The London Courier makes the following re-
marks on the subject of the Duke d. Anronlerne's
entering Madrid, which was expected TO take
place % the oath Nav.
:" And what next Aye-what indeed. We
have heard it said that Regency will then be
established in Ferdinand's name. Admit tive
think it highly probable but still the question,
"what next !"-remainst TO puzzle us. Ofwhom
will this regency be composed BY whom will
1t be recognized? What power will it be able
to exercise What foreign relations can il
maintain How many weeks will eapse, before
contending factions will dissolve it /? Can any
Regency, in the existing state of,the country. be
established, which would continue to support Il.
self? Look to the enormous expense of such a
measure-and-wtich is Infinitely more 10 the
purpose. look 10 that which must be the policy OF
England, if there should arrive the Slightest
chance ofa military occupation ofSpain hy France.
Ihis country has hitherto stood aloof upon the
superstition that, one way or the other, the con-
test might perhaps be soon terminated but can
1t be imagined that protracted war, or pro-
tracted interference would permit us to continue
our present policy
This great obstacle to any toleraS e adjust
ment of the question, arises from the royal fam
lily of Spain being in the hands of those who will
listen TO no terms. If the Kings person should
be removed to the Canaries, our Ambassador
would of course follow him, while, perhaps, the
Ambassadors of France, Russia, Austria and
Prussia, would be accredited to the Regency at
Madrid. From such position ofaiTairs, il would
be absurd to expect that any permanently pacific
arrangements at all, could flow. In fact, the
more we reflect upon the future, remembering
what has passed and what is passing, the more
we are perplexed to discover satisfactory con-
clusion to the business"
