THE. REVOLUTION IN FRANCE.

THE REVOLUTION IN FRANCE.
 The news from France bursts upon sslke the commencement of new age-the open ing of new era-the unfolding of another roll in the history of future ages. As we read over the accounts of the brave, the great. the noble acts of Frenchmen, in their efforts Co preserve the liberty of the press the rights of man and of human nature, the blood bOils within every sOul-H courses the veins with redOubled velocity-and the very heart beats as if it had received its agltatlons from tumults from the Palace Royal itself.
 So many and numerous are the points Ol view in which this signal revolution may be viewed, that we scarcely know where to be- gin, or beginning, where or when to end.- We are again in the verge of another age- on the threshold of new era-the first scene of new drama in the history of human liberty. The French revolution of 1880 is not the French revolution of 1789. The French of the present age are enlightened by experience-are fit for the enjoyment of lib- erty-are intelligent, chival?ic, and quite a different people from that who marrred the closing scene of the last century. That was the revolution of passiOn-this of reason, light, and knowledge. :-, rs,
 The present posture,of affairs is, however very unsettled. as regards the executive power of France. The Duke of Orleans has been called to head the nation but the meeting of the Chambers, the accounts of which we shall probably receive by the next arrival. will determine the important question. The des- tiny of France-nay of the civilized world of human libertyin Europe-is in their hands Composed of the first talent ef the nation, great worth and chara:.er-they will ase::7ne their functions GHdpr the most solemn respon- abilities. There appears to be no doubt but tEs nation will maintain its liberties.
 The immediate cause of this singular revo- lutiOn are known to our readers. The att tempt to disfranchise three-fourths of the eec- tors of France was too palpabe an act of tyranny to meet with any other treatment than has been given it. The additional att tempt to destroy the liberty of the Press was another of the causes of the immediate and spontaneous rising of the people. Soitshould be. France cannot go back 50 years-light cannot be extinguished.
 The whole of these outrageous acts, advis- ed by POlignac, and sanctioned by tyrant, will be warnings to all the tribe Of rOyalists which yet disgrace the other nations of Flu rope. The revolution tn France cannot be checked: its march is onward. England will OOt tlteTteTe dHU u tue dOly AUldncG at- tempt it, beautiful, chisalric, heroic France, will, in one day. De transformed into camp of heroes, strong enough to meet the world of tyrants, and to defeat them. Hut will not the other nations of Europe be compelled to interfere? The revolution is direct attack upos the principles of the Holy Alliancs;- Can that holy brOiherhopd, os~saSpkn Can Anssrias.s,q M qdlGr! Can Russia be still But, above all, will not Spain. Italy, Portugal, Switzerland, raise the constitutional standard Here is the interesting portion of Europe.- The rev0lutl6n in France is the spark that will reignite the dying Aambeaupf liberty throughout the continent. It will stif up the blood of men anew; tt will rcanimate their hearts, and invigorate their faculties. The effect of the heroic acts performed by the in- telIigepf citizens of Paris, will be tremendous. It will be the rising signal from Spain to the Baltic. Even in Germany, there are thou sands and millions of free spirits prepared for the age of rational and constitutional liberty.
 The age is big with great events. Europe is on the edge of a volcano. Every arrival will be looked for with the deepest interest.
