THE REVLOTIONS IN EUROPE. Tee Expulsion of Charles X.—Louis Phil- ipys6-Louis Napoleon—Spain—The Insurrec- tlong in the States of Italy, Germany, the Provinces of Austria=Their Effect aud What ‘They Have Taught the People=Is a Gen- eral Revolution Like That of 1848 Im- miuent ¢ f It is not a far-fetched or figurative expressioy, to say of Europe at this time that it is in @ transition state. We all are aware that in the mors) as in the physical world effects are as their cayises, By im- mutable law physical changes are pot more positive im the economy of the universe than by moral flat are those which happen, and unceasingly, in the social relations, and which advance or retard the mentality, the morality, the civilization, and higher than these, because the outgrowth of every pre- eeding psychal condition, the liberty of thought and @etion in government—the to be, so far as it is con- sistent with the well being of our fellows, “a law unto ourself.” This is the secret of every moral and Political movement which, since man became a @ocial being, has marked the progress of the world, The mind of man has ever striven for the mastery, and when the grosser elements of force and of incon- gruous conditions have attempted to repress its aspi- rations, it, with the same certainty that characterizes the escape from the interior of the globe of the mol- ten masses and vaporous elements, will effect its purpose by revolution—by fierce assault upon that which attempts to hold it down—to crush it to the earth. When the interior of the globe is charged with those violent elements that are generated by unhappy conditions, if at the culminating point they Mind but limited escape to the exterior, we are over- whelmed with terrible convulsions, such as visited South America a few weeks ago, and the effects of which it has been since ascertained were experi- enced in great tidal waves on the lines of the arctic @ircle and westward 9,000 miles on the continental and insular shores of Asia, As with the physical so is it with the moral relations of the earth, When the aspirations of a nation—when the aggregated mind of any people by violent external measures is repressed, the elements of revolution scethe and boil and bubble beneath, until finally they cannot longer be pent up, and when least anticipated burst forth with hideous roar, overwhelming and destroy- ing In their sweeping, impetuous course every land- mark, however ancient, however respected, .how- ever fixed in the minds of legislators and governors: Of narrow vision, as bulwarks of the State—mos grown, fossilized pillars that conserve nothing save the hatred which, growing and strengthening aa it grows, shadows the ever widening chasm that Givides the rulers from the ruled, It may with certainty be asserted that when the earth is pregnant with those overwhelming fires whieh consume and rend the globe itself, when the atmosphere is charged to excess with electrical forces that are the precursors of tornadoes which, breaking loose, are as destructive in their effect as the most violent earthquakes, the “peoples” in the More advanced, and possibly in the least nations, g@eem to come Into sympathy with these terrestral and celestial convulsions, and insurrections of greater or less magnitude and correspondingly seem to follow them. A curious paraliel might be drawn between the disturbances which @re physical to the earth and those which are moralin man. The great French revolution of 179, which ended in overturning the throne of Louis XVI. and erecting on its ruins and on that of the quasi republic Which foliowed the seat of the Napo- Teonie empire, was preceded by the terrible earth- quake of Lisbon, in which 60,000 people perished, fm 1755, and a year or two later by a tornado that swept over nearly the whole-surface of Europe. ‘The eartikxjuake which desolated Caraceas and thousands of people in 1812 was in 1819 and 1820 succeeded by the insurrections which destroyed Spain; and to these may be added the earthquake at Naples in 1857—the premonitions of its destruction as a king- dom, and, in the following year, that which par devasiated the city and territory adjacent of Me Which merely auticipated the invasion of t try and the su quent efforts of France to erect therein an empire for a scion of the house of Naps. rg. These parallels might be continued with even More closeness and clearness if it were necessary, but at present it ts only desirable to © tion of the reader to a brief review of the revolutions Which have disturbed Zurope since about 1830, and to consider the causes, the results, the leaders and the effects these have had ou its political divisions severally and on that continent as a whole. In a foriner article on the in Spain,”? that of 1822, against the tyranny of Ferdinand the Seventh, his priests and nobles, the peop! pon- Jointly with the army, was fuily considered.

Unhappily for his Kingdom he gradually gathered around him men ho were inimical to progress or liberty. Persuaded By them and forgetting his solemn oaths to the peo- and the Cortes, he commenced a system of anny, of blood thirsty cruelty that in the ise of years compelled his army and the ple to take up arms in defence of their rights. The tyrant was in brief time necessitated compromise first, and next to abdicate: but the joly Ailiance convened a Congress at Verona, and y resolution authorized France to enter Spain with armed force and reinstate the cruel purposed monarch.

From its dire effects ita people have not wholly recovered to the present aay. As other uprisings and revoluttons, successful £ unsuccessful, in the peninsula were fully noticed the article to which we refer, we shall confine our attention to those which, as we have already inti- ed, in their causes, effects and leaders changea Ferre complexion of Europe, advancing some ralistic ideas, while none have been seriously 4mpeded in their march toward a higher civ!lization, consequently juster and the adoption of more jumane systems in the economy of government and administration of law. Europe is, to speak figuratively, standing on the @dge of a volcano that may at any moment break Es terrific force and sweep the present systems f government into oblivion, We look for these ad revolutions of power and of opinion, @ not be surprised should—suddenly and wit it warning, like a vast avalanche of snow loosen- from its moorings and descending with incal- & ble impetuosity down the side of some Alpine ill, buries beneath in inevitable ruin fair villages and fairer fields in the vales beneath—these come upon usin a night. The revolutions of 1789, of 1840, oF isa, of 1848 and of yesterday in Spain were a! but undreamed of by the “peoples” until they actu- ally found themselves in the midst of the fire and slaughter and din of arms of internecine war, brother contending against brother and the dearest relations, engendered by the heat and anger of the mon broken up and lost forever; what happened in th yeurs named may happen in this or the year that Bvon Will dawn upon us. There Is no just reason for reuading ourseives that the era of revolution hae Femec away from Europe. No! So longas asingie soul feeis itseli oppressed—so long as in the admin istration of the laws, in the political equality of the man, in the perfect freedom of the mind, in all that is consonant with the happiness of the soul there shall remain aught of wrong—there will be found a ep out of Which revolution ist ultimately pring and avenge io a thousand ways the indignity put upon it. Europe, therefore, is this day on the verge of revolutions that will perhaps prove more dread(ui in their immediate consequences than can now be contemplated; but when the storms of war have passed away, when peace shall have resumed its gentle sway over the wicked, devastated earth, it ‘Will be found that these were beneficial, that save in temporary material wealth nothing was really lost to humanity or to the nations as independent Sta’ In 1580 @ revolution broke out in France, which, however, had no other object than to compe! Charies X., who ascended the throne of the Bourbons in 1824, with every prospect of enjoying a happy reign, to abdicate and thus give place to the Orieanists, who presently put their chief, Louis Philippe, at the head of the State, This coup d'état might have enced hap- pily for all parties had not the dethroned monarch, ‘who during his reign had attempted to suppress the legislative rights of the subject and make himee!f the State as well as the King, been unnerved by his terrors. The Prime Minister, Prince Polignac and the Duchess de Berri were his advisers: and the people @istrusting them equally with their monarch, nnder the leaders of the liberal party, flew to arms, and soon a fierce war commenced, which ended in lacing Louis Philippe securely on the throne as the Ring. not of France but of ‘the French.’ The insur- rection against Charles X.

He was for peace when his army moons panted for giory, plunder and war; and when he could not longer uphold himself by direct and honest measures he resorted to bribery, For years this engine was kept tn full play, and political opponents were pur- chased with the revenues of. the State as cattle are bought in the market. Louis Philippe’s abdication in February of 1848 gave the leaders of the press, the literary men and the more liberal minded of the military an opportunity to establish a republic, which at best was an ill-contrived affair. It lasted until December, 1851, when the Priuce-Presideut Napoleon, aided by the army, seized on Paris, and ithout notice, ruthlessly shot down the unarmed masses of people that gathered in the streets, and then proclaimed, amid indescribable terror, the Le a suppressing every vestige of the republic, Subsequently by a general election Prince Napoleon obtained the con- sent of France to his assuming the imperial purple. Although at the expense of fraud, bloodshed and perjury Napoleon Ill. erected the monarchy of the jourbons, in imitation of his uncle, into an empire, France has not suifered under rule, She has grown great and strong, and her master is con- sidered the most influential and without question the most powerful monarch ot the present day. “The calamitous effects of the revolution of 1848 in Europe,” as the latest writer on its history pleases to characterize the rapidity with which it spread over the Continent, and which since that year has. greatly redeemed its errors by the progress most of the nations that were involved in it have made in belialf of humanity, The influence of the revolution of Paris Was instantaneously felt throughout Christen- dom, Remarks Alison:—‘The shock of the moral earthquake was felt in every part of Europe. Italy was immediately in a blaze; Piedmont joined the revolutionary crusade, and the Austrian forces, expelled from Milan, were glad to seek an asylum behind the Mincio, Venice threw otf the German yoke aud dence of St. Mark. The Pope was driven from Kome, the Bourbons in Naples were saved from destruction only by the fidelity of the Swiss Guard severed from their dominion, and all Italy, from the extremity of Calabria to the foot of the Alps, had arrayed its forces against constituted authority and m opposition to the sway of the tramontane govern- roclaimed again the indepen- | ; Sultan, | generality of readers rarely recognized as of tmport- | ment. The ardent and the enthusiastic were every- wherg in transports and predicted the resurrection of agreat and united Roman repubiic from the courage of modern patriotism; the learned and experienced anticipated nothing but ruin to the cause of free- dom from the transports of a people incapable of exercising its powers and unable to defend its rights. Still more serious and formidable were the convul- sions in Germany, for there were men inspired with the Teutonic love of freedom and wielding the arms which so long had been victorious in the fields of Furopean fame. So violent were the shocks of the revolutionary earthquake in Fatherland that the entire disruptions of ciety and reins of the national independence seemed to be Uireatened by its eifects. Gov it was overturned after & violent contest in 1 fell aluost without a struggie, from the pus: imity ot its members in Vienna, The Prussians, especially in the great towns, entered, with the characteristic ardor of their disposition, into the career of revolu- tion; universal sulfrage was everywhere proclaimed, national guards established. The lesser States on the Khine all followed the example of Berlin, and an assembly of delegates from every part of th ither- land convened at Frankfort seemed to realize tor a brief period the dream of German unity and inde- pendence. But while the enthusiasis on the Khine were speculating on the independence of their coun- try the enthusiasis in Vienuw and Hungary were taking the most effectual steps to destroy it, A frightful civil war ensned in all the Ausirian pro- vinces wud soon acquired such strength as threat- ened to tear in pieces the whole of its vast domin- jons. No sooner was the central authority in Vienna overturned than rebellion broke out in all the pro- vinees. ‘The Slavenians revolted in Bohemia, the Lombards in Italy, the Magyars in Hungary; the close vicinity of a powerful Russian force alone restrained the Votes in Gaticia. Worse even, because more widely felt than the passions of democracy, the ani- mosities of race burst forth with fearful violence in ‘astern Europe. The standard of Georgi in Han- gary—whom the Austrians, distracted by civil war in all their provinces, were unable to subdue—soon atiracted # large part of the indignanc Poles, and neatly the Whole of the warlike Magyars to the fleld of battle on the banks of the Danube, Not a hope seemed to remain for the great and distracted Aus- trian empire, Chaos had returned; society seemed resvived into its original element, and the chief bul- wark of Europe against Mu: te domination ap- peared on the potut of belng broken up into several separate States, actuated by the most Violeat hatred ach other, and alike lucapable singly or together King bead against the vast and centralized power of Russia,” &c. Sach is the glowing picture which, somewhat dis- torted by his peculiar views, our author places be fore us of the revointion of 1848. It is, however, © tain that but for the intervention of this “Mnseo- vite’ bugbear in the internecine war of the provinces of Austria, in the Kingdom of Hungary, particulariy in its war agains: the Austrian government, an- other State would have been permanently estab- lished in the country of Kossuth and his com- patriots. In 1848 the Chartist organization in England was in its greatest force; but tts leaders were weak and pusillanimous, and it was suppressed before it came to a dangerous head by the well directed efforts of a government that, while it sternly reprobated violations of law, was wise enough to inake conces- sions that betrayed nelther weakness nor tyranny. But had the glorious uprising of 1845 no perma- nent effect on the governments of Europe? Let the Italy of to-day answer. But for French intervention a republic would doubtless exist tn Rome, or else the Papal States now, dangerous bones over which # weak and a strong power are contending, would have, as have Naples and other provinces of italy, became integral parts of the kingdom of Victor Emanuel—a kingdom which since 1859, under the patriotic fervor of the followers of Garibaldi, has grown into a second class Power. To the Sardinia of Victor Emanuel has been added province and kingdom until to-day the peninsula of the Komans needs but its ancient capital on the Tiber to make it an unquestioned Power among the States of the Mediterranean, and, if we read right present por- tents not as a kingdom, but in time as a republic, Italy, like Spain, may be said to be in a state of chronic insurrection, and she cannot be pacified #0 long as (7, in impertum) Rome and the terri- tory immediately surrounding it are under the sway of & governinent hostile to that of the people of the rest of the peninsula. And here it may again be re- marked that effects are as their causes, or, in mot direct words, but for the revo- lution of 1848, which effectual Ruatoees up the encrusted governments that had lened over the le, and let in light upon the dark transactions of their tyrannical rulers, Italy would now have beea divided into weak and petty States, ruled by despots as petty. Th 1848, in a single night, September 14, and with- out a drop of biood being shed, the people of Greece arose and, surrounding at Athens the palace of Otho, their King, compelled him to concede to them a con- tion, This, after a litte hesitation, he consented A convention was called and a fundamental jaw—which divided the powers of the State between the King and the lawmaking body chosen by the suffrages of the subjects—was drawn up and pre- sented to the monarch, who approved of it, In i862 there were two insurrections in Greece, The first was of a military character, and was promptiy suppressed. The second regulied in the ex- wision of King Otho and his Bavarian followers. The King went ona visit to the Pelop- ponesu on his return found himself shut out from his capital. He had not the power to control the will of his recalcitrant snbjects, and finally re- tired from the kingdom with the best grace he could summon to his ald. Otho was never gt with the Athenlans, He was doubtiess too honest for them. On the expulsion ot the Bavarian, Prince Al- bert, of England, was invited to the vacant throne, e wisely declined it, and subsequently the ks nominated Prince George, of Denmark, to chair of State. How long he may be permitted to hold It undisturbed is @ question Which the future only can resolve, Poland, subjngated, divided and annihilated by the Russians, Austrians and Prussians, has not even at In 1880-31 the peo- brave y the this hour lost her national life. ple of that er land = fought and heroically for national existence, buat forces of the Northern Bear — were strong for them, After many well fought fleide the troope of the Czar, in the month of September, 1891, entered Warsaw, Which was at once given to pillage and her women to the rude embraces of the soldiery, Her proudest citizens were seized and thrown into vile dungeons, from which they were sub- sequently exiled to Siberia. Very many of the Poles, however. succeeded in eluding the Kussian soldiery and police and in making their way to England and per liberal countries in Europe and America. Again in 1864 the people of Cracowsmade an attempt to regain their independence, wae not wisely timed. Its failure involved the los# of the best and bravest of the Polish youth, who by thousands perished on the fleld, on the gallows, in the dungeon ana in the bitterness of exile in the eternal snows of Northern Siberia, to which all the litical enemies of the Muscovite are sentenced.

We have here briefly referred to the insurrections of moment which have transpired within the last four decades in Europe. Except that of 1848 we find them isolated efforts, They, however, have taught the people one important lesson, viz.:—That when united their rights are within their grasp; when dis- united they are but the hinds, the tools of despots. THE WATER STREET REVIVAL. 'The Proprieties Respected in the Pit—No More Ratification Meetings—A Growl from the Great IncorrigiblemWhat Mr. Burns, the Elder, Thinks. If the gentlemen who conducted the prayer meeting held in Kit Burns’ dog pit yesterday could only reform their less reverend associates so far as to make them behave a little more like rational Christians, the Water street revival movement might yet be the means of inducing some of the hardened sinners who abound in that locality to turn from the evii of their ways, Having hitherto not only permitted, but in their mistaken zeal actual encouraged, the unseemly demonstrations whic have excited such general indignation, the organizers of the mission seem now to be earnestly desirous of effecting such a thorough reformation as shall convince all interested in the good work of evangelization that whatever errors they may have committed in their mode of procedure they are at least free from the charge of insincerity. From the vast improvement manilested in the conduct of yes- terday’s meeting it is clear that this much needed reform has already been commenced, and those who have witnessed any of the blasphemous burlesques recently enacted at the Water street matinées will rejoice to learn that the reverend managers are seri- Sicily was | ously thinking of producing parely religious at- traclions instead. THE DOG PIT. Not more than twenty or thirty persons were present in the amphitheatre at the commencement of the services, but at the close nearly all the seats were occupied, The majority of the visitors had at any rate the outward appearance of being respecta- ble members of society, and conducted themselves accordingly. Several elderly ladies of maideniy aspect graced the little gailery, which Mr. Burns reserves fur the accommodation of such members of the fair sex as may honor his establishment with a visit, and sister Kurns would probably have been considerably astonished had she witnessed the tender solicitude of her liege lord on their behail. Whenever a lady appeared at the door Kit imine- diately took her under his protection, cleared a pas- sage through the loafers who crowded the barroom, and escorted her to the pit with as much grace and solemnity as the most pious of church ushers could have displajed. There are soft places yet in the heart of this rugged dog fighter.

As those who had been listening so attentively to the blind man’s story were passing through the bar- room, mine host of the “Sportsinan’s Hall" we heard complaining of a certain reporter, whom lie declared had “gone back” on him, low's that, Kit? asked one of his friends. ‘Why, some fellow got his snoot busted round the corner there, somewhere, and the paper made it out as if] knew all abont it.

A resolution was adopted granting permission ¢> subordinate lodges and encampments to assist with their funds the institution and establishment of new lodges and encampments in either their own or ott er uriadictions. ‘he special order get apart for this morniag—that of the Grand Lodge of the United States holaing its next session in San Francisco—was then taken up, when the chairman of the Committee on Mileay and Per Diem reported that after a computation of the mileage it was found that the expense of con- centration at Omaha, instead of Baltimore, wonla add to the cost of the session only about #00. After considerable debate the Grand Lodge agreed by an almost unanimous yote to accept the invitation Trou the representatives of Californi, Resolved, That the next Annual Communteation W. Grand Lodge be held in the city of San Francisro, in the State of California, and that the oillicers and mem ye paration may be heard, and all the signs of a severe and hotly contested conflict may be seen, From Harlem to the Battery nightly meetings are held, processions formed, and the usual disp! of pyro- technics and the music of bands are to be heard and witnessed. Though the fight wages pretty evenly on both sides, and victory has not yet shown. any signs as to which banner she will select for & resting place, and though at this stage very strenu- ous efforts have been put forward by either side, it is pretty evident that the main force and reliance of the contestants are kept in reserve, The Tammany Hiall General Committee are determined that their great display of strength and turnout intended for the 5th October next will excel any political demon- stration that has as yet been witnessed in this city. ‘This demonstration is intended to serve a double purpose—to consolidate the present whole voting force of the party in this city and to give a demo- cratic welcome to General McClellan on his re- turn here, The largest demonstration of the kind was given by tho same party in 1864, when the whole | appointment of radicals to oMce in Ohlo, ‘There ty | RW.

Beyond these meetings and banner raisings and openings and dedications of wigwams, and new clubs for the “Tanners” and the ‘Boys in Blue,” there is no actual clash of the opposing forces to be chronicled, This skirmishing is all that the leaders desire or will permit at pres- ent, They are holding their forces in reserve, watch- ing with great earnestness and with an eye to every contingency the game of politics, upon the result of which they have so much at stake. The people are also with deeper feclings watching the same game, and knowing well the immensity of their interest in the result, are determined, when the time comes for their action, that they shall not be misled by party representations; that their judgments shall not be Warped by the prejudices or cajolery of this or that party, but, taking acalm and dispassionate view of the whole situation, will go to the polls in November next and record their votes in favor of the men whom they shall have adjudged best fitted to steer the ship of State through the troubled waters that now surround it. THE TAMMANY POLICY nt to allow things to mature as quietly as The ring are completely masters of the jc situation should matters turn outexactly as they anticipate, and besides they have, or deen they have, prepared for every contingency that may arise. Bisma Sweeny controls the councils of the ring, and as long asthe Tammany policy is so di- rected it holds everything check that revolves around a public ofice within the gift of ‘Pammany, But as these gifts have not been always disposed of to suit all part there is just now among dei crats in good standing, with the exception of their opposition to Tammany, a determination todo all the injury they can to Tammany, first in disputing her nominations to oflves, and even to the extent of voting adversely to the regular democratic ticket. There are some good, hard working, sensible men still clinging to the Democratic Union and Mozart organizations, and they have a pretty strong force at their back, with which they are determined to fight Tammany to the bitter end, At another time these outside organizations would not be of much account, and ) Id sweep them out of her path by the purchase of leaders, but now they have no hungry seekers after office, for whom certain these days, and all sorts of tricks are resorted to to make capital.
