THE SPANISH CRISIS.

A private letter from Madrid, lof the 16th, re-
marks as follows on the Ministerial crisis, which
does not seem to have as yet attained its definitive
solution :

"The telegraph will have long since informed you of th e
partial3olution of our ministerial crisis—a crisis which has
been long and painful. A very animated discussion took
place at the Palace, in presence of the Queen, betweee
Bravo Murillo and Armero, who proposed each a differ-1
eot system. These systems differed, it is true, but only
le form, for, in reality, the party to which both be-
long has ever governed arbitrarily. The other persons
who were present took a share in the controversy, and.
sided-with the one or the other according to their respec-
tive views. After hearing all that was said pro and con..
the Qaeen took some time to consider, and, as you are
already aware, Armero came off with flying colours. Her
Majesty, however, with the spirit pf conciliation which
characterises her, summoned to her presence one of the
vanquished combatants, a friend of Bravo Murillo, and
a man of the highest honour, and declared to him that
she greatly appreciated his loyalty, his disin-
terestedness, and h.s patriotism. Her Majesty thus
keeps Armero, and at the same time pays flatter-
ing compliments to the ahem We are now waiting to
learn the names of tie colleagues of Armero and Mon—
for the latter is the alter ego of the former. You will
have perceived that ;he Polacos have nothing whatever
to do in this arrangement ; and that the Reformists
of Bravo Murillo as well as the Absolutists are ex-
cluded ; and if the Ticalvarists (the O'Donnell section)
be also set aside, I do not see how the new Minis-
try can get on. The Moderados were never more
broken up into factions than now, and it would
seem that her Ma;esty, in wishing to reconcile the
dissentient parties, meant to expose to the public the
disunion which emets in the whole party. Ad.) to
these discordant elements General Narvaez, who is
furious at the overthrow of his Ministry, and who
would stop at n)thing if his force, his influeece
( ehich, by the way, is null), and his courage were
on a par with his anger and hie hatred against certain
powerful persons both in the• Palace and out of it.
Such is the picture presented by the Moderado party
at the close d the year which has elapsed since tbey up-
s-t, by meats of a coup d'etat, a Government which
they and others were wont to call 'anarchical.' Yet
teat anarchical Government found in the Treasury, on
its accessirn to power, just 3,000 f., and it left
1,000,000,0)0, while the Narvaez Ministry leaves
400,000,00( of reels fl ,ating debt, the State coffers
empty, the year's budget spent, not to speak of
300,000,001 reels of the Mires loan also exhansted. What
a difference between the men of anarchy, and the so-
called men of order ! It is probable that Narvez will re-
turn to its retreat in the provinces, or wing his
flight to Preece, where he will, a 3 ti,mal, present
himself as a victim. Yet in this he is sincere ; Narvcz
' is a victim whenever he quits power ; and during the
period of his exclusion from it, be grows into an ultra-
Islberal. 7ou must then count in him a revolutiodst tl e
more, andnot one among the least ardent of the band. It
is, however, fortunate for public tranquillity and for the
Throne ;hat be is only a revolutionist in intention
(you knew what materials our .national proverb at-
tributes .0 the pavement of a place that shall be
nameless, in thought, and in theory. O'Donnell told
him SO is his face in full senate. Apropos to the re-
volution of 1854. Then, also, Narvaez promised `to
come wish wanted,'--but he never came; he was ill.
Other Generals presented themselves in the field, and
had net,like Narvaez, the misfortune to fall ill so inop-
portunels. There are many like him who promise 'to
come,' hit do not keep their word. This, however, is
ancient history, and there is no use in reverting *o it.
Who the colleagues of Armero will be no one can at,
this moment say to a certainty.

THE ?RINCE or WALES.—The Prince of Wales paid
the Priobess of Prussia a visit at Coblentz on the 16:lo
inst., tliPe on his way homewards down the Reiine.
Tne Prnee had intended to arrive at that town the day
before, but a thick fog, that covered the Rhine and its
banks, compelled the steamer to anchor off Bingen,
whereeis Royal Highness passed the night. On arriving
at Cotentz one of the Princess's Chamberlains was in
waiting to receive the Prince at the landing-place, and
contheted him and his suite to the Palace ; thence, after
a stayof about an hour and a half, the Prince of Wales '
was conducted by the-Princess of Prussia herself to the
banksof the river, where he re-embarked. As General
Todtlaben is just now staying at Coblentz, and is a fre-
quent visitor at the Palace, it is more than probable • bat
General Codrington, who was in the Prince's suite, had
an opportunity of renewing his former Crimean acquain-
taucs on more pleasing ground and on a more pleasant
footitig.

FRANCE.
PARIS, WEDNESDAY.

The Univers is the only Paris jeurnal containing
a political article ; it devotes its attention to the
principalities question, which it treats in the fol-
lowing manner :

" The Moldo-Wallachiar appear to imagine that
they may do just what they like. Turkey enter-
tains a very different opinion, and if Austria and
Eugland,think as she does, France and Russia, as
a set-off, authorises, to a certain extent, the preten-
sions and the hopes of the Moldo-Wallachians.
These views, although so different and so opposed
to each other, have also for bawl, according to
their authors, the decisions of the . congress of
Paris. Both sides invoke the same article of the
treaty, and maintain that its wording is very clear.
If the Porte accepts the views of the unionists,
or submits to them, Moldavia and Wallachia will
no longer form part of the Ottoman empire. What
in fact under such conditions would be the value
of a formula which preserved to the Sultan the title
of Suzerain ? The Journal des Debuts thinks is
strange that the Porte should protest, but that is
the least it could do. Can the support which four
of the powers represented at the congress of Paris
have hitherto given to the unionists lead to the
belief that the pretensions of that party will be ad-
mitted ? The public is rather disposed to solve the
question in the affirmative. Hence the rumours
spread with regard of the prince who is to be called
on to govern constitutionally the Moldo-Walla-
chians. Prince Murat, and even the Prince de
Leuchtenberg, although be belongs to the imperial
family of Russia, were spoken of ; six months
ago a Belvieu prince was mentioned, as likewise a
prince of Nassau. But these rumours are mere
speculation, and it would he wrong to at, ach any
hut ortance to them. The journals speak on spe-
culation in stating that the sovereigns have come
to an understaUding on any particular name. But
if the Moldo-Wallachian deputies are agreed on the
question of the union, and if they demand, accord-
ing to their proeramerie, a foreign prince as an
hereditatiy sovereign, it is probable that they will
desienate the prince most worihy in their eyes of
reigning over Roumania. It may be taken for cer-
tain that their choice will not fall on either a Rus-
sian or an Austrian, and they will also set aside
any prince who, fr ern his origin, is subject to the
influence of one of the great States bordering on
the Danube. In the meantime Austria seeks to
prove that the last elections have not been free ;
and if she accepts them, it is because she considers
the matter as indifferent with respect to the defini-
tive organisation of the principalities. It may be
seen by this simplestateineut of facts that the ques-
tion of the Danubian principalities does not yet ap-
proach a solution."

The question of th Ge
successCEion to the throne of
Greece appears, from the following letter addressed
from St. Petersburg to the Constitutionner, to have
been brought under the notice of the Emperor of
Russia at Stuttgard by the Queen of Greece :
" It is known that Queen Amelia of Greece ar-
rived at Stuttgart during the meeting of the Em-
perors of the French and of Russia, and we learn
front a good source that her Majesty took advantage
of the occasion to speak with the Czar Alexander'
on the affair of the succession to the Greek throne.
King Otho having no hope of having children, the
succession goes to his brothers ; but they refuse to
submit to the emdition laid down in the Greek
constitution, and in the protocol of London, signed
by the protecting powers and by Bavaria, that the
King of Greece shell be of the orthodox Greek re-
ligion. Queen Amelia accordingly proposed that
Ler youngest brother, Elimar of Oldenburg, who
is 13 years of age, should be accepted in their
place. Her Majesty's proposition, which was con-
fidentially made, gave rise to no special conference
between the Emperor of Russia and the Emperor
of the French, as the matter will not demand the
intervention of the protecting powers for some time
to come."

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, OCT. 19.

In the evening of Saturday the principal credi-
tors of Boscovitz and Co. had a second meeting
with the represent dives of the Credit Bank, and
after a short discussion the following arrangement
was made :-1. The Credit Bank engages to
Vance from 30 to 50 per cent. on all bills bearing
the signature of Boscovitz and Co. ; that i., one-
third or one-half of the amount of the bill will be
advanced to the creditors on his consenting to
leave it as security in the hands of the Credit
Bank. 2. Each creditor gives a written pro-
mise to the Ciddit Bauk that, if the affairs of
the bankrupts are not wound up within °ix
months, or if the proceeds of their estate are not
equal to their debts, he will pay to the Bank
that part of the amount of the bill for which
it has no security. 3. The Credit Bank advances
money to the amount of )/000,0001, and, besides,
undertakes to mediate between the bankrupts and
th-ir creditors. 4.. As the public papers strongly
objected to the original proposition of the Credit
Bank, that its claims on the estate of the bank-
rupts should. have right of precedure and be
discharged in full, that institution expressed its
willingness to take its dance with the other
creditors if they consented to pay 2 per cent. for s
the money advanced. This last proposition I was
