SPAIN.
Our accounts from Madrid are of the Bth June. On the 7th, the most contradictory reports were in circulation relative to the formation of the cabinet. Some said that nothing had yet been done, whilst others contended that Rodil had succeeded in organising an administration as follows: —Rodil, president of the council and minister of war; Count Almodovar, president of the senate, minister for foreign affairs; Senor Gomez de la Serna, former political chief, minister of the interior; General Capaz, vice-president of the senate, minister of marine ; Senor Landero, a senator, minister of
justice; Senor Ferraz, director of the treasury, minister of finance. —On the Bth, however, everything appears to have been broken off, General Rodil, after all his exertions, having only been able to secure the co-operation of Count Almodovar and of Senor Landero. The latter held the department of justice in the Calatrava administration, subsequently to the occurrences of La Granja. Senor Ferraz could not he induced to accept the ministry of finance, and offers had been accordingly made to Senor Jorda, a Catalonian deputy, as strenuous an anti-free-trade partisan as Senor Surra y Rull himself. The other candidates for that important office were Senors Ramon, Calatrava, and Ayllon. The regent was believed to he more determined than ever not to dissolve the Cortes. Barcelona, letters of the Bth state, that the Carlist hands in Catalonia were on the increase. Felip had lately entered the town of Ripoll, seized its garrison, and got off, after levying contributions, without being molested. —Weekly Chronicle,
