THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVE IVI NG, MARCH 24, 1848. GE RMAN Y. PRUSSIA. Accounts have been received from Berlin of the 22d instant, at which date the city continued tranquil. The Prussian State Gazette of the 22d publishes the following decrees : " BERLIN, MARCH 21. ~ ROYAL AMNESTY. " I have already announced yesterday that I have cordially forgiven and forgotten everything. In order that no doubt may remain that I include all my subjects in this act of forgiveness, and because I earnestly desire that the approaching eventful future of our Fatherland may not be saddened by any painful retrospect, I hereby announce full pardon to all who have been accused or condemned for political offences, or for misdemeanours committed against the laws which reeulate the press. " Tho Minister of Justice, Von Uhden, is charged with the immediate execution of this amnesty. " FREDERICK WILLIAM. " Berlin, March 20." " All tribunals, and the Procurator-General of the Royal Court of Appeal at Cologne, are charged with the speedy execution of the above royal amnesty; and in conformity therewith to set at liberty all persons who are under arrest, unless they are at the same time in custody for other transgressions or crimes. " VON UHDEN, Minister of Justice. allowed the petitions fur e h r a l v i n e , M I k a e r w c s e 2o t , hliBs4. day y ' pardon sent in by our Ministers of Justice Von Savigny and Von Uhden, and also by our Minister Count Von Stolberg, prior to the amnesty of the 19th instant. I have appointed Dr. Borneman, Minister of Justice, and have also summoned M. Camphausen, President of the Chamber of Commerce, to give me henceforth his valuable aid as one of my Ministers. " The functions of the ex-Ministers will be discharged by them until their successors shall have been defini tively appointed. "FREDERICK WILLIAM. " Berlin, March 20, 1848." The State Gazette says—" The royal amnesty for political and press offences is circulated by thousands, and is everywhere received with the greatest demon stration of joy. Yesterday evening the following proclamation was issued : " His Majesty the King, in conformity with the wish of the inhabitants of Berlin, has been pleased to allow the arming of the burghers, and the following pro visional arrangements have been adopted by the under signed : " 1. That a burgher guard be organized. "2. That the burghers and resident foreigners who have received letters of naturalization take part in the same. "3. That the expenses of the equipment be defrayed by the city. "4. The Schutzengilde are summoned instanter, and a given number of burghers are to be armed forthwith. "5. The necessary regulations respecting the organi zation of this force will be issued with all speed in the course of a few days. " Vorr MINUTOLL " HOLL BEIN. " GLANE. " HAACK. "Da. WOENIGER. " DRORANNE KRUG. " Berlin, March 19, 1848." The arming of the students has also taken place this morning. In various parts of the city bowls are placed, into which numerous donations are put by the passers by for the widows and orphans of those who fell on the 18th and 19th of March. The Prussian Gazette of the 22d of March says— " The orphans and widows of the heroes who fell on the 18th and 19th of March, and many who were severely wounded and incapacitated from work, are in the greatest distress. It is a sacred duty to aid them in this time of need, which will, we are sure, be gladly fulfilled by their fellow-citizens." The following narrative of the events of the 18th and 19th, in Berlin, will be found interesting:— " The number of troops quartered at Berlin, including the different detachments called in from the neighbour hood, was not under 20,000. It was against this large boly of soldiery that an unarmed population commenced the struggle. We say an unarmed population, as they only armed themselves by degrees, as beet they could. The people defended themselves from behind their bar ricades, firing from the windows of the houses, and from the roof-tops, at times taking the offensive. The fight raged hottest in the Friederich and Konigstrasse, and in the intervening space between them. It was also in these streets that most blood was shed. " A little after one o'clock on the 18th, an immense crowd assembled before the King's palace to thank the King for the concessions he had made to the popular wish. Thousands of voices were raised in his honour, and a sentiment of joy pervaded th• multitude, when some of the people nearest the palace demanded that the cavalry drawn up in front of it should depart, and the protection of the palace be intrusted to the Burgher Guard, which had been organised two days previously. This demand W Rii not complied with. " Instead of conciliating the people by compliance, the cavalry drew their sabres and charged, clearing the square. Two shots were fired from behind. The rage of the people at this wanton act knew no bounds. They rushed down the Konigstrasse, and in an incredibly short space of time every man had a weapon in his hand. The armoulers' shops were ransacked, the pavement torn up, barricades erected. A revolution bad com menced. The tocsin sounded, and all Berlin was up and stirring to a man. " Meantime, detachment after detachment of troops took possession of the principal points in the city. A large body of infantry and artillery was drawn up in regular line of battle before the palace. A murderous fire of musketry was opened upon the people in the different streets, to which they responded as vigorously as they could. Platoon firing, the sweeping sound of grape and heavy artillery, mingled with the rattling of the drums, was heard from ono end of the Prussian capital to the other. The city had all the appearance of a field of battle. The city remained lit up all through the night, notwithstanding it was a splendid moonlight. Many of the officers of the troops were picked off by the people, who deliberately singled them out from the windows. The splendid discipline of the Prussian troops, which is perhaps inferior to none, kept them together, aided to which was a feeling for their own safety. Some ocular witnesses, however, affirm that some detachments refused to fire on the reople, unless first attacked by them. "To add to the general confusion, it was reported that the royal foundry was in flames. A body of armed stu dents, followed by the burgher militia, now forced the prisons and sot the inmates at liberty. "The insurrection gradually took a moat formidable character. The whole of the population joined in it. Some heroic acts of courage are reported to have taken place on the barricades, the height of which was extra ordinary. " On the morning of the lath the city presented a very warlike appearance. The pavement was taken up in nearly :every street; heaps of bricks and rubbish thrown on the heads of the soldiery made the streets nearly impassable. The Imperial colours, black, red, and gold, and here and there the blood-red flag, floated from the top of every barricade. " The troops were resting on their arms, by no means vanquished, though the people claimed the victory, as at eleven orders were issued for the troops to withdraw from the city. " The people showed the greatest respect for life and private property. No excesses were committed. The loss on the part of the soldiery was considerable; the in surgents had the advantage of fighting under cover. One thing is certain, fighting would have continued if the soldiers had not been withdrawn, as the concessions an nounced by the King were not known to one half of the people, nor did the other attach much faith to them. "At about two o'clock an immense multitude, bare headed, followed an open cart containing the bodies of those who had fallen in the Konigstrasse. The cortege advanced slowly, the men all joining in the chant, Jesus, thou art our trust.' The funeral procession halted be fore the palace. The King stepped out on the balcony. The people requested him to descend, which he complied with, uncovering himself as a tribute of respect to the men who had fallen. The dead bodies were then de posited in the lower rooms of the palace. " A few moments afterwards another imposing scene took place. A large multitude, headed by the Presi dent of Police, had entered one of the courts of the palace in deep silence. Suddenly, as if by common accord, they struck up the hymn, ' Let us render thanks to thee, 0 God!' After which they raised a tremendous shout of triumph, and demanded the King to appear. The King, however, was at that moment in another balcony, announcing to the people that he had granted a national guard, and entrusted his person to their protection. " The civic guard was soon organized, and tranquil lity was gradually restored. Some acts of retaliation occurred. The house of a Major Priesz, an unpopular man, was sacked, as also the house of M. Keshore, director-general of contributions. The royal iron foundry and the riding -school are burnt down, and one of the barracks is a heap of ruins." In Rhenish Prussia the events of Berlin have created a terrible commotion. A meeting of the people, at which the three Deputies who had the night before returned from Berlin took part, was held on the 20th at Cologne. A fresh address was drawn up, and presented to the President of the province. It was couched in these terms :-- " Sire—The letters patent of the 18th do not in any way answer the wishes of the people—wishes as just as they are necessary, and which have been admitted already by the greater part of the Princes of the other German States. The inhabitants of Cologne claim— " The right of meeting for political purposes. " A representation of the people (not an assembly of the States) with power of voting—responsibility of Ministers. "An armed force from amongst the people, not to replace the landweh r ,' d est i ne d to act solely against foreign enemies, but to take the place of a civic guard for supporting the constitution promised, and the per sonal rights of the citizens. " A general amnesty for political offences. " Right of trial by jury in all political offences and offences of the press. . " Equality, civil and political, for all citizens, without reference to creeds; the realization of these wishes; the immediate dismissal of the present Ministers, and the THE THIRD EDITIONS "THE SUN" CONTAIN, AS USUAL, THE LATEST PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE, AN D ALL OTHER NEWS UP TO TIIE HOUR OF POST.

I . • 3110 S liarr - Otioning LONDON, FRIDAY, MARCII 24, 1848 Last evening the Bill, introduced by the Hon. Gentleman the Representative of Manchester, for the total and immediate abolition of the Game Laws, was very innocently and unintentionally burked by the Hen. and Learned Member for Bolton. In a fit of mental abstraction, Dr. BOWRING moved the ad journment of the House—seeing that the question of the adjournment of the discussion had just been negatived by an attenuated majority of five, and being solicitous, as he generously acknowledged, that the convenience of the Legislature should not be disregarded. The amended motion was of course carried with a certain enthusiasm, and poor Dr. BownING received the cordial felicitations of his opponents, to his excessive chagrin and un utterable amazement. He had overleaped his mark—instead of adapting the wishes of the dissentients to the aspirations of Mr. BRIGHT, he entirely thwarted the intentions of the latter, and threw over for some considerable time the project of the Honourable Representative of Manchester. Howevermuch we may seriously re gret the blunder which has led to this lamentable procrastination of a very necessary improvement in our criminal code, it was impossible not to view with some amusement the hobble, or rather quandary, into which the Member for Bolton plunged himself so magnanimously overnight. It was what WRIGHT might have called, in the interlude about SHAKSPERE'S birthplace, " a regular sell," and had an effect as ludi crous as the most laughable equivoque in MLLIERE. For several reasons we are disposed to regret the postponement of this most exigent question of inno vation. First, because the evil which the Bill of the Hon. Representative of Manchester would dissipate is every day accumulating ; secondly, because that evil is not only of a pecuniary and physical character, but tends in like manner to the extreme demoralisa tion of the community; thirdly, because the penalties inflicted according to the present atrocious sys tem for the preservation of game are more than ever without the most shadowy palliation ; and fourthly, because last evening there were several admirable remarks delivered by Mr. BRIGHT himself, as well as by those who coincided with him in the gist of his proposition. We will not avail ourselves of the interrupted debate of yesterday for the purpose of recapi tulating all the more forcible, but hacknied, argu ments against this execrable remnant of feuda lity ; we will not call to recollection the old and un answerable references to the hunting days of Nismon, or to that primeval chapter in Genesis, in which the beasts of the field, and the birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, are delivered over to the human race without discrimination ; we will not debate upon the miseries of incarceration incurred by poachers of all ages, and the graduated descent of the victims of this infamous scheme of legislation from such excusable infringements of the law to the most reprehensible acts of villany and licentiousness. These facts are already notorious ; they are as notorious as that saying of Mr. Fox, in 1797, " That the infraction of these laws prepared criminals for the infraction of all other laws," or as the report of the Committees of 1818, of 1823, of 1828, and of 1845. Fresh illustrations come more forcibly than the very wisest, if those wisest have been weakened by frequent repetition. Such illustrations we mean as were recounted last night by Mr. BRIGHT himself, in a speech of remarkable ability, as well as those which were introduced to the attention of the Commons in the sententious and forcible observations of Mr. W. P. Woon. Three of the examples mentioned by the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Manchester deserve particular attention. First, the murderous fight of HARRIS and MEADOWS with GRANT, the game keeper of the Marquis of AYLESBURY. Secondly, the chasing of THOMPSON and WALLACE with bloodhounds by the keepers of Mr. BEAUMONT, of Northumberland ; and, thirdly, the shoot ing of DAVID DAVIE 3, assistant gamekeeper at Cardiff, by a party of three poachers. There is reason, therefore, to abhor the present mode of encouraging the sports of English gentlemen, if only because it leads to the revival of such devillish means of detection as that of the bloodhound. Another illustration of the cruelties resulting from the continued enforcement of the laws against poaching was given shortly afterwards by the Hon. Gentleman the Member for the city of Oxford. The incident was simply this :—A boy, aged sixteen, was brought up at the sessions at Woodbridge, in Suffolk, charged with stealing; and it was stated by several farmers that because, three years ago, the prisoner had broken some pheasants' eggs, they had received directions from all the adjacent squires (their land lords) not to give him any employment—abandoning the unfortunate wretch to earn his livelihood by petty larceny. This is the justice—this is the mo rality—this is the humanity of this degrading and atrocious system—a system which sacrifices the hap piness of the peasantry to the chances of a Latta, and the morals of the labouring population to the osten tation of property. The true character of the great revolutionary movement now affecting the whole of Continental Europe is sufficiently attested by one very significant fact. In every kingdom in which that movement has as yet made itself vi,ible the first demand insisted on by the people, the first boon conceded by the Govern ment, has invariably been the liberty of the Press. France it is hardly necessary to enumerate—France where the editor of a newspaper has become one of the chief members of the Provisional Government. In Prussia, the KING, anxious to forestal the Popular demand , , and rightly surmising what demand was likely to be the first and the most eagerly sought for, voluntarily established the freedo m of the press throughout his dominions. In Austria—in Austria!—the first paragraph of the Estreaoa's recently published proclamation declares that " liberty of the press is allowed in the form under which it exists in those countries which have hitherto enjoyed it." In Bohemia and other king doms proclamations to the same effect have been issued ; in Saxony a similar one has been decided on. In fact, as we have already said, wherever the great liberal movement has manifested itself, there the freedom of the Press has been almost immediately se cured. This fact is, to our thinking, a sufficient evidence of the spirit which has inspired and swayed the present European Revolution—th e portentous but pacific Revolution of 1848. It is an evidence that the people are not only resolved on ob taining their rights, but that they have learned to ap preciate what their rights really are. They no longer endeavour to prove and exercise their power by re sorting to violence and bloodshed, neither are they covetous of the empty pageantry and pride attending our own immediate interference in State affairs. They have happily learned the folly of such desires by the harsh teachings of experience. Now grown wiser, they only seek to obtain less imposing, but not less important benefits. They demand, and with an earnestness , which admits of no refusal, a concession of their just privileges and prerogatives—a free constitution and a liberal form of government, but more especially they demand that privilege which ensures the possession of all the rest—the privilege of being honestly repre sented by a Press unfettered by any censorship. Were we inclined to doubt the efficacy and excellence of such a mode of representing popular opinion, our doubts would be speedily dissipated on witnessing the eagerness with which every nation awakening to a consciousness of its nationality has insisted upon obtaining it, and those doubts would be furthermore dispelled on remarking how resolutely and obstinately every despotic and unjust Government has hitherto refused such a concession. It is natural that such a Government should so refuse, for such a concession would be the signature of its own death-warrant, at least as a despotic and unjust Government. And it is equally natural that every nation resolved to assert its independence should insist upon obtain ing that concession, for the establishing the freedom of the press is its manumission from the Flavery under which it had hitherto groaned, and the magna charta of the liberty it desires to enjoy hereafter. But in the present day it is not necessary to dilate on the importance of a free Press : in this country, at least, it has long been duly recognised and univer sally acknowledged—it has become as essential to us as our national existence. It is now hardly possible to conceive the state of society in England before newspapers existed, or even during the long period in which they remained in their infancy. How could society now exist without a daily chronicle of the world's affairs ? But, more especially, how could political measures be equitably carried on—how could the welfare of the community be promoted, and our national liberties secured—if there were no means of exposing the wants and wishes of the poor, and no means of keep ing a check upon the doings of the powerful ? It is hardly possible for us now to realise such a supposition. It is hardly possible for us now, in turning over the pages of Parliamentary intelli gence which fill the daily papers, to be able to under stand such a state of affairs as that of which HORACE WALPOLE, if we mistake not, tells us, when notes of speeches in Parliament were taken down in secret, and published a considerable time afterwards in a mutilated form and without the real names of the speakers. Of the political morality of that period, when unrestrained by a supervising press, that same HORACE WALPOLE furnishes us with a correct specimen, when, in making a comparison be tween his father, Sir ROBERT WALPOLE, and a Ministerial predecessor, he observes, in allusion to their practice of purchasing support, "that while his predecessor only dipped his finger in corruption, Sir ROBERT plunged up to the whole elbow I" But, a s we have already said, it is wholly unnecessary now to demonstrate the vast and inestimable in fluence exercised by a free Press. Our object is rather to call attention to the convincing proof of the liberal, the moderate, the practical nature of the Revolution in Germany afforded by the simultaneous establishment of liberty of the Press in Vienna and Berlin, and the greater part of the minor kingdoms and states. It is in Germany, more especially, above all other nations, that the Press should be invested with peculiar power and privileges. The poet CAMPBELL, in his very earnest and animated " Ode to the Germans," in which he imagines "the spirit of Britannia" inciting her sister Allemania, " to burst the tyrant's chain," declares that " Hallow'd thrice the band Of our kindred hearts shall be, When your land shall be the land Of the free—of the free !'' more especially observes as additional incitement to the assertion of Allemanian liberty : " The Press's magic letters, That blessing ye brought forth, — Behold ! it lies in fetters, On the soil that gave it birth Happily, that indignant reproach is no longer true. The land of GUTTEXIBURG may now justly exult in its most glorious invention—the Press—free from the restrictions which have hitherto disgraced it, in its own fatherland. Madrid journals and letters to the 17th have ar , rived. A private letter says that the public attention in Madrid is now almost exclusively engrossed by two subjects—viz., the expected arrival of the Duke and Duchess MONTPENSIER in Madrid, and the renewed attempt on the part of MARIA CHRISTINA to procure the capitalization of her pension. " The sending for the Duke DR MONTPENSIER to Madrid," says this letter, "is considered as an insult offered to Spain, and men of patriotism are at work, night and day, to avenge it. No one would be astonished, if, on the day of the entry of the Duke of MONTPENSIRR into Madrid, an explosion should take place ; notwithstand ing the 30,000 bayonets of NARVAEZ. It is also known that MARIA CHRISTINA is negotiating with NARVAEZ, MoN, and PIDAL for the capitalization of her dowry of 3,000,000 of reels, by the immediate pay ment to her of 100 millions. She declares that she has lost thirty millions of francs by the French Revo lution, but that is not much for a woman who has invested in the English funds above 120,000,000 of francs. NARVAEZ and MoN ask twenty- fire per cent. commission for the job. PIDAL, who is some what less usurious, offers to undertake it for ten per cent. The report of these shameful transactions has caused a great sensation in the public mind in Spain, and there is every probability that the people will be at length aroused, and will expel from their territory the authors of these scandals.

The Lord Chancellor, after disposing of the unop posed lunatic petitions on his paper, proceeded to hear uppeal motions. THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. THE REV. ALEXANDER IIUNRO AND OTHERS. Mr. J. RUSSELL, in consequence of the time which he obtained from his Lordship on Wednesday, applied to the Court to discharge the order it nominated this day week, staying the execution of the decree pronounced by the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, removing Mr. Munro from the Ministry of the Scotch Presbyterian Church in St. Peter's-square, Manchester, and also dis placing all the trustees of that church, except two gentlemen of the name of Shepherd and Grant. It appeared from the statements in the affidavits in support of the present application, that the moment information was received in Manchester of the decision pronounced by the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, that Mr. Munro and his congregation determined that divine service should not be performed in the church on the Sunday following, but in the large room of the Mechanics' Institution. It appeared also that Mr. Grant, one of the trustees, who was allowed to remain by the decree of the Vice-Chancellor, upon being refused possession of the chapel by Mr. Munro, entered the chapel by force, but subsequently relinquished the possession he had obtained, upon the receipt by the electro-telegraph on Friday last that the Lord Chancel lor had that morning suspended the execution of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce's decree. The LORD CHANCELLOR, without hearing Mr. Rolt and Mr. Selwyn, who appeared to oppose the motion, said that he could never sanction the course that had been pursued by Mr. Grant, who, without consulting his co-trustee (Mr. ,Shepherd), or asking the leave of the Court, had taken forcible possession of the church. He thought he should be doing great injustice if, after the adopting of such a course by one trustee, he listened to the present application, and, such being his opinion, he must dismiss the ,present application, and order the parties making it to pay the costs. The Court then proceeded to hear appeal motions. SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) HITCIIIN V. BATCHELOR. This was an actio❑ to recover 121. 13s. on two promis sory notes. Defendant pleaded that he did not make the note, but evidence having been given, proving the fact, a Verdict was given for the amount. CHICORY AND ANOTHER V. MORTON. This was an action to recover 81. 7s. 9d. for goods sold. The plaintiff's are wire-workers in Hatton-garden, and the defendant a shopkeeper at Shoreham. The de fondant pleaded that he was not indebted, but evidence was adduced to prove, not only the delivery of tho goods, hut an admission of the debt, and a promise to pay. Verdict for the full amount. CAUTION TO JURORS.—There was considerable diffi culty this morning in forming a jury, so many jurors being absent, and in two cases the excuse was that the parties had gone into the country. Mr. HUDSON, the chief officer, said that that was not a sufficient excuse, and they must make it convenient to come to town on the next Court day, or they would be fined, as their absence was very unfair upon the others. ADMIRAL HONYMAN.—The death of Admiral of the Blue Robert lionyman, at Paris, is reported in the naval circles, dissolution of the Assembly of the States, after adopt ing a law of e'ection upon the most liberal basis, are the only means of attaining the objects set out in the letters patent, of re-establishing order within, and of rendering our country powerful without.—Cologne, March 20." In the afternoon an immense assemblage of citizens wearing the cockade of the German States, went, with the Archbishop's authority, to the cathe dral and hoisted the German flag, red, black, and gold. No disturbance took place. Arms were delivered to the citizens, and the Civic Guard is organizing. Serious disturbances occurred at Aix la Chapelle on Sunday and Monday, but the troops, who acted with admirable forbearance, eventually restored ti anquillity. The Municipal Council on Monday issued the following proclamation : " PROCLAMATION. "Fellow Citizens,—Disorders of a most painful na ture took place in our city last night, by which property and personal security were endangered. " These riots, however, were not caused by the burghers in general, for they have ever manifested a love of order, but, as we can testify, they were instigated by a small number of malevolent persons. " Fellow citizens of every rank, we adjure you to act with all energy to avoid a recurrence of these scenes. Let each exert his influence for the prevention of evil. Let parents and masters especially consider it their bounden duty to prohibit their children and servants from being present at scenes of riot and insubordination. Follow citizens, the time of political freedom, that period so long and earnestly desired, has arrived. We stand on the confines of a better era ! Let not the opening be sullied by tumults. _ •" Let Us prove that, while we desire civil and political liberty, we are at the same time anxious that the pro perty and security of individuals be not merely unendan gered, but rendered far more sure than hitherto. The Municipal Council of this city, which has already made arrangements for the immediate execution of works by our fellow. burghers of the working classes, to secure to them the means of subsistence in these times of difficulty will do all that is requisite for the maintenance of peace. Thus alone will it be possible to avert the complete stagnation of trade, and keep open the channels of sub sistence. " Fellow citizens! The Municipal Council depends upon your co-operation, and will assuredly not be disap pointed in its hopes. "THE MUNICIPAL COUNCIL." The greatest excitement exists also in Prussian Silesia. At Breslau on the 19th inst. a detachment of cavalry charged and wounded three of the in habitants. A Civic Guard has been formed, but up to the moment of this information coming, the mili tary authorities had refused to deliver arms to them. We have been favoured with the following extract from a private letter, dated Berlin, March 20:— " Berlin, March 20, 1848. "My dear Sir,—l wrote last night at four o'clock to —, and you will learn by this day's paper that a new day has begun for constitutional Prussia! The wishes of the people are granted—Prussia takes the lead in the great German movement, and it is to be regretted that hundreds of citizens have been victimised on the altar of liberty. Fifteen of the citiz?ns who had been killed on the night of the 18th-19th, were carried into the court of the " Schloss," their wounds were laid bare and flowers around the gashes. The King was forced to appear and to look at these poor victims—so was the Prince of Prussia. I am interrupted by a cry of enthusiasm raised by the populace on the opposite side of the Linden, and I find that the people have applied Lynch law at the house and shop of Mr. Wernicke, his Majesty's glove manufacturer, who on Saturday had betrayed the citizens to the soldiers. All his property is collected in the street, and fire is set to it; the flame illuminates our windows, but not one pennyworth is taken away. All gloves and skins are b •ing thrust into the fire, and as I write the populace are shouting "Thus we judge traitors.' These words So strati man die Verraether; are being painted on the shop doors. No excess ag ainst property has been committed, an the French have taught the Berliners how to behave. No soldier is to be seen, the citizens mount guard, and the tranquillity and joy are indeed admirable. As a matter of course, we are dreadfully short of money, but I have no doubt in two months hence all will be settled tranquilly. The French will not disturb the peace of Europe, and as Russia has now lost every prop and stands quite isolated, we have no fear of a general war, though I trust to God the Poles will drive the Russians out, and will become an independent nation. We live universal history, my dear Sir, and more events are accomplished in drys than formerly in years. Again I was interrupted by shouts of the people, who, proceeding down the Linden, took down very quietly all sign boards bearing the namo of the very odious Prince of Prussia, and burning them in the fire at Wernicke's door. At Messrs. Friedberg's, the jewel lers to the Prince of Prussia, they knocked off the letters forming the name, and painted the space over. They then went down opposite the Prince's palace, and the desire to destroy it was only arrested by its being de declared ' national property,' which words were painted over the walls in a minute, and the German flag (red, black, and gold) hoisted on the balcony. A shout of joy was raised, and joy is to be read in every face, that the Prince has lost not only his palace, but his crown. F&rtunately he has left Berlin, or he would have been torn in pieces. This moment a new popular accession to the Ministry is announced, Becke rath and Borneman, and that the King puts entire con fidence in his people, and will not call in any soldiers. The spirit of joy is universal. "Anotherinterruption—Mieroslawsky and the other Poles,'who have all been pardoned, are drawn through the city in triumph (see the " Extrablatt" of the news paper). This day four weeks the throne of the autocrat will tremble, and I hope I shall have the satisfaction of giving him Is. in charity. " The Prince of Prussia, his wife and family, have left Berlin of course. " P.S. All Berlin is in holiday clothes." AUSTRIA. Vienna was perfectly tranquil according to the latest accounts. The Austrian Observer contains the following official article : " VIENNA, —MARCH 18. " His Imperial Majesty has been graciously pleased by a Royal resolution of the 17th, to command the for mation of a responsible Council of Ministers ta delibe rate on the principles laid down in the Imperial Patent of the 15th of March. "This Council of Ministers will consist of the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs, and of the household, the Minister of the Interior, the Minister of Justice, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of War. " One of the Ministers will be appointed President of the Council of Ministers, and will take the lead therein. "His Majesty the Emperor has been pleased to command the Supreme Chancellor to make known to the burghers of the capital his Majesty's satis faction at the faithful loyalty, which, as in times of old, they have displayed during the last few days, and to express to them, as the newly constituted National Guard, his high approbation of their fidelity and loyalty, their zeal and praiseworthy exertions for the restoration and consolidation of public peace and security, and his perfect confidence that they will ever maintain the same honourable bearing. "In like manner the admirable conduct of the stu dents of the University is equally appreciated by his Majesty, who desires that his high satisfaction may be conveyed to the University and other academic institu tions; viz., to the presidents, the professors, members of the faculties, and students, for the devotion which they have evinced during the last few days, and their very strenuous exertions for the restoration of the public peace and security; and these thanks are heightened by the certain conviction that in so far as is compatible with the duties of their calling they will ever be equally willing to co-operate for the consolidation of public " Alajesty the Emperor, by an imperial decree of the 17th of this month, in consequence of a humble petition presented to him, has been pleased to decree that bills of exchange which ought to have been pre sented for acceptance or payment from the 13th to the 18th of the current month inclusive in Vienna, and in the districts thereunto appertaining, and included within the jurisdiction of the police, shall be valid for presen tation on the 20th of this month. "JOHANN TALATZKO. " BARON VON GESTIETIEZ. " Vienna, March 17." Various addresses have been presented to the Ext rotort, expressive of gratitude and loyal attachment. The Vienna Gazelle of the 16th says— " Austria has placed herse.lf on a footing of complete equality amongst the European nations. The ties which are to unite the several nationalities have become indissoluble. Yesterday morning the Emperor, our gracious Sovereign, accompanied by his brother and the eldest son of the latter, and escorted by the National Guard, rode out in the streets of the capital in the midst of the joyful shouts of the crowd which sur rounded his coach. This noble confidence he has placed in the unimpeachable attachment to him of his faithful subjects has more than all contributed to calm the pre sent excited temper of the people. The proof of attach ment the King has received on all sides has removed the last obstacles which can separate the Sovereign from his people. At four o'clock numerous deputations from all classes of the population repaired to the palace to thank the Emperor, who appeared on the balcony, surrounded by many members of the Imperial Fatmly. In the even ing the city was illuminated. Satisfaction is in all faces. Flags and carpets are hanging out at all the windows, and great masses of the people are runni ng a b out the s treets filling the air with vivats,' and singing the na tional hymn." INSURRECTION IN LOMBARDY. An extraordinary supplement to the I?isorgintento of Turin announces the revolution at Vienna, and gives the following particulars from Milan. The Viceroy having left Milan at five o'clock on the morning of the 17th, like a fugitive, escorted by 500 hussars, met at Cassano with the courier who was the bearer of the latest news from Vienna. The fol lowing proclamation was posted up at Milan on the 17th : " The President of the Imperial Government hastens to announce to the public the contents of the telegraphic dispatch dated Vienna, 15th instant, received at Zilli on the same day, and at Milan yesterday evening. His Imperial and Royal Majesty bas decreed the abolition of the censorship, the speedy publication of a law on the press, and the convocation of the German and Slivonie States, as also the central congregations of the L ,m -bardo-Venitian kingdom. The assembly will meet at the latest on the 3d July next. (Signed) " ITARTL." On the 18th M. CASSATI, chief magistrate of Milan, went at the head of two or three thousand persons to demand the liberation of the individuals arrested in the course of the latter months. This de mand having been refused, the magistrate retired, and immediately the people assembled on the squares and hoisted the tricoloured flag of Italy (white, red, and green). Several streets were un paved, and the tumult increased. A traveller, who left at two o'clock, saw several pieces of artillery drawn out with lighted matches. At a short distance from Milan he heard the report of cannon. SARDINIA. The King of SARDINIA has published a general amnesty for political offences. A letter from Rome of the 11th says :—" We feel the contrecoup of the financial crisis of France ; Genoa has withdrawn its credit at the Roman Bank; TORTONIA gives no money on Pali, not even on ROTHSCHILD. This crisis, it is hoped, will only be temporary; and the Roman Princes, who are share holders in the Bank, guarantee that they will not allow it to suspend its payments, but the panic is great, and everybody desires to withdraw his funds," THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. On Wednesday a grand demonstration took place in the Champ de Mars, where a tree of liberty was planted on the same spot on which the tree of Liberty had been planted in 1790. At one o'clock a deputa tion of workmen proceeded to the Hotel de Ville, to request the presence of the Minister of the Interior at the ceremony. M. LEDRU RoLrAN at once proceeded to the Champ de Mars, where he was received at the Ecole Militaire by Colonel ALLARD, Director of the Works. He then proceeded to the foot of the tree of Liberty, and addressed the vast assemblage as follows : " Fellow Citizens—l thank you in the name of the Provisional Government for having thought of renewing here a great event—that of the Federation of 1790. These thanks I not only address to you in the name of France, but in the name of Europe, in the name of the whole world. This theatre of the Federation, the Champ de Mars, recals the glorious past. France, di vided into castes, into aristocracies, into provinces— coming at the call of the people of Paris to abjure, on the altar of the country, the ardent hatreds and the resentment of ages, and to form one single nation—the French nation.—(Applause.) There is another recol lection, that of the Champ de Mai, where the nation, threatened by foreign invasion—where the indignant people rose to defend its nationality. At that period Europe, deceived and submitting to the will of its mas ters, believed that we wished to invade it, and we had Waterloo I To-day we reply to it (sublime answer) by sending it liberty. "Our resolution was accomplished in three days, and the effect of it is such that from to-day all Europe may declare herself free. The two bsnks of the Rhine re sound to the cry of arms, tired of an odious yoke. Austria—that land of pleasure, which Metternich treated like another Venice—Austria is aroused, and de clares her independence. The other countries will fol low the example we have given, and the dust of thrones, where royal indolence slumbered, will soon be blown away by the breath of the people.—(Applause.) We have reason to be proud—l repeat it—for to the defeat of Waterloo we need now only to oppose a cry of liberty and deliverance. Hail to the - e, tree f glorious symbol of that deliverance and that liberty ! Hail to thee ! with joy I foretel it. On the very spot where, sixty year since, men fraternized in the name of liberty, on this spot we shall soon see assembled around thee deputations from every part of the world. We are strong to-day, because we rely upon liberty; because we trust to you, intelligent workmen, who have brought about the revo lution, and who wish to see it bear fruit.—(Applause.) Now, my friends, let us return to our labours, and let our blended voices join in the shout which has made the heart of the world vibrate—'Vive la Rodublique I' " Cries of " Vive la Republique," " Vive LEDRU Romax," followed this speech. An old invalide, an old soldier of the armies of the Republic, seized the hand of the Minister and pressed it to his heart, without being able to pronounce a word, so great was his emotion. An officer of the army also ad vanced towads the citizen LEDRU RoLTAN, and, with tears in his eyes and a voice trembling with emotion, expressed the sorrow of the officers and the men at being absent from Paris. He demanded the recal of the army. LEDRU ROLLIN replied by an eulogium in honour of the army, and said he should only be satisfied when he beheld the army, the people, and the National Guard fraternize at a banquet on the Champ de Mars. The Minister of the Interior then retired amidst loud cries of " Vive la Republique !" " Vive LEDRU ROLLIN !" The Moniteur publishes several additional official acts of the Provisional Government. The head-quar ters of the National Guards of Paris and its environs are transferred to the palace of the Tuileries—the Pavillon Marson, which was the residence of the Duchess of ORLEANS, being appropriated to that pur pose. A grant of 500,000 francs is appropriated to the preservation of the palaces and other public buildings, which formerly formed part of the Lisle Civile, but which have now fallen into the domain of the Republic. The sum of 250,000 francs is placed at the disposal of the Minister of Public Works, for the construction of a provisional hall for the Na tional Assembly. The hall, which is in the court of the Chamber of Deputies, has been already com menced, and is making rapid progress towards com- pletion. Several officials, who had been dismissed by the old Government on account of their Republican opinions, have been reinstated in their respective offices. The Atelier club, one of the most influential and republican in Paris, has published an address, de claring, with regard to the elections in the National Guards, that considering that the present list of officers was elected under the late Government, and in an anti-democratic spirit, it ought to be revised as soon as possible ; and considering that immediately after a revolution it is most desirable to have officers influenced by ardent feelings of republicanism, in order to prevent the retrograde intrigues which are to be feared, it therefore rejects unanimously the indefinite adjournment of the elections. The address then alludes to the proposition which has been made to keep the regular army at a distance of 50 kilometres from Paris, it rejects it also; because such a measure would be disastrous to the country which surrounds the capital, whose agricul tural prosperity depends, in some measure, on the army ; because the proposition shows a want of con fidence in the Provisional Government, whose acts have merited approbation ; because the proposition is injurious to the reputation of the army, whose device should henceforth be, according to a saying of CAR NOT'S, passive obedience before the enemy, and obetx- Janee raisonnee at home ; and, lastly, because all true Republicans should wish to see the brave soldiers of the Republic coming to Paris to renew their zeal and their patriotism at that centre of liberty. The Constitutionnel, in the course of a long article on the debate in the British House of Commons on the subject of the navy estimates, s ay -" We perceive with satis faction that the declarations of the British Minister are altogether of a pacific character. Hitherto the only intention he has announced has been a desire to preserve peace and to cultivate more particularly amicable relations with France. The French Provisio nal Government is, on its side, animated by the same sentiments with regard tAi England. The Revolution of February was brought about under circumstances favourable to the union of the two people. The fallen Government had broken the English alliance by the disloyal conclusion of the Spanish marriages. This fault, one of the greatest of the reign of Louts PHILIPPE, has been repaired by the fall of the mo narchy. The new Government has found itself in a condition openly to repudiate this act of policy, accomplished to the detriment of the interests of France, to serve purposes purely dynastic. England has thus been in some measure associated in the de velopment of our liberty." The financial crisis still continues. The announce ment of the failure of the great banking-house of D'EICIITAL and Company, had produced a very depressing effect upon the Bourse. Great complaints are made of the doings of M. LEDRU ROLLINS' Commissioner at Blois. He has been issuing a series of decrees of the most extraordinary character. By the first he establishes a National Discount Bank at Blois, of which the capital is to be hereafter settled. By the second he empowers th bankers of Blois not to pay the deposits which proprietor or capitalists may have entrusted to them before the 15th of May, but he gives the depositors the right, if they choose to avail themselves of it, to re quire the payment of their deposits, on condition that they will immediately transfer the whole amount so restored to them to the National Discount Bank; and the thirds suspends all prosecutions for the pay ment of debts till the 15th of May. This last decree enjoins all huissiers and avoues to refuse their aid to ;hose who may wish to enforce the rights which the laws allow to creditors. Besides this, the special commissioner for the department of the Loiret, acting under the authority of the above general commission, issued a decree, dated the 17th of March, by which he gives a forced circulation to the notes of the Bank of Orleans, limits the emission to the sum of three millions, authorises the issuing of notes of 100 f., and orders the Bank to publish a periodical statement of its accounts. A party of twenty-five Polish emigrants left Paris eight days ago, with the intention, if possible, of penetrating into Poland, and raising the standard of revolt. A party of Belgians were to leave Paris to-day for the purpose of proceeding to the Belgian frontier to proclaim the republic of Belgium. They posted pro clamations all over Paris, calling the Belgian Repub licans to arms. A meeting of Austrian subjects was held yesterday in the Place Vendome, to consider what they were to do in the present circumstances. Some of them brought the yellow and black flag, with the crowned Austrian eagle in the centre, to the place of meeting ; but as soon as it was seen by the bulk of the meeting it was saluted with groans and hooting. The flag was wrenched from the hands of the unlucky person who carried it, and burnt in the middle of the square, the meeting declaring, amidst great cheering, that they would henceforth acknowledge no flag but that of the liberty of Germany, namely the German tricoloured flag of black, gold, and red. A consi derable tumult followed, in consequence of a division of opinion in this respect, a portion of the meeting declaring that the Austrian flag ought to be main tained as a symbol of the union of all the states of which the Austrian empire consists; but ultimately the supporters of the tri• coloured flag carried the day. A great number of the Germans and Austrians present intimated their intention of leaving Paris, and directing their steps towards the Austrian fron tiers to assist their countrymen to re• conquer their liberties. The Minister for Foreign Affairs has forwarded to the Minister of the Interior an account of the pecu niary claims made by the English workmen who were expelled from Rouen at the Revolution. The Minister of the Interior has ordered the Government Commissary at Rouen to verify those claims in concert with the English Consul. BOURSE—PARIS, THURSDAY, MARCH 23. THREE O'CLOCK.—Prices are in general lower to-dal both for the Rente and for Railway Shares. The Three per Cents. opened at 501., went up to 50f, 50c., and then closed at the opening price, being lf. lower than the day before.

In Railway Shares, the buoyancy which was so remit' k able the day before, by no means con tinued. The plan a tt r ib u t e d t o t h e Provi sional Government, of ex-propriating all the lines, en certain conditions, and giving Five per Cent. Rents to the shareholders in return, did n o t seem t o m eet with so much favour to-day. Buyers who purchased th e day before seemed to think that th e y h a d ac t e d precipi vitely, and in consequence most of the lines show low er . prices.

The quantity of English Wheat on sale in to•day's market was very moderate, and of middling quality. Although the attendance of buyers was by no means large, the demand for all descriptions was firm, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, Monday's prices, and a good clearance was effected. Really fine foreign Wheats were held for more money. The middling and inferior kinds moved off steadily, at very full prices. The Barley trade was firm, but we have no improvement to notice in value. All kinds of Malt were in improved request, at extreme currencies. Oats were very dull, but not lower than on Monday. Beans, Peas, and Indian Corn c , mmanded scarcely any attention.

Although the supply of Beasts on sale, today, wall but moderate, the demand for all breeds, except the primest Scots, was in a very sluggish state, at about Monday's quotations. There were on offer 157 Beasts, 190 Sheep, and 52 Calves from abroad.
