You may rely upon it that matters in Spain hurry
ing to crisis, and that coup daat in which ODonnell
will probably act important (though secondary part
is daily becoming and probable. When that
coup dat to let off, is probably better known in
tain circles in this metropolis than in Madrid; Mr. Caldc
do Ia Barca the fork Spanish Minister TO the United
States, to be waiting for it, to return TO Washing
ton. Esparcro very old, parties in Spain violent
and new and there is not particle Of sincerity in any Of
the members of the Royal family When you reflect that
since Louis XIV, Spain taken under special
French protection and that the position Of Protector Of
Spain is, at this moment peculiarly inviting, you will
readily understand that il becomes tho United States
watch events in that quarter.
The protection Of Spain implies, to certain extent at
least the protection OF her colonies, and the relation
which these may bear the ncghborng continent 1t
perhaps, Insignificant that Spain should, at this
mont, send large feet to the Antilles and the Gulf of
Mexico to ask satisfaction for the claims Of her citizens
subjects, from the weak government Of Mexico Such
expedition, backed by the influence of France and
England, may overthrow the government Of General
Comonforperhaps tho most energetic and reformatory
which that unfortunate country has enjoyed for the
ton years Whohor the sending Of such large fleet by
Sran aided and abettcd perhaps by France and England
may interfere with the Monroe doctrine must leave
the decision OF the government in Washington. Mexico is
rich country, and at the time weak one, where
things may be had for the asking Of thcm and she is
be dsmembcred, Spain, her old sepmother, may well
cm share OF her. II territory in that quarter Is to be
had for money Spain has large unscttledlcaim which
may be lquatcd in that way, the territory may be

scnce of Spanish fleet in the Gulf of Mexico may induce
the presence Of similar fleet from England and Franc,
to watch her. and thereby materially influence the posi-
ton Of things Central America unless Walker and his
friends terminate the campaign before Spain has taken her
position.
The five small States OF Central Amcrica-Nicsnagua
Costa Rica, G uatcmala Honduras and San sstvador-

and the Spanish provinces Of South America had done
The Spnniards withdrew from Central America after they
had been defeated north and SOUTH and the Contra
American States being left to themselves obliged
to form one or more Independent governments What Ii
Spain were now TO attempt to take possession or her
own without reference to the Clayton Bulwer treaty and
in direct violation Of the Monroe doctrncs The profound
sccresy with which all political questions are managed
herea secrcsy which hardly enables ministers to know
what Is going on, what will be done to morrow--rcn-
ders prudence on our part the more necessary France
has this moment, larger force than she probably
employ in Europe military enterprise in Africa would
hardly sufficiently employ the French navy and would
haast tie finances OF the country without the distant
hope adequate return; while small force employed
on the Atlantic and In the Pacific might accomplish great
things merely by It's presence and but little TO the ord
to- instead OF diminishing, tho available means OF the
treasury have in several Of my previous letters, al
ludcd to the intimate relations existing between Spain
and France, and tho danger with which that intimacy
may be fraught to the United States In this 1t is
not ministry looking TO popular support, which may
adopt peaceful or warlke policy but single man,
who needs only to will to be implicitly obeyed by thirty
hye milions Of people
