His last letter was forwarded the 5 th. of Nov. His company left Prats that morning and went to blockade the city and fortress of Berga closely. Sunday he went to the fortress to reconnoitre the positions and he thinks the Colonel Don Francesco Tristans will give him some work in that line. In some districts the Carlists blockade the Republican forces which have to pay the war contribution upon which the military chest depends. He does not know of matters in Catolonia. It occurs to him that his troops are short of money. The Republican forces never move out of their fortresses though they are superior in number and armament. Figuarao is a stronghold and will require a seige and his troops have only mountain cannon, but are masters of the open country and move about unmolested. All recognize the hand of God and later he will mention in fact which for the present would not be prudent to speak of. Since the middle of October he is ignorant of the events in the outer world. All Liberal, Republican and Alfonsist newspapers are burnt. The official bulletins give him information with regard to Navarre where he thinks that they are getting ready. The Carlist forces there have 40,000 men but they are not all armed. His forces have received no aid from France and only a subscription for the wounded from England. Their requirements are 6,000 stand of arms, three million rounds, field artillery and seige pieces. If they had these within a month they would be in Madrid and be complete masters of Arragon and Catalonia in juction with the army of Navarre, but they must be in possession of Berga first, but it is impossible without a stronghold. Shortly after his arrival he wrote to General Kauzler and sent a picture but as yet has had no news from Rome. The sea-coast is Republican, Barcelona and several others are Carlist Provinces. Figueras is liberal while Pingcerda, a mountain fortress with women and children being led to fight, is republican. All the Spanish episcopacy is Carlist and the nobility is Alfonsist or liberal. The Alfonsists have no fixed principles and pander to the liberals who comprise the mercantile and shop-keeping class. There is no Alfonsist party outside the nobility. The Commune is another party. The cousin of his guide arrived this afternoon with three Journals of the 11th and 18th., a letter from Father Edward of Wolf Island. The weather since the 29th has changed and it is now cold. The mountains are covered with snow which adds to the scenery. His company had a merry time at Prats on Nov. 4 when they celebrated the Feast of St. Charles, the men sang a hymn as a chorus and it is evident that the men wish to go to Rome. The Zouave officers gave a dinner that evening some of the guests being Colonel Tristans and Lt. Colonel Camps. The dinner was enjoyed by these partaking and toasts were drunk to several. Don Alfonso and Donna Maria will probably return in ten days and it is not probable that they shall make any movement before his return. The escort accompanying the Republican prisoners handed them over to the French troops. The Carlist force entered France and the manner in which they were received will help restore the feeling of amity that once existed between the nations of Christendom. He has found several good sheets of paper and is able to write more legibly. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 8pp. 12mo.
