SPANISH CABINET.


The appointment Of two of the Spanish
ministers is merely temporary; admiral Cis-
neros is the only one whose nomination is
defnitive. He was viceroy of Buenos Ay-
res when the insurrection took place there.
M. Joseph Imaz, whose appointment is only
temporary, formerly held place in the f.
nancial department, and has the reputation
of being an honest man. Marquis de GAIA
d'Yrugo was, at different periods. minister
from Spain to the United States, and at Rio
Janeiro. II is thought that he will remain
in his present office only till the return Of
the Spanish minister, the duke Of San Car
