      France. One Of The Most " Able And Remar...

      FRANCE . One of the most " able and remarkable men of the age is M . Michelet , tbe celebrated author of that arill more c elebrated work'Priests , Women , and Families / M . Michelet in his . lectures on History , at the College of Franc ? , in which he is Professor of History , has occasionally , it is said , soared somewhat too hi gh into the cloudy realms of philosophy , for his pupils to follow him in his flight with any degree of safety . Of late be has

      occasionally given way to insinuations against tbe propriety of keeping up some of the . established institutions ' of the country , and as bis doctrine was eonsidered to be detrimental ; to both Church and State , he has at length been dismissed from bis office . The dismissal has raised the indignation of the Mountain . The'Press' admil * that he has attacked the Romish relig ion somewhat to fiercely , but that- the constituted - authorities should not possess the rig ht of deciding dogmatically on the controversies which agitate the human mind .. _

      The' Na tional ! says that : —' . This dismissal n a serious warning to " public opinion . We do not mean merely with respect to the lectures or person of M . Michelet ; everv one fcno ^ s how dee ply we sympathise with the illustrious professor . But we wish more especially to call attention to the faci that , this is the first attack made by Louis Napoleon ' s gojernmen t on the liberty and dignity of the professional ch air . The waters are rising : the Jesuits first tried their strength against the country

      sc hoolmasters ; and now that they have closed or perver ted the schools for the people , they begin to attack the highest and most celebrated chairs . It should be well understood that neither any person nor any thing will escape their attacks . This conduct is logical , aud in strict keeping with the part which they bare to play . As they find a country to endure them , a govi-rnment to obey them , why should they not , as in tbe deplorable times of the restoration , re-commence their war against philosophy and liberty ?!

      fiat the students themselves are still more indignant ; 400 of them assembled on Saturday in tbe Place Carabrai , end after a short delay a number of them entered a wine-shop near and drew up a petition to the assembly against the suspension . The whole body then formed themselves into pro . cession , three by three , and proceeded by tbe Rues des Mathurins , St . Jacques , de l'Ecole de Me . ' dedne , de l ' Ancienne Comedie , Jacob , and l'Universite to tbe Assembly . On the way they repeatedly cried out , ' Dawn with tbe Jesuits ! Vive Michelet !* When they approached tbe principal entrance to the Assembly the gates were closed , and

      two companies of the line tamed out . with their arms loaded . Some representatives of tbe Moun . tain then came forward and received the petition , and M . Vers ' uny harangued the students , recommending calm and moderation . On his concluding , a cry of'Vive la Republiquel' was raised . Tbe column then went up the Boulevards to the office of the * National , ' and deputies were sent to the offices of tbe' Siecle * and of tbe other ultra-republican journals . The main body of the column then returned in good order to tbe Qoartier Latin , and there dispersed . The police did not interfere with tbe procession .

      The following is the petition presented on Friday in the Assembly from the students of the schools : — ' To the Citizen Representatives of the people . 4 The Citizens of the Schools . ' Citizens , —Liberty of thought has just been violated by the suspension of tbe lectures of M . Michelet . We , tbe undersi gned pupils of the schools , call the attention of the sovereignty assembly of the representatives of the people to this decision , and protest against it . '

      A Cabinet Council was held on Monday last , at tbe Elyses , at which- Louis Napoleon presided . Tbe subject of deliberation was the recent intelligence from Germany , according to which the arrangements of M . Manteuffel with Prince Scbwaizsnherg at Dresden have been disavowed by the King of Prussia , while the report of the second committee adopts the plan of the King of Wurteniberg for a representative assembly of the German people . It was resolved to send instructions to tbe representative of the French Republic at Vienna , laying down the position which France is prepared to take in case of . a conflict between the two great German states . The sympathy of tbe government is said to incline to the side of Prussia .

      Some rioting took place on Sunday last at St . Amand , in the department of the Nievre , on the occasion of tbe conscription . It is well known that the young men who come in from the country to attend the drawing adjourn , after the operation , to the public-beuees , and there pass the day in drinking—some for joy at having escaped the enlistment , others to consoling themselves on getting the unlucky numbers which consign thera to military servitude . The department of tbe Nievre has . long been known for its Socialism , and St . Amaud does not dishonour in that respect tbe rest of the district . The Socialist agents were resolved to profit by tbe occasion to get up a demonstration , and

      having plied the young conscri pts with liquor they made them parade the town with red flags and other emblems of the kind . The Mayor , attended by a few Gardes Champetres , tried to put a stop to the procession , but failed iu doing so . He succeeded , however , in arresting half-a-dozen of the most dangerous . These arrests roused the fury of the mob ; they followed the Mayor to bis house , and tried to prevent him from entering : he felled to the ground two of the foremost who laid hands on him . Tbe Mayor thought it necessary to barricade his house , which was threatened with destruction .

      He sent off to Cosne to tbe- Sub-Prefect , explaining the critical situation he was in and praying for assistance . The Sub-Prefect at once obeyed the summons , and arrived with an additional force of gendarmerie ; but himself and his gendarmes were equally disregarded , and beaten ont of the town . Finding matters assuming so serious an aspect , the Sub-Prefect in turn sent an express off to Nevers , the principal town of the department , urging the immediate presence of the Prefect with a reinforcement . The rioting still continued when the latest accounts left .

      GERMANY . From Dresden we learn that the second commit , tee has made a movement which we were far from exp ; ctin ? . This committee had been charged to examine the question raised b y the King ofWurtembeig , who proposes that a chamber of representatives of all the German people should he established by the side of the supreme federal govern , ment . The report of the committee v in favour of the adoption of the proposition ; and it has aiso submit-ed the projects of its resolution to the Conference . This report is the work of the Saxon

      Minister of Foreign Affairs . This result is doubtless due to the personal influence of the King of "Wurteiabere , whose letter has produced a profonnd and general sensation in the political circles of Berlin and Dresden . It is even said that the King of Prussia bas been so struck with its reasonings , that it is not impossible that he may separate from Austria on this question , and pronounce iu favour of the already-known opinion of the Kings of Bavaria , Hanover , ana Saxony , who make common cause with the King of Wurtemberg . It is well understood that iu any case Austria will reject tbe propositions cf the committee .

      Prince Scbwarzenberg has answered the King of Wurtemherg ' s litter . He by no means opposes the king ' s viaws , bat says the time has not yet come for earning there out—that the German princes must first come to a full agreement on the subjec :. With respect U the Hessian question , it is Stated , froai Dresden , that Prussia and Hanover hava stood up aa advocates of a general amnesty , and that even Prince Leiningen , the Austrian Commissioner , is by no means pleased with many of 5 f . Hassenpflug ' s measures . From Biden it is stated that the GrandDuke has again granted a free pardon to tbe political prisoners who we re confined at Brachial

Having obtained a sort of promise to that effect from Signer Dagnine , tbe chief editor * they believed the matter settled . But on the 4 th of March following , the « Strega" app eared with an article beaded , as ts * This led

The authorities of Genoa have determined to act with the greatest rigour against the ringleaders of this act of violence .

      POLAND . The Viceroy of Poland bas given permission to Count Henry Rrewuski , a celebrated Polish novelist , to publish a daily political and literary paper at Warsaw . The name of tbe new paper , which appeared on the lft of the month , is ' DzienniK Warszawskr * (* Warsaw Journal . ' )

      TURKEY . Tbe mail from Constantinople has brought important news from Bagdad . It is well ,-known that the great Arab tribe of the Annezeh mi grate yearly , foJloiwng the course of the Euphrates , from the neig hbourhood of Aleppo to tbat of Bagdad , where they arrive about Christmas , and sell camels and horses , and buy dates . It has long been the custom of tbe pashas of Bagdad to pay black mail to the powerful sheikhs of this tribe and the Shammar , when their vast encampments move down into the neighbourhood ^ the old capital of the : caliphs , in order to keep tbe roads open , and protect , pilgrims and travellers from : the depredations of the

      Bedouins . It seems , however , that Abdi Pasha , who has recently succeeded to the pashalik , . refused the usual purses of tomauns , demanded of him by tbe Annezeh sheikhs . Thereupon a cloud of . mounted Bedouins , with their spears , were seen in the horizon on tbe right , bank of the Tigris .. The fellahs fled , whooping , with their flocks towards tbe city-wall ? , while their women raised the shrill alarm of their thrilling < Lu-lu-lu . ' Abdi Pasha- marched out with his troops to meet the enemy ; but , although they bad cannon with them , they could not stand the . charge of the Annezeh , and they were beaten back into Bagdad , after suffering considerable loss ,

      and leaving one gun . on the field . The Annezeh were encamped in . the immediate neighbourhood of the city , which they besieged , and continued their depredations to the right and left over the whole country plundering the villages aud ' driving off cattle . Meanwhile three of Die sheikhs had been to the Serai to parley with the Pasba . One of these having suddenly died , it is expected that be must have been poisoned with the coffee or sherbet , which . is usually offered as a compliment in the East oa all visits . The Arabs bad been irritated to a great pitch of fury by this presumed treachery .

      INDIA AND CHINA . We have received by electric telegraph , via Trieste , advices from Bombay to the 17 th of Feb ., Calcutta to the 8 th of February , aud Hong Kong to the 29 th of January . The Hindostan , with the Indian mail arrived at Suez on the 4 th of March , with about seventy passengers . The Bombay journals announce tbe unconditional surrender of the fort Dharoor , in the Nizam ' s dominions , on tbe 4 th of February , and give- a report that a portion of the Prince ' s territory has been made over to the government of the East India Company as an equivalent for the debt of £ 60 , 000 dne to it .

      In the Punjab 450 miles of canals were under constructions . Lord Dalhousie is occupied with education in the Punjab , in which he IS auty seconded by the . inhabitants . The sura of £ 10 , 000 sterling has been stolen out at tbe coffers of the Oriental Bank . The Calcutta papers announce the arrival of the three Sikh Sirdars , on their way to Singapore ; the proposed erection of houses of . refuge on the Saugor Island for shipwrecked mariners ; tbe sentence of death upon the murderer Very ; and the arrival of the Oriental Steamer on the 1 st of February , with the English mails of the 24 th of December .

      M. Lamartine Bas Presented A Petition Fr...

      M . Lamartine bas presented a petition from William Tell Poussin , formerly Minister of the Republic in the United States * praying the French government to grant a block of granite , taken from the quarries of Cherbourg , for the erection , of a monument to General Washington . M . Ktienne bas deposited in one of the bureaux of the Legislative Assembly a petition , from Dr . Moffat , an . Edinburgh physician , well known in the medical profession by his various writing ; , requesting permission to practise amongst his countrymen . This petition , which will decide a point of great importance ,, has excited much interest in the French Assembly .

      Tbe Second Prussian Chamber has , in the hour of need assisted the superior branch of the Legislature ; it suspended its sitting , to-day , and abandoned its sails to the Deputies of the Upper House who have been burnt out of their own premises . In opening the proceedings under these unusual circumstances Connt Rittberg-made the following address , containing the only official account of the disaster that bas yet been given;— 'The reason of our assembling in this apartment is known to you all ; our own beautiful place of meeting , and tbe apartments connected with it , are for the most part reduced to ashes . To all those who , in the moment of peril , hastened lb the spot to give advice-and help , I

      return our sincere thanks . Of our- archives and documents tbe most important part have been saved ; the Hall itself and the adjoining premises were not insured . The calamity has fallen the most severely on the Che f of our Bureaux , who has lost all he possessed—furniture , valuables , and money . His most . valuable property had beeu placed iu the apartments above the ball of meeting , where it became tbe prey of the conflagration . T ; treasury of the Chamber is also destroyed , with a sum of 400 thalers . The State , however , sustains no material loss from it , as the money consisted of Bank notes * To prevent any interruptions of our labours , the Chef of the Bureaux and myself have hastened every , arrangement as much as possible . The Bureaux are re-established in the apartments

      adjoining our old building ,, which escaped the flames , and rooms have been provided for most o ' the Commissions . The Ministry has assisted us in these arrangements with all its power , and it ha < undertaken to provide a new apartment as soon as practicable , and I hope in tbe next sitting 1 shall be able to make you a definitive communication on the subject . In the mean time the Presidency of the Second Chamber has givan op its salle to us for tbe sitting of to-day and that of Saturday ( 15 tb ) . ' It is understood that the future sittings will be held in the Concert-room of the Theatre Royal—the Ian place of meeting ol tbe National Assembly , dissolved in December , . 1848 . The necessary fittings and fllf . niture will be brought from the now useless premises of the Parliament of the Union at Erfurt .

      Letters from Coburg slate tbat the ex-Qieen of the French is on the eve of coming to arrangements with his Royal Hi ghness Duke Maximilian oi Bavaria respecting the purchase of an . estate in Upp < -r Franconia , on the borders of Cebourg . The government of Bavaria have followed the example set by other States in South Germany , and issued strict orders to the police to watch and confront the movements of all disbanded soldiers of the ScbUawig-Holslein army who may pass through Bavaria ; being fearful that they will be made the instruments for the propagation of Socialist and democratic doctrines . It is quite clear tbat German governments live in dread of a fresh revoiutioc .

      Tlrs appears even by official statements and documents . The King of Bavaria has issued a rescript urging the beads of tbe various legal tribunals not , a send official advertisements to the democrat papers , but as far as possible , to Consetvative journals onl y . Prince Paskieviisch , who arrived at Rome a couple of months ago , has made a most determined attempt at suicide , by stabbing himself six times in the region of tbe heart with a knife .

      General Magnan , who is in command of the 4 th military division , the head quarters of which is Strasburg , has published an brderof the day , dated March 13 th , stating that , he has seea of late , with great regret , that a number of suicides have taken place among the troops under his command . He reminds them that the life . . of a soldier does not belong : to himself , but to his country , and that it is only on the field of battle that , be can honourably seek for death . He concludes by expressing a hope that the men serving under bis command . will listen to his friendly warning , and not . give , such deplorable examples of weakness and discouragement ,

      Marshal Radetzky has forwarded , a note to the government of Tessin , and a second to Turin , in which be complains of tbe assemblage of fugitives on the Austrian frontiers , and threatens reprisals , though it is not stated of what' description The director of telegraphs " stated . on Monday last to the committee of initiative that ; the French government was occupied with a plan for connecting Marseilles with Paris by . telegraph , which is a grand desideratum for British communication with India , A bill will be shortly presented on the subject by the Minister ef Public works .

      A pamphlet , containing a spoken and unspoken speech of Henry Arnim has been confiscated by tbe police authorities . Nearly the whole of the first edition was . sold before it was seized . This confiscation forms the political topic . of the , day , at Berlin . The Madrid journals of tbelSth announce tbe dismissal of Mr .

      , » The Swiss Federal Council has addressed a circular to all tbe States of the Confederation announcing that , having received information that a great number of natives of Switzerland bad lately left the country for Rome , ostensibly for the purpose of following their different occupations , but in reality to enter into the military service of tbat State , and that a considerable number had also enrolled themselves to serve in the Italian legion ai Montevideo , has given orders to the Swiss consuls at Genoa . Leghorn , and Marseilles , to refuse their tkato such persons as they might suspect of having an intention of entering a foreign service .

      Meeting In Aid Of Hungarian Refugees. Nb...

      MEETING IN AID OF HUNGARIAN REFUGEES . Nbwcastlb-upon-Ttnb . —A public meeting was held in the Lecture Room , last week , for the purpose of sympathising with , and affording assistance to , the Refugees who have recently arrived in London from Turkey . The room was about half filled , the audience consisting almost exclusively of working men . Sir John Fife , Charles Lavkin , and G . Crawsbay , Es qs ., were announced to take a part in the proceedings , but Mr . Larkin was absent in conscquenco .. of " a professional engagement "—an excuse which by no means satisfied the company , who received bis name with loud and oft repeated expressions of disapprobation . : Sir Jons Fife having been called to the chair , observed that many of the best and bravest men of

      Poland , Hungary , and Italy , had either been destroyed or exiled from their native country , and these were not persona of dissolute character , who had agitated to effect clmngos with the view of bettering their own pecuniary position , but men who had occupied places of trust and responsibility , and who had only done what John Hampden did when lie refused to pay ship . money to Charles I . ( Applause !) The Hungarians never thought of an insurreetiouary movement until thoy had been goaded beyond human endurance by perfidious . Austria ; and to show the tyranny practised by that country in Italy , he might mention that a proclamation bad recently been issued by Radetzki , to the effect that any man , who had in his possession democratic publications ,

      should be liable to five years' imprisonment . Sir John warmly appealed to the audience in favour of the brave exiles , and severely censured a portion of the British press which had been guilty of detracting from the motives , virtues , honour and even the military conduct of tbese unfortunate men , and all to serve so cowardly , unprincipled , and barbarous a power as Austria . ( Applause . ) Mr . CBAwsHAtsaid they were met for a benevolent and charitable purpose—to afford some assistance , however small , to alleviate the pressing destitution of tbe refugees located at No . 41 , Turnmillstreet , London , who he believed were crowded together hi close apartments , and in want of the common necessaries of life . He trusted , however ,

      that before . long some more efficient means would be taken by tho country , ( and he hoped the government would co-operate ) , to assist the refugees ; and ho believed the best means would be to enable theni to emigrate to the great Republic of the West , where so many of their countryman had £ ono before them , and bad found there immediate employment , ( Applause . ) He trusted that the friends of those refugees , would advise such of them as did not meet with the means of sup porting themselves here , to go to America , where they could enjoy institutions similar to those which they wished to establish in their own country . ( Applause . ) They were met not to relieve the refugees merely because they were in distress , but because tbey bad suffered in a good and righteous cause—the cause of European liberty . They had been a portion of that great

      party in Europe which would henceforth only be known as the republican party , formatters , bad now come to this pass , that Germany , Hungary , and Italy must become republics before liberty can be established . After some other remarks , Mr . Crawshay appealed to the meeting for their pecuniary assistance in alleviating the immediate destitution of . the refugee * , and concluded by moving : — " That this meeting is of opinion that the Hungarian and Italian refugees now , residing at No .- 41 , Turnmill-street ,. London , deserve the sympathy and support of all the friends of humanity . " ( Cheers . ) The motion was seconded by a young man named Charltoj , ' , who adverted in glowing terms to the deeds of Brutus , Gracchus , and ltienzi , stating that it bad been reserved for the present day to show a list of names before which the mighty men of antiquity dwindled into insignificance .

      Mr . James Watsos proposed the second resolution , recommending that subscription sheets should be placed in public offices , in order that efficient support may be rendered to tho refugees . In energetic terms he enforced the duty of assisting those who had taken part in the democratic movement throughout Eui ope , and expressed himself in favour of republican institutions for this country The resolution was seconded and carried , as was also another censuring the British Government for

      having neglected to take more energetic ' measures in favour of Hungary , the speakers being Mr . Gunn and Signor Bompiani . Mr . Gunn alluded to the absence of Mr . Larkin ( whose name was loudly hissed ) , saying that be hoped the working men would not allow their ears to be tickled with SOUndS ; he did IlOt doubt Mr . Larkln ' a ability ; hut they wanted earnest mtn- ( cheers )~ aud with reference to tbat genileman ' s apology , he could only say , where there is tbe will , there is generally a way .
