SPAIN.
From Our Own Correspondent

MADRID, May 81 100.
The course of politics in these last two years has
demonstrated the absolute imPOssb!llty In which
the Moderado party finds itselfto give strong and
liberal Government to Spain. In order to govern
there must be life and the Moderate party does not
possess it. This party has subdivided itself iato
mapy fractions, ard the shades which these icac-
tons represent in politics are manifold; bus none
of them is liberal in the true acceptaton OF the
word. The actual Government, some wish to sup
pose is one Of liberal ideas; and the fact of the
matter is it is utterly devoid of them, as is clearly
shown by the acts and dispositions OF each depart
ment The present relations with the Court OF
Rome, the influence of the Nuncio of his Holiness
in all the affairs of the State, and the ascendency
which his indications and counsels have acquired
over the mind of the Queen, joined to the restitution
to the clergy of their unsold property, which it
seems will be done by royal decree, prove the
contrary of what some pretend to say with respect
to the liberal system of the lsturitz Cabinet. The
Legislature of 1855 being declared terminated after
the suspension Of the sessions Of the COrtes, these
will not be cOnvoked anew, at least by this Minis
try till the month of December. Among the more
important subjects that have been lett undlscussed
and without being. approved by the Senate and
Congress, may be recokened the Budget tor the
present year. the project for the restitution OF the
property as yet unsOld to the clergy and the pro-
iect OF the railway to France by Navarro and the
Aduid, This last project, presented to the Cortes
by the Minister of Public Works, has been one OF
the principal motives for the Suspension OF the
sessions and termination OF the present Legislature
An immense maturity Presented itself hostile to the
project Of the Navarro Minister, and the whole
political press strongly attacked il, the Government
having a minority OF the votes in the naming of the
Commission. The Alduds are in the PyreRees the
strongest barriers that separate France from Span
and, tor the general interests Of the nation, this
inaccessible barrier, extending for more than thirty
leagues between the two countries, should be pre-
served without the slightest communication.
One of the Deputies, who most strongly opposed
this project, is Sr. POsada Herrera, named
few days ago Minister of the Interior in place of
ST. Diaz Of the NeO-CathOlic ideas, who re-
signed by wish of his political chief ST. Bravo
Murillo President of the COrtes, and who is known
to all as author of the Reform bill OF 1872, tending
to make the throne absolute.
The majority of the Congress who showed them
selves so propllOus to Sr. Murilo on his being
named President, have almost all of them deserted
his interests and they now recrmlnate him Tor the
bunders they imagine he has committed on the
reglamentary question which the President himself
moved in the penultimate sessions Several Depu.
ties having Government empoyments voted against
the rulirg of the Pretident aud on this account
Sr. Diaz, Minister of the Interior at that tlme
demanded the dismissal of these Deputies from
their employ ments. The Council OF Ministers did
not deem it convenient to dismiss them, and Sr
Disz immediately presented his resignation, which
the Queen c0unseed by Sr. lstnritz accepted.
Gen. Narydez had an audience of the Queen
four days ago. and as the interview rather long,
his partsans have spread the report that he was
about to rsassume the Presidency OF the Council,
and to form q Cabinet. There is not the least
probability that this will take place. as the Queen
although it is true some time ago she thought Of
calling him again, is not likely to do now, since
she considers him the chief OF the party who are
seek ~ ~ bring about fusion Of the rival branches
of the Royal family in the interest of the Carllst
pretender. The actual Government will continue
IN power only short tlme it has no stability, and
there is discOrd among its individuals. But
Sr. Isturitz, who always shows himself very gal
liant and obging toward the Queen, is sure OF this
lady's confidence in him.
The English ambassador continues his attentions
and friendship with the chiefs of the Democratic
party.
I be French ambassador does not possess all the
influence he coyets in some of the affairs OF state,
but has frequent interviews with the Queen.
The Spanish Crtia MoJd,tr is carrying on with
great activity aud expedition the works OF the Rail
way of the North and is treating with the Province
of GuipuZcOa for the construction OF that portion
OF il which is the last part OF it, in order to
meet il with the road from Bayonne to the frontier.
Its shares nevertheless experience loss OF ten
per cent in the quotation of the market. The rail-
way from Seville 10 CordOya is going on rather
slowly. The other affairs OF this company are COM
pleeiy at a stand-stll.
The voyage Of the Queen to Alicant and Yalen
ca, which will take lace the 2ith or 18th inst,
seems to be 10y stery TO some and an amusement
to others. The large number of horses, coaches
and servants who left Aranjuez for Ahcant
seem to indicate something more than a
mere journey Of pleasure for only eight days
In that port there now lying at anchor close to
the Spanish fleet two French men-of-war which the
Emperor has sent TO increase the number of ships
forming the guard of honor The Minister of Ma
rine will guide the helm of the ship Francisco de
ASS, in which the Queen will sail from Alicant to
Valencia.
In The employmcnts of the Palace il seems that
some innovations going to take place. Ii ia said
that the Marquis of Santa Isabel favored By the
King, will leave off being Intendant of the Palace
The Queen will return to Madrid on the 4th or 9th
Of June. The Ncslyarist Generals are in high
spirits since the ball at AraDjerez, given on the
night of the 18th.
