The services of T Valiantly rushed forward before all others to defend and plead the Hangarisn cause, we ought warmly to acknowledge : as also those of our own native Herald, for its untiring exertions to stimu late us to take the present course.—(Hear, hear.) The talented speaker thus concluded in Welsh—Yughyd a'r Amserau,' yn hen iaith Gomer an mamau, a ddylent gaol teyrnged o ddiolchgarwch oddiar ein llaw, yn gydnabyddiaeth, am eu gwasanaeth diflino i'r achos Hungaraidd.

Mr. Luke sat down amidst loud cheers; and the re soledon being put to the meeting by the chairman, was unanimously affirmed. After which three groans were given by the company to the Times newspaper. Mr. Deem Jimmies, on being called upon by the Chairman, came forward to propose the fourth resolu tion, which he did in a Welsh address, that met with a most favourable reception; but of which, unfortunately, we have not been favoured with an outline. It was de scriptive of the horrid conduct of the Austrians and Russians towards Hungary; and contained observations that deeply interested the feelings of all present. In re ference to the immediate resolution before them, and the co-operation of France, Mr. Hughes took occasion to de tail the flight cf Kossuth and the other refugees, from Austria to Turkey; the reception given them by the Sultan, and the brutality of the Autocrat in demanding them to be given up to be butchered in cold blood. The speaker then went on to detail the noble conduct of the refugees, and the confidence reposed in them by the Sultan, particularly in enforcing the fact that Kossuth had asked and obtained from the Sultan permission to secure a refuge in his dominions before he actually took light to Turkey; and that the answer of the Sultan was as prompt as it was hearty, cordial, and honourable, saying as he did, that his territories were open as a place of refuge alike to himself and his confederates. Well deserved emphasis was also laid upon the fact that the Sultan, when urged by the emissary of the Czar whether he would or would not deliver up the Hungarian re fugees, replied in a decided tone in the Turkish negative —" —(Loud cheers.) The rage and indignation of the Great Bear of the North at hearing the reply was then graphically described, and his style of growling at his disappointment effectively imitated. The speaker then went on to inquire what was to become of Turkey, and its refugees, observing that they would have been less than a morsel between the teeth of the Bear; but that in the meantime the Eagle of France had trans fixed the Northern Beast by the lustre of his 'piercing eye, whilst the Lion of Britain, fully roused, had shaken his mane in anger, and with dilated nos tril and prompt attitude for a sudden spring, had so terrified him that he fell back into his den in convulsions of fear and awe. The tendencies of meet ings like the present were then adverted ito ; and stress laid upon the face that they had met rather to congratu late the Government of England upon what had been done, than to complain of any neglect; their real object being to strengthen the hands of the Administration. Attention was then drawn to the prospect of future amity between the two great and contiguous nations of France and England;.- and the benignant Providence of God noted in the fact that out of the oppressions of Hungary, the cruelty of Austria, and the wily ambition of Russia, the feuds that have so long existe I between this country and France were likely to be put an end to. The speaker then went on to describe the calamities and expenses of war, observing that fall seventeen shillings and sixpence in the pound of all the revenue of Great Britain was expended in paying off the interest of the debt which had been caused by past wars, and in providing means and munitions fir future contests. Mr. Hughes concluded by an eloquent peroration, expres sive of his hope that Great Britain and France would for the future emulate each other, not in arms, but in deeds, of benevolence and utility, determining to make all classes of their people happy, contented, and good, by extending their means of education and rational enjoa - ment, and showing to surrounding states, that on every occasion they would be found " the terror of tyrants, the friend of the free." Mr. L. JONES, at the instance of the Chair, rose to second the resolution, having previously recited it to the meeting as fellows:— " 4. That the prompt and enterprising co-operation of the President and Government of France with the Bri tish Government in upholding the independence of the Turkish Sultan, is an event which has excited the liveliest feelings cf . gratification in the minds of the inhabitants of the British empire, who have hailed the union of the French and British flag on the present oc casion, as an earnest of future harmony and good will between two great countries; and as an augury that two brave nations whose contests in past times have been a calamity to Europe, will henceforward be joined together as the defenders of the rights of civilisation and humanity, and as the protectors of the oppressed throughout the world." There were three ways, he observed, in whi c h th e viewed might be and considered. Firstly— The wrongs and oppressions which had been heaped upon the Hungarian people, were fully adequate impe riously to demand from them, as men and as citizens, under a free Constitution, an expression of unmiti gated abhorrence. Secondly—As Christians, they were bound to look at that aspect of the late events in Hun gary, to which the obligations of the Gospel would more peculiarly refer. Though that sacred volume took little or no cegnizenee of political or civil rights, i: yet distinctly laid down those doctrines of peace, kind ness, good-will, and brotherly feeling, which alone could form a solid and durable foundation for the rights and privileges which men claimed in society, at the hand of the civil ruler ; and for that protection which was due to them as the reward and condition of their obedience. As men and as subjects, they;could not bat feel indignant at the wrongs cruelly inflicted upon a patriotic and de serving people ; but as Christians they were still more emphatically called upon to repudiate with indignation and contempt the eats of the oppressor. Thirdly—The results likely to be effected by meetings of this nature ought not to be lost sight of. They were of great benefit to the cause of justice and humanity wherever held ; but, when held in a country so distinguished as Wales, for the peaceable and loyal disposition of its inhabitants, and so averse to all useless agit Won of any kind what ever, they were of additional value and importance, because they produced upon the general mind of the collective public an instant and absolute conviction that something seriously amiss must have occurred; and that a real and deep injury must have been inflicted and sustained before a remonstrance could have been drawn forth. Welshmen were the most peaceful people under the sun; and when Englishmen saw that the sons of Cambria were congregating in public meetings, throughout the length and breadth of the principality, nationally to protest against the wrongs indicted upon Hungary, they would naturally infer that the perfidy of Austria, the crooked policy of Russia, and the cruelty of both, must have been fie grant and atrocious in the highest degree; for they would naturally say—" If these quiet, peace-loving Welshmen, who so seldom meet to discuss their own grievances, thus assemble to reprobate the conduct pursued towards another country, that conduct must hays been very bad indeed. In addition to the intense cha-acter of that indignation which was slowly wrung oat from peaceful Christian men, its expression re ceived additional effect from the fact that no other penalty attached to the transgressor. When actual punishment was inflicted upon evil doers they were generally regarded with some degree of commiseration as having been duly chastised for their misdeeds : and it appeared unkind to reiterate the offence and abuse tie fir it; but when the transgressor was elevated above the ordinary responsibilities of life, and could not be treated according to his deserts, the influence of opinion was the only weapon by which he could be assailed; and the blows which it inflicted apon him were severe and galling in proportion as they had neither been anticipated nor fared. The tyrant who sneered at the opinions of his fellow-men, before such opinions could be uttered, was the first to wince under them when actually expressed, as he had himself witnessed during the visit of the Czar in London, whilst the wrongs of Poland were yet fresh in the memory cf the eitieens. Neither guards, nor soldiery, nor police, could prevent either the yells of the populace or the silent contempt of the upper classes from being noted and f-lt by tte Autocrat; and he was heard to admit that Le would rather have been pelted with mud and missiles at the hands of a mob, than be thus assailed by the stern, unflinching, h onest execrations f a high minded, loyal, and free people, who knew hop to ex press their indignation without either braving the laws of their country or violating the claims of hospitality. In like manner such meetings as the one now held would, by means of the press, reach tho eyes or ears of the tyrant, make him feel ashamed of his barbarity, a n d tend to prevent a repetition cf such atrocities, not only on his part, but on the part of other tyrants. (The speaker was repeatedly cheered during his address, and sat down amid renewed signs of approbation.) The resolutie a, on being put by the Chair, was una nimously affirmed. Mr. DAVID HUGHES, surgeon, was requested to pro pose the next resolution, which he did to the following t'ffet 1:—I foal myself honoured in having the resolution I hold in my hand to move before we separate, the noble subject of it being a person possessing the attributes of kindness and sympathy, in a most ebounding fullness concentrated in his flowing heart ; always ready, Sama ritan-like, with extended arm, to help and succour the distressed, to lighten and liberate the 'oppressed. Gen tlemen, I beg to move " that this meeting expresses its warm gratitude to Lord Dudley S uart for his noble efforts in the cause of the oppress el Hungarians; and to all other public men who have exerted themselves in the same cause." I hope, gentlemen, we may yet see the genies of liberty phoenix-like rising on the smoking embers of suppressed freedom, extending t 3 the Hung:: rian nation the right of personal I.l3etty, personal se curity, and private property. Mr. BOW3IAN briefly but heartily seconded the rese lutioa; which, on being put to the meeting, was unani mously passed. Mr. GRIFFITH JONES, merchant, was requested to move the next resolution, which was as follows:—" That the thanks of this meeting are due to Arthur Janice Johnes, Esq., and are cordially tendered to him accord.- ingly, for his manly, zealous, intellectual, and efficient *endue, In bringing prominently forward to the notice ter the North Wales public, the wrongs inflicted ;by the Austrian and Russian Governments upon the brave Htusgarian people, and of the unrelenting spirit of per secution with which they have pursued the unfortunate but patriotic champions of constinitional Government andMaeyar free lotr." Mr. GRIFFITH JONES said—Gentlemen, the resolution whiA l 11Elve just read, as you home obsErved, contains a THE SUN, vote of thanks to Mr. Johnes, for his indefatigable exertions on behalf of the Hungarians. All those men who came forward first of all, and gave the start to any movement for the public good, deserve much praise. ' As it was in the days of slavery, the whole country pitied the poor suffering slave year after year; and many a heart bled for the lashed and fettered negro; but still no one came forward to give vent to that feeling and to demand their emancipation until Macaulay, Wilberforce, and Fewell Buxton, came for ward and called upon the people to work. So it was in the preient case. Welshmen felt deeply when they first heard of the great atrocities committed in Hungary, and sympathised much with the noble Hungarians; but no effort was male to make it known, until Mr. Johnes took up the subject, and aroused the people of Wales to do their duty. Mr. Johne3 had not only written, and spoken upon the subject, which was comparatively easy; but had also gone to his pocket and spent some scores of pounds to bring his object about; and for these brief reasons I have much pleasure in proposing this resolution. Mr. D. WlLLiams having cordially seconded the re solution in a brief address, it was put to the meeting by the chairman, and unanimously affirmed. The following stanzas were then, at the request of the Chairman, recited by the author—a youth who has kindly handed them to us for publication:— " 0 ! Hungary! Hungary! dy aflwydd sydd fawr, Mae esgyrn dy feibion yn gwynu dy lawr ! Mae gwade dy wroniaid yn llefain yn glir! Yn erbyn creulondeb gorthrymwyr y tir. Mae Hungary wrol yn gorwedd mown gwaed, A llwch ei henwogion mewn dirmyg dan draed, Gwirionedd yn gruddfan ar bob bryn a phant A rhyddid yn wylo uwch beddau ei phlant; Trais sy'n teyrnasu yn Hungary yn awr, Cyfiawnder yn gorwedd mewn dirmyg ar lawr; Yr arth fawr o Rwssia ysglyfiodd y wlad. Gan ladd ei henwogion a'r cleddyf mewn brad. Haynau sydd yn trochi ei gle3cl hyd y care, Yn ngwaed y diniwaid! Ohl pa le yr aeth barn? Pwy enaid na theimla wrth feddwl am bye?

Gwirionedd deyrnasa yn Hungary cyn hir, Daw eto ymwared a rhyddid Vr tir, Ahl Awstria! mae Kossuth a Bem eto 'n fyw, Er gwaethaf dy fwyatfil, a byw yw eu Duw." LEWIS WILLIAM LEWIS. Mr. W. P. SMITH, of Carnarvon, in a brief address, moved the adoption of the following document, which he road to the meeting, with a few interlocutary observa tions:— "Address of the Inhabitants of Bangor, Carnarronshire, in Public Meeting assembled, " To the Inhabitants of the British Empire. "FELLOW COUNTRYMEN,--. "We beg to lay be fore you the reasons which have in duced us to meet together to express our sentiments respecting the atrocities perpetrated in Hungary by the Austrian Government and its armies; and earnestly to invite you to join in similar public expressions of opinion. "The sentiments with which we have viewed the atrocities alluded to are entertained by us irrespec tively of any conclusion we may have formed as`i o the origin of the war. Since the period of the first French Revolution, cruelties such as those of which the Austrians have been guilty, have been unknown in the civilized world. We regard it as the obvious duty of all men who have a respect for the precepts of Chris tianity, and the sentiments of humanity, to express their abhorrence of those cruelties. " When truth, justice, and mercy are altogether dis regarded, whether it be by a popular or by a despotic Government, it is indispensable for the honour and for the welfare of civilized society, that such Government should be marked by the general detestation of mankind; and that it should be emphatically announced to the na tions of Europe that such atrocities—on the part either of the rulers or of the people—will ensure to those who are guilty cf then' the universal condemnation of the British people, whose country has, hitherto, been an asy lum impartially awarded to the unfortunate exiles to whatever nation or party they may belong. "Though politically independent, the different nations of Europe are socially united; and t'lis union is becom ing every day closer, in consequence of the growing power of the press, improved education, and means of communication unknown in former days; and the oc currence of acts of cruelty, such as those to which we have alluded, are calculated to exercise a brutalising effect on the entire population of Europe, unless re probated by all who have a heart to feel for their fel lo w-men." (Signed by the Chairman on behalf of the meeting.) Mr. AlEsciacrt ROBERTS seconded the adoption of the address, which was unanimously agreed to. Dr. 0. 0. ROBERTS moved that copies of the above resolutions, and address ounded thereon, signed by the chairman on behalf of the meeting, be transmitted to Lord Palmerston, Lord Dudley Stuart, and such other parties as have signified themselves in the cause of Hun garian constitutional freedom, and also to the Parlia mentary representatives of the county and borough of Carr) arvon. Mr. EDWARD ELLIS seconded the resolution. Mr. Pumars, in ♦ery kind terms, recognised the spirit of liberality and entaprise which marked the pro prietor of the Carnarvon and Denbigh Herald, who stared no expense whatever in obtaining ample reports of public meetinge,held however far from his establishment; and also the fair and impartial spirit with which the paper was conducted by its editor: concluded by pro posing a vote of thanks to Messrs. Rees and Smith for their attendance and aid on the present occasion. The motion having been seconded by Mr. DAVIES, and unanimously affirmed, was duly acknowledged by Mr. S3IITH, on his own behalf, and on that of Mr. Rees. The chair having been vacated, Mr. SAMUEL JONES proposed, and Mr. PHILLIPS se conded, in appropriate terms, a well-deserved vote of thanks to Mr. Charles, for his impartial and able conduct in the chair, which was unanimously passed. The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the compliment, and added that he hoped this meeting would be a means of engendering a public spirit in the inhabitants of Bangor.—(Loud cheers.) It was surely much wanted. He thought it was a long time since such a meeting as that was held at Bangor, and trusted that henceforth the citizens would come forward with promptitude and energy to advocate every thing which had a tendency to foster liberty and virtue.—(Cheers.) A well-selected anthem closed the proceedings of the evening. TIIEATRE ROYAL, DRURY-LANE. Lessee and Manager, Mr. JAMES ANDERSON.

Another numerous and enthusiastic meeting has just intimated, in language of remarkable eloquence and earnestness, the continued sympathy of our fellow countrymen for the Hungarians. A detailed report of the proceedings will be found duly chronicled elsewhere in this evening's impression; and we doubt not but that our readers will peruse with interest the particulars of the demonstration made on Wednesday in favour of the exiled Magyars by the liberal inha bitants of Bangor. That the assembly was there ad dressed by the different speakers in the Welsh tongue, and that more than one Cymrian ballad was de livered between those impassioned harangues—the songs being replete with evidences of affection for liberty, and the orations abounding with testimonies of homage for patriotism—are circumstances which only invest the occasion with new and striking attrac tions. Besides which, transpiring as this popular de monstration actually did, almost simultaneously with the noble sentiments articulated by Lord PALMERSTON in the British House of Commons—the event acquires an additional, and in some respects even a remarkable significance. It is another fact corroborative of the assertion made by her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary, ' that " the great mass of the people of this country"— not a fanatical section of the multitude, but "the- great mass of the people of this country,"—are the real sympathisers with the Hungarians ! A considerable time, alas! has elapsed since the heroic followers of DEMBINSKI were bartered for pieces of gold and silver by the hand of an infamous soldier, the Iscariot of that glorious war of libera tion Many months have already passed over our heads since the great army of Hungarian citizens,. like the legions of SENNACITERIR, were withered away in sudden destruction, not by an Angel of the LORD, but by the poisonous breath of a traitor, by the blighting influence of treason, by the connivance of a national assassin. Even now the more superficial observers of European history are beginning to lose a recollection of the campaign recently carried on near the banks of the Theiss, and the Drave, and the Danube. Nor can their forgetfulness be any cause or astonishment, seeing that the green crops are already germinating over the graves of the heroes who• perished in defence of their fatherland. Death, and"' imprisonment, and exile, and confiscation, have in many instances hushed the fame of those illustrious children of misfortune whose names in the days of their temporary success were carried round the world. on the four winds of heaven. The earlier blossoms of spring are already budding over the bones of BATTHYANY. The footsteps of returning traffic have , already obliterated the traces of that noble blood. which was shed in the streets of Arad and in the public squares of Presburg. Buda has, lost the marks of her bombardment, and. Comorn has removed from her suburbs the ashes left by the, camp fires of the besieging Aus trians. Under the reviving sway of a German vice royalty the population of Hungary has been trodden down into its former state of vassalage. The beauti ful dream of emancipation has vanished. The hor rible nightmare of tyranny has returned. Thanks to the incursion of the Cossacks of the AUTOCRAT, and aided by the treachery of the detestable GRORGEY, the descendant of RUDOLPH has been enabled to bring under the yoke of his Cabinet the people who , had aspired for their deliverance. The old system has supplanted the new, and that, moreover, during a period sufficiently long to empower the minions of the Austrian EMPEROR to resume their former atti tude of domination, as though nothing had inter rupted the routine of Absolute Government. Yet, thanks to that genius of sympathy, whose ardour is inextinguishable under any calamity—although the hopes of Hungary have been so long dissipated, al though her downfal has been fAlowed by the satur nalia of an avenging despotism, although her most renowned chieftains have been either driven into banishment, or destroyed by the bullets of the military executioner, or by the rope of the public hangman—Yet, yet, in England, the voice of admiration, and the hand of fellowship, and the heart of affection, have resounded, extended, and throbbed uninterruptedly for the fallen and abandoned Hunga rians ! Well might that assertion be uttered in the British Parliament, that never before had the soul of England been moved so profoundly as it has been moved with sympathy towards the Magyars during their majestic struggle for emancipation ! Well might that truth be articulated in the British House of Commons, seeing the prolongation of that enthusiasm, and the reiterrated testimonies of its con tinuance. Often and often as we have had occasion to record in the columns of our journal the expres sion of these sentiments of sympathy for the Hun garians, pronounced in the metropolis and the pro vinces, in the days of their success and of their mis fortune, we have never had to recount the particulars of a demonstration so ardent in its tones of mingled sorrow and indignation as that which has just tran spired in the Welsh seaport of Bangor. Time does not appear to have chilled to any, even the slightest perceptible extent, the warmth of the popular en thusiasm. The apparently total and permanent sub jugation of the great race of the Magyars by the combined hordes of Austria and Russia, does not seem to have diminished in the smallest degree the admiration entertained by the people of this country for the conquered, and the abhorrence simultaneously felt for the conquerors. Ia this respect, indeed, the meeting held at Bangor is _an echo to the first English demonstration made in favour of the Hun garians, namely, the one which took place several months 'back in the large room of the London Tavern. A worthy response, moreover, has it proved to that earnest and unanimous assemblage, if we estimate its importance either by the character of the resolutions or by the eloquence of the oratiocs,_by the extent of the attendance or by the energy of the Acclamations.

' -e".....• LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 11, 18,50 more lucid narrative, no more impassioned apostrophe, no more brilliant declamation than what was comprised in the speech delivered in the Welsh language by the Rev. JOHN PHILLIPS has at all been articulated by any previous orator on the Hungarian Question. We doubt not, therefore, that this splendid harangue will be perused with that fullness of interest which is due to a speech which must be regarded in some manner as a masterpiece. The brief but earnest address cf Mr. LUKE is also deserving of particular attention, as are those, in truth, of the different gentlemen who had the responsibility of proposing or seconding the resolutions. Altogether, the meeting at Bangor is favour of the exiled Hungarians is an event of no inconsiderable significance, accompanied as it has been by the generous expressions of sympathy with those heroic unfortunates, which the people of England will be ever proud to remember as having been uttered in the House of Commons by the lips of the illustrious statesman her MAJESTY'S principal Foreign Secretary. Lord )uregare has declared his intention of renew ing, at the earliest opportunity, bis motion for a repeal of the window-tax. Since that proposition was negatived by the decision of the House of Com mons circumstances have transpired which it is hardly possible to doubtl will materially affect the next division upon that subject. The House of Corn mons have exhibited their power and disposition to interdict light and air from the dwell ings of the poor, by imposing a tax upon windows, and thereby converting a necessity into a luxury. Scarcely had Legislature thus exem plified what it could perform, being legally em powered thereunto, than a sad experience has shown what, with all its senatorial wisdom it can not do. It can shut out air and light from the garret and the cellar, and exclude ventilation from the crowded court and the narrow alley ; but it cannot do this and at the same time interdict the ingress of disease and the rapid spread of contagion. Pure air is one of the essential elements of life, hence its enjoyment should be beyond the interference of law makers. It hardly seems necessary to dwell upon the importance of the proposed repeal, so assured are we that that repeal will very shortly be carried. Taxation is, of course, a necessity in every consti tuted state ; and rightly carried out it conduces to the furtherance of that prime object of all statesman ship, the greatest good of the greatest number. By taxation each individual contributes his mite for the benefit of the community, and, in return, re • ceives from the community protection of life and goods, and innumerable other blessings, which he, himself, single-handed, would be quite unable to pro• cure. Such is, on a first view, the good effect of taxa tion, but, like everything else, it may be wrested into a curse instead of a blessing. It becomes such when it presses with disproportioned weight upon the shoulders of the heavy-laden. If in human legislation any one wrong be more iniquitous than another, it is, assuredly, committed by those who, having the power of distributing imposts, take a no minal share for themselves, and lay the intolerable burthen upon the weak, and consequently defenceless. With all that national liberty of which we boast, with all the philanthropy and benevolence of which there is so much talk, our code cf laws—good as it in the main—is disfigured in many instances with that " blot in the 'scutcheon," which no ocean of philanthropic tears can wash out, and no moun tains of hospitals and churches can cover—injustice, It is not our wish to decry any one of those benevo lent schemes which form a happy and hope ful sign of the times. On the contrary, every project which is in any way calcu lated to alleviate the sufferings and promote the welfare of the people—whether by facilitating their transit to other lands, or by providing schools and dwelling-houses for their moral and physical health in this—always has commands d and always will command our earnest and hearty support. Yet, although charity be the greatest of virtues, she must yield precedence to justice, for charity presupposes the existence of justice. Henee, while we anxiously expect at the hands of the Parliament many popular boom this session, those boons will be valueless unless they are preceded or accompanied by the removal of all obnoxious statutes. Among these is the often mooted subject of the window-tax. The unequal working of this tax is most flagrant. The tax is imposed upon everything bearing the name of " window,", hence it applies equally to the most extensive and elaborate plate glass win dow of a ducal mansion and to the miserable orifice which admits a partial light into the dismal cellar. Here we have apparent equality with most unequal consequences. The tax imposed upon the rich is to them a trifle, and its only effect is the construction of two large windows instead of three small ones, hence one of the first things an English traveller remarks abroad is the number of small windows in foreign houses. With the majority of the people, however, this tax is productive of continual discomfort and frequent disease. The primary law s o f h ea lth h av e recently been again and again expounded by sanitary commissioners. One of the first of these is free ven tilation. Human beings, like the plants of the field, cannot flourish without air and light. So unanimous is public feeling upon this point that Lord DUNCAN'S proposition cannot again meet with a denial. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. In the Assembly, o n F r id ay, i n answer to t h e in terpellations of M. PISCATOILY on the recent occur rences in Greece, the Minister for Foreign Affairs said, that when the Government last week had re quested to have interpellations adjourned for a few days, it had done so with the hope of being able to communicate to the Assembly the result of the first steps taken in the matter. The Assembly would per ceive, from the statement which he was about to make, that the time that had intervened had not been lost. Having received, on the 31st of January, in telligence of what had taken pl ace at A t h ens, t h e Government had immediately directed the French Charge d'Affaires at London t o express to t h e E ng li s h Government the painful astonishment which it ex perienced at the news of these most unexpected events, and to ask Lord PALMERSTON if the conduct of Mr. WYsu and Admiral PARKER had been in conformity with instructions transmitted from his Lordship. On f the 4th of February the Government sent off M. DROUTN DE LHUYS on an extraordinary mission to the Court of St. James's, and on the sth trans mitted to him a note from the PRESIDENT of the Republic, offering his good offices to bring to an amicable conclusion the differences which had .arisen between England and Greece. That offer was to be presented yesterday, the 7th instant, and the an swer, there could be no doubt, would be of an affirma tive character. In addition, this morning a di spa t c h had been received by the English Ambassador at Paris, declaring that the arbitration of France had been accepted, and that a dispatch had at once b een sent off to Mr. Wrsa and Admiral PARKER not to proceed further in the matter at present.— (H ear , hear.) The A ssem bly w ould percei▪ ve that with the part which the French Government had undertaken in the matter, it had the obligation imposed on it not to enter into any appreciation of the facts which had taken place. grave motives evidently existed t o pre vent him replyi ng t o the interpellati▪ ons of M. PISCA TORY further than he had now done. The Assembly, he doubted no t, wou ld b e satisfied with the explana tion which he had given.--(Hear, hear.) met M. p wi E th i'Rß l l ou G d NEEce cries no"—" The order of aosf,n,dsedo, the tribune, but was the day." lie expressed his satisfaction at the infor mation given by the Hon. Minister, and was proceed ing when such loud marks of disapprobation arose That he was obli ge d t o d e scend from the tribune. The matter then terminated. The Moniteu - r of Sunday publishes the decree of the Assembly declaring void the thirty seats occupied iy the convicted of the High Court of Justice of 7Versailles. The Presse maliciously suggests that if M. PROEDLION, who is kept au secret at the Con t2iergerie ever since the publication of his attack on t;he PRESIDENT, were elected to fill one of them, it might perhaps be embarrassing to the Government. _The elections are to take place on the 10th March. M. DE LAMARTINE had an interview with the •E'RESIDENT of the Republic on Saturday. The report of the dangerous illness of Marshal , SOULT is officially contradicted. An inquiry has been instituted by order of the ftxovernment into the case of the young man named kc, , iIANTERBA U , wounded on Monday by the police, and ails° as to the truth of the statement of the National, that the city police h a d been the voluntary cause of he peril to which General LAMORICIERE was ex posed on Monday. The steam-frigate G o mer, commanded by Captain :saris, is ordered to take the convicts of June, 1848, art Cherbourg, Brest, and Belle Isle, and convey them tv Algeria. The Gower, which has actually taken number of them on board, leaves between the 15th and 20th for its destination. The following announcement appears in the jour nals cf Saturday : " On explanations being demanded by M RICHARDET from M. LEO DE LABORDE in consequence of the in cident that took place between them at the sitting of the Assembly on the 6th of February, the under signed, acting in the name of their two colleagues, have decided as follows The friends of M. RICHARDET having declared in his name that the words made use of by him were nothing more than an historical quotation, the friends of M. LEO LA BORDE, on their side, declare that an interruption which he regrets, and the words which followed it, were only applicable to such quotation, whatever may have been its source, and not to the person of M. RICHARDET. "For M. RICHARDET, J. MIOL, BUEGARD, and BRUGNIAUD. " For M. LEO LABORDE, Generals DE GRAM MONT, DE SURVILLE, and DE FIEVEREUR. And 2.0 the matter ends." Colonel EDGAR NEY has been definitively elected in the Charente by 58,750 voteF. His competitor, M. BABAUD LARIVERE, obtained 24,000. _ _ . . The Vrench Five per Cents. on Friday reached the highest price which has been seen since the revo lution of February, closing at 95f. 50c. The Napoleon has the following on the attempt made by the Orleanist Assemblee Nationale to sow dissension between the PRESIDENT of the Republic and General CaarioARNIER: "To succeed in dividing these two men (the Presi dent of the Republic and General Changarnier) would Lea master stroke on the part of the anarchists, whether they be red or white. Such, in fact, is the constant ten dency of the Assemblie Nationale. To make the public believe that Geu. Changarnier is each day becoming of less value in the opinion of the President of the Republic — to augment his personal impoitance even to the point of making him a third power in the State—to insinuate that his continuance in his command is only owing to the fear he inspires—these are all audacious lies, and consist in the propagation of false alarms, the awakening of susceptibilities, the sowing discord amongst the constituted elements of order, and the attempting to weaken, at the same time, the moral authority of the President, and of the General-in-Chief himself. But these in tigues will not succeed—the plot is too barefaced. The President ( f the Republic will never descend to the baseness of the manoeuvres suggested to him, and, in spite of them all, General Changarnier will continue in his command as one of the most worthy, most loyal, and most energetic supporters of order." The Napcleon . - further states that the riot of Mon day night, of which the removal of the trees of liberty was the pretext, was in virtue of orders received from M. Louis BLANc. " The removal of these trees," it observes— " Was not a political affair, but simply ow of public convenience, and it is from that it was the occasion of some groups who disturbed for a moment the tranquillity of tke capital. Had the Government believed that those trees had become a dangerous emblem, they would all have been removed in one single night, and their removal would not have ceased the slightest disagreeable im pression. But the Government attached no such im portance to them; and the Prefect of Police thought he might without danger remove those that were de cayed as well as those whose removal was demanded by the inhabitants and the mayors cf arrondissements. This work had been going on for some days without difficulty, when the Central Commission (1 As sociations, placed undo r the direction of M. Louis Blanc, received the order to organize a demonstration, with the object of showing that the fire of emeute was not yet extinguished." The same journal says : " Certain periodicals lately observed, by way of an inti mation to tho Government, Charles X. and Louis Phi lippe had also a Ministry and an army devoted to them, and Sat they fell.' It is true they had. But Charles X, and Louis Philippe had not been elected by tho nation, and Insides,lhad not, like the President cf the Republic, resolved to never abandon the army, but to meet death in the midst of it, rather than resign himself again to exile." The rumour of a coup d'etat, says the Napolion : " Have induced the repre3entatives of the Mountain to consult on the organisation of the refusal of the taxes in the event of their again deciding that the constitution has been violated. The work has al ready begun in Alsace. M. Kuss, Professor of the School of Medicine at Strasburg, has lately made a tour in the cantons, with the double object of the elections and the nonpayment of the tam)]. Much confidence is reposed in the co-operation of the old mem bers of the Solidarite Republicaine. In Burgundy a commencement of organisation has been already pre• pared, and it is probable the example will be followed in other localities; but these manoeuvres are received with indifference by the people." The .11 1 apoleon positively denies there is any foun dation whatever for the rumours of a change in the Ministry. The Viva per Cents. were done in the Passage de l'Opera at 97f., being a rise of 40c. as compared with the closing price on Saturday. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LOND9N .
