SPAIN.

The contents of the Madrid journals of the 4th
are of a certain degree of importance. A baud of
from 100 to 150 men, armed with carbines and
muskets—many of them new—and mounted on
horses, had invaded—the date is not given—the
-town of Utrera, which is at five leagues from Se-
ville, and contains a population of upwards of
12,000 souls. They were under the orders of a
chief whom they called colonel, and their cry was
"Long live the Republic!" The gendarmerie hav-
ing attempted resistance were overpowered, and
the
_insurgents burned down their barracks, at the
same time shooting one of them ; they than burned
down the Town-hall, and with it all the ar-
chives ; afterwards they notified that the
population must pay a sum of 8,000 piastres
in three hours. The sum was paid, and they
left for Osana and the Sierra Morena, taking with
them 29 horses of the town or neighbourhod. When
the news of these exploits reached Seville, detach-
ments of cavalry were sent in pursuit of the Insur-
gents ; but shortly after symptoms of insurrection
manifested themselves in thetown, and especially at
a spot called Don Hermann ; the authorities' in
fact, learned that an outbreak was imminent. Ac-
cordingly, the Captain-General, Don A. Aleson,
hastened to publish a bando declaring the province
of Seville in a state of siege, and estallishing a court-
martial to try personsguilty of sedition or appearing
in arms ; also forbidding groups of more than three
persons to assemble in the streets. The preamble to
the bando is rather curiously worded :—" Whereas
a faction has shown itself in this province and has
carried into execution its Vandalic ideas of devas-
tation and incendiarism, I have," etc. The jour-
nals also state that movements have taken place at
Malaga, Jaen, Cadiz, and La Carolina (the place
at which the mail was recently robbed), but they
give- no details. They also state that disturbances
were expected at Badajoz.
A telegraphic despatch, dated the 7th, says ha
the insurrection of tltrera had ben completely put
down, and .that 20 of the insurgents had -been
killed ; also that 22 others, who had been arrested,
were to be shot.

The Indipendente of Turin of the sth says :
" We learn from Genoa that Miss Jesey Meriton
White
,has been arrested, having refused to quit
the country, and declared her intention of under-
going a trial rather than leave. She has, it is said,
written to Advocate Brofforio to ask him whether
he would be disposed to undertake her defence."

Advices from Constantinople of the 25th ult.
state that on the preceding night Chefki
member of the council of police, was assassinated
out of vengeance by one of his subordinates. The
Litter penetrated into the harem of his superior and
killed him with repeated stabs of a dagger. The
wife of the murdered man having sought to detain
the assassin, was likewise killed by him. He sub-
sequently gave himself up to the authorities and
admitted his guilt,

RUSSIANS ON THE COAST OF CIRCASSIA.—Lettere
from Constantinople of the 24th of June Make mention
of an official report by Reis Osman, tho master of an
Ottoman eoasting craft, to the authorities at Trebizonde
en the 16th of that month of this vessel's having, while
hauled up on the beach at Glielenjik, been fired into on
the 3d by a Russian steamer of war carrying a British
flag, when some seven or eight out of a score of shots
struck her hull, and which steamer, after firing.some 100
shots at the bazaar, without causing any damage of im-
portarice, weighed anchor, and gave chase to and finally
captured another Ottoman Coasting craft, salt laden,
with a merchant on board belonging to Trebizonde. The
steamer afterwards went on to Soudjak Kaleh, accom-
panied by three gun-boats in tow, where, after bombard-
ing the place, some 80 or 90 armed men landed, ram:-
sacked the bazaar of the most valuable goods exposed
there for sale, then set fire to the rest and to all the con-
tiguous housei,, capturing two more coasting craft be-
longing to Trebizondo, laden with butter and grain. The
same Osman Reis, moreover, reports that towards the
close of May Sefer Bey and Mehmet Pasha, at the
head of 20,000 Circassiars and Poles, defeated in the
vicinity of A nape a Russian force of 15,000 with dread•
ful Rialighter, no quarter being shown. Prince Gagarioe
had evaded the watchfulness of the Circassian sharp-
shooters, and contrived to land three battal one durici;.4
