Spain.
HARvAEZ ORDERED TO vIENNA-sEIZURE OF THE
HERALDo AND OTHER OPPOSITION JOURNALS.
General NarvaeZ has received orders from Madrid
to proceed to Vienna at once, under penalty Of being
regarded as a rebel
The Espana learns that Narvaez has replied to the
communication made to him by the Minister Of War
on the 18th ult that the malady to which he is con-
lence that It is at present impossible for him to
ply with the royal Injunction to proceed to Vienna
without further delay but that he will do as soon
as he finds himself sufficiently resovered.
The HedldO has been seized, as well as the Es-
pona and the opposition journals. The cause on
this occasion was as fouows-A ministerial journal
had given an erroneous version of the last represen
tatlon of General NarvaeZ; and his private secre-
tary, Senior Canseca, addressed letter to all the
journals, contradicng it, and declaring that so far
from being in i'll health he had authority to say
that General Navaez was never better in his life,
and that he would not fail to take his seat in the
Senate on the LIST Of March. 1t was for publishing
this letter that the Heraldo and Espana had their
first editions seized.
The Russian Empire.
The Paris Constitutional, ofJanuary %, publishes
the following curious article on the Russian empire,
which II credits to the Journal dc Frdnkt Of -
In IA political point of view, this year reckons an
amount OF acquisitions foreign as we'll as internal,
exceeding perhaps, everything of which the present
chic. OF the great empire has right to be proud Of
On the side of Asia the Russian frontiers have been
better protected than heretofore and the efforts at
tempted to augment commercial relations with this
part OF the world have been crowned with the great
est success. The Caucasian war has been, at the
same time narrowed to space of territory smaller
and smaller Russian policy has gained much ground
in Turkey during the latter months of 1852. A
powerful rampant has been erected on the western
side by the intimate alliance with Austria and Prus
sia-an alliance accompanied by numerous dstribu-
tons of decorations to the distinguished men of
these States-and by the grand active army extended
(echecnne on the frontiers of the west, and having
wards the heart of Germany. Notwithstanding the
sympathies of the Russians for the Hungarians and
their antpathy to Austria the devotion and respect
of the people for their Emperor have increased since
the revolutionary year of lS48.
Though Russia has conducted the last war without
q loan and with her own resources, and although
the imperial family has latterly made very expensive
travels abroad as well as in the interior of the country
nj hos not hoe
weakened The severe economy in the administration,
the increasing revenues of the gold and silver Mines
&c. counterbaance the expenses. The immense terri
tory of Siberia has been, in the same manner as the
countries Of the Caucasus and of the South east
intimately incorporated in the system of centraza-
ton, by the establishment of Siberian committee at
the seat Of government The same course has been
adopted as to the provinces Of the Baltic and Of
Poland.
In consequence of the principle of the Petersburg
autocracy tending to level the classes of society," the
were subjected, in 1852, to a recruitment. New
ways have been opened to the petty nobility of the
empire to obtain military and civil employments
Philosophy has been banished from the Russian sys
tenn OF education as dangerous to the State. The
teaching Of the Greek and Latin tongues has been
confined to the superior establishments, and to
minimum of hours. On the other hand, the middle
schools the boarding schools for mobiles, and scien-
tific establishments, have been modified and en-
larged. The defensive system of Russia has been
particularly developed in a brilliant manner. The
activity of the Geographical Society-too little con-
sdered abroad-has been considerable; it has made
known and prepared several ways of penetrating
into Central Asia. The fine arts have made some
progress under the wise direction of the late Duke of
Leuchtenberg So, also, as to national history but
the bellies ieHres have been unproductive except in
Poland
Russia has erected to the founder Of her present
greatness-to Peter the Great-a monument on the
spot where he constructed the first models of his
feet. But his finest monument is still that erected
on the banks OF the Neva, and where, mounted on
his gaoping courser, he indicates with his hand the
West as il he wished to invite his people to accom-
plish his last will 1t is everywhere known that his
glorious successor has regarded this will only under
the point OF view of an intimate alliance with the
two great German powers for the maintenance of
the European equilibrium and that he has acted
confoimably to this point OF view.
The Zollverein.
The Courier du Haure, Of the first Of February,
contains the followng:-
The German journals inform US Of fact Of much
importance both for commerce and perhaps also for
politics The custom house union, so long solicited
and SO difficult to conclude between Austria and
Prussia, was on the point of being realized The
tions have been closed and that treaty has been
concluded for twelve years. The Lloyd OF Vienna
announces, in its number Of the 25th January that
the custom house conferences have for sometime past
taken favorable turn, and that they would be ter
inmate within the week.
If this information is correct, the general commerce
of Germany will derive great advantages from this
renewal of the Lollverein. We can only congratulate
Austria and Prussia if they have succeeded in senc-
ing the political rivalries which prevented them
taking measures mutually advantageous to their ma
teria prosperity. We hail with pleasure the tendency
of nations to sodarize their commercial and indus
trial interests and hope to gradually lowered
and in wise scale, the barriers Of customs which
still separate them.
Portugal.
An internal machine was discovered by the police
on the 25th January, in an unnhabited house at Bon
Morte, in Lisbon. 1t was composed of twelve gun or
pistol barrels. The general belief is that it is a
pose of alording plea for extraordinary measures,
as there is political parsonage here at present
sufficiently obnoxious to be worth the trouble and
