The marriage of the Queen with her cousin, the
Duke of Cadiz, and Of her Majesty's sister: the
penser, has been sanctioned by the Cortez by
immense maiorites. The Queens marriage IL
not disa pproved of but that of her sister has sx-
cited storm OF indignation which every BODY ex-
poets will lead to extensive bloodshedding, II not
to long and terrific civil war; Almost all the
newspapers, not under the control OF the govern
ment, have protested warmly against any alliance
OF the heiress the throne with prince OF France
For this they have been seized repeatediy-one Oh
them as often as five times in single week
Immense pains and brutal tyranny have been
employed by the government to prevent the mani
festation of hostility to the marriage, but, IN spite

taken. The British ambassador is most decloeoiy
opposed toit, and, in the name oil his government,

embarrassment to the Spanish Ministers. ms

late her sister also, the latter was declared to be
unwell. 1t appears that these Marriages nave loo

ties, and are daily expecting TO hear oil thor
