IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE. REVOLUTION IN FRANCE. The Provisional Government. PARIS, February 25. The Monitor publishes in very large type the following Proclamation of the Provi sional Government to the people A retrograde and oligarchical Govern ment has -been overthrown by the heroism -of the people of Paris. The Government has fled, leaving after it a trace of blood. which precludes for ever its return. The blood of the people has flowed a. in July; but this time the generous blood shall not be deceived. It has achieved a national anb popalur Government, in ac cordance with the right, the progress, and the trill of this Areat and generous people. A Provisional Government sprung by acclamation and urgency firom the voice of 'the people, and the deputies of the dif ferent departments in the ,sitting of the 24th is invested momentarily with the care of the organizing and the securing the national victory. I is composed of 31. M. Dupont I de l'Eure), Lamartine, Cremieux, Arago (of the Institute), Ledru Rolin. Garnier Pages, and Marie. The Government has for its Secretartes M. M. Armnd Marrast, Louis Blane, and Ferdinand Flocon. Thesecitizens have not hesitatedl one instant in accepting tho patriotic iissioi imposed upon them by urgency, When blood 1lows. when the capital of France is on fire, the'comntission of the provisional Government is derived from tbe public peril and the public safety. The whole of. France will understand it, and will afflord it the concurrence of patriotism. Under the popu'ar government pr -claimed by the Provisional Goveratnent, every citi ven is a magistrate. Frenchmen, give the world the example that Pa-ris has given to France ; prepare yourselves by order and by contidenco in yourse!ves, for th'e potierful instittions which you are to be called upon to give to yourselves. The Provisioral Government wills for a REPUBLIc, saving the ratilictiontis of the French people, which is tube immediately consulted, Neither the people of Paris nor the Provisional government, pretends to sub etiture their opinion for the opinion of the citizens on the definitive frni of the gov ernment which the sovereignty of the na sion will proclaim. The unity of the nation fortned hence forth, of all the classes of the nation which - compose it ; The government of the nation by itself; Liberty, equality, and fraternity for principles ; The people for motto, and mot d'ordre.

[ F.o~n Galignan's Messenger, bFeb. 25.] The information which we hasve to lay before or readers of the events of yest-r day will be round of great interest, bioth as regards some of the~ details and their re suIts. By about nine o'clock in the tnorninta, people assembled in constd erablet numtbers i the quarters St. Denis and. St, Martin. and at~ten o'clock they hadl suacceedled itn crectina tbarricadtes at the Puirt' St. D~ei. int the Rue tde Clery, the itne Nave Saint Euistache, the Rue do Cadran'. atnd the IRue du Petit Carreau. .A fusillade took place at somt'e of three baurricaides, between the poputlace antd the mniacip~tlI guards. Tw~o yountg men were killed, arnd ai mnti eipal guard disarrand. Several municipal .guards were pursued to the Plce du Catire by youn:; men armed witht sticks. The guatrds lired, and wounded several personis. A woman the rpelative of a tradsman, w'as we understand, killed on the spot. Ae. cordinig to the Patrie, the oflicer :f a pa ton of the Natiotnal Guard, w ho- was otn the place, wvas so indignant, that he criedr "To arms !" whereutpon the Municipal Guard heat a retret. Two hours l:ter, one of our reporters passed through the Place dii Unire-. It was thten perfgptly calm in facet, nor a anul was to bie seen ex ce'pt three National G-uards in the Passage due Caire. At the Porte St. Denis, the troops chtarg ed' -the people. anel the barricadi' ini the Rus Cadratn, at the enttrance to the Rite Monimatre, wvasattackedl by the Munici pal Guard, who fired on the moh, whreby a child was killed, and two wvoirmen and three woamen were, it is said, seriously wounded. - At 11 o'clock the crowd wvas dense in the vicinity of the Porte Martin; andi there were cries of 'Down with Guizant l' andI 'Long live Reform!' A detachment of troops fired. on the mo'o, compelling it to retreat. At J2, all the quarters of the markets alliot of the Ist Regiment on the Marches les Innocens, besides dotachments of the qunicipal Guards, horse and font, and two Ietachments of cuirassiers. Two pieces >f cannon were on the spot, one :of which iras directed towards the Rue Montmatre, the other towards the Rue do lI F)rronne rie, They were teady to " empi -ed at 3 moments ntmice. The 1. amarket was uccupied by a brtalion ol the 1st Regi ment. On the P;aco dlt Uaronsel, the horse Municipal Guard chargeI the groups who were assembled there; but the people, after dispersing on one spot, immediately re-as sembled at another. At the barricade itn the Rue dto Clery, which was hall destroyed, the Municipal Guard tired, and several persons were wounded. Ini the Rue de la Cite and the Rue de Constantino the troops had to disperse the moh. On the Place do Chatelet, and the Pont an Change a fusillade was kept up for some. time. In the Rue des Filles du Calvaire barricades were established, but were destroyed by the troops. Barricades which were cfonstructed in the Rue du Te-nple were destroyel bly the troops about four o'clock. A chef do battallion was, it is said, killed. The Place des Victories sad the Place du Carrousal were occupied by strong do. tachments, both of dragoons and infantry. The Patrie relates that, in passing along the former, the pickets of the National Guard cried, " Down with Guizot ! Long live Refor." They proceeded to the Place de Petits Peres. and from thence to the Rue Montmartre. They were followed by an itnanoise crowui, who alternately chnttted the s-Marseillaise," and cried "Vivo la Garde Nationale !" At about that time charges were made onl the assembled people itn the Place St. Andres tIes Arts. the Place de l'Ecale (10 Medicine, nd in all the adjningin streets as for as the Place 3laubort. Pickes of troops of the lioc, national anti monicipal gniards. zuards. were stationed at Itnost all the :orners of the streets. 'The Patrie asserts that, at the corner >f Rue Lepelletier, M.

Iown with Guizot!" In o-ne street, which leads to he Place des Pettis Peres, some National Luards also prevented the troops front inleritg. On the Bnulevard, between the Chateaud' Eau atd the Ambigu, a superior tlicer ordered the National Guard to :arge tle people; but, says the Patrie, they refused, In the course of the day M. Cremieux, the deputy. went along the Quai du Lou re t the Chamherof Deputies, followed by 400 Nation it Guards, in unifurmt with out arms. Itt the tnorning, a post oaf the.Municipial was asseniiedin- the viciiniy of the Min itry of Fnreign Affairs. Th Ie cried inces santly, --Down 'Ayith G..uizOt ! Long hvre Reform !" A strong force of the National Guard ocettpiedl the Arcades anti Rue die Rivoli dring the day. A lartge crowd was s sembled there, and it amused( itsE. in shouting, 'Long live thme National Gtt rd "' In the course of thte asfternootn, the mist attacked a body of the Municiptal Gn;ard. which was stationed uder the eatewaty in ta street int the M arais, and a sttall tnumtber of Nationtal Guards.ha~ving come up, as sisl in isartming them.

"On a donne do arms!" As the crowed was assembled before the lintel of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and were uttering the usual cries, they were fired on without any previous notice, and fifty-twoo persons ell dead or woun led. A cry of vengeance was immediate ly uttered by the people-dhe victims of an abominable ainhuscale, and several of them hastened into the neighbouringstreets shouting, ''To arms ! to aris! We. are being assassinated!" Shortly after we saw a cart arrive at the officers of the Na -ional, containing dead biodies. The ve hicle was surrounded by people, who were erying, and weeping, and full .of indig nation and who showed us the bloody bo dies, crying. "They are assassiners who have slain them! We will avenge them! Give us armes! armes!" The torches, casting their gldre liy turneson the bodies and on the people, added to the violent emotions of the scene. M. Garnier Pa. ges. being at that moment in the officers of the National, addressed the people. He promised that he would employ his efforts to oblain for the people thus attacked the satisfaction which is required from these impious and strocious ministers. The fu neral train left our officers, conducted and lighted in the same manner; they conveyed the bodies to distant quarters.' M. do Courtais, deputy of the Opposi-_ tion, hastened to the Boulevard des Capu cines to ascertain the causes of this shame!j ful butchery.-He informs us tnat the col onel of the regiment which had caused the firing to take place .vas in consterna ti-m at what had occured. le thus ex plained what he called a deplorable impru dence. At the moment at which the crowed arrived,-a bullet from a gun, which went off' by adcident in the garden of the hotel. broke the leg of the lietenant colonel's horse. The officer cotnmarnding the de tachment believed that it was an attack, and inmediately with a guilty want of reflection, commande:1 his men to fire This officer was immediately placed in prison." [From the Pacis National. Feb. 24,1 M. Lemercier, Peer of Francc, and Colonel of the 10th legion, having stated to a batallion of the legioni that the emete was crushed, and he National.Guard was called on to give a testimony of confidence to the government, one of the National Guards stepped forward and declared that they would not do it, and that they all desire a change of mitistry and reform. -These words were received with accla. mations. . an tne ralace Royalitis niuisicijpial guard attempted to charge the people, but were, prevented by the the National Guard, The employers of the ostrois at iiie bar riers yesterday rpceivedl orders to remove; the barriers are' occupied by the National Guard. A bout two o'clock, the colonels of the twelve legions. sent a deputation to the kintg informing him thiat it was impossible to preserve the tranquility of the city un less prompt and uigniticative consession coutld be made. Jtust before seven oclock, art immense umber of infantry marched- ttp to the Bouleo'ards, tow ards the Porte St. Denij and other strong dletachmetnts occupied tife vict of tthe Ministry of Foreign Affatirs. Soefirinig took place between the sol diers and the people at the barricade, at the entrance of the Fau~turg Monmatre. From seven to ten o'clock the people coninuwed to erect barricades in dilferent streets, and iu some places there was fi ring. At about ten o'clock, the troops were all under arms as hitherto, oppo-site to the ho tel nf the Minisrry for Foreign affairs. A larehbody of cavolry was drawn up in the mi'dle of the streets, andI a dense mass 0m inatntry was drawn round the whole of the hotel. larums were heard. nnd a tbody of in finiry ad vancinig. As they approached. it was peceivedihat they were proceeded- by a body of the people, all armed in dlifferent ways, and bearing 'Ito tri-color flag. The people and this body of soldiers advanced towards to soldiers on guard, andi, after some explanatins, accompanied by shan kinig of hands an'd crossing of swords, in the military style of salutation, all th~e sol diers, on masse. sheathedin their savords, and quitted the hotel, leaving the people to act as they pleased. A'l that the latter did was to cheer vehemently, while a yong man mounted up over the gate and took dowtn, amild loud cheeris, the flag which was waiving over it. Shortly af ter this, a body of natnional Guard caine from the Rtue des Copucines amidst loud cheering. and took their stations. opposite the liotel, and as the cavanlry retired io wards the Madeline. Everywhere. thes soliers along the boulevards took off ieir bayon~ets from the muskets, which, they then resnrvedl, appeared much to ent joy the scene. WVhilst 'his wits goitng on, the people wanitonly set fire to the hack ney-coach stati)tn uearly opposite she hoel, in the evening, a groutp of young men,. headei by tri-color flags aind torche-a, and ted by a captain, a, lieutenant, anid a sutb olicer of the Nvuinnal Guard, wenat to UnssaruineI de Neunilly, to demnandl the re lease of some persons wvho had been at' rested. On beinig asstured that they haed been released, ihey quietly dispersed. An attack wvas made on the Hotel de Ia Chanellerie, the windows were smashted, nd the crowed insisted on the windows beitg illuminated. Ain attack has-been directed agaitnst Mount Valerien-some sheds-were torn don. At, ,t.e Bn.e for.....ildren ave been.:. and their btedis are opP house. The Debats sas' that the collion which took place at the Ministry of Foreign Ar, fairs, was enused by a crowd. headed with torches and Mlgi, atternpiing to force its way throutIh the ranks of the soldiers. It says nothing ofithe number of persous killed and wouided. After midnight the tocsin was soun. ded in the Church St. Gernan des Pres. and the rappel was beaten in several quarters. The followine declaration wasJesterday signed in the 4th Legion of the National Guard. "We, the undersigoed. all belonging to the National Guard.. declare that. in the midst- of the troublps (of the capitol. the summons to assemble haviiig been beaten. we the protectors of order, shell proceed whereever we may be ordered to go to prevent or arrest the effusion of blood; but at the same time. being protec tors of liberty, we declare that our object is not in any way to approve of the minis teral policy, either at home or abroad, or to lend any support to a ministry which, on the contrary, we blame with all the energy of good citizens. We do not de liberate under armes-we merely state our war of thinking. before we go to our post." Yestcrday evening, at about eight o'clock, an immense crowdl proceeded to the residence of . Odilon Barrot, and entered the court yard of his house, and many ofihem his apartment, in the most peacable manner. A deputation advanced tow.ards M. Odillon Barrot, who was at the time in company with many of his colleagues. . 0. Barrot addressed the deputation as follows: "My fiiends, I tink I see your fathers of July 1830; it is a displiy of the same courage-the same generosity (unanimous cheers,) And to be like them, worthy of liberty, be calm in triumph; that is the character whicji is suitable to the cause of right and liberiy.'. Loud cries of "Long live Odillon Bar rot," were then raised. 51. Garnier Pages added a few energetic words to pursua de the crowed, to retire peaceably. The shouts re-cornmenced with increased strength, aird were taken up by the people in the Rue de la Ferme des Maturius. From the A ugusta Constitutinnalists. TuE WILMOT Paotrtsn AND THlE WHIGs. It is a part of the tactics of the Whigs. and those whu are "aiding and abetting" that cause under false colors, whilst they are continually harping upon the course of a portion of the Democratic party at North who are .in favor of tle Wilnot Proviso, to keep perfectly dark' as to the positioni of Northern Whigs upon thesams subject.

While ti fe' Democratic pa pers North of Mascon's andI Dixon's line till continue to advocnte the odious doc trine of t he Wilmnot Proviso, there is not a sinigle Whig jourmitl from the same quarter, that we have yet seen, that ha-, dared to oppose that mesur-and many of theta are the opcn-monthed adivocates of the nrost odious and' disgusting; Aboli tion principles.

We appeal to tihe vote upon the Putnam Prviq,, to Hlorace Greely, Daniel Web str, Henry Clay, and the Boston Whig fr the answer. We again command to the attention of Southerrn ' Whtigs, anti alsoi some of our Democratic friends in this State. who still seem to be upon the "anxious bench," the Alaama Resolutions, among which we find the following: "That as Democrats we are proudt to find that every statesman in the non-slave holding States, who has dleclared opinions favorable to the consqtitutioneal equality of Southern citizens .in acquited territory, is of our own political brotherhod; atnd that every pub'lic meetina, or oither bodly, p0 litinl or lagislative, which has taken sides for US, iI withotui excepti'on, also Demno craic; and we coimmenid this f~ict to the Whigs of mIte South, as an important ele metnt to bie coni-liererl by them, when they are eh.,osinig frienmds, aillies or catndi daes,, "wit hotit distinction of parties-" Fine 'Flour.-.The lJlumbuire Republi cn of the 22 instant saysi; We ha-l our attention drawn to a lot of Flour on Drys thy utmter dnay. that alppeared' to be putt up in remarkable fine order.

Not withstandizg this, she wvas by-no means, insensible to tihe flatteries and aztentions of the sterner sex, and fro;m-.the -following anecdote, wvhich we flid in the History of the Church of England, by the Rev. Ed ward Rutlege, it seems, that when ad. vatnce'l itn life, she did not like to be called old. "Ia thle course of her reign, died Bishop Rudde, of whom a-sinigular ane dote is told. Having towards the close of Elizabeth's roign preached a sermon nor - vouzs and unadorned before her, Whiagift assured him, he gave so much satisfaction, as to merit the reversion of the-Metropolt tana Chair. "That is strange"'said he " for my discoorso had notimueb 1o atlract the fancy." "Her M1ajesty" repliell Whiagift "was iln her earlier days, fond of wit and eloquence, but she now loves pilain matter, which touches the heart." Relying ont this, he preachted another sermon before hier. soon after oan the duties of old age; "when the grinders are few, and they that~*~ look out of the witndows are darkened" 1t is hardly necessary to add, that he heard no mnore of his advancement." So wrttes the grave historian, and the fact which he relates is of great importance. Let no un gallant person, either priest or layman2 presumtte to remnind a respectable old matd of her age. For truly, she knows it, and why insult her by telling her? Onar devil whispers, that it woul be prudent also not to talk of age, before a poor old hachelor. If he hen anman of spirit, he may chastise'; yalt for youur insolene. Increuse of Business in Charleston. -Thie E~vening New's of the 2.3rd instant safe .
