'in our Contemporary's imagination. Nobody but him-
self ever beard of it. It is true that the Tories, seeing
no other prospect of office, might feel disposed—as we
doubt not they do—to play the apostate to their prin-
ciples, as the Times has done before them ; but a hat
inducement the Administration of Lord Melbourne
could have to dissolve itself for the purpose of males-
' can with Sir Robert Peel, Lord Stanley, and others of
their political views, is one of those things which are
beyond the reach of our comprehension. For five long
years have Ministers withstood all the artillery which
the Tories could bring to bear against
.them, and why
they should now capitulate to that faction is one of the'-.
things which they themselves only can explain. 11-.
Times arrogates great credit to the Tories for n.
becoming parties to a coalition Cabinet. The mer
would be all the greater if the opportunity had es,:
been afforded, or the offer ever been made to them. H
Lord Melbourne made any advances to the Tories,.
with the view of forming a coalition Cabinet, and they
had refused to listen to his proposals, then, indeed, they
would have had Some reason to take credit for their po-
litical virtue in resisting temptation ; but until their in-
tegrity has been thus tested, we must be excused for not
believing that they possess it. The days of coalition
Cabinets have for ever passed away. No Ministry that
does not take a decided course can ever receive the sup-
port of the countely ; and need we say that without the
support of the country' no Administration could survive a
month. The Times affects to dissuade its party from
coalescing with the Whigs,
were tojoin the Melbourne Cabinet they would
damage
thereby irretrievably on the ground that if they

character, may we ask the Times,remains with the
leading Tories, which can thus run any risk of being ire.
jured ? They have notoriusly lost all political charack
ter already. When the Times talks of Sir Robert
Peel entailing disgrace on himself, were he to become
member of a coalition Cabinet, the Times must be
levelling the most bitter irony at the head of the unfore
tunate Baronet. What deeper disgrace could be bring
on himself by any future political act of his than alres4
attaches to his name? What principle of importance
which he ever held has he not, at one time or other.
abLindoned? His very name is proverbially synonyr
mous with apostasy. Even in the eye of his own gritty
he has already reached the lowest depths of degradation
as a politician. In the event of a coalition Ministß*
being formed, the disgrace could attach exclusively to
such of the Liberals as had become parties to it. But
of such coalition Cabinet there is nof, we repeat, the re-
motest probability ; not ono whit more, indeed, than
there is of Colonel Sibthorp becoming Prime INl:nister
before the close of the approaching session.
(From the Morning Ikrald.)
The Globe of last night contains an article, charac-
tensed by more than its usual flippancy, in which it
professes to invalidate the statements, made in yester-
day's Herald, respecting the note tram Lord Palmer-
ston, which we stated Lord Granville had communi-
cated to M. Guizot. The Globe promises to " de-
molish" our " claims to public confidence ;" we will en-
deavour to show Low effectually. In the first place,
the Globe roundly asserts that " no such communica-
tion as that stated by the Herald was made by Lord
Granville to M. Guizot." Indeed! What authority
does the Globe adduce to prove its assertion? How-
ever favoured by the Foreign-office, the Globe could
not be aware of what took place in Paris during an
interval when the communication between London and.
that capital was interrupted for several days ; for,
be it observed, no news from Paris later than Thurs-
day had been laid before the British public till the
publication of the morning papers of yesterday.
But, says the Globe, by implication, " We have
Lord Palmerston's authority (either specifically or
generally) for denying the fact," or, at any rate, INS
adhere to our assertion quand me»te. If Lord Pal-
merston did furnish the authority for the denial of the
Globe, we have only to observe that a few days must
prove the integrity of even his Lordship's refutation ;
many of Lord Palmerston's statements have, ere now,
been denied ; and, not to multiply instancesut to con-
tent ourselves with the most recent—the celebrated
letter of M. Thiers consisted of little else than the
contradiction of his Lordship's allegations, which the
Globe was content to pass over sub silentio. If rh e
Globe, skilled in that species of controversy which
formed the substance of ancient Pistol's argument, gives
the " word of denial" on its own account, our com-
ment is simply this—that it reminds us of a lady of
coafessedly doubtful reputation, who, being accused of
infidelity, informed her friends that they had " her au-
thority for repelling all such calumnies." The party
interested in the contradiction is cx officio the party
best cognisant of the facts ; but there is the jury of
public opinion. To proceed, however, with the details
of this " demolition," the Globe states that the contents
of the note " are not merely false, they are absurd ;"
and supports this averment by explaining that "the con-
ference has never held any terms,' i. e., relations, with
Mehemet Ali." To what end, then, have the prop°.
sitions tended, avowedly proceeding from the con-:
ference, which, throughout the whole affair, liSv
offered certain conditions to the Paella of Egypt t
Wily was an interval granted to Alehernet Ali
for the acceptance of those conditions, if the conference
had no share in propounding them ? If the " relations"
subsisted only between-tite4our Powers and the Sul-
tan, how did it hrtppen that the squadron of Adm. Stor
ford was made the medium bf communication ? It wot4l
have been time enough far the British fleet to bay
a
sailed from Vourlah after Mehemet Ali's rejection of the
Sultan's terms, if the Mice were only t% have operated
apres
.le coup. Did Ossiaisel Hodges receive his in-
structions from the Sultan or from Lord Ponionby ?—if
from the latter, with what degree of pretension to com-
mon sense can it be alleged that " the political relations
SGullotbaen s

eAdA e
into which the Four Powers have entered are with the
office
rt'hat theeas
of an "e.ryrenzetleur" is one which best befits the cha-
racter of its patron ? The next assertion of the Globe
is another unqualified contradictipn, based upon no
authority better than its own assertion. Alluding to
the means which have been taken to foment an insur-
rection in Egypt, which the Globe says is " pure inven-
tion," is it not " beyond all powers of face" unblush-
ingly to deny that the inhabitants of Syria have de-
rived their means of resistance to the Pectin by the dis-
tribution amongst them of British arms and ammunition ?
Has not M. Guizot positively declared that Lord Palmex-
ston took advantage of the first symptomsof insurrection
in Syria to proceed at once to extremities with Mehe-
met Ali ? Who, then, more likely than he to foment
the insurrection which he has already encouraeed?
The " additions" to the statements in the Herald are
alleged to be "of equal worth with the other parts of
the article." The Glebe, for once, is right ; they are
so ; and whether characterised as " fooleries" by Lord
Palmerston or his deputy, they belong to that category
of revelations which nether would willingly have made
to the public. The treaty of Unkiar Skelessi is a
"foolery," perpetrated by Lord Palmerston, but given
to the world through the columns of the Morning 'He-
rald ; the " Treaty of the Quadruple Alliance" is an-
other, by the same eminent hand, communicated through
the medium of the Morning Herald ; and more recent
state papers have made their first appearance in the
Morning Herald, all of which may prove, as Oxenstiern
observed, " with how little wisdom the world is go.
verned," but cannot invalidate our claim to be consi-
dered the first to put the public in possession of the real
facts of the several questions at issue.

EVENING EDITION.

MANIFESTO OF QUEEN

CHRISTINA.

The following is the manifesto addressed by Queen
Christina to the Spanish nation, mentioned by us a few
days since. It is dated Marseilles, Bth inst.:—
" Spaniards,—When I quitted the soil of Spain on a
day full of grief and bitterness, my eyes, filled with tears,
were raised towards Heaven in supplication to the God of
Mercy that he would bestow upon you, and my august
daughters, his grace and blessing. On reaching a foreign
land, the first desire of my soul, the first emotion of my
heart, was to raise my friendly voice, that voice which has
ever been heard uttering sentiments of the most ineffable
tenderness towards you, both in good and evil fortune.
" Alone, abandoned, a prey to the deepest sorrow, my
'only consolation under this great misfortune is to open my
mind to God and to you, to my father and to my children.
" Do not fear that I shall give way to sterile complaints
and recriminations, or that, in elucidating my conduct as
Regent of the kingdom, I wish to excite your passions.
No ! I have ever done all in my power to calm them, and I
should wish to see them extinguished ; measured terms
alone are suited to my affliction, my dignity, and my glory.
" When. I left my native country to seek another among
the hearts of Spaniards, fame had made me acquainted with
the history of your great actions, and with your great qua-
hulas. I knew that, in all times, you had plunged into the
fight with generous ardour in defence of the throne of your
Sovereigns ; that you had protected it at the price of your
blood, and that, in days of glorious memory, you had
deserved well of your country and of Europe. I swore then
to devote myself to the happiness of a people who had shed
their blood in releasing their Kings from captivity. The
Almighty beard my vow, your testimonies of joyful welcome
assured me that you had anticipated it, and my conscience
tells me that I have kept it unbroken.
" When your King, at the brink of the grave, placed with
his trembling hand the reins of State in my hands, my eyes
were turned alternately towards my husband, fhe cradle of
my child, and the Spanish nation, thus uniting in one these
three objects of my affection, i❑ order to recommend them
in the same prayer to the protection of Heaven. My pain-
ful trials as a wife and a mother, whilst the life of my
husband and the Throne of my daughter were in danger,
did not prevent my performing my duties as Queen. At
my •oice the Universities were opened ; at my voice inve-
terate abuses di-appeared, and wise and deeply meditated
reforms began to pressnt themselves ; and, at my voice,
those who were proscribed, and wandering in foreign lands,
were restored to their homes, which they had so vainly
sought to revisit. Your joyful enthusiasm at these
solemn acts of justice and clemency was only equal to the
extent of the grief and mortifications to which I was ex-
posed. I had reserved sorrow to myself, and given to
you, Spaniards, gladness.

" At a later period, when Gad had called to himself my
angu•t husband, who left to me the 'barge of governing
the whole monarchy, I endeavoured to perform my task as
a just and merciful Regent. In the short period which
elapsed between my elevation to power and the convoca-
tion of the first Cortes, my power was firm, but not de-
spotic ; absolute, but net arbitrary, for my own will pre-
scribed limits to it. When persons high in dignity, the
councillors of my Government, whom I consulted on grave
occasions, itt conformity with the last desire of my august
husband, represented to me that public opinion required
from me other guarantees as the possessor of sovereign
power, I gave them, and of my free and spontaneous will
convoked the Pcoceres of the nation, and the Prccuradores
of the kingdom.
" I granted the Royal statute, and I have not infringed
it ; if others have trampled it under foot, it is they who
are responsible before God, who requires that the laws
m ty be kept holy.
" The Constitution of 1837 having been accepted and
worn to by one, I inaOs, in order that it be kept intact,
the last end greatest of all sacrifices—l laid do.en the
sceptre, and was compelled to abandon my children.
" In stating the events which have drawn upon me
such cruel tribulations, I will speak to you as becomes my
dignity, with reserve and moderation. At a moment
when I was served by Ministers who bad the support of
the Cortes, I accepted their resignation, which was impe-
riously demanded by a revolt at Barcelona. From this
moment commenced a crisis which ended only with the re-
nunciation of power, which I signed at Valencia. Dur-
ing this deplorable period the municipality of Madrid
had rebelled against my authority, and the municipalities
ref other large towns had followed the example. They re-
quired that I should condemn the conduct of Ministers
who had served me faithfully, and recognise rebellion as
lawful ; that I should annul, or at least suspend the law on
the municipalities, after it had been voted by the Cortes,
and that I should compromise the unity of the Regency.
" could net accept the first of these conditions without
degrading myself in my own eyes ; I could not accede to
the second without acknowledging the right of force, which
is not recognised by either divine or human laws, and the
existence of which is incompatible with our constitution
as with all constitutions; I could not accept the third with.
out violating the constitution, which considers all that the
Cortes have voted, and the supreme head of the State has
sanctioned as law, and places beyond Royal power a law
which it has once sanctioned ; I could not accept the feurth
without at the same time accepting my own shame, with-
out pronouncing me self-condemnation, and enervating the
power which the King had cotifi,!ed to me, which the
Cot tea had since confirmed, and which had been preserved
by me as a sacred depo,it, which I had sworn not to de-
liver iLeto the hands of the faction,.
" My constancy in cesisting what neither my duties nor
my oaths, nor the dearest interests cf the monarchy per-
mitted me to accept, h accumulated upon the defenceless
w titan who now addresses you such a succession of sad and
painful trials es cannot be described in any human language.
You will not forget, Spanitirds, that I bore my misfortune
with me from town to town, receiving everywhere outrage
and insult ; for Gud, by one of those decrees which are a
mystery to man, had permitted iniquity and ingratitude to
triumph. Ir is on that account, without doubt, that the small
number of persons who hated me have had the boldness to
insult nee, and that the large number of those who loved me
had sot courage to offer me any other proof of their affection
Mal silent compass;on. Many offered me their swords, but
I would not accept them, preferring to be the only martyr,
rather than be condemned to read hereafter a new martyro-
logy of Spanish loyalty. I might have lighted the torch of
civil war, bit civil war could not be raised by me, who
came to bring you the peace which my heart loved, a
peace cemented by oblivion of the past. My maternal
eyes were therefore turned from an object so horrible, say-
ing to myself, when children are ungrateful a mother
ought to suffer even unto death rather than excite them to
war against each other.
" Many days passing away in so frightful a state, I saw
my sceptre reduced to be no more than a useless reed, and
my diadem changed into a crown of thorns. My powers
were exhausted ; in fine, I laid down my sceptre, and took
off my crown, that I might breathe a free air; an unhappy
victim, but with a calm brow, with a quiet conscience, and
without any remorse in my soul.
" Spaniards ! such has been my conduct. In thus laying
it before you, in order that it may not be sullied by calumny,
I have fulfilled the last of my duties. She who was your
Queen now asks no more of you than to love her daugh-
ters, and to honour her own memory.
"MARIA CHRISTINA."

" THE REPLY OF THE PROVISION I. REGENCY OF SPAIN TO

THE MANIFEST° OF TIIE LATE QUEEN-REGENT MARIA

(714RPSTINA DE BOURBON.

Spaniards !—The Provisional Regency of the king-
dom have not hesitated a moment in publishing the mani-
festo addressed to their ['resident for that purpose by her
Maj•sty this Queen Meeher. Maria Christina de Bourbon.
Determined more and more each day that their acts may
be judged ofeby the nation and all Europe, none of these
acts snail be involved in darkness or mystery, and neither
Spain nor foreign countries shall be left without those data
which are necessary to the full understanding and appre-
ciation
of their conduct. Such is the course which they
conceive every Government having the good of the people
at heart should pursue ; and never shall the Regency lose
sight of this principle, of the utility of which they are
thoroughly convinced.
" But in performing this duty in the position in which
they are placed, and whilst they respect the demands of
her Majesty the Queen-mother as her dignity requires,
they must, at the same time, make known certain facts
which, incorrectly or imperfectly staled, might give origin
to malicious interpretations. In the knowledge of what
these facts were, the welfare of Spain, and character of
those individuals charged at present with its government,
are both deeply interested.
" The members of the Regency were the persons
through whom were made known to her Majesty the
wishes of the people, who had risen in defence of rights
which they considered as having been trampled upon and
scoffed at. The greatest prudence and circumspection
were observed by the Regency in every step taken by them
kvat,the critical and difficult circumstances in which they
in re named Ministers of the Crown. Never was it de-
manded
want of h
dcdot her Majesty that she should condemn the con-
er previous Ministers : it was indeed proposed to
her M ie.s at ).• • in the proeranime of the Regency, the original
of which should be in'her Majesty's possession, ' that she
should address a manifesto to the nation, in which
woald be made to fall, as was but just, the respon-
eihAity of the past upon her legal advisers; and
its which the announcementP of such responsibility,
being effected by legal
ramtee that the constitun
mtioa"' would offer some gua-
wTould be respected in
rOture, and faithfully fulfilled.'wifely different from prejudgingx
his idea, which was
whether such responsi-
hility existed or not, was clearly P
cd in h the i N di
ar
jaef
st t oy f,
e
tfk; manifesto presented at the requestros
r of
r
and in which it was added ' that the errors
those per-
soli: who, in the late epoch, were chargedsof
with giving
advice to her Majesty, had created the critical
and deli-
sate position in which the country was placed,andwhtihche en true or patriotic-Spaniard could behold without
deepest regret. Those who, more than once, by word and
writing, had the honour of assuring her Majesty that
theY
were animated by the purest desire, and had the deepest
interest in the preservation of her Majesty's dignity and
good repute, could never have proposed to her Majesty to
irb whom she agreed in the
pass judgment on individualsw
government of the country ; but it was not condemning
tater conduct to assert that they ought to be responsible
for their eve,. or to affirm that their errors, well known
then, and which might become the subject of impeach-
ment, had brought public affairs to the larnen!able con-
dition in which they then were.
" Neither, Spaniards, was it demanded of her AI jetty
to recognise as legitimate the insurrection. Without en-
r;trae tats tli's useless question, Ministers alone indicated
that the overlooking the acts of the Juntas, so far as they
had violated the ,ri ' lof justice, e' another of
diosenecesaitie i neip es
'that to respects the
by the tithes;' giving as a reason,
be resisted or puttied acts of a revolution which could not
the neglect of whichown, was a principle of government.
had been more than once disastrous,
aid of which we had
mcountry.' Spain and all a
n
y
examples in the history of our
thtedeworld will be able to judge
whether this necessity existed
government was or not, when the power of
the then reduced to the walls of Valencia,
and when it bad actually
province begunarebiteodeoter into terms with
the Junta of the
in
Alcira. Proceed-
ing in this manner, though the people
were left victorious,
whica was inevitable, her Majesty 'would not have been

called upon to acknowledge the legitimacy of the revolu.
tion, or to pronounce an opinion in any way upon this
question.
" It was also deemed indispensable to propose that the
new municipal law should not be can led into execution
till first submitted to the examination of the new Cortes,
with those modifications proposed by the Government, to
place it in harmony with the Constitution.' Not only was the
necessity of this step well founded in the irresis.ible cries
of the people, and which it was in vain sought to suffocate,
but taxo in the fact that in the law of provincial deputa-
tions many of the clauses of the municipal law could not
be carried into effect. Respect and deference were thus
paid to the fundamental law of the State, while necessi-
ties so contradictory in themselves and deserving of con-
sideration were reconciled. _

" Lastly, it is true that the question of the unity of the
Regency was raised ; but it is right that it should be known
that in the event of her Majesty not agreeing to what was
proposed by her Minis' ers, they declared ' that, postponing
the settlement of this important question for the meeting
of the Cot tes, the subject would be sufficiently disposed of
to permit the Government of the country to be carried on ;
whilst in this period,' they added, ' public opinion, then so
urgent upon the point, might be modified or changed. if at
the same time guarantees equivalent to the demands of the
people were given.' Consider if in that situation any
other course were possible, or if the matter could be treated
with more circumspection and prudence.
" The inhabitants of Spain, sensible and considerate as
they are, well know how to appreciate events which have
passed in such rapid succession, and with which they are
all thorouvhly acquainted. They will lament the loss of
a Princess to whom they owe, and from whom they would
expect much, had she the good fortune of preserving her-
self in a position superior to the influence of party; but
at the same time, they will do justice to those indivi-
duals, who, without expecting or desiring it, have seen
themselves obliged to meet the difficulties of a most
complex position, and to take upon themselves the re-
sponsibility of extraordinary events. Their object in
that critical momemt was the safety of the Throne ; to
preserve in all their integrity the institutions of the
country. If, to secure these objects, the sacrifice of the
Regency was necessary, that resolution was not of their
' recommendation, nor were all their efforts sufficient to
change that determination. But now that the sacrifice
has been made ; now that the power of ruling has come
into the hands of the present Government, in conformity
with the conditions of the Constitution, let the people of
Spain be tranquil, and fear not. The Constitution shall
be religiously adhered to by all ; public order shall not be
violated; and if any person should attempt to do so, there
are ready 200,000 veteran troops, 500,000 national
guards—the whole nation, in short, prepared to punish
and repel the attempt. All the necessary precautions you
could desire are already taken. Be therefore assured that
the powers which the Constitution has conferred upon the
provisional Regency shall be delivered without stain into
the hands of that to be appointed by the Cortes, and after
chastising, if it should be necessary, all those who would
oppose themselves to it.:
(Here folio v the Signatures of the Regency. )
" Madrid, Nov. 15, 1840."

MADRID, Nov. Is.—. Maria Christina de Bourbon has
been at least consistent. Her Majesty has just crowned a
reign of perfidy to the Spanish people by an act of open
hostility. The worst that she could do she has done—
the exposing subjects who shed their best blood in her
cause, and whom she still affects to love, to the horrors of
a second civil war. It is not her Majesty's fault that this
terrible contingency should not befal them ; she has pre-
pared the train and given the spark--that the materials arc
not combustible does not depend upon her good will. The
first news of the execution of her benevolent designs reached
us here yesterday, by courier from Marseilles—the precious
document itself appeared in the Gazette this morning.
We arc driven to embrace the worst probability of the
case, and to look upon the manifesto of her Majesty as in-
tended to ascertain how far the people of Spain are dis-
posed to follow the standard she has raised. This I look
upon as tho true meaning of the poisoned legacy she
has just bequeathed U 3. The reasons which would induce
a weak and unprincipled woman to pursue such a course
arc on the surface. In the first place, whether from con-
stitution, from education, or erroneous impressions, Maria
Christina has been always under erroneous convictions
with respect to the strength of the party with whom she
has acted in Spain. She always believed that the majo.
jority of the nation was in favour of the system she would
establish ; a delusion which recent events would appear
not to have been sufficient to dispel. In the next place,
this party, which gained a complete ascendancy over her
mind, have never been taught by experience, and labour
under the dreadful fatuity of persevering in the same prin-
ciples and policy under every circumstance and change of
occasion. Left upon a sand-bank by the tide, and with the
wind in their teeth, these men would be found to keep
their sails still set, and the helm turned exactly to the
same point. One consolation remains for Spain and for
the friends of her regeneration : Maria Christina and her
supporters, either at home or abroad, or united, w ill not be
able to affect their diabolical purposes. The reply of the
Regency you will find at once firm and maderatc, becoming
in every respect the character of the body by whom it has
been penned, and the cause they advocate. In Madrid and
the provinces the most complete tranquillity prevails.
