SPAIN.

MADID, Ocr. 9.
General Cordova has been dismissed from the post
of Captain-General of Madrid, and replaced by
General Norzsgaray. General Espeleta is appointed
Captain-General of Aragon ; and his brother, Mai*,
General Frpeleta, Captain-General of Retremadura.
The quarrel between Narvaez and General Oan
dove, which led to the dismissal of the latter, dates
front the return of the Spanish troops from the
Italian expedition. Ten millions of reale were voted
for the secret expenses of this service, out of which
the President of the Council seems to have expected
a handsome slice. Bat when it came to settling ge.
oounts the commander of the expedition protested thit
I not a maravedi of the ten millions remained. A scene
ensued, in which the proverbial coarseness of langur,
employed by the Duke of Valencia drew forth retorts
by to means courteous from the younger general.
Still no open rupture occurred until Sunday last,
when Cordova had the boldness to pass the garr:aon
in review, without so much as advising the cabinet of
his intention. The court which the captaie-geterel
has been paying to the soldiery, by indulgences of
various kinds, had already awakened the jealnuty of
Narvaez ; and so marked an instance of &respect.' to-
wads himself indicated insolence as well as ambition.
This arrogant behaviour was all the more offensive as
coming from a person whom he has constantly main-
tained in the highest military employment., notw ith.
standing his notorious incapacity. On the other land,
it is true that Cordova had rendered impartant
services to Narvaez, with whom, when Miaister of
War himself in the Pacheco-Salamanca cabinet., he
maintained a close intelligence, the Duke of Valencia
being then ambassador at Paris. Cordova and Roe
de Olano received, as the price of their perfidy in un-
dermining their colleagues and effecting the fall or
Serrano, seats in the new cabinet of the 4th of Oct.,
1847, and both of them have since figured in a variety
of captain-generelships and other lucrative offices,
which seem in Spain to be awarded upon any princi-
ple but that of merit. In the meantime, the d agrees
of a creature of the court like Cordova can be fritter
of regret to nobody.

TURIN, Ocr. 10.
In my letter of the 27th August I stated that the
only two men who could enter into the present
ministry were the Chevalier PFtellt (who is still at
Rome, u envoy from this state) and Leant Camillo de
Cavour, the principal proprietor of the very estimable
journal the Rewroimente, and a nobleman of great
wealth, of liberal ye: moderate and conservaive
politics, well-informed of the commercial and hoar cid
Interests, as well ea the general and foreign po.itics
of his country.
I have now to announce to you that Coact de
Cavour has been called to the mini try. lie tabs the
portfolio of commerce and agriculture, left vacant by
the death of the late minister Banta Rosa, to which
has been added the navy, separated from the ministry
of war, to which it had been hitherto united. I can
safely assure you that it is really fortunate for the
country that Count de Cavour should have entered
the ministry ; a man of such distinguished abilities,
practical as well as theoretical, cannot fail to be of
much servics to the government by his talents and
enlightened views.
