THE KIEL SPEECH.

The press of Vienna is extremely indignant v.
the Kiel speech of the King of Prussia; King
William is called '• a Tertuffe, w•ho under the
meek of pious phrases is full of pride and ambi-
tion." A high personage in Vienna► is reported to
have said to the ex-King of ITenover :—•• The
speech of the King of Prussia at Kid may make•
it poosible for you to recover your throne." I
believe firmly,•" replied King Gorge, •' that the•
possibility will soon be an accomplished fact."

Owing to the interruption of the telegrap'si-
ccnimuuications we are still without news oat
moment I mu writing) of a very hapA.:a:it
flecitic nature from Spain.
It is stated that the Rev.intim:try C .tinnittoo
has been for sane time regularly constitatrd at
Madrid. in uutitipstion of coming eve:its, awl is
con 1:(1,1.(1 of the most nspectable and intluen ill

1;, n. rids of the liberal ninon. on the
oth. r, General l'riin and M. Olozaga ; and I
understand the committee is invested with fall
powers. In thin committee, it is asserted, is the
Marquis of sun-in-law of the late
Marshal °Donna and formerly minister, and it
is through him that Marshal Conchs is lahouring
to prevail on the revolutionary party to accept the
tegtncy until the Prince of the Asturias is of age.
The appointment of Marshal Concha, by the
Queen, as President of the Council, seemi to have
tern a well-conceived stroke of policy with the
view to obtain the alliance of the Emperor NA-
polecn. The marquis is of all the p3liti.-al
personages in Spain the most in favour at the
court of the Tuileries, of which distinction be is
not, according to the following sketch of hi.
carver, altogether undeserving. •• lu 1532,- sty:
the airende, he wits an unibussad,r at I'. rise
when, in the month of December the Spanish
Chambers were deliberating upon the conduct of
Prim, in Meilen. Concha rcsiguisl, iu order t •
take part in the dtbates of the Senate, where be
Imtollea the wise regeneration of Mexico by Preach
arms, and applauded the conduct of Prim. After
the reap (raid, Concha became once more Minister
of War, President .4 the Senate, and was deco-
rated, eulogised, and enriched by an admiring
people. At the period of the crisis he rose to the
highest rank in public estimation, having to en-
counter as his adscrsaries all his of friends of the
liberal union." We shall uuw see what his course
and his fortunes will be.

Colonel Ilahirick has issued a long proclamation
to the Catalonians. After setting forth the griev-
ances of the insurgents, the Colonel calls to
anus in the cause of liberty. He says in
one part We have been treated as beaten
factious, and wt will remain factions until victory.
by avenging our heroic ancestors, shall assure
liberty for ever to us and our children. ' Tn the
concluding paragraph he declares his resolute ee-
termination to respect the rights of prop rty and
the sanctity of the domestic hearth ; swears
that he will subject to exemplary pi:nisi-molt any
telelie rs under his command who infringe his
orders in this respect. The proelamati en is ad
dressed from " the Camp of Liberty."
The latest &spat:hes just rce.ived in Paris stat •
that the insurgents are masters of thvt part tit
Madrid. the Puerta del Sol. The lower streets
are defended by barricades, which are vigorously
attached by the revolutionary party, raising s
deg with the national colours, and lastr:itg the
words " Libardad del Peninsula."
The revolution founded an official organ on tin
19th, culled the Official Bulletin of the Ben !talon,
and about the size of an ordinary sheet of letter
paper. Barricades Dave been thrown up at Sara-
gossa. Santander, a strongly fortified owe, has
joined the revolutionary movement.
Thu Bourse has not continued the upward move-
mead to-day which it took ye:sterility owing to the
pacific nature of the King of Prussia's speech.
That speech is already forgotten. and atten-
