      FRANCE .. The _Bu-oxapartist Violation of "r _& E _Coxstitutiok . —Paris , Tkdesdat . —The following protest of the minority against the suppression of clubs has received 150 signatures ;—¦ ' The first article of the law against the clubs is a violation of the constitution . We have protested by our vote ; we have protested by abstaining _? and we persist in abstaining , because we will not have any share in passing a law which is a flagrant violation of natural rig ht and of the constitution .

The _SamSgmi _. editors cf the Peuple , _caBsequently 5 m ?* tf an invitation shall be addressed to all -lie representatives of the people who persisted in abstainmg from voting on the bill on clubs ? to all the editors of the republican press ; to all the presidents and secretaries of clubs ; to * ll members of _eleetiJ-sa ' committees , and all citizens who may wish to take pare in this solemn protest , to unite on the _dav on which . the law on the clubs shall be

      pro-¦ elairoed , and immediately provide the means of organising resistance to arbitrary power . For this ( purpose a club _^ ball be opened under the provisions of the law of _2 Sth July , 1848 . The place , day and hour of meeting , the names of presidents , _vicerpresidents , and secretaries , shall be announced in advance by the journals . The citizens who desire to belong to the club must present themselves without arms ; any armed demonstration will be severely Interdicted . It is not a battle which we have to give to the _government , autres tempi autres _mamrs-^ Che people-act politically in these days—they no longer fighU It is an act of legal resistance which has to be accomplished . The club , therefore , will await the summonses of the _cammissaries of police

      it will respond to those summonses by invoking the test of the law and the constitution , aud will only cede after three times repeating its protest force The -attentat accomplished , the citizens should withdraw , and prepare between themselves , other means of resistance . These means will be the following : —1 . Refusal of- the taxes . 2 . Refusal' of Military service . 3 . _Refusal to obey citations and judgments of courts and tribunals , all summonses of business , requisitions of the public prosecutor , warrants of examining magistrates , commissions of agents of judicial authority . 4 . Refusal of obedience to all the decrees and ordinances emanating from the central government . ' Le Peuple was again seized on Friday .

      The Democratic Association of the friends of the Constitution have signed the following protest against the bill relative to the clubs : —* Considering that in a free country the right of association is inalienable and imprescriptible , that this sacred right Is guaranteed by the 8 th article of the Constitution , that the project of law against clubs presented by tbe Ministry is an attempt against that right , - we protest with energy against that violation of tbe Constitution , and we hope that the representatives of tbe people will reject the project of law . —Buchez _, President ; Lebellonge , Grevy , Dcgouee , aud Deomnret , Vice-Presidents . ' _laJtefowne contains the following declaration ; — - The _firjt article of tbe project of law a » _ainst tbe dabs violates the 8 th article of the Constitution .

      It is a direct attempt against the right of meeting and association , aud an attack against the Republic . The representatives who have abstained performed their duty , and are entreated to persevere . The Democratic press and the people are with them against the enemies of the Constitution , who are also those of public prosperity . The people will remain calm , aod await . ' The above is signed by the editors of the ' Reforme , ' ' Democratic Pacifique , ' ' Republique , ' * Peuple , ' Revolution Democratiqae et Sociale , ' * _Populate / and Travail Affranchi . '

      Paris , Sunday . —The Assembly , after post hour last evening , brought to a close the debate of the law ou the clubs , which was finally adopted . The third and conclusive reading will take place after five clear days . By this law clubs are interdicted , but public meetings for the discussion of political subjects which have not the character imputed to clubs by the present law will be permitted . According to the present law , a club is an organised body having a president , vice-presidents , and secretaries , the meetings of which are periodical and public , and the debates of which extend to any and all political questions which its members may from time to _time propose . The meetings which this law permits , if the society be public , must not be periodica ! , nor must the society be permanently organised . In a word , the intention of the law is to tolerate

      occasional public meetings , which may be convoked for especial purposes , which purposes must be duly announced and previousl y notified to the police . But the law also permits the existence of associations regularly organised , with periodical meetings ; the public not to be admitted , but the number of members of the association to be unlimited . These societies may discuss political subjects . _f They must , however , notify their organisation , presidents , secretaries , & c , to the police , the agent of which may be present _. It is contended that this law will have no other effect than to abolish the name of ' club . ' The clubs will still exist as private societies .

      The purposes of agitation will be accomplished partly by the publication of their proceedings , but more by their power under the first part of the law of declaring their meetings public , whenever it suits their purpose to do so . Being private societies in general , tbey will become from time to time public meetings , and thus attain all the objects , and accomplish all the mischief imputed to the clubs . — Daily News . _Excrrun Statu op Pahis . —On Saturday efternoen and evening attroupements were collected in various quarters . The town was patrolled by strong detachments both of cavalry and infantry during the night .

      Paris , Sun-hay Evening . —To-day a great number of troops are underarms , and there are some fears of disturbance ; but tbe snow , which has been falling all day , will probably cool the courage of any persons who may be inclined to disturb the public peace . —Morning Chronicle . The Cholera . —M . Blin de _Boudon , representative of the people ,, a _Legitimist in politics , and a most devoted adherent of Henry V ., died a few days ago , of cholera . Thb Tyrants Defeated . —Le Peuple Souverain of Lyons , which was prosecuted by the Attorney-General for an article containing an attack on Marshal _Bugeaud , has been acquitted . The Socialists and their Organ . '—The

      journal of M . Proudhon is now regularly seized every day . The apostle of Socialism declares that he trill _perierere _, and that , in the end , this proceeding , instead of damaging himself , will ruin the government . 'The Socialists , ' writes the Times correspondent , ' continue unwearied and undismayed in their exertions to seduce the army ; and I have some reason to believe that the government will soon be obliged to adopt still more energetic measures than heretofore to put a stop to the spread of the

      pestilence , at least , so far as the army is concerned . I am assured that , for some weeks past , M . Proudhon ' s journal , LePeupk , has been circulated at the rate of from 30 , 000 to 40 , 000 numbers daily , and that means of every kind are used to ensure their delivery in the barracks of the principal cities of France . Where the funds ere procured to defray the expenses of so large a supply of that noxious drug , it is difficult to say , but the fact is so . Socialist agents , disguised as servants , comrnis-voya . geurt , & c , labour earnestly in the mission . '

      The June Insurrection . —A woman named Leblane was tried by court-martial in Paris , on Tuesday , for having taken an active part in aid of the insurgents of June . She was sentenced to hard labour for ten years . Spread of Socialism m the Army . —A pri . Tate soldier named Claverie , of the 9 th Regiment of Light Infantry , was arrested on Saturday night , whilst on guard at the War Office . He was lodged in the military prison of the Abbaye . He is charged with having publicly avowed himself a Socialist . Two sergeants of the 26 th regiment of the line were also arrested in Paris on tbe same day charged with a similar offence . Fifty-five artillery men were arrested this morning for having expressed opinions of the same kind . They are to be sent to Algeria . THE TRIAL OF THB REPUBLICAN CHIEFS .

      BouRGE 9 , March 21 . —After tbe examination of ¦ several witnesses , a M . Hutteau d'Origny gave evidence and in the course of his statement said , he ; perfectly remembered hearing a man standing near 1 to Barbwr _demand-Atwo hours' pillage of Paris . ' ' This remark again brought the prisoner Barbes to j his feet , ( o protest energetically against the _^ er-,

      tion . He said it was mos _. textraordinary , seeing _"¦»•• * the representatives who nad g iven their evidence bad _pobUivulv declared _theft having heard nothing oi _u . The witness repeated , in the most posi tive manner that he heard the words . Barbes , Was the crj uttered by more than one person ? W « n" . i or . lv _beardit fro * one . _BaAea : M . _bucht z has declared that he heard nothing of it . Witness . M . _££ * perhaps , did not hear what we were saying to Mai Barbes : And why not ? Witness * . You will -excuse my replying to that question . Barbes : The -deposition of the witness appears very extraordinary , and has some analogy to that given by the I representative ' Point relative to my friend Raspail .

      It Ss more than ten months that the examination has been going on , and yet it is at this audience , for tiie first time , that a fact has been asserted against which we must protest .. President * . M . Poin did not depose before the . examining magistrate . Barbes : It is important to remark that the words said to have been uttered in the presence of the witness were not heard by several of the representatives not by the short-hand writers . President Prisoner Barbes , I do not understand why yeu at . tach so much importance to these words . It is

      evident that you are not responsible for the 100 , 000 men who composed the manifestation . Barb ts Your remark , M . le President , is very just . Raspail : But we do not wish the name of Frenchman to be sullied by such an aspersion . President . * But you could not prevent the cry of a violent and senseless man . Raspail " - We are perfectly convinced of that ; and it was therefore unnecessary to have inserted the words in the-indictment , which has received , immense publicity . Procureur-General : It was inserted in the indictment because we found it

      in tbe Moniteur . .. ; Witness said that he was positive as to the fact . He had mentioned it to several persons , and , among the rest , to M . Thenon . M . Tbenon was recalled , and confirmed the fact of the words having been mentioned to him . Barbes : It is clearly proved that I did not make use of the words . My fellow-prisoner , Raspail , has done right in saying that the Republican party is not responsible for the expresion .. Procureur-General : We cannot allow any remarks about distinction of parties

      to be used here , nor any allusions as to whether it was Republicans who attacked the Assembly or who defended it . It was , on the contrary , the true Rer publicans who opposed those engaged in the manifestation . _Blasqui :. ([ with great warmth ) The true Republicans are these who risked their liberty and their lives to establish the Republic . Procureur . General : And who wished to overthrow it when it was established 1 Blanqui : ( continuing ) Whilst our adversaries , who have always opposed it , are those who are now desirous to overthrow it .

      Procureur-General : No . Blanqui : _fto ! That is mere hypocrisy ! . M . Demonty , a representative of tbe people , deposed that be had heard Louis Blanc deliver a speech the object of which was to calm the irritation of the people . He could . not recollect , the exact words he made use of , but the speech concluded with "Withdraw ; do not violate your proper sovereignty . " Barbes afterwards _rpoke , but he could only- distinguish the word " Withdraw . " A young man bad used threatening language towards Barbes , and had handed him his card . . He heard

      Raspail read the Polish petition . Oue ef the representatives wished to prevent him , but others exclaimed , "You are imprudent ; allow him to do it . " The last words he heard Raspail utter were , « ' Withdraw , or I shall say you are bad citizens , bad Republicans . ' ' Witness afterwards heard Blanqui speak ; his address was not at all of a pacific character ; it was rather calculated to irritate the minds of the people against the rich . Witness heard a person , who , he was told , was Huber , pronounce the dissolution of the Chamber . . Witness did not

      know anything of hira further than having learnt his name . — M . Ginoux deposed , that he was at the Assembly after its dissolution had been pronounced by Huber . At that time tbe Chamber was nearly filled with National Guards and Gardes Mobiles . General Courtais was standing on a bench , endeavouring to make himself heard . The general ' s efforts met with the greatest opposition , but witness heard him say , * ' In the name of people , I command the _National Guard to leave the Assembly . " The witness added that it was he who disarmed the general , exclaiming , "This is the sword of a traitor . ' '—General Courtais : Wretch ! — The

      President : Prisoner , you cannot be allowed to insult a witness . —Barbes : The exclamation of the general was but the expression of a natural indignation . — The President , addressing Barbes : Your observation was uncalled for . — General Courtais : lam an old soldier , M . le President , and it is only natural that I should feel indignant at such an exclamation . —President : Prisoner Courtais , you must retract the offensive word you have made use of to < wards the witness . —General Courtais : I retract all that may impede the progress of the proceedings . —

      M . de Fitzjames heard General Courtais _request the National Guard to retire , as the Assembly could not deliberate during their presence . An outburst oi indignation then took place . The general was ac . eused of treason , and many of the National Guards rushed upon the general . Fearing that some violence would be done to his person , the witness sprang forward to protect him . The general was afterwards withdrawn from the Assembly by his aide-de-camp , but finding obstacles opposed to his egress , the general returned , and bravely faced those v _* ho threatened him . —General Courtais : The

      witness has forgotten to mention one circumstance , which was that the witness had received a bayonet wound while he was defending him . — M . de Fitzjames ; I only did my duty , and what you would have done bad you been similarly placed . —M . Gazotte de Mortfleury , governor of the Palais National , was next examined . He deposed that tbe prisoner Vilain , the president of a club called ' Droits de I'Homme , ' had applied to him on the part of Caussidiere , bringing a letter from that person , begging the witness to give them a room to assemble in . but he had refused , without an order from the Minister of Public Works . Vilain had afterwards , received permission to have a bed in the

      Palais National , with seven other persons . Sobrier had , after some time , applied to have a room there for a club , but witness had refused him . Sobrier and his club , however , took forcible possession of a room , and he ( witness ) wrote to the Minister of Public Works on the subject , but received no answer . Clubs , presided over by Barbes and Huber , had also held sittings there . Hubei ' s was the Club des Clubs , and always had guards at their door , with orders not to allow any strangers to enter . Witness could not say , from his own knowledge , that cartridges were made in the Club Huber , but it was generally reported in the Palais that such was the case .

      The proceedings an tbe 22 nd were not important . March 23 rd ;—After the evidence of M . de Tracy , Minister of Marine , Colonel Bourdon , and Colonel Dalapras _, M . Gurnard , formerly chief of the staff of the National Guard , declared _thct he considered the orders given on that occasion sufficient . Guinard's evidence was favourable to the prisoner Vilain , and also to Barbes . The latter interrupted him by crying out , ' Mn ami , I make no defence . Bo not , therefore , I pray you , speak of my name . ' To which the other replied , * You may rely on it . I

      will say nothing to wound your noble heart . '—Clement Thomas , ex-Colonel of the 2 nd , and _Forestier , Colonel of the 6 th Legion , also deposed to the same effect . —Madame Darrontez deposed , that she was in the habit of attending Blanqui _' s Club , and on the 13 th heard the manifestation freely discussed there . Blanqui was moderate in his language , and expressed himself as opposed to the manifestation . — -The prisoner Raspail complained that the imprudence of Huber iu dissolving the assembly had compromised their sacred cause . —Several other witnesses were called , but their evidence was not of much

      importance . _MAacB 24 th . —Neatly the whole of the witnesses gave their evidence in favour of General Courtais , accused of having facilitated the entrance of the National Assembly to the rioters on the 15 th of May . Monday , March 26 . —The proceedings were interesting , owing to the examination of MM . Gamier Pages , Marie , and Pagnerre , members of tbe Provisional Government . Their evidence was rather favourable to the . _prisoner -General . Courtais , of wham they expressed a high opinion . Three colonels of the National Guard declared that they

      had considered his instructions on the night of the 14 th sufficient , without waiting for further orders . The proceedings were also interrupted by Blanqui , Barbes , and Sobrier . The list of witnesses was exhausted at half-past one o ' clock . The proceedings were suspended , and resumed at two o ' clock , when the Procureur-General commenced the recapitulation of the evidence . A man in the gallery , who insulted the Procureur in the course of his address , was condemned to twenty-four hours' imprisonment . The prisoner Degre paid no attention to the proceedings ; he was , as usual , emp loyed in sketch-: ing portraits . The Court adjourned at six o ' clock . Tuesday , March 27 . —The Advocate-Genera

      GERMANY . Rejection of Welcker ' s Motion . *—Resigna-TIOK OF THE VON GAGEItN MINISTRY . —rln the sitting of the Frankfort Parliament of the 21 st inst ., the adjourned debate on M . Welcker ' s motion , to appoint the King of Prussia hereditary Empemr of Germany , was continued ; and after MM . Romer and Schuler had addressed the House in opposition to M . Welcker ' s motion , the House divided on the amendment proposed hy the minority of the . committee , viz .,- —that the House should pass from M . Welcker ' s motion and proceed to the order of the day ; and the numbers were found to be—for the amendment , 267 ; aeainst it , 277 . —The House divided next , on the motion o ( the committee in favour of M . Welc ker ' s proposal , and ibis motion was rejected by a

      majority of thirty votes ; the numbers being—for the motion 252 , against it ' 282 . The _Housa received this result at first with silence , which was , however , soon broken by expressions of triumph and disappointment from the adverse parties , and the latter part of this all-important debate , which was to decide tbe weal and woe of the vast German country , was stormy i eyond all expression . How it came'that M- Welcker ' s motion was thrown out is even now a riddle to the very men who voted against it , and the only fact which ; can in a manner explain the mystery is the increased number of Austrian members that took their seats in ibe parliament while the question was pending . No less than 110 Austrians voted in tbe division / only eighty of whom had formerly sat in St . Paul ' s Church .

      We learn from the Frankfort papers that immediately after the vote of the parliament against M . Welcker ' s motion the Ministers of the Empire sent in their resignation to the Regent . VIENNA . —Three of the so-called ' murderers ' of Count Latour were hanged on Saturday morning last , ou the glacis between the ' Sehotcen' and Neu' city gates . The crowd was , as may be supposed , immense , but not the least disturbance took place . " Two others have been sentenced to twenty years ' hard _labaur . . A summary account of the evidence produced against these five criminals , as also their confessions before the tribunal , have been published in tbe official paper .

      THE WAR IN HUNGARY . The Novine _, an Angram paper , under date ot the 15 th , states that the Servians had just given battle to the Imperialists at Hatzfeld , in the Banat , because the latter wanted to dissolve voluntarily the Servian national committee there . A report is added that the _Magyars . had . got possession of Hermannstadt , and that the Russian and Austrian army had retreated . Further , that the Hungarian war was taking a turn still more disastrous against the Austrians , and that the younger son of Windischgratz had been taken prisoner by the Magyars . A crisis was inevitable in the _Soath-Sclavoman districts .

      Jellachich sustained a defeat on the 10 th . He tried to drive the Magyars from Szolnok , but he was driven back with considerable loss both of men and guns . The Hungarian general Perczel had entered Pentele , about thirty English miles irom Ofen , on the right bank of the Danube , at the head of 10 , 000 men ; 400 imperial soldiers were driven out of Foldvar , on the Danube , by the village peasantry . The operations on the left bank go on very slowly * and it seems that the main corps of the Hungarian army is on the point of being transferred to the ri g ht bank . To spare Pesth Irom a bombardment , the main attack will he made on Ofen , after the capture of which that of Pesth must follow . Jellachich had suffered another defeat at _Jassbering .

      THE WAR IN ITALY . The Piedmontese Gazette , of the 17 th inst ., publishes a degree of Prince Eueene de _Savoie Carginon , ordering a levy , en masse , of all the able-bodied citizens of all the _Lombardo-Yenetian provinces , from eighteen to forty years of age . A bulletin was published at Turin , on the 21 st , by the Minister of the Interior , announcing the passage of the Ticino and the march of the Piedmontese

      army into Lombardy . The head-quarters of the King were at Trecate , a small town on the Piedmontese bank of the Ticino , close to the road leading from Novara to Milan . It was by the bridge upon this road , leading to Bnffalora , that the array crossed the river . The passage was unopposed , the Austrians having relived fiom _vlukt point . The road to Milan was reported to have been crowded with the Austrians and their baggage and ammunition in full retreat .

      Advices had been received from Voghera of an attack made by the Austrians upon the Piedmontese , who defended the bridge of Mmana-Corte , near Pavia . The Austrians were repulsed , after which the Piedmontese partially destroyed the bridge . This news was received by telegraph from Alexandria on the 21 st . The Austrians are said to have evacuated Pavia , and retired on Lodi , where Radefzsky was concentrating his army , with the intention of giving battle to the Piedmontese , in the hope that a victory would open to him tbe road to Turin . The Ruffian Radetskl — The ' Milan Gazette' of the 15 th inst . announces that an individual , named Legati , in whose house arms and ammunition were found concealed , had been sentenced to death and executed .

      The' Milan Gazette' publishes two proclamations of Radetski , dated the 17 th , one addressed to the inhabitants of Milan the other to those of the Lornbardo-Yenetian kingdom at large . In the former . Radetski informs the Milanese that he leaves the city to carry the war upon the enemy ' s territory ; but to tranquillise the pacific inhabitants , he informs ihem that he leaves a sufficient garrison and a well provided citadel . He hopes that Milan will remain quiet ; a second army being ready to fight for the rig hts of his _sovereign . They have , he says , already felt tbe consequences of rebellion , but let them be * ware of a second attempt ; the punishment would not fail to follow speedil y and unrelentingly ; for he

      is strong enough to crush every internal enemy , and to fight the external one . The second proclama . tion is nearly of the same tenor ; he warns the inhabitants of Lombardy and Venice not to give ear to the perverse party , which only awaits the resumption of hostilities to excite new disorders . Let them recollect bis moderation in victory ; let them not force him to show them his strength ; punishment would fall quick as lightning upon every province , town , or commune that would dare to harass the rear of hisanny . The emperor offers them liberal institutions . Let them not , blinded by fanaticism , reject them . Let them cast a glance upon unfortunate Rome and Tuscany , and see the consequences of a powerful government .

      The' Gazette' of Genoa , of the 20 th inst . says :-' Letters from Milan say that Radetski , after having despoiled the churches and pillaged the public funds , has imposed a contribution of two millions on the city , to be paid in twenty-four hours . ' Two Battles . — -A letter from Vercelli of the 22 nd , 3 o ' clock a . m ., states , on the faith of persons coming from the Lomellina , that on the 21 at two engagements took place at the same time : one in the vicinity of Vigevano- the other in that of Mortara . In the former the Piedmontese had been the victors , and made 1 , 500 prisoners ; in the latter , which lasted till it was quite dark , the Piedmontese had been obliged to retire .

      A letter from Turin of the 23 rd contains an official bulletin , published on the morning of that day at Turin , by tbe Minister of the Interior . It appears that the first of these affairs took place near Galasco and Gambolo , two villages about half-way between Mortara and the river . In these affairs the Piedmontese troops are reported as having sustained the attack without giving way , although no success is claimed for them . In the evening , about aunaet , another engagement took place near to Mortara , from which the advance of the Austrians may be inferred . The report of tbe result of this confirms the intelligence we announced yesterday . The Piedmontese were forced to retreat , and the Austrians occupied Mortara . The head quarters of the King were removed from Trecato to Novara , where they were established on the 23 rd ,

      Further despatches dated Turin , the evening of the 23 rd , add but little that is important . They say advices received from the camp state , that the divisions of the Duke of Genoa and General _Bes had fallen on the enemy and beaten him , making a great number of prisoners . This news is confirmed by a letter arrived by way of _Yerceii _, and dated to-day , wherein it is said that the Austrians have been beaten at two points . ' , Other adviceB say newB received at Locarno state that at Pavia torrents of blood have flowed . Rumoured Insurrection m _Mh-an . —A letter

      from Switzerland g ives as positive the news of an _insurrection having broken out at Milan on the 21 st ; but , as the _^ _Austrians bad cut off the communications , the details are'not known , On Tuesday morning the French Government received a telegraphic despatch , announcing that the Austrians , on the 23 d came again in collision with the army of Charles Albert , and gained a second and more complete victory . It is reported that the same day ( Tuesday last , ) a courier was despatched for Turin , to M . Boisle-Comte , the French Minister at that Court , with instructions to him to proceed at once _tothe camp of . Charles Albert , and to endca . vour to convince that Monarch of the absolute necessity of putting an end to the struggle .

      The Venetian Republic—The Concordia of Turin , ot the 22 d , contains intelligence from Venice up to the 15 th . On that day Vice-President Minbttd read a message from President Manin , proroguing the Assembly for a fortnig ht . The Vice-President added that explanations would be given at the expiration of a fortnight . The Assembly separated , crying , ' Warfor ever 1 ' All the officers of the land and sea forces are ordered immediately to their respective posts , and the civic mobilised guard is to hold itself ready to second the operations of the rest of the army . The Austrians are retiring from the environs of Mestre and Malghera .

      THE TUSCA'N _. REPUBLIC . —The electoral ope rations commenced on the 12 th , and , according to _tjje « _Constituente Itallana , ' were carried on with the greatest order and ; decorura . A few days before the government had . reviewed the National Guard of Florence , on which occaiioa _Siyior GUerazz ' t made a speech , exposihgtbe falsehood of the scandalous assertions ot'the foreign retrograde press . The military replied with repeated cries of * _Evviva Ia Republica 1 ! and - Uniohe a Roma !' The Tuscan government published a decree on the \ 6 th , levy ing a forced loan upon rich _capitaliots . An income exceeding 1 . 000 scudi ( 5 _, / OOf . ) shall pay fourteen per cent . j an ! so in proportion up to fifty per . cent , upon incomes above 10 000 scudi A letter from Florence of the 20 th states that

      preparations for war are going on with the greatest activity . The Provisional Government has decreed the immediate , organisa'ion of a Polish legion of 2 , 000 men . The colours : of this corps will be the Tuscan flag , with the white eagle of Poland . NAPLES AND SICILY .-The Hellespont , which left Palermo on the 15 ih , brought the intelligence of the definitive rupture of the negotiations opened between the Sicilian government arid the French and English admirals .

      THE ROMAN REPUBLIC—The correspond , nt of the Daily Neivs Writing concerning the threatened Spanish invasion of the Roman States says : — If Queen Isabella expects to conquer this territory single-handed . ( as I learn , to be the project of the Times ) , she may as well try to subjugate her father ' s colonies of Chili and Peru or Mexico . Not a Spaniard who _sc' . s foot on this coast has a chance c ( return . The . Daily News correspondent writes , on the 14 th , that Garibaldi , who , tothe frantic terror of Ferdinand , is hovering over his frontier , has just

      put forth a proclamation , so violent as to cause the Roman Executive . to leave the responsibility of _it-to the great condottiere , and hold themselves unaccountable . He is clamorous to be allowed , with a detachment of 3 , 000 picked men , to raise _anbellion in the _Abruzzi _, which is quite ripe for insurrection and talks of regulating the terms of ' intervention ' at the gate of Naples . . In point of fact , the earthworks thrown up , and the hurried barricades on all the roads leading northwards , show that the Neapolitan Tiberius is more apprehensive of an aggression , than intent on attack .

      CANADA . Poi . iticai , Excitement . — A great uproar has been raised in Canada by tbe introduction of a measure into the Legislature , on the part of the Executive Government / for indemnifying those inhabitants of Lower Canada who were sufferers by the rebellion of 1837 * 8 , It was proposed to grant the sum of _£ 100 , 000 out of the revenue of the United Pro vince , for the losses of all sufferers who had not actually been convicted of rebellion ; and the

      precedent of the compensation already granted to the sufferers by the rebellion in Upper Canada was relied on in justification of the measure . The opposition was headed hy Sir Allen M'Nab and Mr . Sherwood , and substantially rested on two grounds : it was assumed that the compensation was to be partly received by notorious , though unconvicted rebels , for the losses they themselves had _caused b y rebellion ; and the charge was laid upon the provincial revenues ; whereas , the compensation of the Upper Canadian claims had been laid on district revenues . The

      supporters of the measure replied , that the Upper Canadian measure had been resisted by the then opposition , on the express ground that the Lower Canadian losses were not then also compensated , and it was agreed to only when the claims of the latter were recognised ; that , in fact , the measure is only the carrying out of the proposals of the M-1-calf Government ; and that the class of persona to be compensated are described by the same terms used in the Upper Canadian Claims Act : they answer the _objection as to charging the provincial revenue , by calculations showing that the appointment of " _relative charges at the union of the provinces was unequal , and such as to justify the imposition of _tlxit charge on provincial resources , as a set-off .

      The measure was debated with extreme heat in the House of Assembly ; scenes even of personal conflict on one occasion rendering an adjournment imperative . _Resalutions were passed by a majority of fifty-nine to twenty . Meetings of the Loyalists were held in all directions , and the most infuriate language was used . Sir Allan MNab , addressings mob at Montreal , who wreaked their vengeance on the propo 8 erof the measure , M . Lafoutaine , the head of Lord Elgin ' s Administration , by burning : hira in effigy , said : — 'If the measure were forced upon the country , it would be a question for the people of Upper Canada to consider whether it would not be better for them to be governed by the people on the other side of the river , than by a French Canadian majority .
