It behoves us to exercise some caution , for the only object is to put down the _Repuhlkws . It is not justice before whom I am called to appear . London March 3 , 1 S 4 S . CArssiMESs . In quitting Paris on the 23 th of August , I said that on the day of trial I would present myself before a jury , and ¦ that nothing in the world should prevent Uie from keeping ti : _^ s promise , the observance of Iris word being one of the
duties of an honest man and the virtue of a Republican . But in August I did not pledge myself to appear before a tribunal , constituted in November . In August I did not engage to present myself before an exceptional jurisdiction , created three months later by the very men who proscribed jne , and with the xiow of obtaining- my conviction l > y a retroactive measure , in contempt ofthe principles of eternal justice . Tlie decision to which the Xarioual Assembly , in contradiction with itself , has given rise , andthe indictment , which does not contain a single serious charge , aftbrd sufficient proof that evidence is notldng where poUtical passioiis are dominant rails is abandoned to the sway of force -more tli . ™ !¦»•«• . The scandal of arhitrarv arrests is
extreme . The counter-revolution is dominant and lurious ; under such _circumst-mees , and placed under tlie dominion of tiie most slianiefal injustice ever exhibited , I reserve to myself the right of deciding , if to serve my cause , I can do better than to throw myself into hands of my enemies . Uie day cannot be far distant when party hatred shall yield to tlie voice of truth . I protest and bide my timo . I Lave read the act of accusation , and feel my heart divided "between Indignation and pit-- - It state * ; tliat I Succeeded , on the 15 th of Mav , in escaping from the Hotel de Ville ;
fiat a rumour to that effect had been spread ; that , on the 35 th of May , far from _endeavouring to disperse the people , 2 felicitated it on baring conquered the right to petition ; ard a few lines further down I am shorn , advising ihe _jwo-* ple to allow the Assembly to deliberate freely - that , on the 331 * 1 of May , atthe Luxembourg , I held certain factious _lair-nage ; and the Mo * . Tn * nt shows tliat on tlie 13 th of May I was no longer at the Luxembourg , which liad been given tip to the executive commission . This is now called justice in France . I add no more . London , March 3 . Louis Blanc
[ We beg to express our cordial approbation of the decision expressed by Citizens Louis Blanc and Caussidiere in the above letters . Better remain in exile than commit themselves to the power of _their enemies—the enemies of Democracy—who , insensible to the principles of honour and jastice , would only be too happy to glut their hatred by adding the above-named patriots to their already long list of victims . ] Bourges , Wj-bxesday , March 7- —Long before the hour fixed for thc commencement of business , every avenue leading to the court , wbich is held in the Palais de Pacques Cceur , was thronged with ¦ persons anxious to obtain an entrance . The accommodation offered to the public was , from the small dimensions of the court , extremely limited . A large
detachment of _sergens _ds ville had come from Paris vrifb the prisoners , and remained to assist in carrying out the regulatious during the trial . Few military , except the local geadarmiere , appeared under arms ; all were , however , kept in readiness in case of need . Oa a table in front of that of the president lay the various articles seized , and which were brought fenvard in support of the prosecution ; amongst them stood out in prominent relief the casque and uniform of the pompier , as well as a large flag carried at the head of tbe invaders of the Chamber afterwards displayed at the Hotel de Ville . The jurymen , drawn together from all parts of France , come , some of tbem , a distance of 100 leagues . Among the company in tbe gallery were Mme . Bonne , the wife of one of the prisoners ; and the two daughters of the Mc-Genaral Courtais , and bis mother .
The jary , to the number of eighty-six , were drawn by lot . The members ofthe Council-General of the Cher were reqaired to be present . At a quarter before eleven o ' clock , M . de Berenger , the president , with the other judges , dressed in their official costume , entered the court and the proceedings _comraenKd . The decree of the _National Assembly was first read by M . Bavoch ? , tbe Procureur-Genera ! , declaring the constitution of the High Court of Justice j after which the names of thejury nere called over . The buissier called aloud the -name of M . Martin Bernard , representative of the _pesple ; and that gentleman- having answered , entered tbe _jurv-room .
At a quarter to one the prisoners were introduced , and seated with a gendarme between each They -vere all well-dressed , and on entering cast their eyes round the court , and sainted such of their acquaintances as they recognised in the gallery . Tbey ail appeared rather pale , doubtless from their long confinement , but did not seem much cast down , occasionally looking round with an air of the coolest iEd - fft > rence . Raspail . immediately on entering , occupied himself in taking notes . Tbe prisoners were then momentarily withdrawn , and recalled in the following order . '—Raspail , Sobrier , Barbes , Albert , Blanqui , Lai get . Qutntin , Flotte , Courtais . At half-past one the president and the judges again entered the court , and the names of the prisoners were called over .
Blanqui , on his name being pronounced , addressed tbe president , protesting against bei ? g tried by tbe exceptional court wbicb had been constituted for tbe trial , both in his own name , and in that of his fellow accused ; be therefore refused to take any part in the discussion . Albert said , on hearing bis name read , that be would not answer any question . Barbes did the sam _« , declaring that he would not recognise the compeleucy of the court to try hira . Sobrier gave Lis name and age , but declared tbat be should make no defence . Raspail said he was ready to _rejily under certain reservations ; and Flotie refused to reply-The President then addressed the jury , after winch Blanqui again rose , and complained that the eVar _^ es to be brought against the accused had not been communicated to them . Raspail next made a Bi ' naJar complaint .
Barbes again rose to protect in toto against tiie competency of the High Court of Justice ; but he was stopped hy the president , who said his remarks must be reserved until a future stage in the proceedings . The registrar of tbe court then commenced reading the indictment , -which enters into a long and detailed account of tbe procession along tbe _boulcva-ds lo the National Assembly , and of the invasion of the Chamber , the particulars of wbich are -sufficiently known to our readers ; and tben proceeds to state the conduct of Barbes on that occasion _, when be mounted the tribune and demanded
4 ns immediate irarching of an army to Poland , and the imposition of a milliard on the wealthy . It next details the conduct of Barbes on leaving tbe Chamber f or the Hotel de Tille , and there issuing a list of a new Provisional Government , and of bis arrest in that building in company w-ith Albert , Sonne , and Thomas . The indictment tben points out the part taken by each respectively in the affair ofthe 15 . h May . Caussidiere is represented as the author ofa plan concocted witb Sobrier to overthrow a part of tbe Provisional Govrrnment . « The coalition of these two men , ' continues tbe indictment , ' explains the manner in which the large quantity of arms and ammunition was divided between the Prefecture of Police and the house in tbe roe
deRiToli . The question was at one time discussed at the latter place of setting fire to the capital . Caussidiere recommended the manufacturing of fire-balls in the provinces , and allowed _Borme to try an experiment with some in the Court ofthe Prefecture . ' After some further details of mauers already wellinown , the indictment concludes as follows •— ' Considering that from the examinations and documents produced , there ara , first , against Blanqui , Flotte , Albert , Barbes , Sobrier , Raspail , Quentin , Degre , Larger , Borme , Thomas , Louis Blanc , Seigneurer , Honneau _, Huber , Lavirron , and Chancel , sufficient proofs of their having , in May , 1848 , been guilty of m attempt to destroy or change the Government , mi also for having attempted to excite civil war ill armone citizen against another ; and against

Coimais . _Caussidiere , and Villain for making themselves accomplices in the said attempt , having a knowledge of ail the facts connected therewith , orders them to be placed on their trial according o law . ' ... During ths reading of tbat part of the indictment . in which it is set forth that after Barbes bad demanded the imposition of a milliard on the rich , and tbat a voice exclaimed , 'It is not that we wantwe want two hours' pillage of Paris , ' all the accused rose in the greatest emotion . Blanqui declared in
the most forcible manner that no such proposition had been made ; Barbes _repeated a like contradiction , and denounced it as a falsehood and calumny . Raspail protested against it with the most animated gestures he designated it as an official falsehood , which it was disgraceful on the part of the _Procureur Gcneral to have inserted in the indictment . The _Procureur-General appealed to tbe President against sueh language . This incident causes a certain sensation in tbe court . Quentin afterwards rose , and protested against the calumnies uttered against tbem in tbe indictment .
"When the reading of tbe indictment had been completed , Barbes again rose to protest against tbe competency of tbe court , but was stopped b y the President , on which Barbes declared tbat he would not again enter the court -unless compelled . The names of the witnesses were then called over , and tbe court broke up at six o'clock . Tuubsdat , March 8 . — The court opened at ten o ' clock , when the attendance was again very numerous , all the tribunes being filled . On taking his seat , the President announced that tbe two prisoners Barbes and Albert having refused to be present at the sitting of the court , they had been summoned to attend in tbe usual form by tbe buissier ,
wbo then read the proces verbal oi his visit , ai _* d their refusal . The President declared that , as their presence in tbe court was absolutely essential to tbe ends of justice , he should once more command their presence , and that if tbey again refused tbey should be brought into court by force . The two prisoners were consequently in a few minutes led in by gendarmes , and placed in tbeir seats . Barbes was aot dressed witb the same care as on the previous day ; Albert presented precisely the same ap . pearance . Immediately on bis entrance , Barbes ,
addressing the President , said tbat , as he had been compelled to attend the court , he should refrain from taking any part in the proceedings , and refuse to reply to any questions that might he put bim . Bianqui complained that , from tbe crowded state of the bench on which he was placed , he could not take notes . A gendarme was consequently removed , in order to give him more room . Courtais addressed the President , declaring his acceptance of thejury and the court which had been constituted for his trial ; Borme and Deere , on the contrary , intimated that tbey would not accept it .
Raspail said : Gentlemen of the High Court , in _declining your competence , I only follow the course pursued in the Court of _Cassation . Your high jurisdiction is not consistent with the law , and you are the sole judges of its competence . The offence of the 15 th of May was committed in open day , and a fortnight would have sufficed to identify the guilty , and now ten months have passed over us in confinement without having been tried . This appears to me to prove tbat an excepriopal law has been made to reach us . The judicial power performs its usual _fractions . The Chamber of accusations might bave sent us before a jury . It bas done so and has discharged
its duty , but tbe National Assembly in directing our trial before you , an extraordinary tribunal , has voted a law and overthrown our institutions . When we applied to the Court of Cassation , we were told : "It was enough tbat there should be a decree of the legislative authority ; we are here to pronounce the execution of its decrees . ' Have we heen treated as persons guilty of a misdemeanour ? No , we have been treated as guilty of the blackest crime , as wild beasts , brought here in cases . And now , if we be
acquitted , who will recompense all our sufferings ? I will accept willingly tbe judges who ate now before me , because tbey have been appointed by . tbe Republic—that Republic to wbicb I am devoted . I , Raspail , whom they would prevent from being a representative ; I , wbo desired tbe happiness of tbe people , and wbo , if deceived , am ready to sacrifice myself on tbe altar of my country , it is I wbo am accused of having betrayed tbe Republic ! Raspail then delivered some written objections to the competence of the court , in which most of the accused joined .
Blanqui said : ' The invasion of the 15 th of May was only an unforeseen tumult , of which we have been the victims ; thus it was necessary , to meet the exigency of this auomalous trial , to create a jurisdiction more complying than usual ; and it has been done amongst the great proprietors , for the ardent de f enders of popular rights at Paris are not here represented , because they are afraid of Paris . ' It was determined tbat tbey should be brought before a tribunal where conviction Was not Onlv
certain , but where it was evidently desired that tbey should be torn and lacerated , as it were with the claws of a wild cat . The President here interposed recommending the prisoner to be more guarded in his language . Blanqui , bowing to tbe President , continued at great length vehemently to declaim against the illegality of the entire proceedings , and concluded by warmly protesting against tbe competency of the court before which he had been made to appear .
A gentleman dressed in plain clothes , wbo was seated amongst the counsel for the prisoners , here rose and addressed the President . The President ; In whicb quality do yon address the court ? M . Levy , the individual in question , explained tbat he was counsel for one of the accused . The President then accorded him permission to speak , which be did , by simply protesting on behalf of his client against the competency of tbe court . * Larger rose and declared that he adhered to the remarks made by Raspail . _Tlotte , by his counsel , said that he too protested against the competency of the court , without , however , adhering to all that had been said by Raspail . M . Riviere _aext addressed the court as counsel for Villain .
M . Baroche - How is it that you do not appear in your official costume ? M . Eiviere explained that he had not brought bis gown with him , as he expected to be able to procure one at Bourges , but , not succeeding , he had been forced to send to Paris for one , which had not yet arrived . ( Laughter . ) His excuse having been admitted , he limited bis address to an expression of the fact tbat bis client did not recognise the competency of the High Court of Justice . M . Baroche , _Prccureur-Geiieral , replied at some length to the complaints made against the judicial authorities , and contended tliat no delay uncalled for by tbe great number of witnesses to be examined and documents to be prepared had taken place in tbe proceedings . The sitting was suspended for
some time , during which the jury withdrew , and the prisoners were led out of court . At four o ' clock the jury returned to their seats , the prisoners were _brought in ; and the President and judges entered . The President replied at some length to the objections made by the accused to the competency of the'High Court of Justice , declaring it to have been in perfect accordance with tbe provisions ofthe laws , and in keeping with the letter and spirit of the Constitution . The President next quoted various articles from the Codes and the Constitution bearing on the point at issue , and then pronounced the judgment come to by the court , overruling all the objections brought forward by the prisoners and their counsel , and declaring its competence to proceed with the trial . The court then adjourned .
Fbiday , March 9 th . —A number of witnesses arrived this day ,- among tbem were MM . Buehf z and Flocon . At a quarter past ten the accused were introduced . Barbes , Albert , Sobrier , Raspail , Flotte , and Borme , svere not among them . The commissaire central , left the court , accompanied by eight er ten gendarmes , and a moment afterwards Borme and Sobrier arrived , followed by Albert and Barbes , tbe last two held under the arms by gendarmes . Raspail arrived immediately afterwards , escorted by police agents . Flotte alone was absent . It seemed tbat the aeents found bim in bed , and that he
refused to rise . At balf-past ten an officer announced the court opened , and all the accused arose , with the exception of Barbes and Albert . The President announced that Flotte , having refused to appear , he had given orders that he 8 houId be summoned . A clerk announced that Flotte had been found in bed , and without clothing of any kind ; and when summoned he answered that as he did not acknowledge the jurisdiction of the High Court , be refused to attend its sitting . He was summoned to sign , and refused . Tbe President having read the section of ihe law giving him power to use force in such cases , o dered thatllotte should he obliged to attend , and in ten minutes he was carried in by two gendarm _. s

He was placed on the bench of the accused , and immediately arose , saying , ' 1 declare— ' The President : 'Youhave not tbe parole . '—Flotte : 'I de . mand it . '—The President : 'You have not the parole . '— -Flotte : * 1 declare that I bave bad enough of your exceptional tribunal , of your royalist presence . ' —The President : 'Ycu have not the parole ; call the witnesses . '—Some discussion tben took place concerning . the witnesses , and some merely formal , and therefore quite uninteresting points , when Blanqui contended that the accused , according to law , could not be interrogated at the
commencement of the trial , aud that questions could only be addressed to them during the conlrontation with witnesses . He was overruled . Blacqui , Albert , Barbes , and Sobrier declared they would not answer . The President proceeded to interrogate Raspail , who admitted the jurisdiction of the High Court . He was accused of having marched at the head of his club to the National Assembly to present a petition in favour of Poland . He was asked , ' How did you enter tbe National Assembly V He answered , * Some tumult bad already manifested itself on the Place de la Concorde . As proved by the accusation , I did not arrive at tbe Assemblv until
an hour after it was invaded . I said to my club , ' In former times petitions were presented at the bar of the Convention ; the National Assembly has removed that bar to the tribune ; we must there peaceably deposit our petition . ' I tben entered the ball , which was crowded to excess . 1 recognised many men belonging to the police , and pointed them out to thejuge d'instruction , b \ it he would not follow tbe plan . I pointed out for again finding tbem The President himself and tbe representatives persuaded me to ascend the tribune , and to read tbe petition . After reading it I descended . '—The Procureur-General : ' When you ascended the tribune to read tbe petition , did you not hear protestations
in various parts of tbe hail against yonr presence m the tribune ?'—Raspail : ' I would have wished to bave seen you in my place amidst the tumult . I saw some few representatives move ; if I bad heard them , I would have answered that I was there to protect tbem and to empty the hall . It was impossible for me from the tribune to bear the 11 little squeaking voice of tbe witness _Adels-vard . If I had entered the Assembly to overthrow it , I would have said so . It was not the prison wbicb affi ighted me : it was the illusion . ' — -A juror : ' I know not
whether a j uror has aright to put a _qu-stion . —Tba President : 'You may speak . '—Juror' - ' I would ask the accused Raspail , in wbat manner he was introduced by the accused Courtais . ' — Raspail : The General said the delegates might enter , and having given my name , I entered . '— Blanqui : ' . The representative who came to say that the delegates of the club _miuht enter the Hall of Conference was citizen Xavier Durrieu . _' -Raspail : I knew it was some one who had authority . '—Tbe Procureur-General : ' M . Durrieu is called as a witness . '
The accused Courtais energetically defended himself from the accusation of having betrayed his duty . The court rose at six o ' clock . Saturday , March 10 . —The court sat at halfpast ten . Tbe President desired the witnesses to be called . — -M . Dagueaux , restaurateur , went t * > tbe house of Doulais on the 12 th of May , and there learned that a resolution bad been come to to make a manifestation on tbe 15 th , to carry to tbe Assembly a petition in favour of Poland . Had known some of the accused a long time , and particularly Blanqui , having been at his club in 1831 . —M _Bourquet confirmed the above witness . —M . Bandurau , civil engineer , said that in the central club ,
of which he was the vice-president , a resolution was come to to make a manifestation in favour of Poland on the 15 th of May . Tbat this manifestation was to be pacific , and respectful to tbe Assembly . That some men who were at the head of the cortege on tbe bridge at once changed its character . He went into the ball of the Assembly , and tbere saw Blanqui at the tribune . He then quitted the Assembly , and went instinctively to the house of Sobrier , in the Rue Rivoli , to obtain some information on the affair , but did not find him at home . — M . Dautriche made along and remarkable statement of occurrences at which he happened to be present . He was driven by the crowd almost to the court of
the Assembly , where he saw Barbes , Louis Blanc , and Albert round a large flag addressing tbe people . —At this , Barbes rose and defended Louis Blane , assuming himself all the responsibility of the address attributed to Louis Blanc—M , _Bertrovlid , a commissary of police , knew the greater part of tbe accused . He arrested some of them . On the 15 th of May he made a search tA the _. house of Yillani , where he seized many plans of machines . —Yillani said those plans bad no relation to political plots , and claimed their restoration . —M . Douet , a commissary of police , also made a deposition , but
containing no facts of importance . —M . Yon , commissary of police , was called , but was absent . —M . Dupin , tailor , gave a statement of tbe occurrences of tlie lath of May . He could not identify any of the prisoners , not even Raspail , whom he described as having worn on that day coloured pantaloons . — Raspail denied tbis , saying he never wore other than black . —M . Sanieski , a Polish refugee , said that on the 14 th of May he had been solicited to take part in the manifestation , and tbat be refused , saying it could only injure their cause . —Tbe court rose at six o ' clock .
_Mo-vdat , Mabch 12 . —The proceedings in the High Court of Justice , were resumed at half-past 12 o ' clock . The witnesses for tbe piosecution examined were Joseph Alceste , Pierre _Hyppolyte , and La Grange . Ernest Eugoin was also called on , but he declined giving his evidence , which he alleged he could not consistently do before the High Court , inasmuch as be considered its creation a violation of the Constitution . He was fined IOOf ., and his pre . vibus evidence before tbe examining magistrate put in and read . Dufrey , a secretary of tbe Assembly M . Yen , Commissary of Police ; and M . Bucbez , ex-President of the Chamber , were subsequently examined forthe prosecution . The Court adjourned at six o ' clock ,
Tuesday , Makch 13 . —The proceedings were resumed at half-past ten o ' clock . The tribunes were slill more _crowded than the day before , and the interest seemed to increase . The witnesses called and examined for 'the prosecution yesterday were MM . Buchez , _ex-President of the National Assembly , Etienne Arago , General Tampoure , Eugene Picard Delacour , Chef de Batailon of the 5 th Legion of the National Guard of Paris ; De Ballerouche d ' Adam , and Beaumont , Commandant of the Hotel de Ville on the 15 th of May . The Court adjourned at six o ' clock .
Wednesday , March 14 . —In tbe commencement of the judicial proceedings at Bourges yesterday , which were resumed at half-past ten o ' clock with a very crowded court , the prisoner Raspail banded in a written protest against the discrepancies of the report published by the Moniteur of the sitting of the National Assembly on the 15 th of May , and the insertion of expressions about the pillage of Paris , whicli it was proved by several _wif . nesses had not been uttered . He demanded that the author of the calumny should be punished . — The Court retired to deliberate on the incidents , and in a few minutes gave its decision—that as the words said to bave beeh uttered bad not been
attributed to Raspail or any of the prisoners , it was irrelevant to tbe affair . The conclusions of Raspail were therefore rejected Several witnesses for the prosecution were then examined , after whicb tbe Court adjourned . Trial and Acquittal of the Editor of * The People . '—The editor of Le Peuple was tried before the Court of Assize of Paris on Wednesday week , for having published , on the 2 nd of January , an article ' calculated to excite the hatred of the people against the government and against eacb other . ' The jury remained about twenty minutes in deliberation , and when they returned delivered a verdict of ' Not Guilty . ' The audience cried out , on hearing the verdict , 'Vive le Jury ! Vive la Repuhlique ! ' The President immediately ordered tbe court to be cleared .
Thb Forthcoming Elections . —The Courrier Francois says : —" -The democratic and social party has already made out its list of candidates for the elections of the Seine . The following , we are assured , is its composition . —MM . Ledru Rollin , Lagrange , Laraennais , Felix Pyat , Caussidiere , Ker . _sausie , Albert , Barbes , Louis Blanc , Baune , Dupoty _, Martin Bernard , Perdiguier , Lacambre _, D'Alton Shee , Proudhon , Pierre Lerroux , _Greppo _, RaspaiJ , Cabet , Eiquiros , P .

The Red Republic . —A Socialist famil y banquet , given by tbe inhabitants of the llth arron _* dissement , took place on Sunday at the Barriere de Sevres . Seven hundred persons , including a few women and children , attended . The company principally consisted of the leaders of the late clubs and chiefs ofthe Socialist party . M . Joly was the only member of the Mountain present . He made a speech , and repeated that the Socialist banquet of the non-commissioned officers did take place . A

commissary of police _demanded admission by virtue ofthe _lnw of 1790 and the decree of the Assembly of the 28 th of July last . He was refused on the plea that it was a family party , and not a club . He took a note of this ' violation of the _latv , ' and retired . More Persecution . —The Peuple slates , that a few df > ys ago fifteen ' ' non-commissioned officer-. ' were committed to the military prison ofthe Abbaye for having aitended a Socialist banquet . It add ? , that before they entered the prison , they cried , several times , ' Vive la Repnblique Democratique et Sociale . ' _
M . Delecluze the editor of La Revolution Democratique et Sociale , was tried and convicted in Paris on Monday last , for articles calculated to excit hatred against General Cavaignac and thc Nationa Assembly . He was sentenced to imprisonment for ' one year , and to pay a fine of l , 000 f . The War against the Bonnet Rouge . — The warfare against the Phrygian caps , ' those glorious emblems of liberty , ' as La Reforme terras them , continues as determined as ever . It appears that the centimes hitherto issued were cast in the old mould of Dupre , which represents the head of the Republic covered with a Phrygian cap . Orders are said to bave been given to remove from the coin that revolutionarv emblem . —Times .
Some disturbances took place at Blois oh tbe 5 th instant , in consequence " of the removal by tbe police of a bonnet rouge from a tree of liberty . The rappel was beaten , and the National Guard having taken arms , tranquillity was promptly restored . Letters from Carpentios , in the department of the Vauehan ; from Bartantarne , in the Bouches da Rhone ; and from Beyies , in the Rerault , mention that disturbances of rather a serious nature took place there on the 3 rd and 4 th _inatant , in _conse-, quence of an attack made by the Red Republicans on the Moderate party . The authorities finally restored order after somepersons had been wounded .
THE IMPERIAL APE . La Liberie states that M . Odillon Barrot assured a friend , some days since , that the President of the Republic has renounced all the financial and social reforms , the senseless Utopia , and impassible doctrines which are to be found in the various works composed by him during his captivity . La Liberie is of opinion that M . Odillon Barrot , in saying so , calumniated the President . —[ We are the other way of thinking .

The Way to Promote the * Extinction of Pauperism' !—A tumultuous scene took place in the Assembly on Monday , on the subject of tha _demand made by tbe Minister of Finance for an additional allowance of 600 , 000 francs a year to the President of the _Republic , to cover the expenses of his public receptions and entertainments . The uproar excited among the party of tbe Mountain was prodigious . After much uproar the point was carried by a majoritv of 77 .

THE ' HOLY ALLIANCE' AGAINST ITALY Paris , Monday . —The oaly news g iven by the Paris papers of this m _irning is contained iu a letter from Toulon , from whicb it appears tbat the French Government has renewed its intention of sending an armed expedition to the assistance of bis Holiness the Pope . For some time past it has been the evident intention of the Catholic powers that a joint intervention should take place in favour of his Holiness , and this exaedition will co-operate by sea , while the Neapolitan and Austrian forces , which have been for the last fortnight on the Roman frontier , will attack by land .
ITALY . THE ROMAN REPUBLIC—The Contemporaneo of the 28 th ult . announces that M . Mazzini was proclaimed member of tbe Roman Constituent Assembly on tbe 27 th . On the same day that assembly adopted the law on judiciary organisation wbich abolished all privileged jurisdictions , suppressed-the ecclesiastical tribunals , and established at Rome a Court of Appeal and a Court of Cassation . The Assembly next voted by acclamation a project of decree abolishing the Holy Office ( the
Inquisition ) and decided that a pillar should be erected on the site ofthe palace where it had been installed . The Minister of _Jinanee bad _e-rdered , -under the severest penalties , the deposit in the Treasury of all the funds accruing from mortmain property , which , by a decision of the Constituent Assembly of the 21 st ult ., were to be applied to tbe urgent wants of the country . Eight days only were allowed to effect that payment . It was reported tbat an engagement had taken place at Epitaffio , on the 24 th , between the Roman and Neapolitan advanced posts , the particulars of which were not known .
The Epoca of Eome states that 4 , O 0 Q Greeks , now in _Epirus , ready armed and disciplined , bave offered their services to the Roman Republic . TUSCANY . —The Alba of the 2 nd inst . announces that the Tuscans were in possession of the important defile of Correto , and that the troops of _Este still remained at _Castelnuovo-dei-Monti . No military movements towards the frontier of Tuscany were _observable in the Duchy of Modena . NAPLES AND SICILY . —On the 26 lh ult ., MM . Temple and Rayneval , and Admirals Parker and Baudin , went to Gaeta to settle with the King the ultimatum to be offered to the Sicilians , on the refusal of which the mediating powers would retire , and leave the parties to act for themselves .
The following were the conditions submitted to the King * . — -A general amnesty , excepting thirty leaders of the revolution , who were to receive passports ; the constitution of 1812 , modified ; one army only , with a Sicilian contingent ; independent parliament ; finances , municipalities , and tribunals * lieutenant to be named by the King , either a princeroyal or a Sicilian . The head of the household , the foreign affairs , war , and marine , to depend on the King ; a contribution of four millions of arrears , and one million of war indemnity to be made .
The following letter _fro-n Naples , daled tbe 27 th ulc ., appea s in the Gazette du Midi : — 'I have only a moment to announce to you the pacific conclusion of the affairs of Sicily . The Sicilians return to their allegiance to Ferdinand II ., who accords them s . full and complete amnesty and the constitution of 1812 , witb the modifications required by the present times . The day after to-morrow the French and English squadrons will take their departure for Palermo , where they are to instal the lieutenantgeneral and all the king ' s government . ' [ We advise our readers , before accepting the above as gospel truth , to wait a little longer , and ascertain for themselves what the Sicilians have to say to these arrangements . ]
Anticipated Renewal _< r the War in Lombardy . —The address of the Chamber of Deputies oi Turin , in answer to a speech from tbe throne , was presented to the king on the 5 th instant . Both the address and the royal answer expressed a firm determination to resume the war . Preparations for _re-opening the campaign are in active progress . Minister Buffa has published an energetic proclamation , inviting the Genoese to enrol themselves , and great numbers of horses are being bought up in Switzerland for the Piedmontese army .
A letter , dated Paris , Sunday evening , _saysi' The accounts received from Turin to-day are of the most warlike description . Active preparations are making for a new campaign , and troops are flocking to the frontiers of Lombardy . Several corp 3 of artillery , which were stationed at Turin and other places in the interior , have also been despatched to Novarre and Mortara . The rumour is current today , tbat hostilities have actually commenced between the Piedmontese and the Austrian * - ; but this is not likely , as the attack roust come from the side of the Piedmontese , and we have not yet heard of their crossing the Tessino . The general impression appears , however , to be that hostilities canHot be much longer delaved . '
Luters from Turin , ofthe 7 th instant , received in Paris to-day , announce that the King had appointed M . Ratazzi , late Minister of the Interior , to be Minister-at-War . It may be recollected that it was he who , in opposition to M . Gioberti , proposed

[ We have not much faitb in you , Charlie ; but if you stick to that vou will do . ] . Paris , Tuesday * , 6 . p . m . —Reported Rkcom-MENCEMENT OF WAR BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND Sardinia . —News has reached Paris this day , by telegraph , that war has recommenced between Austria and Sardinia . A modification bas taken placo in the iedmontese Ministry . Great excitement prevailed at Turin . Crowds paraded the streets , shouting , 'War , war ! Lead us against the Austrians . '
, THE WAR IN HUNGARY . ( From the correspondent of the Times . ) Vienna , March 5 . —Since the 26 th bulletin we bave received no further official news from the beadquarters of Prince Windischgralz , and V ? . _is silence makes people here afraid that matters are not going on so favourably for the Austrian arms as could bowished . Although our bulletins are quite silent as to the strength of the Hungarian army which took the field on the 26 th and 27 th of February , as well as to the names of its commanders , there is every reason ( o suppose that it amounted to 45 , 000 men , under the supreme command of General Dembinski .
SPAIN . The Fomento of Barcelona , of the 6 th , publishes a proclamation addressed by Cabrera to the insurgents of Catalonia , in which he announces bis resumption of tbe command , thanks them for their efforts , states that Navarre , the Basque provinces , Gallicia , and Austria second them , and that Aragon and Valentia will imitate them . He adds , that the King ( Count de Mortemolin ) promises institutions in harmony with tbe spirit of the times , and will support bis promises by the sword .
