During all last year but three Spanish vessels came to Russia, to the port of Riga. I asked him news from the seat of civil war, and this led to other general remarks. He says Mendizabel is a very able man, but no ability can compel the Spaniards to pay the levies made upon them for the public service, which cannot get on without money; that the attempt of Don Carlos must fail ultimately, even if he succeed in reaching Madrid; that he is fortunate in having excellent officers in command of his forces, and that his soldiers fight with an enthusiasm and devotion scarcely conceivable; that he is openly countenanced by Russia, who, if she does not, as she in fact cannot, actually lend him money, secretly and efficiently encourages and guarantees others in doing so; and that the pretensions of the people of Catalonia, the principal supporters of Carlos, are so obnoxious to all the rest of Spain, and so utterly inconsistent with the integrity of the Spanish monarchy, that nothing more is necessary than a little additional success on their part in order to make every other Spaniard a soldier for the Queen. 1837.
