Thus the total deficit is 1895, 800 francs, but it
will be observed that previous 10 the revolution the
increase was 663, 900, that there has been fall
ing off since the revolution of 1859 400 francs or
about ffty-sx per cent All the other commercial
ports show, it is said, similar result.
Spain furnishes nothing new beyond rumors of
Cariist risinps in favor OF the Count DE MONTE
moLrS. Ii is generally believed that the Spanish
Ambassador in London has received his passports,
and that all diplomatic relations between the two
countries are for the present suspended. This was
be expected, and is scarcely to be regretted 1t
will be quite as well for England TO take this occa-
sion Of shaking off the dust Of the Peninsula from
her feet, lei Spain manage her own concerns and
contentious, and arrange her distracted affairs as
best she may. The quadruple alliance entitled
England to offer counsel TO Spain SPANS denial
of that right virtually dissolves the alliance. The
argument which justifes our interference involves
the dissolution Of our engagements upon the denial
of our right TO interfere. We shall certainly be
losers in debtor and creditor point of view, but
probably we never had very good chance OF be-
ing any thing but losers Until truth, honor, and
consistency return TO the Spanish counsels, we can
very well submit 10 the absence of an envoy at the
Court of Madrid, and dispense with the presence
of Spanish Minister in London.
Portugal may yet be found in the map Of Eu-
ropes but she appears scarcely to hold place in
the counsels and thoughts Of the politicians Of the
day, and but rarely furnishes even paragraph for
the public journals.
Italy seems to have had her independence estab-
lished by the battle Of Goito an event Of great
importance not only TO that country but TO all Eu-
rope. Northern Italy has for more than eight hun
bred years groaned under German yoke yoke
which has CALLED the nation on which it was inn
posed, without being profitable to the nation which
imposed il. The pretext Of that domination was
founded on the superannuated claim Of the En-
peror as successor Of the Caesars Napoleon ex-
posed that absurd preenson, and abolished il with
the title. Its revival was one Of the gross foole-
ries and anachronisms of 1915. But the only peo-
pie who could efec,ually and rghuully destroy the
imperial pretension were the Italians themselves,
and they have done so. They have resuscitated
their country. 1t is fortunate that il is not the
Italian people that have risen alone, for they might
not have knowri how TO consolidate their empire
and their freedom; but an Italian monarch has

positively that he had had the commission sixty
days before having qualified to it and when spo-

more than sixty days; SO his mind is even vet va
