THERE at least can be no longer a doubt as to what are the views and aims, with regard to finance, of the party of progress in this country. The debate of last night provoked a full and able manifestation. And we own, that it was wanting. Hitherto, those parties and persons who should have been most staunch in the support of free trade and of that system of taxation which can alone allow the poor and the industrious the benefit of it have shown most woeful signs of hesitation, weakness, and even cowardice. The powerful attack made by the pro tectionists, and DISRAELI especially, upon direct tax ation, and upon the abrogation of import duties, was met or anticipated by a very poor-spirited speech from Sir ROBERT PEEL, which, in stead of a full and bold defiance, betrayed a wavering and doubtful confidence in his own mea nies and their result. The total want of courage which has abandoned the throne and dynasty of a neighbouring kingdom seems to have affected, like an epidemic, our ministers past and present. There was a general rout. The very principles of free trade and direct taxation were for a moment unpopular in the House of Commons, where members were actually Ringing away their old liberal cockade and searching about for a new one. Mr. Comm+ rallied the liberals of the house back to courage and to duty, by one of the ablest and most forcible speeches that he has yet uttered. Far from abandoning an iota of the principles of either direct taxation or free trade, he pointed out the necessity of persevering in and extending the former, in order to the development of the latter. The entire basis of our social and financial system has hitherto been to produce wealth and raise revenue from the sweat and the expenditure of the labouring and industrious class. It is no longer prudent in an economical, or possible in a political, sense to do this. We surpass all other countries in wealth, comfort, and luxuries. We must secure to our labouring classes at least an equal share of comfort with the same classes in less wealthy nations. Our manufacturing prosperity de pends upon their obtaining those necessaries, and comforts which are necessaries, at a cheap rate. Aud on our manufacturing prosperity depends the value of capital and of land. The interests of all and every class therefore compel to lighten the burdens on the poor and the industrious, and to throw those bur dens on the rich. And it is for the interest of the rich, that this should be done ; for without this their very riches would decline and disappear. Direct taxation, therefore, to a certain extent, is a necessity, and being so, an effort should not be made to throw it aside, but to render it acceptable, equable, and fami liar. Such was the doctrine propounded by Mr. Cowan, and energetically insisted on by Mr. Mowarr. The statement made by Mr. CoLDEN of the proportion in the pound paid by the poor man in every article of consumption, being six, ten, and even sixteen shillings in the twenty, whilst members of parliament were higgling for the differ ence between seven pence and a shilling, told power fully on the house, and will tell even more so on the country. The member for Westbury received a severe casti gation. The patting of all parties on the back, and giving each a slap on the face, is a kind of parlia mentary tactics obnoxious enough even in the midst of a successful career, but impertinent at the com mencement of one. For Mr. WlLsorr, fresh from the triumph of his maiden speech, to turn round on the veterans of free trade, and accuse them of strangling that direct taxation to which they gave birth, was a stab as false as it was treacherous. Mr. COBDEN par ried it with rather a strong arm. If Mr. COBDEN'S speech was one of his beat speci mens of eloquence, that of Lord Joust ItussEm. deserves equal praise. We have seldom seen the prime minister more happy. The witty retorts and suppositions with which he be4an, put the house in good humour, and no one could have gone farther to redeem, as an orator, the weaknesses and the faults committed as a politician. The Premier's speech was not a refutation of Mr. COBDEN'S ; on the contrary, it was an admission of its assertions, and an assent to its principles. He ad mitted the inequality of the income tax, asserted that he had tried and laboured to devise some mode of remedying tLat iuequality ; and, in fact, after what Lord JOLIN RUSSELL admitted, it can require bat the continuance of the expression of public opinion to compel a more equitable settlement. Lord Jona RUSSELL and Mr. COBDEN drew dif ferent morals from recent events in France. Mr. COBDEN warned ministers to take example by GIUIZOT, and not to depend too blindly on par liamentary majorities, too often upon elections founded on fiction. The minister, on the contrary, we are sorry to see, took rather a Pittite view, spoke of darkness and incertitude, the necessity of not disarming, anc, with faltering voice, declared that if England were to be made to descend to the rank of a second-rate power, he would not be the in strument. Lord J. Itt:ssELL's is too noble a mind not to have been since! ein its emotion. But we must own that we had rather not have witoessed in 1548 this recurrence to the sentimentality of 131 AKE. Mr. CHARLES COCHRANE is determined that his name shall be indissolubly associated with window breaking. A petition to the House of Commons, which purports to have been passed at a meeting in the London Tavern, but to which this gentleman's name alone is appended, represents that " the crime of window breaking has now increased to an alarm ing extent, to the serious detriment of public busi ness, and entailing heavy losses on the householders and shopkeepers." With the Trafalgar. square etneute fresh in our recollection, we antimpattd from this peroration that Mr. CHARLES COCHR NE, with more than Homan magnanimity, was about to inv }ac au , exemvlar; I;unishment upon his own head, in order :cr raiiLt be &Taal THE EXPRESS, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 14, 1848. amennting to 12,00 W per annum, but though on oath Mr. Vie Men had sworn that toe three years they had not realised any profit the genie were seised and sold for the duty, and be had nevi, been enabled to obtain from the parties who lead made the seizure any acoouut of the sum the sale had real ised. If each bad been the treatment whieh a member of that house had experienced, what must be that shown to wards men in humbler circumstances ? (Loud cries of "Divide.") Not a single member of the government had assigned any reason why the tax ehoutii be continued longer than for one year; and he contended that the govern ment, observing the course tat events, ought to take the expenditure of the country into their consideration. The eateries of all t he officers of state ought to be reduced, and ke invited the noble lord at the head of the government to take as an example a neighbouring nation—one of the diet countries in Europe—which was about to mend an am- Wieder here with a stipend of 4001. per annum. (Renewed cries ..f " Divide," and oonsicerablit interruption.) He (Mr. Weltley) had no doubt that he was interrupted by some ei the jevemie branches of the autocracy, who were only just out of their leading acidities, and yet by some strange means had obtained seats, and heti the power of making asinine noises in that house. (Laughter, and cries of " Ohl") He would nut trespass further, as he should have many future upp r unities of spe..kino some truths against a tax winch mac most um quad and unjust in its opera tion, mid welch the people were resolved should not be sustained. Mr. MUNTZ said he had listened with great attention to the spe eh of the uoble l e ad (Lord J. Russell) in the hopes that he would give him (Mr. Mules) some excuse for voting with the government ou the present ocean°. ; but he was bound to say that the uoble lord bed not furbished him with the slightest reason that it was absolutely messsary that it should be imposes( Bit the te rm of three years. The noble lord had sate, if it was nut irratLed, he end the Government would go out. As far as he (Mr. Aunts) bas concerned, they might go out (a laugh), Sr. with ail respect for the noble lord end the right hon. baronet the member fur Tam worth, he thought there were outer me* uc‘ittes them who eould conduct the atfaini of this country. It would he a lament dale thing to think otherwise. On this occasion, the recommendation which ought to be regard,' was that of the people and the mercantile community, and with them he concurred that *taloa its vexati sus and inquisitorial character was removed, the impost would be as much °bleated to as ever. It was said that toe majority of the government would to-night be swelled by the votes of Irish member'. If melt was the cue, he (Mr. Munta) should do ail in his power to fasten the.tax up al them. (Llear,hear.) Ilewould not say more, wept that he should give his vote i s support of the motion of the lion. member tor Montrose. (Hear, hear.) Col. Stiff IiORP, amidst loud cries of divide," ez pressed his deterintnetion to support the motion of the hon member for Montrose (Mr. Hume), and via a future occasion in favour of the proposition intended to be made, that Ire land should take her share in the burden ot the income tax. Mr. O. THU3dPSON addressed the house amidst the loudest manilas - Eton- of impatience and true for a division. The hon. member, on behalf of his oinnitteents, protested against the cuuttomauce of the inc. me tax, and still more against its coetinuaeoe in its present unjust and unequal foram It would increase the discontent and &satisfaction which already existed out of doors. He should vote with the hon. member for Montrine, and he trusted that the division would show that a large b ely of the members of that house sympathised with the views and wishes of the people. (Loud cries of " Divide.") Mr. C. PEARSON anew amidst loud cries of " divide." He represented a constituency of 4.800 persons, and if the house . uuld listen to him quietly 1 .r tour milieu a and eight. Mutes, Le undertook to finish by that iime. (hear, hear.) The subject was nearly exhausted. They had wan dered from Dan to Beersheba, and had exhausted all the topics. (Laughter.) lie had presented a petition against the income tat 'Lined by a more numerous and respectable assenth.age than had ever yet been collected at the Horns tavern. (Laughter.) The pa; expressed their opinion that toe income tax was unnecessary, unjust, op. preesive, and in;quituus, and on all t ion grenade they had requested him to oppose it. He should do so in every stage of its progress. He would only support the motion of the bun. member ear Montego( , broths*, he considered that the infliction of the tax for one year was' better than three. He would take no part in any factious opposition to the government, but still he should feel it to be his duty to persist on all occasions to abiert his opinions on the tee a ven should it be necessary to divide the house. The committee then divided, whet. the aumbeni were— For the original motion 363 For the amendment The house then resumed. ROMAN CATHOLIC TRUSTS BILL. Mr. ANSTEY postponed the seemed readieg of this bill from Wednesday next till the first Wednesday after the Easter recess. The house adjourned at a quarter before one o'clock. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

Mr. CoCURANE, however, confines his solicitude to another class of provokers to window-breaking. Pos sibly he wishes to establish a monopoly of that amusement among his own especial followers, and to discourage all other practitioners of the art. The window-breaking against which Mr. COCHRANE'S ire is directed is that which Mr. DANIEL WHITTLE HARVEY attributes to "the exasperated instinct of insulted poverty," and Mr. COCHRANE to " preference of a felon's gaol over u union workhouse." Both sages concur in attributing these eccentric tastes to the misconduct of the City of London Union ; and, accordingly, the aid of the legislature is invoked to amend or suppress, not Mr. CHARLES COCHRANE, but the functionaries of that union. The reply of these gentlemen to Mr. COCHRANE'S attacks will pro bably be, that " those who live in glass-houses ought not to throw stones." Whatever may in other respects be the value of this petition, it has been quite a godsend to Alder man SIDNEY. The ambitious alderman, ever since he got into parliament, has been hunting about for a subject of legislation commensurate to his capacity. He has found in Mr. Cocintaxe's petition the object of his quest. The petition avers that the " Mansion house windows were broken over and over again ;" nay, that " they were obliged to be protected with wires ; " and that " Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smith have lost seventy pounds from broken plate glass." This is the extent of the articulate damage in the pe tition. The remedy suggested is simple and easy. It is only an entire alteration of the poor law for the whole of England. Alderman SIDNEY is to advocate this remedy on the 23rd instant. BURKE, in one of his speeches, described a country M.P., upon whom he stumbled in one of the rooms attached to the House of Commons, immersed among statutes and law treatises, drawing a bill to make stealing of turnips from a field felony without benefit of clergy. A believer in the metempsychosis might imagine that the soul of this egregious legis lator, somewhat humanised by the spirit of our age, had migrated into Alderman SIDNEY. Hitherto Alderman SIDNEY'S colleague in the representation of Stafford has afforded the public 'tore amusement than himself. But even the monster motion in which Mr. URQUHART'S deputy has, at his instigation, embodied the Iliad of wrongs which kindled against Lord PALMERSTON the undying ire of that JCNo of diplomacy, must "pale its ineffectual fire" beside Alderman SIDNEY'S proposal to change the whole poor law of England, as a means of preventing the breaking of windows in the vicinity of the Mansion-house. Some constituencies might be named which have returned a member quite as eccen tric as Messrs. URQUHART and SIDNEY, but to have returned two such is the exclusive glory of Stafford. of the THE REPUBLIC OF FRANCE PARIS, MONDAY. 11 The social crisis produced by the recent political catastrophe, is assuming serious dimensions. Yes- , terday the saving banks were besieged by thousands of thrifty operatives and domestics, who, in the full- , nese of confidence, deposited there their little all, the accumulation of their hard-earned savings. It was at once a melancholy and curious spectacle to witness the variety of the ex pressions of their disappointment at receiving. instead of the specie they applied for, Treasury notes and government debentures. Some among them who came and addressed us for counsel were English servants and operatives. They had been dismissed, they said, from their situations and lost their work because they were English! that their masters and employers dared not keep them ! that in this situation they wanted to return home with their families, but that these pieces of paper which were given them in return tor the live-franc pieces which they deposited would not be taken in payment of the expenses of their journey, still less could they turn them to account at home. I ex plained that they could sell these, and that they must apply to an agens de change to accomplish this opera tion. That first seemed to console them, but on con ferring amongst each other, they found out that for every hundred francs thus sold, they would obtain a much less sum, besides having to pay some thing for the operation. " Why," asked one of them, a woman having two children with her, " Why did'r.t the savings' bank people sell these papers themselves, and then pay us our five franc pieces." I explained that by such a sale the bank would necessarily lose so much per cent. on the nominal value of the paper. This called forth an inference, express's! is no very courteous terms, as to the honesty of a government which could thus deal with the property of poor people. The general discharge of English servants and operatives is not the only effect of the , crisis here. Families in general are suddenly making large reductions in their establishments. Many within the limited circle of my more immediate observation are discharging three-fourths of their ser vants, and selling off all their horses and carriages. Others make a less sweeping reduction, but almost all act on the principle of reduction. Innumerable foreign re.ideats have left their hotels, and ordered their furniture to be sold by auction. I looked into a sale in the Champs Elysees on Saturday, and found things selling to the brokers for less than half their late value. Manufacturing and industrial establishments are many of them working half time, and some are even about to close altogether for two or three months. The intolerance of some of the manifestos of go vernment lately put forth, especially those of M. Ledru Rollin, Minister of the Interior, and M. Carnot, Minister of Public Instruction, has given great alarm to the timid, and excited the most lively reclamations among all friends of rational liberty. One step more in this course would arrive at proscription, and result ultimately in a r;yinte of terror. These ministers, provisional and self-appointed, already proscribe all opinions on governmental policy which differ from their own. They declare all persons ho are not partisans of a republic, and of such a re public as they approve not blind and hostile as M. Guizot did to his opponents, but traitors to their country. A little further in this direction and we shall have a revival of the regime of Denton and itobnpierre. M. de Lamartine continues to receive daily from the various diplomatic agents, the same provisional adhe sion of foreign governments as have been already announced. 'the ministers of Spain and the Hanse Towns have signified their adhesion in the same terms. Sardinia will entertain provisionally semi official relations with M. de Lamartine. During the tumults of the revolution, the Con , ciergerie was the scene of some irregularities, by which MM. Beauvallon and d'Ecquevilley, and M. l'este, were allowed to go at large. The following statements respecting them have been published: A report having been spread that MM. Beauvallon, d'Ecqueviiley, and some other persons under condemnation for offences not of a political nature had made their escape from the prison of the Conciergerie, the Minister of Justice, to whom the fact was not at first made known, has called upon the Procureur-General, Id. Portalis, to send him in a report. It has been said at the Palais de Justice that an in quiry into this matter has been commenced, and that a warrant has been issued against the person who sik;ned the order for their liberation. M. Landrin, the commissiary of the government at the Tribunal of the Seine, being informed on Saturday, by a letter from the Procureur General, of the escape of M. Teste, iminediatAy caused an investigation to be instituted into the matter, and discovered that the prisoner had left the Concieruerie in consequence of a usurp etion of functions assumed by a person who had temporarily occupied an important post in the department of the Interior. In consequence of the measures taken, M. Teste wa, in an hour afterwards again lodged in the prison of Con ciergerie. M Allard, the chief of the police de sfirete, found M. Tests at his own house, occupied in making arrangements to enter the maison de semi of Dr. Purls, at Chaillut, 'o which he had frequently petitioned to be removed. M. 'Late observed to the officer above-men tioned that he had not quitted Paris, in order to he al ways at the orders of the law authorities. He declared that, having be. n able to quit the Conciergerie at the same time as Beauvallou and d'Eequevilley, he had refused to do so, and had not consented to leave the prison until the doors were opened for him, in virtue of a signed order. 'Film en plartatious being given, M. Tests accompanied the officer, and was Igain placed in the apartment which he had pre viously occupi.d. In my private letter of Saturday I mentioned that Bandon's bank would stop payment to-day. I have just learned th d it has done so. Innumerable election societies and clubs are forming in all quarters of Paris. The walls are everywhere covered with their manifestos, notices, and proclama tions. The conscription has been opened for the national bank of discount in Paris, one-third of the nominal capital of is to Ix suppliad bi the shareholders. The result as yet has proved the reverse of satisfactory. Something like extortion seems to be contemplated by the organs of the go vernment to compel the bankers and merchants to come forward more liberally on this occasion. Letters from Turin announce that the Sardinian ministry have resigned. The King has called to his council Count Caesar Balbo and the Marquis Lorenze Pareto, and has commissioned them to form a new cabinet Advices from Switzerland state that a loan of 3,200,000 Swiss francs is to be negotiated at the fol lowing epochs:-500,000f. on April 1,700,000 f. on May 1, 1,000,0001. on June 1, 1,000,0001. on July 1. The loan guaranteed b 3 the confederacy is to be re imbuned by 1-10ths yearly, from the 31st December, I R 49. By a letter from Alexandria, dated on the 29th Feb., we learn that Lord Hardinge had arrived there on the previous night, and was about to embark in the " Sidon" for Trieste. GERMANY. PROGRESS OF REFORM. We continue to give a summary of the news from the different states of Germany up to the latest dates. A letter from Vienna of the ith in the Preussische Allgemeine Zeitring, thus hopefully describes the prospects of Austria The question is generally asked here, what will be the result of the French revolution in Italy, and especially in Austrian Italy ? Will there be war, or will reforms be made suitable to the time and to the majority of the people? Amongst us there is no sympathy for republican forms, and even in Italy the political excitement against the Austrian g overnment Is more likely to be kept calm by the intelligence of the French revolution than by the force of bayonets. According to thi latest accounts the people, or rather their representa tives, have determined to send a deputation to the Emperor demanding reform. An excellent mediator between governors and governed will be found in Count Montecuculi. As we have already stated, the states of Lower Austria are convened for the 15th of March, and their assembling has never at any time been looked forward to with more expectation than now. t• Count Breuner is named, provisionally, President or Marshal of the Chamb,r for this year, in the room of Count Montrcuculi. "The money holders of the country,especially those having values in the funds, are alarmed, and have by selling out depressed the funds beyond every expecta tion. Confidence will, however, soon return. " In the sitting of the Au,trian Trade Union at Vienna on the evening of the 6th, an address to the Emperor was passed unanimously, in which the assurance is given of the greatest devotion to the im perial family." There seems as yet to have been no step taken in view of satisfying the demands of the Hungarian diet, but rumours prevailed in Vienna that great changes in high quarters, and the prospect of a con stitution, were lilt , Iv. Such news is more desirable than likely to be fulfilled. The Lesp:ig Zeitung declares, on the faith of a letter from Vienna of the Bth, that Prince Metternich had resigned, but this is not confirmed by news through more direct channels, and mast be taken as an idle rumour. With the view of tranquillising the minds of the public as to the continuance of cash payments by the National Bank of Vienna, the official gazette has the following : On the occasion of the poli tical events it was reported that the National Bank would not immediately pay the notes in circu lation in cash, according to their nominal value. It is easy to prove the incorrectness of this statement, as, according to the 75th section of the statutes of the bank, the branch banks of the National Bank of Austria will immediately pay in specie all bank notes which may be presented for payment, as it has done up to the present time. The direction of the bank thinks the best manner of tranquillising the public mind is to publish the situation of the National Bank on Feb. 29, 1849 : R. ie. Assets.-51onnale de convention Bills discounted on hard due from sto 95 days Bills enraged to be paid in 90days 12,002,500 0 Public debts on mortgages Loan guaranteed for klungary 1,081,909 45 246.425,431 111 DebiMin.—Bill. in erreulation Paym , nt of accounts current Rank mock for Sti,62l abates. at the primitive We of GOO par share 240,423,431 1 II The Suabian Mercury, under the date of Vienna the sth inst., says :" The armament continues; all the soldiers on leave of absence have been ordered to join their regiments, and fresh horses are being purchased for the cavalry. Our government seems to envisage the affairs of Paris with great calmness. Russia, it is said, is more than ever determined upon making a great display of military force, in consequence of the late events. She will commence by sending a con siderable corps d'arinee to the frontiers of Poland and Galicia, which would, in case of need, act as a re serve body to the Austrian army. For game time back it has been in contemplation to convert the silver roubles into Austrian coin. It is said that forty-five millions are to be lent by Russia, and are to be guaranteed by the fortune of the imperial family. It is affirmed that the Este family has offered thirty millions of florins ; so that it will now be unnecessary to create new taxes. Several banking houses inter ested in the public loans have likewise offered to ad vance money in specie, but their offers have not been accepted. The panic relating to the savings bank is dispelled." An important piece of intelligence has been re ceived from Wiesbaden. The Grand Duke has put himself at the head of the movement (spits° dor Bewegung), and has urged that steps be taken for forming a "German parliament." The letter called forth expressions of the most lively satisfaction amongst the assembled members. By-the-bye, the Augsburg Uucette states that the King of Bavaria has also placed himself at the head of the German movement The Prussian government has officially contra dicted the assertion of the ff;rsen-Nachriclifen that tween the rioters and the military. Many persons were wounded. A proclamation was issued, threaten ing the people with military violence if they did not disperse when summoned to do so. According to the latest intelligence from Berlin, tranquillity was re stored at Breelaw on the Bth. . . . The reforms in Saxony have been granted in time. A letter from Leipsig, of the 10th, contains a pro clamation made by the King of Saxony, in which it is stated that the chambers will be extraordinarily convoked on the 20th of May. This proclamation was published in Dresden on the 9th. Numbers of addresses from various towns and corporate bodies, demanding reforms, and which had been determined on previous to the intentions of the Ring being made known, appear in the Leipsig papers, and show to what extent the public feeling had been aroused, and the danger there would have been in delaying to satisfy the wishes of the people. Another proclama tion, dated Dresden, the 9th, decrees the abolition of the censorship until the 15th of May, by which time the chambers will not pass the decree into law. The Suabian Mercury, under the date of Stuttgard, March 8, says : The ministers will not present them selves before the chambers. There is some talk of the formation of a new cabinet. The following are the names: Justice, M. Pfizer; Foreign Affairs, Count Degenfeld ; Interior, Durernois; War, Bangald ; Finance, Goppelt. It is said the councillor of the regency, Seger, is named governor of the town. From Hesse Cassel, under date March 7, we learn that by an ordonnance of that day's date the Elector abolished the censorship of the press on discussions relating to the domestic affairs of the country, and has revoked the restrictions respecting the private worship of catholic dissenters. Hie royal highness also announces that he intends, moreover, to propose to the state several laws. Amongst others, one tending to modify the condition of ca tholic dissenters and other religious bodies ; a second to throw open the courts to the public, to take oral evidence, and to establish trial by jury ; and a third respecting the assembling of the states for the nomination of the members of the supreme court of appeal. These concessions not having appeared sufficient to the committee appointed by the people, they have sent a new deputation to Cassel to demand the eight points following:-1. To name a ministry, in place of that last appointed, which possesses the confidence of the people. 2. To dissolve the assembly of the states which is about to be convoked, and to proceed immediately to the elec tion of a new chamber. 3. To grant full and entire liberty of the press, in conformity with the promise contained in article 95 of the act of the constitution. 1. Full amnesty for all the political offenders of 1830. 5. Entire religions liberty. 6. Application to the Germanic Diet for the formation of a house of repre sentatives of the whole German people. Revocation of all the decrees restricting the enjoyment of consti tutional rights, especially the right of petition and that of holding public meetings. 7. A formal pro mise that the projects of law announced by the pro clamation of tho 7th inst., and those rendered neces sary by the wishes of the people, shall be presented at the next meeting of the states. 8. If, at the end of three days, the Elector does not return an answer, the commission will regard his silence as a refusal. The demand for free constitutions which we subjoin, and which has been stuck up in several towns in the Rhenish provinces, attests the movement of ideas which now animates the population of the Rhenish provinces: APPEAL TO TIRE GOLIILAN PROPLE.—The German people declare that the German alliance has trodden under foot the rights of Germany ; has respected neither the rights of man nor the right* of property; has impeded and stopped the progress of intellect, so that Germany has become an object of contempt for other nations. The people do not recognise for their representatives the diplomatists instituted by the princes of the confederacy. The people consider the confe deracy as morally dead, and its decrees and ordinances as null and void. The people demand immediately, for the I conduct of their affairs, a natisnal representation, chosen by the nation.without distincti-n of rank, fortune, or religion. The people declare that if the princes do not approve of this demand, without restriction, they shall be expelled from their thrones, and the German provinces shall be constituted into a federative republic, and shall form with their brethren of France an offensive and defensive alliance. " Long live the Republic !" The union of all citisens—the tranquillity and order which so rapidly followed the victory of the 24th of February—are certainly not the least powerful auxiliaries to democratic ideas, which have till now been represented as a cause of anarchy. The love of liberty cannot but increase in every nation, in presence of the grand and no'ile spectacle which enfranchised France now offers to the world. The King of Hanover has resolved to convoke the states on the 28th inst., and has expressed his readiness to enforce the resolutions which may be adopted by a majority of the Germanic confederation relative to the liberty of the press. On the other hand, he has declared that any participation on the part of the de puties of local states in the deliberations and reso lutions of the Germanic Diet is incompatible with a monarchical government. In answer to an address of the people praying far reform, the Kiag communi. cated the following :—ln replying to the demands of he municipal council and of the delegates of the city of Hanover his Majesty submits the following—let. The decree promulgated on the 3rd inst., relative to the press, by the Germanic Diet, provides, that " each state composing the Germanic confederation has the power of abolishing the censorship andof granting the liberty of the press." However, that can only take plate under the guarantees which protect as much as possible the federal states against the abuse of the liberty of the press. Thus before abolishing the cen t sorship it is necessary to obey the guarantee thus given, and to proceed to preparatory measures. His Majesty will not refuse his assent to whatever resolu tions may be arrived at on the subject by the majority of his august shies of the confederation. 2. That the admission of members of the local Diets to the de liberations of the Germanic Diet and partici pation in their resolves, to which sovereigns them selves are obliged to submit, in virtue of the act of federation, is incompatible with monarchical govern. ment, as every one will agree on calm reflection. 3. Respecting the prompt convocation of the states, his Majesty has anticipated the wishes of the people. On the night of the Bth inst. the city of Bremen was brildautly illuminated, in celebration of the ex tensive popular concessions made by the senate of that free city. A peaceful revolution has been accomplished in the little principality of Hohenzollern Sigmaringhen. All the demands of the people fur fundamental reforms were complied with, and the Bavarian and Prussian officers sent oat of the country. which urged the government to expel the individuals alluded to. Such an expulsion, however, could be justified, if necessary. The police agents (he added), and not the ministry, were responsible for the acts which accompanied the arr. et and expulsion of Dr. and Madame Marx, and the government could era cies no authority over those agents. So that all foreigners here are at the mercy of a set of men over whom the Belgian executive has neither control nor authority ! The Minister of the Interior said he regretted that an isola•ed case had been twilled to the rank of a political or national grievance. If there were foreigners living in Belgium who were dissatisfied with its institutions, why, the gates were open for them, and they might go elsewhere in search of the triumph of their theories. So much for the ministry. It must be stated, however, that an official investiga tion into all the filets connected with this unpleasant and by no means unimportant affair has been ordered by the tows council. The Belgians are beginning to be afraid of their own liberties when they see such arbitrary conduct towards two foreigners. Several English familia have left Belgium. The great difficulties of the Belgian government just now are not of a political nature, but refer to the question of the organisation of work, or rather of industry in general. It appears that the revenue of the province of East Flanders will be pledged as security for the repayment of the sums advanced, without interest, by government. The overflowing of the Scone has caused conside rable damage in the neighbourhood of this city. A very influential meeting of the leading merchants and tradesmen of Brussels was held this afternoon is the Exchange, in order to draw up a series of sug gestions to the government respecting the means of remedying the financial difficulties of the moment. The proceedings were too important to admit of a hasty analysis. To-ir.orrow I shall send a due account of the business transacted. DENMARK.—A letter from Copenhagen says, that it is the intention of the King of Denmark to reunite himself in marriage with his second wife, horn whom he was separated some time since. The Queen is not indis posed to this reunion : she has been for some days at Berlin, with her relative the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg Stre lita. The Farirelandet publishes a declaration of the Danes on the Eider (which forms the boundary between Denmark and Sleewig Holstein). This declaration is signed by 43 of the nobility and chief people, among whom are several members of the states. It may he con , idered both the answer and the counterpart of the resolutions of Kiel, proposed by the deputies of Sleswig Holstein. The ultra-Danes are diEsatisfied that an equal number of deputies should be returned by Deamark and the German duchies. It likewise disapproves of the decision that no changes shall be made in the existing connexion of the duchies; and, finally, protests against the constitutional union of the Germanic federal states of Hol stein with Sieswig and Denmark, as calculated to promote the excess of German federal polity, and to Endanger the Danish nationality of Sleswig. GALICIA.—The greater part of the town of Bala chon, in Styria, has been consumed by fire. Above 160 dwelling-houses, with all the barns and outhouses belonging to them, were consumed. The damage is incalculable. ha -1 mense quantities of corn, the property of the wealthy Jewish families living in the Circus, were totally destroyed. Only one life was lost. THE BRAZILS.—From Rio we learn that the ----- accounts from England of December had given some anima ness to capitalists, from their unfevourable character in re gard to the staple productions of that country. Lord Hew den had intimated to the English merchants, through her Majeay's coni.ul, that his endeavours to oonclude a treaty of commerce with the Brazilian government had failed. Should nothing be arranged in this matter throughthe two cabinets, impors of British produce wi➢l be amenable to one-third more duties than articles of the growth and manufacture of , arch nations whose laws are more favourable to Brazilian interests.

CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION ON KENNING TON COMMON. In consequence of the adjournment of the Trafalgar square meeting of last Monday to Kennington-common, the morning of yesterday—the day appointed for the re-assem bling—was marked by considerable manifestations of excite ment, both in the neighbourhood and elsewhere. We noticed in our publication of yesterday the preparations made by the police authorities to prevent a similar scene of con fusion to that of last week, and it now only remains to say that those arrangements were carried out with the utmost vigour. About four thousand police officers, about one Lundred of whom belonged to the horse patrol, being mounted and armed with sabres, were in the imme diate neighbourhood of the scene of action, in readi ness to be called out at a moment's notice. Large bodies of the force were quartered at the livery stables near Kennington-cross, at an academy in Bowlinftgreen street, and at various other places where accommodation could be obtained. At an early hour the anticipations formed of a riot appeared likely to oe justified. A large number of persons, proceeding from various directions—the greater number from the opposite side of the water, might be seen making their way towards the scene of action, now in little groups discussing grievances, and apparently having met with " a purpose" m view; while the object of others teemed . . the former had announced its intention to withdraw io 'be comprised' in throwing ridicule upon the its capital from the Prussian Bank.
