SPAIN.

MADRID, MAY S.

Yesterday, after the death of Vanuesa, the persons
composing the troop who had perpetrated it, sepa-
rated; and it was not till the evening that some
groups, more or less numerous, were observed at the
Puerta del Sol, and the neighbourhood. At night
many people met in La Fontana, and several orators
delivered discourses of ♦arious tendency. Captain
Nunez deprecated the event of the preceding even-1
ing, and painted in lively colours the fatal conse-
quences of relating the bonds of society. Citizen
Naccrohoni had before spoken to the same effect. A
Valencian Clergyman insisted on the necessity of pro-
scribing some dozens of persons; which was seconded
by N. Adam, belonging to the office of the Secretary
of Finance.

The drawing up of the list of proscription being
agreed to, several persons began to add to it, placing
upon it several Counsellors of State. Among the
number were two Captains-General of the Army,
four or five Lieutenant-Generals, as many Officers of
the Supreme Court of Justice, the Secretary of the
Finance-office, and many other persons ; and lastly,
Don Javier de Burgos, editor of the Miscellanea !
and Don Sebastian Milian., co-editor of the censor.

The editor of the Miscellanea being informed of
this, and conscious of the purity of his intentions, as
proved by 42,000 pages of his journal, in which there
is not a line but what is eminently liberal, recol-
lected Athens and Aristides, and desired a copy of
the list, intending to publish it to-day : but the late.
n :ss of the hour prevented him from obtaining it.
The list being drawn up, fifty or sixty left La Fon-
tana with it, at about eleven o'clock at night, pro-
ceeding to the Municipality. Being challenged by
the guard, and answering " the sovereign people,"
they entered to
.present their paper. It was full of
erasures and interlineations, as is natural, since on
such occasions there are persons who wish names to
be inserted or erased. The Municipality thought the
list was not regular, since besides being presented in
so dirty a condition, it was not signed and accom-
panied by any representation. They, therefore, re-
commended to the bearers to conform to these for-
malities, and meantime to take some rest; which they
did. We are glad we did not obtain the list, for it
has undergone a hundred alterations to-day ; and in
the last copies we have seen, the name of the Minis-
ter of Finance is omitted, as well as those of several
other persons which were in the original. * * *
In the evening, the Judge of the First Instance, Don
Julian Sojo, went to the prison, and instituted in-1
quiries to discover the authors of the event. After-1
wards the body was examined; and this morning, at,
one o'clock, it was carried to the cemetery out of the
Toledo gate, accompanied by the same Judge, his
Clerk, and other attendants, and eighty soldiers,
both horse and foot.

Yesterday, a notice was published by the Political
Chief, which we abstain from inserting, because it
exhorts to a tranquillity which was not maintained,
and because, being issued before the catastrophe of
Vanuesa, it would be beside the purpose. To-day
the Municipality has published an Address to the
Citizens, enforcing obedience and respect to the law
as the only means of maintaining social order.

CORTES.-+-SITTING OF NIAY 5.

The MINISTER of Watt communicates an Official
Report from Major-Gen. I.Empecinado, of an action
with one of the Guerillas of Merino, who retreated by
favour of the night, leaving fifty prisoners, most of
them mortally wounded, in the hands of the Consti-
tutional troops.
The Mt t 4 iSTER for the government of the COLONIES

gave a succinct account of the murder of Vanueskby
the populace of the capital.
His Excellency then declared that he had a mes.
'sage from his Majesty on the subject.
His Majesty expresses hi, lively scrrow at the news
of this horrible event. He observes, that if it is
not punished in an exemplary manner, and above all,
if it is repeated, it will be impossible to establish the
constitutional system. Foreign Powers will form a
very unfavourable idea of the situation cf Spain, and
of the political institutions it has adopted. Expresses
have been sent to other cities of Spain to pi event
tranquillity from being interrupted there. The king
also said in his message, that he had conversed with
the troops which composed the guard of his Palace,
and was perfectly satisfied with the disposition they
evinced.—The Minister adds, that the Government
has invited the Authorities to provide against the re-
currence of such events.

M. A RN EDO says it was notorious, even in the morn-
ing, that the unfortunate Vanuesa was to be mur-
dered in his prison. lle asks how it is possible that
the Ministry should have taken no measures to pre-
vent such an atrocious crime? He moves that a rigor-
ous inquiry be instituted.
The PRESIDENT (M. Cuesta) wishes the Assembly
to decide that there were grounds to impeach the Mi-
nisters.—The Minister of Colonies pretends that his
colleagues and himself did not: think the danger so
great : if they had, he assures the Assembly, they
would have endeavoured to avert it.

The Count de TORRENO spoke vehemently against.
the Ministers. He observes, that it is not at Madrid
alone, but in the whole kingdom, that the people ar-
rogate to themselves the right of exercising justice,
or rather of drawing up lists of proscription. He asks
if it is credible, as the Minister present affirms, that'
the Ministry was ignorant of the plot of the factious,
when there was not a single Deputy who had not cer-
tain information on the subject.
The Minister of War invites the Assembly to be-
ware of calumniating the sentiments of the heroic
people of Madrid.
Count TORRENO proposes that a Special Commit-
tee shall be appointed to draw up an Answer to his
Majesty's Message. •
The Committee was named immediately.
M. RAMOS A RISPE said the Spanish people did not
wish for victories, but for justice. He accused of the
murder of Vannes* the Judge Arias, who had told
the people that this man deserved death, and then
sentenced him to a less rigorous punishment.
