Paris, Feb. %.
Thiers, Odiuan Barrof. &C., gave in theil
adhesion, and thus France is one in feeling, al
classes among the people, and all orders among
the nobility, going for, and sustaining the Re-
public.
The second Important consideration relates to
the manner in which other Governments have
received the new Republic.
II was natural that our minister, Mr.. Rush,
should be frs, 10 recognize it. He did SO, and
"e"usohcAy' Inc tohoWthg - hls sPceSh fc-
cognizing the Provisional Government;
GENTLEMEN, -..As representative of the II nted
states charged with the Of the rights and in-
tTests of my country, and Of my fellow citizens
residing in France, and being al too great dis
lance To await Instructions, 1 seize the earliest
opportunity of offering my congratulations,
persuaded that my Government will approve
the step, Of which have taken the initiative.
! must not omit to remind you that the alliance
and friendship which have 30 long united France
aud the United States is unimpared. l am
certain that loud and universal expression OF
hope will arise in my country for the prosperity,
happiness, and glory of France, under the in
situations which she has now inaugurated in
conformity with the will Of the nation. Ameri-
cans will have an ardent hope, that under the
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 affords happy presage.
Under similar institutions. the United States
have enjoyed for seventy years an increasing
prosperity, with Government of uninterrupted
stability; and il the Union invariably leaves TO
other countries free choice of government,
without any interference, il will naturally feel
gratified in seeing another great nation flourish
under institutions which have assured 10 them
selves the benefits Of social order and public lib
erty. Permit me, gentlemen, TO employ the
words of the great and excellent Washington,
the immortal founder of our Republic, used by
him on similar occasion to the present, and to
terminate this address by adding 10 my con-
gratuiations the earnest hope that the friendship
of the two republics may be co-extensve with
their duration"
Mr.. Arago replied, that the members of the
Government received without surprise, but
with lively pleasure, the sentiments expressed
BY the Ambas sador Of the United States; France
expected no less from an ally with whom she
places hers eli in more intimate relations by the
proclamation Of Republic "The Provisional
Government" he added. "taanks you for the
good wishes you entertain for the greatness and
prosperity Of France. Ii is delighted TO re-
echo the words Of w ashington. and il has firm
reliance that these words will not only be de-
sire, but a reality"
NJ Dupont de l'Eure then addressing the
Ambassador, said:--"Permit me, sir, in offering
YOU my hand, TO assure you tina: the French
people tenders hand of friendship to the Amer
lean nation"
When these gentlemen quilted the Hotel de
Vile, the guards presented arms, and cries Of
"Iipe Ia R.PubIiQGe des Etats URis!" saiuted
the Ambassador.
Nor was England coy o. backward. Her
minister remained on the spot, and when peo-
pie came TO him full of alarm, enquiring "what
shall we do" he answered, 'be calm, act like
men of sense" and when those who were
really scared, asked twill your Lordship stay"
be replied, 81 shall be certainly the last En-
elishman &c quit Paris" But, March the %,
the following important extract was published
which settled everything as TO the policy Of
England
"Lord Normandy communicated this morn
ing To NJ. de Lamartine the dispatches he had
received from Lord Palmerston. Lord Palmer
ston announced to Lord Normandy tina En-
gland did not hesitate an instant TO acknowledge
the right OF the French nation to change the
form of its Government" .I,.r
Switzerland, all Italy, greeted, as far as head
from, the new Republic warmly. Belgium
and the North Acknowledges it. Austria, Prussia
Russia, are yet to say what they will do
But there is no danger 10 France from ahead i
she remain at peace and united rifhin.
