The Morning Chronicle has published a letter from the Conde
de Mirasol, at Madrid, and one from M. Tacon, the Spanish Chargé d'Affaires in London, with a reply to the latter from Lord Eddisbury. The subject is the explanatory mission of M. de Mirasol, which Lord Palmerston suddenly stopped by his letter of the 12th June, closing the diplomatic relations of the two countries. On the 17th, M. Tacon wrote to Lord Palmerston, acknowledging that he had no further title to address him officially, but stating that, fourteen hours after the departure of M. Isturitz, he had received from his Government a memorandum with twenty-nine enclosures, relating to Sir Henry Bulwer's removal; and therefore be privately informed Lord Palmerston of the fact, and offered to transmit the documents to him if he were willing to receive them. On the 19th, Lord Eddisbury replied on behalf of his principal, Lord Palmerston, with a simple reference to his letters of the 6th and 12th, as final on the matters to which they relate.
