recrets Of the Turkish Government were, with
the knowledge of Lord Redclife, told both to
Russia and to England. This may account for a
singular mistake mentioned by Ur4uhart in The
Portfolio. The treaty of 164l, obtruded on the
Sutton by the Russians, avowedy without the
knowledge of England, was secretly communi-
Gated to Lord Redclife by the Grand Vlzier, and
the English ambassador was requested to pro-
tect Turkey agains. a negotiation which involved
her ruin, and would finally result in a war. But
10 the surprise Of the Turkish Minister, the iden-
teal draft of the treaty handed by him to Lord
Redchffe uas returned TO the Grand Pisier on the
merit das by the Russian EHbassGdOr, and the Sui
tan signed it, seeing that England and Russia
were actng in concert. Still Lord PamerstOn
denied in Parliament ever to have heard anything
about the treaty before il was published, and up
braided the Turks-of course only in the English
Parksment-for having entered into such disss-
trous negotiation without the knowledge of En-
gland.
The subscriptions for the Austrian voluntary
loan have reached the sum Of 400, 900, 900 6Orins
and the Austrian official papers are triumphant
ut such a result and dream Of great financial
prosperity. do not understand their reasoning,
since / cannot conceive that the finances of
state can be improved by borrowing money in
order to pay the former creditors; so much the
more as it is the unfanded debt, paying no inter
est, which is to be cancelled by loan on which
10000, 600 forms are TO be paid yearly The
annual interest on the national debt will amount
in future to 81, 600, 900 forms, or to l3 per cent
Of the net income Of the State, Of which the
regular army expenses alsO absorb 80 per cent
What deplorable condition Still, all the con-
tinental powers of Europe, with the exception of
Switzerland, Sweden and Norway, are involved
in similar financial difficulties. Prussia and
Piedmont are somewhat better Off still, the
penditure even there is every year greater than
the income, and, to make use of very happy
phrase Of the Roman Papal budget, there is
everywhere surplus Of expenditure ODer the
income.
The Marquis of Albaide, in Spain, and his
Club of the Union, have taken the right course, |
without which Spain and the southern portions of |
Europe never can become free. He advocates |
full freedom of conscience, of the press, aud Of |
speech. No religious intolerance whatever is to
find its expression in the new Constitution, no
dominant religion whateveris is to be acknowledged
Should he succeed in this respect, even Spain can
still be regenerated. The Juntas acting under
the advice of the Union Club, practically enforce
the doctrines of the Marquis of Albaide, and are
e1pelliDg the monks who live on public charity, |
a. for instance at TOrtosa and Saragossa. Youwill |
perhaps remember that in the town of Valencia
enc third OF the entire male population belong to
the Roman Catholic priesthood, and live in celib'
acy, in sn unproductive way on the labor of the
community. Indeed, it is scarcely conceivable
how Spain could maintain herself so long under
such clerical system. l need not say that free
dom Of conscience means in Spain the curtailing
Of the privileges of the Roman Catholic priest
hood, without which religious equality cannot be
maintained. The Duchess of Rianzares, or Queen /
Christina is still hidden in the palace, and remains
the greatest difficulty of the Ministry. Espsrtero
does not wish to have her tried by the Cortes, |
and dares not connive at her fight TO France or
England. Her riches make her the most formi- |
dsble enemy of the present state of Spain.
O'Donnell already begins to show some opposi-
tion again Espartero, and change of Ministers is
soon to take place.
In expectation of the progress of the revolu-
ton, the Ministers of the epoch from lS43 to
1854 have been frightened out of their wits, and
are fleeing to France; even Calderon de la Bsrca
has found il advisable to emgrate. Narvscz took
passport, which was readily granted to the
once almighty dictator who even now remains
most dangerous person, whatever side he may
take. But the terror which has seized one por-
ticn Of the Spanish arstocracy and the busy
Nederado politicians, who only lately were so fu.
riously prosecuting the Liberals that they got the
nickname Of Moderados Fnriosos, extends even
10 the English and French Governments. A
Queen before the bar is for them one Of those
enorwities which cannot be endured in monarch
