As Pro• visional Minister of the Interior, Al. LIMIIII ROLLIN endeavoured by an assumption of integrity to justify the proceedings of his arrogant and unconsci entious emissaries. M. CRLXIEUX, in his capacity 1% i Provisional Minister of Justice , ex p lained V I laity, but the imperturbable resolution evinced towa r d with 1., ' the magistracy, and the solicitude , which that vast and responsible body of admi. nistrators baaddiakie n . revised and purified under his particular of "his noble adjudication. Speaking as the colleague friend, the Citizen ALBERT," N. LOW BLANC expatiated upon those most seductive visions of Democracy, -his theories as to the Organization of Labour, and endeavour e d to illustrate the necessity for a . the establishme n t ~f linistry of Toil and Pro . grass. theSunsequeltilovn,ai ii)i,l)htical consciences of N. of N.

GARNIER PAGES to reserve the pero ration of his discourse f or the columns niteur— the explanations of the Provisionalof the Mo Govern ment would not hfi - ve risen above an interest at ones ev anescent and mediocre, but for the rcumstance the man, and the oration by which they were intro duced. Wan tb venerable DUPONT (de l'Eure) craved the indulgence of the National Assembly in conse quen;ev w the abatement of his vhysical energies, when he entreated its members to permit the substitutiun of one of his colleagues as the deliverer of the pre amble to the different reports prepared by the Al is ters of the Provisional Government, and when, above all, President BUCLIEZ announced the name of that illustrious substitute by demanding a hearing for the Citizen LAMARTINE—no marvel that the Palace of the National Representa'ives resounded with their en thusiasm. For LAMARTINE is recognised throughout Christendom as the high priest of the political religion of France. With Ids came are identified all those beneficent acts of modera ion which have proved the salvation of his country and have covered with an imperishable glory the councils of the Provisional Administration. His voice was not more audible when he apostrophized the tri colour from the staircase of the Hotel de Ville with the pikes of an infuriated rabble at his breast, and their swords brandished before his noble and unblenched visage, than it has been in every one of those benign proclamations which have, from time to time, testified to Europe the purity, the amenity, and the disin terestedness of French republicanism. His hand was not more visible in the composition of his celebra'ed manifesto to the diplomatists of the eastern hemisphere than it has been in each of those memorable deerees which have afforded practical testimonies of the reign of fraternity. In spite of this, LAMARTINE on behalf of himself and his provisional associates ap pealed fur forgiveness to the National Assembly. " Citizen representatives," said he, " bestow upon us an amnesty for our i nv oluntary dictatort.hip— Amnestiez noire dicta ture involontazre .' An am nesty ! Yes : the amnesty of France will be her eternal gratitude. 'Without following the orator throughout his brilliant address, a translation of which will be found elsewhere, we cannot but direct attention to a few of those sudden ebullitions of eloquence with which he stirs up the whole soul, enthralls the senses, and entr ances th e imag i n ation of a multitude. It was i n a sp l en did moment of inspiration th a t, re f err i ng to t h e abolition of the punishment of death as the first act France emancipation an d on E the Europe p e 24t h o f ( F ) f e t ia h r e ua p r e y o , pl h e e after exclaimed--" their com prehended (in th a t act ) that lion had in truth ro his in spirations in the crowd, and that a revolution in augurated by greatness of soul, would - be pure as an Idea, magna n i mous as a sentiment , holy and as a virtue—La F rance et L'Europe comprirent que DIET; avait ses inspirations dans la foule, et qu'une re volution inauguree par la grandeur d'ame serait pure comme une idee, magnanime comme un senti nent, salute comma une vertu." In a con spirit he spoke of the people during , he crises of the Revolution thus :—" Each citizen at Paris was at one and the same moment a soldier of liberty, and a spontaneous magistrate of order— " Chaque citoyen a Paris etait a la fuis soldat de la liberty et magistrat volontaire de l'ordre." Remem. Bering, indeed, the glorious conduct of those citizens during the three days of February, and long after wards, posterity will corroborate the panegyric of LAMARTINE ; and, hearing in recollection two inci dents of this final Revolution—the abolition of capital punishment, 'an :l the reverence p4i I to the Inarble crucifix of the Tuileries—the hisrorian will .late the close of that famous month of February as the epoch in which the predilection of tt,e humane romancist was realist —" The cross shall re place the gibbet!" Congratulating himself and his compatriots upon the result of their recent endea vours, M. DE LAMARTINE thus gives articulate mean ing to his emut:ons :—" Thanks be to GOD, who has never more evidently manifested his intervention in the cause of the people and of the human mind—thanks be r.O that people itself, which has never more majestically revealed its treasures of reason, of civism, of generosity, of patience, of morality, of that true civilization which fifty years of imperfect freedom has matured in its soul, we have been enabled to accomplish, very imperfectly without doubt, but not without good fortune, a portion of that immense and pe rilous labour of which events have imposed upon us the responsibility. We have founded the Republic, that government declared to be im possible in France, unless accompanied by foreign vvar, civil war, anarchy, prisons, and the scaffold ; we have shown the Republic to be happily compatible with European peace, with internal tranquillity, with voluntary order, with individual liberty, with the sweetness and the serenity of the manners of a nation to whom hatred is an abomination, and to whom har mony is a national instinct." In a preceding portion of his harangue, this great orator had pre-explained his meaning as to the source of the proclamation of the Republic, and he had done so in these vivid and burning words—words that moved the heart if the Assembly as the sound of the trumpet stirs the heart of the war horse— " The throne subversed, the dynasty self-exiled, we did not proclaim the Republic : it had been already proclaimed by th 3 mouth of an entire people : we only recorded the cry of the nation." Of the many passages of this oration, however, which appear ro ; us suffused with the glory of a superb elo quence, the last percrative sentence appears to us to be 'he very noblest. It is the sublime aspiration that tlistory, in recounting the great deeds just accom ,lished by France, will apportion her eulegiums with justice. " May she," exclaimed LANARTINE, " in :read of the obscure and perishable names of nen who have devoted themselves to the corn non safety, inscribe upon her pages two names done—the name of the people who have saved all, the name of GOD who has blessed all, upon the 'oundatiuns of the Republic." :Nobly, bravely, ;enerously, sublimely, has the Provisional Govern ment abdicated with that farewell aspiration on its ,ips--on the lips, at least, of its illu,trions leader, the poet, statel.man, orator, historian, LAmARTINE. The United Irishman has again appeared, and on ;his occasion without having been subjected to the indignity of a lawyer's revision, as a guarantee for the moderation of its contents, awl for the safety of the parties who would in any manner aid or assist in its publication. One printer, or we should rather say machine-owner, only in the Irish metropolis could be round with sufficient hardihood to endorse the politi- :al acceptances of Mr. MITCHELL without such a col .ateral security, and he, it appe.,rs, was only enabled .:o print half the usual quantity of matter.

Mr. MIT CHELL says—" The truth is, that before any of us went to Limerick at all, and before the objectionable printed in the United Irishman, Mr. intimated to me his aversion t o an y public p o aT i3 ag gi r r ap s h was association with me, and his strong wish that I should not accompany him and Mr. MEAGUER in their proposed tour to the south, in which they con templated the holding of meetings at New •ItoSs, \Sratarford, Cork, and Limerick. lat lance yielded to his wish, and undertook to use the leisure which must intervene before the trial in visiting some towns of 1.71,ter, in company with my friend Mr. MARTIN. Mr. MARTIN, however, being confined to his house by an accident, and not being able to make any preliminary engagements, I accepted an invitation to some meetings in England, and actually went to England, but was suddenly recalled by the Attorney-General, who required my presence in Dublin. I then went to Limerick on the special invitation of the Committee of the Limerick Re peelers." So then, after all, JOHN MITCHELL was an unwelcome intruder upon the territory of his asso ciates—the other members of what was once the triumvirate who probably anticpated the warm re ception he would receive from the Southerners. He then enters fully into the nature of the differences, and fairly reveals the dissensions that really existed among the members of that apparently happy family the Irish Confederation, and which led to the threatened resignation of Mr. O'BRIEN on Monday last—a resignation which he was only induced to recal upon being assured that Mr. MITCHELL and his Pus Achates, Mr. DEVIN REILLY, would wholly withdraw from the society, and leave him without a rival near the throne. This was acceded to, and letters were sent in by those gentlemen, stating—and certainly in fair and moderate terms—the true reason of their withdrawal. The truth, however, did not suit the managers of the Confederation, and the resignations were ascribed to the Limerick occur rences—a line of conduct which Mr. MITCHELL con siders by no means justifiable. Two circumstances are now perfectly clear from the publication to which we have adverted ; first, that the differences and dissensions that exist among even the leaders of the Confederation, and the " Young Ireland" party generally, are such as to render them utterly feeble as a body, and to prevent the possibility of any real danger to the well-dis poseds and loyal inhabitants o f the countr y ; and, se condly, that the new Act has pro ved m o re effica• cious than even its most strenuous advocates could have expected, and that so long as its salutary pro visions are in force the writers in the United Kish. man and the Nation, the declaimers in the Confederation and at the various meetings throughout the country, " et hoc-genus came," will take good care to keep themselves free from the penalties that may be incurred fur " open and adviied speaking and writing," and that they will prefer remaining in Ire land even under what they are pleased to term " the Saxon domination," to making a voyage at the national expense to the British settlements at Norfolk Island or Macquarrie Harbour. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY , EVENING, MAY 8, 1848 fo have recourse to such minute inquiry relative to the earelidates as we Old distineuish t,,r0l the guide that many electors had to trust to in giving their votes was public notoriety. But in the case under discussion such a guide had been found an erroneous one, and a person designated as a workman in the pre liminary lists, was afterwards found not to belong to the working classes. The votes of the electors who had been thus led into error ought, he conceived, to return to them intact, with full power to exercise their right of suffrage as they please]. You, continued the Hon. Member. addressing the Assembly, you who are the representatives of the sovereign power of the peopi —why should you interfere with the exercise of the right e hich has sent you here ? Ycu have no right to interfere with the right of voting given to the people ; you should let them use it with the utmost freedom.— (Hear, hear.) Hence I propose to you to call on the electors of tee Seine to proceed to a new election for a Member in the place of the person whose election has just been annulled.--(Hear.) Several other speakers followed, and the conversation became exceedingly noisy. Indeed, throughout the whole proceedings the Honourable Representatives evinced a warmth of manner and an exercise of voice which would be thought unnecessary, if not indecorous, in England. At last the President consulted the As sembly on the propriety of terminating the discussion, which was replied to affirmatively. The Assembly then proceeded to declare their opinion by a show of hand,. The first being declared doubtful, a second was proceeded to, and that being also not suffi ciently decisive, a ballot was ordered by the President. The votes were then given with the following result:— Number of voters Absolute majerity 357 For a new election For the 35th candidate Majority —ll6 A new election was accordingly ordered The next business before the Chamber was the re port of the Provisional Government relative to their con duct in assuming and exercising their power since the revolution of February. M. Dupont (de l'Eure),' to whom the task of reading this document devolved, would re quest the Assembly to permit NI. de Lamartine to relieve him of a task which would be too much for his strength. M. de Lamartine ascended the tribune and said— Citizens, I am about to read to you the report of the Provisional Government:— " Citizsn Representatives—At the moment when you are entering on the exercise of your sovereignty—at the moment when we deliver back into your hands the powers d'urgence which the revolution had entrusted us provi sionally, we owe you, in the first place, an account of the situation in which we found, and then one of that in which you yourselves found, the country. A revolution broke out on Feb. 24, the people overturned the Throne, and swore on its ruins to reign from that time forward alone and altogether by itself. It charged us with the task of provisionally providing for the necessities and dangers of the interregnum which it had to traverse, in order to arrive wi.h order and without anarchy at its unanimous and definitive reign. Our first thought was to abridge that interregnum, by immediately convoking the representatives of the nation, in whom alone exist right and strength. Plain citizens, without any other call on us than that of public danger without any other title but our devotedness, almost trembling, to accept, and most anxious to restore the destinieswhoi:ehrhathdebeeri dictatorshipconfieled to us fur the good of our country, wit had only o n e am tboititihe m, sthoavtereefigsttpiey o e , rit!, delivering the re ople. The Thr one b e i ng overturned, and the dynasty dep , a o r p t t i , n . g — i ( fi L to ou e d xi apl l p e,i a t u w se a . : net we who proclaimed the Republic — it proclaimed it. write down p what the cry of the s A e f l b w e e - the did mouth was to of na tion called f o r."—(Renewed applause.) The President wished to remind the Assembly that however legitimate and justly called for might he the expression of its approbation, still a document Lice the present ought to be listened to in the deepest silence. M. de Lamartine in continuation—" The first thought after the proclamation was directed to that which wary most important—the re-establishment of order arid se curity in P:tris. In that task, which would have been more d,fficult and mere meritorious at another time and in another country, we ware aided by the co-Opera. tion of the great body of citizsiis ; whilst it still told, with one hand, the musket with which it had just burst like a thutiderstroke on the King and his family, with the other it protected the life and property of the inhabitants—preserved from injury the public monuments. Each citizen at Paris was at the same time the soldier of liberty and the volunteer magistrate of order.—(Profound applause.) History has enregistereci the innumerable acts of heroism, probity, and disinter estedness which characterised the first days of the Re public. Hitnerto flattery had been lavished on the people in speaking of its virtues—posterity, which never flatters, will find no expressions adequately strong to do justice to the dignity and bearing of the people of Paris. It was that people which inspired us with the idea of the first decree destined to assign its true signification to the victory—the decree for abolishing the penalty of death in political matters. It inspired that decree, adopted it, and signed it, by the acclamation of 290,000 voices on the Place de de Ville and the neigh bouring quays. Not one cry of anger protested. France and Europe comprehended that God had h:s inspirations in that crowd, and that a revolution inaugurated by greatness of soul, would be pure as an idea, magnani mouse as a sentiment, holy as a virtue.—(Appluuse.) The red flag, presented for au instant, not as a symbol of menace and disorder, but as a momentary flag of victory, was put aside by the combatants themselves, in order to place the Republic under the protection of that tri-coloured , flag which had defended its cradle, and carried the glory of our armies over every continent and sea. After having established the authority of the Go vernment in Paris, the next step was to have the Republic acknowledged in the departments, in Algeria, and in the army. Telegraphic dispatches and couriers sufficed. France, the colonies, the troops, of their own accord, acknowledged the Republic. There was no ' resistance from any quarter. Our second thought was for the exterior. Europe, in a state of indecision, awaited the first word of France ; that first word was the abolition de facto and de jure of the reactionary treaties of 1815, liberty restored to our foreign policy, the declaration of peace for territories; of sympathy for nations, of justice, good faith,and moderation for govern ments. France by that manifesto disarmed her ambition but did not disarm her ideas—she let her principle of action shine forth fully. Her war went no further. The special report of the Minister of Foreign Affairs w ill s h o w you what this system of open diplomacy has produced for France, and what it will, in all likeli hood, still produce fur France. That policy commanded the Minister of War to adept measures in harmony with that se stem of armed negotiation. He established, with energ y, discipline which had been shaken; he called back, with honour, to Paris, the army, a moment removed from our walls, when the people were given arms for themselves. The people thenceforward in vincible, soon demanded, with loud cries, that their brothers in the army should be restored to them—not as a se curity, but an ornament to the capital. The army in Paris was tio longer anything but au honourable gar isou, destined to prove to our brave soldiers that the capital of the common country belonged to all her chil dren. We, in addition, decreed the immediate formation of a council of defence, and the formation of tour dis tricts of observation—that of the Alps, the Rhine, tho North, and the Pyrenees. Our navy, confided to the guidance of the same Minister, was placed tinder the command of officers who soon bi ought it to such a state of discipline as vigilance de manded. The fleet of Toulon went to show our colours to the friends of France on the shores of the Mediterranean. The army of Algiers had not an hour's, not a minute's hesitation the Republic and the country were confounded in their thoughts in the same sentiment of duty. An officer whose republican senti ments and talents were pledges alike to the army and to the revolution, General Cuvaignac, received the com mand of Algeria. Corruption, which had penetrated into the most sacred institutions, obliged the Minister of Justice to effect certain purifications called for loudly by the public voice. It was necessary to separate promptly the judicial situations from everything political. The Minister with grief, but with an inflexible hand, effected the separation. In proclaiming the Republic, the cry of France had riot proclaimed merely a form olgovernment, it had proclaimed a principle.. The princ pie in question was that of practical democracy, equality by rights, and fraternity by institutions. The revolution accomplished by the people ought to be organized in our opinion, for the profit of the people, by a continued series of frater nal and tutelary institutions, calculated to confer regularly on all conditions, individuals, dignity, in structionmorality, elements of labour, corn s ;nd accession to property which should suppresstort, assistance, th man ag,ee:o servile n h a e tn ig e h ( t if o p t r p ol o %t s u e ir „ e i , n v anti e e lreivgahtte, thethe working duty, elevate and enrich th e one without de g rading the other; an d well-being of the tirst - bor n to p ro p ert y.

The tall of the monarchy, the diso rder of the finances, the mo• mentary decl a ssification o f an immense mass of work men from the various manuf actories ; the p ublic debt of nearly a milliard, which the fallen Government had accumulated ; the industrial and commercial crisis which prevailed everywhere on the Continent, and which toak place at the same time with the political crisis of Paris ; the enormous accumulation of railway and other shares; in fine, the imegination of the country, whioh always goes beyond the truth in peri,.ds of political disturbance or social terror, had dried up the capital that gave work —had caused specie to disappear—and had suspend, d tree amid voluntary labour, the only labour sufficient for 35,000,000 of people. It was nee, scary to supply the , want provisionally, or be false to all the principles, all the sentiments of prudence, all the necessities of succour. put forth by the It-public. The Minister of F nance will tell you how these difficulties relative to labour ant: credit were met, whilst waiting for the moment, at lengte come round, w h e n confidence restore d to men's mind., should restore capital into the hands of the manatee ' tuners and wages to the workman. The Department o. Public Instruction and Worship, placed in the same hand, was, as respected Gov , rumen, a manifestation of inten tion, and for the country a forecast of the new situation which the Republic was determined to enter into, for recessity of a s , sern nations I instruction and of more real independence. of worship, equal and free before the human conscience and the law. The Minis ter of Agriculture and Commerce—a deportment quite separated by its nature from political matters—could only prepare with zeal, and sketch out with sagacity, the new institutions called on, to turn to better account the first of useful arts; he stretched forth the hand of the state to the suffering interests of commerce, which you alone can restore by security. Such were cur dif ferent and incessant solicitudes. Thanks to Provi dence, who never manifested in a more evident man ner His interference in the cause of the people and of the human mind—thanks to the people themselves, who never better exhibited the treasures of reason, generosity, patience, morality, and r ea l c i v ili sat i on , ehich fifty years of imperfect liberty have elaborated in their souls—we have been able to accomplish, though very imperfectly, no doubt, yet still not without some success, a part of the immense and perilous task which events flung on our shoulders.—(Cheers.) We have ft,unded the Republic, that government declared impossible in France on any other conditions than a foreign war, a civil war, anarchy, prisons, and the scaf feld; we have shown the Republic to be perfectly coin petible with peace with Europe, with voluntary order, with liberty of the subject, with gentleness and mildness in the habits of a people for whom hatred is a heavy punishment. and harmony a natural instinct; which have promuleated the great principles of equality, fraternity, and unity; which must, by developing them selves every day more and more in our laws, made by all and for all, accomplish the unity of people by the unity of the representation. We have renderesl the right of the citizen universal, by rendering universal the right of election, and universal suffrage has re sponded to our decision. We have armed the whole people in the National Guard, and the whole people has responded to us, by consecrating the arms which we be stowed to the unanimous defence of the country, of order, and of the laws. We have passed forty-five days without any other executive force than the moral autho rity, the rights of which the nation was pleased to re cognise in us; and that people consented to let itself be governed by words, by our counsels, by its own generous inspirations. We have passed through more than two months of crisis, of cessation of work, of misery, of elements of political agitation and social anguish accumulated in innumerable masses throughout a capital of a million and a half of inhabitants, without property being violated, without a life being menaced by anger, without a single proscription or political impri sonment, or a drop of blood shed in our name having cast a shade of sadness on the Government in Paris.— (Great cheering ) We may redescend from that long dictatorship on the public street, and mix ourselves with the people, without any one being able to ask us ' What have you done as a citizen?' Before calling the National Assembly to Paris we completely assured its security and independence by arming and organizing the National Guard, arid by giving it for its protectors the whole armed people. Factions are no longer possible in a Republic, where there are no divisions between political and non-political citizens, between armed and unarmed citizens. Every one has his right, every one has his weapon. In such a state of things, insurrection is no longer the extreme right opposed to oppression; it would be a crime. He who would separate himself from the people is no longer of the people. This is the unanimity which we have made; perpetuate it, for in it consists the common safety. Citizen representatives, our work is accomplished; yours commences. The presentation even of a plan 01 government, or of a project of a constitution, would be on our parts a rash prolongation of power, or an en croachment on your sovereignty. We disappear now that you are assembled to receive the Republic from the hands of the people. We shall only allow one counsel, one wish, and that in our title of citizens, and not as members of the Provisional Government. That wish, cittaens, France participates with us. It is that you lose not time—that principal element of human affairs. Atter having absorbed in yourselves the sovereignty, do not allow a fresh interregnum to weaken the springs of the country. Let a commencement of government issue from your bosom. Do not permit the power to float for a moment, precarious and provisional, over a country which has need of government and security. Let a committ , a on a constitution, emanating from your suf frages, introduce without delay, into your deliberations, the simple mechanism, brief and democratic, of the constitution, the organic and secondary laws of which you can discuss at your leisure. In the mean time, as members of the Government, we remit our porters into your hands. We also submit to your judgment with the fullest confidence all our acts; we only ask you to take into account ail the difficulties we have had to en counter. Our conscience reproaches with no intentional wrong. Providence has favoured our efforts. Grant us an amnesty for our involuntary dictatorship. All our ambition at present is to return to the tranquillity of good citizens. Then only the history of our dear country will write down with indulgence, aid in a grade far below the things effected by France, the recital of those three months passed in a sort of vacuum between a monarchy which had fallen to pieces and a republic to be established ; and in place of the obscure anti for gotten names of the men who devoted themselves to the common safety, may only two names be inscribed on the historical page—that of the people who saved everything. and of God, who threw a blessing on everything con nected with: the foundation of the Republic !"—(Tre mendous cheering, which was renewed three several times.) As the Honourable 'Member withdrew to his place he was warmly felicitated by his friends, and on his ar riving close to M. Dupont (de l'Eure) the old man embraced him with transport. The President—l think that the best mode of proceed ing will be to follow the line of succession adopted by M. de Lamartine.—(Assent.) I therefore call on the Minister of the Interior to present his report. M. Ledru Rollin, Provisional Minister of the Interior —Citizen representatives,—Called to the Provisional Go vernment by the wishes of the people, I owe you an account of the administration of the Department of the Interior, which was confided to me.—(Movement of curiosity.) You will not expect from me long details. Ready as I am to reply to all your interpellations, I confine myself to a rapid exposé of our acts, and of the motives by which they were dictated. Carried to the Government by tho triumph of Republican principle, for which I have combatted all my life—for from my Mid to this day I have never varied—l have resolutely de fended its maintenance. The deep faith which I have always avowed to it when it was persecuted cannot but be strengthened by its striking and glorious victory at Paris, and "its unanimous acclamation throughout all France. Convinced that the safety of the country depends on the complete development of all the conse quences of the revolution, I have watched over it with a jealous care. I have wished that on all points of the territory it should be respected and understood. At the same time it was necessary, by prompt and decisive measures, to prevent any attack on order, and to reunite the cord of the administration which had been violently broken. This twofold idea suggested the sending into the departments commissaries invested with unlimited powers.—(Murmurs.) Unli mited powers! This necessary word has been laid hold of to direct against me the most violent attacks. In or der to judge of ir, it is necessary to go back two months, and then it will be understood, and it will be also com prehended, that on the day following the revolution, surrounded by the conquerors trom the barricades, I could not without bring guilty of treason confide to other bands than theirs the deposit and the defence of liberty. —( Approbation.) Full of ardour, of devotedness, and of civic faith, they would penetrate the country with the idea which they had rendered triumphant. Doubt less many among them were not administrators. Who can contest that point ? The question does not lie there. Soldiers were necessary to continue and propagate the victory, and particularly to render it durable and pacific. That faults have been committed is very possible. When I was informed of them I did not hesitate to revoke them. But let any one bring forward, in the midst of this great and rapid movement, a single serious attack against the rights of citizens by those firm awl courageous men, whom it has not been feared to designate as Pro-Consuls. The citizens have replied to it by giving their votes to the greater number of those who are now assembled among you. More over, the instructions sent by me, and which have served as the pretext of so many outcries, were indispensable. I should not have written them, had they not been created by the force of circumstances a cule, Being the emanation of a revolutionary pun dt!, I could not transmit a regular and limited authority. Placed in face of unioreseen events, I should have been guilty of weakening my agents by rules above which the safety of the country had raised us. I moreover knew, and I have said it, that the moral responsibility which ac companies the momentary exercise of great power prevents and corrects the abuse of if; that it is necessary to give beforehand the means of overcoming all obsta cles, in order that obstacles shall not present themselves. —(Hear, hear.) My public instructions, the firmness or which had more particularly for object to remove for ever guilty hopes, have been every day explained by my correspondence. I am ready to submit to the Assembly the voluminous documents of that labour, and I have no fear of its finding one dispatch which does not bear the imprint at once of an ardent desire to make the revolu tion triumph, and of a constant desire for conciliation, order, and peace.—(Applause). It is to the attainment of this twofold object that all my efforts nave been di rected. I should have been inconsistent with my former lite, I should have given the lie to the doctrines which I have constantly professed, if I had not been at the same time the man of the revolution who .would transform society and the country, and the man of the government who accomplishes progress by the power of ideas, and proscribes all appeal to disord er ari d v i o l ence. It is thus that in a few days I caused the National Guard of Paris to be armed and equipped, and endeavoured (at least by making known my wishes) to do the same with that of the departments, persuaded that a disciplined musket was ao instrument of order, because it was the symbol of the dignity of the citizen.—(Cries of " Yes, 3 es.") I provided tor the organization, the clothing, and the support of the Garde Mobile; to the creation of this sedentary corps destined to maintain order in this grt at city; to the formation of a new institution, that of the Gar diens de Paris, connecting by an indissoluble bond the tnuuicipel and the judicial police, and placing public security under a constant surveillance. In the du)s of trouble and uneasiness I watched unceasingly; it is by an absolute devotedness to my duties that I replied to the infamous calumnies of which I have been the object. I have never seen in this unexampled invective anything but an additional reason to intrepidly defend a cause which the fury of some senseless persons wished to com promise in my person. I had confidence in the good sense of the nation, in the justice of the Assembly, and I thought that, soldier of the revolution, I should s uffer everything for it, and not lose, in n o ti cing o dious false hoods, the precious time which its services demanded. All my acts, moreover, are public; then free dis cussion belongs to you, tuld now that your sovereignty discharges me from the burden of tiff tins, all privet, estrum: fied tn. rea,'.. ' C , . 7 pissed through the most olffieul: circum , tattces by re mining within the limits of my budget. I prepared and organized in three weeks the application of universal suffrage, and nevertheless, allow rue to tell you, that if by some I am accused of some errors in its detail, suffi cient allowance has not been made for the infinite and persevering labour by which I have been able through out the whole extent of the Republic to bring into operation a mode of election which only three months since was declared to be iinpossib&. For my own part, I shall be proud of having been the instrument of :itis first act of virility on the cart of a people recover ing its rights. Proceeding on these general prin• ciples, I should have wished to have introduced into the mechanism of the administration changes destined to render it more simple and more demo cratic. I thought that those reforms should not be either isolated or partial, and that they would be more wisely accomplished by him who would hold a defini tive power from your sovereignty. I feared to throw dis order into the administrative action at a moment when it was most essential to preserve its regularity. And besides--why should I conceal it? lam mere particu larly anxious to save the revolution and order. I wished to preserve to the victory of the p ople its grandeur, its purity, and its social bearing; I also wished, in defend irg it against the snares and attacks of reaction, to shelter it from the violence of ambition and of dangerous impatience. "Thus when, replying to an imprudent pro ceeding, the whole population of Paris came unarmed to surround the Provisional Government with its pacific waves, I unreservedly united myself with this solemn demonstration; but on the day when some madmen en deavoured to•pervert the sense and the result of a similar manifestation, I did not hesitate to oppose it. It was by my of ders that the rappel was beaten, and that the Na,- tional Guard, which is now the country, assembled to mia with the citizens who were sot armed, and to protest against any violent attempt.—(Approbation.) This re solution, fur from being an effUrt on my part, was only the eonsequences of the principles which have always guided me, et/en in the opposition. In my eyes, it was a great day when the ideas which were destined to con• qaer the world elaborated themselves. As inflom ble against ambitions which provoke coups de main as against reactions which enchain revolutionary movement, I have always considered that a statesman should march with a firm step between the dreams of utopists and sec tarians, and the rebellious tenacity of egotistical in terests. One does not truly rely but on ideas which are ripe. Veritable superiority consists in distinguishing those measures which may reasonably be put in practice. The hand of the people has now torn away the veil. Doubt is no longer possible fur any one. Imprudent and culpable would be he who would wish to stop the revolution by the sterile conquest of political turns. These forms are but an instrument of liberty placed in the hands of the nation called on henceforth to estab lish itself. For it the path is traced out and the object indicated. It is to realise in social order the dogma of equality and fraternity that all our efforts ought to tend. Supporters of that holy cause, we shall be worthy of our mission, in accepting it in its full bearing, and by it we shall not only have restored man to his natural dignity, but we shall have secured the glory and the happiness of our common country, and contributed to the eman cipation of the world —( Applause.) M. CREMIEUX, the Minister of Justice, then pre sented his report, which did . not produce any great effect. Still less effective was the address of M. LOUIS BLANC which followed, and which was, of course, on the organization of labour. The report of JL GARNIEB PAGES, the Finance Minister, was completely inaudible. The Hon. Minister's voice failed at the commencement, and he completely broke down before he had concluded. The President consulted the Chamber as to the propriety of sitting on Sunday, but a large majority declared themselves against Sunday sittings. An observation of one of the Members, to the effect that the Assembly ought not to suspend its sitrings until the public safety should have been assured, drew from Citizen CAUSSIDIERE, the Prefect of Police (a member of the Ledru and Barbes party), a declaration that at present the state of public security was per fect. The Assembly adjourned at six o'clock. They have yet to receive the report of Citizen LAMARTINE on Foreign Affairs. It is said that it was on Satur day the duty of Barbes regiment of National Guards to furnish a guard to the Assembly, but that by ex press orders the duty had been transferred to another regiment. The Grand National fête is fixed for the 14th. The Moniteur gives an official contradiction to the report that the Army of the Alps had been ordered to enter Piedmont. The Constitutionnel states that the port of Cher bourg is to be put in a complete state of defence. Besides the immense quantity of cannon with which the bastions and ramparts are provided, the dyke is to be defended by floating batteries, composed of old ships. It was for this purpose that a battery has been sent from Vincennes. In the same journal we find the following:— " We are assured that, at seven o'clock yesterday morning, the drummers of the 2d leljon took an order to all the National Guard of the arrolichssement to pro ceed, in uniform and without arms, to the customary place of meeting. At nine o'clock, a great number of them had answered the appeal, and were at the rendez vous. They then mutually interrogated each other as to the motives of the convocation. It was said that the Colonel, M. Claient Thomas, bad called them in conse quence of orders from General Courtais, to make a poli tical demonstration. What was the meaning of the de ministration which was demanded from them? The ex planations which were given were various. It was in tended, said some, to offer to the Provisional Government a striking act of adhesion to the Republic; whilst others pretended that it was intended to offer an expression of sympathy to M. Lamartine, in reply to a demonstration made on the pri ceding day by some citiz-ns in favour of of M. Ledru Rollin. The National Guards, rem, in hering that a demonstration of the whole National Guard had been misrepresented, were unanimously of opinion that they ought to abstain tram that to which they were invited, whatever might be the character of it. Some moments after they were told, again as was said on the part of General Courtais, that the d ministration had been countermanded. The National Guards took advantage of the singular incident which had cowed them to be assembled to agree to a petition, demanding that the G. neral-in-Chiet of the National Guard stn;uld be nominated by election. Did she same circumstances occur in other legions? Some information might lead us to believe it; but from enquiries instituted, we have acquired the certainty that, in several legions, nothing of the kind took place, However this m a y be, without . entering into explanations on the singularity o f th e inci dent, without seeking whether it were really an order of the chief's, if it were a misunderstanding, or a snare laid for the National Guard to cause it to take the initiative of these irregular demonstrations, in order to give excuse for others id a contrary kind on the following ria)—we cannot refrain from approving the wise reserve which the National Guard maintained. The time has passed for these votes en muse in the public streets. The people have at present their regular representatives. All questions are reserved to the sovereign decisii,n of that great power. The real, the only demonstration, which the Nal ional Guard has to make in favour of the Republic is to watch with zeal over the safety of the Assembly, and to protbct, by its imposing and pacific force, the lib. rty of the deliberations." A decree of the Provisional Government, dated May 5, directs that an amnesty shall be accorded to all the individuals under prosecution for the dis turbances which took place at Valence on the 3d, 4th, and 14th April, as also for those at Amiens; and all proc-,edings commenced are put an end to. On Thursday the 3d battalion of the Ist Legion of the National Guard gave a banquet to the dif ferent regiments of the army arid to the Garde Nationale Mobile, stationed in Paris, to which all ranks were admitted. The .most perfect har mony pervaded the whole meeting. Commandant BOURCART proposed a toast to the Republic, the Garde Mobile, and the army. The Colonel of the 2d Regi ment of Dragoons returned it by the following :- -" To ihe National Guard, our elder Sister I The Army, her younger Sister, will follow her wherever she is called to defend and secure Order in Liberty !" A. private of the Garde Mobile, in well-conceived terms, proposed a toast to the National Guard and the Army conjointly. At the conclusion of the day a subscription amounting to 400 fr. was made, and will be offered t o th e comm i ssion for receiving and dis posing of patriotic gifts. On Thursday, while the National Assembly was being opened, M. Thiers was seen, in the uniform of a private of the national guard, doing duty as sentinel at the Mairie of the second arrondissement. We read in the Constitutionne 1 of Saturday—. "In the fourth number of the Commune de Paris of yesterday we find the following lines : —' Yesterday evening, the Minister of the Interior replied t o a citiz who went to ask him the news from Rouen, that all was appeased, that the investigation and the prosecution w hi c h the magistrates had the infamy to institute against the people who were mas,acr, d wa s now directed against tha hideous armed bourgeoisie, auth or of this Saint Bartho lomew.'

We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and of yesterday. The result of the election:of President on Friday we gave in The Sun of Saturday. It was not announced to the Chambers until six o'clock. It was"then proposed to proceed to the election of Vice. Presidents, secre taries, and questors. This was vehemently opposed by the ultra party, who moved the adjournment of the Assembly to the next day, their object being to gain time, in order to bring the Clubs to act on the Almernhly, Cr.. the p‘trposes of intimidation. In this, however, they were unsuccessful. The ballot pro ceeded, and the following were the results : For the Vice-President, the number of members voting was 727, and the votes were thus distributed:— M. Recurt, 633; M. Cavaignac, 575; M. Corbon, 397; M. Guinard, 378; M. Curmenin, 319; M. Senars, 315. The election for the six secretaries gave the following result:—M. Peupin, 365; M. Robert, 333; M. De georges, 325; M. Pyatt, 322; tli. Lacrosse, 287; M. I'ean, 252; M. Mathey, 208; M Vignerte, 200; M. E. Lafayette, 198; M. Ravin, 177; M. Froussard, 113. The six first, having obranstd the sufficient number of votes, were declared duly elected. The definitive bureau of the Assembly being now con stituted, the temporary President and Secretaries yielded up their places to their successors. M. Buchrz, the definitive President, then addressed the Assembly, thanking them for the honour conferred on him. "I accept this honour," he said, "as a duty, and 1 hope that you will render my duty an easy one. Never, in fact, iu any assembly was there such an au thority as in this, for you have been elected by millions ot suftrages; you represent the unity ot France; you have manifested her full and entire will in proclaiming the republic.—(Hear, hear.) We have pledged our selves, being elected by alt, to pay attention to the wants of all—(Hear)—and particularly of the poorer classes, ea. whom no one has ever done anything.—(Applause.) We shall not act like the fallen Government; we shall not shut our eyes; we shalt not adjourn the questions which we ought to discuss.—(No, no!) All ut them -.Lail be resolved, slowly perhaps, but with the wisdom and experience of men representing a great nation— kßravo!)—a nation slow to set, but always acting in a determined, positive, and complete naanuer.—(Loud applause.) It now only remains for one to thank our worthy Senior Deputy, which I do most heartily. I now Declare, that as the bureau has been installed, the National A-sembly is definitely constituted : Vive la l'lre whole Assembly then rose, and repeated several times the cry of " Vive la Eiyublique!" Tee following Memuers were ihen elected questors:— M. 1) , gou:6:, 439 votes; M. Bureaux de Puzy, 338; General \egrier, 296. The sitting was brought to a close at half-past twelve. The Vice-Presidents, Secretaries, and Questors, all belong to the Lamartine-Marrast party. The President, in addressing the Chamber, used the title Citizen, and the Moniteur, in its official re ports, invariably now substitutes Citoyen for Monsieur. Citizen BUCHEZ, in the exercise of his right as President of the Chamber, has laid it down as a rule that there must not be any manifestation of approbation or disapprobation among the Members— thus depriving strangers in the galleries of all excuse for interfering in the discussions, as was their wont during the first revolution. On Saturday the Assembly met at half-past one o'clock. Some returns of new members were reported, and declared valid. A discussion arose. on the election of Abbei . Fayet 1 and M. Deenoie for the Lozere; and it was decided that an inquiry should be instituted as to the circum stances of the case, bribery being alleged against these two gentlemen. M. Martin (of Strasburg) stated to the Assembly that, having been appointed reporter by the bureau to whom the circumstances connected with the election of M. Schmidt as one of the thirty-four representatives of the Seine had been submitted for examination, he had to declare that the bureau was of opinion that the electors had been led into error by the epithet of ' workman' affixed to that person's name, and that in consequence a great number of votes had been given contrary to the intentions of the voters; M. Schmidt, it appeared, was in rea:ity an author, and could not, by pevsen a o n f . the h ns a m p e p any possibility, come fairly under the denomination of amongst the persons ' returned. of representing Paris, and that for them, and not eoairsedc,hmbeidstide, had that stoo a m fo o r re tbe th h a o n n o o n u e r o e s n s w e intendede g r u e ence t h e for the person whose name figured bureau anylnvoet had to recommendthe election. _ (Agitation.) After some discussion for and against this opinion, the Assembly &cle the election of M. Schmidt to be null and void.—(Considerable agitation.) The question then arose as to how the vacant place was to be supplied—whetherby a new election or by admitting as member of the Assembly the candidate who had been next on the list atter the 34 names of whom Schmidt was one. M. 13.-rryer observed that the case was perfectly simple. There had evidently been an error in the voting, meal Schmidts having been candidates, and the votes elven to all the persons of that name being es eventually centred in one who, accordingly, had been elected. But, was it not evident that if each Schmidt had re ceived the complement of votes intended fur him, not one of the m a uuld have had a sufficiency to be returned ? And, further, was it not logical that the 35th candidate was duly elected and legally entitled to a seat in the Assembly? He certainly thought that no new election was called for, and he cons. queutly should propose to have the n. xt name in the list atter the 34th retu rned , to have the 35th candida te declared a member of the Chan.ber. first exercise of the M. Flocon observed that, in this right of universal suffrage, it tad beep found pecvssary
