fforzign anb Spam.—There is little variation in the Spanish news.

At Barcelona, on the 14th instant, matters remained on the whole much in the same state. The Captain-General Araoz was shut up in the citadel, and be had discharged 400 of his men who refused to act against the insurgents. Prim had been compelled to retire to Esprugas, three leagues from the city; but he was assembling troops at Gracias. The Junta had de- clared Prim a traitor to his country, and had named Ametler Captain- General. Three French vessels of war had joined the Meagre in the port of Barcelona, and had been put at the disposal of M. Lesseps, the French Consul, in order to enable him to obtain reparation for shots fired at a French boat, the crew of which persisted in taking water at a forbidden spot.

Pronunciamentos " against the Government multiplied in Catalonia.

The alarm of the Government at Madrid was not abated. The un- popularity of Narvaez had been so great since the late executions, that he had been obliged to have recourse to various expedients for insuring his personal safety ; one of which was never to sleep twice in the same place. Intelligence direct from Barcelona was suppressed; the Post- office being forbidden to distribute the journals from that town, and Government for a long while abstaining from all admission of the in- surrection. At length, on the 14th, they issued a manifesto on the sub- ject, inviting all Spaniards to support them, and await the meeting of the Cortes. The declaration is long and verbose ; but its main positions may be compressed into a few words. On entering office, the present Government conceived its task to be that of realizing the programme of the first Lopez Ministry ; and " one of the uppermost thoughts of this programme was union between all Spaniards and between all parties, placed within legal limits." Accordingly, it had "religiously fulfilled its mission of conciliation and justice it offered participation in all employments for Spaniards deserving and competent, but preponderance to no party." It argues that a Central Junta is a thing demanded only by a small and discontented party ; and that it would only be necessary under the supposition that the meeting of the Cones were to be post- poned : but instead of that irregular authority, the best means to legalize the present position of affairs was the calling of the Chambers. As to a Central Junta's having been promised to the Supreme Junta of Bar- celona by a member of the Government [Serrano], his colleagues did not participate in that engagement. The Ministers deny that they are animated by a retrograde policy : they only wish all political creeds and principles to be discussed in the Parliamentary arena. Government will "combat retrograde intentions," but will "oppose and neutralize exaggerated progress and disorganization." "Government can have no other interest than that of the nation : its members sigh after the day when they may abdicate, their authority." This manifesto is signed "J. M. Lopez, J. de Fries, F. Serrano, F. Caballero, M. M. Ayllon." The coalition of the Progresistas and the friends of Espartero had been concluded on this basis-1. The marriage of the Queen with the Make de Cadiz ; 2. The convocation of a Central Junta ; and 3. The adjustment of the marriage question and the Queen's minority at the same time. A secret society, apparently of Franquistas or partisans of Don Francisco, has been discovered. The young Queen and her sister were to have assisted on the 9th in- stant at a literary meeting in the Lyceum, for the purpose of crowning the author of the best poetical composition on the defence of Seville. Her Majesty, however, was suddenly taken ill after breakfast ; and, not being able to attend, the meeting was postponed. The malady was said to be indigestion.

PoBrimen.—The Phare de Bayonne publishes a document dated London, 24th June, and signed Antonio Riveiro Saraida, purporting to be issued by the authority of a Don Miguel and "a Centre of Direc- tion " appointed to manage his restoration, for the purpose of inform- ing the Portuguese of the basis on which that restoration is to rest. The first three are the principal points-

" Her Majesty thinks, first, that the only means of saving the nation from total ruin, and to reestablish social unity, is again to unite all Portuguese in a single family and fraternal policy ; second, that the sole basis upon which a result so desirable can be founded, is the reestablishment of the ancient, wise, and fine national constitution which was contemporaneous with the esta- blishment of the monarchy, and was a boon created, developed, and identified with it ; restoring de facto in entire vigour, as it has ever been de jure, as there is no prescription for the laws of the state, and it has not been altered in Por- tugal in the forms which could alone enfeeble it ; third, that this reestablish- ment must not, however, have for its immediate consequence the rejection of the principle of successive ameliorations and perfection in the administration, the government, the institutions, and the laws, according to the social progress of the age, but that every thing should be done with becoming prudence and according to regular forms; that is to say, that nothing should be done with- out the concurrence of the national representation, according to the constitu- tion itself, this being the only means of giving validity to such changes." Five other points are enumerated, all of a similar tendency. The Cortes, Tribunals, Councils, Corporations, and Magistrates, are to be reestablished "in the full possession and entire exercise of their rights, functions, authority, and constitutional prerogatives of which they have been despoiled • thus repairing the errors and the deception of 1820." " The banner of the restoration is to be a pledge of national reconcilia- tion and the extinction of parties." And financial reform is to be effected by "the strictest economy and by a judicious temporary par- simony."

ITALY.—There is little additional news from Italy ; but what there is denotes the existence of continued disturbance. From Bologna they write, on the 8th instant, that notwithstanding the notification of the Legate that the insurgent bands had been defeated and dispersed, armed parties had again shown themselves at Calderino, Savigno, and Vergato. It was said that the Government had offered passports to the leaders to quit the country, and an amnesty to their men ; but that those conditions had been rejected. Under the date of " Banks of the Po, September 6th," the Augsburg Gazette says-

" The malecontents disseminated in the mountains are daily increasing in numbers. They propose carrying on a guerilla war. Most of them are well armed. They are now in the narrow passes of the Apennines, in the direction of plat* and Bagni della Porretta. The Tuscan Government has despatched 200.dragoons to watch the Pontifical boundaries, and the Government of Modena is about to do the same."

At Rome, revolutionary proclamations had been distributed among the people.

Letters from Naples of the 9th state, that on the previous day the gte of the Madonne di Piedigrotta was celebrated. " There were no disturbances ; but the Government arrested several persons, in fear of a movement. It was said at Naples that the guerillas had shown themselves in the Abruzzi, and that four battalions were about to be sent into that province."

FRANCE.—The Gazelle des Tribunaux announces that several arrests for political causes had been made in Paris on Friday and Saturday last- " For some time, the police were aware that a society had been organized for the purpose of plunder, and that they were about to put their criminal projects into execution. During the night of Friday, the principal members of this association were arrested at a wine-shop in the Rue Pastorel, and in other quarters of Paris. The individuals arrested are about twenty in number ; and on a search made at their places of residence, a quantity of seditious pamphlets, arms, cartridges, and gunpowder, was discovered. All these individuals belong to the operative classes, and most of them are destitute of the means of sub- sistence : they had refused for some time past to labour for their bread, a fact explained by the principles of Communism which they profess. Notwithstand- ing the secrecy they observed, the authorities traced them, and at once seized all the elements of this miserable conspiracy."

The Memorial Bordelais of the 15th instant reports a meeting of wine-growers held at Bordeaux on the 14th, at the Theatre of the Cir- cus. It was composed of 500 or 600 delegates. M. De Perier de Gar- san presided. M. Hubert Delisle, who had been appointed to examine the question of customs'-duties with reference to the interests of the wine-growers, read a report, in which he advocated the principles of free trade. He deplored that rival interests, encouraged by almost unlimited protection, had successfully opposed the conclusion of a treaty of commerce with England, Belgium, Germany, and the Brazils. He was opposed by a delegate from the department of Puy de Dome, who disapproved of the paragraph in the report relative to the absolute freedom of commerce. M. Dezeimeris thought that the delegates should confine themselves to demand a reduction of the home duties. A treaty with England appeared to him prejudicial : he founded his argument on the treaty of 1786 ; and he considered that if a similar treaty were now concluded, nineteen-twentieths of the French manufac- turers would be ruined, and that those employed in manufactures would consequently be unable to consume the 18,000,000 hectolitres of wine now disposed of. An amendment rejecting the disputed passage was carried.

M. Steyert, formerly secretary of the Duke of Orleans, has been ap- pointed Royal Commissioner at Tahiti.

Letters from Tunis of the 10th instant announce the satisfactory adjustment of a difference between France and Morocco; the French Consul having obtained full compensation for injuries of which French subjects complained.

Weasew.—The Augsburg Gazette of the 15th instant states, that above 300 persona had been arrested at Warsaw, accused of having formed part of a society composed of above 3,000 persons, whose object was to effect a revolution in Poland.

SOUTH Artum—Lieutenant Christopher, of the Indian Navy, who was despatched from Aden by Captain Haines to survey the coast of Africa, has succeeded in discovering a splendid river to the North- ward of the river Jub, which he entered and traced for 130 miles. As he advanced, he found it increase in width and depth ; and according to the report of the natives, a civil and obliging race, it continued to do so for the next 400 miles. The river is described to be from 200 to 300 feet wide, and 60 feet deep; a clear meandering stream, with banks in a high state of cultivation, yielding all kinds of grain, which are abundant and cheap. Mr. Christopher named his discovery the " Haines River."

WEST INDIES.—The mail-steamer Dee, which left St. Thomas's on the 31st August, arrived at Falmouth on Monday, with advices from Jamaica to the 23d. The accounts were generally favourable as to weather and produce. The ordinances with which the Governor of British Guiana had prevented the importation of goods duty-free, during the abeyance of the local import-duties act, had saved 50,000 dollars to the revenue ; but their legality was becoming matter of dispute, and a protest against them had been entered in the Court of Policy.

The Dee brings intelligence of the 25th August from Hayti ; which was in a state of commotion, in consequence of a warfare between the Mulattoes and the Negroes; the Negroes at Aux Cayes having been driven to the woods. But the Blacks were increasing in numbers, and there were serious apprehensions as to the ultimate result.

The Ex-Presideut Boyer was a passenger from Jamaica ; on his way, it is understood, to France, for the benefit of his health.
