doubtful. Within the week there have been seizures
made of Carlists at the capital itself, and at the
same time, with views widely different, and objects
avowedly opposite the republicans have also issued
handblls Of encouragement to the liberal party Of
the country.
In the midst of these kndlings to strife has ap-
peared letter from Don Jose de Olozaga, to the
electors Of Abacete, declining to be candidate to
the Cores unwilling, he says"to expose his friends
TO persecution, advising them to retire from con-
test where victory is net possible in spite Of num-
bers" Had the language been that of the brother,
the Minister of the liberal party at Paris-recalled
with the downfall of Espartero-it could not have
been more eloquent, delivered to better effect.
Taking part in these struggles we aid them rotir-

II Is impossible TO foresee the end TO which we are
approachingpOssibly to the prejudice Of the THRONE
may be the ascendency through fire and blood of q
republican party. And yet In this holy week the
Queen has walked on foot with her maids Of honor
, h streets both narrow and broad. showing
seemingly exposed TO personal danger and perhaps
without thought Of it, the women adnring the
beauty Of her dress and the men in their gailantry
declaring that she was guapa. But who would be
80 foul a. to raise riot in holy week? No cavaYero
no Spaniard. One of the journals in q philoso-
phical turn the while, thus reasons aloud to itself:
The life Of absolute kings is iaborous and agtated.
that of constitutional ones is easy, tranquil
and secure. The undertaking of an abso-
lutte monarch to bear upon his shoulders
the weight of governing people is task
gigantic he may be- The task of constitutional
king is 30 right that any one may go on with it
having thoughts Of rectitude and feelings of good
intentions"
The schooner steamer Santa Teresa, which, as /

Spain has), and remarkable the first that has been

The last returns from Manila show that the gu
gar OF that island in the last year has brought
higher price than ever IL was known to have done
before. The exports had doubled in fourteen years.
The income from the customs in 1867 amounted tn
$66 09 or say $l55 900 more than that of the year

not there yet been felt.
The Spanish government having issued orders to
permit the landing of a. many az 900 Chinese i'm

augmented at Macao as TO have attracted the atten-

lists, to remain there for an indefinite time;
and that consequently the Minister requested
the Consul not TO allow the passage OF any Chi

American vessels. The Consul, IL seems, haa
courteously responded that he can do no less than

the Peninsula very many years. has fought with
them in the war Of succession; speaks their Ian

heavy sums have been handed over for the use OF
the poor, by this patron Of the arts and familiar
friend Of gentlemen of letters. With these great
advantages II has been observed, with pain, that
he has been without influence In the Court equal tn
