The Ministers brought forward a bill to "confirm the Fueros
of the Basque Provinces ; " but the majority of the Deputies refused to pass the chief resolution or "article," unless coupled with a salvo in favour of the Constitution. Tito Minister of Justice, Aunt- ZOLA, who on tile morning of the 7th instant had promised to mo- dify the article, shuffled and withdrew his promise in the after- noon. OLOZAOA, who led the Opposition, indignantly denounced the Minister's treachery. ALAIN, who saw that the feeling was strongly against the Government, apologized, and declared his readiness to wake any concessions for the sake of union. Oeoz.tnA said he was quite ready to aid the Government. A most extraor- dinary scene then occurred; a description of which we take front the Times— The Minister of War rising, and opening his arms, said, Let him come P "31.

The telegraphic despatch alluded to was quoted kt the aeesui. d edition of last Spectator-: it anUotinced. the tual deaisiotr-of tho
Cortes to limit the concession of the Fueros by a proviso which maintained the integrity of the Constitution. New Ministerial combinations are expected, or a dissolution of the Cortes ; as, in the present Chambers, the Government cannot go on without an unwelcome reinforcement of Libmals.
