SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 3d have arrived.
They do not contain any detailed account of the last
affair in Morocco, but they say that there is reason
to believe that the major part of the troops
with whom the Spaniards have hitherto fought
are reinforcements sent by the Emperor Muley
Abbas (who is still at the head of a large army
between 'rangier and Tetuan) to the contingents
at Anghera. One of the journals mentions a
curious incident in the combat of the 25th :
—The Moors, in spite of the discharge of grape,
succeeded in reaching the Spanish guns, and they
fought hand to hand with the Spanish artillerymen.
Some of them were even animated with such rage
that they bit the Spaniards and attempted to
strangle them. On the Ist the weather, says a tele-
graphic despatch, " was horrible" at Ceuta. It was
said that the Moors had carried to Tangier the heads
of seven Spaniards.
Mr. Drummond Hay, the English Consul-General
at Tangier, had arrived at Gibraltar, but it was said
that he would shortly return to his post.
The son of the King of Congo had arrived at
Cadiz from the Havannah on his way to the Spanish
colony of Fernando Po ; but why he goes there is
not stated.

FRANCE.
• PARIS, WEDNESDAY.
A Paris letter, in the Nord of Brussels, says
" Several Governments,.and England among them,
have already made known their acceptance of the
invitations sent to them for the Congress. Lord
Wodehouse, the present Under-Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs in England, has, it is stated,
been appointed second plenipotentiary. The.
replies of Prussia and Sardinia to the invitation
of France have been received, giving complete
adhesion. Nothing tends to contradict the first
account given, that M. de Schleinitz and Count
Pourtales had been fixed on as first and second
plenipotentiaries for the Government of Berlin.
There is no truth in the statement that the letters
for the King of Naples and the Pope had not been
sent off. The exiled sovereigns and the present
chiefs of the Governments of Central Italy will
plead their cause before the great European Coun-
cil by means of notes and memorials. The publica-
tion of a new memorandum by the Duchess of Parma
is already spoken of."
" The electoral agitation in Piedmont and Lom-
bardy," says a letter from Turin, "since the carry-
ing into effect of the new communal and provincial
law has been very unusual. Genoa and Turin,
though accustomed during ten years to the consti-
tutional regime, never witnessed such a serious
movement. At Milan all the associations and all
the clubs of trades and artists have been trans-
formed into electoral committees. It is most grati-
fying to see a country understand and exercise its
lilmties so well."
The Monitore of Bologna continues to exhume
documents relative to the administration of the
cardinals. It now publishes a note from the prc-
legate of Bologna, Palluci de Cabolli, respecting a
girl of seventeen, named Angela Capilloni, arrested
for having worn a white, green, and red apron.
When interrogated by the police as to the origin of
the said apron, she replied that she had bought it a
year before merely to vary her costume, and meant
no harm whatever ; that she generally wore it
when dressed up, and no complaint had ever been
made against her before. The pro.legate wished
