SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 2d have arrived.
General EVARISTO SAN MIGUEL has refused the
seat m the Supreme Tribunal of War which was
offered him by IN ARYAEZ, and the appointment has
been conferred on General LLAUDER.
In the sitting of the Senate, on the 10th, Senor
PINA AGUAYO put a question to the Government
respecting the rumours of a Ministerial crisis, which
he said had prevailed ever since the late events of the
18th of October, and which kept the country in a state
of disquiet ; and wished to know whether there was
any foundation for those reports, or whether the
Ministers continued, as he presumed they did, to en-
joy her MAJESTY'S confidence. He should be glad,
If the Government saw no inconvenience in doing so,
to have an answer on the subject which would con-
tribute to alleviate the public anxiety.
General NAN VAEZ stated, in reply, that on the
18th instant the Ministers had good reason for think-
ing that they did not enjoy the full confidence of her
MAJESTY ; that he thought it his duty, consequently,
to call his colleagues together forthwith, and that they
were all of accord as to the line they ought to
follow, believing that they could not govern under
the representative system without the entire con-
fidence of the SOVEREIGN,
r and the decided support
of the Cortex. They resolved, consequently, to give
in their resignation, and waited upon her AlaJEsTy
for that purpose. The QUEEN was pleased to accept
them, and in the use of her royal prerogative she
named the Ministry which she thought most proper.
These events were known to every one. W ith
respect to himself, what he could say was, that he
had the honour to be summoned by her .MaimsTy on
the 20th, when the QUEEN made known to him her
desire that he should again organize the Ministry, over
which he had previously presided, in the same manner
as before. In reply, he had thanked her MAJESTY in
the name of his colleagues, but had entreated her
to think of other worthy persons whom the nation
contained, as he considered that the preceding events
had weakened the force of the Ministry
which her MAJESTY desired to charge again with the
direction of public affairs. After stating other
arguments of the same kind, General NARVAFZ said
that he thought it his duty to persist no further, in
consequence of the express desire of the QUEEN that
they should return to office, and that her MAJESTY,
" with evident signs of joy," signed the decrees
naming the Ministry which was then before the
Senate. General NARYAEZ then went on to refer
to the rumours alluded to by Senor PENA AGUAYO.
He said the Government was aware of them, and
that, being firm in its resolution not to continue at
the head of affairs without possessing the complete
confidence of the Crown, they presented themselves
to her MAJESTY- last night, and stated that they
desired, before submitting to the legislative bodies
the various measures which they had prepared,
to hear from her royal lips whether she con.-
tinued dispensing to them her confidence; and that if
not, if her MAJESTY thought that other persons could
better serve the public cause, and that of her august
person, she would please to name them, in which case
they would do their best to support the Cabinet that
her MAJESTY might name in the Chambers to which
they belonged. To this the QUEEN had
replied, by stating repeatedly that they possessed her
whole confidence, that she desired they would con-
tinue at the head of affairs, and that they might state
the same everywhere, and in the Parliament itself.
These proofs of her MAJESTY'S esteem were so grati-
fying and unequivocal that persons of the most exqui-
site susceptibility would say, as they did at this mo-
ment, that they possess the absolute confidence of the
QUEEN.
Senor PENA AGUAYO declared himself completely
satisfied, and the House adjourned without fixing any
day for its next sitting.
In the Chamber of Deputies on the 2d, Senor
OLozAGA. and otters deposited a demand for the
production of papers on foreign and interior affairs.
The palace affair would, it was considered, be ar-
ranged. The municipal elections, which had taken
place, had given a majority to the moderate party.

DISCOVERY AT IZEDCLIMS CHURCH. —At a late
meeting of the Archveological Association, Mr. Godwin,
as an evidence that in early times they had treated the
monuments of their progenitors as badly as had been
done more recently, mentioned the discovery, a few
weeks ago, of a carved monumental slab, of the thirteenth
century, under one of the buttresses of the north porch
of Redcliffe church, for which it had been made to serve
as a foundation. The slab shows a cross occupying the
centre, with two sculptured heads projecting hem the
plain face of the stone, one over each arm of the cross.
