al Guard"
One party called out for Republic; on the
other Nj. I.aftte said, the Ministry is stronger
than the Chamber, and will prove it when
necessary. There was nstonishment and con-
fusion in the Chamber.
! The Quotidienne announces that at A o'clock
yesterday afternoon; that Journal was seized !;
and adds, that whatever may be the motive
for such severe proceeding, and tho difficulty
of existing circumstances, it is determined
without defying danger or dreading it, TO sup
port its principles. The Gazette de France
was also seized. Numerous arrests have been
made.
! From the Gazette de France Of Feb. IS.
| The crisis is at hand-we can now say SO.
| But for the National Guard the Republic
would have been proclaimed yesterday in Par
I is and what a Republic--! such one as
would have commenced in the devastation OF
/ the churches, the tearing down of the cross,
and violence against :he clergy We must say,
however, the Republican movement has gained
ground in these latter days for they have de-
livered up to it the insignia of religion, and the
emblems of royalty.
London, Feb. 81. There has been much
! gloom in the city to-day, and the slight
/ hope which prevailed early in last week,
that it was still possible the peace of Europe
might be preserved, is fast disappearing.
All are now looking to Paris, as the scene
( of more immediate danger, with the most
anxious interests and, should the present
struggle end in the subversion okthe French
( Ministry, there is scarcely merchant to be
met with on the Exchange who is not ready
to confess his fears Of the worst consequent
ces. This event is, indeed, held to be so
probable, that they begin already to discuss
the question how far war in Europe, com
menced by French aggression or interior
ence with other powers, ought to involve
this country.
! The London Globe of 22d, says An
attentive observer of our commercial men
asserts that the opinion grows that war
will soon take place on the Continent, and
that this country will be led by circumstan-
ces TO take part in it on the side of the des-
potic powers-a possibility which they look
to with natural horror and alarm. .-..
] The London Atlas of Goth, says Our
Palis letters repeat the assurance that a
perfect cordiallty subsists between England
and France, not only on the subject OF Bel
GUM, but on all other matters; and while
/ this feeling exists, they say there is srfh-
cient security for the peace of Europe.
The London Correspondent of the Liver
pool Advertiser, writes as follows, Feb. ~.
The political horizon continues lowering
every breeze that comes from France
alarms the timid and fires the brave. Will
we have war, is the general inquiry, and
numbers are found in the most influential
circles to proclaim the fearful affirmative.
Certainly the aspect of affairs on the Cont
! nent is decidedly warlike, and 1t will re-
} quire a degree of firmness and tact on the
part of the citizen King to reign in those
ardent spirits, who sigh for war and would
riot in spolation. The FreHch King has
been tried, and fear has been found want
ing; he may be wise, but certainly is not
great He wants the master mind "to ride
on the whrlwnd and direct the storm"
He is already suspected by the Republicans,
and need not add, hated by the Caviists.
The culpable negligence of the Govern
ment in permitting the late display in the
church Of st. German LAuxerrois has
eventuated in manner that the court could
never have anticipates the moderate part
of the ministry have been assailed in a
manner that fear leaves them noalternative
| but retirement; indeed the accession Of the
, ultra liberals is already con6dentally moot
: ed, which if found correct, then indeed the

ferent nature has yet arrived in the city.
Diebitsch, it is true, has passed the from
tiers with an army Of 100 to 10000 men
to meet these, about half the number oil
, Polish veterans are already on the march,
with an enthusiastic nation to support them
) The next accounts it is thought will be de-
) clslve. There are rumors of a mutlny
among the Russian troops, but could not
, trace them to any authentic source. From
Belgium, we have still uncertainty and in
trigue, and it is now said that his Dutch
Majesty will proceed single hand against
the Belgians. The deputation has left Pa
ris, and it is stated they are determined to
recommend to the Congress the establish
ment of Republic. Since writing the
} above, | find that affairs in France are
verging towards a crisis. Montaliyet, the
Minister of the Interior, has resigned, and
Odillon Barrot has obtained his seals of Of
fee; this has created great sensation in
the city.
Paris papers of Feb 19, announce the ex-
pectation of another Revolution in France,
having for its object Republican Govern
ment, and the destruction of all the Church
es strange to say, the authorities are con-
stantly pulling down the crosses from the
churches wherever the mob desire it, and
all the feurs de lis, in whatever situation
/ this emblem of. the Bourbon family is to be
! found. Even in the Chamber of Deputies,
( they have been effaced from the ceiling,
excepting "a. All the sculptured orna-
ments on the arch of the Carousal, abiding
to the victories of the Duke d'Angouleme
in Spain have been knocked off with hatch
cts, in the presence Of General Pajol. The
National Guard is dissatisfied with the
Government, and change of Ministry is
expected. A strong party for war is form
ing.
BELGIUM
On the 18th February the Belgium Deputies
had public audience, at which they profered
the throne OF Belgium to the King of the
French for the Duke of Nomours, and receiv-
ed the answer of the King, by which he declin-
ed the proffered honor. In that anwer he said
I" My first duty is to consult, above all things.
