The news from Spain this week is with one exception
all favour- able. It is stated that the Conservatives resigned because the Xing refused to agree to a coup d'etat, declaring that he had signed the Constitution "as gentleman as well as monarch," and in- tended to keep his word. So popular is the new Ministry with the people, that Zorilla has called out the National Guard, and sent the garrison of Madrid to fight the Carlists. He has agreed to pay the interest on the Debt in full, and is preparing a project for the final separation of Church and State. The Clerical or Carlist movements in Navarre, Biscay, and Catalonia, have Accordingly been renewed, and will for some time remain a source .of anxiety and expense.
