Upon the decision which the House of Commons may arrive at on the amendment last night moved by the veteran Reformer JOSEPII Hums, will in all pro bability depend whether the country is to be perma nently saddled with the iniquitous and inquisitorial income-tax, with all its inequalities, or whether a more correct and equitable system of taxation will be introduced, by which the sums required for the national expenditure may be levied in a manner at once the least burdensome to the community in general, and fairest to the parties called upon to pro vide the necessary amount. The Honourable Member for Montrose does not desire to embarrass the Go vernment, nor to force them to introduce a better sys tem without affording full and ample ti me t o cons id e r theimportant topic in all its bearings; He feels the deep injustice inflicted on the industrious classes by the present law. He believes that wise and pru dent measures of econom y may effect sav i ngs th a t would render the most objectionable part of the im post,;vis., that levied on incomes not derived from and that so realised property, wholly unnecessary, much might be remitted without any increase in the remainder. But if that should prove . to be impossible, and if, after a searching investigation, should b e found that no material reductions in the amount of the national expenditure can take place without danger to the credit of the country, an d that either a • constantly increasing deficiency, or the opening up of new sources of revenue, are inevitable, he will greatly prefer the latter alternative, and sanction such mea sures as may be necessary for that purpose, provided that they are based upon justice, and are such as men of honour and integrity can give their assent to. The opponents of the present system do not object to contribute their fair proportion to the wants and exigencies of the country, but they most strenuously protest against an equal amount being levied on moneys derived from professional and precarious sources to that levied on incomes derived from real property. They are conscious that the greater portion of the amount to be collected from the people is required for the payment of the interest of our national debt, a debt which was contracted for the protection of the accu mulated and realised property, and !which should entirely be defrayed out of the property which was there* not only preserved, but materially increased in THE STYN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARC if 7, 1846. value. Sir R. PEEL last night admitted, that if a great exertion were to be made, and that it was proposed to pay off the national debt, that then a tax on capital might be necessary. Indeed it is manifest that the necessary amount could not be collected in any other manner. Why, then, should a different rule prevail with respect to the payment of the in terest from that which would necessarily exist if the principal itself was to be liquidated ? In either case the amount should be obtained from the same sources. The denial of a fair adjustment of the burden may possibly induce the people to ask how far their fathers had a right to mortgage the labour of their pos terity—to charge their children with the payment of a debt contracted before they were born. An un wise and obstinate persistance in the unjust and im politic course may lead to consequences which our legislators, happy in the possession of their property qtralification, do not at present contemplate. The Member for Montrose is willing to renew the tax for one year, and surely that is a sufficient time for even the most inert and sluggish Minister to ma ture all the details of a measure, assigning its true value to every species of income, and declaring what proportion thereof should be made applicable to sup ply the deficiencies of the Exchequer. Three years are, however, now demanded, and the representatives of the people are called upon to respect public credit, and their own character, by acceding to the prolonged period. We cannot conceive any thing more calculated to impair the public credit than the fact that Honourable Members, who are thoroughly convinced of the injustice and oppression of a particular impost, should yet consent to a con tinuance thereof for an additional year, rather than the slightest shock should be given to that credit. We cannot conceive a course better calculated to exalt the character of that House than that they should give an implied pledge that they would be prepared to enter upon the deliberate consideration of the means by which the admitted inequalities might be removed—the acknowledged grievances remedied, at the earliest possible opportunity. As we have already stated, the concession for three years will be tantamount to a refusal of any alteration and conclusive as to the permanency of the tax. We trust that the several constituencies will exert them selves with the same energy and zeal that they did against the contemplated increase, that they may warn their representatives that a support of the Government proposition must lead to a severance of the connexion existing between them. On Friday next the division will probably take place. Every elector should take care to otain a list of the voters on that day, and carefully to retain it until the time when his suffrages may again be sought for. The Irish Members, too, should refrain from pressing on the English people a burden with which they themselves are not about to be charged. They justly complained, during the past week, of being outvoted on a question relating wholly to Ireland, and on which they were all but unanimous : they should avoid giving equal cause for complaint by adopting a course in opposition to the wishes and feelings of the people of this country. Already the more turbulent Reformers of England are beginning to demonstrate their sympathy for the French Revolutionists of February, by creating dis • turbances which can only result in bloodshed, misery, and spoliation. Anxious as they possibly are to imitate the glorious movement of the Parisians, they are only rendering themselves contemptible in the eyes of their fellow-couritrymen by their id '.e and intermittent efforts at insurrection. They are striv ing to enact a heroic drama, and are only degene rating into the buffoons of a travestie. Their ambi• tion is petty larceny ; their political dream is chaotic ; their patriotism is ridiculously rampant. Instead of chaunting to the land such songs as the death-chorus of the Girondins, and the hymn of the Mar seillaise, they are trolling in the streets of Glas gow the Lillibullero of VICTORIA. Eminently unlike their contemporaries of the barricades, they are satisfied with ducking a few heads in the fountains at Trafalgar-square. To speak honestly of our fellow-citizens, we are thoroughly ashamed of their proceedings yesterday, both in mobbing a handful of police-constables at Charing-cross, and tearing up the rails along the lines branching from Glasgow to Paisley and Airdrie. In the former instance the populace were convoked by an eccentric gentleman named Mr. CHARLES COCHRANE, who, after collect ing several thousands round the pediment of the Nelson pillar, evaporated into thin air, and left only an apologetic placard behind. This example of officious ness and pusillanimity will be sufficient, we trust, to prevent the multitude henceforth from placing any reliance whatever in those political charlatans who raise the standard of a spurious patriotism, in hands delicately gloved with lavender kid, and who endeavour to float into Parliament upon oceans of soup, reserving to themselves the meat and the vermicelli. It is not by pillaging the gun factories of Glasgow, or by sacking the shop windows of jewellers, or by throw , ing, the truncheon of A No. 1 into the puddle of an abortive fountain that the Government of Great Britain is to be re-organized, and the happiness of its population secured. Never was a more mi serable contrast visible than that which has been afforded in France and England, the one the scene of a' sublime tragedy, the other of a contemptible farce—heroes at Vincennes, and pick pockets at Glasgow—a grand historical convulsion in Paris, and a petty riot in a corner at London ! Happily for those who, like ourselves, have a pro. found confidence in the popular movement throughout the globe, there is a nobler object of contemplation than these civic squabbles in the metropolis, in the brilliant manifesto addressed, on the 2d instant, to the diplomatic agents of the French Republic by Citizen ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE. That manifesto is worthy of the genius which presides over the victorious Revo lution—it is worthy of the occasion, of the epoch, of ; France, of Republicanism, and of history ! It is a guarantee that the spirit of the new constitution is Peace, and that the ambition which is directly antagonistic to its aspirations is' the ambition of Battle. Although M. DE LAMARTINE has nomi nally addressed himself to the diplomatic agents of his country, he has here spoken in a voice whose glorious tones will reverberate to the limits of the two hemispheres. As he proclaimed the existence of the Republic to the Parisians, from the façade of the Hotel de Ville, he here repeats that momentous proclamation to the nations of Christendom, from the pinnacle of a third revolution. He speaks with all the elegance of a scholar, with all the grace of a poet, with all the simplicity of an historian, with all the dignity of a statesman, with all the distinctness of an administrator, with all the fervour of a patriot, and, above all, with the exquisite and courageous humanity of a Christian. The mani festo is decidedly the manifesto of a rhetorician—but the rhetorical flourishes are unstudied and spontaneous —they are only the melodious vibrations of the heart strings of LAMARTIISB, of the chords of that heart which has become an instrument of eloquence, and which is stirred to its innermost recesses by the mighty deeds it has so very recently evoked and ac complished. We have said that this circular, in which the prin ciples of the Provisional Government are definitively revealed, is in its character distinctly and eminently pacific. IVe repeat it—the manifesto glitters with the aphorisms of Freedom, but its splendour is subdued by the benign and chastening beams of in ternational amity and universal lsrotherhood. tt La Republique," writes this illustrious Tribune, ‘ La R e p u bli que a prononce en na i ssan t, e t au m ili eu i de la chaleur (rune lutte non provoquee par lo peuple, trois mots qui ont revele son ame et qui appelleront, sur son berceau les benedictions de DIEU et des horn roes Liherte, egatire, fewer,ue EII de m a donne t e i n e lendemain, par l 'abolition de peine matilre politique, le veritable commentaire de ces trois mots au dedans ; donnes leur aussi leuevbritable commentaire au dehors. Le sens de ces trois mots appliques I nos relations exterieures est celui-ci affranchissement de la France oceur daeslicni ha v i e n a e u s qui pesaient cur son p rinci p e et sur sa di g n ity ; re cuperation du rang qu'elle dot occuper des grandes puissances Europeennes ; enfin, declara tion d'alliance et d'arnitie, d tour les peuples. Si la France a la conscience de sa part, de mission liberale et civilatrice dans le siecle, it n'y a pas un de ces mots qui signifie guerre. Si l'Europe est prudente et juste, it n'y a pas un de ces mots qui ne signifie paix." Yes ; " If France but rightly comprehends her role in the liberal and civilizing mission of the age, there is not one of those words which signifies War ! And if Europe only prove herself to be prudent and just there is not one of these words which does not sig nify Peace !" M. DE LAMARTINE argues with the explicitness of one who is thoroughly conversant with the records of his country, and who has drunk deep draughts of wisdom from the chalice of History; that war, which was " the fatal but glorious , ne cessity of 1792," is wholly incompatible with the cause of freedom in 1846 ; and that by reverting to that magnificent and intoxicating fatality, the French Republic will only have conduced to the national retrogression. " La revolution d'hier," he exclaims in a tone of involuntary exultation—" La revolu tion d'hier est un pas en avant, non en arriere I" Therefore he maintains that a warlike policy is at once to be repudiated. As an enforcement of this argument be contrasts the France of 1792 with the France of 1848. He shows that in 1792 the nation was disunited, that two distinct people in fact inhabited the same soil, that the demo cratic class on the one side fought for an equalization of rights, and that on the other side were those who had been forcibly despoiled of their possessions and their privileges, and who consequently fought with a sort of chivalrous desperation for the re-establishment of a monarchy, an aristocracy, and a theocracy. To day, he insists, there is no longer any dis tinction of interests; social and political equality has reduced society to an equable level ; philosophy has passed from the cloister to the market-place, from the privacy of the academy to the publicity of the streets ; the intelligence of the people has ripened under the rays which have streamed for half a century from the books, the journals, and the tribunes. Then, continues the Republican statesman, endeavouring to affright his countrymen into an anxiety for the preservation of European peace by demonstrating the perils encoun tered by Freedom on the fields of battle.—" It is not the country— _ _ " Ce n'est pas la patrie qui court les plus grands dan ger dans la guerre; c'est la liberte. La guerre est presque toujours une dictature. Les soldats oublient les in stitutions pour les hornmes. Les trones tentent les ambitieux. La gloire eblouit le patriotisme. Le prestige d'un nom victorieux voile l'attentat contre la souverainete natiorale. La Republique veut de la gloire, sans doute, mais elle la veut pour elle-meme et non pour des Cesars ou des Napoleons !" These are sentiments which are essential for the consideration of a great military nation like the French, and LAMARTINII is proving his patriotism and his valour by the daring evinced in the pronun ciation of such novel arguments—the logic of true liberty. Here, however, is his most majestic and conclusive reason for the maintenance of tranquility in this hemisphere : "En 1792, le people n'etait que l'instrument de la revolution, it n'en etait pas l'objet. Aujourd'hui la revolution s'est faite par lui et pour lui. 11 est la revolution elle-meme. En y entrant, it y apporte ses besoins nouveaux de travail, d'industrie, d'instruction, d'agriculture, de commerce, de moralite, de bien-titre, de propriete, de vie a bon marche, de navigation, de civilisation enfin, qui sont tous des besoins de paix! Le peuple et la paix, c'est un meme mot." That august truth will live for ever—" Le Peuple et la Paix c'est un meme mot"—The People and the Peace are synonymous ! It is a truth which might of itself render the name of ALPHONSE DE LAMAETINH immortal—being the very epitome of Christianity and Civilization—had he not already, by his lambent and patriotic genius, written his autograph upon the memory of the world. To-morrow we will illustrate the accuracy of his assertion, proving that peace is at this moment essential to all the nations of Europe. The Helvetic Directory has addressed the follow , ing circular to the Cantonal Governments : " BERNE, FED. 28. " Dear and faithful Confederates,—The Federal Directory has learned, in a certain but not yet offi cial manner, that a revolution has taken place in France ; that, from the 22d to the evening of the 24th, the population of Paris fought against the troops of the line and the municipal guards; and that, on the 25th, at ten o'clock, the Republic was proclaimed. The last mails from Paris have not reached the Federal capital, and for that reason the Directory has not been able to receive official com munications from the Provisional Charge d'Affaires of Switzerland in Paris, M. Delley. The rumours and reports of the journals relative to the extent and result of the Revolution are most contradictory. Nevertheless, it may he considered positive that events of the highest importance are in progress in that neighbouring state, and that the first phase in which they have entered has no doubt already re ceived a solution. "The position which the Confederation, owing to it topographical situation, occupies in the system of the European states, imposes on the Federal Direc tory the obligation to direct the attention of the high Cantonal Governments to the events preparing in dif ferent countries, and to expose to them the aspect under which it is necessary to view and appreciate the position of Switzerland towards her neighbours. " Whatever may be the result of these events, the duty of the Swiss Confederation will be to maintain under all circumstances, and with all its might, the neutrality it has acquired. This profession of faith is the more publicly made, as the Directory appre hends no tendency in a contrary sense. Nevertheless, it is indispensable, after the events which have oc curred in the interior, to exercise a great vigilance, in order to avoid creating embarrassments and compli cations. " The Swiss Confederation must defend with energy against insinuations from abroad the principle of non intervention. But it must also, in the opinion of the Federal Directory, abstain from all kinds of demon stration from which it might be inferred that it is not faithful to that principle. Switzerland considers order and the regularity of internal affairs as a matter re specting which it has alone a right to pronounce. It must accordingly endeavour, on its side, constantly to maintain its neutrality when collisions arise between foreign states, and, in that respect also, as well as on all former occasions, to observe conscientiously existing treaties. " On the other hand, it is the duty of all the Sove reign States not to lose sight of events of so great an importance ; and whatever turn they may assume, whatever consequences may result therefrom, to adopt such measures as shall enable the Confederation generally to provide against all contingencies, and not to be surprised by unforeseen circumstances. " Consequently the Directory feels bound earnestly to invite the States not to undertake at this moment any armament, but to replace the materiel of war consumed during the last expedition, to organize all the armed forces, in order to be prepared to respond in a becoming manner to any contingent appeal on the part of the Confederation. " This invitation is sufficiently justified by the grave events passing at the present period ; experience ought to give Switzerland salutary lessons. "The Federal Directory will apprize the high States of the progress of events, and calls on all the Governments, particularly those of the cantons bore dering on the frontiers, to forward to it any useful information they may obtain. They must carefully watch the march of affairs and acquaint the Directory with every fact of interest for the Confederation. " But, should refugees, no matter to what country they may belong, cross the frontiers of the Confeder ation, whether armed or unarmed, you will grant them hospitality, agreeably to the right of asylum and the laws of humanity. The first, however, must be disarmed immediately, and attention must he paid that they do not abuse the asylum accorded to them, so as to convert it into a centre of intrigues against neighbouring states." " The Members of the Federal Directory." The excitement occasioned in Germany by the French Revolution has been intense. An extraordinary supplement of the Cologne Ga zette, of the 4th inst., brings the intelligence that whilst the town council were assembled on the previ ous night, in the Hotel de Ville, a riotous crowd gathered in front of that edifice and loudly demanded that the members of that body should, in the name of the people, claim the following " rights :" " 1. That the people should make their own laws, and be their own governors ; that there should be universal suffrage, and that all should be eligible both for the commune and the state. " 2. The absolute liberty of the press and of speech. "3. The abolition of the standing armies, the general arming of the people, and the election of the officers by the people themselves. " 4. Liberty of association. " 5. Protection for the working classes, and the securing of the maintenance of all. " 6. Education at the expense of the state for all children." The troops were sent for, and they soon arrived in imposing numbers. The crowd was dispersed, and the ringleaders arrested. The " demands of the people" (Vorderungen des Volkes), were printed on circulars, which were very plentifully distributed amongst the assemblage. The Governor of the Rhine province (Herr Eicn- MAN) has promised to forward to the King of PRUSSIA the suggestions and views of several Members of the United Diet (chiefly representatives of that province) respecting the reforms and concessions called for under the present critical circumstances. General orders have been issued to all the Prussian military authorities to have their troops ready to march at two days' notice. The Prussians have compelled the French residents in Metz to quit that city. The following are the demands of the inhabitants of the Duchy of Nassau : " The general arming of the people, which will have the faculty of choosing its leaders; 2,000 stand of arms for the inhabitants of Wiesbaden ; entire liberty of the press; convocation of a German Par liament ; an oath to the constitution to be taken by the troops; right of meeting; public and oral trial by jury ; declaration that the domain belonging to the State shall be under the control of the admini stration of the states of the Duchy. Immediate convocation of the Second Chamber, for the purpose of forming a new electoral law, on the basis that eligibility is not dependent on wealth, and suppression of restrictions on religious liberty." The States of Wirtemberg, assembled at Stuttgard, presented the following address to the KING, on the st inst. : " Sire,—At a moment when the most serious events shake Europe to its centre, we think it our duty to draw near your Majesty, in the name of the people, whose constitutional representatives we are, and to give you the assurance that the ring can depend upon the concourse of his people to preserve order and legality, and to protect the country against every enemy. The people look up to their King as well as their representatives, for in their union they find the guarantee and the happy solution of those difficulties upon which their welfare depends. We well know that your Majesty is fully determined to fulfil your share of this arduous task, and to secure to yourself the affection and confidence of your people, y your devotedness to popular interests. It cannot escape the penetration of your Majesty that the frontiers of Germany are in danger ; that they require to be protected, and that the most solid rampart of a state is national union ; on the confi • dence of this union depends the safety of the state. The present organization of the Germanic Diet has not awakened these feelings. May the wise inspira tions of your Majesty awake a national feeling, and give an impulse towards the development both of the national liberty and of the national feelings of Ger many. The speech from the Crown promised us the liberty of the press, the realisation will be a tie more which will bind the throne and people. We also de mand the free assemblies of the clubs, without the previous authorisation of the police ; and the arming of the citimens.—Stuttgard, Feb. 29." (Here follow the signatures.) The Committee were most graciously received by the KING. Next day an extraordinary supplement of the Swabian Mercury published a decree in which it was declared that— " 1. The censorship of the press, established by the ordonnance of October, 1819, is abolished. " 2. Consequently, until the Germanic Diet shall have published a decree regulating the affairs of the press, all the dispositions of the law on the liberty of the press of January, 1817, will come in force. "3. In the meanwhile a project will shortly be presented to the states, in which a more expeditious public and oral proceeeding with regard to matters appertaining to the press will be recommended." From Carlsruhe we have also news to the 2d inst. M. Baca, the Minister of the Interior of the Grand Duchy of Baden, has published the following procla mation : "1. The censorship of the press is abolished. "2. The national guard will be immediately or. ganized. "$. The Government will submit to the Chamber a law establishing trial by jury." The Grand Duke of BADEN published on the 2d inst. the following proclamation : " LEOPOLD, &c.—The grave events which have re cently occurred cannot fail to have an influence on existing social order. Never was the necessity of union between the Government and the States, be tween the Prince and the people, more urgent to op pose with one consent the enemies of our constitu tional liberty and social condition, as they exhibit themselves either at home or abroad. In such a mo• ment demagogues of all kinds are not wanting. Un der the pretext of liberty they preach a license which is the destruction of all liberty. I know that many citizens, well-intentioned, whatever may be their po litical opinions, are fearful that this may lead to some movement of anarchy, that in our country, hitherto so peaceable, the criminal intentions of some, and the seduction of others, may bring about a revo lution and attempts against property and other constitutional rights. In these grave circum stances, I address myself with the most entire confidence, and with all the force of my old affections, which have never failed, to my people, who, in happy and in adverse times, have given me so many proofs of their love and fidelity. I address myself to all those who respect order, right, and true liberty, and invite them to co operate with me to maintain order, property, and constitutional liberty, those precious possessions which it is my duty as well as my firm resolution to sustain, and, at the same time, to support all loyal citizens in their efforts to crush, by all legal means, all criminal attempts. It is to you, my dear people of Baden, to give the example of a people who progress happily in the legal development of liberty and in the maintenance of order. You will give, lam sure, this noble example." An official announcement appears in the Frankfort Journal of the 3d of March, which says— " The Diet having demanded the advice of all the Governments upon the detailed report submitted to each on the 9th of September, by the commission for the affairs of the press, to the effect of adopting a uniform federal legislation on the press, has now de cided on the proposal of the said commission—that each state of the confederation has the right to abolish the censorship and grant the liberty of the press, but this can only take place under the guarantees which protect as much as possible the other federal states and the whole confederacy against the abuse of the liberty of the press." The burghers of Kiel in general meeting assem bled agreed to the following address to the ling of DENMARK "Most high, most mighty, and most gracious King and Lord,—The state of the times impels us to address our Prince with perfect openness. The Ger man subjects of your Majesty in the duchies are con scious that they have a claim, founded upon justice and common sense, to a peculiar independent form of government, which entitles them, in close union with the rest of Germany, to develop both themselves and their institutions in the true German spirit. Our German representatives will never deny this convic tion of the nation, and we trust that when these experi enced men shall be assembled at Copenhagen they will unanimously advise your Majesty to give the country such a constitution. Till that period free dom of the press and popular assemblies are indis pensable, if the sentiments of the nation are to reach the ear of your Majesty in their genuine expression and true force. We therefore humbly and earnestly request your Majesty that you will be graciously pleased immediately to issue commands to the autho rities of the censorship in the duchies to let the affairs of the country be freely discussed in the public papers and in pamphlets, and to desire the police authorities not to put any obstacle in the way of popular assemblies for the discussion of the common affairs of the country.—Kiel, Feb. 29. Your Majes ty's obedient humble subjects." (Here follow th e signatures.) The Journal Allemand de Frankfort says that Russia has concentrated considerable forces on the frontiers of Austria. The Prince PAsxzwrrcn is appointed commander. The army will be sixty thousand men ; one part only has arrived at its desti nation. But it is miserable for these troops that famine reigns now in the circles of Poland, and also in Gallicia and Haute Silesia. The Poles are very un easy, for it is reported that those who are condemned at Berlin will not be pardoned. The Austrian Government was expected to pro claim a constitution, with freedom of the press ; but the same proclamation was to announce a forced loan to the amount of forty millions of florins. The Frankfort German journal of the 3d instant contains the following, under date Berlin, the 29th ult..— "The treaty of alliance, concluded between Aus tria, Russia, and Prussia, for the purpose of sup porting Austria in Italy, was ratified by our Govern ment after the arrival of a Russian courier. Three corps of army are accordingly to be mobilised ; the 4th will repair from Saxony and Thuringia to West phalia ; the ith will descend from Westphalia to Cologne ; the Bth will proceed to the French frontier ; and the 3d corps, now on the march, will replace the 4th in Saxony." The Prussian State Gazette of the 2d has an article on the French revolution. After having deplored the fall of the throne of Louis PHILIPPE, the misfortunes of the civil war which has stained the capital of France with blood, and the outrages to which the Duchess of ORLEANS was exposed, the faxes expresses a firm conviction that Germany, instructed by the experience of twenty years of French domination, will stand on its guard against the influence of the ideas of the new Republic, and prepare to defend its independence with zeal, energy, and valour. The organ of the Cabinet of Berlin then indicates the policy which Prussia will pursue. Prussia, faith ful to her alliances, will place all her forces at the disposal of any one of her allies that may be menaced with invasion. She will consider the violation of the treaties of 1815 as a declaration of war. If these treaties are respected by France, then no motive for war will exist, and the nations of Europe may con tinue to labour in the development of their institu tions, and in the promotion of the arts of peace. The Gazette concludes with a declaration that the preparations for war on the part of Prussia and the other German states ought not to give umbrage to any foreign Government, and that they are not of themselves calculated to inspire alarms grounded on the possibility of war. They are merely measures of precaution, in accordance with the adage, quoted by the Gazette," Si vis pacers para helium." The Magdeburg Gazette announces, under date Berlin, 29th ult., that a revolt had taken place at St. Petersburgh, and that an attempt had been directed against the life of the Emperor NICHOLAS. Berlin papers as late as the 4th inst. make no mention of this rising in St. Petersburgh, which is doubtless an idle rumour. THE FREI\ CH REPUBLIC. PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS. ISre have received the Paris papers of yesterday. In commenting on the manifesto of M. u LAMAR TINE the Presse gives the following resume of the respective positions of France and the other Powers of Europe : " England has acknowledged the Republic, and declared that she will abstain from all intervention in our internal affairs. Belgium likewise acknowledges the new state of things. Belgium being neuter will consequently form a frontier of 4,000,000 men to defend France on the northern side. Switzerland will afford similar protection. Prussia and Austria would have to pass over her to reach us. They will not hazard such a step. Those two great Powers comprehend the immense difficulty of an aggression. Thus the Prussian Universal Gazette—the official organ —has proclaimed the principle of non-inter vention. No declaration has reached us frcm Austria, but the situation of Lombardy answers for her neutrality. Russia, less interested than Prussia or Austria in meddling with our internal affairs, and placed in an unfavourable position to attempt it, cannot inspire any serious uneasiness. The Pro visional Government, through the organ of Al. de Lamartine, has declared officially that the Republic of 1848 desired neither conquest nor violent propaganda, and that its greatest wish was to remain at peace. When, therefore, the idea of intervention or war is re pelled on all sides, neither intervention nor war is to be apprehended. But all parties should act consist ently with the principles they proclaim. The Prus sian Universal Gazette has declared, and the Consti tutionnel has repeated it, that the best mode of securing peace is to prepare for war—a common•place saying, which has been too much abused, and which it is time to abandon. When every party is preparing for war, war becomes almost inevitable. The best mode of securing peace is simply to prepare for peace by a general disarming. To what purpose is it to arm when every Power declares that it is firmly resolved to avoid every act which might lead to a collision ?" We entirely concur with the Presse in opinion that the best preparation for a peace is a general disarm ing, and we would recommend such a measure new, because the Government of France is in the hands of honest and honourable men, on whose truthfulness Ow utmost reliance may be placed. But while the Government of France was in the hands of such tricksters and equivocators as Lotus PHILIPPI and GUIZOT, on whose most solemn pledges no reliance whatever could be placed, it would have been folly not to have been always prepared for the worst. Considerable inconvenience was created on Sun day by a simultaneous strike of the omnibus drivers and conductors, •rho stopped the running of all these vehicles, and forcibly compelled the passengers to leave until the wages of the drivers and conductors should be risen from three francs a day to four. The strike still continued on Monday. The persons who took possession of the Tuileries during the revolution seem very much disinclined to quit their quarters. Several have established theni selves permanently in the Palace. The Moniteur Algerian of. the 29th ult. has been received. The Duc D'A.umar,E on that day pub lished a proclamation announcing the abdication of Louis PHILIPPE, the accession of the Comte DE PARIS, and the regency of the Duchess of ORLEANS. The proclamation concludes as follows : " The Governor-General knowing the patriotism of all, adds nothing to this news. Nothirlg can change our duties, or affect our duties to France. "Algiers, Feb. 27. " 11. D'ORLEANS." The second notice says : " The Governor-General has not received from France any official communication; but he is in formed that the following dispatch has been addressed to all the prefects and sub-prefects. [Here the Governor-General publishes a dispatch, announcing the formation of the Provisional Government.] The Governor-General can only repeat what he said yes terday ; nothing is changed in our duties towards France; the population and the army will wait with the greatest calm for the orders of the mother country. " Algiers, Feb. 28, ten at night." " H. D'ORLEANS. The ilfoniteur contains a decree regulating the mode of election of members of the National Assem bly. The members are each to receive an indem nity of 2.5 f. per day during the session. Paris is to have 34 representatives. By a decree of the Provisional Government of the sth inst., Algeria and the colonies are to return 15 members to the Constituent Assembly. The Prince LIGNE, Ambassador of Belgium, waited on M. DE LAMARTINE on Sunday last, and informed him that his Government was desirous to maintain official relations with that of France. Some alarm was created in Paris yesterday by the announcement that GOUIN'S bank had stopped payment for a sum of 55 millions of francs. M. GOIIDCRAU X has resigned the Ministry of the Fi nances, and is succeeded by M. GARNIER PAGES. The opening of the Bourse is postponed until further orders. The Commerce says—" We learn from a certain source that on Saturday all our diplomatic agents were recalled. The Government has well conceived that those who abroad have been the interpreters, and too often the docile agents, of an anti-national policy, cannot consistently continue to be the representatives of republican France." General TRIAILD has been nominated Ambassador to Switzerland. M. D'HAILCOURT and M. DE BOISSY are to be appointed Ambassadors, one in Spain, the other at Rome. We read in the Ifoniteur :—" In reply to the notification of the establishment of the Provisional Government, and of the proclamation of the French Republic, Rear-Admiral TRRHOURT commanding par interim the squadron of the Mediterranean, has hastened to make known to the Minister of Marine that he had put that notification on the orders of the day of the squadron, the crews of which continue to show themselves animated by a spirit of perfect discipline and calm. You may, Monsieur le Ministre,' he adds, give an assurance to the Provi sional Government, that whatever may be the cir cumstances, France can count on the patriotism and courage of its sailors of the squadron of evolution.' " THE DUCRLESS or Onnzeris.—The following letter from Coblentz, dated the 2d, is given by the Cologne Gazette :—" The Duchess of ORLSANS arrived here last evening with her two sons, the Count Dn PARIS and the Duke DR CHARTRES, accompanied by the Marquisses DE Morerrsgutou and DE MORNAY. They came from Paris as far as Aix-la-Chapelle in a small hired carriage with one horse. Thence, they proceeded by the railroad to Cologne. They passed the night at Deutz in the strictest incognito, and came on here by the Coblentz steam-boat. They have gone to Ems, where they mean to remain for the present. This morning, before her departure, the Princess received a visit from the wife of General DR TRILL, Commandant of the Province, who him self arrived last night from Berlin."

ELECTION COMMITTEES (THIS DAY.) LYME REGIS. The Lyme Regis Election Committee reassembled this morning; Lord Ashley in the chair. Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM stated that the petitioners had come to the determination to withdraw the petition. The room was then cleared, and the Committee having deliberated for a few minutes, %trangers were re admitted, when The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had come to the following resolution :—Resolved, That Thomas Neville Abdy, Esq., has been duly elected a burgess to serve iu the present Parliament for the borough of Lyme Regis. Resolved, That several of the votes polled for Sir Fitzroy Kelly at the last election be struck off the poll, it having been proved that they had received money for their votes. The Committee then broke up after a sitting of six teen days. BENN DLEY. The Bewdley Election Committee re- assembled at the usual hoer this morning; Mr. Wrightson in the chair. The Committee were engaged the whole of the day in hearing evidence in support of the petition. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(THIS DAY.) The House sat to-day to hear appeals. The Peers present were the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Bose - bery, and Lord Morley. DRUMSIOND AND OTHERS V. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND OTHERS. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal were resumed to day. The case came before their Lordships upon appeal from a decree of Sir Edward Sudgen, when Lord Chancellor of Ireland, in the year 1842. The facts of the case, according to the information, may be thus stated:—About the year 1665, several ministers of congregations in the city of Dublin, upon the passing of the Act of Uniformity, having declined to comform to the provisionss of that statute, withdrew from their parochial cures, and with certain of their parishioners, formed five Nonconforming or Protestant Dissenting congregations agreeably to the Presbyterian form and discipline; and they erected five meeting-houses in Dublin—one in Wood -street, one in Cook street, one in New row, one in Plunket-street, and one in Mary's Abbey. These congregations were governed, according to the Presby terian form, by elders elected from among themselves. No particular statement of what their religious faith was appeared to have been agreed upon, but all united to defend freedom of Dissent and Dissenters. The information then alleged the grant of certain property to trustees for the protection of Protestant Dissenters, and alleged also that it had been generally administered by the ministers and elders of the congregation already adverted to. It then nt on to state the particular circumstances out of which the present suit had arisen; it stated the articles of the trust-deed, and then alleged that all the original trustees believed in the Trinitarian doctrines, and that ' up to a recent period the entire income of the fund was applied according to the trusts of this deed, to and for the benefit of Trinitarian Protestant Dissenters ; that the Wood•street congregation had united with that of Cork -street, and removed to a meeting-house in Strand street; that the congregation of New-row had lemoved to Eustace-street, and that the congregation of I'lunket street had joined a congregation of Trinitarian Presby terians .ou Usher's Quay. The information further stated that the congregations of Strand-street and Eustace-street had adopted the opinions which are commonly called Unitarian, and that the Rev. Joseph Hutton and Dr. Leslie, ministers of Eustace-street, and Dr. Hammond, minister of Strand -street, respectively taught and preached Unitarian doctrines, and that the lay elders and members of the congregations belonged to the sect of Unitarians, but that the ministers, elders, and congregations of Mary's Abbey and Usher's Quay still maintained their ancient faith, being Trinitarian Presbyterians. The information then submitted that according to the true construction of the trust deed, and the intent of the parties, it was inconsistent with the trusts thereof to apply any portion of the fund in aid of the teachers of doctrines at variance with the belief in the Trinity, or at variance with the belief in our Lord Jesus Christ, as entitled to divine worship; and yet that the great part of the fund was applied to the propagation of doctrines called Unitarians—by grants to Uni tarian ministers—by educating young men in Unitarian principles, and by building and re pairing Unitarian places of worship. The defen dants in the court below, who are the appellants, here put in an answer to the information, in which they alleged that at the time the trust was created no parti cular dogmas of faith were in question among Protestant Dissenters in Ireland, but they all agreed in rejecting tests, and in making the words of Scripture the govern ing rules of faith ; that all such persons were deemed " suflering Christians," within the meaning of the articles of trust, and that the property was intended for the benefit of all ; that such had been the principle on which the property had been administered from the period of the institution of the trust until the present time, and that there never had been any doubt that Protestant Dissenters generally, and not any particular sects of them, were entitled to the benefit of the fund. The cause came on for hearing before Lord Chancellor Sugden in 1842, and he made a decree declaring that the fund was originally intended for the benefit of those who professed Trinitarian doc trines, which was the case with all the con gregations for whose benefit the trust was intended at the time of its creation; that all the trustees now administering the funds should be removed, as well the Trinitarian as the Unitarian trustees, and a new set of trustees appointed, and that directions should be given to carry out the trusts by administering the fund exclusively for the benefit of those who professed Trinitarian doctrines; and from this decree the present appeal was brought. Mr. Rolt and Mr. Boundell Palmer, were counsel for the appellants; and Mr. Kindersley and Mr. Malines were in support of the decree of Lord Chancellor Sugden. The arguments, which have already occupied several days, were brought to a conclusion to-day. Mr. BOLT having this morning replied on behalf of the appellants to the whole case, The LORD CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the arguments, postponed giving judgment. CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DAY OLD CO UR 7. (Before the RECORDER.) James Smith, aged 21, a labourer, was brought up on an indictment charging him with burglary in the dwell. ing-house of Francis King, and stealing therefrom a watch, 16 spoons, and other articles, value 251. Richard Clarke was also charged with being an accomplice, and receiving the goods, knowing them to he stolen. On the part of the prisoner Clarke it was endeavoured to establish an alibi, against the other prisoner the evi dente was too strong to admit of a doubt as to his having committed the robbery, and when taken into custody had the property in his possession. The jury found both of the prisoners Guilty. Smith was sentenced to - ten years' transportation ; sentence upon Clarke was deferred, in order to afford time for causing inquiries to be made respecting the accuracy of the evidence of the witness in support of the alibi. NEW COURT. William Balls, a respectable-lookir.g young rim, em ployed as a carman by the Eas ern Counties Railway Company, was indicted pith stealing a sample bottle ut wine from the London Docks. It appeared that on the 18th of February last a vault keeper saw the prisoner go up to the office window at the west vaults, where there was a tray of sample bottles, and take one of them away, which he put in his pocket. On seeing that he was detected in the act he tried to make his escape, but was ultimately taken into custody. Mr. BALLANTINE appeared for the prosecution. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Several witnesses were called who who gave the pri son,2r an excellent character for sobriety and honesty. En was sentenced to imprisonment fur two months, with hard labour. THE RIOTS IN TRAFALGAR SQUARE.-(M IS DAY.) FURTHER PARTICULARS. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The disturbances in Trafalgar-square did not ter minate with the close of the day as might have been imagined; but were resumed at an early hour this morning. Hundreds of young men and boys, of the most dissolute class, gathered in the square, and com menced " larking"—rushing wildly to and fro— fighting, and throwing stones at each other. Their orgies, of course, attracted several thousand specta tors on the terraces, and the shops in Cockspur-street, Pall-mall East, Charing-cross, and that part of the Strand immediately adjacent to Northumberland House, some of which had been partially opened, were closed, and business almost suspended. The crowd still without any settled purpose, uttering no rallying cry, no sentiments of dislike or discon tent, but evidently only intent upon amusing them selves at any cost, and perhaps at any risk, having " nothing to lose, and everything to gain," as a gen tleman near us remarked, tore down the whole of the hoarding round the monument, tearing down one of the granite pillars or posts, with considerable force, armed themselves with pieces of the splintered wood and set up a loud cry of defiance at the police under Mr. Mayne and Mr. Hayes, who by this time had taken up their positions in considerable num bers. Large pieces of the hoarding and boards were carried ,as far as the statue of Charles th e and thrown violently upon the ground, almost preventing the passage of the traffic along that portion of the street. A small shed was smashed to pieces, and an attempt made to fire it without effect. The police chased the rioters round and round the square, and found it necessary in order to clear the area to use their staves with some se verity. Eventually several were taken into custody, a few to the hospital with cut heads, and the rest acting upon the principle that " discretion is better than valour," withdre'w from the field. By half- past eleven o'clock the police had been enabled to clear the centre area of all refractory persons. Just before twelve o'clock a shower of stones were discharged from the terrace at a detach ment of police who were driving away the crowd below. They rushed up the steps nearest St. Mar tin's Church, and the 3,000 or 4,000 persons who had taken up their places at that point made a rush into the road ; but, notwithstanding the confusion, the police were enabled to take four or five of their assail ants into custody. During the morning a great many of the rioters were taken into custody. All the banks in the neig hbourhood are closed. The greatest excitement prevails. Extra policemen hare been ,placed on duty at the Houses of Parliament, a rumour having gone abroad that it was not unlikely the mob% might make its way there, and do some damage. B OW- STREET.—(THIS DAY.) The list of charges on the charge-sheet of the A division this morning, contained the names of no less than fifty-one persons, charged with assaults on the police, throwing stones, breaking windows and lamps, and other similar acts of disorderly conduct committed in the course of the riot. Walter James, aged eighteen, for throwing stones at the police in Trafalgar-sqoare, was fined 10s., or in default, sentenced to fourteen days' imprisonment. Charles Foster, aged eighteen, for a similar offence, as sentenced in the same way. . Henry Enunerson, aged twenty•five, for throwing a stone at policeman E 142, which struck him on the arty, was committed for fourteen days, without fine. W. Hack was charged with kicking policeman E 105, as the latter was assisting in taking another person in charge. He said it was acciden:al ; he was staggering from the eflects of a blow he had received from a con stable, though he took no part in the disturbance. He called a witness, who gave him a good character for s( , briety and orderly conduct. Taking the latter fact into account, Mr. JAItDINE only inflicted in this case the fine of 10s., ordering him to be committed, in default, for 14 days. James Fitzstepltens, for striking Policeman A 194, was fined 205., or 21 days. A well-dressed young man, named Augustus Hether ington, was charged by policeman A 104 with throwing a stone from the terrace in Trafalgar-square, among the police in the area below. He denied that he was the person, and observed that, though several persons pro posed to rescue him, he went quietly to the station.-- Committed for 14 days. William Roxley was charged with assaulting a con.. stable, who had taken him into custody for throwing a stone. He said, in defence, that he was taken in charge wantonly and unnecessarily, having done nothing whatever before was seized. He admitted that he at tempted to strike the constable, but said he did so its self-defence, the constable having used great violence to him. In support of this statement be called a witness, a friend, who said he saw prisoner knocked down twice by the police. Mr. JARDLNE said this was evidently a falsehood, as the prisoner had not ventured to say anything of that kind, and sentenced him to fourteen days' imprisonment without fine. Not less than a dozen persons of different ages, but the majority below 20, were charged with throwing stones at the police, and fined 10s., or in default, com mitted for fourteen days. Several for assaulting policemen, were committed without fine. henry liarrilon was fined 20s. for striking a police man. Another prisoner observed in making his defence, that the conduct of the police was exceedingly violent, and even ruffianly, towards the people, who would have dispersed quietly if they had not been interfered with. When taken in charge he was treated with great unnecessary violence. He allowed himself to be taken without the slightest resistance, and was going to the station- house quietly, when one of the constables struck him so violently on the hand with his staff that his thumb was dislocated by the blow. Another constable, who followed him, repeatedly kicked him; in fact, con tinued to do so all the way to the station. This prisoner, who was charged with throwing stones at the police, but who received an excellent character from a witness whom he called, was ordered to find bail in two sureties of 20/. each, to keep the peace for two months. William Bute was charged with attempting to rescue others who had been taken into custody by the police. He was seen to put his hand in his pocket when taken in charge, and a knife was afterwards found in that pocket. He was shouting to the people, " There are one hundred of us to one of them" (the police). He was ordered to find bail in two sureties of 251. each, to keep the peace for three months. Another person being charged with throwing atone', insisted that he was " protecting the police." For this " protection." however, he was rewarded by the Wile. , tion of a fine of 20s. RIOTS IN GLASGOW. GLASGOW, MARCH 6, 4 r.m.—A Chartist mob is at this moment creating serious disturbances in our city. They have broken into many gun-shops, and among them that adjoining the Electric Telegraph' office. Thus many of them are provided with arrest and these they flourish like madmen or drunkards, shouting " Down with the Queen." That portion of the mob I have seen did not number much above s thousand of both sexes; but other bodies of rioters are said to be similarly engaged in ether parts of the city. Two policemen are reported to have been shot, and many to have been seriously wounded, but there will doubtless be much exaggeration at such a time. GLASGOW, HALF-PAST SIX, P.M,—There appeal to be a momentary lull among the rioters, but from the number of guns which are said to have been taken it is to be feared there will be fresh outbreaks, and the coming night is looked to in apprehension and dread. The military, however, are judiciously posted in various parts of the city, a strong detachment being stationed in the Royal Exchange. Every gun-shop has been ransacked, and plunder seems to be the order of the day, for many tradesmen's stores have been broken into, and among them those especially of the jewellers. All shops have been closed since the com mencement of the riot. EDINBURGH, 11 P.M.—lntelligence has been re ceived here that the Glasgow mob is increasing in numbers and audacity. They are pulling up the rails on the Paisley and Airdrie lines. One hundred and fifty Dragoons have just gone to our railway station to proceed to Glasgow, and NO understand six hundred of the 71st Foot are immedi ately to follow them. '.-YESTERDAY.

The dispensary wa s , established in 1770, and has relieved, during the Ile; year, 12,000 patients. Latterly the subscriptions stell donations had fallen off, and the sermon was partly Or gested by a circular letter on sanitary subjects of tli° Bishop of London. The collection at the church, not' withstanding the untowardness of the mornings amounted to 601., which will be a benevolent help to the numerous applicants. MEETING OF THE UNEMPLOYED.—Yesterday, at noon, a meeting of the unemployed working people °` this city was held on th© Green, in pursuance to int l ' mation by handbill. The speeches and resolutions bore reference, for the most part, to complaints against the relief committee, on account of the rate of wages allowed for the work which had been tendered. In the course of the procecedings, Dr. M`Douali, from London, dell' vered a long Chartist harangue. After the meeting, from 1,500 to 2,000 marched in procession through 11 1 streets to the office of the Treasurer, Mr. Hope, in Sout h Hanover-street, when a deputation was appointed to cox" fer with that gentleman as to what was to be done 1 ° regard to the urgent necessities of the unemployed. NY ° understand that at the moment he was engaged in issuing circulars for a meeting of committee (all the magistrate s being members of the same), with a view to consulting as to the state of matters. This seemed to be satisfee tory to the deputation, who announced the same to th, e . assemblage, and advised them to depart qui e tly, wbicil they did.— Glasgow Constitutional, VALUE OF LAND AT Diss.—Freehold land is we ll freely selling on what is ca ll e d Di es C ommon , f or buil d ' ing purposes, at the rate of 7001. per acre, which, before the railway, was barely worth the tillage.
