SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 22d have arrived.
The evening ministerial journal the Popular has
the following on the alleged differences between
Spain and the POPE :—" We have already stated that
the insinuations of certain journals respecting an
alleged difference between the Sovereign PONTIFF
and the Government of the Peninsular were totally
devoid of foundation. We repeat that the best pos-
sible harmony has rot an instant ceased to exist
between the Roman Cabinet and ours ; that the nego-
tiations relative to a concordate between our Ministry
and the Pora's Nuncio are proceeding satisfactorily,
and that no circumstance has occurred to authorize
the Court of Rome to Show itself unreasonable, unjust,
and inconsiderate."
A Madrid letter of the 22d states that seconds had
been named for a duel between M. SARTORIUS,
Minister of the Inteior, and M. SILYA, owing to the
violent attack made by the latter in the Chamber;
but it was hoped that the affair would be arranged. In
the course of his speech M. SiLvA said that the
Alini4try had employed men who had filled low
positions, and he referred to a deputy, who, he
said, had occupied the humble situation of colecierge.
In the sitting of the 22d, M. CoNsaco, private
secretary to the President of the Council, said be
was the person referred to ; it was true that in
the days of adversity he had been compelled to take
the place of concierge, but he had done so to give
bread to his mother. The speech of M. CorhEco excited
great emotion in the Ckarnber. and drew forth marks
of sympathy from all parts. M. SiLyA himself
ascended the tribune, and made public excuses
to that Hon. Deputy. Some Members, however,
signed a proposition for passing a vote of censure on
M. Sinva, and this had been referred to the bureaux.

result."
