We are again indebted to the polite attention
Of Mr.. WHlTcoMB of fremont House, Boston, for
an early copy of Wilmer and Smiths European
Times.
The news from England and Ireland is of an
exciting and important character. The London
Times says
"Almost last in the crowd of revolutions, and
COMPOUNDED with them, there are three cases of
downright invasion in various stages of progress.
The King of Sardinia has actually invaded the
Italian dominons of Austria the King OF Prus-
STA and other German Sovereigns are preparing
to invade the German dominions of the King of
Denmark and the French republic is on the
point of invading the whole dominons of his
Majesty the King of the Belgians,
ENGLAND.
The political state of Great-Britain does not
appear to have changed since the departure OF
the Sarah Sands. The great Chartist meeting,
which was to have been held on the 3D. instant,
was postponed to the 10th. OF the designs OF
this meeting, we take the following from the
proceedings in the House of Commons OF April
g. In answer to a question from one OF the
members Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary,
said
Ibeg to state that now hold in my hand

three individuals, one of whom terms himself
Secretary '-secretary, presume, ottle Chart
list Association. In this notice it is stated that
"A Convention, consisting of toriy-nne dele
gates, elected at immense public meetings, at as

Charles Wlmer's Times says -

the streets of the metropolis, but even its assem-
blage on kensington-common, has been issued
Notwithstanding the government proclama-
ton forbiddng the Chartlst meeting on Monday,

the procession will take place, and requesting
therein that all persons attending it should act
peaceably and orderly.
