BY THE STEAMSHIP CAMBRIA.
The following is given in the London pa
pers as the latest Telegraphic Despatch:-
r 1s.e Dover, Feb. 81, 10, A. NJ.
The Parisians will not receive the young
CoSnt Of Paris as their king, and have de-
claTed in favor of a republic, and it is ru-
mored the republican flag is now flying over
-Paris---lny authority received it from the
post master at Paris. The mail from Pa

none arrived. -
$50 The Resume of the Whole.
The London News, of February 10Th,
says:-The popular cause has triumphed
once more in Paris, and against an army OF
loo 900 men. 1t has triumphed this time,
fortunately, not after three days of carnage
and struggle, but by the moral attitude of
tho population. The national guard, the
middle class of the citizens, joined with the
lower orders in offering resistance, and this
suficed. French soldiers are citizens too,
and however ready to sweep away few
idle rioters, they were not prepared to treat
AZ foes, and to decimate with grape shot,
the united and thFonging population of the
metropolis. The example~is pregnant
one, and the lesson such as every monarch
and every minister must ponder over
/, Neither must provoke, for neither can over
come, the hostility Of a million voices, not
to speak Of million arms. Voices alone
have, in the present case, suffced to over
throw one of the oldest and strongest gov
ernments, headed by the shrewdest king,
and having at its command most power
: full army, led by an experienced and deter
mined general, and possessing every means
aof influencing and ensuring that army's f.
deity, which character, talents, long sue
cess, and unbounded resources could bestow.
The London Telegraph, Feb. 26th says:
The greatest revolution of our time, the
overthrow of the whole system Of govern
ment, founded on coercion, has been more
completely and suddenly accomplished than
we ventured yesterday to hope. The reign
of Louis Philippe has come to a deserved
and shameful end. Democracy, which is
the true character of the French nation, the
whole soil being divided into small proper
ties. prevails in the state. The attempt to
establish in bureaucracy, headed by mon
arch, has failed in the hands of the most re-
nowned politician of the age, attended by
every advantage. The triumph is not over
a man, but over a great untruth. The flag
Of republicanism floats once more orer
Framos-the flag Of equal rights a'adhon-
orable freedom.
A biHIlas passed the House of Ierds au-
thorizing diplomatic relations with Rome.
1t was decided, on motion of the Duke of
Wellington, that the Pope should be stiled
Sovereign of the Roman States and not
Sovereig gn'PontifE. Also that the representa-
tive deputed to this eounty should not be an
ecclesiastic. |
In the House of Commons the bill for the |
removal of the Jewish disabilities has passed
by majority of 73. Ithas yet to encoun-
ter the bigotry of the Lords.
The King of SARDINIA has voluntary pub
lished constitution for his subjects, on the
basis of the French charter. 1t establishes
two Legislative chambers, one ele;ective, the
other to be nominated by the King for life.
All laws imposing taxes are to originate in
the electiv Chamber, and each article, in
deed, of the constitution seems fair and lib-
eral, with the exception of one which ap-
pears Irish and equivccal-namely, "The
press will be free but subject to repressive
Jaws" 5
9 The Grand Duke of Tuscany has follow
ed the example Of the King of sardina-
despite an injunction from. Austria forbid
ding him as an Archduke of that country to
take any such step.
:: The Meapolitans have had three days Of
rejoicing for their constitution. Del. Car
reto, the obnoxious minister of police, who
was obliged to fly from the fury of the peo-
pie, had escaped to Marseilles, where in the
present temper Of France, he is hardly like
~ to find very cordial welcome. 5"z<'a
!, At Palermo, the comma anding general had
been driven by the people TO evacuate the
island, after having Wantonly bombarded
the city. A provisional government has
been appointed, of which Admiral Ruggero
Settimo, one of the most esteemed inhab
tants, is the head. The people have con-
Quoted themselves admirably, and will now
be content without an Independent parlia-
.ment of their own. The King, by his con-
cessions of Naples, had succeeded in effect
ing what anticipated, namely, a division
Of sympathy between the Neapoltans and
Sicilians, after the former had obtained by
The bravery Of the latter, all that they could
desire. The Neap apolitans now think the
Stella ms are asking too much. -
There has been an enaeute at Vienna, but
of course il was speedily tIodden down. AT
Milan III horses of the Imperial Artillery
had been secretly poisoned. In the pre-
sent state Of Europe, these systems are
worth, noticing.
In Bavaria, Lola Montez, who first made
use of her influences over to old king in favor
of liberalism and against the Jesuits, aP-
pears afterwards to have gone over to the
latter party who had learned the necessity
of cepciliaing her, The result has been
popular insurrection, which ended in her
house being pulled down, and in her being
arrested and sent off, by the command OF
the Minister, in post-chaise to Switzer-
land. The ..doting king perilled both his
life and crown to save her, and she now as
serts that aahe will abdicate and follow her."
In Switzerland allis quiet. Russia, how
ever, has minated to the Diet, that she
considers the last events in that country to
be violation of cantonial sovereignty, and
that consequently, he does not feel bound to
