      MICHIKERT . We read in the Refobme : — Sinister raports have been sprtafl inspiring alarm in tie triumphant city . It has been said that machineryand 0 ; fcer apparatus , and particalarlj mechanical presses , bid been tlma ' ened with destruction . Not having bten gWe to conquer or gag the people , they are now calumtilted ! If citizen * , victim * of the organised concurrtnee against thum by means of great forees , were to a themselves to be seduced into making a holocaust cfmic bin-ry , thej would deceive themselves as to their real tntmy . This enemy is not the economical and great BOSivc power of production j tbis enemy is the feudal

      industrial government , which , in order to found its em--irs on the servitude of hunger , degraded handicraft , and refused to tbe workman , credit and aeEoetatfon . frith the institutions about to arise frem tbe government founded by the sovereignty- ef tbe people , aad to bt matched over , by it these vices will no longtr exist . MacLiRiry is apo ^ er enrinea-. lv rerointionary snd democratic . Instead of crushing , as under the reign of fcuial industry , it will enfranchise the people . Machinery makes a . ' multiplication of Ioave 6 of bread . Nay , sinrt the people have eocqucie S its sovereignty , since tbe social and political laws w : ll bs its own ff < srlc , the p » ople would co mmit an act sgainst its own interest * , by fcreakine machines , its instruments and servants .

      Apropos to the repnrte above spoken of , the editors ol the . Atelier have sddressed the following letter to iheir cumrades : — Paris , Feb . 25 tfa , 6 P . H . Brothers !—We learn that amidst tbe j - > js of triumph , somebf ocr companions , misled by perfidious connself , have vrisred to " tarn'sh the glory of our revolution bv excesses which we cisspprove of with all our energy ; thtv have threatened to brfaktbe mechanical presses !

      SEJUICISG 3 OF THE PAEI 5 IASS . Te read in the Commerce : — . Yesterday morning every heart was filled si h confidence ; the streets wire filled with promenaders meeting , g rouping , end embracing eecfe other , happy at finding tnenis ^ ive 5 at the end of events tbe glory « f which has cost u » the lives of so many of onr brothers in gaining the great triumph of the right 6 of humanity . The night passed admirably . Wa traversed Paris from the Fan hours Poi = sonn ; ers to the Hotel de Ville , at two and four o ' clock in the morning , an 3 at every point found the datj admirably performed by the citizens and the National Geards ; the stntinels beinf vigilant , and the pass words and counter-signs given and returned . The capitel was admirable . Illuminated to its roofe Trith' lamps

      end other lights of a thousand colours , and perambu . latcd in every part by a population intoxicated with joy . The BooUvards , in particular , presented a magic spectacle , the ' Mirseill-iise' and the Hymn of the Girondins resounded oa all sides ; the voices of womea and children . jjin : s * in concord with ths mascnlinB tones -of tbt heroes of Febrasry 24 . In the Passaf e Yor £ of , the Lyric Society of th . e children of Paris sang popular hymns , composed sad arranged for the event , with a precision and harmony which went to the heart , and drew forth pea * 3 of applause at the end of every strophe . Whoever has not seen Paris la = t eight—Paris fuli of order , union , end msje « ty , amidst the sublime disorder of the barricades—can nerir form an idea of the great beauties of the sovtreLmt ? of the people . ' The Xatiokal says : — The state of commercial affairs is an infallible tber Eometer of the confidence atd security of public opinion . The Bank of France yesterday accepted the bills which were remitted to it by merchants , and keeps at their disposal the value in cash .

      TOOD EICUBED TOR THE PEOPLE ^ The ?» iosix 6 Trs has the following—The students of the Polytechnic School aad tha elttien 3 De Bassano and Solms are eharged to watch over tfce full and entire execution of the decrees issued bj the provisional government of tbe Republic for provisions of all kicd =. They shall more particularly see that the " toktrs be w « -li supplied with bread . Every power is given them for this purpose , and to this effect they will go to the ballet and entrepots , and assure themselves of the complete ^ tite of tha supplies ; they sra authorised to can for the asfistscceof the armed force to secure the deliveries . Tht-y will also , and the citizens who guard the barricades-should aid them in this important n ? ie 5 ion . make every a rangeinent that tbe cireH'ation Fhall be free to all ' arrivals . Now that Tiucsnnes and the forts sra taken , th = re is ao loHger such a great necessity to guard against any fresh invasion .

      MM . Diifaure and Billanlt have sent in their adhesion to the provisional gOTernment . The administration of the h ^ pices of Paris organised with great rapidity ' . the measures necessary to ensure constant distributions of bread to all such ciiiz 2 £ sas voluntarilj took dp arms .

      THE PROVINCES . The journals of Lilie state , that when intelligence ef t ' ue events of Paris arrived crowds assembled . The Prefect had announced a ball for the night of tee 2 ith , but , on learning that blood flowed , the Municipal Administration refused to go . The ball , nevertheless , took pisce . but the crowd under the windows s-houted ! ' On ne dansepas eur Its morU !' AstheoTtii iegimer-t , which had been ordered to Pari-:, was proceeding to the railway station , a large crowd which accompanied it , cried , ' Do not fire on our brethren ' . ' At Amiens , a crowd ea ? er for news snirpuBied the railway station , and manifested the liveliest Bjmpathies for the popular cause . At Trojes a merchant having illuminated his house on the 2 ith , aud put up the inscription , ' To the brave defenders of our liberties ' . ' a crowd assembled and wanaiy applauded .

      Brethr-rn ! Let us be calm and dignified , in the name of liberty , equality , and human fraternity ! A eurious accident happened on Friday , The tollhouse ef the ' Pont Louis Philippe' haying bseB set on fire , about one o ' clock , the flames caught the joints where the chains of the bridge are connected with the wood-work ; th * y gave way , and the plattorm was precipitated int" * the Seine . The shock was tremendous and . several pa-sengers who were crossing ths bridge at the fatal moment were sudnierged and yetished . Tiie dreadful catastrophe which took place near the Hotel of Foreign Affairs resulted in the death of fifty-two individuals .

The Republic *? as officially announced yesterday by M . de Latnartine , surrounded by the other members of the provisional government and the four secretaries . M . de Lamartine descended the steps of the great staircase of the Hotel de Ville , and , presenting himself in front of the edifice with a paper in his hand , thus expressed himself : —

      Citizens—The provisieafll government of the Eepublic feas called upon the people to witness its gratitude fer the magnificent national co-operation-which has just accepted thesa new insHtntlonP . ( Prolonged acclamations from thO crowd and National Caard . ) The provisional government ef the Republic has oaly joyful intelligence to announce to the people here assemiled . Royalty ii abolished . The R ? pablic is proclaimed . The people will exercise their political rights . National workshops are open for tkoss who are without work . ( ImraenFe acclamations . ) The army is being re-orf anised . The National Guard indisEolnbly unites itself with the people eo as to promptly restore ' order with tbe » sme hand that had only tbe preceding moment coaqacrsd our liberty . ( Renewed acclamations . )

      Finally , gentlemen , the prov ' sienal . government was aniioui to be itself the bearer to you of the last decree it has rtsolved on , and signed in tbis memorable sittingthat is , the abolition of the penalty of death for political matters . - ( Unanimous braves . ) This is the noblest decree , gentlemen , that " has aver is « nea from AemouthB of a people the day after their victory . ( ' Yes , - jes ! ' ) It is the character of the FreDcti nation which escapes in one spontaneous cry from the soul of its government . ( 'Yes , yes ; Bravo . ' ) We have brooght it with us , and I will now read it to yon . There is not a more becoming homags- to a people than the fpectce'e of its own magnanimity .

      At the conelubion of this manifestation the provisional-governrcent , accompanied by the unanimous acclamations of . the innumerable population wLo covered the Place of ( he Hotel de Ville , was again called , upon to receive anew the consecration of the popular voice , given to them by a crowd of citizen ? , National Gnards , students , and scholars .

      OFFEKCE 3 . The provisional government feas formally abolished the punishment of death for political offences . This will ensnre the safety of the ex-ministers , should they be arrested ; but , in faet , nobody troubles his head about them—a sign of the times reaUy consolatory , for I remember well the animosity of whick SIM . Polignai , Peyronnet . and their colleagues , were the objects in 1830 . ' The government has decreed , in addition , the suspension of all capital sentences ; also the formation of national workshops ; the adopt-on of all public edifices in .. the name of-the nation ; the transfer of the income of the civil list to the Vu ' blifi Treasury —( it has been reported that the private fortunes of the King and Royal family will be

      confiscated , but this isyetonly a rumour)—the prolongation by 10 days of the time for payment ef billadne between the 22 nd of February and the 15 th of March ; the inspection of hospitals ; there-pavement of the streets ; the regular transit of letters by post ; the protection of the museums . The provisional government is working with zeal and effect , as I have already observed . ' They . have ' taken stock ' and find that there ' is hread for thirty days in Paris , ard they have ordered the repair and the re-construction of the railroads and the facilitating of the arrival of provisions from the couritry . ' . They have addressed the people fe be np . rin- ' their guard

      against the malefactors and' pillagers who . have already committed crimes , and there is so much reason and gocd " sense , and such a truly wonderful sense of honour and probity in the population , that you wiil find that this address will have . put an end to plunder and pillage , and that'these caught in the perpetration of such crimes will be summarily and —it must be said ^—capitally punished on the spot . Yesterday , ' for example , a man was about to enter at the window of a house in the Rue Richelieu , and persisting in his design after being called upon to descend , waa shot dead . ' .

      FRENCH REPUBLIC . LIBEBII—EQUALIII— FBAIEHNIIT . The provisional ' government , convinced that greatness of eoul is the highest ' degree of policy , snd that each revelation effected by ' th ' e French people owes to the world the consecration of an additional pailosepMcal truth j Considering that there is no more sublime principlo than the inviolability of human life ; Considering that . in the memerable days in which we live the provisional povernment has rtmarfced with pride that not 6 BiDgle crjfur vengeance or for death bas ' dropped from the months of the | eople ; ' , Declares— . That in its opinion the punishment of death for political offences iB aboliEhtd , and that it will present that wish to the definitive ratification of the Natienal Ae-Bembly . The provisional government has eo firm a conviction of this truth , that it proclaims , in the name of the French people , tbatif the guilty , men who have just catted the blood of France to be spilt were in the hands of the people , it would , in their , opinion be a more exemplary chastisement to degrade them than to put them ' to Arnih .

      KERCH BEFUBL 1 C . Paris , Feb . 25 th , —The government of the Preach Republic pledges itself to gusrastee the existence of the working man by bis labour . It ecg « geB also to guarantee work to all citizens . It recognises the fact that worWng men are entitled to unite together to enjoy ; tha legitimate advantages of their labour . The proviBiunal government restores to the working classes , to whom it belongs by right , the million which falls in from tho civil list . ¦ - G ? rnier . PageB , Major of Paris .

      FSOCIAHATION TO THE ABHY . Generals , Officers , and Soldiers : The government ef the ex-king , by its attempts against liberty , the people of Paris by its victory , have caused the fall of the goverament to which you swore obedience . A fatal collision has drenched the capital with blood . . - . The blood of civil war is that which is most repugnant to France . The people forget all in pressing the hands of its . brethren who bear the sword of France . A provisional government has been , created ; it has arisen from the imperious necessity of preserving the capital , of re-establishing order , and of preparing for France popular institutions , similar to those under which the French Republic rendered France and its arcniss so great .

      You will salute , wa doubt not , the flag of the country , in the hands of the tamo power which first raised it . You will feel that these new und strong popular institutions which are about to be funned b y tbe national SEEcmbly , open to the army a career of deTOtcduess and

      BeBides these , a decree is published in the Mowseer reminding the people that tha residences belonging to the fallen royalty are now tbe property of the nation , and that they are to be sold for the benefit of the victims of the revolution , and to pay the damages suffered by trade and labour , and therefore placing these national edifices nnder the « w * ttiUanct and , safeguard of the people . Another decree states that the victory gained by the people has threwn great expeose on the municipality of Paris , for the repairing of the 9 treet 8 , the re-c onstruetion of municipal edifices destroyed in order to form

      oarricades , and the support of the families ot citizens who died in the cause of liberty , the present octroi duties , which are almost tho only source of the revenue of Parip , shall be continued ti ll such , time as they can be . reyiged and modified by the representatives of the nation . A third decree ( from thePostmasttr-General ) atate 8 that the cemmunication by po ^ t has now been opened with all the departments , and that it will be continued regularly , not only to all parts of the Republic , but to foreign countries ; and two other decrees appoint citizen Thiery , with the aid of citiKns Ycillrmier and Dumon to superintend the hospitals of Park and eitizsn Dumouhn ,

      to be provisional commandant of the Louvre . _"• TheMoKixEnK also contains a decree relative te the organisation of the National Guard molil « - There are , it states , to be twenty-four battalions , two for each of the twelve arrondiBsementsot Pans ; each battalion will consist of ekht companies , and each company will be formed of 131 men ; so that tho total torceof the battalion , including tenofte

      provisionally borrowed fiom tbe lieutenants of the line , as welias the other officers demanding great activity and knowledge Of military business . The ' pay of each private is to be If . 50 c . a day . The fame sum is to ba given to the Corporals and non-commissioned officers , seeing that \ l is an indemnity , and not the payment of an employment . To each man of every rank will be allowed a first indemnity of 20 f ., held in reserve for hia linen and shoes , Tlie drummers are , in addition , to receive the daily indemnity given in the regiments of the line for their drum . The pay of the officers ib to be in proportion to their rank , according to laws and ordonnances concerning the infantry of the line . The uniform is to be that of the other part of the National Guard , and the arms those ot the line . Officereofevpry rank are to receive an indemnity for outfit of 300 f . The whole of these men can be called on to nurch ( aa their name implies ) from Parisat any moment , and each man must engage to serve at least a year and a day .

      L- - «• THE SOLDIERS OF THK PEOPIE . ^ ' ¦ •• The transformation of operative workmen into insurgents , and of insurgents into" soldiers , in the course of four days , is one of the miracles that can only occur in France . On Thmv-dny and Friday all was agination and excitement m Paris . Yesterday evening everything' was subsiding into order . The traasition from revolt to submission to the lawsfrom rase to kind feeling—from violence to gentleness , of which the French character is susceptible , is marvellous . On Friday last a body of the people proceeded ; with obviously hostile views , to the barracks in the Rae Pepini ^ re , in which were the 52 d

      Regiment of the line . They found in front ftf it a battalion of the M Legion of National Guards , one among whom asked , ' What do you seek V ' The a . fms ,, of the 52 d . ' 'Why ? ' 'Because we wish te apply . them to the defence ef the country . ' 'But are . tbey notih thehands . of the 52 d , who have fratersnsed with the people , and who are ready , willing , and capable of fighting for France ? ' This produced a' pause . The National Guard then proposed that a leader of the people should accompany him to the Colonel of the 52 i ; which bein ? agreed to , an interview took place , which ended in the Colonels presenting himself at the balcony and thus addressing the people : —

      Citizens , —You nek for tbe arms of the 52 d in order that thfy be given to patriots . The 52 d are patriots to a man . The ' 62 d waB among the firat of the regiments which in 1830 joined the people . The 52 d was the first which in 1818 frattrniscd with the peopls , Tbe 62 d is no mpre . That whieh was the 52 d of the line ia now the first regiment of the Rep ' ublic . ' - The enthusiasm which this brief address produced on the people is indescribable . I . need hardly add that the arms were left with the regiment , and those who came five minutes previously to fight and slaughter retired delighted , and in the best possible disposition . . . . " .

      So far it will be seen that the labours of the provisional government are as various as admirable . They appear all directed , in the first placet to confirm and-consolidate the new Republic ; : in theisecond place ; to the immediate relief of all who in any manner Fufier from the events that have taken ; place ; and in the third , to the re-establisbmeniof order .

      KOBLB C 1 XDUCT OP THE FBOPLEi' . ' . . ' It was impossible not to admire the order that prevailed . Placards were posted that ail-robbers would be immediately Bhot . On all sides you heard . those who , to-morrow , will not be able to find bread : for their children , exhorting others to commit no injury . There is not much mischief done , the > hangings , the candelabra , the clocks , and the statues are nearly all in their places . Few glasp . es are broken , and few pictures injured . The people well understood that any injury was a destruc , tion of national property . At the Palais-Royal much mif chief was done , and the pictures have suffered considerably . ' Atthe Tuileries the people found much silver ware , which they immediately delivered to themairie .

      The following incident , in the invasion , or tbe Tuileries has bsen related to U 3 by a person in whose varacity vre place the fullest QonEdence .. ° _ IzL-ooe < -of the apartments was found a . considerable sura , o money . ; Oneoftho commanders ; . of thevinsurge ' nta called a small party of the . men ffji . ifowjejentrusted it to th- m , with direetionsto carry it-to the treasury , telling them the nature arid v&lue of the charge- ; a trust which they performed with ... the strictest fidelity . . ¦ - ,

      THE POLISH REFUGEES . The Polish refugees assembled to-day , in the Ridinff ' School , on . the Boulevard de Ia Madeleine , and nominated a provisional government of seven pe « on 8 , under the . preaidence of General Dwernicki . Tbe French Republic has gives up to them the barracks lately occupied by the Municipal Guards , where they will . be organised under the national colours . a . . Bou Msza has escaped from Paris , and a reward Is offered for him . Of those likely to get a diplomatic appointment in the celebrated Abbe Lamennais , who will , it is said , be sent to Rome . The diamonds of the crown have been taken from the Tuileries , and deposited-in Jhe-national treasury . : It is ' said , that the Duohes 3 of Orleans , with her two children , have reached Havre .:

      The Prince of Wurtemburg ( Louis Philippe ' s sonin-law ) is still in Paris , and was this morning walking about the streets apparently unconcerned . - He viBited the Tuileries , and some of the principal scenes of the recent combats . Nothing is known of the late ministers . .-On the night of the 21 st the Duke deMontpensier was' to have given a grand soiree , a sumptuoua breakfast was to have been given at five in the morning , it bamg not doubted that tho Parisians would promptly be put down . . ; .. . . . . . . ¦;¦ .: The Archbishop of Paris has ordered masses io be performed in all the churches for the people killed in theingurreatien .

The change in the appearance of the capital sjnee Friday morning is almost as miraculous as the revolution which wbb accomplished on the previous day ; and if it were not for ; the . cut-down

      trees and the remains of . the barricades , no one who did not know the fact would imagine . that within the last three dayB an established government had been upset ; that blood had been spilled in all . tho streets ; that anarchy bad had the upper hand ; and , in short , that the country had been . revolutionised . . The anxiety and fearB to Be read in every face , and not less in thatoi' the victorg than of tho vanquished , have completely disappeared . The moderation of the people , the efforts of all classes to restore order , and the good sense shown by the . provisional government in its first acts ,. havehad the effect of reviving confidence everywhere , aud . jtbe unanimity with which 'the Republic- has been accepted throughout the province . 3 ( as far as the accounts have yet reached us ) leads to the hope that there will be no disturbances elsewhere . . . ¦ : .: .

      will animate my country for the prosperity , happiness , and glory of France under the institutions which she has now inaugarated in con'b-mity with the will of . the nation , Americans will have aa ardent hope that under the wisdom of France these institutions wjU have for the whole human race results , to which tbe magnanimous eonduct of the people in the late events afford a happy presage .
