LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY 24.

AGAIN, the world witnesses a repetition of the old
palace and parliamentary troubles at Madrid; and
very naturally the world looks to Paris for
the hand which sets the spring. in motion.
Thus much is already known :—that while the French
Elmlea was perceived by his vigilant subjects to
be preparing as army of observation for as Pyrenees,
matters began to go wrong at Madrid; and that
ESPAITIIO has disappeared and despotism has
triumphed in the palate, just when all France was
convinced that the Enraaos's settled purpose was to
put down constitutional government in Spain. He
now avows the march of troops to the Pyrenees, and
calls it a measure of precaution, bat deelaree the pre-
valent notion of the numbers despatched to be much
exaggerated. If he had not gagged the press. the
real numbers would be known, and he would be
secure from ell suspicions that are really unfounded.
Meantime, everybody remembers the acts of his pre-
decessors towards Spain; and everybody understand.
that constitutional government in the Peninsula, ad-
ministered by Esrattratto, mast be a Me annoyance
toe sovereign at ones absolute and • pereeleu, and that
his empathise mast be os the aid. cdthe psepetrakers
of • vowp deist kw the suppression of popular
liberties. The people may well recall, and every-
where repeat the old lesson, so roughly connected
with the WOO 1118 d AMMO of the first Harems,—
that hie Spanish enterprise begs& with intrigue is
and against the Government of Spain ; that it. imme-
diate memo was complete; and that it brought
after it the rail. Of the Bessrannut.

The lesson is deeply portentous now. All Europe'
is in a ferment, except the few and happy countries
which are constitutionally governed. Everybody
knows that the peace of Europe is as precarious as a
bridge of Ise on the first warm day of spring. The
contlist hawses despotism and her institution is
looked for with every rising sun ; and no sans saan
doubts of the success of the Liberal came in the long
run. In this very conjuncture, the Preach nation itself
lies fettered and gagged; and its ruler has practi-
cally allied himself with the despots against
the peoples,—with the few blind and weak
against the many who have an aim, and power to
achieve it. It the struggle on behalf of despotism in
Spain is supported from without, the conflict will
prensatly spread beyond Spain, into every country
whereas aspiring people is despotically ruled; and
the Dearest althorn* Gauntries is Frazee. The Eyre.
Roes own subjects have believed that se soon ea the
Rusk. war was over, he would tarn his Wooden
to Spain. It be is actually doing so, he would do
well to look to his position, and compare it with the
catastrophe in his uncle's case. His people do not
relish the mod, eight, or memory of a comp defog ;
and O'Dontemi is likely to be less popsies with
them than the Cortes. His people areindleposed for
war, while the financial condition of Frame is emi-
nently perilous, the Ministry despised, the Court
forsaken by the most substantial and respected
leaders of society, all speech and the press made
dumb under intolerable penalties, and the whole
mind and heart of the nation averse to aggression upon
Spain. If the Enraitoa considers that enforced risings
in Spain will cause imerreetion against despotism
in every country from the Straits of Gibraltar to the
Carpathian Mountains ; that no alliance with despot.
can ems his position at house, nor the English alli-
ance avail him in any demoustratims against consti-
tutional government, in Spain or elsewhere, we think
be will hardly pledge himself to so fatal a roars. On
either hand he is encompassed with diMeoldee
and perils. He has out himself off from sympa-
thy and co-operation with constitutional rakes
in the tremendous controversy about to be solved by
Mien I and, if be takes part with absolutism, his
lest bold on the united peoples of England and
Erases is lost, and he will be swept down with the
refuse that the coming d4basle will whirl away. The
duty and the interest of the day is to watch the
demoestrations of the French En mtioa towards Italy
on the one hand, and on the other his closely-veiled
policy towards Spain.
