SPAIN.

The Mtdrid journals of the 23d have arrived. A
numerousand important meeting of senators of the
Progressit party had, after due deliberation, re-
solved that though they should consider certain
questions ia which Progressist principles were in-
volved as open questions in which they should
oppose the Government, they would give the Cabi-
net their general support. General Prim, however,
who was pesent, dissented from that resolution,
and blamedthe Government for having allowed its
agents to a►t illegally in certain elections. The

semi-official Correspondancia Autografa says that it
is not true, as some of the journals have asserted,
that a new regulation of the public debt is in con-
templation. The same authority, with reference to
remarks in one of the journals, explains that the
reason why M. Mon has not yet presented his cre-
dentials as ambassador to the Emperor of the
French is that his Majesty is absent from Paris;
and it asserts that the relations between the French
and Spanish Governments could not be more satis-
factory than they are.

ARRIVAL OF THE INDIAN EMPIRE.

The steamship Indian Empire arrived at Broad-
haven (60 miles from Westport), at 9 a.m. on Fri-
day, the 26th inst. The passengers landed in
excellent health, expressing themselves highly
satisfied with the ship, captain, officers, and crew.

During the whole voyage they experienced heavy
south-easterly gales. The ship having 30 hours'
coal remaining, and being only 350 miles from
Galway, Capt. Courtenay, in consequence of a con-
tinuance of the fearful weather, deemed it advisable
to lie to, which he did for seven days.
There were above 80 passengers on board, all of
hom, with the crew, are quite safe.
The masts, bulwarks, and part of the cargo were
burnt, as fuel and provisions run short ; since the
11th the crew and passengers were on short
allowance.

The skip left Halifax on the night of the 31st,
having on board 16 days' fuel. Her machinery
worked well, and the ship proved to, be a first-rate
sea boat, and well adapted for Atlantic navigation,
having only shipped one sea during the whole
passage.

Th* captain stated that the weather was unpre-
cedented ; many casualties must have occurred, as
they fell in with great quantities of floating wreck.
On Monday last they spoke the ship Silistria, 115
days from Callao ; she had been 30 days within 300
miles of the Irish coast.

The Tubal Cain has been despatched from Wes
port with coals.

The following particulars have been supplied by
Mr. Barry, the chief officer of the Indian Empire :
" The ship arrived at Broadhaven Bay on Friday,
the 26th inst., having been 0ut.34 days from New
York. She experienced heavy south-easterly gales
from the day of sailing, and when within 300 miles
of Galway her fuel was expended. She lay to
under canvas, in hopes of obtaining a fair wind,
from the 11th to the 21st, when, as a last resource,
it was determined to tear up the decks, and with
the cargo (cotton) endeavour to reach the nearest
port, which, under Providence, was accomplished
oti Friday. All well on board, and great praise is
due to all the passengers for their untiring exer-
tions in assisting the crew."
