The affairs of Spain continue in a troubled state. The

struggle of the corporations for the retention of their privileges threatens to renew the civil war, if the Queen and her Ministers persist in enforcing the limitation-act. The Ministerial dignity seems to be at a discount just now in Spain. Don VALENTINE FERRAZ, ivho was appointed President of the Council, declined the office ; and the Queen was obliged to issue a decree ordering him to accept, before he would undertake its duties and responsibilities. Two other of the recently-appointed Ministers have resigned ; but in their case the Queen has not insisted on their retaining place. The Regent left Barcelona on the 22d, for Valencia, on her road to Madrid. ESPARTERO, in the mean time, remains in Catalonia ; and refuses to take tiny part openly in the internatsgssensions.
