... No news of interest has reached us from Spain since our hst. The Queen Regent 1tas addressed the nation in eulogistic terms of the Constitution, which the Tory prints represent to be just as honest as those used by Ferdinand sixteen years ago.

Hanging on each least word, your inmost being Stirred ...
