CONSOLIDATION THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. Every additional scrap of intelligence received from Paris confirms our impression, more and more, that the Revolution of 1848 is as glorious in the principles which it embodies, as it is unparalleled in its rapidity, its completeness, and its moderation. France has imbibed wisdom from experience. Its people have risen because they have been compelled—they have triumphed because of their unanimity—they have evinced the most extraordinary self-command because their cause is the cause of justice and humanity. Since 1830—that famous epoch in which one man was the recipient of the generosities of an entire nation !—the liberties of Frenchmen have been cur tailed and stunted, in defiance of all the provisions of the Charter. Since' 1830, the inhabitants of that great country have protested' against the aggressions of their perfidious and insidious Sovereign. The struggle which commenced in 1834 has continued for nearly fourteen years without intermission, the royal absolutist maintaining his position by a policy the verb of which was " craft," and the multitude insisting upon the necessity of the due preservation of their rights in the midst of the horror excited by those comprehensive innovations which were never theless received with a sublime obedience. For fourteen years, we say, that struggle continued with a deliberate ferocity, and a systematic falsity, on the part of the Government, and a suppressed but growing sentiment of wrath on the part of the com munity. One act of perfidy has not evoked the recent convulsion of affairs in Paris. The Revolution is merely the ultimate consequence of a thousand thousand provocations. Even the awful catalogue of official crimes condensed by the genius of ODILON BARROT within the compass of his epi gramatic impeachment is but a meagre indication of the offences which have each by each aroused the in dignation of a sensitive and most excitable populace. Corruption is but one of the many plague-spots upon the Cabinet of GUIZOT-but one of those hideous poison -blots which affected France to the very extremities, filling her heart with rage and nerving her arms to a divine effort at emancipation. The arbitrary power installed during so many legislative and financial years in the Tuile ries evoked on its own head the vengeance of thirty millions. Its Nemesis was that popular will which it had outraged. It fraternized with Austria, it slighted Italian patriotism, it defrauded the Spaniards of their nationality, it strove to degrade that august spirit of civism which had existed for centuries among the mountains of Switzerland, it restrained the feelings of the Portuguese for the sake of a dynastic compact, it instigated the perpetration of such atro cities in Algeria as had scarcely ever been known since the days of TAMERLANE the Conquerer, it had partially trodden out the freedom of the press by the execrable enactments of September, it had covered France with infamy by the reflected infamy of its associates, it had at length adventured upon a course so flagrant in its opposition to that alone compatible with civil liberty, as to take measures for the preven tion of freedom of discussion by the demonstration of an armed force of 100,000 disciplined soldiers. Against that last and consummating act of violence the Parisians rose to a man; they defied the austere intellect of GUIZOT, the un bridled Machiavellism of Louis Pntrappe, the daunt less cruelty of BUGEAUD, the obstinacy of HEBERT, the determination of DUCUATEL, the sycophancy of DELESSERT, and the loyal frigidity of JACQUEMINOT —they defied all this ; they, regarded with indifference a circle of enormous fortifications; they scorned the obstacles which bristled before them in the shape of swords, and bayonets, and cannon ; the Parisians, we say, defied all this—they con quered the friendship of the National Guard and afterwards of the troops of the line—they disbanded the guards of the municipalities—they captured the palaces, dethroned the Monarch, drove forth the members of the Royal Family as fugitives, and after achieving all this with a suddenness almost incredible, they installed a Provisional Government, which immediately afterwards proclaimed France to be a Republic. Instead of the triumphal march of Des potism, we have witnessed the victorious progress of Democracy. A week back, and France was to all appearance tranquil under a constitutional sove reignty. Scarcely seven days—and that sovereignty is demolished, and thirty millions of the human race are declared to be the citizens of a democratic re public. The very rapidity with which all this has been accomplished is a proof, that it had become an absolute necessity—that Louts PHILIPPE had ren dered himself irrecoverably detestable—that the Re volution of 1848 has been the ebullition of an epoch, the unanimous outburst of an entire people. Such being the case, it is the duty of Europe at once to recognise the existence of the French Re public. For that Republic is legitimately esta blished, and the names of the principal leaders are enough of themselves to ensure to the Provisional Government the respect of the Liberals of the world. Those eminent Ministers, it will not be forgotten, are— DUPONT (de l'Eure), President of the Council, LAMARTINE, Minister of Foreign Affairs, LEDRU ROLLIN, Minister of the Interior, BEDEAU, Minister of War, MICHEL GOUDCHAUX, Minister of Finance, ARAGo, Minister of Marine, BETIIMONT, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, MARIE, Minister of Public Works, CARNOT, Mini s t er o f P u bli c I nstruct i on, CAvAioruc, Governor-General of Algeria, GARNIEIt PAGES, Mayor of Paris. umberless i ns t ances have been given of the mo deration of this great people in the midst of their memorable and supreme excitement. While them selves fusilladed by the soldiery they have frequently respected life and property, and have even chastised their comrades when any act of brutality has been detected. While storming the Tuileries, they appear to have abstained from all destruction of the works of art and vertu with which its galleries and saloons are enriched, planting sentinels at the different doorways to prevent all robbery and unne cessary outrage. One example, however, is worth a hundred generalities. Here is one, and we commend its perusal to our readers, for it seems to us to be in vested with a very sublime aspect: —" On taking the Tuileries," says the Democratic Pacifique, "the people found a magnificent image of Chri6t, in sculpture. The people stopped and saluted it. My friends,' cried a Pupa of the Ecole Pelytechnipe, Mid is Ma , JO ~.c, 4 6 . , .., ... r , 5. , _.,.0.;.‘",,.E.,,,, ~0,...., _....„....,,,,,..,,,,,,,„„.,:......,:_.„‘,.. ~,..,. r.,......... SUT 4 t, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 28, 1846, Master of us all P The people took the Christ, and bore it solemnly to the Church St. Roch. Citizens, of with your hats! Salae Christ P said the people; and everybody inclined in a religious sentiment. Noble people 1 who respect all that is sacred ! Noble people who bless the Being who proclaimed the law of uni versal fraternity !" This, we repeat it, is a sublime token of the legality of this glorious and most com plete Revolution. It is a token that the Republican sentiments of the French co-exist with the vital energies of Christianity. The Paris papers of Thursday give the following account of what will probably be the last sitting of the Chamber of Peers (as on Friday the Provisional Government published a decree interdicting the ex- Chamber of Peers from again holding any sittings), and of the sitting in the Chamber of Deputies, in which the Monarchy was rejected and a Provisional Government was established. CHAMBER OF PEERS. SITTING OF FED. 24. The President took the chair at two o'clock. About sixty Members were present. The Secretaries were in their uniform of National Guards. The Marquis de Boissy complained that the regu lations had not been followed the preceding day when his proposition to interrogate the Ministry, relative to the state of Paris, was presented. A short discussion arose on this point, in the course of which Count de Tascher and M. Barthe declared, that everything had passed with perfect regularity; and that besides, the Noble Peer was so constantly in the habit of abusing the liberty of discussion, that he ought to be the last person to complain. The matter then dropped. The President then rose and said—Now, Gentle men, I only know from the Moniteur, that the pre ceding Ministry no longer exists, and that a new Government is being formed. I have not yet re ceived any communication and consequently I have no statement to make to the Chamber. Yesterday the discussion commenced on the Bill relating to the mortgage system in the colonies, but no Minister being now present, that deliberation cannot con tinue. Baron C. Dupin—Besides, the Chamber is not in sufficient number to deliberate. Baron Maurice Duval—The Government knows that the Chambers are sitting. lam of opinion that we ought to remain in a state of permanence, in order that if communications be addressed to us, it may not be necessary to seek us through Paris.—(Yes !) The Peers then left their seats, and collected round the President's chair, the sitting being suspended. About three o'clock, it was rumoured that the Duchess of Orleans and the Count de Paris were coming to the Chamber. Some minutes after the President rose and said, I have not received any communication, but I am in formed that the Regent and the young King are on their way here.—(Profound sensation.) I shall draw lots for a grand deputation to go and receive them. During the drawing lots in the usual way the public tribunes became filled with a considerable number of spectators, amongst whom were many National Guards. The arm-chairs usually occupied by the Secretaries were removed, and replaced by others of crimson velvet for the expected visitors. The President left his place, and seated himself below, in one of the benches usually occupied by Ministers. However, the expectation thus raised was not gra tified, and about four o'clock the President and the Peers withdrew. An usher then announced that the sitting was over. The spectators retired in consider able agitation. CHAMBER OF DEPUTIES. SITTING OF PEB. 24. The public sitting was to have taken place at three o'clock, a meeting in the bureaux being appointed to be holden previously, but the important events of the morning caused a change in the order of pro- ceeding. The President took the chair at one o'clock. About 300 Deputies were present from the com mencement of the sitting, but nothing was done for some time. M. C. Laffitte—Gentlemen, I address myself to all parties in this Chamber, particularly to the Members of the extremities, praying them to keep down all angry passions.—(Hear, hear.) Looking at the cir cumstances in which we are now placed, I propose to the Chamber to declare itself in permanence.—(Loud cries of " Yes, yes.") M. Dutier—J demand to have the proposition postponed, and that the Chamber simply declares itself sitting, with the faculty of afterwards adopting such measures as it may deem advisable.—(Yes, yes.) M. de Cambaceres—l propose that the Chamber shall remain in permanence until the end of the crisis. —(Yes, yes.) the President—There cannot be any other ques tion of permanence than this—the Chamber has opened its sitting, and will remain so as long as no motion be made to adjourn it.—(Hear, hear.) About half•past one it was rumoured about that the Duchess of Orleans and the two young Princes, her sons, were about to arrive. Shortly after a movement was apparent in the passage on the left of the Chamber, and the Duchess and her two sons en tered, followed by the Duke de Nemours and the Duke de Montpensier. The Count de Paris entered first of all, a person holding him by the hand. With difficulty he penetrated as far as the semi-circle in front of the President's chair, so encumbered was it with Deputies and National Guards. His presence and that of the rest of the royal party created a great sensation. The Duchess seated herself in an arm chair with her sons at each side of her in the wide space just mentioned. Almost immediately after the passages to the various parts of the Chamber were filled with an immense body of the people and National Guards, both armed. Cries of " You cannot enter ! " " You have no right to enter !" were then heard ; but the nett moment a number of men belonging to the people forced their way into the Chamber, and placed themselves right under the tribune. The Duchess of Orleans then rose, and taking the young Princes by the hand, led them to the range of seats forming the pourtour behind the Deputies, and still exactly in front of the President. The Duke de Nemours and the Duke de Montpensier placed them selves in the last line of seats, immediately behind the Princess and her son. The greatest agitation prevailed in every part of the Chamber ; and it was a moment after increased by the public tribunes being rushed into by another body of the people. M. Dupin then ascended the tribune, and amidst deep silence said—ln the present situation of the capital and the critical circumstances in which the country is placed, the Chamber was bound to as semble immediately. The King has just abdicated. —(Sensation.) He has disposed of the crown in favour of his grandson, the Count de Paris; and has constituted the Duchess of Orleans Regent.—(Ap plause from all the benches of the Centre, and from some of the public tribunes, and with loud disappro bation on the Left.) A voice from one of the Tribunes—lt is too late An agitation, impossible to describe, here arose. A number of Deputies collected round the Duchess of Orleans and the rest of the royal group. National Guards without ceremony came and mingled with the Deputies who had done so. M. Marie ascended the tribune, but was obliged to remain there a length of time without being able to obtain a hearing. At last, silence being restored, he -aid—Gentlemen, in the situation in which Paris now is, it is both necessary and urgent for us to adopt some measure which may have some authority with the population. Since this morning the evil has made immense progress.—(Hear, hear.) What course will you take ? Just now, the Duchess of Orleans was announced as Regent ; but a law exists which gives the regency to the Duke de Nemours, and you cannot at the present moment pass a law to revoke it. 'What must be done is to nominate a Provisional Govern ment—(Loud cries from the Left of "Hear, hear)..... not to give institutions, but to consult with the two Chambers on the necessity of satisfying the wishes cf the country. M. Cremieux—ln the interest of the public safety a great measure is necessary. It is important that every one should he of the same mind to proclaim a great principle, and to ensure to the victorious people serious guarantees. Let us not do as in 1830, since it has been found necessary to commence again, in 1848, what was then done.—(Applause.) We cannot at the present do more than establish a provisional Go vernment.—(Cries of " No, no.") I have the greatest respect for the Duchess of Orleans—(Cries of " Bravo, bravo !")—and I just now conducted the Royal Family to the carriage which bore them away. A Voice—Bon voyage !—(Murmurs.) M. Crereieux—The population of Paris has shown the most profound respect for the King's misfortune, but we who have been sent here to enact the laws, cannot violate them. A law already voted disposes of the regency, and I cannot admit that it can be abro gated at this moment. Since we have come to the point of undergoing a revolution let us confide ourselves to the country. I propose a provisional Government of five members.—(Voices in the tribunes, "Yes, yes.") The Abbe de Genoude ascended the tribune, and was about to address the Chamber, when M. O. Barrot entered. Numerous yoices-0. Barrot to the tribune ! Let 0. Barrot speak ! The Abbe de Genoude—l have only a word to say (M. 0. Barrot, who had ascended the tribune, signi fied his acquiescence, and remained standing with his back against the President's bureau, the Abbe said) —You cannot effect anything without the co-opera tion of the people. You trie I it in 1830, and you see what has come to pass. N. 4. Burot—Never have we had need of more coolness and patriotism. May we be all united in one sentiment—that of saving our country from the most dreadful of visitations—a civil war.—(Applause.) Nations, I am aware, do not die, but they become weak from intestine dissensions, and France never had more need than now of all her force—of the aid of all her children. Our duty is clearly traced out—it calls on us to unite ourselves to what is most gene rous in the heart of the nation. The crown of July rests on the head of a child and a woman.—(Loud marks of assent from the greatest part of the Cham ber, great disapprobation from the public tribunes.) —lt is a solemn appeal. The Duchess of Orleans here rose and pronounced some words which we could not catch. The persons near her appeared to recommend her to sit down. M. 0. Barrot—lt is in the name of the political liberty existing in our country, of the necessities of order which have occurred to every one's mind, of the union and accord which ought to reign amongst all good citizens, that I call on all my colleagues to support this double representation of July.—(Re• newed assent and disapprobation, as before.) I would give my life a thousand times to ensure the triumph of the cause of liberty in my country— The Marquis de Larochejaquelin—You do not know what you are doing ! M. 0. Barrot—Can it be that anyone can imagine that what was decided by the Revolution of July can be again called in question ?—(Great agitation.) Gentlemen, the work, I allow, is difficult; but there are such elements of generosity, greatness, and good sense in this country, that it suffices to appeal to them to induce the whole population to rally round the stan dard I display.—(Murmurs in the tribunes.) Our duty is simple—it is traced out by the laws and by honour. If we do not fulfil it with firmness, I cannot say what the consequences will be, but be certain of this, that whoever should dare to incur the responsibility of a civil war, would be in the highest degree culpable towards his country.—(Hear, hear.) For my part, what I conceive to be most fitting for the situation is this—the regency of the Duchess of Orleans; a Ministry chosen from the most tried opinions ; and an appeal to the country, which will pronounce with full liberty, in an extent sanctioned by law. Such is my opinion, and I cannot consent to assume the respon sibility of any other situation.—(Agitation.) The Marquis de Larochejaquelin—Gentlemen, I feel the most profound respect for what there is painful in the position of certain persons. I am, perhaps, more than another called ,on to defend here the people and liberty. But I must reply to M. 0. Barrot that I cannot have here the intention of up holding a particular opinion ; that Hon. Gentleman has not comprehended the sentiment which animates me. Gentlemen, here you are nothing— Loud cries from all sides of " Order, order." The President—M. de Larochejaquelin, you are sinning against the respect due to the Chamber; I call you to order. The Marquis de Larochejaquelin—When I affirm that you are nothing, I do not mean to say that the Chamber is annulled. _ _ _ _ A person not belonging to the Chamber, M. Che vallier, editor of the Bibliothglue Historique, here ascended the tribune.—(Great confusion.) M. Chevallier—l shall speak with the greatest moderation.—(You have no right to be there.) Be ware of proclaiming the Count de Paris without being authorised to do so; but if the Duchess of Orleans and the young Count have sufficient courage to go along the Boulevards, in the midst of the people and the National Guards, I answer for their safety. If the people will not consent to confer on him the crown— _ _ _ Voices in the crowd—" Vive la Republique." M. Chevallier—What you have now to do is to give us a Government, and to give it at once; you cannot leave a whole population without magistrates, without directing heads.—(The noise prevented the voice of the speaker from being heard.) At this moment a vast crowd broke into the Chamber. They were dressed in the most heteroge neous manner, some in blouses with dragoons' helmets on their heads ! others with cross-belts and infantry caps I others again in ordinary clothes, but all with arms—swords, lances, spears, muskets, and tri• coloured flags. These persons at once seized on such Deputies' seats as were unoccupied, several even ascended the tribune, and fixed themselves there. The President perceiving what had occurred, and in order to mark bis disapprobation, as well perhaps as to signify that the sitting could not go on under such circumstances, put on his hat. This created a dreadful uproar, and numerous cries of " Off with your hat, President 1" were heard from new corners. Several of them even directed their muskets at him. The scene was of almost unima ginable violence. M. Ledru-Rollin, from hid' place, overpowering the tumult with his voice —Gentlemen, in the name of the people, I call for silence A number of the Deputies, appearing to consider their position perilous, began to withdraw, and as they abandoned their places the crowd took possession of them. The tumult was tremendous, and many Deputies looked with anxiety towards the Duchess of Orleans and her children. She however sat calm amidst the uproar. M. Ledru-Rollin after some time succeeded in making himself heard.—ln the name of the people, (said the Hon. Deputy) I protest against the kind of Government which has just been proposed to you. —(lmmense applause, cries of "Bravo!" bravo I" from the new corners, and their comrades in the public tribunes ; the shouts were deafening.) This is not the first time that I have thus protested ; already, in 1842, I demanded the constitution of 1791.—(Cheers.) That constitution declared that it should be necessary to make an appeal to the people when a Regency Bill was to be passed.—(The loudest applause) I protest, therefore, against the Govern ment that it is attempted to establish—l do so in the name of the citizens whom I see before me—who for the last two days have been fighting, and who will, if necessary, again combat this evening. (From every side cries of " Yes 1 yes I' cheers with bran • dishing of arms, and in some cases raising of muskets to the shoulder • indescribable tumult.) I demand in the name of the people that a provisional Govern ment be named.—(Great applause.) M. de Lamartine—Gentlemen, I shared in the sentiments of grief which just now agitated this assembly in beholding the most afflicting spectacle that human annals can present—that of a Princess coming forward with her innocent son, after having quitted her deserted Palace, to place herself under the protection of the nation. But if I shared in that testimony of respect for a great misfortune, I also share in the solicitude—in the admiration which that people, now fighting during two days against a perfidious Governmeat for the purpose of re•esta blishing order and liberty, ought to inspire.—(Great applause from the tribunes.) Let us not deceive ourselves—let us nut imagine that an acclamation in this Cha:nber can replace the co-operation of thirty five millions of men. Whatever Government be established in the country it must be cemented by solid definitive guarantees! How will you find the conditions necessary for such a Government in the midst of the floating elements which surround us ? By descending into the very depth of the country itself, boldly sounding the great mystery of the right of nations.—(Great applause in the tribunes.) In place of having recourse to these subterfuges, to these emotions, in order to maintain one of those fictions which have no stability, I propose to you to form a Government, not definitive, but provisional—a Go vernment charged, first of all, with the task of stanch ing the blood which flows, of putting a stop to civil war—(Cheers)—a Government which we appoint without putting aside anything of our resentments and of our indignation; and in the next place a Go vernment on which we shall impose the duty of con voking and consulting the people in its totality—all that possess in their title of man the right of a citi zen.—(Tremendous applause from the people in the tribunes.) At this moment, a violent and imperative knocking was heard at the door of an upper tribune, which was not entirely filled. On the door being opened, a number of men rushed in, well provided with arms, and who appeared to have just come from a combat. Several of them forced their way to the front seats, and pointed their muskets at the Deputies below. Some of these weapons were also turned in the direction of the royal party. Immediately the persons near the Duchess of Orleans seemed to address her energetically, an d a moment after she rose, and, with her sons and the two Princes, quitted the Chamber by a door on the extreme left. M. Sauzet at the same moment withdrew from the President's chair, and nearly all the Deputies who had remained quitted their places. The noise and dis order at this moment were at the greatest height. Shortly after, silence being somewhat restored, M. Ledru-Rollin said —According as I 4ead out the names you will say d yes" or " no," just as th e y Please you, and, in order to act officially, I call on the reporters of the public press to note down the names and the manner in which they are received, that France may know what has been done here.—(The Hon. Deputy then read out the names of MM. Du pont (de l'Eure), Arago, de Lamartine, Ledru-Rollin, Gamier-Pages, Marie, and Cremieux, all of which were received with acclamations.) Cries of " To the Hotel de Ville !" here arose, followed by a cry of "No Civil List," and another of " No King!" Some one having directed the atten tion of the crowd to the picture of Louis Philippe swearing obedience to the Charter, cries of " Tear it down ;" arose. A workman armed with a double barrelled fowling-piece, who was standing in the semi -circle, cried out, " Just wait until I have a shot at Louis Philippe !" and at the same moment both barrels were discharged.—(Great confusion ensued, in the midst of which two men jumped on the chairs behind the President's seat, and prepared to cut the picture to pieces with their sabres.) Another workman ran up the steps of the tribune, - and exclaimed :—Respect public monuments ! respect property ! Why destroy the pictures with balls ? We have shown that the people will not allow itself to be ill governed ; let us now show that it knows how to conduct itself properly after its victory ; (Great applause.) The next instant, M. Dupont (de l'Eure) took possession of the chair. MM. de Lamartine and Ledru Rollin attempted successively to obtain a hearing, but unsuccessfully. Several of the National Guards, and some of the people also made similar attempts, but without effect. A cry then arose in one of the tri bunes of " Let Lamartine speak !" and at once all the others took it up. M. de Lamartine—A Provisional Government will be at once proclaimed.—(Enthusiastic cries of " Vive Lamartine I") Other Voices—The names! the names ! _ _ M. Cremieux, amidst great tumult, said—lt is essential that silence be restored, in order that one venerable colleague, M. Dupont (de l'Eure), may read to you the names which you wish to learn. As the tumult, which had lulled for a second whilst the Honourable Deputy was speaking, recom menced just as violently as ever, the names were written down on a sheet of paper, and that, being placed on the end of a musket, was so paraded about the Chamber. M. Ledru- Rollin, in the midst of the noise—A Provisional Government cannot be organized in a light or careless manner. I shall read over the names aloud, and you will approve of them, or reject them, as you think fit. In the midst of shouts and cries, the Hon. Deputy read out the names, but nothing could be heard. Nearly all the Deputies had by this time departed, and the National Guards and the people had the Chamber to themselves. M. Ledru-Rollin—We are obliged to close the sitting in order to proceed to the seat of Govern ment. From all sides—To the Hotel de Ville ! Vive la Republique 1 This most extraordinary sitting was then brought to a conclusion at four o'clock. The people withdrew in the utmost tumult. The Provisional Government having been installed at the Hotel de Ville, sat to decide upon the course to ,be adopted in the present state of the capital. Individually the great majority of them were opposed to the establishment of an unmitigated democracy. The populace, however, filled the hall, and completely overpowered them by demonstration of their inflexible purpose of seeing a republic in its most democratic form resolved on. In vain it was attempted to ad journ the question till minds should become calm. Every proposition of the like nature was met by me nacing shouts directed even against the most popular of the members of the Government. M. DUPONT (de l'Eure), who made many attempts to defend the proposition of a republic in its less democra tic shape, was compelled to silence by the most deafening shouts of " Dupont a la fenetre," and was so exhausted by fatigue and excitement that he twice fainted. M. MARIE met with no better success. The anxieties he underwent had such an effect on his countenance that on leaving the meeting his own son could not recognise him. The populace willed that a pure democratic republic should be formed, and that every male above a certain age should be eligible to the National Guard and empowered to carry arms. Every attempt to oppose this, in however mitigated a form, was the signal of renewed shouts of "Dupont ala fenetre !" " Marie ala fenetre." The popular will prevailed, and resolutions were passed in accord ance with it. The following proclamations were,then issued by the Provisional Government : " PROCLAMATION OF THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT. " To THE FRENCH PEOPLE, " A retrograde Government has been overturned by the heroism of the people of Paris. "The Government has fled, leaving behind it traces of blood, which will for ever forbid its return. " The blood of the people has flowed, as in July ; but, happily, it has not been shed in vain. It has secured a national and popular Government in accord ance with the rights, the progress, aid the will of this great and generous people. "A Provisional Government, at the call of the people and some Deputies in the sitting of the 24th of February, is for the moment invested with the care of organizing and securing the national victory. It is composed of MM. DUPONT DR L'EURE, LAMAR.. TINE, CREMIEUX, ARAGO, LEDRU-ROLLIN, and GARNIER PAGES. The Secretaries to this Govern ment are MM. ARMAND, MARRAST, Louis BLANC, and FERDINAND FLOCON. " These citizens have not hesitated for an instant to accept the patriotic mission which has been imposed upon them by the urgency of the occasion " Frenchmen, give to the world the example Paris has given to France. Prepare yourselves, by order and confidence in yourselves, for the in stitutions which are about to be given you. " The Provisional Government desires a republic, pending the ratification of the French pople, who are to be immediately consulted. " Neither the people of Paris, nor the Provisional Government, desire to substitute their opinion for the opinions of the citizens at large, upon the definite form of Government, which the national sovereignty shall proclaim. " L'unite de la nation, formed henceforth of all classes of the people which compose it. " The Government of the nation by itself. " Liberty, equality, and fraternity for its prin ciples.

"A general amnesty, the (late) Ministers to be ex cepted therefrom, and brought to trial. " The right of meeting to be consecrated by an immediate manifestation ; the immediate dissolution of the Chamber, and convocation of the primary assemblies.

"UNIVERSAL FEATEENITY (likewise in large capitals) " (Sig❑ed by the editors of the Democratie Pacifique.) To this is added— " P.S.—There is a man in France who accepts these principles, and who has already proclaimed them—namely, M. de Lamartine." On Friday the Chateau of Vincennes wag surren • dered to the Provisional Government, and on Satur day tranquillity had been so far restored, that ladies and children again ventured to appear in the streets. The army has accepted the Provisional Government, and the provincial towns are hourly sending in their adhesion. It is said that the people are determined to restore to France the frontier of the Rhine by annexing Belgium, and preparations are making for opposing any attempts on the part of the absolutist powers to invade France. It is generally believed that England will recognise the republic, and, notwithstanding the damage done to the hotel of the British Ambassador, and feelings excited by the numerous applications for passports (applications so numerous that it is physically impossible to comply with them all at once) the people are generally favour ably disposed towards England : it is against Austria that they are most indignant. The strong fortress of Mont Valerien surrendered on Friday night, after a siege of five hours, and all the detached forts are in pos session of the Government. The new Minister of Finance, M. GOUDCHAUX, a Jew, has confirmed all the clerks in their employ ment, and business is going on as usual. The whole of the ensuing year's taxes (notice for the payment of which was issued on Monday) will fall into the hands of the Provisilnal Government, so that they will be well in funds to commence with. The million a month voted for the Civil List has been transferred to the fund for the relief of i the people. The law courts have resumed their sittings (the Cour Royale being called the Cour National), and the Post-office and shops are open. The Palace of the Tuileries is to he appropriated as an asylum for invalid work men. It is not true that the whole of the furniture of the Tuileries was destroyed. It was only the private furniture in the apartments of LOUIS PHILIPPE. The public property was religiously respected. Every good citizen is declared a National Guard, and to them are entrusted the task of preserving order in the city. A man discovered steal ing a silver spoon was shot on the spot. The debtors, the political and female prisoners detained in the various prisons of the capital, have been released, food has been distributed at the hospitals, and the Provi sional Government has issued orders to the bakers and provision merchants to issue rations to the citi zens under arms, for the payment of which the Government will be answerable. The streets are being partially cleared of the barricades, under the direction of the vudents of the Polytechnic School. A portion of the National Guard has been mobilised to guard the frontiers. Several of the armed workmenbsn: been draugllted into it—their pay is thirty sons day. LAMORICIERE will take the command of the srrnl°' the frontier. A Polish Legion has been formed , as a it is generally understood that if other nstincs demand the assistance of France it will not b s withheld. The Bank of France has announced its intention not to limit its discounts, and it has prolonge time for payment of bills falling due ten days lone It has also put down 100,000 f. for the wounded. g et DE ROTHSCHILD has given 50,000 f., and expre ss e d his determination not to leave Paris.

It is also said that grave misunder• standings separate the members of the Provisional Government. We can affirm that the most perfect union has not ceased to exist between the devoted citizens who have accepted the mission of organizi n g. public powers, and of presiding over the establishm ent of the republican constitution now demanded bi almost all the departments." The members of the Provisional Government fi r° firmly resisting all attempts that are being made SG coerce them. The people attempted to force them O accept the red fla g as th e na ti ona l co l our , instead °f the tri-colour. The Presse says— " Five times during the day M. de Lamartine dressed the people assembled under the windows, A the Hotel de Ville.

" At this part of the speech of M. DS LAMANCIra' in that astonishing sitting of sixty hours, in the mid st of an irritated crowd, every one was suddenly affected by his words; hands were clapped, and tears shed' and they finished by embracing him, shaking hi ll hands, and bearing him in triumph. In a momen t after, fresh masses of people arrived, armed wit h sabres and bayonets ; they knocked at the doors they filled the salles. The cry was that Ai was lost ; that the people were about to fire on or stifle the members of the Provisional Government . M. DE LAMARTIXE was called for. He was SW plicated to go once more for the last time to address the people. lie was raised on a step of the staircase , the crowd remained for half an hour without consent' ing to listen to him, vociferating, brandishing arms 0 f all kinds over his head. M. DE LAMARTINE folded his arms, recommenced his address, and finished hi softening, appeasing, and caressing the intelligent and sensible people, and determining them either to withdraw; or to become themselves the safe-guard of the Provisional Government. The Provisional Government has announced tha t the drapeau tricolour is the national flag of the French Republic, and it has published an appeal to the people not to think of abandoning either the Three Colours or the Gallic Cock. The Provisional Government has been proclaimed at Dijon. It was reported at Paris that Neuilly was burnt. Nothing has been heard of the ex-Ministers. TheY were assembled at M. DUCHATEL.B when they hear d of the KING'S abdication, and immediately fled. The KING had, it was Laid, gone to Eu, with the intention of embarking, at Treport, for England. It is said that the QUEEN and the Princesse. escaped with him from the Tuileries. The directors of the Havre Railroad have placed at the direction of the Provisional Government. The officer charged with the care of An•DEL' Kai Ea has been changed. Prince Louis NAPOLEON arrived at Boulogne on Saturday, and immediately set off for Paris to tender his services to the Government. M. LAMAILTINE, with a view to BM such of the ex-Ministers as may fall into the hands of the people, had proposed the abolition of the punishment of death, but his proposal had been rejected. There was a rumour current in Havre yesterday that Louis PHILIPPE was dead ; it was, howeter, not credited. The probability is that he would embark at Treport for Portsmouth. In the cabinet of M. BERTSIOIB, the Aide-de-Camp to Louis PHILIPPE, there was found (on the capture of the Tuileries), the list and number of the troops and their stations in Paris, and a lso the number and stations of the pieces of artillery destined for the defence of the streets, together with a correspondence on the subject betwen the Duc DO MONTPENSIFE and General TIBURCE SEBASTIAI O, showing that the arrangements had been made As early as the 10th February. ARRIVAL OF TIIE DUKE DE NEMOURS IN LONDOI 4 . —The Duke DR NEMOURS, accompanied by his sister the Duchess Of COBURG KOHARY, and by COO/ JARNAC, arrived in London, at the Embassy in Man chester-square, last evening, having landed at Dover yesterday morning. One of his children accom panied him, but his wife, the Duchess DB NEMOURi (cousin of Prince ALBERT) had been lost,: it wins said, in the streets of Paris. He himself escaped in disguise, and had not had time to provide himself with even a change of linen. He knew not what had become of the other members of the Royal Family. N. DELESSERT, the ex-prefect of police, accompanied by Madame DELESSERT and the Duke DR MONTE' nem.° ex-Minister of Marine, have also arrived in London. There is every reason to fear that M. GUIZOT has fallen into the hands of the people. BURNING OF TUE INDIAN MAIL.—It is said that the Indian mail, from England, en route for Mar seilles, was seized by the people, in the neighbour hood of Paris, and burned.
