THREE DAYS’ LATER INTELLIGENCE. The new steamship Niagara, Capt. Ryrie, ar- rived at Boston early yesterday morning. She sailed from Liverpool on the 20th ult., and has made the passage in twelve and a half days, ch is equal in speed to that of the steam ship United States, Boston being one day nearer than New York is to Liverpool. The news is, of course, of considerable impor- tance. The French Republic..The Insurrection in Parts. On Monday morning, the 15th ult., the populace of Paris, composed of the clubs, the ateliers na- tionaux, the provincial delegates, and other vio- lent democratic associations, began to assemble. and by half-past eleven upwards of fy thousans persons marshalled under banners, and marched in procession to the Chamber, the numbers aug- menting as they proceeded. f On arriving ‘at the bridge, finding the ee interrupted, the procession turned towards the Chamber, and arrived at the gate in the Place La- fayette. General Courtais, wisi Ina y or unjustly, is suspected of. being a party to the affair, had pri Bactige ordered the bayonets to be taken from the muskets. Some of the people seeing this, were encouraged to escalade the railings ; others follow- ed, and the court of the Chamber was sooc filled General Courtais then advanced to them with con- ciliating language ; but, in fine, the gates were soon forced open, and the populace entering the Chamber, rushed to the tribunes, and, instantly mingling with the members of the convention, flletievererosit of the halls ., The troops of the line, infantry, cavalry, and ar- tillery, were called out by the ministry, and the national guard and guard mobile were placed under arms. After much uproar and confusion, the populace became intimidated by the troops, left the assem- bly, and proceeded to the Hotel de Ville, to ap- point a committee of public safety. | MM. Barbés, Albert and the otherministers of the new provisional government, had just commenced in the identical room in which Robespierre and his associates were seized, their functions, as direc- tors, when the National Guards entered the build- ing from the rear, which had been totally un- guarded, poanced upon the pseudo government and, after a struggle, m which M.

He was admitted, certainly; but only to be arrested. His hundred partisans were disarmed, stripped even of their scarlet cravats, and turned adrii After the Chamber of Deputies and the Hotel de Ville had been purged of their new occu- pants, and after the arrest of several parties connected with the attempted revolution, who had. An the first instance, escaped, all Paris presented masses of National Guards, moving in columns of thousands, to the great points of the city—the peo- ple and the women, the best-dressed ladies even, cheering them en passant. - Not a chair was unoc- cupied, nor was there scarcely a possibility of moving 1n the Boulevards, from the crowds of well- dressed people, of both sexes, and of workmen mixed up with them, discussing in groups what had taken place, and in loud condemnation of the disturbers. This feeling was almost uni- versal. Here and there a fanatic cried Vive Barbés! but ‘was immediately surrounded, seized, and carried off to prison. Such was he conduct of the psople throughout that important evening, By midnight all was quiet. In the course of the night; a regiment of curas- siers, and the students of the military school of St. Cyr, arrived in Paris, and several regiments of the line, from other quarters, marched on the capi ta The Journal des Débats contains the following account of the atrest of M. Raspail:— “ At aquarter before 6 o'clock in the afternoon, a cabriolet was seen to ascend as quiekly as possible the difficult and steep street of La Montagne Sainte Gene- vieve. Some citizens, in order to assist the horse. were pushing the carriage from behind, and the coschman was flogging his horse. There were three men in the carriage. When it arrived near the Pantheon it set off as fail gallop, and stopped at No, & Rue des Francs- bourgeois. the residence of M. Raspa‘l. The national guards, who were at their bivouse in the Luxembourg, having been informed of M. Raspail’s arrival. proceed- edina body to his house, They searched that and the adjoining houses without finding him. Having heen assured that he was concealed, they repeate their search and discovered him. This was at half- past 9 o'clock. Three offleers placed themselves with M. Raspail in a hackney coach, und lodged him in the Luxeinbourg. Not aecry nor @ threat was raisod by the national guard.” The Journal des Débats adds, that the stu- dents of the Polytechnic school turned out at the first report of an insurvection, and placed themselves at the disposal of the executive govern- ment. When M. Lamartine and M. Ledru Rollin went to the Hotel de Ville on the 15th, the latter having advaneed a few steps before M. Lamartine, was arrested by the second in command at the Hotel de Ville. M. Ledru Rollin having strongly protested against this, the officer answered: “[ arrest you, because your” name is on the list of the pretended government that has been proclaimed. M. I. tollin then alighted from fis horse,when he was joined by M. Lamartine, who said he would be answerable for his colleague. : Paris was throughout the night of the 15th ultimo, pretty tranquil. 80,000 National Guard had passed the night under arms or in patrollin, but no incident, save one, that could be characte: ised ag violent, occured after nightfall. _ The exception was at the headquarters of Citizen Sobrier, whose house, No. 16in the Rue de Rivoli exactly opposite the Tuileries, was entered by the people and the firemen and the National Guar His own body guard of Montagnards were seized, disarmed, and ignominiously kicked into the, street, his bureau and private apartment broken into, his papers torn or burnt. The furni- ture on the premises was smashed, and strict 8 made for the citizen himself, who, fortu- nately for him, was at that moment in durance on the other side of the water. ‘ Three National Guards were killed during the affiay at the passage Moliére, and another was very seriously wounded at_ the corner of the Hotel de Ville itself. The fman who shot him was immediately arrested. a A vast unmber of prisoners have been taken, | among whom are Sobrier, Raspail, abet, Albert— (ouwrier),—lately a member of the Provision- al Government, Toutin, Saisset, Lamatre, Boque' Thoré, Barbee, Huber, Courtais, and Blanqui. The Notional Guards seized upon Gen, Courtais, stripped his epaulettes off his shoulders, and car- ried them as trophies before them, M, Caussididre, the Profect of the Police, is implicated in the affair, and has been ‘dismissed. Seventy-five of the body guard, kept by the Clubbist Sobrier, im ‘the house Rue de Rivoli, a ted. In the same house a large quantity of arms and ammunition were found. It was announced that the guard ealled the Mon- s disbanded. / The persons who were in the room with M. Rarbés were also arrested andconducted to pri son. These arrests are said toamount to at least sixty. On many persons were found pistols, da gers, and on some letters from the chiefs of the ot. The first legion, of the, National Guard, which 1s the most aristocratic in Paris, was the most ardent in favor of the National Assem- bly. It was the Dake de Mouchy who arrest- ed Gen, Courta ‘The sword of Gen.

Barbés had made an attempt to escape. ‘The prisoners are now all strongly guarded in the dungeons of Vincennes, and any attempt to re- lieve them would be useless. Two regiments of cuirassiers came upat a gallop from Versailles, and the poor fellows ac*ually wept with joy at the idea of getting their revenge for the days of Feb- The part taken by Louis Blanc in the affray of the 15th is yet involved in some mystery. He can- not, itis supposed, clear himself of complicity in | the matter, During the time that the mob had pos- session of the Assembly, he, as well as Bar- \ bes, Albert, and General Courtais, mingled with , the crowd in the ante-chambers and lobbies, shook them by | the hand, and express- ed his confidence in them, When Albert and Burbés went to the Hotel de Ville, M. Louis Blane also quitted the Assembly; but fortunately for him- self, he did not accompany them to the Hotel de. Ville, and he has not given any explanation of where he was in the interval. But certainly, after the failure of the attempt to establish a pro- visional government, he reappeared and declared | solemnly that he was perfectly innocent of all par- ticipation in the events of the day——a declaration which was received with shouts of derision and contempt. | q M. Sobrier seems to have been oneof the prime | movers of the émeute. ‘ | | In the search made on the evening of the 15th, at | the offices of the Commume de Paris, published by him, there were found 600 muskets, most of which | were «loaded, a barrel of gunpowder, and other | munitions of war. Some of the papers which | were seized are said tobe of great importance. We understand that not less than eighty-two | arrests were made in Sobrier’s apartments. One of. the persons arrested had a paper in his hand, etienie thrust into his mouth and tried | to swallow; but being seized by the throat, hy was | obliged to give it up, and it turned out to be a list ot afiles. " Altogether, the movement was a most violent | attempt to usurp the Government of france. A | correspondent writing from Paris on the 16th ult., says :— ‘ it appears that the government has ascertained | that the invasion of the Assembly 7° orday was 8 regu- | larly organised conspiracy, and that the Insurrection was intended to break out at the same instant at Ly- ns, and probably at other pines. ‘A telegraphic des- | patch was sont off to the authorities at Lyons, toinform them of their danger, and to announce the suppression of the insurrection at Paris. The great point of solici- tude and attention on Tuesday night, was the Prefec- ture of Police..The neighborhood was completely blocked up with troops. The Pont Neuf was covered | with regiments of infantry of the line, and of the Guard Mobile, #0 as to leave barely room for a carriage to pass. All circulation was stopped on the Passago d’Orfevres leading to the Prefecture, that road being entirely fillod with troops, as was also the court at the prefecture.and all the avenues of the Palais de Justice. The 7 de Ville continued #9 be similarly sur- rounded, . The conduct imputed to M. Cauggidiere, in reference to the procee of Monday and some other previous events, brought the question of the Repubheat Guard, a corps formed at the re- olution and only subject to the order of the Prefect of Police, before the Assembly on the 16th, and it was resolved by the executive government to dis- band it, M. Garnier Pages declared from his place in the Assembly that ithad been actually disband- -d. It appeared, however, that this troop had re- fused to quit the prefecture, or to allow the Na- tional Guard to enter it. They declined even to obey any verbal order from their chief, M. Caussidiere, who was then at the Assembly. They declared that they would not move asl M. Caussidiere himself came to order them, This contest continued for several hours, during which a great military force collected round the prefecture. At 4 o'clock, 10,000 men surrounded it. They admitted some detachments of the National Guard witnin the builing. Duri the night, however, the neigh! continue as before, to be occupied by the troops, who vouacked in the streets. ; A report prevailed that Louis Blanc had been arrested. According to another report, he had taken flight. ‘ ON . The number of prisoners in Vincennes is 67; individuals are under arrest in the Hotel de Ville. Advices of the 17th state that things begin to resume the aspect of civil order. In the early part of the forenoon, the usual mass of troops was collected round the Chamber, but about noon an order arrived that they should march to «their quarters, and that the only external mark of pre- caution visible during the day has been, that the garden and courts have been scree by a regi- ment of the line and some detachments of the Oat i- mobile. q ‘he wale have been with an npolo getic manifesto from Caussidiere, in which he defends his conduct by declaring that a republican police cannot adopt preventive mea- sures; and that his functions could only be repressive. He wrote on the morning of the 15th, to M. Pagnerre, Secretary of the provi- sional government, assuring him that the demon- stration about to be made would be perfectly tran- quil; that his agents were at the head of the movement; and that he would be responsible tor the result. The Executive was not, however, wholly tranquilized, but made fewer and less im- portant preparations, scarcely expecting an attack. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. On the opening of the Chamber on the 16th ult., M Bueiez, the Prosident, having resigned the chair to M Corbon, one of the Vice Presidents, proceeded to offer to the Chamber explanations for his conduct on the occasion of the invasion of the Chambor by the popaaes the day previous. M. Buchez said, that ing pressed and besieged by threatening letters, con- taining furious menaces against the Assembly, on the subject of beating the rappel, he thought it right to give orders to suspend it At these words, violent mur- murs broke out from all parts of the Assembly. 4. Buchez appeared disconcerted, and stammered out ex- cuses, ing that he feared for the lives of the mem- bers. © But honor is more precious than life !’’ cried several voices. ‘“ Rather die,” cried others, “ than adopt your course !’’ (Loud applause.) You have be intrepid, it fs true (resumod M, Buchez), but it seems to me that the comduet of your President is not worthy of yours, After further altercation of this kind, M. Buchez withdrew, without returning to the chair. M. Garnier Pagis assured the Assembly that the most effectual measures were taken to assure the kafety of the Assembly and of the public, aud enumerated the prisoners taken, He added that M. Cawesiditre, Pre- fect of police, had not yet been dismissed. and that he was about to offer explanations to the Assembly on the subject of the inaction imputed to the police yester- day. Several members spoke on the subject of the Pre- fect of Poliee and the republican guard, impating to them complicity with the insurgent party. Mr. Caussidiore soon after presented himself to offer explanations to the Assembly. Two hours were con- sumed with the various questions put to him and the answers given, atthe end of which he resigned his ot- fice. When M Caussidiere presented himeelf in the Chambor, much surprise was expresacd, inasmuch as reports had circulated that he had shut hiowelf up in the Prefecture of Police, and set the government at de- fiance. Respecting this the following explanation is given :—Twonty-five thousand inen of the National Guard and troops of the line had gone to surround the Prefecture of Police. M. Clement Thomas, General- Chief of tho National Guard, having presented him- self to summon M. Caussii to surrender, that per- son answered that, asa representative, he would not surrender, except to a decree of the Assembly. M. ‘Thomas consoquently invited him to repair to the As- sembly, to which he consented. The explanations given by M. Caussidiere possessed no particular inter- est. beyond the circumstance that he sought conti- nually to make the provisional government, the execu- tive commission, and the present ministry, participa- tors in the wrongs with which they reproach him. MI. Cremieux having considered it his duty te give expla- nations, M, Caussidicre became more violent, and, in a tone of bravado. cried out that it had been his inten- tion to carry on his office in a fraternal manner. as the times required; but since he no longer had their con- | fidence, he would resign. |. Amos the proposittons brought forward ‘in the As- | Sembly at this sitting, was one by M. Billault, to inter- dict, under severe penalties, all tumultuous meetings (attroupements) within 1500 metres ef the Chamber. It was ordered to bo referred to the Committee on Jus- | ties, In the course of the proceedings on the 17th | President read the letter in which M. Caussi sent his resignation, M. Sarrut defended M. Caussidiire, “The Assem- | | bly.) said he, “before accepting this resignation. | should examine the real motives of it, which, in mj | opinion, were nothing more than a just sentiment 6 susceptibility which is befitting a member of this Ax sembly who has been called on for his justification.” After some vain attempts to continue this defence, the resignation of M. Caussidiére was accepted, ‘The question of the validity of the elections for Cor- sica being brought forward, it was decided that the proscription existing against the Bonaparte family should not prevent MM. Pierre and Napoleon Bowa- | Parte from taking their sents, | M, Louis Blane being also returned for Corsica, his election was annulled. in consequence of an irregular- | ity in the admission of foreigners into the hall of elec- | tion, M. Louis Blane mounted the tribune, and made some observations, which were listened to with the most chilling coldness, The Assembly then procceded to appoint the com- mittee for proparing the project of the constitution The following is a sketch of the mombers of the new ministry: M. Bastide and M. Duelere were, since the 2th February. under secretaries of stato in the de- partments in which they have now beceme Ministers, Colonel Charras was also under secretary in the war | department, and has the character of being an ablo administrator; but he is only appointed minister of the war department od interim.

M. Trelat, who is also # physician, was the candidate of the ultra-republicans, and is con- sidered a nominee of M. Ledru Rollin. Much atten- tion has been drawn to the appointment of M. Jules Favre, as under Secretary of State for the Foreign ment, M. Bastide, the minister, is understood, the full confidence of Lamartine, who, though he ceases to be at the head of that department, will prpbably continue to overlook the business of it; but M. Jules Favre iy the nominee of Ledru Rollin, and it is insinuated that he is placed as a check on the too pacific M, Bastide. M. Favre was the under secre- tary in the department of the interior, under M. Ledru Roilin, and the principal instrument in all te acts of violence which emanated from that office, and Which have done so much damage to the Republic, in the eyes, not only of Frenchmen. but of all Europe. | Colonel Clement Thomas, of the 2d Legion (formerly is named general-in-chief of | the Paris National Guard, in the room of that woak old man, General Courtais. ‘The Executive gavernment has just issued a decree for retaining the national under arms until all justice. M. Bothmont has resigned the Ministry of Public Worship, which, it is said, will be united with that of Public Instruction. M. Pagnerre had been appointed secretary of the Executive Commission, with a deliberating vote in the counoil of ministers. - ‘The composition of the Chamber is as follows; Ex- | 120; magistrates, 111; ecclesiaatios, 71; doe- 17; workmen, 34; manufacturers, 38; soldiers, 38; municipal magistrates, 30; commissaries of the govern ment, 63; authors and journalists, 31; agriculturist 61; engineers, 8; landed , 60; unkno 245; in all 830, which, with the colonies, and the double oloctions, make 900. The National Assembly contains 17 surgeons. The late Chamber contained but one. Under Louis Phi- lippe, but one surgeon was created a peer. Another, M. Double, did not receive this honor, as he refused to renounce the exercise of his profession. The President (Buchez) and the Vice-President (Recurt) of the pre- sent Assembly, are surgeons. The principal competitor with M. Buohes for the presidency, M. Trelat, is also a medical man. The new Minister of Foreign Affairs has appointed M. Emanuel Arago as Minister Extraordinary at Ber- lin. It will be recollected that this is the commissioner whose extraordinary conduct at Lyons nearly created a rebellion in that city. The National announces that the army of the Alp which already consists of three divisions, is to be au mented by fourth division formed of three brigades of seasoned troops, which are already under orders from Algeria, and which are considered the best in that colony. The command of the new division is given to General Lorre de Arbouville, whose head quarters are to be Avignon. The army of the Alps, with this addi- tion, consists of 38.000 effective troops. ‘The army of the Rhine consists of 86,000 mon, of “hot ie are to be concentrated in Strasbourg and rhood; 12,000 in the neighborhood of Ha- guenau; and the other 12,000 at Colmar and the neigh- boring communes. Orders have been given at the Arsenal at Bayonne for the arming of the whole of the points of defence of the coast in arrondissement. Orders have also been given to repair the fortifications of Calais and Dunkirk. The National says that a telegraphic despatch re- coived at Cherbourg on the 13th, ordered the immediate arming of four steam bi arr which are in that harbor, and of which two were iit for transatlantic steam ‘packets, The 100 yun ship Henry IV. has also been ordered to be launched forthwith, At Avignon, there have beon barricades and fighting; 18 persons were arrested, and one wounded. A deecreo of the Exveutive Commission appears in the Moniteur, organising 4 sort of municipal guard, to con- sist of 2000 infantry and 600 cavalry, for the special service of the police of Paris, and to be called the Pari- siam Republican Guard. The following protest, signed by a great number of national guards, has been published :— Citizer tatives—The persons and fanctions of the re- the people are sacred, but there are solemn circum- Manoes under which, in the nate of onder ‘and he publio safety, immediate justice ought to be done.

A provisional govern- ment In Rome is a mero extravagance. Nothing but the wildest anarchy ean spring out of it: for the liber- ties which the Pope had already granted to his subjects far exceeded their deserts or their ability to turn them to good account. If, therefore, this calamity has ac- curred beyond all hope of redemption, we can only apprehend the worst consequences from it, not only to the Roman States, but to the rest of Italy; and there is great reason to apprehend that the struggle which began for independence will end in anarchy ‘The Gazetta di Roma contains the programme of the ministry, in which they say they profess the same so timents of patriotism, liberty, order, and justice, their predecessors ; that they will constantly have at heart the sscred cause of Italy, to the success of which they will apply all their energies. They will apply themselves to alleviating the miseries of the people, and ameliorating the condition of the working class, and | with the assistance of the two chambers, bring about as manst as Por sible a cure for the evils of povertyydegra- | lation, and ignorance, ‘T'mnquillity was completel restored In the city gata ere The official journal of the pontifical government as- serts that the programme of the new ministry which | has been published, has no official character, and is | wholly unauthorized. The Pentitude Marzo, of Milan, on the 18th gives a letter from Venice of the 11th, announcing that an estafette, arrived on that day, brought the news of a | serious encounter that had taken place near Comuda and Molinetto, between the Austrians on one side and the corps of Durandi and Ferrari on the other. Tho Austrians lost 500 prisoners, 400 dead or wounded. Subsequently their main body, 5,000 strong, was blocked up in the vicinity, and it was expected they would lay down their arma. The Venice Gazette con- firms the fact, and adds that the battle was fought in the immediate vicinity of Souzane, four miles from Seltre. This victory renders an attack on Treviso im- possible. Tho Dublin Freeman says, we have been favored with the perusal of a private letier from Rome, dated 8th May. We extract from it the following important pa: sage -—" Tho Pope has perfectly recovered his intl ence; the gates of the city and the castle have been restored to the proper authorities. ‘The ‘ Trasteverin\’ took an active part in favor of tho Pope, stating that if he wished for war they wished for war; if he wished for peace, they wished for peace. This demonstration had an immense influence, and things are now quiet again.’ Austria, Our advices from Vienna are to the 11th ult. The Wabl-Ordrung, or provisioal law to regulate the elections to the first Austrian Parliament, had ap- peared, and the following are a few of the more ii portant provisions :— The Chambers are to meet on the 27th of Juno. The number of the members of the Senate is not to exceed 200, to consist of the princes of the blood, 150 chosen from and by the chicf landed proprietors, for the dura- tion of the Parliament, and the remainder to be nomi- ted by the Emperor for life. The Chamber of Deputies to consietof 383 members, being at the rate of one for every 50,000 inhabitants, except in the case of the principal towns, which are to have a larger numbor of representatives in proportion to the population. Thus Vienna will have 15 members The elections are to be indirect, as for the Frankfort Parliament. The right of suffrage in the election of the Wahl- monner appertains to all Austrian citizens, without distinction as to religion, who have attained their 24th year, possess the free exercise of their civil rights, have been six months resident in the electoral districts, and are not entitled to vote in the election of mem- bers of the Upper Chamber.

The Paris Presse states that an order has been gi- ven to the manufactory of Chatellerault for 100,008 muskets, to be completed as quickly as possible. It was added to this rumor that a levy of 200.000 men, from eighteen to thirty ‘years of age, was about to be de- ‘reed. “Thus not a single fault of past times, nor one of its crimes, will in all probability be avoided.” The Constitutionnel states that orders have been despatched to the port of Rocheturt to prepare two frigates for sea. one of sixty guns and the other of fifty-two, The same journal also states that “ the military commis- sion appointed by the French government has recom- mended that the fortications of Dunkirk be restored ‘They were rased in the year 1713, in virtue of the treaty of Utrecht. and'the port filled up. The conven- tion wished to restore those works, but time failed it; and it appears that the second republic is destined to falfil the wishes of the first.’ The army of the Alps is, it is said, about to be reinforced by a fourth divi- sion. composed of three brigades which had arrived in complete order from Algeria. Important from Italy. The Vienna Gazette gives some further intelligence from Conegliano, dated the™6th ult. Nugent had crossed the Piave on the evening of that day, and on Sunday was to force his way to Treviso, On the Sth, some troops of the left wing of the army of Marshal Ra- detsky, commanded by Gen, Rossbach, had marched down’ trom Belluno, and, consequently, the two armies may be considered as united. By advices received at Milan we learn that a battle had been fought between the Austrians and the Ponti- Heal troops and Italian volunteers, between Cornuda and Molinetto. The Austrians lost four hundred men killed and five hundred prisoners, and many wounded ‘The body of their troops, to the number of 5000 men. were surrounded, without having any artil- lery, at Cornuda and Molinetto, and are placed be- tween two fires by Generals Durando and Ferrari Another account says that the battle lasted five hours, and that the Roman troops received a check. The minister for foreign affairs of Piedmont an- nounced to the chamber of deputies, on the 13th ult, the accession of Piacenza to the Sardinian dominions. The provisional government of Milan had ordered the opening of registers throughout the country to the votes of the poputation relative to the annerati Lombardy to Piedmont. This decision was adopted in consequence of an energetic manifestation to that ef- fect, made by the national guard and the people, fol- lowed by a demand in which it was stated that the in- trigues of Metternich, Guizot, and Louis Philippe, in London, the hostile attitude of Russia, the friendly dis- position of Germany, the avowed neutrality of Switzer- land, and other diplomatic complications tending to cause an apprehension of general conflagration in Lurope, render it more necessary to increase the force | of Italy by union, A fasion with Piedmont would | render it possible to collect au army of 200,000 Italians. | The Milan Gazette says the blockade of Venice is | an absurdity The merchant ships go in and out as | they please.

When we call to mind the enthusiastic devotion which the Italian | people of all ranks, and in every state, have professed for Pius IX.—when we remember the zealous and disin- terested spirit in which he has pursued the one great object of the regencration of Italy, and the reform of the Pontifical government—it must be confessed that | Rome herself nevor witnessed a more revolting instance | of popular ingratitude, Pius 1X.. with all his attack- ment to the cause of free institutions, and the welfare of his people. is the last man in Italy to surrender what he conceives to bea right to the elamor of the pop- ulace. As a temporal sovereign, and ax the head of the | Romish Chureh, he has sought to exercise the powers | confided to him ina devout nd trusting spirit, full rather of his sacred duty to that Being whose power believes himself to represent and to exercise upon earth, than of the caleulations of worldly policy. In the belicf of a large portion of the Christian world, the Pope of Kome cannot, without desecration, be de- graded from that sovereignty, which has for so many ages attended his spiritual power. And whon that Pope is pre-eminent for kis virtues and his wiedom. we know not what to think of men, claiming to be Italians, Catholics, and his subjects, who have dared to lift a hand against him in the effervescence of popular pas- sions, We are convinced that Pius IX will never sub- | mit to the mere dictation of passion, and that if he is compelled to descend from the throne of the Quirinal | Danes would, in all probability, turn the tide of the battle. The Berlingsche Zeitung of Copenhagen posi- tively asserts that 20,000 Swedes have received march- ing orders, and that a corps of Swedish allies may shortly be expected to arrive on the Danish territory. From the 18th of April to the 3d ult., not less than sixty-four German yessels were captured by Danish men-of-war. A bill for a war tax tothe amount of four millions of rix doilara, has been laid before the Danish parliament at Roeskild, (the old capital, at least royal residence, at Denmark.) It is hinted that Russia will supply the needful cash, the funds being at a rather low figure in the royal trea- sury of Denmark; so mu indeed, that the king is converting all bis valuables into hard coin. Accounts from Hamburgh confirm the report of a suspension of hostilities, at least on the soil of Denmark itself, An order of the day, issued by General Wran- gel to the German troops under his command at Kol ding, promises them a temporary repose from their fi tiguing duty; but he assures the army that peace will not be coneluded till the rights of Germany are fully secured, and the losses sustained by the German peo ple during the conflict, compensated. The Senate of Hamburgh have received a copy of the declaration made to the Court of Berlin by the govern- ment of Sweden: it is to this effect—that if the hosti- lities are not confined to the Duchy of Schleswig. and if the German troops enter any other of the provine of the Danish monarchy, Sweden will feel justified in sending amilitary foree into Denmark to co-operate with the troops »f his Danish majesty, in the defence of his territory against such invasion, or the landing within it of a German army. They will act, however, strictly on the defensive; and, it is added, the Swedish government will resort’ to no aggressive measures against German merchant vessels: they can enter and depart unmolested from all the Swedish and Norwe- gian ports as before. as long as no act of hostility is committed against these States. Corrxnacen, May 16. The number of vessels which have been seized amounts to about eighty, several of which. especially those from Hamburg, have very valuable cargoes. Itis untrue that Sweden refuses to interfere in the affair of Schleswig, as is delared by the German papers. Prussia, Advices from Berlin have been received of the 16th.

The Minister of Justice, M. Dirk Donker Curtins, then rose and addressed the Chamber.

The project was discovered two hours before the time appointed for its execution, and all tl conspirators were immediately sent to the fortress of Modlin, where they were shot. Ireland. At nine o'clock on Tuesday morning the several confederate clubs assembled opposite the Council rooms of the Irish Confederation, in D’Olierstroe proceeded, in marching order, led by Mr. S. O'Brien and Mr. Meagher, to the Inna-quay. They continued to interchange cheers with the multitude by which the streets and quayy were thronged, A tri-colored flag, suspended from a pike, floated from one of the windows of the council-rooms. ‘The court, as on tha previous day, was crowded. At half-past nine o’clock, on the entrance of Mr. O’Brien, the hon, gentleman was loudly cheered, as well by the outer bar as by the crowd by which tho court was thronged. Shortly after Mr. O’Brien’s appearance, Mr. Meagher entered, and the moment he was reeoguised, Mr. Charles G. Duffy called out “ Meagher,” upon which the outer bar com- menced cheering and clapping of hands, which was caught up ang continued for several minutes. After the jury had been impannelled, Mr. Perrin opened the pleadings, stating that it was an ex-officio informa- tion filed by the Attorney-General ‘against ‘Thomas F. Meagher, for making a soditious speech. The informa- tion contained several counts. ¢ case on behalf of the Crown was stated by the Attorney-General. As in the case of Mr. O’Brien, it was a mere detail of the statements contained in the speech of Mr. Meagher. Two witnesses were examined, including Mr. Hodges, as to the delivery of the speech, anda Major Drew, to rove the inuendos. Mr. Butt, Q. C., addressed the jury for the defence, in the course of which he casti- ted the Attorney-General for his presumption in ictating the course he (Mr. Butt) should pursue on that occasion. He also twitted him on his want of legal knowlege in criminal cases, and then proceeded to vindicate his client from the “charge of sedition Lee ore Against him by the Attorney-General. After his address to the jury he was, as on the previous day, hailed with loud and enthusiastic cheers, which chief Justice could not repress. The Chief Justice ing charged the jury, they retired to consider their verdict; but, as in the case of Mr. O’Brien, they could not agree; and, after sponding the night locked up, they were discharged on the following morning, (Wed- nesday).

In some few cases rather less money was taken ; generally, however. factors re- fused to submit to any decline, and we consider quota- tions about the same as on this day se’npight. The news from Hamburgh relative to further liberties being granted by the Danish fleet for neutral vossels to enter or sail from the Elbe and Weser had the effect of check- ing the demand for foreign wheat, and bas 4 retail sal could be made at barely previous prices.
