The description of parties In the House of Commons—the complete failure of the Free-trade anodyne—the growing spirit of discontent , which pervades all classes coevally with the direful distress of the people , indicate that the day of England ' s

      TO THE STTBSCRIBERS OF THE FUND FOR THE DEFENCE OF MR , F . O'CONNOR'S SEAT .

      Fellow Cocstryues . The Central Registration and Election Committee , at their last meeting , took into consideration wh « fc in their opinion should ba done with the surplus ( after paying all expenses ) of the above fund ; the petitien ag&inBt the ^ honourable member ior Nottingham having been withdrawn , will Jeave a large sum of money in hand , aed the Registration Committee are of opinion that the greater portion of it should be handed over to this committee . The f UEO 3 at present at our disposal are little more than sixty pounds , which would barely suffice for a single contest should one arise before the general election , but as there is do probability of the present parliament being of long duration , we eught to be in a position to take advantage of any ocenrreace that

      might arise . At the commencement of the last general election we had scarce any funds to begin with , which in a ereat measure crippled oar exertions , er very different , Indeed , would fiave been the Ksults at Halifax , Sheffield , Derby , Tivertoa , Greenwich , asd many other places , and i % the same gentlemen stand pledged te again come forward at the nexfe general election , we must have the means to return them beforehand , br ' oor efforts sill be useless . In addition to the above places ; there are many more where the cfcanee 3 are greatly ' in onr favour if we had bnt the means to contest them , and as the committee are convinced that the House of Csmmonsiatne only arena where the battle for ths Charter can be decided , it becomes the ixmnden duty of every trae patriot to raise the sinews of war to carry the battle fo » the people's rights into the canipcftheeBemy . The committee , therefore , suggest that the subscribers to the above fnnd should without delay sand -their opinions to the Stab , stating what the various localities think the surplus should be appropriated to . By order of , and on behalf of , tha Central Registration and Election Committee . I remain , friend 3 . in the cauBe of liberty , Jamzs Ghassbi , Secretary .

      REPORT OF THE DELEGATION TO PARIS . Liberty—¦ Equality—Fraternity . The Executive Committee of the National Charter Association having appointed Philip M'Grath , the Chartistsof London Ernest Jones , and the Fraternal Democrats Julian HarneyJ to bear their congratulatory address to the Provisional Government , th § Delegation on reaching Paris , at once put themselves in communication with the authorities , and proceeded to the Hotel de Title , the seat of the government , where , after the announcement of their arrival , they were immediatel y received by the ministers . rniTlA'n T J ~ \ Tl * fT * TT O T" \ f / T 17 " / " ! A TT * YS * \ XT rPA

      The Democratic Government is characterised by an absence of unmeaning display , and' surroMnded by the love of the people , 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 protectingin thatexecutive , theembodiment of the 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 countenanr . es might 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 < 5 amier-Pages , Ledru-Rollin , and Marrast . Erkest Jones then addressed ( in French ) the membersof 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 you for showing us how an enslaved people 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 rights , and can read the plainer by the light 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 make war en the French Republic , Should the English and French stand on the same battle-field , it will not be as foes , but side by side , to re-establish a Poland or restore an Italy . The speaker then read a French translation of the address ; and the original , handsomely mounted and adorned with the tricolour , was placed ^ in . the hanls of Ledru-Rollin by Julian Earner .

      M . Garnier Pages , member of the Provisional Government , replied : —Citizens ! We receive with gratitude the sympathy of the English Chartists . They prove to us that England has perfectly understood the object of our glorious revolution , and the high mission of the Provisional Government . This mission must be peaceably accomplished by 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 by the English people ; for fraternity in the interior , and fraternity among

      all nations abroad , is what must for ever sustain the energetic men who have fought for liberty . We desire to conquer the good opinion of all nations ; we desire to invade them , with our principles and ideas ; but we do net intend to carry them oar institutions on the point of the sword . Take care to tell the English'Chartists that , in the Provisional Government you have found the liveliest sympathy ; tell them that the revolution has been made by the people and for them ; and that the Provisional Government , issued from

      the people only , thinks of improving the situation of all the people . Tell them we admire their principles , and respect their party ; and that from such the regeneration of society is to be expected . Observe , also , the republican spirit ; 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 delight this expression -of English sympathy .

      The deputation then withdrew , crying Vive la Republique ! and were escorted through the anti-chamber by 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 through Paris of the 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 truly to carry into practice that " fraternity" which is one great feature of the Republic ' s glorious motto . We may exemplify this by the words of M Liemauce , commandant of the town artillery , and one of the most active men in the late conflict—who said , that , instead of fighting 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 occasionally thronging the streets , and labouring under the excitemenfrof the recent conflict .

      It may he well here to allude to the dismissal of English 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 . In this 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 be looked on as interlopers , and those papers that inveigh against this should recollect that the English aristocracy and middle class , of which they are the organ , are as grossly intolerant of Irish servants in their houses , and have , hy similar labour-compete tion tried to produce hatred between English and Irish working men .

      The delegation would feel it was not performing its duty—were it not , conjointly 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 . , i 0 rdeE—rbecausethe people saw to the execution of their own laws . Contentmentbecause the sources of plenty were not tarried hy 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 sight the men in blouses guardingfaithful sentinels , —the stores of wealth and the seats of industry .

      One spint seems to animate all . On the palaces of kings , over the doors of churches , and the monuments of war , are written those magical words that shall regenerate the world : —

      LIBERTY , EQUALITY , FRATERNITY ! and , better still , on tbe hearts of every Frenchmen they are written , —in the every act of Government they are exemplified . Nothing could read a sterner sentence on the pride of kings , and the villany of their class-governmenta , than the great uses to which their strongholds and their revenues , plundered from the people , are applied . The polluted Tuileries has been ennobled—it is now an asylum for the infirm and aged among the poor . The million francs per month of the King ' s civil list , finds bread for the starving and un-

      Untitled Article

      willing idler . The wine from the cellars of Neuilly , no longer swells the orgies of the vicious , but gives strength to thff 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 complain 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 thecourage to winit . The French are taking the means to hep itthat has been never done till now . But , let every British Chartist observe , that the Charter is the basis on which they have formed their g overnment . Prosperity to France ! Success to her gallant sons ! for she has taught nations ag loriou 6 lesson . May they profit by it ! Those who have seen the salutary efforts of popular Government in France , must feel astonishmen t at the ignorance , apathy , or cowardice of those ,

      who , in other lands , can allow oligarchy to rule , and misery , undesigned hy God and nature , to exist . Astonishment well foundedfor if France , beneath her hundred chains , could start to liberty , there was no nation on earth t hat need doubt of its triumph . Those , we repeat , who have seen the happiness and peace of democraticFrance , must return impressed more deeply than ever with the important duty attaching to every individual , how ever humble , to induce in his own country a result as glorious as that achieved in France .

      The 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 .

      Dumfries . —The Jate glorious newa from France BDgrosses almost universal attention . The most unbounded sympathy witn the revolution pervades ail classes of our community—even ultra-monarchists rejoice in tbe fall of the tyrant of the barricades . Of course the more enthusiastic of the popular party are elated to a degree little , if anything , below what might have been expected had the thing occurred at home . They loek with anxiety for Borne of the more important localities taking the initiative , either jd addressing the provisional government or the Fiench nation , er showing in some other way community ol feeling with that noble people , and a determination

      to see that they get fair play , that at all events out government does not interfere for tyrants . ' aristocrat orshopocrat . Frem the tone of some cf tbe news papers—indeed the major portion of , them , therecreant Examiser , the Sfsotator , and the 'Dais * 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 the people of this country look eren with a cold eye upon their gallant movement to the yan of progress and its probable consequences . It is also intended in the event of sovernment continuing to arm the middle classes , to fora a rifle company . In this , too , we wait the example of the mire populous districts . At a late meeting of the W . M .

Frost , seconded by Mr Woodford ;—That we , the democrats of . Croydon , hail with pleasure the glorious movement of our brethren in France , and viewing the cause of the people as the same in all countries , we denounce as traitors to the English people all who sympathise with the deposed

      tynnt of France , whether they sit ontorone 3 or footstooJs / Moved by T . Frost i seconded by Mr \ Yilmot : —That we view the attempt to deprive Fear ^ us O'Connor of hi 3 seat in Parliament as dictated by the same liberticldal spirit as the suppression of the Reform Banquet in Paris , and we earnestly trust that the one attack upon Cue ri ' gn . s of the peo pie will be met as energetically as the other . ' Moved by W . Hodges , seconded by H . Clark : — ' That viewing the arming of the middle classes by government with suspicion , and deeming it fraught with danger to she liberties of the people , we recommend the formation of volunteer rifle brigades , composed entirely of working men , as there can be no safety for the latter class while they have neither YOte nor arms , and the middle classes have both , '

      Manchester —A great public meeting was held in the Hall of Science , oa the Uth ult ., to consider the best means to be adopted for defending Mr O'Connor s seat ia Parliament , The meeting was addressed by . W . P . Roberts , £ ^ q ., tne roinera' Attorney-General , who introduced Mr Parker to move the first resolution : — ' That this meeting views with indignation the attempt to deprive Feargus O'Connor , Esq ., of his seat ia Parliament , and hereby pledges itself to resist by every constitutional means the nefarious project . ' The resolution was seconded in an able speech by Mr Burley , and carried unanimously . Mr Leach moved : — ' That a committee be appointed to raise by subscriptions the necessary funds to enable Mr O'Connor to defend his seat without any

      pecuniary sacrifice to himself . ' Mr Radkin seconded the resolution , which was carried by acclamation . The meeting was next addressed by the Rev . W . Schofield , after which Mr S . Kydd proposed the following resolution : — 'Thattliia meeting being'fully convinced that class legislation is the primary cause of the munifold mevancts that now afflict the working classes of England and Ireland , are determined to continue its 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 , andjconcluded b y sayimj , that 'a brighter day is about to dawn , progression rolls onliberty is awake among the people — provinces and dynasties are swept before it—the vengeance of the

      nations is come—and despotism sits upon a rotten 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 the Queen is a phrase seldom heard—God cave the aristocracy still less so—God save th 8 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 . The rights of life are more Taiuablethan 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 . * Mr Kydd saf . down amidst thunders of applause . Thanks were tben given to the chairman , and the meeting dissolved . '

You _ , the peop ' e of France , nave proved to demonstration that , when a people are determined to be free , no earthly power can longer keep tiiem slaves . But , above aJJ , we rejoice at your firm resolve oi'for ever abolidbW hereditary

      legislation aDd monarchal institutions . Too long has Europe been infested with these legalised banditti—too long have the sons of toil worn the tyrants ' fetters , and submitted to their imperious ' mandates ; but a brighter day has at length dawned upon us ; the glorious sun of liberty smiles on vine-clad France , while its refulgent beams are illuminating the minds and strengthenicg the hearts of the men of other climes , who perceive that Franco has , as of yore , led the van in the onward marck of undying freedom . Accept , then , our fraternal regard , and our best wishes that you , who have so nobly accomplished the liberty of your country , may know how to preserve and permanently secure it .

      The tyrant s chains are only strong , Vrtiilo slaves consent t \) bear them ; But trho can bind them on thu'thra&g , Determined not to wear them . Vive la Republique . Vive laLiberte .
