THE FRENCH NATIONAL ASSEMBLV.—PRO
CLAMATION OF THE REPUBLIC.
(rriost OUR OWS CoaIIEITONDr.KT.)
Pests, Friday, May 5.
The Republic was proclaimed last evening.
The particulars of the ceremony are thus statede
M. Berger, in - the name of the deputies of the Seine,
proposed "The National Assembly, faithful interpre
ter of the sentiments of the people,- by whom it has
just been named, before commencing its labors, de
clares in the name of the French people and in the
face of the whole world, that the Republic proclaim
ed in the 24th February, IS4B, is, and will remain,
the form of the government of France.
"The Republic which France wishes for has fur
its motto, 'Liberty, equality, and fraternity.'
"In the name of the country the assembly conjures
all Frenchmen of all opinions to forget ancient dis
sensions, and only to form one family.: The day
which assembles the representatives of the people
is for all citizens the fete of concord and fraternity."
(Loud cries of 'Viva hißepublique.'")
M. Clement Thomas.—That declaration should be
made in the name of all the deputies of the depart
ments, and not in that'only of the department ot the
Seine. I demand that it shall be made in the name
of the entire National Assembly. (cries of "Yes,
yen.")
M. Berger.—lt is in the name of the whole as
sembly that the deputies of the Seine have spoken.
M. tanrut—l demand thatthe proclamation should
be made in the name of all the departments of
France, and that to the words French. Republic
should be added eat and indirisibbt.
M. Ducoux.—lt is in fact in the name of the whole
of France that such a proclamation shouldhe made.
M. Vignerte.—l demand that in the minutes of the
sating it shall be expressly mentioned that our ac
clamations for the Republic were unanimous.
A Voice.—The Republic is a fait accompli. (can
not comprehend that it could be put in question.
M. Etienne Arago.—The people proclaimed it be
fore you.
M. Emmanuel Arago.—No postponement. Let
our acclamaeons be raised at once, and proclaim the
Republic forthwith. (cries of "Yes, yes.") '
M. Degoutisee.- - --It has been said that the artillery
of the Invalides and in the Champs Elyrees *mild
announce the proclamation of the RepUblic. The
people assembled there await it with a noble impa
tience. Let us not make them wait any longer (ap
probation).
A Voice.—As yet it has been only proclaimed pro
visionally.
M. Hure.—After the fact should come the right.
M. Barbes.—We have only to proclaim the Re
public after the people. Let us all cry, "Long live
the Republic—one, indivisible, and social!"
M.:Trelat.—The Republic is ifact which has been
preparing for many long years, a necessary, a scien
tific fact (oh, oh). The proof of its necessity is, that
it is proclaimed in this.chamber, adjoining the other
where it was combatted two months since. The
greatest proof is, that evert those who then protested
against it do so nolonger. If there are any citizens
here who think of another form of government (no,
no—Vive la Republique). The Republic, therefore,
is like the sun—blind is he who does not see it.
A Voice.—Let us proclaim the Republic.
General Courtais.—l come in the name of the pee
plc ot Paris (interruption)—l request the members of
the Provisional Government to come out on the peri
tyle of the building, and the representatives of the
people to follow them, in order to proclaim the Re
public great agitation). The whole assembly rose
in the midst of the londeat acclamations of approval.
A Member.—The heroic population of Paris, re
quests you, through the Commandant of the Nation
al Guard, to proclaim with it the Republic in the
ra Se or u d t a rL -
at enthuviamwas then evinced, and, the
roviaional Government leading the way, the whole
f the assembly proceeded outside to the steps,tin
runt of the building, opposite the Point de fa Con
orde. All the officers or the National Guard, which
using the latter part of the sitting had occupied the
vide space at each side of the catrade, as far as the
omen' of the tribune, took up their stations close to
hem. An immense number of National Guards
were admitted inside the railing, below the steps,
whilst the colors of the different legions were con
ducted up with great ceremony to the wide space
between the pillars, and then disposed at equal dis
tances on each side of the provisional Government.
The whole of the open area between the chamber
and the bridge,
and far down along the quays, on
each side, was densely covered with closely-packed
owds of people, interspersed with large bodies of
t arde Mobile, and other National Guards.—
Les of "Vive la Republique!" arose both from the
rowd and the troops standing on the steps ; other
cries of "We want the troops of the line!" "We
want the colors of the line!" burst from various par
ties of the crowd. This cry was at last repeated so
perseverintly that General Connate was obliged to
descend the steps and go outside the railing to bring
in several colors of the line each under a numerous
escort. The scene then became of a most enthusi
astic character. Swords were waved on high ; mil
itary caps were displayed on the points of bayonets;
the bands played national airs; the cannon thundered
from the Invalides; and 'the air was rent with the
cries of "Vive la Republique!" In act, the Re
public was thus publicly proclaimed.
M. Cremieux, member of the Provisional Govern
ment, after calling for silence, read, in the name of
he whole assembly, the address which had just been
ado by M. Berger.
This address was followed by fresh exclamations
nd salvos of artillery. The National Guard pro.
nted arms during the ceremony; the drums beat,
nd the trumpet sounded, while the members tittle
, avernment and the deputies returned into the cham-
After a few further returns were made by the bu
reaux, the sitting was adjourned, it being seven
o'clock.
It is supposed that not less than 200,000 persons
were present on the occasion, both close to the
chamber, on the bridge and on the Place de la Rev
olution.
The Journal des Debati thus gives its impressions
of tho opening and closing scenes, which it must
have felt too deeply not to well describe :
"At half past three o'clock the sitting was rc.
sumed, the reporters succeeded each ether at the
tribune, and reported about 600 elections that had
been validated. The election of M. Schmitt, the
deputy for Paris, has been adjourned ; but it was
not there that' lay the interest of the scene. It was
on the concentrated agitation, that by intervals ex
pressed itself in the perpetual cry of " Vise la Re
publique!" Prom time to time some one would
vise suddenly—some one new and unknown—who
demanded the proclamation of the Republic ; and as
soon would this isolated voice be covered and over
whelmed by a mass of acclamations. One of the
representatives of Paris read from the tribune a pro
ject of Proclamation;and all the representatives of
the provinces rose to put in their claims to share
the act. In fine, there passed in this assembly a
sort of travail 4:reit/nutmeat—there was a great
clamour, which seemed to swell its breast, and to
demand an issue. It was a series of explosions
which sought their electric current. It was then
that the assembly went forth to proclaim the Re
public upon the steps of tho'Palais, facing the bridge
thalleads to the Place de Concorde. The Repre
sentatives of France stood there, and beneath them
the battalions of the National Guard and of the army
pressing around their draper= The drums beat,
the national hymns were taken up by the people ;
and it was in the midst of this unheard and , indiscri
bable scene that France declared the Republic: It
was without order, it was without rule, it was a revo
lution once more; it was like a vision passing before
our eyes confonnded, blinded by the setting sun, by
the.drapruz, by the reflection of arms. But we do
not live in the midst of dreams, or rather in the midst
of realities that go bejund the hardiest essays of
imagination.
The Siecte has the following :
"In proclaiming the Republic, does the Assem
bly give its full adhesion to all the acts of the Pro
visional Government t Thus question which every
one asks himself to-day., appears to us to be settled
for the .present. Three times at the commencement
of the sitting in the ceremony of installation which
preceded the verification of the qualifications, three
times it was attempted , to confound with the cry. of
iirit4taliqui,”.:ailhomage rendered to the
Provisional Government; three times did it fail. The
Assembly remained gmve, refusing an eager praise
as it would a ieproack without reflection, and re
setting itsopinion.ofwaruntil after an account shall
be given of its no's. this conduct it shows that
if it has recognized the services rendered, that if it
was disposed to forget faults, it would not, notwith
standing, consent to withhold thlir 'ezainination.
We cannot hut commend this attitude. The firol
nese of the representatives of the nation attest that
they feel the value of unity and resolution In . the

From the London Herald, May 6.
It is known that a draft of a constitution was pre
pared a fortnight ago by M. de Co rm eni n,at the request
of the Provisional Government. In this rough draft,
a single president, as in America, waa 'fixed upon.
But after the sketch had been submitted to the Pro
visional Government M. Lamartine induced his col
leagues to adopt a triumvirate, and in that form, we
believe, the proposition will be submitted to the As
sembly. A single chamber only will be recommend
ed, the three presidents to have a suspensive veto.
The separation of Church and State will, we under
stand, also be recommended, and one of the first
acts of the Finance Minister will be to state that he
is not prepared to produce any ecclesiastical budget.
It seems to be the general opinion that the Assembly
will sanction generally the acts of the li:secutive of
the 24th of February.
Correspondence qf the Pittsburgh Morning PAIL
BALTIMORE, May 23, 1848
Drava sta : --The proceedings of the Democratic
National Convention have been very exciting both
yesterday end to-day, and as yet nothing certain is
known 11s to who will be the nominees for President
and Vice-President.
Yesterday's proceedings you will have seen in the
Baltimore papers, they are correctly reported end
need not be here repeated. This day the Conven
tion met at 9 o'clock, A. M., Alumna STEVZISSON,
of Virginia, having been selected President, for the
permanent organisation, took the chair, and on
doing so made livery eloquent address to the Con
vention'.
The first business in order, was the adopt on of
rules for the government ofthe Convention. Those
efthe convention of 1844 we. e adopted; the two first,
without much difficult). A warm discussion, how
ever, sprung op when the famous "two-third rule"
came up ; bat it was adopted by a very large vote,
175 to 78. This result was considered, by many, as
fatal to Gen. Case prospects, and it was a trying
time on the Pennsylvania delegation, but that dele
gation was composed of men of sterling integrity,
and thus met the question with firmness and dignity,
and voted against the rule, conformable to the in
structions of the State Convention, although, it was
well known that the defeat °Nile rule, was almost
fatal to'the prospects of Pennsylvania's choice for
the Presidency.
The result, as I said before, is extremely doubt
ful. The friends of Gen. Cass assert, that he has
120 votes, certain, on the first ballot ; and if the old
Hunker delegation should be admitted to seats in
the Convention, will have a majority on srat ballot.
Since the adoption of the " two third rule," Mr.
Buchanan's friends seem to be in high hopes, and I
think not without good reason.• Mr. Woodbury
has some very ardent friends, bat they are not in
number equal to either Buchanan or Cass. I can
not ascertain the strength of any of the other candi
dates named, their friends are very quiet and proba
bly will remain so until the three strongest have
been laid aside or one of them nominated.
The contested seats from New York, is now (8
o'clock. P. M.) under discussion in the Convention.
The result is quite as uncertain as the nomination.
The Cass men will go for the "041 Hankers," be
cause they are understood to be favorable to that
gentleman's nomination ; doubtless they also con
sider them otherwise entitled to their seats. I am
inclined to believe, if either set should be admitted,
the Barn burners are the men.
Since writing the foregoing the Convention has
laid the subject on the table, and decided to hear
both parties to-morrow morning, giving each party
two hours to discuss their claims. When the Con
vention will, terminate their labors, it is imposible
to say, until this all-absorbing question is settled.
There is a gOod feeling in the Convention, and
when a nominee shall have been selected you may
rest assured, the vrhole party will be united.
In haste and confusion,
The County Subscription.
Electors of Allegheny county remember that this
day you are called upon to decide a question preg
nant with importance to every man in the county,
poor or rich; laborer or capitalist.
The question submitted is simply this :—Will you
authorize the County Commissioners to loan the
credit of the County to the amount of $1,000,000
by which the completion of the Pennsylvania rail
road will be insured at once t or will you determine
to refuse this loan which will cost you nothing, and
stop the road at Hollidaysburg probably for the next
six years.-
There is no hope that Philadelphia, without our aid
and countenance, will be able toeomplete the road
on this aide of the mountains, until the Eastern Di•
vision is finisned gad in snecessflil operation ; and
every hour that this great work is delayed, we are
paying tribute to Mr. VloLano for the benefit of
Wheeling.
Oar action this day, may decide our future destiny
If we act wisely, the railroads necessary to supply
the wants of the mighty west, will concentrate here
as a common centre; and Pittsbrgh will become the
emporium of commerce and manufactures, for the
Ohio Valley and the Lakes. If we refuse or neglect
to accept the opportunity now offered, it may never
be in our power again to embrace it.
Let no man think h!s vote unimportant ; one vote
may decide the question affirmatively or negatively;
and it will be difficult hereafter to frame an excuse
ever for a dereliction of duty on a point of such
pressing necessity. COMIIMICATID.

asked by many anzious souls, who, perhaps in the last

LOCAL MATTERS.
" Love Daors."—A sentimental young , un, just
from the woods, went into Mohler , / on Wednesday,
and asked, with great confidence, fora bottle of
" Love Drops." was non-plused for a few min
utes—not knowing whether the customer wished
the article in earnest, or was only attempting 'to
"bore ;,, but he soon recovered, and concluded that
he o rnight as well make a' sale and gain a penny, as
not. So he answers: 4, We have the article," and
bottled up a few ounces of Sarsaparilla, which
greeny took away, thinking that he would accomplish
something in the heart regions before many moons.
Whether Sarsaparilla actsas_a tonic in c.aies of de•
lapidated affections, we do not know; but it is hop
ed that the drug will result in great good to the poor
fellow who is the innocent subject of this local.
=Talking about Sarsaparilla, reminds us that
Mohler is putting up fountains, and in a few days
will be preßared to serve his friends with Mineral
Water, cool and exhilerating!
UNIT= STATES CIRCUIT COURT.—. -The lime of the
Court has been taken up during the week with a
clock case—Jerome vs. Brice. • The plaintiff is a
Yankee clock manufacturer, of great note in the
world, who held a note of defendant for $2,000, for
clocks, which defendant refused to pay, on the
ground that the clocks did not turn out such as rep
resented. The Jury returned a verdict for Plaintiff
of $24,00. The case was ably conducted by Messrs.
Forward and Swartzwelder for Plaintiff; Messrs.
Metcalf and Loomis for Defendant.
The (Slave) case of Logan vs. Mchlasters was
continued till next term, on account of the non.
arrival of a material witness on the part of Plaintiff.
There being no other business before the COurt,
the Jurors were discharged, and the Court ad.
Pawned.
MORT. VILLAURT —A few days ago a.woll dressed
gentleman entered the store of E. Todd & Co., &w
-rier ofrifth and Market, and bargained for a tolera
bly large lot ofgoodt, which Glad packed in a box.
While the cicrka were doing this, he took advantage
of their •'absent mindedness" and stole silks, &c.
to the amount of $lBO.
The tame fellow attempted a tricker like quality

Tnz Couvens.—'
ed an Ordinance ei
meats, which arc c.
the building up of
most important of
located on the City Lot, on Prospdctt Hill. We
learn that the struggle in the Council was kept up
until a late hour, when the " Hunkers" abandoned
the field. As far as we can ascertain, the improve
ments in the Ordinance are all proper, needful, if
not absolutely necessary ; and the only objection
that can be urged is, that the treasury of the city is
not overflowing with means to carry out the impulse
of progress. The final vote on the passage of the
Ordinance was unanimous in its favor; those op
posed to it having deserted their posts.
MErnositrr CONFERENCE.—The business of yes
terday was most important. One section of the
" Declaration" reported by the Committee, (which
ieclared that the "Plan of Separation" of 1844 was
null and void) was adopted almost unanimously.
We can hardly understand this, Whether it
amounts to a re-union with .he Church South, or
not, we cannot say.
Ktotto.—An old offender, (who has not been
more than three months out of the Ohio Penitentiary)
attempted to trick a river pilot', on Market street,
yesterday morning, but was' aught and most severe

tion is always evirtue, it would be well to look after
him.
Disevrrtzti.— A. man, whose name We did, not learn,
was drowned in the Allegheny river, yesterday,
about noon. lie fell, from a rift, by some accident,
and could not be rescued. Ati the time of writing,
vigorous efforts were made to find hie body.
Cif Mr. Forrest takes him Benefit this evening,
and when we say that this will be his last appearance
in Pittsburgh, we think it will be enough to induce
all who admire him as an actor and MAN, to attend.
The tragedy of Damon and Pythias will be produced.
Bearrun's flaycurio Mostun will exhibit this
afternoon, certain, and will continue two or three
days next week.

their last Concert this evening. It will bo only ne

sumed. How the fire originated, we did not hear
r - .• APPROACHING COMITY CoNvstrrime.—The places at
which the primary meetings are to be held on Saturday
evening next, in the different Wards of the City, for the
purpose of electing Delegates to the County Convention,
have not been specified.
In the notice of the County Commissioners, they re
quest-the people to assemble at-their "usual places of
meeting?' The Democratic and Whig parties have their
usual separate places of meeting: but for a general meet
ing of the citizens of the various Wards therein no 'usual
. . .
Now, as the object of the approaching County Conven
tion is not connected with the action of any party, it will
be necessary and proper for the citizens generally of
each Ward to be called together at some specific place in
Such Ward, and noticiiought to be given aedardlngly in
the papers of Satunlay morning.

Right and Wrong:

attempted to be taken, which are alike unfair and dishon

When the undersigned commenced to occupy - the Dry
Goods Establishinent of Messrs. Jacob and Bucker, on
Market street, they adopted their sign," A GOlden Bee
hive," and as a distiuctive martc-by which their custom-.
ere might know their establisliniFrit, they have advertised
their store extensively as the " Gold and if
any advantage is derived from their advertisenients, they
claim it es their own, having paid fur it.
They have. therefore seen with some surptitic,difatMr.
