"VIvE Ia REpUBLIQUE UNIvERsELLE."-
This was the grand motto of the French ex'
lies in New York, 1T their celebration on
the path inst of the anniversary of the last
French revolution. There was grand ban
quet at the Shakespeare Hotel on the occa-
sion, and any quantity of passionate address
es and toasts were ELECTED. Various revo-
lutionary societies were present, among
which the most conspicuous was ''La Mon
tagne;" rather an unpopular name, we hope.
in America. The speeches were remarkable
for their bitter excavations of tyrants and
the freedom with which it was proposed to
wash out the wrongs of humanity with their
blood Louis Napoleon would have stood
much poorer chance with the banqueters
at the Shakespeare in New York, on the cath,
than did Louis XVI. with the men of the
mountain" in '93. The radicalism of the
orations, as reported in the New York Her
aid, would have been grateful to the most
ultra of the Jacobins. A great idea that pre-.
vailed at the dinner seemed to be, that there
must be union of all nations under grand
Republican Alliance: which NJ. I'olon called
the unity of nations upon the Socialist
and Red Republican principles, Liberty,
Equality and Fraternity" All three of
these were enjoyed to the fullest extent by
the wassailers at the Shakespeare on the oath.

NJ. Delaclase, the President of the Society,
which has the boldness to assume in this
country the execrable title of 'The Noun

grace, that irrepressible humiliation in which
France is struggling. Yes, this is maledic-
ton which shall remain nailed upon the head
OF that man who to us personifes the pres
ent" He was very respondent with regard
to the present, which he considered the ''sta-
tionary phase of the law of destiny law
which, however, contained within itself the
strengthening principle by which it would
triumph in spite of brute force. The orator
seemed not to remember that the anarchists
of France were about the most brutal and
bloody power that ever Providence permit
ted on earth.
M. Tolon, who seemed to be the most ora

unity of nations the great idea by which
the world was to be revolutionised and

declared that it was 'the most brilliant spark

and also compared it to 'the thunder of eter.

shrivels up the mantels of kings, emperors

people," He added:
