T►e ?regress of the French Revolution.
We publish this week later intelligence horn
France, which represents the overthrow of Louis
Phißippe and his family as complete, and the esta
blishment, and recognition by Foreign Ministers,
of a provisional government. Louis Phillippe,
"the richest man in Europe," afterwandering with
his royal consort, in almost utter destitution amongst
farm houses, in a country over which but a few
days since, he had ruled with power almost des
potic, has arrived in England. His family and his
ministers have sought in precipitate flight, that safe
ty which they felt was not due them at home ; and
with an .amount or blood-shed and anarchy, so
small as to belunparalleled in history, France has
risen from her sufferinty t deposed her. oppressors,
and the tri-col&ed flag now floats over a Republic.
The attention of America is 1110 W directed with
intense interest to the spectacle exhibited in that
country. Their efforts for freedom strike a sympa
thetic chord in tin; country, which has sent up a
spontaneous and general expression of encourage
ment and good-will for the triumph of Freedom in,
la belle France. The question materially arises,
will she be able to maintain her independence, and
rear up safely, a faorie of self-government to be the
example of all Europe? Welrieline`to the airy.-
inative opinion. We believe that the French na-,
Lion ate ready for a 4 Republic, and though this revo
lution—(like our own gtrajpus struggle for Liberty)
—has been forced upon them, and fully carried out,
without preconCeption or deliberation, none the less,
has it realized the hopes in which that country has
only dared for some time to indulge. This may as
yet be only the " beginning of the end." Blood
mayryet flow in rivers—the forms of goveramcia
be change:it and re-modelled---confusion and an
archy for a While reign supreme—yet there is such
an immeasurable distance between this and former
revolutions, such a determination and unity of feel
ing in regard to those who have tyrannized over
them that we have no hesitation in saying that the
age of Kings in France has passed by—the love of
liberty and the hatred of oppression so strong, that
a Denton or Robbespierre cannot now flourish, and if
Frenchmen are true to themselves and their ,ours=
try, by bloodless and peaceful means,they Can form
a Republic which shall ensure the safety and hher.
ty of their country, and prove the cause of
dsmum
bered blessings.
She has nothir g to fear from the remainder of
Europe-;---Kings and Emperors are, in too much
peril at home. to attempt coercive Measures tc.
wards France. She rather has the sympathy and
commendation of a great part of Europe to cheer
her on in the great reform she has undertaken. In
her former revolutions the feeling has been inimi
cal to her efforts, and has served in a measure to
defeat their *success. Tlie face of Europe is now
changed for the better. Men have leas respect fur
the " right divine," and .knowledge .cud intelli
gence have made rapid progress. 41n a correspond
ing measure men learn their own situation and the
situation of those around them. They find them
selves va , sals—servants to an aristocracy which
has neither virtue nor the authority of (61 to com
mend it. They •look upon other countries where
Freedom has a place, and by comparison find how
different is the situation of the self-governed to
their own meial and abject state. Their faith in
Kings is shaken—the love of liberty aroused, and
a corresponding detestation of tyranny awakened.
The tight dr Liberty and her handmai I knowledge
- dissipates the clarinet's of the degenerate feudal
ages, and before their rays the benighted Kingdoms
of Europe must fade arid vanish.
hi Fiance, the efforts of her men •of letters have
for some time past been given to the enlight
ened of the nuessets and strenuous efforts roads for
the amelioration of their condition. • We believe
they are thorougly informed of the tyranny they
have undergone, writ have Wen prepared folly of
their ultimate destinatimi—as Republicans, It is in
• these labors, and in the pmgress the masses have
made in the scale of intelligence, that we found
,nor hopes. We trust they may net be disappointed.

Speaker, Mr: Packer, Messrs. Little, Pierce, GOff,

were that it is yet in the hands of the cotispany,

of the next session and also that the present eco

:. On Thuisday evening last, Geo. B. Perkins, son
of Mr. Gec. A. Perkins, of Athens, Pa., and clerk in
his father's store, disappeared under circumstances
which have very naturally, excited the apprehen

between 9 and 10 o'clock in the evening, since
which time he has not been seen ; and all efforts
either to get trace of him or unravel the mystery• of
his disappearance have proved entirely futile. The
store was found closed in the morning, as usual,
every thing having been left in the customary man
ner within, and the door locked and key gone.—
Nothing whatever is known which could have form
ed an inducement to him to leave home in a clan
destine manner :Ake was a yours; man of good cha

The eircamstance is certainly a very mysterious

siuon, when we should ha,.e but one.
We trust that some arrangement will be made
between the gentlemen named, by which the matter
may be settled to the satisfaction of both parties.—
They are both ood true whtgs, and either of them

Of the Most important character: Its main features
may be told in a few words. ' . •
France maintains her position as a repoblie, and
has been recognized as such by nearly all the Min
isters resident at Paris. The King and Koyai kmi
ly, with M . . Guizot. have arrived in England. bip
turbances have broken out in various parts of Eu
rope, and in the principal cities of Great Britian,
but they seem thus tar not to have been very for
midable.
From the synopsis which we publish below, it
will be seen that the decrees of the Provisional
Government are of the most radical character, go
ing far beyond simple republicanism, and embody
ing many of the principles of Communion and So
cialism. The Chambers of Deputies and of Peers
have been abolished by proclamation of the peo
ple. The municipal gu ard has been abolished, and
a National Guard of 20,000 men enrolled. The
National Assembly is to be convoked - on the 20th
of April next. Universal sutirago is allowed.
In other parts of Europe the revolution has pro
duced a profound sensation.

In Spain the French party has been overthrown.
' Disturbanees have broken out again at Messina,
in conbequence of the King of Naples breaking his

bombarded .
The commercial intelligence is also interesting.
The money market has suffered severely in France
from the Revolution, and is still greatly depressed.
Cotton has fallen..
DETAILS OF THE PROOHECH OF TIIE REVOLUTION.-
The intelligence by the last steamer, brought down
the news from Paris to the 25th of February, when
the King had abdicated and fled, and a republic was
announced. We give the details as they transpi
red since, in their regular order.
Nam, 28th Feb.
The proclamation of the sovereign people of
France has now declared that Government having
betrayed the trust reposed in it, therefore' it is de
facto and de jure dissolved. and that consequently
the fall exemiseof soverei;nty has been resumed
by the people. A decree 'has been passed, show
the basis on which the government of France
will be base‘l, as follows :
The Chamber of Peers representing the interests
of the aristocracy is suppressed: and the Chamber
of Deputies, which has been the mere representa
tive of privileged monopoly and corruption, and the
majority of whose members have been participa
tors in the unpardonable crime of the late govern
ment in subjecting the citizens to a murderous fire,
are hereby and remain tliolved, and the nation is
from the present moment henceforth constituted a
REPCDLIC. The citizens will remain in arms until
th.'w acquire the enjoyment of all their rights.
gvery citizen who has attained his majority is to
be an Elector . Mere is to be absolute ireeitkom of
tliOnahr tiod liberty of the press. The right of po
litical and i,:dustrial association is secured to all, as
the government of the future cin roily. from the
p r i nc i p l es u p on w;,.,;ch it rests, respect the wishes
and interests of all the French nation.
The people are advised to meet in coinmunes as
deliberative assemblies to eteet real . representatives
of the people—the masses and i;ot the privileged
few—and Until the nation has forti:ally declared
that it will hear the claims of obsolete pewers. pre
vious to that time attempts to restore them shall be
deemed usurpations ; and tt is the duty of the citi
zens to resist such attempts by foice.
" Brethren, be calm, I conjure you. in the name
of Liberty, Equality and Human fraternity.''
The French Provinces partake of the enthusiasm
of the capital, and a republic has been proclaimed
in a number of towns. M. Arago. Minister of Ma
rine, sent Tor the French admirals in Paris and ask'
ed them if they were willing to serve the Republic.
They replied that they were. Admiral !leaden
was then 'appointed commander of the forces at
Toulon, and a fleet sailed immediately' for Algeria
to proclaim it an integral part of the Frenclilleputr-
A tern pest has raged all night. Torrents of rain
fell this morning as Lam'anine stood on the swan•
ease of the Hotel de Vile, and declared that the na
tional workshops were open for those without wc rk.
This was received with enthusiastic .cheers. The
death penalty fog-political ottences has been abol

the government. -
An order has been made out to arrest the . ex
ministers who fled from the grand demonstration

which had enacted rilmrous measnres against de

issued a proclamation which put a stop to film.
The people found an image of Christ sculptured in

The Provisional Government went from. the Ho

Bastile to inaugurate the day recompered by lib.
eery. The National Guards having turned out, de
filed past the column dressed in tri-color flags. The
Polish refugees met, and organized a Provisional
Government composed of seven persons. '
The news to-day is the Thiera, Barrett, and Bil
lautt parties, have united and given in their adhe

tion. 42R persons were wounded, of whom 350
were civilians, and 7R were military.
The Journal des Debars, the Ministerial organ, has
joined the Republicans.
Doings on the Bourse are altogether suspended.
.The stoppage of the Commercial and Royal Banks
created the greatest consternation. Commercial
transactions are almost entirely suspended. Confi
dence is totally destroyed by the announcement
that two large bankers refused assistance to the pub
lic in discounts. So universal was-distrust among
the commercial classes that a deputation of Bank
ers and Merchants sought an interview with the
Minister, that lie might devise some plan which
might enable them to resume business tranimetions
and prevent the inconveniences which would en
sue should they be compelled to suspend their bu
siness.
Mr. Rush, Ambassador of the United States, ac.
companied by Dr. Martin arid Maj. Coussin, like..
