      _x FRANCE . Tn _^ _LssTSTlimrE-Asa _^ _BLx _^— The parties have declared agaiust each oilier & war a Voulranee _, of which the consequences cannot he foreseen . The majority have assumed a tone so high that they cannot- _* well come down from it . They say that they * wi ! l not be led by the Red Republicans and Socialists , and they now make almost more noise than their opponents are _accused of . General Bugeaud , _trith remarkable tact , on Thursday , said , in the -midst of one of those uproarious scenes" with -which the _Lf-gislaiive _-Assembly has _insagutated its es _.-istecce , that the _iRajority should give the example of moderation , and the majority instantly accepted the

      rebuke . It may he remembered that M . . Cauvin de Bourguet had _hetii reinstated in the command of the Assembly "by M . " Marrast -when he had been dismissed prematurely by General Changarnier . As soon as the -power of M . Marrast was over , "General Changarnier again dismissed M . _Cauvm . __ A am Geneial _Lsbceton had been _ran-asted by the Consll * tuent Assembly with thechief command of the forces protecting the Assembly , fie bas been superseded _tlV the seme individual , who -resisted some lime since the oTd-re of the _Presi ' deat of the Constituent As

      semblv . Itwas upon these _& cts that in the chamber on _Sandayi M . Chavoix ascended the tribune tointerrupt ths _verification < sf powers for a motion to order . General Lebretea succeeded M . Chavoix , tod-having confirmed the facts stated with regard to M . Cauvin , that he had thought -fit to resign his command in consequence of the difficulties . he had met _vriih in the _excKXse of his command . This determination he had -come to , he said , because he thought it right not to allow the dignity to be ¦ rreakened in his bands . After this _statement , M .

      Chavoix rushed to the tribune , 2 nd , amidst the loud ¦ cries of the Right and counter -cries _fr-im the Left , -accused the ministry of protecting , by its _responsi-• bilitv , tbe illegal acts of a soldier . . " M . Ledru Rollin folio-ved . hut was met at the outset hy sueh deter _, mined interruption from th ** whole of the parly of the Right , " that he _regained standing in the tribune , with his arm 3 crossed over his chest , wailing for a silence which it soon hecame impossible to obtain . "The Left anstsered the -cries of the Right by cries louder still , and M . Keratrv , the President , put on

      his hat . The sitting was consequently suspended , 2 nd it was to have been desired tbat calm shouli folios reflection , but it was not so . M . Ledru Rollin no sooner commenced speaking , on thc resumption ofthe sitting , than M . " Keratry was observed to lean forward and make some observations . These remarks were , it appeirs , auinsult to M . Ledru Rollin , * whb | turning round to the President , cried out that the tribune was net free , and came down from it . The confusion then became worse confounded , and each party cave free vent to its feelings ; four of the secretaries declared that they resigned .

      M . Odillon Barrot requested that if . Ledru Rollin would continue his speech . M . Eeratry , at the instance of M . Pierre Leronx , retracted , the words which had offended M . Lcdrn Rollin , and this gentleman then expressed a hope that lhe secretaries would resume their functions . Again the party of the right put in their veto , and one of the members cried out that they would not yield . " It was then that Marshal Bugeaud came forward and said that the greatest attribute of the majority was moderation ; he hoped that he should often during ths session have fo agree with M . Ledru Rollin

      whom be though * - quite rig " -1 in proposing th , reinstatement of tbe secretaries . -. This was immee _d-etely gianted _. and the order of the day was vo'ed-Oa Friday the verification of powers continued toexcite as much tumult as ever . Sergeant Rattier having protested against the elections of tue Cotes da _Nord , led to a great noise , which was only stopped by a vote , which negatived the sending to the . bureaus of the question of these elections . Sergeant Saltier , in protesting , said that he did so is the name of the whole army ; upon which all the generals in the Assembly rose up to protest against his representing the army .

      - On Tuesday , the Assembly was the scene of another _-noleit debate on the _validity of the elections of the department of the Yeuae . This is the department to which one of M . Rancher ' s telegraphic _despatches was sent , countersigned hy M . Fremy , his chef de cabinet , who himself was a candidate for that very department . M . Faucher defended the course he had pursued at considerable length amidst the execrations of the Mountain . In tbe course of his speech he was interrupted by XL Lagrange , who told him that the Constituent Assembly had declared that he ( Leon Faucher ) lied . On this a scene of indescribable confusion ensued , which even M . Dupin was scarcely able to suppress .

      M . Cremieux rose to reply to M . Leon Faucher , "but the Assembly , completely exhausted , rose _almosi unanimously , aud called out , ' To-morrow , tomorrow ! ' Tne house then adjourned in much disorder . The New Ministry . — Oa Saturday the President of the Council ascended the tribune , and announced the formation of his new ministry as follows : —Odillon Barrot , President of the Council and Minister of Justice ; Dufaure , Minister of the Interior ; Da _Tocqueville , Minister of Foreign Affairs ; Hulhieres , . Minister of War ; De Falloux , Public Instruction - Passy , Finance ; Tracy , Marine ; Lanjuinais . Commerce ; Lacrosse , Public Work ** . Thus has a ministry " een formed by the coalition of MM . Odillon Barrot , and Dufaure .

      On ths ministry the ' National' observes : — 'It is a _hetirog'ueous Cabinet , without consistence without value , without signification , without _ovenir , and incapable of making head against the _difficult ties of the situation ; such is the marvellous production of which M . Louis Buonaparte has been brought to bed after fifteen days' labour . * The first act of the new Cabinet is said to have hEen the despatch of peKtnptoiy orders to General Oudinot to enter Rome with the least possible delay . Ion gre mal gre . Thb order is _different from those hitber _' o sent to Italy , but it is supposed thai

      General Oudmot will have as much difficulty in executing it as the confused orders which preceded it . If tbe accounts which arrive from Rome be correct , the Romans are determined to resist , and have tbe means of doing so for almost an indefinite penod . Th-y have not only 30 , 000 _fighting men within the walls , with plenty of _ammunition and provisions for several months ; but every street in the city is barricaded to an extent that makes each street a fortress . Perhaps General Oudinot , notwithstanding liis army of already 30 , 000 men , will find himself in the position of the general who got * liberty to besiege Gibraltar . '

      Officers of the Assembly . The scrutiny in the Legislative Assembly for the nomination of its President was as follows : M . Dupin ( aine ) obtained the majority of 336 votes ; M . Ledru Rollin came n ? j * t , with 182 - and General Lamoriciere , with _seventy . five . Tha Vice-Presidents elected were MM . Baroche , _Bwleau , Lasteyrie , Bcnoit , Deseze _, andDe Tocqaeville . The Secretaries elected were Messrs . Arnaud , Peupin , Lacazs , Cbapot , Heeckeren , and Berard . Hurrah !—Algeria has added three new members to tbe Mouutain : Henri Didier , Emile Barrau , and Da Ranee , all Socialist Democrats .

      More Persecution . — The editor of the "Peuple' has been again condemned for an article inserted in that journal entitled ' Napoleon et les Paysans . ' This-time he is fined 12 , 000 f . aud sentenced to five years * imprisonment . The _Imyasi-jn cf Italy . —The French ' government received on Tuesday morning , the 5 ih inst . , the official news that M . Lesseps , the Envoy Extra _, ordinary and Plenipotentiary at Rome , has positively become deranged in his intellect . A letter is said to . have been addressed to the President of ihe Republic by M . Lesseps himself , in which he proposes to him (» he President ) a detailed plan of a bedchamber , it -was believed this unhappy incident would still further complicate the Italian question .

      __ Arrest of Proudhon . —M . Proudhon , who has hitherto escaped from the _condemnation to three years'imprisonment passed against him , has been taken into custody .

The * Deutsche Zeitung' states that the last resolution of the German Parliament ( to continue its sitting at Stuttgardt ) was caused by the Wish of _that Assembly to get rid of the Regent and bis Cabinet . The Regent is resolved to suspend all ofticial coramuni cations with the Parliament , and to continue the Central Government _§ s long as possible . . A proclamation has been issued by the Speaker and the clerks of the fugitive Parliament , inviting the members to meet at Stuttgart on the 4 th inst . It is expected tbat from 70 to SO members will obey the summons . \ NOTHER KIXG-MANUFACTURED CONSTITUTION . ( From the * Times .- )

      Beehs , May 30 . —The draught of the Constitution ofthe Empire drawn up by the Plenipotentiaries of Prussia , Hanover , and Saxony , is _publisheoVthis evening . In the address to the . several German Governments ,, by -which it is preceded , the Prussian Cabinet States that Bavaria has taken part ' in the Conference in which- the Constitution was framed , but reserves the decisive declaration of its acceptance . The . Prussian ; Government further states that the Powers who are parties to the Constitution have drawn it up that they may be enabled to meet the dangers by which Germany is threatened if it longer remaias without federative constitution or union , and because the Frankfort AssemMy ceased to exist as a letal body when it completed its plan of a Constitution , which could not be

      accepted by the government without alteration ; all the after * acts ofthat Chamber" are therefore to be considered as exceeding its powers and without' validity-. What follows is a translation of the document itself : — ' The governments of Prussia , Saxony , and Hanover have therefore agreed , according to the 11 th Article of the Act of Confederation , to enter into a anion ( bund ) , that has for its object the mutual protection of its " members against external and internal foes . The conduct of the general measures that may be necessary for this end , they have given ever to Prussia . The government of — -, like all those which _lormed part of the German Confederation of 1815 , is required to join this bUnd called into existence by the danger of the moment , and is requested to notify its junction with -it with the least possible delay .

      4 The above nimed governments would , however , but imperfectly discharge the " mission imposed on them if they merely dwelt on the necessities , which spring from the immediate present . They are impressed wilh the conviction that reason and duty alike require them to speak openly to the - nation , as well as to their allies , on their position with regard to the question of the Constitution . They did not recognise the Constitution drawn up by the Frankfort Assembly , because it went beyond the true and wholesome requirements of a powerful federative state , and , in the form it received from the conflict and concessions of political parties , - it did hot contain those essential guarantees on which the legal and regular existence of . every system of government reposes . . : :

      4 But the united governments have never for a moment forgotten that even for these reasons it b came their double duty to co-operate in framing a Constitution that has become an indispensable necessity for -the whole of Germany . Such a Constitution will secure to the nation what it for along period bas been painfully deprived of , what it is justified in demanding of its governments—unity and strength in relation to foreigu power ; and in its internal affairs , with the secured continuance of the existence of each member ofthe union , a common development of general interests and national

      necessities . It is the guarantees of just freedom and legal order which the German Constitution will have to grant to the governments and to the people . 1 On the proposition of Prussia , therefore _^ a draught of an Imperial Constitution is laid before the several members ofthe Confederation of 1815 , in the hops that it will meet their assent . The _Germai States which acc _* pt the present form of Constitution will be considered as members of the federate state described in article 1 ; while those states which do not find themselves called on to accept it will continue to possess , those rights and duties unchanged created by the treaties of 1815 . '

      The Constitution is very long , containing , with the law of election , more than 190 paragraphs . An abstract of the most important articles is nubjoined : —¦ ' The imperial house has the right of making peace and war , appoints the Ambassadors and Consuls of the Empire , conducts the diplomatic intercourse , aud concludes treaties of navigation and commerce with . foreign countries . The several German governments have given over their right to receive or appoint Ambassadors to the imperial power . * The imperial government will consist of a President of the Empire and a Council of the Princes . The dignity of the Presidency ofthe Empire is united to the crown of Pi ussia .

      The cjuncil of Princes ( or States ) will contain six votes , of which Prussia and Bavaria has each oue Wurtemberg , Baden , and tbe two _Hohenrnlkrns have one collectively ; one vote is allotted in the same manner to Saxony and the Saxon Duchies , Reuss , Arihalt _, and Schwarzenburg ; one to Hanover , Brunswick , Oldeuburgh , Mecklenburgh , Hol & tein and the Hanse-towns ; the remaining vote is given to the other small States—Kurhessen , Hesse Darmstadt , ' Nassau , _Hesse-Homburgh _, Luxemburgh , Waldeck , Rippe-Detmold , Scbaumberg-Lippe , and Frankfort . ' The President of the Empire will reside during the meeting of the Diet , at lhe seat of imperial government ( whether this will he Berlin or Frankfort is not known . )

      • The President of the Empire will exercise the powers entrusted to hira through responsible Ministers . He will open and close the sessions of the Diet , and has the right to dissolve the House ot Representatives . The Council of Princes , under the Presidency of the Head of the Empire , or , if he should be hindered from _discharging the duty , under . the Presidency of Bavaria , bas the right of proposing the draught of laws ; it will exercise the legislative _pawerin common with the Diet under constitutional limitations . The Couucil gives its decisions by the absolute majority of the plenipotentiaries present ; if the numhefis equally divided , the President gives the casting vole . ' -

      The section of the Constitution containing the Grundrechle , or fundamental rights of the German people , in many of its provisions follows tbat of the Frankfort Assembly . The following is an abstract of the law of election for the House of Representatives : — - 1 Every independent German who' has not been convicted of crime , and has attained his twentyfifth year , is an elector- Eligible as deputy to the House , of _Representatives is every German not con . victed of crime who has attained his thirtieth year , and has been for three vears citizen of a German

      state . Persons holding public officer do not require a special _penaiisa-m to enter as members into the House of Representatives , but have to defray the expenses which may ariseby the employment of officers who arc to discharge their duties in their absence . Electoral _districts for every Lumber of 100 , 000 souls , according to the latest official return , of the number of the population , are to be formed in every state . ? The form of election is indirect . The primitive voters ( Urwhaler ) choose the electors who name the deputies .

      • Whoever wishes to exercise the right of voting must , at the time the elections take place , he _citizens in the electoral district , and have resided there for at least three years . He must also , if requited , prove that he is not in arrear with payment of tbe State taxes . The section of the Constitution relating to tie Senate of the Empire is in substance as follows : — . The Imperial Diet consists of two houses ,- the Senate and the House of _Representatives . ' The representatives of the different States are to form the Senate .

      • The Senate is to consist of 167 members , of which Prussia sends 40 , Bavaria 20 , Saxony 12 , Wurtemberg 12 , Baden 10 , Curhessen 7 , Grand ' Duchy of Hessen ' 7 , Holstein 6 , Mecklenburg-Sehwerin 4 , Luxemburg-Limburg 3 , Nassau 4 , Oldtnburg 2 , Brunswick 2 , Saxon-Weimar 2 , and the smaller states 1 each . - - _.: < ' The members of the Senate are appointed one half by the government , and the other hy the legislature , in each state . In those states which have two branches of legislature the two chambers together appoint one half of the members of the Senate . ' In those states which only send one member , the government is to propose three candidates , out of which the legislature selects oue .

      ' A member of the Senate must be citizen of the state by which he is sent , have attained his thirtieth jcarj and be hi full possession of all mil rights .

      PERFIDY . Berlin , May 31 . —The publication of the federal constitution yesterday has been followed today by that of the new election law for Prussia . It is preceded by a _16 ng ministerial statement of the reasons why it is promulgated , addressed to the Kin ? . It points nut the deficiencies of the law of the 6 th of December , under which the last chamber was chosen : the first point noticed is the want of a strict definition of the term ' independent Prussian , ' which led to so much controversy , remedied now by making the franchise conditional on a contribution to the direct taxation of the country , either state or communal : the vote too is no longer secret * , but to be given openly ; the system of indirect election is preserved , the primitive voters choosing an electoral college . The voters are divided t into three classes ,

      each of which _chooser a third of tha number of the electors ; the most numerous will , of course ,-be those who pay the smallest amount of faxes , hut they will vote for only a third of the electoral college ; thus the evil of having the influence of the educated classes overborne by the wpight of , 69 per cent of the population , here , at least , unprepared for the exercise of a political function , will , it is hoped , be neutralised . ¦ ¦ The following is an abstract of the law itself : — ' We , Frederick William , & c , King of Prussia , decree , in order to carry out the articles of the Constitution from 67 to 74 , and on . the ground of article 105 and on the propositions ' of our ministry , that the following provisions are to be acted oh , instead of those of the law of election for deputies of ihe second chamber , of the 6 th of December ,

      1848 . ' The deputies of the second chamber are chosen by elec _' _ors in electoral districts ; the electors are chosen by the primitive voters in special districts . _. 1 The formation of the electoral districts is to take place according to the last official returns ofthe number of the population . ' One elector is to be chosen for ' every 250 souls . ' The electoral districts of the primitive _a > _# s ' are to be formed in such a manner that the nfmber of electors who are to he chosen in the same can be divided by three . ' Every independent- Prussian who has attained his 24 th " year and is in full possession of all civil rights is a primitive voter in the commune in ' which he _hes been a resident for six months , provided he does not receive support from public alms . ¦

      4 military of ihe standing army , as well as of the Landwehr , have the right of voting in the garrisons , where tbey are stationed at the dme of the elections , without regard to the length of time they have been there . The electoral districts of the military are to contain 750 men each . , Those of the Landwehr , who have been called out , vote at ; the place where they are stationed . ' _,. . ' . " . ' . v- ; * The primitive electors are to be divided into three sections , according to the amount of direct taxes ( class-tax , land-tat , and occupation-tax ) , they pay to the state , and in such a manner _thateach section pays one-third of the whole amount of the taxes paid by all the primitive electors of the district . - ¦ : -i ' _¦ ¦ . ' *

      ' Where : no class-taxes are levied , the state-tax , which has been introduced by the law of the 4 th of April , IS 48 , takes its place . The first class of primitive voters consists of those who pay the highest tax . ,, The second class consists of those who pay the tax which is the one lower than the fi'St . And the third class consists of those who pay the lowest tax . - '' - ' _...- .. ¦ .. . __' _¦ ¦ 'Every class chooses one-third of the number of ¦¦ lec tors . , _i * In the electoral assemblies no discussions can be held or _rest-luiions passed . Vote * given under protest or reserve are illegal .

      ' Every Prnssian who has attaintd his 30 th year , and is in full possession of all civil rights , and who has been a citizen of Prussia for one year , is eligible as deputy . ! The deputies are elected by the votes being entered into an official list . ' The new second chamber is to consist of 350 de ? _puties , to he returned by the several districts into which Prussia is divided , in the following

      proportions : — ' Konigsbsrg , 18 ; Gumbinnen , 14 ; Dantzic _, 9 Marienwerder , 13 ; Posen , 20 ; Bromberg , 10 ; City of Berlin , 9 ; Potsdam , 18 ; Frankfort , 18 ; Stettin , 12 ; Koslin _, 9 ; Stralsimd , 4 ; Breslau , 25 ; Oppeln , 21 ; _Liegoitz , 20 ; Magdeburg , 15 ; Merseberg , 16 ; Erfurt , 7 ; Munster , 9 ; Minden , 10 ; Arnsberg , 12 ; Koln , 11 ; Dusseldorf , 19 ; Coblentz , 11 ; Trier , 11 Aachen ( Aix-la-Chapelle ) , 9 ; Total , 350 .

      THE WAR IN HUNGARY . The Storming of Ofen . —We take the following from the ' Wiener Zeitung ' : — ' The first storming parly advanced to the assault at ten on the night of the 17 th ult . The insurgents succeeded in reaching the ramparts in several places , hut were repelled with great loss , 400 or 500 being killed . The second assault was made at eleven on the night ofthe 19 th ult ., on which occasion they did not advance so far as on the former , and retreated leaving several hundred on the field . The third _storming , at eleven , on the night of the 20 th ult ., was successful . At six o ' clock on the following morning the fortress was'in the hands of the Hungarians . _TD ' e colonel of the Cecopieri infantry was found dead , _Heritzi severelv

      wounded in three places ., ' All the officers of the Croats and thft Granzer were cut down without quarter the castle and single houses , where officers were hunted down , plundered . The major of the Granzer ( the troops of the military confines ) who with about 200 men held the tete de pont , gave orders , when he saw the storming of the fortress and the thronging assault of the rebels , to blow up tlie bridge . Hismen refusing to obey him , he seized a match himself , -with which be sat fire to the mine ; Sufficient of the powder exploded to rend the major limb by limb , but not the least harm was sustained bythe bridge . The loss of the Hungarians at the final storming is estimated at 250 man and forty _i-ffiCFK . '

      The Jab ' onowski brigade , which crossed the Waag at Freistadt , has been cut off and destroyed by the Hungarians . The corps of General HerzingW , which had likewise crossed the Waag , is- asserted to have met with the same fate . Perczel , on the 18 th of May , defeated the remnant of Puchner _' s corps ot wsowa . Bern bombarded Temeswar , the ; suburb of which was wholly burntdown on May 11 . Perczel had summoned _Karlsbiirg to surrender . ; The Pesth papers have at last some news from T < jmeshvar . It ' appears that that fortress is in a sad condition . . The Hungarians have cut off the supply of water , and the garrison is suffering from _tbint and the camp fever . The Kolner Zeitung' has advices from _Vienna o ! the 30 th ult ., _Blatwg that letters baye come to that

      city from the captive officers of the late garrison o * Buda . It appears fft > m ihese letters that these cap . tured officers are treated with great kindness . General Hentze was buried with all military honours . The Hungarians took about 60 , 000 florins in silver , which were kept at Buda . The garrison of 22 , 000 men and eighty officers was conveyed to DebreCZ H . Eig hty-three pieces of artillery , 1 , 400 cwt . of gunpowder , 2 , 000 cwt . of saltpetre , and 14 , 000 muskets , fell into the hands of the Hungarians after the capture of Buda . ' . .. __

      A report is in circulation at Vienna that the Russians met with a terrible reception at _Kascliau , in retaliation for which they destroyed that city . Tlie facts are given as follows . The Russians having entered and taken up their , position in the square , a murderous fire was opened upon them = from every w ' mdow . Upon this they Immediately retired , surrounded the ' ¦ city with cannon , set fire to it at the four corners , and cut down all who attempted to make their escape . The :, ¦ Austrian : ; Correspondent ' inserts these ; reports without- ' denying them . A battle has taken place in the neighbourhood of

      Trentschin , to which place the _extreme left wing of the Austrian army extended : it lasted nine hours , and . _waS'Very blaody . Field Mafshtil Lieut . Heynau , who bad beeii summoned ' from-Italy ,, commanded , and General Vogel who had advanced from Galicia through the pass of Dukla _, hut who being then cut off had been forced back to _Trenfschhu ' D . _innenberg is supposed to have commanded the Hungarians . . After the- battle' Vogel fell back from _Trcntscbin andmade for Tyrnau . From this circumstance , in particular , it is evident that the victory was not on the side of-the Austrians .

      The Austrian army , probably . in consequence of the fall of Ofen , has made at Presburg a retrograde movement . They evacuated _^ Bqs ( pronounced nearly like bush _$ on the island of Schutt , which . ' was immediately occupied by the 'Hungarians . The main body of the Austrians was at Szedahely , that of the Hungarians in the little town of Megyer , a few leagues off . ' ' - / ' ¦¦ ''¦ _•' ¦ : - ' . ¦ "•'" ¦ ' ¦ There was a sitting of the National-Assembly at Debreezin on Mav 14 th . Paul Alhiasy was the

      president , Ludwig Kossuth here took the following oath : ' I , Ludwig Kossuth , elected Governor-President by the National Assembly , * swear to maintain the nation ' s declaration . of independence in all .-its consequences , _and-a'sb . obedience . to , the . laws and decrees of the . National . Assembly .. So true God help me . ' Hereupon'the President of the Assembly made an appropriate' patriotic speech .

      Accounts from Southern Hungary state that the Hungarians occupy on the frontiers of the Danubian Principalities positions so strong that it is almost impossible for tbe Russians to enter in that quarter . From the seat of war in the west the rumour which prevailed on the 31 st ult . of a battle at Trentschin , has been confirmed . * The Austrian troops engaged ' consisted ofthe corps of Vogel and- tbe brigade of Benedck j while the Hungarian forces were the advanced guard under General Darinenher-r . . The AustriaW were pUt to flight , and were pursued down the _Waag-thal by the Hungarian hussars , who made fearful havoc among ihe fugitives . ; A" battle is also reported to have taken place at Raab . ¦ Bern has reached _Orsowa , and issued a _proclama--tion to the Servians .

      : ' ¦ " ' , ' ' .- ITALY . . _., - ' . ' THE SIEGE OF ROME . ' " Mav 28 . —We are now awaiting with anxiety the result on the . " efforts which are still being made by the Triumvirate to bring about some arrangement or compromise with the'French commissioner , who has not yet finally quitted Rome . If the Austrians should advance _uiiott Rome from Bologna , as is expected here , we shall probably _witnessable forces of the French Republic operating in conjunction with those of that power , unless , _iiiclretJ _, which is perhaps

      not impossible , both of them should give the matter up as a bad business . The French have now an army of 25 , 000 men here , with no end of Paixhan ' s eighty-pounder guns . They calculate , ' no'd'iubt , upon making a breach in the old walls , which they think would give them a free passage . But I tell you that then the Work would only commence , and that unless they can starve out the Romans , they must make " up their minds to a hand-to-hand fight , and to contest every inch of ground , before they can obtain possession of Rome . :

      The following proclamation on the present crisis has been itsued by the Triumvirate : — _.-.: ' People ofthe Republic !—The Austrian advances . Bologna has fallen—fallen after eight sublime days of battle and _sacrifices— fallen as' others triumph . Let its last cry be a cry of war and vengeance ibr ah of us ; let those who have -jn Italian heart receive it as a sacred _Jletracj' . Rome demands of you , citizens , a last effort ; and it is certain of obtaining it , because the blood of her children shed on the 30 th April makes it tlieir right . ¦

      ' By adhesions to the government and ariministrction committed to us y * hen ihe days of danger commenced , you have given a . noble and solemn testimony of concordant faith to Italy aud to Europe , Wc summon you to give another- testimony—that of feats . Be ready , every man of you , to seal your faith with your own blood ! Arise , every city , every borough , every place , to avenge ' Bologna ! Lit . every hell ' sound the stroke of agony , the horror which the . people denounces on the _foreir-: i invasion . Kindle upon j'Our mountains , from ridge to ridge , a symbol -of fraternity in wrath , the fires

      which gave in December , 1847 , the signal of our revolution . Display the . red- banner everywhere on towers and steeples ! From farm to farm , from house to house , let the _s-igual of battle run . Let the enemy , let Italy , let Europe know , that here , in the heart ofthe Peninsula , three millions df . men stand bound by the oath of a tremendous defence , irrevocably resolved to combat to extremities , and lo bury themselves , rather than yield , under the ruins oi their country . And , thanks be" toGod . no human power will be able to snatch ihe victory from us Three millions of men are omnipotent when they say—we will it .

      • Italians ! sons of Rome ! soldiers of the Republic , this is a solemn hour , prepared for ages ; one of those historical moments which decree the life or death ofa people . Great and powerful for ever , or branded for ever with the mark of servitude ; acknowledged to he freemen and brothers by the nations , or condemned to the nullity of men who must be obedient to the caprices of others ' . masters of yourselves , of your houses , of your altars , of your tombs , or the laughing-stock of every tyrant ; committed to an immortality of glory or of shame , you will be what yourselves shall choose . The judgment of God and of the human race hangs upon your option .

      . Be great . Resolve for victory . The people . conquered victory amongst the _. Spaniards _. lhe Greeks , the Swiss—let them conquer victory for Italy . Lst the prefects , the extraordinary commissioners , organise the insurrection . . Let them assemble from pro : vihee to province .. Let them draw inspiration from Rome . Let them assume , in extreme dangers , exceptional powers and extreme remedies . Letih , director who _yielcls , who flees' before having cornbatted , who capifiilaies , who wavers , be declared a criminal . Let the district which receives the enemy be politically cancelled from the . territories of the repuJWic Let _himwho does not combat in one mode or another the foreign invader have all the infamy of his conduct . Let him who . were it hut '

      for an instant , sides with the invader , lose country and life for ever . Let hiin who abandons to the invader the materials of war be punished . Let hiin who ; does not assist in depriving them- of food , lodgment , and rest be punished _; _- ] let him who , being able , does not quit the ground trodden by an enemy he punished . Let a circle of fire and " a desert be drawn round the array that raises a banner that is not ours . Let the Republic , meek and generous heretofore , arise terrible in menace . . ' *' .

      The ' Monitore Romano , ' of the 24 th ult ., announces that Captain Dobrowolski , of the general staff , is commissioned to organise and command the foreign legion now forming . Two hundred Tuscans had arrived at Rome to serve under the Republic ; many Piedmontese tirailleurs have deserted , with arras and _haggaE-e _, for the same" purpose . French subjects were daily dropping in with the same view . Latcraccounts from Rome state that nearly the whole of the Roman forces under Roselli have returned to Rome from tlieir expedition against the Neapolitans . They were received In triumph . Garibaldi is still on the frontiers . Letters from Rome dated the 28 th states that M .

      Lesseps had abandoned the city and laken refuge m the camp , under protest that he was threatened _vyith assassination ; that the Provisional Gfayernm' _-nt bad refuse d ' to admit a single French soldier without , an _engagement being made to recognise the Republic ; and that sickness had already shown-itself in the camp .

      Letters f : om Rome of the 28 ih ult . announce that hostilities had not been resumed between the French troops and tlie Romans .

      The city of . New .

A portion of one of
