SPAIN.—The intelligence from Spain is still favourable to the new order of things ; but the most startling piece of news is the bombard- ment of Seville by Espartero! He began it on the 21st, when a suburb is said to have been nearly destroyed ; it ceased on the 23d, the autho- rities then beginning to waver. The besieging army was seven or eight thousand strong ; the garrison very weak. General Concha was in that part of the country ; but he had only 3,000 men. The pro- visional Government at Madrid had sent to reinforce hint.

Zurbano had left Madrid to join Espartero. Before his departure, he is said to have visited Mr. Aston, and to have been the bearer of a re- commendation that the Regent should abdicate. Saragossa recognized the new Government as soon as it was made acquainted with the fact that Narvaez had entered Madrid.

Van Haien was waiting on the Cadiz road, to keep open the path of Espartero.

The Journal des Debats states, that a reaction against the Moderado party took place at Barcelona on the 25th July : all the officers of the riational Guard reelected were Exaltados.

Madrid was tranquil on the 29th. The Municipality had been re- constructed with new members entertaining the dominant opinions. The whole of the Revolutionary troops entered the city on the 23d and 24th, and defiled before the Palace.

The Lopez Ministry had been fully reconstituted; S. Olozaga re- suming his place at the head of the fiscal department. And the Revo- lutionary leaders had got places : Narvaez had been appointed Lien-

tenant-General, Captain General of Madrid, and General-in-Chief of all the troops in the capital ; Prim, Count de Ross and Governor of Madrid; Quint°, Political Chief; the Duke de Baylen Commandant of the Halberdiers ; Aspiroz, Lieutenant-General and General-in- Chief of the First Corps of Operation ; and Cortinez, Inspector-Ge- neral of the National Guards.

" Bud 4140 Ae"' he also announces the immediate convocation of the Cones. He does not explain whether it will be the old or a new Cortes.

After some doubt, the Duke de Baylen had been appointed Guardian of the Queen- " The Duke de Baylen," says the Journal des Daats, "is, without contra- diction, the most considerable personage in Spain. He was President of the Council of Regency for the Queen-Mother, instituted by the will of Ferdinand the Seventh ; and, according to the conditions of that will, the Council of Regency was, in default of Queen Christina, to succeed to her in the Regency, and in the guardianship of the Queen minor."

Some interesting particulars are told of the decisive encounter. Seoane and Zurbano, it seems, were defeated by deceit-

" When Generals Seoane and Zurbano brought their men to the charge," says the Madrid correspondent of the Times, " against the forces of Narvaez, only a few shots were fired ; for while the former shouted • Viva Isabel Se- cunda! " Viva la Constitucion !" Viva el Regente!' their opponents, in- structed by Narvaez and Aspiroz, responded with similar tikes. The loyal troops, taken by surprise' threw down their muskets and embraced their deceit- ful foes, imagining at the instant that they were sincere ; but the trick wr.a soon discovered, for a movement was made to seize the loyal Generals. Seoane, shocked at the result, was seized with an epileptic fit, and fell from his horse. (He has since had some returns of the attack, and is seriously ill.) Zurbano, who had his wits more about him, perceived the treachery, and galloped away, attended by only five of his escort, and pursued by the cavalry of Narvaez; who himself rode in triumph through the lines, exclaiming to the soldiers that this was a day of reconciliation, and that they should have their/kende absoluta!— (free permission to leave the service and return home)—a boon heartily desired by the majority of Spanish conscripts, especially young ones like those he ad- dressed. This concession, it appears, was conclusive in his favour, and left him completely master of the field.

PORTUGAL.—Advices from Lisbon to the 24th July announce that the Queen was delivered of a daughter on the 21st; her fourth child, but first daughter. The infant is already assigned, by the gossip of Lisbon, to the Count of Paris for a bride. The heir-apparent to the French throne is three years old.

FRANCE.—The bustle at Queen Christina's Paris mansion, the Hotel de Courcelles, does not cease. Several conferences have been held during the week, at which not only the Queen's Spanish friends, but the Aus- trian, Prussian, and Russian Ministers, and even M. Guizot himself, are said to have assisted. The result of these conferences had not transpired, but it is believed that the Northern Courts will strenuously oppose the marriage of the young Queen of Spain with a French Prince, The Marriage Act of the Prince de Joinville with the Princess of the Brazils was signed on Monday, in the Palace of Neuilly, in presence of the Royal Family, Marshal Soult, M. Guizot, the Minister of the Brazils, Baron Pasquier, (Chancellor of France,) and the Duke de Cazes, (Grand Referendary of the Chamber of Peers.) We learn from the Journal des Debats that the Princess brought her husband, as dower, 1,000,000 francs in specie, a revenue of 200,000 francs, twenty-five leagues of territory in the province of Santa Catarina at the choice of the Prince, with jewels to the amount of 200,000 francs, and a present from the Emperor of the Brazils of 300,000 francs for her outfit. She is to succeed to the throne of the Brazils, should the Emperor Don Pedro the Second, and the Princess Januaria, the presumptive heiress to the Crown, die without issue.

The Prince had been promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral. The anniversary of the Revolution of 1830 was little marked, although kept as a holy day on the Bourse. The Paris papers, indeed, contain very little reference to the Three Days, the subject having lost interest with all classes of the community.

A rumour prevailed in Paris on Tuesday, that there was to be an attack on Tunis, by a Turkish squadron of nine ships of war, which were seen off Cape Gaites on the 18th, by a French steamer. The Maritime Prefect had been directed to send the Jemappes and Alger, line of battle of to Tunis without delay. The alarm, however, abated on Wednesday.

INDIA.—The overland mail brings intelligence from Bombay to the 19th June. It is, upon the whole, pacific ; even the news from Scinde, down to the 31st May, being so. Shere Mahomed, the obstinate Ameer, had come to terms ; his army at Sukkurind having dispersed. Sir Charles Napier had consented to give him up his treasure and zenana, on condition that he left Scinde for ever. Shere Mahomed is reported to have said, on the dispersion of his army, that ere long he would bring a force into the field that would astonish the British. Meer Murad Ali, the ally of the British, had brought into the camp at Hyderabad several hostile chiefs ; but as it appeared that they had been captured by fraudu- lent means, they were at once released. There had been a great deal of sickness among the troops, and Sir Charles had suffered from fever; but he was recovering. It is said that he had applied to be relieve from the government of the newly-conquered province. Captain Thomas, of the Sixty-fourth lslative Infantry, had been nego- tiating very successfully with the Rajah of Bhawulpore for certain ob- jects connected with the opening of the Indus "to all nations." He had obtained a reduction, to the extent of one-half, of the transit-duties on boats proceeding up and down the Sutlej, within the Rajah's territories ; a considerable reduction of the duties on merchandise, now fixed at one rupee per camel-load ; and the opening of the Sirsa road, "which will unite Mooltan and Bhawulpore, and the North-west generally, with Delhi and Hindostan."

The officers of the army at Hyderabad had made a solemn protest against the allegations of the Bombay Times ; which paper had accused them of dishonouring the zenana of certain captive Atneers. Sir Charles Napier concurred in the protest.

boat Mohammed had left Peshawar on the 5th April, had joined . Akhbar Khan at Jellalabad, and they both proceeded to Cabal ; where . the boat assumed the command. The Nawdb Zemin Khin had fled, and Kohistan had risen in his favour. It appears that Shah Zemin, Futteh Jung, and Shah Poor—all three for a brief period rulers at Ca-

" bul—together with ortief hfdongiug to the Suddozye family, were living at Lahore, under the protection of Shere Q".". and supported by

Whether Bundelcund was tranquil or not, was a disputed point.

Lord Ellenborough left Agra on the 30th May, for Cawnpore and A l- lahabad, on his way to Calcutta. Rumour asserts that strict orders had arrived from home ordering him to join his Council. Before his de- parture from Agra, he named Mr. Clark Governor of the North-western • Provinces. That gentleman was latterly Envoy at the Court of Lahore, . which office has been abolished. An order of three additional lacs of rupees for the Ganges canal had been revoked, and the expenditure reduced to the former amount—two lees; in consequence, it is assumed, of the Scinde war. But some mea- sures of practical improvement had been effected by Lord Ellen- borough : one was the appointment of Deputy-Magistrates all over the Bengal provinces ; another required the Judges of Courts, whether Eu- ropean or Native, to write their decrees, with the reasons for each. A letter from Hong-kong, of the 6th April, mentions that Lord Saltoun had met with a very serious accident in having been thrown from his horse over the face of the hill on which his house stands. He bad several ribs broken, and sustained other severe injury.—Overland Cal- cutta Star.

CHINA.—The dates mentioned are the 16th April from Macao, and

the 7th March from Hong-kong: the latter seems to be a mistake for the 7th May. Sir Henry Pottinger had been ill, but was recovering. Negotiations were still suspended. Ke Ying, who was expected to be appointed successor to Elepoo, had not arrived at Canton, nor had any- thing been heard of his movements. Keshen had been partially re- stored to favour, and sent in some official capacity to Yarkand, in Tartary. Trade was dull ; but it is said that the Americans were active in smuggling, and that Sir Henry Pottinger had vainly endeavoured to stop the practice. The British were not much more regular : a letter from Hong-kong, dated March (May 7) 7th, represents business as most active to the North : there were seven ships in the Yang-tze-kiang, selling openly, at Wousung, opium and British goods. They had been warned off by the authorities ; but having persisted, they were allowed to continue their sales.
