NO. 5449. UROPEAN INTELLIGENCE, BROUGHT BY THE STEAMSHIP AMERICA, &e. &e. Ke. Our Dublin Correspondence. Dvatix, 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 lou the pleasing and joyfal intelligence of the disagree- Lent of Mr. Dufly’s jury, and his release. The Ame- ican people, I am sure, will hail this news with much tisfaction, and that Mr. Duffy has aguim, for the third ter being tried thrice by a jury of his country- pen—escaped the fangs of the Attorney General and js 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 ying that clemency should be shown to the prisoner r all the perseeution he had sustained, You will ce that six of the jury were for a verdict of acquittal, nd 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 fare of; for it is stated that the Attorney General has ceived instructions not to proceed any further. Mr. Duily has been suffering from indisposition since is release, and is at present ona visit to his brother- p-law, Dr. Callan, of Baggot street, It is now confi- lently hoped that the convicted State prisoners hessrs. O'Brien, Meagher, &c., will not be pressed on weit of error, but that government will relax a eat deal of that rigor and severity'which have cha- eterised all their State prosecutions. The violent state of excitement which bas 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 easure into @ law, but intend abandoning it, and, in fs stead, propose an income tax—which, I need not Il you, Will create as great an uproar, as poor Paddy lonsiders he has enough of taxes already to pay, with fut maulcting him with more. How the present state f things will end, appears to be a mystery to all; but, lecidedly, Sir Robert Peel's plan appears to give gene. 1 satisfaction, That wily statesman has taken great ins to win the hearts of the Irish, for, no doubt, his wn purposes. At present, however, no opinion can e well formed on the different proposed measures—~ Ine party thinks one way, and another party another. 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 his diocese are undergoing, and calling upon the pinistry to resign their trust into the hands of their lovereign. 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 Haynooth College, as the probable new Primate, ‘The te Dr. Crofly's funeral was attended by several digni- es of. the Established Church and a numerous fetinue of admirers of the late Archbishop, of all deno- pinations. ‘The Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police, Dub- i, 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 exhibition was bn a very large scale, the laxgest, indeed, of any which has been hitherto, {tis pleasing to state that it is the bpinion of the judges that good breeding and judicious reatment, in most cases, distinguished the different breeds, the specimens of which displayed first rate ex- ellenee, and an improvement is discernible since tho broceding exhibition, By a return of the Irish Board bf Work, the sum applied for by the land proprietors to be expended under tke land improvement act, from 029 individuals, is £3,051,825 10s, 7d.; of ‘these, 7 applications have been granted, amounting to 1,476,480. It is gratifying in the extreme to learn from accounts eceived that the present crops are better, and display uch better management than heretofore ; conse- huently great hopes are entertained of the har- est, as an abundant return would go far towards toring the pow exhausted means of the country. rhe breadth of potato planted is very great; false ac- ounts have been propagated, stating that the blight had actually appeared; but it has since become known hat no foundation whatever existed for the report. Our Paris Correspondence. Panis, April 19, 1849. ‘The Bourse and Money Market, Tho high prices to which the five per cents have ho 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 80.50. Stock ap constantly offered, so that speculators were com- led to keep near the cash prices. It is, however, a markable fact, that the 5 per cents. after having tried uitlessly to get beyond 90, should not have pursued a rograde movement, and that there should have been much resistance to a decline below 89 as to a rise ove it, It follows, hence, that the fluctuations of the hole week have been confined within these limits, nd that prices have remained constantly looking to a reater fluctuation, which has not yet taken place. It 8 not, however, probable, that such a state of things 11 be prolonged long after the end of the month. or t allevents beyond the period when the results of the lections will be pretty certainly anticipated. There js a strong body of bulis, but they cannot find specu- tors disposed to risk transactions, so that they will Hfind it difficult to maintain prices until the settlement, stock continue to be offered It is supposed that the holders of stock who have given a general order to sell t 90 francs, would withdraw them if prices rose above 90, ith anything like a tendency to remain stationary, INothing, then, would prevent forcing up prices; at east, this is the opinion of the bulls. and the principle on which they are acting. The difficulty now, there- Hore, is to get the control of the market for cash, which the obstacle to the rise. The fate of the settlement imust depend on the issue of the struggle in which the pulls are now engaged with the cash market. The difficulty of dealing with the 6 per cents., from this cause, has driven many speculators into the 3 per the coupon of which will be detached in six weeks, and the rise would probably have been greater, lon this latter stock, but for the probability of a new emission of 3 per cents, for the indemnity of the co- onies. Bank Shares are stationary, Quotations have but ttle changed since the last weekly balance sheet, which, however, was not very faverable. Discounts have again fallen, and, what is remarkab) that the leftvrent accounts have also diminished. This is more surprising. since the partial revival of commerce is now an admitted fact; and, at this moment, there is much jaecivity in many branches of industry, ‘As to other Securities, there is nothing worthy of note.

If one invermation be ‘act, the representatives of the Vatholie powers firet examined if the re-establishment of the sovereign Pon- ed news from in his States could not be effected by pacifie means; but this, as the reader will divine, was decided in the negative. ‘The armed intervention of the powers from which Pius LX. has demanded assistance has been re- cognised as indispensable and urgent. The plenip: tentiaries subsequently occupied themselves with the means of ¢ tion, 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 tak y France has not responded to what the Pope = e 7 ited to expect from the eldest daughter of the chureh. Letters from Florence of the 10th inst., state that a French steamer from Gacta had landed the secretary of the French legation at Rome at Civita Vecchia, and that he had immediately left for the capital. He was said to be the bearer of the ultimatum of the foreign powers for the re-establishment of the Pope. It appears that a simultaneous movement has been arranged by tween the powers; re i Vecchia and Ancona; the Neapolitans, the frontier, On 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 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 Positivo of Rom i Ferrara; the of the 7th, states that the government of the republic has intercepted some im- portant correspondence coming from Gucta, and directed to Civita Vecchia, discovering the plots for effecting the counter-revolution, Several arrests have been mai consequenee. A part of the muskets sent by the government have arrived from F . to the ainount of 9,500. ‘The rest are shortly expecte Ventee, In the sitting of the Venetian the following decree was passe ‘The Assembly of Representatives of the State of Venice, in the name 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 Sicily—Surrender of Cata i Syracuse, On the 5th ult., Catania was bombarded by the Nea- 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. After a brief but obstinate resistance, the Catanese were overpower- ed, and the troops of Ferdinand entered the city, which then became a real field of battle As the roops 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 to the mountains, Filangieri has given up the city to suck and fire. The soldiers were prowling about, plundering houses, violating women, and stabbing all who oppose them.’ Immediately the Neapolitan forces came in sight of Syracuse, the inha- bitants opened the gates, rang the bells, and shouted “Viva Ferdinando!” pulled down the Sicilian color, and expressed an entire submission. ‘Conditions all 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 Marscilles, 16th inst., nine o'clock, A. M. “THE MINISTER OF FRAN ssembly of the 2d, ETO THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN aFrains. Fronexcr, April 12, “A reaction in favor of the Grand Duke has tuken 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 Gen. 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 before. 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 p1 .d to defend their possession of the Hungarian capital. Prince Windischgratz, warned by his late mishaps, has declined accepting the battle, and it is sincerely 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 across 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 Pat ch 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 Posth, extending from Waitzen and Godollo to Hatraw an Cregled. “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, and-the right wing, under Baron Jel- lachieh, occupied Cxegled und the environs of that place. The Magyar army, commanded by General Dem- binaki, 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 port 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 Prince 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- rians 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 cach other in a pitched battle, and the combat lasted the whole day. The Austriancentre was pressed back to the very walis 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 5th and 6th instant, show that no less than a general retreat to the right bank of the Danube is in contemplation, ‘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 fuspension bridge are being evacuated by the inhabi- tants and occupied by soldiers ; the windows of these houses have barricades of sand-sacks ; the steamers are constantly kept with their steam up, #0 that they may be ready to start at amoment’s nbtice; 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, ha 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 bo- come more imminent, does public and official opinion in Austria condemn the policy which entrusted the command of the army to Prince Windischgratz, and which, in spite of his reverses, continues to uphold him in his position. Kossuth is with the Magyar forces. All accounts agree 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- dischgratz, 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 German papers. are to the effect, that Prince Windischgraty, at the head of his best regiments, oppored the progress of the Hungarians in the direction of Comorn, and that he Was backed by the corps of Gotz and Jablonowski. Afierce 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. ‘The garrison of that fortress has, 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 hem. there is nothing to prevent the Hungarian ge- y. 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 jand more the bare on which to build a Polish one; in ) fact, at Unie moment its leaders are almost as much Polish as Hongarian. [tis reported that 000 Rite- tiene have entered Transylvania. and that 20,000 more are prepared to follow if necessary Important Decision of the Frankfort As- sembly. ‘The Frankfort National Assembly resumed its sit- tings om the 11th ult The publ tribunes and the ad- Joining streets filled with anxious crowds, all cager to hear or learn the resolution to which the Av. sembly should arrive, after receiving the report of the ation appointed to watt on the King of Prussia, The following motion was eared by a majority of 276 Lo 169:—""That the German Ovnstituent National Asembiy declare volomnly tothe nagion that it will unshakingly adhere to the constitutio® agreed to aod MORNING 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 t necessary to be taken for carrying out the constitution > This decision of the Assembly ma 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 exp ed their determination to uphold and promulgate the constitution as yoted by the National Assembly. The plenipotentiaries of twenty-eight German go- 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. macy being conferred on the king of Prussi 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 goyern- 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 notice: — bly to a notification from IL B. M. Consul-G. the Commodore of the Danish navy in the «given the official notice, that from sunrise of this th April) the blockade of the Elbe, Weser, and Jahde has commenced; that neutral vessels, however, now lying in the blockaded rivers, after having’ ascer dentity, may pass nntil sunset of the 9th of this ell as that, also, after that date, the steamers 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 posts 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 continue to pass through this city and Altona, for the Duchies. 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 mini try are deterined to use all available means in their power to make up for the Eckernforde disaster. Jnthe 13th the important intrenchments on the Duppeler heights were stormed, From 44sh. to 04;h., A.M.,the Germans pla; on them with their light ficld-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 Bavarians and Saxons were formed to assault the heights. They moved rapidl, and steadily up the steep and broken ascent, 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 mude, and the captu hon were turned against the cnemy’sships in the Bay of Alsen, and their intrenchments on the island.. The retreat of the Danes was effected in utter disorder. The Danes and their conquerors rolled in one confused mass to- 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 8chleswig-Holstein troops did not exceed 45.000 men, and the Danes posted in the strong position on the Duppeler 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 Prussia. The first distinct answer to the requisition issued by Prussia to the governments of Germany has been given by Austria, It ix a total refusal to join in the confe- rence of states asked for by Prussia, and a 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 constitution, 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 and desponding. 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 had 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 Foreign 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. he 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 beeoming every duy more hostile. The Turks appeared to expect a w ar. ‘According to a letter from Constantinople, in the Augsburg Gazette, the populations of Turkey were pro- senting themeclyes 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 Vienna journal says that the Russian minister had d manded from the Porte that the period fixed for the ev: 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 ona war footing. Affairs in Egypt—Insult to Americans. It is stated from Alexandria, under date the 7th of April, that Abbas Pachs 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 their sppearance 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, theres a scarcity of grain. The United States frigate Constitution had sailed for Malta, and the 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. Freights were unprecedentedly low. The exchange on London was 98!4 piastres per pound sterling. Affairs In India—The Victory of Goojerat. e of the overland mail, which left Bombay on the 17th, have been received by express from Marseilles. They contain full particulars of the 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 00 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 @ line nearly three miles 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, ) th an enormous amount of ammunition; and the rest have, doubtless, been since taken by the corps detached in pursuit. The Briti*harmy has to lament 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, was despatched towards the Jhelum, to seize and occupy Rhotas, Attock, Peshawur, and the whole frontier. up to the passes of Affghanixtan He crossed the Jhelum on the 25th, and took posession of the town of that name, with some mortars and am- munition which had been abandoned by the retreating army on that day, ‘The 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 inclemency of the weather. A report had, however, been received, that he had taken posses- sion of Rhotas, The ptineipal objects of the campaign being thus achieved. It was expreted that the main army, under Lord Gough, would toon retire into quarters, ‘The advices trom the Commander-in-Chief's camp are to the Sd of March. on whieh day Lord Gough viewed and inepeeted the whole of the sens, Por- mission to return to their appointments had been already given so several rtad-oilicers, There seems, 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, Labuan, Advices from this colony extend to the 26th of Feb- Tuary, 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. The 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, aud Bonapartists, are likely to be returned to the legislative chamber; and of the Republican party only 160. ‘The Socialists, who will very probably be confined to Paris, or nearly so, declare they will return 18 members out of the 28 thut 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 having the night previous cut down Place de la Croix Rouge, where The tree was Completely sawed d lay on the ground, ‘The police ortions 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 ing, between M. Ledru-Rollin and M, Deujoy, near the Pont de Neuilly. Tho 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. Duchéne, the 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 ears’ imprison- ment, and to pay a fine of 6,000f. ‘The 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 M. Duchéne proceeded unconcernedly through the files 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, Duchene has not been heard of since ; and it is sup- posed he is 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 heen 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 a letter, in which he resigns the directorship of thi Bank of the Peoplo, in consequence of luis 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. Ho then recomniends his adhere not to resort to any other arma than those of diseu 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 pald up on the Sth instant only produced 17,993 francs, and the expenses are 8,147 francs, 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 of 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 columns to the Peuple, to vindicate himself against the charge of having embezzled f 8,000 of the f 17.000 subscribed to wards the cstabli-lment of the Bank of the People. He then proceeds to explain the principle on which that bunk was to operate; and to praclaim its success infullible, if he were not pursued by the hatred of M, m Faucher, and the indefatigable persecution of government. Delécluze, editor of La République Dimocratique et Sociale, is said to have also fled. He was Ledru Rollin’s famous commissary, and it was be who organized the expedition to Risquons-Tout. The Moniteur contains a circular from the Minister of Public Instruction to the directors of academies, re- monstrating against the introduction of extraneous, meaning thereby political, topics, during the confe- renees that have been instituted for the purpose of en- lightening cach other in their professional duties, The Minister of the Interior has addressed a circular to the prefects, recommending them to exerci#® 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 vent in the approaching eléctions the scandalous abuses committed last April and May. ‘The British Diplomatic Mediation. In the House of Commons, on the 19th ult., Mr, D’Iskarii wished to make an inquiry respecting the three mediations which, before the Easter recess, her Majesty's government announced they bad under: taken, but which, after the Easter recess, had assumed the form of three blockades. (A laugh.) ' He wished to know whether the government were prepared to lay on the table any documents which might explain this strange metamorphosis (a laugh), and whether, and when, the house might expect to receive those Sicilian papers, 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 Inugh.) 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, I may state that, as communications are still going on, both with Denmark and the German Courts, it is not advisable to lay 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 nained, Although it was promised several months, that promise was never fulfilled. the tree of liberty in thi i streets meet. THE MISLAID DANISH DESPATCH. Mr. Hume wished to know whether the rumor wa correct which generally prevailed, to the effect: that a messenger arrived on the 26th March from Copenhagen, 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 ? He would uestion to-morrow if the lord pre notice of it, but he thoug’: nobl the question was one that ought to be put, in order that to (dear, the house might know whether any blame attac! the noble lord or not in respect to the rumor, hear.) Lord Pauwenstox.—I may as well answer the ques- tion now as to-morrow, The facts are these:—After the Danish government announced the armistice, co munications took place between Her Majesty's gover 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 | proposed, 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 Mareh the Danish Minister received from his court an amended version of this instrument, to which the Danish government said they agreed, but they re- ed that the consent of the German Plenipotentiary mediately given to that instrument in the chich they sent it, and they also desired that yabd be sent buck to thean before the 20th 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 note of 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, mirlaid; and it was not uutil Thursday, th 20th of March, instead of Tuesday, the 27th, that I was able to communicate the contents to the Prussian Minister, who was the representative of the central power, But the proposal was one which it was quite cut of the power of chat representative to acoede to, and it was perfectly immaterial with respeet to the re- sult, whether the commupication were niade to him on the Tucrday or on the Thur The proposal was one which tt was quite inconsistent with his instruc. tions to aceept, and therefore his answer would have been the same on one day as it would have been on the other, namely, that he oould not @gree to it, RUSSIA AND TURKEY. Mr. ©, Anerey.—Had the noble lord any information from Constantinople relative to the alleged demand bi Kuskia upon the Korte as to the removal of all Curkish troops from Moldavia and Wallachia, wader the threat that if the demand were not complied with the Russian Minister would apply for his passport ? Lord Patatenstow said, that he was warranted { ing that there had not been any such communi a; and there was every reason to believe the report uns 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 trom St. Petersburg to Constantinople, for the purpose of ef- fecting an arrangement having that object in view Messrs. Barings’ Circular. Loxpon, Friday, April 20, 1949. We have no improvement to notice in markets since | our last advices of 13th 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 euch 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 similar 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.
