The Spanish Revolution.
 The following letter. dated Madrid, June 30, we ind in the news brought by the Franklin:
 To-day's Gazette contains Royal decrees de- pnvlng Lieutenant General Leopold O. 'Donnell, Major General Felix Maria de Messina, and Lieutenant General Antonio Ros de Olano, of all rank, honors, titles and decorations. By otner decrees Lieutenant of the Civic Guard, and Captain of the regiments of Estremadu- ra, are promoted-the first for refusing to join the instruction when he happened to fall into the hands of the insurgents; the second for en- deavorng to prevent it, in doing which he was wounded. Crosses and small pensions are also granted to two corporals and four soldiers, for similar good conduct, and one of the corporals receives an ensign's epaulette. This and the crosses were given by the Queen herself through the hands of General Quesada, Governor of Madrid, at review of the garrison yesterday evening, at o'clock, in the Prado
 Her Majesty was in an open carriage, accom- panied by her husband and daughter, and fol- lowed by brilliant staff After it had driven along the line the royal equipage was surround ca Dy oftlcers, the troops were formed as near as possible, and the Queen addressed them At a very moderate distance from the mass of mil- tary 1t was impossible to distinguish word she said, but she smiled and did her best to look gracious, and held up her child to the troops as if con6ding it to their protection. If there were in the breasts of Spanish military men a spark of sympathy with their Sovereign and of attachment to her throne, 1t ought surely to have flashed forth on this occasion. A youth full Sovereign in her hour of peril, presents her. "a fho IIcf of hor herself and her infant daughter to their pro- lection, placing an epaulette and cross upon the shoulders and breasts of soldiers whose loyalty had been proof against seduction.
 think 1t an ominous sign for the Queen of Spain that at no period of yesterdays review was single mark of enthusiasm or affection shown either by officers, soldiers or people, Not a vlva or shout was heard, not a voice was raised in exclamation. This silence was so evil dent, so marked, and was noted by so large a concourse of persons, that even the Official Ga zette and the as official HeraA1o dare not assert it to have been broken. The latter journal says: It is difficult to describe the enthusiasm with which the troops received their Sovereign''- The phrase is we'll chosen, for 1t is certainly difficult to describe that which did not exist After the review, the royal equipage was sta toned in the Cane Alcala, and the troops marched past They looked very we'll, smart and clean, although somewhat Jagged by the severe work they have had these last few days, long marches, CSC ,rt duty, patrols and very little sleep. The Queen was dressed in white. Among the officers surrounding her were Gene rals Lara, Quesada (who commanded the pa- rade,) Cordova, Campuzano, Duke of Ahuma- da, Matoy Alos, Count Nistahermosa After the review, the Queen took drive, and return ed to the palace about 10 o'clock, passing through the most crowded streets of the capi- tai. She was received with profound silence and complete indifference.
 1o-day'S official papers do not report the words addressed yesterday to the garrison by Queen Isabella but we may presume they were pretty nearly identical with the short speech which she addressed to the troops upon the night of her arrival from the Escural and which IS published to-day. The following is a translation:
 SOLDIERS: became acquainted this morn ing with the high crime of treason committed by General Dulce, to whom had been pleased to conhde the direction of cavalry, and with it the honor of its standards. With him other Generals have raised the rebels banner: you Know them well; they are those whom 1 have most loaded with distinctions and favors: and to-day you know them better as unworthy of my royal esteem. They have designs against my person, against my throne, and that of my daughter breaking their oaths and trampling upon the most sacred laws. This know, and for this reason l hasten to visit your ranks loyal, as are all those of the army that remem- Der my childhood. Thus shall I appreciate your services more nearly; thus shall l better witness your triumph. YoLA REINA.
 Madrid, June 29, 1854''
 It IS said that the Queen was deeply affected by the manner of her reception yesterday by the troops, and that on her return to the palace she burst into flood of tears. There certainly was very great cause for concern and appre- hension on her part.
