The Revolution In Spain.

The following extract from the London cores
pondence of the Journal Of Commerce presents
an ineligible and interesting notice of the late
revolution in Spain, which resulted in the down.
fall of Espartero
Espartero has fallen, and, as predicted in my
last has taken refuge on board British ship OF
war,-the Malabar of "A guns. His excelIency
fled from Port st. Mary near Cadiz, on the morn
ing of the 30th ut. reaching the vessel in open
boat, and by the dawn OF day. His destination
is not at present known; by some it is contended
that he will seek an asylum in Cuba, and that now
he is carecring across the Atlantic; many pre-.
sumo that he will take up his residence in Eng
land to be nearer the scene of action and ready
for any emergency This Government have is
sued orders at the outports to receive the deposed
parsonage with all the honors due to his high
rank and peculiar position, and Lord Aberdeen,
the Secretary of State for foreign affairs dis
tinctly avowed that such was his intention, when
questioned on the subject in the House Of Peers.
The last military act of his Highness has led to
severe comments upon the closing of his career
in SPAIN namely, the apparently random bom-
bardment of Seville, after Madrid had pro.
nounced" for the insurrectlonary army. But we
must patiently wait for further information before
we draw such harsh conclusions, for l am not
quite sure that be was conscious that the capital
had capituated, and that his army sent for It's
defence had iraternized with the troops OF Mar
vaez We must also suspend our judgement
upon the seeming ignoblc termination of his
eyentful administrations for all is still mystery,
and mere successful military manGuvre.
The Government that has been established at
Madrid is II pure despotism. BY a Convention
between the national guards and the successful
General, the former were to be guaranteed their
rights and permitted to retain their arms. They
have been, by coup d etat, arbitrarily dissolved
and dsarmed. The corporation of the capitol
have been deprived of all municipal functions
and the Judges of the Supreme Tribunals, thlr-
teen in number, because they declared that they
could not, according TO the Constitution, recog-
Mise the legal existence of Lopez as prime minis
ter, have been dismissed with all the insult and
ignomny that could be heaped upon them. The
Cortcs summoned by Espartero have been placed
under revoke, and another called forth IN the
name of the powers that be- Creatures of the
Lopez League have been thrust into the vacant
judicial bsenches, and new corporation has
been nominated pledged 70 be whatever the Gov
ernment may insist upon. The d!sarmed na.
t,onal guards arc kept In awe by the shocless,
hailess and shlrtless sans cutotteS from Barceo
ma, who to the number of 7,000 under General
Prym, would as soon cut throat, as smoke a ci
gar, and perchance find 1t much more agreeable
and GENIAL amusement or luxury.
This revolution, SO strangely commenced, sin
gulariY continued, und eccentucally completed

Espartero Quilted Spanish soil on the thrneth o
July and the insurrection has Just lasted slxtv
FIVE days. This makes the fifth revolution winch
Spain has had to endure within the las, twenty
three years, and Its consuminAtion has been mort
rapid than any OF It's predecessors. In lS2U {
Government was formed at Madrid IN slxty-clgh
days--in 1885 in sixty nine dsys-n 1886 IL
seventy days-in 1910 In ninety days.

knowledgcd any Government IN Span since tht
death of Ferdinand, and now they point to tht
PROSTATE condition of the country as ]ushhca

an usurper, but bastard; that she is not the
offspring of King Ferdinand and Queen Christina
