We exhort all loval citizens to accept the situation in a peaCvfnl and ealm manner and aw.\.t tne decision of the Un tit' SMtvS Government. Tiie experience of the world so far as to t»ie Gr -..i American Republic, and t s• i l whieh governs it ass'ir-s »wry one that jnstice will be done. !

Great credit ii due to Her llajeflty and ber advisers for the ■tand taken by tbem whereby a cataetrophe of such magnitude u

cannot be expressed was avoided. We hope that the provisional Government will act in a eoneiliatory spirit and endeavor in everv wav to restore confidenoe au>i the fc*eii:.g of seconty, and we hop-e that the fjllowcrs of the provis. >nal G >vernment will conduct themselves in a m>‘>d‘*rate and quiet manner and give no cause for irritation or di-s»īisfaction during ihe inter gnum. , We under-tand that Repre»entative- oftheprovisi.»nalGovernment will proceetl to the 8tates tomorrow bv one nf the Inter Island steamers. and that by the same opportunity nn envoy ol Hsr Majestv will g > t'>rward to M ashington together with the official dispatches. Tiie Kepresentatives of the Eumpean powers will aiso notify their respectiveGovernments and await instructions. * The Advertiser with its usual inelmaliou to be incorrect states , this morning that Her Majesty and the Cabinet Ieft town last | night, while the truth is that Her Majesty remaiued all night at the Palaee aud the resi>ective min- j isters spent last night in their res- , pective little beds—or at least > ought to. NVe never wili guarantee tbem m suoh matters. — The Attorney General and the Marsbal made digmfied addresses to the forces bef>>re ordermg them to disp>erse and were enthusiastically cheered. The poliee station was theu delivered to the provieional government represented i by Mr. J. Soper. We learn that the provisional government has refused to allow any Representative of thc Queen to take passage on the “Claudine” whieh is to leave f<>r San Francisco to-morrow raornmg. A mail will be carried lhough, and dispatches ; will be forwarded in that way. It j is reported that Messrs. W. C. | Wilder, L. A. Tnurston. C. L. i Carter. \V. R C.«stle and J. Marsden are to represent the pro- . visional g »vernmeot in its nego- | tiat'ons w th the United States. !
