      France. Paris, Phiday.—M. Barocbe Has De...

      FRANCE . Paris , Phiday . —M . Barocbe has declared distinctly in the Chamber that the law of tbe 31 st May is the banner of the ministry . This is the event of the day . On Friday in the Assembly M . de Dampierre brought up bis report on the election of General Durriea for the Lsndes , the presentation of which was to be the signal for the interpellations respecting the famous telegraphic despatch ol M . rancher . M . Dampierre declared that the committee , being ot opinion that the operations had been quite regsJar , and that there was nothing in the telegraphic despatch to complain of as an exercise of illegal pressure upon tbe electors , admitted the validity of tbe election .

      • M . Madier de Monjau maintained , on the contrary , that there could not be a more illegal and scandalous invasion of electoral freedom than the despatch in question ; and proposed thai the Assembly should remind the Minister of the Interior of the vote of censure which had been applied to him on loth May , 1849 , for abase of the telegraph . M . Leon Fancher sought to establish , by means of letters which he had addressed to the prefect of the Land's , that he had always recommended neutrality between candidates who should not profess an adhesion to extreme parties . He had deemed it his daty to add , in defence of society , that the frierds of order ought to give their votes only to a candidate who would take the engagement of defending the law of May .

      M . Emile de Girardin maintained the illegality of the despatch , which could have no other effect hut to interfere with tbe liberality of election . He attacked , ia spite of the remonstrances of the Assembly , tbe unconstitutionality of the law of May , reminded the Chamber of the gross abuse of the telegraph which had already earned an unanimous vote of censure for the Minister of the Interior when he was last in office , and announced that he should propose a similar vote upon the present occasion , which ought to meet with the concurrence oi M . Faucher himself , when he remembered that he bad , on February 22 . 1 S 4 S , required tbe impeachment of tbe ministry . Lastly , M . Girardin shifted the object of his attack , and took M . Dampierre , the reporter , to . task for the change which had come over his opinions since the address which he bad issued to his electors in April , 1848 .

      M . Dampierre gave M . Girardin tit far tat , and enumerated some of tbe metamorphoses which the talented editor oi the ' Presse ' had gone through since the same epoch . Finally he read some extracts from a pamphlet , entitled ' Guerre a I'Apostasie : M . Girardin peint par lui-meme . * M . Girardin had said that the executive power had been taken prisoner in 1848 . M . de Girardin replied that its capture was owing to its not having been defended . M . Barocbe , Minister of Foreign Affairs , defended the despatch , and maintained that the government bad the right to announce what system it desired to triumph . He declared aloud that the law of May 31 was the flag of tbe cabinet .

      Finally , tbe Assembly proceeded first to vote on the validity of the election , which was confirmed by 430 votes against 212 . The following motived order of the day , as proposed by M . Girardin was then put to the vote : — 'The Assembly , blaming the telegraphic despatch sent by the Minister of the Interior to the prefect of the Landes ou tbe 9 th of May , passes to the order of toe day . ' The Assembly " adopted , by a majority of 372 votes against 233 , the pure and simple order of the day . The sitting then broke up . At the commencement of the Assembly ' s sitting on Saturday an immense mass of petitions was presented , as renal , for tbe revision of the constitution and for the abolition of tbe law of May .

      The house then proceeded to the second deliberation on tbe National Guard Bill . MM . Napoleon Bonaparte and Pascal Dnprat proposed a preamble declaring that tbe national guard is instituted to defend tee constitution , tbe republic , aud the rights of tbe people . Both of these members supported with energy their amendment , and strove to prove that tbe groundwork of the new bill was counterrevolutionary . M . de Riancey , the reporter , opposed the amendment . He reminded the house bow from the earliest period of their popular institution , and so far back as 1791 , there had been a party that

      wished to create in the national guard a counterpoise against the army . He quoted a fragment of a speech of Robespierre to this effect , which was vehemently applauded by tbe Loft . Then , turning to the applauders , he exclaimed , ' Army against army , civil veat organised , this then is what yon desire . ' A tremendous uproar followed this apostrophe , in the midst of which M . Valentin was called to order . The most violent interpellations were exchanged between tbe two sides of the Assembly , without the possibility of distinguishing a syllable in the midst of the indescribable hubbub .

      Another tumult arose thus ;—M . de Riancey reminded the bouse that AT . Pascal Duprat had demanded tbe state of siege in 1848 . M . Duprat alleged , in justification of his proposal , that he had done so at a moment when eminent mea of the Right begged the executive power to fly from Paris , and to remove the seat of tbe Assembly to Bonrges . M . Deojoy exclaimed that the assertion of M . Duprat was a calumny , and challenged him to name the eminent persons to whom he alluded . M . Duprat called on the President of tbe Assembly to protect his independence and privileges , as a representative , against such violent denunciations ; and resisted tbe calls of the Right to name the parties .

      * M . de Larcy affirmed that the demand of which M . Duprat spoke was made by one of his own party , and not by a member of the Right . Thus would be effaced from history the line which M . Duprat sought to inscribe there . The Assembly then proceeded to vote on the amendment , which was rejected by 416 votes against 224 . PIEDMONT . In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on the 19 th insr ., M . Yalerio addressed interpellations to the ministry to clear up the following points : — 1 . If . the government was arranging , or wished to arrange , a concordat with Rome ? 2 . If a league was being concluded with the other Italian states ? 3 . "Why the marriage Bill had not been presented ? 4 . Why M . Siccardi had retired from the cabinet ? 5 ,

      Why the two vacant posts in the cabinets were not filled ? 6 . If the convention concluded with Austria in 1834 would be denounced ? together with several other questions . The Minister of Foreign Affairs said that , as regarded th « - state of negotiations with Borne , he begged the Chamber to excuse him from disclosing more than that the government was inspired with tbe best intentions to produce harmony between the spiritual and temporal powers , but would never sacrifice in order to obtain this end the duties of citizens or ministers . As to the second question , be could distinctly state that the rumour of the league was entirely false . 31 . Siccardi had retired from tbe cabinet on account of the weak slate of his health . The treaty concluded with Austria in 1834 had been denounced . He trusted the chamber would be satisfied with these

      explanations

      ITALY . Accounts from Home stale that the degradation of France is now comphle . The soldiers of the Grande notion are commanded by papal sbirri ! "W hat would the great Napoleon exclaim , could he for one moment look upon the doings of his nephew ' s army , and behold platoons of French soldier ? , not making the tour du monde , bat the tour de promenade up and davrn the Corso , in broad dayl ; ght , insuiting , ill-treating , and arresting peaceable citizens , for the shapes of their hats or the colour of their

      clothes , aud all at tbe imperious nod and beck of the papal police satellites ? No one is sa e from the ferocious attacks oi these legalised ruffians , these mild instruments of the paternal ecclesiastical government . Another English gentleman , Mr . Brothenoa , - was recently overhauled in tho Via del Tritone , and many other foreigners have been insulted in the streets in the grossest possible-manner .

      of their victims , besides taking them off to prison if all is not received in good part . All . ; Rome looks on with horror and dismay at such proceedings sanctioned and ' executeB ' by ; tbe ; ' generosity of trance , ' as General Gemeau / terms ' it .. Many ^ ns fortunates have . complained thatthey ; were ; not aware that wide ' . awakes" Or mourning dresses were prohibited , there being no edict whatever on the subject , but a thump ou tbe bead from a sbirri or a French corporal , is all the consolation they get in reply . An inoffensive young man , named Mimrao Petti , has actually been imprisoned for wearing mourning for . bis father!—mourning being construed by the jealousy of the Papal authorities , and the zeal of tbe republican General Gemeau , into an allusion of grief at the extinction of the Roman Republic !

      All arms are commanded to be given' up by a recent proclamation of General Gemeau . Not even British subjects or Roman princes are allowed to return a single gun in their possession for tbe protection of their ownprivateproperty , and all persons , no matter what nation they belong to , or what office they hold , whether they are consuls or anything else , are' to be subjected to domiciliary visits from the Papal police whenever they cheose to do so . The violence and injustice with which tbe unfortunate Romans have been treated for the last few days are generally attributed to the revengeful feelings of tbe government at seeing the

      antismoking demonstration so universally adopted , and to a desire to push the people to despair by every possible mode of annoyance and persecution , so as to bring about a premature attempt at insurrection , and then have a proper pretext for diminishing still more tbe already dwindling population by exile , tbe galleys , and the scaffold . For this purpose the sfiirri have now begun to find fault with the cut of people ' s beards , as well as that of their hats and dresses ; and the other morning they dragged off two persons noted for tbe length of hairy appendage to their chins , Sambuccietti ,

      the money-changer , and Cenciarelli , the raosaicist , to the barber ' s shop , with strict injunctions to that functionary not to leave a hair on their faces , an order which he complied with to such purpose that they might well have exclaimed on leaving the shop— ' Sure never face was half so smug ! ' whilst their republican friends , surprised at the metamorphosis , ........ grinned and stared Heighday ! what ' s here ? without a heard 1 Say , brother , whence the dire disgrace ? "What envious hand hath robbed your face ?

      One of the most respectable commercial men in Rome was imprisoned lately , on account of bis beard , unless , indeed , it was on account of his religion , for the person alluded to , Signor Flaminio Terni . is a convert from tbe Jewish to tbe Protestant creed , aud a son of tbe well-known Marco Terni , of Ancona , who rendered some important services to-the late'Pope Gregory XVI . Two circulars have appeared on the walls of Rome in spite of the soldiers and police . - One was in French , and I understand that it has been also abundantly distributed amongst the French officers , abjuring them to cease from persecuting the unfortunate Romans , assuring' them that the . recent squabbles between soldiers of the two nations were purposely brought about by the intrigues of the priests , and declaring that there was no sentiment

      of individual dislike towards them on the part of the citizens , but the profoundest ' disgust at their upholding so rotten a cause as that ef ecclesiastical regime . The other circular was in Italian , and ad . dressed to the Romans , exhorting them to ' support with patience the cruelties and persecutions of their paternal government , and to continue their passive hostility by abandoning > the two pernicious practices of smoking and gambling in 'the lottery , so as to embarrass more than ever the finances of the state . Pasqnin ' s last joke on the smoking demonstration has appeared in the form of a conversation between himself and his compeer , Marforio . i Why don ' t yon smoke ? ' says the latter . ' Because , ' replies Pasquin , ' the Republic is in the family-way just now , and the smell of the tobacco might prove detrimental to her . '

      Newa from , Rome to the 20 ih inst , states that the court-martial has pronounced sentence upon the soldiers accused of assaulting tbe French . Iu tbe first case two of . the accused-have been condemned to the galleys for life , and the other two ( or ten years . In the second case , of attempt to stab a French corporal , two Romans have been condemned to death , and two to tbe galleys for life .

      SPAIN . A most painful feeling has been excited in tbe public mind by a sanguinary attack made by the armed police upon the students of the universityan attack in which seven youths of eighteen or nineteen years of age have been severely wounded , and amongst them the son of Muchadas , the deputy for Cadiz , a youth of great promise , and young Uiloa , the son of a wealthy mdderadb . In consequence of a decree augmenting the matriculation fee to a sum beyond the pecuniary means of the students , who are for tbe most part youths of very slender resources , a great deal of discontent has been manifested among them , especially those belonging' to the medical and

      veterinary schools . One of the professors of philosophy , in an harangue made to his class , exhorted them not to follow the example of the caiqplosmeros . The students of medicine , on learning the epithet so unpolitical ! ? applied to them , assembled to the number of 400 or 500 , and proceeding to his class , hissed and hooted during the lecture . In tbe mean time Chico , the chief of the secret police , with a strong body of civil guards , horse and foot , and a number of police agents , made bis appearance as tbe students were leaving the University , and having

      met with some resistance in endeavouring to arrest some of the most noisy , charged the excited youth with great barbarity , wounding many and taking a great number prisoners . Great military precautions were immediately taken , as the poverty and distress of the labouring classes and the general discontent make the government look upon every symptom of tumult with uneasiness . A large body of the students have proceeded to the office of the 'Clamor Publico' to request that their cause may be pleaded in that paper .

      On the following day fresh disturbances took place . Tbe students unpaved the court to provide themselves with missiles against the police . An officer with troops of the line having been sent to reduce them to order , assured the students that those who had been arrested yesterday should be treated with all possible respect . Upon this the youths were pacified ; still it was expected that fresh riots would break out on the morrow ; and groups of students were seen gathering in a state of much excitement in the principal streets .

      General Espartero has sent a letter of condolence to the Queeh-Mother on the occasion of her late accident ; This letter has very much displeased the progresista " party , and has been much sneered at by the moderados , who , though they affect to respect the Queen-Mother , are too sensible that it is her exigencies thatform the principal difficulties in the government of the country . "' The Count de Thomar had a short time ago his

      wife ' s toother , a Mrs . Reid , at his house ; and was desirous ' of'having all his property placed ia her name ; for which end , it . is said , he made inquiries of the British authorities , to . know how far they would protect it in au eventual case ; hut I believe the encouragement was so weak that the desire was abandoned . The count knew full well his power was built upon delusion ,, and he anticipated that one dsy he -would be obliged to give au account of his possessions .

      The definitive ministry is formed as follows : — Jose Fefreira . Pestana , Minister of the Interior ; J . iaquim Fillippe de Soure , Minister of Justice Maride Miguel Branziai , Minister of Finance Antonio Aluizio Jervis de Atougoia , Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Harquez de Louie , Minister of Marine .- - > Tbe Duke remains with tbe Presidency and War department . All tbe ministers are moderate progresista * , and will , uo doubt , have the confidence of

      the nation . If foreign nations do not interfere to preserve intact the authority of any lump of morality that may be in the place of a more worthy person , and thereby again Open the pandemonium of intrigue and corruption . Portugal * may yet lie prosperous , Uappj ' j and free / and her sons take their relative station ' s . [ ' among the statesmen of the world , " for eloquence in the tribune , or eminence in tbe departments of learning , sciences , or the arts .

      PORTUGAL . Saldanha entered Lisbon with / between 2 , 000 and 3 , 000 troops ; on the 14 th inst ., - and met with a most entfiusiastic reception . . But ' although the Duke has' been recalled , and the obnoxious exminister , Cabral , has left the country , very serious doubts are entertained of a satisfactory termination to the insurrection . -Unfortunately for the Queen as well as . . Saldanha ,. the * Junta party bave ^ been chieflyiflstramental to the success of tbe Duke , and

      France. Paris, Phiday.—M. Barocbe Has De...

      now that he has been recalled , Saldanha finds that it is impossible to form a . . ministry or . to ensure the safety of the Queen ; and : he at the present moment holds three offices in his own person ^ -viz . ; president of the councili minister of war , and due other . The troops " also are showing symptoms of insubordination , and he has considered it necessary to order two additional regiments from Oporto , which arrived on the 19 th inst . Thus , with a revolutionary and powerful party ^ paramount and an exchequer not only exhausted but anticipated for more than twelve months ' to come , the affairs of this unhappy country are at the best in a Very precarious state ; and , although Saldanha has tbe heart to uphold th e Queen , and will do all he can in her cause , his power to do so is by most considered insufficient .

      It was for some time doubted that her Majesty would accept the resignation of the King ' as Commander in Chief , but rather keep him in tbe command of the army , as a focus of intrigue ; his dismissal , however , having been at length published , we give the following curious speci ' merrof a letter containing the decree : — « Most high and . most powerful prince and lord , Don Ferdinand , King of Portugal , Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha , Marshal-General , Commander-in-Chief of the Arrays my much loved , prized , and dear husband , I , Donna Maria , by the Grace of God , Queen of Portugal , the Algarves , and their ' dominions , send to your Majesty much greeting , as him who above all . l love and esteem . Taking into consideration what

      your Majesty has represented to me , and assenting to the solicitations that you address to me , I am well pleased to exonerate your-Majesty from the command in chief of the army , which , by royal letter of the 17 th of October , 1846 , it was my pleasure to confide to the care of your Majesty . Most high and most powerful prince and lord , Don Ferdinand , King of Portugal , Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha , Marshal-General , my much loved , prized , and dear husband , may our Lordconttnually protect the august person of your Majesty , Written in the Palace of the Necessidades , the 7 th day of the month of May , 1851 . —Your Majesty ' s dear spouse ( signed , ) : Matua .. Countersigned , Baron De Francos . '

      It must be remembered that' this ' most high and most powerful prince and lord' went at the head of an army to maintain in power ' " a favourite , against tbe will of tbe nation , and that in less than a month he returned , with scarcely a sufficient number of persons in his suite to bear tbe train of a royal robe in a state procession .

      . GERMANY , , The Emperor of Russia and Austria are to meet the King of Prussia at Olmutz . The / Diet will not commence its proceedings until after the interview .

      AMERICA .. By the Royal Mail steam-ship Niagara we have advices from America to the 14 th inst . The projected Cuban expedition which was announced as being wholly broken up , has not , it would appear been entirely abandoned , as we learn that it was not tbe intention of ( he leaders to actually organise the expedition in North America , but to sail unorganised to some point beyond the boundaries of the United States , and there make such arrangements as should he deemed expedient . A good deal of excitement was produced in New York on Saturday , by tbe announcement that the United States government had chartered a steamer to leave New York with a force of 700 . men . It was not known whether this vessel was destined to

      suppress rebellion m South Carolina or to prevent tbe invasion oi Cuba , although rumour spoke con . fidently of both purposes ; According to the best information , it seems that this vessel has been chartered at the suggestion or the United States authorities in New York , to cruise along the coast between this port and Savannah . One of the Chagres steamers , the Crescent City , is tbe vessel engaged for the service . A destructive fire occurred on the 22 nd nit . at Santa Fe , by which the Exchange , with all its

      outhouses , & c , was burned to the ground . The loss is estimated at upwards of 20 , 000 dollars . ' A curious commentary , however , is appended to the report given in the ' New York Tribune , ' which we , subjoin : — ' The fire has proved very injurious to Santa Fe , as the Exchange was the principal gambling and drinking place in town . You are aware , probably , that several murders hare faken place in . tbe Exchange , and a thousand fights beside . Mr . Green , of Missouri , one of the proprietors , was a most amiable roan , and the public deplore bis loss . Gambling still continues unabated . '

      Colonel Sumner , who was about to take the command of the United States military force in the department of Santa Fe , would take out with him several hundred fresh recruits to fill up the companies now in New Mexico . He had been ordered to take out also a large amount of seeds , grains , improved stock , farming utensils , and apparatus for irrigating and otherwise developing the capacity of the soil . It is believed the head-quarters of the army and the position of the troops will be materially changed on bis arrival . Los Vegos is spoken ol as the place for the bead quarters , while a sufficient number of troops will be retained in Santa Fe to protect that city . It ia designed to make the army in New Mexico , as far as possible , self subsistent .

      The Willis and Forrest case had been postponed until next term ; it was said to be virtually abandoned . The amounts contributed iu the previous week at the anniversaries of the various religious and philanthropic societies were about 15 , 000 dollars more than last year , which exceeded by 200 , 000 dollars the receipts of 1849 . The subscriptions of ten of the principal societies are asf follow : ^ -Americaii Tract Society , 310 , 618 dols . 90 c . } American Bible

      A New " Lark . "—A fashionably-dressed young man , who gave his name as James Crawford , was charged at Southwark Police-oourt with removing the signal-lamps from a train on the Epsom and Croydon railway , on Friday night . The lamps were taken from behind , and the train came up at the rate of twenty miles an hour , with another not far behind . - The danger was increased by the crowded state of the train in consequence of the races . The prisoner ' s only excuse was that he had done it in a drunken lark . The magistrate observed that , had it not been for tho vigilance of the officials , the sacrifice of h uman life might have been awful . The case w as of such consequence that he would not deal with it ; but should commit the prisoner to the sessions for trial , under the General Railway Act , Which renders him liable to two years' imprisonment on conviction .

      Mr . George Thompson M .

      Nattering To Science.. It Is Questionabl...

      nattering to science .. It is questionable , whether more is known ot diseases , their cause , aud their cure , at this moment , than in the time of Galen ; it is certain that diseases are quite as numerous , and in the aggregate as fatal . Every age has produced some new system of artificial therapeutics which the next age has banished ; each has boasted iu its turn of cures , and they , in their turn , have been condemned as failures . Medicines themselves are the subjects unsettled ; iii fact , that it has no established principles , that it is little more than conjectural ? . 'At this moment , ' says Mr . Pinny , ' the opinions on the subject ot treatment are almost as numerous as the practitioners themselves . Witness the mass of contradiction on the treatment of even one disease , namely , consumption . Stroll attributes its frequency to the introduction of bark . Morton considers bark an effectual cure . Keid ascribes the , frequency of the disease te the use of mercurr . Erillonet asserts tlmtit is

      curable by mercury only . Ituse says that consumption is an inflammatory disease—should he treated by bleeding , purging , cooling medicines , ; and starvation . 'Salvation says it is a disease of debility , and should be treated by tonics , stimulating remedies , and a generous diet . Galen recommended vinegar as the best prevents tire of consumption . Dessault and others assert that consumption is often , brought on by taking vinegar to prevent obesity . BcddoeS recommended foxglove as a specific . Dr . Parr found foxglove more injurious to his practice than beneficial . Such are the contradictory statements of medical men ! ' And yet there can be but one . true theor v of disease ., Of the fallibility and inefficiency of medicine , none have been more conscious than medical meu themselves , many of whom liave been honest enough to avow their conviction , and now recommend MESS 11 S .
