nell as first Vice President of the Cortes. 1t
true, as stated by one of the newspapers that
efforts are being made to form Ministry with
Espartero and O'Donnell, and to retain in it
NJ. Lugan and Nj. Callado, members Of the ex-
listing Cabinet. Marshal Espartero appears to
be animated with the most conciliatory inten-
tons. The situation of the finances causes
great disquietude, and no one in any party ap-
pears capable of remedying it. The govern
ment has resolved not to persist in its request
to the Washington Cabinet for the recall of Mr..
Soule. AS soon as the Cortes shall have been
regularly constituted, the Ministry will wait on
the Queen to renew the offer of its resignation.
The Cortes to-day have been engaged in dis
cussing the standing regulations proposed by a
committee. The Marquis d'Albaida has OBJ
jected to having so many as six Vice Presi-
dents, but the committee insists on that mum.
Der. The point has not yet been decided
From the London Morning Chronicle.
An American Citizen in Trouble In Dem
mark-HarrO Harring.
COPENHAGEN, Nov. "a, l854.--A character
istic event has taken place here. You know
the famous Harro Harring. By birth North
tristan, he has for many years been an Ameri-
can citizen. He is now the legal agent of a
North American company which intends to
establish steam and sailing packet communi-
cation between Tonning, in the Danish duchy
of Schleswig, and Aspinwall, Panama, via
Southampton (England,) New York and Saint
Thomas. His agency documents signed by
banking and shipping firm in New York, were
confirmed by the Danish consulate there. His
passport as an American citizen was issued by
the Diplomatic Department in Washington,
and vised by the Consulate in New York, and
the Danish Embassy in London. His memo
randum or manuscript detailing the CONNER
cial plans in question, was delivered by him in
London, and forwarded by General Oxholm,
the Danish Minister, on the 9Th of October, to
Copenhagen, to pave the way for further trans
actions.
Harro Harriny arrired here accordingly on
Wednesday, and icas Immediately transported
as criminal to The police-oBice, although his
papers aoere ip perfect order. The American
Minister here, Bedinger, promptly interfered,
and the policemaster (Brestrup) allowed him
to lodge at the Hotel d'Angleterre. Harring
had then an interview with the Foreign Minis
ter (Bluhme) which lasted half an hour. The
result was that he was compelled to leave Co.
penhagen instantly, and took his. departure
yesterday at two o'clock, by the steamer Sch
leswig, to return to London, via Kiel and
Hamburg You may think this incredible,
and inexplicable, but it is true, and quite natu-
raj. Harro Harring took part in the Polish
rising in. 1880. This is sufficient. Therefore
was he expelled from Norway some years back
by the Russian Oscar, and therefore he is now
driven from Danish ground by the Russisn
Bluhme. Russian reclamations have insisted
on this step, and Bluhme has obeyed. So
much for law and freedom under the present
Ministry Mr.. Bedinger will probably not let
the matter end here.

There are rumors Of another fllibusterinp

in the movement was endeavoring to raise

says Of him:
at will be remembered that he made an at

the necessary force to make another attempt.
Whether his commission is valid or not, he is

In this matter, and not be led astray by mag.
