GEN. TAYLcR's OPINIONS AT LAsr.-The
Baltimore Sun, Of Saturday, 18th inst, con-
tains the following from its Washington cor
respondent: ga letter of a decidedly impor-
tant character, has been received in Washing
ton by Gov. Brown, Of Mississippi, and it gave
rise to a very animated conversation in the
House, 1t appears from it that Gen. Taylor ie
for the tariff of I946-is opposed to an 'obaolete
idea'-thinks the war 10 just and honorable,
and that it should be vigorously prosecuted
until the Mexicans are brought to terms-that
the Rio Grande and not the Neuces, is the
Western boundary of Texas-that he was the
cause of the marching of the army from Cor
pus Christi to the Rio Grande, and by infer
ence the war was not unnecessarily and un-
c%onsti;ulionally begun by the President Of the
United States.' This tallies with another ex-
preston Of Gen. Taylor, that 'no friend of
mine is opposed to the war; The General is
also opposed to the Wilmot Proviso."

Russia.

In Russia orders have been issued by the
Emperor TO put the utmost amount OF militia
-y force in fighting order.
HANovER,-In Hanover, the spirit Of reform
has declareditself in equally significant modes
On the 18th inst, a vastmultitude assembled
before the palace. The crowd was informed
that the king was ildisposed. The cIamorln-
creased, and in about an hou, the Grown Coun-
cillors prevailed up n the King Qate Duke Of
Cumberland, son of George the Third to ac-
cede the demand ofthe people. The censorship
oil the press was abolished, the sitting of the
States again declared public, and general am
nesty was granted. No disorder took place.
SAxoNY.-In Saxony similar events have oc-
Cured. The King has been compelled to con-
woke the Diet; The censorship Of the press is
abolished; trial by jury, religious freedom,
and other %salutary reforms are secured. The
Duke Of Brunswick has been compelled to fol-
low the example Of the King Of Saxony.
BAVARIA in Bavaria the eternal Lola Mon
tez, who persists in haunting Munich with her
hateful presence has again occasioned tumul-
tuous disorders, during which the palace win
dows have been demolished. The troops have
however represed the riot and Lola Montez
has been sent 10 Frankfort. The King is al
legged to have come to the determination to
abdicate Immediately after the opening Of the
Chambers, and to take up his residence in Sic
lily.
BADEN.-In Baden, an insurrection of the
peasantry in the mountainous parts is fearful
ly on the increase. At Constance q republic
bas been proclaimed.
B~ELeiuM.-In Belgium, the chief event has
been the suspension Of cash payments by the
two great banks.
SICILY has obtained the constitutional 1915
and seems resolved to enjoy a free government
independent ol'NeapoIltan thraldom.
SARDINA.-Serious disturbances have occur
red in Sardinia. AT CRANBERRY, on the l4tl
instant, cries for a Republic were uttered, Blu
the military restored tranquility. 1t is repor
ported that the King Of Sardinia has consente t
to the convocation Of q constituent Nationa
Assembly and that he only holds the admins
~tration of the country until its meeting which
is to take place without delay.
sPA1N.-In Spain the general tranquility ha
not been disturbed. t.. #..
PoETUeAI.-The English feet having beef
withdrawn from Tagus, some apprehension
is felt in many quarters that Portugal ma,
again become the scene Of intestine strife
At present all is quiet.
RoME.-It is stated in a letter from Rom,
that proposals are now under consideration
by the Pope, for abolishing the c%elibacy of tn,
clergy.

EDUcArIoN.-We are happy to inform 'PhilO,
that we have been promised by an able writer,
and ex perienced teacher, a series Of commu-
n~icatlcns on the subject of schools and edaca-
tion. The fact is that a large majority Of our
Legislators are very ignorant on the subject Of
school system, and need much information
On the subjectsand We suppose 1t was con-
seriousness Of this ignorance, together with the
lamentable failure ofthe 6 browning measurer
otthe previous session, that deferred them from
attempting any thing like the establishment Of
q State system. Until the next election we
hope that the press and the people will endeav-
or to obtain and diffuss as much information as
possible, and that those who then seek to be.
come law makers, will be called upon to give
their views fully on this subject. Let us no
be content with the mere assertion Of a candi
date that he is in favor Of a system Of common
schools, but let us compel him to explain BIZ
system and discuss it with, and before US, and
our word FOR il, something that will be usefu
will Be done.

Mr.. EDITOR: The subjected common schools,
was before our legislature, last winter; they
passed no general law on that subject, be-
lieve.
had hoped, they would have produced a
common n school system for the state.
A system of general education is Of vast
Importance, to a young and rising state, and
demands our early attention.
1t will be nearly two years, before we have
another session Of the Legislature; before that
time, I hope the matter will be agitated by
the people. and their views expressed, and
some system matured; the form of a bill pre-
sented to the public, that the next session Of
the legislature may give 1.-THE sanction Of law.
We need schools in every section Of the
state, 10 educate all white children, above five
years Of age, without distinction, in all the
branches Of common schools; viz: reading,
writing, grammar, geography, &c.
Ihope some able pen will take this matter in
hand. PHlLO.

FOf We creole.
Mr.. ED1rok-If the future is to be Judged
by the past, every true lover of his liberty and
country should be at his post in full armor array.
1t certainly does not require tho fureknowl-
edge of a prophet to predict the result OF GER
tain events.
We see the approach Of a great contest be-
tween the Eagle Of Liberty and the Lyon Of
despotism, this event has long been looked for
by the observing mind, but wonderful are the
thoughts of man, when he sees the direction Of
causes which alone can produce the result;
only look back for the last few years and see
the wonderful and many struggles Of the ma
tons of the earth to avoid this fermentation,
and yet it appears that everr act has had the
effect to speed its consummation. The period
may not have arrived for the struggle and,
slaughter to commence, and God forbid it to
ever come, yet it is the duty of every son of
liberty and free institutions in this happy land
of Washington, and throughout the world, TO
be on the outer post and ready to meet the
great contest, and if possible to divert its'bIows
from the American continent, and thereby be
ready and prepared at the first favorable mo-
ment to step forward with the olive branch of
peace, as a boon to the contending parties.
This fetches to our reflection and deep me-
Citation who should b. that distinguished per-
sonage, to be selected by the freeman Of this
great and happy Republic to bear this emblem
(of brotherly love and peace to all n%ations) to
the contending powers Of Europe? Some, no
doubt, will say it should be the Parlor states-
man Of which class we have many Of great
distinction and ability, and who would be safe
at the helm of state while the calm lasteth, but
when the mighty tornado which is now gath
sring in the land Of Kings and Monarchs in the
east reaches this peaceful and happy land, and
we sac that bird of liberty, (who watched over
and conducted our fathers to this land and
home, and to their libertyO p%roclaiming liber-
~ to all men in letters Of sun beams Of light
on its %pinions, who should then be at the head
Of this great nation of lreemcn to keep them al
proper balance? Certainly not the man who
has stood at the distance Of thousands Of miles
from the field of blood and carnage where the
cries, and groans, the deaths of the soldier i:
not witnessed or felt. To avoid dangers and
difficulties, we should select the man who has
perriled them all; Of this class of great ant
good men, no nation are permitted to be bless
ed with many in the same generation, ant
amongst the few we have been permitted to
raise up, we have in the person of Gen. 2
Taylor all those great and good qualities tc
conduct US through the mighty tempest.
Should the great evil Of a national war be.
fall the nations of Europe, how stands it with
the United States with an open and unguarded
boundary on our north of six thousand miles

Prussia.

A bighIy respectable house in this city has
a letter from a friend at Hamburg, giving de-
tailsSof the events in Berlin up TO the 2lst
March. The struggle between the people and
the troops, appears to have been much more
severe and the slaughter much greater than re-
presented by the published accounts The
people obtained possession Of 10 or "a pieces OF
artillery, with which they effected great havoc.
and fought, not only from behind the barri-
cades, but also from the housetops, and finally
compelled the troops to abandon the city. VI
the latter there were 10000 engaged. The
letter states that the Indignation is very great
against the Prince orPrussia, heir to the throne,
who gave the orders for the cavalry 10 charge
on the people. He had been obliged TO quit
Berlin, and the people demanded that he should
be deprived of the succession to the throne.
The armed National Guard had possession Of
the Palace.
The Cologne Gazette says:
"The contest has ceased, after fourteen
hours duration, and, thanks TO the traditional
attachment Of the Prussians to the family of
their Sovereign, Frederick William has, at
least Professionally, preserved his throne But
neverwas Prince in greater danger.
We have already detailed the events Of the
18th, but owing to an unexpected attack Of the
troops, the combat recommended with new
fury. The nights Of the 18th and 10th were
terrible, and the students armed themselves,
and led the multitude. All the citizens, (bour-
g~eoiste), and the inhabitants, threw themselves
into the combat. The streets were immediate
Iy unpaved, and gigantic barbados were raised,
from the tops OF which, foated the German
flag, red, black and gold.
"The troops were held in check, in every
quarter, and from the tops of the houses tiles
and stones were rained upon them. A wei
sustained fire answered to the discharges Of the
p~latoons. The sharp-shoosers Of the Guarc
Joined the people, and guided them in the at
tack and defence. The artillery barracks and
thesfoundary were storned, and given to thu
flames.
GAS in Paris, the victims Of the firing Of thu
18th, were placed on a car and carried through
the streets, followed by an innumerable crow
Of citizens, uncovered. They halted before
the Palace, and with loud cries demanded the
King.
"The combat thus continued until 10 o.
clock in the morning, and if it had been pro
longed and Frederick William been obstinate
his reign would have closed, But he gave
way and ordered the troops to eyacuate the
city, and published a supplicpting proclama'
ton, him self appearing in the balcony Of the
Palace, andharangued the people. He announc
ed that his Ministry had been changed, anc
thOthe should detain Them as prisoners"
Thus has this modern revolution been &C
complished by the spirit of ths people, and

songs.
