      FRANCE . A proposition Wfls Uid on Ihe bureau of tlie Assembly , but not read aloud , which has created some surprise : it is on the part of the questeurs far an increase of the defensive means of the Assembly , to be p laesd at their ( the qaesteura' ) disposal . At another meeting of members , amounting to 215 , composed of the Duke de Broglie , Barrot , Faucher , &c . | it was resolved , tbat while opposing the new Electoral Bill tbey would not support any aggressive proposition effecting the President or his government . The committee of fifteen , elected by the bureau to examine and report upon the Electoral Bill , proposed by tbe President's ministers , hate decided against that proposition by a majority of thirteen .

      Paris , Friday . —The following is the list of the Committee : —Wolowski , Baze , Chegaray , Laroche . jacquelin , Dam , Kermarc , Invefr , Dafour , Wenbo . s , ValimKnil , Besmt D'Aav" , Lasterya , Mole , Goyon , and Grevy . La rochejacquelin and Grevy are the only members favourable towards the law . Monday Morning . —General Magnan on Sunday J « st presented to the President of the Republic the officers of the regiments newly arrived in Parts ; the President addressed to them the following ipeech ^ - « Gentlemen , —In receiving the officers of the different regiments of the army who succeed each other in the garrison of Paris , I congratulate myself on seeing them animated with that spirit which was our g lory , and which now constitutes par security , I will sot speak to you , therefore , either of your duties or of discipline . You have

      always performed your duties with honour , whether in the land of Africa , or the soil of France ; and you have always maintained discipline intact in the midst of the most difficult trials . I hope that these trials will not return , but if the gravity of circumstances should rene « r them , and compel me to make an appeal to your devotedness , I am sure that 1 should not bi disappointed , because you know that I demand nothing that is not in accord with my rig ht , recognised by the constitution , with military honour , and with the interest of the country ; because 1 have placed at your bead men who have my entire confidence , and who merit yours ; because , if fiver tbe day of danger should arrive , I will not do as the governments which have preceded me have done ; I will not say to you , "March , and I will follow von , " but 1 sill say to yon , " I raarcti , follow me . "'

      The officers presented to tbe President were to the number of five or six hundred * They met at the Tuileries , and marched thence through the Champs Elysees to the Elysee , and thence to the Ministry of War . The 'Assembles Nationale' characterises the above address aB a proclamation of the 18 sh Bru-- jnaire . The' Ordre' says that however satisfactory a protest against all suppositions , tbe address ia at least strange in the President , who has not the right to command four soldiers .

      The * National still shows the same distrust of the President ' s sincerity as to the abolition of tbe law of May , and notices what is certainly a singular . omission on the part of the ministers . It asserts tbat MM . Lacrosse , Casablanca , and Portoul , the Only members Of the cabinet who are representatives were absent from the bureaux . It appears that if Lacrosse had been present Emmanuel Atbeo might have been elected on the committee instead of Amable Dubois . The absence of Edgar Ney and if . D . Morny was also noticed in the bureaux . This would look as if the zeal of ministers in favour of universal suffrage vrete not warm enough to over , come ( heir objection to co-operate for that object with the Mountain . If this be so , it forms an

      expressive corollary to the grounds assigned for the retirement of Billault . Work , not to be botched , Bwrt Q . 5 < toue by thow VJhose heart is in what tbey do . Appointing a set of conservatives to restore universal suffrage is like setting fine gentlemen to plough . Perhaps tbe President will soon receive more striking proofs of the obstacles arising from the incongruity between his ministers and his policy , and be obliged to strengthen his cabinet with sons lOuUSter find more vigorous materials selected from the republican party . M . de Lamartine , by the way who might be useful at such a conjuncture , is laid up with a severe attack of rheumatism at bis COuntry-house near Macon , end some weeks are expected to elapse before he will be able to present himself in the Assemble .

      The Democratic Socialist Committee 01 Paris has declared it will not take part in the election of the 30 th inst ,, in consequence of the law of the JJlst of Miy , and recommend all republican electors to pursue the same course . The electoral meeting of tbe Democratic Socialist ( Jomuuttee on Wednesday night ueeV ; ned io proceed to business , in consequence of the intrusion of a commissioner and several agents of police . The chairman observed to tbe commissioner that tbe

      meeting was perfectly legal , and tbat under the predecessor of tbe present prefect , it bad been tbe practice for tbe police merely to report the fac * tbat the meeting was that of an electoral committee , and not to be present at tbe sittings . The commissioner of police said he would not discuss the matter , but tbat he intended to remain . Upon this the committee unanimously resolved tbat they could not freely deliberate in tbe presence of the police , and tbe meeting at once separated .

      A meeting of tbe Left took place on Wednesday night at Leraardelay ' s . It was resolved that at the present c mjuneiure speeches being of less importance than aa act , oue member only of the Left Should speak to protest against ihe law of the 31 st of May . The house on Tuesday proceeded with the interpel / au ' ons on lue subject of M . Sartin ' s assault by gendarmes , which was detailed in our columns at the time of its occurrence . M . de Thorigay declared that he had found nothing in the llomcofficetriatAft to this affair , and requested delay . M . Leon Faucher said that be was ready to reply . M . Sartin . then said that he came forward to

      denounce violence exercised against a representative Of the people . He moved for a commission of inquiry . In the beginning of the month of October , he was dining with Borne Mends , in a private house , at Comiaenlry , v . -hen a party of gendarmes walked into the room . M . Sartin , having interposed in a Bcuffle between a gendarme and one of the guests , was huslUd and assaulted by the agents of the public force . When he was taken before the Mayor of Coraraentry he said tbat the gendarmes had done their duty . He entreated the bouse not to abandon the protection of the privileges of its members . M . Leon Fancher said tbat tbe mayor of Commentr ? having been informed that a secret

      meeting was to take place at the fcouge in question had sutrouuded it with gendarmes , while he proceeded to take down the names of the persons piesent . He ( M . Faucher ) on learning tbe affair , had written to express bis satisfaction tbat no blood had been shed . Here a representative said tbat blood had been shed . M . Faucber , having completed the official version , of the facts , said tb&tU . Sartia had violated the decree of the prefect in g iving a dinner , the object of which was political . He was surprised inflagrante delicto , and he would have been prosecuted but for the scruples Taiseu by certain f ariJe 3 agei . ist demanding authorisation to proceed

      agatnst him . ( The whole of M . Faucber ' s defence Of tbeassauH on Af . Sartin was interrupted with frequent esclaasasiona of indignation [ ram the benches of ihe L » ft . ) M . Bae said that the fact described was a feature in a system belonging to the old administration , which he should be very clad Jo « c repudiated by the new one . What had occurred at Commeniry had been occurring all over France . He then proceeded to give a striking picture of the police system adopted throughout the country , and the preposterous insolence of the gendarmerie . M . de Thorigny observed that the official documents leadhyM . Leon Faucher bad not MOeeedea bom Lis ( M . de Thorigny ' s ) hands .

      M . Leon ¥ aucher , in answer produced a report of the gendarmerie of Commentry , incriminating the Tepreseniative of the people , to whom the report said there was no excuses due . M . Sarvia had no Iignt to complain . The country had to complain £ . » haTing hel P t 0 tfwwb the PttU ' ui peace « M .

      dent to order' were frequently heard . M . Dupin attempted to speak , but hu voice was drowned by the noise . Dnring this timM . de Thorigny ren » insd in the tribute . At length he resumed . He said th at he would continue in the calm and dignity of his conscienceto pursue the course which be had followed throughout his life . He persisted in the admission that an agent of the authorities had not Beted according to his duty at Commentry , but , in iiis opinion , Af . Sartin bad alao much to reproach himself with . He should vote against the inquiry . M . de Thorigny terminated by saying that he was resolved to cause order and the law to be respected .

      M . Jules Farre , quoting the words of M . de Thorigny , maintained that legality was on the side of the guests assailed by the gendarmes , and developed the rights of resistance to such attacks . For himself and his friends , they , in similar circumstances , would cause the law to be respected in such away as men of spirit ought to do . M . Daviel said that the house where the dinner was given was nothing else but a public-house , for which a license bad actually been ta en out . He protested against the doctrine of M . Jules Farre . The gendarmes had act d under an order of the prefect , and ought not to be so bitterly repreached , especially as no one was hurt . The order of tbe day , pure and simple , was canied by 491 againat 228 .

      M . Leon Faucher then gave tome explanations relative to an accusavion tbat he had concealed some documents relating to the affair . He maintained that functionaries whe struggled on behalf of the law , bad . need to be defended , instead of being discouraged and disavowed . M . Darn proposed at the close of his report that the Assembly should throw out the electoral bill of tbe government at once after tbe first g eneral debate , and proceed not to a second deliberation , nor to a discussion of the articles . This seems in the present stage of the affair the most emphatic mark of displeasure which the parliament is capable of g iving .

      It is possible tbat the offensive form of M . Dam ' s proposition may cause Ut U not to he thrown out , yet to be brought to a very close division . If the bill be thrown out on the first reading , without being submitted to a second deliberation , the majority will agree on the modifications they are prepared to admit in tbe law of May 31 , and fix the debate on tbe second reading of the Municipal Bill .

      AUSTRIA . With all the boastings of the press about the clemency of the Emperor to the political prisoners of the Austrian Empire , that clemency has not been extended to more than two , though the cri * minal offenders , whose sentences have been remitted or commuted are treble that number . Another curious fact connected with the Emperor ' s visit to Lemberg is worthy of being chronicled . It ascribes the power of working miracles to the wearer of the Imperial crown . On tbe Emperor ' s

      arrival , the general officer in command of the troops lay seriously ill , having been confined to his bed several days with typhus fever . The sick man hearing of the imperial Visit COUld not be kept in his bed ; he managed to put on bis uniform , mount his horse and appear at this review which was to take place , and at which be took the command . Tbe local journal mentions the extraordinary case with the accompanying loyal remark , ' that tbe sight of his sovereign proved a better cure than all tbe doctor ' s medicines , for the patient returned home quite well . '

      Boih in Weimar and Lauenbure ; the ' fundamental German rights' guaranteed in December , 1348 , have been , in accordance with the decree Of the Bund of the 23 rd August , by official government proclamations , abrogated There has appeared in the German papers for the last few days various reports of notes sent by Lord Palmerston to the Austrian cabinet apologising , as it were , for the reception Eossutb is meeting with in England ; and there is a letter from London , published in the * Cologne Gazette , ' purporting to he an official document , and said to be addressed by some lord to some foreign ambassador expressive of the great fright and alarm into which the arrival of the Hungarian rebel in

      England threw the Queen and Prince Albert . Messengers from tbe governments , says this supposititious noble lord , were sent to Kossuth before he landed , urgently requesting him to utter no demagogic sentiments , but to be on his good behaviour ; and besides this , Lord Palmerston has , the Austrian papers declare , pledged himself to the cabinet of Vienna that the rebel shall be hurried off to America with as little delay ss possible . These and such like statements of comae as false as they are absurd , are very industriously circulated in Vienna just how . h is hard / y worth while , periiaps , io allude to them . We do so only because there is a certain part of the English press most anxious to neutralise the effect Kossuth ' s reception in England is making on the continent ; and it is likely enough that these misrepresentations , somewhat exaggerated by the medium they have to pass throutb , may come from that quarter .

      HUNGARY . According to the Austrian official journals Archduke Albrecht has been received by the people oi Hungary , wilh endless rejoicings and enthusiasm as the representative of their sovereign , who , two short years ago , vtas universally denounced as an illegal rasnarch and a traitorous tyrant . The columns of the official journals of tbe kingdom are fall of interesting details , which to the ignorant bear the stamp of truth , and therefore convey the impression ' wiritib ihe govewiwenfc most desires . The official chronicles record in one place the reception by the archduke of a deputation of twelve young maddens , bearing a loaf of newl y-baked

      bread ior presentation , in token of loyal Submission to their sovereign ; in another , of a similar deputation , tbe members of which carried full glasses of wine , the spokeswoman exchanging glasses with the archduke , and then draining Uieir contents to the health of the representative of Francis Joseph . At Jasizberney an ancient horn was brought to fable for the use of tbe company . Out of it " the arcbducke drank to the health of the brave and faithful Jass-Kumanians . ' The legend connected vrith this born ascribes its possession to one of the three Hungarian chiefs who at the entreaty of a Duke of Suabia entered Germany with their hordes to conquer his father , Emperer

      Otto . Defeated and taken prisoner , one of them by uaase Lebel , requested the imperial permission to sound a final note on his horn before laying his head on the block . It was given him , when instead of putting it to his lips , he applied it with such force to the head of one of the G . rma . 'i leaders , whom he mistook for the Emperor , that he immediately fell dead- Tbe horn is preserved as . a creat and honoured curiosity . Archduke Albrecht , striving for popularity , drank f rom this horn , evincing extraordinary interest in its history . He may gain a temporary popularity ? jy abolishing

      the centralised uniforms which Dr . Bach took so much trouble to introduce , by receiving deputations in the Magyar costume , and speaking to them jn their language . So long , however , as tj , state of siege upheld by 150 , 000 bayonets shall continue —so long as the new laws abolishing the old nmnicioal institutions , even down to that of the pandonrtn , who are replaced by K . K . gendarme *—so long as the system of centralisation shall be re tained , and the ancient institutions violated—so long will any popularity which Archduke Albiecai . say enjay be a matter of doubt .

      It is notorious , however , that the people are im-L'ued with hostility to their present tule . The iuaestic eloquence of Kofsuth , bow unhad , still dwells on the ear of his people , that a day of redemption is anxiously but confidently expected . AIthft care bestowed by political and police authori ties on tbe exclusion from Hungary of every news paper or letter containing information of the progress of Kossuth , and his mi g hty speechfB in England ; all their soldiers and gendarmes cannot prevent portions of the latter from reaching the sight of the Hungarian nation . Lot a newspaper with one of the speeches b « t find its way across tbe frontiers , and the example displayed by Koasuth in his struggle with the government

      respecting the publications of the debates of the Diet , will show a host of eager imitators . Small sli p * of paper in the original English , or perhaps French , perhaps translated into German ant ] Magyar , ar « passad from band to band among the tried and united brethren . Thote who can read English are envied . While tbe enthusiasm for the gnat cLam pion of the national cause continues to ferment ' though in hidden channels , the national feeling even manifests itself openly , the government Poking en hopeless and impotent .

      came they have given rise to unpleasant demonstra * tion » . The Hungarian national march Called the ? Ragoezy , is a > so prohibited ; but the public are not to be deprived of every vent for their national enthusiasm . The different airs or dance luies , known under tbe genetic name of C 2 ardas , are demanded with acclamation at ever concert , ; received with enthusiastic plaudits , in which the 'Elzen' predominates , encored twice and eien thrice , the authorities not venturing to interfere . Perhaps they may deem it wise to allow the fire to escape in the harmless though noisy acclamations of popular music , but your readers may rely upon it that it only serves to keep the fire alive , and to make it burn brighter and steadier . Hungary is Hungary still , the Magyar remains

      Magjar-Field Marshal Haynau has found it impossible to keep the property purchased in Hungarj with the sum of money presented to him by the ' Empel-or . His desire to part with it is announced to wise from the absence ot labour and the difficulty of procuring it from other parts of the country . It may be true that the labourers have refused to work for their new nei ghbour ; they have , bowever , done more . Haynau has failed to get in a single crop of any kind . Everything has been destroyed by the peasantry , the wops above awl in the ground have been wasted by fire or other means , the buildings burnt down , and every method of agrarian outrage adopted in order to make the place too hot to hold him . They have succeeded .

      PRUSSIA . The ' Staats Auzeiger has summoned tbe Chambers to meet on the 27 ih inst . It is certain at present that M . Von Bodelschwingh has been on the point of retreating from the ministry in consequence of a difference of opinion witb the Minister of War . The latter wishes to re-organise in some measure tbe military force , but the Minister of Finance refused to resort to a loan , which would have been necessary , for that purpose . Concord , however , is again restored to the cabinet . On whose pill the yielding has been is

      not yet ascertained . It is thought that some deeper queition than that of finance was involved in the proposition of the minister of war , as it is known to be tbe design of the government totally ; though gradually , to change the organisation of the army ; in fact , to form a permanent standing army in lieu of the preeent force , which every three yeata is recruited from the citizen population . It is this purpose that U . Bodelachwingh so strenuously opposes , tbOUgh finance considerations were the only pretext he could put forward , to hinder a first beginning to the realisation of the first

      projects

      SPAIN . The Chambers were opened on the 5 th inst . by a decree of the crown . There was no speech . A vot « of thanks to the army and the inhabitants of Cuba was moved by Bftnaswles , « md earned Hnammoufily . The minister has refused to suppress tbe 'Nation ' on the demand of the tope ' a nuncio , on account of the general indignation caused by the suppression of the' Europa , ' tbe Radical evening paper . However , the ' Nacion' and four other morning prints "we bad informations filed against them by the fiscal .

      The' Gazette' of tbe 2 nd inst . contained a decree which is important , as it proves the tendencies of the Cabinet to cede to the constant exigencies of the Papal government , seconded as it is by the Queen-Mother . Tbe decree says , that pursuant to the considerations stated b y tbe Minister of Grace and Justice , and using tbe faculty reserved in a former decree , the Queen creates in the council of the ecclesiastical chamber another minister of the classes of ecclefiastic dignity , and tbat Don Miguel Gonfanger , archdeacon of the metropolitan church of Valence . This decree has been angrily commented upon by men of almost all parties , for the feeling of Spanish patriotism is always more or

      less strong , and men are sensible that this nomination is one of the measures dictated by Rome by medium of the now . all powerful nuncio , who is now the true king of the country , lording it over the supple ministry , and by a mixture of menace and coaxing doing the will of the College of Cardinals . The council of the ecclesiastical chamber , alluded to in tbe above-mentioned decree , enjoys all the privileges of the old chamber of Castile , which was a kind of court for the transaction of business connected with the presentation of bishops and other ecclesiastical dignitaries , a court which gave the

      crown a considerable deal of church patronage , and which vra 8 abolished when the constitutional system gained ground , as one of those prerogatives which might be easil y used to the detriment of public liberty . The restoration of this court under a new name was one of the first steps of the reactionary party , and their new mode of organising it , by taking away all dependence of the ecclesiastical power upon the civil authority , has given the priesthood as much , if not more power tban they had in the palmy time ? of . the inquisition . Letters from Madrid states that there is now no

      doubt that the suppression of the ' Europa was insisted upon by the Poptj ' s nuncio , vsho offended at the Pope ' s being designated in that print as the Bishop of Rome , threatened to demand his passports if the ' Europa' were not forthwith suppressed . Once convinced of this fact , public opinion has expressed itself everywhere where it can make itself heard , and the opposition have declared their intention of making it ihe subject of serious debate . So little sympathy does the cabinet find in a question in which the national pride has been wounded , that it is even considered as possible tbat the Bravo Murillo administration may be le / t in the ' ulinoritv .

      Meanwhile the premier is bribing &U p&YtteS , right and left , in order to keep them silent . Those who are most intimate with Bravo Murillo hint pretty broadly tbat , if be find the opposition prevent him f rom carrying the Queen ' s government on , he wiil get up a mock rebellion by means of the secret police to have a pretext to close tbe Cortes , declare Madrid in a stale of siege , and transport ; the most , troublesome of his political adversaries to the Philippine Islands . He will also' endeavour to satisfy the Conservative members , whose watchword is measures » ot men , hy introducing some ameliorations in the taxes , in which certain overtaxed districts will be lightened .

      DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . The effects of the negotiations of foreign powers in Danish affairs are now coming more clearly to lig ht . There seems to be no doubt tbat the retreat of both the minis ! ers Beftdtz and Molkte was not a concession to the Eider Dane party , but the result of their own former policy , They had pledged themselves to acta that they have found it impossible to accomplish . In the programme of the reconstructed ministry , already laid before the imperial Diet , the convocation of the Schleswig pr o . vincial Diet is the most important feature , which measure must encounter great difficulties from ihe Danish Radical party . But this is the point chiefly

      insisted on by forei gn diplomatiata , and as Mr . Reedlzhad engaged himself to attain ir , he would have found it , witb the small parliamentary support he could count upon , altogether beyond bis power to obtain the consent ih « rtu > of ihe imperial Diet : for the national party are much embittered bolt , against him and Count Molkte . The exasperation of the Schleswig Radical press against this plan is alto great . It is true tbe ministry propose to sub mit a new election law to the Diet for the constitution of a new assembly , to be immediatel y afterwards called together . But will the former Diet

      now » n the first instance to be re-assembled , whose ami-Danish sentiments , even before the year 1848 . are well known , adopt any election law that will meet the latvs of the government ? Yet it seems certain tbat on the meeting of the provincial diets , for Holstein as weil as for Schleswifr , to which the ministry have been coustrai ^ eJ to consent , the solution cf all tbe critical difficulties of the Danish and Duchy questions must depend ; and to make thu solution poBsiblo , or at least to facilitate it , the two unpopular members of the cabinet are obliged for a while to step behind the ficene . % end to put their work into other hands .

      The 'Faedrelsndet' contains a fulminating article against Austrian influence in Danish affairs , utni goes so far as to say that if the new ministry , at teems probable , should yield to the councils of the two great Gtrmau powers , then must tbe Danish people treat the government itself as its great enemy . The'DcUtsebe Allgemeine Zsittmg' makes mention ( perhaps on no good authority , for the charee

      is one likely enough to be invented ) of secret negotiations between the cabinets of St . Petersbure ami Copenhagen , which , if true , is very important , w'oereliy Denmark meditates yielding some port in the Baltic to Russia . It is true Russia would hardly think any sacrifice too great to obtain a harbour for her fleet , and a nursery of jailors on that coast . The island of Bembolm , which command * the Sound , or the little island , ' Christians , &c ., ' are the statioca named . But even if Denmark were in-

      The ' New York Herald' states that the cause of the delay in the departure of the steamship Atlantic , on Saturday , rose from the nut of tbe crank pin becoming loose . She had proceeded some distance outside tbe bar when the disarrange * ment occurred , aod though but of a trifling character , Captain West , with his usual prudence , thought best to put back to have it fixed . A meeting held in Faneuil-hall , Boston , on the

      evening of the 27 th ult ., for the purpose of petitioning the executive to apply to the government of Great Britain , for the pardon tmd release of Smith O'Brien and the other Irish patriots , was largely attended .

      Advices from Mobile to the 25 th ult . state that the yellow fever ha 9 made its appearance in that city , ' and caused much alarm . The Board of health had met and reported the disease as not on the increase , but advised all strangers to stop away . Subjoined are the details of the loss of the Henry Clay , on Lake Erie , and great sacrifice of life : — ' The propeller , Henry Clay , Captain George Collard , had on board thirty persons , including the crew and one female passenger . At twelve o ' clock , on the nig ht of the 23 rd ult ., when off Long Point , and laying side up in the tough of tbe sea , the captain lashed himself and the female to the jib stay , and tbe crew all lasb ' ed themselves to tbe rigging . In twenty minutes after the boat went to pieces , the deck and cabin came off , and the hull turned bottom upwards . Tbe captain could not unlash in

      time , and went over with the hull . David Keefe , wheelman , the only hand saved , jumped off the wreck and got hold of the pilot houae deck , with nine others , and held on till daylight , when he found all but the first mate and second wheelman washed off . They afterwards secured a pole and a piece of carpet , which they raised for a sail , and held on till eight o ' clock ( the wind and sea still hi gh ) , when the brig , John Martin , bore down and threw ropes to them . Keefe caught one , and was dragged a quartet of a mftebefoTe he was got aboard of tbe brig . His two companions could not catch the ropes , and nothing more was seen either of them or of the raft . Captain Collard was formerly an officer of the Texan navy , and the inventor of the signal lanterns now used for distinguishing vessels at sea . The H « nry Ciay was bound for Ogdensburg , witb a cargo of flour . '

      Many disasters have resulted from the storm which swept over Lake Erie . On the night of the 25 ih ult ., about six miles from Cape Cod , while blowing a gale , the steamship William Perm , which left Boston at four o ' clock in the afternoon of the same day , came in collision with the schooner Belleisle , of Provincetown , juefc returning from a whaling cruise of seven monihs , with about thirty barrels of sperm oili The schooner was struck on the etarboard bOff , SO that she keeled and rolled over .

      LA PLATA . We abslainedfrom publishing , a short time since , intelligence from La Plata , which was prominently put forward here by our contemperaries , and which announced the defeat of General Orihe by General Garzon . This news , purporting to have been received at Rio before the 7 lli of September , was evidently of a less recent date than that received direct from Monte Video , under date of the 6 th of September .

      Our douiits as to the genuineness of the intelligence are confirmed by an arrival at Bordeaux , with dates from Buenos Ayns to the 6 th , and Monte "Video to the 9 ; h of September . This arrival brings no intelligence whatever of Garzon ' s pretfnded victory ; and it is evident , that the affair alluded to must have been the defeat of Oribe ' s brother and his division , which took place in the beginning Of the campaign , gs alread y chronickd by us . The latest accounts , under the above dates , nr < : to the effect that Paraguay was effectually blockaded , and affairs stagiisnt at Buenoa Ajrts . General Oribe was still at Cerrito , where all his force was centrated , and Urquiza was only sixty miles off wiih all his forces .

      The Reward op Vibtob , — A GBATBFUL Y 0 UN 6 Mam Our eympathiea are often excited by the destitution and poverty of some of our fellow creatures whose oircumstances eeem to render them fit objects for the exerciBe of our charity ; tout hOW often in such eases does Ifc turn out that those on ¦ whom we have bestowed our hel p are unworthy of such kindness . Take the following touching case as an instance :- ~ On Monday , at tho Liverpool Police Court , Frederick Bean , a young sailor , was charged with stealing £ 8 from John M'Gratcb , of 77 , Sparling-etreet . It appeared that on the 12 th of last month Bean came to tho house of the complainant , and stated that he was without food or inoner , and in a state ofgreatdestitution . M'Grafcb ,
