Spain at the present moment probably presents as
complete an anarchy as ever was exhibited by any
nation.' But the ecclesiastical fanatics and the arbi-
trary supporters of despotism who remain in that coun• •
try to disßute the miserable rem tins of tyranny and
misrule, are not the only Spaniards destined to quari el
about the wisdom of their plans or the purity of their
creed. The friends of Constitutional Government who
have been obliged to take refuge in England from the
domestic persecutions of their common I:ith, are even
here divided into sects, and contest the causes of their
exile as warmly as if place and power depended on the
decision. The Spanish magazine, called Et Espanol
Constitucional, published in London, is the arena of
confl ct, and two doughty champions, Senors Don Jose
Maria Calatrava and -Don Alvaro Florez-Estrada,
both frnm:Tly Ministers, both zealous frieeds of con-
stitutional liberty, but differing in this—that the one
is an exaltado, and the other a nsoclerado—have en-
tered it to decide the merits of their sepatate systems,
and contest the reasons of their common failures. M.
F.orez Estrada, in the last number of that publ;cation,
displays much heat against the unfortunate otoderado
(likewise a man of talents), who figures on the same
list of proscription, and treads the same land of exile
with himsef.
' M. Florez Estrada brings some charges against the
last Constitutional Ministry of Spain, as evidencei of their
incapacity and causes of their ruin. The first two things
which he finds fault with are the two articles of the Con-
stitution which established intolerance in religion, and
the absolute independence of the judges. On these,
however he does riot dwell ; nor can he impute them
exclusively to the patty of the last Ministry. The next
point font's a more intelligible ground of charge, and
probably in any future change would deserve the greatett
attention. Ferdinand, he contends, had by his conduct
towards the best friends of his person and of the mo-
narchy, on his return from France, shewn himself so
utterly ungrateful, so incorrigibly tyrannical, and so
hopelessly depraved, that he ought not to have bee!'
retained at the head of. the State without farther checks
on his power at the reestablishment of the Constitution
in 1820. The next reproach which M. Florez-Estrada
brings against all the Ministries who governed Spain
during the existence of the Constitutional regime, is
founded on a design which they all entertained, although
none of them expressed it, of changing or modifying
the Constitution, so as to have two Houses or Chambers
instead of OPe. From this fruitful source of mischief
our author traces most of the evils which for three years
afflicted his country, and that indecision and %cables% by
which its liberties and independence were finally lost.
This design, he allows, was not exclusively the pro-
perry of the last Cabinet; but the declared intention
of removing the seat of Government front Madrid to
Andalusia, as soon as the French should pass the Py-
rennees, was an imprudence entirely their own. M.
Florez-Estrada endeavours to prove that this measure
more than sny other alarmed the people, and paralyzed
the army; that it could only be justified on the suppo-
sition of a sudden surprise, and ought never to have
formed part of a premeditated scheme of defence. He
even finds for it a motive very discreditable to the sense
or honesty of the Ministers. According to him, they
still entertain the idea of modifying the Constitution.
But they could not remain at Madrid without either
ordering resistance ta be made to the French invaders.
whirrs would have been destructive. to the scheme of
modification, or without exposing themselves to the
fury el the exaltados, if they remarried inactive, which
would have been dangerous to their own lives. The
translation of the seat of Government, first to Se-
ville and then to Cadiz, u as, therefore, a consequence
of this insincereand temporizing colicy. The means
by which it was justified were as bad as the motive was
unjustifiable. The people were assured by t!.em that
the French m ould not pass tHe Bidassoa, and this delu.
si,•n was kept up till the invaders weze in Medi id. NO
adequate prep nations were therefore made to repel
their a tacks, or to arrest their progress. M. Florez-
Estrada draws here a true and vivid picture of the
disarmed state of Spain en the entry of the French. He
informs us that the regular army did not then exceed
44 OUO men, and that not one of the fortresses -was
sufficiently garrisoned and provisioned. No effec-
tive measure was even adopted to call out the militia,
who would have composed a corps of 140,000 men
at least, as much accustomed to active service as a
great portion of the invading army. It is easy to
allow that the Generals appointed to command the
different corps of the regular troops could not have
been properly chosen, since they nearly all betrayed
their country, and sold their honour. General Villa
Campa, who w..s placed at the head of the four
kingdoms of Andalusia, had not made even a fourth of
the preparations which were announced in his dis-
patches. Yet the only excuse found for his negligence
or treachery was, that the French had certainly en-
tered Andalusia; but " against every military ;Ale."
Yet even after the installation of the Cortes at Seville,
Riego, whose fidelity could not be questioned, and
whose credit was more involved in the revolution than
any other General, was refused a command. It would
be needless to pursue further the details of a system of
conduct, which was, in fact, from first to last, one" big
blunder," which was marked by the most striking pre-
sumption and imbecility, and which could only have
succeeded by a miracle on the side of the Cortes, or
by a visitation of moon-struck madness on the head of
the invaders.

M. Florez-Estrada dwells on this impol icy of announc-
ing modifications in the Constitution, while the Muslin
were about to call on the people to support it, and
the folly of trusting Ferdinand one hour after the 7th
uf July, has always been our own. The political fa.
t ric of the Cortes, founded on the tottering and narrow
basis of a democracy, neither supported .by .public
opinion, national property, nor national prejudice, and
attacked at once by sap and storm—by royal trea•
chery and ecclesiastical bigotry—must probably could
not long have withstood the assault of its domestic ene-
mies; but when these enemies had called foteigneri
to their aid, and when the Ministry had appealed
to the nation for support, all ilea of change or compro •
mist should have been at an cad. In holding out such

a

...

a otosrect, therefore, and it discountenancing the party
hope, exclusive emhusiasm" for the existing order of
tl.'ogs.svas their best protection, the moderatos- acted
with great ..imprudenoe and folly. How could they
c Ali upon the people to support institutions of which they
professed their disapprobation, and which they intended
to change ? What patriot could be expected to draw
his mind for a code which defett would certatily abo-
lish, and which victory could not perpetuate? Who
mould shed his Mood for a political es•ablishment which
might perish during the struggle, and. whiCh could not
survive the .peace? The inscription on the rallying
standard of patriotism or faith, must contain some cer-
tain and decided principle. Zealous adherents can
rieverhe found for a provisional creed, either in religion
or politics., They will not shed their blood for one fixed
truth and on indefinite et cetera. Flow could a Spanish
Generals for instance, expect energy from his troops, or
zralotwco-operation from his countrymen, by calling
upon them to fightmanfully for. one legislative cham-
her, and telling.' hem that at the expulsion of the invader
tbey thonld have two; or by sayintiv, to them, " the
first otticle'of
„toot Constitution establishes religious in-
tuleronce, lay•about you • like furies in defence of this
said Constitution, and at the end of the war your re-
formed King and your two Chambers will decree uni-
versal toleration?". If the liberal ,aodcrado patty in
Spain had intended to fight for their Constitution, they
obould never have spoken of modifying it—it they in-
tended to. nsodity it, they should never bave thought of
fighting*. it unmodified.

The impulse given to Tiede, and the consequent

magner. hi the resent prices,bf the French and Eng-
lish Funds. Notwithstanding the vast sum thrdwn
suddenly on the Money Market by the Quarterly Divi-
dendi just paid, there has not been the slightest altera-
tion'in theptices. It follows, therefore, that upwatdo
of Four Millions have been at once absorbed by the
ordinary demands; and as a very large pot tion of those
Dividends is in trust, and belongs to charitable cor-
porations. minors, am for whose benefit it is necessarily
re=invested in the purchase of fruitier Stock, the te is an
evident disposition on the part of the Capitalists who
hold disposable Stock to sell out, and transfer the pro-
duce to other more productive sources.
We have formerly and unifoimly contended, that
the natural Interest of Money derivable from the Funds,
when they are left to the operatiOn of real transactions,
couldneirrr, durilrg a period of peace, and in a healthy
state of commerce, fall materially short of ai per
Gynt. so that our Thee per Cents. should not, unless
nnifer the influence of temporary and extraordinary
rty.:-,es, average much above or under 85. This opinion
will Be found to be approaching its 'confirmation, as
appears by the present state of the Market.

it appearp, that those who assented to the reduced rate'

bargain. The annuity of-C4, which they accepted, sells
within fotir per cent: of the annuity of five pound,,
which they surrendered. There can kon no question that
