5, PALL MALL GAZETTE. 3 erection of the Republic the Madrid Government has in a certain sense the Spanish nation at its back. There can be no concealing, however, the fact that the fate of the Spanish Republic in the eyes of Spaniards has been doubly assured by the latest exhibition of the public decay. If Spain were strong," is the general cry, we should not have undergone so crushing ard unconditional a humiliation; and Spain is not strong in consequence of Republicanism." The decisive struggle for the supremacy will, according to all present appearances, be fought out, not between Carlism and the Republic, but between Carlism and some Liberal Monarchy. Strange as it may at first sight appear, it is not absolutely certain that the restoration of the -Queen Isabella's dynasty in the person of the Prince Alfonso will constitute the only Liberal Monarchy which may bar the march of the Carlist army in the coming spring.

The leaders of the revolution of r868 are so deeply pledged never, never" to recall the Bourbons, that it is expected that an attempt will be made to find a new Amadeo for the Spanish throne. Time, however, can alone declare who is to be the heir, at least the immediate heir, of the discredited Republic. THE INDIAN ARMY. The Times says: In Mr. Bourke's recent enumeration of what he deems the shortcomings of the Ministry there is one item, and that perhaps the least noticed of the whole, which ought to commend itself, for various reasons, to the attention of both his friends and opponents we mean his reference to the Indian army.

We are ready to admit that army grievances" are not at present among the most popular of the many subjects that come periodically before the public. The subject is not of a class calculated to influence a parliamentary election. It would be useless as a party cry, but it will not be lost sight of when the elements and features of the Administration are weighed by the comparatively few who will comprehend the subject, but who, after all, are those persons who create trustworthy public opinion. We are retaining, under the name of economy, something the reverse of economical, and fastening to their post officers who would gladly retire, at an almost certain loss, to make way for the younger men who are the future hope of our military service in India. Nor let it ever be forgotten that without a proper military all the philosophy and statesmanship we could produce would not an hour's purchase of the Empire which we hold at present with system give us so firm a hand.

The real position of old officers in India is only very imperfectly understood in this country. Many of them, strangers Canada, now the to England, have long been directing their thoughts to Southern States of America, or the Mediterranean islands as their future and for the purpose of opening up there new careers for their homes, children. Others, of course, look to England alone. It is not difficult that the Government could meet all their reasonable wishes in to perceive such a way that a real and valued boon would be conferred on the officers, while the State not only received no damage, but really secured an advantage, both on the score of economy and efficiency, substantial neither of which ought do be, or need be, overlooked in doing an act of justice.
