Porto Rico is reported to have declared its independence, and a fleet has been despatched thither. Queen Isabella has published a protest. She states that a monarchy embodying fifteen centuries of struggles, patriotism, victories, land grandeur, could not be destroyed by fifteen days of perjury and treason. She has faith in the future.
