The Madrid journals of the sth have arrived. M.
Salazar. Minister of Marine in Espartero's cabinet,
had addressed a letter to the Iberia, expressing the
opinion that in the event of new elections being or-
dered, the progressist party ought to abstain from
taking part in them. The government had caused
some political personages imprisoned by direction
of the late cabinet in the provinces of Valencia and
Teruel to be sot at liberty, and had again ordered
that all other political prisoners should either be
brought to trial or be released without delay. M.
Mon is stated to be completely absorbed in pre-
paring the estimates, and in making arrangements
for endeavouring to relieve the country frem its
financial embarrassments. Dona Josepha, the
King's sister, had returned to Madrid from a visit
to England and France; the Infante Don Francisco
and the Infanta Dona Isabel had also returned to
the capital. Lord Howden, the English ambassa-
dor, was not expected back to Madrid before the
end of Nov. The Pope has sent to the Queen a
mosaic representing the history of the Prodigal Son,
in return for a painting of the Prodigal by Murillo,
presented him by her Majesty. It is remarked
as a curious circumstance that several days had
passed without the seizure of any newspaper.
A commission, which was constituted some time ago
for making reforms in the administrative laws, hnd
terminated its labours. A telegraphic line had been
established between Granada and Malaga. The
province of Malaga is stated to be at last free from
bandits, and the arrest of a famous bandit named
Diaz is announced.

A great number of Russian families of rank have
already domiciled themselves in Rome, and houses
are taken for several distinguished English families,
who propose making the Eternal City their head-
qnarters this winter. Amongst the recent arrivals
are 'General Rawdon, Lady Cremorne, Lady
Jervis, Colonel and Mrs. Caldwell, Colonel and
Mrs.Neabitt, Mrs. Dennistoun, of Dennistoun; Mr.
Graham, of Gartmore ; and Mr. Douglas Sandford.
The Right Hon. R. Lowe has left Rome for Flo-
rence, on his way to England.

The Etoile du Danube of Brussels publishes the
report presented by a committee to tho Divan of
Wallachia in the sitting of the 21st ult., which
recommends the union of Moldavia and Wallachia,
the election of a foreign prince to reign over them,
and the establishment of a representative system of
government. It is known that the Divan passed
resolutions in accordance with these recommenda-
tions, which scarcely differ from those previously
mentioned in the report presented by the com-
mittee of the Divan of Moldavia.

A Berlin letter says: " In consequence of the
return of Reschid Pacha to power, M. de Gundlach,
the Prussian Charge d'Affaires at Constantinople
applied to his government for instructions as to the
conduct he was to observe towards the Grand Vizir.
An order was sent to him not to change in any way
his ordinary relations with the Turkish minister."

Accounts from Dresden, in the Augsburg Gazette,
state that the finances of Saxony were never more
brilliant than at present. The treasury is so well
provided that a reduction of taxation is considered
probable.

The statest of Holstein (says the Nuremberg Cor-
respondent) havo just forwarded to the various
federal governments of Germany a list of their com-
plaints against Denmark, accompanied by an ex-
planatory statement. The statement in question is
shortly to bo presented to the Diet.

The Lausanne Gazette gives the following expla-
nation of the fact which led to the remonstrances
lately addressed by the French Government to the
Federal Council of Switzerland, as mentioned by
telegraphic despatch :
"On the 7th October two batteries of artillery,
one belonging to Bale (town) and the other to Bale
(country), met on the plateau of Mariastein, where
they had some ball practice against a pile of hig h
rocks. The French frontier is at least 600 paces
from the points against which the balls were di-
rected, and higher by from 150 to 200 feet, so that
no one could reasonably suppose that there was any
danger of the balls reaching the French ground.
It, nevertheless, appears that they did so from
ricochets in a manner almost incredible. The balls,
however, caused neither accident nor damage."
