      FRANCE . Tee CoastilulionBel' gives thefollowing account of trhai took place at the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers , on the 13 ih inst . Our readers must bear in mind thai the ? Constitutionnel' is Tbiers ' s pap .-r , and consequently , the bitter and unscrupulous eeensy of the defeated party . 'It was nearly half-past too o ' clock when the snitti ! troop of representatives , aEd artillerymen , hea . lei ! by M . Ledru Rollin , arrived at the iron gale of the Conservatoire , which " had been left open by the concierge , who bad gone out for some provisions . Tie artillerymen of the National Guard p lanted themselves in the outer-conrt , and took possession

      of the p 35 t in the left of the gate , where some then vrers placed as sentinels , while others were stationed aiona : the foot pavement in the direction of the baidevard . A crowd collected in the sireet , curious to view the scene , bat without taking any part in it . It appears that M . Rattier collected in the c-aurt the sixteen men of the line who at first oceus . i *! the past at the gate , and harangued thesn ^ T he soidiers listened to him ia the most obstinate * siicies , and when the harangue was finished they retired into a corner of the court without saying a wor ; . Soibs persons , representatives or clubbists , who —era present , also thvught proper to address speeches to the artillery and the crowd . M . Lcdru

      Boliin and most of the representatives who were with him , amounting to twenty-six or- twentyseven , bad inarched on , and from the outer-court ecterad the inaer one by the passage -which runs aloe : the Hue St . Martin . Everything wore iU v&K-i aspect . The workmen employed upon the new iusildiags at the Conservatoire were gone to din- ^ . r . The perfect solitude of these immense buildings struck with astonishment and inquietude the smalt party of representatives , who evidently exacted to fiad there a multitude of enthusiasts ,

      lasted tf being obliged to s = ? ek for some one whom thav sii ^ ht address . The peopleof the house were goiMj t « i fin ! ths director , M . Pouillst , who came to meet ftc representatives . M . Ledru Rollin asked Km i'J place the establishment at their disposal , and to oji ? a the rooms to them . M . Poutllef , having made- s 3 me observaiigns upon the impropriety of exo-J ^ iag a national establishment of so much impor ^ e- to hs injttreS , y-s ' ded at last to M . Ledru Rolfe . :-m «] his companions , and conducted them into

      the small amphitheatre , where the . Conventios = vld iis first sitting . A very few minutes had oniv d . ' . T ) 38 « i w ' len the Convention found itself ill at ease in this confined place , which is lighted from the sailing without any side-windows , and has onH two narrow entrance doors . The Conventionalists therefore required to be shown into a room with jaore numerous and larger means of ingress atf § ¦ « rr-ss . They « ere then shown iato what is called " Salle des Filatures , on the ground-floor , ys ' nh savera ; windows towards the garden , the furniture of which consists of only a few tables and

      itcne&s . Here was held iheir second sitting , which was sjut ranch longer than the first . Already , M . Pouiiict . anxious to " preserve ths Conservatoire and Its valuable ccntssiU from she chancps o ? a conflict , repeated to the conspirators many times that this retre . it of scieucs foriaed but a very bad citadel , and that xhev would do well to go elsewhere . Their apijrebensisns were soon increased . Scarcely threequWsrs of sn hour bad been passed in the most cni :: a 5 ? d discusdons , when shots were heard outside The artillerympn of the National Guard , who Baa a"C ^ nipar . ied the new Conventionalists , had cotniRi-iiCil the raising cf a barricade in the Rue

      St . > . ia ? iin , near the gate of the Conservatoire . This ^ vas tbe first act of a system of defence , w Inch "was to be carried round the head-quarters of the insuvreciios . But at this moment a captain of the 6 ; b legkn , c : ! h only ahaut thirty ftationai Guards , collic 7 id witLin a very short disiance , marched courageously against tiie barricade . He was recened v . iih shots from the carabines of tbe artillerymen vhicb , it is said , slightly wounded two National Guards . The batile was becoming hotcer , \ fben 2 baiialica of the 62 nd of the line came up at HcuMc-qzr-ck pace , and carried the barricade , after surrounding the artillerymen , about fifty of

      • whom they made prisoners . Ths reports of the fin-. Brnss reiouaded in tbe room where * be Conventiosaiisss were debating , pale and agiiaied . There wss no safs > v in returning to tbe gate into the Kas Saint Usriin , for there was fighting now going on there . The garden extends under the wij dons » c » tbe Mane ' ie St . Slartin , from wbieh it it is only separated by a railing . The Montagnards resolved to Jean i ? -. in she windows : but as the windows do not opsa , ;« : fl tse air enters by vasistas , it was necessary to br-salr open the windows by force , or to push throvzh the vasistas . AI . Ledru Roiiin did th « latter . ^ ot . however , without sustaining scratches

      and l ? ni = sts ; av . d all the troops got off by tiie gaifcU 4 ar . d through one of the railings . Seven of tbe rfisTiesTai . ives , however , toot the other directio ::, Aad were arrested by the 62 d regiment . M . Eaitier Jeft his cap , and four otbtr bats were found —one foearin ? tbe name of a Lyons maker , the Other of ? . M'iihe-use rjalcer . SATDfiDAY .-rM . Guinard , colonel of the artillerv of ihe . Isstional Guard , was only arrested yester-Jay , not on "Wednesday , as previously stated . The ? Brail ' says that his trieadshad recommended Mm to take fiiaht , but that be refused .

      A provincial journal , quoted by tbe ' Gazette de& Tribaaa > ix , ' says that when the artillerymen of the Haiional Guard and the representatives of the Mountain r . ere assembled on Wednesday , in tbe garden of the Palais Katioaal , Colonel Guiaard said to the fonae ; : — ' Citizens , the representatives of the people who gave tbe constituuon are about to constitute tksmselves at the Conservatoire des Arts et MbiisTS . They maks an appeal to the artillery of tbe National Guard—wl you rally around them ?' ' Yes , yes ! ' cr > fl all ths artillerymen . ' Before decid' tsg , weigh ivtll what you are about to do , ' said M . Guiuard ; ' and if any one hesitates let him leavs the iaaks . Once again , will you rally Tound the > 3 < ju » tainr' We swear it , ' was the answer of all . * forward ! ' Aisd they set out with tbe represtmaavES amidst the shouts of ths people .

      Iu the Chamber yesterday the authorisaticn to prosecmeJill . Mmant Htiizmann Rougeot , Rollaiifi , Fiiieger , Lassdjiphe , L . Avril , aud Jeannot , all Teprt-seniatives o ( tiie people , for being concerned in the 3 « . s insurrectional movement , was voted unanimo . ! -iy , the members cf the Left abstaining from votisij . A vote of thanfcs was passed in the midst of tbe greatest enthusiasm on tbe Right , to General Changar ; n ? r , ike National Guards , " and tbe army for their cocfl . uei on Wednesday Jasr , tbe Left aiain abstaining ro-n voting . " Victor lingo then asked explanations as to the destruction oi certain printing presses and premises hy 3 hviiv of National Guard . The facts cLicb lave i-eesi alafadv shortly stated , are these :

      AL 3 Jnc- o'clock in the evening of Wednesday , a bana ' sk-n of National Gaard under thecommand oi Cant . Tisyrat , end a battalion of chasseurs dc Vincc » i-s , entered the premises ofM . Boule , Hue C <; qberr . a . where tbe journals L'Estafeiie , ' 'Le Temps , ' La L-. b ? rte , ' and * La Republique , 'are printed . Thee , soldiers were accompanied by a commissary oi pelict , and they proceeded , without assigning any ie&t-in . to break the presses , to cat the gas pipes , and destroy the type , the damage done being valued at a lares sum , and 200 workman being thereby thrown out of enjploy .

      At the same moment a similar scene was being enacted in the offices of the « Democratic Padfiqnc ' A detachment of the Nation ?! Guard of the 1 st leginn went to the offices , sitnatcd in the tenth arrondissenient , and after hieing their way in , arrested three editors , three compositors , and two Other persons , and fastened them in a cellar , where on Thursday evening they were still in custody . The same National Gnarns afterwards destroyed tJse foriKs . scattered tbe type , and did other damage in the printing cfiJM .

      Upon these facts it was that M . Victor Hugo made his remarks , and concluded by asking government what steps it bad taken in the affair . M . Dufaure , in tiie name of the government , expressed his regret at v , ! iat bad taken place , and declared that the authorities would have evinced the utmost readiness to prevent such acts could they have been anticipated . The minister then , as he was in the tribune , took occasion to inform the Assembly that , according to

      the despatches arrived from various parts of the country , U appeared beyond a doubt that the signal had been given to commence an insurreciion on the same day in every part of France . The authorities , however , having been forewarned in time , would , he said , be able to prevent an outbreak in every quarter except , probably , at Lyons , where , as the prefect ^ r nte vrord , a struggFe was imminent , and which city had been placed in a state of siege . No apprehe : ! tion . however , was felt as to the result .

      The affair of tie printing presses is the subject « f v ^ ry severe remarks in most of the journals today . The ' National ' is very strong on the subject ,

      accusing those whom it qualifies as blancs of airing instigated these disorders . The ' Moniteur ' publishes a decree signed by the President of the Republic , appointing General Changarnier Commander-in-Chief of the National Guards of the Seine , and commander of the troops of the first mUltary division . The decree adds that the double command shall cease as soon as public tranquillity shall have beea re-established in the capital . . ¦ ¦ " " . Tbe same official journal publishes a decree , signed by the President of the Sepuulic , placing the city of Lyons ; and the entire district compr ised in the sixth military division , in a state of siege- ¦ ' ¦

      . . Subsequent decrees pronounce the dissolution of the Veterinary College at Alfort ; the dissolution of the 3 rd company of the 3 rd battalion of the 5 th Legion of tbe National Guards of Paris ; and the dismissal of M . Pouillet , Director of the Conservatoire des Arts et Metiers . Judiciary proceedings are going on at the Palais de Justice , and the examination of documents and of witnesses relative to the events of the 13 th , which for the present form the only topic of ¦ interest—even to the exclusion of the Roman question , which was the pretext for them . The

      discovery of new documents necessarily leads' to new arrests , and it is stated that not less than 300 persons were in custody up to ten o ' clock last night . Aaaagst these persons are Colonel Forestier , of the 6 th Legion ; Lieutenant-Colonel Pascal , of the 11 th ; Lieutenant-Colonel Perier , of the 1 st of the ianlieue ; twenty-five artillerymen of tbe Natijnal Guard , including three officers , and several wellknown chiefs of clubs and delegates of the Socialist Committees . The majority of ths members of an association or club , called the German Democratic Committee , were also arrested .

      The dfcree of the President of the Republic sus-Bending six Socialist journal ) was notified to their editors this day . Those journals were' Le Peuple , ' 'La Republique Deraocratique et Sociale , ' 'La Vraie Republique , '' La Democratic Pacifique , '' La Reforme , ' and La Tribune . ' Appended to that decree is an order of the Minister of the Interior directing General Changarnier to establish military posts in the oflkes of those journals . Among the persons arrested are many of the ex-Montagnards of Caus ' sidiere .

      Forty shots , it appears , were fired on the 13 th . Of four of the persons wounded two underwent amputation yesterday in the Hospital de Beaujon , Faubourg du Iioule , the leg of one and the arm of tbe other being cut off . A third died last night . This last was one of tbe men who fired a pistol on the Boulevard at the corner of the Chaussee d'Antin ; he was instantly shot down by a Chasseur deTincennes . Suxda * . —Yesterday several arres ( s and seizures again took place in Paris . About 300 persons have already been confined . It may be necessary to state that when the Baden insurrectionary government was founded , they sent as envoys to Paris

      Messrs . Schutz , Huge , and Blind . These envoys presented their credentials , which were not revived . Yesterday , a body of police entered their domiciles , and seized everything there . Sehutz succeeded in making bis escape . It was known that Ledru Rollin bad had an interview with them on the night precreding the outbreak here , and hence the seizure . The house of Boicbot was also entered , and all the papers seized . * La Presse' contains the following announcement at the head of its leading article : — ' The censorship

      is r e-established , with the difference that it is officiously , and not officially , re-established . A commissary of police called to-day at the offices of the ' National , ' the 'Sieele' and the 'Presse' to apprise those journals that if they persisted in repeating their ideas on the interpretation by the majority of the 54 th article ef the constitution , the majorsty of tbe Chamber , which should be consulted on the subject , would authorize the sequestration of those journals * We submit to force , but we wish tbe public to know that our pen is no longer free .

      Pacts , Mokeay . —The insurrection at Lyons , which , as has been stated , was put down on the aveningof the 15 th , was renewed but feebly after the last notices of the 16 th , in the morning . A telegraphic despatch , dated half-past nine , a . m ., on that day , states that the insurrection was then entirely put down . The Sieele' publishes the following letter : — ' A journal states that I am not arrested , and that I have succeeded in escaping from all search that has been made for me . Permit me to inform you that I 7 , 'ent yesterday , the 15 th , at three o ' clock , to the parloir of the Assembly , and there presented , myself , to II .

      We read in the ' Dix Decembre : ' 'M . d'AIton Shee left Par is for Brussels in the evening of the 14 tb , by the Northern Railroad , in the disguise of a stoker . The train it drew contained the late questor ot the Assembly , M . Degoussee , awl several of his political frknds , called 'Amis de la Constitution . '' A journal having stated that all the medical students at the hospital of the Val de Grace bad taken an active part in the manifestation of the 13 th inst ., joining tbe rio ' ers on the Boulevards , M .

Tufsdat . —After the Assembly bad returned yesterday from deliberations in its bureaux , the authorisation to prosecute JJ . Felix Pyat was granted . TI ; e repoi t of itbe committee appointed to examine

      the bill on the clnhs was then presented by M . J . de Lasteyrie . The committee , be stated , unanimously agreed with the Minister of tbe Interior in the opinion that meetings known by the name of clubs were incompatible with publ c security and respect for constitutional rights . Tbe committee in consequence called on the minister to present within the space of one year a bill which , while it regulated tbe right of meeting , should interdict absolutely the existence of clubs . The discussion on tbe bill is fixed for this day . The Assembly , before breaking up . dfcided tbat ihe permanence which has existed [ or some days should now cease .

      M . Pefleiger , a representative for the Upper Rhone , and who formed part of the Convention at the Conservatoire des Arts on the 13 ch , succeeded in escaping and making his way to the Northern Railway , where he entered tbe first train for Brussels . On his arrival there he was arrested , for want of a passport . He said his name was Prudhorame , and showed the medal of tbat gentleman , who is also a representative for the same place . Tbe deception was discovered , and he was obliged to avow the cause of his arrival in Brussels . He was subsequently , at his own request , marched under escort to the frontier of Prussia . Colonel Dauphi . of the 7 th Legion of National Guards of Paris , was arrested on Monday on a charge of having been implicated in the conspiracy of the 13 th of June .

      DISTDRBAN'CES IN THE DEPARTMENTS ,. —INSURRECTION AT LYONS . At Auxerre the Red Republicans- endeavoured to $ et up a movement , and were preparing to sieze on the cannon belonging to the National Guards of the place , with a view of proceeding to the assistance of Paris , when the news came . that the projected insurrection in tbe capital had been suppressed , and the project was consequently abandoned . ; At Toulouse great crowds collected in the streets , uttering seditious cries , and the appearance of matters was so serious that the military were called out , and had great difficulty in dispersing them . The ' Courrier de Lyons , ' gives a full account of what took place there .

      On the evening of the 14 th , several men went to the house of the prefet , to demand the communication of a telegraphic despatch which that official should have received from Paris during the day , and which he had not published . He answered that even though be had received the communication alluded to , he thought he had the right of making it known or keeping it secret as he chose ; but , besides ' that , he could inform them that he had received no transmission of any kind , as the state of the atmos-, phere ^ rendered it impossible . Tbe democrats , being little satisfied with ibis answer , retired , saying that ' since the authorities refused to tell them anything , it must be tbat unfavourable intelligence had been received , and they instantly spread the , news , which appeared in a supplement of the 'Republican , ' to the

      fffsd that Ledru Boliin was master of Paris , and that the President of the Republic and the Alinisters were at Vinceunes . It was in vain tbat the Prefect put up a placard contradicting the news ; it spread and caused great excitement everywhere . The agitation , which was great on the morning of the 14 tb , increased , and numerous groups formed at the Croix Rousse at La Guillotiere , and in the Quartier Perrache . At seven o ' clock in the evening a band of about sixty individuals descended from the Croix Rousse to the Place des Terreaux , where a great crowd had assembled . Several compact groups were also assembled before the Hotel de Ville . At halfpast eight o ' clock the crowd drawing near the steps of that edifice threatened to enter it . It was then that two summonses were made in the usual form .

      Nevertheless the groups did not disperse , and in the midst of the crowd voices of men were heard making speeches , and reading news by torch li g ht . One of thempioclaimed aloud the Republique Democratique et Sueiale . The state of things lasted until eleven inthe evening , when a body of troops issusd from tbe Hotel de Ville , and formed a circle in which they caught and arrested 150 individuals . The same journal , in a postscript dated the morn ing of the IGih , says that the Poste of the Ecole Veterinaire had been surprised and disarmed by a band of 600 or 800 men , which afterwards went to the Croix Rousse . A conflict had also taken place at the Porte St . Laurent and Porte des Bernardines . Several men attempted to disarm the military posts there ; the soldiers fired , and several of the aggressors nv » re shot . Subsequently to this the Poste of tbe Ecole Veterinaire was re-occupied bv the troops .

      Later news received from Lyons gives an account of 3 tremendous struggle on the 18 th . However , all the barricades were taken by the troops j the loss of life has been very great . Tbe following are details oi the affair during the 15 th instant , that being the day when most fightirg took iilace : —It has already been stated that on the morning of that day a post of 150 or 200 men at the Ecole Veterinaire had beendisaimfd by the insurgents . It appears that the snifters had been persuaded that the government had been overthrown , and they gave up their arms voluntarily , and partly joined the insurgents , whose number was further increased by several pupils of the Veterinary School .

      The fighting first commenced at eleven o'clock , at tbe Bernardines . The 17 th of the line , of which the poxte of the Veterinary School formed a part , presented itself first to the fire . The . insurgents , on the other hand , had thrust forward the adherents they had got in that regiment , so that many of the men fell ou both sides . The affair began by the insurcents , who came to disarm the post of the Bernardines . The soldiers then fired on the people , who cried out treason . But it was no longer time to draw back . The gate of tbe Bernardines forms the communication between Lyons and the suburb of Ln

      Croix Rousse , where the insurgents counted roost partisans . The opposition of the troops on this po'nt was , therefore , most fatal to the insurgents . They dispersed at once , with cries of ' To arras . ' The tocsin was sounded , and barricades were commenced in tbe Grande Rue and several adjacent streets . A determined fire from the windows and roofs of houses was at the same time commenced aeainst the soldiers occupying the barracks of the Bernardines , who replied at first wiih musketry and then with cannon , tearing the houses of the Grande Place and the Grande Rue .

      This state of things continued till two o ' clock p . m ., when a column of infantry ^ about 2 , 500 strong supported by eight pieces of artillery , and headed by General Magnan , turned the hillocks of La Croix Kousse by the quays of the Saone , climbing the rising grounds leading to it starting from the Quay de Semi , and moving along the fortified enceinte which separates Lyojis from La Croix Rousse ., Having arrived on the plateau half way from the Grande Place , General Magnan stopped bis column , and , having exhorted his men , commenced the attack . The column was received witb a fire of

      musketry from the bouses and the Grande Place of the Croix Rousse . This was answered by the firing of cannon from the troops- The square was then occupied , the barricades attacked , and sucjessfully carried , after considerable resistance . Several officers were killed . and wounded , amongst whom the colonel and three captains of the 17 th . At the moment that the column of General Magnan made this principal attack , a battalion of the 6 ih light infantry entered the Grande Rue by the road of tbe Cuire , and joined the other column in tbe middle of the Grande Rue . From that moment the Croix Rousse might be considered as occupied . The insurgents , whose mass was thus broken , took refuge in the Quartier da la Boucle , formed a barricade there at the foot of a rising bill , and a second lower down . At five in the evening a battalion of

      infantry , accompanied by a detachment of dragoons , attacked and carried them . Other solitary barricades , in divers parts of Lyons , were carried by the troops ' , which occupied tbe city in its entire surface , On the 16 l 1 i the town and suburbs were quiet . It is calculated that the insurgents lost 150 dead and wounded , and 800 prisoners ; and the troops sixty dead and wounded . The cannon having done great damage to the bouses of the Croix llousse , a large concourse of persons began to arrive towards six o'clock to view the scene of combat . The circulation remained uninterrupted until eight the next morning , the precaution of shutting the gates of the Croix Kousse having been merely taken . At that hour orders were given to prevent any further circulation , except on business . Permission was given to all to go out , but to none to come in .

      Wheu the insurgents were taken , about six o ' clock in the evening , to the Hotel de Ville , General Gemeau was there , and the soldiers cried out loudly ' Vive le General ! ' General Geraeau then drew near , and said : ' Soldiers of the I 7 ih—For some time past the army had not any reason to be satisfied with the manner in which you carried your colours ; but your conduct to-day has covered you with glory ; you have rehabilitated yourselves in the eyes of the country , and I hereby return you thanks for your gallant conduct . The soldiers replied by renewed cheers . Three of the 17 th , who had gone over to the insurgents , having been made prisoners , were immediately shot by their former comrades .

      During the whole of the night after the combat Lyons was occupied militarily . The bridges were all guarded by artillery and cavalry ; the Prefecture , the Place des Terreaux , the P / ace de Bellecour , tbe Hotel de Ville , the Palais St . Pierre , the Palais de Justice , &c , were all occupied by the infantry . The houses at the corners of the principal streets were held by parties of infantry . The night passed over with the utmost calm , and everything on Saturday

      ITALY . ¦ THE BOMBARDMENT OF ROME . ( From the ' Morning Chronicle . ' ) Rome , June-5 th . Yesterday , the French , fatigued no doubt by the sixteen hours' firing of Sunday , attempted nothing of moment . All tlia afternoon and this morning ( up to twelve o ' clock ) , a dropping fire of musketry , with ' occasional cannon-sbots , has neen heard at different points of the Trastcvere face , from Porta Portese to the Castle of St . Angelo , which indicates the continuance of sharp skirmishes he . tween the French and Roman troops . After nightfall the fusillade became so heavy before St . Pancrazioand immediately under St . Angelo , that a night

      , attack on these two points was apprehended ; but tho enemy desisted , finding the Romans on the alert and well prepared to receive them . Up to this time the French have not succeeded in getting a single battery in position , the result of Sunday ' s combats having left the Romans , in possession of all the disputed ground outside the' walls . In the evening , I understand that General Oudinot requested a truce of sixteen hours to enable him to attend to his wounded and bury his dead , but he was informed that it could only be consented to if he withdrew his troops to a distance of ten miles . The French , up to this time , have made no progress . Their general has brought a terrible responsibility on his head ele

      by making " himself the cause of so much usss effusion Of blood . Can there be a stronger proof of the anarchy that prevails , not only in the constituted powers of government , but even in the soul of men—in some European countries at least—than the dispute between the French General and Ambassador , the wilful disregard of the convention concluded by Lesseps in virtue of the authority entrusted to him , and the wanton attack of Rome on a Sunday , in the face of a promise made by the French commander himself that no assault would take place before Monday ? The feeling of indignation excited amongst all classes of the inhabitants of Rome by this heartless display of treachery and bloodthirstiness has been such , that they are

      unanimous in declaring that , n it must come to a surrender , the keys of the city shall be delivered to the Austrian General d'Aspre , rather than give them up to Oudinot . . The Neapolitans have again entered the Roman territory . The courier for Naples returned to Rome last night , not having been able to proceed on his journey , and brought word that they are at Ceprano , which is just within the Roman frontier . The Spaniards are at Terracina , and are advancing by the coast . Thus , in two or three days more , Rome will be invested on all sides by three , if not four , hostile armies , making an overwhelming force . Mav God defend the right !

      What will the French journals say to the guet-d ' pens , which was so adroitly practised on the Romans at the Villa Pamphili , where their troops were treacherously made prisoners , amidst cries of Republican fraternity ! This time it will not be pretended tbat the Romans can fight only behind stone walls , as the most important part of Monday ' s engagements passed entirely out of their shelter , and the Algerines were more than once obliged to turn their backs by a charge of bayonets . No one can now attempt to deny that the Romans are making a noble stand . Let it be recollected that the French alone number from 20 . 000 to 25 , 000 men .

      Two o'Clock . —The Rbmans have kept up a warm cannonade on the French for the greater part of this day , at the three points of the Porta San Paacrazio , Porta Portese , and Mount Testaccio . The latter is an isolated eminence lying to the south-west of Mount Aventinc , still within the walls , and close to the Tiber . The French are in considerable force on this side . I understand they have not yet succeeded in establishing a single battery in position . Four hundred bombs and grenades have fallen in the Trastevere quarter ;

      June 6 . —There was no firing up to one o clock , when a tolerably heavy cannonade was heard at Saa Pancrazio . It did not last long , however , being speedily interrupted by a thunderstorm of great violence , which is still raging , with heavy rain . The official list of the wounded in Monday ' s actions , published by the commission of succon / , makes the number admitted into the hospitals 336 . Only three Romans were wounded yesterday , though the French are said to have suffered considerably by the cannonade . Some shells and rockets discharged by them fell yesterday on the eastern side of the Tiber , in the Piazza Madaraar , and at other points . Last evening , towards sunset , 1

      visited the gate and bastion of St . Pancrazio , with tiie view of observing how matters went on at that point , which is the great object of the enemy ' s attack . A sharp skirmish between Garibaldi ' s men and the French tirailleurs was going on , immediately under the city wall , in the adjoining gardens . Three of the mnst superb villas that adorn the environs of Rome—those of Pamphili Doria , Corsini , and Torre Trc Vcnti-are close to this spot ; the whole of them are completely riddled with shot , having been more than once in tbe possession of both parties . The cannonade had by this time somewhat slackened , and the bulk of the French had withdrawn to some distance . They bad several guns , but not

      more than six or eight posted at three several points , about houses , which might be half a mile distant from tbe foot of the wall . On the whole , I was not sorry they beat a retreat , as , it being the first time of my being actually under fire , my feelings were not altogether comfortable , and tbe risk of being seen and singled out by some ambushed Johnny Crapaud was far from inconsiderable . ' It was delightful to observe the spirit of the Roman troops ; every man seemed animated by the determination to hold on to tbe last , the walls are well topped with sandbags , which make a capital parapet . ( From the ' Daily News . '

      June 5 th . — On the Monte Testaccio , a thirty-six and an eigliteen-pounder molest tbe enemy ' s head-quarters , and prev < uit his establishing batteries in that direction . Farth r off , however , on the Monte Verde , the French have some heavy artillery : shells , twenty-four-pound shot , and congreve rockets are continually discharged by them this morning " , but their range appears to be not well calculated , as they rarely offend the walls and gate of San Pancrazio , but usually pass over the heights of San Pietro in Montorio , and fall in the Trastevere quarter below , where some houses have been already set on fire , and some citizens wounded by them . The superior weapons of tbe Chasseurs

      d'Afrique , the long range of the carabines de Yincennes have allowed the French sharp-shooters to take their aim from a safe distance , to the detri mfint of the Romans , who have lost many distin guished yoang men of property and family , led by a just enthusiasm for the national cause to the most dangerous points : but in the hand to hand combat the Italian bayonet has proved decidedly superior to the French , and most gallantly have the llomau troops stormed the enemy ' s positions in that manner , and then been obliged to yield . them again under overwhelming discharges of musketry . No fewer

      than ten attacks of this kind were made in the course of Sunday last—in one of them , which took piace about one o ' clock , three companies of Garibaldi ' s legion advanced to storm a casino occupied by the French , under a murderous fire from the windows , succeeded in effecting an entry , and bayonetted 147 wretches who were not nimble enough to escape with the rest of their comrades by the opposite door and windows . A series of similar struggles formed the occupation of the troops on Sunday , and the loss in suck engagements must , of course , be severe on both sides .

      At the present moment ( one o ' clock , p . m . ) the artillery roars incessantly , chiefly from the gate of San Pancrazio , answered by the heavy French guns beyond , from the Aventine which defends the gate of St . Paul , and from Monte Testaccio which commands , the Porta Portesa . An occasional shot from the walls of the Vatican , the Castle of St Angalo , or the Ripetta checks the advance of attacking parties from the Monte Mario and the banks of tbe Tiber . . The Roman forces are naturally very much fatigued , having to defend so large an extent of wall beth night and day , but they are well and courageously backed by the National Guard and populace and not a shade of dissension exists in the city . A reinforcement of 4 , 000 men under Mezzacapa and Misi is expected to arrive this afternoon , the first corps from Terni and the second from Velletri .

      June 6 th . —All yesterday was occupied by the French in attempting to perfect their batteries . Two heavy pieces were placed , as I mentioned yesterday to the south of Porta San Pancrazio , out of reach of the Roman artillery , and from them shells weighin g

      staff , While conversing on the terrace about halfpast nine am ., were unlucky enough to get a cannon ball in the midst of them , from the fifth bastion of the Vatican , which put rather a sudden stop to their consultations . The action , was continued until night , When the French withdrew from the walls . F rtigned attacks oh other gates had the effect of keeping every one on the alert ; and an alarm cf the enemy ' s cavalry at Porta Pia brought up ( our or five thousand men from the quarter of the Monti , armed some with muskets and others with pikes , knives , and stones , in the use of which primitive missile the Monticiani have been , from time immemorial , considered as great adepts . The Trasteverini , irritated by bombshells and grenades , have offered their hand-to-hand services to

      Garibaldi , and a chosen band , under Ciceruacchio ; are to accompany the general in his next sortie . ' This morning the French hoisted a black flag , to indicate that they were employed in burying their dead , and subsequently a white one , in : consequence of which hostilities have not as yet been resumed . It is hardly likely that any counter orders can have been received so soon from Paris , although this cessation is attributed to a despatch brought to Oudinot . The main force of the enemy is certainly farther off ; the dispersed parties of sharpshooters ht > ve been concentrated towards Monte Mario , and the cavalry of that division is in the fields near Ponte Molle : I have just seen them very plainly

      from the top of the Ara Coeli convent , which commands one of the finest prospects in the city , and affords an excellent bird's-eye view of the whole besieging operations . I have also bad an interesting conversation with a young officer ef the 3 rd regiment of the line , byname Ceccarini , who , together with fifteen or sixteen of his men , was taken prisoner by tbe French after having succeeded in storming the villa called : Quattro Venti , which was so- often taken and lost on Sunday by b . Hh parties . The French officer , putting a pistol tn his breast , led him to a window of the third

      fljor , bidding him to look at the dead below , and whilst young Ceccarini obeyed the command he felt his leijs suddenly lifted up , and himself forcibly flung out of the window . Although greatly stunned by the fall , its violence was lessened by some straw below , and the unfortunate Icarus succeeded in making his escape , not much edified by the vaunted French courtesy . Similar facts , and the unexpected attack on the ' city , have produced great exasperation against the French , and their influence in Italy ( declared to be one of the objects of this strange aud unnatural intervention ) is entirely lost to them .

      Later News . —It appears that between the 6 th and 7 th an armisiice of twenty-four hours was agreed to , which led to no other result than the possibility of burying the dead on both sides . The second parallel mentioned [ by our Turin correspondent is at 1 G 0 yards from tbe walls . Since the 5 th , ricochet batteries had been plying from behind the first parallel . The guns used are sixteen pounders , which are placed so as to fire in flank of the attack in order to enfilade the faces of the bastions . The guns are pointed so as to make th « balls ricochet on the internal earth . work of the rampart and on the platforms of the batteries so as to disperse the artillerymen and destroy the carriages . The breach is co be made in the bastions of the Castle of St .

      Angelo . Meanwhile the Transtevere quarter , which has already been bombarded , is being evacuated , and the inhabitants have been allowed to take refuge in the palaces of the cardinals , in convents and churches , which ave generally shell-proof . Of the Roman combatants 336 wounded were brought into the hospitals on the 3 rd , and forty-two on the 4 th . Of these , seven died on the 5 th . Thirty . three were brought in from the engagement to the nearest hospital at San Pietro in Montorio , either dying or di-ad , and some dead were brought in at once to the cemeteries , so that we may calculate tjhe-wounded , during the first three days , at about 400 , and the dead at about eighty .

      June 7 . —We are still in the same position . The French have as yet made no progress , although they made several bold attempts , under the cover of yesrerday ' s storm , to push scaling parties up to the walls . Almost the entire force eucaiuped on Monte Mario has , since the re-comraen : ement of hostilities , been spread acrosss the plain reaching from that eminence to the city walls , looking lor opportunities of firing good long shots . , and molesting the Roman garrison without being in danger of being paid in kind . The main body of the army , whose principal camp is at the Villa Sa ' itucci , to the south of Purta Portese , sends large bodies of skirmishers in the same manner , nor have we as yet had a renewal of the close combat which tried the courage and perseverance of both parties for seventeen hours on Suaday last .

      I have just come from tbe Mount Aventine , whenre the French were plainly discernible on the opposite bask of the river , occupied in the construction of a battery for five rims , three of which were pointed against Monte Testaocio , and two against the spot on which I was standing . They were quite within range of the Roman cannon , but the artillery , men said that they had orders not to fire until Monte Testaccio , whose works were in course of reparation , should set the example . The Aventine battery fires grenades and round shot from eighteenpounders ; the artillerymen work behind an earthem fort before the church of Santa Sabina . and three more embrasures are being added to the fortification

      this morning , so that there seems to be a tacit understanding between the hostile parties not to molest each other ' s operations . Yesterday the facade of the church was disfigured by twenty or thirty French twenty-four pound shot . Porta San Pancrazio is continually receiving additional artillery , and being strengthened by fresh outworks . Rome is now said to be defended , in the whole circuit , by upwards of 120 pieces o f cannon , besides those of reserve which are transported rapidly from one point to another , according to the urgency of the attack . Eight enormous cast-iron guns came in this morning from Porto d'Anvo , each drawn by three pair ofbuffalues , and are to be mounted on the walls of the Castle of St . Ancelo .

      The ' Rivista Indipendente ' of Florence , of the Oth , states that the Porta Pia and St . John of Latcran , of Rome , ave threatened by the Spaniards , Neapolitans , and Swiss , who appear to act in concert with the French . Throa edicts have been published at Rome by the government : —One decreeing a medal of honour to the combatants : another exhorting the people to calmness ; and a third directing that " those who tare without shelter in consequence of their houses being destroyed by shells , shall be received into some convent or palace . Tho Assembly is determined to resist—first at the walls , then at the barricades , and lastly in the palace of tbe Assembly .

      Later News . —News from Rome to the 9 th , bear Turin reports that the French have secured their position , aud formed their second parallel on the Janiculum , opposite the gate of St . Pancrazio , the point to which they have , from the first , directed their efforts , as it commands the most important poiuts of the eternal city , and especially the Castle St . Angelo-The cannonade on the 7 th , 8 th , and flth , was principally directed , on the part of the besieged , to destroy the earth-works forming by the French , aud on the part of the latter to protect the erection of those

      works , so as to place the siege artillery , which it was supposed would begin to open their fire onthelOch , and effectuate a practicable breach on the 12 th . A letter from Civita Veechia , dated the 11 th , announces that the Duke d'Harcourl and M . de Hayneval had landed there from Gaeta . They had proceeded to General Oml inot ' s head-quarters . The latest accounts from the French army stated , that at nine o clock on the 10 th the third parallel had been completed , and that it had been advanced to within fi- 'ty yards of the wall marked out as the point to be attacked .

      Ancona still resisted on the Sth , after fifteen days ' siege . ' The Times announces the arrival at Marseilles , on the 17 th , of a steamer from Civita Veechia , with the news that the French army entered Rome on the 14 th , through the breach . d General Oudinot had announced to his friends in Pans that if the Romans did not surrender , he would make himself master of some portion of the walls on w . I ' r His Possession of a part of the wall , and his establishing troops there , after blowing it up by bis parallels , trenches , and mines , make him no more master of Rome than he was before . The French might have taken miles of tho walls of Rome long since , without being one atom more advanced towards the subjugation of the Romans . Later News .-It appears tint on the 9 tli Gari

Notwithstanding the blockade , and the occupation of the coast by the Austrians , Venice continued to receive provisions in great abundance .

Minister Bruck had opened

      negotiations with tho city , but to no effect . . His otters were : a general amnesty ; the recognition of the public debV of Venice ; the institution of tbe civic guard ; a civil and not military government ; the reintegration into their several offices of all those persons who held public functions before the 22 nd of March , 1818 ; all the employes to be Italian , to the exclusion of Germans ; the amount of a year of pradial tax to be waived by the Austrian government . In return for these conditions , the Austriana were to occupy the town and forts . The Venetians have refused , fearing , with reason , that the Austrians , once in possession , would keep none of these articles . The Venetian government lias found it necessary to withdraw the soldiers who occupied the outpost of Marghera . The following order of the day will show how well these gallant fellows had discharged

      their . dufcy : — n " May 2 T . —The garrison of Marghera , commanded by Colonel Ulloa , lias deserved tbe admiration of the Venetian government and the Coramander-in-Chief , and will obtain the applause of all Italy , when the history of the siege it has sustained against the troops and artillery of the enotny , vastly superior in number , shall be known . ¦¦¦ ,...., , " If the courage , patriotism , and invincible resolution to dare and endure everything which animated the defenders of the place alone had been taken into account in deciding how long the defence should be

      protracted , it coald have been maintained for several days , and more than one assault miaht have been repelled . But the government , the Commander-in-Chicf , and the committee of defence , taking into consideration that the loss of Marghera does not compromise the security of the lagoon ; that the enemy s fire from 150 guns has riddled its walls ; and that it is necessary to preserve its intrepid defender-to maintain our city ana ' lagoons ; resolved that the place should be evacuated . Marghera w ; is therefore evacuated last night , the retreat being effected in perfect

      order . "If we have to deplore this loss ,, not easily estimated , the enemy have no cause of triumph . The valour of our garrison has left unavailable for further fighting 400 out of 2 , 500 of all arms . The people of Venice and Ittily are aware that there is no plnee on terra firma but must at lass yield to a regular siege , and that the enemy brought a force sufficient for the reduction of a first-rate place against Marghera , which is only of the third class . " The enemy themselves will tell to what a deplorable condi'ion Marghera has been reduced . The powder magazine , though bomb-proof and covered with sand-bags , has been materially injured and

      rendered unserviceable . The two case-mates have become insecure ; the platform and parapets have be .: n shattered ; and finally , many of the mounted guns have been dismantled . Nevertheless order was preserved to the last t > such an extent that it may boldly be said the Italians have shown themselves deficient in no respect , not even in dbeipline . —The geperal Commander-in Chief , Wm Pt'fE . " PIEDMONT . —The 'Piedmontese Gazette , ' o f the 11 th instant , announces that the state of the King was more satisfactory , that the pains and fever had

      subsided , and that his Majesty had enjoyed somerepoie , A detnonst ation in favour of the Romans took place at Turin on the night of the 9 th . Bands of young men traversed the streets , crying 'Viva Garibaldi ! ' and 'Viva the Roman Republic ! ' and afterwards quietly dispersed . The ' Gazette , ' after mentioning this fact , declares that the government was determined to repress such demonstrations with , the utmost rigour , and it accor-lingly requested peaceable and honest citizensnot to join those tumul « tuous assemblages .

      GERMANY . The democratic clubs of tbe Saxon provinces of Prussia have chosen delegates , who met on the 11 th in Kothen , to deliberate whether the , democratic party ought to proceed to elect deputies for the second chamber at Berlin , according to the late octroyed electoral Jaw . . Amongst the members present were Rodbertus Schuhz of Deliisch , Pilet , and Pax . The great majority of the assembly , with Rodbertus at their head , were of opinion that they ought not to elect . The new electoral law was de « clared unanimously a violation of the constitution of Dec . 5 . Schultz and- Pilet held that , notwithstanding it would be practically better to take part

      in the elections . The latter were , however , left in a minority ; and a resolution was passed in favour of non-election . Another assembly will be held by the same parties in Kothen in the beginning of August to report upon the then state of affairs . Rodbertus has come to Berlin . A proclamation has been published by the committee of the ' people ' s party' in Berlin , which assigns as grounds for rerefusing to elect according to the new law , that this decree contains a gross violation of the constitution , by abolishing the equal privilege of all to choose representatives ; and that the people ' s party cannot sanction the euactments of chambers called together under-a law so purely arbitrary .

      At an assembl y of the democratic electors of the districb of Leignltz , on the 12 th , it was resolved Hot to vote at the forthcoming elections for the second chamber , and to summon a congress of deputies from democratic clubs , which is to meet on the 24 th . The operations against the Palatinate have begun . The vanguard of Hirschfield ' s division marched undar the orders of General Uannecken on the 12 th from Kreuzuach to Alzey . The reserve division under General Brulm followed from Strombarg to

      Kreuzna ^ h . The second division under General Wehern was concentrated at Neuenkirchen , and the third division of General Niesevvand between Bamalioldes and Grumbacfi . Hanneckeu ' s division is to advance on tbe 13 tb to Feddersheim , and occupy Worms , while Oppenheim was occupied on the 11 th by two battalions of the garrison of Mayeuce . The reserve division marches on the 13 th to Alzey , Webern ' s division through Homburg against Landstuhl , and Niesewand ' s division throug h Lanterecker against Wolfstein and Mohrbaen .

      THE WAR IN HUNGARY . On June 10 th there arrived in the Austrian camp uparlammtaire from Kossirth , who brought a message to General Haynau , admonishing him that if ? ny more Hungarian prisoners were executed , the most distinguished Austrian officers captured by the Magyars would be put to death by way of reprisal This note was accompanied by a certificate signed by several Austrian officers , prisoners at Groswardein , bearing testimony to the humane treatment they had experienced from the Hungarians . Among the signatures were Colonel Count Montecuculi . Lieutenant-colonel Regensburg , Majors Steeb and Scudier of tbe engineers , Count Erbaca , Ghilani , Hammer , Captains Hartweek and Landgraf , Lieutenants Schofel , Thinwald , Colleoni , and Wollinowich .

      The Austrian journals publish a bulletin of a victory gained by the Ban of Croatia over a force of the Hungarians . RHENISH BAVARIA AND BADEN . The intelligence from Rhenish Bavaria is up to the 16 th , on which day the Prussian troops had appeared in the vicinity of Durkheim and Neustadt , on the Hardt . On the 14 th there wai a collision at Kucheim , between some of the troops under General von Brun and a body of the insurgents . The latter were repulsed , with tbe loss of twenty killed Tbe Prince of Prussia and Prince Frederick Charles ( his nephew ) were present during the conflict . The column under the command of the former then pushed on as far as the little village of Mannheim , where the prince fixed his head-quarters early on the 15 ih .
