if it is trivial, a dangerous state Of i~ll-feeling in
America will be the result.
1t is expected that the decision of the Empe-
rOr William on the San Juan boundary question
will be in favor Of America, and that the De
Hare channel will be declared the proper
boundary instead of the Rosario straits. Under
the treaty a decision must be rendered by the
arbitrator before January, 1873. 1t is reported
that the case'is already decided, but the EN-.
peroF William will not promulgate the decision
until September.

SPAIN.
At midnight of the 18th July, as the King
and Queen were returning from the Palace Gar
den, to the Palace, five men, conveniently post
ed in Arnal Street, fired upon the carriage;
they were uniniured. One of the a~ssassin8 was
Immediately killed by an attendant of the Royal
party, and two others were captured. The
greatest indignation was everywhere expressed
at the ~cOWardly deed. There was much excite
ment throughout the city, but the tranquility
has been unbroken BY four o'clock in the
morning, almost the whole population of Madrid
was out in the streets. Their MajeSties the
King and Queen assisted at a Te Deum on the
10th in the Royal Chapel. The King subse-
quently walked through the Streets, and was
oheered by the people. The crowd attempted
the next day to take the ~asSassins out of jail and
shoot them, but the Ponce prevented LulS.
The examination of the two ~assassins develOpe
the fact, that the attack was part of an organised
conspiracy, extensive ia its ramifoations, and
provided with ample funds. Twenty-seven
accomplices have been arrested. The escape of
the King was a narrow one One of the horses
attached to the Royal carriage received seven
pistol shots.

cities at the escape of the King and Queen OF
Spain. Rome was covered with flags, and
manifestations of sympathy and joy, were made
in front Of the Spanish Legation.
1t is believed that the a~ssasSins are the same
parties who murdered General Prim. A large
sum of money was found on one of them, which
leads to the belief that he was a hired servant
of a political conspiracy. When the attack
was made a sharp engagement occurred be-
tween the would-be a~ssaSsins, the police, and
the Kings escort. His Majesty himself was
anxious TO participate, but was prevented by
his personal attendants, and the members OF
the Royal party in Company.
