(14 the Electric Telegraph of the Soqf &OKI, lialb,a7.) PROCLAMATION OF A REPUBLIC. NEW MINISTRY. DEPARTURE OF TILE ROYAL FAMILY. PARIS, FRIDAY. 9 A.M. A Republic has been proclaimed. The King and his family are gone to Eu. The provisional government already appointed has been confirmed. The following ministers: Dupont de l'Eure, President; Lamartine, Foreign Affairs; Arego, Marine; Ledru Rollin, Interior; Marie, Public Works; Carnot, Public Instruction ; ltethmont, Com merce; Lamorieiere, War ; Gamier Pages, confirmed as Mayor of Pars; Carignac, Governor of Algiers; Courtais, Cemmni:dant of the National Guard. All communication by railway and diligence suspended. The station of the Northern Railway has been burnt. It is impossible to get oat of Paris by that line. All is tranquil in the quarter of the Tuileries. The foregoing appearel exclusively in a second edition of the Daily Nell,. We hope to give further particulars on the n rrival of the next train. We have just learned on seeming good authority, that Prince Lou.i Napoleon, who has been residing here for some time past, received a courier late yes terday, and in consequence he started tor Paris at 11 o'c!eck last night, with his private secretary and physician. AMERICA AND MEXICO. The Acadia, Captain Stone, has arrived from Roston and Halifax. She left the former port on the 12th, and the '.after on the 15th instant. She brings dates from New York, to the 11th inst., but the stews is unimportant. The Courier and Enquirer for Bu rope gives the following shirt summary The state of the war question with Mexico is an @hanged. The rumours of peaeq have received no official confirmation—indeed they have been in some sense officially discouutenaneed, if not denied; yet our con viction is unchanged, that Mexico, through Mr. Trist, has made overture., of which the substance is, that the de. mands heretofore made by the United States shall be ac ceded to. The latest dates from the el' yof Megico arc of the 13th ult., at which time Mr. Trist was still there, and there he will probably remain, until the Congress of Mexico, sitting at Queretaro, shell sanction or revoke the proposals of the Mexican commissioners. If these be sanctioned, it may be assumed, we think, with certainty, that the govern ment of the United States will eeify the proceeding.. Meantime, Canaries is is no halite with the legislation so earnestly called Joe by the administration, in order to the prosecution of On war. The bill forlevying ten addi tional regiments regulars is yet undecided in the senate, where i: was iftteldUCEd last December and in the house the Loan hill, though reported, is yet entouehrd ; but a re. solution for provioing a portion of the expenditure called for by the war by direct illation was rejected by a decisive vote. It is, the reMre, estahliehed as the policy of the administra. tion that loans are to iiffh the sinews of the war, in addi tion to such rever.ue as may be derived from Mexico. The loan now to be proposed has been reduced from eighteen aed a half to sixteen millions of dollars; but at six per cent. the loan ean..ot ce new.tiat. dot par in t,te present state of our nioncy markets, within the last fort night these have become easier, and United States stocks have improved in pfiees. Exchange on England is tending upwards, and beet city bills may be pt..t, ri at from 10; to 104. Ocher hills, however, equally tined, perhaps, bur le s known—may be had at or under 10. While the rate is under 104, ruin cannot be shipped to advant ate; but if the cotton shipments shall still be held back, and little other produce goes forward, bills will he scarce, tat., w ill advance, and then again shipments of coin may reeommenee. In Canada the par,..ment is announced to meet on the 25th inst.

When the second edition of the Daily Netr4 reached the City, with the intelligence which will be found in our first column, some influential persons, as we are informed, ex pressed themselves d Jubtful of its accuracy, on the in•sumed fact that no one could 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 us, we will quota the private letter of our correspondent : " PARIS, FRIDAY MORNING. " In the confusion and alariii amidst which we are placed here, and the difficulty, approaching to an impossibility, of finding any means of communication, expeditious or otherwise, with England, I have adopted, as before, the only practicable expedient — that of rending 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 reached Boulogne in safety, and our agent there immediately engaged u 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 transmitted, 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. The following appeared in the National of yes terday (Friday): PROCLAMATION OF TIIE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. TO TILE ERENCII PEOPLE, A retrograde and oligarchic government has been overturned by the heroism of the people of Paris. This government has fled, leaving behind it traces of blood, which will fur ever forbid its return. The blood of the people has flowed, as in July but, happily, it wil not have been shed iu vain. has secured a nutioual and popular government in accordance with the rights, the progress, and the a''r of this great and generous people. A provisional government, chosen by the acclama tion and at the call of the people and some of the deputies of the departments in the sitting of the 24th of Feb., is for the moment invested with the care of I organizing and securing the national victory. It is' composed of MM. Dupont de l'Eure, Lamartine, Cremieux, Arago de l'lnstitut, Ledra-Rollin, and Gamier l'ags. The secretaries to this government I are MM. Armand, Marrast, Louis Blanc, Fj•rdinand Flown, and Aubcrt. These citizens have not hesitated for an instant to accept the patriotic mission which has been imposed upon them by the urgency of the occasion. When the capital of France is under fire, the mis sion of the provisional government is that of public safety. All France will understand this, and will give the assistance of its patriotism. Under the po pular government now proclaimed by the provision -I government, every citizen is a magistrate. Frenchmen, give to the world the example which Paris has given to France. Prepare yourselves, by order and confidence in yourselves, fur those strong institutions which you arc about to be called upon to give yourselves. The provisional government desires a republic, subject to the ratification of the French people, who are to be immediately consulted. Neither the people of Paris, nor the provisional government, desire to substitute their opinion for the opinions of the citizens at large, upon the definite form of government, which the national sovereignty ' shall proclaim. The unity of the nation, formed henceforth of all classes of the people which compose it: The government of the nation by itself : Liberty, equality, and fraternity for its principles: The national device and pass-word to be " The People :" Such is the democratic government which France owes to herself, and which our efforts will assure to her. Such are the first acts of the provisional government (Signed), Dupont (de l'Eure), Lamartino, Ledru- Rollin, Moan, Michel Goudchaux, Arago, Beth- mont Marie, Carnot, Cavaignac, Garnier-I'agee. The municipal guard is disbanded. The protection of the city of }'aria is confided to the national guard, under the orders of M. Courtaie. LATEST NEWS. TELEGRAPHIC DESPATCH. PARIS, FRIDAY NIGHT. Nothing important has occurred since morning. Paris continues tranquil. The Provisional Ministers have been officially in stalled. The National Guard and the armed people protect the capital. Many English are leaving and preparing to leave; others walk about the streets seemingly unconcerned. Foreign letters were delivered this day. DAILY NEWS OFFICE. Since the above was received our despatches have arrived, containing full particulars. PARIS, FRID %T AFTERNOON. The city continues tranquil; the national guard is everywhere wider arms; it has charge of all the public establishments of every description, including the barracks in which the army are confined. The provisional government are delici ring e,,iiges in great numbers to the soldiers. Notices arc posted through the city, authorising bakers and other vendors of pro visions to deliver in their orders, signed by the com manders of the the national guard in the several arrondissements. These orders to be punctually paid by the treasury. The provisions thus obtained to be distributed among the armed population who aid the national guard in the charge of the capital. The inhabitants generally have been visited yesterday evening and this morning by the leaders of the people, demanding arms, for which a written acknowledgement is given, and on each house where they have been thus surren dered the words " Armes donnees" are chalked. The banks are all closed, and it is not expected they will be onened for the transaction of business until next week. the agees-de-change have also suspended business. A meeting is to be held today to decide when the bourse will be re-opened. It will not probably be be fore next week. The moat wren partisans of Louis Philippe and adherents of Gu;zot rankly acknowledge the admira tion with which the conduct of the r ipulace has in spired them. The narrative of all th^t has fallen within oar knowledge or obe3rvation would fill a volume. In the Tuileries all objects of art were respected, as well IN the furniture and decorations of all the apartments appropriated to public purposes, the only exception t 3 this being the harmless indulgence of triumph ex hibited in carrying off the throne and bearing it in triumphal proetssion through the town. When the populace entered, a few of their leaders annonnceed to them rules of conduct, which they willing accepted. Individuals were posted at the several doors to ace that no person departing should carry away any valua ble. This was scrupulously enforced, even as res pected the most trivial articles. Iu the midst of the tumult the most respectable persons, ladies as well as gent'emen, mingled without the slightest molestation, with the populace. In one instance it happened in the Rue de la Paix that a gentleman was insulted by on intoxicated working man, in a blouse, whom the gentleman punished by some slight blows of Isis cane. The surrounding populace, witnessing what happened, seized their offending colleague, and inflicted on him a foi midable punisment, which would have been much more serious but for the intervention of the person whom he had insulted. _ Numerous stories, utterly destitute of truth, are circulated by the party which espoused most warmly the fallen government. The following may afflrd a specimen of these exaggerations : It is reported that when the king's careiages were burned, in front of the Pallas Royale, the horses were also burned. - . The origin of this was probably the fact that the famished peop!c on the night of Thursday roasted the flesh of the horses of the troops which had been killed, and fed upon it. They might have broken into any butcher's or baker's, and obtained other ft,od. We are assured that a forrible scene was exhibited at the HOtel de Ville on Thursday night. The mem bers of the provisional government sat there to decide upon the course to be adopted in the actual situation of the capital. Individually the peat majority of them were opposed to the establishment of an unmiti gated democracy. The populace, however, filled the hall, and completely overpowered them by demon stration of their inflexible purpose of seeing a republic in is most democratic form resolved on. In vain it was attempted to adjoin(' the question till minds I should become calm. Evely proposition of like na ture was met by menacing shouts directed even against the most popular of the members of the government. M. Dupont (de Mute), who made many attempts to defeild the proposition of a republic in its less demo , erotic shape, was compelled to silence by the most deafening shouts of " Dupont i la fenetre," and was so exhausted by fatigue and excitement that he twice fainted. M. Marie met with no better success. The anxieties he underwent had such an effect on his countetinnee, that on leaving the meeting his own son could not recognise him. The populace willed that a pure democratic republic should be formed, and that every male above a certain age should be eligible to the National Guard, and empowered to wily arms. Every attempt to oppose this, in how ever mitigated a form, was the signal of renewed shouts of "Dupont 1 la fenetre !" "Marie a la fenkre." The popular will prevailed, and resolutions were passed in accordance with it. A terrible catastrophe took place at the " poste do garde," opposite the Valais Royale, in the Rue St. Honore. We stated yesterday the fatal obstinacy with which the unfortunate men occupying that post visited every summons to surrender, and leave it, even though their personal safe ty was I guaranteed to them. Ultimately utter interchange of fusillade and much loss of life, fire was applied to the guard-house, which placed its occupants in the hor- Mile alternative of either being burned to death or being shot on issuing from the door. Some chose the latter fate, and fell under a shower of balls. The re mains of more than twenty persons were, we are assured, taken out of the smouldering ruins of the conflagration. Yesterday morning a large number of the armed populace, accompanied by some detachments of the national guard, marched to Vincennes, to seize RIM fort, and to provide themselves with arms and ammu nition from its arsenal. The hostility of the populace to the English was manifested, by their destruction of the British arms erected over the doors of the tradesmen of the British embassy. The chop of Roberts, the apothecary, in the Rue de la Pala, encountered the especial hos tility of the populace. The arms were not only torn down, .ut the w:ndowe and everything in them en tirely destroyed. We were told that some threatening manifestations were made at the gate of the British embassy in ti.e Rue Faubourg St. Honore, over which the British arms are sculptured. It does not appear, however, that any act of positive outrage was committed. The ministers appointed by the provisional go vernment took possession of their various officiai re sidences yesterday, at one o'clock. The streets duriag the day were crowded with pro menaders of both sexes, with all the appearance of a festival. The report of General Lanso-ici4e being wounded is correct. The wound was, however, slight. In order to satisfy the general wish of the people, the provisional government have decided that all po litical prisoners shall be set free. PARIS, 5 O'CLOcK. M. Ledru Rollin has addressed to the prefects of departments a circular, informing them that a repub lican government is formed, and that the nation will be called upon to give it its sanction, and requiring them immediately to inform 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 this morning brought on the backs of men to the post-office, and have been delivered. A proclamation has appeared that 21 battalions of national guards will be immediately organised. Another proclamation calls on all soldiers, who have 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 Hide] of the Minister of the Interior and exhibited an intention of entering the bureaux. but on being addressed by M. lA-dm-Rollin, they went away. The populace, woo were without arms, having ex pressed their intention, as before mentioned, of going to Vincennes to procure them, the Minister of the Interior induced them to desist, stating that it would be ruinoss to the kingdom, as 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. The provisional government having this morning sent M., Fiocon to take possession of that post in the natne of j the nation, he was received with bravos and cries of " Five la republique." At the request of M. Ledru-Rollin the populace started for the Ecole Militaire, to be organtsed as I National Guards, and hold themselves ready, if net d were, to go to the frontiers. 10e.

The exhibition of IS4B will be re opened on the 13th March. The official evening paper, La Patrie, contains the following, under the date of Friday evening : 'A I rumour had spread towards midnight that the Louvre I had taken tire. Such was not the case. The bonfires lighted by the conquerors of the 24th of February, with the remnants of the furniture of the palace of the ex-king, have been put out.

The night has been admirably passed, and the service of the barricades has been admirably performed by the citizens and national guard.

(Telegraph Despatch from Portsmouth.) PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 26. Telegraphic despatches from the Admiralty were received here last night, inquiring it there were four stealth re ready for comoussion. The Stromboli steamer, Lord Beane'Erb, is ordered to be ready tor sea to-night. OVERLAND MAIL. By the telegraph of the Electric Company we learn that the Iliudustau has arrived at Southampton, with the second portion of the Overland Mail. She left Gibraltar on the 20;i. The Madrid kb. two days before. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. By an arrival from the Cape of Good Hope, at Cork, we have Graham's Town journals to the 18th Deeember. Sir Harry Smith had arrived at Graham's Town. In his progress from Algoa Bay, hie excellency met Sir H. Pottinger, en route to the coast, at Sidbury, when a lengthened conference took place on the state of public affairs. The accounts from Kaffirland are not important. They state, however, that Pato had offered to sur render, and give 3,000 head of cattle, together with all his arms, provided his liberty was guaranteed. The belief was that be would surrender unconditionally as soon as he had information of Sir H. Smith's arrival on the frontier. Colonel Somerset was between the Kye and the Buffalo, apparently watching the movements of the Kaffirs in the territory occupied by Umbala, where a large drove of Pato's cattle had taken shelter from the pursuit of our troops, — and respecting which no satisfactory infonnatioa had been obtained from Umbala. although occupyir country on the tenure of adhesion to the British cause. His conduct of late had been well calculated to awaken suspicion, and would, no doubt, have the im mediate attention of the new governor, who knows him well. Colonel Somerset's operations across the Kye had been, upon the whole, very satisfactory. 'rho troops were said to be in the enjoyment of good health and in high spirits, though tired of threading the kloofs and climbing the precipices which mark the features of the country bordering the Kye. It was not supposed that any movement of importance would be made until the arrival in Kaffirland of Sir Harry Smith. In the meantime a good many petty depredations and aggressions by the Kaffirs are re ported. Letters and papers from Natal, up to the 3rd December, state that great excitement prevailed, arising from some apparently hostile movement of %Goias under Panda. 'rhe Boers at Klip River had formed themselves into a laager for mutual defence —and a public meeting of the inhabitants had been rally d at Pietermariritzherg, to take the subject under considi ration. A detachment of mounted military had been ordered towards the scene of apparent danger. In the House of LORDS, yesterday, the Earl of 11.‘n!mules., in a speech condemnatory of free trade, moved for the appointment of a select committee on the navigation laws. Earl GREY would not oppose the motion, though he might not consider a committee necessary, yet it could do no harm, as the more in foreiation their brdshios bad before them the better they would be enabled to deal with any measure that government might submit to parliament on the sub ject to which the motion referred. In the Ilouse of Commotis the questions put to and answered by the government were relative to the late murders at Canton, the rate-paying clauses of the Reform Bill, the Irish loan, foreign tariffs, and the present state of affairs in France.—On the question of going into committee of supply, Mr. HUME moved as an amendment, " that it is expedient that the expenditure of the country should be redueed, not only to render an inerew.e in taxation in this session unnecessary, but that the expenditure should be furl her reduced as speedily as pissible, to admit of a reclue*ion of the present large amount of taxatltin." A somewhat protracted debate ensued upon the general expenditure of the country, and that of the army and navy in particular. at the termination of which the house divided, when tie original question for going into commltee was carried by a majority of 98, the numbr-ra being 137 to 59. The house having gone into committee, the CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER proposed a vote of 1,100,000 f. to defray the expense of the Kaffir war, Mr. HUME moving that the Chairman report pro gress. After a debate the committee divided, when the vote was carried by a majority of 191, the num bers, 232 to 61.—Mr.'1Vstin then moved a vote of 245,410/. I9s. 7d. for the navy excess in 1848-7, which was agreed to.—The Landed Property (Ire land) Bill was read a second time.—Mr. ARLEY proposed the printing of a petition relative to the land tax, which being opposed, on the ground that the petitioner Fought to print his views on that sub. jevt at the expense of the public, a division took', place, when 40 members not being present the house stood adjourned.

The Earl of HARDWICKE said it now became his duty to addrms their lordships on a motion which he Red on the paper praying for a committee of inquiry into the navigation laws, and, if he was able to induce their lordships to give a calm consideration to the subject, which now for the first time for many yenta bad been brought under the notice of parliament, be should be satisfied. In a question of so much detail, having connected with it so many trades and imerests, and also the subject of the national defences, it was de sirable that their lordships should have the opinions of prac tical men on the operation of the navigation laws. (Hear, hear.) But there were other considenrions involved in the question. He found a wide-spread feeling of mistrust in the governiag powers of this country. Opinions were so sod denly and frequently changed, that the people began to doubt whether men in power possessed any filed priociples at all ; and he certainly could see no reason for the recent change of opinion on the subject of the navigation laws. On the lath of March, 1847, a deputation from the shipowners of London were assured by the government that there was no intention of int, rfering in any way with these laws : but on the 23rd Nov. the Queen's speech announced that it was in the contemplation of the government to alter them; and it appeared that in the interval between the 16th March and Nov., a paragraph in an American newspaper announced that Mr. Bancroft, the American minister, had been informed by the Minister for Foreign Affairs in this country that the navigation laws should oe tepealed. That was the first notice the people of England had that there had been any negotiation between Lord Palmenitonsed the American minister on the subject. (Hear, hear.) Thus, not only hail the country been deceived, but the foreign minister was pledged to the people of the United States that these laws should be re pealed, and he thought that was clearly illegal. Before the committee of the House of Commons on the subject of the navigation laws the evidence was one-sided, '26 witnesses being examined in favour of a repeal of these laws, and only 9 against. Mr. Porter had endeavoured to show, in the paper in question, the great advautages of an unprotected trade - but the statements in that paper were false. (Hear.) It had. been stated that it would be an advantage to the West Indians to m-ike a change in the navigation laws; but, as fir as he had been able to ascertain, the West In dians scouted the idea. If the freights were reduced, say 26 per cent., from tie West Indies, they would also be low ered in the same ratio from the East Indies, the Mauritius, and :Aber plaoes, and the reduceica in tip rate of freighlrs would produce no sensible alteration in the price of cotton or tea. But the fact was, the noble marquis was the driver of a theory which was peril/lug the beet interests of the coun try. The polity pursued from 1700 to this time bad Iraised the shipping from 214,ar10 at this moment 3,800,000 tons, and he was convicted that the only saki course wan to pursue the system which had produced such a result. (Hear, hear.) He was convinced that if the American trade were opened it would ruin our colonial trade, wnich at erownt employed 40,000 seamen. W..ite the smallest henetit would be gained by this country we were shout to gives the American commercial navy advan tages that would ruin us. We could not compete with America in this respect. (Hear ' hear.) 'thin, as to Our reciprocity trade, if we referred to theme countries with which we had reciprocity treaties the result would show that they had operated greatly to our disadvantage. Another subject to which he wished to direct attention, was that if the shipowner were allowed to build where he could do so at the cheape't ran, we should soon lose our private dockyards, which were almost as important (referring to the subject of national defences) as the mercantile navy itself. With these mirchatit yards, which had produced u very large pr portion of our military shipping in the last war, we should also lose the numerous artisans wines they employed. I; must be 'sieved that our shipowner. a eild have recouise to foreign shiphuilders an I forei. where they could obtain their vessels much cheaper. BIM this worse' not be all. We must admit foriign seamen also. Abandon the mercantile marine, and we must abandon the navy of England, for in time of war it would be utterly impoesible ever to man it. If their lordships, therefore, were determined tollive en effective :airy, if they desired to have a certain way of =ening that navy in time of war, and if the country wished to have cheap navy esti mates' they mast maintain the protection and the monopoly which the Bri:ish shipowner at present enjoyed. The noble lord concluded by submitting his motion. Earl GREY said, as their lordships were already informed, it was not the intention of her Majesty's government to op pose thia motion. The motion might not be necessary, hut, at any rate, it could do no harm, and it wee his belief that the more information their lordships had th.• better they would be encliled to deal with any measure her Mejests 's government might have her, afar to propose. Hoeing said this, be should be without juetification if he were to follow the noble lord through his various re marks. As there was to be an inquiry, and as a measure was hereafter to come before them, there was no necessity now for a discussion. When the noble lord alto said that the government had changed their views upon this subject, he must beg to say that he thought he had brought forward that charge without sufficient evidence. Lord Clarendon had merely informed the deputations to which the noble lord alluded, that it was not intended to people a change to parliament during the last cession. His ploke did out in any way affect the course to be taken at • future period. Then the noble lord had referred to certain correspondence published in America, Now, if that corre spondence was rightly read, it would resolve itself into a general exprevion to the American minister, to the effect that the government believed a mutual arrangement with regard to slopping would be of benefit to both countries. That was not a statement wliie b ought to subject them to the noble lord's censure. But then the noble lord complained of the mode in which a committee appointed in the other house upon this subject had been selected, and the way in which their inquiries had been conducted. Now he must say that he did not think it a ccnveaient course to discuss in that house how the House of Commons conducted an inquiry. For his owe part, he must say, that he believed the inquiry in the Commons had been conducted with strict justice, and with the most scrupu toys care. (Oh.) It always happened on inquiries of such • sort, that Torre witnesses were examined upon one side than upon the other, and nothing could be fairer than the whole arrangements respecting the examinations in the case is which he alluded. Another point on which he must say a word, was the charge made against Mr. Porter, whom the noble lord had declared to have made a state ment which he mid to be " false." (Hear, hear.) Now what did that charge of falsehood resolve itself into? Nothing else than an erroneous deduction. Mr. Porter's fieures were all correct; hut he took a view of them in which the noble lord did not agree. He bad only to add that he was perfectly willing the committee should he appointed, and that he was very sanguine indeed in his an ticipations that the result would be to afford strong evidence in favour of the measure proposed hereafter to be sub mitted The Eatl of ELLENBOROUGH expressed his gratifica tion that her Majesty's government did not object to the committee. When the noble lord, however, said thnt the present law had been very injurious to the mercantile navy of the country, be was led to infer tle measure the govern ment would propose would be calculated greatly to improve that law. It ouch were the case, he trusted the house would consider no bill that had not lot its object greatly to in crease the traile and the importance of our mercan tile marine. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then agreed to. Their lurdships adjourned at twenty minutes past seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY, FEL 25. Tha BezAm took the their at 4 o'clock. PUBLIC ISUSINF.sS: ...
