The Gathering Cloud, i'm Spain

Private letters from Madrid say: ave are
which precedes the most fearful tempest"
The tyranny of the Queens government add
ed to that of the Church, has brought on this
fearful aspect of affairs, and it is possible that
both may be swept away in a revolution as
fearful and bloody as that of France seventy
five years ago. Meantime, the following letter
from the Infante of Spain-heir to the throne
addressed to La France, will be read with
interest:
PARIS, February, %.
I'm your number of the 18th February last
read a letter from Spain relative to the royal
family and in which find the following phrase
referring to myself: AS to the Infante Don En-
rico, the only one whose absence has hitherto
been remarked and regretted, he is said to be
about to resume his post of honor by the side
of the Queen I must declare that assertion
to be without foundation. Faithful to the
principles of liberty which have protested all
my life, L cannot admit that my place of honor
at the present moment can be where illustri-
GUS Spaniards have been victims of most vio-
lent reaction, and where regime of terror and
prescription has replaced the most essential
sacred rights and guarantees of the constitu-
ton. Ihave left Spain determined to sacrifice
everything, even the future of my children,
and live abroad, poor and forgotten in my re-
tirement, rather than by my appearance at
Madrid appear to approve of acts SO deplorable.
In the meantime, until that situation, SO pain
ful for my country, shall have ended, it is in
France, generous and hOspitable nation,
that my post of honor is at present to be found.

Illustrative Story.

A correspondent of the Boston AdyertiseT
tells the following story of Holly Springs, the
place down in Mississippi where men do con-
gregate to recreate and drink-the waters OF
something stronger:
Not long since a railway train was passing
through that noted place; man whom we
General Sheridan and staff were in the last
car. While the train stood there, X. saw
man rise quietly from his seat, go back, look
about little and then stOOp down and draw
out the pin from the coupling, then he came as
quietly back again; presently the cars started
dtt out the last, but the rope being connected
still, pulled violently and finally broke, of
course causing the engineer to stop. The train
backed, the pin was put in, the rope knotted
and the train went on.
But curious scene presented itself in this
second car. Two-thirds of the men in the car
rose at once to their feet with oaths and impre-
cations. Fool. why didn't you cut the rope
If we only could have left those men behind,
they'd have settled them. No need of delay;
by the time they found out where they were
and came to look for them they wouldn't have
found piece of them to show"
x: looked on both interested and instructed
by this exhibition of loyalty but took good care
not to state his sentiments at any length until
he was on safe ground. He deferred also until
the same good time the public declaration of
his opinion that the reconstruction bill was the
only salvation for which all good men and true
were devoutly praying.

The Pail Mall Gazette says: "We regret to

In the French Corps Legislatif, the Presi-

laws is abolished. The amount of fine which
