off the Spanish coasts, to protect the sub.
jects of their respective Gov
ernments. Italy, Austria, and q ma
jority of the European powers main
tain semi miofficiRl relations with Spain, pend
ing the formation OF a regular government.

ions to fight the Carllst insurgents. The

Madrid advices of the 9th, say that Senior
CASTELAR, had addressed memorandum to
the foreign powers, urging the immediate
recognition Of the Republic. He argues that
the European powers, having recognized the
revolution of 1868 cannot refuse similar
action with regard to the Republic,
which is the logical consequence of
the events of 1868, now that royalty
has abdlcated. The Spanish Republic
will not be brand of discord for
Europe. The transformation the country
has gone through is purely internal. For
eign nations should not demand of the Gov
ernment energetic action, while they with.
held from 1t their moral support. The mem
orandum had been forwarded by telegraph
to the principal capitals of Europe.
