THE SPANISH MINISTER.

Don CALDERoN DE La BARcA, who has repre-
scented the Government Of Spain IN this country for
many years. will leave for Madrid in few days, to
enter upon the new duties which have been assigned
to him at home. His residence here, we are happy
to know, has been in every respect agreeable to
the high esteem which his uniformly liberal and
enlightened demeanor has universally secured for
him. He will carry away with him the sincere
respect Of all with whom he was associated. We
cannot but indulge the hope that his long residence
in our country may have given him such knowledge
of our institutions, and such acquaintance with our
national and international policy, that in the re-
sponsible position which he is about to fiji in Spain
he may contribute to the maintenance of those ami
cable relations between his Government and our
own which II rhaa DO the DESIRE as 1T certainly Is
the interest, Of both to perpetuate.-J Union.
