Isar (anc. Isarus), a river of Germany, a tributary of the S. or right bank of the Danube, about 200 m. long. It rises in Tyrol about 6 m. N. E. of Innspruck, passes for about 80 m. through a wild and partly uninhabited Alpine region, until it reaches with torrent-like velocity the Bavarian town of Tolz, 25 m. S. of Munich; it falls into the Danube 2 m. below Deggendorf. Besides Munich, the Isar waters Landshut, Landau, and other towns, but is not navigable excepting downward from Tolz, and then only for rafts. It contains many large bogs and forms numerous islands; has many affluents from the Ammer, Wurm, and other lakes; and is said to have once been a mountain lake extending far beyond Tolz. following year in various parts of the country, but failed for want of organization. Gonzalez Bravo, the successor of Narvaez at the head of the cabinet, carried reaction still further, until in September, 1868, a revolt began at Cadiz which speedily spread over all Spain, and resulted in the queen's flight to France, with her children, her lover Marfori, and her chaplain Claret. (See Prim, and Serrano.) Napoleon III. put at her disposal the castle at Pau, whence she issued a proclamation to the Spanish people, protesting against the revolution.

On Sept. 29,1868, her deposition was declared at Madrid, and on Nov. 6 she took up her residence in Paris, where she has since remained, with the exception of an interval spent at Geneva during the Franco-German war. On June 25, 1870, she abdicated her claim to the throne of Spain in favor of her son, Alfonso Francisco de Asis Fernando, etc. (born Nov. 28, 1857), prince of As-turias, who assumed the title of Alfonso XII.
