      Report Of Thfc Dt.Legation To I Paris. I...

      REPORT OF _THfc Dt . LEGATION TO i PARIS . IAlerly—Equality—Fraternity . The Executive Committee of the National Charter Association having appointed Phili p M'Grath , theChartistsof London Ernest Jones , and the Fraternal Democrats Julian Harney ' to bear their congratulatory address to the Provisional Government , the Delegation on reaching Paris , at once put themselves in communication with the authorities , and proceeded to the Hotel de Ville , the seat of the government , where , after the announcement of their arrival , they were immediatel y received by the ministers .

      The Democratic Government is characterised by an absence of unmeaning display , and _^ surrounded by the love of the _neople , and the dignity of innate worth . Unlike the palaces of kings , no hired mercenaries guarded the seat of power ; the guards at the gates were working men in blouses , well-armed , and intent on protecting in thatexecutive , theembodiment ofthe popular will , and enforcing respect for the popular power . No puerile ceremony attended the audience . In an inner chamber of the civic palace stood three men , on whose countenances mig ht be seen the conscious power of mind , but who received the deputation with that unaffected courtesy that should ever characterise the intercourse of man to man ; these were Garnier-Pages , Leriru-Rollin , and Marrast .

      Ernest JoNESthen addressed ( in French ) the mernbersof theGovernment , andsaid : Citizens , we come as a deputation of the oppressed to the free ; not to ask for aid , but to express admiration . To thank j ou for showing us how nn enslaved peop le can liberate themselves ; and to tell you that the example of France is not lost upon the heart of England . We , too , have our Guizot—and we will tolerate him , no more than you have done yours . We , too , have grievances to redress , wounds to heal , and misery to solace . We , too , are determined to achieve our ri ghts ,

      and can read the p lainer b y the li ght of your revolution . We come to thank you , in the name of England and the world , and to assure you of the friendship of the British people , which will never permit its Government to ipake war en the French Republic . Should the English and French stand on the same battle-field , it will not he as foes , but side by side , to re-establish a Poland or restore an Ital y- The speaker then read a French translation ofthe address ; and the original , handsomely mounted and adorned with the tricolour , was _placed'in the hanls of Ledru-Rollin bv Julian Harnev .

      M . GAnxiER Pages , member of the Provisional Government , replied : —Citizens ! We receive with gratitude the sympathy of the English Chartists . They prove to " us that Eng land bas perfectly understood the object of our glorious revolution , and the _high mission of the Provisional Government . This mission must he peaceably accomp lished b y the movement of ideas , and we are convinced that , if the English Government should ever desire to make war on us , it would be prevented at the very instant b y the English people ; for fraternity in the interior , and fraternity among

      all nations abroad , is what must for ever sus tain the energetic men who have fought for liberty . We desire to conquer the good op inion of all nations ; we desire to invade them , with our principles and ideas ; hut we do not intend to carry them onr institutions on the point of the sword . Take care to tell the Eng lish ; Chartists that , in the Provisional Government you have found the liveliest sympathy ; tell them thatthe revolution has heen made hy the people and for them ; and that the Provisional Government , issued from

      the people only , thinks of improving the situation of all fhe people . Tell them we admire their princi p les , and respect their party ; and that from such the regeneration of society is to he expected . Observe , also , the republican sp irit ; after victory , no cries of vengeance or hate , but a generous calm , the immediate _reestablishment of order . Great and generous as much as they have been brave and courageous , the French desire to continue their undertaking with calm , hut with energy , and hail with deli g ht this expression -of English sympathy .

      The _deputation then withdrew , crying Vive la Republique ! and were escorted through the _anti-chamber b y the members of the _Provisional Government . The Government then had the Chartist Address hung over the presidential chair in the Hall of Audience—and the news having spread throug h Paris ofthe arrival and distinguished reception of the Chartist envoys , the liveliest sympathy was expressed by the people . All grades vied in their marks of friendship , and , indeed , as a signal refutation of the calumnies of the Times and other papers , the National Guards , and soldiers of the line , as

      well as the armed _^ populace , reprobated the idea of an English war , and seemed trul y to carry into practice that " fraternity " which is one great feature of the Republic ' s g lorious motto . We may exemplify this b y the words of M . Liemance , commandant of the town artillery , and one of the most active men in the late conflict—who said , that , instead of fig hting against England , he would sooner come and struggle for her liberties . In no one instance was a remark hostile to the English uttered , not even when recognised by their language , amid the dense crowds occasionall y thronging the streets , and labouring under the excitement of the recent conflict .

      It may be well here to allude to the dismissal of Eng lish servants and workmen—a perfect god send for our daily Press , who seem endeavouring to foment an enmity against the French Republic . With regard to the first , the proud aristocracy of France are wisely curtailing some of their idle splendour , and breaking up their Parisian establishments . Inthis their French servants share the fateof their English ones—dismissal . And as to the latter , it must be remembered that English working

      men have been cunningly employed by French capitalists to bring down the prices of French labour ; it would , therefore , be natural that they should , he looked on as interlopers , and those papers that invei g h against this should recollect that the English aristocracy and middle class , of which they are the organ , are as grossl y intolerant of Irish servants in their houses , and have , h y similar labour-competition tried to produce hatred between English and Irish working men .

      The delegation would feel it was not performing its duty—were it not , conjointl y with a report of its proceedings and reception , to allude to the state of Paris at the time of their visit . Everywhere peace , order , and contentment reigned . Peace—because every man had arms . Order—because the people saw . to the execution of their own laws . Contentmentbecause the sources of p lenty were not tarried by the hand of monopoly .

      The change in Paris is the great vindication of the people against their calumniators . Theft and outrage are unknown , because hunger and outrage are unknown as well . And it is an inspiring sig ht the men in blouses guardingfaithful sentinels , —the stores of wealth and the seats of industry . One sp irit seems to animate all . On the palaces of kings , oyer the doors of churches , and the monuments of war , are written those magical words that shall regenerate the world : — LIBERTY , EQUALITY , FRATERNITY 1 and , better still , on the hearts of every Frenchmen they are written , —in the every act of Government they are exemp lified .

      Nothing could read a sterner sentence on the pride of kings , and the villany of their class-governments , than the great uses to which their strongholds and their revenues , p lunderedfrom the people , are app lied . The polluted Tuileries has been ennobled—it is now an asylum for the infirm snd aged among the poor The million francs per month of the King s civil list , finds _breadifor the starving and un-

      willing idler . The wine from the cellars of Neuilly , no longer swells the orgies of the vicious , but _gpives strength to the sick in the hospitals of Paris . At the same time , property is respected , the shops are all open , and trade flourishes . Some vile speculators , who deal in misery , who gamble in a scarcity of corn , and grow rich on artificial destitution , may comp lain in their secret chambers , but their condemnation is a praise , and the tree of liberty shakes the noxious vermin from its leaves , as it feels the kiss of heaven in its branches .

      Thus freedom _prospers—thus it blesses the gallant peoplewhohave had the courage to winit . The French are taking the means to keep itthat has been neverdone till now . But , leteray British Chartist observe , that the Charter is the basis on which they have _formed . their government . Prosperity to France ! Success to her gallant sons ! for she has taught nations a g lorious lesson . May they profit b y it . Those who have ' seen the salutary efforts of popular Government in France , must feel astonishment at the ignorance , apathy , or cowardice of those ?

      who , in other lands , can allow oligarchy to rule , and misery , undesigned by God and nature , to exist . Astonishment well founded— for if France , beneath her hundred chains , could start to liberty , there was no nation on earth that need doubt of its triumph . Those , we repeat , who have seen the happ iness and peace of democratic France , must return impressed more deepl y than ever with the important duty attaching to every individual , ho w ever humble , to induce in his . own country a result as glorious ' as that achieved in France .

      Ihe Delegation , in conclusion , are happy to express their conviction that their mission has drawn closer the bonds of fraternity , uniting the poor of France with the enslaved of England . All Men are Brethren . Vive la Republique . Philip M'Grath . Ernest Jones . Julian" Harney .

      GREAT MEETING IN THE SALLE DE VALENTINO , RUE ST HONORE . A large meeting was held on Monday evening last , in the above gorgeous saloon , that , when lig hted , had the appearance of a fairy palace . The meeting was convened to take the position of Germany into consideration , and Ernest Jones was specially invited to take part in the proceedings . The " Marseillaise" was sung with a thrilling effect , and the assembled thousands greeted the appearance of the Chartist guest with rapturous cheering . Ernest Jones addressed the meeting at considerable length ,

      and , hy his eloquence , well vindicated the character of English oratory , kindling the enthusiasm of his audience . Henrigh , the great poet , presided . George Weerth , our Chartist friend , was on the platform , as were also Dr Marx and other eminent Democrats , An apology was made for the absence of _Juliitn Harney , who was confined to his room b y illness . A more enthusiastic meeting has rarely bten held , and the noble Salle de Valentino rung with cheers for the European Republic .

      Dumfries . —The late glorious news from France _engrosses almost universal attention . The moat unbounded sympathy witn the revolution _pervadtsall classes of our community—evtn ultra-monarchists rejoice in the fall ofthe tyrant ol the barrieade 3 . Oi curse the more enthusiastic of the popular party are elated fo a degreo little , if anything , below wbat might have been expected had the thing occurred at home . Thoy leek uith anxiety for some of the more important localities taking ihe initiative , _eitl 6 r in _adrir _^ _sting the provisional government or the Fiei ; ch nation , er showing in seme ether way community oi ffeiin _? with tbat noble people , and a determination to see tbat they pet fair play , tl _. at at all events our government do _^ s not interfere for tyrants , ' aristocrat _orshojocrat .

      rfcreant _Examiner , the f _peotator , and the 'Dm _¦» Nuisance , ' particularly —some such course as that hinted at is deemed essentially necessary , in order that our French brethren may not be deceived into the belief that tho people of this country look _crcn with a co _) d eye upon tbeir gallant movement to thc van of progress and ita probable consequences . It is also intended in the event of government continuing to arm the middle classes , to form a rifle company . In this , too , we wait the exampleof the mure populous districts . At a late meeting of the W . M . Association , a quarter ' s Stab was voted to Mr John Gibson , one of the Old Guard , now located in Richmond , Virginia , United States , in acknowledgment of many _c-inlribotions of American papers to onr readicg-room , and of the feelings to which we owe them .

      _Ckotdon . —At the usual gathering of the demo cracy of this place on Monday evening last , tbe following resolutions were carried unanimously : — Moved by T . Frost , _seconded by Mr Woodford ;—That we the _demecrats of Croydon , hail with pleasure the glorious movement of oar brethren in France , and viewing the cause of tbe people as the fame in all countries , we denoance as traitors to the English people all who _sjmpathiss with the deposed tyrant of France , whether they sit on thrones or foot stools . ' Moved by T . Frost , seconded by Mr Wilmot : —That we view the attempt to deprive Feargus

      O'Connor of bis feat in Parliament as dictated by the same liberticidal spirit as the suppression of the Reform Banquet in Paris , and we earnestly trust that the one attack upon tbe righ _. s of tbe peop l e will be met as _" en ? rgeticaHy as the other . ' Moved by W . . Hodges , seconded by II . Clark : — ' That _viewirig the arming of the middle classes by government with suspicion , and devmin _? it fraught with danger to the liberties ofthe people , we recommend the formation of volunteer rifle brigades , composed entirely of working men , as there can be no safety for the latter _clasa whiio they have neither vote nor arms , and the middle classes have both . '

      _Manchester—A great publio meeting was held in the Hall of Science , on the Uth ult ., to consider the _btat means to be adopted for defending Mr O'Connor s seat in Parliament , The meeting was addressed by W . P . Roberts , Esq ., the miners ' Attorney-General , who introduced Mr Parker to move tbe first resolution : — 'That this meeting views with indignation the attempt to deprive Feargua O'Connor , Esq ., o f his seat ia Parliament , and hereby pledges itself to resist by every constitutional means the nefarious project .

      pecuniary sacrifice to himself . Mr Radkin seconded the resolution , which was carried by acclamation . The meeting was next addressed by the Rev . W . Scho . field , after which Mr S . Kydd proposed the following resolution : — 'That this meeting being fully convinced tbat class legislation is the primary cause of the manifold ( _grievances that now afflict tbe working classes of England and Ireland , arc determined to continue it 3 efforts to obtain the enactment of the People s Charter as the law of the land . ' Mr Kydd delivered a masterly and soul-stirring speech , amidst reiterated cheers , andjconeluded by saying , that ' a brighter day is abont to dawn , progression rolls on--liberty is awake among the people — provinces and dynasties are swept before it—the vengeance ot the

      nations is come—and despotism sits upon arott n throne . Awake , countrymen , arouse , and follow the watch cry . The tyrant slave driver—the haughty and cruel ruler cringe before the voice of the people now recognised as the voice of God . God save tbe Queen is a phrase seldom heard—God save the aristocracy still less bo— -God save the Church a mere mouthful of canting hypocrisy—but God save the people is a re-issuing of the fiat of Heaven—which must come to pass . Tha rights of life are more valuable than the rights of property—come it will , come it must , such is the will ot God — such is the proud destiny yet in store for ill-used and toiling men .
