On the 18th inst the vote for Speaker Of the
Chamber of Deputies was taken. told you abort
21O deputies were present IN Madrid; but on ths
morning of the vote $50 answered 10 their names
and east their vote. OF these Don Juan Bravo
Vur;llo candidate OF the coalition Of absOlutl,s and
as.oni.ts of all colors called the League, received
l26 votes, and Was declared elected by majority
OF one vote.
That same evening the Cabinet presented 10 the
ho.p tho alternative of their eignation or the dis
soIu,ion Of The Cortes. and appeal to the coua-
trv in a new election. Her Majesty asked time 70
consider. Tie game was then patent 10 ell tho
world. In every cafe, aud even IN the "lne-saop',
the people understood IT. ana "hiie .u1 Sucsh %

GREAT dissimuation. everybody knew beforehand
the upsbot of the business. On the I2th INST, her
Majesty still held the subject under CONSIDERATION,
and the Cortes suspended their sessions NthoAt
doing any thing 1t will be remembered she had
positively and formally promised her Ministers N
case they were beaten in the COrtes that che would
dissolve these and order election, AMI on that
understanding they had proceeded. IL will oe re-

II ft', vii he remembered that the Cabinet wers
mon Who came in upon the fall of Narvaez, and
though of the ModerddO or high Tory party and oy
no means Liberals were still opposed to arbitrary
and dictatorial measures and, planting themselves
upon the platform of the Constitution, were os-
posed TO observe il and govern by It.
II will not be forgotten that the coalition OF tha
seryle. clerical military and stock -gamohDg 1850
lutst elements in the Cortes, ieagued 70 overthrow
the ministry. is a mere cabal, confined 10 couple
of hundred individuals more or less, AID having I'D
root or support in the country.
Their object is TO get rid OF the Constitution,
and of every other restriction TO the exercise OF ar
bitrary power BY the Crown, for their own pro.
fit and for that of the few classes who might natu-
| rally expect to be benefited by such deposit IN
the hands of the present Queen.
On the 18th, the comedy was still Kept up, and
in the evening her Majesty actually signed the de-
18th. early before the hour when the Cortea could
be assembled she sent for the Ministers and began
expressing doubts and difficulties about the dssolu'
ton, and seemed DESTROYS TO revoke the decree:
The Cabinet then defnitvely resigned aud insisted
upon retiring. The scene at the palace was sucn
| as has been rarely witnessed III those Walls
Armero. the chief of the retiring Cabinet, took
occasion to speak TO the Queen plainly. lie told
| her that it was no longer possible tor any honest
man 10 govern in Spain; that permanent con-
spirscy existed against Ill constitutional govern
ment that its leaders sheltered by her palace;
and that the chief cOnsplrator was then present ~
| the person of her husband the King. He toll her
that she herself was poor lost woman, surrounded
by peridics and Illegal counselors urging her to
her ruin persons having no idea OF the conduct or
course of affairs no knowledge Of the state OF tho
| country and no intentions or aims which were D0t
! ilIegitimate and perverse. The Queen herself Up.
peared HstOnished, and made 10 positive movement
or reply TO these bold and honest declarations, and
| the King, pale with chOler and uttering excla-
nations of rage, was unable to impede them. Sr.
| Mon, the Minister of Finance, came boldly and
manfifuy TO the support of his chief. lie told the
Queen that she was treading upon volcano, and
hat the revolution which was coming would be like
one which Spain has before seen; that the LAST
movement Of the people stopped at the threshold OF
| he palace; but that the coming one would mount
the very tiles upon the root, and it might soon
be beyond the power of any man or set OF men to
| rave her. The Ministers then took final adieu Of
the roysl personages, and this-probably the last
| attempt TO maintain legal and constitutional
government under the present dynasty failed.
| Her Majesty nevertheless, was good deal i'm.
| pressed by what she had heard, and, instead Of
sending for Bravo Murillo as was the natural
course of things, she at two o'clock called old Sr.
Isturtz, the President of the Senate, and charged
HIM with the formation Of Cabinet. This was
sort Of compromise between the cabal and the
country-a sort OF hating between her desires ant
her fears-a sort of halfway yielding to the ndicas
tons OF all sides Thus the Cabinet Of Sr. Isturitr,
composed of two Senator's two Bravo Murilist
Deputies and two clerical Absolutists has satisfied
nobody, and it is said cannot sustain itself month.
They are all secOnd-rate men, aud without prestige
IN the country. None Of the leaders Of the various
parties and fractions of parties are ameng them,

gone by, ID one OF those superannuated old dplo.
natsts without any present Specification or import.
snce OF his own aside from that which bis ofc5
lends him. The sessions Of the Cortes WILL it 10
said be suspended for week. TO give time tor the
| new Cabinet to prepare themselves and prepare
work fol- their deliberations.
The state Of public feeling is very highly excited.
On the 10th inst. one Of the Ministers was openly
and shamefully nsulted in passage Of the Senate
House by one of the Generals belonging TO tho
League, and they were separated as they came 70
| blows by VARIOUS Senators present On the llt1
inst. similar scene occurred at the House Of Dep.
utiss, between Minister Of the Crown and q Dep.
uty of the League actually holding the place Of Min.
inter Plenipotentiary at Berlin.
Threats Of violence, aud Of having reco,rse ID,
the army and coup d'tta,, were openly uttered b.
| the military heroes Of the hague, in case they
should lose the vote of the Cortes. They are mis-
taken. The army at most would be divided upon
such an Issue at this time according to the best In
formation can obtain and the position would thus
