The FUTURE OF FRANCE.-The NewYork Com
mercial Advertiser has been favored with another
letter from Paris to a friend residing in New York
city, written by the same judicious and welln-
formed observer, whose letter, published time
in May or June, distinctly foretoId the terrible
insurrectiOn of the latter month, and singled out
General Cavaignac as the man who would be
raised by it to power and authority. 1t will be
seen that he again vaticinates of evil:
PARIS August a.
The situation is more grave than ever, and all
things indicate an approaching crisis The "red
republicans" are working in the dark-they are
again organizing on new basis and preparing for
a struggle with General Cavaignac. Another APP
peal 10 force is inevitable. One of two immediate
results must take place either the discussion on the
report of the committee of inquiry will be sted,
the arrest of Caussidiere, Louis Blanc, Ledru Roll
lin and Proudhon will be demanded. In the first
case the UNPUBLISHED instigators of the revolt in
June will gain new confidence and strength from
the Governments lack Of energy, and, proud of
their triumph, will seek to overthrow the Govern
ment; In the second, there will no longer be hope
OF safety for them except in second and desperate
attempt. For this they have been preparing all the
last month. Two redOubtabe clubs have entered
into an alliance, and will henceforth act in concert
These two secret societies reckon not less than So,
600 members. The new rules for the internal GO
vernment of these political associations are terribly
small and select directory, consisting Of men dis
tinguished by an energy and force of character
which makes them truly formidable. / cannot go
more into detail this point and am not at liberty
to answer the other questions you propose The
other association of which YOU speak has not vet
joined that of "'The Rights of Mani" but there is
every reason to believe that at least half its MEM
bers will soon unite with the $4,000 who are ready
to make an assault upon the government The
three societies of course have ramifcations in all
the principal cities of the republic; their names
known to the police, but not their organization,
which has been the subject of diligent search for
the last fifteen days; but nothing more is known
will be known than that preparations are going on
for &" war TO the knife" between the victors and
the vanquished of June. The legitmists are strong
in hope and confidence. Their real strength still
exists among the clergy. The famous prediction of
the 18th century, which the Jesuits and their fol-
lowers of the Sacred Heart have spread so widely
in America, is circulated here also True it takes
effect only on the minds of the bgoted and igno-
rant, but you know the old saying, that fools have
been In the majority ever since the time of ADAM"
Certain it is, that if Cavagnac is not overthrown
by the "red republicans, % monarchy has chances Of
success, for it must be acknowledged that French
men want political wisdom and understanding
they are republicans under monarchy, and mon
archists under republic and democrats above all,
but with universal desire in secret for the enjoy
ment of privileges" Until political education is
more advanced, there can be no stable and regular
government in this country; nothing is possible
save intestine dscord and perpetual strife. Of this
you will soon have new and lamentable proof.
y The prediction here referred to il said to
have been made by monk who 1ourished in this
18th century, and is TO the effect that in l84S
public would be established in France, followed by
ten years OF anarchy after which the return of the
lilly Henry W would bring back peace, hsppi-
ness, ETC.; these to endure fifteen years and then
the end OF the world to supervene. Com. Adolf
