      France. Nothing Was Talked About On Satu...

      FRANCE . Nothing was talked about on Saturday but the severe cheek which the ministers received the day before , by the defeat of tbeir intention to bring forward the law of majors before the recess . The influence of the government over the municipalities is strenuously resisted by the leg itimists , who uphold the franchises of the communes , not from any love to freedom , but because they feel that here lia >

      the stronghold of their own power . It was in accordance with this opinion that the legitimist reporter of the committee , M . Laboulte , drew up a jeporfc so unfavourable to the governments mu . The union which prevails on thissubject . throug hout all shades of the legitimist party was evinced with remarkable clearness ; and it became evident tbat by a coalition with the Left they could at any moment defeat the government . . Tfai ? has been often apprehended but seldom showa ra so striking a

      Paris Sdnba ? . —The bill fwihe further restriction of the liberty of the press in France , after having been allowed to lie "dormant for some months , has been resuscitated . M . de Chasseloup-Laubat , who drew up the repast of the committee , yesterday presented it to the Assembly . The following are the principal points of difference between the bill as ori g inally presented by the government , and that now laid before the Assembly by ii . Chasseloup-Laubat . .

      In the engine ! bill the caution-money was declared to be fised in the departments of the Seine , Seine-et—Marne , Seine-ekOise , and the Rhone , as fellows . — * If the journal is published more than twice . a week , either on fised days or irregularly , the caution-money shall be-SejOOOf . jit shall be 40 000 . if the joarnalis . published only twice a week ; and 20 , 000 f . if the journal only appears once a week , or at greater intervals' The committee proposes that when the journal ' appears more than three tinies a week , the caution-money shall be 24 . 000 f .,

      « nd if only three times a week , or less , 18 . 000 . Again , the government bill went on to say : — ' The Caution-money . of jowmals appearing more than twice a week in the departments , other than those Of the Seine , Seine-ei-Marne , Seine-et-Oise , and the Rhone , shall be . f fl . OOOf . for towns of 50 . 000 inhabitants and over ; 12 , 000 / . for less considerable towns ; and , respectively , the half of these two sums for journals or periodical publications appearing , at most , twice a week . ' Here the committee seduces the amount to 6 , 000 f . and 3 , 600 f ., and to one-half of these amounts in the cases just

      specified . . The bill of the committee also contains several articles to regulate the keeping up of the full amount of caution-money in cases of fine . With respect to the stamp-duty , the government bill declared tbat' within fifteen days after the promulgation of the present bill a fixed stamp-duty shall se imposed on journals and periodical publications go matter what may be their size . It shall be 4 c the sheet on periodical journals , publications , " or engravings of less than two leaves of impression , published in the departments of the Seine , Seine-et-Oise , Seine-ei-Marne , and Rhone , and in the arrondissements containing a town of 50 , 000 inhabitants , or over . Tbe jouroa ' s and otber periodical

      publications published elsewhere shall pay a stamp-duty of 2 c the sheet . ' The bill of the committee proposes to say , that after July 15 all journals or periodical publications of less than ten leaves of thirty-two centimetres square , or less than five leaves of from sixty-nine to seventy-two decimetres square , shall pay a duty of 6 c . in tbe departments Of the Seine and tbe Seine-et-Oise , and 2 c . every * where else . The payment of this duty will enable journals to be sent free , those paying 6 j . all over tbe territory of the Republic , and ( boss paring 2 c . within the department where they ? are published , and tbe departments touching it on every side . All

      journals which are to be sent beyond these latter limits must pay 4 c additional . In Paris lc . will be remitted when the journal is distributed at the cost of the proprietor . Tbe exceptions to ' these : regulations are to be scientific and religious works , periodicals devoted to educational purposes , & c . The majority in favour of Mr . Roebuck ' s motion was announced to the public here last ni ght , by a telegraphic despatch , published in the ministerial papers . Singularly enough the figure , forty-six , coincides exactly with the conservative majority of the French ministers upon tbeir cabinet question of { he dotation .

      The 'Siecle was seized yesterday , in consequence of an article alluding to the old affair of M . Teste , and drawing parallels which reflected on the government . The' Siecle' is io be prosecuted for exciting to hatred of the authorities . A duel with swords has just taken place at Versailles between M . Clary and M . Valentin , the Montagnard representative , in consequence of some re ' marks on M . Valentin , in a letter , addressed by M . Clary , to the' Monitenr . ' II . Valentin , received a severe but not dangerous wound in tbe thi g h . The seconds of M . Clary were , General de Graramont and Captain Agme ; those of M . Valentin , M . Scboslcher and M . Bruckner . 'I / Ami du People , ' a Socialist paper published at Pay , Haute Loire , and prosecuted for a seditious libel has been acquitted . by the jury .

      The directors of the' Emancipation de Toulouse have also been acquitted . The printer of Ledru Rollin ' s pamphlet , ' Le 13 Jain , ' has been sentenced to three months'iuprison . stent and costs , for having affixed a fictitious name and address to the publication . "Wednesday . —Accounts from Rennes , Brittany , state that in consequence of a violent bail-storm all the crops of wheat , oats , tobacco , and rape for three leagues in that nei g hbourhood have been totally destroyed , and , at the same time ,. three honses thrown down by a whirlwind . General Fabvier has presented a proposition to the National Assembly to the effect that Abd-el-Kader shall be forthwith transferred . to Alexandria or St . Jean d'Acre , in virtue of the convention made with bim .

      The' director of tne ' National * was sentenced by . the Police Court of Paris , on Tuesday , to imprisonment for three months and to . pay a fine of 200 francs for . having announced a subscription to pay a fine imposed on a Socialist journal . The Presidents and secretaries of the standing committees of the National Assembly were nominated on Tuesday . They are all Conservatives .

      GERMANY : The number of political journals proscribed the use of the past-office in Prussia is still increasing . In the district of Monster this privilege has been withdrawn from the ' Westphalain Volksballe and the Wochenblatt . ' In the Bromberg district no paper has been struck , the' Bromberg Volksblatt , ' the only opposition journal there published having recently abjured the discussion of political questions . In the Koni gsberg district , the * Oestpreus-Eischen Schulboten' has been excluded from tbe post-office . Some of the . above papers have announced their discontinuance after certain dates .

      * AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . VIENNA , Juke 27 . —The political organisation for Croatia , and Slavonia , and tbe military frontier , are published . The former are to be entirely separated from Hungary . The ancient dignity of the Ban is to be retained . The Slavonic is to remain the official language . Tbe Croats and Slavonians are highly praised for their loyalty and good services in 1849 . The military frontier is to retain its ancient character . Some sli ght alterations are made in the internal management .

      RUSSIA . Reports are in circulation , both in Berlin and Vienna , that the Emperor of Russia intends , on the 1 st of December , next , to abdicate-in favour Of his son the Hereditary Grand Prince Alexander . GREECE . There are reports of a ministerial crisis . The josraal « Patris ' has been been confiscated . New and more severe press-laws are expected . The treaty of trade with Russia bas been promulgated .

      THE INSURRECTION IN BULGARIA . Advices have been received in Vienna from Semlin to the / 21 st ult . Tbe outbreak of an insurrection ia Bulgaria is confirmed . The insurgents attacked the fortress Belgradeicza on the 15 th ult ., hut were repulsed with soaie loss by the grrrison . On a subsequent attack they appear to have gained possession of the fort . One account , which i g on the face of it exaggerated , says that 40 , 000 men

      « r « underarms . The cause of the insurrection is aaid by one account to be the discontent of the people , in consequence of the exactions and oppression of the Turkish government officers . Another account ascribes it to Russian machination . The principal leader is a certain A . Raseba > The chiefs have assembled at Bclgradeiczi , and have drawn up a statement of the demands . It is said to be very noderateand just Greek priests are reported to be connected with the povemeot .

      According to another account tbe ^ Pacha of W . ddio having collected a bodyof troops , attached the insurgent peasants near . that place upon-the 18 th ult , and aftercutting down about 500 dispersed the remainders It is'supposed ; tbts aftair will put an end to the rebellionV- The game ^ cconnta mention tbat ; 6 mf ¥ Pacba . ^ , ^ ered BoMja w , th 20 000 men , and expected to crush tbe rebellion in a short time . The death of Tabic Pacha ( not to be confounded with the-celebrated and patriotic ex-Grand Admiral ) is also announced , and- 'it-is added that bis demise will factfitste tie means el tranquilHeing the land .

      PORTUGAL . . We have letters from Lisbon -of the 29 th « lt ., oa which day the Portuguese Gabinet was aboat to call a Council of State upon the American claims , which Mr , Clay , the United States ' Charge d'Affaires , had declared must "be satisfied . by the lltbof July , or he / should demand bis passports . Oar correspondent enters at length into some of the claims , amounting to about 330 , « a 00 dob , and states

      that there is no chance of the Portuguese government admitting one half that sura . . The-War Department at Lisbon bad placed cannon and munitions of war in the forts at the entrance of the Tagns . Britishriaims were also pouting in . upon Portugal , and Lord Pahaertton bad made a demand insisting upon the faithful execution of the treaty of commerce with reference to the differential duty levied upon port wine for the English market . — Times .

      EGYPT . ALEXANDRIA , Jvsb 18 . —On the 9 th inst . the Viceroy Abbas Pacha came down from Cairo , and on the * following day put to sea with three steamers for the island of Rhodes to pay his respects to the'Sultan , who was known to he there and who waited for his Hig hness a few days . After performing quarantine Abbas Pasba was received in the most flattering manner by the Sultan , who may well be pleased with so subservient : a subject . His Turkish Majesty presented the Viceroy with a

      decoration , and'the latter made over to him the fine screw-steamer Sharkeeyeh , which was so much admired in England , with all her appointments complete , every description of stores and provisions , a valuable hnrse and richly embroidered saddle , and £ 5 U , 000 sterling in hard dollars . One of the fans of the screw of the Sharkeeyeh is broken , and she bad to be towed to Rhodes ; but a new fan is expected from England , which will ba sent to Constantinople . On the Sultan leaving Rhodes with the Turkish fleet Abbas Pasba returned to Alexandria , having been away a week altogether .

      INDIA AND CHINA . CATASTROPHE AT BENARES . A terrific . explosion took place at Benares , in India , by which upwards of 1 , 000 lives were lost . A fleet of thirty-five' boats , containing government ordnance stores , amongst which were 3 , 000 barrels ( 330 , 0001 bs . ) of gunpowder , arrived at Benares en route to the upper provinces on the afternoon of the 1 st of May , and were moored off the Raj Ghaut ( tbe principal landing place of the city , ) in the centre of the town .. A little after ten p . m . one of these boats caught fire , and immediately after the whole exploded , sinking all the boats near the landing place , and destroying or injuring every one

      within a certain range . By the latest accounts tbe killed and wounded amounted to 1 , 200 , ' , but more were continually being disinterred by the 300 men at work in removing the ruins . The Raj Ghaut Hotel , the Begum ' s Palace , and the Mansion House are amongst the principal buildings destroyed , and the missionary ' s wife , the Begum and her family , are amongst the victims . On the river , all the thirty-five ordnance boats were sunk or destroyed , together with twenty-ei ght boats laden with beer , the property of Messrs . Crump and Co ., of Cawnpore , and also twelve or fifteen laden with mer " chandise belonging to natives . The crews of these boats have , with very few exceptions , perished .

      The European who was in charge of Messrs Crump and Co . ' a boats , escaped , being pulled insensible out of the water : his wife and famil y perished . A court of inquiry is sitting , but the conductor in charge is supposed to be almost the only survivor to tell the tale . Mitch of the sunken ordnance stores , field-pieces , & c , are supposed to be recoverable . The magistrates and other authorities have exerted themselves to the utmost . 300 prisoners were employed immediately in exhuming the sufferers . ' The flagrant impropriety of intrusting so large a flotilla of such a character to an irresponsible understrapper , and of aHowing it to be moored close to the quays of a densely-populated city , is much commented on by the Indian papers . ;

      The downward tendency of the Nizam ' s affairs appears daily more marked , and the speedy seizure for debt by the English government of the valley of Bec » n is confidently anticipated . The China papers of the last month are barren of incident . Business is reported rather dull . The pirate chief Shap'igtsai ( whose fleet was recently destroyed by the English men-of-war in the Gulf of Tonquin ) had given in bis submission to the Chinese government on terms which secured office to himself and his lieutenants , and amnesty for his followers . He is now a mandarin of the fifth grade . His followers are pardoned , and ' affectionately admonished to return to their homes and endeavour to become good subjects . '

      Recent accounts from Cochin China state that cholera made its appearance in tbat country in the latter part of last veer , and had committed great ravages , traversing the whole kingdom . It broke out irr the month of September , in the royal province , and quickly spread through the other provinces , proceeding in a northern direction . It attained the greatest malignity in the month of October , after which it diminished in intensity J but at the latest dates it bad not entirely ceased * occasionally exhibiting renewed vigour . In the Royal province the most moderate and trustworthy estimates state the number of victims at 20 , 000 , although some carry the reckoning as high as

      100 , 000 ; and it is thought that the other provinces have lost from 10 , 000 to 15 , 000 inhabitants each . The greatest consternation prevailed , and the usual care and respect for the dead , which so strikingly characterise the Chinese nations , were entirely lost sight of . The corpses were thrown out into the fields and rivers , in some places actually obstructing the streams , and persons who had been seized with the malady were cast out of their houses before life had departed . A great drought bad also prevailed , followed by famine , the rice crops having almost entirely failed , and the inhabitants were

      reduced to the utmost misery , feeding upon leaves and whatever tbev could possibl y use as a means of preserving life . Unusually heavy rains afterwards followed ) completing wbatever of the woi . Ic of destruction the drought had left unaccomplished , and sweeping away the few paddy fields which tbe miserable inhabitants had been able with much toil and perseverance to form . We have not learnt whether the cholera had appeared in Cambodia , but it can scarcely have escaped a visitation , considering the virulence with which it had prevailed on both sides of it in the adjoining kingdoms of Siam and Cochin China .

      AMERICA . By the Royal Mail Steam-shi p America , Captain Shannon , we have advices from New York direct to the 19 th , and Halifax to the 21 st ult . We learn that the Cuban affair was entirely settled , the American prisoners having been released after passing through the form of a trial . A rencontre bad taken place in New York between Mr . N . P . Wills and Mr . Edwin Forrest , in which the former was seriously injured . Forrest had charged Willis with the seduction of his ( Forrest ' s ) wife . Tbe steam-shi p Griffiths was burnt within twenty miles of Cleveland , and upwards of 200 persons drowned and burnt . The application of Professor Webster for a new trial had been unsuccessful .

      . A Brazilian vessel , with 240 slaves on board , had been captured off Cuba , and taken into Port Royal .

      CALIFORNIA . Max 25 . —The 'Panama Echo' gives an account of an attack on the office of that paper by a bod y of tbe natives , who did a vast deal of damage , and killed several Americans . The pretext for . these outrages was the arrest of a negro boy who had stolen a trunk value 800 dol ., the property of the editor of the ' Echo , ' which is an American paper . A protest against tbe insecurity to life and property which prevailed at Panama bad been signed by the British , French , and Chilian Consuls , which bad the effect of . eliciting a proclamation ham the Governor of the province , detailing stringent regulations for the peace of the city .- < The Isthmus is very insecure , and' many attacks upon the lives and effects of American emigrants bad taken place ; About ' 2 , 000 perions were at Panama waiting pas- , « age to California .

      something resembling bank notes and a purso winch appeared to contain a large quantity of gold . He then said that , the authorities at Doctors ' -commons had recommended him not to let arty hut parties of whose respectability he was assured know what good fortune had attended him in his legal proceedings , and upon this , the man who accosted the prosecutor put his band in his pocket and produced ii roll of " flash" notes , a proceeding which induced the prisoner to say "that will do , that shows me that you arc a respectable man , " and the man then asked the prosecutor if ho could produce any money to show that he was respectable . ' Tho prosecutor said be could not , but could get some for th ' e matter of that , and , acting upon a suggestion ,

      of the prisoner , he went to a house ho was living at , 10 , Globe-street ,-Wapping , and fetched a £ 10 note and six . sovereigns , and returned to tho house . .. .

The prisoner again boasted of his money , and said that as his companions were respectable men , ho would lend them £ 50 each , and , the mah . expressiri g bis thanks said he would go and fetch a couple of bill stamps .

      The prisoner asked him to leave some security for his return , and he laid on the table his roll of sham notes , observing that that would answer . for his return . When ho got to the door , he beckoned the prosecutor to him , and when . he got , up from his seat . he could not do less than his friend had donenamely , leavohis money as security for his . r ' eturhi This ho did , ' and whilst the . man got him some ' twenty yardsjiway from the house , pretending to consult him about the stamps and the loans , the prisoner escaped with the money . The man sent the prosecutor back to the house , and then made off himself . . On the 17 th o June the prosecutor met the prisoner on Tower-hill , and gave him into custody . —In cross-examination , the prosecutor ;

      admitted that he bad received £ 10 from the prisoner's sister , on condition that he varied his testimony so as to obtain the prisoner ' s acquittal . He « aid he did this not . to defeat justice , but , to got back : a portion of his " money . He never had any intention of performing : the condition . —Mr .

      Cholera ( Ireland ) . —From a return just pre * serited to the House of Commons , it appears that the total number of persons attacked with cholera in Ireland , and relieved , medically or otherwise , by boards of guardians , from September 29 , 1848 ; to Mareh % ; 1850 , was 55 , 141 .

      TuEBAretmcs . —The history of medicine is by no means flattering to science . It is questionable whether morels known of diseases , their cause , ; and thelj ; euro , at this moment , than at the time of Galen ; it is certain that diseases are'buite as ' nnmerous , and in the aggregate ' as fatal . Every ago'has produced some new system of artificial therapeutics which the next age has banished ; each has boasted in its turn ot cures , and they , in their turn , have been condemned as failures . Medicines themselves nre . the subjects of fashion . - Is it ' not a positive ' proof that medicine is yet unsettled ; in fact , that it lias no established princip ' cs , that it is little more that conjectural ? « At this moment , soys Mr . Pinny , ' the opinions on the subject of treatment are ; almost as numerous as the . praetitibners ^ therasclves . Witness the mass of contra'dicticn on the treatment of even one disease , namely , consumption . Stroll attributes its frequency to the ' introduction of bark . Morton considers bark an effectual cure . Reid ascribes tbe . frequency , of the disis

      ease to the use of mercury . MHonet asserts that it ; curable by mercury only .: Ruse says that consumption is an inflammatory disease-should be treated by Weeding , purging , " cooling mediciries , ' arid starvations . Salvador ! says it is a disease of debility .-and-sbould be-treated-by tonics , stimulating remedies , and a generous diet , tiaien recommended vinegar as the best preventative of consumption . Dessault and others assert that' consumption is often brought on'by taking , vinegar to prevent obesity . ; Beddoes recommended foxglove as a specific . ; Dr . Parr foundfoxglove more'injurious in bis practice than beneficial . Such are the contradictory statements : of . ' medical men !' . And vet there can be but one true theory , of . disease . . Of . the ifallibility arid ' inefficiency of medicine , none have been mere conscious than medical ' men themselves , many of whom have been honestcnough to avow their conviction , and now recommend MESSRS .
