FRANCE . [ The 'Debats created great excitement by publishing a cir cumstantial account of arrangements ' . by members at the Society of the Dis Decemdre , to : assassinate General Gbangarnier and M . Dnpin , . President of the Assembl y . M . Dnpin , who is very ' brave when supported by a tyrannical majority , in putting down the members of the Left , took fright and shut himself up ; a deputation from the 'Committee of Permanence waited on the Minister of the Interior to remonstrate with him , and instant inquiry was made into the truth of the report thus authoritatively made public . The Constitutionnel ' the next day denied the whole story as a wine
shop fabrication , having not the slig htes t foundation in truth . M . Carlier , Prefect of Police , published a distinct denial , and suspended the pay of M . Yon , the Commissary of Police , to the Assembly , who had given the information on the authority of two of his agents . It appears that M . Yon holds Bis position independent of the Prefect and the Elysee ; and M- Dnpin proposes . to back up the police officer of the assembly by passing a special vote to pay him his salary . Ano ther indication of the bad feeling between the Executive and Legislature p owers . The celebrated Society of the Die Decembre is at length definitely dissolved by a decree of the Government . Founded by the most intimate
friends of Louis Napoleon , under the pretence of being an institution for the mutual relief of its members—patronised by the President himselfhaving the President ' s aides-de-camp , his physician , - and his most devoted adherents as its leading members—the Society of the Six Deeembre devoted itself to the propagation of Napoleonist ideas . Its acts of charity were never heard of ; but the public cannot have forgotten the zeal with which its members watched the return of Louis Napoleon from Straahurg , from Cherbourg , and from Satory , to salute him as Emperor ; the violence which they used towards the casual public , who refnsed to join
in the cry of « Vive l'Empereur ! ' and the ardour with which their emissaries disseminated and obtained signatures in the provinces to petitions , praying for a prolongation of the' President ' s powers . The proceedings of the dub have been so frequently ex p osed , that the prorogation committee of the Assembly , on several occasions , remonstrated with the Minister of the Interior on the subject , and demanded the dissolution - of the society , on the ground of its illegality . M . Baroche , in the name of the Government , invariably refused . An association got up for the propaga tion of Bonapartism was not to be classed with the Socialist dabs ; and tbe
Minister declared distinctly that the Government would not take any step for the dissolution of the Society of the Dix Deeembre . All this happened in the times when * perseverance' was the order of the day . Since then matters have changed : tbe Bonapartist Minister of War has been sent to Algeria ' . the President has allowed himself to be bearded by General Changarnier ; and orders of the day , forbidding the troops to give expression to their feelings , even if these feelings were those of devotion to Louis Napoleon have been issued ; and when tbe President of the Republic expressed his determination to get rid of the general who issued those orders , his Ministers declared , coolly , that if he did
so they wonld desert him , and join the enemy . Besides this , the day of reckoning had arrived . The Assembly was about to meet , and the prorogation committee , which had been narrowly watching the proceedings of Louis Napoleon himself as well as of his partisans , had a long score to settle . Tbe proces verbal of tbe committee for the last two months , if laid before the Assembly in its present shape , wonld-amount to an impeachment of the Ministry , if not of the President himself , and would produce an agitation which would probably end in bis ruin . The danger was , if possible , to be avoided ; and the first measure of conciliation attempted was the sacrifice of the Societe duDix Deeembre .
The Court of Appeal of the Seine on Saturday confirmed the decision by which the tribunal of correctional police declared itself competent in tbe affair of the signatures of articles in tbe journals . The case will now be brought before the Court of Cassation . On Saturday the < Mode , ' a Legitimist journal , was brought before the Court of Assizes for a libel on the President of the Republic . The author of the article , M . de Besselievre , was acquitted , but the gerant , M . Voillet , was found guilty , and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and a fine Of 2 , 000 f . On Monday tbe Assembly resumed its sittings . Upwards of 500 members were present . Tbe proceedings were merely formal .
The Italian opera was opened under tbe manage , ment of Mr . Lnmley , the lessee of the English Italian Opera House , on Saturday night . Tbe tbeatre was attended by tbe President , and all the notabilities in Paris , and the reopening of the house , which has been all but closed since the Revolution of 1848 , was hailed as an agreeable symptom of a etnrn to more settled times . A much greater sensation was produced on Monday by an ingenious satire than the re-opening of the Assembly .
The Presse * published a document entitled' Message of the President of the Republic to the Legislative Assembly / and signed L . N . Buonaparte . People stared at first to see this extraordinary appa . rent forestalment of an official document which had not yet been submitted to the presses of the national printing-office , and which was known to be guarded with the most jealous secrecy . Under the successive beads of Internal Policy , Taxe 3 and Budgets , Laborious Glasses , Agriculture , Industry , Commerce , Instruction , Laws , the most radical principles appeared clothed in a rhetorical garb unknown to tbe official school . Still it was not easy to account for the name of the President being attached to a document so manifestly apacrypbai . Tbe fact is that M . Girardin had got together a heap of pamphlets , published at various epochs bv M . Louis Napoleon Buonaparte ,
and taking a pair of scissors cut thereout and wafettd together this notable pseudo message , significant of tbe changes which have come over the mind of Louis Napoleon since lie has been installed in the presidential chair . This ingenious centone was the sole talk of Paris , and great was tbe buzzing of the Bourse over the singular production . The sensation pro . duced in high regions , as the phrase is , was of vehement displeasure . Official contradictions were forwarded to tbe papers and to the Bourse . The Presse' was seized both at tbe office and the post , and its conductors are to be prosecuted gerant of the Presse , ' under tbe inculpation of having published , with bad faith , false news , and a document forged and mendaciously attributed the same to a third party ; which news and document were of a nature to disturb tbe public pesce .
We dare say tbe President deeply regrets having been so foolish or so honest as to write bis celebrated pamphlet The Extinction of Pauperism . ' His own Socialist writings are tbe strongest condemnation on the mean , selfish , and petty policy he ha 3 pursued since he attained power , mainly in consequence of his holding these opinions . The President ' s message had already been put under press , when it was determined , in consequence of the appearance of the mock message in the Presse , * to effect some alterations , with , the view of rendering the profitmongers and capitalists more certain that Louis Napoleon does not mean to meddle with tbe system by which they draw the life blood from industry .
The speech was read on Tuesday by M . Baroche , Minister of tbe Interior . The parts of the message most applauded by the majority were the paragraphs relative to the restoration of Pins IX . to the Pontifical Throne , the nomination of three new French Cardinals , the pacific and moderate tone of foreign policy , the friendly feeling towards England , and in particular the moderate and disinterested manner in which the President alluded to the revision of the Constitution which he was bound by oath to respect . This last part was received with loud applause , which was continued long after I he Minister ceased reading . TLs demeanour ot the Opposition was moderate .
GERMANY . "Re asj » -ct of affairs has been totally altered , and rr w- -A nsora menacing by the death of CountBraiu <} .-. urj , the President of the Prussian Ministry , and the supporer of tbe absolutist cause in opposition to M . Radowiiz , the representative of the const lutional party , whose retirement we noticed last week . The death of the Count , who was natural uncle to the king , is said to have been has tened by disputes with the king , and by his reproaches for the part he bad taken at the Conference at Warsaw , when Russia and Austria ontwitied him . The immediate result of his death was a reversal ef his policy with respect to the hostile and aggressive policy of Austria . The ministry adopted a warlike attitude . Radowita was closeted with the king . The army was ordered to be mobilised , and prepared for ac . ive hostilities , and the Landwehr was ordered to

be called out , making an addition to the already numerous mass of armed , meniww maintained by Tumours have reached this country of skirmishes between the outposts of the' two hostile armies in Hesse , and tbe prospect of an European war is imminent . ' The news created a panic among the speculators on the Bourse at Berlin , but the correspondent of the ' Daily News' s » ys : — ' The public received the intelligence , which was announced officially by the' Deutsche Reform , ' with absolute rejoicing . In reality this joy , and the hopes which the prospects of actual hostilities have excited in the bosoms of tbe hundreds of thousands of armed men , . ,
whose swords are ready to rush from their scabbards at the mere word of command , rouse vague apprehensions of the consequences if their joy should be destroyed , and their hopes be rendered vain , by another submission en tbe part of Prussia to the arrogant demands of Austria . I do not believe that this will be the case : the intentions of the ministry are lo take their ground on the position they at present bold , aud to abide the consequences . Their acts speak for themselves . The summoning of the Land wehr of the first class , a body of 140 , 000 men ( in fantrv . ) with 20 , 000 men ( cavalry ) and 928 pieces
of artillery , and of part of tbe Landwehr of the second class , 400 men of each battalion , but not the cavalry , are military measures taken only when war is no longer inevitable , and when the most energetic proceedings are necessary to prevent its commencing unfavourably . The standing army of Prussia , with the Landwehr of the first class and the portion of the second class which has been summoned , will now amount to four hundred thousand men , with upwards of 2 , 000 pieces of cannon . A tolerably respectable force , with which to take the field and bold it , if tbe financial means be provided .
Unless Prince Swharfzenberg recalls bis demand for the withdrawanee of the Prussian , troops from Hesse a war must ensue . Tbe other German states are all making military preparations . . ¦ ¦ The affairs of Scbleswig Holstein do not appear to have in the slig htest degree progressed towards a settlement . . ' ' * . ¦ - > Gottfiried Kinkell , the eminent and patriotic Professor of Bonn who was sentenced to death for the share he took in tbe Baden insurrection , and bas since been kept in dose confinement has , we rejoice to state , escaped from tbe House of Correction at Spandau . Intercession had been made with the King of Prussia to obtain his pardon , or his removal to a fortress , as there were doubts whether
his imprisonment among thieves and murderers was legal , tbe secondary punishment for treason being , as in Austria , imprisonment in a citadel , with or without fetters . But the authorities were inexorable , and the poet and professor w&s treated with tbe utmost strictness , clad in the convict ' s dress , denied the nse of books or writing materials , and compelled to spin a certain quantity of wool daily . Little had been heard of him since his removal to Spanda , but his friends had not lost sight of him , for from the manner of his escape he must have had assistance from without . On his cell being opened this morning it was found empty , and a rope hanging from the window showed that he had descended by it to the ground . .
In Hanover the open collections of money for the war in Sehlesvrig Holstein have been forbidden . Negociations were going on between the hostile governments , with a view to prevent war . The ' Cologne Gazette , ' under date Vienna , Nov . 8 th , says that the ultimatum of Austria is tbat she will agree to the free conferences if Prnssia will bind herself to the following stipulations : —1 . To evacuate Hesse Cassel within a week ; 2 . To evacuate Hamburg within six weeks ; and 3 . Solemnly and formerly to renounce the union . . While the diplomatists were discussing their points actual war commencrd , as might ; have been foreseen , between the rival armies that have been poured into Hesse .
Letters have been received from Fulda , according to which the first shots have been fired on two points . The Bavarian soldiers , cavalry , advanced with sheathed sabres . The officer commanding tbe Prussian outposts demanded the meaning of this proceeding , and requested tbe troops to bait . The Bavarians replied by laughter . Two warnings were then given on the Prussian side , and as , notwithstanding , the Bavarians still advanced and came
within 300 paces of the opposite force , the Prussians fired . Several Bavarians fell , the remainder retired . Tbe village was tben evacuated by the Prussians , and occupied by the federal troops . A Bavarian picquet , sent to reconnoitre the village on another side , was repeatedly fired on by the Prussian hussars , wbo , however , did it no serious harm . In consequence of the renewed warlike demonstration of Prussia Saxony has also resumed her armament .
The intelligence from Stnttgart is important . On tbe 7 th the Assembly of tbe Estates was dissolved by an order from tbe King , upon its refusal to vote a sum of 300 , 000 florins to put the army upon a war footing . The proposition was rejected by fifty-two voices against five . When the result of the division was known Baron von Linden ascended the tribune , and took the order for the dissolution of the Assembly ont of his pocket . It was to the effect tbat the Extraordinary Assembly of tbe Estates was dissolved and its authority in every respect at an end—that the old Committee of Deputies of the last regular Diet , which was in action before the 10 th of Aug ., 1849 , was again to step into action , As soon as the
terms of tbe dissolution were known a very stormy scene ensued . The President Schoder said , ' I reject this violation of the constitution , by virtue of which the old committee is called into action , and I summon the members . to elect a committee out of tbeir own body . ( Scbnitaer , a member , called out , ' The constitution is violated . *) Loud cries of 'Bravo ' at the President ' s proposition resounded through the hall . Baron von Linden then said , ' I warn the Assembly not to venture upon any illegal steps . This Assembly is dissolved , and its authority is at an end in every respect . ' When he had said this the Minister left tbe hall . There was question of calling in the troops to send tbe members a . packing , but nothing was done , and they proceeded quietly to elect their committee for guarding the constitution
intact . The town was quiet all the evening , but tbe troops were confined to their barracks in . case of tumults . This is of course but a sample oj the measures which are impending in every state in Germany should the present military attempt on the part of Austria to restore the previous state of things prove successful—tbat is to say ; simply and purely so , without tbe introduction of safeguards which arc not as yet foreseen . As soon as a German Court feels that it has military strength on its side , and finds itself incumbered by the action of a Chamber which was only tolerated in troublesome times , we may judge from tbe conduct of the Court of Stuttgart what coarse it will adopt . It is the conviction of the profound insincerity of the Courts which gives vigour to the Prussian cause throughput ; the Rhenish provinces .
The ' Cologne Gazette' has , two telegraphs from B erlin—one dated on the morning of the 12 Noyjnd the other in the evening of the same day . The first states that the last intelligence received there wa 3 to the effect that Hanover had protested against the march through that country of the Austrian troops on their , way to Holstein . It adds , The situation becomes very serious . ' The second despatch states that the ' Russian military divisions were in motion towards the west , with a view to the occupation of Austria ' s eastern provinces , in the event of war . . : " ¦¦' . '¦ " Field-Marshal Radetski was expected in Prague with 50 , 000 men . -
A letter from Cassel , dated November 11 , states tbat Hersfeld , the position of the Prussians at the date of the last intelligence , had been abandoned by them . This opens the way to Cassel to the Austrians and Bavarians . . The' Frankfort Journal' states that the federal t : onps will march immediately from Fulda to Cassel . Dates from Vienna of the 10 th state that on the previous day four heavy cavalry regiments departed for the Silesian army , while frontier battalions passed through almost daily for Bohemia .
The Frankfurter Oberpostamts Zeitung' argueB tbat war may be somewhat less imminent than some suppose , from the fact that no orders have been received for the mobilisation of the Thuringian contingent . The entire frontiers of Coburg were occupied by Austrian troops , to the number of 20 , 000 , with forty guns . The papers are full of accounts of movements of troops in all directions ! A telegraphic despatch from Vienna , November 9 , states tbat the modified Austrian ultimatum sent to Prussia required the giving up of the union , and granted free conferences with the acknowledgment of the Bundestag .
The 'Kolner Zeitung' states ,, from Carlsrube , that the division of Baden . among- the south German Powers has been agreed upon in the Conference at BreRenz . • •• The < Deutsche Zeitung aus Bohmen' says that the

j ROME . ; : : ¦ : While th 6 aggressive policy of . the Pope is producing so much excitement in this country , hi * power is clearly decreasing in his own capital . The correspondent of the 'Daily News' under dateof the 4 th inst ., 8 Bys : — , . ¦ ; i I have just witnessed the state procession of his Holiness to the church of San Carlo , this morning . There were a good number of spectators , but all observed a dead silence as the Pope passed . French infantry occupied the piazza , sMrri and police were in great abundance , and the carriage of his Holiness was preceded and followed by an . unusually strong escort ' of noble guards . French , dragoons and gendarmerie , Roman cavalry and ¦ carabinieri . It is melancholy to see the pastor visit his flock with such a threatening array .
It was especially observed-this morning that no one went oa bis knees to implore the papal benediction , and but a few of the bystanders . took off tbeir hats as the sovereign cortege passed , in consequence of which coldness his Holiness chiefly occupied himself in blessing the French troops . Could he but have beard the remarks of the crowd , he would have bad enough to reflect upon during his ride homewards to tbe Vatican ; but no doubt he is sufficiently well-informed ¦ of all that goes on . It is a fact , and a lamentable one too , that a feeling of deep and settled resentment prevails between Pio Nqno and his subjects / On the part , of the people this feeling has originated in the destruction
of liberty , tbe imposition of grinding taxes , and the oppression of foreign troops , attributable to the restored government ; whilst the Pope ' s vanity has been too profoundly wounded for him ever to pardon those who not only dethroned him , but laughed at him and all his cardinals into the bargain . Hence springs the merciless disposition pervading all his present actions . A conversation which Cardinal Ugolini had with bis Holiness two days ago displays this feeling more strongly than any observation on my part . The cardinal introduced the subject of the new taxes , in the hope of mitigating the Pope ' s resolution in some measure , but his Holiness soon pnt an end to the discussion by stating that he was well aware of the discontent and ill-humour that the measure had produced , but that takes were
necessary , that they were imposed in every . country in the world , and that , however reluctant his subjects might be in the beginning , they would pay as quietly as passible in the end . This remains to be seen ; meanwhile , the Romans have recourse to their usual weapons , those of satire . The last pasquinade which has appeared on the walls of the city is of rather a warning tone . It is as follows : — " Antonelli , Antonelli ! . Uontoccar i poverelli ! ; Che bo tu li toccherai Non arrivi a Carnevale ! " . . "Antonelii , Antonelli , touch not the poor ¦! ,: " ,. If you touch them you'll never see Carnival ' more ! " ¦
SPAIN . At the first sittings of the Cortes , some sharp debating took place upon the wholesale bribery and ntimidation employed by the government at the elections . During tbe election some electors , bad their houses searched and their persons arrested , under the pretext tbat they had been smuggling , in order to prevent them from going to the poll .
TURKEY . . - ; _ At ten in the morning of the 23 rd of October , the 120 gun ship , Neiri-Shefket , carrying the Admiral ' s flag , blew up in the Golden Horn . Of ^ 00 men . who were on board , only 200 bodies bad been picked up . The ' Journal de Constantinople ' of the 24 th thus describes this appalling accident : —' Yesterday ( Wednesday , ) about ten in the morning , a frightful explosion shook the whole port ; The
three-decker , Neiri-Shefket , of 120 guns , bearing the admiral ' s flag , blew up in the part of the port situated below tbe arsenal in the midst of the whole Ottoman fleet , The powder magazine had caught fire . In a few minutes the port was strewn with fragments of the ship mixed with dead bodies . Tbe ship remained for five minutes rocking before sbe went down , and then sank , leaving only her maintopgallant mast above water . Between six and seven hundred men were on board the admiral's ship when this dreadful catastrophe , of which the causes are still unknown , took p lace . About 200 bodies have been picked up . '
AMERICA . .. . By the last steamer we have advices to , the 29 th ait . ' . : : '¦ ' : ' .. The news from Mexico reach to the 20 th . ult . The Presidental election had been held , but the returns , which were beginning to come in freely , do not yet show who has been the successful candidate . According to present appearances , the choice lies between Almonte , who was supported by the extreme Federal or Democratic party , and probably received the votes of the State of Mexico , and Arista , belonging to the Moderate Republican school of
politics , and sustained by the whole government influence . The votes in his favour are less than was expected , although it is supposed by some that . his election has been secured . . It is not improbable that the election may terminate in a revolution . In case of the success of Almonte , it is stated that Arista would endeavour to establish the independence of the North-eastern States under the name of the Republic of the Sierra Madre , in which portion of the country he is very popular , although the States composing it have always . adhered to the Federal politics represented by Almonte ..
The ravages of the Indians on the North-eastern frontier have excited the attention of the Mexican government , which is about to take vigorous measures for their suppression . Don Tomas Murphy has been appointed Minister to Great Britain , in place of Dr ., Mora . The railroad between Vera Cruz and Sao Juan was opened on the 16 th of September . -.-. ' . . The latest accounts from Cuba state that on the 7 tli and 8 th inst . seventeen persons , all Cubans , were arrested by the new Governor of Matanzas , on the charge of being spies and revolutionists . They are some of the most wealthy and conspicuous , persons on the island . A part of them succeeded in escaping from the prison in which they had been confined , and the : rest have since been released by order of the Captain-General . r
The Dominican government are making active preparations to repel tbe expected invasion by the Haytiens . under the Emperor tfaustin I ; The Dominican . fleet , . which consists , of . one ship , one barque , three'brigs , and a large number of schooners was being put in order for actual service ; the fortifications were undergoing repairs ; and . every male inhabitant capable of military duty had been enrolled . The commaud of ( he army was entrusted to Santa Anna ; who . had entered upon his functions '
with great zeal . There was no want of arms or ammunition . The acknowledgment of the' independence , of tbe Republic of St Domingo , in the treaty recentl y ratified with England , was celebrated by a public dinner ) ' at which the President of . the Republic occupied the chair , and the British Consul was present . In the course of a speech by the latter , it was stated that England would not interfere in the approaching ' struggle with Hayti . "
The excitement with regard to the Fugitive Slave Law still continues strong in the Northern States ' . It has been denounced , ia the severest terms- by , the several religious bodies , and the citizens , have been recommended , ' on principles of conscience ,- not to comply with " its provisions . ' Every attemptrto put the law in execution has been met with general expressions of public , indignation . In Boston'tbe opponents of the law have organised a' large and active Committee of Vigilance , for the purpose of extending protection to the fugitive , and throwing every obstacle in the way of executing the law . Several civil officers have refused to aid the Marshal in making arrests . Still , a number of fugitives , in dread of being captured , have fled to Canada .
The country was still in the midst of the excitement caused by the elections . Each party were using the most strenuous exertions for the success of their respective . tickets . ' The most important item of news supplied by the Californian papers is the failure of two extensive establishments—one an old and respectable concern ; the other a large banking-house . The causes of these failures are eaid to arise out of the late fires , and the consequent check given to all business affairs . . Tbe accounts from the mines were highly cheering ; the precious ore continued abundant .
