France is tranquil, and confidence is increasing ra- pidly. The panic has parsed by, and its effects have not been productive of great evile—tho people feel great confidence in the stability end purity of the provisional government; and that their financesare becoming daily moreand more improved The mint is in full opera- tion, converting old silver into francs, and more then a million of the new coin was put into circulation the first two or three days. The bank pays out specie {o masters, to be paid to their workmen; and every class of the laboring people have withdrawn their demands upon the government, for any melioration in their con- ition of labor for the present; and the journals are filled with the notices of doustions of workmen of differ- ent classes, and of tneir societies, in money to the pub lic treasury. Sums of from 60 to francs, are di nd almost hourly flowing into the t1 ury, from centribu- tlons of the workmen: the government is receiving the most cordial and efficient aid from earls. re class of men in France.

OBSERVER. Pants, Maroh 22, 1643, One Month's Repubiicanism. At is mow exactly @ calendar month since the day on which Louis Philippe and his minister, M. Guizot, made the attemps to pat down by armed force the assembly of the electors ef Paris,to make a demonstration in favor of parliamentary or electoral reform. This attempt, ar youereslready aware, has been productive of oonse- quences of great importance to France. It has orumbied te pieces the monarchy, which, in the opinions of all parties, is pot destined, at least for ages te come, to be re-established. Nothing ahort of another dooline and fall,aud another dark age ,could bring it back. Strictly speaking, the provisional government which has been installed, is a temporary machinery for the maintenance of order in the government of the country, until the representatives of the nation shail, in the con- stituent assembly, declare what form of government France shall organize. But, although this in a literal sense is true, the question of the form of government is already settled, eo fur at least as the question lies be- tween the republican and monarobioal forms. The pro- yisional gevernment, urged by the irresistible voice of the Parisian multitude, prociaimed in its provi- sional oheracter, and ject to confirmation of the spproaching cosstituent ansembly, tho French Republic! But the er in which this proolam: has been received in departments and depen cies which it has yet reached, is such as to remov doubt as to the question betweem the repablican and monarohical forms. France de: ith one voice in favor of a republic Au thone interests ond classes, which from a variety of government of July, or of the Bourbons, or sighed it of the imperial family, trongly oppo France, ab the reourrence of regenoy of the Orleans family, o imperial femily, the legit heir the throne of the elder Bourbo! convulsion would ensue, afte! certain time, the evi! comeeqaences attending these govercme: changes would ow Désiring, therefore, the famiiier or dynasties, of which they h een respectively par. tisaue, they desire rtill mor ‘anos that permanent repose which can only result from a government which derives its bility trom the general assent of the nation ‘They are conrcious that this assent will only be given te a repuclic, they therefore sxorifios their persons! wishes to those interests which equally concern thei: properties and the prosperity of the country. A repub government will then be blished. This is in- evirabie. The functions of ths qpproaching constituent assem.

Guinet. The French thought that this news was too delightful to be true; but this morning it appears to be confirmed. The imbecility of the Emporor prevents his being an object of popular indignation; but the man who bas Deen the principel oppressor in Europe for the last forty years, receives a little of retributive justice in his old age. The congress of monarchs that wes to have been held in Germany, to fasten chains upon Europe, the peo- ple of Europe have adjourned, and they and their miois- tors will probably find it more convenient to hold their @ession under the jurisdiction of Queen Victoria, To be sure, instead of King Louis Philippe, there will be only the Count de Neuilly, and for the two prime minis- =f of France and Austria there ha be only two re- fagees irom the sroused indignation those ‘nations, and for the other kings and princes, and attending nobi- lity, there willbe only vacant seats; or.ss gentry, sppe re by charity and living upon the grace of a foreign court, instead of in the pageantry of the kingly power of abeolutism. Owe month ago, and Louis Philippe, M. Guiuct and Prince Metternich, held in iron chains more then one hundred millions of people, and to-day they are dependent upon courtesy and oberity for support. supplicants for their lives, and biding themselves trom the just indigwation of the people whom they had op- pressed. Whata moral this reverse contains, and what a demonstration in favor ef the advance of humam in- telligence! and what a e-mmentary upon the wilue of the example which the United States have given te the old world! Tne Autocrat of Spent of coming to the Congress of Germany, is on his way to visit the King of Prursia, who is a man of # good deal of capaci: city; acd it is possible that before he arri e may find the seme class upon the throne of Prussia which eocu- jed that of Louis Philippe after the capture of the Tu- eries if he should lad oe throne eee, 2, ms * blouse,” instead royal rol an » have made his royal journey in vain; came ais ec aaa dime otea hiogn Mi alles:s Boris as " ’ the 1 has made, and is ospital, and the force of the people is increusin: pre the influence of the examples at Paris and Vien- nn, it will be exceedingly difficult for Berlin to escape.

Some others, members of the oabi net, and their subordinate instruments, feared to settle thelr accounts with the poole face to face, and follow- ed the example of theis masters. The Archduke Louis, and Queen Mother, who had been active im imprisoning and massacreing the people of Milan, were among the first to appreciate the value of life and liberty in their own cas", and to avoid the responsibility res.ing upon them. The students at Vienua, as at Paris, led tne bat- talions of the people, fought for freedom, and gave u; their livesto their country. Freedom will remember av: honor its defenders; and the brave youth of Europe duly estimate the dignity of man, the value of man’e freedom, and worthiessness of @ life spent in politieal’ bon and make an example of them- selves” in giving up their lives for the benefit of posterity. Indeed, who would not rather fall under one stroke from the arm of tyranny, than to wear its fron chain, till lite gradual jeided to its weight? On the night of the 15th, the date of the last scoounts, Vienns was under the protection of the National Guerds, formed of oltiz-ns ; the Emperor was crying, and his now ministers, selected frou the liberal men of the country, were exerting themselves to give assurances which should restore order. It does not sp- pear that at that moment a republic had been proclaim- ed ; that news is by the telegraph, and forwarded to the soverny, (— aris. If so, Austria is reileved, as well from ee imbecile for an emperor, as & pressed, dungeons will be opened to the light, and the yeuth, beauty, and intelligence, there dograded into the condi- tion wWnfitted for beasts, will walk sbroad again, and change the impurities of a dungeon for the vivifying atmosphere of a land fred from @ tyrant’s eppressions How many mothers will again weep cver their lost sons! and who can messuce the exalted joys of such » restoration? The thirst for revenge will be absorbed in the magnitude of the benefits conferred ; and the suffer- era will feol that their heroism has not been in vain The masses at Vienna seem to have emulated those at Paris, in the manner of executing their great mission ; they coofiued themselves to the grand purpose, and com micted but little aggression, and ebed but little blood, 10 their heroic achievement. Ten studeats were killed by the soldiers; but the people appeared to have preferred 4 rather than inflict it unnecessarily. So it was in oe. Between five andsix times as _ people as military, were killed and wouuded in Paris. Indeed, the women wounded bear about the same proportion to the military ae do the military to the men. In Paris the most heroic efforts were made to save the military, as soom as they etased firing or were oveiawed. In one matance, when fourteen cut of fifteen of the military guard fought till they were killed, a young girl savev tne fifveenth, by springing forward, seising him around the neck, and calling him her father; and culled upon ‘the Dasses to spare Lim, or toshoot her They oried out ~Spere bim!” and be who had fought like a lion for the King, weptiike child when the combat was over, and ue Teflected upon the manner in which he had beep suved.

He has dismissed his minis ters and appointed others more satisfactory, and has made concessions just fast enough to induge the people to demand more, and to beceme too exasperated to be satiefied with half-way concessions. The King’s power is anpihilated, and the power of his troops defied. He has been compelled to withdraw them from thé city,and to leave the protection of Berlin to the people.
