The President did not doubt but that I would have en- forced these ideas biated at by the Minister of Relations, as well as others emanating from them. and persuaded that the conviction of thelr truth, which the government of her Catholic majesty ought to have, would be strengthered by them, he expected thatit might have felt inelined to alter the passive attitude wi maintained till then concernirg questions so vital both for Europe and for America, prompting it to take the psrt which undoubtedly belonged to it, and which mo- rality and shila bresy sateeee o, as wellas the duty of eivilized nations, to themse!ves mutual’sssistance in clroumstances like thoee, in which no less than the destruction of whole races was at stake; the more so when there existed good relations of long standing, as was the care between Spain ani Mexico, For this reason his excellensy the president, in hopes tbat my efforts might rot have proved useless, wished that, accorciog to the srret which they might have borne, I should jaltiate, in a par- teuiar and private manner, am agreement for aid (to be arranged in cae of need, in a precise and dls- tinct manner.) if Cpacdarptge | Mexico had to resist with arme the npjst aggression of her Northern neighbors, and if the cocasion looked still more propitivus, becauve of the Spanish government showing more ample disposi- tion to protect, to proj even an alliance with the re- pubilc, which, i i! was well received, I m'gh? eater into it with the reserveand prudence which it demanded, tdviring my government without loss of time, that it wight rend me the necessary ins:ructions, which would be based on the informa ion and data which I migh’ send it concerning the intentions and ideas of the goverment of Spain, in case it should lend ite t to euch negotiations. That it was needless to recommend to me the impor- tance cf such negotiation, as well as to point out to me the favorab e results which they would produce at oace, checking the ambitious and encroaching views of the United , for although the repuolic and its govern- ment were ce ermined to repel them, and to maintain the integrity of its territory and its sovereiguty by every mears in iis power, as Icoull asaure the government of her Majesty it would ba most convenient to avoid all at- tempt at sggcescion, that the Untied States would ac- quire the ecntiction that Mexico would no: be lef¢ alone in the strife; but that it would be cuppo: , and that power‘ully and efticiently, although it migh: not know exactly in what that support consisted. ‘Ard lastly, that his exeeLency the presiient relied contideni!y in my patriotiem for obtal the result to which that Cespatch ref-rred, and about which I was di- rected to put myself in correspondence with our repre- sentatives m Lendcn amd Paris, to whom a stimlar com. munication was sent, in order t> promote that affair be- fore the governments to whom they were seszedited.

From the ADOe i of that bal masque Mr. Gye, it is but due tobi oO lo for some time withhe’d his consent. I had severat tele: graphic communications with him to Madrid and Paris to indnce him to change his mind, Atflength, on my repre- senting to his solicitor that I bai already p'ecged my word to the public,and that I saw noother means by which to clear my lisbi {ties tohia, he consented to waive h s objeciiong, acd the bal masquc was allowed to take plave, but only be it understood «n my executing an assignmen? to him of the whole of the proceeds of the carnival and ball.

By an accident, awful, sudden, imcructeble, but which no care cr foresight, no efforts of any human being ¢)a!t have averteé, and whick no man eat deplore more than [ do, the fire breke out. I and every unl employed by me, put forth our best energies first to stop wud when we found our efforts mastered by vuptrhuman power, to al Jeviate the disaster. But all was in vain: the desree had gone forth; the doomed pile coded to ita, remorsslens for, and in a jew hours there were but§ blackened and amou - derirg ruins to tell where Covent Garden liad been, And now, when the engines were yet playing on the charred timbers of the magnificent édifice, another oon: fisyration broke out.
