As the discarded groom is allowed to hang about the
opposition- inn, for the sake of the tales from the hall with which he can enliven the bar-parlour and the odd jobs which he can do in the stable- yard, so the noble servant out of place (if we may trust the assumption of all the newspapers in the interest of the servants in place) finds an asylum in the Morning Chronicle, and an opportunity of picking holes in the coat which has descended upon other shoulders. And the Chronicle finds its account in having such a smart fellow among its volunteer supernumera- ries. The papers on the great Spanish Etiquette question are continued with unabated vigour. On Thursday two capital points were made. M. SALvarinv, says this gentleman in the secret must have received orders from some one besides M. GUTZOT the latest instructions given by GUIZOT were, not to precipitate a quarrel—SALVANDT did precipitate a quarrel; he was told to leave M. PAGEOT as Charge d'Affaires—he only left young DECAZES to sign passports ; he was told, if lie came away, to stay at Vittoria or Bayonne—but he staid not ; he would obey no Ministerial or- ders; and on his arrival in Paris, "he finds all the Ministers against him, strongly disapproving of his conduct, and no one supporting him, but the King." The next point is Lord ABERDEEN'S blunder about the etiquette. Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Foreign Secretary sup- posed that all recent French Ambassadors were accredited to Queen ISABELLA ; whereas, says the Foreign Secretary of the Chronicle, they had in fact been accredited to Queen CHRISTINA ; so that when Lord ABERDEEN propounded an ingenious scheme of reconciliation, founded on these erroneous data, M. GUIZOT ingly pointed out the error to Lord Cowlar, and Lord ADIS.
DEER'S proposal "was put into the fire ; it was too absurd even to be forwarded to Madrid ! "
The Times, however, denies that the noble news-writer has got hold of the right story. Ambassadors, it says, were accredited to Isaseizs, and not to Cifill8TINA. No one ever pretended, says the Times, that the Spanish Government have not a right to inter- pret their own constitution : but precedent all over Europe is against them. Higher ground, however, is taken. The series of ex-official informations against Lord ABERDEEN began with a charge that he had sacrificed British influence in the Peninsula : the Times maintains that Louis PHILIPPE has annihilated French Influence there. He has enabled ESPARTERO to triumph over him, within Spain ; while retaliation in the shape of attacks upon Spain from without will not be permitted to France. The Times, in de- fending Louis PHILIPPE from the assault of Lord PALMERSTON, paints him as a baffled intriguer, whose folly is only paralleled by the completeness of his defeat.
