The following slip, cut from The Discussion,
Democratic organ of June TO- gives some idea Of
the state of feeling at Madrid:
"The Porlamento Gays it appears that an indspo-
stion Of Sr Lafragua has prevented the continuation
Of the conferences between him and our Minister OF
State relative to the question with Mexico. Wednes-
day, the 18th instant, the day set for continuing
them.
"For our own part we understand that conference
did take place on Wednesday last between Sr. La
fragua and the Minister Of State, which lasted from
5 O'clock in the afternoon till o'clock at night.
Meantime while conferences for the pacific solution Of
this question drag along with the greatest slow.

roints where hostilities would commence in Of
rupture. This confirms what have before been
saving about this question: Mexico Is preparing her
forces and seeking the support of the United States,
while here the conferences are continued at long in
tervals.
"This weak and anti patriotic conduct Of our Gov
eminent is being made the subject of the severest
cepsure from the Ministerial journals themselves,
who in this matter question Of the national
honor"
The press of the Provinces has come up unani-
mously to the call of the journals Of Madrid to
stand forth for the liberty Of free printing now me-
naced by the project Of law introduced to the COrtes
by the Minister of the Interior 1t is of no use.
The law will certainly be voted and that screw
more be put OH to keep down the expansive forces
of the new ideas which are generating among the
Spanish people.
Meantime two fractions Of the governing party
having fallen by the ears, and hot controversy
having been excited between two of the MOderadO
Journals the DidriO Espaa0l and the Orbe, which
was bringing to light mutual sins that it was not
proper the people should know about high act Of
dictatOral authority has in moment cut short the
life of the OrJe and caused the DariO to hush up,
as well as the Occidtntc and other journals which
were getting drawn into the debate. very natural
inquiry suggests itself: If acts such this can be
committed by the Government, in cOntravention of
the Constitution and the laws, what need have they
of a new law to regulate the Press at their pleas
ure!
The fact is, the Government of Spain is really not
constitutional nor absolute, at present, but its
character is still revolutionary; and though it is in
its phase Of reaction all these efforts to make SER
vile COrtes legalize and make permanent this reac
ton are useless. The only reliance of the Govern
ment is in its force, and the degree of violence
which it can exercise through it's material power
upon the wishes and aspirations of the people. 1t
will do still for little time, but in few months
you may expect to the whole thing overturned
and the people once more uppermOst. The absO-
lutism Of to-day is but phase of the great Spanish
revolution which latteily recommended by the u,ur
patiODs of the Crown in 1852, and has not yet
reached its conclusion.
A great deal has been said in these days about the
probable removal of the French ambassador at
Madrid from his post, and the newspapers represent
the thing as settled. The fact and secret of the
matter, suspect is that the Emperor IS very much
resolved to have the MeXcan-Spanish affair set
tied peaceably, while his ambassador, though he
certainly abors zeaosly in that field, seems to meet
with considerable difficulty in bringing the matter to
settlement on account of the hostile feeling and
exaggerated pretensons of the Spaniards. The
new spaper talk about his removal may be nothing
more than hints thrown out to stimulate him to still
greater exertions by keeping before him the penalty
in case he should fail.
