Whole No, 51220 = =_—_— NEW YORK, MONDAY MORNING, JUNE 12, 1848, AFFAIRS IN EUROPE. ADDITIONAL INLELLIGENCE OF IMPORTANCE RECEIVED BY THE STEAMSHIP ACADIA. SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE | oF THE NBW YORK HERALD. Our London Correspondence, Loxvox, May 26, 1848—6 P. M. Summary af European Intelligence. Where is all this to end? Since February last, enough blood has been poured out im Europe to float « fleet, and the artery is still open, notwithstanding the endeavors of the most skilful surgeons to stop tho homggehage. It can not be denied that Europe was apoptectic ; it had in many quarters glutted itself with the good things of the people, and a timely blood- letting, moderately applied, would have brought mat- ters right again—made kings aware of the fact, that there is a limit ever to tyranny, and all would have settled down smooth, But the copious streams that have poured forth, have paralysed the right hand and arm of Eyropo—commerce—or, at least, of a large por- tioa of Europe. Prussia’s treasury is empty—all the Northern portsare blockaded by the Danes—Austria is nearly bankrupt—France is literally cleared out, and trade neutralized; and added to this, the reaction naturally felt in all other countries in connection with those States, is lamentably severe. Ireland acts as a sort of poor man’s plaster on England, keeping her in con- tinual igritation ; added to which, Bulwer has been kicked But of Madrid—the arms of the English embas- sy taken down, bolding out a pleasant prospect to Spanish bond-holdors, The Emperor of Austria, has cut and run from Vienna, and curiously enough, has become more popular by it—the King of Sardinia de- mands payment ; he won't take less than for helping the Milanese—the King of Naples (il Re hombatore) has been massacreing his subjects to his hoarts’ content, and to the disgust of all Europe —evon Vesuvius seoms roused with indignation, and dense volumes of smoke and flame, with streams of lava are beginning to pour down her iron sides, threatening devastation to the peasant and the herdsmau, At Madrid every morning the sharp rattle of nusketry is heard. sending some poor devil to his last account. for the late insurrection, which neverthe- less has burst cut with fury at Seville—the city of pa- d dark eyes—and where the insurgents gained the upper hand. A change ef ministry has taken place at Constantinople. Mussurus, the unpopular ‘Turkish ambassador at Athens, has been nearly assas- sinated. Disunion instead of unity prevails in Ger- many; and France, to use Salvandy’s words, is dancing ona'volcano. The Jewish disabilities bill has beon thrown out in the House of Lords, by a majority of 35. Such ure the heads of the communication I have to take to-day, into which I now enter move fully, My last letter (from Paris) will have brought you a detailed account of the diabolical attempt of Barbi, Blanqui and others, to overthrow the government ‘This abortive attempt rather strengthened the existing government than otherwise; but the want of energy shown by Lamartine and his colleagus, has weakened public confidence in them. Dissentions of the most serious nature amongst the members—the resignation of Lamartine, &¢., were current to an extent, that it was found necessary to publish @ statement that the members of the executive government were purfaite- ment d'accord. which is very like an old Jew’s practice of hanging up an old coat, with “quite new,’ on it. ‘The following is the decree I allude to :— ‘For some days past, pervons who evidently wish to excite dis- order nave spread alarming reports. Justice watches over these machinations, and will know how to sei 5 he Puviic should be on its guard inst tactics, whi hare not new. It has been said, resaid, in al! quarters, that the executive committee of government had given, or was about to give, in its resignation. There is nothing true in this; there is not found- ed et ‘ese stories which ought for an instant to occupy serious: ‘inds.” 5 5! By way of shoving the blame from off the shoulders of the clubs, who are feared, the Nationel threw out dark hints that a reaction in favor of monarchy was at the bottom of the late attempt. A decree is now under discnssion in the National Assembly, for banishing for- ever the family of Louis Philippe from France. The Freuch princes have protested against such « measure. The féte ef concorde took pluce, as had been an- nounced. on Sunday, the 2lst. All passed off in the greatest harmony; but the greatest secret precautions Bere taken. as a plot was on foot to overpower and slay the moderate members.of the government. ‘A not unimportant feature in the occurrences of last week. is the publication of some letters from the Prince de Joinville, an attempt at a reaction in favor of mo- narchy. The Presse boldly takes up the cause of the fallen dynasty, The National. speaking of the recent proceedings of the Presse, says :— Yesterday the Presse, after drawing a very frightful picture of our present position, and having asked if the republic was to have a President.or hive Consuls, or five Dictators,or a committee, 1 being opposed to each of these plans, objections which it co ered serious, it eomes to the following’ significant conclusio ‘The situa ion is an impasse, out of which we cannot get wit out retracing om ” “MHonday’ the same journal ix still Tyore clear, so clear i hat it does not dare to take the direct responsibi- ligy ofthe iden which it cireulatos. It brings am imagmary citi on Gill, who, after arguing én @ preceding article in which France was compared to a sinking ship, concludes, with the most candid air in the world, with the following innocent phrase :— “Fit be to a general shipwreck the republican system is to con- duct ws, it is better that \e should return toa system which, in Print of fact, has given us seventeen y are of the greatest tran- 3 quiliity. GUSTAVE GILLES.” Here then is the question regularly start we now know where the is, Ho has established his headquarters in the ollice of the Presse, and it is the cit zen Gustavus Gilles, who is his trumpeter. The ) The Presse which iron is hot, follsws up M. Gi proposi from the Prince de Joinville to an officer of thenavy, for the sole purpose, as it assures us, of proving to the Natione! that the Grand Admiral is notin Paris, The proof is, in fact, conela- sive, and admits of no reply, for as the last of the letters is dated mt, near London, tho 11th May, it is evident that M. de 6, who was at Claremont on the [1th, could not bein Paris ‘on the 2th, the distance from England to France is so great. I From the theatre of war in Italy, I have but little news, Carlo Alberto is stili under the walls of Verona, and daily skirmishes take place. He has commenced the bombardment of Peschicra, He exposes his person with temerity, and was very nearly picked off by a c@anon ball the other day, which was aimed at him from the fortress, At Naples, there h St, Bartholomew. I enclose you the in England all is quiet. “The affair of Bulwer, is likely to lend to @ severe attack on Lord Palmerston. ‘The Spanish government accuses Bulwer with having fomonted the late insurrections at Seville. A Spanish Senator, Conte de Mirasol, arrived the same day as Bul- wer, in London, to explain this strong measure. taken by the Spanish government. Curiously enough, they both crossed in the same boat from Folkestone. ‘The question of the Navigation Laws, will again shortly come forward. Ireland is in that intermittent fever in which it has beon in for so long; an outbreak is daily feared, and daily postponed, ‘The State prosecutions are going on: a second edition of the great O'Connell trial. As this {san interesting topic to your readers, I must refer you to the papers for extracts, as it would be impossible for me to condense it in this letter, writing as I do, at the Intest hour, to send you the latest intelligence Lonvon, Friday Night, May 26th, 1848, The Derby and Oaks—Arrival of Sir Henry Bulwer from Spain—The Reform Movement—The Je abilities Bill—Railway Movements—Affai land—Ocean Steamers, §c., $c.

It will, however, be moved for at the earliest opportunity, Lord George Bentinck has unburdened Jimseif of a great woight; he forsook his sporting for aay and made along speech upon what he is pleased to torm the fallucies of free trade, in the course of which he strongly deprecated our intercourse with foreign na- tions, in & commercial point ef view, If the reins of government were entrusted to the partisans of this | gentleman, | fear our progress towards perfection wguld be slow indeed The Jowish disabilities bill, which pasted friy, aphant, | re | being'as yourself; each for all, alt for each,’ ly through the Commons, was thrown out last night, on the second reading, in the Howse of Lords, by & majority o Svery one imagined the great tion would have been in te Lower House, ad ths the Lords, after « few grumblings, would not have damaged it ; #o that its success was believed certain, only a formal readin, two being required to com- plete it. ‘This I communicated to you sume time ago; but contrary to general expectation, the Lords rejecter it, under the ostensible excuse, that its adoption would tend to unchristianize the land, ‘The tenor of the bill was to give to the Jews the same privileges a» are grant- ed to other sects in England—to allow th for in- stance, to sit in Parliament, and become eligible to fill official posts—no very ineo! say. This, the members of th once, acknowledging the unquestionable right of the Jews toan equality of privilepe. The aristocracy in the House of Lords have rejected it, although it had been introduced into the other House by Lord John Russell himself, Here is an instance ofthe prejudice and nar- row dealingsof an hereditary aristocracy in England, who do not apy to have the interest or welfare of the people at all at heart. They are, in fact, not in the slightest degree the representatives of the English peo- ple, yet they have had the power to overth row the de- cision of the Commons,who appreach more closely to be- ing the real representttives of the nation, Political opi- nions vacillate greatly in this country. I think that not- withstanding the cry there is for re! . the conserva- tive section manage to keep their giound. The fate of the Jews’ disabilities bill is one instance, and the same party have recently obtained two elections, one for Cirencester and the other for York, in the place of Mr. Yorke, of whose death I apprised you in my last. Mr. Milner is elected for the latter, and a Mr. Mullins for the former. They came in, certainly, by no great majority. but still by sufficient to insure their election. The railway world here is rather at a stand still: the English shareholders in the French lines, are by no mesns pleased with the conduct of the government of France, in appropriating the railroads into their own hands.’ It has been a heavy loss to many poople con- nected with the London Stock Exchange—indeed it has been disadvan’ ous to all who chanced to hold shares. Besides this, t! is not the mania this year for contracting new lines; all specninting companies being at # considerable discount. A day or two back, the commission who were convened to decide upon the comparative merits of the broad and narrow gauge, gave it as their opinion that a greater state of speed, combined with corresponding chances of safety, were attainable on the former, and a recommendation will shortly be issued to the north line, (Birmingham, &e.,.) to adopt the broad gauge. As far as private convenience ix concerned, the broad is decidedly supe- reor to the narrow. Ireland is inanything but a comfortable state. Bands ofarmed men march about the streets with military precision ; clubs consisting of from forty to one hun- dred persons, are organised in almost every county, under the titles of various Irish patriots, such, for in- stance, as the Emmet, the Grattan, the Fitzgerald, andthe like. The press is uncontrollable, the people are excited, thgLord Lieutenant isin bad odor, and the Queen is prevented from visiting Ireland by the threats that are openly indulged in by some of the moro violent repeal party. In addition to the government seizures, Mr. Duffy, of the Nation newspaper. and a Mr. Reilly, have been arrested, but without they are arraigned in a different mauner to Messrs. O’Brien and Meagher, no Irish jury will convict them. The English government have no sinecure with regard to Ireland, for every line of policy they adopt for the bet- ter mamagement of that country, only appears to in- crease the discontent that rages throughout the land. Some little rivalry exists in England, between the proprietors of the American steamers, and those be- longing to the Mail Packet Company. We were rather amused to hear that atrial of speed was determined on between the vessels of each company. ‘The American was the United States, which left three days before her competitor ; she was commanded 4 Captain Hackstaff; the other was the new steamer the Niagara, the mail boat, under the pilotage of Captain Ryrie; it is tho general impression that the American vessel will be the victor. We have not had any more continental revolutions lately of any importance. Spain, it is true, might be more tranquil, and so might Austria; the Em- ord of the latter place has flown. at least so he English are credibly informed in’ innumerable second editions of newspapers. The news of the changes of the forms of governnent on the continent have become so frequent and expected, that they ex- cite now but little wonder or confusion. The steady way in which the French are proceeding has re-assured us in this country, and we begin to regard them with more confidence than hitherto; although many peo- ple ure saaguine that they will be compolled to re-es- tablish a monarchy ; not, of course, so oppressive or tyrannical as the old, but a modified and more liberal form of government. Some extracts from private let- ters written by the Prince de Joinville, son of Louis Philippe, have been publiaHed, from which it would ap- pear that he has an eye tothe French throne ; but the chance his Highness has, is mere boyish speculation. The Duc de Bordeaux stands well to become King of France, and this you will find is not altogethenun- founded assertion. The Queen of England’s birth-day will be kept to- morrow, May 27th ; plenty of illuminations are in ps: paration, and dinners will be given by the Cabinet Ministers. The money market is improving ; prices are better, and the exchange closed to-day after the following fashion :—Consuls, 84% to 84%; reduced three per cents, 83!4 to 8334; new three and quarter per conta, 8344 to 834g; bank stock, 191 to 193; India stock, 232 to 234; India bonds, 21 to 25 premium; long annuities, 8i¢; Exchequer bills, 39 to 44 premium. c.

Tne Magnificent Fite de ta Concorde The great event here, since the date of my last, has been the grand spectacle of tho Festival of sraternity, got up to celebrate the establishment of the Republic. { will give you, in duo order, a report of it This fete, so often postponed, took place on Sunday and most brilliant it was. The sky was mocuificent ; somo clouds caused a momentary apprehension of rain, but they soon passed away, and 1,200,000 persons en- joyed, without annoyance, this splendid spectacle, so long expoeted, at which not only all Paris, but very many persons from the departments, were present. At 6 o’clockin the morning, the “rappel” was beaten, and at 5, the National Guard was in march on the Bou- levards and quays, from the Bastile to the Place de la Concorde, Ata quarter past 8, the executive commission of the government was received by the members of the Assoni- Diy on the paristyle of the Legislative Palaee, and the cortege commenced its march to the Champs de Mars, where more than 100,000 spectators were already assem- bled. The heights of Chaillot and Passy were also covered with people, A battery of ‘artillery placed on the esplanade of Chaillot. fired cannon, at intervals of five minutes, so soon as the cortege was in motion. Almost all the representatives were present at this fite given in honor of the National Assembly, and which had something in it particularly attractive, after the attempt of the loth of May. At half-past 9, tho members of the Assembly touk their places on the platform prepared for them in front of the Ecole Militaire. Many ladies, elegantly drossed were already sented there, On the arrival of the cortége, the mulitude clapped their hands, and joined in cries of “ Vive la Keoub- i * Vive UAssemblie Nationale !”° ‘The preparations were hardly terminated by the workmen at the time the cortége arrived. ‘The decorations were thus disposed :— Going down the Pont d’Jena, towards the Ecole Mi- litaire, there were seen— Four large masts, with oriflammes, At the entry of the Champ de Mars, two pyramids of a triangular form, covered with flags, or circular basos, having each at its foot three colvseal allegor statues, On the sides of the pyrami is were painted the names of the of France aud other countries | fiiendly to her. ‘Two other statues represonted agri- | culturé and industry. All round the Champ de Mars, were forty large masts, with ‘tri-cbioréd oriflammes, and trop.ies incolored | glass, four metres high.’ Between these masts, lances were placed, supporting oriflammes in colored glass, for the illumination in the evening ; and, beyond the | | terests. Probably the greater number of holders would | where the dividends which will be: | France, the government is at this moment reported to masts,on cuch side, a range of Venetian candelebras for the illumination, Sixteen pavilions, highly ornamented, surmounted | by antique trpods. ‘These pavilions held the speci- | mons ofeach trade. On each side of these pavilions wore tables for the banquet of the corporations, @ the midst was placed a colossal statue of the re- public, having a Phrygian cap, tho left hand resting on the altar of the country, and the right holding « crown and a sword. Opposite the amphitheatro, were two colossal statuos, one representing the army, the other the navy. The pyramid on tae left, on entering the Champ de Mars, bad at its base three statues:—Germany resting on a lyre; Italy holding a sword inone hand, and the tiara In the ether; and France having at its feet the Gallic cock, her hand on a stone table, on which was | iuseribed, *’ Abolition of the punishment of death, uni- | versal suffrage, liberty of the press.”” | Around the pyramid on the right wore seen the sta- tues of liberty, equality and fraternity; the first with | a mace and broken chain—the second holding the le- vel. Above mg J was inscribed, “liberty consecrates justice as a rule, the rights of others as limits: nature ‘as w principle, and the law as a safeguard.” Above | equality, “Phe tixtion reigns, the Iaw governs, The law is the rigid Jevel of equality, the peeple is sove- reign; the people's delegates administer.” Above fra- ternity, “be united one to another, low your fellow A cordon of nine banners, bordered with gold fringe, floated betweon the pyramids, On the middle, were these vetsos of Beranget; rmez une rainte alliance, Ec donnes yous le mai A double ine of thitty-two pedestals were placed round the immense cirous, On the top of there pedes- | tals wero triangular censers, In the intervals were | placed banners and trophies, | Tho statue of the republic, of which we have spoken, | ian figure with aserious countenance, clothed ina long | robe. Her right hand, extended horizontally, supports the olive branch and the sword; her left, failing natu- | rally by her side, holds 9 crown of oak leaves, Four \ 69. lions au couchant at the four corners of her pedestal, which itself rests on a circular platform large enough , to receive @ large number of persons, Banuers and antique vases in imitation of bronze, complete the de. corations of this principal figure. | ‘The first persons in the cortege were 86 men In black | coats with white pantaloons and grey hate, bearing banners representing the 86 departments. Then came the corporations, the delegates of the departments pre- ceeded by their banners, on which were many inscrip- tions. A cry of “ Vive ! Empereur,” was heard from some of the old soldiers of the Emperor, who could not but associate his memory with their acclamations, amidst the shouts of the aasembled multitude of “ Vive la Republique !” The different tr trades, came next, of observation. | _ The masons had the dome of the Invalides as a plan | in relief; the carpenters the labyrinth of the “ Jardin | des Plantes;” the cabinet-makers a square building | sorrounded by ® colonnade; the stone-cutters a model of a palace; the tobacco manufacturers a monster cigar | under a palanquin in red velvet, fringed with tobacco loaves of Virginia and Maryland; the baker supported by a bundle of long rolls and cake rist and feather makers, a dais holding fer flowers, elegantly arranged; steam plough was brought by the engineers; the printers had a printing press, with which they 'were printing off the “ Marseillaise’’ and the “ Chant du départ,” which they distributed to the crowd; the musical instrument maker, had a kind of pyramid composed of musical instruments; in front of this, children crowned with flowers bore banners of the art. On the banner of eloquence were the names of Bossuet and Berryer; on that of comedy, the names of Moliere and Scribe, on that of declamation, Talma and Rachel ; the old masters had their banners apart. The Bazaar du Voyage had a very elegant pyramid composed of game bags, umbrellas and various articles. ‘The upholsterers and gilders had sofas gilded and borately ornamented, covered in white silk VK with a beautiful vase of artificial flowers. The banner of the feather makers was surmounted by a plume of tri-colored feathers; that of the workers in steel glit- tered with boquets’ and garlunds of polished steel or- naments. ‘The goldemniths bad a splendid vaso, and a rich fountain splendidly worked. A beautiful vase and some fine small statues were exhibited by the bronze- workers. The armorers had a panoply of armor of the middle age with four warriers clad in complete ar- mor. ‘The porcelain workers exhibited magnificent vas. and figures in biscuit china, The bakers drew on o car a child representing cupid, the car being surroudn- ed by young girls. Besides, there wore the fringe workers, the saddlers, the coiners, &e.,&c., all with their appropriate pro- ductions. At last came the car of agriculture, surrounded by five hundred young girls clad in white and covered with oak leaves. Then came the Orphanistes, the children of Paris, the pupils of the conservatoire. Song resounded, cannons roared, an immense popu- lace poured its living waves through all the area of the cirous, the heights of Passy and the esplanade of Chail- lot rendered brilliant by the cuirrasses of the cavalry which glittered in the sun, and the plumes of the sol- diery which floated in the breeze. At this moment, the young girls sung in one vast harmony the song of the Girondins, and with an unanimous and melodious “Vive la Republique!” passing before the members of the Assembly, made thom an offering of thelr boquets. The whole population, Ministers and executive Commission, responded with transport. Every one was standing on’the platform, so that the ladies behind, were unable to see what was passing, but what will not the ingenuity of woman! they got on the boxes of the national guard. assisted by those gallant cavaliers, and thus satistied their curiosity. About 5 o'clock the troops finished defiling before the representatives, who were greeted by the National Guard by boquets, which they had carried for this purpose in their muskets, and by repeated and long jontinued shouts of Vive la Republique ! « Vive D.as- biée Nationale 1” In the evening the crowd besieged the quays, the Champs Elysées, the Tuileries; exclamations of sur- prise and pleasure burst from all sides at the fair jes, bearing specimens of their d many of them were well worthy = 2 Our Madrid Correspondence. | Manaip, May 19,1848. | The Disruption in the Amicable Relation between Eng- land and Spain. | We have just had here an incident which will set all the gossips in Europe talking. General Narvaez, the Prime Minister of our dear little Queen has very unce- | remoniously sent Sir Henry Bulwer, the British Ambas- | sador, about his business. ‘The day before yesterday a ‘note waskent to the British embassy, accompanied by the necessary passports for the Ambassador and his suite, intimating that he must leave before the expira- | tion of forty-eight hours, The alleged cause of this very serious proceeding, involving more or less risk of war with England, has been that Sir Honry Bulwer had, by his intrigues, aided in promoting and fementing the late revolts against the Spanish government, and especially the recent military revolt at Seville. Government ee seized, it is said, letters in ¢ransitu through the Post Office, which | afford conclusive proof of the complicity of the British | Minister with the insurgents, It is further reported that Sir H. Bulwer had an amorous liaison with a lady, the sister of one of the insurgent chiefs at Seville, and that her correspondence with him has been seized, and that it hetrays the whole secret of the affair. At all’events, the government have informed Sir H. Bulwer that they would not be responsible for his per- sonal safety longer than 48 hours. Accordingly, the Minist accompanied by his entire suite, except one attaché who remained as chargé d’ affaires, started in two travelling carriages for London, on the evening of the 18th, just twenty-four hours after receiving the un- ceremonious notice | have just mentioned, Alb diplomatic relations between the countries are, therefore, for the present, suspended. The British arm: are removed from the front of the Hotel of the Embassy. Our Milan Correspondence. Mian, May 18, 1848. Movements of the Austrian and Italian Forces—Inte- resting Condition of Things in Italy. Considering the magnitude of the interests at stake, and the critical situation of the hostile parties, you will be surprised to hear that little real change has taken place since the date of my last letter. The ar- mies of the King of Sardinia and Marshal Radetsky, are stillim presence on the plains of the Adige and the Mincio. Tho army of General Nugent still mancu- vres inthe Frioul, No movement has been effected, which has seriously modified the chances of the war. You will recoll:ct that the Austrian forces now in the north of Italy, consist of two armies sepsrated from each other by a long tract of country, one com- manded by Marshal Radetsky,and the other by Gen. Nugent, At the present inoment, the former reported to consist of somewhere about 40,000 men, is divided into four divisions, which are severally concentrated in and around the four fortresses of Mantua, Legnano, Verona and Peschiera, which, as you will seo by an map, form the angles of an extensive quadrilater situate south of the Lago di Gardi,and which is tra- versed by the rivers Adige and Mixeio. Tho main body, however, of this army is collected in Verona, the strongést of the fortresses, and in an intrenched camp immediately under its walls. The Sardinian army, and its auxiliaries, is necessarily disposed in a eorres- ponding manner; the main hody is in face of the in- trenched camp under Verona, A strong force, how- ever, is around Peschiera, which must be reduced be- fore any decisive battle is ventured at Verona, Ac- cording to the latest accounts, the bombardment of Peschiera had commenced, and its speedy surrender may be expecta: once accomplished, the force which invosts it will unite with the army before Verona, and a general engagement may bo expected. Meanwhile, the other army under Geueral Nugent, in the Erioul, h m making slow but steady advance. At the date of my last, it was on the T'ag- me ; the terraces of the Tuileries were illuminated; of orange trees shot forth their magnificent fires; the alley of Neuilly exhibited its lustros, its girandoles, its tri-colored arches of light, and later in the evening, the Barriere de I’Etoile became one mass of resplen- dence from some chefs d’euvre of pyrotechnic skill at its summit. Tho illuminations of private buildings were very beautiful. Notwithstanding the immense masses of human. beings congregated at this fite we have had no accident to deplore. Cannon were fired from minute to minute during the evening, which ter- minated a day consecrated to the real fraternization of the people. The following anecdote will show that the gaity of the French never forsakes them :—The artillerymen of the National Guard went to the Invalides to relieve the services of the old soldiers, when one of the latter ob- served “ Ma foi, comarade, you arrive tres @ propos, for T have been standing so long | am suffering from’ my He had two wooden legs. STIGATOR. INV! Panis, May 25, 1848. Paris Bourse and Money Market al events, which in ordinary times would affect materially the money market, and rumors that would immediately cause ® considerable rise or full in the fands, ure now almost without influence. Since the revolution of February, the coulisse at the Bourse and im the Passage del’ Opera, were nearly all specula- tions for the account; were carried on, has been discon- tinued, and transactions are now almost without ex- ception for cash. Capitalists have no confidence, and speculators are fearful of engaging in any operations that may turn to their loss or ruin, by the unexpected events of the morrow. Thus little or no business of importance is transacted, and that which is done is confined principally to purchases of small individual amount, made on account of persons in the provinces, but which under present circumstances are the regula- ting medium of the prices of the funds. Railways fluctuate, as the chances of a more or less advan- tageous arrangement with the government appear to be afforded by the projects of the government, or the movements of the companies. In short all is _uncer- tainty, and sets all judgment at defiance. ‘The principal events which have lately operated at the Bourse, have been the results of the movement of the 15th May—the project of the Minister of Finance presented to the Assembly as to the railways, and the budget for the coming year presented tothe Assembly by that minister, The first produced, aided by the purchases from the provinces, a decided rise in the funds, The railway project produced considerable bu- siness in those securities, and the budget has given rise to great variety of opinion, leaving capitalists in as much uncertainty as to the financial condition of the country as before. The railway project is to take the railways at the averege prices of the shares for six months before the 24th of February, and to give asan indemnity 6 per cent stock at the average price of the same period.

Treviso is tolerably fortified, oceupied by 14,000 inhabitants, who are aided by 8000 Roman vo- lunteers. Sorties have been made with more or leas success against the Austrians; and, according to the latest accounts, it seemed likely that the latter would be kept in check, and be compelled to procure artillery of siege before thetown could be taken, In the mean while, a considerable force under General Durando, is collected at a called Mogliano, half way betwoon ‘Treviso and Venice, so that if Treviso should surren- der, the force within it would retire upon this reverve, and the whole would form a body of troops sufficient to prevent the march of the Austrians under Nugent upon Padua, and their ultimate junction with Radet- sky. "» While these things were going on, the Sardinian tayl Neapolitan squadron, consisting of two frigates, five steamers, and two brigs were sailing on Venice, to raise the blockade established by the Austrian squai ron. These vessels were seen from the tower of St. Mare on the 14th, and they will thus have arrived, and have rendered Venice accessible from the sea. Such is the situation of affairs in the theatre of war, at the time I write. The critical question now is, whether General Nugent can form a junction with Marshal Radetsky before a decisive engagement at Vo- rona. The provisional government here have lately issued 8 proclamation, declaring that they believe the inde- pendence of Northern Italy can only be assured by the annexation of Lombardy to Piedmont, but not de- Psiring to take the responsibility of such a measure, they have determined to deeide it by universal suf- frage; the votes of the peopleon this question are be- Ing taken at the moment I write, ‘The Venetian provinces, incapable of maintaing their independenoe, separated from the other States of Northern Italy, would necessarily unite themselves also, and thus there could be one extensive kingdom extending from the Culf of Genoa to the Adriatio, ha- ving Venice and Genoa as ports, and Turin, Milan and Udine, as inland capitals. Such a State would form an impassable barrier against the encroachments of north: ern powers, and would thus contribute to the inde- pendence of the Tuscan Pontifical and Neapolitan States, ‘The small principalities of Modena, Parma, Riacenza, &c., are uniting themselves respectively according to their respective tastes to the Roman, the Tuscan, or the Sardinian States.

The Terrible Massacre of the People—The Beauties of > 4 Royalty, §c. The most deplorable events ,have just occurred in this unhappy city. Ferdinand II. and his troops have committed the most horrible massacre of the people. On Saturday, the! 5th, tho deputies assembled in the Salle da Monto OliFetto in preparatory session to mo- dify the form of thé oath to be taken on the opening ofthe Parliament. ‘This oath was couched in these terms :— : “I swear fidelity to the King, and the Constitution of the 20th of January.” ‘ The deputies were opposed to this form, because it was inconsistent with the concessions of the 3d April. Saturday and Sunday were passed in negociations.— In the evening, at 11 o'clock, it was understood that the King would not modify the oath. The National Guards went in @ body to the deputies and advised them tc be firm, About 12 o'clock a deputation was sent tc the King, but he only promised to give an an- onthe morrow. The Ministers sent in their re- when the King appeared dixposed to adopt ndification in these terms swour fidelity to the king and the constitution of 29th Jan- under the reset of explaining the statute according decree of Sil April. it was even understood that the king had ordered out the troops, and all arrang.inent becaiue impossible, the deputies judging that the king wished to settle the question by force, At half past 12 the National Guard began construct- ing barricades. At half past 1, the “ generale’? was beaten throughout the town. About 2, the troops, in- fontry, cavalry and artillery, left their barracks, and occupied the squares of the palace, the castle, and the market, The King learning that barricades were form- ed, consented to the opening of Parliament, without any oath ‘The National Guard refused to remove the barricades unless the abolition of the Chamber of Peers, the de- | livery of the fortresses and the removal of the troops from the city, were conce About 8 o'clock on Monday morning, the 15th, the square of the palace was covered with troops and can- | non ; the Swiss occupied the open space. At 9 o'vlook they made a movemeny as if to retire ; but at 11 a shot was fired from @ musket by accident from the ranks of the National Guard, who, thinking they were betray- od, immediately commenced firing. The Swiss, on their side, opened a murderous fire, and the artillery com- need to pour in grape against the barricades. ‘The | conflict then became general The National Guard sustained the fire on the barri- | cades without giving way an inch*for three hours At the commencement, the Lazzaroni appeared dis- posed to side with the National Guard, but induced by the hope of pillage, they took part with the troops, who broke open for them shops and houses,and excited them with cries of * Viva el Rey.” to the most brutal excess- es.

Many ‘persons known to entertain liberal opinions were taken from their houses and shot without trigl. The loss on both sides has been considerable during these eight hours of carnage. The itals are filled with wounded. One Swiss regiment alone lost eight hundred killed and wounded, amongst whom are thirty officers, * Emissiaries of Del Caretto aro said to have been in Naples, and to have excited the mob to the acts of vio- lence committed by them. ‘The Frénch ships in the bay received on board about five hundred of the inhabitants, and the French Admi- ral, Baudin, was #0 exasperated at this horrible pro- ceoding, that he wrote to the President of the Council telling him that— \ Rights of humanity and treatios had been, 0 violated by the ‘Néapolitan government, that he would give them one hour to put down disordor, and guaranty the aafety of peraous and. property ; and that if it were not done, he would bring all his fleet to | Naples: and land at the head of 9,000 men, to protect the rights of jumanity.’?

About six o’clook on the evening of the 17th an open dau, containing the Emperor and Empress of Aus- drove out of Vienna by the Maria Hilfgate, the Emperor acknowledging the salutations of the people, who supposed he was driving to Schonbrunn, One hour afterwards an empty travelling carriage, with the imperial arms, took the same route, and at nine o'clock four other imperial carriages, each drawn by six horses, passed through the gato, It was now evident that the imperial family had left Vienna. This event was made known to the astonished population on the following morning, by ® proclamation plncarded on the walls by the Pilleradorf! Ministry, which remained in office at the earnest solicitations of the Emperor and of the university. The proclamation stated that the Min- istry had only received a verbal announcement of this departure, which was kept a secret at the palace, and that the Emperor had gone to Inspruck for a change of air. It also announced that Count Hozos, the Com- mander-in-Chief of the National Guard, and Count Wilezek, had posted after the Emperor, to persuade him to return, ‘The rush on the National Bank was so great to get cash for notes, that it was found necessary tg shut the gates, Small numbers were admitted ata time, and their notes changed. The following is tho proclamation issued by the Mi- nisters:— “This ovening at nine o'clock a verbal communication was un- ‘expectedly received by the ministers that his Majesty the peak ial by the Empress and his Highness the Arch- luke Francis Charles and his consort, and the three princes, had, for ies cake of his health, quitted the imporial city, and taken the rout spruok. “Tho undernigned ministers, whe are unacquainted with origin and other circumstances of this jouracy, fesl thomselv: 2 called upon to make known the fact to tho inhabitants of the cay “The ministers deomed it their first duty to sond off during the night by the commandant of the National Guard, Count Ios. 0 person worthy of all confidence, aa urgent entreaty to his M1, the Sonperor: either ces which may render it impossibfe to quiet the anx'oty of his subjects, A sinilar urceut requost has beon for- warded to the archdake througlythe prosident, Count Wilczek. “The Council of Ministers, at this momentous eri sacrud duty to dedicate its undivided care and attention to ‘woal of the country, and upon its own responsibility so to act as circumstances may demavd, “The co-operation of their fellow burghers, and all right-minded ‘mon, will enable them to maintain peace and order,*and to allay all apprehensions, Whatever information tho Ministers may re- ceive on this uubject shall bo instantly, faithfully, and ciroum- stantially made known, and vo soon as they shall Feotive any eot communication from the monarei, it shall be published in- stanter. “Vienna, May 17, (Signed) “Puerspony, — Laror, SommaRuea, Dostuory, Kravs, BAuMGARTNER.’ The news that the Emperor had quitted the city pro- duced the greatest excitement. The inhabitants aro unanimously for the Emperor axd the maintenance of the constitutional monarchy. Several ill-advised young men took advantage gf the confusion which prevailed to proclaim the republic, but the people were excessively exasperated, fell upon them, and would have hanged them, if the National Guard had not in- torfered most energetically, and rescued them. All are acting in concert for tha speedy restoration of order, and a deputation has been sent to the Emperor, ex- ressing the universal desire that he will come back immediately. Great military precautions have been taken to pre- serve the peace of the capital. All the better classes of the population are in favor of the maintenance of constitutional monarchy. The Vienna Gazette is full of decrees, signed by the ministry, calling upon the people to maintain order. Martial law will be pro- claimed in Vienna, and two miles round the city, at the first sign of an outbreak. ‘The return of the Emperor to his capital was hourly expected. Some of the German journals give various accounts of the flight of the imperial family, but they arc in all probability made up of rumors, as they do not tally with she official statement of the Wiener Zeilung, al- ready published. We read in the Cologne Gazette:— “On the 17th, in the evening, their Majesties left for Schon- bran, where they got into their travelling oarriages.

I must not forget, however. to state that he has more friends here than the inhabitants of the Rhenish provinces give him credit for, Not that the citizens of Berlin ure in favor of a reaction, even ona small scale, but that the majority of them—certainly the vast majority of the higher and middle classes—entertain the con- viction that his royal highness is really disposed and prepared to accept loyally the new state of things, and to cooperate in the development of popular rights Without exactly possessing the ‘chivalrous’ disposi- tion attributed to him in the ministerial rescript pro- posing his recall, the Prince is of an upright and straightforward character, It cannot be said of him— ‘ty in another quarter—that he * doth protest too much,” but we may well apply tu him Ham- let’s exclamation—‘ Oh, but hell keep his word.” It is now understood that the Prince of Prussia has ex- plicitly declared to numerous private friends, who na- turally make no secret of the declaration, that he will openly and cheerfully aid in the consolidation of the newly-acquired popular privileges; and it is no flatvery to add, that his promises may be relied upon, particu- larly as the non-performance of the, progises which be is ready to make officially, as soon as dn opportunity afforded him, would be the signal for the total over throw of the monarchical prineiple in this kingdom.
