Twenty of the candidates have been _rejected , and those who succeeded owe their election to the fact of their names having been on the list of the Electoral Union .

      The 'Debate' 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 Minister ? , and members of the Ministry , since thc " 24 tfi _, 1 S 4 S , have not been re-elected as members of the Legislative Assembly , and are not likely to obtain seats : —MM . Trouve Mauvet , Flocon , Marie , Senard , G ; rnier Pages , Dupontde _TEurs , Lamartine , Freston , Leon de Maileville . Goudchaux , Recurt , Bastide , Vaulabelle , Tonrret , Trelat , Carnot .

      The following members , who took an active part in the public business , have also failed in their elections : —MM . Bacbez , Marrast , Duvergier de Hauranne , Bdlault , Pagnerre , Jules Favre , Dupont de _Bussac , Bureaux de Pusy , Degousse , Clement Thomas , Perree , Ducoux , Berger , Proudhon , Bu-¦ vignier , Audry de Puyraveau _, Joly _, _Chambolle , Portalis . Georges and Edmond Lafayette , Bocns , & c . Thb Ex piring Assembly . —On _Saturday after a long discussion on the stamp duties , which came to no result , the order of the day was read for the first reading of ihe till relative to the bill introduced b y M . Leon Fauchcr for the continuance for three months of the powers conferred on Genera ]

      Changarnier . Several government members con . tended warmly that ths question ought to be 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 itnmcdiae consideration , and that it should not be subjected to the formality of three readings . A motion was then made tbat the further consideration of the measures should be adjourned , which was rejected by a majority of 29-1 to 254 . This vote pio . duced a great deal of agitation . The discussion on the bill itself then commenced . After a stormy debate the Assembl y rejected the bill . The numbers

      _were—JFortheliia . . . . 210 Against it . . . 293 Majority against Ministers . —83 M . 'Odillon Barrot then _endeavoured to induce the Assembly to suspend its sittings , in order to allow time for the preparation of the Hall for the ]? ew Assembly , but the _uutprity refused . Wednesday . —The National Assembly was occupied to the close of its sittings yesterday with a discussion produced by the interpellations of M . Sarrans relaiive to the affairs of Rome and the intervention of Russia in Hungary . The reply of the Minister of _Poreign Affairs was to the effect that the conduct of the government in relation to Rome was strictly in

      accordance wilh the vote come to by the Assembly and with regard to Russia the government had _addresssd 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 from 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 ef war . General Cavaignac 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 ol the representatives quitted the Chamber to avoid voting on the order of the day , when it was put from the chair that the balloting urns should be left open till seven o'clock , when , if the number of votes was not completed , the sitting should be declared en permanence . One member cried out that those who abstained should be declared _Jiors la loi A scene of the utmost -violence both preceded and followed the _announcement , the members of the Mountain standing on their benches , and shouting TOciferouslr .

      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 the division was closed , when the numbers were—for ihe order of the day , ' pure and simple , ' fifty-three ; against it , 459 . Majority against Ministers , 406 . A third order of the day was proposed byM . Bastide , which was ordered to be p rinted . 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 . Geueral _Bugeaud arrived suddenly in Paris yesterday , being called up by government . Monday . —The negotiations for the formation ol a new cabinet have been going on with great activity to-day , but nothing has been definitively settled . There _appeares to be little doubt , however , that Marshal Bu _^ eiud will be the new President of the

      Conned of Ministers , and that he will be joined bj M . de Falloux and M . Buffet , two members of 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 aad Buffet ; but they have failed . It is understood that it was on the Italian question that the difference of opinion occurred which led to the breaking up of the Odillon Barrot Cabinet .

      Tuesday . —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 the subordinate posts , but it is probable that M . Leon Faucher will be Minister of Finance , and that M . _Pal _' . onx will remain in his present post . The President of the Republic and the moderate party who counsel him , see in 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 of the 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 majoritvj

      A grand review took p lace to-day in the Champ fle Mars , in presence of the President of the Republic . The object of the review was to ascertain the real feeling of the troops with respect-to the government , it having been so currently reported that 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 sainted the President of the Republic with loud cries

      of * Vive Napoleon , ' « Y ive le President , ' and _occaaonally of _'Tivela _Republique' / _' The Republican Guard , which was the first that defiled before the President , called 'Vive hi Republique Democratique _g Sociale ! ' The crowds of lookers-on were very cold in their reception of the President . On leaving the . Palace of the Elysee , and again on his return , Louis _Napoleos was warml y received . Tuesday . —The _ftenah government has received _teJegr _^ hic _desnatdjes announcing that serious dis-

      turbances have taken place at Montpellier on the oc casion of the elections . The hotel . of the Prefecture _wa _< attacked , but not taken . Several persons have been arrested . At _Cette there were disorders Wh . ch were speedily put down : On the night of the 19 ih the Procureurof the Republic atLodcve was fired at by an assassin , and killed . No further details have reached the government . _, ' ; Accounts reached Paris yesterday afternOon that the Emperor of Russia had recognised the ' . French Republic ' ' SI . Kisseleo is appointed charge d ' affaires , and M . Happ secretary of the _embassy . M . Happ left St . Petersburg for Paris on the 12 th . authorithat the

      The _« _Constitutionef states from ty Ministry still remains in office , and that the resignation of no . Minister , with the exception of M . L _, Faucher , has been accepted , or even offered . 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 the existence of a Ministerial crisis . ' Le Peuplc' 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 the 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 people for the department of the Creuse , named Nudland , 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 Frankfort Parliament . —On the 16 th inst . M . Simon , of Treves , brought on a motion d ' urgence , which was to declare , that since the Regent persisted in leaving the affairs without a Minister to direct them , an executive committee of five should be named by the National Assembly 'for tha carrying out of . thc Constitution . ' A considerable majority declared that the debate should not at present take place upon the subject . This intermezzo had only just ended when a message from the Regent _, dated this day , announced that he had nominated M . Graevell 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 the Assembly accepted ( by 191 votes against 12 J in the following form : — ' After having been informed ot the formation of a new Cabinet , aud 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 . Gravel _^ President of the Council , in reply . to a _question from M . Simon , of Treves , declared that Hessian and AVurtemburg troops have been concentrated on the frontiers of the 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 _siates 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 his Prussian Majesty , and that 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 the National Assembly , and his power had been conferred on bim in the name of the ' governments by the Germanic diet . When , therefore , it trill 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 hands of the governments . As for the ministry of the empire , it conceives itself bnund to remain temporarily in power , notwithstanding 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 _, _'h , the following resolution was put to the vote , and carried by a majority of 1 . 26 to 116 : — x That the Assembly elect forthwith , if possible , from amongst the reigning p r inces , a stadtholder of the empire , who , up to the time set forth in the resolutions of the 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 the 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 _insurmounU able 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 the carrying out of the resolution in question—inasmuch as the wnrk 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 of the 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 had arrived , and a great number of persons had fted to Wurlemberg or France . The soldiers had proceeded to the election of their officers ; very younginenhad been named captains aud 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-Auzaiger' of this evening , and is as follows

      ' ROYAL ORDINANCE . . ' 1 . The commission of the 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 of the 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 fur . ther proceedings of the Assembly . _; . 'Frederick William . ' Given at Charlottenburg , May 14 , 1849 . " ' ( From the ' Times . ' )

      The last advices from Elberfeld and the insurgent districts in the 'Kolner Zeitung * are of the 17 ih 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 that 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 the return of a deputation 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 the barricades , and a troop of rank Republicans who had participated iu the rising were induced to quit the town . They marched jnto the country , where they dispersed . Most of their leaders were arrested .

      . Letters from the Rhine frontier ' announce , that two regiments of Prussian infantry , which had been ordered into Bavaria , , have put their ofilcers to death , and joined the people .

      THE WAR . IN HUNGARY The 'Pesther Zeitung' of the _Cthlinst ., contains the following news ,: — ' Kossuth in a ' report to the National Assembl y , iu which he terms himself . 111 accordance with the national desire , 'President ami 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 Casi . mir Bathyany ; of Finance , _Duschek ; ' of Public Works , Czanyi ; Worship , Michael Horvath , 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 hours , and already a breach opened . The Hungarian batteries are planted on the Adlar , Schwaban , _andBlonksberg .

      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 th the firing on Pesth ceased , and Gorgey was requested by the government commmissioner Iranyi 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 Bern 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 had attacked and disarmed a Russian corps of 30 , 000 men ; that a great number of the Russian officers had gone 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 lh . Another correspondent further writes us word , on the _lith of May , that Field Marshal Parkiewich with 18 , 000 men had attempted to enter-Transylvania , but had been attacked by Bern and entirely rmted . ¦

      " " THE RUSSIAN INVASION , . Chacow , May 11 . —Of the Russian troops which marched from Poland through Cracow into Galicia , two battalions , with t . velve 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 that 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 th , 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 oi Russian troops that have in all ,, up to this date , passed through © racow , cannot be set . down at less than 30 . 000 . They have not yet penetrated into Hungary , "but are encamped at Jordanow , only ten miles from the Magyar outposts . The horses , which are only shod in the _fore-feet , are said to have . suf . fered 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 that 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 wilful _, ness and obstinacy , has entered the east and the dominions contiguous to us , subjects of the Turkish empire , viz ., Moldavia and Wallacdia . 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 domesuc enemies in Italy , have not yet been able to triumph over rebellion . On the contrary , strengthening itself by hordes of our Pol ish traitors of 1831 , and of others , foreigners , outcasts , runaways , and vagrants , the rebellion has developed itself there to a most threatening degree .

      'In the midst of these unfortunate events the Emperor of Austria has addressed himself to us with the wish for our assistance against our common ene--mies . We shall not refuse him .. ' Having called to the _assistancs of this righteous enterprise the Almighty Leader of Battles and Lord of Victories , we have commanded our armies to move forward for the extinction of rebellion , and die destruction of audacioii 3 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-re . _served nation _, every Russian , every true subject of ours , and Russia will fuifil her

      ITALY .-THE 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 Pneneste , 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 . 1 Palestrina , May 9 , Quarter-past Eight p . m .

The Neapolitans , to the number of 7 . 000 , with 800 cavalry , arrived in the evening of yesterday , 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 p lace to _Yalmontoriei which all ' meet in cne- at two musket-shots beyond Palestrina .

      and Spain , try to renew Old history , responsive to the summons of a Pope ; but that history no longer repeats itself in the same terms , and against ancient usage stands the new conscience of nations . _Behind the bayonets of General Oudinot stands the generous French people ; behind the Imperial sword of Radetski are the valiant Hungarians and the democracy of Vienna ; behind the ' -haughty hidalgo who mena ces Fiumicino , is a people which has no longer the strength that conquered the Moors , nor the gold of the New World . However , he 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 the 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 . .

      ' The Triumvirs , ¦ .- ' _Ahmellini , Mazzini , Saffi . 'Rome , May 7 , 1849 . ' . The ' Positivo' of Rome , of the 8 th inst ., publishes a note to the Catholic powers , dated the 7 th , and signed by Rusconi , Roman minister of foreign affairs . After observing that the Roman question , hitherto apolitical 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 document 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 privilege ? , 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 still 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 , arid crushes faith in thousands of hearts . The whole state of Rome 1 ms declared the downfall of the temporal power of the pontiff ; and , though under the menace of a 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 _relijon of peace has a right to reassert temporal power by force oi 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 . 1 Europe , ' says the document in conclusion , ' reflect before she _proceeds ; the struggle is no _longrr between one army and another , nor between one class of men and another ; but it is a struggle that embraces a whole moral world of ideas , hopes , and faith , that may have an echo in the most distant general ions .

      ( 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 . Si egb of Bologna . — -The ' Milan Gazette ' of the 13 th inst . states tbat hostilities' having recommenced at Bologna after the armistice , the town has been blockaded , and ihe waters of the aqueduct and the canal of the Reno cut off , so that the town will have speedily to surrender , for want , of water and provisions .

      The ' Corriere Mercantile' of Genoa of the 14 th inst ., contains' some particulars about the renewal of the attack upon Bologna oh the 9 th . Hostilities recommenced at noon and lasted till dusk . The Austriaus threw rockets ' upon the town from the suburb of San Michale , and cannonaded it from the Palazzo Aldini . A combined attack upon the _Galliera , Felice , Isaia , and Saragozza gates , took place at _tlie _: same time i ail 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 . :

The number of killed on both sides is very great . TUSCANY . — -Butcheky . op the _Patuiots . — The ' Corriere Mercantile , ' ! of the 16 th , states , from Leghorn , that ' upwards of 200 persons have been

An accompliceirevealed to General Pepe a conspiracy to set fire tothe 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 , at tack ; on the fort . General Pope profited ' by the discovery . A short lime before the hour , 'fixed . for . the fire , he arrested tke

      traitors , and' having , caused a large quantity oi wood and straw to be placed near the arsenal ; 'he set fire to it . The Austrian ' s thinking that the arsenal was on fire , as had been agreed upon , commenced the assault ; but theymet 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 prisoner . ; , and spiked the greater part of the Austrian ¦ ¦ ¦

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 reenter . 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 ' _rwas then hoisted , and the city has now . made its formal submission , and the civil war is at an end .

      A voiing- iaan engaged iii the Custom House has been arrested , and is in ' custody , for disturbing the peace , ; or , it is-probable ,-to be detained for a witness . ' , The agitation still continues in the eastern townshiff $ v All is quiet in Montreal . # _, Quebec partook of the general excitement incidental upon the Rebellion Losses Bill having been sanctioned . The Governor-General was burnt in effigy on Friday evening last . ' Resistance was made hv a section of the Irish party who , professed ultra

      Repeal doctrines , ' and a fight-ensued , which was finally 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 . effigy , but the moderate of the Irish party prevented it . On Sunday a mass meeting of the French Canadians was held , aided by the same Repeal followers , and a _deputation sanctioned to proceed to the seat ot government to present an address 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 , aud the papers in the Canadian interest talk most loudly . May 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 to 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 the Assembly yesterday evening upon a motion of adjournment—bitter criminations and recriminations passed between both parties . .

      Mr . Papineaa , the old leader of the rebellion , made ' . a furious attack on the Ministry , charging them with incapacity , and being the cause of all the _disturbancesi 1 Mr , Solicitor-General _Drummond replied by char ing him with the desire of annexation to the United States , and of being the 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 early 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 _U great , and there are rumours that Upper Canada will rise . A few days will show if it be true . .

      ¦ :: . UNITED STATES . Everything in the wiy of news in the United States is torpid and dull . There are lio political movements whatever . . ¦ .. . The intelligence from California presents no newfeature ... People continue ( o wend their way to the new El Dorado by thousands and tens of thousands . At Independence , Missouri , there were 5 , 000 encamped , wailing 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 fortysix . 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 with alacrity ' that every effort will be made to lay the subject before our whalers , and induce them to undertake the work for which the British government have offered so high a reward . ' We are lost iu amazement to perceive how the masses of the people are everywhere cunningly arrayed against each other for destruction . In the case of the Roman difficulties , curses loud and deep are uttered against the French , for iheir

      intervention in favour of the Pope . It does seem strange indeed that this _soi-disant republic should unite with Austria to restore ¦ the government o . _" ' 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 religions power as that which has so long depressed "Italy . - There is a serious talk here of raising a prntestant fumi for the aid of the Roman , republicans . It is agitated in oilvate but influential circles , and though it may be disguised in its exterior , it will be not less positive in its object . '' '

      Emigration is again pouring its full tide upon us . Three thousand paupers were landed in this city in Uvo days last week . The Irish predominate . How long is Ireland to pour forth these wretched crowds ? Is her population larger than that of continental Europe ? It would seem so .

      pursuit of the flying Ameer of Cabool , who , vanquished on the field of Gaojerat , was making the best of his way towards the Khyber 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 which thev were the self-appointed keepers . But if any money 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 had ' made

      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 thu Puhjaub annexed to the British dominions .

Finally , the annv of tho Stite , and the whole Sikh people , joined by uany 0 _j the sirdars in the Punjaub who signed the treaties , and led by a member of the 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 formerly declared tlwt ifc desired no further . _conquest , and it proved by its nets the sincerity of its profession .

      The government of India has no desire for conquest now j but . it is bound in du y M pro ride fully for its own security , and to guard the interests of those committed to its charge . To that end , and as the only sure mode of protecting the State from the perpetual _recurrence of unprovoked and wasting wars , the Governor-General is compelled to resolve . upon the entire subjection of a people'whom their own government ha 3 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 declared and hereby proclaims that the kingdom of the Punjaub is at an end j and that all the territories of Maha _' nija Dhuleep Singh are now aad henceforth a portion of the British empire in India . His Highness the Maharaja shall be treated with consideration and with honour .

      The few chiefs wh > 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 oivn religions ; but it will not permit any man to interfere . with others in the _observ * ance of such forms and customs as their respective religions muy either enjoin or permit . The jagheers , and all the property of _sjjdars or others who have b en in arms aga _' . nst theBritish , shall be confiscated to the State . The defences of every fortified p _' ace in tjie Punjaub , which is not occupied by British troops slnll be totally'destroyed , and effectual measures shall be taken to '" deprive the people of the me . ms of renewing either tumult or war . Over those who shall live as obedient and pf nceful subjects of the State , the British government will rule with mildness and _bemnc . mcc .

      But if resistance to constituted authority shall again be attempted—if violence and turbulence . 'halt be renewed—the Governor-Genetal warns the 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 .
