The Spanish Securities fluctuate with the appearance of the French political crisis ; rising when the day's post brings tidings of the chance of the instalment of M. TRIERS as Minister, and falling when the intelligence is of a contrary tenor. The fluctuation has been from 20 to ; and the market is weak at the lower quotation.
