with regard to FOREIGN relations and domestic
ahalrs, Isabella broke with England: she
established diplomatic relations With Austria
ana Prussia, which had both of them up to that
time refused TO recognize her as the legitlmate
sovereign OF Spain; and she sent an army to
ara IN re-establishiDg the Pope upon his then
rOMering g throEe. At home the most severe
measures OF repression we're employed against
ine Liberal party. Such state of things
however, could not endure. The seeds of lib
erty nsd been planted in the soil of Spain; the
spifIt OF progress-which is the spirit of the age
had penetrated into that country: and the
issue OF the contest between freedom and des-
potlsm IN the old home of the Inquisition be-
came only question of time. Hence it Is that
Ior tbe last twenty years Spain has had hardly
single year of unbroken internal peace, popu-
lar tumults and revolts following each other in
Iapio succession, provoked by the attitude and
the measures of the Government towards the
Liberal party. In the presence of these dis.
tui Dances Queen Isabella has generally sho wn
disposition to yield to the popular dem ands:
put the immediate danger passed, the iusurfec
uon quelled, she has never failed to return TO
the policy which she seems to have learned
OILY TOO well from her unprincipled mother.
Ihe reign OF Queen Isabella has been q stir
ring one, from It's very commencement to the
present time. and unlike her royal sister of
England, she must have experienced to the full
ine truth OF the spothegm, Uneasy lies the
bead head that wears Gro oTn." Her infancy. and
her ripper years have been troubled by incessant
CIVIL commotiops. Considering the iInfortu-
nate training she received, it is difficult to de-
termlne whether she is most to be commise-
rated or most TO be blamed; although. unless
she has been greatly belied the sinister in
huences by which she has all along been
surrounded, have been powerfully seconded
by an innate perversty of disposition. Her
reign has been marked by events of great ma
tionsl importance, foremost among which must
be counted the war with Morocco, which termi-
mated SO gloriouslY for the Spanish; the INVASION
OF Santo Domingo, undertaken to recover Dos
session OF that ancient colony of Spain, but
ending in disaster and disgrace to the national
arms; the Intervention jointly with France and
England in the republic of Mexico; and the
futile attempts of Spain to coerce the republics
of Chilli and Peru. In person Queen Isabella
possesses more OF the charms peculiar to her
sex, being both very stout and very plain.
