over them. They have not known how TO cse their
victory but they have learned much in bali 9 cen-

fresh in their minds of the manner in which they
were defrauded of the fruits Of their
triumph in 1854. They are ready nov.
net merely for the struggle, but for tho
measures to be adopted after the struggle
is over. They have signed, beforehand-a their
leaders and chief patriots in all the provinces-the
paper which send you. They are all agreed upon
these bases for the future government, and there
will be no yacllation, no debate this time about
what is to be done but action, action; and there is
little doubt that this year will not pass BY without
giving US the experiment of respectable reputh-
can government in Spain.
The present moment is to the last degree inter
estng to the spectator Of Spanish politics. and preg

| the people, there are also two other formidable
conspiraces or secret organizations on foot-one at
the head of which is ODonnell, with the greater
portion of the army and very respectable follow

utterly dsgusted with the present dynasty and Do.

people FIRST mentioned, and which would inevitably
iske the game out Of the hands OF thee m,Gnstes

way Of constructing the new government. The
other principal organization is that OF the fsl-

sen of Don Carlos, and heir to bis pretensons to
the Spanish throne Though in the present chaotic
slate Of politics, when the disbursement OF their

Of all parties il is natural Csrsts should be moving
and closing up their files for action, in tho hope
something may fall to their share; still they have

Tie time of the power Of the Clergy and the Kirg,
by divine right, has already passed away in Spain
never to return.
The Queen and Court leave Madrid this after
nc on for ArsDjuez TO pass the Spring at that royal
seat. For some time past vague rumor has cir
culatec that something would happen at Arspjuez-
that the Queen would go, but that she never would
return. Even the servants and officers Of the
palace have manifested the greatest reluctance 10

Queen to AIapjuez-every possible excuse has been
laid hold Of TO avoid going Sill, lave fesson to
suppo,e that neither of the three great organize
tions, Of which / have spoken, has anything to DO
with this business. They are all rather inclined to
atch the motions Of each other and reluctant to
be Gin the game for which all are prepared, and
which sny unforeseen event would now precip-
tate; bat the result of which neither sees suff-
centIy clear in their own favor to wish to take the
first step. The people gain most by the delay, and
10 every way the probabilities are greatest in
Il cir favor. Meantime the event expected so gen.
