It is too late to shut the door when the steed is stolen .

      After long delay and mueli opposition , Jlr .

The minority , however , is so large and so determined in its opposition that it is probable it will be vigorously resisted in its future stages , and reach the House of Lords only at a period when its slaughter , " in common with scores of other bills , Toll be inevitable . It is said that we may expect the prorogation in about a month . "Whether that surmise be true or not , It appears as though the session would be much shorter than last year . It will certainly be equally barren .

      ^ i' ¦— - JPREEROLD TjAKD KEDEMPTIOX SOCIETY . The desirability of a society to enable the working classes of the United Kingdom to possess themselves of property in their native soil , has long been felt , and , so far as one body—the National land Company—is concerned , every effort has been made to compass that object . So decided , however , is the hostility of the ruling governmental power of this country to any proceeding , . however just or equitable , that appears at all likely to secure the possession of landed property to the masses , that every conceivable obstacle and legal difficulty that cunning could devise , have been put forward to impede the progress of that iabour-redc « jiii ! g confederacy .

      The Press , the Bar , and the Senate , have all been called into requisition to crush the National Xand Company , and to nullify its operations ; but the only eflfcet of this array of feavful opposition has been to retard , but not to break up , the Company . The first law officer of the Crown Las been employed to put it down , and when pleading in the Court of Queen ' s Bench against it iie was not niggardly of ill-natured and ill-intentioned remarks T but the impartiality of the Court estimating his desperate effort at its real worth , and sipon the evidence before it , gave a decision , which , as far as it went , was most favourable to the Company . But such are the proceedings in the " higher courts , " and so doubtful is the " glorious

      uncertainty" of law , that a final decision on the legality of the Xand Company is likely to be delayed for considerable time to come , —notwithstanding that the Attorney-General , when the matter was last before the court , sictually pressed for an imincdiatedecision , on the ground , "that the interests of so many ¦ people were involved in it , " and because " several other companies -would also be affected by this ¦ decision of their lordships . " It appears how , however , that the hope is , that delay and consequent suspense , will effect the same object as an adverse decision on the part of the Queen ' s Bench , and hence , the late term has been allowed to pass over without any return on the part of the Registrar . The writ issued at the instigation of the Company . —The Directors , however , are determined not to be thus defeated , and they much mistake tiie members of the Company and its numerous friends

      of the Avorking classes , if they will allow this fresh andmore ' quiet method of burking the laud movement to succeed . The land is what the people want , and the land is what they can and must get . It . Tequircs but a judicious use of the small means at their disposal to enable them to do so , and the Directors of the land Company being determined to make the land revolution successful , have prepared a plan whereby all may have a portion of the soil , the possession of which is indispensable to the cnjovmenii of real freedom , and without which the millions of toilers must continue slaves , no matter -what way be the nature of the political constitution of the country . The Directors have resolved , that in the ease of the " Freehold Land Redemption Society , " the harpies of the law shall not have anv advantage over them , as the society will be duly enrolled before it opens its exchequer to the receipt of funds . Freehold Land

      The chiet features of the " Retlemi > tiou Societf are , that its payments will be « lassified so as to meet the convenience of the various means of the working classes . The subscriptions are intended to be from one shilling per week and upwards . THE LA 3 TD TO BE FREEHOLD . TIIE TOTE TO BE SECURED .

But it is right they should know that the ^ H dis nob cultivated , and it is also just that ihey saould know that the purchase money of each of those allotments will not much exceed the amount of bonus they have already paid—that is , that the amount they have paid will go within fifteen or sixteen pounds of purchasing the land out-and-out , and will render them liable to no rent , except four per cent , upon the amount expended upon the house , aud four per cent ., or about twelve shillings per year , Interest upon the difference between their bonus and what their allotments wenld be valued

It should be understood that this land is capable of being made as productive as any land upon the estate , while the Directors consider it thenduty to give the above members the option of taking it , or receiving back the amount of bonus they have paid . The Directors also beg to inform the unsuccessful members , who have paid into the bonus fund , that they can receive the amount by return of post , upon application . It will be also found from the subjoined list , that

      parties have jaid £ 200 each , * 100 each , and other equal sums , and it will be necessary for those parties to remit an increase to entitle them to priority of choice , but they cannot place themselves in a situation to take precedence of those who have already paid a larger amount . The allotments will be respectively assigned on Monday week ; and therefore these increased remittances should be forwarded with as little delay as possible , in order that a correct list should be furnished to Mr . Doyle on the estate .

      As a matter of course , the Directors cannot be answerable for the neglect of other parties , and therefore . it should be distinctly understood , that the successful members should be en the estate on Monday , 2 nd of July , at twelve o ' clock , and each prepared with his receipt for the amount of bonus , to guide Mr . Doyle in his apportionment of the allotments . We- trust that this information is sufficiently distinct and simple to exonerate the Directors from any blame subsequent upon the neglect of the interested parties . William Dixox .

      LETTERS TO THE WORKING CLASSES . XLIX . " TTordg are things , and a small drop of ink Falling—like dew—upon a thought , produces That winch makes thousands , perhaps millions , think - " unto . v . THE TRAITOrTtjUUMPHANT ! Brother Proletarians , The hopes I hardly dared to cherish when I last addressed you have vanished ; and the apprehensions of evil I entertained have been but too faithfull y realised . In the dying words of Robespierre "the brigands triumph ! " But I will not say with that immortal martyr " the Republic is lost ; " for in spite of the terrible misfortune of the 13 th of June , I have hopes that the Republic will yet be saved , and that the traitors will be brought to that punishment their crimes so loudly call for . J

      Up to this time I have no report from our friends of the actual events of the 13 th of June , and subsequent days . As you will be aware , the democratic journals were suppressed the moment the manifestation in favour of the Constitution , that is in defence of the Republic , took place . It is true that the formal suppression of those journals did not take place until some days subsequent to the 13 th ; but what mattered the form when the fact took place the very day the people of Paris manifested their attachment to the Republic , and . their abhorrence of the fratricidal war waged against the Roman Republic . To

      ensure the suppression of the democratic j ournals , a body of the National Guards of the 1 st , that is one of the most aristocratic of the legions , invaded the . printing offices of the Peuple , the Repullique , the Democralie Pacifique , the Vraie Aepublique , and other journals , and scattered the type , broke the presses , and , in fact , destroyed or rendered useless the entire printing property of the several establishments . "While this work of destruction was beingperpetratedby the defenders of properly (?) , the poor printers were placed in peril of their lives ; loaded muskets were pointed at their

      heads , and the order of the leading ruffians was : " If any one of these men moves , shoot him . '" So much forthadefenders of order (!) Subsequently , the Assembly having voted the state of siege , that assassin Buonaparte issued a decree suspending the Reforme , the Peuple , the Revolution Democratique et Sociale , the Democratic Pacifique , the Iiepublique , the Tribune des Peuples , aud the Vraie Republique . Every journal devoted to the interests of the Proletarians is " suspended , " that is extinguished , for as long as the triumphant conspirators please , or for as long as the peopU of France allow those ruffians to exist .

      By way of rendering his tyranny the mon conspicuous and unmistakeable , the greaj " Special Constable" has established military posts in all the offices of the suppressed journals . He has not merely crushed the onlj faithful representatives of the working classes , so far as the Press was concerned , but by going beyond the worst that Chaules mi Tenth ever hoped to effect , or that Louis Philippe ever attempted , President Buonaparte has shown his determination to crush

      the pen by the sword , truth b y force , and right by violence . So be it . " Those who live b \ the sword shall perish by the sword . " AVeri I a prophet I would so prophecy , and had ] the power I would see that certain parties realised in their own persons the full meaning oi that prediction . But taking for granted the accounts of the event of the 13 th of June , and subsequent days , furnishe < -

      by such papers as the Consiitutionncl , and supplied b \ the correspondents of the London daily papers , tin conclusion will be come to by all honest men , thsn Ledeu Hollis and his compatriots acced nobly anbravely in appealing to the people , although , unfortunately , that appeal miscarried . As shown in my last letter , the Constitution had been violated , aud , consequently , it became the duty of the minority to give the signal tothe people to rise in defence of the Constitution .

      Let the corrupt journals he , sneer , and scoff a they please , Ledhu Uouin and his . gallant associates deserve the applause of all nations . It is true tho movement was suppressed without , hardly a blow being struck , so far as Paris was concerned ; but the men who set their lives , their all . upon a cast , did so with not unreasonable hopes < . f success . So far as human foresight could avail . there was reason to hope that the soldiery would not be deaf to the nppeal made to their honour am . patriotism , botli outraged by the infamous war carried on against Koine , and by the gross violation oi the Constitution . In consequence of their votes ai

      the recent election , and the part taken by larje numbers of them in connexion with the Social-Democratic propaganda , there was good reason foi believing that the army was largely indoctrinated with Red Republican principles . It was kuown that the artillery legion of tlie National Guard vac thoroughly democratic , and it was not , could not be doubted , that the _ mass of the people thoroughly detested the traitors at the iiead of the Republic . The attempt , therefore , of Leduu Eollin and his compatriots to save the Republic , by an appeal to arms , was justified , not only hy the justici of their cause , and by the letter of the Constitution , but also bv politic calculations of success .

      But they were mistaken , flic enemy had also made his calculations , and , as the result showed , he had calculated most accurately . The fact is , that the violation of the Constitution by President , Ministers , and the Legislative Majority , was deliberately planned for the purpose of goading the true Republicans to descend into the streets , whovo . ir was intended they should be slaughtered . Und < r tho terrorism exercised by CiiAXGARNiisn and the other aristocratic chiefs of the army , the soldiery were influenced to present a hostile front to the Democrats . But the soldiers would not have fou <; lt against the people if the National Guards had sho < n themselves inclined to support the Constitution .

      To prevent any such manifestation on the part of the Guards , the BuoNAr-AitiisT conspirators took care not to beat the rappel , because that would have brought tha democratic , as well as the aristocratic Guards to the scene of action . Consequently , the latter only made their appearance , having been privately , summoned by the counter-revolutionary chiefs . As regards the people , tho frightful butchery of which 'arge numbers were the victim .-in June , 1848 , togetherwith the courts-martial , and subsequent arrests and condemnations , had thinned their ranks of a vast number of the most determined combatants . Misery and cholera had done much to damD the spirits of the survivors ; anJ ,

      lastly , thanks to the plans long since matured by CuAxcARSiEn and Kis brother brigands , those who were roady and anxious to seal their devotion to the Republic with their blood , were for tho most part in want of arms , and were everywhere prevented from attempting resistance by the masses of troops and National Guards directed upon every spot where a popular gathering gave token of disaffection to fife government . 9 The movement was suppressed , tho deniocraTO journals crushed , and probably at this moment ; there are not fewer than a thousand of the chiefs and leaders of the people under arrest , including several members of the Mountain . Ledku Rollix is a fu"itive , and nearly all the other true friends

      of the people , who are not under arrest , are in concealment , or are flyinw from their unfortunate coun try . The state of siege—that is absolute , irresponsible , military ruffianism—13 now the sole law in Paris , Lyons , and other cities . Lastly , a Law has been adopted by the Assembly , arming the Government for twelve months to come with power to suppress all clubs and public meetings by force ! The affliction most to be regretted is , that one hundred and fifty of our brethren'of Lyons , have fallen fii » hting for the Democratic Tftd Social ltepublio . " That is , One IIundued and Fifty Murders , for which I trust that Buonaparte and his fellow-traitors and assassins mil yet be brought to

      ustice . Brother Proletarians , we must not despair of France , but rather hope that the hour is at hand when the people of that country will gloriously avenge themselves by chastising their tyrants , and establishing a veritable Republic—the " Jtepublique Democratique et Socials . '" L'AMIDU PEUPLE . June 21 st , 1849 .

      110 * OUl To ROME , TO HUNGARY , ASD THE RHINE ! A densely crowded public meeting was held at thei Literary and Scientific Institution , John-street , lottenham Court-road , on Tuesday evening , June 20 th , to sympathise with the brave and heroic peoples now struggling against , allied despots , in deienco of their democratic and social liberties . Air . II . IlcTiiERiNGTOif was called to the chair , amidst loud applause , and after reading the placard convening the meeting , said : —We find the people moving in favour of progress from one end of Mi ope to tho other . When tho people are in misery we find the srovornmerit tolling them that .

      they have duties secular and religious to perform , whilst a hireling priesthood tells them that they must submit to " their spiritual pastors and masters , and all tfiat are put in authority under them ;" - ( laughter , and "Hear , hear ; " ) -and they also profess the greatest veneration for the book from which they , profess to draw their religion , which book tells us "that men of all nations are made of one flesh and Wood ; " yet , at the same time , they mow down their brethren with grape shot , and cannisrer . The rulers of France deserve the execration of all mankind ; whilst the patriots of Hungary , for tneir noble and heroic conduct , have won , and nehiy merit honour from all nations . ( Immense uheermg . ) Look at Austria , headed by a brutal monster of

      an Emperor , who , while he brutally flogs women and tortures mento death , calls himself the father of his people . ( Laughter , and groans . ) Why there is a league of kings and scoundrels—the Guizots and Metternichs—to put down democracy in all nations—( hear , hear)—and what is it that democracy asks , that governments should be so desirous ot keeping it down ? why the political , moral , and social happiness of the whole people . ( Xoud cheers . ) Under such circumstances it should be our duty to unite all sections of the Democratic party . Let us have a league of peoples against the league of kings and despots , and make kings proclaim equality of ri ghts to all men ; but this will never be done until a thorough republican feeling pervades all countries . ( Tremendous cheering . ) Kings were frequently very mean people ; look at tho King of

      Hanover , ruling a portion ot uermany , and at the same time dipping hia hand into our pockets to the tune of £ 23 , 000 per annum . He could not think what tho Queen Dowager wanted with £ 100 , 000 per annum . "When ho compared his income with lier ' s ho could not ' think what she did with it- ( loud laughter)—and then it appeared she had some £ 6 , 000 a year of pocket money , which she could throw in the gutter if she liked . These things must be altered . This meeting ' was a stop in the right direction , and he said go on , and success must follow . ( Loud cheers . ) lie had received . a letter , from Mr . G . W . M . Reynolds , stating that ho was hoarse from the effects of speaking at two meetings on the preceding night , and laid up with a severe cold , but , at the same time , expressing his sincere uid cordial approbation of the object of" the meeting . ( Loud cheers . )

      Mr . Hak-vev , the secretary , said he had received two letters , one from Mr . R . Moore , stating , that being engaged at another meeting for a . similar purpose , at Cowper-street , that night , he could not attend theirs ; and he read the following : — St . John ' s Wood , July 14 th , 1 S 49 . Deau Sib , —Circumstances , sufficiently well known , have made me resolve in future to decline attendance at public . ncetings , and to confine my advocacy of liberal opinions exclusively to my pen . Were it otherwise I would most , ; lndly attend the meeting on the 19 tli , "for expressing Sympathy with our Democratic Drethren on the continent . " fhe meeting wilt have my warmest approbation . No language can be too strong to characterise the conduct of con incntnl ' governments , most especially the infamous out-• nge of . the French government on the young Republic of ioine . Yours faithfully , J . Julian-Hartley . William IIowitt . Mr . G . J . Holyoake moved the following

      resolu-¦; ion : — " That as all nations are formed of one flesh , and ire consequently brethren , despotism and usurpation are contrary to , and subversive of , the great Saws of humanity ; and as the end of all government should be the happiness and well-being of the governed , those who by an assumption of unnatural power tramplo on and destroy their fellow men , desarvo to be held up to scorn and execration ; while chose who are enslaved , and arc nobly struggling to free themselves from bondage , and those , too , who having won liberty , are defending their freedom at . he cost of their lives , merit the admiration , the ¦ ipplause , the sympathy , and support of the people of this and every other country . "

      i-Ie said : It was enough to toll them that the Romans had established a republic of their own , which had been most disgracefully attacked by France , to the eternal disgrace of her rulers—it was not the ¦ Yench people , but their rulers , in opposition to heir will , that were attacking the bravo Roman people . The French had no pretext for that inter"erenQe , as the Romans were unanimous . What Jie Triumvirs . did , was done with the wish and full concurrence of the whole Reman people , which had : > een proved by the inadvertent admission made by Uio Empevoi' of Russia in a colloquy with some lisliops The Emperor said , " that the true faith inly prevailed in Russia —( loud laughter );—that as men become faithless they lose their feeling for

      rood government ( he did not know whether good iovernmont meant tho knout ); that faith hiul decreased in the west , and the people had become discontented and rebellious , and he much feared it had . iitered his own dominions —{ tremendous and longcniuinucd cheering );—but they must be vigilant , uid they might rely on his assistance in the vesto-• ation of order . " ( Laughter . ) The freedom of on ; ¦ tation affected the whole , and vice versa , and if one lation was oppressed it was the duty of all others Ko assist the Oppressed nation . The Russian and Austrian despots merited the opposition of all free icople . Ho was delighted to think tho men of the -metropolis had conic forth in defence of Rome so promptly as they had done , it redounded to the

      . ii-odit of tho republican feeling prevailing m this country . ( Loud cheers . ) He ¦ was a member of a committee who sympathised with Italy , and that committee had in a very short time received more money for the Romans than they bad been enabled to raise for any other purpose for years past . ( Cheers . ) They ' had the means of communicating with the bravo Romans , and he had the pleasure of assuring tlioin . 'that the Triumvirs and the Roman people wove proul o £ the sympathy of tho English Democrats . ( Loud cheers . ) Not only men but women were lighting for Roman liberty in a manner worthy of their over glorious ancestors . ( Rapturous applause . ) Julian ILyrxey , who on coming forward was reneived with loud applause , said : This resolution

      isser ' ts two great principles : that all men arc (• rcthren ; and that it is the duty of the nations to afford each other mutual aid as members ot tho same human family . I should like to see the man who would stand here and attempt to demonstrate the unsoundness of these principles . It is true that in the history of the human race there has hitherto been but little of Fraternity . Hitherto Icings , and priests , and aristocrats , and capitalists—and I am sorry to add to the disreputable list , sham-republican rulers— -have set the nations tearing at the throats of each other , when , itistead of which , itwas the interest and duty-of the people of all countries to have marched together , shoulder to . shoulder , in pursuit of the one great end of life , —

      happiness . ( Hear , hear . ) » 'ill any one attempt to show that it is the interest of the Russian people to butcher tho Hungarians ? Of the Prussian people to butcher the Poles ? Of the German people to butcher their own countrymen the Republicans of the Rhine ? Of tho French people to butcher the - ¦ lorious defenders of Republican Rome ? ( " No , no , " and cheers . ) But I will come nearer home . I will ask , is it the interest of the English people to sond soldiers to cut the throats of the Sikhs ? ( "No , no" ) . Though Queen and parliament , Lords and Commons , aided by tho lies of the press and the roar of tho ' Tower guns , should unite to declare the wars waged against the Sikhs as necessary and glorious , I will say that those wars were neither the

      one nor the other . ( Cheers . ) I will maintain that the Sikhs ( like the Romans and Hungarians ) were justified in fighting for the freedom and independence of their fatherland . ( Great cheering ) . I ask , was it the interest of the English people that English seamen and ships of war should have been sent to the Tagus to re-impose a system of hateful slavery upon the Portuguese ? ( " No , no . " ) No Let kings , and statesmen , and mi . itary brigands , aild lying journalists , talk as they please at > out law , and order , and legal government , and legitimacy , and right divine , and loyalty , and glory , and na . tional honour , and go through the entire vocabulary of fraud , falsehood , and humbug , I tell you that the wars of nation against nation , and one section of

      the people called soldiers , against another section called labourers , arc gigantic assassinations , wholesale murder . ( Renewed cheering ) . On the other hand , I am prepared to demonstrate that it is the interest of all nations to aid each other . It is the interest of the people that oppression should be overthrown , and justice be established in every land . Applause ) . This resolution holds up to scorn and execration all those who make war against justice and liberty . Limited to time , I will not now speak of the Austrian despot , the _ perjured Prussian tyrant , or that imperial executioner tho autocrat of Russia , I Will speak only of tho infamous French

      government . Jrrotu tlio commencement 01 we world to the present hour , throughout the whele history of our species , there has never been a greater act of atrocity—I doubt if there has over been enacted any crime so horrible as that of the unprovoked attack upon , and bombardment of Rome . ( Hear , hear ) . I denounce President Buonaparte and his infamous ministers—( groans , and hisses > -as the betrayers of European HWty , traitors to tho French llepublic , and assassins of the glorious Romana . Hear hear . I fmTot one -5 tlose who take care always to be on the winning side . 1 do not wait to see whether a SSJ&SSSoM . or vanquished beta * I declare myself .

      or deleated , I take my stand on the side of that cause . And I declare , that although unfortunately beaten , the friends of democrary in Paris acti'd nobly on the 13 th of June . ( Cheers . ) Honour to Ludru Uollin and the locialist Democratic leaders of France . ( Immense cheering . ) it is said that fie Mountain is only the minority of the Assembly and had no right to rise against the majority , but 1 say that the majority , in backing up the traitorous President and his traitorous ministers , forfeited their right to sit in the Assembly , 'i'lie President , the Ministry , and the majority of the Assembly had violated the Constitution , and from the moment they did so they were traitors . Duty enjoined the minority to . rise against , punish , and take the place

      of the majority . ( Cheers ) . But our friends failed , and blood ' flowed at Ljons in vain—in vain for a time , but the hour of retribution will come . ( Appkuse ) . In the meantime it is our duty to do more than pass this and the other resolutions which will be submitted to you . It is our duty to do more than sympathise with the French , Democrats . express our admiration of the Hungarians and Germans , and subscribe money for the Romans—it 13 our duty to take the necessary steps to obtain political power for ourselves , so that we may be enabled to give the aid of p hysical force , if need be , to our brethren of the continent . ( Cheers ) . I am a great admirer of peace , and I do not despair that about tllG tilllO of the commencement of the millenium " permanent

      and universal peace" may be established , btit at present I think such professing philanthropists as Cobden and Sturge , instead of "holding' peace meetings ' at Exeter Ilall , would do well to hold meetings such as this to sympathise with tho brave Romans , Hungarians , and Germans . ( Applause . ) There cannot be peace , and there ought not to be peace , until oppressors . are everywhere overthrown . ( Renewed applause . ) H the people of this country possessed political power , a control over the House of Commons , and government of the cou . itry , our war ships , at present rottinff in our harbours , and our soldiers living in idleness , would tie sent to Italy and Germany to rescue tho Romans , ¦\ ed tlie Germans , and frighten back the Tsar to his

      Muscovite den . ( Loud cheers . ) The people of this country have no desire for war , for they have had too much of war and taxation ; but in a case of necessity I am persuaded they would not tamely stand by and see their brethren butchered by the hordes of tyrannical usurpers . ( Cheers . ) There is but one rule of right for nations as well as for individuals , and that rule enjoins the strong to assist the weak when the latter are exposed to oppression and outrage . If wchnd a government worthy the name , it would forthwith take up the cause of the Democrats of the continent . But we shall not have such a government till we have the Charter , and we shall aot have the Charter till union and energy become tho adopted virtues of the democratic party . The

      social reformers desire democratic reform ; why not , then , unite with the Chartists ? The Chartists aim at social reform ; why not , then , unite with the social reformers ? I implore all the able and true leaders and instructors of the people to forget their jealousies , their injuries—real or imagined —to abandon the rivalries of a petty ambition , forget the quarrcllings of the past , and cordially unite to advance the great cause we are wedded to . ( Great applause . ) Then should our brethren on the continent be compelled to succumb for a time—then by our union , judgment , and energy , we may plant Che banner of Social Democracy on these shores , and re-commencing in this country the struggle for Freedom and Right ,-wo may extend the

      movement from England to tho continent , and sustain it until oppression shall everywhere be overthrown , and the reign of Justice be universally , triumphantly , and permanently established . ( Enthusiastic and prolonged cheering . ) Mr . A . Waliox , in supporting tho resolution , asked who could help admiring the spirit which characterised the defenders of the young Roman llepublic , headed by the glorious Mazzini . In Hungary , the heroic deeds of Hem , Georgcy , Dembiuski , and Kossuth , strike us with an intense feeling of veneration , and inspire hope for tho future . ( Much applause . ) If the Germans were ti'ue to themselves , lie believed it would be utterly

      impossible to crush liberty in the Rhenish provinces ( Loud cheers . ) Tho Lomhardiaus had been put down by sham Radical traitors . Ho knew but one greater piece of traitorisin—that of Mister " Special Constable" Prince Louis Napoleon Buonaparte in bombarding Rome . (" Hoar , hear , " and execrations . ) Rut he had no foai for the ultimate success of the principles of democracy . The present war was not only one of principles , it was a war of hungry bellies against full ones . England was called a free and great nation , but did they ever know in any other land an instance of a million and a half oi people , dying from sheer starvation ? We wanted a reform of our institutions , which could be alone effected by tho united voice of the whole people .

      The resolution was carried unanimously , amidst the loudest applause . Mr . Thomas Clark rose to move the following resolution : — " That this meeting , viewing with admiration the noble endeavours of the Romans , Hungarians , am ! Germans to establish Republican institutions , anil holding that self-government is the right of all nations , hereby protest against the infamous and diabolical attack upon Home by the French , Austrian , Spanish , and Neapolitan governments ; the mur « derous war against , and invasion of Hungary by tlu tyrannical govern merits of Austria and ltussia , and the 'league of German Despots formed to crush the Republicans of the Rhine ; and this meeting calls

      upon the British government to forthwith reCDgiusu the Republics of Rome , Hungary , and the Rhine , and to give to those Republics all possible support against the tyrannical league of the continental despots . " lie said : Under ordinary circumstances I -would be most unwilling to lend my assent to the latter part of this resolution , inasmuch as I dissent from the principle of one nation interfering with the internal government of another , and beciuso I think we win best serve the interests of democracy abroad by establishing it at home , ( near . ) I have always admired the conduct pursued by the first President of the American Republic , in relation to wars in foreign states , which was to hold entirely aloof from them ,

      taking especial care not , upon any account , to become entangled upon either tho one side or the other . During the administration of the affairs of the American Republic by Washington , the first French Revolution occurred , and , as is well known . England intevfeivd to suppress the French democracy . This happened shortly after tho termination of the English war with America , and as France had sent soldiers to the aid of America against England , France , when involved with England , sought the interference of the American government . But Washington , at the outset of the young translantic Republic , wisely resolved not to engage it in foreign wars with any one power , on accou . t of any other power , and , although his own

      countrymen were clamorous that he should send troops to flic aid of France , Washington positively refused , notwithstanding that such refusal , at the time , gave a considerable shock to his popularity . But experience has since shown that Washington was right , as all his successors have , without exception , fol-Jowed tlie course which he then pursued , and his reasons against interfering in foreign -wars , no matter what their object , have become an axiom in American politics . ' ( Cheers . ) This train of reasoning , however , does not apply to the conduct of our gorerament , as it has been a habit with them to interfere with everybody , and , generally speaking , their interference has been upon the wrong side . ( Cheers . One instance has already been cited—the case of

      Portugi . I—and I may add the busybody proceedings of our Foreign Secretary , lately , in the attairs of the Sicilies . ( Hear and cheers . ) This resolution is expressive of the strongest condemnation of the conduct of the rulers of Franco , in raising a fratricidal arm against the Republic of Rome . ( Hear . ) May we not , however , at the same time , ask , "If there arc not persons nearer to us than the French Government , whose conduct in this Roman invasion is deserving of censure ? " ( Cheers . ) What has Special Constable Louis Napoleon said in his message to the French Assembly ? Why , that " France , m all that it has done , has had the sanction of the English Cabinet . " ( Loud cries of execrction . ) Yes , much as ovir Protestant rulers hate the Pope they

      have a much stronger hatred of Republics . ( Hear , and cheers . ) The conduct of his Holiness , too , has been most unworthy of the representative of Christ upon earth ; as tlio latest accounts we have of him , represent him engaged in bestowing'his blessing upon a horde of Spanish mercenaries , who were about to march upon Rome , to massacre the brave inhabitants of that glorious city . ( Loud cries of " Shame and indignation . ) But let the Spaniards go and join the French , and 1 hope that if they enter Rome it will be but to find graves ! ( Tremendous applause . ) This I say sincerely and advisedly , for , although I am no advocate of blood shedding , I yet hope that ifitmustbe shed that the tyrants may perish . ( Cheers ) But supposing the worst to come , and that the prcscntgovernment of the "Eternal City " should be put down , their defeat will only be for a time as revolution will inevitably succeed revoluwill have d tfte

      tion , until ultimately they uproote last vestioe of despotism and ignorance . ( laud cheers . ) The brave Hungarians , too , are beating back the mercenaries of the Russian Autoc-rat , ; Uld the Austrians are sharing a similar fate . ( Hear ) . The Times newspaper itself is most reluctantly admitting such to bethe the fact , although the conductors of that journal made opposite representations as long ' as they could . ( Hear ) . Ihey did tho same in the case of Rome and their Italian correspondent—the man who does tio atrocious from that part of the world—for the Tims , said , when the French arrived in Italy that they would not mre anything to do but to march on Home , seiie . upon Mazzini and tho other : tw > triumvirs , hang them , and the revolution would be crushed . - ( Cries of ' Shame . " ) But what does the moral assassin now say ? That so praiseworthy has been the conduot of the Triumvirs , that there ia not throughout

      the whole papal dominions ' one man who wishes for the return of the Pope . ( Cheers ) . So much for the veracity of the people at Printing' House-square ( Hear ) .

( Cheery Mr . Clark ait doirn after proposing the resolation . Mr . AI'Gbath , in an eloquent speech , supported the resolution . ' ie After ;» few remarks by Mr . Kissels , the resolution w ; is earned un . 'iniOM »> sly . Mr . Gin , ma brief speech moved , and Mr . Dixotf seconded , tk « e third resolution : —

      . " Ihat this meeting , maintaining the principle that numbers , whether constituting a majority or a minority , can fjever sanctify a crime , and holding that President 3 > uonaparte , hi * Ministers , - usd the majority of the French Assembly , have been guilty of violating every principle of jlastico by waging a fratricidal war against the Itomaa Republic , hereby expresses it . i most sowlial . approbation of the oon-( Juec pursued by the-incnibers of tiw Mountain ; uid tho Socialist Democratic leaders of the Froneb people , on the 13 th of June ; and whilst regretting tho hultii-e of that attempt to save fliie Democratic cause , this meeting excesses its fervent detestation of oho military tyrants of France , and : nost ardent wishes for their speedy downfall . " Mr . BRONTKiutE O'lliusx . in coining forward in

      support it , was hailed wicli rapturous p&iudits , and said it was wrong to suppose that a majority had the right to do as it liked in all cases ; : it had the right to do as it liked in some canes , 6 » ut not in others ; if it had , depend on it tha t m the House of Commons—the minority—would bo soon turned out ot" doors . 2 \ ot even the Supreme power had a ri ght to do as it liked in all cases . True , Blackstone had ' written that "Queen , lords , and commons were omnipotent ; " but the Queen had only as much power as lier ministers would give hey—the lords did what tho commons would let them—and tlie commons were entirely ruled by the land and fundlords . ( Hear , hear . ) Tho Assembly existing ' in France had no right to he an Assembly . They could only sit in right of the Constitution . The

      Assembly had violated that Constitution , and consequently its powers ceased . It existed now on the strength of one hundred thousand assassins . The men of France had been grossly deceived . Had they believed the representatives would have allowed an attauk on Home , they never would have returned them . JNot only had the government 400 , 001 ) hired assassns in France , but they had disarmed the working men , put down six daily papers that advocated the interest of the people , ami threatened three others , and introduced a bill for the suppression of public meetings , soirees , &e ., ibr twelve months . He had told them twelve months since , that an attempt would be made to destroy Universal Suffrage . Already was tho outpost gone , and the citadel would go next . In the late commotion in Paris , the mppcl was not beaten , chu government were afraid that the democratic portion of the Rational Guard would turn out as well as the aristocratic . ] le still believed

      chat Unircrsal Suffrage would be put down , unless the French poople resolved to use fire and sword against reaction . ( Tremendous cheering . ) lie would not give a fig for Universal Suffrage , unless as a means to enable him to work out such a social reform as would destroy the pernicious influence of fundlords and landlords . These were , and are the real rulers ; he would undertake to prove this at the bar of the House of Commons , although he would much rather do it in the House itself . ( Cheers . ) The aim of all despotic governments and governors was to destroy Universal Suffrage before die people had time to appreciate its benefits . Hence the present French difficulty . Had a thorough knowledge of social rights prevailed , ho did not bciieve that Louis Napoleon would ever have been chosen in preference to Lcdru llollin . ( Loud cheers . ) However , he did not think any government could put down Universal Suttragu , so long as upwards of two millions of people were in its

      lavour . The resolution was adopted by acclamation . Mr . Stallitood raid aud moved tho adoption of the following petition , and that it he signed uy the Cnairman , and presented by Lord Dudley Stuart , M . P .: — TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF CHEAT MUTA 1 K AK
