Of people. from the front of the Naval
Academy to around the statue Of
King Charles. Perfect order pre-

to men, was hailed with rapt;Irous
cheers. The meeting was presided
over by Mr. Meniman, who made an
effective speech, IN the course of which
he alluded to the fact that while
the London press ridicules and sights
that Republican movement In Eng
land, to which their own daily de-
indications of the Worthlessness of
tie royal family, give constant en-
enlargement and strength, and the
| American press, three thousand miles
away, recognize its Importance and
lend its moral support and generous
Eympathy, as the American Republic
lends its priceless support, and
glorious and successful example.
These remarks were received with q
perfect tempest of cheers for the United
States; and a spirited address 20 the
| Republic of France was adopted. In
/ which it is declared that the Mon
Erchs of Germany prosecute the war
now against Republieanism and not
against France. and that ia so doing
they are guilty Of great crime against
| liberty and humanity-agalnst the
people of Germany, as well as against
the people Of France. The address
tells the people Of France that the
| English people have demanded, aud

til they shall have WruDg compliance
with their will from a vacillatIng aud
cowardly ministry. The Marsillaise

peatsdly declared that the working
men Of Englan IGNORED the people
of Germany for their patriotism and
gallantry ia repeIling the assaulted
the Napoleonic dynasty upon their
country, but they implored them TO
beware of suffering themselves to be
led by their own passions into a pro-
tFaeted conflict with another great
people by whom that dynasty had now
been repudiated. To dominant ideas
of the demonstration were, that the
war must cease and that the Republic
must be sustained.
Demonstrations increase eontinual-

arrival Of another procession from
