I'Ve read in the Courrier de Lyon of Sunday—

"The reign of the Voraces is pissed. Yesterday it
was announced to this totally illegitimate corps that its
services would henceforth be dispensed with. At three
o'clock the Colonel of the Garde Mobile, having drawn
up his men in the court-yard of the Prefecture, in front

there should be an immediate end to the mission they
had taken upon themselves.
was made, the Voraces retired from the Prefecture to
the Hotel de Ville to join their comrades, who were on
guard there, and had in like manner been disbanded.
They then took their way together towards the Croix
Rousse. According to the reports in circulation, they
sent out emissaries in all directions to assemble parti-
sans, and will meet to day at Vaisse. It is believed that
they ate preparing
for a'detnonstration to be blade to-
morrow. Last night the Voraces made some attempts
to raise barricades at the Croix Rousse, but this was
everywhere strongly opposed by the workmen, and at
several points conflicts ensued. In fact, the endeavour
to excite an insurrection was without any success.

Mr. Rusu, the Minister of the United States, on
Monday presented the following address to the five
members of the Executive Government at the Petit-
Luxemb)urg

the 13th of April,
" I have the honour to present to your Excellencies a
resolution of the senate and House of Representatives
of the United States in Congress assembled, passed on
tenderin in the name and behalf
of the American people, the congratulations of Congress
to the people of France upon the success of their recent
~
efforts to consolidate the principles of liberty in a re-
publican form of government.'
" The resolution has the sanction of the President of
the United States, in the form prescribed by their con-
stitution: and I, as their Minister Plenipotentiary, have
been instructed, under a clause of the resolution, to pre-
sent it.

"In fulfilling this trust, I am charged by the Presi-
dent to say that these congratulations of the Legislative
and Executive departments of the Government do but
reflect the general feeling of the people of the United
States, who never can review with indifference the pro-
gress of civil liberty in any part of the world, and
least of all in the great nation ever associated with their
own freedom and independence.
"The President, beholding with admiration the spirit
of order and peace which reigned as soon as the late re-
volution in France was achieved, has the anxious hope
that the same spirit may continue. With the deepest soli-
citude for the welfare of France, he hopes that she may be
blessed with internal tranquillity, whilst occupied in the
greatwork of building up her new institutions of goverment,
and be spared the niis,)ries of foreign war. He believes
that those institutions, calmly constructed with the heat
wisdom of France, will thus have auspicious opportu-
nitiesconaina tio)dbtehesome

go as to
secure to
France a long career of prosperity and happiness.
Then she will triumph most gloriously, because most du-
rably, in the eyes of other nations, by the influence
of her own great example. The people of the United
States, whose birthright was freedom, required time and
peace after their revolution, successfully to found and
oven,
consolidate their system of g.. °lent; republican in
form, popular in essence, and stable from the elements
of order combined and inherent in its structure, its effi-
ciency, like its durability, as been owing to its salutary
checks upon power.
"'These are the sentiments, these the ardent hope
cherished towards France by the President ; who
speaks, under this solemn resolution of Congress, in
the mime of the whole American People, and in the
spirit of their ancient attachment to their renowned and
generous ally in the days of Washington. I am honoured
in being the medium of i-mpartin
K them. Most
especially am I alive to this honour at a time when the
whole French people, convoked in their
representative
majesty in the IC ational Assembl •3, are in deliberation to
found their new Constitution, under all the highest mo-
lives to exalt in man the sense of duty to the age exist-.
ing, and ages to come-
