HE FRENCH REvoLurIoN-ITs EFFECTS IN
NEW YORK. Since the arrival of the news by
the last steamer, announcing the movement in
favor OF republican freedom In France, new or
ganizatioa, in favor of the spread of republican
principles, has been effected, extending itself
amongst the various classes of our French,
German, Italian, Swiss Irish, and other adopted
Citizens, who are to hold mass meeting in the
Park, on the arrival of the next steamer.
| We find, on reference to many of our exchange
papers, that this feeling is spreading through the
| Union !; and we have had manifestations on the
same subject already in Congress. A feature in
the proceedings held at The meeting which orr
ginated this movement, gives new character TO
the sgitafion on the subject of Ireland's liberia
ton This is, first, the creation of fund O.
one million Of dollars, to be retain ed in Ameri-
ca, and 10 be used under the direction of local
committee, according to the exigencies required
IN the case of Ireland. Another feature is, the
connecting with this organization the native and
adopted citizens, without reference to country
or cline; and also the proclaimed intention to
send two delegates TO France, with view TO
Insure the earnest cooperation of that nation in
the cause of Ireland's freedom.
Ia the present convulsed state of feeling on
the European conference.-the discomfort prevail
ing among the masses III Epgland-and the ex
asperated, the desperate, condition of the Irish
people-ws should not be at all surprised to see
this new plan of agitation succeed. The repeal
delusiou has almost vanished from the land; and
the persons who have composed the repeal party
are Disguised with the disgraceful squsbbling
now carried on among the different sections of
the repeal party in Ireland. We saw the hollow
game that had been played by O'Connell on the
subject of repeal and il he were sincere,
his course in 1874 towards this country, would
never have been pursued. His coarse and ribald
attacks upon America, had the effect to ALLEVIATE
the advocates of Irsand's freedom from her
cause; and now that he is no more, and that we
fad so determined spirit prevail in favor of re-
publican freedom in Ireland, we may look for
renewed and vigorous agitation on the subject
here. Hitherto the Irish, as mere Irish >
party, have had a national distinctness, or ex
cusiveness, in their movements that operated
lnjuriously to their own interests; and the new
plan or scheme of agitation, with its object pro-
claimed, will undoubtedly make it popular in
this country.
The meeting TO be held in the Park to address
France, will, it is understood, unfold the policy
of the new agitation. 1t is expected to be
large one, and the different countries will be re-
presented on the occasion. The French revo-
luton, it would appear, has set our adopted citi-
zens in general on the move, in favor of the
extension of republican freedom all over Europe.
This is but the beginning of the end.'

NEW FRENCH JoURNAL.-We understand that
Preparations are making for the publication of a
new French journal, to be issued daily. at two
cents, or three cents, copy, and distributed TO
the French and other residents, of this city, on
the same plan as the other daily papers are. 1t
will probably be printed on a sheet of smaller
size than the Heraia-will have room for adver-
tisements, and all the news OF the day, both from
Europe and from the South, and have the means
of giving this news much later and much fuller
than any French journal ever attempted TO do in
this metropolis.
The recent eveEts In Europe have created
so much excitement and anxiety for intelligence
from France and the Continent, tina we have no
doubt daily journal of this description, if con-
Quoted with proper enterprise and talent, and
giving the earliest political news of all kinds
we have no doubt, such a journal, price two or
three cents-wouid soon attain the largest circu-
lation of any French newspaper in this country.
As soon as the preparations shall have been
completed, further limitations will be given of
the next step in its progress. 1t will be issued
from the Herald office. Vast improvements are
now gong on In this est Establishment, in the way OF
presses, machinery and other things, which will
require a few weeksyet to complete. Mr. Hoe, the
ingenious inventor of new rotary printing pre- 50,
one OF the most wonderful inventions Of the age,
has returned from Europe, and is now busily en-
gagged in completing the machinery for the Herald
establishment, where this new French paper will
be printed and published. Ali the arrangements
now IN existence, and recently made, by the pro-
prletor OF tue Herald, both in Europe and IN this
country, for the early receipt of domestic and TO-
reign intelligence, will be freely used and appro-
prlated In the new French paper, and translated
Immediately, so that it will appear Simultaneous
Iy with the earliest published by the other ne w.
plpers of New York. Heretofore the French
journals published in New York have been gene
rally too much behind time in publishing impor-
tant domestic and foreig intelligence This has
oeen great drawback to them, and to the French
md other Europeans who read French. This
difficulty will be avoided in the new project.
Premiums TO Members OF CoNGREss.-Now
that the war with Mexico is ended, the treaty
safe on lis way for ratification, and the ten reei-
ment bill soon to be passed, we know not what
the newspapers will do in order 10 obtain
matter to fill up their columns. There is, how.
ever, still good deal of raw material in Con
gress-some of 1t very raw-out OF which some
thing or other of interest may be manufactured
| The members Of Congress receive only eight
dollars day. We will, however, promise t.
pay the following list of premums-in the same
way that the agricultural societies ADVERTISE
premiums for fat bulls and prime heifers-so as
