Scarcely had the news of Phis fresh disaster spread through Madrid, when the public garrison and of f thein h in er h m l inhabitants b indignation was at its height; because all the world knows that the chief of the sedition owes his plane to the influence of Mr. Bulwer; because this event comes in confirmation of the opinion formed since those events which preceded it, as to the active part which this di plomatist takes in the internal questions of the country ; and, finally, because this occurrence has only served to corroborate the apprehensions which the recent depar ture of Colonel Fidge (Fitch), Mr. Baker's agent, for Andalusia, caused to be entertained. The resentment which the populace of Madrid and the troops which garrison it entertain in consequence of the encouragement to rebellion which they attribute to Mr. Bulwer, reached such a pitch, that her Majesty's Government entertained serious apprehensions with re gard to his person, if the attempts at disorder should be renewed in this capital. It is impossible to describe the indignation which Mr. Bulwer's presence excites in Madrid. Let it suffice to state to your Excellency that even if the Government had less ground for resentment against this diplomatist, for his own security it should cause him to depart from Spain, as the only alternative recommended by prudence in such critical circum stances. Her Majesty's Government has so determined it, delivering passports to Mr. Bulwer, together with the note, of which I herewith transmit a copy to your Ex cellency.

The undersigned, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of her Catholic Majesty, has the honour to transmit herewith to Viscount Palmerston, her Bri tannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, copies of two dispatches from the Duke of So tomayor, First Secretary of State of her Catholic Ma jesty, dated Madrid, the 15th of April and 12th of May, both of them relative to the steps taken by the under signed to obtain the withdrawal of Sir Henry Bulwer from his mission at that Court.

Most Excellent Sir,—Her Majesty's Government has unfortunately for some time had well-founded grounds of complaint against the conduct pursued at this Court by the British Minister, Mr. Bulwer, who, forgetting the character and friendly attributes of his mission, for reasons which it is difficult to characterise, has not ceased, to the surprise of everybody, to direct all his ef forts and the influence of his official position against the Government to which he is accredited, in aid of a poli tical party which harbours a turbulent and violent frac tioa which aims at overthrowing the existing Cabinet that governs the country by means of the entire confi dence bestowed upon it by the Crown, and with the support and ample sanction of the Cortes of these king doms. .

COUNTY COURTS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Silt,—My attention has been call e d t o a l e tter re rrecting the County Courts, c o pi e d i n t o Th e S un from a weekly paper. lam prepared to concede that much amendment in the Act is required ' • but I also contend that as an experiment th e measure has been pre eminently successful. The fact of 429,215 p l a i nts being issued in nine months proves this. But in order to get well-considered amendments adopted, the real effect and working of the measure should be laid be fore the public, and in no respect distorted or misre presented. The writer of the letter says the total sum paid into the suitors'-fund is 345,1221., upon the recovery of which the fees amount to 255,4361. This is not a fair way of putting the question. The amount of fees is not paid upon the amount paid into court, but upon the amount sued for, being above 1,200,000/., or nearly four times the amount paid into court. This is proved by computing the amount from the general fund. You will observe by the Parliamentary return that no less than 161,000 plaints never came to trial at all, the plaintiffs and defendants having, doubtless, in most of the cases, come to an arrangement without incurring the cost of hearing and judgment. In t m a i a n n e y d o t t h h e e r p a c r a t s i e e s s whereafterwards judg effect t s a have av e been ob arrangement, so that, in fact, the suitors fund does not represent at all, or in any considerable proportion, the amount of money actually recovered by the plaintiff. With respect to such points as the Act may re quire amendment in, I think t he subjoined form of petition might be judiciously adopted. Yours, faithfully, A COUNTY COURT TREASURER.

Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em titter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity s , and brokers health, are the great hindrances to domestic happines and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form anitem in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

The LORD MAYOR having proposed the health of the Queen and the Royal Family, gave " The Navy and Army," and joined with the toasts the names of Lord Auckland and Lord Howden. Lord AUCKLAND, in returning thanks for the navy, said they were all aware of the intimate connexion be tween the commercial power of the city of London aad the naval power of the country, and he was convinced that if the services ot the navy should be again called i nto operation they would prove as efficient as ever. Lord HownEN returned thanks for the army. He re garded it as a particular honour that in a very short pace of time he had bees twice called upon, though un expectedly, to return thanks in that hall for the profes sion to which he belonged. Under ordinary circum stances the duties of her Majesty's servants in arms was to gutird . the honour of their country, and to preserve its tameinviolate abroad, and then to watch over her inte rests, her complicated interests, in peaceful prosperity at home —that prosperity which chiefly arose from the good faith, the high intelligence, and dauntless energy of that great commercial body which the Lord Mayor so fit tingly, and they had all reason to say, so hospitably represented. But in the present condition of Europe, when its political state was trembling in the balance ; when the tempest of revolution was abroad, before which thrones and dynasties and in stitutions were crumbling ; when rebellion and treason were rampant on one side, encouraged by the example of a cowardly treacherous defection of a armed bodies m the other ; sterner duties might devolve upon the British soldier, and those duties would be fulfilled. He would not stop to examine the casuistry of the condi tional obedience of men with arms in their hands. He did not understand that miserable jargon which was the offspring of perverted honour and duty. The English soldier feared neither a selfish oligarchy nor a more selfish rubble. He wore freely and fearlessly the livery )f his Sovereign, and that coat be would neither turn oor tarnish.—(Loud cheers.) Far be it from him to :est the slightest reflection on brave men struggling fur just rights and indefeasible franchises ; but if they wished to gain the sympathy of the army of England they must never for one moment forget that the best of ill equalities is the equality of the law, and the only lasting and true fraternization—that was the word now —is a just and considerate, kind, charitable Christian consideration of the other interests, various, complicated and great, of which a commonwealth is composed. If the day of danger should arise the army would do its duty, not only in defence of the honour and interests of the country, but of what was too often insidiously at tacked under the name of liberty—the true indepen dence of the people. The next toast was " The Foreign Ambassadors," to which the Danish Ambassador returned thanks. The LORD MAYOR said that in proposing the next toast he had a most gratifying task to perform. Agree ably to the good: old custom of the city. of London, the Chief Magistrate had the privilege of inviting under his roof, to partake of his hospitality, the Ministers of her Majesty. In conformity with that custom he had invited her Majesty's Ministers that day, and he felt the utmost gratification in seeing around him nearly the whole of them. The members of the Administration were not invited for the purpose of entering into poli tical discussions, but for the purpose of enjoying some relaxation from their serious and important duties. Under these circumstances they had been invited that day, but extraordinarily situated as they were, it would not be improper to refer to their present position. It was a source of great satisfaction to all that the power existed for assembling at that board. It was a privilege not granted to many of the cities on the Continent of Europe, and it showed that Providence was abundantly kind to this nation. He congratulated her Majesty's Nlinisters upon coming to the city of London to enjoy the relaxation to which he had alluded, and he believed sincerely that if any one question more than another ab sorbed the anxious attention of the members of her Ma jesty's Government, it was comprehended in the desire to preserve the peace of Europe. It must be admitted that England was in a state of comparative agitation —but it was quite obvious, as appeared from everything which had taken place, that the masses of the people desired no change except that which would bring im provement with it. Lord JOHN RUSSELL -- My Lord Mayor, I rise to thank you, in the name of my colleagues and in my own name, for the great honour which you have done us. Being much accustomed to the splendid reception which is given to he r Ma j est y 's Ministers in this city, I need express no surpr ise at the noble hospitality with which we have been received this evening. But, my Lord, you have, I think, very properly expressed that this was an occasion on which we might be expected to make some allusion to the events passing through out Europe. And I cannot forego this opportunity, even though I may be infringing on the office of my Noble Friend the Secretary for the Home Department, of expressing my sense of the way in which he has succeeded in preserving this country from the horrors of anarchy.—(Cheers.) We have felt, supported and aided as no were by the great mass, by the overwhelm ing majority of the inh abitants of this neighbourhood, that there was little to be feared from any attempt to violate order or overthrow our institutions. And 1 trust and believe that this same spirit of loyalty and attachment to our institutions will preserve that internal peace and tranquillity which less fortunate nations have been deprived of. I think, my Lord, that we indeed owe thanks to Providence for having been able to pre serve peace, both internal and . external. My Noble Friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs as yoa hare justly observed, appreciates . as highly as any man can do the blessings of peace with the continent of Europe. I trust that peace will be maintained ; and I mast add, that it is not only our wish that peace b e t wee n this country and foreign nations should be maintained , but that it is our earnest wish to contribute, by all the means which the influence of this country can command, by all the co unsels which impartia lit y and friendly zeal can suggest, to preserve those blessings to other countries, and to secure their continuance—(Cheers.) And, my Lord, I may, perhaps, be allowed to remark . that the course which we are pursuing a • t the present period affords a signal r efutation of those calumnie s which have been constantly heaped upon this count r y , as being the country which, founding its prosperity upon commercial and manufac taring pursuits, must ther efore have adesire for the de preciation and almost degradation of those pursuits in other nations. Such ha s been the prejudiced idea which has been entertaine d in some foreign nations with regard to England, and which has been carefully instilled into the minds of their people. But, .whatever may have been the notions g enerated b y the spirit of commercial rivalry in past ages, I will venture to say that, at the present time, men of all political parties, of all pursuits, and of all classes in England, ardently wish for the pros perity of foreign nations.—(Hear, hear.) The last six months have given our neighbours to see, even if we had no better motive for wishing independence, riches, and prosperity to other nations—experience has shown us that there can be no disturb ance abroad, no injury to other nations, no fears of insurrection or the commencement of war a mongst the nations of Euro p e, without this nation sensitively feeling, in its trade and commerce, the injury which arises from tha t a pp rehension and those disturb ances.—(hear, hear.) Therefore, if we had no better motive—which I maintain we have—than a wish for our e own interests, that alone should induce us to use all the means in our power for tham intenance of peace , the progress of rights, and of international friendship in Europe and in the world.—(Cheers.) I trust, there fore, seeing that we have no selfish views is this matter, that other nations will be ready to listen to our advice, and that we may be enabled, at this great cri sis in European affairs, to contribute, as we have d o ne in former times, to allay and remo ve hostilities, to prese rve the independence of nations, and to aid them in going through the great difficulties of the present time w ithout any serious or formidable infrin ge ment of peaceful re lations.—(Hear, hear.) You have said, my Lord, most truly, that the task imposed upon Ministers at present was one of more than ordinary difficulty but we have the consolation of knowing that we are sopported in it by all orders and ranks in this United Kingdom ; we therefore endeavour to perform our duty to the best of our ability, regarding any sacrifice of time, or health, or convenience, as due from us to our c ountry.—(Chee rs.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE —I rise at this moment to ask you to drink a toast which must accord with all your feelings, and which ought not longer to be delayed —the health of the Lord Mayor of London, and thanks to him for his hospitable entertainment.—(Chee rs.) I will not dwell on the many excellencies which attach to his character; I believe they are universally known and acknowledged; and we may congratulate ourselves that 1 at this moment we have such a chief magistrate to pre- side over the peace of this metropolis, and to uphold the honour of this great city in the eyes of the British public and the world.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR—I feel more than words can express the honour which you have done me. If I have done anything to render the least service in my position as chief magistrate, I may attribute much of its influence to the assistance and confidence which I have derived from her Majesty's Ministers; and I particu larl y allude to that Minister with whom I haler had more frequent communication, by virtue of the office which he so honourably sustains the Secretssey of State 1 1 for the Home Department, Sir Geoff e Grey.— (Cheers.) In no case when I have found difficulty and needed advice, have I been for a moment denied it, when I applied to the Right Hon. Gentleman. — (Hear , hear.) He has invariably given it with the greatest kindness and courtesy. I have had access to him at all times, and I feel under the deepest obligation to Sir' George Grey for the manner in which be has acted on late occasions. I may allude to another Noble Lord, who continues to render kind assistance to the city of London, whenever it is asked sad needed; I mean the Earl of Auckland, who is held in the highest estimation by the citizens of London.—(Cheer s ) . The LORD MAYOR then proposed " The Marquis of Lansdowne and the House of Lords."—(Cheers.) The Marquis of LANSDOWNE.--I assure yon, on behalf, not only of those Members of the House of Lords who are present, but also those who are absent, that in a period which has been justly described as one of no common difficulty (and the year in which your Lordship has been called to fill tie civic chair has been such) it will be the first ambition of that body to discharge those duties, and to perforn those functions, and those functions only, which the constitu tion has assigned to them.—(Hear, hear.) I believe that that is their first wish; and I am convinced they feel that their strength consists not in the possession of any exclusive power or privilege, but that it rests upon the consideration well known to those who have studied the constitution of this countay, that those functions and powers are linked with the functions and powers of all other classes, and are made to combine and to co-operate with them in one harmonious whole. In that feeling I am sure they all unite; and I am convinced that they will discharge their part in the maintenance and preser vation of the institutions of this country, and its liber ties as founded upon those institutions.—(Hear.) The LORD MAYOR—I have now the honour of pro posing " The health of Lord Palmerston and the Members of the House of Commons." The country at large must be under great obligations to the Members of that House, for their tinwearied labours in promoting the best interests of the nation. In connecting with the toast the name of Lord Palmerston, I would observe that I have no doubt his Lordship is animated by a sincere desire to support the honour of this country; and I trust that, amidst the difficulties and confusion now creating distur bance in neighbouring countries, he may be enabled to steer clear of those evils, so as to preserve the peace and tranquillity which we now enjoy. —(Cheers.) Viscount PALMERSTON—I return you my most cor dial thanks for the double honour you have just bestowed on me—that of drinking my health in this great and dis tinguished assembly, and that of connecting my name with one of the most noble public bodies that exists in the civilized world. —(Cheers.) I would thank you in the name of the House of Commons for the honour you have.done them in drinking their health on this occasion, did I not feel there is that brotherhood existing between that great assembly of freemen and the great cor porate body of the City which must convince you that the Members of the House of Commons cannot but be grateful for the compliment paid them by a body representing the commerce of the kingdom. Commerce and freedom go hand in hand, and are mutually dependent on each other; it is natural, there fore, that this great commercial city whose interests depend upon the freedom of which the House of Com mons is peculiarly the guardian, should not forget in the social and convivial moment to do due honour to the Commons House of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) If there is any period at which, more than another, Englishmen ought to be sensible of the great blessings which the House of Commons, as part of the Parliament of this country, confers upon them, the present time is perhaps not the least remarkable of any. We see around us the nations of Europe that have long been deprived of those blessings of freedom which we pos sess, and which we hardly value sufficiently, because they have been handed down to us as an inheritance fromour remote ancestors— we see the nations which have not enjoyed those blessings now s truggling through the greatest difficulties, and affronting the most appalling dangers, in order to obtain possess ion of the freedom we enjoy, and to fulfil an ambition which perhaps might be described as almost the ordinary ambition of men.—(Cries of "Bear, hear.") And therefore I say this is a moment at which every Englishman must peculiarly value those inestimable in stitutions which have secured us the benefits of internal peace when the nations around us are so plunged in con fusion and disturbance. Your Lordship has been plea , ed to advert kindly, and with a due estimate of the feelings whichth ills honouram animated, to fiil. that it has been, and will be, my constant study, in dis- Ibyhave t Io earl assays particular y ou , o ffi c e whi c h dis charging the duties which belong to that office, not my Lord, merely to endeavour to the utmost of my abilities to maintain and preserve for this country the blessings of peace, but, has my Noble Friend Lord John Russell has said, it shall be my endeavour to preserve that blessing to other countries, and in every part of the world to which our influence may be permitted to extend, in every case in which our advice may either be accepted or solicited, to endeavour to preserve to those countries of circumstances, they have been for that blessing, or to restore it, if, by an unfortunate com binationillustration of that which your Lordship so well plunged into the horrors of war. It is a satisfactory a moment out—the connexion between peace and the progress of pointed civilization—thati those attempts which are now conuvls ing Europe from one end to the other, although, in former periods, when the triumphs of civilization were less than now, they would probably have produced a universal war, have, hitherto at least, only partially dis turbed tranquillity iu different portions of Europe. — (Hear, hear.) I most fervently hope that that partial disturbance may only be temporary, and that we may soon see tranquillity restored, and that the progressive change which is taking place among the different nations of Europe may pass to its consummation without any disturbance of the general peace of the world.—(Cheers.) His Lordship concluded by proposing" The health of the Lady Mayoress."—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR returned thanks, and concluded would always maintain b a d hitherto hel i d t i w n o t u h ld e by proposing "The Church:and the Bishop of Norwich."

On the system adopted by the Lower House during the present session with regard to void elections, there is not a borough or county in the United Kingdom which might not be left unrepresented for an indefinite time. That system just amounts to this:—Let A and .B offer themselves as candidates for a particular borough on opposite interests. Towards the close of the poll, B finds his rival has a clear majority in his favour. To fetch up the difference is beyond hope, it is impossible B should become the sitting member. He is not quite beaten for all that. Ile cannot get in himself, but he can turn his rival out before he is well warm in his seat. He can do more than this. B, the candidate of the 50 votes, can not only unseat A, the candidate of the .500 votes, but ho can mulct the 500 constituents who have been unable to dis cern his Parliamentary capacity to the full extent of their suffrages. It is not even necessary that B should take any step himself. He may be a man of spotless honour and integrity, such en one as would shrink from the dirty act of dragging down a rival by unfair means. But amongst his electioneering agents may be found a person not quite so scrupulous. There would appear, unhappily, to be a kind of conventional immorality in election matters, which does not, as it should of right, stamp the parties concerned with infamy. All that B's agents then have to do is by the hands of their sub agents—there is always a lower depth—to administer a bribe to each of half-a-dozen electors professedly in A's name, and to dispatch them to the poll to register their votes in his favour. If adequate care be taken that the proofs are sufficiently stringent, B in due course of time presents his petition before a Parliamentary C om mittee; and A, the sitting Member, is unseated. The indigna tion of the Parliamentary Purists does not stop here. They not only exile from their untainted fellowship the Member who has been found guilty upon such evidence, but declare, as a cumulative penalty, that the borough where such proceedings are practised or countenanced is unfit to return Members to Parliament. For the sake of the ten unjust men the city is condemned. And what does the public all the while? Pretty much what the public generally does when it takes no particular trouble to sift a question to the bottom—Odit damnatos. The words " venality," "iniquity," and " rascality" fiy freely from mouth to mouth, and the United Kingdom runs a very good chance of being disfranchised in detail. What between the adoption of this practice of the Committees, the officiousness of private Members, and the inexplicable delays of Government in forward ing their own Bills, we have arrived at this prac tical result—that some of the most opulent and impor tant towns in the kingdom are actually unrepresented in Parliament. We have no desire to press the point to its consequence; but is it not a remarkable fact that the t y h e r t e t e h b e r L an o c w h e e r s of the b e y on it s a ti a tu in t g io i n e concurrence of Queen, Lords, and Commons, of the dock to aa d n d d one single Member to the Lower House, or to bestow the franchise on a hitherto unrepresented borough, and clip the constituency of the kingdom of its right propor tions, and, by its simple set or its mere acquiescence, deprive Englishmen of privileges won after u eight cen turies of struggle? It may be said the H proceed to actual disfranchisement by way e buto s f e ß e l n l- enly as far as practical exercise of the franchise is concerned, in what respect do such important towns as Derby or L • wester at this present momentstand • in a better position than though the sentence of erpetual exclusion had been actually pronounced against p them? The tri bunal is not ready before which they are to be arraigned. We can only say that in spirit and in practice,if this be accepted as a good answer, Parliamentary law must be very different from any other law. If apoor wretch but filch a pocket-handkerchief, he is not committed to gaol while a statute is framed which shall apply, and a tri bunal is constructed which shall adjudicate in the com pletest manner possible upon the exact nature of his crime. You take the offence as you find it, and dispose of it by the existing law and before existing courts. If the law be not sufficiently valid, constitution, requisitec n or the court be judged defective i n it s administration, these to, and offe nces su b sequent to the uew matters la law are looked are tried under its pro v i s i ons . F e l ons are entitled to an early gaol delivery, but there is no delivery, it would seem. for thousands of upright and intelligent freemen, if a few voters of scabby morality have crept unawares into their ranks.— Times. -- --- - - -- - LIE REGISTRATION.--IMPORTANT TO BOROUGIt AND COUNTY VOTERs.—Yesterday notices were issued 1 within the city of London and county of Middlesex, that no person would be entitled to have his name in serted in the list of voters now about to be made out in respect of premises of the yearly value of ten pounds, unless he shall pay on or before too 20th of July, all the poor rates and assessed taxes which have become due from him in respect of such premises during the twelve calendar months next before the 12th of April last past, and all persons who omit to make such payment will be incapable of being upon the next register of ♦oters.

Gator, DIET. —On Saturday a woman named Louisa Davis was indicted at the Central Criminal Court for stealing a watch from the person of William Deverill. So great was the alteration for the better in her appearance that the prosecutor had some difficulty in identifying her. EARLY CLOSING MOVEMENT. We understand that a course of lectures to promote the general adoption of this system is about to be delivered at Exeter 101 l by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Although such a proceeding on the part of the diplomatic agent of a friendly and allied nation would at all times be deplorable and im proper, in the present critical circumstances in which Spain is placed, in consequence of the dis turbances in Europe, it had become even dangerous and alarming for the security of the state and the preserva tion of pblic order, which the Government at all cost is determined to maintain. For this reason it can no longer overlook an affair of so much importance ; and, however painful, it finds itself forced to adopt the mea sure which its duty imposes upon it, and the only one calculated to obviate the consequences of such a conflict. Since the events of the 26th of last month the con duct of Mr. Bulwer has attained a degree of greater significance and importance. The Government is as sured that at this moment his house serves as a refuge to men of different classes in life implicated in that at tempt, some of whom were seen at the barricades with arms in their hands, and were consequently ordered to be arrested by the proper authorities ; that from that asylum they continue their machinatioes in concert with those without, in order to disturb anew the public order and tranquillity of this capital. I need not state to your Excellency, that when I refer to this fact, contrary t o the law of nations, violating diplomatic privileges, and offensive to the Government of her Majesty, I have the most complete persuasion of its truth. This state of things is no longer compatible with the r dignity n sofwhich should Government, x i o s r t between consistent the w i t t h y, t o h c e o f u r h i e t n r i d e l s ) . The Government, which is resolved to maintain public order at every risk, cannot do less than complain of the moral support which Mr. Bulwer openly lends to its ma nifest and decided enemies, who are also the enemies of the throne and of your institutions. For these reasons her Majesty commands me to instruct your Excellency to make this known to Lord Palmerston, in order that, with the expedition which the case requires, he may be pleased to make arrangements in order that Mr. Bulwer may be removed from this post, and replaced by a person who may study with better success to represent the honourable and generous sentiments of England at the seat of a Government which entertains towards her all the sympathy and regard which in so many respects she merits. your information, and for execution. royalßy y o o d s t r fea T obnl o isf sih: your l Madrid, nu communicated dE T r o xi de, r l . l Maye i n S e T yl l B2 R I dispatch t . so 4 hers (Signed) THE DUKE OF SOTOMAYOR. markedlpwhichll:aojPalmerston'Ministerye s e t s Ty y il t N ho l 1 eu t h o h . az D p e de 2 U oio s s l( wl e rs s ewi , in which reasons that induced you to withdraw confidentially the written demand addressed by your Excellency to Lord the veuuai turn ufe unfortunately yourowlfrom this which u E h e hl i Excellency ct Cthehlioleseu subsequent f ry a o : l M w ar this. was Bulwer, the British representative.

The recent occurrences of the 7th instant have pro duced in the public mind an irritation ;difficult to ex press, and of which the periodical press is in truth but a feeble reflex.

For these seasons, and for those which I explained to you in my dispatch of the 15th of last month, it becomes necessary that your Excellency should renew your pro way and in order cannot that i ii this any pro ceedings with the British Government, in order that Mr. Bulwer may be removed from hence.

IaTUR/TZ. 6, 1848. h E on o the Ist instant, in which you state recetihve your letter of that, as there has not been time for you to know the course which your Government will adopt in consequence of m y refus a l t o receive Count Mirasol, y ou d o not feel a uthorised t o mix yourself up with th e m i ss i on with wbich he is . charged. In reply I beg, in th e fi rst p l ace, to remar k to you, that you were aware on the 26th of May that I could not receive Count Mirasol ; and that, neverthe less, on the 29th of May, so far from representing yourself as unauthorised to mix yourself up with his mission, you led me to expect that you would add to the note, which you were then about to send me the statements which the Count had brought. But without dwelling further upon this discrepancy be tween your communication of the 29th of May and that of the Ist of June, I must now, upon broader grounds, once more, and formally, on the part of her Majesty's Government, ask from you a written commu nication of any statement on behalf of your Government of which Count Mirasul is the bearer. Allow me to ro mind you of the facts which have given rise to this ow.- respondence. The Spanish Government, on the 17th of last month, took a step of which modern times furnish ' few examples; and desired her Majesty's Minister at the Court of the Queen of Spain to leave Madrid in eight and-forty hours. The principal motive assigned to that Minister for so vi.dent a measure was a professed desire to remove him from an assumed personal danger; a dan ger from which, if it had any existence, it was the duty of the Spanish Government to protect him; but which it rested with him alone to determine whether he should retire from or face. It must have been evident to all mankind that a proceeding, apparently so affronting to the British Crown, required from the Spanish Govern ment either a complete justification or ample apology and reparation; and it must also be plain to every one that the justification, if any could be pleaded, must be imme diate, as well as complete. Of this the Spanish Government appears to have been conscious; for, having preferred the course of giv ing reasons for their conduct, and being aware, as they could not fail to be, that th e reasons • in - assigned the Duke of Sotomayor's note to Sir Henry Bulwer ' of the 17th of May, were anythin g b u t an excuse for that conduct, they sent off Count Mirasol, charged, as you have informed me, with further explanations; and so great appears to have been the anxiety of your Govern ment that the explanations of which ho was the bearer should reach her Majesty's Government at the earliest possible moment, that Count Mirasol was actually sent off from Madrid before Sir Henry Bulwer could leave that city; the intention of the Spanish Government, no doubt, being that the explanations which he carried should be submitted to tke consideration of the Bri tish Government even before Sir Henry Bulwer could have arrived in London. But Count Mirasol came in no official capacity ; he was invested with no diplomatic character which could give any official value to his assurances, or any official authenticity to his statements. It was impossible for: her Majesty's Government, in a matter of so serious a nature, to receive any communi cation from your Government through so irregular a channel , and the more especially while you, the official and accredited organ of your Government, are still re maining at this Court ; and even if Count Mirasol had come provided with credentials to her Majesty, as on a special mission from his Sovereign, it surely is not im mediately after the abrupt dismissal of the Queen's Mi nister from the Court of Madrid that her Majesty could have been advised to receive a fresh envoy from the Queen of Spain, unless, indeed, such envoy bad been charged with a suitable apology, en the part of his Sovereign. I informed you, therefore, at once, that I could hold no communication with Count Mirasol ; but I added that which was calculated to remove any difficulty which you might have felt if you had been called upon to state that which otherwise would have been stated verbally by Count Mirasol ; for, in requesting that the commu nication from your Government might come through you, I also requested thaoit might be made in writing ; a mode of communication which must equally have been adopted if her Majesty's Government had felt themselves at liberty to receive any communication from Count Mirasol. With this invitation you at first intimated your intention to comply, but that intention has now been retracted ; and the hurried journey of Count Mirasol to London, as the professed bearer of explana tions, is to produce no other result than that her Ma jesty's Government is to be required to wait till you shall have learnt the course which your Court may adopt in consequence of a decision on the part of the British Government, which was, the only one which, under the circumstances of the case, they could reasonably have been expected to take. Her Majesty's Government cannot acquiesce in a course of proceeding so disrespectful to the British Crown. If the Count Mirasol has brought any state ment which it is fitting that the Government of Spain should submit for the consideration of her Majesty's Go vernment, in explanation or in justificat ion of the con duct pursued towards her Majesty's Minister at Madrid, her Majesty's Government are entitled to call upon you, as the official and accredited organ of your Government at this Court, to make that statement, and to send it to me in writing forthwith. I now formally and officially call upon you to do so; and it is my duty to add, that if you do not do so within two days after the date of this letter, her Majesty's Go vernment will deem themselves entitled to assume that Count Mirasol has brought no statements or explana tions whieh are in the slightest degree deserving of con sideration; and that the Spanish Government, in sending him hither, had no serious or becoming purpose in view; and'l have further to say, that as no statements can be aded'itted by her Majesty's Goverment except those on which the Spanish Government acted at the time, no statements which may hereafter reach supplementary d . ' can be receive , nor can be taken into you from Madri d _ I . , c , her A ajesty s G overnment in forming consideration to their final judgment on this important matter. I am, &c. (Signed) M.

Bulwer from Madrid ; and as there are several points included in it, I will en deavour to embrace all, dwelling, however, chiefly on the subject of the journey of the above-mentioned Count Mirasol, because I consider the principal question of the passports given to Sir Henry Bulwer has been already PALMERSTON.
