known to Bonus and to the state that all I could do I have
done, and that the whole of the sacred college acceded to it
willingly and unanimously. If that does not satisfy some
men who are guided by caprice more than by reason, I be-
lieve the people, generally speaking, will be content. Ire
peat that I did all I could, and could do nothing( more. I
desire that my ssntiments may be known to all, in order that
calm may be re-established, and that none of those acts which
in sonic places have disturbed public tranquility, may
be repeated. Liberty cannot be separated from order—
order creates happiness, and from order flows unity, which
is so neweary for all to enjoy liberty tranquily, and
receive the fruit of the seed which has been sown on the poli-
tical soil. Order is blessed by God and man, and leads to
what all desire—justice and joy in families.

them. These are facts, it appears to us, which constitute
situations exceedingly dissimilar, and consequently not ad-
milting my comparison. It is seen what all this display
of figures, in support of a partial opinion, signifies. The
proof is not worth more than the opinion. But this is not
all. Whilst the government thus provided for the great po-
litical and financial necessities of the moment, each of its
members gave a new activity to his own administration.
All this should be allowed for, and we believe it to be the
duty of a good citizen, in such difficult circumstances, to aid
the government in place of impeding it ;to call for co-ope-
ration for it, and not resistance ; and if we desire to see it do
still more, we ought not lees to feel grateful for what it has
already done. All its acts besides are inspired by a profound
democratical sentiment, and in our eyes that general ten-
dency welt redeem some faults of detail. The definitive or-'.
ganization of the republic, the realization of the principle of
fraternity and joint responsibility, a realization which alone
can lead to the conciliation of interests hitherto placed is
conditions of antagonism—such has been its object, this is
what constitutes its strength.
The ifoniteur du Soir gives the following from
the frontiers of Poland 30,000 Russians are con-
centrated on the frontier of Gallicia, some leagues
from Cracow; 50,000 men occupy Russian Poland.
Warsaw has a garrison of 20,000 men. The Russian
guard is already in great part on its way for the
frontier of the duchy of Posen; reserves have been
called from the interior, and the corps stationed on
the side of Odessa, and towards Turkey, have
received orders to send 15,000 men towards Gal- I
licia. To this news we may. add that the army of I
I the Caucasus is also going to be diminished, and
that it has received orders to remain altogether
on the defensive. Schamyl has organised a post-
ofhce service with Constantinople, in order to know
what passes in Europe ; his object is to assume the
offensive as soon as hostilities shell have commence,/
in Poland. It must not be forgotten that front6o,ooo
to 80,000 Poles are in the Caucasus.

PARTS BOCRSE, NIARCU 28.—The early prices at
the Bourse showed the same di• position on the part of ca-
pitation,. Stocks were offered at all prices, and in tome
minutes the Five per Cents. had fallen 2.60, to 57.50, and the
Threes, 2.60, to 38. However, this fall, which recommenced
so decidedly, and which appeared to be the result of panic,
at last ceased, and prices rose to 60 and 40 respectively. A
great number of those who have sold lately have kept
their money to re-invest on the first favourable opportunity.
Present low prices may tempt some who, haring sold
at 70 to 76, may now repurchase at 57 to 58. As
in all the projects with reference to the railways which
have been put fiorth, it has been proposed to give the shore-
helders 5 per cent. stock for their shares, the Fires were
more offered than the Threes. It was said also, at the com-
mencement of the Bourse, that it was intended not only
to extend this to the railways, but abio to the canals and
mines, and assurance companies. But reports quite to the
contrary soon restored prices. It was said that the govern-
ment had renounced for the present their project as to the
railways, and had resolved to defer it to be settled by the
nation-al assembly. It is certain that the purchases which
were made during the last halt-hour of the Bourse, were
made by the leading stockbrokers, and that many
orders to buy could not be executed before the
closing. There was not, in fact, more than one franc
rise on the price of yesterday in the Fives or Threes, but
they have in substance recovered 3.50 on the lowest quota-
tion of yesterday. Orleans Railway were twice done at par,
bat recovered to 570 when the shareholders found there was
some hope that they could not be taken from them. It was
on this line more than any other that the government pro-
ject produced kar,, because it was supposed it would he pur-
'hated by v luation, which would have been an unfavorable
mode for the shareholders. The rise was less sensible on the
lines not paid up, which were more in demand, because it was
thought thaforhatever might be the project of the government,
it could not be more disadvantageous teen the continuation
of their contract., and at present prices they might s.ifely
invest. The St. Germans have declared a dividend of 27.50,
payable in cheques at 4 per cent., bet without any fixed time
for their payment. Les Quasre Canaan fell 2.s—price 775.
The holders of B.istian stocks and Bank shares were
very uneasy as to their half-yearly dividends. The Bel-
=auk had declared a dividend of 131.,. payable at
. It is usually accompanied with a notice that tb-y
maybe received at some bank in Paris I no such notice is now
given, and the bankers usually employed in Paris say they
have received no orders. Piedmont stocks have fallen
10 francs from the news received from Lombardy. A large
meeting of the creditors of Charles Lafitte, Blount, and Co.,
took place yesterday. The failure, it seems, to di place in
consequence of the number of cheques (bons) of the Paris and
Rouen and Rouen and Havre railways which the house of
Lafitte and Co. had endorsed; these cheques could not be
negociated, on account of the crisis. The meets exceed the
liabilities vasiderably, and all the creditors may be paid
in full if they will grant time. It was decided that
all creditors under five hundred francs should be im-
mediately paid, and that, during the settlement
of the affairs, M. Lafitte, Blount, and Co., should be autho-
rized to continue the business of the bank. A council of
superintendence was named, consisting of M. M. Denis,
Benoist, Guerrero, and Colley de St. Paul. The premium
en gold was quoted as yesterday, at 80, and on charge of
Bank Bills of 1,000 francs, from 16 to 20 francs.

REPORTED ATTEMPT OF THE FRENCH TO
REVOLUTIONISE BADEN AND WURTEMBURO.
' •

The following private letter, received this morn-
ing, from Ravensburg, in Wurtemburg, has been
obligingly forwarded to us. It is scarcely possible '
that a report of proceedings of the character referred
to —the movements of 30,000 men and the
burning of Offenburg—should first reach London by
so circuitous a route. Our readers must, therefore,
judge for themselves, how much of the information is
fact, and how much mere flying rumours. All we can
do is to bear testimony to the perfect good }kith and
good character of the writer :
RAVENSBURG, MARCH 26.
We last night received intelligence that thirty thousand
Frenchmen had crossed the Rhine, burnt Oifenburg, and
were advancing rapidly towards Stockaeh, the point where
.11 alte great lowly at Germany meet. The news struck
this population like lightning. They immediately
forgot their differences, and formed into bodies of
volunteers. The partial deficiencies of muskets is
supplied by means of scythes ; and Catholics
end protestants are all arming, and exercising with
great ardour. To-morrow, one-tenth of the pope-
' lotion will, if necessary, leave their homes and
march against the invaders. This province, re-
cently acquired, has always been ill-affec.ed to Wurtem-
burg, and, so late as lost autumn, the Catholic inhabitantr,
sympathising with the Sonderbund, were in continued
conflict with the Protestants. Their discord has vanished
a* if by enchantment. " Hurrah for old Germany"
is the cry of every one. I speak to you of what I
see, and from this you may infer what is the spirit
of Germany at present. If, as I trust, the
French are repelled, this atrocious invasion will
produce a great deal of good, by cementing more and
snore the new order of things. We hear that the in-
vaders are for the most part a rabble of desperate
workmen, but well armed and well commanded. They
exp. tied to find here a great number of gulls, easily
deceived by the proclamation of the repablic. But
I hope they will find they were mistaken, as the Swiss
corps francs were, and as lawless invaders generally are.
lam this very moment told that, ou arriving at Wulfach,
in the Valley of the Kim*, they wens repelled by the
landstuem of the peasantry.

LATEST FROM LOMBARDY.

INSURRECTION
IN TRENT AND THE TYROL,

The Piedmontese journals have not arrived, but it
is confirmed that the King of Sardinia has taken the
title of King of Sardinia and Lombardy, and had
marched to Milan at the head of his army. The Vice-
roy of Lombardy, with his family, was at Verona.
One of his sons, the Archduke Sigismund, was ar-
rested at Bergamo.
Some 6,000 Austrians were quartered at Marig-
nano. The people of Milan destroyed the bridge, to
cut off the communications of the enemy. it was an-
nounced, by letters from Milan, dated two in the
afternoon of the 24th, that Trent and the entire Tyrol
had risen. The insurrection was successful also at
Lodi and Cremona. The Austrians were driven from
Pavia, Brescia, and Desruzane. The fortress of Pizzi
Ghettone, nith seventeen guns, was taken by the
Milane%e.
The duchies of Parma and Modena had declared
their annexation to Piedmont and Lombardy.
The report of the flight of the Duke of Modena was
incorrect. That prince was imprisoned.
Letters from Rome, of the 21st, say that, on the
arrival of the news from Milan, the Austrian ensigns
were torn from the embassy, and the ambassador took

flight.
The last bulletin received from Milan terminates
with the words " Long live Charles Albert, King of
Italy."
The foreign consuls residing in that city bad
collectively protested, during the conflict, against the
bombardment, till the subjects of their respective
countries had retired. The bombardment commenced
on the 22nd, but with little effect. The number of
killed en the part of the Austrians exceeds 2,000;
the loss of the people is considerably smaller,
owing to their having fired only when sore of
'their mark, while the platoon-fire of the troops was
almost neutralised by the barricades. Marshal ltadetzky,
lit is said, has been arrested at last, disguised as a
priest. It is asserted that the Austrian troops pil-
laged several houses. The Brera quarter has sufkred

most.
A number of proclamations have been issued by the
provisional government of Milan, directing the people
to preserve their barricades, and to enrol themselves
regularly, providing for bread, meat, and other neces- !
series, also for the defence of the public establish- I
'molts, and other exigencies of the circumstance..
Scarcely had the news from Milan become known at
Florence,than theOrandDuke immediately issued a pro-
dalmatian, dated the 21st, in whicb, after announcing
that the hour of the complete regeneration of Italy
had arrived, he calls upon his subjects to take up
arms in defence of the common cause, and states that
the necessary orders bad been given for the imme-
diate departure of all the regular troops, in two
columns, one for Pietrasanta, another for San Mar-
cello ; the former under the orders of the general in
chief of the regular troops, the other under those of
Colonel Laugier. The proximate conclusion of a
general Italian league is also announced in the same
proclamation.
On the 17th a deputation, headed by Prince Corsini,
waited upon the Pope to thank him for having granted
a constitution. Ills Holiness replied:
The demonstrations which I yesterday saw made by the
good people of Rome, and whi:th I see confirmed to-day by
those who are their legitimate reoesentatives, Ore me an
Laurance of the gratitude of the people. I receive the ex-
pression of it with infinite pleasure, kad I beg of you to:asks
