Whilst ftapoloon w aasuriDp; the diplo
matic corps which presented the annual address
at the Tuilcrles that all was going on well, and
that tranquillity reigned supreme, General Prim,
Coude de Ktaes, was at the head of two regi
ments of hnsears at Ocana and Aranjuez, raisin?
the standard of rebellion against her mot CV
tholic Majesty, Queen iHabclla II, and her minis
ter, Marshal O'Donnell. You arc aware already
of what had been going on for some time in the
Teninsula. We will look at facts through two
glasses. The first shall be the official glasses
and the second those of truth. Let us begin
with the oflicial glasses.
AN OFFICIAL VIEW.
Through these everything looks beautiful and
serene. Trim is being abandoned by his follow
ers, he Is suffering from a liver complaint of long
fttanding, and trying to elude the troops of the
Qnen, as the Clericals and Projrrossintas, In
whoso name be has raised the standard of rebel
lion, have lelt htm In the lurch. Those who
have been foolharly enough to espouse his
cause have fled in sudden panic and crossed the
Portuguese frontier. It will not escape your
notice that the Cabinet of Madrid, which affects
the moat perfect tranquillity, is daily putting
one province alter another in a state of niece,
and placing person? under arrest; in fact, acting
with all the violence of a Government at its
last gasp.
Even Madrid, which the French Mmitrur de
clared devoted to tbe Queen, is in a state of
siege. All these facts considerably diminish Our
confidence in O'Donnell's despatches. It will
he remembered that in 1854, at the time of the
military insurrection which placed O'Donnell at
the head of the ministry, the news from Madrid
was equally favorable to the then existing
Government; on tho 7th of July telegrams were
forwarded to us wbich stated that the insurgents
(i. e., O'Donnell) were halting nowhere, and were
trying to gain tbe Portuguese frontier by way o
Estramadura, and that they were being hotly
pursued by the Royal troops. On the 20th of
July Madrid made a pronunciamento in favor of
O'Donnell. The same farce is being played all
over again in 18GG, aud let us look at things
through
TUB GLASSES OP TRCTE.
The scene now changes, according to private
accounts of tho authenticity of which there
cannot bo the slightest doubt. Barcelona,
Valencia, Carraguna, and twenty o'her towns of
equal importance are in a state of open revolt.
Prim has completely beaten General Labala,who
haa been sent in pursuit of him; the whole army
Is more or less rihatl'ected, for not a day passes
by without whole regiments going over to tho
enemy. Madrid, it is expected, Jwill soon rise,
but assuredly not in favor of O'Donnell. I have
not the slightest doubt (and it is also the opinion
of those arriving from Spalu) but that Prim has
every chance of success.
What is raoie alarming for Spain is that Prim,
who is known to be very ambitious, is suspected
(though appearances would lead one to believe
that his only object is to displace O'Donnell) of
"wishing to depose the Bourbons, and form an
Iberian Union and constitutional monarchy in
conjunction wita the House of Bragunza. and the
present King of Portugal to be King. For It is
evident that Europe is being tired of constant
revolutions and wishes for peace, the inevitable
consequence of the so-called principles of nation
alities. This unitary movement seems to be a
necessary stage road which is to lead us to the
the goal so much desired, unioersal fraternity.
I think the world is ready to make any sacrl
flee that we may attain so grand a result.
The movement in ISpaln is, I think, very siml
lar to that which began in Italy a few years ago
(minus the Pope, of course), and I should not be
eurprifed if France required some compensation
of tho new kingdom of Iberia when once consti
tuted. In fact, the rrogressislas' movement would
be unacceptable were its aim not to be the union
of Portugal with Spain. The internal policy of
Spain is execiable, and its external policy is that
of the pirate without energy. However, as it is,
the Spanish enjoy mor liberty of the subject than
in France. Liberty of conscience alone Is for
bidden by a Queen eaten up by superstition, and
under the domination of a bigot like Hermana
Patrocinio; but were a more liberal Covernraent
established, this last vestige of the Inquisition
would soon disappear. The abstention of the
rrogressistas in the late election is a proof that
something has been brewing, and that they have
been waiting lor the word of command from
Prim.
Foreign powers cannot be suppos?d to be
hostile to the House of Braganza. England has
the greatest affection tor the King of Portugal,
and will not regret the overthrow of a Govern
ment which condemns those who sell the Bible
to seven years' penal servitude. Italy would be
delighted to boo the son-in-law of Victor E,n
manuel ascend the throne of 8pain. .As regards
France, there can be no doubt as to the step
she will take, as her hatred of the Bourbons is
well known. There is little doubt but that the
fate of the Bourbons is scaled. According to
last accounts, Malaga (i be country of the cele
brated Matumos, condemned to the galleys for
having embraced tho Protestant faith) is in
open insurrection.
In Madrid papers are being daily seized by the
police. Tho Iberia, one of tho most liberal
papers of the capital, no doubt in order to annoy
O'Donnell, gives every day the life of some aint
of the Catholic calendar.
Espartero, who gave his allusion to the Pro
Sressistas'1 programme in the lata election, has
taken no part in the inurrect'!ou headed by
Prim. The reusou is obvious, for Espartero Is
much attached to the reigning dynasty of Isa
bella II, und is only anxious for the overthrow
ofO'Doumll.

TUB OPENING OF TH FRSNCB CIIAMSKRS
Is fixed for the 221 of January, but no fixed
programme ha a yet been- decided on, for the
question ip- with the Government, Shall we
tighten or loosen the reins T Prince Napoleon,
who to now again; in favor with bU Imperial
cousin, is doing all he oan to urge the Emperor
to adopt liberal measures. - As regard Napoleon
HI, those around about him affirm that he has
never been more taciturn. Are the reflections of
the modern Sphynx similar to those which agi
tated the mind of Charles the First, a year be
fore he entered the Convent of MU Zulus, so ad
mirably portrayed by Prescott tn his history of
Philip IT If the present calm the precursor of a
s,torra 7 Chi lo sa T However, Napoleon III seems,
tor the present, to have quite given up any idea
of annexing
BELOIOST, AND LROPOLlI II
tan reign quietly on the throne left him by his
father. M. Van Praet, Minister of the Household
ef the King of the Belgians, notified to the Em
peror the accession of Leopold II to the throne.,
Ths Emperor and the ambassador exchanged
words of sympatliy, verba volant srripla manent,
it will be said; and the writings of Prince Napo.
leon, when a prisoner at Ftanc, must be consi
dered to be more sincere than the words of Na
poleon III. However, as the Emperor has
assured the Belgian Ambassador of his desire to
see the integrity of Belgium maintamcd, and as
he has done nothing to prove the contrary, we
must believe, if any veracity still remains in
him. He has enough to do with home matters,
for three years only separate him from
1869,
a date which seems no less important in the
eyes of every one than 1852, when a new Presi
dent of the Republic was to be elected. In 18G9,
tbe elections lor the Corps Legislalif are to take
place, and I prophc.-;y that no deputies favorable
to the Government will be elected. It is, there
fore, in 1809 that there will be a struggle be
tween the power which will grant no liberties
and the country, which 1.4 determined to wrench
these by lorce, if refused. An election which
has just taken place in the Department of the
Orno proves that the inhabitants of the pro
vinces are following the
t
HAP.cn of rnooBESH.
For the Department of the Orne is an agri
cultural one, nnd the farmers, for the most part
very opulent, devote their attention to the
breeding of cavalry horses an important point,
for it would naturally lead us to infer that they
would be ever desirous of keeping on good terms
with the Government. The contrary is, how
ever, the case, as the candidate of tho Ministry,
M. de Mackan, will not, it is supposed, be re
elected; and much tbe same thing is taking place
in many of the Departments.
In a constitutional country puch circumstances
might fail to attract attention. Should the elec"
tion of 18G9 prove unfavorable for ths present
Government, the Ministry would change, the
Whigs would succeed the Tories, and there would
be an end of the matter; but In France, can one
imagine the Constitution of the year VIII ca
poned to such a conflict? It would be its death
blow without fail. The year 18G9 has something
fatalistic about it. Some hope in it, some
fear it, it is indifferent to none; were it not for
the exhibition of 1867, 1 think that the electo
ral agitation would commence next year. The
conviction is that the Government will not
await 1869, but that it will give us another edi
tion of the Coup oVElat of 1852. I cannot say
that I share the general opinion, for the rea
son that a similar attempt, with impunity,
would be impossible within a space of eighteen
years' time. It also must be taken into considera
tion that the Prince Imperial will at that time
be only fourteen years of age, and it is not by
resistance that his father can expect to win the
hearts of the people for his son. Napoleon III
is now trying to sneak out of the alliance with
II err von Bismarck and Victor Emmanuel, and is
trying to be sweet with the House of Hapsburg
and other conservative powers of Europe.
TUB BOLE THOUGH OF NAPOLEON III,
at present, is to get out of the Mexican scrape
with as good grace as possible, in order to steer
clear of the United States. The Emperor wished
to retard the opening of the Chambers, in hopes
that Marshal Bazalne might be able to send us
news of some 'great victory over Juarez, wbich
would have enabled the French to retire from
Mexico with the honors of war. This Idea has
been abandoned, as we hear nothing of the im
portant victory. Napoleon III is now trying to
calm the public spirit. Here is another proof of
it. According to the terms of our convention of
the 15th of September, the French troops will
shortly quit Rome, leaving the Holy Father
to the care and protection of his loving subjects.
ITRY OF TIIE CLEBGY.
In order to console the priests, the Govern
ment has decided upon prosecuting the cele
brated editor, La Crois, for publishing the Holy
Scriptures, w itu notes by Proudhon. The pub
lisher says, in his defense, that atheistical books,
such as the "Life of Christ," by Straus, Lever
bock, and others, have been allowed to be pub
lished, and that Proudhon's Bible is much less
offensive than the?e works. The Judge, how
ever, informed him that ho had the right of
prosecuting or of not prosecuting. This will
give you an idea ol the state of things in France;
and it U obvious t.;at the Government is desi
rous ot not making an enemy of the clergy, who
are mnch moved at the whiniugs of the Pope ou
Christmas day aud on tbe first day of the year.
The Pope loi'es no opportunity of complaining,
and it may bo ttiid that resignation is not
amongst his many virtues. It is indeed hard to
see oneself slldinor down such an incline, when
one measures with the eye the heights occupied
by his predecessors.
" THE COllINO SESSION
will, no doubt, be of much interest, for we
would seem to be on the eve, as it were, of
taking stock. The C' ups Lcgislatifkua boon very
animated lor t.ie U-1 month, aud from all I
bear, the Government Is being picked to piecos
without mercy, y.any are now, I fear, pre
parir g tho way for a union with any party that
might succeed the present Government. There
is now a hnbbub lor the slightest cause possible.
Ju. de Moiichy, who lias lately married Princess
Anni Mui at, ccih u ot the Emp cror, haa bum
named a men:beror the Imperial Commission
f th thibitlon'of 1807. As the Duke does not
(njoy'the reputation of great respectability, the
nomination has given great offense.
Eveiybody is discontented the civilian be
cause the army is not reduced enough, and the
soldier because It has been reduced at all. So
we can sing with the song "There's nae luck
about the house." Notwithstanding this general
discontent, nothing can dampen the love of
. ' AMUSEMENT OF THE FRENCH PEOPLE,
or the rage for casinos; and tbe Diana ot them,
the incomparable Theresa, now shares the favors
of the public with the popular writer, limotee
2Wmm, whose daily articles la the Petit Journal
delight the amusement-loving populace of Paris.
Theresa is the representative of the low comic
song, and Timotee, Trimm that of the nauseous
literature of the day, which is entirely taken up
with the sayings and doings of the fallen sex.
But I wonld fain be silent on tho subject ; with
a free people such literature would be a disgrace,
and I have too much self-respect to wish to vie
with the organs of our Government. I will not,
however, close my epistle without giving you
a piece of iews which will not be without inte-.
rest. It has Just been discovered that herds of
French swine are being attacked by that terrible
malady known in our country under the name of
lrichynes. It is a small worm which la said to
multiply with wondrous rapidity. A morsel of
meat thus affected causes instantaneous death,
and whole villages have fallen victims from eat
ing of the same. The Government has ordered
that medical men shall be attached to alt tbe
slaughter-houses of Paris. This may be of inte
rest to your numerous readers, and I have
thought it right to mention it.
General Prim.
General Prim, Lleutenant-General in the Span
ish army, and Count of Reus bv the creation ot
Queen Christina, was born in 1811, and educated
to the profession of the army. In the war of
the snccesslon he took the side of Queen Isa
bella, and a iter ward of the Queen-mother Chris
tina. Alter the flight of the latter he allied
himself with the liberal party. In 1H42 a suspi
cion fell upon him of complicity in the revolt ot
Samgopsa, and he was compelled to Beck safety
by flight into France, whence, however, he the
n'xt j ear returned to take his seat in tho Cortes,
to which he had been chosen. On the return of
the Queen-mother he reaped the reward of his
fidelity by receiving at her hands bis title of
nobility, aud the honorary appointment of Gov
ernor of Madrid. He was sent at the head of an
expltionary force to suppress an outbreak in Cata
lonia; but again came uuder the suspicion of the
Government, and a second time was compelled
to si ek rarefy by flight. When the Crimean war
broke out be enured the Turkish service and
won distinction, by his conduct of affairs in Silis
tria. He was appointed in 1861 to command the
Spanish contingent of the torce sent to Mexico
bv tho triple alliance; but on discovering the
ulterior designs of the French Emperor, with
drew with his command Irom the expedition.
Ho returned to Spain by way of the United
States, and made a visit to tho Army of tho
Potomac, then on the banks of tho Chlcka
hominy. It will be remembered that in a letter
written at that time, and subsequently in a me
moir on the American aimv, of which a transla
tion was published in New York, he expressed
great admiration cf the military abilities of
General McClcllan and of tho fortitude and en
durance ot the army.
THE SCENE OF OPERATIONS. 1
General Prim's friends aver that tho district
Prim now occupies is a battle-field of his own
choice. It is near Villarubia de los Oios that the
rebel general possesses that country-house and
those vast hunting-grounds which' were his
favorite haunt and delight lor many months in
the year. There is not a span of earth through
out that wild and lonely Mancha that is not as
familiar to him as the play-eround of his boy
hood. There is not one of the hinds and boors
of that dreary region that Is not as devoted to
him as a lo?ier brother. If he choose to play
hide an-1 seek with his enemies, or to carry on
a harassing guerilla warfare against them, that
is the very spot and those the elements that will
enable him to hold on for months. South of the
Toledo mountains a climate reigns that knows
no winter, and the land which, with the favor of
the inhabitant, would supply stores Just sutli
cient lor him, would starve any other troops.
The O'Donnell Revolt of 1854.
SERIOUS REMINISCENCES.
raris (Jan. 10) Correspondence of London Times.
The Spanish Embassy here are calculated to
puzzle rather than to enlighen. For three or
lour days Piim has been in lull retreat. The
first day he went to Aranjuez, not far from Ma
drid; from Aranjuez to Guenca, due east,
towards the point where the boundaries of Lower
Aragon and Valencia meet, and which must be
about seventy-eight miles from his Btarting
point. The second day, still according to the
official despatch, he started back at an acute
angle to the southwest, ani reached Cludad
Real in hot haste towards the Sierra Morena;
that is, over eighty miles from Aranjuez; and
the third day, retreating still more hurriedly, he
is found at a considerable distance on his way to
the Portuguese frontier. It may bo so, but it far
exceeds in rapidity the celebrated march of
Xenopbon, who knew something about retreats.
As I have already observed, Prim may be a
fugitive abandoned by bis men, as the oflicial
despatches announce, but I have a vivid recol
lection ol the revolt in 1854, headed by O'Don
nell, who, like Prim, began with cavalry; and
the coincidence ot the accounts given of the
movement of the two is woudertully similar.
In announcing O'Donnell's revolt the official
despatch from Madrid stated thatGeneralDulce,
O'Donnell's principal associate, was degraded
lrom his rank aud honors; that martial law was
proclaimed in Madrid, and a military commis
sion, superseding the civil authorities, appointed ;
that a column ot troops had sallied out to crush
the rebels, w bo were posted at Alcala de Her
rares, nar the capital; that the troops were
enthusiastic tor the Government (of Sartorius),
ani that his success was certain.
On the 3d of July we heard from Madrid that the
insurrection had utterly failed; that it was ex
clusively military, and that the population took
no part hatever in it. The same day the tele
graph stated that an encounter had taken place
between O'Donnell's bands and the troops; that
the loss ot the former was very great; the garri
son was faithful; Madrid was profoundly tran
quil; tbe defeated rebels were returning to their
allegiance; tho news from the provinces most
satisfactory, and the remnant of the rebels were
escaping townrds Toledo.
The day following we were Informed that the
troops aud rebels were fin front ol each other a
few miles outside of Madrid; that the tight had
not jet commenced, but that the success of the
troops was beyond doubt.
The next day we heard that tho Queen had re
viewed tho troo.b in the Prado, and was received
with unbounded enthuMa'm by the army and
the people: that by royal decree Generals O'Don
nell, Roa de Elano, and Marino were degraded
from their otiices, titles, and decorations; that
the tioojs had again attacked the rebels with ad
vantaee; that tho latter were in full retreat; that
the disloyal officers and men had returned to
their allegiance; Madrid was profoundly tranquil,
and the test ot the insurgents were seeking re
time in the mountains of Toledo. The H'reuch
Monittir confirmed the intelligence, and ob
served that, if O'Donnell s -object had been to
draw the troops from the capital witn a vif w to
tho rising of tno population, it Lad failed, lor tne
population coutiuued prolouudlv tranquil.
tin thotiih of July it was announced from
Madrid tbat the Rebels were at Aranluez, a
column was about to march out to attack them,
relntorecinenw were coming in to the Govern
ment lrom all quarters, Madrid was perfectly
tranquil, and that nowhere was there any sym
pathy lor the traitors.
Ou the 7th the MoniUiur aajn announced
the tranquillity of Madrid; and the RuboH, more
disheartened, were still lallini? back before the
troopn, .. , . , ..,)'
On thr 2d, tho Madrid. GateUe anno'unoed that
the Quen hart conferred on the colors of the
regiments ol Cocnca the cross ot St. Ferdinand,
and that the genrais who had distinguished
tnemselves tn the "glorious action of Vicalvaro"
had been named Grand Crosses ot divers Orders,
and the Governor of Madrid, at the same time,
proclaimed that the' insurgents were in fall
retreat, and the private soldiers who had been
deceived by them were returning to their alle
giance and asking pardon for their crime. On
the 7th, Madrid despatches mention that the
rebels were flying to Madrilsjo and Mora; that
the royal troops were between Aranjuez and.
Tillasequilla; that they must certainly beat the
enemy should they come up with them before'
Itaining the frontier, and that profound tranquill
ity prevailed everywhere.
On he :utb and 11th it was the same; "the
country tranquil, the insurgents still flying or
deserting, the troops pressing hard upon thorn,
and General Serrano, who had joined the Rebels,
unable to gain anv one to his cause." This con
tinued till the 18th, when we alt at once heard
from San Sebastian and Perpignnn that the gar
rison of Barcelona and of San Sebastian had re
volted, and that General Zabala (the present
Minister of War, who is in hot pursuit ot Prim)
had put himself at the head of the insntreclinn
in the Baque provinces, and that the rising had
become general.
On the 20th a despatch acnon need that Madrid
had risen, troops and people joining; tbat the
1'riine Minister, Sartorius (Count St. Louis),
had fled; that the Ministry was dissolved; that
Saragoesa was up; that Espartero was named
chief ol the army of the insurgents, and that
General Zabala had Joined him. Finally "last
scene ot all, that ends this strange, eventful
history" tbe Madrid telegraph of the 31st sent
us word of the publication of a royal decree
reinstating Generals O'Donnell, Serrano,
Rob de Olano, Concha, Messina,! and Dulce
in all the honors, titles, rank, and dignity
from which they had been degraded a
few days before, and annulling all the
acta ol the Sartoriua Cabinet; that Esoar
tero had entered Madrid in triumph, and that
the Queen hud issued a mani'esto denouncing
her late Ministers as calumniators, who had con
cealed the truth trom her, naming Espartero
President of the Council ot Ministers, and the
late rebel O'Donnell and others td seats in the
Cabinet. The present revolt has begun like that
of O'Donnells; how It will terminate I do not
venture to say.
DYNASTIC A8SURANCES NECESSARY.
The deputation of the Senate appointel to lay
belore the House the assurance ot tne firm allo
giauce of that body to the cause of the dynasty
