SPAIN.--lt is echoed from all quarters that
there is soon to be coup d etat in Spain and
we perceive that Washington correspondent
of the Philadelphia North american, who is
known to receive much Of his information from
very high quarters, says III is believed" our
Government is fully informed of everything in
relation to the contemplated movement at
Madrid He adds:
aThis scheme, it is said, will receive, and
does receive, the countenance and support Of
Louis Napoleon, who is DESTROYS of seeing his
brother-in.law elevated to the Spanish throne
not because a more liberal system of Govern.
ment will be adopted thereby, but because it
will be, in many respects, advantageous to him
to have his near relative established as the
ruler Of Spain. 1t is a part of his plan to unite
Portugal into one kingdom with SPAIN
This may oil DO so. Louis Napoleon may
intend to revolutionize Spain, to conquer Por-
tugal, and to place the Duke Of Alba, the hus-
band Of his wife's sister, upon the throne, as
Emperor But it is mimomer to call that
coup fetat which has not only been 80 deliber-
ately planned, but the programme of which
has been 50 widely published. It will be sim
ply deliberate conquest, aided by the Gle
ments of revolution in Spain; and the publicity
that has been given to the project is solely for
the purpose of eliciting the views Of the nations
in relation to it.
We shall regard il as on onward step in tho
path of human progress. Neither Spain nor
Portugal can be worsted and the trammels Of
new regime will be less binding than those
Of the old. The Evolutionary acquiescencc and
servitude Of the people will be broken up by
change Of masters and if there is a spark Of
the true spirit Of the age in those countries, il
will develop itself
The French Emperor had better move on,
and give Kings and Emperors out of his own
family TO all Europe, if he can. This time,
we trust there will be no restoration unless il
be tho final restoration Of their liberties to the
Sovereign People.

CoLT's PATENT--0ur readers are aware
that ON application is before Congress, asking
for the extension of the patent right Of Mr..
Samuel Colt for the manufacture of repeating
pistols. When the title Of his bill was to-day
read, on tho question Of reporting il to the
House, there appeared to be general, if not
universal, objection. Mr.. Colt we are pleased
TO learn, has already realized very handsome
