The Messager des Chambres has accounts from Madrid unfavourable to
the continuance of the present Ministry in power. The Ultra- Liberals, it is supposed, will prove too strong for them. The following is an extract from a letter from Madrid in the Message'', dated the 6th in- stant.
" The present Ministry has no chance of a duration. It is even unlikely that it will lire till the time of the meeting of the Cortes. Calatrava alone, though much advanced in years, is distinguished from his colleagues by some degree of energy.' " 31. de Caballero, who is still in his province, will probably be called on by the Patriotic patty to form anew Administration. He will most likely surround himself with entirely new men, whom public opinion will point out to him, and who will be equal to the circumstances. " The emigration continues. The Government gives no passports; but die foreign Ambassadors give them to persons who are exposed to danger or alarmed. The Infanta, Donna Louisa Carlotta, has expressly forbidden all persons belong- ing to her household from leaving 3Iadrid.'
