SPAIN.
THE POSITION OF THE O'DONNELL
MINISTRY.
EXPECTED INTERVIEW BETWEEN QUEEN
ISABELLA AND NAPOLEON.
MADRID. AUGUST 17.
Since the arrival of Queen Christina at Zsraug
rumours have been current in influential quarter
of en approaching change of ministry by which the'
progresaist party would come into power under'
the Duke of Victoria (Espartero), General Prim
being Minister of War.
Such au event is seriously discussed in political
circles, and the ministerial press manifest an ill-
concealed uneasiness on this subject which 1
strengthens the conjectures of the opponents oft
the present cabinet. Queen Christina is said to be
decidedly in favour of the advent of the progreasist
party to power, and to use all her influence with the
Queen to bring about such an event.
The Duke of Tetuan is represented as having
terniined not to yield in the question of Senor
Tenorio, whose dismissal from his post in the royal
household he recently demanded. The minister's,
great strength is held by his party to consist in an
uncompromising attitude with the court.
It is stated that no ministerial candidates will be
put forward at the approaching elections, which
will be conducted by the committees of the Liberal
Union.
Relative to the much-discussed interview of 1
Queen Isabella with the Emperor Napoleon, the
ministerial Epoce says :
We hive never dottiest the passibility of such an inter-
view taking plum What we have maintained, notwitb.
Maudlin all that has been warted by the majority of the
papers, is that no elitist step has been taken to Nisi about

any sack interview.
The Currespondencio believes the interview will
take place. The same semi-official organ says it is
witless for the opposition journals to seek for ob-
stacles to the ministry in high quarters, and states
that the government is assured of not having for
a moment lost the confidence of the crown.
An important progressist periodical, Lo Nation,
organ of Senor Madoz, recently published an article
which has produced a great effect both among minis-
terialista and progressista. The NUCiOfb opposes
ou moderate and well considered language the
propagandist policy of withdrawal from political
lite, although doing entire justice to the sincerity
and purity of motive of those upholding this policy.
On the day of the recognition of Italy by the
Spanish government the Austrian minister in
Madrid is stated to bare forwarded a protest'
against this act to the Spanish Minister for Foreign
Affairs. Senor Castro replied in decided terms,
denying any right on the part of the Austrian
government in this question, and expressing very

liberal ideas.
New iron mines have been discovered in the
neighbourhood of Irun, for the working of which a
special line of railway is to be constructed. The
product of the mines will it is estimated reach
100,000 tons per annum.
The railway from Cordova to Maws has been
opened with great ceremony by the Minister of
Public Works, the civil governors of the two pro-
I clones, and other officials, in presence of a large
number of spectators. The benediction was given
by the Bishop of Cordova.
