LONDON, THURSDAY, APRIL 20,
WE cannot but persist in the opinion, that the
great danger to this country, its prosperity., liberty,
and institutions, does not arise from danger of
popular commotion, or insurrectionary tendencies,
from any efforts of orators to work up the people to
sedition, or from any readiness of the people to fall
into such a snare. Danger, we believe, on the con-
trary, to lie in the supineness of the legislature—
in the government's allowing itself to be ear-
ned away by panic, and absorbed in mere
measures of repression and police, instead of
seeking to win and content all classes of the
population by prudently consulting their wishes
and their interests, by remedying abuses and follow-
ing up reforms, and by our ministers heading thit halt,
e on-
ward move of the country, instead of making
and prohibiting all advances in the uncertain state of
the future.
No country can stand still in timas of universal
movement and revolution such as these. We must
either progress or retrograde. And the alternative
depends altogether upon the public's maintaining
its confidence and self-possession, or upon its
allowing itself to be frightened out of both. The
French revolution of 1792 and its consequences, flung
this country back a full half century. Instead of the
reforms and the progress, which even PITT contem-
plated, England was flung under a despotic tory
regime, curtailed of its liberties, fleeced of its re-
sources, and given up as a prey to a frighted aristo-
cracy. The French revolution of 1830, on the contrary,
gave us an immense impulse onwards--gave us, in
fact, the Reform Bill. And yet the revolution
of 1930 awakened the greatest effervescence in the
population of this country. A tory ministry
was then in power, and the Whigs, being
out of office, did not shrink from placing themselves
at the head of the popular movement, and stirring and
exciting that movement, till it enabled them to carry
a great measure of progress, and with it to instal
themselves, to all appearance, as permanent ministers
of the crown.
We have now some reason to regret that the
French revolution of 1848 did not find a 'fory minister
at the helm. For then perhaps we might have had

PARIS, APRIL 19,104, a.m.
Notwithstanding the dismal prognostics of yester-
day, and the forebodings of the evening, and the
doubling of the guards in all the guard-houses of
Paris last night, the capital has continued
in profound tranquillity, nor is there any
present external sign of that tranquillity be-
ing broken. It is to be regretted that
the government in its manifestoes and proclama
Lions, pursues a course which, to say the least of it,
indicates feebleness. To explain the proceedings
of yesterday and Sunday, when from 150,000
to 200,000 peaceable citizens were suddenly called
from their homes and their affairs to take up
arms in defence of the public safety, it puts forth
the hypothesis of a monarchical reaction and exclaims,
"Plus de Royaute !" "Plus de ltegence!" Now
there is not a child above twelve years old in Paris
that would not laugh in the face of those who would
seriously make such suppositions : and it is as noto-
rious as the fact of the fall of the monarchy of July
on 25th February, that the prodigious demonstration
of yesterday and Sunday were not directed against
any partisans of royalty, but against those of demo-
cratic anarchy impersonated by two or three members
of the l'rovisioual Government, at whose backs are,
or are supposed to be, the scum of the fauxbourgs.
The explanation of this is simple—there is a divi-
sion in the government. The majority is afraid of
the minority. It is against the minority, in fact,
and its partisans, that the demonstrations of yesterday
and Sunday were directed.
To the report of yesterday's proceedings, contained
in the letters of the morning and the evening, I have
little or rothing to add. That report anticipated the
contents of the journals of this morning in referenceto
these events.
Various detachments of regiments of the line,
cavalry and infantry, are waiting outside the barriers
to enter Paris, which they are expected to
do to-day. A meeting of some of the members of the
government was held yesterday at the mi-
nistry of war, to decide finally upon the
question of ordering these troops to enter Paris.
General Courtais, the Commander-in-chief of the
National Guard, attended on this occasion, and de-
chtred that ho had ascertained that the 411. n.) of tha
National Guards of Paris generally was favourable to
the introduction of the troo.
A decree appears in the Moniteur of this morning,
which will have an important effect on consumers in
the capital, modifying the toll on wine:which at pee-
sent is exorbitant on the common and cheap wines
used as the ordinary beverage of the people, and in-
significant on the more expensive sorts. In future it
is to be imposed on the ad valorem principle,
A programme of the celebration appointed for to-
morrow, also appears in the Moniteur. At 7 o'clock
the National Guard and the line will occupy the places
between the Marigny-square and the Bastille and the
two quays. At 8 the members of the Provisional
Government will meet at the Ministry of War. At
half-past 8 they will set out for the Arc de Triumpho.
The colonels of the army, the chiefs of batallions of I
the Guard Mobile, the colonels of the republican and
civic guard, accompanied by their standard bearers,
will be grouped in front of the platform. Each
colonel will mount on the platform and receive from
one of the members of the Provisional Government
the colours presented to him. In the evening the
town will be illuminated.
It was announced last evening that government
had appointed General Changarnier commander-in-
chief of the troops of the line in the capital.
An extraordinary credit of 9,639,000 fr. has been
opened to the Minister of War for the purchase of
13,465 horses for the cavalry.

At Valence, M. N. Chancel, a commissary
government, sent from Paris to replace the other com-
missary, has been placed under arrest by the latter.
The Messager of yesterday evening
.says :—" This I,
afternoon we saw pass along the Quilt aux Flours a
hackney coach, escorted by about two hundred na-
tional guards, and in which were four officers of the
civic force, two of whom appeared to us to be under
arrest.
" On Sunday last (says the ;Imager), between
11 4 and 5 o'clock in the afternoon, a mail on horseback,
1 wearing a tricolour brassard, and stating that he
was sent by the Provisional Government, passed
along the quays on the right bank of the Seine, read-
ing a proclamation to the national guards. He was
accompanied by a small number of persons on foot,
armed with muskets, and said that justice demanded
•hat each corporation of workmen should have a re-
presentative in the National Assembly. A captain of
the 3rd battallion of the 2nd legion desired him to
exhibit the powers in virtue of which he harangued
the citizens. After a sharp discussion the agitator
was arrested and taken to the ROtel-de-Ville."

ITALY.—No advisee more recent in date than for-
warded yesterday have arrived from Italy. The Paris
journals, however, of last night and this morning an-
nounce in a couple of lines the fact that Peachiera
capitulated on the 15th. This is affirmed on the
authority of a letter from Turin, but no details are
given.
No confirmation has arrived of the report which I
sent of the defeat of the Venetian auxiliaries by the
Austrians, between Vicenza and Verona, but

the
derable anxiety is entertained for the success
liberal party, owing to the opinion of military autho-
rities that die issue of the conflict will badecided by
the advance of the Austrian army, now the line of
the Iconzo, in the Friuli and its junction with the
forces under Radetzki at Verona.

THE progress of revolutionary opinions, or rather of
revolutionary passions, in Ireland is signally displayed
in the undisguised_ and unbridled censure which has
fallen upon Mr. Jons O'CoNsleu. on account of his
having subscribed the declaration of loyalty recently
agreed upon by the general body of Irish peers and
commoners in London. The document in question,
though not altogether unexceptionable, perhaps, in
point of form, contains in reality nothing which any
man who values peace and order need object to sign ;
and the utter ab-ence of sectarian or political com-
plexion in the numerous array of names already ap-
pended to it, would doubtless at any other
time have silenced all cavil on they part of
those who secretly abvt, whilo th shrink
from the open responsibility of adopting, the
illegal and anti-social doctrines of Mr. MITCHELL
and his friends. The declaration as subscribed
in London during the last few days,is little more than
a transcript of that which for several weeks has been
in course of signature througholt every part of Ire-
land, and which already bears the attestation of men
of every creed and grade; of the catholic bishop and
the protestant peer; of the landlord and the trader;
the parson and the priest ; the man who lives by pro-
fessional labour, and of him who depends upon com-
mercial security. It expresses, and was avowedly
intended to express, nothing more nor less than the
settled conviction that whatever evils might afflict
the country, or however urgent might be the claim
for their redress, no change was worth seeking
through anarchy, and that against its approach id
I
n 1
any and in every guise, the property, the ,an
the education of the community would at all times be
ready in self-defence to arm.
Yet for signing such a document, in common with I
the best men of all classes and conditions, Mr. Jostle
O'CoNNeLL now stands arraigned by a large section
of his immediate followers, and with diffizulty
averted their public condemnation of him at the last
weekly assemblage at Conciliation-hall. His trial
for " treason to the cause" has been, it would seem, 1,
adjourned to some more convenient place and season;
but loyalty to the QUEEN, or its profession, is openly
regarded as recover
hi repeal, and if the recreant
leader would recover his lost popularity and pre-emi-
nence,he must renounce the allegiance he has plighted '
either by equivocation or in so many words.
Several of those who have hitherto been
chief
reckoned
fast friends of the Old Ireland party and its ,
have already pronounced in favour of the pike and rift*
doctrines of the Young Irelanders. Three of the
usual orators of Conciliation Hall appeared at thel
last meeting of the confederates, and publicly adopt
entle-ed
their insurgent confession of faith. If these g
men are now permitted to resume their former posts,
or are suffered to participate in the proceedings of
the association, all farther distinction between the
two bodies will be practically at an end, and their re-
union for a common purpose, and by common means,
will be no longer uncertain. hetT old physical force
controversy will thus perhaps be erminated by the
triumph of the Mitchellites, and the succumbing of
the professed friends of moral and legal agitation.
The memory and the maxima of O'CoNNett will
thenceforth be tram pled under foot, and nothing will
remain but a measuring of brute force with the exe-
cutive power.
A speech delivered upon Monday last at Concilia-
tion Hall by the Rev. Dr. MILEY tends palpably in
this direction. Evading the topic of usatiohave
n
against Mr. JOHN O'CONNELL, which, as acc
we
already stated, has been put in a certain abeyance for
the hour, the reverend patriot took occasion to repu-
diate in
unqualified terms the notion that the repealer. ,
generally approved or sanctimed the part taken by 1
their leader in the interview, which at his instance
recently took place with Lord JOHN Russell.. Large
and varied as were the demands which he then put I
forward, Dr. MILEY calls upon the multitude to de- I
clan by their acclamations that with not any nor with
all of these combined would they be content ; and he 1
wishes plainly the inference to be drawn from thence,
that concessions, no matter how wise or timely, would
Ise of no avail. Now we confess that the conclusion we
draw from such proceedings is just the reverse of
that which this reverend enemy of peace desires to
suggest ; nay, the very earnestness of his deprecation
ought to convince impartial minds that he and all,
who think as he does, fear the tranquillising:efficacy
of healing and conciliatory measures on the part of
the government. The craft is, as 1)r. MILEY appre-
hends, in danger from tardy justice being at length
done to Ireland. Would that we could say we feel
confident is there being solid ground for his mis-
.
givin !
Bullet ministers think of it in time. If the bare
announcement of their intention to bring in an elec-
tive franchise and a municipal 11, for the purpose of
giving equal rig bi
hts to the people of the two countries,
has already filled the councils of sedition with alarm,
and already driven the violent to more frantic and
foolish co
urses— might we not anticipate justly
and reasonably from the avowal of a broad and com-
prehensive policy for Ireland, such as the Whigs in
opposition undertook to produce, but of which we
have, daring the last two years, heard nothing
at all?

MADRID.—We have received the Madrid mails of ;
the 14th. The most curious event they announce is
the banishment of the Duke and Duchess Montpen- 1
sier to Seville. This circumstance is explained as
fol. ows :—The Duke of 'Montpensier gave a tint to
his sister-in-law, in private conversation with her,
that her diadem would be more steady on her
brow if her ministers would yield a little more to
the spirit of the age by adopting a less despotic policy.
Isabella repeated this to Christina, and Cto
Narvaez.
An intimation was immediately given to the Duke
and Duchess de Montpensier that they had her Ma-
jesty's gracious permission to visit
which they
Aranduez, and
thence make a tour of Andalusia, after
would find in Seville an agreeable " sejour." They
were to start on the lath.
The late communication of M. Bulwer to the
Spanish cabinet, recommending a more liberal policy,
and the answer to it form the principal subject of dis-
, cussion with the Madrid journals. Great indignation
' in expressed at the English minister for presuming to

UNITED STATES - MEXICO.
The announcement of the arrival of the Caledonia,
and a short summary of her news, appeared in the
Barren yesterday. We now gives full detail of in-
telligenw. The dates from Mexico are to the 16th
of March.
In accordance with the terms of the qty, General
Butler, who, as has been stated, perseded
General Scott, had made, through his representatives,
Generals Worth and Smith, an armistice, which is to
last four months, with the Mexican commissioners. The
armistice was signed at Guadalupe on the 2nd of March,
and was subsequently approved of by the President at
Queretaro. The question as to whether the treaty
would be ratified by the Mexican congress remained
as yet unsettled. Thirty-one members of congress
were at Queretaro on the 21st ult. A meeting was to
have been held on the 29th, at which it was supposed a
mach greater number would be in attendance. A cir-
cularletter hadbeen aentto the govemorsof the various
departments in relation to the treaty of peace. The
governor of San Luis was in favour, and that of Gaa-
naxato against it. The governors of Jalisco and
Zacatecas had asked for the publication of the treaty.
General Lane had returned to Mexico on the Ist of
March, having made a successful expedition against
the guerillas. After reaching Guadalupe, his com-
mand (says the American Star of the 3rd of March)
sallied forth for Sequaltaplan, which they reached at
sunrise. Before arriving, however, they were in-
' formed that 3,000 Lancers were there. By turn, the
Texans were in the advance, preceded by Lane and
Hays, and when they got opposite the first house in
edge of the town a volley of esoopeta ball. came
whistling from it. The doors were soon opened, and
the assailants killed. At the next house, or cermet, it
was the same thing, and Major Polk coming up, the
town was regularly assailed, the enemy firing from
every house • in some instances, we are told, it came
4o a band-to-hand: fight. In a short time the enemy
were driven from their positions, and some of them
collecting in a body outside the town, were pursued
respectively by Lane and Hays, and terribly cut up.
The loss in killed on the side of the enemy is set dews
at 100 at the least. We lost one man killed and four
wounded. Fifty prisoners were brought into the city
yesterday, amongst whom wereCapt.Monts no, and two
lieutenants. Colonel Montano, the father of the
captain, was killed, as was also Padre Martinez, the
second and bosom friend of Jamuta. Jarauta himself,
it is believed, was wounded, but he escaped, with five
or six men.
Santa Anna was a Tehnacan on the 12th, hav-
ing left Grimes on the night previous. He had
applied to Gen. Twiggs, throaghHughes, for
permission to pass through Vera Cruz and out of the
country. A special express from Jalapa reached
Vera Cruz on the evening of the 16th inst with the
application, and as the general at once granted the
permission asked, it was supposed the ex-president
would arrive there in a day or two.
A report was current in New Orleans on the 23rd
that the steamer was detained at Vera Cruz from the
17th to the 18th, to receive Santa Anna on board,
and that he was in truth a passenger on her. This
I intelligence had been brought to New Orleans by the
West India steamer Great Western, which left Vera
Cruz on the 18th.
Major Graham arrived in New Orleans on the 20th
init., on his way to Vera Cruz, bearing the ratified
treaty to Gen. Butler.
In America the greatest enthusiasm still existed
amongst the people in regard to the proclamation of
the French republic • which, however it might be felt
by the senate, that body did not seem in any hurry to
proclaim. Resolutions had been moved by Mr. Allen,
in senate, to the effect
That In the name and on behall of the American people, the con.
gratulation of Congress are hereby tendered to the people of Prance
upon their income In their recent efforts to consolidate liberty by sr
bodying its principlesrepublican form of government. rat the
President of the United Staten be and he is hereby requested to brass.
mit this resolution to the American minister at Paris, with instruo.
tione to present it to the French government
but these being judged premature, by Mr. Calhoun,
amongst others, were voted to lay over indefinitely.
This decision had not pleased some of the preas.
In the same sitting (the 31st) a message from
the President, approving of the conduct of the
American charge d'affaires in Paris, was received,
and submitted to a committee.
The New York Herald is exceedingly indignant
I because the senate in secret session on the 30th, com-
mitted to prison Mr. Nugent, one of its correspondents,
for refusing to tell who furuiblied a copy of the
Mexican treaty, &c., for publication in that paper.
A grand demonstration was made on the 3rd, by
sympathisers in the French republican government.
The demonstration had been got up by the mayor of
New York, Mr. Brady, and was on a large scale.
Three stands were arranged along the principal ave-
nue, crossing the park in front of the city hall; the I
centre, a very large one, being devoted to the Ameri-
can portion of the assemblage, over which Mr. Bredy
presided; Cie right to the French, whose principal
officer was M. Caylus ; and the left to the Germans.
The excitement was so great, that, notwithstanding!
the people were packed into a dense mass, there was
a continual swaying back and forth, as if some un-
controllable impulse possessed them, and the cheers
which the remarks of a speaker elicit'ed were echoed
I and repeated by those in front of the other stands.
I Several times the bands played the 0 Marseillaise,"
I and each time the noble song wag shouted forth by
hundreds of voices with an enercy and fire that gave
a strange and intense excitement to the proceedings.
An address to the patriots of Paris was adopted, and
in the evening the city hall was illuminated along its
entire front, and before the balcony was placed a
piece of fire-works which displayed in letters of fire
the words " Vive la Republique." A funeral cere-
mony in honour of those who had fallen in Paris had
also taken place. M. Pageot, the French envoy,
emediately resigned his post on hearing of the

aggression.
In Lemberg and the other cities great quiet pre-
vails; but letters from Czernowitz state that the
whole of Moldavia is in commotion, and that every-
where there is a tendency to join the now liberated
Austria. Two battalions of infantry had gone by the
railway to Gratz, where the movement has assumed
a formidable character—namely, that of a rising of the
poor against the rich.
Great excitement has been caused on the Vienna
Bourse by the intelligence that the National Bank
has resolved to give a loan of thirteen million florists
to the finance administration, for which property of
the state is to be mortgaged. The aspect of the com-
mercial world is gloomy. M. Anselm Von Roths-
child, son of Solomon Rothschild, has boa
here several days, but neither his presence nor the
negotiations which are continually going on between
the Bank and the department of the finance have led
to any satisfactory result. An income tax would
stand the beet chance here.
BAVARlA.—Musiles.—The King of Bavaria has
written an autograph letter to the Minister of the
Interior respecting the working classes, expressing
his great concern at the present state of commerce,
and his desire that immediate steps should be taken
by the co-operation of all parties to effect the restora-
tion of trade and commerce, the renewal of con-
fidence, and the improvement of the working classes ;
that althcugh this does not entirely depend upon the
government, he nevertheless requests the government
to take immediate steps to provide work for all who
shall be inclined to work, by undertaking railways,
waterworks, bridges, roads, public buildings, &c., so
far as the public exchequer will admit.
Lieut.-General Von der Mark, Minister of War,
has been released from his poet, at his own request.
BADEN.—The attempted revolution in favour of!
a republic made by Struve and Hecker is a complete
failure. The meeting at Donammrhingen did not
answer to their expectations, and it was therefore
adjourned. It was said that a meeting would be held
at Stockach.
FRANKFURT.—Our slates from Frankfort are to
the 17th. At the sitting of the Germanic Diet on
the 15th, on the communication being made that in
the Baden portion of the Lake of Constance an in-
surrection threatened to break out, in consequence of
an appeal that MM. Hecker and Struve had addressed
to the people of the district, for them to assemble at
Donauesschingen with ammunition and provisions
for six days, in order to join themselves with the
bands who are expected from France, and to obtain
by force the pretended exigencies of the people, the
Diet decreed,
The governments of Heave-Cassel and of Nassau are, in con-
formity with the resolutions of the 29th of March, the 4th
and 10th of April, to march immediately all their disposable
troops to unite with the Bth corps of the federal army, and
to notify without delay to the Diet the execution of the pre-
seat decree, as well as the nomination of the superior com-
manders of the troops.
The committee of fifty on the 14th was occupied,
with closed doors, with the disorders which had been
provoked in the principal part of the grand duchy
of Baden by MM. Hecker and Struve. A commis-
sion composed of MM. Soiron and Buhl repaired, by
Heidelberg and Mannheim, to Carlsruhe, to insist on
the maintenance of order. Another commission, com-
posed of MM. Venedney and Spatz, had left for
Strasburg, in order to give better informs ion to the
German workmen.

Mr. Jacob Astor, the founder of Astoria, at the
mouth of the Columbia, and of whose infant colony
Washington Irving has written such an interesting
account, died at New York. He was buried on the
let inst. Washington Irving is one of his executors.
CALIFORNIA.—Dates from Chihuahua to the Ist of March
state that the American force, which, in conjunction with
the garrison at El Paso, was destined to operate upon the
rest of the state, is composed of a thousand men, with six
pieces of artillery, and corresponding ammunition. The
balance of the invading force comprises 500 men, with six
other pieces of artillery at Santa Fe, 200 troops of the line
with eight pieces at Albuquerque, and 300 at Taos. Thus
the whole expedition extends from the frontier of New

CENTRAL AXERICA.—By the arrival of the brig Aiice
Bendy, Capt. Dunbar, at New York, front Belize, Hon-
duras, we have advioes to the 17th of March. The revolu-
tion in Guatemala, which commenced in October last, was
still spreading, and the rebels who had, on the 4th ef Feb-
ruary last, increased their active force to one thousand men,
had gained some victories in the open held. A terrible state
of again had been produced in consequence. In Jalapa, the
coreggidor, Signor Figuerra, and eighty others, had been
killed, and the road from Guatemala to Trebel was impass-
able..ended, a Labour on sugar plantations was almost entirely sus.
and martial law was proclaimed. The rebels had
defeated the government forces at Santa Croz, arid were
about to MTGE on Salamanca, which hid been fortified.

HOLLAND.—TAE HAGUE, APRIL It —yester-
day morning intelligence was received here that the
Phrenix steamer, having on board the mortal remains of his
late Roast Highness Prince Alexander of the Netherlands,
had arrived at gellevoet Stoic, and would reach Rotterdam
at noon this day. The funeral is to take place with great
solemnity at Delft on Friday the 21st of April. The
Nelerlandsche Stant C'onsant of the 17th publishes a royal

• free port. The official journal also published the law of
the 30th of March, which grants an augmentation of
2.704,0006. to the department of war for 1848.

LONDON PHILANTHROPIC SOCIETY.—The anniver-
sary festival of this charity was celebrated yesterday at the
London Tavern. The distinguishing feature of the society
is that of extending relief in bread and coals to those who
have been reduced to poverty and distress. Every subscriber
is his own almoner, and is supplied with tickets for four-
pound loaves of bread and 56 lbs, of coals to the full amount
of his subscription, and an additional number arising from
the contributions of benevolent donors to the charity. Con-
tractors, who deliver the coals free of expense, are appointed
by the society in all parts of the metropolis to facilitate the
delivery of bread and coals throughout the extended field of
its charitable operations, giving to its members the full be-
nefit of its cdlections, and insuring thereby the most effi-
cient means of widely and judiciously carrying into effect
tne objects of the charity. It appears that the exertions of
the society have been highly beneficial during the severities
of the past winter. The company on the present occasioa
included many influential gentlemen, Lord Dudley Coutte
Stuart occupyinga the chair. The usual loyal toasts having
been dis of, the Chairman proposed " Prosperi.y to the
Society, ' and the secretary then read a list of subscriptions,
amounting in the whole to about 3201.
CHARTIST CONVENTION.—The delegates met ugain
yesterday morning, when it was moved that the proposed
elections for members to the national assembly should be
postponed for a week, on the ground that, as her Majesty's
ministers would be out of town, the assembly would not be
able to present their contemplated memorial to the Queen
until their return, which was agreed to. Some disclosures
were made as to the financial affairs of the convention, tend-
ing to show that deficiencies exist in other quarters, as well
as government budgets.—Mr. Harney wished to know
whether there were any funds in hand to pa the expenses of
the national assembly when they met?—Mr. Clarke (who
fills the office of Chancellor of the Exchequer) stated that the
expenses of the meeting of the forthcoming assembly would be
about 3001. per week, and that at present there were no fonds
whatever in hand, and he begged further to state that to-
wards paying the expenses of the present eonvention
the executive had already drawn upwards of 1001. from the
resources of one gentleman.—Several of the delegates
thought that these disclosures ought not to be made matters
of public notoriety, but should have been brought forward
in committee, and they suggested that the gentleman who
had advanced the funds required for the expenses of the
committee should be immediately repaid.—On one of the
delegates declaring that all his expenses had been paid by
those who sent him, and that any delegate who had not been
so paid, had no right to take his seat, another delegate
rose with virtuous and extreme indignation, saying, that
havi heard the m,
he would aonstrous expressions given utterance to
by theng fiat
speakert once and for ever leave the
convention ; and rushed out of the hall. He was, however,
hotly pursued by a portion of his colleagues, and with ap-
parent reluctance induced to return, when mutual enpoLlane-
tions haring taken placefor, harmony was restored.—The ues-
tion of ecl,',onrament the Easter holidays was agreed to.
