A Madrid letter, of July 12, says :—" For several
lays put there has been a talk of Camarillo intrigues,
which are supposed to have imperilled the position of
tke ministry. It cannot be denied that courtiers do
intrigue a good deal, but I have no reason to think
that they can force O'Donnell to resign. If any
modification of the ministry should talc place, it
will be only partial and in favour of the progressistas.
Forty-one new senators have been created."

CONSTITUTIONAL DEMONSTRATION IN
WURTEMBERO.

In the Second Chamber of Wurtemberg, on the
10th, a discussion arose on a proposition to reduoe
the salaries of the members of the ministry, raised in
1856 to 7,600 florins a year each, in spite of the
refusal of the Chambers to accede to the augmenta-
tion. At the beginning of the proceedings,

M. Du Bottum, Minister of Public Worship, defended
the right of the mown to fix the salaries of its permits, in
opposition to the unlimited power claimed by the Chambers
N financed matters. There were, be sail, two very evident
alternatives before the Chamber-either to yield or to be
dissolved. But then was also • third, that of the govern-
ment persisting in maintaining the rights of the crown with-
out paying any attention to what any one might say or do.
(Loud explosion of dimatisfaction.) Everything had its
limits, and, consequently, so had the direction seamed by
the Chamber since 1848. The government was now obliged
to exclaim, " Thus far shalt thou go, sod no iarther."
(Murmurs) The Chamber, betide., would be unwise to
consider its resistence advantageous to the country ; the con-
trary would be the ors. For even if it persisted in its oppo-
sition the only result would be to show its impotence, ri it
never could prevail over the determined resistance of the
government. (Renewed marks of disapprobation.)

M. Scuorr denied that the Wintemberg constitution re-
cognised • naiterchy, in the tome ia wbich M. de Rumeln
understood it.

M. Monl. declared that ha had never, ln that arsembly,
heard expressions made um of so revoltiug as those of the
hon. minhder.

M. Scnorr maintained that the light of the e Ara to vote
tho taxes dated neither from yesterday nor from 180, and
that if the doctrines put forth by M. do itomelin wore fol-
lowed, the ccostitution would be a pieoe of waste paper
fit only to light a candle with. Hia ooneolation, however,
was that the Chamber would do its daty, and that the re-
sponsibility of a minister enrsirtd his tenure of office.

M. lion rid—The moment has then waved when a
pistol is presented at the Chamber with a cry of Yore
money or your life," but another time will come. This re-
mark ie not meant as • threat, but as a warning. Tab,
gentlemen of the government, if you please, thane two
thousand daisies a kind of forced loan, but you s;l1 pay
Interest on lt, and compound interest.
hi. vs Ittrietun explained that, In speaking of the weak-
nma of the Chamber, he only meant to expires the firm de-
termination of the government to maintain its resolution.

This annonnotment did not, however, spare it
from a vote expressive of want of confidence, the
Chamber passing by a majority of 81 to 27 a propo-
sition of M. de Vernbuchler protesting against
the unconstitutional principles manifested by the
minister.
