cood Tidiugs still from France,

The Provincial Government was, on the 29th ult.
j. the full and quiet exercise Of its power and was
D.-.sveringiy and industrously at work to bring
ho new machinery in working order. All the i'm
aor,sut towns had cheerfully declared for it-and
fa Republic letter dated the 18th of Februl-
-, declares that Paris was never more tranquil
han at that moment. We make, from various
,orrces. a few extracts 10 show what course events
are taking:
To-day. at 2 O'Clock, the representative Minis
Ear from the United States Mr.. Richard Rush,
went to the Hotel de Vile, in formal recognition
ofIhe Provisional Government. II was appropri-
ate TO the representative of the American Union TO
he the first TO welcome our infant Republic, for
there is no bond more powerful between nations
han community of sentiment. The step taken by
the Minister of the United States has, under exist
mo circumstances, serious Importance; although
Gilv expected. it has touched acutely the members
ofthe Provisional Government, and after an inter-
risw in which were exchanged the noblest ex-
oressjons they, in body, accompanied this repre-
,snatiye of great nation to the threshold of the
Hotel de ViIle as proof of the cordial affection
which must ever exist between the American and
French Republics.
Mr. X. Rush thus expressed himself:
Gentlemen-As a representative of the United
States charged with the care of the rights and ill.,
terests ofmy country, and of my fellow citizens re-
siding in France, and being at too great q distance
IN await instructions, seize the earliest opportu-
nity of offering my congratulations, persuaded that
nv Government will approve the step of which
have taken the initiative. | must not omit to re-
mind YOU that the alliance and friendship which
no so long united France and the United States
is rnimpared. / am certain that Il loud and uni
yersa expression of hope will arise in my country,
for the prosperity, happiness. and glory of France
under the institutions which she has now naupu-
rated, in conformity with the will of the nation
Americans will have an ardent hope that under
le wisdom of France, these institutions will have
for the whole human race results, of which the
magnanimous conduct Of the people, in the late
events, afforded a happy presage. Under similar
Institutions, the United States have enjoyed for
seventy years an increased prosperity and a. Go
yernnlent Of uninterrupted stability; and if the
Union invariably leaves to other countries a free
choice of government, without any interference it
will naturally feel gradfied in seeing another great
nation flourish under institutions which have as
sued to themselves the benefits of social order and
public liberty.
Permit me- gentlemen, to employ the words of
the great and excellent Washington, the immortal
founder Of our Republic, used by him on a similar
occasion to the present. and TO terminate this ad-
dress by adding to my congratulations the earnest
be coextensiye with their duration.
VI. Arago replied that the members of the Go
yemment received without surprise, but with
lively pleasure the sentiments expressed by the
Ambassador of the United States France expect
cd no less from an ally with whom she placed her
self in more intimate relations by the proclamation
Of Republic. ''The Provisional Government.
he added, " thanks you for the good wishes YOU
entertain for the greatness and prosperity of France
is delighted to reGcho the words of Washington
and it has finn reliance that these words will not
only be desire but reality.''
NJ Dupont, de l'Eure, then addressing the Am
bassador, said, $ Permit me, Sir, in offering you
my hand, to assure you that the French people ten
deS hand of friendship TO the American nation"
Mr.. X. Rush was accompanied by Mr. Martin,
Chief Secretary Of the Embassy and also by Major
POnssn. When these gentlemen quilted the Hotel
de Vile, the guards presented arms, and cries of

{ From the London Times of March 81
Wehave received, by express, letters from Paris
Hpto O'Clock on Tuesday afternoon, together with
some further German correspondence. Our Paris
letter contains tie following:
Everything continues to. proceed better and
more iavorably than could have been hoped for by
the most sangune. The Government is earning
universal good opinion by its activity and energy,
coupled with moderation and perseverance. That
will arrive at its end without occas onal miscar-
rage or interruption, would be hazardous to predict
andyet far the best and purest intentions can
insure the attainment of their objects, tine prophecy
would seem justified.
Among the rumors, to-day, is one that Lord
Normandy paid a second visit to NJ. de Lamartine.
Q assure him of the friendly dispositions of the
British Government. Without proceeding to official
information Oh the point, believe the fact is that
the British Government has demonstrated to the
Provisional Government of France, through the
British Ambassador, frankly and loyalty its desire

The two countries, but observing that an Ambassa-
dor cannot be accredited to Provisional Govern

d Normandy to visit the French Minister of For
egn Affairs, the British Government has gone
