Preparations for Formidable Carlist
Rising.
MADRID. April L. 1869.
Lo, we are to have grand movement soon. The
journals are full OF the PROJECT The good citizens Of
this capital converse about it freely and following
the current, might as well state that this grand
movement, whicn is to take place ''soon,r Is to be
the invasion Of Spain by the Carliss and the taking
Of the field against them by Marshal Serrano and his
army.
The Carliss line the northern slopes OF the Pyre-
nees; they are camped along the whole range from
Bayonne TO Perpiegnau. They are heard OF az being
at La innguera, Folk, Tarbes, Dox, Aleron, Mont
Louis and Beliesarde, making short exclusions into
spain, frightening few OF the people and inviting
the National Guards after them. Even In the inte.
rior OF Spain there are found evidences betoken-
ing that the coming struggle Is not far distant.
AT Cuenca there is congregation Of Car
lists, in what force is not known ana win
not be known until the trumpet blast of
Don Carlos aud his sGeneral-Martinez-is heard this
side OF the Pyrenees. The Caris,s have no doubt
in the least are nearly as plentiful In Madrid "a the
republicans, and they may be scattered all over
Spain In equal numbers with the aerce radical,
Being strong there ~ no occasion to hide in ambush
enough ~ make good battle, otherwise he is an IDIOT
to publish his Intentions, prompting Scrrano and
troops have made as yet have been known pretty
clearly, and n n In the mouth OF the meanes It peas

~ coming.n
Those who have heard this phrase repeatedly NAV
ask, "Why does ne not Gomez" simply that he can
not come just now Is the sole and SIMPLE reason OF
hrs delay. One glance at the Pyrenees one look at
every range IN the neghborho0d OF the capital gives
suncient tongue "a 10 why he ''cannot come.i'
When the revolution II inaugurated summer must
be on the mountains a. well Is on the plains.
All the snow that now covers every noun
tain peak must be thawed by genial heat.
When that period has arrived we shall
see a revolution, for how long no one can say. The
numbers OF the rebels cannot be estimated. We
shall have suficent blo0dshed and battles TO make
sad havoc among the young men OF spain. or thai
there can be no doubt because party feeling is 80 In
tense that II borders on insane hatred The horrors
that were enacted In the last Carlisc revolution
still remembered and may be repeated. The sword
the scafold, exile and the dungeon have. within the
last twenty years, crushed much Of the national
spirit but when the contest between Carists and the
government shall have been begun we may know
TO which party the nation will give It's support. II
the republicans unite with the Carsts rs have
heard some people say they will, they are In the
majority, and Prim and Serrano must wing theil
way TO the Philippines or the Canaries faster than
they came. But II ID hardly possible, because BY
helping Don Carlos 90 the throne OF Spain the repub
cans Will have leaped out OF the frying pan into the
nre with a vengeance. Don Carlos VIII become q
fixture irremovable, while II they waited to see
what Kind Of q monarch the government would
bring forth they might IND pienv Of chances "
