      THB BED BEPUBLIC . The following proclamation , drawn up by the Abbe Lamennais , has been signed by all the Bad Bspublicaa Members of the Assembly : — - -We are far from the day on which , after hereto combats th e Republic , issuing brilliant and glorious from ttemldstofvictory . displayeditselfto the world as the living image of Liberty , Equality , and Fraternity , as the sacred symbol of all tbe hope * for the fatnre . From one extremity of Europe to the other , the nations saluted it with their acclamations ,. aad , penetrated by the new mint , by the regenerating breath , they broke their old chains in the name of the right which France had inaugurate * . She herself immediately gathered the fruits ; L political order , the abolition of privileges , and unithe enfrahisement

      Tersal suffrage ; in social order , nc of workmra , first condition of the transformation ef labour Itself to arrive at a juster division of its products , to the guarantee ofthe life of all in a society one and jointly ji ^ ponslble . Soon , however , the conquered parties united and organised ; Everywhere that their influence could extend , they applied themselves to exciting by ia . trigueasd calumny enemies to the Bepublic and obstacles to its government , deeping little by little into tte administration , they there-fatrodaeed their Grindeles ani thsir passions , and made of the revolutionary power which they had eoaquered an arm against the re * solu tion itself . We ware driven back to the gates of the aensreby , and it Is there that we oonare ; it is to the den of the monarchy that the destinies of the Bepublic

      have just been confided . We understand the fears of the people and their indignation , for which certainly then is too muob cause . Let them , however , not alarm themsdvei beyond measure , and especially let them take care not to cede to perfidious provocations . Whatever may be done to drive them to scU of diiastroas imprudence let them remain calm and firm , masters of themselves ! in srder to be masters of the futmre . It is thus that the y wi ll prove their strength , and that they will find it uninjured , invincibly by union , if it should again bave to come in aid of right . For ourselves , honoured fey the title of their representatives , we know to what that title obliges us ; we know our duties , and will folfil them . Sent by the people , united to the people , we will struggle , and it is our belief we shall conquer

      frith then . The po lice tore tbe aborefrom the walls , seized the eop ' . es wherever found , and arrested the criers who sold it in the streets . We read in the Union : It appears that the Socialists decidedly intend to try their strength by bringing forward M . Baspail as a candidate for the presidency of the republic ; although the club of the' Association Ouvriere ' has adopted in Paris the eandidaUthip of M . Louis Bonaparte , a great number ef the workmen haveMSolved to give their votes te the prisoner ef Tincennes . A letter from Lyons states tbat tbe Socialists of that city have the same inteHti ^ p : _ JI 1 JBaspaa has a chance of ising adopted in the " great manufacturing and commerdal towns , ia which is exercised , with the greatest activity , thi revolutionary and oommunlstpropsgandlsm . The government is adopting precautions against any movement on the part of the BeaBipublieaas'inraiis . On Saturday last all the arms of every description deposited in the : Museum of Artillery were removed aader a Bfrosr escort to the fortress of TiBcemnes .

      rOUlIBUSX B&HQUIX , A Socialist banquet look place or Saturday at the Jardin d'Hiver , in the Champs Elysees . The guests whloh might nnmber from 700 to 800 , compgsedof both sexes , sat down to their feast at six o ' clock . At halfpast seven a number of persons were admitted on tickets as auditors and spectators . A tribune was erected , adorned with flowers and surmounted by a bust of Fourier , from which a series of toasts were delivered and illustrated by the favourite orators of the seel . Thsse toasta were only the reproduction of those which have been giren at other similar celebraHon « , including 'la RepnbltQiiB democratitiiB at sodsle ! ' * Ls droit an

      tnnil ! ' « L ' orginlsafion « a travail par association !' < tc Among the persons who presented themselves successively ia the tribune wen two coloured men , members of the Assembly , and representatives of the West India colonies . These individuals did not speak , tat had between them a gentleman who delivered a written address for them . Oa their appearing in the tribune a number ef persons near it rushed forward and grasped their hands with much apparent warmth . The series of toasts and speeches was concluded by an addreis ' from M . Victor Cansiderant , the editor of the Dehocbatu Pacihqde , and the great apostle of the sect , after which a collection was made for the families of the insurgents of June who had been transported , and the meeting separated .

      The secret societies are rapidly gathering strength . Meetings take plfcce rightly ia the faubourgs at which some ef the most a « tlve leaders take part . One of tbe saost popular ef these is Bernard , of the late elub Bcnne Kouvell ? , Another of the characters which figure in these re . unions is the son of M . Madier de Hentjsah , for . meriya councillor of the Court of Cassation , whoresigned his office after the circulars of M . Ledrn Bollin . This individual rivals the popularity ef II . Barnard . Another of these leaders is Cnauvelot , who it is said imitates Bobeipierre in bis costume and manner of speech . He figures especially in the Qa « rtier St Denis and the Bue Mooffetard , and where the name of Bobespierra never rails to excite an outburst of enthusiasm .

      ~ M . Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has addressed the fol . lowing note to the journals ;— ' Persons of good Information , having informed the representative Louis Napoleon Bonaparte that insensate people were covertly working to get npa riot in his name , with the evident object of compromisiBghim in the eyes of the lovers of order and sincere republicans , Louis Napoleon has felt himself bound to make these , reports known to M . Dofaare , Minister of the Interior , adding that he energetically repelled the idea of his having any participation in plots so completel y opposed to bis polit ical sentiments and the conduct he has panned since the 24 th of February .

      GERMANY

      STATE OF VIENNA . Qa the 15 tfc in the evening . sitting of the Diet , Schuselka , reporter of the committee , announced that the state of sffairsjn the city had not yet undergone any change ; ttat the posittens of the army , andf likewise of the Burgher Guard were still the same ; that probably only the outposts of the Hungarian , army had crossed the Austrian - territory ; that at this moment the noise of the cannonade was heard in the distance . In the interior of the city the exdtemeat bad decreased ; the general organisation was excellent ; the works of the pnblio defences were admirabl y ; coostructed , and tbe comp osition of the staff extremely good . Tbat the state of Vienna was exactly identical with its situation at the time it was besieged by the Turk * . '

      The army of Anersperg amounts to 15 , 000 men , tbat of Jellachlch to 35 , 000 well organised troops . They srsi reported to bave dispersed the Hungarian Landstnrm , end to have devastated Oedenburg by pillaging it and setting fire to it . Prince Bouss is marching for Vienna with 10 , 000 men from Moravia , General Bohm , who served in the Polish war , and a Pole , were , in sonjunction with M . Messenhausen , entrusted with the defence of the city ., The editor of one of the most violent democratic papers of Vienna , Herr Earner , had been arreBttd at Stein , in Upper Austria , ( whither he had proceeded to raise the peasantry , ) and takes to the fortress of Olmuz .

      It apptara from the proceedings orthe Diet on the ISSh , that the deputation seat to eecS an interview with the Esjperorat Olmnti saw Ferdinand on the 15 th , His answer was vague ; he said he was gladthatthe Diet was using all its endeavours lo oppose anarchy ,, and he would try on bis part to do the same . This answer seemtd unsatisfactory to the Diet , which on the 17 th sent a third address , stating the removal of the troops from the whole of Lower Austria , and the nomination of a responsftls ministry , were the tine qua taon of maintenance of peace at Vienna . Thas matters are still in doubt . Meanwhile no engagement between the Hungarians and Croats kss taken place , | Jellaenich on the 16 th had nude a reconnoissance towards Nassdorf , which is on the Danube , higher up than Vienna . On the 17 ih he was moving through Schwacfiat , theplace where theBorttufijBsfalselyannounced the Hungarians to havepitched their tents .

      . Some members of the Hangarian Stufient * ' Legion , who had just arrivtd at Vienna asserted that the Ausl trian frontier-was swarming with Hungarian troops ready to advance , and amounting to 80 , 000 men , with 130 pieces of artillery . There was no other reason fcr delay but the rameor which had prevailed that the Diet of Vienna ejected to their marching on . Koiiuth , Mestaros , and Mega were at ( he head of the Hungarian

      army . ; In the sitting of the 18 ts , Schuselka announced that according to the advices received the Hungarians had re ^ erossed the frontier . a - Letters from Vienna state that the Hungari ns were within two leagues of Vienna . ! The members of the deputation appointed by the Left of tbe Frankfort Assembly to proceed to Vienna , in order to express sympathy with the Viennese , have not only accomplished the orject of their mission , but have

      gone one step further , and have taken ap arms for the gdodcyuse . On the 17 th they made their appearance , amidst enthusiastic cheers , in the ' hall of the academy , where ( Robert Blum particularly ) they declared that the cans * of Vienna was the cause of Germany , and that Vienna must conquer ; otherwise the entire population ( of Germany ) must rise up to a man . In all parts of Germany there existed the same feeling in favour of the ' good cause . ' At the conclusion of Their speeches they were invested' ( after the manner of the old knights ) with the insignia of the Academic Legion .

General Kc ( s " nr was sought to read the letter , but he could not be fourf . Tbe letter was then opened , and proved to have been written by General Zdsberg , in the name of Jellachlch , in nearly the following terms , from head quarters , ia Altenberg in Hungary : — ' Yob bave tsken possession of the bridge of Presburg , and in what man-, nerf Send me sach troops as yoa can spue .

      received my letter of yesterday % Lst me know the disposition of the people of Presburg , and the state of things there . * As : soon as this letter was read , the people set about to search for GjneralKucehr , that they might hang him . Batthe troops immediately abandoned their posts and retired from the city , and the General was nawhare to be found . A portion of the soldiers came back aad joined the National Guard , after having shot their colonel and captain , who endeavoured to cjns'rain them . ~ The other troept , it is stated , are watched by the Cecopicrl infantry and tbe Joseph regiment of dragoons .

      Bohkkia , Pzaguk , Oct . IS . —Twenty-two thousand men and six batteries are to be dispatched to Vienna . The soldiers manifest displeasure in marching for a civil war , and the grenadiers , who are not liked , had bsen ordered on quitting Prague to make a detour , instead of passing threogh < be city , on their way to the railroad , probably to avoii a conflict with the people .

      MR JOSEPH BARKER AND TBB CHARTIST 1 BODY . TO THE SDIT 01 Or THE NOSTHBBK STAB . Sia , —A lecture was delivered by Mr Barker in the Temperance Hall , on Monday week last . MrRawson , town councillor , in the chair . The subject of his address was Aristocracy and pauperism , ' In which Mr Barker endeavoured to show that the landed arlstobraoy are tbe cause of tbe pauperism , which exists in this country . At the conclusion of his address , MrG . Roberts proposed tbat a Defence and Viotim Committee should be eeta . blished in aid of the families of tht imprisoned Cbarttsts . Mr Barker objected , and said the meeting waBhU meeting , and would not allow himjelf to be identified with the Chartists , or as he styled them , 'physical forcemen . ' Mr Roberts attempted to reply , but was intw . upled by tbe

      friends of Mr Barker , upon which Mr R ibertfl desisted . Mr- Barker then announced the name of a parson who would receive snbicrlptloas for hii defence from the moral force men , and said . thst the physical force men might act for themselves . The usual sale of Mr Barker ' s tracts wa * then proceeded with , and after a vote of ( hacks being given to the chairman , the meeting began to separate ; upon which Messrs AHerson and other memhers of tbe National Charter Association ,, called on all who were in favoHr of appointing a Victim Committee to remain . A goodly number obeyed the request , and ultimately ei ght Chartists were elected , with power , te f *? .

      , . Lightowler , and other friends . It appears from what has occurred at Braof © rd ,, BBd the faot of separate committees being formed by professing Chartists for Mr Birker , in various places , that the unfortunate Chartist prisoners and their families are doomed not only to aeglect , but that they are to be held up to the govern , ment 8 B legitimate objectB of pcrBeoution , nnder the sweeping and unscrupulousappfllatlon ef ' physical force men .

      A ' Citizen of the World . '—As the name of Rossi seems destined to figure in . Papal history , it may be right to give a few biographical notions of this personage . He was born in the little town of Massa Carrara , at the time it was governed ' by the Archduchess Maria Beatrice , about 1790 , and hence was ushered into life an' Austrian siibject . In 1808 a decree of Napoleon made him a Frenchman , by converting Carrara and the duchy into a department of the empire . : "We soon find him at Bologna a iractising lawyer , and in 1814 a subject of the Pope , but having cast his destiny with Joachim Murat , we suddenly discover him at Naples a naturalised Neapolitan , and joined with Salfiina revolutionary attempt . After Murat ' s discomfiture he passed the Al

      ps , and settling at Geneva , married a Swiss wife , and became a nAluralised Helvetian in 1820 . He got a seat at .. the cant onal council board and the federal diet , and sowed the germ of central authonty , out ef which sprung the Sonderbund . Having made acquaintance with the Due de Broglie at the Chateau of Coppet , so famous for the various great men arid women who have met there , he managed to negotiate through him with Suizot for a professor , ship of jurisprudence at the Sorbonne , and got it , becoming naturalised at Paris . He was a constant contributor to the press , and wrote the ' summary of politics' in the Retue des deux Mondes ; was made peer of France for his successful embassy to Rome Of course he had a hand in the election ofPlo Nonb and is now his prime minister , What next » '

      Cunning of Juvenile Offenders . —At a dinner recently given to Mr Armitage , Mayer of Manchester , Mr Maude , the stipendiary magistrate of that city , referring to the recent statute giving summary powers to justices in the case ' -bf petty larceny by children—a law , he observed , if judiciously administered , likely to be very beneficial—gave an . amusing instance of the rapidity with which changes in the law become known to those who are likely to be amenable to them . One of the penalties inflicted by the Act in question is that of privately whipping boys under fourteen years of age . " jjithin a very short time ( he said ) after the Act became law , little Urchins apprehended on charges of this description , though scarcely able to look over the dock , when asked by the magistrate their age , invariably answered , 1 Going o' fifteen .

      Description of the Rio Bravo , —Imagine four of the crookedest things in the world , then imagine four more , twice as crooked , and then imagine to yourself a large , river three times as crooked as all these put together , and you have a faint ideaof the crooked disposition of this almighty crooked river . There is no drift in it , from the fact that it is so crooked that' timber can't find its way far enough down to lodge two sticks togetherbut few snakes , because it is not straight enough to . swim in , and the fish are all in the whirlpools in the bends , because they can't find their way out . Birds frequentl y attempt to fly across the river , and alight on the same side they started from , being deceived in the different crooks ! Indeed , you may be deceived when you think you see across it , aHd some of the boys say it is so darned twisted there isn't but one side toit . —American Paper .

      Execution Extraordinary . —Pursuant to his sentence , Thomas Brennen was hanged in front of the gaol yesterday forenoon .

The Burgeon attributes the dli ease to the unhealthy Btate of the atmosphere and to the locality , a common , sewer being in the Immediate vicinity . The captain of the . snip aioribtB it tb the rotten condition of the hnlk , and to heat generated during the night bj so ' many men being olonely packed ' together , a ward having from ten to twenty . four men ' tleeplrig in it , aocording te itB size . .

He died at seven o ' clock in the morning . Dr Baly , saw the deceased shortly before ten o ' clock on the evening on which he was attacked . He did not think at that tims that it was an attack of cholera , but the remedies - which he prescribed had reference to the possibility of the disease being cholera .

In consequence oi these oases of oholera , another surgeon has beea added to the establishment , an additional quantity of spice has been mixed with the gruel , half a pint of porter daily is allowed to each prisener , and I have recommended the substitution of solid food fer erne in order to fortify the prisoners against the disease . Means have been adopted also for keeping the prison well warmed , and other measures of a preoas * tionary nature have been taken . The coroner hnvii »

      briefly Bummed up , the jury returned a verdict , that the deceased died from Asiatic Cholera . The second case was that ef George May aged 24 , who was first attacked about five o ' clock in tb » morning , and who died at twenty minutes to two 0 clock in the afternoon . In this cue the symptom were purging and vomiting . Brandy and water and the usual remedies were applied , the body was rubbed with warm cloths , and he was constantly rubbed until the time of his death . The Coroner inquired if there was any local cause to account for thesa attacks ? -Dr Baly replied , tbat possibly the proximityjko the river might have something to do with it . The first case which had occurred in the metropoliatook place near the river , exactly opposite tha prieon . The j ury found , as ia the previous case , that

      tbe deceased had died from Asiatic Cholera * Wsolwich , Oot 21 . —A rigger in Woolwioh Dockyard , named Mealey , was carried ont of the yard this forenoon labouring under a severe attack of the cholera ; he had been at werk on shore opposite thfl station now ocoupied by the Sulphur and Hebe , with the convicts who were removed from the Justitia oa board . Almost avery person now admits the noa < contagious nature of the disease , bat many have tht impression that the oholera poison , or miasma , is conveyed to others , according to the direction of ths wind over the place where it emanates , The number of cases were oertainly far lesBon board the JustitU when the wind was north-east or easterly than when it was from the Bouthwest , the latter wind carrying the vapoar of the sewer in the Royal Arsenal on board the vessel . ,: , ; . -,.

      Two or three cases of oholera , said by the surgeons who attended them to be Asiastic , have occurred ia the town of Woolwioh . In one case , a lad was brought from on board a collier lying off Woolwioh , to Mr Prater , surgeqn . of ThomasStreer , who , after administering remedies ., directed him to be taken to his friends in London , as it waB too late for him to obtaia admission into the Dreadnought Hospital . Tbe Iphigenia frigate , formerly appropriated tothe Marine Society boys , has been ordered to ba taken to her former statioa near the Dreadnought , at Greenwich , to be used exclusively as a hospital for pereoai attaoked . with the cholera , that they may not be ia the same vesiel sb other patients .

      . woolwich , \ Oc 4 . 22 . —The eases reported as admitted up' to twelve o ' clook yesterday were thirtyseven , and one new c » bc to day , whioh the doctor reports will be a fatal one , makesa total up to twelve o ' clook today of thirty-eight admitted , twelve deaths , twelve discharged , and thirteen convalescent , to that there is only one case now having a tendency to be of a fata ! character . The rigger , named Mealey , who was attacked yesterday forenoon in the dockyard , died this moraine , shortly after six o'clock , after about eighteen hoars illness . He was one oi the riggers who had assisted in navigating the Unite and Wye hospital ships from opposite ; the Royal Arsenal to moorings opposite the Dockyard ^ and in taking the convicts from oa board the JuBtitia into the Hebe and Sulphur veasela , andrembviBE ; then to their presont station , betwixt

      Ch ' arltOB pier and the east ead of tha dockyard . On the same evening he went to enjoy himself at Chart ton fair , Whioh , owing to ' the great quantity of rain , was very deep 1 with mud , and getting : wet , with the other exoitements of the fair , was enough to bring oa an attack of cholera although he'bad not been employed en board the conviot ships during the day . An experienced naval officer remarked yesterday , that , although he did pot believe the disease waB contagion * , he had noticed in many , instances that persqns using the samo ' water-closet as cholera patients were very liable tebe attacked , owing to the foul ' poisonous air in them .
