THE SPANISH INTERVENTION
Enlistments for Spain are represented
to be going on with great activity in Eng
land, while arms. ammitions and trans
ports are provided with ali possible expe
dition. The French Government is re-
preached by the Gazette, for it's want of
corresponding activity.
The Constitutional gives details of a
conference between the Duke de Brogije
and Lord Granville, the British Minister.
on the subject Of the intervention. The
question Is said to have been considered
under three heads, viz /: financial. military
and commercial. As to the first, it 10 said
to have been agreed, taking into conside.
ration the embarrassed state Of the Span.
ish finances, that each Of the parties 10 the
qnadruple treaty shall advance the expen
ses OF its interference-En that of
arms. ammunition, and the troops raised
in that country France, Of the foreign le-
gion, and Portugal Of the auxiliary diyis.
ION. Belgium also is to be invited to as
SYST, under the guarantee Of France and
England for repayment. The debt thus
incurred by Spain to be liaudated, after
the expulsion Of Carlos, by instruments.
Ga the second point, Lord Granville is
SAID to have been urgent in advising spec
dy movements, and to have declared that
tho expedition should be ready to sail from
England by the end Of July. M. de Brog
lie promised that the foreign legion should
be IN Spain before that time, but doubts
are expressed whether some difficulty with
the northern cabinets will not create delay
ENGLAND.
The movements for Spain seem to be
the principal topic. Proposals for supply
ing arms, &c. upon liberal terms as to
price and credit, pour in upon the agent
10 profusion, and offers OF money are abun.
dant. Admiral Napier is said to have of
tered his services. Col. De Lacy Evans.
a member Of Parliament, is announced as
commander of the expedition. Volunteers
offer by hundreds, among whom are great
numbers Of officers OF all grades. The in
tended amount Of force is stated 10 be Ia
bat;aIlons ofinfantry. three of artillery and
one oil fifiemen IN all, about twelve thou.

PORTUGAL.
The belief that marriage will take
place between Donna Maria and the duke
de Nemours. seems to gain ground. A let.
ter from Lis bon, dated May %, says that
a special messenger has been despatched
to London, TO ascertain whether objections
will be raised by the English government.
The change OF ministry is said to have
caused great sensation in London it is
undoubtedly favorable to British interests.
Two divisions of 5000 men are said TO be
ordered into Spain. in fuflment of the
terms Of the quadruple treaty.
