FRANCE . PASSING OF THE ELECTORAL 1 A . W . PARIS , Friday . — The sitting of the Legisktwe Assembly to day cimnenced at the usual hour . -K . Ftvreau presented a pstitinn demanding an appeal to the people . M . Leon Faucher announced thtt the committee 01 tne Electors ! Law would net he ready with their report on the petitions agaiast : fce law until t < t morrow . The debate was resumed upon the Electoral Bill . Article 9 excludes , for a peried of five years , from the right of voting , -all persons condemned to more than one month -of imprisonm » nt for rebellion , outrages , and violence against the authorities or -public force , for Offences specified in the law on attroupmevti , -and the law on clubs , and for infractions ot the law on
hawkin ? about articles for sale ; the same term of exclusion is s-sited on soldiers sent for punishment into companies of discipline . M . Chfitras proposed to suppress the paragraph applying io the military . His amendment , having been opposed fcy M . Ayme and General d'Hampoul , was rejected . The 9 h article was adopted , wi ' h an addition of MM . Moulin and Mortimer Teruaur , applying the txdusion to persons condemned for outrage against witnesses or janes . M . Netiement proposed to extend the same disqualification to persons Convicted of adulterv , or of keeping a mistress inder the conjugal roof , or of selling adulterated fquors , or of selling by false weight , or of indulging in stock jobbing fraud * . This amendment jns adopted , as » ar as related to adultery ; the
ither parts were rey & ed . ' The succeeding articles were adopted without | ny discus-ion of interest , after the ruction of a Ot of amendments proposed by MM . Vaujuas , P « ipiD , Cbavoix , St . Homme , and Larcy . The bet of these was highly important , and was only thrown out by aa inconsiderable m « j irity . It profused that every Frenchman of 21 years of e-je ihould be entitled to vote at the elections of 1852 provided thai be were inscribed on the roll of the personal tax , or of th « highway duty for 1851 and 1852 , saving the disqualifications specified ' in the law .
The first vote , taken by assis el leve , was doubtfid . M . La < ran ^ e proposed u > incapaciate from Knriog ta the array or navy persons disqualified to TWte . Numerous voices called for the previous question . The motion of MM . Level and de 1 Esjinasse to fins electors who made no use of their franchise , was rejected . On M . Moreau ( de la Creuse ) proposing to exempt from taxation all disqualified to vote , the previous question was toted . M . Lvanit complained that tbe vote of urgency reduced to three days onlv the constitutional right of the President of the Republic to submit the question to a fresh deliberation . The Preiid-n-: of the Assembly said that the Chamber had no business to interfere in what concerned the
Constitutional p rerogative of tbe President of the Sepublic . The debate on the separate articles Of tbe Electoral Liw having closed , at six o clock the ballot commenced on the ememble of the law- Tne result was as follows : — Nnmoer of votes 674 Absolute majority , ... 33 S For the law 433 . Against " 241 "M ajority for the law —192-Several members of the Mountain abstained from voting .
General de Grammont has presented to' day a proposition for a credit of taree millions for the purpose of transferring tfce sittings of the National Assembly to Versailles , as well as the residence of the President of the Repnhlic . to date from October 1 , 1850 ; and for the appropriation of the palace to this object . The coumittee of parliamentary initiative ha ? terminated the examination of propositions recommending the convocation of the councils-general in case of an emeule , and transferring to these councils the authority of the central power in case of a rupture of communications . It recommends the measure to be taken into consideration .
Saturday . —The 'Daily fcews correspondent says—The grand blow of tbe session has been struck . The Conservative party have carried their Electoral Reform Bill unmutilated through the Legislature by a majority which has far exceeded their most sanguine hopes . Their triumph is great accordingly : and the organs of reaction , big and little , insult the carcase at the giant , Universal Suffrage , whom they deem slain . Was this the tbng we feared , say ihey , this recreant monster , this tame lion , who suffers bis nails to be pared and his teeth to be knocked out quite passively , merely roaring , without either biting or scratch ng . Others less confident are apprehensive lest the calm of the many-headed monster be a false ruse , and hint qu'il fait le mart . Certainly if we are to attribute any sincerity to the appeals made by the leaders of the
people to abstain from the least show of violence , the tranquillity of Paris is due to anything lint a want of will on the _ part of the provoked to accept the challenge of their taunting adversaries , and come down , as the phrase is , inio the street . To-day there is at the head of the' Presse / printed in large tjpe , an emphatic address to the most irrita'ed section of the community , imploring them to be calm , and not to ruin their cause by a precipitate appeal to arms . To tbe headlong disciples of communism the words of Robespierre are quoted , beseeching the citizens tobatTb , by an inflexible adhesion to order , tbe designs of agitators who sought their ruin by stirring them to acts of mutiny . Such continued exhortations to patience indicate not less than tl e discoveries of the police the sourd workings of an exasperated party , who are for upsetting the decrees of the Legislature by a fresh revolution .
The ' Tirafs correspondent states that on the evening of Wednesday the police discovers 1 in the quarter St . Martin a secret association , composed of about a hundred persons , the . greater pare of whom were formerly M . Lmis Blanc ' s delegates at the Palace of the Luxembourg during the glorious days of the Provisional g * vernment . It was found that these people were in possession of a manufactory of gunpowder and cartridges . Fifty of them were at once arrested , and taken this afternoon to the Prefecture of Police . The following additional particulars are also from the pen of an enemy .
« In virtue of a special warrant of the Prefect of Police , a commissary of police represented himself between nine and ten o ' clock at 37 . Rue Michel le Ccmte , where , according to information received , a secret society was accustomed to assemble . In a room on the entresol , lighted by a lamp suspended from the ceiling , forty-seven persons , nine of them females , were found seated round the table . The commissary of police declared that he arrested them on tbe charge of holding an unauthorised political meeting . The meeting was presided over by a bootmaker , and he was assisted by a druggist as vice-president , and by the celebrated Madame Jeanne Deroic , who it will be remembered , has figured in
a great many Socialist banquets , and who presented herself at the general elections as a candidate for the representation of the department of the Seine . Amongst those present were several members of the centralSccialistCoramitteeandofdiffirentsuppressed clubs , together with delegates of what are called the fraternal associations of cooks , hairdressers , shoemakers , & c The female part of the meeting , not including Madame Deroin , consisted of two washerwomen , two capmakers , two dealers in ready-Bade linen , a midwife , and a milk dealer . The latter calls herself the directress of the fraternal association of female milk dealers , but no one except herself has ever been seen in her shop . Afterwards a mnute search made in the apartment led to the
discovery of a triangle egahlatre , and of a great anmber of papers . The president and rice-president admitted that that was the third meeting which had been held in the same place , but they pretended that the object was purely commercial ; they , however , admitted that letteis were addressed to the different associations , requesting them to send delegates . From the papers seized , and from the replies to the questions of the commissary , it appeared that the meeting constituted what the law describes as a secret society , and , accordingly , forty-seven of the persons were conveyed to tbe Prefecture of Police . Monday . —The' Moniteur' of this day publishes the new electoral law , which is signed by the President of the Rf public , and countersigned by the Minister of Justice .
The report of the committee appointed to examine the bill to prolong the time for which the law against the dubs was voted has juat been sent in . The committee declares , that although it is to be hoped that the disorders ageing * hich the bill was voted will not recur , anil as the peril remains , it is of opinion that the bill agsmst the clnbs cannot he safely rescinded . The committee also declares in favour of urgency , ts the bill on the clubs will cease to be in force on the 19 th June .

C-f A letter from L'Orient of tbe 29 th , ulfc states that a large quantity of concealed gaapower has been . discovered in that town . I have spoken , says the * Baity flews'
correspondent , of the suggestions of tbe . moderate press relative to the adjournment of thertlection of theLower Rhine , in order to rue the purgrd list of electors , which will ha drawn up a month after the promulgation of the new law . According to rumour the telegraph has already transmitted orders to suspend the preparatios-i at the mayories for collecting the votes . It seems that there is 3 . division in the democratic camp , the party of the- * National' retaining its old grudge against Girardin . M . Charles MiiHer is the moderate candidate .
The members of the Mountain who abstained from voting on the Electoral Bill are numbered at forty . By a decree of the commander-in-chief of the 5 th and 6 th military divisions , the publication and sale of the' Mysteres du People , ' by 'Eugene Sue , is forbidden in the departments of the Rhone , Atn , Isere , Loire , and Drome . It is announced that Abdel Kader is dangerously ill at the Chateau ( FAmboise , where he is detained a prisoner . The director ( gersnt ) of the' National * newspaper has been condemned , by default , -to one year ' s imprisonment and 3 . 069 francs fine , by the Court of Assize of Pari ? , for a seditious article . It is considered likely that an appeal will be made to the superior Court .
The perquisitions made latterly by * he police have brought to light in a striking manner tne very general practice among the operative malcontents of secretly making powder . Both in Parts and the departments an immense number of clandestine manufactories of ammunition have been discovered . A great number of women were taken up yesterday for being engaged in the clandestine manufacture of powder . ' Tbesbat . —The proceedings in the Legislative Assembly yesterday commenced with the resignation of his seat by M . Loariou , member of the Left , representative of the department of the Cher ., 31 . L ^ urioa was one of the members of the Mountain
implicated in the affair of the 13 th of June , who was acquitted by the High Court of Versailles . The motives of his retirement are variously interpreted ; it is commonly regarded as a protest against the electoral law . An extraordinary credit of 100 , 008 f . was voted by a majority of 517 against 57 in favour of the public works at the , Isle de la Reunion in consequence ef the hurricane of January 29 . Gen . d'Hautpoul presented a bill on the recruitment of the army , which was hailed by the Chamber as a measure nf importance . The debate on the third reading of the Stamp Bill then opened . It was "
decided that a bill of exchange not stamped , should not . on account of that defecf , be entirely hull and void . The owner will lose his action against indarsers , but he can bring his action against the drawer and acceptor . This was the' only interesting result . The important article of the bill is-the 30 th , which imposes a stamp duty on the transfer of rentes . The discussion was not carried to-day beyond the 13 th article , and it is doubtful whether the bill will be sufficiently advanced even to-morrow to commence the discussion of article 30 . The sittins ; broke up at a quarter to six . '
A democratic committee for the surveillance of the formation of the electoral lists is forming . The committee will consist of representative , barristers , and former members of the Constituent Assembly . Their first work will be tbe publication of directions to the qualified people to facilitate their inscription on the lists . The President of the Republic gave yesterday a dinner , apparently with the desire of manifesting the reconciliation between Generals Chargarnier and d'Hautpoul . who were seated on either side of the prince . AH the head officers of the military divisions of Paris were present . " . '
Wednesday . —More Viixany—Atjgmenta tion on the Salary of the President . —The proposed augmentation of the salary and allowances of the Prasident of thu Republic from £ 24 , 000 to £ 120 , 000 a year has given the greatest dissatisfaction . The Legitimists threaten to join the Republicans in opposing it , and it is very doubtfel if the Assembly will agree" to the measure . The proposi - tion was referred to the Standing Committee . M . Clary , the colonial of the first legion of the National Guards of Paris , and cousin of the President of the Republic , has resigned his command in consequence of some sharp words made use of by Sen . Giurgaud , who reproached him for having votfd in the Assembly against the Electoral Law .
One of the incendiaries convicted of having set fire last year to several farm-houses in the neig h , bonrhood of Corbeil was sentenced to death by the Court of Assize of the Seine et Oise on Monday last . A sanguinary engagement took place on the night of the 31 st ult . near Pontcherra between a band of French smugglers and some Piedmontese Customhouse office ! s . The leader of the smugglers was killed , and the greater number of his followers severely wounded ; The' Reformateur de Toulouse , ' prosecuted by the Attorney General , has been acquitted by the jury . The director of the' Courrier de Ia Moselle' has been again sentenced by the Assize Court of Metz to fifteen days' imprisonment and 1 , 0007 . fine for a seditious libel .
GERMANY . . BERLIN , May 30 . —The King progresses rapidly . The bulletin issued this morning states that be slept quietly the whole of last night , and that the fever is completely gone ; , the ' swelling , and painftilness of the arm are also considerably less . Notwithstanding this favourable condition bis Majesty ' s advisers have reccommended him to postpone the journey to Sans Souci ( Potsdam ) for a few days longer . The Emperors of Austria and Russia , and tbe Kings of Hanover and Saxony , have all sent extraordinary representatives charged with their congratulations on his Majesty ' s narrow escape . .
The Cabinet has determined on the essential points of the repressive measures against the press . The chief of them are expected to be a re-establishment of the system of deposit or caution money , suspension of the license of printers and pub'ishsrs , and refusal of conveyance by the post . The fortresses of Silesia and ihe province of Saxony were being repaired and placed in a state of defpnee . Temme , who was some weeks ago acquitted at Monster of the charge of high treason , founded on his participation of the revolutions of the Stuttgard parliament , has now . for the third time , been suspended from his tfhee as judge . This third suspension arises out of the disciplinary inquiry instituted by the superior tribunal of justice , and which is now pending .
Letters from Dresden announce that sentences of death have been pronounced against four of the May insurrectionists . DARMSTADT , May 25 .-The Chamber of Bepresentatives have unanimously rejected the bill to impose a stamp duty , on newspapers .
ITALY ROME . —Complaints have arisen from so many quarters lately of the infamous conduct of the sbirri , that the government is said to be about to dismiss ihe whole corps . The carbineers will be increased to the number of 5 . 000 men , and the troops of the line to 15 , 000 . There exists a great hatred between the carbineers and their uninformed rivals . At the Cafe of St . Eustachio , the other night , four sbirri went with a French corporal and six soldiers to arrest five carbineers , who were taking some refreshment after their patrol , saying that carbineers had no business in cafes . The ' sbirri have been extremely active in the environs of Rome since rumours of the clandestine return of Masi and
other republican celebrities have set them all agog , and not a shooting party or a picnic has been free from their brutal interruptions . Not a week ago a set of holiday-making Romans , returning from the sea-side near Ostia , stopped to dine in a capanna or hut , on the banks of the Tiber , and were not a little alarmed to see a dozen men on horseback , with levelled guns , surround them , and proceed to a strict examination of their birth , parentage , and condition , allowing them to resume their meal , after a volley of threats and abuse , with what appetite they might . ' To the same precautionary measures we must attribute the orders recently issued regarding the gates of the city , the less frequented of which are closed at dark / and the others at one hour after . '
It is to be heartily wished that either the French or the sbirri would relax their political persecutions , and pay . a little more attention to the internal security of the country . Robberies are again o sucb frequent recurrence that no shop or residence

is safe . The notorious brigand chief , called the Pastdtore , ravages ^ thejueighliourhpod of . Ferrari ; and his bands appear to have found- a strong hold ; in the celebrated pmeto , orpine forest of Ravenna , ; a marshy district , bounded by the sea and traversed ; , by e-river , from which they will bV with difficulty ! expelled . A political party feeling is attributed tot these bands ,, who are saidmot ; to carry- on the „ es-l terminating ' measures customary with rcommon " rob-j biers ; , favoured by the nature of-the ! : ground , they have-already inflicted " some severe losses ; upon the Austrian "detachments which have' ventured" into the forest , so that , unwilling to lose -more soldiers ] in-such ignoble warfare , tlte'imperial corbrdahdershave invited the papal authorities to send their own !
troops to the attack . Tbe third Roman regiment , commanded by Major Garafalo , seems to have had no better success than the Austrians , and the second is in consequence about to be despatched hence , to reinforce the ! attacking eolumn .- The brigands or republicans , for they enjoy 'both ¦ : denominations , are variously calculated at from four or five hundred to as many thousand men . It is , perhaps , ' in consequence of this alarming state of the country that an image . of the Madonna , at Rimini ,, has lately performed the mitacJe of weeping , and open ? ingand shutting its eyes—a fact stated to be con . firmed by such : respectab { e witnesses that his Holiness has given orders for the necessary proces verbai to be drawn up . . ¦•> ,.:
The prisons in Rome are now in such a horriMe condition that new places of confinement must be immediately prepared , if the authorities . wish to avoid a prison typhus , or some other contagious disease , from spreading death througboutthe city . The wretches , confined in the Carceri Nuove , maddened with heat and suffering { twenty-two are now forced into the space usually destined to eight ) made a desperate effort to escape a fetv days ago '; they killed one jailer , knocked d'jwn aud badly wounded two others , and succeeded in making their way to the outer gate , when a body of French soldiers , from the opposite corps de garde , rushed at them with fixed bayonets , and drove them back
into their dire abodp . On the 25 ch tilt , about halfpast six o ' clock , thirty French mounted gendarmes were to be seen issuing from the Castle of St . Angelo , escorting several carriages full of , poliical tirisoners , amonjst whom' . were . pernuschi , Ca anna , ' and Colonel Calandrelli . The cortege took'the direction of the Hospital of St .. Michael , where the French have established a political prison . As a pleasing contrast to the miserable fate of so many republican celebrities , I may mention the romantic history of a young Neapolitan , ' named Rulli , alias Luigi Barbara , who served during ihe war as an officer in Garibaldi ' s-corps , and fell in
love ( and vice versa ) with a-young Roman lady . On the departure of Garibaldi ' s legion from Rome , the lover assured his mistress that , if-he survived , and the fates permitted , he should not fail toreturn and marry her . He arrived , God knows how , at Constantinople , and succeeded in obtaining a commission in the Turkish army , and more still , got - permission to return to homo for his cara sposa , who finds him doubly enchanting-in a Fez cap and Turkish uniform . ° He is to be off again in a day or two , but- meanwhile he proudly struts the streets of Rome , protected by the insignia of the sublime Porte . ' ' .
NAPIiES .--The last remaining shadow of the constitution has at length disappeared . The word ' constitution no longer , heads the . official , journal , which now appears ,-as of old , under the title of 'The Journal of the Two Sicilies . ' : On the 28 ih of the present month it is generall y supposed thai a df-cree will appear abolishing dejure a form of government which in 1848 his Majesty Ferdinand 11 . ' swore before his God arid his people to observe and protect . Listening ( so said the first publication of the constitulion ) to the universal desire of our belov 3 d people for a constitutional government ,: we solemnly and before God , & c , & c , then followed the articles . I record these words , because I have'no doubt the
coming decree will declare to all Europe that the Neapolitan people will hot . haye an honest and open government , but prefer despotism—in fact a system of rule which has produced a d . zeh revolutions within the last century . The' ' petitions' will certainly be brought forward as an illustration of the will of the nation , although every one knows military despotism has forced the government officials to put their names to the prayer that his Majesty will relieve the kingdom from a constitutional form >> f government . I have' long since exposed tbe system adopted to get up these petitions , which , coupled with the imprisonment and exile of the best men of the kingdom of the two Sicilies , forms one . of the
darkest pictures in the history of modern revolutions . What now will be the fate of the . political prisoners ? When the King becomes by ; his ownflaw a despotic sovereign , the constitutional offenders have . little hope . Like a true Bourbon . Ferdinando loves revenge , and no doubt the prison will continue to hold those who have had the courage to be honest and uniform in their opinions . Arrests still continue both in the city of Naples and the provinces . His Majesty ' s particular friends tbe . spies work right heartily , even to denouncing each other . The police are doubly ' active , and Neapolitans are gravely requested not to hold communication with foreigners .
and , above all , not to indulge in .. wicked . thoughts about politics . The ignorant priests , inspired by the Jesuits , warn the lazzaroni , who are supposed to be the King ' s enemies , and it has become dangerous for the men ^ of foreign vessels : to remain on shore . The soldiers draw their swords , and the lazzaroni pelt with stones , on the slightest imaginary offence . Three days since several men : from a ro » al Tunis steamer were wounded at the Niolo by soldiers , and French sailors have orders to return to their ships as soon ^ ts they land the officers coming on shore ; Such is the state of Naplss as governed by the ' order ' party . ¦ ,- ¦
Sicily is one big garrison—military rule is the rule of the island . A sort of state of siege is kept up in Messina ; at night the military guard does not allow two persons to walk together . Poverty and smothered indignation pervade throughout . -

DENMARK . Letters from Denmark confirm the previous statements of preparations for war being made by the Danes ; even the guards have left Copenhagen for Jutland . Gen . von Krogh , who is said to be a very good officer , ; has been appointed commander , in-chief of the Danish ariny . The duchies are not idle . Gen . Wiliisen ; since his taking the command , has been very active in promotiug the discipline of his troops , and greafcnVrts have been made fo complete their equipment . Their number amounts to about 35 , 000 men ; The Danish army is about 45 , 000 or 46 , 000 strong .

The Affreerli ' e Chiefs , lately annoying the British Government on the Peshawur frontier , have , of their . own . accord , gone in to . . Colonel , Lawrence , to sfek for terms . They disowned all knowledge of the murders lately committed ; but so little doubt was ' entertained- ' of their complicity that they were told they must wait for an answer till . the wishes of the Governor-General were known . DasV Mahomed is said to be doing everything in his power to provoke and annoy
the British Government—his latest act being ; the interruption of some rafts of wood floating down the Cabool river to Peshawur for . building pur . poses . The Govenor-General left Calcutta on the 14 th , and was expected at Benares about the 23 rd ult ., on his way to Simlah . Sir C . Napier has reached the latter place . The Supreme-Government have at length passed an act enabling , the managers of charity schools to apprentice the children under their charge , and magistrates of police to bind those that fall into their hands to learn trades and professions .

EXPEDITION AGAINST CUBA . The American papers are filled with accounts of the expedition preparing for the invasion of Cuba , which bad sailed for the Isls of Pines , thence to land at some point on the coast of Cuba , which was kept secret . Previous to their departure they were addressed by Gen . Lopez , the Commander-in-Chief , as follows : — ¦ Soldiers of the Liberating Army of Cuba . —The noble mission on which we have started together is one which would alone suffice to nerve to heroism the arm of every one holding a place in our-ranks , even if you were not alread y the men of the . field of Palo ; Alto and Churubuwo . orbrethren and worthy peers of the men of those immortal victories ^ ' i : ¦ 1

Thus will you fill with esteem , your former General , the Commanderin-Chief of the Liberating Army of Cuba . 1 Nakcisco Lopez . ' The . ' Herald ' . says : — ' It will . not be uninter esiing to pur readers to . learn something of the history of General Lopez . A south ; American by liirthj he is a Creole aud not a Castilian ., In the civil war which raged in the Spanish - South American province s * when only at the age . of 15 years , ' he felt compelled to lake up arms , and ac
paired . a high reputation asa-soldier . Cuba became his country ' . by adoption and marriage . While senator of ihe kingdom tie studied closely the colonial policy of Spain . The repulse of the Cuban depmins fired him with a resolution to become tie liberator of Cuba ' and to devote his ; life to the ohji'ct . He resorted to various methods to make himself known and to gain personal populari ' y with the country people for the purpose of preparing them for a rising ir favour of independence . One niched was that of a volunteer dispenser of medicines and medical advice to the country people . ' Respecting the prospects of'the expedition the ' New York Sun' has the following : —
' General Lopez s ; popularity ; it is believed ,-will cause some defection among the Spanish troops . Another cause of defection among the Royalists will be . the already proclaimed intent of old Spain to remove from Cuba all officials of long standing for fear they may sympathise » ith the ' people . — The various chances of tuccess and defeat have been : carefully we . i . he-i . —If the i a riots succeeded intending , ' there can'be no doubt of their triumphant " success . —General L » pfz and Staff i ) eft New . Orleans on the 8 th ' " insti by steam . —So admirably were his operations carried ; out that the Spanish Consul at that place , although his ' spies were ; out in ; every direction , did riot , know of his
departure until the 10 th . —The . activity of the Spanish Consul in this instance is above raised , — The number of men already sailed is about 4 , 000 . —Most ofthem . served in the Mexican war . —The whole number -positively engaged is 10 , 000 . ~ It vtill . be seen by General Lopez ' s address that the balance forming ( he' second experlit-on , under the command of a distinguished American general ( we are not at liberty io give his name ) , will sail as soon as the first body effsct ajandimr iii :. Cubn . ~ Several thousand copies of theaddress ; surmourmd by a beautiful engraving ofthe . State-S . edof Free Cuba , were printed previous , to starting , to be ,
distributed among the Spanish ranks by spies as soon as the patriots landed . —That it will -- prodtic * a great movement in favour of Lopez there can be no doubt . —The . address ' ;; ' ; ' ' it ' will seen , informs the Spanish troops that Lopez is . ' at the head of an army of American troops who sprveri in the Mexican war . —He calls on ihem to join his ranks , which they will do . —They , will hardly dare to give battle to such ' men , and if they do the Spaniards will be utterly rooted . —We wait with anxiety ' to hear the first news from Cuba . — General Lopez ' s address to the Cuban people is a document of great eloquence , and calculated to produce a tremendous effect . '
The American ; journals of the 20 th ult . announce that the Government had transmitted orders by telegraph to New York , Mobile , and New Orleans , to send expresses at once to the Gulf squadron , directing that force io capture the Lopez expedition . Further accounts relative to this important affair were most anxiously looked for .
