The Empecinado, who was arrested, has
been set at liberty.
Ii is said as certain, that the Bishop OF
Osma, President Of the Ex-Resency, has
received orders to quit Madrid.
A London paper remarks, that the above
Intelligence is Of considerable interest;
but not OF a nature to bear fixed aud de:

bis disappointment. But the great ques'
ton still remains unresolved--will the re-
moyal of this individual cause any change
in the measures OF King Ferdinand? There
are not sufficient data to answ er this ques-
tioB. 1t is true the whole ministry has been
changed with one exception-lhe Minister
of Marine.
We should even doubt this exception,
and suspect that he remained in office
merely 10 countersign the decree Tor the
removal of bis colleagues, and the ap.
pointment of their successors. VI the
new nominations, We recognise as public,
or European characters, only the Marquis
Of Casa lrujo. He 10 described as q man
Of talent. All that we recollect OF him is.
that he was under either prosecution or
impsa chment for bis share in tue cessIon
OF the FIoridas 10 the U. States. and that
after the revolution OF 1890 he was re-
moved from bis embassy at Paris ~tbough
be was very willing to continue as The
representative OF the Constitutional, as be
had been OF the absolute King. But the
Constitutionalists suspected him OF certain
understandings with the French govern

is further TO be observed that, in the Ie-
vived Council Of State, two Members OF
the Regency, Calderan and De Ia Tore
as we'll as Erro, the Finance Minister oil
the Regency, anc a creature, we under,
stand, OF Saez, has been included. The
Duke San Carlos 10 nominated q member.
Il may may be rash to pronounce that this
change Of ministry will have no effect in
renderiDga the government Of Spain less
inclined to vindicste oppression and per-
secution; but i, seems equally rash 10 con-
eeive any hope Of an opposite nature
The most feasible inierence is. that the
change has been produced by foreign in

tended to make Ferdinand more lmP'leit-
