      FRANCE . The Lbgislativk Assembly . —The partiesbave declared against each other a war a Voulrance , of which the consequences cannot be foreseen . The majority ' naveassumed atone so high that they cannot well come down from it . They say that they will r . ot be led by the Red Republicans and Socialists , iad iuey now make almost rnsre noise than their ojijjoasnts are accused of . General Bugeaud , with resnarKahls tact , on Thursday , said , in the midst of ana of those uproarious scenes with which the Legislative Assembly has inaugurated its existence , ihat the majority should g ive the example of SK&rgtton i and the majority instantlr accepted the

      retnte . It may he remembered that M . Cauvin de Boarguet had been reinstated in the command of the Asses-. bly by M . Marrast when he had been dismissed prematurely by General Changarnier . As soon as the power of M . Marrast was over , General Cfaansarnier again dismissed M . Cauvin . Again Genefal Lebreton had been entrusted by the Constitaevt Assembly with thechief command of the forces protecting iheAssembly .. He has been superseded by the same individual , who ' resisted some lime since the orders of the President of the Constituent Assembly . It was upon these facts that in the chamber on Sunday , M . Ch&voix ascended the tribune to interrupt the verification of-powers , for a motion to

      order . General Lebreton succeeded M . Chavoix , and having confirmed the facts stated with regard to jjf . Ca'ivj . M , that he had thought fit to resign his eo&ffiand in consequence of the difficulties he had met = ri « h iu the exercise of his command . This determination be bad come to , he said , because he thought it right not to allow the dignity to be weakened in his hands , After this statement , M . Chamois ius ! -eil to the tribune , and , amidst the loud cries of tbc Right and counter cries from the Left , accused the ministry of protecting , by its responsi * bili ! y , the illegal acts of a soldier . M . Ledru Jlollin followed , but was met at the outset hy such determined inlenaptlon from the whole of the party of the Right , that he remained standing in the tribune ,

      witli bis arms crossed over his chest , waiting for a silence wliieb it soon became impossible to obtain . The Loft answered the cries of the Right by cries louder stiil . and Al . Kerairy , the President , put on Hi bat . : The sitting was consequently suspended , and I : was to have been desired that calm shouli follow rjflselion , but it was not so . AI . Ledru Rollin no soar . er commenced speaking , on the resumption of ihesialng , than M . Kerafry was observed to lean forrard and make some observations . These remavis were , it appears . an insult to M . Ledru Roliin . viho . turning round to the President , cried out that the tribune was nat free , and came down from it . The confusion then became worse confonnded , and each party cave free vent to its feelings ; four of the secretaries declared that they resigned .

      ¦ SI . Oaillon Barrot requested that M . Ledru Boilin would continue his speech . M . Keratry , at the instance of M . Pierre Lerous , retracted ihe words which had " offended M . Ledru Rollin , and this gentleman then expressed a hope that the secretaries would resume their functions . Again the parly of ihe right put in their veto , and one of the members cried out that tuey would no $ yield . It was then that Marshal Bugeaud came forward and said Ujat the greatest attribute of the majority was mo .-Ji ration ; he hoped that he should often during the session have to agree - with M . Ledru Rollin

      whom he thought quite right in proposing th , leks ' . atcment of the secretaries . This was imuiee diaJely granted , and tbe order of the day was vo > ed-Oa Friday the verification of powers continued to « escitc as much tumult as ever . Sergeant Kattier having protested against the elections of tne Cotes du Nord , led to a great noise , which i * as only stopped by a vota , which negatived the sending to the bureaux of tbe question of these elections . Sergeant Rattier , in protesting , said that he did so is tha name of the whole army ; upon which all the generals in the Assembly rose up to protest against lis representing tbe army .

      On Tuesday , the Assembly was the scene of another yioleit debate on tbe validity of the elections of ihe department of the Tmine . This is the department to which one of M . Faucfeei ' s telegraphic despatches was sent , countersigned by II . Freray , Ms ekif de cabinet , who himself was a candidate for that very department . M . Faucber defended the course he had pursued at considerable length amidst tiis execrations of the Afountain . In the course of his spssch he was interrupted by If . Lagrange , Vao tdd him that ths Constituent Assembly had declared that he ( Leon Faucher ) lied . On this a scene of indescribable contusion ensued , which even M . Unpia was scarcely able to suppress .

      JM . Cremieux rose to reply to M . Laos Faueher , but the Assembly , completely exhausted , rose almost unanimously , aud called out , ' To-morrow , tomorrow V Tii <* house then adjourned ia much disorder ! The New Ministbt . — Oa Saturday the Presideht of the Council ascended the tribune , and announced the formation of his new ministry as foiic-vrs : —Odillon Barrot , President of the Council and ilmis-er of Justice ; Dufaure , Minister of the Interior ; Da Tocqucvilla , Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Sulbieres , Minister of War ; De Falloux , Public Instruction ; Passy , Finance ; Tracy , Marine ; Lanjuiaais , Commerce ; Lacrosse , Public Work ? . Thus has a " ministry i . een formed by the coalition of MM . Odiilon Barrot . and Dufaure .

      On this ministry the ' National' observes : — ' It is a heterogeneous Cabinet , without consistence , wiihou ! value , without signification , without avenir , and incapable of making head against tbe difficult ties of the situation ; such i 3 the marvellous production of which M . Louis Buonaparte lias been bronchi to bed after fifteen days' labour . ' The first act of the new Cabinet is said to have been the despatch of peremptoiy orders to General Oudinot to enter Rome with the least possible de ay . ion gre rnalgre . TMs order is different from these hiti . cno sent to If aly , but it is supposed thai General Ouuinot will have as much difficulty iu executing it as the confused orders which preceded it .

      correct , tue Romans are determined to resist , and h&z she nvans of doing so for almost an indefinite pe ri od . Tiiey have not only 30 , 000 fighting men wiUiin the walls , with plenty of ammunition and previsions for several months ; but every street in the ci'y is barricaded to an extent that makes each street a fortress .

( From the' Times . ' )

      Berlin , May 30 . —The draught of the . Constitution of the Empire drawn up by the Plenipotentiaries of Prussia , Hanover , and Saxony , is published this evening . In the address to . the . several German Governments by "which it is preceded , the Prussian Cabinet states that Bavaria has taken part in the Conference in which the Constitution was framed , but reserves ths decisive , declaration of its acceptance . The Prussian . Government further states that the Powers who are parties to the Constitution have drawn it up that they may be enabled to meet the dangers by which Germany is threatened if it longer remains without federative constitution or union , and because the Frankfort , Assembly ceased to exist as a legal body when it completed its plan of a Constitution , which could not be

      accepted by the government without alteration ; all the after acts of that Chamber are therefore to be considered as exceeding its powers and without va lidity . What follows is a translation of the document iSself : —' The governments of Prussia , Saxony , and Hanover have therefore agreed , according to the 11 th Article of the Act of Confederation , to enter into a Hnion { bund ) , that has for itsobject the mutual protection of its members against external and internal foes . The conduct of . the general mea * sures that may be necessary for this end , they have given ever to Prussia . The government of - *¦¦ -. like all those which formed part of the German Confederation of 1815 , is required to join this Mnd called into existence by the danger of the moment , and is requested to notify its junction with it with the least possible delay .

      ' The above named governments would , however , but imperfectly discharge the mission imposed on them if they merely dwelt on the necessities which spring from the immediate present . They are impressed with the conviction that reason and duty alike require them to speak openly to the nation , as well as to their allies , on their position with regard to the question of the Constitution . They did uot recoguise the Constitution drawn up by the Frankfart Assembly , because it went beyond the true and wholesome requirements of a powerful federative state , and , in the form it received from the conflict and concessions of political parties , it did not contain those ' essential guarantees on which the legal and regular existence of every system of government reposes .

      ' But the united goveramenls have never for a moment forgotten that even for these reasons it b came their double duty to co-operate in framing a Constitution that has become an indispensable necessity for tbe whole of Germany . Such a Con * stitation will secure to the nation what it for a long period has been painfully deprived of , what it is justified in demanding of its governments—unity and strength in relation to foreign power ; and in its internal affairs , with the secured continuance of the existence of each member of the union , a common development of general interests and national

      necessities . It is the guarantees of just freedom and legal order which the German Constitution will have to grant to the governments and to the people . ' On the proposition of Prussia , therefore , a draught of an Imperial Constitution is laid before the several members of the Confederation of 1815 , in the hope that it will meet their assent . The German States which accept the present form of Constitution will be considered as members of the federate state described in article 1 ; while those states which do not find themselves called on to accept it will continue to possess those rights and dutif s unchanged created by the treaties of 1815 . '

      The Constitution is very lonpr , containing , witb the law of election , more than 190 paragraphs . An abstract of the most important articles is subjoined : — 1 The imperial house has the right of making peace and war , appoints the Ambassadors and Consuls of the Empire , conducts the diplomatic intercourse , and concludes treaties of navigation and commerce with foreign countries . The several German governm ents have given over their ri g ht to receive or appoint Ambassadors to the imperial power . The imperial government will consist of a President of the Empire and a Council of tbe Princes . The dignity of tbe Presidency of the Empire is united to the crown of Prussia .

      The council of Princes ( or States ) will contain six voles , of which Prussia and Bavaria has each one ; Wurterauerg , Baden , and the two Hohenzolkrns have one collectively ; one vote is allotted in the same manner to Saxony and the Saxon Duchies , Reuss , Anhalt , and Schwarzenburg ; one to Hanover , Brunswick , Oldenburgh , Mecklenburgb , Holstein and the Hanse-towns ; the remaining vote is given to the other small States—Kurhessen , Hesse Darmstadt , Nassau , Hesse Homburgh , Luxemburgh , Waldeck , Rippe-Detmold , Schaumberg-Lippe , and Frankfort . ' The President of tbe Empire will reside during the meeting of the Diet , at the seat of imperial government ( whether this will be Berlin or Frankfort is not known . )

      'The President of the Empire will exercise the powers entrusted to him through responsible Ministers . He will open and close the sessions of the Diet , and has the right to dissolve the House oi Representatives . The Council of Princes , under the Presidency of the Head of the Empire , or , if he should be hindered from discharging the duty , under the Presidency of Bavaria , has the right of proposing the draught of laws ; it will exercise the legislative power in common with the Diet under constitutional limitations . Tbe Council gives its decisions by the absolute , nujority of the plenipotentiaries present ; if the number is equally divided , the President gives the casting vote . '

      The section of the Constitution containing tbe Gnindreclile , or fundamental rghts of the German people , in many of its provisions follows that of the Frankfort Assembly . The following is an abstract of the law of election for the House of . Representatives : — 'Every independent German who ' has not been convicted of crime , and has attained his twentyfifth year , is an elector . Eligible as deputy to the ilouse of Representatives is everv German not

      convicted of crime who has attained his thirtieth year , and has been for three years citizen of a German siaie . Persons holding public officer do not require a special permission to enter as members into the House of Representatives , but have to defray the expenses which may arise by tbe employment of officers who are to discharge their duties in their absence . Electoral districts for every number of 100 , 000 souls , according to the latest official return of the number of the population , are . to be formed in every state .

      ' The form of election is indi recr . The primitive voters ( JJrwhaler ) choose the electors who name the deputies . 1 Whoever wishes to exercise the right of voting must , at the time the elections take place , be citizens in the electoral district , and have resided there for at least three years . He must also , if required , prove that he is not in arrear with payment of the State faxes . ' ,.. ' . ' ,. The section of the Constitution relating to tie Senate of the Empire is in substance , as follows : — ' The Imperial Diet consists of two houses , the Senate and the House of Representatives . ' The representatives of the different States are to form the Senare . ' . ' ¦ "

      ' The Senate is to consist of 167 members , ol which Prussia sends 40 , Bavaria 20 , Saxony 12 , Wurtemberg 12 , Baden . 10 , Curhessen 7 , Grand Duchy of Hessen 7 , Holstein 6 , Meckleuburg-Schwerin 4 , Luxemburg .

      PERFIDY . Berlin , May 31 . —The " publication of the federal constitution yesterday has been followed today by that of the new election law fonPrussia . It is preceded by a long ministerial ; statement of the reasons why it is promulgated , addressed to the King . It points out the deficiencies of the law of the 6 th of December , under which the last chamber was chosen : ths first point noticed is the want of a strict definition of the term ' independent' Prussian , ' which led to so much" controversy , remedied now by making tfce franchise conditional on a contribution to the direct taxation of the country , ' either state or communal : the vote too is no longer secret , but to be given openly ; the system of indirect election is preserved , the primitive voters choosing an electoral college . The voters aie divided into three classes ,

      each of which chooses a third of the number of tbe electors ; the most numerous will , of course , be those who pay the smallest amount of taxes , but they will vote for only a third of the electoral college ; thus the evil of having the influence of the educated classes overborne by the-weight of 69 . per cent , of the population , here , at least , unprepared for the exercise of a political function , will > it , ' hoped , be neutralised . The following is an abstract of the law itself : — ' We , Frederick William , &ci , King of Prussia , decree , in order to carry out the articles of the Constitution from 67 to 74 , and on the ground of article 105 and on the propositions of our ministry , that the following provisions are to be acted on , instead of those of the law of election for deputies of the second chamber , of the 6 th of December , ¦

      1818 . ; ' ' ' The deputies of the second chamber are chosen by electors in electoral districts ; the , electors are choseu by the primitive voters in special districts . ' The formation of the electoral districts is to take place according to the last official returns of the number of the population . One elector is to be chosen for every * 250 ; souls . 1 The electoral districts of the primitive voters are to be formed in such a manner , that the number of electors who are to be chosen in the same can be divided by three . .... . 'Every independent Prussian who has attained his 24 th year and is in full possession of all civil rights is a primitive voter in the commune in which he bes been a resident for six months , provided he does not receive support from public alms .

      • The military of ihe standing army , as well as of the Landwehr , have the right of voting in the garrisons , where they are stationed at the time of the elections , ¦ without regard to tbe length of time they have been there . The electoral districts of the military are to contain 750 men each . Those of the Landwehr , who have been called out , vote at , the p lace where they are stationed . ' The primitive electors are to be divided into three sections ,- according to the amount of direct taxes ( class-tax , land-tax , and becupation-tax ) , they pay to the state , and in such a manner that each section pajS one-third Of the whole amount of the taxes paid by all the primitive electors of the , district . . '' ¦ ¦ '• ¦ : ¦ ; -. ¦ ¦•'• ' ¦ ' ¦ ¦¦

      ' Where no class-taxes are levied , the . state-fax , which has been introduced by the law of the 4 th of April , 1848 , takes its place . ' . .. 'The first class of primitive voters consists of those who pay the highest , tax . , ' The second class consists of those who pay the tax which is the one lower than the fifst . And the- third class consists of those who pay the lowest tax . Every class chooses one-third of the number of electors . . 1 In the electoral assemblies no discussions can be held or resolutions passed . Votes given under protest or reserve are illegal .

      • Every Prussiau who has attainfd his 30 th year , and is in full possession of all civil rights , and who has been a citizen of Prussia for one year , is eligible as deputy .

      tity from the captive officers of the late gam » C . n of Buda . It appears torn these letters that these cap « t ured officers are treated with great kindness . General ' Hentze was buried with ell military honours . The Hungarians took about 60 , 000 florins in silver , which were kept at Buda . The garnso n of 22000 men and eighty officers was conveyed to Debrecen . Eighty-three pieces of artillery , 1 , 400 cwt . of gunpowder , 2 , 000 cwt . of saltpetre , and 14 , 000 muskets , fell into the hands of the Hungarians after the captureofBuda . , ..

      . p rounded the city with cannon , set fire to it at the four corners , and cut down all who attempted to make their escape . The ' Austrian Correspondent inserts , these reports without denying them . ; a battle ha \ taken place in the neighbourhood of Trentschin , to which place the extreme left wing of the Austrian army extended ; it lasted nine hours , and was very bloody . Field Marshal Lieut . Heynau , who had been summoned from Italy , commanded , and General Vogelwhohad advanced from Galicia through the pass of Dukla , hut ; who being then cut off had been forced back to Trenfsebin . Dannenbergis supposed to have commanded the Hun . garians . After the battle Vogel fell back from Trentschin and made for Tyrnau . From this circumstance , in particular , it is evident that the victory was not on the side of the Austrians . ;

      The Austrian army , probably in consequence of the fall of ; Ofen , has made at Presburg a retrograde movement . ' They evacuated Bos ( pronounced nearly like busli > \ on the island of Schutt , which was immediately occupied by the Hungarians . The main body of the Austrians was at Szedahely , that of the Hungarians in the little town of Megyer , a fesv leagues off . There was a sitting of the National Assembly at Debreczin on May 14 th . Paul Altnasy was the ;

      president , Ludwig Kossuth here took the following oath : — ' I , Ludwig Kossuth , elected Governor-President by the National Assembly , swear to maintain the nation ' s declaration of independence in all its consequences , andalso obedience to the laws and decrees of the National Assembly . "So " true God help me . ' Hereupon the President of the Assembly made an appropriate patriotic speech . After this the ministers severally swore fealty to the constitu * tion , and the Assembly adjourned . ; ;'

      Accounts from Southern Hungary state that the Hungarians occupy on the frontiers of the Danubian Principalities positions so strong that it is almost impossible for the Russians to enter inthat quarter . From the seat of war in the west the rumour which prevailed on tbe 31 st ult . of fl battle at Trentschin , has been confirmed . The Austrian troops engaged consisted of the corps of Vogel and the brigade of Benedek ; while the Hungarian forces ' were the advanced guard under General Dannenbere . The Austrians were put to flight , and were pursued down the Waag-thal by the Hungarian hussars , who made fearful havoc among the fugitives . A battle is also reported to have taken place at Raab . Bern has reached Owowa , arid issued a proelama tion to the Servians . The news , therefore , that thp Russians had reached Orsowa on ihe 14 ih is , as I

      surmised , untrue . The news is confirmed that a large part of the Russian troops in Wallachia and Moldavia bad retired across the Pruth . The Vienna press , not knowing what to make of this backward move of the great ally , ascribes it one while to a protest of the Porte , another to an energetic note hor n England o » France . Concerning the march of the Russians into Galicia , accounts from Flocznow , of the 29 lh ult . report that the last column of the Russians came in on that day . The whole corps consisted of 52 , 000 men , with 15 , 000 horses , and advanced towards ths Carpathians , on the road to Krostio .

      ITALY . THE SIEGE OF KOME . May 28 . —We are now awaiting with anxiety the result on the efforts which are still being made by the Triumvirate to bring about some arrangement or compromise with the French commissioner , who has not yet finally quitted Rome . If the Austrians should advance upon Rome from Bologna , as is expected here , we shall probably witness the forces of ihe French Republic operating in conjunction with those of that power , unless , indeed , which is perhaps

      not impossible , both of them should give tne matter upas a bad business . The French have now an army of 25 , 000 men here , with no end of Paixhan's eighty-pounder guns . They calculate , no doubt , upon making a breach in the old walls , which they think would give them a free passage . But I tell you that then the work would only commence , and that unless they can starve out the Romans , they must make up their minds to a hand-to-hand fight , and to contest every inch of ground , before they can obtain possession ol Home . .

      The following proclamation on the present crisis has been itsued by the Triumvirate : — ' People of the Republic!—The Austrian advances . Bologna has fallen—fallen after eight sublime days of battle and sacrifices—fallen as others triumph . Let its last cry be a cry of war aud vengeance for all of us ; let those who have an Italian heart receive it as a sacred legacy . Rome demands of you , citizens , a last effort ; and it is certain of obtaining it , because the blood of her children shed on the 30 th April makes it their right .

      ' By , adhesions to the gavernment and administrption committed to us when the days of danger commenced , you have given a noble and solemn testimony of concordant faith to Italy and < o Europe . We summon you to give another testimony—that of feats . Be ready , every man of you , to seal your faith with your own blood ! Arise , every city , every borough , every place , to avenge Bologna ! Let every bell sound the stroke of agony , the horror which the people denounces oa the foreign invasion . Kindle upon your mountains , from ridge to ridge , a symbol of fraternity in wrath , the fires

      which gave m December , 1847 , the signal of our revolution . Display the red banner everywhere on toners and steeples ! From farm to farm , from house to house , let thp . signal of battle run . Let the enemy , let Italy , let Europe know , thai here , in the heart of the Peninsula , three millions of men stand bound by the oath of a tremendous defence , irrevocably resolved to combat to extremities , and to bury themselves , rather than yield , under the ruins oi their country . And , thanks be to God , no human power will be able to snatch tbe victory from us Three millions of men are omnipotent when they sav—we will it . . '¦ . .

      Italians ! sons of Rome ! soldiers of the Republic , this is a solemn hour , prepared for ages ; one of those historical moments which decree the life or death of a people . Great and powerful for ever , or branded for ever with the mark of servitude ; acknowledged to be freemen and brothers by the nations , or condemned to the nullity of men who must be obedient to the caprices of others ; masters of yourselves , of your houses , of your altars , of your tombs , or the laughing-stock of every tyrant ; committed to an immortality of glory or of shame , you will be what ^ yourselves shall choose . The judgment of God and of the human race bangs upon your option .

      Be great . Resolve for victory . The people conquered victory amongst the Spaniards , the Greeks , the Svviss—let them conquer victory for Italy . Let the prefects , the extraordinary commissioners , organise the insurrection . Let them assemble from province to province . Let them draw inspiration from Rome . ' Let them assume , in extreme dangers , exceptional powers and extreme remedies . Let the director , who yields , who flees before having coinbatted , who capitulates , who wavers , be declared a criminal . Let the district which receives the enemy be politically cancelled from the territories of the republic . Let him who does not combat in one mode or another the foreign invader have all the infamy of his conduct . Let him who , were it but

      for an instant , sides with the invader , lose country and life for ever . Let him who abandons to the invader the materials of > ar be punished . Let him < vho does not assist in depriving them of food , lodgment , and rest be punished ; let him who , being able , does not quit the ground trodden by an enemy be punished . Let a circle of fire and a desert be drawn round the army that ; raises a banner that is not ours . Let the Republic , meek and generous heretofore , arise terrible ! in menace . ¦ . . ' -.

      i : . r . UNITED STATES . LrvERPOOl , Monday Night . —The North American mail steamer Hibernia , . Captain Stone , has arrived with advices from New York to the 22 nd , Boston to the 23 rd , ¦ and Halifax to the 25 th ult . At St . Louis , the great capital of the south , wesf , a * most disastrous fire on the 18 th ult . swept over the principal business portion of the city , extending for nearly a mile along the Mississippi , and consumed goods , warehouses , aud steamboats—twentyseven of the latter , several of them with cargoes on board—to the value , as estimated , of between four and five million dollars .

      The city of NeW Orleans , afrer being for SM » e time afflicted with cholera , which swept away many of its citizens , is now threatened with even a more fearful and irresistiblefoe in the overwhelming waters of the'MissUsippi . The cily lies uelow the high water level of this great river , and is guarded , as Holland is , from the inroad of the sea , by dykes , or levees , as they are called , along the Mississippi . A portion of one of

      those levees above the city having been carried away , the waters were passing rapidly through the opening , overcoming all efforts to stop the breach , inundating the plantations below , and actually pouring through soaie of the streets of tbe city . Our latest dates by mail are tbe 13 th ult ., when in many quarters the inhabitants were already driven by the invadiiig . waters to take refuge in the upper stories of their houses . Business , of course , must be materially checked by such a state of things .

      INDIA . The news from the Punjaub—till recently so important and exciting—has begun to grow scanty and of diminished interest . The ' Mofussili / e' announces , on the authority of a Ferozepore letter , that Shere Singh , on being sent for by Sir H . Lawrence , « made his escape . ' ' A party of horsemen , ' it is added , ' were tent in pursuit , but they returned without him . ' This story ,

      however , receives no csnfirmation from either tbe ' Delhi Gazette * or the ' Agra Messenger . ' From the native correspondence of the former paper , we gather that on tbc 7 th instant Rajah Shere Singh was present in Durbar , and was told that ' his treachery to the state , and to the British government , was so great that he deserved condign punishment , but that the promise to spare his life would be kept , and some small allowance made for bis support . '

      Bombay , May 1 . — This morning ' s post has brought us news of the escape ef her Highness Ranee Chunda , mother of Dhuleep Singh , ex-Maharajah of Lahore , from the fortress of Chunar . It is not long since a plot was discovered , or supposed to have been discovered , at Benares , for the rescue of the Ranee , who had been confined there since her removal from Shaikhoopra . At the s&me time one of her highness ' s slave-girls actually made an effort to gtt off , aud was intercepted in the attempt . Impressed with the importance of preventing the Ranee from recovering her liberty , Major M'Gregor determined on changing her place of residence , and accordignly set off wilh her to tbe fort of Chunar . She had been there—if there she ever was—but a very short time when the astounding tidings gained publicity that the bird had flown .
