France. Manifesto Of Tee Moustai*S.--«Th...
_FRANCE . _Manifesto of tee MousTAi * s _.-- _« The following are extracts from a manifesto of tbe Mountain in reference to the forthcoming _electasus : — ' We shall not form an electoral committee ; we shall not send out lists or _irogose -tames . Full of respect for the initiative of the -electors and the freedom of votes , we leave te these who possess the light the task of electing the _mea . But we consider it as a duty of conscience and party , as a sacred duty , indispensable even to the safety of the republic , _toteoall-sitb . the experience and authority which fads afford the principles which have served asa ru e ithe pastand which should so serve for the
inn , tare * The Constituent Assembly is nearly at an end , _henceforth its policy and its great _«* _WjJ * history . Its work , the Constitution , which admito the penalty of death are ! rejects the rightof labour 4 accept ' ! " judging iu We accept it in spite of its inconsistencies and imperfections-first , because at is the _prodactWB « f nniversal suffrage ; next , because it carries with it its own remedy in the first of its articles , that which allows the revision . Its policy has been illogical , like its work , violent in the interior , weak at the exterior , retrograde everywhere . In short , the Constituent Assembly has done
what it could ; it has been what was to have been expected . Executed by a people which had just thrown off royalty , bnt who were still under the yoke of misery and ignorance—two great tyrannies—it was naturally influenced by its origin , and produced imperfect measures . In February the people believed the words of those who came to them under the disguise of shepherds . They took these royalists , these liberals , these remnants of all reigns these men always on the surface ; and they deceived themselves with a confidence , a clemency which honours them , and which is explained by the
intoxication of success , their political noviciate , and especially the generosity of their hearts . But now the apprenticeship has been gone through , the lesson received , and the danger is flagrant . It is for the people to see to the legislature ; and it is time to do SOY They can now choose with the necessary information—they know now with whom they have to deal—they see who are their friends and their enemies . They know those who really voted the laws Of the « tate of siege , of transportation , of caution money , of at Iroupemenfs , of clubs , of octrois , of the eleven hours' labour , of the six hundred thousand francs—and they know the republicans who voted the _reduction of the salt-tax , of the postage , ofthe budget , and who voted also the preamble of the constitution . The people can , therefore , judge the old men by their votes , and the new men by the programme which has been published .
As regards foreign policy , in principle every nation Is free and sovereign . Royalty is a power which exists—the republic a government of right . Every nation which may haveneedof ns , which may demandfrum us assistance in recovering its nationality , should be able to count , in the limit of our resources , on our material and moral support , on our diplomacy and our army ; for the reason of Prance is the reason of liberty , and the army of France the army of liberty . Liberty , is not a privilege for us , it is a right for . all , and right has no frontier . In virtue of the principle of the unity of right and the unity of mankind , all nations are jointly responsible , citizens of the great human republic and as such , free , equal , and brethren , like
the citizens of the French republic France , then , can henceforth neither conquer nor enslave ; neither can she he a tranquil spectator , with arms in her hands , of the sad spectacle of slaves still struggling under the treaties of 1815 . Her principles , her promises , her p _« t , her _fut-we , her honour , engage her towards Poland , Italy , Germany , and Hungary , towards all those who resolve like her to break their chains . The kings besiege , bombard , and put to ransom Paris , at _Pfstb _, at Milan , Vienna , Warsaw ; the republic cannot be the accomplice of kings against the people . It is a crime to do that when it can be prevented . _' The monarchy said chacun pour soi , and it is dead ; the republic , which is the contrary ofthe monarchy , must live , saying chacun pour fous /
On the question of the domestic policy we find the following : In the interior , the same togic . The people should be free and sovereign . At this moment the people are not , it is true , subjects of a king , but they are still the subjects of ignorance and misery , those two last royalties , which are not unlikely to bring back the other . ' The man who is hungry is the slave of want ; the man of ignorance is the slave of error . He is consequently neither free nor sovereign . What is a sovereignty which cannot write its vote ? what a liberty which depends on Its bread ? Men then must be freed from these two servitudes ; they must be wrested from these two
imperative tyrannies , which have already twice caused them to turn universal suffrage against themselves—on the 10 th December , and 23 rd April : they must be enfranchised materially and morally , in mind and body ; they must henceforth only depend on their reason and their will ; their double want of comfort and enlightenment must be satisfied—the double nourishment ( man does not live by bread alone ) must be given them—in a word they must be improved and enlightened . How ? By labour aud instruction . All the republic is therein . The Republican Martyrs . — ( From the Times . )— ' The political convicts of Bourges passed through Paris on Friday morning at eleven o'clock
on their way to the citadel of Doullens , situated seven leagues north of Amiens , and which was used under Louis Philippe as a state prison . They arrived at half-past ten o ' clock at the Orleans station , escorted by forty sergents de ville , and 100 men of the gendarmerie mobile . Two companies of the latter had left Paris yesterday for the Sologne , to prevent any attempt at rescue being made by tbe numerous labourers belonging to the former ateliers nationaux of Paris , now employed in field works in that district . The cellular carriage in which the seven prisoners travelled also conveyed Huber , who ,
on arriving at the station , was transferred into another vehicle , and _* brought to the Prefecture of Police . The carriage containing the others , preceded by a regiment of dragoons , followed by a regiment of cuirassiers , and surrounded by a large detachment of horse gendarmerie , proceeded across the Pont _d'Austerlitz to the Place de k Bastille , thence along the Boulevards to the Porte St . Denis , and up the Rue de Faubourg St . Denis to the Northern Railroad station—all the avenues leading to which had been lined with troops of infantry from an early hour of the morning .
Socialist Basgvet . —A Socialist banquet was given on Sunday _ar the Rue de Martel . M . Joly , the Montagnard representative , presided . Another banquet was given yesterday , at one o ' clock , by the female Socialists of Paris . A banquet will be given at Passy to General Courtais , and the others who were acquitted at Bourges , on Sunday next . Red Republicanism in the Army . —Le Peuple states that a captain of the 24 th regiment of the Rue , forming part of the garrison of Bourges during the late State trials , has been placed on half-pay in consequence of his democratic opinions . The same journal adds , that an assistant-surgeon of the 42 nd bas been ordered to join a regiment in Algeria , and to quit Bourges in twenty-four hours , solely because be was seen to communicate with several democrats present at Bourges . The entire National Guard of Toulouse has been dissolved .
A letter from Macon , says the correspondent ofthe Times , states that the troops in that town forming * part of tbe army the Alps , who had been ordered to march to the frontiers on the commencement of hostilities between the Austrians and Piedmontese set out with the greatest delight ; but , having reached Nantna , their commanding officer received a telegraphic despatch , ordering him to march his troops back to their original quarters . On their return to _Magon on Saturday , the 31 st ult ., the _soldiers hurried into the wine shops and expended all their money in drink , and then , by way oi finale , broke everything they could lay their hands on in the shape of glass and crockery . They are said to have expressed themselves in rather a violent manner against the President of the Republic for the disappointment , and it was with difficulty their officers prevented a mutiny .
M . Proudhon . —It is reported that M . Proudhon , not choosing to pass the next three years in prison , bas escaped from France . Another Prosecution or M . Proudhon's Paper . --m . Duchen , the editor ot M . Proudhon ' s journal Le _-Pcajife _/ and M . Louis Menair , were tried on Saturday for having published a libel in a series otfeuilktons , entitled * Prologue of a Revolution . ' They were convicted , and M . Dachon was sentenced to three years ; and M . Louis Menair to fifteen month ' s imprisonment . They were further sentenced to pay jointly and severally a fine of lO . OOOf . -

The latter end of last week , M . Dosne , father-in-law of Thiers , died after a few hours' illness . The total number of cases up to Saturday evening in tbe nosn _* _tal <; was 1150 . of which 667 had died . had b ? en attacked with cholera , is pronounced out of danger . , ... . M Thiers has been very seriously ill , and considerable anxiety has been felt for the result . He is stated , however , not to be in danger .

Hopes and Schemes op the Conspirators . —The correspondent of the limes , writing from Paris , on Monday says : — * The Legitimists are in high spirits to-day ; indeed , at no period for many years past have they been so joyous , and , according to their own account , so full of hope . Electioneering agents have arrived from several of the departments , and they announce that public opinion is becoming every day more pronounced in favour of the restoration ef Henry V . The Ligitimists count upon returning 250 pure Royalists to the new Chamber , and they are now meditating an appeal to the nation to decide by Universal Suffrage whether the old monarchy shall be restored . The partisans of the regency , of whom M . Thiers is said to be the chief , are in the meantime not idle ; aud they prefer to believe that they will have a majority in the
new Chamber . An American Expelled prom Paris—The Hepublique of Monday states lhat Mr . Brisbane , an American socialist , who has taken a leading part in the socialist banquets of Paris , has received notice from the government to quit France within a delay ot forty-eight hours . The Vile French Government . —Le Peuple announces that the German refugees implicated in the events of Frankfort , who bad been removed to Verdun , have been thrown into prison by order of the Minister of the . Interior . A body of from . 200 . to 300 Hungarians and Piedmontese refugees and deserters have entered France by the bridge of the Var . Those who had arms have been deprived of them , and inarched to _Draguignaut
GERMANY . REFUSAL OF THE IMPERIAL CROWN BY THE KING
OF PRUSSIA ; The deputation of the Frankfort Assembly was received by the King this morning in the Rittersaal of theSchloss ; the President of the deputation , M . Simon ' s , ' in a short address slated the important object of the mission with which he and his _colleagues were entrusted , and presented to his Majesty the formal resolution of tbe ' National Assembly . The King immediately returned the following answer : — ' Gentlemen , the message you bring me has deeply moved me . It has directed ray gaze to the King of kings , and to the sacred and august duties I . have , as the King of my people , and a Prince among the
mightiest of Germany . A look in that direction , gentlemen , gives clearness to the vision and certainty to the heart . In the resolution you have communicated to me I recognise the voice of the representatives of the German people . Your vocation gives me a title the value of which I know how to prize . If accepted , it demands from me incalculable sacrifices , and burdens me with heavy duties . Tbe German National Assembly has counted on me in all things which were calculated to establish the unity , power , and elory of Germany . I feel honoured by their confidence ; and I am ready , by deeds , to prove that their reliance on my fidelity , love , and devotion to the cause of the country has not been misplaced ; but I should not justify that confidence—I should not answer to the expectations of the German peo pie—I should not strengthen the unity of Germany
—if I , violating sacred rights and breaking my former explicit and solemn promises , were , without the voluntary assent of the crowned Princes and free states of our Fatherland , to take a resolution which must be of decisive importance to them and to states which they rule . It -will now lie with the several governments of tbe German states to examine the Constitution which the National Assembly has drawn up , and declare whether it will be of advantage to all—whether the rights it confers on me will place me in the position to guide the destinies of Germany and realise the expectations ofthe people . But of this Germany may be certain , and you may declare it in every stale—that if it needs the protection of the Prussian sword , I will , even without a summons , not hesitate to follow that course from which my Royal House ha 3 never departed—the course of fidelity and honour . '
( From the Times . ) Berlin , April 6 . — Yesterday was a day of division and discord in the Chamber , amid which the Ministry escaped what would have been a vote of want of confidence hy each fraction of its opponents neutralising the other . The Extreme Right ? oted against the motion for an address , and against every amendment without exception ; the Extreme Left , for different reasons , did the same , * and the Centre , split into eight sections , could not , of course , get a majority upon any one of its motions . The stormy debate was closed by a scene of uproar . The speech of "Waldeck was the most furious he ever delivered , and , it must also be admitted , the ablest ;
there was a species of power in its audacity — in its total lack of respect or reserve as to anything . With the present Ministry , he held all addresses , all votes of censure direct or implied , all parliamentary tactics to be useless ; it was ready with its bayonets to set all such attacks at defiance . He denounced both the late and present Kings of Prussia , as having misunderstood and failed in their mission to Germany ; the only policy the House of Hohenzollern had ever understood was that of military despotism ; and hy developing the military system to its utmost extent , it had totally dissolved and severed the German empire , which it found in a state of decay . ' The spirit of the corporal's
stick was still the governing principle . Twice was the question put to Prussia last year whether it would place itself at the head of Germany—once in March and again in October , when at the siege of Vienna the call of deliverance echoed through the nation ; then the question was answered by the dissolution of the National Assembly ; now the question was put again , and answered by a refusal to recognise the complete validity of the German Constitution , though the House of Hapsburg was struck from the list of competitors for the Imperial Crown , not by its Sclavonian possessions , but its four bombarded capitals and its military executions .
The violent declamation of M . Waldeck was not calculated to allay the previous irritation . A brief and temperate defence byM . Manteuffel was scarcely listened to ; the close of the discussion was agreed to , and then occurred the outburst on M . Bodelschwingh denouncing the revolution ' asa mere street fight , ' which-compelled the president to suspend the sitting , ail order being confounded , th audience of the galleries taking part , by hooting and hissing , in what was almost an affray .
THE WAR IN HUNGARY . The following appeared in the Times and other papers on Friday week : —It appears that Bern has been beaten by the Russians , as was rumoured . After capturing Hermannstadt he was making his way towards Kronstadt _, when he was met by tbe Russian army , numbering from 30 , 000 to 40 , 000 men . This force attacked and beat him . The Polish and Vienna Legions are said to have been annihilated . Bern himself fled io Debreezin ; and five of his Polish officers , Prince Waroniecki , Wronski _, Podoletzki , Bilsky , and Dumansky , were taken and hanged . Comorn still held out , according to the latest accounts received .
The correspondent of the Times , writing from Vienna , April 3 rd , makes the following doleful confession of the falsehood of the ahove story : —Thus , the news which I gave about Bern's having been defeated by the Russians after the fall of Hermannstadt went the round of all our papers , and at last appeared in the Wiener Zeitung . Now , however , the whole affair is as positively contradicted as it was positively affirmed , and we are in doubt whether Bern is the conqueror or the conquered . It is a remarkable fact , that although the Wiener Zeitung and Lloyd of last night contradicted the intelligence given by one or two of their contemporaries as to the entrance of the Russians into Galicia , they do not say one word about their presence or absence in
Transylvania . Many persons positively assert that Bern has not only not been defeated by the Russians , but that he is at this very moment in Hermannstadt and that the whole of Transylvania is in the hands of the . Polish-Magyar army . The fortress ; of Comorn is not yet taken . The garrison consists ol six companies ofthe Alexander Regiment , two companies of the Prussian Regiment , eight Honved battalions , 700 Honved . Artillerymen , and about two squadrons of Hussars and - Czikos . The whole strength may he 10 , 000 , The commanders ofthe fortress we Kossuth ' s brother-in-law , _Messleny , and a certain Mockoff , a simple cannoneer before the outbreak of the rebellion , who now glories in the title of _Lieutent-iolonel .

Victories of General Bem . —Our letters from Vienna of the 4 th not only contradict the report of Bern's defeat , but state him to be complete master of Transylvania . Bem captuied Hermannstadt , and took 1 , 000 Russian soldiers prisoners in it . The town was neither sacked nor maltreated in any way . Bem after taking Hermannstadt marched to Kronstadt , which the Russians evacuated without resistance . In fact , they were starved out of Transylvania ; and they stayed as long as there were
provisions or money . But the impossibility of transporting provisions from Wallaehia compelled them to retreat . The Saxon municipalities of Kronstadt and Hermannstadt , that five weeks ago signed a requisition to the Russians , as soon as Bem took these towns , drew up immediately an address of thanks to the Hungarian government at Debreezin for having delivered them from the Russians , who levied 1 , 000 florins per day in each town . Puchner has been driven into Wallaehia . —Daily News .
In Hungary , the insurgents have gained new strength by the publication of the Austrian constitution , by which the Hungarians would be subject to the same system of taxes as the German Austrians . In several villages the inhabitants burnt down their houses when tbe Austrians arrived , and the Magyar army is continually increasing . The first act of Bem at Hermannstadt and Kron-i _stadt was to publish a general amnesty . On the 29 th the Imperialists , under General de Welden ,
attempted to take the fortress of Comorn , but were beaten back as far as Gran , after having sustained considerable loss . The garrison took possession of the besieging artillery , and took one battalion prisoners , after having routed the enemy , and driven them to a considerable distance , Tbe ground in front of the fortress was strewed with the killed . There is no longer a corps of observation near Congo . The Wempfen battalion of Italian Grenadiers went over to tbe victorious Hungarians . .
Vienna , April 5 . —To-day a courier has been sent to St . _Petersburgh , to request a fresh succour , 60 , 000 men , it is said , to act against Bem . If these troops are granted tbey will be obliged to take their way by Galicia , as Transylvania has only four pas sagas by which an army can cross the mountain . These passages are occupied by Bem ,
THE DANISH QUESTION-COMMENCEMENT OF HOSTILITIES . Accounts from Hamburg of the 4 th inst , state , that reports had reached that city of hostilities having been commenced by the Danes landing 10 , 000 men on the _Sundewitt . After a slight collision with the Schleswig-Holsteiii troops , " the latter witbdiew , and the Danes took possession of the _Gravenstein , A few were killed , and about sixteen wounded . The Danes , to the number of 15 , 000 men , it is said , also entered _Sphleswig from Jutland , when the insurgent troops of the duchy retired , and the Danes were left in the occupation of Hadersleben .
A letter from Flensburg , of tbe 3 rd , confirms tbe above intelligence , but g ives the number of the Danish troops at 6 , 000 only . The skirmish lasted an hour and a half .
DESTRUCTION OF THE DANISH MAN-OFWAR 'CHRISTIAN VIII ., ? AND CAPTURE OF THE STEAM-FRIGAfE 'GEFION , ' BY THE GERMAN BATTERIES AT ECKRENFORDE . On the eveniEg of the 4 th inst . a Danish flotilla , consisting of the line-of battle ship Christian VIII ., eig htyrfour guns ; the frigate Gefion , forty-two ; the brig St . Croix , and the steamers' Geyser and Skerner wereobservedapproachingEckrenforde . Atnightfall the flotilla cast anchor off Noer , in the hay . On the following morning , at Ave a . m ., the brig and one of the steamers got under weigh , taking an easterly direction * , at seven a . m . the other vessels weighed ,
and with a light breeze sailed into the port of Eckrenforde _, where they opened a brisk fire on the batteries on shore , which was equally well replied to , the firing never ceasing till one p . m . The fire of the northern battery was silenced by the welldirected fire of the Geyser . At one p . m . the Christian VIII . ran aground in the inner port , and the rudder of the Gefion was shot away . A parliamentary flag was hoisted , and a notification sent to the effect , that if the batteries on shore would cease firing , so as to allow the vessels to retire , the town wouldba spared ; if not , it would be reduced to a heap of ashes . This was rejected ; but a truce of two hours was agreed upon by bis . Highness the Duke of Saxe-Cobourg Gotha .
At five jmh . the Rang recommencpcl _, lhe batteries firing _red-hot balls , which set the Christian VIII . on fire . The crew in vain endeavoured to extinguish the flames , and thus the Danish colours of an _eighty-four-gun ship were lowered to a four-gun _Schleswig-Holstein battery . At a quarter past seven the vessel blew up with about 200 of the crew on board , the remainder of the crew having got off , and surrendered themselves prisoners . The Gefion shortly afterwards hauled down her colours , and the German standard was hoisted in their stead . It is difficult to imagine what the real object of the Banish commander can have been . With the wind blowing right in shore , with no intention of effecting a landing , he risked the safety of the flotilla entrusted to his care .
Captain Meyer , the commander of the Gefion , is reported to have blown out his brains .
ITALY . The Piedmontese Gazette of the 2 nd inst . states that certain intelligence has been received from Milan that , by a new arrangement between General Radetsky and the Piedmontese government , the citadel of Alessandria will not be occupied by Austrian troops . The Concordia oi Turin of the 2 nd states that a popular movement has broken out at _Albertville . Asti , Cuneo , Alessandria , Vercelli , and Casale have openly avowed their opposition to the terms of the armistice .
Insurrection at Brescia and Recapture and Destruction of the City by the Austrians . —The Pensiero Italiano of the 31 st ult gives some additional information concerning the insurrection at Brescia . The citadel , according to this account , continued to fire upon the town during the 24 th and 25 th , but on the 26 th it was taken by storm , and the garrison put to the sword . Letters from Turin announce that the city , of Brescia has been recaptured by the Austrians , after an obstinate resistance . A contribution of 5 , 000 , 000 lire has been imposed on the inhabitants .
Some accounts say that unfortunate city is burnt to the ground ; others , that after being battered for three days with the heavy siege pieces brought on purpose from Peschiera ( the very cannon the Piedmontese had left there last year , and which were to have been returned to them ) , besides dbusses and other artillery , tbey were still fighting in that part of the town not yet . destroyed , the Austrians being obliged to besiege , as it were , every street and house , so desperate was tbe resistance . Bergamo had also revolted , but had been subjected by an overflowing force in two days . A whole division , besides artillery , had been sent by Radetsky to enforce submission in these disturbed districts .
The Opinione , of Turin , of the 5 th , states that Brescia , containing 35 , 000 inhabitants , is a heap ef ruins . The town was covered with barricades rising to the second stories ; They were taken at the point of the bayonet after a fearful struggle-Every inch of ground was disputed with rage . The massacre was great on either side . One general has had his leg amputated , a colonel has been killed , and many officers have fallen , The account in the Opinione states , that the victors began to piland commit
lage excesses of every kind . The inhabitants who had survived the carnage entrenched themselves in the houses , they were set on fire , and all perished in the flames . Never since 1542 , when Brescia was taken by assault by the French , under the orders of Gaston de Foix , has a similar disaster been witnessed . The victor , adds the account , has imposed a contribution of six . millions upon this heap of ruins , which once was . a town . Como , on hearing of the fall of Brescia , laid down its arms .
, INSURRECTION AT GENOA . , ;; . ' We announced in our last number the popular ex . citement at Genoa . We have only unconnected scraps of intelligence , which we give in the order received . The Genoa Gazette , oi the 31 st ult ., states that the clergy of the city have taken arms , and many priests were preaching in the churches with a cru--jifix in one hand , and a musket in the other ,
admonishing the people not to acquiesce in slavery . Private letters from Genoa , of the 2 nd instant , state that tbe National . Guards of that city had driven out the garrison , and had _takeiupossessipn of the fortifications . . A Committee of Defence had been formed , invested -with unlimited powers ; composed of _GeneraVAvaazana , the Deputy Constantin Reta _, and the Advocate David Morchio . They had addressed General _Fanti _, commanding a brigade of Lombards , offering to receive the troops under bis

orders . They published an address to the deputies lately dismissed at Turin to resume their sittings at Genoa . They declared their determination not to separate from Piedmont , but that they would not recognise the armistice concluded with Marshal _Ra-On the 2 nd , after a murderous combat , which lasted for several hours , the Piedmontese General de Azarta , who had the command of the garrison , was obliged to capitulate . The combat commenced on the evening ofthe 1 st , about four o ' clock , ' and continued without interruption during the whole of the night , the inhabitants having been forced by the inilluminate their bouseshi order to
surgents to , enable them to carry on their operations . Both sides seem to have fought with great energy ; and , in consequence of the strong positions he'd by the troops , the result was for a long time doubtful ; but at length , towards ten in the morning , General de Azarta , finding that the strength of the insurgents * as rather increasing than diminishing , while he himself was cut off from all hope of reinforcements , was obliged to capitulate . The lives ofthe troops were spared , and the whole of the men were allowed to quit the place , with their' arms , and with all the honours of war . There are , consequently , ' troops now in Genoa , which is entirely in the hauds of the
insurgents . Genoa declared in a State of Siege . —A royal ordonnance , dated the 3 rd , declared Genoa in a state of siege , and appointed General La Marmora to the command of the place , with all authority , civil and military . Orders had been given at Turin for the despatch of a large quantity of artillery audinfantry for Genoa . 8 , 000 troops had already started to join General de la Marmora . Reported Re-Capture of the City . — Paris , Monday Morning . —The French government has received a telegraphic despatch , which announces that General La Marmora entered Genoa on the 6 th instant , at five o ' clock in the afternoon , after a combat in the streets , He had previously taken some of the fortifications .
The chiefs of the insurrection have taken refuge on board the French and English ships . THE ROMAN REPUBLIC _.-The news of the defeat of Novarra having been known -at Rome on the . 29 th ult ., the Constituent Assembly has named a triumvirate with unlimited _powers , composed of _Atuellini , Saffi , and _Mazzini .
SPAIN . Madrid , April 4 , —The ex _^ King Charles Albert is in Spain , having arrived at St . Sebastiani from Bayonne , on the evening of the 2 nd ; an event which was telegraphed' to tbe government yesterday from Tolosa . He is staying incognito , under the title of Count of Barges , and intends , it is stated , to embark at St . Sebastian for Lisbon ; but his ultimate destination is said to be the United States . - A courier was tent- ' off to him ' yesterday by this government , with the offer of an _asylum in any part of Spain which he might select as a residence .
CANADA . The Rebellion Compensation Bill was finally passed by the House of Assembly on the 6 th of March . The Quebec Gazetle , " m refutation ofthe charge that the bill has been imposed by a French Canadian majority , gives these statistics of the divisions upon it : — 'The four , first resolutions were carried by yeas fifty-two , nays twenty ; and among the yeas are twenty-eight English ( including Irish and Scottish ) names : the fifth resolution , the principal one , by yeas forty-eight , nays twenty-three ;• twentyfour English names being found aihong the former : the sixth , by yeas forty-eight , nays twenty-four ; the English votes beirg , in this single instance , equally divided . Oh the division at the second
reading of the bill , embodying the whole , there were twenty nays , and forty-six yeas ; twentyibne of which , constituting a sufficient majority , were English . So much for ' our French masters . " Memorials are to be poured in up-m the Queen , to induce her to withhold the royal assent . There was a rumour at Washington , on the 18 th , that an outbreak bad commenced ; but it was not credited , and is only worth mentioning to explain an authentic declaration which the United States government is said to have elicited—that General Wood should proceed . to the frontier the moment it should be necessary , and promptly put down any attempt at sympathising interference by citizens of the Republic .
WEST INDIES . From Jamaica we learn a most important measure of reform was being agitated . Tbe city of Kingston had taken the initiative in advocating the propriety of applying to her Majesty , praying her to grant tha island a constitution similar to that of Canada and the other North American provinces . Very large and influential meetings bad been held on the subject .
On the 5 th of March there was an insurrectionary riot in St . Lucia . The Governor and Council were temporarily besieged in the Council chamber . The police and special constables being ineffective to suppress the riot , the troops were called out . The insurgents then attacked the military with stones , who , after the special constables had retreated , firpd on the mob , and dispersed the disaffected blacks . A great many arrests were made , and order quickly restored ! The weather was highly favourable in all tbe West Indian islands .
Birthday Of Maximilien Robespierre. •On ...
BIRTHDAY OF MAXIMILIEN ROBESPIERRE . On the evening of the Cth inst . a select company of ultra-democrats assembled to commemorate thc birthday of tlie martyr , Maximilien Robespierre . A substantial supper of old English fare having- been done justice to , and the tables cleared , that staunch proletarian , James Grassby , was appointed chairman ofthe meeting .

Thc number of cases in the different civil and military hospitals , from its first invasion , has been , according to tho Union Medicale , 1 , 009 , of whom 503 have died .

Within the last two days there have been 80 new cases , which make tho total amount to 419 , among whom there have been 279 deaths . It is not only the infirm and incurable that arc attacked ; thc ward for lunatics , which is filled with women of all i _^ gcs , furnishes an equal number of victims . The persons employed in the infirmary and ' other parts of tho hospital have been attacked in great numbers , and two outdoor students in medicine have very nearly fallen victims to their zealThe

All the women who aro able to leave the establishment will be desired to return to _tneir _iamilies ; and as long as they remain out they will receive a daily relief of 75 centimes .
