Twenty of the candiuaies have been rejected , and those who Succeeded owe their election to the fact of their names having been on the list of the Electoral "Union .

      The 'Dibits' of Monday gives the following resume of the elections : —Moderates elected , 511 ; Socialists , 217 ; "Elections not yet known , 22 . — Total , 759 . The following members of the Constituent Assembly , who have been Ministers , and members of the Ministry , since the 24 th , 1848 , have not been Ifi-electcd as members of the Legislative Assembly and are not likely to obtain scats : —MM , Tronve Manvet , Flocon , Marie , Senard , Cornier Pages , Dopont de FEure , Lamartine , Freston , Leon de Malleville , Goudchaux , Recurt , fiastide , Taulabelle , Tonrret , Trdat , Carnot .

      The Ml uwin * members , who took an active part In the public business , have also failed in their elections : —MM . Bachez , Marrast , Duvergicr de -B . auranne , Bliault , Pagnerre , Jules Favre , Dupont de Bussac , Uureaus de Pusy , Degousse , Clement Thomas , Pence , Ducous , Berger , Prondhon , Bu-¦ ti gnier , Audry de Puyraveau , July , Chambolle , Portalis . Georges and Edmond Lafayette , Bccns , & c . The Expiring Assembly . —On Saturday after along discussion on the stamp duties , which came to no result , the order of the day was read for the first reading of the hill relative to the bill introduced by M . L ? on Faucher for the continuance for three months of the powers conferred on General

      Changarnier . Several government members contended warmly that the question ought to be postponed , because the Assembly would not have time to decide upon it definitively . The opposition , on the contrary , contended thattt should be taken into itnrasdiase consideration , and that it should not he subjected to the formality of three readings . A motion was then made that the further consideration Of the raeasares should be adjourned , which wss rejected by a majority of 294 to 254 . This vole produced a great deal of agitation . The discussion on the hill iistlt then commenced . After a stormy debate the Assembly rejected the bill . The nuraliers Wf .

Barrot then endeavoured to induce the Assembly to suspend its sittings , in order to allow time for the preparation of the Hall for the 3 fe « v Amiably , but the majority refused . "Wednesday . —The National Assembly was occupied loihc closa of its sittings yesterday with a discussion produced by the interpellations of M . Sarrans lelative to the affairs of Rome and the intervention of Eus ^ ia in Hungary . The reply of the Minister of foreign Affairs was to the effect that the conduct of the government in relation to Rome was strictl y in

      accoroJiice wiih the vote come to by the Assembly , and nii' . ' - n gard to Russia the government had addressed letters on the snhject to the Cabinets of St . Petersburg , Vienna , Berlin , and London . The policy of ihs government was , he added , to negotiate on the subject , and from that course it was determined net ta deviate , as it considered it best suited to the Interests of the country . M . Joly proposed an Order O ; the day motive , which was tantamount to an imnndiatc declaration of war . General Cavai gaac warmly opposed its adoption , and proposed another , merely calling "© n the government to use the mo > i energetic measures to protect liberty and

      the Republic . The order of the day pure and simp le was proposed . A very stormy scene ensued . Many ci the representatives quitted the Chamber to avoid voiinj on the order of the day , when it was put ftom 'be chair that the balloting urns should be left opan till seven o ' clock , when , if the number of votes was not completed , the sitting should be declared ai psiinanenee . One member cried out that those who abstained should be declared Jiors la loi , A sepne of the utmost violence both preceded and followed the announcement , the members of the Mountain standing on their benches , and shouting Tocifercuslv .

      j » . tieng ! h something like order was restored , and several ^ fco hz & taken no part in the commencement cass in and gave their votes , aud also those TFhohsd'rruiifested their intention , not to vote deportee thtir bulletins in the urn . At seven o ' clock precisely ths division was closed , when the numbers Were—k-r the order of the day , ' pure and simple , ' Sfty-rn- * -- ; against it , 459 . Majority against Ministers , 406 . A third order of the day was proposed by JL Basthle , which was ordered to he printed . The Assembly rose at a quarter-past seven o ' clock in a state of srieai . excitement .

      The Mixistky . —The Ministry went on Sunday evening last ( says the' Patrie' ) and ttndered then resignations in a body to the President of the Republic General Bugeaud arrived suddenly in Paris yesterday , being called up by government . Mosbay . —The negotiations for the formation of a new eabittct have been going on with great activity to- < iay , but nothing has been definitivel y settled . There appeares to be little doubt , however , that Marshal Bngtsud will be the new President of the Council ef M ais ; ers , and that he will be joined by M . de ¥ a ' . hftu ; and M . Buffet , two members of the present Cabinet . The other memJiers of the present Cabinet namely , M . Odiilon Barrot , M . Passy , and M . Laciosse , endeavoured to form a Ministerial cornbinaiion without M . de Falloux and Buffet ; but they have failed . It is understood that it was on the

      Italian question that the difference of opinion occurred which led to the breaking up of the Odiilon "Barrot Cabinet . Tuesday . —Marshal Bugeaud is to be Minister of War and President of the Council of the new adwinistrauon . It is as yet uncertain who will fill up the subordinate posts , hut it is probable that M . Leon Faucher will be Minister of Finance , and that M . Falloux will remain in his present post . The President of the Republic and the moderate

      party who counsel him , see in General Bugeaud an anchor of safety . The army loves him , they say , and be will thus have sufficient power to put down insurrection . This is a hold and desperate step takeu by Louis tfapoleon . His new President of the Coancil is not liked in Paris . He is the enemy at once of the Socialists and of the Cavaignac party , including MM . Dufaure and Lamoricjere , and Jt remains to be seen whether , with the mnnberof partisans these two parties possess in the chamber , he will be able to obtain a working majoritTj

      A grand review took place to-day la the Champ de Mars , in presence of the President of the Republic . The object of the review was to ascertain the real feeling of the troops with respect to the go-Ternraeat , it having been so currently reported that the Socialists had succeeded in withdrawin g many of them from their allegiance . The number of troops on the ground was upward of 40 , 000 . Their appearance was certainly magnificent . The troops sainted the President of the Republic with lond cries of'Yive Xanoieon , ' « Vive le President , ' and occasionall y af 'Vive la Republique 1 ' TheKepublican Guard , which was the first that defiled before the President , called 'Vive la Republique Demoeratfcme ef SocialeS' The crowds of looktrs-on were very cold in theirieception of the President . On leaving the Palace of the El ysee , and again on his return . Lams Napoleon was warmly received .

      turbances have taken place at Montpellier on the oc » casion of the elections . The hotel of the Prefecture wa ? attacked , but not taken . Several persons have been arrested . At Cette there were disorders which were speedily put down . On the night of the 19 th the Procureurof the Bepublic atLodeve was fired at by an assassin , and killed . No further details have reached the government . Accounts reached Paris yesterday afternoon thai the Emperor of Russia bad recognised the French Hepuhlic . M . Kisseleo is appointed charge d ' affaires , andM . Happ secretary of the embassy , m , Happ left St . Petersburg for Paris oh the 12 th .

      The' Constitutions ! ' states from authority that the Ministry still remains in office , aud that the resignation of no Minister , with the exception of M . L . Faucher , has been accepted , or even offered . It adds that the Ministry continues to carry on the administration as usual , and that there will be' no interval in the action of the executive power . ' This rectification does not deny the existence of a Ministerial crisis . « Le Peuple * publishes the following letter from Serjeant-Major Boichot : — ' Citizen Editor , —After having vainly tried arbitrary measures to prevent my election , certain reactionaries are endeavouring by a system of base calumny to raise doubts as to the sincerity of my democratic and Socialist convictions . I oppose the most energetic contradiction to all these fables . —Health and Fraternity . Boichot-Sergeant-Major of the 7 th Light Infantry . '

      One of the lately elected representatives of the peop le for the department of the Creuse , named Nudland , is an operative mason , and may he seen at work every day at a house in process of construction in the neighbourhood of the Pantheon . He has declared that he will not abandon his trowel until the day of his installation in the Legislative Assembly .

      GERMANY . The Fbankfort Parliament . —On the 16 th inst . M . Simon , of Treves , brought on a motion d ' urgence , which was to declare , that since the Regent persisted in leaving the affairs without a Minister to direct them , an executive committee of five should be named by the National Assembly ' / or the carrying out of the Constitution . ' A considerable majority declared that the debate should not at present take place upon the subject . This intermezzo had only just ended when a message from the Regent , dated this day , announced that lie had nominated M . Gracvell Minister of the Interior and ad interim President of the Council . I cannot describe the

      universal laughter caused by this announcement ; In the sitting of the 17 th the House was informed of the Archduke Regent having formed his new Cabinet , and a programme was read , in which the new Ministers declared that they did not intend to execute the Constitution of Germany . After the reading of this programme , M . "Vvelker moved a sweeping vote of want of confidence in the new Cabinet ; and , after a short debate , the House resolved to divide on M . Welker ' s motion , which the Assembly accepted ( by 191 votes against 12 ) in the following form;—' After having been informed of the formation of a new Cabinet , and after the reading of the programme of that Cabinet , the Parliament

      declares that it cannot p lace any confidence in the said Cabinet ; and that , under existing circumstances , it considers the appointment of the said Cabinet as an insult offered to the representatives of the nation . ' In the sitting of the 13 th , M . ' Gravell , President of the Council , in reply to a question from M . Simon , of Treves , declared that- Hessian and Wurtemburg troops have been concentrated on the frontiers of the grand duchy of Baden , not with views hostile to the constitution of the empire , but to take possession again of the federal fortress of Rastadt , and protect the states bordering the grand duchy of Baden . He then declared that the vicar of the empire , in the hope of an amicable arrangement

      of the differences respecting the constitution of the empire , had thought it right to send a courier to his Prussian Majesty , and that the answer to his overtures would serve as a guide to his ulterior conduct . The vicar of the empire , he added , had received bis mandate from the National Assembly , and his power had been conferred on him in the name of the go « vernments by the Germanic diet . "When , therefore , it will be requisite to lay down his mandate , he will only do so in the midst of the Assembly ; but as far as concerns his power , he will resign it into the hands of the governments . As for the ministry of the empire , it con 2 eives itself bound to remain temporarily in power , notwithstanding the distrust imp lied in the vote of the National Assembly .

      The Assembly then passed to the order of the day , that is to say , to the discussion of the propositions from the Committee of Thirty , for the formation of a regency of the empire . The discussion was adjourned to the following morning . On the 19 lh , the following resolution was put to the vote , and carried by a majority of 126 to 116 : — ' That the Assembly elect forthwith , if possible , from amongst the reijrning p rinces , a stadtholder of the empire , who , up to the time set forth in the resolutions of the 4 th of May ( Nos . 5 and 6 ) , shall , according to the 3 rd section of the imperial constitution , enjoy the rights and fulfil the duties of the supreme head oi the empire . '

      The other sections of the resolution provide for the taking the oath to the constitution on the part of the stadtholder and public functionaries , for his carrying out the decision of the Assembly relating to the next elections and the convocation of the first imperial diet , for the exercise b y the present Assembly of all the rights of the imperial diet until the latter be convoked , and for continuing the stadtholder in his office , even after the imperial diet has

      been convened , in case there should be insurmountable obstacles to the conferring of the supreme dignity on the sovereign of the greatest , or the next greatest , state of Germany . The last section declares that , with the carrying out of the resolution in question—inasmuch as the work of establishing the constitution of Germany will be then completed —the power of the central executive will cease , and all its attributes will be transferred to the stadtholder of the empirei

      The following resolution was also adopted : — ' That , in case the vicar of the empire , as threatened by the ministry , should transfer his powers otber' wise than into the hands of the -National Assembly , sueh transfer be declared b y the National Assembly null , illegal , and not binding . BADEN . —We have dates from Carlsruhe and Mannheim to May 16 th . Carlsruhe was in a very unsettled state ; several thousand volunteers had arrived , and a great number of persons bad fled to ^ Vurtemberg or France . The soldiers had proceeded to the election of their officers ; very young meU jhad been named captains and majors .

      BERLIN , May 14 . —The Prussian government have struck the first decisive blow at the Frankfort Assembly . The Prussian deputies have been recalled . The decree of their recall appears in the ' Staats-Anzeiger of this evening , and is as follows : ' ROY AI < ORDINANCE . ' 1 . The commission of the deputies elected in the Prussian stale to the German National Assembly on the ground of the Diet ' s decrees of March 30 , and April 7 , 1848 , and our own ordinance of the 11 th of the latter month , are expired .

      ' 2 . This , our present ordinance , is to be set be fore the deputies by our plenipotentiary at Frank foit-on-Maine for their observance , and with the in junction to abstain from taking any part in the fur ther proceedings of the Assembly . 'Frederick William . ' Given at Charlottenburg , May 14 , 1849 . ' ( From the ' Times . ' ) The last advices from Elberfeld andtheinsar

      gent districts in the « Kolner Zeitung' are of the 17 th inst . They inform us of the successful repression of the insurrection . Elberfeld , Iserlohn . and the other towns , have returned to obedience , and in the case of fserlohn only was the interference of the military wanted . In the combat which took place in that town , the 8 th Rifles suffered severely , and haasome of their officers killed , hut the insurgents were at length reduced to obedience . The submission of Elberfeld was caused by the return of a de .

      putation which that town had sent to Berlin , and which brought assurances of the King ' s acceptation of the Frankfort Constitution , such as it had been in the first reading , with onl y a few slight modifications . This news operated a sudden change in Elberfeld ; the citizens and Landwehr removed the barricades , and a troop of rank Republicans who had participated in the rising were'induced to quit the town . They marched into the country , where they dispersed . Most of their leaders were arrested . Letters from the Rhine frontier announce that two regiments of Prussian infantry , which had been ordered into Bavaria , have put their oflicers to death , and joined the people .

      Isbrxohn . —This important manufacturing town , which had been luring several days in the possessum of the insurgents , was taken on the 17 th by the troops of the line , whp , enraged at the loss of Lieut .-Col . Sehrotter , who was killed during the contest m the town , committed great excesses , killing not less than tea pergons jn one house ,

      THE MAR IN HUNGARY . The ' Pesther Zeitung' of the 6 th inst ., contains the following news : — ' Kossuth in a report to the National Assembly , in which he terras himself , in accordance with the national desire , President and Governor of Hungary and all the countries thereto appertaining , had appointed the following ministry : Minister of Interior and President of the Council , Barthol Czemeri ; of Foreign Affairs , Count Casirair Bathyany ; of iinance , Duschek ; of Public Works , Czanyi ; Worship , Michael Horvath , Bishop Of Czanad J Justice , Bakovics ; War and Commerce to be named later . '

      According to the last report of four o clock on the afternoon of the 6 th , Ofen had been bombarded during twenty-eig ht hoars , and already a breach opened . The Hungarian batteries are planted on the Adlar , Schwaban , aud Blonksberg . The bombardment of Pesth from Ofen had begun on-the 4 th inst ., and been exceedingly destructive both to property and life . On the afternoon of the 6 th the firing on Pesth ceased , and Gorgey was requested by the government commmissioner Iranyi to send an officer to Ofen to parley , and stop the continuation of hostilities against Pesth , on pain of the garrison being put to the sword on the capture of the fortress . A letter from Galatz of the 23 rd ult . j mentions that General Bern is gone to attack Warsaw .

      DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS BY THE HUNGARIANS . The ' Cologne Gazette' of the 19 th ( 2 nd edition ) , states , on the authority of one of its Vienna correspondents , that Bern had attacked and disarmed a Russian corps of 30 , 000 men ; that a great number of the Russian officers had gene over to his side : that the Hungarians had captured sixty pieces of cannon ; and that the disarmed Russians had been driven across the frontier . It must be -remarked that neither date nor place is g iven for these extraordinary statements , which were also published in another Cologne paper on the evening of the 18 tb . Another correspondent further writes us word , on the l * th of May , that Field Marshal Tarkiewich with 18 , 000 men had attempted to enter Transylvania , bat had been attacked by Bern and entirely r juted . *

      THE RUSSIAN INVASION . ChacoW , May II . —Of . the Russian troops which marched , from Poland through Cracow into Galicia , two battalions , with twelve twelve-pounders , returned to Cracow at five , in the afternoon of the 8 th , from Makow , in the circle of Wadowice . The citizens fell into great consternation and terror , fearing that the Russians , defeated by the Magyars , would pillage their town . But the same troops were presently sent off by the railway into Silesia . On the

      9 th , fresh troops , eig ht squadrons of Uhlans , poured in from the Russian side . To-day arrived 4 , 000 infantry , later a regiment of Hussars , and at four , three ' battalions more of infantry . The number of Russian troops that have in all , up to this date , passed through 0 racow , cannot be set down at less than 30 , 000 . They have not yet penetrated into Hungary , but are encamped at Jordanow , only ten miles from the Magyar outposts . The horses , which are only shod in the fore-feet , are said to have suffered a good deal from the bad roads .

      The following ukase , relating to the Russian intervention in Hungary , has been published in St . Petersburg : — 'By the grace of God , We , Nicholas I ., Emperor and Autocrat of ail the Kussias , declare to the nation , having , by our manifesto of the 14 th of March , 1848 , informed our subjects of the miseries which afflicted Western Europe , we at the same time made known how we were ready to meet our enemies wherever they might show themselves , and that we should , without sparing ourselves , in conjunction indissoluble with our sacred Russia , defend the honour of the Russian name , and the inviolability of our frontiers .

      ' The commotions and rebellions of the west have not since then ceased . Guilty delusion , enticing the thoughtless crowd with visionary dreams of that prosperity which can never be the fruit of wilfulness and obstinacy , has entered the east and the dominions contiguous to us , subjects of ( he Turkish empire , viz ., Moldavia and Wallachia . Only by the presence ot our troops , together with those of Turkey , has order been restored and maintained ; butin Hungary and Transylvania the efforts of the Austrian government , distracted already by another war with foreign and domestic enemies in Italy , have not yet been able to triumph over rebellion . On the contrary , strengthening itself by hordes of our Polish traitors of 1831 , and of others , foreigners / outcasts , runaways , and vagrants , the rebellion has developed itself there to a most threatening degree .

      ' In the midst of these unfortunate events the Emperor of Austria has addressed himself to us with the wish for our assistance against our common enemies . We shall not refuse him . ' Having Called to the assistance of this ri g hteous enterprise the Almi g hty Leader of Battles and Lord of Victories , we have commanded our armies to move forward for the extinction of rebellion , and the destruction of audacious and evil-intentioned men , who endeavour to disturb the peace of our dominions also . 'Let God be with us , and who shall be against us ? 'So—we are convinced of it—so feels , so hopes , so aspires our God-reserved nation , every Russian , every true subject of ours , and Russia will fulfil her mission .

      ITALY . THE ROMAN REPUBLIC . THE NEAPOLITANS AGAIN DEFEATJEP ... Rome Thursday , May 10 . —Yesterday there was some sharp fighting - at Palestrlna , about sixteen miles east-south-east of Rome , the ancient Pra :-neste , between Garibaldi ' s division and a Neapolitan corps . Without further preface , I will translate the two documents , a' bulletin ' and an ' official report , ' which have been published on the subject : — ' OFFICIAL BULLETIN . —FIRST ITALIAN LEGION OF

      GENEKAL GARIBALM . ' Palestrina , May 9 , Quarter-past Eight p . m . ' A complete victory . The enemy , 7 , 000 strong , entirely routed . We have taken three pieces of artillery two mutilated , one good . The firing commenced at half-past four , and finished at dusk . More exact details shall be sent in an hour . Palestrina is illuminated . « Davekio , Chief of the General Staff . ' ' OFFICIAL REPORT . —ITALIAN LEGION ,

      COMMANDED BY GARIBALDI . ' Palestrina , May 9 , Nine p . m . ' The combat of to day could not have had a bettor termination . The Neapolitans , to the number of 7 , 000 , with 800 cavalry , arrived in the evening of yesterday , at Valmontone , and were annoyed by us during the night with a fire of musketry , pushed up to the walls . To-day they attempted to strike a decisive blow at us . Three roads lead from , this place to Valmontone , which all meet in one at two musket-shots beyond Palestrina . The enemy divided his forces into two bodies ; one was directed upon our left , by the road which runs from this to Cave , with a branch to Valmontroue , the other upon our right , b y Lugnano . At the centre a skirmish took place , in which three of the Royalists were killed , without any of our men being hurt .

      ' At half-past four the enemy , whose coming we ardently longed for , appeared . All was ready- The fire began from our left , the enemy repl y ing with cannon , as well as musketry . None of our men gave ground for an instant ; but stood nailed to their post , like lions made fierce by thirst of blood . After aa hour ' s firing , the enemy made a movement in retreat ; a detachment of our troops , sent to the left , under shelter of the high ground , opened a fire upon his flank , well nourished and directed with such skill and steadiness that we had the satisfaction of seeing the enemy betake himself to a precipitate flight , leaving many dead and wounded , with three pieces of artillery , two of them disabled . He was pursued for a considerable distance , and , though very clever at running , some prisoners were made Meanwhile another body of troops came upon our left

      , bythe pathway of Zagarolo ; to which leads a track branching from the post-road of Frosinone , in the neighbourhood of Lugnano : they were drawn up m mass , with a vanguard of cavalry : another body of ^ cavalry , deployed upon their left flank , was posted in reserve . This body arrived in good order at the point where the roads crossed each other , and opened a fire from one piece of artillery . Their object was to repair the repulse they had received on the other side , and they attempted to deploy some battalions on this quarter , but our troops were too firm at their posts to . allow them to pass j thereupon they changed their tactics , and attempted ^ Tvtae-The fire with which they were met was too ^ ceeh : they tried a last effort , but unsuccessfully . Our men , encouraged exceedingl y b y what had passed , nut them with ardour , and . C 0 uld nQ t W be res-

      trained in their position . Quitting it on three points , they made a vigorous assault , and forced the enemy to a hurried flig ht . A single company of ours sumced to pursue him for more than a mile , repulsing and almost destroying a squadron of cavalry , which had in despair attempted a charge . 'Thus it is proved that the Italians , when they fiK ht , conquer—for those only are Italians who contend for liberty . The Neapolitans sustained a heavy loss in killed , wounded , and prisoners : of our men few were wounded , and still fewer killed . The particulars of the Royalist and our loss will he given

      to-morrow , .,,,., ' Daver io , Chief of the Staff of Gen . Garibaldi . Decree of the Triumvirs for the Liberation of . ' French Prisoners . —In the name of God and the people , considering that between the French people and Rome there is not , nor can exist , a state of war ; that Home defends her own inviolability as a duty and as a right , deprecating any offence between the two republics as a crime against the common faith of both : that the Roman people do not hold responsible for the deeds of a deceived government the soldiers who , in fighting , obey their orders , the triumvirate decree all the French soldiers made prisoners on the 30 th April are set free , and Will be sent back to the French army . The Roman people will great with a fraternal applause and demonstration the brave soldiers of the sister French Republic—May 3 . '

      Immediately after the above decree was issued , the French soldiers were seen walking arm in arm with the Romans , previously to marching to their camp . The ' Corvlere Mercantile' of Genoa , of the 14 th inst ., states that General Oudinot immediately embarked the French prisoners returned from Rome for Corsica , without allowing them to mix with the other troops . On the subject of the menaced Spanish attack , the following proclamation has been issued by the Triumvirate ^— ' Romans I Spain also addresses to you , in proud words , as is its wont , an insolent defiance . Thus the quire is complete . Austria , France ,

      and Spain , try to renew old history , responsive to the summons of a Pope ; hut that history no longer repeats itself in the same terms , and against ancient usage stands the new conscience of nations .. Behind the bayonets of General Oudinot stands the generous French people ; behind the Imperial sword of Radetski are the valiant Hungarians and the democracy of Vienna ; behind the haughty hidalgo who menaces Fiumicino , is . a peop le which has no longer the strength that conquered the Moors , nor the gold of the New World . However , be they two

      or three , the difference is small , and Rome will not stir from its'hhy purpose . These ont visitors found , three centuries and a half ago , an Italy in the throes of death ; they find now an Italy arising from its trance , the Italy of the people . The Roman people , which feels the obligation of belying their calumnies , of combating their injustice , of accomplishing its mission by saving Rome and Italy , awaits them , undaunted and firm against every trial . A people which has a mission to accomplish in the sight of humanity , and eternal justice cannot die .

      ' The Triumvirs , ' AnMELLINI , MAZZINI , SAFFI . 'Rome , May 7 , 1849 . The ' Positivo ' of Rome , of the 8 th inst ., publishes a nate to the Catholic powers , dated the 7 th , and signed by Rusconi , Roman minister of foreign affairs . After observing that the Roman question , hitherto a political one , has now assumed a religious character , and that all Europe conspires to impose a detected power upon three millions of men , who declared it for ever fallen , this document proceeds to state that a great people , recalling its old traditions of glory , has shaken off its slumber and awoke to the life of nalions . If the prince whom Europe

      would restore at Rome were , like many others , the mere inheritor of vulgar privileges , the consequences of the struggle would be limited to a greater or lesser number of victims ; were the task Europe assumes a mere question of independence or servitude , it might be loaded with malediction , but still the moral interests of the human race would not suffer . But the actual object of Europe shakes the edifice of religion to its very foundations , and crushes faith in thousands of hearts . The whole state of Rome has declared the downfall of the temporal power of the pontiff ; and , though under the menace of a French , an Austrian , and a Neapolitan invasion , all the municipalities have boldl y protested against its restoration . Is this the mere voice of a faction ? The consequencs-is , that many believers now ask

      themselves whether he who represents a religon of peace has a right to reassert temporal power by force of arms ; and , as it is easy to confound the doctrine with its apostle , many begin to doubt of the truth of religion in consequence of the acts of its head , and cannot conceive how a reli g ion that once redeemed the world from slavery is now changed into a weapon intended to transform free men into slaves . ' Let Europe , ' says the document in conclusion , ' reflect before she preeeeds the struggle is no longer between one army and another , nor between one class of men and another ; but it is a struggle that embraces a whole moral world of ideas , hopes , and faith , that may have an echo in the most distant generations .

      ( From the ' Morning Chronicle . ' } Rome , May 12 . —Apropos of the Neapolitans , a number of letters and journals have come to hand at the post-office here , from Naples , directed to the superior oflicers of the Invading corps , in Some . This was reckoning a little without their host ; things are not quite come to that point yet . Siege of Bologna . —The 'Milan Gazette ' , of the 13 th inst . states that hostilities having recommenced at Bologna after the armistice , the town has been blockaded , and the waters of the aqueduct and the canal of the Reno cut off , so that the town will have speedily to surrender for want of water and provisions .

      The' Corriere Mercantile' of fieuoa of the 14 th inst ., contains some particulars about the renewal of the attack upon Bologna on the 9 th , Hostilities recommenced at noon and lasted till dusk . The Austrians threw rockets upon the town from the suburb of San Michale , and cannonaded it from the Palazzo Aldihi . A combined attack upon the Galliera , Felice , Isaia , and Saragozza gates , took place at the same time ; all which were repulsed , while the Bolognese cannon did great execution among the Austrians at the Annunziata . The Bolognese have 2 , 000 troops of the line .

      Fall of Bologna . —Letters from Turin announce that the Austrians have taken Belogna b y assault , after a heroic defence by the inhabitants . The number of killed on both sides is very great . TUSCANY . —Butchery of the Patriots , — The ' Corriere Mercantile , ' of the 16 th , states , from Leghorn , that upwards of 200 persons have been shot there . Persons wearing the national colours , though perfectly quiet in every other respect , have been shot without a trial . Many houses have Oeen sacked by the soldiery . At Florence the liberty of the press has been suspended . VENICE . —A letter from Turin of the 13 th says : — ' A new treason has been discovered at Venice . An accomplice revealed to General Pepe a conspiracy to set fire to the arsenal , and whilst the troops of

      the fort of Malghera should be occupied in endeavouring to extinguish the fire , the Austrians were to make a terrible attack on the fort . General Pope profited by the discovery . A short time before the hour fixed for the fire , he arrested t & e traitors , and having caused a large quantity of wood and straw to be placed near the arsenal , he set fire to it . The Austrians thinking that the arsenal was on fire , as had been agreed upon , commenced the assault ; but they met with such a resistance that they were compelled to retire with heavy losses . Several hundred wounded , were sent to Padua , and the besiged , - profiting by the disorder of the enemy , sallied- out , made 800 prisoners , and spiked the greater part of the Austrian ...

      NAPLES AND SICILY . ( From the . 'Times . ' ) We have received intelligence of the 9 th from Palermo . The city is now in- the hands of the King ' s government . On the previous day the citizens had induced the Mountaineers and Free Corps to go outside the town and attack Filangieri , but the moment they had got rid of such unpleasant visitors , the National Guard closed the gates against them and refused to let them re-enter . In the meantime the Neapolitan troops came up , and a dreadful massacre , it is said , took place of the Republicans , who fled on every side , and were pur « sued by the Royal troops . The king ' s flag was then hoisted , and the city has now made its formal submission , and the civil war is at an end .

      CANADA . Montreal , May S .- ^ -The . parliament was not in session to-day ; it will convene on Monday / next , and hold its sessions in the new building owned by Mr . Hayes , called the Freemason s' Hall , but it is > said that the seat of government is to alternate four yewa at Quebec and Toronto , .

      A young man engaged in the Custom House has been arrested , and is in custody , for disturbing the peace , or , it is probable , to be detained for a witness . The ag itation still continues in the eastern townships . All is quiet in Montreal . , Quebec partook of the general excitement incidental upon the Rebellion Losses Bill having been sanctioned . The Governor-General was burnt in effigy on Friday evening last . Resistance was made by a section of the Irish party who professed ultra ... i

      Repeal doctrines , and a fight ensued , which was finally quelled by the police . The military were in attendance , but were not required . One man was wounded , but not seriously . On Saturday an attempt was made to burn Sir A . M'Nab in effi gy , but the moderate of the Irish party prevented it . On Sunday a mass meeting of the French Canadians was held , aided by the same Repeal followers , and a deputation sanctioned to proceed to the seat of government to present an address to the Governor-General , offering defence and condolence .

      On Monday large parties again assembled , but all passed off quietly . . . There is a talk of arming on both sides , and the papers in the Canadian interest talk most loudly . . May 4 . —News ' from all over the country still continues to pour in , both by telegraph and mail , of the monster meetings got up to protest against ' the Indemnity Bill , and to . get up petitions ( o the Queen to recall . ' the Governor . We have just received word from Toronto of an immense meeting held there for the above-named object , and the appointment of Sir Alan M'Nab as a delegate to England ; There was fierce debate in the Assembly yesterday evening upon a motion of adjournment—bitter criminations and recriminations passed between both

      parties . Mr . Papineau , the old leader of the rebellion , made a furious attack on the Ministry , charging them with incapacity , and being the cause of all the disturbances ! Mr . Solicitor-General Drumraond replied by charging him with the desire of annexation to the United States , and of being the first Governor of the new Slate . : Sir Alan M'Nab raked up recollections of murder and outrage committed during the rebellions of 1837 and 1838 . The Ministry deprecated the cause of the argument as being got up for mere party purposes , and said that at a proper time they were prepared to justify the whole of that proceeding . The President of the Council likewise said that one of the causes of the excitement was the desire of annexation , which he deprecated .

      There were no new disturbances m the city yes . terday , but there doubtless would have been if J the House had not adjourned at an early hour . Large placards were posted all over the city , unanimously signed by the influential inhabitants , urging the necessity of maintaining peace and order . The ex . citeraent is great , and there are rumours that Upper Canada will rise . A few days will show if it be true .

      UNITED STATES . Everything in the way ot news in the United States is torpid and dull . There are no political movements whatever . The intelligence from California presents no new feature . People continue to wend their way to the new El Dorado by thousands and tens of thousands . At Independence , Missouri , there were 5 , 000 encamped , waiting for milder weather to start the grass on the prairies , and the numbers were daily augmenting . Many had returned from the Rio

      Grande , their companions having died of cholera , and many desire to return from the Isthmus of Panama , where death is also busy , especially with those who have no means to proceed further . In Texas , too , the cholera has been very fatal , while at New Orleans , the deaths average nearly 200 per week . The pestilence is fast travelling up the rivers , and the victims of cholera at St . Louis were last week fortysix . Apprehensions are entertained that the mortality will be great throughout the country soon after the commencement of the hot season .

      An interesting correspondence is published in the American papers between Lady Franklin and Mr . J . M . Clayton , Secretary of State , respecting the arctic expedition . The American government promise with alacrity ' that every effort will be made to lay the subject before our jvhalers , and induce them to undertake the work for which the British government have offered so high a reward . ' We are lost in amazement to perceive how the masses of the people are everywhere cunningl y arrayed against each other for destruction . In the case of the Roman difficulties , curses loud and deep are uttered against the French , for their

      intervention in favour of the Pope . It does seem strange indeed that this soidismit republic should unite with Austria to restore the government of priests , spies , and inquisitions . One would think that the discoveries recently made at Rome of the dungeons Of the Holy-Office would be enough , to arm the world against such a temporal and reli g ious power as that which has so long depressed Italy . There is a serious talk here of raising a protestant fund for the aid of the Roman republicans . It is agitated in private but influential circles , and though it may be disguised in its exterior , it will be not less positive in its object .

      Emigration is again pouring its full tide upon us . Three thousand paupers were landed in this city in tffO days last week , The Irish predominate . How long is Ireland to pour forth these wretched crowds ? Is her population larger than that of continental Europe ? It would seem so . The moment these people arrive they commence begging . The streets swarm with them . INDIA .

      MORE ROBBERY . —THE ANNEXATION OF THE PUNJAUB . Bombay , April 17 . —Dost Mahomed and his Affghans have escaped back to Cabool . The war is over . The Punjaub is British territory . In these brief sentences may be announced the event which have transpired during the last fortni g ht in relation to that country to which all eyes have for a long time past been so eagerly directed . I informed you in my last of the arrival at Attock of General Sir . W . R . Gilbert and his army , in hot pursuit of the flying Ameer of Cabool , who , vanquished on the field of Goojerat , was making the best of his way towards the Khvber Pass , en route

      to his own capital . It was supposed our politicals had succeeded in gaining over the Khyberies by bribery , and that these people would oppose the passage of the Dost through the defile of which they were the self-appointed keepers . But if any moneywas paid , the Dost must have outbid us for their favour , for he entered the Khyber Pass just as General Gilbert crossed the Indus , and had made his way to Jellabad before the latter reached Pesh awur . When the British general arrived at the capital of the province , he found that the Affghans had destroyed the villages and suburbs around , and set fire to the cantonments , and to the former residence of Major General Lawrence .

      On the 29 th of March a proclamation was drawn up , declaring the Sikh dynasty at an end , and the Punjaub annexed to the British dominions . This was promulgated the following day , prefaced by a brief notification from the Governor-General . The two documents run as follow : — NOTIFICATION—FOREIGN DEPABIMBNT . Ferozepoor , March 30 , 1849 . The Governor-General is pleased to direct , that the accompanying proclamation , by wliich the Punjaub is declared to be a portion of the British empire in India , be published for general information ; and that a Royal salute be fired at every principal station of the army on the receipt thereof . By order of tho Right Honourable the Governor-General of India . ( Signed ) P . 'Melvill . Under-Secretary to government of India ,

      With the Governor-General .

      PnOCLAMATION . _ For many years , in the time of Maharaja Runjeet Singh , peace and friendship prevailed between tha British nation and the Sikhs . When Runjeet Singh was dead , and his wisdom no longer guided the councils . of the State , the sirdars and the Khalsa army , without provocation and without cause , suddenly , invaded the British territories , lheirarmy was again and again defeated , T / hev were driven with slaughter and in shame from the Srt h ?! rade & and atthe & ates of Lahore the Maharaja Dhuleep Singh tendered to the Governor-General the submission of himself and hi « chiefs , and solicited fha clemency of the British government . viuou

      Pa control of the British government , to which they voluntarily submitted themselves , has been resisted by arms . ' „ ..., ~ , Peace has been cast aside . British officers have been murdered when acting for the State ; others en"a » ed in the like employment have treacherously beenthrown into captivity . Finally , the army of the State , and the whole Sikh people , joined by many of the sirdars in the Punjaub who signed the treaties , and led by a member of tho Regency itself , have risen in arms against us , and have waged a fierce and bloody war for the proclaimed purpose of destroying the British and their power . The government of India formerly declared that it desired no further conquest , and it proved by its acts the sincerity of its profession . ,

      The government of India has no desire for conquest notv ; but it is boundin du * y to provide full y foritsown security , and to guard the interests of those committed to its charge . To that end , and as the only sure mode of pro . tecting the State from the perpetual recurrence of unprovoked and wasting wars , the Governor-Gene , ral is comp elled to resolve upon the entire subjection of a peop le whom their own government has long been unable to control , and whom ( as events have now shown ) no punishment can deter from violence , no acts of friendship can conciliate to peace . Wherefore the Governor-General of India has doc ' ared and hereby proclaims that the kingdom of the Punjaub is at an end ; and that all the territories of Maharaja Dhuleep Singh are now and henceforth a portion of the British emp ire in India . His Highness the Maharaja shall be treated with consideration and with honour .

      The few chiefs who have not engaged in the hostilities against the British shall retain their property and their rank . The British government will leave to all the people , Whether Mu & selmen , Hindoo , or Sikh , the free exercise of their own religions ; but it will not permit any man to interfere with others in the observance of such forms and customs as their respective religions may either enjoin or permit . The jagheers , and all the property of sirdars or others who have b ? en in arms against the British ,

      shall be confiscated to the State . The defences of every fortified p lace in the Punjaub , which is not occupied by British troops shall be totally destroyed , and effectual measures shall be taken to deprive the people of the means of renewing either tumult or war . <• , Over those who shall live as obedient and peaceful subjects of the State , the British government will rule with mildness and bentfic ? nce . . , „ But if resistance to constituted authority shall again

      be attempted—if violence and turbulence shall be renewed—the Governor-General warns the people of the Punjaub that the time for leniency will then have passed away , and that their offence will be punished with prompt and most rigorous severity .
