FROM THE LONDON MAGAZINE.
.9BSENCE.
By Mrs.. CorascaH Baron Wilson.
I she'd no tear, heave no sigh,
Though lonely am lett again
NY heart is still, my cheek is dry,
And none have heard my lips complain
But buried in this bleeding breast,
Aud deep within this burning brain,
Exist the thoughts that ne'er can rest,
Tul thou rvtun'st TO me again.
Perchance, cen now, as on my bed,
Restless, with anxious care lie,
In these dark hours of storm and dread,
Percl.ance thou brav' 81 the Indictment sky.
Far from thy much lov'd peaceful home,
Far from The heart that holds thee dear;
Thro' midnight wilds thon'rt doomd to roam,
with none to gladden., or to cheer!
What Is our life A fever'd dream
Few are is hours Of real bliss
And distant far our footsteps seem
From calm domestic happiness
oh would that on some lonely wild,
Where no intruding feet could stray,
Where none but love and nature smFd,
That we might dream our days away!
Far from this crowded, busy scene,
Far from a world Of storm andstrife;
Where blighted hopes still intervene,
Like clouds, to damp the sun Of life;
There like those placid streams that run
Where never ocean Gibbs or hows,
Our days should gently glide in one
ohe peaceful scene of calm repose

BALTIMORE, July IA.

IMPORTANT LEWIS FtOH EChofhs
BALTIMORE, July IA.
The new line packet ship New York,
Capt. Maxwell, arrived at New ork
on Friday-By this arrival the editors
of the Commercial Advertiser have re-
ceived their regular files of London and
Liverpool papers, Lloyd's and Shipping
Lists, SC. The London papers are to
the evening of the 3lst of May, and the
Liverpool of the 4th of June.
FRANCE and SPAIN.
We fear that our hopes of the sue
cessful resistance of the Spaniards, are
disappointed, and the misgivings that
we have occasionally expressed, more
than realized In other words-that the
most efficient of the Spanish chiefs are
deserving the cause of the Constitution,
and disgracing themselves by measures
which in effect win be the same as en-
bracing the part of the invaders. The
reader will lind below three documents
of great interest; the first is letter of
18th of MAY, from the Count de Mon
tito to the Count d'Abisbal calling upon
him to declare himself independent UNI
til the King shall be released, and as
serting that ito put in practice the Con-
stitution of 1912, is physically and NOR
ally impossible; )" the other is the an
swer of Count d'Absibal, dated the 18th,
declaring shat the majority ofthe ma
ton does not desire to continue the
Constitution of 1884," and suggesting
the adoption ofthe following measures,
viz:
1. To notify to the Duke D'Angoul-
enc that the Spanish nation, in concur
renee with the King, would alter the
Constitution.
.. To bring back the King TO Madrid.
5. To convoke new Cortes.
d. That the King should nominate a
new Ministry.
5. That general Amnesty should be
published. The substance of this letter
was placarded through Madrid on the
10Th of Nav, and on the 18th, Abisbal
issued a Proc lamation (Which will be
found below exporting the inhabitants
to receipe tie French army as friends l.!
On this subject, as the Courier remarks,
cone very important consideration Is,
whether Abisbal has acted in concert
with the other Constitutional Generals,
or whether, having the defence of the
capital entrusted TO him, his surrender
oft has been NEARLY an insulated act OF
NEGOTIATION. five are to suppose the
former, then we should say there re-
mains no chance of Spain making a
successful resistance: but if the latter
should turn out to be the case, then,
whatever may have been hitherto the
probabilities of ultimate triumph, they
will not be materially diminished by the
transaction.
The Quotidienne, speaking of this
