France. Y Z Oa Thursday M. Dupin Was Ref...
FRANCE . y Z Oa Thursday M . Dupin was refected President of the Assembly . The number of voters was 538 . M . Dupin obtained 325 votes ; M . Michel de Bourges , the candidate of the Mountain , 102 ; General Lamoriciere , 60 ; General Bedeao , 35 . Sixteen votes were lost- The result of the ballot having beea announced , M . Dupin was proclaimed president . General Bedcau , MM . Data , Benoit _d'Asy , and Leon Faucher , were elected vice-p residents of the Assembly . Jules de Lasteyrie bas , therefore , been the only one of ihe former vice-preBidenU excluded . MM . Arnaud ( de _l'Atiege _. ) Lass ? , Peupin , de Heckeren , Chapo t _, and Berard were chosen secretaries ot the Assembly . _ f . .
The _reelection of M . Dnpin as president of the Assembly is a clear proof how _littleat lention is paid on time ' occasions to what ought to he the mam qualifications of such , a functionary , namely , impartiality asd dignity . No sooner is a liberal orator installed in the tribune than the President Dupin , _instead of protecting him against the interruptions of the Right , aggravates his distress by a thousand little sallies of waspish petulance . Tbe sparkling _string of ep igrams wherewith the president seasons a doll debate is no doubt refreshing to a jaded honse , particularly in the dog days , but his wit too often degenerates iuto _buffiionery , and his _live liners b ecomes mere impertinence . The license of his tongue is encouraged , because it is found useful in serving the spleen and rancour of the majority , and his authority becomes a potent instrument of oppression against their political adversaries .
A tumultuous movement took place in the Assembly , in consequence of tbe report that a violent altercation _vcas going on in the passages _bstvieen MM . de la Devansaye and Baune . A great number of members rasbed out in great haste . The cause of the quarrel was this : M . Valentin , wounded the _olhsr day in a duel with M . Clary , had some votes in his favour as secretary . This announcement having raised a titter among the majority , M . Baune made use of some expression wbi ( _-t _: was interpreted as an insult by M . de la Devansaye .
A jiuel took place m the evening . The adversaries _fousht with swords . M . Devansaye had his shirt _tonfal the first engagement ; and M . Baune _receivd , oa the second , a hit iu his breast , which did v . ftt , however , draw blood . The affair was then arranged by the seconds . Tha provincial papers continue every day to bring accounts of arrests , domiciliary visits , & c , by the authorities at Lyons , Dijon , and other places . The professed object of these proceedings on the part of the _eiriice U to find members of secret political
sock : es ; to search for copper medals , said to have been _recently cast in honour of the persons _condemned hy the high Court of Versailles ; ( o _seiz- _; upon all political correspondence , instructions , or _receipts for the fabrication of gunpowder , and _missels , or anything else tending to throw light on _thei-lans of the socialists and demagogues . The country papers s'ate that , notwithstanding the numerous instances in which the police have thus acted , tbe search has not produced any result . At Dijon two persons were arrested .
On Tuesday week the editor of the' National was condemned to three months' imprisonment and a fine of 200 f ., for announcing tbat a subscription had been commenced at Nangis to pay the fine of 25 f ., to which ( wiih a week's imprisonment ) the wife ot a farmer at Fontem lies had been condemned , under tbe : _;! • • against hawkers , for lending a newspaper to a _n'Ti _^ _baur . 53 . Armaad Alarrast , the ex-president of tbe Constituent Assembly , and previously editor of the ' National , ' has resumed his labours as a _journalifr . Tiie ' Credit' announces big name as one of its editors . Several arrests have lately taken place at Grenoble , and it appears that , as at Lyons , some of them are connected in a direct manner wiih the affair o ? the conspiracy at Oran .
As soon as the sitting of the Assembly was opened on _Ffiiky , 31 . Dupin , who spoke for the first time since his re-election to the presidency , addressed the bouse in tbe following words : 'At the _sionieni . when a neig hbouring and friendly people is deploring ihi- loss which it has just _suffered of one of its statesmen most deserving of regret , I think that il will do honour to the French tribune to echo from it in this Assemblv tbe expression of our
sympathetic regrets , asd 10 manifest our high esteem for that eminent orator , who , throughout tbe course ol his long and glorious career , has never entertained any otf . er _feeiines hut those of justice and _htnevolenca for France , nor made _nse of any other expressions _« ban tixise of courtesy towards her government . ( Cheers . ) If the Assembly deign to approve my _pn-y . sal , meation- shall he made of it on tho proces ierbal . ( Unanimous iBarKs of a . dhesion . )
AIXKGED IStESTtaS TO KILL THE PRESIDENT . A _jonne fcihw of seventeen was arrested ou Friday _afternoon , _r-j-o avowed the desi gn of assassinating the President . He wa * prowling about the Elvsc _? . at _tUe _urne _. and his wild look and _pscings to and : ' ro bad already drawn ths attention of the _gusr-i _? . A' _^ -iut »• . _« . o ' clock a carriage , containing Co l ¦ - . •?*¦} _V-i-. _dres and some other persons , issuing from : u ? . gait , this youth was observed to make a sudtien dzv , _towards the vehicle , while he thrust his hai . _" iuto his hreast as if in search of some arms ; but having _apparency satisfied himself that tbe petson hi sought _vras not there be retired , and allowed the carriage ( o pass . A policeman , who bad
observed ibis suspicions act , now approached the yo nti . - o question him and secure his person . No _resif-t ? . ; c _« -83 made : before he was collared he _conff _^ d tuat he came there for the purpose of killing the _President of tbe Republic . Having made this av ., _aal with perfect calmness , aud without the slig _hip st Lesitatioc _, he suffered himself to be qnieiy : _akcn to tbe office of the _csmmusary of _police , where he was searched , and a loaded pistol was found in his p _issession . His name , he said , was G « jrge Alfred Walker , aged seventeen , a
compositor it the priming establishment of M . Briere » and living with liis parents , Rue Cherubiui , No . 3 . He added tbat he _bad long meditated the assassination of the President , and had with this intention tak" » i the pistol of a companion , without the _lattd ' S _ino- ! e ' ge , and Uwkd it on Thursday evening at the shop of M . Lefaucheux , armourer , Rue de la _Bourse . He bad no accomplice ,- nor had ever _repeated ' o any one bis criminal design . On Saturday morning he was _esunined , hut his an " _swers were such as to throw doubt upon his _Boundi : » _is of mind .
On Saturday a long discossjon took place in the Assembly on the question oi deciding whether a proposition : > f M . _FranceMpie Bonvet and the members ofthe _Mfiuulain to bare the state of siege removed from ih"five _depigments composing the sixth military division , ought to ha taken into consideration or not . Eventually a division took place on the point , when the question was decided in the negative bv 404 votes to 202 . A journeyman hatter , named Benoit , a _Socialist _tronhsd mr , was sentenced b y the Court of As _^ ze of Paris to a year ' s imprisonment and 500 francs fine for _siting , publishing aud singing a song insulii _.-ip to . ihe President of the Republic , entitled' Las _Massaerenre . '
A prosecution has been commenced against the p rinter of the' Journal dela _RepubliqusUniverselle ' edit ? d by Mazini , Lsdru Rollin , and others of the same sort . A ( _juauiily of packages of gunpowder and bullets was _aand on the 4 th inst . in Perpignan . Several persons were arrested on tbe same day . MasDAT . —Yesterday all Paris poured out to the Chan ;[ i de Mars to witness the novel spectacle i . f a man on horseback carried np by a balloon . Tbe horse was simply suspended by two girths . Tbe weather was tempestuous , and horse and rider were soon _snatched beyond the clouds , whither they were tracked by thousands of telescopes . The President drove through the crowd , who did not fail to testify their enthusiasm forthe Republic
The electoral lists , drawn up in virtue of the new law , have bsea published in the raayories . The number of electors for Paris is about 74 . 000 , that is less by 150 , 000 than the number of electors for Paris on the list of March last according to tbe old law , whicb amounted to 224 , 000 . The _difference iii the provinces will not be so enormous . In case there should have been any disturbance some measures of precaution were taken . The pos : . s were double at the Mairies , the police exercised a strict surveillance , and the troops ia the bar-Tacks were kept under arms nearly the _whole day , hat uo breach of order occurred .
_TnesDAT . —Y < sterday a scene of the greatest gravity took place in the Assembly in the course of the debate on the law sf the press .. M . Rouher , in tiie course of his speech , desi gnated the revolution of _February as a disastrous catastrophe . At this word
France. Y Z Oa Thursday M. Dupin Was Ref...
the ' whole opposition rose , and with tremendous clamour called on the presideuitn call the ministers to order . This M . Dup in refused to do ; but called M . Girardin to order instead . After the noise and tumult which lasted balf-an-hour , were somewhat abated , 'M . Girardin , having mimnted the tribune to explain , declared that he , for one , would not sit in an Assembly in which the revolution of February was _declared a disastrous event for ' France , without the speaker being called to _onfcr . Still more offensive was the conduct of the president in calling to order a representative who did bis duty in protesting against _language so unconstitutional , and so particularly improper in the mouth ofa minister . He thought tbat if the minister was not called to
order , all the members of the opposition ought to relinquish their seats in the Assembly . This opinion of M . Girardin did not , however , seem to find a universal echo on the benches of tbe Left , aud was received by the Right with jeers . He then descended , quite pale with excitement , and proceeded to write on a sheet of paper , It was thought , a _resignation of his seat in tbe Assembly , with , the motives of this act . The . sitting terminated afterwards in the greatest disorder . This scene occurred during the latter part of the sitting , and whilst the discussion of the clauses of the bill was taking place . The first part of the debate seemed to create little interest . The house was not much fuller than usual , and the reports of the crowded audience that would fill the tribunes were
completel y belied _. Firsttbequestion of urgency was discussed . M . Smile de Girardin demanded to speak with reference to the rules of the _hou-p , and maintained that a special report was , necessary to establish a case of urgency . M . de St . Priest observed thai the report was explicit enough upon this point . The assembly inclining to this opinion the inciden t dropped . . M . Mathieu ( dela Drome ) attacked with vehemence tbe reactionary march of the government ! which seemed to wish to . substitute s * vord-riile fo ; regular and constitutional administration . He wa 3 strongly opposed to allowing urgency for the
bill . M , Rouher , Minister of Justice ,, _replwd briefly to tbe arguments of M . Mathieu , and maintained that the violent speech of tbat honourable member was the best proof tbat urgency was necessary . ' M . Jules Favre insisted upon the importance of the question , and on the weight of the interests engaged ; and argued hence tbat the law should be debated with all the guarantees , required by the
constitution . . He denied that the-bill wore . the character of urgeiicy , ; _since tbe committee had been four months , since the 10 th of March , in getting up its report . M . Prosper de _Cbasseloup _Lanbat _, the reporter , spoke next in favour of ; urgency . ' M Smile de Girardin having mounted the tribune after bim , there " was a general cry from the benches ' of the Right for the close of the preliminary debate . The result of the ballot on the question of urgency gave 370 ; votes for , and 251 against . Urgency was in ' consequence declared for the bill _.
The debate on the clause , then commenced , and tbe scene above described took p lace . The apathy shown by the _puh'ic for the parliamentary proceedings is remarkable , and the public seemed insensible to political events of tbe gravest interest * It was only on Saturday that the fact was published to the world , tbat 150 , 000 electors of Paris bad been disfranchised by tbe _elfctoral law of the 31 st of May-. It has been received with every appearance of the calmest indifference . The ascent of M . Poiteven , danglin g astride on a pony from a balloon , is an affair wbich interests the Parisians at the present moment far more than laws which concern their dearest liberties .
In the evening about two hundred represpntatives of tbe Left met at the rooms of _Lemardelay _, and after midni g ht it was decided by a large majority that at the opening of the sitting to-day a protest should be placed in the hands of the President uf the Assembly against the expressions used by the minister , either in disparagement of the institution of juries , or of the revolution of February . The board of the _meeting was composed of MM . Adelswaerd ,
Grevy , Cremieux , Victor Hugo , and Charras . The motion of M . Eraile de Girardin for a collective _resignation of the seats of the opposiiinn in the As semblv , supported and amended by MM . 'Michel de _Bourge 8 , and Joly was rejected . Another motion proposing the impeachment of the minister was also rejected . MM . Charatnaule and Adelswaerd moved that the opposition should abstain from all discussion , and vote in silence until reparation was oh * tained . This motion was also thrown out . It wag
observed that all shades , even the moderate , of the opposition were represented at this meeting . The opposition press is furious with M . Rouher for bis effrontery * . The ' National' has arj article on this subject headed' Lachete et _Trihhon / and dare * the government to prosecute it , Yonng Walker has been examined by several physicians , who have pronounced an opinion in common that he laboars under mental alienation . It is supposed tbat he will be sent to the hospital of
_Bicetre-SWITZERLAND . The National Council of Switzerland met at Berne on the lit . After certain preliminary proceedings , Dr . Kern was elected president , hy fifty-nine votes to nineteen . The new president delivered > brief address , in wbich he stated that he would employ all bis efforts to merit the confidence placed in him hy the assembly ; be declared his attachment to tbe federal , institutions , and his determination to seek progress by the regular _development of them . He then referred to the affairs on which the Assembly would have to deliberate , and concluded by express ing the wish tbat the spirit of cociliatipn and patriotic sentiments would draw closer the ties wbich unite the members of the Assembly . The Assembly then elected M . Slarapflt vice-president , and chose four
secretaries
GERMANY . It will be recollected that poor Kinkel , the poetical professor of law at Bon , was tried sis or eight months ago for participation in the Baden insurrection , and sentenced to imprisonment for . life . The first three months of his imprisonment were passed in the House of Correction at Naugardt , in Pomerania , a prison in which only the commonest criminals are confined . His removal thence to Spandau , an important _fortrvss a few miles from Berlin , where many political offenders are confined , was regarded as an evidence of returning mildness in the hearts of the authorities ; and it was hoped that he would be somewhat better treated also . Unhappily these
hopes have all been falsified . He has not been better treated in Spandau than in Naugardt } _hii wife has not been permitted to see him , nor ,, indeed , has any other visitor been admitted . His friends have been surprised to learn that he is about to be . transferred to another prison , and on inquiry I find that the information is correct . Kinkel is to be transferred to Torgau , on the Elbe . These repeated removals of the unfortunate poet have their ori g in in a specie of refined cruelty which seems incredible . They are" intended solely to prevent hira from having any communication with bis friends , for an old law
exists wbich prescribes tbat no prisoner shall he permitted to see visitors until he shall have been three months in prison . Kinkel was three months in Naugardt , and bas been nearly three months in Spandau , whence he is to be removed .: His hard fate excites much commiseration , not only in Prussia , but in other countries , where his poetry has rsade him known . A Russian lady bf hig h rank and a devoted admirer of his poems , endeavoured a few days ago to see him , hut found on her arrival at Spandau that no person could be admitted to him without a written order from the Minister of the
Interior . Undismayed , this gentlewoman proceeded straig ht to the hotel of the Minister of the Interior . Her name and tide procured her instant admission . Her reception by Manteuffel was very flattering until he heard the nature of her request , which be refused in the coldest manner , if the little bird which witnessed the interview did not totally misunderstand the scene which followed , Baron Manteuffel was an unwilling listener to a tirade of abuse and sarcasm pronounced in a very lady like manner , but none the less biting . The interview terminated , hy his retiring from the robin , and the lady finding her way _OHt alone- Three days afterwards , the . husband of the ladv in question was called upon by the Russian
Ambassador , who stated tbat he had transmitted to him from the Minister of the Interior a fail protocol of the insults offered to the Minister of the Interior by tbe gentleman ' s wife , coupled with a demand for an apology . The husband made tbe . communication known to the wife , 'who immediately sat down and wrote what was . intended - to be an apology , hut which must havebeen in the style of 'Mr . Midshi pman EasyY apology to the Master . The Russian Ambassador tore up thejady ' a apology , aud informed the husband , that , he sbould be compelled to , traits _, mit Manteuffel ' s report to [ Si . Petersburg , thoug h considering _the-rankof' _^ the parties , he did it with the greatest possible regret . The lady ' s endeavours

to see Kinkel may possibly result in their immediate recall to St ; Petersburg .
PRUSSIA AND DENMARK . . _Bermk , July Z . —k treaty of peace has at last been concluded between Germany and Denmark . The treaty , or rather treaties , . for there are , I believe , three separate documents , were signed last night in the ministry , of foreign affairs by the respective negotiators , Baron ; Pecklin and Baron Rheedtz , the Danish pleni potentiaries i Hm f _^ on _Usedora , the Prussian plenipotentiary , ; the Baron Schleinltz , the minister for forei gn affairs ; and Lord Westmoreland , the representative ' of the mediating power . The first of these three treaties is between Denmark and Prussia , as the organ of Germany , and ii , I understand , the simple treaty of peace ;
reserving the rights of each power , and containing a promise on the partof Prussia that , she will endeavour to " , procure its ratification by the different governments witbin three weeks from : the date thereof . -The second treaty is between Denmark and Prussia alone . With the nature of this document , as well as of the . third ) lam unacquainted , a most mysterious silence being observed by all parties . From certain expressions wbich have been heard to fall'ftonv the li ps ol the , parties immediately connected with the negotiation , I very much fear that both contain conditions and stipulations not likely , to do credit to either Prussia
or-Denmark . The . latter demands that _Schleswig shall be entirely given up to her , and that the inhabitants _' of Holstein as belong ing to the . Germanic confederation shall be prevented from interfering in favour oi Scbleswi g . ' Itis impossible , that the _Holsteiners will consent to this , as it involves an infraction of the chief point for which they havebeen , fi ghting the independent union of Scbleswig and . Holstein . And unless . the treaty sighed last night provides that force shall be employed to restrain the Holsteiners from assisting their brethren in Schleswig , the . first hostile movement on tbe part of the Danes will be met by the united forces of the duchies ! .
The result of these treaties , If approved of in Copenhagen , as it fs expected they will be , must be the entry of the Danish army into Schleswig . The authorities in the duchies appear , to have been pYe pared for this result , for by the latest advices from Kiel we learn that the fortifications in . Rendsbii _^ g are being carefully repaired on all points , that large quantities of ammunition and > provisions are ; being stored up , ' tbat several battaiibns have . been hurried in forced , marches from the southward , and that the whole array is to . be : posted to the north on the banks of the Eider , The reserves too , are to be immediately called o ' uti .
AUSTRIA _;^ . Vienna ., July l _.- _^ -Bah iellacbich has arrived in Agram , where he how p ( isseBse 8 the authority of a viceroy . The ' official' journals are full of the addresses which he has . published tof the population . In all his addresses , ' However , there is riot one ! word to be found of the Banal council , of the ministry , or of ibe important questions of _fthe'day . They contain nothing but : extravagant pr'dfestarions ; of bis loyalty to , the imperial' house 'ahd praise ofthe great patriotism which he declares ¦ ' he bas oii all occasions manifested . Six or eight months ago his loud tongued praises of himself and his party were received with enthusiasm by a large
portion of theCroauon population , but since then the conviction bas been gradually gaining ground amongst his former adherents and friends , that he is only a patriotic mouther , whose patriotism has oerved as a mask , beneath which he has served the court , by carrying through roost unpatriotic and unpopular measures . The ' middle classes in Croatia are more politically enli ghtened' than in any other province of the empire ; a fact , the truth of which is plainly apparent in the character of its journalism .- In Agram is published one of the hest newspapers printed in the German language , the ' Sud Slavische Zeitung , ' which hears the charac t er of an . opposition journal . Until recently Agrampossessed another journal equal in talent
and energy to the * Sud Slavische , ' but published in the Croatian idiom , the .. ' Slovensky Jug , ' the existence oii which was put an end to by the go . vernment . Since its murder the ' Sud Slavische ' hasbeen the only journal of talent . But though fig hting alone , it has not been without success . Many of the younger branches of'society in Agram bitterly repent tbe support which tbey lent to the government against the Magyars , and si gh for the liberal concessions which Kossuth and bis colleagues _wpuld have made to them . 'They are bitterly disappointed with the hew political organization given to their country by . the government , with the advice of the Ban , and may become very dangerous opponents to tbe presiding authorities .
Haying referred above to the 'Sud Slavische Zeitung , ' I may state that it and the' Brunn Presse ' ( formerly _published in Vienna ) are the only . opposition journals published ' . within the whole empire , so successful has the government been in suppressing all liberal journals . The right of association ! too , has been taken a « _"ay from the liberal party , which at this moment _possesses no means whatever , in any part of the empire , of carrying out a political object in a legal manner . Their opponents , meanwhile , are favoured by tbe government in the most extraordinary manner . Associations similar to the Prussian . _Treubiind are forming in every province , with the especial sanction ef the ministry . The Catholic priests hold numberless meetings ,
unwatched and uncontrolled by any police authority , although the most unconstitutional expressions are used , and illegal measures recommended for promoting a return to an anti-March-1848 state of things . True , but lntle or the freedom gained in 1848 remains to be recalled ; still , tbat little is a thorn in the side of _prists , aristocracy , and landed proprietors . The abolition of the feudal services , which the peasantry were compelled to render their landlord , is perhaps the sole real good which re mains , and this , too , would doubtlessly , be very spftedily git rid of by the _guvernment were they not afraid of the intense agitation wbich ¦ would necessarily ensue . The peasantry bave felt and duly appreciate the blessing of tbis freedom and will not easily be made to give it up . . ' _\ !
Though the public ' -are informed by the ministerial journals that a general amnesty is shortly to he granted , the trials hy court martial still continue . Last week sentences of imprisonnaet / or life were pronounced against nine members of the Hungarian diet , who took no part whatever in tbe war . THE INSURRECTION IN BULGARIA . . Advices from Semlin to the 26 th and 27 th June , lead to the belief that the Turkish 8 _riU 8 have not been so successful as ' was Originally Stated . -The insurgents are said to be collected in great force in Serbia , and to be still in arras in the district of Bel gradcifza . Foreign influence is said to be very active in promoting the insurrection .
ITALY . ROME , June 23 .-Under this date the _' eorrespondent of the "Morning Chronicle * writes : —* It is not in my power to communicate any satisfactory intelli gence , as ibe system of reaction is not diminished , U was expected that some concessions would have been granted to the oppressed on tbe anniversary of bis Holiness' 8 accession to the papal chair ( 21 st inst . ) The hope of the people , however , has been completely disappointed ; nothing has been done : Consequently the usual illumination has been very miserable , as , with tbe ' exc _^ ption of the public offices , a few houses of the employes , and some ofthe noblemen , all was perfemly dark . The population of
Rome is daily diminishing ., Hundreds of families are in a state of starvation , and yet the spirit of the Romans is not suhdued , and manifests itself on all occasions , although under the strict surveillance of spies and an army of Sbirri . Besides political opinions , the Cardinal-Vicar persecutes and prosecutes all those who are suspected of Protestant tendencies ; the hunting after Bibles continues , biit none are fouudi The police prosecute all those who are suspected of republican or constitutional opinions , and of late the foreign consulates have not been spared , in defiance of the immunities and privileges th e y have enjoyed for centuries , founded on custom and usages in the absence of a treaty-or of an international law _. The Prussian consul ' s office at Civita
Vecchia has been searched , in consequence , of orders sent from Rome , but nothing was found there to warrant such a step . If I am well-informed , as I have every reason to believe I am , the Prussian charge d ' affaires in Rome , M . Raymond , has made a strong remonstrance to the Roman government on the subject , but no answer has been given as yet . Previous to this fact several notes passed between Mr . Freeborn , the English consul , and the Cardinal Secretary of State , in consequence of the perquisition made by the police and Cardinal-Vicar ' s officers in the house of Mr . Ercole , chancellor and _secretar of the British consulate . The Cardinal attempts to show that consuls have no privileges . The British consul admits that tbey do not enjoy the privileges of ministers , bat be maintains that tbey enjoy im .

munities and p rivileges _^ from time immemorial as consuls , and established and acted . iupon by the substitute for a law , viz ., custom and ' wage . Tbis difference of opinion with the Cardinal ; is in tbe hands of a tnati of great experience , prudence , and modi-ration , hut he has to deal with the Jesuits , whose arguments and tergiversations are well known . I have seen several letters'from , consuls at Ancbnai ' statin * that they would rather take dawn the arm * of tbeir respective nations , and burn the ; archives ' : off their offices , than permit their official , residences to be violated . Even ' -the public-voice , expressed m aU the European papers ' , with a few exceptions , baa no influence over this reckless government . The rights
of the people , the ri g hts of official persons , are all set at defiance . This is the _consrquence _^ of the untoward occupation of tbe Roman States by the _Catholic armies . . It has produced . arrogance'in an ex' treme degree , and _willengender theattempt to put down all Protestant tendencies .: In . short , we . ; wit . _ness the _revivarofthe persecutions of the middle ages '; ' and ' yet they are tolerated by Protestant governments , who apparen tly lookon with _indifference , and will hot raise their voice ; n opposition , untiko late ; - It is to be hoped that both the Prussian charge'd ' _affaires and the Eng lish' consul will ' be supported in tbeir claims by their governments if not , consuls will be placed' in an inferior position .
" . It is well _knotvn ' that the French army lost a _considerably number of men during the siege bf Rome , and , the loss of -the Romans was-also great oh that occasion , not only in men and officers * biit in many young , men . volunteers , belonging to some of the mos t distinguished families in Italy . The fsame occiirred to the Austrians at Bologna and A ' ncona ; and to'the Neapolitans ' . at Zagarolaand'Velletrh The French , however , as well as the Austrians , restored the Pope to his temporal power , ; and how . maintain it with its abuses . His Holiness , in gratitude to them , has caused a religious ceremony to be ; performed for the souls of the Soldiers of those nations who were killed on that ' occasion , whilst the survivors of the . Romans who were Killed , were hot even
allowed to have a public mass said for their deceased relatives . For the French _; Austrians ; Spaniards , and Neapolitans tbeir _gratitude 'has beeh ' _sbown in Mder 8 of merit conferred ; whilst the- Romans' have been exiled and . dismissed" from office , which must inf many . _casesjead to starvation ; and consequent hatred of the government . _Thelmpression created in the public mind by . this religious . ceremony . ' has been very great , and the policy of the cardinals , in using every effort to separate the people and govern _« men * , is incomprehensible . Next week his Holiness will go to spend ' , ' tlie summer months at Castel . Gandolfo , fourteen miles from Rome . During his absence the policei'directed by the famous _Nairddni , will , H ia & aid , CMise perquisitions to be made in every bouse for arms , books , papers , & c The French will not inter / ere : ' i ¦ ¦ ' :: ¦¦ .: •' _¦¦ ' ' ' ¦ ' . ¦ . _' ¦¦ ,.

Letters from Bologna state tbat a number of the Roman Republicans have established their ' quarters inthe small Republic of Santo Marino ; The Papal government , has demanded their expulsion , but the Republic has turned a deaf ear to the application .

' Order having , by Divine _Providnnce , been restored in the dominions" of both sides of the Faro , it is ihe express will of his Majesty the King , our absolute Lord , that' all functionaries shall take a new bath , according to the decree of 1816 . ( Signed ) ' Morbna . ' Another , circular of the Minister of War at Naples , dated the 6 th ult ., prescribes the form of ihe _. _oath to be taken by the officers o 1 the army . No mention is made in it of the Constitution , the _objection it imposes being implicit . obedience to the King . ' : .
The appearance of Messina , Palermo , and . Catania is truly melancholy . The spy and the military patrol are the features which strike the visitorwant of confidence in the merchants—poverty in the lower classes—dread of imprisonment felt by all , combine to produce so sad ah appearance in the cities which , but a few months since , were animated with gaiety and hope for the future .
_» AMERICA . ' ( From the 'New York Tribune , ' June 25 th . ) The 'debate 8 in Congress have hot resulted in the accomplishment of ariy of the measures which have so long been under consideration , imposing no . light tax on the patience and good temper of the public , The subject of Slavery in the Territories has still been the principal theme of discussion , and has elicited such a divergence of opinion that the prospect of agreeing on any arrangement remains as hopeless as heretofore . Even Mr . Clay , with all his variety of resources—his readiness of invention—and
his . consummate dexterity as a parliamentary _engineer , has exhibited strong symptoms of discouragement as to the fate of his Compromise _^ Bill ; altbdugh lie leaves no measure _tinattempted ; which shrewdness and sagacity caii suggest to secure its passage through the Senate . Our latest private ad . vices represent the success of the Bill as altogethe r uncertain ; Hi fate was embarrassed by the multi . plicity . of amendments ; and the sli ghtest adverse influence from an unexpected quarter would inevitably cause its defeat . Much , boweverj would depend on the events of the week in regard to tbe organisation and , protection of New . Mexico .
In t he house , the bill for granting a bounty of the Public Lands , on an extended scale , as a reward for military services , has called forth an animated debate . Mr . Moore , of Pa , made an able 'speech in behalf of the noble and benificent provision bf Free Homes from the Public-Domain foT all who will cultivate them . His speech produced a deep impression on the house , -and it is not improbable that his proposals may be carried . A new and formidable crevasse has broke out in
the Mississippi , at the Grand _Iiftvecitv _rtepariah ol _Point-Conpee , which threatens the most fertile portions of Louisiana .: The first break took p lace on the 10 th inst . and in two days was found by measurement to be 150 yards wide . Every attempt to arrest , its , progress has been abandoned , and the worst fears , in regard to its effects , seem likely to be realised . _^ Hundreds . of plantations must . be destroyed , arid , a tract of country as large as some whole states in the Union , completely deluged .
The great temple at Nauvoo , one of the most remarkahle "¦ architectural curiosities in the United States , was destroyed by a hurricane on the . , 27 th of May : This stupendous edifice was erected by the Mormon religious sect in 1845 ,, and was _ipartiallf'burnt in 1848 ; leaving only its four walls etanding ,. the timber and woodwork having been consumed by tbe flames . In March , 1849 , it was purchased by the Icarian community , under the well-known French Socialist , M . Cabet ; for the
purpose of converting H into an immense refectory for one thousand persons , with the . halls , saloons * _schoolrooms , and places of reunion for the public _becasjoris of the community .. . . The work of rebuilding had made some progress ; the mechanics . were engaged in the constructions ; when the destructive tornado burst ( forth , levelling one ofthe wallBwith the ground , and causing sof much damage , that the other walls were taken down the next day . Fortunately no lives were lost h y the disaster .
. The details ofthe burning of the steamer Griffith on Lake Erie announced in the last * Tribune , ' are of the most heartrending character . The fire was discovered near tbe smoke pipes about half-past three o ' clock on the morning , and spread with such rapidily that no hope was cherished of saving the _ves _; _sel . She was about three-fourths of a mile from the shore , - and fifteen miles east of Cleaveland , when she was _abandoned . A large _. num ber _, of burned bodies were , found on the wreck , although . it _jg supposed that the principal part oif the victims were drpwned after throwing themselves into the water . The whole . number of passengers was about 300 , of which only between lorty and fifty were saved . Among ( he unfortnnate victims was a large proportion of Germans and otber emigrants .

CAMDA . - : . Montreal . —We take the following from t he ' Montreal Courier ' ' of the 18 th . June , respecting the recent disastrous conflagration in Canada : — It is with deep regret we call the attention of the public to the details of the late calamitous fire , The origin thereof bas been traced to the carelessness of some persons who , while smoking in a house hard by the Protestant Church , near the Gas Works , threw the matches among some shavings , wbich quickly ignited . The result was , in the fullest sense of the word , disastrous-it was ruinous . Out of the thickly peopled district o < Griffintown , 600 persons have been sufferers , having lost , by this wide-spreading misfortune , house , home , and goods—and all these able-bodied men , and o ! matured years . If we estimate the
number of persons thrown upon the world by ; this event , we would conclude . tbat treble that number have heen the sufferers . The first notice of the fire was given by the persons . in the neighbourhood" of the . carpenter ' s shop where it originated—tbis was about the hour of four p . m . Upon arriving at the spot , a large timber-yard in Princes-street , surrounded by wooden palisades , was discovered to be on fire ; and Ihis event was the greatest stimulus to the flames that could have occurred under the circumstances . -The flames quickly spread thence into _Dalhousie-street , with-fatal succpss ; Wellingtonstreet shared in the conflagration , Prince ' s-street and Ann-Street . These five streets , forming a quarter of a mile in depth , were , in the course of fortyminutes , counting from the commencement of the fire , enreloped in flames .
