The Hon. Richard Rush, Ambasgador of the United States, accompanied by Dr. Martin and Major Poussin, waited on the members of the provisional government on the 23th ult » to whom he delivered a flattering address. The following details of this interview, are taken from the National. To-day at 2 o'clock, the representative minister from the U. States, went to the Hotel de Ville, in formal recognition of the provisional govera- ment. It was appropriate tothe representative of the American Union, to be the first to wel- come an infant republic; for there is no bond more powerful between nations, than communi- ty of sentiment. The step taken by the minister of the United States, has, under existing cir- cumstances, serious importance. Although fully expected, it has touched, acutely, the members of the provisional government; and alter an inter- view in which were exchanged the noblest ex- pressions, they, ina body, accompanied this rep- resentative of the greatnation, to the threshhold of the Hotel de Ville, as a proof of the cordial affection which must ever exist between the American and French republics. Our latest advices from Paris represent the city as tranquil; but the financial crisis still con- tinues unabated, and some eminent houses are spoken ofas being in difficulty; but no further | failures have been announced. The funds have fallen considerably. Oa the 8th inst. the Three per Cents opened at 50f, and after having been done at 46f, closed at 47f; whilst the Five per Cents opened at 85f, were done at 74f, and closed at 75f. There was no tumult or agitation —al! was sad and gloomy; men came and offered their securities for money only, at whatever prices they could get, but scarcely a buyer could be found. We have just received a telegraph despatch from Folkestone, stating that the French govern- ment had stopped the payment of the Treasury bonds, which they have hitherto ben in the habit of discounting. It is understood that the provisional govern- ment has abandoned the idea of removing Gen Cavaignac from the government guardship of Algiers, in order to place the war department under his care. It is now fixed that Gen. Lamorciére is to be the minister of war. The Archbishop of Paris, accompanied by two Vicars-General, presented himself to the provisional government on Tuesday, and gave in his adhesion to the new order of things, in the name of the entire clergy of his diocese. M. Duclére has been appointed under Secre- tery of State of the ministry of France. Nume- rous diplomatic appointments are announced— M. ci-devant Duc d’Harcourt, goes to London; M. Dalton, to Turin; M. ci-devant Duc de Bois- sy, to Rome; Gen. Faborier, to Constantinople; M. de Saacy, to the United States ; M. de Beau- mont, to Denmark; M. ci-devant Prince de Moskena, to Spain. Forthcoming elections in France excite great attention. Government, aware of the fearful importance of this matter, were preparing for the crisis. Eight hundred mercantile firms, connected with the Pans Bourse, waited jon the Provisional government, to ask fur- ther delay of a month on bills due on the 29:h ultimo, which, by decree of govern- ment, had already been extended to the 10th inst. It not being acceded to, they were said to have threatened to dismiss their clerks and workmen, and announced their determina- tion not to ratify their engagements. Three per cents closed at Paris on the 9h at 52; five per cents at 73f. M. Arago, the Republican Minister of the Marine, sent forthe French Admirals in Paris; they all attended; he then addressed them, and asked if there were any of them willing to serve the republic, they replied—‘‘ All.” He then | said he required a man of courage and steadi- dess; that he knew them all to be so, and he was ready to appoint to the commands of the fleet of the republic, any one they might choose to s2- lect; they declared their willingness to abide by his own decision. M. Arago then said he had | equal confidence in all, but that there was one among them who enjoyed an advantage which determined his choice. He, then, ap- pointed Admiral Beudin, to the command of the Toulon fleet. The nomination was at | once approved by ,all the admirals present.

The intelligesce is of the utmost consequence to the whole world. It is of greater importance than any ever received from Europe. It interests all classes of the community, and will be read with the greatest avidity. Oar latest advices from Paris are of the 10th instant. The revolution in France is now un fait ac- compli. The abdication of Louis Philippe, the appointment and rejection of a regency, the complete triumph of the Parisians over the army, the establishment of onal government, the erection of a repy erthrow of the House of Peers and titles of distinction, the precipitate, abject flight of all the members of the Orleans family, with their misguided minis- tera, to the shores of England, or to other places of exile—the immediate recognition of the new republie of France by Great Britain, Belgium, and the United States, have all fol- uch rapid successton, that the “events a prov 6th —-Sappression of Chamber of Peers, and dissolu- tion of Chamber of Daputies ; conetitation of republic ; | every citizen to be a National Gusrd ; the liberty of the | press guarantied, and freedom of thought secured | Oth—National worksiop to be opened fr the unem- ploy | 10th.—All citizens to remain in arms,and defend their | barricades, till they have acquired all their rights. | 19¢h.—Order to arrest ministers. | 13th.—Abolition of all titles and nobility. | 14:h—Changs of the term rogimants to demi-brigade. 1ith.—Ten days additional time granted, to pay bills | throughout the republic. 16th—Nationel Assembly to | meet on the 20th of April, and decree @ constitution. | Population te be the basis of election.

[From the European Times, March 11 ) The speculations respecting the causes, inci- dents, and probable results of this sudden and mighty social convulsion, are various and in- finite. The facts staad out in historical bold- ness of outline, depicted in such indelible cha- racters, that they must endure till the ‘last syllable of recorded time.” A provisional go- vernment has been organized by the French, the members of which are celebrated throughout the world for genius, eloquence, and science. Some of them are of almost romantic integrity. Carried away by the eloquence of Lamartine, the excited, ungovernable mob of Paris threw down the muskets which, in the first fury of their new-born zeal they had levelled against the popular leader, and, by their unanimous shouts, invested the provisional government with the full authority of the State. As the revolution of 1880 was the work of the bourgeoise, so is the revolutiom of 1848 the act and deed of the working classes, who have seal- ed the inauguration of their pewer with their own blood. The question which every ond asks his neigh- bor, is, “Will it last?” Every man in England, and, we believe, elsewhere, hopes so. Lamar- tine himself says, in his address to foreign powers, “We desire, for humanity, that peace may be preserv- ed; we even hope it.” Sincerely do we re-echo those words, applying them emphatically, even in a more enlarged sense than Lamartine—we hope that peace may be preserved, both without the republic, and within the sphere of its domestic dominion. Our sympathies, nay, our interests, are all inti- mately interwoven with the maintenance of peace ; but the great social problem which these men who are aiming to govern millions by a stroke of the pen, is of too intricate and complex acharacter et once to be solved. The difficult question of human labor, the real and only source of wealth, and its more equal distribu- tion, 18 the great argument, to the height of which they propose to direct all their efforts. Toey may cut this gordian knot, but to unravel it by the slower and surer process of developed industry, founded on peace and security, far ex- ceeds, we fear, the ephemeral power of* any pro- visional government, however absolute or well disposed. To make a government, said Mr. Burke, more than halt a century ago, upona similar occasion, requires no great prudence. Settle the seat of power, teach obedience, and the work is done; but to form a free govern- ment, that ia to temper together the opposite ele- mente of liberty in one consistent work, re- quires much thought, deep reflection, a saga- cious, powerful, and combining mind. The French as yet are but in the first stage of transitions; they must not only teach, but they must secure obedience, before the regular edifice which is to crown their hopes can be raised. If the foundations are laid in peace, the French people may erect a proud monument to conee- crate through all ages the glories and liberties of a mighty and a gallant people; but if the ele- ments of war insinuate their fatal agency into the fabric, the whole will speedily crumble into the dust and perish. The provisional government became constitut- ed by an usurpation, or by the free choice of the people ; bat, however that may be, eleven mem- bers established a supreme authority at the Hotel de Ville—royalty and the peerage were swept away in a few brief lines. But hunger, gauat hunger, with a hundred thousand mouths, yawned round the seat of the government. Something was to be done immediately to appease the multitude. Accordingly, the gigan- tic system of out-door relief was conceived and executed. Formidable legions of Na- tional Guards were formed at a stipend per day. These were sent off to the frontiers. The compact between the employers and the employ- ed was broken-—in a short time decrees passed, limiting the hours of labor. ‘ie journals were also to be propitiated ; accordingly the stamp duty is removed. But these and numerous de- crees will not satisfy the hungry, ror does the taxation of one large class who earn their bread by industry, in order that another class may carry amusket on the frontier, in the garb of a National Guard, tend to carry out to its legiti- mate end, the old received Jacobian doctrine of liberty, equality, and fraternity again. Already the decree has gone forth that a new national assembly is to be called on the 20th of April, when the provisional government will resign its authority into the hands of the defini- tive government. Universal suffrage and vote by ballot are to seoure liberty, equality and fraternity to France. It is quite clear that the good work people of Paris will have the vast majority in the new assembly; and leaving their more or less profitable occupations, will try their hands at statesmanship. In the meantime, com- merce is at a stand. The funds have fallen enormously. Consides course of formation to advise, or overawe, the government... Strikes of workmen are becoming more numerous daily, Operatives demand an inerease of wages, and have expelled large bodies of English workmen fer their rivalry in the construction of railways. The moderate politicians, the representatives of the middle classes, have dieappeared from the scene, amidst the chaos of passions, interests, crimes, with occasional instances of sub!ime virtue, which such a state of things has engendered. England waits with her arms folded, in deep and anxious alarm, for the next scene of this ‘* strange, eventful history.” The Journal des Debats, the ministerial organ, gt the republicans. — The Thiers, Barrot, and Billault parties, have united, and given in their adhesion to the new government. During the revolution, 428 persons were wounded, of whom 350 were civilians, and 78 were military. Antwerp advices state that business was en- tirely disregarded, the general attention being directed to the progressofthe French revolution. Business onthe Bourse is altogether suspend- ed. The stoppage of the Commercial and Royal Banks created tne greatest consternation. Com- mercial transactions are almost gentirely sus- pended. Confidence is totally destroyed the announcement that two large sat 8 used assistance to the public in discounts. So uni- versal was the distrust among the commercial classes that a deputation of merchants and bank- ers sought an interview with the minister, that he might devise some plan which might enable them to resume business transactions, and pre- vent the inconveniences which would ensue should they be compelled to suspend business. A later ‘report announces the failure ot De Linder, the noted banker, but gives a more fa- vorable account of general trade. ri ~The Division Generals who have recognised the republic, are Gen. Lyon, late Mr. Guizot’s colleague in the War Department—Fabvier— Schramm; Auprich, late Governor of Paris; Grouchy, Prevail, Montholon, Fencheres, Omdi- not Achard, Gourgaud, Lahitte and Paixhauze. Panis, March 2d —The public works in Paris have resumed their activity. The cordialities between England and France are confirmed, and a despatch trom Palmerston by Lord Normanby, acknowledging the French republic, is received. Paris, March 4th.—The funeral procession of the killed of the 224, 23d, and 24th of February was a magnificent and solemn affair. The peo- ple, troops, National Guard, and Provisional Government—all ranks and orders of state— united in demonstration. Paris, ‘March 5th.—A deputation from the Chartists of England has been received in public, and their speeches replied to by Garmer Pagee. When they left, the air rung with shouts of Vive la Republique. Paris, March 6th.—Some heavy failures of large commercial houses have transpired. Paris, March 7th.—The Presse states that the provisional government intend placing the tomb of Napoleon under the care of his brother Je- rome, who is to be appointed governor of the in- valides. M. Lambert, who was attached to the house- hold of Louis Philippe, and was Lieutenant Colonel of the 3rd Legion of National Guards of Paris, finding the prospect of a monarchy in France very dim, blew out his brains. A 8 paper states that the commerce cf Paris is in such a condition as to demand the care of the provisional government. A number of merchants met to adopt suitable means of averting a crisis, which they thought was threatened. They considered that the establish- ment of a discount bank, with a capital of twenty thousand francs, would meet the exigen- cles. Capital was proposed to be furnished thus :—~ Three millions by the merchants of Paris, in coupons of 1,000 and 500 francs ; five millions to the city of Paris; twelve millions from the pub- lic treasury. By means of this sum, commercial paper could be discounted and public works fa- cilitated. The proposition was received with favor by the Bank of France. The provisional government, proposed M de Lamartine as Minister of Foreign Affairs. He is a poet and philosopher, and an out-and-out po- pular favorite M Arago, the perpetual mporetey. of the meen Sciences, is a great chemica philosopher. He was born in 1786, and _possess- mens te not inferior to his scientific attain- I jen.8. Carnot, the new Minister of Public etruction, was born in 180%, ann ranks as one of the purest and most sincere French democrats. M. Duront pg L’Eurg, President of the Coun- cil, is a virtuous, able man, esteemed by the peo- ple. In 1842, he determinedly opposed the base Guizot ministry, and was returned for four col- leges in the department Eure, on the principles he advocated. " 4 M. Armanp Manast is the talented editor of a republican paper. The National, and uncompro- misingly opposed the sway of Louis Philippe on all occasions. | . a M. Marc, minister of public works, is a great advocate, who sided with political offenders. M. Garnia Pace, the Mayor of Paris, is an ad- vocate who has retained a character both up- right and respectable. . Ledru Rollin was prosecuted by the late government for a speech to the electors of Mairce, where he wes chosen. He is an extreme radica| reformer, to whom is attributed the opinions of La Reformé. He went to Ireland, in 1843, to of- fer O'Connell and the Repeal Association the sympathy and assistance of France in her strug- gle jor liberty, which were rejected. Gen. Subervic, is a General of Napoleon’s crea- tion. He has won a name in the campaigns in which he then served. ‘ M. Goudchaux, is a banker of second or third order, and only known as being a liberal in opin- ion, which was the cause of bringing him for- ward He isalso known by the assistance he gave to Le Nationel. M Albert, is a mechanic, who has been called to the provisional government as a politic mea- sure. Why should ue not furnish his share of experience and patriotigm, ina republican admi- nistration? His exemplary conduct and remark- «ble skill in his profession had already gained him the esteem of his jerialcy eit and the confi- dence of fellow workmen, of which he received proof by his nomination as Councilor de Prud- hommes, an excellent institution for preserving order between man and master. General Bed-au is now in his 44th year. He is from the school ot St. Cyr, and was appointed to the staff. He served in ’8S on several occa- sions in the Royal Guards, in the 2d Regiment Horse Artillery. He was Aid-de-Camp ot Gene- ral Ferrier, Gerard and Schramm and made the campaign of Belgium in 1834 and 1832 and for the fast 12 or 14 years has been among the most active and distinguished young African Generals Cavargnac, the new Governor of Algiers, 1s a nephew to General Viscount Cavargnac, son of the Conventional Depnty and brother to the fa- mous republican of the Army of the People. He is now 46. M. Creimux, the provisional minis- ter of justice was the deputy from Chinon, a for- midable opponent of the late ministry, exposing its vices and weakuess on all occasions. GREAT DEMONSTATIONS BY AMERICAN CITIZENS. On the 6th of March inst., the provisional government received a deputation of two hua- dred and eighty citizens ot the United States, who walked to the Hotel de Ville, bearing American and French flags on the same staff. Mr. Gooptica, in the name of his countrymen, presented a briet and complimentary address, saying:—Gentlemen, members of the provisional French government—As citizens of the United States, and American spectators of recent events we have come to offer our congratul tions, and to ask your acceptance of two flags as emblems of eternal alliance between France and the United States. 4 ‘ Grateful recollections of past ties, the amity which has existed between you and us promp' us to be the first to testify to you and the pe ple of France, the sympathy, respect and admi- ration with which recent events inspire us— acknowledging the right of every nation to form its own government. We sincerely congratu- late you on the mighty revolution you have iretadd, and may we be permitted to felicitate France on the choice of a republican system, recognizing the true basis on which all just go- vernment must, rest, The great principles of liberty and political equality have been the basis on which depended your recent struggle. ane We have admitted the magnanimity of the French people and their self command in the hour of triumph, and speedy return to order and law alter great tumultand confusion.

We have great pleasure in announcing the ar- rival of the ex-king and queen of the French.— The king on Janding had on a green blouse, and blue overcoat, borrowed from the captain of the Express. The king had not, in fact, a change of clothing. The ex-king and queen have for some days been moving from farmhouse to farmhouse, inthe neighborhood of Treport; they were nearly exhausted by fatigue ; and, on his arrival, the king stated that, on a night or two back, he thought he must have given himself up. On Thursday, Louis Philippe and the ex-queen, with amale and female attendant, who had, during the week, constituted the suite of their roya! master and mistress, embarked 1n a French fish- ing boat, frem Treport, with the intention of at- tempting to cross the channel. At sea, the party was picked up by the Express, the Southamp- ton and Havre steamboat, which immediately steamed for New Haven, off which harbor :she arrived at 7 o’clock in the morning. On landing, the ex-king and queen were wel- comed by the inhabitants, nearly the whole of whom flocked out, and were gratified by being shaken by the hand by Louis Philippe. The ex-King and Queen proceeded to the Bridge Hotel. His Majesty’s first act on reaching the hotel, was to despatch a messenger to Brighton to procure the attendance of Mr. Parkhouse. The second, to write a letter to our gracious sovereign, communicating intelligence of his nari’ The following is, we believe, a correct state,,ent of the present abodes of the different members of the family :—Louis Philippe and Marie Amelia, who have assumed the title of Count and Countess de Neuilly, are at Claremont, with whom are also the Duc and Duchess de Nemours and two children, the Count d’Eu, the Due de Alengon, and the Due and Duchesse de Montpensier, the Duchesse Augustus of Saxe Coburg. The Princess Cle- mentina is staying with her husband, the duke, ona visit to her Majesty at Buckingham palace. The Duchesse d’Orleans, with the Count de Paris, and the Duc de Chartres, are stated to have arrived at Emsonthe 2d. The Duc and and Duchesse d’Aumale, and the Prince and Princess de Joinviile, are at Algeria. On the date of the latest intelligence from that city, the Queen of the Belgians, Princess Louise, was at Brussels. ‘The Important Events in other parts of Europe. Our latest foreign news 1s not much in amount, but is important. SICILY. It is rumored at Marseilles that the king of Naples has complied with the demands of the people of Sicily. The ministry have resigned. ITALY. The news from Italy is important. It was an- nounced some days back that the marshal law had been proclaimed in Lombardy by order of the Austrian government. It appears that the worst effects have been caused by this deplorable reign of terror; and, in consequence, the ordina- ty code of laws have been suspended. The Jesuits, alarmed by the hostile demon- strations made against them by the people, have already quitted the city of Turin. The journals of Turin fully appreciate the tendency of the French revolution, and now are encouraging the king to put himself at the head of the na- tional forces to effect the salvation of Italy.— Advices from Genoa announce the arrival of an American squadron in that port on the 3d inst. The latest advices from Naples state that the king has once more violated his solema word of pro- mise, and has carried fire and sword into the city of Messina, which has been bombarded dur- ing 42 hours by royaltroops, The Ponto Franco is almost entirely burned down, causing a loss of ten million francs. Itis said that the Mes- sinese have attacked the citadel of that city, and taken it by assault. The people are not only prohibited from meet- ing together in certain places, but are forbidden to wear particular colors. PRUSSIA. A correspondent at Cologne writes, that the middle classes of Prussia, asin other Rhenish States, are determined to achieve political inde- pendence, and have potential voice in govern- ment; they are peaceful, but resolutely devoted to the country, and firm in asserting their rights. ‘We are happy to. announce that the conduct of the King of Prussia in regard to the French re- public 1s precisely what might have been expect- ed from a monaren who has shewn himself ani- mated by eo constitutional a spirit at home—who, while he governs his people in the way best suit- ed to their welfare, is ready to edmit the right of other nations to be dae according to their own fancies, provided those fancies do not inter- fere with the general peace. The extraordinary aH trae of Kelnesche Zeitung of the 4th inst , brings intelligence that whilst the Council were sitting the previous night in the Town Hall, a riotous croud gather- ed in front, loudly ee that the membera, ia the name of the people, should proclaim the following rights :— ‘ Ist.

The Governor of the Rhine, in the province of Herr Eichmann, promised to forward to the King of Prussia, the suggestions and views of several members of the United Diet—chiefly the Fepeesensatives of that province, respecting the reforms and confessions called for under pre- sent circumstances. AUSTRIA. The reeignation of Metternich was announced for a certainty in Paris onthe 8th instant. There was a grand council ef all the ministers im- mediately held on hearing from Paris. Couriers were despatched in all directions. Count de Flahant, French Ambassador at Vienna, is said to have fuinted on hearing tha news of the abdi- cation of the king. He started next day for England. Thirty thousand troops are to advance to Italy, without delay. The account of the revolution in Paris reach- ed Vienna on the Ist instant, and produced a profound impression. “ The consternation which prevailed,” says a writer in the National,” can- not be described. The 5 per cent Metallics fell from 91 to 82. The intelligence from Italy, received in Vienna, was any thicg but satisfac- tory. BAVARIA. At Munich a rising has taken place, and a con- stitution has been extorted from the king at the point of the bayonet. Prussia was arming, but wont interfere. he Gorm an Siates are on the brink of a vol- cano. SPAIN. In Spain, the French party was overthrown. Christina was in despair—Marvaet had proposed suspension of individual guaranties of liberty. Two millions of pounds were obtained to sup- port the Queen and throne. _On reception of the news from France, coun- cils of ministers were held, and important deter- minations are said tohave come to. One was to send for the Duchess de Montpensier at re- quest of Queen Mother, and she was to be ac- companied by the Duke. Our correspondent adds that Queen Christina was so much affected by the news from Paris that it was found neces- sary to bleed her. It 18 also said that she had had an audience with Mr. Bulwer. The Duke De Alumadh had left Madrid for the purpose of inviting the Duke and Dachess De Montpensier to proceed to Madrid. The garrison of Madrid were kept under arms. The guard sentries doubled, and it was said that fitty thousand of an army of observation had been ordered to the Pyrenees, The Government Journals were for- bidden to speak of the events of Paris. All the papers and correspondence which reached Ma- drid on the 29th was stopped. Still enovgh was allowed to ooze out to show that something extraordinary had happened. The Ceurt balis were stopped and Queen Christina was taken toher bed. The Progressiste leaders in the Cortes were preparing to resist, and ex- tracrdinary powers were demanded by Narveez. The committee of Congress had reported in favor of them. BELGIUM Bruszels was greatly disturbed on hearing the news of the revolution. Summary means were taken to suppress popular malcontents. GERMANY. Accounts from Frankfort to March 4th, say that the Burgher’s Guard had assembled in different parts of the town and paraded the streets, crying, ‘Vive la Republique The people demanded the same terms as were granted by the Duke of Nassau; but, after receiving assurances from one of the authorities that a free press should be granted, they retired without committing any excess.— The papers throughout Germany teem with sym- pathies for the sufferers in the French revolu- tion. An express was sent off with the approval of the republic. Considerable fermentation was manifested in the minds of many, since the announcement the streets and wharves hav: been thronged. ; GREAT BRITAIN. It could scarcely have been anticipated but that the great movement which has convulsed Feance, should have been felt in some degree in the Britieh islands. Ta London a trifling disposition to mot was exhibited inthe earlier part of the week, but the disorders were confined to the mischievous boys and artizans out of employment—erder was speedily restored. In Glasgow the tumults were more serious, and several persons have been un- fortunately shot by the military. The rioters in that city were merely thieves, who plundered the shops, and had evidently neither concert or any political object in view. In Manchester some tendency to disturbance has been exhibited, but every thing is now quiet. In Liverpool tranquillity has been undisturb- ed; numbers of unemployed porters and. others have assembled on the Exchange, but no politi- cal feeing is observable. In Ireland no breach of the peace has yet taken place; but the exciting language of a certain por- tion of the press, which surpasses any thing within our recollection, has not escaped the atten- tion of the authorities. We have no apprehension of eny serious dis- turbance of the public peace throughout Eng- land generally, arising from political opinions, although the depressed state of trade, and the existing uncertainty naturally incidental to the affairs on the continent, must, we fear, produce a state of disquietude and suffering amongst nu- merous classes, for some time to come. Nelson’s monument railing pulled up. Fight- ing—no lives lost. Thirty or ferty persons wounded. Military were under arms, and the magistrates were assembled at the Town Hall. At Dumfries and Paisley riots were appre- hended. An address of congratulation to the French people was agreed to by the committee of the Repeal Aesociation, who held an open meeting on the Gth—the Lord Mayor presiding. The at tendance was immense, anticipating a reference to the French revolution. The new repeal jour- nal, the United Irishman, contains extraordinary articles, inviting the people to arma, and show- ing how barricades can be erected, and also how telegraphs can be destroyed, railroads torn up, and a city street warfare carried on. Its editors ask those men who have not guns or pistols, to sell their garments and purchase. The excite- ment produced in Ireland has been intense. The address to the Irish people was agreed on, which thus concluded. We are ready to forget party injuries for the sake of our country; in her service, humiliation, danger, sacrifice or death, are welcome where required. Whoever lea we follow—insisting that we march forward, though graves were to yawn, and gibbetste our path. Resolutions expressive of a desire to forget differences, and to unite with all repealers, were brou; forw ber Etc adopted. Mr. John 0’Con sued an address to the people, exhorting them against being led ray by designing dema- gogues on the appreaching demonstration, preaching peace and moral force. The country corporations have voted address. es. Illuminations have taken place, with bon~ fires and rejoicings. General meetings are to take place in every parish—some were convened for the 17th March, St. Patrick’s di A monster meeting wasto have been held in Dublin on the same day on the subject of the military wearing side arms in the streets.
