Inc Carsts had confidently expected that the pro-
mitigation of the act OF abcaiion of Don Carlos and
the manifesto OF his son, would have been most ia
voraby received by the Spanish nation and the
Spanish people. But precisely the reverse has
been the case; Both government and people seem
determined that on no consideration whatever,
shall the young Queen marry the son of Don Car
los. Immediately on the abdcatlon becoming
known IN Madrid, several councils of mini
sters were held, and it was proposed to issue
counter-manlfesto; but this was abandoned in COM
plance, as is said, with the earnest wishes Of
Christina. Since then, however, the violent, hot
headed, and clustering Narvaaz has issued order
to the army, in which he declares, in the most deci

The Ameer of Cabool is said openly to have
abandoned all idea of invading Peshawur-moved
chiefly thereto by the belief that we are about to
