SPAIN. of
From Spain we have no direct intelligence tolllo§
any moment, except that the .successes of the DetCar .1

are confirmed, so fa.r as relates to the defeats of Ge.lliboh`
Valdez and Iriarte. The report of the taking of 131,410
however, is contradicted; the Carlists, in fact, 113"4
even made an attack on the town. The news brtly
by the Royal Tar is, therefore, as we suspected, vi the
apocryphal. A letter from Madrid, which appears innish
Courier Francais, positively states- that the Spa the
government had claimed of the Queen of Porttlebo
execution of her share of the quadruple treatyi Ifs

two brigades of infantry,' five or six squadrons ° or•

of the Basque provinces. We must- have better anil°'
before we afford implicit credence to this statement.

The Brussl papers of the II th contain many arl by

interested parties. The distress at Antwerp is desc,irl op
by one. of tleese papers as 'being appalling ; hundreus,s,
hundreds of persons, formerly in tolerable circumstaaers_
are said to be actually. in want of bread. Neither the:
papers, nor the German papers of the 6th, bring ant pa.
litical news of importance. At Vienna a report
ciliated of an intended reducing of the Five per u`-to
Stock'to Four per Cent., " and much credit is glve° ed
it. This is the reason that the Four per Cents. content is
to rise, while the Five per Cents. declined, and
other descriptions of Stock little business was done.

war in Asia Minor in person. Serious disagreeme

endeavouring to counteract, as far as in him lies, we -
