Insurrection in Spain.
From the London Times of July 8.
AS though it were not enough that the east
ern portion of Europe should be given up to fire
and sword, civil war has broken out once
more in the Spanish Peninsula. 1t would be
premature as yet to offer any confident sugges-
tion as to the scope or extent of this insurrec-
ton, or as to the designs of its chief promoters
and leaders, One thing only is certain-that
never have the depositariesfof power in any Eu-
ropean country since modern history began
sunk lower in the estimation of a people than
Queen Isabella and her minions in the opinion
of the Spanish nation. Every thing in Spain is
prepared, and has long been so, for an outbreak.
Whether the present insurrection is Of char
acter sufficiently important to effect professed
object it is not for us as yet to say Every thing
about both the Government and the Court of
the Spanish Queen has long been rotten and
unsound. 1t would be idle, perhaps, with re-
gard to the bulk of the Spanish people, to speak
of an abuse Of the forms Of liberty. Save in SO
far as it served as a war cry and as an inscrip-
tion upon q banner, the idea of constitution
never had serious hold upon the Spanish name.
De Lolme never wrote for southern nations such
as we see them in our day. When the Constitu-
ton is presented to the Imagination of the Span
ards in the form of beautiful young woman
whom he regards with devotion, or of q stern
ora,o,r bafn o1vbo nil MY In
lard is Constitutionalst He is slow to COM
prehend the nice distinctions upon which we set
SO much store. The Spanish people, if they
are in insurrection. have not risen for an en-
thralled press, for corruption at elections for
the mere exercise of despotic power They re-
quired something far more personal to the honor
and chivalrous sentiment of every individual of
the nation than matters of State policy ere they
would consent to take up arms against the
Throne. Such motive has been found in the
disgusting immortality of the Court. A certain
license has been taken by crowned heads at va
rious epochs Of the history of Europe, but we
question much if at any period of modern his
tory, even in the Courts of Central Germany
at the conclusion of the 18th century, there
was q more thorough and pervading foulness OF
life than has prevailed in the middle of the 10Th
century at the Court of this young Spanish
Queen, who was raised to the throne by the de-
Votion of loyal people. There may be other
reasons thrust forward as the more prominent
causes for this insurrection, but the one which
has added force and vigor to them all has been
the hopeless deprayity Of the Spanish Court.
We are not surprised that these events have
taken place; we may be rather surprised that
they have been SO long deferred. For the last
two or three years the Spanish nation has beer
ripe for insurrection, and, in all probability
the only consideration which has restrained
them from action has been the recollection o.
the evils under which they have so lately
smarted, and the exhaustion of the country
consequent upon a protracted civil war. Be-
sides, it might be very obvious to the mind of q
| Spaniard that such person or such faction
deserve to be swept away, but it was not SO clear
that any public parsonage with whom he was
| acquainted deserved to be set up in his place

by whom not dragooned and oppressed 7 So il
is in Spain, and it is, respects Spain, through
out Europe She has compelled the world tt
despair of her, and the fortunes of n country
which once were of universal interest hav
fallen so utterly in public estimation that few
of the thousands who read the bulletins from
the Danube with the deepest anxiety will think i
worth their while to give more than glance a

is said that body Of the insurgents four thou
sand strong had taken possession of the Camp
del Moro, at the distance of musketshot from
the Palace. The Director of the Artillery
General Campuzano, had refused to advance fo,
the purpose of dispensing them, although HI
protested throughout that the Queen owned n,
more loyal subject. The Spanish Throne is il
evil case, when its most loyal subject refuses t,
draw sword in it's behalf. The garrison, too
of Madrid is not to be depended on-at least
another principal officer has made their pre-
sumed disaffection a reason for declining to TAX
any active steps in support of the Queens au
thority. The report which we have received
goes even further than this, and speaks of
differentiation" between portion of the gar
rison and the insurgents. 1t tells US, too, of
summons addressed to the Queen on the part o
Gen. O'Donnell, desiring her to resign he
crown. A Regency is mentioned of which Mar
vaez should be member, and, if member, thel
the sole chief. In opposition to these rumors
which all come evidently from one source, ther
| IS the poor suggestion, on the other side, tina
the insurgent forces in the field have suffered
defeat, and haye retired upon Toledo. The au
thority for this rumor is the telegraph, whicl
is in the hands of the Government. 1t may n
doubt be true, but it does not come before us il
any way which entities it to any great credit.
