Meetings in favor of the Chartists are
held in almost every town of note. The
Convention had adjourned, after appoint
ing deputations, to visit the different pro-
yinces, and adopting a. petition to. the
Queen, urging the dismissal Of the minis
tiers. In some districts the middle classes
have fraternized with them, and at Birm-
ingha.n and Nottingham meeting Of the
merchants was held favorable to some of
the principles advocated by the Chartists.
Ireland still continues in great unhap-
piness and agitation. Less fears, howev-
er, are entertained Of outbreaks from the
peasantry. The speeches made at Concil'
iation Hall were moderate, and the confede-
rates are less warlike than heretofore. De.
nonstrations in favor Of the Government
were held in several parts of the country
The deplorable state Of Ireland, apparent
ly on the verge Of civil war, continues t.
occupy the attention Of all classes.
The differences betweenthe Repealers
headed by O'Connell, and the party lee
by Mitchell, daily become greater. The
repeal rent mas fallen to 25l. per week
1t is evident that the numerical majority Of
the Irish people are, in favor Of outrage
GUS measures. Meantime, the people il
every part of the countrylcontinue to sup
ply themselves with arms.
In France, a scheme has become known
by which Prince de Joinville was to be
preferred as President Of the Republic.
A decree will shortly appear, Danish
ing the whole Orleans dynasty from the
country. -
Lalnartine has proposed an alliance, Of
fensive and defensive, with the Swiss Re-
public.
On Sunday, the 10th, Paris was the
scene Of extraordinary commotion. The
people, engaged by the authority of the
Provisional Government for publication Of
some papers found at Guizot's, impeach-
ing his political character, declared them
to be forgeries. He denounced Lamar.
tine, and the modern members Of the Gov
eminent, and swore to overthrow it ant
establish a new one, from which all bu
the extreme radical members of the exist.
ing Government were to be excluded.
Ledur Rollin, who possesses an i'm.
nlense influence with the Commonists par.
ty, was able to summon an immense con.
course at the Champ de Mrs, where he
harangued the crowd in the most infam-
tory manner. The Government was COM
PEELED to call on the National Guards
Mobile Guards and two Regiments. A
line of cannon was planted at the Hotel
de Vile, and bloodless restoration Of or
der was effected. 1t seemed for brief
space that the old sign Of terror was to be
revived. .a@
The moderate members Of the Govern
ment did not commit the mistake of Gil
rondists of '93, but saved the Capital by
bold and decisive resort to the military
resources Of the city.
Bourgna and Cobett, the latter mem
Der of the Provisional, Government, are
said to have been arrested. -.
The arrest Of many prominent Commu-
nlsts is said to have taken place. The
Communists wear red vests of the Monk
Guards, and the Moderate party the resets
tri-color Of the ,Girondists. . The parties
IN Paris seem to be divided, as inthe first
revolution; but while the Communists are
probably less sanguinary than the old ter
rorist, the moderate party are firmer, more
energetic, and stronger than the Girond-
lists Of 80 and SO.
VI alters in Paris have reached the criti-
cal point, the eve of that crisis when the
Fate Of "a nation rests onthe conduct Of one
great man; but while Providence preserves
Lamartine, we have no fears for the issue.
A grand national festival to- celebrate
the determination Of the army and the
Guards took place on the goth, and was
concluded by grand military demonstra-
ton, the like Of which had never been
Witnessed. The troops marched round
and through the Boulvards with colors fly
ing, and fifty drums beating. The process
sion occupied eight hours in passing a
given point. The greatest enthusiasm
prevailed, and the most kindly disposition
was manifested towards the troops by the
Provisional Government. This demon
strat'cn will strengthen immensely the
moderate members. e.," i, y, =
Decroates set fire to the village and cas-
tie to Nueva, containing 1900 inhabitants.
A Gordon was formed around it, and the
villagers were burned to death, uttering
the most appalling shrieks.
Saxony is in a frightful state of revolu-
ton, which the government cannot put
