ANT FROM EUROPE.
REVOLUTION IN FRANCE!
ABDICATION OF LOUIS PRILLIPPE!
The inemarthy Renounced, and
a Relaxant Declared
The steamship Cambria, Capt. Harri
son, arrived at New York on Saturday
morning, bringing fourteen days later ad
vie* th.oucEurope, her dates being to the
ilSth February, inclusive.
The intelligence by the Cambia teems
uriih iehweat and importance, and foremost
itfi lihietthipect stands that from the capitall
JeLlgentetes where the "three days" of 1830
hare been repeated. We cannot say that
WV are surprised at this ; in fart it had
(teen looked for in connexion with the ill
advised conduct ofohe King and M. Guizot
'relaPtie to the reform banquets and meet-
KO of the people. Madness seems to
hive possessed them, just as it did Charles
X. and Prince Polignac.
• The ihiverpool dates are of the 28th of
`Pehrievry. The immediate cause of the
reestAntion -in • France was the attempt of
the Aovernment, forcibly to put down the
fieftifin Banquet S—in other words, to sup.
press free discussion—to gag the tongues
orthe people. The act'*as one of utter
tejadsie s s.— s Ivy counterpart of the weak'
Ind wicked policy of Charles the Tenth,
*therine his overthrow. But the storm
*ad been gathering for some lime. Our
Mader* must have anticipated something
of the kind. It was thought, however,
that the outbreak wmild have been delayed
_ till the drath of Louis Phillippe. And it
. Would bare been, but for the rash and ex
traordinary efforts to check, control, and
suppress the Reform Banquets—efforts
that were truly suicidal under the Mecum
;einem on the part of the Guizot Ministry,
and in singular endtrast with the general
tact and policy of Louis Phillippe.
It teems that on Saturday the 12th
when. (npon the discussion of the amend.i
mentlu the Address, proposed by N. Sal-1
• landroure, ii, favor of Parliamentary Re
form,) M. Guizot came forward, and in
the name of the Cabinet, declared that,
looking at the actual state of France and of
FtirOpe, it would be most imprudent to
`entertain the question at present, and pre-1
dieted that it must inevitably lead to a dis.l
solution of the Chamber; when, after such j
a . debate, he refused to enter into any en
gagement as to the future, but declared
thatist soon as he had induced the various
portions of the conservative party to come

Creased. On that day, a Reform Banquet,
us' it was called,—was to he held ; a re
=fore of the friends of Reform,—and at
Whieh, - from the excited state of popular
feeling and from past experience, it was
•anticipated that trouble might arise. Or

herder - Bugeautl, and to disperse all assem

imperturbable coolness to the very last ;
.X coolness, almost cynical and defiant.—
Against the hot assaults of Odillon Barret
and others, he did but interpose the simple
tetnarlit that his administration would do
their:duty, and while occupying their
StUOps, 'would never swerve from their
hey.•
The popular excitement continued to
increase until Tuesday 22d of February,
the day on which the proposed banquet
was to be held, when the city of Paris was
in a state of insurrection. The (-wirers:l-
-
,tion which took place in the Chamber of
*pfdies 'on Monday evening, between
Parrot and Ducbatel, prepared the people
for the formal prohibition of the reform 1
h:iquet which was to take place en the
riallevring day. Proclamations by the pre
feetiffrilice, and an order of the day by the
commander of the National Guards, were
ptibli4hed. forbidding the banquet, and all
assemblages of people, and prohibiting the
appeirance of National Guards in uniform,
Unless ordered by their chiefs. In cense
. .
alentitce Of these acts of Government, the
Opposition deputies met, and resolved that
the banquet should not take place, that the
be entreated to submit, and that a

W t the.. operations the geed
temper, forbearance, discipline and intelli
gence of the troops of every class were
especially remarkable. It is right to state
that the, same good dispositions were ob
servable generally on the part of the peo
ple, who were seen shaking hands with
the cavalry commanded to disperse them,
and saluting the infantry regiments with
• , Vive la ligne
Each company of infantry carried, be
sides their usual arms, a collection of im
plements for cutting down barricades, such
as hatchets, pickaxes, adzes, These
were tied upon the knapsack, each soldier
carrying one.
PrevioUS, however, to the assemblage of
these vast masses on the Boulevards and
the place de Ia Madeleine, as early as half,
past 10 the populace had collected round:
the front of the Chamber of Deputies, on
the river side, to the amount of 5000 or
0000, and escaladed the rails and walls of
the garden. Some succeeded in gaining
the interior, and rushed into the reserved
parts of the gallery.
The troops soon came up and succeed
ed in dispersing the populace, and made
the arrangements for guarding the chamber
which have been above described. The
crowd retired quietly before the troops,
singing the “Marsellaise," and crying
"Vive la Reform ! a bas Guizot! l'llomme
de Gantt !" and before noon all the avenues
leading to the Chamber of Deputies were
occupied by large bodies of troops of every
arm. On the place opposite the Plant de I
Ia Concorde several regiments - of cavalry i
were drawn up, and the Place de Ia Con
corde was similarly lined. In all the main'
streets leading from the Chambers regi
ments of infantry were stationed. The !
road leading from the Chamber to the In
valides was occupied by a strong force of
artillery and cavalry. In fine, the whole
aspect of that quarter of Paris was that of
a city in a state ofitge.
No access was a wed to the part of!
the city thus enclosed by the troops except
to persona having immediate business
there, or to those who were previously
provided with tickets. The space thus en
closed had the aspect of complete solitude.,
while thousands swarmed in its immediate
environs.
•
Between 2 and 3 o'clock, a mob, com
posed of the lowest rabble, ran through the
Champs Elveecs and broke all the gas
lamps in the main avenue and branch roads,
almost under the es-es of the troops.
While this was the state of things around
the Chamber at 12 o'clock, the Boulevards
Rations and the Rue Lepelletire were fil
led with a deputation of students, who ar
rived at the office of the National with a
copy of a petition they had addressed to
the Chasidirr for the impeachment of min
isters. The crowd which followed them
proceeded afterward to the Place de la
Concorde, where they formed a dense
mass, and commenced singing the "Mar
sellaise" and "Mourir pour la Patrie.'"—
The municipal guards of the post at the
corner near the 'Turkish Embassy sallied
out and attempted to disperse the crowd
before them, but, instead of succeeding.
were obliged to retreat into their fortified
guard house to avoid being disarmed.--
The soldiers had scarcely secured them
selves within, when the people ran off in
their ttirn, fearing that they would be fired
upon.
About the sante time the Hotel des At:
faires Etrangeres W 33 attacked by the pop
ulace, the windows broken, and an attempt
made to force the gate, and accompanied
with shouts of •"A bas Guizot," "La tete
de Guizot." The armed force arrived, tho
rabble was repulsed. and the court of the
hotel filled with soldiers.
At the meeting of the Chambers at 1 o'-
cluck, the greatest gloom prevailed. _Few
deputies were in attendance; and the ben•
ches of the Opposition were completely
vacated. M. Guizot arrived at an early
hour, and was shortly afterward followed
by the Minister of Finance, Public Instruc•
tine, and Commerce. Marshal Bugeaud,
who had excepted the military command
of Paris, took his seat close to the Minis-
terial bench.
At 3 o'clock, 31 . 0.1i110n Barrot entered
the hall, accompanied by Messrs. Duvet--
gier de Dauranne, Maire, Thiers, Gamier,
Pages, &c. Their appearance produced
some sensation. Shortly afterwards 31.
de Ilauranne went up to president and
handed him a paper. which was immedi
ately communicated to M. Guizot. M.
M. Duphin, hamartine, Billanh, Cremieux
and.the Minister of the Interior and Jus
tice next made their appearance, but the
discussion on the hank bill continued until
five o'clock, and no incident 01 interest oc•
cured.
When the discussion terminated, M.O
- Bairot ascended the tribune, and
deposited on the table a formal act of int-
peaelimeni against Ministers. signed by
the deputies of the Opposition to the num
ber of 53.
The exciteinent continued to increase
from this time. The Government soon
discovered that the fury of the people
could not he successfully resisted. In
some districts the populace were singing
the Marseillaise, and cries of "Alourir pour
Is patria ; Vive la Reforme ; a 25 francs
la tete Guizot ;" and other terrible de
nunciations, were uttered on all sides.
Some lives had been lost ; and the popu
lace, in one or two instances, had beeu
attempting to throw down omnibuses and
erect barricades, but not with much suc
cess.
The resignation of the C4nizot Ministry
was then announced, and although receiv
ed with shouts of aplause it did not satis
fy.
The abdicationofLous Philippe in favor
of the young count of Paris followed, but
that was said to be ""too late." Theexcite
merit was up—a Republic was called for
and a Provisional Government was con
stucted. The following sketch of a scene
in the Chamber of Deputies tells a fearful
story :
In the Chamber of Deputies, at one o'-
clock, M. Sauzet took the chair in pres
ence of about 300 members. Shortly af
terwards it was stated that the Duchess of
Orleans had arrived at the palace with bet
two bons. The Princess soon appeared
at the left door. accompanied by the two
princes and the Dukes de Nemours and
Montpensier.
The young Count de Paris enterred first,
led by one of the House. lie penetrated
with difficulty as far as the semi -circle,
which was crowded with officers and sol
diers of the National Guards. His pres
ence produced a lively impression on the
assembly. Almost immediately afterward
the duchess entered and seated herself in
en grin dial: between her two sons.
The hall was then forcible entered by a
multitude of armed men of the lower or
ders and National Guard. The Duchess
and her children retired to one of the up
per 'menthes of the centre, opposite the
presiding's] chair..
The greatest agitation and uproar pre-
vai c 4 , and when silence was restored, M.
Dupin announced to the assembly, that
the King had abdicated in favor of his grand
! son, and conferred the regency on the
Duchess of Orleans. A voice from the
public gallery—"it is too late•"
An indescribable scene of tumult ensued.
A number of deputies collected round the
Duchess and her children, and the Dukes
;of Nemours and Montpensier. National
! Guards also rallied round the royal family.
M. Marie then ascended the tribune--
his voice was drowned with deafening
cries. When silence was restored, M.
Marie said that in the critical situation in
; which the capitol WAS placed, it was
urgently necessary to adopt some jneasures
calculated to calm the population. gince
morning the evil had made immense pro
gress. Shall we proclaim the Duke de
Nemours or the Duchess of Orleans re
gent?
M. Cremieux, who followed, was of o
pinion to uphold the new Government.
M. Genoude thought that an appeal
ought to he addressed to the people. M.
Odilon Barrot next ascended the tribune.
and advocated the rights of the Duchess d'
Orleans. M. Larochejaquelin supported
the appeal to the people. M. Larmatine
and M. Ledru Rolin insisted on the neces
sity of appointing a provisional govern
ment. M. Sauzet here puton his hat, and
concluded the sitting. The princes re
tired, followed by all the members of the
centre, those of the left alone remaining in
the hall. The insurgents then called, or
rather carried, M. Dupont d'Eure to the
' presidential chair. The tribune and all
the seats were occupied by the people and
National Guards, and the names of the RA-
towing members of the provisional gov
ernment were proclaimed, M. Gamier
Pages, M. Arago, M. Marie. N. Ledna
Rohn, M. Larmatine, and M. Cremiex.
This list was received with cries of dive
la Rcpulique, and the Assembly adjourned
to the Hotel de Ville to install the provis
ional government.
The latest dates from Paris were to the
25th of February, Louis Phillip and the
Royal family had fled 'from the icePitat
and, it was said, intended going to England.
Indeed, there were rumors in Londbn that
he had actually landed on the English
coast.
The Provisional Government had gone
to work, re-Organising the Armr - ved thb
Government. the populace loudly demand
ing the establishment of a Republic. •
The regal throne had been dragged into
the street, broken to pieces, and burned;
and the ex-chamber of Peers interdicted to
to meet. The Provisional Government
had issued a proelation requesting the peo
ple to remain under Irma, to guard against
any adverse contingency.
Louis Napoleon Bonaparte had set out
from London to Paris, immediately upon
hearing of the disturbances. Every thing
was excitement in England, and the great-
eat anxiety manifested 44). obtain further I I
and more definite intelligence from Paris.
The following extracts from the Pro
clamation of the Provisional Government
to the Fnmeh People, will serve to exhibit
the feeling which' pervaded the leaders of
the Revolniionista
"•A retrograde and oligarchical govern
ment his been overthrown by the heroism
of the people of Paris.
The government has fled, leaving after
it a trace of blood, which precludes forever
its return.
The blood of the people has flowed as
in July; but this 'time the generous blood
shall not be deceived. It has achieved a
national and popular government, in ac
cordance with the rights, the progress, and
the will of this great and generous people.
The provisional government, sprung by
acclamation and urgency from the voice
of the people, and the deputies of the de.
partments in the sitting of the 24th, is in
vested nitnhentarily with the mire of the
organizing and ensuring the national vic
tory.
It is composed of—M. Dupont, (de
Mu re ;) Limas tine; Chemises; Atop,
(of the Institute.;) Ledrn Rutin ; Gamier
Pages ; Marie:
The Government has for Secretaries—
M. Armand Marrat; Louis Blanc;
nand Flocon.
These citizens have not hesitated one in
stant in accepting the patriotic mission im
posed upon them by urgency.
When blood flows, when the capital of
France is on fire, the commission of the
provisional government is derived from
the public peril and the public safety,
The whole of France will understand it,
and will afford it the concurrence of patri
otism. Under the popular goi , ernment
proclaimed by the provisional government
every citizen is a magistrate.
Frenchmen, give the world the example
that Paris has given to France; prepare
yourselves, by order and by conitdence in
yourselves, for the powerful institutions
which you are to be called upon to give-to
yourselves.
The provisional government wills for a
republic, saving the ratifications of the
the French people, which is to be imme
diately consulted.
Neither the pecMle of Paris nor the pro-
visional government, pretend to substitute
their opinion for the opinion' of the citi
zents on the definitive form of the govern
ment, which the sovereigitty of the nation
will proclaim.
The unity of the nation formed hence
forth, of all the classes of the nation which
compose it;
The government of the nation by itself;
Liberty,-equality, and fraternity for prin
ciples;
The people for motto and mot d,ordre.
Such is -them democratic - government
which France owes to herself, and from
which our efforts should be insured.
It is expressly recommended to the pop
ple not to quit their arms, their positions,
or, their revolutionary attitude. They
have often been deceived by treason ; it is
important that they should not give oppor
tunities to attacks as criminal as they are
forcible."
FOREIGN SUMMARI
ENGLAND.—The revolution is not con
fined to France. It is clear that Lord John
Russell's Ministry is on the point of being
driven from power. France changes from
a monarchy to a republic, butin England
there will be only a change of Ministry.—
The present Ministry are evidently doom
ed, an 4 betray all the vacillations of lost
men. Defeated in the Lords on the Di
plomatic Relations,— defeated in the Com
mons on the appropriations,—opposed on
the budget,—and obliged to make one ex
planation after another,—having recourse
to a secret Committee for the estimatcs,
and then giving that up as impracticable,
their reign seems to be but of short dura
tion.
A bill has passed the House of Lords au
thorising diplomatic relations with Rome.
It was decided, on motion of the Duke of
Wellington, that the Pope should be stiled
Sovereign of the Roman States, and not
Sovereign Pontiff. Also that the repre
sentative deputed to this country should
not be an ecclesiastic.
. .
In the House of Commons the bill for
the removal of the Jewish disabilities has
passed by a majority of 73. It has yet to
encounter the bigotry of the Lords.
The King of Sardina has voluntarily
published a constitution for his subjects,
on the basis of the French charter. It es
tablishes two legislative chamhers, one e
lective, the other to he nominated by the
King for life. All laws imposing taxes
are to originate in the elective Chamber,
and each article, indeed, of the constitution
seems fair and liberal, with the exception
of one which appears Irish and equivocal
—namely, "The press will be free—but
subject to repressive laws."
The Grand Duke of Tuscany has for
lowed the example of the King of Sardine
—despite an injunction from Austria for-I
bidding him as an Archduke of that coun
ry to take any such step.
The Neapolitans have had three days!
of rejoicing fur their constitution. Del'
Carretto, the obnoxious minister of pot-.
ice, who was obliged to fly from the fury
of the people, had escaped to Marseilles,
where in the present temper of France he
is hardly likely to And a very cordial wel
come.
In Switzerland all is quiet. Russia,
however, has intimated to the Diet
_that
she considers the last events in-thiteienis
iry to be a violation of cantonal sovereign-
ty, and that consequently she does notleel
bound to defend the neutrality of the coun
try against "measures which any of - the
neighboring stairs nfight think proper to
adopt in its own interest." This is a
step in conformityy with the policy of Aus-
Iris. France anti Prussia.
From China we hays details which you
will read with herrup—the mutilation and
murder of site English residents at Canton.
This will doubtless now be made a ground
for cumin/rail that we may require.

Times.--Nover, it is

so wild !Ind frantic vigil" excitement as
they were ott Saturday, on the receipt of
the intellegence by the Cambria, of the
popular revolution in France. A letter
Ilium describes it :
The French people here werepositive
ly beside themselves. They knew not
how to express their gratification at the
realisation of their brightest hopes. They
.7 - common instinct abandoned their places
of business and 'flocked . to the French
cafes, to talk over itematter and exchange
congratulations. 'The tri-colored flag was
immediately hoisted on every French ho
tat aid public house in the city. Atu:ptms
welkupule, to get up tneetipips in different
Places, but the parties were too much ex
cited for any deliberate 'action, and the i
des was abandoned, to be carried into ef-
feet next week.
The,lrish , too were in a ferment, and
two or three hours after the arrival of the
steaniihip the mintier; of the Irish Con
federation, without any previous concert
or arnufgement, found themselves assem
bled in liege numbers at their usual place
of meeting, Shakepeare Hotel. A (brutal
meeting of the body was proposed, officers
were appointed, and some very excited
speeches were delivered, in which it was
asserted that Ireland's time of liberation
had at length arrived, and that she must
immediately, take advantage of England's
circumstances and free herself. Subcrip
tions to the amount prone hundred thous
and dollars were proposed, the money to
be sent as soon as eolected, to the Confed
eration in Dublin, to be expended in the
purchase of arms and amunitiOn.
A great mass meeting of all the friends
of Ireland is called for Tuesday evening.
Our own American citixehs, too, were ex
cited. In fact, the city resembled a boil
ing cauldron. Many a joke was cracked.
and many a laugh enjoyed at the expense
of the ex-Ring of France. In the bar
room of one our principal hotels I saw a
neat placard, of some two feet in breadth
and_w_idtl4.svith this inicription:
TRSICCIf !lIPUBLIC.
Democratic Whig Noininslion :or President
George. Washington Lafayette,
Subject to thi decision of Go
:salmons& tonviisTrost.
This placard was encircled with gauze
'ribbons, white, bite and red, and surmount
ed-by-miniature -Preach and American
flap, connected together. It was very
significant, and inflicted a good deal of
attention. The anxiety to hear further
intelligence from Pins is intense. Many
are undecided whelber the revolntiou is
complete and general aver Franee, but the
French people insist thit it is, and that the
rule of monarchy is Over forever id — their
native country.
The "Union" is yin, indignant that
Congress does nothing but talk. It pa
thetically exclaims : .
»The friends of -the Administration in
the Senate have been harassed by bitter
and unrelenting attacks." Poor unoffen
ding gentlemen, how much are ye to be
commiserated! Centrism) relentless Whiga,
how could ye be so naughty as to say any
thing against this mostorirtuous Adminis
tration! Why not promptly grant every
thing that is asked, approve every thing
that it done, and confide implicitly in the
patriotic and moderate designs of Mr. Polk
for the future I Know ye not that the i 4
dea of the Senate being a deliberate body
is obsolete; that Progressive Democracy
holds it but as an incovenient machinery,
necessary to give the form of laws to the
decrees of the President? Investigation
into the conduct or designs of the Execu-
tive is resented as moral treason ! The
whole scope and spirit of the doctrines ad
vocated by the Official Journal tend to show
the uselessness ofeither House of Congress,
and to inculcate the expediency of a Die
tatorship. If both Houses of Congress
acted upon the doctrines of passive obedi
inculcated by the Court Journal the PRES

ercise ovei the destinies of Europe. The popular
discontent, developed by the- successive - arbitrary
and 'despotic measures of the crown during the
past few years, it seems, reseirysta new and pow+
impulse by an attempt on the part of the
Government to suppress the political festivals in
foyer of Reform, known as "Reform Banquets."
And on the 22d ult.—the day signed for one of
these festivals—the popular feeling was &and to
be so deeply embued with hostility to the Ministry,
that Louts Putiterx, perceiving the approaching
crisis, attempted to calm the troubled waves by
conteaslon. It was too late, however. The re
rignation of the Guizot Ministry—the abdication
of the Ring—the rejection ot the heir apparent to
the throne-the establishment of a Provisional
Government—and the proclamation of a Republic
—followed in rapid succession.
Odillon Barret—the orator and leader of the
Reform party—with Thies, and others, hitherto
the recognized leaders of the opposition—bad al
ready been discarded by the Revolutionists, as too
conservative, and the directions of affairs commit
ted to- mote radicalliands, foremost among whom
stands Lamertlne, Mug% Marie, Relict and Car
not.• The Provisional Government had already
declared for a Republic and an extinction of the
Orders. Whether they will have the ability and
the means to =stain themselves, remain■ to be
seen. In the meantime, (Luther intelligence will
awaited with the deepest anxiety.

MILITIA TRAININGB.--I'he Bill to abolish
the system of militia training' pummel the Sen
ate on Saturday. Instead of requiring each indi•
vidual liable to military duty, to Praoticis the art
and mystery of managing a broomstick, during
some period in the month of May of each year, It
imposes upon him a tax of twenty-five contain lieu
of the aforesaid absurdity. The Wince. of the
fond thus arising, after the payment of all neces
sary militia expanses, is to be applied to the en
conrageetent of the 'event volunteer corps of the

Mexico to make another trial at arms.

Dear Sir—l suppose you thought I was dead,
au I did not write to you for so long ; but I believe
Fist not dead yet. I'm away down here in Mexi
co, and a man here sees so much sickness and
death, that he hardly knows whether ho is olive or
dead himself. But to get at what I was gent to
write to you.
Shortly after I wrote my last letter, the Presi
dent sem for me, and sea he,'.Major Crocket, I
want you to go down to exico again fur me,
With Wins delpittelial to Mr. 'foist, and order
him not to treat with Mexico unless ho gits all of
Mexiootopther with the whole population, Span
ish, risads, Indians, Negroes, and all the People
that inhabit it; and then be sure not to treat with
thole unless they promise to support the whole
Demotattia ticket for President; for," see he, .1
find that it will take all the vn i ks in Mexico to beat

"Well," aux 'President. I ree your plan for
raisin' soldiers is a good one, but is it exgray right
and fair that you should oppre,s the people that
raised you to power! Would It not be better for
you to by and 'vise men some other way than by

led off by the climate and the swim', jut u if they
had uo feelin' or souls."
The President then mid, "1 soe, Major, that

then tell the world that the army is'composed of
Distroerals, and that will sound better than it does
now; for you know that the majority now are
Federalists or Mexican Whigs."
I then left the Piesideut, and started for Mexico,
and arrived here safely. I forgot to tell you that
the President: sent his hest 'respects to S'Ullia Anna,
if I should see him. I have enclosed a small de
