LONDON,
WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1836,

Every hour threatens another Revolution in Paris.
Rumours were afloat on Monday in that capital, that
had it not been for a revelation made to the Government
at an early hour on Sunday morning, France would
have been deprived of her KING in the course of the
following night. The report runs that a conspiracy
had been formed for the express purpose of murdering
the KING, and the principal Members of the Royal Fa-
mily ; and that the conspirators had agreed to put their
design into execution on Sunday night, by attacking
Neuillv, the summer residence of LOUIS PHILIPPE,
after the Royal Family and household had retired to
rest. By what means, or by whom the plot was dis-
covered, or how many individuals are implicated in it,
are questions we are yet unable to answer. It is, how-
ever, certain, that so early as two o'clock on Sunday,
the whole garrison of Paris, amounting to 21,000 men,
were under arms, and received orders to await in
perfect readiness the summons to prepare for action.
The several legions of the National Guard, horse and
foot, were ordered to select two hundred men each,
for the protection of their respective districts during
the night. Some field-pieces were dragged in all haste
to Neuilly, and everything looked as if a rising of some
thousands of armed desperadoes was apprehended.
Nevertheless the night passed over without the slightest
disturbance. Not a shot was fired. The conspira-
tors, whether few or numerous, attempted nothing.
But was the Government misinformed ? Possibly it

was ; but we are of a different opinion. The great-
ness of the danger may be easily conceived when the
measures to repel it are taken into consideration. But
a conspiracy which can only be checked by the pre-
sence of thirty thousand men under arms is not likely
to fail in the performance of a purpose which any single
arm may execute. A crime which one individual can
commit, and which thousands of persons voluntarily
bind themselves to assist in committing, is almost al-
ways perpetrated at one tine or other. Nothing but
the adoption of a humane system of policy, and a
political amnesty, can long preserve the KING'S life.

We have received the whole of the Paris Journals
of Monday. In the Constitutionnel of that date, we
find the following account of the re-construction of
the Cabinet
The re-construction of the Ministry appears to
have made some progress yesterday. The follow-
ing list of the Members of the new, Cabinet has
been, we are assured, definitively settled ;—Count
MOLE, Minister for Foreign Affairs and President of
the Council ; M. GASPARIN, Interior, with M. DE
REMUSAT for Under Secretary of State ; M. Du-
CIIATEL, Finances ; M. DumoN, Public Works ;
M. PERSIL, Justice; M. GuizoT, Public Instruc-

Lion ; Marshal SOULT, War ; and Admiral RosAMEL,
the Marine. Marshal MOLITOR to hold the War
Department till the decision of Marshal SOULT is
known."

A more contemptible Cabinet than the above it was
impossible for the KING to have formed. The only
respectable names on the list are those of GUIZOT
and D UCHA TEL. Count MOLE is the creature of

Russia, and will make any sacrifice of the national
honour to purchase the smiles of the Northern Courts.

PEitsu. has not the slightest notion of justice apart
from the will of the SOVEREIGN. To persecute the
Republican party, and to abolish the liberty of the
Press, are the sole objects for which he will exer-
cise his official functions. He is certainly much
better qualified to act the part of a spy, a public
accuser, and an executioner, than to preside over the
department of Public Justice. GASPARIN is only fit
to be entrusted with the management of the Police.
In choosing such men it is obvious that the KING in-
tends to keep the real power of the Government ex-
clusively in his own hands. But how is the Chamber
of Deputies to be managed ? Such a Cabinet cannot
hope for a majority on any disputed question, even in
a Chamber in the election of which the whole influence
of the Crown shall be employed.

LOUIS PHILIPPE'S attachment to the Doctrinaires
will accelerate the rapid movement which France is
visibly making towards another revolution. The KING
and the chiefs of the Doctrine are very likely to go
together. One thing may safely be predicted of the
KING, provided he continue in his present career to-
wards the establishment of an absolute Monarchy for
his son ; and that is, that except he die by the hand
of an assassin—which, may God forbid !—he will
never die King of the FRENCH.
A despatch from Bayonne, dated the 3d instant,
announces that BASILIO GARCIA, the Carlist Chief,
had succeeded in crossing the Ebro. According to a

Carlist account he reached Estella on the 29th ult.,
bringing with him six hundred recruits, three hundred
prisoners, and as many horses. He was then at the
head of five thousand guerillas, and expressed himself
resolved to undertake another expedition as soon as
his men were recovered from their fatigue.
On the 23d the Carlist chief VILLAMUR died at
Estella. He was 86 years of age.
On the 25th Brigadier PEON obtained a victory
over the Carlist chief CASTOR in the valley of Mena.
Of the Carlists, a hundred, including four officers,
were made prisoners, ten killed, and thirty wounded.
The Christinos had six killed and eighteen wounded ;
but most of the wounded on both sides were but
slightly hurt. According to the Carlist organs the
PRETENDER'S troops, and not the QUEEN'S, were
victorious on this occasion.
PARIS, SEPT. s.—Has. some new obstacle arisen ? Has
some new pretension been brought forward at the moment
when M. de Montalivet abandoned the field to M. Guizot ?
We should be tempted to believe it, since the Moniteur of
this morning is silent, and the Journal des Debuts has the
following paragraphs :
" We have nothing yet to announce this evening (the 4th),
on the termination of the Ministerial crisis ; but the necessity
is so seriously felt, of putting an end to a state of things in
which the most important interests might in the end be endan-
gered, that we must hope for a speedy solution.'"
" What new negociations are we going to witness? We
do not know; but we believe that we may affirm that last night,
at eleven o'clock, the Doctrinaires had no obstacle to their
entering the Cabinet, but such as they might create them-
selves. Has the Court failed them at the moment when they
were to appear before the country ?"
We find the following passage in the Espanol of Aug. 28 :
" Yesterday reports were in circulation, which affirmed
that in consequence of an insurrection at Lisbon, the Queen
had been obliged to take the oath to the Constitution of 1820.
The Ministry of Freira and Silva Carvalho bad been dis-
missed. It was not known who would be their successors."
The Comet English steam-boat arrived on the 30th at Ba-
yonne. It is affirmed that it has come from St. Sebastian, for
the purpose of taking on board fresh provisions for the Eng-
lish Legion.

are sent to the north of France, left Bayonne.—Journal du
Commerce, sth Sept.—Second Edition.
PAnis, SEPT. s.—The Nationnal, in its second edition,
quotes from the Constitutionnel and other journals, the list of
the new Ministry, and adds," However well-founded our anti-

cipations of the composition of the new Ministry were, we
did not think that the men who compose it, would dare to give
to France so complete a proof of the contempt which they
profess for public opinion."
La Pair, the Doctrinaire Journal, though less explicit, in-
timates, however, that the nomination of a Doctrinaire Cabi-
net is very probable.—National, sth Sept.

BOVIISF., QUARTER TO FOUR.—It appears that the new
composition of the Doctrinaire Ministry will be in the Moni-
tear of to. morrow ; the Bulls expected a rise on this, but the
Rentes have almost not moved from 80f. 5c., to 80f. 10c.
The Spanish Active Stock opened at 304; on the fall in
London, it improved to 30-, and is now 3q- buyers. In
general there is very little business doing ; it being pay-day
for the differences of last month, everything goes off smoothly.

Madrid Journals to the 30th ult. inclusive have
been received. The Espagnol of the 28th states that
an insurreotion has taken place in Lisbon, and that
Queen Donna MARIA has been compelled to pro-
claim the Constitution of 1820. MM. FREIRE and

SILVA CARVALHO were dismissed, but their sue•

cessors had not been appointed. We find in the same
journal an exposition of the Government Junta of

Andalusia, in which it declares that it will re•
tain its power till after the meeting of the Cortes.

The same junta has addressed the inhabitants of Ca-
diz, calling upon them to imitate its example. Ad-
vices from Malaga state that the authorities are about
to adopt measures for bringing to justice the murderers
of the late civil and military governors of that city.
The following extract of a letter from Valladolid, dated
the. 21st ult., is the only communication in these
journals worth extracting :
The remains of the section of Gomez, upwards of one thou-
sand men, appeared yesterday, as if by enchantment, in the
neighbourhood of Palencia, and entered it at four in the after-
noon. We learned last night this from the National Guards,
and other persons who had fled from Palencia hither. Word
was dispatched to Brigadier Ping Samper, who commands
2,000 men in Pegnafiel, to hasten in the direction of the Car-
lists. We have sent from this about 100 horse to reconnoitre,
and about 700 of the National Guard to support him. Ac-
cording to the last news, Gomez stayed but six hours in Pa-
lencia, taking the road from it to Cevico de la Torre, in order
to regain the Sierra.

Ire before announced that the Portuguese auxiliary brigade
had left Vittoria to march towards the frontiers of Portugal.
It has, however, suspended its march, in pursuance of the
order of Espartero.

In an able pamphlet on the " growth of Russia,'

o which we briefly adverted a few days since in The

Sun, occurs the following passage :—" At the acces•
sion of PETER the First, in 1689, the population of
the Russian Empire was fifteen millions—at the ac-
cession of CATHARINE the Second in 1762, twenty-
five millions—at her death, in 1796, thirty-six -mil-
lions—and at the death of the Emperor ALEXANDER,
now eleven years since, fifty-eight millions. The ac-
quisitions of Russia from Sweden are greater than
what remains of that kingdom. Her acquisitions in
Poland are nearly equal to the Austrian empire. ller
acquisitions in Turkey in Europe, are of greater ex-
tent than the Prussian dominions, inclusive of the
Rhenish provinces. Her acquisitions in Turkey in
Asia are nearly equal in dimensions to the whole of
the smaller States of Germany. Her acquisitions in
Persia are equal in extent to England. Her acquisi-
tions in Tartary have an area not inferior to Turkey in
Europe, Greece, Italy, and Spain. The acquisitions
she has made within the last sixty-four years, are equal
in extent and importance to the whole empire she had
in Europe before that time. The Russian frontier
has been advanced towards Berlin, Dresden, Munich,
Vienna, and Paris, about one hundred miles ; towards
Constantinople five hundred miles ; towards Stock-

holm about six hundred and thirty miles ; and towards
Teheran, a thousand miles." These territorial acqui-
sitions, it should be observed, have not been obtained
by Russia in open war, or by legitimate means, but
by an indefatigable perseverance in the most reckless
course of dastardly, unprincipled intrigue, that ever
disgraced the historical annals of an empire. She
has seldom or never dared openly to make encroach-
ments on her neighbours, but, except in the case of
Turkey, has taken advantage of their domestic dis-
sensions, to offer herself as a mediator, and under this
pretence to march an army into their dominions, and
wrest from them their fairest possessions. Thus she
acted towards Persia—thus towards Poland—thus
towards the Crimea, and the Southern Ukraine. At
the time she overran the provinces of Caucasus, then
under the sway of Persia, she had but just concluded
a peace with that State ; and commenced her ope-
rations by publishing a Manifesto filled with the
most fulsome expressions of good will towards the
SHAH. The Crimea she seized by a similar
stratagem, for it is a remarkable and peculiar fea-
ture in the policy of the St. Petersburg Cabinet,
commenced by PETER and brought to maturity by
NICHOLAS, always to be most lavish in praise of her
own moderation and disinterestedness, at the very
moment when she is meditating the most unprincipled
schemes of aggrandizement. Accordingly, we are
never half so distrustful of Russia as when we find her
filling Europe with her pacific Manifestos. She can
do nothing in a bold or straightforward manner.
There is no generous or redeeming trait in her policy.
All is tortuous, mean, and hypocritical. There is
actually not one high-minded sovereign, statesman, or
warrior to be found in her historical annals. What
was the " great" PETER but a tricky Kalmuck sa-
vage ? What the " illustrious" CATHERINE, but a
disgusting compound of Semiramis and iVlessalina ?
What, SUWARROW, but another ATTILA steeped to
the chin in blood ? What, ALEXANDER, but a dandy
lip-Liberal, or as NAPOLEON aptly termed him, "a
Greek of the lower empire ?" And yet it is under
the auspices of these half-civilized adventurers that
Russia has risen to a height of power that threatens
at no distant date to overrun Europe I Fortunately,
however, the world is now wide awake to the Russian
system of policy, and rates the professions of the St
Petersburg Cabinet at their fitting worth. France
and England can no longer be taken by surprize ; for
the time has arrived when NICHOLAS, if he desire to
put in practice his long-cherished scheme—that scheme
which Russia has always had most at heart—of found-
ing a third Imperial Capital in Constantinople, must
speak out more boldly, and act more decisively, than
either he or his predecessors have yet ventured to do.
Turkey cannot be conquered, as was the case with the
Crimea and the frontier provinces of Persia, by a
Manifesto ; and it is, no doubt, his conviction of
this embarrassing- truth that is now setting the CZAR
on the qui vive ; and inducing him, as we see
by the Hamburg Papers, to " order a general levy
of soldiers in every part of the empire," which, as
five men are to be selected out of every thousand, will
increase his present amount of troops, by upwards of
three hundred thousand By the same Papers we
learn, that his Imperial MAJESTY, together with
the King of PRUSSIA, is shortly expected at
Prague, under the plausible pretext of assisting at
the Coronation of the Emperor of AUSTRIA—a fact
which, taken in connection with his decree for a general
levy of soldiers, at a period when all Europe (if we ex-
cept Spain), is tranquil, convinces us that his schemes
are fast ripening, and that ere long we shall find him
picking some fresh quarrel with Turkey, for the purpose
of indulging his troops a second time with a sight of
Constantinople.
