SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 6th have arrived.
The Ministers have raised a loan cf 30,000,000
reals from the Spanish capitalists, at 9 per cent. This
sum is to be placed at the disposal of Count MIRASOL,

was sent to adjust difficulties that had arisen be-
tween the superior authorities of the island and
the Government. But this supposition was soon

tive to the island of St. Domingo, which, being
for some time a prey to civil war, repeatedly claimed
the protection of Spain.
'lbis explanation appears as
unfounded as the other; and it is more likely that

the more probable, as several Cabinet Councils, and
