LATE AND INTERESTING FROM SPAIN
The ship CASTOR, Capt. Anthony, arrived this
morning from Gibraltar, whence she sailed on the
10th Of October, the day which had been e xed upon
for the marriage Of the Duke de Monpensier, son OF
Louis Philippe, TO the lnfanta Of Spain.
On that day, heavy firing was heard at Gibraltar
in the direction Of Ageciras. TWAS in honor Of the
marriage which took place at Madrid on that day
noon.
There was great excitement among the English
residents at Gibraltar and great deal Of bad feel
ing expressed against the French. IL was expected
that declaration Of war would follow as soon as
the marriage, took place. "A mistake, we guess
EproRs
The British squadron which sailed on the 9th was
bound TO Cadiz TO take on board the British minis
ter, who had lefl Madrid.
IL was currently reported that the French feet was
expected daily off Gibraltar
The above date is half month later than our pre-
vious advices from Spain, aud six days later than
our latest dates from England. The news by the
last steamer prepared US TO expect the important
event above announced. A paragraph which we
then published is AS follows:
Pans, September 2S.-Public attention is fixed
on the marriage between the Duo de Montpcnsier
and the Princess Louisa of Spain, and the conse-
quences arising therefrom, to the exclusion of all
other subjects The interest this affair has created
has been Intense and Is still by means subaded.
The newspapers have been filed with it; the Bourse
has been convulsed by it, the conversation OF every
circle has been about it.
This morning, the Due de Montpensier, accom-
panied by his brother, the Due d'Aumale, and a
very heavy suite, set out for Madrid. He will ar
rive there on the 5th Of next month, and the mar
riage will take place on the 10Th. He takes with
him presents of immense value.
Dispatches have been sent TO the Prince de join
vile to make all sail to the eastern coast of Spain
with his squadron, in order to prevent by active
veillance the landing of the Compile de Montemolin
and the other Carlist chiefs.

THE DAILY UNION
FROM MEXICO.

The Franco American Of November 4lh has a
letter from the city Of Mexico, dated September
9Th, OF which the following ~ translation. The
writer is French merchant reading there;
"rhe existing war, probably, has not paralyzed
in the United States either expectation or imporla-
tons, or the ordinary movement Of business ia the
Interior you have scarcely experienced, | suppose,
a temporary embarrassment But here the evil is
great is terrible; the blockade Of all the ports by
the American naval forces, in cutting off all eommu-
nication with the European markets, has illegally
brought death upon all the commercial and indus
trial interests of this country The usual assort-
ment of articles for daily consumption is in rapid
progress Of exhaustion; the amount OF transactions
is reduced one-hal and yet strange 10 say, unlike
what generally happens in such cases, prices have
fallen considerably. This is one of the frequent
anomalies Of the country, IN which we have learn
ed To be surprised al nothing. +.
"The internal discussions are more furious than
ever. Civil war is fermentng on every side yio-
lent and fnghtful anarchy must soon follow the in
cessant conflict of opinions and parties, which all
have tendencies subyersye OF political and social
order Of the most wholesome laws that protect
the welfare Of humanity. Robbery and murder
stalk abroad, and we have reached point where
there is no safeguard for person or property, ex-
cept the use Of defensive weapons, without which
we dare not stir step.
',The government ITSELF TO which we ought to look
for protection and assistance Is SO unprlncped and
shameless as TO threaten extortion OF money, by
force, from those who refuse TO comply with lis ex
actions.
''The two hostile armies must, before this time,
have come in conflict on the frontier Of Texas All
those who desire TO remain in the possession and
enjoyment Of what they have toiled to gain are
earnestly DESTROYS for the re-estabishmen of order,
and put up secret prayers for the success of the
Americans and their arrival at the capital or for the
Intervention of European powers.
Meanwhile, until one or the other of these events
takes place, the disorders great and the laws
completely trodden under foot, that we are in
momentary dread Of some popular outbreak, for de-
fence against which we have no reliance but our
selves

The rate of bills is now near 3 per cent under

bills will tap the mass ofbuon in the English bank,
and probably produce agreat influx Of the precious

THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER.

THE NATIONAL INTELLlGENCER.
Some "sap-headedr writer in the New Orleans
Tropic, has been trying to whitewash this abomi-
nabe anti American paper, (whose course for the
last few years has been blot upon our country g
hisory,) by recounting its patriotic course during
the war Of 1912, when It boldly exposed the out
rageous conduct Of the British government, which
caused every American heart to beat in proud uni
son with its columns, and caused us to rejoice that
we had a press so ably conducted, even by an Eng
lishman. Then this paper was the ardent advocate
of the democratic republican party. But what is it
now but the trucking npologist of its country IS
enehliesi Truly British on the Oregon question, and
basey devoted to Mexican outragcs in time of
war yet it is claimed be the organ Of the ,ohig
party in these United States, doing It's best to induce
its ignorant and wicked partsans to believe that it
is a whg of the old school Out with such dis
graceful lmpudence. Benedict Arnold was once in
nocent, brave, and patriotic, and fought like hero
before the walls Of Quebec; but he fell like Lucifer!
And where stands this paper now Just as far from
the National Inteligencer Of 1919, as the rich man
Of the Scriptures was from Lazarus after he got
into Abraham's bosom, with an impossible gulf
between them. When this Tropical writer again
takes up his brush, let him honestly draw the con-
trast between them, and give us sketch of the cor.
rupt Mexican government, which Santa ANN him
self says has not for years reflected the will OF the
nation, but whose acts bave robbed the citizens OF
the United States and oppressed their own citizens,
through corrupt and bgoted, as well as intoerant
---, (my pen will not name them.) Our white
washer ought to remember that ever since the days
Of 'Walpole," (England's prime MINISTRY who
said that ''every man had his price" that whenever
commoner Of extraordinary talent appeared in
Parliament in the opposition ranks, he was soon
bought up or sienced by money or titles. But the
National ntelligencern could not be seduced IN this
way. 1t has been too patriotic in days Of gore 70
think that it could DO now drawn from the path Of
duty. We solemnly protest against this thought
was once worth effort to secure its aid and in
huenee with powerful party, but it is now so low
IN the estimation Of the real 'ohig party, that the
Stgs may have il for nothing. MADISON.

THE GALE in THE WEST INDIES.

THE GALE IN THE WEST INDIES.
The schooner Isabella Captain Roby, arrived at
Charleston, on Saturday last, in eight days from
Havana, via Matanzas The Charleston Courier
has been favored with the following extracts of let
ters giving some additional particulars of the de-
struction caused by the gale of the lth ult at Ha
vana and Sagua la Grande:
"BAsAsA, Oct. Is, 1876.
81 have never seen anything to equal the gale of
the morning Of the llth. 1t was perfect hurricane,
houses were blown down in the city and its ervi-
rons; families buried under their ruins In the Reg
Ia on the other side of the harbor, family of clev-
en- whites, besides a number Of colored persons,
were killed by the falling Of the dwelling, and
thousand other disasters have occurred, which are
in daily progress of being published. 1t was truly
melancholy sight TO witness the disasters in the
harbor after the gale do not believe that there are
three vessels uninured in port. The French vessels
of war, are, may say, more distressed-a frigate
steamer and coryette-he corvette Ia sunk, the frg
ate has lost all her mass, and the steamer is very
much damaged. The steam packets running between
here and Matanzas are sunk The Spanish YES
sells of war are sunk The merchant vessels are liter
ally piled upon each other all along the wharves /
repeat, that there is scarcely vessel in port that
will get to again. They will not be able to find
materials to repair with. | told that two masts
that were cut away to save ship, have been sold
for thousand dollars to another ship. | also
learn u ut the gale at Gunes was very severe, many
estates being almost totally destroyed. On one
estate, eghty-four negroes were killed by the fall
ing of one Of the houses, in which they had taken
refuge"
We are also in possession of Havana papers to
the 10th ut., received via Savannah. The Faro In
dustrial of the 10th says:
1--WE have seen letter from Mexico, received by
a commercial house of this city by the English
packet, dated September &c. stating that within three
days new tariff would be published, by which the
prohibition Of foreign goods will be revoked, and
the duties on importation generally reduced to fifty
per cent. less than by the tariff now in force.

left the city of Mexico on the 18th Of September for
the seat of war, at the head Of 900 men,

The National Intelligencer rejoices over the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Cabc from Florida, without any great
federal politics. and Mr.. Cabell is committed against
protective tariff by hundred declarations. Near
ly all the people Of Florida are of one opinion on
that subject. II is convenient to have two parties,
in order that the politicians may fight their personal
battles under specous banner, and that is the
reason why there are wings and democrats in Flor
