4. spain q Russian Movement.
1t would appear by the last vice, from Me-
drid that the insure tiona movement In
Spain. so far from bel & quei IL gra iuaily
gaining strength. The gar ison nd population
Of Barcelona ave pr u ced In avor Of the
insurgents, and it is p oh BILE t the whole Of
the province Of Catalonia will fllow its exam
pie. Here e ext ting vernment have most
danger to apprehend, az, owing to its CONT
guilty to the Fyen frontier, on which large
bodies of Carlst exiles have long been concen-
trating themselves In expectation OF an out
break, it may be considered the focus Of the
revolutionary element Notwithstanding the
efforts Of the authorities to suppress the truth
by severe measures Of repression against the
opposition journals, we shall in all probability
receive by the next steamer further accounts Of
the progress Of the insurrection towards the
sonth-the direction which, owing to the facli-
ties Of communication with the coast, all such
movements usually take.
From the declarations Of the insurgcnt lead
ers, who profess that the object Of the revolt is
merely to free the Queen from the ascendancy
OF deepicable camarilla, it may be thought
by those who are unacquainted with the
present condition of Spain, and the state Of
hopeless disorder into which its political
and lnaocial affairs have fallen, That the
movement is an independent one original
ing with the progresistas, and having no
reference to external Influences. Such, how
ever, is far from being the fact. The coloring
ofloyalty given to it has only been assumed for
present purposes, the real object in view being
the compulsory abdication or dethronement of
Queen Isabella and the substitution of the
Conoe de Montemolin. Bnt even this project
is subsidiary to the designs which have given
vitality and strength to the insurrection, and
which would not even hesitate to ignore the
claims Of the latter, II those Of the Due de
MoD'pensier and his wife should prove more
acceptable to the nation. From private infor-
nation that has reached us we have the strong
est grounds for believing that in its origin,
progress and Interior Objects the movement is
essentially a Russian one, having from its earli-
est stages up to the prese mt time been projected
stimulated and encouraged by Muscovite agents
and Muscovite gold, as a sort Of counter-check
to the action Of France in other quarters 1t is
now about six months since the activity of
Russian emissaries in the Peninsula began to
excite the remarks of the watchfhl correspond
ents Of the English and American press; but,
strange to say, the Spanish government
paid no attention to the repeated
warnings that it received, but Numbered
Oh in all the confidence of a blind security. 1t
will now discover, to Its cost, that its openly
manifested partialities in favor of the coalition
for the purpose of obtaining its aid in the pro-
lection of it's colonial possessions, will only
have had the effect Of lighting the flames OF
civil discord at home, and, in all probabilit..
Of endangering the very object for which it
has incurred 80 much risk.
1t il SO obviously the policy Of the Gar to
endeavor to distract and divide the attention
of his adversaries from the steady prosecution
of The plans by which his political influence
is menaced, that til surprising that the dangers
arising from the intrines Of his agents In the
Peninsula should go long have escaped the
attention, not only of the Spanish government,
but Of that astute ruler whose watchfnl eye
seems to be directed to every doubtful 81 mptom
in the political horizon. One Of his greatest
perils will, in oil probability, arise in this
quarter. The great bug-bcar Of legitimacy
that disturbed the brief intervals of repcse
which the active mind Of his uncle allowed
itself, win be again put in action TO endan.er
the tranquil possession, and, if poss bic, the
stability Of Louis Napoleon's hardly earned
power. Simultaneously with her efforts to
break up the coalition, by crushing the
power Of Austria on her own soil, all
the action OF Russia viii be directed
to the consummation of her long meditated
scheme Of replacing Bourbon prince on the
throne Of Spain. In no way could he more ef-
fectually emcarrass and annoy the French Em-
peror, or secure to himself valuable ally in
case the fortune Of war should enable him TO
push his armies across the Rhine.
In this state of things 1t is evident that nc
need not put ourselves to any immediate trou-
bic or Inconvenience with regard to the pur-
chase or iorcible seizure Of Cuba. In the event
of this so-Spanish movement succeeding, it
viii fall easily and naturally into our hands.
Carlst government can no longer count upon
the sy mpathy or aid Of the Western Powers,
and the Gar il too anxious to secure the heu-
trality, If not the good feeling, Of this country,
not to render him DESTROYS Of conciliating US by
counselling the ceesion to us Of this trouble
some dependency of Spain. We must not,
therefore, be in q hurry to throw away our
money for purchase which may so soon come
begging to our DOORS Let ne profit by the
mo,al of the Gadsden treaty, and await pa
ticntly the course of events.
