Fkance. A Proposition Was Laid En The Bu...
FKANCE . A proposition was laid en the bureau of the As « sembly , but not read aloud , which has created some surprise : it is on the part of the questeurs for an increase of the defensive means of the Assembly , to ba p ' iscza at lhe ' ir (' . he questeurs" ) disposal . At another meeting of members , amounting to 215 , composed of the Duke de Broglie , Barrot , Faucher , & c , it was resolved , that while opposing the new Electoral Bill they would not support any aggressive proposition affecting the President or bis go-\ emment . The committee of fifteen , elected by the bureau to examine and rpport upon the Electoral Bill , proposed by the Presidents ministers , hate decided ag ainst that proposition by a majority of thirteen .
Paris , Fridav . —The following is the list of the committee : ~ W " olowski , Baze , Chegaray , Laroche-JBCqudin , Darn , Kermarc , Invar . B-hnr , Wenbois , Taumesnil , Benoit D'Aay , Lesterya . Mole , Uoyon , aid Grew . Latocbejacquelin audi Grevy are the onlv members favourable towards the law . Monday Morning . -Generai Magnau on Sucday last THPeDtcd to the President of the Republic the officers " of the reg iments newl ? arrived in Paris ; the ¦ president addressed to them the following speech _ ' Gen tlemen , —la receiving the officers of the different residents of the army who succeed each other in the garrison of Paris , I congratulate
myself on seeing thsm animated with that spirit which was our glory , and which now constitutes our security . 1 will not 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 bave 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 renew them , and compel me to make an appeal to your devotedness , I am sure that I
should not 1 ) 8 disappointed , because you know that I demand nothing that is not in accord with my right , recognised by the constitution , with military honour , and with the interest of the country ; because I have placed at your head men who have my entire confidence , an d who merit yours ; because , if ever the 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 « ill follow you , " hut 1 * will say to you , "I march , follow me . "'
The officers presented to the President were to the number of five or six hundred . They met at the Taileties , and marched thence through the Champa Elysees to the Elysee , and thence to the ' Ministry of War . The 'Assembles Natiocale' characterises the above address as a proclamation of the lSibBruoaire . The' Ordre' says that however satisfactory b protest against all suppositions , the address is 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 the law of May , and notices what is certainly a singular omission on the part of the ministers . It asserts that MM . Lacrosse , Casablanca , and Fortoul , the osly membsrs of the cabinet who are representatives were absent from the bureaus . It appears that if Lacrosse had been present Emmanuel Arago might have been elected on the committee instead of Amable Dubois . The absence of Edgar Ney and M . D . Moray was also noticed in the bureaux . This would look as if the zsal of Ministers in favour of universal suffrage were not warm enough to overcome their objection to co-operate ( or that object with the Mountain . If this be so , it forms an
expressive corollary to the grounds assigned for the retirement of BilJault . Work , not to be botched , must be done by those whose heart is in what they do . Appointing a set of conservatives to restore universal suffrage is like setting fine gentlemen to plough . Perhaps the President will soon receive more striking proofs of the obstacles arising from the incongruity between his ministers and his policy , and be obliged to sttengthah his eahinefc with some robuster ami more vigorous materials selected from the republican party . M . de Lamartine , by the way who might he useful at such a conjuncture , is laid np with a severe attack of rheumatism at his country-bouse near Macon , and some weeks are expected to elapse before he will be able to present himself in the Assembly .
The Democratic Socialist Committee of Paris has declared it will not take part in the election of the 30 th lust ., in consequence of the law of the 31 st of May , and recommend all republican electors to pursue the same course . The electoral meeting of the Democratic Socialist Committee on Wednesday night declined to proceed to business , in consequence of the intrusion of a commissioner and several agents of police . The chairman observed to the commissioner that the
meeting was perfectly legal , and that under the predecessor of the p resent prefect , it had been the practice for the police merely to report the fact that the meeting was that of an electoral committee , and not to be present at the sittings . The commissioner of police said he would not discuss the matter , but that he intended to remain . Upon this the committee unanimously resolved that they could not freely deliberate in the presence of the police , and the meeting at once separated .
A meeting of the Left took place on Wednesday night at Leuvardelay ' s . It was rtsolved that at the present conjuncture speeches being of less importance than au act , one member only of the Left should speak to protest against the law of the 31 st Of May . The house on Tuesday proceeded with the interpellations on the subject of M . Sartin ' s assault by gendarmes , which was detailed in our columns at the time of its occurrence . M . de Thorigny declared that he had fonnd nothing in the Homeoffice relative to this affair , and requested delay . M . Leon Faucher said that he 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 some friends , in a private house , at Commeniry , when a party of gendarmes walked into the room . M . Sartin , having interposed in a £ cnf 9 e between a gendarme and one of the guests , was hustled and assaulted by the agents of the public force . When he was taken before the Mayor of Commentry he said that the gendarmes had done their duty . He entreated the house not to abandon the protection of the privileges of its
members . M . Leon Faucher said that the mayor of Commentry having been informed that a secret meeting was to iski place at the house in question had surrounded it with gendarmes , while he proceeded to take down the names of the persons pre * Bfint . He ( M . Faucher ) on learning the affair , had written to express bis satisfaction that no blood had been shed . Here a representative said that blood lad been shed . M . Faucher , having completed the Official version of the facts , said that M . Sartin had violated the decree of the prefect in giving a dinner the object of which was political . He was surprised in flagrante delicto , and he would haw B & en
pwsecnted hut for the scruples raised by certain parties against demanding authorisation to proceed against him . ( The whole of M . Faucher ' s defence of the assault on M . Sartin was interrupted with frequent exclamations of indignation from the benches of the Left . ) M . Bac said that the fact described was a feature in a system belonging to the old administration , which he should be very glad to see repudiated by the new one . What had occurred at Commentry 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
f ead by M . Leon Faucher had not proceeded from lis ( M . de Thorigny ' s ) hands . M . Leon Faucher , in answer , produced a report ot tte gendarmerie of Commentry , incriminating the representative of the people , to whom the report said there was no excuses due . M . Sartin had no » ght to complain . The country had to complain «* him for having helped to disturb the pablic peace . r minud aC ? * hap P y t 0 onsetve *¦* « " We oSltt tft ? e » s umed ^ e responsibility of the S ^ orn ?

dent to order were frequently heard . M . Dupin attempted to speak , but his voice was drowned by the noise . Dnring this limM . de Thorigny ra-n lined in the tribute . At length he resumed . He said th at he would continue in the calm and dignity of his consciencsto pursue the course which ha had folded throughout his life . He persisted in the admission that an agent of the authorities bad notacted according to his duty at Commentry , but , m his opinion , M . Sartin had also 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 . t the
M . Jules Favrp , quoting words of M . de Thorigny , maintained that legality was ou the side of t he guests assailed by the gendarmes , and developed the rights of resistance to such attacks . For himself and his friends , they , in similar circuni . stances , 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 pubiir > huuse , for which a license had actually been ta en out . He protested against the doctrine of M . Jules Favre . The gendarmes had act d under an order of the prefect , and ought not to be so bitterly reproached , especially as no one was hurt . The order of the day , pure and simple , was carried by 491 against 223 .
M . Leon Faucher then gave Fome explanations relative to an accusation that he had concealed some documents rela'V » j to the affair . He maintained that func ' . ionarks who struggled on behalf of the law , bad need to be defended , instead of using discouraged and disavowed . JI . Darn proposed at the close of his report that the Assembly should throw out the electoral bill of the government at once after the first general dehate , and proceed not to a second deliberation , n « r 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 giving .
It is possible that the offensive form of M . Daru ' s preposition may cause it , if not to be 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 the law of May 31 , and fix the debate on the 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 criminal offenders , whose sentences bave been remitted or commuted are treble that number . Another curious fact connected with the Emperor ' s visit to Lerobarg is worthy of being chronicled . It ascribes the power of working miracles to the wearer of the imperial crown . On the Emperor ' s
arrival , the general officer m 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 he kept in his bed ; he managed to put on his uniform , mount his horse and appear at this review which was to take place , and at which he took the command . The local journal mentions the extraordinary case with the accompanying loyal remark , ' that the sight of his sovereign proved a better cure than all the doctor ' s medicines , for the patient returned home quite well . '
Both in Weimar and Lauenhurs ; the ' fundamental German rights' guaranteed in December , 1848 , 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 Kossuth 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 the 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 vsith as little delay as possible . These and such like statements of course as false as they are absurd , are very industriously circulated in Vienna just now . It is hardly worth while , perhaps , to 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 through , may come from that quarter .
HUNG AM . According to the Austrian official journals Archduke Albrecht has been received by the people of Hungary , with endless rejoicings and enthusiasm as the representative of their sovereign , who , two short years ago , was universally deuouncad as an illegal monarch and a traitorous tyrant . The columns of the official journals of the kingdom are full of interesting details , which to the Ignorant bear the stamp of truth , and therefore convey the impression which the government most desires . The official chronicles record in one place the reception by the archduke of a deputation of twelve young ma : dens , bearing a loaf ef newly-baked
bread for presentation , in token of loyal submission to their sovereign ; in another , of a similar deputation , the members of which carried full glasses of wine , the spokeswoman exchanging glasses with the archduke , and then draining their contents to the health of the representative of Francis Joseph . At Jasszberney an ancient horn was brought to table for the use of the company . Out of it the archducke drank to the health of the brave and faithful Jass-Kumam ' ans . ' The legend connected with this horn ascribes its possession to one of the three Hungarian chiefs who at the entreaty of a Duke of Suahia entered Germany with their hordes to conquer his father , Emberar
Otto . Defeated and taken prisoner , one of them by name Lehel , 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 German leaders , whom he mistook for the Emperor , that he immediately fell dead- The horn is preserved as a great and honoured curiosity . Archduke Albrecht , striving for popularity , drank from this horn , evincing extraordinary interest in its history . He may gain a temporary popularity by abolishing
the centralised uniforms which Dr . Bach took so much trouble to introduce , by receiving deputa tions in the Magyar costume , and speaking to them in their language . So long , however , as the state of siege upheld by 150 , 000 bayonets shall continue —so long as the new laws abolishing the old municipal institutions , even down to that of the pandonren , who are replaced by K . K . gendarmes so long as the system of centralisation shall be re tained , and the ancient institutions violated so long will any popularity Which Archduke Albrecht may enjoy be a matter of doubt .
It is notorious , however , that the people are im . bued with hostility to their present rule . The maestic eloquence of Kossuth , now unh a d , still dwells on the ear of his people , that a day of redemption is anxiously but confidentl y expected . Althe cars bestowed by political and police author ! ties on the exclusion from Hungary of every TteWB paper ot letter containing information of the progress of Kossuth , and bis mighty speeches in England ; all their soldiers and gendarmes cannot prevent portions of the latter from reaching the si ght of the Hungarian nation . Let a newspaper with one of the speeches but find its way across the frontiers , and the example displayed by Kossuth in his struggle with the government
respecting the publications of the debates of the Diet , will show a host of eager imitators . Small sli ps of paper in the original English , or perhaps French , perhaps translated into German and Magyar , are passed from hand to hand among the tried and united brethren . Those tTuO Can read English are envied . While the enthusiasm for the great chara , pion of the national cause continues to ferment though in hidden channels , the national feeling even manifests itself openly , the government looking on hopeless and impotent . In Prwshwg , for instance , a city well known for the bourgeoise character of its German inhabitants , the baud o , the regiment stationed there has been ordered no to . play the » SmperorYor 'Radelzky ' s March , ' bet

cause they have given rise to unpleasant demonstra tionp . The Hungarian national march called the ' Ragoeay , ' 5 s also prohibited ; hut the public are not to he deprived of every vent for their national enthusiasm . The different airs or dance tunes , known under the genetic name of Czardas , are demanded with acclamation at ever concert , received with enthusiastic plaudits , in which the 'Elzen' predominates , encored twice and even 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 , hut jour readers may rely upon it that it only serves to keep the fire alive , and to make it burn bri ghter and steadier . Hungary is Hunj & ty still , vhe Magyar remains
Magyar-Field Marshal Haynau has found it impossible t « keep the property purchased in Hungary with the sum of money presented to hiva by the ' Emperor . His desire to part with it is announced to arise from the absence of labour and the difficulty of procuring it from other parts of the country . I ' may be true that the labourers have refused to work / or their new neighbour ; 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 crops above and in the ground bave been wasted b y fire or other means , the buildings burnt down , and every method of agrarian outrage adopted in order to make the p lace too hot to hold him . They have succeeded .
PRUSSIA . The ' Staats Anzsiger' has summoned the Chambers to meet ou Hie 27 th inst . It is certain at present that M . Von Bodelscb - wingh has been on the point of retreating from the ministry in consequence of a difference of opi - nion with the Minister of War . The latter wishes to re-organise in some measure the military force , but the Minister of Finance refused to resort lo a loa . -j , which would have been necessaiy , 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 question than that of finance was involved in the proposition of the tainister of war , as it is known to be the design of the goverament totally , though gradually , to change the organisation ot the army ; in fact , to form a permanent standing army in lieu of the present force , which every three years Is recruited from the citizen population . It is this purpose that M . Bodelschwingh so strenuously opposes , though finance considerations were the only pretext ha 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 vote of thanks to the army and the inhabitants of Cuba was moved by Benavides , and carried unanimously . The minister has refused to suppress the 'Nacion ' on the demand of the Pope ' s nuncio , on account of the g eneral indignation caused by the suppression of the' Europa , ' the Radical evening paper . However , the * Nacion' and four other morning prints have had informations filed against them by the fiscal .
The ' Gazette' of the 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 . The decree says , that pursuant to the considerations stated by the Minister of Grace and Justice , and using the faculty reserved in a former decree , the Queen creates in the council of the ecclesiastical chamber another minister o ! the classes . of ecclesiastic dignity , and that Don Miguel Gonfanger , archdeacon of the metropolitan church of Valence . This decree has been angrily commented upon by men of almost all partie ? , 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 the above-mentioned decree , enjoys ail 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 was abolished when the constitutional system
gained ground , as one of those prerogatives which mi ght be easily 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 priest " hood ts much , if not more power than they had in the palmy times of the inquisition . Letters from Madrid states that there is now no doubt that the suppression of the ' Europa' was insisted upon by the Pope ' s uuuevo , who offended at the Pope ' s being designated in that print as the Bishop of Rome , threatened to demand his pass *
poits if the' Europa were not forthwith suppressed . Once convinced of this fact , public opinion has expressed itself everywhere where it can make itsdf beard , and the opposition have declared their intention of making it the 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 that the Bravo Mnrillo administration may be left in the minority . Meanwhile the premier is bribing all parties , right and left , in order to keep them silent . Those who
are most intimate with Bravo Murillo hint pretty broadly that , if he find the opposition prevent him from carrying the Queen ' s government on , he will get up a mock rebellion by means of the secret police to have a pretext to close the Cortes , declare Madrid in a state 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 not men , by 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 light . There seems to be no doubt that the retreat of both the ministers Kee . dtz and Molkte was not a concession to the Eider Dane party , hut the result of their own former policy . They had pledged themselves to acts that they have fonnd it impossible to accomplish . In the programme of the reconstructed ministry , already laid he / ore the imperial Diet , the convocation of the Schleswig provincial Diet is the most important feature , which measure must encounter great difficulties from the Danish Radical party . But this is the point chiefly
insisted on by foreign diplomatists , and as Mr . Reedlzhad engaged himself lo attain-it , he would have found it , with the small parliamentary support he could count upon , altogether beyond his power to Obtain the consent thereto of the imperial Diet : for the national party are much embittered both against him and Count Moikte . The exasperation of the Schleswig Radical press against this plan is aho great . It is true the ministry propose to submit a new election law to the Diet for the constitution of a new assembly , to be immediately afterwards called together . But will the former Diet ,
now in the first instance to be re-assembled , whose anti-Danish sentiments , even before the year 1848 , are well known , arJopt any election law that will meet the laws cf the government ? Yet it seems certain that on the meeting of the provincial diets , for Holstein as well as for Schleswi g , to which the ministry have been constrained to consent , the solution of all the critical difficulties of the Danish and Duchy questions must depend * , and to make lhi » solution possible , or at least to facilitate it , the two unpopular members of the cabinet are obliged for a while to step behind the scenes , and to put their work into other hands .
The * Faedrelandei' contains a fulminating article against Austrian influence in Danish affairs , and g oes so far as to sas that if tha new ministry , as seems probable , should yield to the councils of the two great German powers , then must the Danish people treat the government itself as its great enemy . The 'Deutsche . Allgemeine Zeitung' makes mention ( perhaps on no good authority , for the charge
is one likely enough to be invented ) of secret negotiations between the cabinets of St . Petersburg and Copenhagen , which , if true , is very important , whereby Denmark meditates yielding some port in the Baltic lo Russia . It is true Russia would hardly think any sacrifice too great to obtain a harbour for her fleer , and a nursery of sailors on » bfl ! coast . The island of Bernhoim , which commands the Sound , or the little island , 'Christian s . &< -.., ' are the stations named . But even if Denmark were in-

duced lo relinquish either of these possessions , England , and parhaps Prance too , Would oppose the concession .
UNITED STATES . The British and North American Royal mail steam-ship America , Captain Shannon , arrived in the Mersey on Sunday evening at half-past nine o ' clock . The America left lioston at noon on the 29 th ult ., and Halifax at 2 . 25 a . m ., on the 31 st ult . She brings thirty-two passengers , and 156 , 720 dob . in specie on freight . The Europa , with the outward mails of the 18 th ult ., arrived at Halifax on the 28 th ult . , at nine a . m . The United States male steam-ship Pacific arrived at New Yoik at one p . m . of the 26 ih .
The ' New York Herald' slates that the cause of the delay in the departure of the steamship Atlantic , on Saturday , rose from the nut of the crank pin becoming loose . She had proceeded some distance outside the bar when the disarrangement occurred , and though but of a trifling character , . Captain West , with his usual prudence , thoug ht best to put hack to have it used . A meeting held in Faneutl-hall , Boston , on the
evening of the 2 / th ult ., for the purpose of petitioning the executive to apply to the government of Great Britain , for the pardon and release of Smith O'JJritjn and the other Irish patriots , was largely attended . Governor Boutwail presided , and speeches were made by B . F . Hailett , Charles L . Woodbury , Colonel Isaac H . Wright , and others . The metting adopted the form of an address to President Fillmore , praying him to make application in behalf of the Irish exiles .
Advices from Mobile to the 25 th ult . state that the yellow fever has 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 hak ^ Erie , and great sacrifice of life : — 'The propeller , Henry Clay , Captain George Coliard , had on board thirty persons , including the crew and one female passenger . At twelve o ' clock , on the night of the 23 rd ult ., when iff Long Point , and laying side up in the tough of the sea , the captain lashed himself and the female to the jib tivj , and the crew all lashed themselves to the rigging . In twenty minutes after the boat went to pi . » ces , the deck aud cabin came off , and the hull turned bottom upwards . The 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 house deck , whh nine others , and held on till daylig ht , when he found all but the first mate and second wheMman washed off . They afterwards secured a pole and a piece of carpet , which they raised lor a sail , and held on till eight o ' clock ( the wind and sea still high ) , when the brig , John Martin , bore down and threw ropes to them . Keefe caught one , and was dragged a quarter of a mile before he was got aboard of the brig . His two companions could not catch the ropes , and nothing more was seen either of them cr of the raft . Captain Collard was formerly an officer of the Texan navy , aud the inventor of the signal lanterns now used for distinguishing vessels at sea . The Henry Clay was bound for Osdensburg , with a cargo . of flour . '
Many disasters have resulted from the storm which swept over Lfcke Erie . On the nigbt of the 25 th ult ., about six miles from Cape Cod , while blowing a gale , the steamship William Penn , which left Boston at four o ' clock in the afternoon of the same day , came in collision with the schooner Belleisle , of Provincetown , just returning from a whaling cruise of seven months , with about thirty barrels of sperm oil . The schooner was struck on the starboard bow , so that she keeled and rolled over . There were twenty persons on board the schooner , seven of whom jumped on board the William Penn , nine were taken from the wreck , and four were lost .
LA PLATA . We abstainedfrom publishing , a short time since , intelligence from La Plata , which was prominently put forward here by our contemporaries , and which announced the defeat of General Oribe by General Gaizon . This news , purporting to have been received at Rio before the 7 th Of September , was evidently of a less recent date than that received direct from Monte Video , under date of the Glh of Sep : ember .
Our doubts as to the genuineness of the intelligence are confirmed by an arrival at Bordeaux , with dates from Buenos Ajrra to the Cth , and Monte Video to the 0 ; h of Ssptember . This arrival brings no intelligence whatever of Garzon ' s pretended victory ; and it is tvident that the affair alluded to must have been the defeat of Orihe ' s brother and his division , which took place in the beginning of the campaign , as already chronicled by us . The latest accounts , under the above < 3 ates , are to the effect that Paraguay w ' as effectually blockaded , and affairs stagnant at Buenos Ay res . General Oribe' was still at Cerrito , where all his force was centratcd , and Urquiza was only sixty miles off with ill his forces .
^Om'gn ^Fewlfahs. The French Government ...
^ om ' gn ^ fewlfaHs . The French government has ordered two war steamers to be prepared at Brest for an expedition against the Moorish pirates . General d'Alphonse , commander-in-chief of the state of siege of the department of the Cher , has issued lan order closing fourteen cafes and public houses at Bourges , Marrast has been struck with paralysis . An : ongat other lions who have lately arrived in Rome is the celebrated Silvio Pellico , who is travelling with the Marchesa Barolo nee Colbert . He appears ti have somewhat suffered in bis mind by all he has gone through , and carries his religious feelings so far as to have become a complete Jesuit . General Cavaignae is to marry Madle . Odier , daughter of the banker of that name . The lady is said to possess a fortune of one million .

As AnitniCAN Tragedy . —A mortal combat oc « curred a low miles from this place on the 18 th ulfc ,, between A . C . Hopper , a citizen of this county , and his brother , a resident of Kentucky . It seems that ah elder brother of the Hoppers died in Kentucky a few years since , a bachelor . Ho had some property , which a younger brother desired to keep without making any division with his other brothers . The other brothers , including A . C . Hopper , insisted on a division , and had tho property administered upon and sold . This greatly enraged their younger brother , who was a desperate character . At tuesaAc A .

A day or two previous to the 13 th ult . A . C .
Hopper learned that his younger brother was in ambush , secreting himself in the woods about his plantation , and was armed , a . ^ he suspected , for the purpose of assassinating ! him tno first opportunity .

It appeared that on the 12 th of last month Bean came to the house of the complainant , and stated that he was without food or monev . and in a state of great destitution . M'Grated ' i
who is a hard-working , honest man , was induced from his story to take him and give htm lodging iind food until such time as he should procure employment . After staying two day ? , and doubtless learning during that interval spine of tho "family secrets , " the prisoner decamped , taking with him the sum . mentioned ( amassed from the fruits of complainant ' s industry ) , to obtain which ho had broken open a box in one of the bed-rootns .. After committing this extraordinary act of ingratitu ! e he entered oh a course of dissipation , and was at last traced to a brothel in Gloucester-street , where he was apprehended on Sunday last . The evidence not being quite complete he was remanded for a week . —Liverpool Standard .
