Gen. SerIano, who had BEEN for many months
the iavorite in the palace, and de tacto King of
all the SPANS, began to entertain msgivngs of his
hold on the royal affections and certain Col Gan
dara appeared in the salons Of majesty to attract
cntion, which alarmed the fears of the former flvo-
rite. These apprehensions became more lively when
Il was observed that the minister of Salamanca, and
his associates maintained close relations with this
same Col. Gandara. In Short il became apparent
that the ministry were disposed to play off Col Gan
dara against Gen. Serrano. 1t might be asked why
the latter would not ssel have served the purpose
of the ministry; but the answer to this is, that he
was moi disposed to go along with Them in the sys-
tenn of policy which they desire to pursue. Be this
as il may 1t is certain that Gen. Serrano perceived
what going forward, and, fearing decline ofhis
influence, accepted overtures made to him by the
agents OF Gen. Narvaez; in consequence Of which,
meeting was brought about between Gen. NarvaeZ;
in consequence OF which, meeting was brought
about between Gen. Narvaez and Gen. Serrano and
their common friend General Ros de Olano, on the
morning Of the Sd inst The result Of their confer
ence was compromise, the conditions Of which
were not ut first known but have since become up

returned during the night, and appeared there also
| A cabinet council was held at one in the morning
| at which General Narvaez was introduced by Gena-
raj Ros dc Olano, and demanded the collective resi-
gnation Of the ministers. Nothing could exceed
the establishment manifested by all, Salamanca OK
cepted who listened to the communication with
apparent apathy The resignation Of the ministers
was signed on the spot, and appeared in the Gazette
| Of the next morning. Narvaez thus became prime
minister with cabinet of his own creatures.
| On the following Saturday, tile 9th instant a new
surprise reserved for the public in Madrid. This
was nothing less than the public announcement OF
the fall of Gen Serrano, of him who had exercised
the real power of the sovereign for SO long time.
The Gazette of that day announced that the avorite
had accepted the captain generalshp of Grenada and
| would depart for his post on the following Monday
| which he accordingly did.
We must now shift the scene. While these things
were going forward Narvaez secretly communicated
| with the Queen Dowagcr Christina, in Paris, and in
vited her Majesty to return TO Madrid, and resume
her position and influence in the palace. These com
muncations, however, were kept most profound Sc
crets, being impaired as il is asserted to none ex
cept the husband of the Queen Dowager Qhe Duk,
Of Rianzarez) and her uncle, King Louis Philippe
The departure wis decided upon, but II was essentia
that until the actual arrival of Christina in Madrie
the movement should be kept secret especially from
the British embassy, and this was accordingly man
aged with that adroitncss for which the Queen Dow
ager has always been so remarkable.
Queen Christina resides in Paris in palace in thu
Rue de Courceles, in the Faubourg du Roule. II
right of her ex-Majesty, guard Of honor is posted
this palace whenever she is there, being Withdrawn
OF course, when she leaves for the country or else
where. Previously TO the 9th instant, the Queen
with her suite, was resident there, which fact wa
manifested TO the public by the presence OF the guard
besides her public receptions ana her reported visit

palace Presently three individuals habited en- bour
geois, issued from tho gate gentleman, lady, AM
