The matifestation by this ume | Raving attained great proportions, part took the Caile Mayor and part took ihe Calle Arenal, uniting again in the Plaza Oriente, under the win- , dows of the palace.

A little betore this manifestation assembled some of the University students set oif in procession to the house of Setior Zorrilla, in front of which they gave many vivas. They sent 2 deputation to ex- press their sympathies wii him and to ask him to addreas them, He thanked the deputation, but de- clined to make a speech in the present phase of afairs, though, ia response to their salutations, he Said he would saow himself to them from the val- cony, Which he did, and was loudly cheered. Of the students then marche, to the palace, where they sought an interview with the King. his was very Properiy, out very courteously, denied them by General itossells, the Chief of the Cuarto Militar del Palacio, who told them that Hts Majesty was occit- } pled, but that any document they prepared in w.it- ing would be instantly presenied to him. ‘They re- ured and broxe up thelr procession in the greatest order.

The Present Condition of tho Country—Mean- ing of the Late Elections—A Reign of Ter- ror—Fears and Surmiscs—fho Agents of Bouapartism aud Bou: beonism Active. PARts, Oct. 9, 1871, No commentary upon the comiltion of things in | France could be more eloquent and instructive than , ‘he result of the elections to the Conseils Générauz. The fcatures which have marked all the etections— and they Lave beea numerous- siace September 4, 1870, lave been successfully reproduced, with a more heightened color and deeper effect. The triumph of the worst elements in the country has been each {ime more decided, because cach time the absten- tion from the polls of the honest and order-loving ciasses has been more and More markeu. The proof that terrorism exists ts found in the fact that it is precisely in piaces most seriously threatened by revolutionary violence tiat this abstention 1s Dost observable. Thus in the city of Marseilics, \ where over seventy-five thousand voters are in- ; Scribed, the total of votes polled yesterday was less ‘ than thirty-five thousand, Toe comsequence was | that the “red”? ticket was elected by @ majority of | two-thirds of the votes poiled; and among the | elected for the department 1s Baragnoa, fresh from ; bis trial before a court martial for attempts to ex- | cite civil war.

They sug- gested Zorriila's Minister of War, General Cordova, | who had accompanied the King in his journey, asa | suitable porsou to form a Miuistry. Cordova was | eccordingly sent for.

ANOTHER APPEAL TO SAGASTA. Sagasta was then called a third time, and sug- gested \ice Admiral Maicampo. to Whom he said tus friends would lend all thelr support. Malcampo, summmoed, accepted the task Coaditionaily, and av once se: to work, of Course under Seior Sagasta’s | tnspiration to form his Cablact, At four this after- | neon Admiral Maicampo reported to His Majesty the namcs I have given you, with the exception of Sefor Cantalapiedra, who, being in the provinces, had been telegraphed to with the offer of the Minis- try of State, and whose answer liad not been re- ceived. Since then he has accepte |, and to-morrow the new Cabinet present tuemseives to tue Cortes, HOW MADRID FEELS ABOUT Ir. I must give you au idea of the ferm-nt created in Madrid by the upset of the Zorrilla Ministry. Let me take things in their order. The Tertulia Progresista, or Progresisia Ciub, had arranged for a mecting on | Tuesday night, at the instance of the Vice Presl- | dent, the Deputy Sefor Liant y Persi, who, with another of 118 members, the Deputy Seior Salmeron, bad made the tour of the provinces with the King. The meeting had been summoned merely to hear trom those gentiemen an account of the principal events of the royal journey; but, in view of the turn Of political ma ‘3, they agreed to discuss the atti- tude they ought to take in view of the crisis, Sellor | Lianly Tersi reviarked that he thought the Tertulia | ought to express its sympathies with the Zorrilia | Miuistry, as it hal tuifilied the programme 1 pre- sented to the country the day it tock office. They oughi co respect and uphola a Ministry which ad revived the national credit, regu- lated the finances, levelled the estimates, | made public administration moral, aud sustained public Order. ‘The Tortulia accorded to go en masse felicitate Sef) rrila “for tls glortous fall.’?

MOVEMENTS OF TIF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS, Early yesterday morning the greater partof the | University stucents turned out to wake a demon- tration against Sagasta and in favor of Zorriila. They parased tie streets ior some time, passing the houses of both, aud giving the vivas of ‘ile’ and “Death,” respeciively, before each. ‘he most im- Porlant Mauifosialion Was (ue one beid iu the Prado the aiternoon, unler the shadow of the Dos de ayo Monument.

He conciuded wih “Vira (a So- berania nacional’ ‘Viva el Goierna radical 1" RADICALS TO THE DEFENCE. Sefior Garcia remarked on wie necessity of union | which ts that the Deputies shall vote upon no ques-. | stant ani tertained for it by the radicals, the very lists con- aemned as dishonest, only two wecks ago, by the Ministry of the Iaterior, were the lisis used yester- day. The conservatives in the meantime expend their energies in mere protests, which are as harm- less to the victorious enemy as the paper they are printed on. GIVING AN ACCOUNT OF TIEIR. STEWARDSHIP. Last week the newspapers of Lyons amused their Teaders by @n account of what occurred on the re- turn home of the Deputies of the secona city in France. Messieurs Millaud and Ordinaire are the elect of the radicals, and as sach had to go before the Revolutionary Committee of the Rue Grolée to render an account of their stewardship. Millaud, while giving certain explanations, appeared to pro- West against the nindat impéraliy, or imperative orders, of his masters, His violent denunciation of the Assembly couid not save him, In vain he called his legislative colleagues “old fois,” “idiots,” “ty- ‘drivellcrs,” &c., in order to appease the wratn of the friends and brothers. ‘The president of the club, one Favier, a book- binder, stopped him in the middle of his speech, nq, referring to his remarks on the manda‘ im- pératy, sald, majestically, “We are accus- tomed to see our will obeyed and re. epected; do not forget it.” The other Deputy QUrainaire, took warning and sald nothing al ut the obnoxious mandas, the precise meaning of tion without first consulting, by telegraph, the will of the revolutionary ciub. - 4 REIGN OF TERROR, There is a dread upon men’s. minds, All the cities and towns are patrolled ail night long by cavairy aud miantry, The constraint is 80 irksome that it must produce reaction. In fac! beginning of re- action is plainly perceptible in certain quarters, The Figaro 1s not perhaps a doubdle-turreted monitor, throwing very heavy metal, but such metal as it does throw, when in a serious mood, can make its wark. In its issue of last Friday, the 6th, it makcs an appeal on behalf of the legitimate monarchy unier Henri V. in atwo columu article, written With considerable power. It has been ex- tensively copied and commented on, and in these comments the monarcnical party sbow that they are reflecting ou their moral and material strength. The London Ties falls into error when Le date igd the monarchists are completely paralyzed and Idie. There have been, it must be admitted, ample grouads ior such @ supposition; but within a mouth, even, things ave assumed new features. All honcst men are anstous to nave done forever with the pre- sent state of affairs, and even the Bonapartists woulu accept the old Bourven monarchy with plea- sure rather than see themselves threatened In their persons, families and property by the great tidal wave of anarchy which every one fears is gathering Strength to submerge society la France, FEARS POR THE FUTURE. The following article from La Patrie will better tl- lustrate We meaning of the preceding sentence, wihtle it conveys am admirably correct idea of the etal’ Ol men’s minds in France and the general con- dijon of altars, ‘The Liderié of the 6th having said, ‘The Patric is | @ prey to a poliiical imtsaathropy, wherein personal regrets too complacently magaily the shadows 0 the picture,” that @x-semt-ofictal imperialist paper thus defends itsel!:— “If vy personal regrets,” the Lybertc means @ bitter or morose chagrin In recalling what is no more, and a craving desire for areturn of the past, the Literte ruas a rise of de- ceiving itself. € 7. hs Our regrets are of another nature, and they a: so ardent that we couid not, even if ‘would, tone down our expressivn of them.

The General says that his object had not been'to treat the mere abstract question touching the num- ber of soldiers that Russia can send into the feid; but that he desired to expose the more practical portion of the question, namely, what forces are re- quired or necessary to take the field, and then he goes on to expose the popular error wiich led tothe belief that the western borders of Russia necded not to be taken into account whenever the Czar should be called upon to make an end of inis Eastern ques- | tion. in refuting the assertion that the campaiga | the following POINTS. First—A coalition was proposed by the Em- peror Napoleon—Austria hesitated during @ few days only. It required, however, but little addl- tional pressure at that time and Wwe should have seen France, Austria and Italy united against us, Not to speak of Prussia, whose government Was at shat period In a state of unconsciousness on the Eastern question, Second—England alone was determined to keep she Polish ees separated from the confict in the East; 1, therefore, the seat of war nas been transferred to our Eastern borders, that change Was not solely due to the resolve of the great Powers in the West. It depended on Austria to epen the gates, ‘since the Toad lay furough her terrory, where alone the allied forces could reach us. Third—We desisted from opening hostilities in the West trom the moment when we accepted the ultt- matam proposed by Austria. We submitted to a sacrifice; otherwise the main battles would have been lought om our western frontiers. CALCULATIONS. “In making my calcalations,” continues General Fadejew, “{ uid not consijter what has been done, but what ought to have been done provided we had not waived the bold we had on Austria and there- ‘With withdrawn our demands,” ‘The General says:—*‘No barometer so plainly deter- mines the state of the weather as the position of the Oriental question can determine the degree of enmiiy of Austria, To England and to France it is @ mere question of political import, but to Austria the East presents a question of actual exist- ence so it is to us, but in an opposite sense." HISTORICAL EVENTS. He then refers to the alliance made in 1786 between Joseph LL. and the Empress Catherine IL, for the purpose of conquering, dividing and regen- erating Turkey. Following bistorical events up to the year 1851, he says that to all appear- ances—at least outwardly—n> change had taken place in the position which the old alliances so clearly depicted. Prussia, although disposed to be dissatisfied with the provisions of the Treaty of 1851, did not forsake her old ally. But itis more | than questionable whether Napoleon would have | dared to come forward in the bold manner he dtd uniess he had possessed the certainty of being backed up by Austria. The incendiary demonstra- | téons made by the French Emperor, which tended answered by a marci on Chalons; but Napoleon knew fall well that the “Holy Alliance” would offer no opposition, and that the Vienna Convention ; would be trampled upon. If at that period a word in season bad fallen from the parties adhering to the Holy Alliance, England would have in- stantly withdrawn from the contest. “In the absence of & guarantee, the French demon- strations in 1853 would have appeared senseless, and, taking all into consideration, it is not diMicalt to come to the conclusion that on Austria alone and not on France the blame attaches of Irby ata po about the coalition of 1854, Whatever may be said to the contrary, the facts, unless frauais introduced, can- not be changed, Austria deemed it prudent to keep her own fingers out of ihe fre; she released the allied Powers from their obiigations towards her, and by doing 80 Sompeliod the Kussian forces vo re- tire behind the line of the Pruth.”” The Austrian government, General Fadejew says, showed the greatest amount of opposition at the con- clusion of peace. But he asks, ‘What if it should now come to a decisive blow and end forever that everlasting question in the East’ It may be per- missible to deceive us twice, but no imore than twice In the same manner, and it is for the second ene Austria has made attempts io that direc- n. THE FATE OF TURKEY, “To decide conclusively the fate of Turkey it suf- fices, irrespective of what may be done by the mart- time Powers, to march with 150,000 men straight to the Bosphorus, and to place 250,000 men along the iine of the Danube. There would be no dificuity in executing these operations, provided we have a force large enough to co-operate on the Baltic, on the borders of the Black Sea and in the Caucasus, We can steal a march on the armies of the Western Powers In reaching not only the Balkan. but even Constantinople, before they are aware of ft. Sup- ose It were posstble—and it seems very difficult to | believe it possible—to mevt us under the walis of Constantinople with a force such as they assembled in 1854—namely, 60,000 men—they could not deleat 150,000 Russians, no matter how large the Turkish, army, for at such a juncture no regiments of Turk- ish reguiats would exist. Long before te European , allies could arrive the Turks woula be scattered tu the winds.” * * * * * * PUBLIC OPINION IN RUSSIA. Ineed not extract more than the foregoing to show plaimly the spiritof General Fadejew's argu- ment. The language ha bolds is afair sample of public opinion among Russians. A certain portion of the press follows 10 the same strain, while others are using every endeavor to gloss matters over. No one knows the resolve of the Emperor, nor does any, one know whether, ina miiitary point of view, the: country 1s prepared (o wage war. ner or later at rg) come ie pee Ganenek tec a H fe ceive, lays all the blame on tria, while he exonerates France. And what of Germany, it may be-asked ? HOW GRXMANY MIGHT ACT, The answer is simple. Prussia—the late Prus- sia—in her Itmmiited sphere of action was compelica to side with Russia, but, acting as she does now, In beiialf of Germany and ay a great Power, there.ts ne- cessarily achi eolfroat, The great German empire will claim.a rieht to put her veto on record.

The test activ! ° the department. People living outside of Russia are little aware of the enormous preparations now in progress. Even those living in the couatry have avery imperfect knowledge of what 1s going on under their very noses. The fact is the government desives no controversy, no discussion, in order to avoid an unnecessury show of their actual strength, nor to expose their weak points. ¢ vast re- sources of the Russian empire are little known abroad, and sttll less. are they appreciated by for- gu It, therefore, the military strength is undervatued outside of Russia, it is not tor the go’ ernment to take active: wich the view of mi ing foreigners any wiser. I should not at ail be sur- prised to. learn that false reports are disseminated abroad for Dagpoees. of leading people into a belief of military weakness in the Russian army.
