TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 30. 1836.  Since the death of M. Rayneval, the late Ambassador of France at the Court of Spain, which we announced in our last publication, and the hourly succession of imperious incidents in the capital, and provinces, of that devoted country, the greatest turmoil had existed in the Cabinet of M. Thiers, and it ended in its dissolution on Thursday last; on which day, at three o'clock post meredian, M. M. Thiers, Maison, Duperre, Passy, Lauzet, and Pelet, placed their resignations in the bands of the King. The Times received this intelligence by an extraordinary express on Saturday morning at three o'clock ; and their correspondent's letter, coupled with the above, we give in our contemporaneous column. The dissolution of the French Cabinet has entirely resulted from the state of affairs in Spain. For several days, according to the Courier Francais, the members were engaged in conflicting opinions on the course to be adopted. M. Thiers, pressing for an immediate intervention, when intelligence of the murder of the Marquis de Nloncayo (General Quesada) and the Queen's position, reduced the Cabinet to a state of perfect discord. M. Thiers being still supported as he thought by a powerful party of friends out of doors, endeavoured to weather the storm ; and he hoped to carry his views at a Council held on Thursday, but in this he signally failed. The confusion was materially increased by the'deci sion of General Alava, the Ambassador from Spain, who, it is alleged, positively refused his accesion to the Constitution of 1812; and that, together with all his secretaries, he had resigned the Paris embassy, and was preparing to go to Tours, although M. Boisle Compte, the newly appointed minister to the Court of Spain, had received instructions not to object at once to the form of government forced upon the Queen Regent. . As we give the condensed portion of the voluminous intelligence from these papers, it is not necessary to enlarge on the events they.detail. • One thing is certain, if the Journal de Debats is to be credited—the absolute re• pugnance of Louis Philippe to the Constitution of 1812 We had already completed our commentary on this subject, when we found (to our agreeable support) our opi., nions more than corroborated by the emphatic declarations of our able foreign contemporary, who pronounces it absolutely impracticable—that "it was never acted upon and never can be"—that it cannot "hold together any materials for establishing a safe government,"—and that "no one could exercise the independent functions of sovereignty under it." Here is a choice morceau for our Crown and Anchor friends, Murphy and Co. But they will exclaim—'that is just the thing we want,"—" no sovereignty for us, either in Spain, here, or anywhere else; but the glorious sovereignty of *the people' alias mob-law ! We however tell you, Master Murphy, that although we are Protestant, and you Roman Catholic, that Spain cannot do without sovereignty—a King she must and will have—we know Spain better than you do, although neither priest nor jesuit, and it is the most worthless of all vanities for you, and all your jacobinical crew to think of first destroying the monarchical principle in Spain, that you may have a precedent for levelling it in Britain. Better for you to attend to the sale of your murphys of the earth brown jacket,' and your "black diamonds," than set up for a state constitution-monger— a trade beyond your "compasity," as our friend Feargus quaintly expresseth it! Viewing the question on serious grounds, for, nationally, it cannot be treated with levity, we unhesitatingly charge the whole of the evils which have arisen, and which may arise on the imbecile policy of the Palmerstonian and Estatu Real system, in concett with M. Thiers : that policy has been the most contemptibly pitiful, ever exhibited in sustenance of the interests of a great nation ; whilst It has exposed Spain to all the hor
