upon Mslicsns and not upon Spaniards Further
than this Sr. LafraQua has welded nothing

upon MsIcsns and not upon Spaniards. Further
than this Sr. Lafrsgua has yielded notamg.
The demand on the part Of Spain that the subject
Of the Convention should be considered at the same
time has also been distinctly refused
Sr. Lafrsgua 10 at this moment preparing memo
randum directed to the Mexican Ministers near the
different Governments Il Europe and America con
corning the actual position Of these questions, after
which be will retire from Spain.
TIE matter ia difficult one for the Spanish Gov
eminent to manage. They cannot accept anything
which Mexico seems likely to offer without exposing
themtelges immediately 10 effective and relentless
attacks from all parties Of the Opposition.
Tie impression has been created in Spain and
font nted By the manifest Of the Government
ITSELF that the ASSASSINATION OF Spanish supjects III
Mexico was more OF less directly the work OF the
Ulcers and troops Of the Mexican Government, AMI
to take any other view Of the matter now Is Prac
teal aud political mpOssbility on the part OF the
present Cabinet
This is not the only subject of perplexity on our
side the Atlantic for the present Cabinet OF SPaih'
The removal of the Captain General of Cuba from
his cost has been decided upon in Cabinet Council,
and his successor selected. But the matter Is deli
cate one, and might be attended with some danger
10 the ties which bind the ever'atbu island 10 the
mott er country. The power Of Governor-Captaln-
General as COncha exercises it, gives some symp-
toms of becoming an Independent one. He fills the
source is drained for what it will yield. / have
heard from good authority that Marshal, the Mar
ouis of the Duero COncha's brother, and one OF
the most DOW erful Generals in the Spanish army,
ON learning that the Cabinet had determined to re
move Don Jose from command IN Cuba, went I'M
mediatey to the Queen in person and said to
her. " Mira, Sonora, que mi hermano no es hombre
"ons Sc destituye ~ Look, my Lady, my
brother is not man to be dismissed from his
" Office" "My brother will return whenever
"your Majesty desires, but be is not man to be
dismissed" The fact is that, though the Cabinet
resolution was taken, as l have said, some time
since Gen. Lersundi has not chosen to set out Tor
the command to which he was named; and 1t IS
quite probable Gen. Concha will be allowed to stay
out his natural term Of Office until October next II
he chooses. =,
Four vessels of war are officially admitted by the
Government to have been sent to the coast of Mex
leo but with orders simply to cruise on that grount,
and they have no orders beyond this.
The Province of Andalusia is already the theater
Of the exploits of various bands, which have broken
out in open rebellion, under the banner of RPub-
Hc" At the pass OF Dispenaperros, near where Ma
pOeOps Gen. Dupont surrendered an army to the
b, rides Of the Spanish peasantry, party OF eighty
men stepped the mail-cOach two successive days,
taking possession of and burning the mails, but Of
fering no molesaton to the passengers. They al
forward retired up the mountains. On the 18th OF
June, party of $50 men, horse and foot, en-
tered tie town of Utrera, place OF about l2O0C
inhabitants, sixteen miles from Seville, attacked
the house of the Civil Guard, or Gendarmes,
which they burned, killing one of the guard,
the remainder efectiDg their retreat. They then
demanded Of the municipal authorities the sum oil
s., eco, which not being promptly furnished they
also burned the tOwn-hOuse, when, the sum
levied having been collected they took
possession of twcnty.n nine good horses, be-
longing TO citizens and retired toward the noun
tains of tie Sierra Moreno. Two columns OF troops
moved from Seville in chase OF this party on the both
inst. ON which day that Province was also declared
in state of siege, and put under martial law There
had been also some little disturbance in the streets
of Seville, but with other consequences thus tar
than these enumerated by discohsoate Andaluslan
in the columns of the Espana. "God grant that
"this place become tranquil soon for at least the
" first effect is that the evening walks on Tie piazza
aIe DONE the gay shops are closed at vespers, and
"st precisely the hour when one can walk out to
"get breath of air. at this season, the city is con-
"yeIted into desert"
These are but symptoms. The revolution is not
yet ripe. Probably the Government will find little
difficulty in overcoming all these indications OF dis
content for the present. So Narvaez stated i'll the
Senate, on the Sd inst, and there is no reason to
doubt it, The active army is at present full 100 OOO
men. and the reserve $4,000 men, who would all
obey orders probably for the present. The Cabinet
has also obtained new conscriptiOn OF $4,000 men,
which will be in the ranks after their first drilling,
within two or three months.
Nothing however, can now avert the coming rev.
olutiOnary crisis and this very army itself Will
probably begin the game, by military nsurrection
against the Cabinet which will succeed the present
one The change Of ministry and the serious break
ing out Of armed resistance to the throne VIII yet
occupy, however, the space of Six months at least
unless something unforeseen should precltate affairs
TO the Only conclusion now to be expected.
Sharp words passed between O'Donnell and the
Marquis of the Duero on the one side, and Narvaez
Oh the other in the Senate on the Sd instant.
An angry debate occurred the same day Ill the
Rouse Of Deputies on the question OF the passing OF
the resolution authorizing the Government to put IN
practice the new project Of law concerning the press
before it should be discussed i'll the COrtcs.
On tie 4th inst. the debate was to be continued
but there was no doubt of the passage OF the reso-
luton. This is the gag law which precedes many
other violent acts the part of the Government
vet 10 come. Be assured the storm is gathering.
The crops are abundant, but it is found that the
laborng population in some district. have been so
weakened physically, by the scanty diet of the last
six months that they are hardly able to sustain the
fatigues Of reaping ard threshing the grain, which
is done in Spain in the most primitive manner AZ
ter day or two Of work, more than halt the reap
ers are On the sick list, and many die.
