EFFECT OF THE FRENCH REVOLT
TION IN IRELAND.

An address Of generalization to The French
people was agreed to by the Committee Of the
Repeal Association, who held an open meet
ing on the 9th, the Lord Mayor presiding.
The attendance was immense, anticipating a
reference to the French Revolution. The new
Repeal journal-IAe Unied IIishmar-con-
tains extraordinary articles, inviting the peo-
pie to arms, and showing how barricades can
be erected, Railroads torn up, and city street
warfare carried on. Its editors ask those men
who have not guns or pistols 10 sell their gar
ments and purchase. The excitement pro
duced in Ireland has been intense.

RECEPTION OF THE FRENCH NEWS
IN SPAIN.

On reception Of the news from France
Councils of Ministers were held, and important
determinations are said TO have been come to-
One was TO send for the Duchess de Montpen-
sier at the request of Queen Mother and she
was to be accompanied by the Duke. The
garrison of Madrid were kept under arms; the
guard sentries doubled, and it was said that
10000 of an army of observation had been or
dered to the Pyrenees. The Government
Journals were forbidden to speak of events in
Paris All the papers and correspondence
which reached Madrid on the 29th was stop
ped.
Sill enough was allowed to ooze out to
show that something extraordinary had hap
pened. The Court balls were stopped, and
Queen Christina was taken to her bed. The
Progressista leaders in the cortes were pre-
pairing to resist, and extraordinary powers
were demanded by Narvaez. The Commit
tee of Congress had reported in favor Of them.

The People are not only prohibited from
meeting together in certain places, but are for
bidden TO wear particular colors.
They are not to applaud or hiss in public,
and are not allowed to collect money for the
poor, or to receive subscriptions. The con-
sternation throughout Lombardy is universal.
Cannon are to be seen leveled in some of the
main streets, and the principal towns are de-
serted. 1t has been forbidden to attend
church.
On the I'd instant, martial law was declared
in Milan, and from that moment the bankers
of the city refused to accept Austrian bank
notes and protested against their currency.
War seems most imminent between the Sar-
dinian States and Austria.
King Charles Albert has quartered 10000
troops on his frontiers for reconnaissance of
Austrian manouyeTs.
a million Of cartridges were being manu-
featured per day, and 5000 Congreve rockets
have been stored in the frontier fortress Of AL
lesandria, which is now fully equipped to stand
a siege
An entrenched camp is marked out between
Stradella and Voghert On the other hand,
Austria is about to throw garrison Of 1000
men into Marsa and 1000 into Carrara and
garrison other towns in Parma and Modena.
The young men of Lombardy have offered
their services as military body TO King Charles
Albert on condition that they be placed in
front of any attack.

Accounts from Frankfort to March 4th, say
that the Burgher's Guard had assembled in DIFF
ferent parts of the town and paraded the streets
CRYING give la Republique." The people de-
manded the same terms as were granted by
the Duke of Nassau, but after receiving assur-
ances from one of the authorities that free
press should be granted, they retired without
committing any excess. The papers through
out Germany TEEN with sympathy for the SUI
ferers in the French Revolution. An express
was sent off with the acknowledgment of the
Republic. Considerable fermentation was
manifested in the minds of many, and since the
announcement the streets and wharves have
been thronged.
