SPAIN

Accounts from Madrid of the 23rd ultimo state
that the Infanta Luisa was better, and appearances indi-
cated that she would be entirely recovered in a few days.
The Champer of Deputies granted ministers on that day
the required authorization to levy taxes, by a majority of
134 to 12. On the 22nd ult. Mr. Bulwer sent in a pro-
test, in the name of his government, against the :Nlont-
pensier marriage. " Finding," he says, " that neither
the counsels, the interests, the wishes, nor the friendly
feelings of England were in the slightest degree regarded
or taken into consideration, Mr. Bulwer was compelled
to present, as a last measure. a formal protest."
Accounts from Madrid, of the 25th ult., announce that
on that day Count Bresson repaired in state to the palace,
and formally demanded the band of the Infanta for the
Duke de Montpensier. General Serrano having written
to Mr. Bulwer, to know if England had opposed the mar-
riage of the Queen with her cousin, as stated by M.
Isturiz in the senate, our ambassador addressed to him a
reply, in which he contradicted that statement, and de-
clared that he had confined himself to protesting, in the
name of his government. against the marriage of the
Infanta. Mr. Bulwer having authorised General Serrano
to use his letter as he thought proper, the latter had in-
serted it in the Mown. Publico. which was seized for pub-
lishing it. The sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on
that day offered no interest.
ALLEGED EXECUTIONS IN SPAIN.—We have this
moment received, says the Paris Constitutionnel, a letter
from the frontier of Spain, announcing that 80 insurgents.
amongst whom were several priests, have been taken and
shot at Lerida. At Seu d'tJrgee several priests were put
an end to by strangulation. Amongst them was one who,
it is said, performed the duties of bishop, and a canon
named Gazi, who long officiated in the French parish of
Nahuja. This latter news appears official. Other letters
from the frontier announce that Count de Montemolino is
in Catalonia. This is also given in a Paris journal as a
positive fact."

The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeilung ofj the 23rd Sept.

The Mormons and the Anti-Mormons are on the eve
of battle. A fight is inevitable.
The Mormons are said to have lately organised a regi-
ment of women, who are in full discipline, and promise.
by all appearance, to fight far more desperately than their
male fellow-soldiers.
The accounts by the Britannia state that the potato
