SPAIN.
WITHDRAWAL OF GEN. DORREGARAY WITH FOUR
TEEN BATTAIIoNs OF CARIIsTs FROM vALEN-
GA AND ARRAGoN-ALFoNso's GOVERNMENT
SHARPLY CRITICISED.
MADRID, Wednesday, July z, 1875.
Gen. Dorregaray. with fourteen battaons. COM
prising almost the entire Carlst force in Valencia
and Arragon, has rapidly crossed the Huesca and
Lerda Railway, between the stations Tordenta and
Segna, and retreated in the direction of Barbastro.
III Is believed that he is going to Urge but as he
lacks cavalry to operate in that district, which is
free OF mountains and full Of Liberals it will be i'm
possible for him to remain there.
The Carlists traversed 90 kilometers in one day.
Their flight liberates four provinces.
LONDON, Wednesday, July T. 1875.
The Times of this morning. in leading article on
affairs in Spain presents the following summary of
the military and political situation in that country
The recent minor successes of Gen. Jovellar and
hartinez-Campos far more than outweighed by
the reverses TO Gen. Loma He has been rcpulsed
with heavy loss Gen. Quesada has not only been
batfled in his attempts to throw supplies into Wit
toria, but has himself been driven behind the River
Ebro Ii is also said that Vitoria has, for the first
time since the war began, been cut off from commu-
nication with Madrid The Carlists are SO much
elatcd by their triumphs, and place much reliance
on the artillery they have at last obtained that they
seem about to begin forward march.
After considering the desirability that the guer
rilla character Of the hOstties should cease, and
the war be fought out the plains as otherwise il
is capable of indefinite continuance. The Times de-
clares that all the bright hopes that Alfonso brought
to Spain have vanished. His best Generals are less
active than under Serrano. Tho first attempt to
s'rt" decisive blow brought defeat instead of vic
to,,. Nor has the King been more successful in
tt.tirt Ihn ia, 10 &c
sullcn protest, demanding an impossibility. The
attempt to please it by banishng the Liberal Pro-
fessors and coquetting with the old principles of
religious persecution has failed to satisfy il,
and cnraged the Liberals. Hence the Ministry seem
ready to try the effect of much religious liberation
a. vii! permit Pr0tcstants to worship in back streets
But such concession will disgust the clerical party,
and not satisfy Alfonso's political supporters. Nor
has the King been able to make peace between the
warning factions. An attempt of the moderate
parties to join hands has come to nothing, for it
would be absurd TO anticipate anything from the
constitutional scheme of which the telegraph brings
information. The ministers dare not allow the King
to slmmon Parliament, lest they should let loose
torrent of discomfort. The press of Madrid is
muzzled TO prevent it from being dsloyal. The
Treasury is in such a state that the Government
not pay the army navy.

favor of making future Assemblies permanent.
Minister Buffet thereupon made an important
speech. He defended the Republican Constitution
of Feb. 2j. The proposed amendment was in every
way a violation of that instrument. No comparison
was possible between the French and the American
or English Executives. He concluded as follows:
Prudence requires seek guarantee against comps

tiOn, but III the establishment Of government In mar
mony with the traditions character, and wants OF tle
