It is difficult to compress into a small space, the important intelligence I have to communicate to- day. it was aclever remark of an eminent writer, that he had not time to write short letters. The social and political depths of Europe are foaming, boiling, roaring, and lashing against the rocky of the m&morable year 1848, on the sharp points of which so many crowns have been wrecked. My letter of last Saturday will have prepared you in some measure for the present. A second attempt at a revolution has taken place at Madrid. A whole regiment rose against the government, and a fierce conflict ensued—num- bers fell. General Fulgosio was killed on the side of the government, and, Don Velo, formerly depu- ty for Grenada, who commanded the insurgents, fell mortally wounded the first discharge Narvacz ordered the artillery to play upon the in- surgents,and declared Madrid in a state of siege. Two or three (hundred men were killed. On the Tollowing day, thirteen of the princip: the insurgents were led out and_ shot. them, an officer, was carried in a litter to the place ot execution, he having been severely wounded in the fight. I sent youa long description in my last of the revolution in Poland. the brave and valiant Poles to resist the over- whelming forces of Prussia, and Mierorlawski has been compelled to give way. It is even re- ported that he has surrendered unconditionally; but this is far from certain. The insurrection is still vigorously carried out, though it isto be re. gretted that acts of horrible cruelty are perpetrated on both sides. But this Polish question has brought the movement at Paris to a head, and, on * Monday, an attempt was made to get up a second revolution at Paris, and to overthrow,the new go- wrnment. The details of this movement reached London on this day. The attempt has happily proved a failure. Intervention in favor of Poland was the pretext of this movement. The French RepublicThe Attempted Revo- lution, &e. de. Panis, May 15—6 P. M.

The Executive Governmem is now sitting, and it is said will call the National Assembly together this evening. Panrs, May 15, Monday Evening, 5 o'clock. The clubs this day marched in procession to the Na- tional Assembly ; not being opposed by the National Guarda, they took possession of the chamber. Blan- qui barangued the assembly, declaring that if the rap- pel was beaten, it would be treason, and the traitor dealt with. Mubert, with tho red flag waving over him, mounted the tribune, declared the assembly dissolved, and the following provisional government named :— Cabet, Barbes, Huber, Proudhomme, Ledru Rollin, Louis Blanc, Blanqui, Pierre Leroux, Raspail—all Com- munists.

Havr-rast Six.—It is id that the National Guards are protecting the National Assembly and the Hotel de Ville, and better hopes are accordingly felt. Panis, May 15, Monday Evoning, 6 o'clock. Paris was in a state of excitement t&day, from an early hour—this morning boing fixed for the great de- monstration on the part of the Paris clubs in favor of the Poles. * An attempt upon the part of the clubs and work- ing classes to intimidate the National Assembly would, at any time, cause just alarm and excitement in the capital; but on the present occasion the excitement is greatly increased by the postponemént of the fraternity feast, which was to have taken place yesterday. A vast number of strangers from all parts of France, and even from foreign countries, have flocked into Paris to witness the proceedings; and their disappointment at the postponement may’ be easily conceived. Among those who have the greatest cause of complaint are the delegates sent from the departments, of whom a vast number have arrived, and who had not an idea of the postponement. Yesterday morning the delegates of about forty de- partments met at the Palais National (ci-devant Paiais Royal) to concert together what they should do in con- sequence of the postponement of the féte to the 21st of May. Atter a consultation, they appointed a depu- tation to wait upon the Minister of the Interior, and to demand explanations. The deputation was kept waiting for threo hours by the minister, and when at last received, they demanded that the féte should take place on Tuesday next. To this the minister replied that he could not accede to the demand, but that he would that instant consult with the executive commit- tee of government, and would send an answer to the delegates at three o’clock to the Place Vendome, where a meeting was appointed. At three o'clock the dele- gates met at the Placo Vendome, but no answer ar- rived. At four o'clock 3 new committee was form- ed, which went into tho court of the Ministry of Justice to consult. ‘hero the committee was soon joined by M. Flocon, and soon afterwards the Minister of the Interior arrived. and announced that the féte could not take place before Sun- day, but that the government was willing to give the delegates four gratuitous representations at the thea- tres’ This proposition was received with contempt and derision, and the agitation was getting very great when M. Recurt proposed that on Tuesday there should be @ grand review of the National Guard, to which the delegates should be invited for the purpose of fraternising. and at which flags would be distributed This proposition did not appear to give more satisfad- tion than the other, and the parties separated very much dissatistied with each other. In the evening another meeting took place, when it was resolved that all the provincial delegates should join the procession to-day, which is to go to the National Assembly to make a manifestation in favor of the Poles. he National Guards of Rouen and Havre. and other places within twenty-five leagues of Paris, arrived ou Saturday evening to be present at the féle of next day. ‘The Executive government has issued a proclama tion. calling upon the prople to observe order. and com- plaining of the crowds of people to be seen assembled in the atroets, and thereby creating astonishment and alarm to the peaceful inhabitants. The following is the proclamation :— “Parts, May 14, 1848. “ Citizens—The public is founded on order, and can- not subsist but by order;-with order alone you can have work, with order alone the great question of the amelioration of the position of the working classes can be properly examined and resolved; the trath you have comprehended, and all France has applauded your attitude, at once so resolute and so calm From the day that external manifestations, the inevitable rosults, of the first day of a revolution, ceased, confi donce began to revive, and with it commerce and ma- nufactures. However, since yesterday Paris has again beheld somo gatherings of people, which produced in men’s minds fresh uneasiness. Paris was astonish- ed at it, but not alarmed.

Force and right are thero—they are not, they cannot be elsewhere. Why, then, these ga- therings?

Citizens, public tranquillity is 1 he.guaran- ty of labor, the safeguard of all interests. ‘Choe commit- tee of the executive power, convinced that all in- citement to illegal or senseless manifestations destroys labor and compromises the existence of the people. will take care to maintain with vigor, and in every place tran- quillity when menaced. The committee for the accom- lishment of that duty appeals to all sincerorepublicans. it reckons on that excellent spirit of the population of Paris, which has hitherto protected, aud will still pro- tect, the revolution, as well against reaction as against anarchy. “Anaco—Garnier Paors—Mantr-—Lamantine—Lr- pav Rouutx, Members of the Execvtive Power. “Paaxenne, Secretary.” Pants, May 15—6 o'clock Tho people, on forcing their way into tho Assembly, took possession of all the seats they could find.

A staff officer of the Natienal Guard went into the Assembly, and promised the peo- ple to let them know what was Fein on. He soon came out, and informed those who surrounded him that the question had the warmest sympathies of the ‘Assembly, and that they would immediately take the matter into consideration. Thatinformation was very ill received by the mob—one man exclaimed, “ We are the masters! others, “Wo will have no such a: awers ;”’ “It must be yes or no ;’ “ We will not leave the spot till war has been declared,” &e. ‘The troops ap d to be manauvering to surround the pulace. large body of the Garde Mobile was drawn up on the stops that fuce the bridge, and troops were arriving on all sides. . , THE SCENE IN THE FRENCH NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, mMonpay, May 15, ‘The President took the chair at twelve o'clock, “ In going to the Chamber,” says the reporter of the London Chronicle, “1 found a considerable number of National Guards posted under the trees of the Tuileries, with their arms piled, and apparently ready to act at a moment's notice, should their assistance be required. This act was deemed necessary in consequence of a strong manifestation of the people being expected in fa- vor of Poland. The small wicket at the corner of the garden next the bridge was closed, but the whole of the walks in that direction were covered with spectators, On the quay deputations were arriving, each man bear- ing a green branch, and all crying, ‘Vive la Polegne!” Near the chamber itself, next the bridge, there were porsons assembled, but nothing of any importance. the other sido, however, down the Rue de Bourgoigne, considerable crowd was ccllected, and others were ar- riving every moment, some with drums beating, and | others with drums beating and colors flying. ; M. Denance presented the proposition of a decree, to the effect that “ Algeria henceforward forms part of France, and that the French subjects in Algeria shall be governed by the samo laws and constitution as thoxe on the Continent.” He should callon the assembly to have this matter considered in the public sitting of the next day. (Cries of no, no.) Finally, it was referred tothe committee on Algeria. ‘The Presipent read a number of declarations from various representatives who had been returned for moro than one department, declaring for which they selected to sit. Amongst sthem we heard Gen. Cavaignac de- ciding for the Somme, MM. de Lamartine, Ledru Rol- lin, and Garnier Pages for the Seine, and M. Cremieux for the Loire et Indre. The Presipenr rend a letter from M. Beranger, d claring that if'there was anything that could cause him to forget his ago, it would be the flattering letter which he had received from the President, declaring that the National Assembly refused to accept his resig- nation of his seat amongst them. He had, however, again to entreat them to allow him to remain in his privacy, and froma distance contemplate their labors for the welfare of France. The Chamber, being consulted, decided that his re- signation should be accepted. ‘he order of the diy was the interpellations relative to Italy. M. D’Anacon had beon delighted to hear of the revo- lution at Milan, He did not think the provisional go- vernment had been sufficiently decided in its support of that movement, but as he ‘did not wish to embar- rasa the executive committee at the moment of its birth, he should content himself with calling on the Minister of Foreign Affairs to say what principle was to guide the government in its policy relative to Italy, M. Basripr, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, ascond- ed the tribune, and read, in a very indistinct voice, a paper on the subject before the Chamber. He declared that the gorernment felt the greatest sympathy for Italy, and that if its aid was required, it would certainly think itself bound to afford it. No intervention had been de- manded by Italy, and consequently France had not been placed in the position to grant it or refuse it. The government now established in France wished to carry out a system of moderation ; it aimed at no con- quest; its greatest ambition was, to be strong at home, by the internal organization of the country. It would endeavor, as much as possible, to avoid war; but if from the course of events, such an event was unfortunately to take place, it would act with vigor. The treaties of 1814 and 1815 had been destroyed for ever ; but France did not intend, on that account, rushing unnecessari- ly into war. Her conduct would depend on the course of events. M. D’Anacon thought that the Hon. Minister had nofispoken explicitly enough on the question before the Assembly. What he (M. d’Aragon) wanted to know was, if the provisional government had taken steps to show Austria that she must make such conces- sion¢ as would satisfy the Italians. For his part, he should not be satisfied if a single Austrian soldier re- mained in Italy. He must again ask the Hon. Minis- ter to give more precise information to the Assembly. M. pe Lamantine said, that since the questions of Italy and Peland had been brought forwami for the same day, he would ask permission to reply at the same time to both. When the question of Poland was presently brought forward, he should endeavor not to leave the slightest doubt in apy mgn’s mind about the views and wishes of the government on those two sub- jects. (Hear, hear.) < M. Wotowsx1 then ascended the tribune to speak on Poland. (Just as the honorable minister began to speak, a sound reached the interior of the Chamber of shouting outyide. The sound became every inoment louder and louder, and in the Assembly at last a dead silence took place“ This, however, was not ne- cessary,” says our reporter, “ to enable the persons in- side to hear the continuous noise of the multitude sutside. Without wishing to exaggerate. or to appear to write fine. | can declare with truth that it was more like the loud roar of the ocean on a stormy day than anything else.” After awhile, the doors outside were knocked against violently. } A Memnen then rose and said : Let the doors of the hall be closed. (Hear, hear.) A tumult here arose from the efforts of men outside to get in. Suddenly the doors of the Chamber were pushed open, and a number of representatives, who had been in the committee rooms, hurried in and took their places. = The Puesivext—I miust request every member to keep his seat. The utmost order iswecessary, M. Wotowsni attempted to go on, but every member was evidently occupied with the noise coming from outside. M. Drcovssi ® here aecended the tribune amidst cries of order, order !"* “go on, goon!” to M. Wolowski. * [have to announce,” said M. Degoussc, “ that con- trary to the wishes of the President, the commander of the National Guard has ordered his men not to act, to replace their bayonets in the scabbard ! ” (Indezcriba- ble agitation followed this announcement, which was increased still more when the tribunes at the end of the hall were violently invaded by an immense crowd of people, who entered, bearing banners and branches of trees, and crying * Vive la Pologne.”? The ladies in the galleries then becoming frightened, a rush was made to the doors, but the represontatives rose, and by voices and signs entreated them to remain quiet. ‘This, indeed. became absolutely necessary, as at this time were again heard the heavy sound of blows attacking the buildings below. ‘The ladies accordingly reseated themselves, pale and terrified. but. | must do them the justice to say, more firm than a scene to them so dread- ful might have led one to expect.) M. CLemext Tuomas appeared on the tribune, and contrived to make himself heard, whilst he said that a large body of the people were outside, and moved by sympathy for the pcople. wished to present a petition in their favor. ‘Tho tumult here recommenced, shouting proceeding alike from the people, and answering cries from the members who were seated, and from a crowd of other members who had collected around the tribune ; when M. Barbés ascended and endeavored to make himself heard. Several members got up beside him, and endeavored to prevent him speaking. One old meniber in white hair even Inid hands on him, while he held firm, persist ing in his attempt. The other members then proceed- ed in the plan of drowning his veice, so that it was im- possible to hear more than the deafening sound of inany voices, M. Barbés over and over again held out his hand to speak, and cach time was greeted by cheers from the people in the galleries, and by exclamations from the members of the Chamber, ‘The President here left the chair, and was on the in- stant replaced by one of the Vice Presidents. Barbés held his place, and a member, having got be- sido him, addressed the members who were round the tribuae as if in condemnation of that gentleman, and wasloudly cheered. Inthe reporters’ gallery it was impossible to hear a word, At this moment a shot was heard from outside, and the moment after, a crowd of the peeple, having made good their attack on the Chamber, rushed in in immense crowds, and at once went down to the end of the hall in triumph; the shouts from the ttibunes increased, and the pecple about let themseltes down (perhaps for- ty feet, by the pillars) to join their comrades below. ‘Those who had entered carried flags, and one of them having e ln Pologne” inscribed on it, became an object of contention amongst some of the new comers, and the descendants from the tribune. The object apparently was to have the honor of carrying it as an expression of their wishes to the President's chair. Men were knocked down, and the scene became so vio- lent, that the female part of the audi truly terrified dd made a precipitate retr however, still remained. Barbes still remaining in the tribune, the crowd of people, all in blouses, collected round the tribune, stretebod out their hands to him with enthusiasm, and looked up to him as if to their deliverer. Not a word could be heard. The crowd became every moment thicker. invaded from the doors behind, and somebf the crowd in the body of the house endeavoring to go up the steps to join their comrades, and being prevented by the deprities, the latter were struek and borng down by | the rush. | dreadful seene inside. At} The seats behind Kea ae were | Many of the people ascended the tribune near him, and there they stood for some minutes en spectacle amidst cries of “ Vive la Republique!’ “ Vive la Po- logne! Very few of the representatives stirred from their places during this scene of unheard of turbulence, which far execeded, for noise and tumult, the memera- ble sitting of February 24, M. Louts Buanc then got up on the railing eloae to the President's chair, and, after many efforts, obtalued a hearing. Citizens, said he. | propose to you that this petitiomof the people, in tavor of Poland, be read in the Assemblf. [‘Tremendous shouts from the intruders. ] The peopleare calm in their force, and the petition ought to be read and discussed at once, that it nay not be said thatthe people have, by théir entering here, sinned against their own sovereignty. [Renewed cheers and acclamations.] . During the pause which occurred whilst theso, few words were uttered, we could hear the sound strengly audible, of the people outside coming in, M. Rasrait then read the petition, and at the con- clusion Of some of the passages tremendous acclama- mations arose. (Whilst ho is reading it, I may state that the shot which was heard, proceeded fromea musket which went off by accident, just as Madame Lamartine was crossing | the court of the Palais National, to get out of the She was much alarmed at the scene in the interior, and still more so when the shot | was fired, but she got safely, | understand*away. The | | people, however, on hearing the shot, made a simul- taneous rush forward, and had all the muskets at once examined. to see if the others were loaded.] The petition concluded with the words, “ Vive la Pologne !” and this cry was taken up with such a shout as I cannot find words to express to you—it camo sharp, loud, and universal, like the discharge of a cannon-shot, only lasting for a considerable time. M. Barnes then mounted on the estrade near the Prosident’s chair, and thus dominating the Assembly, succeeded in making himself heard. Near him on one side stood gentleman in a fustian jacket, and behind one in a sort of grey summer suit, such as is worn by messengers, He said that he should propose that tho National Assembly declare that the people of Paris had merited well of theircountry. (Tremendoug applause from the people themselves.) At this moment I perceived M. Blanqui in tha tri- bune, and several men. of rather more respectable ap- peararfee, who, I was told, were delegates of the clubs. My neighbors of the people had by this time been pressing on me so dreadfully that the heat became that of an oven ; I therefore offered one of them part of my seat, and was obliged to remain in that position to the end. M. Buanqurat last succeeded in obtaining a hearing, and addressed the Assembly in favor of Poland. [The whole tribune was filled at the same time with people, whilst others stood in a mass at the foot of the tribune, or occupied the seats of the messengers or ushers down the contre} After speaking of the necessity of having a strong will and a universal determination manifested in France in favor of Poland, (which sentiment was of course tremendously applauded,) he proceeded to speak of the massacres of Rouen, and demanded that the prisons of that city shduld be opened, and the people confined there for tho late disturbances, set at liberty. [Renewed applause. } M. Ciyment Tuomas, one of the representatives, and colonel of the 2d legion, hero rose in his place, and said: I demand permission to speak. This caused every eye to be turned towards him; but . M. Buanqui continued—Wo want that the National Assembly should at once pay attention to the wants of the people—[loud cheers]. ‘The people had been too much negleeted by the provisional government [re- peated cheers]. There must be a special Minister of Labor—[reiterated cheers]. The Assembly must, with- out intermission, without stop, without manifestation of fatigue, continuously concert together, to give work, to give bread to the people—[cheering as before]. The people by this time filled the whole house—(none, however, with arms, though some had sticks). All up the side’ passages and the whole of the centre of the house, presented a sea ofheads. There appeared not the slightest chance of the scene coming to a conclusion, when suddenly a loud ery of « Vive Rollin” arose. A man was seon forcing his way through the crowd, and the moment after— M. Lepav Routan ascended the tribune, and was re- coived with universal acclamations from the people. He alluded to the justice of their demand in favor of Poland; spoke of the admirable good sense of the people of Paris; deciared the people had set their grievances before the Assembly with justice, and that without doubt they would be properly attended to. But he would appeal to their sense of justice, if it were possi- ble to deliberate in suc a tumult. He called on them te withdraw on the instant, and allow the National Assembly to do its duty and decide what was to be done. {Me was loudly applauded, except at the close, when murmurs rose.) Vorces—Let it vote at once! The matter has been suf- ficiently debated! We have enlightened the Assembly ! An irruption of the delegates of the clubs here burst into the reporters’ gallery, and two of the men, advanc- ing on the bed of the gallery, stood there unsupported, demanding to be heard. ‘They could not, however. suceced in their attempt. They told me they belonged to the various corporations, and that they were about 650 in all, at that moment, in the house. "They forced some of the others to give way, and remained close to whero I was trying to write. ‘The same men-informed me that there were at least 250,000 men outside. ‘The whole of the Place de In corde, the Boulevards de la Madeleine and les cines being completely filled. But what do you all want now?" I asked. “What. we want!’ they retorted; “we want a special Minister of Labor, and that aid should be given by France to Italy and Poland, ‘That is what we want, and that is what we must have! We want nothing more. Look at the flag of Poland displayed below in the Chamber ; we want that to be seen, with our own tricoler. at the head of our armies,”’ ‘The Polish flug was in fact beneath us. with those of the « Ateliers Nationaux,” the “ Organization de Tra- vail,” and others. A Dexecate and a Pomrren successively addressed the crowd, from thé tribune, most probably recom- mending them to withdraw, for almost immediately after, the tribune was evacuated, A movement also was perceptible towards the door, but it was only for a moment. The human tide was turned back by the sume exterior force, and again every thing was in con- fusion. A cry was also raised now, that ~ the tribune was giving way !"? Every one looked towards the tri- bune at the end, from Which several men were seen letting themselves dorn hastily into the Chamber. No accident, however, took place. all the alarm being caused by a cracking noise of some of the timber work ‘The whole Chamber was by this time filled as if with steam from the perspiration of the crowd. M. Banners here again appeared in the tribune, and addressed the crowd. The first thing heard was—* A fixed tax of a milliard shall be levied on the rich, carry on war for Poland.”? Ail the cheers of the day were mere trifles to that which now burst forth. I thought it would never cease, Just as it was dying away, Louia Blanc was re- cognised amongst the crowd, and being lifted on their shoulders, was borne to the end of the hall in triumph, to (the load was not a heavy one.) amidst the loudest cries | of “ Vive Louis Blane.’” The delegates, who had by this time lost all sense of politeness, and got completely before me, prevented my seeing what became of the body thus proceeding in their ovation. A ery here arote, “they are beating the rappel!” which having been repeated, it was answered by the dreadful exclamation of * Aux Armes!’? This did not, however. meet with much encouragement. * Let them beat it Fwhat is that to us?’ Inthe midst of the up- roar and emotion excited by these exclamations, M. Baknvs again addressed the crowd. xnd said that the people having manifestly merited we’ { of their coun- try. whoever should order the rappel to be beaten should be declared a traitor to his country, and hors la lois! [As usual, thunders of applause greeted the speaker.)

ANALYSIS OF THE FRENGH NATIONAL ASSEMBLY— | AND FRENCH LE- | COMPARISON OF THE ENGLISH GISLALURES, [From the London Herald, May 15.] Much has been said by our brethren of the pross on the conduct and demeanor of the National Assembly, and on its goneral tone and composition. Vor our- selves we have few fears as to the moderation and pru- donce of the National Assembly. Most of the mem- bers are already past the meridian of life, and. are pretty well desillusiones—to use a favorite Fronch term—as to the benefits resulting from perpetual | changes. Four hundred out of the nine hundred mem. bers are abovo 35 years of age, 300 are above 30, and there are not above 200 men under 30 in this con- stituent chamber. Age, to be sure. docs not always bring staidnoss, sobriety, and wisdom ; there are men in all countries who aro ever young in discretion; but still the preyalenco of deputies who have passed middle age gives one the hope, if not the assurance, that mo- deration and good sense will obtain the mastery. Much carping criticism has also been exercised on the mode and manner in which the National Assem- bly has done its business, and a great deal of corres: pondence and leading article matter has been bestow- ed on scenes of irregularity and disorder. But the writers and correspondents forget that any assembly of 500 men in any country must be more or less of » bear garden. Even in an unreformed House of Com- mons we have ourselves witnessed scenes and heard speeches—the one coarse and bearish— the other rude, undignified, and uncivil. Who does not remember the passages between Canning and Brougham in 1825 and 826—between Canning and the late Mr. Justice John Williams, in the same years—not to speak of the tilts and encounters between Sheridan and Pitt at the close of the last century, or the famous scolding matches between Grattan andFlood in 1782; and Grattan and Corry, in the Irish Parkament, if we remember rightly, in 1799. These things occurred in close, unreformed Parliaments, Again,in the reformed Parliament of 1833, we had the squalls between Doherty and O*Con- nell—between Messrs. Barron, Mahon, and several English mpmbers; and those exhibitions of cock-crow- ing and braying which so damaged the character and repute of the first reformed legislature. Much allow-* ance should, in any country, be given to a constituent assembly composed of a great majority of new men, yen in an assembly of 658 Englishmen, in 1832 and 1833, it was doemed by the whigs essential to preserve | the late Lord Canterbury, (then Mr. Manners Sutton.) in his offlee of Speaker, with a view to restrain the im- petuous and rein in the rash. [f such precautions were necessary under a system of reform which increased not the numbers, how much allowance should be made for the assembly of vivacious Frenchmen, more than twice as numerous as any of the chambers | under the Bourbons of the elder or the junior branch? They who maintain the contrary, show themselves as ignorant of French parliamentary history, and of the political history of France, as the writers on French affairs in the Quarterly and Edinburdh Re- views, and as a daily misleading journal, whose mis- takes have been painfully prominent, if not diurnally so, during the last three months. Open the parliamentary history of France at any | page during the last thirty-three yeats, and you will | find “de viol 2) aur cris,” inter- larded in every discussion. in 1815, in 1819, | in 1820, when M. de Corday said to Foy, “ Vous étes un insolent, So it was in 1821 and 1822, when La Bourdonnaye Cas- tlebagne, Corbiere, D’Ambrugeac, Becquet, Cornet In- court, assailed Manuel, Foy, Constant, and Lafayette, | with the most insulting phrases. So it was when M Dudon * s'elancait a la tribune,” amidst interruptions nouvelles; and when, M. de Chauvelin, rising up, took the words and the thought, «oto speak, out of Foy's mouth. and went beyond tho speaker in vehemence and volubility. So it was in 1831 and 1832, when Mau- gin attacked Casimir Perier, or when some of the mem- bers of the extreme gauche, as violent as the late Gen ral Demarcay, attacked Bugeaud, It is not because Frenchmen thus squabble, and wrangle. and gesticu- late and jabber, and slap their breasts vehemently, and tap their temples wildly. rushing from their seats and | mounting a flight of three steps ata bound, that they are half so mad or so wild as they seem. “ Quand on veut noyer son chien on dit qwil est enragé,” says the proverb ; and as we are most desirous that the French should not be mistaken as to tho estimate formed of them by intelligent Englishmon, we beg to assure them that educated Englishmen do not miajudge their acts and proceedings as they are misjudged by tion of the press, daily and quarterly. NEWSPAPERS OF PARIS. Perhaps some idea of the daily newspapors published at present would be desirable to your readers. I shall | make an enumeration from memory.

It was said that the Adige had been passed, and a re- port prevailed that Verena had been entered; but these accounts were not confirmed ‘The news from Frioul is also favorable.

THE CRISIS IN THE AFFAIRS OF ITALY. (From the London Times, May 15.} No part of the Italian question is more fraught with difficulty than the present and future position of Pius IX. Onthe 20th of April last, the Pope pronounced an alloeution in the secret Consistory of the Cardinals, in which he earnestly disclaimed the connexion whieh the revolutionary party had sought to establish between. his policy and their own subversive and erim| de- signs. He showed that the measures of his temporal government had been the fulfilment of the recommen- dations made to the Court of Rome by the five great powers in 1831; and he utterly repudiated the inference | that an enterprise untertaken by him in the present spirit of patriotism and benevolence, had degenerated by any fault or by any ambition of his into the anarchy | now to be witnessed in his dominions in Italy and Eu- rope. On these grounds he positively denied the “ per- fidious assertion” that the Roman Pontiff would ever preside over a republic formed of all the States of Italy; and be solemnlyprotested that the intention of declaring war against Austria was altogether contrary to his in- tentions, although he possesses no means of preventing his subjects from serving as volunteers in the cam- paign. * These declarations wore very ill received in Rome. | The only troops which could have protected the govern- tment and the Pope himself, had beon sent t the fron- tiers, The city was in the hand of the Civic Guard, who, of course. took the firat opportunity of using their arms against the authorities which had called them in- -to existence, and Rome became a scene of the most omplete anarchy and confusion. Such an event might in these times happen almost everywhere; but the attempt to control the authority of the Pope by the rabble of Rome, has a very peculiar importance. It ia a blow struck at papacy itself, It is one of the grossost and most fatal insult’ which could be offered to tho head, not only of small Italian State, but the count- less millions of the Roman Catholic church, It is nioreover, an act of treachery and hostility to the mo- ate and national party in Italy, who have {denti- their case with the name of Pius IX. The pos- session of independent foverciga rights has at all times been held to be essential to the free exercise of that | spiritual power which the Popes of Rome have assumed in a large part of Christendom; but the most fatal in- vasion of those independent sovereign rights is that which proceeds from the rebellion and anarehy of the Roman people. The imaginary union of Catholicism and democracy—of popular government and ecclesi tical authority—will here be brought to a trial it can hardly survive. Neither the captivity of Avignon nor the outrages of Fontainebleau ever sank ghe papacy to so low an ebb as the triumph of this domestic enemy; and wherever allegiance to the Romish church is pro- fessed throughout the world, such an event cannot but produce the strongest sensation, to be followed by still mere extraordinary revolutions Meanwhile, everything that is passing distinetly indicates that the French government, far from really desiring the maintenance of peace, are preparing for war ; and, above al The first serious re- verse which Is sust: Piedmontese army may made a pretext for in ation. The language of General Oudinot to his troops clearly points to Italy, and this officer has long been in. the confidence of M. De Lamartine ; whilst the admission of men like Jules Bastide and Jules Favre to the Department of Foreign Affairs of France deprives us of all contidence in t] moderation of their diplomacy.
