THE NEW YORK HERALD. = NO. 5494. — MORNING EDITION----THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 1849. THE EUROPEAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE AMERICA’S MAILS, The Details of the Intelligence. THE VERY LATEST, &e. &e. &e. The steamship America arrived at Boston early yesterday morning, making the passage from Li- verpool in less than eleven days. The mails left Boston at 7 o’clock in the morn- ing, in the New Haven train, and reached this eity at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon—nine heurs from Boston to New York. This 1s excellent time. The details of the news is interesting. The message of the President of the French Republic we give in full. ‘The quotations of American Stocks will be found under the proper head. Our Liverpool Correspondence. Liverroor, June 9, 1849, The Weather and the Cholera—Ths Disease on board the American Eagle—Arrival of the Hibernia and Was! ington—The Reception of Macready at Home, ‘The weather during the week has been lovely, and most seasonable—in fact, we have summer at last. The health of this town, and of the country generally, how- ever, has not improved; and | regret to say the cholera is reported us greatly on the increase in svveral towns At Plymouth, especially, there has been a good deal of consternation engendered, by the arrival there, on ‘Tuesday last, of the Americun packet ship “ Americn Eagle,” from London and Portsmouth, with three hun- dred emigrants, amongst whom the cholera made i appearance the same evening that she reached that port. Nineteen deaths are reported to have taken place amongst tne passengers and ship's company At Dun- dee, too, out of twenty-four cases of cholera, fourteen deaths are reported. On Monday evening, at ten minutes past nineo'clock, the “Hibernia” fired her first gun in the Mersey, hay- ing made the run home in twelve days and eight hours. ‘The * Washington,” although she did very well, was not quite go fortunate. She reached Southampton on ‘Tuesday afternoon. On Mr. Macready’s landing, there was not the slight- ets attempt made to get upa “ demonstration,” nor did he perform in Liverpool. On the passage home, ho lived quite retired—dined alone, and spoke very little to any one, He appeared a good deal affeeted, I am told, by the disastrous affair that so recently occurred in New York, Our Paris Correspondence, Panis, June 7, 1849. The New French Ministry—Cabinet Councils—The Ro- man Republic—Arrest of Proudhon, the Socialisti—The President’s Message, $c. $c. On the day of the date of my last letter, an auda- cious, but at the samo time a successful, trick was practised at the Bourse. An affiche was published, printed on white paper, the exclusive use of which is confined by law to the government advertisements, announcing the names ef a new cabinet, which | sent you, and also @ message from the President to the As- sembly. It was believed at the Bourse, and the funds were affected by-{t, In the course of the evening, how- ever, the public prosecutor sent an invitation to the printer to appear before him, and a prosecution was instituted for the false publication. The following are the names which compose it, and which may require some observation :— Mz Odillon Barrot.......Minister of Justice, Presi- dent of the Council, in the absence of the Presi- dent of the Republic, Dufaure..... Minister of the Interior. De Tocqueville. Foreign Affairs. Rulliére.. . . War. De Falloux..... Public Instruction. Pasey.... 3 ‘imances, De Tracy. Marine and Colonies, Lanjuinais 5 mmerce. Lacrosse . ++Public Works ‘This cabinet is one of compromise. It ineludes indi- viduals representing every party in the Aseembly and the country, except the montagnards, the socialists, nd the very small party who are called sincere ro- publicans, or repudlicaine of the veille. This party, which played so prominent and influential a part in the late Assembly,and throughout the last year. and whose sentiments were then spoken by the Jeurnal and the National, has been literally swept from the chamber by the late election, and it has accordingly no repre- tentative in the cabinet. The legitimists are repre- tented in this cabinet by M. de Falloux, Minister of Public Instruction, That portion of the late Assem- bly which, being of the moderate party, previously lent their support to Gen. Cavaignac on the election of President, is represented by MM. Dufauro. De Tocqueville, and Lanjuinais. The Constitutional monarchists, or republicans of the lendemain, are re- presented by MM. Barrot, Rulliire, Lacrosse, &c. It is remarkable that there is not one of thy party of the lmperialists in the cabinet. Odillon Barrot is a friend and partisan of the President of the Republic only 80 far as the Presidency of the Republie goes, The truth is, the Imperialists are not streng enough either in the Chamber or in the country, at present, to com- mand a place in the government. The cabinet, then, is a piece of Mosaie, having very little tenacity. There is only one common bond to cement to- gether its heterogeneous elements, and this bond is stern and uncompromising opposition to red republicanirm, socialism, and communism. It i with ® special view to crusufthese parties that the cabinet has been framed. The republicans of the reille will probably go over for the most part to the red republi- caus. and the imperialists will stand by waiting the opportunities of a row. The cabinet has held councils for several hours daily, tince Saturday, but its members have not arrived at any agreement as to the tense and substance of the mensage. This message was expected on Monday in the Assembly, and notwithstanding the broiling heat of the weather, which is equal to that of the West Indies, the galleries were filled with persons curious to hear it. Jt was announced on Tuesday that it would not be delivered until the verification of powers had deen completed. Now, as this verification of powers ean have nothing whatever to do with the message, this ie a mere pretext to gain time. Those who are hostile to the cabinet affirm that it will split to pieces before it ean agree on the message. The great point of internal conflict in the ministry ie the Italian question. Dufaure, De Tocqueville, and Lanjuinais, who had no part and no responsibility in the expedition to Rome, take a very different view of this from the rest of the cabinet, who joined in sending that expedition, and an agreement must evidently be extremely difficult, especially between M. de Falioux on the one hand, and M. Dufwure on the other. It is evident that there are but three courses open to the French government at present. Either the army of General Oudinot must take Rome by storm, or it must retire in which case the Austrians and Neapoli- tans will unite and march upon Rome and restore the Pope, to the utter exclusion of all constitutional go- yernment; or finally the army of General Oudinot must join the Romans—the Freuch cabinet acknowledgin, ‘the Roman republic, and then would exsue a general war. There is no other conceiveabie horn to the di- lemma, Now the origiual theory of the expedition was this, considering that if the French should abstain, all chance of af constitutional system would be at an end, since the Austrians and Neapolitans would crush all liberal policy there, Onthe other band, the French, fatervening with the consent of the Northern powers to establith the Pope, could insist upon a secular go- vernment, in ail that does notfeoncern, imm?"ately, the affairs of the church; ang if ths Yepublic were put down, there Would, af feast, result a more liberal form of government. Inno case was it considered probable that the temporal forfeiture of the Pope, and the esta- Dlishment of the republic, could be regarded as pos- sible. 4 But the red republicans. socialists and ultra-demo- crats desired that the republic should be acknowledged and supported, and consequently that a war should be undertaken, for nothing less could ens In the present position of affairs, the French army being under the walls of Rome, and French honor be- ing in # measure pledged, it is difficult to imagine what will be decided on. Retreat would be regarded as dis- efal in a military sense. and hostile operations would be unpopular ina political sense, It is proba. Die, however, that some solution of the question will be given in the message, which may by possibility be presented to the Assembly before the departure of the mail which will take this letter, ‘Lhe exposition of the products of French industry, which opened on Monday. has proved.as [ told you was probable, a complete failure. Political preoccupations, commercial and financial crises, the elections, and the general uncertainty of all pu the time for ots has been extended, It is not impossible, that, considering the circumstances of the case, the exhibition after having been kept open for a certain time will be announced as postponed till the next year, On Tuesday, M. Leon Faucher. the ex-minister of tho Interior, made his long- promised explauation respecting the celebrated telegraphic despatch, ‘Lhis produced, of course, ® perfect uproar from the party ot the moun- tain, whose attacks on M, Leon Faucher were more vio- lent than ever; but, as you will see by the debates, ‘were equally extended to the new President of the As- | forsigners have again vistted Paris. This felicitous sembly, M. Dupin. Indeod. it is impossible, by any de- scription, to give an adequate idea of the scene which the Chamber presented on Tuesday. The worst scenes in the former Chamber were, if ‘ible, outdone, How- ever, the triumph of the ex-minister was complete. He read the instructions which he had Tey to the pre- fects om the subject of the elections, which evinced the ees impartiality, and forbade all improper inter- ference. On Tuesday, M. Proudhon arrived in Paris by the Northern Railway, and. on ftepping from the convoi, looked carefully about him, to observe if any precau- tions had been taken for his arrest; but everythin wearing an indication of his arrival being unexpecte by the authorities, he walked boldly into the town, fol- lowed only by a modest-looking man ina blouse, He roceeded some way on his course, when, opposite to arrack, his companion of the blouse, stepping up to him, told him he was his prisoner. He attempted re- sistance; but our hero of the blouse, discovering him- self to be an agent of police, calling on the guard for assistance, the — socialist was placed in a car- ringe, and deposited at the Prefecture of Police, The message of the President of the Republie to the Assembly, according to the terms of the constitution. was at length delivered yesterday to the President of the Assembly. It was not read, but at once sent to the Meniteur, for publication. As it is a document of the highest importance, 1 have thought it better to send you a translation of it, lest, by any aceldent, you should not receive it by the journals in the ordinary course, Panis, June 7, 1849. The Bourse and Money Market. After the fearful fall which ina few days caused a difference of 15 per cent in the 5 per Cents, the settle- ments, as I told you in my last report, caused the great- est apprehensions. This fall occurring at a time at which, as you will see by my preceding reports, opera- tions for a rise had been undertaken on an extensive seale, and so persisted in by the bulls that they con- tinued their aceounts month after month at ruinous prices, would have had irreparable consequences if the settlement had chanced to have taken place without any interval; because the bulls would not have bad time to adopt the opportunity of taking bear accounts, and must thus have settled their losses on the footing of 76, instead of 8475. They were, however, afforded this chance, and most of them availed themselves of it. Notwithstanding this, however, the settlement has been & most disastrous one, and very heavy losses have been sustained by the bull party. The Agens de Change found the necessity of compelling most of their clients to liquidate their accounts, and refused, in almost every. case, to tinue them for the ‘succeeding month. Jn addition to this, the bear perty who had from month to month continued their tran: ions at high prices, refused to do so for the ensuing month, and declared, almost to a man, that they would deliver stock’ at the settlement. As very heavy amounts were involved in those determinations, it be- came necessary to adopt some extraordinary means to save the market from a catastrophe; and an arrange- ment was said to have been made by the Bank of France, to advance to the syndlente of the agents de change 12 millions, on the deposit of steck, to effect centinuations. The announcement ef this facilitated the settlement. The bears again consented to con- tinue their accounts at premiums of 1 franc, and the settlement was consequently arranged without all the disastrous consequencesanticipated. Disasters enough, however, have occurred to render the settlement of May, 1849, memorable. othing material has taken place, save the settle- ment. Prices have been gradually and steadily rising, until Tuesday, when the non-preeen‘ation of the mes- sage of the President of the Republic to the Assembly, which had been promised by the minister to the Chamber on Monday, causing an apprehensien that there was some disunion in the new cabinet, and ru- mors gr circulated that the French army bad com- menced the bombardment of Rome, brought about a decline which continued, also, from the same causes, yesterday. Before I close my letter, I will ascertain what has been the effect on the market of the message, which was at length delivered yesterday, the contents of which are known to-day at the Bourse. | send you ‘the week’s prices of the funds, having nothing parti- cular to observe as to other securities.

Gentlemen Representatives—The constitution obliges the President of the republic to lay before you every cara statement of the general affairs of the country, {Conform with this obligation, which allows me, while submitting to you the truth in ali its simplicity, and facts so far as they are instructive, to speak to you both of my past conduct aud of my future intentions, My election to the first magistracy of the republic was the cause of “hopes, all of which could not as yet be re- alized. ‘To the very day when you are assembled with- in these walls, the executive power has not enjoyed its constitutional prerogatives to their full extent. In such a position it was difficult to take a very decided course. Nevertheless, 1 remain faithful to my mani- festo, Indeed, to what have I pledged myreif in ac- cepting the suffrages of the nation? ‘T'o defend socie- ty, so audaciourly assailed. To secure & wise, great, and honorable republic. To protect family, religion, and prope To promote all possible improvement and economy. To protect the press against caprice and licentiousness. ‘To lessen the abuses of centrali- zation. To efface the marks ot our civil discords, And finally, with respect to foreign relations, to adopt a po- licy alike without arrogance and without weakness. ‘Times and circumstances have not as yet allowed me to fulfil all these engagements, but important steps have nevertheless been taken in this direction. The first duty of the government was to direct all its efforts to the re-establishment of that confidence which could notbe complete without a definite power. ‘The want of security in the present, and of faith in the future, destroys credit, stops labor, diminishes revenue both public and private, renders loans impossible, and dries up the sources of wealth. Before confidence was re- stored it would bave been as yain to hare recourse to all the systems of credit as to the most revolutionary expedients. Abundance could not be created when fear and distrust of the morrow had produced sterility, Even our foreign polley eould not rise to the level of our former power, excepting when we had restored at home that which constitates the strength of nations— viz: the union of the citizens and financial prosperity, ‘To attaiu this end the government could only follow firm and resolute course, showing to all that, without departing from the prescriptions of law, it would adopt the most energetic measures for the security of s0- ciety. It generally endeavored, therefore, to re-estab- lish the weight of authority, by emplying all its care in calling to public office those men whom it judged most honorable and competent, without regard to their political autecedents, Lest the public mind should be disturbed, the government has deferred the project of | liberating the victims of our civil discords. At | the very word “ amnesty” public opinion is moved in different directions, and it has feared the return of fresh troubles, Neverthcless, | have used clemen- cy where it not been misplaced. The pri- sons are already open for 1,670 convicts of June, and the others will toon be eet at liberty without any cause ofapprebension to society, As for those who are con- | demned to the galleys by councils cf war, some of them, who can be put on the same footing as political criminals, sball be placed in penitentiaries. The eourse we have adopted soon restored confidence; business gained a new impulse; the savings banks were filled, Sice the end of January the produce of the indirect | contributions and the ‘customs has incessantly in- creased; and in April was nearly equal to that of the most prosperous times. Tho Treasury has retained the credit of which it stood in need, and the city of Faris has been able to contract a loau almost at par—a | negotiation whieh reminds us of the time when eon- fidence was most Feeurely estublithed. The petitions for eanctioning joint stock companies (sociétés anonyr..s) havs been multiplied; the number of pn'tucg has ine creased from day to day; the prices or offices, the sale of all those values which hye suffered & heavy depr ciation, have grads airy improved; and, finally, im all the manuf; aring towns work has recommenced, aud 1 | | movement, interrupted Tor a moment by the agita- tion of the elections, will resume its course through the aid which you will afford to the government. FINANCES. Although our commercial and industrial affairs have been greatly restored. the state of our finances is far from ratisfactory. The weight of hazardous engage- nents contracted by the late government has caused, in the course of the year 1848, an expenditare which has increased the public debt by 66.501 800f. additional rentes. Moreoves, the extraordinary expenses caused by the February revolution have produced an increase of charges, which, after every compensation, amounts to 266.408 428f. for the year 1848. In spite of the addie tional resources, owing to the tax of 45c.. and to the loans which have been negotiated, there will be a deficit of 72,160,000f, According to the badget, the year 1849 war to leave only a deficit of 25,000,000f., but facts have not agreed with calculations, and considerable changes have arisen from unforeseen circumstances, New taxes, the produce of whieh has been valued at more than 90,000,000f., have not been voted; while, on the other hand. not only has the tax on salt been reduced two- thirds, but the revenue from the tax on letters bas fall- en far below the amount expected, and the estimated deficit will be equal to 180,000,001. Another unexpect- ed circumstanees has made our situation worse. ‘The tax on liquors. the produce of which exceeds 1,000,000f. required to be modified and simplified by a new form, which should harmouize it with the spirit of our insti- tutlo: An amendment added to the budget of 1849 has abolished it from the Ist of January, 1860, and has prohibited its re-imposition, It haa, nevertheluss, been necessary to restore the equilibrium between re- ceipts and expenses, and this end can only be attained by reducing the expenses, and opening new sources of revenue. ‘This state of our finances deserves a serions consideration. What ought, nevertheless, to console and encourage us, is to set forth the elements of etre! and riches contained in our country, | of 1849. Nothinggof the kind has happened ; NATIONAL GUARD. The National Guard, which has almost everywhere shown itself animated by asense of its duties, comprises at present nearly 4,000,000 men, 1,200,000 of whem are armed with muskets or light arms. It possesses 500 The organisation of 300 battalions of disposable onal Guards is in conformity with the decree of the 22d of last July. The re-organisation of the Garde Mobile, which was engaged for a single year in 1843, has caused a reduction from 12,000 to 6,000 men, and conse- quently a saving of 7,000,000f. ARMY. The army, always faithful to its honor and its duty, has continued, by its firm and unflinching attitude, te restrain the evil passions in the interior, and to give abroad a just idea of our power. We have now alto- gether under arms 451,000 men, and 92,754 horses. Wo ave 16,495 guns of every kind, of which 13,770 are in bronze. Our field pieces amount to 5,139, It is to our army that Aigeria owes the peace which she enjoys, A certain agitation has been apparent among the Arabs and the Kabyles, but some well concerted and well exe- cuted operations have premptly restored order aud se- eurity, and our influence has increased. The works of the port of Algiers, and these which aro designed to impreve our methods of communication, are carried on with the activity which the sppropristions of the budget admit of. “The state of the produce of this year shows that private evlonization Is progressing. “The establishment and developement of the agricultural colonies are continued with zeal and perseverance Our fleet, which protects our colonies and makes our flag respected in every sea, is composed—Of the active railing fleet, comprising 10'ships of the line, 8 frigates, 18 corvettes, 24 brigs, 12 transports, and 24 light ves- sels; of the active steam fleet, comprising 14 frigat 13 corvettes, and 34 despatch boats. — Besides the active fleet, there are advanced ships and ships in ordinary. This reserve is ready to act on the shortest notice. It 1s composed of ten ships of the line, fifteen sailing frigates, ten steam trigates, six steam corvettes, and six mail steamers, ‘To man these yersels there are required 950 officers of all ranks, not including cadets, and an effective of seamen not’ less than 28,500 men, No serious tumult has appeared tn the bosom of colonial society, which has rested on the rolid basis of civil and political equality. To the bene- fit of liberty to the blacks has been added compen- sation of indemnity to the planters. An equitable di- vision will prove, it is to be hoped, an element of peace, labor and prosperity, As far as it is possible con- sistently with the Budget of 1849, the government hopes to maintain intact the naval and colonial estab- lishments, until it can prepose an improvement and further developement to the Legislative Assembly. AGRIC TURE, INDUSTRY AND COMMERCE. Agriculture, that source of all wealth, has been en- couraged ar much as was posible in so short u time Since the 20th of February last twenty-one farming schools have been opened. Added to the twenty-five schools of the kind which existed before, they form the first step in agricultural instruction. ‘Some more of these schools will be established, ‘The institutions of Sauslaie and Grand-Jouard have assumed the rank of district schools, They are now establishments of the State, according to the law of the 3d of October. The administration has caused itgelf to be put in pos- ression of the farms in the little park of Versailles, which is intended for a national agricultural institu- tion, 122 agricultural societies, and more than 300 mi- nor institutions, have taken part in the distribution of the funds which were voted for the encouragement of agriculture. According to the decree of the 25th of April, 1849, a special commission bas undertaken the study of the question of agricultural colouies. ‘The Rovernment wished to discover the most efficacious means of assisting the laboring classes, by inducing the laborers to leave the cities for field work, and imi- tating the examp! f other countries (the documents relating to which have been collected), to make use of the profits arising from waste lands for the advantage of the poor. ‘The organisation of the national studs has been greatly modified by the decree of the 11th of December, 1848. The breeding of horses is progress- ing. AlL the establishments which depend on that branch of industry, and which once thought their ex- irtence threatened, have succeeded in finding their proper level. The judicious use of the credit of 500,- G00f , which wore allowed for remounting the cavalry, has promoted this result. The remounts have never been so censiderable and so splendid as during this year. The supply of food in the country is satisfac tory; the harvest of 1848, though less abundant than that’ which preceded it, is more than sufflcient to meet the wants of the country. The re- turns of the condition of the growing crops are very favorable, It is a comfort, amidat all our trials, to find in the abundance of produce a hope of cheap food for our population. ‘The exhibition of objects of indus- try. which exercises a favorable influence on business, opencd on the 4th of June, The former number of ex: hibitors was 3,019; their present number is above 4.000. ‘The execution of the law on the associations of work. men continues and approaches its end. Of 600 claime which were made to the Trade Department, only 80 are still under consideration; 2 202,000f. have been allowed to 47 asrociations, out of’ vote of 3.000.000f. ‘The con- sulting and commercial committees ure about to be es- tablished on another basis. The foreign trade of France amounted,’in 1847, toa total of 2 milliurds and 614 millions. 1,343 millions of these were imports, and 1271 miliens were exports. Sorely tried by polltical events, the year 1845, as might have beon foreseen, witnessed a considerablé decrease in French commerce, An exact computation of that decrease has not yet been made, for the administration of the custom house cannot as yet determine the exact amount, though there can be no doubt but that the supposed sum will be consider- ably reduced. The consumptien of raw materials has fallen greatly. The iron trade has suuk from 95,941 tons to 45,653 tons; coals from 2,173,000 to 1.706,000 tons; wool from 138.000 to 80,962 cwt.; ilk from 15.000 to 7,688, &e. The variation of our foreign trade in 1848 can be accurately judged by the custom house returns. In 1847 the monthly average number was 11,000,000f. ‘The average number in January and February, 1843, was 8.700.000f. March and the next three months showed a steady decrease down to 5.000,000f, ‘The erage number of July, August, and September, rose toa little above 8,000,000f, and, finally, the last three months of the year presented an average of 9,000,000f. —that is to say, double that of the most agitated months It is clear that'in the course of the last three months, and in proportion as the country approached the regu: lar and definitive constitution of power, the improve- ment in trade and public confidence went on steadily increasing. This influence told especially upon our exports. Almost every article had in the first half-year experienced revere losses, ‘The increase and extension of bounties (decree of the 10th of June, 1848) imparted an activity which lasted to the end of the year, when most articles returned to their level, and some (wines, brandy. silke, and linen) had even risen, if compared with 1848. But this improvement is most strongly shown by an examination of the results of the first months of 1849. If the difference 1s not so striking in January and February (in comparison with the same months in 1848), a decided advantage will be found on the side of March and April, 1849, in imports as well as in exports, ‘Thus (to quote but a few of these arti- cles which support our native industry’, cotton rose in April to 21 millions of kilogrammes, instead of 13; coal, to 667,000 tons, instead of 447,000; wool, to 46.765 ewt, Instead of 21,480; raw sugar, to 26 millions «f kilogrammes, instead of 16; indigo, to 294.000 kilogrammes, instead of 236,000; mahogany, 700.000 kilogrammes, instead of 605.000 ; and the return of the total reecipts of the Customs on the 30th of April, 1849, amounted to 39.000,000f., instead of to 26,787 000f. in April, 1849, ‘That this amelforation con- tinued in May, in epite ef the agitations which troubled bat month,ia proved by a return exceeding that of May 1S47. by 5 ‘millions and @ half, and by the fact that Paris bas cen the amount of its exports, compared like- wise with those of May, 1848, rise to the sum of 6mil- lions, The decree which for the timo raised the amount of bounties on exporte having ceased on and from tho Ist January, 1849, it ee haye ot) expected that our exports would fall off from that date, and that this legislative measure would have lost in 1848 the profits our spun goods of all kinds showed on the 31st of May last a very marked jnereate. The same may be said of our re! sugar. our curedwkine, glase, &e, In short. the con tion of French trade was precarious throughout part of 1848, Jt improved towards the end of the year, and fince the commencement of 1549 it has been ateadily progressing. This {« a result which gives us present advan tages aud hope s[for the fature, ‘The questions of penal | reform prison labor are bound up with the interests of in- dustry. special cxamination ; strenuous efforts have been made to re-establivh dieeipline, and the administration is es- Peolally ocoupied with the idea of, parbaps, making agriculture play a part in the organization of convict labor. ‘The number of county prisons is. + 400 | Of central depots... ..... se seere esses +l Of houses of correction for juvenile offenders.

Thea nual income of theee establishments ix above 53,000,000f. We ought to mention 8,000 charitable offices for the distribution ofdomestic relief. Their ordinary incomes amount to 13.500,000f. There are other charitable in- stitutions relating to pawnbrokers, hospitals for found- linge, the aged, the deaf and dumb, the blind. About 60,000,000f. are expended by these institations, Thus there are no less than 116,000,000f, annually expended in public charities, without taking into consideration private benevolence, the amount of which it is of course impossible tocaleulate even by approximation. But though this relief may appear immense, it is still ‘mall in comparison with the still greater amount of want. The government is fully aware of this fact, and itis firmly resolved tomake up for this insuifi- ciency. Mea#ures for the preservation of public health have been taken everywhere throughout France.

They are approaching thelr end. They are th al joining the Marne and the Rhine, and the cayal of the Garonne. As for the railroads which the St: has undertaken to build, no less than 800,000,000f. been expended on them up to the Sist of Decem- ber, 1847. ‘The statements of the engineers are that a sum of 120,000,000. is wanted to complete them.

From Paris to Tonnerre, and from Dijon to ce jons-sur-Saone, the line is about being opened, To eamplete the whole, from Tonnerre to Dijon, and from C¥Iulons to Lyons, about two years of uninterrupted wetk are wanted.

Private building, in which a vast number of persons are en- gaged, has suffered from the crisis, The National As- sembly has only voted the money required for the com- pletion of the fabrics which were building since some ears. The works at the Sainte Chapolle, at the Mining School, at the Library of St, Genevieve, at the Polytechnic School, and at the Lyous Veterinary Sehool, have been continued. The government thought it worthy of the republic to complete the Palace of the Louvre, where all our literary and artistic treasures aro Kept. it has, consequently, asked the National As- sembly for the means, This demand is now before a commit tee, and this orate question will again be submitted to the Assembly. PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. In the outset of his administration, the Minister of Public Instruction appointed two commissioners to pre- pare two draughts of laws on primary and seeond- ary instruction. His object was an immediate and sin- cere application of the principle of liberty, as traced in the constitution. The result of their laborious delibe- tations will be submitted to the Assembly. A draught of law on the establishment of a course of prac- tical administration in each faculty of the department has been presented, to the National Assembly. The question was not decided, and will again be brought for- rd. ‘Two decrees of the Executive, of the 30th of May and 16th of August, placed the Algerine schools in the province of the Minister of Public Instruction, and Al- glers became the seat of an academy, A commission, Under one of our ablest generals, 18 studying to find the means to facilitate the intercourse ot the Arab and French languages.

The summary details will show you, gentle- men. that the administration has been gealous in its duties. The revolution has given it a fresh impetus, In its various brauches it has not been satisfied with merely accomplishing its functions, but {t has also en- deavored to answer to the public expectations by pre- paring plans of improvement, which will be submitted to the Legislative Assembly. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. It Is the destiny of France to shake the world when- ever the moves, and to calm it when she becomes quiet, Europe lays its repose or its agitation at our door. This responsibility imposes important duties upon us; it dominates over our situation. After the days of Feb- ruary, the recoil of our revolution was felt from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, and my predecessors in office refused to throw France into a war of which they could not seetheend. They were right. The state of civilization in Europe allows us to deliver one’s coun- try to theharards of « general collision only when a man bas necessity and justice unmistakably on his tide, A secondary influence, amore or leas specious political reason, are not enough; a nation like ours, if It does engage ina gigantic struggle, ought to be able to justify in the eyes of the world either the magnitude of its successes or that of its misfortunes. When [ came to power. great questions were pending through- out Europe. On the banks of the Rhine, beyond the Alps, from Denmark to Sicily, we had our interests to protect, our influence to exert. But did this in- terest and this influence for being energetically upheld merit the chances of European confingration? The question thus put was easily answered. From this point of view France did, in all the forelga affairs which we are going to review, all that she could do for the interest of her allies, without, neverthelvss ap- pealing to the lust argument of governments. viz: tho force of arms. A year ago Sicily had risen against the King of Naples. England and France interfered with their fleets to stop the hostilities, which became still more cruel; and though England was more interested inthe question than even France, the two admirals united to obtain from the King Ferdinand, an amnesty for the Sicilians and a constitution which guaranteed their legislative and administrative independence ‘They retured. The admirals quitted Sicily, being fore- edto abandon their mediation, and soon afterwards the war began The very people which had refused to accept tavorable conditions were forged to an uncondi- tional surrender. A serioug war broke out in the North of Italy,and when thi Piedmontese army advanc- edto the Minoto, it was thought, though but for one iméniczt only. that Lombardy would reconquer its in- dependence. Discord proved fatal to that hope, and the King of Piedmont was obliged to retreat within his own States. At the time of my election the media- tion of England and France had ben accepted by the Delligerent purttes. The only thing to be effected was to get the least disadvantageous conditions for Pied- | movt Our part was traced out, and even preseribed. Torefure compliance was the inflaming a European war. ‘Though Austria did not send any agent to Brusse Ince which was designated for the conference—the French government. ovunselled Piedmont to resist the movement which was hurrying her into war, and not to recommence @ too unequal conflict. This counsel | was not allowed, as you know. And after anew defeat, | the King of Sardinia concluded directly with Austria a fresh armistice, Although France was not responsi- | bie for this conduct, she could not permit Piedmont to | be crushed, and from the tribune itself the govern: | ment declared that it would maintain the integrity and territory of « country which covers one portion of our frovtiers. Ou the one side it used its best endea- vors to moderate the requirements of Austria, when the demanded an indemnity for the war, which appear- ed to ber exorbitant. On the other hand, it engaged Piedmont to make just sacrifices in order to obtain an Lonorable peace. We bave every reason to believe that we shail be successful in this work of conciliation. While these events were passing in the north of Italy, jotions arose in the centre of the peninsula, jeate the questier In Tuscany the Grand Duke had quitted his 8 In Rome @ revolution had been accomplished which had profoundly agitated the Catholic avd liberal world ; in effect. for two years, one had been in the babit of seeing on the holy throne & pontiff who took the initiative in useful reforms, and whose name, repented iu hymns of gratitude from oné end of Italy to the otber, was a symbol of liberty and a pledge of every hope _ It was then we heard, ou a sudden with astonisbinent. that this Sovereign, so lately the Jdol of his people, had been compelled to fly furtively from the capital, So it was the acts of aggression which enfereed Pius IX to quit Rome appeared in the +yes of kurope to be rather a conspiracy than the move- t of a people which could not have passed in one incment from the most lively enthusiasm to the most afflicting ingratitude. The Catholic Powers despatched ambassadors to Gaeta to occupy themselves about the grave interests of the Papacy, France, too, had w right to be represented there, She listened to everything without committing herself to any course of action; but, after the defeat of Novarra, affairs aseumed @ more decided aspect: Austria, in concert with Naples, an- ewering the appeal of the Holy Father, notitied to the Freneh goverument that it must decide upon its course, | ee penis, which he had not recognised.

A train of unhappy circumstances led to a different re- sult; our expeditionary foree, of slender amount in point of numbers, for a serious resistance was not fore- seen, dixembarked at Civita Vecchia, and the govern- meni had received intelligence that, could it have ar- | rived at Rome the same day, the gates of the city would have been joyfully unclosed for its entrance. But, whilst General Oudinot was notifying his arrival to | the government of Rome, Garibaldi was entering it at the head of a band formed of refugees from all parts of Italy, and even trom the rest of Europe, and his pi rence, as may be conecived, gave a sudden teinfore ment to the party who went for resistance, On t 80th of April 6,000 of our soldiers presented themselves before the walls of Rome. ‘They were received by mus- ketry; some few even, who had been drawn into a trap, were ‘made prisoners, ‘This unlooked-for_ struggle, without making any changoin the final aim of our enterprise, has paralyzed our beneficent intentions and rendered abortive the efforts of our negotiators In the north of Germany an fusurrection had compro- mised the independence of a state, one of the most an- cient and the most faithful of the allies of France, Denmark saw the ebay aa of Schleswig and Hol- stein were against her, although they recognised at the same time the authority of the sovreign actually reign- ing..

Negotiations opened some months back established the conclusion that Schlewig was to form, under the authority of Denmark, aseparate State. But, when the principle had been once admitted, they could not come to an understanding upon the con- sequences which should have been deduced from it, and hostilities recommenced. The efferts of the powers | haye named tend at this moment to the conclusion of a new armistice which will be the pre- liminary of a definitive arrangement. ‘The rest of Ger- many is agitated by grave perturbations. The efforts made by the Assembly at Frankfort in favor of German unity have provoked the resistance of several of the federal States, and brought about a conflict which, as it approaches our frontiers, will necessitate on our part ‘an anxious overlooking, ‘The empire of Austria, engaged ina fearful contest with Hungary, has thought itself authorized in calling in the assistance ot Russia. Tho intervention of this power, the march of its armies to- wards the west, could not but excite toa high degree the solicitude of the government, which has ex- changed upon this subject several diplomatic notes. ‘Thus there exist everywhere in Europe causes of colli- rion which we have sought to remove, preserving, at the sume time, our independence of action and proper character, In’all these quostions we have always been inagreement with England, which has given us proofs ofgood will of which we should be sensible, Russia has recognised the republic, The government has eon- cluded postal treaties to facilitate international com- munications with Spain and Belgium.

This course consists in boldly taking the initiative in all the ameliorations and in all the reforms which may coutri- bute to the well being of all; and on the other hand, by repressing, by the severity of laws which have be- come necessary, those attempts at disorder and anar- chy which prolong the public uneasiness.

Jon 4.—The House met for the first time after the Whitsuntide recess, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Deputy Speaker, presiding. CANADA. Lord Brovenam gave notice that, on the following day, he should put a question to the noble carl, the Secretary for Colonial Affairs, as to the persons to whom compensation was proposed to be paid for losses sustained during the rebellion in Canada. The noble and learned lord added that he should postpone his motion, which stood for Thursday next, calling the at- tention of the House to the late events in Canada, and to the Compenration Bill, till Friday week. On Tuesday Lord Brovonast begged to ask the noble lord opposite whether he was not in possession of farther information from Canada, with respect to what had taken place in the General Assombly, and whether it was true, ax he understood it to be, that the govern- ment had suceceded in cutting down the indemnity as far a8 two classes were concerned, who were now in- cluded fn th and that all persons were now to be excluded frem the indemnity who had ever been con- vieted, or who, not being convicted or tried, had yet submitted themselves to the Inw, and been in the cus- tody of the sheriffand transported? Perhaps the noble lord would have no objection to state whether that rumor was well-founded or otherwise, Karl Guny said the whole of the information which he had received from the Governor. Goneral was alread: on their lordships’ table, Any other information whie! he postersed on the subject had been derived from the reports of the debates published in the local journals, snd which were of course equally accessible to the noble and learned lord as tohim.

Lord Brovonam—Am | to understand the noble earl, that he has received no official or private depatch on this subject? karl Guey—The informaticn which I have on the subject is derived from the Canadian newspapers. Lord Elgin, in a private letter, referred to the reports that appeared in various newspapers of the debates, and said that I would derive information from them.

Mr. Herries wished to ask a question in reference to the papers moved for on this subject by his right hono- rable triend the member for tho University of Oxford (Mr. Gladstone.) In one of those papers, in a side note, it was stated that an appendix, containing a list of the claimants under the commission, to the extent of 2,176 ni and demanding a total amount of £241,- 965, was in existence, and then it was added that as these returns were very voluminous, they were omitted. ‘What he wanted to know was, whether this lst was omitted to be sent from Canada, or whether it was omitted to be furnished tothe House by the colonial office in Downing street. Lord Jonny Russeit hoped that the right honorable gentleman would repeat bis question when the honor- able gentleman, the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies, was present. Mr. Hume said, that as the right honorable gentle- man for Oxford had given notice of a motion on the subject, it was of great importance that government should lay upon the table of the House all the previous proceedings connected with the Rebellion Losses bill. Lord Jous Russert.—All the decuments in posses- sion of the Colonial office have been already laid upom the table. Mr. Giapsto: had understood the honorable gentle- man, the Under Secretary for the Colonies, to have stated to him that day, that the Colonial office was in posseesion of the list in question.

Mr. Giapstone replied that that arrangement weuld suit him perfectly.

In the commencement of the | 1ith century, it was not for the triumph of the insen- | rate {dens of a few fanatics, who took the Bible for the | text and excuse of their follien, that the English peo- ple etruggled for 40 years—but for the supremacy of their religion. In the same way, it was not for tho ideas of Babcuf, or any other chief of a sect, that sucie- ty was turned topsy-turvey after '89, but for the aboli- tion of privileges, for the division of property, for equal- ity before the law, and for the admission of all perso to employments, Well, then, again in our own time, it not for the application of inapplicable theories or ima. ginary advantages, that the revolution has accom- | plithed iteelf. but to gain a government which, being | the rerult of the will of all, may have a better intelli: | gence of the wants of the people, and may guide tho | destinies of the country without any dynastic bias, | Our duty is, then, to distinguish between the false and | true ideas which rise up out of a revolution; then, | when the distinction is made, one must place one’s self atthehoad of one class. and vigorously combat the | other.
