SPAIN.

A letter from Madrid says :—" It would seem,
according to information which I think reliable,
that Muley-Abbas has written to his friend, Mar-
shal O'Donnell, to announce that the Emperor has
certainly approved of the treaty of peace, but that
the specie to pay the 400 millions does not exist ;
he therefore begs him to accept it in wheat and
oats. This is a curious and novel fact. As soon as
the farmers hear of this original proposal, they will
eagerly solicit the Marshal to create a ministry of
wheat and oats, in order to collect the corn crops of
Morocco, and sell them in the home or foreign mar-
kets."

The Madrid journals of the 11th, due yesterday,
and those of the 12th have arrived. Some of
those of the former day appear with figured
borders in honour of the triumphal entrance of the
troops from Africa. This entrance, which, as stated
by telegraph, took place on the 11th, was a very
imposing spectacle. Numerous triumphal arches
were erected, and the houses were decked out with
Rags ; an arch at the Puerta de Atocha was com-
posed entirely of foliage and flowers presented by
the Queen ; and the enthusiasm displayed by the
population was immense. Marshal O'Donnell, with
a splendid staff, was at their head, and the other
generals who commanded in Africa were prominent
in the procession. The wounded soldiers were
conveyed in the carriages offered by grandees and
others.

The anniversary of the Constitution was
celebrated on the 13th at Turin with great
pomp and solemnity. At 10 a.m., the King,
accompanied by a brilliant staff, proceeded on
horseback to the cathedral, where a religious
ceremony was performed, at which the Ministers,
the members of the Diplomatic Body, the Sena•
tors, Deputies, and high functionaries of the
State were present, together with an immense
multitude, composed chiefly of the higher and
middle classes. After the service the King re-
viewed the National Guard, the Ist legion of
which was commanded by its colonel, H. H.
Humbert, the heir apparent, who was loudly
cheered. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess
of Genoa, Princess Maria Pia, and the Duke
of Aosta witnessed the pageant from the bal-
cony of the Royal Armoury. In the afternoon
there were horse-races on the Piazza d'Armi, and
at night the town was illuminated. The people
displayed the greatest enthusiasm. Similar fes-
tivities took place on the same day at Florence,
Bologna, and the other cities of the kingdom. The
British residents at Leghorn sent an address to the
King on the occasion, expressive of their joy at
seeing institutions similar to those of England
firmly established in Central Italy.

THE Npv M.P.'s Win.—lntent as I was upon
my new occupations, it was impossible for me not to notice
the change in Flora's manner since I had obtained a seat.
There were an addition of dignity to her general bearing,
for which I was not prepared. It was beautiful to see her
Is she walked along the cliff at Helmston, followed by the
Phaeton drawn by the identical old horse (Tommy, as we
used to call him), who in our less magnificent days used to
take us from Marigold Lodge to London and back within
the two hours—affording us time for shopping as well with-
in reasonable distances—and how she carried her card-case
in her hand in a majestic way—and with what sweet con-
descension she metal her friends and acquaintances,
