SPANISH PRINCESS
To Marry Carlst-State is Against
 the Union.

New York, December 17.-A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from Madrid says:
 ''The Queen Regent will send to the court on Monday communication relative to the forthcoming marriage of the Princess As trias with Prince Carlos, second son of the Count of Cazereta, head of the civilian branch of the Bourbon family.
 An exciting debate is expected on ac- count of the bearing this union may have on the succession. There has been so much preliminary controversy that Queen Chris tina Is in mind to have the matter settled.
 Princess Maria De Lasa Mercedes of Spain, Princess of the Astrias, is the oldest of the three children born to the late King Alfonso XII The death of her father when she was but years old made her sovereign until the birth of the present king, six months later She is now heiress presump- tive to the crown.
 Tn June last 1t was reported that the young princess was to be betrothed to Prince Albert of Belgium, but contrary to all calculations she fell in love with Don Carlos, and said she would marry no one else.
 "On account of his belonging to a family of distinct Carlist tendencies and unim- portant so far as royalty Is concerned, state reasons are very much against the union."
