STATE OF PARTIES IN SPAIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. No. I. SlR,.—Whilst, from the peculiar and exclusive sources .of foreign correspondence which you evidently possess, you have been enabled to lay before your readers, the most comprehensive and faithful details of the actual po sitiou of continental and trans-atlantic affairs, for many inonths past ;—and the important and Fighly interesting series of LETTERS upon the STATE of MEXICO, which I am happy to see commenced in your excellent paper--' coming, as their matter and their manner alike indicate, from the pen of some individual whose observations are the result of long political experience,—cannot fail, in their progress, to develop the most material facts con nected with the present condition and the ultimate objects of SPAIN, as well as with the internal resources, the coin inercial interests, and the political capabilities, of the MEXICAN REPUBLIC; allow me, as a SPANIARD, to ', request you will favour me by giving contemporaneous ' , publicity, through your columns, to a temperate and dis - ' pass ionate view of the internal STATE OF PARTIES IN, ' Sr s IN. Now that the termination of the war in the' , East has left Eu ROPE in tranquillity, to contemplate with', astonishment the triumphs of RussiA,—and , with', infinitely more surprise, the advantages which her', policy has reaped from those triumphs ; and at a period when no other sounds of war are heard through all the world, save those occasioned by the Spanish invasion of MEXICO ;—it is natural that public attention should again be called towards SPAIN, — a country which must now be considered as on the eve of a crisis arising from the marriage of the King. In ab solute Governments, the marriage of the r ei g nin g Prince 1 is always an eventful circumstance ; because it almost invariably happens, that the motives and impulses which influence his decisions are thereby changed ; and, in so much, the relative strength and condition of opposing parties in the State are altered. Situated as SPAIN now is, every reflecting man inquires what benefit she is to derive from such a crisis? Without replying directly to this q uestion, it may be sufficient to pres ent to the world some data for the due consideration of the subject. Those who are even slightly conversant with the affairs of SPAIN, are aware that the destinies of that country are influenced by TWO parties.—The one, called Moderate—or Fernandine--consists principally of the civil and military employis, and some of the Ecclesi astics i—the members of this party stand upon the basis of the " Uti possidetis," and their great object is to keep affairs in their present condition, —admitting only of such incidental changes as may be deemed expedient for the preservation of the whole, with which even the permitted changes must harmonise as completely as re pairs made in a Gothic edifice, with the principles and appearance of the original structure. The other party is denominated Apostolical—or Cartista,--beemms the Infant Don CARLOS is at the head of it—or, at least, because its Members would uphold their own importance by having it supposed that he is their political leader and they consist, principally, of the ecclesiastics, and of all those who either have rendered, or pretend to have' rendered, great services to the cause of " mito t Absoluti w ithout receiving, as they imagi ne, rewards adequate their services. The object of this party, is the restoration of the affairs of the kingdom, to the state in which they were before the reign of CHARLES 111. And for the furtherance of this purpose, they are leagued with all the Apostolicals of foreign countries—especially with those of FRANCE; and the Jesuits are the very soul of this party. But the politician would form a very erroneous notion of the two parties, who supposed them to be decidedly di vided :—there are many of them who, like the blended colours in painting, change imperceptibly and almost in stantaneously ; and to these it is difficult to assign a dis iinct place in either of the State-factions. But if the po litical obeerver might thus be deceived by the indecision of some of their characters; neither would his opinion be well founded, who could be led to believe that all these men are furious and ignorant partisans :—there are, in both parties, and especially in that distinguished as the moderate party, many men who must not be regarded with indifference. They have past their youths at the Universities, and in Military Colleges, and in the Army ; and they have subsequently had consider able experience in the affairs, or the intrigues, of State, either in official stations at Court, or in in ferior employments ; and, by dint of application and the exercise of their abilities, they have sprung to the places they now hold—which, as it has been the study of their past lives to attain, so it is now their study to keep; and they seem not less successful in the latter, than in the former effort. By attentively considering the elements of each of these parties, we shall discover the source of their strength, and the sphere of their respective action. The moderate Party is not qualified for enterprise, or for energetic operations; their capability consists in main taining the fences—weak as they are—which, as oppor tunity allowed, their ancestors raised against the arbi trary power of Kings. The Apostolical Party, on the contrary, is active, enterprising, restless; —incessantly at tacking those feeble barriers ; and,—as they calculate upon the natural propensity of Monarchs to rise above the laws,—the Apostolicals are seldom unsuccessful in their assaults. The KING, placed between the two parties—like the needle of the compass,—attracted, on the one hand, by Ma own passions, and on the other by regard to his own preservation, will not incline to the latter, but when impending danger deters him from the former. Here, we shall find the clue, by which we may hope to unravel all the events that have taken in SPAIN, since the return of FERDINAND to MADRID in 1823. The Apostolicals loaf no time, at that epoch, in attacking the Moderate Ministry appointed at the suggestion of MARTINGALE, seconded by the DUBS d'Arr GOULEME ; and they succeeded so far as to plunge GENERAL CRUZ, Milliliter of War, into a dungeon ; whilst they compelled O'FALis Mi nister for Foreign Affairs, to seek an asyl um ' in FRANCE. But their triumph could not be complete. They required in the department of Foreign Affairs a man capable of entertaining the members of the Diplo matic Body ; and they pointed out M. ZEA BEitmunEz, as the least obnoxious person ; and further suited to their views as an adept in the plans of Restoration, with which ° it was supposed he had been rendered familiar by his ~.' long residence in RUSSIA, whose Court is the acknow- I - lodged abettor of retrogradation, in every kingdom but its own. But M. Zes BERMUDEZ having passed through PARIS and Low DON, on his way to MADRID, received, no doubt, in both these places, such hints for his political guidance, as unfitted him for the wishes and views of the Apostolicals, or even of the Moderates. The commence ment of his official career was ominous ; and at every step he blurred his reputation with blots that be will find it very difficult indeed, if not utterly impossible, to efface. But we must give him credit for sagacity, and an enter prising spirit ; and, fairly considering the times and cir cumstances in which, and under which, be laboured, his success was prodigious ; he discredited and subdued the Vohostarios Tealitas—he wrested the direction of the Po llee from the ruffian GoszsLEx, and Wired himself; he bToke open the dungeon door, andcave to i liberty ; he banished from the Court the notorious Don ANTONIO UGANTE, who, from the condition of a broker, sprang up to a station higher tl.an all the Ministers :—he abolished the Military Committee —a species of Provosts' Tribnual—which with out either laws or forms, pronounced judgment upon per,cms of all ranks and conditions ; —and he constituted a fit:?il Con sultiva, or Board of Council, for the purpose of proposini to the Ministers projects of reforms and improvements is every branch of the Administration. Encouraged h th,> success of these measures, he ventured upon a still more I decisive effort—one which, indeed, was indispens thly essential to the commencement of a new order of things in Spain. He undertook to supersede thcl Miaiitcr of War, ATMERICK,R rank Apostolical, and with hint some of the Captains-General of Provinces; and replace them by men of his own principles and spirit ; but this measure failed from the very cause that should' have rendered it effectual, and encountered besides the personal hostility of an individual of the Camarilla. The principal offices of Minister of War and Captain-General of Castilla la Neuva were bestowed on persons who, so far from co operating with ZEA BERMUDEZ, obeyed the factions most interested in defeating his plans. From that hour ZEA BettmunEZ could no longer maintain his position: his fall was neither difficult nor regretted—for he was not supported by any of the influential parties of the In terior.—We have dwelt so long upon the political ctueer of this Gentleman, because he appears like the link which connects the Government of Spain with that of England. The Apostolicals, having gained such a triumph, lost no time in improving it ; and they forthwith appointed to the Ministry the Dyke DEL I N rstiTano, whom they called " the Noble Duke," in affected imitation of the Duke of WELLINGTON. Never did a Grandee of Spain more freely offer himself as a candidate for places of every description, and never did a Grandee evince such an utter incapability and unfitness for all. He had been successively General in Chief, Ambassador, President of the Regency, President of the Council of Castillo, a Courtly intriguer, and the leader of conspiracies ; but in each and all of these capacities he has acquired nothing but dishonour ; rendering affairs complicated and inex plicable, defeating every plot in which he was engaged, and causing every project to fail. Such was the man to whom the Apostolicals, in the hour of triumph, confided the pursuit of their victory. His first act was to insti tute a Council of State, superior to the Ministry ; super seding former Counsellors, and appointing to their sta tions rank Apostolicals: to that Council few of the moderate party were admitted. In order to retrieve the time they had lost, they immediately set about promoting all those measures most favourable to their own interests. They laid upon the Council Table Beports upon the Re establishment of the Inquistion ; upon the augmentation of, and the best method of collecting, Tythes ; upon the means of exempting the Friars from taxes and contribu tions of every kind ; upon the restoration of the direction senoriales (feudal privileges of the Grandees) ; upon the extinction of the standing army, and entrusting all the military duty to the Voluntaries realitas ! upon creating at Court representative bodies of the Clergy and of the Grandees and, in short, upon many provisions of a similar nature. Elated by their success in the overthrow of ZEA BERMUDA, they were not con tent with trampling on the people, but even encroached upon the Royal Authority : and it was curious to see the artful FERDINAND, after having delivered himself over to the Apostolicals, defending himself against their pro jects, with no aid but that which his own cunning (le rived from the secret insinuations of CASTANOS and a few others. But this struggle could not be of long duration ; for the Apostolicals, working upon the passions of the monarch, possessed in their ascendancy an engine too powerful for all his sunning, and for all his sense, however clear and sound it might be, fascinated as he was by the allurements of arbitrary power. At this juncture, the arrival of the CHARTER granted to POR TUGAL, put an end to these political absurdities, and brought with it a new era for SPAIN. With your permission, Mr. Editor, this subject shall be resumed on Monday, by HOPE. PROM THE FRENCH OF CERUTTT.

As St. Thomas's Day approaches, some of the civic body, who have figured on the stage of late, begin to ex claim, " Farewell, a long farewell, to civic turtle!" The Worcester Journal says—" Petitions to the House of Commons are at this time preparing in several towns and villages in this and the neighbouring counties, praying the repeal of the Malt and Beer duties, the Im position of a well regulated Tax upon Property, and also a Tax upon Absentees."

We have great pleasure in noticing the considerate and liberal conduct of those landlords who, in these times of agricultural depression, are attentive to the interests of their tenants. To the instances which we have lately re corded of this kind of upright and generous proceedinft, l we are happy in being able to add the example of Clan& George Thornton, Esq. of Marden-hill, Herts, who, be sides former abatements, at his audit this week made a reduction of 25 per cent. to his Wellingborough tenants, and shown himself prepared, should it be necessary, still farther to meet the demands of the times in their favour. General Birch Reynardson, of Holywell, near Stam ford, has reduced his rents in the vicinity of Wainfieet, 15 per cent. Sir John Trollope, Bart. of Casewick, near Stamford, with the thoughtful liberality which has ever distin guished his family, directed his steward to return 15 per cent. to his tenantry, at his half-yearly audit on the sth instant. We are requested by the numerous tenantry of Colonel Reeve, of Leadenham, to state that in consequence of the great depression in the value of stock, and the deficiency of the barley crops, he has liberally returned 15 per cent. at his audit.---Stamford Mercury. At the audid of Sir F. S. Darwin, held at Newark, on Monday last, his agent, agreeably to directions, made an l abatement of 10 per cent. on the half-year's rents of his rty at Girton, due at Michalmas last. John Jortin, Esq. at his late rent day, at North Nibley, Gloucestershire, unsolicited, returned 10 per cent. for the last half - yea r to his tenantry.— Woreester Journal. J. Tumor, Esq. of Stoke, at his audit on Monday, re turned 20 per cent. to his tenantry at Coningsby, with a promise of further relief should the agricultural distress continue ; and Sir G. Heathcote, at his audit on the 7th lust• made a liberal return. Last week, at the audit of the Rev. J. Banks, of Benevue Lodge, Spilsliy, he returned 20 per cent. up on his tithes. The Rev. E. C. Forward, of Axminster, and Rector of Limmington, made (unsolicited) an abatement of 20 per cent. on the tithes in that paribh, due Michaelmas last. The Rev. Canon Rogers, of Mawnan, at his late tithe audit, in consequence of the depression of the agricultural interests, returned 10 per cent. on the amount received. At the recent audit of the Rev. Fleetwood Parkhurst, of Ripple, in this county, an allowance of 10 penc e was made to the tenantry upon t heir rents. duction, we are given to understand, was entirely unso licited, and its liberality is the more enhanced from the circumstance of the estates of the Rev. Gentleman being already held upon comparatively low rents, he having, some few years since, lessened them fifteen per cent. — Worcester Journal.
