The following important letter. dated Madrid 7lh
u has reached US, by express, from our correspon-
dent AT Madrid -
The King of the French's grand project, the mar
rage of his youngest with the lnfanta OF Spain,
is in danger of being wrecked when full IN view OF
the port of Barcelona, the British government hav-
ing, within the last few days. formally announced TO
those of France and Spain It's opposition 10 such an
alliance II very properly will not abide by what
passed IN private bstween Queen Victoria and King
Louis Philippe, during her Maestys last visit 10 the
Chateau of En have the above news from an au-
thenc source, and future events will prove II to be
correct. If the Duke de Montpensier marrles the
heir presumpve 10 the Spanish Throne, il will be
NJ st arms, and against the will Of the Cabinets of
Russia, Austria, Prussia Portugal and Great Britain.
The French party, which now includes Narvaez. Is,
hear, in consequence highly irrltated against the
hereto government" as II is the fashion here TO
term Sir r Peel and his colleagues; nevertheless,
il seems the latter quite Catholic In their onrosl-
lion Ia the above marriage.
We find very strange piece of intelligence pub
lished IN the Emancipation, a Toulouse ultra liberal
print 1t states that the young Queen OF Spain is al
ready married to the son OF Don Carlos; that the
marriage has secretly taken place by proxy.
In short, the Emancipation believes lis news well
founded and hesaies not TO lay II before It's rea-
ders.
Belgium.
The intelligence from Brussels is to the 10Th ut.
When the maady OF potatoes first became known
orders for large quantities were sent to the United
States. Some have already arrived, but they so
bad, from the effects ofthe voyage, that the or
ders have been countermanded
Nonews Is stlrring Several c0mmls sloners have
been appointed to find labor for the poor and other
wise to provide against the consequences apprehend-
ed from the failure OF the potato crop.
A company, consisting of Belgian, French, and
English capitalists, Is said to have been formed, In
conjunction with the Minister OF Foreign Affairs OF
Nicaragua, TO make canal to unite the Pacific aud
Atlantic oceans. As the Lake OF Nicaragua, and a
navgable river, are on the proposed line OF canal,
the expense is estimated only at the very moderate
sum of fifty million francs, or f2,OOO,OOO British
money.
Italy.
The accounts from Rome are to the 9th ult.
AS you have already learned the Papal domlnlons
have been troubled with an attempt at nsurrection
at Rimini. Incited by political refugees, who
had clandestlnely returned, and some foreigners,
chiefly Poles. rising of the people was effected,
and they gained, and for a time maintained the up
per hand But their triumph was not of long dura-
uon. The authorities acted with great firmness and
decision, and the insurgents were soon overpower-
ed Many OF them are now in prison.
spirit is abroad among the people, which will
sooner or later, compel the Papal Government to
accord them that political liberty to which they
entitled but at present the Government is too
strong tor the people Even if it were not, it would
be supported by the overwhelming force which
Austria would not hesitate to employ to secure the
tranquility of her own Italian domlnions But,
repeat, that the day will come when Italy will be
free 1t may, however, be demanded, whether
such ill-advised attempts, as that which has just
failed, are rather calculated to retard than to ad-
vance it. The cause OF the Italians possesses the
sympathes OF every enlightened country in Europe;
but, to be successful II must be managed prudenty,
wisely ,and well which certainly it has not yet been.
Switzerland.
We have received accounts from Geneva to the
10th ult.
No events have occurred of late calculated to
interest the foreign reader. Some stupid bockheads
al Zurich have proposed to do away with the liberty
to trade in the country, which foreigners have hi
therto enjoyed, as in every other country Such
proposition would have been secuted in the most
backward state in Europe, but in republic like
ours, 1t Is not only stupid but disgraceful.
The war between the Jesuits and the Radicals
continues as intense ever but luckily, instead
OF being carried on with swords, and pistols, and
stout sticks, II Is fought out In the newspapers. The
consequence Is, that 1t does not do much harm.
Accounts from Lucerne state that two captains in
the army OF that canton, named Barth and Ulmi,
have been sentenced to death for the part they took
against the Government in the late rebellion but it
Is supposed that the Grand Council will spare their
lives.
NAVAL PREpARATIoNs.-Th accounts from all the
naval arsenas OF the kingdom agree in stating that
unusual activity prevails at present in the fitting
ot vessels Of war of every description, and we have
heard within the last few days that psremptory
tice has been sent round by the Lords of the Ad mi
ralty to the different manufacturers of steamboat
machinery who are working for the government, in
forming them that the machines which they have in
hand for government must be ready at the precise
time liked, and that II they not, the full penal.
ties tor the breach OF contract will be enforced
against them. This activity IN preparing the means
for defensive warfare is accompanied with equal ac-

so as to render them safe against any sudden attack
Coupling all these circumstances with the sudden
movements OF the squadron in the Pacific Ocean
and the Indian Seas, 1t is difficult to resist the con-
cusion that the government considers war poss-
bic event. and that 1t placing itself in position to
meet any difficulties which may arise on either side
OF the tlc.-Lire,pooi Times.
Germany.
We have advices from Berlin to October 9.-The
Zollverein has separated without coming to any de-
clsion whatever on the question of an increase of
dunes, and consequently the present duties remain
unaltered No one foresaw this termination OF the
debates, and the surprise 1t has occasioned is ex-
ceedingly great The southern States demanded
the increase, but Prussia refused thereto and de-
clson could be obtained. Great honor is due to
Prussia tor Its firmness In the matter. II was
rnenaced by desertlon by many OF the states of which
II Is the protector, but 1t would not give in. The
decision OF the Zolvereln to separate without de-
cison Will be advantageous to American commerce
generally, and especially to American cotton The
United States might, however, have secured admis-
sion tor their articles at the present. or even lower
duies, had the decision of the Zolveren been other
wise, supposng they would have given exclusive
advantages to the products Of the Zollverein But
the States woald not bind themselves to anything of
the kind. We certainly did not calculate that
Prussia would have acted so enlightened, or the
Zolvereln 80 sensible part, to refuse to block
out the commerce OF most nations
Tne new ieliglon continues to excite attention.
lhe Ming has had a squabbe with the municipal
authorities about it. They lectured him. and he
lectured them, and each was highly dissatisfied
with the other.
Nothing new has been said about the constitution.
From the neighboring kingdoms and states there is
no news OF importance. Saxony is still in state of
agitation.
According to letter from Berlin, of the 7,h. the
Prusslan government had nearly completed the or
gan AVIATION OF conslstory on the religious disputes
IN Germany, and had placed at the head Of Il M.
Betl'man Howeg, an orthodox Protestant. M.
Suethage, one OF the councillors of the consstory,
"ad received Instructions TO proceed on a mission
to The northern courts, 10 concert with them the
measures to be adopted. We learn from Knnipsberp
hat the municipality Of that place has expressed its
approval OF the address presented TO the King of
Prussia by the municipality OF Berlin in favor OF re-
