Seven days later European news was received in
this city yesterday, and issued in an extra of the
Picayune, to which we are indebted for our COM
pend Though interesting it is not by any means
ofhigh Importance. France is comparatively quiet
nothing serious having followed from a demonstra-
ton, particularized below, against Lamartine We
are glad to that the commercial tidings are, al
least, no worse; indeed, they may be called more
cheerful
In reading the following extracts--particularly
those relating to Ireland-it cannot be too carefully
borne In mind, that they come through channels
which certainly tinge them with coloring false to
human rights.and to the liberal side, in the great
struggle now going on abroad:
More fighting had taken place between the Aus
tfians and ltalians-tle war bids fair to be pro-
tracted one.
The Chartist convention yet hold their meetings
in London. In Scotland they are organizing in
great numbers.

The whole Of tllatpar of Europe" says the
European lines. s. which skirts the Rhine, and
borders OH France, seems quite disoreaniZed The
Duchy of Baden, and the secret societies of Ger

res, seem organizing an armed invasion. AT Hesse

FRANCE.
On the 10th April, Says Ga7ignani) there was a
demonstration at Paris, got up by the most violent
of the clubs and communists, for the purpose of up
setting the Provisional Government, ora all events,
expellIng NJ. Lamartlne and other moderate men,
bers, who have hitherto succeeded in preventing
republicanism from running 4iot, saved the nation
from reign of blood and terror such as that which
disgraced and ruined the first revolution and from
a state of things desired by too many of the flaming
patriots and sodisant philosophers of the day, I'M
der which every thing shall belong to every BODY
Most happily, the National Guards stood firm, and
presented so imposing attitude in defence of the
Provisional Government and public order, that the
display passed off without any overt attempts pretty
much in the same style as our own chartist demon
straMon on Monday, the 10th inst, to which the
movement bore very considerable resemblance
Yesterday, 10000 troops of the line We're to assem-
bic in Paris, for the first time since the revolution
to fraternlZe with the National Guards and the peo-
pie; and if this be done cordially and with sinceri
ty, the Provisional Government may be considered
safe against all attempts of its enemies, and of the
enemies of order and the public peace.
The Moniteur of the 20th contains proclama-
ton by the Provisional Government, of which we

citizens assemble to discuss the highest questions of
politics. The Government protects the clubs But |
that liberty may have its fruits, beware of giving
cause of alann-remember that alarm gives rise to
contra revolutionary reaction. Hfree discussion be
right discussion, with in our hands is dam
ger, it may become oppression. If the liberty of
The clubs is OF the most nviolabe conquests of
The revolution, armed clubs may compromise that |
liberty, excite the worst passions and bring about
civil war;
1t then interdicts the clubs from being armed du-
ing their deliberations.
The Moniteur also publishes decree granting an |
amnesty TO all deseferS from the sea and land SER
vice, who may surrender within two months if |
within the French territory, and six months if cut

The Moniteur publishes an important Decree le-

Galignant says: The exact amount of the debts |
