Mr.. Ferdinand Flocon, one of the members
of the provisional government, Is sick.
The provisional government issued spirit
ed and patriotic address to the people on the
18th of March, exhorting them to patience and
tranquility.
The Bank of France has been permitted to
suspend specie payments in consequence of
heavy runs having been made upon her.
Gen'l Cavaignac has assumed the govern
ment of Algiers, and proclaimed the republic.
The military force of France is increasing
every day. The regular army has not been
diminished the national guard in and around
Paris numbers 2OO,O 900 men; the garde mo-
bile, with the new enrolments made since the
revolution, cannot amount to less than 100,-
600. The last are being armed and equipped
with all possible rapidity, even in the face of
extraordinary financial difficulties, that ought
to induce the most rigid economy.
Tn this general disposition-or rather in
stinct-of the French people to fly to arms,
lies the element of danger 10 the peace of the
world. For what-against whom-is this
enormous voice 10 be employed?
The following appeared in second edition
of the Morning Chronicle of yesterday:
PARIS, Sunday.
In the Moniteur of Sunday, decree of the
provisional government is published, by which
the election of the officers of the national
guards of Paris is postponed from the 25th of
March to the 5th of April.
AUsTRIA.-The Emperor of Austria has
consented to the liberation of the press, and
the establishment OF National Guard. The
new minister in place of Metternich will be
Count Kolourat.
The intelligence received this morning from
Vienna, is of most serious nature. A COM
plete revolution has been effected in the Aus
trian capital. A conflict on the / 9th, between
the people, led by the students and citizens,
and the military, has compelled Prince Meter
mich TO fly. There has been blood shed on
both sides, but the number of killed and woun-
ded is not stated.
ITALY.-As soon as the news of the French
revolution, and the subsequent proclamation
OF the republic, was known at Rome, an i'm
mense crowd of people proceeded with ban
ners, and amid cheers for the constitution and
the French republic, 10 the Quirinal, where a
deputation was chosen TO present an address
to the Pope, urging the necessity OF immedi-
ately publishing a constitution IS in harmony
with the Institutions of the other Italian States,
and the efforts of the nation be turned to the
maintenance OF interior order and exterior in.
Dependence
The constitution was expected to be pro-
claimed at Rome on the 18th instant.
The same paper confirms the report that
political league has been formed between the
Pope, the Grand Duke of Tuscany, and the
King of Sardinia
1t is said that the Hungarian troops have
been ordered to quit Lombardy, as they had
exhibited disposition to fraternize with the
people. There were rumors that Milan was
in open revolution, and had been bombarded
by the Austrians, but they were not credited
GERMANY.-A revolution has taken place
in Wurtemburg. A peasants war has broken
out in Germany. The horizon is red in many
parts from incendiary fires. The castle of
Niederstetten Oehringen, two sgnorial resi-
dences of the princes of Hohenlohe have been
burnt to the ground. Nor have the Doors re-
spected the ancient castle of Jaxthausen, on
the JaXt, which for centuries has been in the
possession Of the Berlichingen family, and has
been immortaIiZed by Goethe by his descrip
ton of his defence by iron-fsted GotZ, who
then headed the lnsurgent peasants against the
imperial troops. The village belonging to it
also has been reduced to ashes. The castle of
Assumstadt, the family residence of the Ba-
rons of Ellrichshausen, and the castle of
Schwaiggen, the residence of Count Neipperg,
SON. in-law of the King of Wurtemburg, have
been RACED to the ground. The lives of the
inhabitants have been spared but an organi-
zed system is visible. The stewards of the
castles in question were compelled to thlow
the archives into the flames with their own
hands and some men of education are evil
IDENTIFY in the ranks of the peasants, as the de-
vices of the Hohenlohes-er fammis orior-
was ironically changed into er ,fanamlS mo-
rlor. Two thousand men have been ordered,
in all haste, from Ludwisburg and Heilbonn,
to quell this instruction.
