Highly Important News from Europe-At-
tempt MT Instruction In Paris.
BY the arrival of the splendid steamship United
States at this port, after remarkably short pas
sage OF thirteen days and half from Liverpool,
we have received four days later intelligence from
Europe, which is of highly exciting and lmpor-
tant character.
AT present we have time only to refer to that part
OF the intelligence relating to France 1t appears
that the Fourierites Socialists whatever else
those scoundrelly disorganizers may be called not
content with the defeat which they and their
principles received the recent election for men,
bers of the National Assembly, have attempted
not only to force their doctrines the republic but
have actually made effort to overthrow the ex-
listing government in that country, and re-
produce the anarchy, bloodshed and horror
which characterized the reign of terror at
ter the first revolution. The attempt, how
ever, was happily unsuccessful, and beyond the
momentary confusion which the high-handed
outrage created, there was no great trouble or ex
citement. 1t appears from the report of their pro-
ceedings, which we publish in another column
but which is no doubt exaggerated to certain ex-
tent, tor we take 1t from an English paper-that
these disorganizers and anarchists headed by the
notorious Louis Blanc, forcibly entered the Ma
tional Assembly, maltreated the members, de-
manded declaration of war by France against
the oppressors of Poland and Italy, and the ap-
pointment of minister of labor, to form part of
the government. The Assembly demeaned them
selves like men and patriots They were warned
of the outbreak, and were firm; finally they left
their seats; the hall was taken possession of by
the disorganzers, one of whom proclaimed the
dissolution of the Assembly, in the name of the
people; another, the levying of thousand mil
lions of francs on the property of the rich
tor the benefit of the poor; and doubtless they
would have continued their uproar longer, were
1t not that the cowardly dsorganizers heard
the National Guards beat to arms, at which they
hastily left the Hail. There was no conflict in the
Streets 1t does not appear that the people, properly
speaking, took part in this disgraceful proceeding;
but there is no question that it was an attempt by
the Fourerites ,or Communists, to overtun the 60
vernment, and establish another in its stead, COM
posed of Louis Blanc and his disorganizing asso-
clates In Fourierlsm, under the plea of demanding
assistance for Poland;bu which, happily for France
tor Europe, and the cause of republicanism else
where, was put down. AS the Chamber
was thus hastily evacuated by the revolutionlsts,
the National Assembly resumed its sitting and its
deliberations, and at the last accounts all was quiet
the French capital.
On this occasion the mask of Fourierism or social
Ism, was cast aside in the excitement of the moment
and the monster stood naked in its deformty, in the
broad day light 1t cannot exist except in agrarian
tumult and is ever found arrayed against the exist
ing order of things. pistol is pointed at the head
OF every man of property, and MURDER revolution
and plage are the weapons by which it can ever
succeed. The same conduct marked the career of
the ant-renters in this State, sustained by the Iri
bune of this city, who are nothing but Fourierites
under another name. They brrned, devastated
and destroyed, until they were put down by the
good sense of the people, their associates in
France have recently been put down by the moral
force displayed by the National Guard who, to their
honor be it told, stood firmly by the government
and would, if necessary, have shot the scoundrels
down like dogs in the streets of Paris, as they de-
served to be, fit necessary do so for the pre-
servation of the government, and the continuance
of law and order in the republic
We have no doubt that the National Assembly will
assist the Poles and also the Italians, and will like
wise appoint department for the organization of
labor. The two former, 1t was its intention to do
and by carrying out the latter, it will be giving
Louis Blanc and his Fourierite supporters a rope
with which to hang themselves.
We have more faith than ever in the perma-
nence of the French republic. The people, the
National Guards, and the Garde Mobile are sound.
Public opinion is sound, and the republic will last
We refer our readers to our columns for news
from other parts of the Continent, which is highly
exciting, having no time to say anything more
to-day-but every thing looks like general war
in Europe.
Political MovEMENrS.-To-night, the wing
friends of General Taylor will hold their last
popular meeting at Lafayette Hall, previous to the
meeting of the wing convention. 1t will proba-
bly, be large meeting. If they have any speaking,
we trust the orators will confnc themselves to
sound sense, and not launch into any fanfaronade.
On Monday, the 18th of June the democratic
general committee of Tammany Hail. have called
mass meeting, to respond to the nomination of
Cass and Butler. This looks rather squally for the
bambumers in this region. The committee
passed the resolution in favor of the Baltimore
nominations, by n vote Of twenty-four to twelve.
1t is said that John Van Buren, intends to make
speech, somewhere, on next Wednesday, against
the Baltimore nominations also, that on the 22d
of this month"; convention is to he held at Utica,
for a new nomination for the Presidency, by the
bamburners. If the wing convention should next
week nominate General Taylor, the barn-burners
will be finished if they nominate Mr.. Clay, the
bam-burners may rally around General Taylor,
whether he is in favor of or against the Wilmot
proviso.
