FSA 2 STCE . Tub Sv : s ? v ? ATCmT Violation op the Covstitctiox . —2 ' aris , Thursday . —The following protest of the minority against the suppression of clubs has received 150 signatures . — ' The first article of tr . e law against the clubs is a violation or the constitution . We have protested by our vote ; we have protested by abstaining ; and we persist in abstaining , because we will not have wry share in passing a law which is a flagrant violation of natu ral right and of the constitution . ' This protest was drawn up by the Abbe Lamennais .
The following is a copy of the article which appeared in the Peuple of Wednesoay , and for which the paper was seized : —* If the representatives have failed in their duty , the press , will not fail in its dutv ; the press will remember February , 1848 , and July , 1830 . The Constitution is violated ! The undersigned , editors of the Peuple , consequently propose that an invitation shall be addressed to all the representatives of the people who persisted in abstaining from voting on the bill on clubs ; to all ihe editors of the republican press ; to all the presidents and secretaries of elubs ; to all members of
electoral committees , and all citizens who may wish to take part in this solemn protest , to unite on the day on which the law on the clubs shall be proclaimed , and immediatelyprovide the means of organising resistance to arbitrary power . For this purpose a club shall be opened under the provisions of the law of 28 th July , 1848 . The place , day and hour of meeting , the names of presidents , vicepresidents , and secretaries , shall be announced in advance by the journals . The citizens who desire to belong to the club must present themselves without arms ; any armed demonstration will be severely interdicted . It is not a battle which we have to
give to the government , cutres temps au ( res mceurs-The people act politically in . these days—they no longer fig ht . It is an act of legal resistance which has to be accomplished . The club , therefore , will await the summonses of the canimissaries of police it will respond to those summonses by invoking the text of the law and the constitution , and will only cede after three times repeating its protest force The attentat accomplished , the citizens should withdraw , and prepare between themselves other means
of resistance . These means will be the following : —1 . Refusal of the taxes . 2 ; Refusal of Military service- 3 . Refusal to obey citations and judgments of courts and tribunals , all summonses of business , requisitions of the public prosecutor , warrants of examining magistrates , commissions of agents of judicial authority . 4 . Refusal - of obedience to all the decrees and ordinances emanating from the central government . ' Le Peuple was again seized on Friday .
The Democratic Association of the friends of the Constitution have signed the following protest against the bill relative to the clubs : — ' Considering that in a free country the ri g ht of association is iaalienable and imprescriptible , that tins sacred right is guaranteed by the 8 th article of the Constitution . Ihat the project of law against clubs presented by the Ministry is an attempt against that right , we protest with energy against : that violation of the Constitution , and we hope that the representatives of the people will reject the project of law . —Buchez , President ; Jkbellonge , Grevy , Degoaee , and Deo * Biuret , Vice-Presidents . '
La Beforme contains the following declaration : —* The first article of the project of law a » ainst tbe clubs violates the 8 th article of the Constitution . It is a direct attempt against the right of meeting and association , and an attack against the Republic . The representatives who have abstained performed their duty , and are entreated to persevere . The Democratic press and the people are with them against the enemies of the Constitution , who are also those of public prosperity . The people will remain calm , and await . ' The above is signed by the editors of the ' Reforme , ' ' Democratic Pacifique / ' Republique , ' ' Peuple , * Revolution Democratique et Sociale / 'Populaire , ' and Travail Affranchi . '
Paris , Sunday . —The Assembly , after post hour last evening , brought to a close the debate of the law on the clubs , which was finally adopted . The third and conclusive reading will take place after five clear days . By this law clubs are interdicted , but public meetings for the discussion of political subjects which have not the character imputed to clubs by the present law will be permitted . According to the present law , a club is an organised body having a president , vice-presidents , and secretaries , the meetings of which are periodical and public , and the debates of which extend to any and all political questions which its members may from time to time propose . The meetings which this law
permits , if the society he public , must not be periodical , nor must the society be permanently organisad . In z word , the intention of the law is to tolerate occasional public meetings , which may be convoked for especial purposes , which purposes must be dul y announced and previously notified to tbe police . But the law also permits the -flisteliOg £ , { s « S 8 Ci £ tifes regularly organised , with periodical meetings ; the public not to be admitted , but the number of members of the association to be unlimited . These societies may discuss political subjects . They must , however , notify their organisation , presidents , secretaries , & c , to the police , the agent of which may be present .
It is contended that this law will have no other effect than to abolish the name of « club . ' The clubs will still exist as private societies . The purposes of agitation will be accomplished partly by the publication of their proceedings , but more by their power under the first part of the law of declaring their meetings public , whenever it suits their purpose to do so . Being private societies in general , they will become from time to time public meetings , and thns attain all the objects , and accomplish all the mischief imputed to the clubs . — Daily News . Excited State of Paeis . —On Saturday afternoon and evening attroupemenis were collected iu various quarters . The town was patrolled by strong detachments both of cavalry and infantry during the sight .
Paris , Sunday Evening . —To-day a great number of troops are under arms , and there are some fears of disturbance ; but the snow , which has been falling all day , will probably cool the courage of any persons who may he inclined to disturb the public peace . —Morning Chronicle . The Cholera . —M . Blin de Boudon , representative ofthe people , a Legitimist in politics , and a most devoted adherent of Henry "V ., died a few days ago , of cholera . The Tyrants Defeated . —Le Peuple Souverain of Lyons , which was prosecuted by the Attorney-General for an article containing an attack on Marshal Bugeaud , has been acquitted .
The Socialists and their Organ . —The journal of Al . Proudhon is now regularly seized every day . The apostle of Socialism declares that he will persevere , and that , in the end , this proceeding , instead of damaging himself , will ruin the government . ' The Socialists / writes the Times correspondent , ' continue unwearied aud undismayed in their exertions to seduce the army ; and I have some reason to believe that the government will soon be obliged to adopt still more energetic measures than heretofore to put a stop to the spread of the
pestilence , at least , so far as the army is concerned . I am assured that , for some weeks past , Mi Froud « hon ' s journal , Le Peuple , has been circulated at the rate of from 30 , 000 to 40 , 000 numbers daily , and that means of every kind are used to ensure their delivery in the barracks of the principal cities of France . Where the funds are procured to defray the expenses of so large a supply of that noxious drug , it is difficult to say , but the fact is so . Socialist agents , disguised as servants , commis-toya . geurs , & c , labour earnestly in the mission . '
The June Iksubsection —A . woman named Leblanc was tried by court-martial in Paris , on Tuesday , for having taken an active part in aid of the insurgents of June . She was sentenced to hard labour for ten years . Spread of Socialism in the Army . —A private soldier named Claverie , of the 9 th Regiment of Light Infantry , was arrested on Saturday night , whilst on guard at the War Office . He was lodged in the military prison of the Abbaye . He is charged with having publicly avowed himself a Socialist . Two sergeants of tbe 26 th regiment of the line were also arretted ia Paris on the same day charged with a similar offence . Fifty-five artillery men were arrested this morning for having expressed opinions Of thesamekind . They are to be sent to Algeria .
THE TRIAL OF THE REPUBLICAN CHIEFS . Bourses , Mabch 21 , —After the « aminatioti of several witnesses , a M . Hutteau d'Origny gave evidence , and in the course of his statement said , he perfectly remembered hearing a man standing ^ ear to Barbes , demand ' two hours' pillage of Paris . * This remark again brought the prisoner Barbes to his feet , to protest energetically againjt the asser-

tion . He said it was most extraordinary , seting that tbe representatives who had given their evidence bad positively d-rclared their having beard nothing of it . The witness rrpealed in the most positive manner that he heard the words . Barbes : Was the cry uttered by more thnn one person ? Witiirs * : I onlv beard it from one . Barbes : M . Bnchiz lias declared ibat be hrard nothing of it . Witness ; M . Bucbez , perhaps , did not bear what we were saying to him . Barbes : And why not ? Witness : You will excuse my replying to that question . Barbes The deposition of the witness appears very extraordinary , and has some analogy to that given by tbe representative Point relative to my friend Raspail .
It is more than ten months that the examination has been going on , and yet it is at this audience , for the first time , that a fact has been asserted against which we must protest . President : M . Poin did not depose before tbe examining magistrate . Barbes : It is important to remark that the words said to have been uttered in the presence of the witness were not heard by several of the representatives nor by the short-band writers . President Prisoner Barbes , I do not understand why yeu attach so much importance to these words . It is evident that you are not responsible for the 100 , 000 men who composed the manifestation . Barb es Your remark , M . Ie President , is very just .
Raspail : But we do not wish the name of Frenchman to be sullied by such an aspersion . President : But you could not prevent the cry of a violent and senseless man . Raspail '• We are perfectly convinced of that ; and it was therefore unnecessary to have inserted the woiffs in the indictment , which has received immense publicity . Procureur-General : It was inserted in the indictment because we found it m the Moniteur . Witness said that he was positive as to the fact . He had mentioned it to several persons , and , among the wst , to M . Thenon . M . Thenon was- recalled , and- confirmed the / act of the words having been mentioned to him . Barbes : It is clearly proved that I did not make use of the
words . My fellow-prisoner , Raspail , has done right in saying that the Republican party is not responsible for the expresion . Procureur-General : We cannot allow any remarks about distinction of parties to be used here , nor any allusions as to whether it was Republicans who attacked the Assembly or who defended it . It was , on the contrary , tbe true Republicans who opposed those engaged in the mad . testation . BIar . qui : ( with great warmth ) The true Republicans are these who risked their liberty and their lives to establish the Republic . Procureur-General : And who wished to overthrow it when it was established ! Blanqui : ( continuing ) Whilst our adversaries , who have always opposed it , are
those who , are now desirous to overthrow it , Procureur-General : No . Blanqui : No ! That is mere hypocrisy ! M . Demohty . a representative ofthe people , deposed that be had heard Louis Blanc deliver a speech the object of which was to calm the irritation of the people . He could not recollect tbe exact words he made use of , but the speech coneluded with "Withdraw ; do not violate your proper sovereignty . " Barbes afterwards rpoke , but he could only distinguish the word " Withdraw . " A young man had used threatening language towards
Barbes , and had handed him bis card . He heard Raspail read tbe Polish petition . One cf the representatives wished to prevent him , but others exclaimed , « 'You are imprudent ; allow him to do it . " The last words he beard Raspail utter were , " Withdraw , or I shall say you are bad citizens , bad Republicans . ' ' Witness afterwards heard Blanqui speak ; his address was not at all of a pacific character ; it was rather calculated to irritate the minds of the people against the rich . Witness heard a person , who , he was told , was Hubcr , pronounce the dissolution of the Chamber . Witness did not
know anything of him further than having learnt his name . — - M . Ginoux deposed , that be was at the Assembly after its dissolution had been pronounced by Huber . At that time tbe Chamber was nearly filled with National Guards and Gardes Mobiles General Courlais was standing on a bench , endeavour ing to make himself heard . The general ' s efforts met with the greatest opposition , bat witness heard him say , Iu the name of people , I command the National Guard to leave the Assembly . " The witness added that it was he who disarmed the general , exclaiming , "This is the sword of a traitor . ' '—General Courtais : Wretch ! — Tbe
President : Prisoner , you cannot be allowed to insult a witness . —Barbes : The exclamation of the general was but the expression of a natural indignation . — The President , addressing Barbes : Your observation was uncalled for . — General Courtais : I am an old soldier , M . le President , and it is only natural that I should feel indignant at such an exclamation . —President : Prisoner Cuurtais , you must retract the offensive word you have made use of towards the witness . —General Courtais : I retract all that may impede the progress of the proceedings . — M . de Fitzjames heard General Courtais request th < j National Guard to retire , as the Assembly could ^ lot deliberate during their presence . An outburst of
indignation then took place . The general was accused of treason , and many of . the National Guards rushed upon the general . Fearing that some violence would be done to his person , the witness sprang firward to protect him . The general was afterwards withdrawn from the Assembly by his aide-de-camp , but finding obstacles opposed to his egress , the general returned , and bravely faced those who threatened him—General Courtais : The witness has forgotten to mention one circumstance ) which was that the witness had received a bayonet wound while he was defending him . — M . de Fitzjames : I only did my duty , and what you would have done had you been similarly placed . —M .
Gazotte de Monfleury , governor of the Palais National , was next examined . He deposed that the prisoner Vilain , the president of a club called 'Droits del'Homme , ' had applied to him on the part of Caussidiere , bringing a letter from that person , begging the witness to give them a room to assemble in . but he bad refused , without au order from the Minister of Public Works . Vilain had afterwards received permission to have a bed in the Palais National , with seven other persons . Sobrier had , after some time , applied to have a room there for a club , but witness had refused him . Sobtier and bis club , however , took forcible possession of a room , and he ( witness ) wrote to the Minister oi
Public Works on the subject , but received no answer . Clubs , presided over by Barbes and Huber , had also held sittings there . Huber ' s was the Club des Clabs , and always had guards at their door , with orders not to allow any strangers to enter . Witness could not say » from his own knowledge , that cartridges were made in the Club Huber , but it was generally reported in the Palais that such was the case . The proceedings on the 22 nd were not important . March 23 rd . —After the evidence of M . de Tracy , Minister of Marine , Colonel Bourdon , and Colonel Dalapras , M . Guinard , formerly chief of the staff of the National Guard , declared that be considered tbe orders given on that occasion sufficient . Guinard ' s evidence was favourable to the prisoner Vilain , and
also to Barbes . The latter interrupted him by crying out , ' Man ami , I make no defence . Do not , therefore , I pray you , speak of my name . ' To which the other replied , ? You may rely on it . I will say nothing to wound your noble heart . '—Clement Thomas , ex-Colonel of the 2 nd , and Forestier , Colonel of the 6 th Legion , also deposed to the same effect . —Madame Darrontez deposed , that she was in the habit of attending Blanqui ' s Club , and on the 13 tb heard the manifestation freely discussed there . Blanqui was moderate in his language , and expressed himself as opposed to the manifestation . —The prisoner Raspail complained that the imprudence of Huber in dissolving the assembly had compromised their sacred cause . —Several other witnesses were called , but their evidence was not of much importance .
March 24 th . —Nearly the whole of the witnesses gave their evidence in favour of General Courtais , accused of having facilitated the entrance of the National Assembly to the rioters on the 15 th of May . Monday , March 2 fi . —The proceedings were interesting , owing to the examination of MM . Gamier Pages , Marie , and Pagnerre , members of the Provisional Government . Their evidence was rather favourable to the prisoner General Courtais , of whom they expressed a high opinion . Three colonels of the National Guard declared that they had considered his instructions on the night of the
14 th sufficient , without waiting for further orders The proceedings were also interrupted by Blanqui , Barbes , and Sobrier . The list of witnesses was exhausted at half-past one o ' clock . The proceedings were suspended , aud resumed at two o ' clock , when the Procureur . General commenced the recapitulation of the evidence . A man in the gallery , who insulted the Procureur in the course of his address , was condemned to twenty-four hours' imprisonment . The prisoner Degre paid no attention to the proceedings ; he was , as usual , employed in sketching portraits . Tho Court adjourned at six o ' clock , Tuesday , March 27 . —The Advocate-Genera

commenced his address to the jury at lloiu > es yestrrday at eleven o'clock , anil concluded at haK-pttoi two o ' clock . —M . Chfinivierts also addressed the ju .-v on the part of the prosecution , at three o'clock . The latter named person commented with much severity on the conduct of General Courtais on the 15 th of May . The Court adjourned at seven o clock .
GERMANY . Rejection of Wejlcker ' s Motion . —Resignation of the Von Gagkrn Ministry . —In tin ; sitting of the Frankfort Parliament of the 21 st hist ., the adjourned debate on M . Welcker ' s motion , to appoint the King of Piussia hereditary Erapemr of Germany , was continued ; and alter MM . Romer and Schuler had addressed the House in opposition to M . Welcker ' s motion , the House divided on the amendment proposed by the minority of the committee , viz ., —that the House should pass from M . Welcker ' s molion and proceed to the order of the day ; and the numbers were found to be—for the amendment , 267 ; aeainst it , 277 . —The House divided next on the motion of the committee in favour of M . Welcker's proposal , and this motion was rejected hy a
majority of thirty votes ; the numbers being—for the motion 252 , against it 282 . Thft House received this result at first with silence , which was , however , soon broken by expressions of triumph and disappointment from the adverse parties , and the latter part of this all-important debate , which was to decide the weal and woe of the vast German country , was stormy beyond all expression . How it came that M . W elcker's motion was thrown out is even now . a riddle to the very men who voted against it , and the only fact which can in a manner exp ' ain the mystery is the increased number of Austrian members that took their seats in the parliament while the question was pending . No less than 110 Austrians voted in the division , only eighty Of whom had formerly sat in St . Paul ' s Church .
We learn from the Frankfort papers that immediately after tbe vote of the parliament against M . Welcker ' s motion the Ministers of the Empire sent in their resignation to the Regent . VIENNA . —Three of the so-called « murderers ' of Count Latour were hanged on Saturday morn , ing last , on the glacis between the- •• ' Schotien' and ' Neu' city gates . The crowd was , as may ba supposed , immense , but not the least disturbance took place . Two others have been sentenced to twenty years' hard labour . A summary account of the evidence produced against these five criminals , as also their confessions before the tribunal , have been published in the official paper .
THE WAR IN HUNGARY . The Novine , an Angratu paper , under date ot the 15 th , states that the Servians had just given battle to the Imperialists at Halzfeld , in the Banat , because the latter wanted to dissolve voluntarily the Servian national committee there . A report is added that the Magyars had got possession of Hermannsraut , and that the Russian and Austrian army had retreated . Further , that the Hungarian war was taking a turn still more disastrous against the Austrians , and that the younger son of Windischgratz had been taken prisoner by the Magyars . A crisis was Inevitable in the South-Sclavonian districts .
Jellachich sustained a defeat on the 10 th . He tried to drive the Magyars from Szolnok , but he was driven back with considerable loss both of men and guns . The Hungarian general Perczel had entered Pentele , about thirty English miles from Ofen , on the right bank of the Danube , at the head of 10 , 000 men ; 400 imperial soldiers were driven out of Fold , var , on the Danube , by the village peasantry . The operations on the left bank go on very slowly ; and it seems that the main corps of the Hungarian army is on the point of being transferred to the right bank . To spare Pesth from a bombardment , the main attack will be made on Ofen , after the capture of which that of Pesth must follow . Jellachich had suffered another defeat at Jassbering .
THE WAR IN ITALY . The Piedmoniese Gazette , of tbe 17 th inst ., publishes a degree of Prince Eucene de Savoie Carginon , ordering a levy , en masse , of all the able-bodied citizens of all the Lorabardo-Venetian provinces , from ei g hteen to forty years of age . A bulletin was published at Turin , on the 21 st , by the Minister of the Interior , announcing the passage ofthe Ticino and the march ofthe Piedmontese
array into Lorabardy . The head-quarters of the King were at Trecate , a small town riii ihe Fieri montese bank of the Ticino , gl . os ' e to the road leading from Novara to Milan . It was by the bridge upon this road , l » iuiiig to Btiftalora , that the army crossed the . river . The passage was unopposed , the Austrians having retired fiom that point . The road to ^ ilan was re ported to have been crowded with the Austrians and their baggage and ' ammunition in full retreat .
Advices had been received from Vogfeera of an attack made b y the Austrians upon the Piedmontese , who defended the bridge of Mezzana-Cortc , near Pavia . The Austrians were repulsed , after which the Piedmontese partially destroyed the bridge . This news was received by telegraph from Alexandria on the 21 st . The Austrians are said to have evacuated Pavia , and retired on Lodi , where Radetzsky was concentrating his army , with the intention of giving battle to the Piedmontese , in the hope that a victory would open to him the road to Turin . The Ruffian Radetski . — The « Milan Gazette' ofthe 15 th inst . announces that an individual , named Legati , ia whose house arms and ammunition were found concealed , had been sentenced to death and executed .
The « Milan Gazette' publishes two proclamations ofRadetski , dated the 17 th , one addressed to the inhabitants of Milan the other to those of the Lornbatdo-Venetian kingdom at large . In the former , Radetski informs tbe Milanese that he leaves the city to carry the war upon the enemy ' s territory ; but to tranquillise the pacific inhabitants , he informs them that he leaves a sufficient garrison and a well provided citadel . He hopes that Milan will remain quiet ; a second army being ready to fight for the
rights of his sovereign . They have , he says , already felt the consequence ' s of rebellion , but let them beware of a second attempt ; the punishment would not fail to follow speedily and unrelentingly ; for he is strong enough to crush every internal enemy , and to fight the external one . The second proclamation is nearly of the same tenor ; he warns the inhabitants of Lombardy and Venice not to give ear to the perverse party , which only awaits the resumption of hostilities to excite new disorders . Let them
recollect bis moderation in victory ; let them not force him to show them his strength ; punishment would fall quick as lightning upon every province , town , or commune that would dare to harass the rear of his army . The emperor offers them liberal institutions . Let them not , blinded by fanaticism , reject them . Let them cast a glance upon unfortunate Rome and Tuscany , and see the consequences of a powerful government . The' Gazette' of Genoa , of the 20 th inst . says :-' Letters from Milan say that Radetski , after having despoiled the churches and pillaged the public funds , has imposed a contribution of two millions on the city , to be paid in twenty-four hours . '
Two Battles . —A letter from Vercelli of the 22 nd , 3 o ' clock a . m ., states , on the faith of persons coming from the Lomellina , that on the 21 st two engagements took place at the same time : one in the vicinity of Vigevano , the other in that of Mortara . In the forme / the Piedmontese had been the victors , and made 1 , 500 prisoners in the latter , which lasted till it was quite dark , the Piedmontese had been obliged to retire . A letter from Turin of the 23 rd contains an official bulletin , published on the morning of that day at Turin , by the Minister of tbe Interior . It appears that the first of these affairs took place near
Galasco and Gambolo , two villages about half-way between Mortara and the river . In these affairs the Piedmontese troops are reported as having sustained the attack without giving way , although no success is claimed for them . In the evening , about sunset , another engagement took place near to Mortara , from which the advance of the Austrians may be inferred . The report of the result of this confirms the intelligence we announced yesterday . The Piedmontese were forced to retreat , and the Austrians occupied Mortara . The head quarters of the King were removed from Treeato to Norara , where they were established on the 23 rd .
Further despatches dated Turin , the evening of the 23 rd , add but little that is important . They say advices received from the camp state , that the divisions of the Duke of Genoa and General Bes had fallen on the enemy and beaten him , making a great number of prisoners . This news is confirmed by a letter arrived by way of Verceh , and dated to-day , wherein it is said that the Austrians have been beaten at two points . Other advices say news received at Locarno state that at Pavia torrents of blood have flowed . Rumoured Insurrection m Mh , ak . —A letter
From Switzerland Gives As Positive The N...
from Switzerland gives as positive the news of an insurrection having broken out at Milan on lbs 21 st ; but , as tho Austrians had cut off the communications , the dctiils are not known . On Tuesday morning the French Government n > . ctived a telegraphic despatch , announcing that the Austrians , on the 23 ( 1 came again in collision with the army of Charles Albert , and gained a second and more comp lete victory . It is imported that the same day ( Tuesday last , ) a courier was despatched for Turin , to M . Bois-lc-Comte , the French Minister at that Court , with instructions to him to proceed . a once to the camp of Charles Albert , and to . endea . vour to convince that Monarch of the absolute necessity of pu tting an end to the struggle .
The Venetian Republic—The Concordia of Turin of the 22 d , contains intelligence from Venice up to the 15 th . On that day Vice-President Minotto read a message from President Matun , proroguing the Assembly for a fortnight . The Vice-President added that explanations would be given at the expiration of a fortnig ht . The Assembly separated , crying , War for ever ! ' All the officers of the land and sea forces are ordered immediately to their respective posts , and the civic mobilised guard is to hold itself ready to second the operations of the rest of the army . The Austrians are retiring from the environs of Mestre and Malghera .
THE TUSCAN REPUBLIC—The electoral ope rations commenced on the 12 th , and , according to the ' Constituente Italiana , ' were carried on with the greatest order and decorum ; A few days before the government had reviewed the National Guard of Florence , on which occasion Signor Guerazzi made a speech , exposing the falsehood of the scandalous assertions ol tbe foreign retrograde press . The military replied with repeated cries of' Evviva la Republica ! ' and ' Unione a Roma !' The Tuscan , government published a decree on the 16 th , levying a forced loan upon rich capitalists . Au income exceeding 1 , 000 sciidi ( 5 , 70 flf . ) shall pay fourteen per cent ., and so in proportion up to fifty per cent , upon incomes above 10 000 scudi A letter from'Florence of the 20 th states that
preparations for war are going oh with the greatest activity , The Provisional Government has decreed the immediate organisa'ion of a Polish legion of 2 , 000 men . The colours of this corps will be the Tuscan flag , with the white eagle of Poland . NAPLES AND SICILY .-The Hellespont , whieh left Palermo on the 15 th , brought the intelligence of the definitive rupture of the negotiations opened between the Sicilian government and the > French and English admirals . Preparations ^ vrere making for a vigorous resistance to the troops of Ferdinand . At the sitting of the chamber . on the 9 th a levy en masse ot all the citizens capable of bearing arras ivas ordered . The French and English admirals with their suites were present . The greatest enthusiasm was reported to prevail among the population . THE ROMAN REPUBLIC—The correspond ; nt
of the Daily News writing concerning the threatened Spanish invasion of the Roman States says : — If Queen Isabella expects to conquer this territory single-handed ( as I learn to be the project of the Times ) , she may as well try to subjugate her father ' s colonies of Chili and Peru or Mexico . Not a Spaniard who se ; s foot on this coast has a chance at return . The Daily News correspondent writes , on the 14 tb , that Garibaldi , who , to the frantic terror cf Ferdinand , is hovering over his frontier , has just put forth a proclamation , so violent as to cause the
Roman Executive to leave the responsibility of it to the great condottiere , and hold themselves unaccountable . He is clamorous to he allowed , with a detachment of 3 , 000 picked men , to raise a rebellion in the Ahruzzi , which is quite ripe for insurrection ; and talks of regulating the terms of ' intervention ' at the gate of Naples . In point of fact , the earthworks thrown up , and the hurried barricades on all the roads leading northwards , show that the Neapolitan Tiberius is more apprehensive of an aggression , than intent on attack .
CANADA . Political Excitement . — A great uproar has been raised in Canada by the introduction of a measure into the Legislature , on the part of the Executive Government , for indemnifying those inhabitants of Lower Canada who were sufferers by the rebellion of 1837-8 . It was proposed to grant the sum of £ 100 , 000 out of the revenue of the United Pro vince , for the losses of all sufferers who had not actually been t ' onv \ c : ed oi n ' je ' iuon ; a > . \& lhc ptfcefe uent of the compensation already granted to the sufferers by the rebellion in Upper Canada was relied on in justification of the measure . The opposition was huaded by Sir Allen M'Nab and Mr . Sherwood
and substantially rested on two grounds : it was assumed that the compensation was to be partly received by notorious , though unconvicted rebels , for the losses they themselves had catts-d by rebellion j and the charge was laid upon the provincial revenues ; whereas , the compensation of the Upper Canadian claims had been laid on district revenues . The supporters of the measure replied , that the Upper Canadian measure had been resisted by the then opposition , on the express ground that the Lower Canadian losses were not then also compensated ,
and it was agreed to only when the claims of the latter were recognised ; that , in fact , the measure is only the carrying out of the proposals of the M .. tcalf Government ; and that the class of persons to be compensated are described by the same terms used in the Upper Canadian Claims Act : they answer the objection as to charging the provincial revenue , hv calculations showing that the appointment ofrelative charges at the union ofthe provinces was unequal , and such as to justify the imposition of thii charge on provincial resources , as a set-off . The measure was debated with extreme heat in the
House of Assembly ; scenes even of personal conflict on one occasion rendering an adjournment imperative . Resolutions were passed by a majority of fifty-nine to twenty . Meetings of the Loyalists were held in all directions , and tbe moft infuriate language was used . Sir Allan MNab , addressing a mob at Montreal , who wreaked the r vengeance on the proposer of the measure , M . Lafoutaine , the head of Lord Elgin's Administration , by burnine him in effigy , said : —* If the measure were forced upon the country , it would be a question for the people of Upper Canada to consider whether it would not he better for them to be governed by the people on the other side of tbe river , than by a French Canadian majority .
