The daily national Whig. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1847-1849, 1849-05-01


A telegrnphic despatch from Boston yesterday
brought the intelligence that Mr. A. Brisbane one of
the correspondents of The Tribune in Europe had
been ordered by the French Minister Of the Interior
10 quilt the country In "a hours or os II should have
been, In 40. As the Press will be likely 10 comment
upon this event, we give plain statement OF tho
facts In the case.
Mr.. Brisbane during his present residence abroad
has been In constant intercourse with men Of all
parties, his purpose being TO make himself familiar
with the nature of the various movements going on
in Europe. He has naturally however, been most
In relations with the leading Reformers Republicans
and Socialists as they are the only men from whom
anything Is to be learned with regard TO questions Of
public interest," the Monarchists or Conservatives
having already shown that they have nothing be-
yond the old and fimsy expedIents which have so
often been tried and found sudly wanting. 5AM4
On the 25th of February Mr.. B. was urged to at
tend banquet given on the anniversary of the Rev
ouion, and went There, as man born md brought
up in Republic he asked 10 speak, and did so,
moderately In tone, he being convinced that.the M
dience needed modera ting more than exciting. He
spoke of France as being at the head Of Christen-
activity Of her genius. He warned them that no
great good could be hoped from political changes
alone, and that It was only by patient and mature
investigation Of proposed reforms and care and iudg
mentn their application that France could go forward
inner propercareer. In that path In which she
appointed to lead other nations the peace and the
destiny of the world depending upon her he invoked
for her the inspiration and guidance of God.
This was anything but an incendary speech,
but II called up LedrnIRollin who, in fervid burst
Of eloquence, directed the Idea of the Provdentia
mission of France against the Government by
which that mission was unrecOgnized and prevented
from reaching fulflment. These Two speeches had
an immense success at the time, and were subse-
quenily printed and circulated together France
Mr.. b. afterwards spoke few times, altogether in
the strain, Mt other places This presumption
Of IN American, in speaking on political questions
before Republican, Socialist audiences In Pais and
in speaking in such way that his words were re-
echoed through the press and made 10 serve as the
basis Of a vigorous attack on the Administration,
was however, offensive TO Mr.. Leon Faucher, the
Minister of the Interior,iwho the 2Sth of March,
issued an order for Mr.. 3. 10 quit France--whch
was served upon him through the Project Of Police
Al Paris on the 9th inst, by virtue of law passed
on the 2sth vendemiaire year. vi. [l796l when the
Republic was threatened by The neighborng powers.
Mr.. b. Immediately went to the office of the Pre-
attention to the order, and that they perfectly
free to send him to the frontier under the escort Of
gems d armes ii they choose but that If they would
walt ill 18th he would leave without trouble TO any
body his arrangements being made to depart on that
day. He was treated with great politeness by the
officials; up the 18th he had not been disturbed,
aud we presume staj till he was ready to leave with
out any farther difficulty.
The republican papers remark upon the order Of the
minister with much feeling They regard u as
disgrace tha the freedom ofspecch should receive SO
broad an outrage in their so-called republic We
have noticed it not only state The facts as they are
but to illustrate the folly Of Government which re-
fuses to be taught by the experience of those which
have gone before il, aud rushos headlong into the
abyss where they have perished.-N. y. Tribune.
