GARlBALDI.

GaribaIlis letter replying to the charges
brought against him 10 the report recently pre-
sented to the french Assembly on the Franco
German war is addressed to Signor BOrdone, and
dated Caprera, December Is. Garibaldi says
that there is no period in the history of France SO
full of humiliation and imbecility as that which,
beginning in 1870, shows no sign yet of ending.
The whole nation, corrupted by masked des-
potism and lying priestcraft, presents a spec
taole of humiliating decline such as history has
never before witnessed. The true cause of the
hatred shown to the Army Of the Vosges is
that it did not allow itself to be beaten and
surrounded like the great Marshals of the
Empire. Replying to the statement in the
report that his soldiers never fought against
Manteufel's troops, Garibaldi refers to three
days of almost uninterrupted fighting in Janu-
airy, when the force under him was scarcely
sufficient to defend his positions. Reinforce.
ments afterwards game, but it was then too
late. Had General Bourbaki communicated
with him, the retreat of the Army of the East
would not have proved SO disastrous. When
he heard Of that retreat, and set out to assist
it, the troops bad already entered Switzer-
land,-Europeaa Mail.

THE REVOLUTION IN SPAIN.
IFrom the Timos.)

Another Revolution is being attempted
in Spain. The last day Of the old year
has seen the Monarchy proclaimed in the
person of ALFONSO XII, son and heir Of
the d~ethroned Queen ISABELLA. The
pYonunc;nmiento has been made by tho
Chiefs of the Alfonsist Party, in co-opera-
ton with the officers, of the Army. The
sympathies of the Navy are said to be
with the movement, and The acQuiescenCo
of the higher and middle classes of the
nation, wearied, depressed, and terrified
by the events of the last six years, may
also be counted upon. When o number
of the Spanish nobility ventured a few
days since to address the Prince of the
AsTURIAs, it was evident that the party
favourable to his Restoration thought
the time had come when their purpose
need no longer be dissembled. It is lust
twelve months since General PAvIA ex-
PEELED the Cortes from their Chamber, and
appointed the Government of which SER
RANO, ToPETE, and SAGASTA were the
principal members. A few weeks a-
forwards the chief executive power was
vested in Marshal SERRANo, and he has
since exercised an authority as like a Die
tatorship as can belong to any ruler of q
European nation. The year 1874 has
been passed by the Spanish people in ap.
parent acquiescence with his Government.
The Republic has continued to exist
only in name; the Constitutional repre-
sentation Of the country was suspended,
and no voice was raised for new elections.
When the intervention of Germany pro-
duced the recognition of the existing
Madrid Government it was Marshal SIERRA.
NO, the Chief of the Executive Power,
who was recognized, and not the i~nstitl-
tions which had been proclaimed after
the abdication of the late KING.
But under this outward appearance of
submission there have been formidable
discontents. Marshal SERRANo began his
