Ine usual priviieges of cadets wil! not pear eavily upon the innocent if the really guilty ave manly honor enough to make a frank confession.

By special telegram letter from Madrid to London, and thence to New York through the Atlantic cable yesterday, we are enabled to continue our narrative of the swearing in and installation of Amadeus, King of the Span- fards, We say the installation, but in reality mo such ceremonial took place, for his Majesty was proclaimed ruler of the country the mo- ment after he bad taken the oaths of fidelity fo the constitution and acknowledgment of the Jndependence of the legislature, The Spanish {Cortes preserved its legislative integrity com- plete. Whether it may uso it hereafter asa con- ‘stitutional aid and support to the crown or for @ ultimate mastery of the monarch remains to seen. Our special writer resumes his #escription of the scene which was witnessed the Parliament House after the entry of the ruler elect. The young Italian was received rather coldly. He was attended by General Cialdini, of the Italian army, and surrounded ‘by Spanish officers of brilliant reputation and great personal worth. Despite of all this he emained embarrassed and nervous, it may be imid. He stood within the darkened memories pf the past of Spain—at the very dawn of an Mncertain future, Prim’s body was laid, atill unburied, before the altar; the crown of Ferdinand, which the Prince had assumed, was foo wide for his head ; the sceptre of Isabella unwieldy in his hand. He had come into the pos- flession of an azgregation of the implements and Insignia of royalty at the very moment when ‘the peoples of Europe have commenced to in- quire their exact uses and their cost. The @emocracy had already overhauled the cata- logue in the palace of the ex-Queen; so that, like to that unhappy Spaniard who has been already sung of by the British poet, he found fhat “‘his household gods lay shivered round him” on his very first day of occupation of a new alatial home. Personally the King of the Fras is not majestic looking. A New York lady would pronounce him “plain.” Perhaps @ would experience even the ‘deep damna- Sear of her ‘Bah, what a” person.” Wossdie pi Tohi Bull would prefer a “ring” hero uch as was the late Tom Sayers to him as a pan, while a more juve Briton would be wery-apt to exclaim that ‘fo Bart’'lemy Fair I }aw as good a king as that chap there.” .a All this counts for nothing, however. King ‘Amadeus rules over the Spanish nation. He Fules by the consent and at the request of the Bpaniards, The patriotic Serrano surrendered his power as Regent with dignity and grace. he road has been made clear and the ‘path ptraight” for the new executive. He will, we Woubt not, endeavor to prove himself worthy bf his royal mission. We hope he may suc- ed most completely and to the extent of his ery best wishes. Of all this the King is, we pre assured, personally worthy. Indeed, we pre convinced of it from the fact of his having shown himself so immediately as a kind Chris- Jian gentleman by the act of his visit to the fiora the widow Prim, and his gallant cock during the affecting interview which nsued, as it is specially described in our *pable telegram.

TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. ~~Loxpow, Jan, 11, 1871, Ihave this morning received another special tele- gram letter for the HeRaLp from Madrid, in which your correspondent in the Spanish capital continues his highly interesting narrative of the swearing in, popular proclamation and formal installation of Amadeus, King of the Spanfards. I proceed to transmit his account of the grand fee and vasuy important historical event, specially and verbatim, by the cable to New York. SWTARING IN THE KING—SCENE IN THE CORTES, Tne HERALD correspondent dates in Madrid on Vue 3d instant—in the evening—and writes by tele- graph thus:—I have tosay in continuation of my description of the scene which 1 witnessed in the legislative hall of the Cortes in this olty on the day Of installation of Amadeus as King of the Spaniards that General Cialdini, the well known soldier and diplomat of Italy, who came here with the King elect in the capacity of Ambassador Extraordinary of his Majesty King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, pre- ceded tho new monarch on his entry into the Par- Mament house, When Claldini arrived tt was made evident that the King was not very far distant. “MAKE WAY FOR HIS MAJESTY.” In a Jew minutes afterwards the heavy curtain which flows down tnside of the door was drawn aside and a crowd of Court ushers and mace and sceptre bearers entered. These offictals proceeded to clear the passages and aisles leading to the dals, and to see that every person was in his proper place and in proper trim. The spectators, ail of us, rose to their feet, each one more anxious than his neighbor in his curlosity to obtain a first sight of the “lion” of the moment. The Spanish Ministers and foreign diplomats fled in next. They were dressed in complete Court unt- form, and were marshalled at once to. the seats which had been set apart for their use. POLITICAL PARTY SPIRIT. Seflors Garcia and Ruiz were still the only repub- Mean members ot the Cortes present. The Carlists, the legitimists and the reactionists were absent from the chamber. Some little routine parliamentary duty was dis- charged, but no person paid any attention to the proceedings. All waited eagerly for the advent of the King. THE MOMENT OF ADVENT. At the hour of half-past two o’clock in the after- noon signs of bustle and excitement were observa- ble In the different corridors. The royal cortége had arrived in the building, * GENERAL CIALDINI. Almost instantly a tall, soldierly-looking man, wearing the Italian army uniform of a general, ad- vanced and edged his way into the box set apart for the members of the diplomatic body. This was General Claldini, the shrewdest statesman and best general of the Italian nation. . ADMIRAL TOPETE. Then I observed Topete’s bluff, weather-beaten sallor face, adorned with side whiskers. THE KING. Towering above all, a tall young man, blazing to scarlet and gold, makes his appearance. On his en- trance, at @ signal given from the galleries, there were rounds of applause uttered for “King Amadens.”” The cheers were joined tn Justily by all the Deputies who were present and by about one-half of the non-official spectators. The first cheers were followed by others for ‘King Victor Emmanuel’ and the “memory of Prim,” whose name appears just freshly gilded on a slab of stone above the door, and on the right of the President, in close proximity to those of the Palafox heroes of the 2d of May. The Speaker of the Cortes retained hia seat, He remained sitting during the proceedings, being the only one there who presente: in his own person the incarnation of the sovereign power of the legislative body. ‘rhe Regent Serrano walked to the lower step of the royal dais and took up his position on the left hand of the Speaker. ROYALTY AS IT APPEARED. King Amadeus followed. He came on without making a single bow or glancing one look of recog- nition in thanks for the appiause with which he was greeted. Awkwardly and slowly he mounts the stens of the temporary throne and stands on Zo- rilla’s right. The youthful Kiag looked tall and lanky, and as if he was “put together” after a very bomely sort of fashion. He has a rather resolute looking face. His cheeks and chin are covered with a curiy stubbie of beard of @ very uncertain reddish brown color. He looked, indeed, J at ¢ what the Illinois farmers oll “an ‘ordinaty, ‘ooking “cuss.” The King was dressed in the full uniform of Cap- tain General of Castile, Having arrived at his proper position he stood nervously agitated, looking to the ground, and seemingly ag if he had just found out that his hands were, by some means or other, exactly iu the way, He paused thts during a minute. The applause which hailed his presence having subsided, he, for the first time, looked furtively around the chamber hall, COURT OFFICERS. Quite a throng of aides and other followers of the court filled the spaces on the floor on his right hand and in the otner extreme of the horse-shoe enclo- sure which [ have already described in a first tele- graph letter. SERRANO'S RESIGNATION. Silence having been proclaimed by ushers the Regent of Spain, Serrano, rose and commenced at once to read from a manuscript mis address to the Cortes resigning the powers which the State had conferrel on him. He recapitulated briefly the leading events which bave just occurred in the re- ent history of Spain—the revolution of September, the convocation of the National Assembly, the mo- Narchical constitution which it framed, and how the Italian Prince was under and by virtue of tt elected as the rulerof the nation. Serrano continued to say that, “having been him- self elevated to the Chicf Magistracy, he surren- dered his authority into the hands of the King. He gave it up with a tranquil, clear conscience, ewasting calaily @he juagmont of his country, and feeling assured that that verdict Wonla come ra- pidly, All the trials which he had porne when in Power appeared as notutng in face of the approval which had been passed apon his conduct by the people, and the memory of which will remain en- grave in the inmost depths of his soul from this glad day” The Regent concluded his address amid rounds of applause and viras, Marshal Serrano never looked better than ke did on this occasion, He was more then royal in his bearing. THE DUCHESS, HIS WIFE. The Duchess (Serrano’s wife) was entranced with joy. Her great Inminous eyessparkied with emo- tion and a feeling of glad conscious pride in tae con- duct and bearing of her husband. EMBODIMENT OF AUTHORITY, T asked myself, and wondered how many of those presemt would contrast the tone and manner of Francisco Serrano withthe hesitation and nervous confusion of the. boy King, who stood on the other side of the chair of the; President, and inquire also of their own minds in marvel how Spaniards did come to bring an alien to rule over Spaniards while Spanish veins continue to bubble with blood as “blue” as any which coursed in the veins of the Cid. TAKING THE OATHS. After some little delay, and when every gentleman Present, no matter what his rank or office, having Temoved his hat, the Secretary of State read the constitution of Spain, Having finished the reading of the Instrument, tne President, who remained seated, said:— “The oaths of office will now be administered to the King elect of the Spaniards.” The President then gave hia silver bell a tinkle. It was precautionary as a warning to the King. The PRESIDENT said—‘You accept and swear to preserve the cause of the country as it has been preserved in the constitution of the Spantsh nation 7 ee ‘ayful cotnh sing commonplacta, His Majesty the King’ spoke to ver, but with Reale tation and after aconsi ‘erable dimculty of utters #nee, At length he arose (rom his s@gt and held both his hands forth to the Sellora Prin, who pressed them convutsiveiy, while Wtering deep soba, King Amadeus was overcome by ..43 own feelings. He left the room hurricaty, The poor woman then again rose fr WM her seas and threw herself tito’ Adiairal Topete's ants tn au uncontrollable fit of weeping. COMING TORTURE, * A worse trial, however, than # mtonaretts syn pathy 13 tn store for Generat Prim"s poor widow, for Tam assured that all the poets of Spaim have been Invited to contribate odes of condotence to her, whicn, of course, she will have to receive, and hear very many of them, at least, read’ in her prasence, The collected effusions of the Spanish poets will be formally presented to Sefora Pritain an’ elegantly bound volume, RESPRCT FOR THE PEOPLE, Having duly wished Sefiora Prim goodby,4 King Amadeus came to the grand porch of cutranceipt the building of the Ministry of War. Here he was cheered by the soldiers, and bowed a few times both to the troops and the populack tw acknowledgment, ‘ HOME. The King then remounted his charger and pro: ° ceeded to the valace by the very shortest roate, There were more banners streaming from the bal- conies as he passed along. The sun shone out again’ and lighted up the Puerto del Sol as he journeyed, ‘Troops were paraded atong the ent:re route, but no unusual degree of precaution was observed in the streets, The soldiery had, however, taken posses- ston previously of every unoccupied floor and place of lodging on the line of march, and at an ‘early hour sentinels remained stationed at the doors of of 1869, which you have now heard read.” AMADEUS, Who was looking about still as if for something to lay hold on, grasping the book of the Gospels severely in his hand, replted im a hoarse, husky voice, “I swear.” The PREsIpeNt—You swear to guard the cause of the people and the constitution, and to obey the laws of the realm of Spain. AMADEUS—I swear. The King should have added the words “I accept the constitution and swear to keep It, and to cause the constitution and laws to be preserved,” but he omitted allthis, Waving either forgotten the pro- gramme or the words of the Spanish language used in it which he had just acquired after much pains from Sefors Rulz and Zorilla. The PRESIDENT proceeded hastily, observing his embarressment, to say:—“If you do this God will reward you; if not, Me will require you to account for your oatn.’? * PROCLAIMED. The PRESIDENT then, still sitting, formally pro- claimed—“Amadeus the First, King of Spain and the Spaniards,” and gave the word “Viva.” The spectators responded by uttering a few and not very loud cheers, ROYAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT. His Majesty the King still stood on the dais, looking a3 «Wf he expected there was some- thing else to be done. suddenly it ap- peared as if the thought seemed to strike him that to bow his acknowledgment for the honor which had been conferred on him ana the respect which had been evinced towards him would not be atall out of place, Having his mind restored the King made a general and sweepingly comprehensive “duck’’ of his head to the assembiage, after the de- llvery of which he “headed”? for the door “right off” and in a very precipitate manner. THE CROWN AND SCEPTRE. Many of those who were present expected to he- hold him place the crown of Spain on his head and tomarch away with the sceptre of Ferdinand and Tsapella in his right hand, #fter the fashion of a drum major at band parade, They were disappointed. This, however, did not matter much to tne King, for the crown of Spain—a great, large, misshapen “bundle” of gold and jewels, with a ‘lining cap of velvet list—is about twelve inches too wide for the narrow forehead of the Savoyard. AT PRIM’S COPFIN. AS soon as his Majesty was well and clearly out of tne door of the hallof the Legislative Chamber he madea sort ol pilgrimage to the Church Atocha, where Prim's body was laid in funeral state. The King was deeply moved—as well he might be, and most fittingly—when he looked for the first time on the face of the man who had crowned him. It {8 not every monarch who can look on the counte- nance of his Warwick; his king-maker who had died before his enthronement. IN THE PALACE. From the tomb in the church Atocha King Ama- deus proceeded on horseback to the Palace. He dismounted at the grand portal and entered. STREET SCENES. ‘The snow ceased to fail, the weather had moder- ated considerably, and (he streew were again filled with people, LEWISLATIVE BUSINESS. To return to the Parliament, After tie conclusion of the brilliant ceremonial which I have just described the President of the Cortes delivered a short speech to the members who remained ty fa che. plist He announced “that their parliamentary inbers were ended for the session. ‘Ihe Constituent Cortes were dissolved. They had met in solemn deilberation and assembly, without a single day of recess or adjournment, for @ space of time extending over two years. The in- terregnum which had taken place tn the executive government was terminated. Spain has now @ king.” So much for what passed in the Constituent body. The show which was beheld outside was a sorry one ; its story is soon told. VISIT TO PRIM’S WIDOW. King Amadeus came out from the Palace after a little time and proceeded to the station of the Southern Raliroad. He was attended by the mem bers of his suite. The King, who rode first, jour- neyed on a visit of condolence to la Sefiora Dofia, the widow of Prim. ‘The duty was a paintul one to all present. AN AFFECTING SCENB. ‘The King, who was accompanied by the ex-Regent Serrano and Admiral Topete, entered the office of the Ministry of War and proceeded to Prim’s late Tesidence therein. Prim’s adjutants received him at the entrance and conducted him at once to the reoms of the illustri- ous lady. ° Observing the King, Prim’s widow, that most an- forvunate lady, who possesses herself ag good and kind a heart as ever beat in woman’s bosom, ap- peared to be struck speechless by her feoling of emotion, She sat surrounded by her chilaren and all such houses during the time of the outdoor pro- cession.
