      FRANCE . On Wednesday , t he b i ll for g ran t ing pensions t o the wounded and to the families of thevictim _^ . of Pebruarv and June , 1848 . was rejected by 372 _vo _-es to * 226 . Oa this infamous decision the correspondent of the * Morning Chr o nicle ' observes ; The debate which took p lace in the Assembly on the bill relative to the pensions of the victims o ! February , is a strong ins t ance of . the daily increasin g b o ldn es s of t he p a r t y n o w in p ower on t he

      Republic and its institutions . From the commencement to tbe close of the discussion , insult upou insult was heaped upon the _Republic , no t only by t he partisans of the Monarchy , but even by the Ministers of the Republic itself ; and these sallies were received with thunders of applause from the benches occ u p ied by the party of order ; while the attempts made by Mf . Pascal Daprat and M . Cremieux , to obtain some show of respect for a form of government which all parties had accepted and sworn to serve , were drowned in groans . '

      PROUDHONS TRIAL PABI 8 , SATURDAY . - M . Prondhon appeared yesterday before the Court of Assize ofthe Seine lo take his trial for having , in an article in the Voix du Peuple , " on the last election for Pans , committed the offcnces-first , of exciting to hatred and contempt of the government ; next , of endeavouring to disturb public peace by exciting citizens against each other ; tbirdlv , of having excited the army to abandon its datv and to disobey its chiefs . M . laugrand , the publisher ofthe ' Voix du Peuple « as included in the indictment for having published the article . Tbe case excited extraordinary interest , and the court was crowded to _excess .

      Iu answer to the usual questions . Proudhon stated bis age to be forty-one , his profession that ef a journal ist , his birth-p _' ace Besangon . The _tdvocate-general then read the article , and commented on it in strong terras . It was very violent , and , among other things , charged the government , almost in direct terms , with having intentionally Caused the frightful disaster at Angers , to punish the army for Us socialist votes , and it also threatened civil war in the event of M . Leclere being ejected in the place of M . Eugene Sue .

      M . Proudhon then presented his own defence He read it from a manuscript , in order , as he said is the beginning , that , if he sh o uld he r eaf t er abandon the principles set forth in it , he m ight incur the resp msibility of violating his word and his _opinions . The' Voix de People / he said , bad been _teized ten limes ia three and a half months , its f rioter bad been deprived of his license , and , fur a month past , the journal had ceased to appear . 'I thoug ht , ' he c o n t inu e d , * that , after having killed ss , the government wonld have had the good taste to leave as quiet ,, aud Fdid , I confes s , expect that this prosecution wonld not bave been followed up ; % at we live at a period in which words and things

      ¦ eem to have changed their meaning , in which love and respect to the government are measured _4 y the contempt and hatred felt forthe Republic , ii which a man is reputed an enemy of family and society if he does not admit the re-establishment 0 f privilege , in wbich the enemies of order invoke no ether reason than that of the sword , in which it bo longer suffices fo brute force to _hz brutal , but it makes itself hypocritical ! ' The defendant then entered into an elaborate argument to prove that the Charges against bim aad his co-defendant were unfounded . ' It is always tbe same silly accusation . whi c h is m a d e ag a i n st u s , ' he said , * that of dething to overthrow the government of the republic

      _thsugh we are occupied alone in defending tbat government ; of causing division in society , though we preach the fusion of interests ; of corrupting the soldier in orderto secure impunity for revolt , though our princip le is t ha t under t he regime of universal suffrage , insurrection is not only a fault bnt a crime ! In truth , v ? e are tempted to believe , that if the government proceeds against us with so much severity , and for off e nc e s ag ainst which we protest with all the energy of our consciences , it is because it requires expiatory victims for its own attacks on the principles of our institutions ? ' After some further observations , M . Proudhon said that H . de Montalembert , a few days ago , accused him of

      supporting the republic as a means of arriving at Socialism ; and yet the accusation now madd against him was of attacking the republic ! He declared that he would consent to accept any constitution , and even the restriction of the suffrage , provided the government would undertake to respect the _tiiadamental principle of equality ; : for that principle wonld , he said , of necessity lead to equality fai work , and equality in fortunes . ' W h at we seek , ' he observed , ' is t o re a lise Socia l i s m , and to do that the constitution suffices . Any _government , indeed , wou'd suffice to lead us to Socialism , for the revolution was social and not political . A retrogade government , ' he continued , ' shrinking from the consequences of its principles , interdicts a certain road to the social revolution , but it will seek other paths

      —it will p ass , he assured ; you can no more drive back Socialism , than you can prevent the Seine from flowing towards hs ocean — you would do _mu-. h better to try to direct it . Re-establish , if you wil _^ the old worn-out privileges , the rights of primogeni ture , f e udal ri _ghts , corporations — all that will lead to nothing so long as the economic revolution shall not be laid down ; take us back to the commencement of the world , to the terrestial paradise , do over again the work of sixty centuries—and all tbat will lead to _nothing ! ' Proudhon then protested that be bad sever intended to accrue the ministry of having premeditated the catastrop he a t An g ers ; t hat s o far from dividing society he sought the reconciliation o f a ll cl a sses , and t ha t his opinion was , that the object of the revolution was to efface old distinctions of classes — to make a better division of

      fortunes ; and tbat so far from wishing to seduce the soldiery , he thought they ought to obey their chiefs and march against those who should attack the law . He concluded thus : — ' I know that _political _justice is always of a political character , hut 1 dare to hope , notwithstanding the enormous dis * tance which separates i our opinions from ours , tbat you will not he too severe . What have I done during the last two years ? I have endeavoured to establish the economic revolution on the political revolution and if I have changed the

      dispositions of the peop le , the change is tbat forme r l y they went to the barricades , and that n < sw they do not . I have endeavoured to create a movement par t y , advanced , in speculation , m o derate in p ract ice , enligh te ned by the lamp of economic troths—I have endeavoueed to found economic liberalism , and political and religious liberalism . ' M . Madier de Monljau then presented some observations on behalf of Proudhon , and M . Cremieux pleaded for Laugrand .

      After bearing the rep ly of t he public p r o secu t or and the summing up of the President , the jury , after twenty minutes' deliberation , returned a verdict of Not guilty . ' - Th e acq ui tta l of Prondhon i s c ons idered as a great blow to the coercive system of the government , aud a highly important manifestation of public opinion . Sunday . —The decision of the committee on the Dotation Bill is at last known . Yesterday , after a sitting ; , which lasted from noon till six o'clock , and afresh conference with MM . Baroche , Fo u ld , and Bonner , all the measures of transaction proposed by the minority of the committee , aud sanctioned by

      the government , were rejected in succession . The committee then decided by nine votes against six to move the assembly to reduce the government ' s bill to the following proposition : — ' An extraordinary credit of sixteen hundred thousand francs is opened to the Minister of Finance for the expenses in 1849 and 1850 , occasioned by the installation of the President of the Republic This sum shall he Chargejl b y halves opon the credits of 1849 and 1850 . ' Si ng u lar t o add , the members of the com-Kittee who were most forward ia urging this conclusion , U . Cretan aud M . de Mornay _, both shrank successively from the responsible post of reporter , which was vo ed t o t hem , and after their refusal _devolved upon M . Faudia , by whom it was accepted .

      Monday . — The semi-official « Conslitutionnel contains the following important notice on the decision of the committee on the Dotation JMI : — This decision , notwithstanding its gravity , has not if we are correcdv informed , produced any very deep emotion in the head of the state . A new credit , deemed necessary to the legitimate action and dignity of the executive power , had been demanded , inthe measure indicated by experience . Ths same opinion prevails to day which prevailed yesterday on the subject of this credit . The President of the Republic indicates what he deems suitable , very _iudispensible to the elevation of authority . The Assembly has the rijht of feeling and judg ing differently from himself , if the bill is not _* ate l as it has been presented the President of the _^ public , without renouncing the convictions which experience his given him , will restrict himself with-

A private in the 42 nd regiment of the Line was sentenced by court-martial-yesterday to imprisonment for two years , for having on the 19 th of Mav last , cried in the me des Fosses-du-Temple , in the ' mids t of a mob , ' Vive la Republique _Socialel A has .

Wednesday . —A telegraphic despatch from the Frenc h ch a r g e d ' affaires in ' London , a n nouncin g t he adoption of Lord . Stanley ' s mo t ion , has thrown t he

      royalists into a state of ecstacy . Alread y t hey rub their hands over the presumed fall of the Whigs . The moderate Conservatives , not less rejoiced at the blo w deal t on Palmers t on , profess some regret for the damage done to the cabinet . The Reds would hail a Tory ministry as affording a ground for propaganda in England , and g iving an impulse to the revolution throughout Europe . " At the end of his d e spa t ch , the French charge d ' affair es adds t ha t t hi s result exceeds the expectations of those , who were most disposed to beUeve that a check awaited the government .

      The President of the Republic addressed , on the 10 th ( the anniversary ofthe death of the Marshal ) , a letter to Madame Begeaad , expressive of his profound regret at the loss which France sustained in the death of that distinguished _cora-nander . The le tt er f a r t her announced t ha t her _. _son . _in-rlaw , who was Receiver-General of Finance in the Haute Loire , bad been promoted to a more lucrative appointment in the Finisterre . [ Bugeaud was one of the most pitiless ruffians and bloodthirsty scoundrels that ever breathed the breath of life . Happily , on the . 10 th of June , 1849 , the cholera sent him to ' glory . ' ]

      SWITZERLAND . The municipal elections for Geneva have terminated in the defeat of the ultra-radical party , an immense majority of conservatives having heen elected . The electors have felt the necessity of uniting against the administrative system ot M . Fazy . At B _^ rne the triumph of the liberal conservative part y is also complete . The election of Colonel Kurn to the presidency of the chief council by 117 votes , and those of such men as MM . Blosch de Reichenbach and Moschard , men who

      have figured in the" Sonderbnnd ,- prove that the socialist party have to expect a strong opposition . The alarm is very great in the ranks of the _revolutionary party . It is said that another note has heen received from Prussia on the subject of the presence of the refugees in Switzerland , and complaining of the conduct of those who inhabit the frontier cantons . The Swiss government is called upou to put an end to tbe socialist p rop a gand a , _snd threatens in case of default to close the frontier on the whole line .

      GERMANY . BERLIN , Joke 14 . —M . Martini , director of the lunatic asylum at Leubus , who was directed by tbe government to investigate the menial condition of Sefeloge , bas reported bis opinion that tbe prisoner is nat only at present incapable of rational self-control , but was under the influence of monomania before 1848 . The « Westdeulschen Zntung' was again seized on the 12 th . There is reason to expect that the section of the Maine and Weser railway , which extends from Marburg to Lollar , will be opened to public traffic in tbe course of six weeks . An experimental train has traversed the line with success . The works between Lollar and Siessen are proceeding with areat activity .

      The * National' and 'Urwahler' were confiscated yesterday morning . Several other journals have been stopped in the post-office A vendor of newspapers bas been arrested . . ' ... Th e fir st journal to which an official _^ note has been sent under tbe new law from the post-office , apprising the editor that the _postmaster will not receive any orders or subscriptions for-it for the ensuing quarter , is t he » New Koni g s burg h _Ziitung . ' The editor is simply informed , that the journal ' belongs to that "category-of papers not calculated to bave an account for ] them opened at the establishment . ' The royal manufactories are more than . usually husv in the construction of arms . A battalion is

      supplied with the new Zundnadel musket every three weeks ; rifles on the same construction are _ako constructed for tbe corps of Chasseurs and Rfiemen as the Guard . The proprietors of the ' National Zeitung' have at last received a notification from the police-authorities of the . article which . was the cause of the -first seizure . The notification was accompanied b y the information that the sentence of the court might he expected in a few days , It appears then from this that the last paragraph of the new laws , which withdraws offences against the press laws from tr i a l b y jury , has already been brought into operation . The government are determined to lose

      no time then in putting down the democratic press . The police , too , are equall y read y , and still more officious . The 'Constitutional' has an account of an occurrence " which "happened in one of _^ he public gardens before the gates of the city the day before yes t e r day , for the truth of which it vouches . It appears that a gentleman , a governm e n t o ffic e r , was walking quietly about -the . gardens reading a number of the 'Constitutional . ' : Just as he had finish e d r e adi n g , and had transferred the paper to bis pocket he was stopped by a constable , ' who

      demanded the immediate surrender of the ' _National , ' which he declared he had seen in the ' hands of the gentleman . The gentleman denied that he had a' National' abou t him i lhe policeman insisted that his eyesight had not deceived him , declared that be had been ordered to confiscate all papers read in the streets , and compelled the gentleman by threats' o f fo r ce t o _produce t he pap e r , and show that he had deceived himself . The gentleman in question endeavoured to procure some kind of apology , but in vain _.

      The suppression ; by the police of the mechanics unions continues , together with the examination of the _membew of those which bave alread y been suppressed . The police are not yet satisfied of . the non-existence of the vast political consp iracie s which h av e t r o ubl e d t heir d igestion , and ni ghtly repose , since the attempt on the King ' s lif e , by t he prisoner Sefeloge . The parliament of _Ilesse-Cassel was dissolved on the 13 th instant in consequence of the opposition to the ministerial proposal to grant the taxes for a period of three years .

The attempts made . by the _fcovetuuieut to obliterate every ttftmoiial . of ihe leaders of the Hungarian insurrection "border on the ridiculous . A lithographer at Pesth , . in whose workshop a stone was -found with y an ' unfinished likeness of Kossuth upon it , has been seized and imprisoned h y the police ; and the whole impression of an engraving of Kossuth ' s children has been _con-, fiscated and burnt .

      INDIA AND CHINA . Latest News , —India is tranquil 'throughout . No farther disturbances have occurred on the AfFjban frontier of the Punjab . " The passes between . Peshawur and Kohat still remain unsafe . It is generally considered unadvisahle to attempt anything further against the Affredees without a regular h i ll campai gn . The hill country itself would have to be occupied in order to keep the passes open , as posts could not be maintained in the passes themselves on account of the deficiency of water . On the 4 tb of May the shi p Sei t ha , 600 tons burden , was burnt at her anchors in Bombay harbour .

      AMERICA . . . THE CUBAN EXPEDITION . < . _' . The Europa has brought intellig ence regardin g the Cuban invasion confirmatory of former accounts , _Jhoagh the details are somewhat contradictory . One report statfs that a portion of the invaders had landed onthe south side of Cuba , a nd had t aken _possession of Cienfuegos and Trinidad . Great excitement had taken place at Havannah on tlie receipt of this news , and a large number of troops had left for the supposed scene of action . In fact , scarcely a soldier remained in Havarinah . - The brig

      Z e nobia l at el y arrived at Savannah from Cuba , reports that all the troops bad again left for Cardenas . On the other hand it is staled that intelligence-Had reached the Spanish legation in Washington that no less than 1 , 500 prisoners had been taken in two large vessels on the south coast of Cuba , most of whom were Americans , who were allowed to return , those of other countries being tried by court-martial . Despatches had been received at Washington from the American consul at Havannah , stating that he had demanded the 105 persons taken by . a Spanish ship-of-war on the Island of . Contoy , that being a neutral territnrv . The men who had been taken on

      that island had not engaged in open hostilities and were engaged considering the propriety of abandoning t he i s l a nd and r et urning home when they ' were seized upon . The Governor of Cuba hot having rep lied t o the con s ul ' s demand , that functionary had _sa n t for addi t ion a l power to enforce it . Accordingly , de sp a t ches had b ee n for wa rd e d from Wa s hing t on t o such portions of the squadron as could be immediately collected at Havarinah , _tojissist the consul in pressing the demand . Should the . Spanish

      government refuse the consul is to report to Washington , when or _Jers will be at once given tb obstruct communication of all vessels with the port of Havannah . A Washington letter slates thai a council of the United . States cabinet had been held in that city , when it was determined upon to hold the authorities o f t h e island o f Cuba r igidly accountable for their treatment of all American subjects ; , and to carry out tbat determination a special agent was to be at once despatched with tbe necessary instructions to Havannah . "

      ' A correspondence is said to have passed between Mr . Clayton and the Spanish minister relative to the imprisonment of certain Americans at Havannah . upon unfounded suspicions of connivance with the invaders , and also with respect to the . forced enlistm e nt of American s in to t h e C u b a n volunteer ' bands . The Spanish minister assured Mr . Clayton that the course which would be pursued by the authorities at Cuba would be such as could g ive n o cause of complaint to , the Cabinet of the United Slates , and tbat no American citizen should he imprisoned , or put to death , unless an ample proof b e ing g iven of the . violation of the laws of . S pain , Cuba , and also of the United States .

The S panish authorities had refused the commander of the United States squadron permission to see the prisoners , ' or perait . lue . mto be sent home for trial . . ' _.--:.. : ' _¦; . ¦ .. The United Stales frigate Congress had sailed for Cuba , to intercept a Spanish vessel , con t ainin g a number of Americans , taken prisoners in an island near Yucatan .

The Spanish commander ' had demanded the surrender of the Creole and the moheyj The reply made him was , 'Wc have no f o rc e ,

      and the invaders will not give up the money , ' The Spanish commander then offered to put himself and his entire force under the . com m and o f t he c i vi l authorities at Key West , for the purpose of taking the Creole and the money ; This , was declined , a promise being made that the money would be returned by order of the United States government to the Cuban _authorities . It is generally believed that the invaders have iu their pay many members of the American press . ' . '¦'!''

      Two vessels , with reinforcements for General Lo p ez , and which were , commissioned to land at different points of the island , were still at sea , tiieir fate and destination unknown . In the event of these vessels being captured by the S paniards , the United States squadron had been instructed , to demand them ofthe Spanish commander , and in t he event of refusal to seize them by force .

Such are the motives that have induced the Tuscan government to address itself to the Emperor and demand his arbitration . The Emperor , notwithstanding tbe lively interest he f _^ _els for _Tuscsiiy , lias not considered himself hound to accede to this request . It ia hot on account of a s um more or ( es s i mp or ta n t in a mount , but on principle , that theEmperor cannot admit even the idea o f an indem n i t y of a ny kind cl a imed as a leg itimate right , still less exacted b y force , because by doin g so he would _api-ear to give it an implicit sanction bv

      r _/ The cabinet of London cannot but understand that the present is a question o ( the gravest kind for the independence of the whole of the continental slates . In . fact , if the rights sowrjit to ; be established b y Eng l a nd . at this moment with respect to Naples . or . to . fTuscany be once admitted as a preceden t , the result would be an , exceptional position for ail British subjects—a position far superior in advantages to that enjoyed hy the nati ye inhabi ta n t s of other countries ; while the governments that so received and admitted tbem on their territories would . he , " placed ' in an intolerable situation . In place of hring _. _' as hitherto , a source of benefit fer the countries where they establish themselves , and

      where they . transport with their establishments those habits of industry , of morality , and of orde r _^ which- so honourably characterise the English people , their presence would become a perpetual source of annoyance , andfin certain ' cases an ine : vitable _scourge .

Every _sovereign who " , by the geographical

      position of bis territory , or from his relative weakness , would be thus _i-xposed to measures , of coerci o n from an E n g lish . fleet , would be struck powerless in pres ' _siic ' e of rebellion ; he would ; never dare to adopt measures of coercion against insurgents , and if he-adopted tbem he wonld he ohiijed to examine the details of every operation , to estimate the necessity or the inutility of such or such a strategic measure- " which may expose English subjects to injury , aiid . to recognise the English government aa supr e m e jud ge'betiveen the soverei gu and hi s _sub ? jects in matters relating to civil war and internal government .
