Louis Philippe and all his family have arrived in England. Ai. Guizot was als in that country. The principles of the Revolmion had extended throughout the whole of France and all the departments were going it favor of a Republic. All the titles had been plaiked from the nobility. and the llouse-of Peers uholi-hed. A decree for a Natiotal Goavooioo has been issued, on the assembly of which the Provisional Government. will resign its functions to the Permanent Government which may be esiablished by it. Univeisal suffrage and vote by ballot are to govern the elect idns. The French funds have fallen enor inously.
