I should like to believe, as I hope, that the power of the press, ani cf steam, and other intellectual agente, will take the place ofcannon and other implements of war; but I fear that monarchies will not wait for such enemies, but will sally forth to stifle them at a distance, and save the contagion of example inthrir own kingdoms.

His pame has associations most dear and sa- cred to the French people. ‘The name of Napoléon makes the eye sparkle, and the pulse beat quicker evon of the present generation in France; bis memory is revered, as his person was belov- ed, and every house known to live, is pret lic, and the visiteris shown to it as t C4 P wes cfone whose memory France cherishes above ail others Panis, March, 2, 1843. The King lost his breakfast on the morcing he esca- ped—when the insurgents entered the palace they found the table not only set, but the repast prepared and served upon it. The King’s servant said to bim just before that time— Your mejerty, there is great excitement among the people, and you will be obiiged to make concessions to appears them.” The King remarked, “that it wes on'y a coffee-house affair, which they would put down iaafew hours” When he made his escape he was de- pendent upon this servant to bring him two shirts; but he could not stop to take any money with him, and at Drux, his friends raised two hundred francs for him to pey his capenses to England. General Bugeaud was st the head of the troops—he had distinguished himself in Algeria, and a! home and abroad he was regarded brave, butan unfeeling and cruel man.

The news from the German States exhibits the condi- tion of the country to be that of Italy, if not soon to be tbat of France. Upon the arrival of the news of the revolution in Prussia, the King was sent for, and immedi ate méasures adopted to strengthen the military forces, preparatcry to internal or foreign difficulties of the most grave character. Large concessions had been demand. ed, and some made tothe people, before the happening of this untoward event for Prussia, and now the demand not conceded, will be moro strenuously insisted upon, Among others, the exemption of the press from censors, and tho trial by jary,are demanded.

Panis, March 4, 1848. March 4th isas great aday in Paris as at Washing- ton. One million of people, probably, have assembled to witaers the funeral rites over the departed dead— tho:e who have died fighting for their liberty and a re- public, and ‘who have“been immortalized sudden'y 4 unexpeo'edly as their sovereign was dethroned. This was probably the pegeant of ali psgeants—the numbers, the occasion, the excitem nt of the public, the plan, could hardly be expected to ocour sgain in the history of tke world. No diecription can give any repre- sentation cf the thing itself, It will want the gran- deur, the centiment, the expression, tho impulee, the life and fitting up of that which really existed. A million of people may assemble, and the arsembly give no evi- dence of @ living, moving impulse, absorbing every other consideratior, and equalliog in expression the con- gregated numbers—it will be w large picture ; bu: the painticg will not speak out, and exhibit ite thousend va- tied and varying characteristic It will not put forth here its gorgeous beauty apd royal roxgnificence; and then put on the livery of mouroing.and drop a tear cf rorrow ; here present the grendeur of power, and there «-otiments of most profound emotion, and the root re- fined ;ensibiiity. It will bs a congregated mara of pro- ple, and that is ell; but not so with this Parisian assem- olage, gathered together to pay the last tribute of re- spsct to their companions in arms, who had died in doing service, that others might er joy the rights of man. The manifestation wes equal to the occas'on, and by tifa'ly approprinte ; there was the Izlise Madeline, the most elegant and magnisornt church im Paris.

I should not be surprised at the most extraordicary and important changes, wi out any warning, and to see an entire new goverament in Paris the nex! week, or rather a new set of men in power. Yet there are no indioations decided that any chaango will take place.

Such are some cf the grave questions which now agitate the European mind; and in reference to which there are ag many conclusions as there are veople todrawthem. Can France maintain arepublic? My impression isin the afl vo Blood may yet flow in rivers in Paria. before the republic becomes stable. The preeent and otber governments may be overturned. The forms, in their dotails, may undergo great changes, and different experiments may give flaco to their succe: cersore; but that ever France will return to monarchy, is not probable. There ise vast and immeasurable dif. er:nse between the condition of the French peop'e of 1792 and 1848, aud a corresponiing difference in the condition of the surrounding States cf Europe.

Some of the French presses are expressing decided dis- approbation with the new goveroment—the compleiate are general rather than defloinite, and it would hat besn fortunate, perhaps, if the national assembly could have been couvoked at earlier day. The power of the provisional goverament is necessarily absolute, and their patronage immense, and, of course, the trial and duties sro onerous in the extreme.

Panis, Morch 7, 1843, The revolution of another year has brought about the celebration of the “Marde Gras,” in Paris. Le Bouf Gras did not make his appearanee in the streets and gar- dens of the Tuillerics, his patron having abdicated du- ricg the past year; but the people did not forget the diy, tosppear in the streets with their masks, or in the evening to attend » most brilliant masked ball, when every shade and color were reflected frem the ridiculous dresses of the maskers. and where was present a scene 80 hideous as to defy any derciiption. The French peo- pl2 cannot Be imitated by the people of any other nation iy their »musements, any more than their revolutions. They co there things in mixed assemblies, which no oth- + people can do, end do them #0 gracefully and gra- ciously that no offence can be taken by any party. and althoagh at these exciting ssenes of pleasure almost. every thing is said and dove that can be said and done, there never was ary thing but uninterrupted mirth ana gaicty These scenes cannot be imitated, and therefore they cannot be introduced with any success inte Eag- land or America, and protably the general impression of our people would be, that they better not be adopted. Yester. was also meworable for the expulsion of the occupants of the Tuilieries, since the revolution, of about two hundred persons who have been liviog thera upon the king’s wine, and sleeping in his beds, and wearing his linen. This palace was cocupied by the familtes of the king and his five eons, before ‘heir flight; and their succesrors having bien living ia the style of kings and princes since that memorable event. These men and women (the latter numbering sixty to seventy) refused to leave beforo, and as they were thoroughly armed, ond had @ counter provisional government, it camo to be quite an underisking to ex- pel them, without causing diftioul They drank, they eat, they slept, they danced, they sung, and they played entirely at the hing’ expense. Most of the women had escaped from the House of R+fuge, during the three Aays of the revolution. But the provisional government undertook tho business in good earnest on Sunday sod Monday of this week, snd finally effected their pur- pore without bloodshed. ‘The contending party endeavored to stipulate for terms, in imltstion of their predvcersors, in the surrender cf castles, and at first demanded bigh; but the masres run- tained the government, and an unconditional surrender, avd perronal search of each one had to be eudmitted to.
