PLACE VENDOM &

PARIS, MONDAY, APRIL 11.—Sias—The column of the Place
Vendome, that monument of immortal victories, has lost for 15 years
the statue which crowned it :—this mutilation still exists—it is a sad
vestige of foreign invasion. Monuments are u history—they are as
inviolable u it—they should preserve all the national remembrances,

and yield only under the blows of time. Certainly, history will not forget
the name of the Great Captain, whose genius presided at the victories of
our Legions—of the skilful Monarch who caused order to succeed to
anarchy—rendered to religion it gave to society that immortal
code which rules us still. Happy if his glory had not cost
90 dear to the liberty of the country. Your Majesty would not
wish to tear any of the brilliant pages of History—you admire
all that which France admires, and are proud of all that which is the
pride of the nation. I would only reply to all these noble send.
ments, by proposing the re-establishment of the statue of Napoleon

upon the column of the Place Vendome. The reign of your Ma-
jesty has rendered to France, all its liberty, all its independence.
It should efface the traces of a dismal reaction: no glory should
henceforth remain in the shade ; no glorious remembrance should be,
by I know not what jealous timidity, disputed with France. The ge-
nerous and popular principles, upon which is founded the constitutional
Government of your Majesty, guarantee for ever France from the evils
attached to absolute power, and the policy of conquerors. But in ho-
nouring a great hero, in re-erecting the monument which consecrates
a remembrance in which France glorifies herself, the King forms, in
some sort, a sure tie, between the throne and the country ; and I
dare believe, that the determination, which I submit to the Royal sane,
tion, will be regarded as a just homage rendered to public right, and
as a brilliant and new proof of the force and justice of a government
wholly national, such as that of your Majesty. I am with the
most profound respect, Sire, of your Blajesty, the very humble, and very
obedient servant, the President of the Council, and Minister Secretary
of State of the Interior, CASIMIR PERIER.

THE DIPLOMACY OF FRANCE.
M. Sebastiani said, at the Tribune of France, that the
garrison of Luxembourg was composed of 3,000 Prussians
and 2,200 Belgians. The Courrier des Pays Bas replies to
M. Sebastiani, that the number of Belgians in that garri-
son, never surpassed the amount of two individuals ! In case
of the invasion of Luxembourg, it is wished, it is said, to
offer the command of the Belgian army to General La-
marque,— Constitutionnel.

Our correspondence from Belgium'gives us to understand,
that they expect with great anxiety, the effect which will be
produced at Paris, by the demonstrations made against the
conference of London. If the Regent and his Ministers
speak of war, if a great number of wise men of the Con-
gress are silent, it is not by fear that the association is
inspired, of which a denunciation would become a signal of
pillage and death. This association has just created a
Committee of War, charged to watch the measures taken
by Ministers. A supplementary credit demanded by the
Minister of War for six millions of florins has been granted.
The ministry has just received despatches from Marshal
Maison, our ambassador at Vienna, which announce that
the cabinet of Austria, after having received the news of the
taking of Ancona, and the defeat of the insurgents, still
persist in causing the troops to march upon Rome, in order
to occupy the remainder of the states of the Church, without
prejudice to negociate at a later period for the evacuation of
these provinces. With energy, our ministry could prevent
this flagrant violation of the principle of non• intervention of
Austria.— Le National.

A protestation is spoken of made by M. de Saint-Aulaire,
against the invasion of a part of the Pontifical States by the
Austrian troops. We are ignorant of it, and know not what
to believe. But it appears to us evident, that the Ministry
cannot much longer delay being challenged upon this im-
portant subject. The explanations which the President of
the Council is said to have demanded, must have been re-
ceived; and we should not be surprised if a new political
conversation was entered upon to-morrow at the Chamber.—
Demands for new credits will naturally give occasion to it.
The question of Luxembourg, to the elucidation of which
NI. Sebastiani is always enveloped in diplomatic reserve,
must also draw lively attention. The news from Belgium
shows plainly, that the storm encreases on that aide ; but it
is possible also, that the firm posture of the Belgians will
disconcert the framers of the Protocol, and cause them to
adjourn the movement of the troops of the Confederation.—
La Revolution.

Uen. Belliard arrived yesterday at Paris. It was said at
the Bourse, that his departure from Brussels had been in some
sort forced. The Journals of that city do not indicate any
thing of that kind ; nor does our private correspondent speak
of it. A decree was proposed by twenty members.
having for -bbject, the authorising the government to
confide the military commands to foreigners.

NOTIFICATION
BY THE PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED
ITALIAN ritoviscas.

" A principle proclaimed by a great nation, which had solemnly pro-
mised not to permit its violation by any European power, and the de.
claration of a guarantee given by a minister of that nation, induced us
to second the movement of the people of these provinces. All our
efforts were directed to the far from easy task of maintaining order,
amidst the agitation of an insurrection ; and we experienced a pleasure
more grateful to our hearts, in seeing the revolution conducted with all
the tranquillity of a constitutional government, and without shedding a
single drop of blood.
" But the violation of this principle, consented to by the nation which
had promulgated and guaranteed it, the Impossibility of resisting a
great Power which has already occupied part of the provinces with an
armed force, and our wish to prevent bloodshed and disorder, are the
circumstances which have induced us, with a view to the public safety,
which ought always to be the supreme law of every state, to treat with
his Eminence the moat Hey. Cardinal Man Antonio Benvenuti,
Legate-a-latere of his Holiness Gregory XVI. and to tesign to him the
government of these provinces, which has been accepted by his Emin-
ence under the subjoined conditions.•

FRENCH DIPLOMACY.

The following biting jeu desprit is from the French
Figaro:
Count fiebastianL—l hope, my Lord Ambassador, that the troops of
your master, having violated the principle of non-intervention with
respect to Romagna, will not subject themselves to the just anger of
France.

Count d'Appony.—My Lord Minister, the intentions of Austria are
so pure in this affair, that I request you Will yourself fix the time of the
sojourn of the Austrian troops in Romagna. When out soldiers have
again floated the bark of fit. Peter, they will be sufficiently recompensed
for their exertions.

Count Sebaatiani.—Tbey may set as they please, but If they stay
more than lb days is Romee.they will draw upon themselves the
vengeance of the arms of

hopes that the good understanding between the two States will never be
disturbed.

INSURRECTIONS IN THE RUSSIAN PROVINCES.

By accounts received from Memel late yesterday after-
noon, to the 3d inst. information of an important nature was
obtained. The letters mention that at Polagen, about four
miles from Memel, an engagement had taken place between
the insurgents and the Russian troops, in which the latter
were defeated. Polagen was in flames. In Volhynia there
were not less than 18,000 organized insurgents who had
risen in opposition to the Russian power. A British cou-
rier, who was on his road to St. Petersburgh, had thought
it prudent to stop at Polagen. It was said that a Russian
courier, with despatches to the army in Poland, had been
seized by the insurgents, his despatches opened, and then he
had his head cut off. The regular medium of communica-
tion had been suspended, and the rising against the Go-
vernment of Russia throughout Volhynia, Courland, and
Lithuania, was expected to become general. The insurgents
were to intercept all communications from Dantzic, from
whence the Russian army in Poland received most of their
supplies. The contents of the letters from Memel were
read with great satisfaction by persons engaged in the Rus-
sian trade.
