Our London Correspondence. THE SUMMARY OF EUROPEAN INTEL- i LIGENCE. Loxpon, Friday Evening, March 23, 1849. There is no doubt of the resumption of hostili- ties in ITALY, between Austria and Sardinia. Though no ac count of actual collision has as yet reached either Paris or London, we have intelligence of the movement in advance of the Sardinian army, and the evacuation of Parma by the Austrians. The following official proclamations will, I trust, suffice to eonvince the most incredulous :— 10 THE NATIONAL GUARDS OF FIEDMORT. Turin, Mareh 18. On the point of obeying the call of honor and the wih of my people, it is with pleasure I take the oppor- tunity of expressing to you how great is the confidence I place in you. The affectionate solicitude with which, on a former occasion. you guarded the safety of my family, pudlic pence, the defence of the monarchy, and constitutional liberty, proves to me that you will an- awer with equal ardor to the new appeal which I ad- dress to you. The i. eo of the country is not less serious now than it was then; the times are not less aiMeult. Your fortitude, your honor, and faith, will conquer every obstacle, Strengthened by your aid, my government will be able to maintain public order, the inseparable companion of real liberty. Any at- tempt against our institutions may be repelled by your assistance. Secure on this score, 1, who have conse- crated my life and that of my sons to the cause of Italian independence, will rejoice to meet fatigue and r to obtain an honorable peace ; and that your generous brethren, who are ready to fight the stranger, and to shed their blood for their country, m: return to their families. Cranes A THR PROCLAMATION OF THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE PIEDMONTESE ARMY. Avrssaxpria, March 14. Sotprens !—The days of the truce have passed away. and our wishes are granted. Charles Albert again eomes to place himself at the head of your brave rauks. ‘The armistice is renounced, and the days of glory for the arms of Italy are about tocommence. Soldiors, this is the supreme moment! Soldiers, march to the battle, which must be to certain vietory. Following the exemple of yeur princes, who fight in your ranks and the voice of your king, who leads you on, march and prove to Europe that you are not only the bulwark of Italy, but the avengers of her rights. At the proach of your arms the oppressed populations ehange their complainings into erios of joy ; and ouc brothers, once more saved. will fly into your arias, par- ticipating in the intoxication of the triumph gained. ra, the greater your alnerity may be, the more prompt will be your victory—the braver thc battles, the sooner you will return into the bosoms of your families, erowned with laurels, and proud of having a free, in- dependent, and happy country ! Cuntanowsar, Old Field Marshal Radetzki has not been be- ind hand, his address to his soldiers is character- So.piers |Your most ardent wishes are fulfilled. The enemy has renounced the armistice, A second time he stretches out his band to grasp the crown of Italy. But let him be taught that six months have not imany degree lessened your fidelity to our emperor and king, or your bravery in supporting: im. Huving come forth from the gates of Verona, flying from vic- tory to victory, and driven the enemy back within his srontiers, you generously granted him an armistice. While declaring that he waa preparing to make pacific propositions, he was arming himeelf for renewing the wer. We are all armed; and that peace which we generously offered him. we will gain by force in his own capital. Soldiers, the conflict will not belong. It is the rame enemy whom we have beaten at St. Lucia, Somma Campagna, Custozze, Volta, and before the gates of Milan. God is with us, for onr cause is just! Up omee more, soldiers; follow your chief, who has grown grey in arms, to war and Victory. I shall be a witness of your exploits. It will be the last expiring act of my long life, as a soldier, if, in the capital of a disloyal enemy, I can decorate the breasts of m brave comwrados with the insignia of their valor, gained by blood and glory. Let our war cry then be, “ Forward, soldiers, to Turin!” It is there that we shall find tho peace for which we fight. Long live the Emperor! Our country for ever Ravetznt.”’ Marshal Kadetzki has transported his head- quarters to'Crema. Before quitting Milan, he car- nied off the money in the caisse des depots and con- signations, and a vast quantity of precious objects, including the famous iron crown. This treasure, to the amount of about three millions of francs, was sent under a strong escort to Verona. As the Marshal, in his proclamation, declares that he will —— direct to Turin, we may imagine that the iret hostilities will take place between that city and Turin. The Corrcire Mercantile, of Genoa, of the 17th, announces that, according to the last advices, the Austrians were retiring to the left bank of the Po. The following proclamation was published at Leghom:— Crtreens of Lrenone—I am happy to have it in my to communieate to you the following dispatch, which I have this moment received (half-pnst 4 P.M): — The Duke of Modena bas fied. He eft a pro- elawation, in which be declares that he leaves the cit; on aceount of the hostilities which have commence between the Piedinontese and Austrians, A loud can- nonade has been heard at Bologna. May God prosper us! (We arein confidence with the Piedmontese, Ro- man. and Venctian envoys. ‘These are decixive times. Let the people join in a single will; let them prepare theirarms. Pray God to aysist our country, and then let 1m go to vietory; not to death; for a people that has ® will never dies. Lacnonn, Mareh 15. GUERRAZZI, for the absent Governor, Bosst. A'letter from Bologna of the 15th, in the Corriere Mercantile, statesthat the Austrians had evacuated Modena and its territory. They began their re treat on the Mth, ‘The Venice Gazette of the 10th announces that Citizen Milonopulo has been named provisionally to the command of the navy. a ‘The King of Sardinia has named Prince Eugene, of Carignan, Lieutenant General of the kingdom during his absence. In the sitting of the Chamber of Deneilee of Turin, of the Ith, Minister Katazzi efficially announced the rupture of the armistice, which announcement was received with, loud a Jauee. ‘Che Piedmontese press is unanimous in Its approval of the measure, and the same feeling, to all appearances, pervades the great mass of the people. ‘ can rely but sparingly, however, upon news of the warlike operations in. the Piedmontese papere, on account of the restriction jmposed upon them by the bill lately presented in the chamber, for extraordinary powers to be conferred upon the government during the continuation of the war. The Piedmontese army, which consists fof 120,000 men (of which, however, not more than 8),000 are fit to take the field), has its left wing at Novarra, ite right at Voghera, and its centre and reserve at Alessandria and Casale. ‘The Austrian army, in Italy is composed of 106,000 troops and 190 pieces, of artillery; but, as it ie divided into two divisions, it does not appear that Marshal Radetzki has more than 50,000 nen directly availa- ble againet the Piedmontese. Radetzki’s army. has ite right at Magenta, its centre, with a part of its left, at Pavia, and the rest of its left at Pla- centia, Jt is thought that Marshal i will remain on the defensive till attacked. < Bic} SICILY. iaid B From Sicily, accounts are expected of a renewal of IY cae between a and the Ficilians, the latter having refused the terms eficred to them by King Ferdinand., MORNING EDITION----MONDAY, APRIL 9, 1849. Th itement stil prevail e greatest excitement still prevails at Frank- fort, Berlin, and Vienna, on the probable result of the vote on the motion of Deputy Welcker, to confer the imperial crown on the Ming of Prussia with hereditary nights. All eyes are turned on Berlin. The King of Prussia will doubtless re- fuee it; if he accepted it, war with Austria would be the inevitable result, The latest accounts received in London from Frankfort are of the 20th inst. A letter from Frankfort, of that date, says : ‘The discussion of the great Austrian-Prussian ques- tion terminated at four o'clock this afternoon, Tho division will take plece to-morrow ; atill the event is doubtful. Three Austrian deputies, Wurth, Arnett, and Kairer, have withdrawn from the Assembly. and their retirement has been severely censured both by the Left and Schmerlings party ; by the former it has been stamped as treacherous — It would seem, from the bearing of the Prussian party, that they anticipate the King of Prussia’s acceptation of the imperial dignity, in cuse of the offer being made to him. One Prussian deputy has also resigned his seat. y 1 think I can safely state that the King of Prus- sia will refuse the crown. Hostilities have not actually occurred between Germany and Denmark, but the greatest prepara- tions are being made on either side. The German power that bought the Acadia and Bri- tannia to fit out us steam frigates, nearly lost the former. She got on shore; but according to the following letter received at Lloyd’s, is got off :— Auetrxpam, March 16.—The Acadia steamer, from Liverpool to Bremen, which was on shore on the Outer Grounds, near Terschelling, on the 12th inst., was got eff on the following day by, the assistance of pilots, and taken into Terschelling. having sustained but slight damage, and will promptly be able to put to sea again, J etop here, presuming your German correspon- dents will give you further details from that agitat- ed country. THE AGGRESSIONS OF RUSSIA. The position of Russia is what causes the most serious alarm. It is feared that she has a covetous eye on Constantinople. A close alliance between uesia and Austria is confidently hinted at. The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 16th inst., con- tains the following letter from Constantinople, dated 28th February:— There are constant meetings at the Divan. at which the Grand Vizier is frequently present. The Porte has, itis asserted, submitted to the Russian cabinet the project of a constitution for Moldavia and Wallachia, consisting of two chambers, with a President who shali hold the offiee for seven years. That every burgher thall be eligible for the office of President, &c. Whe- ther Russia will give its consent, is another question. ‘Lhe Porte is meanwhile continuing its armaments. Forty ships of the line are now completely equipped in the harbor. Last week the Vice Admiral, Mustapha Pacha, railed out into the Black Sea, and a few daya after several vessels left for the Danube, laden with ar- tillery and other warlike stores, which appear to be chiefly intended for the fortresses on the Danube; these fortresses are, nevertheless, in 80 ruinous and perfectly untenable a state, that merely supplying them with ar- tillery will not prevent their specdy capture. Ouman Pasha has been recalled, and has been replaced by Emir Bey. in the office of commander of the naval division stationed in the Archipelago, and left on the 24th for his destination. The new steamer Medari Tidscharet, built in England, arrived here on the 2st, ‘The Journal de Constantinople says, that on the 14th Sardinian steamer arrived at Antioari, and landed two individuals, who took the road to Belgrade: they are, it is said, Sardinian emissaries, and are commissioned to go among the Slavonian tribes, and make strict inqul- ries reepeeting the present state of things relative to the Slavonian-Hungarian disputes. It however seems much more probable that they are sent to exeite the Slevonians against Austria, A letter from Bucharest, of Feb. 20, in the Paris National, says :— War is imminent. The Russians already amount amongtt us to more than 100,000 men, The ‘Turks also are sending numerous reinforeements, A body of 20,000 troops from A\ have just passed the Danube, id 40.000 more are expected. Omir Pasha has received orders to concentrate the different detachments of the Turkish army which are dispersed in the country. The new corps of the Turkish army which arrive make a sort of triumphal entry, the people receiving them an liberators. Superior Kussian officers have been givon to the Moldo-Wallachian militia; but, as desertions were apprehended in the face of the Tarkish camp, or- ders have been given to send the greatest part to Transylvania, where they will be employed, in concert with the Russian troops, in defending the fortified places. Orders were at the same time transmitted to the commander of the Russian troops in Transylvania to have all the refugees of the W. hin revolution arrested. We do not know if Austria will consent to deliver them up; but what is certain is, that the Rus- sian General, Duhamel, has promised to have all the partisans of Kossuth who should seek an asylum in the principalities arrested. This reciprocity of friendly proceedings causes Us to be uncary as to the fate of our rothers who have taken refuge In the States of Aus: tria. The Turkish commissioner has, however, in- formed the Wallachian authorities thut he will not suffer the duties of hospitality to be violated with reapect to the Magyars who may be forced by events to seek an asylum on the neutral territory of the princl- ities. In a town of Lesser Wallachia there have nm new troublus; the peasants having risen against the Prefect, who is a man gold to Russia, tho Russian roldiers received orders to march against the crowd; but some T ish soldiers having hastened to the aid of the peasants, a struggle ensued, which was noar be- ing the signal of a real insurrection, THE RUSSIAN QUESTION IN THR BRITISH PARLIAMENT— fs . WHAT WILI BE DONE? | This question was brought forward in the House of Commons last night. Lord Duptey Sruant moved for “an address for co- ples or extracts of any correspondence between this government and the government of Turkey, and be- tween this government and the government of Russia, relating to the occupation by Russian troops, of the provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia. In support of this motion the noble lord went into a lengthened statement, which he eoncluced by dwelling for some time upon the im e, to the commercial interests of this country, of the integrity and independence of the Turkish empire. ‘The motion wus seeonded by Colonel THomrson. Lord Pataerston could not, eonsistently with his tense of duty, assent to the production of the papers alluded to, these papers having reference to « negotia- tion which was not yet completed. Their production, therefore, at this particular period, would not be com- patible with the interests of the public service, The whole subject was one which was regarded by the govern- ment as of great national and Ewropeun importance. Eng- land could not fail to treat the independence of Tur- key as being of great political and commercial impor- which was tance to her. Its integrity could not be compromised, nor sts subjugation effected by one or more por , without giv- ing rise to a European conflict, and deranging the exist- ing relations between the European states. The inte- rest of England was to maintain the status quo in the East, This feeling, in behalf of Turkey, was not confin- ed to England, some of the continental powers being as anxious as rhe war to maintain the integrity of that country. Verbal and other communications were be- ing mado upon the subject, at this eourt, whilst our umbaseador at St. Petersburg and the Ruavian government were also in negotiation upon it— ‘The communications were received in the same friendly spirit as that in which they were made, and, 40 far, they had been productive of nochange whatever in the amicable relations happily subsisting between Great Britain and Russia. The noble lord then expressed hin conviction that Russia harbored no intention of making any permanent encroachment upon the independence of Turkey. That which had taken place had been su- erinduced by the revolutionary attitude of provinces dering on the Russian territory, Russia having, in self-defence, interfered to prevent the spread of revolu- tion amongrt her own subjects, The conduct of Tur- key, throughout, had been of a very praiseworthy cha- pectas: a3 he Bad every Feason to believe, teusting to ¢ forbearance ies, that the public peace fouls seis dite rhe Mr. Anarey «poke in support of the motion, and inti- mated his intention of dividing the House upon it, should the noble mover be persuaded to attempt to withdraw it, or to let it be negatived without a division, Mr. M. Mixes hoped that Mr. Anstey would not pur- gue the course which he had just intimated his intention 0 take, After a few observations from Mr. Unqunart, Mr. i expresred a hope that Lord Palmerston's explanation would, for the time being at least, natixfy those who supported the motion, thinking that it would be unwise to adopt the suggestion of Mr. Anstey, and prees the House to a division, Mr. Disxaxts also hoped that no division would, for the prerent. be taken, as the result of @ division might ercate a falee impression abroad. He then entered upon a lengthened eulogy of the eharaeter and conduct of the Emperor of Russia, who bad, during the last twelve months, resieted many great temptations to the further aggrandixement of his crown, and whose policy had ‘deen too often unmeritedly denounced by members of the Houre—a policy, in cominenting on which Mr. Hume had, for years, consistently treated the House to “ un- mitigated nonsense.”? “ "the sitting of the House was impertant on two other heads. Lord Aberdeen opened a debate on the renewal of hostilities in Italy; but no points of interest were elicited. : The rebellion indemnity in Canada was the chief point of intereet. I must go back to Tuesday:— CANADIAN AFFAIRS IN ENGLAND. On that day, in the House, Mr. M’Kenzix rose and raid. he had seen in one of the potlie cee saat bill had been intradieet, in the oloni elature of Cam and was my through It, to indemni pervious for the lossee ml era | tustained during the rebellion of 1837 and 18%8—those perrons having been coneerned in the rebellion—and one of the purposes being to indemnify certain convicts pine baad fate gee bod Queen, for the inconve- nience the, ned in taking @ voyage to Van Ditsbene: Land) ame beak (Laughter) It was also ftated, that @ person named Nelson is to be indemol- tied for the damage done to hia house by the Queen's troops, that house te be epee He (vir.

No information has been received, on which I could, to-morrow. make any other answer than Inow make. (Hear, hear.) Mr. M’Krnziez—Am | to understand the hon. gentle- man to say that he has no knowledge of such a bill being introduced? (Hearjhear.) Mr. Hawes-—I have no knowledge of such a bill being in- troduced, from any official source whatever; nor have I, in- deed, any knowledge of the fact at all. (Hear, hear.) The Europa arrived 50 hours afterwards, full confirming every particular ; and next day the fol- lowing appeared in the Chrontcle : ‘The arrival of the Europa has relieved us from the task—which we were fully prepared to perform—of vin- dicating the authenticity and sufficiency of the infor- mation on which we founded our article of Monday morning. relative to the measure brought forward in the Canadian Legislature, by the Prime Minister of the colony, for granting compensation to the rebels of 1887-8. Our readers will learn. by the intelligence which we elsewhere print, that, although ‘no despatch, and no communication. to the effect of the article in the Morning Chronicle had been received at the Colo- nial Office,” when Mr. Hawes addressed the House of Commons on Monday evening—and although her Ma- jesty’s Under-secretury of State for Colonial Affairs “had no knowledge of such a bill being introduced, from any official source whatever, nor had he, indeed, any knowledge of the fuet at all "—this most monstrous of schemes is a fact, nevertheless, It is Mr, Hawes that has been dreaming—not the Morning Chronicle. This rebel compensation measure, of whieh the Colonial Office had, up to Monday night, no knowledge at all, has already passed through its first and decisive stage, by @ majority of nearly three to one. After a mont stormy and protracted sitting, the Canadian House of Arsembly has resolved, by 59 votes agninst 20, to go into committee on this enormous and audacious pro- ject. We rererve for another oecasion our comments on Mr. Hawes’s astounding avowal, not only of official. but even of personal, ignorance, respecting a matter which was universally notorious among parties connected with Canada—the rulers of our colonial empire alone excepted. , Last night Mr. Grapsrone rose, and asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies the three following questions :— 1, Whether any instructions have been given to the Goyernor- General of Canada, as to the course which he is to pu: in the event of its being proposed to him by his advisers, to allow them to introduce into the House of Assembly any bill giving co.upensation to any persons known to have been impliested in the rebellions of 1837 or 1838, on aceount of the damage sustained by them in those rebellions, or in the event of the passing any such bill through the two houses of the Provincial Legislature ? 2. Whether, according to the usage of Canada, if any such bill should have passed through both houses of the Legislature, and should have become an act by the Governor-Gencral’s assent, without @ suspending clause, the money thereby authorized to be paid would be payeble forthwith, or before her Majesty's servants bad had an opportunity of advising her Majesty with rerpect to the allowance or dirallowance of such act ? 8. Whether any offieial intelligenee had been re- ceived reepeeting such @ bill; and ifso, whether the government Were prepared to lay such intelligence be- fore the House? Mr. Mawes, in reply to the first question, said that no instructions whatever had been given to Lord Elgin in reference to such a bill, or in contemplation of any such measure. ‘1 he Colonial Secretary had entire con- fidence in the discretion of the Governor-General. In reply to the seeond question, he observed that ail oo- lonial bills, whether money bills or otherwise, having passed through their formul stages, and received the assent of the Crown through its representatives in the colonies, came into immediate operation; unless thi contained @ suspending clause, To the third qui tion, he replied that no despatches whatsoever been reeeived from Lord Elgin with reference to a mea- sure like that alluded to. He had, therefore, no official information to lay before the House. He thought it right to mention that, although no official information had been received. Earl Grey had received @ private letter from Lord Elgin. Mr. Hux wished to know if tho compensation of £100,000 for rebellion losses in Canada had not been recommended by a commission, which had been up- pointed during the admisietration of Lord Metealfe, and whilet the colonial tories were in power? He also withed to know whether the recommendation of the eommission was not that,in paying the losses, rebels should be exeluded froin the indemnity ? Gir G. Guxy thought that it would be better to post- pone such questions until official intolligence Be sa received from the province. The bill alluded to had not yet passed, end it was because it had not done #0 that Lord Elgin had abstained from oMeially commuai- eating in rerpeet to it. Mr. Hume was dissatisfied at no answer having been given to his question. Sir G. Guxy admitted that such a commission as had been alluded to by the honorable gentleman, had been appointed, and had reported; but it was still an open question whether that which ‘the commission propoxed was identical with the ohjeet of the bill now before the Provincial Parliament. Mr. Grapstowe then proposed to read some resolu- tions which would throw light upon the point in ques- jon. Sir G. Gurr (in eonsiderable agitation) rose to order, and objected to the reading of the resolutions, as they would give rise to a debute, which would be out of or- der, upon a mere question, and into whieh it would be improper to enter before full information was before e Houre, srone wished to read the resolutions simply he thought that the anawer received by Mr. Hume was calculated to create an erroneous impression. The subject then dropped, ufter having absorbed for some ininutes the attention of # very full house. This debate is important, as the present ministry has got into so many scrapes on colonial afluirs that it may lead to a change of the cubinet. ‘ AFFAIRS IN INDIV. 3 The India mail has arrived, but brings intelli- gence of no more fighting.

A AMERICAN APFATRS. ‘The inaugural speech of President Taylor has elicited the highest praise from the London press. The following, from the Standard, speaks for all :— ‘The very able and statcemanlike uddress of the new President of the United States, General Taylor, is a mort important document, and ought at this moment to engage the particular attention of our rulers, and at once induce them to withdraw their anti-British destructive Navigation Laws Bill. It is quite clear, as we have all along stated, that ample proteetion to all na- tive industry is henceforward to be the law and the rule, and the very proper law and rule, of the United States. These States are quite right. Our business and our duty is to adopt the samo course. Our do- minions, like theirs, produce every thing that we can porsibly require, and protection, by reasonable revenwe duties, is the proper course to take to secure the pros- perity of all the great interests of this country, and, in fact, of the whole British empire. In reference to the policy of the United States, we have much eatisfaction in placing before our readors the following extract of «letter from a well-informed and disinterested source, received by the present mail. On the information conveyed we place the most im- plicit reliance. To this we add the report of the com- mittee ot Congress, appointed to consider the nume- rous memorials and petitions from the State of Pennsyl- vania, and other places, in reference to the existing tariff. and the distress {t has cceasioned, together with the alterations which are considered necessary to afford relief, and to give adequate protection to all American interests. It is a document of some importance at this moment, erpecially as showing the opinions entertain- ed by even an American free trade House of Reprosenta- tives, Our worthy friends, the Chamber of Commerce of Manchester, whom wo have so often honestly coun- selled in vain, had better attend to the facts which are now placed before them. If the proposed high per centages are necessary in the lightly taxed United States for the protection of their native indust: much higher ought such to be—nay, must such ia highly-taxed Great Britain, where # fourth part of the annual income is paid in necessary taxation? ‘The American papers seem quite delighted, and just- ly #0, we think, with the President's address; and short- ly recommend all those who cannot understand it to go to echool immediately. In this recommendation they are right. I posted a long letter on the 20th, which you will probubly receive after this,as the Hermann does not now eail till the 26th, I will send @ letter on the 26th, and by the Sarah Sands on the 28th. I send the very latest quotations from London and Parisg Our Liverpool Correspondenec. Livenroor, March 24, 1849. The Navigation Laws—The Ministry—Ocean Mail Steamert—Jenny Lind— Markets, §c. Laet night's debate on the navigation laws was adjourned. The eecond edition of the London Standard, of laet evening, says that it is the intention of minis- ters to resign, if defeated on this question. In my laet deapatch, I mentioned that the Acadia had left her dock, being ready for sea. On that day, 10th March, she left the Mercey, having clear- ed out at the Custom House, for Antwerp and Bremen. On Saturday morning following, we re- ceived the following intelligence, from a person who had juet come from near the spot:—**The Acadia is on ehore, on Terchelling reefs, Dutch coast. If the report which I heard of her be true, I fear she will go to pieces, for the day she struck it was blowing a gale from the N. the worst wind fe col e.” On the first announcement of this dieuster, it was calculated that it could not be the Acadia, and must be the Hermann, which also was bound for the same ports. It has since ap- peared that the report, as regards the ship’s name, was quite correct; but lam glad to say ehe has been got off, and is now in Bremen-haven. i Talking about steamers, I was, yesterday, in- formed that a most important discovery—amount- ing to a discovery indeed—had been effected in machinery, and will be applied to the engines now progressing for the new transatlantic steamers, the Asia and Africa, and which, it is said, will work wonders, | The Europa reached the Mersey at half-past nine o’clock, on Tuesday morning. ‘She had favorable weather, but her progress was sadly retarded by ice, notwithstanding that she kept in the latitude of Boston, hoping to escape it. On her arrival here, her floats were in a sad condition, several paving been taken off as useless on the pas- sage. The Hermann is advertised to sail from Southampton, on Monday next. ; On Thureday next Jenny Lind is going to favor us with another visit. On Thursday morning, at 10 o’clock, the sale of tickets commenced, and I may say ended; for within two hours it was an- nounced to those in waiting, who in number were about 300, that 1,500 tickets had been sold! Such was the anxiety to procure tickets that a most ex- traordimary scene occurred. The street in which the Collegiate stands is a very wide one, yet such was the attendanee even aed A.

The Position of France—The Elections—Fashion— Partus, §c., §c., §. Within the last fortnight, there is but little do- mestic intelligence, of much importance. The go- vernment has determined to maintain a passive at- titude, as far as is possible, until the convocation of thenew Assembly. They are tired of being thwarted by the present Chamber, in which a de. cided majority exists against them; while this majority dare not assume the responsibility of @ government in accordance with its own policy, knowing that the majority of the French people is opposed to it. The electoral law, after struggling through a long, tedious, and fruitlees de- bate, and being subject to amendments without end, has at length passed, and we are now able to fix definitively the moment of the convocation of the new Assembly. According to the conditions which have been adopted, that body will meet in the last week of May, at which time the functions of the present Assembly will cease. Nothing can be more, amusing than the absurd, the singular, manner in which, in this democratic country, an under @ regime eo ultra-democratic, the Assembly has multipiied the disqualifications which attend a candidate for the Assembly. One would think, that for the same reason that every French citizen is tenacious of his right to a voice in the choice of the representatives of the nation, he would be tenacious equally of his right to become representative him- self; but it is precisely the contrary. Just in pro- portion as the right of suffrage is extended, the right of eligibility is contracted. When the number and variety of diequalifying conditions ure considered, it will seem difficult to find any person who will be qualified to sit in the new Assembly. Every one who is concerned in any enterprise, great or small, inconnection with the government, is ex- cluded. Thue, all railway share holders are excluded. It is even contended that all holders in the funds, and, in short, every one who is, di- rectly or indirectly, connected with the State, and who receives any emolument from, by, or de- pending on the State, is excluded. The absurdity of all this is, however, eo glaring, that it is hoped that it will cure iteelf, and thus the conditions will be allowed to become obsolete, Immediately after the adeiien of the electoral law by the Assembly, the electoral committee of the parliamentary club of the Rue de Poitiers pub- lished its manifesto, which you will see in the Lendon journals. This document is the produc- tion of M. Thiers. A sub-committee, composed of himself, MM. Mole and Bugeaud, was appointed to prepare it. This document defines, in a manner sufficiently clear, the attitude assumed for the resent by the political parties in France. All the former ehades of political opinion are now fused into two, which are denominated, by ual ais of the rue de Poitiers the parties of order and disorder. The purty calling itself that of order, and which is identified with the club of the Rue, de Poitiers, consists of legitimists and monarchists, of every thade. It includes nearly all those parties who were represented in the old Chamber of Deputies by the extreme left. It includes the Henri Quin- quistes, the Philippists, the partisans of the Re- ency, With the Count de Paris, and a large portion, if not the whole, of the imperiulists. These other- wise discordant elements have coalesced, and raised a ccmmon flag against socialism, commu- niem, and red republicanism. But, as the party which may be called the sincere republic, or the Republic of, the Veille—that party, whose opinions are epoken in the National, could not, on the one hand, bring itself to coalesce with such re- pugnant elements as constitute the club of the Rue de Poitiers, and, on the other hand, does not find itself sufficiently strong to etand alone, it has, at least for the purposes of the election, couleeced for the moment with the party of the Mountain, the Red Republicans, So- cialists and Communists. Repulsive asthe doc- trines of this extreme party are to the philosophical republicang, they are still republicans in all sinceri- ty, and, as such, are less repugnant to the I y, of the National than are the Monarchists of the Rue de Poitiers. You see, then, the two parties into which France is now divided, and it will be evi- dent that their coherence cannot be either strong or durable. They will hold together, however, for the purpoee of the elections, to this extent, that the candidates to be advanced by the constituent elements of either party will not run against each other go as to fritter away the strength of the entire party by division. But after the Assembly shall meet, it cannot be expected that this connec- tion will be maintained. The moment that any overt act is attempted, indicating a tendency either to imperialism on the one hand, or to legitimatism on the other, the moderate party, as it calls itself, will eplit into pieces; but, as opposed to the social- iets and extreme republicans, this party will pre- gent a moet imposing majority. It may be prema ture now to attempt to form an estimate of the amount of euch majority. The Legitimists have given out, as I told you in my last, that they are sure of 300 seats, 1 think, however, this is exagge- rated; what is certain, however, is, that the ultra- republican and democratic parties will suffer an immense loss in the coming, as compared with the preeent, Assembly. The danger is, and, indeed this i8 Schnowledged by the moderate party itself, that the ultra-demeeratie party will be so fully re- presented in the Assembly, that it will resort to vio- \ nt measures in the clubs and secret societies, and in all the other “ fect” of agitation, which are 60 innumerable in the chief towns of France. ‘ At the present moment, the ultra-democratic arty is suppreesed in Paris ;.the measures adopted by the government to intimidaf® it are on so formi- deble aecale, that it does not raise its head. ‘There are at present, actually, in Paris, 60,000 re- gular troops. There are in the Baulieu, that is, in the ring of villages by which the capital is sur- rounded, ubout as many more. It is further an- nounced that the Placire of St. Maur, at Vin- cennee, is immediately to be covered with tempo- rary barrecke, or a sort of brick camp, in which 20,000 men can be quartered. Besides this, the minictry have ordered to be cantoned, at different ints along the eeveral lines of railway about Fo0,c60 troops, 60 placed, that by means of the te- legraph and the machinery of the railway, they can be at any moment brought into Paris at six hours’ notice. Thus it may be etated, that the govern- ment hae it in its power to present a mass of up- wards of 200,000 ghting men, independent of the National Guerde, upon the elightest: appearance of ineurrection. Under such circumstances, it may jairly be stated, that insurrection is morally impos- sible. As toun insurrection any where but in Paris, it ig not feared, or even thought of, This etate of things will continue eo long as the present minietry hold office, and it is certain that they will now continue in office, at least, until the next Ateembly isfconvened. The majority of that Aerembly will be even more reactionary than the present ministry, and it is probable that any the cabinet, scene, rather change which may take place. in will be a change in the monarehical than the reverse. Still it must be acknowledged that the at majority in Paris is adverse to any | violence, they are advocates of legality, and itis | probable that they may be disposed to acquiesce in maintaining the status quo for some time to come. Nothing but an insurrection would lead them sud- denly to adopt any form of monare Whether the Assembly, when convened, may adopt any mea- sure tending to a modification of the constitution, it is impossible now to predict. In the absence of political news, it may not be out of place to send you some gossip of a more eocial kind. We have, as I mentioned to you in my last letter, numerous re-unions, such as balls, concerts, recep= tions, &c., which are crowded nightly. Since my luet, the President of the republic hus given another ball. It took place at the [lysée Paulon, on Wed- needay, the Mth instant. You must take care how, you trust, however, to the glowing descriptions of this fete, which you will find given by the Paris correepondents of the London journals. Nothing can be more completely the reverse of truth than these descriptions. The truth is, that, from what- ever cause it may have proceeded, this second ball has been a complete failure, and is the source of deep and heartfelt dissatisfaction and disgust to the President himself. It is true that the external appearance of the company was not, on the whole, fesbrltast than that of other re-unions of amore select kind; but you know very well that the Parisian females of every rank and condi- tion, above the lowest, have a passion and a taste for dress, which must be indulged coute gut coute, and, therefore, the company assembled at the Elysée, on this occasion, presented to the eye of an observer, unacquainted with their real chiracter and position, a sufficiently brilliantcoupd'’ad They were, however, as they say in Paris, wne societé tres mal ccmposée, The corps diplomatique were, ot course, present with their ladies ; and, 80 far, there was a certain eplendor of rank and fashion. A large portion of thefcompany consisted of the wreck of the imperial noblesse. Anold officer of the empire aflirm- ed, that he recognised, among the elder portions of the females, the widows and ancient chere amies o! the great illustrations of the imperial court. Among theee were some truly venerable and re- rpectable persons, the most conspicuous of whom were the wicow of the brave Ney, who entered the room leaning upon the arm Shee eon, Edgar Ney, one of the aides-de-camp of the President. Other imperialist ludies, however, did not awaken the respectful sentiments which this lady excited on every side. A large ingredient of the re-unien consisted of persons sufficiently respectable in their way, but whom one would not certainly have ex- pected to find there, ut least not in the same pro- portion. ‘The inferior clerks of public offices and of railways, with their fumilies, were present. Third and fourth rate hotel keepers, especially thoee frequented by the English, the clerks in the ira of the English booksellers and reading rooms, with their wives and families, were also recog- nised ; but these were not at all the mos; objec- tionuble part of the assembly. No small portion of those femmes galantes, who are seen prome- nading the Champs Elysees and the Bois du Bou- logne every day in showy coupés with glaring live- rier, were there. An instance in particular has been mentioned as worthy of notice. A lady was observed among the company, so loaded with dia- monde, as to make her.an object of special atten- tion; and much curiosity was exhibited as to who the could could be, considering that the value of the jewels she wore indicated a personage of great wealth, if not of high rank. She was at length, however, ascertained to be the femme entretenue of a wealth jewelry, in the Palais Royal. The Faubourg St. Germain shone by her absence. Nothing was spared which hospitality could sug- gest. A magnificent supper was provided, with a profusion of champagne. It was said in the room, that the contractor for the supper was bound to fur- nich that beverage at the rate of two bottles per head for each of the male guests ; and it was since eaid, that such justice was done to this, that not a bottle remained full. As the hours rolled on, the stimuliting effects of this became apparent, and more noise and confusion than was at all desirable for the place or the occasion, were exhibited. It will be asked how such a result could have oc- curred. This has been explained by stating that the tickets of invitation were issued in large num- bers topersons who did not, or could not, attend the ball, and that a large number of those were trans- ferred, or somehow or other fell into the hands of other parties, who thus obtained admission upon them. It was ascertained afterwards that the names on many of the cards had been erased and others substituted, and thus that a large number of ereons who had never been invited were present. Where is no doubt that this cayse operated to a greater or lees extent ; but still it is admitted that the class of persons whose presence was most des tuble were absent, not by accident, but by design. It will naturally be asked, how this could have occurred, seeing that so large and respectable a portion of the élite of Purisian society, and espe- cially of the Faubourg St. Germain, were present at the famous entertainment which I reported to you in my last letter, ‘To explain this, it is said, in the first place, that the number of the higher classes who attended the former ball was greatly exagge- rated. A complaint was made by many families of the Faubourg St. Germain, whose names had appeared in the semi-official journals of the government as having been present, who did not attend on. the occasion. A disavowal ‘wus accordingly ineerted in the Moniteur, in which it was stated that such reports were entirely inex- act, and that they had not emanated from aug au thority. The fact was, that three or four of the leading legitimist families did not attend the for- mer ball, but most of those who had been invited declined. None of that class had uccepted the in- vitatione on the present occasion. The rumor now ie, that the annoyance felt by the President at the reeult of this last ball,is such, that no other festival of the eame kind will be attempted, at least for the present. P ethe ‘President is not fortunate in the members of his family, or connexions, by whom he is sur- rounded. He had hoped at first, that the Dowager Grand Duchess of Baden, his aunt, could be pre- vailed on to come to Paris, to do the honors of his court. This lady, however, declined, and at pre- rent no lady of his family is put forward to receive his guests—he alone receives them. It may not be uninteresting to give here a sketch of the principal surviving members of the Bona- arte family, especially of those who are in Paris: The Empetor left four surviving brothers—Joseph, formerly King of Spain; Lucien, Prince of Canino; Louis, formerly King of Holland; and Jerome, formerly King of Westphalia. Of these, the last alone eurviv Joseph left a daughter, who after- wards married the eldest son of Lucien. This eldest eon is now the Prince of Canino, and holds a prominent position in the newly proclaimed Roman Kepublic, or, the Constituent Assem- bly, of which he is Vice-President. ‘Lucien left several other children, all of whom | still eurvive. His eldest daughter is the Princess | Gabriello. His second daughter, Letitia, married | Mr. Thomas Wyse, the member for Wi Waterford, | frem whom, after she had had one child, she se- | parated. She has since, howeyer, had a family of | illegitimate children. The third child of Lucien bears his name, and is now in Pans. Ife was elected lately a representative to the Assembly for Corrien, but his election was null and void. ‘The fourth child was Pierre, also elected representative for Coreicn, and now in Paris. The fifth is Antoine, who resides in Italy. The sixth, Marie, married to a cousin and the seventh, Constance, a nun. Such was the family of Lucien, Prince of Canino. The present Prince of Ca- nino, his eldest eon, married, as I have etated, to the daughter of Joseph, has eight. children, the eldest of whom is now twenty-five years. Most ef the younger members of this family have lately arrived in Paris for the purpose of their education. 3 Louis Napoleon, ex-King of Iolland, has left only one surviving son, who is now the President of the Republic. It will be seen, that by seniority he is not properly the representative of the Em- peror, the children of Lucien being before him. sy right of primogeniture, the Prince of Canino weuld therefore be at present the heir of the Em- veror. But it will be remembered that when Napoleon aseumed the purple, his brother Lucien, » etaunch Rey ablican, did not countenance what he considered an usurpation of the liberties of the people; an estrangement took place, and the Im- penal decree which declared the members, of the Bonaparte family French princes did not. include Lucien, Ata late period, however, Lucien was erates ie 3 others, a ae wrae given barby the laws of the Empire, prion! f younger children and it ag thus that Prince ne us ton of the ex-King of Holland, is now regarde as the head of the Bonaparte famiiy. Jercme, the only. surviving brother of the Em- seror, was declared King of Westphal: in 1807, in 1815, after the battle of Waterloo, he became Prinee of Montford. Having been divorced from his firet wife, Elizabeth Patterson, of Baltimore, in the United States, in 1805, he soon afterwards married Sophia, Princees of Wurtemberg, who tied in 1888. By her, Prince Jerome had two Children, the Princess Mathilde, who married, in 1¥41, Prince Anatolo Demidoti,{and the Prince Na- leon, who is a representative of Corsica j ‘kesembl . After the election in Dene iee Prince Jerome was appointed Governor of the In- valides, where he now resides. Le has, for many years; cohabited with an Italian lidy, who pisses as his wife, but with whom there his never beem any public or acknowledged marriag. ‘The Prin- cess Mathilde Demidoff sep wated from her hu band some time since, under curious ciream- etances, which are variously reported. It appears that, either by her own eolicitutions, or by the dic- tates of his proper will, the Emperor of Russia or- dered a separation, and exercising the powar which he poss as sovereign of that county, interdicted Prince x midoff from living in the same city with his wife. The Prince is now, or was lately, at Brussels; the Princess lives at Paris, and frequents, as other ladies do, the palace of the President, her cousin. on after the proclam t- tion of the President, th-re was much discussion as to the female members of the Bon parte family who should do the honors of the pi Princess Mathilde was pointed ont, as well by ber own rank in right of her husband, as by her near relationship to the President, as the fittest per- eon for this purpose. She was also resident im Paris, and must necesearily be present at tte court. Itseems, however, that the haute sovid/é demurred to any euch arrangements, and it was plainly intimated, that if that lady did the honors, the said haute scetété would not present itself at the palace. The difficulty was attempted to be sur- mounted, ag I have stated, by inviting the Grant Duchess of Baden to come to Paris, to do the honors. This lady, however, hiviag declined, ther difficulty remained without solution, and it ie said that the Prince President left to the eh of Princess Demidoff, either to be pi ladies, without exercising any functions or as- suming any paramount position, or to leave Paria. The Princess choose the former, and she accord- ingly now appearsat the balls, reunions,and other re- ceptions of the palace, but with no marked cireum- stance which distinguishes her from other ladies. This, however, 18 not, the only embarrassm: by which the President is beset. Madaine Wyse, with her family, is resident in Paris. She is not received at the palace of the President at all. Oae of her daughters recently married a certain Count de Saline, whose rank and title she now bears. Thig lady is also in Paris, and is conspicuous at public balls and other ceremonies, but neither is the received at the palace of the President. A difference is lately reported to have arisen be- tween the President and his uncle Jerome, in eon- sequence of which the latter does not now appear at the palace. ; Pierre and Lucien Napoleon, the sons of the late Lucien, Prince of Canino, belong to the party of the red republic, and they are thus, both politically and socially, estranged from the President. Lucien Murat, the eon of the celebrated Murat, and of Caroline, the eldest sister of the Emperor Napoleon, is now in Paris, and is seen constantly at the palace of the President. He is a member of the Assembly, and a Colonel in the National Guard. Hig politics are those of the moderate party, and he is therefore in perfect harmony with the Presi- dent. He lived for many years in the United States, where he married an American lady, who, with her children, are now in Paris. Such is a rapid sketch of the members of the Bonaparte family, and it will be seen that, unhap- wily, only three of them, Napoleon Bonnpurte, the Princess Muthilde, and Lucien Murat, are now seen at the President’s, The ministry and the cause of order have just had a signal triumph in the vote of the Assembly for the suppression of the clubs, which has been carried by a, majority of 404 to 303. The debate, which gave rise to some interesting incidents, yow will Hintl in the English journals of to-day. Commercial Cireulars, Market Reparts, &c, Financial Affairs. Panis, March 22, 1849. THE PRENCH MONEY MARKET. There are few examples at the Bourse of 80 con- stanta rise as has lately occurred without some realizations of profit having from time to time stopped its progressive march. The following statement will show the course of quotations, for cash, since the 15th of November—the period where something like a favorable movement was peroep~ tible in the market.

The Bourse of Monday, even in the opinion of the most cautious, was to show a con- tinuation of the rise, and 90 francs for the Five per Cente were generally bars of as the probable quotation for that day. Cupital was flowing in,. it was eaid, from all quarters. Buyers from Jondon and Ameterdam, were operating freely in the market. Germans and Italians were bring- ing in funds for investment. The provincials were remitting moncy that had been for some time withdrewn, and all to find employment at the Bourse. Besides these, the old depositors in the Savings Banks were expected to crowd into the market with the amounts they had lately received, to buy into the Rentes. Stock would necessarily beeome ecarce, and a continued rise was, under all aspects, inevitable. That which mye authority to this reasoning, was the undoubted truth of the premises on which it was founded ; the error lay in drawing conclusions somewhat too rashly. Monday came, and the market opened with re- duced quotations. Various were the causes as- tigned. Large aales to realize profits, dissensions irs the cabinet in respect of Itulian affairs, &c., &. were etated to be the motives. The fall alarm the buyers. They began to perceive that they bad ventured too ruehly, and a gradual decline was coneequence. This was followed by rumors of the resump- tion of hostilities by Piedmont, and speculators, who, in their convictions of un i table rise, and their calculations as to its consequences, appeared) for some time to have altogether lost sight of foreign policy, now began to take serious alarm at the warlike disposition of Sardinia, the complica~ tions beyond the Rhine, and the cruel injustice of Russia in th@ East. Within three Bourses, the funds had fallen 6 or7 francs. It was a veritable nic. The Rentes had, it was aseerted, fallen into bad hands; advanced from 75 to 80 francs by capitalists, they had been raised from 80 to SS iranch by speculators of influence, and from 86> to 90 francs, they had evidently been abandon- ed to gamblers who had been encouraged by the euccess of their operations, and found a dangerous fecility in carrying them out, together from the universally entertained and senperceny well found- ed opinion of a continuous rise; and this to a at extent is the explanation given of the rapid fall in the market. Yesterday it had the appearance of being somewhat er, and an evident ameliora- tion was about to exhibit itself, whea the courre taken by the opposition on # law as to the clubs occasioned a fall of 1 45 without the ‘ parquet; but a re-action taking place on the announcement of the ee - the vote is favor of es pve ee a rige of one franc was the consequence. That we are, without doubt, in the course of improvement, is undeniable; and from the reeump- tion of employment for our merchants, manufac- turere and artisans, which is now beginning to ex- hibit iteelf, in combination with other causes, we ehall certainly see credit and confidence restored. M. Pasey, the Minister of Finance, holds out to us eolid hope of this, and his speech hus been a great encouragement for the country. Order, he says, is feeetabliched in the finances; the, public service us provided for, and the deficit 1s diminishing by in- creased receipts.
