boundless importance, than by opening in state that
magnificent structure around which are congregated
so many thousands engaged in the peaceful and en-
riching works of industry.

Madrid journals of the 18th and 19th have been
received, but they possess little interest. The new
Constitution appears to be regarded by the citizens
with great apathy. A Committee had been appointed
by the Congress to report upon the new Bill, and six
out of seven were believed to be favourable to the
measure. At the sitting of the 19th, 103 Members
were present, and of these, 71 declared for reform,
only 32 against it. " Thus," says the Clamor Publico,
" will be consummated the attempt upon cur rights,
and Spain will be deprived of her liberties if Heaven
does not take pity upon her." The Clamor Publico
should remember that Heaven helps only those who
themselves. _

The Paris Papers are chiefly occupied with discus-
sions on the new Spanish Constitution, on which a
great many words seem thrown away. The Minis-
terial journals are very shy on the subject. The
Globe gives the whole of the preamble of the Bill, but
without comment; and the Journal des Debats, to
keep up appearances, seems dissatisfied with some
parts of it. " The text of the report," says that
journal, " presented to the Queen of SPAIN by her
Ministers, in which are detailed the motives which
decided them to remodel the Constitution of 1837, is
a lengthy document, and by no means redeems its
fault of wordiness by that of clearness. We must
confess that it has by no means induced us to change
our opinion on the main subject, and that we are not
more persuaded to-day than yesterday of the neces-
sity of any change in the fundamental law of Spain.
We cannot yet see what the royal power can gain
in strength or security by effacing the principle of
the sovereignty of the nation from the preamble
of the Consitution. It is a sort of bravado ad-
dressed to the spirit of the times—one of the least in-
conveniences of which is its being utterly useless."
CHRISTINA'S journal regards the new Constitution as
an event of ordinary occurrence. " The project of
reform," says the Presse, " has been received at
Madrid with a calm—we should say with an indiffe-
rence—which contrasts singularly with the almost
unanimous disapprobation which it has excited in
Paris. The language .of the press is not more ani-
mated in general than if an ordinary question was
discussed. All the moderate journals, without excep-
tion, approve of the plan in its fundamental points,
and their criticisms only refer to questions of detail
altogether secondary. As to the Opposition journals
they cry out perjury and treason. But as we re-
member that these same journals clapped their hands
at the revolution of Granja, and at its legislative con-
sequences, it is impossible for us to attribute a great
importance to their protests."
The Quotidienne has the following brief notice :
" It will be seen that the Constitution-makers in
Spain have proposed to themselves the Charter of
1830, particularly the posterior laws which modified
it. What they have dared in addition would be
gladly attempted at Paris. The jury, for instance,
is far from offering a sufficient guarantee to our
clever fellows ; they would also be very glad to ar-
range, according to their iittle interests, the organisa-
tion of the municipalities."

The National cannot write with any composure,
and vents its rage in such brief sentences and inter-
rogatories as the following, addressed to the Journal
des Debats :

" Your protege.) (Spain) is at'present in full fortune.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs for Spain, who is de-
sirous of putting an end to all political discussions, is one
or• your intimate friends ; you have proclaimed Narvaez
a hero 1 All this band of shameless counter •revolutionists
and unbridled pilferers have been declared your adopted
children. You have not concealed your sentiments.
You have declared them in such a manner as to be heard
by the whole of Europe. At present they are at work,
and not sparingly. No more national sovereignty—no
more elective senate—no more obligatory convocation of
the Cortes—no more Budgets voted annually—no more
jury—no more National Guards—the monarchy freed
from all control—organic laws made by simple decrees--
and even more, perhaps. Who can describe all the
audacity that there is in this overturning of all constitu•
tional tegime ? You must give some explanation. Is
this what you wanted ? Does M. Guizot sympathise
with this Government, sold to the Pope and Don Carlos?
Is it the policy of your Government which triumphs ?
Are these your secret maxims which are applied ?"
The Paris papers contain no news. The Toulonnais
states that the 9th Regiment of Light Cavalry, in gar-
rison at Mascara, is so completely decimated with
disease, that there scarcely remain as many men able
to do duty as are necessary to water the horses of the
regiment.
