SPAIN.


The London correspondent Of the Journal Of Com
merce, in speaking Of the recent revolution in Spain
has The following
This makes the fifth revolution which Spain has
had TO endure within the last twenty three wears and
it, contamination has been more 70 pid than any Of lie
predecessors In 1890 Government was formed ot
Madrid IN sixty-eght days-in 1895 IN sixty-nine
days-in 1896 ~ seventy days--in 1910 in ninety
days"
The same writer adds that Mr. Washington Ir-
wing Minister for the United States and the Mexican
Charge dAfares, are the only members Of the corps
diplomatique who have recognized the new Govern
men France seems 10 be- asonished at the success Of
her ntrgues and pauses 10 watch the nature Of the
triumph, before her Ambassador is committed Aus
trIa Prussia, and Russia, have never ACKNOWLEDGED
any government in Spain since'the death Of Ferdi-
nand, and now they point 10 the PROSTATE condition
of the country Justification TO their policy The
three absolute governments contend that the throne
OF Spain belongs TO Don Carlos that the present
Queen IS not only usurper, but Dastare that she
Is not the offspring Of king Ferdinand and Queen
Christine, but the aduerous result Of a treasonable
connection between the latter and the Spanish guards
man, Munoz, now the avowed husband Of the Cas-
lillian monarchs widow. With such impressions on
the part OF the Northern powers Of Europe II Is
not likely that the order Of things at the Escu-
rial will be much more acceptable Than the past
or that even the restoration Of Queen Christina as
Regent, Will be calculated TO alter their views or
change in any way, the prevailing feelings and deter

MIR. TYLER's ADMINISTRATION.


In the administration which preceded Mr..
TYLER's we took lively interest-and with The
acts of every other one, from the commence

familiar as history eau make us. II we com

certa ny will loose nothing by the comparison
on the contrary, it will gain lusire by comparing
with many points in its past history The gov
eminent was never administered when It's eX-
penses pressed as lightly on the people as at
present-and its transactions with foreign pow
ers have been as honorable and advantageous
10 Itself, as the management of lis domestic al
fairs have been economical aud satisfactory 10 the
people. Certainly no administration, since that OF
Mr. MADISON, has been beset with such emergen-
ces, encountered such bitter opposition, aud
been marked by such important events as the
one under which we now live and still, moi a
single wheel in the complicated machinery OF
government has been displaced, but II has gone
on, gaining strength from the hatred of It's foes,
and making ground in the confidence of its
friends. Interested politicians may prate about
its inetlicency but the vigor which characters
ICES every department. in securing The ends for
which it was established, gives the lie TO their
praltlug |, is out Of no preference for one set
of politicians over another, that we indulge in
these remarks-our position as an editor is a
neutral one-but justice 10 the men in power,
and duty we owe cur readers, as correct
chronicer of passing events, makes the task
with Us imperative.
The happy and honorable termination of dis
putes with other powers-a vigorous, but mid
and unoppressiye course in home concerns-in
short, the sslul administration Of the al
fairs of nation under all difficulties, is better
proof Of the competency, power, and honesty
of lis great head. than the mere inv, Give OF It's

more profit TO Itself than il has been with Mr..
WIckLirrE at its head. No complaints come up
to us of the rregularily or failure OF the mails,
and defaultng post master is now unheard Of
The other departments Of Government are
equally healihy-the settlement Of various vexrd
questions have proved ih,m so-and whatey er
may be said TO the discredit of Mr.. TYLER, by
the crafty and fish, we are well persuaded
that the people vii yet do him justice.
