SPANISH FINANCES.

-
MADRID, 21st April.
Yesterday, in Congress, Senor Alonzo Martinez,
Minister of Finance, made the following reply to
Senor Moyens on the subject of a projected Na-
tional Bank :
" I have already stated that the receipt for the
deposit made by the contractors existed, and I hale
ordered that it should be sent to the Committee on
the Bill. I now hold a copy of this receipt, which
is as follows :

" We have received from Mr. Lewis Hazlewood
the sum of £200,000 sterling, to be held as deposit
by way of guarantee for the fulfilment of a con-
tract submitted by Mr. Haslewood for the appro-
bation of the Spanish Government. and which
proposes the establishment of a bank in Spain.
The deposit of the above-mentioned sum has
been effected under the conditions expressed in the
letter jointly addressed to us on the Bth Marcill
1866, by Mr. Haslewood and Don Jose Borrajo,
chairman of the Spanish Finance Commission in
London, and we undertake to deliver the said sign
of £200,000 sterling to the proper claimant thereof,
in conformity with conditions 3 and 4of the letter
signed by Mr. Haslewood and Don Jose Borrajo*
To this end we sign the receipt in duplicate, Alr'
Haslewood preserving one copy, and Don Jose
Borrajo, as representing the Spanish Government,
the other."
The most important condition above referred to,
continued the Minister, is that which states :
the event of the contract not being fulfilled by the
concessionnaires, the deposit of £200,000 will b°
delivered to the Spanish Government." The Minister
did not state with what establishment this deposit
in question was made.
The Epoca of yesterday published the following,
paragraph with reference to the current rumours 01
approaching disturbances in Spain.
" We have several times mentioned that previothl
to the military revolt of January we received letter%
from London, proceeding from the Reform Club
announcing the proximity of that event. At °la
time we attached no credit to intelligence subs&
quently confirmed by facts. We are now roots,
mended through the same channel to observe r a
greatest vigilance, since the plans formed are °I
most radical and important character. We 811°to
have said nothing of this had not the Governtselltbe
anticipated us by giving the alarm ; but if
danger really should exist, we could not understand
how the conservative interests of the country should
stoically resign themselves to what the future Icsal
bring forth."
It is stated that two amendments will be brought
forward in the Senate and Congress to the Nations'
Bank Bill, one declaring it illegal for the Govern;
ment or private undertakings to borrow money 3c,
longer dates than three months, the other
the omission of the clause in the bill that the notel„
of the bank shall be a legal tender through°ll"
Spain.
The Senate has voted 31 articles of the bill fOlr
the abolition of slavery in the Spanish colonial
possessions. The Congress has commenced ti:°
discussion of the bill for the reduction of the oa.-
ing debt.l
