      Proclamation Of The French Constitution....

      PROCLAMATION OF THE FRENCH CONSTITUTION . The inauguration of tie new Constitution was celebrated by * grand fete in the Place do la Concorde , ea Sunday last . Tho weather waa extremely unfavourable , a heavy fall of snow having ushered ia the g lorious day . Nevertheless early in the morning : the yoppel waa beaten in every qusrter of Paris , and reg iments of troops of the line , Gardes Nationals and jlobile were seen marching to the different stations ajugned to them ia the Place de la Concorde and the Cham ps Elysees . The preparations made for the ceremony were extensive . An elegant tent , composed of OTmson velvet and gold , was . ' erected before the gate of the Tuileries gardens , known as the Pont Tournant , under which had been built a temporary a ltar , on which the Archbishop of Paris wag to

      celebrate mass . Oa both sides of this ehopeUe i mprovises were enfradew , reaching : nearly the wnole length of the railing of the Toileries , with rows of benches appropriated to the reception of tha Alterably and Executive Power , aud those individuals who were attached to or invited by the great men who were te figure in the ceremony . Supplementary beeches were alto put up within the gardens , access to which eould-onh ba had by procuring tickets frota the Prefect of Police , who , as usual , was grand master of the ceremonies for the day . The Place itself waa fined on all sides with ; regular ; troops . Poles had been erected all round , from the tops of which streamed scores of tricoloured orifJammes , whilst on the pedestals were placed escutcheons bearing the names of different departments of France , surmounted with tricoloured fligs , grouped tastefully around , the whole connected by garlands of artificial

      flowera and evervreens . Had the weather been more propitious the effect certainly would have been brilliant . As it was , a cold grey sky and heavy anow marred , aot only tbe appearance of the thing , but dansped to a certain extent the spirits of the people . It was curious to hear the different comments made on tbe proceedings of the day . Some complained of the expenditure , and with bitter smiles recounted tha history of their personal miseries , contrasting ths grandeur of ihe preparations with the reality of the nrtional position . Others , again , were employed in specnlat n < on the probable duration of the new State of things , and jokingly referring to the many ceremonies of the kind they had witnessed in their day . All were looking vainly for a break in the dona s , and not a few auguring b « dl _ r of the at / our of the Constitution , ushered in as it wag by such di « mal weather . At length tbe cannon of the Invalidea

      announced to the frozen spectators that the National Assembly bad left is palace , and was proceeding across the bridge to the place appointed for its reception . Accordingly , the members made their appearance in procession , preceded by the Chief of the Executive Power , his Ministers and staff , aud slowly wended their way to the tented seats prepared for uictn * Ail the members of the Chamber wore tricoloured scarves and ribbons in their button holes . Amongst them was a negro deputy fwm Martinique . When these gentlemen were all seated , a movement was observed at the entrance of the Rue Nationa ' e ( et devant Royale ) . This was caused by the procession of the clergy from the Madeleine , to tbe number of at

      least five hundred ( all black robes included ) , the rear being brought np by the Archbishop of Paris in full canonicals , accompanied by five or six bishops , aleo in full rystume , with mitre on head and crosier ia hand . This procession excited rather a critical feeling among the working men , who gave way to all kind of good-natured raillery against the poor cures , criticising their costume , their actions , their numbers , Hue of march , and everything . There was abundant evidence that the people cartd little or nothing for the religious portion of tbe programme , nor for those who were to perform in it . The procenion approached tbe chapel chanting psalms , and waa received by the Minister * , and presented to the President c * the Council , who proceeded to read the Constitution to

      the assembled thousands ; the troops presented arms , drums rolling , artillery thusdering , and people sbo itlug 'Vive la Republique , ' * Vive la Constitution . ' This put of the ceremony performed , the Archbivhop proceeded to say mass , in which he was assisted by MasuffVagaca , and s brilliant corps of clergy attired in all tbe pomp which the Roman Catholic church is accustomed to display on all solemn occasions . At ths elevation of the tr- st all the troops aiaia presented arms , the drums rolled , and the cannon resounded once mow . The religious procession sow resumed its march back to the Madeleice , and the legions of the National Gaard of Paris and of tbe departments bsgan to defile before the members of the Assembly

      and the Chief of the Executive Power . General Cavaignac , and M . Marrast , President of the National Assembly , descended from their tribune , and taking their station at the foot of the steps leading np to the chapel , received the salutations of the legiongaetheymaresed by . with colours flying , drums beating , and bands playing the « Marseillaise , ' the * Chant des Gircndins , ' and other national and spiritstirring strain ? . The people joined tbe line of march in true Paris style , shouting' Vive la Republique , ' with e sincerity and deterraicstion which was hi ghly escitln-. The National Gaard under the command of Citizen Gaicard , maintained their character by shouting ' Vive la Republique Democratiqae et fcciale . '

      The correspondent of the i rats , in the course of his aceennt of the fete , say a , * Another ( the 6 : h ) legion of Parisian National Guards is now passing more numerous ttan the otherslh & ve mentioned . Iihonla not , perhaps , have stopped to look at them were not my attention attracted by loud cheering . This I fonnd to proceed from a very large body of men en blouse * of the real Republican type , whoaceompasied them . The ream for this display of popularity ia . I was informed , that at least 5 , 000 men of this ( the 6 : b )

      Legion were disarmed after tbe insurrection of June , snd that last week 1 , 500 mu-kets were again distributed to them to the great displeasure of persons who saw danger in that proceeding . It was replied , however , that after a severe investigation it was deemed safe and expedient to restore their arms to that number of those who had been deprived of tbun . The bs'ief that that Legion still continues to profess ultra-Republican feelings is , I am told , the reason why they are now cheered by the men en blouse who accompany them . '

      THE PREBIOTKCY . Marshal Bugeand haa formally renounced the candidateship . General Cavaignao ' s manifesto appeared in the pacers of Saturday . The following address has eleo been issued in favour of M . Ledru Roliin , signed by several of the leaders of the party : — Cittern .- —We deelred unity of power , and we still desire it . We have voted eg & inst tbe principle of tbe presidency , bnt since the vote of the majority has ca-ried It , eince the coastttnfoa admits a pr * silent , we mast sot now be inactive , we mast concert ceamres for the election of a man who shall represent onr principles , and secure their trinmpn . We nave only oss observation to nuke on the iasporttnee ef the ehVee which the

      electors ere . called on to make—on that choice depends the republic ! Tte e & mdidates who seriously effer themselves to yonr scffregss are known to yoa , yon know how much they are worth : one hat for his claims a sain ? , a dynastic remioi-ctnee , the other pledges given to reaction . Without wishing here to disenrs tbe merits of all , we won'd first obferve that at the head of tbe republic matt be pieced a republican , for the repablic mast be preserved * developed , snd completed , far it mast live elose , and must contain those democratic and social institutions , without wMch it wonld be no more than a shadow and a name . TJnd = r these circametancti , the cit iea ledru Bdlin is he who merits all oar confidence .

      and Kko can moreover amalgamate the divers shades of democracy . We need cot recall to tbe esteem of patriots the claims of that man who , tbe first with th ? people , proclaimed the Bspubllc , end who organised Universal Suffrage , If tbe cirirgn Ledru Roliin could not hitherto either in the Provisional Government , or the Eterutiva Commission , apply all onr principle * - , and realise alt car ideas , it is that he wss paralyse * by a mtjr . rity dtvoted to contrary ideas aad principles . You know onr opinions by onr votes in tbe Amemoiy , and by onr declare , tion to tbe p ;« ple . If yon adopt this programme , vote for the man who has signed it , and ell whose efforts will tend to realise It .

      This manift < 3 to waa publicly wad to day at th & Place Manbert , amidst the most clamorous applaose of the working men . The permanent committee of the departmental moderate press , elected by the Congress of Tours , having met in Paris , has determined that it will recommend to the members << f Congress and ita friends of the departmental press the candidateship of Prince Liuis Napoleon . M . de Larochejaquelin has addressed & letter to tie legitimist electors , exhorting them not to abstain from rosing , snd not to throw away their suffrages on the Count de Ciumbord . Although Prince Ltuis is not mentioned by name in this letter , its intention and ef £ ct are to constitute him tha legitimist candidate .

      Proclamation Of The French Constitution....

      On Monday at the church of St Mary a funeral service was performed for the Vienna victims , which was attended by the democratic , Germans , Hungarians , Poles , and Italians at present in . Paris . A numerous body paraded the Faubourg St Martin on Monday evening , wearing imaiorte't » ( funeral dowers ) in memory of the insurgents of Vienna , or as a protest against tUeConstitution . There was a considerable public excitement last Monday in Paris . Yery animated snd noisy groups collected on the Boulevards and in tha garden of the Palais Royal , where they were addressed by orators . The Freuch funds fell considerably , and closed with apparently unfavourable anticipations on the part of the speculators . Various causes conspired to lead to this reiult .

      THE RED REPUBLIC . Puns , Thursdat . —A manifesto appears to day in La Refobme , La Kef-oblique , and the other organs , of the Montague , which is signed by fifty-six memben of the Afsembly of that body , including M . Ledru Kollin . This manifesto , whioh is entitled . * Declaration aupeupte , ' ia a sort of declaration of principles , intended , no doaU , as a sketch of what the party would have desired the Constitution to be . It is divided into several sections , under the titles : General PrincipkB , ' 'Education , ' 'Taxation , '' Credit , ' and ' Association . ' The subscribers say that they adopt with pride the name of the Mountain :

      H : lr « of the Mountain , we glory In that same . ' to which w « C ' . uld no : aspire , and which onr adversaries lure bestowed en us as a reproach . We adopt it modi 6 ed by tbe aided means that time and science have acquired to it ; we adopt the political aad social principles of onr predecessor * , thtir profound love for justice , and the people , their virtuous hate against privileges and aristocrvjfcs , the courage of their devotion and their faith In tbe fntnre . Oar principles , oar votes , and onr actions . , shall prove whether ws or oar entmles have most at heart the sentiments of jatftae and humanity , whether on them or on ns has devolved the heritage of bloody tradition ; we who , In the ardour of our democracy , have wiled the abolition of the scaffold , or they who , in the oalm of their moderation , would and have maintained it . This manifesto concludes with the following sum mary of tha requisitions of the people :

      Unity of power—dlittncUen of functions—liberty of thought—liberty of meeting and association—grata ! - tons education—the revision of the laws as to military service—tbe immediate abolition of the taxes of primary necessity , such as salt , wines , & c—tbe reform of the income . 'ax , octroi and patents—the establishment of a proportional and progressive tax on net income—therepurchase by the state of railways , canals , mines , < toa-Jmluif trative , judicial , and penal reforms , gratuitous justice , that is , the simplifying fornu and reducing the costs—the * droit an travaU '—credit—association . In fine , peaceably and progressively all the consequences of the three great principles ef the revolution—Liberty , Equality , and Fraternity—that Is , the government of all , by alL and fer all .

      _ It appears that the Republicans of Orleans , feeling indignant that tbe Joprsjl dh Loiret , the Republican organ of that city , should have advocated the candidature of Prince Losis N *? 0 le 0 U for tbe Presidency of the Republic , have withdrawn their support from that paper , and have established the Isdepssdehz no LoiRBi on true Republican principles . A socialist and democratic banquet took place a few days ago at Lapalisse , department of tbe Allier . A toast was given to 'the Republic of the prolttaire —to the Red Republic ? ' After the feast the guests oromenadedthe streets with drums and flags , roaring revolutionary songs , and shouting 'Longlive Barbea

      and Ledru Roliin ! Dawn with Cavaignac ! ' The first deputy mayor and tome of the members of tbe Municipal Council of Gusset were present at the banquet . Another democratic banq uet'haa taken place at the Barriere du Maine , at one franc & head , at which nine representatives , members of the Mountain , attended . On entering they were received with cries of'Vive la Montague ! ' M . Louis Blanowaa declared honorary preiident oh the occasion , and was represented by an empty chair . The vice-president . M . Vincard , acted , AU tbe usual toasts were given . with which the public are already familiar , and in which the name of the Mountain was effectively repeated .

      TUB BVPOBMCA * PRISONERS . On Saturday M . Dsville presenter ! a petition signed by 2 . 000 pupils of Paris , praying for an amnesty in favour of the Insurgents of May and June . It was referred to the committee oa petitions .

      [ GERMANY . STATE OF VIENNA . TheBassLAu Gazette of the 4 th states that the leader of the Academfc Legion had been arrested , together with an aide-de-camp of GeneralMesienhauser . General Cordon had been appointed Governor of the city . The same paper has the following accounts , dated Vienna , tbe 2 ad inst .: — 'General Bern and the Commandant of the city , M . Messenhauser , have hitherto escaped arrest . Of the immense number of prisoners some thousands will within a short time * ake part as soldiers in tbe campaign against the Hungarians . This will probably be tha lot of all I he members of the Academical Legion who have taken a prominent part in tbe rebellion . The cemmnnication with the suburbs is very much hindered , only provisions are allowed to pass without any difficulty . '

      KKIGX OF TXHHOH . Visnma , Nov . S .- ^ The spirits of the Viennese , of all parties , are quite cast down . Tne soldiers occupy all the streets and public places . The Croats have pillaged the faubourgs . It ia nob true , aa asserted , that the people set lira to the Imperial Castle ( Burg ) , and Windischgratz was wrong in saying so iu his dispatch . It was merely a pretext to make arrests . Lists of proscription are being circulated , in which appear some Radical journalists and officers nf the Academic Leeton . Several , it is said , are already arrested , and others have Mled themselves in despair . The system of espionage is extensively carried on . No one can leave the town , the deputies even being refused passports . Yesterday Jellachioh made a triumphant procession through the city . , at the head of his' Red Mantles . ' The appearance of these soldiers in their chequered uniform caused a very disagreeable

      impression . Nothing certain is yet known as to the number of killed on the side of the Viennese . It is eaid to amount to as many as 1 , 500 . The army has also lost a great number of soldier ? , and many officers , but it is forbidden to the officers to disclose the amoun t . The Crmman Council issued a proclamation on the 4 tb , notifying the fact that 'Windischgratz had made the restoration of the free intercourse between the city snd the suburbs dependent on the apprehensioa of the following five proscribed individnals , Pct'ky . Bern , Messenhauser , Fenneberg . and Sc' ii te- The council accordingly enjoins those who may be harbouring those persons to deliver them up within six hours , under psiu of being brought before acourtmaitiat .

      A correspondent of the Kotsifcns Zmvsa , in a letter dated Vienna , the 4-. h instant , gives a very gloomy account of the present state of the city . According to his statement , a very sombre despair , baffling d'scription , pervaded the minds of tha inhabitants of Vienna . A great many atrocities had been committed by the Croats , and a good deal of plundering had taken place . The number of houses burnt down in the Leopoldstadt alone , during the siege , was fifty-nine . Accsrding to a letter in the Kolnische Zbittjkg of the 6 ih , arrests were continually going on . It was reported as an undoubted fact , that a great number

      of students had been incorporated with the military , and even in the very lowest ranks . Professor Fuller , one of the members of tbe Austrian Diet , a favourite of the aabntbs and the idol of the Academical Leg ' on , was said to have been arrested . The dead list in ths general hospital gives the number of killed on the part of the Viennese a * 413 . The troops had suffered much more , even according to the testimony of their officers , and it was believed that their loss amoonted to several thousand killed . The number of wounded was also very great . The army concentrated round Vienna was estimated , according to recent reports , which are given as good authority , at 106 000 men .

      The Spssbrschs Ztrrwso states , under date of Vienna , the l < h inst .: — 'To-day , early in the morning , the deputies of the Frankfort Left . Robert Blam and Frebel . who continued to preach insurrection as late as the day eefore yesterday , were arrested in the London Hotel , and taken to tbe headquarters at Scboabruon . The Chief of the Aula , Professor Faster , who at the dissolution of tbe Aula exclaimed that the return of the dynasty to Vienna oughc never to be allowed . General Bern , tbe Chiefs of the National Guard , Messenhauser and Fenneberg , were also arrested . The commander of the Academical Legion , M . Aigner ( an artist ) committed suicide by shooting himself . The same was reported of several other individuals who were deeply implicated in the late insurrection . ' According to a statement in the Gazeta Kbakowska , General Bern had effected hisescspe toHungar / s BLOODI ATROCITIES .

      The Truss own correspondent—a wretch who glories in the destruction of the friends of liberty , gives the following account of a few of the murders committed by the cottater . revolutioniata : — . As for the punishment of the offenders , I can give you merely the accounts I hear from officers that have returned from the city . It appears that a great many students and workmen have been discovered m their hiding places , and confined in large buildings , where they are strictly guarded , and where the incensed soldiers treat them with great brutality . Last night an attempt was made by forty students to escape by means of a rope , which they lowered from the city wall : tbey were discovered and arrested . The prisoners are escorted through the streets by strong detachments ot soldiers : they are pinioned , and have ropes slung round their necks . The majority of the offenders are destined to be enlisted in the regiments of the line , bnt the leaders are tried

      Proclamation Of The French Constitution....

      by court-martial and carried off to immediate <**<» : tion . Sixteen of them were shot on Thursday , and eleven yesterday . The sousga op Exscotwss er this sat ( Saturday ) is quoted at Sixir . Some of the leading professors , too , have shared the same fate , and one of the fiercest agitators , one Dr Sobutte , has committed suicide . There were alio certain Radical members of the Austrian Diet whose guilt is as clearly manifest as that of any , but they are under the protection of privilege , and cannot , therefore , be summarily disposed of . Measures have , however , been taken to bring them to their trial . ' Letters iron Vienna of the 8 th instant giro a fearful account of the ravages and brutality of the soldiery , especially the Croatswho have indulged in

      , , general pillage , and slew numbers of women and children that opposed them or were in their way . Windischgratz is busy ransacking the oity for victims , and sending them to be shot , if they are at all known as connected with the insurrection . He is making a general press of the working class to fill the ranks of the army , and as he hopes to employ the army next time against Sclavonian malconteats , ha will thus sfford the Viennese the indulgence of revenge . For students there is no mercy . And as these are aot Viennese , but the sons of the batter families of all the towns of the German provinces , each of these families gives a victim to Windisoagralz ; and it may be supposed what loyalty to the Emperor is created by such massacres .

      EFFECTS OF THE LATE BOMBARDMENT . A correspondent of the Daily . News , writing on the 8 th , says : — 'This day I have visited the principal scenes of the conflict . Turning down the noble Prater Straaaa ( in the Leopoldstadt ) I fonnd that every bouse . presented ths same marks with the dwellings , in the Tabor Strasse . Even the Turkish embassy had not escaped , the windows in the upper story being destroyed , and the lower part of the mansion bearing marks here and there of ball cartridge . The Carls Theatre was enly slightly injured . Some eight or ten barricades were erected ia the above street . As I proceeded further down , the houses on each side were more seriously iojnred , many having that

      fronts completely shattered , or their toofa completely destroyed . But it is towards the end'of the street , on the' Prater' side , that the greatest'deatf uction of property occurred . At that point several noble house *—which must have been tenanted by wealthy individuals—are gutted throughout , only the bare walls having been left standing . Right and left of that end of the Prater houses , and all up the JTagerzeil ( a broad street to the right of Prater Strasse ) some seven or eight houses have shared ths same fate , being burnt almost to the ground . Towards the bridge end of the Jageuail . and opposite three houses which were consumed by fire , stand the bare walls of the immense sugar factory of Zinder and Co- ; and to the left of the Jagetzail ( on the

      socalled Schuttel , opposite a branch ot the Danube ) , the still smoking ruins of another large sugar factory ( that of Mack a- ; d Co ) . Both were set fire to by tha Croatian troops , who also destroyed by fire the wellknown ' tea-gardens , ' the ' Bathhouse , ' and four splendid newly- built houses . Tbe losa of property in this quarter muet ba frightful . Iu the Bathhouse the Craatiaus ( who are called' the red cloaks ') killed the landlord , and landlady , and two or three other persons . Passing over the Fraozensbruck ( suspension bridge ) , which is uninjured ( bat which was barricaded at both ends ) . I came opposite the' Gjod Shepherd'Ian , where Windischgratz passed a night during the contest . Its roof had received eo much damage it is found necessary to remove italtogether .

      A portion of tke budding was also set on fire . It should have been stated that the large steam mills below the sugar factory of Mack and Co . stand uninjured ; the report that they also had been destroyed being incorrect . Several honors in the Hauptstrasse , in which the' Good Shepherd' is situated , are muoh injured by shots , and iu one large establishment ( a slaughter-house ) , both artillery and fire have committed sad havoc . The commercial depot to the left of the Hauptstrasse is uninjured . We now enter the city proper through the * Red Toner' gate , behind which a barricade was erected . The ramparts near that ^ gate are defaced in many parts , and the houses in the beginning of the Bothentbnrm Strsaso and up'a * portico of the fish mirket

      are riddled with shot . From the gate end of the Rothenthurm Strasse to the palace , there are very few marks of any contest ^ vat that vast edifice , however ( tbe Hofburg ) , thereraremany signs of the work of destruction . The roof of the royal library is destroyed by fire , and the molten lead is lying on the square beneath . That portion of the palace which is devoted to the cabinet of natural history is also much injured . All the contents of those two parts of the palace are quite safe . In other parts of the palace only a few windows have been destroyed , except in the facade opposite the Burgthor ( palace gate ) , which is much defaced by the cannon shot which was fired from the royal stables on the insurgents . The gate itself—a beautiful work of artpresents a sad spectacle , being battered in numerous places externally and internally . One of its

      strong wooden gates is entirely smashed in . All the gates are strongly guarded . Troops are bivouacking in all the squares , and carry on their cooking in public , all eating , ton , out of the same soup and meat kettle , In the city proper , also , the Carnthnerstrasse , in tbat part which is opposite the gate of that name ( tbe Carinthian gate ) bears many marks of the combat ; as likewise does the street leading from that gate to the Augustinian church , the roof and tower of which are much injured . According to a communication in the Morniso Herald , Dr Schutte is under the protection of the American Envoy , who has confided to him some pretended employment in the legation . The t # o principal agitators of the committee of students have claimed tha proteotian of the French envoy , who has given them the situation of couriers .

      A letter from Olmutz , of the 8 th instant , informs us that the Austrian General Simonich , who had entered into Hungary from Galicia , had been beaten by the Magyars , and retired into the Marchfeld at Goding , a village not far from Vienna , Simonich lost two cannon and several men . According to the Breslau GiZSiTE , Pulsky has been taken prisoner , aa he was about to pass tho frontier into Hungary . The news is confirmed that the Austrian General Phiiipnovich has been shot at Pestn .

      HORRIBLE MURDER OF BLUM AND MESSENHAUSER ! Tidings from Vienna come , as might be expected , fraught with atrocity and bloodshed . Not only has Messenhauser , the brave commander of the National Guard of Vienna , been shot , bnt Robert Blum , member of the central Diet for the city of Leipzi g , has been alse shot by Windieohgra ' z . Blum and his colleague , Froabel , went with an address to the Diet of Vienna ; there is no proof of their having joined in the resistance of the Viennese farther than their having been found lodged in one of its hotels . But their sacred character as members of the central Diet cannot be denied ; and the shooting Blum is an act of soldiery defiance to all constituent and representative assemblies that will make a deep impres < sion upon Germany .

      Blam was amsn of first rate talent , and , for popular eloquence , was unrivalled , So strongly was his merit felt , that he was almost unanimously elected deputy by his fellow citizens of Leipzig , although a great majority of them did not approveof his extreme opinions . The act of Windischgratz seals the fate of the Archduke John , as head of the central government , and cannot but cause an explosion against his weak and puerile ministry . It brings , indeed , the great question of German unity and of any central power at once to a close or a solution . It must fling all the wavering and moderate into the ranks of the movement .

      The effects of the murder of the two deputies are likely to be even more serious in Berlin , than in Frankfort . The Prussian deputies will then see what they may expect from the uncontrolled freedom of military power . And although the Prussian monarch is not the idiot which reigns over Austria , and although Prussian generals and soldiers are not altogether brutes , like Windisohgra ' sand the Croats , still the horror o ' ' military rule and its mockery of justice , aa exemplifi' d in the case of Blum , cannot but be felt , and with the keenest sensibility , from Konfcsberg to Cologne . The captain who , on the 6 th of October , kept guard in the war office , was to bs tried by court martial , because he had not protected Count Latour with his men , but gave him up to the fury of au exasperated mob .

      BOMBARDMENT OF LEMBERG . We learn from the Cracow Journal that the town of Lemberg ( Galicia ) has been bombarded for three hours , during which the Hotel de Villff , Cracow Street , and the University , became a heap of rums . The cause of the bembardment originated in a quarrel between the students and a soldier , whs was wounded . The city has capitulated . COUNTER-REVOLUTION IN PRUSSIA . Bbblih , Nov . 9 . —In the Chamber this morsing a Royal Cabinet order was read , announcing the formation of a ministry , under the presidency of General Count Von Brandenburgb . The president of the Assembly then read the following extraordinary document : — UISJiGB TO THB AS 3 EHBIT COSVOXED MB THE

      The sensation created by this royal mesaigem the National Assembly was the . 'deepest possible . Immediately after it was read Count Von Brandenburg rose , aad , having declared that the Assembly was required to close tha debate , and that he protested against its being continued , as an unlawful proceeding , left the Assembly , followed by the ministers and a part of the members of tho Right . The question whether the debate should be closed having been put to the Assembly by the president , was negatived , and the following three resolutions were passed almost unanimously : — 1 . —That the Assembly will continue Us sittings at Berlin . 2 , —That the Assembly cannot be prorogued , removed , or dissolved by tho King ; and

      S . —That the Asssmbly holds those officers who had advised the King to issue this message to be unfit to administer the government , aad guilty of a violation of their dutU » towards the King , the people , and tbe As . sembly . The National Assembly then declared itself permanent , and a committee often has been appointed to remain in permanent sitting . Bkrun , Nor . 10 , —Last night was passed in disquiet and alarm . The National Assembly declared ifcselfpermanent , it having continued itssittingduring the night , and the Bureher Guardihad been ordered

      out in different quarters of the city for the purposs of mamUining quiet . At five o ' slock this morninj the Presidents the Assembly announcedsthathe had received the followin ? note of . the + Presidont of the Ministry , jCounJ ^ yon ^ Brandenburg : — You havewmmunioated to \ the . State , Ulnlstry to-d & y that several resolutions had bsen passed by the Natlonol Assembly after Its removal ^ had , been decreed . I hold it my duty to'ln / ormyou thattauoh resolutions are illegal , « nd to be considered null and void , and tbat the deputies who have passed them have made themselves guilty of a violation of supreme rights , and of the constitution .

      I request you to communicate this order to those deputies who have thus committed a transgression ef the law , and have disobeyed his Majesty the King , and beg you will eoniider that you and the deputies who have been guilty of an infringement of the rights of the Crown will be responsible for tho serious consequences which ma ; attend snob , an unlawful proceeding . Berlin . Nov . 9 . Count Von Bbandkkboio . To the President of tke National Assembly , The President also communicated to the Assembl y an order issued by the Chief of the Police to the Commander of the Burgher Guard requiring the Burgher Guard to prevent the continuation of the aietingr of the National Assembly , by occupying the building of the Assembly , and not permitting any

      members to pass excepting those who left the Assembly . The reply of the Commander of the Burgher Guard , whioh waa then read , stated that the Burgher Guard declined obeying this summons , as it considered the removal of the National Assembly from Berlin as a measuro calculated to endanger the rights and liberties of the people , which it held itself bound to guard and protect . In consequence of this declaration of the Commander of the Burgher Guard , the Cuief of the Police usued a proclamation this morning , stating that as the Bureher Guard had refused to execute the order given for dissolving the National Assembly , ho hsd been directed by the Ministry temake known thai the government of his Majesty the King had resolved to ) call into requisition the military for the purpose of executing that order . The troops in the capital would , therefore , to-day receive a re-inforcement sufficient to execute the

      Royal command , and to restore ' a state of order and quiet in this city . Taa effect of this proclamation was a kind of panic , which spread through the city in the same instant it became known , aud immediately the alarm was sounded , calling the citizens to arms in every quarter of the city . The Burgher Guard , however , of whioh sever *! battalions were drawn up before the National Assembly , resolved not to offer resistance to the military , but , if possible , to avoid a collision , which would be attended with the most serious consequences . Towards the afternoon the troops entered the city ; 15 000 men—infantry and artillerywith ammunition , were brought in . The Burgher Guwd has since issued a proclamation , in which it is stated that it had resolved , in accordance with the National Assembly , not to provoke a collision with the troops , and that it entreated all who were disposed to maintain peace and order to unite their eff » rts for the prevention of sorious disturbances .

      a In consequenoa of an order of the police , the principal guards of the city , which till now were held by the Burgher Guards have been resigned to the military . DECREE TO DISARM THB NATIONAL GUARD OP BERhlN—MEETING OF THE CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY-REFUSAL TO TOTE TUB SUPPLIES—THE MINISTERS DECLARED TRAITORS TO THE NATION , _ The Staats Ambicer contains a proclamation , signed by tho King , in which it is eaid that since the prorogation of the Constituent Assembly to Brandenburg , part of that Assembly has thought fit to oppose thatstep , and haa resumed its deliberations in Berlin . The Civic Guard has not only refused to act against this illegal state of things , but has taken these very members of the Assembly under its proteo * tion . Such a state of things , cannot says the proclamation , be allowed to continue ; and , consequently , it is thereby declared that the Civic Guard of Berlin

      is dissolved . Meantime the state oi affairs in Berlin is becoming more and more serious . On the 11 th the Assembly met at the Schutzeu-house , and resumed adjourned sittings there . After receiving an address of tbe students and others from the provinces , the President was about te > adjourn , the Assembly until Monday , when two or three motions , declared to be urgent , were made , and forthwith discussed and carried . The first was to the effect that a commission of sixteen should be appointed to draw up a full explanation of all that occurred , in the form ofa report , and that this report thould be published for the information of the whole nation ; the second was the nomination of a commission of eight , to consider aud report upon the expediency of impeaching the ministers as traitors to the country ; and , in the event of the Crown psraisting in its resolution , of also considering the

      expediency of refusing supplies . Both these motions were passed unanimously . In comequence also of the fact being known that the decree above mentioned , dissolving the Burgher Guard , was about to appear in the official pacer of the next day ( published on the night of the 11 th ) , a motion was made and carried declaring that thosa who advised these measures were traitors t & Ike country ; that tbe Burgher Guard should be forbidden , on pain of being them * selves o'ectared traitors , to surrender their arms , and they should be ordered and directed to defend themselves to the last drop against all attempts to disarm them—a defence to be sanctioned by a vote and decree of the Assembly , M . Grabow , ex-Preaident , proceeded , late on the evening of the 11 th , to Potsdam , to throw himself at the King ' s feet , but with lUtle hope of success . Tho city was quitt—ominously so .

      Berlin , Nov . 11 , —The debates in the National Assembly having recommenced yesterdsy afternoon at three o ' clock , it was resolved to appoint a committee of fi ^ e members to draw up a proclamation to the Prussian people for tbe purpose of justifying tbe measures adopted by the Assembly in const quence of its removal and prorogation by the King . The following is the proclamation whioh has been published to-day : — TO in I FftUS'IiH PEOPLE . The Brandenbnrg Ministry , whioh was appointed in direct opposition to tbe will of this Assembly , has began to exercise tho duties of government by prohibit , tag the deliberations of this Asseably , and decreeing its prorogation . The Assembly of the representatives of the Prnislan people haa protested agalcat tble invasion cf their rights , and hns resolved to continue Its dellbe . rations at ( Berlin . It has declared at the same time tkat it cmaot concede to the crown tho tight of disiol

      ving , removing , or proroguing It , and tbat It considers thoie counsellors of the crown who advised such a step unfit to conduct government , and guilty of a violation of th-. ir duties . Tho Ministry Brandenburg has , in conseqaeaee of this , declared the deliberations of tho Assem . bly te be illegal , and has threatened to act sgainst It with military measures . Citizens , at the moment when this Assembly may be dlsprreed with bayonets , we call on you to defend the liberties which have been gained , and for which we are ready to sacrifice our lives , but wo implore you likewise to act only In conformity with the laws , Ftrmaeis and moderation will , with the help of God , ensure the victory of liberty .

      The Assembly , after having resolved to meet the next morning at 9 . adjourned , but , as several battalions of infantry had been stationed near the building of the Assembly , and General Von Wrangel had declared to the Commander of the Burgher Guard that they would not be withdrawn , it was previously agreed upon between the Burgher Guard , which had iu ? xu awn ^ onnu the building , and the Assembly , that the members should pass out in a procession , and march with the Burgher Guard , under their protection . This was effected without anv resistance

      being offered by the military , but the latter were withdrawn soon after . The authorities , it seems , were not disposed to aot in any manner which was likely to cause a collision with the Burgher Guard-During the day the whole of the garrison was under arms , the palace being occupied by two battalions of guards , with artillery . The force at the arsenal had been increased , as likewise that at the principal gates . General Wrangel bad his head-quarters in the palace , the gates of whioh were closed . The soldiers were furnished with three days' provisions and a good supply of cartridges . The streets wer

      crowded during tha day with people . Foreigners had arrived to join in the approaching fray ; the whole of the streets leading from the Sc ^ uizm nans were occupied by bodies of workmen , armei and ready to fight ; Towards evening the streets became somewhat clearer , and it was evidently not the intention of the leaders of the movement to commence hostilities . Many families wero leaving the to » n . The mission of Grabow to the King had been unsuccessful . His Majesty referred bin , as well as others who came to mediate , to Ministers . The Communal Council of Cologne has sent an address to the National Assembly , declaring that the King has no right to adjourn or dissolve tte Diet without that body ' s consent . Maetings had also taken place at Aix-la-Chitpelle , Coblentz , and Treves .

      The Prussia * Smw Akmiobb contains a proclamation of the royal Prefecture af Police , stating that , as the magistrates of Berlin have refused their co-operation in carrying out tho royal proclamation of the 11 th of this month , relative to the dissolution of the Civic Guard , baeauae such an obligation i » not expressly imposed upon the civic authorities by the Civic Guard law of the 17 th Oatober ; tha Prefecture of Police has been charged by the Minister of the Interior to effect the surrender of the arms given by the State to the Civio Guard at certain spo oified places . The arms are to ba deposited by battalions and duly numbered , so that on the re-organisation of the Civic Guard , they may bo restored in the same order .

      Berlin , Nov . 12 . —A royal proclamation , ' . which appeared yesterday evening , and according to which the Burgher Guard is dissolved by the King , has produced general consternation throughout the city , and a combat between the military and tbe Burgher Guard is regarded to day as almost inevitable .

      BERLIN DECLARED IN A STATE OF SIEGE . The city was declared io a state of siege for tws milej in its circumference , in the course of the day . It was announced by beat of drum in all quarters of the city , and posted up on the walls . No persons are allowed to form gathering * in the streets ; no meetings are permitted , no placards allowed to ba published ; tbe clubs to be closed , and arms delivered up . The Burgher Guard is summoned forthwith to surrender their arms . The peace of the city has not been broken , and up to the last moment no collision had taken place . The constituent Assembly met in tke Schiitzan Haua at three o ' clock , and re-elected Von Unrah their president as before , aa also the same

      vice-presidents . Of their proceedings it was impossible to know inuch , on account of the crowds that surround the place . It was stated outside that they had declared al \ those opposed to them guilty of high treason . The As-iomb ' y was en permanence , and sitting up to tbe latest hour on the 12 tn . The clubs all presented addresses to tbe Chamber approving of its resistance , and the Burgher Guard chiefs had met and determined not to yieid or give up their arms . Meanwhile the period for delivering up arms and dissolving the Civio Guard has been delayed twenty-four hours , and would remain open until sunset on the ld'bi when measures were to be taken to compel them to do go should they not obey .

      THE WAR IN ITALY . Garibaldi haa issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of Lombardy announcing that he will saon be among them to carry on a war of extermination against the Austrians . T ! ie Ohsiokb , of the 6 oh instant , quotes a letter from the Lake of Corao , of the 2 nd , stating that the insurgents maintained themselves in the Val d'Intelvio , and that the Austrian troops had not advanced beyond the town of Argegno . ' The writer says that troops were marching in every direction to surround them . The valley of Camonico , and the centre of Valteline , were also in open revolt . The Italian General Apice had been wounded in an encounter with aparty of TjroleaeChasseur 8 , » t Mount Bisbinr , and sought refuge at Capo Lag ? .

      SPAIN . MONARCHICAL XIURDERS . The Madrid Gazetts of the 3 rd , contained two official announcements , in one of which eighteen prisoners of the republican party newly arisen in Alioant , are said to have been nhot iu cold blood by order of the cominawdant-jeneral of the prsvinoa ; and , according to the other , eight stragglers of the Carlist party of Gamundi , caught at Fortanete , were subjeuted to the same fate . The Republican movement in Arragon has been entirely suppressed , and General Yriarte , who crossed the frontier on the i'h inst . into Navarre and Arragon , in hope of finding the insurrection spreading , and tbe troops wavering , has precipitately returned into the French territory , leaving hia arms secreted

      in Spain . Twenty of these refugees have been arrested , but the remainder , together with the abovementioned chief , have eluded detection . Madrid , Nov . 8 : h . —The Queen ' s forces sustained a considerable defeat litem ths Carlists on the 1 st , who , 1 , 000 foot strong , attacked the column of Brigadier Parades , composed of picked men , at Esquirol . Four cavalry officers on tho Queen ' s aide f ell , and of foot many were slain and taken prisoners . The detachment of La Birbal , in number eighty , had surrendered to 800 Carlists , and reports prevailed at Barcelona , on the 3 rd that three companies had been made prisoners nsar Viola ; Meanwhile , Amettler and his republicans have been driven into Franco , The Pamplona correspondent of the Espaona announces an invasion of Navarre as en the eve of taking place .

      BELGIUM . Affair of ' Risquoss Tout . '—The Pourvoi en Cassation of the prisoners in the ' Risquons Tout ' affair has been rejected by the Cour de Cassation at Brussels , As the sentence now remains in full force , it is expected that a commutation of punish , ment by the royal prerogative of mercy will very shortly take place .

      The Iahd Company's Lecturers, To Tbi Edi...

      THE IAHD COMPANY'S LECTURERS , TO TBI EDITOB Or THE KOBTUEEN STAB . Sib , —In the report of the General Conference of the National Land Company held at Birmingham , whioh appeared lathe Stab of Satardoy last , thero appear some observations in reference to the lecturers of the L * nd Company , to which I deem it my duty to make the fallowing brief reply ;— . ' Air Hyatt wished to know why the lecturers had b . ea withdrawn . * Mr O'Connor said , that complaints had been heard with regard to some ef these lecturers , and aa they « n . tailed some exponas upon the Company , they were withdrawn . 'Mr Kydd said , that he wag one of tho lecturers , and as complaints had been made of some of them , he wished , as a matter of justice te himself , to know if he was one of th .-m .

      ' Mr O Connor said , tbat a more active and intelligent Individual—whether considered In reference to the Chartist or Land movement—than Mr Kydd did not exist . His character was unimpeachable—so man bad ever conducted himself mare creditably , or discharged hie duties more faithfully . ' Sow , sir , there were hat three lecturers appointed for the Land Company , Mr Kydd , Dr M'Douall , and myself being the persons . If such charges aa Mr O'Connor alludes to have bean made , Mr Kydd is entirely exonerated , and there are but Or M'Douall and myself to appear bs

      the guilty parties . Dr M'D uall Is in prison and cannot answer for faimeelf , bat I am not as yet ; I therefore answer to these general charges : that I am not commons of having at any time , in aU the places that I have visited , given any gronnd for cause of complaints ; that I have never once heard from ths Directors that ever any complaint was made against me ; but , on the contrary , I have seen letters from various districts , bearing testimony to my coniiuot while I held the very responsible situation ; and this the Directors can testily if tbey think proper , or contradict if the ; can do so .

      Bnt I think Mr O'Connor mast have been misinformed at to the cause of the dlsmUaal of tho lecturers ; and I am only surprised tbat Mr Clark or Mr Kydd did not set the matter right , because the one wrote , and the other received , a copy of the latter annonneing our dismissal ; and which , had its true grounds been stated , would have saved me the trouble of writing this latter , and prevented the public from inferring that I was discharged for s breach of public duty . The letter whioh I received from Mr Clark announcing our dismissal , stated tbe reasons for the Directors doing ro to be : ' tfiaf as ( lie Company had tlosed , we eould add w more members to i > , and consequently that our hlcws could le of no value . ' Now , sir , as tbat wai the true one , I think it should have been the proper answer to Mr Hyatt ' s question ,

      Sir , I regret having had to write this letter , bat Mr O'Connor is very sensitive about his character—so is Mr Kydd , and very properly so , too ; I trast , therefore , the members of the Land Company , and all others whom it may concern , will exoase me If I do not wish to appear less anxious about ' my geod name' than either of the above gentlemen , I remain , yor . ru faithfully , Halifax , Hov . 13 .

      Toriii Destruction op a Ship bt Firb — Fram Annotta Bay , Jamaica , we learn that the barque Captain Ross , Williamson , loading at Port Maria , for Greenock , was totally destroyed by fire on the nijjht of the 22 d of September , Tho firo , it appears , originated from the conduct of the chief mate , who nest down the after deck to steal rum , and had filled two demijohns and a bucket out of the csrgo , when the candle fell off tho puncheon into the bucket , whioh immediately blazed and set fire to the Bails and other combustible matter . He waa dreadfully burnt , as

      also the steward , a black lad , whom he compelled to assist him in the robbery . Their lives are not cut ot danger , particularly tho latter , whose depositions have been taken , in which ho mentions that when the vessel first took firs the mate would not allow him to give any alarm , or to get upon deck , and ( he only way he saved himself was by rushing through the cabin window overboard , and swimming to the boat , whence he was braught on shore . The crew have all ( except those two ) saved their clothing . The master has not saved a stitch of anything ; his chronometer , maps , a large amount of money , and some very valuable papers are all gone .

      Profosep New County Prison. — Atthe Mary...

      Profosep new County Prison . — Atthe Marylebone vestry on Saturday , Mr Haikes having been called to the chair , and the parochial receipts and disbursement for the week having been read ! and approved of , Mr Williams ( late M . P . for Gov entry ) begged to be informed by the county magis trates present whether there was any truth m the report that it was intended to erect anew county prison , at an enormous expense , / or the purpose of enabling the authorities to carry out their newfangled separation system ? It was said that Coldbath-fields prisen was to be thrown down , and tbat a new prison would be erected . —Sir Peter Laurie sai d that it was true that such a proposal was contemplated , which , if carried into execution , would entail upon the ratepayers the expenditure of £ 150 , 000 ., and if the Pentonville system were adopted in the new prison it would increase tbe annual expenditure-£ 15 , 000 ., while the county was indebted £ 300 , 000 ,,

      and the county rates amounted annually to £ 70 , 000 ., which twenty years ago only figured £ 40 , 000 . But he was happy to state that the proposition to erect the new prison was defeated ; but Messrs Botch and Hose , the magistrates who brought it forward , were not to be baftlei , and therefore declared that they would petition government in ita favour . In order to attach popularity to it , the parties desirous for its success spread a report that government was favourable to the new building and the separate system . That he emphatically denied , as well as the report that it was intended to build barracks on the site of the present prison . He inquired at the Horse Guards respecting the latter report , and was informed that there was not the slig htest ground for it . He was astonished at any poor person applying for workhouse relief , when , by committing crime , he could obtain good living in Coldbath Fields , and the beat in Petitotwille , whera

      the support of each criminal costs £ 35 ., and where he has a room to himself neatly fitted-up , and suplied with the luxury of hot and cold water . Sir P . Laurie condemned the separate system , ridiculed the idea of converting , in this country , felons into saints , and hoped that all the metropolitan parishes would unite in opposing the project of erecting a new county prison—Mr Elliot , deputy-lieutenant of the county , assured tbe board that the ratepayers need not be apprehensive , for no new prison would be built . But , at the same time , he expressed himself favourable to the prisoners sleeping in separate apartments . — -Mr Williams moved the appointment of a committee to inquire into the amount of the county rate , and the mode of its expenditure . —The motion was carried , and a committee appointed .

      The Bishop op London has issued a pastoral letter to the clergy of his diocese , calling upon them to do their utmost in their various localities , to remove the ascertained causes of the extension of cholera ; ' A line of duty , ' he observes , ' in which the clergy may render themselves eminently ' useful , and which is surely in close correspondence with the nature of their office : for if to visit a sick parish * ioner and to minister to his recovery be one of their plainest duties , it is a still more blessed work ol charity to rescue , under the blessing of God , whole masses of their poorer brethren from the inroads ol disease . Intemperance and filthiness / . says his lordship , ' are too frequently the result of want , and ]

      unless something be done for the relief of extreme indigence , it will be au empty mockery to tell those who are borne down and crushed by its weight , that they would be less miserable if they were less filthy . ' His lordship , in conclusion , dwells emphatically upon the necessity of combating the fallacy that cholera is contagious . ' Let it , then , be one object of your pastoral visit * to remind those members o £ your flock whom providence has entrusted with tha means of alleviating the misery of their fellow-creatures , that a portion of their charitable expenditure can hardly be more safely or properly directed than towards defraying the expense of cleaning and venti * lating the miserable abodes of those by whose labout they are directly or incidentally benefited . '

      Cuurcu Establishments —A meeting of the Brf « tiati Aati . State-Church Association was held a few days ago , at the Horna Tavern , Keanington , Mfi Pearson , M . P ., in the chair . Th « Rev . Mr Town * aend moved the first resolution , declaring that tha existence of a State Church ia injurious to the best interests of Christianity , and incompatible with the full eDJatmont of religious liberty . This waa agreed to by tip meeting , though not ait . li that 'unanimity ' of which some of the speakers boasted , for it is due to truth to s » y tbat more than half tbe persons present did not vote at all . The second resolution , moved by the Rev . Mr Green , pledged tho meeting to offen their most determined opposition to the scheme for

      the endowment of ths Roman Catholic clergy fox Ireland , which , it ia supposed , will be brought for * ward ju the next session of parliament . A Mr Jones explained the plan of agitation against the Estab * lUhed Church whioh the association hag determined upon , by rending a corps of lecturers to various quarters to institute a provincial agitation during ihe ensuing vrint ? r . Messra Scobie , Mi & ll , and other supporters of the dissenting in ( er . st , wore present ^ The fitapla of the speeches conei ted of unmeasured denunciation of all established chui ones ; and it wag broadly hint . d , that though tbe fate of the ohurctf establishment might drag down with it' other institutions' into a common ruin , this would ba anything but a rsgretable consequence .

      Launch op a Steam Ship —On Monday au iron steamer ol about 600 tons burthen , built for tho Em > peror of Russia , and destined by his Imperial Majesty to promote and protect tho commerce of the Black : Sea , was launched from the yard of Messrs Robinson and Russell , at Millwall . Tho Taman , which iff the name gWen to the vessel , is 1 ? 5 feet long , 26 feet in the beam , and U feet 1 inches depth of hold . Tha . hull is constructed on lines laid down by Mr Ditchburn , and for strength of construction , smoothness oS finish , and perfect execution , seems well calculated to

      maintain the superior character of Thameabuilfi vessels . As the flood-tide arrived at its height the dog-shores were knocked away , and her name having been pronounced , while a bottle of wino was eaori < Seed at her bows , she glided smoothly into her future element , amid the oheera of a numerous body of gen « tlomen—many of them connected with the Russian aud other embassies—who were assembled to da honour to the occasion . Tho vessel will be immedi . ately towed to Greenwich , wh ? re she will be fitted ! with a pair of ninety-hsrse power engines , by the , Messrs Penn .
