All the accounts received this week confirm the serious view

we took of the Carlist movement. The correspondent of the Times is especially emphatic, and obviously doubts the Army. Pampeluna was to have been given up, but Prim got wind of the transaction and changed the garrison, while Carlist bands appear in every pro- vince; General Izquierdo, Captain-General of Madrid, has formally assured the Ministry that unless a King is elected he shall resign, "despairing of the Revolution ;" and the Volunteers of Madrid are forming leagues to beat moderate editors, and the Government says it cannot protect them. One editor has already been beaten nearly to death. The rumours of the intended sale of Cuba excite great discontent in the Army, while a half-romantic feeling is spreading in favour not so much of Carlos, but of his wife, Marguerite of Parma, a lady with much of the grace and ability so often displayed by the women of her house.
