La Liberia announces as official that Count
D'ArPONY, the Austrian Ambassador, is about to quit
Paris for Vienna. He is to be followed by all the
other members of the embassy. The Austrian Go-
vernment has no'; yet acknowledged the French Re-
public. The aff4irs of the Austrian embassy era to
be conducted by. Baron DE THoM, a diplomatist well
known and universally re-peered.

No. 23 of the' Bulletin de la Republique of the
Ministry of the Interior, dated the 2d, was published
yesterday. It is as follows:

" Disturbances ever to be regretted have broken out
at Rouen, and at a few other towns, arising from the
elections. These slight shocks, although deeply
to be lamented, ought not to surprise us after
the po'Nerful commotion into which France and
Europe have been thrown. Nothing more need
be seen in those momentary troubles than the
results of the • errors of a few individuals, or of
certain difficulties almost inevitably attendant upon the
'sudden and urgent application of institutions, the me-
chanisin of which has never before been brought into
action amongst us. Every vessel, however well trimmed
she may be, leaves the waters in her wake in a state of
:agitation. Let us not exaggerate the importance of acts,
dep!orable as they are, which are easily explained by
the complication inseparable from a state of things en-
tirely without precedent. Let us not find in these mci
dents the indication of schisms which will never again
arise aMougst us. Never forget, citizens, that great,
that evangelical motto of fraternity inscribed on our
banners and .on the fronts of our public monuments.
Ever remember that fraternity means union, charity,
tolerance, concileiation, confide ece, esteem, and reciprocal
irdulgence. LA us, then, have faith in the strength of
the institutions which' the people have gained at
the price of their blood, and that the trials which
we may yet have to undergo wid only render them more
firm by the sanction of time and experience. Believe
that. our revolution will never recoil, will never even
make a pause, before it his fulfilled all its promises, before
hoes ameliorated the lot of the masses for whose benefit
it has been mid,. God, in hi4;;Oisdom and extreme
bounty has not willed that thereilia.l be here below any
elected or rejected; arid every society which, being en
,dowed a ith the principles which France has so often pro-
,claimed and sealed with ner blood, sh,,uld again attempt
to concentrate within a narrow privileged circle the well-
'being and enjoyments of life, would become impossible.
All the G. .vernments which have succeeded each
ether in France since 1789 have promised to en-
sure the tutors good .of the woikmen, and to
increase the general welfare, by reducing the charges
upon the people. No one has been willing or ablelw
keep this promise. Let us hope that for this repub t,
f node upon the bread and qui'able basis of universal
saffrage, het is to say, the Go by ac
vernm.nt of all,all
and for all, is reserved the imperishable glory of raining
the m-ans for creating a state of universal pr,sperity.
Let there he no discriie-ude, no inisttust; let us enter-
tain no doubts of . (ass lees or of tur cause. All Cie
d..mocrarie cone queeces of the revolution of February
are from this rim- t,tith assured to us. Insanity alone
can ever concelvt, the rain notion of a resting them
from us. Let Its r. ly upon the National Assembly

people. and penetrated with the source from which
it eawn-ites. it will not misunderstand when it erects
the be./ reoresAitative cott>tifution destined to serve
as the basis for the future grandeur and prosperity of
France !"

The Ate/iPr, the special organ of the working
classes, contains the following article addressed to the

revolutioni,ts
