THE NEWEST PHASE IN SPANISH
AFFAIRS.
From the Evening Post.

From the Evening Post
On Saturday last, Senator CASTELAR,,
the leader of the Spanish Republicans,
announced in the Cortes, that he will in
troduce a motion for the dethrCnement Of
the King. This action on the part of the
Republicans, bold as it is. is not prema-
ture in the light of the recent cleo ions
in Spain; and while the hope is visionary
that reaction in the Cortes or revolu
ton in the country will result in the
establishment Of a republic. King ANA,

In the Conservatives we include seven

It will be observed that the govern

half dozen different cliques TO work up |
on them in as many different directions, /
these eleven men cannot be expected to
count very long on the government side

these So votes with a fair proportion of
the remaining 100, are expected on the
anti-Savoy side; with the opposition as
at present organized, the ministry will
have very hard work to sustain them
selves, and their downfall will be the
preface to political revolution, which
Spain, Of course, will insist on accom-
panying with bloodshed.
Castellar's motion will be hazardous,
and will certainly be defeated while the
ministry continues in power; but as an
index of the future, it is fraught with
momentous promise.
