BOURSE-PARIS, THURSDAY, MARCH 30.

THREE O'CLOCK -Very little business was transacted
to-day, and there was a much slacker attendance at the
Bourse than usual ; this probably was caused by its
being the Mi•Careme, which is generally held as a jour-
de fete at Paris, when every one goes into the streets
to see the masks. There was no exhibition of the kind
to-day, but the weather being uncommonly fine the
Bourse frequenters took a holiday, and swelled the crowd
on the Boulevards. The French Funds were heavy, both
the Five per Cents. and the Threes being 75c. lower than
the day before, the former closing at 601. 25c., and the
latter at 401. 25c. Bank of France Shares have under-
gone a ♦ery heavy depreciation, having been done as
low as 1,1501., and closing at 1.200 f. Miscellaneous
securities have also dropped ; Belgian Fives (1840) are
3f. lower, at 52f. Caisse Hypethicaire 101. lower, at
140 f. City of Paris Bonds sf. lower, at 995 f.; Roman
Quatre Canaux, and Spanish Threes remain as they
were, at 53f., 775 f., and 21f. Railway Shares are nearly
all lower. Orleans have fallen 451., closing at 5101. ;
Marseilles 301., at 2151. ; Rouen, 7f. 50c., at 3751. ;
Lyons, 5f., at 290 f. ; Northern, 3f. 75e., at 3221. 50c.;
Strasburg and Bordeaux, 21. 50c., at 336 f. 25c., and
387 f. 50e. ; Vierzon and Nantes are unaltered, at 220 f.
and 330 f.; Havre are 51. higher, at 2051. Everything
continues at the Bourse to be done for money only. The
charge for cashing a I,ooof. note was lower to-day,
being only 151. ; the English sovereign is worth about
261. 50c.; and French gold is at from 65f. to 701.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

The Vienna Gazette of the 25th March says :

"'The address of the English residents at Vienna to
the Austrians has excited the deepest emotion among
all classes of our capital, and has confirmed the lively
sympathy ever prevalent among the educated classes of
our country for the noble Britons, those first-born sons
of liberty among the great nations of Europe.
"The universal joy which this warm and honourable
acknowledgment of our services during the events of the
late momentous week has excited, is greatly increased by
the fact, which we cannot conceal from ourselves, that
the English Constitution, with its Conservative funda-
mental pillars, its inviolable attachment to the
Royal dynasty, and the gradual, silent develop
ment of public affairs in a legitimate manner, ought to
be our model, and shall be kept in view as worthy of
our imitation in the new constitutional arrangements of
our empire. Therefore we cordially grasp the hand of
friendship which has been held out by you, ye brave
strangers of the mighty sea-girt Europe, and return our
heartfelt thanks that you have led the way to help us to
Inter upon the hitherto untrodden path of our newly-
eehieved liberty, and to encourage us with your pro-
aound experience, as burghers of a glorious land, which,
in these stormy times, has stood firm and unshaken,
and deem us worthy of your all-important approbation.
We cannot at the same time refrain from expressing our
admiration at the political wisdom and indefatigable zeal
of those men who now sit in the council of her Britannic
Majesty, and wield the destiny of that great empire with
such extraordinary prudence, and skill. Once more our
cordial thanks aro due to you, ye noble sons of England,
who were the first to break silence and to hold out the
right hand of fellowship.
" May these first tones of the unfettered press of Aus-
tria penetrate to your blessed island, that secured place
of legitimate liberty, and may it bring to your fellow-
countrymen the happy intelligence that millions of men
dwelling on the banks of the Danube, who, for ages had
been condemned to silence, had their tongue unloosened
and were awakened to new life on the 13th of March."
—Vienna Gazette, March 25.
The same journal says

" The dark spot in the proclamation of the King of
Prussia on the 21st March, which we ventured to apply
to the German Parliament, has some light thrown upon
it by information contained in the Nuremburgh Cor-
respondent, that a proposition has been made by Berlin
that the meeting of the Diet shall be transferred from
Frankfort to Potsdam."
On the 24th the Prince Count LUDovIG BATTHY..
ANY made known the names of the new Ministers :
Interior—BANTALON SZEMERE.
Foreign Affairs—Prince CHARLES ESTERHAZY.
Finance—Louis KOSSUTH.
War—MEszuaos.
Communication—Count STEPHEN TZECHENTIL
Religion—Baron JOSEPH EOTERO.
Trade and Manufacture—GAßßlßL KLANZOL•
Justice—FßANz DEAR.

The Presburgh Gazette of the 22d contains a de-
claration of the assembled Diet, stating that the
present Diet was not convoked for the purpose of a
detailed execution of those projects of law which
are indispensable to a national welfare. That, on
the contrary, the Chamber of Representatives was
persuaded that after it should have legally declared
the principles in conformity with which the repre-
sentative system is to be founded in a Diet to be held
at Pesth in the course of a few months, to refer to
that Diet the creation of all these laws which relate
especially to the guarantees of internal peace and
national freedom, and which do not call for immediate
measures.

That the present Diet deems the following points
as demanding prompt attention :
"1. The legal determination and consolidation of
the new Government system of a responsible ministry.
" 2. The manner and procedure of the co-ordination
of the Diet, to be shortly held at Pesth, and according
to the fundamental principles of the popular representa-
tive system.
"3. The introduction of general taxation, and the
equalisation of public burdens upon the inhabitants of
the kingdom.
"4. The abolition of urbarial relations for private
landowners against indemnification by the state.
5. The immediate constitution of the National
Guards for the maintenance of internal peace and
liberty.
" 6. The guarantee for the liberty of the press, with
abolition of the censorship, and introduction of trial by
jury."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
A letter from Kiel, dated March 26, announces
the commencement of hostilities between the Danes
and the Schelswig Holsteiners at Frederickstadt.

It was reported at Kiel that the King of DEN-
MARL had been killed in an attack on Rendsburg.
This report, however, was not believed.

BELGIUM.

REPORTED REPUBLICAN MOVEMENT.

BRUSSELS, MARCH 29.—A telagraphic dispatch
announces that a report was circulated at Malines
after the arrival of the train from Mokscron, that the
Republican body, commanded by Voss, had entered
Belgium by the village of Risque a tout ; that Ge-
neral FLEURY, at the head of a corps of artillery and
cavalry, had gone out to meet him.—Le Precurseur,
March 29.

HAMBURGH MAIL.
SCLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

COPENHAGEN, MARCH 25.—11 is Majesty yesterday
issued an edict for the abolition of the censorship and for
the freedom of the press. The names of the Ministers
composing the new Cabinet were also made public. We
have now a Burgher Ministry and a Burgher King, who
is perfectly of accord with his people, not to let go of
Seleswig. The whole of our armed force is equipped.
About 12,000 men are to beseige Scleswig. The rage
against the Deputies was so boundless, that they were
taken from the Palace by water in order to avoid a col-
lision with the people; our fortresses and ships of-the-line
are completely prepared to protect the city in case of an
invasion. There is no thought of business of any kind.
Government securities and funds T.° nominal. The
King was on the very brink of abdication. We, how-
ever, thought it wisest to yield to the wishes of the
people, who do make the most exorbitant demands for
liberty. The aristocratic party . hang. their heads down.
Many who are high in office will resign. The German
Chancery is closed,
The military veterans are not a little indignant that
a captain is placed over them. Captain Tschering posi-
tively refused to accept the portefeuille of war
unless carte blanche were given him, which was
accordingly granted. He is a high ultra-Dane
and will certainly not make any concessions. Four
hundred men came up from the country to day, and are
quartered in the city. We are, in the greatest anxiety
to know what steps will be taken by the Deputies from
Holstein if matters do not turn out well.
The steam-boat navigation will be stopped, and trade
will suffer yet more. Everything here is quiet, not
.withstanding the daily popular assembling. Neither
military nor police were visible last Tuesday, when
30,000 Burghers went to the palace TO DEMAND liberty
and a change of the Ministry—not to request it. It was
an awful sight. Hvidt is the friend of the people, but
he intends to withdraw from the Ministry.
AALBURG, MARCH 25.—Denmark is getting ready
for war on a large scale. The yearly resource has been
called in for our battalion, and will probably march to-
morrow for the south.—Hamburgh Borsen Halle,
March 28.

RENDBBURG, MARCH 28.—Military preparations are
being made at Rendsburg.
A patent was issued this morning for the convocation
of the United Diet of Scleswig-Hulstein for the 3d of
April.
The Provisional Government has divided its labours
as follows :—The Prince of Augustenburg, the
War Department ; Beseler, President, without
portefeville ; Count Reventlow, !Foreign Affairs and the
Interior; Bremer Justice; Schmidt, Finance Manufac-
tures, Customs, POst•office.
Several of the surrounding districts have declared in
favour of the Provisional Government. Diplomatic re-
lations have been opened with German Princes for
assistatioo, for troops, arms, and ammunition. The
Provisional Government has abolished the poll-tax by an
edict ; it realises about 300,000 francs.
KIEL, MARCH 27.—Two steamers have been sent this
afternoon to Copenhagen. The guard-ship stationed at
Altona has been seized by the Provisional Government.
It is asserted that the captain had intended to sink it.—
Haniburgh Borsenhalle, March 28.
STOCKHOLM, MARCH 21.—The tranquillity of our
capital has been seriously interrupted during the last
few days. On the 18th, towards evening, an immense
mob, which had been summoned several days previously
by placards, proceeded, at the close of a reform banquet,
with the members of which they, however, appear to
to have had no connexion, to the Brumkeberg Market,
and entered the city, where they commenced break-
ing the windows. The military, who were called
out to restore order, were received with vollies of
stones, and they were at last forced, in self defence„
after several soldiers had been seriously wounded
to fire, by which many of the people were killed and
wounded. The King himself was obliged to ride be
tween the disorderly rabble ; and about one o'clock in
the morning peace was comparatively restored.
Similar scenes were repeated on the 19th, and the
military were again compelled to make use of their arms.
The Altonbladt says, that it was yesterday determined
in a Council of Ministers, at which the King presided,
that, in case of a renewal of disturbances, the most
extreme measures should be resorted to, and that can-
non should be drawn up. There has not, however, been
any further breach of the peace, with the exception of
some mutinous meetings.
About fifty persons have been arrested. Ten or
twelve people were killed, and between seventy and
eighty wounded. A good deal of uncertainty prevails
respecting the origin.—.Haniburgh Borsenhalle, March 28.
Answers have been received here from Berlin and
Hanover to the requisition for a supply of military
for Holstein, The troops aro to assemble in our vici-
nity, but they aro Rot to bo disposable till after the

answer shall have been received from the Diet St
Frankfort.
It appears that the Prussian troops who are expected
for the support of the movement in the Duchies are to
assemble at Havelberg, whence they will probably be
transported direct by water to Altone.
The postal intercourse between the Duchies and
Denmark will, for the present, not he impeded, the
Provisional Government having declared that uo change
shall be made with regard to the mails passing in transit
through the Duchies between Denmark and foreie
countries. No steam-boat communication, however, Is
to take place for the present between Copenhagen and
Kiel. The communication is to be via Lubeck.--"
Hamburgh Borsenhalle, March 28.
ALToNA, MARCH 27.—The Burghers have resolved
to form an armed protective force, for the prevention of
all disturbances of the peace.
The exercises of the volunteers commenced yesterday',
and were to continue every day. To-day severol hundred
volunteers are to march for Rendsburg.—liumburgh
Correspondent, March 28.
PRINCE METTERNICIL—The family of the Prince
arrived at Breslau, from Moravia, on the 20th. Thei
are at the residence of the Countess Sander, the dough'
ter of the Prince, whose husband has entered the Na'
tional Guard. A letter from Dresden of the 26th says
Prince Metternich was here last night. He arrived frets
Bohemia strictly incog., and set out this morning by the
early train for Leipzic, where he does not intend to
stay, but will proceed from the last station to SchenditS,
whence he will proceed with the next train via Mar
deburg and Hamburgh to England. He put up at the
the Stadt Wiene. Having admitted the landlord into his
secret, the latter found it necessary to secure the protec-
tion of the officers of the Civic Guard, who, upon being
questioned, pledged his honour for the safety of the
Prince, and the inviolability of his secret, until he should
have taken his departure. The Prince was entered 10
the visitors' book under the name of Mr. Von Meyer,
with wife and servants, a landed proprietor of Grata,
which has been duly printed in the public list of arrivals
this day.—Hamburgh Correspondent, March 28.
Very little business was done on the Bourse to-day in
exchange, there were a few transactions in milt's,'
shares.

TRANSLATION OF BERANGER'S
ODE ON THE REVOLUTION, WHICH AP
FEARED IN " THE SUN " OF THURSDAY.

BERANGER TO MANUEL.
Yes, France has risen in her might,

Her Liberty has now no foe;
Manuel, to thy prophetic sight
This vision rose long, long ago.
We saw this giant people rise,
Had visions of the promised land,
Why Moses-like wert ta'en away,
Nor left to join our holy band.
Why wart not left to win the race,
My poor, poor friend, I'd fain embrace.

Victor in combats most sublime,
When each true heart sought aid from other,
Thy thoughts were yet of m• and mine,
My own loved friend, my dearest brother ;
Most sad borne down by Despots pride,
Tho pride of rank, the pride of place,
" Vice la Republique," still we cried,
My poor, poor friend, I'd fain embrace.

Since in the glorious Tennis Court
The conquering people seised the helm,
As flows the blood into the heart,
Have flowed the nations to our realm ;
In that Book where w•e find the tate
Recorded of the human race,
The proudest page is forty•eight.
My poor, poor friend, I'd fain embrace.

Empire by Royalty was rendered
A sterile, vast, and barren waste.
On quicksands built—by lightning blasted—
The Throne was shivered—all was past.
Vainly we sought fer its foundations—
We found a free and noble race.
France will regenerate the nations.
My poor, poor friend, I'd fain embrace.
The great Republic still will last ;
It shall be, Yes ! yet still I weep
O'er they last words—" Lament the dead,
Who in their cold graves ever sleep."
To sleep, alas I when France has risen,
A giant girded for the race,
When most she needs thy aid, poor friend,
My poor, poor friend, I'd fain embrace.

Glory to thee, victorious France,
Thinking of him I love the best,
Frenchmen are brothers now, and I
Would fain press all to this old breast.
An old man bowed 'neath old men's fears,
An old man's rest should end my race;
My blood is cold, but I've warm tears,
Dear People, whom I'd fain embrace.
