retaining Queen Isabella. We're she dismissed the
country, there is absolutely nothing to fall back
upon.
AS for her half idiotic uncle, Don Francisco d.
Paula, it would be absurd to think of him or any Of
his children, even comprising the King. The
Duchess de Montpensier, however respected she
may be, has no political party that am aware OF,
even In the city she has long resided In; and, what
is fatal to such pretensions in Spain, her husband
il stranger and . member OF the Orleans family
more than sufficient to exclude him. As for q re-
public it is out of the question Under these cir
cumstances, see nothing for it but TO keep Isabella

county-the adventurers and swtndlers, whose
only emulation was to strive who should plumber

the Queen Mother, and the host Of harpies who
bear the name Of MunOs, transported. In this way
matters may go on for some time, but not for long
for the race OF the Spanish Bourbons is rotten to
the core. The best Of them have been driven from
this country and the worst cannot hope to survive
elsewhere.

Il liz not known for certain where Maria Christia-
ma is. alluded yesterday to . rum0r that abe had
tadel with her daughters ~ they were Fastening to
France. Some accounts will have it that she sue
ceeded in getting to Barcelona, and then sailed for
Mseiles OF ltay Others that she Is still concealed
In Madrid or, ct oil events, that she has not quilted
Spain, and "a write rnmor reaches me that she
has actually arrived at dalmsison. These various
reports are, no doubt, set ad0at by the friends Of
that unhappy lady to divert public attention. After
what has occurred, It is scarcely possible to doubt
the success Of the insurrecti0n, even though the
troops In Madrid should not have frateInized il
rumored they have done, with the people. All the
important towns Of the Peninsula have risen in "a
vor of the movement, and the capital Of Spain has
joined them. The great question now remains as ia
its CONF lDsion. Will Isabella be still kept on the
throne, and, even il Esparter0 be willing to main.

From the London Chronicle July gal
The revolt Of Madrid lays the Spanish government
insulo which has had anything to gain by the sys-
tenn Of mis- ule and corruption practised under the
auspices Of Queen Christina, and any devotion upon
which she might calculate must be sought there
which the ercest hatred Of herself and her second
family il not the dominant sentiment of the popu-
Lace and her escape across the frontier, which will
doubtless be her first object, will not be easily
managed over roads beset ct every point, and
watched by her successful enemies. Her palace
has already been pilaged, and 1t ia made secret
