SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 10th have arrived.
The motion of OLOZAGA for the production of
papers relating to the foreign policy was rejected by
the Chamber of Deputies by a majority of 107 to 29.
The most remarkable speech during the discussion
was that of Senor EscosußA, the leader of the " Na-
tional" party. He said, that he and the whole Pro-
gressista party deplored the last French Revolution,
which had thrown the cause of liberty back in Europe
for fifty years. He strongly denounced the Roman
intervention ; and, with reference to the English
question, hoped that no mere feeling of amour propre
would prevent a renewal of relations. Referring to
the late Ministerial changes, he reminded General
NARVAEZ that the proceeding by which his Cabinet
fell on the night of the 18th ult. was only a repeti-
tion of what tool; place towards himself and colleagues
on the night of the 3d October, two years before.
(Senor EscosuaA was Home Minister in the Goyena
Cabinet when upset by the intrigue in which Ge-
nerals NARVAEZ, SERRANO, and Ros DE OLIN() were
the principal actors.)
In the COUrao of ea. .ating .LIDAL, the Minister
for Foreign Affairs, officially announced that orders
had been given for the return of the Spanish expedi-
tionary force from Italy.
A proposition of much importance, signed by several
members, was then handed to the President of the
Chamber. Irs object was to require that, in future,
the Basque provinces should pay the ordinary con-
tributions to the State and furnish their contingent
of men to the conscription, in the same manner as the
other provinces of Spain, front which the Biscayners
have hitherto been exempt in consequence of their
ancient fueros (privileges). It is said that the Go-
vernment is not altogether opposed to the proposition,
which, if seriously entertained, will give rise not only
to warm debates in the Cortes, but to discontents in
the Basque provinces, which may end in an outbreak.
On the accession of the QUEEN, and during the
regency of CHRISTINA, an attempt was made to de-
prive the Basques of their fueros when they rose as
one man, and Don CARLos, taking advantage of the
movement in favour of the fueros, threw himself
among them as the defender of the fueros, and hence
the Carlist war, which, so long as it was a war in de-
fence of the fueros, endangered the throne of ISA-
BELLA, but which was speedily brought to an end
when the Government of Madrid consented to observe
the fueros.

CENTRAL GERMANY.

Galignani s Messenger publishes the following
address of the American Minister to his Imperial
Highness the Archduke JOHN, on the occasion of the
presentation of the letters of recal which terminated
the mission of the United States at Frankfort, on the
2d of this month ; also the reply of his Imperial
Highness :
.6 Your Imperial Highness,—l comply with the in-
structions of the President of the United States, in
presenting the letters of recal that terminate the mis-
sion with which I have been honoured near your Impe-
rial Highness.

" It is a source of great satisfaction to me on this
occasion to fed justified in saying that, throughout the
eventful scenes to which the Central power has been
exposed, your Imperial Highness has preserved the
friendship and goodwill of both the Government and the
people of the United States. The obstacles to the at-

iein-ment of the desired union of the German States have
not yet been entirely removed, but they have been
di-
minished, and the belief is entertained that they will
ultimately disappear before that spirit of compromise
which your Imperial Highness so earnestly recommended
at the commencement of the Central Power, and has
since so faithfully observed.
"The United States sympathise deeply with every move-
ment which aims at the establishment of representative
constitutional government. This sentiment is their in-
heritance, and they trust that their national history is a
proof that it is compatible with a just respect for the
rights of all other nations, and for the steady support
everywhere of those principles of moderation and jus-
tice without which no Government can secure the
happiness of the people. This sentiment was awakened
in a most lively manner when your Imperial Highness
became a mediator between the princes and people of
Germany, and as the depositary of their mutual con-
fidence designated a course of action which was cal-
culated to disarm existing agitations of all that was
dangerous in them as rash innovation, at the same
time that it might preserve all that they contained
useful as reform, and natural as the expression of
political progress. In this difficult and arduous peel.
tion it was not expected that the new institutions aimed
at by Germany would be easily or immediately obtained.
All that was hoped was that the building should be
commenced, and that the workmen
it should bo fur-
nished with the means to proceed with as fast as those
means could be supplied by the voluntary and peaceable
contributions of the various members of the confederacy.
It is this hope which your Imperial Highness has known
how to sustain, and in honour of which the republicans
of America and the friends of constitutional liberty in
Europe may cordially unite.
" The new Central Power just formed will be shortly
installed. In expressing a hope that its labours may be
crowned with success, and that a permanent government
may be framed in which- all Germany, as one great
nation, will have a common organ, taking charge of
foreign relations and of general interior concerns, I am
confident that I cannot give a better evidence of my
friendship to the true and lasting interests of Germany,
or make a more acceptable offering to the patriotic
wishes and eminent services of your Imperial Highness.
" In taking leave of your Imperial Highness, allow
me to add an expression of my gratitude for the favour
I have personally received, and the assurance that I shall
carry with me to the United States a sincere desire to
see the interests of the Germans and Americans, who '
are in so many respects the same People; cemented by an
