SPANISH DIPLOMATIC CORRESPONDENCE.
The following is the sequel of the correspondence
between the governsestsof Great Britain and Spain, the
former part of which wee even in this paper, on the 26th

VISCOUNT PALUNKSTON TO MR. OULWEIL.
FOSSION Orrice, Apnl 90, 1848 —44,-1 have received
your despatch of the 11th instant, with its Melanins, and
have to instruct you to state to the Duke de Sotomayor that
het Majesty's government entirely approve the step which
you took in making your communication of the 7th instant,
and likewise of your note of the 12th.
That her Mak sty's government, however, are not at aB
offended, either by the sending back of your communication
of the 7th of April, or by the angry tone and language of
the Duke de Sotomayor's note of the 10th, however they
may regret the existence of those feelings in the minds of
the Spanish government, of which the language of his ex-
cellency's note and tne return of yours were proofs.
Her Majesty's government, in making to the government
of Spain the representations, and giving tho advice, which
your communication conveyed, were inspired by no sentiment
but that of sincere friendship for Spain, and of deep interest
in the welfe re of queen Isabella. They felt that in making that
cummunica.ion they were petfoeming a duty, and not taking
any undue liberty ; and therefore, at all events, it is a satis-
faction to her Majesty's government to reflect that, although
their counsel has been rejected and their communication has
been returned, the note has nevertheless been read and the
counsel has been tendered ; and that, whatever calamity may
happen in Spain, her Majesty's government stand acouiaigi
of not having done what they could to prevent it.
With regard to the contents of tho Duke de Sotomayoee
note, her Majesty's government have only to observe, that
ii the right of her Britannic Majesty to the throne of the
Un tad Kingdom had been disputed by a pretended rival; if
civil war had arisen out of such a conflict of claims; if the
British government. bad only a few years ago sent a special
envoy to Madrid to folic t the assistance of Spain, in order
to place her Maj. sty on the throne; if that assistance
had helm given, bolt morally oy treaty engagements, and
- - ••' --seal forces; if the aid the'

physically by military and
afforded by Spain had contributed in so essential a degree to
secure the crown to her Msjorty that it miatt with truth
be said, that without suck aid her Majesty would not now
have be n Queen of England; if, moreover, there still re-
mained a pretender who asserted his right, and whose
pretentious were backed by a large party in the
United Kingdom • and if upon every symptom of danger
from that pretender and that party, the British Govern-
mi•nt was in tee habit of reminding Spain of the treaty
engagements which she had entered into ; was also
in the habit of asserting that those engagements were
still in force ; and was continually claiming the benefit of
the alleged existence of those enzarements,—if all those
things exited, and if the government of Spain had, in a
moment of general disturbance In Europe, warned the Bri-
tish government of dangers by which, in their opinion, the
security of her Majesty's throne was menaced—l think I may
confidently affirm that, under such circumstances, any
might be ministers of the British crown, in-

statumen'who might be
stead of sending back the note in which such representations
were conveied, and instead of replying to it in discourteous
terms, would have accepted the communication in the ume
spirit of friendship in which it was made ; and, whether they
adopted or not the advice which it contained, would at least
hare considered it as a proof of the continued existence of
that friendship on the part of Spain to which, in such case,
would have been owing the circumstance that those British
ministers had the honour of being advisers of the crown, in•
stead of being proscribed exiles in a foreign land.
Tou will transmit to the Duke de Sotomayor a copy of this
despatch.—l am, &c., PALIIIBSTON.

Conoties Railway, for the week ending May 6 ;
Malt

Biel'? ........160 ~ Mar S „
4,730 maks.
Oat
BOTLIT, May B.—Wheat generally in better condition,
yet little sold, although offered at a reduction of 10s. to 15s.
per load. Short supply of Barley; very few but grinding
samples found purchasers; those went at a decline of Is. per
qr. Prices, 335. to 34e. per v. Beano and Per offered at a
decline of Is. to 2a. per qr. Oats rather marce,but no lower.

BRIDLINGTON, May 6.—The weather has been very fine
during the lest tew days, and has bad a good effect on the
growing crops of Wheat, which are improving very much in
colour and strength of plant. Our market to day was very
thinly attended, end not much business was done. Wheat
sold at a decline of Is. to 2s. per v. Other kinds of grain
were without any change in value. Wheat, 465, to 49e.
B irley, 265. to 30s. per qr. Oats, 9d. to 94d. per st. Beans,
365. to 375. Peas, 32.1. to 34a. per qr.
CAMBRIDGE, May 6.—We had a good supply of Wheat,
which. met with a slow demand at lower prices. Barley was
also lower. Beans dearer. Wheat, 445. to 48e. Barley,
31s. to 321. Beans, 31s. to 38s. Oats, 17a. to 225.

DONCASTER, May 6.-The very fine weather that now
prevails exercises a depressing influence on the Wheat trade.
Although we had only a moderate supply, the trade ruled
heavy, fine Wheat being 6d., and ordinary qualities 6d. to
Is. per three bushels lower. Oats are in very limited de-
mand at former prices. Beans, floe and dry, realise rather
better prices ; samples wanting condition unaltered in value.
No alteration in Barley. Wheat, new, 17e. to 18s. ;
fine, 19s. to 215.; old. 17s. to 18s.; fine, 19s. to 20a.
Blendcorn, 15s. to 17v.; fine, 184. Rye, 13s. to Ite.
Beans, 13s. to 145.; floe, 15s. to 165.; old, 17s. to 18s. ; '
Peas, grey. 14s. to 15s. ; white, 145., per three imp.
bushels. Oats, 18s. to 22.. ; fine, 235. to 255. ; old, 19s. to ,
235. ; fine. 245. to 2.51. Barley, 30s. to 32a.; fine malting, I
3.5 s per qr.
Hantetow, May 13.-We bad a good supply of Wheat at
market to-day, which, with the present fine weather, caused
a very dull sale, at the reduction of Is per qr. But few Bar-
leys in off r. Scarcely a sample of B pans, and no Peas. In
these articles no variation from last prices.
Benetton% May 6. -Notwithstanding the quantity of
Whim in offer was limited, to effect sales sellers were obliged
to give way in price, at hut Is. per qr. ; good red, 475. to
485., and fine white was barely worth 50s. There was a
great demand for seed Barley, which in some instances
reached 40e. per qr. B..ans, Peas, and Oats, rather more is
demand, at the rates of last market-day.
HUNTINGDON, May 6.-We had a good supply of Wheat,
but as the farmers refused to submit to much abatement, a
gr. at deal of it was not e Id. Barley was inquired for, and
made a little more money. Beans were rather dearer. Peso
and Oats without variation in p.
KENDAL, May G.-We bad but a thin attendance. The
snip exhibit' d met with purchasers at the prices quoted.
The weather has been rather d y, yet warm and seasonable.
Averages for the weea ending May 6: Wheat, 31 qrs., 595.
Oats, 64,225. 9d.
LANCASTER, May 6.-To.day's market has been the
lightest for all sorts of grain that we have had for a long
time, owing to which an advance of 20. 6d. per load was ob-
tained for Meal. Wheat is also gradually creeping up. The
smallness of quantity for sale is attributed to the farmers
having atti nded the fair at the beginning of the week, and
are now making the best of their time whilst the weather is
so very favourable and fine.
LEICESTER, May G.-A good supply in our corn market.
Wheat, 2s. per qr. lower. Barley, Oats, and Beans, remain
about as last week. Wheat, from 465. to 525. Barley, 325.
to 37.. Beans, 38s. to 425. ; old, 50a. Oats, 245. to Ms par
qr. Flour, fine, 390. ; seconds, 375. ; thirds, 355. per sack.
MALTOR, May 6.-There is only a moderate supply of
grain. Wheat is 2e. p. r qr. lower. Barley fetches bet
week's price., and Oats the turn lower. Wheat, white,
bee to 60.. per 40 'erne ; red, 50s. to 565. Barley, 295. to
345. per 32 scene. Oats, 9id. to 10,1 d.
PRESTON, May 6.-Excepting another cargo of Wheat
from Rostock, the supplies of grain since our last report
are inconsiderab:e ; of Oatmeal moderate. Influenced by
very fine weather throughout the week, and the decline in
the price of Wheat at Mark lane, followed by &corresponding
reaction in other leading markets, the trade here has relapsed
into that state of languor and inactivity which we bad occasion
to n..tice at the beginning of last mouth ; and Wheat and
Flour meeting a very limited inquiry for immediate consump-
tion, the dealers have been able to supply their wants upon
lower terms ; whilst, the di-positien to inv. at in Oats and Oat-
meal having abetted, our previowt quotations remein little MOM
than nominal. We had a small supply of English Wheat,
which met a slow dragging sale, at a reduction of 6d. per
swindle. Irish instill more limited request, at alike abatement
is value. Flour being equally difficult of sale, receded ad
to Is. per sack. Beans untamable on rather easier tenni
Oats, in the absence of any lively symptoms in the trade, are
rather depressed in value. English Oatmeal lull 6d. Ter
load lower. bun, attracting less notice than heretofote,
barely sustained late rates. Other articles met little inquii y.
