CADIz, Nov. 90 1868
presume that no one who has been so fortunate
as to read the spanish State papers, proclamations
orations and forms OF the present day can have
overlooked the eloquent illusions to ''the initiation
Of the glorious revelation in the bay OF Cadizn and
the heroic marines who so bravely and 80 blood
lcssy. 1t may be added inaugurated the grand move
ment The bay OF Cadiz viii undoubtedly furnish
hereafter themes enough for the poetic and oraori
cal talent OF spain, whose gushing patriotism and
liberal sentiments must ind vent In the musical
vowel-ending verse and the stately and Opaque
prose- Here was seen the beginning OF the revou-
ton whose end 10 as uncertain as anything
on earth can be. Thus far 1t has been good thing
to dwell upon the event In this grand bay, because
the drit OF AFFAIRS has taken direction likely to re-
suit In giving Increased liberty and happiness to the
people. TO be sure the interests Of the people
weighed very little among the causes that induced
the feeble leaders to strike the first blow. The peo-
pie were an element that did not seem to enter Into
the problem at all and 1t was only when they OBJ
taned arms and organized that the leaders dreamed
that the nation was made up Of anything else than
themselves, the army and the navy. II has al
ways been the army that carried on previous
revolutions, and why should 1t not prove
80 this timer Therein was the mistake
OF Montpensicr, Serrano, Prim and company,
and when they saw the people moving with
q clear design TO look after their own interests oil
their little schemes OF personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
had to be changed and perhaps, entirely given up.

selfformed government has grown weaker and less
respected. What might have been done In the early
days In establishing q new monarchy cannot be
done now. These Andalusians are sturdy race,
bold, brave, full OF resources and determined TO
keep whatever they gain Of liberty In the present
contest They Tariake OF none OF those feeble
and vascinatlng qualities Of the mummy
like inhabitants OF CASTLE, where tobacco
smoke tue dry ar OF the region and con.
stitutonal lazlHess combine to debilitate the
BODY and en- eebie the mind and prepare them for q
blessed government such as the exQueen gave them
or that Aontpensier could oner them. The Andalu-
slams ana Galatians are made up o much better stun
than those peOp ABOUT the capital and IL II among
these provinces that the love OF independence and
liberty has deepest ro0s The regeneration OF spain
must receive as trst Impulse from the South. II
has no great vitality IN The provinces OF CASTLE,
N II has the great promoters oil the cause the leaders
who have the co fdence OF the masses, are quickly
them a snug ouce which completely changes
their convictions and carries them into the
actlondy or Pdn camp. IL Is perhaps for
tanate that there are not enough offices at the
disposal ~ the provls onal government go around
All the hungry liberals and democrats about Madrid
have obtained Office and there are places eIt TO buy
up the republican leaders In the South. Thus no.
erty has a ~ ght chance among u.s. Whatever lead
ers may do m The southern provinces the people
stand Drm IN tie resolve 10 hold to what they have
already obtained and 10 seek Tor more.

Some Of them have displayed talents OF the highest
order anu the masses are beginning to look TO them
To Oil higher places and 10 carry out the re-
voution TO Us legitimate results. They are
not oGicc-seckers or politicians, and cannot
talk by the hour and say nothing. They are heart
and soul IN the mo enent What they have TO say
wisdom aud foresight. Ihe national volunteers
have been organized, drilled and are commanded by
these men OF tie lower classes. The most perfect
discipline u maintained anu no excesses are ccn.
