SPAIN.

MADRID, Sept. 18.—The Gazette publishes a
decree naming the resident Minister of the Two
Sicilies at Madrid Grand Cross of the Order• of
Charles 111.

The Madrid journal of the 15th contain no poli-
tical news. The Epoca says that, notwithstanding
what has bean said about the refusal to allow the
Duke de Valencia (Narvaez) to return to Spain, it
has reason to believe " after the promulgation of
the constitution there will be no objection to the
return." The same journal declares that the
rumours that had been curren &that a large mili-
tary foic9 was about to be sent to Africa to chas-
tise the pirates of the Riff, were unfounded, or at
least premature. All foreigners residing at Huesca
and in the province without passports had been
ordered, says the Rpoca, into the interior.

The Berlin journals publish the programme of
the fetes which will take place on the occasion of
the marriage of the Grand Duke of Baden with the
Princess Louisa of Prussia. These fetes will com-
mence on the 20th, the day fixed for the marriage,
and will last for three days.

A letter from Philippolis, in Roumelia, of the
4th, in the Augsburg Gazette, says :—" A superior
officer of the Turkish staff is now engaged in mak-
ing a tour through all the towns of Bulgaria, in
order to interdict the right of carrying arms, as
that right leads to many sanguinary quarrels. The
Turks warmly oppose this interdiction, and on more
than one occasion it has been found necessary to
inflict from 150 to 200 blows on the soles of the
feet of refractory Mussulmans."

A letter from Naples states that the reception
of Baron de Hubner by King Ferdinand was
merely a matter of form, and that no political mat-
ters were discussed. The baron afterwards had
the honour of being presented to the Queen and
other members of the royal family.

The Austrian Gazette of Vienna of the 15th has
the following :—" Ciceruacchio is not dead ; he is
at Constantinople, and is in a very brilliant situa-
tion. Some of his countrymen and one of his
domestics have brought this news to Toulon. Dur-
ing the war in the Crimea ho was engaged in the
wine trade at Balaklava and _afterwards at Sebas-
topol, and he gained a great deal of money. His
wife resides at Rome, and hopes soon to see him."

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 11th, in the
Constitutionnel, says :—The Emperor has not re-
turned here for his fete, and is not now expected
until the end of the month. According to an
approximate calculation, the medal which the Em-
peror has ordered to be coined in remembrance of
the campaign of the Crimea will be distributed to
more than 1,500,000 persons.

THE EMPEROR Op AUSr.RIA'S

EXCURSION.

A letter from Vienna, in the Moniteur, gives a
consecutive account of the late excursion of the
Emperor and Empress of Austria, of which we have
already given some detached accounts :
"The Emperor immediately after his return from
Gran, where he was received in the most enthusiastic man-
ner by the Hungarian population, again set out in com-
pany with the Empress for Carinthia. Their Majesties
arrived at Klagenfurtli on the 3d amidst the loudest
acclamations, and after visiting all the civil and mili-
tary establishments and the hospitals, were present
in the evening at a grand ball given in honour of their
visit. After remaining in the town the following day,
the Emperor and Empress left on the sth, and continued
their journey to Upper Carinthia, passing Villach,
Spittal, and ohervehuch to H,iligenhruth. On the 7th ,
at the early hour of four in the morning, their Majes-
ties attended Divine service, and soon after the Em-
peror on foot, and the Empress part of the way on
horseback and part in a sedan chair, ascended a high
mountain, from the top of which a magnificent view of
the surrounding country could be obtained Their Ma-
jesties returned to Klagenfurth on the evening of the 9th
and on the following day set out for Styria passing through
Lower Carinthia. On taking leave of the civil, mili-
tary, and ecclesiastical authorities, the Emperor ex-
pressed his warm gratification at the reception which
had everywhere awaited his approach, and said that
his sojourn in Carinthia would be one of his most
agreeable reminiscences. In the afternoon of the 11th,
the Emperor and Empress arrived at Gratz. Triumphal
arches and decorations of every kind had been erected,
and at night general illuminations and the cheers of
the crowd expressed the delight felt by the people at
the presence of their sovereign. Their Majesties are ex- I
pected in the Austrian capital on the 15th."
