dispatch by cable to the N. Y. Herald from
Paris, February Sth, says: Our Madrid CORES
pondent telegraphS the following important
news: Immediately after the recent debate
In Congress the ministerialists appeared to be
very confident all the evening. Late at night
1t began to be rumored that the prime minister
had been twice summoned to the palace, and
after midnight as the people We're leaving the
opera and theaterS, the intelligence spread
rapidly In the clubs and cafes that Senor
CaIOvas del Castillo had placed his resigna-
ton In the hands OF the king. 1t seems
that Senior Canovas was closeted with the king
for twenty minutes before the royal dinner, and
told bis majesty that he intended next morn
ing to present for appreciation the first act OF a
financial policy that would require much time
to develop-a plan for reforms and for the con-
version Of the debt, as would be fully ex.
planned In the preamble Of the decree. The
king intimated that he would require some
hours to consider, and asked Canovas to return
after eleven o'clock. The premier In second
interview found the king not disposed to favor
the continuance in power of the conservatives,
Which was Implied in the decree OF conversion
Oh the de6ts OF the Treasury. SO the premier
Immediately placed his resignation at the dis
poSal of the King and informed his colleagues
who repeated the Intelligence to their friends
IL seems that for some time King Alfonso mad
considered 1t both fair and polite to make a
trial of dynastic liberalism, and this offered a
favorable opportunity. He ordered the Duke de

THE NEW MINISTRY.
The new ministry has been constituted as
follows:--Sehor Sagasta, minister OF the inte-

Armigo, minister OF foreign affairs. Sehor
Camacho, minister of finance. SenOr Alonzo
Martinez, minister Of Justice. Marshal Marti.
nez-Campos minister OF war. Senor Pavia,
minister OF marine. Senior Alvareda, minister
OF public works. Senior Cuesta, minister Of

The Spanish ministry had rendered It's resig-
nation In consequence OF the Kings refusal OF
his assent TO bill for the conversion of the re-
deemable loans OF 1876 and 1880, Of 81 ,0OO, 900
pounds sterling, with their deficit, into a i've
per cent stock redeemable in twenty years. 1t
was thought in Madrid that as the full execu-
ton OF this policy would take eighteen months
there would be no hope Of Seniors Sagasta and
Martinez Campos entering office in 1881 II the
King assented to the introduction of the bill.
