LONDON, Sept. ! The Times contrasts
the French revolution of l848 with the pres
ent revolution in Spain. In the former tho
people ruled. When the power given to
Gen. Cavaignac was turned against the peo'
pie, the sovereignty, after short but terrific
struggle, fell. In Spain, the army governs,
yet the army, although ruling, has neither
conquered nor fought for its power. A
struggle with the people is always imminent;
but the contending forces are unequal, and
the odds are against the people, Among
Spanish statesmen there is no Cavagnac.
They try strategem, corruption, and sur.
prise, but dare not employ force. The revo-
luton has hardly moved q step, and the
whole affair lies in O nut shell. sfrom the
beginning, the question is still whether the
army or the people are to have the upper
hand.

been the victim of foul play.

NEw YORK, Sept. ll.-SpeciaI dispatches
