This brought sbout at Finpivaxn's denth tho bloody civil war of tho Carlista and Christin. ists, partisans respectively of Don Oanros and of Queen Mania CunisTiNa, tho Laby. Queon's mothor and Rogent. Finally tho Carlists wero dofeated and mado peace, the Cortes Laving mensuwhile supported Queen Tsanesta, and excluded in perpetnity the Car. list line from the throne. In 1843 Taaneraa's nfority was proclalmed, and sho uscend- ed tho throne. 'I'wo years Iater the question of her marringo was agitated, Four candidates for hor hand asppeared,— Don Oanros’ son, the Count be Moxte. oLy, backed by Russla; Princo LeoroLp of Cobonrg, backed by England; the Count pe Trapany, son of the King of the Two Blcilies, And Don Fnancisco ns Asus, her cousin, Louis Purniree, supported this last candidate, sud with his adroit, Minister, Guizor, Lrought about thofamous * Spanish marrdages” of Oct. 10, 1843, whon tho Queen married Don Prawcisco and her glster Mamta Luma married Lours Toieee’s fifth son, tho Duke nz Monr- rensier.
