The report is as malevolently calumnious and
as iniquitous as the report which makes the
crowning of Antonio I by the distinguished
General Prim depend on deposit of millions as
payment of the service.
OF the illustrious President of the Council Of
Ministers il is not necessary to proclaim what,
to his honor, nobody is ignorant of, and what is
proved by his decisive words, which l also
should not be obliged to repeat, If there was not
o Montpensierist interest concerned In forget
ting them:-"1. That Lam, and shall be while
live, the most decided political enemy of the
French Duke; 2, that there is no motive, diff
Guilty, intrigue, or violence which can weaken
the .profoundest contempt which his person
inspires me with-a most just feeling, which, on
account of his political buffoonery, every man
of worth experiences in general, and every good
Spaniard in particular"
1t matters not to me how provoke the anger
and underhand vindictive designs of those who
have degraded themselves by kissing, while
they weigh 1t, Montpensierist money.
i, an emigrant and laborer for liberalism at
Paris In the time of Narvaez and Gonzales Bravo
speak respecting this Montpensier question with
knowledge. q.
The Prince as crafty as his Jesuitical ances-
tors, whose infamous conduct is SO clearly de-
ecribed in the history of France, would have
been proclaimed King In the waters of Cadiz If
an illustrious comrade of mine in the navy had
not refused to stain his uniform by breaking dis

modern times. .......
Mercenaries say that Montpensier is a perfect
being, the iris of peace and the god of good
ness. Be 1t so. But whatever blood has been
shed, and perhaps will be shed, before his COM
plete disappearance, falls on the pretenders
head. A bad mode of lifting up crown fallen
to earth.
The libe ralism of Montpensier, instigated by
the fever of making himself king, is so self
interested that the terrible lesson is deserved
which is sometimes imposed by the justice of in
dignant nations.

Whenever on shipboard l passed within sight
of Gibraltar used to exclaim, "When shall we
be completely Spaniards?" And whenever. l
pass in front of the august monument of the
I'd of May, | repeat, "When shall we be entirely
Spaniards ?"
In 1908, when my father instigated the rising
of the valiant population of Madrid, the armed
invasion against our country was the cause.
To-day 1t is the hypocritical, Jesuitical, and
suborning invasion of the Orleanists against our
country-so wearied out, so disenchanted, and
so riddled with grapeshot by its Government.
Happily the glorious shades of Daviz and
Velarde and of the martyrs of the Carral have
not yet disappeared, and they still remain pre-
sent to the heart of every good Spaniard.
Montpensier represents the knot of the Or
leanist conspiracy against the Emperor Napo-
leon lila conspiracy into which certain Span
iards of rank have entered. Nevertheless
let these conspirators know that if the imperial
dynasty fall the Orleans family would not be the
heirs, but Rochefort, or, what is the same thing,
the French republic.
