Madrid, March 0. There was a strong debate during the session of the Constituent Cortes yester day. Th KepnbllcMi members made bitter attacks upon tbe Ministry for their alleged monarchical proclivities, and demanded that the Duke of Mont pensler be divested of his rank of a marshal of Spain. They also acoused the provisional govern ment of endeavoring to smuggle him Into the coun try for the purpose of placing him ou the throne. General Prim replied that the Duke could not with justice be deprived of his title of marshal. Admiral Topete, Minister of Marine, amid great excitement, doclared that a kingdom, with Mont pensler on the throne, was preferable to a republic. Marshal Serrano made a calm and dignified speech, defending the provisional government from the attacks of the Republicans, and asserting the sovereign authority of the Cortes, and Insisting that the determination of the form of government for Spain and the choice of her future rule should be left to the Cortes alone, lie doprecated tho violent pressure brought to bear upon the Cortes by the Republican party, as impolitic and unfair. In the course of the session the Foreign Mlnlxtcr of Finance expressed himself in favor of freo trade, and advocated a gradual reform in the customs by the adoption of a compromise tariff.

His Letter Resigning; the Ollice of (Secretary ol the ireasnsy. Washington, March 9. Mr. A.T. Stewart to-day declined the office of Secretary of the Treasury, and President Grant accepted his declination. This morning, according to the previously ex pressed purpobo of Mr. Stewart, he prepared and executed a transfer of his entire interest lu the protits of the business of A. T. Stewart & Co., du ring his orhclal term, to be applied to charitable purposes. This course met the general approval of come leading Senators and members of the House, but did not seem to satisfy others, who insisted that Mr. Stewart could not quality mmseir snort or an nliKolnta shIb anil illsnosltion of the nronertv ha owns connected with his business. This document was drawn by Judge Hilton and Judge Davis, the latter a member of the House from New York, in connection with other legal gentlemen, and upon its being executed, wa delivered in the presence of ij uage uavis, wno witnessed it. Alter this was doue Mr. Stewart and Judge Hll ton, by appointment, visited President Grant at the White House this afternoon. When the trans fer was proposed yesterday by Mr. Stewart, Presi dint Grant annroved of It. nrovltleil it could be f'one to meet the legal objections, and expressed his high appreciation or air. atewart's purposes, but, at the same time, said he scarcely felt warranted in doing so, because Mr. Stewart would have to make so great a sacrifice; and, not only at that time, but in tue evening expressed mmselt to tne samo effect to many members of Congress, who canto upon mm witn reference to tue secretary sLin. , in this way publicity was given to Mr. Stewart's purpose. The consequence ot this has led to many expressions of opinion concurring in tho view that, hIi liouch this would meet the letter of the statute. it might possibly be construed into an evasion of Its spirit, anu unuer iucsb circumstances air. a cow art was prepared for either emergency, and having r fleeted upon the matter, he determined to leave the question to the result of a conference with the President. In this spirit they met this afternoon, and the conclusion at which they arrived was that it. unnlil be less embarrassing to the administration of President Grant for Mr. Stewart to place in his bands a tormui uucmiauuu ui mo oucreiurynuip, mirt in tlits manner avoid any comment by those who considered that the law must bo strictly com nlled with. The interview was long, and marked t . . . .i 1 1 1 1 ... by tue uimosi toiuiuinj. ''i i... c.iiniviiiif Is Mr. Stewart's letter: wmmouTDN. March 9. ISO) To the President Sir- Appreciating the high honor conferred by 1 the unanimous continuation i,v the Senate of myself to the ottico of Secretary of the Treasury, 1 regret that circumstances beyond cultita presented by the provisions of the act of niUwhlch in organising the Department of the Treasury prohibit the Secretary from being di rectly or Indirectly concerned or interested lu ear ning on the business of trade or commerce-be ttvcxxouMi Mi Aiiy.-xaHojibla..ac.rlJ)ce personal tp Uttntfer to the hande vf KonWemen la wh U subllo have full confidence every Interest In the gains and protits that could possibly accrue to my self in tbe business of my house during my ofllcial term, to be applied to such public charities as their judgment should dictate, and have proposed and sought, by the execution of appropriate instru ments, to accomplish that end; but serious differ ences of opinion have been expressed as to whether that course would satisfy the requirements of the law. Although 1 will not hosttate to make this appropriation provided it would enable me to ao cept the office, and thus unlto my efforts with your own and those of the other members of your Cabi net in restoring economy, honesty and strict fru- nllty in the administration of the government, and ft as rapidly as possible from the people the great burdens of taxation, debt and extravagance resting npon them, yet the business relations of my firm in its connections with others largely interested in their continuance aro such that they cannot be severed summarily, nor can my interest be wholly and absolutely disoscd of without producing great embarrassment and loss to others with whom I nave been connected. I cannot consent to enter upon the administration of laws by any act or course that can be construed Into a disregard or violation of law; and while, therefore, 1 regret that the plan proposed is deemed Inadequate to relieve me from the legal, and, as its seems to me, technical disa bilities. I yield to the better ludirment of nthnrs. rath' r than seem to bo willing to accept a position In disrespect of law. In finally renewing the de clination which was tendered at the outset of these ot ject.ons, I repeat to you, Mr. President, my thanks for the honor done me in offering this high I ositlon, and assure you that you will have my ear nest efforts to sustain your administration in car rying out the wise and salutary measures Indicated by you In entering upon your ollice. Sincerely your friend, AlkxAndkh T. Stkwart. The President accepted the declination, and thus the office of Secretary of the Treasury became vacant. It may be st.atqi that from the beginning the President and Mr. Stewart were in daily inter course, consulting as to the means by which the latter could free hiinsolf from the disability of the law. It is said that no legal gentleman who had been spoken to upon the subject expressed any opinion that there would be a violation of the terms of tho act in Mr. Stowart's accepting the office after having made the transfer, but that many others thought It might be considered disad vantageous to have the spirit of tho law in the slightest degree invaded. This view eventually controlled Mr. Stewart, and in order to remove all objections he declined the appointment. Ever since there have been doubts about Mr. Stewart taking possession of the Treasury Depart ment, telegrams from leading merchants have been received, urging him in the strongest terms tn make any sacrifice, even to the extent of abandon ing at once all interest in his busines to retain the office, and advising him under no circumstances to decline it. Some of the leading members of the two Houses expressed to him similar views. The lowest estimate is that by tho means proposed by Mr. Stewart, at least $6,000,000 would have been given to charities in New York within his four years official term. Mr. Stewart will return to New York to-morrow, before which he will have an interview with the President. The New Hampshire Election. Concord, March 9 The returns from the State election show a smaller vote than in November, but indicate an increased Republican majority over March last, when Harriman was elected Governor by about 2500 majority. The election to-day of Onslow Stearns, Republican, for Governor, over John Bedell, Democrat, is probably secured by 3000 majority. The Republicans also elect a full dele- ation to Congress and a large majorityln the State legislature. Concord, N. H.. March 9 Dover gives StearhS 824; lieiioll 444. uep. gain lus.

Sixty-six towns shsw Republican gains of over 600 since last year. The Governor elect, Mr. Stearns, was called on to-night by a large crowd, and after returning thanks, said New Hampshire would stand by Grant in his declared purpose of introducing economy, retrenchment and reform into every department of the government. As New Hampshire was the first to formally present the name of Grant to the na tion, it is fitting that she should send as a greeting the first indorsement of his administration. The Hon. . H. Rollins furnishes the following dispatch: The Republicans have elected eight out of twelve Senators, and a majority in the House of Repre sentatives of about sixty-one. One hundred and sixteen towns show a Republican gain on the vote of last spring of nine hundred. The Republicans have carried seven out 01 ten counties. Another dispatch says Stearns will have about four thousand majority. All the Republican Con gressmen are eiecrea. STATESMAN UKHI B, VyUNUUKD . n., JUarCU V, 11 P.
