LONDON, Oct. 20, 1870
The attempt OF the government TO prevent
the demonstrations arranged to be made last
night against the existing war ended in
disastrous failure and In emblttering the popular
Keeling. double Gordon OF police had been formed
extending from the Treasury Buildings to the
houses of Parliament. aud the police were stationed
on both sides OF Parliament street and on West
mineer Bridge to prevent the people from reaching
Palace Yara designated as the spot for holding the
meeting. Two regiments Of infantry and the Dra-
goon Guards were under arms all night In their
barracks, but no cali was made upon them.
THE BRITISH MINISTRY DENOUNCED.
In spite OF all the precautions OF the authorities
nearly twenty thousand people made their way
from Victoria street, Westminster, and from
otner quarters to Palace yard. An immense
meeting was organized and addressed by
several speakers including Mr.. Richard Con-
greve, Mr.. Weston, Mr.. Mcsweeney ana Mr.
weber. The drift OF the speeches was unanimoust
They said the meeting had assembled to teach the
'iadstone government their duty ana to compel them
TO do II. Cheers were given for Lord Harrington
| who had alone shown himself man In the present
government; and cries OF "a shame on nm'' greeted
the allusi0n Of one speaker to the apathy OF John
Bright In the presence OF the greatest national
| crime Of the century.n
PITCHING INTO KING WILLIAM
One speaker said IL was the duty OF Europe
to compel Prussla to make compensation Tor
| the vast devastation she had perpetrated In
France. King william was denounced by
| name as hypocritical assassin and an incar-
nate devil OF royalty. One OF the speakers re-
called the suppression OF German liberty by Prussia
in 1sas, the nsoience Of General Won Wrancel In
devolving by force the Prussian Assembly, the
bloodthrsty spirit in which the Prince OF Prussia,
now King William, had pursued the democrats OF
Baden and Of the Rhine. He scid the plain object
OF the Prussian Crown at this time was to DESTROY
liberty In Europe, to make freedom In Germany
impossible by inaugurating policy which
would compel Germany to be always under
arms herself and surround her with hostile nations
equally armed, and by replanrDg military lnstitu-
tons in the heart OF the Continent to check the pro-
gress OF the Old World In the direction so gorlousy
opened to 1t by the New. This reference TO America
was hailed with repeated cheers. Royal Prussia
said Mr.. Weber, German, mad aided to dsmember
Poland, hold down Hungary and oppress Italy.
Royal England had been leagued with her.
AN ATTACK UPON THE DIVINE RIGHTS OF KINGS AND
rHEIs PENSIONS.
With TIE help OF German hirengs, sold by Ger
man despots, England had subjugated Iraand
and with the same help she had sought to preven
the establishment OF the American republic, until
the legions OF France came to the rescue OF
the countrymen OF Washington. The sooner All

ished the better. A defensive alliance should be
formed among the people Of all nations. Mr.
Oliver, in the conclusion Of his speech, said:--
1--WE tell Mr.. Gladstone, who misrepresents the
English people to-day, In yonder pile OF glmcrack
architecture pointing towards the House OF ParIia
menu that II he does not recognize the republic OF
France to-day he will find himself compelled to
recognize the republic OF England tomorrow Mr..
McSweney offered resolutian, which was
adopted by acclamation, calling Spon the gov
ernment to form o defensive alliance witt
with France, and instructlng the members for IN,
metropolis to bring before Parliament bill abolish
Ing all the pensions paid by Great Britain to German
princes, including the Crown Prince Of Prussia an
Prince LOUIS, ofHesse, now living on English none
and acting with the monarchial invaders OF Franc
against republic OF the people. A leading mel
chant Of the city Of London proposed tas the pcopl
assemble in Palace yard at the moment when,
| ever, the bombardment OF Paris shall commence
and demand action by the British government II
behalf Of that city ana OF the French people.
REVOLUTIONARY FEELING.
The feeling unaffected in all qnarters during the
night was revolutionary and threatening and the
excitement caused BY 1t among the better classes Is
serious and will increase the more that the leaders
OF the opposition doing their best to fomen the
feeling in wskch these demonstrations nave their
origin. The representations sent to this country as
to the erect of the present upon the condition
OF the people an the peasantry In France are truly
terrible, and they are ar0usng an indignation here
among the newly enfranchised millions, which il
win not be safe for any ministry to tribe with
HoOTTNG DOWN THE PRUssIAN EMBASSY.
At two O'Clock this morning the Prussian embassy
was lnsulted by great concourse Of people, who
appeared before 1t, with lanterns and banners,
groaning and crying, "Down with the Queens
pensioners ~ "Down with the bought butchers =,
The police made no attempt to interfere with the
crowd, which for time looked as II it would pro-
ceed to Violence but eventually, on the representa-.
tions OF one or two persons seeming to have au-
thority over it. dispersed and disappeared.
RUSSIAN SOCIALISTS AT WORK.
1t Is an ominous symptom or those manifesto
tiOns that in all Of them Russian agents. deputed
by the powerful secret society OF the European
socialists, In which Bakounine is the leading
spirit, have been active The working classes
in Belgium and in Northern Germany are also rep
resented here and 1t s not premature to say that If
the existing war goes on in the temper with which
Prussia Is now conducting it, and for the diplomatic
ana dynastic objects now avowed by her serious and
European commissions OF sort in nowise agreeable
to anticipate will be the inevitable result. In st.
Petersburg the Car has already been obliged to in
terpose his personal authority for the purpose OF
arrestinR the DRIFT OF the popular feeling against
Germany.
