WASHINGTON, August Is, 1854.
IAe Revolution N Strain and ns Consequences.
The events IN Brain are watched by the si0inis.
tzasicn vish taEsful eye, Dotsal = rsGs!ds Oahs,
but IN view Of The complication Of intsreststo which
they may give. riss In Europe. The revolotisa In
Spain, II s taa 90 usred in tAs midst II pc ,fouad
peace, night have bsea subduod, Il NOT by Spanish
troope. Of least BY TIE intervention Of ono Or the
Other Ewopean Pe~ers. France, which inssrfsrsd
part now, . march across the Pyreness being e
easily accomplished y Buonapartise Prince - by
the Duke 'ADgoaleme. England snd France might
have jointly, or probably, each ~ its o.n way In
trieued for power and influence IA Spain, and the
revolution might have eDdsd with few promises
sxor'ed from royalty, which would have been broken
20 room the sovereign should again have been firmly
seated on the throne, and the whole would have
ended IN pcrsased TAXATION, and still more deplor-
But the case b different now. Epgiand and
France a,e engaged N . bottles wae with Russia,
the end Of which no ono can fos esee, and, while
leslcus o. each other, can undertake nothing Ia
Spain to o aDge give direction to tho current Of
popular evenss. In the Same manner has Spain
nothing to appreheld from the intrigues Of the
Nosfbtln powers, already su6icisntly oocupied 10
maintain the status que 1t homo, and requiring
large standing armies 70 protect their own from
tiers. Neither can the Queen Of Spain or Don Gar
loo, o. ~ legitiMlst leader hope for pecuniaIy -
ais'sDce, In any quarter above DAmei the expense
q she heavy arman,ents throughout Europe having
prosl cot Of Increased taxation and loans. Spain,
therefore, will be pretty much lett to work out her
own salvation, 80 that this may be conssdsred sho
best shame her hocIals ever had since 1872. to
a. charact. Of the people. The fact, too that
tear Of the United States has induced the Queens
ministers 70 send the best and most reliable troops
-sbons 30 000-to Cuba, does in no ANAL degres
eomE aratively easy and bloodless one.
What II certain in the premises Il, that which
ever party obtains the upper hand In the present
struggle will require money 10 maintain ITSELF and
on the most luinOus conditions. Neither viii it
ventI . 70 risk its precarious existence and p0pu-
larlty BY having recourse to increased taxation
Tie bans Of all new governments, and the ruin OF
DestIy inclined. The new government Of Spain,
therefore, whetr er 1t be Of revolutionary chsrac-
ter, or royal y In new guise, will b Obliged to
think carry Of some financial operation by which to
,.plsSasn The pnsic treasury lis 10 this oonnso.
viii Da'ussl be tn ned towards tho colonies.
4 u not believed that tho Spanish government
VIII seriously entertain . proposition to sell Cuba
TO the United states; nor % Il probable that the
people of Cuba would like to be bought and sold
Ike sheep in the market. Bat It 10 not at all iol-
probable that the Cubans, DESTROYS Of independence
may propose to, ms 70 The home government, Offer
ing either 80 much money, Or an annuity for term
cell might enancips'e the island-not the negroes
and do it without loss of character or hcnOr and
without being driven TO II by foreign power.
The Cubans once independent, could dispose Of
and the resources VI their country a. to
them would seem most beneficial and practicable,
AT they won do 80 without giving umbraxe 30
either TO EDgay or France, or 70 any other Euro
pan power. They mig ask the United States to
az LET Them with money or to assume tho goa antoe
Of their In Independence and the payment Of the sum
duc 70 SPAIN This would ct rss, establish friendly
relations and In the end the annexation Of Oub0 Is
IN lido ,endent Save TO the Union. The Spsni ID
ley asts IN Cuba would be given time to return 10
The mother country, and 70 dispose Of their effects
while their places would be Alled BY American Ion
ana customs, our enterprise and, 10 tho end, or
laws. II Cuba IL to be acquired during the present
administration, this seems to DO the most natural
wy, and l nm very much mistaken IL + y not the
one marked out ~ the President. A few mootas, II
not weeks, win snow.
