THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING.

himself a servile minion in his hands for the
sustentation of Gallic influence in the Court of
Madrid, we have new proof strong as holy writ. The
intelligence recently received from Spain amounts
to this :—that the KING-CONSORT dictated terms
for his consenting b be reconciled to her MAJESTY
equivalent to the full restoration of the Afrancesado
party, the Ministry ;o be modified accordingly, and
himself to have a direct, and of course, therefore, a
most unconstitutional voice in the governance
of public affairs. These insulting conditions
he directed to be communicated to the QUEEN
by the party who was endeavouring to ter-
minate the royal estrangement, and a threat
was held out that, in the event of the above terms
being refused, an appeal would be made to the army,
and a manifesto issued to the nation. The result
showed that FRANCISCO DE Assis had reckoned with-
out his host. The QUEEN sent immediately for the
Chamberlain, and had the whole of the KING'S furni-
ture, &c., removed from the palace to the apartments
occupied by the Duke of MONTPENSIER subsequent
t. his nuptials with the INFANTA, believing that there
was the most appropriate locality for the residence
of one who showed himself to be completely
led by the insidious agents and spies of the French
Court. The QUEEN, also, met the threat of an appeal
to the military with a spirit truly Elizabethan, and
boldly declared that if the contingency were forced
upon her, alone she would head the first battalion
she met, anl appeal herself to the sympathies and
allegiance of the whole Spanish nation. The de-
nouement justified the wisdom of this high-minded
response of the QUEEN. The KING and his
French cabal' recoiled from this unexpected burst of
royal indignation. The craven crew were startled at
the dignified attitude assumed by the SOVEREIGN.
The KING, though not without difficulty, subse-
quently obtained an interview with Queen ISABELLA,
and is reported to have begged for forgiveness in the
most suppliant manner. His MAJESTY, it seems, suc-
ceeded in some measnre in his peccavi mis3i.o. The
concordia discors, however, still remains. Unfortu-
nately, the existing Administration is so far
beset with political difficulties as to render
their efforts to support the QUEEN, and crush
the Afrancesado intrigues, much less service-
able than could be desired. We trust the Mo.
derados will evince their patriotism, and not need-
lessly embarrass the Government, pending the critical
struggle which is now going on for preserving the
nationality of Spain from the grasping designs of the
KING of the FRENCH.

Letters from Rome announce that Cardinal Grzzit
on the 19th ult., addressed to the governors of the
Roman provinces a declaration that his liouNEss
desires to unite around him an assembly of men of
note, delegated by the principal towns in the Roman
States. A letter from Civita Vecchia informs us that
this declaration of the Pontifical Government excited
in that town the liveliest demonstrations of joy. It
was generally believed that the proceeding would
produce the same impression throughout all the States
of the Church.

We read in the Tessineo of Bologna of the 22d
ult..—

" If the intelligence we receive from Tuscany be correct,
the Grand Ducal Government, following the example of
Pius IX., is disposed to adopt a liberal system, awl enter on
the path of progress. It appears that the Tuscan Govern-
ment occupies itself with two important laws ; one mode-
rating the preventive censure of the press, the other esta-
blishing a Council of State, which the Prince will consult in
all important matters."

The Levant mail brings intelligence from Malta of
the 23d, Athens of the 20th, and Constantinople of
the 17th ult.

• The Moniteur Grec publishes an ordonnance
signed by King OTuo, and dated 16th April, making
the following modifications in the composition of the
Greek Ministry :

" M. Coletti, Minister for Foreign Affairs and President of
;he Council.

"M. Rigas Palamides, late President of the Chamber of
Deputies, Minister of the Interior.
" M. Corphiotaki, Deputy from Sparta, Minister of Finance,
in the room of M. Ponyropoulos.
"M. Constantine Colocotroni, Deputy from Caritena,
Minister of Justice.
" M. Glarakis, Senator, Minister of Ecclesiastical Affairs
and Public Instruction.

M. Boulgari, Senator, Minister of Marine, in the place
of Admiral Canaria.

"General Tzavellas retained the Department of War."
These alterations are not of much importance. The
French Proconsul Couvrrt still remains at the head
of affairs, and so long as such shall be the case, the
interests of Greece will necessarily be sacrificed to
those of France.

In the Constantinople journals the only thing►
of interest is an assertion that the last dispatches
from the British Government to the Ambassador at
Athens contained instructions for him to inform the
Greek Cabinet that the English Ministry disap-
proves highly of the conduct of Greece in the affair
with Turkey.

The French ship of the line Inflexible arrived a
.he Pyrreus on the 17th.

Aludrid journals of the 25th and 26th ult. have
arrived.

The reconciliation between the KING and the
QuEEN was the great subject of conversation in
Madrid. Their MAJESTIES had again appeared to-
gether in public.

A meeting of the members of the Mon and Pidal
party was held on the 25th. There were about 70
Deputies present. It was determined to offer every
opposition to Senor SALAMANCA'S Bill for the sale of
the national property, but not to offer any systematic
opposition to the Pacheco Ministry on other matters.
The appointment of General NARVAEZ to the Presi-
dency of the Council was talked of. Should NAR-
YAEZ come into power SALAMANCA would continue
Finance Minister. A letter from Barcelona of the
26th says—

" An encounter took place yesterday between a band of
about a hundred rebels and a detachment of the Queen's
troops, at Bavella, near Solsona. In this combat the rebels
had twelve killed or drowned, and twenty-three were made
prisoners: the rest escaped. Another baud has been beaten
at Serdanolas, and several prisoners have been brought to
Berga."

We have received the Paris papers of Friday and
Saturday.
The Journal des Debats of Friday has the fol-
fowing :

" We announced that, in consequence of the demand of
mediation made by the tiovernment of the Queen of Portu-
gal, English forces and a detachment of French forces in the
roadstead of Lisbon had been disembarked to protect the
person of the Queen and the safety of the capital. This
intelligence was premature, and is ~lot confirmed by the
later information which we have received. It is only known
that the Queen had adhered to the conditions which she
had been invited to propose to the party of the Junta."
Saturday was the birth-day of Louis PHILIPPE,
and there were great rejoicings in Paris in conse-
quence. The National commemorates the anniver-
sary by the following article :
......

"The press has sometimes spoken of the formidable pre-
parations displayed each evening to the eyes of the popula-
tion for the guard of the Tuileries. The imprudence of a
sentry, who allowed his musket to go off when in his hands,
and so threw the chateau and all the posts into confusion,
again called public attention to these precautions, as ill-con-
ceived as exaggerated. Is it not strange that the Tuileries
are transformed into a citadel, studded with nightly patrols,
and surrounded with official and non-official sentries, with
arms charged and password given. Each day the château
is, in fact, occupied, by a battalion of infantry, without
speaking of the two posts of the National and horse Muni-
cipal Guards? By night there may be reckoned as many
as sixty sentries, exclusive of half-a-dozen special guards of
the château, who walk up and down in the garden, armed
with loaded blunderbusses, and from others who are on
service under the Pavilion de I'llorloge. What is most
worthy of remark is, that the muskets of the line arecharged,
but of the National Guard not. Thus, therefore, in full peace,
in the midst of the capital, there exists a permanent camp,
armed, and established on a war footing, as if an enemy was
in sight. It is not without danger to thus confide loaded
arms to the hands of sentries, angd to place citizens at the
mercy of soldiers, often ignorant, who do not always evince
the necessary discernment and forbearance in the execution
of their orders. We may well be permitted to manifest our
uneasiness on this subject; fiir it cannot be forgotten that one
night, about halt-past ten o'clock, after some altercation, a
sentry in the garden of the Tuileries behind the gates of the
chateau, fired at a man passing along the footpath of the Rue
de tivoli, and killed him, without any formality, and with-
out the murder being reasonably justified by the necessity of
legitimate defence."

-It appears that some modification is about to be
made in the composition of the French Ministry.
The National says—
" The most active and most supplicating steps have been
forty-eight taken within the last fort • lit hours- with M. N 11. Passy to
induce him to accept the finance department, in the place of
M. Lacave Laplagne. It is now a long time since M. Guizot
has nourished the idea of getting lid of his colleague, but lie
has in particular felt the neeesAity of it since the strange
justification which M. Lacave•Laplagne presented two or
three days back in the Tribune. Should 111. Passv consent
to accept the portfolio of Finance, M. Lacave Laplagne
would be sent Without any great ceremony to the Court of
Accounts."
The Union 2lfo.narchique has the following on the
same subject :
"M. ',nave Laplange, abandoned by his colleagues
