Takao u had been displayed by the entire people of France. (Loud cheers). And so far as their internal govern ment was concerned, be would not have the impertinence to paw en opinion as to whether recent changes were for the tatter or otherwise. He would only express his heartfelt wish that republican institutions might prove as advanta geous to that country, where property was so subdivided, as they had to our transatlantic rivals. (Hear, hear.) But while he admired the moderation and chivalrous courage of the French, be could not forget that the latter virtue was often accompanied by a thirst for military glory. He could not but remember how efficiently the spirit-mirring words, "En avant a la gloire," had been used by Napoleon ; and is w as impossible to anticipate what ambitious leaders might arise out of the present struggle to assert the right of France to the Rhenish boundary. (Hear, hear.) That boundary England was bound to preserve by trea ties from which her honour would not permit her to s werve. (Oh, oh.) To maintain the frontier of Prussia we might be dragged into a war, and for that reason he for one would not consent to leave the military and naval de letion of the country in a weak or inefficient state. The octet of bring safe was to be brave, end to preserve with out ostentation a dignified attitude of defence. But to come back to the question of taxation, he was prepared to sup port the motion of the hon. member fur Montrose. If they would only retain the duty which came in force that day (the corn duty) it would produce 850,0001., and a duty on Bal . ic timber, which would ooly affect the foreigner, would be worth 700,0001. Cotton, without injury to manufac turers, might produce 650 0001. ,• and besides, a tax on Ame rican cotton would eater its production in In dia.i In laying on this duty we should only be following at a modest dis tance the practice of the United States, which had laid an ad valorem duty of 28 per cent. on our exports. He would only follow them at a modest distance, for while these duties were 28 per cent., he did not propose to eased ten or twelve per cent. on the value. Tallow was one of the articles on which he would impose a duty of 10 per cent. Foreign wool was another. He would tax nothing colonial—( h ear, hear)—and on all the other grmit articles of import he would impose the same rate of duty. (Hear, hear.) On foreign manufactures he would impose a duty of 30 per cent. ; and there were few of our articles of manufacture upon which the United States im posed so low a duty a. 30 per cent. (Hear, hear.) What would be the result of an smgort duty of 30 per cent. en foreign silks might be judged of from what had been the result of the reductions of duty made by the right hon. baronet. In 18.36 there were 14,000 looms going in Soital fields. In 184.5, when the trade had been ruined by the foreign competition the right hen. baronet had by his laws. encouraged, there were only 10,000—(hear, hear)—and, at this moment, there were but 3,500 of these working. By those changes in the law, not only had 169,0001. a year of revenue been lost in this article, but the operatives had been robbed of 150,0001., or the means of employing 7,000 families. The same disastrous result had followed the reduction of duties on shoes and other arti cles of manufacture, and yet with these facts before him, with the knowledge that thousands of the hard-working opera tives of this country had been reduced to a state of rule and destitution by his acts, he had the heart to tell them that he did not repent the policy which ha.l entailed upon his coun trymen so much distress and suffering. (Hear, hear.) He remembered well when the right hon. baronet told the Cor nish miners, when they complained of his bringing in foreign competition against them, that they must consider the ad vantage he gave them in admitting goose feathers duty free—(scar, and a laugh)—that they would be enabled to sleep on down beds. (Laughter.) What were the down beds on which they were now repaing ? He need not go so far as Cornwall—he would vein Staffordshire; and there he found that oat of 160 furnaces 60 were out of blast, and the miners who were to have enjoyed such un heard-of luxury found that they were either thrown out of work altogether or their wages were reduced fifteen per cent. (Rear, hear.) Except the usurers—the representa tives of the money-bags—he knew of no trade that had prospered under the opera ion of the right hon. baronet's free-trade pulley. (Cheers, and cries of " Divide.") The country was in the lust gasp before the Chancellor of the Exchequer wou'.d consent to remove the Bank restrictions, in order to bring the rate of interest below 8 per cent. There was another tax in which a consi derable increase might be obtained at a less cost, perhaps, than by any other means. An additional penny on the post age would produce, he believed, 8.50,0001. (Loud cries of • No, no ") Why that would not he so great a grievance as the income tax. (Hear, hear.) When the eeduction was made, it was e, imated by the promoters that within three yeses the number of 'erten would increase 51 times, and that 21 millions would be added to the revenue; but had these predictions been fulfilled? (Cries of " Ques tion," and "Divide.") The question was, whether or not the country was to have imposed upon it for three years longer the income tax, which had become extremely odious to the country, and not the less so hirsute on each previous occasion of its being put on —first in 1842 and then again in 1815—the country had been distinctly promised, that it should be but for a short time. (Hear.) Faith had not been kept with the country in this matter, and the people were dissaticfied—u they had a right to be when statesmen deceived them by false pro. mimes. (Hear, hear.) Either they must retrace their steps and raise taxes from foreign imports, or, if the luxuries u well as necessaries of life were to be reduced, let them take 25 per cent. from the incomes of those who lived on the taxes of the country. (Much cheering, mingled with cries of " Divide.") When they found the wages of the Spited fields weaver reduced 20 to 25 per cent —when 20,000 opera tives were out of work in Manchester for months together, and those meetings of which he had an account in his hand —(" oh, oh "), hut would not read at that late hour, were being held to consider whether or not the operatives of Lan cashire and Cheshire were to be sent across the Atlantic to share the fate of the wretched Irish emigraars—(hear, hear)—they must not allow the large birds of prey to escape scot free with their large salaries and cheap luxuries. (Hear, and cries of " Oh, oh," " Questien," and" Divide.") If was to be made the cheapest country in the world, cheap because the wages of labour were ground down to the lowest possible rate, let the salaries of those who fattened on the public taxes be reduced ales (Hear, hear.) Let 24 per cent. be taken off the salary of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ire land, who, being a free-trader himself, could scarcely object, when it was necessary to maintain his own views. (" Hear" and a laugh.) And let all the other public officers suffer a similar reduction. (Hear.) What he recommended was to allow this income tax ti remain another year, and in the , mean time ascertain whether they could not reduce the ex, penditure of the country without impairing the efficiency of our establishments and if not, whe ther they should reimpose this tax for a still longer period or have recourse to a different sys tem of taxation altogether. (Hear, hear.) lie would con clude by calling open his friends around him to remember That an honest man might once take bad advice, But idiots only cou:d be deceived twice. Mr. BROTHERTON, amid loud cries fora division, moved the adjournment of the debate. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER hoped a division would now he allowed to be taken. (Cries ot "Go on," " Adjourn," and " Divide.") Strangers were ordered to wi , hdraw ; but after a few moments they were re-admitted, no division taking place. Mr. WILSON said though be should be sorry to incom mode the government, yet this being the stage at which many hon. gentlemen who had not yet spoken were anxious to express t ,eir opinions, he could not—especially after the speeches of that evening—which had given the debate a tura some hon. members ha I not expected—(hear, hear) — think it proper that a division should be taken until all who wished to speak should have had an opportunity of doing so. (Hear, hear.) Sir 0. GREY observed that if the hon. gentleman did not propose to address his remarks to the question of whether the tax should be continued fur three years or one year, but to the general question, be would have full opportunity to speak hereafter. (Hear.) Mr. DISRAELI called upon the house to remember that the right hon. baronet (Sir R. Peel) had been entering into I the merits of the new commesciil eys , em to which he and his friends believed the present deficiency was owing. It was necessary, therefore, they should have an opportunity of showing their belief that tit, re would, but for that system, have been no necessity for this tax. (Hear, and cries of " Divide.") Mr. WILSON intended to speak to the motion becira th house—tha , of the period for which the tax should be con tinued, for in that the whole question was involved. (Hear.) He agreed with the right his, baronet that if they did not continue this tax, it would be impossible to carry out the policy which had of late years governed the house. Mr. WAKLEY was decidedly in favour of an adjourn ment, though not on the same grounds as the hon. gentle man who had just spoken. If the tax was to be continued for three years' government was bound to give some sub stantial reasons for it, which they had not yet done. (Hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER consented to the iirtljouiument, and The debate was then adjourned till Friday next, and the house resumed. PASSENGERS BILL. Mr. LABOUCHERE having moved that the house go into committee on this bill, Sir P. NUGENT, Sir F. BERKE, and other Irish members, its postponement, which was opposed by Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL, Mr. MAUNSELL, Mr. ADLIONBY, and Mr. CARDWELL, on the ground that as the emigration semen was approaching, it was of great importance that the question should be settled, as much evil would arise from further delay and uncertainty. Mr. FthiTER and Mr. A. STAFFORD thought it would be better to give up the bill altogether, as there was no proba bility of its being passed for several weeks. After a conversation which lasted half an hour on the propriety of going into committee, Mr. WAWN, who said he was opposed to the bill altogether, moved, as au amendment, amidst much laughter, that the Speaker leave the chair that day fortnight. The house divided—For the motion 99 For the amendment Ci-93 The house then went into committee, but Mr. WAWN protestedogainst their being called upon to proceed in committee with a bill which had been only deli vered that morning, and moved that the chairman report Progress and ask leave to sit again. Mr. LABOCCIIERE felt that the interests of humanity demanded of him to persist, if supported by the house — (hear, bear, and cries of Oo on")—more particularly as he had reason to believe that it would be generally concurred in by the shipowners. Capt. ELLIOTT said he would sit there until 4 o'clock in the morning if necessary, in order that the bill might be passed through committee. Sir IL FERGLISON, although opposed to the original bill, supported it in its amended form. After some discussion, as to the evils of further delay, Mr. 'Newt( consented to withdraw his motion, and the bill Pilled through committee. CONSOLIDATION OF PRISONS. On the motion of the ATTOHNIT-OZZalliei t a bill was brought in to amend an Act for consolidating the Queen's Bench, Fleet, and !disrobelies Prisons, and for regulating the Queen's Prison.

The house then adjourned at a quarter past 2 o'clock.

LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 7. TnE manifesto of the French government, which has appeared in the shape of a circular to his se veral diplomatic agents abroad by M. LAMARTINE, has occupied, no doubt, the attention of every states man in Europe. And we are very glad to have it placed before us with the concomitant knowledge that it has not excited any serious discontent in, or protest from, other powers. The letter of M. LAMARTINE is resplendent with talent. It preaches the doctrine of peace with philoso phic conviction and poetic fervour. It proclaims with a considerable show of justice and truth, that the thorough, popular republicans, of the first French re volution were friends of peace, at least, at first; whilst it was the amateur republicans of the professional classes, who favoured war as a vent for ultra-democratic spit it, and as a career for the unem ployed and unprovided. In this case the professional republicans having been mistaken, arid having paid for that error with their lives, the gentlemen of the provisional government are, we believe, not likely to fall into the same error. But unfortunately, it so happens that, if the professional and other leaders of a republic in France are now much more pacific than their fellows were in 1792, the French people in 1848 have far more cause and inclination,and senti ment for war, than the French people of 1792. Even these inclinations have, however, seriously diminished, and will find check and counterpoise in the immense mass of the middle and commercial classes. We have, therefore, every hope that the French proffers and predictions of peace will be universally accepted and realised. Whether M. LAMARTINE has taken the beet path towards the perfect maintenance of tranquillity and peace, is a question that may be disputed. M. Li, MARTINE declares the treaties of 1813 to be torn asunder by the mere fact of the revolution of Febru ary ; and he merely regards the present territorial delimitation as bases, from which to start in a ne gotiation for other delimitations, and other frontiers. This, it must be seen, is the stirring of a tremendous question, not so difficult or formidable, if M. LAMAR TINE himself were a minister with a constitutional or republican majority behind him. But M. LAMARTINE having declared the treaties of 1815 broken. may leave to more ardent spirits the task of darning ant' patching what he has torn. We have no doubt that M. LAMARTINE felt it indispensable to the character and maintenance of the French government to go so far as to make the declaration which he has done respecting the treaties. It was, however, much to be desired that he could have remained silent, and re frained from stirring so vital a question at so critical and disturbed a time. Lest, however, M. LAMARTINL'S words should create more alarm than would be warranted, we will state what we believe to be their import. France was assigned certain frontiers in 1814, whilst in 1815, after the successful campaign of Waterloo, changes were made by way of castigation to France which inflicted and inflict wounds upon the honour more than upon the interests of the country. The circular of M. LAMARTINE speaks of the treaties of 1813 solely, not of those of 1814 and 1813, which is the usual ex pression. What he points at therefore, is, the possibility of France obtaining by peaceful negotiation her fron tier of 1814. To this England, far from having any objection, on the contrary, would gladly accede. Any satisfaction to the wounded honour of France would be gratifying to us. The question, however, does net materially concern us ; it affects Bavaria, Prussia, and Belgium ; none of which countries will probably demur to peaceful negotiations. The temper of Prussia is, however, likely to be put to a severe proof. The canton of Neufchatel, a prin cipality which the congress of Vienna was absurd enough to leave in the hands of Prussia, instead of giving it an independent position in the Swiss Con federation—this canton has expelled the Prussian au thorities. Moreover, the Prussian State Gazette con tains certain remarks on the French revolution, not at all in harmony with M. LAMARTINE'S circular. The official organ of Prussia declares, indeed, that its government will not meddle with the internal affairs of France, but it declares that .‘ it will consider any infraction of the treaties of Vienna as a declaration of war." Moreover, it bids German phases and people to be united, and if they wish for peace, to prepare for WV ' State Gazette is im- This article of the Prussian prudent; and it wants the excuse for its imprudence that M. LAMARTINE can plead. The Prassian govern ment has no sensitive national spirit to satisfy. We regret the simultaneous apparition of both documents, THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY ETENINU, MARCH 7, 1848. and fear much that they will tend to give rise to ar maments and military expenses. It is, however, no affair of oars. As journalists, we may criticise M. LAMAKTINeB letter; as Englishmen, we find nothing to complain of therein; but, on the contrary, much to admire. As to the treaties of Vienna—Prussia, Aus tria, and Russia, but the other day showed their utter contempt for them by absorbing Cracow. They did this without consulting us. And we, therefore, trust, that they may also settle any di ff erence, great or I small, with France, about the frontier towards the Rhine, without troubling us either. If the other na tions of Europe will fall into their old errors, we shall sincerely regret it. Our motto, at least, must be neu trality and peace. was, in AFTER all, the cosaie predominates over the tragic in the revolutionary drama of February. We do not I l allude to the conduct or fortunes of the royal fugi tives. No one can refuse a tribute of admiration to the Duchess of ORLEANS, and all must rejoice that neither bodily risk nor peril threatened or reached her relatives. The comedy lies not in the precipi tancy of their escape, but in the far grea - er precipi tancy with which the followers of Louis PHILIPPE have thrown themselves into the arms of the revola tio-iary government. The first military converts to the republic were, indeed, the especial aides-de-camp of the chateau. The ink was not dry upon the act of the KING'S abdication ere Messrs. LIADIERES and GoURGAUD sent in their names and offers of service to the Hotel de Ville. We need not give the list of marshals who followed the example. The civilians emulate the men of war. Throughout all the departments of the state there has not been one single resignation. Not one coun cillor of state, not one judge, one attorney or advo cate-general, has budged, or refused the most un pleasant duties. The act of accusation against Messrs. GUIZOT and DUCHATEL has received the signatures of the very law officers whom they appointed, that of the noble president, SIGUIER, included. The repub lican ministers have of course their friends and fol lowers to place; but no one seems willing to make place for them. And the complaint of those person ages who have become the ministers of the emetile, is, not that they inspire terror, or that they meet with dissaffection, but, on the contrary, that they are overpowered with caresses and assurances of adhesion and affection. If Louis PHILIPPE had an objection to monarchy surrounded ...it'd by republican institutions, his sue,— v ect to a republic worked by monarchic function aries. Still never were people more anxious to avoid giving pain than the republicans of the Pro visional Government. Not only have they abo lish% d the penalty of death and prohibited duelling, but they shrink from inflicting the pains of dismissal. The republican party itself, however, has a very natural love of office; and accordingly its members have little trouble to discover and point out the foibles and/ilex-pas in the character and career of each occupant of place. The new French ministers are thus favoured with biographies of all their exist ing employls, which are embarrassing, as well us amusing and instructive. This constitutes very serious comedy—a comedic &intrigue. But in us, curious spectators of a great revolution and its results, it does excite laughter. Wherever, indeed, the eye penetrates, or the at tention is fixed, there the comic predominates. It is heightened by the contrast presented between tha t luxurious splendour with which the functionaries of the late government surrounded themselves, and the very simple wants and formalities of their present I successors. The late l'refet, M. 1)e RAMBUTEAU, exhausted all that luxury could imagine or expense procure on his apartments at the Hotel de Ville, which resembled more the palace of a satrap than of I a municipality. The Provisional Government are now installed in them, and were at first crowded and'! hustled by the mob from roam to room, till they were nearly stifled in a boudoir of the late Prefet. They have now taken better care, and only receive deputa tions. But these ate quite numerous and noisy and uncouth enough to contrast with the tranquil magni ficence of the late occupant. At the Luxembourg the contrasts are even greater, M. DUPONT DE L'Eutte has established himself in the apartments of NI. PASQUIEIt, whilst the new governor, BARBEP, just released from ten or fifteen years of close imprisonment, avenges himself on the place of his trial and imprisonment. Ile has rased the prison, thrown open the gardens, and installed the operatives of the capital in the Chamber of Peers to devise with M. Louis 13Lese the best rules for the organisation du travail. The ex-chamber of Peers was a mockery as a legis lative assembly. Consisting of old functionaries and nominees of the court, it merely echoed the King's wishes, with the exception of one or two voice!, M. LOUIS BLANC'S wit enagemot of operatives presents an extreme of another colour. So true it is that one extreme produces another. The Tuileries are the scene of a metamorphosis still more singular. The band that took the palace have conceived an affection for it, and have deter mined to keep their quarters there permanently. Much more harm they cannot do than has been done, in the way of destruction. And they are allowed to lie and keep guard in the midst of the ruins of furniture and the relics of splendour. The Provisional Government has spent a world of coaxing to get these fellows out; but they imitate the function aries of the late government, declare themselves ina moribles and refuse to evacuate. Many of them accoutred in a strange assortment of original rags, with the finery of the royal household. And the present garrison of the '1 uileries furnishes a collec tion of revolutionary portraits and costumes which passes the imagination of the caricaturist. One can afford to be amused at the sight; for these men are no longer the sanguinary sans-colottes of the old revolution. There is nothing ruffianly about them, save dirt and rags, and they seem to have foresworn repine, violence, and war. 'fhe provisional sovereigns of this revolutionised people displayed their majesty in public on Saturday. They marched on foot and in line at the head of the funeral procession of the victims of the late struggle, and were attended by all the great bodies of the state, the judges, the councilors, the learned of the institutes all the notabilities, in fact, who were wont to pay their respects at the Tuileries, came just as ready on Sunday to attend the popular levee on the Boulevards. It was a rich piece of comedy that same funeral procession ; and so was each face that figured in it. No ceremony could be colder or more silent as long as it remained in the more genteel and wealthy part of the town; but as it advanced through the more populous quarters, the acclamations of the people rose, the national guards responded with songs, and the appearance of enthusiasm was got up. Never was a popular ceremony so like a court one in coldness. The countenance and appearance of the members of the Provisional Government, too, were scanned much as those of the princes used to he. No one could say but that the republic, represented by the portly - Lei:mu ROLLIN, was of prosperous complexion. LAMARTINE looked proud and spiritual, as one of his own Girondins. Great interest certainly attached to this rank of bold men who have for the moment the fate not only of thirty millions of Frenchmen, but of the millions of Europe besides on their hands, with the most terrible risks before them if they fail. How ever comic the service, there is a deep underplot of tragedy beneath, which, we trust, may long— any for ever lie dormant. Advises from Italy report that an immense excite ment was produced by the news from Paris, although the actual result was still but imperfectly known, and it was supposed that a regency was still possible. At Turin the infantry were called to the citadel, to aid in making cartridges. Two new contingents were called under arms. The national guard was called out. The Augaburgh Gazette, under date of Vienna, Feb. 25, says: " Letters from Italy give accounts of revolutionary scenes on all sides. Blood has flowed at Bergamo, and disturbances have taken place at Cremona. At the theatres the Austrian officers were thrown from the boxes into the pit. At Placentia several arrests took place at the theatre, all those ar rested had loaded pistols in their pockets." Letters from Lombardy state that the excitement at Pavia was very great on the arrival of the news of the French revolution, and that the troops fraternised with the people, who elected a provisional govern ment. It was also stated that the students of the university had joined the movement, which it was said that the Hungarian troops,. in the service of Austria, commenced. The same accounts state that the mercantile body in Milan unanimously refused to take the paper money of the Vienna Bank, and to have any connection with Trieste. The government thrown inte the greatest em o."..emedt, At Venice, the imperial snuff factory has been stopped, in consequence of the determined refusal of the Italians to support this imperial mo nopoly, which brings in a large revenue. The Sardinian Government was preparing to de mand of Austria the removal of her troops from Parma, while Austria, on the other hand, was remon strating against the liberal measures of Sardinia.

It is announced that the entire personel of the corps diplomatique will be changed. I stated yesterday that the Duke d'Harcourt, or Citoyen d'Harcourt, as I he is now called, would go as ambassador to London. One of the journals of this morning says that his des tivation will be Madrid. I have no reason to retract I my statement of yesterday. It is said that the Citoyn de Boissy (late Marquis) will go as ambassador to Rome, and General Thiard to Berne. Twelve thousand five-franc pieces, bearing the name and emblem of the republic, will be issued from the mint to-day. As a specimen of the principles of commercial communism which the revolution is rapidly establish ing, our correspondent translates from La Presse a document, by which the proprietors of that journal announce their adoption of the principle of allowing all persons they employ to share in common with themselves the profits of the property. This has already been done by the directors of the Great Northern Railway. " There is," he adds, "another feature by which this revolution is contrasted with that of 1789, and distinguished from, if not opposed to, that of 1930 . The people, reputed rceptics and scoffers. have placed the revolution of 1848 under the safeguard of the altar. In the sack of the palaces, the chapels and the oratories were held inviolable. A crucifix picked from the floor of a bedroom, was borne with reverence to the Church of SL Koch, and the crowd of insurgents as they deposited it in the temple ac i knowledged on their knees the divinity of the Saviour." The l'rovisional Government have publicly called on the clergy of all denominations to invoke the bene diction of the most high 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. Letters from Neufchatel, of the 2nd instant, supply the particulars of the revolution, which we announced yesterday as having taken place in that principality. It will be remembered that Neufchatel, one of the cantons of the Swiss confederation, has not been like all the others, a republic, but was a principality, of which the King of Prussia was the hereditary sovereign. The revolution, which had been for some time fore seen as an inevitable result of the impolitic measures of Prussian Government, broke out on March 1. From 1,200 to 1,500 men entered it in the evening : they were the patriots of Chaux de Fouds. They entered in the most perfect order and with out any effusion of blood. The populace received them with cries of " Switzerland for ever." The Republic for ever." "The Confederation for ever." The government was without sup port, the different populations of the canton on whose fanaticism it relied did not answer to their summons. The patriots of I,oele, of Val de Travers, and of Vignolle, arrived and sent some parties to dis arm some villages whose opinions were suspected. The federal flag was hoisted, and now floats on all the towers of Neufchatel. A provisional govercment, composed of the most influential persons, has been formed. The members of the former government having refused to resign, have been arrested, a mea sure rendered necessary by the fear of a re-cation on the part of the troops who have been dismissed. Two federal commissioners, delegated by the Vorort, M. Schneider and de Nidan, Counsellor of State and Vice-President of the Diet, and M. Migy, a judge, have arrived at Neufchatel, and have acknowledged the Provisional Government ALGIERS.—We have received the Moniteur Al gerien of the 29th ult. It contains an announcement, by the Governor General the Duke d'Aumale, of the news received front Paris. There aro two notices. The first is of a despatch dated Paris on the afternoon of the 24th viz., toe abdication of the King, and the nomination of the Duchess d'Orleans as regent, with ' the following note: The Governor-Oeneral knowing the patriotism of all, adds nothing to this news. Nothing can change our duties, or affect our duties to France.—H. D'ORLEANS.—Algiers, Feb. 27. The second notice says : The Govenior-General has not received from France any offi.ial communication; but he is informed that the follow ing dcspalea has been addressed to all the prefects and sub-prilects. (Here the Governor-General publishes a ' despatch, announcing the formation of the Provisional Go yeniment.) The Governor. General can only repeat what he said yesterday; nothing is changed in our duties towards France; the population and the army will wait with the greatest calm tor the orders of the mother country. Algiers, Feb. 28, ten at night. H. D'ORITANS. FUNERAL OF THE VICTIMS OF THE THREE DAYS OF FEBRUARY. A mostimposing spectacle was on Saturday presented to the view of the population of Paris. The funeral honours were paid to the citizens who died for liberty on the days of the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th of February. It is almost impossible to form an idea of the immense concourse of people at tracted by this sad solemnity. The National Guard was on foot, augmented by citizens, without uniform, who had hastened to have their names inscribed on the civic lists. With this guard marched detachments of the line, of the Dragoons, of the Artillery, of the Cuirassiers. There were hundreds of deputations of every profession—of the press, of the schools, all the high constituted bodies of the magistrature, of science, of arts. and of letters. At noon, the provisional go vernment arrived from the town hall, followed by an immense cortege. The funeral service was then commenced at the church of the Madeliene, where the different deputations had already taken their places. An immense catafalque surrounded with tripods, on which were burning pale dames, occupied the centre of the church. Divine service was celebrated with pomp by a numerous clergy. The artists of the 'lyric theatres had been invited to this ceremony they performed, en clear, the Marmillaire, a piece from Guillaume Tell, a passage from the Creation of Haydn—a chorus of Noise. he Orpheonists and the Children of Paris (two musical so cieties) were likewise heard. At two o'clock the service was over, and the cortege began to march on to the column of July, at the Beside, by the line of the Boulevards. The dejfle lasted two hours; the top of the cortege reached the Bastile at three o'clock. Nothing can enable those who were not present at this astonishing manifestation to form an idea of the spectacle we have just witnessed. The windows, the roofs of houses, the pavements, even the highway of the Boulevards, were crowded with citizans, who idated the collie with their ' cries and viva,. At every step were to be seen groups of spectators mounted on ladders supported against the tree', and upon public coaches, suddenly transformed iato hills of heads. The entbueisera of the population bore, however, a grave, reflective character. The people then proved them selves to be that people who comprehend the full gravity of the act they have just accomplished, and who intend to pur sue its consequences in all their legitimate rigour. The greatest order, moreover, prevailed throughout, not witbstaading the total absence er au armed force ; fur the National Guards, infantry, sad cavalry who were present, were there only to take a share in the ceremony, to figure in the cortege, and the people were abandoned to themselves. And yet we have net to deplore a single accident, for not even the most trifling one took place in this immense con course of 600,000 citizens, in a line of about a league in for the general arming of the people, which will have the faculty of choosing its leaders; 2,000 stand of arms for the citizens of Wiesbaden ; entire liberty of the press ; convocation of a German parliament ; an oath to the constitution to be taken by the troops; right of meeting ; public and oral trial by jury ; de claration that the domain belonging to the state shall be under the control of the administration of the states of the duchy. Immediate convocation of the second chamber, for the purpose of forming a new electoral law on the basis that eligibility is not depen dent on wealth, and suppression of restrictions on re ligious liberty. As for Hesse Cassel, accounts from llanau of the lit inst. state that the French news had caused some agitation, but nothing in the shape of a revolution. At Hamm itself on the lot, a meeting had been held, where it was decided to send a petition to the Elec tor, demanding a new ministry, the dissolution of the present chamber, the convocation of a new one, and the liberty of the press. Accounts from Stuttgard of the 2nd say that the committee of the states had, on the let inst., pre sented the following address to the King of Wur- length. We will not again mention the order of the cortege; we gave it yesterday; we will only add, that with the exception of a little inevitable confusion, so natural is such a ceremony, Prepared in the space of two days, it arrived without the least impediment at the Bastille, to the cries , of " Vire la Republique," singing the airs of the Marseillaise and the Girondinr, and with the symphonies of the bands of the national guard and of the different regiments of cavalry. which closed the march. That'part of the cortege in which were placed the friends of the victims, particularly attracted the attention of the crowd; and great and general feeling was attracted on beholding the widows, the childr,n ' and the mothers weeping for the sons they had lost, attired in deep mourning, and shedding tears over what had constituted the glory of the country and caused the triumph of liberty; sad for what caused the joy of all, struck in their a ff ections—in their families—by • misfortune which caused the happiness of France!! Poor widows, poor children, whom the nation has adopted. At three o'clock, the head of the cortege reached the co lumn of July, and was received by General Subervic, • member of the Provisional Government, and Minister of War, who had repaired from the Madeleine to the Bastille, separately, accompanied by the venerable Dupont (de l'Eure). It was four o'clock when the clergy were seen to advance, preceding the hearses which contained sixteen victims. The ' troops presented arms, and the clergy descended into the vaults of the oolumn, where 148 coffins had already been de posited in the morning. We cannot sufficiently admire the religions silence which the immense mass of the curious, who tilled up the Boule vards and the Place of the Beeline, preserved during the painful and imposing spectacle. The members of the Pro visional Government followed. It was with grief we re marked the absence of M. de Lamartine, compelled by extreme fatigue to remain at home. The cortege was ranged round the column, adorned with tri-coloured flames and funeral flags. M. Dupont (de l'Eure) advanced, and pronounced with • firm voice the following words: Citizens,—lt is with the deepest affliction I raise my voice to accomplish this sad duty. But nobody more than myself can feel the want of paying to the glorious victims of our revolution that tribute of gratitude which is due to them. My strength will not allow me do so, in a manner equal to my wishes and to their merits • I leave that duty to my colleagues, who will acquit themsel ves beater than I can of so noble a task. But before I cease to speak let me be allowed to deposit a crown upon the coffins which inclose the remains of the martyrs of liberty. Long live the Republic.' (Long live the Republic. Loag live Dupont de l'Eure.) M. Cremieux then expressed himself as follows " Citizens,—Behold the sun of the republic ! He comes in all his majesty to shed from above his flames upon these great and glorious funerals. (Bravo.) Let ns bend with grief before tae coffins of those brave citizens who died heroically for our liberty, We owe them an eternal debt of gratitude, and they ought to live for ever in the memory of posterity, for they fell for the cause of that republic which was the object of our most lively wishes, of our most ardent hopes, for that republic which was proclaimed but a few days back in the name of the sovereign people. (Applause.) The people! We have known what they are twice in the space of fifty years : or, rather, we imagined we knew what they were ; but we did not know the courage, patriotism,and generosity which breathed in its every member. Three days sufficed for :hem to show us what they are when rallied be neath a noble flog—for the people have their flag also. The flag of the soldier is • flag of glory ; the flag of the people is an idea—liberty. (Bravo.) It was then to acquire this precious liberty that the brave the country now weep for gave their life. Let public gratitude join me in the cry, Honour to the heroes who died for liberty. (Immense applause.) In 1789, at this very place, the Bastille was taken ; in 1830, the Column of Liberty was given to us. This day we have founded the republic. Such is the gra dation. This will be the last revolution. Let us hope so ; and our descendants will preserve the pious remembrance of those citizens who have secured to Prance a republican go vernment. Citizens! what elcquence would be neceasary to express the feelings which animate you all! Let your applause do what I cannot, and express it for me. (Loud exclamations of " Bravo.") Among the ancients some men were signalised by their courage and patriotism. In France, at Paris, it is the whJle population we must admire, the people who love their country with such ardent love, and who, on the morrow of a Victor!, resume their labours, as if to say to us, "We have founded our liberty, it is for you to preserve it." (Very well, very well.) Consequently, citizens, the republic must ever be grateful to those citizens to'whom we owe our republic, and on every anniversary let those who govern the country come to the foot of this column to cry, ' Honour to the founders and martyrs of the republic!'" (Bravo! Long live the re public! Long live Cremieux !) Mr. Gamier Pages then spoke to the following effect: " The government we have expelled had adopted for its basis the worship of a single man, and they leaned for sup port upon corruption. You have not forgotten all the scandal which has afflicted France. Let us remember, it, citizens, that every one may . the better comprehend the duties of a free nation. The justice of the people has taken for its motto these three great words, liberty, equality, and frater nity ; that gyvernment which plants such colours must be groi.ndesi upon morality, pureness, and justice." (Bravo! Long live Grimier Pages!) M. Crustier Paste;: No, long live the republic! And all voices exclaimed, " Long live the republic." After some warm expressions of a combatant of July, M. Dupont (de l'Eurle) said with emotion: Eternal honour to the glorious victims of the revolution of July ! Viva la republique I The members of the Provisional Government retired amidst acclamations. The cortege continued to defile during an hour in admirable order. At the moment when the members of the Provisional Go- vernment re-entered the Hotel de Ville, escorted by the national guard, the pupils of the Ecole Polyteehnique and St. Cyr, and a numerous assemblage of citizens, M. Marie thus addressed them: " Citizens,—We have accomplished a great and glorious day. To-day we have placed ourselves on the immoveable base of the republic that we have conquered by your power and your courage. After having honoured those who have died fur liberty, let us apply ourselves to render our republic great and powerful. Citizens: We again enter this Mote. de Ville a faithful witness of the revolutions which have agitated France, the seat of a new revolution. Hereafter it will unite to the majesty of its recollections the grandeur of a revolution accomplished by the people and for the people. Now let us separate, citizens. Receive our thanks. The calm, the grandeur of our assembly of to-day will be an ad ditional pl.dge of those principles of order which are the solid and durable foundation of the now republic." temberg : Sire,—At a moment when the most serious events shake Europe to its centre, we think it our duty to draw near your Majesty, in the name of the people, whose constitutional representatives we are, and to give you the assurance that the King can depend upon the concourse of his people to preserve order and legality, and to protect the country against every enemy. 'The people look up to their King as well as their representatives, for in their union they find the guarantee, and the happy solution of those difficulties upon which their welfare depends. We well know that your Majesty is fully determined to fulfil your share of this arduous task, and to secure to yourself the affeetien and confidence of your people, by your devotedness to popular interests. It cannot escape the penetration of your Majesty that the frontiers of Germany are to danger; that they require to be protected, and that the most solid rampart of a state is national union; on the confidence of this union depends the safety of the state. The present organisation of the Germanic Diet has not awakened these feelings. May the wise inspirations of your Majesty awake a national feeling, and give an impulse towards the development both of the national liberty and of the national feelings of Germany. The speech from the i crown promised us the liberty of the press, the realisation will be a tie more which will bind the throne and people. We also demand the free assemblies of the clubs, without the previous authorisation of the police; and the arming ef the citizens.—Stuttgard, Feb. 29. (Here follow the signa tures.) The committee were most graciously received by the King. Next day en extraordinary supplement of the Swabian Mercury published a decree in which it wag declared tha— t. The censorship on the press, established by the ordonnance of October, 1819, is abolished. 2. Consequently, until the Germanic Diet shall have published a decree regulating the affairs of the press, all the dispositions of the law on the liberty of the press of January, 1817, will come in force. 3. In the meanwhile, a project will shortly be pre sented to the states, in which a more expeditious pub lic and oral proceeding with regard to matters tipper taining to the press will be recommended. From Carleruhe we have also news to the 2nd it'd. IL Beck, the Minister of the Interior of the Grand Duchy of Baden, has published the following pro clamation :- 1. The censorship of the press is abolished. 2. The national guard will be immediately or wise 3. The government will submit to the chamber a ilaw establishing trial by jury. ' By this proclamation the ministry has granted all that the people demanded. Independently of these concessions the Grand Duke has called to his councils M. Welker ' the leader of the constitutional opposi tion, who has demanded the creation of a Gcruaan parliament, instead of the I fief. The Grand Duke of Baden published on the 2nd inst. the following proclamation : Lzoeohn, &c.—The grave events which have recently occured cannot fail to have an influence on existing social order. Never was the necessity of union between the go- vernment and the states, between the prince and the people, more urgent to oppose with one consent the enemies of our constitutional liberty and 'oriel condition, as they exhibit themselves either at home or abroad. In such a moment demagogue. of all kinds are not wanting. Under the pre text of liberty they preach a license which is the destruction of all liberty. I know that many citizens, well intentioned whatever may be their political opinions, are fearful that this may lead to some movement of anarchy, that in our country, hitherto so peaceable, the criminal intentions of some and the *eduction of others, may bring about a revolu tion and attempts against property and other constil tutional rights. In these grave circumstances, I address myself with the most entire confidence, and with all the force of my old affections, which have never failed, to my people, who, in happy and in adverse times, have given me so many roofs of therel ye and fidelity. 1 address myst If to all those who respect order, right, and true liberty, and in. site them to co-operate with me to maintain order, pro perty, and constitutional liberty, those precious possetaiona which it is my duty as well as my firm resolution to sustain, and, at the lame time, to support all loyal citizens in their efforts to crush, by all legal means, all criminal sits mots. It is to you, my dear people of Auden, to give the example of a people who progress happily in the legal development of liberty and in the maintenance of order. You will give, I am sure, this noble example. From Darmstadt, under the date of the 2d instant, we learn that the deputation from Mayenee, having presented its petitions to the second chamber of the grand duchy, bad left Darmstadt with the conviction that the prayer contained therein would be acceded to. The propositions presented to the Chamber of Deputies are—that the Government be invited to claim from the Diet the organisation of a central go vernment for Germany, and a German national repre sentation. The same desires have been expressed at Wurtemberg, as may be seen by the petitions lately presented to the Chamber of Deputies. The peti tioners make the following demands: — A general armanent of the people, with the election of their own officers. A German parliament, freely elected by the people. Every Gcrinan of 21 years to have a vote as pri mary elector, and also eligible as elector. An elector to be chosen for every 1,000, and for every 100,000 a deputy.
