n
that the eruption of Vesuvius had entirely
ceased The inhabitants Of the villages
which were threatened with destruction by
lava had returned home. A hurricane Of ter
rible violence had swept over the devastated
country, greatly damaging the villages and
remaining crops.
A dispatch was receivN& in Madrid, from
San Sebastian, on the 5th, announcing that
the division under Moriance had that day
completely defeated the Carlists concentrat
ed ia Navarro, after conflict of nine hours.
The troops carried the village OF Carasa at
the point of the bayonet. The whole Carl
ist-center was captured. A later Madrid
telegram says "Don Carlos, with only 200
adhesents, has passed through Unza, flying
into France. The battle in which he re-
ceived his complete defeat was fought at
Oranquieta yesterday. OF the Carlist forces
engaged, SO were killed and TAT taken prison
ers. The insurrection is at an end"
1t was reported in London, on the 9th, that
Don Carlos and one hundred of his followers
had been captured by the Spanish Govern
ment forces. Forty insurrectionists were
killed and six hundred and sixty were taken
prisoners in the engagement in Navarro.
The London morning papers of the 9th
comment on the nomination OF Horace
Greeley for President Of the United States
by the Liberal Convention at Cincinnati.
The Times says; "The nomination of Gree
ley is farcical, and his election is hopeless.
1t, however, kills President Grants chance
for reelection and makes certain the nom
ination of q candidate by the Democrats"
The Post argues: "Greeley will be success.
full if his nomination is indorsed by either OF
the other conventions yet to be held, but
| such action" the Post thinks, ''impossible." "
| The Telegrdph saws: "The nomination OF
| Greeley directly concerns England, because
he is hostile to the Treaty Of Washington,
and is bigoted Protectionist." The Ne'c'
praises Greeley, but doubts his fitness for the
position Of Chief Magistrate of great ma
| tion.
The reported capture of Don Carlos by
the Spanish Government is contradicted by
the Paris La Union of the 7th, though thai
paper admits that the main body Of the
| Carlists in Spain was surprised and lost 1O(
men, and that Don Carlos fed to the noun
tains, but denies that he was pursued by the
| Government troops.
A recent telegram from Bombay brings
intelligence OF most disastrous floods in the
southern part of British India. The town Of
| Vellore, IN the Presidency of Madras, has suf
fered terribly. Many of the inhabitants wer,
| drowned, to the number, 1t was stated, o
a thousand. Fifteen thousand of the inhab
itants of the town lost everything they pos
sessed, the water having washed away theil
houses and left them perfectly destitute
| II is said former cable dispatch stating
that there had been flood in Melbourne
Australia, whereby 400 persons were drown
ed, was an error, as it undoubtedly referred
to the aforementioned disaster.
The London papers Of the Sth, generally

tial question, assert that the reelection o
President Grant is doubtful If he persists il
