THIS DAY, Four o'clock.
BY EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

ANNOUNCEMENT

OF
FOREIGN MINISTERS.

We have received by express, news from Paris to
yesterday (Monday), at one o'clock.
Paris was tranquil, and bu‘iness had been resumed.
The foreign ambavaudors, met at the Turkish Em-
bsevy and resolved that, in consequence of the unani-
mity of the'people, and apparent stability of the pro-
visional government, they would remain till orders
arrived from their courts.

Orders have been issued by the provisional govern-
ment, commanding the persons and properties and
rights of foreigners to be respected.
It was understood in Paris that Lord Normanby
had transmitted to this country the formal announce-
ment of the provisional government, that the people
had decided to form a republic. The reply of the
Cabinet of St. James's was anxiously expected. It
was generally believed that the right of the French
people to adopt such form of government as they
pleased would be recognised by England; but there
were many doubts u to the course the northern
powers might adopt.
The best spirit animated the press. The domains
of the civil list are declared national property. There
was no fear of scarcity in Paris, the markets being
abundantly supplied. The reported street of the
Sardinian ambassador is contradicted. An absurd
attempt to create a movement in favour of Henry the
Fifth, in the Faubourg Saint Germains, proved
abortive; it was treated with ridicule.
M. Lamartine is preparing a manifesto from France
to Europe. The provisional government eontinuee
vigorously to repress pillage in the environs. Nothing
was known as to the destination of the royal family.
They were supposed to be secreted. According to
some repors, the Duchess &Orleans and her children
have been erre sted en route to Rouen. The Notional
however, mentions, that her royal highness was still
in the neighbourhood of Paris, and that her partizans
were quietly moving through the capital. Adhesions
to the national government continued to arrive by
every mail, as well as by the telegraph.
A review of the national guards, by members of the
provisionalgovernment,took place on Sunday, on the
Boulevards, with great demonstrations of enthusiasm.
On Sunday there was a grand procession to the
Column of July, when Arago proclaimed the republic,
amidst the wildest enthusiasm ; and I)upont (de rEure)
thanked the populace for maintaining order.
As in the revolution of IWO, the names of streets
are changed. The Rue du Chemin de Versailles is
now the Rue de Banquet.
. _

A proclamation decrees the immediate establish-
ment of national workshops. Another warns the
populace against the destruction of the residences
which belonged to fallen royalty, reminding them
that henceforward these edifices belong to the nation,
and that they are about to be sold for the benefit of
the victims of this revolution, and to mitigate the
losses which commerce and industry may sustain.
The Mmiteur containsa proclamation, de daring all
public and private monuments, buildings, and property
of every kind, under the safeguard of the republic,
and that all malefactors found committing damage,
injuring railways, &c, shall be immediately
arrested and tried. " Citizens," it says, " such
conduct, at all times odious, becomes now treason to
the republic. Lend them your vigilant and active
aid. I❑ defending yourselves, you defend the sacred
interest of your country.
Another proclamation from the Minister of Public
Works, invites all workmen to resume works is
course of operation.
It is stated that all the employe* of the Northern
Railway had returned to business, and that in a few
days the damages done the railway will be repaired.
M. de Lamartine has been as yet unable to take
possession of the ministry of foreign affairs, being
employed at the Hotel de Ville, where the provisional
government has its sittings and deliberates on mea-
sures to be adopted for the chose publigue.
M. David (d'Angcrs), sculptor, is made mayor of
the 11th arrondissement; and M. L. Perree, mayor
of the 3rd arrondissement.

The chiefs of division of the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs have resigned ; but they still fill their func-
tions till replaced. M. Bastide has bees appointed
by M. Lamartine as substitute for the interior in the
direction of foreign affairs.
The archbishop of Paris has visited the Eitel Dien,
also the hospitals of the Charlie and Beaujon. The
first pastor of the capital wore his archipiscopal dress
and cross; ho went through the wards giving his
benediction to the wounded.
The chapel of the Tuileries was respected by the
mob. _ _

Itrarnanuel Arago has been sent commissary to
Lyons.
All the leading sections of the opposition in the
chamber have sent their adhesion to the provisional
government.
All the leading organs of the press have signified
the same concurrence in the existing state of things.
All public functionaries are released from their
oath of allegiance to th.: fallen government. The
national guards disbanded by former governments
are recognized.
The schools and colleges hare resumed their courses.
The following manifesto of the Provisional Govern-
ment was read, amidst the acclamations of the popu-
lace, in front of the Hotel de Ville, on Saturday.
Ctrizess,—The provisional government of the republic
calls upon the people as witnesses of the gratitude they feel
for the sublime national concoarse which comes to accept
these new institutions. (Loud applause from the crowd
and the national guard.)
The provisional government of the republic have none but
the most happy news to announce to the peopl, assembled.
Royalty is abolished.
The republic is proclaimed.
National aletiers fir work are opened for workmen with-
out hire. (Immense applause.)
The army is now being reorganised. The national guard
joins the people in the most indi soluble manner, so as to
re-establish order immediately, with that very hand which
has just conquered liberty. (fresh applause.)
In short, gentlemen, the pr,visional government was de-
sirous of offering you themselves the last decree they have
' deliberated on, and signed in tide ever-memorable sitting, the
abolition of the penalty of death in political matter:.
(Bravo! Bravo!)
It is the finest decree, gentlemen, which has hitherto been
pronounced by the lips of a people on the morrow of their
victory. (Yea, yes.)
It is the character of the French nation, which escapee in
one spontanrous cry from the soul of their government.
(Yes ! yes! Bravo !) We bear it to you. I am shout to
read it to you. There does not exist a more worthy homage
to be presented to a people than the spectacle of their own
magnanimity.
At the close of this, the provisional government
(nays the Ntional), accompanied by the unanimous
cries of the people assembled at the Place de l'llotel de
Ville, was called upon to receive again the consecra-
tion of the public voice. they yielded to this
wish, accompanied by a crowd of citizens, national
guards, and students of the schools. M. Dupont
(de l'Eure), president of the provisional government,
leaning on •he arm of M. Louis Blanc, followed
by his colleagues, appeared on the balcony of
what was formerly called the Throne-hall, and
which M. roguery, by a sodden exclama'ion, his
henceforward denominated the hall of the republic.
The plaudits of the people were renewed, and
repeated from the neighbouring streets and quays.
lye shall make no comment on this act ; France
and Europe win ace therein, a brilliant testimony of
the thoughts which will direct the French republic.
We know no better reply to the false accusations
which are heaped against democracy. We must not
flatter ourselves that we shall be able to close the
lips of the calumniators ; but the calumny is effaced.
The provisional government, decided to maintain
religious toleration, has invited the ministers of all
persuasions to implore Heaven for the success and
happiness of the republic.
Another proclamation decrees that, the bakers
Sliding difficulty in obtaining wood to bake their
bread, the barricades leading to the wood-yards
should be taken away, and that a similar measure
should be taken to allow all provisions to enter Paris,
without conipromising the defence of the capital.
A national subscription has been opened for the
benefit of the wounded and the families of those
killed in tho revolution, to which the principal bank-
ina, houses and other public companies have already
subscribed.
The populace have proclaimed a war of extermina-
tion against all robbers. Two thieves employed in
their vocation were surprised by a band led by a pupil
of the Ecole Polytahnique. These wretches, in

SECOND EDITION.

LATEST FROM PARIS.

We have received from our Paris correspondent the
following letter, dated yesterday (Monday), giving
details of the latest news.
The business week began to-day. Nothing in the
external aspect of Paris would indicate to an ordinary
observer that things had undergone a change.
The markets and the streets, the Boulevards
and the passages, the gardens and the
promenades, present severally their customary
appearances. All tumult Las ceased. The buzz of
business is again heard. Cit,nyens and rttoyeaties
interchange salutes, uttering their new appellation
with a tone more f pleasantry than of seriousness.
Certainly the unanimity in adopting the new order of
things, as well as the unmistakeable satisfaction dif-
fused by it, are moat remarkable.
The following announcement, which was made on
last evening, and appeared in the journals this morn-
ing, is a source of much gratulation :
The foreign ambassadors, at a meeting held at the
Turkish amoassador's. have resolved, that in conse-
quence of the unanimity of the movement, and the
appearance of force and stability of the provisional
government, to remain at their poets until orders from
their respective courts. The terms of the resolution
are so favourable, that there is no doubt of an imme-
diate recognition of the government by all the foreign
powers.
Reports have been circulated, originating, in some
cases, with reactionary agents, and in others from
anxiety and timidity, that dissensions had taken
place among the members of the provisional govern-
ment. It was stated yesterday that Dupont (de
l'Eure) had resigned. All such statements are desti-
tute of truth.
The delegate of the department of Police has also
published a note, dated yesterday, in which it is de-
clared that there is not the slightest truth in the state-
ments which had been made of designs being on foot
for attacking property and creating devastation, and
bringing about a monarchic reaction.
Without exception the journals manifest a due sense
of their mission as a moral power, in the absence of
civil and military organization, for the maintenance of
order, the respect of person and property, the ob-
servance of the rights of national hospitality towards
foreigners, and the preservation of the nation from
every act which can Fully the slendour of the political
change it has achieved. We could cite admirable
articles from every journal without exception pub-
lished here. We can only afford space for a few.
Yesterday, notwithstanding the most unfavourable
state of the weather, the review of the national
guards, as aanonnced, took place on the
Boulevards, occupying the entire lino from
the Madeleine to the Bastille. At. 2 o'clock
the members of the Provisional Government
went from the Hotel de Ville to the Column of July.
The national guard, which consisted of two battalions
for each of the twelve legions of Paris, the 13th
legion of cavalry, and the four legions of the
suburbs, was ranged in order of battle from the
'Madeleine to the Bastille, at which latter place there
was an immense crowd. During the ceremony
of the inauguration the " Marseillaise " was sung
by the national guard and the people, accom-
panied by repeated cries of " Vice la Republique!"
The citizen troops assembled on this occasion in im-
mense numbers, to testify by their presence their ap-
proval and support of the Provisional Government.
The appearance of the cavalry was magnificent, and,
added to the regular legions of infantry, in growle
feriae, a most imposing sight. At about three o'clock
all the legions filed off before the Column of July, to
the mks of " Vive la Republique ! " the Marseillaise,
and the chorus of the Girendins. The members
of the Provisional Government, preceded by a
detachment of the national guard, and some
officers, and surrounded by a great number
of pupils of the Polytechnic School, and of
the military schoolrof St. Cyr, then proceeded to de-
scend the Boulevards, followed by all the national
guards. They were greeted with enthusiastic cries of
" Vice le Gmvernment !" and there were also hearty
shouts of " Vice Lamartine !" " Vive Amgo;" " Viva
Louis Blanc !" &e. Immense masses of spectators
lined both sides of the Boulevards, and all the
windows of all the houses, as the national gum ds
marched along, and they were accompanied by a vast
crowd. The national guards and the volunteers
chaunted the Marseillaise, and other patriotic airs,
and the chorus was taken up by the spectators. The !
effect thus produced was most imposing, several I
thousand voices at intervals keeping up the burden of
1
the songs.
Accounts coutinne to be received every hour from
the provinces. of the general adhesion of the nation
to the great act of the Parisian population. On
Friday a telegraphic dispatch, announcing the pro-
clamation of the republic at Paris was posted up at
Bordeaux, at about 2 in the afternoon, amidst cries of
"Vive is Republique!" The national guard imme-
diately assembled, and all remained quiet, except a
slight disturbance at the door of the Bordeaux bank,
occasioned by a rush of people holding. notes of the
bank eager to get them cashed. All is quiet at Orleans,
and the Republic has been acknowledged without any
difficulty in every part of the department of the Loiret.
The same has taken place in the Loir et Cher. At
Limoges; the republic was received with great enthu-
siasm bat the town remains perfectly tranquil. The
same enthusiasm was felt at Auxerre, but without auy
breach of the public peace. At Mans, the niunielpa- ,
lily immediately conformed to the instructions sent by
the provisional government. At Blois, the mayor I
and his deputy resigned their offices, and the muni-
cipal council has been obliged to form itself into a
permanent committee for the maintenance of order
and public safety. In the department of the Indre,
the proclamation of the provisional government met
with no opposition. In the western departments the
proclamation excited a certain de,-,ree of emotion, bat
there was no manifestation of a nature to create dis-
turbance. At Poitiers, the republic was accepted
with enthusiasm by the people, and the troops of the
line did duty with the national guard.
An erroneous impression has been produced by
some of the proclamations of the government, by
which the domains of the civil list have been declared

public property. The cry of confiscation has been
thereupon raised.
The apprehensions even of e. temporarys carcity in
Paris, ate dispelled by the official announcements of
the abundant stticks of provisions actually accumu-
lated in the capital, indepently of the daily arrivals.
The place is stocked with flour for thirty days' con-
sumption at less% At the Halle and the Grenier
d'Abondanee, the Mask consists of 25,000 quintanx—
' the three-fifths of the depot at the Grenier are 18,000
quintaux, the depot de gurantie 20,000, mil reserve
in the hands of the bakers 6,ooo—total, 129,000 qx.
That is not al. In the barrier of Paris, in the stations
of the railways, and in tho basins of La Villette,
thousands of quintals of flour only await the complete
re-establishment of the circulation in order to re-enter
Paris.

The prices of meat, vegetables, and other articles
of subsistence have undergone no increase. Families
continue to be supplied with butchers meat at the
same rate as they have been throughout the season.
" Ten young men attempted on Saturday evening,"
says the Cnurrier Franc 4 Is, "to get up a Legitimist
manifestation in the Faubeurg St. Germain. The peo-
ple, seeing them all dressed in black, with white cock-
ades in their hats, cried out' Tie ns ! Tiens ! A funeral !
They are undertakers men !' The young men, finding
the people in such good humour, immediately set
work. Friends; ozolaitte:, remember Henry
TIT
~ and proclaim his descendant. Long live Henry
' V.! ' 'rip. people, in the ..itue good humour,
im-
inedi:.tely cried oat,' Ah, how is he, the dear prince?
Is he not dead? So muck the better! Make our cam-
plimente to him, if you please, gentlemen. How happy
he will be! Henry IV. is dead! Vice la Republique !
Thus did the people turn Legitimacy tothe right about.
If we relate this fact, it is merely to add that, in de-
spair for the cause, they immediately went to inscribe
themselves at their respective mayoralties, as nearly
all the young men of the Faubourg St. Germain had
already done. Thus Legitimacy has turned into Re-
publicanism, the wiaest thing it could do. 'Henry IV.
he dead. Long lice the Republic!"'
It is officially announced by the provisional
government that, being apprised that bands of
disorderly persons scour the country in the environs of
the capital, burning and devastating private property,
and destroying the railways, the most decisive mea-
sures have been taken to repress and punish such
offenders. . .

In the filet moments after our glorious and bloody
struggles (says the Ilfoniteur) the public irritation
exhibited itself in the destruction of the chateaux, or'
country-seats, of fallen royalty, a vengeance without
doubt to be regretted, but easily understood.
Now it cannot be pretended that the anger of the
people would thus exhibit itself; our republican
population has no such ideas. The guilty
parties are agents of others who would sow
discord and trouble. The provisional govern-
ment will do its duty. The national guard will be
ordered to disperse these bands. Peaceable citizens
nei d not fear. _ _ .

No certain information has been received of the
proceedings of the different members of the ex-royal
family. It is only known that Louis-Philippe em-
biuktil at Treport for England ; what afterwards be-
came of him is unknown. It is also unknown
where the Duchesa of Orleans and her children are.
It is equally unknown what is become of the Dukes
of Nemour and Montpensier.
The Duchesses of Nemours and Montpensier were
reported to Lave been met by a courier " en route"
for Eu. The report of the arrest of the Duchess of
Orleans has net been confirmed.
The announcement that the Bourse Devaux Tortoni
has not ceased transacting business is contradicted.
The stockbrokers have met and sworn not to
transact any business till a leeal course has been re-
established ; none have as yet broken their word.

NARRATIVE OF THE DEPARTURE OF
LOUIS PIIILLIPE.

M. C. Maurice, the editor of the Courrier des
Spectacles, gives the following account of the depar-
ture of the ea-King from the 'fuileries :
About one o'clock in the afternoon, whilst in conversation
with the Colonel of the 21st regiment of the line, who
appeared well disposed, and of which he gave a proof in
oidering his men to sheathe their bayonets, a young man in
plain clothes, who turned out to be the son of Admiral Baudin,
on horseback, trotted past us at a quick pace, crying out
that Louis Philippe had abdicated, and re Twang that
the news might be circulated. A few instants after, at
the Pont Tournant, we saw approach from the 'Tuileries
a troop of national guards on horiehriek, at a walking
pace, forming the head of a procession, and by gestures
and cries inviting the citizens to abstain from every un-
favourable demonstration. At this moment the expres-
sion a great miejortune (one grande infortone) was
heard, and the King Louis Philippe, his right arm passed
under the left arm of the Queen, on whom he appeared
to lean far support, was seen to approach from the gate
of the Tuileries, in the midst of the horsemen, and fol-
lowed by about thirty persons in different uniforms. The
Queen walked with a firm step, arid cast around looks of
assurance and anger int. rmingled. The King wore a
black coat with a common roued hat, and wore no orders.
The Queen was in full mourning. A report was circa-
' laced that they were going to the Chamber of Deputies
to depose the act of abdication. Cries of ' Vive la Re-
forme !" Vive la France !' and even by two or three per-
sons ' Vive le Roi l' were heard. 'Toe procession had
scarcely passed the Pont Tournaut, and arrived at the
pavement surrounding the Obelisk, when the King, the
Queen, and the whole party made a sudden halt, ap-
parently without any necessity. In a moment they were
surrounded by a crowd on foot and horseback, and so
crowded Coot they had no longer their fr.cdom of motion.
Louis Philippe appeared alarm, d at this sudden approach.
In fact, the spot fatally chosen by an effect of chance
produced a strip go feeling. A few paces oil' a Bourbon
King, an innocent and resigned siclim, would have
been happy to have experienced no other treetmenr.
Louis Philippe turned quickly round, let go the Queen's
arm, took off his hat, raised it in the air, and cried
out something which the noise prevented my hearing;
in fact, the cries and 'We-mile were general. The Queen
became alarmed at no lonizer feeling the King's arm,
and turned round with extreme haste, saying something
which I could not catch. At this moment I said,
"Madame, ne craignez rich, continuez, lea range vont
s'ouvi ir devant vacua." Whether her anzieey gave a
false interpretation to my intention or not 1 am igno-
rant, but, pushing back my. hand, she exclaimed
" Laissez-moi," with a most irritated accent; she seized
hold of the King's arm, and they both turned their steps
towards two small black carriages with one horse each.
In the first were two young children. The king took the
left and the queen the right, and the chi.dren wi h their
faces close to the glass of the vehicle, looking at the crowd
with the utmost curiosity ; the coachman whipped his
horse violently, in fact with so much rapidity did it take
place that the coach appeared rather carried than driven
away; it passed before me, surrounded by the cavalry
and nations! guards that were present, and cuirassiers
and dragoons. The second carriage, in which were
two females, followed the other at the same pace, and
the escort, which amounted to about 290 men, set all at
a full gallop, taking the water side, towards St. Cloud.
1 The horse in the coach in which the King was could not
hove gone the whole way, so furiously did he gallop
under the repeated lashes of the coachman, whilst the
I surrounding crowds vociferated that they were taking
flight. At this moment I was accosted by M. Crimieux,
who said with truth that we had put the royal party in
their carriage, and we proceeded together to the Chamber
of Deputies, which he entered with M. Larochjaquelcin,
who was standing in front of the building on the squire."
—After the King oral the other members of the royal
family bad arrived at St. Cloud they got into an omnibus
and went on to V. rsailles. It is said in several of the
French journals that they then reached Ku, and from
thence went to Trillion, and there embarked in the
Furet steamer for England, and that on arriving there
the king had an apoplectic attack which caused his
death. As we have not received the London journals of a
lever date than Friday morning, we cannot tell what degree
of credit is entitled to the report of the king's arrival in
Eastland ; but we can state that up to Saturday afternoon
the provisional government had receivel no account of his
death.
The following details of the taking of the Tuileries,
which we copy front the 12tforme, will be read with
great interest:—
Different versions of the taking of the Tuileries have been
eive... The event seems to us of such importance as to have
caused a., to seek to know the details. 'We give them as
exact and as circumstantial as possible, The sth legion of
the natural guard having its major, its licutenant.colonel,
two chiefs of battalions, and several officers at its bead,
marche.! on the Tuileriee, It had arrived at the Rue de
l'Eche Ile,w hen firing was heard on the Place du Patrols Royal;
it was the post of tae Chateau d'Eau which recommenced
the combat. At the same instant the legion hastened to the
place where the firing took place, and with it the thousands
of combatants who fo'dowed it. At this moteent, Marshal
Gerard appeared with a branch of verdure in his hand, en-
joining the combatants to cease firing. Tne post of the Cha-
teau refused, and the combat cautioned. The marshal re-
turned to the corner of the line Sr. Honore. At that mo-
ment an officer of the Chateau appeared, bearing a paper in
his hands—it was the abdication of Louis Philippe. The do-
cument was taken frosa the hands elthe Asir by a Wide-

' nant of the sth legion, the citizen Aubert Roche, and re-
mitted to be preserved to the citizen Lagrarge, of Lyons
The firing continued. It was feared that the troops confined
in the Tuileries would come to take the combatants by the
Hank. A reconhaissanee had been made. Within the
railings there were 3,000 infantry, mix pieces of cannon in
battary, two squadrons of dragoons, without counting the
armed guardians and erne muntcipal guards. This furor,
' protected by the railing and the artillery, could, on thin large
place, if it had been attacked, give rise to a bloody battle—
everything wee to be feared. A profound silence reigned,
and it was only interrupted by the fusillade of the Place du
Patais Royal, and some musket-chute at the troops within
the Chateau. It was learned that the Ist, 2d, 3d, Ath, 6.h,
and 10th legions surrounded the Tuileries, and that thc others
were on the march. The combat was imminent. It was then
that Lieutenant Annert Roche, advancing towards the railing
near the Rue de Rivoli, caused the commandant of the Tui-
leries to be sent for. That person arrived with great fear.
" You are Pet!" bried the lieutenant. "You are surroute'.eil,
and a combat will ensue, if you do not evacuate the
Tuileries, and give them op to the national guard. The com-
mandant. understanding the po,ition, caved the troops to
be ranged in a line against the Chateau without castling them
to leave. Before that t',ey had been drawn up in iichelons.
Seeing that the movement of retreat was not effected, citizen
ALIN rt Roche, accemp inied by the citizen Lesueur. Ch. fde
Bet .illon of the canton of Lagny.Riney, who join d the 6th
Lesion, ran to the railing of the Rue di Rivoli, knocked, and
' announced themselves with a flag of truce. The gate was
opened, and both of them unaceompanied. with their swords
in their hands, entered into the midst of the court, which
was full of soldiers. The commandant of the Tuileries ad-
vanced, saying, that he had caned the troops to be with-
drawn. " That is not enough," said the lieutensnt ; " The
palace must be evacuated, if not, misfortune will happen."
The commandant of the Tuilerii e then conducted the two
officers before the Pavilion de 'glories', where stood several
genemis,and the Duke de Nemours, all wi h consternati in
impressed on their faces. " Mocseigneur," said the com-
mandant of the Tuileries, " here is an excellent citizen, who
will give you the means of preventing the &trees of bleed."
" What must be done," said the prince in a trembling voice
to the lieutenant who was presented to him ? " Sir, you must
evacuate the palace at this very instaat, and give it up to the
national guard—if you do not, you are loft. The combet;
will he a bloody one—the Tuileries are eurroundede_the sth
I Legion. et wLich I Tercel put, is fighting at this moment at
the Palais Royal, with itaMietr end superior officers at its
head. Take care that the combat does n.!'t Moo before these
temps bane lett, if t the Mink will be =meet eves hem,
in ~eite of you.' ' 1.-ou think so ? ' repl the Linke." I
will make the troops retire.' And, at the vane instant, in
preeenee of two offieers of the National Gavd, he gave
the order to retreat. The artillery went by the railing of the
Palace, and the staff and the Duke de Nemours by the Pa-
villon de l'lloelogr, their horses descending the flight of steps.
The cavalry followed them, then the infantry. It was even
forgotten to relieve the posts who remained. The citizen
Auhert Roche ebamed himself to introduce the National
Guard in,the Palace. He went to warn the National Guards,
who were then mar the atsfE The National Guard then pat
the butt-end of their muskets in the air, and catered the
Court of the Tuileries by the railway of the Rue de Rivoli,
accompanied by the curious, all quite astonished to Bud tnern-
selves masters of the Falai,. .A quarter of an hour after the
combat ceesed on the Place du Palais It seal, the combatants
hastened to attack the TuTeries, bat they found the rites
opened. Thus was taken or rather surrendered this redoubt-
able fortress. A National Guard made a summons in the
Paine of the armed people, and royalty evacuated the place."

Letters from Florence announce a popular demon-
stration which took place at Parma, on the 13th.
The duke was encountered in the streets by a crowd,
who tried, " Reform ;" " Constitution ;" to which he
responded angrily," You shall have them." A troop
of Austrian c evalry endeavoured to appease the peo-
ple, but used no violence.
The frost and snow were more cogent inducements,
and caused the crowd to separate. The duke imme-
diately sent an express to Piacenza for 1,200 troops.
After the manifestation which took place there on
12th February. in honour of Charles Albert, the duke
ordered some Austrian soldiers to march is. The
officers having been offended by this preference, the
duke declared to them that he had obtained Austrian
soldiers to show the people be could have as many as
he liked. He afterwards addressed to the people a
proclamation, exhorting them to abstain from disorder,
and threateuing rigorous measures in the event of
disobedience. Many domiciliary visits were made
by the police. The Grand Duke has been advised'
to Sind away the hereditary prince, lest he should be
assassinated by the multitude.
It was announced that a body of two thousand
Austrians were marching to Parma on the 13th,
called by the duke in consequence of the popular de-
monstration which had taken place.
The most certain signs indicate that a renewal of
the Holy Alliance is about to be entered into against
the revolutionary movements of the epoch. It is
said, on one hand, that Austria is about to make
great concessions to all the state assemblies of the
monarchy. It appears that the Austrian govern-
ment are desirous of giving their provinces a system
of independent administration, as they have just
done fur Italy, by the establisbment of an Italic chan-
cellery for the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom..
The following announcement, in the Gusette
rerselk Allemande of Feb. 24th, is not the less im-
portant because it preceded the outbreak and revolu-
-1 tion in France: _ _ . . _

"It is reported that orders have been issued for
the corps of the army of Prussia and Pomerania to
be marched on to the frontiers. This fact set= to
confirm the report that an agreement had been con-
tracted between the three northern powers for the
eventualities of Italy, and in consequence of which
Austria would now adopt, with the consent of
Prussia and Russia, the most energetic measures in
Lombardy."

Ex-KING OF THE ERENCH.—The steamer Violet
has just returned to Dover, from Dieppe, without
obtaining any information of the Ex-King of the
French or the other members of the Orleans family.

INTERCOURSE WITH THE CONTINENT.

The many anxious friends of those who are now
on the Continent will be happy to hear that every
possible exertion has been made by government
and the several steam navigation companies, to in-
crease the facilities for the return to England of those
who may be anxious to do so. The following ar-
rangements we communicate on the best authority :
The most prompt and active steps have been taken by
the directors of the several steam packet companies on the
'south coast, including the South Eastern Railway Com-
pany,the Peninsular and Oriente: Steam NsvigatioaCompany,
and the company of the London, Brighton, and South
Coast Railways, to secure the rapid and regular tnuismission
of passengers quitting France for England ; •and there is no
doubt that the most ample means have been provided for
this purpose.
In addition to the Admiralty packets at Dover and South-
ampton, the noble fleet of steamers at Folkston, belonging
to the South Eastern Railway Company, are in (nil wail:.
The London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Com-
pany have, with the most praiseworthy seal, and by exer-
tions continued day and night, equipped their fine new
steamers, the Newhaven, Brighton, and Dieppe, in an in-
credible short space ut time, and these vessels are now engaged
carrying p impacts between Havre and Portsmouth, the
admiral at Portsinouth having orders from the admiralty to
render every assistance to vessels arriving there with passen-
gers from k ranee.
The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Com-
pany have most generously added their nolde vessels,
the Iberia, Monarch, Achilles, Madrid, and Hiados-
tan (now at Sothampton), to this service, and they are
alas engaged in carrying passengers between Havre and
Southampton.
