Bixio addressed to the government the interpellation of _whichhebadgirea notice relative fo the affairs of Rome . He begged to ask what _thegevemment proposed to do under present drcumstances , both with regard to Rome , which was a _focra of disorder , and to Milan , which waa in the gripe of foreign oppression . He pnt both questions , for the reason that he conside _^ d the questions of Rome and _Lombardy intimately connected-. General _Cavaibsac declared that with respect to the _AMtaJ-L-mibard question , the associations had been retarded on account of the lata events of which

      Vienna bad been the theatre . Aa to the affairs of R-aae , hs had to announce tbat the gc-renment had ordered the embarkation in fonr steam frigates of the brigade that was at Marseilles to take the troops to Civita Vecchia . Tbe object of the expedition was to ensure the personal safety of the Pope , or to protect his momentary retreat into France M , da _Conrcelles had been despatched as Minister _Exteaordinary , charged with the execution of this important enterprise . General Cavaignac added , that shoald there ba necessity for more trcop 3 they wculd be sent , hatha should say thatthe instructions to M . de Conrcelies are to the effect , that he is to observe the strictest neutrality with regard tothe political questions that distract the conntry . As it wonld be his dnty to take the sense of the Assembly en ths nature of those instructions , he asked to fix Thursday for the purpose .

      6 T 1 TE 0 ? PARIS . Paris may be said to be quiet and orderly daring ihe day , bnt when night sets in there commeccesa _garies of meetings , at which questions are discussed of a nature and in a manaer calculated to awaken the mot eerious apprehensions . In the banlieue , and in all the _towci in the neighbourhood of Paris , one-half of the troo ' -s quartered in thera are eon siantly held in marching and fighting order , so that in twelve houra reinforcements of 35 , 000 troops wonld arrive , and in twenty-four hoar * 50 . 000 , independently of departmental National Guards .

      On Friday evening there were attrouptments in the _Boulevards and in several otber places . Openair elob- were formed in different places , where the merits ofthe candidates for the Presidency were dis cussed with extraordinary violence , amidst odes of "Down with Cavaignac' 'Dawn with Napoleon , * ' Vive Napo ' eoa . ' and oheers for Barbes , _Haapail , & x At the Barriers de Fontaineo _' _eaa there was a collision between a party of the Garde Mobile and eome troops of tbe line and Republican Guards , in which five or six persons were wounded . The exasperation of the troops of the line against the Garde Mobile is daily inorea--iog .

      IBS BIB EXPCBUC . The meetings of the club of the Passage Montesquieu , where ultra-democratic _opinions are advocated , seem likely to become a centre of serious de xaporatie movement . A _Demic-atu and Socialist banquet was given on Frida 7 _bvthe proprietors of wine shops in the suburbs of Pari ? . This meeting , which was held at the Barriers da Roale , wis attended by at least seven hnndred , ' who paid two francs a head . Invitations had bees sent to all ths representatives of the people denominated _Monta-fiiards . and seven of them at tended—vis . MM . Ledru Rollin , Jely , Brives , Martin Bernard , _Diin , Fargin _Fayolle , aad Mule , A letter of apology was read from M . Lvgrange . The President , M . Lebreton _, proposed the first toast , * The abolition of Excise duties , * which was londly cheered . M . Ledru Rollin next rose , and spoke , as follows : —

      ( From the Daily Jews . ) We beg to call the attention of the government audits supporters in the London press , to the following letter , reoeived from onr correspondent in Vienna , and dated the 24 th ult .: — * Yesterday -naming a British subjeot was murdered by the military authorities . Mr Beoher , a gentleman of high _education , born at Manchester , was condemned to death on the 22 = 5 * 1 of November , in _"WTOequenoe of Borne campositions whioh he had written in his newspaper , the Radicals , at a time when Vienna enjoyed the foil liberty of the press , aod when he waa oaly answerable for his writings to a legal jury . Lord Ponsonby was informed ofthe judgment on the evening otthe 22 od . His protest against the execution of judgment was not respected by _Priaoe Windijehgra _* _a , who pretended to be asleep when it arrived at _Schoenbrann . Consequently Mr Becher was shot on the 23 rd , at 6 o ' clock inthe morning , in company with Dr Jellineck , who was the _subeditor of the same paper . '

      OPKRIKG OF TM AUSTRIAN DIET . Kbbmsieb , Nov . 22 . —Tha first sitting of tbe Diet has taken place . As nearly as possible the deputies were arranged as in Vienaa—the Poles and ultra-German party occupying the left , andthe Cz ; sohs the right , Tbe President and two Vice-Presidents were elected . The President is a Pole , the Vice-Presidents are a Moravian , and % German . The _Cseschs have been completely thrown ont . BETRAYAL OF THE PRUSSIAN PEOPLE BY THE FRANKFORT PARLIAMENT . On the 20 th an important ; vote was takea . The committee to whom the affairs of Prussia had been referred reported in favour of tho Mowing resolutions : —

      ' 1 . The National Assembly , in accordance with its _reeo ' atioa ofthe 14 th nit ., and in consideration of intermediate events , calls npon the Central Power to effectuate , by means ofthe imperial commissioners now in Berlin , the appointment of a ministry wbioh _posseESSs the confidence of the country . 2 . It expressly declares those resolutions of the fraction of the Assembly still remaining in Berlin , wbioh are so evidently illegal and dangerous to . the state , to be null and * void , namely , those relating to a refusal of tha taxes . 3 . It declares furthermore , that it is resolved to defend all rights and liberties that hare been conceded and promised , against every attempt that may be made to impair them . '

      After a strong debate thesa _resolntions wera carried . The Lett broke forth io an excess of clamour on the second point being decided . Tha President called thea to order . The cry of'Shame !' which they had _previously uttered , was again raised by individual members in defiance . Gigern demanded the names of the dissentient shooters , that they might be protocolled . No direct answer ensued , except from Vogt , who stepped forward and said , 'I did not call with the rest , bat if my name be wished for you may have it ! ' No reply from the President . The popularity of the Archduke is quite gone . The people are tired of the farce of a ' Central Power , ' and both Assembly and Government , it sterna likely , will soon drop to pieces .

      THE STRUGGLE IN PRUSSIA . CAM IT BB TRUE * A report is current in Berlin that the English Envoy has communicated to the King a private despatch from Lord Palmerston , wherein his lordship approves of the steps taken by the Crown , bo far as regards the point of right and legality , and wherein Lord Palmerston also recommends the Prussian Crown or Cabinet to adhere strictly and firmly , not to what may be termed its rights , but to the legeiand temperate exeention of these r ghts . _Bebub , Nov . 20 . —Addresses from municipalities and districts in support of the Assembly are arriving every honr ; the mere list of them would nearly fill a _oolamn .

      To day brings tbe arrival of the same deputation from Cologne , from the municipality of that city , whose demands forced frem the King the concessions of the fatal 1 fth of March . They now demand the immediate dismissal of the Brandenburg Ministry , or they cannot answer for the peaoe of the Rhine provinces , already excited by tbe execution of Robert Blum . The */ were to have their audience this afternoon . Silesia is described as beiog in a complete ferment . The Chief President of the province , Pinder , has published a proclamation , declaring his recognition of tha resolution of the Assembly relative to the _noa-pasment of taxes , and staUng if he is called on to act according to that resolution hs _ahall be prepared to do so . He hss communicated to the

      Ministry his opinion , that the vote was forced from the Chamber as the only defence possible against the unconstitutional measures ofthe Ministry : bnt any anarchical or republican attempts against publio order and the constitutional monarchy he will put down instantly—tbe solution of the question must be a _peacefufore . As a consequence of his letter it is understood he is dismissed from his office . The Judges of the Court of Appeal ( Appellations gericht ) have decided by a majority that they _canuet during the present state of the eity hear any cases of politieal prosecutions . The military auditor ? , who attend court-martials , and are equivalent to our judge-advocates , have also decidedly refused to exercise their functions in ease of civilians being brought

      before the military courts—they consider they are debarred from doing so by the law of 1816 * . Te meet the difficulty thus occasioned , General VVrangel has received orders to proceed in saoh oases according to the very simplest farm of trial known under military law ; in tact , ta adopt the form popularly known as a 'Dram-head Court martial , ' in whioh BO _evidesoe need be taken in writing . It is reported that General Wrangel has taken possession of several houses in positions that command the chief points for barricades , whioh conld be ocoupied instantly as military posts , ahd render the defence of those points impossible . Every building belonging to the government is converted into bar racks .

      XXC 1 TEMNT IN IHB BHESI 8 H PR 0 TIKC 8 S . Numerous placards , strongly in favour of the National Assembly , were posted in the main streets of Cologne on the 21 st ult : One of them contained an appeal to thelatdwehr , urging them to draw _thesword in support of the threatened liberties of the country . The chief editor of the Nsut RHsranoHB _Zsitdhb and Dr _Sohneider , the president of the _democratioal onion ( and who ia also a major in the oivie _gOald ) , we _» summoned before the judicial authorities on tho charge of bavins openly exoited the people torebel-Uon .

      form a free corps , oomposedof individuals not belong * ing to the civic guard or the Landwehr . Numbers ot persons were enrolled . On the 20 th the civio guard of DasseMorf and the Landwehr of the district forwarded energetic addressee to the National Assembly stating that they were prepared for theoontoetatttw call of that Assembly . The followiog is aa extract from the address of the civio goard : —* Ths time for passive _resistaece has gone by . We beseech the National Assembly to issue the cry , 'Te arms !' Cast your eyes on Vienna , and delay ao longer , or freedom is rained . ' Military measures have been heady taken in Boon to enforce the payment ef taxes .

      The intelligence from Dnsseldorf is highly important- Tho reeeiversef the tans on ionr and meat have de ** lar _^ that they wUl no longer exact them , and that they will merely keep an account of the SMfc _^ _^ _Rltf ? _*• millers » * oftne cattle slaughtered by the butchers . A more serians stop , however , has been taken in _tbeabave town , oae which will affect the German Customs Union in general . As the demand of a _deputation of the _oitfeens , the receivers ofthe Z : JIverein tax on eoods conveyed by _Rheniah vessels np the Rhine have not only refused to iemand those taxes , bnt have deolared tbat they would not voluntarily give up to their superiors the sums already in their possession , bnt

      will , when ordered to do so , csmmanicate the order to the civio guard , with the view of enabling the la ! ter to act as they may deem expedient . The head of the police has also deolared that he mil abide by the decision ofthe National Assembly , and will refuse to allow his men to aid in the seizure and sale of goods for the non-payment of taxes . Great nambits of eivie gttaals hai arrired in Dnsseldorf , from the neighbouring towns aud villages , and were all bnt -mammons in their determination to uphold the National Assembly . Those from Grafenbnrg oame in with two cannons . The burgomaster of _Dusseldorf and the commander of the civio gaards are warm partisans of tbe National Assembly .

At eleven o ' olook an immense multitude , composed of the populsce , the Civio Guard , some troops of the line , and carabineers , assembled in the _Piazzo delPopolo , and thence they proceeded to the Chamber of . Deputies to demand of them to insist upon the Pope ' s appointing a democratic Ministry , and that he should make the following eon * cessions : —1 , The recognition of Italian nationality ; 2 . The convocation of a Constituent Assembly , and the deliberation of a Federal Pact ; 3 That the deliberations of tho Oounoil ef the Deputies on the war of independence , shonld be carried into effect ; _i That the programme of Sienor Mamiani . published

The Deputies marched in procession with the mob to the Pope's palace . His Holiness replied , by Cardinal Saglia , that he would reflect . The populace , not being satisfied , sent the deputies forward a second time , to whom the Pope replied in person that he would not grant anything to violence In the meantime the Swiss and Papal Gaards drove baok the . people , who then rnshedon the sentinels and disarmed them , The Swiss then retreated into the interior of the palace , threatening to fire on the people and on the troops , who advanced without arms . The people then threatened to set . lire to the gates of the palace , when the Swiss fired on the mob , and a cry - _-f 'To your arms 1 * was instantly raised . At three o ' clock the gtneraU was beaten ; the troops and Oivie Guards assembled , and

      maintained a fire against the Swiss nntil five o ' clock . At six o ' clock the Quirinal was completely invested by 6 , 000 Civio G * _tard « ahd troops of the U * ie _, T . nd cannon were placed against the principal entrance . A deputation _wsb again sent to the Pope with the ulltmatum ofthe people , giving him an hour to return an answer , telling him in ease of refusaltbattha palace shoald be stormed and every soul in it except himself should ba pnt to death . The Pope finally sent for the Advocate Galletti _, to _' whom he announced that he consented to accept tha following Ministry : —Mamiani , Foreign Affairs ; Galletti , the Interior ; Lnnati , Finance ; Herbini , Commerce and Public Works ; Campello , the War Department ; Abbe Rosmini , Public Instruction , with the Presidency of the _Counoil ; Serini _, Juftioe .

The vast assemblage then moved on until it arrived at the Palace of tbe _Government when thousands of men

      oalled upon the Governor , Carlo Pigli . to show himself on flie terrace ; and on doing bo , he said , 'The Minister Rossi was not loved in Italy , but this wa * solely in consequence of his political principles .

      Vecchia . to cover and proteot his retreat , and to receive him on board for conveyance to any country to whioh the Pope might desire to proceed .

      DiA-MUflan Attiiot to Bran a Honse in thi Oirr .-Oa Satarday forenoon last , between tha hours of eleven and twelve , considerable alarm was caused in Eastohewp , City , by the sodden outbreak of two fires in the upper part of the extensive premises belonging to Messrs Knight and Foster , stationers , situate at No . 5 , in the before mentioned _thoroughfare , and , from what his already transpired , the Fire Brigade authorities bare returned both outbreaks as having been wilfully ocoasioned . It appears tbat the third floor ef the building was occupied conjointly by a Mr Edward Rea and Mrs Emily Joyce , and that a female-. . servant , did the household work for both patties . On Satarday forenoon the inmates were astonished at hearing a viry unusual noise in the

      house , and the servant was sent for to learn the oause . She returned almost immediately afterwards and exclaimed' the house is on fire , ' and left the premises . The engines ef the parish and London Brigade promptly attended , and on the firemen entering the third floor they found a chest of drawers and some _boxas ia the back room wrapped in a body of fire . They immediately set to work , and after some trouble , they were successful in getting the flames extinguished , when their attention was called to the front _rosm by seeing smoke poariBg forth from under tho doorway . Having opened the door , they found another box of olothes biasing away with tbe greatest impetuosity , that fire having also been subdued ! an examination was made to ascertain the cause , when

      Mr Braidwood saw quite sufficient to satisfy himeelf that they were two distinct fires , andhad been wilfully caused by some malfeious person . During the day tha servant girl was given into the custody of the police , and she was forthwith locked ap in Garlick Hill station-house .

Such oondaot Was highly calculated to excite an unfavonrable opinion as to the mode in

      which the moneys voted for their nse were disbursed . ( Hear . ) He therefore moved , 'That the commissioners be requested to furnish the auditors of tha pariah with an account of their receipts and disbursements .

      _Captubs of an Illicit DiaiiLMRT akb _ExtraohniNAKr Ef capb . —• On Saturday Jast a leisure of an iliicit distillery was made under rather peculiar _ciroumstanceo , by the officers of _Exgipe , assisted by the police . From _inform-ttion received , Mr Daniel Colquhoun ( Supervisor of the Stepney district ) , with Mr John Vansome and Mr Edward Thomas , officers of the same district , accompanied by police oonstable , 70 H , prooeeded to No . 52 , _Phceoix Street , Spitalfields . An examination of the exterior ofthe premises having been made , it was resolved that Mr Colquhoun and the police oonstable should guard the front of tho honse while Mr Vansome and Mr Thomas should endeavour to effeot an entrance at the baek . A passage separated Nos , 51 and IS . and

      having forced open a door which led to a large yard at ths back , they saw three men rash into it in great bftBte from No . 52 . Mr Thomas bavin- ; satisfied _ainuolf that a still was at full work on the premise * , oalled oat to Mr Vansome to secure the _gato , and thus prevent the men from escaping . Two ofthe men made their way to the gate , but found it fastened against them , while the other ran to a wall at the bottom of the yard , followed by Mr Vansome , up whioh he climbed with great dexterity , and woald have succeeded in completely clearing it bad nut Mr Vansome jumped up and seized him by the logs , nor could oaths or threats _induee him to relinquish hia hold until the arrival of the police , whom he called to his assistance . In the meantime , the

      other two men hadmg their retreat at tho back impeded , ran into the h . use , and irom thence to the top floor , pursued by Mr Thomas and a police-canstable . Tne men thus finding themselves so nearly in the hands of tbe officers , opened the window and t * ek really frightful leaps on to an adjoining wall , from thence on to some stablings , and , after passing over several other buildings , finally succeeded in making their escape . This daring and perilous explait excited the _ntmost astonishment . Tbe other man baring been secured ) the officers also gave a woman into cnBtody whom they found on the premises . They then prooeeded to search the honse , and found- in the baok room on the ground floor a copper still , at full work , running off strong spirits , eighty gallons of prepared spirits , upwsrdB oi 100 gallons of molasses fermented wash ready for distillation , a

      quantity of yeast , and the usual apparatus employed in this contraband trade . The still , utensils , and spirits were conreyed to the Exoise warehouse in Broad Street ; the wash was destroyed . The two prisoners captured gave the names William Hopkins and Ann Murdoch . When the male prisoner was being taken into oostody , he waa followed by some hundreds of the fraternity , and the _greatest praise is due to the police oonstable for his conduet , as several times a rush was made by the mob for the purpose of effecting a rescue , bnt a judicious use of the polioe constable ' s staff had the desired effect in preventing them from carrying it into execution . This capture , it is believed , will have the effect of breaking up a company of illicit distillers which , it appears , from books found on the premises , has' long existed in this neighbourhood , carrying on their trade to a great extent .

      Fin at _PsnroNYiiii . —Shortly after one o cloak OR Monday morning , the lower part of the house Of Mr Roe , grocer and tea-dealer , No . 1 , North Street , Pentonvilie , was discovered to be on fire by the police . The family were apprised of their dangerous position , and they effeoted their esoape over tbe roof to the honse of a neighbour . Messengers were sent _foreagines , and Mr Colt , the B distriot brigade foreman , with his men and an engine from Farringdon Street station , arrived ; as also several others of the West of England and County companies . From the nature of the Btock , the fira made sad havoc , but throogh the early assistance rendered , the low , though very extensive in amonnt , was confined to the lower part of the premises .

As soon as ths doors were opened the draught made She flames ascend with great fary , and the female Who _lodged jQ the second floor was unable to descend tbe _stairo 3 _se . The hatband ofthe latter , who had reached the Btreet _, anxious to save the life of his wife , rushed through the flames and gained the upper floor . In so . doing his clothing became ignited , and be was Bpeedily enveloped in fire . Finding all Other means of escape now cut off , he made for the baok window , and having ca'led to bis wife to throw herself out of the

      window , he jumped into the back yard . The poor fellow fell with a dreadful oraBh upon the stones , and was most dreadfully injured , The fire escapes with the engines of the London , West of England and Coanty establishments having arrived , the eon . dactor of the machine of the Royal Society for tbe protection of Life from Fire , got into the premises ,. and , with tbe aid of the firemen , succeeded in getting the unfortunate man out . He was removed to the hospital , where he expired almost the moment he entered the institution . Tbe whole of the engines were immediately , set to work , and , water bain * abundant , ths firemen worked incessantly , but withoot producing any effeot till nearly everything ia the building was destroyed . Ic was not until nearly three o ' _slook in tbe morning tbat the fire was wholly extinguished . As soon as possible , search was made

      for the unfortunate _iemale , who was known to * be in tho building . She was discovered , lying on her back , in the second floor ; life was extinct , bat the body was not burnt to any extent , so it is fuite clear that death was caused by suffocation , At _Nsffisaiox . —Whilst the firemen were engaged at the above fire , intelligence arrived ef another having oceurred in the neighbourhood of Newington Butts . As many of the engines as _ceald be spared were immediately despatched thither _,, where the firemen found the premises of Mrs Tar . rington . beer retailer , No . 4 , High Street , _Newini--ton , in flames . The inmates had fortunately succeeded in effecting a safe retreat from the blazing property . Numerous engines having been set to work , tbe fire was subdued , but not until the pieraises were partly consumed . The origin of these fires is not known .
