SPAIN AND MEXICO.

Yesterday's Constilutioneeleays:—"We were quite
justified in expressing a hope that the difference be-
tween Spain and Mexico will not be so serious as
was supp3sed. We learn already by letters from
Mexico, that Gamed Almonte has been appointed
Minister Plenipotentiary of that republic at the
court of Spain. There can be no doubt that the
presence of this personage at Madrid will powerfully
contribute to smooth all the difficulties that hate
arisen between the two countries."
