No advices. it appears, have been receiy-
ed at the Spanish Legation up to this hour
q I. N. regarding the coup detat The
Republic Is, however, not to be regarded
as overthrown. The defeat of CASTELAR, In
the Cortes is owing to a combination of
the Two extreme factions. Carlsts and In.
The fact that Payia. who is
a young General of Republican principles.
and an intimate friend of CASTELAR,, accom-
plished the coup detdt, seems to Indicate
that 1t was done with the consent of the
latter, nottn favor OF any monarchicsl par
~, 0ut 10 avert the chaos which would |
have been caused by the overthrow of Cas-.
telar and the rule of the CorteS as at pres

France; as all the liberal parties. include
