TElseaAms TO THE NEW YORK HERALD.


The following special dispatches to the
HERALD have been received from our CORE
spondents in the British and Spanish capt.
tals:-
LONDON, Feb. %, 1873.
In the considerations which induced His
Majesty King Amadeus to abdicate the throne
of Spain the possible declaration Of Spanish
Republic was never for a moment contem-
plated. The realization of the new form of
government was complete surprise to nina
veritable coup Geta.
CALCULATIONS OF THE CROWNS AND THE CAUSE
OF THE PEOPLES.
Amadeus would not have abdicated had he
deemed this consequence of his relinauish-
ment Of power in any degree probable, mas
much as two Latin nations-France and
Spain-having each republican govern
rnent, exercises an enormous influence on the
third Latin Acknowledgment thus en-
danger the throne of his father, King Victor
Emmanuel
A DELICATE AND DANGEROUS GAME WITH THE
RoYALIsrs cHEcKafATED.
King Amadeus abdicated under influence of
the expectation that he would be recalled to
to the SOW gnty and crown of the Spaniards
by the Spanish army, with which he sided
against the Ministry, and for this, and with
this interest in view, he remanded to the line
of the frontier of Portugal the artillery officers
and all the Spanish commanders who are
monarchists or descended from the old royal
list families. He believed that. as he cast
away the throne rather than act with Ministry
which was determined to humiliate the mill
tary body, the army would pronounce in his
favor against these Spanish statesmen, and
that he would return to Madrid at the.head of
the soldiery and with his hands free from the
restraint of constitutional trammels
PATRIOTISM TRIUMPHANT OVER DYNAsT1c MA
NGUvRE
The King was completely oheckmated in his
calculations by the turn of events. Appar-
emily some suspicion of his design was enter
tanned in influential quarters and this induced
many members of the Cortes, men who were
not republicans, to vote with the republican
party in order to overreach the royal ma
npuvre.
HOPE IN EXILE.
The ex-King has not even to-day relin-
pushed the hope of his cause in Spain or
his recall.
rEuroN ndpER1ALrsM BEING THANKED By LATIN
RACE DEMoCRACIEs.
The existence of the Spanish Republic is o
source of uneasiness at Court in Berlin. His
Majesty Emperor William of Germany now
regrets the false step which he took towards
the readjustment of governmental affairs in
France. He is sorry that he did not re-estab-
lish Napoleon the Third or some other mon
arch in Paris, and accepted the payment of o
slight indemnity, rather than have permitted
public events to take the course they did
Emperor William regards the Spanish Re-
public as political and popular consequence
of the French Republic, and he is anxious
and uneasy because he is uncertain where The
European republican movement will stop.
