of The Spanish monarchy, aud could NOT be
altered by the will of any man. Al the
commencement Of his letter. o. T.. O. ask.
the question whether the Sale law was n
part of the Spanish monarchy aud of the
Spanish people. To the first part Of this in
interrogatory the writer answers himself in
the affirmative to the latter, IN the mega
tive. He thinks that, as against the Queen
Regent and her daughter, Don Carlos mas
a claim TO the monarchy as the representa-.
tive of the male line and the SaIic law, but
as against the Spanish people none whaiey-
er. He thinks that were the contest be-
tween Don Carlos, thus situated, and the
Queen on the part of her daughter aud in
virtue Of the decree of King Ferdinand, the
matter wOnld soon he settled, believing that
the Spanlards are Indifferent as To whether
n male or female shall reign, and that in
asnuch as the Queen has the army and the
treasury, Don Carlos would have soon fall
EN- and been forgotten. He says that Fer
dinand had just sense enough to know that
the Spanish monarchy was failing, but was
not aware that TO touch even the smallest
portion of itwould cause the whole to tum-
he to pieces. That his Queen with more
clear-sigh ghtedness perceived that such would
be the result, aud under The assurances of
NJ. lea BermudeZ that constitutional
monarchy might be formed similar to that
of Great Britain, invented The description
of government pointed out by the will of
the King, to avert a revolution. The
scheme was adopted to reconcile the mod
crate portion of the nation, but the Spanish
people were 10 parties 10 II. Ii was mat
ter If importance 10 the people therefore
that the person who could give The largest
assurances as to the adoption Of IA constI,u-
tiOu embracing the greater extent Of popu-
| lar and elective right, should receive the
greatest support. q. =. q. thinks that if
/ the question were whether they should have
the Queen or Don Carlos as an absolute
monarch, the latter would be preferred and
wisely, inasmuch AS he would not he SO Ii
able to foreign influence, the bad effects of
IA regency would be avoided; and he pos
sesses AN unblemished mrral character in
all the private relations of life, and more
over he would possess influence with the
clergy in favor of reform, in which the
Queen would probably have failed. Ailer
thus stating his views as to the origin and
partly as to the present nature uf the dis
pute, .. Z. q. proceeds to enter into the de-
tails of Spanish politics, protesting to show
how the parties were formed AT home and
among those who were exiled to foreign
countries, and what connections they have
with the pollticiana of France and England.
Among o:her things he speaks Of the ad-
mnistration of Mendizabel, which he re-
( CARDS favorably, as bringing into advantu-
geous operation the interest which that gem
tleman possessed in England, but to which
as it would appear, the Queen Regent is
lnimical.
