SPAIN.

Accounts from Stockholm of the 24th state that
tranquillity had been completely re-established in that
city, but that in Norway the outbreak had assumed
a serious character. Martial law had been proclaimed
in the province. At Drontheim the people attempted
to liberate a Socialist propagandist of the name of
MIKRELSEN. The infantry were twice driven hack
by the mob. A vigorous charge of cavalry cleared
the open space in front of the prison ; the people
rallied in the narrow streets, and finally drove the
troops out of the square. The paving stones were
taken up and barricades erected. Some private houses
were pillaged. Reinforcements of troops were ad-
vancing on Drontheim.

SWITZERLAND.
The Federal Convention of Switzerland, in conse-
quence of the threats of the French and German Go-
vernments, on the subject of the political refugees
resident in that country, has abolished the obligation
imposed in July, 1849, on the cantons, to receive
refugees, and has besides maintained in force the
orders relative to the internment and banishment of
refugees. This determination has been announced in
a proclamation addressed to all cantons.

ITALY.
The Austrians have concentrated an army of 20,000
men on the frontiers of Piedmont.

THE LEVANT MAIL.

We have received Constantinople journals of the
Bth ult., and those of Smyrna of the 14th ult., and
from Athens to the 18th ult. The intelligence from
Constantinople is not important. Ahmet Weffyk
Effendi, Imperial Commissioner in the Principalities
of the Danube, has been named Ambassador at Lon-
don. The announcement of the termination of the
troubles at Samos is confirmed. The Smyrna and
Athens news is quite insignificant. Nothing more
has transpired respecting the demands said to have
been made by the Ottoman Porte on the Viceroy of
Egypt. •

which estimable lady, who died in 1838, he leaves a nume-
rous issue. The Hon. and Rev. deceased was appointed one

tinction are placed in mourning by the lamented death of

MEMOIRS OF HORACE WALPOLE, EDITED BY
ELIOT WARBURTON, D.Q.--A new historical work, which
promises to be one of great general interest, entitled " Me-
moirs of Horace Walpole and his Distinguished Contempo-
raries," including numerous original letters chiefly from
Strawberry Hill, edited by Eliot
Warburton Esq., is an-
nounced for immediate publication by Mr. Colburn. In the
prospectus of the work it is observed with much truth that
" perhaps no name of modern times is prcductive of so many
pleasant associations as that of Horace Walpole, and cer-
tainly no name was ever more intimately connected with so
many different subjects of importance in connexion with li-
terature, art, fashion, and politics. The materials which it
offers to the biographer may indeed be regarded as affording
a series of the most entertaining illustrations of society in the
last century that have ever been brought before the public.
The position of various members of his family connecting
Horace Walpole with the Cabinet, the Court, and the Legis-
lature, his own intercourse with those characters who be-
came remarkable for brilliant social and intellectual qualities,
and his reputation as a wit, a scholar, and a virtuoso, can-
not fail to render his memoirs eqully amusing and in-
structiv "

SWEDEN AND NORWAY.
The disturbances at Stockholm appear to have been
of a much more serious character than we were at
first led to imagine ; and they have been accom-
panied by the outbreak of an insurrection in Nor-
way, which has assumed' a somewhat formidable
character. The disturbances at Stockholm broke out
on the 15th ult. during the absence of the KIAG, at
Christiania.
A letter from liamburgh of the 27th ult., gives
the following details :
" During the winter season, owing to the difficulties
of navigation, there is much delay in the arrivals of
steamers from Norway and Sweden. We have just re-
ceived letters bearing date the 18th of February. Some
disturbance, which threatened to assume a serious as-
pect, had tak,n place at Stockholm. Owing to the ener•
getic conduct of the police and military, they were hap-
pily suppressed.
"On the 14th the students of the University of Upsal
assembled, to the number of four or five hundred, and
paraded the streets of Stockholm. They were dispersed
by the police with some difficulty, the people taking part
with the students.
"On the 15th, assemblages took place on a larger
scale. The police used their staves in dispersing a mob
of some 1,400 persons, and were pelted with stones. It
was found necessary to call out a detachment of cavalry,
which cleared the streets, and arrested some of the ring.
leaders. The regency of the kingdom, established
during the King's temporary abs:-.nee to open the
Storthing in Norway, issu•A a proclamation prohibiting
all assemblages, under penalty of severe punishment, for
au attempt to disturb the public peace.
" Whilst this was taking place at Stockholm scenes of
a similar nature occurred in the town of Levanger, in
the district of Stordal, north of Drentheim, in Norway.
They originated in the arrest of a notorious promul-
gator of Socialist doctrines, by order of the mayor of
Levaner. The people attacked the prison in which he
was incarcerated. The police were driven back, and it
was found necessary to send for a strong detachment of
military to the neighbouring towns. The governor of
the province immediately proceeded to the scene of dis
turbance."
