Affairs In Europe.
We have received our letters and papers by the
Hiberna. The political news is interesting in va
yious points of view.
We learn, by this arrival, that very gross and
unwarantable insult was offered to the American
Minister, at a ball in Madrid. The particulars will
be found in another column, under the usual head
This is very important matter, and may yet lead
10 trouble betw cen the two countries If il had
proceeded from person occupying no Office of i'm
portance il might be passed over without thought;
but coming, as il did, from Narvaez, who is a re-
sponslbe person, well high Office holder
under the Spanish government, the matter cannot
be looked over; but, on the contrary, ought to be
explained away. If the naughty Spaniard did
really, as is reported, openly, and without cause
insult our minister at the of Madrid, and il
ne should follow il up in his diplomatic intercourse

VIII demand that ample reparltion be made if il
should extend even to the dismissal of the author
of the outrage. The governments of Europe must
be taught TO respect representatives no matter
what the cost may be- The more intelligent of
them render TO US that respect which is our due;
and such oftem will not do so-or as in this case

lesson that they will not forget. We are disposed
TO remain in peace and amity with Spain, as well
with all other European nations; but, to secure
continuance of such relations, such oc currences
as this must not take place.
The Greek dispute, which has occasoned so
much talk among European politicians, and has
been managed with so little tact, or common sense
on the par, Of the English ministry, is still the to-
pic Of general discussion After Lord Palmersten

plmenied him with a vote of confidence in signit-
cation of its approval of his conduct in regard to
Greece. The whole matter, as il now stands, APP
pears a still more ridiculous light than il did even
at FIRST Here is minister, who, for the purpose Of
showing that he is not afraid of Russia the great
eet power in Europe, attacks Greece, the smallest
and weakest state on that continent. lie dare not,
however, disregard the remenstrances which are
urged against such course of policy by Russia.
Though not in the position TO 60 to war with any
one, he rejects the mediation of France after he
has already accepted il, and gets into quarrel with
that power. Instead of endeavoring now 10 settle
quietly as possible the whole difficulty in re-
gard 70 this matter, which so seriously compromises
the position of great power like Great Britain
he persists in the course he has taken nj first and
the question is debated at length in both houses
OF Parliament without any regard to the ex-
uemely humiliating nature OF the whole case. The
dispute Of course will be settled 10 the point
of being So in despite Of the fighting humor Of Lord
Palmerston and his colleagues /; as there is no
chance, under existing circumstances of a rupture
between England and any Of the great powers of
Europe. Whether the present ministry will 20
out not, we do not spprehend that anything
serious will grow of this quarrel in regard TO
Greece
The assault on the Queen BY a retired lieutenant
in the British army, named Robert Pate, has caused
good deal Of sensation in England as it appears
that the perpetrstor was perfectly sane when he
committed the act and the loyal people of Her
Majesty are al loss TO comprehend the motive
fkat led to such a cewardly attack. As no serious
injury was contemplated the object Of the assault
seemed to have been the same which leads to the
commission Of many other foolish acts, viz the
love Of gaining noioriety among men and name
IN history. The criminal will, Of course, be locked
up TO await his trial.
From Prussia, we learn Of the effect Of the new
Law relating to the press. which was published
some time ago. No lees than one hundred jour
nails will be prevented from appearing, in conse-
quenee Of the refusal Of the Prussian post Office,
TO transmit them as it is authorized to do under the
new law. The whole liberal press has been stopped
IN consequence Of this measure; and no more

The question in relation 20 the duchies of

resumed on the part Of Denmark. before long.
