LIVERPOOL, Feb. 29th.
All Europe during the last few days has
been in fermentation. Paris-France, pouure
Francois again the theatre of insurrecton
and rebellion. Affairs in France are looked
upon by many as likely to affect, more or less,
most of the European countries, Switzerland,
Italy, England. The success OF the citizens of
Paris will, it is thought, have the effect of
screwing up the courage Of the patriots OF Italy
to the sticking place. How will it act on the
SiciIian pulse? Will monarchy be declared at
an end there, too? Lola Monies es-that won.

Bavaria with her own liberal opinions; and, as
turbulent movements, by the success OF sedltlous
achievements, are contagious, the mere symp-

On Wednesday evening, the 23d ints., an
immense concourse of the populace, principal
of the working classes, il is said, appeared at
the Boulevards, the leaders bearing blazing
torches; aud with one voice this concourse
"Mourie pour Ia patrie,
C'est lie sort lie plus beau, le plus dgne d'enve!"
A collision with the troops was looked for by
the beholders: but the leaders fled off shouting,
ssoipe Ia igne," and ''down with Guizot!'
The pillars along the Boulevards were thrown
down to form barricades, and the stone and iron
benches were made similar use of. This was
done to prevent the movement of cavalry and
artillery in the event OF an attack. On the no.
tel of Foreign Affairs was placarded grand ap.
partrement louer,' and elsewhere, 'Maison du
Peuple.' At about IL o'clock in the morning.
an authentic proclamation was exhibited as FOL.

not fatally wounded in his efforts to suppress
disorder. The Paais Royal was sacked.
