them roles of conduct, which they willingly accepted. Individuals were posted at the several doors to see that no person departing should carry away any valua ble. This was scrupulously enforced, even as re spected the most trivial articles. In the midst of the tumult the most respectable pen .o- 1., ladies as well as gentlemen, mingled without the slightest molestation with the populace. In one instance it happ e ned in the Rue de la Paix that a gentleman was d by an intoxicated working man , a blouse, whom the gentleman punished by borne slight blows of his cane. The surrounding populace, witnessing what happened, seized their offending colleague, and inflicted en him a formidable punishment, which would have been much more crious but for the intervention of the person whom he had insulted. Numerous stories, utterly destitute of truth, are circulatel by the party which espoused most warmly the fal"en government. The following may aff.ird a specimen of these exaggerations : It is re ported that when the king's carriages were burned, in front of the Palais Royal, the horses were also burned. The origin of this was probably the fact that the famished p.op:e on the night of Thursday roasted the flesh of the horses of the troops which had been killed, and fed upill it. They might have broken into any butcher ' s or baler's, and obtained other food. On Friday the debtors prison was thrown open, and all the prisoners were rileased. On that day the city emitinued tranquil; the national guard was everywhere under arms; it had charge o. all the public estab:.Mments of every description, including the harra.iks in which the army was confined. The provisional government were delivering ranges in great numbers to the soldiers. Notices were posted through the city, authorising bakers and other vendors of provisions to deliver in their orders, signed by the commanders of the national guard in the several arrondissements. These orders to be punctually raid by the treasury. The pro visions thus obtained were distributed among the armed population who were aiding the national guard iu the charge of the capital. The inhabitants generally were visited in the evening and in the morning by the leaders of the people, demanding arms, for which a written acknowledgment was given, and on each house where they had been thus surrendered the words " Armes donnecs" were chalked. The banks were all closed, and it was not expected they would be opened for the transaction of business until next week. 'the agena de-change had also sus pended business. A meeting was held on Friday t 3 decide when the bourse would be re-opened. It would not probably be before next week. . The streets dining the day were crowded with pro menaders of both sexes, with all the appearance of a festival. The report of General Lataoriciere being wounded is correct. The wound was, however, slight. In the coarse of Friday M. Ledru-ltollin addressed to the prefects of departments a circular, informing them that a republican government hid been formed and that the nation would be called upon to give it its sanction, and requiring them immediately to in form him of the state of public opinion. All the foreign letters that could not be previously delivered in Paris, owing to the state of the capital, were brought on the backs of men to the post office, and have been delivered. A proclamation appeared stating that 24 battalions of national guards would be immediately organised at the expense of the republic. Another proclamation called on all soldiers, who had quitted their corps, to return immediately under penalty of being considered deserters. About twelve o'clock a large body of armed men went to the HOtel of the Minister of the Interior and exhibited an intention of entering the bureaux, but on being addressed by M. Ledru-Itollzn, they went away. The populace, who were without arms, having ex pressed their intention of going to Vincennes to pro cure them, the Minister of the Interior induced them to desist, stating that it would be ruinous to the kingdom, es the arms would be broken and injured. He stated, moreover, that there was no fear that the arsenal of Vincennes would be employed against the people, _ - On Saturday the fortress of Vincennes was surren dered to the people, and the governor declared for the republic. All the military depots of artillery, arms, and ammunition were surrendered to the people. The detached forts round Paris were taken possession of by the people. The government declared their intention to annex Belgium to France ! The Rhine is to be the frontier of the kingdom! The painting presses of the Moniteur wero de 'groped. All time bargains of the month are to be settled at the medium price. The provisional government ad dressed n proclamation to the army, begging them not to desert their banner, for France had need of all her children. _ _ . :News was hourly coming in from the provinces, stating their adhesion to the republic. Thetollowing shows the anxiety of the new govern ment to give itself no appearance of calm : All that appertains to the direction of the fine arts and museums, and was formerly under the control of the civil list, will constitute a division of the ministry of the intei ion The jury charged with the reception of pictures at the annual exhibitions, will be named by election. The artists will be convoked to this effect by a decree. The exhibition of 1848 will be re opened on the 15th March. Since the above was Wl:Lien, we have learnt that a party of revolutionists seized the English mails, when they had arrived near to Paris and having selected that portiun of them designed for India, burnt them. The destruction of railway works did not end at Amiens. At Rouen, the bridge over the Seine has been destroyed by fire. At Lille, an aqueduct and a bridge were also burnt. It will be seen by a letter which will be found in another column, that at Dieppe there has Inca an embargo laid on all foreign Three thousiand men of Rouen and Havre, bringir g provisions and ammunitions, had arrived on Thursday morning by the Rmen railway. They took part in the proceedings of the day. REPORTED ARRIVAL OF LOUIS PHILIPPE IN BRUSSELS. The following letter from our correspondent in Brussels will give an idea of the excitement caused by the reported arrival there of Louis Philippe and the announcement of the proclamation of a republic in Paris: BRUSSELS, SATUILDAY,FER, It would be almost impoasible to describe the ex citement produced in this capital by the intelligence that the government of July was at an end, that Louis Philippe had abdicated, and that a republic had been pro.iaimed. This exei'ement was the greater on account of Brussels having been—strange to say—during 48 hours without news from Paris. The offices of the leading journals (particularly of the Emoncipateur) were crowded night and day. Ambassadors, members of the legislature, judges, bankers—nay, personages of the highest rank—were continually re. ding messengers to procure same item of intelligence. It is unnecessary to add that, under these eircums:ancea, rumours of the meet alarming kind were not only current but readily belaced. Travellers arrived from time to time from Valenciennes, but during two dayr only one direct from Paria. This passenger brought a copy of La Paris, giving some intelligence of the events 0 11 Wednesday night. Last night a few journals were fortunate enough to procure C01..it.9 of the Journal des DAals of Thursday morning, onfurning iu a great measure the reports of tLc Preset.. All day yesterday . a great crowd as sczabli.d near the two railway stations, and the post (Ace, in oilier to gala information respectina the all-exciting topic of the day. At last, about 10 p.m., an tligure with one carriage arrived at the station Du Midi. It was then announced that a republic bad b..Ln proclaimed. This announcement was received with loud cheers by a number of persons belonging• to the working classes, who immediately proceeded down Fearful streets crying " dive la Republique," and singing the "Ifarseillaise. The lcromotive which Lad arrived nas an extraordinary one, sad when it was learnt that it preceded the regu:ur train from Vahlu iennes, the excitement was re d-u b!ed. Crowds again assembled near the rail lt4Y stafion and the post officot It was only i t right that the train in seration ezrive& The important intelligence which had already arrived I was confirmed viva rove by the passengers from Va leheiennes, but no letters were conveyed by it. It is positively asserted that delegates from the provisional government have arrived in Brussels. About 3 o'clock this morning, a gentleman residing in the Montague de la Cour, entered the Cafe del Univers, at which a number of the leading democrats were assembled (and where they had been openly discussing politics all night), and handed to one of the company a copy of a journal in which ample accounts of the events, or reported event., of Paris were given, and in which it was esAerted in tke most positive manner that Louis Philippe and his ex- Queen had arrived at I.aeken. This report was sn current all day that all the papers repeated it. There is reason, however, to believe that the report is un founded. At all events, the fugitives are not in Lacken. The following paragraph appeared in the Brussels Herald of this evening : The a xcitement, tar from being on the decrease, is becom ing still more intense. Every one has his say on the impor tant events in Paris, and comments of the meet diversifiet kind are freily indulged in. Lot night there was a quiet meeting of many leading liberals, and questions relating to me nimbles and republics, to the independence of B Igium, or to its annexation to some other continental puwsr, formed the topics of consideration. One of the chief speakers was M. Bartails, a well-known liberal, or rather radical. Ile expressed himself, however, in very mode rate terms, asserting that the independence and neutrality of Belgium should be maintained at all risks, and admitting that any attempt at a re...lution in Belgium would be an unjustifiable one. Ile even al. dared that the institutions of this country were it. advance of the people. It was admitted on all hands, and the opinion to that effect is general even amongst conservatives, that if the late anti-reform ministry were still in power in this kin;- dom, and particularly lithe prices of provi►ions were so high aa they I itely were, it would be all but impossible to prevent a popular outbreak. The riots which occurred some time ago in Brussels and Ghent prove that there ars not a few ill disposed permns in this country, although in general the population is a peaceful one. It was stated on eoud autho rity that it has been in solved re put frontier f ,rtrasses (which should have been dismantled) into thorough repair. A ca binet council was sitting during the entire night, and nearly all the empinyi • s in the office of the Minister of War were occupied till an early hour this morning. Some superior officers have been sent to France to watch the movements of the victorious insurgents. This day the bills on London (three days afts r sight) were from 25f 50c. to 241. ale., considerably below par. The English hankers in this city (Reynolds and Co.) attribute ' this fulling off to the great run on the banks. A number of military are stationed before the Bank of Belgium, in order to facilitate tine entrance of the numerous persons whaling to withdraw their money. It was reported during a part of the day, that his Majesty the King of the Belgians had resolved to remove the Queen and the royal family film Lacken. Reports even of a more alarming nature were current amongst the English residents, but they are un founded. It would he Minos-Rile tor any one to display more firmness and sangfroid than dues his Belgian Majesty; and, assuredly, no one is more ready to remain at his post than he. The independence of Belgium depen a upon it, King, and the Belgians know that fact. It is hared that there will he same noisy assemblages this night. The Belgian cabinet have taken military precau tions on a large scale, not only for the preservation of order, but also for the preservation tf the Belgian territory. BOULOGNE, SUNDAY, HALF-PAST ONE, P.M. I have just learnt that the sosous-prefets, and other authorities both of Amiens and of Lille have been removed. The railway station of the hitter place has been burnt down. We are not in the most agreeable condition here. Last night and late on Friday a mob of that class of gentry who are known as being " ripe for any thing" paraded this town, singing the Marseillaisr. Their musical perlortnances were varied by a few denuncia tions against the English. To-day the postmaster of Boulogne received a com munication from the provisional government of I'aris, and all were in the greatest anxiety to learn its con tents. To satisfy curiosity that functionary read the document from his window to a crowd which had as sembled under it. The communication merely in structed him to carry on the duties of his office, and to forward letters between England and Franco as usual. _ _ _ We have had fearful weather. Not a vesEPI could leave this harbour on Saturday. I hear that the French mail-boat which left Calais on Friday war wrecked. FOLKESTONE, SUNDAY, 5 P.M. No post or journals from Paris have arrived since Thursday. By the boat which has just arrived—the Prineess Mary—about thirty passengers have arrived. Amongst them Biel/eke of Nemours,some children, arid others, of whose faces I could not catch a glimpse. The Duke started immediately for London, it is presumed, to a-certain what welcome would be likely to await his lather, should the ex-king of the barricades, now that France a second time expels him, fed inclined once more to seek refuge in !England. A steamer is waiting, no doubt, to take back the answer. You will remember that the Duchess of Nemours is a Cobourg. The vessel that brought the Duke was allowed to leave Boulogne without question or delay, nor is there, at present, anything in the shape of embargo at that port,the steamers arrive and depart as hereto fore—at least, they did so to-day—but the people arc in a very excited state. One gentleman, who returned to England this afternoon, described his defeat in an attempt to reach Paris. Ile had left London and reached Bou logne ei/i this port. Taking the railway at Neuf chatel, the train bore him safely to Engliein, within seven miles of Paris. 'There he was stopped. The train could get no further, and not a soul would undertake to drive him to the city. No money would tempt the good people of the place to risk themselves or their cattle within reach of the revolutionary vortex. Whether the prospect alarmed him, or whether he was a bad pe destrian he did not explain; but wound up his hasty narrative by saying, " Aud so I was obliged to come back." Another passenger on whom I pounced told me iris story. He had got out of Paris to go to England by Havre. The line was all right to Rouen, but there the railway bridge over the Seine was burning, and so he turned off to go to Dieppe. At Dieppe there was an embargo on all foreign vessels. This obliged him to start for Abberville, and thence to Boulogne, where he got across. The Folkstone people feel much interest in the fact that six thousand English in Paris have applied for passports, but cannot obtain them. A considerable number of Frenchmen have crossed to Boulogae— many of them political refugees. They escaped in our metropolis the annoyances our countrymen now suffer in Paris. SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY. The Express. a very fast steamer, was despatched from hence to Havre this morning at 3, and will re turn to-night. She was despatched on purpose to open a communication between this country and Paris, through Havre, on account of the other route being stopped up. This will be done as secretly as possible, to prevent the Parisians knowing it. SLme apprehension is felt that that portion of the Indian mail directed to go "ri i Marseilles," and which was despatched from London on the evening of the 24th, will be delayed on account of the revolu tion in Paris, and that it will not reach Malta in time to go on by the Ripon. [lt will be seen by another part of our paper that these fears were not unfounded. Since receiving the above the following has been forwarded by the same correspondent:) (By Electric Trlcaraph.) SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY NIGUT.—It is reported that Havre is filled with people waiting to come to England. The Express steamer that lett this morn ing for Havre is anxiously expected. The Duke of Devonshire has just arrived at Had lev's Hotel, and is eagerly - inquiring for 114vre news. 'The Jupiter, which left Southampton with the Pe ninsular mail on the 17th, broke down and put into Carunna ou the 21st. It will be a fottnight before she will be ready to sail. Ar.other rumour prevailed at Southampton that the King would Lind at Portsmouth. 'This is the more prkabie, es it will be found stated that he bad left Tri':port.

THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1848. ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE DE NEMOURS IN LONDON. The Duke de Nemouriiainved at the French Embassy, in Manchester-square, last evening at 25 minutes to eight o'clock, from the terminus of the South-Eastern Railway at London-bridge, accompa nied by Count de Jarnac (the French minister). The royal duke was accompanied from Paris by one of his children, the Duke Auguste of Saxe Coburg and his Duchess (nee Princess Clementine) with their three children, and a ph) sican. The duke on hisarrival at Hertford-house, seemed greatly dejected, as he was suffering front excessive tatigue ; and from their escape from the French capital having been the act of a moment, no luggage was brought, so that, in fact, none of them possess a change of garments. The Countess de Jarnac, the Count Louis de Noailles, and M. de Rabaudy were assembled in the vestibule to receive the Duke do Nemours and the unfortunate individuals accompanying that prince. The duke was waited on immediately atter his arrival at the embassy by their Itoyal Highnesses the fluke and Duchess of Saxe-Cobe arg and his Royal High ness Prince Alber, attended by Baron Fritsch and Lieut.-Col. Wilde. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Cobourg and Prince Albert , were instantlyconducted to the saloon of the embassy. The meeting was deeply affecting, the Duchess of Saxe-Cobourg being painfully overcome by her feel ings. The Count and Countess de Jarnac were alone present at the distres4ing interview, the royal equer ries being in call in an ante-room. It was said at the embassy that the Duchess de Nemours (cousin of the Prince Consort) was missed in the streets of Paris. No tidings whatever of her royal highness have been received, and the utmost anxiety prevails for her safety. The Prefect of Paris arrived in London yesterday, from Paris, having made his escape from the capital on Thursday night. The Duke de Montebello, the Minister of Marine and the Colonies, and of course member of the cabinet under M. Guizot, arrive?. on Saturday in London, and is staying with the lion. Francis Cherteris, M.P., and Lady Anne Charteris, at their residence in Cheeham-place. The duke escaped with little diffi culty, bat in a state of comparative di taitution. Baroness James Rothschild and her youthful family arrived at Baron and Baroness Lionel Roth schild's residence, in Piccadilly, on Saturday, from Paris, and have subsequently removed to hlivart's Hotel. The baroness removed from Paris under the utmost consternation, and the excitement of the family can be imagined when we state that they had no clothing, even 0:1 reaching London, but what had been secured in the towels of their chambers. The Duchess de Coigny, a in mber of the house of Stair, and consequently a Scotch lady, arrived in Dover-street, on Saturday, from Paris, having escaped over tho walls aurrouuding the capital. We learn the duchess assumed the disguise of a servant. The gallant duke still rt mains in Paris. THE DUCHESS OF ORLEANS IN THE CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. We give the scene oiThursdaymore in detail than was possible in duo course on Saturday,. and froin Le Commerce, the official organ of the party now in power. At 1 o'clock the peril& nt to k the chair ; upwards of 300 members were present. In half an hour it was rumoured that the Duchess of Orleans was about to present he melt with her two sone An Matelot afterwards, a movement was observed in the passage of the left. When the duchess presented herself she was aecompanit d not only by her two sons, but by the Dukes de Nt mount and Montpensier. The young Comte de Paris came first, led by owe of the deputies. It was with great difficulty that way could be in tele for him amidst the crowd of officers and aoldiere of the national guard. His presence at the door caused a strong sensation, which broke forth in murmurs that soon rose to loud exclamation,' of " You cannot cuter !" " You have no right here !" Several of the vople, however, rushed into the chamber with the young count, and placed him under toe tribune. A moment afterwards the Duchess of Orleans entered sad seated herself in a chair, with her two sons beside her. linen. diet. ly afterwards the passages, and in fact every vacant apace, were filled with such of the populace as had succeeded iu squeezing themieriscs in and with national guards. Tho princess soon after quitte d the semicircle, and retired to one of the upper benches of the centre, and opposite to the pre•iilent'e bureau. The Cham ber was agitated in every p qt. The first to speak was M. Durex—ln the prose. t situation of the capital and the difficult circumstances in which we find that the country is placed, it has been found necessary to reas•emble the chamber without loss of time. The King has abdicated the crown in favour of his grandson, and has devolved the regency on the Duchess of Orleans. At this announcement, cries of " Bravo" resounded from nearly all the benches, and from some of the tribunes. One voice, however, was heard eerie the rest to exclaim, " It is too late!" A scene of confusion it is impossible to describe ensued. The duchess and her children now appeared in the midst of a group of deputies. The National Gu trail has tened to sort ound the royal family. 'the Dukes of Nemours and Montpessier were seated behind the two young princes and their mother. M. Mettle all this while endeavoured in vein to make himself heard; but at leneth succeeded in obtaining silence. Gentlemen, he said: In the critical condition of Paris, it is our urgent duty to take measures which will have some au thority witli the people. Siuco tide morning the evil has made great progress. (Cries of " Goad !") Which past will you take t But an instant since the Duchess of Orleans was proclaimed regent. But there is a law which gives the re gency to the Duke of Nemours, and you have nut the power at Ma moment to make a new law. What you have to do is to name a provisional government. (Loud cheers.) Not to create new institutions, but to advise with the two chambers on the necessity of atielying the voice of the country. M. DE GENODDE :—I demand to speak. M. CurstiEVE :—Some great measure is necessary for the safety of the public. It is important that everyone should aeree in prod emine a great principle, and in enuring to the conquering people a solemn guarantee. Let us not do as we did in 1830. Let us not re-enact in 1818 what was done then. (Applause from the public gallery.) Let us form a provisional government, not to regulate the future, but to establish order. (Cries of " Good, very good.") We cannot do more now. (No, no.) I have • great reseect for Madame the Duchess of Odense. (Bravo!) And it was I who conducted the royal f amily hither. A VOICE—Bon Voyage! (Murmurs.) M. CUEMIECE—The population of Paris has shown the most profound respect for the misfortune of the king ; but we who are sent here to make laws must not break them. New, one law, already voted, disposes of the re gency, and I cannot admit that its potency can be abrogated at the present moment. Since we have arrived at the point of undergoing a revolution, let us confide in the country. 1 propose a provisional government of five members. Several voices—" We second the propose." M. DE GENOVDE then rose, but at that moment M. 0. Barrot entered the ball, upon which there was a general coil for him to speak. M. de Genowle again demanded that be should he heard. M. 0. Barret made a gesture of assent, and retired behind the president's bureau. M. ne GENOVDE—Nothing practicable can be done, nothing stable amidst the excitement of a crowd. This was attempted in 1830, and you sec the consequence. ! M. 0. Beaaor —Neste was firmness and patriotism so much needed as now. We must all unite in the same senti- I went; that tof saving our country front that detestable I scourge—a civil war. (Applause.) Nations do not die, I know, but they may ho weakened by internal dimensions, and never did France stand so much in need of that greatest of strength, the unanimity of her children. Our duty is plainly marked out. It invites us to rally round that which is most generous in the heart of the country. The crown re sac on the heads of a child and of a woman. (Strong marks of I assent in the greater part of the chamber. Dissent in the tribunes.) This is a sotemn appeal ! At this point the Duchess of Orleans rose and uttered some word., the purport of which we were unable to catch. The persons who surrounded her invited her to sit down again. M. 0. Banterer—it is in the name of political liberty, of order, of that union which must predominate in the wishes of all good citizens, that I demand of all my colleagues to rally round this double representative of the revolution of July. (Fresh marks of dissent and approbation.) I would lav down my life a thousand times to ensure the triumph of this cause—that of my country's liberty. M. DE L %ROI:HU/at:ELI:IN spoke, but we could not hear what he said. M ;Demeter :—Cen it pas :'fly be supposed that what has ' been decided by the revolution of duly can be again placed in question? (Sensation.) The Task is a difficult one, I know ; but there are in this country such elements of great nets, generosity, raid good sense, that an appeal is only ue , cessary to rally the whole population under that staedard. By these are reconcile d, the means of assuring liberty and the rights of the country with the necessities of order. Let us rally all our forces to work for this great end. Our duty is simple, and traced out by the laws and by honour. If we do not perform it with force awl courage, I cannot say what will be consequences. Be c nelneed, that the man who would have the courage to take on himself the responsibility of a civil war would be in the highest degree culpable and criminal towards his country. (" Very good.") For my part, I will not bear such a weight. The regency of the Duchess of Orleans ; a ministry chosen amongst the men of the most tried opinions iu the country, and an appeal to the country which will pronounce itself with all its liberty and in the limits of legality—tle se are opportune to the situation. Smelt is my opinion, and I will net take the responsibility of any other situation. M. DE L tßOcitEr,tauELEll—Gentlemen, I prOrourally respect whet there is of a aained tendency in a certain situa tion. I am, perhaps, more titan any other edited upon to defend the people and liberty. But I will &newer AI. °dike Barrot by saying that it cannot be my design le sup port an opinion hare. M. O.lilon Barrett has not understood the sentiment which animates me. Gentlemen, here you are caught. Cries of order from all aide.. That PILEAIDENT :—M. Larechejaquelein, you are not in order. I beg to call you to order. M. DE Lertoceirerstecterrie :—When I say you are as nothing, I do not mean to say the chamber is annulled. 4+101"-1.1611.111111eill61.: At this moment a great crowd rushed into the chamber, 'clamant of national guards in arms, and citizens, some un armed, in blouses, or with easqun ' shakos, and others armed with sabres, gum, swords, and gags. The tribune being thus filled with people not members of the chamber, the president put on his hat ; and this act WU received with cries of " Down with the bat." An indescribable tumult then ensued, in the midst of which the tribune was occupied by national glands and pupils of the Boole Politecbnique. M. Lentto Romig, molting himself heard above the tu mult, said—Gentlemen, in the name of the people I demand The deputies then began to retire, and the crowd occu pied the benches of the chambers. The noise was at its height, U. LEONA; ROLLIN—In the name of the people I protest against the king of government which bas now been pro. pceed to us. (Cries of •' Yes, yes," " Bravo," end tumult.) You have been told of the constitution of 1789. lam afraid that constitution, es welt as that of 1791, has been forgotten. It is not the fret time I have protested. In 1842 I demanded the constitution of 1791. (" 6sod, very good.") This con stitution enacted that an appeal should be made to the people for a law of regency. (" Yes, yes," loud applause.) I pro test against the government which is priposed, aid I do so in the names of the citizens who are there now, who hive fought for the last two days, and will fight 'pin this even. iug. (Shouts from all 'ides " Yes, yes," and brandishing et weapons.) I demand, in the name of the people, that a provisional government be named. (Yes, yes.) M. De LAMAR:NNE have shared in the sentiments of grief which a short time ago agitated this assembly, when it saw the saddest sight that has been offered in human annals —that of a princess presenting herself with her innocent son, and leaving her palace to seek the protecti .n of the Chamber. But if I altered in this respect for a great misfor tune, I also share in the solicitude and in the admiration which must be excited at the sight of • people which has been fighting for the last two days against a per fidious government, in order to re-establish the empire of order and liberty. (Cries of " bravo.") Let there be no illusion. A Vince :—We must no longer have any. M. DE ',MARTINE 110 nut think that an acelernation in this chamber can replece the united will of 2.5 millions of men. Annother kind of acclamation must be heard, and whatever may be the government which this country will adopt, it mum be cemented by solid and definite guarantees. How will you do it? How will you find the con ditions necessary for such a government in the float ing elements which surround us? (" Very good.") Instead of b►ving recourse to subterfuges to maintain one of those fic tions which have nothing durable. I ask you, first, to form a provisional government, whose duty it would be to atop the flow of blood and put a stop to the civil war—(Acelansa. dons from all parts of the chamber)—a government which we institute wit`iout giving up the rights for our anger, or that of the great mission of establishing peace between citizens— government on which we will impose the duty of convoking the whet.: of the people. At this moment loud knocking was beard in one of the tribunes, which was immediately filled by a crowd of men bearing muskets. The Duchess of Orleans retired immediately by a side do T. M. Sativt left the chair, and a great number of de puties also rose from their places. The greatest disorder was now visible. Immediately after this M. Dupont (dc l'Eure) mounted tin the president's chair. M. de Lamartine and M. Ledru Rollin appeared simultaneously at the tribude, hut their voices were drowned by the noise. Some national guards and other persons tried in vain at the same, time to get a bracing. Cries were then made from all quarters of " Lamartine." Let Lamartine speak. M ue LAXARTINE: A provisional government is about to be proclaimed. Cries of " Vive Lamartine! Names—names!" M. Cisruirvx : It is essential that silence should be mule, in order that our venerable colleague, M. Dupont (de l'Eure) may read out the names of the members of the pro vision-1 government. The noise not ceasing the names were written on a slip of paper, and carried round the Chamber oaths top of a musket. Mr. Leogo Rottisr, amidst the noise. " A government cannot be formed lightly. I will read the names, and you ally approve or disipprove." In the midst of shout, M. Ledru Rollin read the names. The tumult was at its height, and all the deputies lett ; the chamber no longer contained any but national guards and the people. M. ROLLIN continued—We are obliged to raise the sitting in order to go to the seat of government. (Shouts from all parts, " To the Hotel de Ville !" " Vire la Republique !") The crowd then dispersed at four o'clock. PORTUGAL. The Oriental Company's steam-packet Madrid, Cipt. J. Weeks, arrived at Southampton yesterday, and lauded her mails under the charge of Lieut. J. Inglis, RN., Admit alty agent. Her dates are—Gibi al tar, Feb. 18 ; Cadiz, F, I). 19; Lisboa, Feb. 21; Oporto, Feb. 22; Vigo, Feb. 23. At Lisbon it was ri ported that the British squa dron were soon to leave the Tagus for England, with the exception of the Howe and Scourge. The Home is to sail for the Queen Dowager on March 26. The squadron are now comparatively healthy. The St. Vincent has still 18 men at the hospital. There was one new case of small-pox on the 19th. LISBON, FEB. 21. The only single subject of news that is now occu pying the Lower House is the project of . law relating to the military force, and as thero is no upptstion, every deputy being the nominee of the ministers, or rather of the minis ters' waster, Costa Cabral, there ctn be small doubt but that there will he no reducion in the wiliest) , force of the country ; rather the reverse, for not only will the Cabral battalions be kept on foot, but an augmentation of their strength seems very probable. In connexion with this subject the public mind has been rather stsrtled et 111 expose made in the Cbamber of Peers, by the Marshal Duke of Saldsnho, who, in the c Arse of his speech, produced and read to the home a num:ter of de spatches and reports from various civil governors in dill rent parts of the country, in which the tact is proclaimed that the people are evcrywherepliguelites, and are aiming at a restoration, a fact well known without the admission of the Marshal, hut the singularity of the matter is, that be should have had the bold honesty so publicly to avow it ; it L, therefore, upea this ground that he justifies the keeping on foot of so large a military force. The " Times affair" is still before the two houses ; not a Lut it induces some sparring. Count Tojal takes the matter very coolly; he rays that, for his part, he can see no reason why a minister shouldn't "honestly' look after his own foi tunes. The Englah squadron yet remains in the Tagus. It has been rumoured that the detention is at the instance of Sir G. Hamilton Seymour, prohnbly a measure of precaution, for the acts of the queen, and the terrorism by which she would en - tain her throne, threaten serious events. Toe Scourge and the Terrible steamers had a trial of speed yesterday, and during the afternoon the latter went over the bar, her desti nation being south.

By the Simlah, from Calcutta, we have dates to the Ist of January, by which we learn that the whole of the Kaffir chiefs had assembled at King tVilliam's Tows, where they were met by Sir H. Sin th, who addressed the chiefs and upward of 2,000 Raffles unarmed on the 21th of December, and having produced a staff, and a sergeant's halbert, he up braided several of the chiefs for their faithless conduct in the observance of their engagement+, and then offered them their election of peace or war. The staves were emblemati cal of war and peace; they might choose which they pleased. Me chiefs accepted the staff of peace, and Sir H. Smith declared himself Inkesi Halvah:, the great chief. The country now surrendered is to be called British Caffraria. The 7a% Dragoon Guards, 27th Inniskillens, 91st, Ist bat., 82nd, and 90:h regiment will immediately return to England in consequence of orders already received.

PRESIDENCY eeP TILE ROYAL SOCIETY. The Atheneum says "There h is been for some time a rumour, which we believe se can say need no longer be doubted, that it is the intentuc of the Marquis of Northampton to resign the presidency of the Royal S teiety at the close of the present year. We know nothing as to Ilk pro able eaccessar ; but ezrnestly hope that the society will embrace this opp.atunity of taking that attitude before the public which befits teas the highest scientific body in the kingdom." PHILANTIIROPIC SOCIETY. A number of the parrot's of this institution met on Saturday, at the Loudon Tavern, to cclenrate the 60th anniversary of the society. Viscount Morpeth presided.—The Rev. Mr. Turner read the report, and stated that the expenses of the last yeu had caul deratify exceeded the income; but the committee hoped that the r c.ipts of the present year would show a great increase. and enable them to establish thole farm and extend the operations of the society.—The list of subscriptions, which was afterwards announced, amounted to 2,0341. THE DAILY News EXPRE6B.—When the second edition of Saturday's Daily News reached the City, with the intelligence which will be found re peated elsewhere, some influential persons, as we are informed, expressed themselves doubtful of its accuracy, on the assumed fact that no one eould leave Paris, or travel by railway, and that they were certain that, had it been possible, they should have received intelli gence. Now, as there is no mystery as to how this news reached up, we will quote the private letter of our correspondent: " PARIS FRIDAY MORNING. . . " In the confusion and alarm amidst which we are placed here, and the difficulty, approaching to an impossibility, of Sliding any means of communication, expeditious or otherwise, with England, I have adopted, as before, the only practicable expedient— that of sending a riding courier to Boulogne. You know, of course, that the mails are suspended. My despatches of yesterday morning still remain in the post-office here, no mail having been expedited." This courier reschei Boulogne in safety, and our agent there immediately engaged a pilot to deliver the despatches at Folkestone. The weather was so boisterous that not even a steam-boat, we be lieve, ventured to put to sea. The pilot, unable to make either Folkestone or Dover, bore up for Deal, where he succeeded in landing. Thence our agent tramm;tted, by Electric Telegraph, the substance of the news referred to. The messenger himself has since arrived, bringing the Paris newspapers and the letter above quoted. Tne " DAILY NEws" In THE CITY.—RoyAL Ez ell ANON, SATURDAY AFTERNOON.-Sir: As I see that your high pnced contemporaries do not hesitate to appropriate, without acknowledgment news from Paris which you were the lint to make public, I think attention should be drawn to the very important service whick the Daily News has done in supplying early information re lathe to recent stirring events across the Channel. During the whole of the eventful week now closed, which comprises the history of the rise, progress, and most stirring and extraordinary incidents of a memorable revolution, which has abolished royalty and installed democracy in France, the Daily News has been tint, earliest, and almost exclusively in the field every morning with its record of events a.; they occurred on the day before in Pan*. It is in every one's mouth, and should be mentioned, that the Times, at least, has been invariably ono day behind the Daily Nem during the whole week in its Paris intelligence.—lt. THE PARIS NEWS IN THE ENGLISH PROVINCES. The interest and excitement created in Manchester by the intelligence coming to hand from day to day, and, indeed, almost hour by hour, from London, respecting the extraordinary events which have been taking place in the French capital, are without parallel. From the moment the first express of the Daily News came to hand, on Weinei day, with the information that an interruptioa of public order had token place in Paris, the anxiety of the public has been on the increase; and though the electric telegraph has continued to anticipate the arrivals of the London papers, its short, pithy scraps of information have rather fed than satisfied the general curiosity, the fuller details brought in each succeeding edition, and especially those iu the second and third editions of the Daily Newr, eepresaed to Manchester again on Thursday and Fri day (the latter coming to hand so early as four o'clock in the afternoon), were eagerly sought after. It is not too much to say that many thousands of those papers might have been sold on these occasions. The news of LIM' Philippe's abdication, which was received on Friday evening, and became generally known on Same day morning, raised the excitement which had been The Maneltettir Times published no less than ten editions during Saturday, and the office of that paper being situated between the Exchange and the electric telegraph office, became a central point of attraction, and towards evening groups of working men mingled with those who had congre gated near it in Duc.e-place and the Exchange-arcade, but the number of papers was unequal to the demand. Their intelligence, as already intimated, was from the London daily papers, and placed under large and attractive heading., with the acknowledgment underneath, " Fr..m the Daily News," " From the third edition of the Express evening paper," &e., it was reed with an intensity of interest niece betire witnessed. The excitement which prevailed, and the anxiety to obtain the latest news from Paris, however, did not so absorb attention as to close men's eyes to what is going on at home, and the propositions and policy of our own government, especially in reference to the income tax and the national defences, were discussed and commented I upon more freely than ever. The result was that a meeting ..f the electors, censistine mainly of supporters of the Right. lion. T. M. Gibson and Mr. debn Bright, the two merubin for the borough, was hastily gathered, from which a deputation proceeded to wait upon Mr. Wilson, chairman of their j int committee at the late election, requesting that be ....id call a public meeting of their constituents, to me morialise those gentlemen in opposition to the lately pro pounded financial ,theme of the government. The deputa tion represented so numerous and respectable a body of elector. that Mr. Wilson could not hesitate compliance, and that gentleman at once fix, d upon Tuesday afternoon for the meeting, when an overwhelming attendance of electors is expected. The income tax, which was borne with patience here so long ad it was thought to be a temporary tax only, now that it is proposed in these times of commercial distress to increase and render it permanent is not only unpopular, but people look upon it as an intolerable grievance. The Bristol Mercury of Saturday says : " One acknowledgments are due to Mrs. Bingham, of this city, for second and third editions of the Daily News, containing the meet recent in telligeace of the important events in progress at Paris. The tfforui made by the Daily News in expressing the several editions have been highly spirited and praiseworthy." On Saturday, about 2 p.m., a telegraphic meseuxe was re ceived at Southampton, announcing that the Daily News had published in London the important fact that " The 'House of Orleans had ceased to reign " in France, and that a republic had been proclaimed—that Louis Philippe and his family had gone to Eu, and ether particulars relative to this extraordinary revolution. The Ilampthire Indepetuient im mediately published a third edition, which contained a re print of the telegraphic me-sage, with an acknowledgement that it was copied from the Daily News. A late edition containedalso the proclamation of the provisional govern ment. The intelligence was read with avidity, and excited an i xtraordinary sensation amongst the plople of South ampton. DESPATCHES FROM BELGIUM, tbc contents of which are understood to be of the gravest importance, ar rived yesterday forenoon at the Foreign-office. On their re ceipt Lord PahrersUm immediately went off to Buckingham Palace. for the purpose, it is said, of laying their contents before her Majesty. GREAT MEETING OF THE LIVERY THIS DAT ON THE MI:EJECT OP THE INCOME TAX.—It In expected that the Guildhall will bo crowded this day, at 12 o'clock, with the members of the livery of London, convened by the Lord Mayor, to petition the Boum of Commons against the in crease and continuance of the inc3me tax. All the wards will meet, in the course of the week, upon the same subject. In fact, the agitation in the City upon the Reform Bill was not so great as that which has suddenly manifested itself upon the proposition of the minister to acid to this tax. It is hoped that Lord John Russell will attend the Common-hali to ex press his intention wiLh respect to the proposed increase of the tax. The other members for the City of London will, it is said, attend to the summons. PROVINCIAL. ANTI-INCOME TAX MEETINGS. In the mineral district of Sourer STAFFORDSHIRE very strong feelings against Lord John Russell's finance measure have found vent is the fullest expression. One of the largest meetings held for many years they. about' took place at Stourbridge on Saturday. It was convened at the instance of and attended by several bankers and many of the largest iroomasters of the district. John Harward, Esq., occupied the chair. The first speaker was Mr. Wrange, banker, who warmly cor.dernned the policy of augmenting the income tax in is peculiarly oppressive style. Ha was followed by Mr. William Akroyd, the chairman of the poor law union, Mr. Verrius, Mr. B. Williams, and Mr. R. Scott (late M.l'. for Walsall). The following resolutions were passed : That this meetinr, viewing the depressed condition of the tra4e and manufactures of this country, consider It the duty of the legislature, by the enforcement of rigid economy in every depimment of the mate, to reduce the tuitional expenditure within the limit of the existing rerenue. That so Inc reWl:(otd of Great Britain have been crippled by un sampled con.rihntions in aid of the sister kingdom, it is ualuit to increase the prcpcity and income tax as levied In England and Sectland, witnout t sonding it. impo.ition to Itclan I. That no ex tension, or eren oontLatinet , of the income tax °night to be permitter without an rnderawr to mitigate the inequalities and secure a more fair ...emu:tient of the Lturthen. A petition to parli.inteet was adopted embodying the spirit of these resolutions. • ' 1N NV Egr 10SiisillRE the manifestations against the ministerial budget, and especially astaiost any increase of taxation, is Inco.oing general. At Lagos, on Saturday, a very numerouey attend• d meeting was hAd at the Court. house. Ihe mayor presided. Mr. Alderman Richardsm rose, and proposed: Tnat this moebog has learnedwith coocern and disapprobation th at the amourt winnows about to be Fabian: id to t'..e aooroval at pax :la ment involve a aerioto widition to the already borilinaoale anualat of tozation. The Rev. C. Wicksteed, presbyterian minister, sac snded the resolution, which was cordially agreed to.—?lr. RiLlvardsun, clerk of the peace, proposed the sscond resolution, which ran as follows: - ma tins meeting is of opinion that at this mennent of deep pros. tratioa in etery deoartment of indurtcy, and the ea . ..mann titiva tion and suffering anonet all derma, it hi the imperative way of goverialent to t r :AC the severe.t ecraecny and recreinhaleat in funning the estiarraer, that neither in the details of the erti mates, nor in the nunr.er of their proposal, la them any evidence that either day bar beta discharged. Mr. Couacillor Brook seconded the motion, which was readily adopted.—The Rev.

Baines, jun., wooded dm 'notion, which was adopted by acclamation.—Mr. J. Pilot, in proposing the fourth resolution. That whilst this meeting theogniees the wisdom of substitutict taxes oo property and income for curb as check exchange, impale the development of national industry, and unequely pros on the advs. trious clothe. it would enter its earnest protest alpinist the principle of imposing the same rata of duty on incomes derived from preen slocal skill and menu lecturing cote prier as on incomes derived farm real property; and therefore regards with strong Lt.thoution the contemplated addition of two per cool. to the inc,mie tax, views" any attempt to estebiish a gthillieted reale of duty, t hough gull as.. companied with the exemption of our section of the empire froth. the operation of the I. at the expense of the rest. Mr. Councillor Newsom seconded the proposition, and It I was carried amidst loud applause.—lt was also resolved, on the motion of Mr. Wilkenson, thx-spinner. seconded by Mr. Nunneley, surgeon, that a petition embodying the pea vMus resolutions be signed by the chnirman on behalf cf the meeting, and presented to the House of Commons. At WAKEFIELD a public meeting was held in the Court house, on Friday night, which had, been convened, in com pliance with a numerous requisition, by Mr. S. 11. Armi tage, the chief constable, who presidid : the attendance was large. Toe first resolution, proposed by Dr. Mauro, con demned the ministerial proposition for ii.creasing and cos tinning the income tax as oppressive. especially at the pre sent time, when trade is depreseed, capital dimiLished, and ' profits small.—Mr. Dike., hanker, seconded the resolution. The next resolution was proposed by Mr. Dunn, surgeon, to the eflect that a tax upon income of the same amount as upon real property is unjust, oppressive, and inexpedient, and that therefore the proposal of ministers to increase this no,ous sod inquisitorial tax upon trades and professions to five per cent. ought to he reskted in a firm and constitutional manner.—Mr T. Sale seconded the motion, and Mr. J. Daweon spoke in its support.—Mr. Fo i ipletan submitted a resolution, which was seconded by Mr. W. Daw son, and carried by acelamation also. It alleged that a considerable redaction might be made in the expense of onr civil, military, and naval establishments, without at all im pairing their strength and efficiency ; aod that before any additional tease inn is granted, it is the duty of the et presen tatives of the people in the House of Commons to institute an inquiry into the best mews of carrying out a judicious and economical reform in the whole of our national establishments. A petition to the House of Commons, em tn.:lying these resolutions, was adopted, and the meeting broke up, after voting thanks to the constable for calling the meeting and presiding over it. PON TEntacr has also been the scene of a public meeting, convened by the Mayor, en compliance with a numerously signed requisition. It was held is the Town-hall, when a series of resolutions against the necessity of the increased income tax were a lopteil, and embodied in a petition, which was ordered to be forwarded is Moeckton Milne, El., for presentation to the flout. of Commons. We have received reports cf anti-income tax meetings held on Friday and Sa sudsy at CHICHESTER, CAMBRIDGE, PORTSMOUTH, BRISTOL, HUDDIRSFIELD, EXSTRIL, BONI TOS, CHELTENHAM, CHATHAM, DUDLEY, BYRSHAM, and Wisowlcx. All these towns have simultaneously given utterance to their strong repugnance to the proposed income tax, and in all cases resolutions were parsed and petitions adopted expressing the general feeling on the subject. Many meetings are to be held this dsy (Monday) one at Ostord, another at Southampton, a third at Lynn, a fourth at Hull. • A FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CALEDONIAN RAIL wAY occurred on Friday night. The line has only been opened a few weeks, and by it the distance from the metro polis to Edinburgh and Glasgow has been considerably shortened. In continuation with the Laneaster and Carlisle Railway, it Meal from Carlisle to the Carstairs Junction, where it joins the E linburgh and Glasgow line. It appears that, at a quarter past nine o'clock on Thursday Eight, the mail train left Edinburgh, and at the junction was met by the mail from Glasgow. Being joined, the train consisted of the engine and tender, luggage van, two firatclass and two second-class carriages, and - proceeded on its usual course, until it arrived at the Kirllbridge station, between 2 and 3 miles from the Ecclefechan, when the passengers ever I brown into a date of pedaled alum hr the violent motion and bumping of the tram, and the slioek occasimed by it+ run ning off the line. The night was very dark, rainy, and tem pestuous, so that it was impossible to see where they were; but instant groans and cries for help anon toll that acme frightful disaster had happened, and on tame of the pea scoffers scrambling out of the carriages they found that the ponderous engine had gone down an embankment by the side of the line, and was buried sideways in mud and water, having drawn the carriages after it down the embankment. It was soon found that the carriage nearest to the engine had ignited, and in this awful state of things those passengers who could move about proceeded at calm to exert themselves to extricate those less fortunate. Efforts were first made to sappress the tire, which was fortunately soon accomplished, when one of the occupants of tho first carriage (Mr. Reid, of Glasgow, a commercial traveller) was found with his leg severely fractured ; and directly afterwards an el derly geneeman, named IVierwick, and his wife, living in Oxfordshire, were found jammed between portions of the broken carriage. So firmly was Mr. Warwick fitmd, that a portion of the carriage had to be sawn away before he could be extricated. lie was ascertained to have received com pound fractures of both legs, and to be otherwise extensively tjured. Mrs. Warwick had also one of her legs le-ctured. The next sufferer picked up was the engine-driver, John Riley. Re was under the engine for some hours before be was discovered, and was much scalded and bruised, beside having his right arm fractured. The fireman, Joseph Grey, has also sustained numerous injuries, and Christpher Arm strong, the guard, who was thrown under the feremost car riage, was not found for three hours, and died shortly after wards, so extensive were the injuries he had received. The non-arrival of the train at the station in Carlisle in duced the railway authorities to send • pilot engine in quest of it, when the accident was ascertained ; and the sufferers conveyed to that city. In the ease of Mr. Warwick amputation was immediately resorted to, but he gradually eunk seed expired. Among t the other passengers hurt were Mr. Onodridge, of Bath, architect ; Mr. Keys, merchant, of Glasgow ; and Mr. Douglas, of Cross-street, Manchester. The accident, it has been ascertained, was caused by a slip in the embankment, arising from the late heavy rams through which the rails had mink to a con siderable extent. Information of the accident hag been seat to the commissioners of railways, who will send down one of their officers to make the usual government inspection. The last accounts from the infirmary state that some of the suf ferers are in a very doubtful condition. CLERICAL PRErEaur.Nrs.—R^v. H. M. Erskine, to Woburn P. C., Beds., dio.
