      FRANCE . The Forthcoming Elections . —The Democratic and Socialist Committee for conducting the elections in tke department of the Seine has published the following , as the declaiation demanded by it from the candidates on tbat side : — ' Every citizen , whose candidateship for the national representation is presented to the Democratic and Socialist Committee of the elections of the department of the Seine , declares in the face of the people , bj the simple fact ef becoming a candidate that he adheres , without restriction or reserve of any landto the six following propositions : —1 . The

      , Republic is above the rig ht of majorities . 2 . If the constitution be violated , the representatives of the people Must give the people the example of resistance . 3 . Nation * are mutaally bound together like men . The employment of the forces of France agamat the liberty of nations is a crime-a Ration of the constitution ; France owes assistance to the nationalities which combat tyranny ; she can now accord it immediately . 4 . The Droit au Trmotin fS ^ t ofW" ; » * *• *?? » *»• .. *» severest of tyrannies is that of capital . The national re presentation can and ought to pursue the abolition of that tyranny . 5 . In a free nation education

      onght to be gratuitous , common , equal , and obligatory for all . 6 . The restitution of the milliard of the emigres is a measure just , useful , possible . The candidate declares , besides , to subscribe without restriction or reserve of any kind , to the two follow , ing ensaeements : —1 . He publicly , and in advance , Tindeitakes to tesist from « vy csradidateship in the department of the Seine , in case he shall not be inscribed in the list of candidates proposed to tbe people hy the committee . 2 . If the candidate obtain a donble election to the National Assembly , he con « sents tbat his right of option shall be exercised in his stead and place by the committee . '

      The * Times' correspondent , writing on Saturday , 8 ays : — « The Socialists would not appear to be discouraged by the partial dispersion of their most noted leaders ; nor have they desisted from their attempts to seduce the army . A meeting of the delegates from the garrison " of Paris is announced for this evening at the Socialist Hall , in the Rue Mattel , to decide upon tbe names of two non-commissioned officers to be proposed as candidates for the

      representation of the department of the Seine in tbe Leghlativa Assembl y- It is said that the Socialise have succeeded in effecting a fusion with the troops . The terms agreed on are , it is reported , that the Socialists will support the return of two non-commissioned officers ; while tbe soldiers , on their side , have agreed , to the number of 6 , 000 , to vote for the Socialist candidates . Some officers are said to have been arrested this morning on a charge of having taken an active part in these proceedings . '

      Monday ' s ' Times' contained the following : — 'A number of persons assembled at seven o ' clock in the evening of Saturday in the Rue Mart el , and the streets adjacent , to witness the procession of the military delegates to the Socialist Hall to nominate two non-commissioned officers as candidates for the representation of Paris to tbe Legislative Assembly . About forty soldiers presented themselves , but en having been informed by some police agents in attendance that they ought not to attend such a meeting , they withdrew . The Socialists dispersed , expressing their disappointment , and assembled subsequently at tbe Porte St . Denis , where they declaimed in violent terms against the tvranny to which the troops are subjected . A few sergens de viUe , bowever , dispersed them , and public tranquillity was not further disturbed . '

      More Persecution . —Doctor Bonnard was convicted before the Paris Court of Assize , on Friday , of having delivered a seditious speech at a Socialist Clnb , held at Montmartre . He wa 3 sentenced to imprisonment for a year , and to pay a fine of 500 fr . M . Vasbenter , tbe former responsible publisher of * Le Peuple , ' who has been in concealment since his sentence of fine and imprisonment , has been traced and taken into custody . Duchene , his successor , on whom a similar sentence was the other day pronounced , is still in coacealraent . M . Eugene Raspaii , a representative of the people , was sentenced by default on Friday , by the Court of Correctional Police , to two years * imprisonment and 1 . 000 fraucs fine , for striking Lis colleague , M . Point .

      The Court of Cassation declared , on the same day , tbe law of the 16 th August , 1790 , applicable to electoral meetings , and consequently sanctioned the right of the government to appoint ageuts to watch over their proceedings . The Democratic and Socialist journals have appointed a committee to raise subscriptions , to enable them to defend themselves against the persecution of tbe government . A secret society , called tbe Friends of Equality , has been discovered in the Rue de la Banque . Twenty-one of tbe members have been arrested and committed to prison . A quantity of balls and cartrid ges were found in their place of meeting . Amongst the persons arrested are several of the insurgents ol June who had been transported and subsequently set at lioeriy .

      The statement made by some of the journals of M . Brisbane , the American Socialist , having refused to obey the order given to him by tbe government to leave France , appears to have been unfounded . The' Democratique Pacifique' states that he has embarked . The same journal states tbat M . Golovine , a Russian , whose name has been frequently before tbe public bas received an order to quit Paris within twenty-four hours . M . Golovine , a Russian refugee , long resident in Paris , has been ordered to quit France by the government . He bas been long resident in Paris , and was never interfered with by the government of Louis Philippe . M . Golovine is well known and esteemed in Paris , and his removal b y the Republican

      government excite the greatest surprise . It appears that a great number of other refugees , who have been allowed to remain in France under Louis Philippe , have received notice that they cannot be allowed any longer to pollute tbe territory of the free and enlightened Republic—horning Chronicle . An operative tailor , named Hailbey , who founded a journal called the'Sans Culottes , ' was tried before tbe Court of Assize of the Seine , on Monday , for having delivered a seditious speech at a club on the 14 th of December last . Af . Hailbey , in his defence , denied tbat he was a Socialist ; his opinions , he said , were far more advanced . He was a Montagnard of the school of 1793 . He was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for eighteen months , and to pay a fine of 500 f .

      An electoral meeting , held at the Socialist Hall , in the Rue Martel , wa 3 dispersed by the police on Monday night . A battalion of troops of the line , in marching order and with fixed bayonets , was at band to enforce obedience in case of resistance . The' Ptuple ' and the ' Vraie Republique' were seized on Monday , at the Post-office , for articles on the forthcoming elections . Several arrests were made in Paris on Tuesday , in consequence of information received by the 3 overnment of the existence of a secret society , established for tbe seduction of tbe non-commissioned officers of the garrison .

      Afraid of the Army ' . —The 'National' announces tbat tbe 9 th Regiment of Light infantry and tbe 52 nd Regiment of the Line , were ordered to quit Paris on Sunday at few hours' notice in consequence of their well-known Republican principles . The Infamous Intervention to Restore the Pope . —M . Frapolli , tbe envoy extraordinary of the Roman Republic to the President of the French Republic , has presented a protest to the government against tbe expedition to Civita Vecchia . He declares that the government which he represented was willing to accept the mediation of France between it and the Pope , and that its anxiety todo so was made known to the French

      government , in a note addressed to it by his predecessor , as well as verbally by himself , in an interview which he had with the Minister of Foreign Affairs , on Tuesday last . He states that the only answer which he got was , « that France could not negotiate with what did not exist ; that Rome , as far as France was concerned , w ^ s the Pope ; that France interposed . in order to prevent too violent a reaction , and in order tbat the principle of secularisation might be applied as largely as possible in the admimstration of the State . ' After such an answer , M . Frepolh declares that , ' as the envoy of a eoverndenned to death , it only remains for him to protest against the eventual violation , without any EuT ' - «« territory of the Republic which it is his mission to represent . '

      Paris , Monday—The fleet , with the first division of the expeditionary army , 7 , 000 strong , sailed from Toulon on Sunday . It was prevented by contrary winds from sailing the day before . 5 000 more troops will Mow . The troops will instantly land at Cmta . '

      A telegraphic despatch received by the French Government on Monday evening , announces that the entire expeditionary fleet sailed fr <"" theI ™ of tbe Hyeres , at seven o ' clock on Sunday evening , with a smooth sea and light winds . Mabch of Troops towards *«^ £ -J ° J si&tAVs&r **?* STsstt'SM ^ S S further dissatisfied at the exp lanations offered SyJhe Austrian Minuter in Paris , have considered it expedient to order Marshall Bugeaud to concentrate the forces under his command , and to march towards tbe frontiers of Piedmont .

      The Press . —' The National Assembly , commenced on Friday the discussion of . the . bill relative to the press , of which the Ministry had demanded the continuance in force until the 1 st of August next . The committee to which the bill had been referred acceded to the demand , but reduced by one-half the cautionnement , or security in money , required from editors of journals , and suppressed it altogether for those published within the forty-five days preceding the elections to the National Assent bly . On the first article of the bill Messrs . Ledru Rollin and Felix Py « t moved an amendment , to the effect of abolishing the security altogether after the

      1 st of May . M . Leon Faucber , Minister of the Interior , opposed both tbe project of the committee and the amendment . The amendment was rejected by 423 to 226 . The President next read the first article of the bill , amended by the committee , wbica reduced tbe cautionnement by one half , when M . Leon Faucber rose and declared that the government considered it was dangerous as the amendment moved by M . Ledru Rollin , and could not consequently concur in it . A division was then called for , which gave for the article 291 , against it 352 It was accordingly rejected , and the article of the Ministerial project , demanding that the provisions of the decree of the 9 th of August , 1848 , remain in

      force until the 1 st of August next , adopted by a considerable majority . The 2 nd article , added by the committee ; and dispensing with a cautionnement every new journal published within tbe forty-five days preceding tbe elections , was next put to the vote , and rejected by 381 to 261 . The third article , also added by the committee , and permitting the circulation , distribution , and sale of all journals and publications relative to the elections without any municipal authorisation , was likewise combated by M . Leon Faucber . M . Dupont de Bussac declared the measure the more indispensable as the Minister of the Interior had lately issued a circular on the subject . to the Prefects , containing directions

      destructive of the . liberty . of the _ press . He would merely cite the instructions given in consequence to the Mayors by the Prefect of Versailles , who classed among the dangerous publications of which they were to prevent the circulation , twa of the oldest journals of Paris , tbe ' Democratic Pacifique' and ' Reforme . ' M . Leon Faucber explained ; after which M . Chavoix rose , and denounced , the danger of arming the municipal authorities vtitb such , an arbitrary power . He then asked tbe Minister of War if it was true tbat reactionary journals were distributed with his permiasion in the military

      barracks . The Minister not thinking proper to reply , M . Charras rose and declared tbat several colonels of the garrison had informed him that five journals were regularly forwarded to officers of their regiments for distribution among the soldiers , If such was the case , he demanded that the barracks be either closed or open to journals of all political parties . M . Leon Faucher replied that if any journals were distributed in the barracks , it was without the knowledge or consent of the Cabinet . Finally , tbe Assembly voted in favour of the government , and against the freedom of the Press .

      Another ' Scene' in the Assembly . — On Saturday a very violent scene took place in the Assembly . —M . Goudebaux rose to exculpate himself from the charge , frequently brought against him out of doors , of having counselled the Provisional Government to suspend the payments of the Treasury , and to declare a national bankruptcy . He declared that there was no truth in the report , but that it was true tbat he had been advised to do so by an important personage , now a member of the Assembly . M . . Ledru-Rollin called upon M . Goudcbiux to give the name , and said that he had also bad a similar accusation brought against him by a newspaper , of which tbe proprietor was the very

      person who gave the advice . The person in question was a great banker in Paris , namely , M . Delatnarre . M . Goudebaux then stated , that as it was no Cabinet secret , he had no hesitation in saying that the person who gave him the advice was M . Achille Fould . —M . Fould , thus called on mounted the tribune , and endeavoured to explain the sense ol his councils to M . Goudchaux , M . Ledru Rollin interrupted him to call upon M . Fould to say whether or not he had proposed a declaration of bankruptcy . M . Fould declared that he had not , whereupon M . Goudebaux rose and declared that

      he had . This flat contradiction caused a lively sensation . M . Fould entered into a rambling statement ta show that M . Goudchaux ' s memory played him false . The latter gentleman quoted documents and called upon witnesses amongst his colleagues to prove tbat bis contradiction was based upon the truth . The agitation in tbe Assembly bad now reached a climax . M . Fould appeared confused , receiving the coup de grace from MM . Marrast and Cremieux , who both corroborated the statements of M . Goudchaux . M . Fould reiterated his assertions , and tbe matter then dropped for the present .

      ITALY . HORRORS OF THE « HOLY' INQUISITION VNVEItED . The correspondent of tbe ' Daily News , ' writing from Rome , March 31 st , says : — 1 visited this morning the works going on in the subterranean vaults of the holy office , and was not a little horrified at what I saw with my own eyes , and held in my own bands . Though I have been familiar with everything in and about Rome for a quarter of a century , I confess I never had any curiosity to visit tbe Inquisition , taking it for granted that everything was carried on there fairly and honestly , as I was led to believe by people worth y in other respects of implicit trust . Besides , the place itself

      it out of the beaten track of all strangers , and in a sort of cul de sac behind St . Peter ' s , where it naturally retired to perform its blushing operations , and ' do good by stealth . ' I was struck with the outward appearance of civilisation and comfort displayed by the building , which owes its erection to Pius V ., author of the last creed ; but , on entering , the real character of the concern was no longer dissimulated . A range of strongly-barred prisons formed tbe ground-floor of a quadrangular court and these dark and damp receptacles I found were only the preliminary stage of probation , intended for newcomers as yet uninitiated into the Eleusinian mysteries of the establishment . Entering a passage

      to the left , you arrived at a smaller courtyard , where a triple row of small barred dungeons rises from the soil upwards , somewhat after the outward look of a three-decker , ' accommodating' about sixty prisoners . These barred cages have been fully manned , for there is a supplementary row constructed at the back of the quadrangle on the groundfloor , which faces a large garden . AH these cellular contrivances have strong iron rings let into the mascnary , and in some there is a large stone firmly imbeded in the centre , with a similar massive ring . Numerous inscri ptions , dated centuries back , are dimly legible on the admission of light , the general tenor being assertion of innocence'Iddio ci liberi di lingua calumniatrice ''

      lodomenico Gazzoli vissi qui anni 18 , ' ' Calumniaiores mendacesextermitwbuntur . ' I read another somewhat longer , the drift of which is , ' The caprice or wickedness of man can't exclude me from thy church , O Christ , my only hope . ' The officer in charge led me down to where the men were dig . ging in the vaults below ; they had cleared a downward flight of step 3 , which was choked up with old rubbish , and had come to a series of dungeons under the vaults deeper still , and which immediately brought to my mind tbe prisons of the Doge under the bridge of Signs at Venice , only here that there was surpassing horror . I saw embedded in old masonary , unsymmetrically arranged , five skeletons in various recesses , and the clearance had only just begun ; the period of their insertion in this

      spot must have been more tban a century and a half . From another vault , full of skulls and scattered human remains , there was a shaft about four feet square ascending perpendicularly to the first floor of the building , and ending in a passage off the ball of the chancery , where a trap-door lay between tbe tribunal and the way into a suite of rooms destined for one of the officials . The object of this shaft could admit of but one surmise . The ground of the vault was made up of decayed animal matter , a lump of which held imbedded in it a long silken lock of hair , as I found by personal examination as it was shovelled up from below . Why or wherefore , with a large space of vacant ground lying outside

      the structure , this charnel house should be so contrived under the dwelling , passes my ken . But that is not all , there are two large subterranean limekilns if I may so call them , shaped like a beehive in masonry , filled with large calcined bones , forming the substratum of two other chambers on the ground floor in the immediate vicinity of the very mysterious shaft above mentioned . I know not what interest you may attach to what looks like a chapter from Mrs . RadcljfF , but had I not the evidence of my own senses *! would never have

      dreamt of such appearances in a prison of the holy office ; being thoroughly sick of the nonsense that has for years been put forth on that topic by partisan pens . But here the thing will become serious , for to-morrow , the whole population of Rome is publicly invited by the authorities to come and see , with own eyes , one of the results of entrusting power to clerical hands . Libels on the clergy have been manifold during the last four months , and have done their work among the masses . But mere talk is nothing to the actual view of realities .

      Segnius irritant ammos demissa peraures Quam quse sunt oculis subjecta fidelibus . The archives ( wanting the very recent ones only ) have been overhauled , and a selection will be forthwith published . The cases are of the most intense interest , reaching from Galileo ' s time down to modern days ; and here most disgraceful letters from the Sardinian and Neapolitan courts , including a choice correspondence from the Duke of Modena , will be given verbatim , in extenso . Latterly the concern had become almost exclusivel y political , and only busied itself with 'carbonari' and ¦ freemasons , ' under which terms every aspirant after a constitutional form of government was thought fair game , and hunted out secundem artem .

      It is quite possible that the Croats of Radetaky may force back on tbe population . of these territories clerical rulers again ; but no friend of tbe Roman Catholic church , acquainted with the present sentiments of tbe Romans , can view such an event without deep alarm . The following interesting letter is also from the pen of the correspondent of the' Daily News . ' Rome , April 14 . —There is no symptom of despondency visible here . Strong in the . common sense

      of their cause the Romans see ho reason to give up as lost tbe establishment of a secular government for the management of their temporal concerns , and there is not the slightest manifestation of a reaction in favour of clerical rule . Tuscany had no real grounds for revolution , and hence tbe facility with which the Grand Duke ' s authority has been restored . The case is altogether different here , and it will be tough work for whatever power undertakes to replace gownsmen and Monseignmrs in supreme predominance .

      Should Antonelli , Lambruschini , or any of the buBybodies who have muffled the well-meaning Pope and alienated his people from him , show in Rome , their lives would not be worth a week ' s purchase . This is a sad state of social feeling , but it is the plain truth . As to Bernetti , who is one of the same clique , there has been lately published among the documents found in the archives of the inquisition a letter of his in tbe character of Secretary of State , dated , July 15 , 1828 , in which be tells the father inquisitor that from intelligence diplomatically obtained , certain individuals being suspected of liberalism , and in these investigations it being preferable to employ the holy office of the tribunal

      rather than that of the police , the undersigned cardinal begs your reverence to occupy yourself therewith and to communicate to the cardinal the result of tbe researches which your reverence so well knows how to institute , tbat we may proceed in concert to the adoption of a timely remedy . Such was tbe Star chamber tbat carried on its operations during the whole reign of Gregory . By the way , among tbe inscriptions on the dungeon-walls , of which a large collection has been made , there occurs but one in the English language , but it is pithy

      enough , and sufficient to excite curiosity as to the unfortunate John Bull , who got into the clutches of this holy establishment some hundred years ago . ' Is this the Christian faith ?' was all his commentary . At Gaeta all is at sixes and sevens . The Pope has quarrelled with hi 3 cousin , Cardinal Gabriel Ferretti , and taken from him the post of Secretary of Memorials , which he has given to Cardinal Altieri , who is very unwell . Antonelli lets no one to see the Pope , and , to all appearance , keeps him under lock and key .

      It is a sad farce to talk of giving the Pope a throne and sceptre , for the purpose of securing the free and independent action of bis spiritual authority , when , by the very fact , he is made a mere puppet of Austria . His true independence would be found in the heart of a republic * guaranteed by European acknowledgment . FLORENCE . —We have still very meagre ac counts of the counter-revolution noticed in our last , The ' Piedmontese Gazette ' of the 16 th inst ., publishes the following , dated' Florence , the 13 th : —

      ' The members of the municipality , preceded by a military band , and followed by tbe National Guard and an immense crowd , proceeded yesterday , with the five citizens they had appointed to assist them , to the Old Palace , of which they took possession , as also ef all the public administrations and proclaimed amidst the deafening acclamations of the multitude assembled on the square of tbe Grand Duke , the restoration of Constitutional Monarchy , and the immediate recall of tbe Sovereign . The municipality labours to re-establish order on solid bases . k \\ the

      individuals who had been confined in the voltena or in tbe galleys , and placed by Guerazzi in the Municipal or Public Safety Guard , have been turned out of tbat corps . It is said that Marraocchi has been arrested with Guerazzi , and that Mardini has escaped , dressed as a Roman National Guard . Tbe population of tbe country , round Lucca , has risen in favour of the Grand Duke . ' Another letter from Florence of tbe same date states : — ' The brave National Guard , supported by a great number of the country inhabitants , summoned to arms by the tocsin , was sufficiently strong

      to effect a reaction in favour of order and the government of the Grand Duke . The provocation ol tbe Livornese produced the spark , which kindled the fire . Guerazzi is now a prisoner in the fortress of Belvedere . The soldiers who guard him were obliged to swear tbat they would die rather than allow him to escape . The Constituent Assembly , which had declared itself permanent , is dissolved . It attempted a moment to resist the decree issued against it by the municipality , but the majority , dreading the popular fury , having withdrawn , the minority was compelled to yield . '

      The new Tuscan Ministry was composed as follows : — ' M . M . Tometi , Minister for Foreign Affairs : Martini , Minister of Finances ; Tabarrini , of Public Instruction ; Allegietti , of Interior ; Duchiquez , of Justice ; and BeH ' noraini , of War . The accounts which we have received from Leghorn describe the agitation there as excessive . Active preparations were in the course of being made by the Republican party , to resist ; if possible , the reinstatement of the government of the Grand Duke . The citizens , in fact , are in a state of complete insurrection . Barricades had been erected in several of the streets , and it is feared that it will require a formal siege to reduce Leghorn , as was recently the case with Genoa .

      By tbe Marseilles journals of the 20 th , we have advices from Leghorn to the 15 th . The manifestation at Florence , of the 14 lb , When the Livornese volunteers were driven from that city , has excited a strong feeling at Leghorn , and a determination was , expreaaed to avenge the affront . On the 15 th tbe . gates of the city were shut , and the municipality had ordered all the citizens to arm themselves for defence against tbe Florentines . MILAN ;—More Murder . —The Milan Gazette * of the 16 th inst ., states that Andre Brenta , a married man and father of nine children } Villore de Saltno , an unmarried man ; and Andre Adresti , an unmarried man—all natives of the province of Como , accused of having taken part in the insurrection of the Val d'Intelvi , have been tried by court-martial , sentenced to death , and shot at Como .

      THE WAR IN SICILY A private letter from Palermo of tbe 9 th Bays : The 3 , 000 regular troops that were at Palermo have been directed on several points without the city , the city itself being confided to the National Guard . It is not supposed that Filangieri can be before Palermo until the 20 th or 25 th of April . Independently of the 15 , 000 men he has under his orders , there is a reserveof 7 , 000 men at Reggio , and a reinforcement of 12 , 000 would be sent to Sicily in case of need . After the surrender of Catania , Mieroslawski retired to the mountains , and no news has since been received of him , 'The Saggiatore' of Turin of the 16 th states that Catania , which had been taken by the Neanolitans has been retaken b y the Sicilians ; hSTS however , give any date of this intelli . '

      PRUSSIA .- Berlin , April 21 st .-The Second Chamber has accepted , by a majority of 175 against 159 the Frankfort Constitution , and repudiates all modes ot altering it excep t that which is laid down in one of its own articles . The . ministers have therefore suffered a complete defeat upon the most vital q UeSti 0 D * THE WAR-IN HUNGARY . The details of the late battle at Waitz-m , as given by the German papers , are ts the effect that Prince Windischgratz , at the head of his best regiments , opposed the progress of tbe Hungarian * in the direction of Comoro , and that he was backed by the corps of Gotz and Jobtonowski . A fierce engagement ensued , in which the superior tactics of the Magyars proved irresistible . General Gotz and many of his officers fell while fighting in the streets of the city of Waitzen . The imperial troops were

      driven back and partly routed . . The siege of Coraorn has beea stopped in consequence , » nd part of the imperial army besieging that fortress bas marched to Waitzen to * the rescue of General Ramberg , who still attempts to stop the progress of tbe Magyars from Waitzen to Comoro . " The garrison of that fortress has meanwhile made a sally upon the remaining Austrians , and carried off part of their heavy artillery . The country surrounding Comorn is still in tbe bands of the Magyars , and Comorn is but twenty leagues distant frem Vienna .

      The news of the death of the Austrian General Gotz is confirmed . He was hit by a bullet , in the streets of Waitzen , and died at the age of almost seventy years . According to later accounts Waitzen has been reoccupied by the Austrians . It is now evident tbat tbe Russians , since tbeir late expulsion from Transylvania , have again endeavoured to enter that province by the defiles of Rothenthurm . They were again repulsed by tbe Hungarians , who drove them sixteen miles into the interior of the principality . FuRTHEn Success of the Hungarians . —The

      news from Hungary continues ( says the ' Cologne Gazette' ) to be unfavourable to the Austrian army . The remains of the corps formerly under the orders of General Gojtz , and which , with another detachment , both commanded by Jellaebich , defended Gran , was attacked by the Hungarian chief Repassy , who had crossed the Danube below Pesth . The Hungarians bad , after making a large portion of the staff of the Ban prisoners , occupied Gran . Dembinski had passed the Danube at tbe bead of an army numbering it is said 50 , 000 , and bad taken up a position before Buda , on the right bank of the

      river . Windischgratz , intrenched in the latter town , awaited the reinforcements which were arriving from all parts . Meantime , protected b y Dembinski , the Hungarian corps under the orders of Gorgey had marched upon Conwrn , and obliged the besieging army to retreat before superior numbers . Gorgey then pressed on , occupied Raab and Wieselburg , and marched upon Presburg , to prevent the arrival of the reinforcements expected by Windischgratz . In the Banat , General Bern had given eight days to the fortresses of Temeswar and Arad , in which to make their submission .

      DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . ENTRY OF THE SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN TROOPS INTO JUTLAND . A letter from Schleswig , dated the 21 st instant , says : — « The first detatchment of Schleswig-Holstein troops crossed the frontier of Jutland yesterday . Tomorrow I will be able to send you the particulars of this movement , so important for our cause , and perhaps for the peace of Europe . ' PACIFIC INTERFERENCE OF RUSSIA IN THE DANISH SCHLESWIG WAR .

      Intelligence was received on Monday at the Prussian embassy that the Emperor of Russia has sent a severe note to tbe King of Denmark blaming the Danes for recommencing the war , and strongly advising his royal brother to arrange the dispute and grant a constitution to Schleswig .

      SPAIN . Letters from Genoa ( Catalonia ) state that the Cabeeillas Plauadamunt and Romero bad been shot on the morning of the 11 th , at eight o ' clock . The intercessions of tbe wife of Romero to save bis life were fruitless .

      UNITED STATES AND CANADA . ( From the ' Daily News . ' ) New York , April 4 . —In my lastl wrote you in relation to the probable action of our government in case of any political disturbances in Canada , and that General Taylor would take care to prevent any breach of our friendly relations Kith England by acts of sympathy towards those who were found in arms against her . I have reason to know that the

      utmost faith will be kept on our part in this matter , and probably the moment is not far off when this good faith will be appealed to . It ia said that secret associations are now on foot in this country , not to help the French but the English , and that tbeir movements are upon a large scale . We hear that very extensive arrangements are going on at Boston to this end . And that arms and money are already on tbeir way to Canada . In this state of things we are naturally on the tiptoe of expectation .

      We have late news from California by way . of Mazatlan , our advices being to the 27 th of February . General Lane , the new governor , had arrived out in theSouthampton . The severity of the weather had prevented the working of the mines , but a crowd of people were getting ; ready to begin operations early in the spring . A new city called Bmecia bad been founded on the Sacramento , - thirty miles from San Francisco , and a large number , of houses was to be erected there as soon as possible . The Americans held a meeting on the 6 th January last to organise a

      provisional government , in default of any being provided for them by the last congress , and while they expressed tbeir confidence , as ' citizens of a great and glorious republic , ' in obtaining a proper territorial government at a future day , they resolved to govern themselves in their own way in the meantime . It was agreed that the several districts should hold elections for delegates to a convention , at which a political organisation should take place . A resolu tion was also passed that slavery should be opposed in every shape and form in the territory .

      We hear to-day of the breaking up of an overland party , with which Aubabon , a son of the celebrated naturalist was connected , while passing , up the Rio Grande . The cholera destroyed a laige number of the party , and they were then plundered of their gold , amounting to about 14 , 000 dols . The survivors returned to New Orleans quite dispirited .

      CANADA . On the 3 rd instant , the Governor had not yet sienified his assent to tbe Indemnity Bill . The Canadian press cpntinues to hold the language of excitement which we lately illustrated . The Toronto Patriot' says , that if the Governor re . serve his assent , and send the bill to England ; ' the Ministry must resign ; ' but 'if he should sanction it . and it become the law of the land , what then ?

      Why , to hazard a prophetic reply on so fearful a question , I should say , a Convention at Kingston . ' The ' Montreal Courier' backs up the spirit displayed at a monster meeting held there ' never to submit to pay rebels ; ' exclaiming— ' Let tbe Par liament pass the bill , ' let the Governor sanction it if he pleases ; but while there is axe and rifle on the frontier , and Saxon hands to wield them , these losses will not be paid . '

      The journals of the United States comment on these events , and on the tone of the Canadian press ; foreseeing < troubles' and a speedy raising of the Republican flag . The' Boston Herald' professes to have received disclosures concerning a contemplated revolution in and invasion of the Canadas b y Irish patriots , which bas been for some time past agitated , as well in the United States as in the nei ghbouring provinces of the British kingdom . It says that many of the officers of the volunteers , who served in the United States army in Mexico , are

      disciplining and arming a large body of men for this purpose . They are employed by a committee of a Canada Association . ' A large portion of the funds collected daring the Repeal agitations in this country , which , owing to the failure of the Irish in their contemplated insurrection , was never sent to Ire . land , is now in the hands of the committee , and together with contributions which are frequently made by those who first projected the . move , ment and those who have since joined it , constitute tbe means employed in carrying out this plan of operations .
