SPAIN.

We have received the Madrid journals of the
26th ult. The Duke and Duchess of Montpen-
sier, who will be present at the accouchement
of the Queen, are expected at Barcelona, in the
beginning of Septeliber. The opinion seemed
to gain ground at Madrid that Queen Christina
would not enter Spain for that occasion. The
mortal remains of the well-known " Maid of
Sarragossa," who expired no. long since after
having been many years married, and the mother
of a large family, are, by the decision of the
municipal corporation of that town, to be removed
from Ceuta to the capital of Aragon, and a grand
funeral given her. On October 6is to take place
the aljudicati, n of the railway from Saragossa to
Alsusna with a subvention from the government of
330,000 reals the kilometre.
The Nouveltiste Vaudois states that Marshal
Pelissier was lately present at Lausanne at the
drilling of the Swiss recruits at the military school.
He followed with great attention all the move-
ments of these young sobliers, and put several
questions to the instructors on the subject of the
Helvetic military organisation. The federal Col.
Gerwer, who was present, had a long conversa-
tion with the Marshal.

A telegraphic de: atch from Trieste, of the 27th
ult., received at Vienna, announces the arrival of
the Neptune steamer, with accounts from Constan-
tinople to the 22d ult. A caravan composed of 500
persons and 1,300 horses, which left Damascus for
Bagdad on the 29th Juno, had all perished in the
desort with the exception of 20 persons. The per-
eons composing the caravan had lost their way, and
died for want of water. The Bedouins pilhtgert the
b-inage, but the Governor has demanded restitu-
tion for the benefit of the heirs of the sufferers.

"A. telegraphic despatch received to-day from

" On tle evening of the 9i-,11 August, M, Gaetan C.tat;,
a French subject, and Chancellor of the Consulate of
Naples, was assassinated in the public square at Alex-
