      . "'¦ . '"'¦ FRANCE . Paris , Saturday . —The trial of the editor of the « Pouvoir * at the bar of Assembly called together an immense audience on Thursday . A chair was placed in the hemicycle in front of the bureau for the defendant . A small table , covered with a . green cloth , occupied the osual place of the first bench of commissioners , at the foot of which M . Chaix d'Estange , the advocate for the defence , was to take his defence . The President of the Assembly rose , amid deep silence , and said that in the sitting of the 15 th M . Bazehad called the attention of the Assembly to an article of the' Pouvoir , ' which seemed to him to

      attack the rights and authority which it held by the constitution , and to incur the penalties which were laid down in the law of May , 1819 , and in the decree of the Constituent Assembly of April , l » w . He therefore demanded that the responsible editor of this journal should be cited before the bar of the Assembly to explain himself with regard to the substance of the article , that they might see if there was ground for applying the penalties m question . The article had been printed and distributed ; the editor had been summoned , and he was ready to

      appear with the counsel which had been allowed him for feis defence . Bat he ( the President ) would first read a letter which had been addressed to him by several representatives . The President here read a letter , signed by Michel de Bsurges , and some twenty otter representatives of the Mountain , declaring that the Assembly was not competent to try offences of the press , which were , by the constitut ion , subject only to the jurisdiction of juries ; and On these motives the undersigned abstained from taking . any part in the trial of the . editor of the ' Pouvoir . ' The ' President said that the abstinence

      of members of the Assembly on this occasion , ac-¦ cordiog to his view , was perfectly legal ; but , at the same time , he looked npon the Assembly as justified in the course adopted , and competent to try attacks Upon itself . The Assembly having decided against the useless delay of calling over the names of the members present , . ihe President caused the defendant and his i counsel to be introduced . After the Speech of M . Chaix d'Estange , in defence of the accused , the Assembly caused the defendant and bis advocate to retire . They then voted-npon the question whether the defendant was guilty of ofrVnce against the Assembly . This was affirmed by 2731

      Votes against 154 . As to the second qaestion , whether the defendant was guiliy of attacking the rights of the Assembly , it was decided that there - was no occasion for deliberating on this . M . de Cronseilhes demanded that the Assembly should deliberate with closed doors on the-penalty to be inflicted . This was opposed by Jules Eavre , but the Assembly decided upon forming itself into a , secret committee . The public tribunes were then cleared . After deliberating wilb closed doors for an hour and a half the Assembly decided , by a majority of 275 against 119 , to fine the defendant 5 , 000 fr ., but not to inflict the punishment of imprisonment .

      -Two persons have been arrested on a charge of setting fire to the forest of Chartellerault , Vienne . The fire was prevented with the greatest difficulty from extending ^ Nineteen houses . were destroyed by fire on the 18 th insL in the commune of Tremblay le Vicircnte , Eure et Loire ; and six houses , with the whole of the crops and eleven cows , the same day , in the village of Cbantaloup were also destroyed . There is little doubt of this destruction being the work of incendiaries . . '• - ' . . The commune of Gennevilliers , Seine , continues in a state . of terror , in consequence of the repeated attempts cf incendiaries . A new attempt was made a day or two ago to burn the whole of the crops . Several hands of persons disguiser 7 as beggars have been observed prowling about .

      • The National Guard of Sens , with the exception of the sub-division , of cavslry , the company of artillery , and sappers , has been dissolved by decree of the President of the Republic . ...-.., ; . The' Monifeur' announces that M . EJavy , a naval surgeon , has been placed on the retired list by a decree of the President of the Republic , pursuant to the decision of a Court of Inquiry , and with reference to the unfounded statement contained in a letter addressed to » La Presse * by M . Havy some time since , and in which he asserted that the Marquesas Islands were unfit to he chosen as a penal settlement in consequence of their insalubrity .

      :. Sunday . —The New Electoral Law . —The definitive effect of the New Electoral Law is now known , and it has been ascertained that the number of Electors in France , which in 1848 amounted to 10 ; 500 , 000 , has been reduced to 3 250 , 000 , and Still the Conservative papers say that the principle of universal suffrage has not been infringed . If it bs true , as stated by the' Pouvoir , ' that none hare been excluded excepting houseless beggars and repris de justice , the number of these two classes in Prance must be uncomfortably numerous . —Morning Chronicle .

      • Monday . —Yesterday , though not distinguished by any political event ef importance , will be noted hi the . history of Paris as the day on which M . Margat made his ascent in a balloon from the Hippodrome , in the presence of the President of the Republic , and his descent , without the slightest injury , is one of the most crowded , quarters in the very centre of Paris . It had been announced that M . Margat , would attempt a second descant by means of his parachute . He had done so with success on the previous Sunday , and the President of the Republic , who appears to have a morbid feeling of interest ( probably from a fellow feeling ) in witnessing the performances of those who make

      very rapid ascents , and run the risk of coming down quite as rapidly , determined : to be present ; The day proved unpropitious . M . Margat and his balloon soon disappeared in the clouds . Hot knowing his whereabouts , he thought it to serious a risk to attempt the descent "in the parachute . He therefore remained in his balloon for an hour and a half , during which the clends had never allowed him a single glimpse of mother earth . Bethought , however , that he must be at a considerable distance fana Paris , and therefore prepared to descend . Great was bis astonishment to find , on emerging

      from the clouds , that he- was still hoverinz over Paris . By the time he made the discovery he had allowed so much gas to escape , and was so near the earth , that he had nothing for it but to make the best descent he could among the houses . Fortunately for him , he secured a footing on the top of a house in the Bus St . Anne , where prompt assistance reached him , and both he and his balloon were speedily placed on terra firma . The President has thus seen a successful ascent , but his period for witnessing the proper mode of coming down from giddy heigth is postponed for a short time .

      Tuesday . —Yesterday thePresidentproclaimed the result of the ballot for the committee of surveillance daring the prorogation . Only fifteen names had the required majority—namely , Odillon . Barrot , J . de Lasteyrie , Mouet . General St . Priest , General Chan , garnier , MM . d'Olivier , Berryer ; Nettement , Mole , General Lauriston , General Lam ' oriciere , MM . Beugot , de Mornay , Duke , of Montebello , and de Laspinasse . ' The ballot . for the remaining ten takes place on Tuesday . • " *¦?• - - -Wednesday . —In the sitting of the ; Assembly yesterday , the discussion of the budget was resumed . The last chapters of the budget of pnhlic instructions were ; adopted without any debate of

      interest . The house then passed to the budget of worship . M . Barthelemy St .- Hilaire opposed the increase of 3 , 000 fr . proposed on the salary of the director of worships , while the salaries of professors of science had been cut down by the committee . The figure of the committee was adopted . After the rejection of some reductions , proposed mm . Maigue and Bourzaf , the remaining chapters of the budget of worships were adopted without any remarks worth mentioning . The house then proceed to take in hand the budget of the ministry of the interior . . M . Versigny made an attack npon the police , which did not , however , prevent the chapter of secret funds from being voted . M . Schoslcher stirred an old and sore

      question , by moving an additional chapter for giving rewards to the combatants of June and February .. This nmendment having been opnesed ' fc yMM . Baroche and Berryer , and supported by 31 . Ducoux , was put to the vote and rejected bv 370 against 183 . Notbmgelseofinterestoccurred ; During the excitement created by the hew Electoral Law , the ' Voix da People' published a petition , signed by a great number of the inhabitants of Paris , against the measure . An action was immediately rased by the Procnreur-General against the editor for publishing , and the others for signing , the petition . The case came on on Monday before the Court of Assizes , when the jury returned a verdict of acquittal against all the parties .

      WAR IN SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN . - SCHLESWIG , Jnxr I 8 th . — The decisiv struggle between the inhabitant ! of Schle | wie

      . "'¦ . '"'¦ France. Paris, Saturday.—Th...

      Holstein and the Danes is rapidly approaching Hhe armies of both are separated butb >* very short distance . Indeed the advanced , posts havei already met , and a-iWffioXwWtacbw ^ at a small village ' called Bilscbau ,, wltbout ^ aDy damage beipg done t ^ ieither party ;; . \ The - Danish army is uudehfoe command ! of Generarvon Krpgh ; that of the Duchies , 8 sis well known , is commanded by General Willisen , whose head quarters are at pre ; sent here . Neither party waited for the expiration of the eleven days , within which the Prussian troops were to effect their withdrawal from Schleswig .. General Willisen advanced into Schleswig on the 14 tb , or the day before , and his example was

      followed by the Danish General on the I 6 tb , whea be earned his troops to enter the Duchy of Schleswig at several points . Two columns advanced from Sonderberg on that morning to Renkenis and Ovars , two villages on the road to Flensburg . The Danish army stationed in Jutland . marched simultaneously into Schleswig , and seven battalions from the island of Alsen were disembarked at Apenrade ; two battalions were immediately ordered southward to Flensburg ^ On the 1 7 th ( jestetdty morning ) the Danish troops entered . Flensburg , and immediately proceeded to occupy the surrounding villages . A smaller body of Danes have retrenched themselves at Homis , a small promontory which approaches very closely to the opposite coast of Sonde wit , from whence they came . Patrols from this body have been , seen beyond Glncisberg . Several'hundred

      Danish soldiers and . sauors , were landed yesterday on the island of Fchinara , ' which lies at the southeastern extremity of Holstein ; on approaching the island the Danish vessels were fired at by the Schleswig-Holstein batteries at Heiligenhafen , a small port on the continent of Holstein . On the western coast of Schleswig too a landing has been effected by the Danes at Hoves , of which they took possession . Two comptrollers of customs and revenue , Messrs . Krogh and Jansen , were seized , and sent on board the Danishships . Prom the above , it will be seen that the Danish infantry has marched to the southward in three separate directions , hut keeping close to the eastern coast . The ' Danish cavalry is also progressing towards Fiensburg in a southeasterly direction ; their line of march is-more in the centre of Schleswig .- . : - ¦ . '

      The : Schleswig-Holstein army , or I should say the greater portion . of it , is in position to the northward of this . ' ¦ - Five thousand men still remain here , hut immediately it is known that the . Danish army has been concentrated , ' they will , doubtlessly , join the more advanced body of . the army . . Every man of this little army is strengthened by the moral courage which the justice of his cause instils . They have but one : idea—the protection of their rights from . Danisb . aggression ; they are in a high state of discipline , are commanded by brave and intelligent ' officers , to whom they are deservedly attached , and will no doubt give a good account of themselyea in the coming fight . It is expected that the . armies will meet each other oh the battle field witbin a very few hours . -. . .... ; . v .

      . . The .. scene of : action will most probably , be within ten miles of this , and in the immediate vicinity of the mail road from Schleswig to Flensburg . The Danish array in the field will amount probably to 35 , 000 men . General Willisen . will be able to oppose to them—an army smaller in number perhaps , but infinitely . their ^ superior in unanimity and courage ; and , moreover ,. officered ¦ by abler

      men , . . Major Von . der Tarn , who in 1848 performed unheard of feats of bravery , combined with great military skill and discretion , though at the head of the most irregular body of free corps that ever existed , has been appointed a'lieutenant-colonel in the army of the Duchies , and is chief of the staff . ..- ' ., The Russian fleet is hovering about the coast between Flensburgh and Kiel . In the former port one of the steamers has run aground , and it is said there is not much hope of getting her off again . A division of the Russian fleet , with several Danish steamers , still lies off Kieil . The latter took pos ; session , on the 15 th , of several vessels belonging to the Duchy Of Hbistein , regardless , of the article in the treaty of the 2 nd inst ., which requires that all Danish intervention in Holstein must be preceded by an intimation to the Germanic Confederation . : ¦ •

      Letters : from Hamburgh of July 19 says : —A telegraphic dispatch from Cuxhaven , dated half-past eleven o ' clock this morning , states that ' cannonading of heavy ordnance has' been heard for about two hours , apparently in a north-westerly direction , the wind being north-east . HANOVER . —Both the Chambers of Hanover hare declared that they consider the peace concluded between Prussia and Denmark so dishonourable to Germany , and have called upon the government to do what the honour of the nation demands . "' ¦ '' ' ' *'

      HAMBURGH , July 19 . —The intelligence that the Danish naval force had taken possession of the Island of Fehmern , on the extreme eastern ' point of Holstein , which is only divided by a narrow sound > rom the mainland , has caused some sensation in this place , as being the first warlike fact Which has come to hand . BERLIN , July 19 .- ^ The Danish commodore . ; who ' . has his flag on board the Skiold ' . ' line-ofbattle ship , has announced to the consuls of

      neutral nations at Kiel that the blockade of that port and adjacent coast wijl . be -commenced forthwith . It is to be supposed that a Danish squadron will also appear in the North Sea , and that it will overbaul . aU vessels bound for Holstein ports ; among others , for Giuckstadt , & c , in the" Elbe . The Danish cruisershave already ; captured some small * craft upsn the eastern coast , and . . . prevent . all communication between Holstein and Schleswig by water . . .... .

      It is a notorious , fact that numerous volunteers arrive daily at Hamburgh from divers parts of Germany , for the purpose" of enlisting in . the Holstein insurrectionary army , and that their passports are cisefor Holstein by the local authorities in all directions . The divers German committees estab lished for the purposes of procuring money and supplies for Holstein are . active in many parts of the country . . Several members of the Hanoverian Chambers have drawn up and published an address to all thti ' r German countrymen . The following passage will suffice as a specimeh;— :

      ' German Brothers ! . According to the Berlin : treaty Schleswig ^ Hplstein ^ for ' which the German Confederation pledged its word ; for . which the whole nation , rose in arms , with whom our brave soldiers contracted a brotherhood of . blood—Schleswig-Holstein is . 'to be abandoned-: This is no peac - for a faithful German people . Let us now show thaVtbe German ' people—the people of 'Hanover' ' is incapable of abandoning their . brothers in ; the hour' of peril ; that we , so long as other assistance is not wanted , are resolved to . cast from us a disgrace which would bring' down , shame , on the German name and render us the laughing-stock , of all nations .

Count ^ Wilmoderi entered upon his functions as General Commanding the 5 th army upon the , 13 th' inst . The , disgrace ' of General Haynau continues to divide public attention

      with the i ' Virgin of Schleimbacb , ' : who ias excited general wonder , and a superstitious belief of a miracle , from her perspiring blood , which , unless we m , is a disease not unknown to medical men ; ahdat various time ' s recorded .

The second royal order prohibits the introduction of . foreign works without previous permission of the authorities . These arbitrary ordinances have arisen from an article published by the ' Patrie , ' seized , as you are aware , a day or two ago , iu which . the King was said to have insisted much on the convocation of the Cortes on the Queen ' s delivery day , and the Government blamed for acting alone in so delicate a cohjunc-
