England has succeeded in stirring up a civil
war in Spain, which is never rsatter of much diff
ficulty. They have manifestly concluded to adopt
this course, in the expectation of producing the
effect in Spain which they aided in producing In
France, TO wit, the overthrow OF the government
although they did not want or expect republic
In Spain, they want to govern, and in case of re-
fusal to make the government repent oft by over
throwing it. England has, therefore, formally
announced that civil war exists in Spain-that
Donna Isabella is only the reigning Queen defecto,
while Don Carlos Lni's is the King de 1isye-and
that Cervan Montemone is at the head of the Don
Carlos party, and seeks ten thousand stand Of arms
from England; that France will not furnish them; and
leaves it to be inferred that England will furnish them
about which there is, probably no doubt 1t Is not
probably any consequence to the world, to Spain
when the Queen or the King upon the throne Spain
doomed to the same state of servitude and will exist
In the same miserable condition under the one as the
other sovereign. But England will gain from the
said faction the daton which the existing
has refused and will be- avenged for the expulsion of
her minister England II, therefore, virtually at war
with Spain, to puts new sovereign upon the throne;
and, perhaps, she has already stipulated as a con-
sderaon, therefore, the cesson of Cuba some other
Spanish possession In this mode she will save the
appearance OF sezipg upon this island by force and
have gained it by creating a civil war under which
circumstances she will hold the new governmen Mt as

governme mt probably doome the heir to the
throne which he is expected to bear will be- perhaps

nounced through the press that its mother is only

nected with the Duke de Menpe nser to defend the
regning power because that would be to assist the
overthrown dynasty Of France to the throne in
Spain; and unless for some reasons now unforeseen

THE Intended Massare-Hs Effect upon the Stock
Market.
This was the day when a banquet was to have
been held in Paris, and a table spread for 200. 900
curriers', so called. A day when, according to
some Developments, all the heads of the gov
eminent were to have been united, the members
OF the National Assembly, &c. &C.; and upon
given signal, all were to have been put to death.
Subsequent Developments induce me to think
that this view of the may be snhsta ntally the
correct one-not that believe that the purpose
communicated to only a few desperate chiefs and
chosen men-and for those who prepared for the
OCCASION it would have been the most efectual mode
perhaps for the instruction for the origin
of the fight would have been known at the moment to
only few in such mass and the slaughter of the
heads Of the government would have parslyzed the
efforts of the people, guard and perhaps the army for
time at least-as all wo uld have been confusion and
without organization and the insurgents would have
barricaded the city and gained the Chamber of the

Prospect of one Chamber in France ,her incidents
referred TO-.
From discussions in the Bureaus, itwould appear
to me to be nearly settled that the Assembly will
adopt one chamber. The most radical party insist
upon the one chamber, and the otherI party, many
of them, talk about senate for sixteen years
on for life and these ideas arising from those
who have been, like Theirs friends of a monarchy,
drive the old republicans stronger and stronger into
the support of one chamber. Yet the vote will be
numerous for two chambers, and that view, / con-
sider is still gaining ground, and possibly before the
expiration of the Assembly, it may be adopted but
there is provision which subjects the constitution to
revision periodically in three or four years, and
these two chambers be adopted they find 1t to be
