According to the Foreign Office documents, Count Ofalia WROTE to Sir George Villiers on 5th May, ENCLOSING a copy of an advertisement inserted by Lieutenant Graydon in the Boletin Oficial de Malaga, which, translated, runs as follows:

The paragraph which has the post of honour is headed "Oficial," and has in it a flavour of the Court Newsman. "S. M. la Reina y sus augustos hijos continúan tambien sin novedad en su importante salud." "Her Majesty the Queen and her august children also continue without alteration in their precious health."

"'To prison, my poor child, I replied, as gently as I could, just as any kind-hearted soldier is bound to speak to a prisoner, and especially to a woman. "'Alack! What will become of me! Senor Oficial, have pity on me! You are so young, so good-looking. Then, in a lower tone, she said, 'Let me get away, and I'll give you a bit of the bar lachi, that will make every woman fall in love with you!

El Gazeta Oficial in commenting on the situation, saw in the anti- Catholic tracts circulated by Graydon "part of the monstrous plan, whose existence can no longer be called in question, concocted by the enemies of all public order, for the purpose of inaugurating on our unhappy soil a SOCIAL revolution, just as the political one is drawing to a close."

"Ah, yes, a soldier of the law, what you call an oficial de policia, a chief of gendarmes, my sister, but not a gentleman a camarero to protect a lady." Mrs. Tucker would have uttered a hasty reply, but the perfect and good-natured simplicity of Dona Clara withheld her.

I don't know why, but at that moment I should have liked to have been a hundred feet beneath the ground. "'Agur laguna,* said she. 'Oficial mio! You keep guard like a recruit, and before I could find a word in answer, she was inside the house. * Good-day, comrade!

Borrow saw that his departure from Spain would be construed by his enemies as flight, and that their joy would be great in consequence. The Spanish authorities were determined if possible to rid the country of missionaries. The Gazeta Oficial of Madrid drew attention to the fact that in Valencia there had been distributed thousands of pamphlets "against the religion we profess."

Honradissimos son mis motivos, ni tengo proyecto ninguno, o de comercio, o de la soldadesca, no siendo yo, o comerciante, o oficial. Hidalgo catolico soy, de hacienda in Ynglatierra, y muchos anos de mi vida he pasado en caminar. Ultimamente, de Demeraria vengo, la quai dexe el 5 dia de Abril, para ver este hermoso pais, y coger unas curiosidades, especialmente, el veneno, que se llama wourali.
