THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday

The Provisional Government of France have just
issuiid the followed ordonnances

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
" LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY.

" The Provisional Government of the Republic, eonsi-
dering that. during the last fifty years every new Go-
vernment that constituted itself, required and received
oaths, which were successively replaced by others at
every political change ;
" Considering that the first duty of every republican
is to be &voted without any reservation to the country,
and that every citizen, whu, under the Government of
the Republic, accepts functions or continued in the ex-
orcise occupied, contracts in a still more
special of
lfthawmanner
thehe sered obligations of serving it and
devoting himself to its security, decrees :
" Public functionaries of the administrative and ju-
diciary order shall not take any oath.
" Paris, Ist March. 184 S.

ment:—Dupont de l'Eure, Lainattine, Arago, Cremieux,

opened by a squadron of cavalry of the National
Guard, a squadron of Dragoons, another of Cuiras-
siers, and a company of artillery of the army. All
the members of the Provisional Government, the
members of the municipalities, the families of the
victims, deputations of every corporation of workmen,
and a company of every battalion of the National
Guard, were to form the cortege.
The entente cordiale between France and England
—we mean the real and true entente cordiale which
should always subsist between neighbouring free
nations—not the miserable family compact which the
late French Government called by the name, and to
the maintenance of which the honour and dignity of
both nations were frequently sacrified—the entente
cordiale between France and England has been com-
pletely re- established. The National, one of the
organs of the Republic, says,—

"'Lord Normanbf officieusemene e,,mmunieated this
morning to M. de Lacuartine, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, the dispatches he had recei%ed from Lord Pal
merston, relative to the disposition of the British
Government towards the new Provisional Government
of France. Lord Palmerstcn announced to Lord Nor
manby that England did not hesitate an instant to
acknowledge the right of the French nation to change
the form of its government. He then added, that if
diplomatic usage does not authorize the English Go
vernment to accredit definitive diplomatic agents to the
Provisional Government, the moment the Provisional
Government shall have been converted into a definitive
Government by the National Assembly, the E.iglish
Government will accredit its Ambassador to the French
Republic. In the mean time Lord Palmerston authorises
Lord Normanby to maintain with the Provisional
Government of the Republic not onl) the usual inter-
course, but all the relations of good understanding and
amity which ought to animate the two Governments."
The Marquis of NORMANDY has secured to himself
the confidence and respect of the whole of the people
of France by the courage and prudence which he
displayed during the whole course of the revolution.
" I shall be the last Englishman to quit Paris," said
the Noble Marquis to his countrymen who were
crowding to the embassy for passports and advice;
" I pledge myself that I will not stir from Paris. and
I am sure that the event will prove that your alarm,
however natural, will have proved suprfluous."
It was reported in Paris that Baden was in full in-
surrection, and that the tricoloured flag had been
hoisted at Mayence and Darmstadt.

Last evening, at the Bridgehouse Hotel at New-
haven, the ex• King granted an audience to several
inhabitants from Brighton. They were received

Louis. Philippe, clasping his hands as if overpowered
by his emotions, began immediately to speak on the
subject of the revolution :
" Charles X. (exclaimed the ex-King) was destroyed
for breaking the Charter, and I have been overthrown
for defending it, and for keeping my oath. 1 wish this
to be distinctly understood, an 1 1 hope it will be made
