England.-In Parliament, a discussion had
occurred on Spanish affairs. Lord Palmerston,
in answer to question, stated that there was
nothing at present which could lead in any
way to an interference by the French Govern.
ment in the affairs of Spain. That the EN-
peror of France, as a just man, would feel that
foreign interference would be unjust He was
also man of great sagacity, and events had
shown that interference heretofore with Span
ish difficulties had been attended with disaster
to those interfering. There was no reason, he
said, for apprehending that Napoleon had any
such intention.
The London Times mentions project to

London, Saturday.-The Morning Aduer-
ttser Bays that the American question may be
regarded as virtually settled, and it will proba-
bly, be announced in the speech of Her Majesty
on the propagation of Parliament. The terms
agreed upon are-"tha the Bay Islands revert

never to cede them to any other Power, or al
low interference with their affairs. America,

ment, and joins in the tripartite treaty with
Honduras to carry the agreement into effect
France also is consenting party to the agree
ment, and has expressed a readiness to sign
the treaty, if it is deemed necessary"
France-The intentions of the French Gov
eminent regarding Spain had been the subject
OF much speculation in Paris. 1t is said that,
if General O'Donnel be successful, France can
have no occasion to interfere. On the other
hand, should the Liberals succeed, and the
Queen be required to abdicate in favor of the
Princess Austrasias, with Espartero as Regent,
neither would France interfere. But if the
Duchess Montpensier should become the next
heir to the throne, or should Republic be pro-
claimed, then France would invade Spain.
Prince Lucien Bonaparte had gone on a mis-
