MADRID, Fob. 10.--Itho Correspondence, in its
issuo Of to-day, announces tho probability TINT

/ Cabinet Council WAS hold last night, after
which scnor MartoB, Minister Of Forcigu Az
faira, Senior Becerrn, Minister Of tho interior,
and senor Echegary, Minister OF Finance, had a
conference with Senior Rivero, President Of tho
Cortes. L conference also took place botween
gonor Cordoba, Minister Of War, aud tho prin-
cipal military oilcors in Madrid.
A largo mooting Of Conservatives Was held
last night.
In tho event Of the Kings abdloation, tho Som
ate aud Cortos will go into joint session, aud
continue to ait AZ one Chamber until tho throne
is filed, or the future form Of Government set
tied.
The Kings disposition to quit the throne is
attributed to tho difference between Els Majesty
and the Ministry, which arose In November last,
when tho General of tho Artillery, Don Hidalgo,
YVES promoted to tho Captain Genoralslip of tho
Basque provinces. Tho majority Of the officers
in tho artillery arm Of the service resigned thor
commissions at the time, protesting against tho
promotion as irregular and unjusti8nblo, and re-
fusing to aerve under Hidalgo, because ho par
ticipatcd in the massacre at Son Gil barracks In
1866. Hidalgo mooting with so much opposition
finally resigned, and the officers Withdrew
their designations, but the Ministry recently
appointed him to now and important command
in Catalonia. The artillery officers renewed
their protest, and again Bont in their rcsigna-
tions. Tho Ministry disregardod them, and, ap-
pealing to tho Cortes obtained nearly an unani-
NOUS vote of confidence. The King from tho
beginning has disapproved tho promotion Of
Hida1go, and feels alrronted because his Cabi-
net compels him, through o vote Of the CorteB,
to acquiesce in the Inst appointment.
It is given ont that Ganor zurtlla will retire to
private life it the King persists in his resolyo to
hbdicate.
Themembera!of tho Cortes belonging to the most
advanced section Of the Republican party hold d
meeting yesterday to consider what action
should be taken in tho crisis About thirty per-
sons we're present. They resolved to maintain
pacific, yet energetic attitude, and if tho
Kings determination should bo irreyocable, to
encourage orderly manifestations in favor OF the
establishment Of q Republic.
The Senate BY voto of 50 against 6, has
passed motion OF con1doncein the Ministry on
the question Of It's course towards tue artillery,
with regard to the recent demonstration Of in
subordination, and created an Ordnance Depart
ment. Tho bill for the abolition Of slavery in
the Island OF Porto Rico will bo discussed to-day
IN Congress-.
