SPAIN.
Effect of the Downfall of the French Empire
condition ol I ho Nation.
The J'all Mall Gazette has received from M.
Garrldo the following communication on tbe
situation of Spain, ns affected by the downfall
of the empire in France:
DISLIKE OF THE llON'APARTES.
A disliko of the Bonapartes, embittered by
the policy of the late empire, lias been a senti
ment common to all parties in Spain, exclu
sively of a few faithful adherents to the Uncage
of the cx-Wueen, aud has been as generally
strengthened by the war of France with Prussia
and the frivolous pretexts on which it was de
clared. We have all dreaded tbe possible
triumph of Napoleon, and bis bcinjr. tempted,
in the intoxicatiod of success, to appropriate to
himself tbe Balearic Isles, and to place on tho
throne of Spain the son of the dethroned Isa
bella. His defeats and shameful overthrow
have in a single day changed the prospects of
all parties here.
THE NEW REPUBLIC.
Our republicans have enthusiastically wel
comed tbe new Republic, which is a ground of
hope to them. The partisans of "democratic
monarchy" are inclining towards the same ob-
ects as this party; but the Government, which
fears to offend Bismarck, is preparing to resist
tbe republican revolution which appears immi
nent. Tbis attitude of General Prim is due to
1 he precarious circumstances under which the
French republic has sprung up. it that am
bitious General thought it were solidly estab
lished, no one in Spain doubts that he would
have proclaimed a republic at home.
PRIM'S POSITION.
Tbe situation of the General is as utterly false
a one as can exist. Tbe Republicans detest
him, and be knows it; the adherents of the Lib
eral Union not only bate, but despise him,
and he knows it. The Progresista
majority in the Cortes, which supports him,
knows well that it represents a minority in the
country, and ha lng no Progresista King in
whose name to govern, it opposes all the candi
dates who have any following, great or small,
and in tbis manner prolongs the interim, by
which course alone it can retain its power. The
fear of tbe Republican orators and of a possible
breaking up of the majority because some
members want Montpenster to be voted King,
and 6ome want reformed institutions to turn this
kingless monarchy into a republic restrains the
government irom convoKing the uortes under
these critical circumstances. It was agreed
on tbe prorogation of that assembly
in June that it should not meet again till the
1st of November, unless any extraordinary con
tingencies made it necessary; but a special com
mittee of nine members was nominated to con
voke it in such a case with tbe approbation of
the President and Secretaries of Congress. But
tbe majority of tbis committee consists of
friends of the Goverament. and in tho recent
deliberations has rejected the proposition of the
minority for the immediate convocation of the
Cortes. Tbe parliamentary opposition is not,
however, disheartened, and proposes to present
to the President a petition for the convocation,
signed by so many members that he cannot
venture toneglect it. It will be understood that
different parties will unite lc this measure with
different hopes and objects.
A CONFLICT IN THE STREETS.
lsdcpendently of the contemplated parlia
mentary struggle, all parties are preparing for a
conflict in tbe streets. They would all prefer a
parliamentary victory, but In their uncertainty
of obtaining it are reserving another resource to
themselves. All are conspiring against one
another, and in tbe Government Zorilla and
Sagasta, who are creatures of Prim, are con
spiring, each with his own objects, against the
democratic monarchists Kivero and Ecbegaray;
Serrano, as bead of tbe Liberal Union, and
Regent of the nation, conspires against Prim,
and Prim against Serrano. In the ranks of the
army and the navy the same opposed tendencies
are found as in the Government. If a conflict
in the streets should be raised, as seems likely,
by the Republicans, each of the parties in
the Government would endeavor to take
advantage of it in order to get rid of
the other; but the probabilities, in
the event of tbe Government's being
victorious, wouia do in tavor oi Serrano and the
Montpensierists, for the republicans, who pre
fer the actual state of thtngs fo a monarchy
unucr aiontpensier, compose ai present the
principal strength of Prim and the Progresistas
as opposed to the Unionists under the Regent.
Between Prim and Serrano the former would be
nearly disarmed If the Republicans were routed.
This event might therefore lead to the triumph
of Montpensier and a monarchical reaction. On
tbe otber hand, a Republican victory would be
followed by the arming of half a million of men,
to place themselves at the side of tbe French
republic. This is what the Republicans main
tain at their meetings and in all their journals
and manifestoes. What chance of success
have they in a conflict? If they raise one
in Madrid it will be because they reckon al
ready on a considerable fraction of the army;
besides which, the citizens have many
thousands of good muskets, but tbe end cannot
be foreseen. But if they are successful in Madrid,
it tnav be depended upon that all Spain will
procluim the Republic. The municipal councils
of most of the important towns in the provinces
are Republican; and if the Government has not
yet put in force the new laws relative to tbe
provincial deputations and aiuiUamu-uto8 voted
by the last Legislature, it Is becaase they feared
that the majorities would prove Republican,
and not only in the provinces but in Madrid
also. The Republicans have hitherto reckoned
on gaining power in a constitutional way, and
would not have prepare 1 for arms It It had not
brcn for the extraordinary events in France,
but at the present moment they are urged to
action by their sympathy of race and party, and
at the same time by tbe instinct of sell-defense.
ATTITVPE OF PORTUGAL.
Such being the situation of things in Spain, It
is thought that Portugal will follow the move
ment which prevails in that country. The
reigning dynasty has lost all it prestige; and
tbe breath of a revolution in Spain would sweep
away the Braganzas after the Bourbons. Not a
shot would fired to rescue them at home: and
we do not expect England would waste money
or lime on their behalf.
rilAYIXG BY RULE.
A Berne In the (Jmhedral at Roueo.
In the Cathedral of Rouen, writes a London
7'iligraph correspondent, one group of sup
pliants presented a sight which was none the
less pathetic because a heretic or a philosopher
nliiht have deemed it ludicrous as well. In
the left transept Is a chancel dedicated to Our
Lady ol Sorrows. To that place of sacrificial
grief came a string of women, who, before
kneeling down in adoration, went to a business
like old dame at the left corner of the altar and
bought a candle. Tho old lady really kept a
chandler's shop. Her wares varied in thlckucss
and length and price, some being as thin as a
rush, aud scarcely a foot in length, while others
were as thick as an ordinary taper, and
a couple of feet long. Some could be
bad for ten centimes, others for
twenty, a third set for tweuty-nve, and what
I may call the premier eclasse for half a franc.
Each suppliant had a choice proportioned to the
depth of her devotions or the length of her
purse. Tbe lowest .quality gave so flickering nd
feeble a light that perhaps it might suggest un
pleasant doubts to timid worshippers; nt least
one determined young woman first lighted one
caudle and then another before she was satisfied.
The majority of thp worshippers, however,
meekly paid their copper coin and left the aged
vestal virgin to trim a votive taper of the lowest
power. Only one suppliant had been so ex
travagant as to pay fitly, francs, and her token
of faith towered above all the others like a
Matterhorn above the lower Alps. The by
standers could easily measure the several
lengths of the illuminated prayers, because, in
tbe most business-like fashion, each was stuck
on an iron spike which jutted out from a table
covered with lead. While the candles were
burning tbe suppliants were engaged in prayer,
and tbe solemn silence was broken by the hor
rible persistency with which the old candle
woman counted her coppers, making them
chink, chink, with sacrilegiously metallic ring.
Well, after all, it was a trade which the poor
old woman had pursued day by day, perhaps,
for a generation, and long familiarity with the
handling of sacred things is apt to breed painful
contempt, or what looks like contempt, even
in the very midst of the sanctuary. And if in
the laying of the candles before kneeling down
to pray there seemed a ludicrous and even a
horrible element of paganism, after all, every
religion has symbols which are open to criti
cism. Irreverence itself would be silenced
before such a group of suppliant women, who,
with souls darkened by that shadow of (be Angel
of Death which is passing over this stricken
land, had come to lay breaking or broken
hearts at tbe feet of Our Lady of Sorrows.
