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 Government.

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.

" 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.

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 ly kicked. lie may be still about town, and as cau 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. Tar Larr.—The Steyermarkische Company give their last Concert this evening. It will bo only ne cessary to remind our readers of the fact. Ftaz.—Lnst evening, about 11 o'clock, the steam er Bras.

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. :RAIL ROAD.
