TEE SPANISH SENATE.

--r- -

SENOR ALVAREZ ON THE ITALIAN QUESTION.
MADRID, Jan. 29.
In yesterday's sitting of the Senate Senor Alvarez de-

livered a speech generally censuring the conduct of the
Government. He said :—" What is the general policy of
the Cabinet ? Ido not know. Everything in the speech
from the Throne is vague and indeterminate. The Cabinet
doubtless believes that the opening of the Cortes is a mere
solemnity. Either it has no political opinions, or it has not
the courage to declare them, following a policy of weakness
and fear which was not expected from the Duke of Valencia.

In fact, if this should be the last page in his history I
should regret it, and so also should I regret that this should
be the last state of the Moderate party. As a loyal adver-
sary I should wish something different. lam grieved be-
cause I should wish to see the monarchy, dynasty, parties,
the Government, the clergy, all, in fact, great in my coun-
try. lam grieved, for Ido not know where we shall be
led by our personalities in politics, which are taking the
place of ideas and principles. We have here a phenomenon
which requires explanation. Here ono Ministry succeeds
another without any of them being actuated by a guiding
principle or possgssing the conditions of existence." Senor
Alvarez then proceeded to point out the inaction and dis-
union of the successive Cabinets for some time past, and,
addressing himself to the Government programme, as
stated in the speech from the Throne, said—" To prove
that the policy of the present Ministry is as inactive as
that of its predecessors, let us review some paragraphs of
the royal speech, first fixing upon that relative to Italy.
This paragraph says as follows :—(Here Senor Alvarez
read the paragraph in question.) That is to say, gen-
tlemen, that because Italian affairs are passing through a
stage of negotiation, the Government considers that it
must fold its arms until a definitive settlement
is effected, and then there will be no course
but humiliation, resignation, or war. Let us suppose
that Italian affairs are unfavourably settled—that matters
aro precipitated—that troubles increase, and that in the
midst of a great movement the unity of Italy, the dream of
Italians, is realised. What would do in such a case ?
would you accept accomplished facts ? would you lower the
dignity of the country ? would you continue in isolation ?
would you declare war ? how and by what means ? Gentle-
men, by recognising the kingdom of Italy, without compro-
mising ourselves in any way, nor accepting any engage-
ment or responsibility—by recognising Italy as Russia,
Prussia, and Portugal have recognised it, we should show
that we have a determinate policy, and the other Powers
would hold us as friends or enemies. They would take us
into account, and seek our concurrence in the settlement of

this and other questions connected with it. The policy,
however, which we now follow completely annuls us. Be-
sides, the Italian question has for us a double aspect—that
of identity and sympathy of race and institutions with that
country, and that of the interests of the Papacy, of Catho-
licism. From both points of view, therefore, it is a groat
calamity that we have not recognised this kingdom. The
Minister said this could not be done in a day, a contrary
policy having been followed for the last six years ; but this
reason, which would be yet stronger coming from the Ad-
ministration which may follow that of the Duke of Valen-
cia, is an irrefragable probf of the policy which the latter
is adopting, and which I oppose as prejudicial and ground-
less. Yes, gentlemen, the interests of Catholicism are in no
way prejudiced by the recognition of Italy, and we should,
on the contrary, be able to support them by being called to
join the council of nations. Nevertheless, I can understand
the system of the Government in this matter, since in the
Italian question is involved that of the restoration of the
princes formerly ruling in that country—a restoration de-
sired by many, to whose demands the Government yields.
These restorations are impossible .and even if they were not
they could not take place without a violent reaction, which
Europe would not permit. Let the Ministers, then, re-
consider this Italian question, and if they are afraid, do not
let them say that it is the interests of the Papacy which
withholds them, because when if, in the course of events
the temporal power of the Popo should be overthrown, the
latter will have very little for which to thank those whd
would not even raise their voice at the right moment, but

allowed matters to take their own course. I believe, then,
that it is neither worthy of the Government nor the Senate
to say in the message that we shall not take part in Italian
affairs until they receive a definitive settlement." Senor
Alvarez touched lightly upon the question of finance, not
feeling competent in the matter. He said, however—" The
Government declares that the state of the finances is fatal,
and that it is necessary to appeal to patriotism and. abne-
gation, an appeal to which energetic and intelligent nations
never remain deaf." Very well. But I should wish to
know why the ecclesiastical property remains unsold, and
why the Concordat is not executed in this point. And I
may add that this matter does not advance. So long as the
country does not see that the Government has employed
every means and every resource at its disposal to relieve
the difficulties of the Treasury, it is in vain to ask sacrifices
of 600 millions, for nothing can be demanded of energetic
and intelligent nations on behalf of weakness and fear.
Another serious matter affords ground for censuring the
conduct of the Government. I speak of the encyclical. This
document was published on the Bth Dec. We had an Ambas-
sadore at Rome, and the Government on becoming acquainted
with the document through the French press, could., concludeelltes
that it must have been addressed to the Spanish.
What, then, did the Government do ? Nothinog;lirso on all.

have been to indicate to the bishops and archbishops
the legislation of our country, to remind them that no
order of the Pontifical Court can be published among us
unauthorised by the Government without violating the in-
terior peace and independence of the State. If the Ministry
had thus acted, it would not have given rise to the conflict
in which wo are now involved, for I now excuse the
Spanish prelates who, having duties to fulfil towards the
Holy See, have not found themselves supported by the Go-
vernment. Some perhaps may have judged that they did
not exceed their powers in publishing the encyclical to
tranquilise their consciences." The speaker concluded by
defending the Progressist party, and rebutting the charge
made against them of disaffection to the dynasty.
