We take the following from Galignani of the
18th.
The Provisional Government appears great
ly embarrassed to know what system It can
adopt to check the list of votes at the elections
This is matter of great difficulty, for as every
electeE will have to inscribe as many names
as there are to be deputies, there will be some
millions of names inscribed. Thus as there
are about 800 900 electors in the department of
The Seine, and as there are 81 deputies to be
returned, there will have to be, surprising all
the electors to vote; 100000 times 81 names
written, or IN ali DO 100000. The Provision
al Government, however, calculates that only
from 100000 to 1000 600 citizens at most will
take part in the elections, and that no candi-
date can be elected without having about 3d.
900 or 10000 votes. The Government has

The Project of Police,- NJ. Caussidere, has
published an appeal to the working classes to
refrain from taking part in the promenades and

turn them TO their own advantage.

France to supply them with arms.
ENGLAND.
The Queen and the Infant Princess were as
well as could be expected.
AUSTRIA.
No later dates from Austria than the 18th of
March from Vienna. Private letters state the
probability that notwithstanding his conces-
sions the Emperor ferdinand would be COM
PEELED to leave his throne when the people
should learn of the turn affairs had taken at
Berlin.
PRUSSIA.
The sitting of the deputies of the city of Bre-
slau, on the 9th, was one of extreme impor-
lancer The following resolutions were passed
with stormy acclamations;
1.-The Immediate arming of the Burghers.

every alliance with Russia that has reference
TO coercing he Southern States ofGermany
80. To dismiss the present Cabinet and re-
place 1t BY men who possess the public con-
fidence."
The disturbances which took place on the
18th, during which division of the Cuirassers
fell upon the unofending multitude, have had
the worst consequences.
A the general in command refused to supply
the burghers with arms the district assoc iations
resolved that every man should arm himself az
best he could, and repair at six in the evening
to an appointed rendezvous,
In the brief space of one hour, every gun
shop was cleared of its arms at high prices; tbs
students had their raplers sharpened by tn,
knife grinders in the streets, and every bod,
put on the black, red, and gold cockade anC
ribands.

were Imprisoned for high treason, was forcibl
effected. After this the buFghers took posses
sions of all the principal posts of the city an,
the night passed off with tolerable quiet and or
der.

ed, win be undertaken at the expense of tn
city of Berlin.
Count Won Armin has been confirmed in.th
Ministry for Foreign Affairs, and still is Presl
dent of the Ministry pro tenn.
REPUBLIC PROCLAIMED IN PRUSSIA.
A telegraph despatch, dated Metz, Marc
oath, states that Republic has been proclaim
ed at Berlin. The King had been dethroned
and his Majesty and ministers arrested.
Royalty Inundated, exhausted, after blood
collisions, which, with the least foresight
wisdom might so easily have been prevented
must now disappear from Prussian ground.
The people are not satisfied with simply de
ministers prisoners. The Temple after til
10th of August has come again.
We hope that the similarity of fate betwee
Louis XVI and Frederick William will go II
further. Liberty is magnaniinous and does nj
strike powerless enemy.
The results of the proclamation of republi
at Berlin are immense. Berlin is the heart
Germany as Paris is of France and hencefort
the Germanic Union becomes reality.
RUSSIA.
The following is the preamble to the Ukas
of the Gar Of Russia, ordering an army Of 80
900 men into the field:
Events have occurred in the west of Euror
which betray the bad intention of destroyin
all legal authority. The treaty and alliance
which unite Russia and the United States
Germany, imposes upon US the sacred duty
take timely measures by placing part Of OF
army in the fed, so, that if events require /
we may interpose a solid barrier to the destru,
tive flood of anarchy.
