Meeting Of the Spanish Cortes.
Message of President Castelar,.

MADRID, Jan. 3-The Cortes reconvened in
session yesterday, and President Ca stellar read
his message.
He says order prevails everywhere in the
country, exceptin the north, where Carlist
war exists, and at Cartagena, which was cap
tured by a criminal instruction. That city
and the fortresses and iron -cads have not been
recaptured because of the want of troops and
resources; that the final overthrow of the insur-
rection is certain. There are undoubtedly di-
rect connections between the CarliSt and Carta-
gena insurgents.
President CASTELAR, says the Carlist war has
been terribly aggravated by the Reorganization,
lack of discipline, and dssentions in the repnb-
lican ranks, and he appeals to all, in the1 face
of trouble in the country, to sink party differ
ences and unite in defence of the republic.
While war exists, nothing but war policy is
possible
The expenses of war during the recess of the
Cortes were 400.000,000 reals Government
has distributed militaryicommauds among gen.
erals of all parties in order to give the army
national character.
President CASTELAR, recommends the passage
of bills providing for free public instruction
and for the abolition of involuntary servItude
and slavery on both sides of the Atlantic He
Says
"You must first establish staple Govern
ment, then European powers will soon rec0g-
niZe the republic No nation has any Insur-
mountable antipathy to the republic All
countries first desire to see order maintained
and protection given to the immense CONNER
cal interests.
Senior CASTELAR, promises to lay be ore the
Cortes all documents in relation to the Virgin
JUS affair These he said, will demonstrate
that war can be avo ed, while the principals of
international law are upheld
CASTELAR, concluded his message in congratu-
lating the Cortes that the condition OF affairs is

LOUISVILLE, KY. Jan. 3-Thomas Cook aged
