SPANISH REGENCY.

The Count de Parsent, major domo to his Royal Highness
Don Francisco de Paula, has sent the following tribute of
congratulation to the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs
on the nomination of Espartero, for the purpose of having it
presented to the Regent :
" As a Spaniard, as an Infant of Spain, as a devoted sub-
ject to, and as the uncle of my beloved and illustrious Queen
Donna Isabella 11., I have the pleasure of most cordially con-
gratulating the illustrious patriot, who, by the supreme will
of the Cortes, has just been elevated to the high dignity of
single Regent. It must be a great comfort to all Spaniards,
as it is to myself, to see the well-deserved proof of gratitude
and distinction with which the country has honoured, on this
solemn occasion, the invincible general, who, after having
saved it from the most horrid dynastical war, has at the same
time preserved its honour, its independence, its constitution,
its throne, its laws, and its liberty, from the gulph of destruc-
tion. 'I he future welfare of the country, for the happiness of
which I have constantly prayed, appears to me under the most
copsoling and hopeful aspect. Its destiny being confided to the
genius sent by Providence to its assistance at the very moment
when destruction stared it in the face, peace, internal harmony,
and complete administrative regularity nil!, thanks to the
powerful assistance granted by heaven, succeed to the uneasi-
ness, division, and discouragement, which threaten ruin—a
happy event, which promises to my country numerous days of
increased prosperity.
"I congratulate my fellow citizens, I rejoice myself, at the
idea that the illustrious Spaniard who has acted with such loy-
alty during the civil war, and brought it to such a glorious ter-
mination, by directing our national armies, will equally know
how, at the head of a generous people, to make the happiness
of her brave sons, raising a wall of brass between the present
and the past, confirming religiously the Constitution and the
laws, giving stability to the throne of Isabella 11., and eter-
nally establishing national liberty and independence. These
hare been the constant objects of my most ardent wishes. I
feel the greatest pleasure in renewing the expression of those
wishes, and I pray Heaven to preserve the days, and to pro-
tect the steps of the illustrious Duke, for the welfare of any
country and for his own glory.
(Signed) " FRANCISCO ANTONIO, Infant of Spain.
