The socialists will willingly forgive General Cavaignac for the numbers ot them which he has slain behind the barricades, add bis punishment of the living, as well as his denunciations of thei" doctrines in the name of the government and the Assembly, for the bold and direct manner in which he demolished Thiers yesterday, in the Assembly, Ina former letter | have given the facts and the de- bate itself, and will now add that this is the first dev monstration of an attack from that quarter upon | General C. M. Thiers wanted to go into the cabinet of the general, but wisely, in the present state of the public sentiment, General C: judged it to be inex- pedient; and since that timo. there have been several attempts to force Thiers’ friends into the cabinet: | But General Cavaignac has declined to identify his | administration with that of Louis Philippe’s, s0 | far as these appointments would have a tendency to do, He has avoided both extremes, and ap- | jointed able and powerful men to his ministry. | Whiers has formed club, which Is very strong in | number and talents; and he has been gaining very fast in power and influence in the Assembly, His | per, the Constitutionnel, threatened ‘the administra- | Tee decade A ceitisted’ th refining $2 wake come such appointments as they demanded—said if the present ministry was selceted from considerations of the peculiar fitness of individuals, which they were not | disposed to deny, they would not feel injured ; but that their friends could not be longer treated with neglect with impunity. Thiers’ is the first assault— | fatal, indeed, for the assailant. Such matters affect | men here very differently from our people, All such | cases are looked upon as morta! encounters—a duel, where one of the parties full | Jules Favre, following the developement of the two proreouting officers in the case of Lewis Blanc, killed Minister of Justice and the old Executive #0 that one resigned the next day, and the others | were driven out by a unanimous vote a few days after. In one encounter, he thrust them through and through. M. Thiers is a great man—a great tactician—has been | thus far very useful_gonerally his positions have been | excellent, and he has done the country great service. | For afew weeks he held no office, and therefore is not | in a position to be drawn into resignation; but yet, General C.,in his defence against an attack so wanton, so unparliamentary, so wanting in respect to the.go- vernment, and the other committee, has dealt tim | mortal blows—for the present, at least. The practice has required the government to prepare the projects | of the laws, and to submit them to the Assembly, | who refer them to a committee, before whom the go- | yernment and all other persons are heard, and then | the committee makes its report. When Thiers, there- | fore, denounced the project of a law submitted to an- | other committee, he committed a great indignity upon | the government,the Assembly, and the other committee, | besides being charged with agreeing to strike out the ob- | jectionable matter, by a member of his own committee, before he made his report. I now consider the French republic more firmly seat- | ed in power. and capable of making more resistance, than any government in Europe—that of England and | Russia not excepted. The republic has passed the | crisis which both of those governments have sooner or | later to go through. The continent is in favor of re- | ublics. France has explored the channel which has ied her to agafe harbor. Her government at this mo- ment'is infinitely stronger than at any moment since the inauguration of Louis Philippe. It has conquered both monarchy and anarchy—is now based upon the will of the people—the laws triumphant—the regime severe—-the order perfect throughout the country— and powerful men are at the head of the administra- tion. ana confidence restored. OBSERVER. Panis, July 27, 1848. Attack of Thiers wpon the Government—Its Conse- quences, §c. Yesterday was a day of thrilling interest in the chamber of the National Assembly, produced by the report of M. Thiers upon the proposition of M. Proudhon, to seize one-third of the means of all men in France, to be divided equally between the State and the poor. This report was received with unlimited approbation, and. was terribly severe upon the proposition ; and had M. Thiers limit ed himself to the subject legitimately before the Com- mittee, of which he was the organ, his triumph would have been complete; but he stepped aside, to attack a measure of the government, submitted to another committee for their consideration, and which had, at that time, the subject under their consideration. A member of the committee of which M. ‘Thiers was the organ, rose to this point, and stated, that in commit- tee he pointed out the impropriety to M. Thiers, and that he agreed to strike out the whole matter. This ‘Thiers denied, and said he only agreed to change one word. This produccd assertion and denial reiterated, which was proceeding, when Gen. Cavaignac rose and said, * That the Ascembly would comprehend, that it is with hesitation, and not without regret, that he toek any part in the incident; but as President of the Council, he thought he ought to say something | upon the passage of the report, which expressed an | opinion contrary to a law, the consideration of which was not before the Committee of Finances. It is pos- sible that I have not yet sufficient experience of par- liamentary proprieties; but it appears tome to bein- | convenient, that a committee should give an opinion, | in advance, upon the project of alaw submitted to | another committee, for their examination; and, in my position, it appears to me to be my duty to protest | inst this species of reprobation, with which @ pro- | ject of the government has been struck, with out ‘any discussion. I agree end give adhesion tothe report of M. Thiers upon the subject matter submitted | to hi te him, and reprobation of certain doctrines ; | but I t that, when he was upon so good ground, © he should have thought it necessary to attack, in the sam esevere reprobation, a project of the government: | M. Tuters replied, that he thought it was the right | ‘of the committee to express an opinion, and that in | doing so, they bad not been contrary to proprieties. | e Presipent said, that he was free from saying that the Hon. M. Thiers had been wanting in prieties. On the contrary, he spoke of his inexpe- rience. It belonged rather to the President than to | ‘the poet togive lessons; but he yet thought it to be | his duty to point out the unpopularity of a report upon the project of 2 government submitted to | another communion, who had no part in this report.— | This would be to provoke a discussion upon a question which had not been sufficiently considered ; but for | ‘his report generally, he thanked M. Thiers, in the | name of the govern! it and the country entire : but | he had pitied be a duty to point out what appeared | to him to irregular. The approbation | of the Assembly was most decided. | and the agitation ro great, that the President of the | ‘Assembly adjourned the session for the excitement to abate. Thiers will be as severely punished for this sideway attack upon Gen. C., as was Lamartine for | his sideway attacks upon Louis Napoleon. Jealousy and envy lies at the bottom of both. This is the first | check which Thiers has bi ged in his progressto — power, in the Assembly. He mistook the strength of | the President in debate, as well as in the field, where | he was as signally overthrown as were the insurgents | behind the feericades, Both were wrong, and noone | knew it better than M. Thiers. The Assembly were f pon him, by their expressions. terribly severe upon him, by pressions. Panis, July 27, 1848. The Money Market. | ‘The general tendency of the market was to a fall for some days after my last report. This was, | in some measure, produced by the unfavorable | position of our financial affairs, and by the fear that a large amount of stock would be thrown on the market by the conversion of the treasury pons, and the delivery of stock to the dépositors of the savings’ banks. The necessity of a new loan was universally felt | to place our financial situation on anything like a solid bass; and the various projects for this pur- | pose that under the ministry of M. Duclere could | only have been and were received with distrust and incredulity, and which, under the direction of any Jens experienced person than the present minister of id have been admitted with considerable Sate wees, ‘on its being understood at the Bourse tt M. Goudchaux intended to propose a loan, again Ceepehieee of conversation. So many difficulties la; * Gn the wey of the adoption of any one of them, that i | was generally supposed that he would altogether aban- don the ‘of his predecessor; and, accordingly, the reports that he was about to repare a new loan and | adopt an entirely different syirens of finance, were re- | -ceived at the Bourse with much favor, and the univer- sal feeling of the market was, that, proposed on sound | principles, a loan could easily beeffected, ‘These reports were prevalent on Saturday; but it was little expected that M. Goudchaux had matured his plans, and was about, on that very day, to apply to the Assembly to authorize a loan. In all his operations since he has been in office, he has adopted an admira- dle plan to prevent jobbing : he keeps his intentions profoundly secret until he goes to the Assembly, and then demands the immediate passage of his measures, This was precisely the course he took on Saturday. He went down to the Assembly and demanded a loan of 262,000,000, to be negotiated in the 5 per cents, but at a rate'to be fixed on a future day; thus shutting out all epeculation at the Bourse; and he proposed to con- tinve the taxes on salt and potable liquors, whieh had peon remitted by the provisional government; and thus propored to provide for equalizing the {income and expenditure to 1849, and providing for the present ne- cessilics Of the state, ‘This proposition was very favo- rably received at the Bourse; but still, the se + 00 80 the rate of negotiating Uae loam, was kept, and {6 was | islonal central power, nd roging | tions of joy, with whic! | Austria, as a substitute of not until after the Bourse of Monday, that M Gou chavx declared that he proposed to fix it at A decree to this effect was publishedin the Moniteur of Tuesday. by which the treaty for the loan of 250,000,000, which was contracted before the revolution of Februa- ry.on which, on the happening of that event, the subscribers did not continue to make payment of the investments, was declared void; but an inducement was in this decree held out to the subseribers ofthe for- mer lapee loan to take the loan now proposed, by allow- ing them to pay up part oftheir subscriptions to the new loan, in the event of their subscribing to it, in the cer- tifieates or receipts for their payments actually made on the former loan, and which amount to 10 per cent., thus affording them an advantage to that amount on taking the new loan, This has brought the mar- ket these certificates or receipts, which have since been selling at prices commencing with 1500 francs, since being done at 6500 and yesterday quoted, at the clos- ing. at 4200, These certificates will not, however, be received in part payment after the 12th August. The Moniteur of Tuesday contained a notice, that all subseribers to the new loan, who should be desirous of | paying up the whole of their instalments at once, | should be at liberty so to do, and should at once re- ceive the stocks subscribed for. This has occasioned & considerable fall in all seourities { since from the large amount of unemployed capital, it is supposed large amounts of stock will be paid for in fall, and to fome considerable extent brought on the market.— Fives fell yestgeday, 2.50. leaving off at 73; and Three's 1.75, closing at 4525. One cause assigned for this fall, was, that sales of stock had been made to a large ‘amount, by parties desirous of subseribing to the new loan, and thus providing themselves with funds, The Bank of France has subscribed for twenty-five millions, being the same amount it took in the old loan. Bank of France shares are at 1620 francs.

Srurreart, July 24, 1848. The New Government of Germany. Our new “ Reichsverweser,” (he executive of the provisional government,) Archduke John, of Austria, has at length, after a vast deal of trouble, and by the aid of the indefatigable president of the National Parliament, von Gagern, succeeded in drumming up a sort of a cabinet for the future go- vernment of the glorious German empire—glori- ous, indeed, if we are to take the word of the Reichsverweser or his ministers for it. And oh, how glorious! I (your humble correspondent) am a Ger- man by birth, and I take pride in acknowledging that I belong to the nation that once produced a Hermann, the Cherusker who beat back the invading Romans from the German soil, after they had conquered all the world ; that produced a Goethe, a Sehiller—glowing patriots and apostles of liberty—who trembled not to preclaim the rights of man to the tyrants on the | throne; but my pride is fast being humbled, in re- viewing the events of the last few months. Just emerged from a universal revolution, whose offspring the parliament is, this body creates for the government of the “glorious” and “ unanimous” German empire, an executive officer, entirely independent and irre- sponsible, not only of the “ sovereign’? people, bit alo of the “sovereign” National Assembly, thus giving us “sovereignty” with a vengeance ; more, indeed, than the people bargained for. We are now much better off than before the outbreak of the troubles i1 March, (one can hardly call them a revolution now ;) then we bad but one sovereign master, the bundestag, of ppy memory ; but out cf its ashes have arisen two, equaily sovereign, thus eclipsing the fabled pho-nix, whose remains can but produce one new bird at best. How these two sovereign machines will work together the future must show ; one thing, however, is certain, viz., we are to be blessed with quite an original set of cabinet ministers, Archduke John seemed to have been in a great quandary, when appointing his minis- ters. Camphauren, the ex-minister of Prussia, was his first choice, and he nominated him as president of the cabinet. ‘This Camphausen, whose inability, (I had nearly said imvecility.) whose wavering state of mind and want of energy had compelled him to resign his at in the Prussian cabinet; this man, who was re- | jected for his want of talents and decisive action in emergencies by the inferior State, was to become the leading member of the cabinet of the glorious empire ! Fortunately. however, (but | suppose very detrimen- tally to the “ glory’? of the government,) the appointed minister ‘vas either too timid to accept ‘the office, or too conscientious in regard to the interests of the people, to force himself into their service ; he declined the prof- fervd honor—a new cause of trouble to the illustriou Archduke. He mustered the whole list of public names that occurred to him—Beckerath, Mathy, Duckwitz, Hergenbahn, Wydenbrugk—none of these would do; weighty objections to each and all of them, rendered them unavailable. At last, after President yon Gagern put his shoulder to the wheel, the laboriag mountain rought forth the beautiful (not a mouse, but some- thing very similar) triumvirate—Schmerling, Heck- scherand, Pewker. Schmerling is an Austrian, and was little known, even by his countrymen (you Americans are, perhaps, not aware that we have thirty-two or thirty-four dif: ferent nationalities, and each one calls only the citi- zens of his own State, though it contain but 60,000 in- habitants, his countrymen), until he was appointed President of the old Bundestag. The astonishment of the people will not be small, when they are told that this Schmerling was appointed Minister of the Inte- rior and Foreign Affairs, and that he declared, when his appointment was made known to him, after gen- teelly'pulling out a nice white pocket kerchief, and de- yoriting therein, with some audible ceremony, some- hing which must be nearly related to his brain, that he would sacrifice himself wholly for the full and per- fect herty; that self-denial, and sacrifice in the strug- gle for liberty, have always been his aim, and would ever be his sole object. Liberty, full liberty. Order, perfect order. Only by means of liberty and order, the German nation may be made happy. | Well, this is certainly true. It only depends upon what he con- siders liberty and order. Over the guard-houses and police prisons of Louis Philippe the device “ Liberté, Ordre Publique,” was painted in great letters. Proba- bly Mr. Schmerling will favor the German people with like “liberty,” and with similar “ public order.” The second member of the cabinet is Hekscher, from Hamburg, He was a member of the celebrated “ Com- mittee of Fitty,” and belonged to the extreme right; but in the National Parliament, being embittered. b: the memorial of Lepel, in the Bundestag, he, at first, took sides with the left, until the vote upon the pro- and the base and unmanly means he made use of to defeat the measures of the opposition in the Parliament, showed him in his trae colors again. The Deutsche Reichszeitung contains the following humorous sketch of this gentleman:— “ Hecksher is in favor of the untramelled sovereignty of the people, but—he will not act without the sanc- tion pf the princes; he wishes unanimity in the Na- tional Parliament, 'but—he does all in his power to createjdissension and defeat a conciliation in regard tothe yote upon the central power, and his amend- mehts were calculated to diffuse feelings of the se- verest animosity; he wishes to vindicate the honor and glory of the German Beslan, bot Be disputes the right of the Germans to Schleswig, and its union with Holstein is not sanctioned by him; he is a German, but—he is also @ citisen of Hamburg. Heckscher is a | republican in principle, but—he is in favor of consti- tutional monarchy; he wishes the central power to emanate solely from the National Parliament, but—he demands that the princes nominate the Reichsverwe- ger. In short, Heckscher has all sorts of principles, but—he always carries out the contraties of them,” It excited general astonishment when the President | of the Parliament appointed this man. who had thrown 8 fire-brand into the peaceful Assembly at Frankfort, by his violent and ur measured attack upon the rights of the minoriry, and by a refusal to yield to the ma- jority himself, to the committee that was to apprise hi Highness the Archduke John of his election tothe office of Reichsverweser. But this astonishment was greatly increased when it was known that he was ap- pointed cabinet minister, probably to repay the ser- vices rendered the State in giving a glowing account of the many dishes and plates, the meats and wines, the white-clad virgins and smiling matrons, the firing of cannon: of bells, and other nfanifesta- the committee was greeted on their way to Vienna, This was, indeed, thought sur- prising; but our age seems to be the age of impossibili- Fes. Blinister Hockecher will probably give us an ad- ministration of justice in principle, but—the old po- | lice system in reality. Mr. Pewker, the third minister, is, as yet, very little known, and, consequently, little is said of him. These are allthe ministers that his Highness the Archduke Reichsverwoser could drum up; the balance of the cabinet will be completed on his retura from Vienna, where his Highness’s presence was necessary, to open the Austrian Reichstag, being, de fae the Emperor of ‘tis imperial Highness (I believe it is necessary to ray Majesty) Emperor Fran- cis, who is not quite well just now. It remains to be | seen how far these gentlemen will carry out the princi- ples of the revolution; a fair specimen of their future conduct, however, is the circumstance that in Stutt- gart, Heidelberg, and numerous other places, the de- mocratic clubs, formed under the solemnly warranted © right of meeting’’ and right of free discussion, im- | mediately after the revolution, have been dissolved by | royal edicts, without meeting with any aid or protec- | tidn from the cabinet ministers, ‘This violent, anti- democratic, not to say anti republican (the idea of « | republic growing out of the late disturbances, has | come to be quite ridiculous) measure, ts thus sanction- ed by the Rejcheverweser and his cabinet, who were | appointed by the © sovereign” NationaljParliament, to guerd and protect the newly-gained “ rights,’ the ua- disputed “sovereignty,” of the people!

And the “sovereign” representatives of this free people seem to be quite aware of the fact, and exult in the success of their labors. One thingfonly seems to be forgotten | by the National Parliament and the Reichsverweser, with his cabinet. as well as by the ruling princes and dynasties, viz: the small circumstance that a string may be tightened so long that it will break. The letbargy and drowsiness of the German people, prover- bial as it is, may be disturbed, and, when it is again wakened into action, the resuit may be more terrific, and their anger less easy to appease, than was the cuse on former occasions. wes Our Italian Correspondence, Munan, July 20, 1848. The War in Italy. Although we have as yet had no decided en, gagement with the Austrians, some small affairs have cceurred, in which the Sardinian army has had its usual brilliant success. One in particular deserves to be mentioned. If you look into any good map, you will see that the River Mincio» flowing out of the Lago di Garda, passes due south to Mantua, a little below which it falls into the Po, near a village called Governolo, where it 1s crossed by a draw-bridse. The Mincio and the Po here form a tongue of land, and, a little above the con. fluence the Po is crossed by a bridge, at a place called Borgo Porte. A few days ago, a division of Austrians marched on Ferrara, and, for’a moment, rather un- ceremoniously occupied the town. Charles Albert being informed of this, despatched§General Bava with his division, who crossed the Po to Intercept the Aus- trians ; but on learning that they had taken flight from Férrara—which they did on the mere announce- ment of his approach—the General recrossed the Po at Borgo Porte, A sortie had been, meanwhile, made by the Aus- trians from Mantua, on the roads leading to the Po, which they were encouraged to do by the absence of General Bava, who, on recrossing the Po, unexpected! encountered them. A conflict took place on the le bank of the Po, in the tongue of land formed by the confluence of the Po and the Mincio. The Austrians were driven in precipitate flight from Borgo Porte to Governolo, An attempt to defend the draw-bridge was made by the Austrians, The bridge and the vil- lage were, however, soon carried by the Piedmontese, and the Austrians were sent flying in confusion to Mantua. After this, the division of General Bava re- sumed its position round Mantua, and that place be- came completely invested. ‘The following are the details of the affair, communi- cated ina letter from head quarters at Marmirolo :— “ Heapquanrens or Maratinono, 7 “July 19, 1848, 5 “I wrote my last under the impression just pro- duced by the excursion of the Austrians beyond the Po, and fear I led you to believe this event was more important than it really is, I hasten to in- form you that, once more, the army of the king, as it always has been since the commencement of hostilities, has gained the day; and that the arms of Savoy have acquired more lustre than ever in the last combat. However, I will relate the manner in which the things took place. “ Having been informed from several quarters, that a column of the enemy, from 6000 to 70U0 strong, had passed the Po, and was making the people they met on the road believe they were going to take possession of the former ducby of Modena; the king, after having taken every necessary measure for the operation be- tween Verona and Mantua not to be interrupted, or- dered Lieutenant General Bava to follow immediately | the traces of the enemy, to impede his march, and to im to an engagement. “ As soon as the Austrians heard of our movement, and knew we were marching to meet them, they | thought it high time to make a hasty retreat, and by | passing through bye-roads, they succeeded in reach- ing their fortresses; but were compelled to abandon 4 great part of their baggage on the way. ~ General Bava, who; despite the great activity of his march, had merely falien in with some stragglers on | this road, whom he immediately took prisoners, aud who had ‘heard that the enemy had left Ferrara, and that all the positions beyond the Po were occupied for the time, likewise crdered his men to return to their | former quarters. When he reached the heights of | Governolo, he was apprised that the enemy had just | taken up their position therein. Fully convinced that this position was of the highest importance for us, as it would enable us to complete the investment of Man- tua, he resolved upon carrying it Early in the morn- ing’of the 18th instant, his corps, composed of the bri- gade of the queen's infantry, of a regiment of cavalry, ofa company of sharp-shooters, and of two batteries, | most vigorously attacked the énemy, to the ery of = nn astical governors. and presidents of the superior tribu- vals, requesting them to make known, at as early a period as possible, the most urgent necessities of their ive churches, The g ronment trusts that the bishops and prelates will endeavor to inculcate, , and propagate among the faithful, a spirit of peace and reconeiliation—the natural attribute of their evangelical mission ; and by so doing, they may con- tribute to the consolidation of tranquillity, and will cement the harmony between church and state. The government, on its side, will take into considerat! the establishment of seminaries for the instruction cf the clergy. The bulletins of Vittoria are favorable to the cause of ¢ titutional order. One of the factions of Na- varre has been routed by the Brigadier Equilau, in the mountains of Ancin, ‘The faction of Navarre is now considered as being entirely dispersed and lost. The Mcntimolinist bands have suffered such losses on different points, as to be forced to return to France. A company of the 27th line, and a part of the National Guard of the Aldudes, are on the look out on the ps dy to receive the fugitives on frontier ; but the mayor of the Aldudes, not con- sidering these forces to be sufficient, sent a courier to St. Jean-Pied-de-Port, to demand a fresh supply of troops ; and in fact a company of grenadiers has just arrived Officers of all. ranks are daily returning to France, who complain that they have been completely de ceived relative to the spirit of the inhabitants of Ca- talonia. ‘They expected to finda population ready to riseen masse; and they have met. on all sides, with the most perfect indifference for a cause which is already considered as lost.

Vinwna, July 22, 1848. Speech of the Arch Duke. The Austrian Diet was opened with the great- | est pomp to-day, and the Archduke John, now the | guardian of the empire, delivered the following speech :— : Charged by His Majesty, our constitutional Emperor, agreeable duty, and salute you all from my heart—you gentlemen, who are called upon to finish the work of the revival of the country. The consolidation of the | liberty we have conquered, and§our future well-being, require your frank and independent co-cperation for the establichment of the constitution. All the na- | tionalities of the Austrian monarchy are equally near the heart of His Majesty, and all interests find a solid | basis in the freefratennization of the nationalities in equality of the rights of all, andin the close union of | Germany. The heart of His Majesty bas been deeply | afflicted, by secing that the plenitude of all the advan- | tages which liberal institutions, wisely administered, ordinarily insure, cannot beat once granted, His Ma- | jesty partakes with a lively sympathy in all the suf- ferings of his people, As coucerns Hun.ary and the tted to expect, from | the generosity and spirit of justice of the people, » pa- | cific and satisfactory settlement of the questions which rempin to be solved. ‘The war in Ituly is not directed against the liberties of the people of that country—its reul object is to maintain the honor of the Austrian | arms in presence of the Italian powers, recognizing thelr nationality, and to support the most important | interests of the State.

It is the pro- | | vince of the representatives of the people to deliberate upon the general intcrats. in which are vested the surest guranty for the developement of the intellec- | tual and material interests of Austria. Therefore, gentlemen, His Majesty charges me to salute you in “Long hye the king!” “Italian ind pendence for- | !° ‘The combat was most obstinate; great displayed on both sides; but at last the position of Governolo was carried by our | troops, and the Austrians were completely rowted,— The fire of our artillery and sharpshooters told serious- ly on them; the charges of our cavalry were most for- tunate ; we have taken 400 prisoners, among whom are a major and several officers; in short, two colors and four cannons were taken from them by the bayo- net. We lost but two officers, and but very few sol- diers, The preliminary preparations for the siege of Mantua are continued with great activity, and as soon ag some defensive works are completed, which are about being finished under the cannon of the place and the personal inspection of the king, this fortress is to be surrounded by our troops. It is then our of- fensive operations can be pursued, and not till then ; but be convinced we shall push them on with the great- est vigor. “The forts still stand the'r ground at Venice,and by able sorties, theVenetians have, till now, succeeded in keeeing the enemy at a great distance, and in cat ing them to suffer great loss whenever they have at- tacked us. The defences of the town, commanded by the brave General Pep, are most formidable, and it is well garrisoned, especially since the arrival of the troops we have just sent thither. “In ene word, our army is animated with the beet spirit ; it has carried the day in all the combats | it has bad to encounter up to the present time ; it is | more than ever convinced that Austria has forever loat her old possessions in Italy. Then be convinced, | in your turn, that there is not to be found in Italy a | class of citizens blind enough to imagine that liberty can be grounded upon any other basis than that of Italian independence and nationality, from Mount Cenis to Isonzo.”” Nartes, July 17, 1848. Some serious events have occurred here since the date of my last. Immediately on the arrival here of the news of the electron of the Duke of Genoa to the crown of Sicily, the king, in a trans- port of rage, resolved upon collecting all his available forces, for the invasion of that island. 30,000 troops have been recalled from Calabria, where the insurrec- tion has, for the present, been quelled ; about 8,000 troops can be spared from here, and there are about in 5,000 locked up in the citadel of Messina, This total , is intended to make an immediate effective of 38,000, descent on Sicily, and to land, it is said, at Syracuse. All the steam vessels of a kind in this harbor, are now actively preparing for the transport of the troops and munitions, and an embargo has been laid on all | the trading vessels, without exception, for the same purpose. 6 government appears to be in downright earnest in this affair. As the son of the gt of Sardinia is now King of Sicily, it is presumed that King Charles Albert will support him against Naples, ‘and in that event, it is not impossible that Naples would call in the aid of Austria, and thus the germ of a general war would be created.

At eight o'clock there might have been about 600 persons present ; but before the pri ceedings terminated the numbers were considerably | increased. The chair was taken by Mr. Walker, who introduced Mr. §. Macdonald, as the proposer of the | resolution which bad to be submitted to the meeting. repealers ot Edinburgh viewed with indignation the | conduct of government towards Ireland, which, in their opinion, was base, unprincipled, and cowardly— first, as to the repeated acts of injustice which the law | sustained; second. as endeavoring to provoke her into a premature rebellion; third, on account of the sus- pension of the /abeas corpus act there ; and that they considered the people of Ireland perfectiy justified in resisting, even unto the death, the wrongs which were empted to be inflicted on her. The speaker re- fect of organization, seeing that, without placard or any public announcement whatever, such a numer- ous meeting had been convened He then hinted, that it was time to be up and doing. and concluded by saying, that there were 190,000 fighting men in Ireland, and that it was quite impossible for govern- ment to put them down ifthey were united. Mr. Pe- ter Duncan succeeded, and, in seconding the resolu- tion, said that there had been many noble patriots, but none more so than the illustrious Irishman, John Mitchel. (Cheers.) The speaker then made a direct allusion to the late insurrection in Paris, which he characterised as a laborer’s war. The workmen there had been betrayed by priestcraft and foreign gold, and France would never be quiet till the rights of labor were granted. It was the same thing in Ireland, and the souner the battle began the better Monarchy was tumbling down in all all the kingdoms of Europe, and republicaniem advancing with such giant strides, ard with such irresistible strength, that it was impossible to arrest its progress The chartists of this country must give something more than sympathy to Ireland; they must evince their determination to do something. The resolution was then submitted to the meeting, and carried with acclamation. Mr. Rankine followed, and strongly recommended organization He said that a great many clubs existed in Edinburgh, and mentioned among others the Gerald Club, the Emmett Club, the Faugh-a-Ballagh (clear the way) Club, the Muir Club, the Baird and Hardie Club, the Wallace Club, and ‘Warhington Club, which already were in operation, ‘The pian to be pursued in them was in accordance with wkat ad been resolved in Londcn, to make the clubs consist of 100 men, divided into ten companies each with iteleader, and in that means they would be en- abled to meet together at an hour's notice. After an exhortation to order and quietness from the chairman, the meeting quietly separated.
