Nicaraguans had been taken up by the British naval com-

unpleasantness. The Vixen, British steamer, having on
board the aforesaid king and Mr. Walker, the British

landed a small force, took possession of the town and fort,

who had been' employed in the great spinning mill at
Rouen, called the Foundre, and who, in consequence of

HOUSE OF

COMMONS.-TUESDAY

Lord ASHLEY reported from the Lyme Regis election
committee that T. N. Abdy, Esq., had been duly elected.
Mr. LABOUCHERE, in reply to Mr. Hume, stated,
with reference to Van Dieman's Land and Australian
colonies, that the Government hoped to be able, before
the close of the session, to propose measures for extend-
ing fr

nister of the Interior in preparing for the elections.
A commission is appointed for distribUtief, funds neces-
sary for f:l2 service of religion, and the proervation and

The King of Prussia, in closing the session of the state
on the 6th, made a remarkable speech in favour of peace ;
but he added, if treaties be broken, or an attack mack on

commendations from several eminent physicians of Phila-

the theory and practice of medicine in the New York
University.

On Wednesday, a highly-respectable and numerously
attended meeting of English residents at Paris was held at
Meurice's Hotel, Col. Fletcher in the chair, when an ad-
dress to the French Provisional Government, drawn up
by Captain Boyle, R.N., was agreed to. The address,
whilst cautiously abstaining from an expression of opinion
as to particular forms of government, congratulated the
people upon their courage in vindication of a just right,
and their moderation in the hour of victory—the National
Guard upon their admirable exertions in protecting life
and property—and the Provisional Government for the
wisdom of their measures in critical and trying circum-
stances. The address expressed strong hopes for4he con-
tinuance of amicable feeling between the people of both
nations. Many of those present bore testimony to the
kindly spirit manifested towards the English by all classes
since the late change of government. One gentleman who
held a considerable amount of investments in French Se-
curities, declared his intention of not sacrificing one pen-
nyworth of what he had purchased, and his hopeful and
confident tone was responded to by others.
Our Paris despatches, dated Thursday evening, confirm
the account of the resignation of Prince Metternich, in
consequence of the emperor having rejected his advice to
grant concessions to Lombardy, Bohemia, and Hungary.
Much apprehension of disturbance is felt at Vienna and
throughout the imperial dominions. The Provisional Go-
vernment have issued a proclamation advising the people
to pay their taxes, that the government might be relieved.
Tranquillity prevailed.

A conversation ensued between Mr. Milncs and Sir G.
Grey relative to the proceedings in Trafalgar-square, the
right hon. baronet stating, with regard to the collisions
between the people and the police, that the consequences
which had followed had all been comprised in the break-

The events of to-day (says the correspondent of the
Daily News, writing on Monday) have been untoward.
The Provisional Minister of Finance has resigned. The
Bourse was to have been re-opened, and all the agens-de-
chanye were assembled, ready to commence business,
when, unexpectedly, soon after one o'clock, an order ar-
rived from the Minister of the Interior, forbidding its
opening till further orders. It is understood that bargains
had been made for purchases and sales of the Threes at 60.
Gouin's bank stopped payment to-day. This bank had
done much business for the petit commerce of Paris. It
is reported that its liabilities are fifty-five millions. Con-
tradictory reports are circulated as to its assets. I am
told in one quarter that they are considerable, while I hear
hear from another that they bear but a small proportion
to the liabilities. However it be, this failure must pro-
duce great temporary distress. Gouin was banker to the
conservative party in the chamber, who have withdrawn
their capital, which is assigned as the immediate cause of
the failure. Gamier Pages takes the Ministry of Finance.
Advices from Paris of Tuesday evening announce that
the Bourse had been re-opened amidst great excitement.
A melodramatic deputation of Americans waited upon the
Provisional Government on Monday, and, according to
the custom of republicans, taking upon tbem to speak in
the name of the United States, they presented M. Arago
with an American and a French flag united. _ _

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY.
Mr. LABOUCHERE, in reply to Mr. F. Scott, stated that
tColonial Secretary hoped, before the close of the ses-
sion, in consequence of representations from Australia, to
bring in a bill for separating the government of New South
Wales from that of Port Philip. His noble friend had
also under his consideration whether it would not be ne-
cessary in that bill to introduce certain other alterations
in the constitution of New South Wales.

THE PROSPERITY AND FALL OF LOUIS
PHILIPPE.

Sir B. HALL, in reply to Mr. Hamilton, stated that it
was his intention to take the sense of the house, in com-
mittee of ways and means, upon the proposition of which
he had given notice, for extending the income tax to Ire-
land.

The following extracts from the leading articles of the
Times are interesting, the one setting forth the immedi-
ate cause of the success of the mob in Paris ; the other
pourtraying Louis Philippe in the plenitute of his power.
First, the cause :
"After Count Mole's failure, the King sent for M.
Thiers. That gentleman may be said to have actually
formed a Cabinet in conjunction with M. Odillon Barrot
and M. Duvergier de Hauranne, for they instantly pro-
ceeded to the discharge of the highest possible duty which
could devolve on Ministerial responsibility. The one act
of their government was the publication of that incon-
ceivable proclamation stating that no further resistance
should be made, and the promulgation of orders to the
officers commanding regiments to withdraw them. This
was, of course, the capitulation of the Monarchy. Mar-
shal Bugeaud, who had the command of the troops, and
had now completed his preparations for a general attack
on the barricades, and was confident of success,protested
most energetically against this extraordinary order, and
said that if it was acted on all was lost. The King's then
Ministers, M. Thiers and M. Barrot, insisted; the King
took their advice, and Marshal Bugeaud resigned the
command of the troops, observing that it was useless for
him to retain it if nothing was to be done. General La-
moriciere was therefore named to the command of Paris,
and M. Thiers and his friends proceeded to effect their
pacific arrangements. The effects of their orders were
immediately perceptible, although the declaration of their
names was certainly not followed by the consequences
they had anticipated. The officers of the army, indig-
nant at so unexpected a termination of their duties,
sheathed their swords, the men allowed themselves to be
disarmed by the mob, whom they had been ordered not
to resist, and the people encountering no serious opposi-
tion from the Municipal Guard, which was cut to pieces,
rushed on to the conquest of the Palais Royal and the
Tuileries. To sum up this narrative in two words, the
dismissal of the Guizot Government rendered it impossi-
ble for the Executive Government to act effectually ; the
subsequent advice of M. Thiers and the resignation of
Marshal Bugeaud rendered it impossible to act at all. If
this be, as we have every reason to believe it is, a correct
narrative of these transactions, we are not surprised that
M. Thiers and his colleagues should not have madethem-
selves conspicuous in the subsequent passages of this re-
volution."
Now the picture
" This day fortnight Louis Philippe Was the most
prosperous, the most powerful, and accounted the ablest
Sovereign in the world. if the reader will just think of
it, he will find that this wonderful man had attained the
very- acme. of success, consideration, and power. It isa

It was soon found that these gentry were not of the most
honest kind. For they contrived to force open doors and
drawers, and to pass objects of value through the gratings
of the Tuilefies, to coma anions outside. At first food was
sent to them, as to soldiers on a post, but this being with-
held, they con' trived to procure some. At last the Prefect,
Caussidiere, &egged them to dislodge. Theyrefused flatly,
declared that they had fifty rounds of ammunition per
man, and would first set fire to the Chateau, if attacked,
and then fight their way out. How dislodge these des-
perate men An assault could scarcely be asked of the
good citizens w.ho compose the National Guard—police
there is as yet none. The soldiers have declined to at-
tack the people. The only corps that could be got were
the youth of the: College of St. Cyr—i.e., the sons of the
best families of t,he kingdom. The prefect accepted their
offer of reducing the brigands; and the latter was sum-
moned last night'. In reply. they offered to decamp on
condition that each one of them was to have a pension of
800 francs a-year, and that none of them were to be
searched on marching out. The Prefect refused the honest
terms, and gave tiam until ten this morning to submit.
At ten this mothnNig the boys of St. Cyr, well armed,
marched into the a turt of the Tuileries, with a crowd of
Parisians gathered thousands strong, to witness the fun of
the chateau taken by storm. They were in partdisap-
pointed • for the brigands, frightened at the determined
aspect of the St. Cyr scholars, consented to march out
without setting fire to the palace. Some were searched ;
all had dollars in abundance. Some were marched to the
Hotel de Ville, and some escaped.

The house went into committee of ways and means on
the income tax resolution ; but the debate principally re-
solved itself into one of free trade and protection, accord-
ing to the views of the various speakers. The votes of
the hon members, however, would be thus distributed
:
In favour of the government proposition of continuing the
tax for three years—Mr. J. Wilson, Mr. Miles, Mr. Bro-

Mr. Hume's amendment, of limitation to one year—Mr.

Halifax, arrived in the Mersey on Saturday morning, at
half-past one o'clock. She brought advices from New
York to the 27th ult.) 5.40,000 in specie, and thirty-four
passengers.
On the 21st ult. the venerable John Quincy Adams was
seized with apoplexy in his seat in the House of Repre-
sentatives, and died on the following night. Another
account states that'he died in the house, in the Speaker's
room, and adds—" Congress marked its sense of the
mournful event by immediately adjourning for a week.
All the •party bickerings that had passed between the
members but a moment before were hushed on the in-
stant. The citizens of the capital partook of a like feel-
ing,business was suspended, and a general gloom took
possession of every one, so.much so that several persons
put on mourning. ' All the cities of the Union had tes-
tified their respect for the memory of the deceased. His
public career commenced in 1781, when he was but 15
years of age.

The meeting of Gen. Taylor's friends, at New York,
which had been adjourned to the 22d, was held on that
