EUROPE.

SPAIN. The intelligence received from this country since our last consists of little else than accounts of plots and conspiracies, which are hatching amongst all ranks, and in every part of the kingdom; and if we can give full credit to the accounts received, unconstitutional factions and clubs, supported by the populace, have begun to usurp the authority that properly belongs to the executive. In these clubs, it is said, that they openly profess their wish for a republic. This cry, which was begun in the provinces, under the auspices of Riego, has been echoed by the capital, and in this tempest of irritated factions, the constitution recently established is in danger of being overthrown.

According to an account in the Uni versal, a Madrid paper, of the 5th ult., General Riego has been induced to countenance an insane project of some French refugees to attempt a revolutionary movement in France. The names of these emigrants are Husson and Montarlot. In the lodgings of the latter at Saragossa a ridiculous proclamation was found; also some pretended patriotic songs to be sung by the regenerated French army! Montarlot has been arrested and conducted to Jaca. Husson appears to have escaped for the present. General Vaudoncourt, a French military officer of considerable talents, who has lately quitted the Piedmontese service, has been arrested at Valencia, as an accomplice of Montarlot. Other Piedmontese officers (refugees) at Barcelona, betrayed a very hostile disposition when they heard of the measures taken against Riego. Orders were dispatched to arrest them.

General Riego, who was lately appointed Captain-general of Arragon, has, in consequence of orders from Madrid, been banished to Lerida. At first he resisted the mandate, and presented himself at the gates of Saragossa with a band of armed men; but the garrison refused him entrance, and he was at last induced to retire. He addressed a proclamation to "the brave soldiers and patriots of the army of Arragon," dated Pina, September 3, in which he exclaims against the irregular manner in which he has been dismissed from the military command of the province, a step which, he considers, has been provoked by atrocious calumnies, and solemnly

VOL. IX.

vows his unshaken devotion to the constitutional cause. The club at the Fontana d'Oro, in Madrid, takes his part, and declares the conspiracy is among the king's family.

The patriotic societies established in Spain have decided, that all titles should be abolished in their meetings, and that henceforth they should term each other Citizen. This measure, which is in imitation of the French Jacobins of 1792, has been adopted by several constitutional municipal councils.

Notwithstanding these threatening appearances, however, according to private letters of the 20th Sept. tranquillity generally prevailed in the capital. Gen. Salvador, an officer of reputation, had been appointed minister of war; and Morillo, who had been compelled to resign his situation of Captain-general, at Madrid, had again resumed his office, had organised a new military police, and announced, by proclamation, to the citizens and municipal authorities, his determination, at all hazards, to prevent disturbance, by the signal punishment of persons disposed to act in hostility to the law. The factious club of the Fontana d'Oro had also been closed, and several of its most furious orators arrested.

To add to the miseries of this unhappy country, in the midst of these political dissensions, a malignant fever broke out some weeks since in Catalonia, and continues to make dreadful ravages. The fever appeared first at Barcelonetta, a suburb of Barcelona, and as all communication was immediately cut off, it was hoped by that precaution that the town might be saved; but it had made its appearance within the walls with symptoms equally fatal, and on the 12th ult. the panic-struck inhabitants were flying from it in all directions. Even the municipal authorities and military force, whose presence must be so essential in such emergencies, to preserve order, partook of the panic, and were leaving the city. The fever is described to be of the most malignant kind, and very few of those who had been attacked with it escaped. The number of persons who have quitted Barcelona is stated to be from 35,000 to 40,000, who are scattered in different places of that ill-fated province. All Catalonia is in desolation: the unhappy inhabitants withdraw to the mountains,
