SPAIN.
The following is the correspondence which took
place between M. PIDAL and Lord PALMERSTON on
the subject of the renewal of our diplomatic relations
with Spain :

No. 1.
SENOR PIDAL TO VISCOUNT PALMERSTON.
Madrid, March 30, 1850.
Most Excellent Sir,—The Spanish Government, which
deplores, and has always deplored, the state of inter-
ruption which has for some time past existed in the
diplomatic relations with the Government of her Majesty
the Queen of Great Britain, and the causes which have
produced this unfortunate state of affairs, desires no-
thing with more sincerity and good faith than the re-
newal of those relations in a manner worthy and suit
able to the character of the two Governments, and the
renewal of the ties which for ages have united two
friendly nations, bound, together by so many interests,
and by so many and such glorious recollections.
Animated by this desire, the Spanish Government
does not hesitate to give a new proof of the sincerity of
its sentiments, and of the high esteem in which it holds
the friendship of Great -Britain, by taking the initiative
in the steps destined to bring about a re-establishment of
the ancient relations.
The Spanish Government believes that, in order to
bring about so desirable an object, there is no occasion
to enter into a discussion of events already past. The
Government of her Catholic Majesty regrets and
deplores those events, and desires that they should be
sincerely and completely consigned to oblivion.
But the real state of the case, and, above all, the con-
sideration due to a friendly nation, require that the
Spanish Government should declare in the most explicit
and solemn manner, as by the present note it does, that
in the measures which in alarming circumstances it felt
called upon to adopt, it was not in any manner whatever
its intention to give the least offence to Great Britain, or
to hurt her dignity in the slightest manner.
If, in consequence of these proceedings, and of this
frank and explicit declaration, it should suit the Cabinet
of London► to re-establish the ancient diplo-
matic relations, the Spanish Government declares
itself ready to receive any Minister whom it
may please her Britannic Majesty to send
to Madrid, and it flatters itself that in the frank and
friendly manner in which the representative of England
will be treated, and in the efforts which, on its part, it
will make to draw closer the relations between the two
countries, the English nation will find a new proof of the
interest and importance which Spain attaches to the
friendship of Great Britain, and of the upright intentions
with which it is animated in this respeot.
The Government of her Catholic Majesty trusts, then,
that the step which it comes forward to take will not
prove ineffectual; and• that her Britannic Majesty's Go-
vernment duly responding thereto, relations of mutual
consideration and friendship will be re-established and
maintained in a firm and durable manner, in conformity
with ancient ties and recollections, and with the con-
venience and interest of both nations.
The undersigned, &c. PEDRO J. PIDAL.

VISCOUNT PALXERSTON TO SENOR PIDAL.
Foreign-office, April 23, 1850.
Sir,—The Government of • her Britannic Majesty has
received the note which has been addressed to it by
the Government of Spain through the intervention of
his Majesty the King of the Belgians, expressing the'
regret of the Spanish Government at the existing in-
terruption of the diplomatic relations between Great
Britain and Spain ; stating the earnest wish of the
Spanish Government that those relations should be re-
sumed ; declaring that in the circumstances which led
to their interruption the Spanish Government was not
actuated by any intention to give offence to Great Bri-
tain ; proposing that past events should be consigned to
oblivion ; and further saying that if in consequence of
this frank and explicit declaration it should suit the Bri-
tish Government to re-establish the ancient diplomatic
relations between the two countries, the Spanish Go-
vernment declares itself ready to receive any Minister
whom it might please her Britannic Majesty to send to
Madrid.

The British Government being as desirous as the
Government of Spain can be that those friendly rela-
tions which had so long subsisted between the two coun-
tries to their mutual advantage should be re-established
in a manner consistent with the honour and dignity of
both nations, accepts this overture in the same spirit of
conciliation in which it has been made; and the British
Government is willing, in accordance with the desire ex-
pressed by the Government of Spain, to consign past
events sincerely and completely to oblivion.
Her Majesty will therefore appoint a Minister to the
Court of Madrid.

If Sir; Henry Balwer had been at the present moment
unemployed, the deep interest which that Minister has
always taken in the prosperity of the Spanish nation and
in the honour and dignity and stability of the throne
of the Queen of Spain, would have led her Majesty's
Government to think that no person could have been
better qualified than he would have been to re-establish
in a solid and durable manner the diplomatic relations
between the two countries. But Sir Henry Balwer being
st present employed on the Queen's service elsewhere,
her Majesty will select some other suitable person to
represent her at the Court of Madrid; and in return the
British Government assures the Government of Spain
that any Minister whom the Queen of Spain may be
pleased to appoint to the Court of St. James's, will be
received with that cordiality which is due towards the
representative of a power connected with Great Britain
by ancient and most honourable ties.
I have, &v.,

GERMANY.

The following is a translation of the Prussian reply
to the Austrian circular of the 26th of April :
" Baron Prokesh Osten, the Austrian Ambassador
at this Court, has communicated to me a proclama-
tion of his Government, of which I enclose a copy, and
by which he is instructed to invite his Majesty's
Government immediately to send a plenipotentiary to
Frankfort-en-the-Main, for the purpose of entering
into consultation with all the members of the German
Confederacy, who have likewise received invitations
to the sense effect. The subjects of these consulta-
tions, as stated in the enclosed circular, are,
first, the constitution -of another • Interim' in the
place of that which expired on the Ist instant;
and, second, the revision of the federal constitution.
Her Majesty's Government sympathises with the re-
gret which is expressed in the said dispatch at the
unfavourable result of the preliminary negotiations
between Prussia and Austria on this subject; but his
Majesty's Government shares likewise the conviction
of the duty which is incumbent upon all members of the
Confederation, to take care that the affairs of the Con-
federation shall not want a general direction, and to
assist in the suitable reformation on a legal basis of
the federal constitution, which is not, indeed, appli-
cable to the relations and circumstances of the present
time.
His Majesty's Government has made certain
proposals for the institution of another Provisional
Government. These proposals, it teemed to his Ma-
jesty's Government, offered the easiest solution, and
appeared most applicable to the facts of the case.
And, having done this, the Government of his Ma-
jesty the King cannot submit to any responsibility, since
the non-acceptance of these proposals has caused a la-
mentable delay, and since the Interim has expired
without any arrangements having been entered into
to provide for a new one. The same facts of the case
to which I alluded above determine the stand which
his Majesty's Government takes in its consideration
of the questions relating to the revision of the
federal constitution. The recognition of these
facts alone can promote that harmony of views on the
principles on which the future creation is to rest, and
the absence of which is so justly lamented by the Aus-
triau Qoyerument, glace it hits hitherto preveuted the

msuacdce.ess of any attempts at union which may hate been

"These facts are, not only the events and federal re-
solutions of 1848, but also the Austrian charter of a con-
stitution dated the 4th of March, 1849, and the Austrian
claim (which is, indeed, most closely connected with that
charter) of extending the federal relations to the whole
of the Austrian MonarChy, and not less the more con-
fined league which a large number of German States
(,(without prejudice to their federal duties) entered into by
'the treaty of the 26th of May, 1549. It is, therefore, the
ground of sacred rights and treaties, and the matter of
fact ground of existing circumstances, on which Prussia
stands in taking her resolutions.
"As for the expedient which the Austrian Go-
vernment proposes, of convoking a Congress of all
members of the Confederacy, his Majesty's Go-
vernment can only promise to submit the plan to
the consideration of its allies. His Majesty the King,
my gracious lord and master, has fur that very pur-
pose issued an invitation to his princely allies
to meet him, in company with their responsible Minis-
ters, on the Bth inst., at Berlin, to consult on their joint
plans and prospects. Any steps which his Majesty's
Government may in future take must depend on the re-
sult of their consultations.
" But his Majesty's Government is compelled, in the
very outset, to protest against the assumptions of the en-
closed dispatch of the Austrian Government, which
refers to the Articles 5 and 6 of the Federal Act,
and which seem to presuppose that the Congress
which possibly may meet at Frankfort shall meet
on the strength of the late presidential
functions of Austria, and that such Congress is to
represent the Plenum' of the late Federal Council.
Against these assumptions his Majesty's Government
records its most conclusive protest. The Federal
Council was dissolved
,by the legal resolutions of 1848,
and the late presidential functions stand on that dissolu-
tion. The only light in which we can consider the
summons to a Congress is that of an invitation which
has been sent to the individual Governments. Nothing
is more natural, and indeed justifiable, than that the
Austrian Government should invite other Governments
to consult on matters of common interest, but we can-
not allow that this invitation be bound up with a' pre-
clusion,' or with other prejudicial consequences for
those Governments which, perhaps, may think proper to
decline taking part in these deliberations. The only
consequences of bitch deliberations which can apply to
such Governments are, that their results do not apply to
them. Those who attend at Frankfort will consult
on arrangements which apply solely and exclusively to
them, but they will not by any means be entitled to
pass general orders in the name and by virtue of the
Confederation. His Majesty's Government thinks it a
duty to make an early and open declaration of its prin-
ciples, while it reserves all other resolutions and decla-
rations for consultation with its own allies.
" Your Excellency will oblige me by communicating
this dispatch to the President of the Austrian Cabinet.
