my letter BY the Great Western events of the utmost
Importance have become known TO and have occur
red capable in fact of producing total change IN the

instance threatened to produce war between France
and the four other great powers Of Europe and which
in the second WILL if successfully carried into effect
reduce Mehemet Ali really to the condition OF de-
pendent on the Sultan, and cripple him in means
and extent of territory to put out OF his power
again to become formidable.
Ii recollect rightly, my letter of 22d ultimo LEFT
every thing calm to appearance Spain pacifed,
and the affairs of the East about to be amicaby ar
ranged.
You will remember that the young Queen of Spain
and her mother, the Queen Regent had proceeded
from Madrid to Barcelona, in much state but for
what what important affair, the world was
LEFT completely in ignorance The truth was that Her
Majesty the Queen Regent had fallen into the views
of her uncle King Louis Philip matters o. Govern
ment and had by his advice, determined on breaking
up the constitution and reforming it on the plan of
that which obtained in France, notwithstanding that
revolutions had taken place in this country to ac

Philip had been permitted to establish the charter of
Louis the 18TH the Of that for which the peo
pie fought bled and conquered, and the neghbor-
hood of democratic form of government was
Irksome and might prove announcement to HIM, ne
counseled his august niece proceed similarly with
tie Spaniards Accordingly bill was brought into
the Cortes and passed last month"; for regulating
the Ayunfamiendos Cor municpaliiies) the mode of
election, the qualification Of electors, &c As by the
Spanish constitution, suffrage nearly universal
King Louis Philip advised and his advice follow
ed that il should be declared that should have
the power of voting for member Of Cortes who did
not pay certain amount of direct taxes Thus the
electors of France had been reduced to fewer than
300 600 and consequently rendered attanabe for the
purpose of corruption 1t proposed that those of
Spain should be instead Of three millions only 60 600
The bill with this object passed and only wanted
the assent Of the Queen Regent to become law
Her Majesty was absent from the Capitol and it was
dispatched after her II found her in Barcelona and
produced explanation of the motives of her journey
and other matters, to which shall come presently
Her object in leaving Madrid and going to BARGE
Iona was TO see and bring to the views of King
Louis Phip-Espartero, and through him the army.
This achieved the overthrow Of the Constitution
safe and the people under safe control Esparero,
however although great matter as fighter appears
be an honest patriot He refused his concurrence,
and requested of the Queen to refuse her assent to
the Municipalities Bill and to dismiss her Ministers
She refused and he resigned and his resignation
accepted. In consequence an instruction took place
in Barcelona the 18th inst. After some trfing
disorders had been committed and that Her Majesty
had been thoroughly frightened she sent for Espar

proposed that conference of the Representatives Of
the five great European Powers France England
Austria, Russia and Prussia should take place in
London to arrange the affairs of Turkey and Egypt
| They met accordingly, but the French Government
refused to concur in any proceeding founded the
principle Of depriving Meheme Ali Of Syria and this
was appears, of the great provisions Of the
templated treaty The Representatives of the other
Powers proceeded with their labors and we are told
brought them to a close last week The four great
Powers with the concurrence of Turkey, bound them
selves by treaty to compel Mehemet Ali to restore the
Turkish Fleet, and to abandon all his conquests-re-
serving to him only Egypt in perpetuity, and the Pa
shalek of st Jean d Acre for life
