      IBS KiTIOKAL lUSUBLY . On Saturday , M . B .

And that thb was done for the purpose of Genera ! Cavaiguao acquiring the more honour in putting down the insurrection , and therewith a greater claim to the pre . sidency of the republic . Then

Bixio addressed to the government the interpellation of which he had gives noties ' - . relative to the affairs of Rome . He begged to ask iwoat the government proposed to do under present Icareurnstanoes , both with retard to Rome , which was Is locus of disorder , asd te Milan , which was in the ! flips of foreign oppression . He put both questions , rtor the reason that ha considered the questions of ' Some and Lombardy intimately connected ; . . ' General Cavaissao declared that with respect to ihe Austro-Lombard question , the negotiations had ' been retarded on account of the late events of which

      ! Vienna had been tbe theatre . As to the affairs of iRome , ba had to announce that the government had ordered the embarkation in four steam frigates of lihe brigade that was at Marseilles to take tbe " troops to Civita Veechis . The object ef the expe" digon was to ensure ths personal safety of the Pope , or to protect his momentary retreat into France . * M , de Conreelles had been despatched as Minister Extraordinary , charged with the execution of this Impaififit enterprise . General Cavaignao added , Jh & t should there be necessity for more troops tbey ' would be sent , bnt he should say that the instruc' Suns to M . de Conreelles are to the effect , that he is to observe the strictest neutrality with regard to the political questions that distract the country . As it ' would be his duty to take the sense of the Assembly nnthenatnraof those instruction * , he asked to fix " Thursday for the purpose .

      8 TAW OF PARK , . Paris may be said to be quiet and orderly durisg ens day , bat when night sets in there commences a Series of mes & hgf , at whieh qurstwrs are disenjsed of a nature and in * manner calculated to awaken tnermvt serious apprehensions . In the banlieue , aad in all the towns in the neighbourhood of Paris , one-half of the troops quartered in them are en stoutly held in marching and fighting order , so tbat iu twelve hours reinfereements of 25 , 000 troops woald arrive , sad in twenty-four hours 50 . 000 , independently of departmental National Guards .

      On F-iday evening there were attroupemmts a the Bonbvtrds and in several other places . Openair elnbs were formed in different places , where the merits of the candidates for the Presidency were dis sussed with extraordinary violence , amidst ones of Down « ritb .

Ai the Barriere da Fostainebleaa there was a oollision between a party of the Garde Mobile sad same troops of the line and Republican Guards , in which fire or sir persons ware wounded .

      ( From tbe Dail y » Ycu /« . ) We beg to call the attention of the government and its supporters in tbe London press , to the following letter , received from our correspondent in Vienna , and dated the 24 th ult .. — ' Yesterday morning a British subject waa murdered by the military authorities . Mr Becher , a gentleman of high education , born at Manchester , was condemned to death on the 22 cd of November , in consequence of some compositions which he had written in his newspaper , the Radicau , at a time when Vienna enjoyed the full liberty of the press , and when he was osly answerabJe / orhis writiBgs to a legal jary . Lord Posso & by was informed of the judgment on the evening otthe 22 nd . His protest against the execution of judgment was not respected by Prince Winditchgra ' s , who pretended to be asleep when it arrived at Schoenbrunn . Consequently Mr Becher was shot on the 23 rd , at 8 o ' clock is the morning , in company with Dr Jellineck , who was the sub-editor of the same paper . '

      OPKBIKG CF THB AUSTRIAN DIET . Shiusub , Nov . 22 . —The first sitting of the Diet has taken place . As nearly as possible the deputies were arranged as ia Vienaa—the Poles and ultra-German party occupying the left , and the Czesohs the right . The President and two Vioe-Preiidents were elected . The President is a Pole , the Vioe-Presidests are a Moravian , and a German . The Csssohs have been completely thrown out .

      BETRAYAL OF THE PRUSSIAN PEOPLE BT THE FRANKFORT PARLIAMENT . On tbe 20 th an important vote was taken . The committee to whom the affairs of Prussia cad been referred reported is favour of the fallowing resolutions : — ' 1 . The National Assembly , is socerdance with ita resolution of the 14 th alt ., and in consideration of istermediato events , calls npon tbe Central Power ts effectuate , by means of the imperial commissioners now is Berlin , the appointment of a ministry whioh possecsss the confidence of the country . 3 . It expressly declares those resolutions of the fraction * of the Assembly atdlremainfiig ^ n Berlin , whioh are so evidently illegal and dangerous to the state , to be sull and void , namely , those relating to a ref & sal of the taxes . 3 ; It declares furthermore , that it is

      resolved to defend all rights and liberties that have bsen conceded and promised , against every attempt that may be made to impair them . ' After a strong debate these resolutions were carried . The Left broke forth in an eioeignf clamour os the second point being decided . The : President called them to order . The cry of Shame ! ' whioh they had previously uttered , waa again raised by individual members is defiance . Gigern demanded the names of the dissentient shooters , that they might ba protocoled . No direct answer ensued . except frem Vogt , who stepped forward and said . 'I did sot call with the rest , bat if my name be wished for yoa may have it ! ' No reply fr & m tbe President . The popularity of the Archduke is quite gone . The people are tired of the farce of a ' Central Power , ' and both Assembly and Government , it seems likely , will soon drop to pieces .

      THE STRUGGLE IN PRUSSIA . i . CAN IT BE TBUK ? A report is current in Berlin that the English Envoy his communicated to the King a private despatch from Lord Palmerston , wherein his lordship approves of the steps taken by t £ e Crown , sa far as regards ihe point of right and legality , and wherein Lord Palmerston also recumsiends the Prussian Crows or Cabinet to adhere strictly and firmly , not to what may be termed its rights , but to the legal and temperate execution of these r gats .

      Berus , Nov- 20 . —Addresses from municipalities and district * in support of tbe Assembly are arriving every hour ; the mere list of them would nearly fill a cohrnn . Today brings ths arrival cf the same deputation from Cologne , from the municipality of that city , wheee demands forced frem the King the concessions of the fatal 17 th of March . They now demssd the immediate dismissal of the Brandenburg Ministry , or they cannot answer for the peace of the Rhine provinces , already excited by the execution of Robert Blum . They were to have their audience this afternoon * Silesia is described aa being in a complete ferment The Chief President of the province , Finder , has published a proclamation , declaring his reraraition of the resolution of the Assembly relative

      to the non-payment of taxes , aad stating if he is called on to act according to that resolutios he shall be prepared to do so . He has communicated to the Ministry bis opinion , that the vote was forced from the Chamber as the only defence possible against the nncenstitational measures of the Ministry : but any anarchical or republican attempts againat public order and the constitutional monarchy he will put down instantly—the solution of the question must be a peaceful one . As a consequence of his letter it is understood he is dismissed from his effios . The Judges of . the Court of Appeal [ Appellations gericht ) have decided by a majsrity that they onset during the present state of the city hear aoy cases of political prosecutions . The military auditors , who

      attend court-martials , and are equivalent to our judge-advocate * , have also decidedly refused to exercise their functions in case of civilians being brought before the military courts—they consider they are debarred from doing so by the law of 1815 . To meet the difficulty thus occasioned , General VVrangel has received orders to prsceed iu such oases Recording to the very simplest ferm of trial known' under military law ; in fact , to adopt ths form popularly known as a 'Drum-head Court-martial , ' is whieh bo evidence need be taken is writing . It is reported that General Wrsugel has token possession of several houses in positions that command the chief points for barricades , whioh could be occupied instantly as military posts , and render the defence of those points impossible . Erery building belonging to the government is converted into bar

      * S IXCITEMBHT IN THS BHBRTBH PROVISOES . Numerous placards , strongly in favour ef tha National Assembly , were posted in the main streets of Cologne os the 21 st sit ; One of them contained an appeal to thelasdwehr , urging tbem to draw thesword is support of the threatened liberties of the country . The chief editor of the Nbue ' Siieiskchk Zsituho ssd Dr Schneider , the president of the democratic * union ( and who is also a major in the civic guard ) , were summsned before tbe judicial authorities on the charge of having openly excited the people to rebellion . They did sot , however , appear . At a crowded popular meeting held os the afternoon of the 21 st in the well-knows Eisenchen Saal . it wasreselred to form a free corps , composed of individuals sot belong *

      ing to the civic guard or the Landwebr . Numbers of persona were enrolled . Oa the 20 ih the civio guard ofDosseldorfsnd the Landwebr of the district forwarded energetic addresses to the National Assembly stating that they were prepared for tbe contest at the call of thst Assembly . The following is aa extract from the address ef the civic guard : — ' The time for passive resistance has gone by . We beseech the National Assembly to issue the cry , 'Te arms !' Cast your eyes os Vienna , and delay so longer , or freedom ia raised . ' Military measures have bees already takes is Bosn to enforce the payment of taxes . The intelligence from Dssseldorf is highly important- Tbe receivers ef the taxes on ine and meat

      b * ve declared that they wdl no longer exact them , aud that they will merely keep an account of the quantity of com ground by the mi lew , and of the Cattle slaughtered by the butchers . A more eeritrca atep , cowerw , haa been taken in theabive town , OO 0 which will affect tha German Customs Union io geaersl . At the demand of a deputation of the citiseni , the receivers of the Zillverein tax os goods conveyed by Rhenish vessels op the Rhine have sot esly refused to demand those tsxes , bnt bave declared that they would not voluntarily give up -to their superiors the sums already is tbeir possession , but will , whes ordered to do so , csmmasicste tbe order

      to the civio guard , with the view of enabling the h ' . ter to act as they may deem expedient . The head of the police has also declared tbat he will sbide by the decision of the National Assembly , and will refuse to allow his mas to aid is the leisure and sale of goods for the non-payment of taxes . Great sumbars of oivio guards ha i arrived is Dosseldorf , from the neighbouring towns aud villages , and were all but unanimous iu their determiastios to uphold the National Assembly . Those frem Grafenbnrg came in with two cannons . The burgomaster of Dusseb dorfand tha . commander of the civio guards are war / a partisans of the National Assembly .

      THS HiVEHBNT IK SILVIA . —SSBIOUS ATTITUDE CF thb psoras ,, f Bbeslau Nov . 17 . —As scon as the news of Berlin being declared in a state of siege was known , it excited sreat commotion among all classes . Themagistiates at ones assembled and declared themselves in favosr of the National Assembly , and declaring tbat they deemed the conduct of the ministry illegal , they resolved to disavow their authority . The same evening they sent delegates throughout all Silesia , to make this resolution known , and everywhere it wa ? approved .

This morning he had lined the streets with carbineers and oavalrv and with an air of defiance-was proceeding to onen the Chambers more like a Dictator than a responsible functionary . Those who crowded round the Gateway of the Cancellana ( where the deputies met ) came rather to hiss and hoot than with any saneuinarv project , when , is evil hour , the haughty spirit of the Count euggested to him the fancy , of braving by gesture and exoressios the hatred and hostility of the bystanders ; he confronted them with an exnrcwion

It appears tbat the third fltor ef the building was occupied conjointly by a Mr Edward Res and Mrs Emily Joyce , aod that a female servant did the household work for both parties : On Saturday foresees the inmates were astonished at hearing a very unusual noise in tbe house , and the servant was sent for , to learn the cause . She . returned almoetimraediately afterwards

      and exclaimed' the house is on fire , ' snd left the premises . The engines ef the parish , and London Brigade promptly attended , and on tbe firemen entering the third floor they founds eheat of drawers and some boxss is the . back room wrapped is a body of fire . They immediately set to work , and after some trtub > they were successful in getting the flames extinguished , when tbeir attention was called to the frost roimby seeing smoke pouring forth from under the doorway . Having opened the door , tbey found another box of clothes blazing sway with tbe greatest impetuosity , that fire having also been subdued , an examination was made to ascertain the cause , when Mr Braidwocd saw quite sufficient to satisfy himself tbat they were two ; distinct fires , and had been wilfully ceased by tome malroious person .

Such conduct was highly calculated to excite an unfavourable opinion as to the mode in which the moneys voted for their use were disbursed .

      'Capturb or as Illicit Dismlmbt aud Extraob - DitfABr Ei cape . —On Saturday lasts seieure of as illicit distillery was made under rather peculiar circumstance ? , by the officers of Exoisa , assisted by the police . . From information received , Mr Daniel Colquhous ( Suoervisor of the . Stepney district ) , with Mr John Vansome and Mr Edward Thomas , officers of the rame district , accompanied by police constable , 70 H . proceeded to No . 52 , Phcaaix Street . Spitelfields . As examination of the exterior of the premises having been made , it was resolved that Mr Ojlquhonn and the police constable should guard the frost- of the ihouse while Mr Vansome and Mr Thomas should endeavour to tfleet as entrance at the back . A passage , separated Npi . 51 and 52 , and

      having forced opes a door which feu to a large yard at the back , they saw . three men rush into it in great baste from No . 52 . ; Mr-Thomas having satisfied himself that a still . was at ftuTwbrk-on the premise ; , oslled out to Mr Vansome , to seeure tbe gate , and thus prevent the men from . escapkg . Two of the men made their way to the gate , but found it fastesed againat tbem , while the other ran to a wall at tbe bottom of the yard , followed by Mr Vansome , up whioh he climbed with great dexterity , and would have sucor-eded in completely clearing it had not Mr Vansome jumped up and seized him by the legs , nor could oaths or threats induce him to relinquish his hold until the ' arrival of the police , whom he called to his assistance ; , In the meantime , thfl

      o ; her two men finding their retreat at the back impeded , ran into the hsute , andlrom thence to the top floor , pursued by Mr Thomas and a police-constable- The men thus finding themselves so nearly in the hacdj of the tffijers , opened the window and fc ; ok really frightful leaps on to an adjoining wall , from thence os to some stablings , and , after passing over several other buildings , finally succeeded in making their escape . Thia daring and perilous ex plait excited the utmost astonishment . The other man having been secured , the officers also gave a woman into custody whom they found on the premises . They then proceeded to search the house , aud found in the back room on the grsnnd floor a copper still , at full work , running off strong spirits , eighty gallons of prepared spirits , upwards of 100 gallons of molasses fermented wash ready for distillation , a

      quantity of yeast , and the usual apparatus tmployed in this contraband trade . The still , utensils , and spirits were conveyed to the Excise warehouse is Broad Street ; the wash waa destroyed . The two prisoners captured gave the names William Hopkins and Ann Murdoch . Whes the male prisoner waa bs ng taken into custody , he was followed by some hundreds of tbe fraternity , and the greatest praise is due to the police constable for bis conduct , as several times a rush was made by the mob for the purpose of tffetting a rescue , but a judicious use of tbe police conaUbieVstaff bad the desired tffeet is preventing them from carrying it into execution . This capture , it is believed , will bave the effect of breaking up a company of illicit distillers which , it appears , from books found on the premiers , has long existed in this neighbourhood , carrying os their trade to % great extent .
