SPAIN.

We have received the Madrid journals of the
27th ult. _

the Epoca states that the superior authorities of
Cuba have proposed a plan for fortifying the island.
The works will, it is said, cause an outlay of forty
millions of reals, but half this sum may, i❑ the opinion
of General CONCHA, be found in savings which he
proposes to make in the war department. The plan
of fortifications proposed by General CONCHA has
been submitted to a committee of general officers,
who have reported favourably on it to the Go-
vernment.
The Comercio of Cadiz says that a royal order
has been received there, conceding to an English
company the power to make a railway from Jerez de
la Frontera to Anclujar.
The Barcelona journals are full of the reciprocal
visits paid by the authorities there and the English
admiral and commanders. General LA ROCHA was
to give a grand ball on the 22d, to which the English
officers and all the notabilities of Barcelona had been
invited.

The Duke and Duchess of INIONTPENSIER had a
levee at their palace at Seville on the 21st, tho birth-
day of their eldest daughter.

GERMAN Y.

The Austrian EMPEROR left Monza on the 25th,
and prodeeded to Lavono. After sailing about for
some time on Lago Maggiore, his MAJESTY pro-
ceeded to Somma, which he reached the same even-
ing. At Serto Calende the Imperial suite was joined
by General WRANGEL.
The prohibition which was imposed upon the Hun-
garian newspapers some time ago, not to insert any
intelligence relative to the refugees, has been removed,
and the editors enjoined to be careful in the insertion
of articles of that nature, for which they are made
responsible,
The Duke of AIODENA has subscribed for the new
Austrian loan to the amount of one million and a half
of florins, and the Cologne Gazette states that the
houses of HOPE, of Amsterdam, and DE RoTifscimn
have subscribed for the remainder of the loan.

The most productive railway in Germany is that
from Furth to Nuremberg, which is at the same time
the shortest and the oldest of all the lines which
exist on the Germanic territory. This line, which
is only about a league and a quarter French measure
(about 3i miles English), was constructed at a cost
of 200,000 florins (500,0001.) ; the gross receipts,
in 1850, amounted to 58,338 florins, and the expenses
to 31,471 florins; leaving to the shareholders a net
profit of 26,861 florins, or 13i per cent. ors the capi-
tal. During the fifteen years that this railway has
existed more than seven millions of persons have
passed over it, out of whom only one passenger has
met with any injury, and that was by his ewn im-
prudence.
The Diet has decided that a contingent of 28,000
men shill be assigned to Frankfort as a protective
force.
Lord COWLEY, the British Ambassador, has been
very diligent in distributing copies of Mr. GLAD -
pamphlet on Naples among the members of
h
with the express sanction of Lord PALM zit -
irTeO Diet, with
is said that the various ambassadors to the
Diet are disposed to repudiate this interference of
a foreign power in the domestic affairs of another
kingdom.
The fate of the projected German fleet seems to be
decided, for the subject appears to have died away. It
is possible that there may be a distinct Baltic flotilla,
in which Austria and Prussia, which intend to main-
tain separate fleets, will take no part.
Prussia, on the conclusion of the Prusso-Hanoverian
treaty, signified its readiness, though not in the ex-
press form of a secret additional article, to act in such
a manner that the conduct of the Baltic flotilla shall
be confided to Hanover. This, under existing cir-
cumstances, will, however, be very likely to create
fresh jealousies and mistrust among the other midland
states of Germany, if they are called upon, as they
certainly will be, to contribute their share to the
maintenance of the fleet in the Baltic. _ _

The opinion is unanimous that Prussia has gained
an immense increase of political influence by the
conclusion of the treaty with Hanover.

ITALY.

There i 3 a report that the little Republic of St.
Marino is to be given to Cardinal ALTIERI, who has
now returned to Bologna. Sardinian vessels will not
in future be permitted to carry on the coasting trade
along the Ronann coast unless they pay the dues im-
posed by the Papal See.
While the Mississippi was lying in the Gulf of
Genoa KOSSUTH addressed a letter to the Government
of Turin, requesting permission to rest for a few mo-
ments on the Sardinian soil. The Sardinian Go-
vernment
replied that it did not wish to oppose the
slightest obstacle to his staying there ; but that in
the present state of its relations with neighbouring
powers, it would remind him of the inconvenience
that might result therefrom, and would leave it to his
own conscience to decide whether, under such cir-
cumstances, be ought or ought not to invoke the hos-
pitality of Piedmont. This reply was approved by all
parties, and KOSSUTH did not land.
Signor SPINOLA, the Sardinian Charge d'Affaires
to the Holy See, arrived at Rome on the 93d ult.
On the sane day Signor MARONGILJ, the Archbishop
of. Cagliari, who was expelled last year by the Sar-
dinian Government, arrived at Rome from Leghorn.
The Malta journals of the 25th ult. announce the
departure cf Mr. LusnuNGToN, the Chief Secretary
of the islald, for
Naples

of his health. The local
journals express great regret at this gentleman's de-
parture.
