July, 1912.
Since The general pacification, Russia
has, in coscert With her allies, given more
than one proof OF the interest she takes ia
Spain. The correspondence which has
taken place between the different courts
OF Europe, attests the wish which the
Emperor has always formed that the au-

Of pure aud generous principles, and with

which emanaie from thrones are conser

troubles, they only engender a new chaos.
In declaring his conviction on this point,
the Emperor only speaks according to the
lessons Of experience. II we look back
on the past, great examples present Them
selves for the mediialion OF nations aud
sovereigns.
His Majesty persists IN his opinion; his
wishes are not changed; of that he here
gives the most formal assurance.
II now belongs to the government OF the
Peninsula to judge whether institutions
imposed by one Of those violent acts-the
fatal pa,rimony Of the revolution against
which Spain had struggled with SO much

Interesting fran Europe. Clouds were
gathering in the European sky. The
Emperor Alexander had denounced the
spirit of the Revolution in Spain; and had
IN e6act, demanded its abandonment. Il
will be remembered that when Ferdinand
9TH announced TO the various Courts Of
Europe his acceptance Of the Constiiu-
ton Of 1912. favorable answers were re,
turned only from France, England, and a
few Of the minor powers; but oothing was
heard Of the opinions Of Russia, Austria
aud the other arbitcrs Of Europe on the
subject, itnow appears that the Eape-
ror Of Russia directed his Ministers TO ac-
quaint the Spanish Ambassador of the
profound affection he fell in contemplating
the violence by which the destinies OF
Spain had been changed Of the good
wishes he had always felt for the CONSOLE
daiion Of the Spanish Monsrcby; and Of
his hopes that the steps which had receut.
~ been taken would be retraced; and that
he might still consider Spain as an ally
and friend. Soon after this be issued a
Memorial 10 the Allied Cabinets, 10 which
he assumes more indignant tone; and
recommends TO the FIVE Allied Powers
who goyernthe destinies oil Europe, TO ex.
press 10 the Cortes, as he had done, their
opinions on the subject. Dvested Of its
diplomatic phrassology, the proposition Of
Alexander to his Allies is -" To call
upon the Spanish Corles to ask pardon Of
their King FOX the coersion exercised OH
him; 70 renoMce the republican features
OF the Constitution Of 1912; and to in.
form them in case Of refusal, that Spain
can no longer be considered as an allied
or friendly power" What effect this
proposition has had on the allied powers

The note which the Chevalier de Zea

Constantly animated with the desire of

when Freedom deck'd'her mountain cave,
And heard the distant howl ofwar;
Fhe clanking chain, the shouting brave,
The hostile spear, the smoking car;
The maid her silver clarion took,
And deeply blew through hill and glen,
Till rock and tree and cavern shook,
And echo paid her back again.
Down from her wildly bright retreat
Her rosy couch and sylvan shade,
With golden sandals on her feet,
With flowers and beauty's light array'd,
She came, and thousands at her side
wav'dhgh in air the glittering sword,
And bravely fought, and conquering died,
For freedoms veal, at Freedoms word.
And thousands yet, celestial maid
Whene'er thy trumpet warnings bid,
For thee in arms, for thee array'd,
Shall conquer as their fathers did.
And e'er should tyrant's foot intrude,
Letters offre and tracts of gore,
Shall mark the ebbing of his food,
And haste his exit from the shore.
