SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the sth contains another
batch of royal decrees making nominations of
governors of provinces, also one accepting the resig-
nation by General Pavia of the post of director-
general of artillery. It was said that the Arch-
bishop ofToledo had received orders to return to his
diocese. The journals hostile to the Government
were the Discusiom, a democratic organ, the Iberia
and Novedades, progressist, and the Leon Espanol,
Espana, and Parlament°, moderadoes. It was
at M. leturitz's own desire that he was not sent as
ambassador to London, he thinking it necessary to
remain in Madrid to defend the acts of his govern-
ment. A letter from a semi-official source says :
"Amongst the projects ascribed to the new govern-
ment is one which will obtain all suffrages. It is
to send 10,000 troops to Mexico to demand peremp-
torily reparation for the outrages committed on
Spanish subjects, and in case of refusal to com-
mence. hostilities. Au imposing squadron is to ac-
company the expedition."

A Vieuna letter in the Independence of Brussels,
says :—" The senator Baron Heekeren has left
this place fir Paris ; and although it is still denied
that his journey had any political character, I de-
clare that it had. I may add that Baron Heekeren
had two long conferences with Count de Buol, to
whom he offered the most friendly protestations
on the part of Count Walewski, and he expressed
in the name of the French Government the desire
to remain in good harmony with the Austrian
Cabinet. I learn that Count de Buol, on his part,
manifested the most conciliatory sentiments."

Accounts from. Vienna announce that the Archi-
mandrite Nicanor has been released
.by the Aus-
trian authorities, and hadraturned to Monteceuro
.

A postal treaty between Greece and Russia is
about to be concludel.

Admiral Sir Henry Hope, K.C.B. (in the chair) ; Capt.
Hon. Francis Maude, R.N. ; Win. Stuart, Esq. ; Sir
Charles R. Rowley, Bart. ; Captains Lean and WPst-
brook, R.N. The committee awarded 6231. 15s. to 233
widows and mariners and 15 shipwrecked men, to help
to replace their clothes This relief to widows and men
is in addition to that afforded to shipwrecked persons on
every part of the coast, by clothing and sending them to
their homes. It was reported at the meeting that the
heavy calls on the institution made an appeal to the
public necevaary : we hope it will be. liberally responded
to, as, by its efforts, the country is cleared of beggars,
under the plea of being shipwrecked, and our seamen
preserved from being pauperised, by being obliged to
beg their way home when cast helpless on our coast.
