Another Political Movement ia Spain.
BEARRITz, June 21.-Serrano, Mar
| tos, CabailerO, De ROdas, Gaminde, Sa-
/ yosta, and others, residing here and in
| the neighborhoOd, are endeavoring to
reorganize moderate party, and secure
| possession of the government of Spain.
/ They have made overtures to the Carl
lists, and to the regular regiments now
in the republican service, intending, if
| they secure a sufficient force, to march
on Madrid. Propositions of this nature
were made to EliO, DOrregary, Iizzarga,
and other leading Carlists, all
of whom refused to have any re-
latiOn with SerTanO or his partisans,
| but it is believed that many regular reg
| iments of the Spanish army are now in
| the interest of this conspiracy. The
party pretends to favor unitarian and
conservative republic. The Carlists
were told that should they not aecepi
the proposition the northern provinces
will be abandoned to them, and the
troops would withdraw to the southern
side of the Ebro until the re-establish-
ment of material order in Spain proper,
when an invasion and war of conquest
against the Navarro and Basque cOun-
| try viii be undertaken.

been abstracted from the war depart
ment, special inquiry was made to-
day at the adjutant-generaPs Office and
the bureau of military justice as to the

which had reached the officer in charge
