The horrible system of reprisals having ceased in
Spain, the two parties amuse themselves in marching
backwards and forwards, without making the slightest
attempt by any decisive steps to bring the contest to
an issue. They seem anxious indeed to convince the
world that the Spaniards of the present day can fight
only as assassins or executioners. EsrawrEtto, some
twelve month's ago, marched from one part of the country
to another, acting as executioner general on his own
troops. Then Carlists and Christinos butchered their de-
fenceless prisoners in cold blood. MAROTO next followed
the example of ESPARTERO, and put to death some of
the most faithful supporters of DON CARLOS, and,
having performed these achievements, they remain in
utter inactivity. VAN H ALEN, the aid-de-camp, of
ESPARTERO, it is true, has just made a pretence of at-
tacking the enemy, but in such a pusillanimous and im-
becile manner, that the Commander-in-Chief has
cashiered him, and put the main army in motion.
to save his own character. It is needless to say
that this, like all his other movements, will end where
it began, and further, that till the leading powers
of Europe interfere, there can be no peace or security
for Spain. It appears from the French papers that
Lord PALmunsToN is pressing this on Austria and
Prussia—that the former power is favourable, and that
in all probability the other will accede ; but that the
great obstacle is the leaning of Louis PHILIPPE to the
monster DON CARLOS. " Prance," says the Courrier
Francais, " has not supported these steps, and the-
Northern Powers therefore cannot fail to conclude that
she will not be displeased to witness the triumph of DON
CARLOS." "We will not take upon ourselves," this
Journal adds, "to explain the truly absurd policy of
France with regard to Spain. Here is an occasion to assist
that country without risking the life of a single men", or the
loss of a five franc piece, yet the French Government
refuses its aid." Thanks, however, 'to TIIIERS and his
party, this system cannot long continue. The late
elections, and the present ominous appearance of the
Chamber of Deputies, speak in terms that Louis Pm-
LIPPE cannot fail to understand. He leans to DoN
CArtLos with the blind obstinacy of an old Bourbon
dynasty, and prefers the alliance of the Emperor of
Russia, who would have crushed the revolution of
18:30, to that of the people of England, who hailed it
with unanimous consent—two very intelligible reasons
for deciding the choice of the French nation.

Madrid Papers to the 13th instant inclusive, with
letters from Bayonne of the 16th, have been received.
They announce the disgraceful ilight of General VAN
lIALEN from before Segura, occupied by CARRERA, and
that such was the indignation of the common soldiery
that they openly revolted and deposed their General.
This is in part confirmed by the publication of a des-
I patch from VAN HALEN to the Minister of War. On
the 7th the Madrid mail was stopped by a band of
mounted Carlists near Baylen, and the escort, consisting
of six individuals, mercilessly murdered. In La Mancha
the Carlist butcher. PALILLOS has refused quarter to
every Christino falling into his hands. All that are
taken are instantly shot.
The Madrid Government have succeeded in making
a new contract for the supply of the army of the
North for three months. DON CARLOS has established
a new Government Junta, of which Father CYRIL is to
be Vice-President. On all sides great preparations are
making for an active campaign.
Our Tory Contemporary the Herald observes that,
notwithstanding the poverty of the Royal Treasury in
Spain, the Queen-Regent has contrived that her in-
come of 400,0001. from the State shall not remain in
arrear. The Herald need not be reminded that Royal
personages, whether in England or Spain, sel-
dom think in exacting their allowances, of the
poverty and sufferings of those whose industry
is taxed to support them in unmerited afflu-
ence. Why thousands of the poor of England arc
left to starve in the streets, while the pittances wrung
from them ate devoted, by ostentatious selfishness, to the
building of churches in Malta, and cruising about the
Mediterranean, might puzzle a reflecting Spaniard
almost as much as the extravagance of Queen
