Threatening aspect of Affairs in Spain

The Paris correspondent of the Times again
draws attention to the increasing danger which
menaces the authority of the lady who is the
present unpopular occupant of the thronen OF Spain
After speaking of the stupid audacity of the Min
isters in attempting ito crush all opposition to the
misdeeds of the Government. and all censure of
the proiigacy of the court" he says:
''The people, and by this term I do not mean
the lower classes exclusively, are becoming not
disguised. for that they have long BEEN but i'm
patient and irritated under the debasing yoke of
an effect favorite, who has not even the poor vr-
tue of generosity TO diminish the hatred with
which he is regarded: and they execrate alike the
unworthy minion as they do the ministry who
hold Office by the ignominious tenure of his pro-
lection. Symptoms of the great discomfort of the
Spanish people appear each day in spite of the ex-
ertions Of the Government; and when we find that
such documents as those, the translation of which
subion are surrepttiously but industriously cir
culated in every corner of Spain, there can be no
longer any doubt of the public execration. and of
the danger to which it is, fear, but the immedi-
ate prelude. The first is to this effect:
GSpaniards! we have suffered enough already.
The abiect condition of tie Government has reach
ed its utmost limit. The laws violated. The
constitution no longer exists The Ministry is no
longer the ministry of the Queen; it is the minis
try of an imbece. absurd, ridiculous favorite; Of
a man without reputation. without glory, without
talent, without heart, without any titles to su-
preme favor except those which the caprice oflust
give him. This new Godoy pretends to plant his
heel on the neck of this heroic nation, the immor-
tai mother of the victims of the I'd of May. OF the
heroes OF Saragossa and Corona of the warriors OF
Ar1ahan, Mencigorria aud Luchana. Are we, in
deed, TO endure with impunity much ignominy!
Are there no longer swords in the country of the
Gida No weapons ofany kind9 Up, up, Spaniardsl
To arms all Death to the favorite! Hurrah for
the constitution and lIberty!"
Another document prognosticates triumph oi
the liberal and parliamentary principle by means
of revolution. Change of dynasty. The house
of Braganza begins to reign. Union OF Spain and
! Portugal PEDRO w The Times correspondent
positively asserts that the union of the two
of the Peninsula has become the great question Of
the day in Madrid and in other principal town:
among the multitude.
Washington telegraph., 1854-03-29

The Washington correspondent Of the Phila-
delphia American writes:
Intelligence received here indicates the prepa,-
alton of scheme for coup d'etat at Madrid,
having for its object the dethronement of the
Queen and the placing the throne the Young
Duke de Alba, with the aid of France The Re-
pub.icans and ultra Liberalists of Span are said
to be united in the project, which also contem-
plates union of Portugal with Spain under one
government 1t is thought this change would
enable us to purchase Cuba from SPAIN

been destroyed by fire. When burnt before
