General Manziente command- ed them ; and it is said that only about five hun- | dred have escaped by getting oa board the steamer Archimides. The numb: rs engaged are not stat- | ed but it is known that the Calabrian forces were | large, amounting to many thousands, against whom the king sent hisarmy. The batcle is represented a having been of a desperate character, in which man fought against man with bayonets and knives. A se- cond royalist force is al-o represented as having sur- rended upon the news of the defeat of this grand army. the artillery has fallen into the hands of the Yorurgente, If this information be correct, and it seems to be regarded ax authentic, an important blow has been struck against the king of Naples, which will affect him seriously in the very citadel of his power; and, perhaps, result in driving him from the country, At the other extremity of Italy, the news indicates that Charles Albert is waking up from his dreams, aud Pe. ttack, in force, Verona. It is time, if he to save his character in his kingdom. At the game time, the Minister of War has been making some extraordinary discloeures in the Congress at Turin. one of which is, that he udvised nid to be sent to Vi nice inseason to have defended it against the Austri- ans, but was prevented by council of Generals to whom Charles Albert submitted the question; that im the second place. Durando was ordered to withdraw from the city, and not rixk # battle, but that he dis- obeyed his orders and fouvht; and in the third place, thet pretty much all thr officers in the army are inoa- pable of performing their duties; and that he had ‘urged upon the king to send for a well known Lieuten- | ‘ant General, to take the command of the army, which couns | was rejected, as the king was determined that Italy should do it, These seem to be extraordinary disclosures to make, in the present juncture of affairs, and we should suppose that their effect could not be favorable to the Italian cause Charles Albert has sent for more troops—and beth Austria and Italy ap- pear to be preparing for » severs combat. How far the English will succeed in buying off Charles Al- bert, and how far they have already crippled his cpera- tions by their threats and power, ean only be in- ferred from their aiding in the manoeuvres at Na- Re, and their movements in other parts of Europe, to same effect.

Grand Measures of Yesterday in the Assembly. | The acts of the Assembly yesterday were very | important for France, and tended to give a decided | character to the new odminisiration of General | | eays, the journals, and the prefeots of police, | reference to this aot of Rusets MORNING EDITION----NEW YORK, MONDAY, JULY 31, 1848. Cavaignac. General Oudinot and M. Senard were the agencies through whom it spoke to the Assem- bly; and the measures proposed, and the language employed to explain their meaning, and the pur- poses of the government, were alike forcible, and settled the question, that all the powers of France are to be employed in the maintenance of order and public tranquillity; and that tha government are to have no trifling with offenders, exoept in arresting them ' and bringing them to a severe punishment. The work is to be thorough; and hence grand measures are being taken accordingly. The Minister says, the government has been strovgly solicited from the interior of the country to put ali France in a state of siege; and al- though that measure is not now considered necessary, they will adopt itof it becomes necessary, to hold in cheok the wicked spirits that are thirsting for the blood of society; that, God willing, these men should be re- strained, and society preserved from their malevolence, His sentiments met the rapturous applause of the As- sembly; and his measures were udopted, to the extent demanded, almost without debate, M. Senard rises higher and higher in publio estima- tion, as the public danger presses, and as he is called upom to perform new and responsible du He large numbers, in the interior of France, are the leaders in attacks upon the Assembly asd upon society; and tl ig is applying the remedy, with all possibie de- spate! The proposition to establish an army of at loast fifty thousand men around Paris, besides the Garde Mobile, Garde Kepublican, and Gend'armes of Paris, and some thousands of urtillerymen, was adopted without debat and the proposition io repeal the decree of the Pro sional Government, limiting labor to ten hours a day, was received with great favor and was postponed only because the Minister of Public Works asked it, fora day or two, as he had some propositions, from’ both masters and workmen, under cousideration, which he wanted more time to con-ider, ‘The law requiring 24 000 franos to be deposited with the government. before any presa can be estan ltanad | with written dccumentsin reference thereto, to be file | with the government, and the enactment and renewal ; of certain legal provisions. by which every author is liable to fine and imprisonment, who makes an attack upon property, the constitution, laws, Assembly, &., Ke., as al-o the law regulating the clubs in Paris, pro- viding for the presence, in all cases, of a government officer, and the punishment of the authors of any at- tacks upon society in them, and of the officers of such clubs, for permitting any such attacks to be made. and other mest rigorous and stringent measures; these laws were received with universal approbation, their urgency declared, and put in @ condition to be enact- ed, as roon as the order of the day would permit,which will probably be to-day. And upon the inquiry of M. Flocon, the Minister auswered, that the existing law would be enforced against all presses, until the one proposed was adopted. The insurreetion, and change of men. have brought about a new state of things in Paris; and yet, General Cavaignac and M. Sen: are among the most liberal- minded republicans in France, consistent with public order and respect for the laws and society. But they are men for the occasion; and, as danger increases, they rise in strength to meet it. General Bedeau has accepted the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. General C. bas, therefore, secured him Gens.

OOSERVER, Panis, July 12, 1848. Votes of the Assembly--Characteristics of the French—News from the French Islands—Other Matters. Among the peculiarities that mark the French, is their love of the fine arts and public amusements * they will have these at any expense and at any sacrifice in ether respects. They have here no cold winters, no time when women de not sit out all day in their shanties beside the streets, or upon the public seats, bare-headed, with no unusual clothing about them, and sell their commodities + never wearing a glove or mitten upon tneir hands, and never actually needing any fire in their houses, though fire is acceptable, it is not necessary to prevent suffering. Living out-door, eating out-door, and needing only a place to sleep in, the French never | anticipate want, and amusemeats are to them a aub- stitute for bread—and tbe administration feels the necessity of providing it, when individual enterprise faile to do it. ‘These observations will explain the vote of the Assembly of yesterday, giving to the National Opera 170,000 francs, and to the other theatres $00.000 francs ; and declaring them to be measures of urgence, they voted the sums without dubate, beyond the explana- tions of the Minister proposing them. ‘he alteroative prevented of having them shut up, on giving them thissum. But this is nothing new in Paris, the royal government paid (some of them) large sums yeariy ; | and now the representatives of the people do it by a unanimous vote, at a moment when France #0 pressed for means, and has so many new sources of expense to ahs ho The service for her insurrections, the repair of damages, her fétes, and hor funerals will not be small this year, amounting to several mil- lions of franos. There was aiso voted a compensation to an association of stenograpbers, fifteen in number, who are said to feos ee) debates ana proceedings of the Assembly with wonderful accuracy. Could not this idea be uxe- fully employed in our country, to give the people an exact transcript of the proceedings of the Congress of the United States and of each one ot its members? ‘The news from Martinique and Guadaloupe, of the conduct of the negroes, is not very encouraging, though the condition of affairs would seem to have improved, since the arrival of the commissioners from France. according to the official accounts received ; but what will tecome of these isiands under the pre- | sent state of the political condition of the country, remains to be determined. It is suid, that the blacks have returned in large numbers to work again ; but this may be not so far true as the authors expect. 1 have much doubt upon the subject, and fear that there will be a great deal of blood spilt in these islands. ° Garnier Pages has notified the Assembly that he | approves of the principle adopted by the Assembly, of requiring a strict account of the manner in which the secret service fund has been expended, aud that ina few days, the old Executive and Provisional Govern- ment will be in a condition to render an account for all the moneys by them expended,which annuaciation the Assembly received with strong marks of satisfac- tion Neither Acago, Lamartine, nor Ledru Rollin, appear to bave taken any part in the Assembly since their ejection from office” Louin Blanc is skippi about, but keeps silent ; and when hie ten hours ‘wm was about to be debated be left the Chamber, and returned again when he found it was to be adjourned. How fallen are the mighty! But sixty days since, Louis Philippe and Guizot were, and the next day they were not; and so it ia with the leaders who ejected them from power. Marie, President of the Assembly, and Bethmont, minister of justice, only, have any resent power, Among the fourteen members of the Frovicional Government, one of their number is in prison ; some doubt is yet hanging over the heads of some others; and the rest, two excepted, are cyphers in the events of the present hour.

The union of Venice to Piedmont is now put beyond a doubt; and, therefore, the kingdom of Charles Albert is now composed of the ancient provinces of the Lombardo-Venitian, Piedmont, with Savoy and Surdinia, the whole of the Duch- ies of Parma, Plaisance, Guastalla, and Modena, less Leiniquiance, which appears to appertain to Tuscany. When the King shall have delivered the provinces now occupied by the Austrians, and incor- porated into his kingdom the Italian provinces of the frontier—those, for instance, of Tyrol, Istria, and Dal. matia—he will find himeeif master of half the Italian territory, containing nearly two-thirds of the popula. tion, and capable of raising an army of three or four hundred thousand men, Seldom hasa man had more to stimulate him to action, and to withstand the seduc- tions which foreign governments have held out to him, Charles Albert is a Bourbon, and in that one word his character is explained, Hi- interest will now lead him to fight, for the foreign princes can offer him nothing equal to his prospects at home, if he is victorious, ‘The Pope bas lately held a secret cousistory at Rome, in which a great number of Bishops have been electu and in which he has confined himself to treating onl, upon spiritual matters, touching his relations witl Parma; aa is said, while the Congress at Berne are dis- cussing the project of his ministers for raising an army of 24.000 men.

OBSERVER. The French Kevolution, and the Character of the Leaders of the Government Troops. [From the London Herald, June 25.) _ As we had hoped, anticipated, and predicted, the insurrection, commencing on the 23d June, and carned on with a bravery, an obstinacy, and a skill worthy of a better cause, has been wholly and en- tirely suppressed by the bravery and devotion of the army and the National Guard, and the pre- eminent skill and vigor of thet young soldier, who, though a man of Sire and family, is a repu- blican of an old date, and one, too, who has sul- fered, both in his person and in his profession, for his sincere adhetion to his opinions—we need scareely say we allude to General Lows Egene Cavaignac, son of the viscount of that named, and brother of the famous Godefroi Cavaignac, the former president of the Societe des Droits de UVHomme. Followed by that army of which he is the idol and the pride—for he shared their dangers and won every grade on the field of battle—the ex- Minister of War, and the absohute Dictator of three days, showed himself not merely an able and accomplished, but a determined and a. vigo- rous soldier; and to his masterly combinations— still more to the vigour and energy with which they were brought to bear on the mad and mis- ided insurgents—it 1s, under Heaven, owing that Paris is not now given up to the pillage and the plunder of ferocious communists and bonnets rowges of the Blanqui and the Barbes school. Never at any period of their history, either in domestic insurrection or foreign war, had the regular French army to undergo such horrors asin thismost recent and moet deplorable outbreak ot the 23d June. In foreign war, sieges and bat- tles are conducted by operations precise, regular, and the result of military science and combination. On such occasions, too, the combatants are sus- tained and comiorted by the ennobling recollections of country and of independence. They fight for their hearths or their homes, to defend their soil, or their institutions, or their independence, against unjust invasion and tyrannous aggression, But in civil struggles and contests, these patriotic incite- ments are always wanting. Citizen is armed against citizen, and children of a common coun- try, speaking a common language— inhabitants of the same capital, protected by the same laws, and living under the same government—are under such sad circumstances brought into hostile collision. Party and political, and factious rancour, are oa such occasions superadded to the usual horrors of war, and this is the reason why of all contests civil commotions are the most horrible, sanguimary, and internecine. Our own civil wars were not uL- marked by cruelties rarely exercised against a fo- Teign enemy; and the civil wars of France, numerous and oft-recurring, have been stained by atrocities which seemed to have attained their acme—such atrocities could not be well surpassed—during the progress of the revolution of 1789. In later times, as il to prove the theory we propound, the civil war in Spain has been marked by a bloodthirsti- ness and a relat Ooh unusual amidst that wholly sanguinary and half-savage people. But, after reading the events of the last few days, it must be admitted the horrors of English, of former French, and even of Spanish civil wars, have been exceed- | ed and transcended by the French civil war and sanguinary slaughter of June, 1848. To the rash bravery of the Gaul was added Iberian ferocity, and that dogged and desperate determination— that unyielding tenacity and stern steady power of resistance, which have hitherto peculiarly distin- aished the sons of Britain. No wonder, then. that the French regular army severely stflered and was sorely tried; tor neither in foreign battles nor in foreign sieges had it ever been Ey vet to so many unhappy and adverse chances. [a battle you choose your position in which you can form freely, protecting as far as possible both front and iiaiks but in the narrow streets of Paris the re; assailed from before and behind, from windows and portes cocheres, from behind barricades, from the tops of houses, and under the cover of walls. Every deleterious substance and every deadly mis- sile was hurled against the regular forces. Boil- ing oil and boiling turpentine, implements uh- known in regular warfare, were had recourse to; and mutilations the most horrible were the lot of those who had the misfortune te be captured or to be taken prisoners. Women and children aided and encouraged the rebels; and when itis stated that the abeatlants were French and Parisian, it is needless to say that bravery, that intelligence, that strategetical skill were always and at every baricade manifested. Every Frenchman 1s at heart, and by nature and disposition, a soldier, and none eo much as your native Parisian, who ts more es- pecially “unto the manner born.” Add to this, that in every quarter of Paris there are hundreds of old ‘moustaches who have served with the Em- peror and the grande armée—together with many returned trom the amy of Africa, who have leara- ed war in one of the latest, if not one of the best ot schools. The advice and co-operation of such men are never wenung against authority ; but even without their aid we hesitate not to aver that there is more military intelligence and knowledge im any knot of French conspirators and rebels in the Faubourg St. Antoine than could be found in five umes their number of any other nation on the face of the earth, This is one among the many Teasons not merely why the positions taken up were so well defended, but also why the whole ap- pears the result of strategy and combination of no mean order. We would notbe understood as say- ing that able military heads have not been engaged in this rebellion. There can scarcely be a doubt of the fact But even without such heads and leadera, the most unlettered Parisian, capable of nothing or of little else, is capable of conceiving any plan of attack or of defence, nowever com- plex or however intricate, That the rebels wanted neither arms, ammunition, nor, ma certain de- gree, money, is also apparent; and all the: cumstances greatly increased the difficultie regular army and of the public force. To suppose that the money distributed amongst the msurgents was foreign money would, we thiak, be not meraly rash but ridiculous, Prussia. Austr BO cordon t and the Italian powers are in equonds: gic; Ungl 1 ad or Bel # a, or, at least, select it ina | lar troops were | there remains but Russia who has the means or perhaps the desire, thus to waste her resources in ‘ostering civil war, But the complicity of foreign- ers is only vaguely, however violently asserted. and one would need something more precise and truth-worthy th-- 4 assertion of M. Flocon, jowever sole” livered, to be convinced of the fact why, ‘positively alleges, ‘That do- mestic factiv= ay have squandered gold abroad is probable and ible he adherents of Heary V.—of Louis Nuapoleon—of the Prince de Join- ville, or of other pretenders or would-be presi- dents of the republic, may have been busy, and doubtless had their emissaries at work ; but we also think it probable that the money and the countenance of certain. socialists,” com- munists, and ultra rpublicans, were not wanting, and that these skulkers favored the rebellion with everything but their corporal presence and bodily support, Many emissaries were seen to approach the barricades betore the firingcommenced, to encourage the populace, and to give them money and drink, but at the approach of dangersuch agents vanished, and not one of those despicable and detestable villains is supposed to have fallen. On the other hand many brave soldiers und estimable citizens have lost theirlives in doing their duty to their country. Among the foremost of these was Denis d’Affre, Archbishop of Paris, a man of zeal, of deep reli- gious convictions, and of piety, in the fashion in which he understood it, He had, in compliment to his perhaps over fervent zeal, been raised to the See of Paris, at the request of the ex-Queen of the | French, and though his views were narrow aad | bigoted, and exclusively Roman Catholic, or, as certain parties here would say, purely Papistical, yet hissudden and unbidden death in erforming a greatact of charity and conciliation, must cause his memory to be ever revered in this his last and crowning act as a great, and, because a gre brave practical Christian, When affairs assumed a desperate character, he offered his aid to Gene- ral Cavaignac as mediator—an aid which was gladly accepted.

Such was the ascendancy, and yet the gen- | tleness of his character, that he caused by his ad- mimstration the submission of more than one hundred Arab tribes, and raised «ve revenue ina year and a-half, from 250,000/. to 1,500,000/. He is gone unbidden and hastily, to his last account, but he leaves behind him that | line of young African soldiers, beginning with Cavaignac, an ending with Duvivier, Bedeau, Barquay, d’Hil- liers, Lamoriciere, Combes, Corbin, and Sevigny. Duvivier, the man among them all’ who has seen most service, the distinguished scholar of the Polytechnic and of the School of Artillery of Metz—who made the campaign of 1314 as a sous- | lieutenant—and_ afterwards organised the army of the Bey of Tumis, and served both at Mar- | tinique and in a most distinguished manner in Africa, where he commanded in the, province of Tillery, is also wounded—as well as his friend and companion in arms, Bedeau. The severest and the most arduous post in this rebellion was con- | fided to Duvivier, and it there be a man who, next to Cavaignac, deserves well of the friends of order, itis Duvivier. In raising either Cavaignac, Du- vivier, Bedeau, Baraquay, d’Hilliers, or Bachelu, to the port of President of the Republic, the Na- tional Assembly can commit no error, One of our contemporaries, who is profoundly ignorant of the character of Cavaignac, and of the | state of opinion in France, has announced, in a | leader of yesterday, that Cavaignac -has called Thiers to his counsels. A greater libel on this distinguished general never was written. Not | merely has Cavaignac announced, as we notified | yesterday, and fully expected, that he is now functus | officio, but he has proclaimed it in a manner 80 sumply and so mudestly as to be worthy of Washington, Such a man and such a soldier is not likely to oppress himself, under any circumstances, with the cumbersome company of M.

From the London Times, July 15.] Nothing but the Meal and attractions of our revo- lutions at home could havo so completely diverted ublic attention from « certain revolution in the New yorld. which is even more extraordinary thaa would be an irruption of Asiatic Highlanders upon the scenes of their old exploits—the plains of Europe. Projecting Westerly from tbat ourious connecting link between two continents whiob is termed Central America, lies the peninsula of Yucatan, the Westernmost point of which stretches out almost far enongh to meot the Easternmost point of Cuba. Little of it. even in the best of maps, will be found laid down, except the coast, and one or two inland towns towards the north. The interior appears. and probably is, altogether uninhabi- ted according to the sense whioh civilization affixes to the term. Our readers will probably remember that | the discovery of these parts was long subsequent to | that of the American isiands, not being achieved, in | fact. till several years atter tho death of Columbus.— By the year 1542, howevor, the Spaniards had ostablish- ed themselves in the country, and the city of Merida was founded at that period, as the memorial cf the struggle thus victoriously terminated Up to the re- yolutions in the Spanich-Amurican settlements; Yuca- tan remained ao captain-generalcy of itself, distinct from the governments both of Mexico and Gautema! After the independence of Mexico had been effected, that of Yucatan followed with the stream, no partiou- | lur efforts being made to retain this province when the | rest were seen to be irrecoverably lost. It would not be very easy to define the political character or rela- tions of the country between that time and the pro- rent. It bas been attached to Mexico. as one of its fe- | deral States; it has been occupied as a subject province, again detached, then connected with Texus, subse- quently declared an independent “Republic,” and at this moment perhaps is becoming something not un- like what it was found in the 16th century. | . Herein lies the interest of the revolution in ques- tion, Our readers will easily believe that we should not have bespoken their attention so partioularly if | our topics bad been confined to those political con- vulsious and transformations which seem inseparable from the essence of any Spanish American State. But in the prevent case there is a great deal more behind. ‘The party at this minute uppermost in Yucatan is no | political or military faction, but a revived ho-t of thos forefathers were ma: We may perh ors’ recollection of an ar | which we published at the beginning of the year, con- taining some striking information of the hardihood | with which the Northern Indians of California descend | | periodically on the provinces of Mexioo; but there is @ | very important difference between these forays and the insurrection to which we are now alluding. The inroads upon Mexican territory are mere exemplifica- | tions of Indian cupidity, encouraged and euhanced by | Mexican cowardice. The red men of the North ap- ar in very small bands, seldom exceeding 500 fight- ng men, and, after plur dering and scaring all things and persons within their reach, they depart to | their hunting grounds without’ any demonstra- tion whatever towards retaining a foot of their conquests, Tho frontier been desolated, it is true, but the nominal boundarics remain as they were before, nor have any Indians attempted to form @ settlement on the site of sacked villages or abandoned towns, But in Yucatan they are delibe- rately re-conquering their inheritance. The Spat race, throughout the whole of these territories, has, in point of numerical increase, long remained stationary, and, indeed, bas lately retrograded, while the race red men bas beon steadily gaining ground, The con- sequence has been, that here. for the very first time, we believe. in the history of civilization, the inferior aboriginal race bas survived the conquest, and after ro many generations, ia at length tound again making head against its anciont and degenerated enemy, Whether they remained in greater numbers or in purer bicod 1m this Cornwall of the West we cannot precise- ly say, but they have certainly set to work in most so- rious +arpest, and they disolosed their systomatic poli- cy and determined views very clearly some time back, by seleoting ene of their chiefs with a genuine Axteo ttle, and crowning bim, after some victory, on one of thore anclent teocallés whigh bad witueesed the glories of their Snosstry. The struggle bas beon going on for rome time, and hitherto each successive dexpateh has brovght information unfavorable \o the white men. The latest accounts were of a most alarming character, ‘The war was conducted by the Indians on tho princi- ple of extermination, and no white man falling in their hands was spared. Their bands were daily in- creating in strength aod audacity, were ably lod, and were, at that moment, within twenty miles of tho city of Merida, against whioh theit next attack would be directed, ‘The interior of the country seemed wholly presume on our re in their hands. and the white population was oxged wp } in the towns of the coast, whieh the Indiaus werg paring to storm, It was even conceived that taoy night venture to attack the contiguous British posses sions, and a detachment of troops embarked {oom Jaq maick on the 20h of May. for the protection, of our in- wrestin the Bey of Hooduras If the cont nding pertios were left to ‘Auom wit Would entirely ¢ he Grey, and that avert fo thy red ma use the words of Sir Philip Sydney, he had “a | | convoked to mature these great reforms, j watched with execrsive solicitude. preserve order and tranquility. and ) gium could have no object or wish to do #0; and America Nay, we fully bolieve that in the absence of any foreign intervention, tho Indians of Yucatan would sperdity the plateau of Anabuac, and enter again upon the porsession of the Halls of Monteauma, It ia rumored already that the North country Indians are only awaiting the withdrawal of the American army to oom. mence an invasion of Mexico, more formidable than they bave ever attempted before ; and 80 helpless are the descendants of Cortes against any such aggression that in the recent treaty of peace. as originally penned, it was expresrly stipulated that the Americans should undertake the protection of the frontiers.

The Hungarian Diet was opened at Peath, on the Sth of July, by the Arohduke Stephen, Palatine of Hun- gory, under circumstances of peculiar interest, not only to the internal uffairs of that kingdom, but to the power of the House of Austria, and to the whole con- dition of the East of Europe. Already before the com- mencement of the pericd of goneral revolution which has since convulsed the Continent, the Hungarian Diet. in its last ression, had very formally and peromp- torily asserted its rights ; and the fall of Prince Met- ternich was instantly followed by the enthusiastic adoption of those measures which’ his administration had steadily opposed. The authority of Vienna being Interes: then totally paralysed, @ national government was | formed at Pesth, firmly resolved to uphold the allo- giunce of the nation to the reigning King of Hungary or his family, but equally resolved to restore all the ancient and indisputable constitutional rights of the realm. This ministry was composed of men of very different shades of opinion, from the courtly and aris tocratic mugnates. Prince Esterhazy and Count Batbyanyi, to the active Count Skechenyi, and the popular Deak and Kossuth ; but these’ men | had ‘the great merit of laying’ aside their per- | sonal and party differences to promote the com- | mon cause of their country. No sooner had the popular movement which’ swept away the ox- | isting government occurred in Vienna than the liberal party in Hungary was carried onwards with the swiftness of a revolution. The property of the ohurch and the nobles was at once curtailed of those feudal rights of tythe und labor which pressed most heavily upon the people, and, with or without indemnity. the most ponderous social institutions of the country were rummarily abolished. Yet amidst this sceno of inno- vation and confurion the new ministers retained their position in the government, and used their power with success; and the tupreme legislative, a8 wotl as exood- tive authority. having been delegated by the King- Emperor to the Archduke Palatine, the Diet is now Astrong at- fempt will doubtless be made to carry ‘on the revolu- ion Anextreme liberal party, stimulated by clubs and factious journals, which is’ prepared to demand the abolition’ of the Chamber of Magnates, the total subversion of the Hungarian constitution, and even to proclaim republican principles, exists; but it may be hoped that the patriotism and vigor of the govern- ment willeffectually resist these encroachments, and rule with a strong hand the vehemence and agitatioa of the people, for, assuredly, it is by the experience aud intelligence of the men who have now assumed the direction of affairs that Hungary can alono escape the horrors of agrarian anarchy and the danger of foreign subjugation, Meanwhile teverai events of great importamce have occurred amonget the provinces of the Lower Danube. The Diet of Transylvania met, we believe, for a single day and a single vote, which served to decree its vinion with the kingdom of Hungary, and the sponta- | neous and unanimous abolition of its independent Tights. This act increases the strength of the Mag- Zar by. a million ‘and a half of their countrymen. ut whilst this sympathy of race established a closer connection betweeu Transylvanian and Hungary, the antipathy which exieta between the Magyars and the Sciavonians threatened to detach from tho latter kin dom several of the Southern provinces hitherto con- nected with it. The Solavonian party, which ts all powerful in Croatia and along the Turkish frontier, | even to Servia has loudly protested against the policy | of the Magyars A Croatian Diet was illegally con- | yoked in Agram. and in fact civil war has broken out between the government in Pesth and the provinces, which recognize the authority of the Ban of Croatia, JeNachich. The Sclavonian insurgents have already defeated two detachments of regular troops near Peter- dien, and some regiments in the Austrian service have retused to march against them. As these pro- vinces include the military frontiers of the empire. the whole population is organized in regiments and accus- tomed to arms, so that their resources for such a con- test are remarkably great, and they have been taught to look with confidence to the support of Russia as the head of their religion and their race, The Hunga- rians on the other hand, contend with some reason that the possession of these provinces is indispensable to their national existence, because they command not only the Lower Danube, but the sole line of com- munication from the plains of Hungary to the Adria- tic andthe port of Fiume. They are, theretore, re- eolved to put down thisinsurrection by force of arms, unless the mediation of the Archduke John should 8 it some compromise of the difficulty. The speech delivered by the Palatine from the throne, aliudes pointedly to this alarming staco of affairs as the motive for opening the Diet, and it implies that the decision taken on this subject will materially affect the opera- tions of the armyin Italy Itis understood to be the intention of the Hungarian government to endeavor to raise the effective forces of the kingdom to 200,000 men But while these events are going on within the pro- vinces and dependencies of the Austrian and Hun- ar isn Crowns, the movements of the Russian army, on e Pruth, and in the Turkish principalities, have been It now seems to be ascertained that a Russian cerps d'armée of 25,000 men actually did enter Moldavia, on the 25th of June, and bas reached Jassy. for the alleged purposé of restoring | order in that and the neighboring principality ; and at thir crisiy such a movement will produce the greatest excitement. not only in Hungary, but evenin Germs- ny. It will be regarded whether rightly or not,as the first open step of the Cabinet of St. Petersburg towards the patronage or protectorate of the Sclavonian provinces on the Danube ; and as those territories command the | lower portions and the mouth of that magnificent river which flows through the whole of Southern Germany, | and connects the vast internal navigation of Hungary | with the Black Sea, the question is one of vital impor- | tence to all that constitutes the German Empire in common with the Hungarians It is beyond all doubt tl the exertions of the Russian clergy and of Russian | omisearies have been actively employed for many years to maintain a strong Resin perty in the European roviners which have been gradually wrested from the ‘urkish Empire ; and the time may be arrived when ® more ostenrible display of the power of Russia can be ventured upon to counteract the establishment of a powerful Government of Hungary, or the formation of an independent Sclavonian kingdom. We are inclined to believe, however, that if General Duhamel has en- tered Moldavia. he will not, for the present, go beyond that position. and that on the Danube, as well as in other parts of Europe. the policy of Russia will be guided by the course of events rather than conceived scheme of aggression. It oi be forgotten, that these provinces b: often bee: cupied by her armies, and always abandoned with re- gret. and it is greatly to be desired that the restoration of order and of peace by the authority of the Hunga- rian Government. or by rearonable concessions to the Sclavonian Pp ation of the south, may remove every pretext for foreign intervention any pre- not, however, Mn Macrrapy.—We find the following notioes of Mr. Macready’s farewell appearance at Drury Lane Theatre on the tenth of July, in the London Chronicle 11th :— ieee Of & theatre, so long the resort of wild benats, | maskers and mummory of ‘all sorts and nations, was last night tortainments being “ comman od by hor Majesty” for the farewell benefit of Mr, Macready. “ previous to hi deparvare for Ainerion.”” Rather tantalia ng this for the samisers of vy) alent, to be called upeh to witness one blage of the “ star” which has #0 long hold aloof from (here adw ring gare; and then to see it vanishing from our hemisphere aoross the brond Adantic.
