(PROM OUR OWN COREINPONDENT.) TRM FRENCH REVOLUTION.—The unexpected turn which affairs have taken in the French capital, is the only thing thought of or talked of in Cowes as every where else ; the people get together in groups, and enquire the news of all they meet or pass—all are eager to learn the news—all enquire " what is there fresh this morning?" The ,Sun, as usual, has beaten all the other newspapers, and enlightened the people hours before any other publication, and is the great authority of the day. TH. BAROMETER.—GaIes and rain continue. On Saturday morning the mercury sunk to 28.03 ; as for the wheel barometers, they seem bewitched, and have gone completely round. One in the Hants Advertiser office here stands at set fair. Whether the little Tory thing is frightened by the Republican proceedings in France, or what, we know not ; but the rain came down in one sheet, and the wind blew greet guns—enough to frighten the old lady, truly. N, OTTING H&M.—Serious alarm has arisen here amongst the drtiggh,ts and stationers, by the distribu tion of about hall a sc,re notices from Somerset house, of information laid before the Commissioners of Staraps and Taxes, a month ago, severally grounded en the sale of the following articles, unstampecl: Cough Mixture, Antibili ous Pi lls, Gregory's Powder, Camomile Pills, Black Currant Syrup, Essence of Ginger, and Castor Oil (1) Pills. By this act of a secret informer, the truth has been elicited that no druggist m. can plead exemption fro elae liabilities o f the stan Duties ~ ct—there being, a ccor di ng to the answer w to a recent appeal to the solicitor of the Board of Stamps, the three following conditions of liability:—The name of name of the article, an d the state ment of its use; so that no chance of escape is afforded to that important bodyof semi - professional me n to directed, whose very neglect of properly labelling drugs the coroners' censures have been so they choose to stamp everything,but oft en to ed p t a exceptseries of medical labels, and utterly a,lbandon tthieieniramoewsnof names their sometimes dangerous compounds, and_ nth)), evening a in connexion tharewith.—On 11 very friendly meeting of he Maypole inn, when gists of Nottingham took place at t twenty-eoight of the drug (Mr. fled" Air.

COUNT/. or ADERIASN.—.A. speo,ial meeting of the landholders, commissioners of supply, and justices of peace, was ca ll e d , to be held here on ' Monday, for the purpose of cons id ering the present state of the law affecting the currency of the kingdom.

North of Scotland e. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVEN ING, FEBRUARY 28, 1846. coolness and patriotism. May we be all united in one sentiment—that of saving our country from the most dreadful of visitations—a civil war.—(Applause.) Nations, I am aware, do not die, hut they become weak from intestine dissensions, and France never had more need than now of all her force—of the aid of all her children. Our duty is clearly traced out—it calls on us to unite ourselves to what is most gene rous in the heart of the nation. The crown of July rests on the head of a child and a woman.—(Loud marks of assent from the greatest part of the Cham ber, great disapprobation from the public tribunes.) —lt is a solemn appeal. The Duchess of Orleans here rose and pronounced some words which we could not catch. The persons near her appeared to recommend her to sit down. M. 0. Barrot—lt is in the name of the political liberty existing in our country, of the necessities of order which have occurred to every one's mind, of the union and accord which ought to reign amongst all good citizens, that I call on all my colleagues to support this double representation of July.—(Re newed assent and disapprobation, as before.) I would give my life a thousand times to ensure the triumph of the cause of liberty in my country — The Marquis de Larochejtiquelin—You do not know what you are doing ! M. 0. Barrot—Can it be that any one can imagine that what was decided by the Revolution of July can be again called in question ?—(Great agitation.) Gentlemen, the work, I allow, is difficult ; but there are such elements of generosity, greatness, and good sense in this country, that it suffices to appeal to them to induce the whole population to rally round the stan dard I display.—(Murmurs in the tribunes.) Our duty is simple—it is traced out by the laws and by honour. If we do not fulfil it with firmness, I cannot say what the consequences will be, but be certain of this, that whoever should dare to incur the responsibility of a civil war, would be in the highest degree culpable towards his country.—(Hear, hear.) For my part, what I conceive to be most fitting for the situation is this—the regency of the Duchess of Orleans; a Ministry chosen from the most tried opinions ; and an appeal to the country, which will pronounce with full liberty, in an extent sanctioned by law. Such is my opinion, and I cannot consent to assume the respon sibility of any other situation.—(Agitation.) The Marquis de Larochejaquelin—Gentlemen, I feel the most profound respect for what there is painful in the position of certain persons. I am, perhaps, more than another called OR to defend here the people and liberty. But I must reply to M. 0. Barrot that I cannot have here the intention of up holding a particular opinion ; that Hon. Gentleman has not comprehended the sentiment which animates me. Gentlemen, here you are nothing— Loud cries from all sides of " Order, order." The President—M. de Larochejaquelin, you are sinning against the respect due to the Chamber; I call you to order_ The Marquis de Larochejaquelin—When I affirm that you are nothing, I do not mean to say that the Chamber is annulled. A person not belonging to the Chamber, M. Che vallier, editor of the Bibliothique Historique, here ascended the tribune.—(Great confusion.) M. Chevallier—l shall speak with the greatest moderation.—(You have no right to be there.) Be ware of proclaiming the Count de Paris without being authorised to do so; but if the Duchess cf Orleans and the young Count have sufficient courage to go along the Boulevards, in the midst of the people and the National Guards, I answer for their safety. If the people will not consent to confer on him the crown— Voices in the crowd—" Vive la Republique." M. Chevallier—What you have now to do is to give us a Government, and to give it at once ; you cannot leave a whole population without magistrates, without directing heads.—(The noise prevented the voice of the speaker from being heard.) At this moment a vast crowd broke into the Chamber. They were dressed in the most heteroge neous manner, some in blouses with dragoons' helmets on their heads ! others with cross-belts and infantry caps ! others again in ordinary clothes, but all with arms—swords, lances, spears, muskets, and tri coloured flags. These persons at once seized on such Deputies' seats as were unoccupied, several even ascended the tribune, and fixed themselves there. The President perceiving what had occurred, and in order to mark his disapprobation, as well perhaps as to signify that the sitting could not go on under such circumstances, put on his hat. This created a dreadful uproar, and numerous cries of " Off with your hat, President !" were heard from new comers. Several of them even directed their muskets at him. The scene was of almost unima ginable violence. M. Ledru-Rollin, from his place, overpowering the tumult with his voice —Gentlemen, in the name of the people, I call for silence ! A number of the Deputies, appearing to consider their position perilous, began to withdraw, and as they abandoned their places the crowd took possession of them. The tumult was tremendous, and many Deputies looked with anxiety towards the Duchess of Orleans and her children. She however sat calm amidst the uproar. M. ledru-Rollin after some time succeeded in making himself heard.—ln the name of the people, (said the Hon. Deputy) I protest against the kind of Government which has just been proposed to you. —(lmmense applause, cries of "Bravo !" bravo !" from the new corners, and their comrades in the public tribunes ; the shouts were deafening.) This is not the first time that I have thus protested ; already, in 1842, I demanded the constitution of 1791.—(Cheers.) That constitution declared that it should be necessary to make an appeal to the people when a Regency Bill was to be passed.—(The loudest applause) I protest, therefore, against the Govern ment that it is attempted to establish—l do so in the name of the citizens whom I see before me—who for the last two days have been fighting, and who will, if necessary, again combat this evening. (From every side cries of " Yes ! yes F' cheers with bran dishing of arms, and in some cases raising of muskets to the shoulder; indescribable tumult.) I demand in the name of the people that a provisional Govern ment be named.—(Great applause.) M. de Lamartine—Gentlemen, I shared in the sentiments of grief which just now agitated this assembly in beholding the most afflicting spectacle that human annals can present—that of a Princess coming forward with her innocent son, after having quitted her deserted Palace, to place herself under the protection of the nation. But if I shared in that testimony of respect for a great misfortune, I also share in the solicitude—in the admiration which that people, now fighting during two days against a perfidious Government for the purpose of re-esta blishing order and liberty, ought to inspire.--(Great applause from the tribunes.) Let us not deceive ourselves—let us not imagine that an acclamation in this Chamber can replace the co-operation of thirty five millions of men. Whatever Government be established in the country it must be cemented by solid definitive guarantees I How will you find the conditions necessary for such a Government in the midst of the floating elements which surround us ? By descending into the very depth of the country itself, boldly sounding the great mystery of the right of nations.—(Great applause in the tribunes.) In place of having recourse to these subterfuges, to these emotions, in order to maintain one of those fictions which have no stability, I propose to you to form a Government, not definitive, but provisional—a Go vernment charged, first of all, with the task of stanch ing the blood which flows, of putting a stop to civil war—(Cheers)—a Government which we appoint without putting aside anything of our resentments and of our indignation; and in the next place a Go vernment on which we shall impose the duty of con voking and consulting the people in its totality—all that possess in their title of man the right of a citi sen.—(Tremendous applause from the people in the tribunes.) At this moment, a violent and imperative knocking was heard at the door of an upper tribune, which was not entirely filled. On the door being opened, a number of men rushed in, well provided with arms, and-who appeared to have just come from a combat. Several of them forced their way to the front seats, and pointed their muskets at the Deputies below. Some of these weapons were also turned in the direction of the royal party. Immediately the persons near the Duchess of Orleans seemed to address her energetically, an d a moment after she rose, and, with her sons and the two Princes, quitted the Chamber by a door on the extreme left. _ _ M. Sauzet at the same moment withdrew from the President's chair, and nearly all the Deputies who had remained quitted their places. The noise and dis order at this moment were at the greatest height. Shortly after, silence being somewhat restored, M. Ledru-Rollin said—According as I read out the names you will say " yes" or " no," just as they please you, and, in order to act officially, I call on the reporters of the public press to note down the names and the manner in which they are received, thp.t France may know what has been done here.—(The Hon. Deputy then read out the names of MM. Du pont (de l'Eure), Arago, de Lamartine, Ledru-Rollin, Gamier- Pages, Marie, and Cremieux, all of which were received with acclamations.) Cries of "To the Hotel de Ville !" here arose, followed by a cry of "No Civil List," and another of "No King !" Some one having directed the atten tion of the crowd to the picture of Louis Philippe swearing obedience to the Charter, cries of " Tear it down ;" arose. A workman armed with a double barrelled fowling-piece, who was standing in the semi-circle, cried out, " Just wait until I have a shot at Louis Philippe !" and at the same moment both barrels wbre discharged.—(Great confusion ensued, in the midst of which two men jumped on the chairs behind the President's seat, and prepared to cut the picture to pieces with their sabres.) Another workman ran up the steps of the tribune, THE THIRD EDITIONS "THE SUN" CONTAIN, AS USUAL, THE LATEST PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE, AND ALL OTHER NEWS UP TO THE HOUR OF POST.

Every additional scrap of intelligence received from Pari3 confirms our impression, more and more, that the Revolution of 1448 is as glorious in the principles which it embodied, as it is unparalleled in its rapidity, its completeness, t.nd its moderation. France has imbibed wisdom from experience. Its people have risen because they have been compelled—they have triumphed because of their unanimity--they have evinced the most extraordinary self•command because their cause is the cause of justice and humanity. Since 1830—that famous epoch in which one man was the recipient of the generosities of an entire nation l—the liberties of Frenchmen have been cur tailed and stunted, in defiance of all the provisions of the Charter. Since 1830, the inhabitants of that great country have protested against the aggressions of their perfidious and insidious Sovereign. The struggle which commenced in 1834 has continued for nearly fourteen years without intermission, the royal absolutist maintaining his position by a policy the verb of which was " craft," and the multitude insisting upon the necessity of the due preservation of their rights in the midst of the horror excited by those comprehensive innovations which were never• theless received with a sublime obedience. For fourteen years, we say, that struggle continued with a deliberate ferocity, and a systematic falsity, on the part of the Government, and a suppressed but growing sentiment of wrath on the part of the com munity. One act of perfidy has not evoked the recent convulsion of affairs in Paris. The Revolution is merely the ultimate consequence of a thousand thousand provocations. Even the awful catalogue of official crimes condensed by the genius of ODILON I3auaoT within the compass of his epi gramatic impeachment is but a meagre indication of the offences which have each by each aroused the in dignation of a sensitive and most excitable populace. Corruption is but one of the many plague-spots upon the Cabinet of GUlAoT—but one of those hideous Poison-blots which affected France to the very extremities, filling her heart with rage and nerving her arms to a divine effort at emancipation. The arbitrary power installed during so many legislative and financial years in the Tuile ries evoked on its own head the vengeance of thirty millions. Its Nemesis was that popular will which it had outraged. It fraternized with Austria, it slighted Italian patriotism, it defrauded the Spaniards of their nationality, it strove to degrade that august spirit of civism which had existed for centuries among the mountains of Switzerland, it restrained the feelings of the Portuguese for the sake of a dynastic compact, it instigated the perpetration of such atro cities in Algeria as had scarcely ever been known since the days of TAMERLANE the Conquerer, it had partially trodden out the freedom of the press by the execrable enactments of September, it had covered France with infamy by the reflected infamy of its associates, it had at length adventured upon a course so flagrant in its opposition to that alone compatible with civil liberty, as to take measures for the preven tion of freedom of discussion by the demonstration of an armed force of 100,000 disciplined soldiers. Against that last and consummating act of violence the Parisians rose to a man ; they defied the austere intellect of GUIZOT, the un bridled Machiavellism of LOUIS PHILIPPE, the daunt less cruelty of BUG EAUD, the obstinacy of HEBERT, the determination of Duc LIATEL, the sycophancy of DELESSERT, and the loyal frigidity of JACQUE NIINOT —they defied all this ; they regarded with indifference a circle of enormous fortifications; they scorned the obstacles which bristled before them in the shape of swords, and bayonets, and cannon ; the Parisians, we say, defied all this—they con quered the friendship of the National Guard and afterwards of the troops of the line—they disbanded the guards of the municipalities--they captured the palaces, dethroned the Monarch, drove forth the members of the Royal Family as fugitives, and after achieving all this with a suddenness almost incredible, they installed a Provisional Government, which immediately afterwards proclaimed France to be a Republic. Instead of the triumphal march of Des potism, we have witnessed the victorious progress of Democracy. A week hack, and France was to all appearance tranquil under a constitutional sove- Ireignty. Scarcely seven days—and that sovereignty is demolished, and thirty millions of the human race are declared to be the citizens of a democratic re public. The very rapidity with which all this has been accomplished is a proof, that it had become an absolute necessity—that LOUIS PHILIPPE had ren dered himself irrecoverably detestable—that the Re volution of 184 H has been the ebullition of an epoch, the unanimous outburst of an entire people. Such being the case, it is the duty of Europe at once to recognise the existence of the French Re public. For that Republic is legitimately esta blished, and the names of the principal leaders are enough of themselves to ensure to the Provisional Government the respect of the Liberals of the world. Those eminent Ministers, it will not be forgotten, are— DUPONT (de l'Eure), President of the Council, LAMARTINE, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Lanett ItoLux, Minister of the Interior, BEDEAU, Minister of War, !Amman GOUDCHAUX, Minister of Finance, ARAGo, Minister of Marine, BETIIIIONT, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, bikini:, Minister of Public Works, CARROT, Minister of Public Instruction, C GAIt ATza R i kc lA G GE o s v , e; iyo Governor-General of Paris enera a lof . Algeria, Numberle ss i nstances have been given of the mo deration of this great people in the midst of their memorable and supreme excitement. While them selves fusilladed by the soldiery they have frequently respected life and property, and have even chastised their comrades when any act of brutality has been detected. While storming th e T u i leries, they appear to have a b stained from all destr uc ti on o f' the works of art and vertu with which its galleries and saloons are enriched, planting sentinels at the different doorways to prevent all robbery and unne cessary outrage. One example, however, is worth a hundred generalities. Here is one, and we commend its perusal to our readers, for it seems to us to be in. vested with a very sublime aspect:—" On taking the Tuileries," says the Democratie Pacifique, " the people found a magnificent image of Christ, in sculpture. The people stopped and saluted it. ' My friends,' cried a pupil of the Bede Polytechnipe, `this is the Master of us all P The people took the Christ, and bore it solemnly to the Church St. Roch. Citizens, of with your hats! Salute Christ P said the people; and everybody inclined in a religious sentiment. Noble people ! who respect all that is sacred 1 Noble people ! who bless the Being who proclaimed the law of uni versal fraternity !" This, we repeat it, is a sublime token of the legality of this glorious and most com plete Revolution. It is a token that the Republican sentiments of the French co-exist with the vital energies of Christianity. The Paris papers of Thursday give the following account of what will probably be the last sitting of the Chamber of Peers (as on Friday the Provisional Government published a decree interdicting the ex- Chamber of Peers from again holding any sittings), and of the sitting in the Chamber of Deputies, in which the Monarchy was rejected and a Provisional Government was established. CHAMBER OF PEERS. SITTING Or FEB. 24. The President took the chair at two o'clock. About sixty Members were present. The Secretaries were in their uniform of National Guards. The Marquis de Boissy complained that the regu lations had not been followed the preceding day when his proposition to interrogate the Ministry, relative to the state of Paris, was presented. _ A short discussion arose on this point, in the course of which Count de Tascher and M. Barthe declared, that everything had passed with perfect regularity; and that besides, the Noble Peer was so constantly in the habit of abusing the liberty of discussion, that he ought to be the last person to complain. The matter then dropped. The President then rose and said—Now, Gentle men, I only know from the Afoniteur, that the pre ceding Ministry no longer exists, and that a new Government is being formed. I have not yet re ceived any communication and consequently I have no statement to make to the Chamber. Yesterday the discussion commenced on the Bill relating to the mortgage system in the colonies, but no Minister being now present, that deliberation cannot con tinue. Baron C. Dupin—Besides, the Chamber is not in sufficient number to deliberate. Baron Maurice Duval—The Government knows that the Chambers are sitting. lam of opinion that we ought to remain in a state of perms fence, in order that if communications be addressed to us, it may not be necessary to seek us through Paris.—(Yes !) The Peers then left their seats, and collected round the President's chair, the sitting being suspended. About three o'clock, it was rumoured that the Duchess of Orleans and the Count de Paris were coming to the Chamber. Some minutes after the President rose and said, I have not received any communication, but I am in formed that the Regent and the young King are on their way here.—(Profound sensation.) I shall draw lots for a grand deputation to go and receive them. During the drawing lots in the usual way the public tribunes became filled with a considerable number of spectators, amongst whom were many National Guards. The arm-chairs usually occupied by the Secretaries were removed, and replaced by others of crimson velvet for the expected visitors. The President left his place, and seated himself below, in one of the benches usually occupied by Ministers. However, the expectation thus raised was not gra tified, and about four o'clock the President and the Peers withdrew. An usher then announced that the sitting was over. The spectators retired in consider able agitation. CRABBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTING OF FED. 24. The public sitting. was to hare taken place at three o'clock, a meeting in the bureaux being appointed to be holden previously, but the important events of the morning caused a change in the order of pro ceeding. The President took the chair at one o'clock. About 300 Deputies were present from the corn mencement of the sitting, but nothing was done for some time. M. C. Laffitte—Gentlemen, I address myself to all parties in this Chamber, particularly to the Members of the extremities, praying them to keep down all angry passions.—(llear, hear.) Looking at the cir cumstances in which we are now placed, I propose to the Chamber to declare itself in permanence.—(Loud cries of " Yes, yes.") M. Dutier—J demand to have the proposition postponed, and that the Chamber simply declares itself sitting, with the faculty of afterwards ad.)pting such measures as it may deem advisable.—(Yes, yes.) M. de Carnbaceres-:-1 propose that the Chamber shall remain in permanence until the end of the crisis. —(Yes, yes.) The President—There cannot be any other ques tion of permanence than this—the Chamber has opened its sitting, and will remain so as long as no motion be made to adjourn it.—(Hear, hear.) About half•past one it was rumoured about that the Duchess of Orleans and the two young Princes, her sons, were about to arrive. Shortly after a movement was apparent in the passage on the left of the Chamber, and the Duchess and her two sons en tered, followed by the Duke de Nemours and the Duke de Montpensier. The Count de Paris entered first of all, a person holding him by the hand. With difficulty he penetrated as far as the semicircle in front of the President's chair, so encumbered was it with Deputies and National Guards. His presence and that of the rest of the royal party created a great sensation. The Duchess seated herself in an arm chair with her sons at each side of her in the wide space just mentioned. Almost immediately after the passages to the various parts of the Chamber were filled with an immense body of the people and National Guards, both armed. Cries of " You cannot enter ! " " You have no right to enter !" were then heard ; but the next moment a number- of men belonging to the people forced their way into the Chamber, and placed themselves right under the tribune. The Duchess of Orleans then rose, and taking the young Princes by the hand, led them to the range of seats forming the pourtour behind the Deputies, and still exactly in front of the President. The Duke de Nemours and the Duke de ➢lontpensier placed them selves in the last line of seats, immediately behind the Princess and her son. The greatest agitation prevailed in every part of the Chamber ; and it was a moment after increased by the public tribunes being rushed into by another body of the people. M. Dupin then ascended the tribune, and amidst deep silence said—ln the present situation of the capital and the critical circumstances in which the country is placed, the Chamber was bound to as semble immediately. The King has just abdicated. —(Sensation.) lie hu disposed of the crown in favour of his grandson, the Count de Paris; and has constituted the Duchess of Orleans Regent.—(Ap plause from all the benches of the Centre, and trom some of the public tribunes, and with loud disappro bation on the Left.) A voice from one of the Tribunes—lt is too late ! An agitation, impossible to describe, here arose. A number of Deputies collected round the Duchess of Orleans and the rest of the royal group. National Guards without ceremony came and mingled with the Deputies who had done so. M. Marie ascended the tribune, but was obliged to remain there a length of time without being able to obtain a hearing. At last, silence being restored, he said—Gentlemen, in the situation in which Paris now is, it is both necessary and urgent for us to adopt some measure which may have some authority with the population. Since this morning the evil has made immense progress.—(Hear, hear.) What course will you take ? Just now, the Duchess of Orleans was announced as Regent ; but a law exists which gives the regency to the Duke de Nemours, and you cannot at the present moment pass a law to revoke it. What must be done is to nominate a Provisional Govern ment—(Loud cries from the Left of "Hear, hear) — not to give institutions, but to consult with the two Chambers on the necessity of satisfying the wishes cf the country. M. Cremieux—ln the interest of the public safety a great measure is necessary. It is important that every one should be of the same mind to proclaim a great principle, and to ensure to the victorious people serious guarantees. Let us not do as in 1880, since it has been found necessary to commence again, in 1848, what was then done.—(Applause.) We cannot at the present do more than establish a provisional Go vernment.—(Cries of " No, no.") I have the greatest respect for the Duchess of Orleans—(Cries of " Bravo, bravo l")—and I just now conducted the Royal Family to the carriage which bore them away. A Voice—Bon voyage !—(Murmurs.) M. Cretnieux—The population of Paris has shown the most profound respect for the King's misfortune, but we who have been sent here to enact the laws, cannot violate them. A law already voted disposes of the regency, and I cannot admit that it can be abro gated at this moment. Since we have come to the point of undergoing a revolution let us confide ourselves to the country. I propose a provisional Government of five members.—(Voices in the tribunes, "Yes, yes.") The Abb‘ de Genoude ascended the tribune, and was about to address the Chamber, when M. 0. Barrot entered. Numerous voices—O. Barrot to the tribune ! Let 0. Barrot speak ! The Abbe de Genoude—l have only a word to say (M. 0. I3arrot, who had ascended the tribune, signi fied his acquiescence, and remained standing with his back against the President's bureau, the Abbe said) —You cannot effect anything without the co-opera tion of the people. You trie I it in 1830, and you see what has come to pass. M. 0. Barrot—Rever have we had need of more ~..„... ‘.q 4 . !' dr . ' • 'I, ,v 'e ',''''' ‘ ‘ , 37 .-`' 4.

We have shown that the people will not allow itself to be ill governed ; let us now show that it knows how to conduct itself properly after its victory ; (Great applause.) The next instant, M. Dupont (de l'Eure) took possession of the chair. MM. de Lamartine and Ledru Rollin attempted successively to obtain a hearing, but unsuccessfully. Several of the National Guards, and some of the people also made similar attempts, but without effect. A cry then arose in one of the tri bunes of " Let Lamartine speak !" and at once all the others took it up. M. de Lamartine—A Provisional Government will he at once proclaimed.—(Enthusiastic cries of " Vire Lamartine 1") Other Voices—The names! the names 1 M. Cremieux, amidst great tumult, said—lt is essential that silence be restored, in order that one venerable colleague, M. Dupont (de l'Eure), may read to you the names which you wish to learn. As the tumult, which had lulled for a second whilst the Honourable Deputy was speaking, recom menced just as violently as ever, the names were written down on a sheet of paper, and that, being placed on the end of a musket, was so paraded about the Chamber. Ledru• Rollin, in the midst of the noise—A Provisional Government cannot be organized,in a light or careless manner. I shall read over the names aloud, and you will approve of them, or reject them, as you think fit. In the midst of shouts and cries, the Hon. Deputy read out the names, but nothing could be heard. Nearly all the Deputies had by this time departed, and the National Guards and the people had the Chamber to themselves. M. Ledru-Rollin—We are obliged to close the sitting in order to proceed to the seat of Govern. ment. From all sides—To the ll6tel de Ville ! Viva la Republique! This most extraordinary sitting was then brought to a conclusion at four o'clock. The people withdrew in the utmost tumult. The Provisional Government having been installed at the Hotel de Ville, sat to decide upon the course to be adopted in the present state of the capital. Individually the great majority of them were opposed to the establishment of an unmitigated democracy. The populace, however, filled the hall, and completely overpowered them by demonstration of their inflexible purpose of seeing a republic in its most democratic form resolved on. In vain it was attempted to ad journ the question till minds should become calm. Every proposition of the like nature was met by me nacing shouts directed even against the most popular of the members of the Government. M. DUPONT (de l'Eure), who made many attempts to defend the proposition of a republic in its less democra tic shape, was compelled to silence by the most deafening shouts of " Dupont a la fenetre," and was so exhausted by fatigue and excitement that he twice fainted. M. MARIE met with no better success. The anxieties he underwent had such an effect on his countenance that on leaving the meeting his own son could not recognise him. The populace willed that a pure democratic republic should be formed, and that every male above a certain age should be eligible to the National Guard and empowered to carry arms. Every attempt to oppose this, in however mitigated a form, was the signal of renewed shouts of "Dupont ala fenetre !" " Marie ii la fenetre." The popular will prevailed, and resolutions were passed in accord ance with it. The following proclamations were then issued by the Provisional Government : " PROCLAMATION OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. " To THE FRENCH PEOPLE, " A retrograde Government has been overturned by the heroism of the people of Paris. "The Government has fled, leaving behind it traces of blood, which will for ever forbid its return. " The blood of the people has flowed, as in July ; but, happily, it has not been shed in vain. It has secured a national and popular Government in accord ance with the rights, the progress, aid the will of this great and generous people. " A Provisional Government, at the call of the people and some Deputies in the sitting of the 24th of February, is for the moment invested with the care of organizing and securing the national victory. It is composed of MM. DUPONT DE L'EURE, LAMAR TINE, CREMIEUX, ARAGO, LEDRU-ROLLIN, and GARNIER PAGES. The Secretaries to this Govern ment are MM. ARMAND, MARRAST, Louis BLANC, and FERDINAND FLOCON. " These citizens have not hesitated for an instant to accept the patriotic mission which has been imposed upon them by the urgency of the occasion " Frenchmen, give to the world the example Paris has given to France. Prepare yourselves, by order and confidence in yourselves, for the in stitutions which are about to be given you. " The Provisional Government desires a republic, pending the ratification of the French people, who are to be immediately consulted. " Neither the people of Paris, nor the Provisional Government, desire to substitute their opinion fur the ()Onions of the citizens at large, upon the definite form of Government, which the national sovereignty shall proclaim. " L'unite de la nation, formed henceforth of all classes of the people which compose it. " The Government of the nation by itself. " Liberty, equality, and fraternity for its prin ciples. " The people to devise and to maintain order. " Such is the Democratic Government which France owes to herself, and which our efforts will assure to her.

All the above decrees, &c., are dated the 24th. The following proclamation by the editors of the Democratic Pacifique was extensively placarded throughout Paris on Friday : (Proclamation.) " THE WISHES OF THE PEOPLE. " UNIVERSAL REFORM ! "A general amnesty, the (late) Ministers to be ex cepted therefrom, and brought to trial. • " The right of meeting to be consecrated by an immediate manifestation ; the immediate dissolution of the Chamber, and convocation of the primary assemblies. " A civic guard, under the command of the muni cipal authorities. Abolition of the laws of September. Liberty of speech, liberty of the press, liberty of petitioning, liberty of association, freedom of election. " Electoral reform. Every National Guard is an elector, and eligible. Parliamentary reform. Re muneration of the Deputies; public functionaries to their mind. "Reform of the Chamber of Peers. Royal nomi nation will no longer be tolerated, any more than aristocratic hereditary right. Administrative reform. Guarantees for all public functionaries and employes against the abuse of favours and influences. PRO PERTY TO BE RESPECTED (these words are printed in large capital letters), but the RIG lITS OF LABOUR TO BE GUARANTEED. Work to be insured to the people. " Union and fraternal association between the heads of trading establishments and the operatives. Equality of rights by education given to all; asylums (creches), places of refuge, rural schools, and civic (or urban) schools. Absolute freedom of religion. Absolute independence of conscience. The Church to be independent of the State. " Protection to all the weak, and to women and children. Peace and holy alliance amongst all nations. Abolition of war, in which the people serve as a gun carriage. " Independence of all nationalities. "France the protectress (gardienne) of the rights of weak nations. " ORDER FOUNDED ON LIBERTY (in large capitals). " UNIVERSAL FRATERNITY (likewise in large capitals) " (Signed by the editors of the Dimocratie Pacifique.) To this is added— " P.S.—There is a maa in France who accepts these principles, and who has already proclaimed them—namely, M. de Lamartine." On Friday the Chateau of Vincennes was surren dered to the Provisional Government, and on Satur day tranquillity had been so far restored, that ladies and children again ventured to appear in the streets. The army has accepted the Provisional Government, and the provincial towns are hourly sending in their adhesion. It is said that the people are determined to restore to France the frontier of the Rhine by annexing Belgium, and preparations are making for opposing any attempts on the part of the absolutist powers to invade France. It is generally believed that England will recognise the republic, and, notwithstanding the damage done to the hotel of the British Ambassador, and feelings excited by the numerous applications for passports (applications so numerous that it is physically impossible to comply with them all at once) the people are generally favour ably disposed towards England : it is against Austria that they are most indignant. The strong fortress of Mont Valerien surrendered on Friday night, after a siege of five hours, and all the detached forts are in pos session of the Government. The new Minister of Finance, M. GOUDCHAUX, a Jew, has confirmed all the clerks in their employ ment, and business is going on as usual. The whole of the ensuing year's taxes (notice for the payment of which was issued on Monday) will fall into the hands of the Provisional Government, so that they will be well in funds to commence with. The million a month voted for the Civil List has been transferred to the fund for the relief of the people. The law courts have resumed their sittings (the Cour Royale being called the Cour National), and the Post-office and shops are open. The Palace)of the Tuileries is to be appropriated as an asylum for invalid work men. It is not true that the whole of the furniture of the Tuileries was destroyed. It was only the private furniture in the apartments of LOUIS PHILIPPE. The public property was religiously respected. Every good citizen is declared a National Guard, and to them are entrusted the task of preserving order in the city. A man discovered steal ing a silver spoon was shot on the spot. The debtors, the political and female prisoners detained in the various prisons of the capital, have been released, food has been distributed at the hospitals, and the Provi sional Government has issued orders to the bakers and provision merchants to issue rations to the citi zens under arms, for the payment of which the Government will be answerable. The streets are being partially cleared of the barricades, under the direction of the students of the Polytechnic School. A portion of the National Guard has been mobilised to guard the frontiers. Several of the armed workmen have been draughted into it--their pay is thirty sous a day. LAMORICIERE will take the command of the army of the frontier. A Polish Legion has been formed, and it is generally understood that if other nations demand the assistance of France it will not 'be withheld. The Bunk of France has announced its intention not to limit its discounts, and it has prolonged the time for payment of bills falling due ten days longer It has also put down 100,000 f. for the wounded. M DE ROTHSCHILD has given 50,000 f., and expressed his determination not to leave Paris. Everything is doing to prevent the people from committing excesses. All pawned articles under ten francs are to be redeemed for the owners by the Minister of Finance. The Bourse will not be open till Tuesday. The following has been published by the Director of the General Post-office : " Paris, Feb. 25. " Citizen Governors,—l hasten to announce to you that the mails which were detained yesterday (the 24th) at the Bastille by the barricades of the Rue Charanton quitted Paris early this morning for their destination. I receive by the couriers arrived this morning the most satisfactory accounts of the depart ments through which they passed. Everywhere the proclamation sent yesterday from Paris to communicate the brilliant triumph obtained by the citizens of Paris, and the installation of the Provisional Govern ment, was received with the liveliest sympathy. The statements of the couriers conclude with the follow ing information :—A company of the line has arrived from Amiens, and stopped at Enghein. From Lille, movements of troops stopped at St. Denis. Lancers have entered Rambouiilet, and infantry Versailles. It was said that a regiment from Beauvais was ex.- pected at La Chapelle St. Denis.. _ . " The Provisional Director-General of the Post office, " ETIENNE ARAGO." " P.S. The Princesses were met near Dreux by the courier of Brest. No new movement of troops. I have received this instant a packet of ministerial dispatches, in arrears '24 hours, probably because it was not possible or prudent to send them on. " E. ARAGO." We read in the National—" Alarming rumours as . regards property are spread. The authors of these false imputations can only be enemies of the Govern ment which the people has just acquired by its glo-. rious victory. It is also said that grave misunder standings separate the members of the Provisional Government. We can affirm that the most perfect union has not ceased to exist between the devoted citizens who have accepted the mission of organizing public powers, and of presiding over the establishment of the republican constitution now demanded by almost all the departments." The members of the Provisional Government are firmly resisting all attempts that are being made to coerce them. The people attempted to force them to accept the red flag as the national colour, instead of the tri-colour. The Presse says— " Five times during the day M. de Lamartine ad- dressed the people assembled under the windows of the Hotel de Ville. It is thus that you are led from calumny to calumny against the men who have devoted themselves, head, heart, and breast to give you a real republic, the republic of all rights, all interests, and all the legitimate rights of the people. Yesterday you asked us to usurp, in the name of the people of Paris, the rights of thirty five millions of men, to vote them an absolute republic, instead of a republic invested with the strength of their consent, that is to say, to make of that republic, im posed and not consented, the will of a part of the people instead of the will of the whole nation. To day you demand from us the red flag instead of the tri-colour one. Citizens I for my part, I will never adopt the red flag; and I will explain in Si word why I will oppose it with all the strength of my patriotism. It is, citizens, because the tri-colour flag has made the tour of the world, under the Re public and the Empire, with our liberties and our glories, and that the red flag has only mad e th e t ou r of the Champ de Mars, trained through torrents of the blood of the people.' " At this part of the speech of M. DB LIMARTINE, in that astonishing sitting of sixty hours, in the midst of an irritated crowd, every one was suddenly affected by his words ; hands were clapped, and tears shed, and they finished by embracing him, shaking his . hands, and bearing him in triumph. In a moment after, fresh masses of people arrived, armed with sabres and bayonets ; they knocked at the doors ; they filled the sailer. The cry was that all was lost ; that the people were about to fire on or stifle the members of the Provisional Government. M. DE LAMARTINE was called for. He was sup plicated to go once more for the last time to address the people. He was raised on a step of the staircase, the crowd remained for half an hour without consent ing to listen to him, vociferating, brandishing arms of all kinds over his head. M. DB LAIIIRTINE folded -- his arms, recommenced his address, and finished by softening, appeasing, and caressing the intelligent and sensible people, and determining them either to withdraw; or to become themselves the safe-guard of the Provisional Government. The Provisional Government has announced that the drapeau tricolour is the national flag of the French Republic, and it has published an appeal to the people not to think of abandoning either the Three Colours or the Gallic Cock. The Provisional Government has been proclaimed at Dijon. It was reported at Paris that Neuilly was burnt. Nothing has been heard of the ex-Ministers. They were assembled at M. DUCHATEL'S when they heard of the KING'S abdication, and immediately fled. The KING had, it was said, gone to Eu, with the intention of embarking, at Treport, for England. It is said that the QUEEN and the Princesses escaped with him from the Tuileries. The directors of the Havre Railroad have placed it at the direction of the Provisional Government. The officer charged with the care of As-DEL.• K.ADER has been changed. Prince Louis NAPOLEON arrived at Boulogne on Saturday, and immediately set off for Paris to tender his services to the Government. M. LAMARTINE 7 with a view to save such of the ex-Ministers as may fall into the hands of the people, had proposed the abolition of the punishment of death, but his proposal had been rejected. There was a rumour current in Havre yesterday that Louis PHILIPPE was dead ; it was, however, not credited. The probability is that he would embark at Treport for Portsmouth. In the cabinet of M. Bmiitots, the Aide-de-Camp to Louts PHILIPPE, there was found (on the. capture of the Tuileries), the list and number of the troops and their stations in Paris, and aho the number and stations of the pieces of artillery destined for the defence of the streets, together withl a correspondence on the subject betwen the Due lAN MONTPENSIER and General TIBURCB SEBASTIAN'', showing that the arrangements had been made as early as the 10th February. ARRIVAL OF THE DUKE DB NEMOURS IN LONDON.. —The Duke DE NEMOURS, accompanied by his sister the Duchess of COBURG KOHART, and by Count Jeasuc, arrived in London, at the Embassy in Man chester-square, last evening, having landed at Dover yesterday morning. One of his children accom panied him, but his wife, the Duchess DE NEmousta (cousin of Prince ALBERT) had been lost,: it was said, in the streets of Paris. He himself escaped in disguise, and had not had time to provide himself with even a change of linen. He knew not what had become of the other members of the Royal Family. M. DELBSSERT, the ex-prefect of police, accompanied by Madame DRLESSERT and the Duke DE hIONTE.• BELLO ex-Minister of Marine, have also arrived in London. There is every reason to fear that M. GUIZOT has fallen into the hands of the people. BURNING OF THE INDIAN MAIL.—It is said that the Indian mail, from England, en route for Mar seilles, was seized by the people, in the neighbour hood of Paris, and burned.

Accounts from Messina of the 17th state, that the greatest agitation reigned in that city when the new constitution had been rejected. A great number of the people from Palermo had just arrived with artillery to assist the people of Messina. They were preparing to attack the marine fort, which has a strong garrison. Some assassinations had been com mitted in the town under barbarous circumstances. Great excitement was occasioned in Brussels on the receipt of the intelligence of the proclamation of the republic in Paris. The Brussels Herald of Saturday says—" The exc immimmillA - _
