SPAIN.

The Spanish mail of the 13th brings little but
official news of no great intelest. According to the
ordinary form, the Queen declares in the decree ac-
cepting O'Donnell's resignation that she is "entirely
satisfied with hie distinguished and extraordinary
servings, his seal, intelligence, and devotion." It is
announoed, u might have been expected, that the
Marshal has occasion to make a "short visit b a fo-
reign country." He will be fortunate if he gets clear
away. General Woe has been allowed to go to
Santander "for the benefit of his health."

It is rumoured at Madrid that O'Donnell and his
friends were ready to appeal to arms; that Duke was
to leave for Aragon, and O'Donnell put the people in
possession of the parks of artillery; but the chiefs of
the republican party, to whom overtures were made,

preferred the latter as the one who will most

dents of couesil here—the rightful one, myself; the
actual one, Marshal Norma." The Queen paid no
attention to these words, and the O'Donnell couple
quitted the ball full of uncertainty. The next day
the cabinet resigned.
