The Carli-ts who have always been a
formidable though unobstruotivc power
iu AtHgou, Old CASTLE. aud the Basque
Provinces, were at once aroused by the
! proclamation of the republic into great
activity and importance; and assisted Ivy
foreign capitalists. they have been enabled
successfully To take tortrcSscs garrlsoncd
| 10y republican troops. Catalonia, which
| for years has been aiming ut independence
aud free trade, saw IN the establishment ui
the republic an opportunity for attaining
its long -ch prished objects. Il has declared
with emphasis that il will adhere TO the
republican form of government ON one
condition, namely, that the republic shall
DC federal oue well knowing tl.at its
own secession from the federation will i'm
mediatcly and necessarily follow. BARGE
Iona has declared this purpose 80 decisive
ly that Gen. COSTRERAs, the late Captain
General of Catalonia, reported 10 the
Madrid Government previous to his resig
nation that 1t would require ten thousand
disciplined troops to induce the Galatians
to reconsider their determination; and
at the orders OF the Government in all
Spain.
But II is not from the masses Of the pco-
pie alone that the dangers which surround
the spanish republic have their origin.
The party cliques, factions, and prominent
men in Spain who are bent upon the
speedy suppression Of the republic are
almost immune rIible. President FiGUERAs
who, as "A lifelong republican, had a right
to rely upon the gratitude of the people,
aud who. unless hc is attempting TO deceive
the world, believes in the existence Of "a
republican element among them, learned
how little he could expect from them
when they turned against him for the
trivial act Of appointing PI MAkoALL to
occupy his pos temporarily while he was
attending his wife's funeral! He cannot
long remain i'll power, but ii is impossible
n vet 10 conjecture who will follow him.
Marshal SERRANo, formerly the most
popular man with the army, evidently
overrated his influence when he undertook
torcplace FIGUERAs, and has either escaped
into exile or been shut up IN prison. The
partisans of Isabella are biding their
time-possibly even assisting the Carlisis
against the republic, in order that when
the opportunity arrives the victor in the
present struggle, weakened by the cShaus-
tion nf the contest may the more easily be
ovcrthrown. Aud to crown all, the coun-
try, long bankrupt, now finds IL impossible
to borrow small sums for the indispensable
necessities Of the day at any rate of i'll
tcrcst.
The Spanish republic was ushered into
the world under unfortunate auspices.
Gen. SICKLEs presided over it, birth; in
deed its very existence is due to the osten-
tatious sympathy of our state Department.
Under such circumstances il can only be
short lived. and. in view of the mischief it
has already caused, its demise Will not hc
regretted except by few demagogucs
who, ~ ever in the worlds history. when
out OF power have promised every reform,
and wneu IN power have rcpudiated every
