boom* daily more apparent, sines then the violence of Bowe
fa pewee was exerted without limit to meats through-
out this country the worst opinion of my go-
vernment and myself. Fint, M. Sartorius, in an
official paper, set forth that the late military move-
ment was the work of foreign gold; then the articles in the
government pests, the other pipers now having ceased to so-
rter, accused in pretty broad terms the Boglish government
. of having most prodigally given the gold; I snrell of bemg
an amain ; in short, no tale km been too ridiculous or too
=oestrous not to be circulated. Still I have kept on my
own way. avoiding every cause for quarrel or direuaaion, with
a moderation even perhaps beyond my duty. First, I bought
a conversation with the Duke of Sotomayor, and having ex-
changed very fair and satisfactory verbal explanations wii h
him, I med. him a private but written communication, on •
Dort of understaoding that the same might be laid before the
cabinet, and thus produce a good effect Unfortunately, my
friendly cute met with a discourteous and unexpected reply,
while the daily publications get even yet mote turiwusly
abusive. I answered, uotwithatanding, thi List discourtesy
with calmness; and 1 referred ell subjects of c Anplaint
You.
Our closing extract from these papers is the following
most extraordinary letter, ordering the British envoy to de-
part
Madrid, May 17, 1848.—Sir,—Consideratione of the
highest importance impose on me the painful duty of ad-
ds sling mysilt to you, with the object of communicating to
you a determination of the government of her Majesty,
adopted with as much reluctance u it is prompted by the
purest (*snags of loyalty. You are well aware how public
opiiii tttt in this country has pronounced itself through the
press, and in every possible wa), against your person, with
r sped to n cent evoi.ts. The effort/of the gevernment would
not be sufficient to restrain the deep resentment which the
worthy inhabitants of the city and its loyal garrison enter-
tain; and her Majesty's irivernment his serious •pprehen
done for the safety of the person of the representative of
Ore -t Britain at Madrid, if unfortunately the woes
which twice have filled with tribulation this pacific capital
should be repeated. Your conduct, in the execution of your
important mission. has been r probated by public opinion in
England. ensured by the British press, and condemned in
the Br fish pnrttemrnt. liar catholic Majesty's govern-
meet cannot defend it, when that of her Britannic Majesty
has net done so. In this state of things, your remaining at
Madrid iv considered in this country, doubtlessly without
foundation, as a proof of the weakness of the government,
and if this opinion should gain strength, it might occasion
some conflict, wnicn it is indispensable to avoid at
any cost. For these reasons, which the loyalty 01
the British people and of its government, cannot
otherwise than appreciate at their true value, her Majesty's
government has resolved to put an end to all these fatal
contingencies by trausmitting you your passports, and re-
questing you within the term of 48 hours, or sooner if pos-
sible, to quit this capital, for circumstances are urgent, and
there would be much to lament if this took place too late.
On fulfilling the painful duty of making so disagreeable a
communication to you, I must declare to you with all sin
eerily that her Majesty's government does not, with this
step. pretend to wound in the slightest degree the dignity of
the British government nor of the British nation, and, on the
contrary, it considers it proper to state to you, upon this tic
onion, that not only it does not conceive that your deem-
ture can b- a motive which way weskeu the relations
of good friends!) o and harmony which exist between
Spain and England, an intimacy which no one apple.
Mates more than the Spatiah government ; on the
contrary, it conceives that this step may greatly contribute to
draw them still cheer, as the ethical circumstances of
Europe. and as the advantage of the two nations would indi-
este. Use Majesty's government flatten itself that the go-
vernment of her Britannic fdsjesty will do justice to the
loyalty of its intentions, particularly when it has made the
proper explanation which would satisfy the delicacy of the
court of St. James's. I have, consequently, the honour of
inclosirg herewith the proper passport for yourself and the
person. who may accompany you, and the necessary license
for post horses on the road.—l avail, ftc.—(Signed)—Et
