The President at last fecoinm § uflBdffimto « peak with mote moderation , when -he turned round and -vehemently apostrophised him . .

      The President then observed ihat M- Miflt had not only outraged the Assembly—that , he had braved * nd disregarded the aathority of its President , ' end consequently incurred the penalties enacted by the 119 th article of the statutes . He accordingly proposed that If- Miot be called to order , ' with censure . < Why not command my arrest V exclaimed M . Miot . . I will fulfil my duty to the end / replied M . DupinJ The Assembly , in compUanee with the suggestion of the President , desided that M . Miot should be tailed ifr order , with csnsore . Another article of the statutes , ' continued M * Dupin ,: ' provides-that any member who has abused the tribune may be prevented from speaking . '

      T < he Asssmbly , on being consulted , resolved that M , Miot should not be permitted to conclude his SMCCD M . ijapin having requested M . Miot to quit the tribune ; , the latter turned round and said , 'If I continued , what would you do . ' The ^ majority rose in a mass hurling shouts of wrath jit M . Mioti who was as warmly defended by theLsft . At length the president put on his hat , M . Miot on the request of his friends decended from { he tribunal and the incident terminated . Christmas has been celebrated by the Socialists by a series ef banquets , ona small scale . M . Proudh ' on notwithstanding his being a prisoner at St .

Brifault is to be the editor , and it is supposed that the President -will bean occasional contributor . M . Rieger , chief of the Czech party in the last Austrian chamber , and who during the revolution at Yienna retired to Prague -with his colleagues , has been arrested in Paris br two officials of M . Carlier .

      The general Jo command of the department of the Ain has just suspended from his functions M . Lecot , first deputy of the Mayor of Nantua . The cause of this act was the conduct of M . Lecot daring a late attempt " at disturbance in the town , when some socialists paraded the streets / crying out , "Vive Ledm-Rollin ! We must have Ledru-Rollin ! ' The authorities had given orders to have the persons so offending arrested , when M . Lecot gave them notice of what -was intended , and they were able to disperse . ;

      Paris , Dec . 28 th . — PafU has bean this day visited by a storm of wind and snow . The streets are two inches deep with snow , and there is every appearance of a further fall . Paris , Dec 59 th . —The snow storm with which Paris was yesterday visited appears to have extended far and wide . The mails are stopped on all sides . To-day no letters or papers have reached Paris from Italy . Spain , or England , and several of the German mails are missing . The streets of Paris are still covered with snow , and there is every appearance of an additional fall .

      More Cruelty . — A letter from L Orient of the 26 th ult ., states that 200 of the most mutinous of the insurgents of June detained at'Belle Isle , are to be placed on board pontoun 3 in the roads of L'Orient . Toe brig of war Panthere had sailed for Belle Isle to receive them . Serious disturbances broke oat last week at the Military School of La Flecb . The students forming the first battalion after bursting open the doors proceeded to the park , and did not return until a late hour ' of the night . The following day the Second Battalion mutinied . They were finally overpowered , and the chiefs imprisoned . The First Battalion is to be disbanded .

      A magnificent sword of honour—a masterpiece of workmanship—has been presented to General Changamier , bearing the following inscription;— 'The defenders of order co General Changarnier . ' [ Another sort ^ of sword is in preparation which will he presented to Cbangarnier by the defenders of justice ]] r Paws , ^ Tuesday , Jan . 1 . —This , being New Year ' s-dayv was kept a strict holyday . All the pnblic offices and the Bourse remained closed . Notwithstanding the severity of the weather the streets werecrowdsd with pedestrians and carriages , and the shops for the sale of lonhons and etrenn . es with purchasers ! The receptions tt the Palace of the Eiysee took place with the same ceremonial as during the reign of King Louis Philippe , with the eole difference that they were not held at the Tuileries .

      The vote of the French Assembly on M . de Ranees amendment with reference to the projected expedition to the River Plate leaves the main question nearly equally balanced and quite unsettled . A majority of three in a House of 627 members has decided that the estimate for a war-like expedition should be taken into consideration . Sa far the moderate opinion of the Ministry has sustained a defeat , but it i 3 onl y a partial one .

      AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . VIENNA , Dec . 25 th . — The report of the Serbian insurrection is not confirmed . It is known , however , that that people are in an exceedingly discontented and excited etate . The attempt to prepare ths Croatians for the reception of the March constitution has excited disturbances of a serious character in that prsiince . The clergy were coa * missioned by the government to set forth from their pulpits the great advantages which would accrue to the peasantry from the . abolition of the robot or

      feudal service , and other excellencies m the new charter . These sermons have been anything but veil received . la upwards of . thirty places riots have taken place , and three of the priests have keen hanged . Six battalions were sent from Agrara to reduce the disturbed districts to obedience , and La many places conflicts ensuee between the military and people : Some of the peasants have been hanged . It is extremel y difficult to ascertain the state of Croatia , as facts of this sort are not permitted to be published in the newspapers .

      The correspondent of the 'Times' writing from "Vienna on the 26 th of December , says " —^ You will doubtless h « ve resd in our papers that the Duke of Bordeaux has met with a esd accideefc , broken his leg , knocked out some of his front teeth , &e . As such a report will probably produce no little sensation in your part of the world , I will inform you of what has actuall y taken place . The train on our southern railroad , in which his Royal Highness was travelling , having stopped at Murz-ZHSchlag he left the carriage , and , as the waitidgraom at the station was excessively crowded he

      preferred walking cp and down near the rail to entering it , although the snow was lying deep on the ground . Unfortunately some very severe weather had , by freezing a previous fall of snow , formed considerable inequalities of surface , which , being invisible under the more recent snow , the Duke stumbled , fell , and broke two of his teeth , the one more , the other less . It is singular enough that just as the ' accident happened the corpse of his hrother-in . law , which was on its way to Modena , came up to the station .. The accident was of so little conieguencs tint Ms Koytl Highness , who is

      republican government . It appears to be ' the policy of the French minister of war to prevent any troiaps from rewrnivg directly from Civita Vecchiato Marseilles , and especially such a regiment as the 20 th , whose three hundred men , made prisoners by the Romans onths 30 lh of April , hosp itably treated during their detention , and g eneHsusly liberated without conditions , might naturally be supposed to bave some feelines of gratitude towards those whom they came to oppress , and some real insight into the Roman question , which they would not fail to communicate to their countrymen on their return .

The following letter , we are informed , ww lately forwarded to the editor of the 'Times' :- ^ . - Sir , —There appeared in your paper of tuesatn , a ' calumnious statement , affecting the character of a public man and of a gentlewoman L of spotlws repU . tation ; Many ¦; weeks must necessarily elapse , ere M . Kossuth , or Countess Dembinski ' s husband , or the Hungarian emigration , can hear of qrrefutfl . that accusatibn . I have reason to know the > tter falsity of the unmanly charge ; I am , perhaps , the only person at the present moment in this country who can speak from , personal knowledge on the subject ^ and should therefore think myself , neglectful of an actual duty if I allowed the reputation of jan mnocent lady and of an illustrious patriot , to remain even temporarily under Aeslanderous ' aspersion .. _ , _

      You , Mr . Editor / as a journalist , I doubt no ^ , will see sufficiently the propriety of deferring to the spirit of fair play , 'and feel sufficiently anxious ., to make reparation for ' the calumny which has crept into your columns bygiving insertion to its refutation . That refutati 6 n I shallendeavour to , eftvctb . y a simple statement of what I persanally ascertained and witnessed , without corqent , loeyond the rernark that I distinctly charge the author or autbbrs of the accusation with utter , wilful , ' ' and indignant falsehood . The . conduct of your Vieana correspondent , Who has specifically chosen to accept the responsibility Of these defamatory lies , for which he . vouches , would ; be difficult to characterise by expressions less offensive ^ ~ . ¦ . ¦ . - ' ..: ¦ ¦ . ' ' ; : of of

      ' ., I need hardly recall mo ^ the Eubstanca this pretended correspondenca from Shumla , which otertly accuses , Madam Dembinski of an improper intimacy with the late President Governor of JrJun . gary , alleging that she travelled with him under a false name , in man s attire ; that Kossuth had loat , in consequence , the command of ; the emigrants , Iffhich . Aadbeen given to PerczeL ; that Perczel represented the < femocratic , Batthayni the aristocracy party ;; . that they were both at variance with Kossuth , ^ and that the correspondent recognised a female iiii the'disguise of military rank-and uniform . I have tne honour of-the acquaintance of : M . Kossuthj of Madam Derabinski and her husband , : 6 f

      Count Batthyani , of General Perczel . I ; spent ( with the txeeption of occasional . absences ); two noonths with the'Hungariau einigr a * ion at Widdin , and aceonipanied . itpart of the way , on its m « rch to Shumlal During the chief part of that time .. I was lodged in the bousb of Kossuth . ; T . here , were , at \ y | ddin , besides myself , three En ^ lishrrien , to vrbom lean j appeal for ' the strictaccuracy ^ of my . statements , that is to . say , General Guyon , the correspondent of the ! paUyNew 8 , ^ ' an ^ yo ur , own correspondent , respecting whom yW will perhaps appreciate my silence if I am not here mbVei explicit , ' . [ .. ] ... , Inthe first place ; ' there did / not exist in : the einigration ' anyaristocratic or democratic party . . The

      refugees , like the liulkof the 'Hungarians ;; occupied themselves no morejwith sYch questibnB than the English in the time of Queen Elizabeth , menaced by the Armada .: : M . Kcssuth , Gqurit Batthyah'i ; and General Perczel , always on a -friendly ' . footing , had recently contracted the closest intimacy . '; On the night of my departure I heard . ; them pledge themselves to , the most " perfect concert , during the whole continuance of . their exile , and agree , as far as possible . ne'Ver to allow themselves to be separated from each other . The last ; accounts that I ( and I believe any one in this country ) ' have received from Shurala , indicate rather an increase than any djminuftqn of

      this good understanding . With regard to ' the deprivation ; of Kossiith ' s command over the emigration , the ex-president governor never attempted , to assume any civil or military control ; or ' other'preeminence whatever , over the emigrants . beyond the spontaneous . "deference conceded to his ' late supremacy , antecedents , and renovvu . Genera Giiyonhad the military . command of , the emigration . On his departure for Constantinople it wa 9 assumed by Mourad Pacha ( Gen . Besa : ) And Mourad Pacha having quitted Widdin , in an armed steamer , before the em gration commenced its march , the command of the Hungarians devolved , naturally on General Perczel .

      • Besides a few canteen women there were but two females—the Countesses ; Batthyany and ^ Dembinski —accompanying the emigration . The story of the lady in uniform is a sheer fabrication . : I come now to Madame , or more properly , ' the Countess Dembinski , and if obliged to enter into seemingly indelicate details , must plead as my apology both to that lady and to the public the grossness of the outrage to which she is victim . Madame Dembinski is the daughter of a merchant of Arad , and the wife of Count DeraWnski , a Gallician nobleman ; and relative of the general of that name . Madame Dembinski was married before ever she saw Kossuth . ' She followed Her husband

      to the camp ;' and . I have heard both him / and herself relate lhar , excepting during the continuance of an engagement , they had never since their marriage been even for a dayseparated from each other . Madame LDembinski , is of an , almost . infantine simplicity , and has never attempted ; any interference in politics . . Count Dembinski , being attached , to the person of Kossuth spends his whole time under Kossuth ' s roof ^ and ( since ; the late President Governor bas kept a table" ) the Countess pembiiiskl presides over it . Both Count and Countess perabinski are in ; ill-health end still suffering from intermittent fever , caught during their Retreat from Hungary . Kos ? uth , who is old enough to be their father , seems to take a paternal interest in this ' young couple .

      Kossuth ; during the first part of his sojourn at Widdin , inhabited the house of the chief of the police , in which ; he occupied a single room , together with an aide-camp and his interpreter . Here , being without convenience for the preparation of any regular repast , I found him eating- his solitary meal out of rude earthenware t with ^ an iron ^ poori . ; , _ , ..- .: . During the last riionth ' of his stay , in consequence of peremptory orders from Constantinople , the best house in Widdin . was placed at his disposal j ^ hut , as he would not dispossess ' the ' owner , whose Earem filled the upper storey , only the four ground-floor apartments were occupied by him , and served to lodge some dozen persons of his suite , '

      hesidiesservauts . The room which he day and night inhabited was , in both houses ; * according to the Turkish fashion , always open to allow free ingress to all comers , and could only be closed by a curtain drawn across the doorway . ; : . Kossuth / during the whole of his stay in \ VidiHn ; may therefore be said to have lived in a glass house , and , amidst the empty honours finally paid him , had ' constant reason to , complain of the want of privacy . The Count and Countess Dembinski did nnt lodge in the same house with Kossuth ,: except on two exceedingly cold nights , when in consequence of their state of health a room was ceded to them , its former ' occupants ' being

      quartered for the time upon Koasuth ., ; For the same reason , the late president-governor ^ to whom a comfortable travelling carriage had been presented ^ gave a seat in it to the Ufembinski ' s , whose earriagehad no springs . The last '' day that I accompanied the march ' l saw JKossuth : on horseback , with Count Batthyani onxme ; hand and General Perczel on the other , and Count Dembinski with his lady following in the carriage . -It is , necessary that . I should seriously add that to the best of my belief and ktiow-{ edge'Madame Dembinski , who is : distinguished by graces essentially feminine , never arrayed herself in male attirein her life ? ' "" ' .. ' . " :, . ¦' ..... ;

      Inconclusion I can . frame hut-one conjecture as to the motive of this ' ' unfounded arid scurrijlous attack on a suffering , inoffensive , expatriated ; wbmah , and on a husband and father so notoriously devoted as M . Kossuth to his own wife and children . , " That conjecture ; Mr . Editor , ( and I conceive your consequent dread of any participation in such a scheme ; however involuntary ) wilt ; if the ' reasons I have previously adduced prova insufficient , I aim sure determine you to insert this . letter .,. ¦; ' . ? ' . ' Madame Kossuth is ( or was until . recently ) : concealed in Hungary . ; , She had , refused to ' follow her husband in the hope of rejoining her children . AH the efforts of the Austrian police have hitherto been unavailing to discover her retreat—has this , slander Uaen devised to draw her from her hiding place ? I am , Sir , ' your obedient servant , .. '
