THIS DAY. • 'flung .14 Ainutets after Evening 5_  sort. CHRISTIIIA Mu oz, seeing that she cannot I recover the Regency, wants to secure the -vast t property which FERDINAND, in his dotage, be-' stowed upon her in Spain. It is not a regard fhr her character, but a solicitude for the safety of her money-bags, that influences her present conduct. She could not avow her participa-, tion in the insurrection without exposing her domains to confiscation, and of her vast wealth there is not a single dollar which she does not prize above the heart's-blood of the unfortunate General LEON and all his misguided accomplices. We have little doubt that the Spanish Government, , which is no stranger to her cupidity, took care to place this view of the question before her in a strong light. The Spanish Min6lei at Paris, Senor OLOZAGA, appears to have acquitted himself with signal ability under very trying circumstances. It may be reasonally infer•=' d from his letter to General ALCALA, that he ►ost no time in making CHRISTINA acquainted with her exact position, and of the necessity of her assuming one less suspiciously hostile, if she was not prepared to go all lengths with her partisans. We moreover know that the strong remonstrances addressed by OLOZAGA to the French Government kept LOUIS PHILIPPE within hounds, when his Majesty had all ,but made up his mind to throw off the mask, and declare openly for O'DONNELL and the CHRISTINA insurgents. We have heard, and readily believe, that Senor OLOZAGA met with the cordial support of the English Government. This was what CHRISTINA' MUNOZ and her partizans were not at all prepared for, seeing that they were ready to gratify the Tories by abolishing the Constitution. But the Tories well knew that a crusade against Spanish liberty fur the purpose of placing a on of the. King of the FRENCH on the throne of IsABELLA 11. would doom them to everlasting reprobation, and they very prudently declined being dupes to any such infamous transaction.  One important and salutary fact is established by the attempted insurrection in favour of CHRISTINA MUNOZ in Spain—namely, that the bulk of the inhabitants desire nothing so ardently as peace. In the insurgents' bands hardly a man was comprehended but the soldiers and their officers, who deserted Don CARLOS and accepted the Convention of Bergara. These men, suspected by all parties and trusted by none, grew exceedingly dissatisfied with their condition. In Valencia the REGENT endeavoured to promote them to offices of trust, in common with the rest of their fellow-countrymen, but such was the outcry raised against them by the friends of those whose blood they had shed when in the service of Don CARLos, that he was constrained to cancel their appointments. Their chief, General MAROTO, remonstrated privately and publicly, but the people were inexorable. Despised by the Carlists, who remained faithful to their principles, and distrusted by the loyal subjects of the youn; QUEEN, these men leAily hearkened to the proposals made to them hy the agents of CHRISTI VA Murioz. The King of the FRENCH, who did not discriminate between them and the old legions of ESPARTERO, readily gave credence to their report that the army was wholly disaffected t:,) the present Government. The signal failure of the expedition, and the loss of his forty thousand pounds, will cure the King of the FRENCH of his present itch tin- meddling so deeply in Spanish politip. It is deeply to be deplored that the state of publie feeling in Spain imposes upon the REGENT the necessity of making severe examples of the misititled men who are taken in arms against the Government. But in a country, where every act of clemency is imputed to weakness, and therefore but the provocative to future rebellion, a claimed leniency is often the greatest cruelty. Still we trust that every .precaution will be adopted to avoid the useless effusion of blood. While on the one band it way be absolutely neeessary to convince the people that the crime of rebellitin never goes unpunished, it cannot be less nevessary on the other to avoid familiarising them with the brutalizing spectacle of numerous capital punishments. There are few wholesome moral lessons to be learned under the gallows, or Within hearing of a murderous fusilade. A few severe examples in different parts of Spain may unhappily be called for, but a Gal-eminent so strong as the REGENT'S no longer requires the aid of terror to maintain it against an - enemy so utterly wanting in every great and good quality as
