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 Morillo has sue ceeded 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 but too visible. The Duchess of Orleans died to-night, after a long and painful illness. She leaves to the Duke of Orleans two millions and a half of francs of income.  Yesterday, before mass, the King gave a private audience to the Count de la Rafitnieres, commander of the 15th military division. In the afternoon his Majesty transacted business with the Duke of Richelieu.  The army of the Germanic Confederation, according to the organization settled by the Diet, consists of 301,637 men. MADRID, JUNE 8 —The Asia, 74, sailed from Cadiz on the 31st ult. for Vera Cruz, having on board General O'Donojo, who has recently been appointed superior Political Chief of Mexico. All the militia of New Castile, of La Manchu, and Estremadura, have received orders to concentrate at Alcala de Henares, a town situated about six leaguts front Me.drid, whence, 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 term thernse'ves into a separate state, as it is their opinion that the royal government does not frankly pursue the constitutional system. _ .  Several letters which have passed between the General Empecinado and the insurgent chief Merino have been published. The latter having recently taken prisoners a detachment of the royal troops, whom he caused to be shot, the General menaces, that upon a representation of such murderJuss: 9 —The circular addressed tra the 3d 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 fiir 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 observe the laws of the state, to love these laws, and to respect established authorities,"
