The Spanish Revolution Prtcate Letter

Happy the nations, it is said, whose annals are
dull France, therefore, at this particular moment,
should be in its utmost plentude OF felicity for not
for ten years past have its annals been so little wor
tby OF record. It's wonderful Emperor the man
who has bound destiny herself to the tails Of his coat
is quietly having himself in the baths Of Plom-
bieres, kissing old women, receiving rosebuds feom
young ones for the little emperor he has left behind
and gaddening the hearts and vanity OF the inhabi-
tants of Plombieres by the architectural improve
ments he is daily decreeing It's beautiful Empress
s shut up in the palace Of st. Cloud, as chaste as
Penelope, forgetting all the world Ia the joys of the
pearl Of great price she has at last found J.. the
temple OF hymen. All the beau monde has deserted
the city par erceilece Of the world; and though the
Bots dc Boogne is still crowded with carriages and
the Port Catalan with pedestrians, the arstocratc
ichor Is wanting-those whose means do not permit
them to resort TO the sea shore or the eaur bonaes
remaining in their houses buried in conventional Sc
clson, to convince mankind that il is from motives
of health and not of wealth that they do not mi
crate with the rest Of the futtering world.
In the midst Of such stagnston, as We cannot
have revolution in Paris it Is some consolation to
have one at Madrid, especially this species Of per-
turbation has wonderful knack OF efectng com
munications, if not speedily extinguished.

optimist view taken of it in the Moniteur, my pri

! have long known that the alliance between ODon
nell and Espar.cro was a hollow one, and that the
former would never be content till he had played the
part Of Narvaez without Narvaez. He is a nan o!
violent temper, who can brook no brother near tn
throne-who, under the mask OF great frankness and
cordiality, copceas most plotting, schemiug, un-
scrupulous spirit and who, during mis- participation
of power With Espartero, has devoted his whole soul
to the purpose Of ingratiating himself with the
army Espartero, with cupable negligence, has,
like the hare gone to sleep the strength Of his
former popularity and now, when q bold front
might have won victory for constitutional freedom
he has neither nerve nor heart to put his head
Of the window II speaks something for Spain that
thus deserted by its chosen leader, the National
tered to the winds in the Provinces stand shoull
be made against despo.isn which the Emperor o.
the French does SO much to render fashionable.
