Adyices from Spain represent that cour-
try as being still in wrctched condition.
Riots and conspiracies are continually form
ing against the government, and are only
prevented from being carried into full eff
feet by the pryng vigilance Of the Kings
cmissaiics, who are continually on the alert,
domestic retirement for victims for the ty-
mnnical and barbarous rapacity of their des-
picable employer. The more the King
pcrsecutes, the more faithless are his sub
iccts. He expects by the application of the
rod TO bring them to obedience and sub
mission; but so ear from this they are only
rendered more rcsoute in their dctermina-
ton to throw off the yoke which has SO long
and so severely CALLED them, and to assert
the rights which at once belong to chris
tians and to men. The following extract
from the Dublin Morning Post of May 81,
i;among our latest intelligence from this
quarter.
SpKIN.-This devoted country seems to
be still the prey of anarchy. Bands Of Con-
stitutionalists commit deprcdations in ev-
erv direction, and are said to be particular
" hostile to the clergy, on whom they in
fict summary vengeance whenever they
fail into their hands. 1t is stated in y
letter from Madrid, that the Captain OF
one of these predatory bands, named Lar
ara, formerly an officer in the Constitutional
army, and very wealthy, secured the coun-
try near AranjucZ, and deticd even the Do-
az guard Of the King; but the chief cause of
terror, was an Officer of cavalry, who had
sworn to avcngc the murder of nine of the
baud which he hal frned These men
were executed, and died calling on their
Captain to punish their murderers. A de-
tachmenr Of the lanccrs OF the Royal guard
were sent out against the band, but they
were shamefltlly defeated and two of them
tell by the sword Of the captain, whose head
has since had price set upon it. a larg-
or boly of troops was ordered out, but
they refused to march, unless they re-
cciycd their arrears of pay. This is now
the tone of all, and Ferdinand threatens to
raise money by forced loan Of sixty millions
of reals upon the merchants of Madrid and
Cadiz. The greatest misery pervatles the
country, and the fever is appearing in many
place. In Andausa the people are starry
ing, corn being beyond the means of pur-
chase. Fifty miles from the province it is
only at one fourth of its price in Andalusia
but as nine out of ten of the conveys fall in
to the hands of Constitutionalsts, little can
be obtained.
The following elegant, pathetic, and patri-
otic address from the Secretary of War to
the Cadets at West Point, was made at the
late examination of the Students at this insti-
tuition. We believe, says the Editors oi
the Baltimore American, that every Amer
lean will concur in opinion with us, that il
seems rather the tender admonition OF /;
father to children whom he dearly loves
than the production of an officer of our re-
public. The sentiments are alike paterna
and patriotic-thc Hon. Secretary brings
firesidc rccollcctons to the aid of the gov
ernment. Is not a government strong
and stable when we see in its vcncrAbl,
face, not the stern frown of authority
but the mild and tender features of parenta
love.
