MADRID, June 2s, 1870.
Congress Is about to be closed. and the Padres de
Ia Patrfa ("Fathers OF the Country'O are already
packing up for their return home to the provinces
to give account OF their stewardships TO their con-
stituents-some to boast or what they have done,
others to excuse themselves for what they have
done. Few, inceed, boast OF having adhered to
their programme-somc having been brbed by
appointments, others by promises and the majority
OF the remainder by the hopes OF obtaining pro-
misses. Thus II Is that government have generally
carried all before them, done what they pleased,
got evil measures passed and worse conduct ap-
proved. SO it Is they can venture to laugh at the
complaints made by the nation through the press,
and Rivero pufed up with PRIDE can rise in
Congress and challenge the country to arms
II the people dare threatening to exterminate
the republicans from the face Of the earth II they
attempt to move The republican party Is not the
only one Rivero and his colleagues have to fear;
there are other parties eager to take the
field and wait but the opportunity.
The Carlists are daily gaining ground; they have
powerful agents in the clergy who have still such
influence over the people This party mas on more
| than one occasion offered to support the repub-
cans. The Isabella and Alfonsista parties are still
strong and especially so In the army. The people
are wearled OF the long interregnum; they want
something at least with the appearance OF stability
to be established, whether monarchy or republic,
and, body, really believe they don't care
which. The other day general told me that he
considered the republic Inevitable but not lust now;
the people were not prepared for IT, II IT, therefore,

are gradually but surely running the little good that
has been done by the revolution OF 1868, and are
growing stronger every day.
The people are already beginning to consider the
revolution failure cheat Tney were promised
that the result OF the revolution should he the mme-
date abolition OF slavery the suppression Of the
Consumption act, mild and liberal government and
an economical administration. None OF such pro-
misses have been realized, Notwithstanding 1t il
nearly two years since the revolution was effected.
On the contrary. every possible obstacle Is thrown
in the way to proven; any liberal measure being
adopted and this Will last SO long as 40 Deputies
ale holding civil appointments. How can they DO
otherwise than vote with the government How
can they be otherwise than slaves to the govern
mert' They are bribed by the prospect Of lucre;
they cannot act in conformity with the dictates OF
their consciences for fear Of losing their appoint
ments. What minority can hope to pass bill with
such odds against themS None whatever. And
however impossible that such state of affairs can
last long, and l doubt much that the next two
months VIII pass Without some attempt be-
Ing made at least TO upset the present

desire TO grasp the sceptre. His only chance was at
the battle OF Alcolea at the moment when the OF
events changed, when the people required change
and were Indifferent to the person provided that
tue change was erected.
INVITATIONS
Lately great number of pet lions IN favor Of his
being elected have been presented by different Depl.
ties. The petitions have long lists OF signatures;
| but what does 1t all amount tor Next TO nothing.
need not say how easy Is TO get signatures TO a
petition, but may say that here there thousands
who, for ticket 10 tue bull fight, would
sign their name fifty times over, and swear
| to be Montpensiers best friends; but Their
fidelity would only last as long the bun fight
| dured, after which they would not know their own
signatures, or II they ala, would declare it done
In joke and be surprised that any one could sup
pose them capable OF electing Frenchman for
| King. Had they not mblbed, with their mothers
the latent fire Of hatred still burning the bosom OF
| every mothers child OF course 1t is; but they
wanted to see the bull ngh go TO the circus the
theatre, and az the Frenchlnan has cots OF dinero
and can afford 10 pay, they thought IL better take
from an enemy than borrow from friend. Such Is
the conversation have heard.
Others say. IL am glad TO see the progress Mont
pensier Is making, for 1t Is only when there a
chance of his being King that the country will wake
up from their long siestd Ana IL turned out to be
true; for he was almost certain OF being elected
when Rajo Arlas brought forward his famous blu

and destroyed the Chateaux en- Espague he had
been so long building and so fondly contemplating
