The Following Speech -Was Delivered By M...
Poor la * was passed in tho year ISSt , andia the winter Of 1330 a committee had been anointed to examine into its working . Why should not that precede ** to fa lowed on the present occasion ! He *•«&** " " omjht tobe followed-forhe was informed thatthe guar . , -r . . T , „ j cnn ^ -htont / or tho inmates SSfw ££ S ^ t rse rd than tbe worst food Sod out of the workhouse , »* *• * £ J wonhave " ^ Hlhet ^^ auyp ope KS £ . *« . * .- Irish H ^ bers to tell ml what was the amount of ^ im al food in the UDlOn
vvo 7 khon = V of Ireland ? If they would not tell bim , he would 7 »« r t hej question himself . The able-todied labourer in the Irish workhouses was not allowed a Einr f" ounce ot animal food a-day . Waa that a fitting allowance for any human being in a country from which cattle were coming everyday in to the English market ! The p resent was not a question as to the area of taxation , but as to the whole operation of the Poor Law in Ireland , and he thought that tho inqniry into it should fee granted without further opposition by the govern , nient , and that it should be made , by the assistance of the government , as full aud searching as possible .
Mr C . Bulks denied the accuracy of Mr Wakley s sssertio-- -it the poor ill the workhouses ia Ireland were pa" . ¦ i a worse diet than the werst diet to be found Out of Ham in that country . It had never been the poliev of the law ia England to deter the poor from the workhouses by g iving tbem insufficient food ; and he thoncht that Mr Wakley had no right to make such an assertion , when the present commission had been BUcklinj for some time past forthe granting four dinners of meat every week to all the poor in our workh . ou « ES . The real question involved in this motion was this , —was tbe house prepared to hark" back on the law Ot la ^ t session , which bad extended the English Poor law to Ireland f 11 so , he would * oppose the committee npon tbat very ground . He could assure Mr Wakley that the unanimity of the Irish members was not so remarkable a phenomenon as ho supposed , and he Wished to know whether Jdr Wakley would advocate the propriety of yielding'to tbat unanimity when it was proposed to extend the income tax to Ireland ?
After roma observation- " from Mr Grogan , Sir D . Sorrevs , and Sir A . Brooke , Colonel Dunne made a brief replv ; but before the house went into a division . Ur Vy . iz . TEZ assured the house that he did flOt flSB for the purpose of detaining hon . members by any observations on the Irish Poor Law , with which he was imperfectly acquainted ; but he could not resist that opportunity of congratulating the government upon the fiTtu Date " appointment they had made in selecting as the president of the Poor Law Commission a gentleman who had had the extraordinary boldness to assert that it ' never Was the object of the New Poor Low to offer to the poer la the warehouse of this country a worse diet tban they would obtain out of them . ' ( Hear , hear . } He would ssy nothing of that famous document exhibited in tbe
house some few years ago , which was drawn up as a sort or feslsr , with a view of ascertaining to wtat degree , short of starvation , it would be possible to reduce the diet yf the poor in this couatry ; but he would ask the right hon . reatleman the member for Liskeard whether he had forgotten to what circumstances he owed the situation which he now filled ? Had the right hoa gentleman torgetien that it was to the disclosures that wert made before the Audover Union Committee — ( htar , hear)—ia which it was prered that the poor of that union were reduced ta such an intolerable diet , that they were compelled to gnaw raw bones —{ near , hear)—and Cflald the right hon . gentleman have the assurance , after that , to say that it never was the object of the Poor Law to give to the poor a worse din in the workhouse , than
thty would obtain out of it ? He { Mr Walter ) was rejoiced to hear the right hon . gentleman announce that he had been employed since the period he had accepted his present office in endeavouring to improve the diet of the workhouses , and to give the poor four davs nr . at dinners in the ^ eek . This , did not , however , affect the merits of the original question ; and ho should have bi'en wanting in his duty to his constituents , and to the refpi-ct which he owed to the memory of that individaii rrho whilst he lived , was the most determiBed oppou-atof this law— { hear , hear)—had he not risen la his place to express his astonishment at the assertion the rhjht hoa . gentleman had made .

Majoii ' . j against the motion ... € 1 lfier some discussion ou the motion of Mr Netoegatt , ,-ieleft committee was appointed to inquire into the law jnd custom of different parts of the United Kingdom as between out-going and iu-coming tenants , and also as between landlord and tenant , in reference to unexhausted improvements or deterioration of land and premises occupied for agricultural purposes . MR O'CONNOR'S MOTION FOR ENROLLING THE LAND COMPANY .
Colonel Duxxe having had the precedence of Mr O'Cox . xoson Tuesday night , " and the debate on that gentleman ' s motion not having concluded till near twelve o ' clock , Mr O'Connor had not an opportunity of bringing forward his motion for the Enrolment of the Land Company , but has renewed his notice for -ehe ICth of March . The presentation of the little moiiSisr petiuon with 203 . 335 signatures , caused no Email astonishment in the house , and there was great laughter , when the Speaker , according to the nana ! form , said ' that it do lie upon the table . ' Air O'Connor , however , to the astonishment of tbe hon . members , who thought it was impossible to lift it , took it up in his arms and deposited it on the table , just in front of her MajestyVMinisters . Ihe house then adjourned . WEDNESDAY , liAKea 1 . HOTTSB OF COMMONS — The house met at twelve o ' clock .
NOTTINGHAM ELECTION COMMITTEE . — The SPEAKER : I have to rrcqosiiU the house that I have -received a notice from Mr Durand Cooper , the agent of "William Key and others , statin- tbat it is not intended to procsed with the petition against the Nottingham -election . [ Mr O'Connor ' s seat is thus secure and unques-• tioned . 3 The County Rates Bill -was read a second . time , and ordered to be committed . The Poor E moral Bill was also read a second time , sad ordered to be committed .
Lor 3 Palhe 2 ston then i ose to resume his reply to the motion of Mr Anst-y . In so doing , the noble lord , in anticipation of a question which heundersteod Mr Vfakiey wishtd to put to him , intimated tbat no violence whatever had been offered durinjr the late disturbances in Paris to the English residents there , who had wisely abstained from " all interference with the trensactiens which had occurred . He then , ia resuming hi ? reply , observed that it was unnecessary for him to go into all the details comprised in Mr Anstej ' s speech , founded upon a motion of forty paragraphs , raisin ? topics which had already been mads subject matters of 139 parliamentary debates , and which , with all thei * details and collateral circumstances , filled some thousands of folio volumes . The noble lord thru proceeded
to ad < 5 r == s himself to some cf the more prominent ef the 1 accusations preferred against him , ia connexion with the treaty of Adrisnople , aad other transactions in which both Russia and Fraacs in particular were largely concerned , vinuicatinghiscor . finct ia all cases , ahd showing that in all the rights ef nations had been respected , and the honour aud independence of England preserved . He also adverted to the circumstances under which Mr Urqnhart had been recalled from the diplomatic post which be hsd held , since which time the attacks of the hon . gentleman upon him had been unceasing ; eoacludihg bis observations by stating , ihat while he had hsd the honour of directing tbe foreign relatioas Of this country , he had devoted to the task all the energies of which he was capable . They inighl have . found men , no doubt , who would bare done it with more ability , but none with more entire devotion . Tbe principle on which ha had acted bad been tbat of
maintaining peace and a rriendly unaerstandmg with all cations , " as long as it w & s possible to do so consistently With a dne regard to the interests , the honour , and dignity of the country . It was a narrow policy to suppose that one state or another was to marked out as an ttirnal ully or perpetual enemy of England . She had none such ; bat her interests were eternal aad perpetual , and those it was the duty of tbe government to support . And adopting the expression of Mr . Canning , he would say ' Tho interests of England ought to fce tha shibboleth of every British minister . * Thenoble 'lord resumed his seat with loud cheers . —A scene of 68-me confusion tooir . place , consequent npon Lord "Dudley Stuart ' s moving the adjournment of the debate , which occupied the few minutes that remained of tbe Bitting , when the Speaker left the chair , and the mo--tion will therefore again take its place among the -orders of the day .
THURSDAY , MARCH 2 . Tbe boisiness ia hath house ; was of a miscellaneous -gad routine character . None of the subjects discussed ¦ were of sufficient importance to warrant a separate ¦ no tice ia tbo crowded state of our columns . In the Oommoas , inieed , the majority of the . motions ended by their being withdrawn or postponed for furthir Consideration , and the House adjourned at 10 o ' clock .

Rbadino.—Falling Op A Railway Briogk.—La...
Rbadino . —Falling op a Railway Briogk . —Last week , a brid « e , erected on the line of the Reading , Guildford , and Reigate Railway , at Earloy , about two miles from Reading , fell entirely in . At the time of the occurrence a long train of waggons laden with earth was descending an inclined plane , when , oa arriving at the bridge , aU the foremost passed over safely , without any danger being apprehended , but on the last waggon crossing , being more heavily laden , tbe bridge gave way , and , along with the fall of the waggoa and its contents , preduced a most frightful crash . The hind w & $ g-- > a became
disengaged from the others by the breaking of the connecting chains , or the whole train of waggons must have been pulled in . The mass of earth and other material was scattered in all directions , ^ and the waggon much shattered ; fortunately , no persons were passing along the road at the time . A partial stoppage of the works , causin ? a number of hands to be thrown out of employment , has taken place in conss / juence . The bridge had but recently been constructed , and it is supposed that the heavy gale of wiod and rain during the previous day , with tbe ponderous weight of earth running over it , probably weakened it .

"Vive La Republique!" In Our Third Editi...
"VIVE LA REPUBLIQUE !" In our third Edition of last week , we announced the termination of the French Revolution by the abdication and flight of Louis Philippe . We have now to announce' the institution of the Republic on the ruins of the destroyed Monarchy . Immortal be the three days of February—22 nd , 23 rd , and 24 th;—days , without [ exception , the most glorious in the annals of the human race .
The 22 nd witnessed the thronging of the people in the streets , excited and agitated by the monstrous interference of the Government for the prevention of the intended Reform Banquet . The Ministers were confident and insolent in their supposed strength . On the evening previous , Duchatel , the Minister of the Interior , had scornfully declared that the Government would , c not give way before any manifestation whatsoever / ' In twenty-four hours later , this braggart and his confederates were tottering to . their fall . Still , Guizotand
his colleagues were confident . Their hirelingswordsmen— the Municipal Guards — had fleshed their swords , and shown their perfect willingness to lay the popular agitation in blood . " A has Guizot , cried a million voices that evening in Paris . What cared the " Man of Ghent ? '' His Guards were faithful , and the fidelity of " the line" unquestioned , and , therefore , he laughed—yes , " immoderately laughed , " when Odillon Barrot laid the articles of impeachment on the table of the Chamber of . Deputies .
The morning of the 23 rd dawned apon a population universally excited , but still almost totally unarmed , and , therefore , incapable of engaging in combat with their enemies . But , though unarmed , the Parisians were now resolved that Guizot and his confederates should be hurled from power . The unanimity and courage of the people were most wonderful . Tlie troops of the line , affected at the sight of devotion and heroism so astounding , permitted
the erection of barricades under their very eyes , and within the reach of their bayonets . The National Guard had been summonsed to arms the night previously , but had almost unanimously refused to obey the rappcl . This morning ( Wednesday ) the Guards began to muster , but they mustered to the cry of Vive la Reforme- In a few hours the unyielding Ministry was no more , and the unconquerable Guizot had announced his own downfall !
Now came the short-lived reign of the humbugs . It was announced that Count Mole had been sent for by Louis Philippe to form a Ministry . The people received the news of Guizot ' s fall with shouts of triumph , bnt they wisely added , " it is not sufficient , ' '—a bas les systeme ! That night Mole abandoned his task in despair . There was yet a chance for another set of humbugs , and the morning of the 24 th , found Louis Philippe reduced to the staking of his last card—the formation of a Thiers-Barrot Ministry . But though Louis Philippe knew it not , the game had been already decided—his
fall had become inevitable . The mysterious slaughter of the people on Wednesday even > ing , in front of the Hotel of Foreign Affairs , bearing , as it did , the appearance of a premeditated attempt at wholesale assassination , stung the people to madness . By this time , a vast number of the patriots had obtained arms —the discomfited and destroyed Municipal Guards having considerably contributed to the arming of their conquerors ; the National Guard had fraternised with the people , and the soldiers of the line had exhibited every
sign of disgust at being compelled to act the part of destroyers of their countrymen . The illumination on Wednesday evening showed the red flag unfurled , although as yet the popular cry was onl y " Vive la Reforme !" Dame Partington ' s attempt to repel the waves of the Atlantic with a ' mop , was not more ludicrously ineffectual than was the attempt of MM , Thiers and Barrot to check the surging waters of Democracy , now that the flood-gates of popular power had been opened . MM . Thiers and Barrot * were rejected by the Vox Popuft .
, The stqrmingof the Palais Royal , followed by the march of the people against the Tuileries , brought to an end , at one and the same time , the attempted ministry of MM . Thiers ina Barrot , and the reign of Louis Philippe . His kingship " abdicated , " at the same time very generously giving away that which was not his to give—the supreme authority . Philippe , the first and last , decamped , leaving the Count de Paris as a legacy to his beloved , but most rebellious subjects .
Then came that interesting spectacle , or rather theatrical "dodge , " the appearance of the Duchess of Orleans in the Chamber of Deputies , leading her young sons , the Count de Paris and the Duke de Chartres . Odillon Barrot appeared in the tribune as the last champion of expiring royalt y . As he betrayed the people in 1830 , so he tried again to cajole them in 1848 ; hut in vain—that " voice " from the gallery , " ft is too late ! " sounded the death-knell of the monarchy . The vilentl
doors were o y forced open , and the Chamber filled with armed men . The " satisfied majority" now found that the game was up . If there were any waverers , themuskets of the Proletarians , levelled at them from the galleries , taught them the utility of a speedy decision . President Sauzet put on his hat , hut the Count de Paris did not put on his crown . The Provisional Government was proclaimed amidst thundering shouts of " Vive la Rcpublique , ''
bee that we are not cheated this time . ' f We will have the Kepublic—a Democratic Republic ! " These cries testified the earnest-
"Vive La Republique!" In Our Third Editi...
ness of the people , and we are happy in believing that the Government selected in the hour of excitement , will not be found wanting in the day of difficulty . We . will not attempt this week to criticise the acts of the Provisional Government , enough that their acts must command the admiration of the world . The abolition of the punishment of death for political offences , and the institution of the Commission entitled the Committee for the Government of the Workmen , charged with the god-like mission of devising
means " for putting a stop to the long and iniquitous sufferings" of the Proletarians , are measures calculated to win for the new Government , the confidence and love of not only the working-men of France , hut of Europe generally . Menwho have determined that » the Revolution having been accomplished by the people , must be accomplished for the people , " will have the good wishes and prayers for their success of the working-men of every land , and excite on every shore the soulstimng cry of " Vive la Rewblique !"
Thb Beginning Of Thb End. The Republic F...
THB BEGINNING OF THB END . THE REPUBLIC FOR FRANCE , AND THE CHARTER FOR ENGLAND . Our columns have of late been much taken upjwith the great ] Continental movementswe aire now happy to say that we have home progress to report as well . " The beginning of the end has arrived ' '—matters are culminating to a crisis—the French Revolution has kindled the torch , and by its light the British people are reading the Charter of their liberties . We have just quitted one of the most glorious meetings ever held in the Metropolis —overwhelming in numbers , and magnificent
iri enthusiasm ^ ' It has not been a meeting , the effectgof which evaporates in the streets beyond ; -bnt , the men of London have given a solemn , pledge not to rest until they have the Charter . Nor did ; the meeting separate without taking steps for its next gathering , and commencing its organisation for the great plan of action , at the end of which we see the Charter as a positive ' reality . The utmost order characterised the proceedings . A full report of this splendid demonstration shall appear in our columns , of next week . Meantime let us ask , what is the COUNTRY doing ? It must
not be satisfied with mere meetingj shouting , and passing of resolutions—not with merely showing its power , but it must bring that power to bear ( legally and peaceably ) through the medium of organisation . Organise , organise , organise ; so that we can bring all our concentrated power to bear on one given point —the weak spot of corruption—and then it must give way . Our opponents tremble and totter before us . We are the only really strong party in England —the vitality of our country is centred in us—arid on us devolves the duty of its regeneration .
We can assure the people they can obtain the Charter in one year , —nay ! injone month —and without breaking one law or committing one outrage . Now is the time . We are nappy to learn the Convention is" ^ about to assemble —the people must second it—and , in the short interval before its convocation , they must develops the material of popular opinion and popular power , so that the Convention , when
it meets , shall be able at once to set the giant machinery at | work in the great constitutional struggle for our rights . To the work then , men of England ! Rally and organise your millions before the Convention meets , and then you will be able promptly , energetically , and successfully , to carry out the plans it forms . Let not the world ; say , "The French are free while Englishmen , are slaves ! ' ' ¦ ¦
We have also to record another instance of Fraternity among nations ; the Chartists of London have delegated Messrs . M'Grath and Ernest Jones—and the Fraternal Democrats have deputed Julian . Harney —( also elected by the Chartists)—to Paris , to congratulate the French people on their glorious triumph . Let there be public meetings throughout the country , to pass addresses to the French people ; and at all those meetings let the cry be " The Republic for France , and the Charter for England . "
Parliamentary Review. Ministershave Sust...
PARLIAMENTARY REVIEW . Ministershave sustained a defeat , which cannot fail to damage them materially . They have been compelled to succumb to the popular voice , as expressed in tones neither to be misunderstood nor disobeyed , on the proposed renewal of the Income-tax for five years , and an additional two per cent , for the first two years of that term . On Monday , the Chancellor of the Exchequer formally announced the withdrawal of that part of the financial scheme , propounded by his Chief , and restricted his
demand to the renewal of the present tax for three years more . Before acceding to that demand , there are two previous questions that ought to be investigated . Whether the proposed expenditure is absolutely necessary , or whether it is not possible to make some reductions in our present expenditure ? Mr O'Connor , in his masterly speech , which our readers will find fully reported in our / Parliamentary columns , has answered these questions in the most practical , straightforward , and satisfac * tory style . Without having had the advantage of preparing himself to follow a long , complicated , and perplexing financial statementrendered trebly perplexing , when Sir Charles
Wood was the exponent—he proved by a series of figures taken from the Chancellor ' s own speech , and close inductions from them , not onl y that the Ministry are not entitled to ask any additional money from the country , but that , on the contrary , they ought to make a considerable reduction on the expenditure of previous years . The Radical members of the House , generally speaking , deserve all credit for the manner in which they have criticised and resisted this monster budget , but we are bound to confess that a more searching and able commentary than that of the honourable member for Nottingham , produced upon the spur of the moment , on a most difficult
subject , we never met with . It is on these questions , mainly , that it has been apprehended a Radical Government would fail ; and if they did , tkey could not tail in a more vital department of statesmanship . Whatever grounds for that apprehension may have formerly existed , it appears clear to us that' there are none for it now , and that , in tlie financial department , at least , a PEOPLE'S MINISTRY , in this country , would not do less justice to the sagacity of those who carried them into power , than the heroic , noble , and transcendant statesmen , whom the people « of France
have substituted for a degraded and treacherous despot , and the paltry minions who were his instruments for crushing their aspirations for freedom and justice . The f tove the men of ; the people ; make themselves acquainted with matters of business , and acquire practical experiesce , the more will they be fitted for that period which it is evident is fast advancing , when the people will really and truly manage their own affairs , by their own government and their own representatives , instead of submitting to a mock Parliament and an aristocratical Administration . Such is the divided state of parties in
the House at this moment , that we verily believe , even now , if a cordial union could he effected between all the individuals in it professing Radical principles , they would be powerful enough to hold the balance between the two cliques of the Oligarchy , and impose their own conditions , not only as to the financial but also the political policy of the empire . This we are fully convinced of , that it would be utterly impossible to find any man less fitted , either by nature or acquirements , than the present Chancellor of the Exchequer , for the duties of that office ; and the lofty sublimity of Lord Johu ' di imagination evidently

prevents him from going minutely into such trifling matters as a few millions a year , more or less , of taxation . Truth to say , the Whig Budget of 1343 proceeds at a , snail ' s pace . The ' revjsed edition of it . to has still be discussed , and in the meantime the items of which it is made uD having been divided into two great parcels , one endorsed' Army , Navy , and Ordnance , " and the other ° ' Miscellaneous , " have been pitched down before a couple of committees upstairs who are to take upon themselves one of two duties—either they are meant to do the work
of the Ministers , by preparing in detail such estimates as the exigencies of the county really require ; or they are , en the other ban / to usurp the functions of the Representatives of the people in their collective capacity , and dictate to them , in their reports , what they ought to do with reference to these estimates We say that if they do the one a clear , prim a facie case of uselessness and incompetency will be made out against the Government ; if they attempt the other , it will be an invasion of the
constitutional rights of the people , and of the House of Commons , which ought to be resisted to tho death . After all , it is the unquestioned right of holding the purse-strings , which gives the people the strongest hold upon the aristocratical factions who alternatel y occupy the Treasury benches ; and although the right may have been abused , misused , or suffered to rest in abeyance , np act whatever that implies its non-existence , or that tends to weaken it , should be permitted for a moment .
The . question for the people , as we have said , is whether they will be contented with their first victory over these wretched financiers , or whether they will press forward , and demand such a reduction of the estimates and of the annual expenditure , as would allow at once of the repeal of the Income Tax—as contra distinguished from the Property Tax—and also of that most iniquitous , health-destroying , and atrocious impost , the Window Duty ? The time has come when this question of Taxation should be looked fairly in the face , and the National Debt itself overhauled , ^ despite the
cries of horror which may be uttered by those interested in keeping that monster millstone around the neck of the nation . All duties imply rights . Debtors have their rights as well as their duties , and there can be no harm in the debtor looking over the account from fime te time , with the view of arranging it in accordance with eqnity j as well as the creditor insisting upon keeping to the strict letter of the law . If . we really are so very poor , and our national income is falling deficient , let the burdens fall upon all alike . Surely the class , whose existence depends upon the regular payment of their dividends , will have no objection to pay something additional , as well as the rest of their neighbours , to maintain those
institutions which guarantee and secure to them their half-yearly receipts . If the nation owes them money , they owe ihe nation protection and security of property ; and they ought , at least , to hear a fair share of any losses Jor burdens which fall upon other classes . Until this gigantic item of our National Expenditure is dealt with by bold and equitable men , no very tangible reduction of our National Expenditure can be effected . Whether the conversion of the . whole into terminable annuities , or announcing that the interest upon the Debt wonld be gradually extinguished , at the rate of one-eighth per cent , per annum , which would give those who have funds invested sixteen years to find out other and better
investments , be the best mode of procedure , we do not pretend to say . But one thing is certain , that , with the increasing pressure upon the poor man , the growing difficulty of finding employment , and the diminished wages he has to take when he is lucky enough to get it , the maintenance of this great swindle must lead to a general , determined , and , it may be , violent effort to throw it off . With-respeet to the Estimates for the year , we would rigorously overhaul the Naval , Military , and Ordnance Estimates . In 1835 , the expenditure under these heads was
something over eleven millions and a half . It has gone on increasing , at the rate of a million a-year or so , until it now amounts to between eighteen and nineteen millions . Why is this ? What substantive greasons are there for so large an increase to our expenditure for soldiers , sailors , and marines ? There is often a vague talk about the extent of our Colonial possessions / and the necessity we are under to protect and defend them . But what new Colonies have we acquired since 1835 , which are so large or so valuable as to require us to pay eight millions a year for their
defence ? Surely it will not be pretended that Hong Kong or Labuan are worth an eighth of that amountj not merely in the shape of annual expense , but as purchase money for the fee simple . The Miscellaneous Estimates , too , ought to be closely searched into , and no doubt a million or two could be cut down in them . Among other items , for instance , 50 , 0001 . for a pinery at Kew might be fairly struck out . If Royalty wants a new pinery , let Royalty provide itself with one out of the large revenues which the nation grants it . Prince Albert might , we think , manage very comfortably with 10 , 000 / . a year as pocket money , instead of
30 , 000 ? . Queen Adelaide might contrive to get through life tolerably well upon 20 , 000 / ., instead of 100 , 000 Z , a year ; and thus , from these three sources , we should save 150 , 000 ^ . » the precise sum which Lord John asks for the Militia , supposing a Militia to be desirable . But the subject is too fertile for us to do more than glance at it , and we can only conclude by saying , that we earnestly trust the House of Commons will resolutely refuse to grant any supplies until these preposterous and infamous estimates , which will impose a burden of notless than 60 , 000 , 000 * . upon the country , are thoroughly pruned and pared by bold and honest hands .
The Answers Of The Government To The Var...
The answers of the Government to the various questions put to them by members , with reference to the recent soul-stirring events in France , have been of the most prompt and satisfactory descri ption . There will this time be no English interference against Republican France . The Government has committed itself in the face of Parliament , in the eyes of all the Governments of Europe , and of the world , to a strict policy of non-intervention in the interna ! affairs of our heroic neighbours . It must he the duty of the people here to see . that this pledge is faithfully kept , and that no pretext ivhatever be allowed for its violation . On the other hand , we hope that the Provisional
Government of the Republic , and the great and noble people whose destinies they are a- « pointed to guide , will refrain from making any movement of an aggressive character . They have a high and a hol y mission to perform—one upon which not only the welfare of France , but of the world depends . Let them , by the re-organisation of Labour , Capital , and Skill , and the equitable distribution of the products of that combination , lay broad and deep in France the foundations of a new , rational , just , and permanently beneficial state of society , and they will then find that France will not onlvbe
able to maintain all its own population at home , in the midst ' of comfort and prosperit y , but to present against all external aggression—should it be insanely attempted from any quarter—* such a phalanx as never before encircled and defended the frontier of any state , ancient or modern . The first acts of the Government have been marked by a spirit of lofty philosophy and of practical statesmanship , not to be equalled in the records of history .
