FRANCE . Park , Mokday . —It is of importance to understand clearly the nature of the resolution adopted by the legitimist party an Saturday ni ght last . The xaotion carried in the Rue de Rivolt was that the Assembly should be invited to express a wish for the total revision of the constitution ; total revision admitting , according to the legitimists , the restoration of tire traditional monarchy . The question as to the date of the meeting of the new Constituent has beea reserved for another meeting . In the meantime the legitimists Lave determined to organise , all over France , a vast petitionary
movement ? and , ra order that there may be no ambiguity about the drift of the signers , the petitioners are directed to pray the Legislative Assembly not only to take into discussion the total revision , but to express the wish that the fu ture Constituent may proclaim the return of France to the traditional principle of the hereditary monarchy . Thus there will be no danger of confounding tfee legitimist petitions with those of the Bonapartist or Orleanist parties . This vote has once for all settled the long agitated question whether any fraction of the legitimists would espouse the prolongation of the President ' s powers . The whole
party has taken a formal engagement to work might and main together for the restoration of the legitimate monarchy in 1852 . This is equivalent to a declaration of war against the present executive power , which is resolved not to abdicate until forced by some irresistible expression of the national will . The Orleanists are greatly chagrined by this uncompromising resolution of the legitimists as they regard it not only as a dangerous provocation to Louis Napoleon , but as a premature propaganda for the elder monarchy , which tends to drive tbe Orleans country party , lorseU-presemt \ on , to the banner of the President .
The members of the Left have also made known their determination . They held a meeting , and to remove from it all character of any particular shade Of opposition , the oldest member present , General Leydel , was called to the chair , M . Yeraigny acting as secretary . The discussion lasted nearly two lours , and in the end the following resolution was adopted : — 'The members of tbe Republican democratic opposition , assembled together , declare that in presence of the law of May 31 , which suppresses three millions of electors and substitutes a
restricted suffrage for universal suffrage ; in presence of the acts which have curtailed the rights aud liberties of the people—considering that all the projects of revision which have been brought forward are evidently intended not to ameliorate the constitution , but to endanger the Republic—considering all this , the said members declare that they are unauisnously of opinion that every project of revision ought to be opposed . ' The meeting separated with tbe anderslandim ; that they were to assemble again in a fortni ght .
The central committee of the Electoral Union held a meeting on Monday last to deliberate on the part which the union ought to take in the petitionjnent for revision . It was shown from the reports of the district committees that the latter had unanimously admitted tbe indispensable necessity of revision , and expressed by a large majority the wis'i to $ ee the Electoral Union present a petition to the Assembly . In compliance with this wish tiie central committee decided , by a majority of 170 votes against two or three , that the Electoral Union should circulate for signature a petition for the revision of the constitution . As to the question whether the ^ Electoral Union should adopt the form of petition Circulated by the Bonapartist committee of tbe Rue Ueove St . Augustin , this will be decided by the com . mittee appointed to draw up the petition .
Every silting of tbe Assembly now opens with the presentation of a mass of petitions for revision . This preliminary form having been gone through , the Assembly on Tuesday last proceeded to discuss tbe interpellations of M . Esqulros on the treatment of the prisoners at Bell Isle . A series of unnecessary hardships and privations had been imposed upon men who were not common criminals , but stood essentially in need of intellectual occupation , from which they -were debarred , uoolis and writing mateiuls having been refused them , and latterly even the tables which served some of the prisoners for writing upon having been taken away , on the
plea that the planks belong to the administration . In consequence of their remonstrances against this monstrons oppression , thirty of the prisoners , among TVhom was Barbes , had been consigned to dungeons , put upon bread and water , and obliged to sleep upon old straw , which had been long lying in the casemates . Having enumerated the privations as to diet , and other cruel severities , to which the prisoners were subjected , M . Esqu : ros moved the appointment of a commission of three members ( he tad no objection to them all being selected from the majority ) in order to proceed to an inquiry upon the spot .
M . Leon Fancher maintained that the harsh treatment to which the prisoners had been subjected Iiad been called down by their violent , menacing , and insubordinate behaviour . M . Benjamin Raspail traced the rigonrs complained of to the personal character of the director of the prison at Belle Isle , who had excited the came complaints at Hagnenau and Vannes , where he lad held the same functions . Amid loud cries of ' Question , M . Raspail proceeded to show how at Vannes this director had caused a woman to be tortured . The president , having taken the sense of the Assembly , prohibited M . Raspail from speaking farther . M . Leon Faucher replied from bis place , that the director ' s character had been cleared by a commissioner of . the . provisional government .
M . Scboelcher complained of the restrictions im . posed upon prisoners in their communications with tbeir friends and families . The prisoners were not allowed to be visited by their wives . The Assembly , on being consulted , passed , by a majority of 428 against 218 , ( o the pure and simple order of the day . The commission on the proposition for establishing a special police at L yons have declared themselves in favour of the measure with only one dis . sentient .
BELGIUM . Our advices from Brussels are of tbe 18 th inst . The government had been defeated on the financial measures brought before the Chamber . The Ministers had , consequently , presented their resignation to the King on the evening of the 17 ih . The Belgian government bas been defeated on the proposed new law of inheritance , and the Ministry bas resi gned . Every endeavour to effect a new Ministerial combination has been fruitless . It was asserted that the late Ministers would all resume their portfolios .
GERMANY : TFe are In recei pt of German journals of the 18 tb instant . On the 17 th the Dresden conferences jrere closed in a full sitting , at which , M . de Manteuffel and Prince Schwarzenberg were present . It appears that the central federal commission continues to rariae its powers , and it is not yet known when it will be dissolved . Prince Schwarzenberg has addressed a note to the free city of Bremen , calling for the immediate suppression of the daily « Chronicle of Bremen / or otherwise he will send a thousand troops to Occupy the town . The Emperor of Russia arrived at "Warsaw on the 13 th inst ., where he was joined on the following day by the Empress .
Advices from Hamburg state that the Austrians are terribl y afraid of the democratic club 3 and publications . Every meeting advertised by a club of that denomination has been prevented , on their instigation , by the police ; nevertheless , their guards and patrols are increased , and til the sol-£ 2 . !«?

has not transpired what the results of that examina- , tion were . m AUSTRIA . We ate infomed that it was stated at Vienna on the ISth inst ., that the plans brought forward at Dresden would serve as the basis for the proposed revision of the Act of Confederation . The Emperors of Russia and Austria and the King of Prussia were to meet at Cracow , and proceed together to Olmutz . The Governments of Austria and Prussia were stilt at variance with Denmark on the Holstein question . There wasa dangerous flood at Vienna . All the bridges but one had been carried away .
SPAIN . Tbe Madrid journals of the 15 th inst , announce the defeat by a Progresista , of M . Bravo Murillo , president of the council , in the election at Barcelona . The Count of San Luiseo , Minister of the Interior , having been prevented by order of the government , from personally canvassing all the electors in his district ( Cuenca ) has not gained bis election . The measures be formerly employed against his political enemies have been turned against himself . There will be , however , an effective opposition of about eighty in number , among whom are reckoned Olozaga , Cortini , Escosura , Asquerino , and Pidal . It is confidently asserted that mauy of the
minister ' s best supporters conte mplate tbe desertion of his standard , on account of the concordat , that measure by which the government has thrown some of the most important of the royal prerogatives at the feet of the Pope . Even many of the Carlist party are indi gnant at the humiliation of the nation ! Beside 3 the moral , religious , and political preponderance which , the Papal court bas been-enabled to obtain , the cunning Italian has converted the country into a California out of which he hopes to extract the precious metals almost without the trouble of digging . Take , for instance , the sums which the Pope ' s nuncio is entitled to . That reverend gentleman receives 100 , 000 reals a year as president of
the ecclesiastical tribunal of the Rota , a tribunal which has to judge of ecclesiastical affairs , which belong many of them to international law . Besides his regular pay , he has an immense number of perquisites . Whenever any of the suppressed order of monks wishes to obtain permission to offer himself as a candidate for a curacy , he must pay the Pope ' s nuncio three dollars . His boliness ' s representative has in this manner extracted 40 , 000 dolU . from the pockets of the most miserable part of the Spanish clergy . There are dispensations and indulgences , at the rate of 60 , 000 reals , without
mentioning those which belong to the general agency office of indulgences for marriages , &c , of which there are no less than 477 degrees , varying in grice from 2 , 000 to 44 . 000 reals , and for which the Spanish nation pays twelve millions a year . It appeare , alse , that the abolition of the commissionership of the crusade , was , in a great measure , owing to manoeuvres of the Pope ' s nuncio , into whose hands a great deal of tbe lucrative business of that department will now fall . In fine , the clergy costs no less than 308 millions , including the sum of 190 millions of reals set down in the
estimates , twenty-eight millions of reals for indulgences ! and ninety millions for miscellaneous articles of clerical providing .
PORTUGAL . According to news up to the 16 th inst . Saldanha was still at Oporto , and was daily less able to control the revolutionary movement , which would be satisfied with nothing less than the abdication of the Queen . In the meantime the absence of a settled authority was a source of universal alarm . Saldanha had not yet succeeded in forming a ministry . The foreign representatives had , as yet , abstained from alt demonstration : hut the fear of anarch y promoted a tendency to reaction .
Our Overland advices from Lisbon are of the 12 th inst . Numerous bands were collected on the road from Oporto under pretext of making Saldanha pronunciamientos . The Duke would , however , avoid them by travelling by sea , and bad chartered two steamers to convey him and his troops to Lisbon . Lisbon was tranquil , and the Queen appeared disposed to meet Saldanba ' s views in the formation of a ministry . The Count de Thoinar , as soon as he found things vere going against the Portuguese Court , aud that the triumph of Saldanha was complete resolved on flying from Spain to England . He accordingly took his passage in the mail-packet 'Iberia , ' which arrived at Southampton on
Tuesday . He came home as a second-class passenger , and shame and dejection prevented him from mixing with the passengers during the voyage . Assoonasthe 'Iberia' arrived at Southampton dock , the Count came on deck for the first time . He remained but a short time in Southampton ere he started for London . After first proceeding to his hotel , he walked from thence to the dock to look after his baggage . lie leant against the Custom-house door unconcernedly until he could obtain it . He was dressed meanly , and sad and
appeared careworn . Nothing in his countenance betrayed the talent wbich . ho undoubtedly possesses ; nor would any one imagine that he had been an ob ject of such celebrity and obloquy in Europe , nor that he had fallen from the very pinnacle of power and greatness into the depths of poverty and disgrace . Captain Bowen , of the Peninsular mail-packet , Montrose , ' who was known to the Count , waited on him to render any assistance in the Custom-house ; and the Customhouse authorities treated him with that respect which sympathy for his fallen fortunes naturally
excited
ITALY . c La Croce di Savoia * of the 15 th instant contains the following : — We are assured that a concoidat has just been concluded between the Pope and the Sardinian government . The concession on the part of Sardinia will be the unconditional restoration of vhe Arehbisnops Pranzoni and Marengia to their respective dioceses , and the arrival of a Nuncio at Turin . It is not known whether he will be invested with lus former powers . The end and consequence of these arrangements will be a political league between Rome , Naples , Piedmont * and Tuscanv , in order to effect the evacuation of the Pontifical Mates by the forei gn troops , French as well as Austrian .
PIEDMOHT . In itssitting of the loth , tbe Chamber of Denuties of Turin passed the ministerial bill for imposing a tnx upon mortmain property and corporate bodies , by ninety-seven votes to twenty-seven . A Senate approved the first fourteen articles of the bill on the discipline of judicial functionaries and their permanence in office im ™ # «? lS i % k ' , t .

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . Letters from Hamburg of the 18 th , state that the Assembly of Notables held their first meeting on the 1 / th . Count Bille Brahe addressed the Assembly , and alluded to tbe conciliatory feelings of the Danish government as evidenced in the amnesty . A draft of a joint constitution for the duchies in union with the Danish monarch y was then placed before the Assembly . Another meeting was to be held on the following Monday .
EGYPT . The viceroy continues his residence at Cairo where he lives ma most unostentatious and quiet manner . He has been very anxious for a final arrangement of the vexed question still pending with Constantinople , and has sent a modified proposal bv theUooktah Bey on the 1 st inst . As hfa ptai have met the sanciion of the English and other coind . generally , it is to be hoped they willac ce ! erate , , ftheydo not effect a settlement of the ditnculty . .
The country is perfectly tranquil , and continues to give evidences of the progress of material prospent ? . The government for the first time dorine the history of the present d ynasty , is free from debt . Strict economy is practised in all the public departments , and it may be added they were never before more free from official dishonesty and corruption . The reports circulated in some of the papers , that the P « cha has been vigorously employed in warlike preparations , are exaggerated . They ori ginated , doubtless , in the circumstance of the recenUimited conscription for the land forces 4 o recruit their effective strength , which had been reduced by invaliding and other causes . There has been no extraordinary augmentation of nomben .

forts of the European occupants , who , of course are most able and most willing to pay for them . The returns of British and foreign shipping for the three first months of 1851 show a material falling-off in the number and tonnage of British shipping , and an astounding increase in that of other foreign flags—particularly those of northern Europe —nearly the whole number of which have been loaded for Englwh ports and for English account . There are at present only 144 vessels hearing foreign fligs in harbour—twenty-six of which are English , twenty-three Austrian , twenty . four French , and thirty-six of Baltic potts . The total number of arrivals for the period named of British vessels being seventy against 159 during the same period , in 1847 .
TURKEY . The negotiations between the Porte and the Austrian government , respecting the refugees located at Kuteya , have been brought to a close , and the amnesty granted in their favour by the Emperor lias finally been announced to the interested party , This amnesty , however , excludes six of the meat prominent characters , and Kossuth , Bathiany , Patzcel , and Metzaros , as a matter of course , ate among that number . The first secretary of the Austrian mission , in company of a certain individual of questionable character , named Zazmagi , has set off for that city in order to communicate the fact . Several of the
refugees have , however , declared their intention of continuing their residence in Kuteya , in order to be near their admired chief Kossuth . Such as have accepted their amnesty are , according to the convention drawn up with the Porte , at once to embark lor England or America . This concession to Austria is considered by most as a violation of the ri ghts of that hospitality which was so generously granted by the Sultan in more perilous times . The port WOUlil not have closed this negotiation had it not been perplexed by TOtaerous wei ghty matters . The most prominent of all is the financial difficulties that have sprung from the unsuitability of the present system
Of taxation . There is , besides , a general discontent of the Rayah population in many parts of the country , not against the government , but against their own primates , who sacrifice the lower classes , forming the mass of their respective nations , to favour themselves and their equals—the state of Bagdad , which demands immediate attention—the attitude of Abbas Pacha , whose actions are at variance with his fine professions—the worrying demands made upon them , in all possible shapes , by Russia , who , meddling with everything , tries to retain the Porte in leading-strings ; these and other things keep the Porte in constant work , aud no sooner w one Bubject dispatched than others replace it .
INDIA . "We have news from India up to the 17 th ult . The Governor-General left Pesbawur on the 18 ih of March , and was to have crossed the Indus on the 21 st , but was detained till the 25 th ' by the bridge of boats at Attoek having beencarriedaway by a sudden rise of the river . Lord Dalhousie will return to Calcutta during the ensuing monsoon , and it is generally believed tbat he will shortly after leave , India , and that the Marquis of Normanb y will be his successor .
Robberies are still of nightly occurrence at Peshawur , but several of the thieves have been caught , and eignt or ten of them were gibbeted by order of the Governor-General during his short stay at the station . Several others are in custody , and likely to share the same fate . A ressaldar of the 1 st Punjab Cavalry has been killed in the pass on his way from Kohati Letters from Peahawur Bta ' . e that a force of 2 , 000 men is about to be marched into the AffreedeeY country to destroy their crops and cultivation , but this report wants
confirmation . An extra issue of the ' Dereea-ee-Noor , ' published at Peshawur on the 3 lst of March , announces that the Ameer of Cabul , having passed the Hindoo-Koh and invaded Bokhara , had attacked the Walee of Balkh , and besifged his town , after beating him in the field . During the siege two sons of the Walee fell into the hands of Dost Mohammed , who is said to have put them to death , shortly after which Balkh surrendered . The Ameer ' s brother , Sultan Mohammed , was encamped at Alee Musjid .
The Deejerat frontier still continues in a disturbed state ; the hill tribes are collected at the mouths of various passes , watching an opportunity for a foray , but the arrangements for their recep . tion are so effective that they have not as yet ventured a descent , it is expected that they will shortly disperse ; for , as they cannot carry provisions for any length of time , to keep them at bay is sufficient to insure their defeat .
Frauds to the extent of jG 3 , 500 are said to have been discovered in the Bengal Military Orphan Fund . The kingdom of Oude is at present in a state of anarchy , little inferior to that usually prevailing in the Nizam ' s dominions . In the latter the Nizam still continues his own Minister , with the intention , it is presumed , of making out of the revenues a private purse for himself in case of his beins deposed . Suraj-ool-Moolk is intriguing for the Ministry , apparentl y witu some chance ol
success . There is an unusual amount of public works going on at Bombay , The railway works are progressing favourably . A breakwa ter is being constructed in connexion with the dockyard . Tanks and vrells are being sunk in all directions , and between 3 , 000 and 4 , 000 workmen are employed by the Board of Conservancy in carrying out municipal improvements .
CHINA . Our advices from China are dated Hong Kone , March 30 th . ChuyApoo , the imputed murderer of Captain Da Costa and Lieutenant Dwyer , in February , 1849 , was tried on the 10 th of March , ' Bhen the jury re . turned a verdict of manslaughter , and he was sentenced by the judge to transportation for life . On the niRht- of the 27 th , however , he succeeded in strangling himself .
The Governor-General of Manilla had left that settlement , with a force of about 5 , 000 men , for the Sooloo Islands in the Eastern ' Archipelago , for the purpose of destroying the pirates who infested those parts . Accounts from Manilla state tbat , on the 28 th of January , an attack had been made hy the GBvernor-Geneial on the forts at Sooloo , which resulted in their capture , together with 140 pieces of artillery and other munitions of war . The Sultan and many of the inhabitants had fled to the interior . The loss on their side is not stated ; . that of the attacking force was about 120 killed and wounded . Tbe defences of the island have been demolished , and the surrounding country laid waste . It is reported that the S panish authorities do not intend to keep possession of the island .
VAN DIEMEN ' S LAND . By a recent arrival from Hobart Town we learn that an important meeting had taken place at Port Phillip of the various delegates appointed by the public meetings held at the several Australian colonies for the purpose of adopting measures to prevent the further introduction of convict labour into those settlements . At the above meeting of delegates it was unanimously resolved that resolutions be drawn up by which the colonists pledge themselves to employ no convict labour after the present time , nor to hold any communication or have dealings with anv who shall employ such labour . It was also resolved tbat a sum of £ 20 , 000 be raised by public bubscrip . tion to carry out the object of the meeting . Before separating the delegates drew up an appeal to the people of England , calling upon them to co-operate with them in their anti-convict aviation .
Melbourne journals have been received to the beginning of February . A colonist named Kentish had discovered a new motive power . The editor of the -Port Phillip Gazette , ' Mr . W . Kerr , writes that he has possessed himself of Mr . K . ' s plan , applicable to the propulsion of ships , &c , and expresses himself perfectly satisfied of its easy and economical anplication . He says , « It will very speedil y supereede both steam and sails ; indeed-so simple and ' so palpable is the principle on which it is based , that the wonder w how it could so long have been overlooked .

tbat port upwards of one hundred cats . They cost at the port of embarcation about fifty cents per head , and sold at San Francisco for ten dollars to twenty dollars each . By the Georg ia we have advices from Havannah to the 1 st inBt . The greatest excitement existed in relation to the news of the expected invas OB ; many persons bad been imprisoned on suspicion , and among them three priests for preaching seditious sermons . One person said to have been sent over by Lopez to obtain pilots for the expedition , bad been execu ted after undergoing the torture . The Cap tain-Geueral was taking every precaution against an invasion ; lookouts were stationed along the coast , and vessels of war were kept cruising between San Antonio and Havannah . One of these vessels , the Cuba , had got ashore on the
Colorados . "We have advices from Toronto to the 2 nd inst . The intention of the Home Government to reduce official salaries had been received with satisfaction . Tbe Salaries of the Chief Justice and the Judges were to be reduced to £ 900 and £ 800 , and of the heads of departments to £ 800 each per annum ! the salary of the Governor-General is to be borne by the Imperial Treasury , but , on the other hand , the colony is to sustain the cost of the troops deemed necessaryand also of the Rideau Canal . By the American mail steamer Pacific , we have three days ' later news . The Pacific left New York on the 10 th inst .. at noon , and bas brought the large number of 230 passengers and 365 , 000 dolls ,, or over £ 75 , 000 sterling , in specie . Tbe news , however , is not important .
It is confidently slated that the Cuban expedition is again abandoned , and a large number of men who had collected at Jacksonville , in Florida , had dispersed , and were reluming to tbeir homes . Gonziles , who it will be remembered , was one of the leaders in the first expedition , was reported by tele graph to have been arrested at Florida , which may in part account for the expedition : being given up without even embarking ,
Tbe trial of Mr . Forrest for a violent assault upon Mr . N . P . Willis commenced in the Superior Court of the State of New York , on the 8 th inst ., before Chiet Justice Oakley , and was proceeding at the date of this departure . The assault was not denied , but was justified by Mr . Forrest ' s council ia consequence of Mr . Willis ' s conduct towards Mr . Forrest ' s wife , and in the unhappy differences that exiatetl between Mr . Forrest and his lady . It was expected that the jury would return a verdict with small damages .
_ The intelligence of the disposition of South Carolina to secede from the Union is attracting attention . The reports from the Convention at Charleston assure us that that body is determined to resort to secession . The accounts of the cotton crop which at this season are always very interesting , seem to be un . favourable . A severe frost bad prevailed throughout Georgia in the first week in May , and great damage to the young plants ia reported to have ensued in consequence . The Southern Rights Convention assembled at Charleston , and , to which much importance appears to be attached , had decided upon the following resolutions : —
' That m the opinion of this meeting , the State of South Carolina cannot submit to the wrongs and aggressions which have been perpetrated by the Federal government and the Northern States , without dishonour and ruin , and that it is necessary to relieve herself therefrom , with or without the cooperation of other Southern Slates . 1 That concert of action , with one or more of our sisters of the South , whether through the proposed Southern Congress , or in any other manner , is an object worth many sacrifices , but not the sacrifice involved in submission . 'That we hold the right of secession to be essential to the sovereignty and freedom of . the States of this confederacy , and that the denial of the right would furnish to an injured State the strongest additional cause for its ' exercise .
'That this meeting looks with confidence and hope to the convention of the people , to exert the sovereign power of the State in defence of its ri ghts at the earliest practicable period , and in the most effectual manner , and to the Legislature to adopt the most speedy and effectual measures towards the same end .

The' Epoca' quotes a letter , from Seville , announcing that a frightful catastro phe had occurred in the garden of the Duke of Montpensier , at Alcala del Rio . The Prince had caused a steam engine to be placed in it for its irrigation , and the 10 th inst , was fixed for its trial . His Royal Highness could not assist at the operation as he intended , having been obliged to repair on that day to Villamaurique . As the boiler to be used for the experiment was not
uew , it was agreed that it should be slowly heated , but , either from neglect or imprudence on the part of the engineer , tbe boiler exploded , and overthrew the building , burying under its ruins sixty or seventy lersons present at the experiment as operatives or mere spectators . M . Latour , as secretary of the commands of the Duke , on hearing of the accident , immediately repaired to the spot , accompanied by the physician in attendance at the Palace . On their arrival eight dead bodies arid sixteen wounded had been removed from under the rubbish .
