Who will be King Of Spain Young
Turkey and the Eastern
Question,

Though the matter has been kept very quiet,
t is quite true, says the Pdt MAJ Gazette, thaE
there have been lately disturbances among the
Students at ST. Cyr, to which some persons
attribute o good deal of Importance. The
Emperor bad invited certain number of young
men 10 the reunions at CompeigDe; this alten'
ton was not well received, and few days ago,
as the Governor OF 81. Cyr General GoudTecourt,
v as returning to his residence q Yery co gardly
assault was committed on him by some OF the
students, who lett him, 1t Is sald, much injured
and almost UNCONSCIOUS. 1t is not s.a,ed
whether the General has been able to identify
his assailan.s; but Whatever the motive OF the
no one can justify the manner
OF carry ing 1t out,
The Spanish Throne.
Madrid tDec. 81 Correspondence Of London Times.
If there were in the Government press any
power 10 IeassUre public opinion, we might look
forward to the close Of the Spanish revolution
as speedily approaching. The ColTespondencid
and other papers, whose editors are said to have
iIee access 10 the antechambers of the min sters'
Offices, assure us that the 5th of Jaouary has
been appointed as the day for the general cleo
tious, and that the Constituent C0rteJ will be
called together on the l5th or at the latest the
20th, OF the same month. IL has also
been confidently aesered-sO confidently
rs TO leave no doubt III the minds OF tue
most skeptical-that the decree which Is to con-
firm all these expectations will appear IN the
Madrid Gdsepe OF this morning. aud will thus
be in my hands within two or three hours be-
fore the closing of ths nail. Tne same semi
official organe-bscked by the more independent
Epood-aIeeslso sure that Immediately upon the
preliminary organization of the Constituent
Assembly being accomplished the questions
respecting the form OF government and The
choice OF the head OF the State will be sub
mitted to the represeni atives OF the nation,
30 that before the termination of the month
OF February Spain Will know TO what new
destlnies sne will have 10 accommodate her
self. On the other hand, 1t is also stated
that the members of the provisional goV-
eminent have maturely dehbetnted on the ex.
pediency OF coming to iull and fiual under
stan0ing between them with respect to the
candidate whom they are uDanimously to
present to the country as The future sovereign;
and, moreover, tnat they have actuaiy come
to that understanding, that they really have the
king elect IN peao and that although, OF
course, the acceptance or refusal of their pro-
pCsal must lie with the free vote Of the Cortes,
still the Government is bent upon exeriing all
its influence, 10th on the elections aud on the
deliberations OF the Assembly, So far to insure
the success of what seems to the Government
itself the only plausible scheme.
If all this were true. and IL we were to believe,
as It would seem natural, that SerTano and the
other Unionist me mbers OF the Cabinet abide by
their original eDgaeements to tayor the intere ts
OF the Duke OF Moptpensier we should have to
come 10 the conclusion that they have lately
their views, as the latter were up to
very recent period supposed to be bent
upon the promotion of the eXKing of
Portugal, Don Fernando. As Prim had in a
rauda, one Of the writers of the Gdu'ols,
declared that the exclusion Of the Bourbons
from the throne of spain must be considered as
debIitIve and perpetual, aud that, Tor his own
part, he woula have no band in any act which
might amount to a reversal OF that sentence, SO
efforts are now made to limit the sense OF that
declaration by saying that PRINTS objections
"only concerned the ex.Queen and ner de-
tcendants." As the notion that Prim could
cast his lot with the Carlists could spring
up in no mans head, the evident con-
ciusion is tnat the General did not wish
his ostracism TO involve the Inauta Maria
Louisa, Duchess OF Montpensier, in the fate of
her sister. As 10 the Infanta's husband, the
Duke OF Montpensier himself, his paItisans have
not Bourbon" an assertion which, TO make IL
clear 10 English readers, would BE- tantamount
to saying that the Legitimate descendants OF the
Duke OF Edinburgh could at any time cease to
be Guelphs; simply because IAN Edinburgh is
not Guelph"
To my mind one or two things are, at
all events, perfectly clear. In the first
place, that the sphere OF possible candidates
to The Spanish throne which at first
seemed to spread TO the utmost limits OF the
Afndndch de Gotha, has within two short
months beer reduced 10 those two rivals now
both domiciled at Lisbon and that OF the two
only one eViDces any eagaIDess for the intended
honor or, indeed, may in the last extremity be
relied upon not to refuse 1t. Ia the second
place, that whatever the government or any
party may propose, II will ultimately be for the
nstiCD TO dispose, ana that there Is Just now
fufficent perI erseness and righteousness among
the Spanish people to enable those who would
fain have no king to cry down any king.

The Bucharest Ndr0dRoSt. the Bulgarian paper
in the French interest which laoored 50 hard to
write up the Bulgarian rebellion, contains a
remarkable letter from the chief OF the young
Turkey party, zia Bey, nov living at Paris. In
it the late Minister OF Justice and Secretary of
The Sui'an addresses the Buigarians, telling
them that he and his Ottoman friends OF liberal
politics, TO insure the triumph Of lber prInci-
Piles, count upon the active support of all hon.
oraole men in the empire, irrespective OF race
or creed. He asserts:-
