JUNE 16.—Every day we receive news from Spain, and every day brings us frightful proofs that a revolution as bloody as ours has begun. The most complete anarchy reigns in all the provinces; and this state of things does not affect the government, which proceeds in its ordinary course, amusing itself in making fine laws and founding fine institutions, whilst on all sides the principles of government are entirely disregarded. The King remains still in the same exterior situation. General Morino has succeeded by his courage and firmness in procuring for himself all due homage and respect. His Majesty still continues to protest his attachment to the constitution, while the patriots on the other hand, declare their knowledge of his Majesty's hatred to it. It is probable that the Cortes will be assembled in an extraordinary Congress. On the 2d instant the majority of the King's courtiers unceasingly beset his Majesty from sunset to midnight, interceding for pardon for one of the officers of the guard who was condemned to death for rebellion, and was to be executed next morning. His Majesty remained inflexibly bent on the execution of the law, though his emotion was bat too visible.  The Duchess of Orleans died to-night, after a long and painful illness. She leaves to the Duke of Orleans tw•o millions and a half of francs of income.  Yesterday, before mass, the King gave a private audience to the Count de la Rafimieres, commander of the 15th military division. In the afternoon his Majesty transacted business wiai the Duke of Richelieu.  The army of the Germanic Confederation, according to the organization settled by the Diet, consists of 901,637 men.

All the militia of New Castile, of La Mancha, and Estreinadura, have received orders to concentrate at Alcala de [tenures, a town situated about six leugut.s from Madrid, hence, it is asserted. they will march into Valencia, Arragon, and Catalonia. This measure is attributed to the disquietude entertained by the government as to the dis. position of those provinces. It is affirmed that they have in view to form thems&ves into a separate state, as it is their opinion that the royal government dues nut frankly pursue the constitutional system. . .  Several letters which have passed between the General Erupecinado and the insurgent chief Merino have been published. The latter having recently taken prisoners a detachment of the royal troops, whom lie caused to be shot, the General menaces, that upon a representation of such murderous gets, he will cause the wives, children, parents, and those composing this band to be sacrificed. JUNE 9 —The circular addressed on the 31 May, by the minister of justice, to the right reverend the archbishops, bishops, and ecclesiastical prelates, secular and regular, of the kingdom, has produced its effect. The heads of the church publish every where directions, pastoral letters, and exhortations to the faithful, to induce them to observe the constitution and to obey the authorities. The bishop of Malaga was remarked for his frankness. He terminated his exhortation in the following manner, addressing the priests of his diocese :—" In public as well as in private endeavour to persuade every one that it is his duty to tbe lags of the  I.s.
