The Times of this morning in an editorial
article commenting on the communication re-
Gently sent to the various Powers by the Span
ishS government, says =
It is a hint that the time approaches when
the Spanish government must be received
within the pale Of nations on terms of equali-
ty. If it be proved that the Carlist generals
are incapable of keeping the enemy at bay in
Biscay and Navarro the instruction is likely
to collapse. The limits of Carlist strength on
Oarlist ground are now pretty we'll defined, and
when the national army resumes operations it
is likely to encounter ~effectual resistance.
These more cheerful prospects justify the
Spanish government in making an appeal to the
public opinion of the world, and should Serrano
maintain himself and constitute a stable de facto
government we know no reason why it should
not be recognized as we'll as MacMahon's.
