    Reread in the Retobmb : — siaister reports have been spread inspiring alarm in v ^ ei nnip hant city . It has been said that machinery and u & apparatus , and particularly mechanical presses , f j b ; en threatened with destruction . Not having bten Wr to conquer or gag the people , they are now calum-; , ip ' . K citfze 11 ' , victims ofthe organised concur-^ cce n ; aia 5 t tnem D ^ means ° f great forces , were to % . themselves to be seduced into making a holocaust . -VngcSintir , they Would deceive themselves as to their C c -j ecjuiy . " This enemy is tot the economical and great Z 7-ixs power of production ; this enemy is the feudal

    • - , -a = tris > l eorernment , which , in order to found its emr on » he servitude of hunger , degraded handicraft , rj rcfassd to the workman , credit and association , yfith the institutions about to arise fr « m the government raided by the sovereignty ef tbe people , asd to be Pitched over , by it these vices will no longir exist . MacUserr is a power emineaily revolutionary and democratic . " Instead of crushiog , as under the reiga of feudal iraUEtrv it will enfranchise the people . Machinery sskes a ' multiplication of loaves of bread . Nay , since she people have conquered its sovereignty , since tbe racial and political laws will be its own work , the people woaid commit an set sgainst its own interests , by fcreak-; -T machines , its instruments and servants .

    Avroj-os to the reports above spoken of , the edi " tors " ol the Ateiisb have addressed the following It . ter to their comrades : — Paris , Feb . 25 th , 6 P . lt . Brothers ' . —We learn tbat amidst the joys of triumph , scae of oar companions , aisled by perfidious counsel ? , bsve wished to tarnish the glory of our revolution b \ Ki-ssses which we disapprove of with all our entrcy ; t ' ctv cave threatened to break tbe mechanical presses : Brothers I These men are in the wrong . We suffer as

    ttrv do the perturbations cansed by _ the introduction of lEEDh ' . ntrj into manufactures ; but , instead of quarrelire ; with inventions' which abridge labour , but multiply produce , we charge aone tut egotistical and improvident peTerr . nnn . ts with being the cause of allourgriif . In fai-jre this can never te . Therefore spare the macbiaes . Besides , to attack machinery is to stop the rn-ich and stifle the voice ofthe revolution . It is , under tie grave circumstances by which we are surrounded , cc'irg the work of bad citizens . We read in " the Jjatiokal . —

    Alarming rumours as regards property are spread . Ice authors of these false imputations can only be eae . o : ss ot the government which the people has just ao spired by its glorious victory . It is also sale" that grave ^ ijanderitaudings separate the members of the provisional government . We can affirm that tbe most perfect union has not ceased to txist between the devoted citizens who have accepted the mission ef organising putlic powers , and of presiding over tbe establishment or the Republican Constitution , now demanded by almost a ' . i the departments .

    BSJOICISGS OF TEE PiEISIASS . ¦ ° Te read in the Commeece : — Yesterday morning every heart was filled with confidence ; the streets were filled with promenaders meeting , grouping , and embracing each other , happy at finding themselves at the end of events the glory ef which has c « . n » the lives of so many of our brothers in gaining thr treat triumph of the rights of humanity . The night pi £ ? cd aarairably . We traversed Paris from the Paubyztg Poissonniera to the Hotel de Ville , at two and four oY . Oi . -k ia the morning , and at every point found the act ; admirably performed b y the citizens and the National Gaards ; the sentinels being- vigilant , ana tbe pass vfcrds and counter-signs given and returned . The capita ras admirable . Illuminated to its roofs with lamps ez-l otter lights of a thousand colours , and

    psrambu-UTtu in every part by s pepolstwa intoxicated with joy . Tee Boulevards , in particular , presented a magic spectirff , tbe * Marseillaise' and the Hymn of the Girondins resounded on all sides ; the voices of woraea and children , joining in concord with tbe masculine tones of the teres ; of February 21 . In the Passage Vordotj the Lyric Society of the children of Paris sang popular hymns , cocposed and arranged for the event , with a precision au 3 harmony which went to the heart , and drear forth pet ' . sof applause at the end of every strophe . Whoever has cot seen Paris last sight—Paris full of order , union , and majesty , amidst the sublime disorder of the barricades— can never form an idea of the great beauties of the sovereignty of tha people . ' The National says : — The state of commercial affairs is an infallible tber

    : so-eter ot the confidence and security of public opie : cu . The Bank of France yesterday accepted the bills wikh were remitted to it by merchants , and keeps at ihtir dissassl the value in cash .

    tooo srensED poa tee people . The Moxnwni has the following—Tha students of the Polytechnic School aad the citizens De Bassane and Solms are charged to watch , over the full and entire execution of the decrees issued b ) the provisional government ofthe Eepublio for provisions of all kinds . They shall more particularly see tbat the bikers be well supplied with bread . Every power is given thin for this purpose , and to this effect they wiUgoto its halUi and entrepots , and assure themselves of the complete state of the supplies jthey are authorised te call for the ' assistance of the armed force to secure the deliveries . They will also , and the citizens who guard the barricades should aid them in this impsrtant mission , ruks every a rangiment that the circulation shall be & €£ to all arrivals . Now that Tincennes and the forts Ere taken , there is so longer such a great necessity to s zzri against any fresh invasion .

    MM . Dafaure and Billault have sent in their adhsic-B to the provisional government . The administration ofthe hospices of Paris organised with great rapidity'the measures necessary to ensure constant distributions of bread to all such citizens as voluntarily took up arms . She orens of those establishments are constantly at work . M . de Rothschild has intimatedto the previsions ! government that he is prepared to observe all his engagements towards the state for the new loan . lit Las also sent 50 , 0001 . to the Mayor of Paris for the waunded .

    THE PSOVIXCES . The journals of Lille state , that when intelligence of the events of Paris arrived crowds assembled . The Prefect had announced a ball for the night of tbe 21 th , bat , on learning that blood flowed , the Municipal Administration refused to go . The ball , nevertheless , took place , but the crowd under the windows shouted , ' On n & dense pas sur les marts V As the 5 Tth regiment , which had been ordered to Paris , was proceeding to the railway station , a large crowd which accompanied it , cried , * Do not fire on our brethren ' . ' At Amiens , a crowd eager for news surrounded the railway station , and manifested the liveliest sympathies for the popular cause . A j Troves a merchant having illuminated his house on ike 24 th , and put up the inscription , ' To the brave defenders of our liberties ! ' a crowd assembled and warmly applauded .

    : The CoifMERCB of Friday announces that all the ^ Departments are ' following the sublime movement ¦ at Paris . ' Rouen , especially , has joined the revolution heart and soul , and three thousand inhabitants ? 0 f that city and Havre , with a copious supply of arms aid provisions , arrived in the capital on Friday " morning by the Rouen railroad , and took aa active - |> 2 rt in the melee . : In addition to the proclamation of the popular Jill , the following is now appended .

    The French Revolution. Establishmentof A...

    Brethren I Let us be calm aad dignified , in the name ' of liberty , equality , and human fraternity ! A eurious accident happened on Friday . " The tollhouse ef tbe ' Pont Louis Philippe * haying been set on fire , about one o ' clock , the flames caught the joints where the chains of the brid ge are connected with the wood-work ; they gave way , and the platform was precipitated into the Seine . The shock was tremendous , and several passengers who were crossing tha bridge at the fatal moment were submerged and perished . The dreadful catastrophe which took place near the Hotel of Foreign Affairs resulted in the death of fifty-two individuals .

    Paris , Sunday , February 27 , eleven o ' clock . —The weather has been tremendous A tempest has raged all night , and torrents of rain have fallen . The first display of the revolution this day will nevertheless attract 100 , 000 National Guards and half a million of spectators . The provisional government is to repair to ' the Column of July , ' on the Place de la Bastille , in great form , DEFIKITE ESTABLISHMENT ASD OFFICIAL

    AXNOUXCE-1 IENT OF IHE REPOBLIO . The Republic was officially announced yesterday by M , de Lamartine , surrounded by the other members o the provisional government and the four secretaries . M . de Lamartine descended the steps of the great ' staircase ofthe Hotel de Ville , and , presenting himself in front of the edifice with a paper in his hand , thus expressed himself : — Citizens—The proyisieeal goverriment of tbe Republic has called upon the people to witness its gratitude far the magnificent national co-operation which has just accepted these new institutions . ( Prolonged acclamations from the crowd and National Guard . ) The provisional government of the Republic has oaly joyful intelligence to announce to tbe people here assembled .

    Royalty is abolished . . , ' The Republic is proclaimed . The people will exercise their political rights . National workshops are open for those who are without work . ( Immeife acclamations . ) Tbe army is beieg re-organUed .: The National Guard indissolubly unites itself with the people so as to promptly restore order with the tame bend that had only the preceding moment conquer « d eur liberty . ( Benewed acclamations . ) Finally , gentbmen , the provisional government was anxious to be itself tbe bearer , to you of the last decree it has resolved on , and signed th this memorable sittingtbat is , tbe abolition of tbe penalty of death for political matters ( Unanimous braves . )

    This is tbe noblest decree , gentlemen , that has ever issued from the mouths of a people the day after their victory . ( ' Ytsj yes ! ' ) It is the character of the French nation which escapes in one spontaneous cry from the soul of its government . ( 'Yes , yes ; Bravo , ') We have brought it with ns , and I will now read it to you . There is cot a more becoming homage to a people than the spectacle of its own magnanimity . At the conclusion of this manifestation the provisional government , accompanied by the unanimous acclamations of the innumerable population- who covered the Place of the ' 'Hotel de Ville , was again

    called upon to receive anew the consecration of the popular voice , given to them by a crowd of citizens , National Guards , students , and . scholars . . M . Dupont ( de 1 'Eure ) , president ofthe provisional governmenti leaning on the arm of M . Louis Blanc , and accompanied by his colleagues , presented himself at the balcony of the chamber , formerly called the Chamber ofthe Throne , but which M . Paguerre by . a sudden exclamation has named forever , 'theHall ofthe Republic . ' The acclamations of the people were then renewed and extended from the place to the quays and adjacent streets .-

    ABOLITION OF DEATH PTJNISHMEKTS SOE CAPITAL OFFENCES . The provisional government has formally abolished the punishment of death for political ' offences . This will ensure the safety ofthe ex-ministers , should they be arrested ; but , in fact , nobody troubles his head about them—a sign of the times really consolatory , for I remember well the animosity of which MM . Poligna :, Peyronnet , and their-colleagues , were the objects in 1830 . The government has decreed , in addition , the suspension of all capital sentences ; also the formation of national workshops ; the adoption of all public edifices in the name of the nation ; the transfer of the income of the civil list to tbe public Treasury —( it has been reported that the . private

    fortunes of the King and Rojal family will be connscated . butihisis yetonly a rumour)—the prolongation by 10 days of the time for payment ef bills due between the 22 nd of February and the loth of March ; the inspection of hospitals ; there-pavement ofthe streets ; the regular transit of letters by post : the protection of the museums . Tha provisional government is working with zeal and effect , as I have already observed . They have ' taken stock' and find that there is bread for thirty days in Paris , and they have ordered the repair and there-construction of the railroads and the facilitating ofthe arrival of provisions from the country . They

    have addressed the people to be npon their guard against the malefactors and pillagers who have already committed crimes , and there is so much reason and good ' sense , and such a truly wonderful sense of henour and probity in the population , that you will find tbat this address will have put an end to plunder and pillage , and that these caught in the perpetration of such crimes will ba summarily and —it must be said—capitally punished on tbe spot . Yesterday , for example , a man was about to enter a t the window of a house in the Rue Richelieu , and persisting in his design after being called upon to descend , was shot dead . * Wc gire the following : — .

    FBENCH BEPTJBLIC . HBEETT—ZQUALITT—FBATEBNirr . ' . The provisional government , convinced that greatness of soul is tbe highest degree of policy , and that each revolution effected by tbe French people owes to the world the consecration of an additional philosophical truth ; .... '' Considering that there , is no more sublime principle than the inviolability of humsa life ; Considering that in the memerahle days in which we live tbe provisional " government has remarked with pride that not a single cry for vengeance or for death has dropped from the mouths ofthe people ; Declares— - . Tbat in its opinion the punishment of death fer political offences is abolished , and that it will present tbat wish to the definitive ratification of the National Assembly .

    The provisional government has so firm a conviction of this truth , that it proclaims , in the name of theFrench people , tbst if the guilty men who have just cansed tbo blood of France to be split were in the hands of the people , it wonld , in their , opinion ba a more exemplary chastisement to degrade them than to put them to death .

    FBEHCH UPDBLIC . Paris , Feb . 25 tb . —Tbe government of tho French Republic pledges itself to guarantee the existence ofthe working man by his labour . It engsges also to gaa rantee work to all citizens . It recognises the fact tbat working men are entitled to unite together to enjoy tbe legitimate advantages of their labour . The provisional government restores to the working classes , to whom it belongs by rig ht , the million which falls in from the civil list . Gernier-Pages , Major of Paris , PSOCLAKATION TO THE ABMT .

    Generals , Officers , and Soldiers : The gorernnsent ef the ex-king , by its attempts against liberty , the people of Paris by its victory , have caused tha fall ofthe government to which you swore obedience . A fatal collision has drenched the capital with blood . The blood of civil war is that whieh is most repugnant to France . The people forget all in pressing the hands of its brethren < vho bear the sword of France . A provisional government has been - created ; it has arisen from the imperious necessity of preserving the capital , of re-establishing order , and of prepariag for France populsr institutions , similar to those under which the French Republic rendered France audits armies so great .

    Yon will ealute , we doubt not , the fiag of the conntry , in the hands of tbe same power which first raised it . You will feel tbat these new und strong popular institutions which are about to ba foroed by tbe national assembly , open to the a / vmy & cksss ii geygtefoeEs and

    Besides these , a decree is published in the Moniiebb reminding the people that the residences belonging to the fallen royalty are now tha property of the natioh , and that they are to be sold forthe benefit of the victims of the revolution , and to pay the damages suffered by trade and labour , and therefore placing these national edifices under the ««• - seillanct and safeguard of the ueople . Another der cree states that the . victory gained by the peop le has threwn great expense on the municipality of Paris , for the repairing of the streets , the re-construetion of municipal edifices destroyed in order to form barricades , and the support of the families of'citiasns

    who died in the cause of libert y , the present octroi duties , which are almost the only source of the revenue of Paris , shall be continued till such , time as they can be revised and modified by the representatives of the" nation . A third decree ( from the Postmaster-General ) states that the communication by post has now been opened with all the departments , and thai ; it will be contkiued regularly , not only to all parts of tbe Republic , but to foreign countries ; and two other decrees appoint citizen Thiery , with theaidofcitizensYfillcmierandDumon to superintend the hospitals of Paris , and citizen Dumoulin , to be . provisional commandant of the Louvre . to

    TheMoNiiBiJR also contains a decree relative the organisation of the National Guard mobile-There are , it states , to be twenty-four battalions , two for each of the twelve arrondissements of Paris ; each battalion will consist of eight companies , and each company will be formed of 131 , men ; so that the total lorceof the battalion , including ten officers , will be 1058 men . _ Their aje . must be between sixteen years and thirty . The non-commissioned .. oln . cera and corporals are to be elected by the men in each company ; the election will tate place when sixty men are formed in each company . The captains , lieutenants , and the sub-lieutenants are to be taken from amongst the citizens , who offer themselves , by the men , under the presidentship , of the mayor of the arrondissement , in conformity with the laws regulating the elections of the National Guard . The adjutants and quarter-masters are to be provisionally borrowed ftom the lieutenants of the line , '

    as well as the other officers demanding great activity and knowledge of military , business . The pay of each private is to be If ., 50 c . a-day . The same sum is to he given to the corporals and non-commissioned officers , seeing that it is an indemnity , and not the payment of an employment . To each man of every rank will be allowed a first indemnity of 20 f ., held in reserve for his linen and shoes , The drummers are , in addition , to receive the daily indemnity given in the regiments of the line for their dram . The pay of the officers is to be in proportion to their rank , according to laws and . ordonnances concerning the infantry of the line . Tho uniform is to be that of the other part of the National Guard , and the arms those ot the line . Officers of every rank are to receive an indemnity for outfit of 300 f . The whole of these men can be called on to march ( as" their name implies ) from Paris at any moment , and each man must engage to serve at least a year and a day ..

    THR S 0 LDIBB 3 OP THE PEOPLE ; The transformation of operative workmen into insurgents , and of insurgents into soldiers , in the course of four days , is one of the miracles that can only occur in France . On Thursday and Friday all was agitation and excitement-in Paris . Yesterday evening everything was subsiding into order . The transition ircra revolt to . submission to the lawsfrom rage , to kind feeling;—from violence to gentleness , of which the French character is susceptible , is marvellous ' . On Friday last a body of the people proceeded . , with obviously hostile views , to the barracks in the Rue Pepiniere , in which were the 62 d

    Regiment of the line . Tbey found in front of it a battalion of the 1 st Legion of National Guards , one among whom asked , '"What do you seek ? ' ' The arms of the 52 d . ' ' Why ? ' ' Because wc wish to apply them to the defence of the country . ' ' But are they notin the hands ef the -52 d , who have fraternised with tbe people , and who are ready , willing , and capable of fighting for France ?! This produced a pause .. The National Guard then proposed that a leader ofthe people should accompany him to the Colonel ofthe 52 d ; which beins agreed to , an interview took place , which ended in the Colonel ' s presenting himself at the balcony and thus addressing the people : —

    Citizens , —You ask for the arms' of the S 2 d in order that they be given to patriots , The 52 d are patriots to a man . The ' fiZd was amonf the first ofthe regiments which in 1 S 30 joined the people . The 52 d was the first which in 1818 fraternised with the people . The * 2 d is no more . Tbat which was the 52 d of the line is now the first regiment of the Republic . The enthusiasm which this'brief address produced on the people is indescribable . I need hardly add that the arms were left with the redolent , and those who came five minutes previously to fight and slaughter retired delighted , and in the best possible disposition . -

    . So far it will be seen that the labours of tbeprovisional government are aa various as admirable . They appear all directed , in the first place , to confirm and consolidate the new Republic ; in the second place , to tbe immediate relipf of all who in any manner suffer from the events that have . taken place ; and in the third , to the re-establishment of order .

    NOBLE CONDUCT OF . THE PEOPLE , - It was impossible not to admire the order that prevailed . Placards were posted that all robbers would be immediately shot . On all sides you heard those who , to-morrow , will not be able to find bread for theirchildren , exhorting others to commit ho injury . There is hot much mischief done , ' the hangings , the candelabra , the clecks . and the statues are nearly aU in their places . Few glasses are broken , and few pictures injured . The people well understood that any injury wag a destruction of national property . At the Palais-Royal much mischief was done , and the pictures have suffered considerably . At the Tuileries the people found much silver ware , which they immediately delivered to the mairie .

    The following incident in the invasion of the Tuileries has been related to tisby a person ; in . whose varacity we place the fullest confidence . Inone of the apartments was found a . considerable sum of money . One ofthe commanders of the insurgents called a small party of the men en Mouse , entrusted it to th c m , with directioHsto carryit to the treasury , telling them the nature and value of the charge ; a trust which 4 hey performed with the strictest fidelity . ' TUB POLISH TAMGGBE 9 , The Polish refugees assembled to-day , in the Riding School ; on the'Boulevard de la Madeleine , and nominated : a provisional goverriment of seven persons , underthe presidehce of . GeneralDwernicki . The French'Republic has given tip to them the barracks lately occupied by the Municipal . Guards , where they will be organised nnder the national colours .. . . r •> .-.. ' -.

    , Sou Msza has iescapedfrpro Pans , and a reward is offered for . him . ¦ ¦ ¦; ¦ Of those likely to get a diplomatic appointment is the celebrated Abbe Lamennais , who will ,, it is said , be sent to Rome . The diamonds of the crown have beep taken from the Tuileries , and deposited in tho national treasury . ' ¦¦ It is' said , that the Duchess of Orleans , with her two children , have reached Havre . ' _ The Prince of Wurtemburg ( Louis Philippe ' s sonin-law ) isfltillin Paris , and was this morning walking about the streets apparently unconcerned . He visited the Tuileries , and some of the principal scenes of the recent combats . Nothing is known of ihe late ministers . '' ¦ '¦¦¦

    On the night of the 218 t the Dukede Montpensier was to have given agrand soiree , a suraptuousbreakfast was to have been given at five in the morning , it hemg not doubted that the Parisians would promptly bo put down . ^ ..-.. * -. The Archbishop of Paris has ordered masses to be performed in all the churches for the peoole killed in the insurrection . ,-, " Having witnessedSba insurrections of June , 1832 , and April 1834 , 1 am astonished at the politeness I have everywhere met with , and must ascribe it to the triumph ofihe naturall y polite French people . This morning I have seen , several ladies of fashion handed , with the ; utmost Kroam ' fe . bver many a barricade , by men . whose dress their servants would have scorned . —Corrispondentof the Morning Post

    . The lectures ef MM . Michelot and Quinet , stopped by the late government , were to be resumed . 'Libert 6 , '« Egalitfe , ' ? Fraternile / are to be inscribed again on all public monuments ; The Royal Colleges of Paris are to resume their old names such as Lycee Napoleon , Monge . Chenier , Fourcroy , & o . The town of Eonrbon-Vendee is to be again Napoleon-Yendee . The Place-Royale is Place de la Republique , and the same denomination is to be restored to the Place Louis Quin 2 e and bridge . The Rue da Chemm de Versailles , where the famous banquet

    was to have taken place , is to be called Rue du Banquet . ,. I-OUIS-PHHIPPB DARD-UP . According to intelligence which reached London on Monday the ex-Ling Louis-Philippo had when last heard of justre . tched Dreux with only a solitary five-franc piece . m his pocket . That he had even this was owing to the presence of the Queen , who , remembering in the hurry of leaving tbe Chateau Chat tiler were without money , returned , at some risk , to a bureau m which were a few hundrddi ' rancs . These , however , scarcely served to defray the expenses or the journey .

Franca , contemplated at present with admiration and astonishment by nations , will become their Ruiding-ligbt from the moment- that

    the new Republic will havo surmounted the difficult ™ which encompass it , Amongst these difficulties aro tho f , » rci Sn relations . Three alternatives are possible :- ' Shall we be atticked ? shall wo attach ? -or lastly , shall , we remain in an espactant state 1 First of all , Bhalltro be attacked ? It iaonly necessary to casta glance Over Burope to comprehend how unlikely this la . Let us take one by one tho three northern powers , those to whom the event of ohr three days Will bo the most displeasing , and let us see what they can really do against us , Austria has in face of bit the whole ol Italy , which is arming and preparing ¦ for tho struggle , and' \> hich , if there was a war against u « , would be a powerful auxiliary to France . An Austrian army occupies Lambardy , and Lombardy at each- instant menaces

    her oppressors with an insurrection , On the flank of Austria , and stretching forth the hand to Italy , lies Switzerland , radicul , victorious over the Sonderbund , and wholly duvoted to the popular causa . There from tha summit of her mountains , as from tho top of an impregnable fortress , she . would disqaiet asd impede any military demonstration on the part of Austria , and would render tbo situation perilous , Austria has plenty to do to maintain lier statu quo , and consequently it ia improbabla that she will first give the signal of battle ; The great German po «> er , Prussia , fc ' not Cirtainly in the presence of aa Italy calling for arms to maintain her liberty , but she has not tha advantage of being free in her movements , Who is there that is notawnrehow much revolutionary and social

    ideas have advanced in Germany , and who does sot foresee what an impulse they will receive frosa tha triumph obtained by Paris ! The Prussian governmmt la- about to find itself in presence of the in : creasing exigencies of that : assembly , which it consults , and of German public opinion , of which tha voice becomes every day louder and louder . On what grounds could it decide tbe Germans to invade our provinces , and to wage war on us when we do nothing to them ? Weare satisfied with our power , glorious of the example which we are giving to the world , proud of tho sacrifices which we are making for general civilisation , and we only ask to resolve amongst ourselves the difficult problems which arise . Nover , on such conditions , will Germany be induced to come against us . Russia then

    remains lying far away in tbe north . Bat what can she do if she . is deprived of Germany ? And besides , ia she not occupied enough in keeping down Poland , which has not renounced berclnino to nationality , nnd wbich will soon gather hope from the cry that fcas burst forth on tbe banks of the Seine ! Let us , therefore , allow to vanish , like a phantom , these plans of coalition against us ; aad let not ourid ^ an , in that respect , be troubled by any remembrance of 1 SU and 1815 . Then by the most disastrous of mistakes , we bad for adversaries , besides the kiniis , our natural enemies , tbe populations who , in csanperation at tho ennquests of Napoleon , precipitated themselves on us . At present nothing is more clear than ourposition ; weare friends of the populations , and the papulations knowit—the kings will not

    suceesd in deceiving asy one on so manifest a matter . Shall we attack ? -That would be a capital-fault ; ' and , thereby , we would afford a pretext for all kinds of calumnies . The reminiscences of the past would be turned against us , our ambition would be pointed to , our spirit of conquest would be accused , the chord of national pride would be touched , end soon wa should be misrepresented in the minds of the nations which are at present so much in favour of France , and so confident in ber . The fatal dissensions which brought about the fall ofthe empire wou'dbe renewed , and the fraternity of nations would be broken . An txpectant state , therefore , is the course whloh it is important fer as to follow ; it it the policy which will save eur interests and thoss of Europe , We shall , in that etate , behold events proceeding—wo shall recognise ^ amon gst the nations thoae which have the greatest tendene . i to renew their social state , and wis shall not in any way trouble by an inopportune

    intervention , the work of ideas which is enfranchising them ; Our example , our moral support , are sufficient to modify Burope ; our arms will only serve to retard this' modification and interrupt its regular course ; But there is ri case , in which , of all necessity , it would be necessary to quit an expectant state ; and that would be , if Austria , not confining herself to remaining on the defensive , should , of herself , attack and invade' Italy . Whether she marches on . Tuscany , . Home , or Naples or « ends forces against l'ii'dmnnt , the French Republic would be under a strict obligation to oppose that act of aggression and violence , an'd ' cffc to Italy tho aid of on army and a fleet . Hot tbat we consider the Italians as weak and iacapable of defending themselves , but tho struggle wonld be doubtful , and it is important that ic ohould not be bo , Tbey wust permit- their friends in France to share their dangers , and to pay to Italy a debt of gratitude for all the blood which the Italians have' shed in

    tha French ranks . Paris , Monday . —The unexpected , calm and tranquillity which we have enjoyed here since Saturday morning csptinues without interruption , aad oiir confidence of Bs continuation . ^ becoming clearly more confirmed . The efforts ofihe provisional govewiment to bring the people back to their usual habit have been wonderfully successful . Yesterday Paris had very much its usual appearance . The streets were crowded , to be sure , and there was a rather larger sprinkling of National Guards' uniforms to be seen than on that day week , ; hut in other respects there was little to be remarked . The change in the appearance of the capital since Friday morning is almost as miraculous as the revolution which was accomplished on the previous day ; and if it . were not for the cut-down

    trees and the remains of the barricades , no one who did not know the fact would imagine that . withih the last three days an established government had been upset ; 'that blood bad been spilled in . all the streets , ; that anarchy had had the upper hand ; and , in short , that the country had be . en revolutionised . The anxiety and fears to be read in every face , and not less in ' that of the victors than ofthe vanquished , have completely disappeared . - The moderation ; of the people , the efforts of all classes to restore order , and the good sense shown by the provisional government in its first acts , have had the effeet . of reviving conn dence everywhere , and lthe unanimity with which ' the Republic * has been accepted throughout . the provinces ( as far as the accounts have yet reached us ) leads to the hope that there will be no disturbances elsewhere .

    On Sunday all the churches in Paris were opened and masses were said for the dead .

    ! THE COMMUNISTS . .-. M . Cafcet , who is regarded as the chief of the communists , has put forth an address to that , body , recommending it to give its full adhesion to the provisional goy . ernmenC , referring toitfelf all possible but pacific action in favour of individual liberty and the right of association and . discussion . M . Cabet also strongly inculcates respect for property .. ......

    sungbj the .

The appearance of tho cavalry was magnificent ,, and added to the regular leg ions of infantry , in grand teune , a most imposing sight , Tho aspect of the newly organised part of the force was , b > might be espected , less satisfactory as a military spectacle .

It took a very long time indeed before all the procession passed . Tho National Guards and the volunteers chaunted tho 'Marseillaise , ' and other patriotic airs , and the chorus was taken up by the spectators . The effect thus produced was moat imposing , several thouiand voices at intervals keeping up tho burden of the songs .

    TUB LATE ARMAND dRKPL . To-day there was a manifestation by the Republicans at the church of St Maude , in Paris , where the remains of Airmaud . Carrel aro buried . It will be recollected ttiat'besides several pamphlets written by him , Armand Carrel , was tbe editor of the National . He was k ? lled some years ago by Emile de Girardin . The people wished at once to carry his ashes to the Pantheon , but the provisional eovernraent adjourned the ceremony . It is said that there s to be another manifestation of the same kind , at which the members of the government will assist . P 0 RK 1 GN UB 1 . ATION 8 .

    The circular note . addressed by M . de Lamartine on yesterday afternoon to the various ambassadors in Paris is exceedingly brief , and is roost particular in inculcating the fnctthat the Republic is altogether opno ? ed to any aggressive course . It states that as he has b en appointed provisional Minister oi Foreign Affairs for the French Republic , it becomes his duty to announce the fact to tbe representatives of the different powers of Europe , that the new government is most anxious to enter into friendly relations with them—that it h' -pes that nothing may occur which can offend the reciprocal dignity ofthe several States , and trusts that tbe harmony which at present exists may not bo interrupted . ' The note concludes by reminding the various nations tbat Peace and Liberty were born on the same dav . ... The Pope ' s nuncio immediately returned a most cordial answer .

    Lord Normanby had a long interview with M . de Lamartine ; and La Preqse , which iu the self-ap . pointed semi-official organ ofthe government , published a second edition , intimating tbat the result of the interview was of a nature to leave no doubt ofthe friendly dispositions of England .

    ire bourse . The Bourse continued closed to-day . A great crowd of persons ^ mained all . day on the steps , discussing public affairs . Under the clock has been painted tbo words . ' Eealit & .

The following proclamation has been issued : — "Workmen—By a decinlon of this day , the Minister oi Public Works has ordered that , the Works In course of execHtionwill be immediately resumed .

    ADHESIONS TO THE GOVERNMENT . ' At Dijon tho ! Rtpublic was proclaimed on the 26 'h— -a fact of which we were aware before . At Tonnerre there was ' a great deal of agitation , but not of a hostile character . At Cherbourg , where the news of the abdication of Louis Philippe and the formation ofthe provisional government were known by telegraph onthe Thursday evening , some officers of the garrison-received the news singing tha Marseilaise . Caen and its neighbourhood were calm .

    and tiie National Guards were keeping order . At Metz the abdication of Louis Philippe was known , but it ws thought there would be a Regency . The people werequiet . At Meaux several squadrons of dragoons had arrived , ! who had fled from Paris . At Brest the news was not known . At Rheiras the news had jusfc arrived , and there was a great deal of excitement , but it was merely of curiosity . At Strasburg the abdication , and tbe nomination of M . Odillon Barrot was known , and the tri-colour flag was immediately exhibited at all the windows .

    At Bourdeaux the Republic had just been announced bytelegraph , and the appel forthe National Guards was goinground ; At Tours and at Poitiers the Republic was proclaimed ,, and the troops 'fraternised' with the public at once . At Lyons the abdication , of the king had been proclaimed' ; tbe city was calm . At Angers the National Guards had seized upon all the posts in tho name ofthe Republic At Mans the Mayor proclaimed the Republic ; the populace appe 'red satisfied . At St Etienne , Roanne , Liaioj ;©' , and Moulins , ibe news was eqoally well received . This 39 tbe substance of the information given by . tbe Director-General : The National ^ saya : ¦—A . great number of ex-peers of France , who have already Berved more than one regime , presented themselves on Saturday at the Hotel de-Yille , and placed themselves at the disposal oftne provisional government .. We-must add that they were very coldly received .

    M Odillon Barrot , MDuvergierdeHaurannB , M . Leon Maleville , and a great number of deputies , who formerly . belonged to the ' dynastic opposition , went on Sunday to the Hotel de Ville , and having been introduced to the members of the . provisional government , offered their adhesion and cooperation , considering it a duty to rally themselves to the government which had so courageously accepted the difficult mission of re-establishing order , and ofjwatchingover the maintenance ef the great principles on which society reposes . A considerable number of the prefects have sent in their resignationstn the Minister of the Interior , but have signified that they will remain at their posts until their successors are appointed , and in the mean , time will do all in their , power to maintain order and tho nublic safety . .

    Marshal Bugeaud had been tbe first Marshal to submit to the . new government , and it was said that only three general officers in the whole , army still de . nied it their allegiance . Jerome Bonaparte and Napoleen Bonaparte have addressed leiters of adhesion to the government . So has also the Chamber of Commerce . Tho Chamber has decided that the sum of 20 , 000 francs'shall be paid for the relief of . tho wounded and the working class . . . " LEGITIMIST DEMONSTRATION !

    'Ten young men attempted on Saturday evening , says the Couhrier Francais ;* ' to gefup a Legitimist manifestation in the Faubourg St Germain . The peop } e , seeing them all dressed in black , with white cockades in their hats , cried' out * Tiens ! Tiens'l A funeral ! They are undertakers ' men ! ' The young men , finding the people in such gpjd humour , immediately aek to ' work ' . Friends , ' exclaimed they . ' . ' nmember Henry IV ., and proclaim his descendant . Long live Henry V . ' The people , in the same good humour , immediately cried Out , * Ah " , how is be , the

    dear prince ? Is he not dead ? So much the better . Make our compliments to him , if you please , gentle men . How happy he will bo ! Henry IV . is dead ! Vive la Republique ! ' Thus did the pe o ple-turn legitimacy to the right about . ' If we ' relate this fact , it is micrely to add that , in despair for the cause , thej immediately went to insoribe themselves at their respective mayoralties , as nearly all the young men of the Faubourg St Germain had already done ? ' Thus Legitimacy has turned into Republicanism , the wisest thing it could do . Henry IV ; is dead . ' Long live the Republic !• ' • ' ' ; ¦ ¦¦

    MOST IMPORTANTDECREE .-TI 1 E PEOPLE SHALL BE SAVED . Considering that the rovolution made by the people i ought to be made for them , That it ia time to put an end to tbe long aud iniquitous sufferings of workmen , ' That the labour question Is one of supremo impor . tance , ¦; 'that there is no other more high or more worthy ol '¦ tbe consideration of a republican government . That it belongs to Prance to study ardeaily , and to i solve a problem submitted at present to % ll the industrial nations of Europe—Tbeprovisional government of the Republib decrees a , permanent commission , which shall be named Commi 3 ' > aion de joutjoi-ncment pour les tmvattteurs , is about to ba i nominated , with the express and special mission of oc- ¦ cupyin ff rhrrnselre * witb their lot .

    To show how much importance tbeprovisional govern- . ment of the Republic attaches to the solution of this I great problem , it nominates president of tbe Com mis- ¦ slon of Government for Workmen one of Its . members ,, M , Louis BUnc , and for vice-president another of its I members , M .

    AMERICA AND PRAKCB . The National givs the following address of Mr Rush , tbe Minister of tho United States " on the occasion of his congratulating the Provisional Government : — WrR . Rush thus expressed himself : — 'Gentlemen—As representative of the United States , chnrsed with . care of the rights and interests ' F my country , and of my fellow-citizens residing in Franca and being at too great a-distance to await instruct tionp , 1 seizi the earliest opportunity of ( ifering my congratulations , persuaded that ray government will approve the step , of which I have taken the initiation . I must not omit toremind you that the & Ui « ance and friendship which have so long united France and the United States is unimpaired . I am certain that a loud and universal expression of hope

    will animate my country for the prosperity , happiness , and glory of France under the institutions which she has now inaugarated in conVmity with the will of the nation . Americans will have aa ardent hope that under the wisdom of France these institutions will have- for'the whole human race results , to which the magnanimous : conduct of tha people in the lateevents ' afford . a happy presage . Under similar institutions , the United States have enjoyed for ' seventy years an increasing prosperity , with a government fit uninterrupted stability ; and if the Union invariably leaves to other countries a free choice of government , without any interference , it will naturally feel gratified in seeing anothergreafe nation flourish under institutions which have assured to themselves the benefits of social order and public liberty .

    Permit me , gentlemen , to employ the words of the great and excellent Washington , the immortal founder of our ' Republic , used by him on a similar occasion-to the present ; and to terminate ' this address by adding to my congratulation the earnest hope that ' the friendship of tho two Republics tahy be co-extensive with their "duration . " " M . Araoo replied that the members of the governmentreceived without surprise , but with livelr pleasure , the sentiments expressed by the ambassador o £ the United States . France . expected no less fr-m an ally with whom she p ' aced herself in more intimate relations by the proclamation of a Republic . ' The provisional government , ' he added , ' ¦ thanks you for the good wishes you entertain for the greatness and prosperity of France . It is delightful to re-echo the words of Washington , and it has a firm reliance , that these words will not only be a desire bnt a reality . ' .

    M . Dupont ( de 1 'Eure ) , then addressine the ambassador , said—* Permit roe , s \ r , in . offering my hand , to assure you that the French people ten * ders a hand of friendship to the American nation . ' Mr'R . Rush , was accompanied by Mr Martin , chief secretary of the embassy , and also by Major Pousaih . When these gentlemen quitted the Hotel de Ville , tbn guards presented arms , and criea of * Vive la Republique des EtaU Unis ! ' saluted the ambassador .

    PLIGHT OF LOUIS PHILIPPE . ¦ ' ¦ The flight of Louis Philippe , ' says , the N atiosal , ' was marked by an incident which does so much honour to the feelings of our population , that we hasten to mention it . At the moment the ex-king was escaping by the little low door-say nearly opposite the bridge , and going into the little voiture thafi waited for . him , he found himself surrounded by the people . Two cuirassiers stationed in . the Place de la Cofccorde rushed to his protection , and this brave regiment , without , however , iising their arms , opened a passage . Ah officer , seeing the danger , cried out ' Me & sieura , spare the king . ' To which a stentorian voice . replied' 'We arc not assassins—let him go . ' 'Yes , yes , let him go , qu'ttparte , ' became the general cry . The people have been too brave during the combat not to bo generous after the victory . '

    THE EX-MINISTER ? . ( From the Modb . ) M . Guizot escaped on Wednesday evening from hia hotel by a back door , and set out in a cabinet-courier caleche for . Calnip , where he baa , it is supposed , embarked for London . The same evening , M . Delesserfc left the Prefecture of Police in disguise . About ten o clock , the same night , M . flebert quitted the Chancellerie by tbe door of the Rue Neuve du Luxembourg . He sent several times to the Etat Major and to the Chateau to demand a reinforcement of troops . He complained , both in Ms own name and that of MM . Duchatel and Guizot . of having been so gravely led into error b y the Minister of War and General Ser-astiaoi , as to the feeling of ilife army . The ministers loudly attributed to Louis Philippe the responsibility oi all the measures of rigour whioh had been adopted . /

    , Tbe silence preserved respecting M . Guizit and his fellow ex-ministera in the Parisian journals is very remarkable . It was only on Sunday that any steps were taken against them , thus leaving them as it were full time to escape . A general meeting ofthe Court of Appeal was held on Sunday to deliberate on the following requisition , presented by M . Portalis , procureur-general , against M . Guizot ahdhis . colleagues : — ' Considering that the ministers of the ex-king .

    Louis Philippe , by prohibiting an aci not prohibited by the law , and by bringing into Paris masses of troops , to whom the order was given to fire on the citizens , have rendered themselves amenable . to . the charge provided for by . the 91 st article of , the penal code ; _ "'" . ' . . , . ' - r ' Considering that in point of fact ( hia charee , if established by evidence , must constitute , the crime of an attempt to excite the citizens and inhabitants to take up arms against each other , and ' . "bring devasta-. tion , massacres , and robbery , into the commuhea of Paris : ' ' " ¦ . ' ' '" .. '' . '"

    ' Considering that , as a consequence lo this attempt and with a view to assure its execution , the said ministers on Wednesday and Thursday last did actually give instruction end orders to the troops to fire on the citizens ; which also constitutes a crime provided for and punished by our penal laws ; ' Considering that in all cases the Court of Appeal , even though it m ' << y not have been decided'that , there is a formal groundfor a prosecution , may , by ' virtue of their office , whether there be or not an information pending against any forties ,, order that such parties be arrested , receive evidence against them , and decide on other steps to be taken concerning them ; ' ' Considering the circumstances in which we are now placed , and in order to prove to all our fellow , citizens what interest their magistrates take for their safety , and for the punishment of such , crimes , if they areprpved : — •

    ' Considering all this , we demand a criminal information against the parties mentioned below , as authors of the attempt in question , and also against their accomplices * according to the terms Ofthe 23 oth article of the . criminal code . .,, ' We also demand that the above may be immediately deliberated 6 n ; ' lnorder that aU'toecessary mea « surea may be taken , and thewarrdhts issued . f 'Auguste Portaus , Procureur-General .. 1 Agreeable to the ~ above requisition , the court paased a decree / declaring that it-ehtertains tbe accusation , that informations shall . be laid against the exiministers and . their accomplices , orders the seizure of the body of M , Guiz > t and ' . hUs eight colleagues , and entrusts MM .
