INTERESTING LETTER.


We have been politely favoured (says
the New York Daily Ad,ertlser) with the
following extract of a letter from Spain
1t is from a resident in that country, and
contains most encouraging representation
of the prospects of the COnstltutlonalsts.
The translated paragraph it contains will
he read with peculiar interest, ms Il IS from
a private letter of "A French officer to his
father'n-law, a Spanish gentleman, and
however unwilingiy, concurs in the same
sentiments. OF the name and rank Of the
officer we are not informed but there is
not doubt of the genulncnrss OF his letter.
II is with great pleasure we publish this
honorable testimony 10 the good effects OF
the constitution, ard such decided evi-
dence that its enemies are becoming dis
hedrtened.

Spain remote from scenes of conflict, ter
