The Latest News, IMPORTANT FROM IRELAND—AFFAIRS IN FRANCE, germany, &e, Liverroot, Saturday, May 20, 10 o’clock. The news from Ireland this morning is most im- portant. Not satisfied with the imprisonment of Mr. Mitchel, the authorities of Dublin Castle have direeted the commissioners of the metropolitan po- lice to issue a precautionary proclamation warning the people against any further processions. It is said that the confederate clubs—for these are the pa determined to defy the government, and continue their processions as they have done during the present week. A letter from Dublin, informs us that the government had made arrange- iments to stop the processions, and that as the confederate clubs were expycted to walk-thit evening, a collision between them and the military was greatly apprehended. These clubs number ten thousand able young men, each of whom is said to be well armed, and properly drilled to the use of arms. An attack upon such a body, al- though successful, would undoubtedly give rise to a most sanguinary and bloody conflict. Since writing the above, the weekly organs of the repealers and confederates have been placed in ourhands. Mitchel again addresses the ‘“ Protes- tant farmers, laborers, and artisans of the North of Ireland.” His letter is dated, “‘ Newgate Prison,” and as bold and daring in its tone as any of the preceding ones, and concludes this remarkable epistle—written in such a place, and under such cireumstances— with the following sentences :— MITCHELL'S ADDRESS TO THR PROTESTANTS oF THE NORTH OF IRELAND. “For me, L abide my fate joyfully; for | know that whatever betide me, my work is nearly done. Yes,‘ moral force,’ and * patience and persove- rance,’ are seattered to the wild winds of heaven. The niusic my countrymen now love best to hear, is the rat- tle of arms and the noise of the rifle, As sit here, and write in my lonely cell, I hear, just dying away, the measured tramp of ten thousand marching mea—m: gallant confederates, unarmed and silent, but wit hearts like bended bow, waiting till the time comes. ‘They have marched past my prison windows to let me Know there are 10,000 fighting men in Dublin—‘felony?’ in heart and soul’ 1 thank God for it, The game is a-foot at last. ‘The liberty of Ireiand may come sooner or come later, by peaceful negotiation or bloody con- flict—but it is sure; and wherever between the poles I may chance to be, i will hear the crash of the downfall of the thrice accursed ‘ British empiro.’ * * * * * * . “JOHN MITCHELL.” There is to be a meeting of the confederate clubs in Dublin, on Morday next, in reference to Mr. Mitchel’s trial, and a meeting of the citizens to condemn the practice of jury packing in political trials, which, it is rumored, the government mean to revive in his instance. Our commercial letters from the city of Dublin, dated last night, state, with reference to the corn market of yesterday, that the demand for Indian corn having increased, prices rose from 2s to 3s per quarter—the rates paid being 30s to 32s tor white, and 33s to 36s for yellow. In barrel flour, no change was noted, and all other articles of the trade ruled dull. From the Continent, we have this morning re. ceived important and interesting news. Paris con- tinues trauquil, and our letters advise us of the ar- rest of conspirators. The committee for consi- dering the constitution are disposed to accede to proposals of a harsh nature against the ex-King. Amongst the committee on the subject are Dufaivre, and the ex-King’s friend, Odillon Barrot, and pro- poser of the regency of the Duchess of Orleans. At Madrid, nothing of importance had taken place. From Lombardy, we are informed that the pro- visional government had proposed to annex that State to Piedmont, as the only means of expelling Austria from Italy—to be decided by universal suf- frage. Vienna accounts, dated May HH, state that the bank had improved, in consequence of imports of specie, in silver, from London. More confidence prevailed, the election having taken a conservative turn, and the prospect of France taking part in the affairs of Italy being less unlikely. From Berlin, we hear that the unfavorable opin- ion entertained of the Prince of Prussia had been greatly modified, Loxpo, May 19, 6 P. M. Summary of European Intelligence. Allhere is quict—a bright sun and acloar sky— something, by-the-bye, unusual; and Feargus and Cuf- fay are asieop, God knows where, I begin my letter thus, owing to the accounts brought tous by the Acadia, of the anxiety folt at the other aide of the water respect- ing the state of “ merry old England.” If the Ameri- can public had paid attention to my letter in the New York Heraid, when I said that “ a fow heads would be broken, and nothing clse’—they might havo saved themselves agreat deal of anxiety. John Bull is a corpulent, anti-revolutionary gentleman, with an eye to his pocket. I conversed with many tradesmen on the momorable “ day of thagpecial constables,"—some of whom were special drunk in the evening—and all that I could elicit was, “Yes, sir, the not loss to Lon- don traffic, to-day, is 0 and so,” the amount varying to the speculative mind of my informant. In Ireland —(a hot potato which no doubt will some day be too hot for John Bull, and which he will let drop with a “let it go, and “oh,” and afterwards shake hands and stick “Irish warehouse” above his door, with the harp of Erin ina green ground, asa. sign board; but that day is far. distant)—the trials of Mitchel, 8. O'Brien and Meagher, are miniature copies of the great O'Connell's trial. They willall get off, and agitation will run as smooth as ever. I think the Irishmen in America have acted injudiciously in investing their capital in arms, and endcavoring to smuggle them con- cealed in merchandise, as it is rumored here to have been the case, ‘There’ is, however, » reform movement in England, demanding electoral reform, &o., but, mind you, a peaceable ono—so do not let our good friends over there start, A decline in business at New York and Philadelphia, is felt here. The Atlantic joins us, instead of separating us, ‘The indignation of the French at the quiet of Eng- land. is, at times, Indicrous, ‘They style the chartists and the plea that they are not accustomed to fighting, is laughed at by them. The following anec- dote is so rich, that] must give it. Wo, says the Cour- rier de Paris, (Sobricr’s organ.) or at least many of us, never had agtn in our hands before. We saw an en- fant du peuple.n vrai gamin de Paris, at the attack on ‘the Palais Royal, knocked down by’ the shock of his own gun, It was picked up by another, who was about to load it, when the prostrate gamin, rubbing his shoul- der, exclaimed—“It was not necessary, mon rieur. [ put in five cartridges, and I only fired it once, so there are four left!” Surely he can't be said to have been ne- customed to fire-arms. The first blow at tho navigation laws has been struck; and I trust it will not be long before the whole fabric falls down, As yet tho discussion has scarcely warmed, Gur fands are firm, and the crops in a flour- ishing condition. The war in Italy is carried on with unabated vigor, mething like a battle took place under the walls of ‘erona, in which, however, the Austrians had the up- per hand. The following is the official report of Mar- shal Radetzky. The battle took place on the 6th May. THY BATTER OF VERONA. “T have to inform you that I was attacked this morning, a little bofore nine o'clock, in my position en the Rideau, before Verona, nd especially om tho left wing, at St. Lucia, while, at the same time, the enemy cagement with a heavy eannonade in, which nilict Instod altogether fully eight hours, The bri wi h the courage of lions, Never have I hoard so well sustained afirons that which the enemy opened at this point, Only one short pause intervened during the engagement, in which time the enemy attacked St, Massimo, and made continual demonstrations azainst my centre and right wing, consisting of brigades Gyulin\, Lichtenstein, and Taxis, but was here foreed to retire. « briznde Stenvolio was obliged to evacnate St, Lucia, after a renewed aamwult from the enemy.

Prussia is in a most unrettled state. The accounts received in London, to-day, are most alarming. At the time of the revolution, the Prince of Prussia, you will remember, flew to London; he is said to have given the order to fire on the people when the horrible carnage ensued. The King has decided to reeall him, and a decree to that effect appeared in a recent number of the Staats Anzeiger. ho excitement this produced amongst the good Ber- liners, is indescribable.

The Progrese of the Reform Movement—The Navigation Laws—Failure of M. Jullien—The Queen's Levee The Irish Trials, $c. $e. $c. The Reform League, to which I pointedly alluded in my last lotter, is progressing with great success, and will soon become fully organised. Tho provisional committee have sent circulars to the entire body of the freo traders, containing a detailed account of the principles of the new movement, and requesting a re- ply. In nearly all the cases, the answers have been most satisfactory, only afew refusing to oo-operate with the reformers. In adidition to the questions it embraces, ina political point of view, it will endeavor to make equitable taxation a grand feature. As yet, nothing else materially important, has been executed by the Reform League. While upon this subject, it will not be out of place, and at the same time may prove useful to some of your readers, to give the amount of income and expenditure of this country for the last seven years :-— Net Net Income, Expenditure.

It is decided that no articles of consumption be imported here ex- cept in British ships, or ships belonging to the place from which the article is produced. 2d. ‘hat the pro- duse of Asia, Africa, and America, shail only be impor- ted by British ehips, or ships of the place that produces the articles, and that nothing at all shall be imported from Europe. 3d. That no goods be impérted into our colonies, except under these restrictions. At present, this is the tenor of the navigation laws, which it is id to modify or repeal. ‘he letter of Mr. Ban- Mr. Viscount Palmerston, was read during the dsbate. It urged that universal reciprocity was the only thoroughly uppropriate basis for intercourse be- tween the two nations, and intimated that if little was dono in this country, to promote this intercourse, little would be done in the United States ; but if much was done here, much would be done there also. ‘The debate stands adjourned ; there is, however, every prospect for supposing that those laws will undergo con- siderable revision; at the same time, I do not think it at all probable they will be entirely repealed. ‘The mo- tion is introduced into the House by a member of the government. Among the other bills now before Parliament is one to enquire into the condition of the collegiate insti- tutions, which it is alleged are in avery bad state. As an instance, it was cited that frequently at Canterbury Cathedral, the number of religious fanctionaries ix thirteen, and the congregation not more than thiee or four, Some very warm debating ensued upon the mo tion; but at present nothing definite has been settied.

Jia labilitie very heavy; but anxious to arrange things in cable manner, he offered a portion of his profe carnings until the demands of his creditors should have boen liquidated ; they did not, however, entertain the proposal as at all favorable, and accordingly M. Jullien has been gazetted ; his lorses have mainly arisen from his recent engagements with Drury Lane Theatr, at which place he has been endoavoring to ro-establis English opera, but with indifferent success. he amateur performances to whic I referred in my lottor of last week, for the benefit of Shakspenru’s house, have taken plac, but were most miserably enacted by the “distinguished literary men” with whose names you are acquainted—each actor endeavoring to make himself spoil the piece, It will be @ long time before a similar attempt is made. ‘Tho queen held her levee on Wednesday last, which, in consequence of the numerous fashionables in town, was very thickly attended. Sir Charlos Napier has just arrived in London from India, He wns landed on English ground by the same captain who brought to Newhaven thy ex-king of the French—Mr. Paul, the commander of one of the Channel steamers. ‘The pre- ciso object of the visit of Sir Charles is not known. ‘A mecting was held the other day in one of the me- tropolitan riding schools, for the express purpose of endeavoring to bring about a coalition between the radicals and the chartists, Mr. Joseph Humo was in the chair, eurrounded by many members of Parliament, the sheriff of London, and many of the most influential of the chartists, There was some excellent speaking, and many wiso resolutions wery determined. ‘There is, notwithstanding this demonstration, a wid barrier between these two parties, that 1 do not well see can be healed—but to accomplish a great political cause, most singular unions take place occasionally. ‘The grand point of observation, at this thine, ts Iro- land. “The trial of Mr. Smith O'Brien was proceeding when my last despatch left England; since which it has been concluded ina very abortive manner. ‘The counsel had epoken, the judge had charged the jury, and tho lator, after a long deliberation, returned into | court with the astounding intelligence’ that there was not the slightest possibility of their arriving at an unanimous verdict, and consequently they were dis- | charged.

The news of the disturbance in France the other day. and the tem- porary overthrow of Lamartine and his colleagues, caused a decline ot prices, Tho subsequent intelli- gence of their restoration to power, caused things to look better, and they’ have since kept 80.

CP. Panis, May 12, 1848, Action of the Executive—New Ministers—Vote of La- martine—Poland Demands the Assistance of France— Prospects of a European War Increase—Russia and France Ready—Views of the French People. The executive has appointed the ministers, as fol- lows: Cremieux, Justice; Jules Bastide, Foreign Affairs; Under Secretary of State, Jules Foore ; War, Charras; Marine, Vice Admiral Casy; Interior, Recurt; Public Works, Trelat ; Agriculture and Commerce, Flocon; Public Ig@truction, Carnot; Culte, Bethmont; Finan- ces, Duchito; Mayor of Paris, Marrat; Prefect of Police, Caussidiére, Five members of the provisional govern- ment are retained in the ministry, five more being the executive. _ The vote given to Lamartine, and the refusal of the Assembly to assign to him the presidency of tho execu- tive commission, eontinue to excite much remark and profound regret among the people of France. It will have the effect to draw the friends of Ledru Rol- | gyery;duy tho friends of the Lasked him why. “ Because if you wore English, you would not ice interest in recollecting the history I told him I was an American, and Shas Marshal Ney had almost as many friends in the nited States as in France Here too lie the remains of Laplace, Lafontaine, Junot, Cassimer Porier, and the heroic and devoted Labedoijere, Barras and Mo- liere, &e., Ke. ; but those of Lafayette are not heve ; they lie in the cemetery of Mont Parnasse. ‘The heart of Marshal Lannes is buried in the cemetery of | Montmartre, over which is erected « large stone monu- ment. All these burial places are tended with daily care, and the tlowers and shrubs watered and cared for with daily attention. ‘he monuments are generally | elegant, and many of them furnished with eandle- | xtieks of silver, wreaths, crosses and other furniture ay riate for the house of the dead.

Napoleon Bonaparte, the nephew of Napoleon, is a member of the National Assembly, and is the image of his: statues and portraits; and those who have seen the emperor, say the reseufplance is yery striking. He has made but one movement, in which he addressed a fow words to the Assembly, and in which he acted like man of fense and character—it referred to the foreign affairs, and upon the report of the minister, The world will again listen, probably, to the counsels of a Bonaparte ; and his voice may yet make Luropo trom- bie, like that of his immortal uncle. Whether Napo- leon's grand-nioce is as beautifu! as Pauline,leaunot say, but [have told you that she is tho most beautiful young lady I have seen in Paris, ‘Two Lafayettes are in the As- sembly ; one of whom (Edmond) was yesterday chosen to be one of the secretaries. The son of Murat has not yet been heard in the Assembly. ‘To mount the tri- bune, and to meet the rebukes and impatience of the Assembly, wless the speaker is equal to the place, is a fiery ordeal to pass through—he is not spared. Messrs. Lamartine, Arago and Ledru Rollin havo moved into the Palace of the Elysée Bourbon, which was a long time the residence of Bonaparte and Murat and in which Napoleon slept after his defeat at Wa’ loo—there stood his bed, as it was when he occupied it —and the room so elegantly fitted up by his aister. to welcome the return of Murat from his fleld offglory, during the campaign of Napoleon. Alexander and the Duke of Wellington have, too, occupied the same apartments ; and now tho Exeuctive of a republic are the incumbants, and hold the destiny of Europe at their will, ‘This palace is as memorable as it iy beauti- fal. But Madame de Pompadour, the mistress of Louis XV., occupied it before either emperors. kings,dukes, or republicans ; and the history of the Palace of Elysee Bourbon reveals the manners of courts, the revolution mpires, and the oppressions of the French people. The Elysee Bourbon has been preserved in the state in which it existed during the time Napoleon occupied it, and open to visiters, till since the révolution it has been appropriated in the manner above described. It stands at the corner made by the Rue Faubourg St. Honoré and a beautiful street leading therefrom into the Champs Flys Its garden extends into the Champs Elysces, and contains many interesting or- naments and mementos of the history of the past. Stocks are continuing to depreciate. The events are considered as rapidly tending to a European war. ‘ngland is making head against the influence of France, in every court in Europe, as far as is practi- cable ; and it would not be surprising if she were again found to be an ally of Russia, the great despot of Europe. England is interfering directly in the affairs of Italy and Austria, it is understood ; ‘and endeavor- ing to secure to Austria a part of tho Italian States. She is intimidating Charles Albert, as far as possible; and in this state of affairs, [should not be disappointed to see France move in preparation for war, Indeed, it looks as if freedom has yet to encounter despotism at the ay of the bayonet, and Europe be again drenched in blood, that privileged orders may exist in idleness andlive upon the earnings of others, and starve man- lin nearer to him, and perhaps, thereby, give greater adhesion to the government, and render every attempt to divide it the more difficult. It will create a feeling among tho French people, that will manifest iteelf, I have no doubt, upon the day of the féte, and in all other public places. It was a hasty act, probably, un- der the sting experienced by the defeat of the report of the committee, at the hands of Lamartine, But what choice was left tohim? On the one hand to as- sent toa plan which would give France no executive, save the National Assembly—no head to conduct the important affairs of the nation in war, civil or foreign. im peace ; or to addross himself to the Assembly, and call upon them to reject the plan of his more particu- lar friends. He showed himself to be worthy of the confidence France had reposed in him. and he did not hesitate to adap} his conduct to the exigency demand- ed, and to stand up for France, at the sacrifice of him- self. It was a division upon the question, most impor- tant, at this moment, for France, that he separated from his immediate friends and went with the friends of Ledru Rollin and others, carrying with him 411 to 385 votes, agalnat what might be coneldered the organ. ised majority of the Assembly. M. O. Barrot, the leader of the opposition in the Chamber of Deputies, minister under Louis Philippe the last three hours of his official existence, supported the report with great ability; and it was the effect of that speech that drew out Lamartinein reply. But this executive is only tem- porary, and I have no dowbt that Lamartine will have assigned to him the first place under the new consti- tation—at least, the present state of public sontiment demands it. Poland has made a formal demand upon the French for assistance; and it is understood that the subject is now under fall consideration. _ The spi- rit of the nation is in favor of coming to the assistance of Poland; and [entertain the impression that it will manifest itself to that effect in the National Assembly. Lrogard the circumstances as tending more strongly, tho last week, to a European war, than previously. The declaration of war by the Pope against Austria — the demand of Poland for assistance upon France—the mutiny of the National Assembly in France, and its sympathy for Italy and Poland. all conspire to increase the chances in favor of a European conflict. The féte of the 14th, will express, by its emblematical figures, the naion and sympathy between France, Germany and Italy; whether Poland is intended to bo included or ex- cluded by this, does not sufficiently appear. But there will be no manifestation of sympathy for Rome, Austria and Prussia, The elements are in motion for th» developement of extraordinary events; the struggle, inall Europe, has not abated: it may not be as striking asin the moment when kings were hurled from their thrones.and the dynasties of ages overthrown; but the clements of power are assembling, and preparing fora terrible conflict ; yet the sword may not be invo- ked as the final arbiter between the power of the people and of dynasties and kings ; but the blood that is flow- ing in the war between Prussia and Denmark—the Germans, and Poles, and Austrians—the Italians and Austrians—tho Sicilians and king of Naples—and the preparations of Russia and Franoc, yet behind the scenes.—portend an awful conflict of arms. To live under fcee institutions. or to di in fighting for them. is the firm resolve of the people of continental Europe. Continental Europe canuot be judged. in this respect. hy England or Ireland—with the former, words aro fow ; the stern purpose of the people manifests itself by the most resolute and determined acts, To die for the country is the sentiment which now animates conti- nental Europe, and from which no one shrinks. Life seems now not to be regarded as of any value, except Ana meaua of effecting the liberty of the prople—-the Marsellaise in sung by every man, woman and child, in public and private, and its sentiment adopted fully by the people—if necessary, thousands of women would put on inon’s apparel. and take the planes of soldlers— there are probably but few excoptions in France ; and the loss of a father, husband or brother. in battle, does not cost a toar—he died in glory, and his country em- balms his memory ; and his friends aro ready to spare him for that purpose. There is no shrinking from any danger, or tho prospect of any danger; and all stand ready, at a moment's notice, to march up to the can- non’s mouth, Noone could bo a coward In Irance, or shun death at the call of the country.

A procession of men favorable to giving aid to the Poles, composed of several thousand, formed to convey # petition to the National Assembly for that purpose, and their approach to the chamber had been deprecated; and the papers had expressed the opinion that it ought to be represented only by delegates—that so numerous a body was calculated to create alarm; and the National Guards ought not to permit it. 1 have been to the chamber, on the Place de la Concorde and Champs Elysées, and the Place de la Mai of which are in the vicinity; and there is no ap; ance of disorder; and only a few thousand me gd seer who appear to be in good cheer, and are sending up their vivats to the orators who are addressing them upon the subject of Poland, and the necessity of ab- staining from all assemblages calculated to create alarm. The National Guards, to the number of twe or three thousand, I should think, are standing, sitting, and lying about the chamber of the National Assembly, and marching about the Place de la Concorde and Ma- deline. It is to be regretted that these alarms are beaten, to call out the guard, in one sense, as it gives the English and others unfriendly toa republican form of government, an opportunity to alarm Europe, and present the condition of affairs in Paris and and in another sense, perhaps, it is beneficial, for it proves the determination of the people to main- tain order, and the National Assembly free from dan- ger, and the promptness with which they are always ready to form in lize of battle, armed in the most com- plete manner. To-day, stocks have falion, as there is great anxiety ne, all and inereasing expectation of a European war. France begins to think that it will yet have Russia, Austria, and Prussia to fight; and itis not improbable that it will be so. England has labored assiduously to hold the sovereigns of Austria and Russia in their places, and to prevent the establishment of a republic and the propagation of republican ideas, as far as practicable. That kings and their supporters have had much to do in stirring up ill feeling between the people of Germany and Poland, there is no doubt, At first there was a generAl burst of enthusiasm in Germany in favor of Poland, and against Russia; but lately the facts are different, and there is not only ill will, but much bloody fighting, between a portion of the people of the two countries; and Germany seems to be about as near a republican form of government as was Louis Philippe at the commencement of his guration, The aris- tooracy of Germany is opposed to a republic, and Eng- lish influence has been active in counterac! an tendencies on the Rhine. Metternich England, is lsuded by the lish press, and receives great attontion from the English aristocracy. He is said to bo in close correspondence with people in Aus- tria and about the emperor;and within a few days, the minister who was his successor, and under his influ- ence, the people have forced to resign. ‘The condition of Pruasia and Austria presents a re- markable condition of political events. ‘I'he people, by arms, have overthrown both governments, and held the existence of both sovereigns at their disposal.— Yet they do not depose them formally, and expel them from the country, but allow them to hold their places, nominally, at least, and leave them in a condition to intrigue with their own people and foreign powers. Apparently, they do not understand that the existence oficial, of a king. is incompatible with the liberty of the people; and that sooner or later, the king will erush them, unloss they do him. Germany, and Aus- tria, and Prussia must learn the lesson, by experience, which Louis Philippe and Charles the 10th have taught the French people, before the people of those countries will be ready to establish a government of the people, instead of kings, Much ti has been gained, and will be retained, under any eiroum: by the peo- ple of those countries; but they are evidently not in a | should be a body to discuss and deliberate, as well | Works—Legislation, Civiland Criminal—to which was | added one of Labor.

All Germany in attempting to form a government that shall ho neither a despotism nor a republic—since they are floating about in a state of anarchy, and uncertainty, like a ship wrecked, with neither compass, rudder nor sails. Kings, aristoora- cies, bourgoise, and people, are commingled together ; and while there is little struggling and shedding of blood, there is little progress made towards tha ostab- lishment of a permanent government. In the mean- time the German and Polish population are fighting in & manner most desperate, and every day renders their diffloulties greater. England is an obstacle in the way of tho establishment of any Government, but that of a monarchy ; and Russia stands ready to use her tre- mendous power upon the Rhine, as sure as a state of thingsin Germany admits, or demands it. for the pres- ervation of despotic governments. Poland ispressing France to declare war, infavor of her national indo- pendence; and, it is believed this morning, that Ital is about to invoke the aid of France, and that a Frene! army will, in a few days, cross the Alps into Italy, It is said, and believed at the Bourse, that 200,000 men have been called; but [ see no evidence of the fact, boyond that stated—but itis manifest that the Na- tional Assembly are preparing to settle this weighy question without delay, In this debate will be heard tho voices of the descendants of the mighty dead, and the illustrious living, of the present age. ‘The grand fete which was to have taken place to- day, has been adjourned one week. Tho reasons as- signed are want of time for the necessary preparations, and the proper representation of the departments ; but I suspect that the agitations of yesterday have some influence upon the question, and the movement of the masses upon the National Assembly, to press it to give aid to the Poles, So many hundreds of thousands as- sembled together under such stimulating excitements, might lead ‘to bloody collisions and untoward events, which would disturb the peace of Paris.

The columns on euch side of the entrance are in preparation to be raised ; but the labor is very great for such a feat, and will not cost less than 1,500,000 francs, probably—the government estimates it at 1,100 000 francs.

Orders were given by the General, on the spot, to the Guard, to give way, and to allow the procession to pass, Upon the presentation of the procession at the gate, upon the other side, a si- milar order was given to allow the procession to pass to the entrance of the Chamber, which tho brave eaptain of the Guard refused to comply with until it was ro- duced to writing; then it was executed, and the pro- cession entered the hall. ‘The members, kpowing what orders had been given for their protection, upon accing the approach of the multitude, exclaimed, * We have been betrayed.” Immediately the Chamber became a scene of confusion—the insurgents took possession of the tribune, the seats, and the chair of the Prosident of the Assembly; and, after making certain accusations and declarations, declared the Chamber dissolved, and formed there a provisional government, composed of Barbis. Blanqui, Louis Blanc, Raspail, Caussidiere, Le- roux, Hubert, Cobet, Flocon, Proudhon, Ledra Rollin, and Albert. Barbes. General Courtais, and Albert, wero actively engaged in the Assombly in assisting the conspirators, being themselves members of the Assem- bly. Barbis was manifestly the leader, and he assumed the chair, declaring the Assembly dissolved—that a milliard should immediately bo assessod upon tho rich; that whoever beat the rappel thereafter, was a traitor, and without the law; and that the new government would forthwith repair to the Hotel de Ville to organ- ize. The insurgents, in the moan time, took Louis Blane upon their shoulders, and carried him round the hall in triumph. Hubert ‘first declared the Assembly dissolved. Blanqui, and other conspirators, not mem- bers of the Ausembly, made speeches, The Chamber was filled with flags, and vinate for Poland, Barbés, Louis Blanc, and the Committee on Labor. Ledru Rollin at- tempted to speak and to appease the many, and to re- store order; but they would not hear him. Other members attempted to speak ; but they were put down by tho confusion and the members themselves. Cries of “Vive Pologne” were constantly sent up from the outside, which encouraged the conspirators within. At last the rappel was heard to beat, and the conspira- torseried, «They have come to shoot us—let us hold the representatives here as pledges of our safety.” Soon the National Guard enter the Chamber with bayonets charged—the insurgents recoil before them. General Courtais, the commander, orders them to retire and leave the Chamber—one member of the Guard stepped up to him, and gnid : commander, you are a traitor. epaulettes’ uniform, and his sword taken and broken before him.

Great Agitation in Paris.—Grand Procession for Po- land—Bonaparte in the Assembly—Poland and Italy —War.—Champs Elysé Paris [is much agitated to-day. This morning the streets were filled with people, and clubs discussing the question of interference on the part of France for the protection of the Poles. Notices were published upon the buildings in all directions, of a reunion of the fcionds of Poland at the Bastile, for the purpose of marching ina procession to the chamber of the Na- tional Assembly, with a petition calling upon that body to come to the rescue of Poland, from the massacres that Prussia, Russia, and Austria are committing in different parts of thecountry. Thousands of spectators, ladies and gentlemen, congregated in the garden of the ‘Twillories, under the shade of the magnificent forest which adorns it, to witness the approach and passa, of the procession, This grave question was discussed there in the most carnest manner, by thousands—the whole assemblage was a great debating club, discussing the question, upon the decision of which, depends the peace of Europe—for atime, at least. At about one o'clock, there was a rush to the margin of the embank- mont, and the head of the procession was then seen ap- proashing the Place de la Concorde, through the Made- line and Rue Royal. The French chapeaux waved in numbers at the head and throughout the whole length of this imposing body of men. They had neither arms nor music, noc drums, but cheer upon cheer groete; upon their approach ; there had been » large mass of people attracted at the north end of the bridge leading from the Place de la Concordo to the chamber of the National Assembly, for two hours or more; and bodies of the National Guards were there to prevent their approach to the chamber—but when the proces- sion arrived, the Guards mado way for them ; and the baxners of France were seen moving slowly and majes- tically across the bridge, and the procession with them, at the same time. The rear columns of the procession continued to fill up the Place, «nd to approach, as far as practicable, the bridge, then crowded by the head of the column, At the south end of the bridge the head of the column halted ; and about fifty delegates were seen goon after ascending the steps to the chamber; some were in black suits, and rome in blue frocks, and they were enthusiastically cheered as they passed up the steps. In about half an hour they returned, and were cheered as before, by the eoluima in waiting. ‘They addressed their comrades, and all at this moment aro apparently waiting in their places, in tho burning hot sun, to be informed of the action of the Assembly, It is an important day for France and for Europe, and is life or death for Poland.

But soon there was to be anend to their glory. ‘The National Guard appeared, and instantly forced their way into the presence of these new pretenders; and ar- rested them, and all present. Barbés, Albert, and ‘Thore refused to walk to prison, so the Guard dragged them—sometimes head first, and sometimes feet first— keeping their bayonets well directed towards their bodies, Sobrier, the new Minister of the Interior, was arrested by a deputy, who caught him while he was drinking ina shop. on the way to his office. About sixty of the leaders have been arrested, it is anid.— Among those arrested, aré the General of the Guard ; Barbes and Albert, of the Assembly, and tho latter a member of the provisional government ; Cauasiditre, one of the new ministers appointed by the supreme exe- cutive, and others of some distinction. Louis Blanc protests his innocence, and is not arrested. Lamartine and Ledru Rollin, arrived immediately after the Na- tional Guard, at the Hotel do Ville, and gave the most prompt orders for the display of cannon, and the most effective measures for protection. No one supposes that Ledru Rollin has had anything to do with this move- ment—or that he is not sincere in arresting it—but they think the investigation may show him connected with preparations for similar movements upon former occasions ; but it may be all prejudice. Col. Clement Thomas, o brave man, and member ef the National Assembly, who appears to have followed Barbis closely, isappointed, by acclamation, commander of the Na- tional Guards. The Guard Mobile were immediately under arms and on the spot, as soon as it was known that there was difficulty. This has brought matters toa crisis—the manifestation has been immense, in support of the government and order.

Paris this afternoon is entirely calm—the Place de la Concorde is surrounded by the National Guard, and no one is permitted to enter upon it.

The petition for Poland was a well devised pretence by the leaders, to enable the multitude to enter the Chamber; and the corruption of the general was equally necessary to give success. Probably not fifty men in the procession were aware of the purpose of the leaders; and it was by acts and appeals, after the multitude entered the Chamber, that step after step was taken, until the President was driven from his chair, and the Assembly declared dis- solved, It is equaily remarkable for unanimity of sen- timent which it has developed, in Paris, in fayor of the government, and against the project of giving the Poles any 1n the present condition of Fram The dignity of the Assembly, and its calmness du: this exciting seene.is spoken of generally with unlimit admiration, as well as their promptness and efficiency suppressing the insurrection, and seizing the criminals as soon ns the opportunity for them to act had arrived. ‘They allowed the conspirators to proceed far enough to commit themselves.
