The steam packet ship Washington, Capt Johnston, was telegraphed at eleven o’clock yesterday morning, then about forty miles from this city. She sailed from Southampton on the 2Ist ult., and her news is nine day’s later than that re- ceived by the Caledoni . Our special express steamers Telegraph and Jacob Bell, immediately boarded her and brought our files to this city, nearly two hours in ad- vance of the arrival of the W. at her pier. It is almost unnecessary to say that the news is of the highest importance. The example of France has been followed in Austria and Prussia, in both of which capitals fighting has taken place, and many lives lost.— Prince Metternich has been dismissed. Germa- ny wishes for a German parliament, a national flag, and a confederate army—Hungary is said to have declared for a republic—Lombardy is on témpurg afe’burning Gown’ tue casnes*or nit"no- bility—all the States are arming—commerce is at a stand still, and a European war or the gene- ral establishment of democracy is imminent. The Duke and Duchess of Montpensier left London very suddenly; and it is rumored that they were told to leave by the foreign office. At the sacking of the Tuileries, some of Louis Philippe’s documents were seized and sent to M. de Lamartine. It is rumored that they con- tained the clue of a plot te poison the Queen of Spain. These papers were sent to Lord Nor- manby, who, in his turn, sent them to the foreign office. We give this as a rumor current in so- ciety at Paris. The rumor, however, became so loud, that an official paragraph has been in- serted in the Independance Belge as follows :— “We have anthority to state that the Duke ard Duchess of Montpensier did not receive notification to quit Englend.” No notice has been taken of this paragraph. There is a plot on foot. At a grand ball at St. Petersburgh, on the 8th, an aide-de-camp suddenly entered and gave v slip of paper to the Emperor. His Majesty changed color, and with a sign of his hand, he bid the music stop. Turning to the officers, he said— Gentlemen, France is a republic; you must be ready to put foot in stirrap at a moment's notice.” A change of ministry is not unlikely in Eng- land, notwithstanding Lord John had a majority on the three years additional income tax. Louis Philippe continues to go by the name of Count de Neuilly. St. Patrick’s Day passed off in Ireland with- out any of that seditious and serious distur- bance which was feared. Queen Victoria has given birth to a princess This is an increase to the taxes of Great Britain of £30,000, The following is the last bulletin of the Queen’s health :-— Bucuinanam Patace, Monday, March 20,9 A.

The steamer Sarah Sanda, Captain Thompson, arrived out on the morning of the 14th, making the passage in 18 days and 22 hours. The new steamer America, Judkins, the first of the new line between this city, Halifax, and Liverpool, arrived at Liverpool on the 19th ult. She will leave for New York on the 19th inst.

Enrope is just beginning to recover from its conster netion at the events at Paris, and to realise that a revo- lution has annihilated a monarchy in France, and a ty- raonical treaty for Europe—and that the powers that dio- ‘tated to Napoleon, thirty yoars ago, are powerless before republican France. Then, all Europe could be united againet one nation, and that the most enlightened in con. tinental Europe. Her tondency to free justitutions was hercrime—herexce s could have been forgiven—and a jourbon was placed upon her throne to arrest the pro- gress of intel: ‘and to crush the spirit of the pro ple. To-day, nota a in Europe dare move to Fest the step whioh France has taken, and all moarchies are obliged to conceal from the eyos of their own people t anxiety and disquletude at the state of affairs in France. Thrones are vibrating before the breath of popular opinion, like the reed before the win: ind is undermining the power of despots, and teaching the old world that legittmate sovereignty rests only in ds of the people of a nation—and that all ar ings are usur- pers of sovorei rp A May France faa herself able to sustain f in the present orisis, which is two. fold—politioal and finsncial—and some might adda third, pean which will have some influence upon the two former, The financial condition of France prosents,at tho threshold, the greatest cause of embarrassment. Loui s rare has left the nation with a debt of about $900,- 000,000, having increased it during his reign about b+) ie 000.000. It matters little, at this trying moment, how jinn Rd wickedly this vast debt has been incurred, and ow responsible may be the condition of Louis Philip \ouching this waste of the public fands, and what should be his responsibility for such e measure—the fact exists, aah preorate an occasion which the French Republic must meet, and by which France will suffer. Jt has pro- duced 2 panic, res! with many, and with others affected and |. for the purposes of political effect. at home and abroad. As in our own country, there are those who tate sides against their country in the of peril, for the purpose of overthrowing an existing government or administration—then, all the and speculators who have been in s condition to fail the last two or three years, and have managed to sur- vive till this moment, stop payment aud endeavor to coneeal their own faults nnder the revoluti From Henry V., the Duke of Bordeaux, the families of Bonaparte and all desire the throne; and the , and those who have been driven from power and lose station, by the abolition of all titles, desire to overthrow the aoeaniie. Disaffection that the peeple peel eT to place wn power Do bop, « eligi an open to be po ewes in the market, creates cnemies to the republic, and adds artificial to the real embarrass- ment, which @ new form of government is obliged to meet. But the general spirit of the French people is excellent, and their courage is equal to the crisis, be it what it may. All fear of wae, foreiga or civil, has ceased to exist among the manses of. the nation. Englend, Prus- tis, and Austria. have signified thelr disposition to reeng- nige the republic; the ‘and several of the minor States of Germany and Italy, have dons so in fact, and under there cfroumsaace: Russia has neither the power nor the probable ition to make war with France. The wholeenergy of the na‘ien is, then, at this moment, concentrated ia.an effort to retrieve its @nancisl eondi- tion, and to establish the ability and credit of France; and ‘work will be achieved. * Garnet Pages, the Minister of Finance, is an efficient officer in hie department; and ander his administra. tion, France will bs, extricated from her difficulties. The masses of the lished the revolution, ent ting a high degree selt sacrifice, Every class of masters and operatives are holding meetings and contributing in thousands and tex 6 of thousands, to the support of the treasury, and to the defraying of the expenses of government. A meeting of the tailors this week, agreed to furnish Pat Ps housand of the new troops with their uri- form dress, which is to be blue ; amd raised the funds and made the necessary arrangements on the spot, to secure the exeoution of the measure.

But the task is herculean. There is the fact of # national insolvency to meet—the shook of the first announcement of such » fact, to recover from. the panic to abate—the timid to enoourage—the evil disposed to controi—the just de. mands of thousands to meet ; and their grievances, and oppressions, aud burdens, to be remo es to be modified and psid- ow National Guard to be raed, officered, equipped—and the tens of thou- ds of demands upon the treasury re) ecomin; due, to be met and paid; added to these difficultios that of the savings bank, in which laboring men and women had deposited their mites, amounting in the regate to millions; and abe which Louis Philippe had expended, so that when the poor came to the bank for their money there was none; ard now the le bev toeuffer for this part of the conduct of King. large banking and probably a great number of others will in the same path.

Barricade is a legitimate way of making republics, as Eogland oan fy, but je probably not a legitimate mode of making kings.

Great ogitation—Provisional Government in Dunger— Resignation of Officers—Remonstrence of National G@uard—Lamartine—Hie Power and Tact— Circular of the Minister of Interior Disavowed—Three Cheers for Lamartine, the Government, and Republic—The White Flag. The republic bas received its first shook to-day, and Paris has been in commotion, aud many people in con- sternation. The principle cause of this sudden move- ment is found in the contents of the oiroular of the Minister of the Interior, in which he gives council as to the character and qualifications of the officers, members of the assembly, &o., to be elected. In the present sensitive state of the public mind, it is regarded os an attempt to dictate, and calculated to @>erate against the freedom of electiohs, and the right of private judgment, and to bring the power of the go- vernment to bear upon the fears and hopes of citisers. 1t has oreated an intense excitement, snd to-day busl- ness eas been nearly suspended. Some of the newly ap- pointed officers have resigned, and given this circular as their reasons for so doing. When the panic was at its height, a company of fifty or » hundred men passed down the Bowevards carrying the white flagand crying “Vive Henri Cinq,” which title would belong te tho rightful belr of the Bourben line, wore he now upon the turone. Tho friends of the Duke de Bordcaux clapped their hands for joy ; and those of the republic appeured thoughtful and *nxious. The National Guard had ar- sembied in thousands, dissatisfied with the manner in whion the old battalions had been disbanded and com- mingled with the new recruirs, and deeply agitated by @eupposed attempt on the part of the minister to con- trol their action Consternation wae paiuted upon many & face ; and the timid declared that civil war was about toensue. The resignation of the minister was demanded in the strests; aud strong mavifestations adopted 'o carry their demand into execution. A delegation from the National Guards, of several hun- dred, finally wers chosen to wait upon the governwent, and present the gravity of the public condition ; which wat dong near noon to-day; and Lamartino met the cocasion in ® manner woithy of France, bis exalted position, ard Himself He disavowed, for himerlf aod the government the doctrine of the circular ot least as understood ; and arsured the deiegation that the govern- ment + ert out to address Franos upon the muject— that any attempt to control the elections would be the disgrace of the government, and the end of the republic ; end ho begged those present to convey these sentiments to those whom they represented. ‘was responded to by acolamations of “bravo,” “bravo,” cheered, and the hall rang with the ory of “vive Lamariine, the govern ment, and republic ;” and the company left wita over- flowing hearts of delight, and the agitation began to anbside. Thus, it is hoped, that weat appeared for the moment a most threatening sspect for France, has been dissipated by the power and tact of this most excellent and true hearted man. It is anid that one member of the government, Mar- tast, I think, cannot survive the shock which so much fatigue and avxiety produced, and that the exhaus- tion of cther members seriously endangers their health and their lives. They are said no: to retire to bedat all ; but to sleep upon the couches and carpets, where they work, and to have no other opportunity for rest. Maxcu 17, The storm has passed over, and more than ten thou- tend workmen have met to- in the Champs Eiysees, to talk over their past diffoulties in a friendly spirit, and tc sotth im a manner satisfactory to all. This morning the proclamation of the whole government was posted up upon every wall, written evidently by Lamartine, and by it all bave been made satisfied, and the sgitations ef yesterday bave entirely ceased. Those persons who carried the whito flag through the street yesterday, were immediately arrest-d and put in con- jnement, and should the experiment be repeaied, there is danger that they may not be treated so mildly. It is Ped preg that they were hired by those who stand be- hind the scene to make this experiment upon the public pulse; and the danger ie that when the public become exasperated, the effects will not be limited to the no- minal actors. In suc an event, the innocent may suffer by ue just suspicions. The decree of the government that the paper of the bank should be received in payment of all debts, is in imitation of England, under like circumstences, and it has had the effect to relieve the imme upon bankers, and te arrest the run for nao ~ B54 oll will do ita will be resunied in Fraiice for many months, perhaps years ; therefore, gold and exchenge on London sre high. It is di w to obtain the smailest sume in silver ; but 1 think, after a few deys, the panic will subside, and small dewands be paid in specie. The truth is, that credits have been greatly extended ; and the mercantile community were not in a condition to pay up, when the revolution called for the adjustment of balances. I am inolined to be- lieve that not one half the number have left Paris which have beenyo represented ; and that there is, in fact, very littidMeause for tho existing financial difficulties, beyond the imprudent extension of credit, and the fall of stocks consequent upon the panic. The depreciation in this class of securities has beon immense—almost unexampled—and shows the imprudent extent of the speculations in them. The ib have done much to oreste the panic fn have no confidence in any government except of Victori acd numerous as they were, before they iran, in Paris, and mingling as they did with the woalthier yn of the Parisian population, their influence n operating with great power iv circles who control a large amount of funds, ead it has all been directed, intentionally or unintentionally, to raise 8 panic, and to drive people out of Francs. A more frightened set of beings, probably, were never wit- neased. ‘They ran like sheep, pursued ‘by wild animals, and acted with about as much reason and judgment. They and Louis Philippe should have their portraits taken, with proper devices, fleeing for life, and looking back over first one shoulder, 2nd then the other, to see if the “ Blouse” were not afterthem. If there had been any sesaults, or violence of any desoription offered to persons or ;roperly, there might be some apology for such timidity, such ludicrous conduct ; but an yet, not men, wo! or child has been molested; and by night or by day, any person can pass from one part of the city \ to the otuer with perfect security. I have never seen a could walk the streets alone ia ‘he city where femal { evening, so safe and ex-mpt from ru‘eness, as in Paris— and there is no difference now, and before the revolu- expected that specie pa: tion, I have never seen the least indignity offered to a female, since I have been in Paris; and tens of thou- sands, of good character, walk the sircets every even ing unprotected. But the English and some of tne wealthier classes of the Frenoh, who are favorable to a monorchy, seem to think that every man dressed ina blue frock and treusers, is ready to coinmit evory species of crim*, and is seeking for the most favorable opportu- nities to do so; they seem to haveno idea that these are mea of any character and consideration, but leck upon them asa spsoles of wild auimals, It is natural that people, not in France, and recollecting the excesses and crimes of '92, should fear similar scenes in 48. But for those who have been eye witnesses of the events of the revolution, aud witnessed the propriety of conduct and high and honorable bearin; of the peopla who have eff-oted the revolution, aud now win ain publie crder, thers is neither justification ner @ reasonable apoicgy for any manifestation of fear That there may yet oe biood shed in Paris, ia torrents is possible —but it will not be tho biue frocks that will provoke it. Should the Bourbons, Orleans, or Bouapartes attempt to force themesely. tate the people, by disp! and crivs of the laboring classes upon the throne and irrt of their flage in the etreets r, ther no certainty where To reach and ex ‘ocesdings, might cause ‘and, perhaps, of inno- he masses atrike sud- nd they have pledged their ail repablio, and do not intend to be cheated out of it this time by friend or foc. But this need not al foreigners, or those who do not place themselves in 8 picious situations. The most frightful stories are in circulation in Lomton, of excesses and crimes committed ia Paris; aod yesterday @ wholo community of the English in Paris, were thrown into great ularm by the report that an old police agent, who had been in exile form year, had returned and imformed the government that one half the new National tiuards were rovbere, murderers, &c , &9 ; and thay said he would go dire tly up to one man afier another end scouse him of crime, state the particulars and chalienge hii to deny it; and 80, they said, their greatest danger consisted in the guard selected to protect the public; and this silly story ccoated immense alarm. Any man would not uareston ably expect, that in @ revolution, caused ty force, over- throwiog one of tho strongest monarchies in Europe, that there might be some disorder and excesres—and the wonder ia, that there are none, or noxs of any mag- nitade—that order is as perfect since as before the re- volution, and that person and property are equally safe and every right and propriety equally respected The people are oaim, generally, and watching with the clogest attention the conduct of the government, aud waiting respectfully upon iia act: {ts decrees, and looking to, and pr. tloas of the military officers, aud tional assembly which is to form a constitution, One hour would be sufllcient for the same men who over- turned the monaroby, to overthrow the provisio: veroment.

Yesterday there was a demonstration of one hundred and twenty-five thousand men, at the Motel de Yille, in favor of the republic. The occasion of this demonstra- tion was, that the day before, a whito flag had been car- ried along the Boulevard, followed by fifty or a hundred peopls—the flag of the Bourbons—-and there had been great dissatisfaction expressed with the circular of the Minister of the Interior, in reference to the elections. ‘The white fleg appeared again yesterday, at the Hotel de Ville, and the people took {¢, and its followers, and threw them into the Seine, and cautioned them not to appeor again in the streets with that flog.

We have foreseen from the firet ocourrence of this revolution that its effects on pubite and private credit would be of the most formidable kind. although wo have refrained from giving utterance to the full ex- tent of the apprehensions we entertained. But so vast and various are the phenomena which must attend such ‘@ convulsion that it is impossible to assign any limits to them. Tho Bank of Franoe is an institution con- ducted with the greatest ability and prudence joined to & patriotic desire to make every imaginable exer tion for the relief of trade and of the commeroial public. Its advances have been enormous: we find in the state- ment of its assets an amount of more than ten millions sterling of commercial bills discounted, of which it may be feared that a large Proportion are, to say the least, of doubtful value The amount of cash in coin and ingota has been reduced to 59 millions ani @ half cf francs in Paris, and 64 300.000 in the branch banks— the latter establishments, however, many have steppe: discounting. The issue of bank-notes is, for th ik of France, a lurze one; it exceeds ten millions sterling. To any one who is at all familiar with the commeroial habits of tbe Frenoh peuple and the ordinary resources of the Bank of France, this statement of its present condition is of the most dirt: kind; and the actuel supeusion of cash paymentagat such a time and such a people will produce the worst effects . sure was doubtless inevitable, but it is hardly to be distinguished under the ciroumstances fcom & general act of bankruptoy.
