Cabrera’s attempt to bring the Uarlist war to a close turns out, I predicted 1q my last letter, a complete failure. Ihave just returned from a ten days’ tour through tne Carlist country, and have not been able to perceive the siightest Cabrera is almost Jorgotten, and the Curlists, so far from laying down their arms, are more deflant, more coud- They are ou tee point of sending an expedition into the As turlas to endeavor to raise that province, Saballs has won another brilliant though not very im- portant victory in Catslonia, ana everywhere they are showing more pluck, perseverance and energy than their opponents. IMPORTANT SUCCESSES IN THE FIELD, One striking example of their activity is the way in which they have taken the railroad in hand between Andoain and Tolosa und Alsasua. The} fave repaired ali tho bridges destroyed by Santa Cruzin the early part-of the war, rebuilt a part of the rolling stock, put three or four engines they were tortuuate to cut off from France iu workingtorder, and in a jtew days they will have connected Alsasua with Andoain by rail. Tb! will be om immense advantage to them, as it will enable them to telia or from it takes the liberal forces a week to concentrate on thé corresponding points on their line. d troops from Andoain to Es. ella to Andoain in a day, whereas THE CONVENIO—WHAT CAME OF IT. As*to the famous convenio, about which we have heard so much, I have taken every pains to gel at the truth, andi find that there have been lest than a hundred defections among the Carlist om. | cers, and of these not more than fitteen or tweuty were iu active service. ‘he rest were the most part hangers-on aud adventurer& that s war of this kind always attracts, officers who, while theoretically belonging to tne army, either had not yet received active com- mands, or, having received them, had been replaced on account of their own Incapacity or the intrigues of those who were more In fuvores the malcontents in sort, who, seeing no hope of advancement or profit by remaining with tne Carlists, were glad to take their chances in the beral army, where their rank and pay were ap parently gu@ranteed them. The only wonder tt that afar greater nomber of peopie dissatisfied witn their position snouid not have been ‘ound in an urmy like that of Don Carlos, aad it shows either a profound devotion to prineiple on the part of those who are fighting 1m Bis cause or firm belief in their final success. DON CAKLOS’ PROSPECTS VERY PROMISING OF ULTI- Mare TRIUMPH. In eitber case it 1s evident tuat the cause of Carlos 18 not reduced to that desperat Reuver would fain have ua believe, As far have been apie to observe, the people of jour pr jnces, althouga somewhat tired of tke war, are none the le<s determined to figat it out to the end hor uooe the less hopeful and covfident of fual .

THE WAR NOT NEAR AN END. Everything considered ldo uot think the end of the Carlis¢ war 18 near, at least not if tc depends Upon the, @xhaustion of the Carlists.
