A little after seven in the morning, the various legions of the National Guards begau to take up their positions, the companies stretching three deep across the whole breadth of the wide thorough. | fare. Some of these corps were in a far more forward | state of equipment than the rest, many showing little of the panoply of war beyond the inevitable musket, not a single man being unprovided with that weapon. In fact, a far greater number of National Guards ap- peared without uniform than with it. As the rain | came down heavily in the morning. the men soon got | wet to the skin, but they bore the infliction—one of | the severest of the minor ills of life that a Parisian can be subjected to—with the greatest patience and good humor. In addition to the regular legions of the Na- | tional Guard. the Guard Mobile, and several regiments of the line. also took up position oa the Boulevards.— From the Bastile to the Madeleine, upwards of th miles, the whole distance waz occupied by these three | ‘As the regiments of the line passed to | kinds of troops their places, they were loudly cheered by the National Guards, and returned the compliment each time.though certainly not so energetically. The Guard Mobile also received them with acclamations, which were not very warmly responded to. Indeed, it was very generally re- marked that the regular troops appeared to look slight- ingly at this new formed body ; and that both in the morning, and afterwards in the course of the day, when they passed each other, the regiments of the line. though tolerably cordial towards the National Guards, were cool, if not contemptuous towards the Guard Mobile. Undoubtedly tho appearance of this young corps was not very much calculated to find fa th their more experienced brothers in arms. They could not “claim kindred there, and have their claim allowed.”’ Slight- made, weak-looking, youthful to such an extent that some appeared mere children, they gave the idea at first of being a mere parody on soldicrs; but a more length- ened examination impressed the critical spectator with | amore favorable opinion of their capabilities, There was a certain air of careless self-reliance about them— an appearance of readiness to be up and doing-devil- may-care demeanor in the whole body that at last forced the firm conviction on the mind that these young fellows, these gamins de Paris, would soon beceme ex- | cellent soldiers; what they in fact might at first want in thews and sinews, they would make up in determina- tion and a desire to distinguish themselves. The soldiers of the line, however, in their matter-of-fact notions did not look beyond the surface, and seemed to treat them but lightly. It is to be remarked. also, that the Guard Mobile were still without their uniform, which certai: in no small measure took from the ef- feet of their appearance as a body of troops. In addition to the immense mass of armed men thus oceupying the Boulevards, there were two other cle- ments in this féte which must not be omitted—one. the | immense crowd of persovs that thronged the foot pave- | ment, more than one-half of whom were women. and ‘the other tho vast number who filled the windows, look- ing on what passed below. The scene beneath was cer- ‘nly a most curious one. At first, the National Guards kept their ranks well enough; they amused themselves with singing the Marsellaise. the Chant de Girondins. or listening to the bands of the several le- ions playing martial airs; but when two or three hours d been thus employed.they naturally became anxious to get some refreshment. and accordingly, in some mea- sure, broke their ranks and commenced a pretty sharp attackon the wares of a number of vivandis sand other dealers in eatable and drinkable matters, who were inattendance. The officers, on their side, and the more respectable men. went off in turn to the cafés. which must have reaped a good profit from the day work. A great number of the poorer National Guards came to their place of rendezvous with a huge picce of bread stuck on their bayonet, of which act of foresight they must have been glad enough after so many hours’ standing in the open air. The ranks were not. in fact, resumed in a military manner, until towards one o'clock, when the men stationed near the Madeleine be- gan to move off, to pass before the provisional govern- ment at the .dre de Triomphe. But. up to that hour the friends of the National Guards went without cere- mony to speak to them in the ranks.and sometimes even women might be seen similarly employed. All was ap- parent confusion, but everything. in’ reality, went on with the most perfect good humor, and even polite- ness ANOTHER ACCOUNT. Alas ! for all human hopes and wishes, the morning that ushered in this great gala day, the fete par excel- lence of the republic, was black, wet. and dreary, off ing in this respect a sad contrast to the universal goo fortune that attended the fére days under the late go- vernment; for so beautifulin gen the on such oceasions, that a fine day became § in France with Louis Philippe’s weather need pouring down early in the night tinued almost without interruption till the morning.

The journal La Commune de Paris is installed at No. 16 Ri le Rivoli, in a vast edifice, which belonged to the civil list of the Duchess d’Orleans. On Sunday, whilst disquietude reigned in Paris, and whilst the National Guard pa. raded the city in every direction, some men, of sus; cious appearance, addressed exciting observations to the groups, and seemed anxious to plunge into a quar- rel. A respectable old man, who made some concili- ating observations, was suddenly brutally seized by some strange-looking men, in blue blouses, with a large floating sash of red cloth, and a cravat of the same color, and dragged to No 16 Rue de Rivoli. A curious spectator followed the cortége. He witnessed all that we are about to relate, and his character and position, with the consideration he enjoys, do not permit us to doubt his word. On arriving, he saw in the interior of the hotel a garrison, with the same aspect. the same costume. Armed men, the musket in the hand, were placed as sentinels at the gate of the hotel, in the court-yards, on the staircases, at the entry of the apartments. After passing an entresol guarded by sen- tinels, our informant followed the old man and his cor- tége, passed through a vestibule, and through some small saloons, crowded by armed men, and arrived in an immense saloon, splendidiy furnished. He there saw a person of middle height, of about forty years of age, with a beard, of a brief and haughty man- ner of speaking, of a sombre and bilious physiognomy. who, unexpectedly surprised in the midst of orders which he was giving to those around him, violently questioned the chief at the head of the cortége. This man replied: * Citizen Sobrier, I bring before you a pect. I believed it right to cause him to be arrested by your Montagnards, because he appeared to me to be a reactionary Propagandist.’ ‘ Give explanations this in- stant !’ sald citizen Sobrier, in a theatrical tone. - A person who, like our curious informant, had followed the cortége. stepped forward and explained the facts. cried citizen Sobrier energetically, The witness. agitated by the strange spectacle which sur- rounded him, hesitated and stammered. ‘ Well, begin!’ cried the judge passionately. A public accuser endea- yored to explain the motive of the arrest. The witness made a few simple observations in favor of the accused. The accused, in his turn, calmly protested. and de- clared that he had only employed Words of conciliation. He then asked before what authority he had the honor to appear. ‘Before the citizen chief of the Commune de Paris,’ answered Sobrier. The old man and the witness who deposed in his favor were then called on to give their names and addresses, and, after some pro- tests of the accused, Sobrier exclaimed: * Allons ! For this time be off with you, and do not begin the same work again.’ Whilst this was passing in the large sa- loon, the windows of which open on the balcony of the Rue de Rivoli, strange scenes were occurring in the other rooms. For example, a voice cried from an ad- joining room, to the armed men in the ante-chambers, Montagnard-—one, two three—let them pass! * Mon- agnard, an order to be executed,’ &c, As soon as the accused. having obtained a permission to pass, was set at liberty, our informant, who was also obliged to mand a pass, heard the observation, * We have frig ened him terribly.’ Now we ask what is the authority of the citizen Sobrier? By whom is he delegated’ What is this garrison of 300 men, in blue blouses and red sashes, whom he calls his Montagnards, who pro- tect all the approaches to the journal La Commune de Paris? In what times do we live?” Appointments by the French Government. [From the London Times, April 17.) The Minister for Foreign Affairs has signed the fol- lowing consular appointments :—M.

The angles dismantled. announced that our infantry could advance to the attack of the fortifications, and his Majesty appeared disposed to se- cond the order of our troops. but, foreseeing that, even in case of success, these works, commanded by the ene- my’s artillery on the permanent fortifications of the citadel of Peschiera, would have cost too much of our soldiers’ blood, which would hi been shed without a definite result. his Majesty resolved to renounce this attack; and after having. for form sake, summoned the place to surrender, he ordered to resume his first posi- tion to consult on more important affairs. “His Majesty has been extremely satisfied with the nd skill of his artillery, the enthusiasm of his nd the order of his troops. always foremost in danger, remained eral hours exposed to the fire of the enemy, with his s and a numerous staff.

The monster meeting of operatives promised for to- day has not taken place. In various parts of the city the National Guard has been under arms during the day, and every precaution has been taken to preserve the public peace. which has not been disturbed.

Che third post of importance in the Cabinet, which is still vacant, is said to be destined for Count Platen or Baron Tersmeden, All the ministers who have re- signed, have entered upon high official posts. Of the new ministers we can only say that they are by no moans men of tried political prixeiples. It is said that an army of observation is to be placed at Schonen. Denmark and Holstein. The accounts received from the Continent tend to complicate the unfortunate events which havo occur- red in Holstein and Schleswig. with regard to the mis- understanding at present existing between these du- chies and their soveroign, the King of Denmark, ax well as to threaten the peace of Europe. The whole of the German confederation is compromised by the injudici- ous first act of the King of Prussia, and are called upon to take up arms against Denmark. On “the side of Denmark no actual collision has yet taken place, exeept between the Danish troops and the in- surgent Schleswig-Holsteiners. ‘The Danes land- ed under cover of their ships-of-war, and after a sharp struggle—for the blood of both nations is tho- roughly roused—succeeded in routing their opponents, and making themselves masters of the duchy. On the 10th ultimo, a fierce battle was fought near Flensburg. in which the Danes, having a decided suporiority numbera, ax well as in their cavalry and artillery, t Schleswig-Holstein army was defeated, and compell to retreat towards Rendsburg. The Holsteiners, 10,000 strong, retired on Bau from Flénsburg. dislodged by the preparations fora bombardment from the harbor, which was full of Danish gun-boats. But the Danes come on in superior numbers, and drove all before them, des- pitea stubborn resistance, Two Germon regiments were almost annihilated. and the killed on each side were more than 2000; 750 insurgents were taken prison- ers, After their victory, the Danes pushed southwards. and entered Schleswig at two in the morning of t llth. The Danish troops in Schleswig are now 20.000. ‘The Prussians remain on the Holstein frontier, in- creasing their numbers, foree now amounts to 8000 infantry, to which will be added some cavalry, so that altogether this contingent force, when concen- trated in Holstein, will amount to about 10,000 men of all arms. Correspondence from Rendsburg of the 14th ultimo mentions a report that a skirmish had taken place at Windebye, and that forty Dancs had been made prison- ers. Tho Danes had moved the greater part of the troops they had concentrated at Schleswig, amounting in all to $000 men, to Dannevirke, at a distance of half a German mile from Schleswig, on the Rendsburg side. On the 15th ult., the King of Denmark, escorted b squadrons of dragoons and one of cuirassiers. arr at Schleswig from Flensburg, and passed his troops in review; but returned to Flensburg in the after- noon. The Danish troops are said to be commanded by Gen Von Hedeman. A flag of truce, sent to the Danish quarters by the Prussian colonel Bonin,is stated to have brought a reply that the Prussian troops might act as they please in the territory of Holstein, but that they entered Schleswig. the King of Denmark would declare war. The Schleswig Holsteiners are stated to be quartered atSchextedt, and the Prussian at Sorg- ,aplace on the Schleswig side of the Eider. on igh road from Rendsburg to the town of Schles- 8 stachment of the Hamburg volunteers met ano- ther detachment of the same corps near Eckinford during the night of the 12th ult., and in their confa- sion they fired on each other, killed one man, aud wounded five or six others, Several battalions of Hanoverians, Brunawickers, and Oldenburgers hiv d Holstein, and some Prus- sian reinforcements have also passed through Hamburg. on their way to Rendsburg. A Danish sloop of war appeared off Swinemunde, on the 12th ult., but has hitherto committed no hostili- ties, although the alarm caused by her arrival has in- duced the authorities to remove. the buoys from the channel, and to close the harbor with « chain, Russia, The Cologne Gazette , of the 13th of April, quotes a letter from the Breslau Gazette, by a traveller, in which he says “that the accounts of the movement of the troops are uncertain and contradictory. The Russian government is adopting every possible measure of de- fence, and with every forbearance. ‘The military rein- foreement demanded by Prince Paskiewitsch has arriv- ed, and set off for the frontiers, 100.000 are to folk if necessity should require it. Warsaw is perambulated by patrola, but it presents more of the life of a carnival than of a seene of war, Everywhere strains of lively music resound. because the Poles expect their deliverance by Germany, and hope to secure it, by re- maining quiet to the end.” The Zeitung Halle gives the following account from Marggrabowson, the east frontier, of the 3d of April:— “The deputy of the Landrath has just sent word to the ehief resident of Prussia, that 300 pieces of Russi cannon have just dd at Raygrod, a small Poli town on the main from St. Petersburg to Warsaw, close to the Russian frontiers. an which will probably pass along that causeway to Warauw, while the troops will advance further into the country, as it is evi such a train of artillery ust precede a very considera- ble body of men."’ The Bremen Zeitung, ina letter from Berlin, of the 10th April, confirms this intelligence. “We learn from the kingdom of Poland that the en- tire army assembled in Lithuania has advanced and taken up its quarters on the Prussian frontiers, Three hundred pieces of Russian artillery ara raid to be at Warsaw. A Cracow journal, of the 10th of April, says that the total number of troops now in Poland amounts to 80.000 men, which are to’ be augmented to 200,000.— Other journals contradict these reports Spain. Accounts from Madrid, of the 12th instant, state that tranquility continued to prevail in the capital, but nu- merous arrests were being daily made, Mr, Bulwer was so shocked at the arbitrary conduct pursued by Gene- ral Narvaoz, with respect to the Progressista party,that he thought it, necessary to xeud inn friendly. remon- strance, which has been very ungraciously received. and England is honored with several columns of abuse in the Moderado papers. Every day adds to the violence of Narvaez, Persona of all ranks and stations are daily sent out of Madrid on absurd suspicions of conspiracy, and banished without trial, and Frequently even with out any cause being given, Tho mere reputation of being a Progressista at heart is punished with deporta- tion.

We have received the Madrid papers of the 16th of April. ‘The Clamor Publico says that an extraordinary courier reached Madrid on the previous day, with des- patches from the French provisionary government, de- manding the immediate departure of the Duke of Mont- pensier from the Spanish territories. It awaits, it says, either confirmation or denial of the report from the Ministerial journals, The English Minister has, itis said, transmitted to the Uap jomee second note, explicative of the first, of which the substance was given in the letter of our Madrid correspondent a few days ago. The Hgraldo announces that the official recognition of Queen Isabella by the Court of Bavaria will be im. mediately published. ere Were some rumors of an expected emeute on the 16th, but no one gave credit to it, and it was gene- rally supposed to be intended by Narvaez as an excuse for further arrests. General Manuel Concha had set out for Valladolid, where he is ens captain-general, The notes of the Bank of San Fernando were dis- counted on the morning of the 14th, at a loss of 544 per cent. At two o’clock,the depreciation was still greater. It is asserted, that, in‘order to cover the expenses of the month of March, the bank has been forced to ad- vance the two first instalments for the month of April, and that besides this the Minister of War demands 45 millions for the outlays of the present month. All this, it is thought, will probably have the effect of ruin- ing the bank. Commercial men were in a state of great alarm at Madrid. Bank notes had in several instances been re- fused as payment in the markets, India and China. We have received intelligence from Calcutta to the 7th, and Bombay to the 15th of March. The papers are almost wholly devoid of political intelligence. In- dia is tranquil throughout, and the Punjaub is. if pos- sible, more peaceful than the Company's dominions. Scinde has all at once become transformed from our most sickly to one of our healthiest States. Seventeen thousand troops continue to ison the frontier of the Indus, The Governor of Bombay returned to the Presidency from his tour of inspection on the 3d of March, and was about to leave on the 19th for the Ma- habubohwur hills. He will return about the end of April to receive his successor, Lord Falkland, and re- tire from India for good in the beginning of May. The commercial intelligence begins to improve, and though money ia scarce, confidence deficient, and trans- actions few, the worst is considered past. Our Bombay advices state that bank stocks continued low, an rices d further declined. Government securities ad slightly advanced. Owing to the scarcity of money an advance had taken place, and bank paper at six months’ sight had been negotiated at 1s 103d to 1x 108d; while for private bills with shipping documents Is 1ld to 1s 114 may be considered the rate. On Caleut- ta, Bank of Bengal Post Bills had been negotiated at par. The quotations at 30 days’ sight bank paper 1s 99 rs. On China for 60 days sight 206 rs per 100 dollars. ‘The market for cotton piece goods was steady, and fair rices were bei! |. In bleached goods, too, a fair inquiry exists for ing and jaconets of low quality, and an advance on previous rates for the former, of from 2 to4 annas per piece, has been established.— There was some advance in freights, and the last rates quoted were £5 to Liverpool, and £4 158 to London ; and China 19 rs per candy, at which rate ¢ ments were being made. Letters srom Calcutta inform us that “ the money market continues in much the same state as we wrote last; the terms on which loans are transacted are a shade more favorable, but the security taken continues to be of the most trangible character, and of a value leaving large margin for errors of praisement. In exports there has been a fair demand for staples, to be sent home as remittances instead of speculations—especially saltpetre. Sugar and indigo are less inquired after now; rice in much the same state, and silk too highly priced to permit extensive ration. The import market is improving, cotton plece goods finding freer vent, and twist rising in de- mand. Freights are looking up. There are reports of some speculations in tonnage with an eye to a China war, and a belief that government would be obliged to engage transports.” More Mercantile Failures.

Influenced by a very slender attendance of buyers, and entire absence of extensive operations in any article at our Corn Ex- change this morning. we have to report avery dull, listless trade, in all its bearings; generally speaking, however, there was no disposition. in any instance, on the part of holders to submit to lower terms, but in an- ticipation of a revived demand next week, a firm ad- horence throughout to the full rates of Tuesday, which may in all roxpects be repeated to-day. The transac- tions in wheat and flour were merely restricted to re- tail els; the latter, notwithstanding, inclined slightly upwards, owing to the reMaining stock of both Irish aud American being light, and the latter of prime quality becoming literally scarce, Indian éorn and corn meal, being still the most attractive articles of the trade, a few further parcels were purchased again to- day, the extreme rates of Tuesday last freely paid, and in some instances rather higher prices required. Livenvoot Cotton Manxrr, April 20.—Thia week of five days has been passed without bringing about any material change in our cotton market. Advices from ‘America have arrived, showing the receipte at New Or- leans to be largely on the increase, and we shall there- fore probably have a liberal import from that quarter for some time to come. These increased receipts, how ever, have not brought about any change in the mates of the aggregate crop, which is still reckoned to be about 2,200,000 bale At home, and in the manu- facturing districts, we are not worse, perhaps rather the contrary, the low price of provisions, and the sea- son of the year, having something to do with this more satisfied feeling in the country, As to the price of cotton, it is for the most part as before, Fair, good fair, and good Orleans, and Mobiles also, rather higher, being in demand for export. and ai rendy be- coming comparatively a searce article, while the mid- dling and low qualities a ier to purchase. Etyp- tian and long staple descriptions generally are heavy, and in some instances pressed on the market, and the large public sale of Sea Islands, upwards of 3000 bags, advertised for this day, will provably also force that kind to a low figure, ‘e have only to repeat, as be- fore, that the relief to this market must come from a better state of things in the manufacturing districts. Without something of this kind, low as our prices now are, we must still drag on in the mame dull and inactive manner, 600 American have been taken on specula- tion, 4550 American, 20 Surat, and 5600 Pernam for ex- port, Sales for the week 24,450 bales. —Geo, Holt §-Co.

The news of the events in France having reached the United States, has caused a decided slackening in the orders that had been anticipated; indeed, the orders by the last packet are unusually amall, "The continental buyers are quite inactive, and there seems no immediate prospect of anything else.

We understand that a correspondence, which lately took place between Mr. Simpson, of the Park Thoatre, and Signor Benedetti, of the Italian troupe, has result- edin nothing. Mr. Simpson proposed to enter into an engagement with Benedetti at the Park theatre, in order to bring out some of the operas played or pre- pared by the Italian company during the Inte season. Benedetti, on his side, as we have learned, expressed a willingness to enter into the engagement; but as the music of the above operas was in the hands of the As- tor Placo Theatre managers, it would be necessary to procure their consent, in order to get hold of the notes. ‘Those persons, however, who retain possession of the music, denied the request; and thus the proposed ar- rangement has fallen through, from the refusal of these managers of the Astor Place Theatre to allow the use of the notes. This abrupt tormination +f such a negotiation is most unfortunate for the poor Italian vocalists, expecially as by the mismanagement of the Astor Place concern, they have lost both time and money, since they have never yet had the usual benefits to which artists are always entitled at the termination of a season. In fact, the conduct of tho Astor management is without ex- cuse or apology. ‘The subscribers who contributed the original fund of $20,000, and more, at the commence- ment of the season, have not only been swindled and cheated out of a fourth of the amount by the abrupt termination of the Opera, but the poor vocalists, also, have come in for their share of cheating, and for an apportionment of their vile return. Such con§ duct in any capital of Europe would consign the perpe- trators of it to infamy and punishment of the severest kind. Such shameful and impudent swindling upon the community would not have been tolerated in Paris, even during the regimé of tho reign of terror. We hope, therefore, the subscribers of the Opera and the vocalists will unite in resorting to legal means for obtaining redross for such injustice and fraud. In the meantime, we would advise the poor Italians, unsuccessful as they have beon hitherto, to make an ap- peal to the publie—to expose their grievances to the world, and to give a series of concerts at some of our publie rooms or halls, with such music as they may have, or may be able to procure. We are persuaded, that in consideration of the injuries and fll-treatment they have suffered from the codfish aristocracy of New York, the generous and liberal minded public of this etropolis would patronize such an attempt beyond what one can form a conception of, It would lead toa manifestation from the middling and really res- peetable classes of New York. against the assumption and high claims of an aristocracy who can only pre- tend to be above others heeause they possess more effeontery, dishonesty, and impudence, Sreamsinie Unrrep Stares was, seen going into Liverpool, by the Britannia, on the afternoon of the 22d ult., making the passage inside of fourteen days.

The publication of the Herald commenced yester- day at 15 minutes before 4 o'clock, and finished at 30 minutes past 7 o'clock. The arrival of a steamer at Boston on Sunday last, brought us another batch of European intelli- gence, giving us details~in the progress of the great revolution in Europe—one of the greatest re- volutions that ever took place in the world. This intelligence was placed before the community in an Extra in the morning, and by an evening edi- tion in the afternoon. The whole is combined with additional extracts and correspondence, in the sheet which we issue to-day, embracing everything of a general or particular character, politically, re- volutionary, commercial and financial. The intelligence is deeply interesting. It covers about one week; but that week discloses most pro- minent features in the progress of this wonderful revolution—a revolution which embraces political, social, religious, and philosophical principles of the deepest foundation. All Europe is in a state of revo- lution, with the exception of Russia. Commencing in Italy, under the auspices of that extraordinary man, Pius the Ninth, it made some slight progress until it burst forth like a volcano in Paris, and from that great centre it has proceeded, till now it is in active operation in every capital of Europe. Lon- don, Berlin, Vienna, Paris, are in a state of extra- ordinary excitement. Inthe midst of their elections in France, the factions of Fourierites, or socialists, seem to have made an abortive attempt to bring on a reign of terror, by the destruction of the provi- sional government. Fortunately the attempt failed at the last accounts; but how long before similar attempts will be made with more success, no one can tell, The elections were also approaching at the last accounts, and great fears were entertained of additional difficulties. We hope, however, for the best. In Italy the war was raging between the King of Sardinia and the Austrians in Lombardy, with continued success to the Italians, This is the com- mencement of a general war*in Europe, we very much fear. Charles Albert, the monarch of Sardima, has been compelled by the Italian feelings of his troops, to declare war against Austria and to invade Lombardy. The King of Naples has been brought, by popular manifestations, into the same position. All the different powers and people of Italy seem to be united against Austria and the treaties of 1815, In Germany the same scenes of revolution, change, war, conflict, and disturbance, prevail. Vienna is just as much excited as Paris. Berlin and the towns on the Rhine appear to be no quieter, or in no greater state of repose. War in the north has broken out between the Danes and the Prus- sians, and a general war may break out all over Europe to-morrow. In England, Ireland and Scotland, notwithstand- ing the failure of the chartist demonstration, the elements of revolution exist in the highest state of developement. In Scotland, a movement of a very ominous character has commenced. The chartists of the north are arming there, and history tells us that the Northmen, two centuries ago, were the principal agents in bringing about the old English Commonwealth; and who knows but that their de- scendants of the present day, may produce similar results before a year has passed over our heads? In England a new movement for the extension of the elective franchise, and other reforms, has com" menced under the auspices of Hume and Cobden, which will embrace all the free-trade party of the central counties. Treland isin statu quo. In one view, all Europe, save and except Russia, is in a state of revolution, more radical and extra- ordinary than any that has taken place in the history of the world. It presents features similar to those of the old English or old French revolution, mixed up together ina new and singular way. Religion, philosophy, science, finance, all are affected. The first practical result of this extraordinary outbreak is beginning to be felt on the commercial and finan- cial affairs of the old world. ‘The public debts of Europe, amounting to many thousands of millions of dollars, the interest of which is paid annually by heavy taxes, will in a very short time be utterly re- pudiated and dishonored. Nothing can prevent such a result. The commercial, financial, and banking establishments of Europe, will fall in utter ruin. The political and social revolution will des- troy the whole fubrie of paper monty and commer- cial credit of the old world. The effectagwill be feltin a severe degree by certain portions of the commercial interests of this country, before many months shall have passed away. In fine, the war in Europe, which has now broken out in Italy and in the north of Germany, and presenting ¢ymptoms in other countries, is not a war of country against country as much as it is a war of the rich against the poor—of the exclusive classes, who have been feeding on the industrious for ages, against the working and productive classes of society, who are determined to bear this state of things no longer. ‘The example of the United States, where every ci- tizen is as free as his neighbor, and is as eligible to the highest offices, as any other of his countrymen, has been gradually sinking into the minds of the people of Europe, and the revolution, in the midst. | of which they now are, is the result of the thoughts: and feelings prompted from this side of the Atlan- tic, and spread around by steam, rail roads and printing. Théy may pass through many scenes of murder, massacre, danger, scarcity, hunger and re- volution, but they will ultimately reach comfort and competence. Monarchy and aristocracy, as they existed in the old world, are on their last legs. New Consup Gexerat or Frayce in New York.—We see it stated in the London Times of the 17th ult., that M. Leon Favre has been appoint- Consul General of France in the city of New York, in place of M. De la Forrest, who has of course been removed. There will probably be other changes in the French consulates in this country. It will be recollected that soon after the news of the recent French revolution was received here, M. De la Forrest published a note from M. Lamartine, for the purpose of producing the impression that he had been retained in office by the provisional go- vernment. Our interpretation of that note was of a different description. We believed that the pro- visional government merely delayed the appoint- ment of new consuls until it was able to fill thems properly. The result has shown that we were cor= rect. Yet we donot part with M. De la Forrest without some regret. He has, we believe, been an amiable and gentlemanly man in his consulate, but rather weak and imbecile in some things. It will be recollected that M. Gaillardet—ex-editor of a French journal—was very savage with us be- cause we intimated that such a change would take p The ex-editor will, however, see that we Judged more correctly than he did. Apropos—The ex-editor, we understand, sailed yesterday for Havre, and intends to be a thorough-going republi- can in France, and of course, if possible, to reach, the highest honors of the democracy. We wish him success; for we entertain no bad feelings inst hit hope that he may soon return, a nister of France to the United States,
