SPAIN.

The new Spanish government has spoken—one
can hardly say spoken out, although the circular of
M. Lorente, the minister of the interior, to the
governors of provinces, which is given below, ex-
presses intelligibiz enoirch the dears of the minis.
ten to exalt the influence of the throne in the
system of the mate. The new ministers declare
fairly enough that they are no friends of the existing
eonstitution, and would make the aberrations and
crimes of their various predecessors the justification of
their own attempts to change its form and substance.
The difference between the cabinets of M. Bravo
Murillo and of General 'toucan seems to be, that
the first was reactionary and bold, but weak; while
the latter is reactionary, without either mutate or
strength. However, Spain and constitutionalism
are the gainers. The government, by submitting
the late bills to free discussion; promise in effect not
to use the violent means resorted to by the fallen
cabinet for shielding their measures from the free
operation of public opinion. Let them cloth* and
the constitution will be safe. After announcing the
change of ministry, M. Lorente says :

Such are the ideas and views of the government relative
to the electoral straggle which is being prepared. The
will of her Majesty is, that you should seek to inculcate
them into public opinion, in order that the electors may
deposit their votes in the balloting urns with conviction,
and with sentiments in conformity with proverbial Spanish
loyalty, end I make this communication to you for your
guidance and government.
A letter of the 18th Mates that the Minister of
Finances had that day received several of the princi-
pal capitalists of Madrid, and consulted them as to
the financial measures necessary for the interests of
the country. M. Bravo Murillo was to leave Madrid
for Bordeaux on the evening of the 18th.
