The Future-French Opinlon-What Will the
RevOiutiOnsts Doe

From the Gazette dc France OF Paris, Oct. e.)
The Spanish revolution hardly sprang into exist
ence yesterday, and already 1t experiences acant
modern revolutions it exhauss itself in shouts aud
manifestations. 1t iancies it has deserved well OF
the country and saved the situation when 1t has rem
dsred itself GREATNESS with uttering declamatory
speeches. when 1t has strained its lungs IN confused
ciamors; when II has put Itself IN Precipitation
triotic. According to the news which arrives from
the other side OF the Pyrenees, SPAN is about to
az ls4s. They have the same evoutoas Of parade,
the same empty but resounding harangues, the same

Italians and Germans, II there are any at Madrid
win soon follow the example and II there arc none
dresses JOrms an essential pd1't or a revolutionary
programme, and these are sacred things. These
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
terest in cOncealing While reviews are being held,
adhesions sent in and banners displayed there is no
agitation, but parties dissfDune this forced inacton
Is mask caused by the dist''ust the CHIEFS or the
increment estes'tnfa or each Other and the secret
or the revolution speak too oten in fact Of their
union, or the sincerity OF their common aspirations
OF their resolution 70 maintain tins accord for their
suspected II they were Is perfectly agreed they
pretend, they would not be SO reserved, so mysteri
ously discreet; they would tell the Spanish people
what is the government they advise. They remain
quiet they disslmulate, because they know that
each OF them has in his pocket his remedy for the
difficulty different from that which hts companion
In adventure would wish TO administer, and each Of
them watches the moment when he can get his own
swallowed. The solution Which SerranO would wish
to pre- vail Ii evidently different from that which
Admiral Topete would prefer aud tnat OF the latter
certainly does not agree with that OF Prim, without
counting others which the radical republicans wish
to impose on the natl0n-they who have joined the
train Of the generals In the great Revolutionary
terprise ana VINO are now going TO endeav0r to take
the lead.
The French journals continue 10 dcluge the Span
iard5 with advice, and to propose various forms Of
government among which they have only to choose.
We are OF opinion that the Inhabitants or the PENN
sula ought to know better than we what suits them,
and that they are quite as fully convinced as any
outside their country be OF the necessity ofptting
prompt end as possible to the provisional order
Of things and establishing regu ar government.
In France shows itself theoretically opposed TO ererv
notion or intervention. The Legitlmfs and Ultra
montane prints alone express o different desire.
The Monde foresaw the other day contingency
Uairegs insinuates, somewhat timidly indeed, that
the imperial government trould not do tcr0n0 to
send an army into Spain, there 70 set mp ON the
throne the descendant or Charles "; after which
the same body Of troops might proceed to Italy In
order to restore legitimate monarchy ut Naples Mo-
dena and Parma. This double expedition would,
according to the legitimist Journal consolidate the
imperial government in France. Between the Bour-
bons and the B0naparte family, union, IL ts clear,
cannot be more close nor an understanding more
cordial "Ali this is elementary and naturaLn says
the print we speak or and to believe It nothing else
can be done TO restore authority and liberty. But It
adds In melancholy tone:-"Are we able and will
ing to accomplish Il y, Alas that people may not
wish for It Is something 10 be feared.
