uADRIp Jane 4, 1858
There happens IN no country const.a ionaIly
governed what takes plsse 10 S,ain, where the
royal preroga.ive controls the viii of the Psrlia-
mert. The virtual acton of the Parli.msut is in
complete ncompatibibty with the Government;
that is to ssy, with the Governments which are
formed and follow each oher at present in Spain
Thus il 10 tba! we zee Ministries fall with ms 1rty
in the Coites. That very majority is unable TO
form Ministry; and, what is stranger stll We
see Ministries sustain themselves which proceed
entirely or in part from tie minority. In tais way
10 criterion can be formed 10 Judge Of the Vitality
OF the Cabinets; and Oh this account he most ao-
.urd rumors are spread among the people oI
chspgss without motive, aOd Of improbable rises
10 power. All tho Liberals expect now political
change favorable to the Progresistds; but this ls
not probable, iDasmuch as the Queen has no lnten-
ton of liberazing the gubernatiye regimen IN spite
of the exigences Of public opinion and of tue Ne
cessy there is of restoring 10 the Parliament the
reality of ts functions and the political supremacy
which corresponds To IT.
Tie Influences which surround the throne, far
from being liberal or even moderate, are restrictive
absolutist. The Government does not participate

enough: NaTseZ, because he has not the strength
he boasts of, nor the plianey which is demaadet oi
him; AID Armero, because il is suspcc I'd that he
is Liberal at heart and in principles. For these
reasons il is PROBATE that the political change, which
has been ed for some time 10 take place on
the return Of the Queen, aill not De Liberal; II i
very probable that it Will be reachonary, with a.
the conse quences attending it-among them the out

the Court see its danger tiae and tase the oppo
