MADRID, Oct. 2.
The irritation against France and the
French Government has assumed tremen-
| dous proportions. Not only do all the roy
alist papers echo the feeling of the Con-
| servatives, but even Liberals and members
of the Dynastic Left, mon like Senor Moret.
Every Independent paper, EI Inparctdl es-
pecially, and La Ibera, the chief organ OK
the Cabinet, also calls the Partisan demon
stration shameful disgrace for France,
and an act of savagery unworthy civilized
people. They cast the entire responsibility
on President Grevy and the French Cabi-
net, who so weakly defended their guest.
La Ibera is authorized, it says, to state that
the King condescended to remain one night
more in Paris and dine with President
Grevy only after an humble apolgy, and
reserving his liberty of action to ask that
satisfaction, public and exemplary, be
made for the insult. The Madrid press say
that he will be backed by the unanimous
feeling'of his people. His return was de-
cided upon at the repeated request of the
Ministers here. The ambassadors to France
will follow him. The note demanding an
apology will be energetic. The Madrid
press and official kilograms say that Al
fonso spoke very sternly to, President
Grevy. The irritation at the embassy and
in the Spanish colony in Paris is very
great because the official world in Spain
blame the French Government for the
lukewarm reception. Great sympathy for
Germany is expressed in the monarchical
press, in the hope.that the attitude of Spain
will receive the support of Germany. sii@
A splendid reception is being prepared
for the King tomorrow. ALI the members
of the Royalist party and the officers OF the
garrison will unite in the loyal demonstra-,
tion. The republican and democratic press
confess that the French intransigentes have
damaged themselves and for a long time
have damaged the prospects of the PENN
sular democracy. Ell Globe, the organ Of
Senior CASTELAR,, and FL Pervenar, the organ
of Ruiz Zorrilla, deplore such a capital inn
petus given to the German alliance. They
say that. Prince Bismarck has been success
full in the present instance beyond his most
sanguine expectations. The French EN-
bassy since yesterday has been protected
by police. Public feeling is very Ugh.
The King is expected here on Tuesday
morning. EfF 4 : ~
Queen Christina obtained to-day the
most loyal reception on record since the
restoration from the official world. In the
railway station even more loyal was the
demonstration from the crowd. On the
route to the palace the people were rushing
and cheering behind the royal carriage.
Loud cries against France were heard in
the crowd: Placards against France have
been posted in various parts of Madrid, but.
they were instantly torn, down by the po-
lice, who are on guard with their officers in
all the avenues leading to the French Lega--
ton. Irritation is very high. Frenchmen
have been sighted in Madrid and other
on having left Paris, and urge the Cabinet
to insist on satisfaction. No decision is
likely until the King can preside at the
Council.
