DIRECT FROM SPAIN.
NFW.YnRK. APRIL. |

by the arrival last evening OF the briS
Carauan, Capt Dill, in IS days from
Cadz, we have been favored with papers
from The 27th OF February 10 the 4,h of
March inclusive, which contain Madrid
dates to the 25th Of February, three DAYS
later than those received by the last ar
rival from Liverpool.
A president, vice presidents, &c. were
chosen with much unanimity, at a Sc
cond preparatory meeting, for the next
Cortes.
Things remained in nearly the same
state as at our last accounts. The King
and Queen were both sick. .,
The Madrid papers state that Sir Ro-
bert Wilson is 70 have command of a
Portuguese division to operate against
the French, in case they invade Spain.
We have been favored with the follow
ing translations.
CADIZ, MARCH s.
AT the second am last preparatory
meeting ofthe Cor.es, on the 25th OF
February, Senior Flores Caderon, was
eiected President by la votes out of
1879, Sr: Valdes Bnstos, by Ill, and for
secretaries, Sr. Santus Suarel Llorente,
Tore, and Sorla. His Majesty having
been pleased to appoint the hour of .. P.
M. for receiving, in his bed, the deputa-
ton who were to report the installation
of the Cortes, thus left the Chamber at
that time, and on,,heir return, Sr. San
chez stated that they had periormeo
their duty, and made known to His Ma
iestv the feelings of the Cores on the
subject Of his indisposi,ion. His M les
ty replied that the state OF his health
would not permit him TO assis, in the
act Of opening the sessions of the Cortes.
MADRID, FEB. %.
The disagreeble events Off few last
days have placed the Ministers in SO vio-
lent situation, that in spite of al their
inhexibih'y and integrity, it seems to us
impossible that they cannot remain long
in their places with benefi, to the public.
Five considerations have doubtless urged
Sr. Gasco to give in his resignation; and
we are assured thai the other ministers
will follow his example.
FEB. %.
His Majesty remains in his bed, and
his govt continues, but has increased so
much, that the swelling has extended to
his ANGLE. The Queen has had several
attacks ofconvulsioos.
News has been received by an ex-
traordinary courier from Paris, that the
Spanish funds have been much agitated
in consequence of the unaccountable re-
solution of the Commissioner ofthe Spa.
nish government to protest all bills of
exchange drawn against him.
As soon as the government were in
formed of this, meeting of the mer-
chants OF this capital was called on Satur-
day evening, in which the necessary pre-
cautions were taken, to prevent any i'll
consequences from such fall as the
public credit. THE Editor declares
this story to be fabrication, an Internal
falschood ofthe Ulras.
FEB. 25
To-day General Francisco Ballas,e-
ros mas gone 10 JOIN the army OF Navarro
and Arragon. A troop has also marched
from our garrison towards Builtrago.
The Secretaries of State have given
in their designations, which will probably
not be accepted until they shall have
given their accounts to the next Cortes.
The Kingdom is tranquil, and there is
reason to believe that the remains Of the
faction which Bessicres commanded will
apply for pardons,
