The Royal Nail Steamer Cambria, which
arrived at Boston on the I8th INST, broght
news from France of most startling charac-
ter. 4 Revolution as bloody as unlocked for.
has burst forth in Paris. The ROYAL family
left France and sought refuge in England
The French throne has been publicly burned
and Republic proclaimed. This, we inia-
CINE, is but the commencement of great
Revolution throughout Europe. The people
have long been ripe for LIBERTY, and the fire
which IS now kindled, will, in all probability
burn until the crowned heads of the esst sahl,
be consumed in one general eon1agration.
We gather the following particulars from
The Chicago Journal:
Accounts from Paris state that the family
OF Lonis Philippe has abdicated the throne.
and the royal family have left France, and
are said to have landed at Dover.
The National Guard joined the people on
the % ut.. and at , O'Clock the Palqis Roy-
n was attacked and storned when dread
ful and bloody conflict cnsued during which
it is said nine thousand Frenchnen lost their
lives, The Palais Royal was gained and sack
ed by the Infatuated populace
The Regency under the Duchess of Orleans
was proposed and rejected.
Tho Chambers refused to allow the family
of Louis Philippe to resign the throne.
All Paris was under the utmest excitement,
and in the hands Of the National Guard and
People. A Republic has been proclaimed.-
The new Ministry was iestallcd. The meet
ing of the cx-Chamber of z GERS has been in
terdicted, All communication with Paris, ci-
Their by railroad or diligence was suspended.
The new Ministry recommended that the
people assume a bold stand, and form them
selves into revolutionary attitude. All
classes, high and low, take part in the revolu-
ton. The Tuuerics were sacked by the en-
ragged multitude, and furniture burned.
The people and guard occupy all the streets
and the provincial government was establish
ed amid voslrerous cries of gire Ia RepuJligue
rius Ia RcpuJliqpeE
The Throne Of Louis Philippe was carried
through the streets by dense throug, and
publicly burned

IMPORTANT FROM CHNA.-The Sea
Witch has arrived at New York from
China, in seventy-seven days, the shor-

telligence of sad disturbances,in which
the British residents had become in
yolved. Four out of six British mer-
chants had been decapitated, and sew

share the same fate. The bodies of
the dead were restored. and all was
seemingly quiet on the 2Gth December
though fears were entertained for the
future.

The principles and rules which ought 10
serve as a guide in the reading of history.
form what is called Criticism and I under
stand by it, not that art which stops to restore
passages, or 10 verify the variabeness OF a

facts, 70 examine proofs, to distinguish reality
from fiction. Finally, that art which teaches
how TO weigh the different degrees of Ger
tainty; to fix and settle. if to speak thus be
permissible, the different shadows Of truth
and probability; art ofthe greatest utility and
OF vast extent; it is properly a logic Of facts
as necessary TO direct the judgment in the

JuIEN DONKEY IN T.iE FIELD

I JOHN DONKEY IN THE FIELD!
That stupid but immortal individual, John Dom
key. Of Yankecdom, following the example of the
Great Embodiment, is ut length in the .fe!a for
the Presidency. John Donkey has given publ
city the following address, authorizing his
to be presented to the National Convention
TO TIE PUBLIC.
Tho various and conflicting reports which my
friends have ut various times (but constantly
against my wiilO caused To he circulated in re-
gard TO my intentions with respect To the approach
ing canvass in relation to the next Presidency APP
pear to furnish proper occasion Tor "A full,
free, frank and explicit exposition of my feelings,
sensations, desires. hopes, wishes views and ex-
pectaions on that subject. This it is now proper
10 make With Il strong Discrimination to the use
of my name in connection with that Office, (Which
my past life has strkngly lustrated,) left
my stable just as the last crop of grass was be-
ginning to be cut into, with full determination
to announce to the public in some suitable form
my desire not to be thought of candidate
Upon getting out in the world once more how
ever all my old aspirations came back upon me in
full force, and ! determined To try it once more
for the last.
Accordingly, within the last three months, my
friends, seeing the direction in which my molina
tons pointed have represented to me on all occa-
sions suitable and unsuitable, that was the only
hope of the country, and that the great Donkey
party woald inevitably be dissolved, If withdrew
especially in the free States, where own such
large numbers of slaves that ut no former period
was there good chance OF my election as ut
present, and that the great States of Commune
paw and UnadiIia would almost certainly cast
their votes for me that Communipaw would more
certainly bestow her suffrage upon me than upon
any other candidate, and that Unadia would give
her vote TO no candidate who did not wear whis-
kers but me that there is a better prospect than
has heretofore at any time existed that Shirt-Ta
Bend itself would unite with them; that no can
didate can be elected without the concurrence of
two oft these three great and powerful States, and
none could be defeated upon whom they should all
unite; that great numbers of our feIlow-citizens,
both " Natives" and q bloody foreigners" who
were deceived, and therefore voted for me at the
last election, eager to do again, and that all
things considered, am just the boy for President
Since my return to my stable, / have calmly de-
liberated on all these matters, and have used up
several states in cyphering up the result, by which
am convinced that my duty to my friends, nv
conscience and myself, demands that should sac
rifice the great repugnance have for being be-
fore the public, and should consent to become once
more candidate In the mean time, take plea
sure in informing such of my friends as may have
pledged themselves to old WHEY, that am not
angry with them, and that they may all vote for
me, the same as if it hadn't happened
