seen, have turned successfully for the ministry One

been reelected hundred and fortyhve have lost
their elections, and hundred and fifty four did not
belong TO the last Congress. Since the withdrawal of
M. Bravo Murlo, the late president OF the council.
General Roncai has been nominated to that Office. He
is one OF the officers who distinguished himself in the
War OF the Succession and governor general of
Cuba during Lopezs first expedition His experience in
the government OF that colony may have contributed to
his elevation 10 that high office, for there is evidently
feeling of great disquieiude existing in Spain 10 its
possessions in the Antilles. The papers continue to an

would appear that the Bank Of San Fernando, at Madrid
had agreed TO make an advance TO the government of
hftytwo millions OF reals the credit OF the receipts at
Havana in 1854. We learn, through other channels,
that both M de Salamanca and NJ. Banner, one OF the
representatives IN Madrid OF kothschilds house, have
proceeded 10 Paris in relation TO the financial affairs OF
of the great national enterprises which the govern

who elected him. This gave 10 the dissolution OF
the Chambers and it is therefore rather surprising that
bv the very latest accounts received from Madrid the
government should have fixed upon NJ Martinez de la
