      After long delay and much opposition , Mr . Sicast Woetxey has succeeded in getting his bill for legalising marriages -within certain de <» rees of affinity , . carried through a second reading . The mmority , however , is so large and so determined in its opposition that it is probable it will be ¦ vi gorously resisted in its future stages , and reach the House of Lords only at a period when its * ' slaughter , " in common with scores of other bills , will be inevitable . It is said that we may expect the prorogation in about a month . "Whether that surmise be true or not , it appears as though the session would be much shorter than last year . It will certainly be equally barren .

      Freehold Land Redemption Society. The De...

      FREEHOLD LAND REDEMPTION SOCIETY . The desirability of a society to enable the working classes ofthe United Kingdom to possess themselves of property In their native soil , has Jong been Mb , and , so far as one-body—the National Land Company—is concerned , every effort has been made to compass that object . So decided , however , is the hostility of the ruling governmental power ol this country to any proceeding , however just or equitable , that appears at all likely to secure the possession of landed property to the masses , that -every conceivable obstacle and legal difficulty that . cunning could devise , - have been put forward to -impede the progress of that labour-redeeming confederacy .

      The Press , tbe Bar , and the Senate , have all been called into requisition to crush the National Land Company , and to nullify its operations : but the only effect of this array of fearful opposition lias been to retard , but hot to break up , the Company . The first law officer of the Crown has been employed to put it down , and when pleading in the Court of Queen ' s Bench against it he was not niggardly of ill-natured and ill-inten tioned remarks : out the impartiality of the Court estimating his desperate effort at its real worth , and upon the evidence before it , gave a decision , which , as far as it went , was most favourable to the Companv . But such are the proceedings in the " higher courts " and so doubtful is the " glorious

      uncertainty" of law , that a final decision on the legality ofthe Land Company is likely to he delayed for considerable time to come , —notwithstanding that the Attorney-General , when the matter was last before the court , actually pressed for an immediatededsion , on the ground , " that the interests of so many people were involved in it , " and because " several other companies would also be affected by this decision of their lordships . " It appears now , however , that the hope is , that delay and consequent suspense , will effect the same object as an adverse decision on the part of the Queen's Bench , and hence , the late term has been allowed to pass over without any return on the part of the Registrar to the writ issued at the instigation ofthe Companv . —The Directors , however , are determined not to be thus defeated , and they much mistake the members of the Company and its numerous friends

      ofthe working classes , if they will allow this fresh andmore quiet method of bm-king the land movement to succeed . The land is what the people want , and the land is what they can and must get . It requires but a judicious use ofthe small means at their disposal to enable them to do so , and the Directors ofthe Land Company being determined to make the land revolution successful , have prepared a plan whereby all may have a portion of the soil , the possession of which' is indispensable to the enloyment of real freedom , and without which the " millions of toUers must continue slaves , no matter what may he the nature of the political constitution of the countrv . The Directors have resolved , that in the case ofthe " Freehold Land Redemption Society , " the harpies of the law shall not have any advantage over them , as the society will be duly enrolled before it opens its exchequer to the receipt of funds

      -. The chiet features ofthe " Freehold Land Redemption Society" , that its payments . will be classified so as to meet the convenience 01 the various means of the working classes . The subscriptions are intended to he from one shilling per week and upwards .

      THE LAND TO BE FREEHOLD . THE TOTE TO BE SECURED . The land to be bought in the immediate vicinity of towns , so that the members will not have to remove to distant places . .., _ , „; --The Society to terminate m a period averaging Frsm ten to ' eleven years , and at its termination every member to be in possession of his property in fee simple , and the title deeds securing the same to him and his heirs forever . . Prospectuses will be immediately issued , and in a few days the rules will be enrolled . In the meantime , as the Directors wish the co-operation of all . rood men , they invitethe advice and suggestions of their numerousfriends throughout the country .

Butitisright they should know thatthe T ! , VH ? ot coated , and it is also just that they saould know that the purchase money of each of those allotments will not much exceed the amount of bonus they have already paid—that is , that the amount they have paid will go within fifteen or sixteen pounds of purchasing the land out-and-out . and

      will render them liable to no rent , except four per cent , upon the amount expended upon the house and four per cent ., or about twelve shillings per year , interest upon the difference between ' their bonus and what their allotments would be valued at . These two farms are adjoining each other . It should be understood that this land is capable of being made as productive as any land upon the estate , while the Directors consider it their duty to give the above members the option of taking it , or receiving back the amount of bonus they have paid . The Directors also beg to inform the unsuccessful members , who have paid into the bonus

      lund , that they can receive the amount by return of post , upon application . It will be also found from the subjoined list , that parties have paid £ 120 , £ 100 , and others equal sums , and it will be necessary for those parties to remit an increase to entitle them to priority of choice , but they cannot place themselves in a situation to take precedence of those who have already paid a larger amount . The allotments will be respectively assigned - on Monday week ; and therefore these increased remittances should be forwarded with as little delay as possible , in order that a correct list should be furnished to Mr . Doyle on the' estate .

      As a matter of course , the Directors cannot be answerable for the neglect of other parties , and therefore it should be distinctly understood , thatthe successful members should be en the estate on Monday , 2 nd of July , at twelve o ' clock , and each prepared with his receipt for the amount of bonus , to guide Mr . Doyle in his apportionment of the allotments . We trust that this information is sufficiently distinct and simple to exonerate the Directors from any blame consequent upon the neglect of the interested parties . William Dixon .

      THE TRAITORS TRIUMPHAN T ! Brother Proletarians , i The , ^ ° P 1 hardl y dared to cherish when I last addressed you have vanished and the apprehension s of evil I entertained have been but too faithfull y realised . In the dying words of . Robespierre « the brigands triimtpi " But I will not say with that immortal martyr "the Republic is lost ; " for in spite of the terrible misfortune of the 13 th of June , I hare hopes that the Republic will yet be saved , and that the traitors will be brought to that punishment their crimes so loudly call

      : Lp to this time I hare no report from our tnmds of the actual events of the 13 th of June , and subsequent days . As you will be aware , the democratic journals were suppressed t iie moment the manifestation in favour ofthe Constitution , that is in defence of the Republic , took place . It is true that the formal suppression of those journals did not take place until some days subsequent to the 13 th ; but what mattered the form , when the fact took place the very day the people of Paris manifested their attachment to the Republic , and their abhorrence of the fratricidal war waged against the Roman Republic . To

      ensure the suppression ofthe democratic journals , a body of the National Guards ofthe 1 st , that is one of . the most aristocratic of the leg ions , invaded the printing offices of the Peup le , the Republique , the Democratic Pacifique , the Vraie Republique , and other journals , and scattered the type , broke the presses , and , in fact , destroyed or rendered useless the entire printing property of the several establishments . While this Avork of destruction was beingperpetratedby the defenders of property (?) , the poor printers were placed in peril of their lives ; loaded muskets were pointed at their heads , and the order of the leading- ruffians

      was : " If any one of these men moves , shoot him ! " So much for the defenders of order (!) Subsequentl y , the Assembly having voted the state of siege , that assassin Buonaparte issued a decree suspending the Reforme , the Peuple , the Revolution Democratique et Sociale , the Democratic Pacifique , the Republi que , the Tribune des Peuples , and the Vraie Republique . Every journal devoted to the interests of the Proletarians is "suspended , " that is extinguished , for as long as the triumphant conspirators please , or for as long as the people of Prance allow those ruffians to exist .

      By way of rendering his tyranny the more conspicuous and unmistakeable , * the great " Special Constable" has established military posts in all the offices of the suppressed journals . He has not merely crushed the only faithful representatives of the working classes , so far as the Press was concerned , but b y going beyond the worst that Chakles the Tenth ever hoped to effect , or that Louis Philippe ever attempted , President Buonaparte has shown his determination to crush

      the pen by the sword , truth by force , and ri ght by violence . So be it . " Those who live by the sword shall perish by the sword . " -Were I a prophet I would so . prophecy , and had I the power I would see that certain parties realised in their own persons the full meaning of that prediction . But taking for granted the accounts of the events of the 13 th of June , and subsequent days , furnished

      by such papers as tho Constitutionnel , and supplied by the correspondents ot the London daily papers , the conclusion will be come to by all honest men , that Ledru Rollin and his compatriots acted nobly and bravely in appealing to the people , although , unfortunately , that appeal miscarried . As shown in my last letter , the Constitution had been violated , and , consequently , it became the duty ofthe mmority to give the signal to the people to rise in defence of the Constitution .

      Let the corrupt journals lie , sneer , and scoff as they please , Ledru Rolli . v and his gallant associates deserve the applause of all nations . It is true the movement was suppressed without hardly a blow being struck , so far as Paris was concerned ; but the men who set their lives , their all , upon a cast , did so with not unreasonab ' e hopes of success . So fur as human foresight could avail , there was reason to hope that the soldiery would not be deaf to the appeal made to their honour and patriotism , both outraged by the infamous war carried on against Home , and by the gross violation of the Constitution . In consequenceof their votes at

      the recent election , and the part taken by large numbers of them in connexion with the Social-Democratic propaganda , there was good reason for believing that the army was largely indoctrinated with Red Republican principles . It was known that the artillery legion of the National Guard was thoroughly democratic , and it was not , could not be doubted , that the mass of the people thoroughly detested the traitors at the head ofthe Republic . The attempt , therefore , of Ledru Hollis and his compatriots to save the Republic , by an appeal to arms , was justified , not only by the justice of their cause , and by the letter ofthe Constitution , but also by politic calculations of success .

      But they were mistaken . The enemy had also made his calculations , and , as the result showed , he had calculated most accurately . The fact- is , that the violation of the Constitution hy President , Ministers , and the Legislative Majority , was deliberately planned for the purpose of goading the true Republicans to descend into the streets , where it was intended they should be slaughtered . Under the terrorism exercised by CiiAiraABxiisit and the other aristocratic chiefs of the army , the soldiery were influenced to present a hostile front to the Democrats . But the soldiers would not have fought auainst the people if the National Guards had shown

      themselves inclined to support the Constitution . To prevent any such manifestation on the part of the Guards , the Ruoxapartist conspirators took care not to beat the rappel , because that would harp brought tha democratic , as well as the aristocratic Guards to the scene of action . Consequently , the latter only made their appearance , having been privately summoned by the counter-revolutionary chiefs . As regards the people , the fri g htful butchery of which large numbers were tho victims in June , 1818 , together with the courts-martial , and subsequent arrests and condemnations , had thinned their ranks of a vast number of the most

      determined combatants . Misery and cholera had done much to damp the spirits of the survivors ; and , lastly , thanks to the plans long since matured by CnANGAnNiEB and his brother brigands , those who were ready and anxious to seal their devotion to the Republic with their blood , wore for tho most part in want of arms , and were everywhere prevented from attempting resistance by the masses of troops and National Guards directed upon every spot where a popular gathering gave token of disaffection to the government . The movement was suppressed , the democratic journals crushed , and probably at this moment there are not fewer than a thousand of the chiefs and leaders of the people under arrest , including

      several members of the Mountain . Ledru Rollin is a fugitive , and nearly all the other true friends of the peop le , who are not under arrest , are in concealment , or are flyin ? from their unfortunate country . The state of siege—that is absolute , irresponsible , military ruffianism—is now the sole law in Paris , Lyons , and other cities . Lastly , a law has been adopted by the Assembly , arming * the Government for twelve months to come with power to suppress all clubs and public meetings by force ! The affliction most to be regretted is , that one hundred and fifty of our brethren of Lyons , have fallen fig hting for the Democratic and Soci ? l Republic . That is , One Hundred and Fifiy Murders , for which I trust that Buonaparte and his fellow-traitors and assassins wilfyet be brought to

      justice . , Brother Pboletabiaxs , we must not despair of France , but rather hope that the hour is at hand when the people of that country will gloriously avenge themselves by chastising their tyrants , and establishing a veritable Republic—the " Rexniblique democratique el Sociale !"

      a Hireling they must submit to "their spiritual pastors and masters , and all that are put in authority under them ;" —( laughter , and " Hear , hear " )—and they also profess the greatest veneration for the book from which they profess to draw their religion , which book tells us "that men of all nations are made of one flesh and blood ; " yet , at the same time , they mow down their brethren with grape shot and cannister . The rulers of France deserve the execration of all mankind ; whilst the patriots of Hungary , for their noble and heroic conduct , have won , and richly merit honour from all nations . ( Immense cheering . ) Look at Austria , headed by a brutal monster of an Emperor , who , while he brutally flogs

      women and tortures men to death , calls himself the father of his people . ( Laughter , and groans . ) Why there is a league of kings and scoundrels—the Guizots and Metternichs—to put down democracy m all nations —( hear , hear)—and what is it that democracy asks , that governments should be so desirous of keeping it down- ? why tho political , moral , and social happiness of the whole people . ( Loud cheers . ) Under such circumstances it should be our duty to unite all sections pf the Democratic party . Let lis have a league of peoples against the league of kings and despots , and make kings proclaim equality of rights to all men ; but this will never be done until a thorough republican feeling , pervades all countries . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Kings were frequently very mean people ; look at tho King of Hanover , ruling a portion of Germany , and at the to

      same ^ ime dipping his hand into our pockets the tune of £ 23 , 000 per annum . He could not think what the Queen Dowager wanted with £ 100 , 000 per annum . When he compared his income with her ' s he could not think what she did with it- ( loud laughter)—and then it appeared she had some £ 6 , 000 a year of pocket money , which she could throw in the gutter if she liked . These things must be altered . This meeting was a step in tho right direction , and he said go on , and success must follow . ( Loud cheers . ) He had received a letter , from Mr . 0 . W . M . Reynolds , stating that he was hoarse from the effects of speaking at two meetings on the preceding night , and laid up with a severe cold , but , at the same time , expressing his sincere and cordial approbation of the object ofthe meeting . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr . Har-sey , the secretary , said he had received two letters , one from Mr . 11 . Moore , stating , that being engaged at another meeting for a similar purpose , at Cowper-street , that night , he could not attend theirs j and he read the following : — St . John ' Wood , July 14 th , 1819 . ' Deaii Sin , —Circumstances , sufficiently well known , have made me resolve in future to decline attendance at public meetings , and to confine my advocacy of liberal opinions exclusively to my pen . Were it otherwise I would most gladly attend the meeting on the 19 th , "for expressing Sympathy with-our Democratic Brethren on the continent . " The meeting will have my warmest approbation . No language can be too strong to characterise the conduct of con tinentul governments , most especially the infamous outrage of the French government on the young Republic of Rome . Yours faithfully , J . Julian Harney . William Howitt .

      Mr . G . J . Holyoake moved the following resolution : — " That as all nations arc formed of one flesh , and are consequently brethren , despotism and usurpation are contrary to , and subversive of , the great laws of humanity ; and as the end of all government should be the happiness and well-being of the governed , those who by an assumption of unnatural power trample on and destroy their follow men , deserve to be held up to scorn and execration ; while those who are enslaved , and are nobly struggling to free themselves from bondage , and those , too , who having won liberty , are defending their freedom at the cost of their lives , merit the admiration , the applause , the sympathy , and support of the people

      of this and every other country . " He said : It was ' enough to tell them that the Romans had established a republic of their own , which had been most disgracefully attacked by France , to the eternal disgrace of her rulers—it was not the French people , but their rulers , in opposition to their will , that were attacking the brave Roman people . The French had no pretext for that interference , as the Romans wove unanimous . What the Triumvirs did , was done with the wisli and full concurrence ofthe whole Reman people , which had been proved by the inadvertent admission made by the Emperor of Russia in a colloquy with some bishops The Emperor said , " that the true faith only prevailed in Russia —( loud laughter );—that as

      men become faithless they lose their feeling for good government ( ho did not know whether good government meant the knout ); that- faith . had decreased in the west , and the people had become discontented and rebellious , and he much feared it had entered his own dominions—( tremendous and longcon tinned cheering );—but thoy must be vigilant , and they might rely on his assistance in the restoration of order . " ( Laughter . ) The freedom of one nation affected tho whole , and vice versa , and if one nation was oppressed it was the duty of all others to assist the oppressed nation . The Russian and Austrian despots merited the opposition of all free people . He was delighted to think the men of the metropolis had come forth in defence of Rome so promptly as they had done , it- redounded to the jnUUHUlJ 110 UUVJ ¦« " « » V"V | . V iv » vu'mv » vv v ~

      credit of the republican feeling prevailing in this country . ( Loud cheers . ) He was a member of a committee who sympathised with Italy , and that committee had in a very short time received more money for the Romans than they had been enabled to raise for any other purpose for years past . ( Cheers . ) They had the means of communicating with tho brave Romans , and lie had tho pleasure of assuring them , that the Triumvirs and the Roman people were proud of tho sympathy of tho English Democrats . ( Loud cheers . ) Not only men but women were fighting for Roman liberty in a manner worthy of their ever glorious ancestors . ( Rapturous applause . ) . Julian Harney , who on coming forward was received with loud applause , said : This resolution

      asserts two great principles : that all men are brethren : and that it is the duty of the nations to afford each other mutual aid " as members ot the same human family . I should like to see the man who would stand Here and attempt to' demonstrate the unsoundness of these principles . It is true that in the history of the human race there has hitherto been but little of Fraternity . Hitherto kings , and priests , and aristocrats , and capitalists—and I am sorry to add to the disreputable list , sham-republican rulers—have set the nations tearing at the throats of each other , when , instead of which , it was tho interest and duty of the people of all countries to have marched- together , shoulder to shoulder , in pursuit of the one great end of life , —

      happiness . ( Hear , hear . ) Will any one attempt to show that it is the interest of the Russian people to butcher the Hungarians ? Of the Prussian' people to butcher the Poles ? Of the German people to butcher their own countrymen the Republicans of tho Rhine ? -Ofthe French people to butcher the glorious defenders of Republican Rome ? ( "No , no , " and cheers . ) But ¦! will come nearer home . I will ask , is it the interest of the English people to send soldiers to cut the throats of tho Sikhs ? ( "No , no" ) . Though Queen and parliament , Lords and Commons , aided by the lies of the press and the roar of the Tower guns , should unite to declare the wars waged against the Sikhs as necessary and glorious , I will say that those wars were neither tho

      one nor the other . ( Cheers . ) I will maintain that the Sikhs ( like the Romans and Hungarians ) were justified in fighting for the freedom and independence of their fatherland . ( Great cheering ) . 1 ask , was it the interest of the English people that English seamen and ships of war should have been sent to the Tagus to re-impose a svstem of hateful slavery upon the Portuguese ? ( ' " No , no . " ) No ! Let kings , and statesmen , and military brigands , and lying journalists , talk as they please about law , and , order , and legal government , and legitimacy , and right divine , and loyalty , and g lory , and national honour , and so through the entire vocabulary of fraud , falsehood ' , and humbug , 1 tell you that the wars of nation against nation , and one section of

      the people called soldiers , against another section called labourers , are gigantic assassinations , wholesale murder . ( Renewed cheering ) . On the other hand , I am prepared to demonstrate that it is the interest of all nations to aid each other . It is the interest ofthe people that oppression should be overthrown , and justice be established iu every land . ( Applause ) . This resolution holds up to scorn and execration all ihose who make war against justice and liberty . Limited to time , I will not now speak of the Austrian despot , the perjured Prussian tyrant , or that imperial executioner the autocrat of Russia , I will speak only of the infamous French government . From the commencement of the the whel

      world to the present hour , throughout e history of our species , there has never been a greater act of atrocity—I doubt if there has ever been enacted any crime so horrible as that of the unprovoked attack upon , and bombardment of Rome . ( Hear , hear ) . I denounce President Buonaparte and his infamous ministers—( groans ; and hisses)—as the betrayers of European liberty , traitors to the French Republic , and as . sassinsof the glorious Romans . ( Hear hear ) . I am not one it those who take care always to be on the winning side . 1 do not wait to see whether a party is victorious or vanquished before I declare myself , Whether the cause pf justice , is successful

      or defeated , I take my stand on the side of that cause . And I declare , that although unfortunately beaten , the friends of democrary in Paris acted nobly on the 13 th of June . ( Cheers . ) Honour to Ledru Rollin and the Socialist Democratic leaders of France . ( Immense cheering . ) It is said that the Mountain is only the minority of the Assembl y and had no right to rise against the majority , but 1 say that the majority , in backing up tho traitorous President and his traitorous ministers , forfeited their right to sit in the Assembly . The President , the Ministry , and the majority ofthe Assembly had violated tho Constitution , and from the moment they did so they were traitors . Duty enjoined the minority to rise against , punish , and take the place

      of the majority . ( Cheers ) . But our friends failed , and blood flowed at Lj ons in vain—in vain for a time , buD the hour of retribution will come . ( Applause ) . In the meantime it is dnr duty to do more than pass this and the other resolutions which will be submitted to you . It is our duty to do more than sympathise with the French Democrats . express our admiration ofthe Hungarians and Germans , and subscribe money for the Romans—it is our duty to take the necessary steps to obtain political power for ourselves , so that we may bo enabled to give the aid of p hysical force , if need be , to our brethren of the continent . ( Cheers ) . I am a great admirer of peace , and I do not despair that about the time ofthe commencement of the millenium " permanent

      and universal peace" may be established , but at present I think such professing philanthropists as Cobden and Sturge , instead of holding peace meetings at Exeter Hall , would do well to ' hold meetings such as this to sympathise with the brave Romans , Hungarians , and Germans . ( Applause . ) There cannot be ' peace , and there ought not to be peace , until oppressors are everywhere overthrown . ( Renewed applause . ) If the people of this country possessed political power , a control over the House of Commons , and government of tho country , our war ships , at present rotting in our harbours , and our soldiers living in idleness , would be sent to Italy and Germany to rescue the Romans , aed the Germans ,, and frighten back the Tsar to his

      Muscovite den . ( Loud cheers . ) The people of this country have no desire for war , for they have had too much of war and taxation ; but in a case of necessity I am persuaded they would not tamely stand by and see their brethren butchered by tho hordes of tyrannical usurpers . ( Cheers . ) There is but one rule of right for nations as well as for individuals , and that rule enjoins the strong to assist the weak when the latter are exposed to oppression and outrage . If wcliad a government worthy the name , it would forthwith take up the cause of the Democrats of the continent . But we shall not have such a government till we have tho Charter , and we shall not have the Charter till union and energy become the adopted virtues of the democratic party . The

      social reformers desire democratic reform ; why not , then , unite with tho Chartists ? The Chartists aim at social reform ; why not , then , unite with the social reformers ? I implore all the able and true leaders and instructors of the people to forget their jealousies , their injuries—real or imagined —to abandon the rivalries ol a petty ambition , forget . the quarrellings of the past , and cordially unite to advance the great cause we are wedded to . ( Great applause . ) Then should our brethren on the continent be compelled to succumb for a timo—' thon by our union , judgment , . and energy , we may plant the banner of ' Social Democracy on these shores , and re-commencing in this country the struggle for Freedom and Right , we may extend the

      movement from England to the continent , and sustain it until oppression shall everywhere be overthrown , and tho reign of Justice bo universally , triumphantly , and permanently cstablishid . ( Enthusiastic and prolonged cheering . ) Mr . A . Walton , in supporting the resolution , asked who could help admiring tho spirit which characterised the defenders of the young Roman Republic , headed by the glorious Mazzini . In Hungary , the heroic deeds of Bern , Georgcy , Dembinski , and Kossuth , strike us with an intense feeling of veneration , and inspire hope for the future . ( Much applause . ) If the Germans were true to themselves , ho believed it would be utterly impossible to crush liberty in tho llhenish provinces .

      ( Loud cheers . ) The Lombavdians had been put down by sham Radical traitors . He knew but one greater piece of traitorism—that of Mister " Special Constable" Prince Louis Napoleon Buonaparte in bombarding Rome . ( "Hear , hear , " and execrations . ) Bat he had no fear for the ultimate success of the principles of democracy . The present war was not only one of principles , it was a war of hungry bellies against full ones . England was called a free and great nation , but did they ever know in any other land an instance of a million and a half of people , dying from sheer starvation ? We wanted a reform of our institutions , which could be alone effected by tho united voice of the whole people . The resolution was carried unanimously , amidst the loudest applause .

      Mr . Thomas Clark rose to move the following resolution : — " That this mooting , viewing with admiration the noble endeavours of tho Romans , Hungarians , and Germans to establish Republican institutions , and holding that self-government is the right of all nations , hereby protest against the infamous and diabolical attack upon Rome by the French , Austrian , Spanish , and Neapolitan governments ; the murderous war against , and invasion of Hungary by tho tvrnnnical governments of Austria and Russia , and the league of German Despots formed to crush the Republicans of the Rhine ; and this meeting calls upon the British government to-forthwith recognise tho Republics of Rome , Hungary , and the Rhine , ive to those

      and to g Republics aU possible support against tho tyrannical league of the continental despots . " Ho said : Under ordinary circumstances I would bo most unwilling to lend my assent to the latter partof this resolution , inasmuch as I dissent from the principle of one nation interfering with the internal government of another , and because I think we can best serve the interests of democracy abroad by establishing it at home . ( Hoar . ) I have always admired the conduct pursued by the first President of the American Republic , in relation to will's in foreign states , whicli was to hold entirely aloof from them , taking especial care not , upon any account , to become entangled upon either the one side or the Other . During the administration of the affairs of

      the American Republic by Washington , the first French Revolution occurred , and , as is well known , England interfered to suppress the French democracy . This happened shortly after the termination of the English war with America , and as France had sent soldiers to tho aid of America against England , France , when involved with England , sought the interference of the American government . But Washington , at the outset of the young translantic Republic , wisely resolved not to engageit in foreign wars with any one power , on accou ; t of any other power , and , although his own countrymen were clamorous that he should send troops to the aid of France , Washington positively ^ refused , notwithstanding that such refusal , at tho time , gave

      a considerable shock to his popularity . But experience has since shown that Washington was right , as all his successors have , without exception , followed the course which he then pursued , and his reasons against interfering in foreign wars , no matter what their object , have become an axiom in American politics . ' ( Cheers . ) This train of reasoning , hoWever , does not apply to the conduct of our government , as it has been a habit with them to interfere with everybody , and , generally speaking , their interference has boon upon the wrong side . ( Cheers . ) One instance has already been cited—the case of Portugtl—and I may add the busybody proceedings of-ourToreign Secretary , lately , in the affairs of the Sicilies . ( Hear and cheers . ) This resolution is

      expressive of the strongest condemnation of the conduct ofthe rulers of France , in raising a fratricidal arm against tho Republic of Rome . ( Hear . ) May we not , however , at the same time , ask , "if there are not persons nearer to us than the French Government , whose conduct in this Roman invasion is deserving of censure ? " ( Cheers . ) What has Special Constable Louis Napoleon said in his message to the French Assembly ? Why , that " France * in all that it has done , has had the sanction of the English Cabinet . " ( Loud cries of execretion . ) Yes , much as our Protestant rulers hate tho Pope they have a much stronger hatred of Republics . ( Hear , and cheers . ) The conduct of his Holiness , too , has been most unworthy of the representative of Christ

      upon earth ; as the latest accounts we have of him , represent him engaged inbestowinghisblessing upon a horde of Spanish mercenaries , who were about to march upon Rome , to massacre the brave inhabitants of that glorious city . ( Loud cries of "Shame " and indignation . ) But let the Spaniards go and ioin the French , and I hope that if they enter Rome it will be but to find graves ! ( Tremendous applause , ) This I say sincerely and advisedly , for although I am no advocate of blood shedding , I yet hope that if it must ba shed that the tyrants may pevuh . ( Cheers 1 But supposing the worst to come-,, and that the present governmentof the ' . 'Eternal City " should be put down , their defeat will only be for a time as revolution will inevitably succeed ; revolution ' until ultimately they- will have uprooted the lnst ' vestiae of despotism and ignorance . ( Loud

      cheers . ) The brave Hungarians , too ,, are beating back the mercenaries or the Russian Autocrat , and the Austrians are sharing a similar fate .. ( Hear ) . The limes newspaper itself is most reluctantly admitting such to bethe the fact , althoiigh the conductors of that journal made opposite representations as long as they could . ( Hear ) . They did the same in the ease of Rome and their' Italia ® correspondent—the man who does the atrocious from that part ofthe world—for the . Tims , said , whwi the French arrived in Italy that they would not have anything to do but to , march on Rume seize upon Mazzini and tho other two triumvirs , hang them and tho revolution would be crashed , ( Cries of " Shame . " ) But what does the moral assassin now say ? That bo praiseworthy has been the conduct of the Triumvirs , that , there is not throughout

      the whole papal dominions one man who wishes for the return of the Pope . ( Cheers ) . So much for the veracity of the people at Printing House-square ( Hear ) . I say , all honour to the Roman Triumvirs , and even though they should ; fall , they deserves well of mankind , and they will have built up lor themselves an imperishable monument of finne , winch will be as a beacon light , teaching the nations ^ W * ,, ' , * - ?^ . .- ( Cheers ) .

Dixon seconded , the third resolution ;—

      " That this meeting , maintaining the principle that numbers , whether constituting a majority or a minority , can never sanctify a crime , aiid holding that President Buonaparte , his Ministers , and tho majority ofthe French Assembly , have been guilty of violating every principle of justice- by waging a fratricidal war against the Roman Republic , hereby expresses its most cordial approbation of the conducD pursued by the members ofthe Mountain and the Socialist Democratic leaders of the French people , on the lath of Juno ; and whilst regretting ; the failure of that attempt to save the Democratic cause , this meeting expresses ite fervent detestation ot the military tyrants of France , and most ardent wishes for their speedy downfall . "

      Mr . Lbostebbk O'Bmex , in coming forward to support it , was haded wich rapturous plaudits ,- and said it was wrong to suppose that . a majority had the right to do as it liked in all cases ; it had the right to do as it liked in some cases , but not in others ; if it had , depend on it that mi the House of Commons—the minority—would be sson turned out ot doors . Kot even the Supreme newer had a right to do as it liked in ail cases . " True , Blackstone had written that "Queen , lords , and commons were omnipotent j" but the Queen had only as much power as her ministers would give her—tho lords did what the commons would let them—and the commons were entirely ruled by the iand and fund-lords . ( Ilear , hear . ) The Assembly existing lnlrancehadiio right to be an Assemblv . Thev

      could only sit in right of the Constitution . The Assembly had violated that Constitution , and consequently its powers ceased . It existed now on the strength of one hundred thousand assassins . The men of France had been grossly deceived . Had they believed tho representatives would have allowed an attack on Rome , they never would have returned them . ICot onlv had the "overamont 400 , 000 hired assassns in France , but they had dis « armed the working men , put down six daily papers that advocated , the interest of the people , and threatened three others , and introduced a bill for the suppression of public meetings , soirees , & c , for twelve months . He had told them twelve months since , that an attempt would be made to destroy Universal Suffrage . Already was the

      outpost gone , and the citadel would go next . In the late commotion in Paris , the rappel was not beaten , the government were afraid that the democratic portion of the Rational Guard would turn out as well as the aristocratic . He still believed that Universal Suffrage would be put down , uidess the French people resolved to use fire and sword against reaction . ( Tremendous cheering . ) He would not give a rig for Universal Suffrage , unless as a means to enable him to work out such a social reform as would destroy the pernicious influence of fundlords and landlords . Tnose were , and are the real rulers ; ho would undertake to prove this at

      the bar of the House of Commons , although he would much rather do it in the House itself . ( Cheers . ) The aim of all despotic governments and governors was to destroy Universal Suffrage before die people had time to appreciate its benefits . Henco the present French difficulty . Had a thorough knowledge of social rights prevailed , he did not believe that Louis Kapoleon would ever have been chosen in preference to Ledru Rollin . ( Loud cheers . ) However , he did not think any government could put down Universal Sunrage , " so long as upwards of two millions of people were in ° its favour .

      The resolution was adopted by acclamation . Mr , Stallwood rend and moved the adoption of the following petition , and that it be signed by the Chairman , and presented by Lord Diullcv Stuart , M . P .: — ' TO TUE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OP CHEAT EMTAIN AND

That the people of Hungary , Home , and the Rliinc provinces deserve the applause of all nations for their efforts to free themselves from priestly and royal despotism . That the attempt of the governments of France , Spain , Austria , and Italy to restore the reign of Papal misrule by force of arms , is a gross violation of the rights of nations ; that the invasion of Hungary by Kussia is fraught with peril to all Europe ; and that the league ot the German despots to reduce the people of the Ithiue to slavery , is a crime against humanity . 11 mt there
