SPAIN.

Madrid journals of the 7th have arrived.
The Ministerial crisis still continues, and, not-
withstanding all the efforts of NARVAEZ, who is
exceedingly desirous to keep things as they are until
the differences with England shall be arranged,
BELTRAND :DE Lis positively refuses to resume the
portfolio of Finance.

It is evident that the Orleanist faction perceive
they have gone too far in regard to Sir HENRY
BULWER, and that they were deceived by the repre-
sentations of the Orleanists in this country into the
idea that their strength in the British Parliament was
much greater than it- really is, and now they have
discovered their mistake they are alarmed lest the con-
sequences should be serious. They have accordingly
induced or coerced poor little Queen ISABELLA to
write an autograph letter to Queen VICTORIA, as-
suring her of the friendly disposition of Spain towards
England, &c., &c., in the true Orleanist style of the
autograph letters of Louie PHILIPPE and the ex-
Queen AMELIE, published in the Revue Retrospec-
tive. The consequences of this unconstitutional
practice of carrying on negotiations by means of
personal communications'Abetween Sovereigns, instead
of by official communications between responsible Mi-
nisters, is so fraught with danger, and gives an in-
triguing Sovereign (e. g., Louis PHILIPPE in the
Montpensier marriage affair) such an advantage over
an honourable one, that we trust some measure will
be adopted by her Britannic MAJESTY to save herself
from the annoyance, and her Ministers from the in-
justice, to which they have both been so frequently
subjected in consequence of the unauthorised com-
munications a la Louis PHILIPPB, to which her
MAJESTY has of late years been subjected, and which
are:never made except for the purposes of deception.
Senor IsTuRITz, the Spanish Minister at the British
Court, sent in his resignation the moment he heard of
Count MIRASOL's mission.

Major BACETA, who commanded the insurgents in
the enzeute of the 26th March, has been arrested.
The Espana speaks of a letter received from Ponte-
vedra, Gallicia, giving an account of a discovery of a
republican conspiracy :at Lugo, in consequence of
which various precautions had been taken, and several
persons arrested; but the letter distinctly calls it a
Realista (i. e., a Carlist) one. It says—" His Ex-
cellency the Captain-General has discovered a conspi-
racy, in a loyalist sense, in Lugo, with ramifications
in other points." The Captain-General, in conse-
quence, gave orders to arrest Don MANUEL RODENO,
on whom many letters were found, and another per-
son named IGLESIAS, whose papers were also seized ;
they were sent off to Corunna under escort. The
garrison of Vigo was forthwith changed, and several
retired officers who were residing there were arrested,
and other measures taken.

The town of Olot, the inhabitants of which re-
fused to pay the contribution demanded of them by
the Carlists of Catalonia, has been placed in a state of
strict blockade by the Carlist bands.
