Citis-Ds!—The provisional government has been installed ; it £ s composed , by the will of the people , of the citizens , Arago , Louis Blanc , Marie , Lamartine , riocen , tedm-Rollin , Kecurt , Marrast . Aubert . To watch over the execution of the measures which will be tafeeaby the government , the will of the people has also chosen for delegates in the department of the police the citizens Cauuidiers and Sobrler . The same sovereign will of the people has designated the citiien Et . Arago to the Direction-General ofthe Post-office . As first execution ef the orders given by the provisional government , it is advised that the bakers , or furnishers of provisions of Paris , keep their shops open to all those who may have occasioa for them . It is expressly recommended to the people not to quit their arms , their positions , or their revolutionary attitude . Tbey have often been deceived 6 y treason ; it is important that tbey should not f ive opportunities to attacks as criminal as they are terrible .
In order to satisfy the general wish of the sovereign people , tha prorisional government has effected , with iheaii of thsXatlonal Guard , the liberation of all our hrotbers who have bees imprisoned on politlcal ) grounds . But it has , at the same time , detained in the prisonsalso with the assistance of the most honourable National Guard—all those who have been convicted of crimes and misdemeanours against tbe person and property . The families of the citizens who have died or have been wounded in defending the rights of the sovereign people , are invited to present , as soon as possible , to the delegates of the department of police , the names of those who have fallen victims to their devotion to the public cause , in order that their most pressing wants may he attended to .

allien insolent and victorious , demanded ia tha midst of the coteries all the rights which aro the force ana honour of civilisation , in the name of the people , cmqueror in its tarn—we dem « nd even at this moment that these rights be recognised , applied , and guaranteedthat the law bo made by a National Assembly elected by the true suffrage ef France—that the Executive power be responsible and delegated—that the national army have for its only duty tho defence of the territory , and that the Civic Guards lorm the police of the towns I Abolition of the privileges of a property qualification , of
the Imposts which weigh particularly on the people ; abolition of all ihe laws concocted by the counter-revoluHoa within tbe last fifty years-laws apainst the press , against the rights of labour , agaiast individual liberty , against associations between citizens—in two words , that France be a nation sovereign by its political orjranisation , and that by it » military organisation It bo a national army . The victories of Paris command the world—let us not allow them to fall , nnr to be lost at tbe moment at which the world is in progress . Tkls ia onr motto : — « Solidarite des citoyenset solidarite des
peuplesl ' The Democratib Pacifique says : — . The people of Paris has worthily possessed itself of the sovereignty it is calm and resolved ; it desires peace and the alliance of nations : it desires liberty and justice for all ; it desires the labour and welfare of all ; it fraternises with all the nations of Europe ; a single word issues from every mouth , — 'Peace 1 peace ! and the alliance of nations ! ' The Italians , the Spaniards , the English , the Irish , the Germans , the Poles , all the nations of Europe , America , of the whole world , are invited by their brethren of Fraace to fraternise with them , to make an alliance
between people and people , a universal federation , a sincere conciliation betweea all class's aad all interests . France gives you a guarantee of peace and fraternity . It calls to its head men of heart , men of peace , men of European reputation . The name of I / amarttae tells you what are the sentiments of peace and conciliation which animate the people of France ; the names which are associated with bis in the Provisional Government confirm the guarantee . Peace , thsn ^ alliance ef all nations in the name of order and liberty , and by peace the disarming of the excessive forces which exhaust the national resources and keep alive distrust , henceforth unworthy of the honour of nations truly free . '
Tho following important announcement has been pnt forth in the official paper , the Commerce : — Paris is revolutionised . The republican regime is proclaimed . A provisional government has taken the direction of the popular movement . Now let Paris watch over the maintenance of its conquests , with its hundred thousand muskets , lis cannon , and its barricades . Let the departments be thought of . Later we mil think of the foreigner . The departments all follow the sublime movement of Paris , But thare ara in the departments , at the head of divers offices , men clever in deceit , who will feign to adopt tbe republican regime , ana yet nurse in their hearts culpable sympathies ; yesterday courtiers of monopoly , they would make themselves tho courtiers of the people . New men are wanting for a niw state of things .
The government will therefore send immediately into each department a commtoicfier o / the provisional government to revolutionise the department , that is to say , to change men and systems , aud briug into that public contempt in which they h » d lived the men of corruption and abuses ; to re-establish everywhere , upon large foundations , the roigu of justice , aud popular virtue . WORKING HEN ' S NATIONAL GUARD . Paris , Friday Evening . —A proclamation has been issued to-day by the provisional government for tho organisation of a moveable National Guard of twentyfour battalions . Those inscribing themselves are to
I be paid thirty sous per day . Great numbers are already inscribed . The intention ofthe provisional governmentiasaidtobeto send these battalions toi the frontiers of France , on tho Rhine , and tho Alps . BUKRESDER CP THE CASTLE OP VIXCBRKKS . Satckdat , February 26 . —The castle of Vincennes ; has surrendered this morning , after a very slight re- > i sistance . The most ot the fortifications have surren- j dered , but in one or two of the fortifications tho sol- j diers of the line still hold out in their barracks . It I is thought that the whole of them will be in tho j hands ofthe provisional government in the oour & e of I to-day .
All the military depots of artillery , arms , and ammunition were surrendered to the people . The detached forts round Paris were taken possession of by the people . The printing presses of the Mohttbur have been broken to-day . The interior of Paris is very tranquil to-day . There are crowds of armed men in the streets , but they are peaceable . The red cockade of the republic is becoming general . For the first two days no cockades were shown . The busts ef Louia-Philipps are broken every , where .
FI 5 A 5 CES OP THB HEW GOVERNMEKT . The whole of tha coming year ' s taxes derived from per-ceatage en rents of apartments and shopkeepers ' licenses will fall into the hands of the new government , an enormous fund with which to begin . The million a month to the civil list is already confiscated , or , as the ordonnasce has it , restored to the people , a handsome addition to the fund applicable to the relief of distress . _ Among the most curious decrees are that which relates to the Tuilerie « , which is turned ipto an asylum for invalid workmen . All pawned articles under ten francs to be redeemed for the owners by the Minister of Finances . Bourse will not be open till Tuesday . The law . oourta have resumed their sittings—the post office is at work—the shops are opened—everything is doing to calm apprehenrien . THE FRENCH " NAVT .
M . Arago , the republican Minister of the Marine , last night sent for all the French admirals in Paris . They all attended . He then addressed them , and asked if they were any of them willing to serve the republic f They replied , ' AH . ' He then said that he required a man of courage and steadiness—that he knew them all to be so , aud that he was ready to appoint to the command ofthe fleet of the republic any one they might choose to select . They declared their willingness to abide by his own decision . M . Arago then said that he had equal confidence in all , but there was one among them who enjoyed an advantage which determined his choice—that of
popularity ; he therefore appointed Admiral Baudin to the command of the Toulon fleet . The nomination was at onoe approved of by all the admirals present . Admiral Baudin left at once for Toulon . He is immediately to take the command and sail for Algiers . His instructions are to take poisessioa of any ships he may find in the port of Algiers , and to proclaim Algeria an integral ofthe French Republic . The whole of the colonels of the twelve legions of the National Guards have been dismissed . The colonels of the * lth and 10 th wore very nearly massacred by their own men for refusing to march against the Tuileries .
DBSTRUCTIOJT OF NEUIlIrT . The chateau of Neailly was sacked last night and burnt to the ground . THB PBBT-OPFICB . Citizen Etienne Arago has been nominated by the people provisional director of the post-office , and entered on the discharge of his functions yesterday , the 24 th , & t three o'clock in the afternoon . In spite ofthe immense difficulties of bis task , and the state of the capital , the streets of which are still embarrassed by the barricades , the people having the precaution to remain always armed , some of the mails were sent off . Citizen Pont , principal editor of the Haro of Caen , assisted him in these dangerous and painful functions .
IHPOBTA 5 T IP TRUE . The government has declared their intention to annex Belgium to France ! The Rhine is to be the frontier of the kingdom ! ADHESION OF THE PEPARTHE 5 T 3 . News was hourly coming in frsm the provinces , stating their adhesion to the Republic . TQS MUSEUMS & 0 . All that appertains to tho direction of tho fine arte and museums , and was formerly under the control of the civil list , will constitute a division ofthe ministry of the interior . The jury charged with the reception of pictures at the annual exhibitiens , will be named by election . The artists will be convoked to this effect by a decree . The exhibition of 1848 will be re-opened on the 15 th March .
the bahroads . . The destruction of . railway works did not end at Amiens . At Rouen , the bridge over the Seine has been destroyed by fire . At Lille , an aqueduct and a bridge were also burnt . A t Dieppe there has been an embargo laid on all foreign vessels , .
THE DEBTORS . On Friday the debtors' prison was thrown open , and all the prisoners were realised . On that day the city continued tranquil : the National Guard waa everywhere under arms ; it had charge of all the public establishments of every description , including the barracks in which the army was confined . The provisional government were delivering conges in great numbers toj the soldiers . Notices were posted through the p ity , authorising bakers and other vendors of provisions to deliver in their orders , signed
by the commanders of the National Guard in the several arrondissemeats . Theee orders to be punctually paid by the treasury . The provisions thus obtained were distributed among the armed population who were aiding the national guard in the chargeof the eapital . The inhabitants generally were visited in the evening and in the morning by tbe leaders of the people , demanding arms , for . which a written acknowledgement was given , and on each house where they had been thus surrendered the words * Armes donn 6 es' were chalked .
STATE OF PARIS ON SATURDAY . —CONSOLIDATION OP THB GOVERNMENT . —PEACE OR WAR ?—ENGLAND AND AUSTRIA . —THE NORTHERN POWERS . The great event of this day _ is the restoration of order . The acts of the provisional government and the new officials show consummate skill aod prudence . The Minister of Finance , M . Goudchaux , has'judiciously confirmed all the clerks in their employments , and this chief branch of internal administration 1 s working . I must tell you that it was only on Monday the notice to pay the city taxes
The French Revolution. Establishmentof A...
was issued . The whole of the coming year ' s taxes derived from percentage on rents of apartments and shopkeepers' licenses will fall into the hands of the new government—an enormous fund with , which to begin . The million a month to the civil list is already confiscated , or , as the ordinance has it , returned to the pe > ple—a handsome addition to the fund applicable to the relief of distress . The streets are being partially cleared of the obstructions caused by the barricades , under the scientific direction ot the students of the Ecsle Pelytechnique , in such a way as not to compromise the security against a surprise afforded by these popular fortifications . This will enable the country people to bring in provisions , of which there is an abundant supply , and
allow the vast number of coach and cab men to resume their occupation . The law courts have resumed their sittings—the post-office is at work—tho shops are opened—every thing is doing to calm apprehension . The workmen are assured that a , great plan is about being adopted tor their benefit , accdrding to which every man shall have employment' and fair recompense . Ihe best spirits are being draughted into the movable National Guard , with the magic word ' Frontiers' in their ears , and thirty , sous a day in their pockets . Every good citizen , whether in costume or not , is told that he is a National Guard . This measure , at all events , supplies a good police ,, or there ia an honourable esprit du corps animating this body . A man found stealing a silver spoon was placed on his knees and shot on the
spot . I am so exposed to interruptions while I write , that I can hardly give you as connected details as I should desire . To resume : —The grand object is to restore confidence . Commissioners are , at the railways attending to the transport of provisions , The Havre Railway has been placed by thedirjeq ? tors at their disposal for that purpose . The Nqftliern Railway has been much injured , but may 'be ,, restored , 1 understand , with some ordinary efforts , The fear had seised the people that this railway might be used for the sonveyance of troops agajnst Paris . But news has been circulated that Belgium has become a republic and Leopold fled . It has also been announced that all the principal towns are tranquil and acoopt the Republic . The eastern frontier is held to be covered by Switzerland , nor aro the Pyrenees looked to with alarm .
With regard to foreign affairs , it is generally believed that England will recognise the Republic . It is against Austria , not England , that the popular feeling runs . As for invasion of England , it is not thought of now ; and , indeed , I believe there is real respect for the ' land of liberty . ' Should an invasion be ever attempted , I will say this , as an eyewitness , that if the English people were animated with such a spirit as the French , when in one night they made their capital , in presence of 100 , 000 men , impassable for troops , no army of invaders would succeed against them .
What they seem to fear is a sudden determination of the Northern Powers to take advantage of their unprepared state , snd , bf means of tbe railways with which Germany is intersected , throw an army into France . Oa the other hand , great hopes are entertained of Italy causing a diversion . _ The Cohbtitutionnel points evidently to war , saying , that if other countries demand their assistance , they shall have it ; and that this is the feeling of the provisional government I doubt not . They have , with much tact , given the foreign affairs to De Lamartine , who is a lover of peace , and whose eminently respectable name is calculated to look well in the eyes of foreirn Powers . You have already observed that Lamoriciere at once joined the revolution , choosing the frontier as his post , and the frontier is the Rhine . He has , perhaps , been pushed
on by his brother-in-law . Thiers , who so far must bo a disappointed man ; and Thiers' ambition would be to act Talleyrand to the rising Napoleon . The people count with a sort of certainty upon the Northern Powers being embarrassed by their own subjects . The Poles in Paris have already offered to form a Polish legion . It is to Admiral Baudin that the command of the Toulon fleet if given ; he is one of the old admirals of the empire , and his name is popular . It is General Subervie who is Provisional Minister at War , and not Bedeau , who takes the command of the first military division , in which Paris is included . Abd-el-Kader-is to be watched more closely than ever , for evident reasons , for AU giers is embarrassing . Commissioners have been sent to the five great naval posts , Brest , Cherbourg , L'Orient , Rochefort , and Toulon .
The ex-Ministers are not spoken of . They were assembled , it is said , at the hotel of the Minister of the Interior when the news of the Kipg ' s abdication was brought in . They then all fled by back doors . There was an attempt on thepartof criminals confined in the different gaols to escape , but they are well watched over , and the public traequillised on that score . Debtors and political prisoners , as well as women , have been released . The churches have been respected , but it is certain that attempts had been made to burn the Tuileries and the Louvre , which were found to be on fire in three places the night before last . Food is being distributed at all the hospitals , and notices are issued for relations and friends to come and claim the victims , whose bodies are otherwise to be interred in the old
cemetery of St Catherine . It is announced this morning that the King ' s beloved retirement at Neuilly has been burnt . The bridge at Asnieres , over which pass the Versailles , St Germain , and Rouen trains , has , I am assured , been cut . The fortress of Mont Valerian , tbat great stronghold , which stood at an equal distance between St Cloud and Neailly , and commanded the Bois de Boulogne , surrendered after a resistance of five hours . All tho forts detaches and fortresses round Paris are in the hands of the Republic . And where was Bugeaud—the merciless oven-heater of the Dahrs—the man whose name alone was to have made the hearts of the people quake ' , ? It is a curious fact that the last Royal ordinance in the Moniteur was that which , named him Governor of Paris ; and the next day the ordinance ran in 'the name of the French people . '
To-day the National Guards are all passing in review in different quarters . The weather is tremendous , blowing a hurricane with heavy showers . Four o'Clock . —I have just heard a report from the Hotel de Ville that the provisional government are enchanted at the success of their measures for restoriugconfidence and order . They say , one more sueh day , and the Republic is confirmed . There is perfect unanimity amongst them . A great many that I meet wear tricoloured ribands on their buttons , to mark their adoption of these colours instead of the red , to which , however , some yet adhere . I met a
procession just now , which , I understand , is that of some schools , preceded by banners , some tricoloured and some red . There are copious placards all over the city , all addressing the best feelings of the people in favour of freedom , equality , fraternisation , & 3 . ( From another Correspondent . ) Saturday evening . —The streets have been crowded with all ranks . A grand review of the National Guard was to have taken place , but it is postponed . The expectation of the review has added greatly te the crowds in the street , who are nevertheless very peaceable .
A friend of mine , who has just come from the Hotel de Ville , where the provisional government is sitting , says tbat ail parties there are perfectly satisfied with the march of events . There was great apprehension for this day ; but hitherto all the accounts received from all the districts of Paris , and from the provinces , describe the feeling to be favourable to the new order of things . Adhesions have come in from a large number of towns to-day , where the Republic has been proclaimed . The provisional government is said to be unanimous in its decisions , and to have every expectation that if the accounts continue as favourable as they are to-day , that order will be restored throughout the country . The fortof Mount Valerian , the last of the fortifications which held out against the provisional government , has surrendered after a considerable degree of resistance .
There are thousands of caricatures against Louis Philippe in all the print shops of Paris . They hare appeared as if by magic .
THE TUILERIES . The palace of the Tuileries has been formed into a hospital for workmen , under the name of ' Hotel des IavalidesCiviles . ' Great numbers of the shops of Paris are open today . The barricades have been partially removed in the principal . thoroughfares , and a few carriages and carts are to be seen .
THE RIVAL COLOURS . The most thriving trade in Paris to-day , ( writes a correspondent ) , is decidedly the sale of tricoloured cockades . In fact , all this morning , along the boulevards , ambulating marchands plied a brisk trade for a couple of hours , offering their merchandise to all comers without fee or retribution , leaving the reward to the generosity of the citizen who is so supplied . I need scarcely say that such a mode of carrying on the trade was not a losing one , aa it miehfc not have been a safe thing to offer for the distinctive mark of the Republic anything less than at least a piece of silver coin . The . ultra-Republican party were most anxious for the red colour alone , and that distinctive mark was on Friday to be seen in almost every man's breast , either in the shape of a shred of
ribbon , two pieces crossed , or a cockade . The women too , wore nothing but red ribbons in their caps and bonnets ; and if the humour had continued there is no doubt that rod in all its shades would have been the fashionable colour of the coming season . But the choice of the national colours all at once became an object of contention . M , de Lamartine yesterday declared strongly in favour of the tricolour , under which , he said , the French arms had been so often led to victory ; and , in consequence of his declaration te that effe « t , the tide turned this morning , to tbe great delight of persons who had been selling the red ribbons , and who now commenced a new and very active trade in the three colours . At the Passage de 1 ' Opera , a complete row took place between the favourers of the red colour alone and those WflOSaw flO reason for giving up the triple sign . « Why change , ' said the latter party , * that which has been so glorious
The French Revolution. Establishmentof A...
for us ? Why " adopt the old type of the first revolution , which is only a sign of blood V ' No , ' cried tho adverse party , ' we must have the republique tout pure I We must have nothing to remind ua of tyrants . ' I hear that the provisional government has announced that the tricolour is the national flag of the French Republic .
j ADMIRABLE CONDUCT OF THB PEOPLE , ( From the correspondent of the Tblkorath . ) I am most happy to be able to convey id you the gratifying intelligence that the people , though now ; in all the flush and intoxication of a glorious victory i nre acting in a most admirable manner , and display-; ing a most admirable spirit . Nothing , I assure you , can surpass the moderation and propriety of their behaviour . Though thestreets are filled with an immense multitude , two-thirds ^ ac least of whom are armed , with muskets ,-swords , daggers , hatchets , or sweapons of some kind , there is no fighting , ao disturbance . ' ! ' Thoughthecellars of the Palace were . brofeenioto , and wine and liquors poured forth like do not think have
water ^ I I seen twenty drunkeu men , and yet 1 have been everywhere—in all parts of . the city , ' - 1 Thecivility of the people is extraordinarily great ; and the men who are appointed to protect the barricades are politeness itself . Last night , for instance , in goin ? over the quarters ef the Rue du Temple and the Rue St Martin , I had to scale at least fifty or sixty barricades . At every one of them I met with as' much politeness and attention . as in a drawing-room . As many ^ of the sentinels —for the most part working men in blue smock frocks—helped me over ; and at others , when two persons happened to arrive together at the only praotioable spot for passing , one invariably made way for the other to go first *
, ii , ' ;? aATERNItT WITH ALL HATIOKS . As'to the spirit of the people , I repeat that it is everything that could be desired . Last night I mixed with what' aristocrats' call 'the mob / which was assembled on the Place de l ' Hotel de Ville . Though it was only a few hours before that the people had driven away their king , whom they considered a tyrant ; overthrown his government , and swarmed through his palace ; and though they were then agitated by the report ( happily unfounded ) that the artillery was coming from Vincennes to attack them ; I found about a dozen working men ; with whom I entered into conversation one after" another all animated by what they call the' spirit of justice and fraternity . ' * We demand , ' said they ; nothin
g that is unreasonable ; we demand work , and we demand to be fairly paid for it ; wo demand to enjoy reasonable liberty , and to be relieved from the burden of supporting a multitude of useless placeholderswe demand to be governed by honest men , not by thieve ? { voleurs , by the way , hss for some time past been tho epithet applied by the populace to the members ofthe government and public placeholders , on account ofthe numeioua cases of corruption recently brought to light ;) finally , we demand to live as brethren , for brethren we are , and we demand to be at peace and in fraternity with all nations . " Then , ' said I to one of the men—a very intelligent fellow ,
' you think the peopleare not disposed to go' to war V * War , ' said he , ' God forbid!— ' la fraterniie , lafraternite , is our motto . " Another little example . Having , last night , made some observation to a ' sentinel , who helped me to get over one of the barricades ; he ssid , ' Oh , sir . you are a foreigner—an Englishman ? ' 'I am , ' said I . 'Give me your hand , ' he ejaculated , ' let the English and French be friends . ' Again oh the evening before , some men who were building a barricade , and with whom I got into conversation , remarked that I was an Englishman , and on my answering in the affirmative , cried , ' Vivent Ies Anglais . Nous aimons les Anglais , '
But what you will perhaps think of more importance , as showing the disposition of the people to be on friendly terms with their neighbours—the great point in the present movement that possesses the most immediate interest to ourselves—is that several of this morning ' s journals cordially recommend the maintenance of peace , as one of the p rinciples on which the new government ought to act . Boulogne , Sunday , half . past one , p . m . —Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte , his secretary , and Count Alfred d'Orsay , left here thismorning for Paris . RIOTS AT BOURN .
Rouen , Friday 10 p . m . —The three o clock train from Paris arrived at ten ©' clock this night . The populace attacked the terminus on the left bank-Faubourg St Sever , and had broken all the windows . One of the arches of the Eauplet bridge , which { traverses the line close to Rouen , had been set on fire , and was beginning to burn . The train , therefore , passed through the tunnel St Catherine , for the terminus of the right bank , in the Rue Verti . Just as it arrived , the mob bore down upon this terminus , too , and set to work breaking down the walls ,
fragments of which were falling upon the rails . At this the train ( a very long one , and filled principally with English families flying from Paris , ) backed towards the burning bridge just alluded to , and passed over the arch , which was now all in flames . Never was more imminent danger impending , and as providentially escaped . All the passengers then got out of the train at the St Sever station . All night the fire burnt fiercely , fanned by the high wind that was blowing ; but one arch , however , and all the parapet , was destroyed . DISTURBANCES AT AMIENS .
On Saturday U 0 troops of the line arrived at Amiens en route for Paris . The populace were in & state of fury at this news , and declared that these troops should not proceed to the capital aad swell the tide ef blood there . The mayor of tho town , declared that it would be against ail law to detain them , and , therefore , ordered the railway officials to convey them to their destination . When this order became known the people were furious—tore up tho rails , overturned the carriages , ; and put the engine
fire out , eo that at present eommumcatieu with Paris , per railroad , is stopped . At 3 o clock , the town being in a state of darige T rous excitement , the chief inhabitants bf Amiens formed themselves into a provisional */ commission , and took upon themselves the temporary government of the town . This provisionary government has declared itself to be in force until the perfect pacification ofthe town shall have been secured , in their proclamation , the commission guarantee the retention of all troops who may arrive in the town .
BOULOGNE . —rilOCL & MATION OP THB REPUBLIC . The Republic was proclaimed here this afternoon at five o ' clock—at least the proclamations of the provisional government which accompany this , were published on authority . The town is perfectly quiet , and the principal topic of discussion is , who are they to elect as their deputy to the new chambers . REPORTED ARRIVAL OF LOUIS-PHaiPPE IN BRUSSELS . Brussels , Saturday , February 26 th . —It would be almost impossible to describe the excitement produced in this capital by the intelligence that the government of July was at an end , that Louis Philippe had ¦ abdicated , and that a republic had been proclaimed . This excitement was the greater on account of Brussels having been-strange to
sayduring forty-eight / hours without news from Pans . The offices of the leading journals ( particularly of the Emancipateor ) were crowded night and day . All day yesterday a great crowd assembled near the two railway stations and the post-office in order to gain information respecting the all-exciting topic of the day . At last , about 10 p . m ., an engine with one carriage arrived at the station Du Midi . It was then announced that a republic had been proclaimed . This announcement was received with loud cheers by a number of persons belonging to the working classes , who immediately proceeded dowa' several Btreets crying ' Vive la Republique , ' and singing the Marseillaise . ' It is positively asserted that delegates from the provisional government have arrived in Brussels .
About three o ' clock this morning , a gentleman residing in the Montague dela Cour , entered the Cafe del Univers , at which a number ofthe leading democrats were assembled ( and where they had been openly discussing politics all night , ) and handed to one of the company a copy of a journal in which ample accounts ofthe' events , or reported events , of Paris were given , and in which it was asserted in the most positive manner tbat' Louis Philippe and his ex-Queen had arrived at Laeken . This report was so current all day that all the papers repeated it . There is reason , however , to believe that the report is unfounded . At all events , the fugitives are not in Laeken : The Belgian cabinet have taken military preoautions on a large scale , not only for the preservation of order , but also for the preservation of the Belgian territory . ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE DE HEM 0 UBS IN LONDON .
The Duke de Nemours arrived at the French Embassy , in Manchester-square , on Sunday evening , at twenty-five minutes to eight o ' clock , from the terminus of the South-Eastern Railway , at Londonbridge , accompanied by CoantdeJamao ( the French minister . ) The dnke was accompanied from Paris by one of his children , the Duke Auguste of Saxe Coburgand his Duchess { nee Princess Clementine ) wfth their three children , and a physician . The duke , onhis arrival at Hertford House , seemed greatly dejected , as he was suffering from excessive fatigue ; and from their escape from the French capital having been the act of a moment , no luggage was brought , so that , in fact , none of them possess a change of garments .
The Countess de Jarnac , the Count Louis de Noallles , and M . de Rabaudy were assembled in the vestibule to receive the Duke de Nemours and the unfortunate individuals accompanying that prince The duke was waited on immediately after his arrival at the embassy by their Royal Highnesses the Dukeand Duchess of Saxe-Coburg , and his Royal Highness Prince Albert , attended by Baron Fritsch and Lieutenant-Colonel Wilde . Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Cobourg and Prince Albert were instantly conducted to the saloon of tha embassy . The meeting was deeply affecting , tho Duchess of Saxe-Cobourg being painfully overcome by her feelings . The Count and Countess de Jarnao were alone present at the distressing interview , the royal equerries being in call in an ante-room . It was . said at the embassy that the Duchess de Nemours ( cousin of the Prince Consort ) was missed

Monday . —The greatest excitement prevails among the French resident in London . At the various French hotels and coffee-houses in Leieester-squaro and the . neighbourhood , the all-absorbing topic of conversation has been the recentevents in Paris . On . Friday and Saturday especially , aa the news arrived by piecemeal of the abdication of Louis Philippe , several reunions were held , and the most enthusiastic feelings displayed for the revolutionary cause . On Saturday many frenchmen carried their enthusiasm so far , as to attach tri-coloured ribbons to their button-holes , and were toobe seen in the streets wearing this favour . Several ofthe political exiles have already gone back to France , amongst the
number Dr Berrier Fontaine , who , for many years past , has been practising as a physician in Foley-place , andM . Gurnard , now appointed Chef d'Etat Majeur of the National Guard . ' * Both these gentlemen were , with Marrast , Cavaignao . and others , members ofthe committee of tho Socie ' . fc de Droit de l ' flomme , and , it will be remembered , were convicted and imprisoned in 1832 , for conspiring to dethrone . Louis Philippe , and to restore the republican , form of go . vernment . The extraordinary escape of the thirtythree conspirators from the prison of St Pelagie , ia well known . A manifesto , of which the following is a translation , was agreed to on Saturday , and numerously signed . : It now lies for signature at the French Reading-room , No . 6 ? , Strand : —
Frenchmen , —At news of the immense events at Paris , your brothers , residing in London , hove associated themselves spontaneously with the accomplished revolution . Many phrases would be accessary to express all their sentiments , but they can only testify their admiration of tke courageous conduct you have displayed at Paris , and their regrat at having been unable to participate in it in a manner worthy ofthe cause . ( Here follow the signatures . ) <
TUB EX-ROYAL FAMILY OF FRANCE . We take the following from Tuesday ' s Tmas : —; * Another day has passed without any authentic intelligence having been received at the French Embassy as to the retreat of Louis Philippe , and the most intense anxiety naturally prevails as to the safety of the deposed king and the members of his family ; The accounts which have reached London from Paris do not give with any degree of accuracy the movements of the Royal family after the final outbreak on Thursday , which destroyed the existing
government . The following detail , commencing with the early part of that day , has been derived from an eye-witness of and participator in the extraordinary events it attempts to describe ; and while tbe utmost reliance may be placed on the authenticity pi the various facts related , the detail itself will be found to explain in & great measure the circumstance of the separation of the various members ofthe Royal family . On Thursday the king and queen , with the Duke and Duchess de Nemours , the Duke and Duchess de Montpensier , and the Duke and Duchess of Auguste of Saxe-Coburg , remained in the palace of Tuileries .
The king was surrounded by a large number of his personal friends , among whom were the Duke de Broglie and several other members of the Chamber of Peers . M . Thiers and many other leading deputies were also present , all anxious to advise with the king as to the best course of proceeding under existing circumstances . The Duke de Nemours at this time had the command of the troops in the courtyard of the palace . The insurgents were fast gathering and advancing in large bodies in the direction of the Tuileries . The National Guard gave way before them , and , on nearing the palace , entreated that
the artillery might net be used on the people . The Duke de Nemours yielded to their solicitation , and not a shot was fired . As the mob rapidly increased , however , theking was advised to leave the palace , a step which his Majesty at length reluctantly consented to adopt . With the king departed her Majesty the Queen , the Duohees de Nemours , and three of her children ; the Duke and Duchess Auguste of Saxe-Coburg , with their youthful family , and the Duchess de Montpensier . The Duke de Montpensier left at the s . ome time in command of a small escort , which accompanied the Royal fugitives on their road toDreux .
After the departure of the Royal family , the mob pressed onwards ia the direction of the Tuileries and a sharp firing commenced . On arriving opposite the palace , they commenced breaking the windows , and in a very short period , every pane of glass in the principal front was demolished , The National Guard had now entirely given way , and the mob having increased tenfold , the Duke de Nemours , finding resistance , hopeless , retired through the gardens of the palace with a small band of soldiers , who still . remained faithful to him . The duke then , learning that the Dachess d'Orleans , with her two infant children , had gone to the Chamber of Deputies , followed her thither , and on arriving there , left his little troop of soldiers on guard at the entrance while he himself
proceeded into the Chamber , where the discussion on the question of accepting the Count de Paris as King was at tbat time proceeding in a very satisfactory manner . Daring the discussion the insurgents arrived and having easily overpowered the troops on guard , they occupied all the outlets and entered the Chamber itself in great numbers , bearing arms , flsgs , and banners , and uttering the most discordant and frightful imprecations . The Duke de Nemours had at this moment hold of the Count de Paris ' a hand , the Duchess d'Orleans leading her second son , the Duke do Caartres . So frightful was the rush of the mob that both the young princes were separated from their protectors , and it was with extreme difficulty that the Duke de Cbartres was recovered , he having been
lost in the melee for some time . There now appeared no alternative for the Duchess d'Orleans and her brether-in-law but to proceed to the Invalides , which they accordingly did , attended by a small band of soldiers , who behaved with the greatest devotedness to the last . To the Invalides the Royal fugitives were pursued by the infuriated mob , and a violent attack being made upon the Hotel , it was deemed prudent for the duke and the duchess to separate and take the best means at hand for their , respective safety . The Duke do Nemours left Paris directl y , and on the road to Boulogne fell in with his Royal relatives the Duke and Duchess Augustus of Saxe Coburg ' with whom his Royal Highness crossed the Channei on Sunday ,
With regard to the progress of the other members ef the Royal family the followingis all that is known : —It appears after leaving Paris it was found the revolutionary feeling prevailing in all the principal towns was such as to render it exceedingly impolitic for the Royal family to travel together , and it was accordingly arranged that they should separate at such intervals as might insure the probability of a safe transit to England , which appeared to be the only safe refuge for the Royal exiles . The Duke and Duchess Augustus of Saxe Coburg were the first to separate from the family ; the Duohesa de Montpensier the next . The arrival of the former we have already announced ; the latter reached the French Embassy yesterday afternoon . The last account of the King and Queen , with the other members ofthe Royal family , are from Dreux , on the road to Havre , at which place there seems to be every probability the family separated in order to avoid recognition .
Having stated all that is known of the absent member ^ of the Ro yal Family , we return to the French Embassy in London , where on Sunday evening the Duke de Nemours and his Royal sister and brother-in-law , the Duke and Duchess Augustus of Saxe Coburg , were stated to be safely arrived in our yesterday ' s impression . At . half-past ten . o ' clock yesterday aorning her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent arrived at the Embassy , and had a long interview with tho Duke de Nemours and his Royal relatives . Whilst the Duchess was at the Embassy the reigning Duchess ot Saxe Coburg arrived from Bucking , ham Palace to pay a visit to their Royal Highnesses .
It is understood that the object of the visit both of the Duchess of Kent and the Duchess of Saxe Cobure was to express her Majesty the Queen ' s desire thai their Itoyd Highnesses the Duke and Duchess Augysius of Saxe Coburg should mako Buckingham Falaee their home during their stay in this country . At half-past eleven o ' clock their Royal Highnesses tho Duke de Nemours and the Duke and Duchess Augustus of Saxe Coburg left the Embassy in Count Jarnac ' s carriage , and proceeded to Buckingham Palace to pay a visit to the Queen . Their Royal Highnesses remained at the Palace until after one o ' clock .
The youngest daughter of the Duke do Nemours nnd the three children of the Duke and . Duohess Augustus of Saxe Coburg were subsequently conveyed

Auguste Portali ? ,- Attorney General of the Court of Appeal at Paris -, M . Come , ditto at Douai ; M . St Ramme , ditto at Grenoble ; and M . Pieron , ditto , at Douai . M . Goudchaux , the new Minister of Finance , had confirmed in their offices all the functionaries of that department .
M . Carnot . Minister of Public Instruction , addressed the following circular to the rectors of the University : — The pupils of the establishments of the University must feal a wish to join in the signal manifeatatiens of joy nnd hope with which all France greets at this moment the proclamation of the republic . By the very nature of their studies they are all fully prepared to appreciate the grandeur of the revolution made by the country in hoisting again the republican banner . You wUl grant two
days holiday to the pupils of all the colleges and the normal and primary schools on receipt of this letter . The people proceeded , on Friday , to St Cyr , to bring in the pupils of the Military School , and apprise them ofthe downfall of Royalty , and the proclamation ofthe republic , which had been concealed from them . The young men of the school , to the number ef 600 , repaired forthwith to the Hotel de Ville , and sent in , by a deputation , their adhesion to the provisional government of the republic , with an offer of their services .
The Prefect of the Lower Seine had announced that the government of the republic waa proclaimed in his department and received with the liveliest enthusiasm . The following telegraphic despatches of the 25 th inat . had been received ;—Tbe Republic has been proclaimed at Dijon . Bordeaux enjoys tbe greatest tranquillity . At Tours , Rouen , and other cities , departmental and district commissions are appointed for the establishment of the Republican government . Nowhere has order been disturbed .
The provisional government continued to receive numerous adhesions from all quarters . General officers of the land and sea forces , and members of the Council of State , ofthe Court of Cassation , and other judiciary bodies , had likewise offered their cooperation to the new governmeat . " Prompt and energetic measures had been adopted forthe preservation of the munitions of war deposited in the Military School and at Vincennes . The detached forts had been occupied by the rural National Guards , and nobody was allowed to enter them . t M . Etienne Arago , Director of the Post-office , had informed the government that the Princesses of the Royal Family had been met by the Brest mail neas Dreux .
The excitement continues , but has taken a mere favourable turn . The measures of the provisional government are producing vast extent . This morning the red riband was universal . The tri-colour of tho first revolution has replaced it . The Communists were said to intend attacking the government . They are now stated to have' adhered' to it , but maintaining a watching attitude . . The chalking on the walls ' Plus de Bourbons' has given place to 'Plus de Royaute . ' The Ukion Monarchiquh newspaper has dropped the second word of its title . All' "R oyal arms , ' or other emblems ef Royalty , have been taken down or defaced . Still there are p ' eople who take it into their heads that the Count de Paris or the Duke de Bordeaux have a chance ! Prince Louis Napoleon ' s name begins to be mentioned , and I have heard one cry of * Vive I'Bpipereur !'
20 , 000 of tbe very finest young men of Paris were enrolled this day as National Guards mobiles . Their appearance was truly inspiring . They have passed through the city singing the Marseillaise . Regiments of the line are arriving in Paris to replace those which had been disbanded . I lament to add that , besides the Chateaux of Neuilly and St Cloud , the bridge over the Seine at Amiens has been burnt . The MoHwauR , of Saturday , which , has assumed new official functions , publishes the following decrees and announcements by tbeprovisional govern - ment : B
CltiBeusof Paris , —The emotion which agitates the capital would compromise , not the victory , but the prosperity of the people ; It would retard the advantages to ba derived from tha conquests which it has effected in two Immortal Says . This emotion wUl calm down in a little time for It has no longer any real cause in existing facts , The government , which was overturned on the 2 ' 2 nd , has fled . The army raturns hour by hour to its duty towards tho people , and to its glory—which consists in devotedness * o the nation alone . The circulation , suspended by fne barricades , is being prudently but rapidl y established ; provisions are secured , aud the bakers are provided with flour for thirty-five days . The generals bring in to ns the most complete and most Spontaneous adhesions . One thing alone still retards
the sentiment of public security , and that is , the agitation of the people , which is want of work , and the illfounded distrust which causes the shops to be kept closed , and puts a stop to business . To-morrow , the uneasy agitation of a suffering part of tbe population will disappear , under tho impression « f the works which are about to bo resumed , and of tbe enrolments of men receiving pay , which the provisional government has decreed to-day . It is not weeks which we demand frem the capital and tho people to show a power fully re-orca nised , and to exhibit a return of that calm which full work and occupation produce-two days more , and public peace will be completely restored' two daw more , aud liberty willbe immovabl y established ! two days more , and the people will have its government 1
