Paris and the neighborhood have been visited with
a whirlwind, which did great damage. AT village
near Rouen however, il was more disastrous, Tor II
swept away several large manufactures and houses

rarely happened. ,

SPAIN
The intelligence from this distracted and ill-gov-
erned country would hardly be complete without
the account of some new outbreak. A letter from
Madrid Of the 18th ult. says:
"The Minister of Finance having refused to accede
to the wishes Of the merchants Of Madrid, who had
demanded some modification in the new tributary
system, great agitation ensued; numerous groups
assembled in the streets and public squares; all the
shops were Immediately closed, and the authorities
were obliged call out the troops of the garrison.
Several charges of cavalry and discharge of musk
ery had been necessary to dispense the crowd. Two
persons were said to have been killed, and two Off
GERS and sergeant had been dangerously wounded.
The political chief published most energetic pro-
camation, and ordered the shops to be re-opened
under the severest penalties Several shop-keepers
who dsobeyed the order had been arrested"
This disturbed state of things continued, though
with less violence down to the latest advices The
London Chronicle says:
"By accounts from Madrid, of the 26ih ult, it APP
pears that the provinces have not yet followed the
movement of the capital in opposition to the new
taxes. The excitement is, however, everywhere
great, and it is only the expectation of modifca-
ton Of M. Mons measure, that keeps the larger
towns quiet In the mean time, the Heraldo and
other Moderado papers in Madrid are laboring hard
to obtain change in the ministry; but unhappily
the object Of these papers is not very pure in ITSELF
particularly well calculated to advance the better
administration of affairs"

The new religion is continuing its career with al
ternats successes and defeats. At Halberstadt,
Ronge, the leader of the movement, was nearly as
sassinated when preaching violent sermon against
Rome; but at other places he has had greater sue

business is assuming; and has accordingly given or
ders that the preachers of the faith shall not DO
