FRANCE . Pasts , Friday . —M . Baroclie has declared digtinctlv in the Chjftnher tbat the law of the 31 st May is thabanner of the ministry . This is the event of the day . OnFriday in the Assembly M . de Dampierre brought up his repor t on the election of General Burma for the Landea , the presentation of which was to ' be the signal fer the interpellations respecting the famous telegraphic despatch of M . Faucher . M . Damp-erre declared that the committee , beiagof opinion that the operations had been quite regular , and that there was nothing in the telegraphic despatch to complain of as an exercise of illegal pressure upon the electors , admitted the validity of the election .
M . Madierde Monjau maintained , on the contrary , that there could not he a more illegal and scandalous invasion of electoral freedom than the despatch in question ; and proposed thai the Assembly should remind the Minister of the Interior of the vote of censure which bad been applied to him on loth May , 1849 , for abuse of the telegraph . IT . Leon Sandier sougfet to establish , fay means of letters which he had addressed to the prefect of the Land's , that he had always recommended neutrality between candidates who should not profess an adhesion to extreme parties . He bad deemed it his duty to add , in defence of society , that the friend s ) of order ought to give their votes only to a candidate who would take the engagement of defending the law of May .
M . Entile de Girardin maintained the illegality of the despatch , which could have no other effect hnt to interfere with the liberality of election . He attacked " ia spite of the remonstrances of the Assembljj the unconatitutionality of the law of May , reminded the Chamber of the gross abuse of the telegraph which had already earned an unanimous vote of censure for the Minister of the Interior when he was last in office , and announced that he should propose a similar vote upon the present occasion , which onght to meet with the concurrence of M . Faucher himself , when he remembered that he had , en February 22 , 1848 , required the
impeachment of the ministry . Lastly , M . Girardiu shifted 'the object of his attack , and took M . Dampierre , the reporter , to task for the change which had come over bis opinions since the address which he had issued to bis electors in April , 1848 . M . Sampierre gave M . Girardin tit for tat , and enumerated some of the metamorphoses which the talented editor ef the ' Presse * bad gone through since the same epoch . Finally he read some extracts from a pamphlet , entitled Guerre a l'Apostasie • M . Girardin peint par lui-m ' erae . ' M . Gixardin had said that the executive power had been taken prisoner in . 1848 .
SI . de Girardin replied that its capture was owingtoits not having been defended . M . Baroche , Minister of Foreign Affairs , defended the despatch , and maintained that the government bad the right to announce what system it desired to triumph . He declared aloud that the law of May 31 was the flag of the cabinet . Finally , the Assembly proceeded first to vote on the validity of the election , which was confirmed
by 430 votes against 212 . The following motived order of the day , as proposed by M . Girardin was then put to the vote : — The Assembly , blaming the telegraphic despatch sent by the Minister of the Interior to the prefect of the Landes on the 9 th of May * passes to the order of tbe day . ' The Assembly adopted , by a majority of 372 votes against 233 , the pare and simple order of the day . Tbe sitting then broke np .
At the commencement of the Assembl y ' s sitting on Saturday an imaense mass of petitions was presented , as usual , for the revision of the constitution and for the abolition of the law of May . The hpnse then proceeded to thesecand deliberation on the National Gnard Bill . MM . Napoleon Bonaparte and Pascal Dnprat proposed a preamble declaring that the national guard is instituted to defend the constitution , the republic , and the ri ghts of the people . Both of these members supported with energy their amendment , and strove to prove that the groundwork of the new bill was counterrevolutionary . M . de Riancey , the reporter , opposed the amendment . He reminded the house how from
the earliest period of their popular institution , and so far back as 1791 , there had been a party that wished to create in the national guard a counterpoise against the army . He quoted a fragment of a speech of Robespierre to this effect , which was vehemently applauded by the Left . Then , turning to the applanders , he exclaimed , 'Army against army , civil war organised , this then is what you desire . ' A tremendous uproar fnllawed this apostrophe , in the midst of which M . Valentin was called to order . The most violent interpellations were exchanged between the two sides of the Assembly , without the possibility of distinguishing a syllable in the midsl of the indescribable hubbub .
Another tumult arose thus : —M . deRiaacey reminded the house that M . Pascal Duprat had demanded the state of siege in 1848 . M . Duprat alleged , in justification of his proposal , that he had done so at a moment when eminent men of the Right begged the executive power to fl y from Paris , and to remove tbe seat of the Assembly to Bourges . M ; Denjoy exclaimed that the assertion of M . Dnprat was a calumny , and challenged him to name the eminent persons to whom he alluded . M . Duprat called oa the President of the Assembly to protect his independence and privileges , as a representative , against such violent denunciations ; and resisted the calls of the Right to name the parties .
M . de Larcy affirmed that the demand of which M . Duprat spoke was made by one of his own party , and not by a member of tbe Right . Thus would be effaced from history the line which M . Duprat sought to inscribe there . The Assembly then proceeded to vote on the amendment , which was rejected by 416 votes against
PIEDMONT . In the sitting of the Chamber of Deputies on the 19 th inst ., M . . Valerio addressed interpellations to the ministry to clear up the following points : — 1 . If the . government was arranging , or wished to arrange , a . concoraat with Rome ? 2 . If a league was being concluded with the other Italian stales ? 3 . Why the marriage Bill had not been nresented ? 4 . Why M . Siccardi had retired from the cabinet ? 5 . "Wh y the two vacant posts in the cabinets were not filled ? 6 . If the convention concluded with Austria in 1834 wonld bedenouaced ? together with several other questions . The Minister of Foreign
Affairs said that , as regarded fhs slate of negotiations with Rome ; he begged the Chamber to excuse him from disclosing more than that the government was inspired with the best intentions to produce harmony between the spiritual and temporal powers , but would never sacrifice in order to obiain this end the duties of citizens or ministers . As to the second question , he could distinctly state that the ranioiir of the league was entirel y false . M . Sic cardi had retired from the cabinet on account of the weak state of his health . The treaty concluded with Austria in 1834 had been denounced . He trusted the chamber would be satisfied with these explanation s .
ITALY . Accounts from Rome state that the degradation of France is now complete . The soldiers of the grande nation , are commanded by papal gbirril "Waal would the great Napoleon exclaim , could he for one moment look upon the doings of his nephew ' s array , and behold platoons of French soldiers , not waking the touriu inonde , but the tour de promenade up and down the Corso , in broad daylight , in . suiting , ill-treating , and arresting peaceable citizens , for the shapes of their hats or the colour of their

of their victims , besides taking them off to prison if all is not received in good part . All Rome looks , on with horror and "dismay at such proceedings sanctioned and executed by the ' * generosity of trance ' as General Gemeau terms it . Many unfortunates have complained that they were not aware that wide-awakes or mourning dresses were prohibited , there being no edict whatever on the subject , but a thump on the bead from a siirri or a French corporal , is all the consolation they get in reply . An inoffensive young man , named Mimrao Petti , has actually been imprisoned for wearing mourning for his-father ' . —mourning being construed by the jealousy of the Papal authorities , and the zeal ef the republican General Gemeao , into ah allusion of grief at the extinction of the Roman Republic !
All arms are commanded to be given up by a recent proclamation of General Gemeau . Not even British subjects or Roman princes are allowed to return a single gun in their possession for tbe protection of their own private property , and all persons , no matter what nation they belong to , or what office they hold , whether they are consuls or anything else , are to be subjected to domiciliary visits from the Papal police whenever they choose to do s .
The violence and injustice with which the unfortunate Romans have been treated for the last few days are generally attributed to the revengeful feelings of the government at seeing the antismoking demonstration so universally adopted , and to a desire to push the people to despair by every possible mode of annoyance and persecution , so as to bring about a premature attempt at insurrection , and then have a proper pretext for diminishing still more the already dwindling population by exile , the galleys , and the scaffold . For this purpose the sbirri have now begun to find fault with
the cut of peoples beards , as well as that of their hats and dresses ; and the other morning they dragged off two persons noted for the length of hairy appendage to their chins , Sambuccietti , the money-changer , and Cenciarelli , the mosaicist , to the barber ' s shop , with strict injunctions to that functionary not to leave a hair on their ; faces , an order which he complied with to such purpose that they might well have exclaimed on leaving the shop— 'Sure never face was half 80 smug 1 ' whilst their republican friends , surprised at the metamorphosis , ;
. grinned and stared Heighday ! what ' s here ? without a beard ! Say , brother , whence the dire disgrace ? ¦ Wh at envious band hath robbed your face ? One of the most respectable commercial men in Rome was imprisoned lately , on account of his beard , unless , indeed , it was on account of bis religion , for the person alluded , to , Sighor Flaminiq Tensi ; is a convert from the Jewish to the Prates ! tant creed , and a . son of the ' well-known Marco Terai , of Ancona , who . rendered some important services to tbe late Pope Gregory XVI .
. Two circulars have appeared on the walls of Rome in spite of the soldiers' and police . One " was in French , and . I understand that it has been alto abundantly distributed amongst the French officers , abjuring them " to cease from persecuting tbeunfortunaJe Romans , assuring them that the recent squabbles between soldiers of the two nations were purposely brought about by the intrigues of the priests , and declaring that' there was no sentiment of individual dislike towards them on the part of the citizens , but the profoundest , disgust at jtheic upholding so rotten a cause as that of ' ecclesiastical regime . The other circular . wa 9 in Italian , and ad .
dressed to the Romans , exhorting them to support with patience the cruelties and persecutions of their paternal government , and to continue their passive hostility by abandoning the two pernicious practices of smoking and" gambling in the lottery ;' so as to embarras 8 ' more thanievei ; . the' fibances of the state . Pasquin ' slast joke . on the- smoking . demonstration has appeared in the form of a conversation between himself a nd his compeer , Marforio , ' Why don ' t you smoke ? ' says the latter . ' 'Because , ' replies Pasquin , « th e Republic is in the family-way just now , and the smell of the tobacco might prove detrimental to her . ' ' ¦ ' ' ; ; - - * - •"
JSewa from Rome to the 20 ib . inst , states that the ourt-martial has , pronounced ; sentence upon the soldiers accused of assaulting the French . In the first case two of , the accused have been condemned to the galleys for life , and the other two for ten years . In tbe second case , of attempt to stab a French corporal , two Romans have been condemned to death , and two to the galleys ' for life ; f
SPAIN . ; . A most painful feeling . has ; been excited in the public mind by a sanguinary attack made by the armed police upon the students of the universityan attack in which seven youths of ei ghteen or nineteen years of age have been severel y wounded , and amongst them the son of Muchadas , the deputy for Cadiz , a youth of great promise , and young Ulloa , the son of a wealth y mbderado . In consequence of a decree augmenting the matriculation fee to a sum beyond the pecuniary means of the students , who are for the most part youths of very slender resources , a great deal of discontent has been manifested among
them , especially those belonging to the medical and veterinary schools . One of the p ' rofessoraof philosopny , in an harangue made to his class , exhorted them uot to follow the example of the cataplasmeros . The studentB . of medicine , on learning the epithet so unpolitically applied to them , assembled to the number of 400 or 500 , and proceeding to his class , hissed and hooted during the lecture . r In the mean time Chico , the chief of the secret police , with a strong body of civil guards , horse arid foot , and a number of police agents , made his appearance asthe
students were leaving the' University , and haying met with some resistance in endeavouring to arrest some of the most noisy , charged the excited youth with great barbarity , wounding' many and taking a great number prisoners . Great military precautions were immediately taken , as'tbe poverty and distress of the labouring classes and the general discontent make the government look upon every symptom of tumult with uneasiness . . A la ' rge body of the students have proceeded to the office of the Clamor Publico' to request tbat their cause may be pleaded in that paper . : . .,.-...-. ¦ ¦ ¦ :
On the following day fresh disturbances took place . The students iinpaved the ' ctfirt to p ' rovide themselves with . missiles against tbl police . " An officer with troops bf- the line having been sent to reduce them to ' order , assured the students that thoso . who had bSen arrested yesterday should be treated with all pnsBibie respect . Upon this the youths were . pacified ; still it . was expected that fresh rio ^ s would break out on the morrow ; and groups of students were seen gathering in a state of much excitement in the principal streets . : '
General Espa * tero has aent a letter of condolence to the QaeetuMother on the pecasioh of her late accident . This letter has Very much ' displeased the progreststa parly , and has been auch sneered at by the moderados , Who , . though they ' affect to respect the Queen-Mother , are too sensible that it is her exigencies that form the principal difficulties in the government of . the country . - ' . ¦ . ^ The Count de Thoma ' r had a short time ago his
wife smother , " a Mrs . Reid , ' at his house , and was ' deswoue of baying all his property placed in her name ; for which end , it is said , he made inquiries of the British authorities , to know how far they would protect , it in an eventual case ; but I believe tbe encouragement was so weak that the : desire was abandoned . The count knew fullwell his power was built upon'delusion , and he anticipated that une dsy hewouldba obliged to give an account of bis possessions . "' ' ' ' '' ' ' . ¦
