The Ministerial crisis has ended in Spain in the return

of Topete and Rivero to the Ministry ; Rivero,—a determined man of Radical opinion, taking the Interior. Prim tells the Cortes that he is still seeking a King, and it is believed that the chance of the Prince of the Asturias grows daily stronger. Nothing, however, is known except that a project of making Serrano Dictator for four months was entertained for a few hours and dismissed, partly from popular dislike and partly from the opposition of Rivero, who says he will obey any sovereign elected by the Cortes.
