By . adding together tho volo qaat for Judge in'the two wards, it will be seen that the Fed eral majority in tire borough for that office is two. Let it be remembered that this borough.has Hereto fore been Whig by from 45 to 50 votes, and that wo faavu how carried our Assessor by 10 votes of a ma jority—our Town Clerk by 9 votes, and reduced the veto for Judge to two.

It will bo seen that the immediate cause of the revolution was the attempted suppression of the groat Reform Banquet, which was to hard taken ptaco in Paris on the 22d of February. The Public Lodger, in speaking of this revolution, siys-r-“Tlie news by tho Cambria, of tho revolution in France, on Saturday, took every body by surprise, and produced the most intense excitement in (he public mind. The event had been predicted, but it has happened before the timo that prediction had fixed fur it. ’ It has been burned on by (ho unwise end arbitrary attempt of tho “ Citizen King” to im» pose additional restrictions upon popular right*. Ho first took away tho liberty of the press, and then at tempted by force to prevent (ho people meeting at public dinners to discuss politics. Tho result was a sadden rising in Paris of a million of people and tho overthrow of tho last of the Bourbons. The royal family have fled, and a Republic has once' more been established in France. The groat men of the nation afo at (he head oftbo Provisional Government, Ara go, ihe philosopher, Louis Blanco, the communist, Lamartine,'the free trader, and others, ore true re publicans, who enjoy (ho confidence of tho people.— Many believe (hat the French arc not prepared fora republican government, and that this attempt will end like previous ones, in tho establishment of mon* archill power; but (he French ore much bettor in? formed upon political matters than formerly, and have experienced too much of the evils of tyranny, and the faithlessness of its promises to be willing to (rust their liberties again to its keeping. The name of King has become odious to them, and (hey seem determined to put sn end to royally ot once, The attempt will be made at all hazards, and its success teems more than probable. The other governments .of Europe hove too much to do just now in taking care of themselves io allow them to interfere openly against this popular outbreak. They will probably remain quiet, watching with Anxiety the effect of the napvemoni, and the froa principles promulgated by It upon their own Tho excitement through pttt E?urd| e is interne, and the republican sentiment lepflie, oVpry day to bo growing stronger, Conces •lons have been wrung fioin royslly.in the Italian States, and the people arc everywhere growing bold. «r : In (hesMortioh of their rights.

The Federalists oftbisStale held ft so-called Slate Convention at Harrisburg, on tho ls|h inst., for the purpose of nominating a candidate.'(br Canaly.Com* missioner, (to bo defeated by the people next. fall,) and to appoint Senatorial delegates'io the Federal National Convention, whiclr Is to assemble at Phil.X dclphia Bomo liino in-i May- NerMiddlowarth, Esq., ut present tho Suite Senator from Union county, and a roost bitter Anti-mason, received' the nominal lion for Canal Commissioner.. William F. Johnson, of Armstrong,.an avowed Scott man, and Samuel Bell, of Berks, a Clay man, were selected as the Senatorial delegates; J ™ - A few resolutions were then passed—-oho of them denouncing every candidate who is net " the exponent of well-known and. long established principles of the Whig party,” but we.are hot told by the other reso lutions what those “ principles” are, and all are left in the dark on that subject. .Tho - war is not even hinted at—indeed not one of the resolutionß'give ud the least' idea of the “ principles” of-this mongrel party. The resolutions do not say that the Federal* isle are favorable to any particular policy, nor do they-' even say that they are opposed to anything—they proclaim to {Jib country, just nothing at all ! Before tho adjournment of tho Convention, a resolution was offered nominating that prince of humbugs Andrew Stewart of this Slate, as the .Federal candidate for Vico President,nut it was voted down! Poor ‘'tariff Andy,” he has received tho cold shoulder oven from his supposed friends.- A poor compliment indeed for his struggles for tho defunct tariff. Another reso: lotion was then offered that the names of all the del egates bo called, and that each one should say who ho was in favor of for President. This resolution created some fun, and in tho midst of the confusion a motion was made that the Convention adjournttne die, and (ho Chairman, (without putting tho question,) declared the Convention adjoured! So ended this political farce. , . THE LAW OF LIBEL. Although at. a lute period of the session of oar State Legislature, it is still not too late to do good— and we should like Io sco some action taken in rela tion to (he law of libel—wc should like io see a bill introduced and passed, ollowing the truth to be'given in evidence in all (rials for this offence* For the ad- I ministration ofjuslice.it would appear impossible to | pass a more righlcousor more important bill. It will be asked by every citizen not schooled in such mat tors, “ wlml! con you not give the truth In evidence in all oases on trial before a jury bf your country ?” Wo answer no. You may charge a man with fraud, or any oilier crime, the. evidence bf which is in your possession, and yet the Court will not permit you to submit the facts to the jury, and consequently tho accuser alone is heard. It is one of the severest blows to the liberty of the press, to truth, to justice and public safety, that can well bo imagined. .You : know that a man. is about to Commit a robbery, or | lias committed one, yet at your peril you put the community on its guard against him. We have.had decisions on libel cases which are a disgrace to the name of Justice, and the passage of such & bill as we propose— a bill protecting the innocent, and allowing tho truth to be given in evidence—might be consid ered 'as establishing tho freedom of the or css and protecting the rights and property of the gpblic.— Wherever there is slander, malice, and a determined disposition to injure a citizen without cause, let pun ishment follow; it is the liberty, not the licentious ness of the press which should be protected. But it may be said that an editor with'a good case, has no. occasion to apprehend tho verdict of a jury. Surely not, if ho can gel his case fairly and fully spread before that jury, but the Court steps in and soys: “ that testimony cannot be given, tho technicalities of the law prohibits itwhereas it should be, “spread the > truth, the- whole truths and nothing but the truth,” before tho jury, and leave that jury to decide upon your motitft. Tho Press used to be called the I Palladium of liberty—tho Sentinel on. the Watch tower, yet that sentinel may see u robbery committed, a fraud meditated, a traitorous act to the country | perpetrated, yet he must bo cautions how he sounds the alarm, because the accused, if so disposed, may mulct him in damages and costs In a libel suit. A verdict may/ not, it is. true, bo obtained from a jury, but a defendant may be dragged from court to court, from county to county, may bo subjected to heavy costs and expenses; and when the case is tried, the jury may decide In favor ot that defendant. . A ornue should always be laid in the county in which the alleged libel is published. The.truths and facts, in ail cases, should bo allowed to go to the jury j.and .the jury should .bc the judges of the law and the facts.— The public, as well as tho public press, are deeply interested in bringing about a reform of .this impor tant character, and making U the duty of iho court in all libel cases, (6 allow the facts to go to jury for consideration and decision.

INSURRECTION AND BLOODSHED IN 100,000 Soldiers Under Arins'ln and oronnd the CltT-Uealgfnatlou of the Guizot Ministry. * Wo noticed in our last tbe .feverish state in which political affairs stood in Paris on the niglitof.Thurs. day, the lOlh, and wo regret to announce that each day has added (o that excitement which had ineroas cd to such a pitch on the 22nd, the day on which it had been fixed to hold the great reform banquet, that tho entire city was in open insurrection. The:con versation which took place in tho Chamber ofDepu lies, on Monday evening, between Barrotand pueha. tel; prepared tho people for the formal prohibition of the reform banquet which was to tako place on tho following day. '-. > . Proclamations by the prefect of police, and an order o)f tho day by tho commander ofthe Naliqnu(Guarda, were published, forbidding the banquet, ana ail US’ scmblagcs of tho people; and prohibiting tho appear ance of National Guards in uniform, unless ordered by their chiefs. . In consqgaunce of these acts of Government, (ho. Opposition Deputies met, and re solved lhat tho banquet should not tako place, that the pebple.be entreated to submit, and that a motion for tho impeachment of ministers bo. made, in .the Chamber of Deputies. - It was further resolved, that should this motion bo they would resign their functions as deputies; The army collected willun the surround ing villages and .forts considerably exceeds ono hun dred thousand men. This force, unless the soldiers sympathise with the people, could crush tho Parisians; while the King and M. Guizot might indulge their animosity to public meetings with .perfect safely.— Bat if tho army join the people, this revolution would bo more effectually completed from tho fact that so many men ore congregated-in tho capital and its environs. Orders have been given to. take military occupation of all the points or^tho .capital, oiL,wj)iclj the assemblage of the people rnight Ue-pxpccled.' As the day advffnccdibo assemblages in the streets gradually increased, uwil dense crqwds filled (he principal to the legislative chambers, and bones'of police and military were called oat 10-preserve-order. assdqftbled in great multitudes,round tho Chamber of pfMjpUes, and forced their way over walls.

Tho latter raised barncSdcs in.various places,and unpaved the streets,overturned omnibusscs,and made preparations Tor a vigorous assault, or a protractfetfrcslstanco. All the accounts from Porjs repre»6nVthfe city in a terrific stale of excitement and dismay -the whole of that day. 'All tho street Icading'to the CharaberolS Deputies were, like the bridge, occupied'by strong detachments of troops, and no one was allowedtfto pass except tho deputies, tho newspaper reporters, and those who wore furnished with special of ad mission. . Wo like the following from (ho London Morning Chronicle:— .m Paris, Tuesday Evening. The accounts which I seftt yon ibis morning will have prepared you for great confnsiin in the streets , of Paris, great asscmblagci of the 'people, and partial | disturbance, if not for actual insurrection. There* suit Is just what might have been expected. Immense masses have paraded the public throughfarcs through* out the day. Troops in vast numbers were on foot, and occasionally, where.the mosses became more than ordinarily dense, charges of cavalry were made upon the people, and tho streets with wonderful quickness. The shops were all closed, and business of fcvery kind was suspended. Tho crowd generally directed Itself towards the Place dn la Madelmo (where, if the banquet had gone on, the -procession qf the deputies was to have started from,) to the Placfr de la Concorde; and to the.ncighbbrhood of the Chamber of.Peputies. Tho 1 principal portion of the crowd appeared to have been | drawn together more from curiosity than frdtn the i wish'to create disorder, and they,were far more for* midalle from their vast-numbers than from their pp* parent- intentions; still, however; there wore occa sional parlies of a very different Character. Musses of men in blouses, frequently amounting to thousands, were to bo seen marching together with a -certain degree of order, and apparently under regular lead* ore. /' • A •. . ; A largo body of students also paraded’the Boole- Varda, mixed with others of a more ambiguous, if not a more dangerous description, singing Iho Mar eeilluiseii the vCry’pitch‘of their voices, and vocifer ating a hat Quitotl a has Miniiterel Vite la re forme! accompanied 1 with groans or cheers as the ease might bo. If to this you add regiments of Municipal Guards, horse and foot, drawn up in different quarters, and occasionally charging, the people wham they assembled in largo numbers or thousands upon thousands of in all the principal squares, DouloffVu , a>and quays; and multitudes of anxious people crowding the windows wherever there was a chance of seeing wJiot vrm going on; you have before you a picture of what JPuns was during the whole of this day. I shall now proceed to give you delJChed details, which it is difficult to arrange in a regular snd con nected form. I have already, said that the prinplj’j" point to which the crowd tended was the Palace do (a Madeleine and the Palace de la Concord,' About half past eleven a regiment of infantry and several squadrons drew up near the church of the Madeleine, where the crowd was most dense. A few minutes afterwards an immense body of persons almost all dressed In blouses, and said to n mount to upwards of 6000, oppeared from the direction of the Boulevards, but no one could exactly say from what place they came. They marched in procession, holding ouch other's arms and sung the Marseillaise th one general chorus. When passing Durand's rpsturont,- they gave,three cheers-fur reform,and then proceeded whhoui slopping to the Place do iu Concorde, their evident intention being to make their way to. the Chamber, of-Deputies. At the bridge opposite the Chamber of Deputies, however, (hey wore stopped by. a largo body of cn'vair'y and ( Infantry, drown up on the bridge. They were Uien'brougM to a-stohd.stni, ahd their numbers were so-grout that they filled the whole of the Place de la Concorde,’oho of the largest squares in 'Europe. Just at that moment a portion pf the regiment of cavalry at the bridge charged upon the mass,'separated it, and drove'a considerable “por tion back towards Iho Boulevards, while the rest was driven into the Champs, Elysccs, and the rest down the RuclUvoli. The whole‘of (he place was cleared In less time (hap can bo conceived, hut (ho soldiers, (hough they did their duly With groat determination and effect, so far from using unnecessarily means, appear, cd to go obout with great humanity end even good humor. The portion of Ihe crowd dflven back to. wards the Boulevards, und still marching in order, and arm in arm, had four National Guards at la Madeleine an attempt was made by the (rooQS to dispci kb them, wliic'h was only partially successful, and shortly afterwards they mol another large body, the loaders of whom fraternally embraced the Nat‘l. Guards. ’ ' * .,_ On arriving In front of the JloUl d€M rengeret they stopped, and sung the Marseillaite In 1 full chorus. They then began to cry out aba» Ouixot 1848. 1847. 28.285 26.921 26,899 All others, 27,035 HI6HL¥f?IMPORTAHT INTEII FLIGHT TO EIL GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. Sacking of tlio Palace. PARIS. —«6os U ilifinislere,” and the excitement was evi’ dcnlly-inoredßing.;.'At length a very young man took up every .large stone, which he hurled Against tho great'gale of the hotel, an example which . was fol lowed by'thb rest, who began knocking against the galoj’’a shower of stones was.thrown'at the samp time, and broke several windows, During this lime a,Body pf-ilie Municipal Guards (infantry,) who were drawn up within the. gates, deliberately loaded their mUskois, and prepared for what might follow; but a body of. cavalry emerging from tho Ruo dos Capa cln'es, at that moment charged, struck some of the most active 1 with the fiat side of thdir sabres, and very soon succeeded in dispersing tho crowd, and re* lieving the residence of the President of tbe Council from the danger it was in. In a small street in tho neighborhood of tho Ruo Vivienne a body of ruffians attempted to break into a gunmokcr’s simp, but failed. Then they attacked the shop of. a poor marchatui de boii t and plundered it of ths small.quantity of firewood it contained, which they formed into strokes. In the different attacks made' by the troops' some severe blows were occasionally dealt, and upon the whole a considerable number of persons received, sabcfrculs and severe bayonet-wounds . but I, did not hoar.of. any. one be. ing killed. I may as well mention that among tho other crios that issued from tho,crowd, was that of Vive la iigne, which was to be heard every lime tho compact bodies which appeared from time to time, passed a regiment of infantry. A grout number of prisoners wore taken by tho police, who had buen caught in Uio act of uttering seditious ertes, or.throwing stones. These are the pr incipal incidents which have como within, my notice in the course of the day. They wore not very serious in themselves, but lliov are just of a nature that might at any moment load to a catastrophe. Ono thing must appear evident to any one who has. scon tho aspect of Paris during this day; and that is, that tho Government, ia determining not to allow the procoBsion.of deputies, and the enormous additional number of persons which would huyo as. ecmblcd.hnd it taken place, came to a wise dctcrmi. nation. Whether they would not have done bettor hadthoy given the orders for stopping it at an earlier period, and before the preparations wero made, is another matter. I think they would. Had the notico been given threo days ago that the meeting waanot lobe allowed, a great aoalof tho excitement and confusion of this,day would hove been avoided. Tho excuse' of the Government is, that It did hot ihterfpro until the, promoters of the banquet begun to organize and arrange National Guards and other persons to form the procession.— The excuse is hardly .tenable, for it was .known and dearly .announced several .days before, that tho.pro- 4 cession was to bo ono of the principal parts of the demonstration. It is rumored that eleven of the twelve deputies of Parts have resigned their seats. iIGENCE! IMPEACHMENT! OF,THE MINISTRY. At the meeting of thoCHsanber of Deputies on the 22d, the deputies of the Opposition, to the number of $3, submitted the following proposition s— '“Wo propose to place.ihu Minister in accusation as Guilty— “l, Of having betrayed abroad the honor and the interests of Franco. “2.

The Reform ManlftiUtlon*' The following is the reform manifestation issued on Monday morning by tho Opposition, and publish ed in ail the Liberal papers, and by . which the Ministry- support thoir reasons for prohibiting tho banquet:— * , “ REFORM MANimTMtylfi . "The general committee the banquet oflho 13th atrondlsemenl, thinks it right to slate that the object of the demonstration' fixedeputics, members of the Council General, magistrates/ officers, sub* officers, and soldiers of the National Guard, members ofthc central committee, of electors ofthe Opposition, and edilorrf'of newspapers of Paris, hove accepted the I invitation which was inndoto lake part in the dc* | monutrutlon, in order to protest, in virtue of the law, 1 against an illegal and arbitrary pretension. As it is natural to foresee that this public protest may attract a considerable gathering of citizens) asj it may bo assumed also that the National Guards of Paris,faithful to their motto, “ lAberte Ordre Public will desire,on this occasion, to accomplish the double dtity of defending liberty by joining the demonstra lion, and protecting order,and preventing all collision by their presence; and*as, in the expectation of a numerous meeting of National Guards and of citizens it seems right to lake measures for preventing every cause of trouble and tumult, the committee has thought that the demonstration should lake place in Ihut.quprtcr ofthe capital in which tho width Of the streets and squares enables the population to assemble without excessive crowding; accordingly, tho depu* tics, peers of France, and other persons invited to tho banquet, will assemble on -Tuesday next at eleven •b’clock, in tho ordinary place of the meeting of the purlimc.iiUry Opposition, Place do la Madeleine, 2; tho subscribers to the banquet, who belong to the National Guard, arc requested 4JO meet before the church of the Madeleine, and to form two parallel lines, bbtwcon which tho persons invited will place themselves; tho cortege will be headed by tins supo. rior officers oflho National Guard who may present I themselves to join the demonstration; immediately after ibopcrsons invited and the guests wilt be placed a rank bFofilcowi ofthe National Guard;, behind the latter the National Guards, formed In columns ac. cordingty to tho number of the legions; between the third and fourth columns the ypang men of tho schools,headed by persons chosen by themselves; next, the other National Guards of Paris and tho suburbs, in the order set forth above, Tho cortege will leave at half past eleven o’clock, and wlllprocccd by tho Place do la Concorde and tho Champs Elysoos to tho place in which the banket is to toko place. ■ The committee, convinced that this demonstration I will bo .the moro efficacious the more it bo calm, and I tlio moro imposing the more It phall avoid oven all pretext of conflict, Invites the citizens to utter no cry, to carry 'neither flag nqr exterior sign, it invites the National Guards who may take part In tho demon' slrotion to present themselves without arms; for Un desired to make a legal and pacific protest, which must bo especially powerful by tho number and tho firm and trannuil altitude of tho citizens; Tho com mittee hopes that on this occasion every man present will consider himself os a functionary charged to cause order to bo respected; it trusts in tho presence ofthe National Guard; it trusts In tho sentiments of the Parisian population, which desires public peace with liberty, and which knows that, to secure the maintenance of, Its rights, It has only need of a .peaceable demonstration, as becomes an Intelligent phd enlightened.nation, which has the consciousness of the irresistibin authority of its moral power, ond which in assured that it will cauio,Us legitimate wishes to prevail by tho legal arid calm expression of its opinion." ' Paris, Wednesday, 3 o'clock. After 1 despatched my loiters last evening, events of greater Importance than had taken place up id post hour hud occurred. In several streets running into the Rue St. Denis and tho Rue St. Martin, the people orcclcd barricades, by tearing up Die paving stones, seizing carts, omnibuses, &o. Most of these barrl cades were soon carried by the municipal guards and troops;, but at sonic of them severe engagement took place, notwithstanding tho people wore almost on* lircly unarmed. Tho markets, the Place dela Con* oordb, (lie 'Plato du* Carrousel, tho Boulevards, tho Rde St. llonore, and nn immense number of other streets und places wore occupied by tho troops^-ln fact the whole of Paris were occupied os if civil war had boon everywhere raging.' The troops remained with their arms in their hands all night. As 1 turned into tho Rue St. Denis, the dragoons, who Wero stationed dose by tho Porto, received orders to charge, and I saw (hem gallop down the street at a rapid rate, with their draWn swords gleaming in the min. Aflho same moment, detachments,uf light dragoons and infantry hastened after them; From this it was dear that additional assistance .tyae re quired against tho people in that ... .' .On leaving the Rue St. Denis, I.saw a VastArtulli* tudo approaching, headed - by a rod flog. From the haste with which they advanced, it was plain that they were being pursued by. the mililory. About an hour ago, I observed artillery advancing towards the Boulevards, with the object, no doubt of being direct ed on the Rue St. Martin, and that neighborhood.— Tho Ruo St. Honoie is occupied with an immense crowd. Tho garden of the Palais Royalis closed. All the passages are.also closed, and occupied with troops.. You will'find it difficult to conceive'tho mournful attitude of this usuolly gav'olty at thltf mo ment. Shops closed every every whem —alarm and anxiety among all classes. single omnibus to be seen ( not q carriage, nor. a a!‘few hack cabs. Hero and Inero, Vehicles, over* thrown; the pavements lorn Ufi— gas lamps smashed —and the remains of wanton destruction frequently visible.' 1 Great numbers'of fresh troops have been marched Into Paris thismorning, from the towits and garrisons within rcach'of the capital. In some streets tbo populace have destroyed the elcctrjc telegraph. - • * The National Guard, though the rapptl was fre quonlly beaten-lost evening, scarcely turned out at all. In several'placcs, it is said, scarcely three per* sons in a whole company answered the rapjael. This morning the rappel has been-again beaten : wilh a like result In the districts where tjio National Guards did assemble they cried “ Vive la Reformb 1” and sung the Marseillaise, The Guizot Ministry has resigned. = A deputation of the officers of the National Guard went to tbo Tuitories to demand that it should be [dismissed, when they were told by General Jacqueminot* commanding the National Guard, that itioJMinistry had given in its resignation. . - . . ’ The red aspect of the sky in the direction ofMont Valcricn showed that an incendiary fire .was raging there. " - • The intelligence of the resignation, .of the Minis try is spreading like wildfirb through the city, and is everywhere received, with-every demonstration of joy. At this moment-there is an iminense crowd on" the Boulevard, shouliog u Vjve la Reforme.” A gen eral commanding the troops exclaimed,- “ You shall have reform.”— I “And the dismissal of the .Ministry?” cried the people. “Their dismissal, and accusation, and everything,” Was the answer, and it was receiv ed with shouts of applause. The fighting in the quarter of. St. Martin still con* tinues, and troops are proceeding to it. When howev er, they shall learn the overthrow of the ministty, it is believed that hostilities will immcdiatolycease. : In passing the bank, just now, I saw.the mob,had got possession of tho .guard-house at the corner.— They had torn down tho flag, and a fellow hoisted it on . a largo polo. There were then shouts of “To the Tuilcriesi To, tbo TuiicrJes 1” Fresh troops nro being-summoned to Paris. The regiment of carabineers, in garrison at Proving, are expected momentarily. At Ctichy,tbo inhabitants have been told to prepare for the reception of troops. During last night the barricades of yesterday rtior ning were removed. However, this morning large numbers of the populace were under arms, and re building barricades. The streets of St.-Denis, St. Marlin,JUrabutean, St. Sanvier.de Gravi)liers< and all the narrow streets adjoining, have been barrica ded, and bo well defended, that, up to eleven o’clock, the troops bad failed in their attempts to take posses sion of thorn. The Municipal Guards were repulsed to the'Rue Montorqueit, by the firing of the populace. The garrison of 30,000 troops are oil employed to guard the innumerable avenues to the Place Girard. Many of the regiments are overcome with fatigue. The councils of Ministers, and a crowd of parlia mentary dignitaries have taken rofugo in the cha teau. Fresh troops are expected every moment by railway. AH Government officials have been ordered to place ihemselves under arms os. National Guards. The troops of (he line have been provided with, hatchets to cut down tho'bsrricades* The 2d, 4th and slh 10. giona of the National Guard have mustered strongly, shouting “ Vivo le Rcformc i A bas'Guizot!” The revolt now appears to bo concentrated in the SU Den nis and St. Martin quarters, wherojx sharp fire is kept up between the insurgents and Ihe.MunicipalGuard. It Is rumored that the artillery is directed to destroy the barricades, and that cannon have been fired in the streets. . , In the Chamber of Deputies to-day, M.
