SPANISII POLI'T'ICAL TERMS.

PEnsEs, Persians.—This teem, which occurs in the article
in another column, respecting the Regency of liege] and the
Army of the Faith, is applied to thee:, deputies of the Cortes
who, on the return of Ferdinand " the Beloved," signed the
address which was got up to afford that amiable monarch a pre-
text for abolishing the constitution. They are called Peres
because their address began with the following words :—" It
was a custom among the Persians," &c.
AnsowrisTas—Persons who hold thesame opinions as the
Perses, and wish to restore the King to the possession of abso-
lute power.
PAsTELEttos, Pastry-cooks..--Modifications proposed to be
made in the constitution have been called'a pastel, which means
a pie, or any kind of pastry ; hence those who arc supposed to
wish to make such modifications, that is, to mix up the ingre-
dients and knead the dough of the pie, are named Pasteler4t.
The term has,, however, been differently applied and diverted
from its original Use. The last Ministers who were suspected
ofa design to alter the Constitution had the epithet Pasteleros
applied to then, as bad all the members of the Cortes who vat.
ed in their favour. These Deputies Were also called Argue?.
lista:, because the celebrated Arguelles was the leader of their
party. But the present Ministers, though considered to be
llecidetity attached to the Constitution, and against all
changes,, are in their turn called Pasteteres by the Zurria-
pastas and Landuburiamixtos. • Thus the word Inui at length
ceased to be a term of reproach. One of the Paris journals has
stated, that Pasteleru means the same as the French' Ventre
(pot-bellied or corpulent) : but no reason is assigned for this
application.
Ars'lti.rnos, the Iting-men.—There is a society or club call-
ed the .4ail/o, or the Ring, the members of which are under-
stood to be decided partisans for the establishnient of a Cham-
ber of Peers. The members of this Club are said to be highl),
respectable, but few in number. All persons who conear in opt-
Mon with this dub in the necessity of a House of Peers, or
who wish to have the Cortes divided into two Chambers, are
described by the general term Cantaristas.
• These teems are well known. Theformer is apPlied, to the
persons who adopt the violent prindples at' the journal called
:Lurriogsi, or Scourge. The bitter are the tnernbc:rs or the r.an.
thiburian Club, which derives its name from Captain bandit-
bum, the officer of the Guard who was killed in eudeuvouring
to suppress the mutiny of that corps.
