SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 14th have reached
us. New arrests had taken place at Valencia, and
it was considered necessary to have the streets pa-
trolled at night ; but the Gazette declares that
there is no danger of any further disturbances
taking place. A telegraphic despatch in the
Gazette announces that the Duke de la Victoria
arrives at Tudela in Navarre in the afternoon of
the 10th, and was received with enthusiasm. The
floating debt, which on the Ist April amounted to
572,824,639 reals, had fallen to 565,106,360 reals
on the Ist of May. The King of Holland had re-
mitted various Dutch decorations to Spanish au-.
thorities for having shown attention to his son,
the Prince of Orange, in a visit which he made to
Spain last year. The committee on the bases of
the law on the press had, it was said, determined to
propose to the Cortes to reconsider their determi-
nation to the effect that offences of the press shall
be punished with imprisonment as well as fine ; it
is of opinion that fines alone ought to be adopted.

The Presse d'Orient givei the following details of
the dreadful act of burning to death at Marasch the
agent of the English Government and his family :
—" The name of this unfortunate man was Guar-
mani. The English army had established in
various places in the interior agents to purchase
horses and mules. At Marasch, in the province of
Adona, M. Guarmani,an Italian, had been appointed.
This gentleman was brother to one of the agents on
the coast of Syria of theMessageries I tnperial es. M.
Guarmani lived quietly with his family and several
servants, one of whom was a Mussulman. He
employed several persons as sub-agents, and one of
these had received from him a sum of 4,000 pias-
tres to pay for some mules purchased at a little
distance, and to bring them back. Several days
having passed without the Turk having exe-
cuted his mission, M. Guarmaui sought him
out, and demanded the money. The Turk denied
that he had received it, and M. Guarmani sum-
moned him before the cadi, who gave the suit against
the complainant. M. Guarmani, being exceed-
ingly irritated at such a decision, used some warm
language to the cadi, who ordered him to be seized
and bastinadoed. That, however, could not be
executed, for M. Guarmani rushed out of the
court, and hurried to his own house, where he,
barricaded himself in. The populace, being,
urged on by , the cadi, pursued him and endea-
voured to force in the door of the house. M.
Guarmini, however, having his wife and chil-
dren to defend, held firm, and all the attempts
of the populace proved vain. But the latter, find-
ing every oth,er means ineffectual, determined to
set fire to the house. This they did by heaping
wood and other combustible matters around it, and
then, when tli a unfortunate family attempted to
escape, they us ed sticks and stones to prevent them,
and actually kept M. Guarmani and his family
within the fire until they were all burned to death.
No doubt is entertained that Lord Stratford de
Redcliffe will insist on the most ample satisfaction
for this frightful crime."

A letter from Florence in the Independance
Belga says "The Grand Duke of Tuscany has
positively refciised to conclude the Concordat so
anxiously insilited upon by the Holy See. Florence
is overjoyed a t this, and the Grand Duke on his
return here is to be received with a most striking
ovation. Su eh manifestations sufficiently prove
the sentimen.l,s of the Tuscan people."
