The TeNs OF Carlos Letter.
The evening papers of this city publish
the text Of the letter written by Don Carlos
to King Alfonso. The attitude of Presi-
dent Grant, the letter says, is a prelude to
war between Spain and the United States
II you do not recognize the independence of
Cuba. The revolution which YOU repre-.
sent is responsible for this parricidal rebel
lion. Had l reigned it would not have oc-
CURED; at least not gained strength. Now,
however, the integrity OF the country is at
stake, and all her children are bound to de-
tend it. Should war break out 1 offer you
truce as long as the contest lasts,
but maintain my right to the crown,
as retain the conviction that l shall one
day wear it, l can not send my loyal vol
unteers to Cuba, but will defend thes
provinces, and the Cantabrian coast will
send out privateers manned by the indomit-
able population of that coast, which will
pursue the merchant ships of our enemies,
and perhaps chase them into their own
harbors. If you accept the truce, let us an,
point representatives to settle the condi-
tions; if you refuse the world will be the
witness that Catholic Spain has nobly done
her duty.
