SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 10th contain no
political news of importance. In the Congresa,
the Minister of the Interior had presented bills
relative to the administration of provincial councils
and on the atributions of governors of provinces.
The workmen employed in the works at Torrelo-
dones, in the first section of the Northern Railway,
had created some disturbances, but the Civil Go-
vernor of the district had repressed them. The cause
of them is not stated. The death of Lieut.-General
Count de San Antonio from an attack of apoplexy,
just as he was about to go out for a walk, is an
flounced. A Russian colonel of engineei a, of the
name of Kwita, was occupied in examizing the
plans and documents of the War Department, and
in visiting the military schools and establishments.
A royal decree in the Gazette authorises the Duke
de Montpensier, in consequence of his promotion
to the grade of captain-general in the army, to have
three aides-de-camp. The Barcelona journals
contain accounts of some disturbances at Blanca,
in Catalonia. A band of insurgents ou the
6th invaded the town, and possessed them-
selves of the, Town-hall ; the municipality resigned
and a new one was establisbei. A conflict then
took place (it is not said between whom) and four
men were killed—several wounded. The military
commander of Girona, on hearing what bad occur-
red, hastened to Blanes with troops, but found all
calm. Tie Captain-General of Catalonia, on his
part, despatched three columns by railway, but on
arriving they found thei e was nothing for them to
do. A of troops was, however, ordered to
remain in the place. At Armontera there had
been a conflict, in which two men were killed and
several wounded. The object of the disturbances
is not stated, neither is it said what was the cry of
the insurgents.

A letter from Ragusa of the Gth, in the Nord of
Brussels says
" Accounts received to-'ay from Montenegro announce
that the Turks have resumed hostilities, and that some
troops from the garrison of Podgeritzi have marched to
Pipersk ~ in the valley of the Moracca. On the 30th
ult. the Turks left the fortress with three pieces
of artill ry, and followed the banks of the Moracea
as far as the Montenegrin frontier, which they
crossed. At the momeit when they were about to
return to tLe Turkish territory, driving before them
a quantity of sheep and e•xen which they had taken
possession of, the Montenegrins attacked them, and a
desperate conflict took p!ace, in which several of the
Montenegrins were killed, the Turks also leaving a
number of killed and wounded on the field. The
govertimmt of Montenegro sent information of the
occurrence to the Pacha of. Scutari, and demanded the
prompt chastisement of these marauders. Up to the
present time the Pacha has not given any reply, and
fresh disasters will certainly occur if the Montenegrins
aro compelled to take the law into their 91411 hands

Prince Danilo is said to have adopted the most severe
measures to maintain order on the frontier."

Advicei from Vienna say ;—" The question of
the Danube Navigation Act appears on the point
of settlement. The present document will remain
as it is, but the riverain powers have declared
themselves ready to add additional clauses con-
taining the extensions demanded in Paris and
London."

In the Second Chamber of Prussia on Saturday,

lating the circumspection of electoral districts

quently approved of the treaty of commerce with

regulation of the general accounts ; the second,
