" finis! it in, * 9% The French Revolution Again. There seems to be no ead to the opinions and speculations on the probable effect of the revo- lution in Paris Some of oar contemporaries doubt the establishment of a republic at all; others believe that it may succeed after-prodigi ous effort and a great wasie of blood. A few at tribute a mighty importance tothe crud» opinions of the Courrier des Etats Unis, on the ground that the editor is a Frenchman, and therefore the best judge of such events. In this is concealed # greaterror. Our amiable contemporary of the Courrier des Etats Unis has met the announce- ment of a probable republic with the same feelings and boyish delight that he felt a short time ago when he received the cross of the legion of honor from poor Louis Philipse, whom he unce- remoniously hands over as a wanderer and ava gabond, probably in England. A temper indi- eating such facility of change and grateful emo- tion, 18 not the highest authority in contem- plating or predicting great results. The position ofthings in Paris at the last ac- counts was most unsatisfactory—most meagre We had not even a correct and accurate history of the proceedings of the government, and the progress of the revolution, for the three days pre- vious to the twenty-fifth of February. The most correct view yet given, is that which hae been published in the private correspondence and extracts from English journals, contained in our edition of Sanday morning last. The history of the three days—the twenty-se- cond, twenty-third and twenty-fourth—is frag- mentary and uncertain. The most impor tant intelligence, which communicated the pro- clamation of a republic, and the formation of a provisional government by a small portion of the radical or republican members of the Chamber of Deputies, is more unsati otaer part of the intelligence. The Chamber of Deputies contains about four hundred and fifty members, of whom not over forty or fifty form the republican, or extreme gauche. The great intel- lectaal and moral force of the Chamber was un- doubtedly headed by Thiers, Odillon Barrot, and ethers, forming the centre gauche, or regular opposition. This portion of the Chamber was probably in favor of the Orleans dynasty, with the Duchess of Orleans as regent, her son being king; but it is not improbable that they may ul- \imately give way and gradually succumb toa republican form of government if France wills it The new provisional government, however, can only command a mere fragment of the Chamber, and a still smailer portion of the news- yaper press of Paris. In the rapidity of the movement, and the extraordinary defection of the National Guards, including the troops of the line, @ moral panic seems to have seized one great portion of the Deputies. It operated with equal force on the newspapers. I: wasin the midst of this panic that the few republicans of the Chamber of Deputies; and two or three con- nected with the republican press, seized on the moment, issued their proclamation, established a republic, and took on themselves at once the re- organization of public affairs and the control of the nation. Ia this position of things, what chances have the provisional government to sustain themselves ia the midst of an excited population, with all the leading members of the two Chambers, aad also the leading journals, opposed to them, if notin heart and principle, at least as to the per- sonnel of the new government? The newspapers of Paris have been one of the most powerful elements in bringing about this revolution, and, with the exception of the Ne- tional and La Reforme, and another evening paper, all the leeding journals are opposed to those men who have taken on themselves the government of France. The Siecle is pwned and conducted by Odillon Barrot, and circulates over thirty thousand copies per day. The Con- stitutionnel is the organ of M. Thiers, and cir- culates about twenty thousand. The Presse is owned and conducted by Girardin, one of the members of the Chamber of Deputies, bit- terly opposed to Guizot, aud issues pre-e bably about twenty-five thousand per day All these jour re uader the influence of co- teries of politicians, who will be entirely hostile to the new provisional government, principaily tothe men forming it, if not to some of their political views. We do not take into account the Journal des Debats, for tht newspaper will fall, in eny event. Oa the other hand, the Na- tional, which has been the orgin of the republi- cans for several years, and which is conducted by Armand Marrast with a great deal of theo- retic taleni and fine writing, has a circulation of | only three or four thousand he disparity in the issues of these different journals indicates the strength and weekness of the dificrent cote ries of politicians attached to them.’ After the dust and noise shall have cleared away, and the blood wiped from the faces of the military, and the sfains washed out from the streets and paving stones, there will, be- | yond doubt, be au attempt at counter-revolution, having for its object the removal of the new pro- visional government, even without reference to the continuance of the Orleans dynasty in the person of the Count of Paris. The extraordi- nary finterniza’ion of the troops of the line with the National Guards, and alterwards of both with the people, predueed the political panic in Paris which enabled the repubicane to reize jones istactory than any | | tional Guards will imitate such conduct for any | length of time, under the call of the new govern- | ment. The National Guards of Paris are com- IZ ant ah telinciy ee | posed of the middling class of shop-keepers, 0, mcd NOTICE canbe taken of anonymous communica: | ons. artizans and respectable persons, forming what is call the bourgeoisie. The revolu- tion thus far will drive all foreigners from Paris, principally the Eaglish and Ger- | mans, which, of course, will diminish the wholesale and retail trade of the capital, pro- duce an awful panic in the money market—all of which will doubtlesa have a prodigious counter revolutionary effect on the troops of the Na- tional Guards, Ia every point of view, therefore, we think it hazardous yet to predict a peaceful revolution, or the quiet establishment of a republic in France, even without reference to the attitude of foreign powers. Happy will we be if we are disap- pointed in this anticipation ; but the comparative ignorance of the French people in political com- that may be entertained on that point. It is true thatthe French people of the present day are generally better educated and more acquainted with political action, than they were in the old revolution of 1790; but they are sadly behind even the English people, and certainly not at all to be compared with the American people, in po- htical knowledge and political organization With all the changes that have taken place in the government of France within the last fifty years, the political system has been in a sta'e of abeyance and ignorance, while the people have been left to enjoy the utmost freedom in society, disconnected with politics. One thing is certain, this event in Paris and its effect throughout Europe will bea terrible revulsion in commercial affuirs, and the commencement of the entire downfall of the funding system, which has pre- vailed in Europe for the lasttwo centuries. The next news will be most interesting. Mr. Van Buren anp THE WiLMOT Proviso.— We are persuaded from what we hear and see, that the great cbject of the movers of the Wilmot proviso in this State, and elsewhere, has been to resuscitate Mr. Van Buren as a candidate for the Presidency —to dig him ont as one of the bright- +s fossil remains frem Kinderhook. Mr Van Buren, during the last two months, has been rus- ticating in this city, or rather polishing himself for the Baltimore Convention. He hes been re- siding at Julien’s hotel, feasting his old political friends, coqueting with the ladies of the last cen- tury, and gracing the Opera with his presence Now and then he took a trip to Long Island, to compare notes with his friend, Mr. Cambreling Nothing would make Mr. Van Buren leave his retirement at Kinderhook, surrounded with al! the comforts of that residence—books and sour- krout, without some great object connected with the political affaira of the country. Mr. Van Buren’s resuscitation is resolved on— a result which may be as curious and as success- ful as was his first rise in the politfeal world, ex- actly twenty years ago, in 1828. Well do we re- member that period, for we were one of the un- conscious instruments that brightened him up, and manufactured for him the title of the “Great Magician,” which ultimately made him Presi- dent. We then conducted the old National Ad- vocate, which had been abandoned by Major Nouwh, and which had formerly been conducted by Henry Wheaton. The movements made in that journal, in the spring of 1828, were the cause of Mr. Van Buren’s advance, a history of which we shall give at our leisure. Mr. Van Buren is now almost in a similar position to that which he was in 1828, and he is moving with almost the same weapons that he did in those days. Does any one doubt that Mr. Van Buren or Mr. Cambre- ling, or any other ot the proviso men in New York, care as much fora thick lipped ne- gro, away out in New Mexico or California, as they would have people believe? Do any of them care whether the negro isa mere slave, or a free- man? Noone who knows the men, will ever believe such absurdity to be ettributed to them No, itis not for the position of the negroon the border of the great Sait Lake in California, thet the Wilmot proviso men care. They merely | want, by their movements, to breek down and | ruin the democratic party, if the Baltimore Con- | vention shall nominate any other candidate thar Mr. Van Buren, as they say he was clieated by the Cuss men in 1844. ‘This is the meaning of the Wilmot proviso; and we ere persuaded thet unless Mr. Van Buren shall be remembered without cheating in 1848, they will turn this political business into a weapon to destroy the democratic candidate, and elect the whig candi- date, whoever he may be—Mr. Clay, or any other man. We shall give, one of these days, a full histo- ry of these movements of Mr. Van Buren—hie motives, his policy, and his peculiar character as a politician for the last twenty years, beginning atthe time when, by our labors, he got to be a great man in the Union, and succeeded in oust ing Mr. Calhoun from the good graces of Gene- ral Jackson, by a similar movement to thet which he is now engaged in, for another pur- pose. | | Tue Mexican Treaty anp Couresroxvence.— We gave, w few days ago, exclusively, a com- plete copy of the new treaty with Mexico, far } in advance of our contemporaries. We have, | aleo, presented to our readers the confiden- | tial message of the President, with a por- | tion of the correspondence sent in, in secret session, to the Senate. We should have given the whole of that correspogdence a few days ago, if the great news from France had not thrown a damper over every other sub- Ject and intelligence. We ehall, however, at the first opportunity, give the remainder of thet correspondence, although perhaps it his lost its chief interest in the present condition of the public mind. The treaty itself is now well on its way to the capital of Mexico ; and according | to all probability, the government of that republic will be glad to avail itself of the opportunity of establishing a permanent peace on the basis of that document. Ob- jections have been made to the treaty, in the Senate and elsewhere; but all of them must eink int6 nothingness before the prudence of adopt- ing the first cvance which presented itself of restoring peace to both nations. ‘Tne new draina opening upon the world on the other side of the Atlantic, sets aside ail other events, as small and unimportant, and we even believe that the march of eventsin Mexico will now excite but little interest, and be hardly worth publishing in our Movements vor Gangnat Tavern. We muni candidly sdmit, in spite of our liking for the character and cause of General Tay!or, that the popular movements in his favor, both in the middle and northern States, have, in some de- gree, been failures. Let us give the items. The only meeting of the people approaching to any degree of consistency and force, was that which was held a short time back at Niblo’s Garde», in this city. Every other popular meeting in this latitude, both before and since, has been comparatively unimportant. The recent attempt to get up a meeting at Balti- more, seems to have resulted more unfavorably than even those in New York. For several days past, efforts have been making by the committee which meeta at Military Hall, to get up a mass meeting in behalf of Gen. Taylor; but we doubt much if it can be done with any degree of success. The meeting in the first ward, the other evening, was quitea failure. In New England no attempts seem to have been made in favor of the General, and very few in the Middle Siates, with the exception of New York and Pennsyl- vania, From theee facts, it is very evident that the maeses of both political parties, in the Middle and Northern States, are not ready yet to commit themselves in favor of General Taylor for the next Presidency. In the South and Southwest, his cause appears to be more successful; but in the North, the masses of the people are divided between the two organized parties, and seem to be much more under the control and discipline of previous sentiments and opinions, than pre- pared for novel purposes. The first movement for General Taylor seemed to be taken warmly up both by democrats and whigs. That was about a year ago. Since then, however, the democratic leaders in the Middle and Northern States have entirely abandoned the General’s cause, ag, also,have the masses; and only acertain portion of the whig leaders in this city seem to have followed hia fortunes with any determination of purpose. Ia this city one class of his chief sup - porters are persons connected with the native Americans—some who belonged to the Tyler party, and other politicians, thrown out of both the great leading parties, We have no doubt, however, but that, if Gen, Taylor should be nominated by the whig con- vention in Philadelphia, or by the democratic in Baltimore, the masses would support him; but without such a nomination, there will be great difficulty in forming an independent Tay- lor party, with any prospect of success at the coming election. He will keep for 1852, how- ever. What is the cause of this singular change or coldnessin public opinion? We are inclined to believe that it springs in the main from the re- cent untoward develop2ments upon the military character made since the conquest of Mexico was accomplished. The first impulses of the public mind, influenced by the splendid victories of General Taylor, were all in favor of military men; and even yet, General Taylor, asa wise and pradent man, stands at their head; but the recent developements in relation to General Scott and his fellow officers, have thrown ridi- cule upon the military character out of battle, and, in all probability, will cause the people of this country, of both parties, to forego any at- tempt to make any one of the military chief- tains their next President. This appears to be the present position of things. We will not anawer, however, for its continuance. The revolution which has just taken place in France, will create new issues new feelings, and new views, among the Ameri- can peoples and perhaps the present situation of affairs, as respects our domestic elections, may be entirely changed within the next two months Garat Innictwant or tar Mops. ARTIsts— TreMENpovs ExcrreMENT AMONG THE FasutoNna- ute Loarers.—All the exhibitors of the model artists were indicted yesterday by the Grand Jury. The trials will come off in two or three weeks. We hear that several hundred of the fashionable old rakes and ineffable scoundrels about town—some of them bankers and brokers in Wall street, over sixty years of age—who have been visiting these places before and be- hind the curtain, wills be called up as witnesses on the trial, to tell what they saw on each occa- sion. Their names were taken by the police es they passed into the exibitions. Such an expo sure of art, taste, poetry and licentiousness, will be made on these trials as never took place since the day before the burning of Sodom and Go morrah. See police and city intelligence for further particulars. Late rnow Havana.—The arrival of the bark Harriet Newell, Capt. Gilpatrick, has put us in porsession of filer of the Faro Industrial to the 9th inst. The news con- tained in them is devoid of interest. The season of Car- nival was kept up with much spirit in Havana by balls, parties, and the usual accompaniments of the season ; in fact, tha local news of these papers consists almost en- tirely of notices of balls and festivities. Regarding the Signorita Tedesco, we find the follow- ing notice :— “ There is « probability, we are informed, of the inte- resting Fortuosta remaining at the Tacon theatre for some time to come, though we cannot vouch for the cer- tainty of this information. We do not doubt that Senor Martt keeps in mind not only what is best for his own interest, but also the support and aid which is due to the arte, os also the expressed wishes and desires of his pstrons We presume this is confirmatory of the statement we pudlished a day or two'ago, that Siguorita Tedesco’s feiends bad insisted on ber remaining in Havana.

During the diy Captain Carpenter was invited to view the premises, by Gardaer B. Littlebridge, anelderly man of rather respectable appearance, who had hired the house from the fist of next May, for the pur- purse of keeping boarders; and as the place was unoccu- pied, he intended, between now and that time, to give Shakspearian Tepe esentations. Thisexplanation was not exactly credited by Capt. Carpenter,and early in the even- ing a watch was kept on the house, when at the appoint- ed time the anxious spectators flocked in and soon filled the room to almost suffocation, and the doors ware then locked. On the mantelpiece of this room was a glim- mering lamp, reflecting 8 miserable light; and nesr | folding door were arranged threoor four benches, whi were occupied by the grey and bild headed oid mien, a justing thoir pockot telescopes and enormous opsro ‘glasses, in order f) view more clearly the well made Proportions of the fair srtists.

Mr. Atuenton then proceeded to advocate the bill, in some general ubservations respecting the finances of the goverument, and went into some details explanatory of the report of the Secretary of the ‘Treasury, and some- what in answer to the attack which had been made upon it. He urged the speedy action of the Senate on this bill, os it was intended to advertise the loan abroad. The further discussion of the bill was postponed, at the re | quest of Mr. Webster, who has the flour for to-morrow.

We were glad to seo this, as Mr."Addams by his fine acting during his engagement, has afforded much satisfaction to the frequenters ef this genteel and popu- lar establishment. The play was “Virginijus,” and Mr Addsms appeared“in the charaoter of that name. It Ie one ef the most exciting tagetiee that now claims a place on the stuce, aud the part of Virginius one that requires much discernment and tact for its due perform. anco. All this was bes'owed on it by Mr A, and though we have seen many of the best living tragedians enact it, we think that taken as a whole,Mr. Addams perform it with ae much taste and a asthe character ia capable of. His nobls bearing es the father, the impres- sive mauner in which he bestows his cherished daughter on Ioliius, the outire change in his bearing. when he puts off the father and becomes the patriot soldier rush- low to bsitie in the cause of his country—all were finely done As the trazedy approached its climax bis outing was tru'y fine, The drama of “Theresa, the Orphan o Geneva,” concluded the evoving’s entertainments.

Tae Iravtan Opera —The Italian Opera will re-cpon for the second period of the season on Mondey evening next, at the Astor Place Theatre. We Understand that some changes have been made in th®€imanagement; but what they are it is very difficult to lear accurately, and probably the managers and the committee don’t know themselves, Nominilly the Opera will continue under the ssms managers; but it fs said that really snd truly, some new persons have a finger inthe pie, The report is that they will open with “Luoretia Borgia,” or “Il Giuramento,” the new opera of “Nabuco” not being ready for representation. If neither cf these last operas is to be brought out, we really hope and wish they would bring cut “1 Duo Foseari,” ore of the most beautifal things that has recently been brought out in London or Peris. Hopes aro entertained that the recond sea- son cf the Opera will be better conducted than first. We hope eo too. The difficulties in first sesson grew out of silliness of certain critics and cotorfes, who ted to regi every thiug according to their own narrow intellect purposes Some of these critics endaavored to destroy the harmony snd utility of the compsny. by falsely ele- vating and praising one, and depressing another The igvorance, folly, insipidity, trash, silliness and nonsense woich duriog the first season were written and publish- ed in tEe shape of criticisms, will not, we hope, be iml- tated, or be attempted, during the latter portion of the Opera. The spring is vow approaching, the city will be full of visitors, anu if the troupe and the committee and managers, nll pull together, harmonise and act to- gether, and endeavor to make the Opera, not the arena \ coterie, but a resort for refiuement ond t they may bri Bs together io that beautiful buildin, vast aceession of patrons that may swell their receipts to sometbing respectable before the final close.
