REVOLUTION BEGUN IN ttNAnA.-t nc news De-
gins TO be really interesting from Montreal and
other parts of Canada, We publish, this day,
elsewhere, an account Of the first movement in
what may be called peaceful revolution in Ca
NADIA, soon to end in its complete separation from
the crown Of England, ard annexation to the Uni-
ted staies. The document purports to be an aJ-
dress of the citizens Of Montreal, and Is signed
by nearly four hundred Of the most respectable
names in that oiiy-men OF business, professional
men, and people OF all ranks Of life.
This is the first decided and positive movement
made in Canada; and, from Indications thrown out,
from other quarters, it Is probable il wall be fol-
lowed up with great force and energy. OF course
we cannot expect perfect unanimiy in the first
steps The principal journals, however, of Montreal
are IN favor Of the movement, and we see only
qualified carping at it in some Of the papers of less
er influence. The plan of this revolution appears
TO be wise and iudleious. The movement will be
watched in this country, and on both sides OF the
Atlantic, with a great deal of interest and atten
ton. II involves vast principles and elements of
coed or-of evil, to both the continents Of both
worlds If peaceful separation Of Canada shorld
be effected, and annexation with the Unicd States
should follow, similar attempts may be made in
other British coonies-the West Indies and else
where Again, the accession Of such vast terri
tory, extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific
oceans. down to the North Pole, would involve
deep considerations, affecting the Southern sec
tons of the Union, and our destiny as united
people hereafter.
This subject is now becoming serious for ALL

AMERICAN Consul AT LElrsrc, GGRuASr-We
could not agree with the Tribune, in its denun-
Citations of Mr.. Walsh, late Consul at Paris I;
but we agree fully and completely in It's opsion
that the American Consul at Leipslc, DR.. Fhgel,
ought to be retained IN his situation, and that The
attempts making to remove him ought to be dis
countenanced by the President and the Secretary
of State In his capacity as Consul DR.. Flugel
has conducted himself with great proprcty and
discretion towards all Americans visiting that Gu
nous old city.
Apropos to this subect:-Wc perceive, anon
other eyiles from Europe, the name mentioned OF
Dr. Munde, recently distinguished physician in
Dresden, Saxony. In the attempted revolutions in
that city, laet year, the doctor took distinguished
pait, and was badly wounded, bu, has now, we UNI
dersiand, recovered. lie was the principal ad to
