LONDON, Oct. 19.-The Times has
an article on Gen. Prim. The writer
admits that Prim is not man of
| transcendent genius, but has depth
| less and boundless ambition. He has
| the army in his hands and intends to
| keep it as long as Spain is without a
| King. None can Wrest from him the
sword, which is the real sceptre of
Spain. Prim sees this, and resolves
that no King shall preside over Spain
but one Of his own making, or under
his influence; and above all, no Mont
pensier, whom he always opposed. 1t
is not easy or hardly desirable to
break through the arrangement which
places in Prim's hands the virtual
sovereignty. IF Prim is disposed to
make good use OF his victory, let him
introduce, not improvident elemency
or inordinate liberty, but true order
based on legality.
