      FRANCE . . , nuotbenotber proclamation , of which the following is p , py , wpy , was found by the police , when they seized hhe prhe printing materials . « TO THE DBPABTJIESTS .

No , no ; no more waiting . There 11 bet been enough cowardice and treason . There feti fete days marked by Providence to be also days < emaemaucipation and of justice . We are on the

      i ! ofe of that day when from one end of France to > otb other one will alone should unite us , one cry me ne be heard—• Immediate restitution of the 1 hts hts of the people ; complete annihilation of the ! ertierticide law of the 31 si of May ! ' Let the voice th the people , therefore , make itself heard imi sin-sinjly and energetically in each locality . To i e ue universal cry of ' A has la loi du SI Mai ! ' be i inglngfed the cry of * "Vive la Republiqae Democra-: lue ^ us el Sociale V Saint et Fratewite . —Le Comite i intratralde Resistance . Acertaia uumher of copies had reateady been distributed , some of which were seized i th the commune of the BatfgnoHes . Oi One of the printers arrested is a press-corrector i a . 1 a democratic paper , and the type used is said to aveave been abstracted from the office of that paper . M HI . Goizot It is said has refused to be put in omomination for the Landes .

      T The fete of tbe 4 tb of May , the anniversary ol he he promulgation of the Republic , passed off with ie lie utmost tranquillity . The crowds of spectators rerrere very great . So accident whatever occurred , 'he'he intended Bonapartist banquet in the suburbs aaaa been prohibited hy the authorities . C On Monday thanks to the accord bronght about y > y the Duke de Broglie between the clubs of Rue [ e Ie Rivoli and the Roe des Pyramides , the fifth lahallbt for the election of a councillor of state was inanal . M . Camssin Perceval , formerly procureur of hehe court at Amiens , was chosen by 278 votes out f if 531 , and , therefore , proclaimed duly elected . M . foJorna the tiers-parti candidate , obtained 228 , and lb ! . Darcy 22 .

      The ministry has received an important check , at hhe close of the sitting , by the adoption of the immendment of Mr . Santayra , proposing z redaction ifif 9 , 000 f . in the credit demanded for decorations . Effhe prodigal distributions of the legion d ' honneur wwere blamed . The following statement in'La Presse' of Tuesdday guaranteed as it is by the signature of M . lEraile de Girardin , is so extraordinary that it merits iiinsertion . ' The flat contradiction / says M . Girardin , " given by M . de Persigny to General Changarnier ' (( on the subject of the conversation between these ttwo personages , as noticed in one or two of my Hate letters , ) ' and the unaccountable silence

      preserved by the ex-Commandant-in-Cbief of the jArmy of Occupation of Paris , render important sand opportune the publication of two facts Ihifherfo unknown . The first of these facts took ¦ p lace in the aontb of March , 1848 . The scene passed in the Ministry of the Interior , and in the cabinet of M . Ledra-Rollin , then a member of the Provisional Government and Minister of the Interior . General Changaniiei entered , and proposed to M . Ledra-Rollin that if 12 , 000 men were given him , with the liberty of making his own selections , he would land them in England , revolutionise the whole of Great Britain , and cause to be proclaimed there the same form of Government as in Francethat is , the Republic *

      • The second fact took place after the first . The scene passed in Algiers , on the 17 th of June , 1848 . General Changarnier was then Governor-General of Algeria . He placarded . a proclamation to this effect : — ' The Governor-General has received the following telegraphic despatch : — ' The Commission of Executive Government , composed of MM . Arago , Garnier-Pages , Marie , Lamartine , and Ledra-Rollin , has retired . It is replaced by another Commission of three members—namely , " SIM . Arraand Marrat , Berger , and Cavaignac . '—Algiers , June 18 , 1848 .

      * Who , " asfcs -M . Girardin , * could have sent from Paris to General Changamier , Governor-General of Algeria , this telegraphic despatch ? or who on the loth of June , ISiS , was Minister of War ? That person was General Cavaignac . Was there , then , at that period an understanding and a plot between Generals Cavaignac and Changarnier ? Were the events which covered Paris with blood on the 23 d , 24 th , 25 th , and 26 th of June already prepared from the 15 ( h , and behind the scenes V M . Girardin then qnotes the paragraphs of the ' Presse' of the 22 ndof June , in which it was intimated that that

      sanguinary insurrection had oeea got up for the purpose of rendering the dictatorship of General Cavaignac necessary . lie quotes the resignation of M . Matrass of the office of Mayor of Paris as if it were that he might he more at liberty to take the places of MM . Lamartine and Ledru-Rollin , and he reproduces the evidence of M . Trouve Chauvel , Prefect of Police , M . Around Marrast , Colonel Reheillof , of the Gendarmerie , M . Frances rago , M . Gamier Pages , M . Lamartine , and M . Ledru-Rollin as to the repeated disregard of the orders of the government to put Paris in a state of defence , and the insufficiency of the troops employed against the insurgents . M . Girardin thus concludes , « No one in France , or in Europe , has now any doubt that if General Cavaignac wished he could have prevented the bloody drama of four davs which bad

      for its denouement three months of martial law , and the , transportation without trial of 11 , 000 Frenchmen . But what remained unknown is the telegraphic despatch transmitted from Paris on tbe 15 th of June , and placarded at Algiers on the 18 th . This despatch throws a new light on the events ot Jnne , 1843 , and implies an understanding between General Cavaignac and General Changarnier—an understanding which , if it existed , would constitute a fact of the greatest gravity . Now , how will General Changarnier explain that plot , which is established to all appearances ? Will General Cbanirarnier also deny the other fact—namely , that he proposed to M . Ledru-Rollia , ia March , 1848 , to effect a landing in England , and to proclaim there the Repuhlie ? He who does not say a word admits the fact . '

      Wednesday . —M . Lacroix , formerly Director-General of Civil Affairs in Algeria , has addressed a letter to the « Presse , ' explaining the appearance of the strange telegraphic despatch . M . Lacrois says that no such despatch CTM arrived , or was communicated to him by General Changarnier . But the publication of the despatch in the * Moniteur Algerian' was attributable to two blunders . The captain of the Sphynx , which arrived that day at Algiers , declared that he had seen such a despatch posted up at Marseilles . Hence M . Lacroix , to whom Changarnier , the Governor-general ,

      communicated this information , deeming it hazardous upon the eve of the elections to keep hack so important ftpuee of news , instructed the editor of the * Monuenr to communicate it to the public in an unofficial manner . Unfortunately the editor neglected Svle ^ S "' - " gare thc ***** ™ official ^ tJ ^ JVTStflr ^ - " - untonched , and leaves fteuihl ?

      and lawyer , Dr . Yersmano ' ( they were bow ' members of the Constituent Assembly ) went to AltoM to lodge a complaint with Field-Marshal Lieutenant L ' gedicz , the commander of the corps .. The latter promised to have the ' matter sifted . Thenon-comnvU & idued officer has since been recognised in the person who had been calling at the house where if . Afarr Uvea several days previous to the attack , informing himself of the situation , and learning that M . Marr , senior , was from home , and that his son was spending his evenings by himself . There is no doubt but those soldiers were acting on orders of superiors , bat as their trial vtill not be public it will probably never be known who they are . If the non-commissioned officer will be punished at all , he will no doubt be indemnified by those whose command he was executing .

      AUSTRIA . The traitor Georgy is living at Kiagenfurt In complete retirement ; he is scarcely ever seen in public . ' His chief recreation is the National Museum and tbe laboratory of the Polytechnic Institution , where he pursues the study of chemistry with bis former predilection for that science . The ' Gazette of Etesian' states that ne statesman being willing to take tbe responsibility attached to the post of Governor-General of Hungary , there ia a question ol calling thereto the Archduke Leopold , aged twenty-eight years * son of the Archduke Reniger .

      PRUSSIA . The commission ot tbe Second Chamber has struck out some of the most stringent provisions of the press law a * it came down from the Upper House . It proposes to release religious and scientific periodicals from the obligation of depositing a sum of money as security , calculated according to the frequency of publication and the population of the cities or towns in which they appear . The power of prohibiting the sale and circulation of books published in foreign Slates hy an order of

      the Minister of the Interior is also cancelled . The prohibition is only to be issued after a judicial dec i sion . Tbe destruction of a periodical seized , if it contains a punishable article , however , may be or *' dered , even if the author is acquitted on the prosecution . The alterations may make the loss of the bid altogether a matter of comparative indifference to the government , which has always the decrease of June , 1850 ( the present actual law , ) to fall back upon , and they are severe enough for all purposes , as fate events have amply proved . Parliament is to be prorogued on the 10 th inst .

      A number of landed proprietors and officials in Silesia , indignant that the President of the Second Chamber should have ventured to call Jf . Von Manseufifrl to order in a recent debate , have signed a document which is something between an address and a remonstrance , and sent it to Count Schwann for his edification . They deny that he has the same right over a Minister , a depositary of the power of tbe Crown , as he has over a mere ordinary deputy , and assert that the call to order was an invasion of the authority of the Sovereign , which it is the duty of every honest Prussian to resent and resist . They therefore collectively ' call Graf Schweriu to order himself . " The conclusion of the document is positively insolent in tone , and conveys a direct insult to the Chamber ; that body , however , did not appear at all surprised when it was presented , nor was even a single remark made on it .

      HANOVER . The two Chambers in Hanover have lately adopted organic laws regulating the constitution , and the furture attributions of the provincial councils of the . kingdom . Amongst the changes which they have made , they have deprived the possessors of feofs of all their feudal privileges ) such an exemption from taxation , military service , and other things , and the right to exercise justice . The noblesse heve organised themselves into an opposition against any attempt to put these new laws in vigour ; and a meeting of the equestrian , order , as it is called , has been held in Celle , at which

      resolutions were passed to the effect that the enactments of tbe chambers should not be recognised as valid , and every means should be taken to prevent its introduction into' Hanover , A deputation bearing these resolutions has had an audience of the King , and another deputation is to go to Frankfort to petition the Diet" when it meets . The middle class , however , are fully alive to the encroaching character of the noblesse , and meetings have also taken place where most energetic resolutions have been passed in favour of the Chambers and the pre- ; sent ministry , whoso existence is threatened by the movement

      SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN . It is stated that Count Reventlow Criminil has not brought any satisfactory news from" Copenhagen . The report is , that the count has informed BOme Scales wigers that he has failed in effecting any good for them or their companions in misfortune . It is also stated that the energetic notes which , according to the ' New Gazette of Prussia , ' have' been addressed by the Cabinets of Berlin and Vienna to tbe Cabinet ot Copenhagen have had no effect on the Danish government .

      DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . Austria has been induced to send a' note to Copenhagen complaining of the dilatory manner in which the Danish cabinet proceeds to the settlement of the affairs of the . Duchies . A remarkable article appears in the < Augsburg Gazette' " , of the 2 nd instant , in which Austrian views are advocated , and in which it is asserted that Russia now sees with umbrage the influence gained on the . Elbe and Eider by Austria , an influence which , says tbe journal , it would not do to' give up . ' Dresden and Olmutzhave furnished two . ' victories to the cabinet of Vienna over Prussia , and their fruit would be lost , were the Duchies to he given up . Russia ,

      however , only wished Austria to take the Duchies , and not use a sword to weigh down the scale in Us favour . The Austrian occupation of Holstein , says the ' Allgemsine Zeittrag / has been so firm , and its acts so vigorous , that they have allayed the hatred and fears at first occasioned . A note has been sent to Copenhagen referring to the treatment to which the unfortunate ' Germans ' in Schleswig have been subjected , and step ' s are about to betaken to strengthen tbe Kronwerk at Rendsburgb , which will not be given up . Nay , says the « Allgemeine , ' had there been better information in the higher quarters , the Danes would hot have been allowed to occupy the Kronwerk at all . Such being tbe state of things , the policy of the Copenhagen and Petersburgh

      courts has been changed , and they are endeavouring to alter the question from one standing on the basis of tbe Buodesacf to one of general European importance . A note has lately been sent from Petersburg to Vienna , in which Austria is called upon to convoke as speedily as possibleja European congress for the settlement of the Scbleswig-Holsteiu question . It is further certain that the Oldenburgh Princes have declared their resolution not to assume the succession to the Duchies so long as the integrity of the Danish united monarchy fgesamml monarchic ) is not guaranteed—that is , so-long as Schleswig it not incorporated . It is not doubtful that the mission of Herrvon Pechlin , from Copenhagen to Berlin , Dresden , " and Stv ' Petersburgh , has reference to this question of a Congress .

      Such , then , is the state of thingd at present , as put forward by an accredited organ of ' Austria . Russia , seeing Austrian influence too preponderant , is , as usual , taking means instantly to counteract it . We shall see how she succeeds .

      DRESDEN . A plenary meeting of the conference took place on the 2 nd of May , at which it is stated that the reports of the four great committees were distributed to the plenipotentiaries , in order that tbey might be sent on to their several governments .

      PORTUGAL . By the steam packet Montrose we have accounts from Lisbon . Although the Portuguese government pretended to know nothing of tbe movements or successes of Saldanha when the Montrose left Lisbon on the 29 th ult ., the Count de Thoniar resigned on the 27 th , and just as the Montrose was leaving he went on board and placed himself under the protection of the British flag . He was landed at Vigo , where he will remain until tbe next packet arrives from Lisbon , when his movements will be governed by the news he receives . If he is allowed to retain his office of minister at Madrid , to which he has been appointed by the Queen , be will

      proceed to Loudon to see the Exhibition , and after a short stay there go to Madrid . If be is not allowed to retain it , he declared that he should be unable to afford to visit England . He asserted that he . was comparativel y speaking a poor man , notwithtAtmu jog the charges of corruption and peculation that had been brought against him . He offered a year and a half since to give up all his property for fourteen cantos of reis , and it is stated that Alfeit , the possession of **«* was considered to be his crownwg iniquity , he does not possess . Just before landing at Vigo , lie was much depressed in spirits , and iajmlv , whom he had left in Lisbon .

      "On jhereiignationof Thomar , the Queen sent lor the Duke da Terceira , who was with the army under ihe command of the King . Saldanhah objects to Terceira , and it is asserted at Oporto that be caused a message to be sent to tbe Queen giving strict order ' s that it should be respectfully addressed to her Majesty , which was to tbe effect ' that the Duke ojSaldabah did not draw his aword merely to allow , the Count de Thomar to return at the ' head of the jpvernment in six months hence , and that the prine minister ought to be the choice of the majority of the nation . ' The Duke of Saldanah

      entered Oporto on the 29 th , the civil and military authorities matching out with a few followers Nothing could equal his triumphal entry into that town . Nearly the whole population of the place went out three leagues to meet him . They strewed tbe roa < with flowers , and , the windows of the houses \ tere covered with waving damaak . The King was retreating on the capital . Part of his body-guard joined Saldanah at Oporto on the 29 th . The King leftCoisnbra on the 27 tbi' with only a regiment of soldiers , which attended him as an escort , atd who intended to march to Oporto after , wards .

      ' Tojal , Coirabra , Braga , Vianna , Vimiera , Guemaracos , and tbe strong fortress of Valencia , have all declared for Saldanha , and troops from those places were marching to join him at Oporto . According to a private letter received on hoard the Montrose from Oporto dated April 29 th , and to intelligence received at Vigo on the' 30 th , Valencia pronounced in favour of Saldanha on the morning of tbe 29 tbuhV One of the regiments of Cagadpres stationed at Oporto bad shot . their colonel for refusing to deliver up the colours of the regiment . , They also shot the adjutant , who assisted the colonel in protecting them . The colonel shot two men before be was killed ; -

      It was rumoured at Vigo that the , SpftBwh government had ordered an army of observation to assemble at Teria , on the northern frontier of . Portugal . One regiment had already arrived , and two other regiments , as well as the captain-general of that province and staff , would arrive at that place on the evening of the 30 th April . SPAIN , Madrid letters of the 29 th ult . inform us that a Carlist conspiracy' has been discovered in Catalona . Seven persons were arrested , and , on their way to prison , were shot by the soldiers , on the plea of their attempting to escape . It is thought . that the majority of the elections will be favourable to the Ministry .

      TURKEY ., English policy has been defeated again by M . Titoff . The question of tbe liberation ; of Kossuth was transacted in a conference of the Grand Vizier , Sir Stratford-Canning , and General Aiipick , and they advised tbe Sultan unanimdusly ' to set the Hungarian refugees at liberty , as the last term of their detention has elapsed on the anniversary of their arrival at Kutaya . But the ambassadors of Russia and Austria entered a protestation against this decision , pleading a supposed secret understanding between Kessuth , the German revolutionists ; and the Italian patriots . A visit of the Prince Frederick of Schleswig-Holsteiu paid to Kossuth and the presence

      of M . Revis , an Italian liberal , at Kutaya , are the facts to which the ambassadors ailude in order to give weight to their insinuations . -Now , the Prince of Scbieswig-Holstein is an accomplished and amiable man , who has no connexion with the German democrats , but he is the man whose birthright to the duchies was put aside by the famous convention of July last , when the representatives of Russia ' and England declared in London that the integrity of the Danish realm prevails against all theI ' treaties , and had virtually deprived the prince , who has-no rights to the Danish crown , of bis eventual just claims to the duchies ... The Sultan , yielding to the views of M . Titoff , rejected the propositions of Sir Stratford , and Kossuth remains therefore in prison for a couple of months more , as they saV ; but it is

      now just a year that all the diplomatists held the same language , that tbe detention of Kossuth was to last a couple of months—not ' longer-, and this saeans in the diplomatic language till , May , 1852 , if poison will not despatch him earlier , because Austria fears too much his presence in Europe at the moment when tbe crisis . in France will probably arrive . Tboag h' the Turkish-government will assign another and a healthier fortress than Kutaya to the detained patriots , and though she-treat ' s'them with every respect . ' yet everybody knows at ! ' Constantinople that English ' influence is checked entirely . byRussia , and that therefore the Russians will always find some pretext ; for the extension of the time ol Kossuth ' s imprisonment . Those of the Hungarians who turned Musselmen and entered the army are about to be placed on active service .

      INDIA . Despatches from Bombay : up to April 3 d , and Calcutta March 26 , have been received , British India is generally tranquil , and the improving state of its public finances is at present the prevailing topic of the ° Indian press . Sanguinary murders were' taking ' place almost daily . Most summary measures were , however , being , adopted for their repression ;' Martial law was to . he . declared paramount until the depredation and murders so prevalent were put an end to . The hill tribes on the Indus frontier , south of Peshawur , are disposed to be troublesome ; the Vizieries having been' hovering : about the Bunnoo frontier for some time , ready to pounce

      down on any unprotected part of the line , at last assembled in force at the foot of the GuOmuUee Pass oh the 14 th of March , on which Capt . Walsh , Commandant at Bunnoo , took the field against them with three of Hammond ' s guns , asquadron ef the 2 d Punjab Cavalry , the 2 nd Punjab Infantry , arid 200 police ^ horse and foot . On the approach of this force the enemy showed no inclination to await its attack on the plain , but took to- the hills on each side of the . head of ; the pass , occupying them in groups ^ , which were' soon dispersed by artillery . As the force was , however , insufficient to follow . up the advantage thas gained , it was determined to withdra w it ; which was accordingly effected ,

      "A " gaol emeuteoccurred at Deva Ghazee , Khan , on the 2 nd of March , at midnight . The prisoners took advantage of : the inner door of the gaol being momentarily opened to make a rush past tbe sentry into tbe outer enclosure of the building , ' and then threw themselves over the enceinte wall , the drop of which ( being' -twenty-five feet ) had been considered sufficient to preclude the possibility of such an attempt j fifteen were shot dead by . the guard and one wounded in , the attempt , some were recaptured , and patties of horse have been sent out in all directions after the twenty-six who got clear off . A court of inquiry was investigating the matter .

      Military preparations are quietly going on at Peshawur , a force has been ordered to hold itself in readiness to rkove on the frontier at a moment ' s warning , provisions for two mouths and the requisite carriages are , being collected ; the destination of the force is unknown , but it-is rumoured that the Governor-General has offered the Vizieries a certain ultimatum , which if they refuse , coercive measures will be immediately taken .

      UNITED STATES . The steam ship Africa , bringing the mails from the United States ' and Canada , 187 passengers , and papers to the 24 th : ult ., and £ 130 , 000 in specie , arrived in Liverpool on Sunday morning . A violent North-east storm had swept over the coast of the United States from Main ti ) Pennsylvania ^ causing great destruction ,, The . wharves of all the Atlantic cities , Portland to Philadelphia , were haded and great damage done .- Minei ' s Ledge Lighthouse , sixteen miles from Boston , was

      swept away , with' persons in it . The steamer America arrived off Boston * tew hours after the light was gone , and very nearly went on , the reef , They fortunately discovered that the light-house was gone . Telegraphic communication with Halifax had been cut off by the ' storm . It extended over North Alabama and Georgia on . the night of the 7 ih . and 8 th ult . The Chatahoochee river rose forty feet . Six horses attached to the mail coach were drowned in attempting to cross the Caney branch " , six miles below Montgomery . The passengers and" driver escaped'by climbing a " tree .

      The New York Legislature adjourned on the 22 nd ult . , The question pn . the enlargement of the Erie Canal was before the Senate , when twelve opposition members of that body resigned their seats , in order to prevent the passage of tbe bill , by leaving theiemrie without a quorum . The necessary ap . propriatioris had not been voted , and the government was thus placed without the means Of sustaining its operations . An extra session' of the Legislaturehas been called by the governor for the 10 th of June . ' the people meanwhile filling the vacancies caused by the resignation of . tbe senators .
