Passports Refused Lamartine—Who 1s Responsi- ble?— Condition of Paris and France. It is said that Lamartine has asked for his pass- ports, to leave the country, and that they have been refused. How much of truth there may be am this rumor, 1s not yet precisely known, It is said that the government want him to aid inac+ counting for the expenditure of the public funds from February 24th to June 2ith. I should think that government would also want some information, from ‘both the Executive andthe Mayor of Paris, as to the manner in which an insurrection was allcwed to pro- gtese, and strengthen, until it became so frightful, and #0 well prepared. With a wall and a barrier round Paris, | with every gate guarded,by night and by day; every ‘petson who entered, examined, and a passport re- ‘quired; every carriage arrested, and the most minute inspection made; a police armed with power to visit every house and place of business; and guards duly organized to watch over the security of the city; and daily evidence of an stranger could foresee r these circumstances; one would nmMurally suppose that those in power had a good deal to.answer for, for leaving things to take their course, ‘and allowing the storm to overtake them without any <kind of preparation, but to desert the ship upon the first attack. The public are looking with great inte- rest for the report of the committee charged with in- quiring into the causes of the insurrections of May yhand June 23u; and if that report be a faithful ‘one, as there is reason to believe it will be, the publie will then better understand whom to hold responsible for :uch a calamity as has followed those two events. | France needs examples in high places, more than in low—the masses are the mero instruments and ma- | chines used. The great crime lies among men in high- er places, who assume power, and squander the public funds, and stand rendy to desert the government. upon the first indication of danger, if they aro not en- gaged actually in overthrowing it, or in attempts to t effect, I apply these remarks to no partioular man, but there must necessarily be many to whom the;'apply; and I believe the public will insist upon éxample being made of those who are responsible for :uch terrible events. The Minister of the Interior has ordered all the foreign legions in France to be dis- solved; and the Minister of Justice, all persons | to Le rigidly prosecuted and imprisoned, who have not complied with the lew. General Cavaignac in- tends to maintain the state of siege in Paris, until peace and order are firmly established, and the govern- | ment isin @ condition to mect evory contingency which may arire At present allis in & process of in- igation and inquiry; the prisoners are but par tially examined yet. and the dead hardly buried, and thousands, ‘perhaps, aro yet to be arrested, and these probably the most important, as being in the highest places, The men in arms’ were | easily to be seen, but not those behind the scens, | whe ‘arranged them, and sent them out to battle. Yesterday, a professor in one of the colleges in the 12: arrondissement was arrested, said to be deeply involved. Indeed, as yet, it can hardly be known whether the court itself is pure which is to try the ac- cused; for, no longer than last week, one of the re- ters, who is here the first man in the board of the ibunal for trying the offences, was pointed out by the insurgents as the man who had given them orders toeigege in the insurrection. Society here needs, andis undergoing a thorough purification. Goneral Cayaignac has a herculean task before him; but he is sufrounded by his old generals and companions in arms. who bave with him, seen much hard service; and aided by M. Senard, and others, they are making ‘thorough work, and, in my opinion, the guilty will find it Gifficult to crcupe them, or to deter them from doing their duty. Every day public confidence is increasing with wonderful rapidity; indeed, the upward tendency isalmost teo rapid. But society now feels as if it had an.cfiicient head, and had escaped being swallowed up ina volcano. OBSERVER, Panis, July 10, 1848. Condition of the Prisons and the Forts—A Re- port—The Conduct of the Press—Ledrw Rollin. Capt. Durand, of the 4th squadron of the National Guard, and M. Lefeore, have been delegated to inepect the prisons in a certain part of the city, and some part of their report are worth translating for the purpose of giving an insight into these homes of the accused. Their reports are only im- perfect ; but each one can draw his own impres- sion from them. The prisons which they in- spected were in the forts. It appeared that the first of the forts contained 1,504 prisoners; of this num- ber 760 were known nominally, the others had been ar- rested under circumstances which prevented them from being known, as most of them were taken in arms, and during the combat. The fort is command- @d by a captain of the line, who performs civil and mi- Mitary duties, and who had confined the prisoners un- der the quarry upon which the fort of Ivry stands, and whigh received the air through two wells, or air holes only; but by virtue of an order of the health committee, the prisoners had been transferred into the fort. Fort Montrouge contains prisoners who had been twice interrogated ; but they were a little docile. The regime is the same as at Fort Vanves, which is the beet conducted. The suburbs about the forts are fill- ed with insurgents and badly disposed people, who, during the day, conceal themselves in the wheat, and who maltreated the soldiers the day of their visit, ‘and in the evening fired on them, the balls passing by their ears. They recommend to explore that quarter. At the Fort of the East, there are 760 prison- ers not interrogated; and among these were a large number of lads from twelve to fourteen years, whom they had directed to be transferred to a seperate for- tification, and treated with some care. After having Visited many other forts, these gentlemen visited the Fort Vanves,where the regulations were excellent, and which regulations they recommend to be adopted in the other forts. In this fort there are twelve case- mates, or cells, containing a hundred prisoners each— five hundred of these only had yet been intei i; but the prisoners here have better provisions than in the other forts ; they have a peund of bread a day, and soup and vegetables, and only six were sick. Upon these reports it has been decided to send the courts ofinterrogatory to these forts, to complete the work thero, rather than attompt to transfer these prisoners to Paris for examination. From this short sketch an impression can be obtained of the condition of ten to twelve thousand prisoners, and the labor of examining them in reference to such a caseas the insurrection presente. And yet, in view of these facts, and of the experience of the past, the Reforme, Le Peuple Consi tuent, and Le Representant du Peuple, are as vio- lent as any press before the insurrection, or nearly so, I do not see why it may not he necessary,in case of further danger, to suppress them also, ‘A revolution atirs up society from the very bottom, and it requires 9 steady and a forcible hand to hold the wicked and the ambitious in check until a new organization can be made. Ledru Rollin, since his ejection from’office, has silent inthe Assembly ; but ifthe Reforme speaks his sentiments, they indicate that the author of them is Teady for some interference, and highly displeased with the present rigid discipline. Let no one suppose, I repent, that a French republic is to be established and maintained during the first year of its exertions with- out terrible struggles, and more or less blood shed. But with firm men at the head, every : uch contest will give Rew strength and increased force to it; the people will Tally round its standard, discover its weak points and imycrfections, and remedy them, and the public ‘tors will become daily to have less and less influence over the public mind. Th isional Government purued & system to save Franoe from troubles until « Arsembly should ; but they laid the founda- tion for » struggle when it beoame necessary to apply the hand of restraint, But the struggie was more des- peeste; the power of government was greater to con- rol it after than before the ‘ing of the National Assembly Whoever supposes that a republic oan be established upon the ruins of a monarchy in France, or soy other populous European country, without plocdshed, understands but little of its condition, OBSERVER.

But the | unpopularity of these two gentlemen, in Vienna,would prevent them from long enjoying the fruits of such a victory, in the present state of the public mind. In Hungary, alro. the Diet will soon open their ses- sion; and the Archduke Etienne has received full | powers from the Emperor to exercise. in his place, all | the nghts which the constitution confers upon him— even the right to sanction the projects of the law. The Archduke John, then, reigns at Vienna, and the Arch- duke Etienne at Hungary. The Austrian government has recognised Queen Isabella of Spain. France, then, and Austria, are friendly with the ruling power in Spain; but England has never been well pleased with her young Majesty. ‘Two young ladies can’t agree. What a pity!

This resolution, if passed.will confirm the powers claimed by the Frank- fort Assembly, to a great extent, although it will ex- press disapprobation of their proceedings, in one re- spect. It is very important, in both points of view, and opens up to the public view a new chapter in the political hittory of Prussia, and indicates the political condition of the public mind. The Prussian Assembly have also decreed, that any member who accepts any salary or place under the government, thereby vacates his seat as a representa- tive, and the Assembly shall proceed to order a new election. Step by step, the European people are pro- gressing towards the extermination of corrupting in- fluences from the government. and the acquisition of political rights. How interesting to watch their strug- | gles and their progress! At this moment, most of the leading minds in Europe, liberated, are turaing their attention to our country and government, as a beacon | of light held up to the old worid, to lead her out of | darkness and misery.

The Envoys | bave decided to inform Charles of Bavaria, that cir- cumstances do not warrant his withdrawal of all his troops from the Grand Duchy of Bade; and that he has full power to make such changes as he may deem necessary. At the sume time, a note has been addressed to the Federal Directory of Swit- zerland, sent by our Envoy Plenipotentiary, and a similar one,to the government of Bade. Through the Envoy of Oldenburg, the committee have introduced a resolution into the Diet of Envoys, as follows: “That under the existing actual ciroum- stances, all the federal States, shere the measure has not been adopted already. shall give notice of their ef- fective military forces, according to the per contage of their population, that the same may be doubled in the course of six weeks,” which motion, and the writ- ten report accompanying it, have been ordered to be Tinted. This does not mean France—for Germany as no fear of France—it means Russia, there can be no doubt—as a precautionary measure. It may also have some reference to the increasing republican forces, in the different German States, and the en- creased boldness of their demonstrations—for althoagh all the German movements are liberal, making vast strides in civil liberty, yet monarchist forms are pre- served by the ruling powers; and there is, therefore, an increasing pariy. who are for overthrowing all monarchicai forms, as well as spirit ; and adopting the form of government existing in the United States of America ; but this party is yet in the minority ; although it will Suelly, swallow =P the other ; and not & vestige of monare! left in the German States—but representatives must learn to read and write, before they will be well prepared to draft a re- publican constitution.

Great numbers of them brought their ammunition, clothing, and a large supply of provisions with them—and among tho re markable events, too, was the bold and heroic manner in which all these men, thus hurried from home, rushed into the midst of the fight, on the moment of their ar- rival at Paris, Many of them had large numbers of their company to return dead or wounded, to their friends.

As he was standing upon the barricades, a ball struck the upper part of his foot, carrying away piece of his boot, upon which the General remarked, “Je suis pigué,’’ and paid no more attention to it for some time ; and until his military operations were closed, Ho then remained at the Hotel de Ville for a few days, without giving the proper attention to it; on going to his house, he king up tho five flights of stairs to his apartments; inflammation set in, the foot was laid open, and the pain became #0 horrible that he-told the surgeon that he could not long bear it; that the wound was altogether the less paioful part of his system; the pain was in his head, his chest, and every part of him; be was in torments; and although temporarily relieved, soon fell into a fever; then into » delirium, in which state he died from exhaustion.

Ireland's wrongs are too grievous to be aggravated by exped tions which can have little prospect of success. The vigilance of all the coun- tries in Europe now is exceedingly great; people can not come and go as they please, asin our country.

The people of the Umted States, who have had so much faith inthe English professions about the slave trade, may think it alittle extraordinary that any one should dare to speak of the English slave trade; but im addition to the concealed and dis- guised traffic which they have been carrying on | continually, they are preparing, under the lead of the English government, to throw off appearances, and to enter largely into the business, Their sugar plan- | tations want slaves to work them; and they are pre- paring to seize them in Africa, and transport them when they are wanted. ‘The first public movement to- either tho one or the other there would seem to be no doubt, if the statements were not in direct collision.

Ithas been said, that the Gov- ernment had determined to apply for authority to the Assembly to arrest him; but it has not been done. In judging, therefore, of the acts of the Government, oue must consider how much blood has just flowed in | Paris ; that the avowed object of the insurgents, dis- played upon their floga, was pillage and rape, und the erthrow of so ciety; that through the influence of foreign gold, and this class of the press, the convicts and public women were placed in the front rank, and that every political consideration, of a tempozary character, at least, must yield before such a promise wards this end, was the speech and motion of Lord John Russell,in Parliament, to which I have called public attention. This has been followed up by speech- os frem other members; a vote of the House, in fayor of the measure; and now is published the testimony of an English commission, and the arguments of the Commissioners, to prove that the English naval fleet, which they made so much parade about placing upon the African coast, have really increased both the nuc- ber ef slaves exported, and the hardships and suffer- ings of their conditions during the voyage. Chey have examined thirteen Englishmen and one Amori- can, according to their account, all of whom they cay, are moxt reliable witnesses, to prove that untold horrors have been added to the former sufferings of the negroes. in consequence of the presence of their fleet, upon the coast—that no good, and a vast amount of | evil has been done by the presence of the fleet; aud | that the trade in slaves has in fact increased, and | cannot be suppressed! It is England who first | proves these facts and doctrines, and then attempts to impose upon the world. See the Kzaminer of this week, and you will there read a catalogue of crime that makes the heart chill. 60,000 Africans have been transported alive, and 40,000 died on their passage. Read the account of their treatment, disclosed by | these Commissioners, Do the officers of the American navy corroborate this account? and if so, why have the facts not before been made public? Is it true that | the navy of the civilized world is not capable of doing | more thun to increase the horrors of a passage, dimi nution of food, drink. and room? that piracy can exist, and defy the’ world? and that men can persist in rowingrich by the commission of such crimes and Prutalities? Andis England to Induce the eivilived | world to succumb to such a horrible system of piracy ? | Cannot pirates be caught upon the African, as well as upon the Spanish coasts? Is there any more diffcul- ty intaking them in one portion of the ocean than in any other, or any such insuperable diffloulty, as to yield the idea of making further attempts to suppress the practice? And because England wants slaves ia her itlands, she is ready to give up all attempts to | suppress a system, the horrors of which are not suita- ble to be placed upon paper, to be read by @ civilized community, I call attention to the article in the London Examiner of the last week, upon this subject. ‘The United States and England have a treaty upon this subject, which has cost the United States the lives many fine officers and good enilors, and the govern- ment alarge sum of money; and if it has only had the | effect to increase the horrors of the slave trade, with- | out diministing the amount oft, it is an interesting fact for the pubiic and their representatives; and it is a singular fact, that England bas found this out, and proceeded to take testimony upon the subject, just at the moment when ehe proclaims in Parliament that these negroes are necessary for the cultivation of her sugar plantations. OBSERVER, | i] Paris,July 12, 1848. Venice is United to Piedmont—Position of Charles Albert--King of Prussia—Incidents—Uncertain- | ties. Venice has finally, formally united herself to | Piedmont, and Charles Albert 1s now in a con- | dition to contest the matter with Austria, without having his time occupied with political intrigues. He has lost the golden moment for forcing Aus- | tria from Italy, probably from metives wholly selfish; and from which condition he will find it may cost him more blood and money to recover, than | all he has heretofore gained in driving Venice into his kingdom—for if the union be not cordial, it will not be of long duration ; and insuperable diffioulties will rise up in the path of its execution. From somo reason he has 80 conducted as to lose the confidence which the foreign public reposed in him ; and it is to be hoped, for the rake of the Italian people, that he will not, in the end, prove either incompetent, or traitorous. But I think that at this moment Austria is gaining strength under the auspices of the new arrangements, which bave taken place in the Empire, and at Frankfort; and under.the inspiration of her recent successes in the Venetian country; she is preparing to push her advantages in Italy to the extent of her resources, The issue, therefore, which was decided Peschiera, is to be fought over again, under circum- stances vastly more favorable to Austria, This ad vantage appears to have been conceded to the Aus- trians wholly through the fault or treacber, Charles Albert. He helo forces to have prevented them. and to bave pushed his own successes, and was advised so to do by his able minister of war; but he has done nothing, except attempt a negotiation ; while his adverrary has been winning position after position, The republican troubles at Berlin are increasing ; d the King has manifested a desire to leave Berlin und retreat towards the confines of Russia ; but to this his advisers and the people will not consent—they do not like such # proximity to Nicholas ef Russia, Four byt tow hte Were yesterday appointed to try military offe ) consisting of one President and two aerociates, and they are to be put into operation forth- with, while the civil tribunals pass upon those who do not belong to the military.

The Latest News. The English commander despatched three ships of the line from the Levant to the Black Sea, | upon hearing that Russia had sent her troops into Moldavia. Whether this 13 for the purpose of protecting the Turks, or for being in a condition to divide the spoils, remains to be developed. The liberal prees in Europe has become very se- vere upon Charles Albert, for his recent conduct. He has lost the confidence of liberal Europe ; and if be now wins, it will only be regarded as the battie of the Italian people against tyrants, bat that the man at their head is nearly as selfish as the one to whom they were opposed. He has coolly stood by and allowod five important cities and forts to fall into the hands of the Austrians for the purpose of driving the Veno- tians into his kingdom, when he had ander his com- mand the Italian forces from all the Italian States, and was as much bound to provide for the security of one State as another. He appears to me to have for- feited his henor; but circumstances hereafter to bo before the world. Fora man who began so weil, it is lamentable that he should have done anything to ‘all appearances very justly General Cangarnier bas reprimanded one bat- talion of infantry, and broke one colonel and tive captains, and dissolved their companies, for dering to tho insurgents. He told them, that fers ehould know how to die for their country, but net to surrender under such circumstances. Tho troops of the line, Guard Mobile, &e. ou daty, and to be instantly employed, amount to about 80,000 in Paris, and! think they ‘are needed. Evidently, there is = mars yet of combustible material, that needs to be hatched ; and that there will be every species of at- tempt to destroy the principal members of the gov- ernment, the members of the Assembly, &¢., there is no doubt. Even night before last, General Cavaignac defend bimself and to attack the enemy, his forces | cawe upon the insurgents at about one o'clock at night, and arrested them and their preparations. But in several places are found thrown among the work men—50 francs for the head of « Guard Mobile, 40 for soldiers of the line, 30 for a National Guard, and 20 for a Guardian de Paris. Who pays these funds? Under such cireumstances, we shail have to be under ® severe regime for months to come, and take care not to be out much in the evenings. hese nightly assas- sinations are the most horribie, though not very fre- quent ; but they endanger every person’s life, more or less, a8 they expose him to be mistaken and to acci- dent, Guards must defend themselves ; and only « few evenings since, one of the late Secretaries of the Chamber was shot very badly, on the Place de is Con- corde, by @ guard, rough mistake. Let those who call General Cavaignac a dictator, understand the cir- cumstances and the necessities, and no honest man will apply that language to him: He gives every fa- cility, and grants every liberty, that is consistent with the fecurity of society from pillage and violence. But when overthrown dynasties, foreign agents, and the diraffected at home, monarchists and anarchists, aro employing assassins, convicts, and maniacs, to overthrow woclety, severity is a mercy ; and the good will gladly submit to its rules, for the sake of the secu rity it affords. Under the present government, there is no danger for France from either anarchy or tyranny, and that fe the identical difficulty with those who complain, The mail closes to-day, and you will not hear from me again for about a week ; but let the American people rest assured that a power now exists which will control France, and hold the wicked with » tight rein; that if there are struggles, the govern- ment will triumph and punish, and that the resolution of the Executive is as inexhaustible as the funds em- ployed in this work of wickedness.

The ugual exhibitions of discontent upon ‘such vexatious termioations of matches, were visible in all directions, and curses, “loud and deep,” were lavished on the owner of Deception.

Gen. Case won in two straight hoats, mith the greatest ease. Furst Heat.—The horses were mounted by two oole- brated riders, Bartine on Cass, and A.

After the discharge, the ruffian, perceiving that he had not effected his parpose o! disabling Mr. Hyde, took to his heels and made off in the direction of the city, At the time of the discharge, Mr. Hyde was sitting with his arm across his breast, supporting his chin.
