MADRID, July Is, 1878.
Cartagena Is in rebellion Alcoy is still shoulder
ing from the fires which the rebels kindled against
all law, order and decency, within the Industrious
happy town. Barcelona is still hestating whether
to proceed to overt acts against the constituted
authority or remain quiescent for few days
longer. There . fierce civil war raging from
East to West in the Pyrenees. The soldiers
fused as to their duties and know not to whom to
give obedience. Madrid itself s itching for dis
turbance and disorder, for riot and bloodshed, for
barricades and pronunclamentos; and, with all
this before 1t,

the Spanish people should show themselves worthy
OF the liberty which they hope to gain.
"Federal republicans OF the provinces federal
republicans Of Madrid, fOrward and live the
federal democratic Republic with all its legitimate
and natural consequences
The causes leading to this fiery appeal to revolu-
tion by La Justicia Federal are summed up az
follows -
1--WE have government and a Cortes represent
ing the people, it is true but this government and
Cortes employ their time in punglng the country
into perpetual crisis and in changing Minister'S
ave have government and Cortes VINO make
food dearer every day, who Kill our credit, who
fOment the cause OF Carism, who depose
or iail to employ republican generals, chiefs
and Officias; who set aside the true federals and
conduct us to bankruptcy, social dissolution and
chaos; in one word, this government and Assembly
which we nave are killing the Republic and dis
graciDg the republican name. Fifteen days of such
q state Of things fifteen days OF such torpidlty,
and meaningless effort, and the Republic is lost
beyond all hope.

The manifesto directed yesterday by the minority
of the Cortes to the army Is as iollows:-

ana guard wen the safety of that happy state which
mas oeen the dream OF your existence and the
doctrines OF which we have defended and sus-
tained-the federal Republic
''rhe enemies OF this form of government in
Spain are many and powerful, but thev are weak
II their Vaccinations which they put in play are not
aided by yourselves, II you are determined not TO
commit the act OF suicide.
'The federal Republic Is, besides the form Of
government that the sovereign Cortes has voted
as law. You must, therefore, that i is your duty
as soldiers and patriots, as individuals OF the
public force, maintained by the legality which has
,given the nation liberty and as sons Of your
samothers, to defend this form Of government.
'The political parties which have brought the
country into this perturbed state in which we
,nnd ourselves to-day sgitate 1t with restless
acttvity In order that the soldiers may proclaim
with them the unitarian Republic which is the
natural vanguard Of the advent Of Don Alfonso
