The French Revolution-The Latest Par
,culars. Courier des' Etats Unis con-
aims the following items of interest, which
Ire not in the English papers:
PARIS, Friday, Feb. 25, 1848
All danger has ceased. The complete ST.
Ience which reigned toward midnight, on ac-
count of the barricades, which prevented the
passage of all vehicles, appeared strange and
The most profound calm existed
through the night, broken only from time to
time by the qui vire of an amateur sentinel,
who wished to prove his vigilance. The red
banner has been everywhere unturled in place
of the tri-color.
At 5 o'clock the Provisional Government
assembled at the Hotel de Vile, surrounded
by the people, armed and full of generous en-
thusasm Louis Branc proclaimed the Re-
public in the midst of tremendous applause
Lamartne had already addressed the people
in the great hall, and excited the most pro-
found feeling. Ledru Rollin, who followed
him, made, it is said, a most remarkable ad-
dress
Generals Bedeau and Lamoricere then ad-
vanced to offer their services The first was
named Commander of the first division of the
military, and Minister of War. The second
is making preparations to set out for the from
tier
The act of abdication, signed by the King
before leaving the Tuileries, is, it is said, eX-
ceedingly aconic, and conceived, very nearly
in these terms :-s'I abdicate to the hands of
the French people, on the head of my grand
son, the crown which have received from
the French Naton.'e
Obstinacy of the French King.-The obsti-
macy of Louis Philippe and I'M. Guizot, in re-
fusing reform and otherwise resisting the de-
sires of the French people, finds no apologists
in any quarter, save, perhaps, family, with
the National lnteiligencer, at Washington.
The London norning Herald very properly
remarks, on this sub ject, as follows:
''Of the fallen ministers we desire to speak
with no unnecessary harshness, but we owe
it to truth and to justice to declare our belief
that had they, early in the season, brought
forward moderate plan of reform, extending
the franchise beyond the small fraction Of $780,
600 electors, who alone exercise it among a
population of $4,000, 00O-had they announ-
ced their intention to repeal the obnoxious ar
ticles OF the Code Penal, which forbid the as
semblage of more than twenty persons-had
they expressed a resolve to punish corruption
whatsoever and wheresoever detected-they
might still have occupied the high position
from which they have been recently so sum-
marily and so unceremoniously elected. But
disregarding the warnings of sincere friends
and the reproaches of open enemies, the
French ministers persevered III course of stiff
and unbendng resistance, where to have yiel
ded would have been the truest policy and the
highest wisdom. bali. Sun.

The Toll of Il Newspaper lit
erature is link in the great chain of mira
cles which prove the greatness of England
and every support should be given to news
papers. The editors of these papers mus
have most enormous task. 1t is not tn
writing of the leading article itself, but th
obligation to write that article every week
whether inclined or not, in sickness or il
health, in afflction or disease of the mind
winter and summer, year after year tied dow
to the task, remaining in one spot. Iii some
| thing like the walking of thousand miles in
| thousand hours. | have fellow feeling, for
know how periodical will wear down one
existence. In itself, it appears nothing. The la
Dor is not manifest nor is it severe; it is the con
tinual attention which it requires Your lif
becomes, asst were, Republication. One weel
is no sooner corrected and printed, than OF
comes another. It is the stone of Sisyphus
and endless REPETITION of toll, a constan
weight upon the mind, continual vearin;
upon the intellect and spirit-demanding al
the eXertlon of your faculties, at the sam
time sou are compelled to do the severes
drudgery. To Write for paper is very well
but to edit oneis to condemn yourself to slave
ry.- MarTyatt.
