  FRANCE . Politics are at a stand-still in Paris , and were it not for the reviews at Versailles , and the split among the Legitimists , the editors of the newspapers would find it difficult to fill their columns . With respect to the reviews at Versailles , it may veil he conceived that * regarded as they are as an attempt on the part of LouisNapoleon to extend his popularity with the army , they excite considerable jealousy among all those who are opposed to the pretensions of aggrandisement attributed to the Pre-» deuL The Legitimists are fully as indignant as the Bepubiicana . The 'Union' alludes seriously to these levieWa as a demonstration of the gravest character .
  
  • An attempt is made / says that paper , 'to seduce the army by marks of attention ; it is caressed , exdted / ind encouraged to use cries in the midst of Us litiaiimw . It cries ' Tive Napoleon ! ' ™* » - pereurT wbicb are undoubtedly unconstitutional ; but which are excusable , because they are the result Of a passing emotion . The soldier is always disposed to We the person who regales him . B £ is never Bipgardiy of his vhats after a gala . The « Union , ' after thus exposing the means used to seduce the troops , asks if they are likely to he successful , and comes to a negative conclusion . ' A victorious general cdnld alone profit by these sympathetic transports ; a civil magistrate cannot profit by them * Besides , do these military feasts prove that the army
  
  is ready for a coup de main , or that it is determined to gag * ne representative ef France and to proclaim anew Caesar , by destroying- the constitution , and closing the doors of the National Assembly ? Seri-Onsly we do not think so / A long series of remarks fo llows , in which the ' Union' endeavours to prove that the period for coups ( Petal are long past , and that such practices are inapplicable to the present time ? . . Throughout the whole of its argument the * Union' assumes that the intention of Louis NapoleoTi and his partisans are to make use of unconstitutional-means against the Assembly to gain their objects but it prophesies that these efforts will be unsuccessful , though it looks upon the affair as one of considerable gravity .
  
  The « National' treats the affair differently . After describing the first part of the review on Thursday , it says : —' Between the acts we had precisely the Ume interlude a 3 on Sunday . Twelve loaves , twelve Bausagas , twelve bottles of champagne , and a large bundle of cigars were distributed among every twentv-five men ; and at the risk of being accused Of « iWng a puff , we will inform our readers that the Corks of the champagne had the seal of the house of Aoguste Bondril . Are the houses of Moet and Jacqussson in disgrace ? In afterwards filing past the President , the ardour of the troops was very greax , and on their return to Versailles the observers bad an opportunity of settling the question whether
  
  the authorities were not wrong in forgetting , when orgeuising the regimental schools , to consecrate a Chapter to the influence of sausages , of cigars , and of d-snipagne , on the appearance of troops , when on their march . Besides this , we may state that this 8 or : of exercise is not altogether displeasing to the troops ji-. The only one that has to complain is the cashier at the Elysee hut M . Fonld is so complaig ant . that he will-find the means of slipping this little supplementary demand among the expenses of the campaign . And why should the . Assembly refuse it ? Does it not fall within the system of the presidential policy that Louis Napoleon should be less a warrior than—a restaurateur ?'
  
  All this , howerer , does not prevent LouisNapoleon from proceeding with the reviews . An official notice has been issued at the Elysee , to the effect that the number of persons who daily present themselves at the palace , demanding audiences of the President of the Republic , is so great that it . interrupts bis attention to the public business , and that , in consequence of this , no one will be in future admitted without a letter of audience . The new law relative to the press continues to be a subject of embarrassment to the conductors of the Paris press . It threatens completely to upset many established reputations , and to bring forward a series of names hitherto unknown to fame . The Berlins ,
  
  VeionSj and others , who have acquired a name and reputation , not for what they have actually written , but because their names have been - affixed to their respective papers as redacleurs en chef gerans , mnst now yield to those who are the actual writers of the articles for which they have hitherto got credit . During the two months which have passed between the passing of the act and its coming into force , the gerants , who were quite alive to the blow aimed at them , exercised their utmost ingenuity to elude the Ian-, and various plans were proposed for that purpose . . Some proposed that the whole staff of editors should sign each particular article , while others
  
  proposed that only one article should be signed m each auaiber of the newspaper . The editors knocked the first of these plans on the head , and the Minister of Justice the second . The editors declared that , though they were willing to be responsible for their own frritings , they could not taðe responsibility of the wirings of their colleagues , and that it was impossible to get a whole staff of editors to agree on every subject discussed in a newspaper ; and the Minister of Justice intimated that he was determined to carry out the law strictly , and that all newspapers publishing articles on political , moral , or religious sub jecis , ' would certainly he prosecuted . Numerous other plans were proposed , but all were thrown aside
  
  for one- reason or another ; and when the time arrived for the law to come into execution , the gerans were as far from coming to a settled plan of action as on the day when the Tinguy amendment was first announced . The editors do not appear on this occa-Bion to have given any very efficient aid to the gerans , in their attempts to get rid of the difficulties of the law . On the contrary , they seem to have thrown every obstacle in the way of any plan which might tend * to its execution ; and it may rery reasonably be suspected that many of them did not regret the opportunity now given them of establishing a reputation by the publication of their names , and of stripping the gerans of their borrowed plumes .
  
  The * Coreaire' was seized in Paris on Saturday , by order of the Attorney-General of the Republic , in consequence of an article entitled ' Les Cesars , ' containing an offence against the President of the Republic . M . Courtois , who signed the article , and M . Laurent , the editor of the journal , are to be prosecuted . On Friday thirty-one persons were tried by the Court of Assize , on the charge of having formed i secret association for the destruction of the
  
  Republic and the restoration of the monarchy of the alder Bourbons . The chief of the society was a person named Adjutor Dubisson , who is inflight ; three of the accused were absent ; and Of the twenty-seven others who appeared eighteen had been admitted to bail . The indictment stated that the authorities , having obtained information of the existence of the society , caused papers to be seized it the residences of the persons implicated at Rouen , Imiens , Paris , Havre , and Caen . In all those
  
  places separate societies existed , but it appeared they were all branches of one great association , under one common direction ; that they communi . cated with each , other by means of letters or travellers , and corresponded -with a chief residing abroad . In each town in which a society was established there were chiefs charged to incorporate as many members as possible ,-to draw uplifts of all the members , and to send those lists to the common chief . According to the zeal displayed by the persons thus enrolling , different grades corresponding to those in the army were conferred on them , and many of them were paid in proportion . To secure members money was frequently given . Most of the members
  
  • were workmen in need of pecuniary assistance . The funds for this purpose were sent from abroad , chiefly from Brussels . In addition to the money actually paid , more was promised regularly in case of war ; recompenses of money and places were also offered in the name of the patron ( the Duke of Bordeaax ) to those who might distinguish tbernselvesinany demonstration which . might become necessary , and pensions were promised to the families of whose who might fall . Though the papers seized left ira doubt that the design of the conspirators was the elevation to the throne of the Duke of Bordeaux Jit did not appear that they had come to an agreement as to the period or mode of action , so
  
  that the offence of the accused did not amount to what the law describes as a plot , but simply to that of having formed a secret political society . The repliesofthe accused to the interrogatories threw iiiilelight on the affair ; some of them pretended rtatthe society was merely for the defence of e-rder ; Oibers that they did not know what hs object was ; eiheri explained the meaning of the terms used in the correspondence ; others stated the suras of monev they bad received or distributed ; and one or two declared that they had only joined the association because they were paid . They were found Guilty , and sentenced to imprisonment for six

  rent . The chagrin and vexation or the moderate section of the Count of Chambord > adherents is such as to threaten an . entire break up of the party . Already a section , whose views were represented in the press by * the \« Assembtee Nationale , ' have for the present laid aside their monarcbial ideas , and embraced the plan of supporting General Changarnier as a candidate for the presidency against Louis Napoleon . This is the new tack of those who were of late fusionists , but who now see no possibility of union with the Orleanists , after a manifesto which repudiates the main article of the political creed of the latter party . The Council of Prudhommes , o ? Marseilles , dissolved on the 16 th by decree of the President of the Republic , has protested agaimt that act of authority .
  
  A letter from Toulouse of the 25 th nit ., states that the differences existing between the master carpenters in that town and the operatives are about to be arranged . The Prefect of the Seine Inferieure has suspended from the exercise of their functions the Mayors of Hodenger , Mesnil , Esnard , and St . Marguerite . It i 3 said that a letter has been received in Paris , by a member of the Permanent Committee of the Legislative Assembly , from- an adviser of the Count de Chambord , disapproving of the circular of M . Barthelemy . The Bishop of London preached at Paris on Sunday to a numerous . congregation .
  
  Undismayed by the melancholy catastrophe that befel Lieutenant Gale , the aeronauts continue to invent new modes of attracting spectators . Instead of Monsieur Poitevin ascending on horseback , it is Madame Poitevin who now performs that dangerous feat . That lady made an ascent on Sunday from the Hippodrome , . dressed , en -Amazone , mounted on her white mare , her husband occupying the car . After having passed over Paris , and sailed amongst the clouds for a couple of hours , the adventurous couple descended safe and sound at some distance to the north of the capital . A Socialist banquet , intended to have been held at St . Pourcain ( Allier , ) was prevented by the anthorities , supported by the military .
  
  The examination into the affair of the disturbances of the Drome is being actively carried on . The leader of the affair , a man named Pascal , bis brother , and another individual known by the sobriquet of Graillon , have been arrested by the gendarmery of Loriol . The authorities had received information that a number of the rioters had taken refuge in the Department of the Ardeche , which , forming part of the 8 th Military Division , was beyond the regime ot the state of siege . They were besides informed that a clandestine manufactory of gunpowder , on a large scale , existed at Pouzin , in the bouse of a man named Soubeyran , a man of desperate character , and who had beeu heard to
  
  declare that the first gendarme or police agent who approached him should receive two balls through his body . General Lapene , who : commands in the Drome , arranged with the authorities of Ardeche . to put an end to this state of things , and an expedition was organised to advance on the place by both banks of the river , under the command of Commandant Oliver . This expedition arrived at Pouzin at an early hour in the morning , after having { invested in their way several of the neighbouring communes . The Prefect of the Ardeche was on the spot with several brigades of the gendarmery of his department . As early as five o ' clock in the morning the armed force presented itself at the bouse of
  
  Soubeyran , and , in the name of the laws , summoned him to open his door . A moment of silence followed , during which the cocking of a double barrel gun was distinctly heard . The door immediately after opened , and Soubeyran appeared with the weapon in his hand , but seeing the force with which he had to contend he appeared to hesitate , when the Prefect , rushed forward , laid hold ef him , and , presenting a pistol to his breast , summoned him to surrender . Soubeyran , however , by a sudden movement broke from his grasp , and , running to a win - dow which opened on the river , jumped into the Rhone and disappeared . Some soldiers immediately
  
  ran to the other bank to arrest him when he landed , but nothing more was seen , of him . On searching bis house a powder manufactory , completely organised , was found , and a great number of cartridges and several sacks of powder were seized . During this time several arrests were made on the opposite bank of the river by the gendarmery . The troops marched a distance of twenty-five miles during the night , and remained under arms a great part of the following day . By this expedition all the villages on the banks of the Rhone have been cleared of the parties who kept up a constant agitation in those parts . :
  
  Several journals having announced that the society of the Dix Decembre was in a state of dissolution , the ' National' contradicted the assertion , and stated that a meeting , of the members was to take place the same evening in the Rue St . Dominique , in the room of the Freres Ignorantiua . The meeting , in fact , took place , and the ' Pouvoir' published an account of the proceedings General Piat was in the chair ; M . Gallix , censor of the society , and formerly director of the journal the Dix Decembre , ' now the Pouvoir , pronounced an opening address . We omit the details given of the organisation of tbe mutual aid funds , and come to the part where M . Gallix announced that the society had en-registered 1 , 400 new adherents in twenty-five days .
  
  It is rumoured abroad that the existence of this society has appeared to the socialists . an excellent means of re-organisation , in order to be ready for every event . They in consequence get themselves enrolled as members , under cover of which they find a security which M . Carlier ' s police did not for a long time leave them . : . Two delegates of the Maronite population have arrived in Paris . They have come in the name of their countrymen of the Libanus to ask the French government for a concession of land in Algeria . This population has always been regarded as honest and industrious colonists , and their introduction into Algeria must be considered as highly desirable .
  
  The ' Aloniteur' publishes a decree of the President of the Republic , establishing , on the recommendation of the Minister of War , superior schools in Algeria for the education of natives who may become candidates for employment in the admins istration of public worship , justice , and public instruction . •¦ : ¦ : ¦ : ¦ ¦ ¦ ¦ — ¦ ¦ The Attorney-General caused the ' Assembles Nationale' to be seizedatthe post and at its own offices ,. in consequence of the publication of an article on the journey of M . Persigny to London , and highly offensive to the President of the Republic . . .
  
  DENMARK AND THE DUCHES . A return of the officers serving in the Holstein army states that one-balf of the commanders of brigades , battalions , and companies are Prussians ; a fourth are Scbleswig-Holsteiners who were formerly in the Danish service , and the- remaining fourth are from the different' S tates of Germany . General Von . Willisen , the Commander-in-Chief , was in the service of Prussia ; the Chef of the Staff , Colonel . Yon de . Tann , in that of Bavaria ; Major Stutterbeim , the sous chef , in that of Brunswickhe succeeded Major Wynecken , who was-: an Hanoverian officer ; the Prince of Augustenburg , also on the staff , was in the Danish : service ; two other staff officers are from Nassau . - The whole of the artillery is commanded by Colonel Von Wissel , an Hanoverian ; the commander of the cavalry was formerly in the Danish army . ' ' .
  
  An order has been issued at Rendsburg prohibiting any civilian from passing , out of the Schteswiggate ( to . the north ) to visit the camps or outposts of the army ; written permissions for . the same purpose are no longer given . As many Englishmen have come to Hamburgh for the sake of seeing the army in the field , it may save some disappointment-to state that unless they have special or professional business , and very good recommendations , they may go to Rendesburg , but will not be allowed to go out of it to . the north . . The reason alleged for issuing the order is that the permission to visit and inspect the positions has been abused . The Holsteiners do not like being visited as a show , as if the war was a spectacle got up for the amusement of the public , ' who are disappointed if every day does not furnish some exciting action or tableau .
  
  Active hostilities were recommenced by the Holsteiners on the 29 tu ult ., under the command of Colonel Von der Tann . They made a second attack on the town of Friedrichstadt . " Tonningen was taken by ,, the Schleswig-Holsteiners , after two hours' fighting . Friedrichstadt was . bombarded through the day . . Two of the trenches . were taken with the bayonet by the Holsteiners ,: and fourteen guns captured . The city was encompassed . " , > j , ¦ : . „¦;••¦ The Holsteiners had made 217 prisoners .

  AFFAIRS . The following despatch has heed addressed by Count Brandenburg , the Prussian minister , to Herr von Tbile , at Frankforfc-on-the-Maine . . 'In the first note which the royal government forwarded to that of the electorate ; under date the 12 th of the present month , we already pointed out that , at the present time , there existed in Germany no organ recognised on all sides , by which the complication existing in the electorate of Hesse can be solved . In the meanwhile , however , it has come to our knowledge that the electoral government has applied to the assembly of plenipotentiaries , of certain German Governments , which has assumed the name at Frankfort of diet of the confederation . .
  
  ' We hold it to be our duty on this subject to inform the electoral government that we do not recognise this assembly as the German diet , nor do we recognise it as the organ of the German union ; and we therefore most decidedly declare that . we cannot and will not recognise a ? legal acts any decisions which may be taken by the same , in the name of the union ,, or which the same may assume to be acts of tbe highest federal authority in reference to the affairs , of the electorate of Hesse . Further , that of whatever kind these acts may be , and considering the relations of a country , which apart from all other ; obligation , is placed as - regards its geographical position , in the nearest and most important relation to tbe Prussian monarchy , we reserve for the future any further decisien which maybe required by duty to Germany to our own country . ( Sighed ) Von Brandenburgh .
  
  HESSE CASSEL . Matters continue to assume a formidable and complicated aspect at Hesse Cassel . The resolution of the Frankfort Assembly to intervene in the passive revolution , in the first instance , by authorising the Elector to employ such coercive means as are at his disposal , in . order to enforce his ordinances of the 4 th and 7 th ult ., leaving . ulterior measures , in case of failure , to be determined upon , has produced no other effect on the standing committee , or , as it may be in / act called , tbe de facto power , than the most unequivocal resistance . The decree of the Federal Assembly was no sooner made known at Cassel than the committee drew
  
  up a protest against the same , declaring the Frankfort Assembly to be illegal , its resolutions invalid , and a | l acts tending to interference in tbe affairs of Hesse to be an attempt against the security and independence of a sovereign state . They further declared that they place themselves and country under the protection of the law of nations , and that they will oppose any attempt to enforce the decrees of the Federal Assembly by all constitutional means at their , disposal . . , . . . .. The Court-of Appeal of Greifswold has acquitted M . Hassenpflug of the charge : of forgery . brought against him—or rather it has reversed the condemnatory sentence o f the lower court .
  
  MECKLENBTJRG . SCH \ VERIN . v Matters in ¦ Mecklenburg-Schwerin seem to be progressing towards the ¦ same dissension bet « " en the duke and his people as in ¦ Hesse Cassel . The constitution sworn to by the Grand Duke on the 10 th of October , 1849 , has been violated by a mini teriii decree of the 14 th ult , abolishing it altogelln r , a id re-granting to the obnoxious nobility , o > junker , their old privileges and rights . The dejttties refused to obey what they considered an iilega act and intended to come : together on the 24 t 1 ult . at the appointed time , for the pnrpose of carrying on their deliberations . On the previous day , however , the president of the Chamber was seized by tbe police and carried to prison . The members belonging to the Left quitted Scuwerin immediately afterwards , and from , the village of Ostorf issued a
  
  protest , against . the illegal proceedings of the government . It is signed hy twenty-six members ,, and is distinguished by great moderation . The whole of the 'grand duchy is in a high stale of excitement , and the military force it possesses is in readiness to quell any disturbance at the first , sign of an outbreak . It will hardly be necessary , however , for them to act ; the population of Hessen have given so brilliant an example of tbe advantages of , passive resistance , and the Prussian troops are tco ¦ near the Mecklenburg frontier to render it likely that resistance will be attempted by the people . TheEngere Auschnss of the nobilty and landed proprietors , abolished for ever in 1848 , is to be re-opened on tbe 28 th ult , by a ducal commissioner , and one of their first measures . will be the immediate restoration of their feudal privileges to , their full extent .
  
  HESSE-DARMSTADT . On the afternoon of the 27 th ult ., immediately after the division on the question , of supplies , the Chamber . was dissolved by a sovereign edict . The proclamation speaks of a new election to take . place as soon as possible , but does not mention the existing electoral law . AUSTRIA .

The Austrian plenipotentiaries are diligently seeking a better man and the prince , is bitterly lamenting that he has to pay 4 , 000 thalers a year out of : his pocket for the services of a man who is always bringing : him into scrapeB . The squadron of the ¦ I 2 tu Hussars garrisoned here will leave in a few days for A ^ estphalia , and be replaced by a squadron of the 8 th Ulan Regiment . It is reported that Prussia is making iiRYf preparations to oppose the threatened
  
  intervention . , . The Bavarian corps in the neighbourhood of Aschaffenburg was . reinforced on the 24 th ult . by the arrival of a mixed field and flying battery ; with four squadrons of the 2 nd Regiment of Light Horse . Several ; battalions of infantry in the interior of Bavaria have received orders to hold themselves in readiness to march to the frontier .
  
  HANOVER . Letters from Hanover state that order 3 have been issued , to a brigade of troops , amounting to from four to ' five thousand men , to hold themselves in readiness for service in . case of need ; but , with the exception of one or two battalions , placed in observation along the Hessian frontier , no concentration has taken place . : BELGIUM . On the 25 th ult . the King . gave a grand dinner to the past and present members of both Chambers , in the Hall of Representatives , which was magnificently decorated for ' the occasion by the best Belgian artists .

  After the banquet had been removed , the King rose , the whole assembly imitating his , example . His Majesty , in a clear and firm voice , proposed the following toast : —* I propose with all my heart a toaat in honour of the-National Congress and of the legislatures who have consolidated this work . The future is unknown to us , gentlemen , but- we roust face with courage the difficulties with' which it may be fraught .

  ITALY . Advices from Rome are of a nature to indicate that the difference , which has arisen between the Papal and Sardinian Governments ib ae far from a solution as ever . The question , of the , Archbishop of Turin is complicated by the recent , events at Cagliari , where the Archbishop opposed tbe orders of his Government . As soon as what bad taken place at Cagliari was . made known at Rome , a council of cardinals was convoked , at which Pius IX . presided . The Sovereign Pontiff spoke in favour of conciliatory measures , butthe cardinals oppose anything like an arrangement , and insist upon severity .

  TUSCANY . .: , . ; . , The ' Monitore Toscano ' ,, publishes two important grand-ducal decrees , dated Florence , September 21 st and 22 nd , The first'inns as follows : — i ' We , Leopold II ., &c , considering that the political circumstances of Europe , and especially those of Italy and Tuscany , have not permitted and do not permit us , for the present , to restore that system of representative government , which , granted by us in February 1848 , was afterwards overthrown by revolutionary / violence in February 1849 , and which we nevertheless declared it was oar intention to revive , so as not to . incur a renewal of . similar scenes of disorder ' . considering that , under , the imperative
  
  influence of the aforesaid circumstances , it , is not possible to define the period when the present pre > carious state of things may cease ; , lastly , considering that it is meanwhile indispensable to provide speedily and efficaciouBiy . for the better administration of the country , and the consolidation of order and public tranquillity , retaining as far as trie time will permit , ' the principles sanctioned by the statute , —we have decreed a decree as , MIowb : —Art . 1 .

  . . SPAIN . . The triumph of ibe dominant parly in the recent elections has been so complete , that its organs in the press contend that there can be properly no party-or political opposition in the next Congress ; in which more . than , nine-tenths of the deputies elect are persons professing the same political opinions . It is therefore indicated : that the next session is to be peculiarly devoted to , important administrative and economical questions , which the ' Epoca' sums up "! us : ^ % ¦ - ¦ ¦

  H OVA SCOTIA . The » Nova : Scbtian , ' of the 19 th ult ., states : — 'We learn that our enterprising countryman , C . D , Archibald Grey , will probably have 600 tons . of Londonderry iron ready for shipment this autumn . It is positively asserted that this splendid article will command £ 40 per ton in the British market . ' From the same journal we learn the mackerel fishing for the season bad begun welL , 1 The Pictou mineshave again , ' says the ( Halifax ) 1 Morning Chronicle , " ' been the scene of a most serious occurrence , but happily unattended with loss of life . On Tuesday last , a large portion of the roof of the Albion mines g 8 ve way , destroying about thirteen acres of the workings . , The ' Eastern Chronicle'thus describes the affair :
  
  1 For some days past the workmen had observed symptpns of weakness in some portions of , the roof , indicated by the falling off places and flanks of . the coal from the top and . sides of the workings . The necessary precautions to prevent any accide » fc , were immediately resorted to by Mr . Poole , in sending down large props that were used in supporting the roof in such places as there was any suspicion attached to but on Tuesday morning last , about eight o ' clock , when the workmen , were , on the surface at the breakfast hour , a . large portion of . theroof fell in and completely , choked up the workings ,. burying beneath it all the workmen ' s tools , and the railway : laid down from the various boards to the
  
  shafts . The extent of the workings thus destroyed is . about thirteen acres , and so far . aa an opinion can now : be ., f 6 rmed , not only this , but those portions of the mines not fallen in , must be abandoned , as the l&tter could not be ; worked . with ,, any , degree of . safety in consequence of the , foul air which will immediately accumulate in the part thus destroyed . . This circumstance , unfortunate though it may he , will not materially interfere with the company ' s business in the way of shipping coal . There is now a sufficient quantity of the article , on the banks to answer all orders during the season ,, and the , new ; shafts lately sunk about half a mite from the other , have been for
  
  some time raising coals . There is also a road from the new shafts to the old railroad about one third of a mile in length , all gravelled and completed ready for the laying down of the rails , so that there need be no apprehension of the company not being able to supply any demand that may offer . The surface of the ground shows no evidence of the commotion which , has , taken place below , except in a variety of cracks or fissures , varying from the smallest perceptible space to . four or five inches in width , and in some instances the cracking of the walls and ceiling of some of the workmen ' s houses . The dwellings near the "sunken part were at first abandoned by the inmates , but we understand they are again occupied . '
