Christina 'Munoz has thought proper 'to deny having
made the statement with respect to the Spanish insur-
gents, attributed to her by the Spanish Ambassador.
The Court organ, the Debats, says—" We are expressly
authorised to declare that the words attributed to Maria
Christina, in the despatch which the Spanish Ambassador
forwarded to General Alcala, have already been formally;
disavowed by the-Queen, and that this dishvowal has been
addressed to M. Otozarra himself by her Majesty's Secre-
t.ary."—Now it fitly be that there was a slight inaccuracy
in a phrase of':(3lozat,),-a's report, but we are confident the,
substance was clitite correct. Christina takes objection to
" words," not to theirgeneral purport. Weighed against
the statements :of an Ambassador officially made, even
Louis Philippe must hold the contradiction, of such
woman as Christina Munoz as dust in the balance.
The Debats does not attempt to conceal its disappoint-
ment &tithe :failure of the Madame Munoz insurrection
in Spain. It- says, Espartero reigns in Siiain ;ho is the
Government de facto of that unfortunate country. Ile is
acknowledged by France, we have received his Ambas-
sador, and he i§ about to receive ours: Between him
and France all is regular, and the law of nations for-
bids the FreneAi.- Ministry to commit any act either
openly or secret4.against the Spanish Government.
But the Press has aright to express its opinions, and if
it pleased us to avow our good wishes for the success of
-the insurrection in Navarre, we should not ask periniS-
sion of any party. If we, ike our Government, remain
faithful to Espartero's alliance, it is through political
motives ; but our affection, our preferences, and our
principles, are not there. We submit to this alliance,
but we do not love it. We would have wished for the
happiness of Spain, that the Queen had experienced the
same sympathy from the- men whom she loaded with
benefits, and who betrayed her. But this treason has
succeeded, and-now. conaitutes the Spanish Government
The interest of our country obliges us to live in peace
with this Government, and we obey. We obey, but like one
whose heart is not in accord with his interest. We obey like
Spain herself, who roved Christina, and who obeys Esptir-
.tero."—Thisis at least straightforward. The King of the
French would upset the Spanish Government if' he
could but yield to the necessity of acknowledging it:
The language
.of the Debats is a transcript of the
thoughts of the King. .
, Several telegraphic despatches With news froin • Spain
will be found in another part of The Sun. To give the
substance of them here would but be to repeat them. A
private letter of Thursday afternoon, from Paris, dis-
tinctly states, '" you may regard the insurrection in ,
-Spain as at an end." God grant, say we.
PUBLIC OPINION.

. .
The Morning Chronicle makes the following allusions
to some remarks made by Lord Stanley in.connection
•with the Corn-laws, in his hustings speech at Lancaster:
—" There are mistakes of a venial nature which any
public speaker may inadvertently commit, for which
fair allowance ought to be made. Of such a nature was
not the Tamboff affair of. Lord Stanley. The passage
of his Lordship's speech at Lancaster is absolutely dis-
graceful to the nation which suffers such a man to be at
the head of one of the most important departments of
Government. We deem it our duty to ring that Tam-
boff case in his ears, to punish him fur the insult he
offered to his countrymen, and the disgrace with which
he has covered England in the eyes of Europe..
Lord Stanley, from the position he occupies, ought
to know something of the agricultural produce
which can be obtained on a given extent of territory, ,
and of the proportion of such produce available for
exportation, after supporting its population. It is un-
pardonably disgraceful in a Secretary of State for the
British Colonies to repeat and argue from statements
which no British mechanic could utter without being
booted down by his associates. The gossiping story of
Sir Edwardßaines, that he had been told that 38,000,00.0
quarters of grain had been produced in one year in the
Government of Tamboff was bad .enough in all con-
science. But 'Baron Munchausen' could not have im-
proved upon. Sir Edward as Lord Stanley did."—This is
by no means a solitary instance of Lord Stanley's per 7
version of facts, in order to suit party purposes. He is
one of the rashest and most reckless statesmen of the day,
exhibiting in this respect a striking contrast to his
leader, Sir Robert Peel—a sly, cool, cautious diplomatist
of the red-tope school. It will not, we suspect, be long
ere the latter will find cause deeply to rue his connection
With Lord Stanley.
The Times, reverting to the question of bribery at
elections, says :—" We' are not disposes to waste our
time, or that of our readers, in discussing at any great
length the hotly contested question, whether the Con-
servatives, the Whigs, or the extreme Radicals, were
guilty of the most extensive bribery at the late general
election. If, indeed, we were obliged to but upon . such
n. race, we would back the Whigs. Other parties in the
state were fighting for opinions, either of political theory
or or moral principle ; but the Whigs fought for dear
lire. We admit that a party having quiet possession of
power, is generally more prone to negligence and apathy
than a party seeking
,to obtain it ; but when a Ministry
is in peril of being displaced—when the immediate agony
and Terror, of expulsion are upon all their retainers, there
is no more of tendency to napping or nodding than in a
house whose inhabitants are roused at midnight by afire.
The exertion increases with the danger, gout forgets
its crutches, and even rheumatism walks erect. That
was the situation of the Whigs at the last election."—
That the Whigs bribed during . the late elections, we
have not the slightest doubt, for they are fully capable
of it ; but it is the height of effrontery to compare-their
doings in this respect with those of the Tories, who for
the last fifty years and upwards—indeed ever since they
have been a dominant party in the Statehave been the
staunch, unhesitating advocates of bribery and corrup-
tion in their worst form. Not only have they been thus
infamously distinguished; but they have even done their
best to reduce bribery to a system—in fact, to legitimate
it, as far as they could do so, by their countenance and
example. No man ever mentions the word " bribery"
without instantly associating it in thought with Toryism.
The Advertiser says—" We are at a loss to conceive
the immense value of More Church' to a starving po-
pulation, whose cry is for -bread, unless it be, that as
there is no more hope for-their bodies, their souls should
be made, in future, the exclusive care of Government.
Haying 'starved them first, it is perhaps the duty of the
monopolists to help their victims to Heaven ; but we do
not believe that the .Church as by law established,'.
will give them any better qualification for passing through
the narrow gate,' than by. reducing them , to. a state of
poverty, and thus relieving them from any chance of
meeting with such difficulties as the rich are' said to
encounter on their road to Heaven. • The extension
of the Church is not the extension of religious
consolation,' but consists chiefly
.in giving to the people
the luxury of paying parsons, n-ith the privilege of
being sent to sleep by the dullness of their orations; The
object in building more Chttrches is to provide—not fbr
the spiritual, much less for the corporeal necessities of
the poor—but to supply the temporal wants of the
younger sons and distant connections of *aristocratic
families."—The clamour for " More Church" is .a cla-
mour whose meaning will deceive none but the very ig-
norant or the very credulous. It does not mean more.
religion—more charity—more true, Christianity ; but-
more funds fur the Parsons—more temporal power for
the Establishment ! It is a clamour got up by the Church
to suit its own interested purposes. It dues not proceed
from the community at large—it is not responded to by
them. They take not the slightest interest in the cla-
mour, which begins and ends with, and is exclusively
confined to, Mother Church herself.
In reference to Lord Alvanley's late pamphlet, the
Herald has the following remarks:—" It would be an
abandonment of Protestantism in Ireland by the State, to
adopt Lord Alvanley's project ; it would be doing evil,
that good might, spring therefrom. The essence of the,
State- being Protestant, it must be Protestant in all its.
essential details. The active principle of Protestantion,
in a temporal view, -is antagonistic to Popery ; the State
is Protestant, because it believes the doctrines of Popery
to be soul-destructive ;. in all its formula this belief is
prominently developed. Protestantism, in its separation,
from the Romish Church, has. indeed no other founda-
tion, and unless-it adheres to this great principle of ac-
tion, the Reformation was accomplished in vain. A Pro-
testant State cannot re-connect. itself with Rome, until
Rome, to use Archbishop. Laud's. memorable expression,
be other than it is.' "

The Post contains the following remarks.—" From
the sentiment 3 which we perceive to be avowed by Whig-
Radical politicians, it would appear that they look upon
the populace as made for their political convenience; and
to be,kept under, or inflamed, as may suit their political
views. They tell us that the Tories shall be made to. see
the folly of which they were guiltrwhen they turned'out
the Liberal' Administration whieh'stood between the
aristocracy and the popular hatred.- The aristocracy, it
seems, are indebted for their safety,- during the last ten
years, to the circumstance of the Liberals' being in
office. As they had possession of the Government,
it was not their interest to kick up a disturbance,
of which the natural tendency is to overthrow all
government, and, therefore, the populace was kept,
down. A truly virtuous policy, this; and very
curious indeed is the candour which avows
It is the Tories, not the Whig-Radicals, who look upon
the populace " as•made for their political convenience,"
for it was ever the favourite notion of Toryism that the
people were- nothing—itself every thing ; and on this
notion it has never ceased to act. Those who think that
it will now change its nature and enlarge its policy, will
have no difficulty in believing th:it the Ethlop can
change his skin, and the leopard his spots, or 'any other
absurdity, no matter how glaring.
Speaking of the state of affairs in Canada; the Corentry
Herald says : left to themselves, 'Arid to act- upon
their own convictions of sound policy, there is no doubt
that the questions now agitating in America, and affect-
ing English interests', would soon be amicably settled by
the Governments of the !twocountries. But it happens.
that the spirit of independence, so called, which prevails in
some of the border States, is almost, if not quite, uncon-
trolable by the President and the Federal Government.
The history of the APLeod case clearly proves, this to-be
the fact: Hence it is that without the least inclination'
to war on the part of either Government, such an event
may be forced upon us by the headstrong jealousy, the
independence without principle or moderation, which
actuates too many of the Republicans." • , -
On the question of bribery at elections, the West
Briton makes the following remarks :—"The TorieS =
complain, but then they seek not to improve.; they pre- -
tend to-lament the abuse, but they reject every proposed
remedy. The Reformers, on the other hand,- are sincere'
in their ;desire to stop the evil, and to accept every prac-
