An English paper thus describes the career of Prim, the Spanish King maker, whose recent assassination disgraced the Republican cause :—Scarcely fifty-five years of age, he filled a conspicuous place in Spanish history for five and thirty years—a man of action, doubt less, if ever one existed. :We h&\ e all heard of a certain Vicar of Bray who was Popish at first, then. Protestant, then Popish again ; everything, in fact, by turns, as interest dictated. When reproached with his turncoatish propen sities, he told his collocutor-that .he had always, remained faithful to his creed, and that was, whatever might betide, to live and die Vicar of Bray. And Prim was in some sort a political vicar of Bray. If he did not find out that all was vanity, at any rate he met with assassination as the-, actual goal and end of all his manifold efforts. But he lived in the land of loaded pistols and gleaming poniards. His political tergiversations were, indeed, if we may be allowed to adopt a phrase so familiar, " too numerous to men tion," and he became, in a strictly literal sense, " all things to all men." 1834 the young soldier of fortune was an ardent Christino, subsequently an equally ardent Progresista, a member of what we should call the advanced party, in which character he actively opposed the regency ot the Duke of Victory. So early as 1843 he dis tinguished himself, as an insutgent, raising the standard of rebellion in his native province of-Reus. Very .shortly afterwards we find him acting against his old friends, and engaged in putting down, by military force, an insurrec tion at Barcelona. In 1844 he left the army, was accused of a conspiracy against Naryaez, and .sentenced to six years' imprisonment, which the very next vear was oddlv enough converted into the Governorship of Porto Rico„ In 1853 he was again at home, and again an " advanced '' man, and for his bustling activity was banished into France. After this he turns up on the banks of the Danube, fighting in the Crimean war under Omar Pacha. In 1858 he was once more in Spain, fight ing also in Barbary, and in 1861 in Mexico.
