The Frcneli Revolution. We give further accounts to-day, by the.trrival of the Caledonia, of the revolution in France. It teems to lie complete, and that republicanism i* established in the land of Lafayette. The cause of the people has triumphed against a hundred thousand bayonet*—not by carnage and desperate struggling, but by the moral power of the masse#. This is a momentous movement in Europe—the influence* of which cannot be foretold. Kins* and Queens will sit uneasy on their throne*, for thry cannot tell at what moment they may be brushed from under tbem like the meshes of a cobweb. Our sympa thiee are with the French people, for we want all mankind to enjoy the best and happiest form of government. We want the popular voice to lie ihe law of the land everywhere. The Genius of Liberty, first nurtured in American soil, now hover* over the throne* of the old world, and pray haired desjmt* must look well lo the times—they mutt go with the revolution in favor of frreprin ciples, or they may le crushed by the ponderous car. Europe wants renovation, and we shall le happy that the people should take their own affairs peaceably into their own hands.

To the Hon. R. W. Thompson. the Represen tative of our district, we owe nnthine. He ha* not favored us with any thine whi:st. on the other hand, he i* pretty busilv engaged in franking electioneering *p?«*rhe« of his own nnd other .U'X/cin sympathiser*, to the Quaker-Abolitionists of this connty.— Rockvitle Sentinel.

of the Provisional Govern-

ment lo the French People..'

A retrograde and oligarchical government has been overthrown by the heroism of the people of Paris.

The government has fled, leaving after it a tracempl 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 accordance with the rights, the progress, and the will of this great aud generous people.

The provisional government, sprung by acclamation and urgency from the voice of the people, and the deputies of the departmeiris in the sitting of the 24lh, is invested triomentarilv with the care .of the organizing and ensuring the national victory.

It is composed of—M. Dtippn, (de I'Eure Lamartine Chemieux Arago (of the Institute Ledru Rolin Gamier Pages Marie.

The government has for Secretaries—M. Armand Marras Louis Blanc Ferdinand Flo^ou.

These citizens have not hesitated one instant in acc- pting the patriotic mission imposed 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 il, aud will afford it the concurrence of patriotism. Under ihe popular gov^nment proclaimed by the provisional government, every citi» Zen is a magistrate.

Frenchmen, give the world the example that Paris has given to France—prepare yourselves, by order and bv confidence in yourselves, lor 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 French people, which is to be immediately consulted.

Neither the people of Paris nor the Provisional Government, pretends lo substitute their opinion for the opinion of the citizens oil the definite form of ihe Government, which the sovereignty of the nation will proclaim.

The unity of the nation formed henceforth of all the classes of the nation which compose it.

The government of the hation by itself Liberty, equality and fraternity of piincipies.

The people for motto and mot d'ordre. Such is the democratic government which France owes herself, and from which our efforts should be insured.

On entering on the duiies assigned him. Gen. Buttler cannot be tinmulful that he succeeds a general familiar alike with the science and the art of war. and who as but recently brought to a glorious ter mination one of the boldest campaigns to he found in its annals. He feels, however less diffidence in assuming the important and responsible command assigned him. from the conviction that he is aided and sustained by many of the talented and experienced officer# who contributed nobly to our recent success in arms, and bv a gallant army who have learned too well the road to victory easily to mistake it.

The orders snd in«lroctions issued by Major. Gen. Scott,for the government of this army, will be coniinned in force.
