Let any one take from three to four or six pills every twentyfour hours , and , instead of having weakened , they wul be found to have revived the animal spirits , and to have imparted a lusting strength to th » body .

      PRANCE . Death of Marshal Bbgkatjd . — P-mhs , StjsdaT- —The 'Times * correspondent writes : — « Alarshal Bugeaua expired this morning at half-past six o ' clock . The loss of such a man at this moment will be severely felt by the / riends of the government On receiving the melancholy news , the President of the Republic addressed to M . Ferry , son-in-law of the Marshal , a letter , expressing in the most lively terms the pain lie felt that such an affliction should have fallen on France at this moment . Madame Bugeaud , who had be eninformed by the telegraph of the dangerous condition in -which her

      husband vfas , arrived last night by the railroad from Marseilles , accompanied by her daughter , Madame Perry . General Bedeau met her at the station , and prepared them for the sad event . He accompanied them to the residence of General de Bar . At five o ' clock this meraing the Marshal felt Ms end approaching The Abbe Sibour at once made preparations to administer to him the last sacraments . A moment before his medical attendant , Dr . Chomel , approached and felt the regioa about the heart , when the Marshal said , in a firm and distinct voice , * I am a lost man . * Immediately after the most alarming symptoms appeared on his face , and the death agony commenced , but it was neither long nor intense . The Marshal breathed his last sigh in

      the msdst of many of his numerous friends , who surrounded his bed , and who in turn grasped his hand for the last time . M . M . Jeuty de Bu ? sy , A . Yigier . Generals Bedeau , de Bar , M . Troclier , the faithful Aide-de-Camp of the Marshal , Colonel Xheureux , and several other officers , witnessed the last moments of their Chief . General Cavaignae , the Minister at War , and Count Mole entered at the very moment he breathed his last , and they mingled thsir tears with those who had watched him throughout . The Archbishop of Paris arrived at lalf-past seven o ' clock , in the hope of seeiag him alive ; and at the same time , and with the same expectation , Generals Tartas and Jentil , and M . Boche . Coasul-GeneralatTangiers . Dr . Cruveilher was just in time to receive his last sigh .

      The Polish Chief Mieroslawski , who held a command amongst the Sicilian insurgents , has left Paris to organise the Republican insurrection in the Palatinate . The Bombardment of Some . —The news of the bombardment of Rome by the French forces created great excitement in Paris on Sunday last . The following communication appeared in the 'Kefonne * : — 'In the face of the despatch , which proves beyond all doubt the audacious violation of the Constitution , on the part of M . Louis Buonaparte and his Minister , and their disobedience to the resolution of the Constituent Assembly of the 7 th of May last , the Mountain has only to protest energetically . Lst the people remain calm ; they may rest assured that the Mountain will prove itself worthy of the confidence it is honoured with . Tbe Mountain

      • will perform its duty . * The following address from the Mountain to the * German Democracy' has been also published in the ssxas journal : — Brothers !

      The Italian * Question . —It is announced that the President of die'Republic , availing himself of the rig ht conferred on him by tbe 99 th article of the Constitution , has decreed , after consulting the Council of Ministers , that the examination of the acts ef M . Lesseps during his mission in Italy shall be referred to the Council of State , and that the report of that body shall be pablnbed . It was stated that M . Lesseps was about to bs-Coms a candidate for one of the seats left vacant in the representation of Paris by General Changarnier and M . Dsifaure , with the object of explaining , as a representative cf ihe people , his conduct as an EavoT .

      The Legislative Assemblt . —On Saturday a violent attack was made os the government by tbe Mountain for not having produced tbe despatches received froia General Oudinot . M . Dufaure , in the absence of tbe Minister-far Foreign Affairs , declared that they should be published in the afternoon . An attempt was made by M . Lagrange to have a vg-st sitting , but the proposition was rejected by a large majority .

      IMPORTANT DEBATE IX THE AS 3 EMBLT . Mkxdat , June 11 . —The order of the day was interpellations on foreign affairs . The Presides ! : I have to call on hon . gentlemen to preserve the deepest silence . The discussion is a most important one , and clamour or disorder can only take away from its dignity and gravity-( General marks of assent ) M . Ledzv-Rolus then ascended the tribune , and said that there were moments when a little

      period of time w ^ 3 immense importance . This T ? as exemplified in the present instance . A few days a ? o , interpellations would have been of the greatest siiuly , bui now they were useless , as everybody knew what had taken p lace at Rome . The French and Romans had been engaged in more than one most sanguinary combat , and both parties bad suffered most severely . The French troops had not H&de the slig htest impression , and at tbe end an armistice or suspension of arms bad been applied for nv General Oudinot .

      M . de TocauEviLLB , Minister of Foreign Affairs : "We have not received auy intelligence of ihe kind . M . Ledru-Roimn said that certain intelligence had arrived ofthefact , and hereadaletter dated from Rome , June 6 , declaring that the French troops had suffered dreadfully , and that some of the positions uRd been retaken by the Romans ; that the 43 rd aud 66 th regiments had , in particular , been remarkable for their loss . That the intelligence of a suspension of arms for twenty-four hours having been applied for by General Oudinot was confirmed , principally for the purpose of taking up the wounded soldiers left on the field of combat . ( Agitatios . ) The honourable gentleman then went on to say that all

      interpellations were useless , and that he did not intend to proceed with them . He blamed General Oudinot ' s conduct as infamous ; and after comment-Ins ; severely on the conduct of the government , concluded by declaring that there was only one way oi proceeding , aud that was to impeach the Ministers and the President of the Republic . In consequence , lie thereby handed in a demand for the impeachment of those functionaries . ( Great applause on the Left ; 'Oh , oh / on the Right ) . The hon . gentleman then left the tribune , and proceeded to his place , then turning round , said : As the case presses , I propose that the Assembly shall at once withdraw to the bureaux to examine the demand which I just presented . ( Agitation . )

      Odiixok Barkot replied in a speech full of his tnnal lies and subterfuges . He was loudly applauded by the infamous Right . ' M . Isdrv Bolus observed that it was a melancholy thing to see how public acts could be misre-

      presented . An examination of the several votes of tbe Assembly would show how much M . 0 . Barrot had mistaken the views of that body , and that the constitution had been violated by the government . Thus , wits respect to the ' struggle between Piedmont and Austria , the Assembly had passed an order of the day declaring that if Piedmont , in order , to ensure its independence ,-required it , it" would find the National Assembly ready to support it . Then camethebattle of Novara , but the government did nothing to carry out the order of-the day of the Assembly . Afterwards , on August 17 th , the govern--went proposed a bill demanding 1 , 200 , 000 b to send an expedition to Italy for the purpose of . enabling France to exercise her legitimate influence in that country . Tke reporter ( M . J . PaVre ) in his report declared that the intention of the National Assembly

      was not that France should interfere in the government of Rome , but should merely preserve her influence in the sight of the events which might occur in that country . Yet , in the face of such a declaration , the French had attacked Rome and had endeavoured to subvert 'her government—to destroy her nationality . That was altogether against Art . 5 of the constitution , which declared that' the French Republic would respect all nationalities . ' It was for such conduct that he and his friends now demanded an account from the Ministry . There were moments in life when discouragement seized on a man's mind on seeing acts so strangely performedso strangely accounted for . Yet this was one of them . Still the will of the Constituent Assembly was so clear that he did not despair that the Assembly and the country , would judge this matter as it deserved . In conclusion , he had to declare that it

      was false that the . Constituent Assembly had ever authorised the government to act as it had donefalse that it had sanctioned an attack on Rome , whan all that it desired was to see the troops remain in observation to prevent Austr ia from gaining too much ascendancy—false that the constitution was respected by the Ministry . There was a stain of blood on the forehead of tbe Ministry , and , said the hon . gentleman in termination , '" when the constitution is violated , I have to inform you that we are prepared to defend it by every means , even with arm 3 in our hands . '

      It is impossible to conceive the hurst of cheering that arose here from the Left . They all rose with the loudest acclamations and clapping of hands , and r epeated their applause over and over again . Man while on the Right arose loud cries of'Order , order , ' though at first scarcely heard amidst the cheering of the Left . M . O . Barrot ascended the tribune ; but the President intimating that be was about to speak , the hon . gentleman left the tribune . The President : There cannot be a more scanda . lous violation of all that is contained in the

      constitution than tbe present conduct of therepresentative who has just spoken . ( Loud uproar on the Left . ) What could be more illegal than for any member to announce in that Assembly that he and his party are prepared to have recourse to arms in place of deciding their matter of complaint by law . ( Renewed uproar , which prevented the honourable President from being heard . ) He repeated that this appeal to violence and disinclination to submit to the law was . most reprehensible , and it was his duty to object to such conduct . ( Loud applause on the Righr . ) .

      A 3 . Ledru Rollin ( from his place ) : I said , and I repeat it , that as Art . 110 of the constitution declares that the defence of the constitution is confided to tha care of every Frenchman , I say that if the constitution is violated I am prepared to defend it by arms . ( Immense cheering on the Left . ) General Bedeau expressed his surprise that any member of a minority should presume to speak of violence and arms , in place of submitting to tbe will of the majority . M . Thiers said , that after such an appeal to arms , further discussion would be beneath the dignity of the Assembly .

      After a few woids trom M . Arago , the Assembly decided that the discussion should go on . Ultimately the Assembly divided on the order of the day , pure et simple , when the numbers were—for ihe motion , 361 ; against it , 203 . Majority for Ministers , 15 S .

      IMMENSE EXCITEMENT IN PARIS . The Republican papers publish the following protest by the Montagnards against tbe French policy in Italy : — Declaration . —In face of the despatch which proves to evidence the audacious violation of the Constitution by M . Louis Buonaparte and bis Ministers , and their disobedience to tbe declaration of the Constituent Assembly , dated the 7 th of May last , the Mountain cannot but protest energetically . Let ibe people remain calm ; it may reckon that the Mountain will show itself worthy of the confidence with which it is honoured . It will do its duty . ( Signatures . )

      The Democratic Association of the Friends of tbe Constitutiou has also issued a protest against the attack upon Rome as a violation of the Constitution and of international law , and an abandonment of all ihe principles , of all the duties , and all the interests of France . A meeting ot the Fifth Legion of the National Guards of Paris is called for the purpose of protesting against ' the fratricidal war , ' and in the hope that a strong manifestation on the part of the people may have the effect of putting an end to ' that impious war in which brothers are cutting each other ' s throats , who ought to have been brought together by the French Republic under the same flag for the defence of European democracy . '

      M . Dufaure wrote a letter , s few days ago , to General de Lamoriciere , who is in the neighbourhood of Nantes , requesting him to return to Paris , to g ive his support to the government . General de Lareoriciere replied that it was his intention to remain for the present where he was ; that he could not give his support to the Ministry as at present constituted ; and that he was astonished to find that M . Dufaure had consented to join a Cabinet of which M . de Falloux was a member . Twenty taem . ber 3 of the Mountain have given notice of a motion , by which the 50 , 000 francs given to the President of the Republic for the expense of entertainments , &c , is to be suppressed .

      The members of the late Constituent Assembly still remaining in Paris have been requested to assemble on Tuesday in the Palais Nationale . Tuesday . —The members of the republican press and of the democrat socialist press publish the following in their organs this morning : — « We , editors of the republican press , and members of the Democrat Socalist Committee , tell the people to be ready to do their duty . The Mountain will do theirs to the last . We have their word . Five representatives have been chosen to take the necessary measures . All the republicans will rise as one man . '

      Numerous meetings of the National Guards are called to protest against the Roman expedition . Tbe colleges and the compositors of Paris have already protested , Paris is in a state of great agitation , and large quantities of troops are under arms . The news of the second engagement of the French and Romans is confirmed . The loss on both sides is very great . The French are said to have lost 5 , 000 men .

      PROPOSED IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT AND MINISTRY . The following is tbe text of the proposition of impeachment presented by M . Ledru Rollin - . — The undersigned representatives of the people propose to the National Assembly the following decree ; they demand urgency and an immediate reference to the bureaux . Whereas Art . 5 of the preamble of the constitution says : — < The French republic respects foreign nationalities , as it intends to have its own respected by others , ' and whereas Art . 54 of the chapter 5 of the constitution says , ' The President watches over the defence of the state , but he cannot undertake any war without the consent of the National Assembly ;' and whereas the first paragraph of Art . 88 of the constitution declares : — « The President of the Republic , the

      Ministers , tbe agents , and persons holding public authority , are responsible each in what concerns him , for all tie acts of the government and of the administration ; ' considering also that the expeditionary corps under the order of General Oudinot has been , in contradiction to the votes of April 17 and of May 7 of the Constituent Assembly , directed against the liberty of the Roman people ; considering likewise that these facts constitute the crimes of tbe violation of Art . 54 of chapter 5 , already quoted , the National Legislative Assembly decrees that the citizen Louis Napoleon Buonaparte , President of the Republic , and the citizens O . Barrot Buffet , Lacrosse , Rulhieres , de Tracy , Passy , Drouyn de Lhuys , and de Falloux , his ministers , are impeached for having violated the Constitution . — ( Follow ; 142 signatures . ) .

      On Tuesday the debate on the above proposition came on . Previous to the commencement of the debate ( says the' Times , ' ) M . Grendi called attention to the seditious articles ef the Socialist press inviting to insurrection . The Minister of the In-

      Untitled Article

      terior disclared that , in case of necessity , the go vernmentitnew its duties , aud would firmly and faithfully perform them . The announcement was received with much applause by the Right and with silence by the Left . :- M . Canet asked the government whether , in case of the occupation of Rome by the French array , they should leave to the Roman people the liberty of choosing their own form of government . M . Odillon fUiutoT replied , that nothwith . standing the insane resistance the Romans bad offered ,, the intentions of the French government were good .. 1 They could not abandon their , policy . All they could do was to return good for evil . If the refusal of the convention the French government had accepted be followed by the entrance of the French army , all they could do \ tas to forget the past but without abandoning their policy .

      The debate then commenced on the question as to whether . the immediate d iscussion should be entered upon , or whether they should again adjourn until more documents were produced . A division took place , when it was decided by a majority of 377 to 7 that tbe discussion on tbe main question should at once b * proceeded with . In this division the Mountain a bstained from voting . ^ The discussion was then resumed amidst considerable interruption from the Mountain . M . Thiers , who was leceived with frequent and violent interruptions by the Left , addressed the Chamber at some length .

      M . Ledru Rollin followed . At length the closing of the debate was demanded , and the President put the question , which was decided in the affirmative by an immense majority . Tbe decision of the committee rejecting the proposition for the impeachment of the President of the Republic and his late Ministers was put to the vote , when there appeared —for tha decision . 377 ; against it , 8 ; majority for the rejection of tha proposition of impeachment , 369 . The Mountain , as previously , abstained from voting ., The Assembly adjourned in considerable agitation at , ten o ' clock .

      Large crowds were collected in the Place de la Concorde and Champs Eiysees until the hour of adjournment , but every precaution had been taken to prevent a breach of the peace . The 82 nd Regiment of Dragoons arrived in Paris from Malines at four o ' clock yesterday morning by forced marches , and encamped in the Place Car . rousel . : On Tuesday the democratic papers were all seized , and are to be prosecuted . - On Sunday last a Socialist dinner took place at

      Cbariinne , at which three soldiers of ihe 2 oth regiment of the . line attended . They ; made themselves remarked by the violence of their anti-Social doctrines . They were arrested on quitting the diningroom , and are * in all probability , on their road to a compagnie de discipline in Africa . Yesterday , there was another Socialist dinner given in the establishment of ihe Cuisiniers Jieunis , at the Barriere de Maine , at which one of the guests proposed as a toast , ' The Cholera : which . delivered us from the infamous Bugeaud .

      ITALY . BOMBARDMENT OF ROME ! The French commenced their second attack upon Rome at three o ' clock on the . morning of the 3 rd . The following is the French general ' s account . The most infamous despatch , to be found in the military history of France . Oudinot is a notorious liar , we , therefore , would have our readers to be careful how they believe all the vainglorious stuff he narrates in praise of himself and his biother brigands . Head-quarters ,- Villa Parafili , June 4 , 5 a . m . Moxsikur lb Ministre . -The diplomatic negotiations commenced by M . Lesseps have , as you know , somewhat stopped the active progress of the exueditioir . ry corps since the 17 th of May .

      However , the works have never been completely interrupted . The engineers and artillery , assisted by workmen from the infantry , have been employed in making gaboons and fascines . A bridge thrown over opposite the anchorage of San Paolo has enabled us to take up a position in the basilica of that name , which , whilst it enables us to communicate with the Albano road , allows us to forestal there the advance of any foreign force . Our p » sition there is so much the stronger , as our soldiers have built at the head of the bridge a building capable of receiving a battalion . The incessant devotions to their work , of the officers , subalterns , and soldiers of marine , has enabled us to provide successively for the victualling magazines , and the gre . it park of artillery , tlie first pieces of which arrived on the 1 st of June .

      Our troops had occupied Monte Mario , or the Sacrei Mount , which overlooks the High Tiber , the Vatican , the Fort of St . Angelo , and the Ancona and Florence roads . The enemy , who had worker ) there with great activity for several weeks , abandoned it suddenly , and it A * as occupied a few hours after by the 13 th Light and 13 th Infantry without a blow . On 31 st May M . Lesseps had concluded with the Roman authorities a convention , which he wished me to sign . But military honour and my instructions forced mo to refuse to sign an act which would prevent our entry into Rome . In a former despatch I bad the honour of informing yi'U , that on the 1 st of June I had fonv-. Tded a noti' e to the Triumvirate , to inform them that the neutral truce consented to by

      M . Lessnps was no longer to be in vigour alter twenty-four hours . I advised all the enemy ' s advanced posts of this . On the demand of our Chancellor of Legation , M . de Gerando , I conseutcd to defer the attack on the place until Monday the 4 th , at least . This diplomatic agent was informed that our countrymen who wished to leave Rome would find a safe asylum at San Paolo . However , the most rigor-us investment of the place rendered immediately necessary the undertaking of the first operation of the trenches . The General of Division , Vaillant , commanding the engineers , could not seriously commence operations so long as the enemy should be at

      liberty to annoy him by the possession of the Villa Pamfili , the Church of San Pancrazio , and the Villas Corsiniand Valentini . By taking one of these the other two must necessarily be carried also—and so it was done . Two columns , the first commanded by General Molliero , and the other by General Jean Levaillant , received orders to attack at three iu tbe morning on the 3 d j the first starting from the Villa Mattei , and the second from the Villa San Carlo . Atthsir point ofjunetion , Gen : Regnault de St . Jean d'Angely wag _ to take" the command of both , and cfintralise their action . Governors Ilostolan aod Gulswiller had orders to concentrate and support the movement .

      Though the villa Pamfili is surrounded by a wall four yards high , and near fifty centimetres thick , and though the enemy had formed barricades in several places , and though it was defended by about 2 , 000 men , it was quickly taken . More than 200 prisoners , of whom ten were officers , l > ad been taken , at five a . m . Three fhgs aud 200 , 000 cartridges were also left in our hands . The church of San Pancrazio , adjoining the park of the villa Pamfili , shared the same fate ; and we were forcibly established there at seven o ' clock . During this time , two companies dislodged the enemy from a vast edifice , situate three hundred yards from the trench depot , and COO yards from the walls of loine .

      The occupation of the Church of San Fancrazio led necessarily to that of the Chateau Corsiui , which is a triangular buildin ? , constructed withlarge blocks of stone , and very-solid . The enemy had entrenched themselves in a very strong manner , and less than the energy and cleverness of our officers could not have sufficed to dislodge them . The result was attained at about ten o ' clock . Almost simultaneously the Villa Valentini , and a large farm which belongs to it , and is at the same height , was also carried .

      However the Romans , knowing all the importance of these positions , could not allow us to remain in peaceable possession , From morning until seven in the evening columns of attack , supported by the fire of the ramparts , made efforts to retake and preserve these three buildings . Shells had several times set fire to them , which obliged us sometimes to leave them . ' But they were retaken by us immediately . The courage of our soldiers in these grave circumstances was the more worthy of admiration , asaithful to our resolution not to attack Rome before Monday—we never once answered the fire of the ramparts with cannon .

      At one moment the Roman troops led , it is said , by Garibaldi , tried to turn par left by making a sortie upon the plateau leading from the Vatican to the Villa Pamfili . But the ardour of our soldiers prevented this attempt of the enemy , which was ininstantly repressed . Diversions were made by our troops ; and the cavalry scoured the left bank of the Tiber within view of the ramparts . ¦ : On another hand the brigade of Sauvan , posted for some days at Monte Mario , had received orders to seize PonteMolIe , of which one arch had been destroyed , and which every one thought ruined . This supposition bad engaged the general , to send twenty men of good will , who smara over to tho left bank , their muskets

      having and part of their clothes placed on a raft . This operation did not succeed as was expected . The general then determined to seize that portion of the bridge which was on the right bank . Some skirmishers , of whom a certain number were chasseurs a pied , posted at this point , succeeded , after considerable efforts , in silencing the two cannon which enfiladed the bridge ; ¦ „ They forced a thousand Romans , who were on the left bank , to take refuge in the house and stop firing . Our skirmishers were then enabled , by means « f fascines and beams , to re-establish the bridge temporarily for the passage of the infantry , and three companies were soon placed on the left bank , where they soon were in a state to repuhe any attack from the enemy .

      In the night the Roman troops again attempted a sortie , but the resistance of our troops forced them to rpHrp without any result . , 1 is the state of things . The day hasberna most glorious one . Our troops have none of them been en-aged all atone time , but relieved each other in succSssion ; nevertheless most of . them have been on foot from two o ' clock in tho morning to six m the evenine . They carried positions which seemed impregnable , of . which the possession will havei an imthe result of the siegeThe num

      mense influence on . - ber of wounded on our part amounts to 165 , comprising seven officers . . You will shortly receive a detailed account on this point . .... , " . So soon as I shall have received the several reports of the chiefs of corps , 'I will give with more precision than I can now the facts ; which have honoured the divers combats fought on the 3 rd of June . I shall be happy to call all the solicitude of government on the soldiers who so valiantly carried the French flag on that memorable and glorious day .

      ( Signed . ) . The general in command of the expedi tionary corps , Oudinot de Keggio .

      The prisoners taken have been sent to Corsica . Iu the afternoon of the 4 th the . "French army , which still occupied the positions it held on the 3 rd , had recommenced the' attack , which was still continuing when the latest accounts left . The French had carried the Monte Pincio at the point of the bayonet , and made two hundred prisoners . The principal attack had , however , been made on the Porta del Popolo , against which a battery of sieue was firing during the day at less than 300 yards , without success , however , up to the latest moment . The following official despaches were read m the Legi&lativQ Assembly of France on Tuesday ' Head Quarters , Villa Santucci , June 5 , 7 p . m .

      ' The opening of the" trenches took place this evening at six o ' cloek . At five o'clock iu tbe morning two besieging batteries opened their fire . The enemy , occupied by a serious diversion which I had ordered on the side of the Villas Coraini and Valentini , did not fire a single shot on our workmen . ¦ During the day its fire on this side was well kept up , but without , causing us any loss . The 53 rd Regiment of the Line , which landed three days ; since , arrived here yesterday , and immediately took part in the service . The Fonte Molle is entirely re-established , and carriages can pass over it . In the mines 150 kilogrammes of powder were found prepared to blow it up . '

      June 6 , 3 30 a . m . —The night has passed off tranquilly ; the works at the ,- trenches are carried on with activity . Last night new batteries were constructed ; Unceasing exertions are being made to consolidate the defence of San Pancrazio and the villas of Corsini and Valentini . Thus it is evident that so fav from the French having occupied Rome they were as far from doing so as ever . It is expected that a'fortni ght will elapse before the French can enter . A letter from Ancona of the 29 th ult . states that that city has been bombarded up to that time without intermission . ..

      The following appeared in the ' Presse' of Monday : —The French troops have succeeded in forcing an entry into Rome , but the population were defending themselves energetically at every sfep , and from barricade to barricade . - . ¦¦ . -. ; In opposition to this statement there is the statement of Ledru Rollin made the same day in the Assembly . Citizen Rollin read a letter from Rome of the Gth , in which it was announced that a part of the French cavalry had tjeen destroyed in a

      sortie made by the Romans ; that the Villa Pam . phili had been re-taken by the Romans ; that the French troops had suffered enormous losses ; and that General Oudinot had been forced to request of the iloraan goversment an armistice for twentyfour hours , for the purpose of burying his dead , which was at once granted . M . Odillon Barrot in his reply , did not positively deny these facts ; he merely attempted to throw some doubt on them , by stating that the government had not received despat hes of later date than the 4 th .

      Bombardment of Ancona . — The Austrians attacked Ancona vigorously on the 28 th , both by sea and land , but hitherto the cannon of tlm city appears to have had the advantage . The besieging force is stated to amount to 12 . 000 men .

      ' BOMBARDMENT . OF VENICE . We have dates to June 4 th . The bombardment of Venice had been resumed . Day and night the guns of the Austrians thundered from the ruins of Malghera and San Guiliano against San Seconrlo , and the ships of war that defend that point . At Brondolo there is another corps , which creeps by night towards the fortress . The Austrian ships of war were stationed before Chioggia , and sent every night manned boats towards the land , which drew on a fire from the strand batteries , and a wase of powder , for the shot hit nothing . On the afternoon of the 4 th another attack was to be made , in order-to pass the ISrenta and take up a strong position before Bmndolo . This atlack would be supported by the fleet . .

      In Chioggia there was a corvette , with seven gunboats . The Venetian naval lorce was their chief defence . Radetski left the operations before Venice toretarn to Milan on the 1 st inst .

      News from the Upper Silesian frontier , of June 3 , informs us that the cholera has broken out at Breslau and other places in Silesia , and that it is raging with great violence among the Russian troops . An Hungarian apothecary of this city has been found guilty of concealing arms , and having in his possession a likeness of Kossuth , decorated with flowers ; underneath or behind which Jellachich was represented hanging by a tricoloured rope . Such an accumulation of crime was judged treasonable , and the man was sentenced to share the fate he bad desired for Jeliachich , but in consideration that he bad been betrayed to the authorities by a friend , merely to satisfy an old grudge , the sentence of death is commuted to eight years' bard labour in irons . The man is father of four young children . — Vienna Correspondent of the' Morning Chronicle . '
