THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH 28, 1848.

Either the bonnet rouge must veil the crowns of these
anointed potentates as it did the forehead cf Lours
XVI., or their:sceptres must be broken across the
knee of democracy like a rotten lath. There is no
medium course whatever for the rulers of the Eu-
ropeans. Every dispatch affords a new and remark-
able illustration of the impotence of the sway hitherto
exercised by the promoters of kingcraft. Every day
reveals still more vividly the splendid omnipotence of
the million. During thirty-two years of un-
interrupted tranquillity the autocrats of this
division of our hemisphere have been afforded an
opportunity of perpetuating their dominion by timely
and judicious innovations. Those thirty-two years
were the last truce granted to royalty by the mag-
nanimity of the population—they were the interval of
parley —the ultimate suspension of arms between the
myrmidons of monarchy and the creatures of the
Eternal GOD. That interval has expired without
any perceptible advantage accruing to society. Auto-
oracy and aristocracy have dwindled into insignifi-
cance—their age has:elapsed—the whole world is
now fixed in admiration at the apotheosis of their suc-
cessors. Those successors are already obliterating
the malign evidences of the system they have abo-
lished—they have fraternized in the face of Heaven
—they are the genius of Den ocracy, and that radiant
Theocracy which is the incarnation of the religion of
Christendom. Before, however, the blessings of this
union between the institutions of Man and the
Church of his REDEEMER can Jae fully recognised—
before their beneficent operations can be even par-
tially developed, it is necessary that the ruins of
the old structure should be rooted out of the earth,
so that the foundations of the new edifice may be
effectually extended and deepened. A perfect disor-
ganization is requisite before there can be a
perfect re-organization. Hence it is that we
behold the Oabinets of the Continent plunged
at this moment into confusion—the statesman-
ship of Europe baffled—the arms of Europe para-
lysed—and the Sovereigns of Europe hors de combat.
NAPOLEON never contradicted so astonishingly the
limnings of the topographer in a dozen campaigns as
the Spirit of Liberalism has done since the commence-
ment of 1848. War never overturned so entirely, so
suddenly, or so permanently, the lines of demarcation
between adjacent territories. To all appearance, those
states have been desolated by the footsteps of a de-
stroyer, but even now, from the womb of that chaos,
is rising a majestic and beautiful creation.
Europe must very speedily be regenerated, not
only in a political sense, but it must also be regene-
rated geographically. It must be regenerated, we
repeat, both politically and geographically, and the
proximate cause of its regeneration is the Paris Revo-
lution. What may be anticipated politically is a
compact federation of republics and constitutional
monarchies. Nor is this federation impracticable in
any respect, for, as M. DB LAMARTINE has
admirably observed in his diplomatic manifesto
—" Monarchy and Republicanism are not, in
the eyes of true statesmen absolute principles
which mortally oppose each other ; they are
facts which contrast with each other, and which
may exist face to face, mutually comprehending and
respecting each other." Europe must, therefore, be
transformed into an assemblage of monarchies and
republics, regarding each other with a friendly dispo
sition. Geographically the change on the continent
will be momentous and extraordinary. France must
consolidate itself as a republic. Switzerland must re-
main a republic. England, a constitutional monarchy,
will tend by its example to the radical amelioration of
the monarchical systems of Spain, Portugal, Belgium,
Holland, Greece, and Denmark. Beyond this, two
enormous and glorious nations will be reclaimed to
the world by the establishment of a compact nation-
ality in Italy and Germany. In Italy there must be
a practical and constitutional confederation between
Sardinia, Piedmont, Savoy, Tuscany, the Papal States
Naples, Parma, Modena, Piacenza, Guastalla:
Marino, and the territories of Venetian Lombardy.
For Lombardy is already throwing off the sway of
the KAISER, and must very speedily have achieved its
independence. In Germany, on the other hand, the
distinct sovereignties must be coalesced into one con-
gruous and substantial whole, embracing the empire
of Austrian Germany, the kingdoms of Prussian Ger.
many, Bavaria, Saxony, Hanover, and Wirteuiburg,
the Grand Duchies of Baden, Luxemburg, Liniberg,
Mecklenburg- Sch werin, Mecklenburg• Strelit z, Saxe-
Weimar, and Oldenburg, the Electorate of Hesse-
Cassel, the Landgraves of Hesse-Darmstadt and
Hesse-Homburg, the Duchies of Anhalt-Dessau,
Bernburg, Kothen, Coburg-Gotha, Meiningen,
Hildb'gh'sn, Altenburg, Nassau, Brunswick, Hol-
stein, and Lauenburg, the Lordship of Kniphausen,
the Principalities of Schwartzburg Sonderhausen,
Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, Rudolstadt, Hechingen,
Lichtenstein, Waldeck, Lippe-Detmold, Schauen•
burg, Reuss-Schleitz• Lobenstein, and Reuss-Greitz,
together with the free cities of Lubeck, Frankfort,
Bremen, and Hamburgh. All these separate states,
to the number of forty, must shortly be combined
into one solid nationality, with a population of
38,664,820 souls—with a federal diet resembling less
the minor council or committee, than the general
assembly or plenum. Upon this re-adjustment of the
northern territories of Europe—a re-adjustment
which is becoming every day more inevitable—Hun-
gary must, we conceive, become once more an inde-
pendent sovereignty, and Poland re-assert and re-
conquer its nationality in the very teeth of the
AUTOCRAT.

According to the fifty-seventh article of the great
Treaty of Vienna, it was declared, " L'Autriche
presidera a la Date Federative—Austria shall preside
at the Federative Diet." That treaty, however, is
now a dead letter, its provisions having been violated
successively by the absolute and democratic Govern-
ments. Beyond this, moreover, the pre-eminence of
Austria in the Germanic Confederation has vanished.
Prussia, under the mandate of FREDERICK WILHELM,
has just aasumed the head of the popular movement,
girding its loins with a black, red, and gold scarf as
the Germanic tri-colour, and bearing in its grasp tile
sword of the Germanic race. According to the latest
accounts received from Copenhagen, it would even
appear that the Danes have renounced their allegi-
ance to the past, and that, with every loyal sentiment
towards their Sovereign, they have indicated their
enthusiasm for the futurity pictured to their iine{,eina-
tion by the proclamation of the Prussian Monarch.
Actuated by these aspirations for independence,
Sleswig- Holstein has dissolved her connexion with
the Court of Denmark, and the Provisional Govern-
ment installed at Kiel has been recognised at Altana.
From the Netherlands a similar fragment of intelli-
gence has arrived. The Count SCI ININIELPENNINCR
has organized a new Liberal Administration,
though one of a strictly provisional character.
Everywhere the disruption of obsolete systems is
visible. Everywhere the disseverance of ancient
ties may be perceived In Portugal it has conduced
to incite the existing Government to the adoption of
a retrogressive policy. Un warned by the catastrophe
of the Tuileries, FERDINAND COBURG and MARIA DA
GLORIA are making military preparations for the
prevention of an insurrectional movement. Their
ministerial advisers are obsequious in their accordance 1
with this insane determination. The escape of I
Guizoe from the Hotel des Capucines seems to be a
spectacle of no interest to themselves ; they perceive
nothing personally suggestive in the flight from
Vienna of CLEMENT Prince DE METTERNICH WIN-
NEBOURG. Endeavours of an equally extravagant
description may be germinating in the evil thoughts
of the Duchess DE RIANZARES, and preluding the way
to some sanguinary ebullition of democracy in Ma-
drid. Nothing dissipates the ignorance of those who
are inherently predisposed to Absolutism—no expe-
rience, however appalling, removes their blindness or
enables them to abandon that track which guides
them to destruction, and which destruction is ren-
dered irretrievable by their insulating and insensate
predilections. In Italy a proceeding diametrically
different has been commenced. The Milanese Lave
sounded the tocsin to the Lombards, and across the
frontiers of Sardinia, the soldiers of Piedmont have
marched side by side with the brave Savoyards, hand
in hand with the Genoese, in accordance with the
mandates from Turin, and under the banners
of CARLO A LBBRTO. There is hope, there-
fore, for the Venetians, for the Milanese,
and for the general population of Lombardy ;
there is more than hope—there is certainty. Neither
Italy nor Germany can continue any longer an un-
sympathizing agglomeration of states. Their nation-
ality is already revealing its glories to the daylight.

There will, before any protracted 4nterval has elapsed,
be an Italian League and a Germanic League. By
this means the balance of European power will be
more appreciable; it will afford a novel foundation
for a more secure and permanent tranquillity.

The Madrid mail had not arrived in Paris when

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Monileur publishes the following decree post-
poning the elections of the National Assembly for a
fortnight :

" FRENCH REPUBLIC.
" LIBERTY, EQUALITY, FRATERNITY!

" The Provisional Government, having considered
the decree which adjourns the elections of the National
Guard;

" Having considered the information given by the
Commissaries of the Departments, and the deliberation
of the Mayor of Paris;
" Inasmuch as it would be materially impossible to
adhere to the day first fixed for the general elections;
" On the report of the Minister of the Interior, de-
crees—

" lut. The general elections of the representatives of
the people shall take place on Salida'', the 23d of April.
" 2d. The Assembly shall meet on the 4th of May
next.

" Done at a Government Council hell in Paris the
26th of March, 1848.
" The Members of the Provisional Government.
" ARMAND MARRAST. " DUPONT (de L'Eure).
" GARNIER PAGES. ` " LOUIS BLANC.
" ARMS°. " LEDRU ROLLIN.
" ALBERT. " FLOCON.
" MARIE. " LAMARTINE."
" CREMIEUX.

The decree is followed by the subjoined proclama-
tion, explanatory of the motives of the Provisional
Government in ordering the postponement. After
stating that the information received showed that it
was impossible to carry out the elections at the time
originally fixed, the proclamation says :
" It is now for you, citizens, to complete the generous
work which you have undertaken. The Republic is
founded ; no intrigue, no senseless attack, can prevail
against it ; the people wills it. It will know hew to
defend that which it has known to valiantly conquer.
Let it be organized on a large basis. Let the future con-
stitution carry into our constitutions, and into the laws,
the great principles of our revolution. Let your choice
prepare the reign of liberty, equality, and fraternity.
Thanks to your assistance, citizens, the Provisional Go-
vernment has been able to this day to bear the burden of
public affairs. It does not wish, it cannot retard the
hour when it will have to deposit the power in the hands
of the sovereign authority, which is alone capable
of answering to all the wishes of France, and alone
sufficiently strong to direct the destinies of the Republic
in the path into which the magnanimous impulsion
of the people has launched them. Do not then lose
time, citizens, in discussing opinions and men. Let
these, by their virtues, by their lights, by their purity,
by the love of their country, be true representatives of
the people, and Europe will salute the new Assembly
with the same enthusiasm with which the revolution
which the people have made has been received, and
which engenders the most power ful of propagandism—
that which is inspired by admiration."

The Moniteur publishes a decree abolishing the
committee of surveillance of the sinking fund, and
of the Cuisse des Depots aux Consignations, and
placing those establishments under the Minister of
the Finances.

The Moniteur also publishes a decree allowing the
Bank of France to discount bills having only two sig-
natures, provided the third signature be replaced by
receipts fur the deposit of goods in the newly-estab-
lished Government stores.

The committee of national defence, composed of
general officers, has decided that a camp of 90,000 men
shall be formed at Dijon, and that the reserves of 1847
and 1848 shall be sent to it.

The Government paper, the National, makes the
following announcement, without adding to it one
word of comment :—" The Piedmontese troops have
entered the Milanese."

A deputation of Poles presented itself on Sunday
at the Hotel de Ville to demand arms, and to take
leave of the Provisional Government, before proceed-
ing to their own country. In the course of his
reply to the address of the deputation, M. LAMARTII4II
said
" The French Government feels for the situation of
your glorious but unhappy country. The French na-
tion has never ceased to express its sympathy fur Po-
land. It has never ceased to fed the obligation imposed
upon it by the fall of F o many thousands of your noble coun-
trymen in the ranks of the French army. You desire
aid in your present undertakin; but, with all our de-
sire for the independence and happiness of Poland, our
duties restrain us within limits, which we cannot pass.
We cherish the hope that Poland will be independent
and free, and we shall be happy to concur in her at-
tempts to secure those blessings; but the time for and
the mode of displaying our regard for her must bo left
to us. I shall add, that a peaceable movement will ad-
vance your cause more quickly and more effactually than
an appeal to arms."
Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN and Mr. MEAGHER arrived in
Paris yesterday.

The Constitutionnel announces that General PEPE
is about to proceed to Naples, with the hope of pro-
claiming a republic in that city.
A regiment of Cuirassiers, R hick was ordered by the
Minister of the Interior to enter Paris yesterday
morning, was very nearly coming into collision with
the people. At the Barrier de l'Etoile a crowd as-
semble(l, who informed the Colonel that the people of
Paris did net want soldiers, and that he should not
be allowed to enter. The Colonel replied that
his orders were to enter, and that he would do so
route que route, but that he would wait with his regi-
ment where he was until a message on the subject
could be sent to the Government at the Hotel de
Ville. In the meantime he kept possession of the
gate. In about half an hour the messenger sent to
the Hotel de Ville returned with orders that the re-
virtient was to enter the city. The crowd imme-
diately formed and attempted to stop them, but the
cavalry drawing their swords soon put them to flight,
and proceeded without further disturbance towards
the barracks.

M. ODILON BARROT addressed a meeting of the
electors of Laon on the 21st. The following is the
conclusion of his speech :

" My dear Fellow-citizens,—Above all governments
is the sovereignty of the nation! By the fall of the late
Government the people has found itself suddenly re-
possessed of all its supremacy, and it is that sovereignty
you are now about to exercise. This high mission im-
poses on you all the duties; for we can say without
exaggeration that on the choice you shall make, on the
constitution which your representatives are called on to
found, depend the destinies, not only of France, but of
the whole civilized world." He spoke slightingly of
those who would wish the people to believe they were
not educated enough to exercise the franchise; and of
those who would persuade them that there was no
necessity to have enlightened representatives. As to
the form of government, he said, " I will be the first to
recognise it, because I think that the republican form
of government is, from the present moment, at least in
fact, definitively and irrevocably acquired (acquire) to
this country. Foolish and criminal should be he who
would look back and meditate on any species of mo-
narchical restoration." Ho avowed boldly that he had
not been a republican, that all be had contemplated in
his oppositiuu for seventeen years to the Government
was to attain great reforms, and to have a perfectly
constitutional monarchy. He concluded with general
reflections on the deficiency of all government, unless
the people possessed courage and perseverance in looking
after them.

It was rumoured in Paris that a revolution was on
the eve of breaking out in Russia, which was to be
brought about by the nobles, the army, and the sons
of the priests.
BOURSE-PARIS, MONDAY, MARCH 27.
THREE O'CLOCK.-Great discouragement was mani-
fested to-day at the Bourse, and every kind of security
continued to be offered throughout the whole day's
business. The decision of the Provisional Government
to postpone the National Assembly was much discussed,
and met with very general disapprobation. It was to
that feeling in great part that must be attributed the
exceedingly heavy fall that has taken place. The Three
per Cents. opened at 44f., but declined at once, and closed
at 401. 502., or not less than 4f. lower than the last quo-
tation of Saturday ; the Five per Cents. fared still
worse, closing at 601., or 41. 50c. lower. The Four-
and-a-llalf per Cents. were negotiated for the first
time since the 10th of March, and show the enor-
mous depreciation since then of 191., closing at 58f.
llsnk of France shares have fallen 100 f., being last done
at 1,850 f. Belgian Fives are sf. lower, closing at 59f,
and Roman 3r. lower, at 53f. Piedmont are at 790 f., being
10f. lower. Railway Shares have also declined con-
siderably; Orleans show a fall of not less than 130 f.,
cl,sing as low as 515 E ; Rouen are 22f. 50c. lower, at
387 f. 50c.; Vierzon, 20f. lower, at 2201.; Northern and
Lyons, 7f. 50c. lower, at 328 f. 7 sc. ; and 292 f. 50c.;
Strasburg and Nantes, 61. 25c. lower, at 335 f. and 3311.

tical offences to be given by them.
" Eleventhly—The arming of the people, with the
power of electing their own officers.
" Twelfthly—No judge to bo dismissed or changed
but by a court of law.
This address contained also an earnest appeal to
the KING to dismiss from the Cabinet the Counts
D'ARNIAL and DE SCEWERIN. It will be presented by
twelve members of the deputation.
An extraordinary supplement of the Prussian
Gazette of the 23d March contains the following:—
"A deputation of the municipal authorities of Breslau
and Liegnitz has proposed to the King, as the wish of
the great majority of the people of those towns, a cor.-
stitution which should be founded on an agreement be-
tween the Crown and the representatives of the people,
called together by direct election. His Majesty having
heard from the deputation the main points of their pro-
position, delivered the following answer:—
" After having promised a constitution on the most
extended basis, it is my wish to publish a law for popu-
lar election, which should produce a representation em-
bracing all the interests of the people, without distinction
of religious belief, and to submit this law at once to the
Diet, the prompt convocation of which appears to me to
be the general wish of the country. I should certaialy
act contrary to this wish of the country, as far as it has
been expressed up to the present time, if I were, in ac-
cordance with your proposition, to promulgate an elec-
toral law without first submitting it to the consideration
of the states. As I count on your loyalty, I expect that
you and those who act with you will be convinced that it
is impossible for me to accede at present to your propo-
sition, and that I cannot do so until the general desire of
the country shall be the same as your own.
" ' I shall present to the new representation of my
people propositions on the following points, in accord-
ance with resolutions which I have already made
known

" • 1. For guaranteeing personal liberty.
" 2. Ou the right of association and public meeting.
" 3. On the adoption of trial by jury for criminal
affairs—that is to say, for political offences and those of
the press.
" • 4. On the general armament of the inhabitants of
towns, with free election of their chiefs.

•° On Ministerial responsibility.
" 6. On the independence of the magistracy.
" ` 7. On the abolition of privileged tribunals.
" Further, the standing army will take the oath to
the constitution.

The Austrians fled, but the Hungarians cried, Viva ,
l'ltalia r The party from Bivasco then proceeded to
Milan, and were joined o❑ the way by severcl thouspnd
men from Lomeli°, armed by Count Litta and the Mar-
quis of Erba. Oa entering the city, they found the
people in possession of six pieces of cannon, which they
had taken from the Austrians on the Piazzo del Duomo,
the fighting was going on in the streets, and great num-
bers were constantly arriving to aid the people, but rein-
forcements were also coining in to the other party. Two
thousand Genoese were on their way to Milan.
"The people of Milan were still holding out on the2oth.
A body of Swiss had forced the Porta Comasina, and
dislodged the Austrians from that post. They had
brought ammunition and provisions, and were proceed-
ing to join in the attack on the castle. The chiefs of the
movement, at Milan, tire the following persons, who
have constituted themselves a Provisional Governmen t:—
Cusati, the podesta; Ruggiero Settimo, of Milan; Rossi,
of Alessandria; Dello Croce, of Vigevano; and Guiseppe
Avogadro."
" Oa the 20th the troops had succeeded in driving the
people from the Broletto, which had been up to that
time the centre of the movement at Milan; but on the
morning of the 21st the insurgents had regained their
ground, and forced the troops to take refuge in the
Castle. Radetzky then offered to treat with the Provi-
sional Government, but received a decided negative, on
any terms but unconditional surrender. The people had
at last gained possession of the powder magazine. They
had succeeded in placing a piece of cannon on the tower
of San Celso. The magnificent marble spire of the
dome is in ruins.

" The inhabitants of Bergamo and Brescia had driven
out their garrisons, and were marching on Milan. Gen.
O'Donnell had been made prisoner by the people. The
intelligence of the arrest of the Viceroy at Brescia was
gaining ground.
" Letters from Stradella, of the 21st, confirm the
news of the insurrection of Modena."

The Nourelliste of Marseillies, of the 24th, says—

" The news which we receive from Turin fully con-
firms the facts which our correspondent at Genoa sends
us with respect to the events at Milan. In Piedmont,
as well as in Genoa, the Milanese insurrection meets
with the most ardent sympathy, and the Government,
even before having positively ascertained the character
of the insurrectionary movement, did not hesitate to
second the national enthusiasm which carries Italian
patriots to the assistance of their oppressed brethren. In
fact, on the 20th, strong detachments of artillery, and a
corps of infantry, were directed in all haste to the fron-
tier nearest to Milan. But the most significant fact that
has yet transpired at Turin is the energetic resolution
taken by Charles Albert, in consequence of the demand
for aid brought to him by a deputation of Milanese, to
enter at once upon the campaign and to march upon
Milan . Orders had also been sent by the Minister of
the Marine to send into the Adriatic all the disposable
naval forces, with directions to second the movement of
the population on the cossts. The Austrian navy would
in this case not only be incapable of measuring its
strength with that of Genoa, but it is probable that a
great majority of the sailors would juin the popular
movement."

The Semaphore de Marseilles contains the follow-
ing :

"At Milan, on the 18th instant, the people, armed
with sticks, seized on the military post at the Palace of
the Governor, and some of the soldiers were killed.
The tri-coloured Italian banner was hoisted on the
Palace. The municipal body and the Archbishop
harangued the victorious people from the balcony of the
same Palace, but their speeches could not be heard in
consequence of the confusion. Barricades Here subsee
quently constructed in the streets leading to the
Palace, as far as the Bridge of St. Damiens. The first
carriage that served to form a barricade was that of the
Vice-President of the Government, General O'Donnell.
The streets were in an instant unpaved. Not a
soldier was to be seen. According to the Concordia,
the people captured the artillery which had been
planted in front of the Cathedral and Palace.
The barricades were completed during the night
of the 18th, and on the morning of the 19th the
fusillade and cannonade commenced, and continued
the whole day. A Croatian regiment was partly
destroy( d by projectiles thrown from the windows and
roofs of the houses. The peasants arrived by thousands
from the neighbouring country, and the tocsin was rung
in all the villages. Radetsky is said either to have
retired into the Castle or fled. The viceroy departed
from Milan on the 17th, with seven carriages, escorted
by 50 gendarmes. He wept bitterly ; on his way, he
met the courier bringing an account of the insurrection
at Vienna. After reading the dispatch he struck his
forehead, and proceeded on his journey. The news pro-
daced as extraordinary sensation in Piedmont. Several
cabinet councils were held. A battery of artillery left
Turin on the 20th for Vercelli, escorted by the 14th
regiment of infantry, a portion of which was to proceed
to Novara, and another to Mortana. The Civic Guard
fraternized with the troops previous to their departure.
A deputation of Milanese, amongst whom was C. Lue-
chini, came to demand assistance. The Council of
Ministers assembled, and resolved to send off; without
delay, all the disposable force towards Lombardy. The
expedition was to be commanded by the Duke of Savoy.
The Piedmontese journals state that Lombardy had
oflered itself to Piedmont.

" Letters from Genoa inform us that the young
men of that city were enrolling themselves to march to
the relief of the Lombards. Five thousand had already
repaired to the frontier."
The Milan mail was still due at Turin on the
22d instant. The Risorginzento, however, contains
some intelligence collected oa the frontier, from
which we extract the following :
" At Arona, on the 20th, the greatest excitement pre-
vailed, and a mass of the neighbouring population, all
provided with arms, marched in the afternoon to the
relief of the Milanese. On the 21st, a steamer, full of
Swiss volunteers, arrived in the same town. A letter
from Novara of the 20th states, that the Milanese fought
most valiantly against the Austrians, who were still in
possession of the bastions, and prevented all ingress into,
and egress from, the city. The insurgents were com-
manded by Barromeo, Litta, and Casati. In the evening
of the 19th the tocsin was rung in all the adjacent vil-
lages, and the inhabitants who could procure arms at-
tacked the Austrians from without. General Radetsky
had accordingly given orders to all the troops detached
along the frontiers, and in the rural districts, to fall back
on Milan. Three hundred cavalry marched from
Pavia on the morning of the 19th, and entered Milan by
the Ticinese Gate, not, however, without sustaining a
severe loss from the fire of the neighbouring houses.
According to another letter from Novara of the 21st
inst., General Radetsky had summoned the Milanese to
surrender in t wenty• four hours, threatening, in case of
resistence, to convert their city into a heap of ruins.
The Podesta Cased replied that the people were deter-
mined to fight to the last, and were not intimidated by
his menaces. On the 20th Pavia closed its gates.
"It was reported at Turin that Modena was in open
insurrection, and that the Austrians had been driven out
of the city. Parma had also revolted, and the Duke
was believed to be a prisoner in the hands of the in-
surgents.
" On the 21st the cavalry regiments of Genoa and
s
Nizza departed from Turin to join the Piedmontese
forces collected on the line of the Ticino, and on the
youpnrgoce menjoined,eding to on theo
,
21s
and were saluted with fraternal acclamations. The
next morning they were followed by a regiment of the
guard.

Miniiter of Public Instruction had informed the students
of the university who took arms that they should not
lose the advantage of their present year of studies."

A telegraphic dispatch has been received in Paris,
announcing the entrance of the Piedmontese troops
into Lombardy to assist the insurgents.
The Austrian troops in Milan still held out (on the
