LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 24, 1849.

After the Demonstration in favour of the Hunga-
rians, which took place yesterday in the London
Tavern, it is unnecessary to assert that the English
,multitude sympathise with that heroic race, and
entertain the most profound sentiments of abhorrence
and Russian intervention. The
mfoereAtiaugstrwiaan tyranny
was
taa
nny
magnificent corroboration of the asser-
tion made in the House of Commons on Saturday by
Lord PALMERSTON—to the effect that the population
of these islands regard with unanimous feelings
of delight the heroic struggle of the Mag-
yars. Yet numerous and enthusiastic as
was the assemblage, and eloquent and earnest
as were the speeches, it should be felt and
remembered that
dthat those speeches were but the pulse of
and that that meeting was but one
throb of that great heart of England which, accord-
ing to the Noble Lord the Foreign Secretary, is
beating with an unanimous impulse of admiration
and gratitude for the Hungarians.
It was with surprise and indignation that we heard
the Honourable Gentleman the representative of the
West Riding of Yorkshire misrepresenting the
speech of the Minister at the head of the
Foreign Department, and Win; with an Adam.

o act according to the dictates of his noble heart and
of his patriotic genius. A repetition of such demon-
strations as the one of yesterday, and Lord PALMER -
STON would be enabled to carry out his own policy
in regard to our foreign relations in defiance of all
the opposition of those organs of aristocracy, who, if
they do not resemble the old woman of Syracuse, are
still remarkable for their indications of " antiquated
One circumstance should not be overlooked in the
extraordinary demonstration of yesterday in the Lon-
don Tavern, namely, that on the occasion of one of
the supplementary speakers suggesting that in case of
an emergency England should go to war for the
purpose of maintaining the cause of Hungary, the
v: hole of this immense meeting rose and responded to
the call with one glorious roar of acclamation. Al-
though opposed as strongly as Mr. COBDEN in
principle to the system of foreign inter-
vention, we nevertheless conceive it to be
only just to announce that incident in
reporting at length the proceedings of the assemblage.
It was, perhaps, the most remarkable indication
of the enthusiasm for which the demonstration
was conspicuous —an enthusiasm which greeted
with shouts of admiration the names of the
Heroic BEM and the Great LUDWIG Kos-
SUM. As an expression of English sympathy
for Hungarian freedom the voice of this vast meeting
in the capital of the British empire will be reverbe-
rated through the medium of the press to the camp
of BEM, to the Council-chambers of KOSSUTH, to
the camarilla of Austria, and to the Cabinet
of the AUTOCRAT of all the Russias. It is one more
step towards the consolidation of the nationality of the
Magyars, and the first effort towards the emancipa-
tion of the policy of Lord PALMERSTON by the hands
of that great people of whose gallant and chivalrous
qualities he is a noble representative.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Prince of CANINo, the son of LUCIEN BO-
NAPARTE, embarked on board a steamer at Havre on
Saturday for Southampton. He was accompanied on
board the steamer by a gendarme, who did not quit
his side until the steamer was under way. His
Highness was extremely indignant at the manner in
which he was treated.
AIM. de Broglie, Thiers, Mole, Berryer,
Daru, Fould, De Montalembert, Persigny,
tory, and several other Members of the reactionary
party have formed a club which has taken the title
of "Association for the Propagation of Anti-So-
cialist Principles, and for the Amelioration of
the Position of the Working Classes." It would
appear from the programme as if this were intended
as a bribery and treating committee, for the purpose
of influencing elections.
The apartments of the Duke of MONTPENSIER in
the Castle of Vincennes have been fitted up for the PRESIDENT of the Republic, who intends to take up his
residence there for a short time for the purpose of
witnessing the artillery practice in the Polygon. It
will be a somewhat curious sight to see Lours NA-
POLEON BONAPARTE and his Legitmatist Minister,
M. DE FALLOUX, standing together at the place of
the execution of the Duc D'ENGHIEN.

' The removal of Admiral BAUDIN from the com.
mand of the Mediterranean fleet had created grew
surprise at Toulon.

The Government is preparing to send all the non-
commissioned officers in the army who are suspected
of holding republican opinions to Algeria, as a
punishment.
M. CANTAGRIIL has succeeded in escaping to
Brussels.
The Government having issued orders for the ar-
rest of M. BLIN, the commandant of the National
Guards of Thurn, in the department of the Upper
Rhine, the officers of the police were proceeding to put
the order into execution, when the whole population
of the town turned out in defence of M. BLIN ;the
authorities thereupon had the rappel beaten, but the
National Guard refused to aid in the arrest of the
commandant, and M. BLIN therefore remains at
liberty.

ledgment that he himself was absent from the
House during Saturday's discussion on an excursion of
' pleasure), that the Noble Viscount never once inti-
mated his regret at the invasion of the Hungarian
dominions by the armies of northern despotism ;
whereas it was distinctly asserted by the Foreign
Secretary that he observed the attacks upon Hun-
garian independence with pain, and that he, as an
English administrator, was only waiting for a fitting
opportunity to protest against the proceedings of the
Governments of Vienna and St. Petersburgh. Gal-
lantly, generously, almost chivalrously did the Hon.
Gentleman the Member for the county of Middlesex
start forward—although the acktfewledged and
incessant antagonist of the Administration—to
vindicate the Noble Minister for the Foreign De-
partment from the charges so unfairly and disin-
genuously made against him. We do not remember
any misstatement more gross or flagrant than that
attempted by Mr. COBDEN yesterday, nor any vin-
dication more gallant and complete than the
vindication of Lord PALMERSTON, which im-
mediately followed in the indignant remarks
of Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE. After directly
contradicting the assertion made by the Member for
the West Riding as to the nature of the opinions ex-
pressed on Saturday by the Foreign Secretary, the
Member for Middlesex observed, that he it was who
had had the gratification of bringing forward the
motion which elicited the manly declaration of his
opinions from Lord PALMERSTON, and that it was a
fine spectacle to see that distinguished statesman
standing upon the floor of the House of Commons,
addressing himself to the assembled Parliament of
England in language that nobly became the
lips of a British Minister. It was in a similar
strain that the Hon. Gentleman the representative
of Penryn and Falmouth proclaimed the necessity of
the people so acting and so speaking—acting with
such unanimity and speaking with such unanimity,
as to unfetter the hands of the only man whose genius,
integrity, and patriotism redeemed the character of
the Government, and imparted to an otherwise
worthless Cabinet the leaven of respectability. It is
this circumstance which more than any other it is
imperatively requisite, for the sake of liberality in
England and of democratic freedom throughout Eu-
-1 rope, should be borne in recollection by the population
of the United Kingdom ; and we thank Mr. BERNAL
O.RORNE for the manner in which, on Saturday, he
intimated that fact within, and Mr. Mowarr for the
manly distinctness with which he proclaimed it yes-
terday without, the walls of the Imperial Parliament.
It is absolutely essential for the conservation of Eu-
ropeen liberty, that the people of England should re-
cognise—and recognise betiine.o.—the truth that
Lord PAIMEMSTON is the only real and energetic
champion of freedom among the ranks of
the ruling Administration—that his intentions
are thwarted, his efforts crippled, and his remark-.
able abilities contracted by the uncongenial labours,
intellects, and aspirations of his timorous and vacil-
lating colleagues. Let the English people perceive
this indubitable fact before it be too late, before the
intrigues of a clique have triumphed in the expulsion
of this great and patriotic statesman from a Cabinet,
in condescending to lend his illustrious name to
which he has hazarded the bloom of his reputation.
Let the English people feel strongly, earnestly, and
at once that if they only apply the due amount of
" pressure," and articulate their views with sufficient
distinctness, they will enable the Foreign Secretary
