      France. M. Fincher, On Tbe Part Of Ul8 N...

      FRANCE . M . Fincher , on tbe part of Ul 8 new minislTy , adflressed the Assembly on Friday last , informing them rtiat their policy would be to * maintain order , ' cause the law to be respected , & c . This declaration was received in silence . M . St . Beuve proposed a renewal of the vote of censure , passed on theBaroche ministry , the present one including that gentleman and others who were in it . The president declared that he would consult the Assembly . Several voices called for the pure and simple order of the day . This proposition , as being entitled to the priority , vsas put first to the vote . The result of the hallat was as follows : —Votes

      602 ; for the motion , 327 ; against , 275 . Thus the pure and simple order of the day was adopted by a majority of forty-two , in a house of 602 . This vote was succeeded by a lively agitation , as' the indulgence manifested thereby towards the government was not in the least in harmony with the attitude of the Assembly . The Mountain , with the exception of twenty members , is about to emigrate into tbe provinces daring the Easter recess . The twenty members who will remain will constitute themselves into a committee of prorogation dutiug tbe above period . A dinner was given on Sunday , at the Hotel des

      Princes , to Generals Bembinski , and Cbryzanowskl , the former recently returned from Turkey and tbe latter from Italy , by a hundred Polish emigrants . Prince Adam Cztrtorygki was in the chair . Toasts were given to tbe two distinguished guests , and to the fraternity of Sclaves . Count Teleki , the only Hungarian wbo was present , proposed a t oast to tbe Polish emigrants and to tbe memory of Gen , Bern . Tbe whole of the company present loudly expressed their gratitude to the Sultan Abdul Medjid , and ¦ wished for his long reign . They considered that it was owing to the firmness shown by him in defending the sacred rights cf hospitality that they had the

      pleasure of again seeing Gen . Bembinski amon g tbem , instead ef bis being now undergoing captivity . An incident highly characteristic of the moment occurred on Tuesday last at the door of the Assembly . As 31 . Baze and a friend of bis were exchanging congratulations on the opening of the vacation , a national guard on duty called out—* Would to God that we were rid of the Assembly altogether 1 ' Upon this the irate qaestor immediately summoned the officer in command and gave the out-spoken national guard in charge . The delinquent was immediately arrested , and committed to the black-hole of the guard-house daring the rest of the sitting .

      ITALY . An occurrence iu Ancona will serve to demonstrate the tender mercies of Austrian role , and will be hardly credited in England , where judicial proceedings are public and equitable . On tbe 28 tb of last month , the stick was resorted to , that favourite instrument of Austrian eloquence , in the prisons of Santa Falagia , as a mode of extracting evidence , thus reviving , in fact , the atrocious middle age system of judicial torture . The bastinadoing operation took place at five o'clock in the afternoon , on the persons of two countrymen , against whom , for three months previously , the papal police had

      been compiling a series of accusations , without ever being able to bring forward any satisfactory proof of their guilt . The judges not being able to come to any conclusion , for want of evidence , the papal commissary ordered the accused individuals to be handed over to tbe military tribunal , and , according to its directions , the prisoners , instead of being ; set at liberty for want of evidence , were subjected to the judicial torture of the bastinado , in the presence of a judge and notary , who were ready to take down any depositiosis which the said bastinado might produce . One prisoner underwent eighteen blows , and the other five ( fifteen more being reserved for the following day , ) protesting their innocence ail the time . A second sitting of

      this singular kind of court was to take place on the 29 tn , at the same hour , when several other prisoners , amongst whom a young woman of twenty years old , accafed of being the lover of one of the accused parties , were to be well beaten , in order to saake tbem furnish , the required evidence , whether true or false . This brutal affair had created such a feeling of horror in Ancona that the British consul had been entreated to interpose bis good offices with the Austrian general and the President of the Tribunal , to induce tbem to conduct their proceedings in a rather more legal form , but up to an hour before the time fixed for the bastinadoing he had been unable to effect anything in favour of the prisoners .

      Military executions continue in the province of Romagna , chiefly of countrymen accused of having afforded a temporary asylum to the brigands ; but anymore actual combats between the troops and the remnants of Facsatore ' s followers 3 TB not heard of . The Vice-Brigadier Batiisrini , who commanded the attack which terminated in the Patsatore ' s death , has eobscoaently died of bis weunds . He first fell from loss of blood close to the corpse of the extinct brigand chief , and sooa after expired at the town of Rossi , whither he was transported by bis comrades .

      SARDINIA . The' Croce di Savoia' announces that tbe Austrian government has applied for a free passage for its troops over the Sardinian territory , in case of a change of policy in France , end demands fortresses as a guarantee . A bill on municipal reform will be presented to the Chamber in twenty days . SPAIN . Madrid , Aran , 8 . — . The elections for the new Cortes will take place on the 10 th of Way , and the Chamber be convoked on the 2 nd of Jane . The result is expected to be favourable to ministers .

      PORTUGAL . From Lisbon , we learn by the Tay , that a revolution had broken out in Portugal , headed by Saldanha , who was in command of about five thousand troops . The government troops were in pursuit of him . The British squadron , which was about to sail , had been detained , at the urgent request of < he Portuguese gorernment . The revolution had arisen for tbe purpose of putting down the government of Cabral .

      The Ibena has arrived with dates from Gibraltar to the 5 th of April , and Lisbon , 9 tb , and Oporto , 10 th . The revolution had not extended to Oporto when the Iberia left . The members of the British embassy at Lisbon are stated to believe that the revolution iu Portugal will be a most serious one . Although Saldanha is the idol of the army , the Portuguese court do not fear him so much as Das Aulas and Bauderia , the former being at Mafra , and tbe latter at Saint Ubes . At Gibraltar an action bad taken place between a Spanish guarda costa , and an English smuggler . The captain of the former was killed , and two of tbe crew of the latter were wounded . An angry dispute has arisen in consequence . Monies , the celebrated bull fighter , died at Cadi * .

      PRUSSIA . The PfBESian government is preparing a memorial Betting forta its plan Of action in the Federal Diet at Frankfort . The Ministerial paper states that besides England and France , Russia , too , has remonstrated , if not protested , against the Austrian annexation . scheme . Russia has likewise desired that all the German States should accede to the Frankfort Diet Tbe King of Greece has arrived at Berlin . Tbe direction of the police constantly seizes various journals , cad then gives tbem up a day or tiro afterwards , without prosecution ; Tbe « Coo . Etitntion * ' Gazette * is especially an object of this rigour ; for several days its numbers have been sensed , but tbe tribunal has not confirmed the seizure . There is no provisions in the law for this

      event . Rumours sre rife of a Ministerial crisis . It Is asserted that the Manteuffel Cabinet will make way * o a combination under -Count Axaim BoilzenbUfg wtutue Batons Bodelsehiang and Usedam for the Home wd Forei gn Affaire . « .

      AUSTRIA . It is stated that the Austrian Cabinet U inclined to accede to tte Frankfort Diet . NeverthS , SOHa formal objection will be made to the Piiuiiu proposal ,

      BOSKIA . Ouradrices from Bosnia state that all the artil . tay of the insurgents was captured by the Totki at 3 liza . The Turkish General , having divided bii forces into two columns , is preparing to occupy Saajalnkaasd iheBekia , and to pursue the injurgeat » ia Tarfa ' sb . Croatia . In that prariaoe the

      r ebel chief Ali Redir is endeavouring to recruit his wees . Dates from Bosnia , April 4 , state that Ibrahim Kaplc , the head of the rebels of Krania , has been killed on his flight from Banjakula . The report is that he was shot by two hired assassins . This is the end of tbe rebellion . Ali Pacha , the mighty dreaded , deposed vizier of Herzsgorinia , has been shot accidentally . Not far from Banjaluka , a shot was heard in the camp of the Serasquer . A loaded gun , SO goes the story , had fallen from a wall against which it had bean placed ; it went off iu falling , and the shot struck Ali Pacha through the head .

      EGYPT . A good understanding again subsists between tbe Porte and Egypt , as the Porte will abstain from demanding of the Pacha an unconditional acceptance of the whole Tansimat . There have been lately new levies of troops in Egypt , but not to the amount reported . These levies are only in tbe natural order of things , as Solyman PflCha , the commander-inchief , has lately dismissed about 12 , 000 veterans , in order to have in their stead serviceable troops . The vacancies are not yet filled up , and the Egyptian army falls considerably short of the 30 , 000 men allowed by the Porte .

      INDIA . From Bombay we learn that the Governor-General was expected at Attock on the 4 th of March , and at Peshawar by the 8 th or 9 tb . His arrival was looked for at the frontier with hopes that he will be able to devise measures for rendering life and property more secure there than they are at present . Outrages were almost daily committed by the hill robbers , even Within musket-shot of the cantonment of Peshawur . On tbe 19 th of February Captain F . Grantham , of Her Majesty ' s 98 th Regiment , was set upon and severely wounded by Sue hill robbers ( supposed to be Affreedees , ) while riding out at Peshavrur with a young lady , whose

      horse , as well as bis own , was carried off by tbe robbers . The lady found her way beck to the cantonments , when a litter and some native troopers were despatched for Captain Grantham , who had taen left for dead . Captain Grantham was wounded in seven places , and very severely , bnt hopes were entertained of his recovery . An officer ' s servant was shot dead while entering the city ga ' eon the night of the 22 nd . A scoundrel who was chal lenged by a sentry of the Guide Corps fired on him , but was immediately captured , together with a trumpet he had stolen from the Artillery , and

      nightly alarms are said to occur from the lawless villains lurking about , who all carry fire-arms and use them without scruple . At Kohat all was quiet , though the tribes in the neighbourhood were still quarrelling among themselves about the black mail it is proposed to give for keeping the pass open Beyond Kohat , towards Biranoo , 300 Wuizarees bare bad a skirmish with tbe rear-guard of Walsh ' s 2 d Punjab Regiment , the baggage of which they in vain tried to capture . The mode of dealing with these tribes has yet to be devised . It does not appear that they are at present actuated by any hostile motives beyond the mere love of plunder .

      CEYLON . There is little of importance to record from this colony . Our dates are to the 14 th March . The governor was still afc Randy , busy , it may bo presumed , in collecting information and maturing plans for the better government of the people committed to his charge . Five men convicted of murder had been executed together , in the pWSOUCO of a vast concourse of persons , of both sexes and all ages . Small pox continued to rage violently as an epidemic at Colombo , and cholera was lately superadded . Tbe latter disease , however , had not continued to spread with the rapidity and violence that was at one time threatened .

      CHINA . From Macao we learn that the principal topic of excitement has been the disturbed state of the interior of the island , in consequence of the Heathen Chinese having leagued together to murder or kidnap the Christian ( Roman Catholic ) Chinese , of which a great number employ themselves as pepper and gambler planters . Many of their plantations have been destroyed , and such was the formidable resistance shown to the police—who shot a great number of the rioters—that the military were called

      out , and have been placed in the district mostly inhabited by the Christian Chinese . This alatminR movement has attracted general attention , and that of the executive , to the existence and spreading influence of the Hueys , or secret societies of the Chinese , whose proceedings have for s time so interrupted agricultural operations as almost to stop the staple articles of our export . For the present government has made a sort of compromise , granting an amnesty to the Huey confederates on condition of their ceasing to annoy their Christian

      AUSTRALIA . Sydney journals to the 6 th of December have reached us by the Overland Mail . The 16 th was fixed for the election of the Mayor of Sydney , being the first choice of a chief magistrate under the new constitution , that functionary having heretofore been chosen by the aldermen and council . The matter formed an exciting subject to an excitable people . The candidates were Mr . Alderman Thurlow , Mr . George Hill ( the then mayor ) .

      and Mr . Alderman Allen . The last-named gentleman held the office in 1845 with great credit to himself ; the former gentleman ' s public and private character does not rate high , he having been removed from the commission of the peace for the prostitution of his powers as a magistrate , which removal was considered by a vote of tbe legislative council as justifiable . The 'Herald , ' the organ of the popular voice , pronounces for Mr . Allen , as worthy of the brightest of the municipal honours .

      Later journals from Sydney , received via Singapore , to the beginning of January , confirm the intelligence of a scarcity of grain and tbe rising price of flour , causing much alarm on the subject . The quoted price of flour was £ 18 to £ 20 . Much sickness prevailed in consequence of the sudden alternations , heat to cold , and vice versa .

      WESTERN AUSTRALIA . Perth and Fremantle journals to the 22 nd of January have reached us . The convicts had commenced being a source of uneasiness to the government , and inconvenience to the inhabitants ; several had managed to escape , to begin the work of busbmen , the most dangerous class of persons in the sister colonies ; and to mend the matter , the convicts at Fremantle bad mutinied . On January 20 th , tbey assembled as usual at breakfast , when according to custom , one of their number was re " quested to say grace , which he refused to do , saying he ' would not say grace for such miserable bread . ' Tbe bread is composed of twelve per cent . flour , whereas they demand twenty per cent , Some of the bread so refused was sent to the executive

      council who pronounced it to be excellent . How tbe matter has been disposed of we are not aware but the comkts significantly informed the officer of government . that upon the arrival of auothe r batch tbey would be in a position to dictate COndi tions ; a' very unpleasant hint in the unguarded state of the colony . With tbe view of benefiting the colony , tbe government had notified its willing ness to encourage the importation of camels and alpacas , by holding out a bonus of £ 60 to the first importer of one male and two female camels , and the sum of £ 50 to the first importer of two male and eight female alpacas , in healthy condition , within twelve months from January 1 st , 1851 . The pearl fishery discoveries progressed most favourably pearls of tbe size of peas bad been found , and some even larger at Shark ' s Bay .

      An immense supply of guano has been discovered at Shark ' s Bay . Oa one island alone more than 6 , 000 tons of gaano was found . Several vessels bad started for the bay to take ia cargoes , and the official report of the discoveries has spread abroad a spirit of enterprise Which promises to do goodfor the colony . Theship Albatross , from South Australia , seeking cargo , had been taken up to convey nearly 1 , 509 tons of guano .

      VAN DIEMEN'S LAUD . " Hobart Town papers of November and December notice tbe determined combination of the colonists to form a elass or society of their own , Discord , indeed , appears to have reached its height , and is assuming a practical shape which threatens tbe most disastrous consequences . It is nowfour years since transportation to this , colony was discontinued , and ministers declared it should nerer be returned ; this pledge has been broken , and the felon stream is no w pouring more copiously than ever on the shores of

      Tasmania , with no prospect of immediate or ultimate abatement . This has aroused the feelings of the colonists to an unanimous pitch of indignation , and evoked a spirited effort in self-defence . Throughout the length and breadth of the land associations have been formed for the purpose of seeking by constitutional means , a redress of real grievances which they have been doomed to suffer , andtorehevethemBelves ofthe incubus .

      demand—justice and equality—to be placed oa a footing ^ y ith . the sister colonies , to nono of which arc- convicts sent b » t with their concurrence ; snd thoy energetically demand the pledge of ministers being faithfully redeemed . On theso issues they have taken their stand ; solemnly , sincerely pledged their existence to obtain justice in a constitutional manner . Concession or a final separation are manifestly tho alternatives . This movement on the part of the colonists has produced an alarming effect . The emancipists have chosen to regard it as an insult to their class—ait aggression upon their rights . Counter-associations are being formed , designated "Tho Prisoners' Protection Society" the

      , intention of which is to unite tho emancipists in one great confederation , not merely for'the vague purpose of " protection" against wrongs , real or imaginary , but for tho definite purpose of casting the whole weight of their influence and votes into the contest of the first general election under the new Constitution Act . In Tasmania , it cannot be disguised , convict influence ia paramount . In 1848 there were 7 , 000 free male emigrants , while 0 , 000 had become free , exclusive of nearly 5 , 000 male ticket-of-leave holders , and tho offspring of tbe respective classes born in the colony . In that

      year no less than 16 , 000 male convicts were in government employ and private service , and since then tbe renewal of transportation has greatly added to their number , as also the issue of conditional pardons . On the other hand , the number of free immigrants has from various causes diminished . Looking at these facts and figwres , the consequences of a counter-combination may well be apprehended . Lieutenant Pate , under sentence of transportation for seven years for the assault upon her Majesty , arrived at Hobart Town in the ship William Jardine . It is said he displayed no symptoms of insanity during the passage .

      A normal school is in course of formation at Hobart Town , to which an agricultural and industrial establishment is to be annexed . It is intended to celebrate the passing of tbe Australian Bill by a public dinner in Hobarfe Town , at which five- hun dred persons are expected to be present .

      PORT PHILLIP . Journals from this settlement , to the end of November , are taken up with the general rejoicings consequent on the receipt of news of final separation from Sew South Wales . Judging from the tone of the uawspapers which have reached us , the colonists would appear to be carried away by their enthusiasm , or " gone mad , " in the opinion of the Sydney journalists . All business had been suspended by common consent for a week , to take " a fill of joy , " and excitement was at its highest pitch . Even the newspaper editors had prescribed themselves a holiday , and closed their establishments for an entire week .

      TniBArEDTics . —The history of medicine is bv no menns flattering to science . It is questionable whethsr more is known of diseaies , their cause , and their cure , at this moment , than in th « time of Galen ; itissertain that diseases are quite as numerous , and in the aggregate as fatal , kvery aire has produced some new system of artificial tlierapoutics which the next age has banished ; each has boasted in its turn of cures , and they , in their turn , have been condpmned as failures .

      A Conspiracy Has Been Discovered In Kepa...

      A conspiracy has been discovered in Kepaul , tbe object of which was to murder General Jvmg Bahadour . The conspirators were bis own father and brother . The general is a favourite of the army , whom the conspirators endeavoured to gain over . The Strasbourg and Sarrebourg railway is expected to be opened on the 1 st of June . The opening of the Holy Week was solemnised it Notre llama with tbe accustomed pomp by tbe Archbishop of Paris ; and the ancient reliques of the true cross , tbe crown of thorns , and nails , were carried in procession . All houses , omnibuses , and stalls , were adorned with sprigs of box , which replaces in the north the symbolic palm . Ia tbe south the olive is used .

      We read in the « Statute' of Florence of the 4 th , that Father Arrigoni , archbishop of Lucca , who has always manifested a violent aversion to the laws of Leopold I ,, which impose certain restrictions o » the liberty of the clergy , lately waited upon tbe Grand Duke , in tbe costume of a Franctscau , and declared to his Imperial Highness that he would not resume bis crozier unless the introduction of the Leopoldine laws were suspended in tho Duchy of Lucca . Tbe Grand Duke has yielded to bis energetic remonstrances , and tbe said laws are to be th « subject of a negotiation with Home . A census of cattle is ordered in each commune throughout France , simultaneously with tbe quinquennial census of tbe population , which falls this year .

      Tbe ' Pesth Gazette ' brings word of a terrible explosion in the fortress of Temeswar , which took place early in tlie morning of the 3 rd . The powder magazine and more than 1 , 000 bombs , grenades , & c , were blown into the air . Many lives were lost , and the shock was felt in the town so strong that nearly every window was broken . The following return of the Swth-Eastetn State Railway , which has just been published , wiil give some idea of the scale on which Austria recently conducted her preparations for war . It appears that , from the 1 st November , 1850 , to the 15 th February , 1851 , there were transported upon this line no less than 556 , 077 troops , 30 , 020 horses , 6 , 895 guns and ammunition waggons , and 347 , 558 centners of ammunition .

      We have received our usual advices from America . They state that a reaction against the Fugitive Slave Bill had strongly set in . The Ohio legislature bad passed resolutions by a large majority in favour of a repeal of the obnoxious taw , or , at least , a great modification of it . Tbe denial of juries to slaves put upon their trial was condemned in a very emphatic manner . In addition to this expression of feeling from one of the most important states of the Union , a state convention for Massachussets ( without respect of party ) had been called , to assemble in Boston on the 8 th . of April , to express the feelings of that state iu favour of the repeal of the Fugitive Bill . The sums paid into tbe Paris Savings Bank on Sunday and Monday last amounted to 589 , 745 . f ; the sums withdrawn to 296 , 685 f .

      M . Stieher , chief of the Prussian police , will shortly be in London , to attend tbe Exhibition , to watch the refugees . The Emperor of Austria has granted an amnesty to seventeen political convicts . Great interest was e * cited in Paris on Saturday in the Court of Appeal , by a lady , MraSi Grange , pleading her own cause , in an affair relative to the admission of a claim of 316 , 881 f . in a bankruptcy . Tbe lady spoke for nearly three hours , and displayed alltue self-confidence and skill of a practised advocate . She did not make use of notes , though she bad numerous documents to refer to . ' She also discussed , with much talent , certain questions of English law , which were necessary to tbe elucida tion of her case .

      ^ Our advices from Yucatan represent the situation of the Peninsula as daily becoming more deplorable . The apathy of the inhabitants encourages their ferocious enemies in their efforts to exterminate the white race . A conspiracy was detected on the 13 th of February in the city : of Merida . It was formed hy the convicts in the city prison , in conjunction with some of the soldiers . The plan was arranged to release the prisoners , assassinate the city officers , and then plunder and burn the town . The plot was discovered a short time before it was to bavebeeen carried into effect . The ringleaders were arrested and condemned' to death , but the execution of the sentence has been postponed , ! and the case has since been transferred to the city of Mexico , and . still remains undecided .
