SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 12th publish copies
of the propusitions male in July by the Mexican
Envoy for the settlement of the dipute between
his country and Span, and of some of the corre-
spondence which took place ; but these documents
are not now of any general interest. The Duke
and Duchess de Montpensier and their family
had left Madrid for Andalusia. The Queen
and King accompanied their Royal Highnesses
to the railway station, and her Majesty pro-
mised to visit them at Seville before long. The
Order of Maria Louisa had been conferred on
the Princess Clemeutina d'Orleahs, wife of the
Duke Augustus of Saxe Coburg Gotha ; on the
Princess Charlotte, daughter of the King of the
Belgians ; and on a Princess of Sardinia ; and the
Grand Cross of the Order of Carlos 111. has been
granted to M. Alvarez, private secretary to the
Queen. A royal decree enacts that M. Lopez shall
cease to be Under Secretary of State for thedepart-
ment of the interior, but that he shall resume his
duties as member of the R')yal Council. The pro-
ceedings in the Senate and the Congress were un
important. The government had presented to both
chambers the public accounts from 1853 to 1855,
and a bill sanctioning the supplementary credits
obtained in 1857, and those proposed for 1858.
