FOREIGN NEWS.
The revolution in Cuba coutiu-
ucs, having degeneraJed however
into a purely guerrilla war.
For some time past the trial OF
Marshal BaZainc for the surrender
OF Metz, has divided public attcn-
ton in France, with the vital ques-
tiUn of OF a permanent Govern
ment. The court martial which is
trying Bazaine, Is presided over
by the Due dAnmaIc, u member of
the Orleans family. We DO not
think that Marshal Bazainc, who
rose II his high command in the
armies OF France, from the ranks,
will be adjudged traitor by the
Court 10 which he has appealed.
However his trial Is no ordinary
one, no surrender in modern times
can be compared with his surren-
der of Metz, and the $4,000 men
he commanded, and it will call out
much of the hitherto unwrittcn his
tory of that great war. We await
events.
Political affairs in France are ap
preaching a crisis. The dcsccn-
dants of Louis the 14th, and the
representatives Of the Orleans fam
lily have formed an alliance look
ing to the elevation of the Count
D'ChambOrd TO the Throne of
France, under the title Of Henry
the 9th. The London times OF the
18th, on this point, says:
From exact information it APP
pears that the mOnarchial parties
have come to an absolute agree
mcnt. Chamboard has made con
cessions which are satisfactory to
the liberal monarchisJs, and the fol-
lowing will be submitted at the
opening Of the Assembly:
"The proc!amatIon Of the hcredi-
tary constitutional monarchy, the
King promising liberty of consci-
cnce; and equality before the laws
as the right Of all
The Monarchists arc confident
of a majority in the Assembly. 1t
is said that 4l6 deputies are plcdg-
ed to support the restoration Of
royalty"
However, the Republicans are ac-
tive under the discreet leadership of
NJ. Theirs, and will leave no stone
unturncd TO defeat the monarchial
movement. The following dispatch
from Paris, dated Oct. 10Th, throws
some light on the movements OF the
Republicans 1.-The Republicans
are working with great activity and
energy TO counterfeit the designs OF
the MOnarchists. EX-PrcSident
Thiers yesterday spoke confidently
of the result. The Deputies of the
Extreme Left hold i meeting on
Monday and the Moderate Rcpubli-
cans on Tuesday. They will prob
ably unite in proposing to the As
sembly that the question OF the res
! tOratiOn of royalty he referred to
the commission which is charged to
report on constitutional laws
In the meantime the lmpcarlists
insist on 4 pkebicite, and vet are I'M
uerstoOd TO favor the Republicans,
as against the Monarchial move
ment. The French Assembly, which
meets in few GAYS, will settle these
differences, or, as compromise,
continue Marshal McMahOu's Prcsi-
dcncy for five years.
There are rumors Of bad blood
between France and Italy, but there
seems no good grounds tor apprc-
hcnding an early breach OF friendly
relations.
1t is also reported that the Ger
man and Austrian Empires and the
Kingdom of Italy have formed an
alliance, offensive and defensive"
as against France on the Church
question. In confirmation of this
theory, the recent visit Of King Vic
tor Emanuel, of Italy, to Berlin and
Vienna, is by some, considered con-
elusive.
In Spain the Carlists seem TO have
been worsted IN nearly all the move
ments and battles of the past two
months, while the insurrcctiOuists
of Cartagena and other seaport
towns, are we'll nigh suppressed.
Yet, the situatiOnin Spain i gloomy
and full Of peril to the government
of the new made and blood baptized
Republic.
Mexico is still in chronic state
of revolution. and all hopes Of good
government in that country, under
the management of the race that
now occupies ii, are abandoned.
South and Central America are
also engaged in civil war, and Wild
unbridlcd revolution eigns in many
States.
In the future we will give a care
ful summary of the foreign news.
