    " fllE FELENCn REPUBLIC . STATE OF PARIS . ( From the Join Hull ' s correspondent . ) The approach of a near crisis at Paris becomes < jgiiy more imufnent . To the other causes of alarm yjiinonrs of war are now added , and enlistments take place in aH direction . The state of siege , which was orieniallT to have been taken off oq the lOik or 12 th of Jfllji still continues , the situation of affiirs Laving growa much worse ; new revelations have been made , Eew hatred has been engendered , and vengeance is gmsnlderingunderthe ashes .

    Meanwhile arrests continue—nay , are trultiplied OH Sue b ' . reat denunciations , domiciles are searched an d persons ! libsriy is violated . The powers rule by terror , and the Parisians submit , without eren daring to ask what will bs the consequence of this desperate slits of things , which can end only in the destruction of Pa « 3 . - " 8 r by thtfinsurgent workmen , whenever they shall be ronsed again , or by the suffering provinces , which will not for ever allow the all-absorbing centralisation of this city to paraljse the commerce the industry , and the arts of all France . While desolation thna reign 3 on all sides , the 4 sgembly does netbin ?; the bag-wished for , and often promised Constitutisn doe 3 not make its appearance . Tod would hardly believe the extent to which

    listless-HES 5 ia aimed | m its proceedings , and the frivolous manner in which the Deputies Traste their time . For one thin ? , they have come to an unanimous de termination to present France , the patrie reecmnaissanff . vrith their owq counterfeit ? , and for this purpose bavs actnally caused a daguerrotype apparatus to be put up in the hotel of the president for the exclcsire nse of the representatives . Here they pet their likenesses taken , from which their portraits are afterwards engraved , to inundate the country with them . It is the strangest picture gallery you can weli imagine . Bat this is not the only wsy in which the ticae paid for fey the Icountry ; is * wasted .

    "Witsess the puerile disputes about ( he pronunciation and the sense of the word ' club , ' whether it should be prononnced' chub , ' or ' club , ' and whether ifc was English or French ; to which M . Ccqnerel put an end by vindicating the word a ? oae naturalised in France , with a S 3 nsa peculiarly French . Tiie rest of the Bitting was consumed ia settling that women and children ere to be excluded from all clubs . Now and then b . sitting is derated to some kctnre from M . Thiers , which occupies ten or twelve columns of the CoxsTiTtiioKVEL on the following day , either on the rights of labour , or on the quality of the national representation , or against the proposition of M . Prondhon , ' $ hich no ona supported .

    ( From the Britannia ' s Paris correspondent . ) Thursday —I have not seen it stated in any one of the London napers that General Cavaignac h » 3 declared that he has no present intention of patting an end to the state of sieae . I am , however , assured by a representative of the people that he sq 3 lated in a committee of the Assembly a few days ago , adding , that as many reasons at present exist for maintaining it as there did for first proclaiming it . This fact is of great suavity . By showing that * the snake' of insurrection 'is scotched , not killed , ' it proves the correctness of the view of the real stale of things fi § re which I have taken in my correspondence with you . Fromali I hear , it seerss certain that the government looks forward with very great anxiety , not to say dresd , to ths coining winter . And well ii mav for

    the greater part of the few workmen at ? resent occupied wiil thea D 3 thrown out of employ . Under Loais Philippe the winter always excited ahrm , owing to the distress occasioned smos ? the working cla « s by the suspension of labour ; but ia his days the people bad the savings they were able to effec : daring the spring , summer , and autumn to fali back on ; whereas now they have none—spring , Ssummer . and autumn having scarcely afforded any labour at all . Moreover , in the old king ' s time the people were cowed by the remembrance of many defeat ? , and bj the constant presercs of su overwhelming armed fcrca ; whereas now they know that their fores is almost irresistible , February saving prsved it , and the insurrection of June , though unEuccessful , not having weakeced it . But , aias ! whi can Jay that an outbreak will not occur before winter comes ?

    The insurgents of Jane , the Socialists atd Cora , ounists , are said to show symptoms of recovery from tiieir state of prostration , and the travailleurs , the idie , dissolute , disaffected , ten 3 of thonsands , collected and maintained at the public expense in the ateliers tHztionaux . wera fast returning to Paris , whence taey had fl ; d to avoid the consequences of their rebellion . The hotel No . 12 , Rue de Varenne 3 . opposite to the mansion occupied by General Cavaignae , ha * been rented by the government , and a detachment of infantry and cavalry placed in it for the protection of the general .

    INSURRECTIONS OF MAY AND JUNE . At the sitting of the French National Assembly on Thursday week 31 . Bauc&ard ascendei the tribune to read the report of the eommittea appointed to inquire into the event 3 ef May and June . M . Bsuchsrd , after reading the decree of the Assembly «* hich had instituted the committee , said , that it had particularly applied itself to discover the connexion 6 xisticg ietween those two event ? , and that it had been second-d by the co-operation of all classes of Cit ? ZSG 6 , who hail bowed to the eovereignty of the Assembly . The proceedings hr . d been political , not judiciary . The gacrilegiou 3 attempts against social order were justified by no cause , or even pre * £ xt , * n d there was no instance of such an aegressign in

    History . Tha National Assembly , notwithstanding the waat of agreement among the members of the Provisional Government , had decreed that they had all deserved well of th 9 country : and wishing to avoid the least appearance ef reaction , it had preserved ia the Executive Committee the princ i pal e ! ements of the previous government . It was at the moment the Assembly ~ wa 3 preparing to fulfil its mission that it beheld the majesty of its sanctuary profaned daring three hours by a factious band . The Assembly had exhibited the greatest forteirance ; it fcad not even ordered an inquiry to be iastituted , and sven maintained the existence of the national workhouses . The two > ttack 3 wera both directed against the national representation by a factious minority , desireus to impose itself on the majority . Their

    design , however , was different . The object of the COBspirators of the 15 th of May was to dissolve the Assembly , and to substitute for it a Committee ef Pablie Safety . They were inspired by the Committee ot Lsbonrerasi&inz in the Luxembourg , who professed Socialist dosirines . No trace of any distribution of mnney . nor of the interference of pretenders , had been disewered . M . Bauchard then et tted that the eomraittee fcad closely investigated the conduct of the members of the Provisional Government , and regretted to Sod that some , from a mistakes notion of the situation of the coantry , and others from seditious eotivfs , bad produced an extraordinary sensation ia the country with a view of disorganising it . Emissaries from the Parisian clubs had been ostensibly sent to the departments , and paid out of the secret iervics fund . Thus the BvtiUtin de la Repub

    Uque openly preached the revolt of the provinces against the capital ; and one article in particular , wriit&i by a celebrated female authoress , Georges Sand , was ' an appeal to civil war . The elections were retarded under every pretext , in order to postpone indefinitely the meeting of the Assembly . Then appeared the manifesto of M . Lamartine , in which it wa 3 pr-r-claimei to the world that Fra 2 oe wonld abstain fr ? m all propaganda , when the expedition against Belgian , wgs publicly undertaken ; the invaders were snpplied with arms by the arsenals of the state , paid out of the Treasury , and supported fay the Commissary of the government in the department of tha North . The fatal theories developed in the coaferEncea of the Luxem *

    faourg excited in the minis of the workmen hopes impossible to realise , and when the Assembly was unable to satisfy them it was in-Tsded . ' All the speeches delivered by M . Louis Blanc had not bsen published . The committee had obtained the report of ene he had addressed to an assembly of workmen , in which he said that they were the re 3 l assembly of the people , and that if the National Assembly refused to render them justice they should dissolve them , and that if he was called upon to regulate the new EOciety he would never fergetthat he had been one of the disinherited sons of thepeoplp , and took , in the presence of God , the osth of Hannibal . The provisional government , in instituting the national workhouses , wished to make

    them into an auxiliary army , but they soon passed into the hands of its enemies , and WJre at the complete disposal of Messrs CauBsidiere and Louis Blanc . It wa 3 the latter who organised the popular movement of the 17 th of March . Some daya before M . Caussiriiere , the Prefect of Police , had called together the forty-eigbt commissaries of police of Paris , and said to them— ' Tell the inhabitants of the quarters of Paris attached to monarchical institHtionstell the upper classes , that if they are not ^ wise the aword of Damocles is suspended over their heads , tod if the deputies of the provinces should resist the

    wuhesoftbe patriots of Paris , they shall be exterminated . Tell your stupid bourgeoisie and National ¦ Gu ards , that if they attempt the least resistance , 400 , 000 labourers are determined to make table rait tad destroy Paris . They will not for that purpose require muskets ; a few chemical matches will uffice . ' The committee had , moreover , obtained s Utter of M , Grandmesnil ( a friendof M . Caussidiere ) , wr itten on tae 8 tn of April , to his ancle at Angers , tellies him— ' Marc _ CCaus 3 idiere ) earnestly entreats you to manufacture ia the greatest secresy , a number of veur projectile . " , and immediately set out for Paris ^ rita some of your incendiary bombs . '

    M . Caussidiere repeatedly interrupted the reporter , declaring that all he said was false . Tae result of the investigation ofthecommitleei oontinaedSf , BaEc&ard , aad satisfied it ttat Messrs Caussidiere , Sobrier , aad Lsdru Rollin , bad directed the anvement of tie 16 th of April . M . Blanqai had refused to join it becspse M . Ledru Rollia was to fc&ve beta proclaimed dictator . The evidence of E . Lamsrtine ptrrsJwftted tiat opinios , and that

    of General Changarnier wan conclusive . The latter waited on that day on M . Lamartine at the Hotel d <» Viile , and found him greatly dejected . M . Lamartiae stated that Messrs Louis Blanc and Ledru Rollin were privy to ths demonstration of the 100 , 000 workmen assembled in the Champ de Mars' intenVec to raoke . The Gsneial then called on M . Marrasfc whom he found well disposed , and the latter wrote under hh dictation the order to the municipalities to b ° at the rappel , which brought out the whole of the National Guard and gaved the capital . M . LedFn Ro . 'Hd tad to ) d i \ i . Lsmartina that it was he vrho had ordered ths rappel to be bsaten . The Club of Clubs , presided over by Sobrier , and the Ciub of the Rights of Man took an ective part in those events

    They were in direct correspondeace with the members of the government , The arms with which they threatened the country were supplied by the arsenals of the state . Sobrier had established his head-quarters , with the consent of the authorities , in a buildinoof the Civil List ; 500 muskets and 30 , 000 ball car tridges , furnished by the Prefect of Police , on an erdtrr of the Minister of Wari were stored in that building . Sobrier bad taken ou himself to send 500 or 690 men to the provinces to revolutionise the country . Those men received lOf . per day out of the Treasury . ThOEe two clubs pocteEsed manufactories of arms , the principal of which , situate at the Barriere de la Sante , wa § directed by Ra 3 pail , The reporter then recapitulated the documents found in

    Sobrier ' g possession . One of them proclaimed the institution of a Committee of Public Safety ; another tha establishment ef an extraoi dinarj progressive tax , and that the proprietors who refused to pay it shoald forfeit their property ; a third the dissolution of the National Guard , and the outlawry of any NaiJonal Goafd who ehall appear in arms in the gtreats . On May 15 th , an individual was sent by M . Ledru Rollin to countermand the emeute , to the president of the Club of the Rights of Man . M . Ledru Rollin , on being questioned respecting that factj did no ! , deny it , but on the contrary praised bis emissary for the discretion and talent he had displayed in several mission ? . The Executive Committee declared that all the ordeM issued on that day were adopted in

    common , and that if they were not executed it was owing to treachery . The Commander ef the Natioaal Guard stated , that he had himself devised measures for the protection of the Assembly , which , if esecuted , would have prevented its profanation . The Minister of War made a Bimilar declaration , and added that he was tempted to resign when he found his orders disobeyed . The Military Governor of Pari ? i who had brought away the treops frdtn the Invalide 3 mentioned , having acted in virtue of auperier orders ; the responsibility of the non-exeeu * tion of those measures shoald naturally fall on the government . M . Caussidiere admitted that he was aware of the intention of Sobrier to make a demonstration on the loth of May , bat as he had obtained

    from him a promise that it should n"t bs armed , he paid na further attention to it . One fact , however , proved that he connived at it . M . Yon h 3 d been appointed by the Preaident , Commissionary of Police of the Assembly . That choice displeased M . Caussidiere , who sent for M . Yon , and recommended him to remain at bis po 3 t in tha Faubourg Montmartre . The latter , however , insisting , Caussidiera said to him ' Weil , return to the Assembly ; its fate is indifferent te me . ' Another witness examined by the committee declarad that he heard M . Causaidieresay , ' I wilt throw the Assembly out ot the windows ' It wa 3 a notorious fact that the Prefecture of Pelice was , previous to the 15 th of May , a manufactory for ball cartridges . A representative mentioned an

    expression of General Courta " i 3 which was o . uitecharac terisiio , ' We are sure of Caus ? idiere , ' be said , 'for he has pledged his honour that he would give us twenty . four hoars' notice before he turned , ' The question of Caussidiere ' a arrest was apitated in the council of the government , but Afeasrs Arago and Marie alone voted for it . On the 14 th of May a numerous reunion was held st the house of M , Louis B ' aoe—Barbes attended it . M . Louib Blanc asserted that no mention was made of the masifestation intended the following day , but others stated the con trary . On the next morning Bixty persons called on M . Louis Blanc , who shortly afterwards walked out and proceeded in the direction of the B 3 stile . M . Louis Blanc said he went to breakfast at the C * fe des Pansrama « . M . Banohsrd then described the scene

    of the 15 th of May , in which M . Louis Blanc acted so conspicuous a part . It was proved , he said , that he had harangued the people and approved the profanation of the Assembly . That he went to the Uotel de Ville , in the evening , waa also nearly certain . De was met in the Rue de l'Ecole de Medecine amidst a band of armed men , and one of hi ? friends having cried , ' Vive Louis Blanc , ' he silenced him , saying , ' The affair has failed ; don't notice me , or I shall be arrested . ' M . Louis Blanc entered the shop of M . Ma 3 son , bookseller , and subsequently proceeded on foot toward * the Rue de la Harpe . He was seen on the Pont Notre Dame , escorted by three armed men , and a Lieutenant-Co ^ enel of the National Guard positively declared having seen Mm in the building of the Hotel de Ville .

    After a suspension w a quarter of an hour M . Bauchard resumed his report and proceeded to degcriba the origin of the insurrection of Juae . A letter was in the hands of the committee , wr itten by a person who had been with M . Louis Blanc that day . declaring that' the Assembly wa 8 overthrown ; that he wag with Lonis Blanc and Barbes ; that they ¦ s-ete to hold a sitting that night at the Luxembourg , lie wrote that note to prevent his friend ( to whom the letter was addressed ) from being uneasy , ' The report quoted several other testimonies of a similar character amidst the constant interruption of M . Lou ; 8 Blanc . The report came to the conclusion , from allthe information that it had received , that M . Louis B'anc wzs decidedly implicated in person in

    the affair of May loth . The report then proceeded to speak of the insurrection of June , and the causes which hnd in particular contributed to its coming to & head . Between May 15 and June 23 fortunate modifications had bsen made in the administration : the troops had re-entered Paris , a law on attrouptments hid beBn obtained , the public powers h 3 d shown more vigilance . How , then , waa it that there bad been new disasters ? Was it true that disquietude was kept alive expressly to prevent confidence from returning , and to organise misery everywhere ? The chiefs ot the insurrection were at Vincennes , but their spirit survived among the concoctora of insurrection . At Belleville a club cast baits , and the Ciab of the Mantaanards covered the walls with incendiary

    proclamations , that bady thereby revealing itself , though ba-rLig been dismissed it no longer Legally existed . Two placards insulting the representatives were stuck on the wall , and on ths 17 th of Juae other placards , calling M , Caussidiere to the head of the Republic , and announcing the organisation of the banqaet at twenty-five centimes , were affixed . The inflammatory appeals of the cluba , according to M . Arago . had alone caused the civil war . A witness , plactd at the head of the administration of a railway , had stated that in that company the enginedrivers earned 5 , 000 f . and upwards a-year , and yet that these men had joined in the insurrection on the 24 th of June . A letter was intercepted , directed to Blanqui st Vincennes , stating that s plot was

    in preparation , that fire and murder would be had recourse to if necessary , and that he might be snraof being set at liberty . Mob 3 assembled every evening in the Rue So Denis acd that neighbourhood , and everything announced that something was about to be attempted . Every man having been armed by the Provisional government there was but little diffi culty in procuring the means of combat . The report traced the manner in which the national workshops were organised , and declared that the brigadiers who paid the men were the principal instigator ? . ( Agitation . ) Yet the police appeared to know aothing of what was going on . The insurrection had its manufactories of powder , its chiefs , its organbatios ; and the police remained passive . Even on June 22 nd

    the Republican guards , who had been previously dismissed , received their pay , and appeared the day after bshind the barricades . In May , M . Trouve Cnauvel , tha Prefect of Police , informed the Executive Committee that thenational workshops were the hotbed of the agitation , and the men of the Droits de i'HomHie were the princioal . agitator 3 . The report , theD , arriving at the day when the insurrection broke out , declare that the object of the movement was nominally a democratic and social Repubho , but in reality pillage—it was , in fact , a savage war carried on with poisoned ball ? . ( Movement . ) To complete their task the committee would notice the political men it found compromised in the insurrection . M . Trelat , on being examined by the committee , had Blanc the

    declared that he considered M . L < nijs as author of all the evil that occurred in June , as the insurrection was only an application oi the theories professed Dy him » t the Luxembourg . M . Trelat had added that he had been his friend , bat that since those events he had not dared to Bpeak to him . M . Louis Blanc had declared to the committee that on the evening preceding the insurrection he visited the workshops ef the tailors founded bj him at CJichy . He pretended that those men were animated by the be 3 * . intentions , bat a great number of them were found among the insurgents . As to M . Causaidiere several witnesses declared that in eeveral groups of insurgents regret was expressed at his absence , and complaints were made that he had n -t sent his orders , as it was not known what to do without

    M . Caussidikrb said , that if he had gone he Bhould not have returned . . M Bauchart .-M . Mauvais , examined by the committee , stated that he had seen M . Caussidiere go over a barricade in the Rue St Antoine , accom-P 3 ni"d by bis Montagnards—at least he believed they " were Montagnards from their ill-looking faceB and accoutrements . M . Boson said , that he eaw M . Caussidiere near the church of St Paul ; he pund near him with M . Mauvais , to be quite sure that it was he . The committee had endeavoured to ascertnin the source of those testiaoBies , and why they

    had come so late . It learaed th&t thev had Deen communicated to several perseos who had related fhem sesoBd hand , but the first witnesses bad protested their veracity , Gn tha other hand , wml representatives haiafflrmed i » a certiScate that they mw / Sb .

    oi the 2 Srd , 24 th , 25 th , and 20 ih of June . But it wa 9 said that some of the signatures to the certificate had been obtained by M . Causraidiere sayitig to some of his colleagues , ' ' Gentlemen , it is pretended that I was seen out of Paris , in a neighbouring towD , during the days of June . Can you affirm that I was in ray place in the Assembly during the four days <> i the insurrection ? " It certainly appeared from the Monitehe , that on the 23 rd M . Caussidiere had uttered an exclamation , interrupting a speaker in the tribune . Tha shorthand writer who waa employed at the momeai in taking down the debates proved that his turn of duty had not come on until fter t

    a wo o'clock . Hence it did not certainly result fioiuthat certificate that M , Causeidiere , thoug ' -. present in the Assembly , wa 3 not also in the Rue tit Antoine . Another representative , M . Proudhon , was also sworn to by several witnesses . Ob the 2 oih of June he wag seen on the Place de Ia Bastille , and was met on the other side of the barricades by two of his colleagues . M . Proudhon had given no otter explanation of the employment of his time than that he had remained two hours in admiration Of the sublime horrora of the cannonade . ( 'Oh , ob , ' and laughter . ) When interrogated aa to his presence in the Faubourg , M . Proudhon had answered , that the entente was socialist , but that ha had condemned Has

    inopportune . A deputy also had heard M . Proudbon take the defence of the insurgents . M . Proudbon bad ( acoording to this witness ) committed himself bp far as to declare , ' that they ( the insurgent *) had fouget with superhuman courage , and that their cause appeared to him a just one . ' M . Proodhon said , that the deputy had not spoken the truth . M , Bavckard expressed censure en the conduct oi a man , who amidst the horrors of civil war could go to a combat as to a spectacle . ( M . Proudhon struck his bureau violently , wbioh drew forth cries ot ' Order ! ' from all parts . ) The hon . reporter further announced that the details of the ramifications of the

    conspiracy in the departments , and other matters , would form the subject of a second report . The attempt of the lo . h of May , and the insurrection of the 23 rd of June had , he said , extended over the whole of France . There were oiher revelations to be obtained and other truths to be brought to light . M . Bauchard thus concluded his address to the Assembly : —* Let us , in conclusion , take a rapid survey ot the vast space which we have traversed , and recal the linkB which connect the different eventa to which we have called your attention . If we have remarked any differences in the immediate causes , as well as in the tendencies , of the sedition of May and the catastrophe ot June , it is nevertheless certain that those t ^ o attempts are oaly the different acts of

    a persevering plot , the idea of which was nret manifested with eclat on the day of the 17 th of March . The idea of the factions is always the satae— 'Distrust of the country and hatred of the National Assembly '—a sacrilegious ides , violating tha very princioie of popular sovereignty . It is only the form ot the idea that varies , and beceraesmore menacing on every successive occasion . Thus , on the 17 th of March , the popular manifestation ; on the 16 th of April , the conspiracy ; on the loth of May , the attempt ; and on the 23 rd of June , civil war . The government , which the confidence of the Assembly has invested with the task of w&ioh ' wg over the

    future of the republic , was created in the midBt of thiB sanguinary Btruggle between order and anarchy . The victory Which our national guard and tbc army sealed with their generous blood baa once more strengthened the basis of society , assured to authority its moral force , and restored to the government its freedom of action . The government has derived fresh strength from this situation ; it is alse conscious that new duties have devolved upon it ia consequence . It will be its glory to preserve the Republic from all fresh aggressions , and so to enable our fine country to accomplish aJJ its glorious destinies . ( Lone agitation , )

    Tha PBEBiDBKT . —The report shall ba printed and distributed . Numerous Voices . —And the documents . All the documents in support ef it . ( Loud cries of 'Yea , yes , ' from all parts of the Chamber . ) M . Oprttox Barrot , the Preaident of the Commitfee , said , it appears to me impossible that when a report ofaomuch importance is published , any heBitation can for a moment be felt as to publishing the docamenta that are connected with it . That follows as a matter of course . ( Hear . ) The documents were then ordered te be printed and distributed . The President . —The tribune is to M . Ledru-RoliiD , for & fait personnel .

    M . Ledru-Rollin . —1 shall demand that an early dav may be fixed for the discussion of this report . If I make this request , it is out of respect to the precedents of the Chamber . But if you consider that it is not possible for a representative to remain urder the weight of insinuations such as are contained in the report , I shall demand to be heard immediately . ( Murmure . ) The President . —The discussion of the report cannot be talked of at this time . M . Ledru-Rollin has only to speak to a fait personnel , M . Ledb 0 . Roi . lib . — We wish to have the documentaprinted . It is not for myself that I ask ifc . I have been once interrogated ; not one of the charges brought against me is well founded . Mf Lagrakoe . —It is infamous .

    M . LBHsn-RoLtw—I appeal to men of all shades of opinion . I say that the Assembly should be filled with consternation ( 'Yes , yes' ) at the introduction of such a precedent into a legislative chamber . In the first revolution parties were accused and condemned without being heard . You gay you have asked for nothing but what justice will have to demand hereafter ; yea , hereafter , when public opinion shall have condemned us . Did I not know on the 24 th of February that I should one day have to reckon with the enemies of the Republic ? ( Agitation . ) No , yon caanot deny me the right to defend myself i ; r . mediately , for , 1 repeat , I cannot remain under the load of such an accusation . I shall be brief ; the ooncludisg worJs of the report invite me

    to concord ; I shall defend myself without passion and without anger . I have been accused of having conspired in March . I conspire ! Yes , I could have done so if I had wished , for could not the people have done then what they had effeoted . os the 24 th of February ? ( Murmurs and interruption . ) On the 16 th of April did I not myself go through every quarter of Paris ? Did I not order the rappel to bo beaten ? As to the the 15 th of May , I am reproached with having protected an agent of the clubs who came here to warn m that toe Assembly was to be agsailed ; but that man I saw at work ; I knew what he was and what be was capable of doing . And when ths uncuti ' reached this Ab-Bembly who made the most vigorous resistance to it ? It was I . My colleagues are present to confirm

    what I say . ( Cries of ' Yes , yes . ' ) Who was the firat at the Hotel de Ville ! It was I j for M . La martine did not reach it until after me . Who was then the most exposed to the balls which might have reached me ? It was I . And yet I am accused of h&ving conspired ! It is wished to cause to weigh on us the responsibility of the eventa of May and June ; accusations of that kind do not judge—they destroy . ( Movement ) I will not say anything more . I » itl follow the advice given me by the report—that of concord and union . But in order for this to be realised , it is Beeessary that the terms of your report should disappear . I conjure you to suspend yonr jadgment for four days , for this report is not one of justice—it is one of party ( Denials from the right , and cries of ' It is ; it is , ' from the left . )

    General Chakg arnigb said , that ho did not wish to weaken the justification which had juBt been made to the Assembly , but be felt compelled to declare that &i one o ' clock in the afternoon of the 1 G h of April the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Mayor of Paris had no knowledge of the order given by the Minister of the Interior . It was the latfear who had written the order for the rappel to be beaten . The Presidest —The memory of the gallant general was at fault . On the lGth of April the Minister of tbe Interior , in his ( M . Marrast ' s ) presence , gave the order to beat the rappel » That order it is true , met witn some obstacle at the Etat-Major of the National Guard , and it was for that reason that atone o'clock in the afternoon be renewed the order in the presence of General Changarnier . ( Movement . )

    M . Loms-BiANc —I shall not allude to the prosecution which is about to be bronght against the Revolution and agaiESt the Republic . ( Loud murmurs . ) The President . — I requegt you to ceafine yourself to the personal fact on which you exprassed a wish to speak . M . Locu-BLAisc .-It I am to be prosecuted as an accomplice in the revolution ot February , that mil be all very well . ( Murmurs . J Bat it it ia for the affair of Jane , I maintain that it is infamous to confound me wita those who were engaged in it . Iteei horror at the blood that has been ahed . 1 would not ba responsible for one drop of it ia the eyes rf history and posterity . Certainly , if I had considered the ; n . n * n > i > tlnn leeftimate . I should have gone to the

    TUB ADBB LAMENHAla . The Abbe de Ljmennais wished to put a question to tho Minister ot JuBtiee relative to the matter which had already been brought before ths Assem bly . He referred to the fact that the responsible editor igerant ) of the Pbuplk Constituent being proceeded against for an article which he ( M . do Lnimennais ) had written and signed . ' I applied , ' pursued the Abbe , ' to M . Bethmont on this subject , to proceed against me as the writer , and the person really culpable , if there be culpability in the case . That honourable gentleman left offios a day or tffO after , and my spplication has up to the present time remained without reply . I now call on the present Minister of Justice to declare what be intends to do in the caap . I call on him to authorise tho proaecu tion to be directed againBt me , and thereby to satisfy my conscience as an honest man . '

    M . Mame . Minister ef Jus'ice , replied , when the matter had been previously brought before the Assembly , it had been m ? t by a previous question , which he considered the only proper mode of disposing of it , Tbe situation bad not Btnce changed ; everything remained precisely as it was . The existing legislation opposed any other course than to proceed against the responsible editor . M . de Lames , naia aslted to bave the judicial proceedings directed against himself ; but the state of the law forbade that course from being adopted . In consequence , he thought that tho best thing for the Assembly to do was to pass to the order of the day .

Unlil the answer of Austria be received , Frano ^ is not to send an armed forco into Italy , unless Radetzky should threaten Milan , but in that event General Ondinot ia allowed a discretionary power ( in order to save the capital ) at onco to crosa the Alps and to enter Lombardy . From this it will be seen that if Radefzlcy should choose to follow up his recent advantagGB , the intervention of France may commence before the answer of Austria can be received .

    It is confidently asBejted that tbe French charge d ' affaires at Turin , and the English ambassador at tlifc same capital , have proceeded , at the request of Charles Albert , to his oamp near Cremona .

Despatches wero also sect to tho English sad French ambassadors at Vienna , direotingthfrn to offer simultaneously the common mediation of their respective governments .

    ITALY . Bozzolo , July 2 o .--The King of Sardinia having demanded a truce from Marshal Radetzky , the tbo marshal replied that he could only grant it on the surrender to him of >» ll fortresses in Lombardy , and , in addition , the important fortress of Ales-Bandria . These terms wero indignantly refused , snd the King has issued a proclamation , in which , after eulogising the bravery of his troops , and deploring the want of supplies , he saya : — ' The enemy has paid dearly for the conquest of his new positions . We retreat with 2 , 000 prisoners , wherea 3 he haa no trophy whatever to boast of .

    In Milan men of every age and condition have been enrolled in the national guard , and aeveral thousand have marched to join the Piedmonteao army . Females of every rank and class were employed in making rartridgrs ; the faubourgs of Milan were barrioaded , and defences weie thrown up in the outline villages . Reinforcements from Piedmont , amounting to 12 000 men , had arrived at Pavia . The cry of' Death to the priests' is a common vociferation , and nothing kbi than a . wholesale con 6 s > cation of church lands to support the national cause will satisfy those who are justly disgusted at the selfish policy nf these men .

    DEFEAT OP THE PIfcDMONTEBE . Losato , July 27 —In consequence of the train of misfortunes which have occurred to the Piedmontese army tho probability is Charies Albert will bs compelled to retire on Cremona , and abandon ail Che positions he a few days since so triumphantly occupied . The King , on learning the disaster of Rivoli , advanced with 6 , 000 men from Marmirola , giving orders to the Dukeot Savoy , to follow with his troops . A body of 30 , 000 men were thus concentrated at Vil tafrunca on Tuesday , and on that night and

    yesterday morning tta whole advanced iii good order , and burning to avenge the defeat of tbeir comrades on the Mincio . The Austrians were in full force , and well provided with artillery . After a desperate battle from five in the morning to five in the evening , in whioh the Piedmontese showed the ¦ raoBt determined bravery , Radetzky advanced fiom Verona with a reinforcement of 20 , 000 men , and Charles Albert ws 3 compelled to yield victory f-r tbe first time in a pitched battle , and to retire on Villafrancs , from whence , at break of day , he went to Goito :

    Brescia , July 28 . —The Austrians carried an overwhelming mass trom Monzambano on Volta , and from that height attacked Goito in the rear , and quickly dislodged the Piedmontese . Prodigies of valour wei e performed by the Piedmontese . A regiment of Savoy absolutely retook snd held Vota for severalhours by aohar ^ e of bayote's against a strong battery , supported by double the number ot Croats , It is stated , upon g od ^ uttority , that Charles Albert had demanded the intervention of the French , and applied for G 0 .

    Lombardy . —We have adviceis * trom Turin to the 1 st insfc ., and from Milan to the 31 st ult . Tbe Piedmontese army was encamped on the 30 th before Cremona . It was on the evening of that day , that in a brilliant attack on the enemy the Ilulans were routed , and 2 , 000 prisoner taken . It appears from thi 3 that Radetski had already crossed tho Oglio , so that the theatre of operations , at the date of these advices , wa 3 th © trict of the Cremone 8 e included between the Oglio , the Po , and the Adda , tho Piedmontese lines being formed on the left banks of the latter rivers , and extending from Cremona by P / z zegbettonne towards Lodi . A plance at the map will show how near the gates of Milan the contest has been brought . The report of the evacuation of Peschiera is contradicted ; that fortress is well provisioned , and is , moreover , accessible by the lake . A circular has been issued to all the curates of

    Lombardy recommending them to preach patriotism ' from the pulpit , in the tquares , and wherever the people meet . ' In a proclamation to the people the OODJIDittefl Of public defence saje ;— ' Let us raise our barricades again , cut the bridges , the dykeB , and the roadi ; let us put desolation between m and the enemy ; let us prove that we can reaist misfortune , and ( hat should an overwhelming force Hunace us , we deserve the assistance and sympathy of all Europe .

Two batteries of artillery were sent from Milan to defend tho bridge at Lodi . The construction of the intrenchments round Milan waa commenced on the 31 st . Preparations were made to eend waggons to meet the French army , in ca 3 e it Bhould cross the Alps . Charles Albert had already made preparations to fix his head quarters at Milan . By an official bulletin , dated Milan , August lit . the Italian array has suspended its movement of retreat . The enemy attacked it at Crotta d'Adda , Corno Vecchio , and Macoa Storma , but was repulsed . Brescia is preparing a vigoroua defence . The courage of the inhabitants has been greatly animated by the announced roinforcementi ot the National Guard of Milan , the gallant behaviour of General Griffini , and especially the recent visit of General Zicohi ,

    The Milan Gazette announces that the Piedmonteae ministry , as well aa the Provisional Government of Lombardy , had formally demanded tha intervention of France .

It was supposed at first to be the advance of a large corps , but our artillery ? oon silenced the cannon of the enemy , and he retired . The Austrians passed tha Oglio , and we are open to the attack of the enemy at any moment he chooses . Head-quamkrs , July 30 . —The King quitted Cremona at one past midnight , and all the troops evacuated that position in the course of the night . " At eight o ' clock this morning the Austrian vtdettes entered that city , and I have no doubt it waa ocoupied in force duriDg the day . _

    Milan was being fortified , the barricades re-established , and a fortified camp formed on the Adda . A new appeal had been made to women of all classes ' , recommending them to manufacture ball cartridges . In a word , the warmest patriotism animates tae Milanese population .

It may , therefore , be considered that the bricgo of Carsano , the position of the canal forts , and all the bridges of the Adda , had been either forced or not defended . Milan was declared in a state of siege on the 3 ? d inst ., by the committee of defence , aod the greatest twot reigned in tha city . The people appear determined to stand a siege , and to imitate th 9 example of Saragossa . Serious disturbances occurred at Florence on the 30 th ult ., occasioned by the news from Lombardy . The people and the civic guard wept in a body to the Palace of the government , demanding nrms to march at masse into Lombarcly , and crying , ' A bas la MiniBtere . '

August 4 . —By accounts from Copenhagen , ot tke 2 nd instant , wo learn that pursuant to an order of the Minister of Marine , the Elbe , Weeer , and Jahde , will be strictly blockaded from the 15 th inst . The Swedish court is highly displeased at the rejection by Germany of tbe overtures of peace ; and it was generally thought that the Emperor of Russia will be equally indignant when he leans the true state of affairs . The order from the Prussian Minister of War that there aball be no parade of troops on Sunday nest , aod consequently no allegiance to the Archduke John , as administrator , is such an act of open defiance of the Frankfort dictation as must consider ' ably impair the ideal of the German unity .

    The Dake of Brunswick ' s order of the 1 st inst . is , that though he approves of the ceDtral power being placed in the bande of the Archduke John , yet that the employment of the Brunswick forces shall be at tho disposition of the administration , in the same manner aa they were at that of the diet . Thus the three powers , Prussia , Hanover , and Brunswick , may be considered at open variance with the Frankfort parliament . Advices from Hamburg of tbe 4 th instant ,

    announce the fact that Denmark had given notice that all Gflrffian porta would be again placed under blockade , dating from the 15 th current . It was hoped that this decided step might bring about a settlement of tbe Sehleawg question . What tffact it may have upon trade remains to be seen . It is still positively maintained hero that the whole of the north of Schleswig ia in favour of the Danes , and that on a late occasion the inhabitants of Maacholm , at tho mouth of the Schlei . jreceived two boats ' crews who landed there with open arms .
