NEW YORK, Aug. 26.-Foreign inteli-
genee contains the information that Senior
CASTELAR,, leader of the Republican party
in Spain, addressed letter, June IS, to
the Ell Monitor Republicans of Mexico,
in which he expressed doubts as to the
stability OF the Republic in France. Ac-
cording 10 his statement Theirs and his
government were completely disarmed
when they occupied Versailles. He
thinks the Federal principle has b zen tried
and failed. Capitalization is still strong
and has many advocates, while the Bour-
bons are all the while intriguing to regain
power.
TempOrizIng Theirs.
LONDON, Aug. 25.-Thiers last night
was determined to resign, but did not
state his determination to the Chamber
because his frequent repetitions of the
threat to resign have made it ridiculous,
and he seems TO feel he was surrounded
with friends who refuse TO communicate
his purpose to the Assembly. 1t is
thought that the subsequent National
Guard measure will tide over the troubles.
VERSAILLES, Aug. 25.-The Assembly
will probably be adjourned on the 10Th

Germany Losing Confidence,
LONDON, Aug. 26.-Berlin journals con-
tain semi-Cfficlal articles commenting on
the discussion at Versailles, lntimating
that they tend to weaken the confidence
of Germany in the power of the French
