APRIL 24.—This morning the Prtsideiii o th6',..bouncil was summoned before eight o'clock to wait on did Bing. It is affirmed that despatches, received during the night from Berlin; werp.the cause of this conference. M. Thiers, on returning to his residence; derpmehed a courier to that capital. None of the Ministers were in the seeiet of this interview between the King and the President of the Council,—Journa/ chi Commerce. A journal says,--.." Much has been said of the question of intervention in Spain. Let it suftce le know that the inter. vention meets with an insurmountable obstacle, in a preponderating will which is resolved at present not to give offence to the Northern Powers. These Powers are still negociating with Don Carlos, from whom they have not obtained all that they desired. Couriers have been dispatched, and their return and the deliberation of the absolute Courts must be waited for before it can be. known what it may be thought fit to do at Paris. It is then that it will be time to calculate the results of intervention in a given position of Spain and Europe. Till then we doubt whether the instances of a part of the Cabinet will succeed even in getting the force of our auxiliary legion raised to 10,000 men."  The correspondence between the British Government and the several persons in Spain who were parties to the " Eliot Convention," has been laid upon. the table of the House of Peers. All doubt as to the authenticity of the notorious Durango decree, so often impugned by the abettors of Don CARLOS, is now removed. . _ The correspondence is spread over a period of nine months—from the beginning of July, 1835, to the latter end of March, 1836. The first document is the copy of a declaration to be delivered to Don CAuLos by Colonel WYLDE, in which, after stating that the British Government could not believe Don CARLOS capable of publishing the decree referred to, the following distinct and spirited announcement is made : " The undersigned is instructed formally to declare to his Royal Highness that the British Government will not permit the Convention which was nertiated and signed under the mediation of Great Britain to be violated with impunity : that the British Government cannot doubt that this Convention will be strictly and faithfully observed with regard to all persons engaged in the service of the Queen of SPAIN, whether Spaniards or others ; and that the British Government look especially to his Royal Highness Don CARLOS for a fulfilment of the engagements which have been made, and for an observance, on this matter, of the usages of civilised nations." This declaration was read to Don CARLOS by Colonel WYLDE, on the 2d of August, and a copy of the Durango decree was put into the Prince's hands by that Gentleman. No answer was required. However the Prince thought proper to inform the Gallant Colonel, without any hesitation, " that he had issued that decree after mature reflection; that he considered that he was perfectly justified in doing so, and that he had issued orders to his generals to carry it into effect ; that as to the convention presented to him by Lord ELIOT, the employment of foreign troops was not contemplated at that time, or he should not have agreed to it, and that he looked upon this force as without the pale of the Convention !" This is pretty well, as a specimen of DoN CARLOS' humanity ! Our readers are all well acquainted with General MINA'S account of the murder of CABRERA'S mother. This old woman, it will be remembered, was not put to death, before she had 'been engaged in a foul conspiracy to betray a city into the hands of the Carlists. In MINA'S address to his " friends" the Catalans, which was intended for publication in the Journals of London and Paris, rather than for perusal in the Basques—the particular part which the old woman, as chief conspirator, assigned to herself, is not stated. We suspect it was some atrocious feat, from the willingness with which so humane and gentle a being as MINA consented to have her shot. Like SAMPSON, she might have contemplated carrying off the city gates, even though more ponderous and crazy than those of Gaza ; but to whisper a suspicion of our own—it is much likelier that the mischievous old hag had determined to carry off the city altogether. Be this as it may, having given MINA'S account of the Or Ziff' "6\V n 7mrfig.a al% r' "kr.' affliiiieswsive that , Me repeated efforts to humanize the Spanish warfare entitle him to the respect of every Englishman :
