      France. The Mountain Committee Of Pena&N...

      FRANCE . The Mountain committee of Pena & nence , who purposely fixed their day of meeting on the 4 tay after that chosen liy the constitutional and legal parliamentary catnmittee , duly assembled on Friday last . Victor Hogo presided , and about twenty members ¦ jrere present . The conversation tureed chiefly upon theteoent occurrences in the Afdeche . But the comsuuee , following the example of that which sat ¦ the day before , resolved that nothing that was gmng on in the political world , called for their interference .

      THE TRIALS AT 1 Y 0 SS . On ' the 19 th , after some unimportant evidence , Delarue , sergeant in the 8 th Light Infantry , deposed that on his return to Toulon from Africa , in October last , a sergeant-major , named Boulba ' m , proposed to him to enter a secret society , the object of which was to establish the Red Republic . He went from curiosity . Tne persons initiated took an oath on a poignard . The members of the society proposed an insurrection on the meeting of The Assembly ; they talked freely before him , because they thought tha ' . he belonged to the society , they intended to invade the arsenal , and to take the fort Lsmalgue , with the assistance of non-Commissioned officers and soldiers belonging to « cret societies . The oath taken was , 'I swear in the name of the martyrs of Liberty , to die if

      I am a traitor , * and so on . Witness told his capttin of all this . One of the conspirators in a jneetinz once asked him what he would do if he vrere ordered to fire on the citizens , and he had answered that he should obey orders . The repl y did not seem to give satisfaction . The conspirators had promised him , in the event of success that lie should bs made a captain , hut he had not considered that serious . The conspirators were divided nto quarters and sections . Witness had seen letters addressed to Daumas burnt . After taking the forts at Toulon , the insurgents intended to jnarch en Draguinan . Their plan was to seduce several hundred workmen , soldiers , and marines . Witness had never heard the name of Gent pro . jounced , and never knew that there was a plot at Lyons .

      ... Several other witnesses gave evidence implicating Boulba ' m , but be said he knew nothing of ( he plot at Lyons , nor of any one concerned in it . He arrived at Toulon in January , 1851 . He h ad aot attended meetings of a secret society at the house of Daumas ; and he had not negotiated a fusion between it and other societies . The declaration the witness made before the examining magistrate was much fuller , and in contradiction to what he now said . This gave rise to gome discussion between the court and M . Michel ( de Beurges . ) Several witnesses deposed that an insurrection had keen generally expected .

      At the sitting ol the Court on Monday , the 18 th Jnat ., the counsel for the accused applied for permission to impeach the credit of the government Tritnesses , whenever there was reason to believe it doubtful , and more particularly that of a witness alleged to be of infamous character , who , having wormed himself into the confidence of the French refugees at Geneva , now professed to betray it . The Public Prosecator opposed this , on the ground that'the Code of Criminal Proceedings says posilively that a witness can only be questioned on matters relative to the case > ' The Court , we are told , taking the same view of the matter , gave judgment' that the investigation proposed was not

      Of a nature to aid in tbe demonstration of truth ; that it could not be allowed ; and that the certificates presented against the witness should not be accepted . ' After two other witnesses for the prosecution , a commissary of police was called . He admitted that' it was only after Gent's arrest that be had even heard of the Lyons plot . ' He had thr ~ been charged to make inquiries respecting the ct tcter of Gent . He had learned that in bis y £ ' he was fond of women , pleasures , and play and that he was very ambitious . He was also supfosed to entertain advanced political opinions . In larch , 1843 , his furniture was seized to pay his debts . It was generally known at Avignon that he

      bad committed incest . He had sold for 30 , 000 f . bis share in the fortune of his father . All this information bad been given to tbe witness by men of honour . They were , moreover , rather of Gent ' s way of thinking in politics . The unfortunate Gent here interposed , and ' appealed to the Court for protection . ' He reminded the Court of the decition it had just given against himself . Surely , if if ? were incompetent for him to shake the credit of the police witnes-es , it was equally so for them to defame him , anonymously . Surely such evidence as thishearsay raoreover , could not be interpreted to be ' matters relative to tbe case , ' within the meaning of that highly prized article of the C .: de of Criminal Proceedings . He , thrrefore , called on the President to compel the witness ' to state all the tru ' . b ,

      and name his informants . The President refused to do so ; observing that' he could not force the witness to speak , and , moreover , that the police always refused to give up the names of its agents . ' The counsel for the accused hereupon drew up their conclusions' ( or 'bill of exceptions , ' as Westminster Hall bath it ) , against the ruling of the president , which were immediately taken into consideration by the full court , and , after argument , unanimously rejected ! The egregious logic of this judicial iniquity was at the same time thus stated by the court ; ' As the witness has made bis statements on the authority of police reports , and as socb . reports esnxM not give r ise to a judicial investigation , there was no reason for tatting the measures demanded bv Gnt and his advocate V

      On the 20 th M . Pomsiejean , commissary of police at Macon , said that he bad learned that a democratic congress was to be held in that town , and that , on the 28 th October , M . Michel ( de B-mrges ) , M . Colfavru , and M . Bauue , representatives of the people , arrived at Macon . They were received by a number of persons . The representatives , he was informed , were to have gone into the adjacent villages to preach civil war . Gent remarked that the evidence the witness had given before the examining magistrate was , in many points , a contradiction to what he said now ; and M . Madier de Mon'jau observed that , in one of his reports , the witness had stated that twenty repreaentatives had besn assembled at one time , whereas there had never been more than seven or eight .

      M . Bovsset noticed that the witness had declared that he arrived at Macon in the night by the Messageries , whereas the truth was that he had arrived by the steamer ia the afternoon . He asserted this On his honour . The vritcess said that be was sure that M . Boysget had arrived by the Messageries in the ni | ht . ' M . Br . ysset . —What ? The witness gave him a flat denial—what an infamous thing . The President said that the witness stated what be believed to be true , hut alter M- Boysset ' s declaration the court thought him mistaken ' .

      The witness then said that M . Colfavru and M . Dain , representatives , who with other persons had gone from Macon inti a neighbouring village , had neglected to pay their inn bill , and bad excited the workmen to rise in insurrection against their master * . This statement caused great excitement amongst the advocates , and several of them rose to tjiaak at the same time . Tae President rrquested them to apeak one after the other , and M . Maudier de Montjau demanded that the words of the witness should be : aken down . The wuness said he did not mean to charge the two representatives w ' nh not having paid their reckoning at the inn , bat the persons who were with them .

      M . Msdier de Montjau remarked that the witness retraced one part of his statement , but nevertheless he required that the other should he taken down , in order that if thought advisable llC might ha proceeded against for calumnv . Representatives of the people , he saH ., could not be considered invisiabie if they were to be calumniated by tbe police With impunity .

      seized announcing the sending , to a particular Address , of lvVblhs . of ' onion seed '—meaning gunpowder , The letter was signed with consonants separated by marks , and contained peculiar signs . A man in digging iu his field once turned up a bottle containing words and rallying words . Tbe agitation at last assumed such a character of ensemble that witness was convinced that it followed some supreme aud secret direction . In some parts of the department the agitators executed men in effigy , in others they insulted the gendarmes ; in others they assembled their adherents , and made them swear on

      poignards to be faithful . At one place , where the gendarmes dissolved a club , they were ill-treated by a band of between 300 and 400 persons , and the men they had attested were rescued . At Jeangeac , a secret meeting was held , in a cavern , and arms and ammunition were distributed , On the 11 th of November he received a telegraphic despatch announcing that an armed rising had commenced at Fiaviac , and that Marion and Mallevnl were at the head of it ; that even if the chiefs were to be arrested , the insurrection would continue , and that fires were to bs lighted on the mountains as signals . In consequence of this he took precautions .

      In answer to M . Madier de Montjau and Gent , the prefect said that , notwithstanding the breaking up of the plot ^ there bad been UHformnalely within the last eight days serious agitation in the department , that eight gendarmes had been seriously wounded , and that a whole commune bad to be taken by assault . Still thia agitation might have been caused by other causes . At the fetes in the Ardeche there was always a certain agitation , but

      not of the character he had noticed . The persons implicated in the affair of St , Ferreol had been tried aud acquitted . When the agitation bad become very serious in the department , and when certain acts had been committed , he had written to the Minister of the Interior to say that , in his opinion , a prosecution ought to be commenced . At St . Andeol barricades had been erected . That affair , taken in conjunction with the affair at Fiaviac , proved the existence of a plot .

      On the 21 st the Court was crowded to excess . M . Michel ( de Bourges ) , was unable to attend from indisposition . M . Louis Grave , formerly sub-prefect of Apt , said that that arrondisseraent was literally swarming with secret societies . He succeeded in becoming acquainted with their secrets . In 1850 , the meetings of the Montagnards assumed a character of audacity . The Cauton of Cumet was specially devoted to the Socialists . In the Canton of Voguet the Mayor succeeded in . obtaining possession of a letter , by which the Socialists were convoked on a particular day . In September , the demagogues wished to organise a banquet of ten thousand persons . In October , a man of republican opinions ,

      informed him that Gent had presided over a numerous meeting at Valence and that thirty departments were to take part in an insurrection . In November , the party displayed great activity . It was easy to foresee that a taking of arms was intended , though nothing was formally determined on the point . A little later , he was told that a great movement was being prepared . After the arrest of Gent , the demagogues were in consternation—they were completely checkmated . The President of one of their clubs threatened the commissary of police with death , for having closed it , and an attempt was made to kill him . The person who was tried for the crime , was , however acquitted .

      Gent remarked that the agitation which existed in the arrondisseraent of Apt , had been increased by the witness having dismissed twenty-five mayors , and closed clubs . j ' M . Madier de Montjau referred to the share ; the witness had had , when sub-prefect , in the affair oi the pretended miracle of a bleeding picture at Saint Saturnin ; but the witness paid that all that he had done was to call it extraordinary , and he only did that after the clergy , headed by the Archbishop of Avignon , had visited it in procession . The demagogues , however , had had nothing to do with that matter .

      Hubert , watchmaker at Apt , said he had refused to attend a meeting of Montagnards on . the mountain of the Liberon . At Avignon he was pressed to belong to a secret society , and the members even appointed him , without bis consent , president of- it . He knew the dangerous tendencies of the society , and recommended its members to love work and uphold family ties . They treated hira with deference and respect , and called him their father .

      There was a meeting of democratic delegates at Valence , but he forgot at what time . At the beginning of November he ceased to occupy himself with politics , and he was superseded a ) chief of the democratic party at Apt by a man named Michel . He knew , however , that an insurrectionary movement was organised , and that it was to extend o the adjacent departments . The accused Pctioon had not proposed to place witness at the head of the movement . Witness had been condemned for

      having been illegally in possession of gunpowder and bullets . M . Combes , commissary of police at Apt , said that a lady had called on him at the end of October , and stated that an insurrection was about to lir ° ak out , and that the signal for it was to be given by fives lighted on the mountains . A little after he was told that if he bad made a descent , a few days before , into Hubert's house , he would have discovered many things , hut that it was then loo late .

      One evening he was informed in a public-bouse by Several persons , that they bad been requested to go to the mountains armed ; that Hubert had ammunition , and that he had organised the democrats . It , however , became known that Hubert was accustomed to visit the Sub-Prefect of Apt , and he , in consequence , lost a good deal of his influence with his party . The secret societies displayed gre at activity ; there was one at Montdrsgon . At one of their meetings which witness attended he heard Gent frequently spoken of .

      M . Colivet , lieutenant of gendarmerie at Apt , had heard that an insurrection was to break out in November , and that a signal lor it was to be given by lighting fires on the mountain . Orders were given him to arrest Gtnt . M . Honorat , Mayor of St . Maximin , department of the Yar , had been told in November that an insurrection was to break out on the 10 : h or the lltb . The insurgents , in his district , were divided into seventeen sections , each commanded by a chief . At a given signal , they were to have attacked the Marie and seized the muskets . They look as their motto , * No pity—no mercy !'

      The President tt en read the deposition of Captain Blondel , of the gendarmerie at Diaguignau . It was to the effect that the plot which exbfed in the department of the Var was connected with that of Lyons . Plan , a imVr at Mende , department of the Lozera , said , he had been a member of the secret society , called ' the ' Jevme Montague , ' and had taken an oa ' . h on a poignard . Chamboredon , miner , of Messeigb , department of Var , had been a member of a secret society , and bad taken an oath on a poignard to do all that he might he ordered for the Democratic and Social Republic . He was threatened with death incase he should reveal what passed in the society . The pass words were * "Universal Suffrage and Lvons . '

      M . Guerpillon , commissary of police at Digne , knew that Gent had presided at the congress at Valence , and that he had written ta Longomazino in readiness . Heavier attended the congress . ' The plot was to have broken out on the llrh November . Longomazino was to have seized the- Prefecture of Valence , Rouvier the Mairio , and Sauve the offices of the Receiver-General . Longomazino be / ore being arrested said , « AH will go well ~ a company of the 25 th Regiment will declare for us . ' and a socialist , named Roustan , boasted that the day of vengeance had arrived . Sauve had been commissary of the Provisional Government as D ; gne . His administration was bad . Longomazino , originally a cooper in the arsenal at Toulon , received 600 francs from a socialist representative to spread socialist doctrines . He had made many dupes .

      Longomazino remarked that this was falsehood and calumny , but the President told him that if he repealed such language he should be expelled . The wi ness continued : It was part of the plan of campaign organised at Valence to cut off the gas at Marseilles , destroy the railing , and burn the town . Gent was at the head of the general movement . In answer to Longomazini , the witness said that he could not state by what means he tiecame acquainted with the facts he had related ; the police Lad means of gaining information which i ' could not reveal .

      Some of the accused put questions . to witness w the purpose of showing that his statements were unfounded , ; and others charged him with calumniating them . M . Arnons , Mayor of AHemagne , department of

      France. The Mountain Committee Of Pena&N...

      the Itose Alp » s > said that'he we / 8 convinced that an insurrectionary ^ movement bad been intended . There had be « Si a certain agitation in his department , and Longomazino was a noted agitator . — The court adjourned . On the 23 rd Maillard , a miller at Orang e , department of the Vaucluse , deposed that in May , 1850 , several persons proposed to him to enter a benevolent society . He consented and paid fifty centimes . Some time after it turned ont that the society was a

      secret one , and his formal reception was proceeded to . He was taken to a room with his eyes bandaged ; and , kneeling , was made to take an oath to kill the President of the Republic in the event of his violating the constitution . He was told that if he did not obey orders he would be killed . Two drawn swords were held over his head , and a man said , 'We baptise fhee a brother Montagnard ! ' The sighs ot recognition were then explained to him ; they consisted in touching the head , the nose , and the ears .

      The witness here fixed his eyes on the accused Corel , and Borel cried , ' Don ' t presume to look at me ' . ' Whereupon the President shortly observed that he had no right to insult a witness . Two other witnesses gave some trifling evidence which closed the evidence for the prosecution , and the Court proceeded to hear witnesses summoned by certain of the accused to give evidence in their favour . Lantillon , clerk of a notary at Lyons , denied that , as alleged in the indictment , he had received a packet of printed papers on Socialist subjects from the accused Belliscer . A commissary of police bad searched his house , and arrested him , because a latter had been seised announcing that tbe papers were to be sent to hira . After four days' detention he was released , and he was astonished that his friends in the dock had not been released also .

      The President observed that the Court had no need of his opinion , and that his remark was improper . l Lantillon said he considered that , as long as he spoke with moderation , the Court was bound to listen , The President ordered him to sit down-Turrier , commercial traveller , of Tarascon , deposed that on the 13 th ol January he met the accused Pettibon at Lyons , and that he had told him that his visit was merely to treat with some brewers for the supply of a quantity of beer .

      M . Courrent , advocate of Aix , ex-Procureur-General , declared that the accused Thourel had not spoken to him of Gent before his visit to Lyons , but on his return had informed hira that he was to enter into correspondence with that person . yVit ness remarked to him ; that the salvation of the Republic consisted in the maintenance of calm , and Thourel said he tras of the same opinion . In the affair of Marseilles Thourel displayed great devouted .

      ness ; if it had not been tor him the streets would have been drenched with blood . In private : life Thourel was strictly honourable ; and be was a very able and very learned advocate . Witness held him in the highest esteem , and was proud to share his political convictions . As to Gent , witness knew that his conduct was admirable in the disturbances at Marseilles in 1848 . By his entreaties he caused the insurgents to abandon the barricades on the Place de Castellane .

      M . Talon , avoue of Aix , said that the object of Thourel ' s visit to Lyons was to come to an understanding with Gent , and other influential men ol the democratic party , to prevent , not to cause an insurrection . Thourel , in witness ' s opinion , was a very honourable and intelligent man . He esteemed him so highly that he could not believe he had ever been concerned in a conspiracy . M . Cote , advocate of Digne , said that in ; the letter which Thourel had written to Sauve , be had blamed any foolish rising . As to the accused Longomazino his conduct at Digne had been very honourable . The accused Bouvier very rarelv visited Digne , though he only resided at eight kilometres from it .

      Jules Duchaffaut , at Digne , bore testimony to the moral character of the accused Sauve , and said that M . Dufaure , when Minister of the Interior , was so pleased with his conduct as sub-prefect of Forcalquier that he intended to give him a more important post . The witness had never beard anything against Longomazino , and did not think him violent in his political opinions . Rouvier was an intelligent farmer , and although a republican occupied him little with politics . M . Pierre Bernard , journalist of Paris , knew Delescloze , and got him employed to report for the 1 Siecle' the visits of the President of the Republic to Lyons and Strasburg .

      Several other witnesses then deposed to facts in favour of Dupont , Rouvier , Jcuvenne , Jean Louis , and Sauve , but there was nothing of the slightest interest in what they said . This completed all the evidence . M . Michel ( de Bourges ) intimated that the counsel for the defence intended to plead that the court-martial had no legal p ower to try the prisoners ; and it was settled , after some discussion , that at the next sitting the Public Prosecutor should answer that point , and should present his requisitory . The court then adjourned to Monday . M . Michel Bourges and the other advocates of tho accused of Lyons have renounced the defence . The President will immediately name public officers to defend the accused .

      The councils of arrondisseraent have now closed their sessions , and tbe result of their deliberations on the ravision question has sadly disappointed the Elysee . The reports differ as to the exac number of councils that have expressed an opinion on the subject . According to M . E . de Girardin , who published a list , to the accuracy of which there has been no authentic contradition , only 140 out of the 364 have pronounced in favour of revision . On the other hand , the utmost claimed by the partisans of government is 187 , a number exceeding only by five the half of the whole .

      M . Marie , the eminent advocate , who Vfaa a member of the provisional government , has publihed a pamphlet addressed to the councils-general , insisting strongly both on the illegality and the impolicy of their occupying themselves with the question of revision . The secretary , or komme d ' affaires of M . Cremieux , who has been arrested at Lvons , is accused of attempting to seduce the troops in the garrison from tlyjir duty .

      ITALY . We learn from Florence that the director of the ' Constituzionale , ' has been prohibited from publishing even the smallest fragment of Mr . Glad-Stone ' s letters . The director of police at Pestro has been assassinated on the threshold of his own house .

      AUSTRIA . The following is the account of the correspondent of the ' 'limes' concerning the celebration of the birthday of the Emperor : — As the behavior of the people during an illumination in honour of the Sovereign affords a most favourable opportunity for judging ot the real stale of public feeling , a short account of the festive proceedings of the evening of the 18 th may not prove without interest . Of the illumination itself little is Jo be said , excepting that it was what is here called ' angesagf ; ' that is , printed notices were sent round to the inhabitants of each house , informing them that , as the monarch would for the

      first time since his accession to the throne pass the anniversary of his brithday in Vienna , it would be well to follow the example given on the preceding evening by the loyal inhabitants in the neighbourhood of Schonbrunn , the Emperor ' s summer residoncp . Placards posted by order of the municipal authorities , also announced that the Sovereign would be present at the firft representation of the new opera Casihla . According to the Vienna papers , the streets * swam in a sea of light , ' but the truth is , that withthe exception of the public offices and the HenmarUt barracks , the illumination was infinitely inferior to any which has taken place since I have known Venice . Transparence there were none . The Emperor , who did not sppear at the Opera , drove through the streets for about half an hour in the course of the evening . As I was

      coming out of the ' Burg' theatre , at about halfpast nine , the Monarch , in an open oniriage , drove at a sharp trot along Kohlmaikt up to the palace . 'iVo or three yards before the horses' heads ran some six or seven boys , shouting * Vivat' with might and main , while close around and behind the carriage figured a most disorderly mob , the like of which has certainly not been seen in the streets of tbe city since tho month of October , 1849 . The two rows of well-dressed but silent spectators which lined each side of the K hlraarkt appeared to regard with no little astonishment the proceedings of the coalless men who rushed in wild disorder past them . As I have before remarked , minor party distinctions have almost disappeared , and the nation may at present be said to be divided into Absolutists and Liberals . The latter console

      themselves with the reflection that'it ia but a question of time between themselves and their an tagonists . ' The resistance which the Cabinet of Vienna has met with relative to the annexation of all her provinces to the Germanic Confederation will doubtless induce her to abandon the project . Tbe Cabinet of St . Petersburgh itselMs now opposed to the project , it is true that hitherto- Russia has confined herself to making a declaration to the Cabinets of Vienna and Berlin that the realisation of this plan does not seem to be desirable ; nevertheless , it is doubtless prepared to act with energy , If Austria should persevere ..

      France and England persist in their protests . Lord Cowley has written a second note to the President of the Diet ; in which he declares that the project is not national , but European . The Court-martial sitting at Prague has again published a series of condemnatory \ • diets / against the captives of the revolution of 184 S . Two of them , Messrs . Slad KowaKy and Worhoi , have been condemned to imprisonment and hard labour for terms of twenty and sixteen year * . The Courtmartial at Vienna has published verdicts against Ignaz Pick , John Riedler , and Joseph Glass , who have been convicted of tbe charges of riot and treason in October , 1818 . They have been condemned to imprisonment , with hard labour , for twelve and ten years , and eight months , respectively . PORTUGAL .

      The Oriental Company's steam packet Madrid , arrived at Southampton on Sunday last . In consequence of the cholera having appeared at Oran , and Melilla , the local boards of health at Malaga and Algeciras had threatened Gibraltar with quarantine ; but the matter having been referred to Madrid , it was expected to be more satisfactorily arranged . On running down between Cape Especbel and St . Vincent , ( on running over ten knots ) the Madrid struck a huge whale , attempting to cross her bows ; the shock was considerable , being distinctly felt all over tbe ship , causing much alarm . About fifty feet of him appeared above water , and the fish was evidently much injured by . the sharpness of the Madrid ' s , wou & tem .

      Advices from Lisbon , dated the 19 th inst , state that the sergeants implicated in attempting to raise the 5 th Cagadores , on the night of the 14 th ult ., had been set at liberty . This , doubtless , would be considered an unaccountable proceeding , after having acquainted onr readers that a court had been appointed to investigate their conduct . The fact is , that too much was proved before the court . It appears that , had the plan succeeded , the first colonel ( now a general ) , who seconded Saldanha ' s movement in April , wa ? to have put himself at the head of it ; rockets ( the usual signal ) were to have been fired from the castle , and a union of all the Cabralista battalions effected ; . in the meantime , Senhor JoseCabral ' s party were to have walked

      into the castle and sat themselves down at a table , and there assumed a title somewhat like ' a provisional government on behalf of the Queen . ' The thing / ailed , however . Upon the appointment of the court of investigation , shooting was talked of , and the press really began' to deprecate capital punishment ; but now neither shooting nor hanging are thought of , asjfSaldanha finds he cannot shoot his own second in command for doing that which he himself did , and therefore the general , now a baron , goes to Austria , Prance , Prussia , in fine to the various continental states , to study their military evolutions , upon an allowance of 200 milreis ( about £ 45 ) per month . The CabraUtea do not , however , consider themselves effectually foiled , but only retarded in their plan .

      AMERICA ; The British and North American royal mail steam ship Niagara arrived on Sunday last , bringing advices from New York to' the 13 th inst ., about seventy passengers , and £ 24 , 000 in specie . The news , is neither comprehensive nor important . Tlie steam ship Prometheus had arrived at New York from California , with fourteen days' later dates from that district . She brought over one million and a half dollars' g old dust ia specie , j Atthe mines lynch law was still being carried out , three men having been executed during the fortnight . The war between the whites and Indians had been recommenced near the Klamath River , and five persons had been killed .

      From Cuba there is later intelligence , but it is , as usual , most contradictory . All the private accounts from the i-Iaiid concur in representing the cause of the patriots as progressing most successfully , their numbers now amounting to 4 , 000 with four pieces of artillery ; but the official proclamations make light of the entice movement , and assert that it is almost put down . Skirmishes were of frequent occurrence * , and , if private sources of information are to be relied upon , they have hitherto resulted in favour of the insurgents .

      Several fugitive slaves have been arrested , and delivered up to their masters . INDIA . An insurrection has broken out in Cashmere . The Nizam , it is said , wilt bo compelled to give up a part of his territory to clear off the debt which he ovres to the Indian government . Great sickness prevails among the troops .

      CHINA . Advices from Hong Kong state that the insurrec tion is gaining ground .

      At the head of the list of Knights of the Legion of Honour , lately created by the President of the Republic , figures the widow Brulon , born in 1771 , at present an officer in the Invalides , where she has lived for the last fifty-two years , enjoying the esteem and veneration of her old companions in glory . The widow Bruion was the daughter , sister , and wife of military men , who died in active service in Vhoarmj of Italy . Her father served thirty-eight years without interruption , from 1757 to 1795 ; her two brothers were killed on the field of battle in Italy , and her husband died at Aiaccio

      in 1791 , after seven years service . 1 / 92 , at the age of twenty-one , she entered the 42 nd Regiment of Infantry , in which her husband died * and when her father still served , and made herself so remarkable by her honourable conduct , both as a womm and a soldier , that she was permitted to continue in the service notwithstanding her sex . She was attached to that regiment for seven years ( from 1792 to 1799 . ) and performed seven campaigns , under the nom de guerre of 'Liberie , ' as piriva'e soldier , corporal , sergeant , and sergeant-major . Oa several occasions , and particularly at the defence of the Fort of Gesco , in Corsica , and at the siege of Calvi , she fought with extraordinary courage .

      At the siege of CaVvi , she directetl the fire of a sixteen-pounder in one of the bastions , and was seriously wounded in the left leg by the bursting of a shell . This last wound rendering her incapable of continuing in the service , she was admitted , on the 24 ih Frimaire , year V 1 L , In the Hotel des Invalides . On tbe 2 ad of October , 1822 , she was promoted to the rank of Ensign . General Latour Maubourg announced her promotion in the following terms : — ' Madame Bvulon , militaire invalids , who held the rank of sergeant before entering tha Hotel , has obtained from : the kindness of the King the honorary rank of ensign . She will be recognised in that capacity on parade . The Governor hastens to make known this new favour , conferred by His Majesty on a person who has proved herself

      worthy of it by her excellent principles , her good sentiments , and the consideration she enjoys in tbe Hotel . ' The feats of courage and the irreproachable life of this extraordinary woman are attested by all the general officers under whose orders she served , and one of them , General Laeombe St . Michel , described her in a letter writkiion the 15 th Frimaire , year XIV ., to Marshal Serurier , then Governor of the Inval'das , 'as having rendered herselrworthy , by qualities above her sex , to participate in ths rewards reserved for the brave . ' MarshalJerome Bonaparte and General Randon concurred in that opinion , and their proposition in favour of the vvidow Brulon waa sanctioned by the President of the Republic .

      M . Garein , the director of the Messenger de I'AssemWec / has been sentenced by the police court of Paris to pay a fine of 500 f . for having published an article on the Bourse without a signature . A respectable individual , living on his private tot . tune , baa been arrested at Montrouge under the following circumstances , as it is reported : —He had been remarked for some time by the agents of the secret police as frequenting the public-houses in that neighbourhood , and whenever he saw nnv

      soldiers drinking entering into coiiversath n wish them , aud concluding by offering them motley u . engage in an association formed to proclaim " tbe Count de Chambord King of Fiance . On Saturday lie addressed himself i 0 two grenadiers of the 30 th regiment of the line , but they , in place of accepting his offers , forced him to accompany them to ihc Commissary o ( Police o ! the neighbourhood . The Commissary having heard the charge gent him under an escort to the Conciergerie .

      We learn from Hamburg that a private of tthe Austrian garrison , formerly an officer in the Hungarian armyi has committed .. 'suicide . Our corresporidentstates that cases of thiskind have frequently occurred in Hamburg , as well as in Kendsburg , ibut that in most cases the military authorities have succeeded in preventing publicity . ; The"following order , issued by the Great Chamberlain of Austria , Prince Lichtenstein , is a specimen of Austrian justice (!)—in explanation of which ; we must observe that . Professor Leopold Iansa , -dismissed from his place for having taken part in a concert for the Hungarian refugees in London , is a highly respected man , a distinguished artist , who

      never meddled with politics , and served in the : impsrial chapel full twenty-seven years : —Decree . — Whereas it has been ascertained that Leopold Iansa , violinist at the imperial royal chapel , has not only played in the concert which took place in London , the 12 th of July , for the benefit of the Hungarian refugees , but that he has likewise composed a jiuet on Hungarian melodies for that occasion , he is dismissed , by highest command , from his office as violinist arid as professor of the piano jand the violin of the imperial chapel ; moreover , he is no longer to receive ' any salary fromj the last of August . Issued from tbe High CliamberJain ' s office , 12 th of August , 1851 ;—Lichtenstein .

      We are informed that Countess BlancaTeledi , the sister of Madame Ge .-ando , has been sentenced b y court-martial , and condemned to eight years' imprisonment , for a political offence . It is not known what was the offence of the countess . This is another instance of tbe brutality of the Austrian government . It is well known that tailors are very troublesome , and apt to make themselves more conspievwus j , han their occupation , or their personal appearance , allows . These good or evil qualities have descended

      even to Uie apprentices . At a trial in Nurnberg last week , an apprentice to the thimble was to be examined as a witness . He refused to he sworn , and on being questioned as to the causa of his refusal , replied that an oath was unchristian , for the biblii says , ' Let your words be yes , yes , and no , ' , no * , * oaths , moreover , had lost all value since princes and kings had of late displayed such facility in breaking them . The court , however , declined to admit the reasoning of the witness , and as his speech was considered indecorous to the court and insulting to sovereign authority , he was arrested and sent to

      pn-. on . A man named Hunebelle , a workman at Montrouee , appeared on Thursday last before the Court of Assizes of the Seine , for crying out in the streets 1 Vive la Repuhlique Detnocratique et Sociale . ' He was condemned to four months' imprisonment . Another man , named Debrabant , a confectioner of the Faubourg Si . Martin , was tried for a similar oflvnee . It was proved that as the President of th

      Republic was returning to the Elysee the prisoner uttered the cry attributed to him , being joined in the same by a roan named Perrin , a journeyman tailor . In defence of Dabrabant , M . Desmarats argued that the cry in question was not more blaraeabk than that of ' "Vive l'Empereur / which was sometimes raised on the President ' s passage , 1 n ! without any one having been prosecuted for it . The Court , however , sentenced the two prisoners to nine months' imprisonment , and 300 ( fine .

      In a general order issued to the garrison of Erfurt , the soldiers have been prohibited from visiting those wine and beer shops in which the usual visitofs ' are of democratic principles . Every transgression of this order is to be punished by prolonged arrest , and as the democratic party generally frequent the same public houses , it will not be difficult to the prying police to detect offenders against this order . It is intended shortly to sendaPrench expedition into the Japan seas . It is said that it will consist of a frigate , a corvette , and a steamer , under the orders of a rear-admiral of great experience in the Pacific and the Chinese waters . The expedition will be at once military , commercial , and scientific ; its objects will be to re-open an European commerce which has been closed since tbe 16 ih

      century . Reduction of Rent . —Mrs . Bothfield , of Deckerhill Hall , Salop , at her last rent day , reduced tbe rent of all her tenantry twenty per cent . Rejhsskin op Rents . —On the Hawarden estate tho tenants of the Right Hon . W . E . Gladstone , M . P ., have been allowed a reduction of sixteen per cent , on their respective rentals for the half-year . Sir Richard Brooke , Bart ., of Norton Priory , has made a reduction of ten per cent .
