PAIN.

Madrid journals of the 11th instant have arrived.
The Heraldo, the journal of NARVAEZ, gives the
following account of the Ministerial crisis :
" The General having resolved to retire into private
life to re-establish his health, waited on the Queen in
the evening of the 10:h, and requested her to accept
his resignation. Her Majesty, as on previous occasions,
declined to receive it, and the othe r Ministers accord-
ingly went to her and submitted to her the General's rea-
sons for wishing to retire. At last, the gieen, after
some resistance, couented to accept the resignation,
and General Narvatz immediately after presented
himself' to offer his thanks. Her Majesty, with much
emotion, expressed her confidence in him, and her grati-
tude for the services he had rendered. The other Minis-
ters then offered their resignation, but the Queen did not
accept it." The khraldo adds that General Narvaez,
" desirous that neither his name nor his presence should
serve as a pretext to any political arrangement," deter-
mined to leave Spair, and actually set off the same night.
In a P.S. the Heraldo says:—
" Up to this moment the resignation has not been ac-
cepted, neither has there been called. to the Palace
any man capable of forming a Ministry. Many
Ministerial candkateships are spoken of in Madrid.
We Can state positively that none of them have the least
foundation. The most probable is that this day the
Marquis de Pidal will be called in and consulted.
It is almost certain that he will not accept the task
of forming a Cabinet, and will confine himself to in-
dicating the person to whom her Majesty may apply.
It is said that the person he will name will be either
the Marquis de Miratiores, or M. Martinez de la Rosa;
but this is only conjecture. It is not probable that either
this night or in the morning anything positive will be
known. In Madrid, it is needless to say, the most com-
plete tranquillity prevails."
We read in a Madrid letter of the 11th

"Yesterday evening, General Name's, whose resig-
nation thu Queen bad not accepted, assembled his col-
leagues and said to them with emotion, I request you to
carry my resignation to the Queen, and get it accepted,
otherwise I will blow out my brains.' The accent of deter-
mination with which these words were uttered induced
the Ministers to go to the Queen and obtain her unwilling
assent. The others, also, offered their resignation,
which was not accepted. When the General was in-
formed of the Queen's acceptance, he became calm, and
at once gave orders for his immediate departure from
Madrid. To-day, at three, he left Madrid for France.
Before going he took leave of their Majesties. The
Gazette, this morning, published the following decree
signed by the Queen, and countersigned by M. Pidal:—
to the reiterated request ot;he Duke of Valencia,
the President of the Council, to withdraw from office
on account of his health, I accept this resignation,
and declare myself highly satisfied with his devoted-
ness, and with the eminent services which he has
rendered to my throne and to the nation in the ex-
ercise of his high functions. January 10.' The Cla-
mor Publico, in its quility of opposition journal, pub-
lishes an apocryphal list of the new Ministry, run-
ning thus:—Marquis of Mirefiores, Foreigh Affairs
and President of the Council; Egana, Justice: Giunt,
Interior; Valdegamas, Commerce; Pastor, Finance;
Bustillo, Navy ; and Count d'Alcoy, War. This list
only exists in the brain of the writer: our information
states that the Ministry will only be modified. It is
believed that M. Pidal has been charged by the Queen
to reconstruct the Cabinet. It is supposed that M. Vidal
and M. Mon are to be the influential members of the
new Cabinet, which probably will close the Cortes. The
funde have only slightly fallen."
