4 SPAIN. ‘The Elections—Montpensicr’s Chances for the Throne—Interview Between Ex-Quesn Isas bella and Don CarlosThe Duke of Aosta— State of Affairs in the City, MADBID, Jan. 24, 1809, ‘The result of tye elections is already made known to you by the cable—the republicans in the ten dis- tricts of Madrid as one to five, and, on the whole, the monarchial party decidedly triumphant. The dif- culties of the situation are by no means lessened in consequence. A few days ago the general belief in Madrid was that the Duke of Montpeusicr waa likely w be the succesaful candidate, Many progresistas had gone over to his party and the government, it was said, would not give their influence to any depu- ty who did not vote for him. Yet at the same time it was known that Napoleon would not interfere with affairs here unless the choice fell on Montpensier or o2 & republic, and that the government desired to be on good terms with the Emperor was evident from the apparently trifling yet significant fact that ata dinner given by General Prim no diplomat was tn- yited but the French Ambassador, By aletter from Paris from a person whose au- thority is untinpeachable I am enabled w give you the particulars of the interview which took place between the ex-Queen and Don Carlos, The Queen wrote to the Prince desiring aa interview with him tn the Pavilion de Rohan. The Prince dectined go- ing there, but added that he would gladly meet bis royal cousin on neutral ground, and proposed that they should take a walk together. The Quedh con- sented; the carriages met as if by chance in a retired part of the Bois; the mmates descended; the King gave his atm to the Princess Marguerite, while Don Carlos offered his to the Queen and the two principal personages walked on first. ‘Then the Queen pro posed to Don Carlos that she should abdicate in favor of her son; that he should be named Regent during the Prince's minority, and that the Prince, when of age, should marry the daughter of Don Carlos (this young lady not being yet born). To this proposition Hon Carlos replied that he could not accept 1, hav- ing no right to prejudice the rights of his fully; that mf he were not a Caballero he might have accepted the proposal aud deceived the Queen, Which nothing would induce him w do; and thab the only offer he could honestly imake'was that were he to become King ot Spain the Vrince of Asturias should be educated by him as Infant, and aiways maintained in that dignity, AS iuight be expected, the result of tls taverview Was unsatisfactory, but the royal persons parted ap- parently on tie most friendly terms. Meanwhile nothing can exceed the intimacy sub- sisting between the inmates of the Tutleries and those of the Pavdion de Rohan, It is the Empress Who has recommended a@ French dustitutrice tor the young Iniantas. Ib is by the advice of the Emperor Uuat tne ttle Prince ts sent to the College oi St. Enatace (uot to that of Stanislas, as was at Orst proposed). Lmention these circumstances in sap- ‘port of my opinion that were it in the power of the Emperor isabel Segunda would be restored to her Kingdon, her deturonement being a dangerous pre- cedent for a)l crowned heads; that tnts restoration being next to umpossible under the circumstances Napoleon would gladly see the choice of the nation fail upon the iegitmate heir, the Prince of Asturias, But should he become convinced That this aiso ts ont of the question he will favor the pretensions of the Duke ol Aosta, the second son Oo: Victor Emanuel, Saouid this ase candidate be successful 80 surely will there be a civu war tn Spain, The Spaniards, as a nation, will not permit a foreign prince to rule over them. ‘T young man himself las no qualities wiuch can re der bim acceptabie. Plain and insignificant in p: won, a stranger to the iangui manners and cus- toms of Spain, his character still unformed, it can scarcely be beiieved that the government have seriousiy deliberated upon this proposal. As my Iriend C—— observed yesterday, he kuows nothing im his favor except that he has a charming young wife (the Countess de ia Cisterna) and that he has lately become the father of a fine boy. ~ Meanwhile, this sort of interim is productive of the worst effects, Most of the highest families have avandoned Madrid. The streets literaily swarm with The gambling houses are crowded by day aud by nignt. Boid looking women, loud tn their taik and indecent in their attire, parade the principal parts of the town. Fortunately, some de- cision must be come to before long. it 18 said that a challenge has mn sent by Mont- pensier to Don Kurique de Bourbon, the King’s brother, in consequence of an abusive article writ- ven by that crack-brained Prince against tae Duke. As Montpensier is uo fire-eater this newa is received with incredulity, Proclamation of the Provisional Government to the Spanish Nation. MADRID, Jan. 29, 1509, The Madrid Gazette publishes the iolowing pro- clamation, addressed by the provisional goverment to the Spanish natioa:— Liberal governments, of whom public opinion is the supreme judge, have to address themselves ja critical periods to that aaiue pubiic opinion, and, to avoid the displeasure of juntry, ty alier not obly their acts, but aiso their inten- provisional government has acted thus on several occa- Again it will do so to-day, an unheard-of crime havin, id all the genezous sentiments and revealed the ktod o weapous, schemes ani tendencies which the enemies of Mverty apd real order set in action in order that merely the suadow of liberty ove should be sustained, the assassination of the Governor of Burgos, bornble by reason of its accompanimenta, and sacrilegious on account of the veusn cecanon and the holy place wuere It was coin- Tuiited, aud Of ihe false and pertidious pretext employed to rovoke it, will be an indelible stain upou tas Spanish uation t upon itahould revound the opprobrium aroused oy those who, to carry out thelr sinister desires, did not besfate at secking to arouse tae troubles of eivii war, nor « from changing the words of charity and liberty, watch are portious of Christianity, into deeds of blvod and extermination, even ‘as waa done iu ibe ages gone by.
