SPAIN.

MADRID, August Lafragua, the Mexican
envoy, has made known to the Mexican consul,
that the Spanish Government has suspended all
negotiations with him, and that consequently he
has placed the Mexican subjects in Spain under the
protection of France.

Accounts from Melilla to the 23th ult., stated
that the Moors had once again begun firing cannon
on the place, and had hit the Military Hospital,
though without doing it any great damage ; and
that thO Spaniards were returning the fire so vigo-
rously as to cause great loss to the assailants. The
hostilities, which had lasted three days, had so far
been to the advantage of the Spaniards. Of Spanish
news, properly so called, there is none.
