Senior Castelor has succeeded in forming
a cabinet that promises, if there be any
virtue in fair intentions, to do good service
for Spain. Speaking in the .Cortes, the
new President strongly attacked the
Spanish demagogres, and said the Carlist
forces must be opposed by the entire ma
ton. To defeat the CarIiSts, an army was
necessary, and it could not exist without
discipline, or without the retention of ca
pital punishment. A bill would be intro
duced imposing large pecuniary fines upon
parents who had sent their sons abroad to
avoid military service. Europe would
only recognise the Republic when it had
caused the laws to be respected, and had
restored order in Spain. The speech was
received with loud cheers, and large num-
bers have since enrolled themselves under
the banner Of the Republic, General Bre-
ga is the new war minister, and if " the
entire nation" responds to the call Of the
enterprising Castelar,, we may soon hear of
the flight of the CarIists and a "regenerated

Spain" "Suficient for the day is the evil
thereof" And if CASTELAR, and his friends
can only tide over the present difficulty,
and restore order and confidence, the wordy
war which may b. expected to follow in
the struggle for ascendancy in the Cortes
well be anticipated with compIacency.
Those who have any thing to lose are tired
of the present state Of affairs, and if Caste
lar has bat the pluck and energy for which
he is generally credited, there is every rea-
son to believe he will not want for willing
hands to assist him in the good work which
he has taken in hand. Still, it must not be
forgotten that he has succeeded to the
command Of a ship which Mr.. PlimsolI
would pronounce to be unseaworthy and
if she should founder before he can bring
her safely into port, he will not the less
deserve the thanks of every friend Of hu-
manity for his bold attempt to save her
