The New SPANISH CoNsTITUTIoE.-NEW
MOVE ON SPAIN.-The new constitution sub
United to the Spanish Chambers, is said by
the New York Herald to be strkingly dem
ocratic in its character its essential features
being liberty of conscience and of the press;
establishment of the national guard; annual
meetings of the Cortes; abolition of coDfsca-
ton and capital punishment for political of
fences; subsection of the army to the control
of the representatives of the people, and the
right of the Cortes in case Of need to appoint
a regent for the kingdom. 1t is assuredly
difficult, the Herald justly observes, to con
ceive monarchieal constitution more repub.
lean in its character than this.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American, says that de-
mand is to be made by the U. S. Government
upon that of Spain. such as she never has
complied with, and probably never will un
til compelled by superior force-a surrender,
or what may be considered the point of honor,
namely, an apology and reparation for Sights
and insults to our flag. The writer predicts
that, in view Of the rejection of our demands,
war message will be sent to Congres s
during the present session, asking authority,
together with the means to support the repre-
sensations which Mr.. Breck enridge will be
instructed to make.
