POSTSCRI PT.
SATURDAY.
Accounts from Madrid announce the resignation of all the Spanish Ministers, except the Duke DE FRIAS, whom the Queen Regent wished to retain as President of the Council. A meeting of all the per- sons who had been Presidents of the Council since 1834 was held on the 19th, for the purpose of fixing on some course to be pursued; but the question as to the head of the next Ministry was not decided. Count °FALL° said, that no person of character would take the Fi- nance department. In the Cortes there had been some strong debates. The Minister of Justice said, that it was better to suspend the form of a constitution, since the reality could not be maintained. General SEOANE made a fierce attack on Count TOREN(/' whom he charges with peculation in a quicksilver contract. ARGUELLES vehemently defended TOREN°.
The condition of Cadiz was very unsatisfactory. The Governor had been called upon to resign, and there was a project for declaring Andalusia independent.
