remarks from the 7yEss the subject Of these pro-
positions II win be recolected that anticipated
these facts tive or three weeks ago.

trated about Is 900 troops in Madrid, with whom,

Emperor had ordered force Of fifty thousand caval
~ to assemble on The frontier a measure Of pre-
caution. For further comments on the spanish news
