Carlists are improving in Spain, as anarchy spreads in the provinces, and the executive power in the capital is weakened. The latest report by telegraph is that Carlist bands are increasing in Andalusia, and

Republic will soon be in a bad way. It is difficult to ascertain the net result of the military operations in Catalonia and Navarre, for as in the old Carlist wars, both sides invariably claim the victory after an encounter. It is certain that the Carlists of the present day have not degenerated from their predecessors of a. generation ago in cruelty, rapacity, or boastfulness. But then their opponents are not very remarkable for humanity, modesty, or scrupulous regard for the rights of property.
