An eminent medical man pronounced it as a very bad case of scrofula , and prescribed for a considerable time without effect . The disease then for years went on gradually increasing in virulence , when besides the ulcer in the neck , another formed below the left knee , and a third under the eve hesides seven ptliora on the left awn , with a tumour between the eyes which was expected to break .

      FRANCE . Last Wednesday the As-embly discussed the pro-Dsition submitted by M . Langiunais , the reporter I the committee of the Assembl y . M . de Las * jyrie ffi 3 de a very successful attack on the ministry , eing one of the members of the committee of ' ennanence . His great paint was the society of ie Dix Deeembre , which he described as an oranised array , but said that it was not dangerous , ecaurf General Cbangarnier commanded ihe army-[ e next alluded to the seditious cies at the reiews of Sartory , and described how all military iscipliue had been defied in the bauquets g iven t the Elvsee , by the mixture of officers and

      noncommissioned officers at the same table . He did not Waraa the President for this—( ironical laughs ) •—because the President was not a military man , and thrrefore mi g ht he supposed not to know much about the . rules of the service , but his chief aide-decamp , Co ! oaeIYaudrey , ? as present and might have knowa better . He concluded b ? alluding to the dismisial of General Neumayer , which he strongly Condemned . At the opening of the sitting on Thursday Col . Vaudrey first ascended the tribune , and declared that the assertions of M . de Lasteyrie were false and calumnious , as far as he was concerned .

      M . Lsmulier said that the document read b y M . de Lasi eyrie touching the organisation of the society of the Dis-Ddcembre had never emanated from that body . M . Flaxdin , taember of the minority of the Commiuee , attacked the report . He maintained that tha President had wade proper use of a constitutional ri ght in dismissing General Changarnier ; and attacked the chiefs of ihe majority for their visits to Claremont and Wiesbaden

      H . Leode Labirde and M . Thiers demanded to speak . The latter insisted on answering immediately , amid cries of « Order ; ' 'Let ihe speaker in the tribune go on ; ' ' Hinder him . ' M . iFlandin , resuming , remarked ihe presence of three delegates from the court of Wiesbaden in the Committee of Permanence ( MM . Berrytr , Leo de Labjrde , and larochejacquelln . ) He justified the suppression of the command of the army of Paris , citing the words

      of General Cavaignae , and wondering the measure had no ' , been taken long before . Did they want a mayor of the palace ? It would be a bad inauguration oi the republic to iusial a faineant President . The successes even obtained byjthe cabinet , owing * othe intervention of General Changarnier , were flo v ii ' . iatin g as t 0 resenible checks rather thas successes . ij e eaded with coudemni : ig the resolution of the committee .

      After some time M . Beruyer , occupied the tribune . He should explain himself on his conduct in particular , and state the motives which determined him to vote against the government . He reminded the house of the sensation caused in the Assembly nnder the former government , by the dismissal of " a che f de division ( M . Drouvn de Lhuys ) . He regarded the dismissal of General Changaruier as a change of policy , which mi ght be attended with the most fatal results . He saw great danger in the mptureoftlie majority , to whose union the return of prosperity had been mving . He considered the

      position of ihe country as a transition , and the message itself spoke of it in this light . There were in ihat Chamber a considerable number of royalists , and he ms a royalist himself . ( Long interruption ) . He had ben monarchist during fifiy-ei ghtyears ; nor had ht changed in assuming the mandate of a repre * Eentative . Nevertheless he had rallied with all his srrengih to the majority in order to save the country . He demanded that the ties of the majority should now be strengthened h y a common resolution . ( Berryer ' s speech was thought ineffective , andbelew the mark ) .

      M . Lamartine now ascended the tribune . He declared that he would stand by the flag of the Republic . Having blamed the Committee for reviving the disputes of the recess , after a message which was accepted by the most thoroag h-going republicans , M . de Lamartine was met by an emphatic « No , ' from M . Charras . M . Charras , having been called to order , was supported by the Mountain en masse ; whom M . Dupin called collectivel y to order . Give your names ( he said ) to the Moniteur , ' and the country will jud Reyou . ' M . Lamartine continued his panegyric of the republic , and maintained that it KflS the partisans of M . d " e Remusai ' s proposition who did their best to crash the parliamentary system . He concluded by an appeal to all the different par . ties of the Assembly to unite iu saving the republic , by rejecting the resolution of the Committee .

      ^ General Changarnier then proceeded to occupy the tribune , aud spoke amidst the deepest signs of attention . He said that when the government which preceded that of the President of the Republic established its head-quarters at the TulUeries , the puiks which still divide France were alread y in existence . There were the moderate republicans , " the monarchists of tradition , the constitutional monarchists , the demagogues who masked themselves under other nara ? s , and the men who wanted the imperial dictatorship stripped of the glory and genius of the man whose fame yet filh the world . ( Movement ) . He had refused to be the instrument of any partv . He

      haa wished what all honest people wished , the execution of the laws , the revival of commerce , industrial activity , the security of Paris—of all Franc , and he had the proud satisfaction of having contributed a little to the attainment of these benefits . ( Prolonged applause ) . Notwithstanding odious insinuations propagated by ingratitude , he had declined to follow any faction , anv conspiracy , any eo » - spirateur . ( Cheers ) . The two parties which he had last mentioned ( the demagogues and imperialists ) bad vowed against him a hatred which he had vrell deserved—( smiles and approbation )—and which ,

      for his honour , survived even his fall . ( Cheers ) , He miahi have forstalled that fall by his resignation ! which could have been well received . But were those who thought he ought to have given his resignation quite sure that his course had not been useful to them ? ( Movement ) . His sward was condemned to a momentary repose , but it was not broken , and if the country ever had need of it , it would find it again full of davotion and obedience to a patriotism proof against all trials , of a devoted heart and of a firm mind , which disdained the tinsel of false grandeur . ( Prolonged applause ) .

      M . Thiers next spoke , and went into a long explanation of his idea of the Republic . He saiil that he had accepted the republic without arriere pensee , and that the first cries of « Vive r Emperor ' had broken that truce which had hitherto bound all parf . es together for the welfare of France . He then alluded to the dismissal of Cbanganiier , and said that by such conduct the government exposed itself to the reproaches of ingratitude , and to the distrust of the Assembly , and yet in spite of that knowledge it did not hesitate . It was irapossibia but that the assembl y should regard this fact as one of great importance and it was with that

      feeling that he ascended the tribune ih spite of himself . The government had said that it had no intention a ^ iinst the assembly ; he believed it , for the assembl y had not resisted it . He concluded by saying : We shall see when it will do so ; until that time I shall retain all my doubts . You make us fear a conspiracy ; you wish that the asssmhlv should yield , without which the executive pow . 'r according to your account , will be humiliated . It is for the power which commenced the attack en the other to draw hack , for if the power attacked were to do so it would be lost . ( Applause . ) There are now two powers in the state , the executive and the legislative ; if the assembly now vields therp

      "will only be one power—then the form of government will have been changed , the empire will exist . ( Immense cheers . ) On Saturday the close of the general debate was put to the vote and adopted . The President of the Assembly then read the several amendments . M . „ ' t t ? % ™* rt tbe priority of his aa > e » d . Baroche said that the tZrnZ ^^ I" „?* ft&JSfiSgB WJ sL ^ B ^ r 'A ? strn .,. 1 ,. nn » n , . i » i .: .. Beav e . M .

      There was , therefore , a majority of 129 against ministers . The amendment of M . St . Beuve is as follows : — T he Assembly declares that it has not confidence n the ministry , and passes to the order of the day . ' Immediately on the rising of the Assembly , the Ministers went to the Elvsee and placed their resi gnations iu the hands of the President of the Republic , which he has accepted , but they will continue to carry on affairs until the formation of a new

      roinutrj-No new ministry has yet been appointed . Of course there are many rumours afloat , which embrace M . 0 . Barrot as the basis of the new ministry . The secret societies seem to have taken advantage of the crisis to begin stirring . On Tuesday night , at nine , as the'Union of Communes , ' was assembled with the Association of Caoks , at the Barriere Pigale , several brigades , headed by a commissary of police , invested the house of meeting and arrested thirty-six individuals . On Wednesday morning twenty mare were added to the arrested . Several pipers of a socialist character were seized . Since the separatiou of the National Guard from the chief command of Gmsral Changarnier , eighteen officers of the staff have resigned .

      SWITZERLA D . The government of Berne ( says a letter from that city of the 14 th ) having lately determined to take measures respecting the political refugees , called , a few days ago , on a Prussian Jew , named Basswitz , who had been established at St . Imiar since 1837 , to produce a certificate of his origin and other papers , but he was not able to do so , and ordere were given to him to leave the canton . During many years he had made himself very popular among the poor , by giving them medical advice and assistance gratuitously , he being a physician . la political opinion he is a great Radical , and has not only already laboured to spread

      his opinions in Switzerland , but has been in constant communication with the chiefs of the parly in different countries . On receiving the order to leave , he attempted to induce the authorities of Neufchatel or Soleure to grant him the rights of citizenship , but they refused . The inhabitants petitioned the grand council against his removal : the council , however , declined to interfere . The inhabitants thereupon made seditious movements , and threatened resistance . They planted two trees of liberty , but they were taken down by the

      authorities , and they began casting bullets . It is said also that some corps francs ' have been ca'ied to their assistance . In consequence of all th : s the authorities of Berne have collected some detachments of infantry , cavalry , and artillery , and are prepared to march them at once to St . Imier , in case of need . A commissioner of the government has alread y been sent to that place . The French ambassador has signed a passport to enable Basswitz to proceed to Havre . If he should not leave before the 16 ih the government will send troops to occupy St . Imier .

      BELGIUM . In the Chamber of Deputies of Bel gium , on Thursday last , the members displayed great agitation , and paid little attention to a speech on the war budget delivered by the Minister of War . When the Minuter had concluded , the President called on M . Dechamp 3 to speak , but that gentleman was in the midst of an animated group . The agitation visibl y increased , and at last , M . Malon ascended the tribune , and said that it was impossible to deliberate in presence of the agitation of the Chamber , which was caused by a challenge having been sent by one member to another , in consequence of opinions expressed by him in that place . He

      accordingly demanded that the Chamber should form itself icto secret committee . This was agreed to , and the public were expelled . It then became known that Gen . Chazal had sent a challenge to M . Thiefry for having in the course of the debate asserted that certain statements respecting the Sardinian army made last year by the General , at that time Minister of War , were erroneous . The Chamber remained some time in secret deliberation . 11 . Thiefry , it is said , refused with much dignity to produce the letter which had been written to him by

      Geu . Chazal . One member demanded that a prosecution should be commenced against the latter for having violated the law against duelling . Another member recommended that an attempt should be made , to conciliate the affair , and to this the Assembly appeared to lean . Eventually it was determined that M . Thiefry and Gen . Chazal should be invitedjto present themselves before tbe President in the course of the evening , ind ' that a secret sitting should be held next day to receive a communication from the President on the result of the interview .

      The Rogier ministry , desirous of reducing the present army expenditure of Bel gium to 25 , 000 . 000 francs , lately entrusted tbe ministry of war to Gen . Brialmont , on the understanding that he was to act up to the view of the rest of the Cabinet in the plans for reduction . Gen . Brialmont accepted the appointment , but instead of carrying out the views of his colleagues , announced in the Chamber , on Monday , that he could not realise any of the reductions proposed . Hereupon a scandal took place in tbe Chamber , and the ministry is said to be on the eve of dissolution .

      GERMANY . The Dresden conferences have ended in a return to the old Bundesakt and the superannuated Diet at Frankfort . Ihe differences between the executive council ( engererath ) as it is in future to be constituted as it stood before , are slight . The votes are to be 9 instead of 17 , as heretofore , and ar <; divided as follows : —Austria , including the non-German states—Sclavonian and Italian , 2 ; Prussia , 2 ; Bavaria , . 1 ; Hanover and Saxony , 1 ; Wurtemberg and Baden , 1 ; the grand duchy of the electorate of Hesse , 1 ; and the remaining stales , 1—in all , 9 votes .

      The new apportionment of votes in the revived executive council of the diet at Frankfort , is raising such a cloud of protests and such a storm of discontent , that nothing but confusion seems likely at present to be the result of the Dresden conferences . Luxembourg and Holstein , that is , the Netherlands and Denmark , have protested against the new federal constitution . They — important placeshave hy this constitution only a fraction of a vote at the Diet , whilst Wurtem ' berg , an insignificant place compared with these , ha 3 an entire vote ;

      From Baden aud tbe ' free cities , ' a similar protest is expected ; and all the small states are likely to foliow these examples . The second committee of ; he conferences have not been able to come to any agreement with respect to the boundaries between the competency of the Plenum and that of the States Councils . Austria * : sbe 3 to refer all to the States Councils , hut Prussia feels herself safer in the Pienum , and the middle states are , on this point , with Prussia . Dirsension , it is thought , may possibly spring up betwixt Austria and Prussia out oi this question .

      PRUSSIA . On the 18 th inst . the 150 th anniversary of the erection of the Electorate of Brandenburg into the Kingdom of Prussia took place . The Elector , Frederick the Third , wa 3 invested with the Roval dignity in January 1701 , was crowned at Koni gsberg with great pomp and solemnity on the 17 th and established on the I 8 th the Prussian order of tbe Black Eagle , still the highest order of the State , as the Chapter only admits thirty-six members .

      There was a grand banquet , at which the King was present , and proposed three toasts , one to the ' Past , second to the Present , and the third to the Future ' and on this toast he said , ' Few of us will OLtlive the next fifty y-ars , far , we all desire that they may be years of pure blessing for this royal house and this brave people . Once again , gentlemen , 'The Past , the Present , and the Future . "

      SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN . Count Beventlow has been appointed Commissioner on behalf of the Duchies to confer with the Au 3 ! rianand Prussian C ommissioners . TheStadt . holderate has been dissolved , and it is said that public opinion approves the coarse which has been adopted . Austrian troops still continue marching so it is said , but not without contradictious , towards Holstein . General Hooret has sent a favourable address to the troops .

      several times , but as often withdrawn , With respect to the Queen ' s feelings on the subject , her Majesty is a true daughter of Ferdinand VII ., and a great adept in dissimulation . It is said that when Senor Pidal and the other Ministers asked her Majesty what she intended to do ( after the resignation of General Narvaez had been accepted , ) her reply was , that she intended to go to bed , aid should consider the subject the next day . Bravo Muriilo has read to the two chambers his programme of government , which is summed up in respect for the law , and impartiality and economy in the administration . He promises to present a plan for settling the debt without , however , giving any details .

      ROME . A letter from Rome , of the 11 th , states that the Roman police has made some more domiciliary visits with a view to discover the authors of certain clandestine publications . Count Bermont , an old French officer , is now at Rome ; it is generally believed he has been sent by the French Cabinet in order to organise a pontificial army by ordinary conscription . Five dragoons posted at Caprarola ( Romagna ) have deserted with their arms and horses , and gone over to the banditti of II Passatore .

      DEATH AND BURIAL OF GENERAL BEM . A letter dated Aleppo , December 10 th , gives the following painfully interesting particulars of the ond of this brave soldier : — " A higher power has interposed to determine the duration of poor Bern ' s detention in this place . I have just returned from his funeral . You know I stand very little upon ceremonies , yet there is a melancholy pleasure in observing the rites paid to a fellow exile by foreigners in a strange land . Bern ' s sickness was neither very long nor painful ; a month before his death he was riding out . Some slight attacks of fever gave him no anxiety ; and he could not be persuaded to take any medicine until

      three or four days before his death . His a welling lay very low between gardens , near the banks of a river . According to the unanimous opinions of physicians the spot was exceedingly unhealthy . Their admonitions , however , were disregarded . Every physician told him that his frame , weakened with wounds and hardships , had not vital force sufficient to withstand an attack of fever , which would be dangerous to a strong man , and which might in all probability be avoided . hy leaving his unhealthy dwelling . In the evening he complained of pains in the abdomen ; about eleven he said ho felt better , and slept with few intermissions until two , when he died . At ten next morning , as we went to visit him , his body lay extended on a bier , and several

      persons were engaged in washing and dressing the corpse , while mollahs were praying around . The washings ended , the body was wound in a sheet and placed in . a coffin , at the foot of which hunjr his fez . A coloured shawl was spread over the coffin . A military interment is a thing unknown in Turkey ; however , on this occasion , Kerim Pasha , the comr nnndaut , the I ' renoU and English consuls , rriany officers , and an immense crowd ; of soldiers , assembled . The procession moved on ¦ without much order , From twenty to thirty mollahs marched first , and began a monotonous and frightful laillaha-illaha . We carried him to the door , and would have gone further to his place of rest , but Turkish etiquette forbade . A great rush took

      place , and every one was anxious to catch a last glimpso of the coffin . Strong divisions of military were posted on the line of procession , many of the soldiers of which pressed forward to carry the coffin , even old Kerim Pasha would insist upon hearing a hand . Near Friedhofe the coffin was deposited in the grave of a saint , whore prayers were said . Arrived at the grave the body was taken out of the coffin and deposited in a grave five or six feet deep , the head lying towards Mecca . The threads by which the winding sheet was secured were then cut , and the grave was filled up with large flat stones . The promise , which Bern had often repeated oflate to relate to us the entire history of his life , has not been fulfilled . It is stated that he was only fifty-six years of age , although he appeared much older . His body was uncommonly weakened , bat his restless spirit retained its force and vivacity to the last . From the moment of his transition to

      Isiainism , all his efforts were directed to make hia knowledge and experience useful to his new fatherland , and the Sultan , whom ho greatly esteemed . I can say very little of his political belief : it is certain that he was anything but a democrat , and hated Socialism . He was heart and soul a soldier . The aims which he set before himself he followed up with great perseverance . His conversation was lively and intellectual ; he was especially lively when speaking in the French language , of which he was completel y master . He bore his detention with great resignation , and was quite resolved to close his tumultuous life here . He had laid the foundation of a saltpetre manufactory here , and had sent specimens of his manufacture to * Constantinople , whence he was empowered to proceed with his works on a great scale , at the cost of the government . He was also requested by the government to give his superintendence to a large manufactory of arms .

      The' Osservatore Dalmato' quotes correspondence from Herzgovine and the adjoining provinces , from which we glean the following intelligence . On the 27 th ult . a party of 100 insurgents arrived at Duvno , aud committed several acts of violence , besides attempting to gain over the inhabitants to their party . The band afterwards left Duvno , and marched in the direction of Zupagraz , but has not = ince been heard of . The insurgents still keep 8 strong detachment at the bridge of Kogniza , on the confines of Herzgovine and . Bosnia , to oppose the march of tbe Seraskier . The latter had . sent a body of 1 , 600 men to take possession of the ' bridge , but no tidings of their success had been received . Monsignor Raffaele Barissie , Bishop of Herzeovine ,

      who resides at Sconizza , Duvno , has received several messages from Kavas Pacha , the insurgent chief , in one of which he advises the reverend prelate to make up his mind to be cut in pieces shortly . It is even stated that about twenty insurgents had twice attempted to put the threat into execution . A letter from Fort Opu 3 , dated the 2 nd , announces the arrival in that place of the Bemhasba ( 'Major ) of the Ottoman troops , who landed lately at Satorina . Ali Pacha , Visir of Herzgovine , has removed from Buna to Stolaz , so that the insurgents of Mostar have a wider field for their operations . The Austrian merchants—Senenfelds , Andre , and Kluki—have left their establishments , and taken refuge at Fort Opus . The fortified village of Pocitelj is under the command of Rustan Beg .

      From Buenos Ayres there is no political news of importance . Preparations far war continued to be pushed forward as expeditiously as possible , and the government sought , by all possible means , to cast the odium of the rupture upon Brazil , denouncing , in terms the most violent , its Cabinet its policies internal and external , and their Europeanizing tendencies . Tbe commercial crisis at Buenos Ayres had neither passed away nor in any way mitigated . The number of failures had been increased by several important additions , and severe distress was experienced by many who still contrived to struggle against the pressure which the enormous and sudden fluctuations in specie and exchanges , and the numerous stoppages had occasioned . The general opinion was , that the worst was yet to come , and all confidence wns destroyed .

      The « Roman Observer , ' of the 11 th inst ., announces the arrival at Rome of-Prince Paskewitch of Russia , Prince Poniatowski , and the Archbishop Wladika of Montenegro . The same journal publishps a list of twenty individuals condemned for highway robbery and murder , on the 27 th ult ., by the Council of War of Bologna ; sixteen , capitally convicted , had been executed , and the four others were sentenced to four , six , and twelve years' hard labour .

      A decree of the Council of Administration of the kingdom of Poland prohibits the introduction from abroad , or the publishing within the realm , of any print , picture , or lithograph representing any subject from Scripture history , or referring to Christian rites of worship , or to religion generally , 'Unless it is first examined and approved by the officials of the diocese . The same prohibition extends to casts , sculptures , medals , rings , or carved work . Without this previoiM permission Rnoh objects cannnt ba prepared ,

      imported , or sold . By an okese of the 16 th of May , 1849 , the Polish nobles were forbidden to wear their beards ; as it has not been strickly observedj it has been again brought to the notice of the woits and magistrates .
