will not only lberate all Lombardy, but threaten

people of Hanover is complete.

The Emperor of Russia has ordered every man
in Russian Poland, between the ages of Is and 80
years, TO march to the interior, and is concenra

knowledge the French Republic.
Disturbances have occurred at Madrid between
the soldiers and people. Many killed on

conflict.
A Parliament has been constituted in Sicily
The separation from Naples is complete
The French Government has ordered an army
TO assemble the frontiers of Italy watch tho

but was willing 10 remedy any grievances. Ac-
counts from Ireland are menacng additional
| troops were arriving from England. The Repeal
ers in Dublin were equally energetic and support
ed by the Provinces, which are electing delegates
! TO council of three hundred, to assemble at Lii
verpoo to keep within the limits prescribed by tho
Convention Act. II was expected that Dublin
would be placed under the operation of the recent
Arms Act, and that all pixies and arms would be
required to be given up. The Repeaers openly
say, the repeal of the union is not sufficient to
satisfy the public grievances. A republic is the
only remedy for tie evils under which the country
groans.
The great Chartst demonstration to come of
on the 10TH has been forbidden by the English

The European Times says sit is not possible to
conjecture how matters may terminate, bit
earnest hope is that the people may have prudence
enough to keep out of evil, and the Ministry pru-
dence enough 10 concede all the reforms the people
demand, compatible with the onward march Of the
times, and the spirit of the British constitution"

public demonstrations against thei. own Govern
