G TEE DAILY EVENinG TBLEGKAm PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1868. Ite.Teiatlon In Spanish History. Tnt following review bj the London Attienantm t)f a collection of letters, despatches, and state papers relating to nepotlatloca between Eng land and Spain, preserved In the archives of Simnncas and elsewhere, eilted by G. A. Bergenroth, and recently pnbiiahed In London, contains some curious and Interesting infor mation: Among the scholars eraploscd under lord Bomilly In rakln? up from many qnarters the neglected materials lor a true history of England, no man has done his work mote bravely aud thoroughly than Mr. Bergenroth. Tuts itontle man was certainly lucky In the mine which he had to explore. Bimancas was unusually rich In ore; and so lar as Etiglibs story Is concerned, It was all but virpln ground. In the old castle of Slmnucas lie the secret reports of what was being said and done In the English Court at a time when the Knt'Uah Court was England Itself, In years before the ltefbrraation took Flace; especially to as to the coming In of the ufunta Katallna, commonly called Catharine of Aragon. as to hrr marriage with Prluce Arthur, her cHrly widowhood, her second courtship, her married life as Queen, her trial and divorce and thinjzs which followed clo?e on these events Mr, Bergenroth has turned his great opportunities to very good account. In two volumes of Calendar, and In one Tolume of Supplement, he has opened these old state secrets for forty years from the day of llosworth field down to the date of Catharine's quarrel with Wolsey, when tUo proud C trdlual hist supRested to the King a doubt of his mar riage being good In law. For the first time we ere what kind of men aud women many of these rulers were. Harry of .Richmond we knew, since his portrait had been drawn In immortal prose. These letters deepeu the Hues and heighten the color of Lord Bacon's portrait of KiDg Henry, but the portrait remains un changed in either outline or tint. Not so Fer nando, Label, and Charles the Fifth. Oflheso princes we have now in our hands a new set of studies; aud in future we shall need to have new portraits painted of these princes for our gallery of great men. On two points of singular interest we meet in these Calendars with a surprise, which aaiouuts to a shock. In the first place, Mr. Bergenroth finds reason to believe that Queen Juana of Castile, the Crazy Jane of romantic art, was not mail; and, iu the second place, th;it her sister, Catharine of Ataou, was, durinsc her residence at the Enalieb. Court, as a young widow, not altogether blameless in her private life. These curious points are worked out In a Sup ph went to the Calendar, whereby hangs a tale. Years ago, when Mr. Bergenroth, was in the early stage of his work of reading and copying these secret records, he began to suspect that certain papers were beta? withheld from his eight, and though he could not guess how many, he conld fairly gues with what purpose. Having sought in vain to get from the men at Bimancas free access to the collection in their charge, he weut to Madrid, saw ministers, and tried to persuade them that the throne of Spain could not be shaken by the publication of a few letters written four hundred years ago. Minis ters smiled, but Bpnin is a slow country; years elapsed, and the Calendars were printed, before the orders from Madrid were practically obeyed at Simancas. and the papers, heretofore with held, were laid on the ta'ile. Mr. Bergenroth saw at a glance that his work required iu many points to be recast. Partial views had been taken, faults of character had been suppressed. He had been ltd to form a higher opinion of Isabel the Catholic than she deserved. He had been induced to pass by tome of the worst traits of Fernando. He had been absolutely deceived as to the ttory of Queen Juana. He had been purposely kept in Iguorane ol a charge made by the fepani-h ambassador against Catharine, Princess of Wales. What was he to do? All these matters touch us nearly; most of all tbo matters of Queen Juana and Princess Catharine. Juana came within a thought of being Queen ot England; and Catharine's troubles were con nected with the awakening of our religious life. Mr. Bergenroth had no choice. With all their faults, his Calendars were in type, and he was bound to add in a Supplement the new matter, which corrected all that was amiss. The new matter, being very curious and of great moment, he has given at full length; printing the original records, with a translation ot such as are in old Spanish. It was found im possible, however, to put the whole of these papers Into plain English speech. Borne part of Fray Diego's correspondence has been veiled In Latin, for men of science. As every one knows, nenry the Seventh, rather late in life, proposed to marry Juaua, the young and beautiful Queen of Castile. It W uni versally supposed that when he offered oil haud to Juana she was mad, and that the Kiug knew she was mad. Hence much odium has been heaped on Henry's head. On this subject Mr. Bergenroth has found hundreds of letters from Queen Juana, Irom her mother, from her son, from her daughter, as well as from her jailors and domestic priests. All these letters he has printed in full, so that the evidence on. which he rests his new opinion is before the world. His inference from the facts is, that she was not really insaue; her conflneiuent being the result of a plot between her father aud her son to rob her in the inte rests of a great political purpose of tne rights which belonged to her by birth. If this be a true report of the a flair, it Is a tale to beat the wildest romance of modern fiction out of the field. Fernando and Isabel having clo'ed the era of civil war in fepaiu by a marriage which united the crowns of Aragon and Castile, and having vastly increased their power by driving the Moorish dynasty from Urauada, nursed the , patriotic hope of leaving all these crowns, inherited by birth and won by the Bword, on a single brow. They bad only ooe sou, trie bIckIt Don Juan, whose flickering flame they had the misery to see waste away and finally expire. Leaving no issue bf his own, J uan bequeathed his rights to bis lovely sister Juaua aud her little son, Don Carlos. Now, as Queen Isabel was sickly, Juaua wa sure to succeed as Queen ol Castile, while Fernaudo still reigned in Aragon; so that Spain ran the rskof being divided into two pnat kingdoms of the north, as of yore, with the chance of a fierce contest as to who should rule the newly-conquered kingdom of the Moors. Out of this difficulty Fernando Baw one way, and only oneway: Juana must be sacrificed. If, on auy pretext whatever, the princess' rights under the law could be set aside, so as to permit Fernando to porcrn all these Btates and territories until bis crandson, Don Carlos, was of uge, Spain might become a nation. How could her rights be set aside? Her birth could not be gainsaid; and her title being above debate, it was certain thai when her mother died she would be proclaimed Queen of Castile by the estates of that kingdom. How could she, being Queen, be hindered from netting up her own court, her own council, her own government? Iu two ways: the membesr ot her family might represent her as unsound In faith; and they might represent her as un sound in mind. Either would be a dreadful thing for a man to do against his child; but the King bad no conscience; and his desire to see his country governed by one head was the ruling passion of his life. To make the game certain, he adopted both these wajs; at first making a charge of heresy, afterwards a charge of insanity, and sustaining these abominable imputations by the singular and terrible inven tions of 'the urj buried corpse. Few things in tory are so dramatic as this tale. There may have been something in Juana's conduct to suggest the policy adopted by her unscrupulous father and her diabolical son. From girlhood she was pious, but her natural piety was not of the fashion most liked in Spain, hbe was neither gloomy nor slavish In mlud; she had no love for her mother's inquisitors; nay, she refused to confess her girlish thoughts te men who came into her presence reeking from Acts of Faith. For these offenses she baa suffered much. Her mother bad given her own to the friars, who not ouly put ber uuder severe restrain but had actually stretched her by the cord. The fact ii now proved, though it seems incredible. Isabel it generally thought to have been an indulgent mother; but we are now beginning to see more clearly into that I irld household in Medina del Campo. fberelsco doubt about the young Infanta having been Jut to the tord, Je Jlarqul oi Put titles it, not as a charge agA'nst Isabel, but as art i ordinary thlne-entlrely to her cicdlt as a Christian Queen. .... Alter Juana's marriage with Philip, Archduke 01 Austria, she was accused "by her family of leaning towards the new learning. They advised her to take a Spanish monk into her confidence. She knew that such a Father would be a spy. and she declined their Rift. They said, and truly, that the was growing to be rather French in ber religions sentiment; and It was repeated to ber dlpparaeement that she preferred a doctor from Paris rather than a friar from Valladolid about her court. Juana met these charges with a patient smile. Hue had nothing to say in answer. She neither defended her conduct nor changed her confeesor. Philip was not much of a bigot; he seems to have respected, aud even to bavo loved, his wife; but he was poor in purae, fond ol show, devoted to pleasure, and longing to thrust his hands Into the teeming coffers of Castile. In Philip's poverty ani splendor Fernando found allies against his wife. When Isabel died, Fernando seized the reins in Castile; asserting that his daughter, the new queen, was incapablo of governing her fclate, and that the late queen had willed him to continue the government as before. Fer nando spread a report that Juana was not only Insane, but that she was kept a close prisoner by ber husband in the Low Countries. Philip piotebled against these calumnies, both of w bich he charged npou Fernando iu person, not without cause; and to justify himself by facts, eet out for Castile In company with his lovely and spirited wife. At first Fernando threatened to resist his entry Into Spain; aud when Philip refused to stand back, ho proposed to rash at him, like a Castiliau bravo, with capayipada with cloak and sword. On seeing with how much enthusiasm his daughter was received by her people, a new idea struck him. Juana was popular; Philip was not popular. In such a fact he saw his chnicc. Philip was not only a etrsneer, wishing to put his bands into Spanish coders, but was suspected by many people on account of thoe rumors, false In the main, of his having ill-used their Queen. Now Ferdando sought an ally in Pnilip against Juana. Such a combination was not hard to bring about, for Philip, a man of coarse tastes, greedy of gain, ambitious in a bad sense, cared very little for his young wife, the mother of his heir. Don Carlos, and very much for a bevy of fat Flemish beauties who pestered his court, and cost him a great many doubloons. If Philip could be supplied with money for his pleasures, backed by a promise of power and snow, be would not bo the man to haggle about terms, especially with his wife's own father. Knowing this welt, Fernando sent word to Phil'p that a party, headed by the famous Don Bemaldiuo de velaeco, Constable of Cas tile, was arming to expel them both, and to set up their Queen Juaua as the sole ruler of ber kingdom. Cardinal Ximeacs, the bearer of this n essaee, was to propose an Interview between the two princes, at which they might consider the means of a common derense af-ainst Velacco; in other words, they were to contrive how they could best rob the Queen of her just rights. Ximenes was the man to manage such a treaty, and when Pbilip consented to meet his father-in-law for a secret parley, the Car dinal arranged the dotaiK The two kings met at VlllafaQla; Philip dashing ud in front of a troop ol horse, Fernando trottins; meekly on a donkev. They entered the village church alone. Those keeping watch at the door could hear their voices, bat not their words. Fer nando spoke much, and in a deep, charged voice; Phlip roused, uneasy and perplesed; bnt their talk, though it lasted long, came to what Philip thought a happy end at last. The King of Aragon seemed vety humble in his presence: and, with the exception of the young Queen's insanity, gave way to him on almost every point. Fernando insisted only that his daughter was mad, and therefore unfit to reign. It was a curious scene, that in the small white village church; alike in the cload of Castllim horsemen, lountring outside in the sun; in the string of humble asses; in the crowd of eager listeners, who conld not catch a word; In the sly old man and the mock-brilliant youth; in tbe Gospel open before them on the communion table; in tho papers of agreement to which they occasionally put their hands and seals. In this church ot Villafaflla, so kindly provided lor them by a cardinal, they arranged that Philip was to have, so long as he lived, a great deal of money and power, and that Queen Juana should be declared Incapable of coverning her estates. In tact, Philip was to rule as Ring Consort as long as he Hoed. Poor Philip I The two princes bound themselves first by oath on the holy Gospels, afterwards by treaties properly drawn aud signed to take charge of tbe Queen's per--son, and to resist by their united forces any attempt to set up a government in her name. These secret and iniquitous treaties being siened, Fernando made two moves in his game - one of which explained why he had gone to Villafafila on a donkey. First, he called Alma zan, the apostolic no'.ary, to bis closet, and told him that, in going thuougb the country without his guard, he had fallen into the bauds of Philip, at the head of a irreat force, and been compelled to eien a treaty which his soul abhorred. ' Tbe archduke, he added, was a tyrant sui usurper, who kept the queen, bis wife, a nrisoner: but havine. for his own part. escaped Irom Philip's power, he wished to make a solemn protest agalust the treaties which he had been made to sigu, and to declare that he could never consent to his daughter being deprived of her liberty aud her crown. Almazan inado all this known in Home aud in f iendly courts. Then Fernando took leave of bis children, as he called them, Philip and Juana, exhorting thera to love each other, and to live together in peace, as a good husband and wife should do. Then he sailed for Naples, in oidt-r to show the whole world that his words were sincere, and tbat he would not meddle any more with ufl'airs ot government in Ca6tlle. Before leaving for Naples, Fernando sent a secret agent, one Moses Ferrers, to Philip; and one week alter his arrival at court, Ph. lip was dead. No one doubled that he had beeu poi soned; no one doubts it now. A few weeks alter leaving VillafaBIa on his donkey, Fernando reaped tho sole advantage of that treaty which he had signed and denounced. His daughter whb considered insaue. aud iucanable of ruliue. '. He was the administrator of her kingdom in tbe interest ot his giandson, Carlos, atterwards to be known as Chailes the Filth. From this time, Queen Juana was a prisoner flrbt in the hands of her fathr, afterwards in the hands ot her con. By order of these princes she was shut up with her jailors aud her priests she was never allowed to see the outside worid the was not sufiered to speak with a strange person she was carried through the country in midnight (ourneys she was condemned to the conipanionship of her hus band's corpse. Even ot this last horrible detail there seems to be hArdly any doubt. No evidence is found in these state papers that Juana volun tarily clung to the dead body ot Philip. Some evidence to the contrary is found. The dead body was the instiuraenl by which Fernando andChailcs Imposed on the ienorant Commons an idea of the Queen's madness a midnight cortege, with lut.erul torches and trains of monks being no bad contrivance tor impress ing tbe Imagination or a superstitious and romantic people. Philip's body was kept for many years in a chapel of the Convent of Santa Claia. J nana very often expressed a wish to visit the couvent. She never once, of her own will, desired to see the chapel, much less the corpse. In tact, tbe whole atlair would seem to have been a fraud, and Crazy Jane a fictitious figure, invented by Fernando, and continued by Charles tbe Fifth. On the second subject illustrated by these Simancas papers the private life ot Catharine of Aragon as Princess of Wales we are in clined to think, and we feel happy in being able to say It, Mr. Bergenroth has not been so successful as in the first. He found evidence in 8 pain which certainly seems to imply tnat Catharine led a lire at the English Court, after Prince Arthur's death not altogether free from reproach. Ills case appears at first sight strong. Papers are kept back from blin at Simancas. The fact creates suspicion. Tbe documents withheld from his sight mud contain something black. WberTbe gets hold of them, he fiuda tbat tbe matter is black no less than a charge, made openly aud more than once, by the Spanish ambassador in London, that Catharine, in her conduct towards her confessor, a monk of loir birth and bad reputation, is behaving as an honest woman should not do. Hi, Bergemotfc, it aeemj ft us, jnlgfct Trj well be startled by such a piece of neM., TbU was no ordinary ..caudal, like the maoy lu fa mous stories told against Queen Ulir.dbath and Mary Queen ot Scots, which - could be fairly Im puted to political and reiitlous hate. It was not tbe invention of apolitical enemy, of a religious rival. True or laUe, the accusation was launched by one of Catharine's qvu country men; by an Official person, who wa her father's setvant. It was not given to the world; it was not meant to do her harm; it was reported to her own tarents only, and In a confidential cipher. Whether, true or false, the rep-irtof unbecoming co'iduot on Catherine's part was evident!? considered by the Spanish archlvUts as damaging to tbe fame of their royal house. Yet, despite all these appearances against her, we consider the Princess Catherine to have been more siuned against than Bin ning. Ilr confe'sor, Father Fernandez, was one of thoe proud and Ienorant monks of her country who exalted their oflice beyond all hounds. He thought himself the first man lu the Princess' household; and when Fuensal.da, Knight Commander of MembrilU, came to Loudon as Spauish ambnador, the proud monk and the haughty hidalgo began to spar. Fuensallda could not bear the fellow's Inso lence. Fernandez took his own course with bis penitent; so that the ambassador soon found his relations with the Princess anything bat fleasant; At first Fuensallda complained to he King his master that Father Fernaudez exercised a bad influence over his dauehter, and recommended that he should be recalled from a post which ho abused. Catharine took the con lessor's part in this quarrol calling the Father her best friend and wisest councillor in her troubles, and throwing the blame of everything that was wrong on the ambassador. Then, Fuensalida threw out hints that the monk was abusing the confidence of his mistress in more ways than one. In fact, be raid, the Father was a bad man, guilty of many sins, and that the Princess waa not much better than the monk. Of what Fuensalida meant to suggest there can be no doubt whatever; and the Spanish archi vists appear to have thought that papers which contain these details were unfit for the eyes of English heretics and. enemies. But we think they prove no more than that an unseemly quarrel took place between a Spanish 'riar aud a Spanish ambassador; that these eminent per sonages abused each other In good set terms; and that in their bate and violence they pre sumed to hint at things about the royal lady, whose honor It was their duty to guard from evil tongues, for which they had no grounds. We think the papers now produced prove nothing worse against Catharine than a good deal of haste and temper: and we rejoice to think that this scandalous Imputation on her credit comes to us, not from an English source, but from the royal archives and secret ciphers of her native land. Tbe Origin of 1'orcelnln. An apothecary's aes'stant at Berlin, John Frederick Boltcher by name, being suspected ot alchemy, fled thence to Dresden, where the Elector, believing him possessed of the secrets of the tranemutatiou of base metals, and their conversion into gold, placed him In the labora tory, and uuder the close surveillance of Tschirnhaus, who was seeking for the universal medicine. It was here that the contents of some crucibles, prepared for alchemical purposes, unexpectedly assumed the appearance of Orien tal porcelain, which had been introduced Into Europe from China, after tbe voyage of the Portuguese navigators around the Cape of Good Hope; and which was even then much prized by and only in possession of tbe wealthy. Augustus II appreciated the importance ot the discovery of Botteher, and removed him to the Castle Albrechtsburg, at Meissen, where, with an officer as a constant attendant, he was pro vided with every comfort and luxury, and with every facility for research, till in 17US tbe white porcelain was produced; and in the succeeding jear tbe great raanutactory at Meissen was established, with Boucher as director. Tho secret thus discovered. was carefully and jealously guarded; strict iiJ auctions with re spect to secrecy were enjoined upon the workmen. The establishment in the castle was a complete fortress; the portcullis raised neither day nor night; and no stranger allowed to enter, whatever the pretense. The chief inspector and all under him were sworn to the closest silence, with the punishment of imprisonment tor life attached for divulging aueht connected with the manufacture. Every where around the establishment was the warning motto "Be Seciet until Death." Despite these injunctions and precautions, and even before Bottcher's death, which oc curred in 1719, one of the foremen escaped from the manufactory, and, going to Vienna, was cordially received by Charles VI, and granted the exclusive privilege ot manufacture for twenty-five years. Thence the process, so long a secret, spread over Europe, and the art, relieved from its crampiog restrictions, and with the Incentive ot rivalry among various manulac urers, assumed its proper imp rtance, and made its products available to all classes. h oan'a Archucc'u rai Review.
