THE EX-ROYAL FAMILY OF FRANCE.-
RESIGNATION OF THE AMBASSADOR AND

SUITE.
On inquiry at the French embassy at 10 o'clock
last night, the anvwer given was that no authentic informs-
tion had teen received of the fugitive members of the ex-
Royal Family, or the King and Queen.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Augustus
of Saxe-Cebourg came from Buckingham Palace to Hertford
House in one of the Queen's carriages, to visit their Royal
Highnesses the Duke de Nemours and the Duchess de Mont-
pender. Their royal highnesses remained until after
luncheon with their distressed relatives. His Royal High-
nese Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Wilde, arrived
from the palace in the forenoon, and had an interview of
the royal party.
A courier from Paris arrived at the embassy at half-past
three, P.M., charged with despatches from the government
of France. Ile was the bearer of a new seal of the republic
of France. The Count de Jamie, who is accredited
minister in the absence of the ambassador, Count Louis
de Noailles, secretary, and M. de Rabaudy, have re-
signed, having declined to act under the republic. The
Count Henri de Burn left for Paris on Saturday last.
The lame courier left last evening, at half-put seven, on
his return to the French capital, and it is said conveyed the
resignation of the official members of the embassy
In consequence of the despatches, the Duke de Nemours
and the Duchess de Montpensier determined not to pass
last night at the embassy, and his Excellency K. Vau de
Weyer had placed his private residence at Sheen at the disc
pool of their royal highnesses, and the carriage was at
the entrance of the embassy, when M. Van de
I Weyer returned to apprise their royal highnesses that he
had received information of the arrival of a courier from
Belgium at Dover, with despatches, and was hourly in ex-
pectation of his reaching the Belgian legation, and the
supposition was that he would bring some intelligence of the
other members of the royal family. His excellency then
suggested to the Duke de Nemours and Duchess de Mont-
pensier to take up their residence for the night at the Bel-
gian legation in Portland-place. The offer of his excel-
lency was ultimately accepted.
Their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess Augustus
wain visited the Duke de Nemours and the Ditchers de
Montpenaier just before the duke and duchess departed for
the Belgian legation, to which residence they removed
shortly before ten o'clock.
The embassy has been literally besieged by the aristocracy
throughout the afternoon to pay visits of condolence to the
royal fugitives. Lord J. Russell and the whole of the minis-
ters called personally to insert their names in the book kept
for that purpose ; and Sir R. Peel, the Earl of Aberdeen, the
Duke of Devonshire, the Marquis of Aileabury, and a host of
the elite of society, far too numerous to obtain insertion in
our columns. There were nearly 400 calls, among them
many of the principal members of the corps diplomatique.
There were not any further arrival' of the members of the
late government fro France up to a late hour last evening.
The Duchess de Idontpensier appears to bear up wonder.
fully under the distr.asing circumstances ; and the Duke de
Nemours is less dejected than on his arrival in London.

RUAIOITHS OF THE WHEREABOUTS OP THE ROYAL
Feotrivr.e.—As nothing is positively known respecting the
whereabouts of Louis Philippe,we give the toll ew ing rumours,
which we have collscted from various sources, and publish
them without being able to confirm or deny them :—A let-
ter from Demi:, in the Union, says : " Loins Philippe ar-
rived at the Chitean here on the 24th, at eleven in the eve-
ning. A supper was sent out for amongst the public eating
houves of the town. fie w►s accompanied by the ex-queen
Marie Amelia and the Duke de Montpensier. Be slept at the
chileau, after having sent for the sub-prefect and some inti-
mate acquaintances. He was in a state of complete prostra-
tion, and repeated each moment ' like Charles X. !' He
lett the nett morning in a hired carriage and by bye-roads
for Vernon. It is said here that his p ,ssage through this
latter town was not effected without obstacles." Another
paper says the royal family were supposed to be secreted.—
A correspondent reports that the Duchesses of Nemours and
Muntpenmer were reported to have been met by a courier "en
route " for Eu.—A correspondent et the Sussex Advertiser of
yesterday states, that the late King of France had reached
the Chateau d'Eu in saf.ty. The writer of the letter resides in
the immediate vicini y of the chateau. This statement
favours the idea that the vzwels just stilt across from New-
haven may be made aye-gable for the escape of the aged

ATTEMPT TO CREATE DISTURBANCES IN

BRUSSELS.
BRUSSELS, FEB. 28.
As half-anticipated in yesterday's despatch, last
night did not pass off without a number of evil dis-
posed persons making the attempt to create disturb-
ances in this capital. About 0 p.m., some 300 per-
sons assembled in the front and rear of the Hotel de
Ville, in which the civic guard had mustered accord-
ing to orders, and began hooting and hissing the vari-
ous patrols as they issued forth to go their rounds, a
precaution whiob was taken during the entire night.
This misconduct was 'repeated in various directions,
and finally some persons were, without difficulty, ar-
rested. This morning the following proclamation was
affixed to the public establishments of Brussels, and to
the corners of numerous streets :
CITY or BILLIIIFIELS ASSEMBLAOES.
The burgomaster being desirous of putting as end to the
tumultuous assemblages which took place last night in cer-
tain parts of the city, and of preventing any attempt being
made to disturb order and the public peace, decrees.-1. That
not more than five persons shall be allowed to assemble in
the public thoroughfares.-2. That all persons assembling in
violation of the foregoing article, shall separate at the
first injunction of the agents of authority, otherwise
they shall be dispersed by force, ani will incur
the penalties set forth by the law.-3. The pre-
sent decree will be enforced immediately after it
is published. Copies of this proclamation will be
forwarded, without delay, to the governor of the province
and to the tribunals of first instance, as well as to the police
authorities of Brussels. Given at Brussels, this 28th of
February, 1848.
The Administrateur de la Soret6 Publique, on his
side, has forwarded the following circular to the com-
munal authorities :
Mo,.sieur le Bourgraestre—lt is necessary to be doubly on
the alert respecting foreigners arriving in Belgium. Those
among them who have not their passports in due order, or
who have no means of existence, must be immediately sent
out of the country, or brought before the authorities, as the
case may require. Foreigners arriving in Belgium with
views hostile to public tranquillity must be also sent away,
even if their passports are quite regular. I beg you will
keep sae well informed respottiag any extraordinary events
of which your locality may be the theatre, in order that I
may without delay communicate such information to thq
Last
Last night the burgomaster successively assembled,
in the large hall of the Hotel de Ville, the four bat-
talions of the civic guard which had received orders
to do duty during the eight, and addressed them in
very eloquent terms, pointing out the necessity of up-
holding these institutions which the Belgian people
had obtained. The speech was received with loud
cheers, mad with cries of " Vine k Roi r
A very important popular meeting was bald lest
night in this city. More than a thousand proms
were present, chiefly members of the so-called " In-
ternational Democratiral Society," whirl is in dose
connemion with a similar one in London. The topics
principslly discussed were electoral reform, the re-
moval of public functionaries from the chambers, and, ;
above all, the amelioration of the condition of the
working classes. It meet bestated,howevir, that the
sentiments delivered io favour of the loci:lability of
the Belgian territory were Madly cheered.
The Iforaiteur of this morning pabliahee a royal
ordonnance prolonging until the Ist of Jody, 1848,
the term (March 1, 1848) originally fixed for the
withdrawal of the Law authorniag the free iniporte-
tion of cattle, oreept from the province of Limem-

bourg.
I have just paid a hasty visit to the Chamber of
Representatives, and found M. Rogier making the
important announcement that he would then bring in
a bill for lowering to the minimum fixed by the cot.-
etitution the qualification for being an elector; in
other words, a project of law for an extension of the
franchise. M. Delahaye then asked him if he were
prepared to lay before the house a bill for complete
parliamentary reform ; amongst other measures, one
declaring public functionary.* ineligible to either
chamber. 'NI. Rogier, in a very temperate speech,
declared that the question was an imprudent one
under certain circumstances, and that the friends of
the cabinet and of order should rest satisfied with the
concessions already announced.
P.S. The bidt'pendance of this night asserts that
40 individuals (many of whom had daggers concealed
about their persons) were arrested last night in
Brussels.

of the Supreme Court of the previace of Nora Scotia; sod
the Rev. W. A. Newman, M.A., to be chaplain for Cape

Tae INDIAN NIAILS.—The apprehensions relative
to the fate of our outward Indian mail have, we believe, to..
dated the Lords of the Admiralty to take into consideration
the beet means of securing our Indian correepondenee for
the future. We have reason to believe that their lordships
are about to order one of the best steamers to proceed diced
to Malta to meet the mails which were to leave Houg•Hons
on the 31st of January, Calcutta the Bth, and Bombay the
16th of February, and to convey them direct to Southampton.
Lieut. Waghorn, with his usual zeal, has been investigati,g
the different bearings of this truly important subject, and
considers the plan proposed by their lordships the most
desirable one to be adopted under the present circuits-

stances.
THE. FRENCH ROYAL FAMlLY.—Several packages
covered with oilskin, and adareued to her Most Gracious
Majesty the Queen, were landed at Dover on Sunday night.
from her Majesty's packet Widgeon, Hare commander, from
Ostend. They were immediately despatched by the novels-
went authorities by the railway to London, and were duly
delivered at Buckingham Palace on Monday. They were
believed to contain the wearing apparel and effects of t►e
Duke de Nemours and ethers of the French royal family
who arrives from ()mend on the tame morning, and had
ounsequently left Dover by train at 3i p.m. for town.
THE MURDER IN THE PARIC—Last night, the
grand jury at the Central Criminal Court returned, as
• true," a bill of indictment preferred aeainst Annetta
Meyers, for the wilful murder of Henry Ducker, a privets
in the Grenadier Guards, in St. James's Park. The trial
will, it is expected, take place on Friday.

IRELAND.
DUBLIN, Fen. 2R.
Sir William Somerville's settlement of the landlord
and tenant question has had time to elicit public opi-
nion on its merits, and the result has been wholly un-
satisfactory. In the Wexford papers appears a moat
formidable requisition, containing a very large num-
ber of names, and representing every barony in that
county, demanding some more satisfactory solution of
the difficulty than the government bill. In the north
the farmers are also awake. On the 6th March Down
and Antrim will meet and pronounce. The government
had better not excite a universal feeling of hostility
by persevering with the measure. This is no season
for experiments on the national feeling or temper.
Four hundred pounds worth of seeds, principally
for green cropping, has been ordered from seed estab-
lishments in Cork, by Mr. Synott, the practical in-
structor for the south of Kerry. A large proportion
of this will be distributed gratis to the innall farmers
by the British Association. Though the wish of the
peasantry is towards the old esculent, yet the turnip
will not be forgotten.
Every union in Galway, with the exception of
Ballinaslce, is now administered by paid guardians.
WICKLOW REPRP.EINTArION.—The representation for
this county will be immedi itely vacated by Col. Acton.
Mr. G. Cunningham, a whig, and Mr. Charles S. blouck
will, it is said, contest the vacant seat.
THE REPEAL ASSOCIATION met to day, Mr. E. Nugent
presiding. The principal speaker, and hi. sentiments seemed
to coincide with those of the other speaker., was the Rev.
Mr. Mullen, a Roman catholic priest. He said he felt
hound to speak out at the present time, because he knew
that there were very great numbers of the peasantry who
eagerly looked forward to circumstances or events which
would enable them—not to repeal the uuion—but to go fur-
ther—to accomplish a separation through a revolution. Ho
wished to caution the people against such extrava-
ranee, and to warn the government of the troth.
After dwelling upon those matters, which he said stimu-
lated those contemplations, the reverend gentleman said
that unless England changed her system towards 'reload,
a revolution would be the inevitable result. He dwelt
again on the distresses of the people, and the depopulation
which swept over the country. In the parish with which ha
was connected formerly, containing 4,000 souls, there had
been 130 persons sent out to Australia in the course of last
year, and 120 to Canada, most of whom had died of fever in
the hospitals, or of ague in the swamps. He called on thelrish
members to bring the condition of the country tinder the no-
tice of parliament, in spite of any manifestation of a disinelie
nation to listen to it which English legislators might exhibit.
They should stand upon the floor of the house until they
made themselves heard, for political events made it neces-
sary that Irelana should be conciliated. Speaking of the topic
of an anticipated invasion, he said nothing would be
more injurious to Ireland than a descent of the French,
for Ireland would then be made ny
the battle ground of Eng-
land and FranCS, worried t i exhai.stion by the endeavour'
of either to drive the other intoand the sea. Mr.occas Mullenpe
s's lan-
guage was frequently warm, on one ion, aking
of the wrongs of the people, he made use of the
phaser that
perhaps many of the people were thir.king of" righting
their wrongs in battle line." He was called to order by •
Mr. Molloy, a barrister, as he thought it was not the time
to suggest any course by the use ot such language.

TJUVILSDA It licusDAo.—Before the court aljourued thin
afternoon, the strand jury made en application to the judge
that Thomas Donohue, found gii,lty of the murder of the
Rev. John Lloyd in Nuocmber ta-t, be executed in the place
where the murder was committed, near Elphlr.. This
example was conidered soceesary, from the disturbed state
of the matt y. The judge referred the application to the
attorney-general, whe heat no time in forwarding it to the
government. During the trial the court was crowded to
es Rotation; even the mend jury occupied their gallery.
