MARCH 28, 1848. Everything is in disorder since the great Revolution ofVebruary. Paris has exploded a political petard in the European continent. Thrones have rocked under the convulsions of that moral earthquake which swal lowed up the Orleans dynasty, and dismayed the ad vocaes of Absolutism by the re-establishment of a french Republic. The sublime struggle of the sovereign people of France has caused a terrible vi bration in all the surrounding principalities. LEOPOLD has ackupwlliged his subserviency to the will of the Belgians. LliDwio has resigned the diadem of Ba varia to his son liaxnamail, in obedience, possibly, to the witcheries of LOLA. MoraEs, but still more in obedience to the supreme authority of the multitude. ERNEST has yielded to the Hanoverians ; FREDERICK WILHELM to the Berliners; and even FERDINAND to the Viennese. There is no alternative to the crowned beads of Europe between abdication and concession. . • . 1 • : ; • • ' • • (1. - THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1848. Either the bonnet rouge must veil the crowns of these anointed potentates as it did the forehead of Louis XVI., or their:sceptres must be broken across the knee of democracy like a rotten lath. There is no medium course whatever for the rulers of the Eu ropeans. Every dispatch affords a new and remark able illustration of the impotence of the sway hitherto exercised by the promoters of kingcraft. Every day reveals still more vividly the splendid omnipotence of the million. During thirty-two years of un interrupted tranquillity the autocrats of this division of our hemisphere have been afforded an opportunity of perpetuating their dominion by timely and judicious innovations. Those thirty-two years were the last truce granted to royalty by the mag nanimity of the population—they were the interval of parley —the ultimate suspension of arms between the myrmidons of monarchy and the creatures of the Eternal GOD. That interval has expired without any perceptible advantage accruing to society. Auto oracy and aristocracy have dwindled into insignifi cance—their age has' . elapsed—the whole world is now fixed in admiration at the apotheosis of their suc cessors. Those successors are already obliterating the malign evidences of the system they have abo lished—they have fraternized in the face of Heaven I —they are the genius of Den ocracy, and that radiant Theocracy which is the incarnation of the religion of Christendom. Before, however, the blessings of this union between the institutions of Man and the Church of his REDEEMER can be fully recognised— before their beneficent operations can be even par tially developed, it is necessary that the ruins of the old structure should be rooted out of the earth, so that the foundations of the new edifice may be effectually extended and deepened. A perfect disor ganization is requisite before there can be a perfect re-organization. hence it is that we behold the Cabinets of the Continent plunged at this moment into confusion—the statesman ship of Europe baffled— the arms of Europe para lysed—and the Sovereigns of Europe hors de combat. NAPOLEON never contradicted so astonishingly the limnings of the topographer in a dozen campaigns as the Spirit of Liberalism has done since the commence ment of 1848. War never overturned so entirely, so suddenly, or so permanently, the lines of demarcation between adjacent territories. To all appearance, those states have been desolated by the footsteps of a de stroyer, but even now, from the womb of that chaos, is rising a majestic and beautiful creation. Europe must very speedily be regenerated, not only in a political sense, but it must also be regene rated geographically. It must be regenerated, we repeat, both politically and geographically, and the proximate cause of its regeneration is the Paris Revo lution. What may ba anticipated politically is a compact federation of republics and constitutional monarchies. Nor is this federation impracticable in any respect, for, as M. DE LAMARTINE has admirably observed in his diplomatic manifesto —" Monarchy and Republicanism are not, in the eyes of true statesmen absolute principles which mortally oppose each other ; they are facts which contrast with each other, and which may exist face to face, mutually comprehending and respecting each other." Europe must, therefore, be transformed into an assemblage of monarchies and republics, regarding each other with a friendly dispo sition. Geographically the change on the continent will be momentous and extraordinary. France must consolidate itself as a republic. Switzerland must re main a republic. England, a constitutional monarchy, will tend by its example to the radical amelioration of the monarchical systems of Spain, Portugal, Belgium, llolland, Greece, and Denmark. Beyond this, two enormous and glorious nations will be reclaimed to the world by the establishment of a compact nation ality in Italy and Germany. In Italy there must be a practical and constitutional confederation between Sardir.ia, Piedmont, Savoy, Tuscany, the Papal States Naples, Parma, Modena, Piacenza, Guastalla: Marino, and the territories of Venetian Lombardy. For Lombardy is already throwing off the sway of the KAISER, and must very speedily have achieved its independence. In Germany, on the other hand, the distinct sovereignties must be coalesced into one con gruous and substantial whole, embracing the empire of Austrian Germany, the kingdoms of Prussian Ger many, Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, and Wirtemburg, the Grand Duchies of Baden, Luxemburg, Limberg, Mecklenburg-Sch werin, Mecklenburg- Strelitz, Saxe- Weimar, and Oldenburg, the Electorate of Hesse- Cassel, the Landgraves of Hesse-Darmstadt and Hesse-Homburg, the Duchies of Anhalt-Dessau, .13ernburg, Kothen, Coburg-Gotha, Meiningen, Hildb'gh'sn, Altenburg, Nassau, Brunswick, Hol stein, and Lauenburg, the Lordship of Kniphausen, the Principalities of Schwartzburg Sonderhausen, Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, Rudolstadt, Hechingen, Lichtenstein, Waldeck, Lippe-Detmold, Sehauen burg, Reuss-Schleitz Lobenstein, and Reuss-Greitz, together with the free cities of Lubeck, Frankfurt, Bremen, and Hamburgh. All these separate states, to the number of forty, must shortly be combined into one solid nationality, with a population of 38,664,820 souls—with a federal diet resembling less the minor council or committee, than the general assembly or plenum. Upon this re-adjustment of the northern territories of Europe—a re-adjustment which is becoming every day more inevitable—Hun guy must, we conceive, become once more an inde pendent sovereignty, and Poland re-assert and re conquer its nationality in the very teeth of the AUTOCRAT. According to the fifty-seventh article of the great Treaty of Vienna, it was declared, " L'Autriehe pre3idera a la Diele Federative—Austria shall preside at the Federative Diet." That treaty, however, is now a dead letter, its provisions having been violated successively by the absolute and democratic Govern ments. Beyond this, moreover, the pre-eminence of Austria in the Germanic Confederation has vanished. Prussia, under the mandate of FREDERICK. WiLuar.m, has just assumed the head of the popular movement, girding its loins with a black, red, and gold scarf as the Germanic tri-colour, and bearing in its grasp tl.e sword of the Germanic race. According to the latest accounts received from Copenhagen, it would even appear that the Danes have renounced their allegi ance to the past, and that, with every loyal sentiment towards their Sovereign, they have indicated their enthusiasm for the futurity pictured to their imagina tion by the proclamation of the Prussian Monarch. Actuated by these aspirations for independence, Sleswig- Holstein has dissolved her connexion with the Court of Denmark, and the Provisional Govern ment installed at Kiel has been recognised at Altona. From the Netherlands a similar fragment of intelli gence has arrived. The Count SCHIMMELPENNINCIE has organized a new Liberal Administration, though one of a strictly provisional character. Everywhere the disruption of obsolete systems is visible. Everywhere the disseverance of ancient ties may be perceived In Portugal it has conduced to incite the existing Government to the adoption of a retrogressive policy. Unwarned by the catastrophe of the Tuileries, FERDINAND COBURG and MARIA DA GLORIA are making military preparations for • the prevention of an insurrectional movement.' Their ministerial advisers are obsequious in their - accordance with this insane determination. The escape of GUIZOT from the Hotel des Capucines seems to be a spectacle of no interest to themselves ; they perceive nothing personally suggestive in the flight from Vienna of CLEMENT Prince DE MBTTERNICH WIN NEBOURG. Endeavours of an equally extravagant description may be germinating in the evil thoughts of the Duchess DE RlANzaam, and preluding the way to some sanguinary ebullition of democracy in Ma drid. Nothing dissipates the ignorance of those who are inherently predisposed to Absolutism—no expe rience, however appalling, removes their blindness or enables them to abandon that track which guides them to destruction, and which destruction is ren dered irretrievable by their insulating and insensate predilections. In Italy a proceeding diametrically different has been commenced. The .Milanese have sounded the tocsin to the Lombards, and across the frontiers of Sardinia, the soldiers of Piedmont have marched side by side with the brave Savoyards, hand in hand with the Genoese, in accordance with the mandates from Turin, and under the banners of CARLO ALBBRTO. There is hope, there fore, for the Venetians, for the Milanese, and for the general population of Lombardy ; there is more than hope—there is certainty. Neither Italy nor Germany can continue any longer an un sympathizing agglomeration of states. Their nation ality is already revealing its glories to the daylight. There will, before any protracted Interval has elapsed, be an Italian League and a Germanic League. By this means the balance of European power will be more appreciable; it will afford a novel foundation for a more secure and permanent tranquillity. The Madrid mail had not arrived in Paris when the post left. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes the following decree post poning the elections of the National Assembly for a fortnight : " FRENCH REPUBLIC. " LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY! " The Provisional Government, having considered the decree which adjourns the elections of the National Guard; " Having considered the information giren by the Commissaries of the Departments, and the deliberation of the Mayor of Paris; " Inasmuch as it would be materially impossible to adhere to tho day first fixed for the general elections; " On the report of the Minister of the Interior, de crees— " ht. The general elections of the representatives of the people shall take place on Sunday, the 23d of April. " 2d. The Assembly shall meet on the 4th of May next. " Done at a Government Council hel3 in Paris the 26th of March, 1848. "The Members of the Provisional Government. " ARMAND MARRAST. " DUPONT (de ',Tore). " GARNIER PACES. " LOUIS BLANC. " ARAGO. " LEDRU ROLLIN. " ALBERT. " FLOCON. " MARIE. " LANARTINE." " CREMIEUX. The decree is followed by the subjoined proclama tion, explanatory of the motives of the Provisional Government in ordering the postponement. After stating that the information received showed that it was impossible to carry out the elections at the time originally fixed, the proclamation says : " It is now for you, citizens, to complete the generous work which you have undertaken. The Republic is founded ; no intrigue, no senseless attack, can prevail against it ; the people wills it. It will know hew to defend that which it has known to valiantly conquer. Let it be organized on a large basis. Let the future con stitution carry into our constitutions, and into the laws, the great principles of our revolution. Let your choice prepare the reign of liberty, equality, and fraternity. Thanks to your assistance, citizens, the Provisional Go vernment has been able to this day to bear the burden of public affairs. It does not wish, it cannot retard the hour when it will have to deposit the power in the hands of the sovereign authority, which is alone capable of answering to all the wishes of. France, and alone sufficiently strong to direct the destinies of the Republic in the path into which the magnanimous impulsion of the people has launched them. Da not then lose time, citizens, in discussing opinions and men. Let these, by their virtues, by their lights, by their purity, by the love of their country, be true representatives of the people, and Europe will salute the new Assembly with the same enthusiasm with which the revolution which the people have made has been received, and which engenders the most power ful of propagandism — that which is inspired by admiration." The Moniteur publishes a decree abolishing the committee of surveillance of the sinking fund, and of the Cuisse des Depots aux Consignations, and placing those establishments under the Minister of the Finances. The Itfoni(eur also publishes a decree allowing the Bank of France to discount bills having only two sig natures, provided the third signature be replaced by receipts for the deposit of goods in the newly-estab lished Government stores. The committee of national defence, composed of general officers, has decided that a camp of 90,000 men shall be formed at Dijon, and that the reserves of 1847 and 1848 shall be sent to it. The Government paper, the National, makes the following announcement, without adding to it one word of comment :—" The Piedmontese troops have entered the Milanese?' A deputation of Poles presented itself on Sunday at the Hotel de Ville to demand arms, and to take leave of the Provisional Government, before proceed ing to their own .country. In the course of his reply to the address of the deputation, M. LAMARTINE said— " The French Government feels for the situation of your glorious but unhappy country. The French na tion has never ceased to express its sympathy for Po land. It has never ceased to feel the obligation imposed upon it by the fall of so many thousands of your noble coun trymen in the ranks of the French army. You desire aid in your present undertaking; but, with all our de sire for the independence and happiness of Poland, our duties restrain us within limits, which we cannot pass. We cherish the hope that Poland will be independent and free, and we shall be happy to concur in her at tempts to secure those blessings; but the time for and the mode of displaying our regard for her must be left to us. I shall add, that a peaceable movement will ad vance your cause more quickly and more effectually than an appeal to arms." Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN and Mr. MEAGHER arrived in Paris yesterday. The Constitutionnel announces that General PErz is about to proceed to Naples, with the hope of pro claiming a republic in that city. A regiment of Cuirassiers, is hich was ordered by the Minister of the Interior to enter Paris yesterday morning, was very nearly coming into collision with the people. At the Barrier de l'Etoile a crowd as sembled, who informed the Colonel that the people of Paris did not want soldiers, and that he should not be allowed to enter. The Colonel replied that his orders were to enter, and that he would do so eoute que coute, but that he would wait with his regi ment where he was until a message on the subject could be sent to the Government at the Hotel de Ville. In the meantime he kept possession of the gate. In about half an hour the messenger sent to the Hotel de Ville returned with orders that the re giment was to enter the city. The crowd imme diately formed and attempted to stop them, but the cavalry drawing their swords soon put them to flight, And proceeded without further disturbance towards the barracks. M. ODILON BARROT addressed a meeting of the electors of Laon on the 21st. The following is the conclusion of his speech : "My dear Fellow-citizens,—Above all governments is the sovereignty of the nation! By the fall of the late Government the people has found itself suddenly re possessed of all its supremacy, and it is that sovereignty you are now about to exercise. This high mission im poses on you all the duties; for we can say without exaggeration that on the choice you shall make, on the constitution which your representatives are called on to found, depend the destinies, not only of France, but of the whole civilised world." He spoke slightingly of those who would wish the people to believe they were not educated enough to exercise the franchise; and of those who would persuade them that there was no necessity to have enlightened representatives. As to the form of government, he said, " I will be the first to recognise it, because I think that the republican form of government is, from the present moment, at least in fact, definitively and irrevocably acquired (acquise) to this country. Foolish and criminal should be he who would look back and meditate on any species of mo narchical restoration." He avowed boldly that he had not been a republican, that all he had contemplated in his opposition for seventeen years to the Government was to attain great reforms, and to have a perfectly constitutional monarchy. He concluded with general reflections on the deficiency of all government, unless the people possessed courage and perseverance in looking after them. It was rumoured in Paris that a revolution was on the eve of breaking out in Russia, which was to be brought about by the nobles, the army, and the sons of the priests. BOURSE.—Penis, MONDAY, MAncit 27. THREE O'CLOCL-Great discouragement was mani fested to-day at the Bourse, and every kind of security continued to be offered throughout the whole day's business. The decision of the Provisional Government to postpone the National Assembly was much discussed, and met with very general disapprobation. It was to that feeling in great part that must he attributed the exceedingly heavy fall that has taken place. The Three per Cents. opened at 441., but declined at once, and closed at 40f. 50c., or not less than 4f. lower than the last quo tation of Saturday ; the Five per Cents. fared still worse, closing at 60f, or 4f. 50c. lower. The Four and.a-Half per Cents. were negotiated for the first time since the 10th of March, and show the enor mous depreciation since then of 191., closing at 58f. Bank of France shares have fallen 100 f., being last done at 1,850 f. Belgian Fives are 51. lower, closing at 59f, and Roman 3r. lower, at 53f. Piedmont are at 790 E, being 101. lower. Railway Shares have also declined con siderably; Orleans show a fall of not less than 130 f., closing as low as 5151.; Rouen arc 22f. 50c. lower, at 387 f. 50c.; Vierzun, 20f. lower, at 2201.; Northern and Lyons, 7f. 50c. lower, at 3281. 75c.; and 2921.50 c.; Strasburg and Nantes, 6f. 25c. lower, at 335 f. and 331 f. 25c. Bons du Tresor were negotiated with 38i per cent. loss; the English sovereign is worth from 27f. to 271. 10c.; French gold is from 70f. to 80f. the thousand; specie for the thousand franc note costs 20!.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. GERMANY, POLAND, and RUSSIA. Austria and Prussia continue tranquil, but there appears every probability of a war between United Germany and Russia, Poland being the battle-field. The great object of the Germans is to interpose an independent nation between themselves and Russia, and this object is distinctly avowed in the following article which appears in the Cologne Gazette : " If Re look carefully at our position towards foreign states, nothing is more certain than that we shall shortly be in open war with Russia. ONE MONTH HENCE, AT THE LATEST WE MUST BE IN THE FIELD. The will of the German people has pronounced itself in favour of the re-establishment of Poland. Prussia will have to give up a portion of her territory to attain the great object—an intermediate kingdom between Germany and Russia. This movement has already commenced. A provisional committee has already been form at Posen for the regeneration of Poked, with the sanction of the Prussian authorities. " If Prussia is to make a sacrifice of territory, it must be understood that it does so with the certainty of attaining the desired object : Posen must not be gii en up with a chance of its falling into the hands of Russia. Prussia and Germany cannot remain strangers to the Russian• Polish war. The words in the royal proclama tion of the 21st of March, recommending a federate army, and an army neutrality, are equivalent to a call to arms." The same journal publishes the following address from Prince CZ ARTORTSXI : " ?OLAND TO THE GERMAN NATION. " The heart of generous Germany will surely have leaped at the solemn call which at this moment wakes humanity to commence a new era. The voice of liberty had, indeed, scarcely spoken in her manly tones, when it was echoed from the shores of the Baltic to those of the Adriatic sea. A mighty echo ! It formed the world anew by proclaiming peace and love, by crushing all strife and all hate ! That fraternization of the na tions which is now accomplishing is a characteristic fea ture of the present admirable commotion, and shows that humanity must Lot stop short in the career she has en tered, but proceed victoriously to degrees of perfec tion which were hitherto unknown. Man, the master• puce of creation, bears within him all germs of that per fectibility which creates our admiration as it is shown in the moral development of the nations. Fraternity is to the people what love is to individuals. Love, purified and ennobled in man, makes him an ideal being; fraternity, if once acknow ledged by the people and practised among them, casts them into the mould of a perfect accial state, such as the human heart can dream, and the human mind conceive. It is this perfection which our society seems destined to attain; it is the era into which, it appears, we have en tered, for indeed all voices hail the triumph of each in dividual nation, all hearts tremble with joy at the news of a new share of liberty, no matter what nation it is which obtains it. Generous people of Germany I—lt is this feeling vr hich dwelt in your minds when France, in February last, bore off such gigantic reforms. And France returns this day the same sympathies for the ex traordinary successes which all the Germans have ob tained by their heroic struggles in March. But while all Europe combats, conquers—while it unites its millions of voices to glorify and thank the Almighty —do ye not mark, noble children of ancient Ger mania, do ye not heed that deadly stillness which reigns among your eastern neighbours? Or do you believe that the furies of envy or of hate reside there ? You do not believe it I Too long have the Poles and the Germans been divided by their feuds of former times. Poland fell, though she had been free. Her spoils served to gild the chains with which your masters bound your limbs. You are now free, but the Pules are the slaves of a neighbour who prepares this very day to crush your liberty as he crushed the liberty of Poland. Though fraternity, which unites the people, should fail to induce you to co-operate to the liberation of Poland, your own most holy interests will compel you to do so. Poland, in her nationality in general, and in her chil dren in particular, is the victim of that very Europe which for ten centuries she rendered glorious. Free people of Germany ! you will surely this day open the prisons of the children of Poland, the prisons of Span dau, Glogau, Kustriu, Spielberg, Monkace, Kuffetein, and many others. Such an act will harmonize with the proud flight of your minds. But the German fatherland will be sore and vexed at heart as long as a hated yoke presses upon Poland, her sister in God. " You will never suffer—you, who this day are free— you will never suffer that Poland should remain en slaved, for in 1831 already you hastened to the rescue of this same Poland, and you did it in spite of your despotic lords ; and when the gloomy pall of death covered the blood which stained that country, how glorious was your enthusiasm when you opened your arms to the wrecks of Polish liberty! Germans and Poles came at that time to an understanding. They cursed the blindness which caused them to share the hate which their detested masters imposed upon them, and heart to heart, and hand in hand, they recognised each other as brethren. It was a happy omen! It was the morning dawn of that grand time which now shines upon us. The past and its sorrows were forgotten. You knew, and so did we, that the blood shed in moments of blindness, or by the wretched tools of a bloodthirsty despotism, could not stand between us. And even now, in spite of the executions . of Fischau and Megdeburgh—in spite of the severities of Berlin, Posen, and Bromberg—in spite of transporta tions to America—in spite of emigrants hunted down and peaceful citizens butchered in Galicia—in spits of all this, oh, generous Germans 1 we are riot the less your brothers. Neither Prussia nor Austria have, in our tears and in our curses, ever been mixed up with the despots and their tools. We have excused even the craven con cessions to the demands of the Autocrat which venal or unpopular Cabinets made. Nay, we pity even the Rus sians, stained as they are with patriot blood, shed at Praga and at Oschmiana--we pity them as misguided brothers, as senseless executors of those sanguinary com mands of that single man, o f t h at i ncarnat i on o f t h e genius of evil on earth, upon whom earth hurls the curses of posterity for all times to come. There was a time when Poland and her advanced civilization shielded Europe against barbarism ; without con sidering her own interests, Poland arose in arms to shed her blood under the walls of Vienna. She did not traffic with her aid, and grand was the enthusiasm of that grateful city for her liberators. Even at that early time did our ancestors embrace each other as brethren. Yes! men, people are brothers at all times when a holy fire warms their souls, and when the petty interests of those persons who would rather profit by the faults and make a harvest by the passions of nations than encourage national virtues, fail to separate them. And now, generous Germans, since your heroism has broken your fetters, you will net suffer other nations to sigh under the yoke of tyranny. To suffer it would not only be a want of providence, but downright fratri cide. You would be ungrateful to God, who has thus blessed you. The arms of the aggressor broken in his hand, their fragments will serve to break the chains of the savage conqueror. But it is enough fur this day if France and Germany, free and brotherlike, pro nounce but their will in a manner worthy of the prin ciples which they proclaim. Their word is enough to liberate their Polish brethren. " But if, in spite of the anticipations of human wisdom, the torch of fraterniz itiou should not be allowed to illu mine those hyperborean regions —should their Sovereign in his blind infatuation, attempt to oppose the holy alli ance of the nations—should this be the case, then we are entitled to think that Providence purposes to give a novel and awful lesson by the overthrow of this modern Na buchodonosor. Yes, generous Germans, we call upon you to let your representatives form a supreme tribunal in union with those of France. Their demand shail be the liberty of Poland ! And if their thundering voice should preach to deaf ears, then call the Poles to arms, and may the tricolored banner and the sword of justice fulfil the Divine mission which God himself gives to the nations. PRINCE ADAM CZARTORYSKI." If we are to believe an announcement which ap. pears in the Breslau Gazette of the 21st, a collision between Russia and Germany is imminent. Quar ters have been bespoken at Kalish, says this journal, for 600 Russians, and nearly 150,000 Russian troops are assembled on the Polish frontier. It would ap pear that the greater part of Poland, including the Grand Duchy of Posen, is in a state of insurrection. even before the sitting of the States, the following concessions : " First—The Diet to be replaced for the future by re presentatives of the people,: and the qualification to be as low as possible for candidates. No qualification for electors. "Secondly—The representatives to co-operate in the passing of the laws—such laws to pass by majority of votes. " Thirdly—Ministers to be responsible for them. " Fourthly—The perfect equality of every citizen in the eye of the law. Protection of the person. Invio lability of property. Freedom of house and person, to be only infringed by the arm of the law and upon serious grounds. "Fifthly—Freedom in religion, equality of political rights of all citizens, without refirence to creed; total separation of Church from State. "Sixthly—Freedom of education. " Seventhly—Entire liberty of the press, no preroga tive, no giving security, no judgment for any offence of the press but by a jury. " Eighthly—The right of petition without restriction. "Ninthly—The right of meeting and a,sociating. "Tenthly—Public and oral proceedings in matters of law. Juries to be enacted, and all judgments in poli timl offences to be given by them " Eleventhly—The arming of the people, with the power of electing their own officers. " Twelfthly—No judge to be dismissed or changed but by a court of law. This address contained also an earnest appeal to the ICING to dismiss from the Cabinet the Counts D'AuNng and DE SCUWERIN. It will be presented by twelve members of the deputation. An extraordinary supplement of the Prussian Gazette of the 23d March contains the following:— "A deputation of the municipal authorities of Breslau and Liegnitz has proposed to the King, as the wish of the great majority of the people of those towns, a con stitution which should be founded on an agreement be tween the Crown and the representatives of the people, called together by direct election. His Majesty having heard from the deputation the main points of their pro position, delivered the following answer:— " After having promised a constitution on the most extended basis, it is my wish to publish a law for popu lar election, which should produce a representation em bracing all the interests of the people, without distinction of religious belief, and to submit this law at once to the Diet, the prompt convocation of which appears to me to be the general wish of the country. I should certainly act contrary to this wish of the country, as far as it has been expressed up to the present timo, if I were, in ac cordance with your proposition, to promulgate an elec toral law without first submitting it to the consideration of the states. As I count on your loyalty, I expect that you and those who act with you will be convinced that it is impossible for me to accede at present to your propo sition, and that I cannot do so until the general desire of the country shall be the same as your own. I shall present to the new representation of my people propositions on the following points, in accord ance with resolutions which I have already made known . '" 1. For guaranteeing personal liberty. " 2. On the right of association and public meeting. " ' 3. On the adoption of trial by jury for criminal affairs—that is to say, for political offences and those of the press. " 4. On the general armament of the inhabitants of towns, with free election of their chiefs. " 5. On Ministerial responsibility. " 6. On the independence of the tnagistracy. " 7. On the abolition of privileged tribunals. " Further, the standing army will take the oath to the constitution. (Signed) " • FREDERIC WILLIAM. " Count ARNIM. " 1)E ROUR, Count. " 6 SCUWERIN. BORNEMAN. " D'ARNIM, L. KIJUNE. " Berlin, March 22, 1848.' " The Austrians fled, but the Hungarians cried, Viva Mafia!' The party from Binasco then proceeded to Milan, and were joined on the way by several thousand /nen from Lomello, armed by Count Litta and the Mar quis of Erba. On entering the city, i hey found the people in possession of six pieces of cannon, which ;hey had taken from the Austrians on the PLUZZJ del Dut mo, the fighting was going on in the street, and great num bers were constantly arriving to aid the people, but rein forcements were also coming in to the othtr party. Two thousand Genoese were ou their way to Milan. " The people of Milan were still holding out on the2oth. A body of Swiss had forced the Porta Comasina, and dislodged the Austrians from that post. They had brought ammunition and provisions, and were proceed ing to join in the attack on the castle. The chiefs of the movement, at Milan, ore the following persons, who have constituted themsc, Ives a Provisional Government:— Cusati, the podesta ; Ruggiero Settimo, of Milan; Rossi, of Alessandria; Dello Croce, of Vigevano; and Guiseppe Avogadro." " On the 20th the troops had succeeded in driving the people from the Broletto, which had been up to that time the centre of the movement at Milan; but on the morning of the 21st the insurgents had regained their ground, and forced the troops to take refuge in the Castle. Radetsky then offered to treat with the Provi sional Government, but received a decided negative, on any terms but unconditional surrender. The people had at last gained possession of the powder magazine. They had succeeded in placing a piece of cannon on the tower of San Celso. The magnificent marble spire of the dome: is in ruins. "The inhabitants of Bergamo and Brescia had driven out their garrisons, and were marching on Milan. Gen. O'Donnell had been made prisoner by the people. The intelligence of the arrest of the Viceroy at Brescia was gaining ground. " Letters from Stradella, of the 21st, confirm the news of the insurrection of Modena." The Nourelliste of Marseillies, of the 24th, says— " The news which we receive from Turin fully con firms the facts which our correspondent at Genoa sends us with respect to the events at Milan. In Piedmont, as well as in Genoa, the Milanese insurrection meets with thd most ardent sympathy, and the Government, even before having positively ascertained the character of the insurrectionary movement, did not hesitate to second the national enthusiasm which carries Italian patriots to the assistance of their oppressed brethren. In fact, on the 20th, strong detachments of artillery, and s corps of infantry, were directed in all haste to the fron tier nearest to Milan. But the most significant fact that has yet transpired at Turin is the energetic resolution taken by Charles Albert, in consequence of the demand for aid brought to him by a deputation of Milanese, to enter at once upon the campaign and to march upon Milan Orders had also been sent by the Minister of the Marine to send into the Adriatic all the disposable naval forces, with directions to second the movement of the population on the coasts. The Austrian navy would in this case not only be incapable of measuring its strength with that of Genoa, but it is probable that a great majority of the sailors would juin the popular movement." The Semaphore de Marseilles contains the follow ing : "At Milan, on the 18th instant, the people, armed with sticks, seized on the military post at the Palace of the Governor, and some of the soldiers were killed. The tri-coloured Italian banner was hoisted on the Palace. The municipal body and the Archbishop harangued the victorious people front the balcony of the same Palace, but their speeches could not be heard in consequence of the confusion. Barricades were subse quently construrted in the streets leading to the Palace, as far as the Bridge of St. Damiens. The first carriage that served to form a barricade was that of the Vice-President of the Government, General O'Donnell. The streets were in an instant unpaved. Not a soldif r was to be seen. According to the Concordia, the people captured the artillery which had been planted in front of the Cathedral and Palace. The barricades were completed during the night of the 18th, and on the morning of the 19th the fusillade and cannonade commenced, and continued the whole day. A Croatian regiment was partly destroy( d by projectiles thrown from the windows and roof's of the houses. The peasants arrived by thousands from the neighbouring country, and the tocsin was rung in all the villages. Radetsky is said either to have retired into the Castle or fled. The viceroy departed from Milan oa the 17th, with seven carriages, escorted by 50 gendarmes. lie wept bitterly ; on his way, he met the courier bringing an account of the insurrection at Vienna. After reading the dispatch he struck his forehead, and proceeded on his journey. Thi news pro duced an extraordinary sensation in Piedmont. Several cabinet councils were held. A battery of artillery left Turin on the 20th for Vercelli, escorted by the 14th regiment of infantry, a portion of which was to proceed to Novara, and another to Mortana. The Civic Guard fraternized with the troops previous to their departure. A deputation of Milanese, amongst whom was C. Lue chini, came to demand assistance. The Council of Ministers assembled, and resolved to send off, without delay, all the disposable force towards Lombardy. The expedition was to be commanded by the Duke of Savoy. The Piedmontese journals state that Lombardy had offered itself to Piedmont. " Letters from Genoa inform us that the young men of that city were enrolling themselves to march to the relief of the Lombards. Five thousand had already repaired to the frontier." The Milan mail was still due at Turin on the 22d instant. The llisorginiento, however, contains some intelligence collected on the frontier, from which we extract the following : " At Arona, on the 20th, the greatest excitement pre vailed, and a mass of the neighbouring population, all provided with arms, marched in the afternoon to the relief of the Milanese. On the 21st, a steamer, full of Swiss volunteers, arrived in the same town. A letter from Novara of the 20th states, that the Milanese fought most valiantly against the Austrians, who were still in possession of the bastions, and prevented all ingress into, and egress from, the city. The insurgents were com manded by Barromeo, Litta, and Casati. In the evening of the 19th the tocsin was rung in all the adjacent vil lages, and the inhabitants who could procure arms at tacked the Austrians from without. General Radetsky had accordingly given orders to all the troops detached along the frontiers, and in the rural districts, to fall back on Milan. Three hundred cavalry marched from Pavia on the morning of the 19th, and entered Milan by the Ticinese Gate, not, however, without sustaining a severe loss from the fire of the neighbouring houses. According to another letter from Novara of the 21st inst., General Radetsky had summoned the Milanese to surrender in twenty•four hours, threatening, in case of resistence, to convert their city into a heap of ruins. The Pudesta Casati replied that the people were deter mined to fight to the last, and were not intimidated by his menaces. On the 20th Pavia closed its gates. "It was reported at Turin that Modena was in open insurrection, and that the Austrians had been driven out of the city. Parma had also revolted, and the Duke was believed to be a prisoner in the hands of the in surgents. "On the 21st the cavalry regiments of Genoa and Nizza departed from Turin to join the Piedmontese forces collected on the line of the Ticino, and on the next morning they were followed by a regiment of the guard. " A number of Israelite young men joined, on the 21st, the corps of volunteers proceeding to Chivasso, and were saluted with fraternal acclamations. The Minister of Public Instruction had informed the students of the university who took arms that they should not lose the advantage of their present year of studies." A telegraphic dispatch has been received in Paris, announcing the entrance of the Piedmontese troops into Lombardy to assist the insurgents. The Austrian troops in Milan still held out (on the 21st inst.) Being in want of provisions, they offered to treat, but the Poiesta replied that he would listen to no terms until they :should have evacuated the citadel. The conflict then became more murderous. The result was not known, but the news of the revo lution in Vienna would, no doubt, cause the submis sion of the Austrians. PRUSSIA. All continues tranquil at Berlin. The Berinisehe Zeitung says, that the KING has taken a large number of those of the citizens who were wounded in the combat of liberation on the 18th instant into his palace, and the apartments of the Duchess of MECKLENBURG, where every attention is paid to their comfort. The QUEEN has given her own beds and family linen, and has the meals of the patients cooked in her own kitchen. She pays daily visits to the sufferers, whom she comforts and cheers. Mr. Von AUERSWALD, formerly a distinguished member of the Opposition, and now Minister of State, has arrived at Berlin. The Allgenzeine Preussische Zeitung of the 25th inst. contains a report of the funeral of the soldiers who were killed on the night of the 18th to the 19th, but does not state their number, which, it would appear, is considerable. The funeral procession was chiefly composed of citizens. The strictest order prevailed throughout the ceremony. The Allgemeine Preussische Zeitung of the 26th mentions public works of great extent which are being undertaken to occupy the poorer classes. Canals, churches, and schools, are in the course of construction. Professor DAIILMANN, of Bonn, has been sent for to Berlin, to advise with the Ministry as to the new Constitution. Seventeen of the principal towns of the Rhenish provinces, on the 233, sent delegates to Cologne, and at their meeting a strong address to the KING was agreed upon and signed. In this address the dele gates insisted upon the urgency of the KING granting AUSTRIA. Advices have been received from Vienna to the 21st inst., at which date all was tranquil in that city. The following proclaingtion has been published:— " Order and tranquillity have been re-established, thanks to the good teeling and active assistance of all classes of this city. This favourable state of things, which csu,es me the utmost satisfaction, has induced me to take the necessary steps to revoke, as soon as possible, the extraordinary measures to which the military authorities have had recourse during the last few days. For the honour of the city I hope that my confidence will not be misplaced. " Dated Vienna, March 18, 1848. (Signed) " The PRINCE ALPREI) WINDISCHGRATZ, Lieutenant Field Marshal." " VIENNA, MARCH 22. " PROCLAMATION. " We, Ferdinand 1., by the grace of God Emperor of Austria, King of Hungary, Bohemia, &c., considering the urgent necessity of bringing back public affairs to a systematic course, and of eiribling: the authorities of the Government to meet the immense requirements of the present and the future, we command by these presents that all the authorities do maintain all the existing laws and regulations, in so far as they have not been legally rescinded by us, as in the case of the law of censorship, by our patent of the 15th of this month; and we expect, from the loyal and sound common sense of our sub jects, that they will not only obey the same, but that each man in his own sphere of action will energetically support the public officers in the discharge of their functions.

The Chambers were opened at Munich on the 2-241 by the new King MAXIMILIAN. The following is the SPEECH FROM THE THRONE. "My well-beloved and faithful states of the kingdom. "By the will of the Ring my beloved father and Prince, endowed with all the virtues of a Sovereign, I ascend the Throne. Great are the things he has ac complished during his reign of twenty-three years. His memory will be immortalised, not merely in stone and in iron, but will be indelibly and gratefully impressed upon our hearts. " In my proclamation of yesterday, and in that of the 6th of March, I have expressed the fundamental princi ples of my government. Faithfully and conscientiously will I adhere to those promises, and I am proud to be able to call myself a constitutional King. In order that every remembrance of former dissensions may disappear, I have resolved to grant an simusty for all political offences and transgressions. "I have taken measures which shall bo legally submitted to the states of the kingdom, without delay. They are:—Responsibility of the Ministers—liberty of the press—election for the Chamber of Deputies— speedy arrangements for the representation of the Pala tinxte— abolition of ground -rents—and projection of a new legal code. " I shall like wise cause to be submitted to you the fundamental principles of legislation on the organization of the courts of justice; on proceedings in civil and cri minal cases, and on penal laws, to which will be added the projection of a code of police; the general course of exchange discussed at Leipsic, and a law on the organi zation of the superior ecclesiastical authorities of the Israelites' subsequent projects. I reawear the laws already accorded in the administration of justice with open courts, viva voce proceedings, and trial by jury, likewise a law indicated i n IX. o f the Appendix of the Constitution for increasing the provision of the servants of the state and their families, likewise its extension to other officials of the state, and lastly a law for improving the condition of the Jews. " It is my intention to abolish lotteries, as far as the state of the receipts of the kingdom in these troublous times will admit of ; in every case these receipts will be replaced by others in the next budget. "I have likewise commenced a comprehensive reform in the administration of the Landwehr, for the purpose of effecting a general armament of the people as com mensurate with the times. " Gentlemen, let us calmly and thoroughly investigate these projects of law. The commotions of the times, and the immense interests of our fatherland, demand a closer union of all the German States. I have lost no time in taking measures for concerting the representa tion of the people at the Confederation. We have entered upon a new era in our public life. It is com manded by the spirit which ;iervades Europe. The eye, not of Bavaria, but of Germany is fixed upon the ap proaching deliberations. May they be distinguished by manly independence, by wise moderation, and an abeyance of all revolutionary and destructive ten dencies. " The issues of this Diet will determine the position which Bavaria will hold in Germany. Let us be the beacon-light to all surrounding states. Let our motto be ' Liberty and law.'" ITALY. LOMBARDY. It appears that the rising is general t h r ou g hout the Loinbardo-Venetian kingdom, and t hat e ver ywhere the Austrian troops have been repulsed. According to the Turin journals of the 223, the fighting between the people of 211ilan and the Aus• trian troops had continued during the days of the 19th, 20th, and 21st. The people had at last oh . tamed possession of all the principal p o i n t s o f t h e and were, when the last accounts left,en gaged in attacking the castle. The same journals announce that Modena had risen, and that Parma and Piacenza were in full insurrection. The follow ing are the details given : " On the 19th fighting was still going on, the people being principlly engaged in endeavouring to reduce the castle, which was supposed to contain about 8,000 to 9,000 men. The inhabitants were in great want of ammunition, though a certain supply had been sent from Novara ; they possessed nut less than thirty thousand muskets. Bodies of peasants were flocking in from the neighbouring towns and villages, At the above date Pavia had not risen. A party of Aus trian cavalry and Hungarian artillerymen, on their way from Pavia to Milan, with six pieces of cannon, were attacktd by the people at Binasco, and the cannon taken. LATEST FROM MILAN AND MODENA. The Risorgimento of the 23d instant publishes official accounts from Milan of the 21st. The ad vanced posts of the insurgents, near the gate of Tosa, were established . in the gardens della Passione, from which a fire was opened on the bastio ns occupied by the Austrians. The gate of Verc ellini was also in the possession of the people, who communicated with the exterior through an aqueduct. The barrack of the military engineers had been captured, and 160 soldiers and three officers were taken prisoners. The first fraternized with the insurgents, and joined their ranks. Numerous guerillas traversed the neighbour ing country, and many Swiss and Piedmontese had entered Milan. The enemy had demanded an armistice. All the roads were intercepted by trees cut dawn for the purpose, and the Austrians would, it was be lieved, find it most difficult to effect their retreat. Some shots had been exchanged between the Aus trian and Piedmontese advanced posts at Gravellone on the 21st. On the 19th the people of Parma, on hearing of the insurrection at Milan, rose tumultuously and evinced a disposition to attack the Austrian garrison. The next morning, at five o'clock, the DUKE con voked a Council to deliberate on the measures to be taken. The inhabitants were at that hour in pos session of the principal posts of the city, after a slight collision, in which an Austrian sol Bier and a workman were killed. The whole population was soon afterwards under arms, the tocsin was rung, the firing commenced, and several Hungarian soldiers and officers were killed. Among the latter was the major of the regiment. The people also experienced serious losses. Two of their chiefs, Doctors BRAIBANT amd CRENIA, were both killed. The DUKE became so terrified that he sent for Count CANTELLI and placed himself under his protection. At the suggestion of the latter the Prince resolved to leave the Duchy, and to issue the follow ing proclamation : " We, Charles, being anxious to quit these States with our Royal Family, appoint Count Luigi San Vitikipeti Count Girolamo Cantelli, Couneillw Maestri, • Councillor Pietro Profosor 1 03 Peltigrini, Members of a Regency, to which wogrOV supreme authority, with powers to ;:ivo such institOonfiti and adopt such measures as circu:nstances may LeToilga "In our Royal Palace of Parma, 20th March, ISA:s .? 3 (Signed) " CARLQ." . _ The Regency on being installed named a director of the police and a new military commander of the city.

ROME. The Gazetta di Roma of the 14th contains the fol' lowing additional proclamation of Pius IX. to the people of Rome : " PROCLAMATION.

And if these our expectations should no' fortunately fail to recal our erring subjects to the right path, we intend to test the fidelity of the Civic Guard, and all the forces destined by us for the maintenan ce of public order. We are filled with confidence when we witness the good effect of these our arrangemen ts, and behold the agitation of the public mind everywhere yielding to tranquillity, and those practical sentiments of religion which ought to be professed by a nation pi.: eminently Catholic, and which other nations have a right to regard as a model. " We will not embitter our so u l— we w ill not distre" the hearts of good men by anticipating the resolutions which we should be compelled to adopt in order to avert the dreadful chastisements with which God is accus tomed to recall nations from the errors of their ways we rather cherish a hope th a t th e a p os t o lic benedicti which we freely scatter on all will banish every fata l pressage. " Datum Rome, apud Sanctum Mariam Majorem, di e , XIV. Martii, MDCCCXLVIII., wane IL " PIUS PAPA a." Pmt ifieetus nostrs SOUTHWARK.—(THIS DAY-) Richard Best was charged with creating a disturbanc e :it the Victoria Theatre, and assaulting the police. It appeared that on the preceding night, during t he performance, th e defendant, who occupied a seat in the boxes, caused considerable annoyance to the audience by his extraordinary conduct. A shrill sound Ng" heard to proceed from the spot where he sat, and it was first supposed that he made it himself, but upon being watched it was discovered that he had a large monkey concealed underneath his coat, which ho pinched until lie made it squeak in the most discordant manner. A gentleman requested the defendant to desist, but he refused, and after an angry altercation on the subject struck the former, The police were now called in, when the de fwtelant refused to stir, and the monkey, on finding struggle take place between his owner and the police man commenced squeaking out more lustily than ever, and continued the uproar until he and his master were taken to the station-house, the latter resisting moat violently, and assaulting a policeman. The defendant complained that his view of the pro ceedings on the stage was interrupted by a gentleman who stood before him, and that an altercation having taken place, the monkey which be was taking home began to make a noise, which he would have silenced , had he not encountered such opposition from the police. Mr. SECKER said the defendant's conduct was highly reprehensible in taking a monkey to a public theatre, and that he should fine him 20s. for the assault on the policeman.

This volume cannot ba too widely disseminated at this moment, to dispel the mischievous tendency of the plan of this member of the Provisional Government of France, and disabuse the English people of the wild notions of our neighbours, which only require to bo submitted to the sober common sense of our countrymen to prove their hollowness and fallacy.
