1 In May 1848, Mr. Bulwer was ordered by the Spanish government to quit Madrid within forty-eight hours, on the alleged ground of his improper interference in the internal affairs of the kingdom. The minister of Spain, in London (M. Isturiz) was, in consequence, informed by the British government that he could not be allowed to continue at the court of Great Britain as minister from the Queen of Spain. M. Isturiz took his departure, therefore, from London on the 14th June following; and diplomatic relations were not renewed between the two countries until April 1850; when Lord Howden was appointed British minister to the court of Madrid, and M. Isturiz returned to the court of London. G 2
