      FRINGE . IXast Last Wednesday the Assembly discussed the prassitioreition submitted by M . Langiunais , the reporter the the committee of the Assembly . M . de Lasyiyrie ryrie made a very successful attack on the ministry , " i ' ing iing one of the members of the committee of asrmaermanence . His great point was the society ol tee Die Bis . JDecembre , which he described as an or * umiseanised army , but said that it was not dangerous , Mjcauycause General Changarnier commanded the army * ee nee nest alluded to the seditions cries at the

      reeiewsiews of Sartory , and described how all military istscipiscipline had been , defied ia the banquets gwea L t thet the Elysee , by the mixture of officers and nonoomtrommissioned officers at the same table . He did cot Wot blame the President for this —( ironical laughs ) —bet-because the President was not a military man , tund tnd therefore might be supposed not to know much dtboutbout the rules of the service , but his chief aide-desampamp , Colonel Vaudrey , was present and might have ivuosuown better . He concluded by alluding to the Hismlismissal of General JJeumayer , which he strongly :: ond * ondemned . AJ At the opening of the sitting on Thursday Col . IPAtPAuDREr first ascended the tribune , and declared Ithatihattbe assertions ofM . deLasteyrie were false BB . nds . nd calumnious , as far as he was concerned .

      ft M . Lemulier said that the document read by M . ide Be Lasteyrie touching the organisation of the society cof tof the Dbr-Decembre bad never emanated from that Ibodbody . i M . Flasdik , member of the minority cf the leoneommittee , attacked the report . He maintained Ithathat the President had made proper use of a icoxoustitutional right iu dismissing General Chan-; gaigarnier ; and attacked the chiefs of the majority for ' thetheir visits to Claremont and 'Wiesbaden .

      : M . Leo de L . vbisde and M . Thiers demanded Io Co speak . The latter insisted on answering immedbdiately , amid cries of < Order ; ' 'Let the speaker in tilths tribune go on ; ' ' Hinder him . ' M . fFlandin , re resuming , remarked the presence of three delegates fri from the court of Wiesbaden in the Committee of P < Permanence ( MM . Berryer , Leo de Lahorde , and 1 larochejacquelin . ) ' He justified the suppression of tl the command of the army of Paris , citing the words

      ol of General Cavaignac , and wondering the measure fc had not-been taken long before . Did they want a I . mayor of the palace ? It would be a bad inangnra-1 lion of the republic to instal a faineant President 1 The successes even obtained by | the cabinet , owing t to the intervention of General Changarnier , were e so humiliating as to resemble checks rather thau l successes . He ended with condemning the resolui tion of the committee .

      After some time M . Beruyer occupied the tri-] tune . * He should explain himself on his conduct in ] particular , and state the motives which determined j iam to vote against the government . He reminded 1 the house of the sensation caused in the Assembly : finder the former government , by the dismissal of a < chef ie division ( M . Drouyn de Lhuys ) . He rei garded tbe dismissal of General Changarnier as a ' change of pslicy , which might be attended with tbe most fatal results . He saw great danger in the rupture of the majority , to whose union the return of prosperity bad been owing . He considered the

      position of the country as a transition , and the message itself spoke of it in this'light . There were in that Chamber a considerable number of royalists , and he was a royalist himself . ( Long interruption ) . He tad been monarchist during fifty-eight years ; nor had he changed in assuming the mandate of a representative . Nevertheless he had rallied with all his Strength to tbe majority in order to save the country . He demanded that the ties of the majority should sow be strengthened by a common resolution . ( Denver ' s speech was tboughtineffecfive , and below the mark ) .

      M . Lamabtine now ascended the tribune , fie declared that he would stand by the flag of tbe liepublic Having blamed the Committee for reviving the disputes of the recess , after a message which was accepted by the most thorough-going republicans , M . de Lamar tine was met by an emphatic ' No , ' fromM . Charras . M . Cbarras , having been called to order , was supported by the Mountain en masse , whom M . Dupia called collectively to order . * Give your names ( he said ) to the ' Moniteur , ' and the country will jud ^ e you / M . Lamartine continued Ms panegyric of the republic , and maintained that it was the partisans of M . de Remusat ' s proposition who did their best to crush the parliamentary system . He concluded by an appeal to all the different par . ties of the Assembly to unite in saving tbe republic , by rejecting the resolution of the Committee .

      General Changarnier then proceeded to occupy the tribune ; and spoke amidst the deepest signs of attention . He said that when tbe government which preceded that of tbe President of the Republic established its head-quarters at the Tuilleries , the parties which still divide France were already in existence . There were tbe moderate republicans , the monarchists of tradition , the constitutional monarchists , the demagogues who masked themselves under other names , and tbe men who wanted the imperial dictatorship stripped of the glory and genius of the man whose fame yet fills the world , ( Movement ) . He Bad refused to be the instrument of any party . He iad wished what all honest people wished , the

      execution of tbe laws , the revival of commerce , industrial activity , the security of Paris—of all France , and he had the proud satisfaction of having contributed a little to tbe attainment of these benefits . ( Prolonged applause ) . Notwithstanding odious insinuations propagated by ingratitude , he had declined to follow any faction , any conspiracy , any conspirateur . ( Cbeers ) . The two parties which he bad last mentioned ( tbe demagogues and imperialists ) had vowed against him a hatted which be had well deserved —( smiles and approbation)—and which , for his honour , survived even his fall . ( Cheers ) , He might have forstalled that fall by his resignation which could have been well received . But were

      those who thought he ought to have given his resignation quite sure that his course had not been useful to them ? ( Movement ) . His swotd > as condemned to a momentary repose , but it was not broken , and if the country ever bad need of it , it would find it again full of devotion and obedience to a patriotism proof against all trials , of a devoted heart and of a firm mind , which disdained the tinsel of false grandeur . ( Prolonged applause ) . M . Thiers next spoke , and went into a long explanation of his idea of the Republic . He said that he had accepted the republic without arriere pensee , and that the first cries of « Vive l'Emperor '

      bad broken that truce which had hitherto bound all parties together for the welfare of France . He then alluded to the dismissal of Changarnier , and eaid that by such conduct the government exposed itself to the reproaches of ingratitude , and to the distrust of the Assembly , and yet in spite of that knowledge it did not hesitate . It was impossible bnt that the assembly should regard this fact as one of great importance , and it was with that feeling that he ascended the tribune in spite of bimself . The government had said that it had no intention agaiast the assembly ; he believed it , for the assembly bad not resisted it . He concluded by

      saying : We shall see when it will do so ; antil that time 1 shall retain all my doubts . Yon make us fear a conspiracy ; you wish that the assembly should yield , without wMch the executive power , according to your account , will be humiliated . It is for the power which commenced the attack en the other to draw back , for if the power attacked were to do so it would be lost . ( Applause . ) There are now two powers ia tbe state , the executive and the legislative ; if the assembly now yields there will only be one power—then the form of government will have been chacged , the empire will exist . ( Immense cheers . )

      On Saturday the close of the general debate was pnt to the vote ad adopted . Tfie President of the Assembly then readthe several amendment * . M . St . Beuve demanded the priority of bis amendmeat . The President said that the pore and ample order of the day wu demanded . M . Baroche said that the government opposed this M .

      Fringe. Ixast Last Wednesday The Assembl...

      There was , therefore , a majority of 129 again ? , * ministers . The amendment of M . St . Benre is as follow .: — T ! he Assembly declares that it has not ' confidence in the ministry , and passes to the order of the day . Immediately on the rising of the Assembly , the Ministers went to the Elysee and placed their resi gnations in the hands of the Pcevd « , nt of the Republic , which he has accepted , but they will continue to carry on affairs until the formation of a new ministry .

      No new ministry has yet been appointed . Of course there are many rumours afloat , which embrace M . 0 . Barrot as the basis of tbe new ministry . Tbe secret societies seem to have taken advantage of the crisis to begin stirring . On Tuesday night , at nine , as the Union of Communes , ' was assembled with the Association of Cooks , at the Barriere Pigale , several brigades , headed by a commissary of police , invested the house of meeting , and arrested thirty-six individuals . On Wednesday morning twenty mere were added to the arrested . Several papers of a socialist character were seized , Since the separation of the National Guard from the chief command of General Changarnier , eighteen officers of the staff have resigned .

      SWITZEBLA D . The government of Berne ( says a letter from that city of the 14 th ) having lately determined to take measures respecting the political refugees , called , a few days ago , on a Prussian Jew , named Basswitz , who had been established at St . Imier since 1837 , to produce a certificate of his origin and other papers , but he was not able to do so , and orders were given to him to leave the canton . Daring many years he bad made himself very popular among tbe poor , by giving' tbera medical advice and assistance gratuitously , he being a physician . In -political opinion be is a great Radical , and has not only already laboured to spread

      his opinions in Switzerland , but has been in constant communication with the chiefs of the party in different countries . On receiving the order to leave , he attempted to induce the authorities of Neufchatel or Soleure to grant him the rights of citizenship , but they refused . The inhabitants petitioned the grand council against his removal ; the council , however , declined to interfere . The inhabitants thereupon made seditious movements , and threatened resistance . They planted two trees of liberty , but they were taken down by the authorities , and they began casting bullets . It is said also that some ' corps francs' have been called to their assistance . Iu consequence of all this the authorities of Berne have collected some

      detachments of infantry , cavalry , and artillery , and are prepared to march them at once to St . Iraier , in case of need . A commissioner of the government has already been sent to that place . The French ambassador has signed a passport to enable Basswitz to proceed to Havre . If he should not leave before the 16 th the government will send troops to occupy St . Imier .

      BELGIUM . In the Chamber of Deputies of Belgium , on Thursday last , the members displayed great agitation , and paid little attention to a speech on the war budget delivered by the Minister of War . When tbe Minister bad concluded , tbe President called on M . Sechamps to speak , but that gentleman was in the midst of an animated group . The agitation visibly increased , and at last , M . Maloa ascended the tribune , and said that it was impossible to deliberate in presence of the agitation of the Chamber , which was caused by a challenge having been sent by one member to another , in consequence of

      opinions expressed by bim in that place . He accordingly demanded that the Chamber should form itself into secret committee . This was agreed to , and the public were expelled . It then became known that Gen . Chazal had sent a challenge to ilLThiefty for having in the course of the debate asserted that certain statements respecting the Sardinian army made last year by tbe General , at that time Minister of War , were erroneous . The Chamber remained some time in secret deliberation . M . Thiefry , it is said , refused with much dignity to

      produce the letter which had been written to him by Gen . Chazal . One member demanded that a prosecution should be commenced against the latter for having violated the law against duelling . Another member recommended that an attempt should be made to conciliate the affair , and to this the Assembly appeared to lean . Eventually it was determined that M . Thiefry and Gen . Chazal should be invited to present themselves before the President in the course of the evening , and that a secret sitting should be held next day to receive a communication from the President on tbe result of tbe interview .

      Tbe Rogier ministry , desirous of reducing tbe present army expenditure of Belgium to 25 , 000 , 000 francs , lately entrusted the ministry of war to Geo . Brialroont , on the understanding that he was to act up to the view of the rest of tbe Cabinet in the plans for reduction . Gen . Brialmont accepted tbe appointment , but instead of carrying out the views of his colleagues , announced in the Chamber , on Monday , tbat be could not realise any of the reductions proposed . Hereupon a scandal took place in the Chamber , and the ministry is said to be on the eve of dissolution . GERMANY .

      Tbe Dresden conferences have ended in a return to tbe old Buudesakt and the superannuated Diet at Frankfort . The differences between the executive council ( engereratb ) as it is in future to be constituted as it stood before , are slight . The votes are to be 9 instead of 17 , as heretofore , aud are divided as follows : —Austria , including the non-German states—Sclavonian and Italian , 2 ; Prussia , 2 ; Bavaria , Ij . HanOver aud Saxony , 1 ; Wurtemberg and Baden , 1 ; the grand duchy of the electorate of Hesse , 1 ; aud the remaining states , 1—iu all , 9 votes .

      The new apportionment of votes in the revived executive council of the diet at Frankfort , is raising such a cloud of protests and such a storm of discontent , that nothing but confusion seems likely at present to be the result of the Dresden conferences . Luxembourg and Holstein , tbat is , tbe Netherlands and Denmark , have protested against the new federal constitution . They — important placeshave by this constitution only a fraction of a vote at the Diet , whilst Wurtemberg , an insignificant place compared with these , has an entire vote .

      From Baden and the'free cities , ' a similar protest is expected ; asd all the small states are likely to follow these examples . Tbe second committee ot the conferences have not been able to come to any agreement with respect to the boundaries between the competency of the Plenum and that of the States Councils . Austria wishes to refer all to the States Councils , but Prussia feels herself safer in the Plenum , and the middle states are , on this point , with Prussia . Dissension , it is thought , may possibly spring np betwixt Austria and Prussia eat of this question .

      PRUSSIA . On the 18 th inst . the 150 th anniversary of the erection of the Electorate of Brandenburg into the Kingdom of Prussia took place . The Elector , Frederick the Third , was invested with the Royal dignity in January 1701 , was crowned at Konigsberg with great pomp aud solemnity on the 17 th , and established on the I 8 th the Prussian order of the Black Eagle , still the 'highest order of the State , as the Chapter only admits thirty-six members .

      There was a grand banquet , at which the King was present , and proposed three toasts , one to the Past , second to the Present , and the third to the Future , ' and on this toast he said , 'Few of us will outlive the next fifty years , but we all desire that they may be years of pure blessing for this royal honie and this brave people . Once again , gentlemen , 'The Past , the Present , and the Future /'

      SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN . Count BevenCiow has been appointed Commis . sioner on behalf of the Dachiea to confer with tbe Austrian and Prussian Commissioners . The Stadt . holderate has been dissolved , and it is said that public opinion approves the course which has bees adopted . Austrian troops still continue marching " , so it is said , bnt not without contradictions , towards Holstein . General Hoorst has sent a favourable address to the troops .

      several times , bnt as often withdrawn . With respect to the Queen ' s feelings on tbe subject , her Majesty is a true daughter of Ferdinand VII ., and a great adept in dissimulation . It is said that when Senor Pidal and the other Ministers asked her Majesty what she intended to do ( after the resignation of General Narvaez had been accepted , ) her reply was , that she intended to go to bed , atd should consider the subject the next day . Bravo Murillo has read to the two chambers his programme of government , which is summed up in respect for the law , and impartiality and economy in the administration . He promises to present a plan for settling the debt without , however , giving any details .

      ROME . A letter from Rome , of the 11 th , states that the Roman police has made some more domiciliary visits with a view to discover the authors of certain clandeivine ^ publications . Count Bermont , an old French officer , is now at Rome ; it is generally believed he has been sent by the French Cabinet in order to or ganise a pontificial army by ordinary conscription . Five drajoons posted at Caprarola ( Romagna ) have deserted with their aros and horses , and gone over to the banditti of II Passatore .

      The' Owervatore Dalmato' quotes correspondence from Herzgovine and the adjoining provinces , from which we glean the following intelligence . Oh the 27 th ult . a party of 100 insurgents arrived at Duvno , and committed several acts of violence , besides attempting to gain over the inhabitants to their party . The band afterwards left Duvno , and marched in the direction of Zupagnaz , but has not since been heard of . Tbe insurgents still keep a strong detachment at the bridge of Kogniza , on the confines of Herzgovine and Bosnia , to oppose the march of the Seraskier . The latter had sent a body of 1 , 600 men to take possession ef the bridge , but he tidings of their success had been received .

      Monsignor Raffaele Barissie , Bishop of Herzgovine , who resides at Sconizza , Duvno , has received several messages from Kavas Pacha , the insurgent chief , in one of which be advises the reverend prelate to make up his mind to be cut in pieces shortly . It is even stated tbat about twenty insurgents had twice attempted to put the threat into execution . A letter from Fort Opus , dated the 2 nd , announces tbe arrival in tbat place of tbe Bembasha ( Major ) of tbe Ottoman troops , who landed lately at Satorina . Ali Pacha , Visit of Herzgovine , has removed from Buna to Stolaz , so that the insurgents of Mostar have a wider field for their operations , The Austrian merchants—Senenfelds , Andre , and Kluki—have left their establishments , and taken refuge at Fort Opus . The fortified village of Pocitelj is under the command ef Rustau Beg .

      from Buenos Ayres there is no political news o importance . Preparations far war continued to be pushed forward as expeditiously as possible , and the government sought , by all possible means , to cast the odium of the rupture upon Brazil , denouncing , in terms the roost violent , its Cabinet , its policies internal and external , and their Europeanizing tendencies . The commercial crisis at Buenos Ayres had neither passed away nor in any way mitigated . The number of failures had been increased by several important additions , and severe distress was experienced by many who still contrived to straggle against the pressure which the

      enormous and sudden fluctuations in specie and exchanges , and the numerous stoppages had occasioned . The general opinion was , that the worst was yet to come , and all confidence was destroyed . The ' Roman Observer , ' of tbe 11 th inst ., announces the arrival at Rome of Prince Paskewitch of Rossis , Prince Poniatotvski , and the Archbishop Wladika of Montenegro . Tbe same journal publishes a list of twenty individuals condemned for highway robbery and murder , im the 27 th ult ., by the Council of War of Bologna ; sixteen , capitally convicted , bad been executed , and the four others were sentenced to four , six , and twelve years' hard labour .

      A decree of the Council of Administration of the kingdom of Poland prohibits the introduction from abroad , or the publishing within the realm , of any print , picture , or lithograph representing any subject from Scripture history , or referring to Christian rites of worship , or to religion generally , unless it is first examined and approved by the officials of the diocese . The same prohibition extends to casts , sculptures , medals , rings , or carved work . Without this previous permission such objects cannot be prepared ,

      imported , or sold . By an ukase of tbe 16 th of May , 1849 , the Polish nobles were forbidden to wear their beards ; as it has not been strickly observed , it has been again brought to the notice of the woits and magistrates . The ground of this singular ukase is tbe Russian law , that every one wearing an uniform , or having tbe right to were one , is forbidden to wear a beard . As tbe Polish nobility have the right to wear an uniform , and to be called into the military service ef tbe State , they are included in the prohibition .

      A curious fact has just transpired with reference to the golden civic crown which certain nameless citizens of Leipsic presented to Manteuffel a fortnight ago . This splendid present turns out to have been a stock piece in the window of one of the Leipsic goldsmiths , and to have been originally made for Robert Blum , the Leipsic patriot , whose untimely end at Vienna prevented it from being presented to him . The reminiscences which thus attach to the article must be highly gratifying to its pressnt possessor .

      In New York at an entertainment given to Captain Matthews by the mayor and corporation , Captain Matthews stated the following facts : ¦— ' I happen to be / said Captain Matthews , ' tbe oldest steam-ship captain across the Atlantic , having come over in the Sinus . I have now made ninety-nine steam voyages between the two countries , fifty to America and forty-nine from it , and if I live to return , I shall have crossed the Atlantic by steam one hundred times . ( Great cheering , and three cbeers for the pioneer of ocean steam trips ) . During the whole time I have met with no mishap , if I except the loss of one man in this voyage , who was washed overboard during a heavy gale , an event which , though unavoidable , I deeply deplore . '

      Accounts from Malta state that there is a threatening of fresh disturbances of a serious nature at Cephalonia , given rise to by the return to his conbtituents of the representative for that island , whose motion for the annexion of the Ionian Islands to Greece has recently led to the dissolution by the Lord High Commissioner of the Ionian Parliament . The Radicals of Cephalonia have thought proper to get up meetings on the occasion , and make speeches hostile to tbe British protectorate . Her Majesty's steam-frigate Spiteful was immediately ordered off from Malta to Cephalonia . She left on the evening of the 11 th , and the Scourge , war-steamer , and one of the ships of the line , under the command of Sir William Parker , are preparing to follow , to support the Lord High Commissioner in any measure he may deem it fitting to adopt .

      _ Hbe Greek government has announced its intentioh of presenting a new bill on tbe subject of elections , audas a preparation for the measure it has addressed a circular to the prefects , directing them to collect all the information they ca n obtain on the subject . In the United States railroad riots between the Connaught men and the Far-downers ( Irish la . bourers ) have been quite tbe rage of late .

      On the 16 th October ult ., in Aleppo , a disturbance took place iu the streets . The object of the mob , which is stated at about 5 , 000 , was to destroy all the Christian churches , which they did , and many persons were killed and plundered . At last a new Pacha was appointed , and be entered the city with 4 , 000 troops , and very speedily put an end to the matter . It is not known how many have been killed—some say 500 , others 1 , 500 . One man , the other day , was bastinadoed most dreadfully , to make him bring back more of the stolen goods , and he had brought a large quantity . At last he said , * Let me go to my house and I will bring more . ' He went with some soldiers , and when they let go of him he ran and threw himself into tbe well , and was

This the Pasha has promised to pay back . He gave notice that in so many days all the property must be returned . Much has been brought , but the gold , diamonds , and pearls are mostly missing . This is the last day of grace . Afterwards there is to be an auction of the goods to pay back as far as it will go .

      Death Akd Burial Op General Bem. A Lette...

      DEATH AKD BURIAL OP GENERAL BEM . A letter dated Aleppo , December 10 th , gives the following painfully interesting particulars of the end of this bravo soldier : — " A higher power has interposed to determine the duration of poor Bern ' s detention in this place . I have just returned from his funeral . You know I stand very little upon ceremonies , yet there is a melancholy pleasure in observing the rites paid to a fellow exile by foreigners in a strange land . Bern's sickness was neither very long nor painful ; a month before his death he was riding out . Some slight attacks of ' fever gave him no anxiety ; and he could not be persuaded to take any medicine until three or four days before his death .. His dwelling

      lay very low between gardens , near the banks of a river . According to the unanimous opinions of physicians the spot was exceedingly unhealthy . Their admonitions , however , were disregarded . Every physician told him that his frame , weakened with wounds and hardships , had not vital force sufficient to withstand an attack of fever , which would be dangerous to a strong man , and which might in all probability be avoided by leaving his unhealthy dwelling . In the evening he complained of pains in the abdomen ; about eleven he said ho felt better , and slept with few intermissions until two , when he died . At ten next morning , as we went to visit him , his body lay extended on a bier , and several persons were enffa'jed in washing and dressing the

      corpse , while mollahs were praying around . The washings ended , the body was wound in a sheet and placed in a coffin , at the foot of which hung his fez A coloured shawl was spread over the coffin . A military interment is a thing unknown in Turkey ; however , on this occasion , Keriin Pasha , the commandant , the French and English consuls , many officers , and an immense crowd of soldiers , assembled . The . procession moved on without much order . From twenty to thirty mollahs marched first , and began a monotonous and frightful laillaha-illalia . We carried him to the door , and would have gone further to his place of rest , but Turkish etiquette forbade . A great rush took place , and every one was anxious to catch a last

      glimpse of the coffin . Strong divisions of military were posted on the line of procession , many of the soldiers of which pressed forward to carry toe coffin , even old Kerira Pasha would insist upon bearing a hand . Near Friedhofe the coffin was deposited in the grave of a saint , where prayers were said . Arrived at the gravo the body was taken out of tbe coffin and deposited in a gravo five or six feet deep , this head lying towards Mecca . Tho threads by which the winding sheet was secured were then cut , and the grave was filled up with large flat stones . The promise , which Bern had often repeated of late to relate to us the entire history of bis life , has not been fulfilled . It is stated that he was only fifty-six years of age , although he appeared much older . His body was uncommonly weakened , but his restless spirit retained its force and vivacity to the last . From the moment of his transition to

      Islamism , all his efforts were directed to make his knowledge and experience useful to his new fatherland , and the Sultan , whom he greatly esteemed . I can say very little of his political belief : it is certain that he was anything but a democrat , and hated Socialism . He was heart and soul a soldier . The aims which he set before himself he followed up with great perseverance . His conversation was lively and intellectual ; he was especially lively when speaking in tbe French language , of which he was completely masteri He bore his detention with great resignation , ' and was quite resolved to close his tumultuous life here . He had laid the foundation of a saltpetre manufactory here , and had sent specimens of his manufacture to Constantinople , whence he was empowered to proceed with his works on a great scale , at tbe cost of the government . He was also requested by the government to give his superintendence to a large manufactory of arras .
