      FRANCS , la the National Legislative Assembly on Monday M . Anthony Thomers having moved taat l , 800 , 000 f . be paid to the President of the Republic as / raw de -representations . MM . Clay and Lemutier proposed that this credit . he paid oat of the salaries of the - members . The Minister of Justice , M . Royer , stated , on the part of the government , that the -Cabiaet would not euter into the debate , hut that it referred the Assembly to the motivation of the bill . Referring to the credit of last year , he protested that to the government this question was not

      one of money , but of political order . M . Dufongerais , rising in opposition te the bill , detailed the grievances of the Assembly agaiast the President . H . de Montalembert had hoped that the good sense of members would have induced them to hush the schism between the Assembly and the Executive . He opposed the preferment of such a grant on principle , but he was of opinion that the demand , if once made , ought to meet with compliance . —M . Piscatory next rose to oppose the bill . He protested that the Assembly was by no means hostile to the President , and he declared that the vote which he felt confident would be pronounced was a mere warning on the part of the legislative body .

      On a division being called for , the house divided en the Dotation Bill , and the numbers were—for the bill 294 , against it 396 , majority 102 . - M . Waisse ha » declared that the government -Considers the law of May equall y applicable to the election of the prerdents as to that of representa . tires . This question is therefore now set at rest . On being requested to state the views of the go-• vernment as to the sale of journals in the street , he said that the ministry were opposed to the plan of M . Pascal Duprat for allowing free sale to all journals ¦ without exception , and preferred that of M . Baze , which established equality by interdicting all without exception .

      The Momteur * publishes a notice , in which it is stated that the President knows that the people render him justice , and that is enough . Therefore lie refuses any subscription , however spontaneous and national its character may be .

      ROMAN STATES . The Italian papers narrate some fresh exploits of the Modern ' Fra Diavolo ' , the celebrated bandit chieftain Passadere , who has so long kept in bay the Austrian and pontificial troops , which had been sent to scour the country and capture him . It appears that he is little deterred by the formidable preparations for his arrest , for on the 21 st ult ., white the best families of Forlimpopoli ( Romagna ) were enjoying the pleasure of a theatrical representation , two detachments of his band entered the town , disarmed the few gendarmes who were on duty at the theatre , and , mounting on the stage , ordered the curtain to be raised . Then showing the keys of the

      gates , they informed the assembled public they were masters of the town , and ordered all the audience to deliver op their money . They seized the President of the Municipality , dragged him to his house , which they pillaged , and then having forced him to give np the key of the Mont de Pieti , went to that establishment and tried to open the coffers , but ineffectually , because they did not know the secret of the locks . They then attempted to break them open with hatchets , but with as little success , While a part of the population were thus forced to remain in the theatre , another party of the robbers ' were actively engaged in pillaging the houses of the richest inhabitants . At midnight all the banditti effected their retreat .

      The present state of affairs in France has created to much alarm at the Vatican , that it is said his Holiness has communicated to General Gemeau , the Commander-in-Chief of the French garrison , that he would willingly dispense with their pretence . He wonld place himself and the Sacred College under the immediate and more consistent protection of the Austriaus and Neapolitans . The alarm of the Roman government , however , has to a certain extent benefited some of the political

      prisoners , who have been confined in damp dungeons for several months without trial , as Colonel Calandrelli , second in command of the Republican artillery , whose bravery was admitted and admired by the Austriaus at Yicenza , and by the French daring the siege of Rome , has now for a week been permitted to walk about in the more airy part of the prison , and several others have been permitted ta have the same indulgence , whilst others have been allowed their liberty .

      NAPLES . The state trials came to a close on the 31 st ult . The sentences passed were as follows : —Settembrini , Agresti , Faodtano—death . The following were condemned to the galleys for various terms : —the ex-Minister Carlo , Baron Poerio , twenty-four years ; Captains Nisco and Margerhit , thirty years ; Catalani , Veltucci and Brieco , twenty-five years ; Pironte and Romeo , twenty-four years ; Antonelli , Cavalieri , the Canon Erricello , De Simone , Tedesco , Dono , Caprio , Colombo , Cocozza and Nardi , nine * teenyears ; Caraffa , Padfico , Torassa , Petera , one year ' s imprisonment ; Mondella , fifteen days' imprisonment ; Molincio , 500 ducats fine . Persico , Palotta , Seriate , Muro , Gualtieri , and De Giovanni , acquitted . Barella and Mazza solitary confinement in irons for life .

      The crime of Settembrini was that he drewnp the celebrated ' protesta . ' Faucitano was instrumental in preventing the Papal benediction , by exploding lome combustibles against his person . Great efforts were made , particularly by the diplomatic bod y , to influence fte King , then at Casau , to spare the prisoners condemned to death , and the punishment of death was commuted into confine * ment in the galleys for life . Faucitano was only pardoned at the last moment . GERMANY . Advices from Dresden state that the committees have finished their labours ; that the Central Executive Power is to be established ; and that the Premiers of Austria and Prassia will meet at Dresden on the 15 th inst .

      SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN . All the fortresses are being occupied by the Danes . The Schleswig-Holstein troops are disbanding as rapidly as possible , and the paper money , issued by the government during the late war , though not actuall y recognised by the Danish government is winked at , This measure seems to give great satisfaction . SPAIN . Bravo Murillo ' s ministry have propased a plan to settle the debt b y paying life annuities to « ome of the bondholders , and , after a certain time , reducinc the _ interest paid to the remaining parties . This J HDject has btea referred to a committee .

      UNITED STATES . A paper is circulating among the members of Congress , irrespective of party , which contains a pledge that they will support no one for office who is in favour of disunion , or the repeal of the Fagitive Slave Bill , ft is receiving a great many signatures , and will he probaWy followed up bv more definite action . It is said that such is the state of public feeling just now , that no one could be ejected to any office of importance in the northern states shoEld he avow himself a disunionist { or any cause whatever .

      A mevemeut is going on at Washington , for the propose of influencing Congress to grant a large subvention to a line of steamers between the United States and Africa . It is also proposed to withdraw eur squadron from the slave coasts , as the traffic in slaves is in no way lessened by its pre-Eence there . By extending the line of free colonies , such as Liberia , it might be effectually pucdown . These views wry much favour the establishment of the ebony' line of steamers now under consideration ,

      ROMAN BANDITTI . Romb , Jan . 31 . —The following private letter describes a most daring act :- •« I have to-day to relate t most singular and almost incredible fact , the authenticity of which , however , is established by the most incontestable evidence , including that of official reports . On the 25 th of this month the tbeatricil corps of Forlini-Popqli was playing the Death of ( knar . ForlraiPopoli is a small town of about 4 , 000 inhabitants , enclosed by a high wall , entered by two gates , and scarcely three miles from thetownof Forli . of whichit is a kind of suburb . By eight o ' clock in the evening , the hour when the theatres open in Italy , all movement has disappeared

      from the streets , windows are dosed , and the inhabitants have retired to their homes , the coffeehouses , or theatres . This absence of activity in the streets , which every one remarks at Rome , is still more complete in small towns . It may , then , he understood how , at Forlini-Popoli , and particularly on an evening when the theatre was open , the streets should be so deserted as to make possible the occurrence now to be related . The first act of the piece had terminated , and the curtain had just fallen * when suddenl y it rose and disclosed—instead of the actors , who had disappeared—ten brigands of the band del Passatore , who , armed with muskets and carbines , levelled them so as to com .

      mand the entire range ef the pit and boxes . At the same moment another party , consisting of thirty brigands , made their appearance on the floor of the house , the . issues of which were guarded , and armed with sabres and pistols , menacing the sped tators . A moment of stupor , daring which no one dared , move , elapied when the chief of the bri gands advanced to the foot-li ghts , and , exhibiting the keys of the two gates of the town , said , Gent lemen , you see by these that you are entirely | n our power ; any resistance on your part would lead to disasters which I should be the first to deplore , but which it depends on you to avert . Listen , then , to what I have to Bay . I am about to call

      out the names of several among you . As I pronounce a name , let him who bears it step forth from his box and repair to his house , in company with one or two of my friends , who will assist him to bring hither all his hoards , and that without defrauding us of a perpetto . ' This said , the orator displayed a paper , and commenced reading the fatal roll . Submission was inevitable . A dozin carbineers formed the sole police of Forlini-Popoli . Six of these were in the theatre and had been gagged by the brigand ? . The six others , surprised in their guard-houfe , bad ventured a vain resistance . The burgomaster was the first victim . Some time was of course required for this operation , which did not terminate before a quarter to twelve . It was probably to shorten the agony of the pit and boxes that two brigands went from spectatorjto spectator collecting hatfuls

      , of watches , purses , chains , ring 8 , and even umbrellas . "When the harvest was gathered and the booty had been heaped up on the stage , the brigands allowed the curtain to fall , and quietly withdrew , carrying all with them . The money thus amounted to 7 , 000 Roman piastres , or about 40 . 000 f ., and the bijoux , objects of art , &c , to double that sum . The next day an Austrian detachment set out in pursuit of the band , which probably had dispersed by that time in the mountains or passed the Tuscan frontier . Their number is supposed to have been about 300 or 400 . It is probable that they were in league with some of the inhabitants . However this may be , private houses and public treasuries have all been plundered , with the exception of the Monte de Piete , the fastening of which resisted all the attempts made to break it . "

      ri ? 2 "T" tbe civil 1 W bythe Second Chamber m Prussia , the following 8 alaries have been fixed « pon for public officers of the first class : -A cabinet minister is to have 10 , 000 dollars and suitable household establishment in 35 secretary , 500 dollars at most . aiiij di rector , from 3 , 500 to 4 , 080 dollars ; cabinet councillors , without distinction of rank , from 2 , 000 to 2 , 800 dollars ; accountants and registrars vrithnni distinction , from 600 to 1 , 500 dollars , &c . ' It is said that a military convention has been entered into between Austria and the governmen of Hene Cassel to this effect : namely , that the whole military force of Hesse , with the single exception of the Electoi » a bodyguard , is to be Bent to 00 duty , as a kind of penal banishment , into Soteaia , and that Austrian troops are to take their plice in tbe electorate .

      ' A petition presented to the Prussian Chamber 6 f a Literat n « med Hoffmann caused some debate , fie was expelled from Berlia by tbe police in the beginning of the tat year , and prayed the

      Hewe to procure . him , permission to " -reeid . 6 here , asd to indemnUy him" for the / pecuniary loss occasioned by bis forced , removal .. He- bad resided in Berlin from the yeir ; 1837 . The rea&n alleged for hit expulsion was , that he had written democratically . The Committee of Petitions advised the House , in its report , to proceed to the simple order of the day , as a law regulating the power of the police in this respect was likely to be brought forward . M . von Vincke spoke against this recommendation , and moved that the petition be referred to the Minister of the Interior , with a pressing request that he would arrange the matter between tbe police and tbe petitioner . He said the great difference between the European and Asiatic systems of government was the greater respect the

      former inculcated for personal freedom ; and personal freedom could not exist if the rig ht of the subject to reside where he would or could was taken away . Finally the amendment of M . von Viacke was carried by a majority of one vote , and the petition referred to the Minister of the Interior . At tbe last performance at the royal theatre in Madrid , where the Queen was present , a girl , who was one of the chorus 6 ingers , threw herself , at her Majesty ' s feet , as she was entering her private box , and implored her clemency for a carbineer , who had been condemned to death for breaches of discipline , and was to be put en cap illi previous to execution the next day . The Queen granted the pardon required , and desired that orders should be sent forthwith to tbe Minister of War to stay the execution of the sentence . * ' ¦ . '""

      Senor Martinez who has been pursuing General Narvaez , trying to meet bim that he mi ght challeoge him , at last succeeded . The only notice the General took of tbe challenge , however , was to claim protection as a Captain General , and Senor Martinez has been recalled to Madrid .
