ease of extreme necessity, and the Corporation of London had, at the time of the repeal of the ten per cent. tax in 1816, strongly marked the abhorrence in which the heinous tax was held, by a do p tin g the following resolu tion, which was agreed to on the 23d of March, 1816 : —" That in the opinion of this Court it is highly ex pecTsent that all the vouchers, documents, papers, and records which have been obtained by the Income-tax Commissioners should be burnt and destroyed, as con taining an exposure of the private concerns of almost every person in the kingdom, and that it is the sincere with of this Court that an Act of the Legislature should pass for the purpose."—(Loud cheers.) He was told that in pursuance of that resolution an Act was passed. Here then was an attempt to perpetuate the most atrocious system of taxation, the most intolerable and obno xious that ever was imposed. He re joiced in the opposition which was given to the measure, especially as the Ministers who pro posed that measure were advocates of those which he uniformly supported, for it would make them look to the consequences of persevering, and compel them to avoid the dangerous speculation of plundering the public.—(Laughter, and cheers.) The Ministers, too, to whom he alluded would, he was convinced, listen to the voice of the people, and would be the first to give expression to popular opinion.—(Cheers.) Mr. Wire, after deprecating the extravagant national expenditure, as regarded our naval and military establishments, con demned the expensive commissions, which increased their powers by increasing the -patronage of Ministers, and tended to corrupt, and enslave, and impoverish the people. He then sat down amidst loud cheering. The resolutions were then unanimously agreed to, amidst acclamations and clapping of hands, and a peti tion was drawn up framed upon the resolutions, and immediately sent down to the House of Commons to be presented that night. A vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor was then passed, amidst loud cheers, anti his Lordship having expressed great pleasure at witnessing su ch an unanimity upon such a subjec t s, the Court adjourned.

By J. Marvel cipation. Then the brass pot of the revolt was broken, and the Genius of the Revolution rose from it like a colossus, and overshadowed the empire of France. Then Monarchy was doomed, and the interests of the Orleans dynasty blown like chaff before the breath:of an outraged nation. During the morning of that day a procession had strayed through the principal thoroughfares of the capital—tbe standard of that procession being the helmet of an officer of cuirassiers, who had bE en destroyed in the first disturbances, that helmet being borne as a glittering, but ominous trophy, on the end of a pole. During the same evening and night, another pro cession arrived slowly through the darkened streets —a procession more terrible, and more significant. It was formed by a vast multitude, headed by four men bearing lighted flambeaux :—the multi tude sang together in a low voice and with a sullen intonation a song famous in French history—it was the death-song of the Girondins, Mourir pour la Pattie . I —through the deep tones of that chorus were audible the trampling of many thousand footsteps, and the rolling of wheels, the wheels of a tumbril carrying the dead bodies of the four men killed before the Hotel des Affaires Etrangeres. It was a memorable procession—the funeral procession of sovereignty ! It paused before the office of the National: and then, the sullen song of the Girondins rose into shrieks for Vengeance, and the procession proceeded with the exultant and triumphal chorus of the Marseillaise. Since that solemn demonstration of the popular rage and determination many surprising events have occurred. Tale of the Influenza. By Mrs. !Frank Eliot. Christmas Festivities at Rome.

A Companion Volume to ____- The Palais Royale was attacked and captured by the populace after a carnage of some 500 citizens. A guard-house in the Champs Elysees was assaulted ; contrary to the recommendation of their commander the soldiers in garrison fired upon their assailants ; the guard-house was quickly in the hands of the mob and every man in it was butchered. Inspirited by their successes elsewhere the Pari sians marched upon the Royal Palace of the Tuileries ; the chateau was speedily in their possession, and gutted from the roof to the basement. As a splendid trophy of the national conquest the throne was carried through the metropolis by an enormous rabble, shouting at the utmost pitch of their voices the glorious stanzas of the Marseillaise. The French monarchy was not only doomed ; it was annihilated. THE WEATIIER.—Scrx OFFICE, FEB. 26. IIiERMOMETZI4 Lowest, 45 ; Highest, 46 ; Noon, 45. BAnomwrisn, 28 B.—WIND S.S.W. ; heavy rain.

LOUIS PHILIPPE is described as having abdicated ; if the truth is to be spoken be has been dethroned. He who was recently the Majesty of France—now once more Lours PHILIPPE, Duc d' ORLEANS—abdicated in favour of his grandson the young Comte DE PARIS. At first the acceptance of the child monarch was seriously debated in the Chambers, as the rule of NAPOLEON 11. had been discussed in 1815: it was only a question at the outset whether he should be Sovereign under the Regency of the Duc DE NEMoURS or the Duchesse D'OaLBANs. Both regencies were ultimately rejected, and a Provisional Government installed in the Hotel de Ville, the- members of this Provisional Government being-p- M. LAMARTINE, M. LEDRU ROLLIN, M. MARRAST, M. ODILON BARROT, M. MARIE, M. ARAGO, M. GARNIER PAGES, M. LOUIS BLANC, Secretary. Here, therefore, we have a foretaste of a Republic—a Republic for France, for France of '69, for France of '99, for France of '3O, for France of '4B ! Shall it not be a Republic ? Is not Lannu ROLLIN a Republican ? Is not Gentile'', PAGES a Republican ? Is not MARRAST MARRAST, the editor of the National—a Republican ? Is not Louis BLANC the historian of the Revolution of 1830 a Re publican ? Is not Anent:l—the great philosopher of Europe—a Republican ? Is not LAMARTINE— the noble and eloquent panegyrist of the Girondins— a Republican ? Glory, therefore, say we to the Parisians who have conquered their liberties in the presence of an army of 100,000 men, who have broken the throne in the Boulevards, and trampled its atoms in the mud, who hare driven from their palace a recreant and faithless tyrant, and elevated in his stead the triune symbol of the people— LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY ! We have received the Paris papers of Thursday, and from them we extract the following account of the important events which attended the downful of monarchy and the establishment of republicanism in France, as stated in several editions of The Sun of last evening, to the following effect : LOUIS PHILIPPE HAS ABDICATED !- THE COUNT DE PARIS IS KING! THE DUKE OF NEMOURS, AS REGENT, IS REJECTED. THE ROYAL FAMILY HAS LEFT PARIS. A PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT IS IN STALLED, COMPOSED OF LAMARTINE, LEDRU ROLLIN, ODILON I3ARROT, MARIE, ARAGO, GARNIER PAGES, LOUIS BLANC. From the telegraphic dispatch it will he seen that this people have become completely victorious. We much doubt whether the reign of the Count DE PARIS Will be longer than that of NAPOLEON 11. Among the members of the Provisional Govern ment, M. ODILoN BARROT 15 the only one who belongs to the Dynastic party ; we doubt whether he will have sufficient power to act the part played by LAFAYETTE in 1830, and persuade the people to accept a Constitutional King, as La illeilleure de Republipes. M. DE LAMARTINH is sentimental Republican, who has been a Carlist but he is not a man of business or of action. ARAlso is a Republican from conviction, and his name will carry great weight with it. LEDRU ROLLIN and GARNIER PAGEs, however, will be the souls of the movement, both being popular, both Republican, both having that audage which, according to DANT(); is the great secret of success in revolutions. These are the men who will really sway the destinies of France, and with the•ltssistance of LOUIS BLANC (an able coadjutor) become the founders of the new Republique Frangaise. It appears that Count MOLE proving unacceptable to the people, the fighting was renewed on Wednes day, and M. TRIERS and M. ODILON BARROT were applied to to form a Ministry, and placards announcing that MM. THIERS, ODILON BARROT, and General LAMORICIERE had been appointed Ministers. This announcement was received with indignation, and the placards everywhere were torn down. The Palace of the Palais Royale (the private palace of the KING when Duke of ORLEANS) was taken by the people after mueh car nage. The people then proceeded to at tack the Tuileries at one o'clock yesterday. In this they were successful. The KING having abdicated in favour of the Count DE PARIS, lel t the Palace, escorted by the National Guard and cavalry, and proceeded towards the Barriere de Passy. The Duke DE NEMOURS having been rejected, an attempt was made to proclaim the Duchess of ORLEANS Regent. The Chamber of Deputies declared its sittings per manent, and the Count of Rams, accompanied by his mother, the Duchess of ORLEANS, and his uncle, the Duke DE NEMOURS, proceeded to the Chamber. The people had also penetrated into the interior of the Chamber, and the Duchess of ORLEANS, the Count de PARIS and the Duke Da NEMOURS were rejected by the Chambers and the people, and a Provisional Government composed of—. M. LAMARTINE, M. LEDRU ROLLIN, M. MARRAST, Editor of the National, M. ODILON BARROT, M. MARIE, M. ARAGO, M. GARNIER PAGES, M. LOUIS BLANC, Secretary, was accepted by the Chambers, and installed at the Hotel de Ville, at four o'clock. 13y two o'clock the Tuileries was in the hands of the National Guards and the people, who threw the furniture out of the windows, and burned it in the garden and Place Carrousel. The throne was taken possession of and carried through the streets in grand procession, by a party of men singing the "Marseil• laise." The troops and National Guard fraternized with the people, and thus decided the contest. The inter course with the Quartier Latin and Faubourg St. Germain was cut off, but firing was heard in that direction in the forenoon of yesterday. General TIBURCE SEBASTIANI, is said to have been killed. mense crowd, which also sang as one man Mourir pour la patrie 1' varied alternately with the ' Allons, enfans de la pa.trie !' and Aux armes citoyens Vof the Marseillaise: On ascending the Rue St Honore they fell in with a detachment of National Guards and of a regiment of the line; whereupon a thousand voices cried ' Long live the National Guard ! long live the line !' and to wind up came a fierce shout of Down with Guizot !' The Bourse was closed during the whole of the day, but at four o'clock, when the Provisional Go vernment was installed, the firing had ceased. The people had broken open the cellars of the Tuileries, and were distributing wine. " When the news of the resignation of the Ministry had become generally known in Paris, there was a burst of satisfaction which it would be difficult to describe. Large parties of the National Guard paraded the streets, the officers and men shouting 'Vice la Reforme,' and the crowd cheering loudly. Bands of 500 to 1,500 men and boys, went about crying 'Vice la Reforme,' and singing the 'llfarseil laise,' and on being met by the troops, they divided to let them pass, and as soon as they had passed re peated their cries and their song. Towards half past six o'clock an illumination was spoken of, and many persons lighted up spontaneously. The illumination of course became more general when the populace in large numbers went through the streets, calling light up.' Numerous bands alone, or following detachments of National Guards, went about shout ing Vive le Roi,"Vive la Rforme,' and singing the Marseillaise: On many of the points where barri cades had been erected, and the people were resisting the troops, they ceased resistance when they heard the news of the resignation of the Ministers, and the troops retired ; but we hear that on other points the people were less reasonable, and between nine and ten o'clock in the evening a large crowd from one of the faubourgs arrived opposite the hotel of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and some shots were fired at the hotel. An attempt had been made to storm the Hotel of the Minister of Finance, but it had failed. The number of killed, in the attack on the Valais Royal and the Tuileries, is said to have exceeded 500. Thus far we published in the late editions of The Sun of last evening. We- now resume our narrative from the French papers, which have been received this morning. Galignani's Messenger gives the following narra• tive of the events of Wednesday night and Thursday morning The following information of the events of yes terday will be found of great interest, both as regards some of the details and their results : " By about nine o'clock in the morning people assembled in considerable numbers in the quarters St. Denis and St. Martin, and at ten o'clock they had succeeded in erecting barricades at the Porte St. Denis, in the Rue de Clery, the Rue Neuve Saint Eustache, the Rue de Cadran, and the Rue du Petit- Carreau. A fusillade took place at some of these barricades between the populace and the Municipal Guards. Two young men were killed, and a munici pal guard was disarmed. Several municipal guards were pursued to the Place du Caire, by young men armed with sticks. The guards fired, and wounded several persons. A woman, the relative of a trades man, was, we understand, killed on the spot. Accord ing to the Patrie, the officer of a platoon of the Na tional Guard, who was on the place, was so indignant that he cried To arms !' whereupon the municipal guard beat a retreat. Two hours later one of our reporters passed through the Place du Caire. It was then perfectly calm—in fact, not a soul was to be seen except three National Guards in the Passage du Caire. " At the Porte St. Denis the troops charged the people, and the barricade in the Rue Cadran, at the entrance to the Rue Montmartre, was attacked by the Municipal Guard, who fired on the mob, whereby a child was killed, and two workmen and three women were, it is said, seriously wounded. " At eleven o'clock, the crowd was dense in the vicinity of the Porte St. Martin, and there were cries of Down with Guizot!" Long live Reform !' A detachment of troops fired on the mob, compelling it to retreat. " At twelve, all the quarter of the markets was fully occupied. There was a battalion of the 21st regiment on the Marche des Innocens, besides de tachments of the Municipal Guard, horse and foot, and two detachments of Cuirassiers. Two pieces of can non were on the spot, one of which was directed towards the Rue Montmartre, the other towards the Rue de la Ferronnerie. They were ready to be em ployed at a moment's notice. The fish-market was occupied by a battalion of the Ist regiment. " On the Place du Carrousel the horse Municipal Guard charged the groups who were assembled there ; but the people, after dispersing on one spot, imme diately re-assembled on another. " At the barricade in the Rue de Clery, which was half destroyed, the Municipal Guard fired, and several persons were wounded. " Between one and two o'clock one of our reporters visited the different quarters in which disturbances prevailed. On the Boulevards, in the Rue St. Denis, the Rue St. Martin, the Rue lontmarte, the Rue St. Honore, and, in fact, all the principal streets, the crowds were very dense. On the Boulevards, espe cially near the Portes St. Denis and St. Martin, there was a large assemblage of military, infantry, dragoons, light dragoons, and municipal guards, both horse and foot. In the Rue St. Martin frequent charges were executed. " The National Guard mustered rather strong yes terday, and, when the news of the resignation of the Ministry was known, a great number more who had refused to turn out made their appearance.; _ . "ELEVEN O'CLOCK.—At this hour there was no actual disturbance in the Rue St. Denis, the Rue St. Martin, and that neighbourhood, and the troops were all withdrawn ; but the people were busily engaged in constructing a formidable barricade near the Porto. They had turned up a great part of the foot-pavement, had seized some carts, broken down some iron railing, and in fact possessed themselves of almost everything which it was possible to remove. The difficulty of removing some of the stones was considerable, but the mob enlivened their labour with reiterated shouts of "Down with Guizot !" In the Rue Montmartre a barricade was being constructed, near the hotel of Baron Delessert, a short distance from the Boulevard. The pavement was there dug up —the railing in front of the hotel was broken down, and several back-cabs were seized. At the entrance into the Faubourg Montmartre from the Boulevard, the mob was also engaged in constructing a barricade. Surprise was expressed at all the troops being withdrawn, but it was said that they were busily engaged near the Hotel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the noise of frequent fusillades confirmed that statement. The mob seemed tolerably good-humoured, for several of them politely advised our reporter to take the by-streets in preference to the Boulevards, stating that there was danger in the passing along the latter. Many persons were walk ing up and down the Boulevards, armed with muskets and clubs. The only armed force we saw was a patrol of the National Guard, which was greeted by the mob with cries of Arive la Garde Nationale !' A. number of boys amused themselves in smashing the gas lamps. The Guardhouse of the Boulevarde Bonne Nouvelle has been abandoned by the troops, and the mob was occupied in pulling everything to pieces in the interior, breaking down the iron rail. ing, &c. " TWELVE O'CLOCK AT NIGHT.—It is with the deepest regret that we announce that the 14th regi ment of the line, stationed in the front of the Hotel des Affaires Estrangeres, fired to night on a nume rous groop of young men who were passing, with some National Guards at their head, and killed a considerable number of them, besides wounding many others. This event caused the greatest excitement, particularly at a later hour of the night, when some of the dead bodies, (at least 20, it was said), were carried in a waggon along the Boulevard towards the Bastille. Some barricades were immediately thrown up in the Rue ;du Faubourg Montmartre, the Rue Montmartre, and other streets close to the Boulevards. Some Cabriolets, trees, barrels, and other articles, were also flung together across the Boulevard des Italiens, so as to form a kind of barricade, but the pavement had not been torn up as in other places mentioned. At the hour at which we write matters have become more tranquil. The I?eforme has the following : " When the 10th Legion of the National Guard was assembled yesterday morning on the Place Ta ranne, one of them shouted Vive la Reformer "An attempt to erect barricades in the Rue St. Antoine was prevented, as were also other attempts in the Rues St. Laurent and St. Lazare. "In the Rue de la Cite and Rue de Constantine the troops had to disperse the mob. On the Place du Chatelet and the Pont au Change, a fusillade was kept up for some time. In the Rue des Pities de Calvaire barricades were established, but were de stroyed by the troops. Barricades which were con structed in the Rue du Temple were destroyed by the troops about four o'clock. A chef-de-bataillon was, it is said, killed. "The Place des Victoires and the Place du Car roussel were occupied by strong detachments both of dragoons and infantry. The Petrie relates that, in passing along the former, the pickets of the National Guard cried 'Down with Guizot ! Long live Re form !' They proceeded to the Place des Petits Peres, and from thence to the Rue Montmartre. They were followed by an immense crowd, who alternately chaunted the = Marseillaise,' and cried Vive la Garde Nationale!' At the same time charges were made on the assembled people in the Place de St. Andre des Arts, the Place de l'Ecole do Medecine, and in all the adjoining streets, as fax as the Place Maubert. Pickets of troops of the line, National and Municipal Guards, were stationed at almost all the corners of the streets. whereupon M. Lemercier, the Colonel, gave orders that he should be seized, but the National Guards, surrounding him, declared that he bad only expressed their sentiments. " The Patrie asserts that at the corner of Rue Lepel letier, M. Delaborde, chef- de-bataillon of the 2d Le gion, at the head of a strong detachment, refused to allow a detachment of Cuirassiers to enter the street, a proceeding in which he was warmly supported by his men, who uttered cries of "Long live Reform ! Down with Guizot !' In one street which leads to the Place de Petits Peres, some National Guards also prevented the troops from entering. On the Boulevard between the Chateau d'Eu and the Atnbigu a supe rior officer ordered the National Guard to charge the people, but, says the Patric, they refused. "In the course of the day M. Cretnieux, the De puty, went along the Quai du Louvre, to the Chamber of Deputies, followed by 400 National Guards in uniform, without arms. "In the morning, a post of the Municipal Guard, in the Rue Mauconseil, was carried by the people. Soon after, the Municipal Guards succeeded in re taking it ; but the people subsequently attacked it with renewed ardour, and succeeded in again getting possession of it. "During the whole day a large crowd was assem bled in the vicinity of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They cried incessantly, Down with Guizot! Long live Reform !' " A strong force of the National Guard occupied the Arcades and Rue de Rivoli during the day. A large crowd was assembled there, and it amused itself in shouting Long live the National Guard !' "In the course of the afternoon the mob attacked a body of the Municipal Guard, which was stationed under a gateway in a street in the Marais, and a small number of National Guards having come up, assisted, it was asserted, in disarming them. " About four o'clock the intelligence that the Ministry had given in its resignation began to be generally known. It was received by every demon stration of satisfaction. Even a large crowd of well dressed persons on the Boulevards testified their joy by shouting, Vire la Reforme!' "At about five o'clock the mob made an attack on the guard-house on the Boulevards Bonno Nouvelle, where some prisoners were confined. It succeeded in disarming the soldiers who occupied the post, and in releasing the prisoners. All the windows of the guard-house were smashed. The National Guard also released some prisoners who were confined in the Mairie of the 3d arrondissement. " The Patrie announces that a strong picket of the National Guard was passing before the Imprimerie Royal, followed by a numerous crowd shouting, Long live Reform ! Long live the National Guard !' A detachment of the Municipal Guard fired on them, ani wounded seven. Great exasperation was pro duced by this, but it was somewhat calmed down when the mob learned the downfall of the Guizot Ministry. " At seven o'clock an immense crowd, consisting almost exclusively of persons of the working classes, many of them very young, descended the Boulevards. They were headed by men bearing blazing torches. They sang the new favourite song, beginning, " Mourir pour la patrie C'est le sort le plus beau, le plus digne d'envie !' Or it would be more correct to say that they sang only those two lines, for they rarely got beyond them, repeating them over and over again. At i n t erva l s, however, they changed the refrain, by shouting with all the force of their lungs— ' " Down with Guizot ! Down with Guizot " On reaching the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, they found assembled very strong forces of infantry and dragoons, which occupied the whole width of the Boulevards with the exception of the pavement near the Rue Bosse du Rampart. Some persons expected to see the mob come into collision with the troops, but instead of that the torch-bearers filed off on the pave ment, shouting ' Vivo la ligne! Vive la li gne and they were followed by all their large train. " After having passed the soldiers the crowd raised a terrific shout of Down with Guizot !' after which, having formed themselves into something like order, they struck up the eternal ' Mourir pour la patrie !' an d co ntinued to bawl until they reached the church of the Madeleine. There a large detach ment of the National Guard was stationed. The commandant, on seeing the mob, went to the lead ers of it, recommending them to extinguish their torches, and to be orderly. The torch-bearers immediately complied with the request, and a thousand voices shouted ' Long live the National Guard !' The mob then cried To Duchatel,' and went along. the Rue Royale, with apparently the intention of paying a visit to the Minister of the Interior. " In the Rue St. Honore there was also an im " A detachment, consisting of tevoral companies of the 3d Legion, prevented the Municipal Guard from attacking the people near the Pont Notre Dame. Between five and six o'clock, about fifty Municipal Guards, who were shut up in a court-yard of t; house in the Rue Bourg l'Abbe, were forced to lay down their arms. The National Guard negociated between the people and the Municipal Guard for the disarming, and when it was effected the former took the latter under their protection. The exasperation of the crowd against the Municipal Guard was most intense, owing to the severity with which that b3dyhad acted in different quarters ; and when they issued from the court-yard a strong force was required to protect them. The people then demanded that they should be made to take off their schakos, and that they were obliged to do. They were then led along a number of streets headed by a detachment of cuirassiers, and surrounded by the National Guard, the troops of the line forming a passage for them to pass. On arriv ing at the Place de Motel de Ville, a clever cavalry movement prevented the crowd from entering, and the Municipal Guard were thereby enabled to escape into the place. They then warmly expressed their thanks to their deliverers. " At nine o'clock the quartier Transnonain and part of the Rue St. Martin were filled with barri cades, which were guarded in military fashion by the people. The inhabitants were politely conducted to their residences. Fires were lighted for the bi vouac. In the Rue Rambuteau, the people carrying torches knocked at ;the doors, until some one an- sw:: , red. They then cried,] Have you arms ?' Yes.' Then give them.' When the arms were given the people wrote on the doors, On a donne des urines: "As the crowd was assembled before the hotel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and were uttering the usual cries, they were fired on without any previous notice, and 52 persons fell dead or wounded. A cry of vengeance was immediately uttered by the people, the victims of an abominable ambuscade, and several of them hastened into the neighbouring streets, shout ing To arms ! to arms ! We are being assassi nated!' Shortly after we saw a cart arrive at the offices of the National, containing dead bodies. The vehicle was surrounded by people, who were weeping and full of indignation, and who showed us the bloody bodies, crying, ' They are assassins who have slain them ! We will avenge them ! Give us arms ! —arms !' The torches, casting their glare by turns on the bodies and on the people, added to the violent emotions of the scene. M. Garnier Pages, being at that moment in the offices of the National, addressed the people. He promised that he would employ his efforts to obtain for the people thus attacked the satis faction which is required from these impious and atrocious Ministers. The funeral train left our offices conducted and lighted in the same manner ; they conveyed the bodies to distant quarters." The National thus continues the history of this affecting incident, which seems to have been the first occurrence that raised in the people a desire of blood shed and of vengeance, and which has cost Louis PHILIPPE his throne, and may cost his Ministers their lives : " M. de Courtais, deputy of the Opposition, hastened to the Boulevard des Capucines to ascertain the causes of this shameful butchery. He informs us that the colonel of the regiment which had caused the firing to take place was in consternation at what had occurred. He thus explained what he called a deplorable imprudence:—At the moment at which the crowd arrived a bullet from a gun, which went off by accident in the garden of the hotel, broke the leg of the Lieutenant-Colonel's horse. The officer com manding the detachment believed that it was an attack, and immediately with a guilty want of reflec tion commanded his men to fire. This officer was immediately placed in prison. ",M. Lemercier, Peer of France, and Colonel of the 10th Legion, having stated to a battalion of the legion that the entente was crushed, and that the National Guard was called on to give a testimony of confidence to the Government, one of the National Guards stepped forward and declared that they would not do it, and that they all desire a change of Ministry and reform. These words were received with accla mations. " General Friant having stated at the Post des Petits Peres that they had compelled M. Guizot and M. Duchatel to resign, there was a cry—' That is not enough—we want the overthrow of the whole Ministry and its impeachment !' " In a detachment of the National Guard in the Rue- Pinon, there were cries, in addition to those of Down with the Ministry !' of ' We won't have thieves in embroidery, any more than in rags !' " In the Palais Royale the Municipal Guard at tempted to charge the people, but were prevented by the National Guard. " The employes of the octrois at the barriers yes terday received orders to remove ; the barriers are occupied by the National Guard. " About two o'clock the colonels of the twelve the National Guard waited on the KING for the pair* Legions sent a deputation to the King, informing pose of demanding a change of Ministry, the King him that it was impossible to preserve the tranquillity sent for Count MOLE, who undertook to form a new of the city unless prompt and important concessions " Ministry of the Barricades."

" The Debats says that the collision which took place at•the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was caused by a crowd, headed with torches and flags, attempt ing to force its way through the ranks of the sol diers. It says nothing of the number of persons killed and wounded. " After midnight the tocsin was sounded in the Church St. Germain des Pres, and the rappel was beaten in several quarters. " The following declaration was yesterday signed in the 4th Legion of the National Guard : " 'We, the undersigned, all belonging to the _Na tional Guard, declare that, in the midst of the trou bles of the capital, the summons to assemble having been beaten, we, the protectors of order, shall pro teed wherever we may be ordered to go to prevent or arrest the effusion of blood; but at the same time, being protectors of liberty, we declare that cur ob ject is not in any way to approve of the Ministerial policy, either at home or abroad, or to lend any sup port to a Ministry which, on the contrary, we blame with all the energy of good citizens. We do not deliberate under arms—we merely state our way of thinking, before we go to our post.' " Yesterday evening, at about 8 o'clock, an'immense crowd proceeded to the residence of M. Odillon Bar rot, and entered the court-yard of his house, and many of them his apartment, in the most penceable manner. A deputation advanced towards M. Odillon Barrot, who was at the time in company with many of his colleagues. M. 0. Barrot addressed the depu tation as follows : "My Friends,—l think I see your fathers of July 1830 ; it is a display of the same courage—the same generosity.—(Unanimous cheers.) And to be, like them, worthy of liberty, be calm in triumph ; that is the character which is suitable to the cause of right and liberty." "Loud cries of Long live Odillon Barrot' were then raised. M. Garnier Pages added a few energetic words to persuade the crowd to retire peaceably. The shouts recommenced with increased strength, and were taken up by the people in the Rue de la Ferule des Mathurins. The correspondent of the Times, who was present, gives the following graphic account of the unfortunate event which occurred at the hotel of M. GUIZOT : " At ten o'clock a column of 600 or 800 people of all ranks, who had been fighting, passed up the Boulevard. Among them were evidently many of the Communistes, and, possibly, some of those male factors who will mix in all popular movements. The bearing and attitude of this column was ter rible. The subsequent act of one of the party jus tified the apprehension which their appearance sug gested. "Although M. Guizot had retired from the Ministry, the Hotel des Affaires Etrangeres remained occupied and guarded by troops. About ten o'clock a young man walked up to the officer in command, and ble w his brains out with a pistol. Seeing him fall, his soldiers without orders fired on the people, of whom four or five were killed. " The report of this discharge at a moment when we flattered ourselves that all was tolerably well over created a painful sensation. Twenty minutes after wards, however, a mGst touching and melancholy pro cession arrived, and, as far as I could perceive, turned alarm into rage. " The busz of an approaching multitude coming from the Boulevard des Capucines was heard, and a low song of death, Mourir pour la patrie,' was chanted by the throng instead of the victorious Mar. ceillaise. Mingled with this awful and imposing chorus, the noise of wheels could be heard. A large body of the people slowly advanced. Four in front carried torches. Behind them came an open cart surrounded by torch-bearers. The light was strong, and discovered four or five dead bodies, partly un dressed, which appeared to have been carefully ranged in the cart. " When the head of the column reached the corner of the Rue Lepelletier the song was changed to a burst of fury, which will not soon be forgotten by those who heard it. The procession halted at the office of the National, and the whole party burst into a unanimous shriek or cry of Vengeance !' You know how sonorous is that word when pronounced in French. The dead bodies in the cart were those of the men who fell under the fire of the soldiers above-mentioned. "This event is deplorable. It may possibly change the issue of the affair. " The night was an awful one. The noise of work men appeared to break on the stillness. Having heard a similar one in 1830, I guessed what was going on. Barricades—one immensely strong at the end of the Rue Richelieu—were in progress of construction. This has continued up to this moment (half-past ten). Every tree on the whole line of the Boulevard has been felled. Every one of the superb lamp-posts has been thrown down, and all converted into bar ricades. "At the corner of every street is aharricade—gen tlemen, shopkeepers, clerks, workmth, all labouring • • • • at the work with an eagerness and an earnestness beyond description." The Journal des Debats says : " Between three and four o'clock a deputation of about 100 members of the National Guard, composed for the most part of officers of the fourth Legion, went towards the Chamber of Deputies. A battalion of the tenth Legion, which was in the service of the Chamber, advanced to the middle of the Pont de la Concorde, and declared that they had orders not to permit any deputation to proceed to the Chambers. At the moment at whieh this was passing M. Odillon 13arrot and M. Gander Pages, who were followed by a great number of deputies of the Opposition, joined the deputation. The petition was then remitted to M. Cremieux. "The efforts of the crowd were concentrated between Rue St. Antoine and the Rue Montmartre, and between the Rue Vielle du Temple an the d St. Martin, the barricadus of which, as has been already stated, were constructed with ddi gences, cabs, carts, &c., tilled with paving stones. Most were abandoned without resistance, and the crowd assembled in 4er spots. A barricade in the Rue Vieille du Temple, near the Rues de l'Oseille and de Poitou, was surmounted by a red flag. An officer who commanded a detachment which attacked O.lilon Barrot ! Vice le Vingt-unieme de ligrxe !" the soldiers fraternising with the people. The caissons of the regiment were in an instant broken, and their contents immediately distributed amongst the crowds. By eleven o'clock the muster of the National Guards had become very strong, and most of the posts which had been cccupied by the infantry of the line were taken possession of by them. A company of the line was seen returning to their barracks, hl the Rue de Faubourg Poissonniere. Many of theta were disarmed, having given their muskets when demanded by the people, or rather by mere lads, who were in the crowd. Those who were not disarmed had their muskets reversed. Two pieces of cannot and two caissons were seized on the Boulevart del Italiens by a party of the people, mixed with National Guards. The powder was taken out of the caissons and distributed to the people, and then the cannon and the caissons were taken to the mairie of the second arrondissement. The following proclamation has been posted at the Bourse : " Orders have been given to cease firing ever where. We have just been charged by the King to fortis a Ministry. " The Chamber will be dissolved, and an :spPes l be made to the country. " General Lamoriciere has been appointed Corr mandant of the National Guards. (Signed) " THIERS. ODILON BARROT. DU VE RGIE It DE UAURANI L AMORJCIERE." In the meanwhile the people had not been During the whole night the people were busily ere gaged in erecting barricades in the principal street , as well as in those smaller ones in which it migh t appear of importance to prevent the entrance of the military. Barricades existed at an early hour this morning in different parts of the Boulevards, especial near the Porte St. Denis, where there was a yen formidable one, and near the Rue Richelieu, -where there were two ; in the upper end of the Rue ;dont' martre two, the Faubourg Montmartre, the Rue Geoffrey Marie, the Rue de Provence, the Rase Cadet, the Rue Vivienne two, the Rue Richelieu, the Rue des Deux Ecus, the Rue St. Honore, the Rue des Vielles Etuves, the Rue des Fosses St. Geemale l'Auxerrois, and in a multitude of other places, i° fact, it would occupy a column to name all. The bat' ricades were constructed partially of cabs, diligencem carts, boards, or anything else the people could 14 their hands on; and these different objects being piled and fitted together as well as possible, were kept iu their places by paving-stones torn up from the street* On the Boulevards a'great many of the trees were cut down, and the bureaux of the men who mists' the hackney cabs were dragged into the middle of the roadway. Almost every barricade was guarded by • small number of persons, some of whom were armed with guns, others with clubs, but the great majority were without arms at all. The people at the barn' cedes behaved very civilly to the passengers, allowing them to pass most of the barricades without Much difficulty ; but at some of those which opened on the Boulevards, permission to pass was refused. Exasperated with the slaughter which had tithe° place in front of the Hotel of M. GuizoT, they at' tacked and carried the Palais Royale and the Tuilerie* and insisted on the abdication of the KING:; and tbi Ministerial combination which, if made on Monday , would have saved to Louts Puteirre his throne, woe in consequence of this delay of three days, insufficieht to save the monarchy itself. At twelve o'clock M. ODILON BARROT, WOO' panied by General LAMORICIERE, repaired from the Chamber of Deputies to the Ministry of the Interior, where he was formerly installed, in presence of the National Guard and a multitude of citizens, who filled the Court. Shortly afterwards the following procle" mation was posted up on the gate, amidst universal acclamations : e, M y dear Comrades,—l have been invested by the new Cabinet with the superior command of the $ll - Guard of the Department of the Seine. " By your energetic attitude you have asserted the triumph of liberty. You have been, and will ever be, the defenders of order. I rely upon you, as you may rely upon me.

A barricade at the entry to the Rue de Perche was destroyed by artillery. " In an attack on the Place du Chatelet, M. de St. Hilaire, chef de bataillon of the 34th Regiment, was killed." " Citizens of Paris,— " The King has abdicated. The crown, bestowed, by the revolution of July, is now placed on the head of a child, protected by his mother. They are both under the safeguard of the honour and courage of the Parisian population. All cause of division amongst us has ceased to exist. Orders have been given to the troops of the line to return to their respective quarters. Our brave army can be better employed than in shedding its blood in so deplorable a col lision. " My beloved fellow-citizens ! —From this moment the maintenance of order is intrusted to the courag° and prudence of the people of Paris and its heroic National Guard. They have ever been faithful to our noble country. They will not desert it in this grave emergency. ~ ODILON I3ARROT." The following is from the Conserv3teur : " The service of the arrondissement post•offices was impeded yesterday and the day before by the insur gents. The post-office for the Hanes remained con.. stantly closed. That in the Rue I'Echiquer was partially interrupted. Yesterday and the day before the insurgents prevented the postmen from taking the letters from the receiving boxes, and on Tuesday night one of these postmen was surrounded and de tained for several hours. The post-o ffi c e omn ib uses were prevented from running the whole of the day by an assemblage of 400 or . 500 armed me n .

When in the night of Tuesday, the deputation from All the military poets on the left bank of the Seine were disarmed early in the morning, and co' cupiell partly by National Guards and men of the people. At noon a party of armed workmen , headed by pupils of the Polytechnic School, pre" sented themselves at the barrack of the firemen, in the Rue du Vieux Colombier. The sentinel at first ()tiered resistance, but when told that they acted in the name of the National Guard the officers junl 3 °' diately agreed to surrender their arms, which were passed to the people under the gateway.

CAPTURE OF THE TUILERIES, FRANCE A REPUBLIC. Exult, shade of the Great VERGINAIID ! Rejoice, spirits of GINSONNE, Of CONDORCET, of BRissoT, of BARRERE, of FONBREDE, of the beautiful and sub lime ROLAND ! for, after a struggle of nearly seventy years, through the alternations of many successive constitutions, after the rise and the fall of three dis tinct dynasties, through perils from within and from without, from traitors and from coalitions—in spite of hostile armies and conspiring factions—in spite of despotism and treason—the Genius of Patriotism has triumphed ; the Genius of Liberty has proved vic torious—at last—at last FRANCE Is FREE ! Agitated, as we are, by the intelligence received of the extraordinary deeds just accomplished in Paris, it is difficult to recount those occurrences with the calmness and regularity which would be most accept able to our fellow•citizens. Brave Frenchmen ! You have shown yourselves worthy of the Age and of History ! England watches the progress of your revolution with a profound and fraternal interest. As you have just displayed your Valour in Danger, evince now your Moderation in Victory ! The non-arrival of our ordinary dispatches from the capital of France, yesterday, revealed the fact that circumstances of a very uncommon and momen tous character were then transpiring among the Parisians. That impression was corroborated by the information which arrived piecemeal last evening, and which we ourselves published from time to timo in various successive editions. Our accounts have been mure than confirmed by the information which has reached us this morning, and which will be found in extenso in our Paris correspondence. It would appear that the partial concessions made to the popular will by the accepted resignation of GUIZOT, and the nomination of Mons as his suc cessor, had only tended to whet the appetite of the Reformers. Actuated, no doubt, by a conscious ness of the imminence of a still greater movement, and by a conviction of his own incompetency to stem the progress of events, Count ilion3 retired from the perilous post to which he had been elevated. The immediate formation of a Cabinet in which the populace could have some confidence was absolutely requisite. LOUIS PHILIPPE saw that without this there would be no possibility of abating the excitement of the multitude. M. Tursus was consequently . summoned to the royal presence, and entrusted with the con struction of a new Ministry, under a stipulation made by himself, that M. ODILON BARROT should be one of his colleagues.
