Dusty, April 20, 1849, lease of Duffy—Statistics of Dublin—The Rate in Aid— The Crops, $e. ‘The mail which brings you this letter will also bring jou the pleasing and joyfal intelligence of the disagree- ent of Mr. Duffy’s jury, and his release, The Ame- ican people, { am sure, will hail this news with much tisfaction, and that Mr. Duffy has agai, for the third {ter being tried thrice by a jury of his country- hen—eseaped the fangs of the Attorney General aad is masters, notwithstanding the unconstitutional de- Hsion on his guilt made lately by the Viceroy to the leputation which waited on him for the purpose of fraying that clemency should be shown to the prisoner er all the perseeution he had sustained. You will ¢ that six of the jury were for a verdict of acquittal, Ind six for a qualified verdict of guilty. (This, of ourse, amounts to an acquittal on the charges for hich he was tried, This the government are wel are of; for it is stated that the Attorney Gengral has ceived instructions not to proceed any further: Mr. Duily has been suffering from indisposition since is release, and is at present on a visit to his brother- p-law, Dr, Callan, of Baggot street. It is now confi- jently hoped that the convicted State prisoners Hessrs, O'Brien, Meagher, &e., will not be pressed on he wait of error, but that government will relax a reat deal of that rigor and severity'which have cha- terised all their State prosecutions. ‘The violent state of excitement which has been pro- luced in the minds of the people, consequent on the te-in-aid scheme, has greatly subsided; as it is gene- ly supposed her Majesty’s ministers cannot pass the easuro into @ law, but intend abandoning it, and, in {ts stead, propose an income tax—which, I need not II you, will create as great an uproar, as ‘poor Paddy onsiders he has enough of taxes already to pay, with- jut mulcting him with more. How the present state if things will end, appears to be a mystery to all; but, lecidediy, Sir Robert Peel's plan appears to give gene- I satisfaction, That wily statesman has taken great ins to win the hearts of the Irish, for, no doubt, his n purposes. At present, however, no opinion’ can e well formed on the different proposed measures— Ine party thinks one way, and another party anothei Heanwhile, however, the people are starving, and desti- tion prevails to a terrific extent; but if something 1s t soon done, emigration and death will soon depopu- te the land, Dr. Marshall, R.C, Archbishop of Tuam, has pub- shed a letter, detailing the miseries which the people if his diocese aro undergoing, and calling upon the pinistry to resign their trust into the hands of their jovereign. His Grace and Dr, Denrir, R. C. Bishop of Promore und Connor, have been spoken of as suc- fessors to the late Dr. Crolly in the Primacy; but re- ort now names Dr. Russell, one of the professors of aynooth College, as the probable new Primate, ‘The te Dr. Crolly's funeral was attended by several digni- ies of the Established Church and a numerous ctinuo of admirers of the late Archbishop, of all deno- pinations, ‘The Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police, Dub- , have just issued their statistical returns for last ear, an’ extract or two from which may not be un- lnteresting to the majority of your readers, ‘The gross mount taken into custody was 43.234. of which 26.322 ere females.

Our Paris Correspondence. Paris, April 19, 1849, The Bourse and Money Market. ‘Tho high prices to which the five per cents have o rapidly attained, appear to have put a stop to specu- tion, for business has been at a complete stand still his week. The bulls have made many attempts to pass pO, but this quotation has only been reached for ac- ount. Stock thrown on the market has always topped the ascensional movement, after 89.50. Stock ap constantly offered, so that speculators were com- led to keep near the cash pri It is, however, a markable fact, that the 5 per cents. after having tried ruitlessly to get beyond should not have pursued a ograde movement, and that there should have been much resistance to a decline below 89 as to a rise hove it, It follows, hence, that the fluctuations of the hole week have been confined within these limita, nd that prices have remained constantly looking to a ater fluctuation, which has not yet taken place. It not, however, probable, that such a state of things Il be prolonged | long after the end of the month, or t all events beyond the period when the results of the lections will be yey certainly anticipated. There is a strong body of bulls, but they cannot find specu- tors disposed to risk transactions, so that they will Hind it difficult to maintain prices until the settlement, stock continue to be offered It is supposed that the fholders of stock who have given a general order to sell 90 franos, would withdraw them if prices rose above 90, ith anything like a tendency to remain stationary, INothing, then, would prevent forcing up prices; at heast, this is the opinion of the bulls, and the principle on which they are acting. The difficulty now, there- ore. is to get the control of the market for cash, which is the obstacle to the rise. The fate of the settlement must depend on the issue of the struggle in which the buils are now engaged with the cash market. The difficulty of dealing with the 5 per cents., from this cause, has driven many speculators into the 3 per leents., the coupon of which will be detached in six weeks, and the rise would probably have been iproater, lon this latter stock, but for the probability of a new emission of 8 per cents, for the indemnity of the co- ionies. Bank Shares are stationary. Quotations have but Hittle changed since the last weekly balance sheet, which, however, was not very faverable. Discounts have again fallen, and, what is remarkable, is, that the jctvrent accounts have also diminished. This is more surprising. since the partial revival of commerce is now lan admitted fact; and, at this moment, there is much ge.ivity in many branches of industry. ‘As to other Securities, there is nothing worthy of note.

The plenipo- tentiaries subsequently occupied themselves with the means of execution, and with the part which each of the States should take therein, No definite solution was come to upto the departure of the packet boat. Our correspondent causes us to fear that the part taken by France has not responded to what the Pope itled to expect from the eldest daughter of the ers from Florence of the 10th inst., state that a French steamer from Gaeta had landed the secretary of the French legation at Rome at Civita Vecchia, anid that he had immediately left for the capital. He was said to be the bearer of ‘the ultimatum ot the foreign powers for the re-establishment of the Pope. It appears that 4 simultaneous movement has been arranged b tween the powers; the French were to occupy Ci Veechia and Ancona; the Austrians, Ferrara; the Neapolitans, the fronti: n the arrival of the steam- er from Gaeta, another steamer was immediately des- patched to Toulon, with orders, it was said, to embark the expeditionary force. Civita Vecchia was being fortified, Letters from Rome, of the 3d, state that a popular demonstration took place that day in favor of M. Maz- zini, in the course of which the general cry was “ Long live the Red Republic!” The Positive of Rome, of the 7th, states that the government of the republic has intercepted some im- portant correspondence coming from Gaeta, and directed to Civita Vecchia, discovering the plots for effecting the counter-revolution. Several arrests have been made in consequenee. A part of the by the government iaave arrived from Frane ainount of 9,600. The rest are shortly expected. Venice, In the sitting of the Venetian Assembly of the 2d, the following decree was passed:— ‘The Assembly of Representatives of the State of Venice, in the nanie of God and the people, unanimously decree as follows:— Venice shull resist the Austrian at every cost. For this purpose President Manin is invested with unlimit- ed powers,”? The War in S81 On the 5th ult., Catania was bombarded by the Nei politan squadron. The following morning a simultane- ous attack was made by sea and land. The Swiss, to the number of 2.500, led the van, and were supported by two regiments of cavalry, and followed by an army of 16,000, with forty pieces of cannon. Afier a brief but obstinate resistance, the Catanese were overpower- ed, and the troops of Ferdinand entered the city, which then became # real field of battle As the troops ad- vanced, the resistance became more obstinate. The assailants were fired on from windows, house-tops, and barricades. On the following morning, the greater part of the principal inhabitants and the garrison, abandon- ed the city and fled tothe mountains. Filangieri has given up the city to sack and fire, The soldiers were prowling about. plundering houses, violating women, and stabbing all who opneee them. Immediately the Neapolitan forces came in sight of Syracuse, the inha- bitants opened the gates, rang the bells, and shouted “Viva Ferdinando!” Yeates down the Sicilian color, and expressed an entire submission. Conditions will again be offered to the provisional government, and if rejected, Palermo will be plundered and burned. The Reaction at Florence. The French government received on Tuesday the fol- lowing telegraphic despatch, dated Marseilles, 16th inst., nine o'clock, A. M. :-— “THE DUINISTER OF FRAS ETO THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN aFrains, Fronexcr, April 12, “A reaction in fayor of the Grand Duke has taken place at Florence. The whole population pronounced with enthusiasm. M. Guerazzi is kept a prisoner in his house. The Assembly is dissolved. A deputation has proceeded to Gaeta,” ‘This news is doubtless prematage; it is not confirm- ed by later accounts, ‘The republican troops on the Neapolitan frontier are to be concentrated at Terni, under the orders of Gi Ferrari. They are said to amount to about 40,000 men. The War in Hungary—The Successes of the ungarians. The last news from Hungary is to the effect that mat- ters remain just as they were . ‘The Hungarian army have taken up positions on the Rakosh plain, under the walls of Pesth, and offered battle to the Aus- trians, who stand prepared to defend their possession of the Hungarian capital. Prince Windischgratz, warned by his late mishaps, has declined accepting the battle, and it is sinecrely hoped at Vienna that he will escape being forced to enter into an engagement. The left wing of his army, under special command, stands at Waitzen ; the centre, under General Schlick, is at Czinkota, a village on the road from Pesth to Godollo; and the right wing, under Baron Jellachich, extends acrors the railroad line towards Alberti and Czegled. ‘The heroic Ban was at one time given up as lost, and his reappearance has caused great joy at head quarters. ‘The Magyars have again taken Saint Tomas, which was last year so obstinately defended by the Servians. The Servian Patriarch has been ferced to fly from Beeskerek to Panesora, The command of the besieging army of Comorn, which has lately been in a state of mutiny, as most troops are when unsuccessful, has been entrusted to General Wohlgemuth, The Breslau Zeitung gives the following connected account of the late movements of the Austrian and Hungarian armies, It appears that the Imperial army, having received considerable reinforcements from Aus- tria Proper, took up its position eastward from Pesth, extending from Waitzen and Godollo to Hatraw and Cacgled. ‘The left wing was commanded by General Schlick, who took up his quarters at Waitzen, while the bulk of the army stood at Hatraw, commanded b Windischgratz, ands the right wing, under Baron Jei- lnchleh, occupied Czegled and the environs of that place. ‘The Magyar army, commanded by General Dem- binski, had ‘crossed the river Theiss, and advanced to within nine milesfrom Pesth. Dembinski first engaged the Ban of Croatia at Czegled, and enticed him from his post by the retreat of a lesser number of troops than the Ban had, and induced him to follow the flying Hungarians deeper into the country than he ought to have done. Baron Jellachich was thus cut off from the army of Prinee Windischgratz, and the only thing which he now can do is to proceed further to the south to assist the Servians, On the 4th of April the Hun- garians made a simultancous attack upon the Austrian eadquarters at Hatraw, and upon the left wing under General Schlick, The two armies tried their strength against each other in a pitched battle, and the combat lasted thewhole day. The Austrian centre was pressed back to the very walls of Pesth. As for the left wing of their army, ‘there are no positive accounts of how they fared, but it is not unlikely that they, too, shared the fate of Baron Jellachich—that they were deluded by a retreat of their enemies and cut off. The hopes which Prince Windischgratz has of them eannot be very sanguine, for the preparations which were making at Pesth on the Sth and 6th instant, show that no less than a general retreat to the right bank of the Danube is in contemplatiou, The Prince's orders to fortify the city of Buda against an attack from Pesth, are pe- remptory. The houses next the river and near the suspension bridge are being evacuated by the inhabi- tants and occupied by soldiers ; the windows of these houses have barricades of eand-sacks ; the steamers are constantly kept with their steam up, so that they may be ready to start at amoment’s notice; anda num- ber of wagons laden with military stores and wounded soldiers are continually crossing the suspension bridge. The Viennese are at present occupied by a rumor, and to all appearance a well founded one, of Count Sta- dion, one of the first men of the Austrian cabinet, hay- ing tendered his resignation, This step of the ‘noble Count was, it is stated. eaused by his disgust at the manner in which the Hungarian affairs are managed. In proportion as the dangers of the Hungarian war be- come more imminent, does public and official opinion in Austria condemn the policy which entrusted the command of the army to Prince Windischgratz, aud which, in spite of his reverses, continues to uphold him in his position. Kossuth is with the Magyar forces, All accounts agreo in asserting that the Magyar troops are very nu- merous, well armed and accoutred, and that they fight like fanatics. We have since received advices that Prince Win- disehgraty has resigned the supreme command in Hun- gary, and General Welden has succeeded him. ‘We have also received Vienna advices of the 15th ult., affording positive information of the occupation of the important position of Waitzen by the Hungarians. The details of this action, as given by the Ger papers. are to the effect, that Prince Wiadischgratz, at the head of his best regiments, opposed the progress of the Hungarians in the direction of Comorn, and that he Was backed by the corps of Gotz and Jablonowski. A fierce engagement ensued, in which the superior tactics of the Magyars proved irresistible. General Gotz and many of his officers fell while fighting in the streets of the city of Waitzen, The imperial troops were driven back and partly routed. The slege of Co- morn had been stopped in consequence, and part of the imperial army besieging that fortress has marched to ‘Waitzen to the rescue of General Ramberg, who still attempts to stop the progress of ‘the Magyars from Waitzen to Comorn. arrison of that fortress | meanwhile, made a sally upon the remaining Austrians, and carried off part of their heavy artillery. Such are the statements of the Austrian press, and of the cor- rerpondents of the German papers. If we are to believe them. there is nothing to prevent the Hungarian ge- nerel Georgey. from communicating with the garrison of Comorn; and, if the rumor prove true, of General Dembinski having crossed the Danube, and led his troops to Weisteuburg. nothing is left to the imperial- ists but to retire to Raab, for neither Pesth nor Buda can be held against a superior foree. ‘Lhe Hangarian revolution is becoming daily more nd more the base on which to build a Polish one; in ot, at this moment its leaders are almost as much olivh as Hongurian. It is reported that 20.000 Rus- tiane have entered Transylvania, and that 20,000 more are prepared to follow if necessary Important Decision of the Frankfort As- sembly. The Frankfort Na@tionul Assembly resumed its sit- tings on the 11th ulf. The pubhe tribunes and the ad- joir ing streets were Alled with anxious crowds, all cager to hear or learn the resolution to whieh the As- sembly rhould arrive, alter receiving the report of t deputation appolated to wait pn the King of Prussia, ‘Lhe following motion was eamied by a majority of 270 L169:—""That the German Ovnstituent National Aseembiy decksre eolomnly tothe nagion that it will unshekingly adhere to the constitution agreed to aod promulgated on the second reading, and also to the electoral law passed on the second reading; that it refer the report of the deputation to a committee of thirty members, to be chosen by the sections of the chambers. in order that a speedy report may be made respecting the measures necessary to be taken for carrying out the constitution?” This decision of the Assembly may be set down as the rejection of the claim set up by the respective princes of Germany for a suspending veto with regard to the constitution. At the conference of the German plenipotentiaries at Frankfort on the 14th ult., the central ministry express- ed their determination to uphold and promulgate the constitution as voted by the National Assembly. The plenipotentiaries of twenty-eight German fo venments agreed on and signed a reply to the Prussian note of the 4th of April, by which they and the govern- ments they represent assent to an unconditional ac- ceptance of the constitution of the German empire as voted by the parliament, and to the hereditary supre- mac: g conferred on the king of Prussia, The whole of the German States have thus agreed; the Ger- man kingdoms alone hold back. No one doubts at Frankfort but that the plenipotentiary of Saxony will soon sign the joint declaration of the German govern- ments. Several of the Austrian members of the National As- sembly have already left Frankfort, in obedience to the order of their government. The Progress of the Schleswig War, The Chamber of Commerce at Hamburg had pub- lished the following noti: cAgreeably to a notification from HL. B. M. Consul-Geueral o t ; the Commodore of the Danish navy in the North Sea, has given the official notice, that from sunrise of this day (12th April) the blockade of the Elbe, Weser, and has commenced; that neutral vessels, however, now Lyi the ports of ‘the blockaded rivers, after having aso tained their identity, may month; ax well as that, als: ai with the Royal British Mails shall pass, provided that only the post-office letter-bags and passengers are on board, Since the 8th ult., nothing of the least military im- portance had taken place in the Sundewitt. The Ger- man advanced Fao are at Nudel, where the Danes are in possession of the entrenchments, but their principal torces have retired to Alsen, The German troops and the Schleswig-Holsteiners are now on the Jutland frontier. Considerable rein- forcements of troops from the interior of Germany ue to pass through this city and Altona, for the nies. Hamburg letters and papers contain some further particulars of the engagement at Eckernforde, in which the loss of human life is asserted to have been very great, though no positive statement of the number of the Danes missing has come to hand. Of prisoners there are no less than 1,050 officers, sailors, and marines. Accounts from Copenhagen say that the Danish minis- try are deterined to use all available means in their power to make up for the Eckernforde disaster. Onthe 13th the important intrenchments on the Duppeler heights were stormed, From 43gh, to 91sh., A.M Germans played upon them with their light field-pieces ; the Danes replied both with heavy and light artillery. The Danish superiority in weight of metal exposed our troops to considerable loss. About 10 A. M., two columns of Bayarians and Saxons were formed to assault the heights. They moved rapidly and steadily up the steepand broken axcent, the summit of which was crowned with breastworks and cannon. Notwithstanding the incessant firing made lanes through their ranks, they carried their point. A xumber of prisoners were made, and the captured cannon were turned against the cnemy’s ships in the Bay of Alsen, and their intrenchments on the island... The retreat of the Danes was effected in utter disorder. The Dau and their conquerors rolled in one confused mass wards the bridge of boats which connects Alsen with the main. To prevent Alsen being also carried by storm, the Danes fired upon their own troops. This occasioned the taking of a greater number of prisoners by the victors, but added considerably to the loss by killed and wounded on both sides. When we take into accourt that the combined German and Schleswig-Holstein troops did not execed 45,000 men, and the Danes posted in the strong position on the Dappeler heights number- ed 40,000, the affair must be admitted to be highly creditable to the former General Bonin, who is further north with 20,000 Schleswig-Holsteiners, endeavored, but in vain, two successive days to induce the Danes to give him battle near Kolding. Affairs in Pru: The first distinct answer to-the requisition issued by Prussia to the governments of Germany has been given by Austria, It is a total refusal to join in the confe- rence of states asked for by Prussia, and @ denial of the right of the Frankfort Assembly to elect an emperor at all; and it declares that that body, having contempla- ted its task of drawing up the scheme of a censtitution, has, at last, openly declared. ‘The answers of the other large powers are still waited for. ‘The tone of the various German journals is gloomy anddesponding. They consider the refusal of the king as fatal to the best form of the German unity, and fear that it will give an impulse to the democratic movement. ‘The position of the King of Prussia is unparalleled. If he holds firm to his refusal of an imperial crown, he is menaced with a republic. The government have seized another occasion to evince their anti-German policy. They have refused to recognise a deputation of the Schleswig-Holstein Assembly, who arrived at Berlin to express the satis- faction of the Duchies at the imperial election having fallen on the King of Prussia, After the delegates from Schleswig hud waited a couple of days for an answer from Count Arnim to their application for an audience with his Majesty. they were told by the minister of Forelgn Affaire that the king could not receive the deputation as such, but would be happy to give them audience as private individuals, and see them at dinner. The deputation wrote at once in answer to Count Arnim declining to divest themselves of their official character by being presented to the King in a private capacity ; and left Berlin to return to Schleswig. The central committee has decided by a majority of four against three in favor of Waldeck’s motion for the suspension of the state of siege. Turkey and Russia. The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from Jassy, of the 26th of March, which states that the relations be- tween the Russians and the Turks were becoming every day more hostile, The Turks appeared to expect a war, According to a letter from Constantinople, in the Augsburg Gazette, the populations of Turkey were pre- senting themselves to the recruiting officers with unac- customed zeal, their being districts which offered to supply double the contingent demanded. At Bucharest there were almost every day collisions between the Rus- sian and Turkish soldiers, and the animosity even ex- tended to the superior officers. Onthe other hand, the Russians were arming with vigor, Their forces in the Danubian principalities amount to 97,000 men, and a Vienna journal says that the Russian minister had de- manded from the Porte that the period fixed for the eva- cuation of the principalities by the Russians should be prorogued to the Ist of May, A ukase of the Emperor of Russia, dated the 31st of March, orders the ordinary levy of troops for 1849 in the western government. ‘The operation is to be ter- minated by 13th June, Eight men are to be taken in every 1,000 inhabitants. The ukase says that the Emperor has resolved, on account of present circum- stances, to maintain a large portion of the army on a war footing. Affairs in Egypt—Insult to Am It. is stated from Alexandria, under di April, that Abbas Pacha has given some hopes that when the barrage of the Nile and other great works at present in course of construction are completed, he will think of the railroad between Cairo and Suez; but French influence is still active against it, The Vice- roy’s finances are ina very low state, and the pay of the troops is more than twelve months in arrear, Swarms of locusts have made thelr appearance in some parts of the upper country and the Delta; but the reater portion of the crops being ripe, not much lamage ix feared. In the upper country, however, there is a scarcity of grain. The United States frigate Constitution had sailed for Malta, and tho native soldiers and water-carriers who had insulted the boat's crew were still unpunished, notwithstanding the re- monstrances of the American Consul. In consequence of the last advices from England, crops had fallen. Stocks were getting short, but the new produce would soon come in. Freight’ were unprecedentedly low. The exchange on London was 98} piastres per pound sterling. Affairs in India—The Victory of Goojerat. Despatches in advance of the overland mail, which left Bombay on the 17th, have been received by expres from Marseilles, They contain full particulars of t) decisive victory achieved over the Sikhs on the 21st of February last, a brief announcement of which arrived by the last mail. On this occasion, no doubt can be en- tertained of the decisive character of the success, the enemy having been completely routed, with the loss of his guns, ammunition, and camp equipage. Lord Gough's army, which amounted to nearly 25,000 men, with 100 guns, encamped on the 20th, in order of battle, within four miles of the enemy, whose force was estimated at 60,000 men, with 60 guns. They occupied the ground around the village of Goojerat, in a position as well chosen as the nature of the country permitted. The British army moved to the attack early on the morning of the 21st, in a line nearly three milles from right to left, The action began with a heavy cannon- ade, in which the artillery did such execution, that the enemy's guns were speedily silenced. The infantry then advanced. driving the Sikhs before them in the utmost confusion. The cavalry division was sent in pur- suit, and hung upon the rear of the flying enemy until night prevented further operations. Of the 6) guns which the Sikhs brought into action, 53 were captured, ) Ub an enormous amount of ammunition; and the rest have, doubtless, been since taken by the corps detached in pursuit. The Britisharmy has tolament five officers and 92 men killed, and 24 officers and 682 men wounded. On the day after the action. General Gilbert, with a foree of 12.000 men, w: patched towards the Jhelum, to seize and occupy Rhotas, Attock, Peshawur, and the whole frontier, up to the passes of Affghanistan He crossed the Jhelum on the 26th, and took posession of the town of that name, with some mortars and am- munition which had been abandoned by the retreating aimy on that day. ‘Lhe advices from General Gilbert's corps reached to the 2d of March, at which date they had been compelled to halt on their advance to Rhotas by the extreme inelemency of the weather, A report had, however, been received, that he had taken posses. f Rhotas, » principal objects of the campaign being thus achieved it was expeeted that the main army, under Lord Gough, would coop retire into quarters, ‘The advices trom the Commander-in-Chief's camp are to the tid of March, on which day Lord Gough viewed and inspected the whole of the tg Per- mission to return to their appointments had been already given fo several stai-oilicers, There seems, S indeed, every reason to believe that the Sikh chiefs, who have twice sent Major Lawrence to treat for them. will submit to the only terms which have been cenceded to them—an unconditional surrender, India generally was tranquil and contented. Seinde was free from any apprehension either of rebellion or foreign attack, and the garrison left at Mooltan re- mained unmolested, It was said that Lord Gough had sent in his resig- nation, No decision had, it was understood, been arrived at as to the annexation of the Punjaub. Labua) Advices from this colony extend to the 25th of Feb- ruary. Much of the sickness had abated, and the pre- vailing ague had not assumed a serious type. It would appear that Sir James Brooke had discoverad that La- buan was-eminently adapted for a naval depot, but not suited for a coleny, as trade could not be forced Into this channel, but followed its old course to Singapore or Macassar. Tho French Republic—The Flight of Several Socialists, The calculations of the Monarchical party are that not less than 600 partisans of the Monarchy. including in that term Legitimists, Orleanists, aad Bonapartists, are likely to be returned to the legislative chamber; and of the Republican party only 150. ‘The Socialists, who will very probably be confined to Paris, or nearly 80, declare they will return 18 members out of the 23 that represent the capital Much sensation was excited in Paris on Sunday, and continued the whole of the day, in consequence of some person or persons haying the night previous cut down the tree of liberty in the Place de la Croix Rouge, where six streets mevt. The tree was Completely sawed through at the root, and lay on theground, ‘The police made the most active exertions to discover the person who did the act, butin vain, ‘The only reparation that could be made under the circumstances was made, namely, the planting of another tree, by order of the mayor, on the same spot.and decorating it with immor- telles and tri-colored ribbons. Information was received ‘hat an émeute had been calculated on in consequence; but bodies ef police had been from an early hout sta- tioned in every part of the quarter to suppress the first attempt that might be made, and nothing occurred. A hostile mecting took place on the 14th, at 5 in the evening, between M, Ledru-Rollin and M. Deujoy, near the Pont de Neuilly. The parties were placed at twenty paces distance, M. Ledru-Rollin fired, but the pistol of M. Deujoy hung fire. The seconds then interposed, The National announces that the Garde Mobile has again been reduced from twelve battalions to six. M. Duchén he editor of the journal Le Peuple, was convicted by default before the court of assizes of Paris on Friday, of having published several seditious libels, on the Sth. 6th, and 11th of March, calculated to excite hatred and contempt against the government of the republic. He was sentenced to five years’ imprison- ment, and to pay a fine of 6,000f. ‘he moment his sentence of imprisonment and fine was about to be confirmed in the superior court, it was intimated to him that the avenues’of the Palais de Justice were filled with policemen, who were waiting to arrest him in_ virtue of his previous condemnation for a similar offence, as it was for a second one that he has been just tried. His advocate proved a friend to him to the last ; forhe lent him his cap and gown, and in this costume Duchéne proceeded unconcernedly through the of the police and sérgents de ville, Who, instead of recognising the eriminal they were waiting to seize, respectfully made way for the presumed advocate, D éhas not been heard of since; and it is sup- posed he ix gone to Belgium, M. Raspail, the nephew of the Bourges convict, who administered such a coup de poing to M. Point in the National Assembly the other day, has also fled. Of his conviction before the police correctionnelle there could not have been the slightest doubt, as it was evident the outrage had been inflicted on account of the important evidence given by M. Point during the Bourges trial, and which led to the conviction of Raspail oncle. The maximum penalty for an assault on such grounds is five years’ imprisonment, When the huissier went to his lodgings to serve a warrant, he was informed that “M, Raspail had gone on an excursion for some days.” M. Proudhon has addressed from his place of retreat, aletter, in which he resigns the directorship of the Bank of the People, in consequence of hhis recent, con- demnation by the ‘court of assizes. The legal and peaceful revolution he contemplated in society by means of that institution would, he is afraid, require ten years. He, however, hopes’ to invent some more expeditious plan. He then recommends his adherents not to resort to any other arms than those of diseus- sion. “ No émeutes,’” he cries, “ no clubs, no ban- quets; the press alone, and then the ballot.” Accord- ing to the statutes, the bank was not to commence operations until the capital should amount to 50,000 francs. The shares paid up on the 8th instant only produced 17,993 francs, and the expenses are 8,147 franes, Appended to M, Proudhon’s letter is a decla- ration signed by his partners, announcing their inten- tion to continue his undertaking, which they place under the patronage ot the democratic and socialist party. Seals have been affixed, by order of the anthor- ties, on the offices of M. Proudhon’s bank; and several charges of fraud are to be brought against M. Proud- hon before the police correctionnelle. for he has de- ducted from the money raised for his bank nearly one- half for expenses, which by law he alone is bound to bear, that company not having been constituted. M. Proudhon has addressed a letter of seven col the Peuple, to vindicate himself against the charge having embezzled f 8,000 of the f 17.000 subscribed to wards the cstabli-liment of the Bank of the People. He then proceeds to explain the principle on which that bank was to operate; and to praclaim its success infallible, if he were not pursued by the hatred of M, Leon Faucher, and the indefutigable persecution of the government. M. Delécluze, editor of La République Démocratique et Sociale, is said to have also fied. He was Ledru Rollin’s famous commissary, and it was he who organized the expedition to Risquons-Tout. The Moniteur contains a cireular from the Minister of Public Instruction to the directors of academies, re- menstrating against the introduction of extraneous, meaning thereby political, topics, during the confe- rences that have been instituted tor the purpose of en- lightening each other in their professional duties, The Minister of the Interior bas addressed a circular to the prefects, recommending them to exercise much caution with respect to the placards affixed on the wails in the towns. and that they shall prevent all such as have reference to political events, with the exception of those sanctioned by authority. ‘The object is to pre- vent in the approaching elections the scandalous abuses committed last April and May. ‘rhe British Diplomatic Mediation, In the House of Commons, on the 19th ult., Mr, D’Israrti wished to make an inquiry respecting the three mediations which, before the Easter recess, her Majesty's government announced they had under- taken, but which, after the Easter recess, had assumed the form of th s. (Alaugh.) He wished to nment were prepared to lay on ht explain this gove b documents which strange metamorphosis (a laugh), a her, and when, the house might expect to receive those Sicilian parets: which ought already to be in the hands of mem- ers? He wished to inquire, secondly, whether there was any objection to lay on the table, as soon as pos- sible, all the papers relative to the affairs of Denmark and the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein; and, third- ly, whether there was any objection to lay on the table the'records of the Congress of Brussels, (A Inagh.) Lord J. Russext.—With respect to the three ques- tions put by the hon. gentleman, I have to state, first, with regard to Sicily, that the mediation between the King of the Two Sicilies and the Sicilians has come to an end, and that the papers connected with this subject are now preparing, and will be laid on the table of this house ina few days. With regard to the second sub- ject mentioned by the hon. gentleman, the negotiations with Denmark and the German Empire, may stato that, as communications are still going on, both with Denmark and the German Courts, it ix not advisable to on the table the papers relative to that negotiation at the present moment. With regard to the third ques- tion, the hon, member is, of course, fully aware that the Ausirian plenipotentiary was never named, Although it was promised several months, that promise was never alfilled. THE MISLAID DANISH DESPATCH. Mr. Heme wished to know whether the correct which generally prevailed, to the messenger arrived on the 26th March from Co with a despatch of importance for the noble lord the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, which despatch, it was alleged, remained unanswered and unattended to until too late to prevent the hostilities which afterward took place? He would put this question to-morrow if the noble lord preferred to bave notice of it, but he thoug’ the question was one that ought to be put, in order that the house might know whether any blame attached to the noble lord or not in respect to the rumor, (Wear, hear.) Lord Parmenstox.—I may as well answer the ques- tion now as to-morrow, The facts are these:—After the Danish government announced the armistice, com- munications took place between Her Majesty's govern- ment and the two parties to the dispute, with a view to endeavoring to see whether it was not still possible to bring about a friendly understanding, and { Proponed, on the 13th of March, a protocol to these parties, in the hope that they might be brought to agree to it. On the 26th of Mareli the Danish Minister received from his court an amended version of this instrument, to whieh the Danish government said they agreed, but they re- quired that the consent of the German Plenipotentiary should be immediately given to that instrument in the form in whieh they sent it, and they also desired that it ahewbd be sent buck to thein before the 29th of March, In order that they might know whether they were to begin hostilities again, as they had announeed, on the 2d of April, The f the Danish Minister, communi- cating this to me. was sent on the 26th of March; it was not made in the usual official way, and it was, by accident. mislaid; and it was not uutil Thursday, the 20th of March, instead of Tuesday, the 27th, that | was able to communicate the contents to the Prussian Minister, who was the representative of the central power. Butthe proposal was one which it was quite Cut of the power of chat representative to accede to, and it was perfectly immaterial with respect to the re- sult, whether the communication were made to him on the Tuerday or on the Thursday. The proposal was one Which it was quite inconsistent with his instrue- tions to accept, aud therefore his answer would have been the same on one day as it would have been on the other, namely, that he oould not agree to it, RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Mr. C, Anetey.--Had the noble lord any information trom Constantinople relative to the alleged demand by Kusria upon the Forte as to the removal of all Curkish troops from Moldavia and Wallachia, under the threat that if the demand were not complied with the Russian Minister would apply for his passport ? Lord Paumenstow said, that he was warranted in stat- ing that there had not been any such communication; and there was every reason to believe the report un- founded. He had only further to add, that the pre- sence of Turkish troops in Moldavia had been invited by Russia, and that a military officer of great eminence General Grave, (as we understood.) had been sent t St. Petersburg to Constantinople, for the purpose of fecting an arrangement having that object in view. md Messrs, Barings’ Circular. Loxvow, Friday, April 20, 1849 We have no improvement to notice in markets since our last advices of 18th inst., the continued disturbed state of the continent exercising a depressing influence | on all commercial transactions, and rendering sales of produce extremely difficult, unless at such conces- sions in price as holders for the most part are unwil- ling to submit to, The business done, therefore, has been very limited, as the following remarks will show, and confined almost exclusively to the home trade. In | the manufacturing districts, a similur state of things exists; as regards cotton, the great depression being in yarns, which are now nearly as low as in the early part of 1848, You will receive, by this opportunity, the overland letters, with dates from Canton to the 28th of February, Calcutta 8th of March, and Bombay 17th of March, No alteration in the money market.
