Now that Germany finas it to her interests to pick a quarrel with France once more, in the train of her Ambassador the corps diplomatique is again centring in Madrid, Yesterday we witnessed a spectacle that might vie in brilllancy with any similar display in the palmy days of Lady Isabel IL There were gaudy state coaches, drawn by solemn coursers, be- plumed and bedizened; there were tinselled and powdered footmen, fresh from the excavations of the royal paiace; there were gay hangings and tapestry and flowers, such only as old Spain, atill fondling the illusions of her past great story, can afford to bring out, And ail this lor the | official reception of a brace of foreign Ministers | whose masters have suddenly seen something worth recognizing in a government which the | country itself has not yet been permitted to recog- | nize, and under whose tron heel it groans as it never did in the days of O'Donnell and Gonzales | Brabo!

He was accom- panied by isigadier General O’Lawior, chief of General Serrano’s staf, and tn @ following car- Tlage came the personnel of the Legation.
