cordat with the Pope in the public square.
II il six days since received the particulars
OF themoA mont which was suppressed b.
the Government.

cut short by the long sabre Of the Minister

Th naw of proximate excommunion Of
thc nation ,y his holiness whch has already
circulated in every direction, hiss not pro
ducad such terror IN Spanish consc.enecs ~
was hoped. Il looks really as if spiritual
thunder without tn" aid Of thumb-serews
and faggots, had lost It's force even in Spain.
Little besides the agitation Of this rup-
ture with Rome, is there to tell Of out OF
Spain IN it's history for the past week.
The forced loan has produced thus far vol
unfairly million and half Of dollars, and
IT the time for voluntary subscription were
prolonged, as perhaps il will be. the nccessi-
ty Of forcing any considerable part of it NAV
be avoided. II will b" lemaiA 5erei that the
paper Of this loan Will ne taken at par biz
tn Government in payment Of lands relcas-
Ell from mortnain By tile recent law Of the
tortes. This will keep ii up--forced or not
fortei. IN many p!rts, undoubtedly, the
decrease OF the cholera will also improve the
financial prospects Of the country. The
wheat will be reaped at least, and famine and
misery avoided to that extent.
There il no doubt that the force Of the ep-
idemie is declining, upon the whole, though
there are still some points terribly seourgcl
anew. Valencia, which WAS decimatcd
about eight months since, has just lost more
than thousand Of It's remaining population
by the disease in two tavs. TIT Madrid the
cases are limited to forty or fifty duly, as
heretofore.
There is gooi deal Of talk lately about
the intrigues of the Court at the Escurial,
and il is pretty generally understood that the
Queen is doing all in her power to keep on
good terms personally with the Pope, and
that the idea Of separating herself US much
as possible from the people in this business
~ her desire and intention.
Poor Isabel | greatly fear she has not
