somewhat in the disappointment of Lord BEAUMONT,
we are far from despairing of the regeneration
of Poland ; far more willingly do we coincide in
the hopeful assurances of Lord DUDLEY' STUART,
who on the same occasion oleclared his conviction
that "it was impossible to see France completely
free, Italy shaking off the yoke, and Germany vindi-
cating her nationality, and not to hope and not to feel
that the progress of Poland towards the attainment of
her rights must be accelerated." Yes, the emancipa-
tion of Poland must be accelerated by the recent Re-
volutions. That the resurrection of Poland must be
1 an inevitable consequence of the European Revolu-
Oion, we entertain no runner cf doubt. It may, par-

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Charge d'Affaires of Portugal announced on
Tuesday to the Minister for Foreign Affairs the
desire of his Government to establish and maintain
the most friendly relations with the French Republic.
ABD-EL-KADER arrived at Pau at midnight on the
24th. He was immediately, together with his suite,
consisting of eighty persons, conveyed to the Castle.
in Paris all were on the tiieoe of expectation for
the opening of the National Assembly this day.

and in the Re forme of yesterday he defends the
rioters of Limoges and Rouen, and denounces the
Government and the authorities. lie talks about.
the massacre of the people who have been butchered
at Rouen, ani denounces the persons employed by
the Govt rnment to inquire into the matter as
creatures of Louis PHILIPPE and CHARLES X.; that
their presence is an insult to the majesty of the
Republic ; and that whatever report they may make,
he, as Minister of the Interior, will spurn them into
the dust. He then turns round and apostrophises

against the hideous butchers and bourgeoisie of
Rouen.
The following declaration of the Societe des Droits
de l'Homme, which had been placarded about Paris
on Monday, and afterwards torn down by order of
the Provisional Government, was yesterday distri-

point of view, the old constitution is abolished, and that
which is called to replace it must rest on equality.
solidarity, and fraternity, the fundamental principles of
the new social compact. Consequently, the social
revolution, now at its curnmeocement, places it
self between the petits and the privileged ot
the ancient state of society. To the first it says—
be united but calm, for in this lies your strength. Your
number is such that it must sale(' to manifest your will
and make you obtain all you desire. It is also such that
you cannot desire any thing but what is just. Your
voice and your will are the voice and the will of God.
To ihe others it says—the old social torn. has disap
eased. The reign ot privilege and exploitation is passed .
In the point ot view or the ancient social form, if th,
privileges with which you were invested were acquired
in a legal manner, do not avail yourselves of them; these
laws were your work; the immense majority of your
brethren were strangers to them, and, therefore, are not
bound to respect them. Rally then together, for you
have need of the pardon of those whom you have so long
sacrificed. If, in spite of this promise of pardon, you
persist in remaining isolated in order to den nd the
social turin, you will find in the van-guard, on the day
of conflict, our sections organized, and your brethren
will no longer hold towards you the language of pardon,
but that of justice.

The ultras at Marseilles attempted an emote on the
08th, but the authorities succeeded in repressing the
rioters, and in preserving the public tranquillity.
The Journal de .Rouen, of the 2d instant, mentions
that M. DESCHAMPS, the Government Commissary,
had resigned his powers to M. HirroLreE DussAßn,
who had announced in a very conciliatory proclama.
tion his appointment to that post. The choice of the
latter for the office had produced the best effect. The
uil and the judiciary pro-
city was perfectly tranquil,
c. edings commenced against the revolters of Rouen
and Elbeuf were conducted with considerable
activity. Twenty persons arrested at Elbeuf were
conveyed to Rouen on the Ist by a strong escort of
National Guards, and several leaders of the move-
ment at Rouen, amongst whom was one of the prin-
cipal club orators, M. AIATHIEU D'EPINAL, were
apprehended on the same day.
The following from the Constitutionnel exposes an-
other of the unprincipled and tyrannical proceedings
which M. LEDRU ROLLIN everywhere adopts in
order to secure to himself the dictatorship:—
" We had announced," says the Constitutionnel,
" that M. Delecleuze, Commissary'-General of the De-
partment of the North, had tecdered his resignation,
and that it had been accepted. That fact, which we
derived from a quarter we had every reason to regard
as authentic, was accurate ou Saturday, but is no longer
so to-day. M. Deleeliuze has been reinstated in his
functions with fracas. The inhabitants of Lille, on
awaking this murniug, found the following placard
posted on the walls of the city :
" Tete MEMBER uF THE PRuVISIONAL GOVERNMENT

Citlz,n Commissary- General,— I cannot accept the
resignation you tender me in your last dispatch. It is
indispensable for the int. rests of the Republic that you
should remain at the head of the Department of the
North. You have rendered there enormous services, and
in the difficult times we are placed you may have
Occasion to render others. If, in a Republic, eminent
functions should belong to the most devoted citizens,
you are entitled to preserve yours. I know yon to have

M. LUCIEN MURAT, son of the late King of NA-
PLES, has been elected deputy in the department cf
the Lot. Two', clergymen and M. PARISIS, Bishop
of Langres, had been returned in the department of
Morbihan.
The whole of the returns of the members elected
fee the National Assembly have not yet been re-
ceived, but enough has transpired to show that the
number of Legititnists who have found their way into
the Assembly is much ,larger than was previously
supposed. The violent Republicans; or thoie who
look to LEDRU-ROLLIN and Lours BLANC as their
leaders, will, it is supposed, muster about 100 votes,
the Legitimists and concealed Monarchists from 250
to 300 votes, and the moderate Republicans not more
than 500 votes.
The papers openly accuse M. LEDRU Ronr,irt of
being the instigator of the riots which have taken
place at Marseilles, Limoges, and Rouen.
The Commerce says—
" What is most serious at Limoges is the complicit)
of all the authorities in the plot of the Communists. It
was the Colonel of the National Guard who betrayed
his soldiers, and placed them in the power of the dis-
turbers. It is a substitute of the Procureur-General
who serves as secretary to the lesurrectional Comi4
formed by the ouvriers. Such detections are deplorable.
Under the Republie, to betray the Government is to
oetray the people, for the Government is but the ex-
pression of the will of the people.
A conflict, which might have had the most
serious consequences, took place yesterday at the
Ministry of the Interior. The post there is mounted
at the spine time by the Garde Republicaine and
the National Guard. The detachment of the
Garde Republicaine is composed of Montagnards,
and is specially attached to the person of the
Minister. They have not, consequently, the
mot d'ordre. Yesterday, the chief of these
Montagnards entered the post of the National
Guard, and on the refusal of the lieutenant com-
manding it to give him the word, he dared to lay
hands on him ; the lieutenant immediately called to
arms, and ordered his men to arrest him ; bat the
entire party of Montagnards, consisting of 60 men,
having likewise taken up arms, the National Guard
of whom there were only about 20 present, were
obliged to give way.
A proses verbal was immediately drawn up, and a
report made in the presence of all the officers of the
legion, who have resolved to resign if the chief of the
Montagnards be not punished. The affair has caused
a considerable noise in the neighbourhood, and the
consequences might have been very serious had the
National Guards been less patient or in greater force.
The Moniteur contains a great number of decrees
regulating affairs in the colonies, which have been
changed in consequence of the abolition of slavery.
The Moniteur also publishes a decree uniting the
banks of Bordeaux and Nantes to the Batik of France.
They were not included in the former measure estab-
lishing the Bank of France as the only bank of issue
in the Republic.
M. ALBERT has resigned the presidency of the
commission of national recompenses, and the duties of
that office are henceforth to be united to those of the
Mayor of Paris.
The Moniteur, publishes a series of decrees re-
organizing the Cour de Comte:. The number of
conseillers• ',mitres is reduced from Dit to 12; the
number of conseillers referendaires of the first class
is reduced from 18 to 15, and of the second class
from 62 to 55. The mode of appointing to these
new offices is alo ‘..hanged. The President of the
Court, M. BARTHE, is dismissed, as well as MM.
BARADA, BIGNON, RITIERE DE LARQUE, PAYRE,
and Da LOYNES, who held the office of Councillors,
and who were members of the ex-Chamber of De-
puties. M. CHARLES TESTE, the son of the unfor-
tunate Minister of that name, and several others, are
also dismissed. M. SAvErt DE SURGY is appointed
President.
The following Consuls have been appointed :—M.
SEivrts, Consul tit Valencia; M. MELAYSIES, Consul
at Edinburgh; M. PHILIPPI, Consul at Cadiz; M.
TIIYONS, Consul at Yassy ; M. A. MESNAULT, Consul-
General at Bucharest.
The Generals and Admirals who have been lately
removed from active service by the decree of
the Provisional Goveriinleut have addressed a pro-

Madrid papers of the 28; h have been received.
Her AIAJESTT has issued a decree, countersigned
by NARVAEZ, abandoning all claim to the arrears due
o the royal household, which amount to nearly one
million sterling.
At the drawing• room held on the 27th, her
MAJESTY bestowed the Grand Cross of the Order
of Charles 111. on all the Ministers who have not
-.treacly had that honour conferred on them.
It was said that on the 26th Mr. BULWER had re-
ceived dispatches from the English Foreign office.
-xpressing the entire approval by the English Uovern•
tricot of Mr. BULWER'S conduct in sending the not,
of remonstrance and advice to the Spanish Govern
inept. Mr. BULWER attended the drawing-room on
the 27th.
Some disturbances had broken out in Valentin,
which had, however been suppressed, and the rin4-
leaders had been arrested. Ihe people of Saragossa
complained of being subjected to an imposing mili•
tary intimidation, whilst the Carlists were roaming
:Lbout Lower Arragon, levying contributions, ano
laity increaaing their forces.
General IRIARTE has e.:caped from Spain anti
