But for the ferment caused by the pernicious declamations of such brawlers, London would at this moment be remarkable only for the uninterrupted preservation of its industrial happiness. But for these promoters of anarchy, the people would never, in their wildest imaginations, have projected an assault against a generous, democratic, and decidedly popular Govern ment. They could never, we maintain, have conceived such a suicidal course of proceeding but for the evil suggestions instilled into their hearts through the medium of an insidious language. Before too much has been accomplished in accord ance with these mad and ferocious recommendations, we would remind our fellow-citizens of the fact, that the very Parliament they are called upon to intimi date is the incarnation of themselves. Without speaking still more decisively, we are surely correct in terming such schemes at self-intimidation as ridiculous. The House of Commons is the representative, the organ, and the very em bodiment of the people, and yet it is this symbol of themselves they are required to awe by their projected demonstration. 'Were the Lower House in Westminster in any respect an aristocratic institution, we should speak otherwise. Were the floor of that legislative chamber in any respect the seed plot, as it were, of measures injurious to the community, we should mention it merely in terms of derision and abhorrence. Were the House of Peers an impassable obstruction in the way of the Liberal movement ; were the Cabinet merely a congregation of insolent statesmen or obsequious administrators ; were the SOVEREIGN a cherisher of the principles of Absolutism and a foe to the advancement of political reform we should be more clatnourous than the most turbulent, we should exceed the most obstinate in determination, and the most violent in audacity. But when we scrutinize the fabric which has risen up in this island, not like the architectural exhalation of Pandemonium, but like a majestic and human edi fice—when we scrutinise this fabric with the jealousy inspired by our democratic predilections, when we behold in the Mostaacet merely the type of our national greatness, in the aristocracy merely the token of our wealth and magnificence, and in the Commons merely the representatives of our in tellect, our energy, and our will,—when we see these three institutions co-operating with each other to modulate the tone of the Government to the key-note of the age, and to work out, by every possible means, the prosperity of the million, we perceive the necessity of evidencing our obedience to the law and of revealing our homage for the Constitution of Great Britain by our respectful attitude in the presence of an august Legislature. These are the considerations which assure us that, with Englishmen, LOYALTY is merely synonymous with PATRIOTISM. The Emperor of Russia has issued a manifesto. Unwarned by the portentous incidents of the last few weeks, untaught by the examples of his brother sovereigns, the Emperor of Russia has just issued a manifesto conceived in a spirit of conservative des potism, conveying the authoritative commands of an " Imperial Master," and hurling an audacious defiance at every attempted- liberal innovation. And this manifesto bears the date of Maroh, 1848 ! This arbi trary mandate of abiolutism actually bears the date of this year of reformation and liberalism one thousand eight hundred and forty-eight. And doing so, it occu pies a peculiarly isolated position—" none but itself can be its parallel." It stands out in oppesition to the numerous manifestoes which have recently been issued by nearly all the Sovereigns of Europe. It breathes no conciliatory spirit, it offers no advisable concession. The great movement which has so quietly and yet effectually shaken the arbitrary power of Kings, and exalted the rightful influence of the People, is spoken of in the following respectful terms :—" Insurrection and anarchy, the offspring of France, have soon crossed the German frontier, and have spread themselves in every direction with an audacity which has gained new force in proportion to the concessions of the Governments. This devastating plague has at last attacked our allies, the empire of Austria and the kingdom of Prussia, and to-day its blind fury menaces even our Russia, that Russia which GOD has confided to our care." Then follows an earnest declaration on the part of the EMPEROR to encounter his enemies from whatsoever side they may present themselves, and to defend the honour of the Russsian name and preserve the inviolability of the Russian territory. Evidently impressed with a full conviction of the " right divine" of kings, the AUTOCRAT of Russia concludes his arbitrary manifesto with the fallowing—we can hardly consider appropriate—quotation :—" GOD is on our side, understand this, ye peoples, and submit, for GOD is on our side." How far the Russians may coincide in the sentiments of their SOVEREIGN their future conduct alone can declare ; it may be they are not yet prepared for their enfranchisement--n o t suf ficiently free to be fit for freedom. But the simultaneous movements of other nations cannot be without effect, even amongst the subjects of the most despotic rule. If the examples of other Sovereigns have failed to enlighten NICHOLAS, the examples of other people cannot fail to enlighten the Russians. But it is not the welfare of Russia that is so much endangered by these despotic demonstrations on the part of Nictionas, as the welfare and very existence of Poland. The revolution in that kingdom has as yet made little progress—at least, little visible progress; but secretly and steadily it is progressing to maturity, At Warsaw, even now, there is no outward demon stration, but such an event is hourly anticipated, and the Government are taking every precaution to sup press, or, if possible, to prevent it. The newspapers are not suffered to publish any intelligence of the movements in Prussia and Austria, the authorities rightly divining what effect such intelli. gence must produce. This is only another demon. stration of a fact which receives almost daily illustration, namely, that the more arbitrary a Government, the more strenuously it endeavours to che c k t h e liberty of the press, and rice versa. But this is not the only precaution adopted by the Russian authorities of Warsaw. The Poles are ordered to deliver up their arms, all meetings among them are forbidden, and, as a climax to these tyrannical n i p a r h e t c a i u s t o i b o n l i s g , everyedto e a p r e r r y s o a n i walking lan i t n er t n he t NICHOLAS and his emissaries are mistaken. It is not thus in the present day that men are to be intimi dated and nations governed. Unless the insane and sanguinary spit it of DRma gogueisin acquires an unwholsome authority this day . in Lo n d on, we h ave no f ears f o r the subordination of the matroi,olis. Of themselves the men of Middlesex are not to be dreaded as enemies of constitutional tranyiillity.

PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. Among the officers elected for the National Guard is M. D'ALTON SIIEE, ex-Peer of France. It was rumoured in Paris on Saturday that Baron JAMES ROTIISCHILD had been offered the Ministry of Finance. The Monit eur publishes the followin t g he de i c ,r r o ee vi : s t " In th e name of the French people Tonal Governm en t decrees— " d i A v e r ti.nls.trlune instruction order h e t o development political o t pm o ent nec et,sa and r Republi c th ere shall be a series of professorships esta blished i n the C(llege of France under the following denomi nat i ons : y ad . r m or in t h e is tra" 1.

The professorship of the law of na ture and nations, of political economy, and of com parative legislation, are suppressed, inasmuch as their object is otherwise provided for. " Article 111. The professorship of the Turkish language is suppressed, inasmuch as since its institu tion a similar object has been attained by a professor ship of the Turkish language established in the special school for the Eastern languages. "Article IV.—The professorship of Latin poetry is united with the professorship of Latin oratory, which, by analogy with the Greek professorship, assumes the name of the Latin language and literature. " Article V.—The professorship of mechanics, which was suppressed by a decree of the bear 1772, is re-established. "Article Vl.—The pupils intended to supply the different branches of the administrative service, con• formably to the decree of the Bth of March, 1848, shall be obliged to follow the course of instruction in the College of France. "Article Vll.—They shall retain the name of pupils of the College of France. " Article VIII.—The Provisional Minister of Pub lic Instruction and Religious Worship is charged with the execution of the present decree. " Done at a Council of the Government, held at Paris, April the 7th, 1848, and signed by the Mem bers of the Provisional Government." The Constdutionnel states that, according to its latest accounts from Savoy, the column of Savoyards which invaded that country from France had been beaten and driven back on the French territory. The German Republicans who left Paris in a body, some days since, have determined to remain at Stras burgh until the result of the deliberations of the Assembly at Baden shall be known. The Toulennais, of the 4th instant, contains the following letter from the frontiers of Morocco:— " The occupation of the Zaffarine Islands by the Spaniard, as it was easy to foresee, was not favour ably viewed by the Moors, who, not being able to attack the garrison of those islands, assail the press dios, the g ar ri sons o f w hi c h a r e con stantly on the qui vire. The Kabyles of the Riff having approached Melilla with three pieces of artillery, all the troops that preside marched out on the 16th ult., and, sup ported by the schooner Bidassoa and the steamer Vul cano, which had postel themselves close to the shore, attacked the Kabyles and destroyed their artillery after an obstinate resistance. On that day the natives showed themselves in considerable numbers, and the Spaniards, who have surprised the Kabyles, were surrounded and obliged to retreat before those masses. The convicts, 100 in number, who followed the co lumn, behaved very well. After the Spanish troops had withdrawn the Kabyles kindled large fires on the neighbouring he'ghts, whi , th were occupied at night by at least 30,000 men. The Spanish troops em ployed in the defence of the presidios never fought a sharper engagement than that of the 16th, and there is every reason to suppose that Spain will have a fierce enemy in the population of the Riff, whose irritation has been roused to the highest degree by the occu pation of the Zaffarinas. Tranquillity prevails along the French frontier." " A great movement of troops," says the Constitu- Hormel, "is taking place along the frontier. Yester day, the 6th, the 4th battalion of Chasseurs, which held the garrison at Grenoble, was to leave for Fort Barraux and Chapareillan. The last village is close to the Sardinian frontier. Two battalions of the 13th Regiment of the Line were ordered to be stationed betwee❑ Grenoble and Voiron. Dauphini, lately so tranquil, is beginning to assume a warlike aspect." Disturbances had occurred at Besancon, at St. Omer, and at Dunkirk, but they had been put down. It is said that M. GARNIER PAGES has proposed a plan, which has met with the approval of the Provi sional Government, for the purchase of all the rail ways in France. The National has the following on Spanish affairs : " A correspondence has been communicated to us this evening, which announces that in the private and confidenti II councils held at Madrid, Christina and Narvaea have resolved to put their trust in the Carlists, and to offer them their hands. The essential basis of this alliance is to be the dissolution of the marriage of the Queen, who will then be married to the Count de Montemolin, who will be proclaimed King by right and by fact. In return, the son of Don Carlos is to insure to the throne of Isabella the assistance of his partizans against all revolutionary attempts. Nevertheless, the project is so foolish in the present state of Spain, that we give it with every reserve." The 211oniteur publishes a decree in which the Provisional Government reprobates the assaults which have been committed on foreign workmen, and places them under the safeguard of the French workmen. There was considerable discussion yesterday, among the frequenters of the Passage de l'Opera, on the plan which it is reported the Provisional Government in tend to adopt with regard to the Bank of France. According to this plan, all the departmental banks would be done away with, only one great establish ment being permitted to exist in the kingdom, under the name of the Banque Nationale. The share holders of the banks of France, and of those of Havre, Bordeaux, Marseilles, Lisle, &c., are to be reimbursed in bank notes. In addition, the Banque Nationale is, it is said, to be charged with the purchase of all the railways, and probably at a later period, of all concessions of mines, canals, &c., still by means of new issues of bank notes. It is supposed that not less than two mil liards of notes would be required to buy out the present shareholders, and to continue the railway works that have been commenced. Railway shares are, it is said, to :be expropriated after the quota lions of February 23, for the lines on which the capital has not yet been paid up, and on ap praisement for the lines already liberated, and at work. The whole amount of notes then in circula tion would be two milliards and a half, but there would not be any other notes throughout France. The notes thus issued would be guaranteed in the first place by tho state domains, and next, by the receipts, property, and stock of every kind of the railways. The holders of railway shares seemed not averse to this plan, as they would prefer being paid in bank notes to being given five per cent. stock at par, that fecurity losing at present nearly 60 per cent.

All persons accused or con victed of political crimes and contraventions of the game-laws shall at once be liberated. The new King of BAVARIA has dismissed all the old servants of his father, whose political and social opinions are not likely to keep pace with the times. The Lieutenant- Generals YSENBERG and PAPPENIIEIM are among the number. The Bavarian army, hitherto amounting to 40,000 is about to be raised to the number ot . 6000. me' The n whole of the frontier district is 0 being occupied by troops to oppose all propagandistic invasions from France or Switzerland. Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Baden, and Ilesse, are busy garrison ing and victualling the fortified places along the border. 6,000 Bavarian troops are collected at Memingen, and as many more at Ulm. Wurtem berg has about 4,000 men between Rottweil and Babingen. The army of Baden has been raised to 20,000 men, 5,000 of whom are quartered in Rastadt. The Allgemeine Preussische Zeitnng of the 7th Publishes the Ministerial report on the subject of the abolition of the duty on meat and bread. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. 'We have received the Hamburgh papers of Friday. The Danish Minister at Hamburgh has been dis missed, in consequence, as is alleged, of having re fused his protection and assistance to the many Danish officers and subjects who had taken refuge in that city when driven by recent events from the duchy of Holstein. It appears that the King of DENMARK left Copen hagen on the sth of April to put himself at the head of his army, which already amounts to 18,000 men. MS MAJESTY is expected to have landed this day at Fredericia, the most southern port in Jutland, and the nearest to Colding, where the Danish army is concentrated, which town, being on the very border of Schleswig, is forty-fire miles due north of Flensburg. There appears to be the greatest enthusiasm on both sides. The volunteers for the Danish army are said to arrive in shoals ; they seem determined to make a vigorous struggle. The Danish fleet is being prepared with all possible dispatch, and the Government has announced its intention of making reprisals upon German and Prus sian vessels, and to blockade Stettin, Dantzic, Memel, and other ports. They have seven ships already equipped. The Prussian division of 5,000 men has passed through Hamburgh into Holstein. The Hanoverians are at Stade, on the southern bank of the Elbe, and will immediately cross that river to Gluckstadt, marching thence upon Itzchoe, en route to Rendsburg. A discount bank has been commenced at Ham burgh. representatives of the people, mixed together, and the members of the Provisional Govern ment, having at their head Ittmo ERO SETTIMO, their energetic President, tool: their seats iH the centre ; the civil and mili:ary lunctiunaries, the diplomatic and consular agents, and a considerable number of ladies placed themselves on the right and left, and the people occupied the aisles. After mass, a "Veni Creator " was sung, and the " Salut" cele brated, amidst the ringing of bells, and the reports of artillery, fired from the forts of Castellamore and Garitta, and the ships of war. When the religious ceremony was over, the Pre sident ascended a tribune erected in the centre of the church, and read the opening speech, of which the following is an abstract : after having summed up the principal events of the late insurrection, the Presi lent said— (From the Harnburgh Borsenkalle of April 6.) " The General Committee will now proceed to ex plain to the Parliament the negotiations entered into with the Neapolitan Government relative to the fun damental laws of the kingdom. Pending the struggle at Palermo, the Committee deemed it expedient to apply to the illustrious English diplomatist who then at Rome, engaged in the pacification of It:dv. The first communication of the Committee had K.)r its object to explain to him the situation of Palermo, and to demand from the British Ambassador, in the event of an arrangement, to guarantee by his pre• sence all the liberties which Sicily could obtain in the negotiation. The Committee had acted timely, for the Neapolitan Government, alarmed at the events in Sicily, shortly afterwards solicited the mediation of Lord Minto, who had already left Rome for Naples." The PRESIDENT, after describing the preliminaries of the mgotiation, thus continued : " As the decrees issued by the King on the 6th did not give Sicily all the guarantees it had a right to expect, the Committee declared them null and voi d. Thus ended the negotiations, and the illustrious per sonage who had conducted them, and had already re paired to Palermo, made known to the General Com mittee, in the most explicit terms, that the basis of all further negotiation should be, on the one hand, the unity of the Crown, and, on the other, all the guarantees calculated to insure the constitution and independence of Sicily. After long discussions in the Committee these two conditions were formally laid down." These articles our readers may recollect had been rejected by the King of NAPLES. "The negotiation," continued the President, "ap pears to be interrupted, for yesterday the General Committee received a communication from Lord Minto, together with a Protest of the King of Naples against every act which took place in Sicily, and was not entirely conformable to the decree of the 6th of March, the fundamental statute and the Constitution sworn to by the King. The committee responds to that protest by the convocation of the Sicilian Par liament. Before its dissolution the committee will accomplish a last act of the executive power, which the constitution of 1812 vests in the State, but which is in nowise represented here by any of the successors of King Ferdinand, the third of that name in Sicily, at the period when the Parliament ce , ised to exist in 1814. The committee, heedless of the protest signed by King - Ferdinand 11. at Naples on the 22(1 inst., and regarding it as con trary to the 17th paragraph of the chapter of the con stitution relative to the succession to the throne, de clarer the general Parliament of Sicily to he legally opened at Palermo, according to the impreseriptible rights of the country, and invites you, gentlemen, peers, and representatives of the Commons, to - proceed to your ordinary places of meeting, and to vote with . all possible promptitude a law on the exercise of the executive piwer. adapted to circumstances. In this manner the legiAatit , e and executive power, duly insti tuted may lat'our together to realise the reforms necessary in the constitution and the laws. The country shall be ruled by a solid, simple, and strong Government, which shall enforce respect to the rights of the island. Sicily, after the violent commotion which always follows a revolution, will, by peace and liberty, promote civilization, public morality, and ma terial prosperity. May the Almighty ble-s and in spire the votes of the Parliament, and direct them towards that holy end ! May He cast a favourable glance on our island, and assign it a share in the great destinies of the Italian people, flee, independent, and united !" RENDSBURG, APRIL 5. The Island of Alsen continues in possession of about-800 Danes. Several of the inhabitants have been apprehended and imprisoned by the Danish authorities of the island, and it is supposed they will be detained in the Castle of Sonderburg. All com munication between the island and continent is com pletely intercepted. The Danish bands, headed by LAURITI SXAW, are committing much devastation in the district around Gravensteen (equidistant from the towns of Flens burg and Apenrade, in Schleswig, and opposite the Isle of Alsen). A letter from Rendsburg of the 4th of April, in the Hamburgischen Blotter, announces the arrival of the Prussian General Bozos in that town. General BoNIN is the Commander of the Prussian army in Schleswig. He was accompanied by Prince WAL DEMAR of Augustenburg, whom some of the Ham burgh papers have mistaken for the Prince WALDE MAR of Prussia. The first division of the regiments of Prussian Guards, destined for Holstein, arrived in Hamburgh on the afternoon of the 4th, and proceeded at once to Altona. ROME. The POPE has ordered the expulsion of the Jesuit from Rome. CHARTIST DEMONSTRATION. (THIS DAY.) TEN O'CLOCK, A.M. GOVERNMENT OFFICES, &c. (FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) Every precaution has been made at the various public offices to meet any disorder that may arise out of the proceedings of this day. Somerset-house has been packed with the household troops ; the Ad miralty is occupied with a detachment of the Sixteenth and the Sappers and Miners ; while the Horse Guards and the Home-office are taken possession of by ether regiments of the line. The minor offices, as the Board of Control, Stc., are also defended by armed detachments, while other measures—the closing up of the gates, barricading the windows, and strengthen ing the external defences, have been extensively adopted. The line of road from the Strand to the new Houses of Parliament has all the appearance of a thoroughfare in a besieged capital; shops are closed up, the windows and doors of the mansions of the nobility, as the residence of the Duke of Northumberland, at Charing-cross, Montague-house, and the residences of Sir Robert Peel and other no blemen and Commoners in Whitehall-gardens, are fastened up. Notices from the Police Commissioners, that no carts, vans, or omnibuses are to be allowed upon the road from Abingdon-street to Cockspur street after eleven o'clock, and that no delay is to be permitted in the other streets, agitate the pub lic, and the appearance of patrols of mounted police, and of single files of soldiers in the usually quiet streets, is ominous and alarming. At an early hour this morning above 2,000 of the Guards were sent to the Common, and at a later hour another large detachment of the lath Regiment were ordered to follow. The citizens who have during the last few days been sworn in at the different police. offices parade the streets in numbers, with their distinctive badges upon their arms. These keep up a continued correspondence with the officers of Scotland-yard, so that they are ready at any time to concentrate their strength where required. as the London and North-Western. The outh.. Eastern. London and brighton, Eastern Counties, and South-Western also contributed their quota—indeed there is not a single town of any importance through out the country that has not sent up a body of per sons, more or less numerous, to demand from the Le gislature the enactment of the People's Charter. During the night the following notice was exten sively circulated and placarded throughout the metropolis :—" Men of London,—A great revolu tion must be accomplished to-day Old principles of legislation are out of date; our laws and institu tions are behind the spirit of the age ; they meet not the exigencies of the civilization and enlightenment of our time. You men of London possess an im mense power, which, when concentrated and directed in connexion with that of your brethren throughout the empire, could sweep the huge fabric of tyranny, hypocrisy, and fraud to utter annihilation, and thus secure to yourselves and posterity those blessings which truth and justice can alone confer. Survey the political horizon of Europe. It now pre sents one dread upheaving of society, one grand scene of nature's supremacy against the despotism of man. Everywhere the people are arousing themselves; despots are either conceding their demands or quailing before their omnipotence. Nations whose wretched destinies monster injustice had sealed for their blood, are now looking up with hope, and struggling fur liberty and nationality. May God strengthen their holy as piration, and endow them with power for their consummation. In this bright era of the world's progress how far are ye prepared to go? In this epoch of popular victory what achievement do you seek to accomplish ? We leave the recompense to your good sense and discretion, but we tell you frankly that the liberty-seeking German, the emancipated Italian, the struggling Pole, and the proud French Republican, will regard you with an eye of disdain if your aim be not to demo lish oligarchic usurpation, and to substitute for it the legitimate power of the whole people. 44 GOD SAVE THE PEOPLE." TRAFALGAR-SQUARE, 11 o'CLocK. The area surrounding the fountains is occupied by a detachment of police, amounting to about two hundred men. These are to remain here until a necessity shall arise for their removal to quell any disturbances in the vicinity. The special con stables, in the meantime, perform the duties of the police, by keeping idlers upon the move, and preventing the gathering of knots of persons upon the streets and pavements. WATERLOO-PLACE. The entrances to St. James's.paFk , are uarded . by a doiible file of Guards and the' ardens of the Park, the latter acting as gate-keepers, under the orders of the military, a corporal or sergeant being stationed as commandant at each gate. Ingress and egress is immediately allowed to a 1 persons exhibiting the pass" granted by the authorities of Scotland-yard. Patrols of the household troops march up and down the Mall, and officers, in groups of twos, hold con stant communication with the several posts. MS GRACE THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON. At a quarter past ten o'clock, the Commander-in• Chief, attended by his groom, rode through the Park to the War-office. His Grace was dressed in the usual blue frock -coat, white waistcoat, and black military trousers. The Noble Duke seemed much better in health and spirits than for some time past he has appeared, and the rapidity with which he galloped down the ride, betokened the anxiety which he felt in the arrangements of the day. BUCKINGHAM PALACE AND APSLEY GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. VIENNA. We have received intelligence from Vienna to the 2d April. It informs us that a deputation, headed by Professor "YE, waited that evening on the Minister, VON PILLERSOORF, to express the general dissatisfac tion of the people with the new law relative to the press, and to request him to reconsider its most ex ceptionable provisions. The Minister excused the imperfection of the law on the ground of haste, and promised to refer it to a committee, with a view to modification. PRUSSIA. The Cologne Gazette, of the Bth, has a letter from Berlin of the sth inst., in which it is asserted that a powerful and favourable effect had been produced on the public opinion by the character and behaviour of the new Ministry and Diet, and by the substantially liberal proclamations of the regenerated Government. Various German deputations from the Grand Duchy of Posen have arrived at Berlin, and formed them selves into a committee for the purpose of acting more effectively. A Mr. MICLESKI has been ap pointed Chief President of the Duchy, and will be gaz e tted in a few days. The Polish landlords of th e province of Prussia Proper have called upon the people to meet at Culrn, where they wish them to adopt a resolution concerning the regeneration of the Polish empire with the territories it possessed in 1772. Letters from Cearmikaw %Virsitz, Chodgiesen, and Gnesen are likewise filled with complaints about POLAND. A letter from Frankfort, dated April 4th, says : " Glorious news has just arrived here from Russia, NICHOLAS has consented to re-establish the nationality of ill-fated Poland, and to place upon the throne of the new kingdom Duke LEICUTURTEN. At last Po land will be free! France holds the destinies of Europe in her hands. An awful responsibility will rest on her, should she prove recreant to her princi ples. But Ido not fear any such result. All Europe I look on as good as free. The first act of Germany, under the new constitution, will be to disband her overgrown army. p osEN .—The Commander of the archduchy and town of Posen, General COLOMB, has, according to a document published in the Allgenzeine Preussische Zeilung, declared that fortress to be in a state of siege. ITALY. LOMBARDY. Intelligence from Milan of the Ist inst. has been received. The Provisional Government has published an official contradiction of the report that the English Minister at Turin had protested against the entrance of Sardinian troops into Lombardy. The Risorgimento of the 3d instant announces that the Austrians had evacuated the Castle of Piacenza, carrying with them, by agreement, six pieces •f artillery. The people found in the castle 48 guns, 200 shells, 2,000 cannon balls, 547 grenades, 500 muskets, a large quantity of gunpowder, and 100,000 ball cartridge,. The Municipal Council of Piacenza had resolved to offer six pieces of artillery to Plus IX., and two others to the city of Milan. It is probable that Marshal RADETSKI will occupy Verona, Mantua, and the line of the Adige. Two divisions of Neapolitan troops of 10,000 men, are advancing towards Lombardy ; one will advance by way of Romagna, the other will be conveyed by steamers to Leghorn. _ . ....____ Venice and_ the Italian Tyrol have sent in their adhesion to the Provisional Government of Milan. NAPLES AND SICILY. The Ministerial crisis still continued at Naples on the 30th ult. Prince PIGNATELLI DI STRONGOLI, Commander of the National Guard, having been charged with the construction of a new Cabinet, had at first composed it of heterogeneous elements. The Marquis DRAGONNETTI apprised the KING of this circumstance, and, having had an interview with Prince PIGNATELLI, prevailed upon him to admit into the Ministry General GUGLIELMO PEPE, who had just returned from exile, GIovANNI ANDREA Romeo, and the Councillor of State FRANCESCO GAMBOA. His MAJESTY, however, would not acquiesce in this combination, and, on the morning of the 30th, ho sent the Minister of the Interior to General PEPE, to request his attendance, in order to form a coalition Ministry. The result of their interview was not yet known, and the people anxiously awaited the return of the General from the Royal residence. The following was the programme of the new Ministry :-1. Full power for the Chamber of Deputies to revise the constitution on a more liberal basis, and, consequently, the suspension of the ap pointment of peers, it being the intention of the Cabinet to replace the Chamber of Peers by a Senate e l ec t e d lik e th a t of Belgium ; 2 . A new elec toral la w ; 3 . Th e di s patch of commissaries to the provi nces , w i th ful l powe rs to remodel the provin cial and mun i c i pal a d m i n istrations ; 4. The sending of thre e pl en i potent i ar i es to the Italian Governments belon g i ng to the Italian League ; 5. The prompt departure o f a b o d y o f troops for Lombardy ; 6. The organization of the civil, military, and judiciary departments. Letters of the 31st state that the Ministry has been reformed with Prince CARINTI, as President and General PEPE as Minister at War. The Sicilian Parliament was opened at Palermo on the 2ith ult. with extraordinary pomp in the Church of St. Dominic. At 11 o'clock A.m. the Senate of Palermo, the Supreme Court of Justice, the high functionaries of the State, all the superior officers of the land and sea forces and of the National and Mu. nicipal Guards, the archbishops, bishops, abbots, and clergymen present in Palermo, marched in procession to the church. '.lyre the Parliament, the peers Fwd WESTMINSTER BRIDGE. This bridge is placarded with notices, calling upon the public not to loiter, but to pass on at once, as the crowding of such a thoroughfare would be at tended with danger. The authorities have made arrangements for taking possession of this part should it be necessary to do so. (FROM ANOTHER REPORTER.) The trains which arrived at the Euston-square station of the London and North-Western Railway brought an immense quantity of persons from Man chester, Birmingham, Rochdale, Liverpool, and other parts of Lancashire, anxious to be present during the proceedings of the day. Some from as far even as Edinburgh and Glasgow were travellers by this train. Many of them were third-class passergers, who amused themselves during a great part of the journey by singing, with more strength than harmony— " Sons of Freedom ! break your sambers ; The day of glory 'a drawing nigh ; Against us tyranny's red numbers Rear their bloody banner high. To arms, brave citizens ! Array each gallant band ! March on ! march on ! your tyrants' blood Shall drench the thirsty land. We'll march We'll march 1 Our tyrants' blood Shall drench the thirsty land." The persons thus delegated to attend the great metro politan demonstration brought with them large rolls of signatures, amounting; to many hundreds in num bar, to be appended to the monster petition, to be presented this evening to the House of Commons, which is now several miles in length. The Great Western Rail Way brought up a consi derable quantity of persons, but by no means so many HOUSE. The Palace does not appear to be guarded by any extra strength, but a strong force is ready to march from the drill-ground of the Wellington Barracks at any moment. The private servants of the officers are armed as well as the regular soldiery. Apsley House is barricaded, and the bullet-proof shutters are drawn over the windows. NEW' PALACE-YARD, &c. A strong foice of mounted police are stationed in New Palace-yard, supported by a large division cf the B's. Great Greorge-street is crowded with de tachments of the G's, C's, and E's, while a strong body of " specials," under the leading of Mr. Greene, M.P., parade up and down the thorougefare. Mr. Webster, and the other Parliamentary agents who have their offices here, hold subordinate commands. SCOTLAND-YARD. Nothing stirs here yet. A rumour is abroad that Feargus O'Connor, M.P., Mr. M‘Grath, Chairman of the Convention, and Mr. Cuffay, delegate from London, are to be arrested. It requires confirmation. THE STREETS GENERALLY. The streets begin to teem with an eager crowd. The prevailing feeling seems to be a sort of vague curiosity. The sub•processions to the Common are expected to pass every minute, and masses of idlers are waiting to see them. Military stores are con veyed in cabs to different parts of the metropolis. PREPARATIONS IN THE CITY. _ HALF -FAST ELEVEN. The Temple gates were closed, and no persons per. mitted to pass through except on business. A great number of the members of the Inn were sworn in during the morning. Notices were issued this morning by the authorities of the different wards of the City for the special constables to attend to be sworn in, and a great number of staves were taken to the place of rendezvous. The crowd around the Bank and in the streets is very great, but evidently only from curiosity, despite the notice of "No obstructions allowed in the public streets." The Bank presents a very strange appearance. The sand- bags are placed along the parapats, and at the corner, on the r, , of, are ball-proof barricades, and is in short completely fortified. The shops are partially closed throughout the City, but neither amongst the " branch societies" or the assembled crowds in the City has there appeared the slightest ebullition of feeling, but anxiety is plainly depicted on the counte nances of many. On the other hand men are with their wives and daughters taking a survey of the Go vernment precautionary preparations with intense curiosity. SPECIAL CONSTABLES. BO w-ISTREEY, Tins DAY. The swearing-in of special const a bl es was continued this morn i ng . Th e court and the passages to it were, if possible, more crowded than during the past week. Ingress and egress were almost impracticable, and even the officers of the court could with difficulty move from one part of the court to another for the transaction of busi ness. An exceedingly anxious and somewhat excited feeling prevailed, much more than we have noticed on any former occasion. There is no doubt the sp ec i a l cons t a bles, if called upon, will do their duty rigo rously and valiantly. MEETING OF THE CONVENTION THIS MORNING. The delegates assembled this morning shortly after nine o'clock, at the Hall in John-street. The public were not admitted into the hall, and the only persons present besides the delegates were the reporters for the different morning and evening journals, the Government short-hand writers (one of whom was Mr. Frederick Bond Hughes, who figured in the State trials in Ireland), and a few ladies in the gallery. In the temporary absence of Mr NPGrath, Mr. G. W. M. Reynolds was voted to the chair. The :nu-ter-roll having been read over by thp secretary (Mr. Doyle), and roplied to, with two or three exceptions, The SECRETARY stated that he had this meri3lrtl received a communication from the Commissioners 0 Police, at Scotland-yard, forbidding the procession but stating that the mor.ster petition would, of course, be allowed to be taken to the I - louse of Commons. Mr. Feargus O'Connor, accompanied by Mr. M'Grath, here entered the hall, and Mr. M'Grath took the chair, which was vacated byMr.Reynolds . Mr. \\*En announced his intention to take part in the procession, and he hoped the delegation were determined to persist in carrying the petition to the House of Commons. Indeed he believed if they had the courage to do so, the people who joined in the procession would support them through every emer gency in spite of any opposition the Governmen t might offer.—(Cheers.) Mr. F. O ' CONNOR, who appeared to be deeply sensible of the dangerous and respensible nature of the position he had taken up, then rose and Gentlemen, it has been publicly stated, at least I have heard so, that Feargus O'Connor had fled -- (Hear, hear, and laughter)—but, gentlemen, had I done so, or been inclined to do so, I had a very go d excuse indeed, for I have been recommended by 11 medical authority to apply a blister to my chest.--- (Loud cheers.) That remedy, however, did not appear to me to be absolutely necessary, and, therefore, I abandoned the plaster to enable tri• to be with you to-day.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I feel that I have said nothing since I have taken Par in this movement which I ought to regret. 'Mil' however, was not a time for speaking, but for reso lute action, and I , now wish to declare that I am pre pared to state I am ready to take every responsibility which my conduct may ultimately give rise (Cheers.) If I had taken advantage of any false lite' ) the delegation might have fallen, and absented mysel f to-day, the whole of my life—the whole of my coo• duct—would be stamped with ignominy; and I readily admit that such a course would have been po' thing more than duplicity and deception.—(Cheers) I have during the last week devoted many thought' ful and •sleepless nights to the probable collo' quences of this great movement, and I assure you that the "old guards," as we call ourselves, who bad been longest engaged in the Chartist movement, 1014 with intense anxiety to the results of this dap' (Hear, hear.) I was astonished to hear one of the delegates declare that it was in the power of this Con' vention to induce all men to conform to our vie° and intentions.—(Hear, hear.) It is impossible that everybody can be persuaded to side with us, and I would advise this Convention and the peopl e out ef doors to abstain from corning into collision with the c(nnstituted authorities.--(Cheers.) In saying th ee much I am looking to the families and th e interests that may be sacrificed by the folly of e t ' tempting:to resist the authorities.—(Hear, hear.) 11 1 the Meetin g is I, )rbidden, I hav e t o s t a t e t h a t I will take my stand inthe House of Commons against such a proCeed.ing, and will moreover move the impeach' ment :of Ministers for a violation of the Constitution; but I . hopo the delegates will not attempt to urge th e people to resistance, but advise them to be quiet.' (Cheers 4 In the event of the Common being already occupied by the authorities, it is my intentie e to advise the people to peaceably abandou the P fe ; cession, and will un d er t a k e to go to the House Commons to present • the petition, and return to oil" dress • the p eo pl e upon t h e manner i n which it 5 011 have been received.--(Cheers.) 'The Government if now weak, and can only strengthen itself by fo ll f and weakness, such as coming into collision with th e troops and giving them an opportunity to fire nl° the people.----(Cheers.) Do not fancy that I O . you .this, advice from any want of courage, fer on similar occas i ons to the present I have bad pistols placed at my breast by my opponents, and r' I never shrank back from the danger. I have el and marks of b ayonet wounds which I have rece i f e while struggling for the people, and on one occasion' at Manchester, after a disturbance, there were no less than 93 warrants brought against me at the instanc e of parties who had been injured by me in the exercise of the conflict. On the same occasion I We e carried away by the mob in a state of insensibility? bleeding from my wounds, and lam equally de' termined to exercise my courage to-day, not w itlistand' ing the threats that have been held out against Of life.—(Cheers.) If I were as k ed at this moment, f would stand upon this spot before a fire of musketrie I swear, before my God, that I would rather suffe t death than injure the cause. (Loud cheers.) Indeed, I have received information, that if I appear in the procession to-day lamto be shot with five other delegates. On leaving the meeting on Saturday, I was accosted bi a policeman whom I some years ago got admitted into the force, who said, " For God Almighty's sak e ' Mr. O'Connor, have nothing to do with the procession on Monday, because you are sure to be shot, as si lt° as you are a hying man. You may rely upon th is information, for these are the orders."—(Sensatioo-) Since then I have received many letters warning n t° of my danger, one of which runs thus R es p e cted Sir,—l can inform you that there will be an attemp t on your life should you make your appearance on Monday. Take a friend's warning —for God's sake' do,—Your true friend, A CHARTIST.—P.S. Thoug li a female, I glory in the name."—(Cheers.) Let ne' then, endeavour to preserve order, and persuade the people to keep the peace.—(Cheers.) Mr. WiLatNsos said—Perhaps Mr. O'Connor is not acquainted with the result of the Executive Coln' mittee meeting yesterday. They came to a resole' tion that the procession should go to Kennington' common, but if the military had possession of it, the/ would merely go round the common, and return bac k again, without attempting any collision with the wil l ' tary. After that the procession would take a certain route, but would not attempt to go down t o th• House of Commons.—(Hear, hear.) The only qua' tion, then, is where we shall stop. Some say Char' ing-cross, others to proceed so far till they were stopped by the police or military. In that case th e delegates will merely go themselves with the pet s ' tion to the House. My opinion is that we should not cross the water, for when once the Gosernmen S get us on the other side of the Thames they W ill place cannon on the bridges, and will not suffer us to return.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Cuff-LT—The time is now come for work ; everything has b e en arranged and fully provided for the Executive Committee. It is useless, there' fore, debuting the matter again.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. O'Corma said, if the meeting were allowei to take place they would form a procession, but they were interfered with perhaps they would alloct him to take the petition to the House.—(No, He did not, however, apprehend that any cannon would be placed on the bridges to keep the people . out of Lo n d on, and he still believed Government ba d no intention of resorting to force. A VOICE —It would be madness. They dare pot do it. Mr. O ' CONNOR said it might be so, but he exhorted them, in the name of the Charter, in the name ° I their wives and families, in the name of justice i n tbo name of Heaven, not to take any rash step te. irritat e the authorities.—(Cheers.) Mr. ItErNoLns asked if the meeting were, not s l ' lowed to take place on Kennington -common, would it lead to disastrous consequence., and endupger the lives of the p. ople ? Mr. O'CoNNOR said, if any were ofiere ll to the authorities, it would lead to a collision, with the
