SPAIN.

The formation of a third political party in the
State at present occupies the whole attention of
Madrid. The people, happy at nicknames, have
already christened it "El partido de los tres
nianolos " from the Christian name, Manuel, belong
ing to the three leaders, De la Concha, Cortina, and
Cantero. "Manolo " is also the common term ap-
plied to the Spanish " snob." The formation of this
party is regarded favorably by Espartero and O'Don-
nell, who dread the attacks of the democratic party,
and hope for the assistance and shelter of this
"tercer partido " to save them from destruction : but
the real object of this party is believed to be the
coalition of the Moderados and Reactionists to upset
Espartero. When this is achieved the coalition will
split, and a desperate struggle between Concha and
Narvaez is anticipated.
The discussion on the bases of the bill on adminis-
trative organisation has been brought to a close in
