MltLtfwas done ** s to refer back : to the committee the amendment brought forward by II . d » Ranee , and which was to the effect that ten ladlions should be granted to the government for the purpose of fitting but an expedition against General Rosas . Notwithstanding the refusal of the gorera . ment to accept this gramon the ground that it was
, a declaration of war , the amenameat having -M ) 8 Pn referred by the Assembly to the committee , itiecame necessary to report upon it , and it was on the report then produced by M . Dara that the discussion of yesterday was founded . The debate was commenced by the reading of the report of the commit-Itee by M . Darn . It states thfffc the committee rejects the amendment of M- & Sance , because it thinks that it ought to be left to the government to apportion the means to the en 3 ia view , and aJss because it was impolitic to fit the precise amount of the grant , as It would be the means , of informing the adversary of the maximum of the efforts 3 ? rance
¦ would be disposed to make against him . The report concluded by a new amendment , suggested by the committee , to the following effect : — The National Assembly invites the Executive Power to support the negotiation , which it now prepares to enter on , bv forces sufficient to ensure its success , as well as the safety of the French subjectsat La Tlata . * M . dsRince then declared that he withdrew bis amendment , and united with that of the committee . M . de Lanssat opposed ths new woni - ing , as likely to lead in the end to war , and recommended the adoption of the Le Predour treaty , as the safest course to be adopted . M . Hubert-Desisle
advocated an armed intervention , and was followed by the Minister of Foreiga Affairs , who , after -remarking on the danger and difficulty likely to arise from making treaties public from tie tribune , -declared that the government was opposed to the svsiesn of the committee , confining itself to a continuation of the negotiations still panning , at the same time that adequate means of protection sbocld be provided for the French subjects at La Plata . M . Raudot called on the Assembly not to forget that an armed negotiation amounted to war ; he proposed the nomination of a special committee to consider the special question of war or peace . Admiral Dapetit-Thouars declared himself strongly in favour of war , and expressed an opinion that an expedition properly directed would terminate the affair in KX months . The discussion was then adjourned .
There appear to be three classes of opinion in the Assembly . The government declares in favour of the continuation of the pending negotiations , supported by sufficient force to insure efficient protection to the subjects of France resident at Monte "Video . The committee declares in favour of an armed negotiation ; and another party , of which Admiral Dupetit-Thouars is ths organ , contends for a great and effectual expedition , or failing that , an abandonment of the question . The resnlt of the ballot in the Legislative Assemblv vesterday , on the election of the president and
vice-presidents , shows clearly that disunion is spreading amongst the racks of the Conservative majority . M- Dupin . who was elected president on the 3 rd of October lastly 339 rotes , could only obtain 29 U yesterdey . The result of the ballot for the four wce-prcsidents is still more significant . M . Benoist d'Azy lost 93 of the Legitimist votes , given to M . Dsrn . General Bedeau wanted 21 votes to secure his election : and M . Leon lauclier , who is looked up to as the future Minister of ths Interior , obtained 1 41 vo ' . es which three months since would have been given to General Bedeau .
At the commencement of the sitting of . the Assombly to-day , If . Dnpin addressed- a letter to the Asseably , in whicU he declined accepting the office of President of ths Assembly , to which he was yesterday elected , on account of the small number of suffrages which he had obtained . The announcement erected a great sensation in the Assembly , but it was determined whet should ba done in the circumstances . The ballot for the fonrth vice-president of the Assembly , taken to-day , was again declared to he null , it appearing that n&ne of the candidates had a sufieient majority . The debate en ths La Plata qnestion was then resumed ! M . Sonher , in the name of the cabinet , strongly opposed the resolution proposed by the comaiittce . M . Thiers fallpsad . He declared himself in favour of an armed negotiation .
Paris , Sunday—la the legislative Assembly yesterday , after the speech of M . Thiers , ^ and a reply from M . Ronher , the Minister of Justice , the general debate on the La Plata question was closed . A number of amendments were then brought forward , most of which proposed that the settlement of the question should be left in the hands of the Goverrxaest , with the reecommendation that it should take the means necessary to procure better terms from General Rosas than those obtained by the Le Predour treaty . It baing necessary that the new amendments should be examined by the committee before being discussed in fall Assembly , the debate was adjourned till Mondar .

HUHGARY AND AUSTRIA . The constitution of March was solemnly f ublished in Pesth on St . Stephen ' s ; day , the f 26 tli of iDecember It was read in German and-Hungamn , but not ' in the Slovak language , as all present : unanimously declared tfeat they bad understood it-in the one or other of the languages which had hsenerasployed . High mabs and Te Weum were afterwards ^ celebra ted , and tie ceremony concluded with a
great dinner given by Baron SHaynau . Six persons , formerly Austrian officers , were condemned to « eathonthe 12 th ult . at Arad , i » ut their sentences were commuted to twelve -years ! arrest in iross ; two others were sentenced to twelve years' arrest , one to five , and aRether to three years . The ' National Zeitung says , that a tcas-eller who had arrived ^ t Czerhowilz , from Moldavia , reported that great numbers of ; Russian troops , particularly cavalry , were being conceatrated there . ,
TURKEY AND RUSSIA . CoNST&ynNOPLE . Dec . 13 . —A courrier has arrived her « from St . Petersburgh with ihe Emperor ' s answer 16 the . last communication made to . his Imperial Majesty by the sublime Porte with regard to the question of the Polish , and Hungarian refugees . In a former letter I toia you that tne Turkish ministers were willing to consent to the expulsion of all those Poles- who had been concerned in the late Hungarian insurrection , but that they objected to the expulsion , of Polish refugees who : were resident in Tnrkey previously to that event , and who wre provided ' with French or other , foreign . passports " .
The Czar has agreed to the terms proposed by the Porte , and Dembenski and the other Poles- who served in Hungary are to be expelled , and their countrymen resident in Turljey who were not concerned in that insurrection are to remain unmolested . If , however , for the future any person . whatsoever , without reference to the country under ' whose protection he may be , shall , whilst resident in the . Ottoman Empire , " be guilty of any act hostile to the government of the Emperor Nicholas , he shall , at the demand of the Russian Envoy , be expelled from the Sultan ' s dominions . Kossuth and the Hungarian refugees are to . be confined in a fortified town in the
mteriorl They are not to be close prisontri , but their place of residence will , be fixed , and they will be under : the constant surveillance of the Turkish authorities . The foregoing is an outline of the arraneement-of the I ' orte and the allied Imperial Powers have come to in the present question . The Ambassadors of France and England have approved the terms of the settlement , ' with , however , certain restrictions as regards the expulsion ' of ; persons who may be under the protection of either of = the | r respective governments . When a charge of ,
conspiring against the Russian government shall be broaght against a person provided with an . English or French passport , the charge must be clearly proved , and its gravity fully showni before- the expulsion of the accused can , be effected . It will not bs " , as in some cbuatries in Europe , where the simple assertion of a police agent ; is sufficient to cause the immediate expalsion of a . suspected person . A trial will take place in the presence of , the Consul or Gthe ' r agent of t ! ie- cdnntry under whose protection the ¦ accused may bei and after a calm and patieat inquiry only will sentence be pronounced . ;
• ; 'Thus , all arrangements , are ; comiilete for ; thereestabHshmeut of . di ^ iomatic' relations between Turkey , and the allied Imperial Powers . Both . EmperorsVhave agreed , to . the , . termf proposed , by the Porte , and the . arrangement has been approved , of by the representatives of France and England . A town in the interior of Asia has been named for the residence of the Hungarian 'refugees , and
preparations are being made for sending : the . Poles out of the country . . To the ^ surprise of , ail , however , Baron de Titoff and Count de Sturmer have not yet renewed friendly relations , with the Porte . ^—Times . , i The ' . Journal de Constantinople' confirms as follows what ha 3 already been said-relative . to a concession of land made Ky the Sultau to M . de Laniartine : —The Ottoman government ; has just ! made a concession of land to M . de Lamartine , who : wishes
