Owing however to the dulness prevalent in the tena Liverpool, end the difficulty in effecting local sales of the manufactured article, the value of Wheat has been only supported, and we have no advance to notice in prices. In prepared Wheat we have nothing doing. Barley is the turn dearer. Oats, also, for the reasons adverted toted week, are in fair demand, at an improvement of '25. to 3d. per barrel.

'Mimi discontent with the existing system of impe rial government springs from two causes, and is fo mented by two very dissimilar sets of men. The mass of the community are impressed with the belief that their country's wretched condition is the result of legislative error and neglect. They &Mend for Ire land "a parliament of her own" mainly because they imagine that in an assembly whose members would all peaces the means of local information, and whose attention would be undistracted by the investigation and adjustment of other important interests, more watchful care would be taken of their peculiar wants, and less delay and disappointment arise in the dui. consideration of their wish. Right or wrong, such is the conviction of millions: right or wrong, such a conviction is a pregnant fact, which ought not lightly to be disregarded. It is easy to call the cry for repeal absurd and abortive. The cry may be so ; but what is its cause? This is the question that aeeds an ens tier—a fearless, just, and speedy one. It were both impolitic and wrong to disregard it. Were there not a certain truth in the popular complaint of imperial misrule and neglect, the shout for repeal would have died away long years ago, as casual and capricious ow cries ever do. Nor can the staunchest friend of the union seriously maintain that, measured by the past, it has made goad the promise of its authors, or realised the happy anticipations that were entertained regarding it. Physically, the condition of the country has no doubt improved. In respect of education much has been done. But neither politi cal nor municipal franchises have yet been granted to the people of Ireland as they have been to the people of Great Britain ; and the stiil more urgent and important exigency of industrial life—the power of acquiring and the right of securely cultivating the soil—remains still unprovided for in any essential degree. Repeal would be a bad and a fatal remedy ; but assuredly the imperial system of legisla tion for Ireland cannot be changed too soon. There is, however, another and we fear a growing source of alienation and distrust. The upper classes have in Ireland never joined in the agitation which O'CONNELL led ; and they are still lea disposed to enlist under the banner of the United Irishman. But discontent amongst them is not therefore the less prevalent or profound. Coming more into daily con tact with the subordinate functionaries by whom each department of the stave is manned, their feelings and dispositions are necessarily influenced to a great ex tent by the manner in which they are treated. We speak not now peculiarly of the landed proprietary ; but of all those —including the professional and other educated classes—who are called upon to take a certain part in local public affairs. Such m en r are naturally attached to order , a nd habitually rink fom anything calculated to disturb the stability of property. Hence, if for ne other reason, their indite. mention to coalesce under any circumstances with the popular agitators, and their readiness to support the law whenever its authority has been seriously put in jeopardy. But loyalty is one thing, and content with a particular system is another. There are many of the best men in Ireland who would cheerfully rally round the throne, or arm in defence of the realm, whose confidence is nevertheless shaken in the equity of imperial rule as developed in more than one execu tive department, and whose patience is well nigh ex hausted by the unrebuked demeanour of those to whom too great and unchecked powers have been devolved. Of the many instances of this sort of thing which recur unbidden to our recollection, none is so well worthy of notice, because none is at the present moment so important, as that of the Irish poor-law. Of the supercilious ignorance and costly blunders of Mr. Ntettou.s, by whom the original ground plan of the scheme was laid, it is needless here to speak. Of all his rash and ridiculous calculations not one remains unfalsifled by lamentable experience ; and of the absolute failure of his successors to manage the vast mechanism of Irish poor relief as a sub-department of Somerset house, the act of 1847, by which the English and Irish commissions were entirely severed, is the most emphatic record. But being severed, one might have reasonably expected that at the head of each would be placed a man of experience and judgment ; a man who not only undirstood thoroughly the com prehensive and considerate spirit of the law ho was to administer, but the temper ar.d disposition of these by whose unrequited aid its provisions were to be locally carried out. For England such a choice was made. We have not heard an objection raised n any quarter worthy of remembrance, to the appoint ment of Mr. CHARLES BULLER—a man qualified not merely by the possession of distinguished talents, but a man recognised by all as gifted with that tact and discrimination which is so essential to the efficient performance of varied civil duties. Very different was the selection marle,—if, indeed, selection there WAS any made at all—for Ireland. And the results of the two nominations already show the difference in the men. Mr. BULLER, as far as we know, has of fended nobody and has kindled no new quarrels ; Mr. Twtstero:s has rendered himself the most thoroughly unpopular man in Ireland, and from the resentment and aversion engendered by his brief attempt at ad ministration, the law itself is already placed in • position which no rational man can look upon without feelings of the gravest migiving and regret The whole character of framed by the legislature , is changed. The elective guardianship of the poor is rap idl y ceasing to exist. A power of suspending boards of guardians for obsti nate and flagrant disregard of their duty was con ferred by the act of last session on the poor law commissioners. It was obviously intended es a dernier reuort when all other RIMS should THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 27, 1848. fail ; and to be rendered safe or useful, it should manifestly have been used most forbearingly and rarely. The whole vitality of the system de pends on the principle of self-taxation. There may be, and no doubt there are, cases where, from a pecu liar combination of circumstances, this principle could not, with due regard to the pressure of disease and want, be adhered to ; but any attempt to sub stitute generally the paid nominees of the commis sioners for the elected boards of guardians, must be regarded as alike unconstitutional and imprudent, — as wholly at variance with the intention elf the legis lature, and certain top roduce the greatest evils. Y such is the wild and perilous course which Mr. TWISLETON seems bent upon. Between thirty and forty boards of guardians have already been summarily cashiered. Their sins and offences are all duly chronicled in the blue books, relating to distress and relief, of which five have been during the present session laid before parliament. In some few instances we frankly own we cannot condemn the dismissal of the boards, and substitution of vice-guardians. But in the majority of eases we think a different line ought to have been pursued ; and in almost all, the tone of domineering and flippant command, the offensive terms of menace, and the supercilious air of absolute wisslom which the official correspondence betrays, cannot be regarded by any impartial mind with approbation. Mr. TWISLETON has the reputation of being a clever man, and we are willing to believe that he is an upright one. But scholarship, quickness, and integrity are not enough to fit a man for the exercise of unlimited power over the lives and properties of a whole people. Common sense is a better thing in the main than smartness; and a considerate and forbearing manner is of real importance in times and circumstances like those in which Ireland is placed. It is in vain that Lord CLARENDON seeks to disarm hostility by unexampled patience, and that the other members of the Irish executive wisely and worthily imitate his example, if their subordinates, the beads of each department, are suffered to assume towards rich and poor alike a demeanour at once injurious and offen sive. If the boards of guardians are ill constituted by law, let the law be altered. If the ex officio element pre ponderates too much, let the balance be redressed. If the unions be too large, IA them be re-distributed. But if Ireland is to be governed by law, let it be known and maintained ; and let neither rich nor poor be compelled to feel that they are subject to the caprice of any subaltern functionary. - - Tne p reserving of game and the sport of &Wats form certainly an item of that saperfia st necessaire which English gentlemen cannot live with out, but which most indubitably they must manage to prepare and enjoy for themselves out of cultivated and populous districts. Lout; XIV., Louis XV., and their generals, thought they could not live with out a theatre and a corps dramatique in attendance, and they were accordingly accompanied by such into campaigns and actions. A coach full of actresses in the middle of the defeat of Roebach was certainly not more preposterous and absurd, than your " English gentleman," with his pheaaant-cover and his posse of gamekeepers, in the midst, haps, , of a manufacturing and populous district. per mire sport, and love the drama ; but if one or the other is to be preserved, it must be by keeping them in their proper places. Nothing could have been more able than Mr. BRIGHT'S denunciation of the game laws, more masterly than his exposition of their fatal consequences. But we mast own, that, for the good success of the anti-game law agitation, we should wish to see it taken up by philanthropic country gentlemen. The squires may with sonic justice consider Mr. BRIGHT, clothed as he is, an in truder into their copses, and as one who condemns a lordly pleasure because he does not understand, and therefore cannot sympathise with it. It is like a lady author denunciating the use of that noxious weed, to bacco, of the delight of which her sex is denied the dulcet experience. Less puritanism and extrava gance in the denunciation of the game laws would perhaps be more effectual in putting them down. Mr. PAGE WOOD, for example, made a very able speech; but then he recommended that coentry gentlemen should be denied the right of shooting, in order that they might give the time thus spared to the cultiva tion of their intellects. We fear that, however philan thropic, Lis recommendation was merely a very im pertinent interference with a man's personal liberty. If the tenant claims at right to kill hares, surely the squire may plead his inlienable claim to kill time, and in his own way. But if the antagonists of the game laws thus go somewhat beyond the advisable and the rational in the prosecution of a cause which really demands but the simplest logic and the plainest statement to en force it, the game law sticklers set up the most monstrous absurdities in defence of their super annuated rights and feudal pleasures. Sir GEORGE.STRICKLAND, for example, said he was no preserver of game, because he was fond of husbandry, and he fully admitted that game preserv ing and Food farming were inconsistent things ; but he said if the game laws were repealed there would be " nothing less than a state of anarchy in the rela tions of landlord and tenant." He did not explain the meaning—perhaps he could not attach a definite meaning— to that tremendous contingency ; but the sentiment was loudly cheered by protectionist farmers' friends on the left of the SPEAKER'S chair. We appre hend this "anarchy " to be simply that the tenant would be free from that feudal superiority on the part of his landlord which the reservation of the right "to hawk, hunt, and shoot " over his farm implies. Now, this is just what farmers complain of. Game reserved may be a mere nominal assertion of feudalism, or an utter bar to profitable cultivation, at the caprice of the landowner. And this badge of feudal privilege the corn-growing Sir GEORGE STRICKI.AND would retain with no less tenacity than the game-preserving Col. SiuTnoßP. Sir GEORGE GREY covered the squires' code with his official protection, though the arguments by which he helped them through this time are not likely to pro mote the stability of the system. He said the evils so forcibly pointed out by Mr. Baton arose, " not so much from the game laws as from the great accumu lation of game . And then he went on to condemn Wives, in terms as strong as any opponent of the game system could desire. After admitting to the full the extent of injury game preservation causes to agriculture, the Home SECRETARY adopted the un worthy plea that the food consumed by game was not waste, because the creatures themselves were used for human food! He added: "The real evil was, that this game, used as food by one man, was maintained out rf the property of another." Could Mr. BRIGHT give utterance to a more complete condemnation of the game system than the HOME SECRETARY'S apology ? The came law is in fact treated by ministers and by the squirearchy much in the same manner as the property tax. The ultra-squirearchy exclaim in both instances, tax, exclude, and punish the lower and middle classes : we were bora to be exempted. The more liberal and official squirearchy admit the grie vance, but allege that whatever is proposed would do more harm than good, and that, let the evil alone, it will cure itself. Then come ministers, who also admit the grievance, but who de clare their utter incapacity to grapple with it. Lord JOHN RUSSELL could not undertake to prepare an equable income or property tax, not in a years time ; and Sir GEORGE Gam would not face the Herculean task of a trespass law that would be efficient after the repeal of the game laws. Were there upon the doors of the cabinet about one thou sandth part of that pressure from without, which is giving ouch sudden activity, liberality, and capacity to foreign sovereigns and ministers, Lord JOHN would soon improvise an equable income tax—we under take that he could do it in ten minutes ; and Sir GEORGE GREY in half an hour would solve the in superable enigma of trespass law and game law. But it is not ignorance or incapacity that paralyses minis ters, but the predominance of the landed interest in • one house of parliament, and its exclusive possession j , of the other. DENMARK. The Deutsche Allgemeine &dung of the 24th has the following :—" Altana, March 19.—Schleswig Holstein has followed the German movement. The deputies of both duchies met yesterday in the castle of Rensberg, and agreed to send a deputation to Copenhagen, and also to appoint a committee of their own body to treat. One of these conditions is, that Schleswig be declared to belong to the German con federation, and Rensberg to be a German garrison. Should the King refuse, a republic will be proclaimed. The military have signed the petition to the King. town and the citadel. The admiral has recalled the Rodney and Vanguard from Corfu, to join him at Palermo. Some excesses were committed in Catania. Two of the late agents of police were decapitated, and their heads paraded about the streets on poles. This led to a remonstrance from all the foreign consuls there, and backed by a strong letter from Com. Moore, of her Majesty's brig Harlequin, induced the commit tee of üblic safety to issue stringent orders, and take secure p measures, to prevent a repetition of such shameful acts. The Terrible steamed off to the ad miral immediately after theme ust arrived. The Queen, 110, is daily expecee from Lisbon ; she will join Admiral Parker immediately. The Neapolitan steamer which arrived this morning from Baja, has brought about sixty Jesuits, who have been banished from Naples." foes, under the protection of the citizens and inhabi. tante of Berlin. It also states that the King b e g as dered that the pledges not exceeding 5 thalers in th e pawnbroking establishments should be given up au the cost of the Treasury. A committee had besq formed for receiving donations on behalf of those who were wounded, and of the widows and children of the slain in the recent events. At a large public meeting held at Cologne petition was adopted in favour of the gene. rat arming of the people, with the liberty e t choosing their own leaders, and of the immediate declaration that the ftanehise will be based on numerical representation, and that all persons above 21 years of age, and in possession of their ride rights, are eligible as members of the diet and the communal corps. On POLAND. the night of the 20th, the houses of several min ,racturers of Crefeld were attacked by the popul ace , and the furniture destroy - ed. Numerous towns are raising subscriptions for the families of the persons who tell during the recent insurrection, or rather revolution, in Berlin. Heir Camphausen, the in !Nato minister of flme; left Cologne yesterday (2 trh) fur Berlin. Letters from Breslau, dated March rah, give details of the disturbances there. Groups or peopl e had collected on all sides, and the inhabitants were to have beer. convoked on the ensuing day fir the general armament. Several individuals descended the Schweidnetz-street, because it had been said in the town that Count Brandenbourg was giving a soiree in honour of the Princess of Metternich. At later time, another group, principally composed e t well-dressed persons, went to the house of the deles gate of the town, Mr. Lockstadt. On a sudden, W ebers were perceived, but had not till then end* voured to impede circulation. On a signal given by a trumpet, a regiment of curassirrs charged the crowd. Several persons were injured. However, es night had come on the mass withdrew. Tranquillity was restored. Baton the morning of the 17th the in. dignation was more general. The inhabitants had resolved upon arming themselves. A deputation s/ the municipality, accompanied by many of the inha bitants, waited on General Count Brat.denbourg, and on M. de Wedel. The count declared that the charge of the curassiers was the result of a mai entendu, and that an investigation had been commenced against Lieut. de M—, and added that the soldiers should withdraw, unless the inhabitants required their intervention. lie refused to give arms. The inhabitants withdrew. Several of them had arms. A great number of cockades and ribbons, black, red, and gold are seen. Some armourene shops have been emptied by the numerous purchases of arms. At nine o'clock the people demanded that the political prisoners should be set at liberty, more espe. Madly the brothers lloffmann, arrested a few months since. This demand was immediately granted, and at ten o'clock the town was perfectly tranquil. AUS'fItIA.—FORMATION OF THE AUSTRIAN Ca. IHNET.—By a royal rescript of the 17th of this month, his imperial Majesty has been pleased to ap. point Franz Cr unt Von Kolowrat, his Majesty's Minister of State and Conference pro tem., as Prima Minister •, also Count Von Fiquelmont, Minister d Foreign Affairs ; Baron Von Pillersdorf, Lord High Chancellor, Minister of the Interior; Count Val Taffe, Minister of Justice; Baron Von Kubeek, Minister of Finance. His Majesty still reserves to himself the nomination of Minister of War. Fresh troops were continually arriving at Vienna from the neighbouring towns. Great retrenchmeam in the public expenditure are promised by the new ministry. The new Hungarian ministry intends to join Tran sylvania to Hungary. From Presburg, under date March 19, we leers that on the previous day the Diet decreed, by the unanimous vote of both chambers, the immediate abolition of all feudal right over the peasantry. Coln missioners have beer. sent through the country to F. claim their freedom to the peasantry. BADYN.—Some anxiety was felt of the peopled the grand duchy of Baden generally imitating Cos stance, and proclaiming a republic. On this 'died Itztein spoke at the great meeting of Offenburg. Be said, " they had obtained freedom of the press ; they should have the abolition of the Carlsbad, Frankfort, and Vienna decrees, the abolition of feudal rights. Constance had proclaimed a republic, no had system, as he had experienced. And all Germany would ens day be a republic. But the time was not come. If Baden became a republic, whilst the rest of Germany remained monarchic, then France would be more to Baden than Germany. This should not be. Even if all Germany were a republic, except Austin and Prussia, it would not do, and would bend division and civil war. It were better to await tae decision of the congress about to open at Frankfort. It is fully expected in Baden that about' ,000 Ger mans will shortly leave Paris, in order to attempt to establish a republic in that duchy. The meeting, however, at Offenburg, in which the motion in favour' of a republic was negatived, will prevent anythingd this kind. On the other hand, numerous villages re fuse in tofu to pay any more excise duties, and have effectually abolished the game laws. SAXONY.—The new cabinet in Dresden is BOW completed by the appointment of Herr Von Wits dortf as Minister of the Interior, and of Herr Ober hinder as Minister of Public Worship. Coati Lehrbach, from Darmstadt, Baron Gagern, front Wm baden, and Baron Steinfels, from wurtemberg, ha ve arrived here to negotiate that the German Diet be re moved from Frankfort to Dresden. lIANOVER.—The King of Hanover has declared an amnesty for political offenders, including the seem Gottingen professors. Strive is at the head of the new ministry in Hanover. GERMAN DI:CHIES.—The Duke of Brunswick has given in his adhesion to the principles set talk in the King of Prussia's proclamation. His seems highness has ordered 5,000 muskets from England. The sittings of the forthcoming Diet of the duchy will be public. The motion having in view the inducing the government of Hesse-Darmstadt to take steps for liberating Poland has been submitted to the Second Chamber and referred to committee. PROGRESS OF THE REVOLUTION. Our Cologne correspondent, writing from that city, on the 24th, says Some weeks ago I was informed that something was preparing in and fyr Poland, and that the pros:a genda of Paris and Brussels was actively at work. Reserve is no longer necessary. Cracow has ;pro claimed its independence, and re-established its repub lic. Itusahui Poland and Galicia are in open Mim i rection, and the state of Prussian Poland (Silesia), will be ascertained from the following details, gathered from various German journals. It was currently reported, and beliered in Posen, on the:2oth inst., that the King of Prussia had audio• rued the people of that duchy or province to as semble publicly, in order to decide whittling they would remain connected with Prussia er resume their own nationality. This report woo confirmed by the appearance of au extraordinal supplement of the German paper of Posen. Imme- diately after the publication of that supplement 111 the Polish inhabitants hastened to the well-known bazaar, and appointed a deputation to wait on the burgomaster, in order to represent the necessity et, establishing a Polish committee for the purpoec.el preserving order, and also to induce him to recognae the . right of the Poles to hold public immune. Whether, because the report alluded to Nam un founded, or because no instructions from head quarters had yet mired, the military authorities held firm for some hours. They, at last, yielded, eel' allowed the deputation to appoint a provisional Polish committee, and to issue a proclamation drawn up in a Polish patriotic point of view. The military received ordeis to act only on the defensive, and, as if by magic, nearly all 4 10 male inhabitants appeared in the streets with white and red coca/Wes in their hats. The forth coming independence of Polish nationahtl was proclaimed by several popular speakers amidst the enthusiastic shouts of assembled thousands Polish committee is composed of the followi n g mem" bers :—Potworowski, Stefataki, Berwinski, ski, Moraczewski, Andorejski, Kmuthofer, Palaez bled ano Jarochowaki. The commitee immediately assem and issued the following proclamation : the ho ur Ararat POLISH BP.OTHERB,—Y or tts also The unity of Germany is proclaimed.

Polek we who mow our own history and a thoroughly lepaSte THE REPUBLIC OF FRANCE. SATVIDAY, 6 P.M. I regret to have to say that the aspect of affairs here becomes from day to day . more gloomy and dis astrous. What is to be the issue of events exceeds human sagacity to discover. There are no commer- , cial failures of any importance for the last few days. The foreign news is rather favourable than otherwise to the external relations of France, aed yet the funds f e ll considerably to-day. The Threes opening yester day at 50, closed to-day at 445, being a fall of 6 per cent. The Fives opened yesterday at 70, and closed to-day a 645. Bank sham have dropped down to 1,475. The cause of this is something worse than distrust of the present government and the immediate prospects of the country. The principal sellere to-day ut were not those pressed by pecuniary exigency, b wealthy proprietors, and among them numerous English holders, who sold from utter despair of the situation of the country. That a struggle and a speedy one must come, no well-informed person doubts—a struggle not with the partisans of royalty, for they have long since abandoned all hope, but between a republic in which the intelligence and property of the country would be fairly represented and most unmitigated democracy ; between, in tact, the government el intelligence and property and that of the rabble. This will be the struggle, and this struggle is inevitable; its issue no man can tell. In such a state of things foreigners of course are flying from the country by thousands. Those who have something to lose fly to save it ; those who have , nothing but their labour are hunted from it like wild beasts" One of the most monstrous systems of social oppression of which I have had any knowledge is now in operation here. Manufacturers, shopkeepers. masters, and every class of employers are compelled suddenl to discharge frm their service all foreigners, no matter how long the o y may have been resident in France. Meanwhile the Minister of the Interior devotes himself to the invention of measures for the gratui tous amusement of the perpetrators of these offences. We have an ordonnance this morning, signed " Ledru Rollin," in which the government commissary who presides over the Theatre Francais, is ordered to give gratuitous periodical representations for which free tickets are to be sent to the 12 municipalities, the Hotel de Ville, and the Prefecture of Police, to be distributed in the workshops, the clubs, the schools, and to the poorest citizens. T he most eminent artistes are to be engaged for these performances. I am assured that the Provisional Government in tend to support M. Emmanuel Arago in the arbitrary measures adopted by him at Lyons ; and, also, that they intend to back M. Latrade, and force him as commissary on the people of Bordeaux. It is pro bable that this latter move will be resisted by force. The public have been for some time waiting, with a mingled feeling of solicitude and curiosity, to learn what decieion the leaders of the dynastic opposition, and particularly M. Thiers and Odillon Barrot, would take in reference to the approaching elections for the constituent assembly. M. 'Driers has at length broken silence, and has addressed the electors of the depart ment of the Biruchcs de Rhone, whom he has never ceased to represent since 1830. The following address appeared in the leading journals to-day. I thank you, gentlemen, for your remembrance of me and of the services whichl have endeavoured to render to my coun try during eighteen year'. I have as much right, methinks, as my opponents to be chosen by my native department. Per hsps I have shed some lustre upon it; at least, I have served with ardour the cause of order, liberty, and national great ness. It is true that I neither sought nor desired the re public, since, in my opinion, constitutional monarchy sufficed to insure a large degree of liberty. And the state of Eng land during the last two centuries sppeared to me a destiny which France might not disdain. Providence has decided otherwise. I bow to its decrees : and however prepared to resit,: tyranny, I shall never put myself in opposition to the force of things, when manifested by such striking signs. I accept here the republic witti.iut after-thaught, and by so doing I do not mean to disavow any part of my life. During the five years which succeeded 1830, I defended the cause of order. This obtained, I defended the cause of liberty and of national greatness, menaced in turn with peril from royalty, which I shall not insult since it has been pros scribed. I might have gained the good grams of that royalty. I did not seek them, my conviction not according with those of the reigning king. Of eighteen years, I passed twelve in the firmest, mist c instant, and disinterested opposition. Independent of experience, a useful quality for • public man under all selyimer, and especially under new I ones, the members of th e late opposition have claim s on the electors; for if the new republic will only allow those to serve it who were republicans six weeks ago, the republic cannot but be moth isolated. I have, therefore, consented to stand for the deputation, from motives of duty, devotion, honour, not to strive in the national assembly for a die. I pulsed restoration, but to labour honestly to establish the new republic on solid and durable bases, and to defend the essential condition of all society, the existence of the tamily, the rights of property, and liberty of commercial interchange. It is said that explanations or de clarations are expected of me ; that the republicans of yes terday, or of more recent date, find menet republican enough (which I admit in all humility) ; moreover that the cower vatives do not forgive my opposition ; and that the clergy have need of some assurance of my opinion on the subject of education. I answer at once that I disavow none of my former opinions. I have supported the interests of my country, with the measures suitable to our late inetitutione. 1 may yield to other candidates in talent, not i i patriotism; and if lam not elected I shall not feel myself embarrassed in the eyes either of Europe or of France. I beg my friends, therefore, to make no effort for me, no compromise, no eagagement. For if rejected, I shall betake myself with happiness to retirement and to study, to meditate on the eternal laws of human society. which cannot be altered by agitation, and to make vows for France, which I cannot but love the more in proportion to the dangers which beset her. —A. THIERd. An order has been received at Toulon for the squadron to put to sea. It is composed of three ships of the line, several of smaller force, and sailing and steam-frigates. La Republique says the presence of l this force will produce the best effects on the shores of Italy, Africa, and Spain. The Provisional Government has issued a decreel ordering that, as two signatures are necessary for all bills presented to the national discount banks to have money obtained on them, and as the greatest number of small traders and agriculturists cannot easily obtain the second name on their paper, a guarantee bank shall be established in each town where a national discount bank exists, for the purpose of serving as intermediate party between such bank and the traders. The capital of the gua rantee bank is to be raised by joint-stock companies, , and in no case is to be less than 100,000 fr. The business of these guarantee banks is to procure for small traders the discount of their bills' on sufficient security in goods, warrants on bonded goods, &c., being given by the parties demanding assistance. The Provisional Government, taking into considera tion the present embarrassment of commerce, has issued a decree making a temporary reduction in the expense of protesting bills, registration dues, and the emoluments attached to those documents. The reduc tion amounts to about 3d per cent. About 4(8) of the Poles living at Paris assembled yesterday to form the first column for returning to their awn country. They have written to their fel low-countrymen in the provinces to join them either at Paris or at Strasburg. They have made an appeal to the republic of France for a supply of arms. We read in the P«trie of yesterday evening : " At the moment of going to press we were assured that a great movement had taken place at Genoa, and that it had detached itself from S'ardinia, wih the project of contributing to the foundation of an t Italian unity with a republican form of government." GERMANY. By a letter from our correspondent, at Malta, dated March 17, we learn that on the 18th the Locust steamer arrived there from Palermo, Messina, and Syracuse :—" By her we learn that Admiral Parker, was with his squadron, and Lord Tinto, as mediator ' between the King of Naples and the Provisional Oo vernment of Sicily, was on board the Hibernia, to treat with the general committee. The following are the " conditions of peace" proposed by the committee. 1 1. The Neapolitan troops shall evac uate and g ive u p the citadels of Messina and Syracuse, and the parts thereof which command the cities, shall be de- I molished. 2. All the appointments made, and which shall be made, by the general committee, and the other committees in Sicily, shall be confirmed. 3. A fourth part of the fleet, of the arms, and the arsenal, shall be given up. 4. The King shall irrevocably grant the constitution of 1812, with a Sicilian Vice roy, or Prince of the Blood Royal. 5. The minis ters shall meet at Palermo, those of war and foreign affairs included. .The title of King of the kingdom of the Two Sicilies shall be abolished ; for the future it shall be—King of the Two Sicilies. After this was delivered to Lord Minto, a suspension of arms for seven days was agreed upon, and the Locust despatched to Messina with the news. On her arrival, and communicating with the consul and Cwpt. Cod rington, of the Thetis, the firing cowl between the ABDICATION OF THE KING OF BAVARIA.-ACCESSION OF THE CROWN PRINCE. BAVARIA.—We announced exclusively, in the Express on Friday, the abdication of the King of Bavaria, and on Saturday, the accession of the Crown Prince. Direct accounts have been received, up to the 21st, fully corroborai Mg these facts, as the following documents will show. The first of these is the proclamation of King Ludwig, in which he abdicates. Ludwig by the grace of Ged, King of Bavaria, &c.— We have felt ourselves moved to resign our crown in favour of our beloved son Maximilian, and by these presents, give to understand, that from this time forward we will bear the title of Ki"g Ludwig (Majesty), and our well-beloved royal wife that of Queen Theresa (Majesty). The above, our re nunciation, and announcement of future title are made public in our official Ga.:enc.—Given at Muuich, the twen tieth of March, 1848, in the '23rd year of our reign. The King, in abdicating, has addressed the follow ing to his people, being his publicly alleged reason for leaving the throne : LUDWIO.—RUYAL WORDS TO THERAVARIANS.—Bavarians —A new era has begun, and a different direction of affairs inaugurated from that which is contained in the basis of the constitution under which I have reigned now for 23 years. I abdicate in favour of my beloved son, the Crown Prince Maximilian. I reigned true to the constitution, I consecrated my life to the good of my people, and I acted far the goad of the state, as if I had been a magistrate of a free state. I can look io the eyes of each of my people, and give my thanks to all that are attached to me. Though abdicat ing the throne, my heart beats for Bataria and Germany .— Munich, March 20, 1848.—LeDWIO. The accession of the Crown Prince Maximilian is notified in the following patent : We, Maximilian 11., by the grace of God, King of Ba varia, Count Palatine of the 'thine, Duke of Bavaria, Fran conia, and Suabia, tic., greeting: In consequence of our most beloved and most dear father's royal majesty having of his own freewill felt himself moved to resige in our favour; and as by his abdication the kingdom of Bavaria, in the entire extent of its old and new territories has been suc ceeded to by us, is heir to the throne, according to the de finition of the constitution, we hereby assume the throne and the government of the kingdom. As we look to all classes of free citizens and subjects in town and country, and to all holding office in our hereditary states, of whatever proles sio, rank, and substance they may be, to acknowledge us tor o their rightful and only sovereign, and to grar.t to us complete fidelity ; we in return give to understand to the same that we have taken the oath prescribed in the constitu tion, and according to the form therein dictated. lu order that the system of government and justice may proceed uninterrupted, end without detriment to public busi ness, it ii our command that all offices and courts in the kingdom do continue their usual avocations according to their several attributions, seed perform eraser tiff:mita business Ginn henceforth under our name and title, where such is prescribed, but the present seal will be used until a fresh one be got ready. We wish to remind all holding office, of the oath they have taken to the constitution and to the service of the King ; and we look to all classes of our free citizens and subjects on summons being made to them, to be obedient to us as their rightful sovereign ; in return for which we remain, with royal grace and favour, wi ll disposed towards them. — Given in our capital of Munich, in the year 1818.—Maxt- MILIAN. Countersigned, Baron VON THON•DITTNER, Mi ,outer of State, and by royal command the Secretary- General, Baron VON KOBELL. Tne following neat proclamation has also been put forth by the new /Ling of Bavari i : ROYAL WORDS TO THE BATAlLLANS.—Bavarians. — My well beloved father and king has been pleased to transfer the crown to me. I feel deeply the importance of the duties which he thus imposes upeu me. I mount the throne at a time when both internally and externally the greatest agita tion prevails. I trust in the protection of the Almighty God and in my own hon. at will to understand and aecom piish the necessities of the time. Truth I will have in every thing, and right, with constitutional freedom, is the go vernment of both church and state. I hope ranch from faithful Bavaria, and from the love which it has fur cen turies borne to its princes. Do you, Bavarians, stand by me in my designs to raise you to the position of a free people and of a commanding state in the German fatherland. — Munich, March XI, 1848.— MAXIMILIAN. A letter from Munich of the 21st of March says, that on that day early the troops of the line and the landwehr assembled on the Dultplatz, and took the oath of allegiance to the new king. A deputation from the Chambers, w hick had been quickly collected together at eight o'clock, proceeded to the royal residence, to take the oath of allegiance to the new king. This took place in the Chamber of State, in which at nine o'clock the members of the council of a'ate were as sembled. Maximilian 11. appeared, accompanied by Princes Leopold and Adalbert, and placed himself on the throne with the princes at his side. State Goan eellor von Sehrenck advanced towards the throne and said, " His Majesty King Ludwig I. has been pleased to transfer the crown to the head of your Majesty. We bow in deep reverence to you, and come to bring you our homage." The oath was then read by Councillor of State Von Beisler, and when it had been administered, the King said, "My beloved father has of his own free will transferred the crown of this kingdom to me ; I feel in assuming it the great difficulty of my position, and in order to make that easier I count especially on the assembled sates of my kingdom. I pray for the help of the Almighty that he may give me knowledge and power to fulfil the part entrusted to me. The constitution is the basis from which all improvements must come." A feud cheer was the answer to this speech. Maxi milian himself then took the oath in presence of the C,uusil of State the deputations of the chambers. The opening of the states is fixed for the 22nd, by which time the completion of the new ministry will take place by the nomination of Messrs. Heintz and Lerchenfeld to be ministers of justice and finance. , 'Die rest of the ministry . will be as follows:—General Von Lessuire, war ; Beisler, worship; and Count Von Waldkit ch, foreign affait s. No previous event had ever created such an im pression on the whole population of the capital as the abdication of Ludwig I. It was communicated on the evening of the 20th to the municipal council and publicly made known on the morning of the 21st. the herald of the kingdom proclaimed the accession of Maximilian 11. in the streets of the capital, and the name of the new monarch was received with great demonstrations of joy. It appears that on the night of the 20th it was armour ced by an aide-decamp of the King at the corps de garde, occupied by the students, that his Majesty having for 23 years governed on principles which be considered just, and concessions and pro mises having been extorted fr.im him which he could not conscientiously perform, he had abdicated. The townspeople were at first under the imeression that the act of abdication was not voluntary, in which case they would protest against it. A meeting was called for the purpose of sending a deputation to the palace to request an explanation. At Augsburg the news of the abdication of the King had created great discon tent and alarm. His Majesty will reside at the chateau of Wittlesbach. PItUSSIA.—The intelligence from Berlin is to the 24th, the Prussian Slate Gazette of that date having been received. All was then quiet. On the 22nd, says our correspondent, the funeral oln.equies of the poisons who fell durimr the recent insurrection took place. They were of the most imposing kind. All the municipal and communal authorities, all the magistracy, guilds, and students, and clergymen of all confessions, were in attendance. Countless thou , sands followed the melancholy procession. Von Humboldt headed the procession of the students. It must be stated, to the eternal honour of the people of Berlin, that the fallen soldiers as well as the other victims were buried in one grave. Both categories of individuals fulfilled their duty—one as soldiers, the other as citizens—and so peace to their manes ! Their union in death will restore union between Prus sian soldiers and Prussian burghers. I forgot to mention that on the day of the interment OA c.clnes day) the official organ of the government and other journals appeared in mourning. Professor Dahlman has been summoned to aid the government in framing a law of elections. The Universal Gazette of Prussia, of the 23rd, states that the King had placed the properties of the state, including the military stores destined to be em ployed for the defence of the country aping foreign 1 eleta , rated to ob dear] bite: eases will ties tion plat C Pre' the Poll Dui hist cee cis The The Ca ani W Gi
