.'The Spanish matter continues to cause the great
eat alarm here and there are aay new sGi

caimed. This belief is awakening public spirit mere
in surpsing degree, and from every quarter OF the
republic we hear Of new eniisments IN the Nalionai
Guard and even old rneE and women oter their SER
vices for the campaign At last the chatter OF the
Spanish Journals and the bravados OF many imoecl!e
,sesupsses residing ID the republic nave worn out
The patience Of the Mexican people, and created the
s;sa. Of coming vengeance and cbastisenent upon
