FRANCE . ANOTnSR 'scene ' in the f _^ _- J " Wednesday , in the course of the debate oa the proposition of M . Fouqmer a'HerueV relative to electoral circumscrip tions , a member of the _Me-nntain named Miot having addreseed the Assembly « s Citizen democrats , "Right clamorously ( expostulated . M . ' Miot asked , 'Do you prefer being called . citizen royalists ? ' ( _Liud murmurs on the "Right ) The President : * By _dividing the Assembly int _? two parties and opposing one half to the other , jou " disturb order , and I call yon to order * * I am _consistent' retorted M . Miot . ' . Be polite Sir , ' replied the President , * and do not . insult your colleagues . *
M . Miot , then unfolding a paper , proceeded to read his speech amidst the noise Of the A bly . Hesaid that the bourgeois , the nobles , and •* _" " priests formerly monopolised all the political rights , nnder the pretext of not taking away the people from their labours . Tbe latter bad shewn themselves worthy of those rights , and , disregarding distances , repaired to the elections , singing the _Mor seHatie . ( Laughter on the right . ) M _. Miot : * Tou think the people have no poetry in their hearts . They have more than you , Materialists i' ( Murmurs . )
M . Miot then continued to impute to the Right ill sorts of intrigues for the purpose of rendering the "Republic odious to the people , and overturning it . " The President at last recommended bim to speak with more moderation , when he turned round and vehemently apostrophised him . The President then observed tbat M . Miot bad not only outraged tbe Assembly—that -, he had braved and disregarded the authority of its President , ' and consequently incurred the penalties enacted by the 119 th article of the statutes . lie accordingly proposed that M . Miot be called to order , with censure . _^ * Why not command" my arrest ? ' exclaimed M . Miot . I wili fulfil my duty to the end , ' replied M . Damn .
The Assembly , in compliance with the suggestion of the President , decided tbat M . Miot should be called to order , with censure . ' Another article of the statutes , ' continued M * Dupin , ' provides that any member wbo has abused the tribune may he prevented from speaking . ' _TheAsssmhly , on being consulted , resolved tbat If . Miot should not be permitted to conclude his
speech . M . Dapin having requested M . Miot fo quit the tribune , the latter turned round and said , 'If I continued , what would yon do . The majority rose in a mass burling shouts ol wrath at M . Miot , who was as warmly defended by tbe Left . At length the president put on his hat , M . Miot on the request of his friends decended from the tribunal and the incident terminated . Christmas bas been celebrated hy the Socialists by a series ef banquets on a small scale , M . Proudhon _notwithstanding bis being a prisoner at St . Pelagie , attended a dinner given at Charenton b y the * taffand compositors of the ' Voix du Peuple ' Count d'Altcn Shee also attended , as a friend of M . Proudhon ' s . It appears thatM . Proudhon isfre quently allowed out of his _tirison to attend to his private affairs . —AJorning Chronicle .
A weekly paper , to be called the ' Message , ' is about to appear under the auspices of the Elysee-M . Brifault is to be the editor , and it is supposed tbat tbe President will be an occasional contributor . M . Rieger , chief of the Czech party in the last Austrian chamber , and who during the revolntion at Vienna retired to Prague _with his colleagues , has been arrested in Paris by two officials of M . Carlier . The general in command of the department of the
Aia has just suspended from his functions M . Lecot , first deputy of the Mayor of _Nantua . The cause of this act was the conduct of M . Lecot during a late attempt at disturbance in the town , when some socialists paraded the streets , crying out , * Vive Ledru-Rollin ! We must have Ledru-Rollm ! ' The authorities had given orders to have the persons so offind ' ng arrested , when M . Lecot gave them notice of what was intended , and they were able to

To-day no letters or papers have reached Paris from Italy , Spain , or England , and several of the German mails are missing . The . streets of Paris are atill covered with snow , and there is every appearance of an additional fall . More Cruelty-. — A letter from _L'Orient ofthe
26 th nit ., states that" 20 _* J" * 6 f the most mutinous of the insurgents of June detained at Belle Isle , are to be placed on board pontoons in the roads of L'Orient . The brig of war Panthere had sailed for Belle Isle to receive them . Ssrious disturbances broke out last week at the Military School of La F ' ech . The students forming the first battalion after bursting open the doors proceeded to the park , aad did not return until a late , hour of the night . The following day the Second Battalion mutinied . They were finall y overpowered , and the chiefs imprisoned . The First Battalion is to be disbanded .
A magnificent sword of honour—a masterpiece of _workmanship—has been presented to General Changamier , bearing the following inscription : — "The defenders of order co General Changarnier . ? [ Another sort of sword is in preparation which will be presented to Changarnier by the defenders of justice ! J - Paris , Tuesday , Jan . 1 . —This , being New Tear ' s-day , was kept a strict holiday . All the
public cfSces and the Bourse remained closed . _Nottrithstandiag the severity of the weather the streets were _crowded with pedestrians and carriages , and the shops for the sale of bonbons and elrenncs with purchasers . The receptions & t the Palace , of the Elysee took place with the same ceremonial as during the reign of King Louis Philippe , with the eole difference tbat they were not held at the Tuileries .
The vote ofthe French Assembly on M . de Ranees amendment with reference to the projected expedition to the River Plate leaves the main question nearly equally balanced and quite unsettled . A majority of three in a House of 627 members has decided that the estimate for a war-like expedition should be taken into consideration . Se far the moderate opinion of the Ministry has sustained a defeat , but it is only a partial one .
. _ ,. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . VIENNA , Dec . 25 tfa . —The report of the _Serbian insurrection is not confirmed . It is known , "however , that that people are in an exceedingly discontented and excited state . The attempt to prepare the Croafians for the reception of the March constitution has excited disturbances of a serious character iu that province . The clergy were commissioned by the government to set forth from their pulpits the great advantages which would accrue to the peasantry from the abolition of the nlot or
feudal service , aad other _ersellencies ia the new charter . These sermons have been anything but well received . In upwards of thirty places riots have taken place , and three of thc priests have been hanged . Six battalions were seat from Agrara to reduce the disturbed districts to obedience , and in many places conflicts ensued between tbe military and people . Some of the peasants have been Banged . It is extremely difficult to ascertain the state of Croatia , as facts of this sort are not permitted to he published in the newspapers .
The correspondent of the * Times' writing from Vienna on the 26 th of December , says : — ' You will doubtless hive read in our papers that the Duke of Bordeaux has met with a sad accident , broken his leg , knocked out some of his front teeth , & c As such a report will probably produce no little sensation in your part of the world , I will inform you of what has actually taken place . The train on our southern railroad , in which his Royal Highness was travelling , having stopped at Murz-ZHSfjhlag he left the carriage , and , ts the _waitingtoomatthe station was excessivel y crowded , he
preferred walking up and down near the rail to entering it , although the snow was lying deep on the ground . "Unfor tunately some very severe weather had , by : freezing a previous fall of snow , formed cohoderable inequalities of surface , which , being _invisible nnder the more recent snow , the Duke _atttmbledj'fell , and broke two of his teeth , the one / mdre _/ 'ihe other less . It is singular enough that " Just' as the accident happened the corpse of bis . brother-in-law , which was oa its way to Modena , _game up to the station .

ITALY . ROME . —We have had some movement amongst the French treops lately , the 32 nd , 36 tb , and 22 nd regiments having left Rome for the towns of Albano Frascati , and Tivoli , whilst the 17 th , 20 th , and 33 rd hitherto stationed in those cantonments , h » ve marched into the . capital . The stay of the 20 th will , however , be but of brief duration , as it is already under orders for Africa , greatly to the disgust of the Colonel , who , I . am informed , attributes this destination of the regiment to the fact that the majority of Us officers are of well-known republican sentiments , a strange misdemeanour cetainly for men to . be accused of Hnder a
republican government . It _appears to be the policy of the French minister of war to prevent any troops from _returning direcily from Civita Vecchia to _Marsail' . es _, and especially such a regiment as the 20 th , whose three . hundred men , made prisoners by the Romans on the 30 th of April , hospitably treated during tbeir detention , and generously liberated without conditions , might naturally be supposed to have some feelings of gratitude towards those _whom'they came to oppress , and . some real insight into the Roman question , which they would not fail , to communicate to their countrymen on their return . The 66 th of the line , and two companies of engineers , are « lsa nnder orders for Africa .

_CALUMNIES A 3 AINST KOSS _10 _H ; - » ' " ' *¦ * _^ - ¦ 7 : ' . _EJretfollowngletter , we are informed , lT « ; " ately forwarded to the editor of the ' Times ' :- _" / . . _SffiR , —There appeared in your paper of _l _& c 25 th , a calumnious statement , affecting the _charaeter of a public man and of a gentlewoman of " t . _spdtlM 8 ; repu . tatiom Many weeks must ' _necessarilylelapse _. erc If . Kossuth , or Countess Dembinski ' s husband , pr the Hungarian emigration , can bear of orrefute . that accusation . I have reason to know the utter falsity of the unmanly charge ; I am , ; perhapg , the only person at the present mbm ' erir ih _' _tjiis country who can speak f rom personal knowledge on the subject , and should _therefore think myself neglectful of an actual duty if I allowed the reputation of an , inno .-eent lady " and of an illustrious patriot , to remain even temporarily under the slanderous aspersion . | _-- || _j l ' -f Fir _' TftfT
You , Mr . Editor , as a journalist , I doubt not , will see sufficiently the propriety of deferring to the spirit of fair * play , and feel sufficiently anxious to make reparation for the calumny which , has crept into your columns by giving insertion to its ' refutation . That refutation I shall endeavour to _; effvbt ,. b y a simple _statement of what I personally . ascertained and witnessed , without co merit ; beyond the remark that I distinctly charge the author or authors of the accusation with utter ,: wilful , and malignant falsehood . The conduct of your Vienna correspondent , who has specifically chosen to accept the responsibility of these defamatory Hesj for which he vouches , would be difficult to characterise by expressions less offensive .
I need hardly recall more of the substance of this pretended _correspondenca from Shumla , which overtly accuses , Madam Dembinski of an improper intimacy fvith the late President"Governor , 6 f , iluti ' gary , alleging thai she travelled with him under , a false name , in man ' s attire ; that _Kosstith had lost , in ! consequence , the command -of the emigrants , which had been given to _Perczsl ; that Perczel represented the democratic , Batthayni the aristocracy party ; that tbey . were both " at variance ; with Kossuth , and that the correspondent recognised a female in the disguise of military rank and uniform . I have the honour of the acquaintance of M .
Kossuth , of Madam Dembinski and ber husband , of Count Batthyani , of General Perczel . I spent ( with the exception of occasional absences ) two months with the Hungarian , emigration at _. Widdin , and accompanied it part of the way on its march to Shumla . During the chief part , of that time lwaa lodged in the house of Kossuth . There were " at Widdin , besides myself , three En jlishm ' en , to whom icah . appeal for the _strict accuracy of ray , statements , that is to say " , General Guyon , the correspondent of the ' Daily News ,. 'and your own correspondent , respecting whom you will perhaps appreciate my silence if I ani not here more explicit .
In the first place , there did not exist in . the emigration any aristocratic or democratic' party . The refugees , like the bulk of the Hungarians , occupied themselves no more with _siich . questions than the English in the time of Queen _Elizabeth , menaced by the Armada . M . _Kossuth , Count Battbyani , and General Perczel , always on a friendly footing , had recently contracted the closest intimacy . On the night of my departure I heard fiem pledge them- ; selves to the most perfect concert during the whole continuance of their exile , and agree , as . far as possible , never to allow themselves to he separated from each other . The last accounts tliat I ( and I believe any one in this countrv ) have received from Shumla ,
indicate rather an increase than any diminution of this good understanding . With regard to the deprivation of Kossuth ' s command over the emigration , the ex-president governor never attempted to assume any civil or military control or other preeminence whatever over the emigrants beyond tbe spontaneous deference conceded to his late supremacy , antecedents , and renown .. Genera Guyon had the military command of the emigration . On his departure for Constantinople it was assumed by Mourad Pacha ( Geni . Bern . ) And Mourad Pacha having quitted Widdin , in an armed steamer , before the em i gration commenced its . march ,. the command ofthe Hungarians devolved naturally on General Perczel . . .......
Besides a few canteen women there were but two females—the Countesses Batthyany and Dembinski —accompanying the emigration . ' The story of the lad y in ' uniform is a sheer fabrication . I _ct-me now to Madame , or more properly , the Countess Dembinski , and if obliged to enter into seemingly indelicate details , must plead as my apology both to that lady ' and to the public the grossness of the outrage to which she is victim . Madame Dembinski is ths daughter of a merchant of Arad , and the wife of Count . Dembinski , a Galiician nobleman , and . relative of the general of that name . Madame _Dimbinski was , married before
ever she saw Kossuth . She followed her husband to the camp ; and I hare heard both him and herself relate that , excepting during ; the , _continuance of an engagement , they bad never since their marriage been even for a day separated from each other . Madame Dembinski is of an almost infantine simplicity , and has n ? ver attempted any _interft ' re n ' ce in politics . Count Dembinski , being attached to the person of Kossuth spends his whole time under Kossuth ' s roof , and ( since the late President Governor has kept a table ) the Countess Dembinski presides over it . Both Count , and Countess Dembinski are in ill-health and still suffering from intermittent fever , caught during their retreat from Hungary . Kossuth , who is old enough to he tlieir father , seems to take a paternal interest in this young couple ..
Kossuth , during the first part of his sojourn at Widdin , inhabited the house of the chief of the police , in which : he occupied a single room , together with an . _aide-carap and his interpreter . Here , beiEg without convenience for the preparation of any regular repast , I found him eating his solitary meal out of rude earthenware with an iron spoon . - During the last month of his stay , in consequence of peremptory orders from Constantinople , the best house in Widdin was placed at his disposal ; hut , as he would not dispossess the owner , whose harem filled the upper storey , only the four ground-floor apartments were occupied by him , and served to lodge some dozen persons of his suite , besides
servants . . The room which he day andinight inhabited was , in both houses , according to the ; Turkish fashion , always open to allow free ingress to all comers , and could only be closed by a curtain drawn across the doorway . Kossuth , during the whole of his stay in Widdin , may therefore be said ; to , have lived in a glass bouse , and . amidst theernpty honours finally paid him , had constant reason to complain of tlie want- of privacy . The Count _, and : Countess Dembinski did not lodge in the same house wiih Kossuth ) except on' two exceedingl y cold' ni g _lits , when in consequence of their state of health a room was ceded to tbem . its former occupants being
quartered for the tjme upon Kossuth . For the same reason ; the late president-governor , to whom a comfortable travelling carriage had been presented , gave a seat in it to the Dembinski ' s , whose carriage had no springs . The . last day that If accompanied the march I saw , Kos _? uth on horseback , with . Count Batthyani on one hand and General Perczel on the other , and ! Coqnt . _Demlritiski with his " _adyiolldwing in the carriage . It is riecessaify , that I should seriously add that to the . best of iny belief and knowledge Madame Dembinski , who . is distinguished liy graces essentially feminine , never arrayed herself in male attire in her life ? ¦ . .. . •¦ .::. _- ..
In conclusion I can frame but one conjecture as to the motive of this unfounded anoSscurrillous attack on a suffering , inoffensive , expatriated woman , and on a husband . and father so notoriously devoted as M . Kossuth'to his own wife and children . j That conjecture , Mr * . Editor , ( _atsd-T . conceive your consequent dread of any . participation in such a scheme , however involuntary ) will , if the reasons ! have previously adduced _provsinsnfScient , I am sure determine you to insert this letter . , _| : , .. ' Madame Kossuth is ( or . was until recently ) , concea ; led inilungaiy . She had refused to follow her husband in the hope of rejoicing her children . ' All the efforts of tbe _Autfrian police have hitherto been unavailing to discover "iie ' r _retreat-iihas this slander been devised to draw her from her hiding place ? j am , Sir , your obedient servant , '" '

I have just seen in your paper a letter from Count Edmond Ztchy , in which he says ; ' Kossuth , on entering Turkey , positively refused ( o allow his baggage to be searched , and . * the _spurs _>( a pair of emerald spurs ) were offered by Kossuth , himself at Widdin , on the feast of the Bairam , to _, the Pacha ,

sea » on . _* _.-..-Count Zichy could hardly be expected to explain that his unfortunatebrother ;( besides other treasonable paper s )* , bad ; in . his carriage for distribution several- thousand proclamations of Jellachich , at that time declared a traitor and a rebel both by the Emperor and the Diet , and occupied in ravaging Hungary with fire and sword . 77-The jewels and all' other property of Count Ztchy were legally confiscated by the Diet , and
Kossuth prosecuted and punished the attempted appropriation of it by the police . During the war in Transylvania , Bern made application for secret service money '¦ to counter-bribe a neighbouring authority . Some of Count Zichy ' _s jc _wels _, as the most portable articles . of ; value , were sent from the treasury on due receipt , through the intermedium of a Wallachian agent , but . I defy Count Z chy to show that Kossuth ever retained , received , or handled , any portion of ; this or any other , national property .
; The _Zichys are unfortunate , " one , having been shot by the Aiiitriaris , ' the . other hanged by his countrymen as a , traitor ; but this is no reason why Count . Edmond should calumniate Kossuth , who never sanctioned that nor any other political execution , . .
