Lord John Russel's resignation wits
positively decided upon on Saturday
evening.
Despatches announcing bis enntem-
g ated resignation were forwarded to
uldin, the intelligence appearing in the
Dublin papers of Saturday, March 11.
Cabinet Councils were brld'in Down,
ing-street on Saturday evening, ond du
ring the day Lord Palmerston held a
conference with Mr. Bancroft, the U.8.
Minister.
The Cabinet, it was understood, had
under consideration important conces
sions to Ireland, and a considerable ex-
tension of the elective franchise, in the
United Kingdoms was talked of.
Douglas Jermld, immediately after
bis arrival at Paris, had an interview
with Lamartine, who received him in
tbe most cordial manner. It was re
ported that lie had been commissioned
to repair to Paris by a committee of Lib
erals of London.
Algiers Proclaimed by the Dae tPAn-
male a Part of the French Republic.—By
the latest intelligence from Algiers, wc
are informed that on receipt of the as
tounding news from Paris, there was n
tremendous excitement among the mili
tary in the city and immediate neigh
borhood. ^ The officers of the Chasseurs
«T.4 i/fynr immediately, together with sev
eral other regiments, among which were
those of the ArtilUrie JLrgrrc were the
most prominent, declared a Cnnanimitr
their adhesion to ilic existing slate of
things in France. The Marseillaise and
iho Parisciuue were sung with great cn
thusiastn.
The Moniteur Algeriacn of the 29ili
February, had an iinnouncemcnt from
‘ the Governor General, the Duke d’Au-
male, of the news received from Paris.
There were indeed two notices, the first
being of a despatch from Paris, dated on
the afternoon of the 24th. informing him
of the abdication of the King in favor of
the Count of Paris, and the Du
d’Orleans proposed ns Rrgruf, to which
the Governor General adds the follow
ing note:
*'Thc Governor General knowing the
patriotism of all, adds nothing to this
news.. Nothing can change our duties,
or uflect our duties to France.
*' Algiers, Feb. 27.” H. D’Orleans.
The second notice says:
'* The Governor-General has not re
ceived from France any official commu
nication; but he is informed that the
following dispatch has been addressed
to all prefects and sub-prefects. (Here
the Governor-General publishes a dis
patch, announcing the formation of the
provisional government.) The Govern
or-General can only repeat what lie said
yesterday. Nothing is changed in our
duties towards France; the population
nud the army will wait with the great
est calm for the orders of the mother
country. H. D’Orleans.

** In 1792 it was not the entire popu
lation who entered into |>osses*ion of the
Gpvrrnnteig. It was the middle classes
only who svisb^f to enjoy it. The Tri
umph of lhe maldlc class at that time was
•goiislical, as tho triumph of every oli-
was necessary for it to operate a strong
diversion against die advance of the peo
ple by precipitating it (lhepeople) on the
field pi battle, in order to prevent it from
entering into the exercise of its own go
vernment. This diversion was the war.
War was the idea of the Monarch in ns and
the GinmJins. It was not the idea of
most advanced democratics, who wish
ed like us die sincere regards and all
die complete reign of die people itself,
comprizing in that name ull classes with
out exclusion or preference, as the na
tion is composed.
“In 1792 the people was only the in
strument of the revolution. To-day the
revolution is made by the people nnd
lor the people. The people is itself the
revolution. In entering into it, it car
ries into it its new necessities of labor,
of industry, of instruction, ofngricullure,
of commerce, of morally, of property, of
cheap living, ofnnvigation, and in short,
of civlization, which are all the necessi
ties of pence. The people and peace
are but one word.
