sort. CHRISTIIIA Mu oz, seeing that she cannot I
recover the Regency, wants to secure the -vast t
property which FERDINAND, in his dotage, be-'
stowed upon her in Spain. It is not a regard
fhr her character, but a solicitude for the safety
of her money-bags, that influences her present
conduct. She could not avow her participa-,
tion in the insurrection without exposing her do-
mains to confiscation, and of her vast wealth there
is not a single dollar which she does not prize
above the heart's-blood of the unfortunate General
LEON and all his misguided accomplices. We
have little doubt that the Spanish Government, ,
which is no stranger to her cupidity, took care
to place this view of the question before her in a
strong light. The Spanish Min6lei at Paris,
Senor OLOZAGA, appears to have acquitted him-
self with signal ability under very trying circum-
stances. It may be reasonally infer•=' d from his
letter to General ALCALA, that he ►ost no time
in making CHRISTINA acquainted with her exact
position, and of the necessity of her assuming
one less suspiciously hostile, if she was not
prepared to go all lengths with her parti-
sans. We moreover know that the strong
remonstrances addressed by OLOZAGA to the
French Government kept LOUIS PHILIPPE
within hounds, when his Majesty had all ,but
made up his mind to throw off the mask,
and declare openly for O'DONNELL and the
CHRISTINA insurgents. We have heard, and
readily believe, that Senor OLOZAGA met with
the cordial support of the English Government.
This was what CHRISTINA' MUNOZ and her par-
tizans were not at all prepared for, seeing that
they were ready to gratify the Tories by abolish-
ing the Constitution. But the Tories well knew
that a crusade against Spanish liberty fur the
purpose of placing a on of the. King of the
FRENCH on the throne of IsABELLA 11. would
doom them to everlasting reprobation, and they
very prudently declined being dupes to any such
infamous transaction.

One important and salutary fact is established
by the attempted insurrection in favour of
CHRISTINA MUNOZ in Spain—namely, that the
bulk of the inhabitants desire nothing so ar-
dently as peace. In the insurgents' bands hardly
a man was comprehended but the soldiers and
their officers, who deserted Don CARLOS and
accepted the Convention of Bergara. These
men, suspected by all parties and trusted by
none, grew exceedingly dissatisfied with their
condition. In Valencia the REGENT endeavoured
to promote them to offices of trust, in common
with the rest of their fellow-countrymen, but
such was the outcry raised against them by the
friends of those whose blood they had shed when
in the service of Don CARLos, that he was con-
strained to cancel their appointments. Their
chief, General MAROTO, remonstrated privately
and publicly, but the people were inexorable.
Despised by the Carlists, who remained faithful
to their principles, and distrusted by the loyal
subjects of the youn; QUEEN, these men
leAily hearkened to the proposals made to them
hy the agents of CHRISTI VA Murioz. The King
of the FRENCH, who did not discriminate between
them and the old legions of ESPARTERO, readily
gave credence to their report that the army was
wholly disaffected t:,) the present Government.
The signal failure of the expedition, and the loss
of his forty thousand pounds, will cure the King
of the FRENCH of his present itch tin- meddling -
so deeply in Spanish politip.
It is deeply to be deplored that the state of pub-
lie feeling in Spain imposes upon the REGENT the
necessity of making severe examples of the mis-
ititled men who are taken in arms against the
Government. But in a country, where every act
of clemency is imputed to weakness, and there-
fore but the provocative to future rebellion, a
claimed leniency is often the greatest cruelty.
Still we trust that every .precaution will be
adopted to avoid the useless effusion of blood.
While on the one band it way be absolutely ne-
eessary to convince the people that the crime of
rebellitin never goes unpunished, it cannot be less
nevessary on the other to avoid familiarising them
with the brutalizing spectacle of numerous
capital punishments. There are few wholesome
moral lessons to be learned under the gallows, or
Within hearing of a murderous fusilade. A few
severe examples in different parts of Spain may
unhappily be called for, but a Gal-eminent so
strong as the REGENT'S no longer requires the
aid of terror to maintain it against an - enemy so
utterly wanting in every great and good quality
as MARIA CHRISTINA MUNOZ.

While the young QUEEN remains unmarried
she will continue an apple of discord to Spain.
When, therefore, ESPARTERO has rid his hands
of the insurrection in the Basques, he ought to
lose no time in betrothing his youthful Sove-
reign to her cousin, the.son of the Infante Don
FRANCISCO DE PAULA, who, by this time, has
arrived in Madrid. This step will put a stop to
the intrigues of the French Court for the hand
of the young QUEEN, and mt-re than any other
consolidate the affections of the Spanish people.
Already has M. THIERS and an influential body
of French statesmen declared in thvour of such a
match. It has, therefore, the a 6 antage of satis-
fying all moderate men in France, while afford-
ing no ground for uneasiness to England.
