SPAIN.
An English Candidate for the Throne.
Paris (Oct. 1I Cor Of London Standard.
Spanish affairs continue the chief topic
of Inc day. The general feeling here is that. in
spite of the denials of the semt-official press,
there is every reason to believe that Prim aud
serrano mean 10 propose the Duke of Edin-
burgh 10 the Cortes as their future King. The
nothing M more re- conclusive against it than
the old-womanish plea that being Pro-
in the extreme. Your contemporary ought TO
know that the present revolution is quite as
anti Papal as 1t is anti Bourbonian, and the
fact of their fNtule sovereign being what the
London Times calls "a hereto" would not be a
might % have rejected that there is a very nota-
Bile example of q "heretic" sovereign ruling
successfully intensely
Catholic as Spain itself. King Leopold I. Of
Belgium, was none the less beloved and re-
speeted by his subjects because ne &c dld not go to
such standing is surprising. No doubt the
"silly season" accounts for 1t.
Prim on the Future.
A telegram from Paris of October IL, evening
reports:-General Prtm has addressed letter
to the Paris journal LIE GauLoiS. thanking IL for
the sympathy 1t has shown for the popular
movement IN Spain. The General expresses
astonshment at the inpatience of that portion
of the French press which considers that Spain
adds:-"ISisht days sufficed for as to overtnroS row v
dynasty three hundred years old and to estab'
lish new government; over me we We, shall ,1 not delay
stituent Assembly on the basis OF our pro-
gramme, which is known to you. We snail
then have succeeded In attaining the political
ideal OF contemporary Spain. namely, really
constitutional monarchy founded upon tee
most extended liberal basis compatible with
that kind of government"
Popular Progress and Hope.
From the London Star. Oct. IL.
= Whether Bourbon or O Cobourg is to
rule at Madrid, whether the dream of federal
tion of a reunited Iberian kingdom Is to be
accomplished, is of little Importance compared
with the fact that the statesmen of Spain,
whether civilians or soldiers. are united in a
policy consonant with the tone OF liberal optn-
Ion EropsS pSs and n
ingknife of administrative reform into
every - departmennt t. Of the p1SiiS ser SER
latest effort for the regeneration OF Spain will
he crowned with the success which we are free
10 say that 1t well deserves, or whether the
slumbering evils OF ecclesiasticisn and mill
tarism may not recover strength to crush the
good seed. But one thing is clear, the popular
feeling in Europe is thoroughly in sym pathy
with the revival OF Spanish liberty, and the
public opinion of the civilized world would
un animously and justly condemn any attempt
on the part of foreign power to coerce or to
repress the endeavors of the Spanish people to
settle in their own way the stable foundations
OF free government for Spain.
