Christina is the object Of Sucn Sangulnary hatred that it is impossible to get her out of Spain by tbe road of Saragossa to Oloron; more impossi- hIo still that she should embark at Valencia or Barcelona; and it has therefore been decided to nondpct her to the frontier of Portugal. But bor mere departure is not sufficient. Not oriiy her iointure which, legally her second maIri- ape has fortified but retrospection bill is to be laid before Cortes, by which the Queen Mother ;s+o be made to disgorge what for several years, ns wife of Munoz, she has received in consider aton of her first marriage with Ferdinand VII. The harricades disappear with difficulty. AL roadv Espartero has excited some discontent: and if private letters may be depended upon. the enthusiasm of the first days is falling off. Barcelona is reported to have passed through he dreadful ordeal of ten hours fight; and tbougb the socialists have been put down and tbe cause of order, it is said, has become tri unphant, if this report be true the most sa = Guj ne friends of Spain cannot but look on with disluetude and fear. Concha, it is fixed goes to Cuba, and Olozaga comes to Paris. The Inuta has nominated the Infante Don Henry de Bourbon to the rank of chief of d naval s1uadron Gen. Olanc--such are the si a lge changes of human affairs-has just pass ed in re- view at Araoiuez the division of Gen. Blazer OIl- nell The bank of San Fernando has advanced 100000 reals to the Minister of Finance who is Collado and not Mollaro, as I apprsed you and who has been promised all sorts of fa- ciLties by the capitalists for the negotiation of treasury bills. Espartero has been compelled to be bled, and is better
 The population in general is tranquil, but there is evidently feeling of mistrust. The 1J, affo +ho o1,,tio gressistas are the masters of it. It is true ODonnell, by being nominated Minister of war seems to divide the administration equally with Espartero, the premier But there is distrust on both sides The field of battle will be the elections. Each party will strain every nerve to oain the victory over the other. The un- tlswill remain in permanence; those terrible as- semblages of men whose deeds were so mark ed in the annals of history, and their influence in the progressista cause cannot be doubted. Espaftero takes leaf out of the book of Napo- leon TIL, and is remarkable for his reserve. OD0nnell protests he desires nothing but par liamentary government and the consultation of the throne of Isabella II.
 Below is a sketch of the new order of things
 Butto return to Spain. With the sorry fruits of coalition before our eyes at home we can- not necessarily have any great faith in that which has just been formed there We hear. to be sure, that moderadoes on the one side. and progressistas on the other, have resolved to stand and gaze, while ODonnell and Espartero chiefs of either party-are working their way through the first difficulties of the revived con- stitution. Will the leaders themselves be able to play, at the same time, the part of the will low and the oak-to bend and twist before ad- verse currents and stormy winds, and yet stand firm? ODonnell Is certainly man of no or dnary metal. Three of his brothers perished in the Carlist army, that to which throughout he was himself opposed-nay, his youngest brother the one of all he most loved, was shot at Barcelona by his own soldiers, when pris- oner, as a reprisal. His mother was a ladv of honor to the wife of Don Carlos, and at this time joined her earnest solicitations to those of the Pretender that he would join the legti- mists; and has iron soul stood firm, though it is understood he felt most bitterly the fate of his brother Such man must have something in ui1n, and will do what he has once deternin- ed His exterior is remarkable. Tall and of commanding figure his strongly marked eye 5rows, the steady regard of his eye, his slight ly closed lips, and the width of his chin, an- nounce that no oscillations are to be looked

 con3mands respect also Of middle height. o;xty years of age, at least, but not looking more than fifty, he bears on his lofty forehead, in his black eyes, aod on his lips, turning read.- lv to a smile, mingled appearance of kindness aad frankness and of that courage which h. carries to recklessneSs.

Espartero was of obscure family. He had no other fortune but his sword, and he never dislained his origin; but when gent of Spain, with the order of the Golden fleece on his breast, being surl rised by the visit of his uncle, a contractor of roads, and his two female cousins, who were dressmakers, he received them with that democratic pride which thus gracefully showed itself in the palace of kings There Is nothing certainly in these things to make the count perhaps on the men before us; and yet mems antecedents should gor for some. thing.
 Again
 Spain is still disquited; disputes have arisen between Espartero and ODonnell. The former wishes to get the Queen Mother out of the coun- try as fast as possible, and would allow her to carry her pelf with her. O'Donnell insists up- on making the ibidinous Christina disgorge. Fighting is still going on in Barcelona. Espar- tero some years since lost his chance of power, and of establishing liberal government, through strange want of determination and energy. His respect for royal personages will probably again cause his fall. It would be but just to the Spanish nation, and an act of righteous retribu- tlon, if the infamous Queen Mother were made to restore to the nation the vast sums of which 1t has been robbed by her.
 From Spain there is nothing new, except that Queen Christina is not allowed to leave Madrid. Armed bands are placed along the road to cut off her flight She is not to leave till her fate shall have been decided by the Cortes. I do not believe that any harm is meant her, but she will be made to pay down large sum of money
 The Queen is to be tried for unlawful fnan- clary speculations Here is the charge:
