was in a blaze Of Joy that France had
banshed the Royal knave who had as
cended the throne under promises Of re-
form, and had deceived the peope.--
Addresses were made in English,
French and German--the Marseilles
Hymn was sung in French--a national
song in German, and the Star Spang.

The Society was called to order by tho

is so celebrated. d.-Aiicr which the pIcdgc
was circulated all present being members,

were no, the least backward after such an
appeal, in cllSting nntlcr our brilliantly pre-
m;Siag banner, to do good battle in !hc cause
Of humanity: against The mouSler Of human
woes.
The Society next proceeded TO elect Del
