LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 22, 1856.

A large majority of the adult population o
Great Britain will recoiled the time when a fierce
civil war was waged in Spain between the adhe-
rents of QUEEN Isisuris, and of the late DON
CARLOS. It was a case of disputed succession
like our own Wars of the Roses. There was,
however, no civil tribunal before which the im-
portant question could be decilled. It was con-
sequently remitted to the arbitrament of the
sword, which eventually ruled in favour of the
female claimant. It was chiefly by the aid of
British ♦alour that this result was accomplished,
and there can be but little doubt that if the
matter had rested with Spaniards only, the young
QUEZN and her amiable mother would have been
expelled from the country.
There was, however, at the time much appa-
rent reason for the sympathy so freely awarded
to the successful claimant. " Liberty and the
Constitution" were the watchwords invoked on
behalf of the youthful QUEEN, while " Priestcraft
and Despotism" were the Carlist war cries. There
was also a natural feeling operating in favour of
a young and innocent claimant. All will remem-
ber the efficient assistance bestowed by the Bri-
tish Legion, and the ingratitude with which they
were subsequently treated. Something, how-
ever, was gained by the supposed triumph of
constitutional principles, that induced the nation
to forgot the injustice inflicted on their own
countrymen, and to acquiesce in the success of
the Christinos ; and there is no doubt that if the
promises so lavishly tendered had been as faith-
fully redeemed, the English blood so freely shed in
cementing the foundation of the Spanish Throne
would scarcely have been regretted, save by the
immediate relations and friends of those who fell
in the internecine conflict.

But Qaeen ISABELLA now considers herself
strong enough to kick down, by the aid of an
unscrupulous Minister, the convenient ladder to
which she owed her elevation. She has substi-
tuted the Carlist cries of " Despotism and Priest-
craft" for "Liberty and the Constitution," and,
without conciliating the party by whom she was
previously opposed, has completely disgusted and
alienated the better class of her own supporters.
The ingratitude displayed towards the British auxili-
aries has been followed up by even more decided
misconduct against her own most faithful and
loyal subjects, and there is but too,much reason'
to fear that she has joined in the conspiracy which
has deprived the nation of the services of the
Duke of Vicrons. He was the head of the
Liberal Government, the representative of Pro-
gress and Reform, and, as such, eminently dis-
tasteful to the Court faction. A coup d'etat was,
therefore, resolved on ; and it was cunningly
carried into execution.

vW
As wo yesterday pointed out, there was a Pro-
clamation ready cut and dry—placing the whole
of Spain under martial law—before any attempt
at resistance was made, even before the arch-
deceiver O'DONNELL had thrown aside the mask
with which he concealed his intentions from his
betrayed colleagues. And it now appears that a
force of 18,000 men was concentrated on Madrid,
r3ady to suppress any emeute into which the
people might be driven, and which, there can
be little doubt, was stimulated by O'DoNNELLand
his fellow-conspirators for their own purposes.
But it is dangerous playing with edge-tools, or
flinging firebrands in the neighbourhood of com-
bustible materials. O'DoNNELL has for the mo-
ment succeededin the capital ; but in the provinces
the soldiers, under the gallant GITERREA, have
fraternise with the people, and 130 less than 85
members of the Cortes have seceded from Madrid to
Saragossa, where the standard of the Constitution
has been elevated under what may safely be regarded
as the Spanish Parliament. A fierce contest may
therefore be anticipated, and ISABELLA and her
