they made attempts TO- get in, but Mr.. Ross and his
followers contrived, between pushing and expostu

There are disagreeable reports about, concerning
reactionary measures said to be urged upon tho
Queen by certain persons connected with previous
Madrid, to quit the palace by tho back entrance,
leading to the Casa del Campo and TO establish tho
seat Of government elsewhere. Whero ia the,

to the King Of Portugal is not new one. It has
been long very general and very popular in the prn
cpal cities OF Spain, ard nearly year ago COM

OF the French, and am disposed to believe Of the
English government is, that Espsrtero shall succeed

may render such solution, temporary as it may be,
impossible.
The nomination Of General Cordova, and the at.

was SO excited that the new Cabinet, Of which tho
Duke de Rivas was the head, and which was com.

fell soon after its formation, as You may remember
