Without presuming to pronounce a mere panegyric upon that FOURTH ESTATE of which we ourselves are a member, we must be permitted—if only from jus tice to a departed journalist who was for some consi derable time, and until very recently, one of our most distinguished contemporaries,—to make parti cular allusion to a scheme which, according to the prospectus of its projectors, is intended to constitute an act of " public respect and gratitude " to the Press of the United Kingdoms. The scheme is simply a testimonial to the memory of a remarkable man ; in other words, the erection of a monument to comme morate the enterprise, the perseverance, and the intellect of the late Jonx WALTER through whose individual efforts the steam engine was first applied to the printing-press, and through the conta gion of whose example the floating literature of the day was rendered consonant to the demands of an extraordinary age and an unprecedented generation. " Though we have in England," says the prospectus to which we have already referred, and which pro spectus is literally composed of the " re so l u ti ons " carried at a meeting convened in Bloomsbury, on Monday the 28th of February, 1848, with LUXE JAMES HANSARD as chairman,—" Though we have in England," observes this prospectus, " numerous and splendid monuments to poets, philosopkers, states men, heroes, and other great men, not a soli tary stone has yet been raised by the public to the memory of a newspaper proprietor or editor—confessedly the men who give the ' form and pressure to the age in which we live,' and many of whom, in learning, ability, firmness, character, enter prise, and even riches, are comparable with the first names in British history." Such is the language of a resolution emanating from the spontaneous enthu eiasm of a public assemblage. It is conceived, we will acknowledge, in a spirit so emphatically eulo gistic, that we should certainly have abstained from transcribing such expressions in this column of our impression, but that the very sentence itself calls most forcibly to our recollection the fact that in England the man is concealed, is unknown, is forgotten, is absorbed in the journalist. The very employment of a pronoun smacking in variably of a sort of regal plurality is sufficient testi mony that the vice of egotism is incompatible with the duties of editorship. TVe cannot, therefore, be supposed to be actuated in the present instance by any of that moral coxcombry which is contemptible in an individual and impossible in a journalist. We hazard a thousand chances of subjecting ourselves to sarcasm because we would vindicate the dignity of our profession, and commemorate the civic glories of the deceased. Never since the first union of Civilization and Christianity has the press asserted in a more unde niable manner its predominant position in the social edifice than throughout the storms of the present eventful and unparalleled epoch. LestAaTINE, him self a great journalist, has enunciated his Creed of the I r NEW AGE. " Its faith," says he, "is reason, words are its organs, the press its apostle; it will re-make in its image religion, civilisation, society, and legislation : in religion, it requires GOD one and perfect for dogma, eternal morality for symbol, adoration and charity for worship ; in politics, humanity above nationality ; in legislation man equal to man, man the brother of man, Christianity legislated." The Press its Apostle!—it is a doctrine from the poetic and political theology of LAMAILTINE. If current facts were essential to corroborate the hypothesis of this illus trious and philosophic statesman, those facts might be culled in abundance from contemporary occurrences. Throughout the majestic and irresistible movement of Democracy, which is now sweeping over the European continent, one thing has been more con spicuous than another in the peremptory requisitions of the multitude; the people have revealed their appre ciation of the power of the printing-press as the Apos tle of Liberty and the Champion of Humanity—they have in Prussia, in Austria, in Hanover, in Bavaria, in Wurtemberg, in Denmark, in Sardinia, in Tus cany, in Rome, in Modena, in Parma, and in Lom bardy, they have, in short, in the various principalities of the Italian peninsula, and of the Germanic Confe deration, made the establishment of a perfect freedom in journalism the sine qua non for the retention of sovereign authority. Several of the less enlightened rulers have been driven to abdication, expatriation, and incarceration, for the refusal of this amonif other constitutional improvements. In France especially the puissance of the press has been the most vividly demonstrated—at Paris the press has almost reached its apotheosis. In the obscure apart ment of a morning newspaper, in the editor's room of the Reforme, the provisional republic was first de bated, and the names of the Provisional Ministers first written out in a catalogue. Almost every one of the remarkable men installed in the national palace 'of the Hotel de Ville, almost every one of the eminent members of the Provisional Go. vernment of February, were, up to the period of their elevation to the responsibilities of power, labouring in the cause of the people as journalists. FERDINAND FEocox and LEDRU ROLLIN were of the Reforme, ARMAND MARRAST was of the National, LOUIS BLANC was of the Democratie Pacifique, ALBERT was of the Atelier, and LAMARTINE himself was of the Bien Publique. Nor have the upholders of an abso lute and despotic policy been indisposed themselves to employ the stupendous weapon of typography. Moderate reformers, conservatives, innovators, and tyrants, have alike availed themselves of that colossal weapon GUIZOT, in the Journal des Debuts, and occasionally in the Revue des Deur Afondes, ODILON BARYLOT in the TIMERS in the Constitutionned, EMILE GIRAR• DIN i❑ tne Presse, and, at this very juncture, the Emperor .NicuoEAs himself in the uncompromising columns of the Abeille du Nord. Every circumstance tends to disclose still more plainly than heretofore the vast and beneficent, because essentially argumen tative and intellectual, away exercised by the YOURTII ESTATE. Shall not the members of this fourth estate, there fore, receive at least one of the many guerdons of their toil—the guerdon of remembrance ? In other coun tries a journalist is raised to political distinc tion by his very profession. Before the down fal of the Orleans' dynasty the more for tunate wielders of the pen were rewarded with courtesies, with respect, with plaudits in the tribune, with the insignia of rank and the titles of nobility. Since the Revolution of February they have been elevated by acclamation to the exercise of the su preme functions of the Government. None of these adventitious and aristocratic recompenses are required for the Press of England. Rather let the journalists of the country continue to pass away to their graves, as they have done, up to this present time, " unknown and unrewarded," than the journalism of England should lose one iota of its independence ! Rather let the members of the fourth estate be forgotten and neglected, than the hone.ty of their organs become corrupted by " patronage or promotion !" Nevertheless, we cannot but think that the honours, the respect, and the ad miration which are obscured, or rather reserved, during the life-time of such a journalist as JOHN WALTER, of the Times newspaper, may, without any peril whatever, be lavished over his tomb by way of posthumous homage and disinterested commemora tion. Poland is in arms. The insurrection of Warsaw has become aggrandized into a revolution. The whole nation has risen up against its oppressors, the chains of bondage are riven asunder, the sword of vengeance is unsheathed. Other kingdoms have recently reconquered their liberties with compara tive facility, in some instances almost without a struggle, and in all cases with no great amount of bloodshed. But here the case is otherwise, and must necessarily be otherwise, for the Poles have no ordi nary grievances to redress, and no common privileges to re-assume ; on the present struggle depend their rights, their liberties, and their very existence as a free people, as a nation, and even as individuals. Since that fatal day when— " From the great book of nations fiercely rent, Their country's page to Lethe's stream was sent, But sent in vain!"— until the present hour, when their swords are about to reinscribe the name of Poland on the map of Europe, the Poles have been deprived of the com monest rights of men and citizens, their only choice has been between passing their existence in perpetual exile:from their native land, or living at home in mental bondage with the deserts of Siberia in prospect. If the lovers of peace and universal brotherhood can excuse any nation for flinging away the scabbard, surely Poland is that nation. That she must fight, and that right earnestly, for the repossession of her liberty, is indubitable. It is possible, however, as it is most earnestly to be desired, that no other kingdom may become involved in the struggle, and that the insurrection of Warsaw may not excite a European war. The firm attitude of France will go far towards averting such a calamity. In that splendid exposi tion of their intended foreign policy, indited by their most eloquent orator, the Provisional Government of the French Republic declared that rightly under stood their foreign policy signified PEACE. That policy they have hitherto rigidly maintained, and even now this glorious temptation—the prospect of effecting the emancipation of Poland—is not suffi cient to shake their pacific resolution. And this, not because they are indifferent as to the regeneration of Poland, but because they rightly perceive that peace is the true friend to popular rights, and the best pro , muter of popular liberties. It was thus LAMARTINE answered the Polish deputation. Three thousand Poles, resident in France during their exile, recently proceeded in procession to the Hotel de Vile, at Paris, where a deputation of them were - re ceived by the Provisional Government. Their object was threefold ; they came to proclaim to France that the hour of Polish emancipation was arrived, to thank the French for the hospitality they had vouch safed them in their hour of misfortune and more espe cially to solicit the powerful co-operation of France to aid them in effecting the deliverance of their coun try. LAMARTINE, in reply, warmly testified how great was the sympathy of France for Poland. TILE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, " Yes," said he, " since your last disasters, since the day when the sword effaced from the map of nations the last vestige of the existence of Poland, she has not only been the reproach, but a living cause of re morse in the heart of Europe. France owes you not only her best wishes and her tears, she owes you a moral and eventual support in return, brave Poles, for that blood which you have shed for her on all the fields of battle in Europe. Be assured that France will repay you all that she ewes you." Nevertheless, admitting this, he yet re fused in the name of France to unsheathe the sword for Poland. "No !" he exclaimed, " the firm and pacific policy of the Republic succeeds too well for us to wish to alter it. Look at Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, all Southern Germany. Turn your eyes to wards Vienna and Berlin ! What more is necessary? Even the possessors of your own land open to you a path to your country, and call upon you to come and re-establish it in peace ! Be not unjust either to wards GOD, towards the Republic, or towards your selves 1 The sympathising states of Germany, the King of PRUSSIA, are opening the doors of their ci tadels to your martyrs ; the gates of Poland are open, Cracow is enfranchised, the Grand Duchy of Posen has again become Polish. These are the arms which we have given you in one month I Do not demand any more from us. The Provisional Govern ment will not allow its policy to be changed in favour of any foreign people, however much we may in our hearts sympathise with it. We love Poland, but we love France better than all the rest of the earth. At this moment we have in our hands her future destiny, and perhaps that of Europe. This is a responsibility which we will relinquish to none but our own nation. Trust, therefore, in her—trust in what has passed in the last thirty days, which have gained more ground for the Democracy of France than thirty pitched battles. Do not, therefore, either by arms or by agitation, disturb the great work which PROVIDENCE is accomplishing, with no other weapons than ideas, for the regeneration and fraternity of all mankind !" Yes, the last thirty days have gained immeasurably more for the people of Europe than thirty pitched battles. Happy is it for France that her rulers are impressed with these sublime ideas, and happier for Europe that they are resolute in maintaining them. LAMARTINE has now an opportunity of reducing to practice those ennobling and benign principles, the promulgation of which cast so much glory on his " History of the Girondins," and he appears resolved to use that op portunity most advantageously. It is seldom that the poet or the philosopher is enabled to realise his dreamings or to act upon his theories, and still more seldom, when the opportunity is vouchsafed, is it well employed. In this instance, however, we venture to anticipate it will be otherwise. In his history of the first revolution, the present French Minister of Foreign Affairs, while exposing the oppressions which instigated, and the outrages which disgraced, that great movement, combines the love of liberty of the most zealous patriot with the abhorrence of bloodshed of the most anxious philanthropist, and his ministerial con duct is a continued corroboration of those two noble but sometimes antagonistic sentiments. While he maintains these sentiments, and while France unani mously supports him, war, a general war, is not to be apprehended. In this we rejoice most heartily' and if the torch of Freedom may be ignited in Poland without kindling a universal conflagration our exul tation will be complete. Yes, the events of the last thirty days have gained more for liberty than thirty battles. Let U 3 hope these events may be followed up by others of a similarly pacific character. Nevertheless, Poland mustbe emancipated, nay, she will be emanci pated, but not alone by peaceful means, however, Eu rope may stand aloof, and only take part in the struggle in a pacific manner. The example of Europe is already half the battle. France has struck the first blow for Polish independence ; Prussia has happily followed up the attack; while the concessions wrested from Austria were literally " worth ten thousand men." If the example of other kingdoms prove an encouragement to the Poles, the example of Austria must afford a terrible warning to the Russians. We, also, will not be backward in offering our pacific co-operation : our sympathies, our anxieties, our hearty good wishes are with the Poles. England will not be isolated from the glorious coalition ; we, too, will assist, though " neiiker by arms nor agitation," but by our example, by our sympathy, by our approval, and our encouragement, we will assist in forwarding " the great work which PROVIDENCE is accomplishing, with no other weapons than ideas, for the regeneration and fraternity of all mankind." Madrid journals of the 25th hare arrived. Several persons have been arrested, among them an Irish Priest, charged with attempting to get up a republican movement. The Duke and Duchess of MONTrENSIER, hare arrived at St. Sebastian. The Bolsa was closed on the 25th. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. A telegraphic dispatch has been received from Marseilles, announcing that General CAVAIGNAG has refused to accept the office of Minister of War) which has, in consequence, been offered to General CHANG ARNIEN. The Provisional Government having discovered a the clubs for the arrest of LAMANTINE and GARNEga PAGES, have determined to plot among the exalter of organize a civic guard of 1,600 men for the protection of the Government. These ultra-Republicans of the clubs, who pretend to be horrified at the moderation of LAAWITINE are, the majority of them, police spies of the isabout late Governmentto ; and the Provisional Govern ment p ublish a history of their pecu niary and other relations with the Government of Louis PHILIPPE. This will be a most useful pub lication, which will at once teach the French people to distinguish their friends from their foes. Disorders had taken place at Rouen on Tuesday, and a mob of workmen succeeded in breaking open the prison and liberating BLilcusits, the incendiary who had set fire to the railway bridge. The next day they attempted to set ,free other prisoners, but the National Guards and other authorities interfered, dispersed the lawless mob, and restored tranquillity. The Provisional Government has materially re duced the salaries of all public functionaries. The Provisional Government has fixed the Ist of April for the reception of Mr. SMITII O'BRIEN and the Irish deputation. Several of the more ardent Republicans attacked the office of the Presse, seized M. EMILE DE GIRAR. DIN, and threatened to destroy his type. General COURTAIS, the Commandant of the National guard, succeeded, however, in getting them to disperse qui etly, by representing to them that the only effect of destroying the type and machinery would be to throw several men out of employment. They have, however, given the mot d'ordre throughout Paris that the Presse is not to be sold, and the consequece is that it has entirely ceased to circulate in Paris. The Moniteur of this m orning publishes the follow ing, among other decrees, which are important to all connected in trade with Trance : " The Provisional Government having taken cogni zance of the decree of the Ist March, which has pro rogued for ten days the eekteance of commercial bills due frum Feb. 22 to the 25th or March. and considering that the ordinary delay of fifteen days is insufficient in the present circumstances, and that, besides, it is useful to the endorsers to effect without exposure the reimburse ments which weigh upon them; on the report of the Minister of Justice decrees, that the delay of fifteen days granted to holders of bills; is prorogued for fifteen days more, not including the doEisys of distance, that all con servatory acts done previously continue good and avail able. " Done in the Council of Government, March 29, 1848. THE SECOND DECILBE--- " Art. I.—The prorogslion of six months, to which are submitted the reimbursements of the Bons du Tresor, created anterior to February 24, 1848, and not since converted iato Rentes, 5 per cent., is applicable to the endorsers of those bonds, said consequently the rights of the holders against the endorsers cannot be exercised during the duration of the said prorogation. " Art. 2.—After the payment of the interest attached to each bond, such shall be marked with a stamp bear ing these words, • Renewal in capital for six mouths at 5 per ct.'

" Paris, March 28." [Signed by the Members of the rrovisory Government.] MARCH 8i ma. BOURSE-PARIS, THURSDAY, MARCH 30. THREE O'CLOCK -Very little business was transacted to-day, and there was a much slacker attendance at the Bourse than usual ; this probably was caused by its being the Mi•Careme, which is generally held as a jour de fete at Paris, when every one goes into the streets to see the masks. There was no exhibition of the kind to-day, but the weather being uncommonly fine the Bourse frequenters took a holiday, and swelled the crowd on the Boulevards. The French Funds were heavy, both the Five per Cents. and the Threes being 75c. lower than the day before, the former closing at 601. 25c., and the latter at 401. 25c. Bank of France Shares have under gone a ♦ery heavy depreciation, having been done as low as 1,1501., and closing at 1.200 f. Miscellaneous securities have also dropped ; Belgian Fives (1840) are 3f. lower, at 52f. Caisse Hypethicaire 101. lower, at 140 f. City of Paris Bonds sf. lower, at 995 f.; Roman Quatre Canaux, and Spanish Threes remain as they were, at 53f., 775 f., and 21f. Railway Shares are nearly all lower. Orleans have fallen 451., closing at 5101. ; Marseilles 301., at 2151. ; Rouen, 7f. 50c., at 3751. ; Lyons, 5f., at 290 f. ; Northern, 3f. 75e., at 3221. 50c.; Strasburg and Bordeaux, 21. 50c., at 336 f. 25c., and 387 f. 50e. ; Vierzon and Nantes are unaltered, at 220 f. and 330 f.; Havre are 51. higher, at 2051. Everything continues at the Bourse to be done for money only. The charge for cashing a I,ooof. note was lower to-day, being only 151. ; the English sovereign is worth about 261. 50c.; and French gold is at from 65f. to 701.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Vienna Gazette of the 25th March says : "'The address of the English residents at Vienna to the Austrians has excited the deepest emotion among all classes of our capital, and has confirmed the lively sympathy ever prevalent among the educated classes of our country for the noble Britons, those first-born sons of liberty among the great nations of Europe. "The universal joy which this warm and honourable acknowledgment of our services during the events of the late momentous week has excited, is greatly increased by the fact, which we cannot conceal from ourselves, that the English Constitution, with its Conservative funda mental pillars, its inviolable attachment to the Royal dynasty, and the gradual, silent develop ment of public affairs in a legitimate manner, ought to be our model, and shall be kept in view as worthy of our imitation in the new constitutional arrangements of our empire. Therefore we cordially grasp the hand of friendship which has been held out by you, ye brave strangers of the mighty sea-girt Europe, and return our heartfelt thanks that you have led the way to help us to Inter upon the hitherto untrodden path of our newly eehieved liberty, and to encourage us with your pro aound experience, as burghers of a glorious land, which, in these stormy times, has stood firm and unshaken, and deem us worthy of your all-important approbation. We cannot at the same time refrain from expressing our admiration at the political wisdom and indefatigable zeal of those men who now sit in the council of her Britannic Majesty, and wield the destiny of that great empire with such extraordinary prudence, and skill. Once more our cordial thanks aro due to you, ye noble sons of England, who were the first to break silence and to hold out the right hand of fellowship. " May these first tones of the unfettered press of Aus tria penetrate to your blessed island, that secured place of legitimate liberty, and may it bring to your fellow countrymen the happy intelligence that millions of men dwelling on the banks of the Danube, who, for ages had been condemned to silence, had their tongue unloosened and were awakened to new life on the 13th of March." —Vienna Gazette, March 25. The same journal says " The dark spot in the proclamation of the King of Prussia on the 21st March, which we ventured to apply to the German Parliament, has some light thrown upon it by information contained in the Nuremburgh Cor respondent, that a proposition has been made by Berlin that the meeting of the Diet shall be transferred from Frankfort to Potsdam." On the 24th the Prince Count LUDovIG BATTHY.. ANY made known the names of the new Ministers : Interior—BANTALON SZEMERE. Foreign Affairs—Prince CHARLES ESTERHAZY. Finance—Louis KOSSUTH. War—MEszuaos. Communication—Count STEPHEN TZECHENTIL Religion—Baron JOSEPH EOTERO. Trade and Manufacture—GAßßlßL KLANZOL• Justice—FßANz DEAR. The Presburgh Gazette of the 22d contains a de claration of the assembled Diet, stating that the present Diet was not convoked for the purpose of a detailed execution of those projects of law which are indispensable to a national welfare. That, on the contrary, the Chamber of Representatives was persuaded that after it should have legally declared the principles in conformity with which the repre sentative system is to be founded in a Diet to be held at Pesth in the course of a few months, to refer to that Diet the creation of all these laws which relate especially to the guarantees of internal peace and national freedom, and which do not call for immediate measures. That the present Diet deems the following points as demanding prompt attention : "1. The legal determination and consolidation of the new Government system of a responsible ministry. " 2. The manner and procedure of the co-ordination of the Diet, to be shortly held at Pesth, and according to the fundamental principles of the popular representa tive system. "3. The introduction of general taxation, and the equalisation of public burdens upon the inhabitants of the kingdom. "4. The abolition of urbarial relations for private landowners against indemnification by the state. 5. The immediate constitution of the National Guards for the maintenance of internal peace and liberty. " 6. The guarantee for the liberty of the press, with abolition of the censorship, and introduction of trial by jury." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A letter from Kiel, dated March 26, announces the commencement of hostilities between the Danes and the Schelswig Holsteiners at Frederickstadt. It was reported at Kiel that the King of DEN MARL had been killed in an attack on Rendsburg. This report, however, was not believed. BELGIUM. REPORTED REPUBLICAN MOVEMENT. BRUSSELS, MARCH 29.—A telagraphic dispatch announces that a report was circulated at Malines after the arrival of the train from Mokscron, that the Republican body, commanded by Voss, had entered Belgium by the village of Risque a tout ; that Ge neral FLEURY, at the head of a corps of artillery and cavalry, had gone out to meet him.—Le Precurseur, March 29. HAMBURGH MAIL. SCLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. COPENHAGEN, MARCH 25.—11 is Majesty yesterday issued an edict for the abolition of the censorship and for the freedom of the press. The names of the Ministers composing the new Cabinet were also made public. We have now a Burgher Ministry and a Burgher King, who is perfectly of accord with his people, not to let go of Seleswig. The whole of our armed force is equipped. About 12,000 men are to beseige Scleswig. The rage against the Deputies was so boundless, that they were taken from the Palace by water in order to avoid a col lision with the people; our fortresses and ships of-the-line are completely prepared to protect the city in case of an invasion. There is no thought of business of any kind. Government securities and funds T.° nominal. The King was on the very brink of abdication. We, how ever, thought it wisest to yield to the wishes o f th e people, who do make the most exorbitant demands for liberty. The aristocratic party . hang . their heads down. Many who are high in office will resign. The German Chancery is closed, The military veterans are not a little indignant that a captain is placed over them. Captain Tschering posi tively refused to accept the portefeuille of war unless carte blanche were given him, which was accordingly granted. He is a high ultra-Dane and will certainly not make any concessions. Four hundred men came up from the country to day, and are quartered in the city. We are, in the gre a t es t anx i e ty to know what steps will be taken by the Deputies from Holstein if matters do not turn out well. The steam-boat navigation will be stopped, and trade will suffer yet more. Everything here is quiet, not . withstanding the daily pop u l ar assem bli ng . N e i t h er military nor police were visible last Tuesday, when 30,000 Burghers went to the palace TO DEMAND liberty and a change of the Ministry—not to request it. It was an awful sight. Hvidt is the friend of the people, but he intends to withdraw from the Ministry. AALBURG, MARCH 25.—Denmark is getting ready for war on a large scale. The yearly resource has been called in for our battalion, and will probably march to morrow for the south.—Hamburgh Borsen Halle, March 28. RENDBBURG, MARCH 28.—Military preparations are being made at Rendsburg. A patent was issued this morning for the convocation of the United Diet of Scleswig-Hulstein for the 3d of April. The Provisional Government has divided its labours as follows :—The Prince of Augustenburg, the War Department ; Beseler, President, without portefeville ; Count Reventlow, !Foreign Affairs and the Interior; Bremer Justice; Schmidt, Finance Manufac tures, Customs, POst•office. Several of the surrounding districts have declared in favour of the Provisional Government. Diplomatic re lations have been opened with German Princes for assistatioo, for troops, arms, and ammunition. The Provisional Government has abolished the poll -tax by an edict ; it realises about 300,000 francs. KIEL, MARCH 27.—Two steamers have been sent this afternoon to Copenhagen. The guard-ship stationed at Altona has been seized by the Provisional Government. It is asserted that the captain had intended to sink it.— Haniburgh Borsenhalle, March 28. STOCKHOLM, MARCH 21.—The tranquillity of our capital has been seriously interrupted during the last few days. On the 18th, towards evening, an immense mob, which h a d b een summoned several days previously by placards, proceeded, at the close of a reform banquet, with the members of which they, however, appear to to have had no connexion, to the Brumkeberg Market, and entered the city, where they commenced break ing the windows. The military, who were called out to restore order, were received with vollies of stones, and they were at last forced, in self defence„ after several soldiers had been seriously wounded to fire, by which many of the people were killed and wounded. The King himself was obliged to ride be tween the disorderly rabble ; and about one o'clock in the morning peace was comparatively restored. Similar scenes were repeated on the 19th, and the military were again compelled to make use of their arms. The Altonbladt says, that it was yesterday determined in a Council of Ministers, at which the King presided, that, in case of a renewal of disturbances, the most extreme measures should be resorted to, and that can non should be drawn up. There has not, however, been any further breach of the peace, with the exception of some mutinous meetings. About fifty persons have been arrested. Ten or twelve people were killed, and between seventy and eighty wounded. A good deal of uncertainty prevails respecting the origin.—.Haniburgh Borsenhalle, March 28. Answers have been received here from Berlin and Hanover to the requisition for a supply of military for Holstein, The troops aro to assemble in our vici nity, but they aro Rot to bo disposable till after the answer shall have been received from the Diet St Frankfort. It appears that the Prussian troops who are expected for the support of the movement in the Duchies are to assemble at Havelberg, whence they will probably be transported direct by water to Altone. The postal intercourse between the Duchies and Denmark will, for the present, not he impeded, the Provisional Government having declared that uo change shall be made with regard to the mails passing in transit through the Duchies between Denmark and foreie countries. No steam-boat communication, however, Is to take place for the present between Copenhagen and Kiel. The communication is to be via Lubeck.--" Hamburgh Borsenhalle, March 28. ALToNA, MARCH 27.—The Burghers have resolved to form an armed protective force, for the prevention of all disturbances of the peace. The exercises of the volunteers commenced yesterday' , and were to continue every day. To-day severol hundred volunteers are to march for Rendsburg.—liumburgh Correspondent, March 28. PRINCE METTERNICIL—The family of the Prince arrived at Breslau, from Moravia, on the 20th. Thei are at the residence of the Countess Sander, the dough' ter of the Prince, whose husband has entered the Na' tional Guard. A letter from Dresden of the 26th says Prince Metternich was here last night. He arrived frets Bohemia strictly incog., and set out this morning by the early train for Leipzic, where he does not intend to stay, but will proceed from the last station to SchenditS , whence he will proceed with the next train via Mar deburg and Hamburgh to England. He put up at the the Stadt Wiene. Having admitted the landlord into his secret, the latter found it necessary to secure the protec tion of the officers of the Civic Guard, who, upon being questioned, pledged his honour for the safety of the Prince, and the inviolability of his secret, until he should have taken his departure. The Prince was entered 1 0 the visitors' book under the name of Mr. Von Meyer, with wife and servants, a landed proprietor of Grata, which has been duly printed in the public list of arrivals this day.—Hamburgh Correspondent, March 28. Very little business was done on the Bourse to-day in exchange, there were a few transactions in milt's,' shares. AUSTRIAN FUNDS.—TIINNA, Mlzen 11. 5 per Cent.

Yes, France has risen in her might, Her Liberty has now no foe; Manuel, to thy prophetic sight This vision rose long, long ago. We saw this giant people rise, Had visions of the promised land, Why Moses-like wert ta'en away, Nor left to join our holy band. Why wart not left to win the race, My poor, poor friend, I'd fain embrace. Victor in combats most sublime, When each true heart sought aid from other, Thy thoughts were yet of m• and mine, My own loved friend, my dearest brother ; Most sad borne down by Despots pride, Tho pride of rank, the pride of place, " Vice la Republique," still we cried, My poor, poor friend, I'd fain embrace. Since in the glorious Tennis Court The conquering people seised the helm, As flows the blood into the heart, Have flowed the nations to our realm ; In that Book where w•e find the tate Recorded of the human race, The proudest page is forty•eight. My poor, poor friend, I'd fain embrace. Empire by Royalty was rendered A sterile, vast, and barren waste. On quicksands built—by lightning blasted— The Throne was shivered—all was past. Vainly we sought fer its foundations— We found a free and noble race. France will regenerate the nations. My poor, poor friend, I'd fain embrace. The great Republic still will last ; It shall be, Yes ! yet still I weep O'er they last words—" Lament the dead, Who in their cold graves ever sleep." To sleep, alas I when France has risen, A giant girded for the race, When most she needs thy aid, poor friend, My poor, poor friend, I'd fain embrace. Glory to thee, victorious France, Thinking of him I love the best, Frenchmen are brothers now, and I Would fain press all to this old breast. An old man bowed 'neath old men's fears, An old man's rest should end my race; My blood is cold, but I've warm tears, Dear People, whom I'd fain embrace. J.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. The Prussian State Gazette of the 28th says— " The magistrates have issued a proclamation stating that in order to prevent any misunderstanding, they have been commanded to make known that admission into the mounted burgher guard involves the condition of the possession of a horse, as well as the equipment and the maintenance of the horse at the expense of the indi vidual." The Gazette de Prusse, under date of the 27th, pub lishes the following article : " The German Congress will not take place, for in these times of trouble the Sovereigns must remain amongst their subjects. Nevertheless, the Deputies of many German states, viz., Wurtcmburg, Baden, Hesse Darmstadt, and Nassau, have arrived at Berlin for the purpose of presenting a project analogous to that of Prussia, and in conjunction with the Minister of the King of Saxony at the Court of Berlin, the following points have been agreed on : " First. It is necessary that one and a sole direction, under a federal chief to be chosen, should be given to the whole Confederation. It is necessary also that there should be an Upper Chamber, composed of members of the Diet or their delegates ; and a second Chamber of Deputies of the nation, sent by each federal state. The attributions of this federal Parliament should be : " A federal military administration, and the arming of the German population. "The reestablishment of a federal court of justice. " The establishment of a uniform legislation in all matters concerning domicile right of settlement, system of proceedings, penal and commercial laws, &c. " Lastly, the adoption of a uniform system of duties, of commerce, of money, of weights and measures, of railroads, &c. " And in order to ensure that the Confederation is represented in a proper manner out of the respective countries, seventeen deputies have been nominated to assist at the Diet." M. DAHLMAN has been nominated for Prussia. A grand meeting of delegates from different parts of Germany was held at Heidelberg, in the grand duchy of Baden, on the 26th instant. The meeting was rather a popular demonstration than a delibera tive council. The Assembly was addressed by the leading members of the Liberal faction in mild and energetie language, the idea of a Republic was re jected, but the real discussion will not be opened till the Diet meets at Frankfort. The Augsburgh Gazette says :—" The King of PRUSSIA. declared that he would place himself at the head of Germany during the days of danger. The King of PRUSSIA and his people-15 millions of Ger • mans—offer themselves as a powerful centre, around which the German princes and nations are summoned to unite. May this act of devotedness to the cause of German nationality be received with the confi dence it merits. Prussia has changed her banner and broken her alliances. Prussia has become Ger many, and calls all Germans to a free union. Why should the German States assemblies hesitate a mo ment to unite with the Prussian Diet, which, when it was sitting alone, was an admirable representation of a truly German Parliament ? Why should they not, in the name of the nation, make closer the ties of German unity ?" But the question is not viewed in the same way everywhere. A meeting of more than 3,000 persons took place at Mayence, in which the Deputy ZEITZ denounced the proclamation of the King of PRUSSIA in a long speech, which was cheered enthusiastically. On the other hand, many notable inhabitants of Leipsic have prepared a petition to the Saxon Go vernment, which runs as follows : " The last proclamation by the King of Prussia con cerning the reformation of Germany has made a bad im pression upon the petitioners. The union of all Germans on the basis of a perfect equality, and of the liberty al ready prepared by the German Government, with the assent of the nation, is again put in question by this pro clamation, by which it seems to appear that the Sove reigns and the States assemblies have nothing left but to assemble round the Prussian Diet, if they wish to co operate for the re• organization of Germany. We hope the Prussian nation will not partake of this opinion. But, at all events, we consider as an imperious necessity that all other German States manifest the same views publicly, and that the basis of a free and equal union be maintained. We hope also that the Saxon Government will take without delay the necessary measures for the same purpose of protesting against the views which seem to be disclosed by the aforesaid royal proclamation." The Governor of Silesia, who had become ex tremely obnoxious in consequence of his oppressive conduct towards the peasantry of that province, has received his dismissal from the Government. The German Jews, inhabitants of Posen, imitating the conduct of their Polish brethren, have formed an association for the maintenance of public order and tranquillity. In pursuance of the declaration of the King of PRUSSIA to the Duke of SLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, which was published on the 25th inst., the following day upwards of 20,000 troops marched towards the northern frontier, the Guards forming the greater portion of the army. All the necessary arrange ments with the Goverments of Hanover and Bruns wick have been completed, and they will act in all respects in concert with Prussia. From Silesia very distressing and alarming news has been received of insurrections among the peasantry, and very fearful details are given of the ravages and excesses that have been already committed. At six o'clock on the evening of the 26th news was received at Berlin that the General commanding at Posen had placed the citadel in a state of defence —that the cannon were pointed, and that he was about to bombard the town. The alarm was so great at Posen that the merchants were removing their goods into the cellars. The report is said to have originated:in the commandant having removed all his furniture and other property from his hotel and sent them to the citadel. The deputation from Posen, which was still at Berlin, awaiting an answer from the KING, mentioned the matter to Count SCHWERIN, who said the commandant would only be doing his duty if he was compelled to fire upon the town. One of the deputies replied that in such case the people must combine together, and oppose force to force. Subsequent accounts state that the peace of Posen had not been disturbed, and that trauquillity prevailed there. The Polish General MIRROSLAWSKI passed through Cologne yesterday, on his way to Paris, in order to invite his countrymen residing there to return to Posen. He has secured an a ssurance from the Prus sianwill be afforded territories. tsoianthGeiorvpeasrnsiangeentthtrhoaut every facility Prussian A rumour was current at Cologne of the death of the King of HANOVER, but it did not gain credence. WURTEMBERG. The town of Wurtemberg has been thrown into consternation and movement, by the bruited approach of a band of democrats from France. A. letter from Tubingen, of the 24th, estimates them at 20,000; one from Ulm, of the 25th, at 40,000. These exagge rated statements have roused all Wurtemberg to arms, and spread the greatest alarm. The alarm is completely unfounded, however, and an official order, dated Carlsruhe the 26th instant, makes a statement to that effect. BAVARIA. Letters from Munich state that Dr. Willacu goes as Bavarian envoy to the Diet. Prince WALLEBSTEIN was not to take office, but to go on a foreign mission.
