LATER FROM SPAIN.
Bv the ship EMPRESS we have received Malaga
papers to the 9th OF February.
We findno mention of the second instruction
al Malaau, reported by n late arrival, from which
we infer either that no such movement has taken
place, or that it speedily put down.
On the 5,h, were celebrated at Malaga the fun
eral ohsf gries of those who fell in defence of BIZ
boa, aud in raising the scige.
Similar ebservances were to take pace on the
sane throughout the nation, BY order Of the Queen

MALAGA, Feb They write from Bilhoa, that
so great the supply of provisions which had
arrived there, that some vessels had left without

1t is said that the CaIlist General, Cabrera, has

The insuryen, General Ituralde, who was made

ECONOMY.
| The amount ofnppropriatons recommended by
the Royalist Committees in Congress for the pre-
sent year, was upwards of thirty millions of dol
lars independently OF this, there were bills in
troduced, which swrlled the amount up To thirty
five millions. The amount of unrSpended balances
in the Treasury the LIST OF January last, was
fourteen millions of dollars. Besides this, there
was in the hands of discussing officers at the
at the same time, at least six millions more
perhaps len millions. The account may, there
fur, be put down.as fellows:
General appropriations S3O,Oe0,OO0
Other hills 5,0O0,U0
uncxpcndcd balances l4,000,000
In hands Of discussing officers 6,O00,000
S55,0UD,00O
Fifty-fvye millions of dollars TO be expanded in
one year under the dynasty of those who, when
they were seeking power, denounced their prcde-
GU lty Of eXtravagance because they had
expended about Sl3,0J0,000! These The men
WHO came into power with reform on their lips,
but hypocrisy in their hearts. These are the men
whN, at the very moment they were recommending
these tremendous appropriations, were talking
yes, talking about reducing the revenues! Is ii
possible that the people lie 81 blind as not to
see the gross deception which is played off upon
them! Can any man believe that party support
ing sucn system OIL proiuSc eNtraVhgance, can
seriously contemplate reduction Of the revenues?
During the administration Of Mir. Adams the
annual expenses OF the Government, exclusive OF
The payments on account OF the national debt, lid
not, during the term of four years, amount to tr-
teen millions per annuni. And yet the Admins
tra'ion was denounced most bitterly as being
,only extrayagan,; and Mr.. William Cabcll Rivos,
1--WE give him his whole name, as he has lost ali
hcsidcs which Il virtu"us man would pIlZr) III the
famous reircnchment report, maintained that ten
millions were amply sufficient for economical
Adm nStraton OF the Government. Since that
time General jackson has run up the annual ex-
penditures to the present enormous omounf,-and
the party that sustained him, aud declared that
Sl3,OU0,000 was rytrnvagnnce, will now as stoull
the difference between men ont II power, and the
same men IN powcr Is there not much reason
for every patriot to cry aloud for reform RE
