He maintained that each time that Louis Napoleon had attempted to enter France, he had been led to do so by his ambition, as nephew of the Emperor Napoleon. In consequence, in the mame of the tenth bureau. he had to propose to the Assembly not to admit Louis Napoleon for the de- partment of the Seine. M.

All these sto- ries of money given, were absolutely unfounded—Lonis Nay m2 had no desire to come to France, or to take his seat inthe Assembly, He (M. Vietlard) would read a letter which he had received a few day's before, from Louis Napoleon. The honorable reprosenta- tive here read the letter, writen from London, in which the writer declared that he was un- willing at present to enter France, where his presence might be a cause of embarrassment to the re- public, not on account of his opinions, but because he would, in all probability. be am object towards which seditious men might lovk for the purpose of forwarding their own views If his éountry wauted hig, he would hasten to enter the French territory; if not, he should remain where he was, in Englavd. Viellard th n asked if that was the language of a protender? and after passing a warm eulogium on Louis Napoloon. declared that the Assembly would act weakly and unjustly in maki! ny difference between him and the rest of the Bonaparte family - M. Manscnan spoke at some length against the ad- mission ef Louis Napoleon. He maintained that that person was @ pretender, and that if the door was opeued for one it was to give encouragement to the others. M. Fareveau declared that he could not believe that the Assembly would ‘disnaiss from his seat a repre- sentative elected by four departments. The rumors of conspiracy affixed to the name of Louis Napoleon were all false; no conspiracy existed. except against the weakness of the Executive Committee. The hon- orable representative alluded to the sceve of the day before, and asked, was it proper for M.de Lamartine to have taken advantage of a pistol-shot, which had gqne off by accident, to rush to the tribune and present « bill against an unofending man? He then asked if the Assembly had not the courage to admit the heir of the Emperor Napoleon? ‘Tremendous uproar greeted this demand. The Prestpenr felt that the reprosentative ought at once to declare what he meant by so strange an ex- pression. (Hear, ) Mr. Freseav said that he meant merely to speak of the glory of the Emperor.. He saw no reason why he was not, ina republican assembly, to express him. self freely relative to the Emperor. or any other que: In conclusion, the honorable representat declared, that he feared no emeute to the cry of» V Louis Napoleon '” though he should dread ong greaily to that of “ Vive la Pologne!’’ The best cry of all would be “Vive la souverante du peuple General Curment Thomas gave an account of the cireumstances which had occurred the day before on the Place de la Concorde, but he added nothing to what was already known. He could not tell whether the pistol went off by accident or not. The men who were present were in the crowd; were well known to the police as those who daily endeavored to excite dis- turbance at the Porte St. Denis and the Porte St Mar- tin; and that was the reason why he had ordered the aid, to explain his own conduct, ce in any way the decision. . Rere.uin spoke strongly for the non-admission of Louis Napoleon. M. Lovis Bvanc said that, asa republican, he must oppore the bill brought in he the Government Shame ‘ion be on him who attempted to forward hi il ambition! But he thought it wouid be importance to any one to exclude him, when elected by the people, from the Assembly The republic was now fixed beyond the power of buman power to cause it to recoil; and why fear any man? Republican ideas would advance so rapidly that noth- ing could withstand them. if left free career; but a measure like that now produced would be a means to impede their progress, by casting a doubt on their omnipotence. It would be unfair in respect to the republic to suppose the possibility of Lor being Emperor, and as to his being President. it easy to prevent it, by declaring in the Constituti that there should be no President whatever. The represeutative then diverged into a short dissertation on the organization of labor, amidst cries of * Enough, enough.” He next spoke of calumnies directed against those .who had devoted their life to the republic ‘This subject being also apparently distasteful to the Assembly, he went on to deciare himeclf against all kinds of conscripti: dat last left the tribune amidst loud cries of * divide, divide,” and the marked inattention of the house. M. Pascat. Durnar supported the exclusion of Louis Bonaparte. The lgw was aguinst his taking his place as a reprerentative. Neither the declaration of M Cremicux, as Minister of Justice, nor the wish of the Assembly. as expressed by an order of the day motive, could do away with the law which existed. The law still renMined in force, and he demanded to have it maintained against Louis Napoleon. M. F. Lastevaie must call for the admission of the re ntative whom the present discussion concerned He called for it in the name of the sovereignty of the people, because there existed what was superior to ail, even to the Assembly itself—and that was principles. It certainly was strange to appeal, under a republic, in | order to exclude a representative, toa law made for the defence of another dynasty which had now passed away. M. Lepau Rouuix—This question is too important for the Government to allow the discussion to pass over | without declaring its opinion. Yesterday it said, “A | law exists, and the Executive Committee will act on it until the National Assembly shall declare its opinion on it. We are now told that the law does not exist. Why, then, has any proposition on the subject been sent toa committee’ The law exists by the sole fact that it has been a question whether it shall be acted on or not, We have been told that we have violated the sovereignty of the people.

It has also been said tha: the Executive Committee had allowed it to be supposed that the law against the Bonaparte family was abroga- ted by permitting other members of it to take their sea in the Assembly; but to that I will reply by saying, that our colleagues of that family have never suffered any political condemnation, Besides, was the cham- ’ ber ignorant of what had taken place in the last few days? A judicial investigation has just commenced, and it has been discovered that money has been di: tributed, and the house from which ‘that money has come is known; wine hasalso been distributed; cries of “Vive Napoleon” have resounded in our ears, and th walls have beea covered with seditious placards.

This result was unexpected, both by the Executive Government and the public. The vote of confidence of the previous day had the public. for all manner of concessions on t! cf the Assembly, with the der ; but, unfortunately for the Executive Govern- mont, it had carried the yote of confidence bye coup de theatre. aud, notwithstanding the efforts of M. Le- dru Rolliuto frightem the republicans by informii them that Boaoapartist newspapers were Jaistributed, movey given in bags full,and allin the name of the empire, the thing would not do, M. Jules Favre gave M. Ledru Roilin's speech the coup de grace by acking if all these dreadful attempts were like the shots fii yesterday at Genrzal Thomas, which, though they had the effect of indaving the Assembly to pass a vote of confidence in the Government, under the influence of alarm, turned out, on inguiry, to be merely a single pistol which went off by accident, and wounded the person whose awkwardnoss occasioned it. The effect of M. Jules Favre’s advocacy, which was really very spirited, was to carry the motion, Prince Louis Ni poleon’s admission was voted by an immense majority, of which the exact numbers cannot be known, as it was par assis et levé In the division there were some very curious combi- nitions ; M.

A great number of members abstained from voting, The Patrie of Wednesday night says that, immedi- ately after the admission of Louis Bonaparte into the National Assembly, M Ledra Rollin gave in his resig- nation as member of the executive government. An- other paper, however, states that the question was not a cabinet ono, and that; the executive government de- termined, a short time before the sitting, that the go- vernment would not consider the vote as affecting its position, whether it was in favor of, or against the ad- mission of Prince Louis Napoleon. The great display of troops and National Guards which for the last few days were to be seen in all parts of Paris, and especially in the neighborhood of the As- sembly, are generally considered as having beon quite unnecessary. and as having been got up for the pur- pose of creating alarm. and thereby inducing the A: sembly to vote according to the wishes of the Govern- mont. Yesterday the troops in the place de la Con- corde, and the wholo of that district of the city, were actuaily.more numerous than the people. There were certainly a few crias of Vive Napoleon,” but they wero not many, and they wero always accompanied by the words le representant du peuple. As for disturbance or riot there was actuslly none, excepting that which was occasioned by the violence of the troops themselves. ‘The Rue Rivoli was several times cleared by charges of dragoons. This created a good deal of irritation. and the troops were occasionally hooted. Im the evening all was perfectly quict, Galignani’s Messenger says : “A considerable force of National Guards, Garde Mobile, and troops of the line, and cavalry, was posted yesterday round the National Assombly,and the Place de 1a Concorde was surrounded by detachments, so to prevent access to the public. Inthe gardens of t Tuileries there wasa large number of National Guards kept in reserve. There wore several groups of people on the outside of the line formed by the troops, and in some of the adjacent streets. There groups di materially from those of Monday, when the minority consisted of the working classes. Yesterday they were considerably in the majority. Generally speaking there was little turbulence in these persons, about ton in number, who set up cries, were arrested. It was repdérted that three m who had been arrested. and shut up in the Corps Garde, .near the Place des Invalides, had be liberated by a body of about fifty persons, who at- tacked the post, and disarmed the fi were on guard there. Another post was attacked and disat but most of the rioters were afterwards ar- rested. About two o'clock an atrocious atteck was made in the Rue de Rivoli upon a gardien de Pari named Savary. by a band of rufflans, some of wh were armed with knives and pistol. Savary drew his sword, and made.a courageous defence; he would, however, have been murdered, but for t vention of M. Hallez, Comi Guard of Barle-Duc, and M. Paillet, of the Rue St. Honore, who defended him vigorously. A detachment of dragoons fortunately came up, and the assailants, who were mostly men in blouses, fled in every dire tion. The gardien de Paris was taken to the Salle d Conferences of the National Assembly, with his cloth much torn and Lis faee bleeding. His sword wanafter- wards found in the garden of the Tuileries, where it had boen thrown by the meo who disarmed him. Last night there were no attroupements at the Portes St. Denis and St. Martin.” ‘The National of Wednesday says— de Persigny. who has made himself re- markable for his attempts in favor of Louis Napoleon, was arrested on Tuesday at his residence.

The Prince of Prussia has returned and taken his seat in the Tepresentative assembly. He was very coldly re- ceived. Great agitation is still visible in Prussia. DENMARK. The idea of peace between Germany and the Danes vanishes daily, and whatever inferences may be drawn from the replies of Lord Palmerston, or of Count Arnim, in Berlin, it is quite certain that peace is more distant than ever. While these ministers indulge us with hopes, the German Par- liament publicly declare that the war shall be car- ried on with redoubled vigor, for the honor of Ger- many, till every foot of ground which they call arom} is given up by Denmark, and this means nothing less than the whole of Schleswig. In the meantime, a vigorous warfare is kept up by the Danes, who gained a decisive victory over the com- bined forces on the 5th inst. The Danes com- menced the attack near Dubel, about twelve o'clock on Monday, the 5th, retiring slowly upon Dubel, where they were so well entrenched that they could defy the whole combined army, com- manded in person by General Wrangel in chief, and General Halkett for the Hanoveriaus. Three times they attempted to storm the entrenchment, but without the least success, and their loss was readful. Several battalions were “prea, § cut to pieces, and it is said upwards of 1000 men have been lost on this occasion, on the side of the Ger- mans, besides some thirty or forty officers. Mon- day evening and Tuesday morning, upwards of 500 wounded were brought into Flensburg; the loss on the part of the Danes was comparatively trifling, the men being well protected by the entrenchment, teary, gans doing the butcher work, against which the Germans had only their small field pieces, their heavy artillery being left behind. The troops are quite dispirited, and declare they. will not advance again upon Alsen, and it is now generally supposed no further attempt will be made upon this place again, The Danes remain in their position by Du- bel.. The Prussians are posted in Sunderwiitsch, having relieved the army of the Diet, who retired upon Flensburg, which place the Danes threaten with bombardment. __ j The appearance of things at Frankfort begins to alarm our good citizens; already we see a civil war, or the greatest anarchy and disorder through- out the country. A few weeks will decide the fate of Germany—the fate of the republicans, or that of the sovereigns!’ A very short time will also decide our annexation to the German Customs League, in consequence of orders. from the Parliament; the only thing to be bargained for, if possible, is for an entrepot. That the result cannot be questioned, the proceedings of the Chamber of Commerce show, and now Hamburg may bid adieu to its pri- vileges, its rights, and 1ts commerce. AUSTRIA. Caiay The Vienna Gazette publishes a ministerial de- cree, convoking the imperial diet, with only one chamber, for the 25th June, with an electoral law, according to which one deputy will be returned on every 50,000 inhabitants. The province of Lower Austria, however, in consideration of its commer- cial importance, will return 37 deputies, of which number 15 will be returned by the city of Vienna. Every Austrian citizen who has completed 24th year, is eligible, without distinction of reli- gious profession. 2 The opening of a Sclavonie os at Prague has : truck a chord in Austria which has vibrated thro the whole political frame of Germany. The alternative “ Sclavonic or German” never came forward in so prominent, so menacing a form as at the present moment. F ‘ The Cc Gazette of the 8th inst., in an able article on the actual position of Germany towards foreign powers, speaks of this movement in the following terms :— “A great danger threatens us from the Sclayonio tribes of Austria. The Sclaves will not be satisfied with being placed on an equal footing; they wish to dominate, They dream of a Sclavonic em It is easy to imagine what we it expect from a state where the preponderance of the votes would be two to one against Germany. If Austria is to continue in existence, we see no other means of its doing so, un less it become a true confederate state, 1m which tho individual nations will exist and distinct members of the whole state, .d in such guise that large space will be left to each for its own separate de- velopment. A simple majority of votes would be the most insupportable . Bat if Austria is really to fall to pieces, we have rights to make good upon ite territory. which a million German tongues will cry out for. and which are founded on the history of a thou- sand years * * *. Let then Germany watch with a careful eye over its German Austria, that it may not be swept away by events which may rush upon us like a whirlwind. But. above all things, let it not be over- looked that in the background of the whole Sclavonio inovement there stands the Czar and his Russians, with the threads of the plot in his hands.” The Sclavonic Congress has already commenced its deliberations. Palacky has been elected presi- dent, and the three principal sections of the Scla- vonic race in Austria are led, the Czecho-Sclaves by Schaffarkis, the East-Sclaves by Liebelt, and the South-Selaves by Stamatovitz. In the very first sitting, it was declared that Austria was to be a Selavonic empire, as the Sclavonic tribes formed its principal ingredients. “The Austrian Monarchy,” says a letter from Prague,“ is rent asunder ; but the struggle between Germans and Sclaves will commence ; the nation- alities will have a death-struggle with each other. Russia, which has hitherto remained quiet, will step forward in favor of the Sclavonic tribes of Austria.” Our Paris Correspondence. Imminency cf Counter Revolution—Dying Conditi Theatricals—.Agitation about Louis Napoleon. Panis, June 14, 1848. ‘We are once more in the midst of alarms and revo- yution—a counter-revolution, (call it what you will,) seems imminent. The truth is, the public has learn- ed that a republic does not bring all the sweets which were expected from it. Bankruptey stalks abroad, shops are closed and covered with bills, on which “Li- verty, Equality and Fraternity,” are repeated often enough to console the insolvent owner within. The gay thoroughfares of the Rue do ls Paix and the Rue de Rivoli are not inaptly compared to tho strects of Pompeii. The splendid hotels are some of them closed, and some kept open at a ruinous loss: one was men- tioned, a day or two ay sinee, in the Rue Richielieu, which was still kept open at » daily cost to the proprie- tor of 1000 francs. The only considerable hotel at this end of the town which pays its hoor is said to be Maurice's, which is so much frequented by Eng: lieh and Americans. The theatres are literally ruined, and for the first time in the history of Paris, such aca- tastrophe will be exhibited os the closing of all of public amusement ; such an event did not occur in the reign of terror, nor in the invasion of 1814 or 1815; but at present it seems inevitable. | have late- ly, from ourlosity, visited most of the popular theatres, and I ined that the few persons who were there, wore there on free ) sdinissions. — ‘The other night an oye com poeer, yy ee ia other times. could not only have filled the house to overflowing, but also have raised the prices.

At the time I write, the arrival of the Prince in France has not been publicly announced, but it is said that he is in Paris. Before I atch this letter, 1 shall, however, be able to supply particulars on this point, During the last week, the government has been 10 , by enormous attroupements, as they are here called. or mobe. as you would call them ‘in New York, which assembled nightly around the Porte St. Denis. These, for a few nights. were allowed to Lan without notice; but a law —. attroupements finally proposed and passed in the Asnembly, and 0 corresponding proclamation against them was pub- lished. After this, a strong military foree was march- ed nightly on the theatre of disorder, and immense numbers of arrests were made, in which were many foreigners, both American and English. Two attachés of the English embassy, and an Eng- lirh lady, in male attire, were among the number. The total number arrested in this way amounted to above 2000. Each night they were murched off to the Prefec- ture of Police and the Conciergerie, where they were obliged to remain until morning, and some even for two days. On showing that they were mere specta- pec those not culpably concerned were, at length, dis- missed. Among the interesting events which have occurred since my last, is the return of M. Thiers to the Assem- bly. He is elected for five departments, and will be, probably, for s sixth. No one doubts, that in the pre- sent state of public affairs, he must soou occupy a high position in the government; he is, in fact, the only man of administrative: capacity and political experience in the Assembly. You formerly expressed a wish that I should throw into my letters some of the more light and amusing matter, such as the gossip of the drawing room. Alas! alas! Paris is eee | changed since you visited it. The gos of society! why, there is no society; the word has become obsolete; the salons are closed; the brilliant receptions have ceased; the splendid. equi- es have been brought tothe hammer. Ofthe more affluent, three-fourths have emigrated, and those who have remained at home have closed their windows and doors, as families are wont to do in the. dead season in London, when they cannot, or will not, visit the water- ing places or their country seats. The bourgeoise are sitting in despair in their ty bureaux, and the boutiquerie are consuming auch portion of their former ains as they were fortunate enough not to lodge in e savings’ banks. In such a state of things where is the light intelligence possible for a correspondent to send you; the only excitement we now have, is the gmeute, ‘and the only musical entertainment the alarm m. Panis, June 15, 1848. The Money Market. Events here tread on the heels of each other with suoh rapidity—affairs so quickly ehange their aspect— the interest of to-day is so soon effaced by that of to- morrow—that it is difficult to distinguish in the course of a single week, the most salient causes of the fluctua- tions of securities in the Bourse of Paris. Resulting from this multiplicity of political or financial incidents, is a state of doubt and hesitation which would finish by suspending all business, if hopes of the crisis soon being brought to an end were not, almost against hope, for the moment, entertained. Since my last, the first event that occurred, was the dismissal of the law officers of the government, with the under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs: which would, it@as suppored, bring about some poli- tical consequences; it ended, however, only in a ministerial modification. .From this conflict, the fands were but slightly affected. The next point of atten- tion was the elections. At Paris, the Srieans pet are certainly the democratic socialists, whilst in alt other part of France order and authority have been predominant ; nevertheless, the Bourse has not con- sidered these latter nominations as a sufficient com- pensation for the influence of radical opinion in the capital. The fuuds have fallen, and this result has been augmented by the numerous a/t-oupemenis which, without adopting any decidedly tumultuous or men. acing character, have kept all the commercial of Paris in every evening. The threat of the banquet at Vincennes, ve some 50,000 or 60.000 were to assemble, without any alleged intention, but probably to work out the views of the enemies of order and seourity—has also exercised an evil influence on business. Amongst the members chosen, is Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, who is, as a nder to the crown, pro- scribed. and who, it was would, notwithstand- ing this proscription, present himself at the Assembly on Monday. This has hada somewhat serious influeace at the Bourse, since many parties think they forevce in these events, if not an incentive to civil war at least a brand of discord, and'the continuance of excitement. His baving been supported, too, by » party who lately held democratic opinions, and some of the <oldiery having saluted his return. by cries of © Vire U Empe- veur,” have not tended to religve the anxiety felt on this account. On Monday the Minister of Finance presented his financial scheme, which he has so sedulously kept se- cret to the Assembly. [u his address to the Assembly, he said :—“ The governmont, putting anide the diras- trous iiea of paper money,’ which would appear to something like a conviction of sound financial policy. His scheme, hownver, has been received with but little accord. and is almost universally condemned. His first to effecta loan from the Bank of France of 150 millions, of which one half is to be ad- vanced in 1848. and the remaining haif in 1849, a3 a guaranty for which the government should give stock from the sinking fund for 75 millions, and for the other 75 millions timber from the State woods, with power to re-sell it by public auction. The iuterest of this loan ia paid at 4 per cent per annum—the circulation of the notes to be agreed on between the Minister of Finance and the bank. subject to the ratifictian of the government. The next feature in his plan is to receivo directly from the Departmental Receiver’s General the sums which heretofore they had laid out in stock in Paris. giving them an amount of newly created stock in liew thereof. This he calculated would produce 25 millions. From the sale of State timber, salt marshes, and other sources he expected to realize other sums, as under.

A Sketch of thy Existing State of Political Feeting and Parties, in Germany. “A member of the extreme gauche said, lately, to the Prussian National Assembly, and to the ministers, “You saeer at the revolution towhich you-are in- debted for your presence hero ;”” whereupon, a voice from Ja droite answered him, “ Ysu attack the military, to whom alone the Prussian State owes its existence.” Ta these twoexclamations are actually characterized the two political parties in Prussia and in Germany— the one holding to the past and to privilege, is, with all its various shades of difference amongst its own members, comprised by the people, under the ono name of “ reactio! the other, the “democratic party,” Which the y of the people, demands equal for all, and, w! ppeians dsgrore of oneray, seeks to herr epg in a longer or shorter space 0! time, the abolition of all privilege and preference. The bulk of the former party consists of the mili- tary and civil employées of the government (these form the virtual nobility or privileged class in Germany), and at ite head are the Princes. As the re- presentative of this party, the Prince of Prussia stands chiefly obnoxious to the people's hat: nd next after the of the various States ; for the peo- ple’s loyalty, or, as others view it, their fainthearted- ness, shrinks from pointing at crowned heads as the source and fountain of the evil.

Afier & tolerably long discussion, Mr. Gachariac, the deputy for Grimmen moves—‘ Co: that the high im- portance of the events of March, to whic tion with the royal consent, we are in resent political state, and that the meritw of the eom- Batante in this rempect are unguestioued; considering, moreover, that it is not the province of the Assembly ‘to pronounce judgments, but to come to au agreement (vereinbaren) with the crown as toa constitution—that the Assembly proceed to the order of the day. The yotes on this motion were taken by calling over the names of the deputies; and the result showed 196 ayes, and 177 n to the order of the day, 19. decision, 2! though by a very small maj ciple of » constitution to be agreed on between the ed 2 and the nation, and the sovereignty of the people. Wh mind that the government has strained every nerve to procure elections favorable to itself, and that sin elections, opinion has ‘perceptibly advanced in favor of democracy, such an insignificant majority of the “ Reaction*—a majority small even beyond the expec- tations of the athe spperiarlis. of the latter in the most striking light.” Should the constitu ent assembly, in the course of its constituent labors, persist in its’ adherence to the principle of an“ agree- ment,’ anotherreyolution seems inevitable; as, indeed, addresses from all” of the kingdom have already notified. The excitement at. the motion of Mr. Be- rends being rejected, was excessive. Thousands were assembled in the vicinity of the Se: Constituent Assembly, and it was with : that the deputies Jung and B: could in vinces of Prussia, Pomerania, East and West Prussia per, the German portion of the Grand Duchy of osen, the Ukermark, and the Protestant part of West- phalia, serve more Dartieninaly as spesian and support of the “reaction” party, Of the remaindgr of Ger- many, Mecklenburg and the Tyrol are the most deei- dedly reactionary. The democratic party: which, after long years of preparation, has at length emerged into the light of day, enjoys as yet uo sounding name for her railying ery; for those who, by their speechos, in the former “ Landiag,” or by their writings, had opposed the old reign of absolutism, are for the most part unable to keep up with the present more decisive movement. Of all the Prussian delegates, Count Reichenbach, the founder of the democratic party in Silesia, is the most popular, and is looked on us the representative of de- mooratic views in the House, without having had, us et,any opportunily of demonstrating his capabilities for that tion, Jung, the founder of the demoeratic club in Berlin (though Indireotly disavowed by tt) possesses neither the talent nor the strength of mind. totake upa position by theside of the former, and stands in tho House,as he does with the people, iso- lated and unsupported. Of the notabilities notin the Chamber, Held, the editor of the Locomotive, onv of the most extensively read journals of Berlin, is the real man of the people. For a portion of his popularity he is doubtlessly indebted to his fine voice, and his gift of ready speech; in the eyes of many his character is equivocal. and his abilities mediocre. He is not with- out expectation of being elected general of the Ber- liner Burgerwehr, now that General Ven Aschoff’s unpopularity has compelled him to resign the post. Since the 18th and 19th of March, Berlin is looked. on as the chief seat of the democracy, akhough “ re- action’” still finds a strong hold here in the centre of the Prussian bureauocracy. Next after Berlin, on the reyolutionary side. ranks the wretobed and starved Si- lesia, with its chief town, Breslau ; and next to them. the Rhenish provinces. The Polish portion of the pro- vince Posen, so lately crushed and kept down with bar- barous severity, sees, in the triumph of the revolution; its only resoue. The recall of the highly unpopular Prince of Prufsia has, in Berlin and in the provinces of Prussia, brought over to the democratic party numerous adherents from the hostiie ranks. Out of Prussia, three-fourths of the grand duchy of Baden are republican; Vienna, which has upheld her revolution the most decisively, and the most success- fully, is in favor of a democratic monarchy; Bavaria, Wurteniburg, Saxony and Hessen, incline more or less to democracy; while the little principality of Alten- burg, but for fear of the Prussian troops, would have already proclaimed a republic. The head of the democ ratic movement in almost all German towns is the democratic clubs, of which the Berlin, the Breslau, the Cologne club, and the Leipsic Vaterlandsverein (now the Republican Club) are the mest important, and contemplate forming themselves shortly into a general Congress. Side by side with these, the Constitutional Clubs drag on & ttle rest in the hearts of the politically unsophisticat- ed Germans, since, as the manifesto of the radico de- moeratical party in Frankfort expressed it, the consti- tutional king is simply the fag-end of an absolute one. They are struck with admiration, it is true, at the wisdom which leaves to despotism only the sinecure of nominating its prime ministers, and begetting its suc- cessor, but find themselves incapable of creating such @ fag-end of autocracy for united Germany, over which, as yet, no common master stands, unable, in the year of our Lord, 1848. to solve the problem, howto gree rem tionably, the st cratic unquestional e strong- er of the two. both'in talent and numbers: While, on the side of the reaction may be counted the advantage mirable organization, of its strength in the d in the government officers, (with whom it is of life and, death) the vis inertie of the ad- vanced in and the love of quiet and profitable trade in the middie classes—the democratic party, om the other side, is upheld by the embittered feeling of t , by the aumber of young lite in the younger members of th community that theirs is the future, and the indomi- table longing of the human heart after freedom. The democratic party is, at the same time, the cham- pion of the unity of Germany ‘The sovereign prineas naturally enough oppose with all their might and mai:n a unity which would place the sovereignty they have hitherto enjoygd, under the control of the central board in Frankfort, as a srt of peerage of the empire. For this purpose it was that Prussia and Saxony con- vened their national assemblies simultancously with the Frankfort ono, in order to strengthen their sepa.- rate interests, 1d to the collective interest of united Germany. ‘Phe democratic party lastly stands up for the indo- mdence of all the various national ties that have n at different times brought under the sway of Ger- man princes. It hates and despises those cabinet pc- lities which trafiics in nations, and under which Ger- many has, for thirty three long years. endured most lamentable dismemberment and ion. Alison, speaking of the French revolution, asserts that the decisive interference of one energetic man would have saved the throne of the Bourbons; ¢. ¢., had the Bourbon throne not been worm-eaten and rotten, powerful su might have been found to prop it up with; and soit is with the German reaction. The feeling of decrepitude, in tace of the youthful spirit of | the mew era, makes it waver, and dictates to it mea- sures which its worst enemies could not have better chosen for its annihilation. At this present moment it is summoning up its last forces; the German demo- cracy. on the other hand, is essaying its first. A dull and sultry thunder-cloud looms over the whole land. All men feel that a fearful struggle, such as never yet has been recorded in history, is approaching; a strug- gle in which Russia and France, in which Europe and the whole world, will take a part, aud the eventual re- sult of which will be either another long and dren | night of barbarism, or the ever-during triumph of the | glorious sun of freedom, 8.

Pavssian Constituent Assemnuy—Sittina oF tHe 8TH or June.—The Prince of Prussia hay- ing returned from his flight to England, made his appearance in the House to-day, as tho de- puty for the riding of Wirsitz. A very stale and un profitable debate as to which portion of the pro posed project of the constitution should first be deli- berated on, was interrupted by the President. The Deputy for Wirsitz elaimed the ear of the House in a personal matter. The Deputy for Wirsits said he should have presented himself here yesterday, had not that day, (the anniversary of the death of Frederick William Ii1.) of a grief still frosh, detained him in the bosom of his family. He would now, however, first publicly express his thanks fur the confidence which had procured him a seat in this Chamber. He begged to bid the whole Assembly a hearty welcome, The form of government, laid down by the King, was that ofa con- | stitutional monarchy; and to this he should from hence- | forward devote all his energies. He invited the Assembly totake the old Prussian motto as a guide for them all— “ With God for the King and the country!” (Bravo from a portion of la droito ; hisses from the gauche.) Herewith the Prince quitted the Chamber. On the or- der of the day was the motion of M. Berends, the D puty for the third electoral district of Berlin : “ That the Assembly, in acknowledgment of the revolution, de- clare that the combatanta of the 18th and 19th March have deserved well of theirgeountry.” This was in fact the most important motion that had been made as yot; for by its treatment of this question the Assembly | would show whether he my the Constitution it in- | tended to acton the p inciple of the sovereignty of the people, or on the p neiple of legal compact (a “ Ve- reinbarung”’ as it is termed, in the plan of a Constitu- tion proposed by the ministers.) between the crown aea.tho representatives of the people, The Prosident | of the ministry.

It will be remembered that I announced formerly that the question was put to the vote of the population, by universal suffrage, An al most unanimous decision in favor of the measure was the resuit, and the government proclaimed it ac- cordingly.

The Provisional Government of Venice has decided that the question of annexation shall bo suomitted to the suffrages of the people of the Venetian provinces in the same manner as has been doue in Lombardy, and it is not doubtful that the same result will ensue, Deputies have been wppointed to communicate on behalf of Lombardy with the King of Sardinia, and the Chambers of Turin, as to the annexation.
