He may thank his lucky stars that his counsel, (truth to tell somewhat backed up by popular feeling,) was so well up to the case and the how to manage it. This compounder of fulminating hand-grenades has bad a narrow escape, and, though the connecting evidence was not enough to convict in England, there was sufficient proof of his complicity in Bel giom. His admirers—and their name is legion, which includes all dissatisfied refu- gees—essay to make out that he was the inno- cent tool of the misguided Orsini. One reason they give for the non-production of Rudio is (whom the Star is still hunting up for the Waterloo Bridge mu- tilation mystery) that the Freuch police are in pos- cession of a letter found on him in Mr. Bernard's handwriting, which is to the effect of engaging him in the matter of an Italian insurrection.

Mapnim, April 11, 1858. | Fusion in the Royal Family—New English and French Ministers to Spain—Higher Character Required for Foreign Diplomatic Agents— Alfonso Escalante on the Absorption of European Colo- nies in America by the United States—New Law Respecting the Press—Politwal Excitement—The Spanish Navy. Within the last ten days there has been a cry of fusion, and so loud has it been in the cafes and so ) earnest through the periodicals, that at last it has been taken up in the Cortes, and there officially de- clared to be without foundation. The meaning of the word is the blending of pretensions to the ; throne ; and the end said to be proposed is for a re- | gency of Narvaez, the chief of an imagined tri- umvir, one of whom shall represent the hopes of Don Carlos; another, in the person of the King, to represent his wife Isabella II. She, the most scan- dalized of women, is to be allowed the opportunity thereby of going into private life, of leaving her country and people, the only country and people she ever saw; she, very Spanish as she is, with more head than the rest together, is to withdraw, say into France. This thought, so pervading at the moment, so improbable and difficult of realizing, receives a value from the liberalists highly exagerated, who press a change in the Cabinet, believing that the government must fall into the hands of either O'Donnell or Narvaez. Either case will produce be- fore long a revolution favorable to the common liber- ties. The hope of two countries—the possibility of a union of the reigning families of Portugal and Spain to produce a common monarchy and renew the ancient Iberia—the fusion nearest the hearts of the best of both kingdoms, seems now a policy not practicable. The torpedoes of Orsini have had a far spread desolating effect. If they did not lay the Bo- naparte in the dust they have had their de- structive consequences here. The British Am- baseador, so popular and beloved, has been displaced by the new English ministry that has sprung up out of that enterprise. The Marquis of Turgot, too, the celebrated French am- baseador, to whom it is believed Bonaparte owes his first seating in an eminent degree, is at the point of recall, and the reason is supposed to be his suppor ot a party—that of Vicalvaro—and that he was par- ticularly known to, if not interested iu the affair brought to a crisis so triumphantly for absolutism in 1856 by the Count of Lucena, O'Donnell. The un- fitness for position, which is supposed to weigh against him now is the near prospect of tie ascen- Sacy, pabons in a few days, of Marshal Narvaez, whom it is said the great ais has been indus- trious to express an opinion on several public occa- sions of his unfitness for administrative life. This indiscretion, or perbaps a want of that f it im- ponte bs tye. a aes immediate re- turn of the Duke of Valencia to power, disqualifies the minister for this future; but if on the contrary Lucena should come to the government, it is probable that his Imperial Highness will forego | the necessity of a speedy diplomatic change. The tran n of Orsini has electrified even the offairs of this country. The diplomatic changes at the Court have awakened a new interest with the pe- riodica! press; and while in England there has been a call that those high "peo ax well as those of consuls should be filled by men on the average from better social positions and having a ter ability than formerly, in Spain it is urged that its representatives should be of a character more effi- cient than now and with acquirements more befit- ting the practical condition of the age. Spain, in the immense advances she has made within the Isst thirty years, it is not likely will leave this branch of her service unimproved. The courtesy | of the press in this country has not permitted it to reflect upon the monstrous neglect of self respect in this regard of other nations. these employments should be confined any longer to families and the merely distinguished in literature and learning: but that they should be bestowed upon those who have also the abilities, by their general acquirements and knowledge of men, to produce solid resnite, The America, & semi-monthly magazine of the capital, has just published, for the leading article of te Minister from Madrid to Washington, sur Words on the Political State of what anish America,” in which he gives a hist te of society and government out of which pears to be to bring those colonies planted by the Latin race into a union for the common benefit and protection against the more thriving and increasing jon of the North, whio& he thinks is virtually dy in possession of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and Panama and the transit of Nicaragua. Then he says, if the Powers of Europe that have islands in the Carribean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico do not unite for an intervention, their possessions will in- evitably be absorbed in time, longer or shorter, the farthest not distant; but that even at theis earliest movement now they will not be able to take part in the direct commerce between the Atlantic and Pa- cific oceans, only as it shall be allowed to them by the American republic fully commanding the chan- nels of trade. He considers the objects of the go- vernment of the United States to have been stated with distinctness by President Monroe, and with great frankness avowed by Mr. Buchanan, in the conference of Ostend as well since in accepting the principles of the platform of the convention that met at Cincinnati, and which lifted him into the chair of the Chief Magistracy. He recalls to mind that former policy of Spain, by which she suffered afterwards, as much from the people she assisted as the nation she injured. of the taking part with the United Colonies in their first war with the mother country which moved with the revolt of her own colonies when they were sustained by that republic, and supported by Great Britain in revenge, as Mr. Canning declared, for her past conduct A bill has been preseuted in the Cortes to change the law made at the last session requiring periodi- cals of every nature to deposit the amount of $15,000 to meet the ammount of fines that might be imposed on them by the tribunals: but the result will proba- bly be no more than a modification, requiring only the half of that sum at the capital and a less in the provinces, with the ability in the government, if it should at any time please to suppress entirely any paper after it shall have been thrice fined. Per it would bave been well enough to let this har nip go along with the rest of complaints unrelieved to be redresaed at the end of some future revolution.

Political Condition of Spain— Advancement of Ma- terial Interests with the Intellectual Culture—A Revolution Probable this Summer—A Bill of Rights for a Commonwealth—Royal Ceremony of Conferring Caps on Cardinals—Number of Ves- sels and Sailors in the Merchant Service—Assas- sination of the Deputy Verdugo, §&c. The surface of the political affairs of Spain conti- nues unruffied. The summer, which has long began at Andalusia, rises to the high lands gradaally, and while we hear of the festivities at Seville blessed by the presence and the balm of flowers, the chill of winter has not entirely left us yet. The Ministry continues on, Isturiz giving satisfac tion to neither extreme, his government being peaceful only. Such administrations give Spain time to think and to grow. She is purely herself still. She admits no dictation from abroad; as little from England as from France. The Queen, in the soctal quiet that pervades all her realm, has just gone to spend a few days in the shades and among the re freshing fountains of Araiguez: and peradventure, it is said, will go down on the new railway to Alicante to visit the sea. Spain is everywhere prosperous. Her colonies thrive, and her material interests at home advance. Confidence exists throughout. The banks are firm, the produce of the fields abundant, her mines active, and a thousand houses at her ca- pital are building or in a state of prostration for re. building. Thus the nation grows in strength with the intellectual improvement of the it will not appear strange if onder al! thix external of peace and of real prosperity there are deep poli- tical schemes on foot that on failure threaten to throw her back to an absolutism in her government such as existed under Philip II., or if successful to throw ber so far forward in a liberal career that she may come to be beyond her depth in an attempt to play out too soon the ré/e of a republic The ground beneath us is thought by the thonghtful to be mined, and even countermined, by those equally inimical to each other as they are also to the gov. ernment. The legitimists (the party of Don Carlos); that of the constitationalists, who want no constitu. tion; of the Queen, and that of the republicans, are the chief laborers; for the progresistas, numerous as they are, and vociferous from their many presses in proc vgn ty ey doctrines, are supposed, in their doubta, to in a state of physical suspension. It is difficult to say what may be the resnit. The exiled from the commotion of 1846 are returning home. A national junta which is no falsity has proclaimed its opinions in a public manifesto, se cretly circulated. However difficult of jadicially All that has been claimed for human oy is there distinctly asserted, and not more clearly the mea- sures that are laid in order to take place ia the event of another revolution. Deceived, it says, in all that has gone before, it now proposes, at the close of the next commotion, to establish a government purely from the people. Pitty Years of experience mst f suffice. All that is due to the sanctity of the past is fully paid. Throughout “ the State. like the horse of Attila, wherever it has touched, that soil has become sterile.” The bases, it declares, shall be the inviola bility of domicil and correspondence, the freedom of the press, liberty to associate and to meet without previous work without restriction, and religious freedom.

Coming from a man whose character isa tness and truth, such language as the fol- lowing is worth much at the present moment:—“Ma conduite sera toujours dégagée d'arridre-pensée; et je ne cesserai d'en puiser le mobile dans cette grande idée, qu’apres avoir en tant d’occasions de l'estimer en face, ou COté A coté, une alliance solide et darable entre deux grands peuples implique la condition nécessaire, qae Vhonneur de lun ne soit jamais sacrifié 4 Vhonneur de l'autre.” This is a dij tic creed as sound as it is simple, for there is no diplo- macy so successful as candid truthfulness. Duke of Malakoff has learned his statesman- ship in the camp, rather than in the cabinet and the Senate. His career, like that of his illustrious coun- tryman Soult, and that of our own Wellington, has strongly stamped itself upon his character. He is the frank, plain spoken soldier. Like these great heroes, he has also come out of the ordeal of war Jess scathed than most men who have beev similarly exposed to its dangers and hardships. Though from the age of twenty one he has been chiefly engaged in active military service, and thongh for the greater Pe of the time he was employed in most rrassing campaigns, he is now, at sixty-four, a strong’ hale man.

Side by side, and sharers in the common victories and common dangers of the Crimea, were the Duke of Malakoff, the Duke of Cambridge, and many other English soldiers and sailors of glorious name who met at the banquet of Thursday night; it was indeed a fitting and a — occasion Ce which to celebrate the cordiality of the Anglo-French alliance, and to indi- cate the trne method for maintaining it in solidity and perpetuity. The enthusiastic cheers with which the name of the Emperor of the French was received at the banquet is the best reply which could be given to the paltry journalists who have lately tried to misrep- resent the state of feeling in England towards his However much we may differ in England upon political questions, there existe not a man, except among the very scum and offscourings of the rabble, who does not see" in the sovereign of France the friend and well-wisher of England, and who does mt earnestly desire that he may long be spared by Providence as a bond of peace and amity between the two great nations.

If peace is maintained on the continent of Kurope during the next few , one principal object to which the policy of all European nations must be directed will be the developement of the Chinese trade. wee have as yet ie very much - the sare as to the real bearings o1 would, in- deed, be scarcely we much ihoort that until the very remarkable letters which were directed to this journal by the gentleman who acted as our corres- pondent during the late troubles at Canton there was littie information upon the subject. Now, Beet eb be teetied, tee saad popclaton are ready and eager to trade with us, provided we can offer for their acceptance such objecta as they would desire to receive in ex- change for the produce of their own soil. We have hitherto been separated by Chinese red-tapisin and by the evergy of Chinese moi lists fron the countless millions of China. The chief result which we must look for from the recent operations at Can- ton, is not the humiliation of a provincial Viceroy, nor the subjection of the rabble of a frontier town, | but the establishment of a larger and more impor~ tant commercial intercourse with China than any of which we have yet had experience. We must gain access to the heart of the country by the [ined streams which intersect its surface in every direc- tion—we must get into immediate contact with the people themselves, setting at naught the machinery of corporate bodies, of Mandarius, and of lecal ob- structions of every kind. How this is to be actually accomplished no same man would venture to dict with precision; but it is a turning point in the history of the human race, and if the peace of Europe is preserved it will probably be achieved by the present generation. ‘Already the chief nations of Europe, and the United States of North America, have seri addressed themselves to the solution of thia question. The forces of Great Britain and France but the other day were scune in conjunction in the Canton river with this object in view. Russia is now endeavoring to deal with the same mighty problem on the northern coasts of the Chinese empire, and at points of that ion of the Chinese inland frontier which lies contiguous to their own.

The en- tertainment was, no doubt, in one sense, a compli mentary one, and was intended as an indication that Manchester admired Sir James Brooke's chivalrous career in the Eastern Seas. The shrewd manufac- turers and traders present at the demonstration were, however, looking forward as well as back. The enthusiastic manner in which they received the remarkable man who was their guest clearly evinced the nature of their own feelings towards him: but Manchester has struggles of its own,and what could the reward.
