The Queen of Spain has, by virtue of her office

as Regent, is- sued a decree (dated the 7th instant) for the immediate reopening of the Universities. The language of the decree does credit to her Majesty's Cabinet- " From this disastrous source," [ignorance], it says, "have sprung the capital vices which destroy kingdoms and annihilate institutions the most just, prudent, -wise, and beneficial; by the same cause are produced divisions, factions, foul denominations, the specious arguments by means of which the most abominable crimes are effected as virtues; and those passions assume the name of public good which most injure and oppose it."

The Queen should complete her work by opening the doors of the newspaper offices also.
