formed, and almost publicly avowed, both in Madrid
and in London. It was to play a double game on
Spain at the same time—the game of revolution and of
counter-revolution. Every effort was made to win ; we
shall even add, that too much was done. It is laboured
to disunite in place of effecting a reconciliation—to
encourage calumny, instead of silencing it. We shall
not dilate upon all that was at once immoral and
illiberal in such a line of policy. Public opinion has
done it full justice. In the face of all those intrigues,
we have never ceased to have full confidence in the
Queen and in the Spanish people. We werc certain
that the Spanish nation would not endure indefinitely
the attacks made or premeditated without scruple
against its independence and its constitution. We
were convinced that the penetration of the young
Queen would demonstrate to her the true friends and
the real enemies of her liberty, her dignity, and her
repose. The intrigue has been defeated. It has been
deranged by the natural and national sentiments
which it could not fail to inspire. We trust that the
Spanish Moderate party will prove that it really is
the Liberal, as well as the Monarchical party, and
that General Narvaez will ,prove himself the most
faithful, as he is already the most illustrious, repre-
sentative of it."

From this last sentence it would appear as though
the intriguers of the Tuileries and the Hotel de Cour-
celles doubted NARVAEZ. For the sake of Spain, we
hope that these doubts may prove well founded, and
that NARVAEZ will show that the first duty be owes
is to his SOVEREIGN and his country, and will recol-
lect that he was a Spaniard before he became an
Afrancesado.

The Constitutionnel says—" We are inclined to be-
lieve that our Ministry was as much surprised by the
downfal of the Salamanca Cabinet as it was by the
check of Narvaez. Spain is placed under the govern-
ment of chance, tempered by palace intrigues. If M.
Guizot had had the slightest part in that new change,
his journals would have certainly accompanied the an-
nouncement by some indication relative to the imme-
diate cause of the event. Be this as it may, it would
be puerile to regard the entrance of Narvaez, Sala-
manca, or any other person into the Cabinet of
Madrid as a political event. Spain is not the
theatre of party contentions, nor even of a
struggle between foreign influences. A Euro-
pean question has been raised by the double mar-
riage. Until that question be settled between France
and England everything must be uncertain, preca-
rious, provisional, in the country where it was asserted
those marriages would restore peace and prosperity.
We know not what attitude the new Spanish Ca-
binet will assume, and what changes will be made in
the interior of the palace. If Narvaez acts the part
which is assigned to him here, he will rather envenom
than contribute to solve the question. One thing is
certain, however—that the change in the Cabinet,
whatever may be its causes, is but an incident of little
importance in the grave European complication which
our conquerors of the Mediterranean have involved
us in."

The National accounts for the change by the fact
that considerable sums were remitted to Madrid by
Madame MUNOZ about a month ago, and that gold is
an irresistible argument in Spain. In support of this
view, it may be mentioned that it was currently
rumoured in Paris that it was only on the pre-
vious Saturday that the remittance reached
NARVAEZ, who immediately visited SERRANO
and was without delay nominated Prime Minister,
Senor SALAMANCA having, in the course of the day,
set off for Aranjuez, accompanied by Senor GAR-
DANA, the rival, as it is said, of SERRANO. But as

the National observes, " the difficulties of the Spanish
question are not of a nature to be made smooth by
NARVAEZ. The great question is still the law to be
passed for regulating the succession of the QUEEN.
To secure the throne for the sons of the Duke de
MONTPENSIER is the object of the Cabinet of the Tuile-
ries. At London, they are urging a divorce, in
order to give the hand of ISABELLA to MONTEMO-
LIN. Onl this condition the Spanish Government
would be acknowledged by the Northern Powers.
In both cases, war must be the result, unless the
Government, after having broken off the English alli-
ance for the Spanish marriages, should become ter-
rified at the probable consequences of the hasty act;
in which case it will have committed an act of folly,
only to end with an act of weakness.

of a great number of voters being struck off the lists.
The Court, notwithstanding the prayer of the over-
seers to have the case " looked over" on account of its
being the first time, the size of the parish, the short-
ness of the time allowed for completing the lists, &c.,
and a promise to avoid the repetition of like mistakes
for the future, fined them in the sum of five pounds.

tor to Mr. Maclean, who has a judgment for 2181. 15s.
3d. against Mr. Browne, the Irish barrister, lately sen-
tenced to transportation for bigamy, but whose sentence
was commuted to voluntary exile, applied Sir William
Somerville for leave to arrest him while he was in
• prison. Sir William Somerville refused granting that
power, and as the Sheriff had no jurisdiction over the

of the bailiff.

understand the present Duke entertains projects of ex•

intends (as a commencement) to offer his tenantry a
more permanent tenure of their farms, by granting
leases on corn rents based upon and varying with the
averages of the Tithe Commutation Act.—Carlisle

CHILD DROPPING.—On Saturday information was
circulated that a male child, about a month old, had

scarf, and had on a hood trimmed with three rows of
