THE REVOLUTION IN FRANCE

PARIS, SUNDAY.
The National Guard are nobly preserving peace up to
,e present moment. All classes are animated with the

greatest enthusiasm.
Paris is perfectly tranquil.
The penalty of death has been abolished for political
offences.

There has been some very severe fighting between the
military and the people at Strasburgh.
Tie Republic has been formally announced by the Pro-
visional Government, and royalty abolished. The United
States Minister has recognised the Provisional Govern-
ment. Bordeaux has acknowledged the Republic. The
Provisional Government has decreed the immediate esta-
ki;ampot of national workshops. A meeting of. Peers
ad'

has been held, and a resolution to adhere to the Republic
adopted. Property of every kind belonging to the Crown
confiscated. '

Bou Maza has made his escape. Dreadful commotion
at Amiens, but the troops have declared for the Republic.
Loss of life on both sides estimated at 500. The Duchess
of Orleans has, it is rumoured, been arrested at Rouen.
At Madrid no Bourse held. A deputation from Belgium
has formally announced the accomplishment of the revo-
lution at. Lille. Admiral Baudin has left to take command
of the Mediterranean fleet. After executing his commis-
sion he sails for Italy. Algeria is declared an integral part
of France.

The Provisional Government is stated to have at its
disposal 135,000,000 f. at the Bank of France, and
55,000,000 f. at the Treasury.

ournals of Monday announce the perfect
reestablishment of tranquillity in the capital, and the ar-
rival of " adhesions" from the departments. They refer,
however, to horrible outrages in the vicinity of the metro-
polis, and in an especial manner at Rouen, where the po-
litical agitation was made the pretext for a brutal demon-
stration against the English workmen on the railroads,
and the burning of the wooden bridge of the Havre rail-
road. The Provisional Government was working with
energy for the reorganisation of all the public offices. All
the accounts from the departments announced the rising
of the people and the recognition of the Republic. The
army was equally and similarly unanimous. At Toulouse,
where a Legitimist expression had been feared, the Re.
public had been proclaimed with acclamation. The whole
of the Thiers and Odillon Barrot parties had rallied round
the Provisional Government. The first Marshal who has
given his adhesion to the Republic is Marshal Bugeaud.
The hospital list shows that the number of wounded is
428, of whom 350 are civilians and 78 military. On Sun-
day, the 27th ult., a numerous band of incendiaries pro-
ceeded to Maisons Lafitte, near Paris, with the intention

took up aims, but not being strong enough to oppose the
:►anditti, they sent for assistance to St. Germain-en-Lave.
A large detachment of National Guards of that town, ac-
companied by a squadron of dragoons, who each carried
behind him an armed citizen, immediately proceeded to
Maisons, where they arrived in time to prevent the de-
struction of the bridge. They then attacked the incen-
diaries, killed eight of them, and made a considerable
number prisoners. The incendiaries, nineteen in number,
who burnet't the bridge of Asnieres, have been arrested
after an obstinate resistance, in which one of them was
killed. They were conducted by the National Guards of
the Batignoles to the Prefecture, and confined in the Con-

ciergerie.

off to St. Cloud at such a rate that when they had crossed
the bridge the horse was too exhausted to mount the hill
leading to the Chateau. Several men pushed the carriage
up, however. After taking some papers the ex-King en-

sailles and thence to Trianon. lie in a short time entered
a travelling carriage, but before leaving the park he saw
at a distance, approaching towards him, six men on horse-

He, therefore, ordered the coachman to atop, alighted,
and ran into a guard-house at the gate of the park, near
the railroad station (Montretout), and concealed himself
behind a stove. The men having passed, an aide-de-camp
informed him that there was no danger. He accordingly
reentered the carriage and drove off. At the village called
ILa Queue, on the road to Dreux, he was joined by the
Dukes of Nemours and Montpensier. Further than that
he then went on to Eu and embarked at Treport on board
