      FRANCE . A scene took place in the Assembl y on Saturday which recalled some of tbe most tumultuous reminiscences of the constituent . It appears that among the many lotteries which are just now the rage in Paris , there is one called tne L'ingots d'Or from the chief prizes being large ingots of pure gold . The object of this lottery , which is under the direct patronage of the government , is the promotion of emigration to California / and the scheme having been puffed in every direction , tickets enoasjh were sold soon after tbe first promulgation to send out the first batch of emigrants . The shi p was to have safled in November , but no departure

      took place , and owing to the delay the unfortunate emigrants to have been almost reduced to starvation Under these circum stances , M . Pascal Duprat , on Saturday questioned the government as to its connexion with this scheme . M . Barbche , the Minister of the Interior , gave a very equivocating answer , saying government bad merely countenanced and not supported the lottery in question . A very noisy discussion followed , in which M . Denjoy moved that the Assembly pass to the order of the day without expressing any opinion on the 'question , which is equivalent to a vote of confidence in government . This was rejected by a majority of 426 against 192 votes , whereupon M . Baroche declarecf he would resign .

      The whole Assembly was thrown into the utmost confusion , and the majority hurried from their -places , rushed to the bench where M . Baroche was sitting , and protested earnestly and humbly that "there was intended nothing of a hostile character against him in the resolution that had been adopted ; and when the Minister frankly declared his incredulity in those hollow professions , wrung from them by the danger of a retreat , eacn Vipd with ihe other in inventing a remedy for the evil they had committed . It is stated that not less than forty orders of the day , each having for their object to nullify the Effect of the rejection of the order of the day pure et simple , were successively proposed . That of M . Delessert was entirely lost sight of . This undignified hurry to undo their own work was a source of much , amusement to the Mountain , who scoffed and langhad at the terror of tbe majority .

      For nearly half an hour all the members were shouting together in the hope of obtaining a hearing and personalities and abuse were bandied about in the most lavish manner . In the height of the storm , M . Emile de Girardin ascended the tribune , and hating obtained a momentary silence , proposed the following motion : — ' The majority , satisfied , passes to the order of the day . ' This the Assembly thought was an evident snd flagrant outrage on tbe di g nity of the whole Assembly , and that nothing less than the parsonal and immediate immo * laiion ^ of its daring au thor seemed likely to appease the tumult .

      The President s aid that M . de Girardin had deposited his order of tbe day on the table , but that he had refused to accept it , and told him to reflect on its consequences . He persisted , and as it contained an insult to the majority , he would consult lhe Assembly . M . de Girardin said that his order of the day was perfectly serious ; that a similar order of the day was adopted in July , 1 S 47 , and that six months afterwards a revolution took place . ( Loud murmurs , and cries of ' The forged message . ) M . de Girardin , in reply , said that the journal which had published the message had not invented it , and that it was a lona Me a message of the President of the Republic . ( Cries of ' Shame , shame ! ' on the right . )

      The President then consulted the Assembly , and M . de Girardin ' s exclusion during three days , witb censure , was pronounced by a considerable majority . Marti agitation ensued , and M . Emiie de Girardin left the hall . Ultimately the following order of the day motive , proposed by M . Kerdrel , was agreed to by a majoritv of 375 to 292 : — ' The National Assembly , confiding in the solicitude of the government , passes to the order of the . day . ' Thi 3 decision overturns the former one , and concerts the ministerial defeat into a victory , by the cowardice of the majority . The prefects of the departments hare been instructed to watch the proceedings of the foreign refugees .

      The interment of a democrat of the Croix Rousse ( Lyons ) took place on Monday . It was attended by 400 ' brothers and friends / and passed off with the greatest order . There was not the slightest cry in favour of any particular form of government . Otherwise Lyons continued up to yesterday to enjoy the profoundest calm . We extract the following from tbe ' Constitutionnel , which guarantees its authenticity : —* A country lad , named Jean , residing in tbe house of a landed proprietor at Aateuil , was sent abont a week back to Paris on a message . Whilst looking at some prints on the Place de la Bourse , a aian accosted him ,

      praising his tasts for the fine arts , &c . Soon alter he inquired where he resided , which Jean very simply informed bim , and the stranger declared that he was himself going out to Auteuil , and would give him a lift , if he liked , in the hsckney coach which zaii 3 t be taken for the purpose . The servant giadly accepted the offer , and the pair went on very pleasantly until the vehicle arrived at the end of the Rue de Rivoli , when the stranger , unbuttoning his coat , showed a tri-coloured scarf , and declared that be was a palice agent , and that his duly was to arrest the other for being in the midst of a crowd of bad characters on the Place ds la Bourse . Jean was

      exceedingly alarmed , and protested his innocence so strongly that the agent agreed to let him go , provided he paid the amount of the reward to which each police agent was entitled , he said , for arresting a bad character . Jean handed over his watch and whatever money he had about him , and returned Lome . The next day he was sent into Paris to call ' at a painter ' s for a portrait , and was just on the point of returning home , when a stranger accosted him , and stated that he was the fellow-agent of the man who had arrested him , and ought to have had half the reward ; that he must still arrest him , unless he ( Jean ) made it worth his while to refrain . Jean , in great alarm , gave him 20 f . and a breast-pin . Three day ' s after the two agents called on Jean at

      his master ' s , and informed him that all had been - discovered by the prefect of police , and that they wished to fly to avoid punishment . If they did not they would be arrested , and must then in self-defence disclose whom they had taken up . Still , if they bad 200 / . they would prefer going off . Jean hurried over to the baker who supplied the family , and borrowed from him for his master 200 f . This sum he handed to the two mm , who immediately made off . As to himself , totally overcome by so - many emotions , on his return home he fell down in a fit , and on his recovering his senses stated what - occurred . Informations were immediately lodged , but nothing has yet been discovered of the two pretended agents . '

      The publisher of the new Republican journal , ' Le Vote TJuiversel , ' was yesterday tried for an attack on the right of property , contained in two articles published in that journal about a month ago . On the first fee was acquitted , but on the second be was found Guilty , and sentenced to six months' imprisonment and a fine of 6 , 000 f . The ' Con 3 titutionnel' announces that the Minister of the Interior has written a letter to the President of tbe Assembly , suggesting that M . Yon ought to be removed from the situation of Cominis' . sary of Police at the Palace of the Assembly , and . that M . Dupin has merely replied that he ha 3 referred the letter to the qussto ' ra . It is probable that this affair will lead to a fresh skirmish between the : Minister and the Assembly ,

      The Bulletin de Paris' says that , in consequence , of the appearance of M . Mazzini in the neighbour-. hood of Geneva , tbe Swiss Government is determined to expel the chief refugee * . The ' Bulletin - de Paris' is published under the auspices of tbe - Elysee . The following is a specimen of the infer' maiion with which it treats its readers . The * Bulletin ' of to-day says : — 'If we are to believe the correspondence which we receive from Switzerland , the Roman ex-triutnvir has contributed a great deal , by the aid of intelligent agents , in axciiing the religious movement in England against the government of the Hol y Father . He is certainly the bearer of the sum of nearl y a million , which has been paid to him as part pay . nient of the loan which he has succeeded in opeairig in London . "

      i for the ex-minister , Baron Poerio , arid the others lesser periods in ' irons : The court is now occupied jn hearing the deferice i , yeAmustyet wait far the ultimate decision , oi' the ' judges : ' it is generally supposed thaf- 'ribng will be ^ liberateds ; indeed , it would be inconsistent with the ' policy of the government to do so the object being to intimidate and imprison all who are conspicuous for their constitutional opinions . The correspondent of the 'Daily News' says : — - 'It may not be uninteresting to Englishmen at the present moment to learn the views of the Roman church , ' touching popular right ; and as papacy boast 3 of ' uniformity , ' it will be seen in :

      —^—————the following quotation from a series of little books just published by the Jesuits what'are the Roman Catholic views of the constitutional government in general , and their morality as regards' royal oaths . I find the following dialogue in the ' Catechismo Filosofico , ' uuder the heading , Constitution' : '' 'If the people have imposed certain obligations and certain reserve on the sovereign power , shall not such obligations form the constitution and the law of the State ? They shall , if ( he sovereign has accorded them freely , otherwise they are not binding , because the people , who were made to obey , and not to command , cannot impose a law on the sovereign , who does not receive his power from the

      people , but from God . A prince having accepted and sanctioned the constitution , or the fundamental law of the state , and having promised and sworn to observe it , Is . he obliged to maintain bis promise , and respect those laws and that constitution ?—He is obliged to do so if it does not injure his sovereignty , and offend the universal good of the state . Why do you not think a prince is obliged to observe the constitution when even it offends the sovereign power?—We have already agreed that the supreme power of the sovereign comes from God for the good of society ; and this power , accorded and imposed by God , should be maintained inviolate and entire , and cannot he lessened by

      roan without offending the laws of nature and God . although then the people ti&ve imposed an agreement which injures the . sovereignty—and although the prince has promised to observe it—that promise is an absurdity—that promise is not ^ alid , and the prince is not obliged to observe a constitntion which contrasts with the decrees of God ; but he should maintain entire the supreme power imposed on the prince by God . . . . . Where any doubt arises the Jtead of ' the church is by God authorised to annul the oath , and relieve the conscience of a prince , believing the church has just reason for

      doing so . ' Whilst Rome is endeavouring to plant her power in the very heart of Protestant and free England , surely it is well to . let Englishmen know what they might expect from a triumph of papacy , which boldly tells yoifshe has' only one policy and one faith—craft and falsehood when weak—the inquisition and tyranny when strong . It is from quotations such as these , and the events Which are taking p lace in Italy , that the real spirit of papacy can be gathered , and not from the coquetting sentimentality of papacy in England , whose victims are either dupes or hypocrites .

      LOMBARDY . A letter from Milan of the 16 th inst . announces that from the 1 st of January next there are to be no longer any foreign Consuls or Ministers of foreign powers resident in that city . SARDINIA .

      ROME . We regret , says the' Journal de 3 Debats , ' to have to announce new and ' strange" vexations' directed against the Jews of Rome by the pontifical government . A letter which we have this day received , dated Rome , December 12 th , informs us that one of the most respectable members of the Isrealitish community , M . Tagliacozzo , saw on the 5 th his house invaded by tbe agents of police , and was nearly being dragged off to prison as guilty for having received into his house a poor Christian woman , aged fifty , without resource , and whom he had employed to set up the linen of tbe family . M . Tagliacozzo

      only escaped the humiliation and suffering , of the prison by the devotion of bis son ' , who constituted himself prisoner in tbe room of , his father , and has been condemned to a vicarious imprisonment of ten days . On the intervention of the chiefs of the Isrealitish community ( M . Tagliacozza himself it a member of the consistory ) ,, tbeCardin ' al Vicar'has deigned to reduce the duration of the imprisonment endured by the son in place of bis father , and on the 11 th M . Tagliacozzo was Bet at liberty . Such are the facts as they are communicated to us , and which need no long commentary that the public may form a just judgment of their value .

      GERMANY . The rumour of certain secret stipulations , which were eaid to be appended to the Olmutz treaty , recurs again in the 'BreslauerZeitung . ' That paper states that the secret stipulations of that ti eaty carry out tbe leading ideas of theRussian policy in Western Europe , and that one of those secret articles guarantees to the Court of Berlin the diplomatic and other support of Germany and the Northern States against Swiizerland , and eventually against the French Republic , for the purpose of Bgain subjecting the principalitrof Neufchatel to the dominion of the Prussian Crown . ¦

      The late rumours of a league between the smaller States of the north of Germany are again repeated by the ' Niederhsachsische' and ' Kolner Zeitung , ' which state that there can be - no doubt but that preliminary negotiations have taken place between Hanover , Oldenburgh , Bremen , and Schaumburg respecting a joint advocacy of their common interrsts at the Dresden conference and elsewhere . The German journals are filled with the most contradictory conjectures relative to the attitude that will be assumed respectively by Austria and Prussia at the Conferpnces , which were to have opened on tbe 23 rd at Dresden . ' Apartments bad been prepared in the Royal Palace for Prince Schwarzenberg and Baron Manteuffel ; who will attend in person . It is scarcely to be presumed that any decisions will be taken until after the Christmas holidays .

      The correspondent of the 'Daily News ' says' Herr von Manteuffel leaves . Berlin for Dresden on Sunday morning , and it is understood that the conferences are to commence on Monday . Manteuffel will , most probably , remain - some time in Dresden , and , if there appears any probability of his carrying his plans , will remain until the end . It is very wise on the part of the minister , for it sets aside the possibility of other influences interfering in bis absence . The public , or at least the small portion , who think at all on the subject , - look- forward to the aoproaching conferences with anything hut

      hope . Most of them consider that the differences between the respective parties will be so great that all hope of any liberal or time-serving alteration in the constitution of the Bund will , be destroyed , and that the conferences will terminate in the restoration of the Bundestag in its former character . Nobody knows what the exact details of Manteuffel ' s plana are nor what kind of an arrangement was come to at Olmutz between him and Sehwarzenberg , arid therefore it is idle to speculate ; ' but it cannot be denied that experience condemns hope and justifies fear in the minds of all liberal men .

      HESSE CASSEL . A letter from Cassel says : — ' The majority of the judges of Marburg , we learn , have been forced by the rigorous measures adopted against them , to choose between their duty and their means of existence , and have preferred the latter . They have resigned their offices . Thus has the state been robbed again , by these atrocious proceedings at Rothenburg and at Marburg , of fourteen of ' us most faithful and able judges . ' We could have wished that these men had not yielded , hut had removed witb their families to some other place , and stood out to the last , so that Hass anpflug would not have been able to fill their posts witb tools of his own . We now see the moment at hand when the last of our judges true to their oaths and the constitution will be driven from

      our courts ' of justice , and Hassenpnug and bis associates will be empowered to pervert all laws to their own purposes . ' A paragraph under date from Tjiuringia , Dec . 16 , says : —? General Groben has , with his whole ; staff , made a wide circuitous movement in retreat with his whole staff , through Eisenach and Magdeburg , towards Paderhorn . Well-informed persons say that the object of this movemet is to avoid any possible collision with the Bavarian troops who now occupf Hesse nearly up tp its Westphalianbouhdaries . ' From Hanau , ' of the 16 th , we learn that the Elector has conferred decorations on all tbe officers who 7 u « re 5 i 8 . tneir commissions in consequence of tbe Hassenpflug ordinances . ¦

      DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . Information received from Rendsbd ' rg and Kiel , which is worthy of credit , states that measures have been concerted between ; the Stadtholderate and the general now . commanding its forces for a vigorous attack . upon the Danish lines , to be undertaken within the next-week at latest . The Danes are keeping themselves on the alert , and are actively-watching the sundry movements of the Schleswig-Holstein troop * in the lines of opera * tions . i

      On the morning of the 20 th inst . the Danish Jagers surprised one of the most advanced poits at Marienthal , occupied by a company of eight battalions of infantry , who , favoured by a fog , advanced within ten paces of the Holstein troops , and succeeded in killing two of the pickets and taking five prisoners , with a quantity of firearms and accoutrements , which the others were compelled to abandon . . , - Considerable inattention seems ( o be paid by the Holstein army to their outposts . .. , Accounts from Hamburg state that the Danes have thrown a bridge over the Schlei at Cappein , west of Miisunde , which is being 8 trQngly ;< ' en « trenched , ; The works , will be defended ) ty heavy artillery , " so as to make any passage oi ; lhe .

      A . private soldier , who some time since shot an officer on parade in front of the Jines is to be tried by court martial at Rendsburg .. The . victim of this act of revenge was Lieutenant Kbron , son of the Minister of War of'the Stathalterschaft . A deserter has been tried and condemned to death , but the sentence has not yet been confirmed . A 6 trict inquiry is being carried on against the persons charged with insulting General Willisen at the railway station at Neumunster , as he was on his way from Rendsburg to Hamburg after giving up the command of the Holstein army .

      . AUSTRIA . Tbe'Vienna Gazette , 'of the 14 th , contains a memorial , signed by the ministers ) recommending the extension of the government monopoly of to « hacco into Hungary , Transylvania , Croatia , Sclavonia , Servia , and the Banat ; and also a royal decree in which the Emperor gives to this recommendation the force of law . The main ground alleged for this innovation , which follows close upon a similar extension of the salt monopoly , is the necessity of giving unity tff the fiscal ; system of the . empire , It is said that-Austria proposes to insist at the Dresden Conferences upon the admission of all her provinces { Gesammtitaaten ) into the German Bund / ' ¦• : .

      The Minister of the Interior and the Common Council of Vienna have been at loggerheads . According to paragraph , thirty-five : of the Corporate Laws no employes could become members of < the Municipal . Council . M , de Czapka , who , as Burgomaster of Vienna , was obliged in > 1848 to seek safety in flight , ' having been recently elected a Common Councilman , hia brethren refused to admit him on the plea of his being a pensioned . servant of the State . A Cabinet . Council has decided that actual employes , and not pensioners ^ were meant . This is a great triumph for the . retrograde party , as the gentleman in question is an Ultra-Conservative .

      The sentences on the unfortunate members of the 1 Slovanska Lipa' and 'Marcomannfm * clubs , who were arrested at Prague in May 1849 ,. have not yet been published , but it is' said that four are condemaed to death , and the others ' ¦ to tea years' imprisonment . You will probably recollect that the notorious Bakunin was mixed up io this affair , S ( % PORTUGAL . i Much interest has been at last excited by the preparations for the approaching Exhibition in London , and it . seems to . be viewed in Us proper

      lig ht as an opportunity of displaying the progress of industry and art . in Portugal to the rest of the world . Conscious , of their inferiority , in ,, many respects , they still think that it would be more shameful to shrink from a trial than to be considered unequal to other competitors . The committee , recently appointed , has been busily engaged in drawing up reports on tbe subject , arid tbe government will name a deputation , irrespective of political partisanship , to accompany tbe specimens of manufactures and works of art , which nil ! be conveyed at the public expense at the end of March .

      Characters op ihe : English , Irish , and Scotch . —Looking at the population of the three kingdoms , it may easily be perceived that there is a considerable difference amongst them with respect to temperament . The ; Irish are gay , ardent ; the Scotch areicomparatively cool , steady , and cautious ; the English are , perhaps , a fair average between the two . I remember it was not inelegantly observed by u friend of mine , that an Englishman thinks and speaks ; : a Scotchman thinks twice before he speaks ; and an Irishman speaks before he thinks . A lady present added , " A Scotchman thinks with his head ; an Irishman with his heart . " . This allusion to impulse operating more rapidly than deliberation , is akin to Miss Edneworth ' s remarks , that an Irishman

      may err with . his head , never with his heart ; the truth , however , being that he " obeys" his heart , not always waiting-for the dictates of his head . Some yearn ago there was a caricature ; very graphically portraying these grades of difference inthe ardour of the three nations . An Englishman , an Irishman , and a Scotchman were represented as looking through a confectioner ' s ' window at a beautiful young'woman serving in the shop . "Oh !" exclaims Mr : Patrick , '' do let us be after spending 9 , hslf-a-crown with the dear crayture , that wemay look at her convaniently , and hare a bit of chat with * a ^ *« r . - * ¦• T

Andrew ; ' / dinna yc ken it'll serve our purpose' equally weel just to ask the bonnie lassie to gie us twa sixpences for a shilling , and inquire where ' s Mr . Toompson ' s hoose , aud sic like ?
