France. Last Wist Wednesday The Assembly...
FRANCE . last Wist Wednesday the Assembly discussed the pro . toon stioa submitted by M . Langiunais , the reporter toe cthe covamiuee of the Assembly . M . de Lasiiie maie made a very successful attack oa tbe ministry , gg ong one of the members of the committee of _unanemanence . His great point was the society ot ; Dix Dix Decembre , which he described as an _orssed _ased army , but said that it was not dangerous , muse Cose General Changarnier commanded tbe armynuext next alluded to the seditious cries at the
re-•¦• 3 of 3 of Sartory , and described how all military i ; i p * insp * ine had been defied in tbe banquets given me Ehe Elysee , by the mixture o : officers and _nonumisBimisBioued _offit-ers at the sam e table . He did _Ibltabltrnethe President for this —( ironical _laughsj fecanecanse the President was no t a military man , . i tbei therefore mig bl be supposed not to know much tat tint the niles of the service , but his chief _oide-aenp , Gp , _Coloael Vaadrey , was present and mig ht bave » wn two better . He concluded by alluding to the _anisssnissal of General Neumaier , which he strongly
idemdemned . kit tb _ t the opening of the sitting on Thursday Col . _tunauDREY fir 3 t ascended the tribune , and declared tit _thit the assertions of . M . de Lasteyrie were false il call calumnious , as far as he was concerned . IU . IU . _Lemolieb said that the doenment read b y M . LasLasteyrie touching the organisation ofthe society I the the Dri-Decembre had never emanated from that _ily . iy . ! H . M . FtAsms , member of the minority of the _inminmittee , attacked the report . He maintained _itt tit the President had made proper use of a : _isti _ stitutional right in dismissing General Cbanirnianier ; and attacked the chiefs of the majority for leir eir visits to Claremont and Wiesbaden .
M . M . L 5 ode Lab _*> h » e and M . Thiers demanded spi speak . The latter insisted on answering immeatelately , amid cries of 'Order ; ' 'Let the speaker in ie tie tribune go on ; ' ' Hinder " him . ' M . _* FIandin , _SUtSUUlill ,- _, remarked _, the presence of three delegates omom the court of Wiesbaden in the Committee of eineimanence ( MM . Berryer , Leo de Laborde , and _aroarochejacquelin . ) He justified the suppression of _te ae command of the army of Paris , citing the words I Q General Cavaignac , and wondering the measure ad ad not been taken long before . Did they want a ia-aayor . of the palace ? It would be a bad _inauguraionion of tbe republic to insfal a faineant President _, 'he'he successes even obtained byjthe cabinet , owing > tb tbe intervention of General Changarnier , were 9 9 humiliating as to _rtsemble checks rather tban _ucuccessts . He ended with condemning the resoluiorion of the committee .
J After some time M . Berryer occupied the _trilunune . He should explain himself on bis conduct in lanarticular . and state tbe motives which determined mrim to vote against the government . He reminded hehe bouse of the sensation caused in tbe Assembly murder the farmer government , by the dismissal of a 'hehef de division ( M . Drooyn de Lhuys ) . He _regarded the dismissal of General Changarnier as a : b : bange of policy , which might be attended with tbe umost fatal results . He saw great danger in the tuptuture of the majority , to whose union tbe return of _-npTOspOTvj bad _bssn owing . He considered tbe
_position of lbs country as a transition , and tbe _message _ititself spoke of it in this light . There were in that CChambsr a considerable number of royalists , and he nwas a royalist himstlf . ( Long interruption ) . He hhad been monarchist during fifty-eight years ; nor hhad he changed in assuming the mandate of a _representative . Nevertheless be had rallied with all bis sstrength to the majority in order to save tbe country . IHe demanded tbat the ties of tbe majority should mow be strengthened by a common resolution . (( Berryer ' s speech was thought ineffective , aud below ¦ the mark ) .
M . Lamabtixe now ascended the tribune . He -declared tbat be would stand by tbe flag of tbe Rej public . Having blamed tbe Committee for reviving l the _diipntes of the recess , after a message which was _: accepted by the most _thorough . going republicans , M . de Lamartine was met by an emphatic ' No , ' from M . Charras . M . Cherras , having been called to order , was supported by tbe Mountain en masse , whom M . Dupin called collectively to order . * Give -four names ( be said ) to the * MonUeur , ' and the country will jud . se you . ' M . Lamartine continued his panegyric of the republic , and maintained that it was the partisans of M . de _Remusat ' s proposition who did their best to crush the parliamentary system . He concluded by an appeal to all the different par . ties of the Assembly to unite in saving the republic , by rejecting the resolution of tbe Committee .
General Chaxgarnier then proceeded to occupy the tribune , and spoke amidst the deepest signs of attention . He said tbat when the government which preceded that of the President of tbe Republic established its head-quarters at the Tatlleries , the parties whicb still divide Fraice were already in existence . There were the moderate republicans , the monarchists of tradition , the constitutional monarchists , tbe demagogues who masked themselves under other names , and tbe men who wanted the imperial dictatorshi p stripped of the glory and genius of the man whose fame yet filb tbe world . ( Movement ) . He had refused to be the instrument of auy parly . He had wished what all honest people wished , the e _ e-1
cution of the laws , the revival of commerce , industrial activity , the security of Paris—of all Franc , and he had the proud satisfaction of having contributed a little to the attainment of these benefits . ( Prolonged applause ) . Notwiths tanding odious insinuations propagated by ingratitude , be bad declined to follow any faction , any consp iracy , any amspirateur . ( Cheers ) . The two parlies which he had last mentioned ( ibe demagogues and imperialists ) had vowed against him a hatred which he had well deserved—( smiles and approbation)—and which , for bis honour , survived even his fall . ( Cheers ) , He might bave forstalled lhat fall by his resignation _, which could have been well received . But were
those who thoug ht he ought to have g iven his resignation quite sure that his course had not been useful to them ? ( Movement ) . His sword . was condemned to a momentary repose , but it was not brokeo _, and if the country ever had need of it , it would _findit again full of devotion and obedience to a patriotism proof against all trials , of a devoted heart and of a firm mind , which disdained the tinsel O ? _fafeft _SVl-aA-JUT . ( Prolonged applause ) . M . Thiers next spoke , and went into a Ion ? explanation of his idea of the Republic . He said that he had accepted the republic without _arrkre pensee , and that the first cries of « Vive l'Eraperor ' bad broken tbat truce whicb had hitherto bound all par ties together for tbe welfare of France . He then alluded to tbe dismissal of Changarnier , and
said that by such conduct the government exposed itself to the reproaches of ingratitude , and to the distrust of tbe Assembly , and yet in spits of tbat knowledge it did not hesitate . It was impossible but that the assembly should regard this fact as one of great importance , and it was with tbat feeling tbat he ascended the tribune in spite of himself . The government had said that it had nn intention against the assembly ; he believed it , for the assembly bad not resisted it . He concluded by saying : We shall see when it will do so ; until that time I shall retain all my doubts . You make us fear a conspiracy ; you wish that the assembly should yield , without which tbe executive power , according to your account , will be humiliated . It is for the power which commenced the attack en
the other to draw back , for if the power attacked were to do so it would be lost . ( Applause . ) There erenow two powers in tbe state , the _executive and the legislative ; if the assembly now yields there will only be one power—then the form of government will have been changed , the empire will exist . ( Immense cheers . ) On Saturday the close of the general debate was put to the yo te and adopted . The President of the Assembl y then read the several amendments . M . * _™ _^ _manded ih e priorh y of his amend . ment . The President said thai the pnre and ssjsjl z _ZrZj'rh _? _- M Berryer declared iff *? _£ 3 S _£ J !__ £ _ .. __?

France. Last Wist Wednesday The Assembly...
T h ere was , therefore , a majority of 129 against ministers . The amendment of M . St . Beuve is as follow * : — T he Assembly declares that it bas not confidence in tbe ministry , and passes to tbe order of tbe day / Immediatel y on the rising of tbe Assembly , the Ministers went to the Elysee and placed their resi gnations in the hands of the President of the Republic , which he has accepted , but they will continue to carry on affairs until the formation of a new _raiciitrr .
No new ministry has yet been appointed . Of course there are many rumours afloat , which embrace M . 0 . Barrot as the basis ofthe new ministry . The secret societies seem to have taken advantage of the crisis to begin stirring . On Tuesday night , at nine , as the'Union of Communes , ' was assembled with the Association of Cooks , at tbe _Barriere _Pigale _, several bri gades , headed by a commiisary of police , invested tbe house of meeting , aud - _ ne * A « - thirty-six individuals . " On "Wednesday morning twenty mere were added to the arrested . Several papers of a socialist character were seized . Since the separation of the National Guard from the chief command of General Changarnier , ei ghteen officers of the staff bave resigned .
SW 1 TZERLA D . The government of Berne ( says a letter from that city of the 14 th ) having lately determined to take measures respecting the political refugees , called , a few days ago , ou a Prussian Jew , named Bass wit z , who had been established at St . Inner since 1837 , to produce a certificate of bis origin and other papers , but he was not able to do so , and orders were given to him to leave the canton . During many years he had made himself very popular among the poor , by giving them medical advice and assistance gratuitousl y , he being a physician . Iu political opinion he is a great Radical , and has not only already laboured to spread
his opinions in Switzerland , bat has been in constant communication witb the chiefs of tbe party in different countries . On receiving the order to leave , be attempted to induce the authorities of Neufcbatel or Soleure to grant him tbe rights of citizenshi p , but they refused . The inhabitants petitioned the grand eouncil against his removal ; the council , however , declined to interfere . The inhabitants thereupon made seditious movements , and threatened resistance . They planted two tress of liberty , but they were taken down by the
authorities , and they began casting bullets . It is said also that some ' corps francs' bave been ca'led to their assistance . In consequence of all this the _authorities of Berne have collected some detachments of infantry , cavalry , and artillery , and are prepared to march them at once to St . _Lnier , in case of need . A commissioner of the government has already been sent to tbat place . Tbe French ambassador has signed a passport to enable Basswitz to proceed to Havre . If he should not leave before tbe lG . h the government will send troops to occupy St . Imier .
BELGIUM . In the Chamber of _Dftputits of Belg ium , on Thursday last , the members displayed great agitation , and paid little attention to a speech on tbe war budget delivered by tbe Minister of War . When the Minister had concluded , the President called on M . Decbamps to speak , but that gentleman was in tbe midst of an animated group . Tbe agitation visibly increased , and at last , M . _Malon ascended the tribune , and said that it was impossible to deliberate in presence of tbe agitation of the Chamber , whicb was caused by a challenge having been sent by one member to another , in consequence of opinions expressed by bim in that place . He
accordingly demanded that the Chamber should form itself into secret committee . This was agreed to , and the public were expelled . It then became known that Gen . Chaza ! had scut a challenge to M . Thiefry for having in tbe course of tbe debate asserted that certain statements respecting the Sardinian army made last year by the General , at that time Minister of War , were erroneous , The Chamber remained some time in secret deliberation . M . Thiefry , it is said , refused with much dignity to produce the letter which had been written to bim by
Gen . Cbazal . One member demanded that a prosecution should be commenced against the latter for having violated the law against duelling . Another member recommended that an attempt should be made to conciliate the affair , and to this the Assembly appeared to lean . Eventually it was determined tbat M . Thiefry and Gen . Chazal should be invited to present themselves before the President in the course of the evening , and that a secret sitting should be held next day to receive a communication from tbe President on tbe result of the interview .
j The Rogier ministry , desirous of reducing the | present army expenditure of Belgium to 25 , 000 , 000 francs , lately entrusted the ministry ©{ war to Gen . Bnalmont . on the understanding that he was to act up to the view of the rest of the Cabinet in the _planB for - , reduction . Gen . Brialmout accepted the appointment , but instead of carrying out the views of his colleagues , announced in the Chamber , on Monday , tbat he could not realise any of tbe reductions proposed . Hereupon a scandal took place in tbe Chamber , and the ministry is said to be on the eve of dissolution .
GERMANY . The Dresden conferences have ended in a return to the old Bundesakt and tbe superannuated Diet at Frankfort . The differences between tbe executive council ( engereratb ) as it is in future to be constituted as it stood before , are slight . Tbe votes are to be 9 instead of 17 , as heretofore , aud arc divided as follows : —Austria , including tbe non-German states—Sclavonian and Italian , 2 ; Prussia , 2 ; Bavaria , I ; Hanover and Saxony , 1 ; _Wurtemberg and Baden , 1 ; the grand duchy of the electorate of Hesse , 1 ; and the remaining states , 1—in all . 9 votes .
The new apportionment of votes in the revived executive council of the diet at Frankfort , is raising such a cloud of protests and such a storm of discon t en t , that nothing but confusion seems likely at present to be the result of the Dresden conferences . Luxembourg and Holstein , tbat is , tbe Netherlands and Denmark , have protested against the new federal constitution . . Tbey — important placeshave by this constitution only a fraction of a vote at the Diet , whilst Wurtember _**' , an insignifican t place compared with these , bas an entire vote .
From Baden and the'free cities , ' a similar protest is expected ; and all the small states are likely to follow these examples . The second committee of the conferences have not been able to come to any agreement with respect to the boundaries between the competency of the Plenum and that of the States Councils . Austria wishes to refer all to the States Councils , but Prussia feels herself safer io _ihs Plenum , and the middle states are , on this point , with Prussia . _Dimension , it is thought , may possibly spring up betwixt Austria and Prussia out oi this question .
PRUSSIA . On the 18 th inst . the 150 th anniversary of the erection of the Electorate of Brandenburg into tbe King dom of Prussia took place . The Elector , Frederick the Third , was invested with the Royal dignity in January 1701 , wa _? crowned at Koui _gs berg with great pomp and solemnity on the 17 tb , and established on the 18 th the Prussian order of the Black Eagle , still tbe highest order of the State , as the Chapter only _ do _ its thirty-six . members .
There was a grand banquet , at which the King was present , and proposed three toasts , one to the ' Past , second to tbe Present , and tbe third to the Future , ' and on this toast he said , 'Few of us will outlive the next fifty years , bu " . we all desire tbat they may be years of pure blessing for this royal house and this brave people . Once again , gentlemen , 'The Past , the Present , and the Future . "
_% SCHLESWIG HOLSTEIN . Count Beventiow has been appointed Commissioner on behalf of the Duchies to confer with the Austrian and Prussian Commissioners . The Stadt . _bolderate has been dissolved , and it is said that publie opinion approves the coarse which has been adopted . Austrian troops still continue marching , so it is said , but not without contradictions , towards Holstein . General Hoont has sent a favourable address to tbe troops .

It is said that when Senor Pidal aud the other Ministers asked her Majesty what she intended to do ( after the resignation of General rlarvaez had been accepted , ) her rep ly was , that she intended to go to bed , aad should consider the subject the next day . Bravo Murillo has read to the two chambers his programme of government , which is summed up in respec t f o r the law , and impartiality and economy in tbe administration .

On the 27 tlv ? ult . a party of 100 insurgents arrived at Duvuo , and committed several acts of violence , besides attempting to gain over the inhabitants to their party .

From Buenos Ayres there is no political news of importance . Preparations for war continued to be pushed forward as expeditiously as possible , and the government sought , by all possible means , to cast the odium of the rupture upon Brazil , denouncing , in terms the most violent , its Cabinet , its policies internal aud external , and tbeir Europeanizing tendencies . The commercial crisis at Buenos Ayres had neither passed away nor in any way mitigated . The number of failures bad been increased by several important additions , and severe distress was experienced by many who still contrived to struggle against tbe pressure which the
enormous and sudden fluctuations in specie and exchanges , and the numerous stoppages bad occasioned . The g eneral opinion was , that the worst was yet to come , and all confidence was destroyed . The 'Roman Observer , ' of tbe 11 th inst ., Bnnounces the arrival at Rome of Prince Paskewitch of Russia , Prince Poniatowski , and the Archbishop Wladika of Montenegro .

The same prohibition extends to casts , sculptures , medals , rings , or curved work . Without this previous permission such objects cannot be prepared ,
imported , or sold . By an ukase of the 16 th of May , 1849 , the Polish nobles were forbidden to wear their beards ; as it has not been strickly observed , it has been again brought to the notice of the woils and magistrates . The ground of this singular ukase is the Russian law , tbat every one wearing an uniform , or having the right to were one , is forbidden to wear a beard . As the Polish nobility bave the ri g ht to wear an uniform , and to he called into the military service of the State , they are included in the prohibition .
A curious fact has just transpired with reference to the golden civic crown which certain nameless citizens of Leipsic presented to Manteuffel a fortnig ht ago . This splendid present turns out to bave been a stock piece in the window of one of the Leipric goldsmiths , and to have been originally made for Robert Blum , the Leipsic patriot , whose untimely end at Vienna prevented it from being presented to bim . The reminiscences whicb thus attach to tVe article must be highly gratify ing to its present possessor . -
In New York at an entertainment given to Captain Matthews by tbe mayor and corporation , Captain Matthews stated the following facts : — ' 1 happen to be , ' said Captain Matthews , * tbe oldest steam-ship captain across the Atlantic , having come over in the _Sirius . I have now made ninety-nine steam voyages between the two countries , fifty to America and forty-nine from it , and if I live to return , I shall bave crossed th * Atlantic by steam one hundred times . ( Great cheering , and three cheers for the pioneer of ocean steam trips ) .

Tbe Radicals of Cephalonia have thought proper to get up meetings on tbe occasion , and make speeches hostile to the British protectorate .

She left on the evening of the 11 th , and the Scourge , war-steamer , and one of the shi ps of the line , uuder tbe command of Sir William Parker , are preparing to follow , to support tbe Lord High Commissioner in any measure he may deem it fitting to adopt . .
The Greek government has announced its intention of presenting a new bill on the subject of elections , and as a preparation for the meat-ore it bas addressed a circular to the prefects , directing them to collect all the information they can obtain on the subject . la the United States railroad riots between the _Contiaught men and the Far-downers ( Irish labourers ) bave been quite the rage of late . The other day there was a terrible fight on the Hudson River Railway , between New York and Albany .

DEATH AND BURIAL OF GENER _& L BEM . A letter dated Aleppo , December 10 th , gives the following painfully interesting particulars of the end of this bravo soldier : — " A higher power has interposed to determine the duration of poor Bern ' s detention in this place . I have just returned from his funeral . You know I stand very little upon ceremonies , yet there is a melancholy pleasure in observing the rites paid to a fellow exile by foreigners in a strange land . Bern ' s sickness was neither very long nor painful ; a month before bis death bo was riding out . Some slight attacks of fever gave him no anxiety ; and he could not be persuaded to take any medicine until
three or four days before his death . His dwelling lay very low between _g-irdens , near the banks of a river . According to tho unanimous op inions of physicians the spot was exceedingly unhealthy . Their admonitions , however , were disregarded . Every physician told him that his frame , weakened with wounds and hardships , had not vital force sufficient to withstand an attack of fever , wliich would bo dangerous to a strong man , and which might in all probability ba avoided by leaving his unhealthy dwelling . In tbe evening he complained of pains in the abdomen ; about eleven ho said ho felt better , and slept with few intermissions until two , when he died . At ten next morning , as we went to visit bim , his body lay extended on a bier , and several
persons wero engaged in washing and dressing the corpse , while mollabs were praying around . The washings ended , the body was wound in a sheet and placed in a coffin , at the foot of which hung his fez . A coloured shawl was spread over tho coffin . A military interment is a thing unknown in Turkey ; however , on this occasion , Kerim Pasha , the commandant , the French and English consuls , many officers , and an immense crowd of soldiers , assembled . The procession moved on without much order . From twenty to thirty mollahs marched first , and began a monotonous and fright ful _latllaha-illaha . We carried him to the door , and would have gone further to his p lace of rest , but Turkish etiquette forbade . A great rush took
place , and every one was anxious to catch a last _glimps-3 of tho coffin . Strong divisions of military wero posted on the line of procession , many of tbe Boldicrs of which pressed forward to cany the coffin , even old Kerim Pasha would insist upon bearing a hand . Near Friedhofe the coffin was deposited in tho grave of a saint , where prayers were said . Arrived at the grave the body w " as taken out ofthe coffin and deposited in a grave five Or six feet deep , the head lying towards Mecca . The threads by which the winding sheet was secured were then cut , and tho grave was filled up with large flat stones . The promise , which Bern had often repeated of late to relate to us the entire history of his life , has not been fulfilled . It is stated that he was only nfty-six years of age , although he appeared much older , Ilis body was uncommonly weakened , but his restless spirit retained it 3 force and vivacity ' to tha last . From the moment of his transition to
_Islawism , all his efforts were directed to make his knowledge and experience useful to bis new fatherland , and the Sultan , whom he greatly esteemed . I can say very little of his political belief : it is certain that he was anything but a democrat , and hated Socialism . He was heart and soul a soldier . Tho aims which he set before himself he followed up with great perseverance . His conversation was lively and intellectual ; he w . \ s especially lively when speaking in the French language , of whioh he was completely master . He bore bis detention with great resignation , and was quite resolved to close his tumultuous life here . He had laid the foundation of a saltpetre manufactory here , and had sent specimens of his manufacture to " Constantinople , whence he was empowered to proceed with his works on a great scale , at the cost of the government . He was also requested by the government to give his superintendence to a largo manufactory of arms .
