SPAIN.

uItDBID, lleacx 12.
The crisis of the other day still occupies men's
minds. There is much talk of a letter sent by Nervier
to the King Consort, and signed by all the minister',
complaining of his influencing the Queen's mind
against them, and of having refused to give them a
private audience, and concluding by threatening to
employ severe measures. The King replie2 that he
was, constitutionally speaking, nothing more than a
Spanish subject, who had nothing to do with the
government; but that he had perfect freedom to
refuse to receive those whos3 conversation was dis-
agreeable to him. When he showed the letter to the
young Queen she wept bitterly, for she doeply feels
her husband's humiliation. Th. opposition journals
express great uneasiness at the concessions supposed
to be about to be granted to the Holy See.
Several Spanish bishops, in pursuant* of orders
from the holy see, have sent circulars to the country
priests, ordering them to promote the enlistment of
soldiers for the Spanish service. The circular of the
Bishop of Leon says that 8,000 or 10,000 men are
required. They must be young men, known as hay-
log no tendencies to ideas subversive of order or re-
ligion. Their time of service is to be six years; they
will have sixty reels a month. The good bishop goes
on to say that prudence requires that this business be
carried on with much caution and reserve, so that if
it do not tarn oat well, no handle be given to ca-
lumny for the purpose of lowering the dignity of this
catholic nation. The troops are to be composed ex-
clusively of Spaniards, officers and all.

tion. Two diligences have been stopped on the
Andalusian road, between Models and Visello, by a
band of eight men, armed to tho teeth. The robbery
was done a the most leisurely way, more than two
hours being employed in it. General Bluer, who
