Yesterday evening a variety of dark and ominous rumours in reference to• the expatriated family of Louzs PHILIPPE received from the lips of her AIA. AESTY'S Chief Secretary for Foreign Affairs a most positive and satisfactory contradiction. Lord FALMBRSTON, in a single breath, vindicated the diplomatic dharacter of Lord NORMANDY, insisted THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY _EVENING,'~; MARCH 22, 1848. upon the maintenance of our national renown for hospitality, and dissipated, to a considerable extent, the aspirations of those who are still solicitous to witness the restoration of the Orleans dynasty, and the re-establishment of French sovereignty. With as much distinctness as was expressible by articulate language the Noble Viscount declared that, so far from any apology whatever having been con veyed to the Provisional Minister, M. DE LAMAR.. TINE, by the British Ambassador resident in Paris, that distinguished Nobleman (the Mar quis of NORMANEY) had intimated to the Republican Government at the Hotel de Ville, the determination of the English nation to display its proverbial hospitality towards the ex-Royal Family of France—coupling that intimation , however, with the assurance that in all our dealings with the French Government " the English Government would act fairly, honourably, and openly, and that under no circumstances would there be the slightest ground for imputing our engaging in any intrigues hostile to the present Provisional Government." Of the sincerity of this solemn and explicit declaration, on the part of the official representive of her Britannic MAJESTY, we are satisfied there could be no doubt whatever, even in the minds of the most suspicious members of the Republican Administration. Throughout the whole of the recent proceedings beyond the Channel, before, indeed, the Reform banquet was pro jected in the Champs Ely.‹es, the posture assumed by the Cabinet of St. James's has been altogether inimical to the once powerful intriguers of the Tuile ries. If any country could rejoice more than another in the humiliation of that Sovereign who had belied his oath upon the Charter of 1830, who had disarmed patriotism by duplicity, and democracy by corrup tion, who had forgotten the interests of his people in the furtherance of his dynastic ambition, and had bartered the hand, the heart, and the body of ISA BELLA out of the greed excited by a prospective diadem —if any country, we say, could regard the abdication and banishment of this perfidious potentate with supe rior gratification, that country would unquestionably be England. Everybody recognised this. The Pro visional Government, headed by ALPHONSE DE Ls- MARTINE saw it. A chasm had been yawning wider and wider—for years—between the Orleans dynasty and England : and now that that dynasty was reduced by the great Revolution of February to insignificance and impotence, it was manifest that physically and morally that gulf of separation was impassable. Whatever munificence therefore might be evinced in England towards the fallen foes of the United Kingdom, could only redound to the greater glory of these islands as the abode of a magnani mous and relenting race—it could never by any chance, the ;most unparalleled, lead to the reconciliation of the policies of the Count DE NEUILLY and 'Viscount PALMERSTON. Intrigues hostile to the republican supremacy in France could consequently originate alone in the bosoms of the Orleans refugees. Such intrigues were already suspected ; and although her MAJESTY'S Secretary for Foreign Affairs asserted last night (in answer to a question from Lord DUDLEY STUART) that neither himself nor his colleagues were ac quainted, through any official source, with circum stances implicating the Duke and Duchess Da MONT.. PENSIER with transactions of a reprehensible cha racter, it is impossible to discard from the mind all idea of plans opposed to the interests of the Provi sional Government being organized in the seclu sion of Claremont. Louis PHILIPPE has lived for seventeen years in an atmosphere of intrigue—plotting has become the very aim of his existence—guile has become his element—scheming is his profession—ingratitude is his most notorious weakness —craft and adroitness are his most habitual resources. Is it likely, therefore, that in an instant he can, like one of the sparrows of OvID, undergo a total metamorphosis ? Has he cast away his predi lections for conspiracy as entirely as he sung off his wig when escaping ? Has he severed from his dis position his predominant tendency to delusion a s effectually as he shaved off his whiskers under a like emergency ? On his reaching Newhaven the ex-Monarch was clothed in honest duck and dreadnought has he clad his intellect in like manner with the simple and unaccustomed garment of truth ? Is it probable ? Is it possible ? We hear, in the first Great Revolution, of the hair of .11ARIE ANTOINETTE being silvered in a single night —in that awful night when she was detained in tha grocer's shop at Varennes. Was the conscience of Louis PHILIPPE with equal rapidity bleached to a virgin whiteness by the agonies of his expulsion ? O miracle of purgation—it it were so ! But that such was the magical consequence of the catastrophe we are more than doubtful. Accounts just received from Madrid state that the mission of General ZAREO DEL VALLES to Berlin has reference to an Orleans project of restoration, al though the departure of that officer is ostensibly for the purpose of inspecting the fortifications of Prussia and witnessing military manoeuvres. It is asserted in deed that ZAREO DEL VALLES has received authority from the Christina Cabinet to propose to the Northern Powers, through the medium of the Prussian Govern ment, an active co-operation with Spain in an en deavour to revive monarchy in France, and to re elevate to the throne of that country the dynasty of the Count ng NEUILLY. In consideration of this assistance the envoy of the Duchess DE RIANZARES was said to be empowered to require simply the re cognition of the sovereignty of Queen ISABELLA by the Courts of Northern Absolutism. Poor ZAREO DEL VALLES ! how he must have opened his eyes when he reached Berlin ! And if he went onwards to Vienna, how he must have stared at the effigy of Prince METTERNICH swinging before the porch of his residence I How he must have rubbed his eyes, and, like the royal lover under the influence of TIMOTHEUS, " Sigh'd and look'd, And sigh'd and look'd, And sigh'd and look'd, And sigh'd again." Onwards, still onwards, good, stupid ZAREO DEL VALLES, to the only resource of the Orleanists,—to St. Petersburgh ! Bon voyage In the intense interest and excitement occasioned in this country by the startling events daily transpiring in foreign nations, it is almost to be feared that we shall forget our own necessities, It is almost to be apprehended that public attention, being wholly ab • sorbed by the gent movements now agitating not France only, but the whole of continental Europe, we may become negligent of humbler, but scarcely less important matters nearer home. It is natural indeed that we should sympalhise, and that too with no com mon sentiments, in the events just now agitating the heart of Christendom, because our sympathy is elicited not by external changes, not by temporary revolu tions in this or that kingdom, but by the animus by which those movements were inspired. Our warmest sympathies and our liveliest anxieties are excited by the simultaneous demonstration of the spirit of nationality in kingdoms where we had hi therto deemed it hopelessly inert. Nevertheless— however great may be our sympathy for such manifestations, however great may be our anxiety for their ultimate success, we must not, in the meantime, in our interest for the regeneration of other kingdoms, forget the necessities of our own country• men. We must not neglect our duties as citizens while indulging our sympathies as freemen. In the univer sality of the interests of the philanthropist we must not forget the more immediate duties of the patriot. We have not, it is true, in this country any domestic tyranny to overthrow, or even any monster griev ance to redress —the resolution of our ancestors, and our own continued exertions, have happily prevented or obviated any such necessity. But we have a whole host of minor abuses which require reforma tion, and an infinite multitude of salutary measures which it is most important and smost= exigent should be immediately enforced. Very multitude of these requests, however, in. Cr4.4s t tbe difficulty of the legislator while it 'at the same time increases the necessity for immediate interfeience on the part of the Legislature. It is unnecessary just now to particularise all those abuseS , which require immediate reform, and those propositions for the amelioration of the community which require instantaneous attention ; one, however, and a not unimportant one, is more particularly suggested to us by the publication of a recent report of the Health of Towns Association. Of all those domestic reforms, in the promotion of which we are . solicitous that the public should not be remiss, there is not one:of more importance than the reformation of those evils which affect the sanitary condition of the people. In the report of the Association now before us the inestimable importance of the subject is very fairly and very forcibly set forth. The fol lowing, for example, is a most emphatic epitome of the evils consequent upon the present state of the sanitary laws, and the contrary benefits sought to be established by the Association. " It should be borne in mind"—so runs the paragraph to which we have alluded—" that, though not a charity, the Association has the strongest claims on the charitable, for it aims at preventing the ♦ery evils which charities are formed to palliate. It would substitute health for disease, cleanliness for filth, order for disorder, eco nomy for waste, prevention for palliation, justice for charity, enlightened self-interest for ignorant selfish ness, and bring home to the poorest and meanest among us, in purity and abundance, the sim plest blessings which ignorance and negligence have long combined to limit or to spoil—Air, Water, and Light." If such be the objects of the Associa tion, and if they be really qualified to promote such objects, every true philanthropist must sincerely wish them God-speed. In this, as in every other great question, there must always be a difference of opinion on minor particulars, but, as regards the principle at issue, it is hardly possible to imagine a doubt or objection that could by any means be started, on the terrible state, not only of destitution, but of degradation, in which the poorer classes of England exist. There is un happily no possibility of entertaining two opinions upon this Foint. That they do exist in an atmosphere poisoned by noxious exhalations of all descriptions, that their miserable dwellings are deprived of all the necessary comforts of sufficient light and free ventilation, is indubitable. This side of the question admits of no doubt ; neither is it possible to con ceive any doubt as to the 'advisability and necessity of some immediate amelioration. This is one of the subjects of which we sincerely hope the public will not be forgetful. The report to which we have already alluded expresses a regret that the session of 1847 passed away without legislation. We certainly coincide with that regret, and earnestly do we desire to have no similar cause for lamenting the present session. There are other equally important measures, it is true, which we are desirous of seeing speedily put in progress ; yet this sanitary question has the right of precedence, for, to quote again the words of the report, " the improvement of the physical circum stances of the people is a necessary preliminary to those higher reforms which the philanthropist and the educationist desire to carry out." A letter from St. Petersburgh of the 11th of March says—" The Emperor has given instructions to the Minister of War to place the troops on a war footing. his Imperial Majesty feels bound to adopt tkis step by the terms of existing treaties with other Powers, and in the event of a necessity arising, for affording all the protection in his power to the claims of legitimacy against the destructive advance of revolutionists an 1 anarchists." A letter from Milan, of the 14th, states that the Viceroy, having endeavoured to raise a loan of one million livres (860,000 f.) received several refusals ; but at length M. PONT' consented to advance it en a mortgage of his villa of the Lake of Como, and on his private estates in the province of Treviso. The following is the official list of the new Ca binet appointed by the King of Sardinia : The Count de Cesare Balbo, President of the Council. The Marquis Laurent Pareto, Minister of Foreign Affairs. The Count Vincent Ricci, Interior. The Count Thaon de Revel, Finances. The Chevalier de Ambrois, Public Works. The Count Frederick Selopis, Justice. General Franzini, War and Marine. The Chevalier Charles Bon Compagni, Public In struction. A new Ministry has been formed at Rome, of which the following is a list : Cardinal A ntonelli, President of the Council and Minister of Foreign Affairs. M. Iteechi de Ferrara, Interior. Monsignor Morichini, Finances. M. Minghetti, of Bologna, Public Works. Prince Aldobrandini, War. The Advocate Galletti, of Bologna, Police. Cardinal Memofanti, Public Instruction. Count Passolini of Ravenna, Commerce. The Advocate Sturbinetti, Justice. Letters from Rome of the 11th state, that the Con stitution, or Statuto, would be proclaimed on the 14th. The Roman Bank had temporarily suspended its payments, in consequence of not receiving the specie it expected from different parts of Italy. This mea sure has spread the greatest alarm among the holders of notes and the small traders. A sacrilege had been committed in the church of St. Peter. The shrine, containing the head of St. Andrew, with about 30,000 crowns' worth of jewels, was forced open on the 10th, and the precious relics stolen. The Risorgimento of the 11th inst. brings accounts from Milan of the 14th. The Viceroy was to leave on the following day for an estate in Germany, whither he had caused to be conveyed his library, museum, and all his private property. The seal of the Government would, it was believed, be transferred from Milan to Verona for greater security► being there placed under the protection of the fortifi cations, which extend from Legnano to Saltsburg. The correspondent of the Risorgimento observes, that this retreat to the Adige was variously commented upon, and that it was evident that Austria had re nounced all idea of attacking Piedmont. The Parisi, Florence journal, of the 14th instant, announces that M. LIROCHEFOUCAULD, Minister Ple nipotentiary of France, had resigned his post, after sending in his adhesion to the Republican Govern ment, and taken leave of the GRAND Dvxa on the 13th. Madrid journals of the 15th have arrived. The Minister of Finance introduced, on the 14th, into the Chamber of Deputies, a Bill for the settle ment of the floating Treasury debt, for which pur pose the Minister was to be authorised to create Treasury bills to the amount of 80,000,000 reels, divided into four series, and payable in twelve partiL, from 1849 to 1852 both included. The Gageta publishes the law granting dictatorial powers to the Ministers, which has passed the Senate and received the Royal assent. • MADRID BOLSA, MARCH 15.—The Three per Cents. were done at 23i for cash ; the Five per Cents., at 14i for paper; the Debt, without interest, at 5; and the Coupons at 10. ARRIVAL of PRINCE JOINVILLE AND THE DUKE D'AUMALE, AND THEIR FAMILIES. The Lords of the Admiralty have this morning received intelligence of the safe arrival of the Prince and Princess Joinville, with the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale, and their families. The unfortunate exiles arrived in the French Government steamer Solan, at Dartmouth, yester day morning ; having started from Lisbon, on the 15th instant. At half• past eight the Princes landed, and proceeded in two carriages and four to the Totnes station of the South Devon Railway, and took their departare for Maidenhead, where, we understand, they posted to Claremont. The Prince Joinville and the Duke d'Aumale ar rived at Buckingham Palace this forenoon, and had an audience with his Royal Highness Prince Albert. HER MAJESTY'S HEALTH. The following bulletin of her Majesty's health was issued this morning:— " Buckingham Palace, March 22, Nine A.M. " Her Majesty's recovery goes on favourably. " The infant Prineemeontinues well. • s" -14 JAMES CLARK, 41 ^ll- 0 41-CHARLES LOCOCK,- , 7.4 k Lt "CHARLES ; 44 ~„ itthi; FERGUSON. " The next bulletin will be issued on Friday." • IRELAND. ' (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) Informations for sedition have been sworn against Smith O'Brien, Mitchell, and Meagher, sen. War rants are issued. BRICKS.—By an official return it Appears that the duty paid on bricks in England, amounted in the year 1846 to 625,5071, and in the year 1847 to 672,7814, AUSTRIA, GERMANY, AND PRUSSIA. Advices from Vienna, to the 16th have been re ceived. At that period the capital was tranquil. A Provisional Council has been appointed, com posed of the following popular members :—The Baron STIFET, Baron DOPPELIOT, STARNETZ, METER, and ROBERTS. Count D'APPONI has resigned his office of Grand Chancellor of Hungary. The palace of Prince METTEENIcu, within the city of Vienna, has not been injured by the populace. On the 15th, however, the mob erected a gallows in the front of his palace, and inflicted capital punishment on the effigy of its most unpopular proprietor. This exhibition continued during the entire day, nor did the authorities dare to check it. A correspondent writing from Vienna, of the 14th, says :—" The Princess Metternich has taken her departure along with the prince, her husband. The Prince has defended his political system to the last extremity. The States were not able to deliberate in consequence of the cries of ' A has Metternich,' which drowned the voices of the speakers. At nine o'clock a deputation of the States having gone to the palace to request of the Emperor to send away Prince Metternich, the Prince himself came to them and said, ' I have this moment placed my resignation in the hands of his Majesty the Emperor.' Upon which the deputation answered :—' We thank you, you have saved the country.' " The accounts from Prague and Graetz also speak of popular movements in these cities. The following Imperial decree was issued on the 14th : " Considering the present political circumstances, we have resolved to assemble around our throne the States of our German and Sclavonian kingdoms, as well as the central congregations of our Lombardo, Venetian kingdom, by deputies*, irr order that they may gi►e us counsel on legislative and administrative questions. It is on this account that we have given orders that that meeting shall take place on the 3d of July next, or later if it cannot take place then. " Vienna, March 14." "FERDINAND. On the 15th the EMPEROR took a drive in his carriage through several of the principal streets of the capital, accompanied by his brother. The people wanted to take the horses from the carriage and draw it themselves, but at the express instance of the Era risaort they refrained from such an act of servility. A letter from Hanover, of the 18th, says— " A deputation from various states waited on the King yesterday, to enforce the claims of the people to various reforms. His ➢iajesty, after hearing several of its mem bers, asked time for consideration; but the delay was objected to, as altogether needless, and in half-an-hour the King's reply was made known to them. This im portant document grants, first, freedom of the press; secondly, the convention and public deliberation of the States; thirdly, an amnesty for all political offences. Nor were the rest of their demands rejected, although the royal reply, in that respect, is less specific, and therefore less satisfactory." Had King ERriisT hesitated to accede to the de.. mands of the people, it is said to have been their in. tention to have expelled King ERNEST and his son, and to have proclaimed Prince GRoaom of Cambridge King of Hanover. On the evening of the 16th disturbances again broke out in Munich. A crowd assembled in front of the KING'S palace, where they declared LOLA Morriss was concealed. They broke the windows and erected barricades. The troops were called out to defend the palace, and several persons were wounded. The magistrates announced, by order of the Mi nister of the Interior, that LoLL MONTSB had arrived at Carlsruhe, and had gone from thence to Frankfort-on-the-Main. At midnight the rappel was beaten throughout the city. The prefecture of the police was attacked, and the prisoners set at liberty. The troops arrived at eight o'clock the following morning, and put an end to the disorder. Another crowd then gathered in front of the palace, but it was dispersed by the military, though not till it had smashed the windows of the ,palace. The students and the bourgeoioie supported the military. The Gazelle de Cologne of the 20th gives the fol lowing from Berlin : " BERLIN, 111Ancst 18. The day has been a san guinary one. The crowd directed its steps towards the square in front of the palace, in order to testify to the King the gratitude of the people for the ordonnance which convokes the States for the 2d of April next, and grants the liberty of the press. All of a sudden some individuals began to hoot and threaten the military. 'The dragoons charged, and were repulsed. They then attacked the people with their sabres. The cry of ' Aux armes' was immediately to be heard on all sides. Barricades were erected in the twinkling of an eye, and the massacre between the citizeas and the military commenced. The number of killed is computed at upwards of 100 persons. " Mlaca 18, Fill.: O'CLOCE.—Tho decree which con vokes the states of the United Diet of the 2d of April has been received with enthusiasm, but that which has tended most to calm the public mind is the news that four Ministers have given in their resignation, namely, De,Thile, Eichhorn, Savigny, and Bodelschwing. Some add the name of Stolberg. It was also said that Messrs. de Vinke, de Schwerin, Camphausen, and Auerswald hare been recalled, and that the two latter have arrived. lIALY-PAST SaYEN , ETENlNG.—Tranquillity is re stored within the last half-hour. No more musket-shots are to be hoard. Unfortunately ten cannon-shots were *red, a measure which was not only imprudent, but altogether useless. " flee, PAST NINE P.M.—The disorders are not yet at an end. A violent fire has at this moment broken out in the quarter called Louisen. The town is so full of soldiers and guard so strictly kept that the couriers cannot leave. No newspapers are delivered in the city. I learn positively that the garrison of Berlin is about to retire. The Landwehr has been sent for to guard the town." The Cologne Gatelle also publishes the decree of the King of PRUSSIA, dated Berlin the 11th, convoking the Diet ; to which is annexed the fol lowing : "Law concerning the liberty of the Press—the cen sorship is abolished, and all laws relating thereto are abrogated. Offences of the press shall be tried by the ordinary tribunals. The penal laws in vigour are applied." Here follow the provisions relative to the caution money, the declaration, and other formalities having for their object the giving guarantees to the State. A letter from Berlin, of the lsth, says— " Tranquillity is restored and confidence is reviving. The decree of the king, convoking the United Diet for the 2d of April, has been received with enthusiasm." It is evident, therefore, that there is no foundation for the rumour that the King of PRUSSIA had abdi cated, and had been driven from Berlin. The Cologne Gazelle adds, that it had neither re ceived the Universal Gazette of Prussia, nor the Zeitungshalle, two Berlin evening papers of the lath. " COLOGNE, 19111.—The deputation sent to Berlin was favourably received by the King, who gave it the most formal assurances." " BERLIN, 11.—The liberty of the press granted by the King, and the convocation of the Diet for the 2d April, have filled the people with joy. The crowd proceeded to the Royal-square, to express its gratitude to the Kiag. At two o'clock the King appeared at the balcony and was enthusiastically cheered. In the meantime, how ever, a troop of dragoons arrived on the square, and the people cried out, Back with the soldiers.' The Colonel, M. de Priethwitz, resisted the injunction, and charged the multitude, th e d ragoons ma ki n g u se of their swords. It is said that the posts of infantry throughout the capital likewise fired upon the people. The cry, 'To arms!' then became general. The citizens dispersed through the city, and the population tumultuously as sembled in the streets. Barricades were erected in every direction, and a sanguinary collision ensued between the inhabitants and the troops. Two soldiers were mas sacred on the square of Doenhof. An officer who had fired on the people was likewise killed. The number of dead at this moment amounts to about 100. If the gar rison does not evacuate the city to-night we may expect a dreadful massacre. This instant I have heard several volleys of platoon firing." The Borsenhalle of the 18th has letters from Ko nigsberg to the 14th instant, which report great disturbances in that city on the preceding day. An immense concourse ass embled around the building in which the Municipal " Ressource" was sitting, and refused to disperse when the meeting broke up, although implored to do so by M. WALES. RODE, a great popular favourite. The enraged multitude proceeded to the police station, where they tore u p the pavement, b down, coke all the window, A " 'ii'ed the stifitters in pieces with - axes, }and-- vowed vengeance against the Police President, LAUTEREACR, a man universally detested. Thq gend'armerie and police could not arrest the violence of the crowd, and the soldiery were equally impotent. At length a furious charge was made upon the people by the Cuirassiers, who displayed the same brutal ferocity as at Cologne. Many peaceable citizens Were seriously wounded, and two killed. Several were arrested and sent to prison. On the 14th the tumult was still Tory alarming. The address forwarded to Berlin by the Municipal " Ressource" has provoked his MAJESTY to dissolve the assembly definitively, and the framers of the obnoxious document are to be prosecuted ; although the proceedings are temporarily suspended by the police. A fresh outbreak occurred at Dresden on the 15th, which was not wholly suppressed at the departure of the courier. The Leipsic Gazette of the 16th announces the formation of a new Saxon Ministry, composed of Dr. BEAux, Minister of Justice; Dr. Von DER PFORDTEN, Minister of the Interior and (ad interim) of Foreign Affairs ; M. GEORGI, Minister of Fi nance ; and M. Von HOLTZENDORF, Provisional Minister of War. The following is the programme of the new Cabinet : " PROCLAMATION. " To the people of Saxony—Called by his Majesty the King to the head of affairs, the undersigned have unanimously agreed to the following fundamental prin ciples and measures, viz., the swearing of the troops to the constitution; the abolition of the censorship for ever; a press law without the system of concessions and securities (cctutionen); reform of the legal system on the basis of publicity and oral process; trial of general offences by jury; reform of the electoral law; recognition of the right of association, with pre cautionary measures against abuse; legal arrange ment of ecclesiastical affairs in the spirit of toleration and equality; proposal for the revision of the federal tariff (Voreinzolltarif); co-operation for the timely for mation of the great German Confederation, and the re presentation of the people therein. His Majesty has been pleased to approve of these measures and princi ples. Accordingly, the necessary steps will be taken to carry them into effect. " The Saxon people will duly appreciate the great im portance of the royal resolution, and do so by maintain ing tranquillity and order in the country. (Signed) " Dr. BRAUN. " Dr. Von Der PFORDTEN. " GEORGI. " Dresden, March 16, 1848." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The following telegraphic dispatch was received in Paris on Monday : " METZ, MARCH 20, 10 O'CLOCK, ♦.M. "THE COMMISSART OF THE GOVERNMENT TO THE MINISTER OT THE INTERIOR. " Intelligence reached Mayence the day before yester day that the people of Berlin, after vainly demanding from the King the grant of a constitution, had attack. d and overpowered the troops of th• garrison. The King at first sought refuge in the fortress of Spandau, six miles from Berlin, and afterwards fled in the direction of Vienna. 1500 men were killed, and a greater number wounded. This intelligence was brought to Meta by the guard of the Bavarian stage-coach." The Journal des Debats and the Constitutionnel ex press great doubts as to the authenticity of this in telligence, the only authority for which is the report of the conductor of the Bavarian mail. The Cologne Gazette, which has intelligence from Berlin to the 18th, says not a word of the flight of the KING ; and by the steamer Queen of Scotland, which arrived at Hull yesterday, from Hatiburgh, we have intelligence from Berlin as late as noon on Saturday, at which hour Berlin continued in tranquillity. The following is the news from Berlin brought by the Queen of Scotland : " BERLIN, MARcI 18 " The deputation which arrived from Cologne for the purpose of presenting a petition to the King returned to that city at nine o'clock this morning. "It is generally understood that the meeting of the General Congress, originally determined upon for the 27th, will be held on the 4th of April. "Berlin continued in tranquillity up to the departure of the train for Hamburgh at noon of Saturday." With regard to the state of Paris itself, a letter dated Monday evening says — This day has been the quietest we have passed here since the glorious days of February. With the exception of a procession of the chilionniers, and another of the water-carriers, both of which important corporations went this morning to the Hotel de Ville to give their adhesion to the Republic, we have had nothing in the shape of ex citement in our streets. Every one is absorbed with the news of the revolution at Vienna, and the pride and delight with which the overthrow of Prince Metternich has been hailed may be conceived, when it is remembered that, as one of the principal authors of the treaties of Vienna, every Frenchman looks upon him as the greatest enemy of his country. The effect of the Austrian revolution on affairs here is considered rather favourable than otherwise. The Emperor has now too much to do at home to think of a crusade against French liberalism, and the movement at Vienna may, therefore, be con sidered a guarantee that no attempt will be made by the Northern Powers to interfere in France. S )me of the papers, in the enthusiasm of the mo ment, speak of the revolution of Vienna as having at once had the effect of setting Lombardy at liberty, and they speak of the Lombardo-Venetian Republic as if it were a matter already established. It is not likely, however, that the more moderate members of the Government will readily allow themselves to be carried away by such ideas. They are too well aware of the dangers of Propagandism to allow themselves to be lightly drawn into such a course. The Tuscan Minister waited on M. DE LAMAR.. TINS on Monday, to express on the part of the Grand Duke of TUSCANY his satisfaction at the pacific dis position of the Republic, and his desire to continue the friendly relations which have hitherto subsisted between the two countries. A deputation of Savoyards resident in Paris also presented their congratulations to the Provisional Government. The SARDINIAN AMRASSADOR had been invited to put himself at their head, but bad refused. There was an emeule at Lille on Saturday, in con sequence of a strike for wages amongst the workmen. Tranquillity was soon restored by the National, Guard. Seventeen workmen were arrested, five of whom are Belgians. The Moniteur of Monday publishes a document which brings to light a flagrant case of scandal against M. GUIZOT, and which proves that that Minis ter, undeterred by previous exposures, pursued his corrupt and dishonest system of government up to the last moment of his political existence. The docu ment was found among the papers of M. GBNIE (the negotiator of the Petit affair), the private secretary of M. Gurzor, and is a report from M. BOUCHT, the Procureur du Roi to the Minister of Justice, with re spect to some charges brought against M. LIBRI, a well known member of the Institute, and a profes sor of the University, for stealing books from the public libraries. M. LIBRI was in the confi dence of M. GUIZOT and M. DUCHATBL. lle was frequently employed by these two Minis ters to make researches in the public libra ries, and he had consequently access to all the most valuable collections in France, and he took the opportunity thus afforded him of abstracting valuable works from the libraries in Paris, Carpen tras, Montpellier, the Chartreuse at Grenoble, and other places, to the amount, it is calculated, of be tween three and four hundred thousand francs. The report is dated as late as the 4th of February last. Several of the works have been sold by public auction in Paris, and some of them have found their way to the British Museum. A manuscript Psalter, belong- ' ing to the Chartreuse at Grenoble, was part of the stolen goods, and was purchased by an eminent col• lector in London for 2801. What makes the affair still more curious is, that M. LIBRI was the intimate friend, visitor, and confidant of M. GUIZOT up to the very last ; although M. Guizor must have been fully aware of the suspicions against him, for the Government was in possession of information on this subject more than two years ago. M. LIBRI wrote the articles in the Journal des Debate in defence of the Italian policy of M. GUIZOT, and was also the author of the articles which appeared in the Revue des Deux Mondes, in defence of the GUIZOT Adminis tration. M. LIBRI, who received a hint of the dis covery of this document, has fled from France. General CAVAIGNA.C, the new Governor-General of Algeria, has addressed the following proclamation to the army of Africa : " Soldiers,—The Republic has been proclaimed amidst the acclamations of the country. A solemn assembly of the nation will not delay to sanction the first act of its will. " Soldiers, your duty is not difficult; your arms be. long to the country, and you will be happy to shed your blood for her. " The Provisional Government of the Republic has placed me at your head. Soldiers, I em not deceived in you. If the nation had stood in need of a man de voted to it, it might have taken one at chance from among yea. The Government wished for more ; it wished to respond to the idea of the whole country. In fixing on me it wished to do honour, in the name of the nation, to the memory of a virtuous citizen, to a martyr for liberty. "The nation wishes you to be commanded with firm ness and with justice. To those to whom it confides the power over you, it orders not to forget that you are her children. It wishes that your chiefs should merit your confidence, and it forbids them to obtain it by weakness or forgetfulness of their duties. You will find me such as many of you know me to be, for I am not just come among you. As to you, your duty lies in one word, obedience.' Obedience, not to the will of a man, but to military law, such as it has been established. " Soldiers—Your attitude, your love of duty, and of discipline, will assure the friends of the Republic, and inspire alarm in the minds of its enemies. (Signed) "E. CAVAIGNAC, Governor-General." The I?eforme has the following on the late events at Vienna, and on the expulsion of Prince MET THRNICH and the principal courtiers : " The students of the Ecole des Beaux Arts fought like heroes. Metternich quitted Vienna amidst univer sal execrations. Amongst those driven from the capital were the Empress Mother and the Princess de Metter nich, who had evinced great irritation at the events in l'aris. The above-named personages were continually ordering masses to be said to preserve Austria from the revolutionary poison. The Redemptionists and the Jesuits, who are specially protected by these Indies, will be also sent away. M. Pilat, who held the same situation with M. Metternich as M. Genie did with M. Guizot,has been also obliged to leave, and give up the editor ship of the Austrian Obsel ver. All the paid personnel are included in the general route. M. de Jarke, one of the writers sent from Berlin to propagate the doctrine of the system of historiques, left in great haste. After Metternieb, the person who has most excited the curses of the people by -his oppressions, has been the Arch duke Louis. This Prince was, moreover, the right hand of the deceased Francis 1., his brother, and defended the system of Metternich to the last extremity. He keeps himself concealed in dread of popular resentment. No one is ignorant at Vienna that it is to the Archduke Louis, Metternich, Fiquelmont, and Prince Munch de Bellinghausen, that are to be attributed the massacres at Tarnow, and those more recently in Milan. The Aus trian people have ceased to be responsible for them, as they have so worthily fought against and expelled those who had brought such a stain on its name. As to the famous Congress of Sovereigns, great and small, who were to have assembled at Dresden, it will not take place; the members of that Congress fly in all directions, and everywhere find revolution and propagandism." The Democratic Paa:fiptc m'akes the following re• marks:— " Formerly in Europe a revolution was the signal for war ; to-day each new revolution is a pledge fur the peace of the world. " There is no chance of war. The last bulwark of absolutism has been destroyed ! At Vienna, in Austria, a sudden and irresistible insurrection has overthrown Metternich, reduced the princes of the Imperial Family to the station of private gentlemen, has with one blow accomplished the emancipation of Lombardy, of Hun gary, of Tyrol, of Croatia, of Galicia, and of the hereditary states of Austria themselves. " According to the latest accounts the Austrian Re public had not yet been proclaimed. The powerless Emperor was left alone in his palace either from indif ference or contempt ; but after a change of Ministry effected by armed force, no Monarch can long retain his crown. Ask the banished Louis Philippe how many hours elapsed between the ridiculous and tardy conces sions of a Mole Ministry and the fall of the dynasty ! " Blood has flowed in the streets of Vienna ; the troops fraternised with the people; citizens and armed students guard the city. The capital of Austria, accord ing to the Prussian journals, is in the same state as Faris was on the 23d of February. Vienna will soon hare its 24th. Eternal peace, association, labour, harmony, are now the signification of those feared terms, revolution and re public. "The day of war is past. Let battalions be formed, but let them be battalions of workmen ; let us untold the banners of peace, let us advance to the attack of un cultivated deserts, of waste lands, and pestilential marshes; let us exterminate ignorance, let us annihilate poverty." M. - EMILE DR GIRARDIN has proposed in the columns of the Presse, the adoption of the following plan to meet the existing financial crisis : " The suppression of the sinking fund, which compli cates the budget of the state, and takes away from the taxes twenty. five millions per annum; the closing of the offices of the sinking fund, which will be a saving; the rigorous application of Articles 421 and 422 of the penal code, which interdicts and punishes wagers for the rise and fall of the public funds. The conversion of the agens de change into etgens du trisor, to be paid by the State, having a fixed salary, and giving their assistance gratuitously in the purchase, the sale, or the transfer of public effects. Tho delivery of inscriptions of one franc of rente. The emission of billets a rente to replace Bons Royaue. The conversion at will either into inscriptions of Three per Cent. Kettle, at fifty francs, or into billets a rente of the Bons Royaux in circulation, of the Canton money deposited with the Government, and of all the funds, which, whatever their title may be, constitute the floating debt. Lastly, the re-purchase by the State, payable at will, either in inscription of Three per Cent. Bentes, or in billets de rents of all the great lines of railway already conceded; of all canals, mines, beet-root sugar manufactories, and salt works." The Siic/c publishes the following on the ap proaching elections. It may be considered as the programme of M. OmLori BARROT and the rump of the old Gauche Dynastigue— " We have received many communications and propo sitions as to the formation of an electoral committee. After having attentively examined them, without flinch ing from the duties that a new state of things imposes, but on the contrary the better to fulfil them, we have put aside these different proposals. The motives which have decided us may be summed up in this—the old party of the Opposition is no more. Some men remain with their previous character, their renown, their services but the party is no more. We should think it puerile to endeavour to revive it, and we do not mean to form an other out of its elements, which, in a time in which the support of every good citioen is so necessary to Govern. merit, might appear, whatever might be its inten tion, an opposition party. By the constant firm ness of our opinions and our conduct under the fallen Government wo have acquired the right to speak the truth to the present one. We protest in favour of the liberty of discussion. But this liberty, so precious to us, which we have so long laboured to ob tain, and which we will preserve inviolate for the com mon interest, for the honour and safety of the republic, we will use in a spirit of concord, union, and benevo lence. We would support and strengthen the power to which France has trusted its destinies, not fetter or weaken it ; we would aid the mass of the people, so long and so unjustly disinherited, to take regular pos session of political life, and not contest its victory or lessen its results; we would efface all distinctions of parties and classes, enlist those new men who have faith, ardour, and hope, taking care not to exclude those who have distinguished themselves by their information and devotion. Let the practical expe rience of the agriculturist, the hidden genius of the operative, the modest merit of the well-disposed man find a place beside those whose superiority., hi therto more conspicuous, is exhibited in the arts, in literature, in the magistracy, and the army. This should, this must be. In the bosom of this national assembly, where a fraternal union should exist, and which will, we hope, agree in proclaiming the wants of our times, and will have the most difficult problems to solve, the question is not to obtain the ascendant for this or that shade of republican opinion, to obtain a greater or less majority of the inhabitants of the town or the country of such or such citizens ; it is to consti tute a majority strong, enlightened, honest, and firm, resolved to maintain the Republic, to defend it against all aggressions, to finish and consolidate the work of regeneration which they undertake, and also to preserve it from all excess, and from all stain, and cause France to be loved for her worth mid respected for her virtues by all Europe. To this end shall all our efforts be directed. We desire to see the idea of concord, of pro gress, of order, and true liberty realised. We much prefer such a course to working fruitlessly, after all the experience we have had, to ensure the triumph of a party." . Marshal BUGEAUD: has been summoned to appear before the Juge d'lnstruction of Perigueux to answer various interrogatories addressed to him by the Com mission appointed to draw up the act of impeachment against the late Ministers. It is said that General CAVAIGNAC will be ap pointed Minister at War, and will be succeeded in the Governorship of Algeria by General CMANOAIt- MEN. The retirement of General SULIERTIB from the Ministry of War is caused by the necessity of effect ing a radical change in the constitution of the army, to place it in " harmony with the Republican prin ciple." This great reform could net be carried out by the aged Minister, and under the " influences" that reign in the bureaux of the present War Depart ment ; 100 eleve s of the School of St. Cyr are to re ceive their commissions Without completing the usual term of study. M. ARAGO, the Minister of Marine, purposes or ganizing a commission for placing the French coast in a state of defence. The Moniteur announces that a supply of 6,000,000 of killogrammes of coal would be adjudicated at L'Orient, on the 29th of March. By a decree of the Provisional Government the Minister of War was authorised to place at the die posal of the General commanding the moveable Na tional Guard the articles necessary for their imme diate equipment. M. HIrrOLYTE BLEST♦ had been appointed sub delegate of the Provisional Government to the National Discount Bank of Paris. The Orleans Railroad Company had been per. witted to convert the open carriages of the third class into close carriages, and to raise the fare from 5 centimes to 5f centimes per kilometre. By another decree the Provisional Government regulated the mode of surveillance of the different railroads. .1 The general directions in the Ministry ( 'finance were suppressed by a decree of the 20th in: sr, nt: and four temporary directors had been notnirmile d, until the re-organization of that department. The office of Commissary-General of tild Navi gation and Provisioning of Paris had likew, ise been suppressed. A meeting of the creditors of the ex-KIN was to lee held this day. It is said that the Provisional Government; has de termined to postpone the elections for the N ational Assembly until the 15th of April. Among the candidates for Paris is the celebrated preacher L DIAIRE. The "clubs" have announced their inte •ntion of supporting as candidates for Paris the Mea 'then of the Provisional Government, a student from each of the great schools, viz., the Ecole Polytechttique, the Ecole de St. Cyr, the Ecole de Medicine. and the Ecole de Droit, such student to be select ed by the majority of his fellow students from the c andi dature, the remainder of the 34 candidates to be v rork men. M. MALGAIGNE, a late Deputy, has wino' tneed himself as a candidate, as have MM. CAUCMOIS, LIGMAIRE, and DE Rovieo. The latter is the son of the celebrated SAVARY. The conduct of the house of R OTHSCHILD th/011igh out the financial crisis has been exemplary. Th• Union says— " We are assured that M. de Rothschild went on Sun day to the Prefecture of Police, and that he said to M. Caussidiire, that far from desiring to leave Paris, as had been announced, and to suspend his payments, he meant to remain, to keep all his engagements with respoct to the loan, and to take the largest measures for strength ening credit. He added that his brothers of London and of Frankfort, who accompanied him, had come to Paris with the same intentions, and to concert with him ; that no mistake ought to exist with respect to the disasters which had befallen the money market of Paris; and that it was not the events of February which caused the em barrassments of certain firms, for that those embarrass ments had existed some time. M. Caussiditire thanked M. de Rothschild, and asked him if he would desire to have a guard for his hotel. M. do Rothschild is said to have replied—' Far from demanding a guard, I beg of you to do nothing; I only desire that it may be known. that having confidence in the Government, confidence ought to be placed in me.' " The Prince DX LA MosiLow.i. has addressed the following to the Provisional Government : " Gentlemen,—May all honour be rendered to you! You have, by your decree of this day, and by the so lemn reparation you have granted to the manes of my father, given a new pledge of the principles of justice with which you are animated. France appreciates and applauds your generous and elevated sentiments, yout patriotic efforts, and has full faith in you. The family of Marshel Ney comes to join the accents of its pro found gratitude to the expressions of the acknowledg. went of the public." The Lyons papers state that the manufacturers at Lyons have been obliged to comply with the de. viands of the workmen, and have dismissed all the foreign hands from their establishments. M. J. RoTuscuTLD had a long interview to-day with the Minister of _Finance; the measure relating to the transfer of the railroads to the Government was the subject discussed. The Bank of France will assist in the operation. It was reported that the elections of the Members of the National Assembly would be postponed until the 25th of April, and the meeting of the Assembly until the 10th of May. The money changers met on Tuesday, and de cided, in order to maintain the circulation of specie, that they should pay a premium of 2f. 50c. per ],ooof. cash, and change bill of the same amount at a maxi mum of sf. The Reforme announces that the 29th and 61st Regiments of the line arrived in Paris on Monday last. The Illoniteur de 1 'Amide announces the following movement of troops : " The 15th regiment of the line is ordered from Rueil and Montrouge to Metz; the 29th from St. Denis to Paris; the 30th from the forts of Nogent, &c., to Strasbourg; the 51st from Fontainebleau to Paris; the 16th, from Charenton to Besancon; the 3d regimen* of Cuirassiers from Chalons sur Marne to Meaux; the 7111 Cuirassiers from Meaux to Chalons sur Marne; the 11th Light Infantry from Metz to Vincennes; the 27th of the Line from Lanterburg to Phalsburg; the Ist Chasseurs, expected from Africa, to Tarascon; the 3th Chasseurs from Tarascon to Avignon; the 4th Messrs from Strasburg to Luneville; the 6th Squadron of the Artillery Train from Strasburg to Saverne; the let Re giment of Engineers from Metz to Arras; and the 8d Regiment of Engineers from Arras to Metz." The Bank of Lyons continues to discount at three per cent. BOURSE-PARIS, TITESDIT, MAACK 21. THREE O'CLOCK.-Without any great animation being manifested to-day, French Securities were steady.

A Quarterly General Court of the Proprietors of East India stock was held this day at their house in Leaden hall-street. The chair was taken at twelve o'clock by Henry St. George Tucker, Esq., Chairman .of the Director.. The minutes of the last Court having been read, and the usual routine business of the Quarterly Court hating been gone through, Mr. POYNDER brought forward a motion of which he had given notice, to the effect that th e l oca l government of Bengal exceeded their commission in continuing the contribution of thirty•five thousand rupees annually to support the temple of Juggernaut, and that the time was fully arrived when it became the imperative duty of the Court, to Christianity and to the country, to inte rpose and to declare that all such support of heathenism shall have immediate end. The Honourable Proprietor en forced the propositions of this resolution at considerable length. Mr. SULLIYAN seconded the motion. Mr. LEWIS opposed the motion, on the ground that the payment was one to which, however objectionable in other respects, the Government of Bengal was bound by the pledge which was given when they took posses sion of the territory, with tke lands and revenues of the temple. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to an Honourable Pro prietor, gave explanations of the manner in which this alleged obligation was contracted, in accordance with the argument of Mr. Lewis. After a prolonged discussion, Mr. POYNDIR replied ; and as he refused to abide by a show of h an d s , t h e Court divided, when the resolution was negatived by a majority of seventy to lour. THE LATE RAJA OF BATTARI. Mr. LEWIS then rose, according to notice, to bring forward a resolution to the effect that the Court should recommend that the title, territory, and property, to which the Raja was entitled under the treaty of the 55th of September, 1819, should be restored to his adopted son. After a brief discussion the motion was withdraws, but the subject was not finally dropped when we went to press;; and as Mr. G. Thompson has a notice on the paper relating to the occupation of Sinde, the Court will sit to a late hour. PosT-OFFICE.—The following notice was posted at the General Post otli..e this morning:—" On and after the 28th inst., the tee charged for the registration of letters will be reduced from one shilling to sixpence, which must be paid in money. The postage of registered letters must in all cases be paid in stamps. The public are earnestly recommended to register all letters con tainilag enclosures of any value." COLOSSEUAL—This exhibition will be closed after Friday, the 31st, when that beautiful picture of "London by night " will be finally removed, and replaced, in a short time, by a grand panorama► of Paris.
