      tuhertv ; and this consciousness you can only acquire through action . By the law qf God , you have neither p 7 op le-Mng W man-Icing . Your destinies are xn your-Sel world awaits . The initiative is wheresoever its expectation shall be fulfilled . wheresoever a people shall ffise ready to combat , and to die tfneed be , for the salvation of all , inscribing on its flag : God , People , Justice , - Arise for all , and you will be followed by all . Every democrat should say to his brethren of France : You expiate now an immense fault , that of having detried the European cause in > 48 . Do not forget it in the hour of awakening ; and in the interval , purify your-Zlves in love , in the worship of nolle ideas , in a return . qreai insp irations of your Fathers . Quit the cells therein the makers of formula } have confined you . Make under tne

      vourselves men again in the free air , ana orignt liaht of day . Berenter our ranks , which pride and the words of false prophets liave caused you to forsake . " Combat , not the bourgeoisie , but egotism , wheresoever i / ou find it— -under the blouse , as under the broad-cloth .-' Lot authority , for which we all are seeking , but the phantoms that ape authority , the corpses which say—we aee the life ; privilege , hereditary , monetary , or othertvise , winch substitutes itself to genius and to virtue . " Do not say—^ BT us cabb job the body , awd xll wilt- GO well . It is the soul that forms its cage , and every time you conquer a principle , you will find it result in asocial organization . Care for honour , for duty , for the mission of France : every duty fulfilled will give you one of the rights you now demand , and which you are denied" ¦ ¦ . -

      . _ ,.., , Frenchmen worthy the name , must liave energy ., loyalty , and love enouqli in their hearts , themselves to say to their brethren of other countries : " France once a ided you , she has now need of your aid . It is because of the faith our fathers Jiad in themselves , that no hostile efforts can now break our unity , or efface our nationality . ' Save faith in yourselves . We seek for brothers , not subjects , in Europe . Welcome be your cry of victory ! We will follow it as if it were our own " The entire party must become moral .

      Every man of heart must come and rally round the standard planted on this common ground , which we have so often indicated , and which I again point out : Goo , People , Love , Association , Libebtt , Tbutit , Equality , Vietue , the Good of All . Let each amorig ~ you pursue the study ^ of the solution which he believes to have foreseen ; let him speak , let him write according to his conscience ¦ : nothing better , it is our common right . But let him not confound the struggle with the victory ; let him not make of his special flag a flag of exclusion . ; let him not desert the great army of the future ; let him remember what I shall never cease to repeat to our brothers .- " WE ABE not democracy , we are but its vanguard : OUB DUTY IS TO CLEAB THE WAY , Democeacy will do the best . "

      At the present time every man ought to lend h % s arm to the struggle . If he does it not , he deserves to be dishonoured . Sis brethren die while h , e discusses . We are , in number , in intelligence , in courage , and in truth , more powerful than our enemies . We want only iinity of plan , of direction , of labour . Shame and woe to him whose intolerance or vanity shall hinder its realization . The day in "which the militant democracy shall have a Government , a tax , a common ground , a plan , a oneness of operation , it will have conquered . Until that day , lot it rosign itself to Monsieur do Maupas , to Schwarzonhorg , to Radotzky : lot it resign itself to sharao , to tho scourge , to transportation , to tho gibbet ; and find consolation , if it can , in reading tho political romancos which its pacific Utopists will always be ready to write ; they cost but littlo to produce . Tho position of tho Leader in regard to this untoward dispute is , we deem it well to repeat , strictly neutral , and our only fooling one of regret . —Editor ov the Leader .

      Promenade In The Crystal Palace. The Com...

      PROMENADE IN THE CRYSTAL PALACE . The committee for tho preservation of the Crystal Palace , determined to show its capabilities to the fullest extent , for tho recreation and amusement of the public , throw it open on Saturday for a grand promonado . A shilling was charged for the entrance , but the streams of pedestrians throughout tho day , and the hosts of vehicles which pursued thoir way through Piccadilly , reminded ono of tho oponing days of the Exhibition . It is difficult to ascertain tho numbers who visited tho building throughout tho day , but it has been stated , on good authority , that thero woro not less than 80 , 000 . Messrs . Fox and Henderson , the contractors , who aro now in possession of the Crystal Palace , received tho following communication , on Saturday morning , at an hour when it was impossible to stop tho arrangements for tho proinowulo : — " Immediate . " Pnluoo of Westminster , April 2 . "Gjsntmomun , —Wo aro directed by JTor Majesty ' s Commlsaionors for the Exhibition of 1851 to transmit to you tho accompanying extract from a hitler which tho-CommiHHionora lmvo received from tho Office- of Works , allowing- that tho Government diaapprovo of tho Exhibition Building hbiftg appropriated to any purposes other than Uioho winch aro specified in tho ' Royal warrant . " Tho Commissioners oxpeot that Messrs , Fox and Henderson will strictl y conform to the requirements of tho Commissioners of Works as oxproHsodin this extract . ' " Wo have tho honour to bo , Gontlomon , ' •" Your obediont servants , "« T . Scott ] tiJSBBi 4 < . * "Kva \ . n A . JJowjunG . " P . S . A . copy of the Royal warrant is oaolooed .

      ( Copy . ) "Extract from a letter to Ser Majesty ' s Commissioners for the Exhibition o f' J 861 , from the Office of Works , dated March , 26 .- — "' Lord John Manners feels it to be his duty , therefore , ¦ to take the earliest opportunity of apprising the Commissioners for the Exhibition that he cannot in any way countenance tho appropriation of the huildiqg to any purposes other than those which are specified in the Royal . ¦

      Warrantof the-26 th of September . , Had this injunction been obeyed by Messrs . Fox and Henderson , the most extraordinary results would probably have occurred . Such a disappointment at the very moment of expected fruition might have tried the patience of " the British public , and they might have tried the strength of the doors . If anything could convince the Government and the Royal Commissioners of the continued attachment of the Londoners to their

      Crystal Palace , it would have been a burglarious entry by a well-dressed mob—casual crowbars and extempore battering-rams in hands protected by kid-gloves , and the fairest of the fair sex encouraging the felonious charivari ! But this was not to be . The contractors preferred the hazard of disobeying the Woods and Forests to that of disappointing the public , and the doors were opened at the appointed time . The brightness of the day , the varied hues of the costume , and

      the wonderful order and good humour which prevailed throughout 1 the dense crowd , all combined to render the promenade most attractive and exhilarating . A little before two o ' clock the six bands of the Household Troops and of the Royal Artillery assembled in the centre of the transept , and playing various marches , filed off to the portions assigned to them in the building , where during the afternoon they performed various selections of music . At five o ' clock the bell which in

      days gone by summoned the workmen to the erection of the edifice—but which we trust will never summon them to its destruction—was rung ; and shortly after the bands of the Grenadier Guards and of the 1 st Life Guards inarched up in order from the west nave ; the band of the Royal Artillery , 2 nd Life Guards , and Scotch Fusiliers ^ from the east side ; the Horse Guards advanced from the south , and the Coldstreams from the north side of the transept , followed by crowds from all parts of the "building , who occupied the galleries and every place from which a view could be obtained .

      The several bands formed in the centre ^—three strokes upon the drum were given as a signal- —and the united bands struck up the National Anthem , with the usual monitory accompaniment of " hats off . " The anthem was concluded , encored , and from the assembled crowds rose one tremendous shout , which testified to the attachment of Englishmen to the Throne , and , among other " existing institutions , " to the Crystal Palace in which they were assembled . And thousands still lingered within its crystal walls long after the echo of that shout had died away , and the sun had set .

      THE CITY MEETING . The members of the metropolitan and other committees for the promotion of the recent Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations , with a great number of City magnates , merchants , and other gentlemen , met at the Mansion House , on Wednesday , and passed resolutions in favour of tho preservation of the Crystal Palace , and agreed that measures should be taken to promote that object by holding public mcetingiyn tho City and olsewhei-o . Tho Lord Mayor took the chair until compelled to retire to attend to his official duties , when Sir Moses Montefioro was requested to preside . Admiral Sir G . Sartorius , tho Reverend Mr . Cattloy , Alderman Wiro , Mr . Mollatt , M . P ., Mr . H . Maudslay , Mr . Oliveira , Sir C . Allan , and other gentlemen , cordially and heartily supported tho resolutions . An amendment moved by Mr . Harbor , and seconded by Mr . Phillips , was only responded to by eight individuals on n show of hands .

      The Kafir War. The Propontis Arrived At ...

      THE KAFIR WAR . The Propontis arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday , bringing papers from tho Capo up to tho 3 rd of March . On tho whole , the intelligence , if not decisively good , has at any rate nothing of an oppooito character . Our prospects , it will be remembered , sulwtantially depended on tho ofi ' oct which might be produced by a now invasion of tho Amatola district . Tho Kafirs , us wo were credibly informed , had boon materially discouraged by the enpturo and destruction of their property across the Kei . This blow it wns intended to follow up by a gonoral attack upon t ) io Amatolas , whero Sandilli was still intrenched , uiul hopes were entertained that the disposition to capitulate which had been alroady evinced would ho confirmed into an absolute surrender by tho success of tho projected operations . At present , howovor , tho reports uro indecisive . Tho movement Imd taken plltico , and " the work of devastation , " according to tho language of m \
