As at Paris, after February, every body gets up

part OF a revolutionary programme, and these
are sacred things. These patriotic parades,
however, have their utility, and probably the
chiefs of the revolution do not join in them or
encourage them without serious motives. They
amuse the people and prevent them from see'
ing the dangers of situation which there is an
interest in concealing. While reviews are being
held. adhesions sent in, and banners displayed,
there is no agitation, bat parties dissimulate;
this forced inaction is mask caused by the
distrust the chiefs of the movement entertain
OF each other and the secret dissents which
exist among them. These heads of the revolu-
ton speak 100 often, in fact, of their union, of
the sincerity of their common aspirations of
their resolution to maintain this accord for

that each of them has in his pocket his remedy

when he can get his own swallowed. The solu.

evidently different from that which Admiral

German Opinion of the Result.
Berlin (Sept 2S) Cores. of Independence Beige.
The accounts from Spain are generally con-
sidered of a nature to effect diversion IN the
current of warlike apprehensions created and
kept up by the language OF certain French
journals. There was nothing really serious in
those fears. No one acquainted with the
have believed seriously in the possibility of
war between Germany and France. The
reasons for such an opinion have been too
frequently explained in these columns for there
to be any necessity for repeating them. Thus
the chances of peace or war cannot be
subordinated TO those of the Spanish
vanquished, or did it not triumph for long
time hence, the general peace would not be
more compounded than 1t was before the rising
of the Spanish feet at Cadiz: In the same order

Spain, should succeed in obtaining its recogni-

what our good neighbors the French call the
war party. The diversion referred to has there

which, for some motive OF other, prophesied

The effect of their insensate declarations was
nevertheless to maintain certain uneasiness,
to disturb c1edulous minds and TO paralyze
business. Thanks to the events in Spain, the

clans of Paris have changed their theme, that
is all. We are now delivered, tor some time at
least, from their ia .tidious dissertations on

think OF complaining. No rejecting man, |
repeat, could have any fear of war. There had
only been, If we may so say, a superstition
maintained by interested parties. War had,
and no doubt will continue to have, fatalist
believers, with whom discussion was something
difficult, and hypocrites who pretended to
believe. Among these latter must be placed in
the first rank the dispossessed German princes

Spain; and, probably, if the Elector. of Hesse
had been warned in time OF the explosion which
menaced the throne OF Queen Isabella he would
have still kept in his portfolio that magnificent
memorandum he has just addressed to the
European courts which are no doubt astonished
at his posthumous and ridiculous protest.
English Opinion on Spanish Affairs.
Erorn The London Times Oct 8.
The Spanish insuTrection has ended and the
Spanish revolution has begun. The signs of the
rising, IT Is now clear, had been read Alright by
Queen Isabella and her Ministers. From the
hrst there was but little hope for them, and that
little quickly vanished. The success of the re-
volt, indeed, has been decisive in its very cir
cumstauces. 1t was not an affair OF surprise
like the French Revolution of lS48. 1t was not
mere tumultuous rush, like Garbaldis inva-
sion OF Naples. The movement was Compare.
lively gradual, and the impulse for moment or
two was actually suspended. We
cordially wish the constituent legislators good
speed in their work, but the hardest part of
that work is undoubtedly still before
them. 1t win be all the harder from
certain pecularities of the case. There are
reasons why the eXpelent OF regency,
otherwise so obvious, should be rejected al
once; and, indeed, looking back to the various
events Of the last generation, we can we'll under
stand why the insurgent generals should have
pronounced comprehensively against the whole
House of Bourbon. But IL an assembly il

cumstances as the present, and In country like
