      FRANCE . The Journal _des _Bebals continues to assail the proc ceedings directed to tffect a reform in the electoral a and re presentative system . It finds in them an a arriereper . ! ee of jacobinism , republicanism , the overt throw o the dynasty of Jnly , and the return of the j 18 th of August and 2 nd September . It seems tbat i tiie day appointed for the reform banquet at Mons I happens to ha the 10 th of August . Ths Debate t thinks or says that this day was _selected to indie e & te the character -and real objects ot the party by j the event of which it is the anniversary . The attempt of tbe' Jonrnal des Debats' to s % - 1 _toatisethe Reform Association as a revival of the Club of Jacobins , ' has unearthed a certain journal

      ieptby tbe then Duke de Ckartres , now King cf the French , from the month of November 1790 to yfaxeh 1791 . in which the active and zealous part taken by 'Egalite fils' ( as bis Majesty was then called ] as _araoa & er and official of the Jacobin Club , nnder Collo td'flerboisand Carra , are duly registered and recorded with thc most unequivocal self-satisfaction in the first _person . It appears from this that his Majesty was an assiduous attendant at its meetings : fiiat he eagerly seized every favourable occasion of taking a part in _itsTdebates ; that he was elected one of _itscensetvs ( an official inspector ;} that he proposed cr seconded many of its leading members , of whose patriotism he was , as he said , assured . & c , fo . An extract is pitilessly given , in leaded type , by the 'National , ' in which these and other equally carious

      things are recorded by' _Esalitg fils' in the first person , extending from Snd November 1790 , to 10 th Match , 1791 . The 'National' has also ill-naturedly found out that a certain M . Seguier , scandalised at Tonng * E ; _alite ' _accepting an efficeof the Jacobins , expressed Ms senst - of ths matter in a chanseafie nee , published in a weekly jonrnal , called ' Les _Soitises delaSemaine , ' which had seme vogue at tbe time among the Royalists . By the most strange caprice of the current of bnman events , the same revolution which has placed _Egalite fils on the throne of France , has placed M . _Seguier , the author of the chansmnettt , in the _presideafa ! chair of the Chamber of Peers ! ? Perhaps , ' saysthe merciless'National , ' * Monsieur le President Seguier has preserved a copy of this , and will favour ns with tbe music and the words !'

      Strange vicissitude ! continues the 'National , * fifty years have scarcely rolled away ere we find the cowan- ofthe Jae » biu Club seated on the throae of France , and the author of the _chonsoruiette in the _'Sottisesde la Semsine , ' clad in the ermine of first president , hanging twice a year to his feet the tenderestand most respectful homage . Away , then , with all calculations on the future—away with all attempts at prediction I Attempt to stop the tide of time , and say , ' we are old , and we will establish . ' Establish what ? AU , all is in rains 1 The general

      soil of Europe is broken np by the ploughshare of revolution . Men and things are changed , and when in onr thoughts we attempt to put what was in _joxtaposition with what is , we behold the mostladicrons masquerade- _^ They want to arrest the flight ot that whose flight is everlasting . They believe themselves sages , and try ( o stop the course of the ocean by a dam . They talk of thestability of institutions—they who have witnessed such lofty fortunes and lamentable reverses ; ' raisers sans aom , ' as Pascal says , * de se croire assure dans l ' _encainte de se racconrci d ' aiuaie . *

      ___ Tae National gives the _following _account of an imposing political demonstration which took place at Colmar on the 8 : h inst , where ISO electors cf tbe _department ofthe Upper Rhine assembled to protest _asainst the system of corruption wbich is demoralising the conntry : — * Nl . _Rossee , first President of the Royal Conrt of Colmar , accepted an invitation to preside on tbe _occasion . The Prefect , _together with the principal functionaries of the _dsjartmenii in vain endeavoured to prevail on him to refuse to assist st a demonstration _organised by the Opposition .

      * M . Rossee considered that the moment had arrive ! to give the Government asalutary warning , and in this point of view the participation of the head of the Alsatian magistracy ia this civic solemnity was hailed with joy _by his _felloff-citizens . ii . Smile Doiphus , Mayor of Mulhausen , and deputy for the Upper Rhine , likewise accepted an invitation toattend , bnt unexpected circumstances , wbich _occurred en theeve ofthe festivity , prevented his carryinghis intention into effect . M . Strncb . deputy forthe Upper Kbine , was present at the banquet , together with M . Conlmann and M . _Koech-in , former deputies , several members of the municipal councils of _Strasbnrgand Mulhausen , and s _considerable number of the inhabitants of those towns ; and moreover , several deputations of electors from the principal towns on the Upper Rhine .

      by one day of reverse half a century of victories . _Moreover , a nation may take its revenge for a lost battle . It nay rceorapose its army , rebuild its _a'Bnels , reconstruct its navy , revive ita commerce and _manufactures , and a few years are sufficient to _ratareits strength . France was in that position in _ib-JO _, prepared to re-commence _thegigantic struggles of the republic and of the empire , if any foreigner aad dared to fey Ms hand on ber , or if he had _P _^ ed to prevent the accomplishment of a great act of popular sovereignty and of nationahjustice . But , S £ ntlemen , what is more serious than a batttle lost , or any material disaster , is the moral decline of a _jfcfjoa and _j _^ extinction of public spirit in her " _pzA . Itis the oblivion of her providential _mis-BOn _, and of the part the was destined to act in _hu-* j _* n afiairs . A nation commits iuicide when it sue-066 , 18 in suppressing within itself every noble and

      '' Yes , gentlemen , the present situation of affairs appears to cs _dangeruos and lamentable . It is with 6 orrow ia her heart , and s blush ef indignation on her brow , that France has been for some time witnessing the cancer _shich Is consuming her . It is witk tenor that the nation contemplates ail the evil caused by the contagion of pernicious examples 2 nd _pernicMos maxims . A cation may endure innumerable disasters , see her 2 _rmiea defeated , her fleets destroyed , her _finances exhausted , and her commerce annihilated . These , co doubt , are severe trials , but they do not constitute disgrace . Waterloo was a catastrophe for France , but Waterloo is not a stain on our national history , for there was no dishonour iu contending alone against all Europe , audio closing

      CountercCAlsace , and secretary ofthe committee for directing the banquet , proposed tte appointment of a permanent electoral committee for the department of the Upper Rhine , and invited the assembly to sign immediately the petition prepared by tbe central _comuiittes of the electors of Paris . The petition was immediately signed by all present . Tbe greatest cordiality prevailed throughout the meeting , and the ' . MareeiiJaise / _Jwith other patristic airs , was performed by an excellent orchestra . After dinner , the following toasts were given from the chair and enthusiastically cheered : — 'Electoral reform , ' 'The realization of ita doctrins and principles . '' Thc organization of labour , ' and 'The probity of public authorities . ' M . Bserscb , member ofthe Municipal Council of Strasburg _. t and principal editor ofthe Counter _duBae Min in proposing a toa-t * to the patriots ofthe Lower Rhine , 'delivered a speech from which we make the following extract : —

      The Mouchc of _Msgon announces the formation of Swiss committees in Paris , Lyons , Bonrg , _Bcsacgon , Strasburgb , and Grenoble ! on the plan of the Polish committees . In case war be provoked by Austria or Piedmont , thosecommittees will give the aid of _revolutionaiy France to _Switzerland , which tbey regard as the representative of the cause of the people . * If , ' says the Muche , * Poland is too distant to be succoured except by good wishes , Switzerland is at our gates ; it is tbe interest of France of Jnly not to suffer herself to be enclosed in a net which absolutism is weaving around her . The French people ought to surround themselves by free nations who can _sympathise with her , and we trust that regenerated _Switzerland will no longer supply despots with satellites for hire . ' SPAIN .

      The Especlador states that General Espartero having always refused to receive the arrears of his salary as Regent , until all the other state employes were paid , there remained a sum of 90 , 000 dollars due to him when he was obliged to quit Spain , and that since then be bas made no demand for the money ; bnt tbat tbe present government , having heard that his resources are not sufficient for tbe maintenance of his dignity , has ordered 25 , 000 _dollars to be paid to him ss an instalment . Tbe Spanish government not only approves of General Pavia ' s reprisals for the massacre by thc Carlists ofthe fifteen soldiers of the Union regiment

      near Manresa , but has likewise directed him for the future to shoot every prisoner that falte into his bands . This is a most inhuman and impolitic proceeding _, and foreigners will now more than ever feel inclined to ask , whether Africa really begins atthe Pyrenees . On the evening of the 5 th six maiincs were executed at Gerona , thus making , with the seventeen shot at Mataro , twenty-three human beings put to death ont of retaliation for the Manresa tragedy , leaving i balance of eight victims in favour of Isabel II . Bnt in all likelihood tbe Montemolists will soon square accounts , for they have announced tbat for the future no quarter wUl be given to tbe troops of the government .

      The Madrid correspondent of the Times predicts the immediate breaking out of the civil war in Navarre;— - All ii ready for the outbreak ; several Generals of great reputation ere already on the frontiers concealed in the mountain villages ; the members of the Juntas , and the officers of the various battalions , are already nominated ; the refugee officers , who had been sent into the interior of _Franee , hare simultaneously left the depots , and are making tbair way with variable success to the appointed rendezvous . Some money has arrived , and more is promised . The hat-rest is most abundant ,

      and mien it is secured the last impediment to un . arhng the banner of war will be removed . I will not venture to predict what will be tbe result of this contest , so much will depend on the discretion of the Frince in whose favour so momentous & struggle is about to be undertaken . It has been said of the Bourbons , as it was cf the Stuarts , that _experience is barren for them , that they neither forget nor Item , Expectations are , however , entertained that the Count de _STontemoKn will prove an exception to this family blindness , and that the hopes of attaching to his interests the bulk ofthe Libera ] parry wiil come in aid of his own inclination to march with the spirit of the age .

      Another element ef success to the new outbreak will consist in the degree of support wbich will be afforded by the rest of Spain in aid of the provinces which bore the brunt of the former civil war . To this _question Catalonia has already responded , and no doubt exists that Upper and Lower Arragon , Valencia , and the north of Old _CastHIe , will give to the _Conut de _Montemclin ready and hearty assistance . Despatches from tbe Captain-General of Arragon , containing others from the Alcalde of Fraga , a town of 5 , 000 souls , on the confines of the province of Catalonia and Arregon , and on the river Cinca , announce the invasion <} f a body of from _480 to 500 Carlists . Thej entered at C o ' clock in the morning of the 8 : h , under the leadership of the chiefs Bonches and Sendios . With the exception of 20 or 30 they were all armed with muskets ,

      blunderbusses , and fowling pieces . Tbeir first work was to take possession of tbe government offices , -and seize the whole of the public fURds , for ( thich , however , thev cheerfully and spontaneously gave rectipts in due and uacxcsptionatlefonn . They also took possession of the tobacco snd gunpowder found there . Otherwise , they committed so acts of violence ; on the contrary , they exhibited much philanthropy , and a love of liberty beyond praise , inasmuch as they opened the prisons and et some of the captives free , without establishing an ; very scrupulous inquiry into the causes ef tbeir incarceration . In this they even surpassed in compassion for suffering humanity tiie Knight of La _Mancba with the galley slaves . The liberated ef Fraga were more grateful still , ss they not only did not turn on their liberstors , but took arms and joined them .

      Correspondence irom la _Graiya adverts to a « r » aene ronsand cowardly attempt against the life of _Antral Serrano , which , however , entirely failed , A parcel was received at Mb house on the previous day , by the mail , of an unusually large size , the postage amounting to 39 reals ( 6 s . ) . The General was out at the time it came , and it appears that his mother had her _suspicions excited by its unusual _sizs , General Ros de O _. _' _ano , to whom she spoke on the subject , shared the same suspicious , and it was agreed to cut open the parcel on the opposite side to the seal , when it was fonnd that nnder tbree or more covers , each of which was marked 'private , ' there were five * poitas / a species of explosiTe compound , so placed that they wonld have gone off by opening the parcel in the _usual way , and tbe intended victim would probably either have been killed , or at least seriously maimed and disfigured . General Mo lost a hand by means of a similar contrivance .

      General O'Donnell is recalled from Cuba , oi which he has for several years been the governor . PORTUGAL . PROGRESS OP JJ 0 SD PAtHEBSTOX ' S POUCT ! LISBON , Accost 9 . Notwithstanding tbe time that has elapsed since the termination ofthe civil strife , no signs as yet have been exhibited on the Queen ' s part of fulfilling the stipulations of the protocol ; on the contrary , every possible _manosavre , however flimsy or unworthy , is being resorted to to evade compliance with its most imperative and most important provisions . The Count of Lavradio , charged by the Queen with the formation of anew ministry , has utterly failed in effecting this object , and has given up the mission in despair ; nor is this a matter of tbe smallest surprise , as the _individual to whom he addressed himself , one and all , insisted , as a preliminary measure to their accepting office , that the Queen should first revokecertain unconstitutional decrees , the most ob

      noxious one being the nomination ofthe Frince Ferdinand to the chief command in tha army , an appointment in itself not alene objectionable , but in direct violation of one cf the articles of the charter itself . The immediate convocation of the Cortes of the kingdom was also made a sine qua non . Now , to neither of these reasonable concessions to justice or policy would either the Queen or her husband consent , the prince insisting npon retaining his command , and the Queen being obstinately bent against permitting the elections to proceed . Tbe consequences havebeen tbatthe efforts of theCeuntof Lavradio , to render ber Majesty _good _^ service , have been unavailing ; while the public indignation is aroused , and odium falls upon the Queen , her husband , and tbe wretched Camarilla who compose this court of email intrigue . In the meantime , the _Cabralisfs are working night and day , both by means of their organs ofthe press , and by the influence oi the clubsto regain their ascendancy . .

      , m While all this is going on , the present men in office are occupying themselves solely in feathering their nests at the po _blic cost , and in adding to their already swollen and ill-gotten fortunes , by means so infamous , that , if not a scandal in Portugal , they may almost be termed an insult to Europe . Scenes ofthe most wanton and irritating description have been going on in Oporto , and openly countenanced by the authorities , the military : governor appointed being the Baron CasaJ , so discreditably known for Ms brutality at Eraga , where respect was paid neither to age nor sex upon the occasion of his entering the town by force , when the place was

      subjecteu to two days pillage . On the Sth inst ., tho soldiery burnt an effiey in one of the _publicsquares , representing Akria da Fontc the heroine of the _revolution ; they wereaccompanied by the different military bands , and after creating terror and contusion throughout the city , and committing brutal excesses , were harangued and complimented by the Baron Casal in person : So much for pacification ! In St _Ubes _similarsceneBhave been enacted ; and not a post arrives but brings accounts from all parts of tbe kingdom of horrors that would appear to refer to some far-back and distant epoch , and amongst savages , aud not as real occurrences of these times and in a Christian

      land . We have Lisbon news to the 9 th inst . The collective note from the Envoys of the three allied Powers , requiring a change of Ministers , had been presented on the morning of the 5 tb .

      which nature has planted in a continued chain from Bom Fim to , Bom Successo , on the north of the Douro . The cannon that lately bristled on these heights have been shipped to the capital , and Oporto is now to all intents and purposes an open town . So much the better for the British merchants , who have here and at . Villa Nova property in . manufactured _gcods and wine to the amount of £ 1 , 500 , 000 sterling , but so much the worse for the Queen ' s government , which has acted in tny opinion in this case on very limited _^ views . The British merchants , whose goods and wines escaped destruction , as if by miracle , in 1 S 33 and 1 S _41 , are rejoiced to fee the theatre of civil war removed from Oporto by the dismantling of its forts , bat the Queen should recollect that the second city in the kingdom is left without defence ,

      within four days march of Spain , and the town is open , in case of another insurrection in the Minho , to a dash of the Insurgents . Tho Queen tbis year has been saved by the protection given in Oporto to the Junta , and the waste of time which Da 3 Antas allowed there , instead of marching instantly on Lisbon . On the next occasion the scene oi the conspiracy will bs laid in Lisbon , and tbe government be overthrown before her allies are able to arrange a protocol in London , or march 15 , 000 Spaniards from Madrid . Such an evert is . I hope , sincerely , very far distant , but I cannot be ' indifferent to thc various rumours of plots and conspiracies coming from the capital , which lead ns shortly to expect an outbreak on tbe part of the Cabrals , to be put down bya more f nercetic movement of tbe _Septcmbrists . .

      ' Just as the mail was closing , an arrival from Angola brought an official account to the government of a very serious and extensive conspiracy at Angola to revolutionise the colony , and place Count Bomfin at the head of the government . He and the other prisoners were in the conspiracy , as well aa many of tbe government officers and other residents . The scheme was well laid , and was on _ilie point of becoming successful , wben it failed through the fact of one of the conspirators divulging the plan to the authorities . The result was its total failure , and the adoption of measures of considerable , severity towards the prisoners and those whose names were denounced as co-conspirators .

      SWITZERLAND . Advices have been received from Berne to tbc llth inst . Avery animated debate had taken placo in the diet on tbe 10 th and llth . on the report of tbe committee appointed to consider the proceedings of the cantons of the league so far as respects tbe importation ofthe materiel of war , tbe construction of entrenchments , and ether works of defence , and the enrolment of troops . The recommendations ofthe committee were adopted by a majority of twelve whole cantons and two half ones , being the same majority axactly as that which voted tbe dissolution of the _Sonderhnnrl . "

      The debate in the diet on the 9 th , llth and 12 th , respecting the proceedings of the cantons of the league , exhibited a scene of violence , without , any previous example ih that assembly . Speeches marked by considerable eloquence and force were , it is said , delivered by several delegate ' s , especially by M . Luvini . tbe deputy of Tcssino ; M . Druey , deputy of Vaud ; and M . _Rilliet-Constant , deputy of Geneva . .. . _< . ¦ Some of tbe correspondents of the French journals affirm that if the cantons of tha Sonderbuntl do not immediately submit to the decision ofthe diet , the federal executive will resort to force . of arms , and a struggle between the cantons willensue . Other letters say , however , tbatthe resolutions of the diet

      will be submitted to without resistance . The journals of Berne give some circumstances which countenance this latter opinion . It seems that General de Sonnenberg , an officer in theservire ol the league , was lately passing . in review the Landwebr , at Neukirchen , in the canton cf Lucerne , which be ordered to proceed with its exercise in rainy weather . Murmurs broke out thereupon in the ranks , and thc _troops began to disperse . M . de Sonnenberg then with menaces ordered the roll to be called over . This became the signal for general and immediate disbanding . The men dispersed , shouting , ' Down with the Sonderbund I Hurrah for the federal troops ! When they arrive , instead of firing npon them , we will present arms to thera !'

      ITALY . Rous , Aug . 8 . —To the ordinary observer or trans-Alpine visitant , this old metropolis seems , what it hath long been , solemnly serene and dignified in its dull repose ; but behind the scenes tbere is much silent activity , and , as in the calm flow of its own Tiber , incessant whirlpools keep eddying beneath the current . At this moment I have ascertained that in the Castlo of St Angclo there are two cells , near the battlement from which Benvcnuto Cellini boasts of having fired his _arquebuse with deadly effect on Constable Bourbon , fitted np te look like comfortable chambers ( barring the window ?); and these snug quarters are evidently destined for no vulgar occupants . _isuuieiuiuuvmetntue _uuiei uireciur in tne

      -u . ponce for the district of Velletri and all the Pontine marshes , was bronght in a prisoner yesterday , and added to the Citilinarian miscellany _assembled in tbe cereerenuovo . His connexion with the disturbers has b : en proved by the revelations already made , and greit satisfaction is felt at the retribution dealt on official delinquency . In pursuance of tbe pontifical mandate , LambruEchinihas been summoned frem his maritime retreat , and is expected here to-day or tomorrow . Every precaution is _tiikcn by the national guard to protect his entrance from the fury of the mob . The maggiordonto , PaUavicini , is in a state of

      contumacious outlawry at Genoa ; his doings in the various forms of peculation on the palace expenditure for years have far eclipsed the scandal of General Cubieres , Teste , or Pellapra , ou ' your sideof the Alps ; and the partner of his abstractions , Col . Pfeyffer , commandant of the Swiss beef-eaters , has absconded , not in tbe odour of integrity . Indeed , we are told here tbat on his arrival at Lucerne , he was arrested by order of the canton , and will be sent back . The trade in soldiers which that enlightened community has carried on so lucratively with Rome for centuries is too valuable a branch of industry to jeopardise fer the sake of the noble race of _Pfeyffcr .

      On Sunday last an attempt- was to have been made , as a dernier ressort , to throw the _trastevere quarter into confusion , in tbe mad hope of rekindling the _trampledout embers of political conflagration . The occasion selected was the annual grand procession of the Boccaletti , so called because the glass blowers of Home , a very numerous trade , form an imposing muster in tbe show , and carry specimens of their handicraft . This [ bubble has happily burst innocuously . Chief Secretary Ferretti was on the ground at an early hour , with his inborn energy , and overawed the malignants . ' There were no bones or _flaggons broken . Talking of our new state secretary , his brother Pietro Ferretti has come up from Naples , at the request of Pius , and _isinstattedafc the head ofthe finance department , conjointly with the late Bavarian legate Moricbini . Treasurer AntonelHhas been cashiered . Connt Pietro Ferretti is a man of most Cato-like

      integrity , stern in his opinions , and of cast-iron inflexibility . lie headed the outbreak against _Gregory , in 1831 , and was proclaimed leader by tbe northern part ofthe legations . Crushed by the overwhelming march of Austrian Vandals , that effort was not productive of any _re _? ult ; but Ferretti , profiting by the French occupation of Aucona , insisted on terms of capitulation , which Gregory , once the dancer over , shamefully disregarded . Count Pietro , having staked all his fortune on the die , passed the following sixteeen years as simple clerk in a Neapolitan _counting-house—not aware that ho was qualifying himself for the direction of pontifical finance . Ue was , of course , included in hisconsin ' s act of amnesty to exiled rebels .

      The army is taken out of the hands of clergymen altogether , and Abbate _Frassinefli must now give up the charge of dragoons for the cure of souls . By the way , the Austrian general who had marched into Ferrara with twice a thousand men and tben marched ' bock agin , ' has had the ludicrous audacity to come up here to Rome complaining of Cardinal Legate Ciacchi for not giving his men free quarters as he had been induced to expect , lie says loudly tbat he has in his possession the written invitation of the late State Secretary Gizzitocome over the border . If such a document in such handwriting be really forthcoming , it will go hard with the late official , but fergerics have already been committed on the gouty old'gentleman , and why not this ? The whiskered German demands satisfaction for being hissed and left without lodgings , when invited by a friendly power to drop in and take pot lnck .

      POLAND . Public Execution of two Poles at _Lkmbero . — Another demonstration of publio feeling in Poland was given at Lemberg , in Galicia , on the 31 st ult ., on the occasion of the execution of TkeophiiuB _Wisniowski and Joseph Kapuscinski , declared gamy ol high treason against Austria , by the Imperial Courts on the 1 st of July of the present year , Tbe sentence condemned them to be hung on a gallow * _, and they suffered death accordingly . Kapuscinski was also

      accused ot having put to death the Mayor of _Pusno , the charge was not , however , proved . On the 28 th _theirsentence was read to them in public , and on their appearance , the surrounding- multitude , heedless of the authorities , greeted them with enthusiastic shouts and waving of hats , and throw crowns of flowers at their feet . This waa but a prelude to the imposing demonstration on the morning of the execution , and testifies to the undying spark ef independence which still glows iu the hearts of the Polish inhabitants of _Lembergv As the clock struck six , a car oa which the two condemned _wra standing , left

      TU 8 KKT . Constantinople , _Juiy 27 . —An extraordinary courier has arrived at the Porte from the headquarters of the army in Kurdistan , with the important intelligence that Bederhan Bey had surrendered totbeSeraskier Osraan Pacha , and thathe is how on Ins way , a prisoner , to the capital ., Kurdistan , whicii has . always enjoyed a kind of independence , and whose hereditary chiefs scarcely acknowledged the sovereignty of the Sultan , is now completely brought under , subjection to the Porte . This has been effected in an incredibly short space of time , and in the face of difficulties unknown in European warfare . Bederhan Bey had an army of at least 15 , 000 men , principally , cavalry , expert in the

      use ot their arms , with wonderful _. _powers of endurance , and blindly devoted to their chief . They had the advantages of _fighting on their own _ground , with all its resources at their command , and yet an army of equal numbers defeated them in a pitched battle on the left bank of thc Tigris , drove them from all their mountain holds , and made captive their chief . In less than a month , the Turkish troops , with all their artillery and baggage , have traversed an immense extent of wild mountainous country ; cut to pieces , in a piichel battle , an army of lo , 000 men ; taken three fortresses ,, and secured to the Porte an extensive territory which hitherto had never entirely acknowledged its authority . It is evident that their

      victories are entirely owing to the superior discipline of ths Turkish troops , and I believe it is now admitted on all hands , by those who . have seen them in tbe field and on parade , that there are not better disciplined ov better conditioned soldiers in Europe . News has arrived here of a fresh insurrection which has broken out in Albania . An attempt to enforce the conscription , by the , Turkish authorities in the province is the . principal , cause ofthe revolt but Russian and Greek emissaries bare also been activo in urging the . inhabitants to rebellion . An official announcement was , made by the authorities at Malta , to the merchants of that island , of the blockade of the Albanian coast . . , .-

      UNITED STATES _AiND MEXICO , By the arrival of the _Britania , we have advices from New York to tbe 31 st ult ., Boston to the 1 st , and Halifax to the 3 rd inst . respectively ., . . . _..-. Advices from Vera Cruz to the 18 th inst , mention that General Pierce , With 2 . 500 men , had a battle near National Bridge with 4 , 000 __ Mexicans , and defeated them . . The Mexicans lost about one hundred and fifty . General Pierce returned to Vera Cruz for reinforcements . . Later accounts , however , do not confirm this statement . They say that General Pierce had encamped ten miles from the city , when scouts from his rear-guard came in and reported that a large force of Mexicans were at the National Bridge , marching towards Vera Cruz .. Everything was got ready for . an cxpeced attack . The shipping removed from between the city and the . Castle . , General Pierce came in and took a ., reinforcement of 700 men and again marched t » meet theeneray ..

      Colonel De _Russy , who went out from Tampicoto see what had become of the American prisoners on tlieir way to Tampico , was attacked by 1 , 200 Mexicans at Hnequetla . He was surrounded , and placed in great peril , but he cut his way through the cnem . _v's lines , with the loss of twenty killed and ten wounded . General Scott _was _still at _Puebla . Generals Cad . wallader and Pillow were at Perote . They had defeated the Mexicans at _Lahoja . We learn of the appointment of Commissioners by the Mexican Government to confer with Mr Trist , at San Martin _Tesmalaucan , on the Sth , and through him the terms offered by the President . A letter from _| Mexico , dated the 2 nd , says there is no doubt but that the treaty will be concluded immediately by _^ the Commissioners , the peace party is so , strong , and that Santa Anna will probably pronounce for peace . The names of the Commissioners _giYen are Garostise , Baronda , and Tornel . Other accounts , however , throw doubts upon thc reported appointment of Commissioners also .

      Tub Polish Trials, The Proceedings On Th...

      TUB POLISH TRIALS , The proceedings on the 6 th were confined to tbe defence of the prisoners Koslnskt and Dabrowski . The defence of both was based chiefly on the plea that the insurrection was not against Prussia , and that consequently the accusation of high treason against tbat state could not be brought _agaisst them . On the Till an immense crowd of persons assembled in tbe morning in front of tlie prison , and it was only bymeans of a private entrance that the : persons provided witb cards of admission could reach their places . Along discussion ensued respecting the right of the natives of the duchy of Posen ts be examined in the Polish language , if they so wished— a right , wbich after soine deliberation , the court allowed . The court then commenced the examination of Stanislaus Felix Yon _Sadowski , wbo is accused of having , ut the instigation of

      bis brother , endeavoured , at the head of tbe Polish insurgents , to take possession of _Broraburf , an important strategetical position . Thc proof rested upon the _judicial depositions of the acused , and corroborative witnesses . Tlie witnesses , oue and all , declared themselves ignorant of the circumstances stated in tbe declarations . iVhen the accused , a pale tbin young man , was called upon for his defence , be stated that the confessions he had made during the preliminary investigations were false ; that he had been subjected eight ' or nine times each day to cross-examinations ; and that being completely exhausted'by a pectoral complaint , under whicb he was suffering-, he confessed nil that hie examiner wished . The counsel forthe accused pointed to many passages in his deposition which confirmed the truth ofthis assertion .

      The 9 th and part of thc 10 th was taken up with tbe case of Maximilian _Ogrodowics who also retracted his judicial confessions on thc plea that they had been extorted from him by moral and eron physical torture—an insufficient supply of food having been allowed him in prison . The witnesses were of disreputable character , and the court evinced a decided distrust of their testimony . Tbe examinations in the case of 0 _# rodowicz having been concluded , the case of Vincent Von Cbachuhike was taken up , and after its termination that of Ludwig Anton Stanislaus Von _Polewski , Tho latter , like some of those whose examinations had pro ceded his , retracted his judicial confessions , oh the plea that tbey had been extorted from him by moral torture . This day five and twenty prisoners were produced in court , each advancing to tbo bar in » uccession as his turn to be examined Arrived :.

      August 11 , — The examinations of _Mieczlowski and Redmann wero gone through . Tho next prisoner placed at the bar was Anton Ciulsdorf . After the _witntssce in this caso had been examined , the court retired for a short time . On the retnrnof the judges , Cielsdorf was called forward , and informed that they had resolved to liberate him . He was , however , instructed not to leave Berlin for thc- present . As it is understood that sentence is to be pronounced on all who are declared guilty at the close , of the proceedings , it . seems a valid inference that all who are not liberated at the closo of tbe specfal investigation of their own case are to he condemned .

      On the 13 th , the counsel for the crown began his speech against tho accused Nos . 4 to 19 . All those persons , bs maintained , were implicated in tho projected attack upon Brombcrg . He argued that this group is connected with the groups Nos . 1 to 3 , inasmuch as the preparations for the attack upon Bromberg were resolved upon at the conference in _Srcbna-Gora . MicroBl .-. wsUi , the planner and director of the attack , presided over that congress . In a three hours' speech the learned counsel enforced the evidence adduced against the accused , and controverted tbeir respective explanations or ( kitinlK . He withdrew the accusation _againsttn-o of the _parties—Hermann and Cielsdorf ; he called- upon the court to pronounce _sentence of death against all tlte rest ; and in _thocase ofthe ctargymau _Jankowski _, to declare him in . tke first place de . prived of his ecclesiastical character . Three of the counsel for tbc accused were heard in reply before the court adjourned .

      Duel Of M .M.'Beauvallon And Dujabuies

      DUEL OF M . M . ' BEAUVALLON AND DUJABUIES

      PERJURY . It will be recollected that several months since M . Beauvallon was trie . ! at Rouen for killing M . Dujarricr , one ofthe editors of La Presse , in a duel , aud was acquitted . After the trial circumstances afforded grounds for a chargo of false testimony against M . d'Ecquevilley , one of the witnesses in the case , which testimony had formed part of tbe ground upon which thc verdict of ac . quittul was rendered . M , _d'Ecquevilh-y has just beon tried before the Court oi Assizes of tho Seine on thin _churge . The perjury related to the following facts :-Befere the duel M . Bertrand , ono of the seconds of M . Dujarrier , ' having examined thc pistols , which wire supplied by M . _d'Ecquerilley , and inserted a finger in one of

      the barrels , found that it was blackened , from which circumstance he inferred that thej had been tried , and put the question to M . d'Ecquevilley , who replied that they had been merely _^ amWes ( flashed with powder ) , and thatM ; Beauvallon had never beforo used them . M , _d'Ecquovilley had _previously represented to the other seconds that the pistols were his own , be having purchased them of AI . _Devismea , thc gunsmith ; whereas it transpired that they were in reality the pistols ot M , Granier de _Cassagnao , thc brother-in-law ofM , _Benuvallon , who had often practised with ihem . M . Beau _, vallon was acquitted of the chargo of murder , bat was condemned to pay heavy _damages to tbc mother of M . Dujarrier , who prosecuted as partie _cimlein _thecauso , To avoid payment of this sum HeauvalloB tied to Spain ,

      _a « 'did also his second , d'Ecquevilley , who holds the rank ol captain in tho Spanish army . A l <* ng time had not elapsed : before an acquaintance of d'Ecquevilley , M . de Meynard , made important disclosures , to the effect that he knew the pistols used in the duel to be thoso ofthe brother-in-law of M . Beauvalloti ; that they had been tried beforo the duel by tho latter in the garden of the house where d'Ecquevilley resided ; and that Beauvallon who performed sonie shots which excited his admiration , replied that he was perfectly acquainted with the _pUtois , as they belonged to his brother-in-law . Upon this the indict _, ment against d'Ecquevilley was framod . Ia the coarse ofthis trial -M . Beauvallon appeared as a witness on behalf of tho accused , and tho toitimony which he gave

      being compared with thc established facts of the C 3 se and theevidence of other witnesses was , in the opinion of tbc court , sueh as to place tbe judge under the necessity , In the discharge of his functions , of committing M . Beauvallon to tho Couciergeriu on the charge of giving false 'testimony . ¦ An observation having fallen from M . Beauvallon in the court , to the effect that the proceeding of the president will have the effect of producing a duel between bim and M . Bertrand ( the son of the Marshal of France , of that name , ) the president , atthe close of his charge-to the jury , said , ' Having' thus _; _gentlemtn , placed before you the circumstances of tbo accusation , aliqw me to notice tbe impudence of that man whom 1 ordered into arrest to-day , and wbo will no doubt be prosecuted . It is not without indignation that weheard him say to tho court , 'You desire , then , to have a duel between trie nnd Arthur Bertrand ; ' Gentlemen , a duel of any ' gentleman with Beauvallon is now impossible , ' forif , -as the public prosecutor maintain ? , he has not

      used unfair arms in tho duel withM . DoJarrier , he must be admitted to havo used _suspiciouB weapons . Beauvallon is a person who c in no longer find adversaries . A roan of honour would utterly lose his position if he should accept a challenge from him , * Theso concluding words of the judge were received by the large assembly which crowded the court with an expression of loud and general approbation , which , however , was immediately suppressed . At the close of a prolonged investigation aad legal discussion , the jury , after retiring for only five minutes declared by the mouth' of their foreman : ' On my honour and conicience , in the sight of God and men , the verdict of the jury is—The accused is guilty . ' The verdict is : found by a majority : thero are extenuating circumstances . Tbe court retired for a qunrter of an hour te'deliberate , and on its return pronounced sentence against Ecquevillej often years solitary imprisonment , without public exposure . He was also declared liable for the costs .

      Removal Of The Remains Of Hardy And ' Ba...

      REMOVAL OF THE REMAINS OF HARDY AND ' BAIRD , THE : POLITICAL MARTYRS . OF 1820 . . . 'Millionsbreathe but to inherit Freedom's ever bounding spirit , ' For the subjoined account of an act of patriotic and honourable justice to the deceased brave nien of 1819 , we are indebted to tho kindness of a friend , who haB forwarded to us a copy of a private letter , which we print in full . Glasgow , July 30 tb , 1847 . It is roy pleasing duty te inform you that a few of ibe good and true men of Glasgow _bare succeeded in erecting a monument to the memory of Baird and Hardy .

      Well may it be said ; that the tr & itor of tO'day may be tbe patriot of the fntnro . The blood-thirsty recreant , Cattlereagb , whose deeds of infamy will remain in the pages of history , a lesson to the people anda warning to statesmen , is remembered only as a suicide and traitor , ' _whilst the victims of bis rapacious and iniquit ous cruolty are honoured by a nation , Tho working men of Glasgow , tbe mm who toil and thick , bave done honour to the dead , by collecting £ 150 and erecting a monument therewith . Trifling ns some may think the sum , yet tbe deed is great ; more national than the Wellington Statue , a beacon to the tyrant , and a trophy to those who will their freedom .

      In the month of if ay 1 _SI 5 , a few working men called a meeting ofthe inhabitants ofStRollox to consider the propriety of entering into a subscription for tbe pur pose of erecting a monument to the memory of Hardy and Baird ; the object was _approved of , and a public meeting of ths inhabitants of Glasgow was held on the 12 th of March , _184 G . A committeo of twelve was added to our little band , including among the number Mr Turner ; of _Tbiushgrove , Messrs Moir , Robs , Cullen , our lamented friend , honest John Coiquhoun , and other _stannch and well-kn _» wn Chartists .

      Agreeable with the wishes of the relatives and the public , we applied to the proper parties in Stirling , requesting leave to remove thc remains of the unfortunate men from that town to Glasgow . After four months ' delay and a great deal of trouble , we received the following reply : — " We have examined thc criminal record and findin tbeir sentence the following words : — ' That , after public execution , your Leads to be severed from your bodies , your bodies to be qanrtered and disposed of where our Lord the King shall think fit . ' We , therefore , unanimously agree that we cannot interfere in the matter . "

      AVe then drew up a memorial in the name of the relatives , addressed tothe Lord Advocate of Scotland , and presented the same in September lust . He took the memorial with him to Edinburgh , also a copy of the decision of the Kirk Session of Stirling . We wroto letter after letter to his lordship , soliciting an answer , but to no effect . Mr Cullen communicated with Mr 'William Lovett , of London , who very warmly entered into thc spirit of so creditable an object , and , to bis praiseworthy exertions are we indebted for tbe following letter transmitted to Glasgow by the Lord Advocate , Fifth of May , 1817 .

      ' Sir , I laid your memorial befoie her Majesty ' s Ministers , and Secretnvy Sir G . Grey desires mo to inform you that , if thc Kirk _Seision of Stirling have no other objection than tha one referred to , Her Majesty ' s Governmentgive * you full permission to exhume thc remains of those two nnfortunate men from their present place of interment , upon condition tbat there sha ? I bo no public procession or large concourse of people , bat that the exhuming shall take place only in the presence of a few friend ? . I bave sent a copy of tbis to tbe Kirk Session of Stirling , also to the sheriff of the county to save you of aDy farther trouble-. 1 1 _rcmaiis , _youre , ' Andbew Rbthebfobd . '

      Notwithstanding the direct and peremptory order of tbe secretary , Sir G . Grey , and the proceedings of Andrew Rutherford , Lord Advocate , ' n final settlement was only come to with tho Stirling Kirk _SeBiion on tbe 13 _' _- hof July , and the 20 th was thc day appointed for exhuming and re-interring the remains of Baird aud Hardy . Mr Cullen , Mr J . Walker , and my « lf , nrrlved in Stirling , ha \ ing taken with us a _mourning 'flach and horses , on Monday evening thc 10 th . _Fo-jr o ' tlock next morning was the hour appointed for tho exhumation _. We attended to our _appointminf , taking with us a superbly mounted _coflSn . The relatives having purchased the graves after interment in 1820 , they pointed them out . The coffins were extra stout , lined inside to

      prevent the blood from issuing' out after decapitation , _Thescxton had dug six feet below the surface , when Captain _Fraser asked if the graves were deep _; being answered in tbe _normative , the sexton continued to dig another' seven inches , when they came to the coffins _. The question now was , 'Who is uppermost !* The relatives 6 aid Hardy . Baird ' _s brother said , ' You will easily know my brother from tho manner tho headsmen cut and mutilated bis chin . He then _withdrew from the ground . Andrew Hardj ' fl co ffin was tben opened , which contained nothing but his bones nnd clothes . The sexton handed me bis head ; there was no hair on the skull , and ft hod been cut near tlie shoulder . I enclose a part of his coat near to the collar . They were dressed in black when murdered . The _eexton next opened thc coffin of John Baird . Oh , brother , what a sight did I

      see ! The teeth were _eood , the body in an excellent atate of preservation , the chin hacked just aa his brother said , the hair was on his head , but when tho sexton handed it up , nnd I took hold of the balr , it came away freely ? Need I say that I preserved some of it ; yes , and will revere it ; not an idle Idolary , but in true veneration for all that is cennectod with those whe _dio in a goofl oause . The remains of both we placed in the same coffin , wbich we carried shoulder high to the mourping coacb , and we then walked ia slow and solemn funeral _proceniion through Stirling , at a quarter past seven a , m , Ths news bad flown abroad , quick as lightning , At every village and country town we _camo to , we were met by joung and old , rich and poor , who _brougbtus flowers of all kinds , begging tbat we would plant them on tbe graves of tbo martyrs ,

      Wo were bound down by government to make no announcement of our intentions to tbo public , but orders had been sent to Glasgow to dig the grave nine feet deep , and when we arrived at Provon Mill , some two or three miles from the city , we _wtre »« t by about a hundred

      well dressed persons , and on reaching Thrusbgrove a hearse was provided and" the coffin rdmoved from the mourning coach ; tlie procession had by this time in . creased immensely , and _tbousahdii followed slowly and seriously . There was grief written in every face , " arid the lapse of twenty-seven yeari only strv ' el to quicken the sensibility of every heart . I will ' never _forgetit _. nor will Scotland rest satisfied until the injury done be fol . lowed by on acknowledgment of man ' s just rights : — _Freedom ' s battle once begun , Bequeathed by bleeding sire to son ; 1 hough of ten' _baffled , oft is ever wan . ' ' We at length reached the cemetry , when tho relatives ofthe dead lowered the dust of our revered countrymen into its last resting placo , the coffin was covered up _. nnd wo scattered the flowers over their graves .

      A nation's worthy tribute to the patriotic dead . Tyrants ehed ' their blood , and their country strews tbeir graves wiih _flotws . Who will plant a rose or lily on the grave of _Cantlereagb , pi-his royal master , George the Fourth ! what withered cheek will be moistened with tears for their memory ? N « ne . O ' er their grares tbe cypress would refuse to bow and the willow to droop . But over the graves of their victims , a nation will mourn , and the stranger , when visiting tliem , will recall to mind the deeds of tbe past , and say , ' Patriots rest , your dust in sacred , the memories of your persecutors we remember with reproach .

      I There Is Comparatively Little Of Novel...

      I There Is comparatively little of novelty observable in the election intelligence this week . The interest of the contest has evaporated , and the complexion of the new Parliament can be hut slightly altered by the few returns that have yet to drop in . In Northumberland the Ministry have obtained a decided victory in the return of the Home Secretary at tbo head of the poll , in opposition to the influence of the Ducal Castle , whose candidate , Lord Loraine , was beaten . In North Warwickshire , Messrs Newdegate and Spooner , staunch Protectionists , have been returned in opposition to the Free Traders ; thus showing tbat thero are still some places left that hold last by the old creed . These gentlemen , after being girt with swords ! returned thanks .

      Mr Newdegate said , that in selecting bim to be their representative , they bad Bhown their adherence to those great principles on which England had long been governed , and by which she had attained ber present envied position . The election had shown that there existed a strong conviction amongst the farmers and tbe manufacturers that tbey were bound together by one common feeling—the protection of their mutual interests , which , ' by the result of the contest , they proclaimed to bs not antagonistic , bub identical . Let . leaders desert their party—let representatives change their opinions—the heart of Eng .

      land was sound ; the peoplo were fit to govern themselves , and they would do it . After a passing eulogium on the conduct of his opponent , and a declaration that he had no desire to see the price of flour maintained at 4 % Cd . per stone , but that for the sake oi the working man ho wished to see it at half that sum , he concluded by declaring it to be his determination to use bis best efforts to maintain the Church , and he expressed a hope that nothing would separate ic from that Constitution which _. Un his opiniou _. is the pride of the country , and the mainstay of its liberties .

      Mr Spooneb next delivered a characteristic ora' tion . After complaining of the difficulty he experienced in finding words to express -lis feelings , he said , ' I beg to assure you all , from the inmost recesses of my soul , that I thank you—I thank you—I thank you .
