The War In Hungary. More Glorious Victor...
THE WAR IN HUNGARY . MORE GLORIOUS VICTORIES OF THE HUNGARIANS . On the 3 rd of Ausust the Hungarians achieved one of ilw greatest rad most decisive Miclories which has marked the progress of the war of independence . The result has be « n the entire rout aud defeat of that corps , which has lost Us position , guns , and stores , wkli the bridge over the Danube , which connected them with the Sehutt Their outposts have hetn dtiv ^ n up to Vieselburg , twenty-five miles nearer Vienna than Raab . Raab , Gorgo , Acs , and
othtr maces , have been taken . The commnnica iion with Peeth has been comp letely cut off . Finally , the tmwauassment that has resulted from this blow to ila garrison of Pesth , the corps of Schhck , the arm- of Havnao , and the Russian corps of Paniuliu , no * - ; o speak of the forces under Paskiewitch , all of whiob are thereby cut off from Vienna , is so great u to make the victory of ten-fold more importance . From another quarter we have received the following communication , which throws important lig ht on the general affairs of Hungary , and the position and prospects of the Russian and Austrian lilies .
Sehwarzenhurg is gone to 'W arsaw . He left Vienna just in time to miss Larnoriciere at Cosel , where the Austrian and Prussian railways meet . There they told the Austrian Premier that the Frenchman had gone to Cracow , whereat he was greatly incensed , and said , * What the devil does he santat C-acaw ? * It is , thought the Czu will not be pleased either at this little detour , which looks lite a lickerish curiosity to know how things were going on further down , and was exactly what a diplomatist situ miytM Konlu have avoided . Owing to tsls rx'fl j his whole mission may prove a failure , which no liberal mortal need , perhaps deplore , while the poucy of the Czar ' s dear brother at Paris is setting with such a sttong current towards absolutism .
The Russian official report estimates the force left by Gaorgey at Waiizfn , which carried the baggage :-f his army hack to Comorn , at 12 . 200 men . The -.- . oops left at Comorn under Klapka were 10 . 000 m ? H . Therefore the whole force , which aatouudt-d Czorich by its unexpected bulk on the 3 rd . r , y « ot lar short of 23 , 000 men . LatteJy the force at Comorn was given out at seven or eight thous * i .-d men , and certainty Haynaadid not calculate it at more than ten . Snrac little lUht was thrown on ih : s miscalculation by the report of Major Bel . k ^ s , the officer who was taken in the Pesth dil'Ei : nc , brought to Camorn on the night of the 29 th , and sent hack next day to the Austrian out .
po *!* . Bekkers immediately warned General Cznrirh of the fate ! mistake which existed as to his number of the garrison , which he said cauld nat be rmfler fun-en or sixteen thousand . Probably the estimate was higher , but the Vienna papers did not dare in publish it for fear of alarming the capital . Czc- ? iih had scarcel y time to call in the nei ghbouring o ^ iachments , and concentrate his scattered corps , before Klapka was down upon him like an arahncbe , and drove the Austrians back to Wessflhurg . twenty miles on the Vienna side of Raab Uo ^ ii there is really such a corps as that of General Aulich in existence , I mean something str .-iErer and more effective than would l-e barely
snSei-3 nt to check the weak division of Nugent , the iiK-ment is evidently come for a strong detachment of this corps , united with a similar force Im-j-. Comoro , to fall upon the Austrian columns in Wetsprim and Stahlvreissenbcrg . and either cru .-h or drivd them into Buda . Probably the next newr . we shall hear will be the destruction of those geni 5 « ns . Georgey ' s force , which passed the Theiss at Tcfcay , was not more than 35 , 000 men . Of all his artillery , 120 guns , Georgey had osly lost two . It is a mistake to suppose there was a severe haUle st Miscolcz any mora than at Waitzen . It WAS merely a repetition of the same artificea cem & fistration of his rear guard while he was
gEiniaj the Theiss . Paskiewitcn ' s last despatch was dated from Bossnrmeny , ten or fifteen miles to the sorih-west of Debreczin . Of the day I am no ; sure , but it was one of the last two days o : July . Sis men were dying off like flies ; and it is certain that if be cannot manage to crush the Hioesriati array before the end of August , his army will Ijl- ; n reduced by mortality and sickness as to he none up for this campaign . The Russians and Austrhns were quarrelling like cat and dog ; and the es » £ nds grumbled on either side at nnt being
pTApetiv suppcried . The Russian officers bateit the campaign . The climate airVcts them all disagreeably . Malaria plays the deuce with the troops . ThehTsving was execrable , and no forage was to be had . Several waggons at the Warsaw terminus were lad * n with ship-biscuit , worse than ' the rema : ti w hiscu't after a voyage , * and in a state of mca'dra ^ ss bordering on decompositi-n . Several Other * avr % nns groaned with ' apothecaries ' stuff , " great pin of which might have been saved by an improved quality of food .
A cir-rresjiondent from Presbnrg gives us the foj . los-sr-j account ofthe occupation of Raab by the Him ^ anans *— _ * Tiiis morning , as I was standing on the bridge . I obserwd a tumultuous assemblage of officers and Boldiers rushing past me , some on horseback , others aJaar . Immediately after their arrival in Presbnrg horsemen were sent off in all directions , and it was clear that some important event must have happened . A short time afterwards there was anothe . n < h r : f sti'diersin a pitiable plight—dirty , disarmed an « v-chausled—and in a trice the whole town was
m « state «> f the greatest consternation and excitemen * . Though the Austrians have greatl y benefited the pface by spending a deal of money here , yet the se-imients of the Hungarian and German part o > the pms'slatiun have been with difficulty repressed— - indeed there were some manifestations of public feeling . For soon it became known , beyond the possibility of a doubt , that a party of from 5 , 000 to 10 , 00 !) Hungarians bad surprised the garrison of Raa " *>; that they had pushed their advanced guard io V'i s ^ lburg , and that they were within sight of AllMibur * . twelve English miles from Pressburg . So sod-Jon was the approach of the Hungarians upon Raab that the Imperialist garrison of that place was
seized ' w ; fh a panic . Th .-ir flig ht was general and disordcriv in the extreme . The fugitive « ifficers preeubss ^ that the cities of Raab and Gorgo were taken —rale .-A , there was nothing to prevent the Hungarians franr taking thenii and with th ^ m an enormous quantity of stores , the whole commissariat of tn * I . annalist army , which had been concentrated in 'he t-. vo places previous to being sent into the in-Uivit u ji * . army of General Haynau . At Garg « the n « m ? arians mast have found t « o steamers with a quantity of boats w hich they were intended to $ tt ; - > ¦ ' tne quays * ere above 80 , 000 bushels of oais am eaonrnms qu unities of flour , rice , and
Tinsgar . 2 nd 2 , 400 head of cattle—all of which fell intn : he hands of the Hungarians . The loss of the Imp ? n ' . ^; s ts is estimated at 1 , 000 000 of florins , but in ie < £ -. y the loss is much greater , for the lives of the impr " : ialist armies in Hungary depended on thr safely of their stores , which cannot now he replaced in timi' to be of any use to them . The Hungarians caplu'ad also two comranies of foot and six ph-ces of artillery . Several troops of Lancers , too . vere missing . Thus , within a few days is revenged , as if hy \ i -nvcn fcelfi ths aitocioua spoliation of the Jevsa oi liisds . Pesth . ' Of the impression which the news of this disaster mark- at Vienna we have the following
account;—* Th's morning Vienna present «? d an unusually ex . cited and flurried appearance . Four battalions were desnaic'ied by railway to Pressburg . Among tbem was a battalion of R-fl ? s . They were mere lads . Th * T 2 bad been some mutiny among them . I undeTSMoi ] they had refused to march until the Emperor set .-t to say that ' . hey shim'd not be used against the enemy . At length they consented to do so , hut even then the scene was heartrending . The poc-r young fellows moaned and wept aloud . They eri *< 2 that to march against the Hungarians was to go is d ? ath . The officrs yielded less to their feelings but they too parted-frara their friends and remtk'us v . ith very evident signs of emotion , and then hurried the men off . Near the railroad there was a den > s cros-d of curious spectators . Here again the
yoiir . c- riflemen tarried and bemoaned their fate . They said . « We are going to be shot ! ' and , addre & vug tho crowd , they cried— ' Farewell for ever . We Mall never return" The fotfieers intreated tte » i it lie quiet and resigned to their fate . They auhsiUttd at length . It is staged here that Raynas findj the oifficultifis of his march almost insin ^ -able . There are rumours of his hiving been forced io fall back upon Ketshkemet . His so . 'diers are stai'd to have suffered more than any army ever aid . Th-lr march from Pesth was a weary ploddinr * L « rongn the deep bnrning sand , The horses sn « * iw artillery couW scarcelv move along . AVith the es-eption of Ketshkemet they did not find a single village . There were neither human creatures nor animals . The inhabitant ! of those places had

wandered away ; they had tiurnt their villages and filled the v > eib with putrid carcases of men and animals . No water is to be had , and the soldiers must drink the hot and corrupted water which General Haynau carries along with his army . They mix it with vinegar to make it drinkable . On their weary march they found , as yet , not a trace of the Hungarian army , and it is very doubiM whether that army will oppose them at Sz ^ gedin . But if the Hungarians were to attack and defeat General Haynau at Szegedui i the probability is that but few of the Imperialists would live to tell the fate of the battle , for the Landsturm would rise up in their rear and prevent their escape . '
The * Kolner Zniung' slates , that so great was the terror of the garrison at Pressburg , that barricades were thrown up to meet the first attack of the Hungarians , who it was thought would come to Pressburg nest . The general consternation was increased by the news of the occupation of Altenburg by the Hungarians , and of the defeat oi General Putt ' s brigade , the remainder of which had bfen driven hack to Neutra . Whether the Hungarians who
occupied Raab were , indeed , part of the garrison of Comorn , is still a matter of doubt . The Vienna correspondent of the * Kolner Zeitung' states , that the Hungarian General , Aulich , has left his posi tion on the Plalten-lake , and that he baa marched through the forest ofBakong and appeared at Raab . fn other papers it is stated that it is Klapka who thus scours the country ; but that General Aulich is marching up from the PJatten-lake to join his troops with those of Klapka .
Vienna papers and letters inform us of the continued and painful interest felt at Vienna on the subject <> f the late successes of the Hungarians . The occupation of Raab is considered a terrible blow for the Austrians ; indeed , as the time wears on , thf details of the loss which they suffered iu that affair coma to light . All the artillery at Aatsh and Motsha was taken by the Hungarians , who took , four batteries to Comorn , and spiked the re st . One battalion of the Regiment Mszucchelli was captured , 40 , 000 < wt . of copper money , 50 000 uniforms , and 100 , 000 cwt . of flour were taken at Raab , and at Gyono the Hungarians took -five vessels loaded with corn and with seventeen cws . of gunpowder . Near the civy of Galamhs the . Hungarians intercepted a Russian transport with 30 , 000 regimentals .
The great Iossps which the Russian army has sustained in Hungary are strikingly atte .-ted by the great quantities of military clothing , arms , and knepsacks , which are brought back to Cracow from the scene of action . On the 25 th ult ., according to a letter from Cracow in the Constitutionelles BlatansBeohmen , ' twenty waggons full of the effects of dead soldiers were brought up from Hungary into that city .
MOST IMPORTANT ! —REPORTED GREAT VICTORY OF THE HUNGARIANS . Paris , Tdesday . — ' La Presse ' states that a letter was received yesterday , by a member of the Commission ofthe LegisladveAssembly , announcing that the great Russian army had been completely defeated by the Magyars . It was added that the Russian army of reserve was marching nig ht and day towards Podo'ia and Volhynia , which were uncovered by the defeat , and which provinces the . Emperor Nicholas ( eared would be invaded by the victorious Hungarians . Letters from Vienna of the 10 th would seem to
confirm the above report ; they stale that in the course of the day Prince Orloff arrived here from the head-quarters of Paskiewitch . Rumours became prevalent as soon as the Prince ' s arrival was known that Genreey had been defeated by the Russians , and a bulletin announefng the definitive triumph was momentarily expected . In a short time , however , it was ascertained that Orloff wa < the me-senger , not of victory , but of defeat . Paskiewitch , it is c nfidently sb > t d , has been entirely routed . No bulletin was pub idled , and at the time our despatches were sent off the detail- , were still unknown .
Frnm the western theatre of war we learn that the defeat of the Austrians before Comorn was mo e ? nd more serious than was at first supposed The Maeyare are swarming tlrough the whole conn ry , far and wide . They already stand between Wieselburgand iIochtr < ss , have occupied > z-r > 'ahely , in the Schuft , and northwards by Neaimnsel , h ^ ve thr-wn a bridge over the Neutra . A stennrr , with tro ^ p- and ammunition , is said to have fallen into their hand ? - .
ITALY . PBIKSTiy . TTRANNY . — EXCITED STATB OF BOMB . The * Giornale di Roma' of the 1 st . announces the arrival there of Cardinals Delia Genga Sermattei . Vannicelli-Casoni , and Altieri , whom his Holiness the Pope has named members of the Commission of Government . ROME . August 2 . —Rome has now de facto returned under the temporal dominion of the church General Ondinot having formally resigned the
provisional authority with which he was invented , and Cardinals Delia Genga Altieri , and Vanniclli . having established themselves in the Palazzo delta Consult a on the'Qinrinal . These roost e . minent . commissioners entered Rome on the night ofthe 31 st o < July , in ord-r not to risk an unfavourable reception from the populace by dav , having heard no doubt , that the Vicar-General , Cardinal Patrizz , had been tremendously hissed on his first appearance in public .
A proclamation was published yesterday , announcing the triumph of religion by means of the devotion nf the Catholic powers , and abusine in the severest terms the ' wretches ' who had darf d to set up a republican form of government , but mentioning neither comtimrion , concessions , amnes'y , nor , in fact , any nf the points which chiefly interest the public . Ministers (< he proclamation does not say whether secular or ecclesias'ical ) will be named b y tha commissioners for tho direction of the various branches of internal administrati-in , whilst the management of foreign affairs is exclusively reserved to the most eminent pro-secretarv ol state , Cardinal Antnnellt , who , until be arrives in Rome , will perform the duties of his office by means of a substitute .
August . 3 . —Rome is this raormng in a state of the greatest excitement and discontent on account of the arbitrary edicts issued by the triumvirate of rn -st eminent cardinals . That which is produc'ive of the most imm''diate effect on all classes of individuals is , the . reduction of the value of republican bank notes , which are henceforth to be c -nsidered as bearing only sixty-five per cent of their nominal value . This measure has been combated as much as possible , not only by the Romans themselves , of whom a most respectable , deputation watted on Gen .
Oudinot . and by the Enelish , French , and other forehm bankers and merchants , who drew np and signed a remonstrance on the subject , but also by the French commander-in-chief himself , who , I am assurpd , strongly urged the necessity of abandoning , at least for the present , the prosecution of such an impolirie and vindictive proceeding ; the more nnjus ? as it was not announced immediately on the change of government , and as government employes and contractors have been paid subsequently in republican paper , even up to the moment preceding the publication of the edict .
The decree was printed an 3 read y for cirenlat ' on yesterday , but Gen . Oudinot objected so forcibly to its emission that it was kept back , and a courier despatched to Gaeta . This morning the general himself embarked on a river steamer at Ripa Grande , whence in eig ht hours he will arrive at Gaeta , and speak with the Pope himself about the matter . His absence , however , has been the signal for the appearance of the disputed edict , and crowds of penpie are reading it and calculating their lossess , cursinff , meanwhile , the cardinal commissioners and the whole Sacred College into the bargain . The priests say that it has been a merciful thing to annex any value at all to the paper of such iniquitous ' wretches' as the republicans , and that it is infinitely more than they deserve ; but whilst t ^ ts diminution is made ? t must be observed that no
means are taken for abolishing the paper circulation and supplying it with coin ; on the contrary , a new emission of papal notes is promised to replace the republican notes . It was hoped that notes under a certain value would notb ° diminished on account of the distress it would produce amongst the poorer classes , but the unsparing band of power has chastised all alike . Another edict , also published this morning , suspends from their offices all employes who have been appointed since the Pope ' s departure , cancels all
promotions , and degrades all those who took an oath of fidelity to the republic ; reserving meanwhile a strict examination into the conduct of ah government employes still remaining , in order to decide whether they are worthy of being kept in their resppctive offices . The edict also formally re-establishes the judicial tribunals in vigour durinr ? papal jurisdiction . Imagine what a chaos l Besides the ordinary courts of law and appeal , Rome boasts of no fewer than fourteen exceptional tribunals , chiefl y ecclesiastical !

ne . n nut a little aggravated by the price of salt being augmented from one bajocco a pound to three bajojchi and four bajocchi a pound for the finer sort , i , e = ides a report that the base money now in general circula tion will be immediately reduced to halt its nominal value . These measures , which were not at all necessary , have excited the greatest detestation towards the new rulers , and are considered by the ecclesiastical party itself to have been a great error . Cardinal Bernetti , who is one of the cleverest men in the casred college , and who was certainly sufficiently despotic when in power as Secretary of State , refused to take any part in the present proceedings , and declared his intention not to come to Rome just now , in order not to witness the blunders oi his colleagues , of which he expected that the firs , * and the greatest would be the annulling of the
paper money . Cardinal Antonelli is now the allpowerful Secretary of S tate . The tone of this man ' s mind may be jud ged of from an answer he is said to have made on being informed that the prisons of Rome were so full that they could receive no more inmates , and which I am assured by those who are per . sonally acquainted with the cardinal is perfectly in keeping with his character : ' If you have no more dungeons unoccupied , ' said this churchman , ' you have surel y p lenty of graves . ' The revelation of such a spirit of course exasperates the people very much , and a priest was yesterday insulted and knocked down by some men occupied in reading the obnoxious edict , amongst whom he pushed his way to get a sight of the tariff . Some French soldiers passing down the Corso at the time tot / k no notice of the fray .
The attitude of the city was indeed so unquiet last ni ght that the French thought fit to fill all the piazzas with troops ; artillery , with teams harness'd , was placed at the Piazza del Popolo , Trinita de Monti , and Piazza di Venezia , and other important points of the city , whilst very strong patrols of cavalry and infantry were sent out , an hour before dark , to perambulate the streets in every direction . These precautions , kept up during the whole ni g ht , prevented the occurrence of any actual , tumult ; but the expression of public opinion cannot of course be crushed by military compression and this was g iven way to very freel y amongst the groups of discontented citizens . '¦' •"
The notary Gaggiotti , who took an inventory of the furni'ure of the Pontifical Palaces at Rome for the Republican government , and M . Mazzochi , appointed by General Galletti chaplain to the Carabineers , had been arrested . Prince Gabrielli , to whom the Pope had offered the Ministry of War , had refused to accept that post . Two persons , charged with the murder of Count Rossi , had been arrested at Leghorn , and given up to the Korean authorities . In the ' Concordia' of the 8 th there is a second proclamation of Mazzini , which . notwithstanding the strictest precautions , bas been affixed to the walls of Rome . It is as follows : —
' Romans and fellow-citizens , —Your brethren of Lorabardy— -a land whose sons in 1848 gave the first signal of a victorious insurrection , by abstaining from the use of Austrian ' cigars , beseech you for assistance , and entreat you to reject the produce of France . May these words , Roman citizsns , which have been echoed on other portions of the Italian soil , fall powerfully on your ears , and penetrate your souls with patriotic unanimity , that they may remain a solemn testimony that , among usurpers and the oppressed , every bond , either moral , material , or economical , is henceforward destroyed , until the common liberty should again be re-established . -
' Refuse , then , in the most determined manner , the employment of the manufactured products , be they wines or books—indeed , everything which comes from France . Let there no longer be any commercial relations with that country ; and when her wins shall rffer to ynu the various objects of their merchandise , point them to the graves of . the Republican martyrs , and say to these avaricious men , 'Your bales are blood-stained—they , besides , come from the same land whence at the same time were brought the cannon which have killed our brothers , and which have endeavoured to destroy our Republic . Corrupted by egotism and love of wealth ,
France is no longer of any importance . ' Yes , Romans , when the people of Paris shall have learned that the French fhg had . upon heaps of corpses , in ihe name of Papal Kin ? , been hoisted instead of the flag of God and the people , the security of France is ass iled . Strike these avaricious calculators in = h » ir Nearest interests . Show them that , sooner or later crime will always cover its authors with misery and infamy . Lit faith and constancy be our motto . God will hurry on the fate of those who have trampled under foot the ri ghts of humanity . For the Triumvirate , August , 1849 . 'Mazzini . '
The ' Milan Gazette . ' of the 5 tb , officially announces the . defeat of Garibaldi , near San Manny , by the Austrian troops . Eight hundred of his men « ere made prisoners and transported to Rimini . Nn tfate is mentioned . The « Piedmontese Gnzette , ' of the 6 th , states from Rimini that Garibaldi ' s troops have been disbanded on the banks of San Marino ; part of his m ° n having taken refuge in the mountains , and 720 of tbem having gone to Rimini to make their submission . Accounts from Rimini state that Garibaldi , after
having escaped from Ct-zanatico , on board some fishing boats was attacked by some Austrian ships , and forced to take refuge at Magnavacca , near Commachio where they escaped into the forests , wi t h which that part of the country abounds . Several of Garibaldi ' s fishing-boats were sunk , and great numbers of his followers perished . Garibaldi himself -as among those who escaped . Troops were immediatel y sent from Ferrara , who succeeded in taking some of Garibaldi ' s followers , and , among ot . he s , the Abbe Hueo Bassi , and a captain of the name nf L franghi . Garibaldi is still in flight .
The Concordia' contains the following intelligence from Venice : — ' On the nig ht of the 29 th tilt , the Venetians surprised a strong advanced post of the Austrians . attacked it at the point ef the bavnnet . killed fifty men , disabled thirty-seven , and seized a large quantity of provisions . About the same time , a Venetian flotilla was escorting a large supply of provisions from the Ionian Islands , when it was attacked off the Venetian Gulf by the Imperial fleet , which , after a most obstinate coiiflict , was obliged to
take refuge at Trieste . The floiilla then triumphantly entered the lagoons , to the joy of the Venetian ? , who had alread y het > un to suffer from want of provisions . At present flour , corn , wine , and fresh meat are plenti'ul The blockade by land is ( says the » Concordia' ) as good as raised , the Anstrians having considerably extended its limits , after their fruitless efforts of the 28 : h , 29 th , and 30 th ult . In their retreat they have left a large quantity of projectiles behind them . '
Letters from Rome of the 7 th state that the agi tation produced in ihe city by the first acts of the pontifical commission was very great and was spreading to the provinces . The decree diminishing the value of the paper money was so unpopular that it was thought that , if not recalled , it would produce disturbances . The French diplomatists have completely failed in obtaining terms from his Holiness-, and the cardinals who surround him show a decided determination to carry their victory to its utmost limits .
Accounts have been received from Bologna of the 8 th of August , which state that the Austrians have shot the priest Bassi , one of Garibaldi ' s followers , who was taken on the previous day . They bave also shot M . Levrag hi , one of Garibaldi ' s "fficers . who was taken at the same time with the Ahhe Bassi . The priest Bassi was a native of Bologna , and one of the . most eloquent preachers of Italy . He was shot on the pretence that he had been taken with arms in his hands . M . Levrag bi was a native of Milan , and bad been in the Austrian army . He was therefore shot as a deserter . The executions took p lace on the morning of the 8 th inst .
Garibaldi has not yet been taken . It is said that he has succeeded in again embarking , and that he has escaped to Cbiogga , and from that place to Venice .
SIGNATURE OF . THE TREATY OF PEACE BE FWEEN PIEDMONT AND AUSTRIA . SARDINIA . —The treaty of peace between Austria and Piedmont was signed on the 6 th inst , at Milan . A partial amnesty was proclaimed at Milan on the 5 th . This intelligence was received by a special courier from Turin , who reached Paris on the 9 th inst .

withdrawn from the socialist press , on which it has rested since June , the journals of tbat party will probably reappear , or at least so many of their as can afford the caution-money and the necessary calmness requisite to keep free from the nippers of the press law . M . Sauteyra was unsuccessful in an attempt to include the sixth military division , of which Lyons is the centre , in the law raising the state of siege of the first . M . Dufaure showed that there mig ht be danger in such an extension , on in . .
account of the great audacity shown at Lyons June , where certainly the ultra democrats and socialists acted a much more decided and serious part than they did in Paris . The most important part of the sitting , however , was the presentation , by M . Passy , of two projects of law by which it is intended to fill up the gap in French finance . These laws are an income tax of one per cent ., and a tax on the conveyance of property , funded or otherwise , and whether by g ift or purchase .
A SCENE IK THE CHAMBER . # The disgraceful scene that occurred in the Legislative Assembly yesterday is the topic of comment and deserved reprobation from evury portion of the press this morning . It ia universally agreed that the act of M . Pierre Buonaparte is aggravated by the fact that M . Gastier , the member whom be treated so shamefully , is an old man of 72 , whose grey hairs should have saved him from aggression , even though he had made use of the term ' imbecile , ' which he
denies having applied to M . Pierre Buonaparte . Nor is the conduct of M . Dupin free from blame in this matter , and free comments are made on his causing the aggrieved party , as well as the aggressor , to be p laced separately in places of confinement , a measure very unlike justice in the case of M . Gastier-The prime cause that gave rise to the affair , was the reading by M . Dariste of the article published by M . Sommier , on which was founded the demand to prosecute . This artijle was as follows : —
• Restoration of the Powtical Scaffold . — They have raised up the guillotine again , which had been thrown down with royalty by the people in February—the prelude to the restoration of the throne by the restoration of the scaffold . They lean upon eacl / other and walk together like twin brothers . The executioner was ever the friend of the K ng , his best and most useful servant . When the red frock of the executioner was seen , people knew that the King could not be far off . The people knew Ibis when he abolished the scaffold after abolishing the throne . It knew well that it was striking the second head of the royal hydra ; and that it was tearing up the foundation of royalty . They have rebuilt this
foundation , solemnly and publiclj in the midst of twenty thousand soldiers , escorts of honour , gardes du corps ofthe executioner , convoked to protect the august ceremony , the laying of the first stone of the monarchic edifice . Two beads have fallen under the bloody knife , which had been deprived of its royal functions by the republicans of February—two guilty heads , indeed , but which were protected- against death by the will of the sovereign people and the law of the constitution . Yes , the moderates , that debonnair and kind party , which calls usred , has trodden under foot the work of the people and the constitution , in order to give itself the royal pleasure of causing two beads to fall upon the scaffold . They have
remained faithful to the good and healthy traditions ofthe monarchy . May that blood never flow back upon them . May that horrible precedent never rise against them , And yet , how can they justify that " cold" cruelty , giving the lie to a great and holy revolution , in order to return to the executioner his knife and his prey ?• What social necessity can excuse this scandal of mnrderand blood , this homicide coldly accomplished and long premeditated in the silence of the passions and in the security of strength . Ever pitiless , these moderate guillotiners , whose revenge is accomplished by turns with the hatchet or the dagger , prevotal courts or courts martial ; these moderates who , deaf to the groans of the poor and
the oppressed , have never shed a tear except on the m ' sfortunes of the high , who danced on the warm bodies of those whom they had massacred , dare by changing parts and by leaving to history and to their consciences , to brand us , to defame us , republicans , as drinkers of blood ' . We , who curse these abominable holocausts—these atrocious sacrifices , consummated in broad daylight , in the name of the law and of society ; we , who deny that society has a right to dispose ofthe life of a man , seeing that it does not give tbat life , and that it would thereby take that which belongs not to it . We , who bave always and everywhere demanded the abolition of the punishment of death —are we to be called drinkers of blood ?
But the purveyors of the guillotine are moderates . More than ever we congratulate ourselves on having nothing in common with these sinister and sanguinary moderates . Let them go and mount guard round the scaffold , the red Republicans are again ready to overthrow it . But what did the President of the Republic , that conspirator , that amnestied convict ; what did he when the heads of Lahr and Daix rolled on the scaffold ? The president lay reposing in slumber after the fatigues of the ball of the eve , in order to prepare for those of the ball of the morrow . He was dreaming of the 600 , 0001 " . which the National Assembly has Just granted him for his menus plaisirs . '
This production was dated Sdlins , the 24 th of March , and signed A . Sommier . Several patts of it were applauded by some of the members of the Left . It was immediatel y on the conclusion of the last paragraph relating to the president , that the scene already mentioned occurred . Many versions are given of the affair ; suffice it to say that all at once a tumult was heard on the left , just behind the ministerial benches , and then a most violent scene might be witnessed . The members all hurried round an elderly representative , who appeared in the utmost ag itation , and on whom his friends were lavishing aid and consolation ; other members rushed from the right . The ushers ran up to stop the tumult , but the crowd had in a moment become so compact , that they were unable to effect their object . A number of members were then seen
all struggling together—several of the left dashed over the seats to reach the scene of confusion—a large stick was handed down , but was seized by a member on its passage , and flung away—the whole assembly washy this time on foot—the confusion was of the most painful description—and the President put on his hat to intimate ahat the sitting was suspended . The struggle however went on , without any one at first seeming to know what it was all about , when , at the end of nearly ten minutes , the ushers and some of his friends succeeding in leading M . Pierre Buonaparte out of the chamber , the mem . bers of the dense crowd gradually unclosed their hold , and with disarranged dress , heated faces , and exasperated looks , withdrew to their places . The word imbecile had been used , and M . Pierre Buonaparte had given a box on the ear to M . Gastier .
The President , acting on one of the articles of the regulations , ordered M . Pierre Buonaparte at once into custody ; but , with a partiality which created great surprise , he ordered M . Gastier to be also arrested—the insulted as well as the insulter . This untoward incident terminated the discussion on the report above mentioned , and the authorisation was accorded by a large majority . After the close of the sitting , M . Dupin seems to have thought better of the manner in which he ought to have acted , for he ordered the release of M . Gastier from confinement , whilst M . Pierre remained in durance vile . He was let out also on Saturday . It seems that the council of state , to which was referred the matter of M . Lesseps , bas passed a vote of blame against that functionary .
Paris , SUNDA-Y . ^ The Assembly was prorogued yesterday , de faalo , nithout any ceremony . The honours of the last moments of the sitting were divided between M . Lagrange , who urged the injustice of keeping political prisoners on the pontoons , and M . Sameyra , whose interpellations on the state of siege were not listened to . A letter from Verdun states that 360 privates of the 4 th Hussars have been dismounted , and have been ordered to march on foot to Toulon , to he emharked for Algeria . This measure is supposed to have been adopted in consequence of these men having manifested extreme democratic opinions . A h'tter from Strasburg stales that a major of Artillery , in garrison in that town , had been arrested and committed to the civil prhon .
A Socialist , named Jeroy , was sentenced by the Court of Assize of Paris on Saturday last . to imprisonment for six months , for having sold a political song called * The Bah and the Guillotine / : The penalty of death pronounced against Captain Kleber was commuted into that of ten years' imprisonment and degradation . Lieutenant and Mrs . Heald ( Lola Montez ) have arrived in Paris , The Journal des Debals' states that the indemnity of 75 , 000 , 000 due by Peidmont to Austria , has already been paid by the house of Rothschild , on account of the former Power .

le President , ' were almost drowned in the cries of ' Vive la Republique , ' « Vive la Constitution . ' The great event of the day , however , was the speech of the Mayor of Havre , which has g iven enormous offence io the frhnds of Louis Napoleon , and which is considered as a direct attack upon the imperial pretensions attributed to the President . M . Berlin said : —* You have guaranteed to »> s that insurreetions have no chance of success . We hope so . You will not suffer eivher that any political party should Z 7 . . . - - . , j _ ... J : _ « i .. ... r „ .,
attempt an impossible dynastic insurrection . Be the first regular founder of the French Republic , Let the love of France be your crown , and your glory will be immortal . Washington had no other , and his memory will be eternal . Long live the President of the Republic 1 ' The President was so angry that ( the ' Debats' says , ) instead of the speech which he had prepared for the occasion , he onl y said a few extempore words in proposing prosperity to the town of Havre .
M . Lizabe , one of the agents of the ex-Triumvir Maczuri , was arrested on Monday morning in Paris , at the residence of a lad y who had concealed him . The * Reforrae' was seized in Paris on Monday . RE-APPEARANCE OF THE ' REFORMS . ' On Monday last the ' Reforme' re-appeared , we extract the following from its hading article : — 'On the 13 th of June the 'Reforme' fell , under the violence of the state of siege ; its offices were searched , seals were placed on its doors , its establishment was militarily occupied . aud for two months it has remained gagged . We will not complain today of the savage manoeuvres , accomplished in the middle of the nig ht , after two successive
seizures , which ought to have sufficed to the government as they secured its vengeance . Events have since proved to us the object and bearing of these violent expeditions ; it was desired to turn to account ( he jouwiee of M . Changafnier , b y crushing all the public liberties , and consequently it was ne . sary to silence all the free voices , and the journals of the revolution . We know that the royalist journals , which alone were able to speak during the intermede of the police , have exhausted all calumnies to cause to wei gh on us , in the opinion and before the justice of the country , the double responsibility of a long organised plot and of a flagrant revolt . Faithful to their custom of provocation and
falsehood , and not having to dread the contradiction of the proscribed , they have constiucted a system of infamous accusations and burlesque calumnies , hoping thus to poison the public mind , and excite its wrath against us . But whatever may be the irapudence and cunning of these men . and although preventive justice has collected all their calumnies to form grounds for an accusation , whilst the government itself has publicly sanctioned all the monstrous accusations , produced by vengeance and fear , the hour of discussion has at length arrived , and truth makes itself seen . What were the causes and what the veritable signification of the act g accom . plishedbytbe republicans in the journee of the
13 th ? The constitution was violated in one of its essential articles b y the expedition to Rome ; the resolutions of the Constituent were brutally disregarded ; the government of the republic betrayed both the fundamental law and its engagements . Well ! in this fearful crisis what did the press of the revolution ? It called public opinion to the succour of the institutions ; it engaged all devoted citizens to make a pacific but powerful protest against the imp ious war which dishonoured France by the . assassination of a people ; and the citizens of Paris assembled in a phalaux , but without arms , at that demonstration . It was then that with all the fury
of his hatred and resentment the General Cspta ' n Changarnier intervened . This man of war had one hundred thousand soldiers under his hand , all bia measures of defence were taken , all his forcps distributed , all his strategic points guarded and connected . There was therefore no reason to fear a 15 th May , or a . baule of June , or an armed attack of any kind in tho capital surrounded with bayonets , and as full of military posts as an enemy ' s town ; but the policy of the government and the g lory o ' the great captain require that there should be a victory . Accordingly M . Changarnier threw himself on the crowd without arms , which protested pacifically , in the name of national honour and violated con .
tracts . The column was dispersed by chargers I' africaine , and the rumour of these acts of violence havingspread like flame favoured by the wind , some deputies , who were menaced by them , proceeded to the Arts et Metiers , accompanied by a feeble escort , to seek shelter against such savage fury . The judicial investigation will soon do justice on all the fables invented opres coup , with respect to this grand attentat , as it is now called in police language . We are without fear in this respest , and p > blic op inion will see by the facts on what party its disdain and resentment should fall . Such are the principal facts and causes of the journee of June ;
ana u our reader swill examine the results and the Consequences , they will understand why the << ovt foment has displayed so much passion to falsif y , aggravated and transform them into state crimes . ' Has it not behind this victory , and by means of the state of aiege , suppressed the clubs , suspended the right of meeting , enchained the press , decimated the Assembl y , proscribed the chiefs of a party , and within eighteen months after February founded a dictatorship , which , by court-martial , renders it enemies subject to the executioner ? Was it not under the shade of these easil y gained laurels that
it was able to bring to a favourable conclusion the attempted assassination of the Roman republic to succeed in the last elections of Paris , and to group at the feet of ' the presidency a majority which , at its desire , attacks all the public liberties ? In this rapid expose we have only noticed the principal points of the accusation ; for the details we await the marvels of the judicial investi gation ; but as to the p rincipal facts , we affirm that the plot of 13 tb June is wholly in the pacific demonstration , and that no other attentat was committted than the charges of M . Changarnier .
The Droit * states that the responsible editor of the' Reforme , ' which was seized yesterday , is to be prosecuted for its article on the affair of the 13 th of June , for having rendered himself guilty of the double oflvnee of exciting hatred and contempt for the government of the republic , and justif ying acts which are designated as crimes b y the penal law . The first number of the * Bibliotheque des Enfans du Peuple' has been seized , nnder a charge of provocation given to the land and sea forces for the purpose of turning them away from the obedience which they owe to their chief .
M . Roubillard . the editor of the ' Revolution Democratique et Sociale , was sentenced by default by the Assize Court of Paris . onMondav , to imprisonment for three years , and to pay a fine of £ 6000 for having on the 10 th of May published a libel on ' the President of the republic . Two Socialist papers , « Eclair , ' of Pan , and the ' Repubhcain du Card , ' have been acquitted by a jury of a charge of sedition instituted against them by the Attorney-General .
GERMANY . MORE PATRIOTS MURDERED BY THE ROYAL TSRROrUSTS . The 'Karlsruhe Zeitung' of the 7 th announces the condemnation b y » court-martial and the execution of some of the leaders of the Baden insurrection . The murdered ( patriots are - Corvin Wierbitzki , Major Biedenfeld , a Baden officer on half-pay ; and Elsenbaus , a Radical writer and editor of the 1 Rasiadt Siege Gazette .

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . HAMBURG , August 11 . —I have just received notice of serious disturbances which broke out in the town of Ffensburg on the 9 th inst ., and which are the more remarkable as this has been hitherto the only , town in which some svmpathy with Den . mark was evinced , and which was under this pretext left on the north of the line of demarcation On the 9 th a Danish war-steamer arrived at Flen & hura bringing several Danish officers who were to enter
into negotiations with General Prittwhz . As soon as they landed an tx-employe of Denmark hoisted the Danish flag , and as soon as this was observed by the people , great crowds began to assemble , hey broke into the house , and before the authorities could interfere they destroyed everything in it . The Danish officers appeared on the atveeU in the after , noon , and one of them appears to have been so incautious as to irritate the people by soma insuuhw expressions .

lace attacked the ( fficers , broke their swords , and otherwise maltreated them . One of tnevo . appears to have been severely wounded in the affray . At a somewhat later hour more Danish officers arrived from the north , also commissioned to make arrangements with General Prittwitz . They had taken the precaution not to appear in their aniforms . Nevertheless , the excited populace assailed the house in which they were , and subjected them to serious injuries . It was late in the evening before the authorities could restore order . . .. t' j .. a > . ' ... ' . - ' . «
UNITED STATES . New York , July 31 . —The cholera continues its ravages amongst us , and is apparently on the increase in this city . On Monday the cases were 189 , the deaths 81 . The greatest anxiety prevails with regard to it . As yet few people of note have fallen victims , these being generally of the class of emigrants , and Irish in particular . The poor miserables fly from famine and death in their own countries only to find graves here . The political world is quiet at present . It is supposed Mr , Benton intends , if possible , to be the anti . slavery candidate for the presidency , irrespective of parties .
From Cuba we learn that the cholera had broken out at San Jago , and the yellow fever was raging terribly at Havana . Apropos to this , I have to state that our government is likely to have some difficulty with the Captain . General . A few weeks ago , a refugee from Havana arrived at New Orleans . His offance consisted in having liberated from prison two political offenders . This person , it has been satisfactorily ascertained , was made drunk , or was drugged through the means of the Spanish consul , put on board a schooner ( an American , I am sorry to say , ) and carried back to Havana , where he will be put to death . The circumstantial evidence against the consul is strong : he has been arrested , held to bail , and will be tried for kidnapping . The peop le of New Orleans are in a state of tury at the
occurrence , and do not hesitate to ascribe to the same influence the death of another exile in that city who was obnoxious to the Spanish captain-general . Loud demands for reparation are made , the immediate action of the American government is invoked , and a rquadron is called for , to proceed to Cuba , to demand the liberation of the unfortunate captive . I have no doubt something will be done . Popular sentiment requires it , and though the policy of Gen . Tay lor is that of non-intervention , Jt may suit the temper of the times to make an hostile demonstration on the island . The capture of the Moro castle under any plea , would be the signal for an island insurrection , and after that there is no knowing what might happen ! All the Havanese who come to the United States are in favour of throwing off the oppresive yoke of Spain .
