SPAIN.

Tt.is Sail that the changes proposed to be made in
the Spanish note by Lord Palmerston, and acceded
to hy'Gneral Narvae7, are us follow :—The original
"There never existed on the part of the Spanish
Government the remotest intention of offering any
offence whatever to England, to the Queen ofEng-
land or to the English Government." Lord Palmer-
ifon made only the change of a single word in the
Vl::r...ti? • viz " Any offence whatever to Great
431'11 Admitted.

Tnat the resolution adop!ed (respecting Sir Henry
'Bulwer) was so adopted with much regret, and furcad
'by the grave circumstances of the moment. Lord
TaNerston suggested the word "alarming" instead
" grave." Admitted.
The English Government will add, and the Spanish
Government admits, beforehand, this (regret) with
respect to
,Sir Henry Bulwer.
The Government of her Britannic Majesty would
desire the return to Madrid of Sir Henry Bulwer,
whose services have not for a single instant ceased to
be agreeable and useful ; but, charged as he is with
an Important mission elsewhere, the Government
of her Britannic Majesty renounces re•accrediting
him, &c.

General Naryaez declares that notwithstanding the
untoward occurrence of 1848, his personal friendship
for gir Henry Bulwer continues unabated, and that
his 'only regret is not being able, at such a happy
moment of reconciliation, to grasp his former friend
by the hand. The whole of the Spanish Ministry and
(;Dirt do juitice to the spirit of frankness and goodwill
iltith Which Lord Palmerston met the advances of the
sii:ln6h Government. •
