SPAIN.-The Captain General of Madrid al
dressed letter to Regent Serrano and Gen.
Prim, in which he says: Il took part in the
revolution, hoping to see morality, law aud JUS
tice succeed the former abuses. It'll now ten
months since the revolution was accomplished
My hopes have been deceived Greater abuses,
wide spread imm6ality, dcplorable anarchy pre-
vail-disorders to which it is absolutely neces
sary to put an end The Constitution having
proclaimed monarchy, the immediate choice of
King is Indispensable. If the Government
does not shortly consider the question. | shall
abandon all hope as to the consolidation OF the
revolution and retire TO private lille. This
letter was read TO the Council OF Ministers, and
created profound impression.
A letter from Madrid says the state of affairs
in that country is disquietibg. There is no
prospect ahead but gloom an1 confusion. The
Government has no fears OF the success of the
Carlists, but does not think that all is lost for
Prince Asturias.
There have been several encounters between
the Government troops and Carlist insurgents,
in all of which the latter were beaten. A num-
Der of insurgents have been killed and wounded
and many taken prisoners.
The volunteers are behaving with great VIC
ence and the civic and judicial authorities are
powerless to check them. The journalists have
held meeting to protest against the acts OF
| the volunteers.
FRANCE--In the opening session OF the SEN
| ate yesterday NJ. Rouher made an address. lie
| referred to the duty deyolved upon, that body
of examining proposed reforms, and said they
should inquire whether they were popular
enough to go hand in hand with liberty, aud at
| the same time strong enough to resist anarchy
He was confident the Senate would enter upon
| this discussion with firm intention of inter.
preting the will OF the country, and that by the
combined efforts of the Government and Senate
more genuine harmony be established between
powers OF the State and institutions OF the En-
pire, and would acquire renewed strength lus-
| tire and popularity.
The .Senatus ConSultunt was then read. 1t
prescribes that Ministers are to depend only on
the Emperor, and will continue to deliberate
| in council under his presidency. They are,
however, to be considered responsible for their
| acts but can only be impeached by the Senate.
A Minister, whether member Of the Senate
| or Corps, has the right to be present at debates
| in either Chamber.
The Minister of Justice made some explana.
| tons to the Senate which were of very liberal
character.
The Senate adjourned until Thursday next,
when it will appoint committee OF ten to CON
slider the Se.otus Coasultum.

opened negotiations with the present Govern
ment Of Spain for the independence OF Cuba
General Sickles has already presented the sub.
jet to the Minister for Foreign Affairs at
Madrid, and two bulky kilograms have been
received at Washington ir consequence. The
proposition which General Sickles has laid be-
fore Marshal Serrano and his associate is as
follows:
|. Spain shall recognize the independence Of
Cuba under the government of Cespedes.
ii. Cuba shall pay to Spain an indemnity
for the resignation of the rights hitherto exer
csed by the mother country. The amount OF
this indemnity to be specified in the treaty.
I'LL The indemnity, whether fixed at one
hundred millions, fifty millions, or twenty, five
millions of dollars, to be in bonds of the Cuban
Government, payable with interest at the ex-
piration of a convenient period.
w. These bonds to be guaranteed by the
United States.
V. An armistice to be proclaimed between
the patriots and the Spanish troops in Cuba,
Immediately upon the execution Of the treaty.
The island to be evacuated by the Spanish
forces as soon as the treaty is ratified by the
representatives of the Cuban people, and the
guarantee Of the bonds approved by the Con-
gress of the United States.
