      TRANCE . ( From the Morning Chronicle . ) Paris , Thursday . —The Electoral Law . — The dull a"d interminable discussion on the electoral law , vib ch has been going on for some days past , was , in the sitting of yesterday evening , enlivened by an amendment brought forward by the well-known M . Pierre Leronx . The seventy-third clause of the hill enumerates the crimes- and offences which are to exclude citizens from either being electors or from sitting as representatives in the Legislative Assembly . The Assembly had successively adopted tke different portions of the clause which excludes from seats in tne

      Chamber all individuals condemned at any period of their lives for crimes and felonies , as well asiUt « e condemned for theft , swindling , abuse of confidence , nsurv , and also those interdicted from their mil righte-insane persons . & c . SI . Freslon endeavoured to make an exception in favour of persons who had been afflicted with raetely temporary insanity , and contended with great warmth that several of the most honourable and most useful public men had , at so"ie period * of their lives , been confined for a time in maisonsdesante , but that that was no reason whv thev should for ever afterwards be excluded from ail participation in State affairs . The

      Assembly , however , refused to make any exception , and determined that all persons who had ever been insane should be excluded . Another attempt was matte iu favour of those who had been convicted for theft before the age of sixteen years , but who , if this ia * . v vf ere passed , would find themselves during the whole course of their lives deprived of their civil rights ; and it was contended that it was extremely hard that such persons should be punished perpetually for a crime committed at a period of life when ibey ought not to be held respons ble . The Ass ? snU ' y refused to listen to any such reasoning , and . it c-uce adopted the clause .

      This rigour on the part of the Assembly roused M . Pierre Leroux . He ascended the tribune in a state of great excitement . ' It was , ' said he , * in hearing you pass such a series of Draconian laws that the idea came upon me ( to show you how yoa are abusing your powers ) of proposing that those persc-. 'ib who have been or shaU be condemned for the crime of adulters , shall be incapable of being elected members of the Legislature . ' This proposition was received with loud laughter , bat M . leronx contended that if the principle of exclusion in the case of theft was good , i t was e q uall y g ood in ilat of adultery . He then went on to argue that the principle of exclusion was altogether an

      absurdity . The sovereignty of the people was absolute , and any attempt to restrict the choice of representatives was a violation of that sovereignty . The people was the source of all rights , and of the xiehr of mercy as well as others . With an electoral law , such as the National Assembly now proposed to pass , Jesus Christ himself conid not have been elected a representative of the people . Isaac Newton bad !< een considered as a madman , & c . He concluded by declaring that , in moving for the exclusion of adulterers from the Assembly , his object was to do for families , by branding them , what the Assembly was doing for property in branding thieves .

      A ? . Baze opposed the motion on the ground that there were some offences which are condemned rather by public opinion than by the law , and that this was one of them . M . Billatjlt admitted that adultery was a Grim ? like theft , but it had not the same character , nor the same signification . On this account legislators had always made a difference between such crimes , and a magistrate was not allowed officially to punish the crime of adultery , excepting nn tne complaint of the injured individual .

      M . iEROux made a long reply to this speech , but he was frequently interrupted by the impatience of 'he Assembly , which was anxious to come to the vote . Finding at length that he would not be listened to , he closed bis observations suddenly , sneermgly observing to his interupters , that 'he could understand their baste to come to a vote , for the purpose oi giving an amnesty to the vices of the rich . ' The result was , however , very d iffe ren t from wha t was expected . After two doubtful divisions , par as-is et fere , the Assembly balloted on the question , and to th » . astonishment of every one M . Pierre Leroux ' s amendment was carried by a majority of 57 , the numbers being—for the amendment , 288 ; against it , 229 .

      The Insurgents of June . —Parly of the insurgents of June who had been pardoned have again been arrested by the Commissary of Police of La Chapelle St . Denis , in consequence of their disturbing the neighbourhood at night and simjing seditions songs . Effects ofBugeaud ' s Pacification . —Serious affrays broke out on the 19 th and 20 th ult ., at Lyons . They took place in one of tha principal squares of that city , near a statue of tie People Souverain , ¦ which had been erected some time since , and which , itvas reported among the people , the government was about to remove . On the 19 th , the crowd having broken the windows of the barracks occupied bv the dragoons , a party of the dragoons sallied

      forth , with arms in their hands , and attacked the crowd , among whom a great number were wounded . One man was run through by a sabre , and died on the spot , Ths mob contrived to get one of the officers into a trap , and took him prisoner , but the soldiers contrived to recover him just as he was on the point of being put to death . The Prefect of Lyons has addressed a proclamation to the inhabitants , praying them to aid him in keeping the public peace . The Lyons ( bourgeois ) papers state that the Socialists are doing all they can to irritate the soldiers . It is supposed that these disorders are in consequence of the presence of Mars ' ial Bngeaud at Lyons . The Marshal receives every day anonymous letters threatenine him with death .

      THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE REVOLUTION . ( From the Times . ) Saturday . —The religious ceremony in commemoration of the Revolution of February , has passed off in the most tranquil manner , notwithstanding the vast crowds that thronged the streets . Prom an early hour the strains of military music were heard from the different corps as they were proceeding to their respective destinationB . The weather was fine , though the morning rose in clouds and mist , as i ? nature had also put on her mourning

      for the victims of revolution . The sombre appearance of the heavens passed off , however : and , though some importance "was attached to it by the superstitions , yet it was no less a fact that nearly at the moment when the thunder of artillery announced that the funeral wail , the chant of mourning for the victims of February , the dirge for the dead , was over , and that the TeJDeum , the hymn of joyous thanksgiving , was begun , the clouds began to roll away , and the sun shone forth lrom a serene and cloudless sk v .

      At the hour specified in the programme of the ceremonial , the representatives assembled together in the Salle dela Presidence of the National Assembly ; and exactly at half-past nine o ' clock they , with their president , vice-presidents , and secretaries at their head , put themselves in motion , and , the greater part on foot and decorated with the tricolor sash , edged-with gold fringe , which they wore from right to left , and the rosette also , the distinguishing mark of a deputy , worn at the left bnttonhole , they proceeded at a slow pace to the church . The

      whole of the way through which the representatives passed , —namely . the Pont de la Concorde , the Place de la Concorde , and the Kuede la Concorde , was lined with troops and National Guards alternately ; and of whom a considerable number were stationed towards the Taileries and the extremity of the Rue de Rivoli . From the Place de la Concorde to the Church of the Madeleine , to the right and left , extended a series of lofty pedestals , supporting each a tripod , from whL-h shot forth a sombre flam ? . Similar pedestals were placed at each of the four angles of the Pont de la Concorde .

      The Place de la Concorde bad special symbols of mourning . From the centres of the four compartments into which the place is divided sprang into the air four lofty masts , —from which , but less than half-way up , flsated , in sign of mourning , the colours of the Republic , bat veiled with a mourning crape . The moment the representatives of the peoph bad assumed their places in the church an express despatched to the Palais Elysee informed the

      President of the Republic of the fact ; and in a few moments the roll of carriage wheels and the trampling of horses'feet in the direction of the Rue St . Hon o re , told that the only one whose presence was wanting to complete the assemblage was fast ap preaching The troops that lined the streets along the Rue Faubourg St Honore and the Ru « Royale presented arm ? , and the carriage of Louis Napoleon was seen coming alonz , escorted by a troop of Dragfjons .

      aid was borne along each moment gathering new strength , until he arrived at the steps ofUe _ churct He descended from his carriage , ; P ^ f . ° * single aide-de-camp , and mounted the steps Lareheided , when he was received ^ °££ ™ Madeleine and his clergy . S P o { ^ ^" aM ^ ' '* " * " * Grand in ttTe solemn ceremony for the dead . 'I he service was performed in the impresnve manner so familiar to the ritual of the Catholic Church . The vocal and instrumental music was of the highest merit ; and when t ' r . e Te Deum was chanted m full choir , accompanied by the whole of the instruments , above

      which the solemn swell of the organ heaved forth billows of sound , the effect was truly electric . The com ? d'oitf was not less striking . The mass of representatives whose sad-coloured raiment was relieved by the tricolour scarf—the glitter of the military uniforms—the speaking sadness of the widows and orphans of the victims . of the revolution of February gathered together round the cenotaphthe gorgeous vestments of the Archbishop and his assistant clergy ; the meek and venerable aspect of the pastor himself , whose eyes were filled with tears , as his thoughts wandered to the memory of his martyred predecessor—the thousand lights that blazed

      upon the hig h al t ar , the clouds of incense that floated on high as the light flame was fitfully emitted in an atmosphere of perfume—the wailing sounds that filled the air as the memory of the dead was chanted , and then , t he mos t g lorious of ail , the electric hurst of triumphant sounds that seemed to move the very pillars of the edifice , and to be re . peated from the lofty roof—the thunder of the artillery of the Invalides and the removal ot theensigns of mourning , and the simultaneous hoisting , full mast hieh , on all the public edifices , of the Republican flag—all presented a picture as dificult to describe as it would be to tell the feelings excited

      byit . The service lasted about two hours ; it began at ten o'clock , and at twelve o'clock the troops and Na t ional G uar ds , whose offices were required only daring the service , were on their way to their respective quarters . About ten o'clock a number of persons , from 400 to 500 , with four or five tricoloured flags , were seen coming from the Boulevard de Montmartre . They moved along by threes , and proceeded towards the Madeleine . On the flags were inscriptions , such as ' Vive la Republiqu ? , '' Vive la Liberie , ' and on one was inscribed the words ' Lea Veuves et les Orphelins de Fevrier . ' Around this last banner were

      congregated a number of well-dressed women and children , all in deep mourning , and some holding the cordons , formed of black crape , depending from the flag which was similarly veiled . As soon as they passed the Rue Louis le Grand they were met by a Captain of the Staff , sent by the General of Brigade , from the corner of the Rue de la Paix , he demanded who they were , what they wanted , and whither they were proceeding ? The answer was that theywished to be present at the funeral service at the Madeleine , with the widows and orphans who accompanied them ; but that if any objection existed they would not persevere . The officer , with much courtesy , said that his orders were to prevent anv groups from proceeding in that direction ; they

      must return , or remain where they were . They immediate ! v fell back and separated , after uttering a cry or two of ' Yive la Republic' The body was composed , besides the widows and orphans mentioned , of the wounded of February . They were all of the belter class of workmen , and ware well dressed . There were several National Guards in uniform amongst them . Another body , bat only amounting to about thirty men , passed along the ItueNeuve St . Augustin . They had also a flag , which was borne by a tall black man dressed in military uniform , and wearing on his breast the decoration of the legion of Honour and the medal of July . These were the wounded of July , 1830 . I believe they were allowed to pass , owing no doubt , to tie smallness of their number .

      The Ultra-Democratic and Socialist journals of this morning publish their promised address to the people . The document , which is as follows , is signed by fifty-eight members of that party in the Assembly , and by the editors of all their journals : — ' to the PJtOPLE . ' Citizens , —It is bow a year since the people , in possession of its sovereignty , proclaimed the Republic . The glorious anniversary consecrated by a decree , and become a national fete , will never be effaced from our memory . Our brothers have fallen to achieve the Republic ; let us piously preserve the remembrance of their civic virtues , of their

      devotedness to the country ; and let us renounce for this time the religious idea ot going collectively to deposit on the tombs of those martyrs our tribute of gratitude and of admiration . The enemies of the Republic will hypocritically celebrate this day . Let us give them no pretext in their implacable hatred ; let us know how to resist all their provocations , and confide in the justice of our cause . The distress cf commerce has produced frightful misery ; popular manifestations , even the most legitimate and the most pacific , would give a fresh occasion for

      accusing the Republicans of this universal , stagnation . Our resignation will serve to prove that the evil has other sources , and the government will be no longer able to conceal the powerlessness of its system to re-establish public prosperity . Let us not render ourselves the accomplices of those odious falsehoods which throw on the people the responsibility of the misery which exists . Let us , in fine , show who are the friends of order , and who are its enemies . We beseech all Republicans to abstain from any solemn manifestation which may give an advantage to the enemies of the evolution . '

      Great Ban < iuet . —On Sunday , a banquet attended by upwards of twelve hundred of the friends of the 'Republique Demotratique et Sociale , ' took place in Paris . Ledru Rollin , Pierre Leroux , Lamennais , and all the principal members of the Mountain took part in the proceedings , which were characterised by unbounded enthusiasm , and the expressed determination of all present to struggle for the triumph of the ' Republique Democratique et Sociale . '

      manifestations m the departments . ( From the Daily News . ) Tuesday . —The anniversary of the revolution has been the occasion of disorders in the provinces , intelligence of some of which has arrived in Paris . The following appears in the Moniteur of this morning : —* At Clamecy 500 or 600 men paraied the town , preceded by drums and banners , crying ' Vive Raspail ! ' ' Vive le Montague V * Vive la guillotine ! ' 'A has les culottes ! ' * A has les tyrans ! ' and did not discontinue their disorders until they learned that a detachment of troops had been sent for . At Toulouse the Prefect suspended two companies of the National Guard who had defended the bonnet rouge . At Auch , some of the National Guards , with their officers , paraded the to ^ n , uttering unlawful cries , but were suspended

      by the Prefect . At Dijon , the authorities seized some bullets recently cast , and powder . Two persons were arrested . At La Guillotiere the rioters had set up the bonnet rouge and the Prefect had ordered the municipal authorities to take it down . In the department of the Drome the maires having refused their assistance to remove this emblem of disorder , the Prefect , attended by some troops , had tffected it . At Carcassone the same thing occurred . At Narbonne the members of a club of the republique rouge insulted by an indecent pasquinade' the President of the Republic . A similar outrage was inflated on the lieutenant of the Horse National Guard , who is known as an energetic defender of order . Troops were sent into Narbonne , where more disorders were expected on the 25 th , but which were prevented by this demonstration .

      The Infamous Government . —It is stated that the President of the Republic , and the majority of the Ministers , have decided that the envoys sent to Paris by the Roman Republic shall not be received by the French government . —Times . No Amnesty . —The Committee of Just ' ce has recommended the rejection of M . La Grange ' s proposition for a general amnesty . The Appkoaching State Trials . —The Moniteur publishes a notice signed by M . Berenger , the president of the High Court of Justice , commanding that the trial of the authors and accomplices of the attack of the 15 th May shall take place at Bourges on the 7 th of March next , a t ten o ' clock in the morning .

      The Ruling ' Conspirators . — The Citizen D'Alton Shee who was arrested on the 30 th of January , and who has at length been set at liberty , has addressed the following letter , dated the 23 rd , to the « P « sse ' : — ' I was arrested on the morning of the 30 th ult . on a warrant from the Prefect of Police , under a charge of conspiracy tending to excite civil war , distribution of arras , & c . Yesterday , the 22 nd , I was set at liberty , in con s equence of i ts bein g

      Trance. (From The Morning Chronicle.) Pa...

      found that the charge was unfounded . As I nave already stated , the seizure and examination of all my papers could not furnish the authorities with any document of a suspicious character . After twentyfour days' researches , they bave not been able to produce a single witness , or to discovei a single accomplice . The ministry have announced in the Chamber and in its journals the ex stenee of a Socialist plot , which had been thwarted by its energy aad by the bravery of General Changamier . The government set on foot a long and minute inquiry , aided by all the resources of arbitrary power . What

      has resulted from it ? Three arrests and three liberations ; in a word—nothing . The representatives of the people will , in their turn , have a duty to perform . A committee has under consideration a proposition for an inquiry into the events of Jan . 29 th . To-morrow , perhaps , the discussion will take place . Let not ths National Assembly be afraid to examine whether there was a conspiracy , and who are the guilty parlies . To arrive at a knowledge of the truth , it will neither require preventive arrests nor difficult investigation ; it will onl y have to induce certain of its members to speak , and the others to listen . '

      L . A . Blanqui has addressed a letter to the editor of the ' People , ' dated ' Donjon de Vincennes , ' on Monday , in which he slates that on Sunday last , the last day allowed by law , he was served with a copy of the depositions taken against him , but he has not received a copy of the indictment on which be is to be tried . The consequence of such neglect , he adds , will be to render all delence impossible . The object of the prosecution , he says , is to enable the Royalists , while they are sacrificing in the name of the Republic its oldest defenders , to overthrow that same Republic against which they are conspiring in the face of the country . It is understood , however , that the copy of the indictment , of the non-service of which Blanqui complains , was communicated to him on Monday night .

      GERMANY . FRANKFORT . —After a Iang debate the National Assembly voted , on the 20 th ultimo , the first and second sections of the law of election . They , are as follows . — ' Every German of irreproachable character , who has passed his twenty . fifth year , is an elector . Persons are excluded from the franchise wheu they stand under guardianship or trusteeship , when they are legally declared in a state of bankruptcy and insolvency , and when tbey are in the leceipt of relief from public or communal establishments , or when they have received such relief during the twelve months preceding the elections . The words ' irreproachable character' ware voted by a majority of 237 to 224 ; but , on the other hand the words' every independent German' were rejected by a minority of 422 to 21 ,

      PRUSSIA . —Intelligence has been received of the death of Prince Waldemar of Prussia , at Monster , where he had been residing for a long period , suffering from a painful disease , that le / t no hope of recovery . The young prince was present at all the operations of the campaign against the Sikhs , under LordHardinge . The prince died at the age of 32 . He was a son of Prince William of Prussia , the uncle of the present king . Berlin . —The new deputies had nearly all arrived to take tteir seats on the 25 th ult . The Democrats , it was believed , would propose M . Unruh as their candidate for the Presidency of the Second Chamber .

      AUSTRIA . —Th « Austrian Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional matters has finished its labours and sent in its report , with a draught of the plan of the Constitution of the empire . That plan is very liberal , and almost democratic , and has a tendency to federal priaciples . The empire is to consist of ten ' crown lands , ' with a governor , an administration , and a Diet to each of them . The Diets are proposed to sit for two months in the year , and a general Diet is to assemble at Vienna . That general Diet is to consist of two houses or chambers ; the parliamentary duration of the Lower Chamber is fixed for a period of two years , and that of the Upper for six . The draught gives the Emperor the usual prerogative of executive power . Each province is to have a separate financial administration .

      Vienna . — The * Times' correspondent states that the fortress of Komorn was corapletely surrounded on the 23 d ult . General Simunicb , who conducted the siege , succeeded in cutting off a party of 2 . 000 Hungarians , who had sallied for a foray , though iie could not capture them . As they cannot return to the fortress , they will most likely disperse . Nevertheless , there is little hope of a sp eed y surre n der of t he m ai den f o r t res s , for even the shutting her up was a task which it has taken above two months to complete . The lessening of the garrison of Komorn may indeed counterbalance many of its natural advantages . The fortress is extremely well provisioned , and its situation is such that the besieging batteries can take no effect on its battlements .

      ENTRANCE OF THE RUSSIANS INTO TRANSYLVANIA . Vienna , Ffb . 21 . —No slight commotion was created yesterday , by ths arrival of a courier . from Transylvania , reporting the defeat of Bern ' s army , and the occupation of Cronstadt and Hermanstadt by Russian troops . 6 , 000 men entered the former place on the 1 st , and 4 , 000 the latter on the 4 th ult . According to their own bulletins the Austrians give no quarter ! Aecounts from Pesth speak of sympathy manifested by the Jews for Kossuth ' s party . Sixty cartloads of forage and military stores , provided by that people , were intercepted on their road to Dehrecsin , and this subsequent to the edict published by Prince Windischgratz , levying a fine of 20 , 000 florins on all the Hebrew communes detected in making common cause with the Magyars .

      ITALY . THE ROMAN REPUBLIC . The Roman clergy having refused to officiate at a Te Deum p ? rfornied in St . Peter of the Vatican on the 11 th ult ., mass was celebrated by a military chaplain , assisted by soldiers bearing torches . The representives ol the people were present . The President of the Roman Constituent read , at the sitting of the 11 th ult ., a letter from M . Mamiani , tendering his resignation of the functions of representative ; which was accepted by the Assembly . The Minister of War next communicated a despatch from the Prefect of Bologna , announcing that most

      of the Swiss soldiers had adhered to the new convention he had signed with General Latour , and that they would continue to serve the Roman Republic . On the same day M . Arme'lini informed the Assembly that the Government Committee had accepted the mission confided to it , but demanded to be ass i sted by responsible Ministers . After some discussion the proposition of M . Armellini was acceded to by 77 votes . On the 12 th ult ., M . Tornaboni moved , and the Assembly decreed , that Joseph Mazzvni be invited to R me , and that the title of citizen be conferred on him . M . Sterbini next presented the following project oi law : — «

      ' 1 . The laws shall be made and justice rendered in the name of God and the people . All the laws and public acts are to be headed in that form . ' 2 . The flag of the Roman Republic , shall be tricoloured ( Green , Red , and White ) , with an eagle in the centre . 1 3 . All public functionaries , civil and military , are relieved from their oath to the government abolished . ' This decree was voted by acclamation . In the sitting of the Roman Constituent Assembly of the 13 tb , ths Minister Sterbini , in the name of

      the Minister of Finance , presented a bill providing that all ecclesiastical property shall henceforward belong to the State , and that all alienation of the said propei ty , whe t her real or moveabl e , sh a ll b e considered null and void . A project was moved by Deputy Tantini to the same effect , but directing also that proper provision should he made for the support of public worship , and that the estates ot the Church shall be granted to agriculturists upon a ground rent . The 1 st . and 3 rd . articles of the Ministerial measure were voted by urgency ; the remainder , with the counter project , were sent to the Committees .

      The Executive Committee bad accredited M . Boni envoy to Switzerland , M . Torricelli to Sicily , and M . Feliciani to Piedmont . The Committee of the Constituent Assembly to which the proposition of M . Pianciani relative to the convocation of the Italian Constituent on the 10 th of March had been referred , had agreed to it , but suggested that the appeal be made to the existing government and not to the people , and that the convocation of the Italian Constituent be postponed until the 15 th of March . The Constituent adopted tbe following resolution on the 14 th : — ' The Roman republic recognises the public debt as national and inviolable ., M . Bonaparte alone voted against it . The new coinage is to issue forthwith , with a helmeted head of Rome » nd tho » n .. i . i : t .

      On the obverse , an eagle volant , civic wreath , and consular fasces .

      At Perugia , a popular rising took place , the ohject of which was the demolition of the Dominican prison of the Holy Inquisition , the gates of which they fractured and burnt in the square , the mob haviwr seized and put under seal all the papers or documents of the concern . The National Guard , bein g called ou t , highly applauded what was done , and joined in the onslaught . AUSTRIAN INVASION OF THE ROMAN

      STATES . Advices from Ferrara of tbe 18 th ult . state that the Austrians had passed the Po at several points , and that 10 , 000 had presented themselves before Ferrara . _ .

The delivery up of the murderers of the three Austrian soldiers lately killed at Ferrara . 2 . The delivery up of the gate of the town . 3 . The destruction of all barricades . 4 . The re-establisment of the arras of the Pope . 5 . The payment of 200 , 000 scudi in twenty-four hours . At the same tithe the general added that the end of the intervention was the putting down the Roman republic .

      The ' Patrie' ( Paris journal ) , after reporting the above intelligence , adds that the Austrians were marching upon Rome . TUSCANY . —Registers have been opened in each munici p ality to receive the names of volunteers for the national defence .

Three English ships-of-war remain in the roads of St . Stephano , and are placed at the disposal of the Grand Duke . It is reported that the Grand Duke has sent a formal request ta the King of Sardinia for his assistance to upset the Provisional Government , and to replace him on his throne . By a decree of the 14 th ult ., the Provisional Government of Tuscany directs that Tuscany shall send thirty-seven deputies to Rome for the Italian Constituent Assembly .

      PROCLAMATION OF THE REPUBLIC IN TUSCANY . A letter from Florence , of the 18 th ult ., announces that the Republic wai proclaimed there on that day , and a tree of liberty planted . The streets were filled by tha population wearing the red cockade . The government had assumed the title of Provisional Covers n-. ent of the Roman Republic in Tuscany . It is composed of Guerrazzi , Montanelli , and Zannetti , Commander of the National Guard . Mazzini had left Florence for Rome , in : order to effect a fusion of the two stales .

      The Provisional Government of Tuscany had resolved to despatch special commissioners to the provinces for the purpose of ' awakening the generous sentiments of the nation , securing all the available ways and means , and facilitating the equipment of the National Guards and the enrolment of volunteers . ' The commissioners are to receive a monthly stipend of 200 Florentine lire . Their names are as follows : —Dr . Lorenzo Panattoni , Dr . Lorenzo Fabbrucci , M . Lerami , M .

People fulfil your glorious destinies . Reflect that Rome is your ca « pital , and Italy your country . It was your right which gave you the empire , and it was God which consecrated it . Italy for ever 1 The Republic for ever!—Leghorn , February 19 , 1849 . The Governor , CARLO PIGLI . '

The new assembly is convoked for the 15 th ult . The popular irritation against the Swiss in Italy has attained a high degree at Venice . On the 29 th January the clubs of that city called on the government to expel all the Swiss , if within a month the Swiss troops had not quitted Naples , and tf the measures taken against the Italian refugees by the federal council were not revoked .

      NAPLES . —The Alba of Florence , under date of Gaeta , the 10 th ult ., says , A secret consistory has lately been held , at which tbe Holy Father and the Cardinals attended . It was decided to demand openly an armed intervention of Austria , France , Spain , and Naples , to the exclusion of Piedmont . The object of this intervention is to restore the Pope . ' The address to the king for the dismissal of the ministry was carried by a majority of 74 to 26 , on the 12 th , and was to be presented by a deputation .

      THE CONGRESS ON THE AFFAIRS OF ITALY . It appears that the rumours afloat with respect to the determination of Austria to abide by ' the treaties of 1815 , are correct . Count Colloredo had several non-official interviews with Sir Henry Ellis and M . de Legrane , in which he informed them that he was in possession of full powers to take part in the name of Austria in the Contereaces at Brussels , but that if the object of these conferences was in any way to titer the treaties of 1815 , it was almost useless to open the Congress , as Austria was firmly resolved to run the chances of war ra < hei than to

      allow herself to be deprived of her Italian possessions , which were secured to her by the final act of Vienna . Count Colloredo therefore recommended to M . Lagrene to inform his government exactly of the true intentions of Austria , and to aak M . Drouyn de Lhuys for fresh instructions for the moment when the Congress would definitively meet . As regards England , Count Colloredo is now in London , for the purpose of delivering his credentials , as Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of St . James ' s . He has undertaken to state verbally to Lord Palmerston the intentions of the Austrian Cabinet .

      The more the question of the Brussels Congress is examined , with calmness and impartiality , the more clearly will one arrive at the conclusion that the conferences , especially after the . xecent turn affairs have taken in Central Italy , have become superfluous , and that the mediating Powers , so far from , contributing by them to the . union of Italy and the preserva t ion of the p eace of Euro p e , are only preparing for themselves the humiliation of a ridiculous failure . ' La Presse' announces that the Congress at Brussels has been indefinitely adjourned , and that in consequence M . Lagrene , the Plenipotentiary appointed to represent' the French Republic , had returned to Paris .

      MARCH OF THE RUSSIANS-PROBABILITY OF A GENERAL WAR !!! The ' Assemblee Nationale' of Tue sd a y , says : — ' The Bourse was alarmed to-day by the official news oi the departure of the Russian Imperial Guard from St . Petersburg . That guard is composed of 52 , 000 select troops : they had not quitted St . Peterburgh since 1831 , the period of the great war against Poland . The imperial gnard has already arrived at Wilna , and on the 1 st of March will be on the extreme frontier . Where are all these immense forces going ?'

      SPAIN . The International of Bayonne , of the 20 th ult ., quotes a letter from Catalonia , stating that General Lersundi defeated on the 13 th , at Recessens , the Progresista bands , commanded b y Ametler , with the loss of ten killed and fifty prisoners . Among the latter were the Intendant Joaristi , the Cahecilla Molins , Monchini , and six other superior officei 8 . Ametler , closly pursued by the Queen ' s troops , escaped into France . He was arrested at Sorede by the French authorities , and removed to Perpignan , with thirty of his followers , under a strong escort .

The truly wonderful powers of this remedy have called forth testimonials from all ranks of society , in all quarters of the world . The following have been just received : — important Testimonial from the Itev . Otven Thomas , Holyhead . Dear Sir , —Dr . Locock's Wafers do a great deal of good to my voice . I got a bad cold from a damp bed about thirty-five years ago , and my voice had been very bad ever since , giving great pain to me when preaching or singingand I am very fond of singing . I used many different medicines , and some of them did good for a " little time , but Dr . Locock ' s is the best of all—it clears my voice , and stops the coughing instantly . I h ' avo never found anything yet to compare with it . I have been thirty-three years a Wcsleyan minister , and all the Wesleyau Methodists in the principality know me ; twenty years of which I have lived at Holyhead , and I am known personally to all the first men of that body , many of whom have admired the effects of the Wafers in cleaving the voice and stopping the cough —they never got such medicine before . My wife , ever since Christmas , has been very well after taking two boxes . I am a witness of their power to stop a frightful fit of couglung in an instant . I , as a Wesleyan preacher , call upon all preachers and singers of every denomination to take these wafers for improving the voice and curing coughs . You may publish my testimonial for the excellent ' . Wafersifyouwish . —lam , yours truly , Owen TnoHis . — October 9 th , 1847 . ANOTHER KAPID CURE OF FOURTEEN YEARS ' ASTHMA . From Mr . J . E . Bignell , Holyhcad-road , Wedneshury , ad dressed to Mr . Ledbury , Surgeon , there : — Sin , —When I had the first box of Dr . Locock ' s Wafers from you I was labouring under one of those attacks of asthma to which I have been subject now for about fourteen years . I have had the best medical advice the neighbourhood could afford , including two physicians at Birmingham , and one at Wolverhampton , but with no success . My breathing was so very difficult that I expected every respiration to be my last ; as for sleep' that was impossible , and had been so for several weeks . The first dose ( only two small wafers ) gave me great relief , the second more so ; in short , the first Sox laid the ground-work for the cure , which only four hoxes have effected , and I am now quite well . —I remain , sir , your most obliged , J . E . Bigxell . September Gth , 1847 . IMPORTANT TO ALL WHO SING . From S . PearsaU , Esq ., Her Majesty ' s Concerts , and Vicar Choral of Lichfield Cathedral . Gentlemen . — A lady of distinction having pointed out to me the quaUties of Dr . Locock ' s Wafers , I was induced to make u trial of a box , and from this trial I am happy to pj ive my testimonial in-their favour . I find by allowing a tavr of the wafers ( taken in the course of ths day ) to gradually dissolve in the mouth , my voice becomes brijrht and clear , and the tone full and distinct . They are decidedly the most efficacious of any I have ever used . — Samuel . Pearsall . —Lichfield , July 10 th , 1845 . The ' particuLirs of many hundred cures maybe had from every agent throughout the Kingdom and on the Continent . Dr . Locock ' s Wafers give instant relief , and are a rapid cure of asthmas , consumption , colds , and all disorders of the breath and lungs , & c .

It shows clearly the manner in which the baneful consequences of this indulgence operate on the economy iu the impairment and destruction of the social and vital powers .

State , and of tbe causes which lead ° to the happiness or misery of those who have entered into the bonds of matrimony .

The operation of certain disqualifications is fully examined , and infelicitous and unproductive unions shown to be the necessary consequence .
