LONDON, May ia letter to the Times,
from Paris, says: at is the impression
here that the new Spanish Ministry will
shortly exhibit Alfonsist tendencies. I'm
questionably a large proportion of the
better classes of Spaniards look forward to
the enforcement of the Prince of the
Asturias as offering the best chance for pros

letter to that journal, published this morn
ing, says "The Duke of Broglie, French

and without which the Due de Broglie is
said to have declared that he will not re-
main in office.

terness between her and the Prince of Wales,
in relation to question of rank.

from Paris, saying il is the impression in

Spain will soon manifest Alfonsist tenden-
cies. 1t is also stated in the same letter,
