yesterday morning reports were current that there

who heard the report attributed 1t to the
cause aud others believed TO be the explosion OF the

these works are not in operation, those who were
aware Of the fact knew that IL pro-

POLICY OF OUR GOVERNMENT.

INSTRUCTIONS TO MINISTER CUsHING-oUR POLICY
MORE VIGOROUS THAN GENERALLY SUPPOSED.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
WASHINGTON. Jan. s.-Immediately upon receiv-
ing official information of the probable accession OK
Don'Afonso to the throne of Spain. President Grant
directed Secretary Fish to instruct Minister Cushing
at Madrid, to exercise his discretion as to the
time and manner of recognizing the restored mon
archy These instructions were promptly sent 10
Mr. Cushing, and, rumors to the contrary notwith-
standing there is the best reason for believing that
no more specific directions have yet been forwarded
to him. His original letter of instructions, which
was very strong and pointed document has thus
far been considered sufficient to guide his policy.
The President intimates to those with whom he
talks ON this subject that the policy Of our Govern
ment in regard to the Vrgnins affair has been more
vigorous than has generally been supposed.

BARON DE LARCY AND NJ. DUPAURE CALLED UPON
WITHOUT RESULT.
LONDON, Friday, Jan. 8, 1876
The Times special dispatch from Paris says: Presi-
dent MacMahon has decided to summon NM Du-
faure and Laboulaye, Baron de Larcy and
the Marquis de Castellane to cOnsulta-
ton on the subject of the formation of
new Cabinet and agreement upon pro-
gramme of policy. 1t is certain that this attempt
to constitute Cabinet from Wednesdays majority
in the Assembly will be fruitless. But 1T is indis-
pensabe to render tho Marshals situation clear in
the eyes of the nation and proves the impossibity
of any governments securing the support of a
majority that can be depended upon. Marshal
MacMahon will then be free to choose Cabinet
from those whose programme he can accept, and
this Cabinet will be charged with the conduct Of
the general election"
