SPAIN.

The Madrid papers of the 12th announce that
the number of arrests made in that capital up to the
11th was not less than 1,049, and a letter says that
in the morning of the fitti 26 others Were effected.
According to seine of the journals' the civil gover-
nor, M. Marfori, had declared that he could not
answer for the maintenance of public tranquillity
without airesting 5,000 persons in the capital
and 3,000 in different parts of Spain ; but
these figures were thought to be greatly exagge-
rated. Accounts from Atnodapluurssiauesttihtee trheanatatilnies

influential persons who had promised to sur-
port his movement had failed to do so. Accounts
from Barcelona to the Bth say that all was tranquil
there, though the republican conspiracy had ex-
tended to that city and the province of Catalonia ;
he hid, however, sent out columns to scour the
districts of Granollers, Villafranca, Igulada, and
Vich. A letter from a ministerial source says that
the cabinet means to take up the project for the
sale of public property, and to propose to the
Cor es in October next to "authorise the sale
.f* the real property of the State, as well as the
Almeiden and other mines ; but not to touch the
property of the Church or of charitable establish-
men+s. The proceeds of the sales it will propose
to employ (says the letter) iu the extinction of the
floating debt.

Accounts from Bosnia, in the Cologne Gazette,
say :—" Maters here ale. still unsatidic-ory, and
the complaints of the Christian population increase.
Turkish troops cowinue t.) arrive in order to be
prepared for all events. SAIIII Pacha, who was
connected with the inurd.er of the young Christian
girl in Varna, has been named military commander
of Bosnia."

A correspondent, writing from Vienna to they
Borsenhalle of Hamburg, professes to he acqu:tinted
with the topics discussed by the Emperor of Aus-
tria and the King of Prussia during their recent
Meeting ; he says : The Holstein question
and that of the customs union formed the principal
subjects of conversation, but it is not thought that
any gre it progress was made in the latter question
towards the removal of the difficulties which oppose
the admission of Austria into the Zollverein. It
is incorrect to say that the two sovereigus conversed
on the subject of the Principalities, for the views
entertained by their respective governments are
too much opposed to lead to any hope of an arrange-
ment."

The Bourse Gazette of Vienna of the 11th says
—" Couait Bille Brahe, the Danish ambassador
at this court, has, during the last few days, had
several conferences with Count de. Bun!. We un-
derstand that COunt Bille Brahe was charged to
paint out in the clearest manner that the last Dan-
ish note had as much as possible taken into account
the demands of the German powers, and tha-, it
was necessary to wait for the discussions in the
dies of the duchies before taking any further steps.
It appears c-rtiin that Austria and Prussia will
wait, as already stated, for the result of these dis-
cussions."
