THE REVOLUTION — METiIOFOMTAN DEMONS I RAIION. The Rejitaf Association have just issued another manifesto '' to the People of belaud," feigned by Mr.

Maurice O'Connell, and Mr. Setretsry Ray. This document contains llie aveiage quantity of slar'g advice to abs'ain jrom acts of outrage — to beware of Government spi< s, and not to be Lurried into excessei, by the wild speeches or writings of any party whats ever, Here is the state paper itself:— " Fellow-countrymen — the value of what is occurring in Europe at this moment, is to us immense, as it is to the people of every other afllicled and oppressed country in the world Nothhg can prevent us from sharing in the benefits of the present gieat movement for popular lights and lational liberty but auy excess of \iolcnce om our parts. 13e not hurried into criminality or disobedience to the laws by the wild speeches or writings of uny party whatsoevt rBeloved fellow-countrymen — if it were possible that you could be fooled or led astray by reckless, and, perhaps* by paid disturbers, what would be the consequences ? You would show that you doubted your own plorious principles of constitutional agitation {or your rights, and you would bring swift and certain destruction upon the heads of multitudes union? you. Secondly, you would throw away the present glorious opportuniiy of making your just, and right, and law/v! demands tor yMir own I'urliamen — be attended to and promptly conceded without the loss of one ptecious life to Ireland — without one health being maile desolato among her people, and with ceitain aud enduiing benefit, piosperuy. and h ipi<n ods to the empire. Do not — oh ! we knew you will not, listen to any er.e who would lead you to ruin, and blast all the fair chances there are before us. Let the Association which was founded by him whom you so loved and confided in, and who so deaily loved you— let that body, acting as it doei upon his principles, still I c liaier.ed to by you, and, together we shall be enabled successfully to call upon England, for her own lake, and her own immediate inteiest as well as ours, to do ju4ic(.—-lull, ample, aad entire jus* tice to our unhappy land, by the immediate restoration of our Pdiliament. Signed by order, Maurice 6'Connell, M.P, r Chairman. T. M. Ray, Secretary. Corn-Exehingc rooms, March 8, 1848." It was cuircntly reported last night and this day that the Government lud icsolved upon issuing a proclamation forbidding the demonstration from being held, and that measures were being taken to strengthen the garrison in the event of the proclamation be ug disregaided by the people. It is needless to cay that as yet there is no foundation for the fii3f pait of the statement— but as to the latter, theie 13 no doubt whatever that the Executive aie fully prepared for any contingency that may aiise out of this mischievous movement, and that due p ecautions have been already taken, to guard agaimt au attempted breach of the peace. It is said — but Ido not vouch for the truth of the report— that a contiact has been entered into with the City of Dublin Stcnm Packet Company, for tho conveyance hither from Woclwicb, of a large reinforcement of art'llery, which, it is ananged, is to arrive hero hy the 14th instant. The Gth (Enniskillcn) Dragoons are under immediate orders, for the meliopolis, andaro expected here to moirow, or the day following. On Fnday the 55th regiment now stationed at Templemore ( will reach Dublin by the Great Southern and Western Railway. From that day the guni-on wilt consist of the following regiments, viz. — The 6th Dra« goon-, the 7th Hussais, the 17th Luiteis, and a troop of the 4ih Light Draaoons— a troop of Horse Artillery, and several companies of foot ditto, with fit Id lmtt< rieb ; the 49th, 55th, 7 kh, 75'h, 85th regtrneiits of loot, and the depot of the 7th Fusiliers. It is to be presumed that tlie efremony of guardmounting on St. Patrick's Day, according to the old practice at least — will be dispensed with on the coming anniversary, Hitherto it was the usage for the gnaul to troop with two bands, headed by ill"- LieutenantGeueral commanding, ai.d the whole of the military staff. In this state they pi oceeded to the Upper Cos ■ tie Yard, the Viceroy bvinjr stutioned at the window over the grand portico, jeady 30 acknowledge eitliei the groans or clue s of tie excited rabble, in propoition to the amount of his populaiily At the best of times the afl'air wan little littler than broad farce. At present it might be something wor&c.
