      Louis Napoleon Bosapaste . Thursday Evekikg—The Bor . apartists are displaying abundant z ? al . Theseveral newspapers ( tor jhere are several r . ew Bonapaitist journal ; . ) are not only sold but placarded at every corner , so that they may be read for nothing . As the placards attract crowds , these crowds beccme so many improvised clubs , and by some chance it happens that a man ef military cut is generally there to act as oracle . Amcns ' the new prints is one with the attractive title of . L > Petit Caporal .

      RiTIOSAL AS 3 EMBLT . Thtjrsdat 15 : h , —The expectation of the ministerial explanations to be elicited by the questions of C urn Pascal Daprat wes disappointed . At the ope ing cf the sitting of the Assembly to-day , that tepi -entathe ascended the tribune and informed the A -embly that the circHmstancFS which yesttrday ren 'ered his interpellations necessary had to-day oeasedtc east , and thus the matter was allowed to drop . Tne prop -sition for declaring Algeria aa intregal part of Fran ewas brought on . The proposition , inreives an idenity of laws and governEeafc , which the Minister 01 Wsr , General Cavaigna ? , Gbjected to , as cot suited to he state of a country so different in ailitscircumstanc s .

      The members for Marseilles made a hard fighc for a law in which the . believed the interests ^ the tows to be er gaged . Citizen Astonin , the porter , read a speech in a very redilable manner . He wore theronnd jacket of his p : ofession . In the course of the discussion that followed , Citizen Pierre Leroux stated , that the question of the emancipat-on of Algeria w&s gained by what has been said y General Cavaignac . He wonld not accerdinglr add ¦» word in defence of the proposition . Citizen Dupin , he said , had spoken of the Roman system of eolanisatien : why did he not raiher adduce the example of En ' . and , and place before the Assembly tae marvellous achievements of Penn . and hi 3 descendants ? It wssnoc enough , he

      ssid , to bare proclaimed the principle of Liberty , Equality , and Fraternity : their re . lisa ion should cease to ce a problem , and France , out oJ « population of S 5 , OO 0 , C 00 , should no longeroffer tfce uectacle of S , OdO , 000 of beggars snd indigent , and one out of three men djing in the hospital . Citizen , 'ierre Leronx then nndertook to prove that in France , 1 , 000 , 0 C 0 of inhabitants lived Trithonfc labour , whi . * r , 34 . 000 , 000 earned an existence by their labou :. Citizen Ltroux ( repeatedly interrupted by the murmurs of the Assembly ) at lass returned to Algeria , and declared that it wa 3 impossible to leave the people of France at the mercy of isiiitary chiefs , and , after emancipating the blacks in the colonies , to reduce Frenchmen te slavery in Algeria .

      SXIRAOEDISARY SCESE . Tie di ? cn 3 iion on Algeria was interrupted by The Pbestoest , who rose aid read to the Assembly , the foilowifig letter from . Louis Kapoieon Benaparte , ¦ which , he sa : d , wa 3 of great importance , and which hehad only that moment received . It is dated : — London , June , 14 . HossitC * IE Pbe'IDEkt , —I was at > Gut to set effin orfler to appear 8 t csj post when I learnt tnat my eitct : oa tad been made the pretext for disorders and dispsirous error * . I repudiate all the suspicions of which 1 feave

      been tbe oVjsct , tor I seek not for power . If the people Impofe defies < n me I shall know how tn fulfil thim—( movement )—bnt I dieEvowall those who hsva mace use of ay caice to ercite disturbance . The name which I tear is above all a symbol of order , ot eationality , cf glcnr ; and , rsthtr tbsn be the sn ! ject o £ 6 Uor 4 tr end -of anarchy , I sbou"d prefer remaining in exile . I stnd you enclosed a copy cf the letter ot thanks which I htva addressed to all the electors who have glren me their * ote « . HaTe the goodness , M . le President , to comraunU cate this litter to my calleasuES , and receive , &c . Locis Kapoleok Bonapiete .

      The ntmost agitation followed the reading ef this letter . A numter of representatives quitted their places , and animated groups were termed in every part of the Chamber . Several depntie 3 rusted together to the tribune . Tne Minister of W&r said he could not express all his thoughts , bnt he conld cot help remarking that in the document just read , ard -which had become a matter of hietcry , the word ' Republic' was cot even mentioned . He painted put this omission to the notice of the Assembly and of the whole country . ( Lond cries of ' Vive la Republique ) Citizen Bauxk must protest in the name of all his colleagues againetthe declaration cfwar of the pretender . They would not have pretender ? , but _ it was necessary that France should know hew that impruder . t citizen had responded to the geEercsitj of the AsEetebiy . He handed over the letter which hid ju .-t been read to its just contempt .

      Citizen A . Thocket : From the emotion which animated all the Assembly , it was evident that all present were def « Eders of the Republic . He must , however , beg to point out one eipressieB in that letter , ' If tbe ~ pefrple impose on me duties I shall know how to fulfil them . ' That was in his opinion an appeal to revolt , and be demanded that the Assembly should iBtnediaUly decree tfcat Lruis Bonaparte baa ceased to be a representative of tie peop ' e . ( Lnud ar . d violent aeitatioD . ) The Ministers of Commerce and of War were in the tribune . The Minister of FitaEce approached them and msde Eome remaik ? , but which were perfectly inaudible from tbe extraordinary agitation which pre-Tailed in tbe Chsmber . Tfee Minister of War re-Earned alone in the tribune .

      The Preside ! : While the discussion was going on , and I * as additg , that to the letter I had read was annexed s copy of ore sent to the electors , I received a menace of vrhich I should wish to know the anthorp . Let the doors be instantly clcsed , it is a tbrtat against the representa ' aies and against tbe president " of the National Assembly . It is as follows * Citizens : If you do not read tbe address of Prince Ivapoleon to the electors , I declare yen to be traitors to the country . ' It is signed Aceuste B ' um , formerly a pupil of the Polytechnic School . This note is written by a madman . It had been announced to me as being written by a public functionary , bat I cow learn that it catae frt-m fifl ncfeDOwn person who threw it from the public tribnne . That circumstance takes from i much of its gravity . Tbe A 5 i . \ i-TEE < . f Wab should make no preposition farther tban that the Chamber ebould adjourn the discussion till to-morrow .

      Several Voices : No , no . We must deKbEnte forthwith ; the writer of tbis insulting [ lettermesfc be declared unworthy to form part of the National " oK ^ Members : In his letter of thanks to the electors , he speaks of the necessity of joining the flag of the Republic , but not of being faithful to the ttepoblic . Some Voicps : Adjourn till to-morrow . Ocher Voices : No , na . We must finish the matter forthwith . _ , ...... ui Citiz-. u Jvis . s F-ivsE : There is in thia Assembly only one grDtimeot .

      S'pub-RESIGNATION OF L 5 UIS 5 AP 0 LE 0 N . Feidit Joke lG .-At two o ' clock Citizen Senard , the president , to&k the chair , and informed the As sembly that he hsd received another letter from Citizen Louis Napoleon , which was brought to him at I V * , . twelve o'clock . Not receiving it by post , he had taken the nrcessary precautions to assure himself of its authenticity , and had ascertained that it reaJly emanated frcm Louis Napoleon . The following is the letter : — London , Jane 15 th , 1848 . M . le Pbesideht—I whb proud to have been electsd

      representative of the people in Paris and in three other Sepaitmtnts . it was , jn nay opinion , an ample reparation / or thirty years' tsile aiid six years' captivity . But the icjarious suspicions to which my election has given rise , tbe dtttorbacces of which tt was the pretext , and the hostility of the Executive Power , impose upon me tbe duty to decline an honour which I am supposed to have obtained by intrigue . I desire order and the mai&tenBuce of a wise , great , and enlightened Republic , and , since I inveluntarily favour disorder , I tender my resignation , not without rtgret , into your handa . Tranquillity , I trust , will now be restored , and enaable me to return to France as the humblest of citizens , but also as one of the most devoted to the rcpoae aufl prosperity of bis country . Charles Lons Napoleon Bohapabte .

      The President having obierved that the admission of Citizen Louis Napoleon had not been pronounced by the Assembly , and that the Committee had only declared his election valid , the Assembly was not called njion to vote on the letter , which was referred to the Minister of the Interior , with orders to convokt the electoral colleges which had returned Louis ftapoleon . The Misister of the Ikzsbiob roEe and laid on the table a project of a decree , demanding the formation of 300 battalions of moveable National Guards , coinpored of unmarried men , bet * een 20 and 34 years of age , who are to remain in their homes until further orders . The A ; -spinbly afterwards resumed the discussion on the proposition relative to the annexation of Algeria to France .

      Citizen GuicHAED . the first speaker , undertook to refute the Socialist doctrine developed by Citizen Pierre Leroux en Thursday . Cit zen Dccoux likewise combated the doctrines of Citizen Pierre Leroux , wh& , he was' sorry to say , c- ^ uld recommepd no other remedy for the evils ot society thaa emigration to Algeria . The only meanB of insuring the security and liberty of the Regublio was iti the opinion of Citiztn Ducoux to promote the derelo . etrent of property . The era of liberty was

      iEaugnrtted in France on the day the peasantry were allowed t . become proprietors of the s ^ il . In England , the p .-cp ! e could not be said to exist , the territory being t' e exclusive patrimony of the oligarchy . It was not c-nscquently wonderful to see 30 , 000 Chartists vanis : ; before the magio wand of a tew policemen . In it eland , the people-were bo debased that they submit si to starve sooner than burst their chains asunder . Citizen Dacoux , in conclusion , recommended the A :-embiy not to overlook tke interests of airriciiltiire .

      General Lamoriciere said , it cad been proposed to declare Algeria an in egral part of the French territorj , snd to refer to th ? committee ou tbe constitution the second part c ¦ the proposition , that Frenchmen in Algeria shouh enjoy the same con ' stitution as in France , lie sh uld oppose both the one and tbe other of theBe prop "isitions , and should submit the following : — 'That the Assembly , renewing its declaration that Algeria is * br ever French , passes to the order of the day . ' After 8 orce further discuFsion , the rebate was declared to be cksed , and the Assembly being consulted , adopted the order of the day , motive , ^ esented by General Lamoriciere .

      Citiz ? n Lons Blanc demanded permis 3 n of the Chambar to protest against the signification given yesterday , in bis absence , to the language '* e had mads use of immediately alter the revolution ot February . If he had , as had bees said , persuaded ihe working classes to fold their arms when such an abandonment of their labour would have endangere society , and reduced the workmen themselves to misery , he should have made uee of the language of a badcit ; z'n . He had always said that the workman who shrank from his labour was as contemptible as the soldier who turned back at the sight of danger . The Chamber rose at a quarter to seven o ' clock . Saturdat , Jvsz 17 th . — At two o'clock , Citizen PoBTALiB , cte cf the Vice-PresidentB , took the chair .

      Citizen Piebee Lekocx having asked to put some questions to Minister ? , said , ttat on his way to the Assembly , he bad been inftrmed that the collection ot the tax of f orty-h've additional centimes had been the cause of a sanguinary collision in the department of the Creuza . A nsmber of peasants in the neighbourhood of Goerets , having assembled to demand the liberation of eeme prisoners who bad refitted the payment of the tax , the National Guard hsd fired upGn the people , thirteen of whom were killed . Ciiizen Lercux suggested tbe expediency of suspending the execution , in certain localities , of a detestable measure , intended evidently to organise civil war . Alter a few words from Citizen Ficcon , Minister of Commerce , _

      Citizen Dabot said , that the Minister of Finance had stated that the tax of forty-five centimes was everywhere paid without resistance . Tbe Minister was misinformed . In the Upper Garonne , for instance , it experienced an obstinate opposition , and on several points it had produced acts of rebellirn . Citizen Destochs added , that in the department of Tarn et Garonne several magistrates had proceeded , at the head of fome troops , to compel the inhabitants of two districts to pay the tax . The latter had planted a tree of liberty , surmounted with a black fcV and a hook , and protested that they would resist te ° the last the payment of the tax . Citizyi Devours , confciousof its injustice , had pledged himself to obtain the repeal of the tax . Here Citizen Poetalis interrupted the speaker , and observed , that such , a premise was an attempt atainst order , which obliged him to call him to

      ordtr . In the discussion which followed , it came out that Thiers , and other members owed their election to the promises given , in their names , that they would procure the repeal of the additional tax of forty five per cent . Citizen Ficcck , Minister of Commerce , explained hi 3 * vstem fer obviat ' iDg the existing crisis , which had caused such alarm and uneasiness throughout the countrv . He attributed the present scarcity of

      money to the extraordinary speculations in which the nation had engaged previous to the revolution , and to the too great numbers cf the rural population who had flecked into the cities . He added , that the first care of the government would be to establish professional schools of agriculture throughout France . It was intended , subsequently , to found agricultural colonies in the departments , according to the system to which Citizen Pierre Leroux had alluded , and be assured the Assembly that the government was determined to nee everv txertioa to put an end to the

      existing evils . Citizsn PirsRE LssoDxtben rose and spoke tor an hour , but his speech was listened to with much impatience . He was finally compelled to conclude in consequence of load and reiterated cries of' the order of the day , ' from sll parts of the house . Citiz-a Woloweki then attempted to speak , out Joud cries of ' Monday , Monday , ' obliged the Presid 6 Mowir ETHOFC .-The National Assembly was occupied during the early part of the Bitting ef tbis day with a discussion relative to a demand ot money , the national ateliers

' About the PerleSt Martin , on Saturday night , th * attroupements were more numerous , more noisy , and more threatening than had been witnessed for some time . It was not until past eleven o ' clock that the > were finally dispersed . About eight o ' clock , the groups became alarming about the legislative palace . Five per 3 oas were arrested , who appeared to lie acting as leaders , and were conducted to the prefecture of police . The garde mobile and the guard of the palace were uEder arms . Within these few days medals with the head of Prince Louis Napoleon have been distributed . They are given by preference ts men in bleuses and sol

      diers ; a great number have been sold on the Boule vardg . They have a ring to attach them to the button-hole , eo that they may terve as a rallying sign . The newly-formed RepublicanlGuard , consisting cf feur squadrons of cavalry and 2 , 220 infantry , was re viewed on Tuesday by the fiye members of the Ex ecutive Commission at the Luxembourg . After tl ^ review Citizen Arago addressed the corjs in a brief speech , in which he explained to them their duty . 1 These , ' said he , 'aretj maintain order in theoity of Paris , and to give an example of strict discipline !' He concluded by telling them that the government reckoned upon'them—the children of the barricades —to defeat the enemies of the Republic , under whatever mask they might conceal themselves . Th-Address of Citizen Arago was responded to by unaui moua cries of' Vive la Kepublique . '

      On Monday evening numerous crowds were foimed on the Piace de J'Uotel de ViiJe , who by degrees began to form an aggressive character . After uttering several timea cries of ' Vive Louis Napoleon ! ' they formed in bands , and commenced dancing around the tree of liberty , singing the ' Carmagnole , ' and crying at intervals ' Vive Louis Na poleon ! Nous l ' aurong . ' They afterwards began to stop the people passing , by compelling them to join in the same cry . Oiie person who replied to their demands by shouting Vive la Republique' was very roughly handled by them , and shouts were raised of 'Ai'tan . le reactioncaire . ' Atchia moment some

      gardiens de Paris came up and rescued him , and endeavoured to disperse the crowd , but they were in their torn attacked , and so ill-treated , that one of them wa 9 carried into the Hotel de Ville in a state of insensibility / and serious fears are entertained for his life . Strong patrols of the armed force came to the aid of the police , aad by repeated marches and countermarches dispersed the crowd and restored order , after making several arrests . Among the individuals taken into custody , seven or eight of them were mea who had already been in the hands of justice for TarioD 8 effenees , aEd they were all found to have arms concealed on their persons . They have sll been committed to prison to take their

      trials-Louis Naptleon has just been elected colonel of lie 4 th Legion of the National Guards of the Banlieue , and may probably be re-elected for Paris .

      THE CITIZKN IIAPAIL , Citizen Ra'pail has published an address to the people thanking them for their suffrages , and exhorting them to repair to the clubs instead of meeting in the open air , and thereby giving a seeming justification to the calumny of their eiiemies , who represent them as agents of disorder .

      TRUE HEROISM . A netice appears in the Reforme fromJose ph Favre , late a Municipal Guard , and at present a private in the 3 rd Regiment of Artillery , requesting to know the address of a young woman who eaved his life heroically on the 24 th of February , at the capture of the guardhouse of the Place de la Concorde , by casting herfei on hia neck and claiming him lor her father . Much of the credit of this good action is due to Citizen Flocon , Minister of Commerce , who was present 11 the engagement , and who sn ^ gested it to the woman aa the only means by wh ch to sava the poor man ' s life .

      DISTDRBAXCBS IN THE DEPARTMENTS . Ac ounts from the country announce sericua disturbances in several departmentp . At Gueret , tbe capital ' fthe department of the Creuze , a mob assembled i nd fixed a placard to a tree of liberty , stating thi t every one who paid taxes would bB hung Several persons had been arrested , but instead of quieting the eople it escited them to further outrage , and an a'tempt was made to set tbe prisoners at liberty . Th e consequence was , a fight between the people and t he National Guard , in which ten persons were hille 3 , eight mortally wounded , and about forty more * ightly wounded . Tco National Guard remained the couqmrors , but further disturbances were expected

      The accounts from oiher parts of the Bouth of France are equally me . ancholy . On Saturday the government received accounts , by telegraphic despatch , of a Carlist movement in the city of Nismes , Tlie particulars are not knr wn , but it is said that a collision teek place between the people , in which three persens were killed and . everal wounded . At Perpignan the foity-five centirce tax has also given rise to a serious riot , and a collision , in which blood W 33 shed , but the particulars are not given ; and at Toulouse a religious procession gai e riae to a tumult in which the National Guard tureen against the repeb'ican authorities Accounts have al-o been received from the Gironde , that the * easantry are in a state of great irritation against the new order ofthbgs .

      KISMES . —FURTHER PARTICULARSIn the evening of the 11 th some partial attacks began , then disorders ; theae attacks were caused by recollection of the bloody struggle which took place en the 2 ? ih of Aprif , on tho occasion of the e ' ections . In the evening of Monday , between eight and nine , Berious fears were entertained by the authorities , ¦ who took their measures but carelessly , for at half , past ten a general collision broke out between the parties , and shotB were fired . On the Tuesday and Wednesday these disorders having continued , but without offering a very serious aspect , became more grave . SkirmiErieB , in which firing took place , occurred between the Faubourgs and tho adjoining country , and many persons were killed and wounded . These have their origin , it is said , in religious ani mosity . Troops were marched from Avignon and Taraecon , 800 ot the engiueetB are gone from Montpellier .

Their cniet sentiments may be briefly summed up thus : —

The last proposal was vociferously sworn to by a large portion of tbe meeting ^ T *^^

      The matter ended in a general vote that the D et was henceforth null and void , and that the parliament be immediately compelled to form a provisonal government after the hearts of the people ; also , that it be compelled to ( oria an offensive and defensive alliance with the French Republic . A republican meeting was held on the 12 ; h on the J -rge of a fir-wood near Affenbacb , a small maimtacturing town in the Darmstadt territoty , about tnree miles from Frankfort . Some thousands were pre ? eut , but no disturbance occurred .

      Berlin , June 13 —The question of monarchy appears to have assumed a decided aspect . The King haB fa'len to the lowest ebb in the estimation of all "lasses . He ha » lost ; individual acd popul r confidence . iii 8 inexplicable conduct on the 18 th and lOta of March—his vacillation—his want of moral courage to refuse , and his reluctanoe to concedebis cravings after empire when his own crawn is tottering—his palpable longings after iha revival of a past that has perished amidst the storms of the present—his obstinacy on some pointspersonal

      points—, « nd his weakness upon others where a stand might be made—hia indifivrence at one moment , and biB earnestness at others—all contribute to estrange the <; codivill and confidence of princes , governments , and well-disposed citizens . When monarchs in such times aa these are spnken of with contempt and distrust , their prospects of stability must be limited to a narrow compass . The King has no party , no faithful adherents is the Chamber , whilst with few exceptions , he has ioat the confidence of the capital and provinces .

      In the National Assembly of Frankfort , on the 14 th , it wasre-olved , by a large majority , that the Girmnhic Diet should be invited to allot a Bum of 6 , 000 , 000 tl . alers , by constitutional means , forlayinn the foundation of a German navy , half to be supplied immedfately , the other half as wanted .

      WPULAIt KISINO 3 . The Aix-Li-CnAPW-LE Gazette states that at Stuttgart , on the 11 h , the 6 th regiment refused to obey its officers , and even drove away tbe Colonel , the men crying ' Hurrah for Hecker . ' It adds , that if a movement were to take place , the government C ' lild not count on the troopa . In the evening of the 13 th , there were some disturbances at Mannheim , the people , on returning from the popular assembly at Neubtadt , having spread over the town , and gone into the coffeehouses and taverns , singing revolutionary songs , the troops were called out , and kept under arms all nignt . . _ .

      A letter from Stuttgart of the 12 ch says : — Dis . turbances have broken out at Caunstadt . The execution cf two condemned prisoners , fixed for to-day , excited the public mind , which was already greatly agitated ; whilst the little respect which appeared to be paid to the petitions demanding the abolition nf the penalty of death , increased ths fermentation . At five o ' clock this morning , crowds of people assembled in the square where the execution wa 3 to take place , anil soon the scaffold was broken , and the remains were thrown into the Necker . It was announced that the condemned had been pardoned , but tho excitement continues to prevail . A battalion of the 4 th regiment has just been sent from this piace to Caunstadt , and the citizens are arming . '

      ANOTHER INSURRECTION IN BERLIN . Bbblis , Juke 14 ; h —Yesterday , placards bad been posted in the town , signed by the president of police , prohibiting the assembling of people in groups in the Castanienwald , and apparently in order to give force to the prohibition , five battalions of the Civio Guard were posted at an early hour in the morning on that spot , as well as in all the thoroughfares leading from f be Sing Academic Tumult was first caused by an attempt to clear tbe place of the thickly packed crowd which had assembled there . The greatest anoojance had for some time b 6 en caused by an order : ) i the head marshal of the court closing the portal

      : > f the royal palace , the court being ordinarily need as a thoroughfare . It was thought that tbis order would not be put in force , but when the gates were rinsed to day , a cry was raised , ' Barricades must be made before the palace , ' and a large crowd commenced carrying vbi » threat into execution . Tho gates were forced fsom their hinges , and were about to bo threwn into the water , when a student , who was by , said that they would be useful elsewhere , and called on the people to take them to the Urjiroraity , in order that they might serve for tho better security of the students . Thia advice was followed , and the gates and bars were brought to the University .

      The attempts of the Burgher Guard to disperse the crowdsin theBtreets , have unhappily occasioned bloodshed . A number of workmen went lato in tho afternoon to the Minister of War , with a demand for employment or money . On their refusal to disperse , the guard charged . with ( he bayonet , and fivo men were wounded . The intelligence of this attack spread like wildfire throughout the cily , and masses ^ gathered with inconceivable rapidity in the Ticinity of the arsenal and the palace .

      The Castanien wald was thronged , the people being literally packed in it . They wero addressed in tbe most irfhrnniatory style by several orators , one of whom recommended them to rush on the patrols of citizens and disarm them ; one , whose advice was followed , recommended them to storm the arsenal , and obtain arms , thenve ,

      STORMING OF IHC ARSENAL . JnxE 15 th—Lastn ? g ! it was pasaed in tei *™ r &n < 3 nlBrm ; but , though distinguished " by smokier a vmh act on the part of the iwp'ilacte , v / hieh . by it ? 8 J"ccoag , ehow « howcomp ! tt (!) tto covesnment ' is paraly sed , there was no direct collision or further bloodshed after the firing in front of the arsenal , between nine and tea o ' clock , 1 he advice to storm the arsenal was promptly followed , and tho people were cleBin ? round it when they were fired ujion by the Burgher battalion , drawn up in front of it . One man was snot dead and several wounded , two of whom have Btnce died . The people instantly dispersed , crying 'To awns' and ' Barricades . ' Immediately afterwards , the battalion withdrew from the po > : ts around the arsenal , and , as it appeared afterwards , the little garrison in the interior vacated tbe building , which wa 3 left wholly without protection .

      The patrols through the oity were continued , but they no longer attempted to ( Jieperee the crowd ; on the contrary , they entered info conversation with them , ^ nd where the pi ople expressed any doubts of their intentions , they ran ? their sttel ramrods in the barrels of their musketa to 9 how they were uploaded . There were rumours of some barricades haviner been built , but beyond one feeble sittempt in tlie Leirzigsrstrasse there io no oonfirmation of them . But af ' ^ er drifting here and there without any definite object , the crowd , soon after eleven o ' clock , appeared to have got a hint that the arsenal was abandoned . They collected round it again , and it was resolved to 8 tprm it . The windows of the ground ffoor are closed'inside with heavy shutters , lined with thick plate'iron ; the doors are all equally strong . But a large beam of timber was procured , and , having been slung between a party of thirty or forty men , was applied to doora and windows in th . 9 mannur of a battering-ram . Tho shutters did their duty well ,

      for , though tbe sound of the heavy blows cnu ' . d be heard for a considerable distance above tbe shouts of the people , and were even mistaken for the reports of musketry , four windows defied all the Rttacks ; plasa and woodwork were split and scattered , but the iron held out ; a fifth gave way , aud through it the crowd entered , and in a few minutes were masters of all the military atores and ammunition the building contained . The search on the groUBd-floor discovered no weapons ; but several pics of lead , provided for caatkg bullets , were carried away in varioii 3 directions—whither no one seemed exactly to know ; there were also Bome cannon there , but they were left , as too heavy for removal . In the upper story the depot of muskets was found , sei zed , and forthwith divided among the invading party : the stock was not so great as expecteJ ; for since the former distribution tho government has not pla : ed any others there . From W 0 to 800 is reported to ba about the number . The crowd keld possession of the building till one o ' clock , find then retired .

      A strong force was posted round tbe National Assembly thia mnrnins : ; but at tbo opening of the sitting the President read a communication from Major Btason which created the utmost astonishment . He informed the Chamber that he had ordered the number of men required to take their pests round the hall , but after the events of yesterday he could not guarantee tbe safety of the Assembly . Tbe Guard had the proper orders , but he could not pro mi * e they would obey him ; just as little could he say they would do their duty if they did ! A second letter from him , apparently later written , stated that the 4 tb , 5 : b , and 7 th Battalions had volunteered fcr the duty , and on them he thought he could rely .

      M . Camphausen then stated the measures the government was prepared to take for the protection of the Assembly . As it appeared the existing force oould not be depended on , it proposedto call out the 3 rd Battalion of tbe Berlin Landwehr ( consisting of men who have served ( heir time in the regular array , but are still liable for extraordinary service ) to mount guard along with the citizens . A stormy debate ensued ; the left , the Opposition , declared Buch extraordinary measures were unworthy of a popular representative A-, tenibly : it would end by every member b < ung obliged to walk home under an armed escort . Their best proteotion waa a perfect confidence in the people i bur , it was no wonder .

      considering the nature of their discussions and vote . " , that the suspicions of the people had been excited . A deputy , named Uhlich , formally moved that the Assembly should dec are that it did not require any armed guard , but that it placed itself under the protection of the pe-ple of Berlin . M . Muller inquired how it was that among a people r > markable for Their trusting disposition , di ^ rnst and suspicion hnd become univerf a' ? He attributed tlie fault to everybody ( at which everybody laughed ) . He condemned their useless debates and motions , and advised them to do something in reality , if they did not wish to see their places fiiied hy o'hers . The motion of M . Uhlich was tarried by a great majority ; it is , of course , equivalent to a defeat of the government .

      LATER AND IMPORTANT NEWS . The Ministers havo tendered thoir resignation . Tbe Landwehr of Berlin , called out for service , have held a meeting , and published a declaration , in which they announce that they insist upon their being treated in the same light as the Burgher Guard ; that they will only serve in uniform when absolutely on duty , and only within the limits of the city ; that they cmsider themselves as citizms to be called out for the day or hour in caso of necessity ; that they will name their own leaders , and only aokEowledge the orders of the Bureher Guard Commander .

      . ITALY . THE WAS IN LOMBARD ? . Tha position of Rivoli having been abandoned by the AustrianBon the night of the 9 th , it was taken possession of by tlie Piedmontese on the morning of the 10 th , The King signed , on the evening of the 10 th , at Garda , the pact with M . Ca ? ati , and two other members of the provisional government of Milan , for the annexa ; ion of Lombardy to the kingdom of Sardinia . The provisional government ia to cease its functions , and a kind of regency , composed of Piedrnontese and Milanese , of which M . Casati is to be the president , will , for the present , fce eatabliBhed at Milan .

      The occupation or Rivoli , which cost Napoleon so many men , and which had been rendered impregnable by the number of barricades constructed by the Austrians , cost tha Piedmontese but a few cannon shota . and a shower of hand grenades . At the first appearance of the latter creeping up the heights , the Austrians tof : k to flight . The floods having carried away the bridge constructed by the Austrians , a great number of them were cut off from tbe main body , and six hundred made prisoners . It appears that Radetsky has given up the intention of defending tbe forts on the Adiee . Vicecza and Treviw have been taken by the Aus * trianB , Tbe attack on Viceczi waa made in tlireo divisions by Radetsky , sustained by a numerous artillery .

      General Durando marched out with the garrison with all the honours of war , after having , as well as his troops , entered into an engagement not to serve , for three month p , in the present war . The Austrians new menace Padua . News is stated to have arrived from Milan of the 14 th , that tha loss of the Austrians at Viceczi was 5 . Q P 0 killed and wounded—that the forces that attncked it were 30 , 000 men , with sixty pieces of artillery and a large foice of cavalry—that the engagement lasted fifteen hours—that the loss of the Italians is 500 men killed and wounded , principally Swiss , and that Radetsky had returned to Verona with 10 , 000 men ,. The same advices state that Charles Albert had commenced tho attack against Verona with 40 , 000 men .

      Advices from Milan to the 11 th inst ., brin ? the official intelligence of the further sucoess of thePiedznoBteFe arms . The heights of Rivoli had been attacked ; the AuBtrians fled after a few discharges of artillery . This success appears to have been obtained by a division of the Piedmontese army , 15 , 000 strong , under the Duke of Genoa , which , as we have already stated , had been detached in that direction . Padua had capitula t ed to the Austrians . Tnt : iriSURRECTION IH CALABRIA . The provisional government established in Cosenza was exercising all the functions of established sovereignty . A parliament was convoked for tbe 15 th

      inst ,, and the national guard of the three Calabrias were summoned to meet them . An address had been circulated to the inhabitants of Naples , in which it was d c ared'that the atrocities of the 15 h oi May had brokea all bonds between prince and people , and therefore , the provisional government having united with tho Sicilians , and encouraged by the genera ] indignation against the roval government , invited the parliament , interrupted by brute force at Naples on the loch May , to reassemble at Cosenza on the 151 h of June , and to place under the £ Ciis of tha Assembly the sacred rights of the Neapolitan people . Thia address bore the signatures of the members of the Committee of Public Safety .

      Other deorees of the provincial government order the organisation of a mobile guard , to occupy the coast and oppose the disembarkation of the royal troops , as well as for the Bervice of the provinces . It ap . pears , therefore , that open war ia declared between tte Calabrian provinces and the government . A provisional government was also established at Poterzn , ia the Basciliost . An insurgent movetnont was manifested at Bari . It was said that the growth of communism in the provinces had alarmed many oi the proprietors , and induced them to join the royal party . Other letters announce , that Terramo waa in full insurrection .

Letters from Prague of the 12 th , and from Dresden of the 14 th , in the CoLflQNB G ^ zbttk , state that an insurrection broke eut in the former town on the 12 th iBBt ., in consequence of Princo Windischgratz refusing to give cannon and ammu » iition to the students . 3 &e Czechish population of Prague sided with thdfatter .

      The day is not far distant when , i 'thrsB wbo rule over us'do nit learn to be wise , the above Iinea will hd applicable to t > ie no * proud , and grand , and imperial capital of England ! Though the corrupt newspaper preps of London are ebiuting for joy at tha Chartist failures' of laat Monday , it is plain , to the dullest intellect that the empire of British misrule is crumbling quickly to ruin , and that no power of this world can preserve that state or kingdurrj , for whose overthrow her ov .-n children are organised nud concentrated . It needs not the git of the prophet to foretell the quickly approachine destruction of tyrarin ; and injustice But the Cbar * tists were defeated on the 12 th of June , an thi ? y were before on the lOfh cf April ! Ob , no ! they were

      not defeated . They are triumphant , instead ot being beaten . They did what was ri ght to avoid a premature collision witb their enemies . They acted wisely not to spend iheir energies in street rioting , or tquabbles with pnlicemtn or ' specials , 'by which nothing advantagetm was Io be won , no end to ba obtained—no purposoiffdoted—atd in which bl&odthirsty men might amuse themselves breaking heads , and law-loving men secure victims for the gaol and the convict depot . Tbe Chartists are actin ? . bravely . They are just as we , over here , wish thera to be—determined to effect their purpose by hook or crook , but declining to come to a premature and ill-judged struggle , until they will be sure of success . Thia is the plan of the Irish Confederation . Their enemies

      wish to provoke them into violence , knowing that they are not yet sufficiently organised for on effective outbreak j but we are too vtt , ry to play their game , or put ourselves in their power . The famine and the fever curry away our peasantry every hour , but we have no notion that the sword or shot of English murdereFS shall be brought against us . It is so , it appears , with the Chartist body . ' And w& r cjoioe to find it so . We had great fears they would betray themselves . We dreaded a premature and badly-planned mdee . That would ruin tha cause of the oppressed English people , and it would be a heavy blow against tha hopes of Ireland , too-Let the Chartists go on thus . Let them—whilst steadily moving forward , and every hour gaining : gteat confidence and strength—let them , I say , b » prudent and watchful . Let them organise . Let them stir the cauldron of Fdlition , or ' felony , ' or treason , cr whatever thin-skinned folk may pteDsB

      to term it . Let them keep the fire bk zing mtrrily under it , and let them fling into it every ingredient which raay add to its piquancy and excellence ; bnt , by no means , let them allow it to ' boil or bubble over until the cooking process is effectually completed , and every man , who is willing , ready to Bbare is the feast ! This is the way to work , Tho ' press * gang ' and their driverH aro cock-erowing wish joy No ; but they are ready to cut their throats with vexation ! The Chartists cowtd on last Monday Pshaw ! The Chartists can afford to laugh at them . The victory was theirs . They frightened the guts in all the old women , and cowards and cheats of London , and then they kept tuetmelyts from tho sabres and artillery oitbtss who would suppress tho cry of the hungry , and smother righ ' and justioam plebeian blood . Honour to the brave , and wise , and active men , who foiled the villains . Let them stick to thia . Ltt them organise . ' Organise , organise ^ orcanise . '

      The people of Irchtd are rejoiced at the issue of the preparations for last Monday , in London . Ws were anxious lest you should ruin yourselves and tout cause by rashness , acd precipitancy . We deprecate every species of street rioting—aimless squabblesor , as Wellington would term them , ' little ware . * These can do no good , and will do harm . They gratify the enemy , and they weaken , and discourage , and disgrace ourselves . ISO good general would voluntarily engage in a struggle in which everything was against hira—nothing ia hia favour . It is worse than toolibh for a multitude of unarmed men to rush themselves ihlo the jaws of a ferocious , and armed , and drilled soldiery , or poliee force . The Irish Confederates will never do it ; snd in this , as in other

      particulars , we are glad to 2 nd ourselves imitated by uur struggling English brethren . Our common foe , thtn , need not plume himself on last Monday's victory . It waa no victory . It was a signal defeat for him , and he know 3 that too . Tho atorra ia brewing : he hears it . The clouds aro thickening : he aces ivthem . The atmosphere gets blacker and blacker : he marks it . Will he profit by the exercise of his senses ? VV ill he pau -e in his career of wickedness , ere yet it i » tio late ? Wil he thow symptoms Of repentance , before the day of grace will bo gono for ever ? I think not ; but we shall bo ; a eea . In Ireland we lose not a moment , The irumpetnotea of preparation may ba fewer and feebler , but the sapp ers and mimrs of revelation are busily at

      work . The bu ( sin 68 < i goes on—ay , and is thriving too , you may believe tne .
