The election excitement had nearly died out The
returns from the provinces were coming in almost
universally in favor of the Government, the opposi
| tion having elected only Or out of the 267 mem-
bers returned. The ministerial journals generally ex
press great satisfaction at the result and declare that
it surpasses all the hopes Of the friends OF the Em
pre. On the other hand, however, the Democratic
party are equally loud in their expressions Of salts
faction The new elections in where absolute
majority was not obtained by either candidate,
to take place on the 5th of July General Cavignac

The Madrid correspondent of the London Times
under date of the 10th Of June, says that long
conference that took place the 18th inst between
Seniors Pidal and Lafragua does not appear to have
greatly improved the chances of settlement of the
dispute between Spain and Mexico. There is no rea
to believe that this Government is otherwise than
pacific in its wishes, but it is pressed from without
and dares not, perhaps, be conciating and yield
ing as would be desirable Or as it could wish. The
report that Cen Coneha had sent vessels to the coast
of Mexico is fully confirmed. This might induce one
to think that that officer who, at the commencement
Of the dispute, did not show at all hostile feeling
towards Mexico, had changed his views and plan of
action. s. ae sg59- !
Meanwhile with Spanish ships off Vera Cruz there
is a risk OF collision-a small spark might soon be-
come fiame-and Senior Lafragua, already indis-
posed to remain much longer in Madrid, unless re-
ceived in an official capacity, would scarcely have
choice but to depart at once should news come OF the
slightest act of hostility having taken place. Opin-
ions here very divided to whether the quarrel
will be settled alncably or the reverse. The situa
ton at this present moment is critical The English
and French Ambassadors are doing everything in
their power to bring about reconciliation Accord
ing to present appearances not many days must eapse

for better or for worse.' ..
In letter dated June goth, from the same source,

| We have an indirect and rather unreliable rumor
that soldier had fired on the King of Naples at
| Gaeta; that the King was slightly wounded, and
that the soldier destroyed himself Immediately after
wards. The Naples correspondent of the Manchester
Guardian says that the report is doubtless founded on
the fact that the soldiers stationed at Gaeta surrounded
The King on one of his visits to complain of griev-
ances in regard to the Withholding of their pay that
they retired on promise that their complaint should
be considered; and'.hat immediate orders were given
tor their arrest which could not he carried out with
