MOO. it is merely rational to suppose that some solid service was bought by these presents, probably silence, as the Clamor Mater.  In the meantime, the chief pert in a plot, whose programme was to open with the murder of Names, having been attributed to Mr. Bulwer, our ambassador lost no time in seeking an interview with the Duke et Sotomayor, Minister of Foreign Affairs. Mr. Bawer had no need to employ the emphatic language of indignation with a civilised Spaniard, who had represented his country in England. to repudiate so ridiculous a charge as his being implicated in a scheme te assassinate the president of the council. As to the co-operation assigned to him with Salamanca In the reeant attempt, if any had been made, to subvert the ministry, a suspicion was grounded, as be believed, open their both having been three days in Arenjues at the same time during the last week; he could assure the duke that he had not even seen the ex-minister of finance during his stay in the country. At the same time if he disapproved of the conduct pursued by ber Majesty's ministers he should always reserve to himself the right of supporting her Majesty in the cue in which she should think proper to change her advisers; and that if he observed any attempt on the part of the present ministry to debar her Majesty from exercising her prerogative in the free choice of her servants, he should certainly conceive it his duty jo support her Majesty in the vindication of her conllstational right. The Duke of Sotomayor stated in reply that he *omitted Mr. Bulwer entirely of any designs such as were imputed to him by the l'opular and assured him that no attempt whatever would be made by the present ministers to curb or control her Majesty iti the free exercise of her preregative, as far as the nomination of ministers or other servants of the crown was concerned; nor to debar their political opponents from due &CCM to the Queen. Mr. Bulwer was satisfied with them explanations. Those who appear to regret that our diplomacy in Spain should be one-aided, and that the interests of England should be bound up in this country exclusively with the cause of the progresistas, may satisfy themselves by reading the Eco of Saturday (6th) that our ambassador is by no means a partisan. The clearest proof of hp impartiality is getting abuse from both aides. The Eco del Comereio has caught up the cry of the Faro, and suddenly discharges a torrent of reproaehes against Mr. Bulwer, without assigning the least motive. It calls his diplomacy " ridiculous, detestable, useless, and base." In a succeeding letter I shall attempt to explain the reasons, which the Eco withholds, for this sally of rage. I hear that the place of Minister of Public Instruction has been offered to Phial, but declined by him; doubtless, because the ministry of finance Is denied to his inseparable cousin, Mon. The F-wrador states, that at a late hour last night reports prevailed that Orlando had been replaced by Mon. tti.  REMOVAL OP TuastistEs.—Last night a very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the Caledonian road, Islington, and vicinity, took place at the Duke of Richmond Tavern, Caledonian-road, for the purpose of adopting measures for the removal of the turnpikes in that loeslity; Mr. J. Vousley presided. The Caledonian-road turnpike was, it appeared, established under 6 Goo. IV., by gentlemen holding property in the vicinity ; but the tolls had been very unproductive, while the road has remained in a woeful state of rep dr. It was suggested that there would be no difficulty in getting the read into the hands of the parish, and of thereby abolishing the toll-gates, and rendering the Caledonian-road (u it should be) one of the principal thoroughfares from the westend of London to Highgate. After a brief discussion, resolutions in furtherance of the objects of the meeting, including that for the appointment of a committee, were unanimously canted, the proceedings closing with a vote of thanks to the chairman.
