EE ——EaEV== —_ NO. 5379. SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 25, 1849. THE DETAILS Or THE BUROPHAN NOWS. ARRIVAL OF THE EUROPA AT THIS PORT. SPECIAL FOREIGN CORRESPO\DENCE or TRE MEBW YORE HERALD. Go., &e., Se. The steamship Europa, Capt. Lott, arrived at this port early yesterday morning. She reached her dock about nine o’clock. She has made a winter passage in less than tourteen days. Our ordinary mail despatches have reached us, from Liverpool to the 10th, London to the 9th, and Paris to the 8th inst., all inclusive. Our tele- graphic despatches are to the 10th from London and 9th from Paris. The details of the news, an epitome of which we received by express and telegraph on Thursday night, will be found to be of considerable in- terest. The packet ships Waterloo and Queen of the West arrived out after the extraordinary short run of fifleen days. The gold excitement in England was intense— the people were literally mad. The extraordinary fact is mentioned that the Earl of Derby, who had received from California some specimens of plants, and hearing of the soil containing particles of gold, caused an examination to be made of the earth remaining in the boxes in which the plants were brought, und, to his asto- nishment, found it contained a considerable quan- tity of gold. 4 ; ‘he French post office hasYdefinitely arranged tor the conveyance of the quick mail between London and Paris, va Dover and Boulogne. The European Times of the 10th, says :--‘‘The progress of the cholera continues much the fame. ‘Lhe total number of cases which, have occurred trom tne first appearance oi the disease, now amounts to 11,147, whereot 4,939 have died, 3,053 have recovered, and 3,155 are under treat. ment, or the result is not stated. The district of Losdon 18 now comparatively tree of the malady, only three new cases being reported last Wednes- day. In the provinces the number is equally in- considerable, seven only being announced. In Scotland, however, the daily returas have still varied between 150 to 200 daily, until the last re- turn, when they only reached 124, of which 57 had proved fatal; the recoveries, however, now appear to be in a@ greater increasing ratio. Indeed, we now hope that the worst is over, and that, with the daily improving weather, the malady will gradu- ally disappear. With the exception of Belfast, where the disorder is now on the decline, 10 part of Ireland has been visited with this frightful scourge te any extent, and itis, perhaps, not too sanguine to believe that the disease is altogether upon the wane on this ‘de of the Atlaatic.” Our Liverpool Correspondence.

The America made another splendid run home— she arrived at 5 o’clock on Sunday afternoon. She had iolerably fine weather home. The accounts she brought us of the gold mines and mania, cer- tainly amazed us. Goodness grant the gold find” ers may not find too much of it! Plentiful as itis, they cannot, | opine, get hold of any, without bur rowing. In England, every fellow that wants a sovereign, wishes himself in California. L hear that letters, almost without number, con- tinue to accumulate at Southampton for a passage by the Washington or Hermann. My letter itseli— to say nothing of the news (save the mark!) i contains, will be mouldy. | The Acadia and Britannia have been bought for the purpose of adding to the pomp and circum- stance of war, by a Mr. Hebeler, on account ot the German contederation; and I know, also, fora fact, that the eum paid for them bordered on, and was not under, £70,000. In the sale of these ships, the contractors of the Cunard line have Ugh lit on their feet—a most lucky hit for them. Suc! is the demand for steamers of their class, or larger, at the present time, that I have good, very good, reason to believe thatan early and profitable sale could be met with for the entire fleet of the same company (Cunard’s ) The temporary truce be- tween Denmark and the German confederation is nearly at an end—it will dissolve, I expect, with the 1ce—and, mark you, Denmark, too, must have two steamers. Oh, ere long we shall have to send you accounts of the currency of bloody noses and crecked crowns. France is most unsettled—Russia ready to pick a quarrel any where or any how. I fear that a few months will see “ The mailed Mars on hig altar sit, Up to the ears in blood,” On Thuisday night week, (atter the re-opening of Parliament,) the author ot ‘‘ Coningsby” gave the House of Commons a treat of a two hours’ speech. ‘Tis, raly,” observed an honerable member from the sister Isle, ‘* too long for a be- ginning!” ‘The harrangue was, however, well managed—soundly argumentative, and garnished, of course, with pointed satire and bold sarcasms, directed against the ministerial benches. D’Israeli 18 viewed by most persons as a rapidly rising states- man. He possesses, without doubt, all the requi- sites tor an orater of the first magnitude. The abandonment of the corn laws has had ef- fect. On Thursday week no less than 119,939 barrels ot flour and 45,000 quarters of wheat were released from bond. _ Trade improves almost daily. A great improvement has certainly taken place. During the last week, especially, it was quite cheering to see our streets here and there com- pletely blockaded with heavily laden wagons : this is something like ‘old times.’ The demand for machinery, however, has not yet recovered it- telf, it appears; for a certain well known foundry 2 this town has, at this present time, only 12 me- chanics and 5 laborers employed in it. ven or eight years ago, four hundred men were only the ordinary complement. One man, who has been in its employ for twenty-five years, 1s, with many others, now turned off. You will perceive, by my market report, what a very brisk business has been doing in our cotton market the last fortnight—the sales being 129,000 bales. This eounds well. The imports are just one half the sales. : But here’s a pretty kettle of fish! [Tere’s the devil to pay, and nopiteh hot! Why, we thought to have got our letters by the America, last Sunday, tree, gratis, for purning, under the impression that the Lew postal convention had commenced operation jn the United States. Butno such thing! We had to pay one shiilling (24 cents) as usual! Upon in- quiry of the post office functionaries m this town, ‘on the subject, we are told that they had orders to carry the thing out at once, (if, upon examination of the letters, it appeared it had really been commenced in the States;) but finding the marks upon the Jetters. unintelligible as al- gebra to them, and net finding any account as tohow many {etters had been pre-paid, as it 1s here called, and how they were to be distinguished from those that had not been paid, they settled the point by charging postage cn all, as usual. ‘They might as well have given the ene at the bar’”’ the benefit of the doubt, and delivered all the letters free. Then, too, we had, as utual, to pay twopence for our Heralds. However, if the Hiald 1s not worth tour cents, it’s worth nothing. Mr. Secretary Maberly, it seems, went the “whole hog” in this matter, and sent down a Mr. Bourne, one of the§presidenta of the General Post Office, London, I am told, to euperintend the arrival of the United States mail by the America, and to pass judgment thereon; but it seems that the hiero- glyphical marks of the Yankee post offices would not only bother a Philadelphia lawyer, put the President of the United States himself, ([ mean Old Zack,) much less a president of a post office. I hear that some of the letters were halked with B34 cents, others with 24 cents, (my own, for in- stance,) and most with none-cenis. I also hear that the same Mr. Bourne is going, by the Euro; on a mission to Washington to settfe the plan o! working out the new system. Although this delay is wroveking enough, yet it 18, you see, not unpre- eedented, and 1s berne with Christian patience. ‘Since the departure of the last steamer, the weather has been mild—no frost, and not much wind. Some tew days have been excessively warm—more like April or May tian bacon, & Yesterday was wet and boisterous, and last night we had a smart gale from the west. Srxxo. Our London Correspondenee.

On the Ist February, Parliament was opened by the Queen in person, with the usual fermalities. The houses presented a very brilliant appearance. Nearly all the representatives of the foreign pow- ers were present, the bishops, peers, and a fair bevy of peereeses. At a quarter past two the booming of guns announced the arrival of Queer Victoria. The Queen wasled to the throne by Prinee Albert, who took his seat on her left. The Duke of Welling- ton, bearing the sword of state, looked somewhat paler than utual, but seemed cheerful and in good spirits. The Marquis of Landsdowne bore the crown on a crimson velvet cushion. As the Queen entered, every one rose. Her Majesty, in her usual clear voice, then read the followiag speech : THE QUEEN'S sPrecn. My Loans anv Gentieman.— The period being arrived at which the business of Parliament is usually resumed, | have called you to- gether for the discharge of your important duties, It ip satisfactory to me to be abie to state that both in the North and in the Sout’ ef Europe the contend- ing parties have consented to » suspension of arms for the purpore of negotiating terms of peace.

THREATENING ASPECT OF PARIS—VIOLENT DEBATES ABORTIVE ATTEMPT AT A NEW REVOLUTION—IM- PEACHMENT OF THE MINISTRY, ETC. , France has fides been the centre point of attrac- tion, and is still m the paroxysms of a crisis. God knows when this unheppy country will be finall restored to peace and tranquillity. On the 291 of January, Paris was all but the scene of barri- cades and bloodshed ! Perhaps this February may still witness another revolution! But to the de- tails. On Friday, the 26th January, M. Léon Fau- ve brought forward a motion for suppressing the clubs. The government, said the minister, had ordered a number of the clubs to be closed, amd had denounced the offenders in the tribunals; but the insufficiency of the existing law was now manifest. Closed in one di- rection, they opened in another; and the audacity and cunning of their members made up for the deficiency in their numbers, Trade and manufactures were com- pletely paralyzed wherever this last echo of street an- arcby reeounded. It was impossible for a regularly constituted government to tolerate any longer the ex- pression of doctrines and passions calculated to dis- solve society. Jn the clubs, hatred and rebellion were preached under every form. They were the hotbeds of tecret societies, and both lent each other mutual sup- port. It was impossible that confidence could be re- stored whilst clubs were permitted toexist: They form- ed a State within the State; and no free govern- ment could allow such anomaly to subsist without ‘he right Ms meeting Med cont eita lestruction of sohools of lated. The decree proposed t! clubs are indicted,” and “all provisions of the law of the 28th July relative to clubs are abrogated.”” This caused great excitement, and most of the Paris journals published the following comparisen: “ART, VIII, OF THE CoNsTI- “CLAUSE 1. OF M. L, FaUs TUTION, CMER’S BILL, “The citizens have the ‘Clubs are prohibited. Tight of associating toge- Will be considered as such, ther, of assembling peace- everypublic meeting whieh onl and without arms, of shall be held periodically, petitioning, of manifesting or at irrogalar intervals, their ideas by the way of for the discussion of poli- the press or otherwise; the tical questions,” exerci: these rights has no other limits but the rights or the liberty of others, and the public se- curity,” Thus proving the contradiction between the bill of the Minister and the constitution. In the sitting of Saturday, the National Assem bly rejected, by a majority of 418 to 342, M. Leon Faucher’s preposition, that the law for the sup- ion of the clubs should be takem into con- ion durgence. , This was a severe blow to the ministry; but they were only staggered—for at this date (9th Beis) they still hold together. 3 _M. Ledru Rollin then presented a proposition, signed by eighty members, for the impeachment of the ministry for suppressing the right of the peo- ple to hold public meetings. During the whole of wi Paris wasin a state of great excitement. On the following Wednesday, M. Ledru Rollin’s proposition was rejected og majority ot 458 to 250; this was the result of the events of Monday, the 29th, which are as follows:— r Owing to Leon Faucher’s bill, the socialists, clubbists, and red republicans were on the move; but those smart lads, the Garde Mobile, are the pri- mary cause of the attempt at a new revolution, which the government turned to account to make an immenee display of force, and thus strike ter- ror into the hearts of the discentented. For some time past the Garde Mobile had been disaffected, on account of the ministerial proposal to reduce its numbers one half and its pay to the level of the line, It 1s stated that some members of the high mountain in the mre ee tomented the discontent of the youths, and endeavored to bring aboutan actual outbreak and resort to barrl- cades. Deputations to General Changarnier were frequent, but unsuccessful. Laet Sunday, a depu- tation, including Colonel Aladenize, waited on the General; Colonel Aladenize broke his sword, threw it at General Changarnier’steet, and charged him with treachery to the republic. The officers accompanying him held their tongues, and did not protest aguinst his sentiments or violence. Gene- ral Changarnier, having expostulated with Alade- nize in vain, ordered his arrest, and dismissed his companions with words of caution--It they at tempted any disturbance they would only insure their own destruction; ** You know me,” said the General; “ you may fully believe me when I de- clare solemnly to you, that they who unpave the streets will never repave them.” Another depu- tation went and demanded the release of Alade- nize; they were refused an interview on the sub- ject, and commanded to return to barracks. In doing this, they raised tumultuous cries. General Perrot turned out some cavalry, drove the refrac- tory gardes into their barracks, and arrested the mingleaders. 4 2 ‘he elements of discord were now fairly stirred up. Groups ef mobiles and ouvriers might be ob- served in all directions, and a rising in the night was anticipated, proving that any day a revolu- tion may be got up “at a moment’s notice.” Sun- day night passed over tranquilly, but every precau- tion was taken. On the Monday morning, Paris was a vast camp. 80,000 of the line—infaatry, cavalry, and artillery—bivonacked in the Champs Elysees, the Place de la Madeleine, before the Hotel de Ville, in the Place de la Bastille, and along the Boulevards. All the National Guards turned out to the rat @-plan, rat-a plan, of the rap- el, which once more resounded in every street. he avenues to the National Assembly were guarded by immense bodies of troops. Strict orders were given to fire cn every man that at- tempted to touch a paving stone. At two o’clock, the President of the Republic, in the uniform ot a General of the National Guard, and attended by his aides-de-camp and a party of lancers, visited the Boulevards and other places where the troops were stationed. [le was received everywhere with immense cheering, muirgled with cries of ‘ Vive le President !” “Vive UEmpereur !” 4 The whole of the morning the most contradic- tory rumors were afloat. A portion of the Garde Mobile stauoned in the bantieus having escaped from their barracks, and made their way into Paris, it was rumored that the whole of those stationed at Courbevoie and St. Denis, and espe- cially the 6th, of which M. Aladenize was com- mander, was in a state of revolt, and that they had contrived to get possession of the tort of Auber- villiers ; but this was afterward contradicted. During the night the government got notice that a plot was on foot, by which the Garde Mo- bile were to jom the Socialists, and march upon the Assembly. It appears that a deputation of the officers ot the Garde Mobile went, at two o’clock this morning, to the office of the Réforme news- paper, to express their wishes, and to ask the editor to be the means of communication between them and the Socialists. Fortunately, notice ot this step was immediately sent to General Chan- garnier, who at once gave the necessary orders, eae sent for all the troops in the villages round aris. The government, fearing that the insurrection might be a formidable one, took the precaution of sending Marshal Bugeaud to take the command of the Army of the Alps, with instructions to march upon Paris, in case of necessity. «Marshal Bugeaud left Paris that eT 8 ‘he number of persons who flocked towards the Chamber, says an eye-witness, was immense ; every street in the neighbourhood was thronged. In the Place de la Concorde it was not easy to pass, 60 great was the crowd. The Tuileries gardens were closed to the public, and occupied by a large body of troops. Large bodies of troops were also posted on the Place de la Concorde, near the bridge. As I was going tothe Chamber, about half-past one, an immense rush of the crowd, almost exclusively consisting ot men in blouses, teok place towards the Champs Elysees. 1 waite to ascertain what could be the cause ot the move- ment, and found that it was the President of the Republic, who was proceeding on horseback ac’oss the Place de Ja Concorde to the Boulevards. He was dressed in the uniform of a Colonel of the National Guard, with the bread red riband of the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour. Two aides- de-camp accompanied him, with two or three or- derlies, and about fitteen lancers. He was received with the loudest cries of ‘* Vive la Republique !” mingled with shouts of ‘A bas la Ministere !”” Thousands of persons accompanied him, and it was with great difficulty I could get out of the crowd. The thick mass Sheena went along to- wards the Boulevards, and | returned towards the Chamber. Round it, the military force consisted of cavalry, infantry, and eaten) : nothing, in fact, has been seen like it since the days of June. The circulation of the publie, however, was not im- peded. ‘Ihe steps leading up to the peristyle were completely covered with troops, and a great num- ber of officers were collected below, inside the railings, conversing or lounging about. Inside the Chamber, the public tribunes were crowded. Great agitation was perceptible amongst the representatives, a great number of whom were in their places long betore the sitting commenced. General Lebreton appeared 1n tull uaitorm. The sitting was remarkable; and amidst deep silence, M. O. Barrot, the President of the Council, ascended the tribune, and said :— Citizen Representatives: I consider it my duty to in- form you of certain arrangements which the E: tive power has deemed it necessary to take, esponelbility, to insure public order, the execution of u it first to say for what reason the ments bave been taken.

The 01 which we issued excited a certain agitation in some of the battalions of the Garde Mobile, or rather amongst some of the officers, who thought that they could pre- rerve a grade of @ merely temporary character, They felt hurt at the order which the government had is- sued, and from them the emotion eommunicated itself tothe privates. The government naturally could not overlook the fact of this emotion, and injconsequence of what had come to its knowledge, took measures to pre- vent all disorder. Im doing s0, it felt convinced that it could give umbrage only ‘o the eternal enemies of tranquillity and of the republic. (Loud interruption.) M.

It was also said that Caussidiere and Louis Blanc had returned is Parie, and were arrested. Both are stl in Lon- jon. . A_duel was fought the same morning between M.

The republic has no firmer #1 porters than they who seek te preserve it from t revolutionary excesses with which this form of gov: ment has been too h confounded. The President of the republic has sworn to respect it, and to cause it to be respected; and he will keep his oath. His minis- terr, in their past history, have left no man a right to suspect their future intentions; and they cannot give & stronger proof of their attachment to republican in- stitutions than the energy with which they are deter- mined to repress all disorder, however great may be its proportions. Inhabitants of Paris—It is not sufficient for society to be strong; it must show its streagth. Repore and seourity are to be had at this price alone. Let all good citizens second the government in the re- prersion of the disturbances which agitate the public places. It is the republic, it is society itself, it is the eternal basis of all power, that these perturbators bring into question. The triumph of order ought to be de- clsive and irrevocable. Let every man do his duty, and the government will not fail in doing what belongs to it. “LEON FAUCHER, Minister of the Interior.’ The following order of the day to the Garde Mobile was issued by General Changarnier:— © Officers, sub-officers, and volunteers of thi Mobile—If I were to e your caluminat would allow yourselves to be governed by pernicious and interested counsel.

Our readers, however, will see by our report of the pro- ceedings in the National Assembly, that it was caused by iniormation whieh had reached the government of anintention on the part of the enemies of order to take advantage of th ‘dination of a portion of the Garde Mobile, The muster of the ional Guards ‘was not very numerous until rather a late hour inthe afternoon, when, the object of the convocation having transpired, the necessity of the precaution being sppreciated, the number was considerably inoreased.

A well informed person at Paris, writes on Tuecday:— “The whole of the mighty conspiracy turns out, on inquiry, to rest on the fact of two or three officers of the Garde Mobile baving gone to the office of the Reforme newspaper, to offer their services for the fence of the National Assembly, in t! nt of ite ex- istence being threatened by the government The rumor so incustriously circulated as to the seisure of forts by the Garde Mobile, and as to several of the bat- talions being in a te of open insurrection, turn out tobe mere fabrications. ‘T’he limited number of the Garde Mobile who have shown disaffection is made clear by the fact, thac al! all the battalions were yesterday drawn up in the streets of Paris, along with the regular troops—ready, like them, to defend the cause of order, and showing no symptoms of that dis- affection and insubordination attributed to them Not a single battalion which was called on to turn out r fared to do ro, nor was it found necessary to arrest a single officer or soldier, with the exception of the three or four whe were arrested on Friday, and whose offence was, that they had made ure of rather iatemperate lan- guage to General Changarnier, when complaining that the government, in casting many of them loose on the werld, agit did by its late medsure, had shown a want of gratitude for their services in June. Besides this, it appears that there has not been the slightest roof given of the existence of the plot between the Mobiie aud the Socialists,” ; Public opinion now proclaims the whole affair to be a coup d’Etat mangué. They took the op- rtunity to make a grand display ef power.— There 18 some myetery about all this, and it 18 not at allimprobable that the government was aware of some underhand work. Late on the Monday evening, M. Forestier, Co- Jonel of the 6th legion of the National Guards of Paris, at the Maurie of the 6th arondissement, was arrested by a equadron of dragoons. The Mayor and M. Bonvallet, the Lieuteaant Colonel, were taken along with him at their own request. It ap- 1s that, an hour previously, Colonel Foresuer addressed to the Captains ot the companies of his legion, who were stationed in the Boulevards, animated speech, in which he requested their assistance to maintain order and sustain the re- public ; adding that the people and the National Guards were hercelorth united in the same senti- ments. Besides this, he wrote to the President of the National Assembly, that if the hall ot the As sembly were invaded, it ht meet at the Con- servatowe des Arts et Métrers, where the eixth le- gion would defend it. It was on account of this speech and letter that he was arrested. The commencement of the sitting of the Na- tional Assembly, on Tuesday, was exceedingly animated. M. Sarrans rose to put some questions to the government with respect to the events of the previous day. He demanded an explanation ot the want of consideration showa by the govern- ment towards the Assembly, in placing an im- menee body of troops, without notice, round its place of meeting, and in arresting Colonel Fores- tier, of the 6th i mn of the National Guards. M Sarrans declared that it was not Colone|:Forestier, but General Changarnier, who ought to have been arrested; and he terminated by moving that a committee should be appointed to inquire into, and report on, the events of the previous day, This motion created an immense tumult. M. Marrast, the President of the Assembly, repeated his for- mer explanations, and added others, to prove that the Knee privileges of the Assembly had not cked ipniest degree. M. Bac tol- lowed, and commented with severity on the pro- clamation issued by the Minister of the Interior, which he declared to be an attack on the minority of the Assembly. He then quoted an article from mixed the Courrier de la Gironde, in which an attack | was made on the Montagnards, and especially on M. Lagrange, who was spoken of with great im- | propriety. After a short reply from Odilon Barrot, who stated that the Courrter de la Gironde was | under a prosecution at the present moment for the AL article alluded to, and a cunversation, in which MM. Guinard, Leon Faucher, and Flocon took part, the Assembly passed to the order of the devs so that the motion of M. Sarrans dropped. in the course of Tuesday, other persons were ar- rested, among others the ex-Peer of France, Count | d@’Alton Shee. - d’Alton Shee was successively page to | Charles X., peer of France, a conservator, and | devoted to MM" Gurzot, commissary of the tamous | banquet of the Chateau-Rouge, president of one of | ie most violent clubs of Paris, and an ultra-social- ist. M. Aubert-Roche has also been arrested. He was one of the rédacteurs ot the Réforme, and one of the chief founders of the Solidarité Répub- | licatne, aseciety which has ramifications all through France. | Colonel Forestier has been liberated. A heavy fall teok place in the English funds in consequence ot theee occurrences, but they pulled up next day. On Saturday, 3d of February, the National As- sembly closed its sittings with an importaat vote. ‘oirhaye having presented the report of the | committee of inquiry into the military demonstra- tion of the 29th January, which declared against the question of urgency, and gave an opinion in favor of the policy of the government, M. Perée proposed an amendment to the effect that the As- sembly declares that the tendencies of the Minis- iry appear to it to create dangers to the republic, and passes to the order of the day. After a long and stormy debate, it having been proposed as a | further amendment that the Assembly pass simply to the order of the day, this latter amendmen was rejected by a majority of 407 to 387. This, being a serious vete tor the Ministry, pro- duced a great effect. But the Monzeur of Sun- day contained the following official notice:—“The Ministers met at the Elysce Nationale after the sitting. I: was decided tnat they should rest at their post and persevere in the mission confided to them.” M. Perée’s amendment was discussed again in the sitting of Monday, 5th, and a modified amend- ment ot Gen. Oudinot’s adopted—regular see-saw work. It, however, put an end to the,struggle and has strengthened the government. M. Rateau’s motion respecting the dissolution of the Assembly came on on Tuesday, Feb. 16th. The original motion, with the sanction of M. Ka- teau, 1s modified in the following amendment of M. Lanjuinai Art. 1, A first deliberation on th be immediately entered upon, Th deliberations shall take place at ti delays fixed by the rules of the house, Art. 2. Immediately after the vote on this law, the be formed, The elections for t! bly shall take place on the first Su: gz the definitive asoption of these lists. The Legislative Assembly shall meet the tenth day followin; t of the elections. Art. 3. The order of the day of the Aseembly shall ‘pe so fixed, that, independentiy of the electoral lew, the law on the Council or State,and the law on the responsibility of the President of the republic and the Ministers, shall be voted before the dissolution. Art, 4. The decee of the 11th Deo 1848, is annulled, #0 far as is contrary to the present law. The discussion has been most violent. M. de Lamartine spoke in favor of dissolution. Ina the course of his preecl he made several remarks which were not 7 ony means palatable to the re- publicans de la velle,,and the ether advocates of the preeent Assembly. He declared that the As- sem Ny was not in accordance either with itself, with the opinion of the country, or with the exe- cutive government. To the fears expressed by many persons, that the future choice of reprecenta- tives to be made by the electors would not be suffi- ciently republican, he replied, ‘‘ Even it that be true, what can you do? ‘ould you republicanize France against her will?’ But he dented that the tepublic was s0 repulsive to France as had been Gieged: There was a species of republic which France accepted, and another which she execrated and repudiated. He then drew an eloquent picture of the two republics, to which the accounts pub- lished of his speech are far from dving justice. lectoral law shal econd and third xpiration of the ple.

From the seat of war in Hungary, fresh bulle- tins arrive, each time announcing a new defeat of the Hungarians. In Lombardy, great discontent prevails, the Austro-Italian towns have refused to send depu- thes to the Austrian Assembly. The Italian papers are tuil of the facts of a terri- ble concussion between the two Neapolitan steam- ers Vesuvius and Antelope, on the night of the 18th January, with a distinguished treight. “The Vesuvius was en rowe to Naple: board his Majesty and the Count of [raj ter enroute to Guta, with four Cardi M.

Signor Mazzini, chief of the Young Italy party, ana Signor Fubrizzi, one ot the principal Italian democrats, are now at Marseilles. GERMANY. The ae from Germany may be summed up very shortly. Ne further steps have been taken toward the election of an Emperor. The King of Prussia 18 shy of an imperial crown, as likely to be toe heavy for him. He has addressed a circu- lar to the different courts of Germany, signed by Bulow, stating the position Prussia wishes to re- main in towards Germany and Austria. This circular 18 the coup de grace of German unity, if, indeed, the silly vote in the Frankfort Parliament, in the postscript of my last letter, had not finished it already. 4 _The above circular, which 1s remarkable for its difluseness and complexity, seems to be put for- ward, not only as a feeler of the sentiments, but as an encouragement to other courts of Germany to combine with Prussia in rejecting a system of The mode in which he desciibed the republic of anarchy, the republic of the clubs, the processions ot 200,000 men, as on the 17th of March, the re- public et the invasion of the 15th of May, and the republic of the days of June, was anything but flat- tering to the revolution of 1849, but it was received by by « large majority of the Assembly with an amount of enthusiastic applause that showed how masterly the picture wastelt tobe. The remainder ot M. de Lamartine’s speech was not so success- ful. The language in which he expressed himselt was very obscure, and lus opinions were so c.n- tradictory, that 1t was impossible to guess on ite side his vote would ultimately be, ull he arrive at the end, and announced that he intended to vote for the motion of M. de Lanjuinais. After M. de Lamartine’s speech, a scene of great confusion followed. The greater portion of the members wished to come to a division at once, but to this the Montagne, which felt that it was in the minority, objected, under pretence that in the first instance 1t was necessary to discuss some seven or eight sub-amendments, of which notice had been given in the course of the day. The moderate party declared that they had no ob- jection to vote on the amendments, provided the division was proceeded to at once; but to this M. Sauteyra and some others objected that they felt it necessary to develop their coe before pro- ceeding toa vote. Upon this the partisans of the adjournment rose in a body and quitted the hall, while the greater portion of the moderate party stopped in their places. The President appeared for some moments to be uncertain what to do, but the noise and confusion continuing, he suddenly put en his hat, and notwithstanding the remon- strances of the Right, declared the sitting ad- journed) M. Marrast is greatly blamed by the organs of the government for his conduct. They say that on this, as on every other occasion, he throws the weight of his aut! jority as President on the side of the Montagnards. Butif the ease be so, why do the Moderates vote for him? The Mon- tagnards will gain little, however, by the adjourn- ment. The Assembly now feels that it has lost all autherity with the country, and that its days are numbered; and, for the sake of its dignity, it sath walk out rather than wait to be kicked out of joors. In the sitting of aii EU ptt, 8th Feb.) a division took place, and M. Lanjuinais’ proposi- tion was adopted by a majority of 187. The new Legislative Assembly cannot meet be- fore the end of May, which, be it remembered, is the eve of June. Revolutions seem chronic dis eases now in France ! Paris was perfectly tranquil at six o’clock on Thureday (yesterday) evening. The assassins of General Brea have been found guilty, and five of them senteneed to death. M. Thiers sent a hostile message to M. Trelat, lest week, on account of some offence givenin one of the bureaux. Marshal Bugeaud and Gene- ral Baraguay d’Hilliers, the seconds of M. Thiers, and M. Grevy and M. Recurt, the friends of M. Trelat, effected a reconciliation. The opening of the conferences at Brussels, en the affairs of Yraly, 18 fixed for the 5th of March. ‘The greater number of the personages whe are to represent the different powers are now assembled in Paris; but it is stated by the Paris papers, that none of them expect any important results from the Congrees. ITALY. SPEECH OF THE KING OF SARDINIA. People are beginning to forget that a Pope exists. His Holiness 18 still at Gaeta, Rumours of his restoration, by dint ot the arms of Austria, Naples, and Spain, are likely to end in smoke. Three Spanish vessels were cruizing off the port, said to have Spanish troops on board; but no such warlike step is likely to eccur. It isto be seen what the much-spoken-ot ye pee of Brussels will do, it it does anything. At Kome, Prince Canino, and all the poner ministry have been returned members to the new Constituent Assembly. The King of Naples has had a narrow escape of drowning, from acollsion at sea. The most important feature ot supreme centrality, which Prussia cannot accept for herselt, without immense risks and disadvan- tages, which will not be ofiered to her unani- mously by the governments, and which she will not permit to be offered to any other power or house, even were it that of Austria. The con- tents of this note, of which halt has been omitted, as totally uninteresting, and it may almost be said irrelevant, confirm all that has been said of the aversion of Prussia to contribute to feed the vora- cious appetite of Frankfort, especially by the ex- clusion of Austria from the bond. This circular is destined to make a great sensation in the politi- cal circles of Germany, and will be fiercely attacked by the Franktort Lett. But it was time that Prussia should speak out, and compel ether States to declare themselves with equal candor. The replies ot Bavaria, Hanover, and Austria, will Le interesting. It 13 to be hoped they will be more concise and simple than M. de Bulow’s theme. SPAIN—DUEL—CIVIL WAR. General Narvaez fought a duel with Senor Sa- gasti, after a stormy debate in the Senate, at the close of the sitting of the 25th Jan. Two shots were exchanged without eflect, when the seconds interlered. Senor Sagasti was Political Chief of Madrid, urder Egpattero, 1n 1843. The civil war continies to a fearful extent 10 the Basque previnces. Accounts arrive daily of wholesale military executions. TURKEY AND GREECE. The Courrier d’ Athenes ot the 17th, announces the death on the 12th ot M. Colocotroni, the Minis- ter of Foreign Aflare, of pulmonary consumption. He was only thirty-eight years ot age. His port- folio is held provisionally by the Minister of the Interior, no decision having been come to as to his succeseor. ; ke tread in the Jowrnal de Constantinople of the 14d news which we have received from Bosnia, of f December 20, announces that the Ottoman ving been informed that seri that country between the had given orders to four battal- Ibania to prozeed there without soon as they mongst the 'y best effect on population In that manner the local succeeded in re-establishing tranquil- lity in the country These accounts add, that by this conduct, as impartial as able, the government had given an additional proof that it desired justice to be done to all the subjects of the Sultan, without dis- tinction of worship or of nationality; and that, in re- turn for that efficient protection, the Sultan and his ccuncillors could reckon on the gratitude and devo- tedners of the Christian populations, which, happy im this pew regime, were well inclined to close their ears against all seditious provocations, and tosscrifice their Ie, it necessary, for th of the dignity of the throne and of the independence of the empire ” Abbas Pacha, who arrived at Constantinople on the 10th, had an interview with the Suitan on the 12th, and was invested by his sovereign with the vice-royalty of Egypt.

The anticipatory accounts of the overland mail frcm Bombay, of the 3d January, arrived in Lon- don on Thursday. The news they bring from the Pupjaub is to the 18th December: it is remarkable, but may be told in few words. The army of Shere Singh has retreated fourteen miles beyond Gen- eral Thackwell’s camp, and there intrenched itself, 30,000 strong, in a position stronger than that at Ramnuggur. Lord Gough has crossed the Che- naub and joined General Thackwell, and stopped all further engagement with the eaemy till Moultan shall havefbeen taken and the besieging force come to his help; which it cannot do before the be- ginning ot February, even if it took Moultan on Christmas day, as is thought probable. The siege~ artillery had alt arrived at Moultan, and a general bombardment and attack were to be made on the 25th December.
