    EFFECT OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION J _& GERMANY . ILLNESS 'OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA .. From _BerSn , under dato of Feb . 29 , we learn that a courier ' fr < m St _Petersburg . arrived that day at the Russian embassy . The contents , of his des patches were immediately coram ifnie ' atcuV to th _^ court-, "where they mado a very profound impressi- n It _^ as asserted that the courrier brought tho intelligence of the serious illness of the Emjeror of Russia . Prussia is _matins ; extraordinary _militaryprcparations . The _Piussiin Diet is about ; to be ' convoked immediately . The _G-nminic Diet published on tbe 1 st instant a _hroclamation in which all _Germans are exhort , d to be _uniti d ; and measures , it ia said , will b * tahen to fiescrvc peace at home , and ihe Confederation from

    invasion . Advices fram Vienna of the 2 / : h announce _aststo of ereat _a-fita'ion , produced as much by the ne ws from Italy and _th _^ financial _embarrassments of government _, as by ih- * news from _France . Tho _CarlsuvJrf . _Gazett-s of the 2 nd says that petitions had _betn laid betore the chamber demanding the creneral arming of the people for the ft _liowinK _nbiec ' _s : The free election of officers ; a Germpn parliament , _freelv elecied hy thepe » p _' _e-, every Inrrn :. n wbo has attained his _iwcrtr _S _^ t venr to be an elector ; one elector for _t-vPty tboufavd _^ ul _? , ar , U ono depntv for evcrv 100 COO ; < very German who has attained his twentt-fifth yar _, « _'f whatever _rsnK _, _tf . rtnne , or relieion , c-tn bi-onie a member ot parliament ; the German _parliament to ie held at _Frankfort-on-the-Maine ; the _parliament to make its _osn _resuktions ; absolute liberty of tbe press ; com .

In the afternoon , aftrr thc sitting ofthe chamber , an _immenselcrowd _n-paircd to the _c'stle . which _vrss guarded , as a measure of precaution . S _; me voices were _h- _'ard to demand a political amnesty , and to request that the _persons taken into custody on the eve should be set at li'M rtv . Fivo of these persons were set free . Several deputies of the _Opposition requested the _cr-iifd to _withdraw , a lequest which they complied with . Patrols ef cavalry went _ronnd the city in the _evenfns . The avenues to tbe Town-hail and tho uris _^ n w ere snardfd hv ihe military .

    The Cologxb Gjiz ? . tte of the 3 rd says : —Ihe _"Biden _goveinraent have announced the abolition of tip _censorship , tbe establishment of a civic guard , and the _int'oduefmn of thejury system .

    FOREIGN POLICY OF T 3 E REPUBLIC . M . Lamartine , the Foreign Minister , has _issued the following manifesto to ihe diplomatic agents ot the _"Re-niblic : — 'Sir , —r _<> _u _ftnoir ( he events of _Pt-ris ; tbe victory of _th-i _piople , their heroism , moderation , and _tronqaillisatinn , and the restoration of order by the co-operation of aH the _clt _' _sene . as if . in that _iniirrpgnutn of tho visible pqwers , general reason was alone the government of _France . The French Revolution has thus entered _upen its de

    finitive period . Prance is a R- public ; tbe French Republic does not _Trqu ' re to be _rreosnised in order to eiist . It rests on natural and national rk'ht . It ii the wish of a great people lullj _rniiilcd to judge for thimselre * . > _K"c-vertbeIe = s , theFrmcb It public dffiring to enter into t _* _ie _lemily of istnbliehed governments as a re ; ul : r power , and not as a _t-henoraenon dertrudive of _Sarypean ordc _" , it is expedient that yon promptly make known to the _poverntntnt to which yeu are accredited the principles nni tendencies which will in future direct ¦ be e _^ tern-. l policy of the Fr _^ nctt government .

    Th- ; proclamation of the French _Rof-oblic is not an BCt of aggression _acninst any f _> rm of government in the world . The forms of _srovernment _Inve divereitits as _lreiiimate as thc _diversitieH > -f chatacter _, of _gpogrsphical ¦ situation , and _iatellectual , moral , anrf material _oevelopmentamo _' . _g nations .

    destroys itself by _anfccipvit g the hour cf that maturity , as it _oishonncrs 5 tS £ -lf by . tiff- r tip ; it ! 0 escape vtithout seizi-. i _? it . Monarchy and R .

War is not _necorriingly tbe _principle ofthe Fr : noh It _^ pnblic as in 1702 . _vs-hen it became its _f-itai and _glorions necessi ty _^ . _Hslf a _C'ntury sep _^ rKtis 1792 from 1818 .

    If tbe _Mtuation of tbeFr _. nch _RcpuM _. c in 1792 eccour . _te-i for 'he nece Mty of war , the _difievnecs _-.-xisring between that period of our history und the prestnt _.-poeh account for thr- necessity of pence . You must apply tonrselftn _tinderstand those difftrences and explain them _nr- ' _. und yon , Tn 1702 the nation was _Tiotnnited . Two nations existed in the Bame soil . A terrible struggl _e was continued between _theelnsses deprived of their privileges and the classes which had jn _« conquered < quality and liberty .

    In 1732 it was net the entire _people _irho bad taken ¦ possession ofthe government ; it was ihe middle class alone _vchrt wished to exercise liberty and erjoy ic . Tbe triumph of she middle _dsfses then was fgotistic . il , like the triumph of oligarchy . It wished to monopolise the rights conquered by all . To-that effect it was necessary _» o np . ffl . oa i . «« _trial diversion _apathst the Advent of the people , by urging them towards the field of batt ' e , in order to prevent them from having a share in their _OK-n government . That diversion was war . War was desired by the Monarchists and the Girondins ; it was not desired by the _niora _advanced democrat-. , vfho w .

    Iff . _1732 the people wero but the instrument * of the revolution , and notit » object . _To-dsy the _reroiufit-a was effected by them and for them . The people and she _revelation are identical . By entering it , thry _introdaced-intoit their new wants of labour , industry , instruction , agriculture , commerce , morality , _wciftr-- , propfrty , 'eheap living , navigation , civilisation , in finp , which are all wants of peace !

    Effect Of The French Revolution J& Germa...

    th m to our tights and honour if they si ouU be misuc derstood . The Fr _.-nch republic , ther , will not commence War with any state wlvuevtr , It need not nay that it will accept war if conditions of war are offere d to the French . The sentiments _< ef the mea who now govern France are these-France ' will be happy if war ho declared _aitUnst h _« r , _aeff if she "ba thus forced , in sp _i-e of hnr modi ration , ta increase- in power ncdelory . _Terrible would be however , the' responsibility of Frans _, & , _it-threpablic itself declare' war « _iihrmt any _prorogation .

    Such is the feeling of the nym who at this moment govein France . In the first case , her _nxiwial gewu « , her impatience for action , her strength ( sccnmulated during so inanv years of peace ) , would ren der her invincible at hom _* . sod _perhaps _wrioubtablo bejond Y ' _-r frontier * _^ In the second ease , she would turh ag . -. in « t her fe remembvauce of her conquests which ' _indisposes _oth--r na . tions towards her , and she would compromise lierntBsnd most universal alliance , which is the sp irit and goodwill of surrounding nations and the genius of _civilisa-ion .

    According to these principles , sir , which are those of conl and . _delfb' _-rate Frnnec—princi p les which she _jan avow without fear ns without _defiance to her friend * enem * es—you will plea c e to imiir" _? s _yourself with the sub _* tanco of the _following d c ' aration « : — The tr _aties of 1 S 15 ne longer _lcinlly _exiit in tho eyes of the French R public , but the territoria' limits fited ¦ _by-tho-Je treaties are facts wbich it admitB _« the basis of , and tin s _' . _arting point in , her _rfMions with other nations . Bu if th . ' . treaties of ISIo no _lonser eii < t exeept as facts to b- modified by _co-nmon accord , and if the Repablic _op-nly declares thnt her right and mission are to arrive regularly snd _pscifically nt those _mo'ifications . vhe good sense , the moderation , the consciousness , the _P'udenre of the Republic exist , and are tor _Euroj o a hett' r and more honourable _guirantee than the letters of those treaties so often violated or modified by Europe

    Apply yourself , sir , to _mako tho'o with whom you have relation to understand r _. nd admit with Rood faith tW -he _emancipation of the RcpuU e from ihe treaties of 1815 is _reconcileublo witt . the _reposs of Europe . For _thesoreasons we declare loudly , that if the hour for ther-construct ! n of some oppressed nations in Europe or _tlsost-h ' _- _'ps should appear to have arrived according to the decrees of _Providence—if Switzerland our faithful r . Hy since the time of F .-anci 9 I , should bo constrained er menaced in the movement of progress whieh it is accomplishing at home to lend additional strength to tbe _unicn of D _.-mocratio Governments—if the independent states of It » ly _sh-uld be invaded-if limits or _ob'tncleR should be imposed on their internal tran-formationR- —if their right lo form an alliance amongst themselves to con ? o'ida'e an Italian nation should be contested by force of arms , the French Republic would believe itself justified in _arminglto protect flusc legitimate movements for the _advancement and the nationalilv of states .

    The RepuMie . you perceive , has _traversed the first step in fie era of proscriptions and dictatorships . It is determined never to covu- h . berty at home with a veil . It is _eqiia'ly determined never to veil its democratic principle abroad It will not suf _**; r tbe hand of an _jbody to be- interposed between the pacific rnys of its 'forty and the regard of nations . I t proclaims itself the intellectual and cordial oily of all rights , of oil _progress , of every _legitimati- development of the institutions of thoso nations who wish to live according to thn principle which _uoverns it . It will not pursue a _ennrse of _serrrt

    or incendiary _propaganda _amonpst its neighbours . It IS conscious that there are no liberties durable exc _.-pt those w ' nich _originate in theirown soil ; but it will _exercisn by tke light of its _ideap , by the spectacle of ordir and of _peac . * , which it i meets to give to the world , thc only and honour . hie _proseljtlsro—the prosely t ' sm of eat . em and sympathy . Suoh is not war ; i : is nature . It is not _^ the niiiation of Europe ; it is the _lif--. Such a eours-i is not to cause a conflagration _throughont the world ; it is to shine from its place on the horiz n of _n-uions , andat the same lime to _antlcipita them nnd to euido them .

    We desire , for the sake of humanity , that p _? aca may bepreserved . We even expect that it may he so , A _mb-. 'I- ' -case of war was raijed a year lincebntweon France and England . It was not Republican France which raised that qaestion ; it wns the djn-asty . The dynasty _tarrias with U that _danger of war for Eaiope which it had excited through the purely personal ambition of it * family alliances in Spain . Thus this domes _, tic policy of the fallen dynasty , v . hieh Iny as a dead weight da-ing _sc-vent-en years en our national dik-uity , was an obstacle at the same timo to our liberal alliances and to peace , in consequence of its pretentions to an additional Crown at Hadrid . Tbe Republic has no ambition _. The _Repnt-lle has _Ronepo-. i . m to gratify . It iu . hcritsno family pretentions . _Ltt Spurn govern itself . _Ltt Spain bo _indi-pendentand fr _. 'p . France relies more for the _con-olidation of this natural allinnce on the _crinformity of principles than on the successions of tbubouse of Bourbon ,

    Such , sir . is the spirit of the rounds of tbe Re public . Such wi'I invsriably be the _cbnnieterof the candid , firm , and moderate policy _nhich you will hava to represent . The Republic has pronounced at its b ' rth _, and in the mid-: t of th . * _excitemmt of a con'est cot provoked by Ibe people , three wor _^ s which _hav- ; revealed lis soul , nnd which call down nn its cradle the benedictions of God asd cf mm—Liberty , tquality . frati rnity . It has givi n on the day followipg . by the abolition ef the punishment of d-nth for political _ofia-nces _, the true commentary on those three worJs as regards its demestic policy ;

    _eive them likewise their true commentary abroad . The meaning of those three words applied to our foreign relations is as fo'lows—the emancipation of France from the chains which fettered her principle and her dignity —the _recav . ry of the rank which she ought to occupy amongst the great European powers—in fiae , the declaration of alliance and friendship amongst all nation _) . If France ha conscious of her part in the liberal and ci 7 i'isin ? mission of the age , there is not one of those words which signify war . If Europe be prudent and just , there is not one of those words which docs not signify peace .

    corps diplomatique will be chan _f _fed . The Duke d'Harcourt , or Citoyen _d'llaroourt , as he is now called , will go as ambassador to London . Ic is said that the Citoyen de Boijsy ( late _Marqais ) will eo as _ambissador to Rome , and General Thiard to Rome . Twelve thousand _five-franc pieces , bearing the mme and emblem of the Republic , will be issued from the mint to day . As a specimen of the principles of commercial communism which tho revolution iB rapidlv establishing , oar _correspondent translates from La _Prkssb a document , by which tho proprietors of that journal _nnnfiunra their adoption ofthe principle of allowing al ! pgrspns they employ to share in comrann with themselvea . the profits of the property . This has alreadj .. been done by the directors of the Great Northeu r Railway ,

    'There is . ' he adds ; . ' anothor feature hv which this revolution is contrasted with that of 1789 . and distinguished from , if hot opposed to , that of 1830 The people , reputed _scpptics and _scoifcrc , have p ]» ced tbe revolution of 1848 under the safeguard of the altar . In the suck of the palaces , the chapels and _thd orator ' ei were he'd inviolable . A crucifix picked from the floor of a bpdronm _, waB borne with reverence to the Church of St Roch _, and the crowd of _insurgeuts as they deposited it in the temple acknowledged on their Upees the divinity ot the Saviour . ' The provisional government have publicly called on the clergy of aUnVnominations to invoke thc benediction of the most hi » h on the French people , and to pray for the _enlightenment of that assembly in whose hands the future destinies of France are about to be placed . Bv a decree of the _provisional government of the 5 th inst , _Alteria and the Colonies are to return 15 members to the Constituent Assembly .

    With tho exception ofthe continued strike of tho omnibus drivers and conductors , _everything was quiet and _or- _' erly in Paris . Tlicex _' raordinary _naicly with which Shrovetide was formerly celebrated in the French capital was , however , sadly _o-mtrasted by the almost complete absence of masks in the streets and BouVvarda on Sunday . The Carnival had for _snme years been _goine out of _fashion ; the late revolution bad _suijees ' ed serious r _. _fl'Ctions , and tho _wea'her had become most unfavourable—circumstance" which were held to account fer the comparative _tristesse nf Sunday ; but it was b -lieved that this da j—always tbe grand day of the Carniv . il—would p roduce thc fat ox ( _-i-ho is this year named Duehatel ) witb a ! l tbe pomp nf former time . * Generally speaking , ' says one of our letters , ' the revo ution has for tbe moment injured Paris . ' The English have already left , in great numbers , nor has the panic yet snbsid . _d-

    The proprietors of _houses and hotels , ofthe restaurants and cafes , and , in fact , all who lived upon the expenses of foreigners in the capital , are nearly in despair . They hope , _however , _tfeat the formal recognition of the revolution by Great Britain , the moment thst ils _goucrnment shall havo been installed . will _ recall the former _British residents of Paris , and rave an example to other foreigners to resume their residence in the capital . Tha people , who hud until then retained possession

    of the chateau ofthe Tuilerios , finally Jet it iast Saturday . Never in . this _wirld was a house or palace more _comnle'ely _cntted than this . ' Not even a pair oflace cuffs ' said a ' » _dv who saw it the day after the revolution , ' escap ' d . ' Furniture , ornaments _, curtains , clothing , arid carriages , were all conveyed into the court-yard or the streets , ar . d pitilessly burnt . The apartments ofthe Duohess of Orleans and of the Dacheas of Nemours in the . Pavilion Mars / in , should , however , bo mentioned as having been comparatively respected .

    The _Mr-NiTEHR Algerirn of the 29 sh ult , publishes three orders of the day , sicned by the D . ike _d'Auniale , informing ; tho population and array of ( he events that had occurred in Paris d & wnto tho evenins of the 24 th , with the _excoption only of the _prochima'ion of the republic , which was not known at that date . M . Lamartine ' _a manifesto constituted the _thema for _peneral comment by t _. _rje Parisian prebB , and on its fir .-t _appearance is said to have excited a general apprehension that the French would _inforfere with other _countries TheoorreBpor _. d . nt of the Times ,

    writin _; : on Monday , says , however , that the feeling of apprehension , founded on the manifesto of M Lamartine , which prevailed so generally that morning , had in some _decree subsided . Either tho minister h _; ul given verbal explanations and assurances that bad removed all fears that the provisional government meant fo push the propaganda , or more mature consideration of his manifesto had dissipated the fears conceived on its first npr . earan « c , fo- the impression had become genera ) that th' ! French ( _provisional ) government desired peace- before ail things .

    This improved condition of __ the pumic mind and its tendency to restore confidence aras , however , qualified by the resignation of M . Godechht-. x , minister of finance , who is succeeded by M . Garnier Paces . ' This serious event was ! brought about in this way , ' says our correspondent : — 'M . Godechaux , st whose instance the prop : sed abolition ofthe stenij : duty on newspapers hsd been _suspended , became displeased when tho measure was ordered to take ils course . He said to his colleagues , ' You have _announced your intention to _anticipate the date v . whicii the interest on the _pub'ic debt _beciraes payable , and yon have _f-therwise unnecessarily

    undertaken obligations of immense amount , and here yo <; take from me the stump duty on newspapers ! What _security bave I that I shall not be similarly deprived of other resources ? ' M . Godechaux then tendered his resignation . . He wns , however , afterwards _prevnile 1 upon to resume his functions , and would have gone on with the business ofthe finanCH department had not the astounding in'eltigenco reached him that the banking-house of MM . _"Gouin and Co ., formerly that of Jacques Lafitte and Co ., had stopped pay ment . Ue _thereupon rfisigncd office definitively . The creditors of the . _banking- ' _ioiise ( of Gouin and Co . ) would , it was said , _ultimately be paid in full , nnd the rharcholders in the _CaisBe Gouin , ci-devant _Caisse Laffitte , would , it is said , be heavy losers

    Several deputations of workmen of different trades ¦ waited on Sunday on the Government atthe Hotel de Villo . to make known their grievances . Among them _wasone ofthe calico printer ? , who presented an address in which they stated that wbat they had to complain of was not excess of _werk , but want of work , nnd that want , they said , was owing' to machines , which , however , they _asserted they did not desire to see destroyed . They intimated that _; in increase in the exports wonld _nfford them relief . M . Cremieux replied by _assurinu them thatthe government would be their devoted friends . About three

    thousand young men , employed in the mercers and linen _drapers' shops , waited on the deputy mayor of Paris , to demand tho _organiflatiou of labour . The deputy mayor promised to submit their demand to the Government . A deputation of the pupils of the colleges of Paris waited on M . de Lamartine , to present their * _hfrmage , and give expreBuon to their hope ? , _confidence , and _devotednesa . M . de Lamartine received them kindly , and made a speech ; •" which he thanked them for their _~« uUeStation , and expressed his warm . - _^ _- _^ hy for hu young hearer . ' ' . . , ' ,. .... there

    Oo _-ontiirday evening was a numerous meeting of hotel keepers at tho Salle de la Redoute , in the Rue Grenelle Saint . Honore , to take into consideration a _proposition fer an application to the provisional Government for relief in the present crisis . The chairman of the meetine , after alluding to tho rents paid for hotels , which he said were so high as to have left the tenants scarcely a chance of honourable existence i ven in prosperous _timea , but whicii would now cause thc utter ruin of such as have leases if no reduction be made , recommended that the government should he _petitioned to issue a decree preventing the landlords from claiming at the _prcscntmoment more than _ba _' _-f their rents , and that the National Assembly should be subsequently applied to for a law _recnlating tbe position of landlord nnd tenant on bases of just ice and i qu ' ity , according to the new circumstances created by the revolution . A motion to this effect was put

    and carried with only one _dissentient _voise . It was then proposed that the ' shnpkeepers of Paris generally who have leases should bo invited tojoin in the ma ' - nifestation , and notice was given for a general meeting at the Salle Valentine yesterday , at twelve o ' clock . _Notwithstanding the shortness of the notice , nearly 2 , 000 tradesmen assembled , and adopted unanimously the resolutions of which the hotel keepers had assumed the initiative . A _delegate from each trade was appointed to co-operate with the chairman in the measures to bo _pursued , ' and the meeting then broke up . It was stited that the number of _shopkeepers in Paris is forty thousand , of whnm two-third 9 are supposed to hold leases . On Saturday evening a deputation of the persons ¦ who were wonhded in the three days , waited on the provisional government , and were ieceived by M . Paguerre , the Secretary General . __ M . Chateau Rcnaud , who presented the deputation , made a brief speech , to which M . Paguerre replied : —

    Citizens , you have fought for liberty : but , more fortunate than your brethren , whoso _aahes ne havo just honoured , you enjoy the lv . cultof your efforts—you have the Republic for which they gloriously fought . You will for the future live under laws which yeu will voto _your-Bolven , for aU of you , citiz _» ns , will be called on to express your will , the will of the country . There tiro no inoro persons privileged ; all oit _^ ens have the _sxine rights ; and there is only one sovereignty , the sovereignty of the peop le ; Citizens , you have new duties to fulfil—after _having obtained liberty you must preserve it , you must constitute tho Republic . What your courage commenced , your _wisdom will accomplish . The Republic is not like the monarchy—it is not ungrateful , and will know how to roward services roudcred . ( Bravo ) Tours are immense , aud I can say at present , that the provisional government is _preparing a commission , which will _lucaribfl _Ibem _irace records of the _natfrnnl gratitude _l-

    Cries of Bravo 1 Vive la Republique ! ' followed this speech , A PoK who formed part of the _deputation , demanded that France should not forget Poland , whose children had _fon ' _Rht for her .

    ' _ue Republic . As the deputation was ahout to withdraw , M _Paguerre sueeested that the proper p ! . * . c > _- lor their banners was the Hotel de Ville . The deputation immedt ' . _itoly consented to _lrane theiu in the hotel . The general commanding the National Guard assured the _deputatimi that the fligs would be in _perfect safety , and that , to take them from the Hotel do Ville , it wi . uld bo first necessary to _oruab the provisional government . A dinner was given to the deputation by the commandant of the Hotel , and when it concluded , they broke up with cries of * Vive la _Republique !' The scheduloannexod to tbe decree convening the National ArEerably gives tbe number of represenfa lives to be chosen-in each department , there being _oiip _reC'i-esentative for every 4 f 3 , 000 inhabitants . :

    General _Cubierea , whose came _luis become so fa . mous as onu of thoso implicated in the Teste aiFair , has _tenderod his adhesion to tho provisional government , with an offer of bin services to the republic . It is said that tho _tffer has _br _> en received very drily ; nnd that the Minister of War replied that if Monsieur C . ibicres wished to serve the republic in a military capaety , there was no reason why he should not do so , but that thousuaiway for those who had no rank in the army was to enter as simple snldiers ofthe line . It is not likely that M . _Cubieres ' zeal for the . republic- is so strong _as _. to induce him to devote himself to its service on those conditions .

    A considerable sensation , haa been created ( says the Morning Chronicle ) by an act of illegality into which the provisional government has allowed itself to fall . By tho laws _regulatim ; the National Guards each regiment bas the rij : ht to choose its own officer- ) , and the officers nominate tho colonel ; hut the provisional government has taken upon itself , in the face of the law , to nominate a colonel to the twelfth let ; ion . ' The person in whore favour the government has done tbis is no other than M . Barbes , who has been besides appointed Governor of the Palace of thc Luxembourg .

    _Barfje-i was condemned to _donthas ' the leader of the conspiracy of _lha 12 th May , 1839 . On that dav he presented himself at the _eate of the _t _' _a'aia de Justice on the Qjunaux Fieurs , at the I end of a body of armed men . Ho summoned tho officer _t-n guard , whose name was _Urntiineau , to lay down hi 3 arms , and oa his refusal Barbes shot him dead . Thi _^ ia the crime for which he was condemned . The 12 th legion now claim not oi . ly their right to elect their own colonel , but Ihcy declare that in any case they will not ba commanded by an assassin . ' Yesterday ( Sunday ) the 12 th lesion formally refused to receive Barbes ai _col'inel _, and the whole of the officers have intimated that if the government persist in the up * pointment , they will all resign . The legion is to bo

    ca'h'd out again to-day , and some disturbance is feared . The more respectable portion of the legion being against Barbes , and tho working classes being in his favour , it is feared that a _collision may take place . It is more probable , however , that the respectables will _t , tay away and allow Barbes and his friends to have their own way . This appointment of Barbes is , to say the least " of it , an act of great imprudence on the _pnrt of the now powers . Nothing can boa clearer evidence of the general disanprobation ofthe appointment , thnn the fact tbat the colonels * of the other eleven legions into which the National Guard is divided have intimated that thej _will-throw up their commands if the appointment ol Barbes be confirmed .

    To-day several large bodies of the working classes went in procession te the Pahce of the Luxembourg , id _derc-. & nd . the organisation of labour . They were preceded by flags and bands of music , but their behaviour was pcrfeetly peaceable . M . Louis _B'anc harangued ihem at some length , promising them somoefneient measures in their favour , alter which they retired peaco _' hbiy . Letters from Lyons of the 4 th state that thero is still a great deal of _agitation in that city . The labouring _chissos of the Faubourg of the Croix Rouge have seized u > on the fortifications cf tho place , and expressed a determination to destroy them . The delegate of the provisional government , M . Arago , went away then , and is said to have stated that thoy were quite _richt to destroy fortifications which were raised by the Orleans government for their oppression .

    M Burr . 'or , the _Legitimist deputy , lias add _reused tho following letter to his constituents aS Marseilles : — ' ' Vou know the event ? whieh have pecurred at Paris . TollaUmy frk't ; ds openly that my line of conduct ij ab . _soluttly and firmly this : —To sustain the provisional government ; to cause _psrsons and _j-Toperty to be respected ; to maintain th ? liberty of voting , aad to wait for the _decbiitw of tin-National Assembly , Any oth _^ r thought is _sliameful—any other manifestation culpable , ' It _i-i said that M . Emile He Giraidin has refused th » Director-Generals-hip of the Post-office .

    Intelligence was received in Paris on Monday that the workmen of tlio coa ! -p ' t » of Anzin ( Nord ) had _i'ti-uek for an increase of wages , demanding 3 f . a day in phce of li . 50 c . What is _considered grave in this _; ffair is , that this example will , it is supposed , be _foljcu'cd by the other miners of the Nord . the Somme , _; _,:,-: 1 the Pas de Calais , and that 100 , 000 men would _b-i bj out of employment . The news from Paris on Wednesday waa ofa fav ; _-r . ble character , tha Times s _^ ys . — Not only hud ' the French capital become calm a 3

    in ordinary times , but the journals were recovering their tone and attitude , changed or abandoned during ; he _stsrrov fortnight tha' . justclapsed , The National , without affecting fo be the organ of the provisional goverpment , was believed to be such in reality . In the columns of that paper were , therefore , sought with avidity indications of the thoughts and intentions of the Cabinet . Tho number of the National just received was on that account read with considerable _aativfaction for its contents were interpreted favourably for foreign and domestic peace and order .

    Another sign ofthe return of confidence in the maintenance of order is furnished by the Jotjksal dks _Debvt ¦ , -vhieh somewhat directly questions the expediency of establisning universal suffrage . The elections seem , in fact , to be regarded with fear and awe by all thinking men , and begin already 'to occupy , beyond all other subjects , the attention of the whole community , and to _suggest _misgivings which wo shall be happyto see proved destitute of foundation . ' If , ' says tho Debits . ' Franca will be better governed with universal suffrage— -if she will

    From this brief extract it will bo seen that the _Jocrn-al des _DfiBAis disapproves _universalsuffraire and apprehends fiom its exercise misfortune for France * ' -id _[ JMiceeds to recommend > * n _preference tiie systems that obtain in Great Britain nnd the United States respectively . It then concludes bv repeating its desire te find nil its doubts of the expediency of rendering the suffrage unlimited falsified by thc result , 'The Debats would appear , however , premature in its critique and anticipations , ' sava our correspondent . _'Rosort to Universal Suffrage was in this preparatory instance unavoidable . The whole nation is merel y called upon to elect a constituent assembly , which in framing a constitution will necessarily have to lay down and enact a permanent electoral law '

    The object of the leading article ofthe National h _, ' observes one of our letters , 'to prove that the _nccd ? 5 ' wn f-f the French RepnbJio has simplified the relations of France with Great Britain , tho good understanding which ought to exist between those powers having been compromised by the Spanish marriages which forcod the Orleans dynasty to throw it-self into thc arms of Austria . ' * If , ' says tho National—A revolution bad not occurred , tho mo ; t _BBri _9 u 8 consequences would have ensued from the Spanish marri . ai ? ta . It was determined hy the Court party to send the Duke de Montpensier to _Madrid , in _caso the Queen of Spain should die or abdicate . England , on her side , was determined to oppose any arrangement which would placo the government of Spain in the hands of the chief of tho Orleans dynasty ; and Spain was far from being satisfied with the authority whieh the Fivnch govern _, mont arrogated to itself . So that it , would have been

    _possiblo to eeo a new war ot succession arise in thc midst of the nineteenth century . ' Tho National next recommends the government , now that no danger exists of an interruption of a gaod understanding with England , to apply itself to tho _arrancementof the detail for the elections , and to set the finances in order . The Nati 02 * al relies upon Italy , _Swhzerland , and Spain to assist France , should the absolute Powers of the North attack her , regardless of the consequences which might occur in Germany and Poland from the report of cannon on the Rhine .

    The _Nations recommends that prompt measures should be adopted to reestablish a good feelinc be ' twecu the people and the army . The paople _^ had already given the example to tho Minister of War by fraternising with the troops during the grand ceremony which took _placu on Saturday last . The National Guard were , moreover , almost worn out by the constant service imposed on them , and those amongst them whose families depended upon their labour for support are ruined . All military duty , therefore , should henceforth be equally divided between the National Guard and the _troopsnf-the line , which no doubt will he ilono' now that the attention of the military authorities is called to the eubject .

    Tho business , property speaking , of the republic would appear to _heseduloiisly attended to . Tho _iiimisters wore necessarily occupied in reorganising and ia improving the regulations of . their raspective departments , and in disoussing ; and publishing new _measurea for the ' public _serviced _Addresses of cpngratnlationi too , - were conring in , and adhesion _^ to _fche . republic were arming _insuc-hmicibcts aa to ft p , .

    that acts of _violsneo and , excesses of this , _nature were equally injurious to trade , and contrary to the relations of friendship existing between the two countries , but tbat it was only the effect of emotion and want of reflection in those _twa places , tie added that the ! government would not tail -to reestablish between the labourers and the sailors 01 the two countries the liberty , security ,. and f _* _" 10 _^ _dship whioh ought to exist , and be strengthened , between the two governments . Notwithstanding this , however , it appears from the Havre journal that , a vessel arrived in that port frora Rouen with 200 English artisans , who had been dismissed frora a mannfactory in that town , where they had been employed forvears . .

    Tho _PnussK states that the provisional government intends to place the tomb o fNapoleon under tbe care of the Emperor ' s brother Jerome , who is to be appointed Governor of the Invalides . It adds , that Marshal Molitor , the present _Governor of tho Invalides , highly approved of the appointment , and wa * the first to . give it his _sanction . __ M . Arago , the present Minister ofthe Marine , ia to succeed M _, Gamier Pages as Mayor of Paris , M . Garnier Pages having been appointed Minister of the Finances . The successor ofM .

    The provisional government yesterday received a deputation of upwards , of 280 citizens of the United States . Thes _* gentlemen walked in procession to the Hotel do Ville . and amongst them was borne tha American dig and tbat of the French Republic united together , and flowing from the same staff . Mr Goodrich , in the name of his countrymen , presented the following address : — Oentlemen , members of the provisional _pnvtrr . ment ot the French Republic—As citizens ofthe Unlud States of America , and _spectators of recent events in _Taris , we come to offor you our congratulations , a gratefulTccollection ofthe past , and the ties of amity which _havprexisted between your country and ours , promp t us to be _araons the firet to testify to you and to the people of Franco the sympathy , respect , and adm iration whicb thoso events inspire . Achnowleaging the rl s ht of every nation to form its own government , we may still be

    _permitUd to felicitate France upon tne choice oi a system _, wkieh _recoenlses as its basis thegreat principles of rational liberty and political . quality . In tbe _progresBof the reoent . struggli here we have admired tho magnanimity of the French people , their _nelf-comni'ind in tho hour of triumph , a . > . \ d their speedy return to order and law after the tumult and confusion of revolution . Wa see In _thf-Be circumstances happy _om-ns of pood to France and to mankind , _aaBurancrS that what Ins beea so nobly begun will bo consummate *! ia the permanent establishment of a just and liberal governmont , and the consequent enjoyment of liberty , peace , and prosperity nmonK the citizens cf 'his great country . _Accept these testimonials ofthe _scntiiatnts whieh fill our hearts at the present moment , and be assured thatthe nens of tha revolution which you havo _jsst achieved will be hailed by our cou . itrymen , on the other side of thu Atlantic , with no other emotions than those of hope and joy for Franco and for tho world ,

    M . Arago replied as follows : — Citizens of tbo United States—We are happy to hear the expression of the sentiments which you bave just manifested , and we are happy « uch sentiments _proceed from the citizens ofa free people . Weare , above a ! l , ; happy nt the manner in wbich you appreciate the acts of the Parisian population . You have perceived what courage our fellow . _citizsns have 6 hown on the day of combat , and what moderation they have shown after the victory ; you have also seen with what cagernesB that people , after _having _departe-i from ita ordinary sphere , again placed itself r . mlcr tho dominion of its laws . You have justly declared that a _paopla has a right to give to itself such a government as suits it . _Luak at your owi' fiig --yoa behold there tho evident proofs ofyour prosperity ; the _numbtr of stars which are there displayed _1-ua been prodigiously augmented , nnd will be still more bo . ( Bravo , bravo 1 ) . What has be ? n so groat an

    advantage to the American population , cannot fall to be ro likewise for the French people , ( Cheers . ) We have no doubt that your fellow _-citizens in . tlio United States will join in the _sentimt-nts whiebv have brought you this day before the _Trovisionul porerument . lfe have no doubt that fresh ap « _plauso will also be given there to the valiant population of Paris . [ 'We can answer for that . '] Gent ' emen , tbe prayer that we offer up . and which will be _realised , is to the American nation and the French nation living- in tha most intimate union , ( Loud cheering . ) There is no motive of diffr _^ nca between you and us , onne that we are established na a republic , and that we advance in the republic path of liberty , equality , and fraternity . lam convinced that tho two nations will bo united , as ara the two colours which you there _bearamonuiit you . 'Vive la Republique . ' ( Tho cry was three times repeated b _£ the deputation . ) . One efthe American gentlemen then said : —

    'The Americans bere present request you ta aeeepS these two flags united—they are the eternal tmblem of the alliance between France and the United StateB of North America . ( The members of tho deputation ; ' We sweor It by onr Mood ! _' ) M . Abaoo ; Wo receive the colour with gratitude . It ! shall be placed in the Hotel de Ville ; and I trust thai never will _despotism attempt to snatch it thence . ( Loud applause . ) The _doublo fhg was then placed in the Salic des _Heoeptions . Tho deputation then-withdrew amidst reiterated cries of ' Vive !» Republique !' The provisional government has just named a committee to examine the claims of all persons -who havo siffeved damage in their property during tha late revolution , and . to award compensation for the _snmp .

    The provisional government has just issued a decree , declaring that , as the laws of September , from Icing a flagraut violation of the Constitution , have always called forth the unanimous reprobation of the nation , and as they are an infringement of the liberty of tiie press , they are henceforth _abrogated . All anterior laws relative to the press are to remain in force until such time as the Constituent Assembly _sha'l have come to soma decision on the matter . The _Mokiteur contains a decree of the provisional government , whereby , in . all the industrial and commercial towns a ' Comptoir National

    _d'Escompte'is to be created , destined to spread the credit of all branches of production . The capital of these ctmiptoirs is to vary _according to the wants __ of the localities , and the capital is to consist of a third in cash , contributed by the subscribers , a third in obligations entered into by tho towns , and a third in treasury bonds . Another decree institutes at Paris a * Comptoir National d'Escoinpte , ' with a capital of twenty millions . The city of Paris has subscribed a third of that sum , promise * another third in obligations , and , the state i ff . vds ( he third third . Another decree restores to the island of Bourbon ita _republican name of' Reunion . '

    The Palace of the Tuileries , now 'Palais de 3 Invalides Civils _, ' was cleared , on Tuesday morning , o £ the armed people who had remained in it since Louis Philippe ' s departure . It . would appear , contrary to the reports" spread at Paris , that they had conducted themselves well in the Palace , and that they ultimately left it without insisting on the pensions or » ther remuneration they had at first required . _^ Throughout Monday numer _ous depu _' ations suc « ceeded one another at tho Luxembourg Palace , where the Government ' Commission des Travarlleurs' sit .

    According to the Co _* istiti _* tio !» nel , the following diplomatic appointments aro to take place : —M . dllarconrt , London ; M . Boissy , Rome ; M . d'Alton-She ? , Turin -, General Fabvier , Constantinople ; M . de Tracy . United States ; M . Beaumont Vassy Denmark ; M . de la Moskowa , Spain . All these gentlemen were , if we mistake not , members of tba late Chamber of Peers . The Minister of War has issued a general order to the army , declaring that the cockades for the different corps aro to consist of the three colours , blue , red , and white , in the order just mentioned ; the Crown , hitherto placed over the brass plate on the Bkakos of the infantry is to be suppressed , A new arrangement ofthe colours of tho national ! fhg ha * been ordered to be made by the government —henceforth tho blue is to be attached to the stair , the white to ho in the middle , and the red at the extremity . This is the order in which thoy were _^ iised bv the National Convention of the 27 th Pluvoise
