SPAIN.

We have received the Madrid journals of the
7th.

The Gazette publishes an article calculated to
tranquilise the alarm which is felt with respect to
the deficient harvest. The substance of the article
is, that as the harvest has been excellent in Russia,
North America, and France, and as such large
quantities of wheat have been imported into Eng-
land, " the first market of the world," as to cause
a diminution in price, Spain may be certain that
sufficient quantities of corn will be conveyed to her
ports to render a famine impossible ; and the
article declares that the Government has spared no
exertions and no sacrifices to attain that result.

The Gazette publishes the royal decrees which
accept the resignations of M. Olozaga and M. Gon-
zales as ambassadors at Paris and London, and
they say that these gentlemen shall " receive the
emoluments to which their services have entitled
them." M. Mathe, who has been very active in
establishing electriz telegraphs, has been nominated
director-general of telegraphs. The Gazette con-
tains several nominations of superior employes in
the Ministry of the Interior to places which they
formerly filled; most of these gentlemen are of
moderate opinions. The Nacion says :—" It ap-
pears that the Emperor of the French has written
a letter to the Queen in the same spirit as the
famous article in the Moniteur on Spanish affairs."
Brigadier Smith, who played a part in the insur-
rection at Saragossa, has arrived in Madrid to de-
fend himself, but had been exiled to the Canaries.
The other officers who took part in the insurrection
were, says the Parlament°, to be put on half-pay.
At Valencia, all the political prisoners arrested in
the recent events had been set at liberty, except the
democratic deputy, M. Orense, who was to be exiled
to Castro Urdiales.

The Glamor Publico says that the terms of a
treaty with Portugal respecting the navigation of
rivers had been settled. The sales of national and
ecclesiastical property, according to the last re-
turn, amonuted to 584,459,520rea15, which were
359,528,783 more than the upset price. The Go-
vernment had ordered that 7 steamers and 107
smaller vessels should be employed on the coasts
and in the Belearic Isles to prevent smuggling.
A letter says :—" There is a rumour with,
it appears, some foundation of sending General
Narvaez as Ambassador to the coronation of
the Emperor Alexander. The Government is
actively engaged in making new nomina-
tions of governors of provinces, and in so
doing it displays a conciliatory spirit. Everybody
form conjectures as to the line of policy it proposes
to follow, but some clays will probably pass away
before public curiosity be satisfied. The statement
that all the national guards of the kingdom are
to be dissolved is not confirmed. Some papers
state that M. P. de Escosura, late Minister of the
Interior, has left for Portugal, but there is reason
to believe that be is still at Madrid. Incendiary
fires take place from time to time in Castile. The
cholera has broken out at Valdemorlelo, near the
Eicurial. At Madrid it also exists, but we have
not more than twenty cases a day."

A letter from Paris in the Iniependance Edge
says :—" The names of the two vessels of light
tonnage which are charged by Russia to cruise in
the Black Sea are the Kunk and the Wolga, under
the command of Captain Tcheringoff, who has
hoisted his pennant on the last-named vessel.
They will proceed to their destination in the middle
of the present month."

A letter from Copenhagen of the ith says :
"Prince Oscar of Sweden visited this capital two
days ago from the country residence of the King,
and examined the arsenals, dockyards, and slips.
Yesterday the Prince dined with the Queen
Dowager, and then returned to the royal country
residence. Ho leaves to-day for Stveden, and the
King will accompany him as far as Cronenbourg."

M. De Scheele, Danish minister for the Duchy
of Holstein, who is just on the point of appearing
be:ore his judges, has addressed an official repri-
mand to the burgomaster of Ilzehoe, who sits in
the Diet, and who, according to the ministerial
rescript, has been guilty of the high impropriety of
not coming in person to pay his respects to the
minister when he passed through that place.

The council of the Order of St. Maurice and
Lazarus of Piedmont has subscribed the sum of
2,000 f. for the ordnance intended for the fortifica-
tion of Alessandria.
