dable popular demonstrations which took place
here to day in favor of the French Republic
| and against the monarchy at home and abroad.
!hese demonstrations were two 10 number, one
| IN Hyde Park and one in St. anne s Hall. At
the meeting in the open air in Hyde PARK,
| professor Beesely made speech vigorously
denouncing the imbecility OF the British gov
eminent and charging upon the Queen, by
name, that she was encouraging Prussia to
march on Paris for the purpose of destroying
the new. born French. Republic. What the Tree
men OF America recognize and applaud, said
Professor Beesely, the aristocracy OF England
support Queen, who deserts her post, in aid
Ing 10 stltls and suppress. The name Of the
Queen was received With Il tempest Of Kisses.
When these sutSlded, a voice in the crowd
| called out, three groanS Ter the Prince of
Wales"
The response was universal and passionate
The aspect Of the crowd at the time was really
appalling
In the meeting oil ST. James Hall which was
with persons Of better class than gathered IN
Hyde Park, strong resolutions were adopted de-
nouncing the inconsistency o. the PfuSsianS
advance upon Paris with the solemn pre-
c|amation OF the crown Prince 10 August,
that Prussia made war net upon the
Frcuch people but on the Emperor Napoleon.
Professor Beesey spoke, saying that England
desired no disL.cmbcrmcnt of France; ard that
if the Engiish Government were honest it
would say so at once, and plainly to the King
OF Prussia The English Government is hos.
tile bath openly and secretly to France, not be-
cause it loves Germany but hates Republican
ism and fears it. 10 uphold the present course
of Prussia is to uphold dcspolism 10 Germany
az we'll as 10 France. The Government of Eng
land has not recognized the Republic inFrancc,
but the day was at hand when the French
Republic would be called upon to recognize the
Republic OF Eogland

from the Democrats of London to the French
Republicans, which was adopted.

mcnt and royal family is extremely bitter, not

papers OF the same standing, that the foreign
policy of the Government has been dictated by
the personal prejudice of the Queen and the
interest OF her family, has produced the most
dangerous and general Indignation.
