engaged in the capture of Lopez. | put no
faith, however in the report. It may be true
or may not. Ever since can remember,
there have always been revolutions or masa
cres, carried on, wholesale and retail in Spain
and Portugal, and in those portions of the
New World that are mainly inhabited by the
natives OF those countries and their descend
ants Indeed, we are now so accustomed in
this country to read of some General in Por-l
tugal marching upon the capital, at the head
of 10, 900 men; week later of one of his un-
der officers marching against him; week
later, of one or the other of these worthless 90
ing over to the quelers and helping to whip
the other; and, week later again, of England
having stepped in to negotiate compromise;
that nothing in the shape of anarchy and
murder surprises US. The same of Spain,
Mexico and South America Who can re-
member when any of those countries have
been peaceable? The very fact of their be-
ing quoted in news items, as follows 'Portu-
gal is quiet Spain is on the verge of another
revolution; deep laid conspiracy has been
discovered in Madrid, but the leaders have
escaped to the mountains: > 'Venezula is slow
ly recovering from the effects of the late civ
il war, but the soldiers are said to be discon-
tented &C., &c.-such phrases as the forcgo-
ing, | say, tell the whole story While there
is not an event in the old world that would
create such an intense excitement in this
country, as revolution in England, there
there hourly happens one that creates less
than these farces of liberal movements that
we hear of, by every mail, as happening in
Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and South America.
This shows the relative estimates put by A
mericans on the doings of the two races.
New York was swarning with armed men
yesterday. Gov. Hunt was in town, and has
been reviewing the regulars. MALTA, volun-
| teers. and everything else that wears uniforms.
Such display as there was yesterday, of
huge bear-skin caps, weighing down weak
chested little men, and tall caps, wide cap, fiat
caps, skin caps, cloth caps, leather caps, orna-
mented caps, and cooked hats; with red coats,
blue, green, white and black coats; and trow-
seis of every possible color and pattern, worn
by men of possible size and degree of ugliness,
! never before saw. The uniform of every
nation under heaven might have been seen
parading the aristocratic thoroughfares above
Union Square, about two o'clock yesterday
afternoon. Every despotsm of Europe was
represented. l don't like this apng the igno,
rant birelings of Europe by our citizen sol
diery. We ougt to have none but national
uniforms, on such occasions.
The Governor and his staff were handsome
! ly dressed and mounted, and did not appear
much out of their element To my mind, the
best looking company on the ground was
the Continentalers,' dressed in the old reYe
utionary uniform in which the battles of Inde
pendenee werefought and won. There wer,
great many cavalry companies on the field
the members of which were well dressed, bu
miserably mounted. They appeared pretty
well, however, barring the difficulty with wliicl
they managed to cling to their seats.
Take it all-in-all, the grand review was !,
sight well calculated to please the women
loafers, and children. that assembled to wit
ness it. Yours Truly.
