      FfiANCB . On Friday General Lahitte , the Minister o f YoreranAffaiia , announced to the Assembly , in the following terms , the settlement of the dispute with Eng land on the Greek question : — « Gentlemen , — We have toannouuceto you that the British governmen t has consented to substitute for the convention of Athens the stipulations concluded at London on the 19 th of April , between onr ambassador and the English minister . (' Oh , oh ! ' « Very good « ' ) You will be able to recognise that in the whole course of this long negotiation the French government has been constantly animated with the desire of maintaining the national dignity , and preserving peac within the limits of this dignity . (* Very good f ) la consequence , the ambassador of France will return . 10 resume in Eneland the position which he

      occup ied before the 14 th of May , as the convention which he had concluded for the arrangement of the asairs of Greece is to be executed . ' The sitting of the Assembly was hardry open ed lfhen M . Flaudinmada his appearance in the tribune to read his report on the Dotation Bill , the Chamber haviag desired to hear it in full . The ministers , h « » id , had been twice heard by the committee in order to rive explanations . The bill demanded the opening of a credit of 2 , 400 . 000 fr ., to be reckoned from the 1 st of January , for expenses of representation . . The committee expressed nearly unanimously its regret at . the inopportuneness of this demand . Nevertheless , it acknawl dged the exp ediency of

      coming t < i an understanding with ministers . The minoritv represented that the Constituent Assembly had nut intended to fix permanently the allowance of the President . , The committee could not admit the theory of ministers . On the other hand , they acknowledged that old customs did not allow the expenses of representation of the President to be restricted wilbin the narrow limits assigned by the Constituent . Without admitting either the form or tenor of she ministerial bill ; without admitting the motives brought by ministers in support of their app lication ; finall y , without pretending to grant a civil list , the committee has thought it just to grant the expenses of establishment and installation of the

      President . The majority fixed at l , 600 , 000 fr . the figure of this grant . It has acted as a jury , with the intention of allowing to the President a natural compensation for his outlay . Unfortunately , the ministers have not thought fit to change either the terms or the spirit of their piimicive project . They bad maintained both the form and the tenour of this bill . They had refused to change the character of the credit . All conciliation appearing impossible , the comiiiiuee was obliged to put the question to the vote . Nine votes . against six had rejected thegovermnant bill . Nevertheless the majority , in thus pronouncing itself , had not adopted the idea of admitting every amendment which should be presented by the minority . The majority was neither moody nor alarmed ; it had confluence in the government .

      One incident ought , however , to be mentioned . While ific committee was deliberating it received a petition , addressed to the National Assembl y , signed by a great number of the inhabitants of Pari . * , praying that the President ' s salary mig ht be raised to six millions . ( Clamour on the Left . ) - The President said that the report should be printed , and the project of the allowance of 1 , 600 . ODOir . discussed on Monday . The house was agitated considerably for some time after this communication . The amendments of the commutes are as follows : — 'Art . 1 . An extraordinary credit of l , C iO , O 0 O . r . is opened to the Minister of Finance , for the expenses which have been incurred in 1819 and 1850 , in consequence of the insiallalian of the President of the Republic . Art * 2 . This credit shall be charged by halves upon the bud gets of 1849 and 1850 . '

      We fiiisJ the following in the ' Saint Public' of Lyons of the 19 ih : — M . de Lamartine passed through ' otir city yesterday , en . route for Symrua . The measure adopted by the Prefect of Police in his late circular with respect to the refugees in the French territory has been imitated by the Mayor of Bjrdeauz . Jn a circular to bis subordinates , that functionary instructs them to institute a rigorous inquiry into the conduct and situation of those persons , and their means of saining a livelihood , with the view of separating the really pacific and welieondartcd from those turbulent foreigners who may be disposed to abuse the privileges allowed of residence in France , and who are ever ready to make common cause with domestic conspirators . The examp le of the Mayor of Bordeaux will , no doubt , be imitated by the authorities of other towns where refugees zra stationed .

      * An incendiary placard was found affixed on the walls of the town La Gu'llotiere . near Lyons , on the 19 tb ins ! . The placard is a formal summons to inaurrec ' -ion , and is signed'The Central Committee of Resistance , ' and dated ' Paris , June , 1850 . It was taken doan by the police , and an inquiry has been set on foot to , if possible , discover the authors . After uttering the most terrible menaces of speedy vengeance on ' the majority which has usurped the right ot the people , ' and having marked oat fur the poniard the leaders of that majority , and in particular M . Thiers , the authors of the document terminate in the following manner : — ' Tes . people , jou expected from your representatives who sit on th 4 Mountain an energetic solution . You

      awaited the signal to rise and administer justice This revolution , this signal , you await still ! For this weakness , or this cowardice , you . will soon exact an account . But side by side with them , people , remember that there are men who have no donbt of yon , who have ao fear for themselves , and who are watching over you . They tell you ' The Republic is in danger ! ' The revolution , with one vioce , invites you to a speedy rendezvous ! Prepare yoJir ** lves for this last struggle . Watch ; cratch ! y ? e watch ! Fire fa RepuMique . '

      PARIS , Mosuay . —To-day the Assembly grappled at last with the Dotation Bill . Notwithstanding the excessive heat the house was crammed in every part . The ladies were very numerous , and expressed ttatir political tendencies by white dresses . Some representatives appeared on return from distant missions to be present at this important vote . M . Foold , the Minister of Finance ,, opened the debate by declaring , in the name of the government , that it accepted the amendment which proposed' to open to the Minister of Finance an extraordinary credit of 2 , 161 , 000 fr . for the expenses of the President of ihe Republic' The government consented to adopt this form , because it implied no reflection on the past ; because it relieved the bill of those features which were acctaed of betraying an arrierepensee ; and , while it reserved the future , maintained equally the dignity of the legislative and executive

      powers . M . Mathieu de r , A Drome said , I will nei t her vote 2 , IC 0 . 000 fr ; nor l . GOO . OOOi ' r . I will not consent to an extraordinary credit or expense of installation . I respect the elect of the people , but I do not like those who surround him . These persons find the Elrsee too small—they want the Tuileries . The President has been educated in the school of misfortune ; it is sot he who is in want of money . Those wh . i incite the President have not considered the consequences . Is it not strange that tbey should avow that the man who directs our public affairs cannot administer his own r It is said that the President does much good . Society should provide for

      the distressed , but in investing the President of the Rep ublic with this duty it deprives the country of his valuable time . The measure , has the effect of lowering the Presidehtiajublic opinion . It is a reminiscence of royalty , a shred of purpte that is thrown over the shoulders of the nephew of the emperor . Kings aud emperors have need of wealth ; a usurped power can only exist by means of benefits conferred . Understand , then , the difirVrence between monarchy and the presidency . Royalty is a fiction , the presidency is a reality . Hence the hereditary nature of royalty , because the person is nothing , and the temporary nature of the presidency , because the person is all in alL Da not counterfeit royalty . Forget

      the cradle of M . Louis Buonaparte ; he owes his royalty to chance , his glory to the choice of a great people . Gentlemen of the majority , this is the time to exp lain yourselves . What do you want ? Will you have ah aristocratic republic ? It would be madness . You will never have an aristocracy proceeding from the bosom of that bourgeoisie which has behind it 1830 and 17 S 9 , which is euriched by the property of the clergy and the nobility . ( Murmur * . ) Yon may venture to restore the titles of nobility , buUhey would bat be epitaphs for tombs . Aristocracy is for ever gone in France . Do you want a monarchy ? which ? Begin by agreeing among yourselves , and then a ^ ree with the people .

Ma thieu ; What yon do without the people , the people will undo without you . liyou have monarchist hop ?« they are not founded omthe President of the epublic ; your ideas , your affection- ; , are elsewhere .

I 0 PP ° » it because it would encourage insane hopes .. I oppose it because the people are dying of hunger . M . Sevestbb complained of the unseasonaUeness of the bill , which he opposed ; " ¦' - . .. ¦ " ' '" which the

      After a debate as . to the order in propositions should be discussed ^ the Assembly settled that the amendment accep ted , in the -nanurof the government by M . Fould , and presented by . M . Lefevre Durufle and four other members of the minority committee , should have . . the . priority . General Changarnier then occupied the tribune , and spoke amid deep silence . He counselled them to erant the credit demanded , ' as became a great assembly in dealing with tie representative of a great country . -- . ' The ballot then took place , when there appeared in favour of the amendment 354 , against it 308 . This result was received with loud cheers . : M . Leo de Laborde proposed an amendment that from the promulgation of the present law , t he pay of representatives should be reduced to 6 , 000 fr . a jear . The previous question was voted , and then the sitting broke np .

      Tw ? nty-seven persons , all of them convicts oj June , 1848 , and who bad returned to Paris in virtue of the President ' s pardon , were arrested on Sunday at Belleville while in the act of deliberating'in close committee . The conspirators were astounded when the police , who have been watching them for Eoni ? time , made their appearrnce . It is stated that papers of an important kind , and which will lead to serious disclosures respecting parties here and elsewhere , were seized at the same moment . : Paris , Tuesday . —M . Laugrand , the editor of

      the' Vuixdu Pueple who-was : yesterday , sentenced to four years' imprisonment and a fine of lO . OOOf ., for an article published in that paper . He did not appear , ' and it has now been ascertained that he has taken refuge in Belgium . ' It was , in fact , time for this gentleman to escape . The number of years imprisonment for alleged libels to which ' he has been sentenced , on prosecutions at thY instance of the government , exceed , in the aggregate , a century , and the fines to several hundreds of thousands of francs . ' . •' - '"'¦ ¦

      Another of those extraordinary instances of persecution ( for they go by no ¦ " other name ) in which the French authorities have recently indulged , has just occurred in the department-of the Seine and Maine . A Madame Hourseaux , living at Fontenelles , who had just received a journal ( a Republican journal , of course ^ from Paris , lent it -to a friend . For this she was prosecuted for the hawking without licence , and the criminal tribunal of Provins sentenced her , by default ; to a month ' s imprisonment and a fine of twentv-five francs ! Both

      the prosecutor and the defendant appealed' to the tribunal of Melon , the prosecutor declaring that the punishment awarded by- the court of Provins was insufficient . An able advocate from Paris defended Madame Hourseaux , but the court confirmed the sentence of the court below ; only reducing the imprisonment from one month to eig ht days . Here , then , is a respectable woman subjected to prosecution , fined and imprisoned , for lending a newspaper to ¦ a friend . This is the second case of the same kind that has happened within the last two months . .-. ; . ' •"

      The question of the , prolongation of the powers of the President of the Republic is to be shelved till the agitation on the dotation shall have calmed down . The . intention of the government 1 is to agitate tba question in the conceits gereraux , which meet in September . . Petitions will then he got uppraying the present Legislative Assembl y , to' proclaim itself a Constituent Assembly , with a view to an alteration in that portion of the Constitution which prevents the President from being re-elected .

      GERMANY ; BERLIN , June 21 . —The Erfurt parliament will not meet before the beginning of August .. A new electoral law is in preparation for the Union . The Grand Duchy of Hesse has seceded from the Erfurt Union . The prime minister is . about to resign inconsequence . More provincial pap e rs have had the post debit withdrawn . Stralsund is to be made a naval port , and

      dockyards are to be established . The editors of several of the Berlin journals have held a conference to discuss the measures which they ought to adopt in order to overcome the disadvantage caused by the loss of the post debit . ' As the postage of each single copy ofa journal , would be too great for either subscribers or publishers to pay , and as the post-office has a ' monopoly of . all parcels under forty pounds they resolved on talcing advantage of the railways , and on establishing private newspaper transport agencies !

      Three pamphlets have been confiscated in ' all the bookseller ' s shops , One of . them , ... is entitled , 'Jesus Christ the First Democrat . ' In searching for the pamphlets in question in the " shop of a bookseller , named ' Springer , who is also a member of the town council , a book was found by ( he police , the title of which has not been published , but which is said to contain treasonable allusions to the King . The owner of the shop was immediately arrested .

      AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . An English eng ineer-officer , named Charles Astoni who served'in the Hungarian army at Comoro , was carried as a prisoner through Vienna a few days ago to the station of the ,, northern , line ,, in which he was accompanied by a sergeant and a small guard to the frontier of Austria , where he was set at liberty . . : . !

ROME , — June I 4 . i-Tfie principal event " which has lately taken place' in the internal administration of this country , ia the promulgation of General Kalhermatten ' s p lan , for the" new organisation of the Roman army , as approved - by . 'ihe government of his Holiness . The minister ' s order of , the day , which appeared in the official paper of the 12 th , aims at making a favourable impression upon the troops , by convincing them of the ' superior advantages to be conferred upon them . :

      The Papal army , according to the new plan , will consist of three regiments of infantry , each' containing- three battalions of ei g ht hundred men-One of these regiments will be composed of picked men , and distinguished as guards .-Besides these three regiments of infantry / 'there' will be a battalion of chasseurs of eight companies , armed with rifles like the French Carabines de Vincenhes . The cavalry will consist of only one regiment , or four squadrons , of which one will be formed of picked men . The artillery is to comprise three field batteries of eight pieces each and five batteries of unmounted cannon . A quarter of each company will • be considered as scelti ; or picked irieriV Four companies of veterans and ond of invalids complete the materiel of the army . It ' is doubtful bow far the minister will- succeed in

      obtaining recruits , since most of the fighting men in the country have already wielded their arms ' foi ; the republican cause , either as national gdards , volunteers , or regular-soldiers , and , therefore , could not be trusted ; as : sincere ' ¦ Papal sbldiera . . The ' whole plan as yetexists only on j iape ' r , and , 88 a million or two of dollars will be' the preliminary step to realising it , the present state of the' finance ' s /; will probably prevent its getting any farther . ; ,: ' ' Another'proclamation appeared upon the 12 th stating that the government had grounds for supposing that ,, in spite of the former proclamations upon the same subject , numbers of arms' and warlike stores were concealed by the inhabitants o f Rome and the environs , and' summoning allindividuals who had any kind of weapon in their posses ' swn to deliver them up within the peremptory terra of ; seven days . .

The . vessel was hauled out of dock on thelSth of March , and" we arrived atiNewiYork ' onthe 5 th of April , - and landed on

      the 6 th , making apassage in twenty-four days . ' A great many of us put ' ouf luggage toge ther on tindeck , andhad a steam-tug alongside the vessel ; and all . the luggage put on her ¦ and , taken to the Troy steam-boat , and started , for : Troy the same evening ; We went from . Ttqv to Buffalo , on the railwayi . r ' om Buffalo . to Milwaickie , by . steam-boat .. When we arrived , in Milwaickie , there were two . men at Mr . tSimpson ' s , one , whose name is Kirkham , from the ' Potteries . They told . such ; dep ' orable . tales about the laii'd '' that they were . not belieyed . ' ^ Th ' ey were classed $ rnong the rest who ' , were calie ' d lazy , of " enemies to the society that . said anything against

      the land that ' did not please the managers ' of t he societyjbut weall said we would go and see the land for ourselves . - We hired a ^ tearfl to fake us from Milwaickie to Fort WinebagOj i which we paid twenty dollars for . Two other teams went up t 6 the Iand i and the rest - followed in ra day or ¦ two after . . When we , got to ihe / Fort , and got the children right " , I went up . . to the lai * d toy self Phili p my son , / not being . ahle , io-walk ,, haring a b » d . knee , with walking agreatpartj ot the way frorn , Milwaickie . f «; ent to the store , and got my ate . wedges , and , butting rings ' . - A lot ' of us took our axes with ' us and . went to look for our land , but . we could find none good but' which was )' claimed

      mostly bythe Yankees ! ' There is some' good l _ and , atJout twen ' ty ' - ' rHiles frOm fheforl , and abipu |; ' 'twelve from- the first-stdre > but , taking italtogetfier ; it la a very b ' adllot-i-iiisso full of' sand-banks , v l ^ went three or four times to the' land to r get . some- good ; but could ; not meet ^ wi th any without going eighteen or twenty miles up in the woods , and ; Ann would not go .:. The . society is a pour , concern ; . and ;« those who wrote such nice letters about the good qualities of the land . have ( an interest in it in some , shape or otlier . ; Ym . will , ' jperhaps , rememljer a letter appearing in ' ' the ' PoUers ^ Ex ' aminer that a man sent , rijbtn'the land , staling ' whaVanue vineyard he had , and that it would find hls'famiW full employment to

      look after their dairy . The ' 8 ame" ' man has been nearly ! starved to death—he has not got even a . watercloset , to the house ; he now lies ill in bed . One of thelmembers ! put an . ' Examiner , ' before him , : and asked ! him what made him send such , a letter as that , ; and he in such a state . He replied ,, ' I had an , interest ! iri . 8 o ! do ' ing . Nearly > , all the colonists ihaverM j nothingbu ^ ahd water to live on all the winter ,. and sometimes they , have got . a little molasses and ' salt pork ; ' some that are ! in favour have . a little better food than the rest . - When we got , up to the'land there was scarce ' any food . in the store . ; I went into one hdusei' and '• they said' they would lask' me to have so ' metbihg '! fo eat'bdt they

      had'h q thing in the house hut a bitof flii'dr . ' This put rh ' e'iri irrJind of two letters—one ; qf Peter Watkiris , stating they had gota good stock of provisions , and the settlers would , have , nothing- :: to fear . in the coming winter ; . but it does not appear so when the settlers have been living ,-on flour ; and , water .. Tl e other letter was . thai which Cartledge read from lb / - Northern Star , one Sunday ni gh t ; when you were all at pur house , stating what sand banks the . land liad , and how badly the ' settlers were off for food ; That letter stated true , ' and . rainy things kre . Worse than that letter statetl . iUin ia be . If aman ' gel ^ on that' land with " a '; large family arid ' very . little money , he will never be '" ' worth a cent ; for if he works for the society be' gets but two thirds ior his labour ! to what'be can get elsewhere , and'has to

      lake'it out in store goods , and pay fifty per . cent ; more for , his goods , thani what ; he could ; get 1 , them elsewhere .. .. It is , impossible ; for a man to get on , having so little for . ; his labour , and payingsuch a high . price for his , food ., , A , man cor aiiig here with a little money , ' would . do best by getting ; 8 : piece of land near a town , as he would get one or two days work . when he wanted it .

Sih , —The minors of Great ' Britaih ^ are about to reap the fruits of their exertions in favour of Government Inspection of Mines , Sir George _ Grey having promised to bring in a bill on that subject in a few days . It would , perhaps , bo needless to state that the pressure from without ; together with the favourable report of Professor Philli ps , has had much to do in inducing the government to act in this praiseworthy manner . But there is one thing to ho taken into consideration by all tho mmers m the United Kingdom , and that is , the raising of a fund to appoint one or more from each district as a committee , to watch , the said bill .. At present we are in the dark as to the merits of the intended measure ' but " as'the session is drawinq ; to a ' close , hut' little time exists for delay to canvass the said T 1 IE'FIXERS ' OF THE NORTH .

      bill , and as we have ample experience of the alacrity with which honourable member ' s . have on former . occasions attacked previous measures of : ' is hature f wo may fairly estimate that should the measure be sufficiently " extensive and commensurate witli tho evils it is intended to remedy fhen they will ^ bo found at their posts , ready to cut away nil its efficiency , and thus leave the case as bad , if . not worsi , than before . Hence ' the necessity of the workmen bestiring themselves , and that in right ' good earnest ; no time for delay ; every day ia precious ^ and therefore let each locality set to work and collect , any one penny-per man ; . and also , if they possibly can , elect one of their body to form the contemplated committee ; correspond ' witlAhe other ! districts as speedily as-possible , and to keep up ' their contributions during the time the said committee shall be obliged to remain in London . Trusting that each district will . be up , and , doing , that . the work may be ' efficiently done . ¦ ¦ ¦¦¦
