velopment of the welfare and the happiness of all
classes of my subjects throughout the Empire, and
to strengthening the ties which unite us with
Europe. lam convinced that the Viceroy will also
continuo upon this course, and that, following in
the steps of his celebrated father, one of the most
illustrious men of our nation, he will understand

SPAIN.
MADRID, APRIL 9 (Evening).

The Marquis de Miraflores made the following
declaration to the Cortes to-day, relative to the
programme of the Cabinet :

"The Ministry will follow a Liberal-Conservative
policy, always observing constitutional legality in
its acts. The Ministry will not solicit the support
of anyone, but the friendship of all. It will ask for
the authorisation to collect the taxes without preju-
dice to ulterior discussion on that subject in the
Cortes. The Ministry will withdraw the bills of a
political character which they have introduced, in
order to modify them, and will shortly propose to
the Legislature a definitive solution of the ques-
tion of constitutional reforms. The foreign policy
of the Government will be neutrality, although
maintaining the name and rank of Spain."
The Marquis de Miraflores concluded by making
an appeal for the reconciliation of parties.
One hundred and twenty-eight members of the
Chamber of Deputies held a meeting last night to
discuss their future conduct. They resolved to re-
main faithful to their former political organisation,
called the Liberal Union.

Wales,
With an eye to the coming elections, L'Opinion
Nationale says to-day, very sententiously :—Partif s
(that is, political parties), can transform themselves,
but they cannot abdicate, and they can never die.
This persistence is their right, and it is also their
birth title of nobility.
Le Pays notifies the fact that Rochebrnn, the
intrepid commander of the Zouaves of the Polish
insurrection, after having sojourned at Paris for a
few days at the Hotel des Italiens, has just now
taken his departure for London.

MEXICO.
A letter, written by an officer in the African
c
hasseurs, from San-Juan-Batista, near Nopaluce
(Mexico), of Feb. 14, in the Journal de Rouen,
says—" Since I last wrote I have gone over a good
deal of ground. We first went to San-Andres, from
that place to Algeres, and thence to Nopaluca. The
last march was made in the night, for we had been
sent for in haste, from the" idea that our co operation
would be required at Nopaluca. We arrived near
this village in the morning, bat the enemy had left.
After halting two days we were sent to meet a con-
voy coming from Perota—that is to say, on our
right. We marched the first day about ten
leagues without falling in with it, and we returned
half the distance, and halted for the night. The
following day we took a road a little more to the left,
and had marched about seven leagues when we heard
the report of a cannon, and on entering a plain we
saw a strong body of infantry drawn up in line.
We were saying to ourselves that they must be the
51st Regiment of the Line when our skirmishers
were received with a volley of musketry. We were
preparing for a charge when we recognised the
French uniform. The affair Was this :—The 51st
were engaged on the opposite side with the Mexi-
cans, and had received information that a diversion
would be attempted by another body of the enemy
on the side from which we approached, and the 51st
mistook us for Mexicans. Fortunately none of our
men were hurt by the fire. We were immediately
ordered forward, and after going about two leagues
at trot and gallop, we perceived on our left, near
the village of Las Lhanos, a strong line of the
enemy's cavalry, who were waiting for our ap
proach. We dashed forward, but before reach
ing them we found ourselves in a field of cut
maize, which impeded our advance. At length we
we over this impediment, but before arriving within
reach of the enemy we saw in front of us a very
deep ravine, which stopped our proress. A few
of the Mexicans still remained on our side of the
some, and mak-
hollow. Those we charged, killing
ing prisoners of the others. We afterwards dis-
covered a passage which enabled us to cross, and we
pursued the Mexicans on the other side. On our
reaching the mountain at a short distance from
them they commenced firing, but from too great a
distance to do us much injury. The enemy were
driven back into the village of Las Lhanos. If WE
had not been delayed by
that out of the 400 or 500 Mexican horsemen not
many would have remained to tell the tale. We
the bad ground, I think
only lost one man killed and three horsts. The
enemy had twelve or fourteen. men killed and five
taken prisoners."
