M. de Cormenin is the president of the comm‘tteo with framing the constitution for France. La- vxguatij, & Catholic priest, was also a member of the sume committee; he is also the editor of the New Era lately published at Paris, ynd conducted with » good deal of ability; he bad propared a constitution, and | drawn it out fully, which he had also published. ‘The | committee have, even, instead of asking for his consti- tution, charged their presidentto report the draft of one for consideration. This was done, and two important principles, to wit, a president and one chamber, agreed upon. M. Lamennais, in the mean time, resigned his place on the committes, alleging ill hoalth, which is | quite porsible, though others suppose sensibility had its influence upon him. Ho is s man of talent, as are & great number of others in the Assembly, and all in this committee; and as he and M Cogquile are almost the only two clergymen of influence in the Assembly, I think the people would ret to have them leave it till their grand business sball have been fully nocom- plished. Some further interesting details of Blanqui’s arrest, Ke. are now known, It appears that after his fight from the Hotel de Ville, as | have before ig 7 dis- . He is very off his beard, he personified ono of the fair French ladies yery well; yet the officers of the government wore after him; as he, perliaps, more than any other one, it was neseeenry, od desirable to farrost. He boldly addressed comtitunications to the press, and yet he totild not be discovered: It was rumored sometimes, that he was in Belgium, Brussels, &e, Atlast, news was conveyed to the executive that he was at No. 14 Rue Monlothen; and officer Zere was charged with the arrest of this celebrated leader, I will state, that all this time, he had kept up the thread of the correspondence among his confederates, and main- tained his position as their leader. The officer selocted four or five resolute and tried men, well armed, to en- ter the house with him; and took a small detachment of the National Guard, and placed them ata small dis- tance, not to excite observation, He entered the mansion house, communicated to the gentleman and lady his purpore, who said M. Blanqui was not there. He searched the house, both steries, in vain; but just before leaving, it occurred to him that there were more stories on the outside than he could find on the inside; and he then searched for a secret stairway, which he discovered, adroitly concealed, and leading into a dark passage. Into this, he ordered the gentleman and lady ‘0 entor in advance, as thert might be armed men ¢on- cealed; and he anid his associates followed. They pressed forward and upward, until they reached the upper story, where Blanqui_and a few friends were sitting at @ luxurious table, dining and drinking. Tho offi- cor xald, “In the name of the law, [arrest you, M. Blanqui.”” M. Blanqul replied, “1 believe you arrested the patriots under Louis Philippe.” "As teen Ra ee ote, retort was #0 much the more % were pre ions to Foslat;-but the offloer sail, Tieden anes Guards if you do not surronder.”? bfeaet then suid, “ Allow me to drink your health.” “I will stow you to rinse down the paper you have just swallowed,” re- plied the officer, and thereupon he took him into ous- tody, and left the house so suddenly and privately. that ne one knew, out of the house, that anything Unusual was tranapiting in it.

Neither of the Bonapartes voted on the Cogbige of the banishment of the i of Louis Philip. It is understood that the court will soon be organised for the trial of General Courtais. I presume these trials will be delayed till the public pulse ie a little more firm. The club of Barbes is again organised, aud they Keep open the presldenoy for him. Tam induced to think it will be some time before he fills it; although sooner or later, I think there will be an attempt made to rescue him. I have no apprehen- sion about the republic ; but I think there will be yet more disorder, and more stringont measures. but no capital punishments. OBSERVER. Pants, May 31, 1848, Excitement in the National Assembly—Lamartine Makes Peace—Characteristics of the French—Guards Na- tional and Mobile—.2ets of the French—Question of Immunity. Yesterday was an exciting day for the National As- sembly, but the termination was happy. The question which produced tho general agitation, referred to the line of demarcation betwoen the powers of ths Arsem- blyand the executive commission. Lawartine came to the rescue, recognized the right of the Assembly in tho fullost manver, to grant or revoke the powers of vag Executive; and sustained the position, that the Presi- dent of tho Assembly should be the judge when it was necessary for him to assume tho direction of the forces, to protect the Assembly. It appoars to me, that the Executive neither acted wisely nor diserectly, in send- ing into the National Assembly a deerce, revBking the powers of their president, and transferring tothem- selves, those which he had exercised. I do not wonder that the Assembly has struck out the provision, and re- served to themselves the right to dictate measures, upon such a contingency as that which happened the 15th May. If the conduct of the President, in that trying hour, was not satisfactory to all, neither was the conduct of the Executive any moro fee giant dy and while [ do not think that much censure ought to attach te either the aenaar thoir President or the Ex- ecutive, for the incidents of that day, I think that the obief praise is due to the Guards Mobile and National; and that they have shown much less timidity asa body, than eitherthe Assembly or the Executive, acting as bodies, Ans individuals, the French have no her either of personal danger, or of responsibility; but asa body, they sometimes have manifested a great deal more agitation than seemed to mo to bo called for. They are vxceodingly sensitive—alive to their honor, onal and national—and it is not surprising, per- aps, aftar what has occurred, that they should be over sensitive that such ecenes should not be repeated, and that they should be careful not to put it in the power of any one man, or small number of me: them @ second time. But there agitati a bad influence upon the public and tl again reacts upon the Aaxembly, en. The press in full of inaction of the Assembly. It scems as if it expected that 900 wise men would come together, and all be of one accord, and prepared to act without any discus- sion; and propound not only the wirest measures, but thore effectual to relieve the cougtry from all the evils which Cid it. While I adhere to the opinion that the republic ts safe—that the Kreneh have conducted with great wisdom and singular forbearance, I cannot help seeing and referring to some of the evils to which an inexperienced people, in a republican form of gov- verment, are exposed, in commencing their extraor- dinary course; yet under all these circumstances of excitement on the part of the Assembly. the exccutive and the press, the masses of the peoplo are calm, firm, and resolute. ‘The Guards thelr duty daily without hesitation or complal id the public sustain them in preserving order, and cnsuring tranqaillity to Paria and to France, The Provisional Government was obliged to acquiesce too in the continuation of good many evils and abuses to preserve peace and save disorder and perhaps bloodshed, which might well have endangered the republic itself; and now the government aro taking ® decree baniching the famil: France ‘eatweday, Lou com pointe Sith nf | Because all great many stepr to reform these evila; and upon these ——_ too, men take rides.

Grand Battle between the Italians and Austrians expect- ed—Swiss Recall their Troops from Naples—King of Naples has Recalled his Troops sent against Austria— Blood flows at Mayence—Yucatan. "The news of to-day is, that the King of Naples has recalled the troops, amounting to several thousand, which he had sent against Austria; and that the Eng- lish and Austrian ministers and his Majesty are united in the most cordial cooperation. The corps of Radwtski and Nugent have formed a junction; and although the nows of last cvening was, that the Austrians had gained some advantages, I think, judging by that of this morning, that it is not a fact, and that the Italian army are acting on the offensive and gaining advan- tages. But the Austrians have received reinforce- ments; and after this junction, are in condition, if ever, to accept the encounter which the Italians have been tendering them. 1 think,ere this, the two armies may have met, and fought s decisive battle. After the manifestation: Naples, I regard the Italian question as very critical, both for Italy and Europe. The Swiss diet are taking 8 t measures to cause all the Swiss troops to be recalled, and the greatest excitement is prevailing throtighout Italy upon the subject. Even the Pope i alarmed at the number of Neapolitan og now on their way through his dominions; as the treach- erous King may turn them against himself. Butwhile there is so much of indignation felt and expressed, and new exertions will be made to sustain the liberal party in Naples, Ferdiuand’s treachery bas shaken the con- fidence which the Italian States had in each other, as they do not know where next England may show her hand. That Charles Albert himself will be put to the test is very probable; and when ence treachery has entered into the Italian councils, and found a subject. no one knows where it may terminate. To-morrow, I think, something will be known of the course France will pursue in this extraordinary orisis. This blow may burst upon liberal Europe with the suddenness and the power of an earthquake. and create a corres- ponding senration. Blood continues to flow at May- nce; and the National Assembly at Frankfort, by a small majority, have refused to interfere at present ‘The discussion gave rise to = good deal of party and national fedling in the Assembly. Every humaneman in Europe is fejoiced that the people of the United States are about to lend their aid in protecting the people of Yucatan from massa- cre. The horrors of a massacre, by the Indians, in such ® country, can never be imagined. OBSERVER. Panis, May 81, 1848.

Council of Moderates have convoked an extraordinary diet, for the second day of July, and have invited the nation to volunteer in support of the country, “ whichis in dan- ger.” A letter from Gradde Corrisco, arrived at Pesth. says:—25.000 insurgents are marching against that city; that the Croates are triumphant at Neuhatz, and that the troops opposed to them have been disarmed. The Archduke Etienne has declared the Croates trai- tors, and the country in a state of siege. Baron Lede- rer, his aide-de-camp, the Baron Lippe, and Lieutenant Cersini, have been arrested, as the result of the inqui- ries instituted at Bude. jank of Epstsud has been supplying the Bank of Vienna with specie, a quantity of which has just arrived. The money of Englaud goes to Austria, and her squadron to Naples. The High Diet of Switzerland havo resolved, consid ering that civil war exists in Naples, that the military capitulations which have been hitherto made with that , cannot be maintained in the actual state that in the situation in which the Swiss troops at Naples are found, they ‘would bring dishonor upon the honor pf the nation, by their participation in a civil war, in which they would be employed against the general cause of liberty and the people, decree that the countries who have concluded military capitula- tions with the kingdom of Naples are invited to recall their troops. The Italian bulletin from the seat of war announces that their battering against Peschiora had eontinued all day, that the resources of the enemy were failing and their force diminishing; that the fort Mandilla was much dismantled; that there had been no diversion of the enemy either by Verona or Rivoli, to operate as a diversion; that the commander of the Neopolitan troops, when he had of the conduct of the king. made forced marches to reach the seat of war, that he rene receive countermanding orders; that the Swiss residing at Livournc had published a proclamation ainst the which their countrymen had taken in e affair at Naples. The Sicilians are coming to’ the aid of their friends in Naples. The civil convulsions at Rome are calmed, and all now is quiet there except the new anxiety as to the purposes of the King of Naples, who has near 25,000 troops in the States of the church, The Pope has sent to the King for explanations, since the news of the massacre. There troops are in the cities of Macerata, Loreto, Ancone, and Bologne. Most of them at Ancone ave left under General Pepe, who, when he received mes we from Naples, said, “montures que nous som- ns.! it irs that the Assembly Tight or power of tho King their sittinys, and that they are about to decide t qe stion againns the right of the King, and that they will proceed to form » constitution in con- with the crown, or in contradiction to its om- mands, asthe crown pleases. Under these ciroum- stances, Prussia is likely to have a constitution, and the King to be put in cheek. England ought to inter- fere, I think, and get up another massacre in Berlin,— Perhaps the Times will recommend it. Large compa- nios are giving charibaria to the obstinate royalists and enemies of the people, which creates a good deal of trouble at Berlin, and causes,some bloodshed, 1 think the power of the King is sinking every day.

National Assembly at Frankfort—Their Powers—Their Results—Some Speculations upon them—Rejection of the Constitution of the King of Prussia—Excitemen at Berlin—The King’s Rights Questioned—English Jew Bill Rejected—London will Insist. Tho German National Assembly at Frankfort, marks anew era in the history of the north, and is the most extraordinary Assembly that ever existed. It repre- sents thirty-e¢ven distinct sovereignties, cach havin & government of its own, some of one form and some of another ; from the empire of Austria and the king- dom of Prussin down to the duchy of Poson—all fo- reign governments—some ina state of revolution, and others im « process of reform, bordering upon that of revolution. Indeed Austria and Prussia are substan- tially In a state of anarchy, and both States at war one with Italy, and the other with Denmark. Neither of the latter of which are represented in the National Assembly.

What do the two sove- reigus of Austria and Prussia expeot, or Intend to do with this new herculean r? The King of Prussia, two months ago, when received the shock of the French revolution, issued s deores demanding 4 gress of all the German States. This, at first, was not well received by Austria, Bavaria, &c.,&o. It was then supposed that the king wished to place himself at the head of such a new organization; but since that time, under the auspices of the le, and sovereigns, and minister, (for ldo not undertana that objection has | been made tothe Congress from any quarter) an As- sembly has been elected, and not at nkfort, which, as referred to in a former letter, claims that all the constitutions of all the States represented must be made to conform to the provisions of that which they may create; and, unless they are clothed with this for what purpose are they assembled? , a8 indicated by the , and deprive the \y Is it merely as a body to p1 Diet? That would be fol of any power beyond that of an indivi or publig jour: But suppose the different nations resist, and refuse toalter their own constitutions in conformity ew one, who can coerce them?

It is understood that a majority of this Assembly, fuvor @ monarchical form of goverment; but that may not prove to be true; nor does it nge principle. Should arepublic be established, will the sovereigns abdicate? Then again, who is to bo the head, chief of this new power, and how is he to be chosen. and what are to be his powers and his duties? Ali these questions, it is presumed, the Assembly will, in due time, answer; but in the meantime, it is exceed- ing interesting to speculate, and contemplate the mdous powers claimed; and the mighty importance to be attached tosuch ® movement in the heart of urope. Proasia is still in great agitation; the Assombly just organized, have already maniferted a decided nance to th and, in this manifestation, they have been sustained by the people. ‘That part of the constitution, which provides for the appointment and election of the Upper branch, will meet with almost universal con- demnation; and the whole construction of the instru- ment will bo re-modeled. Many members have ready assumed the bold proposition, that it iz no part of the King’s duty, to provide the Congress with a constitution; but that it is their business to provide one for tho people. Indeed, ideas of freedom, and in- dividual rights—of the necessities of froe institutions, and a constitution to define the rights of the geverned and the governors; and of the capacity of the people to’ frame their own organic laws, have found their way into the German ceuntrics ; although the people have not yet learned, how much better they would vueceed in their new institutions, without those with kings. Many of the Germans read English, and they feel the influence of the English press upon their minds, in this respect, ‘The time will come, when they will gather more strength and confidence in them- and feel less the influence of a press, which is ile to the progress of froe institutions in Eu- rope The Jew Dill, 60 cal'ed, has been rejected in the House of Lords; Lord Wellington voting against it. ‘This will create more difficulty in England’ than the Spanish question.

The Procureur-General sent into the Chamber yesterday, a demand in writing. asking that Louis Blanc, a member of that body, should be put in accusation, and stating some of the evidence upon which he based his demand This motion was introduced to the Assembly by M. Senart. aud pro- duced tor a few moments the silence «f death itself; following which was a scene of excitement and dis- eedar seldom etfeided. Louis Blauc denounced the meonsatian. of. of ed yoo Tat the RaasA Bee Va which ake Be: ond ferred to his course in quisition for his arrest refers; reviewed his course upon that exciting occasion; recalled his words; and ap- pealed to members to sustain the truth of’ his state- ments. Many did so; and {think they correspond very aceurately with the reports that were, at the timo, given of that extraordinary scene. Four mombers of the Assembly had testified before the authorities to cer- tain words used by Louis Blane upon that occasion. The statement of these members was pronounced false by him, and by them re-affirmed in their places. ‘The scene became #0 exciting that no one could be heard when Cremieux, Minister of Justice, moved a refer- ence of the whole subject to a committes of elght- cen members, who are immediately to report upon the subject. It is said that the discussion has been most animated in the bureau, and that the result is yet very uncertain, That Louis Blane was carried round the chamber on the shoulders of the insurgents, was evidently thelr favorite, and by them relied upon as being one of thom, is very manifest: but that his lan- guage on that day, in the Assembly, was calculated to implicate him, is not certain, It is’ difficult to deter- mine precisely what was his language; but he was evi- dently circumspect, to prevent committing himeelf if he did commit himself; and without knowing what the result may bo, I doubt whether he will be be put in accusation, unless there is testimony against him other than that arising from his acts and ianguage before the Assembly, Whatever conclusions one may derive as an individual, as to the real truth of the matter, it does not appear tome that he ought to be put in accu- sation upon any legal evidence arising solely from that day’s proceedings. The Prooureur General is a reso- lute naan, it is said; and it is further said that he will resign his place unless the request by him made is granted. Louis Blanc said, “ This proceeding means me to-day; to-morrow you will be called for, It is an attack onthe Assembly, and puts all their lives in dan- ger. There is much force in this remark, and it is a Brave question—it will agitate France. Barbis, Albert, and Gen. Courtals were eo mantfestiyiguilty, that, al- though they were members of the Assembly,their accu- antion caused no agitation in the country. All consi- derations of the gravity ot such a proceeding, and of the danger of the precedent, were swallowed up in the enormity of their crimes and the crisis of affairs. But the case is now different, and the matter is a grave one for the Assembly and the country. ‘The. Minister of Foreign, Affairs made his report in reference to the massacre at Naples; but he produced no new facts, was very rererved, and desired the As- sembly to relieve him from any further interrogator at present upon the subject. ‘The press is terribly se- vere upon him; yet the government may be very ac- tive upon the subject, and acting moat wisely, at pro- sent, by keeping their own counsels, But, sooner or Inter, the executive must speak out, or give placo to those who will. France will not be quiet till effectual measures are adopted upon this subject. ‘OBSERVER. Panis, June 1, 1848.

The General then wrote to the King, “ That since the safety of the country demand- ed his services, he should nolonger receive orders from one of its tyrants.” The-die is cnst—the army pro- ceeds—and the heads of the King and General must abide the issue, ‘The Chamber of Deputies have also put at defiance the mandate of the King, dissolving them; and they have retired from Naples, to meet in some one of the provinces, In the meantime, every place is filled with prisoners. in Naples; and two or three thousand are already placed on board of some floats lying off the harbor. he news from the Italian army still favora the cause, though that of the junction of the armies of Radetski and Nugent is confirmed.

The question, whether Thiers, Emile Gi- rardin, the coutuater of the press, Cussidiere, who resigned under imputations, Emile Thomas, the chief of the Atalier, who was sent out of tho cot #0 mys- teriously arrested at Boulogne, and there set at liberty, &o. &c., creates great interest, and a correspending discussion. Paris to-day appears like one of opr cities just before a grand election. The halls are full of ‘addresses, lists of candidates, resolutions, &c. &e ; and the streets full of clubs of people, ali talking, discusa- ing, and playing off their witticiams. The ers in the interest of Thiers and Girardin are accusing those in the interest of the National, of pulling down the lists which contain the names of their friends, or of | striking them out; and the whelo scone, is becoming quite -eeperapt | In « few more elections they will learn the art of employing carriages to bring out the lame, halt, and blind, and in fine to imitate us in all thore arts by which success is sometimes secured at the ballot box. They also accuse each other of getting up false stories of declinations, &o, &o., of the candi- dates ; and are waxing warmer and warmer in the ways of these frauds over the water.

The French people have consented to see the palace of the Tuilorivs occupied by the masses and their wives, because it was made thereby a kind of hospital for the wounded, and they were therewith content, notwithstanding the incongruity between the not # single provision of that instrumont, which override all others, has been enacted ; it {s, as yot, o sinsple declaration of powers—and, yet, it may be ask- ed. if the assembly has not such power? Of what avail will be the work of its hands? It is not expected that any constitution that could be framed, would be 60 acceptable as to be adopted by all the States, if it was not cempulsory. And, again, In the present confu- dion, there are now governments, in many States, au- thorized to bind the people. This assembly, at Frank- fort, appears to have been an emanation from a revo- lutionary power—like a Provisional government—re- sulting from the necessity of the case, holding their power from the people, and overriding’ kings, princes ad constitutions ; and demanding, as in France, that 11 powers shall give way before it.

The Execu- tive have made @ long report in reference to the affairs of the 15th of May, in which I have not been able to discover any new and important fact, not be- fore known, except that Brenin went to the palace, and demanded of Arago its delivery to him; which Arago not relishing, arrested the gentleman upon the spot. The news of to-day, up to the latest hour, confirms that before referred to, of a rising of the Sclaves in Austria, and of a good deal of fighticg between them and the Austrian German population ; as, also. of the Emperor's determination, not to return at present to Vienna, and the dissolution of the University of Vienna, The discussions touching the eleven new candidates for the Assembly, from Paris. is growing more interesting ; and the friends of the different oan- didates, and the’ candidates themselves, are pressing ions.

Suppose you try it in New York? The course ot Eng- land, at Naples, has created a great deal of anxiety in Italy, but they will only fight the more violently. General Pepe has placed one of his subordinate Generals under arrest, who was disposed to return to Naples, and obey the order of the king. Thus bee land hag created un awful issue in Italy, which will cause rivers of blood to flow. The God of Justice will hold her to a corresponding responsibility. England has made her attempts upon Charles Alvert, but has not been able to control him. He sees his interest in the increase of his dominions, if he has no higher motive. Portugal is in imminent danger of 8 revolution. All the liberal Spaniards, flying from Spain, have been expelled from Portugal. The summer has so far advanced that many of the Parisians have left forthe country. Many go to Havre, Bordeaux, Nantes, &c., &¢ ; and to different parts of the country, where they can have the benefit of the salt water. Yet there arvngreat many foreigners in Paris; and no part of the year is more beautiful in Pa- ris than the spring and simmer months. Music, danc- ing, promenades, and ilfuminations, give a charm to the delightful summer evenings, which the population understand so well how to enjoy. The members of the National Assembly, and their families from the in- terior, are found mingling in large numbers in these scenes. Versailles and St. Cloud are now in their glory; and these palaces surpass,in the splendor of their furniture and paintings, any in Paris—that of the Tuileries not excepted. Louis Philippe has ex- pended a good deal of the public money in adding to their splendor; but he made but a poor fight, that he might continue to enjoy them. ‘The Duchess d’Orleans is now in Germany, with her two sons; and the faet seems to be well established that, since the death of her husband, she has been very badly treated by the king’s family; and that she found her residence with them very miserable one.

Pants, June 3, 1848, Ministers in the Palaces—-Sibject of Remark—The Le- gion of Honor—The Question of Banishment of the Family of Bonaparte--The Elections are Exciting Great Interest and Discussion. ‘An interesting and exciting debate arose yesterday in tho Assembly, upon the question of modifying or abolishing the legien of honor. It now {s worn by large numbers, having the effigy of Henry the Fourth; and there were two motions, one to change the effigy for that of Napoleon; and the other to abolish the “gow gaw,” as it was, unhappily for the nation, atyled, altogether—indeed, there was a third, to substi- tute an emblem of the State. In connection with this qnestion, was one involving the abolition of the act of 1832, by which the family of Bonaparte was banished from France. It was evident that the members, and the ple of France, attach the most sacred fecling to the legien of honor; and although the deoision of the uestion is deferred, they will not permit it to be abo- lished; they regard it as connected with the proudest days of France, and the manifestation was very «trong in favor of substituting the effigy of Napoleon for all | other emblems. Indeed, the sentiment of veneration and love for Napoleon is so strong, that the Aesembly will not listen to any proposition removing any thin; from the presence of the French people, associated wit! the recollections of himself. So, too, while they will | not permit Louis Napoleon, who has conducted india- creeily, to reside in Paris, or France; yet they will re- move any obstacle in the way of other members of the | family returning to the country and enjoying its privi- | leges. Cremeux, the Minister of Justice, anda man of much consideration, yesterday broke out intos strain of enthusiastic admiration of Napoleon, and carried | with him the Assembly, in an overwhelming expression | of admiration for the man and his deeds, le declared | the namo of Napoleon an “imperishable souvenir, | which would forever cover the country with immense lory.’?

The votes are being distributed in great numbers in every part of the city, and ad- dresses of the candidates themselves, and of clubs and | conventions are numerous, and some of them pretty | warmly recommending the names agreed upon.

Great men and distinguished women, of whom the nation is proud, have occupied these splon- did and magnificont mansions, and the French will perceive an incongruity in taste, as quickly as any other people. Ladies must be nplondid and accom- plished, not to suffer by a residence in such rooms. OBSERVER. P.S.—Last Tuesday, at the Church Ruid, an an- nual religious service was performed to the memory of Josephine, by a large concourse. Our London Correspondence, Lonpon, June 9, 1848. Matters in England—Preparations for a Universal Chartist Demonstration—Irish Matters —Bank- ing Business— Theatricals, §c. In these turbulent times your readers will natur- ally expect that I should commence my letters with an account of the chartist proceedings in England, who have been, during the last week, doing their work in right good earnest. Not a night has passed without severe skirmishes and conflicts having taken place between the police and them. Broken heads, arms, legs, &c., have become now regular occurrences, and the hospital dressers be- gin to have enough to employ them. It appears to be the desire of the chartists, by an unabated series of meetings, held at most unreasonable hours, to tire out the civil and military force. To agreat extent they have succeeded in theirendea- yors, for the troops have been under arms for the last ten days, and are impatient to have the ques- tion decided in some shape or other. Monday, the 12th of June, will be Whit-Monday, on whlch day the chartists have announced that large meet- ings will be held simultaneously throughout Eng- land. To be prepared for this, the government have already taken the greatest precautions to pre- serve its ascendancy. The special constables are all to be re-sworn, their time of serving expiring on the 10th; and it is resolved that on Sunday night they are to do street duty, in order to afford relief to the police, so that the latter may be pre- pared for any disturbance on the following Mon- day. Should they, by any mishap, come into colli- sion with the authorities, it was stated in the House of Commons by Sir George Grey, the Home Secretary, that, although the government were most desirous of avoiding any encounter, yet, if the police were in any way injured, they would be immediately withdrawn, and their places occupied by the military, who are to be placed under the command of the Duke of Wellington, Five of the chartist leaders have been arrested—Messrs. Ernest Jones, Fussell, Sharpe, Vernon, and Wil- liams—all of whom have been committed to New- pate, to take their trials. I do not think there will e any trouble to obtain ajury to convict them} as they have, by their insane proceedings, created many enemies. Mr. Fussell was the person who stood upon a tub in the midst of a common, ani asserted he would disown his five children if they did not acknowledge the soundness of the doctrine of “ private assassination.” If the cause could be weeded of such extravagantly absurd partizans as those I have enumerated, there would be a reason- able chance of the main portions of the charter becoming the law of the land. _ To-night, both houses of Parliament adjourn for a week ; ee they have plenty of work to do, still they must have their holydays. Nothing of importance has been debated upon in either house during the jst week, with the exception of the discussion of the Spanish question. ‘There wasa brilliant debate upon the dismissal of Sir Henry Bulwer from Spain, in which Lord Palmerston, Mr. Sheil, Lord John Russell, Mr. Disraeli, and Sir Robert Peel, took part. The members were almost unanimous in freeing Sir Henry Bulwer from all blame; indeed, the highest eulogies for his tact in diplomatic affairs, were showered upon him from all parts of the house ; so that the question rests thus at present, and is not likely tobe again. referred to. 1, however, send you a summ: oO the ope proceedings during the we: The new Reform League are having meetings day by day, in some of the thickly populated towns, where they gain many adherents to their cause.— Bath, Wakefield, Manchester, tat that ad and eae a, have been the scenes of their latest la- ors. Another of the Irish patriots, a Mr. Mea- pher, hag been arrested—not for sedition, but for epee So Pig constable, while in the execution of his duty. It appears that Mr. Mea- gher was marching at the head of his club, when the police eee to stop the procession, upon which Mr. Meagher struck the officer, an was forthwith taken into custody. The clubs in Ireland are as violent as ever, the cry for “repeal” being incessant,still no farther outbreaks have taken place since you last heard from me. The new Irish paper, or rather the new born United Jrishman, 18 now published under the title of the Felon, advo- cating the following principles:—That the Irish eople have a just Sid indplen ible right to this fund Ireland) and to all the moral and material wealth, arising therefrom, and to govern the same for their own use, maintenance, and comfort.— That the custom called tenant right, which prevails in the North of Ireland, is a just custom, both for north and south—that it ought to be extended to Ulster, and adopted by common congent in all the three provinces of the island. That every freeman, and every man who desires to become free, ought to have arms, and to practise the use of them,— That the sovereign title, and honor of the I people to Irish rule, are higher, more glorious, and more sacred than the title of any king or wean on earth; and that the life and liberty of the Trish people are, at least, as precious and sacred as those of our king or queen, of our viceroy, judge, sheriff, or juryman. How the last principle just enumerated, will be carried out, is more than I can venture to say. &. The proceedings of the provisional government in France are daily communicated to us through the several correspondents of the fail) papers, and afford tolerable satisfaction.

If he persist in opening his theatre, there will be a tremendous show of disapprobation. _ One of the most important meetings in connee- tion with the Lag interest, has been the annual meeting of the Bank of British North America, Mr. James Dowie being chairman. The report re- ferred to the probable reaction on the North Ame- rican colonies of a fallin the prices of agricultu- ral produce, contingent upon an abundant harvest in Europe, and it also suggested the necessity for caution in the business operation of the k, owing to the recent severe pressure on the British money inarket. It was stated that the diminution of the wet profits, as compared with those of had been occastoned by the increased amount set aside to meet the estimated losses of bad_ and doubtfal debts; and although the rate of profit during the last quarter was materially dimin- ished, by the precautionary measures adopted by ¢ directors, yet the gross profits of the bank for the year 1847, had exceeded, those of any former year, _ The net profits for 1847, after making the provision referred to, not being found equal to a year’s dividend at the rate of six per cent per an- num, it was announced that a half year’s dividend would be paid on the 5th July next, at.the rate of five per cent per annum. The amount of undivi- ded net profit to the Bist of December, 1846, was £61,457 83 6d.

Tne Harvest 1n France.—The Paris National states that, from all quarters, the most satisfactory accounts are received of the state and prospects of the harvest. All the journals of the Micatanats repeat that the ‘ oldest inhabitants” cannot re- member a season so favorable to the fruits of the earth. The corn is strong and well advanced, the heads begin to be heavy. The’ vines are covered with grapes and flowers. The grains are abundant, and already in many parts of the country it has been necessary to mow the artificial prairies where the luzerne, the sain foin and clover begia to suffer from excess of vegetation. Arras at Montevipro.—A recent arrival from Rio Janeiro brings accounts from the River Platte to the 20th of April; but the only item of ‘interest from that quarter, is contained in the following ex- tract from a letter received at Boston, dated Mon- tevideo, April 15:— As regards the political state of affairs here, they are in a most wretched state. The English Minister, Mr, Gore, and French Min- ister, Baron de Gros, have lately arrived, and nego- tiations are now going on between them and Rosas, and Oribe, the would-be President of thie republic. What the result will be, none can say, but the eneral impression is that it must be decided in the course ofa few days. They are said to have come out with full powers and authority to nego- tiate, from their respective governments ; and the general opinion now is, that the result must be, either an entire removal of the blockade, or else a very strict enforcement of the same. We are all in the greatest state of excitement at present, to know how things may turn—no one wishing to act until something shall be known decisive. This government is drained completely—the funds en- tirely exhausted, and unless England or France furnishes them further means to rosecute the war, the government must fall. ey have already called upon the merchants and residents for aid to the amount of $50,000 for one month more, which has been refused.

Such is now the state of affairs with us, and under such circum- stances terms of a peace are looked forward to with more fear than a continuance of the war.” Correction, A, statement appeared in the Herald of yesterday, copied from the Liberia Herald, published at Mon- rovia, on the coast of Africa, giving an account of the melancholy death of passed midsipman Whee- lock, United States Navy, on bord the United States brig of war Porpoise, We have since been favored with the perusal of a letter written .
