! ments and the Undiminished splen-
dor in which he has displayed
! the ancient gallantry Of his race upon
/ every occasion in the field since the
I day when he began his military ca
/ reer as a simple captain IN the famous
| AOsta brigade, which was always con-
| spicuOus for dash in the charge, stead
/ iness in the thick Of action, and cool
ness when forced by overwhelming
numbers to retreat. At the same time
the Prince has been equally esteemed
in civil life, and, at all times when
calm dignity OF bearing, quiet de-
cisiOn and good judgment were main
~ desirable, has fulfilled the most san
guine expectations of his friends.
These are good Omens.
SPAIN To BE CONGRATULATED UPON
THE RESULT.
With a long and illustriOus series
Of examples before him, and with the
prestige Of the grand patriotic sue
cesses which have since then raised
the house Of Savoy, first to the royal
hOnOrs Of Piedmont and Sardinia and
then to the throne Of united Italy,
now one of the first-class powers OF
the world, young Amadeus i. of
Spain has some brilliant guarantees
handed down 70 him from the past to
sustain him in the arduOus but splen-
did duties of the future now opening
before him. Moreover, as we have
| briefly endeav0red to show, his own
record has been full of promise, and,
I thus far, since the announcement Of
his newly found preterment, he has
shown himself to be every inch a man.
Spain herself is full of natural re-
sources, and, could the immemOrial
f0menters of discord, the continual
and implacable plUtters for faction
wars and dvuastiC chimeras. be, once
for all, crushed out by the good sense
of the nation at large, she might rap
idly regain her former rank at the
council board Of the nations. As
things have run for fifty years past she
has simply been d disturber Of the
/ peace, SO full Of vagaries and eXcesses
that an individual guilty of the same
would rigntfully come under our legal
commissions de lJUUticO iHQlgirgndO.
1t is, then, In the common interest
of mankind, no less than for the sake
Of our eGrly friend and ally, the Span
ish people, that we wish, in the pleas
ant greetings of the New Year with
which he begins to reign, all good for
tune and success to the wise, firm and
prompt, yet liberal, measures Of Am
8deus l., King Of the Spaniards elect
by fair vote of the COrtes, should that
vote be now sustained by the spOnta-
neOUs approval Of the honest, orderly
and productive classes inhabitiug the
magnificent but long afflicted country
which he comes from Italy to govern.
THE KING or SPAIN IN MADRID.
BY q special telegram forwarded
from Madrid TO London, and thence
by the cable to this city yesterday, we
are enabled to report the arrival Of
his Majesty Amadeus, King Of the
Spaniards, in his capital The record
Is quite hopeful for the new dynasty.
The youthful monarch salUted his
people in the very presence Of the re-
mains OF the dead soldier, Prim;
living, progressive principle before
the hJnOred vet deceased representa-
tive OF a remarkable, but unqUiet and
Troublesome era in the history Of the
country. The king advanced modest
ly, jOUrneying from Carthagena to
Ar8DjueZ, and from that ancient city to
the national palace IN Madrid. He was
received with enthusiasm, although
thep ep0pUl8reXpressiOn was not Ofavery
demOnstrstive character. COnstitu-
tiOnalism is on the ascendant in Spain;
party politics ignored at least for the
moment. The King rode at once TO
the hall of COrtes, was sworn in, and
sOlemnly avOWed his fidelity to the
people, his subjects. After his return
to the palace he gave audience to
many prominent public leaders, and
formed, almost certainly, a first cabi-
net, consisting of lOug-tried and faith
ful men. The inclination Of the court
is evidently toward the Spanish party
which is known as the union liberal
Ii is TO be hoped that the " blight"
viii soon be removed from 90 the olive
Of Spain" and that it viii, as was
ever hoped, be entWiued in the Brst
" garland of European liberty
