ONE PENNY.

SPAIN.

SAN SEBASTIAN, Siam 25.

I left Madrid by the 3.30 express, al it is called,
en Wednesday. It was twenty minift • after its
time in Flatting. We had not proceeded h.►lf an
hour from Madrid when we suddenly came to a
halt in a very wild and desolate-looking region,
and, as it appeared, mit near any station. Several
of the passengers got out and walked about, the
gi:nrds sat down on the embankment and smoked.

A number of workmen proceeded along the line
with pickaxes, accompanied by about a dozen men
armed with rifles, and dressed in a picturesque
uniform of brown jackota with red facings, red
sashes, high leather gaiters, and oocked hats ;
these were rural guards, and accompanied us all
the way to guard our train, as all the guardian
elylles bud been summoned into Madrid. Whether
this injury to the lino was the work of the insur-
gents or the result of an accident, I could
not exactly ascertain ; the railway authorities
naturally maintained it was the latter; however,
it detained us three hours and a half, and as we
managed to lose another half-hour on the way, we did
not reach San Sebastian yesterday till two, instead
of tin o'clock. I have been told that these
nts and stoppages on the line are of very fre-
quent occurre nee in Spain, and that the natives
think nothing :of them ; they are only awes
d' Espana. The first-class carriages!, made in France,
are very roomy and comfortable, and enabled one to
bear the long 24 hours' journey with tolerable
equanimity. At many places along the line the
stations were prettily decorated with flags and
garlands, in expectation of her Majesty's journey
to Madrid ; but that is quite abandoned now, and
these decorations were generally being taken
down. There is no telling how long her Majesty
n:uy have to remain here now—if indeed she is
able to continue in her kingdom. San Sebastian
looked particularly gay as I entered it from the rail-
way. Flags are flying everywhere, and several
triumphal sr chee are erected, in honour both of the
Queen's reside nee here and of the Emperor's visit
last week. It is a noble watering place ; the bays
and rocks are magnificent; the sea, of darkest blue,
rolls in huge waves, which break in clouds of whitest
foam upon the yellow sand ; in every respect, for
surrounding scenery, cool air, and charming walks,
it is superior to Biarritz. I found the hotel, the
Parade Real, excellent in every respect—quite as
clean, comfortable, and well furnished as the
hotels in the neighbouring French watering-
places. As I was walking along the beautiful
promenade which forms a crescent along the bay,
I perceived a large body of sentries before a house
of no great pretensions, which formed the corner
of an uncompleted terrace. I soon discovered
that this was the present residence of her Most
Catholic Majesty Isabella ll.—a great change
from the vast Escurial, or the magnificent palace
which she occupies at Madrid. It is a mean,
three-storied house, with a row of windows in
each story, and somewhat resembling a lodging-
house or second-rate hotel. There is a court, or
garden, in front of it ; the road alone separates it
from the sea. A number of the royal servants, in
tic it handsome liveries, were standing on the
steps, and a crowd was gradually collecting in
front. Soon five carriages, four of which were
each drawn by six magnificent mules, the other
by two, and accompanied by several outriders,
drove slowly up to the door, so I bad little doubt
that the royal family were going out for a drive
this fine afternoon, and that I should have a good
opportunity of seeing them. Meanwhile several
very shabby hack carriages drove up to the door,
from which gentlemen in cocked-hats and
unexceptionable black coats and white cra-
vats descended, and were ushered into the
palace—if it may so be called—to have inter-
views with the sovereign. Officers, too, were
constantly passing to and fro. The royal
flunkeys, in long dark-blue coats, crimson
facings, and scarlet stockings, whiled away
the time as all Spaniards do, smoking their
cigarettes, almost in the presence of royalty. At
last the drums began to beat, and the
standard-bearers raised their colours, the
footmen were all on the alert, and the
Prince of the Asturias—a plain, sickly-look-
ing boy of eleven, though he did not look more
than eight or nine—appeared on the steps, accom-
panied by his tutor, I suppose, and entered one of
the carriages. He was shortly after followed by
three Infantas, rather plain-looking children, of
from nine to four years of age, simply dressed in
white, who, with two governesses, occupied the
next carriage. Two unattractive-looking ladies, one
of whom was by many mistaken for the Queen,
next followed. Meanwhile quite a crowd had
IMF( nibled of all classes and nations—French,
English, German, Basque, and Spanish; they were
allowed to keep up quite close to the carriages,
the soldiers not interfering to push them back.
Her Most Catholic Majesty is notoriously unpunc-
tual ; she kept her carriage waiting at least an
hour and a Leaf, and till long after the rest of
the royal party bad driven away. At last she
appeared, accompanied by her husband and her
uncle, Don Sebastian. The drums beat of course. and
the soldiers presented arms. The foreign portion of
the crowd respectfully raised their hats, but not a
cheer was raised, or any mark of sympathy shown
for her Majesty— indeed, a few Limes were dis-
tine tly heard. The Queen is a stout, portly-look-
ing woman of about forty. She has a pleasant,
good-natured face, end was conversing affably
with those around her; her countenance and
manner certainly betrayed no anxiety as to her
own future or that of her country. She has a re-
markably awkward, rolling walk. The Ring, her
husband, who repeatedly bowed to the crowd, is a
quiet ,gentlemanly-looking man, of not very intellec-
tual appearance. However, he does not in his coun-
tenance betray that imbecility of which he is ac-
cused. The Queen gave more a sort of familiar
nod to the crowd than a bow. Den Sebastian,
her uncle, in whose house she is staying, sat in the
carriage opposite to their Majesties. He is a
venerable and particularly pleasant-looking gen-
tleman.
It is still impossible to get any authentic news
as to the state of affairs in this distracted country.
No foreign newspapers are allowed hero, at Ran
Febastian. This morning, Wednesday, Madrid
papers had not arrived in the cafes. All the
news we get is from handbills stuck on the small
public buildings, which announce great victories
by the Queen's troor over the insurgents, or the
return of cities which have pronounced to their
allegiance. At Madrid people seemed certain that
the popular party would triumph in the eud, and
that the Queen would have to give way, and pro-
bably without a struggle ; but if the troops remain
loyal, and a struggle rally begins, there is no
tilling when or how it may end.
