Although the people generally are

who understand what reforms are

dcliverance to the unhappy people.
The restlcssncss OF the people be

During her absence, her admiral, com

O'Connell and Concha, desire Con

a spirit OF respect for the will OF the
people. They ask only Tor some light,
though real concessions to the Cham
bers, as the representative OF the Ma
ton.
The second class arc willing to sub
init to a monarchy. but wish to have 4
government formed some what after
the government of England, with the
House OF Lords left out and the House
of { mmons resting on Universal sut-
trage. This i. the "Progrcssist" party,

long; the latter of whom, the Rev
tionists at Seville, are reported as
having p &C ii ned Pre- ident.
The tn.rd party resist all ideas OF 4
monarchy, and demand a Republican
form of government, resting on Uni
vcrsal suffrage.
Al the parties are now actir s to

standing seems to be that if successful
against the present government, they
will all make concessions, and their
future course, relative to the form OF
government, will be decided by un!vcr.
sal suffrage
In that unhappy, priest-ridden coun-
try, there can hardly be a change for
the worse. The friends Of order, OF the
hnman race, and of popular liberty will
sympathize with this movement, which
ever OF the three objects aimed at
may be attained.
