Spanish News. Mr. Peter Lander, of Salem, who came passenger in the schooner Hannah, which sailed from Gibraltar the 10th of May, and arrived at Marblehead on Sunday last, furnishes the following minute, which he received from Captain Joseph Young, of the ship Native, which had arrived at Gibraltar from Malaga:
"The grand Duke of Berg was to be appointed Regent of Spain, in the absence of the royal family at Bayonne when a grand council was to be held on the subject of the Confederation of the Rhine. Six or seven hundred Frenchmen had been killed in the suburbs of Madrid. About 100,000 Spaniards were under arms in Valencia—the same in Catalonia—armed at their own expense; and there was a spirit of universal revolt from the French domination. Every subject of Spain appears resolutely determined to oppose the French with their lives and fortunes."
