Osorois again at Puycerda with his troops.
Madrid journals have arrived 10 the 20lh.
| The QaeSn of Spain has published an amnesty to
all prisoners but as those guilty of treason, sedon,
robbery, MURDER sacrlege, swndllns &c. are except
ed, we cannot imagine TO what class of criminals the
said amnesty can extend An amnesty can of course
be intended solely for those who have erred from po-
litcal motives Yet the excepting of those guilty of
| treason sedon excludes at once every one con-
demned for political motives As TO the Cars's they
do not need amnesty having arms in their hands;
but should b. truly glad Of any measure likely to
conciate the Esatutiss, and win them back TO the
support of the Queen. The French King has sue

even higher powers. The Mnis,eralists proposed

respondent of all the French journals Sgnor Alfaro
is in the mean time IN prison. II is bad mode of re-
futalon to inprsen an antagonist writer. Senior Ca

LORD Joas RUssELLs ApDREss.-We invite the
particular attention Of readers to the address from
Lord John Russell TO the electors Of the borough of
| Stroud
The noble Lord, with manly simplicity states what
the government of which he is member have effect
| ed III the way OF Improvement in institutions du
| ring the sessions of 1886, and 1897. The most de
termined opponent Of the government must admit
that he has not Ovcrstaed claims the support Of
| an enlightened nation.
While, however, he pays Just tribute 10 the manly
and straightforward conduct of the Duke of Welng-
ton with respect TO the poor law amendment act the
| noble Lsrd very properly contrasts with that con-
duct the dishonest and disrsputable course pursued by
the conservative party in general, both and out Of
| Parliament
But the address of Lord John Russell is important
not only with reference 10 the past but alse as an in
dicaton of the conduct which ministers NAV be ex-
no N he mn hova
doubt that ministers will more than fulfil the pledges
so modestly given by his Lordshp.
