MADRID, . 5.
The Spanish Government has addressed thefol-
lowing circular to its different diplomatic agents
abroad, in reference to the recent insurrection :
" Sir,—The recent revolutionary attempt, and the
rapidity with which it has ended, constitute one of
those culminating facts in our political order whose
irresistible force is not to be misunderstood, save by
those who wilfully close their eyes to evidence.
Nevertheless, a portion of the foreign press, after
having fomented the rebellion by its passionate and
persistent incitements, now proceeds to disfigure and
distort the facts, studies how to justify them, undis-
guisedly advocates the recurrence of the movement,
and does not shrink from the most blameable means
of assailing and deprecating persons and things.
But the truth remains intact, and predominates at
the bottom of the facts, and in the present case it is
incontestable.

THE TAILORS' STRIKE.

Now that the tailors' strike has been brought to
a close by the unconditional return of the opera-
tives to work, it may be interesting to recapitulate
the principal events of the movement, the causes
which led to it, and the effects which have resulted
in consequence of its existence. The strike assumed
the character of a defined agitation in April last,
when the workmen, through the agency of the
London Operative Tailors' Association, demanded
that certain changes should be made in the time
log, upon the conditions of which business had been
transacted between mastery and men for some time
previously in London. After some negotiation the
masters refused to entertain the proposals made by
the men, by which it was sought to obtain a greater
number of hours than had been previously allowed
for the manufacture of certain garments. The
men forthwith elected an executive committee,
which made a publichouse, in King-street, Regent-
street, its head-quarters, and shortly after an
aggregate meeting of the operatives was held in the
Alhambra Palace, Leicester-square, which was
presided over by Mr. Druitt, President of the
Operatives' Association. The cause of the work-
men was then considerably sustained by the report
that the tailors of Paris had struck at the same
time, and that a large measure of support would be
accorded to those on strike in London by the
Parisian operatives. The Trades' Union Societies
of the North of England also sent promises of co-
operation as well as more substantial contributions
to the exchequer of the association, while in London
itself every exertion was nude to so replenish the
treasury as to sustain a lengthened resistance, if
necessary, to the opposition of the masters. Depu-
tations went through the country representing the
position of the London association, and urging the
provincial operatives not to assist the masters in
the metropolis in the maintenance of their
business. Meanwhile the members of the
Masters' Association, which was established,
as its name implies, for the protection of
the interests of the employers in 1866, held a
meeting in the Hanover-square Rooms, at which,
while recommending forbearance, they reiterated
their resolution not to entertain, or even discuss, the
terms of the time log proposed for adoption by the
men. Adjourned meetings of both bodies were sub-
sequently held, at which no sign of submission on
either side was indicated. The picketing system,
the effects of which were so prominently adduced
during last summer, was adopted, and the street
outrages which were committed at the instigation
of its promoters are still doubtless distinctly remem-
bered by the general public. During April, May,
June, July, August, and September the movement
continued without any aspect of material change,
but still it was known that the treasury of the ope-
ratives was declining, and that much of " the sinews
of war," which was forthcoming in the earlier days
of the agitation, was no longer available. The most
formidable weapon against the operatives, however,
was the withdrawal of the public sympathy, which
was strongly aroused against the instigators of out-
rages in which men and women were assaulted for
doing nothing more or less than fulfilling the legiti-
mate functions of their business. It will be remem-
bered theprincipal officers of the Operatives'Assoc'a-
tion were tried at the Old Bailey for conspiracy,
and, though found guilty, were with one exception
discharged on their own recognizances. Since that
time but little has been heard of the progress of the
movement, but it was evident, as we have intimated
more than once, that the issue of the struggle would
be against the men. For some time they had tacitly
confessed this themselves, for they had organised a
scheme of emigration by which a large number of
operatives would be enabled to proceed to the
colonies or the United States, and so improve their
own condition, and, at the same time, that of their
fellow-workmen at home, by diminishing the supply
to the labour market. This project was promoted
with greater energy when it was known that the
masters in the West end, in whose establishments
the strike had originated, had availed themselves of
the services of non-union workmen, and that new
machinery bad been invented by which many diffi-
culties which had hitherto been in the way of the
process of business had been completely obviated.
This week the movement may be considered to be at
an end, but it may be not uninstructive to indicate
the consequences which have resulted from the agi-
tation. In the first place, we believe that the strike
itself was by no means necessary ; for the claims
made by the men concerned only a certain section
of the operatives, between whom and the masters,
by mutual concession, their disputes might have
been amicably arranged. West-end operative tailors
are not a class of men who have particular reason
to complain of the remuneration they receive. True
it is that their work is tedious and the posture in
which they have necessarily to remain for several
hours a day is calculated to bo physically exhaustive,
but the rate of pay they receive is far higher than
that of many classes of working men who have to
bear the brunt of every vicissitude of climate. If
the Operatives' Association had directed their exer- '
tions to the amelioration of those in the east end of
London who are suffering under the lamentable con-
ditions of the " sweating system," their efforts would
have been benevolently and laudably employed. As
it is, the only results which have been brought about
by the tailors' strike may be reduced to four, not
one of which possesses the slightest gratifying attri-
bute. They are, firstly, the loss to the masters of
large sums of money which but for the movement
they would have received, according to the regularly
recurring causes, in the summer of this year. Se-
condly, the loss to the men of the wages to which
they would have been entitled during the same
period ; thirdly, the diminution of confidence be-
tween employers and employed; and fourthly—what,
after all, is to some a great consideration—the more
or less involuntary exile of those who, but for the
agitation, need not have sought an uncertain means
of subsistence in other countries than their own. In
a word, the effects of the tailors' strike in London
forms another grand argument against the promo-
tion of trades' union societies.

" What, in fact, has taken place ? After abortive
revolts and revolutionary attempts, a new one has
been tried. Europe at large is cognisant of the
efforts made to organise it for the last year. Nothing
has been neglected to ensure its success—numerous
enrolments of determined proselytes, threats and
promises, vehement proclamations, well known
leaders, a hardy and violent press, even to launch-
ing irreverence and calumny against the highest
institutions which are, and al ways will be, objects
of love and profound veneration to the immense
majority of Spaniards. With such antecedents,
the rebellion was considered and announced as ir-
resistible and decisive. At last it put furth its
sanguinary cry upon Spanish territory, selecting as
theatre the provinces it no doubt believed most
favourably disposed.

"There was no lack of ill_advised persons who
replied by taking up arms. Notwithstanding this,
the forces of our valiant army attacked and con-
quered them at the outset, enthusiastically shouting,
Long live the Queen !' and not stopping to count
the numbers of their enemies. A few days later, at
the magical voice of Royal clemency, the insurgents
laid down their arms. Upon the 10th those who
had not submitted to the decree of indulgence sought
safety by fleeing to a foreign country, and the re-
volt was suppressed.

" The facts cannot be denied, and the most pre-
judiced mind will find no satisfactory explanation
save in also admitting as incontestable that the re-
volution has prepared its suicide and inevitable
destruction by attacking without war cry or flag,
fearing apparently the horror they would produce,
as is always the result in similar cases.
"But this is not all. If the armed revolution, in
its reiterated attempts, conceals itg flab Nil its war
cry, its votaries and abettors do not conceal its ten-

dencius and object, even at the risk of rendering it •
as unpopular as facts have already profoundly and
irrevocably proved it to be. What other possible
fate, indeed, could await a revolt which, by the
admission of its instigators, proclaims the sacrifice
of the Spanish nationality, and dreams of an Iberian
union which, under the inspiration of correct in-
stinct, both Spain and Portugal reject for their own
welfare with equal energy; a revolt which also pro-
claims the sacrifice of territorial integri y, since its
organs announce, without being contradicted, the
annexation and even the sale of rich portions of the
Spanish territory; a revolt, lastly, which—and this
fact alone would suffice to bring about its failure—
calls for the radical destruction of social order and
existing policy, which it wants to replace by terror-
ism, by levelling republics, and other not less
frightful Utopias, whose principles and extent are
undisguisedly displayed—Utopias which liberal and
democratic Geneva has just rejected with indignation.

" This revolt aims atthe destruction of social order
and existing policy, including, as social consequences,
the constitutional principle, the monarchical principle,
the Catholic principle, and the dynasty as symbol
and practical application of the whole. Yet what is
there in Spain, i❑ whatever is beloved by Spaniards,
that is not inseparably bound up with these princi-
ples? The national character, historical renown,
property, individual safety, the family,—all these
contribute to confer its form and radical existence
upon this comforting and magnificent whole.
" How can it be thought strange, and who could
fail to perceive that revolutions of this species must
be and are in fact unpopular in this reflective coun-
try, and that, like the last, they are and always will
be repudiated by the public mind. For the feeling
they inspire in the people can never be other than
disquiet and alarm ; and it necessarily results that
the proprietor, the agriculturist, the manufacturer,
the employe, the soldier, the priest—all men, in fine,
without distinction—fears, from tangible reasons,
for his present position, and looks forward with still
greater apprehension for his future.

"These facts, Sir, have been proved in the present
instance by the indifference and good sense of the
population, the noble determination of our worthy
and valiant army, the zeal and active power of co-
operation of the authorities, and the confidence her
Majesty's Government has never ceased for an in-
stant to feel and to inspire. The care of inculcating
and enforcing the truth of the facts by every possi-
ble means now produces salutary influence. It is a
political and moral duty incumbent upon every
good patriot, but notably upon those who, honoured
by official positions, are doubly bound to serve their
country with zeal and loyalty.
" Diplomatic agents arc in this position more
than any other persons, since they fulfil their im-
portant missions at great political centres. It is
there that the revolution, regarding the bearing
of its blows as more influential, reinforces its
means of invention, of defamation, and of distort-
ing the truth. There, consequently, it is the most
necessary to struggle against it.

" By acting thus, Sir, by inculating the truth and
unceasingly combating error and mere supposition,
by reading and leaving a copy of this present de-
spatch, should you be asked to do so, and by ex-
plaining the considerations it contains with all the
means furnished by your position, you will fulfil,
Sir, the expectations entertained of your zeal and
loyalty by her Majesty and the Government in her
name. " LORENZO ARRAZOLA."

[ADVERTISEMENT. —llolloWay'S Oiatment and Pills.—
With autumn comes many diseases of the skin which de-
mand instant attention if the patient wishes to be spared
much annoyance through the winter. These remedies
will ba found most effectual in repressing erysipelas and
inflammations generally, and in healing up sore legs,
wounds, and ulcerations in the kindest manner, without
exciting pain or tending to weaken the patient, which
would infallibly increase his sufferings and retard his cure.
Holloway's pills should be taken during this course of
treatment, which they will make easier and work success-
ful ; at the same time they will improve the appetite and
materially aid digestion, a matter of the most material im-
portance when lowering infirmities afflict the weak, deli-
cate, or aged.
