    Citizens!—The provisional government has been installed ; it is composed , by the will of the people , of the citizens , Arago , Louis Blanc , Harie , Iiamartine , Floeon _, Ledru-Rollin , Recurt , Marrast _, Aubert . To watch over tbe execution ofthe measures which will be taken by the go . vernmeot , the will of tbe people has also chosen for delegates ia the department of the police the citizens _Caussidiere and Sobrier . The same sovereign will of the people has designated the citizen Et . Arago to the D : reetion ; General ofthe Post-office . As first execution ofthe orders given by the provisional government , it is _sdvised that the bakers , or _farnithers- of provisions of Paris , keep thsir shops open to all those who may have occasion 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 bv treason ; it is important that they shonld not _pive _opporttraitiei to attacks & s criminal & % _& ES _EtB terrible .

    In order to satisfy the general wish of the sovereign people tha provisional _government has effected , with the aid of the National Guard , the liberation of all our ferothers who hare been imprisoned on politicaljrounds . But it has , at the same time , detained in the prisonsalio with the assistance of the most honourable National Guard—all those who h ave been convicted of crimes and misdemeanours against the person and property . The families ofthe 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 , tne names of those who have fallen victims to their devotion to the public cause , in order that tbeir most pressing wants may De attended to . „ , ..

    acllen , insolent and _victorloui i demanded is the midst of the coteries all the rig hts which are the force and honour of civilisation , in the name of the people , cungueror in Its tarn—we < _letn _» nd even at this moment that these rif _hts be recognised , applied , and _ganranteesth « the law ba made hy a _National Assembly elected by the true guff rage ef France—that the Executive _p-jtrer be responsible and delegated—that the national army have for its only duty the defence of the territory , and that tbe Civic Guards lorm the police ef the _tonna i Abe'Ition of the privileges of a property qualification , of

The victories of Paris command tbe world—let us not allow them to fall , n _» r to be lost at the moment at which the world is in progress . This is our motto : — ' Solidarite dee citoyenset _tolidarite des

    peuples !' The Democratie Pacifique says : — The peopl ' . of Paris haa worthily possessed itself of tho sovereignty ; It Is calm and resolved it desires peace and tke alliance of nations : It desires liberty and _justica for all : it desires tbe labour and welfare of all ; It fraternises with all the nations of Europe ; a single word issues from every mouth , — 'Peace ! peace ! and tbe alliance of nations'' The Italians , tbe Spaniards , the English , the Irish , the Gtrmans , the Poles , all the nations of Europe , America , of the whole world , are invited by tbeir brethren of France to fraternise with tbem , to sake an alliance

    between people and people , a universal federation , a sincere conciliation _between all classes aad all interests . France gives you a _guarantee of peace and fraternity . It calls to its hea _4 men of heart , men of peace , men of European _reputation . The name of Lamartine tells you wast are the _jentlmints of peace and _conciliation which animate tbe people of France ; the names which are associated with his in the Provisional Government confirm the guarantee . Peace , then , alliance ef all nations in tbe name of order and liberty , and by peace the disarming of the excetsive forces which ezbauit the national resources and keep alive distrust , henceforth unworthy of the honour of nations truly free . '

    The following important annonncement has been put forth in the official paper , the Commerce : — Paris is revolutionised . The republican regime is proclaimed . A provisional government has taken the direction of tha popular movement . Now let Paris watch over the maintenance of its conquests , with its hundred thousand mnskets , Its cannon , and Its barricades , tot the departments be thought of . Za _'« l * Vie unll think of the foreigner . The departments all follow the ' sublime _Bjsvetaent of Paris . But there are In the departments , at the head of divers offices , men clever in deceit , who will feign to adopt the republican regime , aDd yet nnrsa in their hearts culpable sympathies ; yesterday _COUrtiefS of monopoly , they wonld make _themtelvas the courtiers of the people . New men are wanting for a ntw state ot things .

    The government will therefore send immediately into each department a commissioner of the provisional government to revolutionise the department , tbat is to say , to change men and systems , and bring iato that public conteopt in which they had lived the men of corruption and abuses ; to re-establish everywhere , upon large foundations , the reign of justice , and popular virtue .

    _WORKISG MEN ' S _NAIIOKAL GUARD . Paris , Friday Evening . —A proclamation has been issued to-day by the _provisional government for the organisation of a moveable Rational Guard of twentyfour battalions . Those inscrioinp themselves are to be paid thirty sous per day . Great numbers are already inscribed . The intention of the provisional government is said to be to send these battalions to the frontiers of France , on the Rhine , and the Alps . _SURBENDEK ( F THE CASTLB OF VIXCENKKS . Satubdat , February 26 . —The castle of Vincennes has surrendered this morning , after a very slight

    resistance . The most of the fortifications have surrendered , bnt in one or two of the fortifications the soldiers of the line still hold ont in their barracks . It is thoneht that the fvhole of them will be in the hands of the provisional government in tho ooursa of 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 Momtzur hare bsen 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 twe days no cockades were shown . The busts ef Louis-Philippe are broken everywhere .

    pixaxces op thb new oovbbsuest . The whole of the coming year ' s taxes derived from _per-eentege on Tents of apartments and shopkeepers ' licenses will fall into the hands of the new government , an enormous fund with which te begin . -The million a month to the eivil list is already confiscated , er , as the _ordonnanoa has it , restored to the people , a handsome addition to the fund applicable to the relief of distress . Among the _mor-t curious decrees are that which relates to the Tui _' . erie ? , which is turned into an _asylam fer invalid workmen . All pawned articles under ten franes to ba redeemed for the owners by the Minister of Finances . Bourse will not be open till Tuesday . The Jaw-courts have resumed their sittings—the post office is at work—the shops are opened—everything is doing to calm apprehension . IHE FRENCH _HATT .

    M . Arago , the _repablioan 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 ? They replied , ' All . ' He then mi that he required & man of courage and steadiness—that he knew them all to ba bo , and that he was ready to appoint to the command ofthe fleet ef 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 once approved of by all the admirals present . Admiral _Bandin left at once for Toulon . He is immediately to take the command and sail for Algiers . His instructions are to take pogseedoB of any ships be may find in the port of Algiers , and to proclaim Algeria an integral of the French Republic .

    The whole of the colonels of the twelve legions of the . National Guards have been dismissed . The colonels ofthe 7 th and 10 th were very nearly massacred by their own men for refusing to march against the Tnileries .

    _DBSTRUCTIOS OP N 8 UILLT . The chateau of Neuilly was sacked last night and burnt to the ground . THB POST-OFFICE . Citizen Etienne Arago has been nominated by the people provisional director efthe _posfc-ofSce _, and entered oa the discharge of his functions yesterday , the 24 th , at three o'elock ia the afternoon . In spite ofthe immense difficulties of his 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 ofthe Haro of Caen , assisted him iu these dangerous and painful functions .

    IMFDETAXT IF TBtrjE . The government has declared their intention to annex Belgium to France ! The Rhine ia to be the frontier of the kingdom ! ASHSSI 0 N OF TBE _TrEPARIHESTS . News was hourly coming in from the provinces , stating their adhesion to the Republic THR MCSBUMB & _0 . All thai appertains to the direction of the fine arts and museums , and wag formerly under the control of the civil list , will constitute a division ofthe ministry of the interior . Thejury charged with the reception of pieturesat the annual exhibitiens , will be named by election . The artists will be convoked to thia effect by a decree . The exhibition of 1818 will be re-opened on the 15 th March .

    THE RAILROADS . The destruction of railway works did not end at Amiens . At Ronen , tho bridge over the Seine has been destroyed by fire . At Lille , an aqueduot and a bridge were also barnt . A t Dieppe there haa been an embargo laid on all foreign vessels .

    THE DEBTORS . On Friday the debtors' prison web thrown open , and all the prisoners were realised . On that day the city continued tranquil ; the National Guard was 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 to . the soldiers . Notices were posted through the city , authorising bakers and other yendors of provisions to deliver in their orders , signed the

    by commanders of the National Guard in the several arrondissemeats . These orders to be punctually paid hy the treasury . The provisions thus obtained v _? ere distributed amoner the armed population who were aiding the national guard in tbe charge of the capital . The inhabitants generally were _viBited in the evening and in the morning by the 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' _Armeg _donndes' were chalked .

    STATE OF PARIS ON SATURDAY . —CONSOUDATIOS OP THK _GOVEHSMEKT . PEACE OB WAS ?— _BKQLAtlO AKD

    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 and prudence . The Minister of Finance , M . _Goudchaux , has judiciously confirmed all the clerks in their employments , and this ehief branch of internal administration is working . I must tell yoa that it was only oa Monday t & o notice to pay the city taxes

    The French Revolution. Establishments 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 fond with whioh to begin . The million a month to the c _' vil list is _tlready confiscated , or , as tho ordinance has it , returned to tha people—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 , tinder the scientific direction ot tho students of the Etwle Paly technique , in such a way ns not to compromise the security against a surprise afforded by these popular fortifications . This will enable the country people to bring m provisions , of which there is an abundant supply , and

    allow the 7 _ast number of coach and cab men to resume their occupation . The law courts have resumed their Bittings—the post-office is at work—the shops are opened—every thing is doing to calm apprehension . The workmen are assured that a great plan is about being adopted for their benefit , accord * intr 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 thitty sous a day in their _pocketB . Every good _oitizen , whether in costume or not , is told that he is a National Guard . This measure , at all events , supplies a-good police , or there is an honourable esprit du corps animating this body . A man found stealing a

    silver spoon was placed on bis knees and shot on the spot . I am so exposed _^ to interruptions while I write , that I can hardly give you as cnttneotcd details as I should desire . To rejume : —The grand object is to restore confidence . Commissioners are at the railways attending to the transport of provisions . The flavre Railway has been placed by the directors at their disposal for that purpose . The Northern Railway has been much injured , but may bi restored * ! I understand , with some ordinary efforts . Tb . 6 fear had seized the people that thia railway might be used for the aonveyance of troops against 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 acoept the Republic The eastern frontier is held to be covered by _Switzerland , nor ¦ are the Pyrenees _laoked 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 feeline runs . As for invasion of England , it is not thought of now ; and , indeed , 1 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 , and , by means of the railways with which Germany is intersected , throw an anny into France . Ob the other hand , great hopeB are entertained ef Italy causing a diversion . The Co » - _stitotioknel 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 ! b calculated to look well in the eyes of foreim Powers . Tou have already observed that Laraoriciere at once joined the _revolution , choosing the frontier as his post , and the frontier iB the Rhine . He has , perhaps , been pushed

    on by his brother-in-law , Thiers , who so far must be a disappointed man ; and Thiers' ambition would be to act Talleyrand to the rising Napoleon . The people count with a sort of certainty upon tho 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 tbe 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 _< vhich Paris is included . Abd-el-Kader is to be watched more closely than ever , for evident reasons , for Algiers is embarrassing . Commissioners have been sent to the five great naval posts , Brest , Cherbourg , L'Orient , Rochefort _, and Toulon .

    The ex-Miniaters are not spoken of . They were assembled , it is said ,-at the hotel of the Minister of the Interior when the news of the King ' s abdication was brought in . They then all fled by back doors . There was an attempt on the part of criminals confined in the different gaols to escape , but they are well watched over , and the public _traaquilliaed 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 rooming that the King _s beloved retirement at Neuilly has been burnt , The bridge at _Asnieres _, over which pas 3 the Versailles , St Germain , and Rouen trains , has , I am assured , been cut . The fortress of Mont Valerian , that great stronghold , which stood at an equal distance between St Cloud and Neuilly , and commanded the Bois de Boulogne , surrendered after a resistance ef five hours . All the forts detaches and fortresses round Paris are ia the hands of the Republic . And where was Bugeaud—the merciless oven-heater oi the Dahra—the man whose name alone was to have made the hearts ofthe 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 restoriug confidence and order . They say , one more such 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 inBtcadof the red , to which , however , some yet adhere . I met a procession just now , which , I understand , is that of gome 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 , & c . ( 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 that all parties thero aro perfectly satisfied with the march of events . There was great apprehension for this day ; bnt 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 bas been proclaimed .

    The provisional government is said to be unanimous in its decisions , and to have every expectation tbat if the accounts continue as favourable as they are to-day , that order will be restored throughout the country . The fort of 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 earicatnres against Louis Philippe in all the print shops of Paris . They have 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 Invalides Civiles . ' Great numbers of the shops of Paris are open today . Tbe 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 eomers without fee or retribution , leaving the reward to the generosity of the citizen who is so supplied . I need scarcely say tbat such a mode of carrying on the trade was not a losing one , as it might not have been a safe thing to offer for tho distinctive mark of the Republic anything less than at least a piece of silver coin . Tho 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 but red ribbons in

    , wore nothing their caps and _bonnetv ; and if tbe humour had continued , there is no doubt that red 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 , ho said , the French arms had been so often led to victory ; and , in consequence of his declaration t © that eft ' _eat , the tide turned this morning , to the great delight of _persons who had been selling the red ribbons , and who now commenced a new and very active trade in the three colour ? . At the Passage de 1 ' Opera , a complete row took place between the favourers of the red colour alone and those who saw no reason for giving up the triple sigh . « Why change , said the latter party , * that which has beea so glorious

    The French Revolution. Establishments A ...

    for UB ? Why adopt the old type of the first revolution , which is only a sign of blood V * No , ' cried tho adverse party , ' wo must have tho _repttbliqw 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 ADMIRABLE OOMDUCT OF THE PEOPLE . ( From the correspondent of the Telegraph . ) I am moat happy to be able to convey to yeu the gratifying _intelligenee that the people , though now in allthe flush and intoxication of a glorious victory are acting ia a most admirable manner , and displaying a most admirable _spirit . Nothing , I assure you , can surpass the moderation and propriety of their behaviour . Though tho streets are filled vrith an immense multitude , two-thirds ac least of whom are armed with muskets , swords , daggers , hatchets , or

    weapons ofsome kind , there is no fighting , no disturbance . Though the cellars of the Palace were broken into , and wine and liquors poured forth like water , I do not think I have seen twenty drunken men , and yet I have been everywhere—in all parts ofthe city . The civility of the people is extraordinarily croat ; and the men who aro appointed to protect the barricades are politeness itself . Last night , for instance , in going 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 mest part working men in blue _amook frocks—helped me over ; and- at others , when two persons happened to arrive together at the only practicable spot for passing , one invariably made way for the other to go first .

    FR ATEBNirr with- ail wawokb . As to the spirit ofthepeoplo ( < 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 palaoe ; ahd though they were then agitated by tho report ( happily unfounded ) that the artillery was coming from Vincennes to attack them ; I found about a dozen working _msn _, 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 , ' nothing that is unreasonable ; we demand work , and wo demand to be fairly paid for it ; we demand to enjoy reasonable liberty , and to be relieved from the burden of supporting a multitude of useless placeholders ; we demand to be governed by honest meB , not by thieves ( voleurs _, by the way , has for some time past been the epithet applied by the populace to the members ofthe government and publio placeholders , on acooutit ofthe numerous cases of corruption recently _brought to light ;) finally , we demand to live ss brethren , for brethren we are , and we demand to be at peaoe and in fraternity with all nation ? . " Then , '

    said I to one of the men—a very intelligent fellow , ' you think the people are not disposed to go to war V War , ' 8 aidhe , 'God forbid!— lafraternlle , lafra ternile , is our motto . ' Another little example . Having , last night , made some observation to a sentinel , who helped mo to get orer one of the barricades ; he said , '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 on the evening bef are , 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 , ¦ Viventles Anglais . Nous aimons les Anglais . '

    But what you will perhaps think of more importance , as showing the disposition of the people tabs 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 principles on which the new government ought to act . _Boulobke , Sunday , half-past one , p . m . —Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte , his secretary , and Count Alfred d'Orsay , left here this morning for Paris ,

    RIOTS AT RO 0 SN . Rouen , Friday 10 p . m . —The three o ' clock train from Paris arrived at ten _e _' clock this night . The populace attacked the terminus on the left bank—Faubourg St Sever , and bad broken all the windows _. One ofthe arches of the Eauplefc bridge , whioh ( 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 npw all in flames . Never was more imminent danger impending , and as providentially escaped . All the passengers then g » t 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 140 troop 3 of the line arrived at Amiens en route for Paris . The populace were in a state of fury at this news , and declared that these troops should not proceed to the capital and swell the tide ef blood there . The mayor of the town , declared that it would be against all Jaw te detain thera , and , therefore , ordered the railway effioialsto convey them to their destination . When this order became known the people were furious—tore up the rails , overturned the carriages , > nd put the engine fire out , so that at present communication with Paris , per railroad , is stopped . in of

    At 3 o'clock , the town bein _^ a state dangerous excitement , the ehief inhabitatit 9 oL Amiens formed themselves into a _provisionary 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 of the town shall have been secured . In their proclamation , the commission guarantee the retention of all troops who may arrive in the town .

    mULOGKE . —PROCLAMATION op the 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 ou authority . The town is perfectly quiet , and the principal topic ef discussion is , who are they to elect as their deputy to the new chambers .

    REPORTED ARRIVAL OP L 0 UI _8-PHIJJFP 2 IN BRUSSELS . Brussels , Saturday , February 26 th . —It would be almost impossible to describe the excitement produced in this capital by the intelligence that tbe 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 Paris . The offices " of the leading journals ( particularly of the Ehakcipatetjb . ) were crowded night arid 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-exeiting topio oftheday . 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 down several streets 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 ' elock this morning , a gentleman residing in the Montagne de la 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 whioh it was asserted in the most positive manner that 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 precautions on a large scale , not only for tho preservation of order , but also for the preservation of the Belgian territory .

    ARRIVAL OF _inE DUKE DE NEMOURS IN LONDON . The JJuke 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 Count deJarnac ( the French minister . ) The duke was accompanied from Parts by ono of his cbildrep _, the Duke Augnste ofSaxe Coburgand his Duchess ( nee Princess Clementine ) with their three children , and a physician . The duke , on his arrival at Hertford Ilouse , seemed greatly dejected , ns he was suffering from excessive _fatiwue ; and from their escape from the French capital having been the act of a moment , no luggage was brought , po that , in fact , none of them possess a change of garments _.

    The Countess de Jarnac , tho Count Louis de Noailles , and M . de _Rabaudv 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 hia arrii yal at the embassy by their Royal Highnesses tho Duke and Duchess of _Saxc-Coburg , and his Royal Highness Prince Albert , at ended by Baron _Fritsch _andLieutenant-Colonel Wilde .

    POLITICAL EXILES—MANIFESTO . Monday . —The greatest excitement ' prevails among tho Frenoh resident in London . At the various French hotels and coffee-houses in _Leieester-square and the neighbeurhood , the all-absorbing topic of conversation bas been the recent events in Paris . On Friday and Saturday especially , as the news arrived by ' piecemeal of tho abdication of Louis Philippe , several rUnions were held , and the most enthusiastic feelings displayed for the revolutionary cause . On Saturday many Frenohmen carried their enthusiasm so far , as to attach tri-coloured ribbons to their button-holes , and were to „ be seen in the streets wearing this favour . Several of the political exiles i have alread y gone back to France , amongst the num-1

    ber Dr _Berrier Fontaine , who , for many years past , has been practising as a physician in Foley-placo , andM . _Gainard , now appointed _Chefd'Etat Majeur of the National Guard . Both these gentlemen were , with Marra 8 t , Cavaignac , and others , members ofthe committee of the _Socieib de Droit del'Homme , and , it will be remembered , were convicted and imprisoned in 1832 , for conspiring to dethrone Louis Philippe , and to restore the republican form of government .

    THE EX-ROYAL FAMILY OS" PRANCE . We take the following from Tuesday ' s Times : — '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 whioh have reached London from Paris do not give with any degree of accuracy the movements of tho Royal family afterthe final outbreak on Thursday , wbich 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 the utmost reliance may be placed on the authenticity ot the various facts related , the detail itself will be found to explain in a great measure tho 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 Buke 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 _Brof-lie 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 ofthe 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 bo used on the people . The Duke de Nemours yielded to their solicitation , and not a shot was fired . As the mob rapidly _increased , however , the king was advised to leave the palace , a step which hia Majesty at length reluctantly consented to adopts . With the king departed her Majesty the Queen , the _Duohess de Nemours , and three of her children ; the Duke and Duchess Auguste of Saxe-Coburg , with their youthful family , and the Duohess do Montpensier . The Duke de Montpensier left at the some time in command of a Bmall escort , which accompanied the Royal fugitives on their road to Dreux .

    After the departure of the Royal family , the mob pressed onwards in the direction ef 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 Dake 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 theo , learning that the Duchess 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 thedisoussion on the question of accepting the Count de Paris as King was at that time proceeding in a very _satisfy ctory manner . During _thedigcussinn 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 , flags , and banners , and uttering the mast discordant and frightful imprecations . Tne Duke de Nemours had at this moment hold of the Count de Paris ' s hand , the Duchess _d'Orleans leading her second son , the Duke de _Chartres . So frightful waa the rush of the mob

    that both the yonng prinees were separated from their protectors , and it was with extreme difficulty that the Duke de Chartres was recovered , he having beea 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 de Nemours left Paris directly , and on the road to Boulogne fell in with his Royal relatives , the Duke and _DuoheBS Augustus of Saxe Coburg _, with whom his Royal Highness crossed the Channel on Sunday . With regard to the progress of the other members efthe Royal family the following is all that is known : —It appears after leaving Paris it was found the revolutionary feeling prevailing in all the principal towns was such aa to render it exceedingly impolitic for the Royal family to travel together , _a-. d it was accordingly arranged that they should separate at such intervals as might insure the probability ofa 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 Duchess 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 of the Royal family , are from Dreux , on the mad 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 members of the Royal Family , we return to the French Embassy m London , where on Sunday evening the Duke dc 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-p _» 9 t ten o ' clock yesterday rrorning her Royal Highness the _Duches 3 of Kent arrived at the Embassy , and had a long interview with the Duke de Nemours and his Royal relatives . Whilst the Duchess wa 3 at the Embassy the reign _, ing Duchess oi Saxe Coburg arrived from Buckingham Palace to pay a visit to their Royal Highnesses . It is _understood that tho object of the visit both of the Duchess of Kent and the Duchess of Saxe Coburg was to express her Majesty the Queen ' s desire that their RoyeJ , Highnesses the Duke , and Duchess Augustus of _£ axc Coburg should make Buckingham Palace their home during their stay in this country . _Athalf-post eleven o ' clock their Royal _Hiuhuesses the Duke de Nemours and the Duke ami Duchess

    Augustus of Saxe Coburg left the Embassy in Count J » rnac ' s carriage , and proceeded to Buckingham Palace to psy 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 and the three children of the Duke nnd Duchess Augustus of Saxe Coburg were subsequently conveyed

    Paris , Saturday Evehing . —A decree of the Minister of Justice has appointed M . Auguste Portali ? , Attorney General of the Court of Appeal at Paris ; M . Come , ditto at Douai ; M . St Rename , ditto at Grenoble ; and M , Pieron , ditto , at Douai . M . Goudchaux , the new Minister of Finance , had cob firmed in tbeir offices all the functionaries of that department . M . Carnot . Minister of Public Instruction , addressed the following circular to the rectors of the University : —

    Tho pupils of the establishments of the University must feel a with to join in tbe signal manifestations of joy aad hope with which all France greets at this moment the proclamation of the republic . By tbe very nature of tbeir studies they are all fully prepared to appreciate the grandeur of the revolution made by tho country in hoisting again the republican banner . Tou will 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 of the downfall of Royalty , and tbe proclamation of the republic , which had been ooncealed from them . The young men of the schoel , to the number of 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 was proclaimed in his department and received with the liveliest enthusiasm . The following telegraphic dbspatchbs ef the 25 th inst . had been received : — The Republic bas been proclaimed at Dijon . Bordeaux enjoys the greatest tranquillity . At Tours , Rouen , aud other cities , departmental and district commissions are appointed for the establishment : of tbe Republican _gorernmeat _. 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 , of the Court of Cassation , and other judiciary bodies , had likewise offered their cooperation to the new government . Prempt and energetic _measuros had been adopted for the preservation of the munitions of war deposited in the Military School and at Vincennes . The detached forts had been occupied by the rural Nationnl Guards , and nobody was allowed to enter them . 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 near Dreux .

    The excitement continues , but has taken a more favourable turn . The measures of the provisional government are producing vast extent . This morning the red riband was universal . The _tri-colour of the first revolution has replaced it . The Communista were said to intend attacking the government . They are now stated to have ' adhered' to it , but maintaining a watehingattitude . The chalking on the walls ' Plus de Bourbons' haB given place to 'Plus de _Royaute . ' The Union MoNARcniqrjE newspaper haa dropped the second word of its title . All' Royal arms , ' or other emblems ef Royalty , have been taken down or defaced . Still there are people who take it iato their heads that the Count de Paris or the Duke de Bordeaux have a chance 1 Prince Louis Napoleon ' s name begins to bs mentioned , and I have heard one cry of ' Vive I'Bmpereur !'

    20 , 000 of the 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 _sinking the Marseillaise . Regiments of the line are arriving in Paris to replace those wbich had been dhbanded . I lament to add that , besides the Chateaux of Neuilly and St Cloud , the bridge over the Seine at Amiens haa bsen burnt . The Mositkur , of Saturday , which has assumed new official functions , _publishes the following decrees and announcements by the provisional government :
