MADRID, March 5-We have political trouble
here in Madrd-rnilaary trouble the frontier. The
Carlists in the neghborhood OF Pampeuna and are
threatening the place. Pampeluna is said TO be very
strong IT one the keys Of Northern Spain, and the
Csrsts without ege artillery, cannot do much against
it, unless they hepedby eachery within the walls
There ID Spanish army at Nittora mot far from the
threatened city and that toe must turn traitor before
the Carliss work their WILL The accident OF good
faith in the troops there would nufy all their combina
TONS and thinh the Republicans may fairly expect 80
much of Fortune. At present, rec no signs OF vide
spread asaeetion Some 200 soldiers stole away from
Madrid yesterday to JON the rebel ranks and took 80
horses with them. But thousands remain behind,
the likely to be brought back II swift
pursuit do It, II this were done should be quite
prepared TO hear that they were all very good Repub
until they made up their minds 70 go over TO the
absolutist reaction. There are no fine shades OF
opinion among the Spanish masses. The PEG
pie are either out and out Republicans, or
and ont Monarcbiss Either society save itself
II must have savior the question takes that form
with non-rehDing minds lit itself let 1t
admit nterpostioD Of authority; " cannot let there
be no interposition OF individual rights. The men who
seek the middle in constitutional monarchy and
the nice balance OF popular and administrative powers
little following in the country. They dwell
apart make and unmake systems 70 their hearts con
tent and TO OF such sort are the
Progresistas, the Liberal UBionsts, the Alphonssts
and many others whose names we abroad hear far
ofener than we hear the of Spain Some of them
have lived England and have acquired the English
belief that the plant OF constitutional monarchy viii
flourish in any soil. The world mas seen their
mistake, in the sbdieation of Amadeo; and
surely it must now zee that the only
question OF moment for the Spanish people is that
between perfect logic of liberty aud the perfect
logic of repression The Carsts have an army in tho
field, the Republicans have another-whch means that
the priesty and the secular eonsciences are going W.
fight out their differences For Carsm, be it observed
stands not for kngly but for priesty government The
Don is but a puppet IL he died, or played them false
Tomorrow his wire pullers, the in black. would
find him successor in trce. II Is they who govern
his councils they lead his armies too They are in
terrible earnest. the that, having friumphed
over all only half their foes, they now face
10 face with Republicans who wholly hate them IL
lie one OF those srifes ouaHee which always enthrals
the lockers
Carlsm is active everywhere, in Madrid. You

sion visit the army OF the Government have to
make with department OF State for permission
