torch of civil war were lighted in their unhappy
land. Not all the prestige attachable to parties
under prosecution by an ex- officio information,
sufficed to render the woulci- be martyrs po-
pular, or to obtain for them the slightest
appearance of sympathy or condolence. The
people might, however, have been satisfied with
testifying their disapprobation by groans and hisses,
and other expressions of contempt and disgust, but
their passions were excited to the utmost by the pre-
sence of the calumniator of the deceased Liberator—
the man who furnished the most modern illustration
of the fable of the living ass and the dead lion—the
war editor of the United Irishman. The disturbance
commenced immediately on the arrival of Messrs.
MITCHELL and MEAGHER in Limerick. It was with
great difficulty that they succeeded in getting
to the hotel at which they intended to re-
side during their sojourn in the town ; pistols
and daggers were produced before they could
make their way through the assembled multitudes,
who received them with hootings and execrations.
It was then seriously debated by the Confederates
whether the then intended banquet should take place.
The more discreet recommended an adjournment
sine die, believing that in the face of so unequivocal
a demonstration great disturbance would be the
necessary result of an unwise perseverance; pru-
dence, however, is not the characteristic of the Young
Irelanders, and it was accordingly resolved (by a
very small majority) that the soirée should take place
despite of every opposition. They were, however,
speedily convinced of the folly and recklessness of
their conduct. The proceedings had scarcely com-
menced when the anticipated riot broke out. The
mob paraded through the town, carrying with them
a burning tar barrel on which was placed an
effigy of Mr. MITCHELL. This was brought
so near the premises where the Confederates
were banquetting, that they speedily became ignited
and the greatest consternation prevailed. This, how-
ever, was not all—the windows and doors were
demolished, and stones and missiles hurled in through
the dilapidated sashes. In the meantime the Con-
federates were not disposed to yield an easy victory—
seats and forms were turn up, and converted into
weapons of offence and defence. The " Queen of
Weapons" was put in requisition on behalf of its
laureate, guns and other firearms were resorted to,
and several shots fired on either side. At length the
police and military came to the rescue, but not until
much damage had been inflicted on the belligerents
—cut heads, black eyes, and bruises and contusions
were displayed on every side. The illustrious '
" Martyr of the Cellar" was one of the chief suf-
ferers ; he is said to have had one of his ribs broken,
his head severely hurt, while his frontispiece was dis-
figured by a most undeniable black eye, which was
painfully conspicuous on his appearance in the Court
of Queen's Bench on Monday. It was not until the
police were strengthened by detachments of horse,
foot, and artillery, that the rioters were dispersed,
and the flatees extinguished. Even then the reckless
and infatuated party were not contented—they would
have continued their meeting, breathing their
seditious defiances of, and fulminating their
puny threats against, the authorities, and dis-
claiming the British connexion while under
the protection of British guns and British
bayonets; but they were speedily called to a sense of
their position. The High Sheriff was resolved that
he would not be made the sport of the sedition-
mongers. He announced that if the assemblage did
not immediately disperse, the military and police
would be withdrawn, and they would be left to the
tender mercies of the infuriated multitude. Then,
indeed, consternation reigned supreme. Satire qua
peut became the order of the day, and the three
valorous advocates of physical force, the clamourers
for an armed multitude, betook themselves to flight
with all convenient dispatch. Mr. AITCHELL himself
was forced to admit that " discretion is the better
part of valour," and he gave his unconditional adhe-
sion to the truth of the couplet—
" The man who fights and runs away,
W ill lire to fight another day;
But he who as in battle slain
Will never live to fight again."
He, therefore, sought the friendly shelter of his
hotel ; and having, with difficulty, succeeded in
attaining its hospitable walls, along with his confrere,
the redoubted MEAGHER, with no worse consequences
than a few kicks and cuffs, and an inordinate quan •
tity of groaning, they succeeded in inducing the
landlord, who, unfortunately, was much injur, d
by a blow of a stone on the head (in-
tended for Mr. MITCHELL), to make provision for
their flight. Tile mail coach for Cork was (contrary
to the usual custom) packed, and the horses attached
in the hotel yard, the gate of which, being kept
barred and closed prevented the approach of the
people, was suddenly thrown open when all was
ready, and the discomfited heroes, having ensconced
themselves in the interior of the vehicle, they were
whirled off as rapidly as four horses could bear them
to another locality. In the meantime, the store in
which the banquet was to have taken place was com-
pletely dismantled, and the appendages of the feast
smashed and broken by the indignant crowd.
We trust that this rough lesson will not be lost
upon the parties, but that they may at length be
awakened to a sense of the folly and the
wickedness of their conduct. Mr. SMITH
O'BRIEN has stated his intention of resigning
the representation of the county, and has left an
address to his constituents, announcing his reasons
for such a step. If this is preparatory to his aban-
doning the course he has recently pursued, and re•
tiring into private life, we shall gladly hail those
indications of returning sense, and give him the full
benefit of his tardy repentance. We shall anxiously
lock for this address, and also for the next publics
tion of the United Irishman, that may be printed
without being exposed to the censorship of a lawyer.
Until their appearance the real feelings of the parties
cannot be known. Mr. MITCHELL has again resorted
to a dilatory plea to the information exhibited against
him ; this would seem to indicate that he is not now
quite so anxious to precipitate the crisis as he pro-
fessed himself to be a short time since. Time, how-
ever, will tell, and we must patiently bide the course

M. LEDRU ROLLIN is by no means disappointed o
the results of the recent French elections. M. LEDRU
ROLLIN is in no degree jealous of the honour which
all France has combined to shower upon the head of
M. LAMARTINB, and the acclamations with which all
Europe has resounded in honour of that illustrious
man. Neither is M. Lignitll ROLLIN in anywise in-
dignant at the universal opprobrium which has been
heaped upon himself, nor is he grieved by finding
the name of the Minister of the Interior so very low
in the list of the representatives of Paris. So far
from being humbled or disappointed by the signal
failure of his plans, M. LZDRII Roudis has found in
that very failure a source of censolation which does
credit to his ingenuity. Ile has discovered that
the indifference of his countrymen and the detestation
of foreigners, that all the indignant upbraidings and
determined opposition which have greeted him since
he avowed himself an advocate of physical force, are
in fact only so many attes'ationsof his genius—
are in fact only so many marks

bulletin, whether official or not we are not informed,
which commences with the following sentence from

the modesty and magnanimity of the disappointed
patriot who considers it applicableie to hyiomus,e2fsa:

best fruit that insects seek without ceasinge and with
avidity. Yes, it is the citizens who have best served
the holy cause of liberty and democracy, who are
exposed to the most cruel and bitter attacks:'
We are much indebted to M. LEDRU RoLLIN for
this application of the saying of the German philo-
sopher—!"l application which, without his disinter-
ested assistance, neither we, nor most probably the
majority of the French people, would ever have
Inamed of. Now, however, our eyes are °Poled.
For the future we laall -;.<3 oniblecl to reocipliaa in

every attack upon the character of M. LEDRU
ROLLIN, and in every animadversion upon the
conduct of the Minister of the Interior, only
another attestation of his extraordinary merits—
only the sting of the wasp, evidencing the goodness
of the fruit. On such occasions, namely, when
LEDRU ROLLIN becomes the subject of fresh censure,
" the people," so he concludes his bulletin, " will
smile with contempt and pity, for they know the
real value of the fruit and the wasps who attack it."
Sueh is the modest assurance which now gives con-
solation to the disaffected ambition of LEDRU ROLLIN.
It would be hardly fair, perhaps, to turn his own
weapons against himself—" I thank thee, Jew, for
teaching me that word "—and to apply his allegorical
illustration in a different way. It would, per,
haps, be hardly fair to compare LEDRU•ROLLIN
himself to the wasp he speaks of, and the " good
fruit" he preys upon to the well-earned laurels of his
more popular colleague. Whether unfair or not, such
a comparison is unnecessary. Let the Minister of
the Interior have the full benefit of his iniquity, let
him employ his leisure in composing bulletins, and
let him find consolation by crediting the suggestions
of vanity. Happily for France, he has only that
source of consolation left him. Happily for France,
no majority in the Assembly, or in the country, will
bear witness to his merits—their only attestation
must be the disapprobation which they encounter.
Lucus a non lucendo must henceforth be the motto of
M. LEDRU ROLLIN.

SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 27th ult.

General RAFAEL LION had accompanied the Duke
and Duchess DE MONTPENSIER in their journey
through Andalusia from Aranjuez to Cordova and
Seville.

1 hostile meeting was considered likely to take
place between M. BORRIGO, former editor of the
Espanol, and one of the directors of La Espana. The
Moderado journal, El Faro, was to cease to appear
on the Ist of May. The number of the Eco del
Comercio of the 26th was seized by order of the po-
litical chief.

The Three per Cents. were done at 311 for paper ;
the Five per Cents. at 131 ; the Debt without In-
terest at 5 ; and the Coupons at 9.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
As Thursday (to-morrow) is the day definitively
fixed for the first meeting of the National Assembly,
the duty has devolved upon the Provisional Govern-
ment of providing for the regularity of the inaugu-
rative ceremonies. The subjoined decree has conse-
quently been published regulating the manner in
which the preliminary proceedings will be conducted
for the purpose of consolidating the institution of the
Republic, of pronouncing the legality of the new re-
presentation, and of proclaiming the formal constitu-
tion of the Assembly. The decree is partitioned into
twenty-five articles, as follows :

" FRENCH REPUBLIC.
" LIBERTY-EQUALITT-YRATEANITY.
" In the name of the French people, the PrQvisiona'
Government decrees:— . .

" Art. 14. In this purpose the President will draw by

place his bulletin in the urn on the tribune, and the
ball in another urn on the bureau of the secretaries.
" Art. 15. The 'ecretaries will ascertain the number
of bulletins, and check this number by the balls. The)

ment will then ask to be beard. He will, in a speech
give an account of the situation of the state on the 24th

representatives of the people the powers which the ac
clamations of the people had conferred on it.
" A rt. 25. Each minister will give an account of the
e le it
o called
equality acts of his ministry up to the day of the meeting of the
Assembly."
Another decree in reference to the formalities of the
new Republican Legislature appeared in the Afoniteur
of Monday, and excited considerable ridicule among
those who are particularly disposed to be captious.
It is regulative of the costume of the representatives.
We n
citizens givei
" The Provisional Government, considering that the
titoythime pealimeseufnuinfcotrimonitsy, odfeccropsetsu:teTfhore
principle
representatives of the people shall wear a black coat, a
white waistcoat with lappets, and a tricoloured sash with
gold fringe. They shall also wear in the button-hole on
the left side a red ribbon, in which shall be worked the
fasces of the Republic."
Some of the journals attempt to be especially face-
tious upon this very innocent proclamation. The
Presse, of course, is among the jokers. It inquires, in
a tone of mock commiseration, what on earth is to
be done by the Bishop of QUIMrER, the newly
elected Deputy for Finisterre ? It asks if the un-
fortunate prelate is to throw aside his cassock and
appear in the garb of Rosurizaait—forgetting
for the moment possibly that the coat of Rol:lim-
p/Ems was alternately sky-blue and blood-colour
blazing with steel buttons. " Alas !" exclaims the
Journal des Debats, in a similar vein of irony, « we
dresses or in uniform. There

Was no end in those days to the sarcasms at the re-

sycophants of the powers than in existence, were the
first to laugh at it. We are not quite sure that we
can do so as freely at the present day. The Court of
to-day does not like laughing. Nevertheless, we
shall be curious to see certain representatives—Father
LACORDAIRE, for instance, with his shaven head and
Dominican crown, replacing his white robes for a
black coat, a white waistcoat with lappels, and a tri-
coloured sash, ornamented with a golden fringe en
grainer d epinards. What would the citizen MURAT
say, if he returned to life, and found himself deprived
of his immortal cap? But let us be serious. It is
not a change in pantaloons, or in the name of streets,
that changes society. The people have more sense
than you seem to think. The proverb says that from
the sublime to the ridiculous there is but one step.
"w
re are
are
arevery willing to believe that you are sublime,
but truly sorry to say that you have taken the
other step."
In another paragraph the Debats declares that the
Provisional Government might with equal propriety
have ordained that the members of the National
Assembly should appear in a state of nudity because
man was so made by the Divinity, or in the
picturesque blouse of the handicraftsman because the
Deputies are the chosen of the ouvriers. To award
due importance to these absurd and petulant ob-
jections to the decent uniformity of the representa-
tive costume, we must pronounce them at once—
contemptible. If the Provisional Government has
given no more serious cause for dissatisfaction, it has
merited the reverence and admiration of the citizens.
A decree of rather more significance appeared in
the Moniteur of yesterday, a decree which shows
that the Provisional Ministers are eminently entitled
to this reverence and admiration—not alone from the
population of France, but of entire Christendom.
It pronounces in the most absolute language the
total and permanent abolition of slavery in all parts
of the Republic. This noble and admirable document
is subjoined :
" In the name of the French People :
" The Provisional Government, considering that sla-
very is an attack upon the dignity of man; that in de
stroying the tree choice of man it suppresses the nature'
principle of right and duty; that it is a flagrant violation
of the Republican doctrine—" Liberty, Equality, Fra-
ternity." Considering that if effective measures should
not speedily follow the proclamation already made of
the principle of abolition, deplorable disorders in the
colonies might he the result, decrees—
" Art. l. slavery will be entirely abolished in all the
colonies and possessions of France, two months after the
promulgation of the present decree in each of them.
From the date of the promulgation of the present decree
in the colonies, all corporal punishment, and all sales of
persons not free, shall be absolutely interdicted.
" Art. 2. The system of engagement, for a time esta-
blished in Senegal, is suppressed.
" Art. 3. The Governors and Commissaries-General
of the Republic are charged to apply the whole of the
measures required to ensure liberty at Martinique.
Guadeloupe, and its dependencies. The island of the
Reunion (Bourbon), Guiana, Senegal, and other French
establishments on the west coast of Africa, the island of
Mayotte and its dependencies, and Algeria.
" Art. 4. All old slaves condemned to affliction and
correctional punishments for crimes which, in free men,
would not have been punished, are amnestied.
"Art. 5. The National Assembly will regulate the
amount of indemnity to be given to the colonists.
" Art. 6. The colonies purified from slavery and the
Indian possessions shall be represented in the National
Assembly.
" Art. 7. The principle that the soil of France frees
the slave who touches it is applied to the colonies and
possessions of the Republic.
"Art. 8. For the future, even in foreign countries,
every Frenchman is forbidden to possess, to purchase, or
to sell slaves, or to participate, either directly or indi-
rectly, in any traffic or business of the kind. Every
infraction of these rules will lead to the loss of the
quality of the French citizen. Nevertheless, French-
men who are affected by these prohibition at the moment
of the promulgation of the present decree, will have a
delay of three years to conform to them.. Those who
may become possessors of slaves in foreign countries by
inheritance, gift, or marriage, must, under the same
penalty, set them free, or alienate them within the same
period, from the day that their possession may commence.
" Art. 9. The Ministers of Marine, Colonies, and War
are charged with the execution of the present decree.
" Done at Paris, in Council of Government, the 27th
April, 1848.
" Signed by the Members of the Provisional Govern-
ment."
The Ultras are, as a matter of course, half delirious
at the victorious majority of the moderate Repub-
licans in the general elections of the capital and the
departments. 14 EDRU Roa.LIN does not disguise his
chagrin in the Reforme.
" A little patience," says that journal; " our eternal
enemies will not have patience if we have. Look at
them coming with their pry positions for two Chambers
—the suffrage a deux degres ; financial laws favourable
to last e property and stock jobbing. Look at them
crying out communism, when the proportionable pro
perty-tax is mentimed.
" All partial insurrection is at this moment a crime
and a fault ; a crime, for it causes the purest blood to
flow uselessly ; a fault, for it retards the definitive esta•
blishment of the Republic egalitaire et fraternede."
Through that sombre passage it is impossible not
to detect the after-thought of civil war.
The ominous manifesto of the Societe des Droits de
&mute et du Citoyen--placarded so recently upon all
the walls of Paris—has been every where torn down.
With the indignant voice of the Reforme are heard
also those of the Commune de Paris, the Courrier
Francais, the Vraie Liberty, and the Ami du Peuple.
Even the National is beginning to grumble at what
it calls the reactionary movement. Speaking of the
rejection of M. TRIERS, the Constitutionnel ob-

serves
The universal order was issued—any candidate
whatever rather than M. Thiers! Dismissals, calutnnies'
manoeuvres of all sorts, violence, nothing was left un
done; not only were lists with M. Thier.'s name torn from
the country people, but the octroi men searched for them
as if for contraband goods; and the town of Aix was
threatened with the loss of its court of appeal, and all
this was done by orders from Paris. The rector of the
M. Dufolipires, was dismissed by M.
supported M. Thiers."

already mentioned as among the representatives re-
turned by the departments, the name of the Bishop of
LANGRES must also be enumerated. The Republican
deputy for Aveyron turns out to be the brother of the
Archbishop of PARIS, and not the metropolitan him-
self.
Additional accounts have been received from the
disturbed cities of the departments, accounts which,
while they confirm the reports of the restoration of
tranquillity to Rouen, corroborate the rumours of
emeutes at Limoges, at Lyons, and at Nantes. On
Friday and Saturday all the bridges on the Rouen
Railway were occupied by the (garde Nationale
Mobile. Private letters from Limoges, of the 27th,
tell of serious collisions in that direction. Of these
proceedings the Presse says :
The disturbances at Limoges have beea very serious.
The names of the deputies could not be proclaimed. The
candidates of the moderate party, MM. Maurat-Ballange
and C. Teste, were obliged to leave the town. The
National Guards of St. Jullien, Bellac, and other neigh-
bouring cantons, were on their march for Limoges.
Orders were given for two squadrons of cavalry to repair
thither also. It is stated that M. Pierre Leroux is
inst.lled at the prefecture, with some hundreds of
workmen."
According
meat had to the Paine the Provisional Govern-
dispatched a special commissary to
ous inces on
Limoges, for the purpose of effecting its pacification.
At Nantes there wereevery seri
emeute, whic dhstur combamenced
the 27th ultimo. Th
with the marching of a column of 1,200 men through
the principal streets, singing the songs of the Revo-
lution, excited but little trepidation. After sacking
the house of the Curb of Saint ratNicho with cries of—
" A bas FoustruEß—a bas la Cure —the mob were
dispersed through the intervention of a commissary of
police, and several of the rioters were arrested.
The fusion of the depatmental banks with the
Bank of France is completer, and the latter has accord-
ingly issued a notice that it will discount bills in
Lille, Rouen,• Havre, Toulouse, Marseilles, Lyons,
and Orleans, and receive the notes of the banks of
these loans.

however, managed to escape the vigilance of the
rroops, reached the city, and caused here a great ex •
•iternent. Immediately a deputation, composed
three members of the Polish committee established
here, went to M. KRIEG to demand the recal of his
order. At the same time nearly the whole of the
emigrants, followed by a mass of the population,
proceeded to the hotel of the Commissary ZuN-
GRENAL. The two sentinels posted at the door, and
the soldiers at the neighbouring post, retreated to
the castle, and the crowd penetrated into the salon of
M. KRIEG, and forced him to go to the hotel where
the Polish committee sits. lie was joined by General
CASTIGLIONE, commandant of the troops. Both of
them gave a written order to allow the emigrants to
pass, and abolished all measures taken to prevent the
sending of arms to furnish the National Guard,
assuring them that they had none themselves at the
castle to furnish to the committee.
The Austrian troops are augmenting in number
more and more in the vicinity of Cracow. A corps of
80,000 men is concentrating itself in Gallicia under
the command of General VINDISCHGRALTZ ; but
there are many who remain still uncertain if this
army is intended to commence hostilities against the
toles or against the Russians.
