LATGST ENOM GONOE6'
The packet ship. Don Quixotte, Capt.
Clark, arrived at New York, in 35 days
from Havre. By this arrival, the Editors
of the Commercial Advertiser have receiv-
ed thsr regular files. of Paris papers to
the 31st Of March inclusive.
SPAIN.
The news from Madrid is TO the cath
Of March. The king and royal family
were about to repair to Aranquez for the
summer.
A French officer in Spain, writes that
the occupation of that country by French
troops is limited to the lst Of July, unless
the Allied Powers deem it necessary that
the period should be prolonged; he thinks
that the Spanish Government will be the
first to apply for an extension of the time.
There are many floating rumors about
disturbances, and the liccntious conduct
of the royalist soldiers at Catalonia, but
we cannot find that any serious event
has occurred. II was believed that for the
greater tranquility Of that province. Leri-
da and Tarragona would be garrisoned by
tho French.
The government. it is believed, nre in
clined to pursue moderate measures, and
to treat the constitutionalists as misguided
men. at least. if we may judge from the
circulars of the ministry. The royal vol
untcers, however. and the populace who
feel themselves supported by them, still
continue their acts Of vengeance. Four
constitutional militia men have been hang
ed and drawn about the streets but the
King has ordered the criminals to be pur-
sued. The royal volunteers. however, are
so little satisfied with certain late meas
ures for the restoration Of good order, that
the Government have thought best to re-
yoke them; and these things will grow
worse and worse.
1t has been determined that the Spanish
prisoners in France shall return to their
country.-Fhey are to set out on the first
of April, and will probably be all at home
by the end of that iSonth.
Lawrence DurocA, an inhabitant Of Sar-
agossa, has been tried for declaring pub
licly that he was proud of having served
under Ballasteros. The Captain General
tice and mercy" condemned him to six
months in the gallies at hard labor, in or
der that his conduct might be observed
and in case he repeated his crime he is tc
suffer the penalty of the law.
The act of amnesty was expected to bs
issued on St. David's day. 1t will simply
be royal declaration, pointing out those
only as criminals who first raised the stand
ard of revolt in the Isle d'Leon. The o
theirs who participated in the revolution
will be acknowledged as merely y impellet
by circumstances which it was impossible
, for them to resist.
A decree has been issued, with excel
, lent effect, for the dissolution Of the pris
oner's depots; and orders have been givel
to the provincial authorities, to set at lib
, erty those in prison against whom ther
are no we'll founded charges.
, In the early part of March, hand-bill
were posted up at Barcelona, announcing
;, that on the 10th inst. a sermon would b.
p preached at one Of the churches, upon tn
imp;ety Of usurping ecclesiastical goods
!. A threatening anonymous letter was sen
, TO the preacher appointed, but the proiec
i was not renounced. Long before the hou
g fixed the church was thronged, but so grea
was the clamor that although strong par
! ty of police officers were in attendance
the preacher was obliged to desist. Upol
! young man being taken into custody, Al
attempt was made by the populace to res
b cue him, and the dispute assumed Sc
rious aspect, but at the moment Genera
o Marngone came up with some Frenc
soldiers, arrested the young man, and dis
persed the mob.
