MADRID, May 10, 1859.
Eight months have now elapsed since the break
ing out OF the revolution-eight months OF anarchy
during which the imbecile aud ambitious men now
at the head Of the government have kept the nation
IN state OF suspense, disputing among themselves
unable to come to any decision and giving time to
every other party to combine and form their plans.

The government Affects to sneer at the idea of a
Cariist movement. and General Prim has repeatedly
spoken with contempt in the COrtes both or Isabel

France, and on one occasion explaining with a GER

conspraors on the frontier was not the fault of the
French government; "i0r, " said he, 'when we were
consplring and they prevented us from entering by
the road, we always found other ways OF coming
in.'
On one occasion sharp war OF words took place
between General Klein and the Old Carllst Ochoa

Meanwhile the debates upon the constitution,
