THE CHARTER AND NO SURRENDER . « ' These are times to try men ' s souls ' . " Tj ' RTEXDS , —Xever since the commencement of your labours for the liberation of your countr y did a more propitious opportunity offer itself for crowning y our labours with success than the present . The description of parties in the House of Commons—the complete failure of the Free-trade anodyne—the growing sp irit of discontent , which pervades all classes coevally with the direful distress of the people , indicate that the dav of England ' s
deliverance is at hand . France—glorious and emancipated—vises a brig ht example to the oppressed of all nations . The recent convulsion must have a salutary effect upon tbe destinies of every people . It has not only scattered despotism there , but has stunned it throughout the world . It reels , at tbe present moment , all over the continent of Europe—be it then our duty , at tbis opportune moment , to raise the jrreat arm of British moral power to aid the work of its utter annihilation ,
Two important duties are now before youall depends upon your promptitude and spirit in performing them . The National Petition must he aelopted and signed—the Convention must be elected and supported . We have fixed Monday , April 3 rd , for the assembling of the Convention in London .

Reforl Of Thc - Dlliga'uon To Paris. Lib...
REFORL Of THc DLLiGA'UON TO PARIS . Liberty—Equality—Fraternity . The Executive Committee of the National Charter Association having appointed Phili p M'Grath , the Chartistsof London Ernest Jones , and the Fraternal Democrats Julian Harnev ! to hear their congratulatory address to the Provisional Government , the Dele ga t i on on reaching Paris , at once put themselves in communication with the authorities , and proceeded to the Hotel de Ville , the seat ofthe government , where , after the announcement of their arrival , they were immediately received by tbe ministers .
Tbe Democratic Government is characterised by an absence of unmeaning display , and * surrounded by tbe love of the people , and the dignity of innate worth . Unlike the palaces of kings , no hired mercenaries guarded the seat of power ; the guards at the gates were working men in blouses , well-armed , and intent on protectingin tbatexecutive , the embodiment ofthe popular will , and enforcing respect for the popular power . No puerile ceremony attended the audience . In an inner chamber of the civic palace , stood three men , on whose countenances might be seen the conscious power of mind , but who received the deputation with that unaffected courtesy that should ever characterise the intercourse " of man to man ; these were Garnier-Pa ^ es , Ledru-Rollin , and Marrast .
Eunest Jones then addressed ( in French ) tbe membersof the Government , andsaid : Citizens , we come as a deputation of the oppressed to the free ; not to ask for aid , but to express admiration . To thank > ou for showing us how an enslaved people can liberate themselves ; and to tell you that the example of France is not lost upon the heart of England . We , too , have our Guizot—and we will tolerate him , ne > more than you have done yours . We , too , have grievances to redress , wounds to heal , and misery to solace . We , too . are determined to achieve our rights ,
and can rea '' the p lainer by the li ght of your revolution . We come to thank you , in the name of England and the world , and to assure you of the friendship of the British people , which will never permit its Government to make war en the French Republic . Should the English and French stand on the same battle-field , it will not be as foes , but side by side , to re-establish a Poland or restore an Italy . The speaker then read a French translation of the address ; and the original , handsomely mounfed and adorned with the tricolour , was placed'in the hanls of Ledru-Rollill bv Julian Ilarnev .
M . Garnier Pages . member of the Provisional Government , replied : —Citizens I We receive with gratitude the sympathy of the English Chartists . They prove to us . that England has perfectly understood tbe object of our glorious revolution , and the hissh mission of tbe Provisional Government . This mission must be peaceably accomplished by tbe movement of ideas , and we are convinced that , if the English Government should ever desire to make war on us , it would be prevented at the very instant by the English people ; for fraternity in the interior , and fraternity among
all nations abroad , is what must for ever sus tain the energetic men who have fought for liberty . We desire to conquer the good opinion of all nations ; we desire to invade them , with our principles and ideas ; but we do Dot intend to carry them onr institutiuns on the point of the Sivord . Take care to tell the English Chartists that , in the Provisional Gsvernment you have femnd the liveliest sympathy ; tell them that the revolution has been made hy the people and for them ; and that the Provisional Government , issued from
the penple only , thinks ofimjjroi'insr the situation of all the people . Tell them we admire their princip les , and respect their party ; and that from such tbe regeneration of society is to be expected . Observe , also , the republican spirit , - after victory , no cries of vengeance or h ; ite , but a generous calm , tbe immediate reestablishment of order . Great and generous as much as they have been brave and courageous , the French de / ire to continue their undertaking with crilm , but with energy , and hail with delight this expression -of English sympathy .
The deputation then withdrew , crying Vive la Republique ! and were escorted through the anti-chamber by the members of the Provisional Government . The Government then had the Chartist Address hung over the presidential chair in the Hall of Audience—and the news having spread through Paris ofthe arrival and distinguished reception of tbe Chartist envoys , the liveliest sympathy was expressed by the people . All grades vied in their marks of friendship , and , indeed , as a signal refutation of the calumnies of tbe Times and other papers , the ^ National Guards , and soldiers of the line , as
well as tbe armed populace , reprobated the idea of an English war , and seemed truly to carry into practice that " fraternity" which is one great feature of tbe Republic ' s glorious motto . We may exemplify this b y the words of M { Liemawce , commandant of the town artillery , and one of the most active men in the late conflict—who said , that , instead of fi g hting against England , be would sooner come and struggle for hor liberties . In no one instance was a remark hostile to the English uttered , not even when recognised by their language , amid the dense crowds occasionally thronging the streets , and labouring under the excitement of the recent conflict .
It may be well here to allude to the dismissal of English servants and « or kmen—a perfect god send for our dail y Press , who seem en deavouring to foment an enmity against the French Republic . With regard to the first , the proud aristocracy of France are wisely curtailing some of their idle splendour , and breaking up the-ir Parisian establishments . In this their French servants share tliti fafeof their Eng lish ones—dismissal . And as to the latter , it must be remembered that English working
men have been cunningl y employed by French capitalists to bring down the prices of French labour ; it would , therefore , be natural that they should be looked on as interlopers , and those papers that inveigh against this should recollect that the English aristocracy and middle class , of which they are the organ , are as grossly intolerant of Irish servants in their houses , and have , by similar labour-competition tried to produce hatred between English and Irish working men .
The delegation would feel it was not performing its duty—were it not , conjointly with a report of its proceedings and reception , to allude to the state of Paris at the time of their visit . Everywhere peace , order , and contentment reigned . Peace—because every man had arms . Order—because the people saw to the execution of their own laws . Contentmentbecause the sources of p lenty were not tarried by the band of monopoly . The change in Paris is the great vindication of the people against their calumniators . Theft and outrage are unknown , because hunger and outrage ere unknown as well . And it is an inspiring sight the men in blouses guardingfaithful sentinels , —the stores of wealth and
the seats of industry . One spirit seems to animate all . On the palaces of kings , over the doors of churches , and the monuments of war , are written those magical words that shall regenerate the world — LIBERTY , EQUALITY . FRATERNITY ! and , better still , on the hearts of every Frenchmen they are written , —in the every act of Government they are exemplified .
Nothing could read a sterner sentence on the pride of kings , and the villany of their class-governments , than the great uses to which their strongholds and their revenues , plundered from the people , are applied . 1 he polluted Tuileries has been ennobled—it is now an asylum for the infirm and aged among the poor . The million francs per month of the King ' s c ivil l i st , finds bread Tor the starving and un-

willing idler . The wine from the cellars cf Neuilly , no longer swells the orgies of the vicious , but gives strength to the sick in the hospitals of Paris . At the same time , propertyis respected , the shops are all open , and trade flourishes . Some vile speculators , who deal in miserv , who gamble in a scarcity of corn , anil grow rich on artificial destitution , may complain in their secret chambers , but their condemnation is a praise , and the tree of liberty shakes the noxious vermin from its leaves ,
it feels the kiss of heaven in its branches . . Thus freedom prospers—thus it blesses the gallant people whohave hadthe courage to win it . The French are taking the . means to keep itthat has been never done till now . But , let every British Chartist observe , that the Charter is the basis on which they have formed their government . Prosperity to France . ' Success to her gallant sons ! for she has taught nations a glorious lesson . May they profit by it ! Those who have seen the salutary efforts of popular Government in France , must feel astonishment at tha ignorance , apathy , or cowardiceof those ,
who , in other lands , can allow , oligarchy to rule , and misery , undesi gned b y God and nature , to exist . Astonishment well foundedfor if France , beneath her hundred chains , could start to liberty , there was no nation on earih that need doubt of its triumph . Those , we repeat , who have seen the happiness and peace of democratic France , must return impressed more deeply than ever with the important duty attaching to every individual , bo w ever humble , to induce in his own country a result as glorious < is that achieved in France .
The Delegation , in conclusion , are happy to express their conviction that their mission has drawn closer the bonds of fraternity , uniting the poor of France with the enslaved of England . All Men are Brethren . Vive la RepuMique . Philip M'Grath . E « NEsr Jones . Julian Harney .
Great Meeting In The Salle De Valentino,...
GREAT MEETING IN THE SALLE DE VALENTINO , RUE ST HONORE . A large meeting was held on Monday evening last , in the above gorgeous saloon , that , when lig hte d , had the appearance of a fairy palace . The meeting was convened to take the position of Germany into consideration , and Ernest Jones was specially invited to take part in the proceedings . Tbe " Meirseillaise" was s un g with a thrilling effect , and the assembled thousands greeted the appearance of the Chartist guest with rapturous cheering . Ernest Jones addressed the meeting- at considerable leng . 'h ,
and , by his eloquence , well vindicated the character of English oratory , kindling the enthusiasm of Iiis audience . ' Henvjgh , the great poet , presided . George Weerth , our Chartist friend , was on the platform , as were also Dr Marx and other eminent Democrats . An apology was made for the absence of Julian Harney , who was confined to his room by illness . A more enthusiastic meeting lias rarely Itten held , and the noble Salle de Valentino rung with cheers for the European Republic ,

BRAVU CITIZBNS OF FRANCS " We , the Democrats of the city of Manchester , most respectfully e . ffer you our sincere congratulations upon the noble victory you have achieved over a tyrannical government and a perfidious king . ' Brothers—The events of the last few days have tau » ht the monarchs of Europe a lesson they will da well to remember . You , the people of France , nave proved to demonstration that when apeop ' e are determined to be free , no earthly power can longer keep them slaves . But , above all , we rejoice at your firm resolve of for ever abolishing hereditary
legislation and monarchif . 1 institutions . Too long has Europe been infested with these legalised banditti—too long have the sons of toil worn the tyrants ' fetters , and submitted to their imperious mandates ; but a fatighter day has at length dawned upon us ; the glorious sun of liberty smiles on vice-clad France , while its refulgent beams are illuminatin-j the minds and strengthening the hearts of the men of other climes , who perceive that France has , as of yore , led the van in the onward march of undyins ? freedom . Accept , then , our fraternal regard , and our be > t wishes thit you , who have so nobly accomplished the liberty of your country , may know bow to preserve and permanently secure it .

ORIGINAL STATE OF THB GBOeJND . His first ( strp rroa to become the tenant of hAif Ifli acre of garden ground . The staple ofthe land was good , but owing to tho negligence of the formpr tenant , it was full of weeds and larpe weed roots , and contained a rast aumbtp of atones . A drain which mn thrown it from ¦ be higher to the lower part had been neglected , sotbat theiraterit ought to have carried away , flowed over and saturated a large portion of the garden . Ho trenched the wholo of the ground , fr m eisbteen inches to two feet deep , as < be soil required it , removed all the stones into a henp , and gathered together all the weeds anil weied roots , and mixed them with lime nnd salt , so a » to form a compost heap with them . In all these proceedings he was assisted up to April , 1817 , by his brothar , Richard Harrison Bannan , aged twelve years nnd eight months .
PEESENT STATE OF THK OaoDND . The craunel is now cropped for sprini ; and winter , ft is now fre- from wearfa and stones . The compost heap Is quite decayed and fit for use , it is worth 10 s . Some ofthe stones have he-en used to pave a pigsty , some have been given away to ncighbeiura , and ehe reel are saved for any future use . The drain ban been chanod eutand deepened , and it effectually carries away the surplus water . The crops now in the ground are brocoli to tha number of 710 , brocoli Hi , savoys 255 , vonak andSprotboro' cabbages 150 , lettuces 435 , Cornish cabbages 312 , < ight pounda onions , to shoot iato scalliens , a bed of turnips twelve feet by eitrht feet , and some small beds of red Dutch and Uafpole cabbages , onions , carrots , and also sixty he-ads of celery .
