ESPARTERO.

" ESPABTERO for Bing " is reported to be the cry
of Spain. The most temperate of Spanish statesmen
is to be appealed to in his country's greatest
strait; and the crown there has been such diffi-
culty in bestowing is to be thrust on one whose
patriotic efforts, a quarter of a century since, as
Regent were nullified by the deep corruption of
the Court. If this news be true it makes the
latest circumstance of Rerewrino's prolonged life
a logical sequence to what is known of it in the
past. It is when Spain is most troubled
and anxious that she looks to Harker's°.
When the political horizon was comparatively
smooth, O'Dotarnm.'s great rival had been per-
mitted to live in obscurity, while his name was
seldom mentioned in connection with affairs of
state. It was thus, in 1864, when Queen Isz-
BELLA, much against her will, was compelled to
seek him out, and to place him at the head of
affairs, though he had been leading the unobtrusive
life of a private citizen ever since he had returned
from his exile in England years before. It was thus
when insurrections were organised in his name at
Madrid and Saragossa in 1868. He held himself
aloof from a movement of which those really
directing it pretended he was the head; and as if
to prove the completeness of his retirement from
the field of politics he resigned his senatorship in
the following year. It is a strange turn of fortune
which makes him now spoken of as the probable
successor to the throne ; but the whole tenor
of his past career goes to prove that he would, if
crowned, rule constitutionally and well. Himself

The Time obetreas that the contemplation of

No doubt can be felt as to what is the real mind
of the nation on the issues on which it is about to
pronounce. ♦ great and signal victory is within the
reach of the liberal party. But the hand must be
stretched out in order to gain it, and the prise rand be
wiled with no languid grasp. To the liberal party the
nation owes almost everything to which it can look back
with satisfaction in the recent pad. The newly-reformed
parliament will be untrue to its origin it it apostatises from
the cause of reform, yielding the prise of victory to the
men who eold the peas they had sworn to guard, and treat-
ing a capitulating, as it it were conquering, Conserva-
tism.

NOVA SCOTIA.

The lbst says there is no valid reason for supposing
that an amicable and permanent arrangement will not
shortly be come to with respect to the Nova Scotian dig!.
culty. It was hoped that the Americans would almost
immediately have catered into negotiation/ for a renewal
of the Reciprocity Treaty, but unfortunately them appears
to be some hitch about it. This is to be regretted, ea the
renewal of the treaty is a matter of ocasiderable moment
to the Nova Scotian, and would tend to sciethe them :
but inasmuch as the Americans would gain more that' the
Canadians by the treaty, it may reasonably be expected
that it will be concluded after the distracting excitement
of the elections has aubided.

The Trlymph moralise as the fate at saimarchs in
dolma. and Queen Isabella in particular. Whether for
weal or woe, says oar contemporary, mankind thinks kiss of
royalty than it did of old. It is against principles, not
against persona, that war is waged now-a-days ; and
the mere circumstance that Queen babas has been al-
lowed to quit her kingdom peacefully, and betake herself
whithersoever she may think It, provided may that she
leaves Spain., dhows that monarchs are no longer to the
popular mind living incarnations either of evil or of good.
Without an why* dmigglet without en overt retribution,
the dynasty of the Spanish Bourbons pima out of sight in
the Pavillon de Bohan.

Commenting upon the recent accident on the line be-
tween Chepstow and Gloucester, the Herald insists that
these is no reason why the " block signalling," adopted by
the South-Es/Ism Metropolitan, and some other compa-
nies should not be universally employed. It no train were
allowed to leave one station until the preceding Mein bad

reduced almost to a minimum.

/0111071 BONDS.

The Daily Row remarks upon the returning confidence
in foreign securities, and says that at the present time
there NMI to be hardly any limit to the desire for Nub.
scribing to than. In one respect, there is a decided int-
proverosat over the old times, for Russia now, at say rata,
alleges grounds for her claims more tangible than
those which used to appear in the loan proper.
times of ten and twenty yams ago. There can
be no doubt that subscribers to such • loan as the
Dugan Railway Loan have the satisfaction of knowing
that the money advanced will not be misapplied fa the
scandalous legion of covering alma' Mate sassed by
extrevegant and irresponsible esionditure. With this
exception, however, the desire far foreign sesuritiss is
more evinced by the purchases of bonds long ago created,
than of fresh issues. The truth is that few people care to
anticipate the chance of default or repudiation, but if
ever they consider the matter they are sure to form the
conclusion that the latest loans will be the first to
suffer.

OUR PARIS LETTER.

(riot ous ows

PARIS, Sl:maAy Rriortre.

The ex-Queen of Spain was not welcomed to
Paris by genial weather. On the night of her
arrival a sharp frost set in for the first time since
our short Martinmas summer, and snow has
fallen yesterday and to-day. Dona Isabella
suffered so much from the cold during the
journey north of Tours that she was glad to
warm herself for ten minutes in the new waiting-
room reserved for the imperial family at the Or-
leans Railway terminus, though she travelled in
the Emperor's saloon carriage, which one would
suppose to be well supplied with hot water pipes.
When her approach was signalled the court-yard
was cleared of strangers and the gates closed. All
the porters and under employes were also sent
away lest her Majesty might be stared at. General
Castelnan, the station-master, and a director of
the line were the only persona on the platform
when the train came alongside. The King alighted
first, and lifted out the children, two of whom
were little sleepy girls. Isabella got out the last.
Her facie was covered with a thick veil, which she
lifted on entering the waiting-room. The mem-
bers of her household followed at a respectful dis-
tance. The whole party had • fatigued and
depressed air. The courtesies exchanged between
the Queen and General Castelnan, who appeared
on behalf of the Emperor, were limited to a few
words and some bows. Before getting into a
quiet-looking carriage, drawn by a pair of the
Emperor's finest cheimnt horses, the Queen gave a
signal to a lady, who threw a woollen shawl,
which would in Scotland be described as a

McGregor plaid, over her shoulders. The two
younger infantas and the ladies and gentlemen
of the household were accommodated with three
carriages of such plain appearance that the Gazette
de France mistook them for flys. Father Claret
had a coupe all to himself. Two railway
omnibuses, with the servants and some of the

luggage, brought up the rear. As the
Queen arrived at the Pavilion Bohan towards
midnight, just as the Theitre Francais and Vaude-
ville audiences were clearing out, a good many
people lingered about the doors of the house,
where a first floor has been hired for the royal
strangers, but the carriages dashed so rapidly into
the court-yard that the spectators could see
nothing of the inmates through the frosted
window panes. Relatively to the Grand
Hotel, or the Louvre, the Pavilion Rohan
is a modest family hotel. It is not tree
that the suite of rooms secured for the Queen is
" immense." The lodging is neither spacious nor
magnificent, and, with the exception of personal
attendants on the royal exiles, the whole of the
servants were sent on early on Saturday to
the smallest of the two houses engaged for
Isabella in the Champs Blystes. The front
entrance of this house is in the Rue Ponthieu ;
and the palatial mansion built four years ago by
Queen Christina is separated from the one the royal
family will inhabit. The rent of the smallest
house unfurnished is 3i,000fr., and of the other
70,000 fr.

Late as the hour was, the Queen and King
found Queen Christina and the Duke de Rianzares.

The Gazette de France says Marfori is in Paris ;
but if so he must have come privately ; he was not
seen among the attendants at the railway.
Before leaving Pau the Queen and King ad-
dressed the following joint letter to M. G. D'Auri-
beau, prefect of the Basses Pyrenees:
_ _

Ifonsieur le Prefet„—ln leaving the town of Pau to fig
our residence provisionally in Paris we take with us
deeply engrave* in our heath the touching souvenir' of
the attentions we have received from youreeU, the
mayor, and the other authorities of the town,
and the most affectionate gratitude towards the
inhabitants of this noble land of Prance, which has given
us so many repeated Foots of consideration and respect.
The desires of our hearts would not be satisfied if we re-
frained from telling you that, if it had been poweile
for us to console ourselves entirely after the &Motion
caused by the unfortunate destiny of our beloved country,
we should have found that consolation at Pan, thanks
'to the Emperor's goodness and the way in which
you, IL le Aoki, have emended his within. In offering
you this sincere manifestation of our sentiments, we beg
you to transmit the. to all these with whom we cannot
communicate as we should whit, and we venture to hope
that you will not forget us, as Pau, its inhabitants, and
its authorities will never he forgotten by the kings of
Spain. Tammuz.

When the Emperor, the Empress, and the Prim*
Imperial arrived at Compiegne on Thursday earning, night
had already closed in. Their Majesties entered a lades
drawn by four horses, and proceeded to the paste, escorted
by a party of Cent Gerdes and carbineers. The prince wet
seated by the side of General Lepic. Other eirriagei
completed the cent:go. Frequent shouts of " Vies l'En-
pereur !" " Vive Imperatrice '" -ire le PritK,
