      FRANCE . The following twenty-five members of Ihe Legislative Assembly bavebsen elected to form the Commission of Permanenee during the vacation : —Didier , General Changarnier , Dufougerais , Sauvaire , Barthelemy , Da Montigeny , Barryer , Vitet , po » jou ! at , De Melun , Passy , Druet-Desvaux , D'OHvier , Gouin , Bsrnardi , Di Montebello , Buehe * - ; Ds La Toilet te , Admiral Cecille , Rulliere , Hubert , De Lisle , Boiuvilliers , Da Kermarec , De Bar , Grouchy , and De Mortemart . Toe Lord Mayot axid oxliets invited by the- Parisians have arrived in Paris , and have beea received with the createst cordiality and hospitality .

      The final poll in the elections of the Nord pre . sents the following result . —Electors inscribed , 145 000 ; voters , 60 , 457 , M , Waisse , ministerial candidate , 41 , 912 ; M . Delaroyere , legitimist candidate , 11 , 917 ; blank-tickets and lost votes , 6 , 628 . M . Waisas having obtained more than cme-forth of the votes inscribed was proclaimed representative . 6 , 628 electors having abstained , indirectly , in depositing blank tickets ; and 85 , 000 having abstained , directly , by taking no part in ihe ballot , tbe total number of abstentions is 91 , 600 . Tbe Councils of Arrondisement commenced tbeir sessions on Monday . Those of Rouen , Chateauroux , and Montreiul-sur-Mer have voted the revision ot the constitution .

      The trial by court-martiol of the offenders concerned in the plot of Lyons began on Tuesday last . The accused are fifty in number , fourteen of whom iave taken flight . MM . Cremieux and Mtched e Bourges will plead on behalf of the prisoners . The ' Monitcurdu Soir ' says that the workmen of the salt-works of Baznac , near Agde , department Of the Herault , demanded a faw days ago , an increase of wages , hut tbe directors corld not grant it . They accordingly struck v * ork , and caused a notification to be published that they would not allow the salt in ihe works to bs removed . They then barred the roads leading to the place , in order to prevent other workmen from arriving . The judicial authorities , however , caused the ringleaders in the afair to be arrested .

      The Lord mayor ami party have been sumptuously entertained , and there has been nothing but festivity ever since they entered Paris . They have been to Versailles and St . Cloud , where the Lord Major ¦ was introduced to the President . All kinds of people were present : Russians , Poles , Hungarians , and a Chinese Mandarin . On Tuesday the Marquis of Hormanby received the English visitors , and in the evening a grand ball

      took place at the Hotel de ville , where dancing was kept up until five o'clock in the morning . All persona seem to have vied with each other as to who should show the representatives of the City of London , and the Exhibition , the roost attention . When the Lord Mayor visited the Assembly the sentinels duly presented arm 3 , and the moment he entered , representatives rose and uncovered , a mark of respect which they have never shown to foreign princes , or their representatives .

      PORTUGAL . "We have advices from Lisbon dated July 29 ih . It appears plottiug still goes on at Elvas , and the disaffected military there hold communications with those at Badajos . The inhabitants take no part in it ; on the contrary , they are devoted to the government . A little plotting has been manifest among ; a fear sergeants of the 9 th Caeadores in Lisbon , but the good spirit of the soldiers of the xegiment checked it without difficulty . No farther acts of political insubordination have taken place .

      A short time since some of a detachment of Lancers ( that are usually stationed at Cintra when the Queen is there ) got drunk , and descanting upon politics , proclaimed their attachment to Costa Cabral ( the Count de Thomar , ) saying they were always faithful to him , and disliked Saldanha , as well as many other things which their disordered intellects caused them to throw out to the consideration of some infantry who were with them . The latter took a different view of things ; but neither party being able to convice the other in the arena of debate , a battle royal took place , which drew together more combatants . Captain H'ggs , one of the officers , used his endeavours to put down the tumult by fair means ; that , however , failing ,

      be attempted to cut one man down , when tbe others , maddened to fury , made a rush upon him , and he narrowly escaped with his life . The Queen sent for Saldanha , and told him a guard was sent to her to protect her , but they only frightened her , and therefore she desired them to be removed ; the duke sa ' . d they should fee punished , but the Queen replied , she considered herself safer with the people than with the troops , and therefore wished the latter to be removed : nothing farther has transpired of the incident . How wonderful a change ! from Cabralista despotism her majesty is becoming quite a democrat , and wishes to place her safety in the good sense and affections of the people .

      ITALY . TRE INVISIBLE GOYER . EMEST IS HOME . A correspondent of the Daily News , ' says : — ' This 13 the season when Rome is periodically deserted . After a winter so barren of foreign visitors I leave you , therefore , to judge of its desolation . Rome indeed presents an aspect in every way calculated to deter the peaceable , quiet-loving traveller from taking up even a temporary residence in the holv cilv . Whether in search of

      repose or in the pursuit of pleasure or knowledgeunless that kind of knowledge to be derived from the study of political convulsions—I can as well conceive an idler taking up his residence at the foot of Vesuvius when it exhibits unmistakeable signs of impending eruptions , a 3 at Some * No doubt there may be much to instruct a political Pliny , unmindful of the danger and discomfort with which the prospective confusion , threatens him , bnt there is no less to astonish and disquiet the pacific traveller .

      ' On arriving at Rome—I mean on arriving in hotels wholly tenanted , when tenanted at all , by Americans and Englishmen—and on the very day of your arrival , you hear of the " Invisible Government . " ' What is the " invisible government "—a mere creation of the fancy of your valet de pi ? No ; the mysterious impression he endeavoured to convey is confirmed by the banker , the- librarian , and the callessero who drives you through the Corso , The tl invisible government" is spoken of universally

      With more reverence than is shown in England for the House of Commons , and far more respect than the French National Assembly popularly elicits , you cannot be many days ia Rome witout feeling that its government is unequally divided between three powers—the French commanders who are abhorred ; the Pope ' s administration which is despised ; and the invisible government , all-pervading all-permeating , the most potent of the three , because its power is founded on the unanimous sympa by and voluntary obedience of the people .

      • I would fam believe that onything which constitutes a check on the shameless persecution and rapine in which the Papal authorities indulge , is beneficial ; and I cannot but admit that this extraordinary secret combination is directed by men whose moderation is creditable and systematic , but it is fearful to think that an irresponsible agency should be subterraneously at work , upheaving tbe very ground under one ' s feet , and placing every man's life and fortune at the disposal of a hidd tribunal . ' ' Legally , or I should rather say overtly , you Lave arbitrary annoyance to endure from tbe French authorities , in addition to every kind of vexation

      and extortion at the hands of the Pope s officials . Estra-legally , you have to obey the mandates of this invisible government which very often are not placarded on the walls , because every one in Rome makes a point of ascertaining them . ' Being informed that I could obtain a 'real Havannah cigar on the square where Torlonia lives at the head governmont-office for the sale of to-* vs ¥ ? ( W-lld- ° * course 3 sa monopoly ) , I repaired tin her . The shopman ( if bo I may venture to call tarn , for probably , as a government officer , h ? is an ecclesiastic ) handed me his wares with some-^ fl ° : ? «?«« M > n of gratified surprise with fCtliMl « ii 6 <»« iUliU OUipilSC Will !

      prising young French dandy ; or you might get bonneted , like your countryman A * * * ; or be glad to abjure the practice , like B— , when he found himself taken for a sMrro , and learned the character of the tbirri , the refuse of the galleys , which , from the want of better , the papal government is driven to employ . " 1 Unwilling to incur penalties which others seemed ao solicitous to avoid , but vexed and s « ffering from corns , I walked into a shop in the Condotti to buy a stick . " It is useless to take that one , sir , or anything thicker than this , * ' said the vendor , substituting a switch for tbe substantial staff 1 had selected ; " sou do not seem to know thai the l ' feneh commandant has forbidden , under pain of court martial , the use of anything thicker than tbe tube of a tobacco pipe . "

      1 , the invisible government forbade my smoking ! The French government of Rome prohibited the use of a staff whereupon to lean ; and when the next day I attempted to make an excursion from the city in sheer digust , I was detained two hours at the barriers by the papal police who guard the entrance into and exit from the pontifical city under the protection of the French detachment , and who had the impudence to demand a fee for their dili . gence in expediting the examination of our dearlypurchased passports .

      • These are a few innumerable such vexations in which remonstrance or complaint is useless . Mr , Freeborn , the British consular agent , is very naturally disinclined to take up cases which would absorb his whole time in the unthankful and unsahried office which he fills . It would bs natori . ously useless to apply to Mr . Petre ( nominally at . tached to the Tuscan legation , to avoid the penalties of prcsmunire , ) who receives £ 600 per annum fer bis residence a- Rome , but is so bigotted an ad berent of the Pope that his despatches , as a reference to the blue book will show , are a servile paraphase of the papal bulletins , in direct contradiction to Freeborn ' s letter ' s to the Foreigh-office , and to facts within the k nowledge of every English resident in Rome . Surely we might employ £ 600 of the public money more * advantageously , and evade a statute , if needs must be , to some better

      r . irpose . * The " invisible government" I found , to ray surprise , to bs an extensive and complete organisation , pervading Italy , but more peculiarly developed in Lorabardy and Romajna , having for object an Italian unite and independence , and possessing its funds , revenues , arms , soldiers , agents , and police . Mysterious , but unfailing in operation as the Wehmgerieht of the middle age , it differs from the Wehmyericht , from Carbonaroism , and all * other previous associations that I know of , in this respect , that a whole nation seems conspiring . I r erily believe that three out of four individual in Rome and the chief parts of ftomagna are enlisted in this society , and daily proofs are afforded that the conspiracy pervades every department of the state , the police , the army , the post-office , and the very antechambers of the "Vatican .

      ' It is on tbis account that the whole papal garrison , except some companies , was recently turned out of Rome . It has its regular press , distributing thousands of its flying sheets with all the regularity which attends the delivery of a London paper ; yet so extensive are lha ramifications of complicity that neither press , printer , writers , nor distributors , have ever been seized . The chief of tbe police said the other day , in answer to the reproaches of Cardinal Antonelli , " Formerl y we watched the liberals ; now we are watched by them . " No arrest is ever feffected which has been a few honrs precencorted , and no denunciator transpiring , so accurate and extensive is the knowledge of the invisible

      government . In flagrant cases assassination overtakes the accuser . This is shocking ; but it rcuBt be admit ted that the flogging of " women by the Austrian , commander has ceased since the warning posted on the walls , aud the death of the commandant of Lodi for disregarding it . Nothing in fact , but the strong reprobation of this ever-recurring invisible government , which haunts us everywhere and all things here , prevents the extension of this mode of retribution into Sicilliau vespers . This mysterious agency seems to have secured a subordination as wide as its extension . I am credibly informed that its levies in Romagna are regimented and officered and I know that its revenues in the form of a na

      tional loan are regularly levied to meet Us current expenses and provide a store of arms and ammunition for tbe day of insurrection . 1 If Pius sends us from Rome his bulls , Im cardinals , and his bishops , the invisible government acts in blind obedience to the orders of its expatriated heads , which cause far more real disquietude to the board of cardinals than any aggression his Holiness has attempted ought reasonably to oc

      casion to our bench of bishops . The French are just on the worst terras with the papal government , and there is in fact but one single point on which any two of the three powers virtually ruling Rome at this moment are agreed . That is to say , that the invisible government on the one side , and tbe Pope and his cardinals on the other , heartily concur in wishing the withdrawal of the French garrison from Rome whatever be the conse quences . ¦ ' 'S . '

      A letter from Rome , in the Venice Gazette ' of the 31 st nit ., states that everything considered , the friendly feeling which formerly existed between the papal authorities and the French garrison no longer exists , although great pains are taken on either side to dissemble the true state of affairs . The total occupation of the palace of the holy inquisition has undoubtedly contributed to aggravate matters . The French authorities have taken possession of all the sulphur in powder existing iu the warehouses of the manufacturers , and had it transported to the Castle of St . Angelo , without paying the proprietors anything , on the plea that they only keep it in deposit . Consequently , the merchants who cannot sell their stock , loudly convplaia of this measure , but in vain . The French have also transported to the castle of St . Angelo all the artillery belonging to the papal armv .

      LOMBARDY . The ' Milan Gazette , ' of the 31 st ult ., publishes a notification from the military commandant of Lombardy , -which , after announcing that t he proclamation of March 10 , 1849 , establishing the state of siege , is again in vigour since the late proclamation of Marshall Radetsky , fixes a period of ei ght days lor the delivery of arms and ammunition to the competent military authorities , after which time any person having such articles in his possession , without a special license , will be treated with all the rigour of military law .

      NAPLES . Our advices from Naples state that the material for the trials of the accused of May 15 th is now complete , and has been officially published . The pamphlet opens with praises of the King , and the terrible extremities to which his Majesty was pushed by tbe factious oppoaition of a few ; in fact , the disasters of May 15 th , 1848 , are narrated without ; the canse , nor is the royal pardon mentioned which followed . Whilst the deputies were discussing the manner of proceeding on the opening of the parliament the enemies of the constitution were employed in exciting the people to revolt , and the barricades were

      formed—10 , 000 troops quietly looking on at a dozen boys heaping together fragile barriers . Prlma facie this is a strong justification of his Majesty ' s conduct on that awful day—the people were in revolt , a few boys and a few national guards were opposing the opening of Parliament . The fight took place , and the royal troops followed up their victory by unnecessary bloodshed and plunder , which was eventually stopped by the remonstrances of Admiral Bat-din , whose fleet was then in the . Bay of Naples . Without accusing his Majesty with the ' sin of omission' in not promptly dispersing the deluded victims of revolt , let us see what follows . Nine days after the the 15 th of May the following roval decree appeared : —

      1 Neapolitans ! Profoundly pained by the horrible events of the 15 th of May , our greatest desire is to ameliorate , as much as is humanly possible , the con . sequences . ' Our most firm and immutable will is to maintain the constitution of the 1 Oth of February , 1848 , pure , immaculate from every description of attack . Such being alone compatible with the real and present necessities of this part of Italy—such shall be the sacred ark in which the destinies of our loved subjects and our crown are placed . The legislative chambers shall again be immediately

      convoked , and the wisdom , firmness and prudence which we shall expect from them will materially asn sist us in grave and useful reforms , lieturn , then , 'o your ordinary occupations , believe in the fulness of your souls , in our loyalty , in our religion , and iour sacred and spontaneous oath , and live in the fullest certainty that our incessant occupation shall be to abolish as soon as possible , together with the fittae of , siege , the memory of the unhappy events which have afflicted us . ( Signed ) Ferdinando II , '

      Such is the solemn promise and pardon published a few days after-the disasters of May , couched in language which is only surpassed by the awful oath of the constitution . And jet forty-five men . ) who have remained in prison more than two years , are now broug ht to trial . More than 600 were taken with arras in their hands , but only forty-five are accused . On looking over the names , we find they are ex- deputies and government officials , consp icuous { or tbeir constitutional opinions , and like the celebrated forty-two of the last trials , victims of political hatred , and no doubt like them will be sent to the galleys in chains . These gentlemen have already reveaWl enough to pr < we tb&t the real authors of the street fight do not appear .

      The parliament was again called ; its conservative character and moderation may be seen in the records of that assembly . Several useful reforms passed , but never received the signature of the King . At length the finance was to be voted , '; the King then closed the parliament , and shortly after , out of 104 deputiea , twenty-four were thrown into prison , and fifty-two exiled themselves from the Two Sicilies , in all seventy-six victims . The reaction had now triumphed ; the King felt himself sure of the army , and the events of Europe no longer threatened from without . The old corrupt police

      machinery was recalled , and the irritated hounds of despotism have since hunted the whole kingdom for the last two years , crowding the prisons , and ruining families in all directions . It is enough to be denounced by a tpy , to be thrown into prison , and eventually moved to the galleys . Poerio and his companions already wear the chain , and others will assuredly be added to these early victims . It is a crime to mention the word constitution—it is high treason to refer to that unity of Italy which his Majesty solemnly contracted with Charles Albert .

      THE STATE TRIALS . The great tragedy at . Naples is not yet over , the eurtaindropped but for a short time , and we are to witness a new trial by those judges whom the pamphlet ? of Mr . Gladstone introduced to us , and on victims not less illustrious than Baron Poerio . We learn by the latest intelligence from Naples that the late minister of commerce and agriculture , Antonio Scialoja , is to be tried , or rather , that he is to be sentenced to tbe galleys . M . Scialoja , a born Neapolitan , was professor of political economy at Turin . He made himself generally beloved by the' gentleness of hia temper , and by the moderation of his views , He was a free trader and a constitutionalist , and

      as such the greatest enemy of violent revolutions . IIi 3 'Trattato Eleraenlare di Economia Politica' contains the substance of his lectures , and is a proof of the practical turn of his ^ mind ., His position in Turin was a p leasant one in every respect , when the revolution in 1848 broke out ; but mindful of . his native country , be returned to Naples in March , ' 1848 , though with the intention not to fix himself on so treacherous a soil . ; After his arrival there he had an interview with the King , who , by the advice of his ministry , had appointed Scialoja to a high judicial office . A few days later , on the 7 ih of April , he was named Minister of Agriculture and Commerce . An enemy of Anarchy not less than of despotism , at a moment , when both these extremes were to be dreaded , he did all he

      could to unite the different parties in one great interest ; loftier than all the others—viz ., tbe national interest for the independence of Italy . But the dynastic intrigues , the religious apprehensions , and Ihe disturbances excited by the agents of the enemy , destroyed this noble enterprise , so little appreciated by the , foreign press . The deplorable events of the 15 th of May , 1848 , in Naples severely tried Scialoja's hopes . He saw that the reactionary party would avail itself of the unsuccessful attempt of a few hundred madmen , who evidently were under foreign influence , and he withdrew from office . Unwilling to use other arms than those of

      words and of persuasion , he resorted to both , writing for the press , and lecturing on political economy to refute the . doctrines o { Socialism . The government slopped these lectures . But Scialoja' was member of the parliament ; he had therefore the tribune , and he denounced from it all those . seeds of corruption and of absolutism which soon were to grow and bring such bitter fruits in his unfortunate country . Now who could believe that sixteen months after he left office he was imprisoned in September , 1849 , under the pretence that he had been implicated iu the . disturbances of the loth of May .

      A man like Scialoja , who anxiously longed for the peaceful development of freedom , and who loved national independence even more than freedom itself , how could he he a party to the 15 th ot May—to this first blow against liberty and independence ? How could he participate in this mad attempt , which served but despotism , aud blighted every hope of progress ? But it is enough to say , that he has now been nearly two years in prison , and that the Neapolitan judges were not able to find false witnesses against him . He often , but in vain , implored the judges to try him , that he might thus have the opportunity of defending himself . Now , after a preliminary imprisonment of twenty-two months , he

      will be dragged before the court , not to be judged hut to be eoudemned . For in countries where justice is not administered by jury , and where the judges can be dismissed from office at the pleasure of the King , a judge is nothing more than a commissioner , a mercenary , a bravo , who , instead of the stiletto , destroys you by the false interpretation or application of a law in order to please his master , But Scialoja ' was minister at the time when the constitution was in full vigour , and was acknowledged by the King . himself . The minister should

      therefore have been tried by the House of Peers when impeached by the Commons . Instead of this he will be tried by a corrupted court , by a star . chamber . But it is yet more strange that those few hundred men who fought on the 15 th of May in the streets of Naples , and who were taken prisoners , arms in hand , have all been dismissed without any punishment , without any law suit . Absolutism seems in fact desirous to prove grateful to those very men for the mad enterprise which was excited by foreign enemies to whom they served as tools ,

      GERMANY . A committee has lately been established in the Diet for the publication of the reports of the Diet ' s proceedings ; that is to determine in each case what should be published , and what should be suppressed . . ... , ,

      ELECTORAL HESSE . The central court-martial of Hesse presented an animated spectacle on the 24 th . Ou the , criminal bench were seated seven of the magistrates , dre 3 sed in their full robes . They were tbe President and six of the judges of the Criminal Chamber of the Tribunal of Rothenburgb , who were accused of having passed sentence in the month of October last upon Mr . Faber , a government functionary in a public ^ office , of three months' imprisonment , for having violated the constitution of 1848 , which constitution , said the articles of accusation , were already abolished in fact .

      The President of the Tribunal of Rothenburgb rose and stated , in the name of himself and bis colleagues , that they considered it beneath their , dignity to defend themselves again 6 t such an accusation ; that the constitution was in full rigour at the time Mr . Faber was sentenced * tha , t he had been cited before the , Tribunal ofRothenburgh on the requisition of the Public Ministry ; that the sentence passed was in entire accordance with the laws of the country ; and that it had been pronounced upon the conclusions drawn by the Procurator of the State ; and finally , Mr . Faber had acquiesced in the judgment , aud had even voluntarily rendered himself prisoner for the purpose of undergoing the imprisonment to which he had been sentenced .

      The court-martial condemned the seven magis . tratea to eight months' imprisonment in a fortress . This decision , passed by a tribunal composed chiefly of strangers , that is to say , of Bavarian military officers , has produced a very great sensation at Cassel . ' ' .

      troops , in which the latter were defeated . Troops were sent to disperse them , but they were repulsed with the loss of tbeir commander , and twenty-eight killed and wounded . The insurgents had retired to the mountains and fortified themselves . Other towns followed the lead , and in a few days the whole enstern part of the island will be in a state of revolution . The government have been sending troops to Jlatanzas the past week , but it seems they did not call there , as something more urgent pressed them eastward . The Havannah papers say little ou the subject , and it is understood the government are doing all in their power to prevent the true state oi lUnga becoming known .

The vessellsailcd from New York on the 10 th of July . On tho voyage to Liverpool there wa 9 a great deal of unpleasantness between the prisoner , the captain , and tho crew .

About half-past five on Saturday eveniDg witness sent several of the hands of the ship to furl the foretop-sail . The deceased was one of the number . They were seventeen in number , being nine

About ten minutes after they had gone up witness heard tho third mate , who was then on the foretopsail yard ., sing out , " Slack the foretopsail halyards ' , so that we can bunt the ' sail .

A minister was sent for , who endeavoured to administer consolation , but whose efforts were entirely disregarded by the hardened convict .. At fc . * o o ' clock at , nieht he was taken . to the public

      Plaza by tlie committee , and the result is thus given by the ' Herald ' , of . tbe next morning - . t- ' Arrived at tbeflag-staff , some were climbing up it to arrange the halter , when an earnest cry was raised by some present— ' For God ' s sake not to . bang him oil the liberty pole . ' The appeal was heard , and those in charge of the execution mounted the beams on the south porch of the adobe ; a rope was stretched across between two of the supporters , to the middle of which a block and pulley were fastened ; another rope was run through this , with a noose at one end . Volunteers were called for to man the other

      end . The . prisoner ,. who bad not spoken a word , as far as we could hear , during the whole march and the dreadful preparations going on before him , wastaken b y his guard beneath the beam , the noose adjusted around hia neck , and , in an instant , at ten minutes past two o ' clock , he . was jerked high into the air , and hung dangling from the beam , He was a very , tall , stout , heavy man , and his . struggles were violent , and continued several minutes . Gr . ilually they ceased , and he swung slowly round and round . Those who were executing him held steadfastly ou the end of the rope ^ keeping it tense and . allowing no interference . They held him thus for twenty tmnutus . when , no doubt , the effort beiug very '

      great , or the rope stretching , the hanging wretch imperceptibly lowered until his feet hung several inches below the top of the railing . No effort was made to . avert his fate . Several hundred persons were on the ground at the lime of tho execution . When we left , at half-past two o ' clock , he was-still hanging , and a proposition had been offered to appoint a committee to hold him there until daylight , The hardened man walked to the gallows smoaking a cigar , and had dropped the . stub before he was launched into eternity . The rope was adjusted about his neck by Captain Wakeman , well remembered in New York for having sailed away from that eitv with the steamer .-New World while the sheriff ' s
