The Royal mail steamer Caledonia was tele
graphed off the harbor to-day, having sailed
from Europe on the 18th ult. By this arrival
we have the following deeply interesting and
important news:
The French revolution, accounts of which
were received by the Cambria, has been COM
plete. The abdication of Louis Philippe is
confirmed, and the establishment of regency
has been totally rejected, rendering the struggle
of the revolutionists most complete. The Pari-
slams have triumphed over the army, and sue
ceeded in the establishment of provisional
government. Upon the erection of republi-
can form of government, the House of Peers was
overthrown and all titles disregarded.
The entire Orleans family has fed to other
parts of the country to avoid the storm that
would surround them should they remain in
Paris. Whittier they have taken theirhght is
unknown. The ministers of the old govern
ment accompanied The royal family. The new
republic has been acknowledged by England,
Belgium, Switzerland, and the United States,
through their representatives at Paris.
In Belgium and Switzerland, provisional
governments have also been established, both
having fallen in rapid succession into the same
spirit which animated the Parisans. The peo-
pie in these countries are celebrated through
out the world for genius eloquence and science.
Some of them are of almost romantic char
acter.
Carried away by the eloquence of La MARITIME
the excited and ungovernabIe mob of Paris threw
down their muskets, which in the first fury of
their new born liberty they had leveled against
this popular leader, and by their unanimous
shouts invested in him the provisional govern
nent with full authority of the State.
Paris, February 29.-Mr. Rush, the ambas-
sador of the United States, accompanied BY Mr..
Barton and Mr.. Pensin, waited on the mem

he made most flattering address, and made a
formal recognition of their authority.
/ Paris, March 9.-The latest advices repre-
sent the city as tranquil, but the financial eri-
sis was undated. Eminent houses are spoken
as in the greatest difficulties, but no further
failures have been announced. Funds have
fallen considerably. On the 9Th the 3 per cent
were quoted at 30 francs, and after having been
down to 46 francs, closed at AZ; while the 5
per cent. opened at IS fancs, were down to "a

sad and gloomy. Men came and offered their
securities for money at whatever price they
could get, but scarcely buyer could be found.

luton reached Vienna on the LIST of March, and
produced a profound impression. The Arch

being not to meet their engagements.
