LONDON Friday, Feb. %, 1856.
On the 25th of February, the anniversary Of the
French Revolution of 1s4s, the Congress Of the
Princes was opened at Paris. On the same day
the Chartists and refugees at London, BY way oi
contrast inapgurated tie " Alliance of the
Peoples" Anticipating the boast of to-days
Constitutional that the two services rendered by
that Revolution were in the production Of tho Em-
pire and the Congress, they entered their protest
against these monster shams pretending to be more
than mere incidents in the career of Revolution.
The meeting took place at the Literary Institl-
ton, John street, Tottenham Court Road. The
large room was decorated with various banners
bearing the inscriptions: " The Alliance Of the
Peoples" DisObedence to tyrants is a duty to
Cod" Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" sc. The
hall was densely crowded, and NJ. Felix Pyat hay
ing been voted into the chair opened the proceed
ings by proposing "Thc Social and Democratic
Republic" NJ. Tallander said:
The Revolution of February, lsis, was lost in the
following June and destroyed by the coup d'6fai of
I'd December, ISL At present, in that city, where
neither the press nor the tribune Il free, the ombas
sadors OF the different despotc Powers assembled
TO prey upon and betray the people. They profit
il Q bv that weakness Of LGuartne which lost the
Republic TO the French. Those diplOmatis;s are the
vampires who feed upon the blood Of the people After
the cimc of the fiIsi BOnapaTte, who Ovonhrew the
6st Republic, q second of that name betrayed aud
murdered The second Republic. Is il true that ciyil-
cation is again arrested Are the Americans rigat in
asking whether the French are mad IN attaching them
selves TO galV anized corpse in the shape of Bona
pOrte dynasty But tie refugees in England aud
elsewhere viii raise their Voices notwithstanding al
the bardsbps and sueriDgs Of exile, against the
tiDnluCe of suCh XN sVste that 'inr
Europe. 40 long is Europe il governed by monarch5,
there be security quiet. Let all lovers Of
liberty declare that they have nothing TO do with such
infamous systt Of society and that they arc ready 70
fight against II Cheersl. Labor Is the great wealth
OF the world, without which nothing can be paid for;
lGUoT, therefore, has the power 70 govern instead Of
being governed. The GTst step the next republic
takes must be tue solution of this point by the obtain
ment and preservation Of the instruments of preouc
ton lCheerl. To-day We, the refugees, say that
justice il the side Of tle oppressed-the iab0rer;

Mr.. Nash, an Eng ,bmsn, said be considered
the last revolution 10 be only portion Of the first
great one, the conclusion OF which was still IN
Sbeyance. 1t would be folly and injustice to sup
pose that the subllmities of Robespierre (immense
cheers) are TO silk into the weaknesses of Lamar
tine, or be smotbered by the usurpaton of traitor
snd perjurer. Can be (Mr. Nash) think that the
glories of the frat French revolution are to ter
innate with the successes Of the bloodiest being
that ever disgraced the earth since the time of
Nero Loud and protracted eheersl. 1t may be
stated the man is now cur ally How long will
he continue so. IL does not require much pOlit
cal foresight to say the period will not be long.
Judging from his treschery TO the people of
France, there Is no reason to suppose he win be
more sincere to us than to them lie believed that
the sentence passed upon Napoleon the Little would
be carried out. The freedom of France had been

failed aud IN others Sla'er exists the real soca
