      FRANCE . Paris , Friday . —The public is occnpied with a new phase of the Carlier question . M . Lemalier having demanded authorisation to prosecute M . Carlier , the Prefect of Police , M . Forcade , the editor of the ' Messager , ' and M . Virmaitre , editor of the * Corsaire , ' M . Debelleyme has given the authorisation demanded . The prefect of police is competent to decline all prosecution before the tribunals not authorised in the first instance by the Conseil d'Etat . But M . Carlier has , I understand , consented to waive the privilege , and to accept the summons of the correctional police . MM . Forcade anaVinnaitre will decline the competence of this tribunal , and demand to be brought to trial by the Court of Assizes . ¦

      At the sitting of the Assembly on Friday week the petitions for revigion presented by members , or received by the President , contained 41 , 119 signatares . The Revision Committee examined on Sunday the propositions of M . Payer for the revision , by a Constituent Assembly , of th » 20 th , 21 st , 30 th , 41 st , 45 th , 76 tb , 77 A , and 102 nd articles of the Constitution ; and of M . Larabit for an appeal to the nation ( and consequently the repeal of the law of the 31 sl of May ) as to the re-eligibiUty of the President of the Republic . M . Payer declared himself a fervent and sincere Republican , and it was in order

      that a moderate Republic should be established in France that he advocated the re-election of the President . lie maintained that the Chief of the State was not always master of the suffrages of the people , and cited the example of General Cavaiznac , who , with all tha public functionaries and agents at his disposal , and in spite of his eminent services , conld only muster 1 , 500 , 000 votes for his election to the Presidency . On the 24 th of February , he said , the whole of the public

      functionaries , generals , admirals , and all , gave in at once their adhesion to the new government , and they moreover inveighed in the strongest terras against the government that had just fallen . Though a Bepublicsn , he still felt indignant at such conduct . Not less than 30 , 000 of their letters , demanding places , were copied at the Foreign-office . AH this showed how the functionaries were at the mercy of every government ; it was the crying scandal of the time 3 , and the only remedy for it was decentralisation .

      M . Larabit supported his proposition to consnlt the nation on the single fact of the re-eli gibility of the President of the Republic . M . Creton supported his proposition for the nomination of a Constituent Assembly to decide between Monarchy and the Republic . The doctrine of the' Divine Right * of the Republic was , in his opinion , monstrous ; and , though he had his preferences in favour of a Constitutional Monarch y , yet he was determined to abide by the will of the conntry regularly expressed .

      M- Bouhier de l'Ectase also defended his proposition for the nomination of a Constitnent Assembly by universal suffrage , and that of a provisional President , whose powers shonld expire when the said Assembly decided between Monarchy and the Republic . The Commission then adjourned . I may as well add that from all that can be ascertained at present , the choice of Reporter of the Commission is likely to fall on M . de Tocqueville or M . Odilou Barrot .

      On Saturday the Assembl y proceeded to discuss the bill for authorising the government to close dubs and political meetings of all kinds , the report on which was laid on the table on Friday by M . Jules de Lasteyrie . Urgency was adopted . M . Chanffour objected to the hill as unconstitutional . M . Pens-Tande toot the same line of opposition . SI . Madier de Montjaa recalled to remembrance the eulogies which had been passed upon the Right of the Assembly by the greater part of those who were now exerting all their efforts to destroy it . He dwelt in conclusion upon the perils to which thej would expose the country by giving to the

      government an arbitrary control over the power of meeting . M . Jules de Lasteyrie defended the bill . After showing the necessity of suppressing ordinary political clubs , organised for the express purpose of conspiring against order , he came to the more delicate question of allowing the goverment power to put down electoral meetings . After dwelling with emphasis upon the disclesures with regard to the Society of the Dix-Decembre made in the notes of M . Carlier , and alluding to the manffiuvres of the government in obtaining signatures to the petitions for revision , he said that it was law which put wide powers inte the hands of the government , bnt the Assembly always had the means of revoking those powers , if it should find them abused for ambitions purposes . M . Sainte Benve then moved the

      following amendment to the bill on clubs , as an additional paragraph to the 1 st article : — « Nevertheless , the provisions of these laws shall not be applicable to the electoral meetings held during the three months preceding either the election of the National Assembly , or that of the President of the Republic : ' —M . Leon Faucher opposed ihe amendment , which would annul the law . —M . Bac supported it , and drew the attention of the Assembly to en article which appeared in the 'Assemblee Hationale , * entitled , ' League for the Public Good . —M . de Kerdrel then occnpied the tribune . The'Voisdn Present , ' printed at St . Amand , has been seized for prosecution . The celebrated M . Cabet has surrendered himself for trial on the charge of swindling brought againBthim by some ex-Icarians . '

      The Assembly adopted on Saturday evening by a large majority , the bill for renewing for another year the act by which political clubs are suppressed . The Minister of the Interior promised that there should be no interference with electoral meetings carried on in an orderly manner . The speeches of MM . de Broglie , de Tocqueville , and O . Barrot on Tuesday in the committee on revision are important . M . de Broglie feresaw the re-election of Louis Napoleon ; he admitted the legality of a resolution of the assembly which should refuse to confirm an unconstitutional elec .

      toon . But it was not sufficient that a resolution should be legal in order to be capable of execution . The resolution would be annulled beforehand by the country . M . de Tocqueville deemed revision the sole means of salvation for France : but he thought that their determination to make the constitution respected ought to be expressed in the report . If he was to believe what he heard the initiative of the petition movement had come from the government . If the administration had exceeded its duties in this respectthat also ht to

      , oug be mentioned in the report . The report ought likewise to contain a declaration in favour of the maintenance of the republic , and a public assertion of their bslief that at present it was impossible to think of re-establishing the monarchy . M . Odillon Barret said that the two propositions of MM . Creton and Bonhier de l'Ecluse , which opened the question between monarchy and tbe republic , were revolutionary , and for that reason he rejected them . Counter-revolutions were effected Only by arms .

      «* rf * T * ° ? of » ne P roPO » tions of Payer ™ a a , « - dM Pyra '« is , M . de Broglie propasea tbe following - : The Assembl y sees article 111 of the constitution , and declares that the constitution may be revised conformably to this article . ' This tesolutiou was adopted by 8 to 7 votes . Tocqueville has been named reporter by 8 to 5 votes given to Broglie , and 2 to Barrot . Monday last being the anniversary of the insurrection of June , 1848 , religious ceremonies were performed in all tbe churches in Paris , in comnemoration of the numerous victims of that

      sanguinary conflict . Tfee churebes were well attended .

      by euiamo ot Paris . M . Laurent ( de l'Ardeche ) presented a petition against the law of May , sicned by a great number of citizens at tbe offices of the Repubbque * newspaper . The petitions pre . sented by M . Ducos on Saturday in favour of revision be ar 23 , 757 signatures : those ' presented by M . Laurent against the law of May are signed by 20 , 767 citizens of Paris . The ' Constitutionnel' attempts to make the most of the petitions for revision , tbe signatures of which arnaunt to nearly a million ; 30 . U 00 have been furnished by the Meuse , and 15 , 000 by the arrondissement of Rheims ; 13 , 000 have signed at Saintes . The review in the Cbamp de Mars passed of with perfect order .

      PIEDMONT . In its sitting of the 17 ih the Chamber of Deputies of Turin passed , by 103 votes to thirty , the bill authorising the government to contract a loan of 75 , 000 , 000 of francs for the construction of railways , with the proviso that the said sum shall be placed on mortgage on the railway lines to be constructed .

      Count Revel quitted Turin on the 19 ih for Lon . don , for the purpose of contracting the government loan of seventy-five millions . In consequence of the following circumstance the political offenders confined in the Roman prisons will no longer be allowed , as heretofore , to receive once a month the visits of their relatives . On Sunday , the 8 ih inst ,, the notary Appolini obtained , after eight months' entreaty , permission to see . his son . The emotion of the poor father was such that at the moment he encircled his child in his arms , he was struck with apoplexy . M . Marc Evangelistithe

      , Chancellor of the Tribunal of the Consulta , remarkable for the harshness of his temper , was present at the scene , and opposed the sending for a surgeon to bleed the father , but insisted on his instant removal lest he should expire within the prison , and his daughters , who had accompanied him procuring a coach , removed their parent in his then unconscious state . On Sunday , the 15 tb , M . Evangelisti , in leaving bis house , received from an unknown band a blow from a poignard at the bottom of the abdomen . The wound thus inenrred was very serious , and appears to be a mortal one .

      Two French officers on li ghting their cigars which they bad just then purchased , were wounded in the face by their explosion . One of them has , in consequence , lost the use of one eve .

      BELGIUM . The treaty concluded between Belgium and the Netherlands , for the abolition of the navigation dues on the Meuse , consists only of the two following articles : — Art . 1 . The navigation dues established on that part of the Meuse which serves as the boundary between the Netherlands and Bel gium , the levying of which is regulated by Art . 3 of the Convention of the 20 fch May , 1843 , will cease to be enforced after the 1 st July , 1851 . Art . 2 . These dues cannot be re-established till after the expiration of a delay of six months after the- expiration of this convention , the ratification of which shall be exchanged within 8 ix months , or sooner , if possible .

      The chamber resumed its sitting on the 23 rd inst , and a great deal of interest was necessaril y attached to this the first meeting after the ministerial crisis . The Minister of "War appeared in the chamber for the first time . In a concise speech , he declared that his sentiments coincided entirely with those of the Cabinet , and that the army might have the fullest confidence in tho Bolicitude of his colleagues . The explanations of tho Minister of Finance regarding the late crisis were worded in a spirit of eonsiderateness , and quite calculated to conciliate the Liberal party . —Brussels Pawn June 24 .

      SWITZERLAND . We Jeara from Friburgh that the Court of Assizes of that place has delivered its verdict in the case of the three brothers Carrard and their thirtyseven accomplices , who were tried as the principals in the late insurrection . The three Carrards have been declared guilty of the crime of hig h' treason without any extenuating circumstances . Sis of the prisoners were found guilty of the same offence , but with extenuating circumstances ; twelve were found guilty of aiding and abetting in the crime ; one was condemned for exciting to revolt , and sixteen have been acquitted .

      SPAIN . The Chamber of Deputies was crowded on the 16 th inst with persons anxious to hear the debate on the vote of censure against ministers , moved by D . Manuel Bermudezde Castro . That deputy is one of the most vehement members of the old moderado party of Sartorius and Narvaez . Owing to the long financial statement with the budget of 1852 read by Bravo Murfflo , the motion of Bermudez de Castro did not come on till nearly four in the afternoon . M . Manuel began by attacking the violent and arbitrary acts which bad disgraced the elections . This accusation , it may he observed , would have come with more propriety from the

      mouth of one less intimately connected with a party notorious as that of Sartorins for its unscrupulous mareeuvres by force and fraud upon electoral occasions . Therefore , when D . Manuel spoke of banishment of candidates of the opposition , dismissals of employes en masse , with appointment of relations of the ministers in their places , threats of assault , and fire and pillage by hired ruffians , he enumerated no more than what every one knows to be the invariable accompaniments of Spanish elections under the moderado rule , and which disgrace , ful aids to the ministerial candidates had been used by no government more freely than that which had the complete approbation and support of the speaker ,

      D . Manuel then said that if any one doubted his word for these facts he was ready to drop the privileges of a deputy to maintain his assertions . He was surprised that no judicial investigation had been ordered by tbe government into the violations of correspondence which had been committed , and no employes of the government prosecuted . Two royal orders had been despatched forgiving a district its whole debt of arrears to the treasury , which had been revoked as soon as it was known that the same district had voted against the ministerial candidates . He charged with base ingratitude those who , owing their position to Sartorius , iormer Minister of the Interior , committed a thousand illegalities to insure

      his election . He then accused Bravo Murillo of traropelling upon and insulting the presB bv the daily confiscation of newspapers , which he accused of falsehood . His harangue was listened to with great attention b y a crowded house . The sitting closed with the reply of Beltran deLis to Bermudez de Castro . On the next day the debate having been res « med , Pidal attacked the ministry . Barzanallana made a disclosure which produced much sensation , declaring that Beltran de Lis had intercepted a letter addressed to Mm ( Barzanallana ) by TJriaa and having read it , dismissed Unas from his office , Beltran deLts made a very unsuccessful apology for having read the letter , and met with loud marks of disapprobation from all parts of the house and

      tribunes . The senate has been occupied with discussing tbe mode of procedure with regard to the concordat , which is to remain , as usual , three days upon the table . " The Minister of Grace and Justice , Gonzales Ravero , made a speech in eulogy of this treaty with the Holy Bee , which was regarded as an important pledge of the adherence of the present Cabinet to the most retrograde measure of the preceding one . For the rest this Minister ' s speech was a complete failure . ¦ ¦ : - ¦ Madrid , Jtob 10 . —The commUtee ' on the ' debt has chosen for its chairman M . Flores Calderon and for secretary , M . Maquieria . ' The chamber bas rejected the motion of M . Borrego for a new law of the press . It was about to vote on a motion that the concordat should be submitted to the

      examination of the legislature . Then it would discuss the motion for a vote of confidence in the cabinet . .

      PORTUGAL . By advices from Oporto up to tbe 20 th we learn that all was qnite tranquil in Portugal . A French squadron was . expected to remain in the Tagus . Like every other branch , the Portuguese naval officers , not Cabralistas , were proscribed by Cabralisra ; and , from the smaUness of their pay when unemployed , many of them were in a state of semistarvation . The Marquis of Louie , Minister of Marine , ha 8 done an act which reflects credit upon him—namely , ordered a strict observance of

      former regulations , by which no naval officer shall be embarked more than three continuouVyeara , which opena the advantages of the iervice to all alike ; oiLW the officer when "A 08 * ' together with hi » m ^ w "" - 18868 ' be 5 n & ™ y far 8 U P eri « toihti J ^ pce which he receives whae on shore * £ S !

      having found that much injustice had been done to old and deserving officers by their having been laid upon the shelf , and their prospects blighted in consequence , be made a general promotion , plac ; lflg those who are ' incapable of serving on the . retired list ; the consequence is , that the country is burdened with a vast additional expense , which is estimated at upwards of 350 contos of reis ( nearly £ 100 , 000 ) annually . A regulation has been made by Saldanha relative to the municipal guards of Lisbon and

      Oportothat in future they are to be officered by officers of the line , and in order that the officers of the former force may not be prejudiced , they are to pass to and take their rank in the line , being eligible for employment in either force ; this is a severe blow to Cabralism , as the officers of the guard in question were totally distinct , and formed an exclusive body , which made intrigue the more certain ; a disaffected officer can therefore be now removed and placed in another regiment , without affecting his individual advantage and prospects .

      GERMANY . The ' Spener Gazette ' of the 18 th states that Austria , Prussia , and Russia are now agreed as to the manner of settling the affairs of the Duchies . These three powers no longer demand that Rendsburgh shall be declared a German fortress , as the consent of the King of Denmark to that project cannot be obtained ; but they will be satisfied by Rendsburgh being garrisoned by the troops of Schleswig-Holstein . It is notr known whether Denmark will agree to this last proposition .

      . The ' . CologneGazette' of the 18 th says that the Austrian soldiers who occupied the faubourg St . Paul at Hamburgh without having obtained the consent of the Senate , were to be withdrawn , the authorities haviog given an assurance that they would take severe measures to preserve order and tranquillity . Tbe posts were to be doubled , and the police reorganised . The ' German Gazette of the North , ' however , ' says an order has been reeeived from Vienna by General Legeditscb , requiring him to demand of the authorities to suspend the exercises of the Burgher Guard , and that the posts occupied by them should be taken possession of by tbe Austrian troops . . ; ....

      .. By intelligence received at Berlin up to the 16 th it appears that the provinces are generally opposed to the ministerial ordinance for tbe convocation of the provincial states . From an article which appears in the Pruasiche Zeitung , * the ministerial organ , it would seem pretty clear that the resolution which had been , if not formed , in process of formation , for the permanent revival of that institution , has been abandoned . Still , the temporary restoration of these assemblies is very tenaciously persisted in by the ministry . It is said that the Diet at , Frankfort has prolonged for six months the plenary powers of Austria and Prussia to settle the Hesse Cassel question .,

      , ; The question of the provincial . states or diets . is likely to become further , complicated by a ministerial decision meddling with the states of circles , or parts of provinces . Government : has , it is said , determined that in the meetings of these states of circles no votes will be held valid except they be unanimous . ' Numbers of the revived provincial states and states of circles continue to declare their incompptency to deliberate . The Hanoverian correspondent of tlie ' Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung , ' a particularly well-informed

      person in genera ) , in giving an account of the Olmutz conferences , says that the Czar most cordially approved of Austria ' s centralisation plans with respect to her non-German possessions , and that several schemes were discussed for effacing the different nationalities , and placing all power in the government at Vienna , making landed proprietors , the nobility , and the courts of law , as much as possible dependent on the central administration . The satn « writer says that the annexation of the provinces alluded to to the Bund was a project not entered ' on at all .

      One of the consequences of the reinstitution of the Diet has been to give fresh energy and vigour to the plans and intrigues of the aristocracy in the minor states in which the revolution of 1848 overturned the old representation by estates or classes , and introduced parliaments elected by the people . Foremost araong the host who are attacking this inroad on their privileges , are the nobility—• the knights' of Hanover . They have in vain petitioned the King to restore the old class representation ; their petitions and their threatening meetings have been alike disregarded . But the Hanoverian i& . vernment has assisted to re-raise an institution whose power is greater in some cases than its own ; and to that power the knights turn for help . The nobility or knights ( Rittcrschaft ) of the province of

      Osnabruck , in Hanover , have petitioned the august Diet to employ its power to the restoration of what they call their just constitutional rights . The petition is in the form of a complaint against the government of Hanover , and is accompanied by an opinion in their favour , drawn up by one of the inoht celebrated German lawyers . This mode of proceeding on the part of the knights gives to the Diet an opportunity of interfering more boldly in the internal arrangements of Hanover , and may be made the handle for putting down parliamentary institutions , wherever they exist . There are plenty of individuals to be found in every state of the confederation witting and ready to make the same complaint as the Knights of Osnabruck , the moment they discern a chance of success .

      HAMBURG . The Austrian commander of AHonahas consented to withdraw his troops from St . Pauli , if the Senate will guarantee the maintenance of order . The same functionary has insisted on the suspension of the Hamburg civic guard .

      AUSTRIA . Letters from Vienna of the 15 lh inst . announce that the mission of Count Dietrichstein to Paris , for the purpose of urging at the Elysce the policy of admitting all the Austrian states into the confederation , has failed . We learn from Vienna that the Austrian Minister of the Interior has called upon all Frenchmen in the states of the Emperor to make a declaration of their being there , and to state whether they are residents or merely travellers . This order has been issued at the request of the French government , in order , that ihenew census of the population of France . may be complete . ,

      AMERICA . In the case of Scott , indicted at Boston for the rescue of the fugitive slave Shadrach , the jury were unable to agree upon a verdict . Although agreeing as to the constitutionality of the fugitive slave law , they stood equally divided On the question of con . victing the prisoner . The district attorney has announced his intention of putting the case on trial again in a few days . The Postmaster-General has announced an arrangement , to take effect after July 1 , by which letters to the West India islands , ports in the Gulf of Mexico , and on the Atlantic coast of South America . can be sent through the United States Post Office on pre-payment of . the United States postage toatjy such ports in the British possessions , and with the addition of the British , postage , when destined for . ports belonging to other governments .

      CALIFORNIA . -The « DeW publishes the following letter from its correspondent at San Francisco , May 1 : — A deplorable conflict' took place last week at the Placer of the Mokelammes , between the French and the miners of other nations . The rich plateau had been for some time occupied by the French who had discovered it ; one , two , and sometimes three pounds of gold were found in a day . The report of the riches of this spot soon reached the neighbouring encampmenisi and some of the miners came from them and established themselves near the French station , but not being successful in finding the precious metal , they determined to come and take possession of the part belonging to the French ., . ''' . '¦

      A desperate struggle took place when one of tbe Frenchmen in a rage took up a gun and shot one of his assailants dead on the spot . The body was taken up and carried by his comrades to their camp , when cries of vengeance were immediately raised . A general rising among them took place , and they came well armed , . to the number of between 500 and . 600 , to . attack find drive . out tbe French from their rich ¦ holding . The latter , who were only sixty , in number , made a vigorous defence , but were it length overpowered b y ' numbers ud compelled ^ a bandon tbe ground , t > d retire

      into a sorti t » f enclosure , where they entrenched ^" . rtlvefc , When there , they opened negotiations . A-heir assailants had during this time pillaged the French tents and burnt them . Intoxicated by their success , they then offered the most disgraceful terras to the French , who refused them , and resolved to evacuate the place , which they did , fighting , however , every inch of the way , until they reached the Placer San Andres . News of the affair having reached San Francisco , Mr . Dillion , the French consul , immediately sent an express to the government of San Jose , begging it to use its efforts to put an end to the conflict . The prompt intervention of our consul , his moderation , and the

      esteem in which he is held by all classes , in San Francisco , had its effect . He was about to start himself ( or the mines , when a courier reached him with an account of the quarrel having been brought to a close , in consequence of his communication to the government . During the retreat , the French lost none of their party , one only received a wound in the leg , This conflict has not originated with Americans , but , with a band of vagabonds of all nations who support themselves by pillage , Mr . Dillion has left Sun Francisco for the mines , accompanied by some superior officers of the American army , in order to restore perfect harmony among the miners of different nations , and to adopt measures for the punishment of the band of brigands .

      ALGERIA . Letters have been received in Paris , from Kab y lia , dated the 16 th inst . At that date the expeditionary column had returned to Gigelly , after having extended . its operations in the direction of Bougia , from which it was only distant two days ' march . The French troops had mot no opposition . On the contrary , the Kabyles had made their submission in every direction . The sanitary condition of the troops , was excellent , and it was intended that after a short rest they should march against the Kabyle tribes to the east of Gigelly , towards Collo . It was believed that the most difficult portion of the expedition had been accomplished , and that the campaign would not be prolonged beyond the 15 th of July .
