MADRID. Om 27.
The manifesto of the government has hardly
produced either the amount, or indeed the evict
hind of effect, which was calculated upon by its
authors. Of mune Were are a number of person.,
the editors of the journals which repres :nt the
ndniateriail party especially, who are d•dightel
with its well-roended phrases, and incept tt ea
one of the ablest and most exhaustive state papers
that have ever been published. The niajoray of
people with whom I have conversed upon the amb-
led are, however, inclined to object that it is
somewhat too vague and indefinite in ita language.
Upon one point the language of the manifesto is
held to be plain enough ; and no doubts are
enteitained, either by those who approve of, or
those who object to its terms, as to what is
their meaning. I race to the question of
the form of government which is in future
to j relied in Spain. After the way in
which this subject is mentioned no mil
seems to question that all the influence and an-
thority of the government will be exercised in
favour of the establishment of a eoultitutional
monarchy. mid to thwart and diecouragethe efforts
of those who are agitating—l do not use the word
in any offensive eense—in favour of a re üblie.
That the exertions of this clams of politieiin
bare for some time been very busy preparing for
the approaching elections, will le greatly sti-
mulated by this declaration, there can he n., 1
doubt ; awl unless the supporters of itienarelliral
institutions bestir themselves, they may find reason
to rennet the indiscretion which gave the alurm
before preparatione had been made for the
confiii t. Already one of the "(Lepel:retie jour- I
tale las taken up the gauntlet; and; tidying
upon the complete liberty of the prios wide!'
now exists, has raised a " Viva " for a Spailion
republic. To this course it expressly helmet°,
that it has been impeled by the hinge:leo of the
administration, which has forced it to abandon the
is sieve that it had hitherto maintained, and t
pionounce distinctly in favour of thist form of go-
eernment which alone will afford an uileau ate I
guarantee for the permanence of the liberties
which have recently been couquered by the
Fj anish people.
Then: is one subject, and that a topic of the
greatest importance, upon which the languag.e of
the neinife.to and the action of the government
are teginning to be regarded in:,
and, I might almost say, suspicious in 1
the highest degree. " Liberty of religiose "
was ones of the principal inscriptions upon the
revolutionary banner ' • it WRY one of the
earliest prof... Mona in the mouth of the Central
Trite, end, if I mistake not, of the Provisional
Covernment. As yet, however, no decree has
lien issued upon the subject. This question of
religious liberty is by no mean, confined in its
interest to Englishmen or members of the Anglican
persuasion. In the south of Spain, in Andalusia
especially, there are, and have been for at least
sixty years, a oinsiderable number of protestant.—
some people say as many as :10,003 or 40,000 -who
have durmg that period been compelled to practise
their religion more or less in secret, but who
look to this revolution to confer upon them the
right openly to profess and to teach the faith
which they hese embraced. A few years ago
these people nee in arms to defend their religion,
but the strength of the government was too
much for then. and the sin of rebellion against
the Roman catholic church was punished at the
cost of many liven, some sacrificed in the field anil
sonic uriin the steroid. But it in not Christians
alone who are prepsred, and indeed are 'axiom,
to avail themselves of the religious liberty which
has been promised by the provisional govern-
tie nt. Every one in acquainted with the
sad story of the expulsion of the Jews from
Spain; and every one knows how
material and political strength the oountry
lost by the adoption of that foolish and
inliun:an step. Despite the severe unit complete
measure,' which were adopted for carrying the
decree into elect, it is probable that then, has
never been a time whim there have not been some
Jews in Spain ; and now it appears that these
industrious and thrifty people are on'y anxious
to return to the country which centuries ago thrust
the in out of her bosom, and to centrilece by their
skill and industry to the develop:wait of her
hitherto Anima untouched risotto es. Alio sly
telieve that at least two applications have been
nude to the l'rovisionalGoverninent for ivennission
+o build synagogues; but they have not, as far as
I can horn, received any more attention than a
ropitet which has been made on
behalf of the English protestant If,
however. thirty of religion can hardly at
prevent be regarded as certainly established in
Spain. measures are already being adopted to take
advantage of the liberty of education, which was
another important pert of the revolutionary pro-
gramme. This morning I noticed upon the walls
of Madrid the advertisement of a school which is
about to be opened for the instruction of the mem-
bers of the working classes. In (miler to meet
their eonsmience and to suit their purses the
'wheel hours will be from six to eight o'clock in
the evening, and the charge for instruction iu
reading, writing, and arithmetic will be only ten
relate, or about four and a half francs a month.
Eton this moderate charge will, I fancy, include
the provision of pens, paper, and other school ne-
cessaries. The great want of the Spanish people
at the present moment is a good sound eiliiiatiou
freed from priestly interference or sectarian influ-
ence; and it is greatly to he hoped that the ex-
ample set by the promoters of this establishment.
who I should imagine are actuated by feelings of
pure benevolence, and do not expect to make any
profit from their undertuking, may he followed
not only in Madrid but in other parts of Spain.
