foundations Of the eternal Alps ; when yet Louis Philippe wa 9 confidently certain of the perpetuation of his crafty dynasty , and the crown sat jauntingly upon his brow ; when yet he fearlessly bestrode Fiance aa a horse-breaker does a fiery sti-ed—spurring his lacerated and bleeding sides in tho true despotic fashion ; the startling cry of French invasion was uttered by t ! ae Duke of Wellington , and loudly echoed by the very veracious governmental journals of Britain . Now , my friends , this was in the palmy daysof monarchy in France , and , if an invasion was to be feared then , how much more is it to be dreaded now , when
Republicanism rei gns inci ruloB , And Freedom waves aloft The cap of Liberty ? Yes , you are sure to be invadrd now , a great event ia near at hand—an event fraught with vital import to the British nation acd the world . Why , thea , oh , IXwcrats , arc you not nuking preparations ? Why are you so infatuated as not to allow yourselves to observe the actions , the doings . Hie designs of others ? Are you to stand idle while others are at work ? Are . you to be branded with the mark of cowardice , while others are receivinp the reward of heroes ? No ! Never be it said that yon are dastards .
Behold tho noble example set yon by those loyal and stout-hearted gentlemen of London and Glasgow who hnve bravely , manfully , and fearlessly volunteered to defend the laws , the constitution , and the crown . Why , then , do you not follow their gallant example , ajnd arm yourselves ? Are you less devoted ? Ayb you Irss resolved ? Are you leas determined than they are ? Nj , you are not . Then , pre pare ! prepare ! Just imagine , my friends , ju ^ t imapino , I repeat , Irel and to be up in arms- A Republican army landed on your shores , entering the capital in triumph , proclaiming , in' their outlandish patois , ' Liberty , { . Equality , Fraternity , ' and driving your lovejyand beJoved ( Juren , and her aujrust husband , and ihfir poor little hc ] p !« ss royal eff-j rirg into exile .

THE / TRADES' DELEGATE MEETING AT THE BELL INN . OLD BAILEY . The adjourned meeting resumed its sitting on Thursday evening , March i < Hh , # Mr Edwards ( compositor ) , was called to the ca » pr , who , after some remarks relative to the expulsioa ot workmen from France , read two letters , one from the Robin Ilood , and tho other from the Red Lion Society of tailots , deprecating politics as a part of trades ' discussions . the da ,. _ -r . n . ... r > .. n . n <
Mr Brown . ( oarpenter $ , an resuming - cussion , 8 aid , he agreed that a committee should be appointed , but he thought at the same time that tho committee s ' -miild be instructed what to do . It . was useless to proceed to government with a tale of distreas . The government knew right well that ditstress prevailed , and the only only thing they had given ua was union bastiles . ( Hear , hear . ) Honce he was for making this a political question . He even went farther than the Charter . ( Cbeer 3 . )
Mr Curtis ( cabinet maker ) said , be quite agreed with the previous speaker , that poverty anil excessive tavation went band in hand . He was as much an admirer of the principles of the People's Charter as any man in the room ; but , nevertheless , ho could not agree that they , the representaiivea of trades ' bodies , should take up political questions : but _ ho thought the destitute condition of the operatives should bo forced on the attention of govi'rnnient . ( Hear , heir . ) The awful bread riots by the operatives of Glasgow , &c , was a proof of the alarming
distress now prevailing . Could a stronger proof be given than that of starving o . eratives taking , perf ' oroe , that bread which was otherwise denied them ? Mr Alexander Campbell said , be represented the ' Metropo . itan house carpenters and joiner ? . ' He rejoiced to hear so many < xuress the opinion thai tliis question should be an irdurtrial question rather than a political one . All political questions were founded on social rquality , and withmt social you could not have political equality . Mr Campbell read a series of resolutions , setting forth : —
1 . That unless the distress of the operatives ce re lieved it must lead to anarchy , confusion , aud revolution . 2 . That it was the da ' y of the government to find employment fur the people . 3 . Thut . tUerewfta pUnty . of land In the country on winch to employ the surplUB hands . 4 . That government sbouli inntitu ' e nn industrial board , whose officers should have seats fn Parliament . 5 . That a meaiorial to government , and a petition to both Houses of Parliament , be drawn tip and presented
without delay . From events that had recently occurred in ar ei . hhoi r ing nation , labour had Become the questinn of ihe day , and was perhaps the le > st understood ; at any rate , the operatives understood it best , and t was necessary that the working classes should have some representatives in the Legislature ; at present tbey had only Fergus O'Connor , Thomas tf akley , aim ' Thomas Dtmo-mbe . ( Hear , hoar . ) lie submitted the resolutions he had revd aa an amendment to the resolution , ami in conclusion would again press on thf ra the neccfs ' ty of mak'tii . ' th' 8 a social and in / his trisil movement not a p ' lineal one . ( near , hear , )
Mr JonN . Kt . iiTON ( ladies ' ulioemaker ) , seconded Mr Campbeil ' 3 amendment , lie said at the same time he must say that he did not think the present wealthy men who sat In the House of Commons' , or flie government , would grant what waa asked in tl » resolutions ; and he should like to have p . provision made in the amendment , that should tha p . irliamcn > and government refuse , we ( the trades ) would take such measures as would create a parliament thai would grant our just rights . ( Il ° ar , hear . ) IIe ( Mr
Skelton ) perfectly nened that we should not havs p iii ica nvxed up with the economy of ir . wk ::,, . wt . he ueverU . eli'HS did wish to sea a great political move , raent prevail , apart from tlnir individuality as traces bodies He agreed fully in the proposition t list government was bound to find employment , at > d that there was plenty of 1 ,-md—but he did not Drink govern men c would fcrsnf . the land for the purpo-es ot the operative ' , until they were competed . ( Hear , hear ) lie now put it to Mr Campbell , would he asvee lo the suggestion hn bad made ?
Mr Campbell said—Should the government and parliament refuse their application , he would be prepared to go as far as any one . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr ILjlmes { ladieb' f-hoetnaker ) said—it was mere funian U Vi'k of such resolutions a ^ s these just . "uhmi't ' -d . It appeared co him that both the movnr and seconder expected iheir proposiiinns to be rejected by the government—then , he asked , why r , h (> n ! d they adopt such mere moonshine ? lie helievwd that nothine would be done for tlicm until tl ey had representative . ! in the House ot Commons . ( 3 ., oud cheers . ) Then let us at once adopt some such ta ' piMs measure as Universal St . fFrai'c ( Loud cheers . ) It was ridiculous fur men to say they w-uld
m > t interfere with politics—those sarno treri did not utter fhree sentences before they were talking politic . ( Hear , hear . ) It was useless mincing matterscapital w .- 'srepresen ' td ami why should not l > bour be represented also . ( L' ^ ud cheer ? . ) He believed this was the ifnio—the very nick of time—then let them sneak out . and representative government must be theirs . ( Greiii applause . ) iV'r Pekx . ( National Trades ) , said be rose to move an amendment to the motion before the ' chiir , except so far as regarded the appointment of a committee . It was perfectly useless to memorialise the present government , and further , he believed the trades could iclieve tlnmselves . H 13 amendment was simplv ,
That & committee be now farmed to devise Fome measure to relieve thf . tradis from tho widv-aprtaii misery that now prevails . The evil was of a twofeld character—social and political . Then unite and organise the trades ; it was useless to go up to the government in small bodies orlractions , they should go up in 1 heir millions . Queen ' s patronage , and reduction of tl : e duty on timber had bren proposed as remedies . They were perfectly insignificant , as compared with the ' enormity of the evil . ( Hear , hear . ) Tho first remedv was organisation ; and he believed tbey must go to polities —( hear , hear)—but above all things keep your eyes steady en France , as he . believed the men of that counlry would soon solve the great labour problem . ( Cheers . )
Mr Richardson ( carpenter ) , seconded Mr Peels amendment , and said , he did not think their grievances ever would be redressed irrespective of politics . ( Hear , hear . ) lie believed that over-taxation would prevent us competing with other cations , and theretore it was useless to think of curing our evils without political aid . Tho monetary question affect ' d ua much , so Ion ;; as our currency was based on gold so long should we suffer um ' er a deficient medium ot exchange , and this could only be altered by parliament , and unfortunately too many of its members were interested in the system to alter it , and hence the [ 'Coplo must ( ffut't tho chaDge for thi-msc-lvt's . The first step , in bin opinion , should be organisation and in-truction . and he wjuld say let tiiem have th > ir meetings anart from public houses , which would eivo
their mtmlni ' s more time for thought aud voflcc . ion — ( loud shouts of ' hear , hear' )—and kciuns en politics , as well as mattors immediately connected with the economy of ; their trade . ( Loud cheers . ) They Blight as well think of separating the air from tho water as to think of redressing their grievances without , the aid ot politics . ( Hear , hear . ) Mr O'Leauy ( gilder ) , said he could not agree with the extreme politics advocated here . At thtk last raeetinc he found that the Charter was proposed as the primary remedy ; now he was a Charti .-t , but he could not agree to its being pressed as a trades question . ( Hear , hear . ) Hu advised them to memorialise the parliament , » Ed ii their prayer was not granted , he would fay tke -question of the Charter would come in perfect order .
Mr-Jonathan DuNCAKjhaving obtained permission to address the meeting , said he thought the prvertv of the operatives might be remedied in six months . England possessed a productive power more than fqual to all her wants—( hecr , hear)—well then the error Jay in the distribution . Mr Duncan ( hen made many remarks atiout tlve metal currency , and proposed a scheme for a paper one . Mr VV ' iLUAMa ( carverand gilder ) , said the body he represented were of opinion * hat no good could be done until they obtained political power . Mr Wil
Hams her- * read a resolution , embracing the several points of tke People ' s Charter , adopted at a meetitig of the carvers and gildei s bedy . He said the princi pies iaiif down in tlie resolutions 'before the delegates , had been talked of , and the ground gone over again ? Rd again , and it was now time they should take the hullbythe '( horn 9 . ( Hear , hear . } And if no oilier delegate proposed the principles captained in theresolution he had read , which had ba « n adopted ac the trades house to which he belorigc-d , he decidedly would- ( Loud eheers . )
Mr Garter ( carpenter ) , said , when he saw th * circular convening that meeting , it was just the thing to getthftradca together . He was-not prepand for extreme political ni * asuieF , in ccoac-xioE with tr ades matters , lif nee , he hoped tliey would Bteor clear of politics , ar . d adopt moderate measuree his remedies were emigration and abrogating &e tinibtr duties . ( Much ) ai ?;; hter ) Air Esseev ( tailor ) , aaid he theudit Mr Campbell s amendment should be amalgamated with the original n solution ; look to France and you will see they are taking up trades' questions . < Hear , hsur . ) yvel , as the continent had bran referred to . look to Auatria—there they had refused to nnv-w ™ fl-it politic , ?

remedj-Mt Terry ( weaver ) , said he agreed with the original resolution , he did not think they should shackle the committee , but let us supplicate the Government ; he never could agree to emigrate unless he took the noblea out with him . ( Uear hoar ) Mr Couwom ( painter ) , said . as delegates , they were bound to give the opinion ot their several bodies not their own individual opinions , the first stop ' was orf anj !< ation ; lie agreed with almost ail that hud bern recommended except emigration , nfth that he Pera could agree .

resolutions submitted by Mr Camp bell should not be agreed to at once , but ahould be taken for discussion to their several bodies . ( Cheers . ) , The Gbjibuan announced that the time for adjournraent —( half-past ten ) had arrived— "hen a delegate moved :- 'That the discussion be continued for another hour ; ' which was seconded , and unanimously carried . , Mr Isaac Wji / wn ( shoemaker ) , rose , . and requested that ; the rider he bnd moved at the J » st meeting to the resolution now before the chair , be read .

Mr Wasos fald , his trade was willing , if the mO " tion was carried , to do all in their power to carry it into practical e-fT'ot . ( Hear , hear ) As to the other matte is , they bad been iterated and reiterated , uniil lie was sick of hearing them ; and he thought the trades must bs satisfied that tbey could not obtain anything , except b > that great measure , Universal Suffrage . ( Uear , hear . ) Mr Jamks ( bootmaker ) , aaid a few words , confirmatory of wliat had fell from Mr Wilson . Mr HuMPiiniRS ( United Trades ) , aaid , he agreed with Mr Peel ' s amendment , and contended for a national organisation—auch an organisation was essential before they could obtain the Suffrage . lie aaid , appoint a committee to Jujgest the remedies . It was useless to wait on the government , and ridiculous to think of emigrating , when , they had plenty of laild at home . ( Cheers . )
Mr Dklafoeck ( weaver ) , thought much time had been w . isted . 'Phut it would be well to appoint the committee and sach trade forward their instructions to it . Mr Reafdon ( tailor } hoped the committee would be appointed to-night , and that Mr Campbell's , and other measure * , wou'd be submitted to it .

que , hnwtver , took a series .. f most important rrsolutinns . by which this body p ! aet ( i itself at the head of the movement . They resolved to neefc daily , msfead of veeklv : to send a petition t » tbe town council , roolaiming the armine , not odIv of the middle-nlnas Civic Guird , but of all citi zens in district " . In the evenine s ^ me rioting took place in tbe strefif ; . . The people cried : Vive la Republi cs and a « sembled in masses around the Town Hall . Several arreats took place , but nothing of any consequence occurred .
Among the individuals arrested , there were two Germans—n political refufee , M . Wolff , and a worta in ? man . Now , you must kno ^ thai there existed here , m Brussels , a German workintr men'a society , in which political and social questions were di «» rushed , » nd a German democratic newspaper . The GerrnaiiH , rfBiOent in Bnifae '? , were known for being eenerallv very active and uncompromising Demo , crats . They were almost all members of the De « mncratic Ai'nciatinn , and the vice-president of the German society , Dr Marx , waa also vice president of thn Democratic Association .
The government , perfectly aware of the narrow sentiment of nationalism prevalent » mon ? n certain class of the nopu ! ation of a a-rall country like Be ' eium . immediately proflted by these cimimstances " in order to spread the rumour that the while a » ita ' tion for tho Republic had h » cn got up by the German «—men who had nnthine to loose , \ rbo had ken f-xpMled from thr . e or four rountrina for thfir turpi . tudes , and who intenderl to place thpmselvps a j ; ju head of the intended Be ' griun Republ ' c . Thi 3 pre . cious piece of news was reported on Monday through the whole town , and in less than a day the whole mass of- tho ghopnnracy . wlm fm-ru the l > ,. Jy of the Civic . Guard , raised one unanimous outcry against t ' -ie G ^ rrnan rebels , who wanted to revolutioYise ' there har > r > v Belaian fathei-land .
The Gerraa 'S had fixed » place of mpetin ?; n a ciffeehonsf , where every oner f them was to " bring the fastest news from Paris . But the outciy of thl fihopocrafs was so great , and tho rumours of " gover nment measures against the Germans were so " man ; . fold , that they were ob'iged t » give up even this recent mrans of communieating wiih each other . On Sunday evenini , already theio'ife hid sac-C 2 c ( I * "i in prevailing upon tho publican , propri . tor of ? he German societ . vjs room , to refuse them the room for wry future meeting .
_ The Germans behaved perfectly well during the ; e times . Exposed to the mosfc p < tty persecutions of tlie police , they yet rested at fhnir posr . Th y assisted every evening at the meetins ot th « Demn . cratic Association . They abstained from all tumultuous crowding in the streets , but they showed , though personally exposing thrm'elves . that in the hour of danger they would not abandon their BeJ » if , n brethren . When , after a Few days , the extraordinary agitation of Sunday and Monday had ceased , when ' ppopleh . id returned to their work , when the
government had recovered from their first terror , then commnnced another series of persecutions asainst the Germans- The government published order ? , accordinc to which ail foreign working men , from thf-momi-nt thi y had no work , worn to be expelled tl . e c » untry ; and all foreigners indiscritninafely , wh"fe 1 a « sports were out of rr
Not only against working men ont of work , but also against women , they commenced their persecution . A young German D ^ rnncrr . t , who lives , according ; to the French and Bt-lgian custom , with a French lady , just as married people live—acd whose presence ad 73 rnssels appears to cave iraportunrd tie police—waa suddenly expostd to a apriea of persecutions , directed against his distress . She havins no passport—and who ever before thought in Belgium o !' a-kinR pa-sports from a woimn ?—was threatened with immediate expulsion ! and the police declared that it was not fi > r her sake , but for the fake of the individual with wh'ra sbe Jived . Seven times in three days , the Comrsbsary of Police was at her house ; she hud to f ass at his rflice several times , and was sent to the central police rfh ' ce , escorted by an a ** ent—and if an influential Belgian Democrat had not interposed , she would certainly have been obliged to leave .
But a ' . ! this is nothing . The persecutions agaiDsfc working mep , —the spreading of rumours about such and such an individual to be arrested , or about a general chase alter the Germans to be made in all public houses of ihe town on Tuesday evening , all this is nothing compared with what I have now to repnrt . On Saturday evenin ? , Dr M . nrx , amongst others , received a royal ordinance , ordering him to quit the country within twenty-four hours . He was engaged in arranging bis trunks for the journey , when , at one o ' clock in the morning , snd in spite of tho law which forbids tho vio ' aticn of the dwelling of aciti > z < n from sunset to sunrise , ten police agents , armed , headed by a commissary nf police , broke into his
house , si-zed upon him and led him to the Townhall prison . No reason wasglvtn but that his passport was not in order , though h * presented them at least three passports , and though he had resided in Brussels for three years ! flu was kd tiff . Ilis wife , s ;' zjd with terror , instantly ran to see a Belgian lawyer , who always ( ffered his set vices lo peisecuted forrigners— the same whose trietidly interposition has he-n mentioned above , —M . Jottrand , prtsiilent of the Drtuoenictic Association . On her return , sho met witli a friend , a Belgian , M . Gi * ot . He aeeoaipanied her home . At tun door of Dr Marx ' a house , they found two of tho policemen who had arrested her husbnnd . Where hiive you taken mv liUfb < D ( l ,
asked she ? Why , if you will Mhvr us we ' will show you where he i ^ . They kd her . alon ? with M . Gi . JOt , to the Towiilmll , but instead of f ' uitiliing their promise , they delivered up b' th tf them to tlia police , ar . d they ivereput inlopmox . Mrs M : ;» x , who hail left her three little chiidrtn at home , with a servant only , wns led into a room where she found a > ct ck prostitutes of tke lowest order , with whom she had to pass the night . Next mi-rnin ^ she was led into s room where she had to stay threa hour 3 without fire , shivering with cold . M . Gi ^ ot was also retained . M . Mars had been put in' -o a rooa * with a raving madman , whisni he was oWiged to h ' gbt every momtnt- ^ The rcost brutal treatment on the part of the jailors was joined to tnia infamous conduct .
At tbrce o clock in the afternoon , at last , they were conducted before the judge , who very goon ordered their liberation- And of what had Mrs Marx and M . Gigot been indicted ? Of vagabondage , bccau&e neither of them had a passport in theii pqekots ! M . Marx was equally liberated , and ordered to leave the country the same evening :. Thus , after having teenAvantonly irapiUoned during eighteen of the twevty-four hours Jefc him to settle his affairs ; after having had not on y himself , but also his wife , aepaiaicdforcil that time from his three cbiidrei 1 , the elde > t of v \ boni has not attained her fourth year , he was sent away without u , minute to put kis affaire in order .
M . Gigot , on his arrest , had only loft the prison the day before . He had been seized , aloo ? with three democrats from Liege , at six o'clock on Monday morning , in an hotel , and arrested for vagabondage , because they bad no passports . They were ordered to be liberated on 'iue ^ day , but yet retained till Thursday against all bw . Ove of them . M . 'JVdoscn is yet in prison , accu ? ed of nobody knows what . Both he and M . Wolff will be eitbec " libarated or placed before the tribunal in the course of this week . I must say , however , that ( he Belgian workin » men and several other democrats of that nation , particularly J , l . Jottrant ' , uavu behaved exceedingl y well toirards the persecuted Germans . They have shewn themselves quite above all petty sentiments of nationality . They saw in us not foreigners but democrats .
I hear ihat there J 3 an order of arrest out against a Jif-gian working man and brave democrat M de Guasco . Another , M . Dassy , arrested on ' Sunday ast , J » r rebellion , wag before the tribunal yesterday ; his judgment n r . ot yet ^ pvonounced . _ I am daily and hourl y «• xpecting my order of expulsion , 11 not worse , for nobody can foretell what ikis Belgic-Russian government ia about to dare . I hold n » yselr r .-ady to Wp nt a moment ' s notico . Such u the position of a German democrat in this frco country , which , as the papers aay , lias nothing to envy in the French Repubic , Salutation and Fraternity . lour old Friend , Brussels , March 5 ti , .
