whom you will see assembled in a, flaw day.' time, to
prepare and arrange for it the institutions which we
have only had the glory of prcclaitning."—(Grent ap-
plause ; Vive la Republique r)
One of the gentlemen belonging to the deputation

then said, " We certainly were much touched with the
moderation of France after the events of February,
and we are assured that henceforward a good intelli-
gence will exist between France and England."

sl. DE LAMARTINE—" It was but a few moments
since that I addressed one of your compatriots as Minis-
ter of Foreign Affairs, when I told him that for the
future that title was not necessary for the maintc•
nance of harmony between the two people, us the
true Minister of Foteign Affairs between France and
England is the invinilble spirit which unites them in
the religious sentiment of fraternity."
The deputation withdrew with shouts of " Five la
Republique ! Vice la France !"
A deputation of English Quakers, representing a
peace meeting, introduced by ARTHUR O'Coaaoß,
preceded that of the English residents.

The Moniteur Algerien, of the sth instant, contains

the following valedictory order of the day, addressed
by the Duke D'AumALE to the inhabitants of

Algeria :
" Faithful to the duties of a citizen and soldier, I
remained at my post as long as I considered my
presence useful to the service of the country.
" That obligation no longer exists. General
Cavaignac has been appointed Governor•• General of
Algeria. Until his arrival at Algiers, the functions
of Governor• General, ad interim, will be filled by
General Changarnier.
" In obedience to the national will I quit the
country, but front the depth of exile all my wishes
shall be for your prosperity and the glory of France,
which I should have been anxious to serve fur a longer
period.
" Algiers, March 3. " H. D'ORLEANS."
The Prince addressed, on the same day, the follow-
ing proclamation to the army
" Head-quarters of Algiers, March 3d, 1848.

" General 6liangarnier Will fill ad interim the
functions of Governor-General until the arrival at
Algiers of General Cavaignac, appointed Governor-
General of Algeria.
" On the point of separating from an army, a model
of honour and courage,. in the ranks of which I passed
the finest period of my life, I can only wish it fresh
triumphs. A new career will, perhaps, shortly open
for its valour, which, I am firmly confident, it will
gloriously accomplish.
" Officers, sub-officers, and soldiers,—l had hoped
to combat again with you for the country. That
honour is denied me ; but, from the depth of exile,
my heart will follow you wherever the national will
shall call you, and exult in your success ; my most
ardent wishes shall ever be for the glory and happi-
ness of France. " H. D'ORL LAN S."
The Duke D'AUMALE and the Prince DE JOIN.
VILLE, immediately after the publication of these do-
cuments, embarked on board the Solon steamer for
Gibraltar.
The ➢Ministers of Belgium, Denmark, and Sardinia
have signified to the Provisional Government the de-
sire entertained by their respective Sovereigns to enter
into amicable relations with the Republic. The
Belgian Ambassador, the Prince DE LIGNE, gave
satisfactory explanations to M. DE LAMARTINE as to
the causes which had induced the King of the BEL-
GIANS to call out the militia, and assured him that it
was not intended to be employed for aggressive pur-
poses, but merely to defend the neutrality of

Btlgium.
The Government of, the canton of Friburg has
sent a congi atulatory communication to the Minister
for Foreign Affairs.
The following letter has been addressed by M.

ODILON BARROT GARNIER PAGES. It is in •
teresting as showing the position taken up by the
Gauche DynastiqUe in referenee to the Republic. "
" My dear Garnier Pages,—Since the arrival of
your note, informing me of your having taken pos-
session of the Government, and calling on me to lend
my co-operation, I have not been able to reply to you.
I did not see, nor indeed do I yet very well perceive,

what kind of co-operation I, Who am- altogether un-
connected with the solution adopted, can afford you.
However, it is certainly necessary that all who do
not wish to see France destroyed by internal convul-
sions should, like good citizens, contributed their aid
for two things which appear to me to stand out pre-
dominantly in your .present mission. The first is,
that in again seizing on that liberty which ought
to belong to every Government—and which is more
necessary to ours, springing as it does from a re•
volution, than to any other, because it is neces-
sities in that respect are more imperative—you
should prevent your political revolution—as
profoundly political be it as you please—from be-
coming a social one—from any way laying its hand
on property and family ties. The second-matter. to
which I allude is, that the appeal made to the general
elections, and which is the expression of the national
sovereignty, shall be sincere. I no more admit de-
ceit and lies in the public streets than I do when
proceeding from a king ; and elections effected under
the influence of violence do not appear to me in any
way preferable to those conducted by means of cor-
ruption. Thus, therefore, what I demand is—security
for property and families, and full liberty in the pri•
mary elections. If you are firmly resolved to have
these conditions respected, even by the force at the
disposal of the Government, I can assure to you nut
only my own moral co-operation, but even the sym-
pathies of all my friends. None of them, I can de-
clare to you, would like to imitate the mistakes of
the emigrants and the Girondins. My last word to
the Chamber and to the people was this Cursed
be he who shall light up a civil war in France ! ' To
that declaration I remain faithful.
" Always your most affectionate friend,
" ODILON BARROT."

The papers of Sunday publish the following eireu,

lar, addressed by the Minister of the Interior to the
Commissioners sent by the Provisional Government
into the different departments of France :

" CIRCULAR OF THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR TO
THE COMMISSIONERS OF THE PR,:vISIONAL GOVERN-

MENT.

" The circular which has reached you, and which
has been published, traced out your duties. It is,
however, important that I enter with you into some
details, and that I state more clearly what I expect
from your patriotism, now that by your care the
Republic is proclaimed. From several departments
demands have been sent in to me, inquiring what
your powers are. The Minister of War has been in
some anxiety in what touches your relations with the
military leaders. Several amongst you desire to be
informed as to the line of conduct which you ought
to follow with respect to the law functionaries;
finally, the National Guard and the elections, par-
ticularly the latter, ought to be the object of your
constant attention.
" 1. What are your powers ?—They are unlimited.
Agent of a revolutionary authority, you are revolu-
tionary also. The victory of the people has imposed
on you the duty of getting your work proclaimed
and consolidated. For the accomplishment of that
task you are invested with its sovereignty, you take
orders from your conscience, you are to act as cir-
cumstances may demand for the public safety.
Thanks to our state of public morals, that mission is
not a very terrible one. Hitherto you have not had
to break down any serious resistance, and you have
been able to remain calm in your force ; you must
not, however, deceive yourself as to the state of the
country. Republican sentiments ought to be
strongly forwarded there, and for that purpose
all political functions must be alloted to men
sure and of republican principles. Everywhere
the prefects and sub-prefects ought to be
changed; in some localities their continuance in
office is demanded; it is your duty to make the
populations perceive that those persons who served a
power, each act of which was a corruption, cannot be
preserved. The nomination of sub-commissioners to
replace those functionaries belongs to you; and you
can refer to me whenever you feel any hesitation.
Choose in preference men belonging to the chief
town; you are not to take men in the arrondissement
itself; unless you know them to be perfectly free
from all spirit sf coterie; do not set young men
aside, as ardour and generosity are the privilege of
that age, and the Republic has need of those fine
qualities. You must also provide for thca replacement
of mayors and their deputies. You will appoint
them provisionally, investing them with the ordinary
power. If the municipal councils are hostile, you
will dissolve them, and, in concert with the mayors,
you will nominate a provisional municipality ; but
you will not have recourse to that measure except in
cases of rigorous necessity. lam of opinion that the
great majority of the municipal councils may be pre-
served, by plachig at their head new leaeers.
"2. Your relations with the officers in command of
the troops.—You are exercising the powers of the
executive authority, so that the armed force is under
your orders. You can call it out, and put it in move-
ment; you can even in grave cases suspend a com-
manding officer, deferring the case immediately to
me. But you ought to show the greatest caution,
in this part of your functions.. All that on your
part might offend the just susceptibility of the officers
or soldiers would be an inexcusable fault. I under-
stand that in several departments, the commissioners
have not at once - established a bond between
them and the military authorities. I am astonished
