Our advlces tor Madrid are to the 10th of July
The Queen is still at Barcelona. Statements OF
the most contradictory kind have been made to
the intention OF her Majesty to 10 this capital,
or to voyage in the Basque Provinces the Ministers

physicians recommending the latter II is ques-
ton, however, of little Importance though probably
it will be eventually decided against Ministers Il \

the idea of the Queen visiting these PROVINCES ls
that the people being for the most part adherents OF
Don Carlos, may perhaps make demonstrations in
favor of her Maesty's marriage with the Prince of

whether their choice Oft time is prudent.
The Carlists have done nothing; but from the
measures the Government has taken, 1t seems to be
thought not improbable that they may attempt To
| force a marriage between Don Carlos's son and the
Queen, by an appeal to arms, though their leading
mexlbers loudly disclalm any intention.

taken, unless II be the refusal OF the motion made
