      Trance. The Legislative Assembly.—The Pa...

      TRANCE . The Legislative Assembly . —The parties nave declared against each other a war a Voutrance , oi ¦ which the consequences cannot he foreseen . The majority have assumed a tone so hi gh that they cannot well come down from it . They say that they ¦ will not he led hy the Red Republicans and Socialists , and they uow make almost more noise than their opponents are accused of . General Bugeauu , with remarkable tact , on Thursday , said , in the midst of one of those uproarious scenes wi th which the L ^ gisladve Asse . -nbly has inaugurated Us

      existence , that the majority should g . va the example of federation , and the majority instantly accepted the rebuke . It mav be remembered that M . Cauvin de Bonn-net had been reinstated in the command of the Assembly by U . Mim » t * n < m he had been dis . missed iiemaiurelv by General Changarmer . As soon as the power of M . Marrast was over , General Changaraier again dismissed M . Cauvin . Again Genual Lshreton bad beer , entrusted by the Constituent Assembly with the chief command of the forces protecting the Assembly . He has been superseded bv the same individual , who resisted some lime since the orders of the President of the Constituent

      Assembly . It was upon these facts that in the chamber on Sunday , M . Cbavoix ascended the tribune to interrupt the verification uf powers for a motion to order . General Lebreton succeeded AJ- Chavoix , and having confirmed the facts stated with regard to "M . Cauvin , that he had thought fit to resign his command in consequence of the difficulties he had met with in the exercise of his command . This determination he had come to , he said , because he thought it right not to allow the dignity to be weakened in ids hands . After this statement , M . Chavoix rushed to the tribune , and , amidst the loud cries of the Ri g ht and counter cries from the Left , accused the ministry of protecting , by lis responsibility , the illegal acts of a soldier . M . Ledru Ilolhn followed , hut was met at the outset by such determined interruption from th « whole of the parly of

      the Right , that he remained standing in the tribune , with his arms crossed over his chest , waiting for a silence which it soon became impossible to obtain . The Left znswered the cries of the Right by cries louder still , and $ 3- JCeratrr , tie President , put on his hat . The sitting was consequently suspended , and it was to have been desired that calm shonli follow reflection , but it was not so . M . Ledru Rollin no sooner commenced speaking , on ( he resumption of the sitting , than M . Kerairy was observtd to lean forward and make some observations . These remarks were , it appears , an insult to M . Ledru Itollin , whof turning round to the President , cried out that the tribune was not free , and came down from it . The confusion then became worse confounded , and each party rave free vent to its feelings ; four of the secretaries declared that they resigned .

      M . Odillon Barrot requested that M . Ledru RoUin would continue his speech . M . Keratry , at the instance of M . Pierre Leroux , retracted the words which had offended M . Ledru Rollin , and this gentleman then expressed a hope that the secretaries , would resume their functions . Again the party of the right put in their veto , and one of the members cried out that they would not yield . It was then that Marshal Bugeaud came forward and said that the greatest attribute of the majority was moderation ; he hoped that he should often during the session have to agree with M . Ledru Rollin

      whom he thought quite rigH in proposing th , . misstatement of the secretaries . . This was inimee d ; afely granted , and tfce order of the day was voed-Oa Friday thcTerification of powers continued toexcite as much tumult as ever . Sergeant Rattier having protested against the elections of the Cotes da Nord , led to a great noise , which was only stopped by a vote , which negatived the sending to the bureaux of the question of these elections . Sergeant Ittttier , in protesting , said that he did so is the name of the whole army ; upon which all the generals in the Assembly rose up to protest against Ms representing the army .

      On Tuesday , the Assembly was the scene of ano-( her violent debate on the validity of the elections of the department of the "Youne . This is the department to which one of M . Faucher ' s telegraphic dispatches was sent , countersigned by M . Fremy , his chef de calinet , who himself was a candidate for that very department . M . Faucher defended the course he had pursued at considerable length amidst the execrations of the Mountain . In the course of his speech he was interrupted by M . Lagrange , who told him that the Coc & tituent Assembly had declared that he ( Leon Faucher ) lied . On this a scene of indescribable confusion ensued , which even M . Dupiu was scarcely able to suppress .

      M . Creimeux rose to reply to M . Leon Faucher , hut the Assembly , completely exhausted , rose almost unanimously , aud called out , ' To-morrow , tomorrow !' Tne house then adjourned in ranch disorder . The New Ministry . — On Saturday the President of the Council ascended the tribune , and announced the formation of his new ministry as follows : —Odillon Barrot , President of the Council and Minister of Justice ; Dnfaure , Minister of the Interior ; Da Tncquivilla , Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Rulhieres , Minister of "War ; De Falloux , Public Instruction ; Passy , Finance ; Tracy , Marine ; Lanjuinais . Commerce ; Lacrosse , Public \ Vork- . Thus has a ministry ' - een formed by the coalition of MM . Odillou Barrot , and Dufaure .

      Onfh ' s ministry the * National ' observes : — 'It is a httirogeneous Cabinet , without consistence without value , without signification , without avenir , and incapable of making head against the difficulties of the situation ; such is the marvellous production of which M . Louis Buonaparte has been brought to bed after fifteen days' labour . ' The first act of the new Cabinet is said to have been the despatch of ptremptoiy orders to General Oodinot to enter Rome with the least possible delay , ion gre malgre . This order is different from those hither'o sent to Italy , but it is supposed that

      General Oudinot will have as much difficulty in executing it as the confused orders which preceded it . If the accounts which arrive from Rome he correct , the Romans are determined to resist , and have the m ? ans of doing so for almost an indefinite period . Th y have not only 30 . COO fishting men within the walls , with plenty of ammunition and provisions for several months ; hut every street in the city Is barricaded to an extent that makes each streft a fortress . Perhaps General Oudinot , notwithsiandir . ghis army of already 30 , 000 men , will find himself in the position of the general who got * liberty to besiese Gibraltar . '

      Officers of the Assembly . — The scrutiny in the Legislative Assembly for the nomination oi its President was as follows : M . Dupin ( aine ) obtained the majority of 336 votes ; Af . Ledru itollin came next , with 1 S 2 ; and General Lamorieiere , with seventy- five . The Vice-Presidents elected were MM . Baroche , Bedeau , Lasteyrie , Bcnoit , Deseze , and De Tocqueville . The Secretaries elected were Messrs . Aruaud . Peupin , Lacaz ? , Chapot , Heeckeren , and Berard . Hurrah !—Algeria has added three new members to t'ie Mountain : Henri Didier , Emile Barrau , and Da Ranee , all Socialist Democrats .

      More Persecution . — The editor of the 'People' has been again condemned for an article inserted in that journal entitled ' Napoleon et les Paysans . ' This time he is fined 12 , 000 f . and sentenced to five years' imprisonment . The Invasion of Italy . —The French government received on Tuesday morning , the oth inst . , the official news that M . Lesseps , the Envoy Extra . i ordinary and Plenipotentiary at Rome , has posi-: lively become deranged in his intellect . A letter is

      i said to have been addressed to the President of the ' . Republic by M . Lesseps himself , in which he proposes to him ( 'he President ) a detailed plan of a Ihedchamher , It -was believed this unhappy incii dent would still further complicate the Italian i question . ' m Irrkst of Proubhon . —XT . Proudhon , who has Ihitherto escaped from the condemnation to three jyears' imprisonment passed against him , has been 1 taken into custody .

      GERMANY . THE FRANKFORT EARUAMSKT . The last sitting of the German Parliament at Franktffort took place on the 30 th ult . None of the JMinisters were present . The sitting commenced 32 ? ? T ^ V ^ of M Wolff » lte ™ w member , who defied M- Vogt , calling him a coward-a line « of proceeding which overcame the composure of the IHouse . A motion of the Committee of Safety was tJtnenjead , adm . tted to the debate , discussed , divided ^ poa ^ nd camed w ith a majority of 71 votes against ( 664 . The motion was , that the House should withiddraw from Frankfort , and contmae its sittings at SStnttgardt , in Wurtemberg .

      farewell ; M . Lowe ( of Calbe ) took the chair , and the House adjourned to meet at Stuttgardt on some day next week . - '" , . . The' Deutsche Zsitung ' states that thelast resolution of the German Parliament ( to continue its « ttine at Stuttgardt ) was caused by the wish of ^ that Assembly to get rid of the Regent and his Cabinet . The Regent is resolved to suspend all official communications with the Parliament , and to continue the Central Government as long as possible . A proclamation has been issued by the Speaker and the clerks of the fugitive Parliament , inviting the members to meet at Stuttgart on the 4 th inst . It is expected that from 70 to 80 members will obey the summons . ANOTHER KING-MANUFACTURED CONSTITUTION . ( From the' Times . ' )

      Berlin , Mat 30 . —The draught of the Constitution of the Empire drawn up by the Plenipotentiaries of Prussia , Hanover , and Saxony , is published this evening . In the address to the several German Governments by which it is preceded , the Prussian . Cabinet states that Bavaria has taken part in the Conference in which the Constitution was framed , but reserves the decisive declaration of its acceptance . The Prussian Government further states that the Powers who are parties to the Constitution have drawn it up that they may be enabled to meet the dangers by which Germany is threatened if it longer remains without federative constitution or union , and because the' Frankfort Assembly ceased to exist as a legal body when it' completed its plan of a Constitution , which could not he

      accepted by the government without alteration ; all the after acts of that Chamber are therefore to be considered as exceeding its powers and without va . lidity . What follows is a translation of the duCH « ment itself : —' The governments of Prussia , Saxony , and Hanover have therefore agreed , according to the 11 th Article of the Act of Confederation , to enter into a union ( bmti ) , that has for its object the mutual protection of its members against external and internal foes . The conduct of the general measures that may be necessary for this end , they have ( riven ever to Prussia . The government of — like all those which formed part of the German Confederation of 1815 , is required to join this lund called into existence by the danger of the moment , and is requested to notify its junction with it with the least possible delay .

      ' The abnve mroed governments would , however , but imperfectly discharge the mission imposed on them if they merely dwelt on the necessities which spring from the immediate present . They are impressed with the conviction that reason and duty alike require them to speak openly to the nation , as well as to their allies , on their position with regard to the question of the Constitution . They did not recognise the Constitution drawn up by the Frankfort Assembly , because it went beyond the true and wholesome requirements of a powerful federative state , and , in the form it received from the conflict and concessions of political parties , it did not contain those essential guarantees on which the legal and regular existence of every system of government reposes .

      I ' But the united governments have never for a l moment forgotten that even for these reasons it I b came their double duty to co-operate in framing a Constitution that has become an indispensable necessity for the whole of Germany . Such a Constitution will secure to the nation what it for a long period has been painfully deprived of , what it is justified in demanding of its governments—unity and strength in relation to foreign power ; and in its interna ! affairs , with the secured continuance of the existence of each member of the union , a common development of general interests and national

      necessities . It is the guarantees of just freedom and legal order which the German Constitution will have to grant to the governments and to the people . ' On the proposition of Prussia , therefore , a draught of an Imperial Constitution is laid befo : e the several members of the Confederation of 1815 , in the hope that it wiil meet their assent . The German States which accf . pt the present form of Constitution will he considered as members of the federate state described in article 1 ; while those states which do not find themselves called on to accept it will continue to possess those rights and dutiFs unchanged created by the treaties of 1815 . '

      The Constitution is very lone , containing , with the law of election , more than 190 paragraphs . An abstract of the most important articles is subjoined : — ' -The imperial house has the right of making peace and war , appoints the Ambassadors and Consuls of the Empire , conducts the diplomatic in . tercourse , and concludes treaties of navigation and commerce with foreign countries . The sevtral German governments have given over their right to receive or appoint Ambassadors to the imperial power . * The imperial government will consist of a President of the Empire and a Council of the Princes . The dignity of the Presidency of the Empire is united to the crown of Prussia .

      The council of Princes ( or States ) will contain six votes , of which Prussia and Bavaria has ea-. h one ; Wurtemberg , Baden , and the two Hohenzolhrns have one collectively ; one vote is allotted in the same manner to Saxony and the Saxon Duchies , Reuss , Ar . halt , and Scbwarzenburg ; one to Hanover , Biuuswick , Oldenhurgb , Mecklenbiirgh , Holstein and the Hanse-towns ; the remaining vote is given to the other small Stales—Kurhessen , Hesse Darmstadt , Nassau , Hesse-Homburgh , Luxemburg !) , Waldeck , Rippe-Detmold , Schauraberg-Lippe , and Frankfort . 1 The President of the Empire will reside during the meeting of the Diet , at the seat of imperial government ( whether this will be Berlin or Frankfort is not known . )

      'The President of the Empire will exercise the powers entrusted to him through responsible Ministers . He will opsn and close the sessions of the Diet , and has the right to dissolve the House ot Representatives . ' The Council of Princes , under the Presidency of the Head of the Empire , or , if he should be hindered from dischargipg the duty , uuder the Presidency of Bavaria , has the right of proposing the draught of laws ; it will exercise the legislative power in common with the Diet under constitutional limitations . . The Council gives its decisions by the absolute majority o { the plenipotentia-. ies present ; if the number is equally divided , the President gives the eauing vote . '

      The section of the Constitution containing the Grundreclite , or fundamental rights of the German people , in many of its provisions follows that of the Frankfort Assembly . The following is an abstractor the law of election for the House of Ilepresentatives : — « E very independent German who has not been convicted of crime , and has attained his twentyfifth year , is an elect , r . Eligible as deputy to the House of Representatives is everv German not con .

      victed of crime who has attained his thirtieth year , and has been for three years citizen of a German state . Persons holding public officer do not require a special permission to enter as members into the House of Representatives , but have to defray the expenses -which may aviseby the employment of officers who are to discharge their duties in their absence . Electoral districts for every number of 100 , 0 'JO souls , according to the latest official return of the number of the population , are to be formed in every state .

      • The form of election is indirect . The primitive voters [ UrwMler ) choose the electors who name the deputies . Whoever wishes to exercise the right of voting must , at the time the elections take place , be citizens in the electoral district , and have resided there for at least three years . He must also , if required , prove that he is not in arrear with payment uf the State taxes . , . The section of the Constitution relating to tie Senate of the Empire is in substance as follows : — ' The Imperial Diet consists of two houses , the Senate and the House of Representatives . * The representatives of the different States are to form the Senate . ¦ - - •¦¦

      ' The Senate is to consist of 167 members , of which Prussia sends 40 , Bavaria 20 , Sasony 12 , Wurtemberg 12 , Baden 10 , Curhessen 7 , Grand Duchy of Hessen 7 , Holstein 6 , Meckleuburg-Schwerin 4 , „ Luxemburg-Liraburg 3 , Nassau 4 , Oldenburg 2 , Brunswick 2 , Saxon-Weimar 2 , and the smaller states 1 each . * The members of the Senate are appointed one half by the government , and the other by the legislature , in each state . ' In those states which have two branches of legislature the two chambers together appoint one half of the members of the Senate . . _ ' In those states which only send one member , the government is to propose three candidates , ont of which the legislature selects one .

      A member of the Senate must be citizen of the state by which he is sent , - have attained his thirtieth vsar , and be in full possession of $ 11 civil r / gh { ft

      PERFIDY . Berlin , May 31 . —The publication of the federal constitution yesterday has been followed today by that of the new election law for Prussia . Itis preceded by a long ministerial statement of the reasons why it is promulgated , addressed to the Kincr . It points out the deficiencies of the law of the 6 th of December , under which the last ch amber was chosen : the first point noticed is the want of a strict definition of the term ? independent Prussian , ' which led to so much controversy , remedied now by making the franchise conditional on a contribution to the direct taxation of . the country , either state or communal : the vote too is no longer secret , but to be $ iven openly ; the system of indirect election is preserved , the primitive voters choosing an electoral college . The voters aie divided into three classes , each of which chooses a third of th ? niimbtr of the

      electors ; the most " numerous will , of course , be those who pay the smallest amount of taxes , but they will vote for only a third of the electoral college ; : thus , the evil , of having the influence of the educated classes overborne by the Wei g ht of 69 per cent of the population , here , at least ,, unprepared for the exercise of a political function , will , it is hoped , be neutralised . The following is an abstract of the law itself : — - . ' We , Frederick William , & c King of Prussia , decree , in order to carry out the articles of the Constitution from 67 to 74 , and on the ground of article 105 and on the propositions of our ministry , that the following provisions are to be acted on , instead of those of the law of election for deputies of the second chamher , of the 6 th of December ,

      1848 . * The deputies of the second chamber are chosen by elec'ors in electoral districts ; the electors are chosen by the primitive voters in special districts . ' The formation of the electoral districts is to take place according to the last official returns of the number of the population . One elector is to he chosen for every 250 souls . « The electoral districts of the primitive voters are to be formed in such a manner that the number ot electors mho are to be chosen in the same can be divided by three . 'Every independent Prussian who has attained his 24 ih year and is in full possession of all civil rights is a primitive voter in the commune in which he h ? s bem a resident for six months , provided he does not receive support from public alms .

      • The military of the standing army , as well as of the Landwehr , have the right of voting in the garrisons , where they are stationed at the time of the elections , without regard to the length of time they have been there . The electoral districts of the military are to contain 750 men each . Those of the Landwehr , who have been called out , vote at the place where they are stationed . ' The primitive electors are to he divided into three sections , according to the amount of direct taxes ( class-tax , land-tax , and occupation-tax ) , they pay to the state , and in such a manner that each section pays one-third of the whole amount of the taxes paid by all the primitive electors of the district .

      ' Where no class-taxss are levied , the state-tax , which has been introduced by the law of the 4 th of April , 1848 , takes its place . ' The first class of primitive voters consists of those who pay the highest tax . The second class consists of those who pay the tax which is the one lower than the fi ' st . And the third class consists of those who pay the lowest tax . 'Every class chooses one-third of the number of electors . * In the electoral assemblies no discussions can be held or resolutions passed . Votes given under protest or reserve are illegal .

      ' Every Prussian who has attained his 30 th year , and is in full possession of all civil rights , and who has been a citizen of Prussia for one year , is eligible as deputy . The deputies are elected by the votes being entered into an official list . ' The new second chamber is to consist of 350 deputies , to be returned by the several districts into which Prussia is divided , in the following

The primitive electors for the second chamber have to assemble for the choice of the electoral colleges on the 17 th of July .

      THE WAR IN HUNGARY . The Storming of Ofen . —We take the following from the ' Wiener Zeitung ' : — ' The first storming part ' . ' advanced to the assault at ten on the night of the 17 ih ult . The insurgents succeeded in reach . ing the ramparts in sevtral places , but were repelled with great loss , 400 or 500 being killed . The second assault was made at eleven on the night of the 19 ih ult ., on which occasion they did not advance so far as on the former , and retreated leaving several hundred on the field . The third storming , at eleven , on the night of the 20 th ult ., was successful . At six o ' clock on the following morning the fortress was in the bands of the Hungarians . The colonel of the Cecopieri infantry was found dead , Henlzi severely

      wounded in three places . All the officers of the Cioats and ttuv Granz ? r were cut down without quarter ; the castle and single houses , where officers were hunted down , plundered . The major of the Granzer ( the troops of the military confines ) , who with about 200 men held the tete de pont , gave orders , when he saw the storming of the fortress and the thronging assault of the rebels , to blow up the bridge . His men refusing to obey him , he seized a match himself , with which he sat fire to the mine . Sufficient of the powder exploded to rend the major limb by limb , but not the least harm was sustained by the bridge . The loss of the Hungarians at the final storming is estimated at 250 men and forty i . ffie'rs . ' ¦

      The Jablonowski brigade , which crossed the Waag at Freistadt , has been cut off and destroyed bv the Hungarians . The corps of General Herzinger , Which had likewise crossed the Waag , is asserted to have met with the same fate . Perczel , on the ISOi-of May , defeated the remnant of Puchner ' s corps « t Wsowa . Bern bombarded Temeswar , the suburb of which was wholly burnt down on May 11 Perczel haa summoned Karlsburg to surrender m The Pesth papers have at last some news from Temeshvar . It appears that that fortress is in a sad condition . The Hungarians have cut off the supply of water , and the garrison is suffering from thirst and the camp fever . , i T 5 n -I ne w- itUn , ' advices from Vienna of the 3 dth ult ,, muBS m mets have come to that

      ^ tf ftom the captive officers garrison of B ? da It appea ? s from these letters that these cap-? £ ^ S «~ which ™ W « MZu T on 4 ed t 0 Debreca ; a , Stfth ? ee pifsS a ^ l « y , 1 , 400 cwt . ofguntSil 2 Kt ! of saltpetre , and 14 , 000 muskets , SS tbe hands of the Hungarians after the captU rejoin in circulation at Vienna that the HA * sians met with a terrible reception at Kasctiau m retaliation for which they destroyed that c . ty . The S are givenas follows . The Russians having ene d and taken up their position in the square , a nirderous fire was opened upon them from ever , windowUpon this they immediately retired ,

      sur-. rounded the city with cannon , set fire to it at the four corners , and-cut down all who attempted to make their escape . The ' Austrian Correspondent inserts these reports without denying them . A battle has taken place in the . neighbourhood of Trentschin , to which place the extreme left wing ot the Austrian army extended ; it lasted nine hours , and was very bloody . Field Marshal Lieut . Heynau , who ' iad been summoned from Italy , commanded , and General Vogel who had advanced from Gahcia through the pass of Dukla , but who being then cut off had been forced , hack " to Trentsehin . Dannenherg is supposed to . have commanded the Iluagarians ? After the battle Vogel fell hack tram Trentschin and made . for Tyrnau . From this , circumstance , in . particular , it is evident that the

      victory was not on the side of the Austrtans .. The Austrian army , probably in consequence of the fall of Ofen , has made at Preslmrg a retrograde movement . They evacuated Bos ( pronounced nearly like lush , ) on the island of Schutt , which was immediately occupied by the Hungarians . The main body of the Anstrians wasat Szedabely , that of the Hungarians in the little town of Megyer , a fewleagues off . There was a sitting of the National Assembly at

      Debreczin on May 14 th . Paul Almasy was the president . . Luilwig Kossuth here took the . following oath : — ' I , Ludwig Kossuth , elected Governor-President by the National Assembly , swear to maintain the nation ' s declaration of independence in all its consequences , and a'so obedience to the laws and decrees of the National Assembly . So true God help me . ' Hereupon the President of the Assembly made an appropriate patriotic speech . After this the ministers severally swore fealty to the constitu . tion , and the Assembly adjourned .

      Accounts from Southern Hungary state that the Hungarians occupy on the frontiers of the Danubian Principalities positions so strong that it is almost impossible for the Russians to enter in that quarter . From the seat of war in the westtherumourwhich prevailed on the 31 st ult . of a battle at Trentschin , has been confirmed . The Austrian troops engaged consisted of the corps of Vogel and the brigade of Benedek * , while the Hungarian forces were the advanced guard under General Dannenberir . The Austrians were put to flight , and were pursued down the Waag-thai'by the Hungarian hussars , who made fearful havoc among the fugitives . A battle is also reported to have taken place at Raab .

      Bern has reached Orsowa , and issued a proclamation to the Servians . The news , therefore , that the Russians had reached Orsowa on the 14 ih is , as I surmised , untrue . The news is confirmed that a large part of the Russian troops in Wallachia and Moldavia bad retired across the Pruth . The Vienna press , not knowing what to make of this backward move of the great al y , ascribes it one while to a protest of the Porte , another to an energetic note from England or France . Concerning the march of the Russians into Galicia , accounts from Flocznow , of the 29 th ult . report that the last column of the Russians came in on that day . The whole corps consisted of 52 . 000 men , with 15 , 000 horses , and advanced towards ih : Carpathians , on the road to Krosno .

      ITALY . THE SIEGE OF R , f > MB . May 28 . —We are now awaiting with anxiety the result on the efforts which are still being made by the Triumvirate to bring about some arrangement or compromise with the French commissioner , who has not . vet finaliy quitted Rome . If the Austrians should advance upon Rome from Bologna , as is expected here , we shall probably witness the forces of the French Republic operating in conjunction with those of that power , unless , indeed , which is perhaps

      m . t impossible , both of them should give the matter up as a bad business . The French have now an army of 25 , 000 men here , with no end of Patxltati ' s eighty-pounder guns . They calculate , no doubt , upon making a breach in the old walls , which they ihiiilc would give them a free passage . But I tell you that then the work would only commence , ami that unless they can starve out the Romans , they must make up their minds to a hand-io-hand tight , and to contest every / inch of ground , beiore they can obtr . in possession ol Rome .

      The following proclamation on the present crisis has been itsued by the Triumvirate : — ' People of the Republic J—The Austrian advances . Bologna has fallen—fallen after eight sublime days of battle and sacrifices—fallen as . others Iriuniph . Let its last cry he a cry of war and vengeance for all of us ; let those tvho have sn Italian heart receive it as a sacred lesacy . Roma demands of you , citizens , a last effort ; ami it is certain of obtaining i : ; , because the blood of her children shed on the 30 th April makes it their right .

      ' By adhesions to the government and administra - tion committed to us when the days of danger commenced , yon have given a noble and solemn testimony of concordant faith to Italy ar . d to Europe . We summon you to-give another testimony—that of feats . Be ready , every man of you , to seal your faith « tit ! i your own blood ! Arise , every city , every borough , every place , to avenge Bologna ! L-: i every bell sound the stroke of agony , . the horror which ihe people denounces on the foreign invasion . Kindle upun your maintains , from ridge to ild ge , a symbol of fraternity in wrath , the fires

      which gave in December , 1847 , the signal of our revolution . Display the red banner everywhere on lowers and steeples I From farm to farm , from house to house , let the signal of battle run . Let the enemy , let Italy , let Europe know , that here , in the heart of the Peninsula , three millions of men stand bound by the oath of a tremendous defence , irrevocably resolved to combat to extremities , and to bury themselves , rather than yield , under the ruins o '( their country . And , thanks he to God , no human power will be able to snatch the victory from us Three millions of men are omnipotent when they say—we will it .

      ' Italians ! sons of Rome ! soldiers of the Republic , this is a solemn hour , prepared for ages ; one of those historical moments which decree the life or death of a . people . Great and powerful for evf-r , or branded for ever with the mark of servitude ; acknowledged to be freemen and brothers by the nations , cr condemned to the nullity of men who must he obedient . to the caprices of others ; masters of yourselves , of your houses , of your altars ' , of your tombs , or the laughing-stock of every t yrant ; committed to an immortality of glory or of shame , you will be what yourselves shall choose . The judgment of God and of the human race hangs upon your option .

      Be great . Resolve for victory . The people conquered victory amongst the Spaniards , ihe Greeks , the Swiss—let them conquer victory for Italy . Lst the prefects , the extraordinary commissioners ,. organise the insurrection . Let them assemble from province to province . Let them draw inspiration from Home . Let them assume , in extreme dangers , ex . ceptional powers and extreme remedies . . Letthe director who yields , who flees before having combatted , who capitulates , who wavers , be declared a criminal . Let the district which receives the enemy be politically cancelled from the territories of the republic . Let him who does not combat in one

      mode or another the foreign invader have all , the infamy . of his conduct . Let him who , were it but for an instant , sides with the invader , lose country and life for ever . Let him who abandons to the invader the materials of war be punished . Let him Who does not assist in depriving Vhein of food , lodgment , aud rest be punished ; let him who , being able , does not quit the ground trodden by an enemy be punished . Let a circle of fire and a desert be drawn round the army that raises a banner that is , not ours . Let the Republic , meek and generous heretofore , arise terrible in menace . ' Rome will stand .

      seventy wounded ; but I have reason to know that t is considerably greater . However , there is no doubt that the Neapolitans had a comp ete beating ; Ey abandoned Velletri at three o'c ock on Sunday morning , and the place was immediately occttped by the Roman troops . ' ' H must be admitted that the King of Naples and his army have gamed no trophies in this useless and feebly conducted raid . With 15 , 000 men , some hard blows might have been struck , had there been anything but imbecility in his councils ; as it . is , thejnvaders are , by the last accounts , in full retreat for . the frontier , with Garibaldi ' s division at their heels . . .-'_ . i » j . ! .,. > i havo reason to know tnat

      The ' Monitors Romano , ' of the" 24 th ult ., announces that Captain Dobrowolski , of the general Staff , is ' commissioned to organise and command the foreign legion now forming . Two hundred Tuscans had arrived at Rome to serve under the Republic ; many Piedmontese tirailleurs have deserted , with arms and baggage , for the same purpose . French subjects were ' daily dropping in with the same view . ' Laieraccountsfrom Roma state-that nearly the whole of the Roman forces under Roselli have returned to Rome from their ^ expedition asjainst the Neapolitans . They were received in triumph . Garibaldi is still on the frontiers .

      Letters from Rome dated the ' 28 th states that M . Lesseps had abandoned the city and taken refugein the camp , under protest that he was threatened with assassination ; that the Provisional Government had refused to admit a single French soldier without an engagement being made to recognise the Republic ; and that sickness had already shown itself in the camp . Head-quarters had not . been changed , nor a bridge thrown over the Tiber .. The Fiench army now amounts , near Rome , to 25 , 000 men , provided with every material of war by late arrivals at Civil a Yeccbia , . ,, ¦ ¦¦

      Lettersfiom Romeof the 28 th ulf . announce that hostilities had not been resumed , between the French troops and the Romans . Garibaldi had entered the Neapolitan territory , and had , it was said , been received by the inhabitants of . the town of Arce with demonstrations of joy . He had suddenly made a movement to the righS , in order to effect a junction with the lloraan troops , who had marched from the capital against the Austrians ,

      UNITED STATES . Liverpool , Monday Night . —The North American mail steamer Hibermn , Captain Stone , has arrived with advices from New York to the 22 nd , Boston to the 23 rd , and Halifax to the 25 di ult . At St . Louis , the great capital of the south-wesr , a most disastrous fire on the 18 th ulr . swept over the principal business portion of the cicy , extending for nearly a mile along the ' 'Mississippi , and consumed goods , warehouses , aud steamboats—twentyseven of the latter , several of them with cargoes on board—to the value , as estimated , of between four and five million dollars .

      The city of New Orleans , after being for some time afflicted with cholera , which swept away many of its citizens , is now threatened with even a more fearful and irresistible foe in the overwhelming waters ol the'Mississippi . The city lies below the high water level of this great river , and is guarded , as Holland is , from the inroad of the sea , by dykes , or levees , as thay are called , along the Mississippi . A portion of one of

      those levees above the city having been carried away , the waters were passing rapidly through the opening , overcoming all efforts to stop the breach , inundating the plantations below , and actually pouring through soKie of the streets of the city . Our latest dates by mail are the 13 th ult ., when in many quarters the inhabitants were already driven by the invading waters to take refuge in the upper stories of their houses . Business , of course , must be materially checked by such a slate of things .

      INDIA . The news from the Sunjaub—till recently so important and exciting—has begun to grow scanty and of diminished interest . The ' Mol ' ussiliie' announces , on the authority of a Ferozepore letter , that Shere Singh , on being sent for by Sir II . Lawrence , ' made his escape . ' " 'A party of horsemen , ' it is added , ' were & ent in pursuit , but they returned without him . ' This storv

      however , receives no csnfirmation from either the ¦ Delhi Gazette' or the ' Agra Messauger . ' From the native correspondence of the former paper , we gather that on the lih instant Rajah Shere Singh was present in Dur . ' ar , and was told that ' his treachery to the state , and to the British government , was so great that he deserved condign punishment , but that the promise to spare his life would be kept , and some small allowance made for his support .

      Bombay , May 1 . — This morning ' s post has brought us news of the escape of her Highness llanee Chunda , mother of Dhuleep Singh , ex-Maharajah of Lahore , from the fortress of Chunar .

She had been there—if there she ever was—but a very short time when the astounding tidings gained publicity that the bird had flown .
