We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
The escape of the Count DE MONTEMOLIN and
CABRERA is treated by the Journal des 'Mats as an
inconvenience, and nothing more, which may possibly
give rise to some troubles, which, however, will be
speedily put down. The Courrier Francais, which
says the flight of CABRERA and the Count DE
MONTEMOLIN is part of a vast plan, the authors of
which are in England, thus argues on the effects
likely to be produced by a Carlist rising in Spain :
" Some journals are making a great noise about the
proclamation of the Count de Montemolin. We per-
sist in thinking that the Carlist party has no longer a
chance of success in Spain; but it is not the less true
that it might, under existing circumstances, yet attempt
a formidable diversion in favour of the Progres-
sist party. It is very easy to give an ac-
count of the political situation of the Peninsula. The
Progressist party had in its favour almost all the large
cities, Madrid, Cadiz, Barcelona, with Saragossa at their
head ; the middle cla-ses, who, for the last five or six
years, have put themselves very much forward, beyond
the Pyren6es, constitute its principle strength, an invin-
cible power which sooner or later must prevail. It may
be readily understood that industry and commerce
have acquired the conviction that there is neither
order nor stability possible under a retrograde Go-
vernment, a Government of intrigue and reaction, and
which, from one thing to another, may exasperate pub-
lic opinion, and impel it to pronunciamientos. 'What
would then happen if Car:ist pronunciamientos were
again to break out in the north of Spain ? It would of
necessity fatally happen—first, that the Cabinet of Ma-
drid would be obliged to deprive the principal cities
of their most disciplined troops ; secondly, that the Pro-
gressist party would take advantage of such a complica-
tion to re-commence a struggle in which the Moderado
party would evidently not have the advantage. The
chances of this party would be worse, inasmuch as it is
much divided in itself ; it would be in vain now to seek
in the press and in the Cortes for those phalanxes of
writers, generals, and functionaries who at the end of
1843 overthrew M. Olozaga, and compelled MM. Cor-
tina, Serrano, Made; and Lopez to retire from the
political arena. The most eminent, most respected, and
most popular members of the Moderado party, MM.
Pacheco, Manuel Concha, &e., now form an ardent
opposition to the small number of intrigans who have
entrenched themselves behind the Government.
The moment will arrive, and sooner perhaps than is ex-
pected, when the Puritan fraction of the Moderado
party will make common cause with the Progressist
party. And then, if the north of Spain is in a flame
through a Carlist insurrection, and if England should
make the slightest demonstration on the coasts, what
means has the Camarilla to resist such a formidable
coalition? Let reaction, infatuated by its easy triumphs,
blindly enter without looking back on the fatal path
into which it is impelled by personal ambition. We
believe we kaow something about Spain, and we
affirm that Maria Christina might be one day or
another as easily and as rapidly got rid of as was
Espartero in 1843. Maria Christina no longer re-
members certain nights at La Granja, and days of Sep-
tember at Barcelona; she wants another fall, after which
there would be no longer any possibility of return for
that evil genius of Spain whose influence has never been
hitherto marked but by catastrophes and revolutions.
It may now be understood how a party so discredited as
the Carlists may strike a decisive blow in Spain. This
party can do nothing for itself; and one must be the
Gazette de France itself, or, in other words, be entirely
ignorant of the existing ideas a'd feelings of Spain, to
believe that the intelligent part of the population—those,
in fact, who change the political face of a kingdom, can
rally; round the Count de Montemolin. Nevertheless,
in whatever discredit it may be, the Carlist party
will not the less give the signal for a struggle in which
all the advantage will infallibly turn on the side of the
Progressist party. Nothing is assuredly more natural
than that the Progressist party should take advantage of
the movement; but for us, who under every circum-
stance like candid and frank situations, we should see
with regret a formal accord establish itself between both
parties, between the soldiers of the ancient regime and
those of the constitution of 1837. 'I he Prtgressists have
Spain in their favour, they could not in any way enter
into a compact with the men who for seven years so
deeply desolated her. We have a firm hope that Spanish
liberalism will come out victorious from the crises which
are announced; it is important that in the day of triumph
it should again find entire that authority of principles,
in virtue of which it now claims a future."
CABRERA, who it is said, embarked on board an
English schooner which had been for two days hover-
ing off the French coast, arrived in London on Friday,
and was joined on Sunday by the Count DE MONTE-
WOLIN. The following intelligence on this subject
is from the respectable correspondent of a morning
paper:--

" General CABRERA arrived in London on Friday
evening, and the Count DE MONTEMOLIN, who had
been expected on Saturday, reached town on Sunday
morning.
" The Count has, since his arrival, 'kept a very
strict incognito, being denied even to his most de-
voted followers. General CABRERA has, however,
had an interview with the Ambassador of a European
power. It is said that a proclamation, issued since
that which appeared in The San of yesterday, and
which has not yet been publicly circulated, has
greatly disappointed the Exaltados, who look upon
the courting of ESPARTERO as a dereliction of prin-
ciple. It is also said that ESPARTERO is exceedingly
averse to enter again upon Spanish politics."
According to the Presse, the Count will not appear
in Spain until he has combined his plans with the
Carlist chiefs, several of whom have also effected
their escape from France.
The Minister of Marine set off on Saturday to in-
spect the ports on the west coast of France. Such a
visit has not been paid since the expedition against
Algiers was fitting out in 1830.
With regard to the marriage of the Due DE MONT-
PENSIER, the Presse, in allusion to the protest said to
have been made against it, as contrary to the Treaty
of Utrecht, devotes three columns to controverting
this proposition, contending that the object of this
treaty was mainly to prevent the King of FRANCE
from being at the same time King of Spain, but not
to prevent other members of his family from inherit-
ing the Spanish crown. It continues thus :
" As far as regards England, we believe that, without
doubt, it will be annoyed to see this affair (the mar-
riage) concluded ; but England is too reasonable and too
prudent to endeavour, without any object, to give it that
opposition which the revolutionary parties in France
and Spain expect, and patriotically solicit from the men
now in power in that country. She is too reasonable to
invoke the treaty of Utrecht against an event which in
no way militates against that treaty, too prudent to
break, for an object which assuredly she will not
dare to avow, an alliance which has not been of less
service to her than to us, and a peaco which alone
supports to-day her prosperity. England will, therefore,
either be quiet, or will, at all events, merely protest as
to the future. We are told that the rivality between
France and England is about to re-commence. What!
has that rivality ever ceased to exist? Is it not perma-
nent and universal? For our parts we prefer that it
should be frank and avowed, rather than tortuous and con-
cealed, under the external appearance of affection the
most false, as every one must now acknowledge that it
has never ceased to be. We have been told that it would
cost us dear, and that our Government will pay, by
enormous concessions on other points, the tolerance which
England may be pleased to show us on this occasion.
For our parts we have no apprehensions of that kind, for
the press and the Chambers are always ready to restrain
in that respect the feelings which are supposed to actuate
some of our statesmen. We shall take care that we
shall net pay on one side what we get on the other. We
are not, thank God, of those people who see nothing in
the great act which our diplomatic agents have just ac-
complished but a matter of private interest to the Royal
Family of France, but for the very reason that these
interests are mixed up in the affair, it is important
that the country should see that its own interests are
not sacrificed."
It will be perceived from this extract that the
Presse no longer speaks in " the King CAMBYSES
vein," in which it was wont to indulge with regard to
England.
It was reported in Paris that King Louis
Pimarru had written a deprecatory letter of twelve
pages to Queen VICTORIA, detailing the progress of
the MONTPENSIER marriage, and praying her MA-
JESTY to acquiesce in it.
The departure of the Duc DE MONTPENSIERIS now
fixed for the 26th. This postponement has taken
place, it is said, in consequence of the arrival of a
messenger from Madrid with a copy of the instruc-
tions sent to Mr. BULWEIt by Lord PALMERSTON, a re-
port of what passed between Mr. BULWER and Senor
Imam on communicating:those instructions, and
dispatches from M. BREssoN, Queen CHRISTINA, and
M. ISTURITZ.
The France, the Legitimatist organ, which says that
the Austrian Cabinet regards the Spanish question in
precisely the same point of view as the English Go-
vernment, has the following as to the effect likely to
be produced on the Spanish marriage question by the
escape of the Count DR MONTEMOLIN :
" The departure from Bourges of the Prince, the suc-
cessor of Charles V., his proclamation full of the grand
idea of the union of parties, and the arrival of Cabrera in
England, complicate in the most serious manner the
question of the Spanish marriages. Great events are on
the eve of production on the other side of the Pyren6es,
for all parties give unequivocal signs of discontent and
disapprobation at the same moment that the entente
cordiale between England and France is violently broken.
The Doctrinaire Government has thrown itself headlong
into all this mess for the sake of a fine dowry and of a
semblance of influence in Spain. This is a fine policy
which displeases at once England, Austria, Prussia, and
