FRANCE . The news of the departments is remarkable for tie fierce spirit of hostility exhibited in several parts by the populace against the gendarmes , and the frequent conflicts which enweireia attempts to rescue Jsiisonws . E « ery day more discourag ing accounts are received by the government of the state of political feeling in the The
provinces . preparations of the Socialists are ceaseless , and their organisation is very formidable . Large supplies of arms are in their possession ; and the government knows not where to put its hand On the depots notwithstanding the activity of its 'poibce , and is unable even to prevent an immense quantity from being smuggled over different points of the froutier . Lyons always seems on the eve of a movement : a considerable number of
manufacturers and others have left or are leaving it to establish themselves in Switzerland . It is becoming more and more apparent to the bourgeoisie that nothing but the firmest cemented onion of all the fractions of the so-called party of order will enable Praice to come unscathed out of the critical struggle of 1852 . Yet in the midst of all this danger never were the various shades of conservatives divided by deeper dissensions or agitated by bitterer animosities . Mr . Michael , the colonel of the National Guard at Greenoiile , has been dismissed for having , on the 4 ih of May , published an order of the day , in ttfaich he insinuated that the interdiction of " cries under arms by the authorities indicated hostility to the Republic .
In consequence of his dismissal , one hundred and One officers of the National Guard out of one hundred and sixty have resigned . In consequence of the law recently passed , which adjourns all elections , -whether partial or total , of the officers of the National Guard , until the passing of the organic law , it is impossible to replace these officers , who have resigned . Hence the prefect of the Isere , M . Chapuys-tfontiaville , and the dfftary commander * general l ' artonreaux , have been obliged to dissolve the guard . This measure has excited , apparently without reason , the discontent of the democratic party ; and interpellations are expected to-day on the sublet
A homicide , named Moutcharmout , brought out for execution at Cbalon on the lOtb , after a despelite struggle with the executioner , escaped from the scaffold , but was secured by tbe gendarmes , who xeconducled him to prison , refusing to be instrumental in bringing the criminal a second time to the guillotine . An immense sensation was created in the town by this incident . An article by Dr . Veron , the editor of the 4 Constitutional' has been exciting great attention in Paris . It advises the repeal of the electoral law Of May , as the only means of saving the country from the danger threatened by the Republicans . So great has been the effect produced by thia article that the ' Moniteur du Soir * contains an official disavowal on the part of the government of an ; share in its sentiments .
A short article from Dr . Veron has appeared , in which after quoting the disavowal of the ' Moniteox da Soir , ' he says that the note of the official journal will change nothing in the situation or politics of the ' Constitutionnel , ' which will not cease to be the journal of the Ely see , for tbe simple reason that it has never been eo . The accounts from Lyons are more unfavourable than ever . The number of operatives without employment has increased so considerably that the municipal councils of the four communes of Lyons , the Croii Rousse , la Guilloticre , and the Faubourg de Vaisse have been compelled to open a subscrip . tion to keep them from starving . The home
consumption was never sufficient for the manufacturers of Lyons , and their foreign trade , particularly that of tbe United States , failed them completely this year . The cotton trade is not in a more flourishing condition . The manufacturers complain that the fanners having for the last two years been compelled to dispose of their produce at an enormous loss , they and their dependents have not been able to purchase the articles of clothing to which they « rere accustomed . Another cause of the existing distress is , that almost all the orders given by Spanish houses have been counter-manded since the dissolution of the Cortes and the insurrection in Portugal .
The provincial papers stale that petitions continue to be getting np in all parts of the country for the revision of the constitution and the prolongation of tbe powers of the President I announced to yon on Tuesday that Eraile de Girardiu has demanded to interpellate the Minister of the Interior on a telegraphic despatch sent to tbe Latides , regarding the elections . The' Presse' publishes the despatch at the head of its columns , in enormous type . It 13 as follows : — ' the minister of the interior , to the ' prefect of the landes .
1 presence of the manoeuvres which the advanced opposition direct against the law of May 31 , 1850 , you are to declare , and to cause to be declared by the sub-prefects , that , in the opinion of the government , the electors , friends of order , cannot , in consulting the interest of the country , give their votes to any candidate but one who Is very decided to mantain the electoral law of the 31 st of May . * N . B . The party of order supports unanimously General Darrieu , the onl candidate who has declared in favour of maintaining the law of May . '
This despatch is undeniably of immense importance at a moment when the * Constitutionnel' has turned against the law of May . If M . Faucher con . tinuea in the cabinet it seems impossible to attribute to the President an arriere-pensee against the law of May ; yet his private friends affirm that lie is opposed to that law . It is impossible to carry a double-faced policy further . In the munici pal elections of La Guillotiere Lyons , the democratic party has won the day , the councillors chosen being almost exclusively socialists . The national guard of Routlly , Seine-at-Mame , lias been dissolved b y the government , some of the officers having attempted to replant a tree of liberty .
AUSTRIA AND THE DRESDEN CONFERENCES . The Adrian government has lately sent a circular to all the German courts , of which the fallowini ! isasnmmary . The authority for this account of the contents of the circular is the ' Augsburg Gazette : — 'The preamble of the document states that the continuation of the Dresden Coufereacts for a further indefinite period seems useless , and therefore it is necessary that they should close . However , as negotiations are still pending between the cabinets of Berlin and Vienna , on the understanding that Aastria shall admit all her slates into
the confederation , it would be desirable first to come to an agreement on this point , and then to make s . common proposal at Dresden . But shonld the two powers . faa . in i » miagto terms , it is proposed by Austria that a communicatioH should be made to the congress by the plenipotentiaries of Austria and Prussia , to the effect that further negotiations on tte questions debated ia the first commission ( that otfederai re-srganisation ) shall be reserved for the < uet . Several points are , however , withheld from the cognrzance of tbe diet . This communication « hal , be accompsaied b y & declaration that the two « abinets desire to see the other labours of the
eomaussjoa ended ; and if on tfce 15 th of May the consent of all the goranunents -cannot be-obtained , the Diet would ! have to take the final decisions . As regards the labours of the conferences eeucluded up to the 15 th of May with consent of all psrties , they fill be suitnitted to the Diet for formal sanction .

Twenty-four of the German Governments are in anear . with their payments towards the German fleet . Half as many ate in debt to Holstein for the support of confederative troops , or to each other for military services rendered during the last two or three years . The military accounts of the Bund are in total confnsion , and made worse by the extent to which funds not intended for military purposes have been applied to stop the most pressing claims . The case of the fleet is hopeless ; it is quietly rotting in the Weser for the want of everything that
a fleet requires to keep it up ; the superintendence is most defective , and , as in everything else , there is no direct responsibili ty for the state of the ships or crews . The vessels that belong to Prussia exclusively must always be excepted from the descriptions applied to the German fleet ; ' a tenth of the cost and care she has bestowed on her army would have made her a maritime power ; but the eflforts of Xf r-i *? T SlatM t 0 get UP a marine ha « totally failed . It is more than probable that the whole naval force will finall y fall into the hands of the Prussian Government .
HAMBURG . «? £ r * , W een 8 fmt t 0 prisOtt by tbe Aastrian military authorities , on suspicion of havine assaulted M . Marr , and it remains to be seen whether tbe crime will be properly investi gated and the guilty instigator be punished . It is not yet known whether the Austrian authorities themselves discovered the malefactors , or whether they were pointed out to them by the police . The latter prevented a oublic meeting from taking place last week , which waB convened by a democratic club ( des Burgerverein ) , of which M . Marr is a member for the of
, pnrpose taking into consideration how to act under present circumstances . The patient is going on very well , but is still confined to his room ; he complains of pain in his side , though no fracture of ribs appears to have taken place . The rushing of blood from his mouth makes it apprehended that he broke a blood vessel . While the son was so cruelly . used by the Austrians , the father , who was at Berlin at the time , was nearly being expelled from Prussia , because he was taken for the editor of the Mephistophiles . ' That print is not admitted there except by paying full letter postage , which amounts to prohibition .
FRANKFORT . In anticipation of the ' meeting of the Diet on the 22 nd inst ., the garrison of Frankfort is to be increased from 5 , 000 to 15 , 000 men , at once . This corps will form the nucleus of a force which is destined to reach the number of 150 , 000 men , destined ) according to the latest arrangements , to be kept at the disposal of the Diet .
ROMAN STATES . It is stated that the Austrian commandant of Forli had caused a young boy to be flogged to death for accidentally killing his dog with a stone . Count Nobili , the Austrian governor of Bologna , had issued a notice on the 27 th ult . menacing with the " DBS ' tinado all who were caught in preventing the inhabitants from smoking , and stating that all such offences , having a political aim , are liable to be punished by court-martial . On the 26 th ult . four peasants were shot at For-Hmpopoii for having given shelter to ' part " of" the Passatore ' a band .
SPAIN . : General Espariero upon being called upon to be President of the general committee for the progresista elections , gave his consent in a letter in which he professed himself to be as liberal in politics as ever . This letter roused m » ny of the liberal > arty from the apathy in which years of oppression had sunk them , and ( especially in Saragoza , where his name is a tower of strength ) caused them to come forward in numbers that did not fail to excite the fears of the government . Since that time the democratic party deli ghted at having a popular name to make use of in their noisy meetings , have gone far to make the country believe that the veteran general was to be their future leader in the strife which they flatter themselves will one dav
come . Espartero , who is heartily tired of Spanish politics , and has no notion of giving up his country life for the uncertainties of which he has had ao much bitter experience , has sent another letter to his friend Becerra , the chairman of the Progresista Election Committee , indignantly disclaiming all participation with the ultra-democratic party , and forbiddiug his friends from using their influence to cause any ultra-democrats to be elected . His letter ends as follows :- * My banner has bnt one device , authority and splendour of the throne of Isabella II ., and happiness and freedom of the people . ' Tbe Progresista party has become divided again ; the democrats refuse to support the moderate Liberab in the elections , and these , in many places where they thaught to ' make a show of numerical Btrenmb , wilt not go to the poll .
The elections continue to occupy the public mind . The Progresista party , which bnt a few days ago seemed so united , is now wasting its strength in recriminations , while the Narvaez party endeavour to excite the fears of the nation b y exaggerating the strength and resources of the democratics , who , sooth to say , give proofs of more vitality than was suspected . The lookers out for place are speculating as to who is to fill the office of Minister of Foreign Affairs , a pest which is to remain vacant till after be elections .
Madrid , Mat 8 . —What is called a copy of the Concordat recentl y settled with the Court of Rome has made its appearance in the Clamor Publico . ' The number of bishops is reduced by four ; tbe education o £ the country is placed under church control ; the introduction into Spain , or reprinting , of such books as they may not approvenamely , all those calculated to enli ghten or instruct the people-is left to the clergy . Wo other than the Roman Catholic religion is to be tolerated . The re-establishment of the monastic orders of San VincentedePaul , San Felipe Neri , and one other of those sanctioned by the Pope , is provided for , so that there will be a return to the old times of
unparalleled immorality . The property belonging to the convents of nuns now in existai . ee is to be sold in exchange for thtee per cent . Perpetual Inscriptions , but the government admits and guarantees the right which the church has to acquire property , no matter by what means , provided they conform to those formerl y in practice . The annual income of the archbishops is to vary , according to the different provinces , from £ 1 , 200 to £ 1 , 500 ; that of tue _ hishopsfrom £ 700 to £ 1 , 000 , independent of their fees , which are very high-such of these as may happen to be cardinals are to have £ 200 more per annum , with the understanding that these sums are to be increasedassoon as . possible . No clergyman is to hold n . ore than one living or one church apptiintmenl j which is very proper . The whole of
the uusold church property , returned to the clergy in virtue of the Royal decree of April 3 , 1 S 45 , is to be hereafter considered as legally belonging to it . A tax is to -be- levied on the produce of the land , to be collected by the clergy itself , as was the case formerly with respect to the tythes , to provide for whatever may be wanted to make up the required sum . Here we have a return to the tythe system , for the abolition of which the Spanish Li berals fought againBt Don Carlos . The Pope , after obtaining all these and many other boohs , gene , rously condescends to ' approve the sales of church lands previousl y made b y government , so that the purchaser may now sleep in quietness , having his Holiness s permission to consider as his own that which was bought according to the law of the land . ^
If such turn ont to be the stipulations in the Concordat , Spam will recede to the wretched clerical preponderance of 1800 . - Though but it ' the eleventh hour the public functionaries in the provinces have thrown off the mask and adopted all sorts of illegalities in order to secure the triumph cf the government candidates at the elections which will take place after to-morrow . Threats of erery descri ption are tsade use of towards
the electors in small towns , vUlages , and rural parishes . The electoral colleges are suddenly removed from theiowns where they were formerl y held to others at a most inconvenient distance for the voters , in order iliat such as are not wealthy mar abstain from attending on account of the heavy expense they would lie put to . This system does not promise , well , and if not immediatel y discontinued will take away the prestige which the Ministry had acquired by its promises of legality find .
! economics . PORTUGAL . The news , hy way of Madrid , is of the 3 rd of May from Lisbon . An aide-de-camp of Saldanha bad aimed in Lisbon with the following list of ministers proposed by the marshal to the Queen—President of Council , Saldanha ; Interior , Passoz ; Ftnancfs , T .

throne at fourteen , it j 8 not considered that feia youth would be an objection . Advices from Lisbon state that Saldanha was expected there from Oporto , at the head of 5 , 000 troops . On the 12 th inrt ., although nominated President by the Queen , he declared that he will not accept of it until he is in Lisbon . He issues all documents in the name of the Queen . There is every apprehension that the Queen will be obliged to abdicate , and that a republic will be proclaimed . French influence is powerfully at work . The British minister is active , and is striving to form an English party . Two men-of-viar have been sent by the British Admiral to Oporto , with urgent despatches for Saldanha . All the troops are gone over to him . It is expected that he will be received with open arms at Lisbon .
TURKEY . Several prisoners , among whom were forty Samians compromised in the late insurrection , have been released according to the custom at tbe festival of Ea 3 ter , in compliance with the application o { tbe patriarchs of the Christian profession of religion . Omer Pacha had defeated the rebel chiefs Bosnia , Ali Keditch and Cadi Kapitcb , near Klatcb ) with great slaughter . Among the prisoners were several Austrain officers . One hundred and twenty Greek families hare abandoned their hearths to take refuge on tbe Ottoman territory . They have been bespit ably received
by the Turkish authorities and their wants attended to . They are at present encamped in the environs of Latisaa until the negotiations entered into between the Greek ambassador and the Porte are arranged . Such events often occur , but seldom to a similar extent . In the meanwhile Sami Pasha , the Inspector General of Roumelia , has made certain concessions to the refugees which the Greek ambassador has refused to acknowledge , and he has even protested against the unwarranted conduct of the Porte . This question , though unimportant at present , may , if the Porte encourages emigration to its territory , turn out serious for the Mure good understanding between the two governments . .
• . .: \ . PERSIA . Since the succession of Shah Nasretdin Khan to the throne of Persia , the state of affairs in this country has been cleverly conducted . The present Prime Minister , Mehmet , Ali Khan , notwithstanding his apathy , is a clever and well-meaning man , and docs his best to ' forward the condition of the peeple , by-ameliorating the mode of adrainistration , which , unfortunately , is very vexatious . In order to redress the wrongs and superintend the * xecution of the new nizam ( or constitution , ) he has : encouraged the Shah to make a devir ( or round ) in his states , and the youthful Sovereign , a few days since , accompanied by the * diplomatic corps , and by an innumerable host of retainers , proceeded towards the south of Persia " . He will
first risit Ispahan—subsequently he will go to Shiraz , Hamadan , and other noted cities . Dunns his absence the reins of ; the state will be invested in the Emir Nizam . The Divan here proposes shortly to change the whole administration of the provinces , and humble the present governors , who have grown too rich and too powerful to be ranked among the loyal subjects of Persia . ] t is intended to replace them by Mutesselims , who will be controlled by a local council , composed of the Ayans ( or chief men of the place . ) > The Persian government has also encouraged the introduction of a weekly newspaper in the Persian language . It is the first periodical ever published in this empire .
General Lings , of her Britannic Majesty ' s service , died on the 20 th of last month . He was inspector general of the Persian army , arid fora great number of years resident ia this country . His demise has been universally regretted . :
AMERICA . The Royal mail steamer America , Captain Shannon , arrived at Liverpool on Monday morning , at half-past five , with th « usual mails from the . United States , Canada , &c , 111 passengers , and £ 26 , 000 ; in specie . ' ¦ ¦ ' The United States marshal , on the 23 rd ult . received intelli gence that a vessel had been chartered by certain individuals inlerestid in the invRsion of Cuba , and secretl y fitted out with implements of war , and taken down the bay , where she was anchored , awaiting the arrival Of several hundred men . The marshal had the steamer Jacob Bell chartered , and kept in readiness at Pier No . 1 . North
River . In the meantime he called upon the chief of police to furnish a force of his men to aid and assist the United States authorities . ^ All arrangements being consummated , they boatdeA ' the steamer Jacob Bell , which steamed towards Governor ' s Island , but turned up the East River , and went alongside of an United States revenue cutter , which was made fast , and sailed down the bay , in search of the craft suspected . The marshal and his force remained down the bay until Thursday morning , to watch the vessel and such persons as were expected to be conveyed to the craft " at different hours of the night . The suspected craft , however , was a steamboat , whicb / auring all , thissearchwas lying
, , quietly at her pier , foot of North Moore-street . She it a large boat , about fourteen years old , and was employed as a Sound boat , to . which she . proved herself well adapted . She had a large quantity of coal on hoard , occupying the foreward cabin and hold , boiler rooms , and a quantity piled : on the foreward deck . She had also on board a great number of large empty casks , the whole capable of containing probably some 7 , 000 gallons of water . She was alleged to be bound to Galveston , Texas . There were some sugar boxes , &c , on board , such as fire-arms are usually packed in , but on examining them they were found to contain hams and other articles . No fire-arms or munitions of war . were
found on board . Application was made to the Navy Yard during Saturday for srime marines to take charge of the Cleopatra , which was granted and they now have her in custody . . Mr . C . Racklewiiz , a young man , a native of Poland , one of the Deputy Marshals , went , to South Amboyon the same day , where it was said some Germans and otheta had assembled with a view to embark in a Cuban expedition ; disguised himself as an emi grant , and conversing in German with some of the parties , obtained information which induced him to get five of the parties to come with him to this city .
Affidavits were prepared , charging William T . Rogers . iuu ., JobhL . 0 'Sullivan , Capt . Lewis , formerly of the » team-boat Creole , engaged in the former expedition ( charged with being , in fact , captain of the Cleopatra ) , Major Louis Schlesinger , one of the Hungarian patriots , Pedro Sanches , a Spaniard , and Dr .

At our last dates from Havana the most intense excitement prevailed wi th regard to another invasion , and so confidently , vtas it expected that the troops wre ordered to sleep , on their arms , and be ready . for marching at , a moment ' s warning ; The vessels of war in port have been ordered to be ready tor action .
