FRANCE . ( From the Morning Chronicled ) Paris , Thursday . —The Electoral Law . —The dull and interminable discussion on the electoral law , which has been going on for some days past , was , in the sitting of yesterday evening , enlivened by an amendment brought forward by the well-known M . Pierre Leroux . The seventy-third clanse of the bill enumerates the crimes and offences which are to exclude cmzens from either being electors or from sitting . as representatives in the Lejislative Assembly . Ine As ' sembly had successively adopted t ! -: e different portions of the clause which excludes from seats in the Chamber all individuals condemned at any penoa 01
their lives for crimes and felonies , as *^ " * ° * condemned for theft , swindling , abuse of confidence , usury , and also those interdicted from ttar cwj rig hts-insane persons . &c . M . Freslon endeavoured to make an exception in favour of persons who had been afflicted with seiely temporary insanity , and contended with great warmth that several of the most honourable and most useful public men had , at some periods of iheir lives , been confined for a lime in maisons desante , but that that was no reason why tbev should for ever , afterwards be excluded from all participation in State affairs . The Assembly , however , refused to make any exception , and determined that all persons who had ever been insane should be excluded . Another attempt was made in faveur of those Who lisd Udell convicted for
theft before the age of sixteen years , but who , if this law were passed , would find themselves during the whole course of their Iive 3 deprived of their civil rig hts ; and it was contended that it was extremely hard that such jersons should be punished perpetually for a crime committed at a period of life when they ought not to be held respons'ble . The Assembly refused te listen to any such , reasoning , and at ence adopted the clanse . This rig our on the part of the Assembly roused M . Pierre Leroux . He ascended the tribune in a
state of great excitement , 'Itwas . ' said he , ' in hearing yon pass such a series of Draconian laws that the idea came upon me ( to show y < iii how yon fire abasing jour iiotfefe ) of proposing that those persons who have been or shall be condemned for the crime of adulterr , shall he incapable of being elected members of " the Legislature . * This proposition was received with lond laughter , bat M . Leroux contended that if the principle of exclusion in the case of theft was good , it was equally good in that of adultery . He then went on to argue that the principle of exclusion was altogether an absurdity . The sovereignty of the people was
absolute , and any attempt to restrict the choice of representatives was a vioktion of that sovereignty . The people was the source of all rights , and of the rig ht of mercy as well as others . With an electoral law , such as the National Assembly now proposed to pass , Jesns Christ himself could not have been elected a representative of the people . Isaac Ne , wton Lad been considered as a madman , &c . He concluded by declaring that , in moving for the exclusion of adulterers from the Assembly , his object was to do for families , by branding them , what the Assembly was doing for property in branding thieves .
M . Baze opposed tbe motion on the ground that there were some offences which are condemned rather by public opinion than by the law , and that this was one of them . M . Billatjlt admitted that adultery was a crim 3 like theft , but it had not the same character , nor the same signification . On this account legislators had always made a difference between such crimes , and a magistrate was not allowed officially to pnnish the crime of adultery , excepting on the complaint of the injured individual .
M . Leroux made a !'> ng reply to this speech , but he was frequently interrupted by the impatience of the Assembly , which was anxious to come to the vote . Finding " at length that he would not be listened to , he closed bis observations suddenly , sneeringly observing to his interupters , that 'he could understand their haste to come to a vote , for the purpose ot giving an amnesty to the vices of the rich . ' Tee result was , however , very different from what was expected . After two doubtful divisions , par asAi et lete , the Assembly balloted on the question , and to the astonishment of every one M . Pierre Leroux s amendment was carried by a majority of 57 , the numbers being—for the amendment . 288 ; against it , 229 .
The Iksorgents of June . —Forty of the insurgents of June who had been pardGned have again been arrested by the Commissary of Police of La Chapelle St . Denis , in consequence of their disturbing the neighbonrhood at nig ht and singing seditious songs . Effects ofBogeaud ' s Pacification . —Serious affrays broke out on the 19 di and 20 th ult , at Lyons . They took place in one of the principal squares of that city , near a statue of the Peuple Souverain , which had been erected some time since , and which , it was reported among the people , the government ¦ was about to remove . On the 19 th , the crowd having broken the windows of the barracks occupied bv the dragoons , a party of the dragoons sallied
forth , with arms in their hands , and attacked the crowd , among whom a great number were wounded . One man was run through by a sabre , and died on the spot . Ths mob contrived to get one of tbe officers into a fap , and took him prisoner , but the soldiers contrived to recover him just as he was on the point of being put to death . The Prefect of Lvons has addressed a proclamation to the inhabitants , praying them to aid him in keeping the public peace . The Lyons ( bourgeois ) papers state that the Socialists are doing all they can to irritate the soldiers . It is supposed that these disorders are in consequence of the presence of Marshal Bageaud at Lyons . The Marshal receives every day enonymaus letters threatening him with death .
THE -ANNIVERSARY OF THE REVOLUTION ! ( From the Times . ) Saturday . —The religious ceremony in commemoration of the Revolution of February ; has passed off in the most tranquil manner , notwithstanding the vast crowds that thronged the streets . Prom an early hour the strains of military music were heard from the different corps as they were proceeding to their respective destinations . The weather was fine , though the morning rose in clouds and mist , as i" nature had also put on her mourning
for the victims of revolution . The sombre appearance of the heavens passed off , however ; and , though some importance was attached to it by the superstitions , yet it was no less a fact that nearly at the moment when the thunder of artillery announced that the funeral wail , the chant of mourning for the victims of February , the dirge for the dead , was over , and that the Te Deitm , the hymn of joyous thanksgiving , was begun , the clouds began to roll away , and the sun shone forth from a serene and cloudless sky .
At the hour specified in the programme of the ceremonial , the representative ! assembled together in the Salle dela Presidence of the National Assembly ; and exactly at half-past nine o ' clock they , -with their president , vice-presidents , and secretaries at their head , put themselves in motion , and , the greater part on foot and decorated with the tricolor sash , edged with gold fringe , which they wore from rig ht to left , and the rosette also , the distinguishing . mark of a deputy , worn at the left buttonhole , they proceeded at a slow pace to the church . The whole of the way through which the representatives pissed , —namelv , tbe Pontde la Concorde , the Place de la Concorde , and the Ruede la Concorde , was lined with troops and National Gnards alternately ; and of whom a considerable number were stationed
towards the Tmleries and tbe extremity of the Rue de Rivoli . From the Place de la Concorde to the Church of the Madeleine , te the right and left , extended a series of lofty pedestals , supporting each a tripod , from whish shot forth a sombre flame . Similar pedestals were placed at each of the four angles of tbe Pont dela Concorde . The Place de la Concorde had special symbols of mourning . From the centres of the four compartments into which the place is divided sprang into the air four lofty masts , —from which , but less than half-way up , Seated , in sign of mourning , the colonrs of the Republic , but veiled with a mourning crape .
The moment the representatives of the people had assumed their places in ths church an express despatched to the Palais Elysee informed the President of the Republic of the fact ; and in a few moments the roll of carriage wheels and the tramplin g of horses ' feet in the direction of the ' Rue St . Honore , told that the only one whose presence was wanting to complete the assemblage was fast ap preaching . The troops that lined the streets along the Roe Faubourg St Honore and the Ruj Royaie presented arm ? , and the carriage of Louis Napoleon wa g seen coming lion ? , escorted by a troop of Dra-$ oom . The cry of 7 yelfl President' then arose *

and was borne along . each moment gathering new strength , until he arrived at the steps of the church . He descended from his carriage accompan d by single aide-de-camp , and mounted the steps ba . re headed , when be was received by th . Co « of U * SSsSfiSfiis ^ IS ^ -FSS afcd as high priest in the solemn ceremony for the dead . The service was performed in the impressive manner so familiar 10 the ritual ' of the Catholic Church . The vocal and instru mental music was of the highest merit ; and when the Te Deum was chanted in full choir , accompanied by the whole of the instruments , above the heaved forth
which tbe solemn swell of organ billows of sound , tbe effect was truly electric . The coup d ' azU was not less striking . The mass of representatives whose sad-coloured raiment was relieved by the tricolour scarf—the . glitter of the military uniforms—the speaking sadness of the widows and orphans of the victims of the revolution of February gathered together round the cenotaphtbe gorgeous vestments of the Archbishop and his assistant clergy ; the meek and venerable aspect of the pastor himself , whose eyes were filled with tears , as his thoughts wandered to the memory of his martyred predecessor—the thousand lights that blazed upon the hig h altar , the clouds of incense that floated on high as the light flame was fitfully emitted in an atmosphere of perfume—the wailing sounds
that filled the air as the memory of the dead was chanted , and then , Ihe most glorious of all , the electric burst of triumphant sounds that seemed to move the very pillars of the edifice , and to be repeated from the lofty roof—the thunder ef the artillery of the Invalidesand the removal oi the ensigns of mourning , and the simultaneous hoisting , full mast hieh , on all the public edifices , of the Republican flag—all presented a p icture as dificult to describe as it would be to tell the feelings excited byit . The service lasted about two hours ; it began at ten o clock , and at twelve o ' clock the troops and National Guards , whose offices were required only during the service , were on their way to their respective quarters .
About ten o ' clock a number of pwsons , from 400 to 500 , with four or five tricoloured flags , were seen coming from the Boulevard de Montmartre . They moved along by threes , and proceeded towards the Madeleine . On the flags were inscrip tions , such as ' Vive la Republique , ' Vive la Liberte , ' and on one was inscribed the words' Les Veuves et les Orphe-Hns de Fevrier . ' Around this last banner were congregated a number of well-dressed women and children , all in deep mourning , and some holding the cordons , formed of black crape , depending from the flag which was similarly veiled . As Boon as they passed the Rue Louis le Grand they were met by a Captain of the Staff , sent by tbe General of
Brigade , from the corner of the Rue de la Paix ; he demanded who they were , what they wanted , and whither they were proceeding ? The answer was that they wished to be present at the funeral service at the Madeleine , with the widows and orphans who accompanied them ; but that if any objection existed they wonld not persevere . The officer , with much courtesy , said that his orders were to prevent any groups from proceeding in that direction ; they must return , or remain where they were . They immediately fell back and separated , after uttering a cry or two of ' Vive la Republic' The body was
composed , betides the widows and orphans mentioned , of the wounded of Febrnary . They were all of the better class of workmen , and were well dressed . There were several National Guards in uniform amongst them . Another body , bat only amounting to about thirty men , passed along the Rue Neuve S t . Augustin . They had also a flag , which was borne by a tall black man dressed in military uniform , and wearing on his breast the decoration of the legion of Honour and the medal of July . These were the wounded of July , 1830 . I believe they were allowed to pass , owing no doubt , to the smallness of their number .
The Ultra-Democratic and Socialist journals of this morning publish their promised address to the people . The document , which is as follows , is signed by fifty-eig ht members of that party in the Assembly , and by the editors of all their journals : — ' TO THE PEOPLE . ' Citizens , —It is how a year since the people , in possession of its sovereignty , proclaimed the Republic The glorious anniversary consecrated by a decree , and become a national fete , will never be effaced from our memory . Our brothers have fallen to achieve the Republic ; let us piously preserve the remembrance of their civic virtues , of their
devotedness to the country ; and let us renounce for this time the religious idea of going collectively to deposit on the tombs of those martyrs our tribute of gratitude and of admiration . The enemies of the Republic will hypocritically celebrate this day . Let us give them no pre text in their implacable haired ; let us know how to resist all their provocations , and confide in the justice of our cause . The distress of commerce has produced frightful misery ; popular manifestations , even the most legitimate and the most pacific , would give afresh occasion for
accusing . tbe Republicans of this universal stagnation . Our resignation will serve to prove that the evil has other sources , and the government will be no longer able to conceal the powerlessness of its system to re-establish public prosperity . Let us not render ourselves the accomplices of those odious falsehoods which throw on the people the responsibility of the misery which exists . Let ns , in fine , show who are the friends of order , and who are its enemies . We beseech all Republicans to abstain from any solemn manifestation which may give an advantage to th e enemies of the evolution . '
Great Banouet . —On Sunday , a banquet attended by upwards of twelve hundred of the friends of the ' Republique Democratique et Sociale , ' took place in Paris . Ledru Rollin , Pierre Leroux , Lamensais , and all the principal members of the Mountain took part in the proceedings , which were characterised by unbounded enthusiasm , and the expressed determination of all present to struggle for the triumph of the ' Republique Democratique et Sociale . '
MANIFESTATIONS IN THE DEPARTMENTS . ( From the Daily News . ) Tdesday . —The anniversary of the revolution has been the occasion of disorders in tbe provinces , intelligence of some of which has arrived in Paris . The following appears in the iloniteur of this morning : — 'At Clamecy 500 or 600 men paraied the town , preceded by drums and banners , crying ' Yive Raspail ! ' ' Vive le Montagne ! '' Vive la guillotine ! ' 'A has les culottes ! ' * A bas les tyrans ! ' and did not discontinue their disorders
until they learned that a detachment of troops had been sent for . At Toulouse the Prefect suspended two companies of the National Guard who bad defended the bonnet rouge . At Auch , some of the National Guards , with their officers , paraded the town , uttering unlawful cries , but were suspended by the Prefect . At Dijon , the authorities seized some bullets recently cast , and powder . Tiro persons were arrested . At La Guillotiere the rioters had set up the bonnet rouge and the Prefect had ordered the municipal authorities to take it down . In the department of the Drome the maires having
refused their assistance to remove this emblem of disorder , the Prefect , attended by some troops , had effected it . At Carcassone the same thing occurred . At Narbonne the members of a club of tbe repuhliqvfi rouge insulted by an indecent ' pasquinade' the President of the Republic . A similar outrage was inflated on the lieutenant of the Herse National Guard , who is known as an energetic defender of order . Troops were sent into Narbonne , where more disorders were expected on the 25 th , but which were prevented by this demonstration . The Infamous Government . —It is stated that the President of the Republic , and the majority of tie Ministers , have decided that the envoys sent to Paris by the Roman Republic shall not be received by the French government . —Times . «
No Amnesty . —The Committee of Justice has recommended the rejection of M . La Grange ' s proposition for a general amnesty . The Approaching State Trials . —The MonU teur publishes a notice signed by M . Berenger , the president of the High Court of Justice , commanding that the trial of the authors and accomplices of the attack of the 15 th May shall take place atBourges on the 7 th of March next , at ten o ' clock in the
morning . Thb Ruling ' Conspirators . ' — The Citizen D'Alton Shee who was arrested on the 30 th of January , and who has at length been set at liberty , has addressed the following letter , dated the "fBrd , to the « Presse ' : — I was arrested on the morning of the 30 th ult . on a warrant from the Prefect of Police , under a charge of conspiracy tending to excite civil war , distribution of arras , &c . Yesterday , the 22 nd , I was set at liberty , in consequence of its being

found that the charge was unfounded . As I have already stated , the seizure and examination of all ray papers could not furnish the authorities with any document of a suspicious character . After twentyfour days' researches , they have not been able to produce a single witness , or to discover a sing le accomplice . The ministry have announced in the Chamber and in its journals the existenee of a Socialist plot , which had been thwarted by its energy and by the bravery of General Changamier . The government set on foot a long and minute inquiry , aided by all the resources of arbitrary power . What
has resulted from it ? Three arrests and three liberations ; in a word—nothing . The representafives of the people will , in their turn , have a duty to perform . A committee has under consideration a propssition for an inquiry into the events of Jan . 29 ( 1 ) . Te-morrow , perhaps , the discussion will take place . Let not the National Assembly be afraid to examine whether there was a conspiracy , and who are the guilty parties . To arrive at a knowledge of the truth , it will neither require preventive arrests nor difficult investigation ; it will only have to induce certain of its members to speak , and the others to listen . '
L . A . Blanqui haB addressed a letter to the editor of the' Peuple , ' dated ' Donjon de Vinc ' ennes , ' on Monday , in which he states that on Sunday last , the last day allowed by law , he was served with a copy of the depositions taken against him , but he has not received a copy of the indictment on which he is to be tried . The consequence of such neglect , he adds , will be to render all defence impassible . The object of the prosecution , lie says , is to enable the Royalists , while they are sacrificing iu the name of the Republic its oldest defenders , to overthrow that same Republic against which they are conspiring in the face of the country .
It is understood , however , that the copy of the indictment , of the non-service of which Blanqui complains , was communicated to him on Monday nig ht . ¦¦ ' GERMANY . »¦" FRANKFORT . —After a leng debate the National Assembly voted , on the 20 th ultimo , the first and second sections of the law of election . They are as follows . —* Every German of irreproachable character , who has passed his twenty-fi : ' th year , is an
elector . Persons are excluded from the franchise wheu they stand under guardianship or tru » teeship , when they are legally declared in a state of bankruptcy and insolvency , and when they are in the jeceipt of . relief from public or communal establish , ments , or when they have received such relief during the twelve months preceding the elections . The words irreproachable character' w « re voted by a majority of 237 to 224 ; but , on the other hand the words' every independent German' were rejected by a majority of 422 to 21 ,
PRUSSIA . —Intelligence bas been received of the death of Prince Waldemar of Prussia , at Munster , where he had been residing for a long period , suffering from a painful disease , that left no hope of recovery . The young prince was present at all the operations of the campaign against the Sikhs , under Lord Hardinge . The prince died at the age of 32 . He was a son of Prince William of Prussia , the uncle of the present . king . Berlin . — The new deputies had nearly all arrived to take their seats on the 25 th ult . The Democrats , it was believed , would propose M . Unruh as their candidate for the Presidency of the Second Chamber . AUSTRIA . —The Austrian Parliamentary
Committee on Constitutional matters has finished its labours and sent in its report , with a draught of the plan of the Constitution of the empire . That plan is very liberal , and almost democratic , and has a tendency to federal principles . The empire is to consist of ten ' crown lands , ' with a governor , an administration , and a Diet to each of themy 7 'he Diets are proposed to sit for two months in the year , and a general Diet is to assemble at Vienna . That general Diet is to consist of two houses or chambers ; the parliamentary duration of the Lower Chamber is fixed for a period of two years , and that of the Upper for six . The draught gives the Emperor the usual prerogative of executive power . Each province is to have a separate financial administration .
Vienna . —The 'Times' correspondent states that the fortress of Komorn was completely surrounded on the 23 d ult . General Simunich , who conducted the siege , succeeded in cutting off & party of 2 , 000 Hungarians , who had sallied for a foray , though he could not capture them . As they cannot return to the fortress , they will most likely disperse . Neverthelessi there is little hope of a 8 [> eedy surrender of the maiden fortress , for even the shutting her up was a task which it has taken above two mouths to complete . The lessening of the garrison of Komorn may indeed counterbalance many of its natural advantages . The fortress is extremely well provisioned , and its situation is such that the besieging batteries can take no effect oh its battlements .
ENTRANCE OF THB RUSSIANS INTO TRANSYLVANIA . Vienna , Ffb . 21 . —No slieht commotion was created yesterday , by ths arrival of a courier from Transylvania , reportiug the defeat of Bern ' s army , and the occupation of Cronstadt and Hermanstadt by Russian troops . 6 , 000 men entered the former p lace on the 1 st , and 4 , 000 the latter on the 4 th ult . According to their own bulletins the Austrians g ive no quarter ! Accounts from Pesth speak of sympathy manifested by the Jews for Kossuth ' s party . Sixty cartloads of forage and military stores , provided by that people , were intercepted on their road to Debrecsin , and this subsequent to the edict published by Prince Windischgratz , levying a fine of 20 , 000 florins on all the Hebrew communes de « tected in making common cause with the Magyars .
ITALY . THB ROMAN REPUBLIC . The Roman clergy having refused to officiate at a Te Deum performed in St . Peter of the Vatican on ihe 11 th ult ., mass was celebrated by a military chaplain , assisted by soldiers bearing torches . The representives ot the people were present . The President of the Roman Constituent read , at the sitting of the 11 th ult ., a letter from M . Mamiani , tendering his resignation of the functions of representative ; which was accepted by the Assembly . The Minister of War next communicated a despatch from the Prefect of Bologna , announcing that most
of the Swiss soldiers had adhered to the new convention be had signed with General Latour , and that they would continue to serve the Roman Republic . On the same day M . Armellini informed the Assembly that the Government Committee had accepted the mission confided to it , but demanded to be assisted by responsible Ministers . After some discussion the proposition of M . Armellini was acceded to by 77 votes . On the 12 th ult . M . Tornaboni moved , and the Assembly decreed , that Joseph Mazzini be invited to R me , and that the title of citizen be conferred on him . M . Sterbini next presented the following project of law : —
' 1 . The laws shall be made and justice rendered in the name of God and the people . All the laws and public acts are to he headed in that form . ' 2 . The flag of the Roman ' Republic shall be tricolonred ( Green , Red , and White ) , with an eagle in the centre . ' 3 . All public functionaries , citil and military , are relieved from their oath to the government abolished . ' This decree was voted by acclamation . In the sitting of the Roman Constituent Assembly of the 13 th , the Minister Sterbini , in the name of
the Minister of Finance , presented a bill providing that all ecclesiastical property shall henceforward belong to the State , and that all alienation of the said property , whether real or moveable , shall be considered null aud void . A project was moved by Deputy Tantini to the same effect , but directing also that proper provision should be made for the support of public worship , and that the estates ot the Church shall be granted to agriculturists upon a ground rent . The 1 st . and 3 rd . articles of the Ministerial measure were voted by urgency ; the remainder , with the counter-project , were sent to the Committees .
The Executive Committee ... had accredited M . Boni envoy to Switzerland , M . Torricelli to Sicily , and M . Feliciani to Piedmont . The Committee of the Constituent Assembly to which the proposition of M . Pianciani relative to the convocation of the Italian Constituent on the 10 th of March had been referred , had agreed to it , but suggested that the appeal be made to the existing government and not to the people , and that the convocation of the Italian Constituent be postponed until the 15 th of March . The Constituent adopted the following resolution on the 14 th : — The Roman republic recognises the public debt as national and inviolable . ' M . Bonaparte alone voted against it .
The new coinage is to issue forthwith , with a helmeted head of Rome and the republic ' s arras . On the obverse , an eagle volant , civic wreath , and onsular fasces .

By a decree of the 14 th ult ., the Provisional Government of Tuscany directs that Tuscany shall send thirty-seven deputies to Rome for the Italian Constituent Assembly , i
PROCLAMATION OF THE REPUBLIC IN TUSCANY . A letter from Florence , of the 18 th ult ., announces that the Republic wa * proclaimed there on that day , and a tree of liberty planted . The streets were filled by the population wearing the red . cockade . The government had assumed the title of Provisional Govern iseHt of the Roman Republic in Tuscany . It is composed of Guerrazzi , Montanelli , and Zannetti , Commander of the National Guard . Mazzini had left Florence for Rome , in order to effect a fusion of the two states .
The Provisional Government of Tuscany had resolved to despatch special commissioners to the provinces for the purpose of ' awakening the generous sentiments oi the nation , securing all the available ways and means , and facilitating the equipment ; of the National Guards and the enrolment of volunteers .

VENICE . —By three decrees of the 9 th ult . of the Provisional Government of Venice—1 . The Assembly of Deputies , convoked on the 3 rd of June , is dissolved . ' 2 . The new assembly is convoked for the 15 th ult . The popular irritation against the Swiss in Italy has attained a high degree at Venice . On the 29 th January the clubs of that city called on the government to expel all the Swiss , if within a month the Swiss troops had not quitted Naples , and if the measures taken against the Italian refugees by the federal council were not revoked .
NAPLES . —The Alba of Florence , under date of Gaeta , the 10 th ult ., says , ' A secret consistory has lately been held , at which tbe Hol y Father and the Cardinals attended . It was decided to demand openly an armed intervention of Austria , France . Spain , and Naples , to the exclusion of Piedmont . The object of this intervention is to restore the Pope . ' The address to the king for the dismissal of the ministry was carried by a majority of 74 to 2 G , on the 12 th , and was to be presented by a depiitation .
THE CONGRESS ON THE AFFAIRS OF ITALY . It appears that the rumours afloat with respect to the determination of Austria to abide by the treaties of 1815 , are correct . Count Colloredo had several non-official interviews with Sir Henry Ellis and M . de Legrene , in which he informed them that he was in possession of full powers to take part in the name of Austria in the Conferences at Brussels , but that if the object of these conferences was in any way to rlter the treaties of 1815 , it was almost useless to open the Congress , as Austria was firml y resolved to run the chances of war rathei than to
allow herself to be deprived of her Italian posses sions , which were secured to her by the final act of Vienna . Count Colloredo therefore recommended to M . Lagrene to inform his government exactly of the true intentions of Austria , and to aak M . Drouyn de Lhuys for fresh instructions for the moment when the Congress would definitively meet . As regards England , Count Colloredo is now in London , for the purpose of delivering his credentials , as Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of St . James ' s . He has undertaken to state verbally to Lord Palmerston the intentions of the Austrian Cabinet .
The more the question of the Brussels Congress ia examined , with calmness and impartiality , the more clearly will one arrive at the conclusion that the conferences , especially after the recent turn affairs have taken in Central Italy , have become superfluous , and that the mediating Powers , so far from contributing by them to the union of Italy and the preservation of the peace of Europe , are only preparing for themselves the humiliation of a ridiculous failure . ' La Presse' announces that the Congress at Brussels has been indefinitely adjourned , and that in consequence M . Lagrene , the Plenipotentiary appointed to represent the French Republic , had returned to Paris .
MARCH OF THE RUSSIANS—PROBABILITY OF A GENERAL WAR !!! The ' Assemblee Nationale' of Tuesday , says : — ' The Bourse was alarmed to-day by the official news of the departure of the Russian Imperial Guard from St . Petersburg . That guard is composed of 52 , 000 select troops : they had not quitted St . Peterburgh since 1831 , the period of the great war against Poland . The imperial gnard has already arrived at Wilna , and en the 1 st of March will be on the extreme frontier . Where are all these immense forces going ?'
SPAIN . The International of Bayonne , of the 20 th ult ., quotes a letter from Catalonia , stating that General Lersundi defeated on the 13 th , at Recessens , the Progresieta bands , commanded by Araetler , with the loss of ten killed and fifty prisoners . Among the latter were the Intendant Joaristi , the Cabecilla Molins , Monchini , and six other superior officeis . Amttler , closly pursued by the Queen ' s troops , escaped into France . He was arrested at Sorede b y the French authorities , and removed to Perpignan , with thirty of his followers , under a strong escort .
