SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the sth contains a tele-
graphic despatch from Marshal O'Donnell to the
Minister of War, expressing in the name of himself
and the army of Africa indignation at the conduct
of Gen. Ortega, and begging that the Queen may
be assured that the generals, officers, and soldiers
of his army are ready, if necessary, to die in defence
of her throne. From all parts of the country also
protestations of devotedness to the Queen were
arriving both from public functionaries and
populations, the Gazette containing several
columns of such documents. All the Foreign
Ministers had waited on the Minister of Fo-
reign Affairs 'to offer congratulations on the
failure of the insurrection, and Queen Christina
had sent a telegraphic despatch to her Majesty to
the same effect. A capitalist of the name of Man-
zanedo, of Madrid, on hearing of the rising, had
offered to advance the Government 6,000,000 reels
at once, and even larger sums if necessary. A noted
Carlist chief, named Mur, formerly adjutant to
Cabrera, was with Ortega. The Balearic islands,
notwithstanding the departure of the garrison, have
remained perfectly tranquil ; and General Mendi-
nueta, military governor of Aranjuez, had been ap-
pointed Captain-General in the place of General
Ortega.

FRANCE.

PARIS, MONDAY.

The inclement weather has again partially re-
turned. Saturday was a mild spring day ; yester-
day we were favoured with a hot sun, accompanied
by a piercing cold north wind. Last evening we had
some mild rain, but at five this morning a shower
of hail fell with such violence that the hot-houses
in the neighbourhood of Paris suffered. This day
is cold and windy with showers, and at 3 p.m. a
slight fall of snow succeeded by a gleam of sun-
shine. A friend just arrived from Meaux says that
he experienced there last week thunder, lightning,
hail, and rain.

The Courier of the Alps announces that French
engireers are travelling through the lately annexed
provinces of Savoy and Nice, and that they have
commenced making plans for numerous public
works to be executed. A survey is to be made of
the provinces on the plan of the French Cadastre ;
railways are to be constructed, new public roads
are to be laid out, and telegraphic wires hid
down. The engineers have commenced their opera-
tions in the Chablais and Faucigny. A notice
posted at the Town-hall of Nice announces that
the engineers of the Lyons Railway 'Company
are authorised to execute plans for the comple- I

tion of the railway from Toulon to the Var. It
is announced, on the same authority, that Prince
Napoleon and the Princess Clotilde propose to visit,
after Easter, Nice, Chambery, and the principal
towns of the newly annexed provinces. The Em-
peror has decided on the report of the commissioners
sent into the annexed provinces that the privates
now forming the army there shall be discharged,
and that the contingent to be levied annually in
future will amount to about 4,500 men, in place of
17,000 hitherto drawn by conscription. The vote
by universal suffrage on the question of the annexa-
tion of Saxoy and Nice to France is to be taken on
Sunday, the 22d inst. There is no doubt of the
result. The Dowager Empress of Russia gave a
grand soiree musicale last week at Nice, to which
General Froissard, the Emperor Napoleon's aide-
de•camp, was invited.

AMERICA.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

The Cunard screw steamer Etna, Captain Ander-
son, which left New York on the 9.9 th ult., arrived
in the Mersey about noon to-day, but brings neither
passengers nor specie.

In the Senate the Navy Pay Bill was so amended
that captains at sea should receive a salary of 4,000
dols. ; those who were waiting orders and are OR
leave, 3,000 dols, ; and those discharging other
duties, 3,600 dole. After some unimportant amend-
ments the bill was read a third time and passed.
An interesting debate occurred in the house on the
bill recently reported from the committee on the
judiciary to suppress polygamy in the territories of
the United States. Mr. Branch suggested that if
polygamy was declared criminal, there would be
no reason why the same action might not.be taken
regarding slavery. He could not vote for the provi-
sion of the bill, which made penal laws applicable to
all the territories of the United States. Mr. Clarke
stated that the committee on territories had it in
contemplation to report a bill parcelling out Utah
among the neighbouring territories, so that the
people themselves might remove the evil of poly-
gamy. A disposition decidedly favourable to the
measure under discussion was shown by the vote
on a motion to lay the subject on the table, 19 mem-
bers recording their names in the affirmative, and
148 in the negative.
The brig Virginian, of New York, an alleged
slayer, captured on the 10th February, in the Congo
River, by the United States sloop-of-war Ports-
mouth, had arrived at Charleston. There was a
mutiny,among the crew of the brig on the passage,
but the mutineers were secured before they could
effect their object.
On the 28th ult. a fire broke out in West Forty-
fifth-street, New York, by which ten human beings
—two mothers and eight children—were burned to
death. The building was miserably constructed of
wood and four stories in height, with narrow stair-
case and no means of egress by way of the roof.
The fire was believed to be the work of an incen-

diary:
Dates from Havannah are to the 25th ultimo.
The sugar market was firm. Freights slightly de-
clined. Exchange on London, 121 to 14 piem.
Considerable excitement existed among the abo-
litionists in Philadelphia by the arrival in that city
of a negro arrested in Harrisburg as a run-away
slave. After the conclusion of the argument, the
fugitive slave was remanded to his owner. Great
excitem nt prevailed in the vicinity of the Court-
house•on _he announcement of the judge's decision.
A large crowd, chiefly composed of negroes, assem-
bled, and on the fugitive being taken to a carriage,
they surrounded it, and made a desperate attempt
at rescue. The carriage was broken down, when
the police interfered, and arrested twelve of the
rescuers. The fugitive was then escorted to pri-
son. A writ of habeas corpus had been served on
the Marshal; in the meantime the fugitive awaits
the action of the state court.

The number of banks and branches on the Ist
January throughout the United States, according
to the returns at the Treasury department, was
1,562 ; the capital paid in, 421,880,000 dols., and
the amount of specie on hand 83,994,000 dols. The
resources of these banks, including loans, notes,
securities, and real estate, is stated at nearly
1,000,000,000 dols., and their liabilities 531,000,000
dols.
