Brake. 5 . Paris, Satnanat. -The Trial O...
BRAKE . 5 . Paris , _SATnanAT . -The trial of the editor of _i- the Pouvoir' at the bar of Assembly called together " -in immense audience on Thursday . A chair Was r placed in the heraicycle in front of the bureau for " the defendant . A small table , covered with a green cloth , occupied the usual place of the first bench of _^ commissioners , at the foot of which M . _Cbafr _d'Es-: tange , the advocate for tbe defence , was to take his * defence . Tbe President of the Assembly rose , am i d J deep silence , and said that in the sitting of tbe 15 tb _«* -M . Baze had called the attention ofthe Assembly to an article of the * Ponvoir / which seemed to bim to ' attack the rights and authority wbich it held by the
_^ constitution , and to incur tba penalties which were laid down in the law of May , 1819 , and _n _* to * _cree of tbe Constituent Assembly of April , _^ wm . He therefore demanded that the WP _^ _S _JS of this journal should be cited before _^ JJ" _« _« e xS Stick fad & _pw f ° di 8 tnbt 5 t ' editor bad been summoned , and he was ready to apwi « h tbe counsel which had been allowed him
pear _forhis defence . Bat he ( the President ) would first read a letter which had been addressed to him by several representatives . Tbe President here read a letter , signed by Michel de _Bourges , and some twenty other representatives of the Mountain , declaring that the Assembly was not competent to try offences of tbe press , wbich were , by the constitution , _tubj : ct only to the jurisdiction of juries : and on these motives tbe undersigned abstained from taking any part in the trial of tbe editor of the 'Pouvoir . ' The President said tbat the abstinence
of members of the Assembly on this occasion , according to his view , was perfectly legal ; bnt , at the same . time , he looked upon tbe Assembly as justified in the coarse adopted , and competent to try attacks upon itself . The Assembly having decided against the useless delay of calling over tbe names of the members present , the President caused the defendant and bis counsel to be introduced . After tbe speech of M . Chaix d'Estange , in defence of the accused _, the Assembly caused the defendant and his advocate to retire . They then voted npon the question whether the defendant was guilty of offence against the Assembly . This was affirmed by 273
votes against 154 . As to the second question , whether the defendant was guilty of attacking the rights of the Assembly , it was decided tbat there was no occasion for deliberating on this . M . de Cronseilbes demanded that the Assembly sbould deliberate witb closed doors on the penalty to be inflicted . This was opposed by Jules Favre , bnt the Assembly decided upon forming itself iuto a secret committee . The public tribunes were then cleared . After deliberating with closed doors for an hour aud a half ihe Assembly decided , by a majority of 275 against 119 , to fine the defendant 5 , 009 fr ., but not to inflict the punishment of imprisonment .
Two persons have been arrested on a charge of setting fire to tbe forest of _Chartellerault , Vienne . The fire was prevented _vsith the _gxeatest difficulty from extending . _Nineteen booses were destroyed by fire on tbe 18 th inst in tbe commune of _Tremblayle Vicirente , Burefet Loire ; and six houses , with the whole of the crops aud eleven cows , tbe same day , in tbe village of Cnantaloup were also destroyed . There is little doubt of this destruction being the work of incendiaries . The commune of Gennevuliers , Seine , continues in a state of terror , is consequence of the repeated attempts of incendiaries . A new attempt was made a day qr two ago to bum the whole of the crops . _Several bands of persons _disguisei _* as beggars bave been observed prowling about .
Tbe National Guard of Sens , with the exception of the sab-division of cavalry , the company bf artillery , and sappers , has been dissolved by decree of the President of the _Repnblic . The * Moniteur * announces that M . Flavy , a naval surgeon , has been placed on the retired list by a decree of the President of the Republic , pursuant to the decision of a Court of Inquiry , and with reference to the unfounded statement contained in a letter addressed to' La Presse * by M . Flavy some time since , and in which he asserted that the Marquesas Islands were unfit to ba chosen as a penal settlement in consequence of tbeir insalubrity .
Sohday . —The New _Electorai . Law . —The definitive effect of the New Electoral Law is now known , and it has been ascertained that the number of Electors in France , which ia 1848 amounted to 10 , 500 , 000 , has been reduced to 3 , 250 , 000 , and still the Conservative papers say thai the principle of universal suffrage bas not been infringed . If it be true , as stated by the * Pouvoir / that none have been excluded excepting houseless beggars and repris de justice , the number of these two classes in France must be uncomfortably numerous . —Morning Chronicle .
Mokday . —Yesterday , _though not distinguished by any political event of importance , will be noted inthe history of Paris as the day on which M . JIargat mads bis ascent in a balloon from the Hippodrome , in tbe presence of tbe . President of the Bepublic , and his descent , without tbe slightest injury , in one of tbe most crowded quarters iu the -very centre of Paris . It had been announced that M , Margat , would attempt a second descent by means of his parachute . He had done so with success oa tbe previous Sunday , and the President of the Bepublic , who appears to have a morbid feeling of interest ( probably from a fellow feeling ) in witnessing tbe performances of those who make
very rapid ascent 3 , and run the risk of coming down quite as rapidly , determined to be present . The day proved unurnpitious . M . Margat and his balloon soon disappeared in the clouds . Not knowing his whereabouts , he thought it to serious a risk to attempt tbe descent in the parachute . He therefore remained in his balloon for an hour and a half , during which tbe elands had never allowed him a single glimpse of mother earth . . He thought , however , that he must be at a considerable distance from Paris , and therefore prepared to descend . Great wa 3 bis astonishment to find , on emerging
from tbe clouds , that be was still hovering over Paris . By tbe time he made the discovery he bad allowed so much gas to escape , and was so near the earth , that he had nothing for it but to make tbe best descent he could among tbe houses . For- j _tonstely for him , he secured a footing on tbe top of a house in the Rue St . Anne , where prompt assistance reached him , and both he and his balloon were speedily placed on terra firma . The President has thus seen a successful ascent , but his period far witnessing the proper mode of coming down from g idd y beigth is postponed fer a short time .
Tuesdat . —Yesterday therreaident proclaimed the result of the ballot for the committee of surveillance during the prorogation . Only fifteen names had the required majority—namely , Odillon Barret , J . de Lasteyrie , Monet . General St . Priest , General Changarnier , MM . _d'Olwier , Berryer , Nettement , Mole , General Lauristbn , General Lamoriciere , MM . Beugot , de Mornay . Dake of Moatebello , and de Laspinasse . The ballot for the remaining ten take ? place on Tuesday . v _"Websesba-t . —In the sitting of the Assembly yesterday , the 'discussion of the budget was resumed . The last chapters of the budget of public instructions were adopted without any debate oi
interest . The bouse then passed to the budget of worship . M . Barthelemy St . _Hilaire opposed the increase of 3 , 000 fr . proposed on the salary of the director of worships , while the salaries of professors of science had been cut down by the committee . The figure of the committee was adopted . After the rejection of some redactions , proposed MM . Maigne and Bourzat , the remaining chapters of the budget of . worships were adopted without any remarks worth mentioning . The house then proceed to take in hand tbe budget of the ministry of the interior . M . _Veraigny made an attack upon the police , which did not , however , prevent the . chapter of secret funds from being voted . M . Scboelcber stirred an old and Bore
question , by moving an additional chapter for giving rewards to the combatants of Juno and _February . This nmendment having been opposed "b _jMM . Baroche and Berryer , and supported by H . Daconx , was put to the vote and rejected by 370 against 183 . _Nothing elseof interestoccurred , Soring the excitement created by the new Electoral Law , the * Voix du Peuple published a petition , signed by a great number of the inhabitants of Paris , against tho measure . An action was immediately raised by the _Procureur-General against the editor _forpublishing , and the others for signing , the petition . The case came on on Monday before the Court of Assizes , when the jury returned a verdict of acquittal against all _tiie parties .
WAR IN SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN . SCHLESWIG , Jutr 18 th , — The decisive straggle between the inhabitants of Scbleswig
Brake. 5 . Paris, Satnanat. -The Trial O...
| Holstein and the Danes is rapidly * PP t _*»» Z '* _£ ? amies of both are separated but _, by _«^ _£ « g distance . lttdeed > t _^ idvanded _;^ _sts _jw _»; dy met , and a fck _^ _hotsvrere _«*^ S < _gW « t a small _taM _4 _^ l _* _»^ 2 _£ _flJ _^ : mage _beingsfe tof ;' _ei-her party . The pamsh army is niflVthe ; cbm » and of General von _Krogb j th « t of the _^ uchies , a _* sis well known , « commanded by General _Williseo , whose headquarters are at present here . Neither party waited for the expiration of tbe eleven days , within which the Prussian troops were to effect their withdrawal from _Schlesnig . General Willisen advanced into Scbleswi g on the 14 th , or the day before , and his example was
followed by the Danish General on the I 6 tb , . when he caused his troops to enter the Duchy of Scbleswig at several points . Two columns advanced from Sonderberg on that morning to Renkenis and Ovars _, two villages on the road to Flensburg . The Danish army stationed in Jutland marched simultaneously into Schieswig _, and seven battalions from ' the island of Aben were disembarked at Apenrade ; two battalions were immediately ordered southward to Flensburg . On the 17 th ( yesterday morning ) the Danish troops entered Flensburg , and immediately proceeded to occupy tbe surrounding . villages , A smaller body of Danes have , retrenched themselves atHolnis , a small promontory which approaches very closely to the opposite coast of Sunde wit , from whence they came . Patrols from this body have been seen beyond Glacksberg . Several hundred
Danish soldiers and sailors were landed yesterday on the island of Febinara , wbich lies at the southeastern extremity of Holstein ; on approaching the island the Danish vessels were fired at by the Schleswig-HoIstein batteries at Heiligenhafen , a small port on the continent of Holstein . On tbe western coast of Scbleswig too a landing has . been effected by the Danes at Hoyes , of wbich they took possession . Two comptrollers of customs and revenue , Messrs . Erogh and _Jansen , were seized , and sent on board the Danish ships . ' From the above , it will bQ se « n tbat the Danish infantry bas marched-to tbe southward . in three separate directions , but keeping close to the eastern coast .. The Danish cavalry is also progressing . _towards Jlembutg iu a southeasterly direction ; tbeir line of march is more in the centre of Scbleswig .
The _Schleswig-Holstein array , or I should say the greater portion ofit , is'in position , to the northward of this . Five thousand men still remain here , but immediately itis known ' that . the Danish army has been concentrated , they will ,-doubtlessly , join the more advanced body of the army . " Everyman of this little , army is . strengthened by the moral courage which the jiwticeof his cause instils .. They have but one -idea—tbe protection of their rights from Danish aggression ; tbey are in a high state of discipline , are commanded by brave and , intelligent officers ; to whom tbey are deservedly attached , and will no doubt give a good account of _themselvesin the coming fight . It is expected . that the armies will meet each other on the battle field within a very few hours , . v :-
_The scene' of . action will most p r o babl y be within ten miles of' tbis , and in the immediate vicinity of the mail road from Scbleswig to Flensburg . ThevDanhh army'in the field will amount probably to 35 , 000 men . General Willisen will be able to oppose to them—an army smaller in number perhaps , but infinitely tbeir superior in unanimity aud courage ; . and , moreover , officered by abler men . _> ¦ Major . Yon der Tarn , who in 1848 performed unheard of feats of bravery , combined with great military skill and discretion , though at the head of tbe most irregular body of free corps that ever existed , has been appointed a lieutenant-colonel in the army of the Duchies , and is chief of the staff . '
The Russian , fleet is hovering about the coast between Fiensburgh and Kiel . In the former port one of the steamers bas run aground , and it is said there is not much hope of getting her off again . A division of the Russian fleet , with several Danish steamers ' stiff lies off : Kiell . The latter took , possession , on the 15 th , of several vessels belonging to the Duchy of Holstein , regardless of the > article in the treaty of the 2 nd inst ., which requires that all Danish intervention in Holstein must be preceded by an intimation to the Germanic Confederation . Letters from Hamburgh' of July 19 says : —A telegraphic dispatch from Cusbaven , dated half-past eleven o ' clock this morning , states that cannonading of heavy ordnance has been beard for abont two hours ' , apparently in a north-westerly direction , the wind being north-east .
HANOVER , —Both the Chambers of Hanover bare declared tbat they consider - tbe peace concluded between Prussia and Denmark so dishonourable to Germany , and have called upon the government to do what the honour of the nation demands . ' , _-.-. H A MBURGH , Jr / vr 19 . —The intelligence that the Danish naval force bad taken possession of the Island of Fehruern , on . the extreme eastern point ef Holstein , which is only divided by a narrow sound from tbe mainland , bas '• _caused some sensation in this place , as being the firsY warlike , fact which has come to hand .- ' ' . " ''
BERLIN , _'Jult 19 . —The Danish commodore , who has bis flag on board the Skiold _line-ofbattle ship , has announced . to the consuls of neutral nations at Kiel that the blockade of that port and adjacent coast will be commenced forthwith . It is to be supposed that _»_ aiihh squadron will also appear in the _North Sea , and that it will overhaul all vessels bound for Holstein ports ; among others , for Gtack ' _stsdt , _<_ c ., iii the Elbe . The Danish cruisers have already captured some small craft upah the eastern coast , and preveat all communication between Holstein . and Schieswig by water . "' ¦"
It is a notorious fact tbat numerous v & Janleers arrive daily at Hamburgh from divers parts of Germany , for the purpose of enlisting iu the Holstein insurrectionary army , and that their passports are vise tot ' ¦ Holstein by the local f authorities in all directions . The divers German committees _estab _lished for . the purposes of procuring money and supplies for Holstein / are active in maay parts of the country . * Several members of the Hanoverian Chambers bave drawn up and published an address to all their German countrymen . The following : passage will suffice at a specimen : —f ' .
• German"Brothers ! . 'According . toi the Berlin I treaty Schleswig-Holstein , for which the German Confederation pledged , its . word ; for which the whole nation rose in arms ' . with whom our brave soldiers contracted a brotherhood of blood—Schleswig-Holstein is to be abandoned .- This is nopeac for a faithful German people . Let us now show that tbe German people—the people . of Hanover is incapable of abandoning their brothers in the hour of peril ; that jfe , so long as other assistance is not wanted , iare ; resolved . to . cast from us a disgrace which would bring down shame on the German name and render us the laughing-stock of all nations . '
. AUSTRIA . Vienna , Jutr 18 . - —It is understood that Gen . Haynauhas refused to accept the pension attached to his rank in retreat , ' and that he will proceed to pass the remainder _; of . _MiUlaja ih Hesse ( Cassel ) , of which country he is a native . Count Wilmoden entered upon his functions as General Commanding the 5 th army upon the 13 th inst . \ The disgrace of General Haynau continues to divide public attention
with the 'Virgin of Schleimbacb , _' -who has excited general wonder' and a superstitious belief of a miracle , from her perspiring blood' which , ' unless we err , is a disease hot unknown to medical men , and at various times iecoided . Tha ' girl , who lies ma pitiful but excited state in the village of Schleinibacb , is visited by hundreds of superstitious persons ,., who- believe that she is capable of perfomming cares , and tbat these transpirations occur when tbe spirit moves , and when she is in a prophetic state .
SPAIN . Madrid , July 16 . —The news from Spain is important . The 'Gaceta'contains two royal orders , which completely demolish all liberty , of the press . By the 1 st article of the first royal order every publication may be . denounced and confiscated , the tendency of wbich is to destroy the social organisation and principle of government established in the constitution of the state , although this tendency be only shown by making abstract reflections or applications to foreign nations . The
remaining articles inflict a similar doom on all writings afluding to the private history . of any person or family , or containing doctrines contrary to religion and social , ties . The second royal order prohibits tbe introduction of foreign works without previous _permission of the authorities . These arbitrary ordinances have arisen from ! an article _published by the ' Patrie , ' seized , as you are aware , a day or two ago , in which the King was said to have insisted much on the convocation of the Cortes on the Queen ' s delivery day , arid the Government blamed for acting alone - in so delicate a conjunc-

Piedmont . —A case of some importance was definitely judged on the 15 th , at _Casale , Piedmont : ' It _appeares that a i priest , named : Don Grigriaschi , had succeeded iu secretly persuading some females and . priests that he was either _Jei > us Christ himself , or directly inspired by bim .. This _dpctrineiised tO be imparted to the neopbites as a sacred mystery , and demonstrated by visions and miracles , f The . matter having at last called the attention of tbe authorities , Don Grignaschi was prosecuted , ipgetber _* with his dupes or accomplices , on the counts of _^ Windling and immorality . An able defence was ' made , by Advocate Brofferio , [ the well . known '' deputy ' , * who founded his arguments on the facts tbat Grigtiaschi
did not teach his doctrines- publicly ; ' that' he did not attack religion , since bis assertion ' s were founded upon it ; and tbat bis principles were hot contrary to those of tbe church , since tbey were the'same as those of the Millenary and St . Simonian - ''sects , which bad been professed by bishops and-saints ; and never before condemned by the church .- ' Notwithstanding this defence , Don Grignaschi . was condemned to ten years ' , exile ; five priests , accused of complicity , were condemned to exile , or , impriaohment varying' from eighteen months to three years ' two women to two years' imprisonment and a notary and another person to a month ' s imprisonment . Two otber persons were acquitted .

; GREECE .- . :. ;! ,, , _;;>; Athens , Jun e 28 . —A swarm of minor newspapers recently appeared here . One came out under the title of Patris' ( the country ;) it contained a supposed dialogue between- _Dionysius , the tyrant . ; of Syracuse , and Plato . Amongst other things it had the following : — . . ., ' _-,-. Piato— 'I wonder , sire , why , being the son ofa king and a king yourself , you sbould ' _allow yourself to be guarded by the most horrid brigands , by the greatest rascals , and why you should continually invite to your table the worst of mankind . '
DioNrsins-r'Do not wonder , Plato , because from my birth my father did not consider' me able of governing on account of my physical defects and therefore I receired another education , intending me for another profession . And- he used sometimes to say to some of his friends , should they ever have me for their king , ill luck would : attend ithe Sicilians . It has been their unhappy fate to . bave me , and they suffer without complaining of my government ; you may easily conceive . how I . cannot unlearn what I bave learnt , nor govern according to the laws laid down , which I really never swore to
do ; for when I took the oath to govern my subjects according to the prescribed laws , I did not' place my hand on the altar , although this was observed by some of the clear-sighted . As to the worthlesshess of those about my person , I have not much to say . I will merely tell you that they please _nuj : 'fti every way ; 1 find them complete blind instruments to my will , and ! do not like remarks made to me , even sbould they be useful .. _^ wish _. every act ti > appear to emanate from myself , and I wish to appear to . govern and rule alone , and consequently the . learned and wise are equally troublesome , and disagreeable to me . * - _> ' ..: ' .
Plato—But how can yon bear to ; hear your , courtiers and your devoted friends and companions accused of robbing both the public and private individuals ? ' ' :, " . ' _< ¦ _: ' . . " . ' . _; _,,. Diowtsius— 'I know all that i I know that . my _covntieTS are _btibEd—aU those _getting places ¦ _f that they share in robberies , murders , and in the brigandage going on ; that they make a bad use of my name for tbeir own purposes . My- friends and favourites do all this _r but 1 wish them to do it , f ° "V oa tne one hand , they make money to cover their expenses , and , on the other , the country suffers , although , unfortunately , I see it does improve , notwithstanding I have got up insurrections ia the putting down ef which Shave ruined whole provinces . 1 cannot concieve how it i 8 _> but notwithstanding all . that it improves . '
The dialogue continues and reviews the whole reign of Dionysius , which the court people here would have was an attack on the court of . King Otha , and the paper was seized . Ibe ministers im- ' mediately brought a bill into the Chamber of Representatives , called tbe Law on the Press , _wbicli was immediately carried there ; and it runs thus : ¦—' Art . 1 . Whoever shall , through the ipress or by means of a drawing , or caricature , directly or indi . rectly insult , defame , or deride , the King or his , roya * pouse , _ r shall endeavour to excite hatred or . con tempt against their persons or against the royal au : tbority , shall be ' punished with seven years at _mos _* close imprisonment ' . ' [ „ ' \ . . . ,,,., . j ...-. Art . 2 . ' The above punishment , of _^ lose .
