The eyes of all our citizens are directed to the old world more earnestly and attentively than ever, since the receipt of the news of the dethronement of the King of Prussia, and the declaration of a republic in that country. We shall soon have six days later intelligence from the continent of Europe, by the auxiliary steamship Sarah Sands, now in her seventeenth day, and almost, if not fully, due at this port. In case she do not arrive soon, we shall receive eleven days later news by the steamship Acadia, at Boston, which vessel will arrive in the course of a day or two. It is only natural that we should be excited, under the circumstances ; but we must exercise a little patience, and not expect impossibilities. The Foreign News. By the arrival of the packet ship Duchesse d’Or eans, at this port, from Havre, yesterday, we were enabled to publish three days later intelli- gence, from the continent of Europe, than what we had previously received by the steamship Hibernia. The interest attached to the mghty changes and revolutions firet set on foot by his Holiness Pope Pius the Ninth, and continued by Frence and other countries in Europe, increases in intensity every day. The progress of demo- cratic principles in Europe 18 astounding—kings acd despots are flying before it; and despots whose predecessors and themselves have ruled the masses of their subjects with a rod of iron, and drawn out their very life-blood to support the extravagance of their corrupt administratione, have hardly a spot where they can seek refuge. What mighty changes! What wonderful revo- lutions! What an extraordinary age of the The most important event in received yesterday, is the reported dethrone- of the king of Prussia, of that monarch and the members of his istry, and the declaration of a republic. This is but the beginning of the end. The work has, in earnest, commenced, and we'may prepare ourselves to expect news of a similar kind from different parts of Germany, and the continent o! Europe, by every arrival, until the work shal! have been fully accomplished, and the reign of monarchy and despotism ended. We refer our readers to the comments of the English papers on the prospects of the success of the French -to us. Shou! It willbe perceived that doubts are expressed con- cerning the news from Berlin, and many are ra- ther inclined to disbelieve it. We think, however, there cannot be much deub¢ about its correctness Although it was perhaps too soon to expect it,yet it was inevitable in course of time, and nothing The announcement was made from Metz to Paris, and was published in Galig- nani’s Messenger of the 24th March; and the Paris Commerce of the 25th, states that the fact was offi- cially announced to the provisional government of France, and posted on the Paris Bourse. Thus another king has ceased to reign, and the same spirit which dethroned Louis Philippe is still under full headway in Germany. At the last dates there were symptoms of dis- turbance, and of the prevalence of a spirit of Fourierism, or socialism—the poor arraying themeelves in opposition to the rich—the latter closing and barring their houses for protection; and the military were called out to repress any outbreak that might occur. The financial re- vulsion was still going on with the same inten- sity, and preparations were being made for the Oa the whole, however, nothing has occurred to damp the prospect of the per- manency of the new order of thinge; and to the unprejudiced observer, the slight symp- toms of disturbance are not sufficient to base an opinion that there 1s any danger of an- archy. These things will all regulate them- selves; and as soon as the elections shall have terminated, order will reign ; for the people will have nothing to desire that they cannot accom- plish by the ballot. In Italy, symptoms of an upheaving of the poli- ticel elements are visible, and astoundizg news trom that part of Europe may be expected very The manifesto of the Pope, will befound in this day’s paper, is a remarka- ble paper, and will be read with great interest. ‘The news may bs summed up ina few words. Prussia is reported to have dethroned her king and declared for a republic; matters are going can be expected under the circumsiances; the spirit of revo- mid career, and promises to extend over the whole continent, to the confines of Russia ; and Russia is making extensive mili- tary preparations to meet any emergency. For the particulars we reter our readers to the copious extracts which we have transferred to our co- Jumns, which we hope will satisfy them till the arrival of the Sara Sands, now due at this port. could prevent it. INCENDIARISM I We would remind the police and the euthorities, that at this season of the year they cannot be too vigilant in guard- ing the property and the ‘ives of our citizens from the designs of the incendiary, who, at the approach of “moving day,” is always on the alert for plunder. It isa fact, by no means re- markable, that during the latter part of the month of-April, each year, more fires occur—more de- struction of property by fire takes place—than at any other period of the year; each of which bears conclusive testimony that the hand of the incen- diary had beer at work. This cruel and revolting crime is traceable to : a desire to defraud the insu- rance companies; to evade the payment of rents; and next, a reckless disregard of human life, through a thirst for plunder in any shape, which impels the incendiary to lay his prans of destruc- The police, fire companies, and authori- ties in general, should adopt the necessary steps | just now to guard againat so crying am evil; and, va the other hand, the owners ot stores, dwell- inge, stables, &c ,&c., shoud direct their watch- men to be douoly vigilant at the present time— | at_all events watil the fi three sources, of May 18 over.

The proceedings in Congress were not calculated to allay the excitement; and further violence against the office of the abolition newspaper was seriously apprehended. Both houses of Congress participated in the general agitation, and presented a lamentable spectacle of the bitter hostility engendered by the reckless acts of the abolition fanatics. The Northern and the Southern members indulged in violent denunciations of each other; but the feeling was mainly directed against the promi. nent abolition agitators in either house. No public business was transacted. We were yesterday again led into error rela- tive tothe decision of the House in the contest- ed election case between Messrs. Jackson and Monroe, of this city. It appears from our regu- lar report that the seat has virtually been de- clared vacant, and a new election will conse- quently have to be held. The Progress of the Runaway Slave Excite- ment. Wasuinerton, April 20—11 P. M. The President issued an admonition, to-day, to the clerks in the executive departments against taking part in any of the mols which may as- sontble in the District, on the slavery question. The Captain, and the aids of the Captain, be- longing to the schooner, have been again un- der examination, and a number of the owners have been at the jail to prove their property. A crowd of blacks has been around the jail all day. x number of the re-captured slaves have been soldto go South. | The proceedings in Congress, to-day, have add- ed,fuel to the public wrath, snd a crowd is gathering again at the National Era office.

Mr. Jerrenson Davis, of Mississippi, presented the re- solutions of the Le; jure of that State, relative to the Mexican war, which were duly redeived and ordered to be printed ‘THE TERRITORY OF MINISOTA, KC.

Mr. Hace, of New Hampebire,asked leave to introduce the bill of which he geve previous notice, in relation to riots and unlawful assemblages in the District of Colum- bia, and made a few brief and general remarks relative to its object. ue Bacar, of Alabama, gave notice that he would ask leave to offer an amendment to the bill, and should it be considered, he would include other species of crime, kid- ne] rt ko. “ Mir. fiave responded, and‘ said that he would join heartily in ing a law prev. the additional crimes which Mr. Bagby alluded to, for he had been in- formed that a ease of kidnapping occurred yes- terday within sight of the Capitol, but he must sey that it was foreign to the object of the bill, that he hed purposely abstained from even alluding to slavery in connection with it. The bill be considered was merely for holdimg the corporation liable for the property de- stroyed and nothing farther. ir. Berron, of Missouri, hoped that the subject would be dropped, aud the regular order cf business proceeded with. Mr. Catnoun, of South Carolina, spoke warmly on the subject; and, in the course of his remarks, took oc casion to denounce the efforts which the Northern abo. litfonista were making to deprive the Southern of their property. He ghought that if Northern vessels could not visit the Sduthern waters, without endanger- ing the rights of the Southerners, thet the Southerners would prevent their coming at all. He considered that if anything endangered the safety of the Union, it was this slavery question, and he sincerely he that leave to introduce the bill would not be grant Mr. Westcott, of Florida, said that there had been no outbreak, and noo committed except by the kid- nappers, and he de: the yeas and pays. a motion to introduce the bill, Messrs, Foor and Jrvrexson Davis, of Mississippi, followed on the same side. Mr. Havx rejoined, positively denying his having had any connection, directly or indirectly, either by coun- oll, speech, or silence, with the recent affair, and deli- vered himself at some length in reply to Mr. Calhoun. ‘When he had concluded, Mr. Caruoun rose and said that he would as soon think of arguing with s maniac as with the Senator from New Hampshire on this subject. Mr. Hace continued his remarks, and was followed by Mr. Foote, who spoke with much personal invective Mr. Halo. and denied the right of Northern men housing question of slavery. The exciting debate was continued by Messrs.

From facts in the arohives of this office, and of the Department of War, it would seem altogether probable that Gen Paredes has been called to San Luis by individuals who are plotting s revolution, possibly under pretext of continuing the war. It is also highly probable that his true object is to proclaim his monarch- {eal scheme, and other pr-jects having reference to the This appears the more likely, from the fact that individusis in the city, who hi jhown them: selven most devoted to Paredes, are the same who sup- ported the rebel , Who sustained his disgraceful defection, and the anti-republican pro- Jsots whioh he promulgated at that period, so lorg and with such impunity. With such facts before him, hii Excellency the President would be wanting in his sacred duty if he should omit to take cogaizance of the crime i committed by General Paredes, or even if he should al- low him to remain in a place in which, as your Excellen- cy states, there exist so many clements of discord.
