Meisner, for New Orleans papers of the 21st., and an extra of the Delta , printed io Vera Cruz. .The news will be found iuanothei part of our paper, C3We tender our thanks to Ho:r. Elisha Embbee for valuable documents sent us. The News fbom Fhaxce. The news from France, of which we give copious extracts in our columns to-day, will be read with intense interest. For some weeks past the Ministry have been endeavoring to suppress the reform banquets, as theyare called. Threats had passed on the part of M. GuLzot in conversation with M. Odillon Barrot as to the action of the government in reference to the attendance of the opposition deputies at these banquets. A violent quarrel ensued, in which Barrot told Guizotthat "he was worse than Polignac and Feyronnet.and that if he did not take care, their fate would be his." He added that since ihe deputies were singled out for proscription they would now attend these banquets in costume that is, in their official robes. While we admit the attempt on the part of the Ministry to suppress these political meetings of the masses to be the immediate cause of the outbreak, we are aware that for months past the materials for revolution in France have been silently but steadily preparing. Nor have motives been wanting in the tyranny of Louis Philippe, the general profligacy and extravagance of his court, and the wide spread discontent of the masses. But it was not generally expected to break out during the monarch's life lime. Louis Phillippe staked his crown on the issue he made with the people and lost it. Where the revolution is to end no one can at present pretend to say; but it is not likely that having been so far successful in securing to the masses in ell the European States in which it has been attempted, privileges previously enjoyed, they will stop much short of republican form of government. The next news from that quarter will be looked for with great anxiety. Lands fob Emigrants. An excellent op portunity is offered by the Trustees of the Wabash and Krift Canal, fnr pmiorants lahnrincr men and others to secure excellent farms on Tery easy terms. 800,000 acres of land lying near the line of the Canal in Indiana, are offered in tracts containing from forty to one hundred and sixty acres, in part pay for labor, in the neighborhood ot the lands. Such an opi portunity for poor men to obtain farms is rare, and should command attention. C3Gov. Wood, of Texas, has sent a message to the Legislature of that State, in relation to Santa Fe, which country (this side the Rio Grande) Texas claims, and will, he says, never relinquish. His purpose is to have- the Legislature take some action to prevent the inhabitants of Santa Fe from preceeding to organize a government, &c. CC5The telegraph wire has been extended across the Mississippi at St. Louis, and the citizens of Burlington, Iowa, have subscribed the necesaary amount to complete a telegraph line to that place. How comes on the subscription in our good city? . Let the business men see to it. CdT"Tbe State Sentinel has begun the war upon General Taylor, and is followed in full cry by all the lesser locofoco lights throughout the State. They are publishing the letter of the old General in which he proposed to use the blood hounds, not to worry the Indians in Florida, but to trace them out in their hiding places. Well, we'll see what they will make off of it. We knew the time would come when they would be compelled to oppose old Rough and Ready as the Presidential candidate, and we expected them to open the flood gates of filth and abuse upon him. It is their mode of lighting on every occasion. Let them go ahead! The people will lake care of their own. Mr. Clay and the Ladies. The New York papers say that upwards of 9,000 ladies tailed upon Mr. Clay at the Governor's room in that dty, every one of whom he either kissed or shook bj the band. . C3On the 20th inst., the President nomin ated the Attorney General as joint Commis sioner to Mexico with Mr. Sevier, and the Senate has confirmed the nomination. CGf Gen. Quitman and family arrived at Louisville on Wednesday last from the East. Convicted. William Cornelius was tried in our Circuit Court ou yesterday pa a charge of stealing money from Lieut. Sanford, found guilty and sentenced to bard labor in our penitentiary for seven years, to pay a fine of 8150, sad jJisO-anchisement for fifteen years.
Waste Lasus in ; Gibson Cousty. In the House of Representatives on the 13th inst.. Mr, Embbee moved the following: Whereas; The Government of the United States owns a large quantity of land ii. the counties of Gibson ami Posey, in the State of Indiana, lying on the Wabash and White rivers, which is Hat and wet, and subject to overflow, and thereby rendered worthless, and creates
disease in Ihe adj ining country; and whereas said lands have been ottered tor sale more than forty years, and that the same would be of great value were they reclaimed, and the country around them rendered much more healthy; and whereasit is thought practicable to reclaim said lands by draining and leveeing, Therefore be it resolved, that the Committee on Public Lands inquire into the expediency of granting and ceding said counties the portion of said lands lying in each respectively for the purpose aforesaid." Smithsonian Institute. A few days ago our Representative in Congaess from this district, offered the following preamble and resolution, which were read, and the resolution ageed to; Whereas James Smithson, Esq., by his last will and testament, having given the whole of nis property, now amounting to more than $700,000 to the United States, to found an establishment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men, and Congress, to carryout the liberal designs of the donor, having passed anactentitled "An act toeatablish the Smithsonian Institution for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men," approved August 10, 1847; and whereas officers have been appointed under said act, and are proceeding to erecta building, which, with the improvements attached, according to their estimate, is to cost about 250,000; and said officers are about to establish ia said building, with the funds of the institution, a library, to contain 100,000 volumes, a museum on a large scale, a chemical laboratory,, lecture rooms for the purpose of delivering lectures, and a gallery of art; and whereas all of said objects are local in their nature, and confined to the city of Washington and its vicinity, when the design of the litx ral donor was not only the increase of knowledge but the diffusion of it amongst men for the general good; and whereas said act provides "that there is reserved to Congress the right of alter ing or amending, adding to, or repealing any ot the provisionf of thisact:"' Therefore be it Resolved, That the Commute of the Library inquire into the expediency of changing and modifying said act as to establish a department in said institution for the purpose of collecting and arranging information on agriculture, common schooi education, political economy, and the useful arts and sciences; which information, together with the useful lectures that may be delivered in said institution, shall be published and circulated gratuitously among the people, so as to carry out the design of '.he testator in diffusing useful knowledge amongst men, and that said committee report by'bill or otherwise, . - Fulfilment of Prophecy. The correspondence between Gen. Scott, Secretary Marry and Mr. Tnst has been furnished the Senate at its call. 'Independent' gives the public a striking fact from this unpublished correspondence. It is this: The first intelligence received byGen. Scott from Mr. Marcy, alter the battle of Cerro Gordo, was a rebuke for dismissing the prisoners at Vera Cruz. General Scott in answer to thiscornmunieation, says: 'It is something remarkable, that his first letter, after the gallantry and success of the army in the various battles, should be one of censure; and he presumes, from the same train of if asoning, that by the time he enters the capital of the enemy he. will be dismissed from his command," j Gen, Scott lived to see his prophecy f ulfilled,' Evaxsville, March 25th, 18 IS. "Messrs. W. H. Chandler y Co. : I have seen an article in yesterday morning's" "Daily Commercial," enquiring into the condi tion of the : Walker Monument Fund," and intimating that the Coomittee has been negligent of its duties. In answer, I beg leave on behalf of the Committee to say, that, there has come to my hands as collector and treasur er, the sum of $1 04,40, ninety dollars of which wason the 19ih of November last, safe ly loaned at four months on interest, where it still lies.. The remaining $14,40, (since col lected,) is alone in a patent shot bag ia my safe Is that satisfactory? ' . There is in my hands a delinquent subscrip tion list for this Township, of about $40, chief ly available. I will thank the gentlemen by whose autographs that list is honored to call on me and look at it. There is, I believe, a similar, though smaller list in the hands ol each of the Township Com mittees throughout theCounty, wiihthe exception of that of Scott Township, which has settled with me. If there is any unreported cash in the hands of those Committees, lam not aware of it. 1 will thank those Committees to report proThis Committee a little miscalculated the extent of the popular pecuniary enthusiasm on this subject, when it ac opted the one dollar subscription system. . ' There were many who would have subscrib ed a much larger amount if permittted to do so and but for the one dollar limitation, the required amount, say 250 or 8300 would have been readily realized. Notwithstanding the partial failure in raising the required amount thus far, this Committee relyiug on the patriotism and right feeliug of this community, begs leave publicly to say, that the money and the monument must and shall be raised, and that the deeds and death of the gallant old Captain and the brave fellows w ho fell at his side, shall yet be duly commemorated by those who here enjoyed the quiet sweets of home, whilst they at their country's call, were biting the dust on the glorious field of Buena Yista. The Comraitte is still receiving subscrip tions at my officeand most respectfully invites our citizens, and all others so disposed, to throw in their mite. You, Mr. Chandler, have both subscribed and paid. So have not the gentle men of the Daily Commercial, but I am daily expecting that they will do so, and am confi dent of the same act of justice to the memory of the gallant dead from the head or heads of another public Journal hereabouts. The Com mittee bzs noticed with pride the gallan'. and manly bearing of divers, both officers and sol diers of our army i:ov in this city, and would be happy of their aid in doing this small honor to a few of their fallen brethren inarms. Very Truly, JOHN INGLE Jb. For the Committee. (CTIasects are found in slate, and flies in amber.
ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIA.
THE NEWS FROM EUROPE! ; Progress of the Revolution. We give below a detailed statement of the European news, omitting only so much as was condensed under the telegraphic head of our Thursday's issue; , , , . - ' - Paris, Wednesday, 2 o'clock. After I despatched my. letters last evening, events of greater importance occurred than had taken place up to post hour. In several streets running into the Rue St. Denis and the Rue St. Martin, the people erected barricades, by tearing up the paving stones, seizing carts, omuibusses, &c. Most of these bairicades were soon carried by the' municipal guards and troops; but at so me of them severe engagements took place, notwithstanding the people were almost entirely unarmed. The markets, the Place deia Concorde, the. Place du Carrousal, the Bouvelards, the Rue St. Honore, and an immense number of other streets and places were occupied by the troops in fact, the whole of Paris was occupied as if civil war had been every where racing. The troops remained with their arms in their hands all night. As I turned into the Rue St. Denis, the dragoons who were stationed by the Porte, received orders to charge, and l saw them gallop down the street at a rapid rate; with their drawn swords gleaming in the sun. At the same moment detachments of light dragoons and infantry hastened after them. From that it was clear that addi tional assistance was required against the people in that quarter. -. On leaving the Rue St. Denis. I saw a vast multitude approaching, headed by a red flag. From the haste with which they advanced it was plain that they were being pursued by the military.- About an hour ago 1 observed artillery advancing towards t lie Bouvelards, with the object, no doubt, of being directed on the Rue St. Martin and that neighborhood. The Rue St. Honore is occupied with an immense crowd. The garden of the Palais Roval is clos ed. All the passages are also closed and occu pied with troops. You would find it difficult to conceive the mournful attitude, of this gay city at this moment. Shops closed everywhere soldiers everywhere alarm and anxiety among all classes. Not a single omnibus to be seen; not a carriage; not a cart; only a few back cabs. Here and there vehicles overthrown the pavement turned up gas-lamps smashed and the " remains of wanton destruction frequently visible.; Gieat numbers of fresh troops have been marched into Paris this morning, from the towns and garrisons within reach of the cap ital. . In some streets the populace have destroyed the electric telegraph. The national guard, though the rappel was frequently beaten last evening, scarcely turned out at all. In several places, it is said, that scarcely three persons in a whole company an swered the rappel. Hits morning the rappel has been again beaten with a like result. In the districts where the national guards did as semble thev cried "Vive la Reforme!" and sung the Marseillaise. - ; - Three O'Clock. The Guizot ministry has resigned. - A deputation of the officers of the national guard went to the Tuilleries to demand that it should be dismissed, when they were told by General Jacqueminot, command-1 ing the national guard that the ministry had given in Us resignation. The red aspect of the sky in the direction of Mont-Valerein showed that an incendiary fire was. raging there. i Four O'Clock. The intelligence of the re signation of the ministry isspreadinglike wild-1 fire through the city; and is everywhere receiv ed with every demonstration of joy. At this moment there is an immense crowd on the Bouvelard, houting "vjve la reforme.'' A General exclaimed: "You shall have reform. 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. Ihe fighting in the quarter ot at. Martin still continues; the troops are proceeding to it. When, however they shall learn the overthrow of the Ministry, it is believed that, hostilities will immediately cease.' , In passing the bank, just now, I saw the mob had got possession of the guard-house at the corner. Thev had torn down the flag, and a fellow hoisted it on a large, pole. There were then shouts cf "To the Tuilleries! to the Tuil leries!" Fresh troops are being ordered to raris. The regiment of carbineers, in garrison at Provins, are expected momentarily. At Ciichy, the.inhabitants have been told to prepare tor tne re ception of troops. .During last night the barricades or yesterday morning were removed. However, this morning, large numbers of the populace were under arms.and rebuilding the barricades. Thestreets of St. Denis, St. Martin, Rambuteau, St. Sanvier de Gravillers, and all the narrow streets adjoining, have been barricaded, and so well defended, that up to 11 o'clock, the troops had failed in their attempts to take possession of them. ihe municipal guard were repulsed to the Rue Moutorquoil by the firing of , the populace. The garrison of 30,000 troops are all employed to guard the innumerable avenues to the fiace Uerard. iMany oi me regim.nis arc overcome with fatigue. The council oi minis ters and a crowd of Prliamentary dignatanes have taken refuge in. the chateau. fresh troops are expected every moment by . rail way. Half-vast Four. All government officials have been ordered to place themselves under arms as national guards. The troopsof the line have been provided with hatchets to cut down the barricades. Ihe zd, 4th, and oih legions of the national guard have mustered strongly, t - i c . r ..: ..rs snouuug . ive ia reiorme: a uas uulsui. The revolt now appears to be concentrated in the St. Denis, and St. Martin quarters, where a sharp fire is kept up between the insurgents and the municipal guard. It is rumored that the artillery is directed to destroy tne Darncade, and that cannon has been fired in the streets. In the chamber of Deputies to-day: M. Vavin, the deputy of the 11th arrondizement of Paris, rose, and, in the name ot Himself, and the other deputies for Paris, addressed some questions to the minister of the interior, witn respect to tne receni events in raris. M. Guizot, who had shortly before entered the chamber, immediately rose and said : have nothing to say at the pres-nt moment to the questions of the honorable member. The Ring has sent for Couut Mole, who is empowed to form a ministry. ILoud cries of" bravo and cheers followed thisannouncement, which appeared to annoy M. Guizot. 1 He then con tiuued: "We are not to be prevented by such manilestations as those I now hear, as long as we remain in office, which will be till our sue cessors are appointed, from doing our duty. We shall consider ourselves answerable for all that mar haonen. We shall act in everything we do according to our best judgment and our consciences, and according to what we consider the interests of the country." After some interruption created by this announcement: M. Odilon Barrot rose and said: "In consequence of the situation of the Cabinet, I demand the adjournment of the proposition which I made yesterday, (the impeachment,) loud cries of 'yes, yes,' and 'no, no. I will submit to the decision of the Chamber on the point." No, no. M. Dupon then rose and said: "The first thing necessajy" for the capital is peace. It must be relieved from anarchy. Every one knows that the spirit of July exists yet. Homage has been done to the rest of the nation. 1 But the people must know that its delibera
tions must not be on the public way. " The assemblages must cease. I do not see how the Ministry, who are i provisionally charged with the public affairs, can occupy themselves at the same time in re-establishing order and with the care of their own safety. I demand the adjournment of the propositions presented yesterday." Loud cries of 'no. no." t M. Guisot. "As long as the cabinet shall be intrusted with public affairs, it will make the law ' be respected. The cabinet sees no reason why the chamber should suspend its labors. The crown at the present moment is using its prerogative. That prerogative must be respected. As long as the cabinet is upon these benches, no business need remain suspended. - The President then put the question as to the adjournment of M. Odilon's Barrot's proposition. About one hundred members of the opposition supported the adjournment, . the whole of the conservatives were against it. The Chamber immediately rose in great agitation.
Five O'Clock. The puclic joy eucreases at the resignation ot tne Ministry. . At this moment, a detachment of the national guards, followed by a large crowd, are passing through the Bourse, shouting "Vive la reiorme, Half-pant Five O'Clock. As the resignation of the Ministry becomes more and more widely known, the public joy becomes greater. It reaily seems as if no Miuistry were ever so intensely or universally detested. -The shops still continue to be closed. The movement of troops are also continuing. The fighting has ceased in the quarter ol Si. Martin, but great crowds still fill the streets, and the soldiers have difficulty in maintaining order. FURTHER PARTICULARS. ' ANEW CAUSE OF OUTBREAK! THE CRY OF VENGENCE! AN AWFUL NIGHT!!! " Formation of a Hepublicati GovernmentProgress of the Revolution The People and their Press Admonishing their Editors Soldiers Finns on the Citizens The bodies of the Killed Cries for Vengence The Streets Buruicaded Proclamations to the People The Duchess of Orleans in the Chamber of Deputies, (f-c. q-e. We subjourn from the French papers" the following deeply interesting details of the events which we have given under the heads above: At half-past four o'clock it was hoped that the worst was over. About half-past seven, the Boulevard being th?n crowded, there arrived a column of the cambatants, many of them armed-with muskets, and singing the Marseilaise and the chorus of the Girondins which I have so often mentioned. They were received with uproarious felicitations by the people, and proceeded to the office of the National, which seems to be the organ of this formidable opposition. They demanded that the editors see that their liberties were not "again" played with. M. Marrast, principal editor of the National, harangued them from the balcony, and assured them that their liberties would this time be. secured. This scene was repeated six times during the night. At 10 o'clock a column of 600 or 800 people ofall ranks, who had been fighting, passed up the Boulevard. Among them were evidently many of the Communiales, and, possibly, some of those melefactors who will mix in all popular movements. The bearing and attitude of this column was terrible. The subsequent act of one of the party justified the apprehension w hich their appearance suggested. Although M. Guizot had retired from the ministry, the Hotel des Affaires Etrangeres remained occupied aud guarded by troops. About 10 o'clock a young man walked up to the officer in command and blew his brains out witha pistol. Seeing him fall, his soldiers without orders fired on the people, of whom four or five were killed. : The report of this discharge, "at a moment when we flattered ourselves that all was tolerably well over, created a painful sensation. Twenty minutes afterwards, however, a most touching and melancholy procession arrived, and, as far as I could percieve, turned alarm in to rage. . - The buzz of an approaching multitude coming from the Boulevard des Capucines w-as heard, and a low song of death, "Mourir pour la patrie," was chanted by the t'irong instead of the victorious Marseillaise. Mingled with this awful and imposing chorus, the noise of wheels could be heard. A large body of the people slowly advanced. Four in front carried torches. Behind them came an open cart surrounded by torch-bearers. The light wasstrong, and discovered lour r five dead bodies, partly undressed, which appeared to have been care fully ranged in the cart. ' When the head ol the column reached the corner ot the Kue JJepeltener the son was changed to a burst of fury, which will not soon be forgotten by those who heard it. The procession halted at the office of the National, and the whole party burst into a unanimous shriek or cry of vengence! You know how sonorous is that word when pronounced in French. The dead bodies in the cart were those of the men who fell under the fire of the soldiers above mentioned. This event is deplorable. It may possibly chauge the issue of the affair. The night was an awful one. The noise of workmt-n appeared to break on the stillness.Having heard a similar one in 1830,1 guessed what was going on. . Barricades one immensely strong at the end of the Rue Richelieu, were in progress of construction. This has continued up to this moment (half-past 10.) bvery tree on the w hole line of the Boulevard has been failed. Every one of the superb lamp posts has been thrown down, and all converted into barricades. At the corner of every street is a barricade, gentlemen, shopkeepers, clerks, workmen, all laboring at the work with an eagerness and earnestness beyond description. At 12 o'clock, M. Odilon Barrot, accompanied by General Lamoriciere, repaired irom the Chamber of Deputies to the Ministry of the Interior, where he was formally installed, in "presence of the national guard and a multi tude of citizens, wh filled the court. Shortly afterwards, the following proclamation was posted unon the gate, amidst universal acciainations: My Dear Comrades: I have been invested by the new Cabinet with the superior command of the national guards of the department of the Seine. By your energetic attitude you have asserted the triumph of liberty. You have been and will everhe. the defenders of order. 1 rely up on you. as vou may rely upon me. Your comrade, GEN. LAMONIOIERE. ODILION BARROT. At 2 o'clock the following proclamation was posted on the walls ol raris: Citizens of Paris: The King has abdicated The crown, bestowed by the revolution of Ju ly, is now placed on the head ol a child, pro tected by hismoiher. Ihey are both under the safeguard of the honor and courage of the rarasian population. All cause ot division amongst us has ceastd to exist. Orders have been given to the troops of the line to return to their respective quarters, Uur brave army can be better emploved than in shedding its blood in so deplorable a collision. My beloved fellow-citizens! From this moment the maintainance of order is entrusted to the courage and prudence of the people of Paris and its heroic national guard. They hare ever been faithful to our noble country. They will not desert it in this grave emergency. ODILON BARROT. The proclamation produced a temporary calm, but the unfortunate occurrence at the Foreign Affairs last night threatens to change the character of the struggle. Large pools of "blood are still on the asphalt pavement of the
Boulevarde des Capucines and the Rue Basse du Rampart. The people forget that the troops only fired when their colonel was brutally shot. They demand "vengence." On leaving the palace, the kingand his family proceeded to Neutlly, under an escort of ctiirassers. 'After the troops evacuated the Tuilleries, the palace was immediately occupied by the insugents, who destroyed everything in it w indows, furniture, pictures, &c. The The throne alone was left entire; carried in procession through the streets and the Boulevards, and ultimately smashed to pieces. " A similar scene of destruction took place at the Palais Royal. All the furniture was taken out and burnt in the court. ' ; Marshal Bugeaud has been named at once cominanderof the national guards aud of the troops of the. line. : In the Chamber of Deputies, at 1 o'clock, M. Sauzet took the chair, in the presence of about 300 members. Shortly afterwards it was stated that the Duchess of Orleans had arrived at the place with her two sons. The princes soon appeared at the left door, accompanied by the two princes and the Dukes de Nemours and Montpensier. The young Count de Paris first, led by one of the members of the House. He penetrated with difficulty as far as the semi circle, which was crowded with officers and soldiers cf the natioual guard. His presence produced a lively impression on the assembly. Almost immediately afterwards the Duchess entered, and seated herself in an arm chair be tween her two sons. , The hall was then forcibly entered by a multitude of armed men of the lower orders and national guards. The princes and her children then retired to one of the upper benches of the centre, opposite the presidential chair. . The greatest agitation and uproar prevailed, and w hen silence was retsored M. Dupin rose and announced to the assembly that the King had abJicated iu favor of his grandson, aud 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 numberof 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 by deafening cries. When silence was restored, M. Marie said that, in the critical situation in which the capital was
placed, it was urgently necessary to adopt some measures calculated to calm the popula tion, aiuce morning the evil had made im mense progress. Should we-proclaim the Duke de Nemours or the Duchess of Orleans regent. M. Odilon Barrot ascended the tribune, and advocated the rights of the Duchess de Orleans. M. Larochejaqueliu supported the appeal to the people; M. Lamartiue. and Ledru Rolin insisted on the necessity of appointing a provisional government. M. Sauzet here put on his hat and concluded the sitting. The Prin ces retired followed by all the meaibers of the centre, those of the left alone remaining in the hall. The insurgents then called, or rather carried, M. Dupon l de I'Eure to the presidential chair. The tribune and all the seats were occupied by. the people and the national- guard, and the names of the following members of the provisional government were proclaimed amid a scene which has not been witnessed since the convention: M. Gamier Pages, M. Arrago, M. Marie, Ledru Rolin, Lamcrline, Cremieux. . This list was received with cries of "Vive la Republique," and the assembly then adjourned to the Hotel de Ville to instal the Provisional Government. , . Latest Intelligence. The following proclamation has been posted at the Bourse: , Orders have been given to cease firing every where. We have just been charged by the King to form a Ministry. . The Chamber will be dissolved and an appeal be made to the country. Gen. Lamorciere has been appointed com mander ot the national guards. THlJiKS, ODILON BARROT, - DUVERGIER DE HAURANNE, LAMOICIERE.

Feh. 25. 1 he tESCME of the Whole. X he popular cause has triumphed once more rn fans, and against an ar mv of 100,000 men. It has triumphed this time, fortu nately not after three day of carnage and ot struggle but by the,moral attitude ot the population, ihe national guard, the middle class of the citizens, joined with the lower orders in offering resistance, and this sufficed. French soldiers are citizens loo, and however ready to sweep away a lew idle rioters, they were not prepared to treat as foes, and to decimate with grape-shot, the united and tlironging population of the metropolis. The example is a pregnant one, and the lesson such as every monarch and every minister must ponder over. Neither must provoke, for neither can overcome tlw hostility of a million voices, not to speak ot'a million amis. Voices alone have, in the present case, sutiieed to overthrow one of the oldeal and strongest Governments, headed by the shrewdest King, and having at its command a most poweriul army, led by an experienced and determined general, and possessing every means of intiuencing and insuring that army's fidelity, which character, talents, long success, and unbounded resources could bestow. After ali the fortifications and the forts, all the cunning manipulation and 3i;anagement of soldier and of civilian, and of every class in which a shadow of influence might be supposed to remain, with an undoubted majority in Parliament that majority, to be sure, composed of functionaries but still a majority all this canning edifhe; withits complicated scaffolding, has been swept away; end Louis fhiiltppe appears at the decline of life, in the humiliating position of submitting to the liberals, whom he insulted, and of actually capitulating to the mob. M. Guizot, too, has disappeared in this whirlwind ol his own raising; and he departs with the poignant reflection that he has liv;-d to deny o,
undo every aim, to strengthen and attain which was tba object of his political career. - To found the new monarchy and surround it with conservative buttreses4 such as might defy the popular cry, was as anxious and assiduously his study, as it was that ol his royal master to erect forts and circurnvailations tor the same purpose. M. Guizot has lived to see his scheme broken through, showing it to be as lragtle as a spider's web. The prohibition of a dinner has been the mighty event on which ministerial conservatism has been shipwrecked. And the result utterly disproves M. Guizot's favorite maxim. That unpopularity was the true element ot greatness, and the necessary concomitant of ministerial power. , - From the London Telegraph Feb. 26. The greatest revolution of our time, the overthrow of the whote system of Government, founded on coercion, has been more completely and suddenly accomplished than we ventured to hope The reign of Louis Phillippe has come to adeserved and shameful end. Democracy, which is the true character of the French nation, the whole soil being divided into small properties, prevails in the State. The attempt to establish a buseaucracy, headed by a monarch, has failed in the hands of the most renowned politician ol the age, attended by every advantage. The triumph is not over anian, but over a great untruth. The flig of repub!icanim fioatsonce more over 1-rance the Jlug ofe u(d right and hmiurable freedom. A provisional Government has been established; let us hope and pray that it may act moderately, wisely, forbearinglv. The system aboli.died is one which this geneaation bas at least jermitted; and there cannot be now any; vengeance to take on individuals or classes. The right has been for a truth and a realty, not for place and personal dominion., , , We say, em phaticaliy, that the false and the unreal have been put down. We wait with hope for the installation oi their proper successors. ' For the Evansville Journal, . TELEGRAPH MEETING. Pursuant to a call by the committee, appointed at a previous meeting, to correspond with Mr. Henry O'Reilly in regard to a Telegraph to this place, a public meeting of the citizens was held at the Court house on Thursday evening, 23d inst. ' : "! ' --'-r-:... On motion of John Ingle Jr., Judge Lockhart was appointed Chairman. On motion of Wm. Whittlesey, P. G. O'Riley was appointed Secretary. ; " ." iMr. John Ingle Jr., briefly stated the object of the meeting, which was to confer with Mr.
H. O'Reilly, (who was accidently in this city,) in regard to the practicability of a branch of the Telegraph to this point. ". Mr. Ingle then in troduced Mr. H. O'Reilly, who addressed the meeting at some length. He regretted very much his not being aware of any steps being taken by the citizens of Evansville iu regard to the Telegraph, not having received the letter of the committee. He spoke in full detail of the rapid progress and advantages of the Magnetic Telegraph. ' He recommended that the line from this city be connected with the line at Vincennes, and thought there would be no difficulty in being incorporated with the Ohio and Mississippi Telegraph Company, which Company had just received a liberal charter from the Legislature of this State. Mr. O'Reilly gave several very interesting statistics in regard to the Telegraph, itsextent, &c. There is in operation and will be finished by the 1st July next, about 4000 miles of direct routes besides several smaller lines in course of construction, aud several more in contemplation.andthat this branch would, from is central location, derive greatadvan tages both from the immediate neighborhood, Steam Boats and the travelling community; he also stated that the increase of business has- been so great, as to have more than doubled since January last, and far ahead of any calculation made upon it. In regard to the question so after asked, "will it pay?" he stated that the profits had fully equalled the utmost anticipation of the most sanguine, and the business on the different lines is rapidly increasing. Mr. O'Reilly referred to several gentlemen present for further information. Captain Da vis, of Alton, III., was then introduced. He said he was a Director in the O. and M. T. Co., and he would be glad to have a line extended to this place, and would use his influence to have it incorporated with the main line. Capt. D stated the vast advantages that would consequently accrue to the citizens of Evansville by the facilities afforded by the Telegraph, he also dwelt on the location and importance of this point for a station of the M. T. He thought the transient business alone from boats, and business men travelling ou boats, would pay all expenses, and thut the citizens of this place would not only find it a profitable investment but of great convenience and advantages, as well as to the prosperity of the place. Mr. Sanford J. Smith, of St. Louis, another of the directors of the O. and M. T. Co., was then introduced. Mr. S. said that there would be no objection to this line being annexed to the main line from Louisville to Alton, via Vincennes, provided the citizens of this place would guarrantee this line to be no expense to the general line.- Hespoke of the great advan tage this place would have over other points from Telegraph ing, its central location, &c, from the travelling community independently of the business of the place, w hich would fur nish additional business to the line, he also showed the advantages it would be to this place, even if it paid nothing on the stock, as it so greatly enhanced the business facilities of Produce' dealers and Merchants. Mr. John Ingle Jr. theii addressed the meet ing showing the advantages to our city of being in instant communication with all and ev ery large and important place in the country, East, West, North or South, and also bringing one once obscure town into notice, and ele vate her to her proper position. He stated that the cost of the line to Vincennes would be from 88000 to $9000, but Mr. O'Reilly informed him that if we would subscribe S6000, that the bal ance of the stock would be taken elsewhere. At the request of the Chairman, Mr. Henry O'Riley recapitulated some of hisrprevious statements, asseveral citizens had come in. Mr. O'Reillystated that the line could be constructed in about 40 days after stock beiii" taken. Mr. O'Reilly and his friends being anxious to get on the first boat, they begged leave to retire, thanking the citizens for their kind attention. , On motion a committee was appointed to procure subscriptions, and also to correspond, which consists of John Ingle Jr., E. A. Corbel and M. W. Foster, with power to fill vacajcie3 should any occur. On motion the meeting adjourned. JAMES LOCKHART. Chairman. P. G. O'Riley, Secretary. . . ,.

We find.. in the New York papers vague rumors of the resignation of Lord John Russell, and there is no doubt it is correct, as our correspondent states it to be a fact. As to the arrival of Louis Phillippe inEnglaad,- we find that the Liverpool Mail of .the ,26th ull., has a telegraphic despatch announcing that he had landed at Folkstone." We also find in a new paper, called the Loftdon Telegraph, the following under its telegraphic news: - ; - ! - t---Friday night, 10 o'clock. Various rumors were in circulation that Louis Phillippe had arrived at Mivart's Hotel, but to this hour no intimation of the ex-King's arrival has been received. ' .'

Great sensation is now prevailing here, on account of the expected arrival or Louis Phillippe about midnight. . , . ,. - . s.t " 4 IRELAND. 1 1 The Lord Lieutenant has presented 1,000 to the Belfast Flax Improvement Society; A dreadful fire took place in Killarney, by which six individuals lost their lives. The extensive pawn-broking establishment 'of Mr. Darberry, which contained the deposits of the poor from all parts of Kerry, to the amount of several thousand pounds sterling, was the seen of this dreadful catastrophe. Two persons in their endeavors to escape, were killed, and four children perished in the flames. ' '; ' It is satisfactory to find that crime.since the close of the special commission, has .. declined generally. Destitution is, however, fearfully on the increase, particularly in Connought and Minister. The accounts from most parts of the' count-1 ry concur in stating that the cultivation of the' potato crop is more general this year than for the last three years. There is also a decided improvement in the whole system of farming, ' and rotations are being benefi ially used. There are still large supplies of-potatoes in the country markets. - - - , - . - ROME. , ' The Pope has secularizi d his ministry, by the admission of four laymen.

Denis, and other strong detachments occupied the vicinity of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Some firing took place between the soldiers and the people at the barricade, at the entrance of the Faubourg Montmartre. . . . , , . From 7 to 10 o'clock the people continued to erect barricades in different streets, and iu some places there was firing. At about 10 o'clock the troops were all under arms as hitherto opposite the Hotel of the Ministry for Foieign Affairs. A large body of cavalry was drawn up in the middle of the street, and a dense mass of infantry was drawn around the whole of the hotel. . Drums were heard, and a body of infantry advancing. ' As ' they approached, it was perceived that they were preceded by a body of the people, all armed in different ways, and bearing the tricolored flag. , .; . The people and this body of soldiers advanced towards the soldiers on guard,' and, after some explanations, accompanied by shaking of hands and crossing of swords, in the military style of salutations, all the soldiers, en masse, sheathed their bayonets, the officers sheathed their swords, and quitted the hotel, leaving the people to act as they pleased. All the people did was to cheer vehemently, while a young man mounted up over the gate and took down amid loud cheers, the flas which was waiving jver it. Shortly after this, a body of National Guards came from the Rue des , Capuchines, amidst loud cheering, and took their station opposite the hotel, as the cavalry retired tow-nnl-slhe Ma rial inn lf,.nr.,,.U. tV. , 'u: along the Bouvelards took off their bayonets from the muskets, , which they then reversedappearing much to enjoy the , scene.
