M. ISTITRIZ.

M. Isturiz, the late Prime Minister of Spain, has arrived
safely in London, and glad, no doubt, to exchange the quiet
and hospitable home of his friend M. Zulueta, for the noisy
and dangerous quarter of the Puerta del Sol. We are
told that he escaped from Madrid in the disguise of an
English messenger, havine. taken =advantage of a commercial
courier being despatched' to Lisbon to accompany him, as
couriers are in the habit of doing, with a view to society or
security. Though he contrived to get safely through his
political enemies, he had to pay forfeit to plunderers of an-
other description, equally notorious in Spain, though not.
quite so blood-thirsty as the murderers of Quesad, In
fact he was robbed within a few miles of the Portuguese
frontier, near Badajoz, and lost all his luggage and money.
He contrived to raise a supply at Elves, and then passed on
to Lisbon, where he remained until the departure of the
steamer, his perfect knowledge of the English and French
language enabling him to avoid the observation which
would be be given to a Spaniard at that particular
tmoment. His

in the Island of Cuba, land wanted Mendizabal to name
him Intendiente of that colony, qne of the most lucra-

could not be complied with, and an ill feeling sprang
up between the two friends, which ended in an angr-
discussion in the Chamber of Procuradores and a 1'

His Majesty's ship Portland, at the close of July,
went up the Gulf of F,gina, and when off Callimichi several
officers, of whom the purser was one, obtained leave to visit
Corinth ; afkcr viewing Hicropolis, the whole party came
own together, but when in the suburbs of the city of Corinth,
the purser told them that he would overtake them at the inn
directly. After waiting for him until late the next day, the
party directed their steps to the frigate, and reported his ab-
sence, when Captain Price landed with a considerable part of
the crew, and searched in all directions to ascertain, if possi-
ble, the certainty of his fate. A dispatch had been sent in the
mean time to Admiral Canaris, who immediately went up in
a b...ig and aided the crew of the frigate with his men in find-
fog some clue to the purser's mysterious disappearance. The
search, however, of eight days' continuation, proved fruitless.
h was supposed that a gold chain which the unfortunate gen-
..4llPr tleman sported attracted the cupidity of some of the Mainotes,
ergVious/y and that, after murdering him for the sake of it, they buried
~reign Affairs, the body.
