The Royalist Generals, Cheste from Catalonia, and Calonge from Burgos,
are said to have fled towards France ; but the latter, who did the only real Royalist fighting of the revolution,—ho retook Santander after a bloody fight in the streets, last week, for the Queen,—was arrested before he got across the border and was given up to the revolutionary junta at Burgos. We are told that Generals Prim and Serrano are "united in opinion." The former is the only really popular leader of the movement ; indeed, the account of his enthusiastic reception by the people of Seville on his landing looks as if he might really hold the power to shape the destinies of Spain. lie is certainly the most respectable of those who " seem to be pillars," and probably also the ablest. The chief commercial firms in Andalusia have offered the Provisional Government voluntarily a loan of 160 millions of reals (say 1,600,0001.). That looks well, so far as it goes. But it is nothing to the emergencies of the Government. A famine has set in in Castille and Estramadura, of which it is said 10,000,000/. ster- ling would not be enough to stem the force. This is a new and dreadful complication of the political problem, demanding quite other than political remedies.
