MADRID, July 14.—The Royal authorisation to
enforce the new law on the press has been published.
The Senate .has adopted by 64 votes to 17 the
bill for authorising the government to carry into
effect the bill on the press. In consequence of the
numerous arrests made in Madrid tLe prisons were
so full that the breaking out of maladies was appre-
hended. Most of these persons had been arrested
on the pretext of being vagabonds, and yet amongst
them were many in good circumstances, some even
who paid as much as 2,000 reals in taxes. At
Malaga numerous arrests of persons notedifor the
violence of their political opinions continue to be
made.

A letter from Cettinguen, in the Agram Gazette,
gives some details of the late executions in Monte-
negro. It appears that on the evening of the 26th
ult. ten agents of Prince Danilo made their appear
ante in the village of Bercelli, and seizing on the
pope Gjuro Popovic and his eldest son, shot them
on the market-place, and then hanged their bodies
to a gibbet. Tue crime of. these unhappy men is
not stated.

A St. Petersburg letter sari that the Emperor
of Russia has conferred the Grand Crosse of the
older of Ste. Anne on General Rain, adjutant-
general of the palace to the Emperor Napoleon,
and on.Vice-Admiral Trehouart, commander of the
fleet at Toulon ; and the Grand. Cross of St. Stan-
islas on Rear-Admiral Claveau, of the French
navy, and on Baron Hausmann, prefect of the
Seine.

The Anglo-Brazilian Bank was the object of great
attention on the part of the Imperial Government.
Several proposals had been made by other partie s.
The Anglo-Brazilian Bank was started by Mr. G.
S. Brandon, supported by influential persons in
London, who have guaranteed the capital to the
Government, and it is said that the charter will be
obtained this month, capital one million, with
power to increase, to issue th( it own notes. The
money market had been very tight ; discounts at
12 per cent., and no gold in the market. The bank
proposed to supply the deficiency.
From Rio there is nothing new in politic,. The
new tariff would come into operation on Ist July.
The Government, it was understood, were dispestd
to make some modifications in it, but no one knew
what they would be. The coffee market reopened
on the 9th ult., at a decline of 103 reis to 200 reis
as compared with rates quoted on the 13th
May. About 101,000 bags had subsequently been
sold ; in all 145,000 bags since the last steamer, of
which 69,000 were for the United States, 71,000 ter
the Channel and North of Europe, and 5,000 for
the Mediterranean. Sugar, white, was quoted at
4 800 to 5.400 ; and brown, 3.600 to 4 000. Hides
were wanting ; only 960 very ordinary ones in
stock. Exchange on London ruled at 27d. to
28d., the bulk of the business having been done at
the former rate ; Hamburg, 650 • Pad., 343 to
345. Discount continued without alteration.
Freight remained dull, and the few charters
effected were, at 355. for the Elbe, 355. to 455. for
tle Channel, and 50c. to 70c. for the Uni;ed
States. _ _ _

From the Bahia Price Current of the 18th of
June we learn that in imp ,rt *articles no transac-
tions of importance had taken place. Of codfish
there were no arrivals, and stocks were rapidly
diminishing, amounting only to about 300 barrels.
In export articles great dullness prevailed in the
beginning of the week, owing to the expected
arrival of the Petropolis steamer ; wi h the excep-
tion of a sale of leaf tobacco, which was said to have
been effected at 5.500 per arroba for closed leaf se-
conds, and 6.500 for firsts, no transactions of im-
portance were effected. After the steamer's
arrival the sugar-market again partly regained
its former activity, and considerable lists of
whites changed hands at 4600 per arroba.
Cotton and coffee continued negle3ted, and prices
of hides and rum remained unaltered. In other
articles no alteration. In freights a vessel was ch tr-
tred for the Channel at 455. per ton. Exchange
transactions have been effected at 28d. 90 days'
sight, and 27fd. 60 days.
