ably during he previous Ministerial csreer By the I'm.
perisl Government of France. The Grand Cross OF
The Legion Of Honor marked the Emperors approval
OF bis conduct when he dsoyely overthrow, IN 1884,
hs colleague Espsrtero; and the coincidence Of t1e
French Ambassador AZ Madrid indcsted the Imperial
sympathy and regret for his ia l. IL remains TO be seen
tow far lie viii now fulfill the expectations OF MS
friends and admirers in this country.
The new Minister OF Finance Pedro Sssveris.
was Minister OF Public Works (Fomento) in Armeros
Government, and for eight days IN 1886 directed the
Finances in that of Dornell He has the reputation
of being nan of capacity is well scqusinted with
the complicated 6sances OF Spain, and disposed 70
improve them. He is favorsbly spoken of among
those who pro!ess TO know him. He is young man
OF 30.

nor and OF Marine the persons 10y wi Dse jealous
and direct agency the crisis was prepared wnica has
again brought ODonnell TO power, and are of course
maintained their posts Ii is said, however, that
they acted too hastily in bringing before the late Cao-
met the question OF the DISSOLUTION OF the Cortes
which led imme dIately to the crisis, and which the
present will be expected to carry into execution
the nomination OF Donnell had in any case been de-
cided upon by the Queen.

He formerly an ardent Carlist atterly of the VI.
tamontsne or neo- Catholic party, and is now fol-
lower Of ODonnel vino ia neither. One OF my letters
says that the post of Foreign Affairs lEstado) was
offered 70 Marshal Serrano, and gives him credit fof
refusing TO form part OF Cabinet which did not com
prise some members Of tue Progresis.a party to which
the Marshal still professes TO belong. Gen. Manuel
de la Copchs, brother OF the Captain General Of
Cuba, ard personal friend Of Senano, was also
rpok ten Of for the chief military command OF Madrid
as Captain-Censrsl Of the Province. The telegraph
has SINCE announced that NJ. Calderon Colantes was
named on the 81 to the former post, and General
NCrohan (of Irish descenil 10 the latter. On the
whole, the composition of the new Cabinet promises,
| think fairly enough. The members Of il are
pectable as things 90 10 Spain and, so far as know
there is one among them whose name is odious to
the country at large, distinguishing il from mere
party There is coincidence worth notice; the
nomination Of O'Donnell published on the

Government you cannot" says private letter
from Madrid dated the let inst, have an idea OF the
rage Of the pure Moderados at the nomnstion of
"O'Donnell as Prime Minister. They declare that
the Queen has betrayed their party, snd slienated
" Vlcslvsrists."
Another letter of the same date says:
The return Of ODonnel TO power bas excited
general surprise. 1t is true he has been for the last
two years repeatedly mentioned likely TO take office
as President Of the Cabinet but il was the very
eve of his departure that the Queen appears to have
decided. In this respect II resembles somewhat .
c0Hp dttdt. In dissension as ne has been with the
Moderados and estranged from the Progresstss. the
possbi.y of his accession to power not believed
IN. Yet the Queen sent for him without hesitstion the
moment the lsturitz Ministry rendered their resgna
ton. There was some disappointment wheo the COM
position of the new Cabinet was made known.
ODoBpel hiss taken only Of his former colleagues
Of fSJ6-namely, N. Salaverris, Minister of Finance
In one respect the chsice is good he has reputa
ton for ability and honesty as an administrs.or but
he has no political preferences. ODonnell has also
passed over the moderate Progresstas, with whom
be was believed 70 be on the best terms and has
also forgotten or neglected the Mon fraction with
whom be went also very well. BE this as II may, the
Cabinet has definite position and were il only of this
ressop the country ought to feel sstsed that has
got nd of those Ministries Of transition il has la,ey
mad 70 much OF. There is Few feature in the pres
ent combination think ii well to notice. You are
perhsps aware that in Spain there has been no Minis
Ter for the ultramarre dependencies There has been
eplv Direction Of Ultramarine, the seat OF which
was the Department OF Foreign Affairs. Now, the
decree which names General O'Donnel 10 the Presi
depcy of the Cabinet also names him Minister Of War
TDrcmdr and Mipister Of Foreign Affairs ad interim.
II is Is you see. heavy burden ODonnel is called
upon to bear. OF course the question OF Mellco, a.
well az that which arises from the speech of Lord
Mslmesbury on the slave trade will have precedence
in the buiness Of the new Minister. The dissolution
OF the CoItes is Of course anticipated, though We DO
not vet know If the electoral lists viii be rectifed
beforehand: or if the mode of election will not be
changed 10 that Of electoral dstrcts instead prov
inres. as at present. The press assumes praden.
and reserved attitude toward the Cabinet, and evil
IDENTIFY waits for facts to judge it by. There are how
ever even a. yet, two papers, the Epooa and the
D;ap,o Espagno!, that msy at once be corsidered
Ministerial The Progresisa press also waits, but
can tel Won that if DonneI maintains the represent
