Spain is far from being in a tranquil state.—ln a
preceding column we have inserted some intelligence
from that countr y ;and the Toile, receive,' this forenoon,
contains an article from Madrid, of April 12th, stating
that a tumult had taken place in that capital, on ac-
count of the new duties levied at the gates on provisions
and the first necessaries of life. Oa the 9111 inst. the
mob assembled in the Puerta del Sol and Plazs Mayor,
and declared their intention to assemble next morning
at the gates of the city, and oppose the levying of the
new taxes.

During the following night the troops were under
arms, and the streets in every direction were scoured by
the patrols, one of whom, at three o'clock in the morn-
ing, met a crowd near one of the gates, armed with
staves, sticks, and similar weapons, but on the ap.
pearance of an armed force they dispersed themselves.

The next night, as five Royalist volunteers were quit-
ting a house near the church of St. Francis, situated
in one of the quarters occupied by the lower classes, a
petard exploded near them. They immediately cried
out that a pistol had been disiharged at them, and
spreading an alarm in the neighbourhood, 120 of the
Royalist volunteers, all armed, were on the spot, and
threatened to break into the houses of the negro., and
do justice. A piquet of the Queen AMU/ell regiment
of Lancers, quartered in the neighbourhood, attempted
to suppress the mutiny, but were repulsed ; as was a se-
cond detachment. Nearly the whole of the Regt. was then
called out, and occupied all the avenues to the street
where those events were passing. The Colonel of the
Volunteers, M. VALLAaus, soon after appeared, and
attempted to bring his soldiers to obedience; but, net-
withAanding his popularity, he failed, and called on
the Lancers to charge the rebellious troops. At this
moment the Captain. General of the Province, and Go.
femur of the place, arrived on the spot, and the V.lon-
teems were dispersed. The account adds, that tranquillity
was re-established in Madrid.

Some idestiif the alarm which pervades Spain, may
be formed from the circumstance of a few merchant
vessels of difFeritu nations having been seen on the coast
of Catalonia, when the inhabitants ran to arms, and
more than 1000- were. assembled. As these vessels
were thought to hive appeared with no other intention
than to revoltitionize,Spain, the Catalonians, during the
night, fancied tl: ey saw a host ofConstitutiorrilistslanded,
and formed in battle envy on the coast; they therefore
commenced their attack, though apparently at a respect-
ful distance, and continued it until morning, when they
;discovered that their snununition had taken effect on
the hOtes in the neighbourhood, «hich their fears had
conjured Up to in. iniatding . army , and seen in every
bush, if not an (Meer, it feast a soldier. The principal
cause of these troubles,. is attributed to the state of
misery to which these people are reduced, and which
s more aggravated eget y day, and to that general
inquietude which result: from a situation so deplorable.

Yesterday morning, early, the Duke of Yorta left
town and proceeded to Hounslow Heath, where his loyal High-
ness, attended b f his Stiff Officers, inspected the Bth Regiment of
Light Dragoons, previous to their leasing the King's duty at that
station, from which they are to be relieved by the 12th regiment of
lancers. The relief of the Bth Regiment takes place two months
sooner than the usual time. The regular period for such a station
being twelve months, which would not have expired till next June.'
The exchange of duty being two months before the usual time, is
occasioned by the unexpected removal of the 10th Regiment of

piration of twelve months.
