THE CIVIL WAR IN SPAIN.

(From the Debais.)
Constitaticnal Spain has gloriously triumphed over the
cruel pretensions of absolutism, and over that obstir ate
horrible war, which for the last six years has been an outrage
to humanity—to the shame of the principles put forward by
the Carlist faction. The inhabitants of the Northern Pro-
vinces, as must have been clearly seen, nowise belonged to
that faction. They have thrown off its yoke, and sent off
the Pretender, when a six years' ruinous and bl ,ody expe-
rience had shown them the Government and men that their
efforts and sacrifices were to force upon Spain. A recent
attempt was made to excite insurrection in the above-men-
tioned Provinces, arid its total failure clearly proved that the
hour of pence had struck for Spain. The civil war is now
vanquished. A certain degree of agitation will doubtless
prevail for some time, after such a long and furious
struggle. There will doubtless be isolated bands for
some time to come ; and there will be, ae there have ever
bsen in Spain, banditti disguising their pursuits under a
political name. All this may take place, but Carlism is
put down; the na ion is every where becoming strongly
attached to the authority of the Queen, to peace; to its
la ow institutions; and this noble country seems to have
derived fresh virility from the commotions it has under-
gene, and which, as it were, have given additional vigour
to the genius of the nation, by calling into play its con-
stancy and warlike character.
The army has nobly maintained its old Castilian reputa-
tion, and has more than once deserved the eulogy of Eu-
rope. Obliged, three years ago, to evacuate Navarre,
to withdraw behind the Ebro, nay, were behind the
Douro and under the walls of Madrid, threatened by
Don Carlos in person, exhorted by his faithful and sa..-
guinary Cabrera, the army and its chiefs never despaired
of their just cause, which was that of liberty and civili-
sation ; and they have constantly been seen to re-
pair their disasters and support the greatest privations
ith wonderful constancy, while the patient courage,
sobriety, ant vigorous energy which so eminently
characterise the Spanish soldier enabled them to surmount
the most terrible difficulties. The sieges of Castellote and
Morella, accomplished in spite of the great severity of the
lesson, in the midst of mountains, at tat time almost im-
practicable, and notwithstanding the extraordinary accumu-
lation of difficulties, obstacles, and fortifications of overy
kind, fully prove the great talent of Marshal Espartero and
the courage of his troops. The journal of the two sieges also
shows that the scientific part of the art of war is successfully
cultivated in Spain ; and the divers details respecting the
manoeuvres of the artillery aed engineers are the more ho-
nourable for the officers of those corps on account of the
great mental resources and warlike inventions requisite to
reduce such irregular and abrupt fortresses, protected by the
most wonderful obstacles and unforeseen accidents, and
seated on a rock. To fortresses like these the ordinary
routine of siege could not be applied. While thus em-
ployed the whole army of Cabrera were unable to dis-
cover a weak point for attack, so skilfully had Marshal Es-
"tarter° adopted tactics suitable to such warfare. He
always contrived to keep his troops in large masses; with-
out exposing any detachment to danger, and defeating
every surprise attempted by the enemy, was already
strong to crush or repel every hostile corps that dared ad.
vance. By this means be successively deprived Cabrera
of all his fortresses, in spite of an obstinate resistance,
which could not do otherwise than yield to the methodical
though vigorous plan adopted by the Spanish General.
Cabrera, who had been so long suffering fr3m typhus,
appeared about a month since at the head of the remains
of his army Without awaiting the fall of Morella, and
without taking any vigorous measure to succour that for-
tress, 4sc abandoned the troops therein to the mercy of the
Constitutionalists, and hastened to cross the Ebro, in
order to prise into Catalonia, where he is at the present
moment, and whence be will most probably endea-
vour to get into Frauce. He has just satisfied his thirst
for blood at Berge on the members of the insurrec-
tioeal junta, who had caused the assassination of the
Count d'Espagne, a chief no less ferocious than him-
self. It was pretended that this last chief was
about to treat for peace ; that the junta on that account
had ordered him to be arrested ; and that Cabrera, autho-
rised £0 to do by Don Carlos, had ordered him to be
put to death. The ;Pretender, inasmuch ;as he was
concerned, gave orders for this assertion to be contra•
dieted in a Carlist paper. The death of the Count
d'Espagne could have personally inspired but little regret
to Cabrera, who was considered by him as a met e par-
venu. In fact, Cabrera must have been delighted at not
finding him in Catalonia, wilco he was obliged to take
refuge in that principality, for the Count d'Espagne,
equally despotic and sanguinary as himself, would
not have allowed him to assume the authority he
did as soon as he entered Catalonia. Cabrera, in
punishing his murderers, has had the threefold pleasure
of appearing as an avenger of crime, of shedding blood,
and of ridding himself of a junta which might have im-
peded his tyrouny. Murderers, judges, and victims have
alike pillaged and devastated the country in the most
barbarous manner. The unfortunate inhabitants hope that
Cabrera will not succeed in escaping with life and fortune,

SPIRIT bf the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

ROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

(From the Globe.)
Sir Robert Inglis's motion on Church Extension
was brought on last night, under circumstances which
indicate most' forcibly the influence of party bonds on
those who constitute the Opposition. The opinion
of the leaders of the party was expressed on the
16th, when the motion was shirked by the direct
interposition of the newly-appointed •' whipper-out,"
whose peculiar duties are specified by his designation.
Sir R. Inglis is not a man to be shaken from his pur-
pose ; nor may he be cut with impunity by the party he
has long consistently and zealously supported. His
ecclesiastical mania may plunge him into extravagan-
cies exceedingly embarrassing to that party ; but the
Church is Sir Robert's hobby, and he must be indulged
when disposed to exhibit his skill ;n riding it. Com-
pulsion, not conviction, prevailed in obtaining for the
Hon. Baronet, a respectable number of supporters on
the division ; but even political gratitude, for past sup-
port and future aid, was not sufficiently powerful to
induce them to listen to his speech. Not more than
twenty of those who supported the motion were present
to hear the harangue by which it was prefaced, and on
which the necessity for large additional pecuniary aid to
the Established Church, by increasing the already heavy
burdens of the people, was enforced. Sir Robert Peel,
Sir James Graham, Lord Stanley, and indeed every man
of note among the Tories, manifested their opinion of
the inexpediency of the proceeding in the present temper
and circumstances of the country : they declined to pay
Sir R. Inglis that common compliment of party courtesy
on this exhibition of his chef d'ccurre—with one consent
they desire to be excused
(From the Couricr.)
In the Peers' House Lord Melbourne moved the
second reading of the Canada Government Bill in a
speech of considerable ability. Our own opinions upon
the reunion of the two Provinces under one legislature
and action of government have been fully and freely ex-
pressed on various occasions, and especially during the
progress of this Bill through the Lower House. The
summary of our conclusions may be briefly repeated as
amounting to this ; that however objectionable in
various points of view, and however fatal of omen
for the durability of the dependent connexion of the
Canadas with the mother country, yet that it had be-
come an absolute necessity arising out of the notorious
mismanagement and misgovernment of the Ministers
themselves, and, as such, at whatever peril present or
contingent, must be submitted to and made the best of.
Lord Melbourne, indeed, pretended to justify it by the
citation of opinions expressed in the provinces and in

the House of Commons in favour of the measure,
which came conveniently to aid as a cloak under which
Ministerial misrule and incapacity might probably es-
cape unchastised.
(From the Standard.)

The debate in the House of Lords last night, on the
Canada Government Bill, holds out no very pleasant
prospect. The Bill, as our readers are aware, proceeds
upon the basis of a legislative union of the provinces ;
and the chief argument by which it is recommended
is the necessity of overcoming the hostile disposition
of the members of the Lower Province by a prepon-
derating influence, to be exercised b 3 the representa-
tives of Upper Canada, who, it is expected, will concur
with the few well-disposed in Lower Canada to
maintain the British connection. We do not impugn
the value of a legislative union under other circum-
stances, but it is impossible for any reflecting man
riot to see the fallacy of the hypothesis upon
which the hope of success for the present mea-
sure is founded. To say nothing of the anomaly of
a Legislative Assembly, advisedly constructed, because of
the necessary repugnance of its constituent members, or
of the impossibility that such an Assembly can ever
form a body fitted for coy purpose of positive utility.
What ground is there fur elpecting even the negative
service of not promoting a separation of the provinces
from the British empire ? It is admitted by the hypo-
thesis that a considerable proportion of the representa-
tives of Lower Canada will be disaffected to the British
Crown—that a compact body, united by race, by reli-
gion, and by what they believe to be their peculiar inte-
rest, must find its way into the united Legislative As-
sembly. Such a party, acting steadily and craftily as it
will act, must in the end command any assembly into
which it shall be admitted.
