I say glo- rious, as the moderation and oourege displeyed by the People were sublime, It is with regret, however, I add that matters in France now bear # most serious aspect, aud though there no longer exists a corrupt ministerial mejority, the democratic. party are acting in a manner likely to compromise the interests of that great people An xutoorat, whethor it ba the people or tue so called equally to be dreaded, and the theo- Bianc, who is the antoorat of the moment, and which he has ¢ndeavored to put inte practice, have melied commer nd trade that France is on of @ general bankruptcy.

Commencement of Hostilities in Northern Germany. A slip fram the cfice of the Liverpool Matt, on the 8th inst., states that the following intelligence had just Deen received from Hull: Hamnvra, 84 April, 1818,—Extract of a letter per eamer :—‘ All the world hero is for honor and glory no buricess It isreported to-day thet the Emperor Nicholas has proclaimed a constitution for Poland, and his rons! w, Duke ds Luchteub fo be the king. “Prussian and Hanoverian Generals are now in the town arranging for the passing through of troops Into olstein “ Hampunon, 4th April, 1848.—To-day I witnersed thi opening mearute of the war in Northern Germany.

It is stated, in, several papers, thet considereble Hanoverian forces had likewise already commeuced their march to. wards the same destinstion; but we believe this report to be premature. Tae accounts from Holstein state that the frantis en- thusiasm in the German duchies rather increased than diminished. and more than five buadred volunteers had already. fully armed and equipped, left Rendebarg for the northern frontiers of Schleswig, to encounter the enemy. Oa the other hand, a letter dated Copenhagen, March 29, atates that the warlike spirit, not unly in Danish capital, tu: in every part of the k ngdom, wes at le qual to that in the German duchies. Soarcely a man able to carry arms, wes in Copsnhagen, who bad net applied to be enlisted in some volunteer corps. The shops were almost exclusively attended by women. ond even a considerable number of fiscres and cabs wero driven by the fair sex, their husbaods being engaged in drilling. The preparations in the army and navy wero not leas formidabie, and it was confidently expected that before the 8cb instant an army of upwards of 25 000 well disciplined troops would have entered Schieswig, and thata fleet of four line of battle sbips, six frigates, fire wer steamers. and a considerable number of smaller armed craft, would be ready for sea.

Panws, April 6, 1843, In the prasent state of Europe, war may be sald to exist ; and the Emperor of Ruesia has resolved that it shall be carried on upon a scale of magnitude never be- fore equalled, except by Napcleon, I think.

It would be diffloult to name documents more calou- lated to inspire deep and grave reflection than the pro- posed chartist petition, or (though in a differont way) the report of the proceedings of Te National Conven- tion,” and the address purporting to emanate from it, which we printed syesterday. The petition is remark- able for the clearness of the language, the calmaess of the tone, the precision of the thoughts, and the logical connection of the reasoning. Grant the premises, and you are in a dead lock, as regaris theinferences Allow the first item, and you allow the wholeaccount Tha supposed right‘of every man tothe elective franchise isthe foundation of the en:ice fabric. While that foundation laste, the fabrio will stand; the moment it is struck away, the fabric will come down. But it must be strwok away by argument, not by constables’ staves ; although these may be highly usefal to prevent any unseemly Ley aah of tion of the controversy. It is our belief that the friends of order have physical force as weil as moral force on their side ; but we trust the mild exertion of the one will obviate, this time, at all events, the necessity of put ting forth the other. ‘The people's charter, as it is called, contains six heads —1, universal suffcage ; 2, vote by ballot; 3, no property qualification ; 4, annual parliaments ; 5, payment of members ; 6, equal electoral districts. | ‘The first, we re- peat, is ersential one. It is thus sugported in the petition :- “ That your petitioners regard tho representation ia Parliament of every man of sound mind asa right com. patible with, and sustained by, the laws of nature and of God, and tifat man’s privation by his fellow-creatures of such right is an act whiob, if tolerated, evidences the existence of tyranny and injustice upon tho one hand, and servility and degradation upon the other. “That your petitioners regard the Reform Bill as un- just, as it res:ricts the righte of citizenship to one-seventh ‘of the male adult community, and stamps the other six- sevenths with the stizma of political inferiority. “That you, petitioners have never yet heard.e valid reason for mainteining the present representative system, und thet the at pleaded against the ad- mission of the people to the i umunities which the soolal contract should guatanty are based upon oles selfiab- ness, pr-jadices, and contracted views of humanity.’ The British Parliament, House or Commons—Thursday, April 6 THe INTENDED cH.
