SPAIN

The same courier has brought us the following, dated
" MADRID, Nov. 15

" M. Olozaga has been elected President of the Congress,
by a majority of 82 to 41. His competitor, M. Acunha, the
former President, was the Ministerial candidate.
" M. Cortina was elected Vice-President."
" PERPIGNAN, Nov. 19.

" A letter from a Cavalry officer at Barcelona, received on
the 18th by express at La Jonquiere, states that ' after a san-
guinary engagement we (the troops of the Queen) have been
obliged to evacuate the city (of Barcelona). The inhabitants
have possessed themselves of the artillery. We have bi-
vouacked for the last two days at the foot of the ramparts.
The Angels'-gate was the first that was carried by the Na-
tional Guard. The women were armed with pikes. Detach-
ments of troops of the line still occupy Aldarazanas, Mont-
juich, and the port.' We are assured that the insurrection
has extended itself to Solsono and Lerida."

With reference to the revolution in Spain, previous inti-
matio❑ had been received.

The Paris Moniteur of Saturday contained the following :
—" In the evening of the 13th inst., 30 workmen of Barce-
lona attempted forcibly to bring in at one of the gates several
casks of 'vine without paying the tolls. The people joined
them ; the guard was disarmed, and a soldier killed. Rein-
forcements having arrived, 12 persons were arrested. The
editor of the Republican° was thrown into prison.
" On the 14th the workmen deserted the workhouses and
filled the streets of the city. 10,000 of them form part of
the National Guard. At 5 o'clock p.m. the avenues leading
to the Town-hall were occupied by the National Guards,
who refused to surrender their posts to the troops of the line.
A regiment was drawn up en battaille, on the Rambla, with
six pieces of artillery. All the troops of the garrison were
under arms. A collision was expected. Several National
Guards had levelled their muskets at an officer. No stage-
coach or travellers reached Figueiras from Barcelona on the
16th ; the gates were closed. The cavalry and infantry of
the garrison of la Jonquiere have left for Barcelona. Horse
expresses succeed each other on the road between Barcelona
and Figueiras."

COLONIAL INTELLIGENCE.

WEST INDIES

The Clyde, royal mail steam-packet, from the West Indies,
arrived at Falmouh on Friday morning, at three a.m. The
despatch used, being in the strict letter of the new regulation,
she started again, barely allowing time for the lieutenant to
get over the side when the ladder was raised, and no further
communication allowed, the representative of the London
press hanging on by the stern. It was ordered by Captain
Elliot, that the Tweed, which had been on shore, should
come to England, but the Clyde, from her longer service,
and also having sustained damage by being on the rocks, had
the preference. She has but a small freight, and about 11
passengers. She left St. Thomas's, Oct. 24 ; Bermuda,
Nov. 2 ; Fayal, 12. The Clyde brings intelligence of the fa-
vourable commencement of the new system, which has been
introduced without the least confusion or derangement of the
mail service, four ships which were the number required—
namely—the Clyde, Teviot, Trent, and Tweed, having been
in waiting at St. Thomas's previous to the arrival there of
the Forth on the 2 Ith of October. The Tweed had not
incurred any damage, as was supposed to be the case, by
touching the ground at Turk's Island, the dangerous navi-
gation of which will in future be wholly avoided, as the com-
pany's ships will no longer be required to touch at that place.
The Solway, respecting which some unfavourable reports
have been industriously circulated, left Bermuda, in company
with the Clyde, on the 2d instant, in as perfect condition as
when she left England. The Solway proceeded to St.
Thomas's.
