Excerpt from The Spaniards and Their Country, Vol. 2 of 2 Since the death of Ferdinand VII. Marvellous improvements have taken place in some fondant In the changes and chances of the multitudinous revolutions, all parties ruled in their rotation, and then either killed or banished their opponents. Thus royal ists, liberals, patriots, moderates, &c., each in their turn, have been expatriated and as the wheel of fortune and politics went round, many have turned to their beloved Spain from bitter exile in France and England. These travellers, in many cases, were sent abroad for the public good, since they were thus ena. Bled to discover that some things are better managed on the other side of the water and Pyrenees. Then and there suspicion crossed their minds, although they seldom will admit it to a for. Eigner, that Spain was not altogether the richest, wisest, strongest, and first of nations, but that she might take a hint or two in a few trifles, among which perhaps the accommodations for man and beast might be included. The ingress, again, of foreigners by the facilities offered to travellers by the increased novelties of steamers, mails, and diligence necessarily called for more waiters and inns. Every day, therefore, the fermentation coca. Sioned by the foreign leaven is going on; and if the national music, or grape-juice, be not over-drugged with French brandy, something decent in smell and taste may yet be produced. In the seaports and large towns on the Madrid roads the twi. Light of cafe and cuisine civilization is breaking from La belle France. Monastic darkness is dispelled, and the age of oonvents is giving way to that of kitchens, while the large spaces and am ple accommodations of the suppressed monasteries suggest an easy transition into first-rate establishments, in which the occupants will probably pay more and pray less. N ews, indeed, have just arrived from Malaga, that certain ultra-civilized hotels are actually rising, to be defrayed by companies and engineered by English, who seem to be as essential in regulating these nov.

Excerpt from Spain and the Spaniards, Vol. 2 of 2 The minister Castelar had written in his memo randum a few days before that the fall of the ancient Spanish monarchy was predoomed on that day when a mob of the populace, with curses on their lips and hatred in their hearts, had invaded the palace of Aranjuez to disturb the majestic repose of their sov ereigns. I had reached that square where on the 17th of March, 1808, occurred those events which were the prologue of the national war, and, as it were, the first word of the death-sentence of the ancient monarchy. My eyes quickly sought the windows of the apartments of the Prince of Peace; I imagined him, as he fled from room to room, pale and dis tracted, Searching for a hiding-place as the echo of the cry followed him up the stairs; I saw poor Charles IV., as with trembling hands he placed the crown of Spain on the head of the prince of the Asturias all the scenes of that terrible drama were enacted in fancy before my eyes, and the profound silence of the place and the sight of that palace, closed and desolate, sent a chill to my heart.

Excerpt from Untrodden Spain, and Her Black Country, Vol. 2 of 2: Being Sketches of the Life and Character, of the Spaniard of the Interior Although, taken per se, they are rather dry reading, yet a certain amount of interest attaches to the form taken by proclamations, official documents, ceremonial letters, and the like, differing in different countries. I therefore present a short sketch of some of those with which the traveller in Spain will become conversant. First of all in importance comes the "Bando de guerra," or proclamation of martial law in a province. The surroundings and accompaniments of the proclamation of martial law are much as follows, and, having twice been resident in a town while martial law has been proclaimed, I may vouch for the accuracy of the picture drawn. There are certain towns in the interior which always enjoy an unenviable notoriety for being the head-quarters of disaffection, whenever disaffection - as in ill-governed Spain is far from uncommon - comes to a head.

Excerpt from Spain and the Spaniards, in 1843, Vol. 2 of 2 WE had great difficulty in finding places in the diligence to Madrid, all the better seats being secured for weeks beforehand; there were two rival com panics, and we were obliged to take the coach of the inferior administration but they assured me there was little difference in the arrangements, especially in the important article of the time consumed upon the road. I must beg the attention of the reader particularly to the ensuing pages, because in them will be re lated an event of no small importance in the extra ordinary and unexpected scenes that shortly after wards followed in the south of Spain, and it formed a hinge, on which a part of the results from the movements we have seen, turned.

Excerpt from The Three Spaniards, Vol. 2 of 2: A Romance He stood a moment gazing upon me with the malice ofa fiend; when drawing from his cloak a letter sealed with black, I looked upon the signet, and found it my father's seal. I started in confu sion at the sight; I gazed upon the writing and recollected the traces of his hand. My impatience rnd amazement were too great for me to notice, and taking advantage of my absence of mind, this strange messenger had departed; and when I again looked up, he seemed to me to have vanished. The letter was written with my father's hand, and commanded me not to undertake the journey I had meditated, but to hasten instantly to the house on the banks of the Tagus, and wait his permission for my departure. I caused the gardens to be searched when I recovered from my first surprise: but no person was to he found, and, at this mo went I cannot conjecture what or who is this mee senger.
