The fermentation in Europe is still increasing,
and Republicanism is spreading, but not without
signs OF opposition from the Aulocrat Of Russia.
A Republic has been declared in Prussia, and
the King, Frederick William Nv, and his Minis

made good his escape 10 England.

all the reforms and extension OF their liberties
that they demanded.
England still firmly protests against the Mont

IL is eIpeciei that, Notwithstanding The conces-

compelled TO a%bdicale, TO make way Tor a repub-
lie.
The Emperor OF Russia mas issued a ukase or

Some disturbances have taken place at Lyons
and Havre between the people and soldiery, but
they were easily quclled.
The rumored Polish Revolution is fully con-
firmcd by this arrival, but nothing further receiv-
ed as TO its prospects or progress.
Nothing later is received BY this arrival from
Eogland and Ireland than was brought BY The
Hibernis, consequently there is no later CONNER
cial intelligence.

In Prussia there has been another cTneute,
which resulted in the proclamation OF a repnbilc
