LONDON, June 6.-The Paris correspondent
of the Times, alludng to the rumor of he'
publican movement i'll Madrid, says that those
who are watching the course OF affairs IN Spain
are satisfied that the Alfonsst government Is
apprebensvs. They assert that the Span Ish
ambassador ar Paris has renewed his complaint
relative to the toerence of Carlists on the
frontier, and has warmly protested against the
ostensible charity fees the real object OF Whlch
is to raise money in Paris for the Carists. 1t is
supposed that France will pay less attention to
these complaints than formerly, as Germany at
present takes slight interest III the cause OF
King Alfonso, whose governmenu is too weak
TO pursue course agreeable to Germany.
A competent authority, an att2che OF the
Spanish embassy in Paris, officially reports
that the Carlists muster $4,000 good soldiers,
besides an equal number of second rates, and
will continue to be victorious as long as the
war is conducted as at present.
