Spanish Politics.
LONDON, Sept 23.-Ths Times today has a
letter from Madrid giving the following inter-
esting news from Spain:
''The new ministry belong to what is called
the union of the Liberal party formed by
O'Donnell from the best elements of the the n
Conservative party and the Liberal party.
They come into the cabinet with clean hands
and a reputation for talent and integrity"
The correspondent ascribes the change in the
ministry not only to dissensions on the question
of suffrage, but to the distribution Of some
highly lucrative posts in Cuba and the Philip
pine Islands, which we're sought by all parties
not only with avidity, but acrimony and, it is
said, personal coarseness. The moderate party,
furious at their defeat, have been very bitter in
the expression of their opinion since being
ousted. Their behavior will have the effect to
disgust both king and country with their pref.
udice and want of liberality. The tide of feel
ing is setting in the right direction and all
things point to the union of the Liberal party
as the QUE most likely to form wisely just adj
ministration.
Senior CASTELAR, of late has moderated many
of his advanced ideas and in al probability his
adherents if not mself will offer themselves
for seats in the Spanish Cortes and become
powerful supporters of the liberal monarchy
The majority of the officers of the army sup
port the present regime and desire to put an
end to the war. AS to the state of feelings in
the Provinces, it is simply one of utter weari
ness and indifference. There is very little ma
tional though plenty of provincial feeling left
in the country.
