ARAI rights, or at least of actieg as a native of the realm should act. lint here experience shows us what a Jew may do, aad how a great country may fall into difficul ties from whieu it may so chance that a Jew can beat relieve it. The Jews stand equal with other citi zens in France. The law makes no distinction be tween them and others. M. CREMIEUX, one of the Provisional Government, is an Israelite, a lawyer, and a deputy. His respectability, experience, and talent give him great weight in the dangerous and onerous position which he has taken. Had the state and government of France proved stepfathers and harsh rulers to all his creed, M. CREMIEUX, with all hie talent, might have been enlisted as a tee to the welfare and greatness of France. As it is, France c.,mmands and gains by the cordial assist ance and energies of such a man as CREMIEUX, and of the financial resources of such a man as Ron's- CHILD. THE REPUBLIC OF FRANCE. Our usual despatches at Saturday, together with Paris journals, have reached us. Our corrispoudent, writing on Saturday evening, says : The absence of any exciting news is perhaps at this moment the best intelligence I can send you ; in truth, the spectacle presented here in Paris on this 4th of March is wonderful, when the great political catas trophe of last week is remembered. It is a practical demonstration, the force of which cannot be resisted, how little real effect upon the course of affairs this or that form of public adminis tration produces. Whether Louis Philippe or M. Dupont de L'Eure preside over the destinies of France things apparently go on pretty nearly in the same manner. Assuredly . no one could discover from the present aspect of th is great capital that any organic change whatever had taken place in the government. That this appearance is not merely superficial, and that little venous importance to the substantial in terests of the property and commerce of the country is attached to the fall of the monarchy sad to the establishment of a republic, is proved by many cir cumstances hourly occurring. The taxes and public contributions of every sort are being paid with an unusual promptitude. It has been the e ractice of the government to accept some of the principal direct contributions payable annually, in eight half-quarterly instalments. In innumerable cases within the last week the inhabitants have come forward and liqui dated in a single payment the contribution of the en tire year. We happen to know that this has espe cially occurred in the case of many of the English residents. Another preof of the prevalence of the same con fidence is presented in a decree of the Provisional Minister of Financ.: issued to-day, in which it is stated that, Considering that the news which hu arrived from all parts of the republic proves that the collection of the taxes is regu larly made, end that the treasury has at its disposal the funds nee , surs Mr tin payment of the half-yt ar'sintereet, to be due on the Vet: instant, on the Fill I,er Cents., the Four and-a-Half per Cents., and the Four per Cents.; and consi dering that the expenses of all departments of the public service are coveren by receipts, the realisation of which i, secured by the return of order and confidence, it is decreed that the half. year's inter. at on the above-mentioned stocks shall be paid in Paris on Monday next, the 6th instant, and in the depeirrmen , s on the 15th. The M inis'er of Finance has further announced that from this day, until further orders, the interest on Treasury Bonds is fixed at 4) per cent. for those pay able at from three to five months, and at 5 per cent. for those running from six to twelve months. It has been further decided that the stamps on jour nals will be enforced until the law afficting that im post shall be modified or repealed by a regularly con stituted legislature, subject, however, to a suspension for ten days before the convocation of the electoral assemblies, in order to give to the elections the greatest possible publicity. The nomenclature which connected the family of the fallen sovereign with various objects and institu tions is being modified. The names of streets, bridges, and places are being changed. The epithet " Royal" is declared obsolete, and is generally changed to " National." Thus the grand opera is no longer " L'Academie Royale de Nltisique," but " Le Theatre de la Nation;" the " Rue Royale" is the " Rue de la Republique," &c. A decree of the Minister of Marine, published to day, changes the names of several vessels of the navy. Thus " La Conronne " becomes " La Barricade" " La Duchene d'Orleans" is transformed into " La Vic toire," " La Charte" is replaced by " La Constitution," " La Refine Amelie " gives place to " La l'arisienne " and the steamer " Le Compte d'Eu " is t ransmuted into " I.e l'atriote." This was a day of great excitement among the Parisians. They had one of those magnificent spec tacles, in the getting up of which they are such adepts, and which they enjoy with so keen a zest. There was a magnificent funeral solemnity on the oc casion of depositing the remains of the victims of last week in the vaults, which are ander the column of July, erected on the Place de la Bastille. Happening to pass last night at eleven o'clock acroes the Place de la 'Madeleine, I observed in front of that edifice an extraordinary bustle, and a vast number of sombre looking fouryons. Waiting to observe what was going on,l saw the coffins of 80 bodies br.ught into the church, where a grand funeral service was performed to day. The procession left the Madeleine and followed the line of the Boulevards to the Place de la Bastille. Fortunately for the effect of this romp de Th.:alre, the day turned out to be magnificent ; the sun shone with splendour, and the pavement and aide walks of the Boulevards, so lately stained with blood, were as clean as a drawing-room carpet. The solemnity passed off without any sinister move ment, and, at the time I write these lines (Saturday evening) the Place de la Madeleine has resumed its usual appearance. Some bankers and merchants waited on Friday on the Minister of Commerce to request the support and participation of the state in the proposed establish ment of a special discount-bank of twenty millions for the relief of the wants that may be experienced in the money market of Paris. The minister, we under stand, did not hold out any promise to these ;gentle men, but requested them to wait upon the Provisional Government this day. The Conetitutiannel publishes the following letter from St. Cloud, respecting the events which occurred in the afternoon of the 24th ult. : Citizens,— For some days put the journals have spoken of the passage of the ex-King by St. Cloud, and all have been in error. Whatever may be my repugnance to make myself talked about, I believe myself obliged to rectify tuts, both a. regards myself and history. When the King arrived at St. Cioud, part of the national guard was under arms, and the rappel was being beaten in the streets to cul- lett the rest. I advanced towards an aide-de-camp who pre ceded the escort, and he said to me, " The Kil,g has abdi wed, and he cdnes to the Palace of St. Cloud." I was re quested to tec. nd to the palace with the captain commanding the national guard ; the King was still on the steps when we arrived. I asked the King what he desired. and he replied, ' I beg of you, Mr. Deputy-Ma) or, to cause the palace to be guarded by the national guard; I shall only remain here a few moments.' The Duke de Montpenaier then asked me for carriages and horses. You will find no horses at St. Cloud, I replied, ' and we have nothing here but public =- Ana.' I was requested to send some, which I hastened to do. The carriages arrived ; I again presented myself at the palace, and I was told that I was thanked, and was requested to thank the national guard. Some instants after the royal family left in two carriages of the establishment of &MM. This is the truth. 0. TAHERE, Deputy-Mayor." In the Rue de la Victoire, on Friday, one of those malefactors who interpret the return to public liber ties to their own advantage, and have spread them selves over the capital and the suburbs, was pursued by some workmen who had surprised him in the act of committing a robbery. Alter a long chase, the thief sought refuge in a private house, where he was soon discovered. He was killed on the spot by stabs from bayonets. In the moment of trouble which fol lowed the revolution, at that time of inevitable dis order, when the authority of the law was suspended, it was necessary to applaud those acts of summary justice which at the same time caused a useful terror, and redeemed the people from the absurd calumnies with which the vanquished never fail to defame them. But to-day order is re-established, the differ ent powers are reconstituted, and legal authority has resumed its course. Thus the beet example to give is to cause public repose to be respected, and to give force to the law ; therefore, slay not culprits, but arrest them. - On - Friday the post of national guards on duty at the Palide de Justice crested a scan droned so a na- tiring guard in the act of abstracting the money which had been put into the box placed at the gate cf the palais for receiving contributions for the relief of the wounded and their families, and the workmen who are out of employ. The national guards, in the first impulse of their indignation at the disgrace brought upon their uniform, were about at once to shoot the thief, and he was already on his knees to receive the fatal volley, when some other citizens interposed, and induced them to leave the culprit to the regular and severe flat of the law. He was thereupon conducted to the Prefecture of Police. The Archbishop of Paris has nominated the Abbe Lacordeire Vicar-General of Paris. The reports which arrive from the provinces still continue to bring the adhesion of all places in the departments, great and small, to the republic. To this there is as yet no exception. Every day also a batch of generals of division, generals of brigade, peers, and other functionaries, send in their adhesion. The committees appointed to transfer to the museums and the treasury, the various objects of art and of value in the Tuileries and at Neu.ily, have terminated their labours, and these places have been closed with sealed doors. Sixty-six paintings from the gallery at Neuilly have been deposited in the museum of the Louvre. The legitimist, as well as the catholic party, has evinced its desire to rally round the Provisional Government. ' The section of the Quinzc-Vingts, so celebrated in our first revolution, has again been formed, and carries on its sittings is the Bth arrondiesement. Its m ission is that of pre parbsg the forthcoming elections and watching the new govern meet, which it wishes to support. The government, which bears the present weight, requires all support the assistance wanted by the HJtel de Ville must be given, but it must be ' that of freemen.—Reffornse. M. Cottu, formerly councillor of the Cour Royale of Paris, and who played a conspicuous part under the ministry of M. de Villa', has had an inter view with the mayor of Versailles, where he resides, to declare, in the name of all the legitimists of that place, that they would sincerely support the Provi sional Government. - -• --- Letters received from Lyons mention serious dis orders which have broken out in that city. The workmen have broken the machinery in several of the factories of the fanbourg and in the tobacco works. It was with great difficulty that the railway to St. Etienne was saved from destruction. Great disquietude prevails in the department of the Lower Rhine. In the arrondissement of Marmontier twenty-five houses, inhabited by Jews, were sacked and pillaged in spite of the presence of twenty-five hussars. Reinforcements were sent for. Violent proceedings against the Jews and foreigners were also feared at Strasbourg. It is reported that the financial state of the de partment of the North, the most important of the provinces, is deplorable. The Bank of Lille has raised its rate of discount to 6 per cent. The advices which arrive from every . part of Northern Italy represent the country to be in a most deplorable state. From Modena letters say that the oppression is extreme, that, in fact, the Modenese are subjected to the military despotism of Austria. The population of Massa and Carrara groan under the Austrian yoke. Since the departure of the Duke of Modena for Vienna a decree of regency under the Archduke Ferdinand was daily expected. Letters from Ancona of the 23rd nit. say that a large British war steamer entered that port on the 22nd, and the commander demanded whether the place was occupied by the Austrians, in which case he would have sailed for a reinforcement. As all wi.s tranquil ho left. Letters from Piacenza of the Nth say that that town is occupied with Croate troops, who act in thou most brutal manner, compelling hotel keepers to sup. ply them, and refuse payment, saying that the Emperor wit pay . for all. Parma is likewise occ ipied by the Austrians. The native troops of this duchy, as well as Modena, are about to be sent to Austria and to be replaced by Austrian troops. A letter from Milan, of the 22d nit., quoted by the Italia of Pisa, says :—" After having promulgated the police-law, the government is making an imposiug dis play of armed force. At every point are sentinels with their muskets ready loaded to fire, and cannon planted. The streets are deserted, the shops closed, all business stopped,and grief and rage are painted in every coun tenance. This sad state of things cannot last long. Cir culars have been sent to all the clergy, rendering them responsible for all that may ensue from sounding the tocsin." From Brunswick, under the date of 'March I, we learn that the troops have been placed upon a war tooting, and arrangements have been made by the railway authorities to convey 25,000 (some say 45,000) Prussian troopeto the Rhine. Numerous copies of an inflammatory pamphlet urg ing the people of Frankfort to a revolution have been seized in that free city. The people of Leipsic are agitating for liberty of the press and for juries. By advices from Malta we have dates from Naples of the 24th ult. Fighting had taken place at,Mes sins, and the grand assault was to take place on the 23rd. Admiral Parker was at Palermo, and Lord Minto was there also. The last constitution given to the Sicilians, and granting them a separate parlia ment, was announced to be suitable to the Sicilians, and the parliament of Palermo was to have been opened on the Ist of March. From Catania we learn that Fort Ferdinand, which was held by 500 Neapo litan troops, had surrendered. By the Levant mail we have received advices from Constantinople to the 17th, with news of the ratifica tion of the treaty between Turkey and Persia. Great praise is given to M. Titoff, the Russian minister at the Porte, for the share he has had in bringing this negotiation to a conclusion. A charge of smug gling, made against the foreign consuls in some of the Turkish ports, bad produced some sensation. The cholera had net absolutely disappeared, but was quite disregarded. EFFECT OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION IN GERMANY. ILLNESS OF THE EMPEROR OF RUSSIA. The following, received by telegraphic de spatch, appeared exclusively in a second edition of our journal on Saturday : Our correspondent at Brussels, writing on the evening of the 3rd, says, " Prussia is making extra ordinary military preparations. The Prussian Diet is about to be convoked immediately." The Germanic Diet published on the Ist instant a proclamation, in which all Germans are exhorted to be united ; and measures, it is said, will be taken to preserve peace at home, and the Confederation from invasion. The following is the text of the procla mation : The Germanic Diet, as the legally recognised organ of the national and political unity of Germany, takes this opportunity of addressing with sentiments of confi deuce the German nation and the German govern ments. Constitutionally entrusted with themission of watching over the internal and external safety of Germany, the Diet expresses the conviction that neither can be guaranteed except by the unanimous co-operation of all German governments and nations, and the conscien tious maintenance of the most intimate union of all the organs of Germany. It is upon that union and that co-operation that are based the power and the inviolability of Germany abroad, and the maintenance of order and tranquillity at home, as well as the respect for persons and for property. The history of Germany shows how fatal are the consequences of disunion amongst governments and nations. May that experience be kept in view during the present excitement, and be turned to advantage in the course of the stormy events which ace, perhaps, in course of preparation for Germany' In the name of their common country, the Germanic Diet invite all Germans to co-operate in preventing the dissolution of that anion and the disturb ance of public order. On its side the Diet will do all in its power to watch over the security of Ger many against attempts from abroad, and to de velop its natural interest at home. Germany must be raised to the rank which belongs to it in the nations of Europe, but union and legal progress can alone lead to that result. The diet kas confidence in the respect which Germany has entertained for the laws, in the most difficult times as well as in the ancient loyalty of its character and the ripener of its intelligence. A monetary panic was expected in Hamburg. There were uo quotations on the Frankfort Bourse on the let of March. Advice, from Vienna of the 27th announce a state of great agitation, produced as much by the news from Italy and the financial embarrassments -of i t vernment, as by the news from France. Metallic Fives offered below par found no buyers. THE EXl',. SS, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 6, 1848. It was reported on Friday evening in Paris that the Bank of Vienna had stopped payment It is certain that its notes were refused by the discounters and money-c C hangers. The urlertthe Gazette of the 2nd says that peti tions had been laid before the chamber demanding the general arming of the people for the following objects : The free election of officers ; a German par liameut, freely elected by the people ; every German who has attained hie twenty-first year to be an elector ; one elector for every thousand souls, and one deputy for every 100,000 ; every German who has at tained his twenty.fi. th year, of a hatever rank, fortune, or religion, can become a member of parliament; the German parliament to be held at Franckfortren- 1 the-Maine ; the parliament to make its own regula tions ; absolute liberty of the press; complete liberty in all affairs relative to religion, conscience, and in struction; trial by jury; the general rights of a Gee'- man citizen ; income tax ; welfare and education of all; protection and guarantee of labour; equitable and economical popular adminieiration ; responsibility of ministers and public efficei s ; abolition of privileges. In the afternoon, after the sitting of the chamber, an immense crowd repaired to the castle, which was guarded, as a measure of precaution. Some voices were heard to demand a political amnesty, and to request that the persons taken into custody on the eve should be set a liberty. Five of these persons were set free. Several deputies of the Opposition requested the crowd to withdraw, a request which they complied with. Patrols of cavalry went round the city , in the evening. The avenues to the Town hall and the prison were guarded by the military. The Cologne Gazette of the 3id says :—The Baden government have announced the abolition of the cen sorship, the establishment of a civic guard, and the introduction of the jury system. From Berlin, under date of Feb. 29, we learn that a courier from St. Petersburg arrived that day at the Russian embassy. The contents of his despatches were immediately communicated to the court, where they made a very profound impression. It was as serted that the courier brought the intelligence of the serious illness of the Emperor of Russia. A few extracts from the German journals may help to indicate the tendency of German public opinon and feeling towards the new state of affairs in France. From Berlin the Allgemeine Preassische Zeitung, of 2d March, declares: — As yet only some isolated seen,s of this last new revolu tionary drama have been but imperfectly developed before us: through them we can detect on .y two agents in the rapid transformation, " faithlessness and brute force."••••• Above all, we adjure the German princes and peoples to be strong in union. All the history of our time—in the face of our western neighbours—preaches this duty to us. Far from to be any thought of meddling in the internal affairs of France, which that country may fashion oat r its own good pleasure; but a lively remembrance of a period not far removed, and of the degradation of Ger many, commands us sharply to watch the movements of France, that Germany may be ready to repel in blood any new passion for improving the happiness of her peopleathord• ing to Fr.neh theories. • • • IVe will tolerate no sub version of the treaties which have been the foundation of a European peace of thirty years' duration. We will regard every breach of them as a deetarotitm of war. From Leipzig, the Deutsche ...Illgenseine Zeitung issues its manifesto. On the; 28th of February the news of a regency was announced, with sympathy and congratulation, by this journal : a note appended to the article declared, however, that since it was written the editors had heard with fear and trembling of the installation of a republic. Even amid its terrors, however. and while proclaiming the necessity of keeping on the alert, it protested on the 2d of March : Before everything, in regard to France, let there be no intervention—no attempt to excite reactant—no Russian alliance. Let our policy be national. From Munich, the Austrian organ, the Allgenteine Zeittiny (February 29), speaks thus : Weedier the republican term of government in France bespeak lung life or short, there can be no doubt that the excited spirit of the nation will too soon impel its forces *cr.. , the frontier towards Italy and Germany. Every re flecting man must be full of this anticipation. Two of these journals are organs of the two most powerful governments in Germany ; the other is a firm advocate of popular government. The Prussian organ professes a desire to avoid intervention, but paints the revolution in the most hateful colours, and appeals to treaties which may easily bo twisted so as to afford a pretext for aggressive war. The organ of Austria proclaims that there is no doubt that Germany will be invaded, and that the country mast arm. The reforming organ evidently shrinks from the idea of a republican party, from distrust of that form of government—partly from fear that the effect of its establishment may drive the German princes to rash acts of frantic fear. These indications, combined:with the universal call to arms from German authorities, are, notwithstanding specious protestations that de fensive measures alone are in contemplation, the reverse of tranquillising. The Journal de. Franefort of 2nd March announces a remarkable motion made in the Darmstadt Second Chamber. It was of an address to the Grand Duke to move the Dietof the Germanic Confederation to the effect that an interim chief (or head) of Germany be authorised to provide for the security of the nation ; and that he be empowered to enact laws and impose taxes, with the assistance of a council of princes and a council chosen by popular election. MALTA, FEB. 2d. On the 14th a Mr. E. Baker was married to the daughter of Mr. E. Goodenough, the proprietor of the Malta Mail. The day previous to the marriage the young lady abjured the protestant religion, and was baptised in the Cathobo church. The bridegroom has been a widower upwards of three mouths ! Mr. B. an intimate friend of the Jesuit Padre Esmonde. This conversion, or rather the taking up of a religion, will no doubt be the subject of a long article in the Tablet. The triumph will he the greater, when they reflect that the Malta Mail hay, until the last two months, been the moat bitter of all the enemies tha Jesuits had in Malta. Even now there is a criminal information out against it fcr a libel on Padre Esmond.. I understand that this is the only in stance known, in Malta, of the conversion to the catholic re ligion of a person born and educated in England. The lady's grandfather is Archdeacon Goodenough, of some place near Bath. The double fact has occasioned no small sensation. The French steamer, Alexandre, arrived here e irly in the morning of the 19th from Alexandria, having on board his Highness, Mehemet Ali, Pacha of Egypt, secretaries, phy sicians, and suite, to the number of 64 persons. His highness was saluted by the battery, and by the Ceylon. He landed in Fort Manoel to perform his quarantine. Every attention was shown him by Rear-Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis. The Austrian, French, Neapolitan, and Brazilian consul' waited in Ai tan Bay, and lett cards for his highness. lie is suffer ing severely from dysentry, and has hien recommended to try Naples or Pisa, for a change of air. The Odin has been placed at his disposal wh he chose. to sail, which, it is said, will be in a few days. The Locust started the same evening with despatches for the admiral, to &worm him of the l'acha'e arrive/. Mehemet Ali passed a very bad night on the 19th and 20th. The day after his arrival, the night of 20th and 21st, he passed more favourably. A bulletin, issued to visitors on the 21st stated, " Better this morning." Since then Mehemet Ali has wonderfully improved. He will take pratique on the 2 , .,d March. A wing of the palace ha b een prepared for 'ids reception. lie will probably remain some time hete, as he finds his health so much int- proving. Sir Thomas Reatle intends to pension, at two dollars each per month, the Arabs who behaved so humanely to Lieut. Woke and the survivors of the Avenger. A mat melancholy suicide occurred on the might of the 22nd, at the Princess Royal Hotel. The unhappy person was the Rev. R. Irvine, incumbent of St. John's, Waterloo.. road, London, who arrived here three months ago, to. im prove his health—in fact, he appeared quite reoorr red ; his former weakness had altogether left him, and he confessed that the air of Malta had so far restored him that he had never been se well for twenty years. He wulound in his room early on the morning of the 23rd, with both carotid ar teries completely severed, and the razor in his hand. His death must have been incantaneons.. ATHENS, ran. 20. I informed you in my last that the holidays were over, and that the senate was discussing the project et the jury law. The ministry bad not the least doubt but the reinforcement they bad smuggled into the senate in the shape of new members would enable them to carry every qu• stion before them. They reckoned without their host. The opposition succeeded in opening the eyes of the minis terial members to the iniquity of several of the clauses in the project, and notwithstanding all the efforts and eloquence of M. Culocotroni, the senate decided by a majority of 21 to 16 to continue the system now in force until next May. The budget of 1848 has not yet been submitted to the senate. The budget of 1817 is not yet pissed. A project of a law for 130,000 drachmas has been presented to the Chamber of Deputies, to indemnify the national bank for the lU , s it suffered during the late ettoeule in Petra'. M. Mussur..s has performed twelve days quarantine at Bain', on account of the cholera at Constantinople ; he will get pratique this morning. Many are anxious to see the presentation of the sturdy old Turk to his Hellenic Majesty. There is a rumour afloat here, that the King of Bavaria is coming here in propria persona, end that Lola Monies and her bud-dug is coming with him. The ministers declare they have no objection to the old gentlemen and the fair Mdesian, but protest in tun) against any more bulldogs. They h ,d enough last year when they had to pay down the • interest of the loans, and recently another baiting to pay the I 30,000 drachmas guaranteed by the Eng lish consul a t Pe t ra " , '.. to the rebels, as ransom for the town of Patras. They have been compelled to yield. CONSTA.NTINOPLE, FEB. 17. The long-pending boundary question between ' Turkey and Persia has been at length brought to • close. The tresty, a copy of which was published in the lir press ith,re than twelve months ago, was ratified on the 15th instant. Five hundred Italisns dined together yesterday at the Hotel d'Angleterre, to celebrate the recent events in Italy. The banqueting hall was hung with banners, and the B.sg of England was in several conspicuous places, draped with that of the Cisalpine republic, of Venice, and of Genoa. The Nuncio reused to be present at the dinner. Several pa triotic toasts were drank, and eloquent speeches made in praise of Pope Pius IX., and of those principle a which are now convulsing Italy. On the 13th inst. Baron Tecco, the Sardinian minister, gave a diplomatic dinner in honour of the Nuncio. Today a similar dinner will be given by the Russian ambassador, in honour of Signor Ferrieri, which will be followed by a ball, for which EOM hundred invita tions have been issued. ARRIVAL OF THE DUCHE96 OF ORLEANS AT EMS. The unfortunate duchess and her two children arrived on the 2nd inst. at Ems, in Prussia. The party, accompanied by a French nobleman, escaped from Paris in a one-horse vehicle, with which they reached Aix-la-Chapelle. There they took the rail way to Cologne. After passing the night at Deutz, opposite the latter city, they took the steamer next day to Coblentz, and thence proceeded to Ems, where they are at present remaining. Shortly atter their arrival they were visited by Madame Thile, the wife of the commanding general of the district. BRUSSELS, Miami 4. It on tbeirside, the people of thiscountry have proved, by their conduct during the last stirring week or ten days, that they are imbued with a true spirit of patriot ism, and that I hey are desirous ofremaining " Belgians," the King of their choice, on his part, appears to be al together—to quote a French phrase—a to hauteur de sa mission. I have grounds for believing that his :Majesty has given full powers to his cabinet to make any proposition to him which they may think advan tageous for Belgium. The King is prepared for any event which may occur. Perhaps people on your side of the channel do not discern clearly enough the growth of nationality in this country, or understand exactly the relative posi tion of this kingdom with respect to France. It was well observed the other day in the Chamber of Re presentatives, that if French ideas set out upon a tour of the world, there was no necessity for them to pass through Belgium, as nearly all the great measures uow introduced or announced in the neighbour ing nation, either positively . or virtually exist in this land. Royalty itself is but a fiction, and, moreover, not a " splendid" one here as it is in England. Liberty of the press and liberty of association exist in their fullest extent; al religions are not only tolerated but protected ; .personal freedom is gua ranteed ; constitutional rights are secured by the charter, and the monarchy itself is a national super structure, the work of a national congress. More over the free play of constitutional institutions allow of improvement and modification of institutions, when necessary, and recent measures show that neither the King nor the cabinet uphold a syste m of " finalit y ." By becoming a republic, Belgium—a neutral country —would gain no new liberties, certainly none that it cannot constitutionally obtain. The Chamber of Representatives has just voted unanimously the bill for bestowing the franchise upon all Belgians pay ing direct taxes to the amount of 42f. 32c. Yester day a bill was brought forward for making English gold pieces and the new Dutch silver florins " a legal tender" in this country. The bill was referred to the sections. As soon as any new popular measure is announced in France the leading Journals of this country assert, in fact generally prove, that Belgium has anticipated its powerful neighbour. Some of the Jesuits, fearful of an outbreak here, have taken steps to secure their property : the precaution, however, appears to be unnecessary. 6 p. m. It has transpired that the Belgian cabinet has resolved to lay before the Chambers, as soon as poseible, a bill for parliamentary reform on the broad est basis. The French residents in Brussels will as semble to-morrow in order to give in their adhesion to the republican government. One of the great li beral associations of Belgium will alas meet to mor row. No boons as yet. _ COLONIAL. AUSTRALIA.—We have Sydney papers to the 10th of November ; Maitland to the 7th ; Port Philip to the 20th of October; and Hobart Town to the 'loth. 'she in telligence they bring is not of much novelty. The feeling in Van Dienian's Land against Use government proposal for transferring thither the penal settlement and convicts from Sydney, was in a state of increasing excitement. A public meeting had been held, at which the proposition was repro- bated in the most unmeasured terms; end petitions, founded on resolutions pawed in that sense, were adopted, one to her Majesty, and another to the Lieutenant-Governor, request ing him to suspend the execution of the measure until fur ther orders could be received from England. ARRIVAL OF LOUIS PHILIPPE AND QUEEN AMELIE AT CLAREMONT. It was arranged on Friday night that the royal party should leave Newhaven at an early hour on Saturday morn ing, Captain Hotham, the chairman of the Brighton and Continental Steam-packet Company, and a director of the South Coast Railway Company, mane the necessary arrange meets for their Majesties' journey to the metropolis. Their Majesties retired to rest at eleven o'clock. On Saturday morning the breakfast, of which their Ma jesties partook heartily, was prolonged by several arrivals. Mr. Laurence and Lady Jane Peel were amongst the earliest visitors who arrived, and a lengthened and animated conver sation ensued. Count Duchatel, the ex-Minister of the In terior, also arrived from the Bedford Hotel, Brighton, but he only remained a quarter of an hour. At ten o'clock Mr. Peckham introduced between forty and WV of the inhThitantsof Brighton, Newhaven, and the neighbourhood to the sx-King, whom they heartily con gratulated on his safe arrival. He appeared much excited, and replied nearly as follows : " I am delishted, gentlemen, i to see you. This s indeed most kind. I feel that lam safe in your great nation, under the protection of your excellent Queen. I thank you for your kind hospitality. I have spent many happy days in Er kid, i and I know I can always depend upon Englishmen.' He s also reported to have made the following remarkable declaration: "Charles X. (exclaimed the ex-King) was destroyed for breaking the charter, and I have been overthrown for defending it, and keeping my oath. I wish this to be distinctly understood, and I hope it will be made known." The Queen, who ap peared much affected, ejaculated several times, unconsciously clasping the bouquet between her hands with considerable force, Oh, indeed ! indeed, it is kind—it is most kind!" The deputation then retired. As soon as his Majesty had concluded breakfast he was ap prised by Mr. Peckham that a large party of ladies and gen tlemen from Lewes were anxious to have the honour of con retulating him upon his safe arrival. With gr eat courtesy he appointed an immediate meeting, in the great room of the hotel, to which the company resorted. Upon entering the room, Mr. Blaker adds seed his Majesty as follow. The large party of ladies and gentlemen in this room have come from the ancient and loyal town of Lewes, to congratulate your Majesty upon your arrival on these shores; and We trust that neither your Majesty nor your royal consort have experienced any evils from your hazardous and dangerous plumage." His Majesty immediately responded, " I thank you most heartily for your kindness. You know I have al ways been a faced to England, and I am now come to seek shelter and security in these dominions under her gracious Majesty your Queen." His Majesty then reiterated his thanks, and shook each of the company heartily by the hand. Immediately afterwards his Majesty retired to a carriage which was waiting for him, and, with the Queen, they pro ceeded to the station, where a special train was waiting. Meanwhile, information of the ex-Ring's intention to leave Newhaven at.= early hour having been forwarded to the members of the ex-royal family already arrived in London, with an intimation that the royal fugitives would l i leave the railway at the Croydon station, the Duke de Ne mours and the Duke and Duchess Augustus Saxe-Coburg left town at an early hour for that place, to be in readiness to receive their illustrious relatives. The Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg arrived at the London-bridge station in one of the Queen's carriages, from Buckingham palace. Th ch e i i : r zt raal highnesses met on the platform , and having ex salutations , were shown into a carriage by Mr. Pulf , the superintendent of the joint stations. The royal party left by the 9 a.m. train, and arrived at Croydon in about half an hoar. By the Duke de Nemours's expressed desire, no intima tion of their expected snivel was made, and on alighting at the Croydon station they gave up their tickets in the ordi nary way, requesting at the same time permission to occupy a small waiting room. This was at once granted, and the exiled prince and princess, with the husband of the latter entered it and sat down before the fire. The whole party appeared deeply depressed, but the Prioress Clemen tine, who is a very interesting woman, bore up wonderfully, and appeared to endeavour to cheer her brother. After hav ing waited some time, the royal party, ascertaining that nO train was expected rom Newhaven until nearly Eleven o'clock, left the station, and took a short walk into the village. As they were very plainly dressed, their appear ance excited no observation, and after strolling about for some little time, they returned to the station to await the arrival of the train then nearly . due. The train drew up alongside the platform at a few minutes agar eleven o'clock. All the were on the plat- MIN eel as Ihe eeeliese. by the primes Inked. anxiously for their royal relatives. The ex-King and Queen, however, did not tome by this train, bat a special messenger arrived, who brought intelligence of the fact that the es-monarch would leave Newhaven at half-part ten o'clock by a special train, and that he might be ex pected to reach Croydon about twelve. At a quarter put twelve a signal was gees that the special train war in eight. The royal party had been on the plat form for some time previously, anxiously waiting its arrival, and now emotion was painfully depicted on the countenances of the royal fugitives. In a few wastes after the signal ha been given the train drew up within the station, and a scene ensued which we feel totally unable adequately to describe. Suffice it briefly to relate the acts—any attempt to eubsten tiate by description the makes of the scene can but fall in finitely short of the reality. At the moment the train was brought to a stand-still, the Duke de Nemours rushed towards the window of the carriage in which his exiled parents were seated, and grasping his father's head he covered it with kisses. The Queen, who was sitti-.,g on the right of her royal husband, and was consequently further from the platform, on observing the duke gave utterance to a scream, apparently from excessive Jay, and then fell back in her seat. The door the carriage having been opened the ex-King alighted and immediately embraced his son with great apparent fer vency, kissing him again and again, while the tears poured down Ilia furrowed cheeks. The next moment the ex monarch clasped in hie arms the Princess Clementine, who was standing close to her brother. The princess, who up to this moment had maintained an admirable self possession, now gave vent to her stifled feelings, and sobbed convul sively The ex-King kissed her unceasingly for some mo ments, and then turning to her august husband, embraced and greeted him affectionately. The Queen recovering her self in a few momenta, stepped out of the carriage after the King sod successively embraced, with intense feeling, her royafchildren. The whole party were for some time muck agitated, and apparently altogether unconscious of the pre , Bence of strangers. The first burst of emotion over, the royal fugitives were conducted into the waiting room, where they remained for some time in seclusion. After the lapse of about a quarter of an hour, the ex- King sent for Mr. Greaten, with whom he warmly shook hands, expressing at the same time his grateful acknowledg meets for the courtesy and attention which had been shown to his convenience. The King then requested to be intro duced to the chairman and those of the co-directors present, and Mr. Orenfell having communicated his ex-Majesty's desire, the following gentlemen, members of the board, were duly presented to the ex-monarch and his nal consort, — Mr. Pareons, Mr. Schuster, Mr. Nix, Mr. Thompson, and Mr. Edward Crowley. The ex-King shook hands with each, and repeated the acknowledgments he had previously ex pressed to Mr. Orenfell. At half-past twelve the ex-King entered one of the hired carriages above alluded to, the Queen, with the Duke de Nemours and the Princess Clementine, taking seats in the same vehicle. As the ex-monarch entered the carriage he was cheered by the persons assembled around the station. Several pressed forward, and begged permission to shake bands with the exiled King, a favour which he very readily allowed to all who sought it. One gentleman apologised for the liberty he bad taken in grasp ing his Majesty's hand, on which the exiled monarch re marked, " Oh, do not apologise, sir. I receive your hand as a token of your friendship of the friendship, I ought to say, of the British people." 't he es-King addressed similar ob servations to several other persons, and appeared greatly moved at the kindness of feeling @boon towards him. The re maining members of the party having entered the other two carriages the whole three drove off in the direction of Clare went, which is distant from Croydon about fourteen miles. As the ex-monarch drove out of the station-yard, he was again loudly cheered by . the spectators. The royal party arrived at Claremont at three o'clock. About five Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Bouverie, arrived to pay his respects to their Majesties, having travelled from the metropolis by a special train on the London and South-Western Railway. Prince Albert, atter an interview with their Majesties, took his departure and returned to town. The ex-King and Queen of the French have assumed the title of the Count and Countess of Neuilly. Yesterday . morning the Duke and Duchess de Mcnt. pensier arrived from East Sheen, and joined the other members of the ex-royal family for the first time since they had kft Paris. Their royal highnesses would have reached Claremont on the previous evening, but in the absence of co.rect information on the subject they remained at East Sheen, in momentary expectation of the arrival of their royal relatives at that Pte• PROPERTY OP THE ROYAL FAMILY OP FRANCE. —A correspondent, whose kind appreciation of our successful exertions to diffuse early and correct information respecting the movements now in progress across the chart. nel is gratifying, objects to " the wholesale appropriation by the Provisional Government of the royal treasure, plate, jewels and valuables; " and calls upon us to remonstrate with the French people and their rulers on this subject. We feel convinced that nothing of the kind is required. The property in the possession of the late dy nasty previous to the revolution was partly crown property—belonging to the chief magistrate of the state as such—that is, national property ; partly private family property. The former of course remains the property of the nation. Of the latter a goodly portion is out of the reach of any French government, and we entertain no doubt that what. of it is within their reach will be duly restored, as soon as it is seen that the exiles do not contemplate using it to disturb the peace of the country; if, indeed, this precaution be thought necessary. We do not say this upon vague surmise. A correspondent in Paris, who has access to the first sources of information, writei, " The Orleath are lost. People here are so confident, that they care little for the English nobi lity's compliments on receiving them. Indeed, the Provi atonal Government sent a large awn of money to the Duchess of Orleans, with her Jewels. Nothing would have been done to the King but to show him out respectfully." Inc Court. Prince Leopold, Count de Syracuse, had an audi ence of the Queen on Saturday afternoon, at Buckingham Palace. Ha royal highness was attended by his excellency General Prince Cattelcicala, the Neapolitan minister, and the Chevalier de Collona His royal highness was intro duced by Viscount Palmerston, G.C.8., and conduced by the Hon. Sir E. Cut, K.C.H., her Majesty's muter of the ceremonies. The Queen was attended by Lord Elphinstone, lord in waiting, and Lieut.-Col. the Hon. It. Boyle, groom in waiting. The Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg, attended by the Baronne de Waugenheim and Baron Fritsch, left Buckingham Palace at twenty minutes before six o'clock on Saturday morning for the London-bridge station en route to the continent. A cabinet council was held on Saturday afternoon at the Foreign-office. It was attended by the Lord Chan cellor, the Marquis of Lansdowne, Sir G. Grey, Viscount Palmerston, Earl Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Earl of Auckland, Sir J. Hobhouse, Lord Campbell, the Right Hon. H. Labouchere, the Marquis of Clanri carde, and Viscount Morpeth. The council sat one hour and a half. INDISPOSITION OF LORD I. RUSSELL.—The Pre mier has retired for a few days to Hutings, to recover from an attack of influeusa. LORD BROUGHAM.—Lady Brougham has received letters from the south of France which state the noble and learned lord to be detained at Cannes from indisposition. His lordship was too unwell to risk the fatigue consequent on travelling, and therefore could not leave on his return to England so soon as he had contemplated. THE New BISHOP op CLIESTER.--Tile Obserrer believes that Dr. Graham, of Cambridge, well known u an able scholar and eminent divine, will be selected to fill the vacancy on the episcopal bench., caused by the translation of the present .Arcbbiehop of Canterbury. THE ROYAL SOCIETY.—THE 'MARQUIS OF NORTH AMPTON'S CONVERDAZIONZ.—The Marquis of Northampton, so president of the Royal Society, gave the first of the cus tomary annual series of four WiteeS en Saturday last, at his lordship's residence in Piccadilly, to the fellows of that learned society and the mem'ers of the principal literary and scientific institutions of the metropolis. The com pany began to assemble at nine o'clock, and the visitors comprised all the leading celebrities in the various pursuits of science and art. In the several saloons numerous works of modern art were exhibited, and among the most attractive were some of the last productions of Felix Sum merley's art manufactures. Mr. A. Rain had his recently invented electric telegraph, with all its apparatus. Mr. Goadby submitted to general inspection some of the marine enient/ obtained in a dredging expedition on the western ;out of Scotland, the Orkney and Shetland Islands, in June, July, and August last,entirely new to many naturalists, from never having been preserved, which was now achieved by • that gentleman's celebrated preserving fluid. Professor E. Forbes, who accompanied the expedition, was present with proof engravings of the different classes of animals, and gave 1 an interesting explanation in reference to results obtained 'oy ' the expedition. A beautiful collection of illuminated church carols of the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, front the churches of Italy, the Greek Archipelo, and Syria, engaged marked attention. They were certainly exquisite specimens of art of those early ages, and the colours and gold embla zonicgs retained all their pristine brilliancy. The new aneroid barometer, and a variety of other objects, must be passed over without particular mention. INQtESTS, SAITHDAY.—EXTRAOILDINAILY AOct- DnNT.—By Mr. Mills, at the Penton Arms Tavern, Barrow street, Clerkenwell, on the body of James Boxall, a boy of nine years of age. A short time ago the deceased was left en orphan, when Mr. Kingshott, ha uncle, a cowkeeper and dairyman of Barrow-street, adopted him, and kept him in his house, where,e was treated with care and tenderness. lie was of a playful dispo-ition, always amusing himself in the towelled and stable, and on several occasions he was observed swinging himself with a jack-towel behind the door of the shed. On Thursday last the deceased had been miming for some time, when on James Skipp, a lad in the employ of Mr. Kingshott, entering the shed, he found the deceased suspended by the jack-towel. Re made an alarm, when Mr. Kingshott proceeded thither immediately, ren dered every assistance, and sent for a surgeon, but the box was quite dead. There were no external marks on the neck, and it was evident that the deceased mast hare been amusing himself swinging by the towel, when by some means it twisted around his neck and strangled him. Ver dict : " That the deceased died through accident W. strangulation."—EXTlLSOlDlN•RT 8131CIDT..—By Mr. W, Carter, at the Royal George Tavern, Great George-Wert, Bermondsey, relative to the death of Emma Bodes, aged 17 years, lately in the service of Captain Boxer, R.N.—John Boxer stated thatthe deceraed had been in his father's service about 6 months. She was a girl of a eery cheerful disposition, • awl stomp snessil 81064 with bun sitastiss Q Dam day morning last, about eight o'clock, witness rang his bed room bell, bat not receiving an answer to it he went be search of deceastd, and alter a considerable time he di& wetted her suspended to • beam in the coal cellar. Witness called in a neighbour, who cut the deceased down. She was quite dead, and when teen by • surgeon to said she had been so above half an hour. Witness after wards discovered two letters on her bedroom table, white were proved to be in the deceased's handwriting. One will addressed to her brother-in-law, of Commertial-road, Lam beth, and wee to the following effect: Ism • poor unhappy wretch and miserable sinner. Could I bell once more see my kind parents, but I um shall again, nee any one on earth. Farewell to all, farewell w all, I must go. Emma Barlsedsgerted this life March 1, 1843. The outer letter was also handed to the coroner by Mr. Slow, the offici t, and ran as follows : My dean father and mother, 1 write there few lints to you. and am extremely sorry to hear you are unwell, but trust 17 the ton-i.ing d God, you will e.-. o b be better. I hope that when t doe. you veal lit me be buried at Newel:Lurch, my nstise home; for I to.° of l should sever rest in such a smoky plane as Bcrtaoodsey.—Your affectonate daughter, ZllllO. beaus. The lost-named letter was directed to her father, Mr. Buries, of Newchurch, Berta, who was present daring the inquiry ; and ill answer to the Coroner and jury, he stated that he • a his family could not account in any way for the committal of such au act.—Several It itnesies were hors ermined, but none could throw any light on the cause al the rash deed, which w.is fully believed to he from her owes hand.—Th , leaned Coroner remarked on the ruse at great length, and obsi reed that it was one of a most mysterious character, and difficult to unravel. Be, however, kft the jury to consider their verdict, and after half-as-hour's de liberation they agreed to the following. " That the dcce teed destroyed herself whilst labouring under temporary in..atal derangement." . IRELAND. DciLpc, MARCH S. The " Confederates " held their wide in the Ro tund° last evening. The meeting was more MIMI' one than select, and the cry was " still for war." None of the great blmbs of the confederate arFend exploded, Mr. l)uffy being orator en chef, and he has by no means the qualities of Caesar. Having dilated on all the virtues that become men worthy of liberty, and excited a larger share of applause than him on his last appearance, his ears were un tiferteuttely split with a shout for Mitchel and the United Irishman. That was a sore rub. The meet ing was remarkably innocent. Lord Wall:court, the chairman, has not the stuff of which revolutionary leaders are made, or revolutionary audiences are in spired. The addresses of Mr. R. Hawes and Lord Robert Clinton appear in the Cork paper. Mr. Hawes advo cates the great principles of commercial and civil free dom which are animating the world; while the duke's son is content to pursue the same " upright, honest, and honourable principles that have influenced his friend, the late member, in and out of parliament." lie does not add purity to the catalogue of analogous virtues. PROVINCIAL. OLOUCMTERSUIRE. ROBBERS AND ATTEMPTED MURDER.—On Satur day, at Cheltenham, William Smith, a young man, was charged wish firing a pistol at an old woman, named Anne Farley, on the turnpike-road between ChelUnhain and Tewksbury, near Piff's-elm, with intent to rub and murder. The court was crowded to excess by persons anxious to heat the proceedings.—Anne Farley deposed that,on the previous Wednesday, she came to Cheltenham, in a cut, to sell but ter, and decided upon returning to her home at the L. jab, about six miles distant, at three in the afternoon. At five o'clock she reacted a place called Uckington, and there re ceived some money from a Mr. Until. As she was tear tact inn this business she obs.vved the prisoner pass the hi use. but did not take any notice of the circumstance. She pro seeded on her journey for about two miles, and had re.e-hed a spot distant about a quarter of a mile from a place wiled Pills-elm, when she observed the pri-oner wending ' heap of stones by the road side. He immediately ad- vaned, pistol in hand, and demanded her money. She replied she had none, and he fired the pistol in het face ; then, hearing footsteps approaching, he made off. She was found in a state of will blood streaming from her face and hands, by Philip Fri.*, a bricklayer, whe had beard the report of the pistol.—Mr. Hambridge, superintendent of the Cheltenham police, sp prehended the prisoner, on whose person was found a braes of pistols loaded, bullet-mould, pistol-key, swan hot, and powder. The shoes were taken off his feet, and c .:pared with a number of footmarks in the vicinity of the place where the offence was committed, and they exactly corre sponded.—Two men, named James Until and Robert Alder, deposed to seeing the prisoner in the vicinity of Pars-elm n short time before theolfence was said to have beencommitttd. —The prisoner was fully committed for trial.—He was then. charged with stopping Mary Bliaird on the highway, and threatening to thrust a lung dagger into her body if she did not deliver up her money. tin this charge he was also coin mitted.—He was likewise committed for a similar offence against a young woman named Jane Merrick, in the service of the Rev. J. Byrch, of Uckington. MONMOUTHSHIRE. REPRESENTATION OF MONMOUTHSHIRE. The Gloucecter Chronicle says, " The death of Lord Granenla Snmerset has materially altered the aspect of Monmouth shire politics. A number of conservatives voted at the elec tion last summer for Lord Granville on grounds of pens al friendship and we are able to state that the result of the registration which has since taken place shows a conserva tive gain of upwards of 300." Mum ROYAL ACADEMY OP MUSIC.—The first of the an nual concerts of this institution took place on Saturday morning, in the Hanover-square Rooms. •Vithin these few years there has been a gradual improvement in the character of these concerts. Their vocal portion does not now, as it once did, consist almost exclusively of pieces taken from modern 'ltalian operas, as if the only object of the academy were to serve as a nursery fur the stage ; bat the selections, both vocal and instrumental, are of a higher cut, and indi cate a more severe and classical course of study. The first part of Saturday's concert was a selection from Mendelssohn% List and greatest work, the oratorio of " E'ijah ;" and the miscellaneous pieces were all of an excellent kind. In re gard to " Elijah," it is evident that Mendelssohn's grand choral effects cannot be produced with a small number of voices and in so narrow a 1111•02 as the Hanover-square Rooms ; but the choruses selected were, for the moat part, those which depend least upon physical power of sound; such as the plaintive cry of tLe people, " Help, Lord, wilt thou quite d, .troy us 1" and the prayer of the priests of Baal; both of which had a beautiful effect. In some of the others, particularly that astonishing piece of musical paint ing, " Behold, God the Lord passed by !" the choral voices were unable to contend with the strength of the in strument.. Mr. R. Latter, who gave soma of the finest recitatives and airs in the character of ElijnA, acquitted himself of his arduous task with considerable ability. He has a fine baritone voice, and his enunciation was clear and distinct, though monotonous from deficiency in variety of emphasis. Mr. Peed, too, delivered the recita tives, " Ye people, rend your hearts," and " Man of God, now let my words be precious," with promising talent. But both these young singers have a lesion to learn (which few English gingen, by the way, ever learn), that recitative Is more akin to speech than to song. Both of Mend , lerehn's oratorios, " St. Paul " and " Elijah," are spoiled and rendered heavy by inattention to this coesideratfon. Staudigi alone has given dramatic effect to the character of Elij6h by his energetic declamation,—no other person havirg entire. voured to follow his example. The very imperfect ck of almost every English singer must proceed from come great fault in their tuition. The duet, " Lord, bow thine ear to our prayer," was very well sung; and in the unaccompanied trio, " Let thine eyes to the mountains," Misses Holeujcl, Rumford, and Salmon, were deservedly encored. Among the miscellaneous pieces were two pianoforte performances—the slow movement and rondo of Beethoven's concerto, in C minor, by Mr. Allred Gilbert; and a part of Sterndale Ben nett's tine concerto in F minor, by Mr. Whitehead Smith. Both these young pianists did themselves credit, 1 specially the latter. bliss Taylor, in Haydn's air, " With verdure clad," showed a brilliant and flexible voice, with which 'he may one day do great things ; and Miss Ransfi.rd sang Per golesi's "0 Lord, have mercy upon me" with purity and expression, The duet, with chorus, from Mendelsaohn'e Lobgesang (or hymn of praise), "I waited on the Lord," sung by ?CU A. Lincoln and Mies Owen, was very beauti fully given. The rob() parts were chastely and feelingly sung, and judiciously accompanied by the subdued seises of the chorus. We must not overlook Mr. Mount,* young contra. basso player, who exhibited a remarkably smooth tore and articulate execution in a trio of Handel. The concert, on the whole, was very satisfactory, and creditable bet'd to the academy and the pupils. UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL. CANIIIIIDOI.—King's Casey : T.
