The Spanish Ninstera2po 'orthis post. senior

there con be 10 doubt, ba- not get arrived. We
may certainly expect something from him when
ever be does come a. the tone Of the Engl.h press
it,en will already have led you to suspect The
calm Of bis predecessor, Senior Pacheco, las eft
behind the most plea,Dg sOHc'RrS. Nnen he
learned the fall OF Gen. O'DOnnel, he lmmedi
atey wrote to the Government Of Naryael. -ayisg:

better than before that there Wi, be tor the present

called him bach from PARIS, but the Qa,eu cannot
siWASs de- prcclscl' what She would like. senior
Taseara ha, awakened many fears among the men
Of his own party, and excited many r'alreS; 50
they see him GO with pleasure. and would not. per

If YOU would like comprehensive key 20
every explanation of how the Ministerial diiicutic,
which have held all the world of Madrid IN -Is-
pence for ~ long time have been resolved, bring
ing the Cabinet 1T this moment INTO a state OF ad
mlrablc calm, ! Will say that IN tins Cabinet
though there may appear 10 be seven Minister'S the
fact has shown that there is only one. The supe-
riur will of Naryaez, his energy and hrnness put
the zeal upon all questions, aud control all other
wills lie IL The Minister, aud the rest are his sec
retaries Perhaps this Is the Onl manner 10 which
the Spanish Government could be administered M
the actual position OF parties. have already told you
that the removal of Urbstoudo from the Department
Of War WAS Il skillful mGneuyer OF NarvacZ against
the influence of the AbsolutstS In fact the faction
headed b, General IcIuta sees H. hopes "i coming
INTO power frustrated for the present and the
continuation ot Gen COnCha in the island OF CUBA
shows that Naryacz Is resisting 10 considerable
degree the efforts Of the reaction Again, lie show
himself a good deal less tied to the influence
Of France than some of hls predecessors. Ga TINS
roint il must be- confessed Nnrvarz j. highly nde
ptndent He has shown great desire to renew
relations with Russia aud the accounts OF the extra
ordinary missions hch have been sent respective
" to either Court will be familiar to you through
the public press. Russia Is far from SPAN. and
her ahsOutIst policy can exercise but little ln1u-
cnce upon the inferior affairs Of that country; hut
the Russian representative al Madrid j. the onl!
foreign Minister who can aid at ALL At present Ia
hold in check the doIunecring spirit OF She tlubaSs!
of France. The English legation at Madrid Is power
less Al this time while that OF the United States.
which could and ought 70 be more influential al
Madrid than every other, j., III TACT moi worm
mentioning. The influence most a. he feared M
Spain is always that OF France, on account OF
the pre-, slencc of French manners among the de-
generate SpanIards who have their country houses
IN the Pyrcnec,, and take with wonderful effect the
mineral waters Of Nichy aud the sea baths OF
Biarritz.
Narvacz may have seemed 10 be the most apt u
suffer the pressure OF France, Judging rom the ei-
forts of the European press to present INN ~ an
AID de camp -fthe Emperor, from hs long reNdcuce
in that country his love for the French style OF H.

elevation TO power. But ii spite 81 a. thu. l re
peat 10 YOU that Gen Naryacz Is creating political
SiiusiiOn as tar as possible independent OF France
and this is euhstinc for him n considerable degree OF
Sympathy IN Spain.
With regard to Rome, the policy OF Gen. Naryae1
is slso that of resistance ~ further reaction he
kug has lost N great part his means OF acton on
