Proclamation Of The French Constitution....
PROCLAMATION OF THE FRENCH CONSTITUTION . _]_ 3 inauguration of tte new Constitution WM celebrated by » grand _fae j n toe Plseec ' e Ia Concorde , ro Sunday last . The weather waa extremely _unfavourable , a heavy fall of snow havine ushered in the _ejorieus da ?* Nevertheless early in the morning the \ % ppcl was beaten in every quarter of Paris , and _reg - _ments of troops of the line , Gardes _Nationals and _jIob'de _werefeenmarchiDgto the different _stitions _ttsgj . ei to them in tbe Place de la Concorde asd the Champs _Elysees . The preparations made for the _jgjeraony were extensive . An elegant tent , composed of crimson velvet and gold , was' erected before th e gate of tbe _Taileries gardens , known as the Punt
• j _" ottrc 6 _M , unaerwmctt had been built a temporary altar , en which the Archbishop of Paris was to _cele-{ _jrate fflsss . On both sides of this chapelleimprovisee were _estradw _, reaching nearly the whole length of the railing of the Taileries , with rows of benches appropriated to the reception of the Assembly and Executive Power , and those individuals who were attached to or invited by the great men who were te figure in the ceremony . Supplementary benches were also put up within the gardens , access to which eonld onlv be had by procuring tickets from the Prelect of Po'ice , who , as usual , waa grand master of the ceremonies for the day . The Place itself was lined on all sides with , _regular , troopi . Poles had been erected all wand , from the tops of which
streamed scores of tncoloured orinammea , whilst on the pedestals were placed escutcheons bearing the names of different departments of France , surmounted with tricoloured flags , grouped taBtefnlly around , the whole connected by garlands of artificial ffowera and _evewreene . Had the weather been more propitious the tffcet certainly would have been brilliant . As it was , a eold grey Bky and heavy snow naned . not only the appearance of the thing , but damped to a certain extent the spirits ofthe people . It wss cnrioDS __ to hear tha different comments made on the proceedings of the day . Seme complained of the expenditure , and with bitter smilea recounted the history of their personal miseries , contrasting tha grandeur of the preparations with the reality-of
the national position . Others , again , were employed in _ipecalat-nr ; on the probable duration of the new ttate of things , and jokingly referring to the many ceremonies of the kind they bad witnessed in their day . AU were looking vain ' j for a break io the cloud ; , and not a few auguring bidlv ofthe euenir oi the Constitution , ushered In as it wu by such _di-mal _weather . At length the cannon of the Invalides announced to the frozen spectators that the National Assembly had left i 8 palace , and was proceeding across the bridge to the place appointed for ita reception . Aceordioely , the members made their appearance in procession , preceded by the Chief of the Eiecntive Power , his Ministers and staff , and slowly wended their way to the tented seats prepared for
AU the members of the Chamber wore tricoloured _icsrvea and ribbons in their button holes . Amongst them was a negro deputy from Martini que . When these gentlemen were all seafcd . a _m-. vement was observed at the entrance of the Rue Nationale ( ci devantlbyah ) . Thia was caused by the procession of the clergy from the Madeleine , to the number of at least five hundred ( all blaok robes inclndedhthe rear being brought up by the Archbishop of Paris in full canonicals , accompanied by five or six bishops , also in full ersiame , -w ' _. th mitre on head and crosier in hand . Thin procession excited rather % critical feeling among the working men , who gave way to all kind of good-natured raillery against the poor cures , criticising their costume , their actions , tbeir numbers ,
line of march , and everything , Therewas abundant evidence that the people cared little or nothing for the religions portion nf the programme , nor for those who were to perform in it . The procession approached the chapel chanting psalms , and was received by the Ministers , and presented to tfae President of the Council , who proceeded to read the Constitution to the assembled thousands ; the troops presented arms , drams rolling , artillery thundering , and people shouting 'Vive la Republique , ' 'Vive la Constitution . ' Thia part of the ceremony performed , the Archbishop proceeded to say mass , in which he was assisted by _biSBuSragaES _, and a brilliant corps of clergy attired in all the pomp wbich the Roman Catholic church ia accustomed to display on all solema occasions . At the elevation of the h = _st aU the troops _aj-ain presented arms , tbe drums rolled , and tbe cannon resounded once more . The religions procession now resumed
its march back to tbe Madeleine , and the legions of the National Guard oi Paris and of tbe departments began to defile before the members of the Assembly and the Chief of the Executive Power . General -Cavaignac , and M . Marrast , President of the National Assembly , descended from their tribune , and taking their station at the foot of the steps leading np to the chapel , received the _salutatieng of the legionsastheymarohed by . with colours flying , drums _beating , and bands playing the ' Marseillaise , ' the Chant des Girondins _, " and other national and spiritstirring strain ? . The people joined the line of march in true Paris style , _shanting * Vive la Sepublique , ' vrith _e sincerity and determination which was highly _Eicitinp . The _National Guard nnder the command of Citizen Gninard , maintained tbeir character by shouting 'Vive la Republique _Democratique et Socials . '
The correspondent of the _Tiubs . in the course of his _aocennt of the fete , saje , * Another ( the & h ) legion of Parisian National Guards is now _passing more _nnmecous than the others i have mentioned . I thonld not , perhaps , have stopped to look at them were not iny attention attracted by lead cheering . Thia I found to proceed from a very large body of _men-m llottse _, of thereat Republican type , who accompanied them . The reason fer _this-Sisplay of popularity is . I was informed , that at _leaat-a , _&/ 9 men of this ( the 6 : h )
Legion were disarmed after tbe insurrection of Jone , and that last week 1 , 503 _emiets were again distributed to them lo tbe great displeasure of persons who saw danger in that proceeding . It was replied , however , tbat after a severe tnvestteaticn it was deemed safe and expedient to restore their arms to that ntHsber of those who had _teen deprived of them . The belkf that tbat Legion still-continues to profess ultra-Republican feelings ib , I ¦ cm told , the reason Vhy they are cow cheered by the men en blouse who accompany them /

Proclamation Of The French Constitution....
On Monday at the church of St Mary a funeral service was performed for the Vienna victims , which was attended by the democratio Germans , Hungarians , Poles , and _I'aUana at present in Paris . A numerous body paraded the Faubourg St Martin on Monday evening weitiae immortelles ( funeral flowers ) in memory of the insurgents of Vienna , or as a protest against , the Constitutioni There was a considerable pnblio excitement last Monday in Paris . Very animated and noisy groups collected on the Boulevards and in the gvden of the Palais Royal , where they were addressed by orators . The French funds fell considerably , and closed with apparently unfavourable anticipations on the part of the _epeculators . Various causes conspired to lead to _thisre'olt .
THE RED REPUBLIC . Paris , Thursday . —A manifesto appears to day in La Rbfobub , La _Kepgblhjue , and the other organs , of the _Montagne , wbich is signed by fifty-six members of the _Assembly of that body , including M . I > dm Rollin . This manifesto , which ia entitled , ' Declaration aupeuple , ' is a sort of declaration of principles , _inteaaed , no doubt , as a sketch of what 'be party would have desired the Constitution to be . It is divided into several sections , under the titles : ' General _Principles . ' 'Education , * 'Tan tion , " Credit , ' and ' Association . ' The subscribers say that they adopt with pride the name ofthe Mountain :
H-lrg ofthe Mountain , we glory in that aame ,. to which w- _ctuld no : aspire , and which oar adversaries have bestowed en oa aa a reproach . We adopt it modified by the aided means that time and science have acquired to it ; we adopt the political aad social principles of onr predecessors thdr profound love for jastice , and the people , their virtuous bate against privileges and aristocracies , the courage of their devotion and their faith In tbe fatare . Oar principles , oar votes , and oar actions , shall prove whether ws ar oar enemies have mo 3 t at heart the _sentiments cf _jartioe and humanity , whether nn them or on as has devolved the heritage of bloody tradition ; we who , In the ardonr of onr democracy , have willed tha abolition of the _sctfiald , or they who , in tha Oilm of their moderation , would and have maintained It . This manifesto concludes with tbe following Bum mary of tbe requisitions of the people :
Unity of _power—dlstinctiaa of _fanc-. _Ioas—llbsrty of thought— -liberty of meeting and association—gratuitous education—the revltion of the laws as to military service—tbe immediate abolition of the taxes of primary necessity , such as salt , wines , _ts—the reform of the _lacome-tax , octroi and patents—ths establishment of a proportional and progressive tax on net Ineoms—the repurchase by the state of railways , canals , _mlaes , & o . — _administrative , judicial , aad penal reforms , gratuitous justice , tbat is , the amplifying forms and reducing the costs—ths ' droit aa travail '—credit—association . In fiae , peaceably aad progressively ail the _coa-eqasnees of the three great principles of the revolution—Liberty , Eqaality , and Fraternity—that Is , the government of all , by au , and for all .
It appears that the Republicans of Orleans , feeling indignant that the Jodrsal n ? LoiBET , the Rfi » publican organ of t ' aat city , should have advocated the candidature of Prince Losis Napoleon for the Presidency of the Republic , have withdrawn their support from tbat paper , and have established the _Isdefbkdkhi ou LoiRET on true Republican principle ? . A socialist and democratic banquet took _pl-ce a few days ago at _Lapalisse , department of the Allien A toast waa given to 'the _Republic of the proletairc —to the Red Republic ? ' After the fea * t the guests oromenaded the streets with drams and _fligs _, roaring revolutionary eea _^ s . and shooting ' Ling live Barbes and Lrdra Rollin ! Down with Cavaignac V The first deputy mayor and tome of the members ofthe Municipal Council of Cosset were present at the banquet .
Another democratio _banqnetlhas taken place at the Barriere du Maine , at one frano a head , at which nine _representatives , members of the Mountain , attended . On entering they were received with cries of' Vive la Montagne ! ' M . Louis Blano was declared honorary president os the occasion , and waa represented by an empty chair . The vice-president , M . Vincard , acted . All the usual toasts were _given _,-j * ith which the public are already familiar , and in which the name oi the Mountain was effectively repeated .
• _nra bntjbmcan _fbisoi « rs . a On Saturday M . beville presented a petition signed by 2 , 000 pupils of Paris , praying for an amnesty in favour of the Insurgents of . May and June . It was referred to the committed on petitions .
GERMANY . STATE OF VIEKSA . _TheBssstAu _Gsasrrs of the 4 th states that ihe leader of the _Academis Legion had been arrested , together with an aide-de-camp of General _Mesieuhaseer . General Cordon bad been appointed Governor of the city . The same paper has the following accounts , dated Vienna , the _2-d _inBt .: — ' General Bern and the Commandant of the city , M . Messenhauser , have hitherto escaped arrest . Of the imraeme number of prisoners eome thocs & _nds will within a short time take part as soldiers in the campaign against the Hungarians . This will prebably -be the lot of aH the members of the Academical Legion who have taken a prominent part in the rebellion . The _oammnnication with tbe _Bnbatbs is very much hindered , « aiy provisions are allowed to pass without any difficulty . '
_BECGX OF TERKOE . Vie 5 ha , Nov . 3 . —The spirits of the Viennese , of si ] parties , are quite cast down . The soldiers _eccopy all tha streets and public _plases . The Create have pillaged the faubourgs . It is not true , as asserted , that the people set fire to the Imperial Castle ( Burg ) , and Windischgralz _tos wrong in saying so in his dispatch . It was merely a pretext to make arrests . Lists of proscription are being ciroalaud , in which appear some Radical journalists and officers of the Academic Legion . Several , it is said , are already arrested , and _orter * haveixiied themselves indtspair . The system of espionage is extensively carried on . No one can leave the town , the deputies even being refused _passports . Yesterday Jellachioh made a triumphant procession through the city , at the head of his' Red Mantles . ' The appearance of these soldiers in their chequered uniform caused a very disagreeable
im-*» e _* sion . Nothing certain is yet known as to tbe number of killed on the side of the Viennese . It is said to amonnt to as _manyes 1 , 500 . The army has also lost a great number of soldier ? , and Eaany officers , but it is forbidden to the officers to disclose the
amount . The Ct mmon Council issued a prochsnation on the lib , _notifying the fact that _Windisebgrarz had made the restoration of the free _iatereonrse between the city and the _subarbs dependent on the apprehension of the following five proscribed individuals . Pcieky , Bern , _Meesanbaaser , Fenneherg , and Seta te . The council accordingly enjoins those who may be harbouring those persons to deliver them up within six hours , under owi of being brought before a court martial .
A cat-respondent of the _Eolsicchb _Zeito . tc , in a letter dated Vienna , the 4 'h instant , gives a very gloomy account ofthe present state of the city . According to his statement , a very sombre despair , _bsfSing description , pervaded the minds of the inhabitants of Vienna . A great many atrocities had been committed by the Croats , and a good deal of plnndering bad taken place . The number of houses burnt down in the _Leopoldst & dt alone , during the eiege , was fifty-nine . _Accerding to a letter in the Kouascn ** Z _** iT * J 50 « f the 6 th , arrests were continually going on . It was _reoorted aa an undoubted fact , that a great number
ot students had been incorporated with the military , and even in the very lowest ranks . Professor Fu'ter , one of the members of the Austrian Diet , a favourite of the suburbs and the idol of the Academical Leg ' on , was said to have been arrested . The dead list in the general hospital gives the number of killed on the part of the Viennese a * 413 . Tha troops had suffered much more , even according to the testimony of their officers , and it was believed that their Iobb amounted to several thousand killed . The number of -rounded was also very great . The army concentrated round Vienna was estimated , according to recent reports , which aregiven as good authority , at 106 GOO men .
The Spksxrschs _ZsiveKO states , under date of Vienna , the ih inst .: — 'To-day , early in the naming , the deputies of the Frankfort Left , Robert Blam and _Frabel . who continued to preach insurrection a 3 hte as the day _eefore yesterday , were arrested inthe London Hotel , and taken to the headquarters at _SetSabnmu . The Chief of the Aula , _ProftEBor _Fuster , who at the dissolution ofthe Aula exclaimed that tha return of the dynasty to Vienna ought _cerer to be allowed . General Bern , the Chiefs of the National Guard , Messenhauser aad _Fennebere , were also arrested . The commander of the Academical Legion , M . Aigner ( an artist ) committed suicide by shooting himself . Tfae same was _reported of several other individuals who were deeply implicated in the late insurrection . ' According to a statement in the Gaxsta . Kbakgwska , General Bern had effected his escape to Hungary :
bloody _Aiaccmss . The Truss own correspondent —» wreteh " who glories is the destruction of tha friends oi liberty , gives the following account of a few of the murders committed by the _counter-revolutionists : —* As for the punishment of tbe offenders , I can give yon merer ** * the accounts I hear from officers that have _returned from the city . It appears that a great many _students and workmen have been discovered in their hiding" 9 ~ ux _» , » nd confined in large buildings , where they ¦* •« strictly -warded and where the incensed soldiers treat them with great brutahty . _Lwt night an at .

by court-martial and carried off to immediate execution . Sixteen of them were shot on Thursday , aBd eleven yesterday . Thencubbr op Execution * _«" THIS DAT ( SaTORDAT ) IS _QUOTID At SlXtT . Some Of the leading professors , too , have shared the same fate , and « rae ofthe fiercest agitators , ona Dr Schutte , has committed suicide . There were also certain _Rtdical members of the Austrian Diet whose guilt is as clearly manifest as thai of any , but th ° y are under the protection of privilege , and cannot , therefore , be summarily disposed of . Measures have , however , been taken to bring them to tbeir trial . '
Letters Irom Vibnha ofthe 8 ; h instant give a fearful account of the ravages and brutality of the soldiery , especially the Croats , who have indulged in general pillage , and slew numbers of women and children that opposed them or were in their way . _Windiaohgrals is busy ransacking the city for victims , and sending then to ba shot , if they are at all known as connected with the insurrection . He is making a general press of the working class to fill tfae ranks of the army , and as he hopes to employ the army next time against Sclavonian malcontents , he will thus _afford the Viennese the indulgence of revenge . For students there is no mercy . And as these are not Viennese , but the sons of the better families of all the towns of the German provinces , each of these families gives a viotim to Windischgralz ; and it may be supposed what loyalty to the Empror iB created by such massacres . ZTFBCTS OF THE LATE BOMBARDHEKr .
A correspondent of the Daily N & _we , writing on the 8 th , says : — ' This day I have visited the principal scenes of the _eoaflict . Turning down the noble Prater _Strassa ( in the Lsopoldstadt ) I found that every house presented the same marks with tbe dwellings in the Tabor Strasse . Even the Turkish embassy had not escaped , the windows in the upper story being _destoyed , and the lower part of tbe mansion bearing marks here and there of ball cartridge . The Carll Theatre was only slightly injured . Some eight or ten barricades were erected ia the above street . Aa I prooeeded further down , the houses on eaoh side were more serioualy injured , many having their fronts completely shattered , or their roofs _complete ' y
destroyed . But it is towards the end of the _streeet , oa the' Prater' side , that tbe greatest destruction of property occurred . At that point several noble house *—which must have been tenanted by wealthy individuals—are gutted throughout , only the bare walls having been left standing . Right and left of that end of the Prater houses , and all np the _Jagetzeil ( a broad street to the right of Prater Straese ) some seven or eight houses have shared the same fate , being burnt almost to the ground . Towards the bridge end of the _Jageri ** il , and _oppssite three heuseB which were consumed by fire , stand tha bare walls of the immense sugar factory of Zinder and Co . ; and to the left ofthe _Jagerzeil ( on the so oalled Schutte ! , opposite a branch of the Danube ) ,
the still smoking ruins of another large sugar factory ( that of Mack and Co- ) . Both were set fire to by the Graafian troops , who also destroyed by fire the wellknown 'tea-gardens , ' tfae ' _Bathfaoase . ' and four splendid newly-built houses . The loss of property in this quarter must bs frightful . In the Bathhouse the Croatians ( who are called' the red cloaks ') killed tha landlord , and landlady , and two or three other persons . Passing over the _Fraczensbruok ( suspension bridge ) , which is uninjured ( but which waa barricaded at both ends ) , I cams opposite the ' Good Shepherd ' Inn , where _Windischgratzpaswdanight during the contest . Its roof had received eo much damage it ia found necessary to remove it altogether . A portion of the building was alio set On fire , It
shoald have been stated tbat the large steam mills below the sugar factory of Mack and Co . stand uninjured ; the report that they also hadbeen destroyed being incorrect . _Several hou *> fl in the _Hauptstrasse , in which the' Good Shepherd' is situated , are muoh injured by shots , and in one large establishment ( a slaughter-house ) , both artillery and fire have committed sad havoc . The commercial depot to the left ofthe Hauptstrasse is uninjured . We now enter the oity proper through the' Red ? o _* er * gate , behind which a barricade was erected . The ramparts sear that gate are defaced in many part * , and the houses iu the beginning of the Rotheuthurm Strasse and up a portion of the fish market are riddled with shot . From the gate end of the
Rotkenthurm Strasse to the palace , there are very few marks of any contest ; at that vast edifice , however ( the Ht / fburg ) , there are many signs of the work of _destructinn . The roof of the royal library is destroyed by fire , and the molten lead is lying on the sqaare beneath . That portion of the palace which is devoted tothe cabinet of natural history is also much injared . All the contents of thoee two parts ofthe palace are quite safe . In other parts of the palace only a few windows have been destroyed , except in _ttofa 4 de opposite tha _Burgthor ( palaca gate ) , which is muoh defaced by the cannon shot which was fired from the royal stables on the insurgents . The gate itself—a beautiful work of artpresents a sad spectacle ; being battered in namerous places externally and internally . One of ita
strong wooden gates is entirely smashed in . All the gates are strongly guarded . Troops are bivouacking in all the squares , and carry on their cooking in public , all eating , too , out of the same _so « p and meat kettle . Inthe city proper , also , the Carnthneretrasse , in tbat part whioh is opposite the gate of that name ( the Carinthian gate ) bears many marks of the combat ; as likewise does the street leading from that gate to the Augostinian church , the roof and tower of whioh are mnch injared . According to a communication in the Morning _Ukbaxd , Dr Schutte is _usder the protection of the American Envoy , who has oanfided to him some pretended employment in tbe legation . The t _* o principal agitators of the oommittee of students have _eiaitsed the protection ofthe French envoy , who has given them the situation of couriers .
A letter from Olmutz , of the 8 th instant , informs us that the Austrian General Simonich , who had entered into Hungary from Galicia , had been beaten by tbe Magyars , and retired into the Matchfeld at Goding , a village not far from Vienna . Simonich lost two cannon and several men . According to the Brbsiau _Gmi-re , Pulsky has been taken prisoner , as he was about to pass the frontier into Hungary . The news is confirmed that the Austrian General Pfailippovich has been shot at PeBth .
_HGfiSIBLE MURDER OF BLUM AND MESSENHAUSER ! Tidings from Vienna come , as might be expeoted , fraught with atrocity and bloodshed . Not only has Messenhauser , the brave commander of the National Guard ef Vienna , been shot , but Robert Blum , member of the central Diet for the city of Leipzig , has been also shot by _Windischgrafe . Blum and hi * colleague , Fr « ebel , went with an address to the Diet of Vienna there is no proof ef their having joined in the resistance of the Viennese farther than their having been found lodged in one ofits hotels . But their sacred character as members of tbe central Diet cannot be denied ; and the shooting Blum is an act cf soldiery defiance to all constituent and
representative 8 saesnblies that will make a deep impression upon Germany . Blum was a man of first rate talent , aid , for popular eloquence , was unrivalled . So strongly was his merit felt , that he was almost unanimously elee ' ed deputy by his fellow citirans of Le _' pzig . although a great majority of them did not approve of his extreme opinions . The aet of Windischgralz seals the fate of the Archduke John , as bead of the central government , and cannot but cause an explosion against his weak and puerile ministry . It twinge , indeed , the great qaestion of German unity and of any central power at once to a _cloeeor a solution . It must fling all the wavering and moderate Into the ranks ofthe movement .
The effects of the murder ofthe two deputies are likely to be even more serious in Berlin , than ih Frankfort . The Prussian deputies will then Bee what they may expect from the uncontrolled freedom of military power . And although the Prussian monarch is not the idiot which reigns ever Austria , _ani although Prussian general * and soldiers are not _altogether brutes , like _IViadiscbgra ' z and the Croats , still the horror o military rule and its mockery of justice , as _exemplified in the case of Blum , cannot but be felt , and with the keenest sensibility , from Konigsberg to Cologne . The captain who , on the 6 th of October , kept guard ia the war office , waa to be tried by oourt martial , because he had not protected Count Latour with his men , but gave him up to the fury of an exasperated mob .
BOMBARDMENT OF LEMBBRG . We learn from the Cbacow Journal that the town of Lemberg ( Galicia ) hasbeen bombarded for three _feoura . daring which the Hotel do _Villo , Cracow Street , and the University , became a heap of rams . The cause of the _bombardment originated in a quarrel between the students and a soldier , whj was wounded . The city has capitulated .
COUNTER-REVOLUTION IN PRUSSIA .

The sensation created by this royal _message m the National Assembly was _the'deepsat possible . Immediately after it was read Count Von Brandenburg rose , aad , having deolared that the Assembly was required to close tho debate , aod that be protested againBt its being continued , as an unlawful proceeding , left the Assembly , followed by the ministers and a part of the members of the Right . The question whether the debate should be closed having been put to the Assembly by the president , was negatived , and the following three resolutions were p issed almost unanimously : —
1 . — - That the Assembly will continue Its sittings at Berlin . ' 2 . — -That the Assembly cannot be prorogued , removed , or dissolved by the King ; and * . — -That the _Ass « mbly holds those officers who had advised tha King to _istue this message to bo unfit to administer the government , aad guilty of a violation of their duties towards the King , the peeple , and the Assembly , The National Assembly thea declared itself
permanent , and a committee of ten has been appointed to remain in permanent Bitting . Bbhiin , Nov . 10 . —Last night was passed in disquiet and alarm . The National Assembly deolared _ijjelf permanent , it having continued its sitting during the night , and the Burgher Guard had been ordered out in diffsrent quarters of the oity for the purpose of maintaining quiet . At five o ' olock this morning the _President of the _Assembly announced thathe had received the following note of the President of the Ministry , Count von Brandenburg : —
You have _cosomanloated to the State Ministry to-day tbat several r _solutlonB had been pasted by the National Assembly after its removal had been decreed . I hold it my duty to Inform you that suoh resolutions are illegal , and to be considered null and void , and tbat tbe _depotl « s who hare passed them have made themselves guilty of a violation ef supreme rights , and of the constitution . I request you to communicate this order to those deputies wbo have thus commuted _atranenres'lon ef tho law , and have disobeyed hie _Majisty the King , and beg you will consider that yoa and tha deputies who have baen guilty oi an infringement of the rights of tha Orown will be responsible for the serious consequences which may _attefld such an unlawful _prooeedln / . B . rlln Nor . 9 . Count Von _Bbandknbdbo , To the President of the _National Assembly .
The President also communicated to the Assembly an order issued by the Chief of the Police to the Commander of the Burgher Guard requiring the Burgher Guard to prevent the continuation of the sitting ofthe National Assembly , by occupying ihe building of the Assembly , aud not permitting any members to pass excepting those who left the Assem * bly . The reply of the Commander ofthe Burgher Guard , whtoh was then read , stated that tho Burgher Guard deo'iaed obeying this summons , as it considered the removal ofthe National _Assembly from Berlin as a measure calculated to endanger the rights and liberties of the people , which it held
itself bound to _quavd and _srolect . In consequence of this declaration ofthe Commander ofthe Burgher Guard , the Chief of the Polioe _issued a proclamation this morniu * _. stating that as the Burgher Guard had refused to execute tbe order given for dissolving the National _Awrably , he hsd been directed by the Ministry to make known that tbe _eovercment of his Majesty the King had resolved to ' call into requisition the military for the purpose of exeouting that order . The troops in the capital would , therefore , to-day receive a _re-inforiemont sufficient to execute the _Rayal oommind , and to restore ' a state of order and quiet in thia oity .
The effect > f this proclamation was a kind of panic , which _spread through the city in the same instant it became known , and immediately the alsrm was sounded , calling the _citizens to arms in every quarter of tlie city . The Burgher Guard , however , of which never il battalions were drawn up before the National Assembly , resolved not to offer resistance to the military , but , if _posnble , te avoid a collision , whioh would be attended with the most serious consequences . Towards the afternoon the troops entered the city ; 15 0 Q 0 men—iufantry and
artillerywith ammunition , wero brought in- The Burgher Guirdhas 6 iucei 9 _gu * d a proclamation , in which it is stated that it had resolved , in accordance with tbe National Assembly , not to provoke a collision with the troops , and that it entreated all who were disposed to maintain peace and order to unite their eff irts for the prevention of Berioua disturbances . In _consequende of an order oi the polioe , the principal guards of the city , whioh till now were held by the Burgher Guards have been resigned to the military .
DECREE TO DISARM THE NATIONAL GUARD OP BERLIN—MEETING Ol ? THE CONSTITUENT ASSEMBLY—REFUSAL TO VOTE THE SUP . PLIES—THE MINISTERS DECLARED TRAITORS TO THE NATION . The Staats _Akssigsr contains a proclamation , signed by the King , in which it is said that since the prorogation of the Constituent Assembly to _Branden _* burg , part of tbat Assembly has thought fit to oppose that step , and has resumed its deliberations in Berlia . The Civie Guard has not only refused to act against this illegal state of things , but has taken these very members of the Assembly under its _protection . Such a _atateof thing * , oannot _bsvb the proclamation , be allowed to continue : and , consequently , it is thereby declared that the Civio Guard of Berlin is dissolved ;
Meantime the state of affiira in Berlin is becoming more and more serious . Oa the llth the Assembly met at the _Sohutzen-house , and resumed adjourned _Bittings there . After receiving an address of the students and others from tbe provinces , tbe President was about te adjourn the Assembly until Monday , when two or tbree motions , declared to bs urgent , were made , and forthwith discussed and carried . The first was to tha effect ; that a commission of sixteen should be appointed to draw up a full explanation of all that occurred , in the form of a report , andthat this report _should be published for the information of tfae whole nation ; the second was the nomination of a commission of eight , to consider and report upon the expediency of impeaching the ministers an traitors to the country ; and , io the event of the Crown persisting in its resolution , of also considering the
_expediency of refusing supplies .. Both these motions were passed unanimously . In comequenoe also of the fact being known that the decree above mentUned , dissolving the Burgher Guard , was about to appear in the official pa : > er of tho next day ( published on the night of the llth ) , a motion was made and carried declaring that tbose who advised these measures were traitors to the country ; that the Bnrgher Guard should he forbidden , ou pain of being them * selves declared traitors , to surrender their arms , and they should be ordered and directed to defend themselves to tho last drop against all attempts ti disarm them—a defence to be sanctioned by a vote aim decree of the Assembly . M . Grabow , ex-President , proceeded , late on the evening of the llth , to Potsdam , te throw himself at the King ' s feet , but with little hope of success . The city was _quiet—eminomly so .
Beblin , Nuv . 11 . —The debateB in the National _Assembly having recommenced yesterd & y afternoon at three o ' clock , it _wsb resolved to appoint a committee of fire members to draw up a proclamation to the Prussian people for the purpose ot justifying the measures adopted by the Assembly in consequence of its removal and prorogation by the King . The following iB the proclamation which has been published to-day : —
TO THE _FBOS-IAH PEOPLE . The Brandenburg Ministry , whioh was appointed in direct opposition to tho will of this Assembly , las begun to _escrclse the duties of government by prohibit _, ing the deliberations of this Assembly , snd decreeing its prorogation . Tho A' _** mbly ef the representatives ofthe Prussian peopleha * _protfgted agnlcst this invasion cf their rights , and has resolved to continue its deliberations at ( Berlin . It has declared at tbe _sama tima that it etnuot concede to the crown the right of dissol vlng , removing , or proroguing It , and that it considers
tbose counsellors ofthe crown who advised suoh a step unfit te conduot government , and guilty of a violation of th-lr amies . The Ministry _Brandenbarg BBS , in _COUBB . quenea of this , declared the deliberations of tbe _A-iembly to be ill-gal , and bas threatened to act _sgainst it with military measures . Cltlzon _* , at the _mement when this Assembly may be dispersed with bayonets , we call oayou to defend tbo liberties which have _beengafae-i , and for which we aro ready to Baorlfloe our lives , hut we implore you likewise to aet only in conformity with the laws , Firmness and moderation will , with the help of God , ensure the victory of liberty .
The Assembly , nf * or having resolved to meet tho next morning at » . adjourned , but , as several battalions of infantry had _h- en _stationed near the building ofthe Assembly , and General Von _Wrangel had declared to the Commander of the Burgher Guard that they would not be withdrawn , it was previously agreed upon between the Burgher Guard , which had been drawn up round the building , and the Assembly , that the members should pass out iu a _procesaion , and maroh with the Burgher Guard , under their protectum . Thia was effected withont anv resistance
being _offered by the military , but the latter were withdrawn soon after . Tho authorities , it seems , Were not disposed io act in any manner which was likely to oause a collision with the Burgher Guard-During tha day the whole ofthe sarrison was under arms , the palace being occupied by two battalions of guards , with artillery . The force at the arsenal had been increased , as likewise that at the principal gates . General Wrangel bad his head quarters in the palace , the gates of whioh wore olosed . The soldiers were _furniBhed with three days' provisions and a good supply of cartridges , The streets wer

wowded during the day with peoplo . Foreigners hai arrived to join in the approaching fray ; the whole of the striata leading from the So _*> u ; z-n Haua were occupied by bodies of workmen , turned and ready to fight . Towards evening the _sheets became somewhat clearer , and it was evidently not the intention of the leaders of the movement to oommenoe hostilities . Many families were leaving the _tovn . The mission of Grabow to tho King had been unsuccessful . His Majesty referred hia , as well as others who came to mediate , to Ministers . The Communal Council of Cologne has sent an address to the National Assembly , declaring that the King has no right to adjourn or dissolve tbe Diet without that body ' s consent . _Meotm _^ _a had also taken place at Ais la-Chapelle , CoWentz , and Treves .
The Prussia * Staats _Akeeiqbr contains a proclamation of the royal Prefecture ef Police , stating that , as the magistrates of Berlin have refused their co-operation in carrying out the royal proclamation of the llth of this month , relative to the _dissolution of the Civio Guard , because such an obligation is not expressly imposed upon the civio authorities by the Civic Guard law ofthe 17 th October ; the Pre - fecture of Polioe has been charged by the Minister of the Interior to effeot the surrender of the arms given by the State to the Civic Guard at certain _Bpeoifiedplaoea . The arms are to ba deposited by battalions and duly numbered , so that on the _reorganuation ofthe Civio Guard , they may bo restored in the same order .
Bsrun , Nov . 12 . —A royal proclamation , ' which appeared yesterday evening , and according to whioh the Burgher Guard is dissolved by the King , has produced general consternation _throughout the city , and a combat between the military and the _Burgher Guard is regarded to day aa almoBt inevitable .

Tbe Bargher Guard is summoned forthwith to surrender their arms , The peace of the city has not been broken , and up to the last moment no collision had taken place . The constituent Assembly met iu the _Sobiitzjn Haua at three o ' olock , and re-elected Von Unrah their president as before , as also the same
vice-presidents . Ot thou proceedings it was impossible to know much , on account of the orowds that surround the place .

The clubs ail presented addresses to the _Chamber approving of _iti resistance , and the Burgher Guard chiefs had met and determined not to yield or give up their arms .

TUB WAR IN ITALY . Garibaldi has issued a proclamation to the inhabitants of Lombardy announcing that he will seon be among them to carry on a war of extermination against the Austriana . Tie _Opikiohb , of the 6 th instant , quotes a letter from the Lake of Como , of the 2 ad , _seating that tbe insurgents maintained themselves in the V & l _d'lutelvio , and that tha Austrian troops had not advanced beyond the town of _Argegr ..

Tho Republican movement in Arragon has been entirely suppressed , and General Yriarte , who crossed the _frontier on the 4 th inst . into Navarre and Arragon , in hope of finding tho insurrection spreading , and the troops wavering , has precipitately returned into the Frenoh territory , leaving his arms secreted

TOE LAND COMPANY ' S LECTURERS , TO _THBIDITOB OF TBE NOBTIIKBH STAE . S » , —In the report of the General Conference of the National Land Company held at Birmingham , which appeared inthe ST 4 H . of Saturday last , there appear some observations in reference to the lecturers of the _Ltnd Company , to wbich I deem it my duty to make the following brief reply : — 1 Mr Hyatt wished to know wby tbe lecturers had b . _oa withdrawn . 1 Mr O'Connor said , that complaints had been heard with regard to some ef these lecturer * , and as tbey en . tailed some expense upon tho Company , they were withdrawn . 'Mr Kydd said , that hi was one of the lecturers , and as complaint * bad been raado of soma of them , he wished , at a matter of Justice ta himself , to know If ba was one ol thm .
' Mr O'Connor said , that a more active and Intelligent indlvldnal—whether _considered In referenoe to the Chartist or Land movement—tban Mr Kydd did not exist . His oharaoter was _ualmpoaehable— . ao man had ever conducted himself more creditably , or discharged his duties more faithfully . ' Now , sir , there were bat three lecturers appointed for the _Lind Company , Mr Kydd , Dr M'Douall , and myself being the person * , If saoh _ehnrgos as Mr O'Connor al . hide * , tohavebeon mado , Mr Kydd is entirely exonerated , and there are but Dr M'Douall and myself to appear ns
tho guilt ; parties . D .- M'D uall Is In prison and cannot answer for himself , but I am not os yet ; I thorefore nnswer to these general charges : that I am not _conscious of having at any time , in ell the tjlaoo * that I h & ve visited , glvtn an ; ground for cause of complaints ; that I have never once heard from the Directors tbat over any _eampUInt _wob made against me ; ba * , on the contrnry , I have seen Ut tor 8 from various district ) , bearing _tetiti . mony to my conduot while I held the very _responsible situation ; and this the Directors oan _tealify ii tae ; think proper , or contradict if they can do eo .
Bat I think Mr O Connor must have boon misinformed aa to the cause of the dismissal of the lecturers ; aad I am only surprised that Mr Clark or Mr _Kjdd did not Bet t _* _ie matter right , _becauao tho one wto . e , ana the other received , a copy of the letter announcing our dismissal ; and whioh , had its true _grounds been Btated , would have saved me the trouble of writing this totter , and prevented tlie public frora inferring that I was disolmrged for a breach of putlic duty . The letter whioh I received fwm Mr Clark announcing our _diamieeal _, stated tbe reasons for the _Diieotor * doing bo to bs : that as tie Company had closed , we could add no
more members to l > , and consequently that our UbM _< v could be of ito value . ' Now , _e ! r , as that was tho trao one , I think it should bave been the proper answer to Mr Hyatt ' s qaestion . Sir , I regret _twing hid to write this letter , but Mr O ' _Connor ie very sensitive about ni * _characttr—so Ib Mr Kydd , aad very properly so , too ; I trust , tlioroforo , tho members of the Land Company , and all other- whom it may concern , will excuse me if I do not wis !) to appear less anxious about ' my gcod name' than either of tho above gentlemen . - I remain , your * faithfully , _Jlflli / _ax .

Pboposep New County Prisov. , — At The M...
Pboposep new County Prisov . , — At the Marylebone vestry on Saturday , Mr Haikas having been called to the chair , and the parochial receipts and disbursements for the week having been read and approved of , Mr Williams ( late M . P . for Uv entry ) begged to be informed by the county magis trates present whether there was any truth in the report that it was intended to erect a new county prison , at an enormous expense , for the purpose oj enabling the authorities te carry out their newfangled separation _svstera ? It was said that Coldbath-fieldo * _prisan was to be thrown down , and that a new prison would be erected .--Sir Peter Laurie said that it
was true that such a proposal was contemplated , which , if carried into execution , would entail upon the rate-payers the expenditure of £ 150 , 000 ., and if the Pentonvilie system were adopted in the new prison it would increase the annual expend ture £ 15 , 000 ., while the county was indebted £ 300 , 000 ., and the county rates amounted annually to £ 70 . 000 ., which twenty years ago only figured £ 40 , 000 . But he was happy to state that the proposition to erect the new prison was defeated ; but Messrs Rotch and Rose , the magistrates who brought it forward , were not to he baffled , and therefore declared that they would petition government in ita favour . In order to attach popularity to it , the
parties desirous for its success spread a report that government was favourable to the new building and the separate system . That he emphatically denied , as well as the report that it was intended to build barracks on the site of the present prison . He inquired at the Horse Guards respecting the latter report , and was informed that there was not the slightest greund for it . He was astonished at any poor person applying for workhouse relief , when , by committing crime , he could obtain good living ia Coldbath Fields , and the best iu Pentonvilie , where the support of each criminal costs £ 35 ., and where he bas a room to himself neatly fitted-up , and
suplied with the luxury of hot and cold water . Sir P . Laurie condemned the separate system , ridiculed the idea of converting , in this country , felons into saiuts , and hoped that all the metropolitan parishes would unite in opposing the project of erecting a new county prison—Mr Elliot , deputy-lieutenant of the- ' county , assured the board that the ratepayers need not be apprehensive , for no new prison would be built . But , at the same time , he expressed himself favourable to the prisoners sleeping in separate apartments .- —Mr Williams moved the appointment of a committee to inquire into the amount of the county rate , and the mode of its expenditure . —The motion was carried , and a committee appointed .
The Bishop op London has issued a pastoral letter to the clergy of his diocese , calling upon them to do their utmost in their various localities , to remove the ascertained causes of the extension of cholera . ' A line of duty , ' ho observes , ' in which the clergy may render themselves eminently useful , and which is surely in close correspondence with the nature of their office : for if to visit a sick parish * ioner and to minister to his recovery be one of tbeir plainest duties , it is a still more blessed work of charity to rescue , under the blessing of God , whole masses of their poorer brethren from the inroads of disease . Intemperance and _filthiness / _. says his lordship , ' are too frequently the result of want , and
unless something be done for the relief of extreme indigence , it will be an empty mockery to tell those who are borne down and crushed by its wei ght , that they would be less miserable if they were less filthy . ' His lordship , in conclusion , dwells empbatically upon the necessity of combating the fallacy that cholera is contagious . ' Let it , then , he one object of your pastoral visits to remind those member _**^ your flock whom providence has entrusted with tw means of alleviating the misery oi their _fellow-creatures . that a portion of their charitable expenditure can hardly be more safely or properly directed than towards defraying the expense of cleaning and ventilating the miserable abodes of those by whose labour they are directly or incidentally benefitted .

_Cucrce Establishments . —A moating of tha British . _Anti-State-Chntch Association was hekra few days ago , at the Horns Tavern , Kennington , Mr Pearson , M . P _.,-in the ohair . The Rev . Mr Townsend moved tho first resolution , declaring that the existence of a State Churoh is injurious to the best interests oi Christianity , and incompatible with tha full enjoyment of _religious liberty . This waa agreed to by tho meeting , though not with that' unanimity ' of which Borne of the speakers boasted , for it is duo to truth to Bay that more than half the _persons present did not vote at all . The second resolution , moved by the Rev . Mr Green , pledged the meeting to offer their most determined opposition to the scheme for
the endowment of tho Roman Catkoho clergy for Ireland , which , it is supposed , will be _brought forward in the next _session of parliament . A Mr J me . explained the plan of agitation against the Established Church which the association has determined upon , by __ sending a corps of lecturers to various quarters to institute a provincial agitation during ' . be ensuing winter . Messrs _Scoble , _Misll , and other supporteis of the dissenting interest , were preeeat . The staple of the speeches _consisted of _unmeasured denunciation of all established churches ; aad it was broadly _hinted , that though the fate of tho church establishment might drag down with it' other institutions' into a common ruin , this would b * anything but a r _? gretable _conBequeBoe .
