Foreign.
GEN. CoRTINAs has been installed as Mayor
of Matamoras, Mexico, and the rioting is at
an end. The investigation ordered by the
English authorities into the Vile du Havre
disaster exonerates Capt. Surmont from the
charges of neglect of duty. =. A dispatch to
the Daily Telegraph, from st. Petersburg. says
the article in the treaty between Russia and
Bokhara aboishing slavery is directly due to
the exertions of Secretary Schuyler and all
the members Of the American Legation at st.
Petersburg.
SPAIN has passed through another bloodless
revolution. The Cortes, on the I'd of January.
gave majority of 20 against CASTELAR,, on two
separate votes. Gen. Pavia, q friend of
President CASTELAR,, thereupon took possession
Of the palace of the Cortes with II, 900 troops,
dissolved the CorteS much in the manner that
Oliver Cromwell dissolved the long parliament,
and called together the most distinguished
members of all parties for the purpose of
forming new government. These extreme
measures, Gen. Pavia declared, we're the only
means of saving the country. new Ministry
was Immediately formed, as follows: Presi-
dent, Serrano; Minister Of Foreign Affairs,
Sagasta; Minister of War, Zavala; Minister
of Justice, Figuerola; Minister of Agriculture,
Becerra; Minister Of Finance, Echegarray,
Minister ~ the Intorinr Garcia Ruiz, Minister
of Marine, Topete. Gen. Pavia, notwith-
standing his course is approved by the
provinces, is to be court-martialed for trea-
soI-- A famine prevails in the Russian
province of SANTANA. The English court
having proclaimed the Loeb Earn blameless
and. eulogized Capt. Robertson, the French
court, on the principle, perhaps, that one good
turn deserves another, proclaims the Vile du
Havre blameless and eulogizes Capt. Sur
mout all of which is tantamount to ali official
announcement that no one is to blame.
MADRID dispatches of the 5th inst. state

to associate with demagogues, and conscience
and honor refuse to accept a situation created
by bayonets." The besieging army at Carta-
gena has accepted the new Government. The
national militia in Madrid has been disarmed.
An armed rising in Saragossa was suppressed
after eight hours fighting. The overthrow
of the CASTELAR, Government in Spain is favor
ably received in Havana.
THE diplomatic representatives of Spain at
Paris Brussels and Lisbon have resigned.
1t is stated that the besiegers of Cartagena,
inspirited by the new order of things, re-
double their efforts to reduce the city. At the
same time, the defenders seem to have taken
fresh courage from the belief that the present
Government is unpopular ana short-lived.
They have recently made several desperate
sorties, but without effect, and have hoisted
the black flag :. Captain-G General Jovellar's
requisition for supreme powers has been
granted by the Spanish Government. The
whole of Cuba is now virtually in a state of
siege, and the Csptain-General is Dictator,
amenable to no other law than his own will.
A Madrid dispath states that CASTELAR, has
rejected the overtures of Figueras, Salmeron
and Pi y Margall asking him to cooperate
with them in organizing the Federal Republi-
cans. The health of Emperor William of
Germany continues to improve. The trouble
between CASTELAR, and Salmeron seems to have
originated in 3 difference of opinion as to the
treatment which the captured insurgents
should receive. Salmeron regards the death
penalty to be unrepublican and barbarous.
CASTELAR, thinks it absolutely necessary for the
salvation of the Republic and the restoration
of order The Cortes, most of whom are
Missionaries, sided on this question with their
presiding officer, and the result was that Cas-
telar retired from the head of affairs.
