During the last week or ten days, a number of preliminary meetings have been held by various classes of the people, and all creeds, expressive of the same feeling towards the French revolu- tion. The meeting to-day will embrace the whole population of New York, ofall classes and all parties, without any distinction of creed, birth, politics or race. It will be one of the greatest and most sublime spectacles of a public meeting, that probably ever tock place in this country. It is only the beginning of public meetings throughout the republic. Thus far the revolution in France has been hailed with en- thusiasm and delight, with some few and incon- siderable exceptions, thore exceptions being a single journal in New Bedford, the National Ine telligencer at Washington, and a portion of the United States Senate. The people, however, in the enthusiasm of the moment, will overcome all obstacles, and a strong hope is entertained that it will succeed, in spite of the fears of even the friends of republicanism. A full report of this great meeting will be con- tained 1n the columns of the Herald to-morrow, in time to be transmitted to any part of Europe, by the steamer which sails from Boston for Li- verpool, on Wednesday. The Herald for Europe will also contain a resumé of these events, in the French language. Present and Prospective State of Englands The French revolution, the spark which has fired the train ot combustion in Europe, is, in- deed, a portentous omen. Nations that have for centuries and centuries endured the oppres- sor’s yoke, feel at once a new life, are instilled | with a new principle, animated by a new spirit ; and that spirit is resistance to oppression, and the bursting of the bonds and shackles of mo- narchy. The great truth has been established | in Europe, as it has been in America, that the ereature whom the Creator formed in his own | image, is capable of self-government. The in- stinet which the God of Nature has implanted in the breasts of mankind, has triumphed, and man, ir the consciousness of his might and his strength, has arisen from the slumber of ages and proclaimed in thunder tones, that, like the rest of God’s work, he will, and he shall be free. We live in a momentous and extraordinary pe- riod of the world’s history. The whole family of humanity are in a state of transition. The prejudices, the opinions, and the landmarks of centuries are burst asunder; and man, in his might and strength, stands forth as a new being— the prerogative with which nature invested him is asserted, and, in the pride of his victory, he proclaims that he can govern himself. Such, in truth, 1s the new position which the world has thus assumed. The small cloud in the Western horizon, which at first appeared no larger than a man’s hand, has in a day obscured the horizon, and enveloped the whole of the Eastern continent. The decree has gone forth— the die is casc—and henceforth and forever the rale of monarchy virtually ceases in the Old World, and man, through the width and breadth of the world’s confines, will ere long become as nature intended—one fraternal band, animated by but one instinct, and having bat one object in view—the happiness and welfare of his race. We have already noticed the causes which have produced this great change, and we shall merely confine ourselves in this article to the results which it will effect on the country trom which we have derived our Janguage, our reli- gion, and our laws. Once the mistress of the | world, by land and by sea, protected as her sons believe by guardian angel, and possessing ter- ritories and colonies in every part of the globe, civilized and uncivilized, England totters, and her fall is nearer at hand than people imagine. Monarchies, like card houses, are safe as long as they are untouched ; but, asin the one case, the breath of a child, so in the other the breath | of a people, reduces and razes them to the ground. Forcenturies England has been but an edifice of cards. The shock has come, the breath of a people is about to be blown, and she falle— never to rise asa monarchy. If France, in the words of her ex-monarch, has had her last king, England has, and in a short time will have had, her last queen. It will unquestionably be doubted whether England 18 in this state; but we opprehend thata little examination and thought bestowed on her condition, will set the matter at rest. In the first place, ehe is incumbered with a national debt of eight hundred millions of pounds ster- ling, the principal of which she never expects to pay ; but the interest of which isa tax, not only on the income of the country, but on its very industry. The expenses of her rovalty—we mean the cost of maintaining the royal family— amounts to the sum of nine hundred and thirty- four thousand pounds sterling. These are but two items of the immense tax bill which the laboring end productive classes of England have from year to year to provide, Formerly, while that country swept the Beas, and wae javinolble United States has proved that glory is not a nation’s strength. In the second place, the peo- ple, through the effect of the press, have learned that military glory is not an essential greatness ; and on reflection, believe that the quarrels of monarchs, in nine cases out of ten, concern but little the masses of the people, and in all cases have served to retard the progress of freedom, and fastened on them the heel of the oppressor. The progress of opinion evolved by the power of the press, has been so great within a few years, that reforms have been achieved which a quar- ter of a@ century ago, would have been considered chimeras. Step by step, the peoplé have awoke from their dream: broad truth has just been manifested to them, that they, and they alone, are the source of all power in human affairs. The reform bill, the free trade bill, the Jewish and the Catholic emancipation bills, are evidences of the progress of political knowledge ; but these changes, great ae they were considered, are nothing compared to what will follow, in less time than people have any conception of. A moment’s consideration willlead the mind to the conclusion that Eng- land is tottering, and that her fall will be imme- di She has Ireland, with her eight or nine millions of discontented people, gnawing at her very vitals. The convulsions which follow all revolutions, will follow the recent one in France; and then there will be thrown out of employment her thousands and tens of thousands of weavers and manufacturers. Scotland is uneasy, and needs but an excuse to cut her connexion with England. Ireland 18 in an uproar. The persecution and tyranny of ages have rendered her an implacable enemy. Already her press teems with the most inflam- matory and revolutionary articles—her people are incensed, and loud and deep are the curses which are hourly levelled against the cause ot her troubles. A few years ago, such language es is now used in the press would consign the author to a felon’s cell. Now, however, the times are changed, and the first prosecution of the press and a revolution in England, will date together. Such a result is inevitable. Let the Irish press continue to speak as it now speaks, and a revolution is certain. Let the government attempt to suppress it, and a revolution is equally sure. In either case, the masses will be in, arms. But it may be said, what cana mob or an infuriated populace do against an armed and disciplined soldiery 2 For an answer, we point to France, and show what hes been effected there. To be sure, the military of England have never, at any former period, evinced any desire to fraternise with the people; but are the milita- ry of Eogland an exception to the rule which has been working for half a century past? But even without that consideration, and supposing the whole military force of Great Britain to re- main loyal to the government, in case of civil war, what would be the result, in case of a con- flict? She has no more than thirty thousand regular troops in Great Britain. Let a revolu- tion break out in Ireland, and the whole would be needed there; and can Scotland, or England itself, be left without a military force? Again, a revolution in Ireland would certainly be fol- lowed by an outbreak in Scotland, and the con- tagion would extend to England itself. What then would become of the government?!—of what use would be her thirty thousand, or a hundred thousand, or five hundred thousand, aye, or a million of troops against a whole people? The mere physical force of the latter would over- come an army, were itas great in numbers as that of Xerxes. The revolution and downfall of monarchy in France came like a thuoder clap on a majority of the people; and similar news respecting England, will likewise come on them unaware, and much sooner than they expect. The more the subject is examined, the more certain it appears that the downfall of England is morally certain within a very short time, and } much sooner than people expect. - Can France Br a Repustict—This seems to be a great problem, with some philosophers on this side of the Atlantic. As we possess some information on the present condition of France, we mean to enter into the investigation of the problem soon, and with calmness and impartiah- ty—price two cents a dose. Doubts have been expressed whether the French people, the French nation, or the French character, can suc- ceed in establishing a permanent republic, in the | present state of Europe, similar to that of the United States. There are difficulties in the way, no doubt; but from the best atten- tion we can give the subject, we have come to the conclusion that there is the finest and best prospect for the establishment of @ magnificent republic, and a successful one, that has ever taken place in the civilized world. Many of the notions casting deep doubts over the prospects of France, come to us through the Eoglish newspapers. Now, it is well known that the writers in the Englieh journals are un- able rightly to comprehend the position of things in France, or the materials which exist there for the establishment of a republic. Americans, or foreigners who may have lived many years in this country, and studied our republican insti- tutions, are much better able to judge and specu- late on French effairs, in the present c Englishmen never can Forgion Corresronpence oF THE HeRaip.— One of our cotemporaries in Wall street, takes great credit to itself for its foreign correspon- dence, and claims it to be the best of any Ameri- can newspaper. We beg leave, most reepectful- ly, to deny this assertion. We have shown, in the columns of the Herald, that our foreign cor- respondence is fuller, more complete, prompt, and comprehensive than that of any other jour- nal in this country. This is admitted by all im- partial readers and enquirers. The first con- nected and perfect account of the recent revolu- tion, was published in the Herald; and our sub- sequent letters have given a more cemprehen- sive view of the porition of affairs in France and Kurope, than any other journal. We mean even to improve on what we have already ac- complished in our foreign correspondence, and have taken measures to extend and increase it all over the different countries of Europe, so as to be enabled to be the first to give the best and fullest information of the changes, reforms, aod wevolutions which may be expected to take place during the ensuing year in that region of the world. Scungs purine THe Turex Days in Paris — We give to-day, a very interesting description of the recent three daysin Paris, from the pen of a distinguished literary man, well known in this country, Peter Parley, (S. G. Goodrich, ot Bos- ton) This gentleman describes, in the most graphic language, the scenes which he himself saw in Paris, in the course of his perambulations, during the three days. Itisintensely interesting, and will be read with great delight. Mr. Good- rich, or Peter Parley, has resided in Paris for several years. Abouta year ago we saw him among the presentations at the Tuileries, and also atthe grand ball, in the midst of scenes somewhat different from those which he de- scribes in his letter. Another interesting scene which we give, is the last day in the defuact Chamber of Deputies, translated from a Paris journal. This has not been given before, with any degree of accuracy or fuliness. It will be read with thrilling inte- rest. ‘Tas Conronation-«‘Thzre Pacnanp Ravoaue. —The spring election again approaches, and the hordes of aspiraats for corporate honora and of- fice are already on the qui in each of the wards. The present Corporation have now been 1n office since the llth of May, last year; and when we consider the arrogant bluster and idle parade made by them, on the subjects of econo- my, reform, and retrenchment in the public ex- penditure, before their installation, and look back up6n what they have done during nearly their eleven months in office, we unhesitatingly declare, that no body of men, invested with civic authority by the votes of their fellow-citizens, have ever had a less claim upon a renewal, in the city of New York, of the sufirages of their constituents—should they again have the effront- ery to solicit them—than the present Common Council ; and we will also add, that within our recollection, no body of public servants have de- served more justly to be drummed out of office for their inefficiency and wilful imposition up- en the public at large. Since the date of their official installation, up to the present moment, we look in vain for any decent or comprehensive improvement, such as they had promised, on taking the oath af office, on the day we refer to. The Mayor’s message—like that of the Presi- denv’s, generally—foreshadows the views and objects of the party in power. This impor- tant document is generally believed to be a correct exponent of the policy by which the city administration isto be guided. Weeschew all mention of the ad captandum ward speechifi- cations—the plausible addresses—and the ridicu- lous denunciations of all the public acts of their different predecessors—such as marked the pro- ceedings of the present party in office previous to their election; but we shall briefly glance at the Mayor’s message, sent in to both boards on the 11th May, 1847, and see how far the corporate fathers have carried out the proposed measures of reform and improvement embraced in this important document. Ia relation to the Mayor’s message, it should be borne in mind that the different suggestions contained therein, in relation to the proposed measures of reform, were looked upon by our citizens as a sort of embodiment, given in good faith, of the sentiments and views of the present Common Council, who were placed in office by the same party thatelectea the Mayor; and hence, the whole production was looked upon, at the start, as the cynosure of their official aspirations, un- til they began to discuss the merits of “canvas back ducks,” and taste the flavor of strong bo- hea and gunpowder in the “tea room,” as well as to partake of some of the Corporation pap in the printing and other departments—of which, more anon: lt appears by the Mayor’s message, that, ac- cording to the Comptroller’s report, the tetal debt of the city, up to 80th April, 1847, amounted to $12,687,833 99. This is made the theme of a very long and just remonstrance by his Honor the Mayor, who suggests the most rigid economy and retrenchment in every branch of the public service. After reviewing in detail the state and prospects of the Alms House Department, and briefly glancing at the defects in the police sys- tem, the message next refers to the ‘‘ enormous expenditures” in relation to “ cleaning streets,” showing the amount of expenditure, under this particular head, to have reached up to the net sum of $117,197 30, and that up to May, 1847, since the commencement of said year, there had been expended for said pur- pose $57,49518. The message throws out in detail, many useful suggestions on thi ji proposing to divide the city into eight districts, and also that provision should be made to have the great thoroughfares swept before seven o’clock in the morning, and that the manure and rubbish immediately be removed from the city. {t further suggests that this was a matter of such deep importance that early action thereon should Conngcricut Euscrion.~The election in Con- by lead, her cltivene cheerfully vontribyted to th? ewpepese of the Bhate, byt che hietery of the necticut takes place to-day. It ie for (overnor | and. begiaiature; the Legieiature aye to eleet two | United Storer Sonatas A be taken by the Common Council. The lamps and gas departments, the sewerage system, the Croton department, next severally come under notice; and ali the suggestions in reference thereto, are very excellent, and read well on paper. We then have a long paragraph on the “extravagant” expenditure in the print- ing and stationery department ot the last year, amounting to $26,615 72, which the message proposes should be promptly corrected by speedy action. After some further suggestions in rela- tion to the appropriation of ferriage revenue for public purposes, and the application of a portion thereof for the extinguishment ot the city debt, with some further general and very useful sug- gestions in relation to the subjects of economy and retrenchment, the message concludes. The above is amere rough, or skeleton, outline of the Mayor’s message, sent in to both boards on the 11th May, 1847, which very wise- ly and properly concludes by calling the attention of the Common Council to the fact that his honor Mayor Brady, had ne power to “‘originate”’ any of the desirable reforms here referred to, but could only see that any laws passed upon these subjects be faithfully executed; at the same time, tendering his cordial ‘‘co-operation” upon any and every measure of retrenchment and re- form that the worthy fathers might deem proper to propose. We had a great flourish of trumpets, for some few weeks, amongst the worthy members, whilst the work of decapitation was going on amongst the office-holders who remained in under the former Corporation; and week after week, and month after month have now expired, and yet we look in vain for the consummation of those glorious reforms so barefacedly and impudent- ly thrust forward by the wily politicians of the Common Council, and made the subject of grave imposition upon Mayor Brady, to parade for effect in his inaugural message. Now, on casting our eyes back, and looking in all directions for any decent semblance—any one redeeming act—that could justify this body of imbeciles in again seeking the suffrages of the insulted citizen¢ of New York, we are diy at a loss to find out some one ‘oasis in the desert,’ of their culpable and shameful recklessness of any thing pertaining to the advantage of our citi- zens. The state of the lamps is a matter of nightly complaint—with bad oil, bad gas, and even little of either—as these lamps are some- times put out, as early aneleven o'clock at night. The streets, the very sewerage of which they attempt to make boast, and for which the taxes have been so enormous—the Croton itself—ihe police system; in a word, ell the recommenda- tions in the message, have been treated with a contemptuous indifference, up to this very date— the last week in March, 1848. But there is one item that seemed to have, in particular, stricken the consciences of our scrupulous city legislators, viz: that naughty, enormous, and “extravagant” sum of $26,615 72, for printing. Alderman McElrath, on reading this item, ran from it, we are told, as one laboring under hy- drophobia would from a sight of the Falls of Ni- agara. But veritable Alderman, pious Alder- man, Fourierite Alderman McElrath, had no sooner taken his place in the Board, than out of “pure regard” for Horace Greeley—sot,of course, for himself—he secures the fat priating job, with the dressings, the parings, and the numberless et ecteras, attached thereto, for the Tribune, where, of course, the most rigid economy is observ- ed in the distribution of the business. Now is not such a contract, in the hands of Alderman McElrath, a flagrant violationaf law on this sub- ject? It reminds us cf the gee er oil sa tracts” of Cherlich notoriety, where the contsao wae g one of ihe Assis: McElrath, in the case of the Tribune, had not the conscience to participate or share in the profits. This is only one of the fat jobs perpe- trated in the Common Council, while the fe ings, the fétes, the ‘“tea-room,” and the inordi- nate passion for “canvass back ducks,” and that delicious sort of game called “timber- doodles,” vulgo woodcock, have actually already placed the city treasury in ‘rather a delicate fix.” The Corporation have not long to live, and the day of reckoning is close at hand. Mean- while, we shall be curious to see what our next Mayor will say in relation to the printing and stationery of the present board. ‘‘ We shall see what we shall see.” Tueatnicats, &c.—During the Jast week or two there was a considerable revival in the | gitimate drama, and also in opera and musi This revival has principally manifested itself since the suppression of those obscene exhibi- tions called model art It is true, the Park theatre continues closed; but that has arisen prin- cipally from bad management, antique tactics, and a species of Louis Philippism iu its government. There’s the Broadway has been quite prosperous for the last fortaight. Anderson has played there to full houses, and for this week we believe Blangy has been engaged as a danseuse. Col, Mann’s face loeks rounder and rosier than ever. So, likewise, with the Opera. Considering the facility with which the opera people make their announcements, and change them when the time of performance arrives, the troupe has been won- derfully successful last week, and drawn very good houses. A new opera istobe given this week; and fromthe number of strangers of rank and fash- ion who come to the city in the beautiful month of April, there is every reason to believe that the Opera will be more crowded in its latter days than it wasinitsinfancy. One thing in favor of its success is the probability that the vapid and silly criticisms perpetrated and inflicted on the public by a certain set of empty fellows, who call themselves musical critics, have entirely sranerated from the columns of the daily jour- nals. Thus we go—the cheap theatres, the Bowery, the Chatham, and others, are full every night. The legitimate Broadway is in the same condi- tion ; the Opera ditto. Fashionable amusements have very much improved, and for this we are in- debted somewhat to the legal authorities and the Grand Jury, for the prompt and decided suppres sion of the indecent exhibitions of the model ar- tists. Times are looking up, and so are stocks. Annuat Exuirrion or Paintinas.—The an- nual exhibition of the National Academy will open to-day. This will be a fashionable lounge tor five or six weeks. We understand that there is a number of very choice paintings in this ex- hibition; some middling ones, and a good many execrable. Among the friends of art—and this increasing in this country—some in- felt in the progress of painting. To tis necessary to have correct and in- dependent criticisms of our exhibitions. For this purpose we hereby offer for cri ms on this exhibition, from three to ten dollars a co- lumn, according to quality and character; and we require our contributors to send in their critiques as fast as possible—the money to be paid on their publication. We will not say but we will make the same offer for good musical critiques, as well as tor those on paintings. Mexican Paizes.—The U.S. schooner Bonita captured two schooners of about 50 tons each, manned by Spaniards. They were engaged in smuggling tobacco between Laguna and Tobas- co. The Bonita brought them to Tobasco, where they arrived about the 26th of February. The Great Demonstrativn, to-day, in Favor of the French Revolution, The following pregramme of the great demonstration in favor of the French revolution, to take place in the Park, to-day, will give our readers correct information in relation to all the particulars. It will enable our citizens, in general, to see the position assigned for all in the demonstration :— THE PROGRAMME—THE FRENCH REVOLUTION. the national and city jay~ ‘ity Hall, flanxed by thetri-color,frome rk. of one hundred guns will be fired in the Park, at suarise. The City Hall will be illuminated at dark. and a dis play of fira-works will close that part of the proceed- ings taken charge of by the city authorities. At tour o’clock, the men of ail nations will assemble at their headquarters, aud march to the Park in proces- sion.
