Langlois \ . , 137 The list of Les Amis de la Constitution ( the - National' party ) has been very unfortunate . Twenty of the candidates have been rejected , and those who succeeded owe their election to the / act of their names having been on the list of the Electoral Union . The * Debats' of Monday gives the following resume of the elections : —Moderates elected , 511-Socialists , 217 ; Elections not yet known , 22 . — Total , 750 .
The following members of the Constituent Assembly , who have been Ministers , and members of the Ministry , since the 24 th . 1848 , have not "been re-elected as members of the Legislative Assembly , and are not likely to obtain seals : —MM . Trouve Mauvet , _Flocon , Marie , Senard , Gamier Pages , Dapont de l'Eure , Lamartine , Freston , I / eon de Malleville . Goudchaux , Recurt , Bastide , Yaulabelle , Tourret , Trelat , Carnofc . The following members , who took an active part in the public business , have also failed in their elections : —MM . _Bacbez , Marrast , _JDiiYergjer _de-ELauxanne _, B ' _-llault , Pagnerre _, Jules Favre , Dupont de Bussac _, Bureaux de Pusy , Degousse , Clement
Thomas , Perree , Ducoux , Berger , Proudhon , Bu-• ngnier , Audry de Puyraveau . Joly- , Chambolle , _Portalis , Georges and Edmond Lafayette , _Bucos , & c The Expiring Assembly . —On _Saturday after along discussion on the stamp duties , - which came to no result , the order of the day was read for the first _reading of the bill relative to the bill introduced by M . Iison Faucher for the continuance for three months of the powers conferred on General Changarnier . Several government members contended warmly that ths question ought to he
postponed , because the Assembly would not have time to decide upon it definitively . The opposition , on the contrary , contended that it should be taken into immedia e consideration , and that it should not be subjected to the formality of three readings . A motion was then made that the farther consideration of the measures should be adjourned , which was rejected b y a majority of 294 to 254 . This vole pioduced a great deal of agitation . The discussion on the bill itself tben commenced . After a stormy debate the Assembly rejected the bill . The numhere
were—For the bill . . . . 210 Against it . . . . 293 Majority against Ministers . 83 M . Odillon Barrot then end-avowed to iuduce the Assembly to suspend its sittings , in order to allow time for the preparation of the Hall for the "New Assembly , bnt tbe majority refused . Wednesday . —The National Assembly was occu * pied to the close of its sittings yesterday with a discussion produced by the interpellations of M . Sarrans relative to the affairs of Rome and ihe intervention of Russia in Hungary . The reply of the Minister of Foreign Affairs was to the effect that the conduct of tbe government in relation to Some was str ' ctly in
accordance with the vote come to by the Assembly , and with regard to Russia the government had addressed letters on the subject to the Cabinets of St . Petersburg , "Vienna , Berlin , and London . The policy of the government was , he added , to negotiate on the subject , and irom that course it was determined not to deviate , as it considered it best suited to the interests of the country . M . Joly proposed an order of the day motive , which was tantamount to an immediate declaration of war . Geueral Cavai gnac warmly opposed its adoption , and proposed another , merely calling en the government to use the most energetic measures to protect liberty and
the Republic The order of the day pure and simple was proposed . A very stormy scene " ensued . Many ot the representatives quitted the Chamber to avoid voting on the order of lhe day , when itwas put from the chair that the balloting urns should he left open till seven o ' clock' , when , if the number of votes was not completed , the sitting _shou'd be declared en permanence . One member cried out that those who abstained should be declared 7 _tors la lot . A scene of tbe utmost violence both preceded and followed the _aunout-cement _, the members of the Mountain standing on their benches , and shouting vociferously _.
At length something like order was restored , and several who had taken no part in the commencement came in and gave their votes , and also those who had manifested their intention , not to vote deposited their bulletins in the urn . At seven o ' clock precisely tbe division was closed , when tbe numbers were—for the order of the day , ' pure and simple , ' fifty-three ; against it , 459 . Majority against Misisters , 406 . A third order of tbe day was proposed by M . Bastide , which was ordered to be printed . The Assembly rose at a quarter-past seven o ' clock in a state of great excitement .
The Ministry . —The Ministry went on Sunday evening last ( says the Patrie *) and tendered their resignations in a body to the President of the Republic General Bugeaud arrived suddenly in Paris yesterday , being called up b y government . Mo * s » a *»\—The negotiations for the formation of a new cabinet have been going on with great activity to-day , but nothing has been definitivel y settled . There appeares to be little doubt , however , that Marshal Bugemd will be the new President of the Council of Ministers , and that he will be joined by if . de Falloux and M . Buffet , two members ef the present Cabinet . The other members of the present Cabinet , namely , M . Odillon Birrot , M . Passy , and M . Lacrosse , endeavoured to form a Ministerial combination without M . de Falloux and Buffet ; but they have failed . It is understood that it was on the
Italian question that tne difference of opinion occurred which led to the breaking up of the Odillon Barrot Cabinet . Tcesdat . —Marshal Bugeaud is to be Minister of "War and President of the Council of the new administration . It is as yet uncertain who will fill up tbe subordinate posts , hut it is probable that M . Leon Faucher will be Minister of Finance , and that M . Falloux will remain in his present post . The President of the Republic and the moderate
party who counsel him , see iu General Bugeaud an anchor of safety . The army loves him , they say , and he will thus have sufficient power to put down insurrection . This is a bold and desperate step taken by Louis Napoleon . His new President of the Council is not liked in Paris . He is the enemy at once of the Socialists and ofthe Cavaignac party , including MM . Dufaure and Lamoriciere , and it remains to be seen whether , with the numberof partisans these two parties possess in the chamber , be will be able to obtain a working majoritvi
A grand review took place to-day in the Champ de Mars , in presence of the President of the Republic . The object of the review was to ascertain the real feeling ofthe troops with respect to the govenraent , it having been so currently reported tbat the Socialists had succeeded in withdrawing many of them from their allegiance . The number of troops on the ground was upward of 40 , 000 . Their appearance was certainly magnificent . The troops saluted the President of the Republic with loud cries of * Vive Napoleon , ' _«" vive le President , ' and occasionally of * Vive la Republique ! * The Republican Guard , which was the first that defiled "before the President , called 'Vive la Republique Democratiqne « _# Sociale ! ' The crowds of lookers-on were very cold in their reception of the President . Ou leafing the Palace of the Elysee , and again on his return , Louis Napoleon was warmly received .

It adds that the Ministry continues to carry on the administration as usual , and that there will be ' no interval in the action of the executive power . ' This rectification does not deny tbe existence of a Ministerial crisis . » Le Peuple' publishes the following letter from _Serjeant-Major Boichot : — ' _Citizen Editor , —After having vainly tried arbitrary measures to prevent my election , certain reactionaries are endeavouring by a system of base calumny to raise doubts as to the sincerity of my democratic and Socialist convictions . I oppose lhe most energetic contradiction to all these fables . —Health and Fraternity . Boichot-Sergeant-Major of the 7 th Light Infantry . '
One of the lately elected representatives of the peeple for the department ofthe Creuse , named Nadland , is an operative mason , and may be seen at work every day at a house in process of construction in the neighbourhood of the Pantheon . He has declared that he will not abandon his trowel until the day of his installation in the Legislative Assembly .
GERMANY . The Fbankfort Parliament . —On the 16 th inst . M . Simon , of Treves , brought on a motion d ' urgence , which was to declare , that since the Regent p ersisted in leaving the affairs without a Minister to direct them , an executive committee of five should be named by the National Assembly -for the carrying out ofthe Constitution . ' A considerable majority declared that the debate should not at present take place upon the _subject . Tbis intermezzo bad only just ended when a message from the Regent , dated tbis day , announced that he had nominated MGraevell Minister of the Interior and ad interim
President of the Council . I cannot describe the universal laughter caused by this announcement . In the sitting of the 17 th the House was informed of the Archduke Regent having formed his new Cabinet , and a programme was read , in which the new Ministers declared that they did not intend to execute the Constitution of Germany . After the reading of this programme , M . Welker moved a sweeping vote of want of confidence in the new Cabinet ; and , after a short debate , the House resolved to divide on M . _Welker ' s motion , which tbe Assembly accepted ( by 191 votes against 12 ) in the following form : — ' After having been informed ot the formation of a new Cabinet , and after the _reading of
the programme of that Cabinet , the Parliament declares that it cannot place any confidence in the said Cabinet ; and that , under existing circumstances , it considers the appointment of the said Cabinet as an insult offered to the representatives of the nation . ' In the sitting of the 18 th , M . Gravell , President of tbe Council , in reply to a question from M . Simon , of Treves , declared that Hessian and Wurtemburg troops have been concentrated on tbe frontiers of tbe grand duchy of Baden , not with views hostile to the constitution of the empire , hut to take possession again of the federal fortress of Rastadt , and protect the states bordering the grand duchy of Baden . He then declared that the vicar of the empire , in the hope of an amicable arrangement
of the differences respecting the constitution of the empire , had thought it right to send a courier to bis Prussian Majesty , and tbat the answer to his overtures would serve as a guide to his ulterior conduct . The vicar of the empire , he added , had received his mandate from thc National Assembly , and his power had been conferred on him in the name of the governments by the Germanic diet . When , therefore , it will be requisite to lay down his mandate , he will only do so in the midst of the Assembly ; but as far as concerns his power , he will resign it into the bands of the governments . As for the ministry of the empire , it _conceives itself bound to remain temporarily in power , nouuhstanding the distrust implied in the vote of the National Assembly .
The Assembly then passed to the order of the day , that is to say , to the discussion of the propositions from the Committee of Thirty , for the formation of a regency of the empire . The discussion was adjourned to the following morning . On the 19 th , the following resolution was put to the vote , and carried by a majority of 126 to 116 : — ' That the Assembly elect forthwith , if possible , from amongst the reigning princes , a stadtholder of the empire , who , up to the time set forth in the resolutions ofthe 4 th of May ( Nos . 5 and 6 ) , shall , according to the 3 rd section of the imperial constitution , enjoy the rights and fulfil the duties of the supreme head of . tbe empire . '
The other sections of the resolution provide for the taking the oath to the constitution on the part of the stadtholder and public functionaries , for his carrying out the decision of the Assembly relating to the next elections and the convocation of the first imperial diet , for the exercise by the present Assembly of all the rights of the imperial diet until the latter be convoked , and for _continuing the stadtholder in his office , even after the imperial diet has
been convened , in case there should be insurmountable obstacles to the conferring of the supreme dignity on the sovereign of the greatest , or the next greatest , state of Germany . The last section declares that , with tbe carrying out of the resolution in question—inasmuch as the work of establishing the constitution of Germany will be then completed —the power of the central executive will cease , and all Its attributes will be transferred to the stadtholder ofthe empire .
The following resolution was also adopted : — * That , in case the vicar of the empire , as threatened by the ministry , should transfer his powers _otherwise than into the hands of the National Assembly , such transfer be declared by the National Assembly null , illegal , and not binding . BADEN . —We have dates from Carlsruhe and Mannheim to May 16 th . Carlsruhe was in a very unsettled state ; several thousand volunteers bad arrived , and a great number of persons had fled to _Wurtemberg or France . The soldiers had proceeded to the election of their officers ; very young menhad been named captains and majors .
BERLIN , May 14 . —The Prussian government have struck the first decisive blow at the Frankfort Assembly . The Prussian deputies have been recalled . The decree of their recall appears In the ' Staats-Anzeiger' of this evening , aud is as follows ' ROYAL ORDINANCE . ' 1 . The commission of tbe deputies elected in the Prussian state to the German National Assembly on the ground of the Diet ' s decrees of March 30 , and April 7 , 1848 , and our own ordinance ofthe 11 th of the latter month , are expired .
' 2 . This , our present ordinance , is to be set before the deputies by our plenipotentiary at Frankfort-on-Maine for their observance , and with the injunction to abstain from taking any part in the further proceedings of the Assembly . ' Frederick William . ' Given at Charlottenburg , May 14 , 1849 . ' ( Fromthe 'Times . ' ) The last advices from Elberfeld and the insurgent districts in the ' Kolner Zeitung' are of the 17 th inst . They inform us of the successful repression of the insurrection . Elberfeld , Iserlohn _. and the other towns , have returned to obedience , and in the case of iserlohn only was the interference of the
military wanted . In the combat which took place in | hat town , the 8 th Rifles suffered severely , and had some of their officers killed , but the insurgents were at length reduced to obedience . The submission of Elberfeld was caused by tbe return of a de . pntation which that town had sent to Berlin , and which brought assurances of the King ' s acceptation of the Frankfort Constitution , such as it had been in the first reading , with only a few slight modifications . This news operated a sudden change in Elberfeld ; the citizens and Landwehr removed tbe barricades , and a troop of rank Republicans who had participated in the rising were induced to quit the town . They marched into the country , where they dispersed . Most of their leaders were arrested .
Letters from the Rhine frontier announce tbat two regiments of Prussian infantry , which had been ordered into Bavaria , have put their officers to death , and joined the people . isKRLOHN . —This important manufacturing town , which had been during several days in the posseslion of the insurgents , waB taken on the 17 th by the troops of the line , who , enraged at the loss of Lieut .-Col . Scbrotter , who was killed during the contest in the town , committed great excesses , killing not less than ten persons in one house ,
The War In Hungary. The - Pesther Zeitun...
THE WAR IN HUNGARY . The - Pesther Zeitung' of the 6 th inst ., contains the following news : — ' Kossuth in a report to the National Assembly , in which he terms himself , in accordance with the national desire , President and Governor of Hungary and all the countries thereto appertaining , had appointed the following ministry Minister of Interior and President of the Council , Barthol Czemeri ; of Foreign Affairs , Count Casimir _Bathyanyj of tinance , Duschek ; of Puhlic Works , Czanyi ; Worship , Michael Hoivath , Bishop of Czanad ; Justice , Bakovics ; War and Commerce to be named later . ' According to the last report of four o ' clock on the afternoon of the 6 th , Ofen had been bombarded during twenty-eight hoars , and already a breach opened . The Hungarian batteries are planted on ihe Adlar , Schwaban , and Blonksberg .
The bombardment of Pesth from Ofen had begun on the 4 th inst ., and been exceedingly destructive both to property and life . On the afternoon of the 6 ih the firing on Pesth ceased , and Gorgey was requested by the government commmissioner franyi to send an officer to Ofen to parley , and stop the continuation of hostilities against Pesth , on pain of the garrison being put to the sword on the capture of the fortress . A letter from Galatz of the 23 rd ult ., mentions that General Bem is gone to attack Warsaw .
DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS BY THE HUNGARIANS . The - Cologne _Gazette' of the 19 th ( 2 nd edition ) , states , on the authority of one of its Vienna correspondents , that Bern bad attached and disarmed a Russian corps of 30 . 000 men ; that a great number of the Russian officers had gene over to his side : that the Hungarians had captured sixty pieces of cannon * and that the disarmed Russians had been driven across the frontier . It must be remarked that neither date nor place is given for these extraordinary statements , which were also published in another Cologne paper on the evening of the 18 th . Another correspondent further writes us word , on the Hth of May , that Field Marshal Parkiewich with 18 . 000 men had attempted to enter Transylvania , but had been attacked by Bem and entirely _r-uted .
THE RUSSIAN INVASION . Cracow , May 11 . —Of the Russian troops which marched from Poland through Cracow into Galicia , two battalions , with _twelve twelve-pounders , returned to Cracow at five , in the afternoon of the 8 th , from Makow , in the circle of Wadowice . The citizens fell into great consternation and terror , fear ing tbat the Russians , defeated by the Magyars , would pillage their town . But the same troops were presently sent off by the railway into Silesia . On the
9 lh , fresh troops , eight squadrons of Uhlans , poured in from the Russian side . To-day arrived 4 , 000 infantry , later a regiment of Hussars , and at four _, three battalions more of infantry . The number of Russian troops that have in all , up to this dale , passed thiough Sracow , cannot be set down at less than 30 , 000 . They have not yet penetrated into Hungary , bnt are encamped at Jordanow , only ten miles from the Magyar outposts . The borses , which are only shod in the _forefeet , arc said to have suffered a good deal from the bad roads .
The following ukase , relating to the Russian intervention in Hungary , has been published in St . Petersburg : — ' By the grace of God , We , Nicholas I ., Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russias _, declare to the nation , having , by our manifesto of the 14 th of March , 1848 , informed our subjects of the miseries which afflicted Western Europe , we at the same time made known how we were ready to meet our enemies wherever they might show themselves , and ihat we should , without sparing ourselves , in conjunction indissoluble with our sacred Russia , defend the honour of the Russian name , and the inviolability of our frontiers .
' The commotions and rebellions of the west have not since then ceased . Guilty delusion , enticing the thoughtless crowd with visionary dreams of that prosperity which can never be the fruit of wilfulness and obstinacy , has entered the east and the dominions contiguous to us , subjects of the _Turkish empire , viz ., Moldavia and Wallaehia . Only by the presence of our troops , together with those of Turkey , has order been restored and maintained ; butin Hungary and Transylvania the efforts of the Austrian government , distracted already by another war with foreign and domestic enemies in Italy , have not yet been able to triumph over rebellion . On the contrary , strengthening itself by hordes of our Polish traitors ef 1831 , and of others , foreigners , outcasts , runaways , and vagrants , the rebellion has developed itself there to a most threatening degree .
' in the midstof these unfortunate events the Emperor of Austria has addressed himself to us with the wish for our assistance against our common enemies . We shall not refuse hira . ¦ Having called to the assistance of tbis righteous enterprise the Almighty Leader of Baltics and Lord of Victories , we have commanded our armies to move forward for the extinction of rebellion , and the destruction of audacious and evil-intentioned men , who endeavour to disturb the peace of our dominions also . Let God be with us , and who shall be against us ? 'So—we are convinced of it—so feels , so hopes , so aspires our God-reserved nation , every Russian , every true subject of ours , and Russia will fulfil her mission . '

ITALY . TIIE ROMAN REPUBLIC . THE NEAPOLITANS AGAIN DEFEATED . . Rome , Thursday , May 10 . —Yesterday there was some sharp fighting at Palestrina , about sixteen miles east-south-east of Rome , the ancient Praeneste , between Garibaldi ' s division and a Neapolitan corps . Without further preface , I will translate the two documents , a bulletin * and an ' official report , ' which have been published on the subject •¦—* OFFICIAL BULLETIN . FIRST ITALIAN LEGION OF
GENERAL GARIBALDI . ' Palestrina , May 9 , Quarter-past Eight p . m . 1 A complete victory . Tbe enemy , 7 , 000 strong , entirely routed . We have taken three pieces of artillery two mutilated , onegood . The firing commenced at half-past four , and finished at dusk . More exact details shall be sent in an hour . Palestrina is illuminated . Daverio , Chief of the General Staff . ' ' OFFICIAL KEPORT . —ITALIAN LEGION ,
COMMANDED BY GARIBALDI . Palestrina , May 9 , Nine p . m . _« The combat of to day could not have had a bettor termination . The Neapolitans , to thc number of 7 . 000 , with 800 cavalry , arrived in the evening of yestprday , at Valmontone ; and were annoyed by us during the night with a fire of musketry , pushed up to the walls . To-day they attempted to strike a decisive blow at us . Three roads lead from this place to Valmontone , which all meet in cue at two " musket-shots beyond Palestrina . The enemy divided his forces into two bodies ; one was directed upon our left , by the road which runs from this to Cave , with a branch to Valmontrone , the other upon our right , by Lugnano . At tbe centre a skirmish took place , in which three of the Royalists were killed , without any of our men being hurt .
' At half-past four the enemy , whose coming we ardently _lon-ted for , appeared . All was ready . The fire began from our left , the enemy replying with cannon , as well as musketry . None of our men gave ground for an instant ; but stood nailed to their post , like lions made fierce by thirst of blood . After as . hour ' s firing , the enemy made a movement in retreat ; a detachment of our troops , sent to the left , under shelter of tbe high ground , opened a fire upon his flank , well nourished and directed with such skill and steadiness that we had the satisfaction of seeing the enemy betake himself to a precipitate flight , leaving many dead and wounded , with three pieces of artillery , two of them disabled . He was pursued for a considerable distance , and , though very clever at running , some prisoners were made . Meanwhile another body of troops came upon our left
, by the pathway of Zagarolo , to which leads a track branching from the _post-road of Frosinone , in the neighbourhood of Lugnano : they were drawn up in mass , with a vanguard of cavalry : another body of cavalry , deployed upon their left flank , was posted in reserve . This body arrived in good order at tne point where the roads crossed each other , and opened a fire from one piece of artillery . Their _object was to repair the repulse they had received on the other side , and they attempted to deploy some battalions on this quarter , but our troops were too firm at their posts to allow them to pass ; thereupon they changed their tactics , and attempted to pene-The fire with which tbey were met was too keen they tried a last effort , but unsuccessfully .

A single company of ours urn ced to pursue him for more than a mile , repulsing and almost destroying a squadron of cavalry , which had in despair attempted a charge . ' Timsit is proved that the Italians , when they fight , conquer-for those only are Italians who contend for liberty .

_^" " daverio , Chief of the Staff of Gen . Garibaldi . ' Decree of the Triumvirs forthe _Liueration of French PRisoNERS . —In the name of God aud the people , 'considering that between the French people and Rome there is not , nor can exist , a state of war ; that Home defends her own inviolability as a duty and as a right , deprecating any offence be _t-veen the two republics as a crime against the common faith of both : that the Roman people do not hold responsible for the deeds of a deceived go vernment the soldiers who , iu fighting , obey their orders , the triumvirate decree all the French soldiers made prisoners on the 30 th April are set free , and will be sent back to the French army . The Roman people will great with a fraternal applause and demonstration the brave soldiers of the sister French Republic—May 3 . ' '
. . Immediately after the above decree was issued , the French soldiers were seen walking arm in arm with the Romans , previously to marching to their camp . The « Corriere Mercantile' of Genoa , of tne Htn inst ., states that General Oudinot immediately embarked the French pr isoners returned from Rome for Corsica , without allowing them to mix with the other troops . On the _subject of the menaced Spanish attack , the foUowing proclamation has been issued by the Triumvirate : —' Romans ! Spain also addresses . to you , in proud words , as is its wont , an insolent defiance . Thus the quire is complete . Austria , France ,
and Spain , try to renew old history , responsive to the summons of a Pope ; but thai history no longer repeats itself in the same terms , and against ancient usage stands the new conscience of nations . Behind the bayonets of General O'idiriot stands the generous-French people ; behind tbe Imperial sword of Radetski are the Valiant Hungarians and the democracy of Vienna ; behind the haughty hidalgo who menaces Fiumicino , is a people which has no longer the strength that conquered the Moors , nor the gold of the New World . However , be they two
or three , the difference is small , and Rome will not stir from its lofty purpose . These onr visitors found , three centuries and a half ago , an Italy in tlie throes of death ¦ they find now an Italy arising from its trance , the Italy of the people . The Roman people , which feels the obligation of belying their calumnies , of combating their injustice , of accomplishing its mission by saving Rome and Italy , awaits them , undaunted and firm against every trial . A people which has a mission to accomplish in the sight of humanity , and eternal justice cannot die .

After observing that the Roman question , hitherto a political one , has now assumed a religious character , and that all Europe conspires to impose a detected power upon three millions of men , who declared it for ever fallen , this _documant proceeds to state that a great people , recalling its old traditions of glory , has shaken off its slumber and awoke to the life of nations . If the prince whom Europe
would restore at Rome were , like many others , the mere inheritor of vulgar privileges , the consequences of the struggle would be limited to a greater or lesser number of victims ; were the task Europe assumes a mere question of independence or servitude , it might be loaded with malediction , but _stiil the moral interests of the human race would not suffer . But the actual object of Europe shakes the edifice of religion to its very foundations , and crushes faith in thousands of hearts . The whole state of Rome has declared the downfall of the temporal power of the pontiff ; and , though under the menace ofa French , an Austrian , and a Neapolitan invasion , all the municipalities have boldly protested against its restoration . Is this the mere voice of a faction ? The
consequence is , that many believers now ask themselves whether he who represents a religon of peace has a right to reassert temporal power by force of arms ; and , as it is easy to confound the doctrine with its apostle , many begin to doubt of the truth of religion in consequence of the acts of its head , and cannot conceive how a religion that once redeemed the world from slavery is now changed into a weapon intended to transform free men into slaves . ' Let Europe , ' says the document in conclusion , ' reflect be / ore she _proceeds ; the struggle is no longpr between one army and another , nor between one class of men aud another ; but it is a struggle that embraces a whole moral world uf ideas ( hopes , and faiih _, that may have an echo in the most distant generations . ' ( From the ' Morning Chronicle . ' )
Rome , May 12 . —Apropos of the _Neapolitans , a number of letters and journals have come to hand at the post-office here , from Naples , directed to the superior officers of the invading corps , in Rome . This was reckoning a little without their host ; things are not quite come to that point yet . < Siege of Bologna . —The 'Milan Gazette' of the 13 th inst . states that hostilities having recommenced at Bologna after the armistice , the town has been blockaded , and the waters of the aqueduct and the canal ot the Reno cut off , so that the tovfn will have speedily to surrender for want of water and provisions .
The ' Corriere Mercantile' of Genoa of the Hth inst ., contains some particulars about the renewal of the attack upon Bologna on the 9 th . Hostilities recommenced at noon and lasted till dusk . The Austrians threw rockets upon the town from the suburb of San Michale , and cannonaded it from thc _Palaazo Aldini . A combined attack upon the Galliera , Felice , Isaia , and Saragozza gates , toolplace at the same time ; all which were repulsed , while the Bolognese cannon did great execution among the Austrians at the Annunziata . The Bolognese have 2 , 000 troops of the line .
Fall ov Bologna . —Letters from Turin announce that the Austrians have taken _Bidogna by assault , after a heroic defence b y the inhabitants . The number of killed on both sides is very great . TUSCANY . —Butchery of the Patriots . — The ' Corriere Mercantile , ' of the 16 th , states , from Leghorn , that upwards of 200 persons have been shot there . Persons wearing the national colours , though perfectly quiet in every other respect , have been shot without a trial . Many houses have been sacked by the soldiery . At Florence the liberty of the press has been suspended . VENICE . —A letter from Turin of the 13 th says : — ' A new treason has been discovered at Venice . An accomplice revealed to General Pepe a conspiracy
to set fire to the arsenal , and whilst the troops of the fort of Malghera should be occupied in endeavouring to extinguish the fire ,, the Austrians were to make a terrible attack on the fort . General Pope profited by the discovery . A . short time before the hour fixed for the fire , he arrested the traitors , and having caused a large quantity of wood and straw to be placed near the arsenal , he set fire to it . The Austrians thinking that the arsenal was on fire , as had been agreed upon , commenced the assault ; . but they met with such a resistance that they were compelled to retire with heavy losses . Several hundred wounded were sent to Padua , and the besiged , profiting by the disorder of the enemy , sallied out , made 800 prisoners , and spiked the greater part of the Austrian
caxnon . NAPLES AND SICILY . ( From the'Times . ' ) We have received intelligence of the 9 th from Palermo . The city is now in the hands of the King ' s government . On the previous day the citizens had induced the Mountaineers and Free Corps to go outside the town and attack Filangieri , but the moment they had got rid of such unpleasant visitors , the National Guard closed the gates against them and refused to let them re-enter . In the meantime the Neapolitan troops came up , and a dreadful massacre , it is said , took place of the Republicans , who fled on every side , ' and were pursued by the Royal troops . The king ' s flag was then hoisted , and the city h _& 9 now made its formal submission , and the civil war is at an end .
CANADA . Montreal , May 8 . —The parliament was not in session to-day } it . will convene on Monday next , and hold its sessions m the new building owned by Mr . Hayes , called the Freemason s' Hall , but it is said that the seat of government is to alternate four years at Quebec and _ToroutOi

W 1 The _% itation still continues in the eastern townships . All is quiet in Montreal . . Quebec partook of the general « c » teme * ot ncdental upon the Rebellion Losses Bill having been sanctioned . The Governor-General was burnt in effigy on Friday _evening last . Resistance was made bv a section of the Irish party who professed ultra Repeal doctrines , and a fight ensued , which was finallv quelled by the police . The military were in attendance , but were not required . One man was
wounded , but not seriously . On Saturday an attempt was made to burn Sir A . M'Nab in _effij-y , but the moderate of the Irish party prevented it . On _Sundav a mass meeting of the French Canadians was held / aided by ihe same Repeal followers , and a deputation sanctioned to proceed to the seat ol government to _present an addrefs to the Governor-General , offering defence and condolence . On Monday large parties again assembled , but all passed off quietly .
There is a talk of arming on both sides , and the papers in the Canadian interesr talk most loudly . M _\ _y 4 . —News from all over the country still continues ' to pour in , both by telegraph and mail , of the monster meetings got up to protest against the Indemnity Bill , and to get up petitions Io the Queen to recall the Governor . We have , just received word from Toronto of an immense meeting held there for the above-named object , and the appointment of Sir Alan M'Nab as a delegate to England . There was fierce debate in tbe Assembly yesterday evening upoi * a motion of adjournment—bitter criminations and recriminations passed between both parties .
Mr . _Papineau , the old leader of the rebellion , made a furious attack on the Ministry , charging them with incapacity , and being the cause of all the disturbances , Mr . Solicitor-General Drumraond replied by charging" him witli _llie desire of annexation to the United States , and of being ihe first Governor of the new State . Sir Alan M'Nab raked up recollections of murder and outrage committed during the rebellions Of 1837 and , 1838 . The Ministry deprecated the cause of the argument as being got up for mere party purposes , and said that at a proper time they were prepared to justify the whole of that proceeding . The President : of the Council likewise said that one of the causes of the excitement was the desire of annexation , which he deprecated .
There were no new disturbances in the city yesterday , but there doubtless would have been if , the House had not adjourned at an earl y hour . Large placards were posted all over the city , _unanimously signed by the influential inhabitants , urging the necessity of maintaining peace and order . The excitement i < great , and there are rumours that Upper Canada will rise . A few days will sh « w if it be true .
UNITED STATES . Everything in the way of news in the United States is torpid and dull . There are no political movements whatever . The intelligence from California presents no new feature . People continue to wend their way to the new El Dorado by thousands and tens of thousands . At Independence , Missouri , there were 5 , 000 encamped , waiting for milder weather to start the grass on the prairies , and the numbers were daily augmenting . Many had returned from the Rio
Grande , their companions having died of cholera , and many desire to return from the Isthmus of Panama , where death is also busy , especially with those who have no means to proceed further . In Texas , too , the cholera has been very fatal , while at New Orleans , the deaths average nearly 200 per week . The pestilence is fast travelling up the rivers , and the victims of cholera at St . Louis were last week forty six . Apprehensions are entertained that the mortality will be great throughout the country soon after the commencement of the hot season .
An interesting correspondence is published in the American papers between Lady Franklin and Mr . J M . Clayton , Secretary of State , respecting the arctic expedition . The American government promise whi , i alacrity ' that every effort will be made to lay the subject before our whalers , and induce them to undertake the work for wliich the British government have offered so high a reward . ' We are lost in amazement to perceive how ths masses of the people are everywhere cunningly arrayed against each other for destruction . In the case of ihe Roman difficulties , curses loud and deep are uttered against the French , for their interven .
tion in favour of the Pope . It does seem strange indeed that this soi disant republic should unile with Austria to restore the government ol' priests , spies , and inquisitions . One would think that the discoveries recently made at Rome of the dungeons of the Holy-office would be enough to arm the world against such a temporal and religious power as that which has so long depressed Italy . There is a serious talk here of raising a protestant fund for the aid ofthe Roman republicans . It is agitated in private but _influential circles , and Ihough it may be disguised in its exterior , it will be not less positive in its object .
h migration is again pouring Us full tide upon us . Three thousand paupers were landed in this city in two days last week . The Irish predominate . How long is _Treland to pour forth these wretched crowds ? Is her population larger than th & t of continental Europe ? It would seem so . The moment these people arrive they commence begging . The streets swarm with them . INDIA .
MORE ROBBERY . —THE ANNEXATION OF THE PUNJAUB . Bombay , April l " . —Dost Mahomed and his _Affghaiis have escaped back t . _i Cabool . The war is over . The Punjaub is British territory . In these brief sentences may he announced " the event which have transpired during the last fortnight in relation to that country to which aU eyes have for a long time past been so _nagerly directed . 1 informed you . in my . last of the arrival at AUock of General Sir . W . R . Gilbert and his army , in hot pursuit of the flying Ameer of Cabool , who , vanquished on the field of Goojerat , was making the best ofhis way towards the Kh yher Pass , en route
to his own capital . It was supposed our politicals had succeeded in gaining over the Khyberies by bribery , and that these people would oppose the passage of the Dost through the defile of whieh they were Hie self-appointed keepers . Bat if any mone ' v was paid , the Dost must have outbid us for their favour , for he entered the Khyber Pass just as General Gilbert crossed the Indus , and bad made his way to Jellabal before the latter reached Pesh awur . When the British general arrived at the capital ofthe province , he found that the Affghans had destroyed the villages and suburbs around , and set fire to the cantonments , and to the former residence of Major General Lawrence .
On the 29 th of March a proclamation was drawn up , declaring the Sikh dynasty at an end , and the Punjaub annexed to the British dominions . This was promulgated the following day , prefaced bv a hrief notification from the Governor-General . The two documents run as follow : —

them bythe government of India have never been re « The control of the British government , to which they voluntarily submitted themselves , has been resisted by arms _, -r . ¦ ¦ . a . Peace has been cast aside . . British officers h ave been murdered when acting for the State others engaged in theHkeemp ' _oymen-fc have treacherously beenthrown into captivity . Finally , thc army of the State , and the whole Sikh people , joined by many of the sirdars in the Punjaub who signed the treaties , and led by a member of thc Regency itself , have risen in arms against us , and have waged a fierce and bloody war for the proclaimed purpose of destroying the British and their power . The government of India tormerly declared tl-atifc desired no fur , her conquest , and it proved by its acts the sincerity of its profession . them bvtlie government of India have never been _rememuyu _* 0 n ; iid .
Tlie government of India has no desire for connuestnow ; but it is bound in du y to provide fully for its own security , and to guard tho interests of those committed to its charge . To that end , and as the only sure mode of protecting the _Stite from the perpetual recurrence of unprovoked and wasting wars , the Governor-General is compelled to resolve upon tho entire subjection of a people whom their own government has long been unable to control , and whom ( as events have now shown ) no punishment can deter from violence , no acts of friendship can conciliate to peace . Wherefore the Governor-General of India has dec ' ared and hereby proclaims that the kingdom of thc Punjaub is at an end ; and tbat all the territories of Maharaja Dhuleep Singh-are - now and henceforth a portion of the British empire in India . His Highness the Maharaja shall be treated with consideration and with honour .
The few chiefs win have not engaged in the hostilities against the British shall retain their _property and their rank . The British government will leave to all the people , whether Musselmen , Hindoo , or Sikh , the free exercise of their own religions ; but it will not permit any man to interfere with others in the observance cf such _f-rm-s and customs as their respective religions may either enjoin or permit . Thcjagheers , and all the prop rty of sirdars or others who have b en in arms against the British , shall be confiscated to the State . The defences of every fortified p ' . ice in the Punjaub , which is not occupied by British troops shall be totally destroyed , and effectual measures shall be taken to deprive ths people ofthe _mentis of renewing either tumult or war .
Over those who shaU live as obedient and _peaceful subjects of the State , the British government will rule witli mildness and _beneficence . But if resistance to constituted authority shall again be attempted—if violence and turbulence shall be renewed—the Governor-General warns thc people of the Punjaub that the time for leniency will then have passed away , and that their offence will be punished with prompt and most rigorous severity .
