The Progress of ‘he Republic--The Elections~Candidute for the Nationst Assembly--Views of the Parties on the Form of Government-—The Constitution of the United States Theatrical Mat'ers, Notwithstanding o long continuance of great popular demonstrations, atlroupements and processions, com- bined with the absence of any eificient police or control- ing military power, things have gone on here without any farther disturbance. Partly from the alarm given to capital by the state of the country, and probably from utter distrust in the provisional government, every description of security at the Bourse underwent an extraordinary and rapid decline, The three psr cents, which a year ago fluctua. ted about the mean prices of 90 or 82, actually foll last week below 31. The fives, which used to stand at 120 fell to 50; but this depreciation, considerable as it was, ‘was nothing to that which affected bank shar These shares, which « short time since were at 3500, were a0- tually sold a few days since at 959, being 50 francs below grrr shares of every description have undergone slike fail. Those of the Orleans, for example, which ‘were at 1,300, are now a little above 40), and so of the rest. Independently of the gonoral distrust of the govern- ment, which has tended thus to extinguish orodit, there are various other causes which have more or less influ- ence. For example, an impression has prevailed within the last ten or twelve days that government intended to make an enormous paper issue through the instrumen- tality of the Bank of France. It waa sald that notes to the smount of one thousand millions of francs would be {issued upon the seourity of the mational forests, of the estimated value of fifteen hundred millions. ‘This announcement for several days greatly depreci- ated every species of security. A dey or two since, however the Minister of Fiuauce sont for the syadio ofthe Bouree,and communicated to him, in the most formaland explicit manner, an atsurance that government had no intention whatever of making any auch issue of paper money. This had an immediately favorable effect on the market, and securities of every description impreved. From this and from other causes things are now better. ‘The threes are 42 50, aud the fives at 61.25. The provisional government ,has announced its inten- tion of purchasing out the interests of all the railway, companies and taking those great lines of communica- tion into its own hands; thus all the reilways will be- come what the roads always ware, great government uo- dertakings. These measures, however, the government assawes us, will be carried into effect with a due regard to the rights of propsrty, and that the stockholders of the different railways in operation, will be consulted, and nothiog done without their consent. As to the unflaish- ed railways, it is admitted that the stockholders cannot complete them, and that if completed at all it must be by the State. With these, therefore, there will be no acru- ple. They will probably be expropriated by jury, in the sam ras a building which is doomed to destrus- tion for the general improvement 6f a town. ‘We have had within the last ten days the ‘ion of the superior officers of the National Guard. This was an ooca- sion on whieh serious apprehensions wore entertained of tumult and disturbance. Nothing of the kind, however, took place, and the results of tho elections have proved to be in eral, satisfactory to the mod- erate republican party. You will probably ba saxlous to know what are the present prospects of Franco in relation to its fature form of government. | have little toadd im answer to such an inquiry, to that 1 have already communicated As to monarchy under any sovereign, or with any re strictions, it is, | assure you, wholly out of the question. ‘The most ardent partiasns of Hoary V. and the Count de Paris equally give up the idea of it. But a question ‘will be debated as to the form of the republic itself; and at the present moment, these are the questions which will be disoussed. One party will bs in favor of ® republic with two chambers and a president. ‘These sre what are here called the moderate republi- cans; they are in favor of giving a preponderating influ ence to the property aud intelligence of the country Tho other party advocate asingle Chamber, and a minis- try without a President. These are the more demoora- tic,and revolutionary republicans, and their views are understood to be supported by the mejority of the pro- yisional government A sort of compromise between the two is proposed be ge who le nee that the present Council of State shall be invested with certain !egisla- tive fanctions, and that it shall play the part of an up- per Chamber ‘Such are the questions, and t! ones. respecting the form of government which a: to come before the The interest reoted much public organization of the republic of the Uni at the time I write these lines, hawke: slong the Boulevards “The American Co: It ia beyond all doubt that the Am will be kept constantly ia the eye of their procee din, thare will be thing eceinst which Paris, at leact, is determined, it is te deralism.

As to the probable composition of the approaching Assembly, we have but few means at present of forning ony thing like a certain conclusion. Some- thing, however, may be ivferred from a list of can didates which has been pubii by the Central Electoral Committee of Paris, which appeared a day or tvo ago in the journals. On anolysing and ctassif, it, | fiad that to point of intelligences i it is infloitely less objectionable than was expecte: ‘Thus, it was feared tha! inasmuch as the members of the ‘Assembly will be paid, a very large proportion of then would be selected from the operative claseés I find, however, that in the list put forth by the democratic committee, not more than about six per cent belong to that class, while considerably more than one-haif are persons of property or of the liberal professions. Indi- viduaily considered all the candidates recommended, are, of course, republican; and it may be assumed that ali those who will be elected, will either be sinoere ad- i join in estab ity, and the s joan constitution the Assembiy io to organize the new Republio; still ry great difference, for if there bs any lishing » republic as only means of preventing further bloodshed.

If you turn to my Istter of Deo. Sist, you will find in it the following passage, which it may not be uninterest- ing to recur to :-“ All seem to havevs foreboding,” | said, “that @ serious crisis is at hand, and that some mighty convulsion is about to disturb the factitious tranquillity in which this quarter of the globe has been buried for the last thirty years.” Among the causes that were to lead to such @ ostastrophe, I mentioned ‘the fevered and unhealthy condition of France,” and “ the suppressed dissatisfaction prevailing throughout Germa- ny.” You will admit that there nover was a prodiction more fuily or speedily verified. On the first news of the wonderfal triumph of liberal prinoipios in France, the Prussian goverament began to take measures, on the one hand for repelling the ontio!- pated invasion of the Rhenish provinces by the victori- ous republicans; on the other, for crushing any rovolu- tionary movement on the part of its own subjeote. Largs bodies of troops wore dispatched to the Rhine, and others stationed in the neighborhood of Berlin, to overawe the inhabitants, and prevent such popular demonstrations es had ocoured in the South and West of Germany. Nevertheless, in the early part of last week meetings be- gan to be hald ate place ‘amusement called the “ Zel- ten,” or Tents, about ten minutes’ walk from the prinol- pal gate of the city, and at a short distance from the royal pi of Bellevue, Fora while the polico looked on in sileuce, and an addro‘s was drawn up, potitioning the King to grant bis people those rights that had been 80 repeatedly promised them both by his father and him. self. The King refused to receive this petition, and con- tented himself with issuiog a manifesto in which he expressed his intention to call tha Diet together shortly, end to make arrangements with the other German powers for abolishing the osnsorship of the press, and subjecting it merely to certain restrictive laws, You may easily imegine that thess concersions wore far from satisfying the people ; another meeting took place, at whioh one of the most popular orators, a Doctor Lowen: berg, was srrested by the police, with the assistance of a detachment of cavalry, and marched off to prison. This led to the first serious disturbances ; on Monday evening several thousand persons assembled in the Thiergarton, or Park, and on re-entering the town were attacked in the streeta by the oulrassiers, two or three of them out down, and quitea number wounded, On Tuesday asi” milar scene was enacted, and uofortunately the safferers were mostly peaceable individuals, who were walking quietly home, when they were butchered by the infuria- ted soldiery, This, of course, raised g:neral indignation’ the greatest excitement began to pervade all classes, and curses both loud and deep were vented against the King and his ministers, and particularly against the Prince of Prussia, the heir apparent to the crown, who was consi- dered the originator of these acts of ferocity. Hii rns dominsering character had long rendered him an object of dislike, and it was generally thought thet he used bis influence over the King to prevent him from acceding to the wishes of his subj-cts, On Wednesday, the 15th, the first barricades were erected, and the first shot fired in the Breite-strasse, a street terminatiog right opposite the royal chateau. I wason the spot at the moment, and saw the crowd scat- tering tn ali directions at the first yolley; but they rallied again behind the barricades, which, however, were too hastily and imperfectly constructed to afford them much shelter. Nevertheless, tha troops sustained some loss, particularly in a narrow lane called the Spree-Gaste, where the inhabitants received them with a shower of stones and brickbats from the roofs of tho houses, be- sides pouring down hot water upon them from the win- dows. Just st this time vague rumors began to beapread ofarevolution having broken outin Vienna; thenews flew through the city like wild-fire, and increased the goneral commotion. The night, however, passed moro quietly than wos expected, and the next morning the City Coun- cil assembled, and resolved upon applying to the dita for permission to form National Guard. Their peti- tion was only partially granted; his Mejesty did not think it advisable to trust his faithful citizsns with arms, but graciously allowed them to provide themselves with constables’ staves, nsauring them at the samo time that uld give orders for the troops not to interfere. the efforts of the citizens to restore ti Ws the dragoons, the mo: and loyal portion of the inhabitants now grew ditgusted; every ono felt that it was high time for something to be done. On Friday night the Town Counoil had a second meeting, to which mavy inflaential citizens were admit- , and which lasted till yesterday morning. Aftor a long and stormy debate, they conciuded upo! deputation to the King, representing to him i tal, but urgent manner the neceasity of yi: public voice, as the only way to trous consequences. Tho complete liberty of the prose, a popular representation, the introduction of trial b; jury, religious and personal freedom, an amnesty for al political offences, and tho establishment of an armed Na. tional Guard, were the obief points insisted gs And flnully, a change of ministry was more thi inted at; his Mojcaty being informod that his present advisers did not the confidence of the people. The King re osived the deputios most graciously, and complied at ono with their demands, part of which, he said, had been an- ticipat d by bim that very morning. In fact, an extra of the Prussian Gazelle was published, abolishing tie censorship, convoking the Siates General for the 24 of April, aud containing a string of oihor promises and oon- cessions too numerous to mention. The depaties, and the pubiicin genorsl, were rather astonished at this sudden relenting; they never expected bim to knock under 80 00! letely, and to submit to so solute authority. It is true, ad just set him the examp! prided himeelf on his firmn and decision, while he of Austria ia known to be weak To account for bis giving way #0 scon, reported that delegater had arrived from Cologne, tating the intention of the Rhenish provinces to join the French republic, unless a free constitution was ii mediately proclaimed However that t news was received with universal acclam: vast coucourss of prople crowded to the palace, to ex- press their gratitude by shouteand “vivas” The King appeared on tho balcony, attended by the Prince of Pras sin, and was greeted with loud hozzas, while « deputa- tion of respectable citizens, with biack and white badges (ths Prossian national colors) round their arms, aj proached the grand portal of the chateau with an ad- dress of thanis to bie Mejesty. It was then that a deplo- rable event took place; & repetition of the one that occur- ted a few weeks previously in Paris, and led to the down- fall of the Orleans family—an event that cbanged this scene ef tumultuous joy into a wild ebuilition of terror and revenge. ‘The deputies were close to the palace, and the crowd was thronging after them, when suddenly—some say on @ signal from the Prinve, others from the King himecif— a detachment of cavalry issued trom a side gate, and roshed upon the people, sword in hand The details of this rableaffair are variously related; but it is certain that several muskets were fired—whether accidentally or not will probably never be determined—and in ro denee a crowd it is to be presumed that many must have been hurt, if not killed, besides those rode down by the horse. The consequences were tremendous. The first stupor of astonishment over, rage and indigoation inflamed every breast, “ Wi betrayed! Woeasre massacred!

On my returning by the Brandenburgt gate through the celebrated avenue of the “ Linden,” or lime trees, I found the wildost excitement prevailing; strong bodies of troops were stationed jin the Fredericketrasse, at th ¢ of Prussia’s palace, and in the “ Schloesplats,” far an the Long Bridge, and barricades were going up in all directions.

As I neared the lest of them, aduil heavy roar was heard; | listened—it was the round of cannon. The firing began at about five o'clock, after the troops had been looking on inactive for nearly three hours, as if to give them ample time for erecting the formidable arriers 1 have just described. Cuirassiers, dragoons, and strong bodies of infantry, now approached to storm them; but were re- ceived with the utmost determination, althou,h not one of the insurgents out of ten was armed; many of them had only long poles and bludgoons, but fought under all disadvantages with the most undaunted courage, Great numbers ascended the roofs, and threw down tiles upon the sol tiers, while others, who were provided with rifics, kept up @ heavy fire from the windows. A company of armed citizens, called the Schiitzex- Gilde, or Guild of Archers, distinguished themeeclves particularly; they took sim with the utmost coolness and deliberation, and brought down a man at every fire At some barricedss the troops were repulsed no jess than cight times before they sucoreded in storming them. ‘Tae Breits- atrasse and the Kiaigs strasse were swept by the artilie ry; but a body of people, led on by ® Pole, possoxsed them- selves of four heavy guns belonging to the city, rtation- ed them at the Italian Opera House, and used them with such effect that the soldiers bad t upithe attack in that quarter.

They stopped at the the Schloss, and the King was obliged to appear loony and reeeive theit thanks for an act in which he had probably very little share. A more painful tacleawaited him: the bodies ofthe citizsns siain in the late conflict were brought into the palace yard and deposited in sight of the King and Queen, The number of victims is stated st eight hundred ina!l—five hundred soldiers, including @ colonel and ssveral officers, and sbvout three hundred of the geen. Of course many more must have been wounded. It would take a volome to recount all the thrilling events of the last two days, and to describe the scenes of heroism that were enacted at tho different barricades Tho troops behaved with incredible ferocity; they fired ‘up into the windows, and shot unoffending lookers.on, broke into the houses and bayoneted the inhabitants, and aro said to have pursued them in some instances to the upper stories and precipitated them from the win- dows. Ail the U!ame is laid to the Priace of Prussia. His palace was near bsing demolished by the incensed multi- tude; it has now been confiscated and declared public property. He is generally thought to have fied to Rus- sia, and will probably never venture to return to this country. The new ministry ia not yetcompleted.

An immense crowd had assembled to witness the ceremony-men, women and oht!dren, most of them in black, or with orape round their hats and bonnets, and all with staid and seriouscountenenses. Apprehensions had been felt that new disturbances would break out on this occasion; but not a murmur was heard, and every thing went off with the greatest order and tranquillity.

What ican learn, that has the appearance of oredit, has been rather discouraging for the cause which Goneral Paez has espoused; but thore is still hope, aud his fciends here, elthough they have little or no com, munioation with the interior, are confident that he will ultimately succeed in restoring order. feveral officers have deceived him in his expectations, and the forces under immediate command have had much to con- tend against; and himself and come friends made s ni row escape trom treachery.
