THE SI'ANISII REVOLUTION.

DEFEAT OF TILE ROYAL FORCES.
APPOINTMENT OF A PROVISIONAL
GOVERNMENT AT MADRID.
GREAT POPULAR REJOICINGB.

The news that General Novaßohe, he 4 been
defeated near Cordova will not snrpri‘se anyone
who has followed the maroh of events. His re-
turn to Madrid on Monday and the subsequent
fraternisation of the troops with the people, who
had beta wavering and waiting, transforms the
whole character of the movement. Marshal
Conant., rendered indignant by the treatment he
has received from the Queen, not only resigned
his official position, but seems to have sympathised
with the conduct of the troops. The revolution
was thus a bloodless ono, though the fact that
the Queen's bust and arms wore dragged through
the streets shows that it was not merely a move-
ment against an unpopular ministry. The ap-
pointment of a junta or provisional government
followed as a matter of course. In every province
of the monar by the insurrection has now sue-
ceeded and oNtablishod its juntas; while the navy
has be. n with it from the first.
THE ATTITUDE OF FRANCE.

The trlfrnmontane journal at Paris, the Mend.,
implores the Emperor of the French to intervene,
and says:—" If Nevi!win 111. does not seize the
first favourable moment to save Italy from a socErni
battle of Montana, much more decisive than that
of 1867, and if he permits the cosmo-
politan revolution to overturn the throne
of Isabella to the profit of the Duke de
Moutpensier, France will be very soon enclosed in
a circle of enemies, in the iuidst of which there
will be a frightful Waterloo." The Dansts
reminds its contemporary that the moment is
ill-chosen fur advising any such intervention,
since the return of the French soldiers from
Mexico, and the tragical and of the Prince whom
they took there are still so fresh in the public
memory.

The LiberM of to-day says th+►t the French
goy( raiment ought to decide at once bow it will
act towards this power which is just putting on a
new akin so close to ita frontiers. The French
people, it says, will feel their hearts beat with
emotion. esjasially if Paris, the City of the Barri-
cades, should sea a republic proclaimed at Madrid.
Dots M. llouher, it sake, think of the fate of M.
Gonzales Bravu One thing is certain—that when
a gocemnient ceases to interfere externally it autt4t
give an impulse to liberty at home.
