THE SUN, LOND

in still loftier language, yet in the passage on which
we have been commenting, we find him actuated by
the basest and pettiest prejudices, and so wholly car-
ried away by his party animosities as actually to fall
foul of a brother Tory, merely because he will not go
the whole hog with him in point of bigotry, but has
liberality of sentiment enough to acknowledge that the
manufacturers have several redeeming traits in their
character.

We have received Madrid papers of the 25th.
According to these Senor ISTURITZ was seriously in-
disposed. Ilis complaint was said to be congestion of
the brain. The debates on the address were to com-
mence on the 26th, but it was generally understood
they would be delayed for some time, on account of
ISTURITZ'S illness. He had given notice of the following
amendment :

" The Deputies, yOur faithful subjects, gratefully
acknowledge the solicitude of your Majesty for the wel-
fare of the nation in the desire manifested by your
Majesty to see the field of political discussions closed as
speedily as possible, and the institutions by which the
country is to be governed consolidated for the future.
" Your Majesty, who, in her wisdom, recognised the
gravity of that most essential question, will be pleased
to receive with kindness the opinion of Congress, which
considers of the utmost utility for the realisation of the
important object your Majesty proposes to accomplish
the adjournment of the examination of that question to
another Legislature, in order that after experiencing the
effect of the organic laws, of which the nation stands in
immediate need, the Deputies may, in concert with the
Government of your Majesty, discuss with perfect know-
ledge the modifications which ft may be necessary to in-
trod:fee into the constitution of the state."

During the debates in the Senate, NARVAEZ made
an attack upon ESPARTERO, denouncing him for at-
tempting to excite a civil war. Speaking of the
good spirit which animated the army and its excel-
lent state of discipline, he alluded to the recent
manifesto of General ESPARTERO, saying that if an
ungrateful man were to forget the duty he owed to
his country and to his QUEEN so :nuch as to'offer his
sword to the cause of revolution, more than ten
thousand brave swords would leap from their scab-
bards to combat the movement, and to defend their
constitutional QUEEN and public order. The re-
marks of the Minister caused a deep sensation in the
Chamber.

We gave the state of the Spanish Funds on the
25th in The Sun ofFriday.

The Paris papers bring no news, and the leading
articles in most of them are of the most uninteresting
description. In one which appears in the Journal des
Debats, we see that journal has at length taken the
new Government of Spain entirely under its protec-
tion, and denounces ESPARTERO as the greatest
enemy of the country. After some ambiguous
writing about NARVAEZ and Co., it adds—" Whether
Spain change her Constitution or not, Heaven pre-
serve that noble land from falling again under the
rule of ESPARTERO. The best Constitution is that
which is now being carried into execution. ESPAR-
TERO would have promulgated a hundred Constitu-
tions without executing any of them."
The Globe contains the following article relative to
the new loan :—" If we are well informed, all uncer-
tainty with respect to the loan will shortly cease, and
a loan of 300,000,000 f. in the Three per Cents. will
almost immediately be announced for adjudication on
the 25th of November next. This is a determination
as skilful as it is wise, for in our opinion, a negotiation
for the full amount of the loan, is the only mode of
giving a spring to public credit, which has been too
long compressed. It must have, moreover, the ad-
vantage of adjourning indefinitely the conversion of
the Five pct. Cents., which we have never ceased to
regard as a measure both impolitic and unjust, and
which becomes every day more impracticable."
The French Funds were rather lower on Thursday,
the Three per Cents. having closed at 81f. 85c.
