Monaignor Franchi , the Papal Nuncio at Madrid , a short time aince demanded his passports ; with which request the Spanish Government lost no time in complying . The cause is said to be the measure respecting the sale of Church property , which has necessarily given offence at Rome , and against the acceptance of which Monsignor Fr&nabi vohemently exhorted the Queen . But rumour speaks of his having been tlie . centre of the recent Carlidt plots ; and , at any rate , the Spanish Government appear to be highly delighted at his departure .
