lnsurrection aud anarchy, the offspring Of
France, soon crossed the German frontier
and spread themselves in every direction
with an audacity which has gained new
force in proportion TO the concessions Of
the governments.
This devastating plague has at last at.
tackled our allies the Empire of Austria
aud the kingdom of Prussia, and to-day,
in its blind fury, meuaces our Russia
that Russia which God has confded to
our care. Heaven forbid that this should
be. Faithful to the example handed
down from our ancestors, having first in
voked the aid of the Omuipotent. we are
ready to encounter our enemies from any
side they may present themselves, and
without Spariug our own persons, we will
know how, indissoluhIy united to our
country, To defend the honor Of the Rus

| march through the Metropolis, Notwithstanding

Great preparations were making to deieatit The
order forbidding the Reform Banquets dethroued
the French King; this order of the English Gov
ernment may have a similar tendency.
The deputaton of the Irish RepeaIers were le-
ceived by NJ. De Lamartine alone. The follow
is the concluding portion of his address:
We belong to no party in Ireland or
elsewhere, except that which contends
for Justice, for liberty, and for the happi-
ness of the Irish people. No other part
would be acceptable 10 us in a time O
peace. In the interest and passions o
foreign nations, France is desirous of re
serving herself free for the maintenance
of the rights of all. We are at peace
and we are desirous of remaining on gooC
terms of equality, not with this or tha
part of Great Britain, but with Grea
Britain entire. We believe this peace tC
be useful and honorable, not only to Grea
Britain and the French Republic, but ,c
the human race. We will not commit al
act, we will not utter word, we will no
breathe an insinuation at variance will
the principles of the reciprocal inyiola
bility of nations which we have proclaim
ed, and Of which the continent of Europe
is already gathering the fruits. The fal
len monarchy had treaties and diplomat
lists. Our diplomatists are nations. Our
treaties arc sympathies We should be
insane were we openly to exchange suct
a diplomacy for uumeaning and partial al
liances, with even the most legitimate
parties in the countries which surrount
us. We are not competent either Il
= Judge them, or to prefer some of them II
others BY announcing our partizaushiI
. of the one side we should declare ou
selves the enemies of the other We d,
not wish to be the enemies of any of you
ellow-counirymen; we wish, on the con
trary, by faithful observance Of the Re
publican pledges, 20 remove all the pre-
: iudices which may mutually exist be
tween our neighbors and ourselves. Thi
course, however painful it may be, is i'm
posed on US by the law of nations as wei
as by our historical remembranCes. ID,
you know what it was which mos; served
to irritate France and estrange her from
England during the first Republic! l
f was the civil, in a portion of our lerritor,
supported, subsidized, and assisted b,
Mr.. Pitt; it was the encouragement an,
the arms given to Frenchmen asheroica
as yourselves, but Frenchmen fighting a
gainst their fellow citizens; this was no
honorable warfare, it was Royalst prop
pagandism waged with French blood a
gainst the Republic. This policy is nj
yet, in spite of all our efforts, entirely e.
faced from the memory of the nation. :
Well this cause of dissenton betwee
Great Britain and us, we will never r,
new by taking any similar course. w
