SPAIN.

The contents of the Madrid journals of the 4th
are of a certain degree of importance. A band 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 enders 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 barrack, at the
• same time shooting one of them ; they then 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 explois 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 haudo declaring the province
of Seville in a state of siege, and estahlishing a court-
mat tial to try persons guilty of sedition or appearing
in arms; also lot bidding groups of more than three
persons to assemble in cite 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 clevas-
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 detail. They also state that disturbances
were expected at Badajoz.
A telegraphic despatch, dated the 7th, says ha
the insurrection of Utrera had been 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 Tuiin of the sth says :
" We learn from Genoa that Miss Jesy Meriton
White has been arrested, having refused to quit
the country, and declared her intention of under-
going a trial rather than leave. She ha 3, it is said,
written to Advocate Brofferio to ask him whether
he would be disposed to undertake her defence."

Advices from Constantinople of the 25th ult.
state that oa the preceding night Chefki Paaha,
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.—Letters
from Constantinople of the 24th of June make mention
of an official report by Reis Ostnan, the master of an
Ottoman coasting craft, to the authorities at Trebiz nude
en the 16th or that month of tnig vessel's having, while
hauled up on the beach at Ghelenjik, 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 hill, and which steamer, after firing some 100
shots at the bazaar, without causing any damage of im-
portance, 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 Kaleb, accom-
panied by three gun-boats in tow, where, after bombard-
ing the place, some 80 or 90 armed men landed, ran-
sacked the bazaar of the most valuable goods exposed
there for sale, then set fire to the rest and to all the con-
tiguous houses, capturing two more coasting craft bc-
-I"ging to Trebizmde, 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 Circassians and Poles, defeated in the
vicinity of nape a Russian force of 15,000 with dread-
ful slaughter, no quarter being shown. Prince Gagarine
had evaded the watchfulness of the Circassian sharp.
shooters, and contrived to land three battalUns during
the darkness of the night, which force had occupied
Gagra. Letters from Constantinople and Smyrna by
the overland mail speak of serious disturbances in
Mingrelia. cc.
