SPAIN.

MADRID, SEPT. 12.
The Queen of Spain arrived at Vittoria this
evening.

The Epoca asserts that on the return of the Court
to Madrid Senior Bermundez Castro, Minister for
Foreign Affairs, will tender his resignation.
MADRID, Sept. 9.

The Central Progressist Committee have inter-

posed their authority to terminate the dispute be-
tween the Iberia and Soberania .Aracional, to the
great relief of the public, who are growing weary of
a quarrel that had degenerated into a mere inter-
change of personalities between the directors of the
two periodicals. A communication addressed to the
Iberia by the committee announces that a meeting
had been held to consider the best means of termi-
nating the polemic. After having heard explana-
tions from both sides, whence it appeared that no
difference existed with regard to political principles
or conduct, the committee hope that the parties will
allow the dispute to drop, thus affording another
practical proof of the harmony and discipline pre-
vailing in the party.
Great efforts are being made to remove any dissi-
dence among the Progressists with respect to Espar-
tero and Olezaga. It has been represented in both
quarters how greatly the strength of the party would
be weakened by the continuance of such a spectacle
of division as it has lately afforded. Senor Olozaga
has accordingly written to his friends that, if his
personality be an obstacle to the reconciliation and
triumph of his party, he is resolved to condemn
Ihimself to ostracism for ever. Nevertheless the
wound of dissension is not healed, and arises
more from a conflict of ideas than mere
personal rivalry between the two chieftains. Since
1837, Espartero and Olozaga, who have held supreme
influence over the progressist party, have followed a
different political course. The Duke of Victoria is
considered rather as a lover of liberty in the abstract
than as being capable of realising a concrete and
practical system of government. Olozaga, an ardent
admirer of constitutional monarchy, has deeply
studied the institutions which have raised England
to her present greatness, and has dedicated all the
faculties of his robust intelligence and powerful elo-
quence to transplanting his ideal to Spain. Espar-
tero, the idol of the people, and enjoying the high
respect of all Liberals, both from his personal
character and great service in the overthrow of the
Carlists, is nevertheless judged by many to be a
theorist, perhaps a dangerous one, incapable of
placing liberty upon a firm and stable basis. Olo-
zaga is associated with the constitution of 1837,
which contained, though in embryo, all the ele-
ments which enter into the constitutional sys-
tem. Since 1843 this statesman has been the
soul of the party, both in the Tribune and the
press, he has consolidated its organisation and main-
tained its faith in the future.

The clerical authorities are making great efforts
in view of the approaching elections, but it is said
that the parochial clergy are not so submissive in
political matters to their reverend superiors as the
latter expected.

The Moderadoes who reckon upoii the probabi-
lities of a Mon-Pacheco Ministry are earnestly
striving to, prevent the dissolution of the present
Congress. One of their organs recently published
an article representing that since the Progressists
persisted in abstention, one principal reason for the
dissolution of the Congress ceased to exist. The
finances required besides urgent and well-consi-
dered measures, which a new Congress could not
enter upon for many months. The Epoca in
treating this subject denies all probability to any
such Ministerial combination. The Duke of
Tetuan, it states, possesses the entire confidence of
the Crown, and will be able to carry out the disso-
lution of Parliament without any obstacle.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept. 6.

It is stated here that in consequence of the recent
insurrection at Bucharest, Sir Henry Bulwer pro-
posed to the Porte and the representatives of the
protecting Powers of the Principalities to send com-
missioners to the Roumanian capital, with the view
of putting an end to the present lamentable state of
affairs. Sir Henry is said to have stated that all
the advices recently received here from the Princi-
palities serve to prove that the most complete
anarchy, together with an intolerable despotism,
prevails in those provinces, and that, therefore, the
insurrection of the 18th August can only be re-
garded as a symptom of the discontent of the
inhabitants, who are irritated to the utmost by
injustice and oppression. The representatives
of Austria, Prussia, Russia, and Italy expressed
their willingness to support Sir Henry's proposal.
The Marquis de Monster, the French Ambassador at
the Porte, nevertheless resolutely protested against
the proposition, and was warmly supported by
Aali Paella. The Porte appears to have no in-
terest in protecting Prince Couza. But it cannot
have escaped the notice of so keen an observer as
Aali Pascha, that after the fall of the present ruler
the inhabitants of Moldo-Wallachia would almost
unanimously request the protecting Powers to name
a Prince as their sovereign. An arrangement of this
character would be equivalent to a total loss of the
Danubian Principalities by Turkey, and would I
overthrow the bulwarks of integrity behind which
she has weathered so many storms.
