ened to have distinctly repudatcd all intention to treat the
the United States with dsrespec during
his residence in Madrid, and then to have added:

new course by the recall destituton) OF Mr. Souc, the
Spanish has thought proper to undertake more
thorough investigation 81 the question. The utmost impair
tality Shall preside this investigation as to complete
satisfy the United States If should be found that really
there any PREPARATION due them At all events the gov
quite that good relations between the
two countries will not be interrupted
sThe French paper from which make the above quota
rather maciously comments on the remarks oil the
Spanish minister and suggests that pride will i'll brook
that the recall Mr. Souc should be represented in public
Cores a satisfaction given to Spain. The French word
detuon would perhaps be better rendered by dsmssai
than recall do know what term actually used by
the Spanish minister but whether he spoke of Mr. Soule
dismissed recalled and whether not the sending another
American representative Madrid be be not in fact
was or was not represented be satisfaction given
SPAIN L. American, and jealous any other of
the honor and dignity of country think that that salts
fha ITntte m

18th OF February find report Of the speech of the Min
lister of State on the referred now which is pro-
nounced by that paper be exact transcript OF the
daily journal of the Cortes in which it seems all the
speeches are reported length 1t may be considered the
report Of Mr. uzurga himself and the Spanish words used
are these
Por 10 demas debo dec que lie Gobierno de los Ests
doUnidos en- rs (me parece) de Enero umo determine
reempaza minstro que lie representaba en- esa corte
A literal translation of which into Language
would read
"a. TO what remains should say that the government
OF the determined the 18th day Of January
last replace the minister who represented them at this
eourtr
The speech then goes to that this discrimination
Of the President Of the United States conveyed in Ian
guae which treasured her Majesty that the government Of
the United States entertained toward her
sentiments of friendship and good will and that hereupon
direction had been given to bestow study upon the
questions OF difference between the two nations Thai
the language in which this determination Of the President
TO accept Mr. Soules resignation transmitted peir
was but the ordinary form Of the Department Of State
