All that is certain as to the result OF the
step taken by the Count d'Abisbal, are the
positive declarations respecting the real
ioternal situation OF Spain; the instructive
and fearful picture be has sketched Of the
desperate state OF the affairs Of the pre-
dominant party of the Cortes and the u
UNIVERSAL disposition of all men OF influence
TO abandon, or even to subvert, power,
the painful prolongation Of which may yet
cause much unavailing suffering.
The letter Of this general announces,
that be acts in concert with the most es-
teemed generals Of the army, such as Mo,
rillo and Ballasteros; II proves what all
impartial observers have said, that all the
principal, chiefs of The army (only obeying

mission with which he is charged.
"We entered here yesterday evening at
nine o'clock, ahd we found the city very
calm; but nothing could compare with the
explosion of Joy and the cries with which
we were saluted on our arrival at FoucOr-
rate. There were 25 Chasseurs OF the
Guards as an advance guard there; Is

of delrium, by which we were accompa-
MED until we left the village.
Sat the gates Of Madrid every one we
met hailed US in low tone with "Piva Ia
Francia % and, Notwithstanding the late
ness of the hour, we marched on among
the people, who on all sides repeated in
low tones their welcome. A most enthu-
sastic reception is expected for the Prince.

Of Cotton. owing 10 an immense demand
within the past fortnight, an advance OF
I'D per ID. has taken place, The increas-
ing consumption and low prices seem to
strengthen the general confidence in this
article, and spectators have oflate bought
so freely, that the stocks in importers
hands are light, and we therefore expect
a further moderate improvement. This
is the more to be desired, as the present
imports from the U. S.. owing TO the rise
in treigbts, and the fall in exchange, can
not be sold without loss. Sea Island Cot
ton is dull and lower. We annex corr
