ABnicATIoN or TIE QrELS RECENT.
Intelligence of this event was received in
London on the 2Cth Of October. The autograph
act of abdication was signed OH the Itch, having
been preceded by a dissolution OF the Cortes.-
The following account is given by the cores
pendent of the London Chronicle:
'iThc Queen had made up her mind TO quit
Spain before Espartero ard her new ministers
arrived. 1t is known that she consented to their
appointment When they reached Valencia, and
proceeded to an interview with the Queer, they
stated 30 her the situation OF affairs at Madrid,
the anxious and excited expectations OF the peo-
pie, and the necessity of calming them by kind
of address or manifesto, promising the withdraw
al of the municipal law, as we'll the submits
sion to the future Cortes for discussion Of that
modification of the regency for which certain
parties clamorcd Her Majesty was avcrse
alike to any statement OF disapprobation OF the
municipal law, or TO any allusion to the cues
ton of the regency. She demanded from the
ministers present note In writing OF these their
recommendations and demands. This, with some
hesitation, was drawn up, it being the wish cf
the ministers to merely allude to the regency
question, ard not offend the Queen with condi-
lions which the Cortes might reject.
! On receiving and peraSing the note OF her
ministers. the Queen-Regent Withdrew and sent
| for Espartero, with whom alone she had short
conference. Espartero quilted the Queen with
| a countenance full of emotion, brought the min-
listers instantly TO his apartments, and there IN
| formed them that she had already ffaMn up and
signed her abdicstion of the regency, which she
seemed determined TO persevere in. Alter some
consultation among themselves, Espartero and
the ministers returned TO the Qucen and used
their utmost efforts to dissuadc her from the cx
trcme-a revolution. All represented to her that
the difficulties and disagreeableness oil the mo
ment were not so great as she imagined. Hel
Majesty remained immovably determined. Sc
nor Ferror then observed that, II Queen Chris
tina insisted on Indicating, and ON retiring t.
Naples. as she proposed, she must leave TIL
Young Queen Isabella to the guardianship OF tn
nation, and must also give up the public proper
ty vested in her as Queen and Regent. Christi
ma made no difficulties with respect to Queer
Isabella, but the demand of her resignin5 he
right over all property seemed to cause her som
hesitation. She said she would reflect upon !
till next day. The next day, however, she wa
resolved on abdication and Withdrawing to Ma
pies at all events; and she handed the act OF ABB
dlcatfon, which had been ready ON the first day
to Senior Ferrer The ministers accordingly an
nounced the event to the nation.
Tie same correspondent adds:
'sIer Maiesty's desire appears to have been
so great to quit the country. that she IS said Z
have expressed wish to 90 on board small
, vessel in the harbour and TO sail Immediately
