Rpt 7 have reason TO believe that though the
Covernment has put down by force OF arms the Ill
concerted and unfortunate rising in Andalusia, In
looking NO the supposed great conspiracy with which
tl:pt was connected, it is as usual of the scent.
1t has been my fortune to receive communlcau0ns
direct from person who knew Caro- personally
and who assures me that he was Captain In the
army of Don Carlos.
] am also told by one who knew the personal his
tory of Lallane, the second in command that ne,
too WAS Carlist; and this information was fur
nshed In reference to each, without either OF my
informants knowing what was said about the Otner.
This coming as it does IN addition 10 my previous
intelligence about the movements OF the Carlst
chiefs and their evident hope of being again able 10
strike blow for their cause in the peninsula tns
Summer has led me to the conclusion that tne re-
cent attempt in Andalusia was in fact Carlst plot
in disguise. They spread the flag OF Socialism
TO catch the support OF the popllace, ana the
leaders Of the movement were Carhsts. They
meant perhaps, to draw the attention Of the Gov
eminent and the army to the mountains of Anda-
luss when in fact the great blow was to have been
struck in another quarter. Whatever 1t was, the
whole plan has failed for the moment, and IN so do.
ing has justified the opinion have before expressed
to you, that the Queens Government would be able
still for some time to come to repress every attempt
at revolution in Spain.
In the question between Spain and Mexico, | am
able to give you information from a source which is
reliable, that the English Minister at Madrid has,
during the past week, made an important declara-
ton TO the Spanish Government, to the effect that 1t
Spain should persist i'll making war upon Mexico
Great Britain would in no manner be held response
BILE for the consequences, and especially IN any COM
pcations which might arise with the United States,
she would allow Spain to defend her possessions in
the West Indies as best she might and would in no
case take any part at all in the matter. l am also
told that the Marquis de TurgOt, the French Elm
bassador supported aud approved this decara.
ton on the part of Great Britain, and in fact added
to il something not quite so explicit, but IN inc
same general sense, on the part OF the Government
Of France. The difficulty with which the English
ard French representatives have had to contend at
Madrid, it seems is, that the Spanish Government
believes that the protection OF her DOMINION over
Cuba is matter of such immense Importance 70
England and France that these two Governments
would never consent to see that colony Wrested from
her do what she might. And this is in fact the sub
stance of the reply of the Spanish Minister of State,
Sr. Pidal to the declaration of Lord Howden above
referred to. He simply expressed his mcreduiity
that such would be the course OF Great Britain;
snd when this declaration was solemly repeated ana
maintained he went into species oil argument 10
prove that Great Britain could never act I'D that
n,snner and thus the matter rested at the ast al
yices. IL is well known here that both Lord How
den and the MARQUIS of TurgOt are personally
thorouehly disguised with the manner In which the
SDanisb Government behaves on tins question, ana
that the personal relations ef both with the actua
Minister of State, Pidal, amount to httie less thah
a Quarrel But there is yet ne indication thal SPAN

vessels and troops for Cuba and the tone oil the

MADRID, July Is, 1857.
The last sigh of freedom which the Spanish Press
has exhaled previous to the publication OF the new
law of printing, was employed by some OF the
newspapers in sharp rebukes and caustc criticism
Of the Ministry, and especially of the Minister OF
State for their ridiculous predicament in the ques
ton Of Mexico. In fact, it would be hard to find,
in the history Of diplomatic feats, more complet,
discomi,ure than that which Sr. Lafragua has just
put upon the Spanish Government. Nor do re-
member to have heard Of any stupidity greater
than that Of the Spanish Minister of State though
on this point l would not speak with confidence
after the diplomatic history of Europe for the
last ten years. 1T is true, Also that the Government

had considerable quantity Of wool pulled over its
