THE SPANISH RETOLUTIOM.
Manifesto Of the cx-Queen-P rotest
Agnins. the Revolution.
The following is copy OF the protest which
the ex-Queen Isabella addressed to the Spar
ish nation, as reported in our cable kilograms :
To the SodnidrdS:-A cons, Tracy, Of which
there does not exist, so to speak: any example
among other nations Of Europe, has precipIta-
ted Spain into the horrors OF anarchy. The
land and naval forces, which the country sup
ported gener ously, and whose services have
always been ready to recompense, forgetting
glorious traditions and violating the most
sacred oaths, turn round against the nation
and prepare for it o period OF mourning and
desolati1n. The shouts OF the rebels raised In
the bay OF Cadlz and re-echoed in tew pro-
vinces by portion of the army, resounded IN
the hearts OF the immense majority OF SPAN
iards as the first murmurings OF an approach
ing tempest which places in peril the lntor-
ests of religion, the ancient laws OF iegltl-
macy and of right ami the lndepen-
dence and honor Of Spain. The lamenta6lc
series of defections, the acts OF incredible
disloyalty which have occurred IN so short
space of time, wound my pride as Spaniard
still more than my dignity as Queen. Let not
the great foes Of authority themselves, IN tEclr
insensate dreams, think that the public power
which emanat from so lofty source can pc
conferred, modified or suppressed by the inter
yention of material force acting under the
blind impulse Of debauched army. Il the
towns and Tue raral districts, ceding to the
first impression of violence, submit TOR mo-
ment to the yoke of the insurgents, soon will
the public sentiment, wounded ~ all 1t hoids
most noble and dear, reassert itself II order 10
show to the world that, thanks to heaven,
rary in Spain. Until that period arrives, !, as
legitimate Queen, have, after consideration,
aud taking serious counsel, deemed right 10
seek in the States of an august ally the securl-
ty necessary to act in this difficult conjunc-
ture as becomes my position as monarch,
and the duty devolving on me OF transmitting
intact to my son my rights protected by tho
law, recognized and sworn to by the nation,
and, finally, strengthened by thirty-iive years
OF sacrifices, yicissitudes and tender alice
ton. While entering upon foreign soil my
heart and eyes necessarily turned towards that
which is mine and my chlldren's country. l
hasten to draw up nv explicit and solemn pro-
test, before God and man, declaring that the
superior force to which l yield IN quitting my
kingdom cannot prejudice my rights in their
any degree; neither eau they be affected i'll the
slightest manner by the acts of the revolution
ary government, aud still less by the resolu-
tions OF the assemblies which will be formed
necessarily under the pressure OF demago9lc
fury and under conditions OF manifest violence
over the peoples consciences and wishes. Our
fathers sustained long and successful struS-
gle on behalf of the religious faith and the IN
dependence of SPAN. The present generation
has labored without relaxation in order to con-
meet all that was great and heroic in past ages
with the seeds of what is healthy and fruitful
in modern times. The revolution, the i'm
placable enemy Of traditions and legitimate
progress, oppose every principe wLch con-
stitutes the living force, the sou! and the man
hood of the Spanish nation. Liberty, in its
uubuunded expansion and in al Its manitesta-
tions. attacking Catholic unity, monarchy and
the legal exercise OF authority, disturbs fami-
lies, destroys the sacredness OF the domestic
hearth, and extinguishes virtue and patriotism.
II fyou think that the crown OF Spain. worn
bv q Queen who has had the good fortune to
associate her name with the political and So
cial regeneration of the State, is the symbol Of
. those tntelary principles, remain faithful as
hope you will, to your oaths and your conyc-
tions; allow to pass over as scomge this reYo-
lutionary vortex in which ingratitudc, felony
and ambition are acting, and continue i'll the
assurance that shall neglect nothing in Or
der to hold in safety even during misfortune,
that emblem without which there is not for
Spain either memory to attract or ahope to
support her. The insane pride OF few men
agitates and, for the moment, overwhelms the
entire nation, produces perturbation III COZ
sciences aud anarchy IN society. In my heart
there does not exist even any room for hatred
of this small faction. I should fear tLat by
contact with so despicable sentiment the
profound tenderness might be weakened which
feel for the loyal men who have exposed their
lives and shed their blood in defence OF the
throne and of public order, aud for all Span
iards WHO look on with sorrow and alright at
the spectacle oil triumphant lnsurrecuop,
which is a shameful page IN the history OF our
civilization. In the noble country whence I
now address You, and wherever 1 may be. l
shall support without encouragement the mis-
fortunes of my well-beloved Spain, which are
also mine. If had nothing else to sustain
me-among many other examples-than that
OF the most venerable OF Soverelgns, the model
of resignation and courage, be also environed
with trbulations and bitter enemies, should
find strength in the loyalty OF my subjects,
the justice OF my canse, and, above all III the
power of Him who holds III His hant the fate
of empires.
The Spanish monarchy, after fifteen centu-
ries of struggles, victories, pltrlotsm and
greatness, cannot succumb III fifteen days OF
broken oaths, uLfaithfulneSs aud treason. Let
us have faith in the future; the glory Of the
Spanish people has been always that OF lis
kings; the mlsioftunes of the latter have ever
been shared in by the nation. In the resoluto
and patriotic desire to maintain right, lcgltl.
mltism and honor, your minds and efforts vii
always be in accord with the energetic decision
and maternal affection OF your Queen.

Ouatre at Pau, where everything was prepared
and ready to receive her. She occupies the
