According to a letter from Madrid (quoted by
Beligman.), a somewhat sharp discussion by taken place
between Marehel O'Donnell, the prime minister, end Mr.
Buchanan, the English envoy, relative to the military pre-
parations of Spain against Morocco. The farmer having
energetically answered certain observations of the latter, Mr.
Buchanan inked if be had any obi, etion to repeat them in
writing ; the marshal immediately rang the boll, salt far a
secretary, dietet,d the reply, and gave it on the spot to Mr.
Buchanan. The indent, however, will sot, it is thought,
Lai to anything.
