You can apologize, promise to NEVER do that again and beg for forgiveness. After that all you can do is wait. After a few weeks you can try again. If the friend still can't get over it you need to move on and try to be a better friend in the future to others. "Them" is plural. why did you use that instead of telling us the gender of your friend?

That going to be a VERY hard thing to do...Depends on the severity of what you told about them, i suppose. I would say, simply put: admit your stupidity. Tell the friend that you wer'ent TRYING to be malicious & it just kinda slipped out during a regular conversation. Make sure you drive home the fact that you were not TRYING to betray their trust or be mean or ANYTHING. Make sure you get them alone so you can give the conversation as much time as it needs to unfold. Be SERIOUS. Betraying a friend is a very serious offense, but as long as this is thei first time & last time & you make a sincere apology, I would think your friend will forgive you. BEst of luck!

Well, it is kind of difficult to do so. Hopefully your friend is forgiving,
If you told someone in revenge then you should say
"I am so sorry, I was angry and I didn't think at all, would you forgive me. I really value our friendship and I never meant to break it up."
If you did so because you wanted to say something just to(gossip)
"I am so sorry, I wasn't thinking one bit and I let some things slip. I admit, what I did was stupid, and unthoughtful, would you forgive me? I really do value our friendship."
Notice how either way you made it clear that you really want to be friends. If they talk back, then be as understanding as possible. Don't talk back to them and just show that a relationship with them is way better then being right.
Good Luck

Actions speak louder than words. If you really want to regain your friends trust...you need to prove it to him/ her. Call them, buy them a gift and really apologize for what you did. Remember people can forgive but never forget. Earn that trust back and admit your faults. Good Luck!

it would be nice if you told me what you said, but i'll do what i can.
if he/she's a really good friend, then he/she will forgive you if you say you're very sorry in a few ways.
for a girl, don't speak to her, don't even look at her. just send her flowers and nice stuff with or without your name.
for a guy, hmm... i guess you could be really nice to him.
that's all i got.
oh, and if they don't forgive you ever, and they really mean it, then don't try anymore, unless they give you hints that they want to be your friend again.

Gossip, rumours and lies are the biggest killers of friendship. I don't know what
you did but you need to go that person, sit down and talk. You need to come clean and ask forgiveness. If you are not willing to, then the person's
friendship isn't that important to you. Good luck.

Unfortunately, you can't really make it up to them. They have to find it in their heart to forgive you, and they may or may not.
If you try to push yourself back in their life, you'll end up pushing them farther away. Just let them know how much you want to apologize, that it was wrong, and that you want to be friends again.
I know that's not what you wanted to hear, but that's about all you can do...

Sincerely apologize. Buy them something nice as a make-up gift?

You could start by apologizing. If that doesn't work, then you may want to look for other friend's. It would alway's be hard for this friend to trust you with anything else they told you.

Tell your friend how sorry you are and you do not blame him or her for being mad at you but if he or she can find it in their heart to forgive you for not thinking before you spoke . Tell your friend you do not want to lose him or her as a friend .
