The Attitude of Prim and the SPAN
iards.
A special correspondent writes from Mad
rid on the 25th inst, that the feeling of
the government was secretly in favor of
Franco, based on their satisfaction because
Prussia and not Spain was attacked. Re-
| publican newspapers denounce this ten
dency and warn the government that the
people Will not endure base submission to
aFrench alliance under such circumstances.
The same sentiment is partly shared by the
army. The order expelling Don Carlos
from France was purchased through in
| trigue by Olazaga and with Illuminating
concessions. The Spanish parties each re-
| gard war with reference to their dynastic
interests. The Montpensierists hope that
France will be too busy to oppose their
candidate Prim keeps silent. Republl-
cans are immovable for republic.
