THE SPANISH LETTERS.

TlicNarvacz Government has taken on itself tomlopt a course moi.t insulting to England, in bending away 1 1 urn Madrid, At foily.n^hlhouii' imucc, hi'i Uriluntiic Majesty's Mm s'ci Plenipotentiary- A uulisfuelid^ exp'unadon of this coui»e must be »ivcn by llie Enylihli or the .S{>.nu*;h Government.

If the British Ministry may, of course ruty private individual may. Now it is quite dear that such, a belief would lender res dunce abro id, foi any purpose whatever, impossible, ami Englishmen in forci. r ,rr counti icH, whether (here lor purposes of buMncui os pleasure, l.quiic protection; tin: vciy hopo ol whick they miut give, up, it the Spanish Ministry cm b« allowed 10 act as it lias done without a full justification. That jiiitifica'ion wt: do not believe it able lo produce. We have not the uraulh st doubt the whole proceeding has been one of the most unadulterated acts of insolent: tyranny that a bad and foolish government ever committed. Jlut the Mnghsh people must he satisfied oE tvs, when Lord I'dlnicrsion may, and must, fully punish the Narvacz and Christina Ministiy, or tin? Whigs must prepare to nurrender office. The facts appear .it prcKCnt to ho tlu'so :— Lord Pwl* mcrston writos a despatch to Sir H. Bulwer, which the latter, a.i it was lug duty to do, arts upon. The dca« patch giveß olfcnce to the Spanish Minister*, who, insteud of sending to demand the recall of Sir H. Bulwer, order him out ot the country. This is an act. of defiance to the country of which he is the reprcHsn* talive. If amicable relations were rat ant to bcpic3crved v the Spnnirh Government should have assumed Unit a-» soon as the British Government knew that Sir 11 ~ Bulwer had misconducted himself, he would do recnlle '. But thu proper course of busincts implies that tic Spanish Govemment had a charge. The inegulur as well as ofleiiHive proceeding of that Government: implies just the roveisp.
