of civilization, threw off the traditional bonds
which fettered the public mind. Spain &c
layed for long time following the example OF
her neghborS. She now calls on her reprcsen-
tatves to construct new edi6ce The revolu-
ton has achieved L bloc Hess victory The
strength of the nation has not been impaired,
but the extravaganza offor ner iIu nistrations
has disorganized and embarrassed its finances.
The Government relies upon the Cortes to
remedy this by economical reforms and changes
OF administration by wise legislation in regard
to the public debt and the payment of the In
terest thereon and by economlz!ng the expen
ses OF the army and navy. The fundamental
principles of radical Liberalism which had been
adopted in relation to religion, the press, and
education, by the Provisional Government,
must now be consolidated by the action OF the
Deputies. Our revolution here is not respon-
sble for the rising in Cuba that is due to the
errors of past governments He expressed the
hope that the revolution there would be speedily
put down. and that tranquility, based on re-
form, would be durable He predicted that
slavery would be put down without precipita
ZION, and without compromising the prosperity
of the Antilles. In conclusion, he congratula'
ted the c)untry on the good relations with
foreign nations, now more intimate than ever
before.

describes him as something wonderful. He
spoke last week on So the Poor Indian, and

voice is clear AID piercing-his flow OF words
perfectly iDcomprehensible. No mill race, full

poured along such torrent as this orator OF
Tennessee. Almost every member left his seat
and, crowding about him, they laughed and

OF the red man, and tumbng In the continent
of Americ1, upon Asia, Africa, Arabia and the
Holy Land, with passing glance at the starry
heavens, the terrestrial globe, hell aud the
devil-in which last named he located rebels
and Copperheads, leaving them taking the
oath of allegiance, amid shrieks Of fends and
roars OF laughter from the House. Imagine a
man OF medium size. thin angular, grizzly as

wrote to the Mayor of Washington 10 reply to

ii. OF England, Rumbold, sturdy republican,
said TO have been connected with what was
called the Rye house conspiracy. was taken
prisoner, whilst engaged in one of the insured
tious in Scotland, and sentenced to te executed.
One of his recorded dying expressions was,
THAT be had never believed the generality Of
mankind came into the world bridled and
saddled, and few booted and spurred to ride
upon them" The sentiment in Mr.. Jefferson
letter was the same, and the language nearly
identical.
