A though not enough that the eastern portion OF
Furone sbould be given up fire and sword civil war
has broken out in the Spanish peninsula II
would be premature yet to offer any confident sugges
tons as to the scope extent of this nurecon or as 10
the designs of its chief promoters and leaders One thing
only certan-that have the deposaries OF power
In sny European country since modern history began sunk
lower III the estimation of people than queen lsHDeHa
and her minions in the opinion OF the Spanish nation
Everything in Spain prepared and has long been so Tor
an outbreak.
fceny important effect its proessed object II Is not
for us as yet 10 say Everything about both the Govern
ment and the Court OF the Spanish Queen has long been
rotten and unsonnd 1t would be idle, perhaps with re-
gard the bulk of the Spanish people to speak OF an
abuse of the forms of liberty Save IN so far as served
as warcry and an inscription upon banner the idea
of constitution had serious hold
upon the Spanish name. De Lolme never wrote for
southern nations such as we see them in our day.
When the Constitution is presented To the Imagination
of the Spaniard in the form OF beautiful young woman
whom he regards with Devotion of stern warrior be-
alist He is slow TO comprehend the nice distinctions
upon which set much store. The Spanish people II
they in insurrectien have not risen % an enlhraeu
press for corruption at elections or for the mere exercise
of despotic power. They required something iar more
personal the honor and chivarous sentiment o every
individual of the nation than matters OF Ntate pocv ere
bev would 10 take mp arms against me throne
Such motive has been found IN the disgusting lmnoraIy
of the our certain license has been taken by crowned
heads al various epoehs OF the history o Europe os We
question much ia any period ofmodern history even IN me
Courts of Central Germany at the conclusion oi the
cepturv-there was thorough and peryadng foul
ness Of life than has prevailed in the middle OF the lstn
century AT the Court of this Young Spanish Queen who
was raised to the throne by the devotion OF loyal people
There may be other thrust forward a. the more
prominent causes for this nsurecton but the one winch
has added force and ygor them all has been the hope
less deprayity of the Spanish Court 49,. 81.

dav This or that particular event may be mrepresenied
but one fact is ubundantly cesrihat armed instruction
exists in Madrid and in the provinces and tha the Coy

Madrid iise-at the principal seat OF Government wnere
as NAV reasonably be supposed the advisers OF the sen
Cont had gathered together the troops upon whom they
