SPALN.

The Datil, of this day publidwr an analysis of
the Royal speech, which will be reed by General
Narvaez, in the Queen's name, on the Id of May, at
the opening of the Spanish tarts. The speech is
drawn up by M. Pidal.
It will announce the reestablishment of a good
understanding between Spain and Rome ; renewal
of friendly relations with the Court of Russia. The
hope is expressed that the difference with Mexico
will be amicably settled, but not 11111C111 the honour
of Spain is satisfied and the interests of Spaniards
in Mexico guaranteed in future, and an indemnity
paid to those who have suffered. Should the condi-
tions put not be granted, Spain, despite her sincere
wish for peace, will not hesitate to have re-
course to coercive measures. The Qasus
calls the attention of the Cartes to the
internal condition of the country. Peace and
order prevail everywhere. A veil of obli-
vion is to be thrown over the past. The
difficulties caused by the high price of pro-
visions have been happily overcome by a series of
well-combined measures. The loan is especially
mentioned as having enabled the Government to act
without complying with the enormous exactions of
Spanish etspitalists. The conditions of the loan have
been faithfully fulfilled. The Queen will recommend
a series of political and financial reforms; a bill
for the reform of they organisation of the Senate
will be brought forward very early in the session,
as also a bill for reforming the regulations of
the two Chambers. The Senate, as now constituted,
consists exclusively of members appointed by
the Queen for life. It is proposed to introduce
a new element into this great body which
will give it greater authority and add to its
lustre. The Senate would lase nothing if it com-
prised a certain number of hereditary senators se-
lected from the Grandees of Spain and possemors of
large territorial fortunes. The fortune would be the
dotation of the title, and would descend from gene-
ration to generation with the title to the eldest sons
of the Senatorial families. The existing regulations
of the Senate and of the Chamber of Deputies have
engendered many abuses which continually impede
the public service and the progress of the govern-
ment, and will ultimately throw discredit upon the
parliamentary system.

. . .
Finally, the speech from the throne will give
some explanations on the bills that will be presented
by the government for the regulation of the finances,
with a view to establish the financial system upon
the principles of economical science and the wisdom
of experience.
