vigorously as they can grasp the fasce► of repub-
licanism.

But, unless the Northern Powers coaleseerin a tri-
partite alliance, and adventure themselves upon a
campaign agaipst their neighbours, we see no proba-
bility whatever of' an outbreak among the Euro-
pean dominions. If the torch of {war again fire the
population of the continent, it will have been ignited
by the combustible jealousies of tyranny.
Peace is essential to Europe ; and this fact is very
easily demonstrable.
ENGLAND REQUIRES PEACE, for the better main-
tenance of tranquillity throughout the United King-
dom ; for the conservation of order in Ireland ; for
the calm deliberation of many social and political re-
forms, of an internal character, which are become
absolutely necessary ; for the recovery of that corn-
mercial activity which has been recently
deteriorated by panic, pestilence, and privation ;
and especially for the prevention of any
additional increase to a National Debt, which
presses upon her energies like an incubus, and which
was accumulated to the enormous sum of 800,000,000/.
sterling principally through her taking part in the hos-
.

tilities of the continental nations. Besides these, there
are many additional motives which would impel
England to preserve the peace of the world by
every imaginable expedient; among others, there is
the popular thirst for education ; there is the exigency
of a sanitary innovation ; there is the necessity of
leisure for the better improvement of the laws, and
particularly for the organization of the Penal Code,
and the remodelling of the different currency enact-
ments. Everything clamours for the maintenance
of peace in these islands. There is a growing dislike
to taxation, and an increasing deficiency in the reve-
nues; there was an appropriation of 10,000,0001. in
the last two years to the starving peasantry of Ire-
land, and that peasantry still continues in a frightful
state of destitution : our colonies are at the same time
becoming troublesome, and the responsibilities entailed
upon us by the vastness of our Indian empire are
more than ever onerous. Of all periods in our his-
tory, therefore, this would be the very one in which
war would be the most unpopular.
FRANCE REQUIRES PEACE! It requires peace for
the consolidation of that republican form of govern-
ment which (notwithstanding the experience of the
interval between 1791 and 1800) i 3 still a novelty.
It requires peace, because the preservation of its sway
in Algeria is sufficient occupation for its armies. It
requires peace, because its aspiration is to become the
Beacon of Liberty. The prestige of conquest, the
glory of heroism, the magnificence of imperial autho-
rity are no longer essential to it. On the original
foundation of a Republic by the Parisians, these
were acquired in an abundance, and Here in-
vested with a lustre so remarkable, as to render
the French for ever memorable among the
most extraordinary races of the globe. What France
wants now is time for the re-organization of its legis-
lature and the perfect development of its internal
resources. Therefore France would be naturally in-
mical to the idea of warfare.

BELGIUM REQUIRES PEACE, because peace can
alone enable the constitutional sovereignty of LEO.'
roLD to survive the contagion of republicanism conse-
quent upon its contiguity to France. Already it
would appear that the KING has recognised
this inevitable circumstance, and has, in conse-
quence, intimated to his ministerial advisers
his readiness to concede to any suggestion
which they may deem advantageous for the coun-
try. With this assurance of comprehensive reforms,
the Belgians would be insane to commit their
destinies to the perils of a general conflict.
ITALY REQUIRES PEACE perhaps more than any
other portion of the continent ; it is only now
beginning to recover, in some measure from the
oppressive influence of centuries of despotism.
Great, and almost miraculous, as its progress
towards liberation has been, the rights of its people
are still in embryo ; a lapse of years is requisite to
enable the leaves to germinate, and the fruits to
ripen. Rome under Plus, Turin under CHARLES
ALBERT, Florence under LEOPOLD, Naples under
FERDINAND, all yearn for that safety from invasion
or assault which can alone secure to their citizens the
happiness of a well-digested constitution.
Of the pacific tendencies of the other European
nations we shall speak hereafter.

To say that the day-dreams of philanthropy are
approaching their realisation—that the reign of uni-
versal amity has commenced—that we are entering
on that glorious Utopia long since prophesied by the
poet—

" When man to man, the world o'er,
Shall brothers be, and a' that,"
would perhaps be somewhat premature. Nevertheless,
it is certain that never before were the hearts of na-
tions animated with such sympathetic sentiments
as stir them now ; never before did the doings of each
individual people awaken such earnest and anxious
interest in all the rest. More especially is this evi-
denced b? the breathless eagerness and heartfelt
sympathy with which those nations who have hardly
won their own liberties and asserted their own rights
watch the struggles and rejoice in the successes of
those inspired by a similar ambition and toiling for
the same glorious goal. For example, how greatly
has the interest and even enthusiasm of our own
countrymen been excited by recent events which have
transpired throughout Europe. When FREDERICK
WILLIAM bestowed a Constitution upon the Prussians,
the people of England exulted as though they them-
selves had obtained.another,reform When Pius stood
forth as the avowed champion of liberty and the
foe to tyranny and abuses, religious animosities
were forgotten, even prejudice stood aside and
Protestant England hailed the Reforming POPE.
But it is France, emancipated France, that has aroused
our most heartfelt enthusiasm and elicited our warmest
sympathies. For some time past her retrograde policy
has filled us with astonishment and indignation.
When we saw the Citizen Xing following in the steps
of the most legitimate of tyrants, our only marvel
was how long such a state of things could endure—
" Quousque tandem, Catalina, abutere patientia nostrar
We are answered—it is over—and heartily do we
rejoice. We rejoice in the glorious enfranchisement
of a great people, we rejoice in the glorious assertion
of a great principle. We cannot rejoice over the fallen,
but neither can we fail to recognise in that fall a most
just and terrible retribution. A very brief period
has elapsed since the, tears of ISABELLA, wronged
as a Queen and insulted as a woman, thrilled our
hearts with horror and indignation. How speedily,and
how awfully has her agony been expiated! Those
midnight tears have been responded to by floods of grief
from the wife and the daughters of him who caused
them. In answer to the insults he heaped upon her
throne, his own has become tenantless, and been made
the sport and, mockery of his people. Can we fail to
recognise in all this an awful and appalling retribution?
Yet there are other and nobler sentiments with which
the French Revolution should fill us. We must not
only sympathise with—we must emulate the glorious
spirit by which it was inspired. We must not only
regard its retributive justice as a warning to kings—
we must make its achievements a reason and example
to ourselves. Not, be it understood, that we would
imitate the doings of the Parisians, by destroying
railways or fighting pitched battles in the streets. Be
it ours rather to emulate their spirit and endeavour
to share in the results of their glorious achievements.
F i or this no servile imitation is required. Hitherto
n their revolutions the French seemed to have
copied us. The corresponding dynastic changes of

deed, is almost marvellous. The characters and for-
tunes of CHARLES I. and Louis XVI., their violent
deaths, the subsequent government of their respective
kingdoms by Caomwei.h and Naror.eoN, both
successful soldiers, sagacious rulers, and men
of amazing ability, different though they
were in other respects—the temporal resto-
ration of the STVART and BOURBON families,
in the persons of CHARLES 11. and Louis XVIII.—
' each of these Kings being succeeded on the throne
by his brother, JAMES 11. and CHARLES X., and in
both instances the brother being expelled and the
' crown bestowed on another branch of the same
family, in the persons of WILLIAM 111. and Louis
Paieure—in every particular the similarity is most
singular. But the resemblance goes no further; the
present Revolution is unparelleled. It had no need
to look back for a pattern—it has nothing to do with
, the past. " It is not," exclaims its eloquent and

energetic Statesman, " it is not a retrograde but an
advancing movement." It required no precedent,
and it has no parallel. It commenced its existence
by a glorious innovation of established ideas.
It is said that every great revolution, that every
great popular movement, must be baptised with a
" baptism of blood." But, in sublime defiance of such
a doctrine, it was by uniting with the names of
" Liberty" and " Equality" the loving word " Fra-
ternity," that the young Republic " invoked upon its
cradle the blessings of GOD and man." We have
said that with the accession of Louis PHILIPPE and
Wir.riam 111. the resemblance of English and French
history is at end ; yet W 3 might begin the analogy at
another epoch, and show that the two nations have
not only been in similar positions since, but are in a
similar position now. In 1830, Louis PHILIPPE and
WILLIAM IV.—the " Citizen King" and the " Re-
former" ascended the thrones of France and Eng-
land. In each country Liberal feelings were
agitating the minds of the multitude, in
each county Liberal principles were predominant.
In England they have slowly and surely progressed
and prospered ever since. It is hardly necessary to
search the pages of " Hansard" for a record of the
glorious achievements of these eighteen years. It
has been an arduous, in many instances a most
arduous struggle, but it has been a triumphant one.
It is not over yet, let us remember; it is not over yet:
we must not abate our energy, we must not weary in
our labours, we have progressed, and we are pro-
gressing, that is all. France has acted differently ;
after electing a Chartist KING, and proposing most li-
beral institutions, she withdrew from her labours, she
suffered the King to undo all the people had done. Yet
the liberal feelings of the people, the great (prin-
ciples which had animated them formerly, were
not dormant, nor were they forgotten. They ac-
quired increased vigour in secret, and have now
made themselves manifest. In three days they
have won back all they had lost in eighteen
years, and more. They have acquired more power,
more glory, than they ever possessed before. The
result of their long apathy and sudden resolution,
and of our long and persevering exertions, are nearly
the same. At this moment England and France
are peaceful and prosperous, and the
people of each country powerful and free.

In both countries there is without doubt much evil
to ameliorate and much good to achieve—a hard
struggle to endure and a great victory to gain, ;but
in each country the people have only to resolve and

it is done. What does it matter if the one nation be
called a Republic and the other a Monarchy, the time
is passed when a name was a tower of strength.
Republicans and Monarchists may debate upon the
merits of their respective governments ; for us the
best government is that which ensures " the greatest
good of the greatest number," and whether the head
of that government be "La Raison," as LA-.
MARTINE has it, or her Gracious Majesty Queen
VICTORIA, we have no doubt that the glorious prin-
ciples of " Liberty" and " Fraternity" may be
gloriously and completely carried out if the people
will it. While we leave to the young Republic—
" The young and strong Republic that shall fill the
world with fame"—

the hazardous task of introducing these great inno-
vations which, according to LAMARTINE, only a re-
public can carry out, let us emulate its spirit and
share in its reward by pursuing a steady and pro-
gressive course of reform and social regeneration,
such as we have already successfully commenced—let
us, too, make a step not " en arriere," but "en avant."

The Frankfort Gazette of the sth inst., contains
the following statement :
" We learn that at the last sitting of the Diet the
measures necessary for placing the frontiers of the
confederation in a state of adequate defence were dis-
cussed. It was determined-1. To intrust to
Prussia, Bavaria, Wurtemberg, Baden, and the
Grand Duchy of Hesse the guard of the western
frontier. 2. To call upon Prussia, Austria, Bavaria,
Wurtemberg, and Baden to maintain the garrisons in
the fortresses of Mayence, Luxemburgh, Landeau,
Ulm, and Rastadt, according to their federal duties.
3. To request of Prussia, Bavaria, and Baden, as
the neighbouring states, to give notice to the Diet
of any symptoms of attack from abroad. 4. To in
vite all the Governments of the confederation to send
the amount of their contributions now due to the
Federal Treasury."
The Suabian Mercury publishes the following letter,
dated Stuttgard, 2d instant :

" There was a numerous assembly of citizens held here
this day, at which a petition to the King was voted,
praying him to grant a constitution conformable to the
spirit of the age. Two thousand signatures were pre-
fixed to the petition. At this meeting it was said that
the Sovereigns and people throughout Germany should
join to contend in common against the Colossus of the
north and against the pretensions of France."

The Cologne Gazette of the sth inst. publishes the
*ollovving letter, dated Berlin, instant :

" On the 28th instant the Council of Ministers re-
solved to set in motion the 4th, 7th, and Bth corps, but
this resolution has been rescinded, and an order has
been dispatched to the generals, commanding them to
adopt all measures necessary to enable them to march at
two days' notice."
The Minister of Nassau has issued the following
proclamation :
" Faithful inhabitants of Nassau,—The Duke has,
hitherto, not returned. I will, therefore, no longer
hesitate to declare to you that, for my own part, I un-
conditionally agree to the demands proposed to me,
and further express my firm conviction that the Duke
will also agree to them.
"In the mean time her Royal Highness the
Duchess places herself, together with her son Prince
Nicholas, the only brother of the Duke, who is pre-
sent, under your protection, and offers her person as a
pledge and security for the same.
"If the Duke should not concede your demands, I,
the Minister, will, as I have already declared, imme-
diately resign my situation without a pension.
" Inhabitants of Nassau, remain faithful I Citizens,
protect our city ! Be Germans ! Be united !

The DUKE, who returned in the afternoon, ratified
all that his Minister had done, and thus saved his
throne.

The following petition was presented to the Senate
of Frankfort on the Maine :

" Supreme Senate,—
" In the country of our nearest neighbours we sud-
denly find a Republic substituted for the monarchy.
One sentiment alone now penetrates every German
heart, the necessity of maintaining the closest concord
of all the states of our fatherland against any attack,
from what side soever it may be made. We deem it
a sacred duty to give utterance to this universal
sentiment.
"Freedom, however, can alone inspire us with
strength for self-defence. We must therefore declare
what pledges of liberty are still wanting to the father-
land :
" 1. Repeal of all the exceptional laws enacted
since 1819. 2. Unconditional liberty of the press.
3. Trial by jury. 4. Universal arming of the people.
5. A general German Parliament. 6. Civic equality
without distinction of creed. 7. The free right of
meeting in public. 8. A political amnesty, and the
plenary restitution of civic rights.
" The same sacred duty to the fatherland and the
laws of right compels us, at the same time, to exhort
your attention, in the most impressive manner, to
the solemn warning of history. No war of agres-
sion against France on account of her form of Go-
vernment.
" Whosoever will have liberty must also respect and
secure the liberty of others.
" Herein consists our demands, and those of the
fatherland collectively.
" We request the Supreme Senate, following the
example of several Federal Governments, immediately,
to concede these demands, and where this is not im-
mediately practicable to labour with the utmost
energy for the speedy assurance of the same.
" Frankfort..on-Maine, March 3, 1848."
(The signatures follow.)

Madrid papers of the Ist inst., have arrived. There
was a rumour in Madrid that MARIA. CHRISTINA had
fled ; it was, however, disbelieved. The Ministersahad
received several communications from France, the
nature of which had not been suffered to transpire.

The following is the exposition and the project of
law presented by NATIVAEZ to the Cortes, demanding
extraordinary powers :

" TO TIME CORTE'.

" While events of immense importance are taking
place in a great and powerful nation, our neighbour,
and while in various states of Europe political com-
motions are felt, the Spanish Government cannot, and
ought not, to neglect preparing itself for casualties
of every kind. Neutral, amidst such events, it is
bound to watch over the throne of Queen Isabella
11., the institutions, and the independence of the
country. Constant in the system of legality it bas
proclaimed, whilst feeling and manifesting the neces-
sity of watchfulness, its first regards have been di-
rected to the assembled Cortes, that they may give it
the force which, perhaps, may become necessary when
they shall no longer be assembled, and which the
Government is determined not to acquire by extra
legal means.
" The Government entertains no fears for the des-

tiny of Spain, for the cause of liberty and of order.
But its responsibility would be the greater if, through
carelessness or omission of its duties, these sacred
interests should be perilled. Faithful to the decla-
ration already made by the Government in the bosom
of the Cortes, neither truing motives nor unworthy
considerations will induce it to vary the line of
tolerance or legality it has adopted. It will avoid,
as much as possible, an appeal to those means which
the authorisation we now demand from the Cortes
shall place in its hands. But when all the resources
of prudence are exhausted, it will then defend itself
with the strong shield of that legal authorisation ;
and in any struggle in extreme cases, but which it
hopes will not occur, it entertains no doubt of the
complete triumph of the cause the defence of which
is intrusted to it.
" Such is the object the Government proposes in
presenting to the Cortes, with the due authority of
her Majesty, the subjoined project of law. It enter-
tains the hope that where the only question is to de-
fend the throne from all sorts of dangers, the institu-
tions, the independence of the nation, the integrity of
the territory, and public order, there will be found to
exist unanimity of opinion amongst all the represen-
tatives of the nation, who are alike interested in the
preservation of such sacred objects :-
1 " PROJECT OF LAW.

" ' Art. I. The Government are authorised—

" 1. To adopt, :should circumstances require it,
such measures as they may consider necessary for the
preservation of tranquillity and public order ; declar-
ing, in the case referred to, the suspension of the in-
dividual guarantees granted by the seventh article of
the constitution of the monarchy, in eonformity with

the eight article of the same.
" 2. To collect and expend the contributions in
conformity with the existing estimates, in virtue of
the legislative authorisation of the 11th of the present
month. _

" 3, To raise, in case of necessity, and in the
manner the Government may consider proper, the
sum of 200 millions of reels, to be applied to the ex-
traordinary expenses circumstances may require.
" ' Art. 11. The present authorisation to be con-
tinued from the present to the next meeting of the
Cortes, when the Government will render an account
of the use they shall have made of the said autho
risation.
" Madrid, Feb. 27, 1848: " _ _

This proposal . will be strongly opposed by the
Progresistas, and in the event of their not succeed-
in their opposition, they will retire in a body from
the Cortes, and thus the conflict would be transferred
from the Chambers to the nation at large, in which
case the inauguration of the Spanish Republic would
not be longer doubtful, as the Louis Philippists, left
to their own resources, would be annihilated by
the national Spanish party, formed by the union of
Progresistas and Carlists, who would all accept
a republic. The sitting of the Chamber on the 29th
was so tumultuous in consequence of the concealment
by the Government of the news received from Paris,
that the President was obliged to employ soldiers to
clear the public galleries. All letters have been de
tained at the post-office since the 25th. Mr. BULWER
has demanded the immediate delivery of those ad-
dressed to British subjects.

THE FR,EiN,CII REPUBLIC.

PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The stoppage of payment by the house of GouIN
and Co. (late LATITTBS) had occasioned some alarm,
and other stoppages were talked of. The effect of
the suspension of payment by Gouin and Co. will
press hardly upon the small traders and shopkeepers
of Paris, almost all of whom banked there. In order
to obviate as much as possible the evil effects likely
to result from this stoppage, the Provisional Govern- i
ment has announced its intention of authorising the
opening of a discount bank, under the guarantee of
the Government, as was done in 1830 with the most
complete success. The members of the Government
are in constant communication with the merchants
and bankers, for the purpose of organizing a system
of administration for the discount bank, which it is
supposed will be opened in a day or two. The bank
of France approves of and supports the project.
The Provisional Government has issued the fol-
lowing official communication on the subject :
" Reports have been circulated about the causes of
the suspension of payments by the house of Gouin.
We say suspension,' for the Caisse of Gouin is not
in discomfiture. It had made investments to the
amount of 34,000,000 f., consequently it was impos-
sible for it to continue its circulation, and meet the
demands made upon it for reimbursement. The Pro-
visional Government is actively engaged in establish-
ing a discount bank. A meeting of competent men
will be held to-morrow (this day) at the Minister
of Finance's." _

M. GOUIN has resigned the chairmanship of the
direction of the Paris and Lyons Railway.
The Havre Bank has issued a notice, that from
Tuesday the offices will be open for receipts, dis-
counts, and reimbursements. The discount on all
bills is fixed at 5 per cent. Until further notice the
Bank will only pay 250 f. to each person, but will in-
crease the amount as soon as possible.
Finding that the closing of the Bourse increased
the panic, tke Minister of Finances very properly
ordered that it should be re-opened for the dispatch
of business immediately, and accordingly it was re-
opened yesterday.
M. GOUDCHAUX, the ex-Minister of Finance, has
addressed the following letter to the members of the
Provisional Government :

" Gentlemen,—l have to demand from you the
execution of the promise which you made to me, and
which alone determined me to accept, even for a very
short time, the functions which I have filled up to this
day. The public wish called to these important
functions one of the members of the Provisional
Government whom his special studies pointed out to
the confidence of every one. You are aware that
my repugnance was overcame only by the difficult
circumstances which required the presence of all the
members of the Provisional Government at the Hotel
de At present, thanks to your energetic
activity, order is re-established, and men must
resume their natural position. My republican senti-
ments are known to you, and you cannot doubt my
very sincere devotedness to my country.. If it were
proved to me that my services were indispensable to
yon, I should, notwithstanding my want of ability,
continue in the post in which 1 have been placed for
some days past. That necessity not existing in any
respect, I have to request you to restore me to liberty.
I shall not the less remain at the disposal of the Pro-
visional Government in all that it can demand from
me within the narrow sphere of my faculties."
we stated yesterday,
M. GARR= PAWLS has, as
been appointed the new Minister of Finances, M.
ARAGO is appointed Mayor of Paris in the room of
M. GARNIER PAGES and is succeeded by Admiral
BAUDIR as Minister of Marine.

It was reported in Paris that an emeule had oc-
curred at Tours, and that the Orleans Railway sta-
tion had been burned. The fortifications of Lyons
are in the course of destruction.
On Monday the Marquis of NORMAND 7 had an
interview with M. DR LAILANTINE, on the subject of
the collisions which took place at Rouen and Havre
between the French and English workmen, the con-
sequence of which has been that many of the Eng-
lish workmen have been forced to leave their work,
and embark for England, without even receiving the
wages due to them. Lord NoRMANMT also com-
plained of the conduct of the inhabitants of Granville,
who had prevented the exportation of French cattle
to England. M. DE LAMARTIND stated that acts of
violence and excesses of this nature were equally in-
jurious to trade, and contrary to the relations of
friendship existing between the two countries, but
that it was only the effect of emotion and want of
reflection in those two places. He added that the
Government would not fail to re-establish between
the labourers and the sailors of the two countries the
liberty, security, and friendship which ought to exist,

and be strengthened, between the two Governments.
The persons who had possession of the Tuileries
have been dislodged.
The Moniteur publishes a decree of the Provisioned
Government abrogating the law of the 9th of Sep••

tember, 1835, relative to crimes and offences com-
mitted by means of the press, and replacing it, until
the meeting of the National Assembly, by the laws
previously in force. The verdict of the jury will re-
quire in future a majority of nine votes.
In the course of its leading article of Tuesday, the
National makes the following just observations on the
causes of the late Revolution. We entirely concur in
everything that the National says on this subject ; in-
deed at the time the Spanish marriages were con-
tracted, we said that Louis PHILIPPE was risking the
Crown of France for the chance of securing the
Crown of Spain for his son :
" The Spanish marriages," says the National,
"contracted in accordance with the calculations of a
merely personal ambition, have contributed their
share to our revolution. They embroiled the Orleans
dynasty with England—they threw it into the arms
of Austria. They rendered it the enemy of Switzer-
land—they made it the adversary of Italy. In a word,
they caused the adoptisn of that retrograde policy, so
insane that it was impo,sible to explain it, and so
odious that it raised a universal feeling of indigna-
tion; they were even the cause of the maintenance
in office of the Guizot Ministry, and of the fall of
the monarchy ; for Austria declared that if the least
modification were made in the Ministry with a view
of conciliating the left," she would at once separate
her policy from that of the French Cabinet, and in-
vade Italy. If the revolution had not occurred, the
most serious consequences would have ensued from
the Spanish marriages. It was determined by the
Court party to send the Duke DE MONTPENSIER to
Madrid, in case the Queen of SPAIN should die or
abdicate. England, on her side, was determined to
oppose any :arrangement which would place the Go-
vernment of Spain in the hands of the chief of the
Orleans dynasty ; and Spain was far from being
satisfied with the authority which the French Go-
vernment arrogated to itself. So that it would have
been possible to see a new war of succession arise in
the midst of the 19th century. Happily these com-
plications have been annihilated in their germ, by
the proclamation of the French Republic."

The Presse states that the Provisional Govern-
ment intends to place the tomb of NAPOLEON under
the care of the EMPEROR'S brother JEROME, who is to
be appointed Governor of the Invalides. It adds, that
Marshal MOLITOR, the present Governor of the Inva-
lides, highly approves of the appointment, and was the
first to give it his sanction.
It is said that two more banking-houses stopped
payment in the course of yesterday.
The intelligence received in Paris from Italy is of
a mixed character. The King of SARDINIA had de-

termined to be guided by the 'example of England,
and had ordered his Minister, if the Marquis of .INOR
MANBY acknowledged the French Republic, to ac-
knowledge it likewise. The Pore seemed disinclined
to enter into diplomatic relations with the Republic,
and had refused to make any further concessions to
his own subjects.

General PEPE had received an address from the
National Guard at Naples, inviting him to place him-
self at their head. General PEPE is to leave Paris
for Naples on the 15th inst.
The Sie/e has the following on the sequestration
of the private property of the ex-Royal Family
" By a decree of the Provisional Government all
the personal and real property belonging to the ex-
King and the Princes and the Princesses of the ex-
Royal Family are placed under sequestration. As a
provisional measure this is good ; but what is to be
done with all this property ? We shall not disguise
that this question is delicate ; but it is precisely on
that account that we should take advantage of the
present calmness of the public mind to lay down the
bases of a solution. Confiscation is abolished by our
laws; and were it not, it is not for the Govern-
ment, which has generously proclaimed during the

excitement of conflict the inviolability of human life
for political crimes, to be believed capable of making
any attack upon the inviolability of property. At
the same time, the estates belonging to persons
of the royal race cannot be restored to them
without danger to the repose, if not to the safety,
of the Republic. The solution of this pro-
blem, therefore, must be sought either in the consti-
tution of the appanages and privy domains, or in the
acts of the ancient royal family. Is there vested in
the late King and Princes' property, legally called
freehold, composing either the appanage of the House
of Orleans, or the private domain ? In principle,
appanages, conferred upon princes of the blood by
sovereign munificence, gave but a temporary and
eventual title, returning to the State either by an ac-
cession to the throne of the prince who granted them,
or by the will of the Sovereign. They were, indeed,
granted only to support the t• ity of the throne.
There is no longer a throne, a efore there is no
longer any need of appanage- ." ort its dignity.
According to the very terniato si onarchical law,
the sovereign, that is to say the-nati , returns into the
enjoyment of the property, the usufruct of lwhich
had been alienated for a political interest which no
longer exists. The privy domain existed only by a
derogation of the constitutional laws of the monarchy.
By conveying over to his children on the eve of his
accession to the throne the estates descended to hiin
from his ancestors, or granted to him by royal muni-
ficence, the Duke of Orleans defrauded the State of
a property which belonged to it by an immemorial
title. Upon even the monarchical right the State is
warranted in resuming the possession, and claim-
ing the arrears. We lay it down, therefore, as a
principle that the Orleans family is no longer pro-
prietor either of the freeholds composing the appanage,
nor of those which composed the privy domain. The re-
sumption, therefore, of these estates is not a confisca-
tion, and cannot be called an attack upon the inviola-
bility of property. But, independent of this legal
question, and also as concerns the personal property
of Louis Philippe, it must be inquired whether he is
not a debtor to the State. Proceeding in chronological
order as to public acts, we find that in 1830 the Civil
List received a surplus of 9,000,000 f., to which must
be added interest for 17 years • we also find depee-
dations in the forests of the Crown and of the Civil
List—depredations the amount of which must be
ascertained. Relative to the conditions upon which
the Civil List was granted, we have to notice the
unfinished state of the Louvre, to which 2,000,000 f.
per annual were to be appropriated. In fine, there
must not be a confiscation—there must be a seques-
tration."

BOURSE, PARIS, TUBSDAY.
Business was resumed here to-day, after nearly a
fortnight's interruption. The attendance at first was
exceedingly limited, the public in general not being
aware that the re-opening had been ordered; towards
the close, however, the hall became better filled. As
the hand of the clock approached the hour of one,
great interest was expressed to learn the opening
price of the French Three per Cents. At last
the bell rang, and the first agent-de-change who
spoke was M. BEZARD, demanding the. Rente at
55 francs ; another agent-de-change offered it at
60 francs ; so that it was evident that the
price would be between these extremes. The first
official quotation was 58 francs, which was
the highest price of the day ; the lowest was 55f. 50c.,
and the closing one 56f. The Five per Cents. opened
at 97f. 50,., dividend detached (or at par with it),
and gradually declined to 891., at which they closed.
If compared with the prices of Febrhary 23, the
last day on which business was done bef-.re the Re-
volution, the Five per Cents. will be found to have
undergone a fall of 27f. 50c., and the Threes 17f.
70c. The Four per Cents., which closed to-day at
801., and the Four-and-a-Half at 85f., dividend de-
tached from both, have each fallen 16f. 50c.
Some of the other stocks show a tremendous de-
preciation ; Bank of France Shares show a fall of
840 f.; City of Paris Bonds, 335 f. ; Bank of Algiers
Shares, 155 f.; Quartre Canaux, 1501. In Foreign
Stocks, Piedmont has gone down 65f., and Roman
10f. 50c. In French Railway Shares the decline is
very remarkable : thus Orleans closed at 950 f, or
230 f. lower ; Rouen at 525 f., or 3331 75c. lower ;
Havre, at 250 f., or 167 f. 50c. lower; Northern, at
375 f., or 161 f. 25e. lower; Vierzon, at 3751., or
126 f. 25c. lower ; Lyons, at 2921. 50c., or 92f. 50c.
lower; Bordeaux, at 405 f., or 70f. lower; Stras-
burg, at 837 f. .50e,, or 63f. 75c. lower; Nantes, at
325 f., or 55f. lower; and Bale at 1051., or 52f. 50e
lower.

No business was done in the Coulisse, as the
transactions in the Parquet were, without excep-
tion, for Money. The official lists, it is true, give
prices for the Account, but it was impossible to
find amongst one's acquaintances any person able
to say that he himself knew of any such transaction
taking place. As soon as the bell rang for three
o'clock almost all the coulissiers withdrew, contrary
to their general custom. It was remarked during

the day that M. ARCHDEACON. a most respectable
agent-de-change, was constantly a buyer ; he is said
to bave laid out about three millions of francs in
the purchase of French Threes and Fives. Nothing
was done during the day in Bons da Tresor, it
being almost impossible to negotiate them. There
was no agitation whatever during the day, every-
thing being exceedingly calm and orderly. Several
of the agen.s-de• change were in the uniform of Na-

tional Guards.

THE LAST MOMENTS OF THE
FRENCH MONARCHY.

We have received the following interesting history
of the half-hour's reign of the Comte de Paris, from a
gentleman who has been a resident in Paris thirty
years, and who was an eye-witness of the occurrences
which he narrates :

" 1 quorum pars magna fui."
PARIS, NJARCII 1,1848.—0 n 1 hursda.y, the 24th
ultimo, about a quarter past one, P DI , I was in company
with a friend, leaning on the inner rails of the terrace

ettlkd ll,s F:uidans, ear Lhe Rue de Rivoli, and Over

looking the gent, ns of the Tuileries. Keenly alive to
passing events, I turned my eyes totvarda the Palace,
when I saw a small cortege issuing from it, and proceed-
ing hurriedly down the grand central alley which lea,is
towards the Place du la Concorde (now Place de le
Revolutiun). I immediately ran to join this party, when,
to my astonishment, I tound it eas composed of the
Duchess of Orleans with her two children, the Count de
Paris and the Duke de Chartres, all on foot, attended
by a General officer, two or three aide-de-camps, and
escorted by a few ot the National Guard. The most
profound silence prevailed, and every one pre-
sent seemed to be paralysed by an undefined
apprehension. When we approached the grand
gateway which separates the gardens from the
Place de la, Revolution, M. Dupin, the great
friend and intimate adviser of ex Majesty Louis
Philippe, came from the Chambers to meet her Royal
Highness; he eagerly inquired from one of the aide-de-
camps if a carriage could not be procured to convey the
Duchess to the Chambers; he answered in the negative,
adding, that even if one could be had, it could not pos
sibly proceed, so great was the crowd outside. Not
being distant more than oue pace from her Royal High-
ness, I narrowly watched her changing countenance;
she appeared to me so oppressed by her awful position
that I thought she would have fallen to the ground—
maternal affection, however, supported her sinking
frame, for she firmly grasped the hand of her eldest
son, who is a charming buy. Amiability rather than in-
telligence strikes me to be the characteristic of this
Princess. who is delicately formed, but not prepossessing
in her appearance. I am assured that her mental powers
are highly cultivated.
Flaying said so much about the principal personage of
the group, I shall continue my narrative. We pro•
ceeded between two ranks of National Guards and troops
of the line, to the Chambers; we were joined imme-
diately after by the Dukes de Nemours and Montpen-
sier. The pressure here became so great, that I felt much
for the Duchess, who must have suffered extremely. Tho
Duchess and her son were much cheered by the National
Guards and people. The rush into the Chamber was
tremendous. The persons, who, like myself, were
anxious to witness the important proceedings in the
House, presented such a compact front, that we bore
down all opposition. When we had entered the salle,
which precedes that in which the sittings are held, the
officers of the House remonstrated with violence, but a
man of gigantic stature cried out, that he was a repre-
sentative of the people, and as such he would enter in
spite of all opposition, to maintain their rights, and
" pour voir qu 'on ne les tronape plus." No further diffi-
culty was offered. The Duchess was placed in a large
arm chair under the tribune, and near her were
I seated her two children. Her Royal Highness was well
received by the " Centres," but a sullen silence reigned
on the benches of the " Gauche." and " Centre Gauche."
This circumstance struck me to be ominous of evil to
the hopes of the Court. The Chambers at this moment
presented an indescribable scene. When silence was
obtained, M. Dupin ascended the tribune, and briefly
stated that the King had abdicated in favour of the
Count de Paris, and had named the Duchess of Orleans
Regent of the kingdom. This announcement was re-
ceived with enthusiasm by the " Centres" (the Conser-
vative party ), but with coldness by the Opposition and
the public in the galleries.
M. Marie, Member of the present Provisional Go
vernment, a leading member of the Opposition, then
rose, and represented to the House that it would
be guilty of a glaring illegality if it named a
Regent, inasmuch as the Duke de Nemours had
already been appointed to this high station,
by all the powers of the state; that the most prudent
measure to adopt in the present critical state of affairs
was to appoint a Provisional Government to stop the
effusion of blood and prevent a civil war. M. Cremieux,
a distinguished lawyer, and also a member of the Oppo-
sition, spoke to the same effect; adding that the law
which established the first Regency should be duly abro
gated before a new one could be enacted, and he finally
moved the nomination of five members to form a Pr,,.
visional Government. M..s. de Genoude and de La-
rochejacquelin, the chiefs of the old Legitimist party,
tried in vain to address the Assembly, but They were
literally cried down. M. Odillon Barrot entered the
House at this moment, and being loudly called for, he
ascended the tribune. His appeal in favour of the
Duchess of Orleans and her son was most impressive.
I never heard a more eloquent harangue • he called upon
his colleagues "de se ralleir cette double i epresentation
de la Revolution de Juillet," and concluded a
noble and most pathetic address by proposing, first,
the regency of the Duchess of Orleans, secondly, a Mi-
nistry, to be composed of the most liberal and tried
Members of the House, and, thirdly, a dissolution of Par-
liament. But the die was cast; the scene now shifted,
and the real actors appeared on the stage. A band,
composed of National Guards, workmen in their smock
frocks, and individuals of the lowest grades of society,
burst in the doors of the Chambers. They were armed
with all kinds of offensive and defensive weapons. They
bore on high tri-colour flags, no longer surmounted by
the coq Gaulois—to me a most significant proof of what
would next take place. Four of these flags were planted
on the tribune. The Speaker, M. Sauzet, having put
on his hat, cries of "Hats off!" were uttered by the in
furiated mob. Nearly all the members of the House
then withdrew; there remained only to the last M.
Dupont de l'Eure, who occupied the Speaker's vacant
chair, MM. Larochejacquelin, Cremieux, Ledru-Rollin,
and de Lamartine. M. Ledru-Rollin, after having
demanded silence in the name cf the people, exclaimeo
" In the name of the people, I protest against that sort
of Government which it has just been proposed to you to
tablish; I demand the constitution of 1791 and a Pro
visional Government." Here applauses burst forth from
the galleries and benches, now filled by the populace,
who brandished their weapons. Bedlam let loose could
not have offered a greater scene of confusion, and this
uproar was continued for nearly two hours. The Speaker's
chair, the tribune, the seats usually occupied by the se-
cretaries and other officers of the House, were filled by a
motley crowd. Papers, on which were written the
names of the members of the Provisional Government
were thrown about, and received of course with great
acclamation. Standing on the flight of steps leading to
the tribune, I looked at my neighbour, of whom the fol-
lowing is a faithful description:—He was a man about
sixty years of age, with a very long beard, almost white,
falling upon his breast—his head would have been a model
either for a painter or a statuary—he had under one arm
half a loaf ot a pain de munition (soldier's brown bread),
and in his right hand he held an enormous sword, the
hilt of which would have suited the brawify arm of
Brennus, or that of Brian Born, the Irish King of
Munster. At one time ho brandished this fearful
weapon, uttering a few gutteral sounds, such as " Nous
somines aujourd hui les vrais representans du peuple"—
in other respects he was the best, conducted man in the
whole assembly. I have been since informed by a
friend that he is, in reality, what is called a "
that is a person who hires himself out to painters and
statuaries. On the first irruption of these represents
rives of the people, who filled the house with cries of
" Viva la Republique,'' the Duchess of Orleans, seeing
that her hopes were blasted, hastily withdrew by a back
door with her children, and attended by a few faithful
friends.
At five o'clock cries of " To the Hotel de Ville" were
uttered. Many then left the House to join the proces-
sion formed to inaugurate the Provisional Government
!at the Hotel de Ville. I proceeded into the salon called
Salle de Diane, where a large crowd was collected, con-
sisting of reporters for the daily papers, and of persons
warmly discussing the events of the day. I perceived a
man attempting to climb upon the mantelpiece of the
immense chimney, on which were placed two allegorical
figures in marble, and in the centre a fine bust of Louis
Philippe ; this he was on the point of throwing down
when a voice exclaimed, " Respect the arts," upon which
he took his pocket handkerchief and put it over the
head of the King. This conduct met with loud appro-
bation. After my departure I was informed that a fine
painting, which represented Louis Philippe holding his
grandson, the Count of Paris, over the baptismal font,
was fired at and much injured.
Thus has fallen a monarch reputed the wisest in
Europe; his fate is a warning to all, but particularly to
constitutional princes, not to forget their true support,
the affection of their people. He was in the fullest sense
of the word a " cheat, ' jais hypocrisy was only equalled
by his obstinacy, for almost to the last five minutes pre-
vious to his flight from the Tuileries, he would not be
lieve that the people dare to attack the Palace. Those
who indulge in fatalism will look upon his downfal as a
remarkable instance of Divine retribution. I have
mixed up with all classes ot Frenchmen, and I have not
yet heard one regret expressed for his fall, not one
" God bless him." VERAX.

SHIP ON FIRE IN THE IRISH
CHANNEL.
TO THE EDILOR OF THE SUN.

Six,--lonFridaYnighi,6.3o P.M., I came up with a
vessel on fire in the Irish Channel, seven miles distance,
Tasker light it was a complete wreck, only a
part of her starboard side quarter deck out of
water ; spars were floating away on fire ; evidently
a brig with a white streak; no name visible; took a
small 21b. iron swivel off her quarter taffrail, marked
"F." Saw nothing of the crew.—Yours, &c.,

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
FRANCONFS EQUESTRIAN :TROQP.

Franconis Equestrian Troop, whose performances
at the Cirque National in the Champs Elyties have
been so long the delight of the Parisians, has been
engaged by M. Julien for a month, and opened here
last night. It is little more than a week since the
opera season closed here, and in that time the in-
terior of the theatre has been so transformed that
none of the old habitues would recognise it. The
orchestra and the greater portion of the pit have been
formed into an immense arena, between forty
and fifty feet in diameter. The stage has been
fitted up as an immense amphitheatre, with
seats rising tier above tier to the roof, and which gives
accommodation to 600 persons. The portion of the
pit not occupied by the arena is similarly fitted up.
The musicians are located in a gallery at the very
top of the house, at the back of the stage, over the
heads of the occupants of the amphitheatre. The stage
portion of the ceiling of the house is covered by a
ceiling of coloured calico, arranged in fluted
columns. Numerous lights are tastefully ar-
ranged, and the house and the whole coop
dceil is very effective. The performances com-
menced with La Guile des Voltigeurs, in which
several wonderful feats of vaulting were performed
with ease and neatness. Then came divers eques-
trian scenes in the circle, performed by various gen-
tlemen and ladies, and enlivened by the witticisms.
of the two Auriols and Leclair, who were the
" clowns to the ring," and then some wonderful
feats with chairs by Auriol, whose quaint
" La, La," at the conclusion of each feat,
produced a very droll effect. The most wonderful
performance of the evening was that of M. Leroy
with the globe. Standing on a globe, he causes it
to ascend an inclined plane, and again to descend it,
M. Leroy himself standing on it the whole time.
But if this was the most wonderful, certainly the
most interesting performance, was that of the
little Marie Anato, a beautiful child, apparently
not more than eight years of age, who, on the
back of a steed at full speed, danced the Ma-
nola, keeping time with the castagnettes, with an
elegance, a grace, and a precision that nothing could
surpass. Mademoiselle Caroline, whose per-
formances are already so well known and so
highly:appreciated, managed her horse Jupiter
of the high school in the most surprising manner,
and the Spanish dwarf, Don Francisco Hidalgo, ap-
peared in a pantomimic scene, with M. Montero, who
acted the part of an ape as though he had been to the
manner born. At the conclusion there were loud calls.

for " God save the Queen," the meaning of which the
musicians did not at first appear to understand,
and were about to leave the orchestra. The matter
having been explained to them they at once per-
formed the national anthem, and were honoured with
an encore. The house was crammed to the ceiling.

THE RIOTS IN LONDON.
(THIS DAY.)

Trafalgar-square may now be said to have resumed.

its wonted appearance. With the exception of a few
extra policemen, and half-a-dozen idle spectators, there
is nothing to denote that anything unusual has taken
place. At an early hour to-day a gang of a similar
class—if not the same—began to congregate at Charing-
cross; the police resolutely kept them out of the square,
Their only object seemed to be either to participate in
any " lark " with any of their more reckless compeers,
or to play their part in any system of plunder that
Might be started. The authorities of Scotland-yard,
being determined to put an end to such riotous
proceedings as those whieh have taken place during the
hitt two days, not only sent out additional police, but
engaged two or three men with boards to carry about
the notice which appeared in our Third Edition of yester-
day. These persons were grossly insulted by the mob,
notwithstanding they were protected by the police.
They were chased down the Strand, and the mob gain-
ing strength as it passed along rushed after them with
renewed vigour. The boards were one moment
elevated in the air the next they were
rattling on the heads of their pursuers. The bearers
were very roughly handled. At length they were res-
cued from the violence of their assailants, who, followed
by the police, rushed towards Fleet-street. There could
not have been less than 2,000 or 3,000 men and boys
l'he bearers of some boards belonging to a weekly
periodical were also badly used.
Many of the shops is the western portion of the Strand
were kept closed during the morning, and the windows
of a few of those kept open were broken by the mar,
partly accidentally and partly intentionally. A cry
" The mob is coming," ran down Fleet-
street and Holborn like wildfire. A vast

number of the shops in Fleet-street were instantly
closed. In Fetter-lane not a shop, save the public-
houses, was open. All the shops, with the same excep-
tions, from Middle-row, Holborn, to the bottom of
the hill were closed. Scarcely a shop was closed at
twelve o'clock ; by one the shops along the line we have
mentioned were shut up, and business nearly altogether

suspended ; the doors alone were kept open. It is
almost unnecessary to add, that the greatest excite-
ment and consternation prevails. Small detach-
ments of police are patrolling about those
places, all of which are inconveniently crowded
by idle persons, boys, and children, who are
looking eagerly for " the mob." A more insensate, a
more unmeaning, or a more purposeless mob than that
which has disturbed the quiet of the western part of the
metropolis for the last three days surely never congre-
gated. If they had any object they did not proclaim it;
and if they had, they were utterly wanting in moral
courage to give even utterance to it in words. The en-
counters that took place between them and the police
were just similar to those that take place on a smaller
scale in the poor and densely populated neighbourhoods
every day of our lives. They were wanting in dignity,
purpose, and sense.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION.
Sir,—On Monday, the 6th, the debate was on Mr.
Hume's motion to limit the income-tax to one year.
Among other follies mustered in the course of the dis-
cussion, was the malevolent fallacy that to levy a
smaller rate on the poor than on the rich, would
amount to confiscation ; and a writer on political
economy, eminent for mistakes, was quoted as saying
that the man who would propose it was "a savage.
The fraud is simply this. If it was proposed that a
man of 2001. a year should pay three per cent.,
a man of 4001. a year six per cent., of 8004
a year twelve per cent., and so on, the result
would be that a man of 6,5001. a year or upwards
must pay all he had; an insane termination, which
because it was insane, was by nobody ever thought
of. The utmost that has ever been put forward in a
practical shape is the proposal, that in addition to
the present freedom of incomes below 1501. per
annum, every man should be charged only for the
excess of his income above 1501. From consulta-
tion of the return asked for by Mr. Moffatt, (or-
dered by the House of Commons to be printed
23d of July, 1847,) it appears that to do this
and obtain the same sum from the tax as at present,
would require the rate to be raised from 3 per cent.
to 41. In such case, the income on which the change
would be of no effect would be 450/. ; those below
it being relieved, while those above it are surcharged
to an extent which, instead of confiscation, ap-
proaches, on au infinite income, to 50 per cent.
Sir Robert Peel took the opportunity of ex-
pressing very pacific sentiments on the subject of
continental politics. Lord George Bentinck followed
with profuse compliments to the admirable conduct of
the French people, but endeavoured to insert an inti-
mation of the necessity there would be for war if they
should attempt to occupy the Rhenish provinces ;
which was received with faint cheers from his own
corner of the House, and loud groans from the other
side. He also, in his list of taxes which he would
propose, included doubling the postage on letters, con-
jointly with continuing the Corn duties and restoring
the Timber duties; so that we know now whence
proceed the feelers on that subject in the public prints.
No proposal could be more characteristic of the "party
of the extinguisher," and more likely to destroy the
probability of its own success.
On Tuesday the principal debate was on Mr. Shar-
man Crawford's Bill of Tenant Right, which was
finally brought in without a division, and the House
adjourned at six o'clock.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
T. PERRONET THOMPSON.
