M. de la Bouterie put question to the
Foreign Minister in regard to the Madrid note.
The Spanish Ambassador has formally complained
to the French government OF its
NEGLIGENCE ON THE PYRENEAN FRONTIER,
whereby the Carllsts are kept constantly supplied
with arms and ammunition. The despatch OF the
Marquis Vega di Armljo, which is almost bullying
in tone, has gwen a terrible blow to the self
respect Of the French people, and M. Theirs con-
duct is the less excusabe In seeking to lower the
dignity or government at the present moment
when by so doing he Impatrs the prestige OF the
country, which Is, certainly, fallen very low.
"But yesterday and France might have stood
against the world. Now, none so poor as to do
her reverence" or course. every one mere believes
that Bismarck has really dictated the note and 1t
Ia more than probable that he has promised
to back up any remonstrances OF Marshal Serrano's
envoy on the subject. The Duke Decazes did not
attempt to conceal from the committee that the
despatch was unpleasantly worded. He could
only ada that there was nothing in its language
which could be absolutely considered as an afIront.
