The steamship Washington is now inher fif- teenth day, and may be expected to arrive at any moment. She has had fine easterly winds to help her along. Several packet ships arrived yesterday, making very short passages, one ha- ving sailed from Liverpool and another from Havre on the 9th ult. The Great Meeting—Sympathy for the French Republic. We give in our columns to-day, a full report of the great popular assemblage held yesterday in the Park, to express the sympathy of the peo- ple of New York towards the French people, for the wonderful revolution which they have ac- complished in that country, and the probable es- tablishment of a republic in the centre of Eu- rope. This report will give a full view of the pro- ceedings of the day, and will indicate, at the same time, what are the sentiments and feelings of the whole American republic. The excep- tions are so inconsiderable as not to be worth mentioning. The only hesitation and doubt that have been expressed are in a very few news- papers, and a portion of the United States Se- nate; and that doubt merely refers to the ability of the French people to establish a republic, sur- rounded as they are by the monarchies of Eu- rope. Relationsof the United States with the French Republic. ‘We understand that the government at Wash- ington have received despatches from Mr. Rush, communicating his acknowledgment, in ad° vance, of the French republic, with other infor- mation connected with the recent events in France. It is probable that by the steamer which goes out to-morrow, a reply to the American minister in Paris will be made by the govern- ment in Washington, fully authenticating the conduct of Mr. Rush, and communicating some farther views and instructions relative to his intercouse with the provisional government in France, and any republican government that may hereafter be established there. Of course we have no official account of the facts connected with this diplomatic correspon- dence; but we have the best reason for believing that the American government is disposed, at the earliest moment, to enter into negotiations of a commercial character with the new government of France, based on the highest principles of reci- procity,and opposed to all restrictions on the trade yet existing between the two republics. It is wel known that the commercial intercourse betweenl the two nations, especially the navigation laws, might be moderated and equalized, far beyond what they have been in recent treaties. Under the old French government an immense revenue was exacted from the introduction end use of tobacco in France, it being under a monopoly of the government. Itis probable that this mono- poly will be in a short time given up by the new republic, as a part of its general system of libe- rating all trade and intercourse between free na- tions. The navigation laws will also probably undergo some revision, or attempted revision. Should peace happily be preserved in Europe, by the moderation of the new provisional go- vernment, and their successors in power, there 18 every reason to believe that a new era may be- gin from the date of the recent revolution, in the commercial intercourse of free countries. With- in France there are many local and personal monopolies, as well as some belonging to the government, which are hostile to the principles of the new movement, and which will unques- tionably be removed as soon as the national con- vention is under way, and the new government properly in action. These reforms and changes will affect in no inconsiderable degree the fo- reign trade of France and the United States; and both may be benefitted by the great changes that have already taken place in Paris, and those which must follow such an auspicious event, for political, commercial, and all other kinds of freedom. Secret Investigation in tux Sgenate—Tne Mysrery or Tug Treaty.—The secret investi gation going on for several days past, in the Senate at Washington, in relation to the private business of the New York Herald, is one of the anomalies or absurdities of the present faction in power. Like other journals, at the commencement of every session, we employ reporters and corres- pondents to proceed to Washington, in order to collect information, and to give this information for the benefit of the public, through the columns of the New York Herald. Yor this we pay libe- rally those who are employed in this busi ness. In pursuance of these directions we had, im the past winter, three or four reporters, and sometimes more, as well as correspondents. Their industry and perseverayce nave been ac- knowledged by the public; for upon almost every important occasion, the first authentic ac- wath Mexico was passed in the Senate, we were the first to publish ite contents to the world. Here the matter rested for some days; but after the lapse of about a fortnight or three weeks, the United States Senate all at once makes the dis- covery that the Trist treaty has really been published, its dignity thereby been assailed, and its secrets revealed. They suddenly resolve to know all about it, and to find out in what man- ner the Herald, and the press in general, have been able to publish those important proceedings, tothe public. Accordingly, they ordered our correspondent, who, they thought, knew all about it, to be arrested; they then put ques- tions to him concerning the private business of the New York Herald—questions which they have no right to ask; for our private affairs, provided we do not invade their rights, are none of their businees. Our correspondent fully exculpated all the Senators, although it has been very evident in every debate of thi 8- sion, that come of the Senators must have let out the secret doings and speeches made, since they were all regalarly published inthis and other journals of the neighboring cities — The correspondent of the Jerald, however, refuses to tell, or to answer to more than what relates to the Senate, and denies their right to question him upon our private business, after he has exculpated the Senate, and every Senator, from the suspicion of communicating secret information to us. For this refusal he has been incarcerated at the instance of the Senate; and in such haste was this done, that all the taverns of Washington were scoured one night, in order to drum up a quorum of that grave body so as to pass such a vote. Now what can be the motive and purpose of such a proceeding in such a grave body, that it should commit such an impudent interference with thiegs which do not belong to its jurisdic- tion? What isthe motive of such an impertinent intrusion into the private affairs of a journal pub- lished in the city of New York? We have heard a long story of intrigues enter- ed into by Mr. Polk with Gen. Cass, under the beliet that Mr. Buchanan knew something of the matter, and had given the copy of the treaty, with the view of injuring him at the approaching Baltumore convention, in respect to the Presiden- tial question. If there is any truth in all these rumors, in what a degraded position does it not place Mr Polk, Mr. Hannegan, General Cass, and all the members of any such faction, both in the Senate and out of it, who have endeavored, by violating the freedom of the press—the free- dom of a citizen—and by an impertinent inter- terence with the private affairs of a New York journal—to conduct and manage an intrigue for the purpose of making it bear upon the next Presidential election! There may be more in all these things than meets the eye; we wait impatiently for the denouement. In the meantime, justice shall be done by us, without any exception, to all parties.

The following message was received from the Presi- dent by the hands of his private secretary, J. Knox Wal- ker, Eeq. :— To the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States—I communicate to Congress, for their information, a copy of the dispatch, with the aceom- panying documents, received at the Department of State fcom the Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipot tiary of the United States, at Paris, giving official infor- mation of the overthrow of the French monarchy, and the establishment, in its stead, cf a provisional govern- ment, based on republican principles. This great t Occurred suddenly, and was accomplished almost with- out bloodshed. The world has seldom witnessed a mors interesting or sublime spectacle than the peaceable de- sigaofthe French people, resolved to seoure for them- selves enlarged liberty, and to assert, in the majesty of their strength, the great truth, that in this enligutened ge, man is capable of governing himself. The prompt recognition of the new government by the representa- tive of the United States, at the French Court, meets my fall and unqualified approbation; and he has been autboriz.d, in @ suitable manner, to make known this fact to the constituted authorities of the French republic, called upon to act upon @ #ud- den emergency, which could not have been auti- cipated by his instructions. He judged rightly of the feelings and sentiments of his government and of bis countrymen, when in advance of the diplor tie representatives of other countries, he was the first to recognise, so far as it was in his power, the free govern: ment established by the French people. The pelicy of the United States has ever beon that of non-interver- tion in the domestic affsirs of other countries, leaving to each to establish the form of government of its own choice. While this policy will be maintained towards France, now suddenly transformed from monarchy into & republic, all our eympathies are naturally enlisted on the side of the groat people, who imitating our example have resolved to be free. ‘That such sympathy should exist en the part of the people of the United States with free government in every part of the world, and especially ia Franco, is not remarkable. We can never forget that Francs was our early friend in ovr eventful revolution, and generously aided us in shaking cf a foreign yoke and becoming a free and izdspendent people. We have enjoyed the bl ings of our system of well regulated self-government for near three-fourths of @ century, and oan properly approcite its value. Our ar- dentand sincere congratulations are extended to the pa- triotio people of France, upon their noble, and thus far euccessful efforts to found for their future go- vernment liberal fostitutions timilar to our own. It is not doub‘ed that under the benign influenos of free institutions, the enlightened statesmsn of republican France will find it to be for her true interest and perma- nent glory, to cultivate with the United States the most Mberal principles of international intercoure and com- mercial reciprocity, whereby the happiness and proepe- rity of both nations will be promoicd. JAMES K. POLK. Wasuixeton, April 3, 1843. Leoation o¥ tay Unitep re hia Panis, March 4, 1843. Sin—Scoroely have my despatches of the 24th Februa- ry been folded up, when events of the most momentous na‘ure quickly succeeded cach other. Numerous barri- had risen up in the stroets—otvil war continued— the peoplo were victoricus—the palace of the Tuileries was carried -the King abdicated and fled, with all the royal family, and the monarchy was overthrown. All this happened in the course of the dey, Thursday. Tho Confusion and tumult eaused in the Chamber of Deputies by thews events, led to the hasty gad violent close of its pitting on that day. Ail at- tempts to establish a regoncy with the Count de Paris an successor tothe turone failed. His mother, the Dachess of Orleans, with the young prince himself, went to the chamber, but roon had to make their es- cape, All order—all deliberation—had come to an end. The ministerial members were drivon out by the peo~ pie, who hed entered the chamber, many of them armed, and, with menacing gestioulations, usurping the seats of several. A portion of them, with some of tho opposition members, hurried to the Hotel de Ville, to form a pro- visional government.
