FRANCE . On Tuesday evening last the President , on retiring from the banquet at Poitiers , repaired with a numerous party to the Promenade de Blossac , which runs round the top of the old walls . Here a dis--play of fireworks look place . In the meantime the T ) anquet-iinll having heen , with that dexterity peculiar to French artists in the decorative branch , converted info a ball-room , the President opened the dancing with the wife of the Prefect , and presently after retired . On Wednesday morning the President reviewed the National Guard of Poitiers
and ihe troops in garrison , there ; immediately after which he left by the train for Chatellherault , where abreakiast had been prepared , and where an important incident marked his arrival . This little town contains a thick industrial population . The National Guard at the Railway Station , immediately on the President ' s arrival , set up one universal shout of * Yivela UepuWiquel' The iahalri tanis joined in this demonstration . From the station to the Hotelde-Ville , the manifestations in favour of the Republic assumed a character of seriour hostility against the person of the President , whose carriage ^ was besieged »» y a furiou 3 mob , shouting « A bas Napoleon 1 ' The Paris police was very numerous and
Btrone . and , tbe sergens-de-ville , acting with decision , arrested some of the National Guards who uttered the hostile cry . Thus the riot was curbed until the President reached the place appointed / or h : s recep . tion . M eanwhile the rain fell in torrents . At breakfast , in answer to the mayor , who deplored the tumult , the President declined the flattering terms in which that functionary attributed to him all the g ood done in the last three years , and gave all the credit to the whole party of order . This admission was loudly cheered . It was after the mayor , in a speech somewhat highly spiced with personal compliments , had proposed the health of Louis Napoleon , that the latter returned trauks in the following words : —
* Gentlemen , —In thanking the Mayor for the lind words which he lias just addressed to me , I cannon attribute to myself alone the happy results which he has pointed out . My conduct during the list three years may be summed up in a few words . I placed myself resolutely at the head of the men of order of all parties , and I have received from them an efficacious and disinterested co-aperation . If there have been some defections , I am ignorant of them , f 9 r I go forward without casting a look
behind . There must be an impulse and an aim . My impulse is the love of my country ; my aim is to make religion and reason prevail over Utopias , and to g ive heart to the good cause , that it tremble no more in : he face ot error . This result will be obtained , i f we follow throughout France the example of Chalellherault , and if we forge arms , not for insurrection and for civil war , but to increase the strength , the greatness , and the independence of the nation . '
The Moniteur * contains decrees for assembling the Electoral Colleges of the Lat and of the North on the 27 » h ult , in order to elect members in the room of M . de Saint Priest , deceased , and of Gen . de la Hitte , resigned . There are thus to be five elections within the present month , three of which are fued for next Sunday . The results may be already anticipated , for the National' announces that in the ' Seine and Marne not only have the electors in their local meetings pronounced for ab-Btentinn , hu » several citizens , whose candidatesbip stood the best chances of success , had declared that their consciences would not permit them to accept from a fraction of citizens a mandate which the
constitution puts in the hands of all . In the upper Vienne the republican representatives for the department had engaged their fellow citizens to abstain from voting , and their counsels had been backed by their own constituents . In the Dordoine , at a meeting of delegates from the cantons at Perigneux . it was resolved that the democrats should not present themselves at the voting places , the nine representatives for the department bad , like their Colleagues representing the upper Vienne , engaged their constituents not to vote . Thus then are the Republican party unanimous for abstention . ' The 'Assembled Nationale' affirms that the northern conrts have formally offered to Rome , Naples , and Tuscanny any aid these governments mat require against revolutionary movements .
M . de Melun ' s report oa the petitions was Tead on Siturday to the Commission . The total number of signatures , marks , and adhesions te the 30 th of June , inclusive , is stated by the reporter to be 1 , 123 . 625 . At the f ete in celebration of the inauguration of the statue of Jeanne Hachette the President of the B epu ' ilic had on his ri ? ht M . Dnpin , President of the National Assembly : on the left M . Boulay , Vice-President of the Republic ; opposite to him were the Bishop , the Mayor , and the Prefect . At the dessert the Mayor proposed as a toast , ' To the President . ' to the elect of the lOih of December , ihe heir olfte most illustrious warrior ) ' which he introduced with the following speech : — 1 Your presence within our walls recalls the remembrance of the visit of the First Consul in 1802 .
It excites the eame enthusiasm and the same sentiments of gratitude . To you we are indebted for the tranquillity which we now enjay . The wise measures which you have taken and the force and energy of the government have put anarchy to silence . Order , disturbed by a convulsion which Shook society to its very foundation has been reestablished . Credit revives , and commerce and in . dustry have resumed their free course . Thanks be to you for all these blessings . ' "Vive le President ! Vive la France !' The Pesident replied as follows : —
Gentlemen , —The honourable Mayor of Beaav&is will pardon me for confining myself to merely thanking him for the flattering words which he has just addressed tome . In replying to it . I should fear to change the religious character of this fete , which by the commemoration of a glorious fact accomplished in this city , presents a high historical lesson . It is encouraging to think that , in cases of extreme danger . Providence frequently reserves to cne alone to be the salvation of all , and , under certain circumstances , it has even chosen that being from among the softer sex , as if it wished , by the weakness of the instrument , to better prove the empire of the goal over human affairs , and to show that a cause
does not perish when it is carried on with ardent faith , inspired devotedness , aud deep conviction . Thus , in the fifteenth century , with a few years of interval , two women , obscure but animated with Bacred fire , Jeanne d'Arc and Jeanne Hachette , appeared at the most desperate moment to fulfil a holy inission . One had the miraculous glory of delivering France from a foreign yoke , the other inflicted the disgrace of a retreat on a prince who , in spite of the eclat and extent of his power , was only a rebel and a maker of civil war . And yet , to what are these actions reduced ? They did nothing else than ahow to Frenchmen the road to honour and duty , and how to march in it at their head . Such
examples ajusi be honoured and perpetuated . And , therefore , I am happy to think that it was the Emperor Napoleon who , in 1806 , re-establisbed the ancient custom , so long interrupted , of celebrating the raising of the siege of Beauvaig . The reason was this , that for him France was not a factitious country born of yesterday , enclosed within the narrow limits of a single period or solitary party ; she was a nation which had become great by 800
jears of Monarchy , and not less great after ten years of revolution labouring for the fusion of all inter « t £ , ancient and modern , and accepting all iinds of glory without regard to time or cause . We hav * fully inherited these sentiments , ( or I behold here representatives of all parties ; they come iere , as I do , to render homage to the warlike virtue of a period to the heroism of a woman . { Loud applause . ) Let ns drink to the memory of Jeanne Hachett e !'
The speech was followed by loud and reiterated Wonts of * Vive . Napoleon «« Vive le President ! Fifteen copies only of the report of M . de Torque-Tide ue prated , to be placed in the hands of the members of the committee . The report is made sn : b much tact in the Republican aense , and has been approved by M . Odilon Barrot , M . de Corcellei , M . Baze , and M . de M « rnay , the four democratic members of the committee , thus placing M . de Broghe and the monarchists in a minority of opposition . The debate on it in the committee Commenced on Tnesday last .
Toequerilles report having heen , under the strictest seal of secresy , distributed to the members of Ihe Comsnitte of Revision , on Tuesday th e debate on the report commenced . It is understood from a private sonrce that this document is one of the most remarkable state papers ever issued from the national p rinting house . The elevation of its style and its philosophical tone will tend , it is said , to p ' ace it above the reach of the sharp criticism to which it will not fail to be subjected by the mo . narahsc psrtier . Even Odilon Barrot finds the . fcfiwvi Republican tone and severe adhesion to

legality earned to the verge of excess , and criticises it as less favourable to the President than a just consideration of his servici-s and a calm weighing of the circumstances of the crisis mig ht warrant . In a word Odilon Barrot finds his former colleague of the f oreign department too indulgent to the constitution . The report , although containing much that is to the advantage of Loais Napoleon , is likely to be regarded with little favour at the Elysee , from the decided and uncompromising protest against the least deviation from legality . This is in fact the nj-iSt i mportant feature of the document , De Tocqueville admits that there is a strong popular movement throughout the country in favour of the
re-election of the President , although he repudiates the number of signatures to the petitions as the fallacious test of public opinion . Hence he derives the pressing necessity for removing the dangerous contradiction between the possible decision of the nation and the dictates of the constitution . Many other vices exist no doubt in the constitution ; but this defect alone would be sufficient to call for revision . On the other hand , there is a general disposition throughout the country to regard the revision of the constitution a 3 the chief , if not only remedy for the universally prevailing distress , uneasiness ,
and alarm as regards ihe future . But if the revision cannot be obtained in a legal way , M . de Tocqueville expresses his most emphatic conviction that it 13 the duty of the Assembly to uphold without flinching the strict letter of the law , the least deviation from which opens a breach from the ruinous oveiflow of revolution , and sets all that has been gained by the party of order at hazard . And he says that the only bulwark between society and anarchy is the law , the arbitrary change of one iota , one comma of which destroys the virtue of the whole fabric , which will crumble immediatel y to pieces .
SWITZERLAND . The Federal Council of Switzerland has drawn up a decree for the execution of the railways proposed by Mr . Stephenson . One line ia to traverse the country from the lake of Constance to Geneva , passing by Zurich . A branch line is to run from this trunk line to the Basle Railway , to unite with the German and French lines . Another line ia to proceed from the laVe of Constance to Coire , in the Grisons , to be prolonged afterwards across ( he Alps by Luckmanier into Lomhardy . The total length of these lines is to 03 650 kilometres ( 405 } English miles ) , and the expense 102 , 123 , 000 / r ., or 157 , 112 fr . per kilometre .
ROME Accounts from Rome dated June 23 , state that all Rome is just now interested in the struggle between General Gemeau and the Papal authorities with regard to the occupation of the localities demanded by the former and refused by the latter , and , although force is on the side of the French , it is generally believed that they will have to knuckle under to the ecclesiastics in this as well as in so many other disputed points . The reply of President Bonaparte , to whom the litigant parties forwarded despatches , requesting him to arbitrate between their claims , arrived here two or three days ago , after having been ardently expected on
both sides . It appears that the French government , whilst protesting ita good- will towards the Holy see , and its firm determination to uphold the cause of religion , justifies the measures taken by General Gemeau , and explains the necessity and right of the Commander-in-Chief to insure the safety of his army by occupying positions of strategic impor . ance ; at the same time , if I am rightly informed , the general has been instructed not to push his claims so far as to take forcible possession of the Quirinal palace , if not voluntarily yielded up by his holiness . The independence of the sovereign is to be so far respected , that his apostolic residence is not to be actually , invaded by bis faithful allies .
iVa doubt , whatever concessiona are made by the French President to the coup of Rome , at the present juncture , must be mainly attributed to hie desire to conciliate the body of the clergy in France , and to make snre of their support in the approaching struggle for prolonged power on his part . The most simple way for the Pope to save bis palace from General Gemeau ' s clutches would , of course , be to remove into it himself ; but , unfortunately , he has had a most desperate aversion for the place ever since the memorable attack of the 16 th of November , 1848 ; besides which it would have rather too barefaced an appearance of defiance , if he were to step into it just when the French have
demanded it , as if to say , ' Now that I am inside , turn me out if you dare . ' There is , however , another method of arranging matters , which will save the decorum of his Holiness , and yet effect the purpose he has at heart . It has been mentioned , as a scheme likely to be realised , that , after the grand festival of St . Peter ' s , which takes place on the 29 th , the Pope will feel inclined for a little trip into the country , and will select his palace at Castel Gandelfo for a few day ' s villeygiatwa , after which he will return to Rome ; not , however , to the Vatican , but ro the Quirinal Palace , for which
change he will have an admiral pretext in the more lofty situation and purer air of the latter , it being well known to those who have any experience in this climate that there is more danger in going for a few days to the pure air of the hills , and then returning into the sluggish atmosphere of the lower parts of Rome , than in passing the summer months entirely in the capital ; so that the Qairinal would be considered as less different from the country than the Vatican , which is in a low unhealthy position . Preparations have been going on at the Quirinal Palace some time for the reception of hie Holiness .
All sorts of rumours are prevalent with respect te the arrival of freah troops , and two regiments are expected at Civita Vecchi , but up to the present moment we have no news of any having entered that port . The 53 rd of the line , whose officers objected to seeing French patrols headed by papal sbirri , is to be sent either to Africa or Coracia .
ITALY . The Milan official' Gazette' of the 30 th ult , contains the following : — The Republic of San Marino became , after the occupation of Ancona , and the re-establishment of the Holy See , the refugee of emigrants of all countries , and particularly those who formed the band of the celebrated Condottiere Garibaldi . They were then subsequently joined by a crowd of individuals guilty of common offences and crimes . The Pontificial Government having addressed remonstrances to that effect to that of San Marino , the latter not only acquiesced in the
demand to expel the political refugees as dangerous for the tranquillity of the adjoining provinces , belonging to the Holy See , but moreover agreed to deliver up to the Pontificial authorities the criminal offenders . The government of San Marino , with that view , applied for the assistance of the Austrian troops , who entered it * territory on the 25 th ult ., and evacuated it on the next day , the 26 th , at four o ' clock a . m .. The political refugees , thirty-three in number , awaited at Rimini means of conveyance to the places they had themselves chosen , and the other class of individuals were in the hands of justice .
GERMANY . We learn from Frankfort-on-the-Maine that a Leipzig journal contains the information that the military committee of the Diet will propose to the ' Engere Rath ' to concentrate two armies of observation On the banks of the Rhine , one being stationed on the left bank . Each of them to number 40 , 000 men and to be composed solely of Prussian troops . A third corps to be stationed in the North of Germany , as a kind of reserve for the arroiea oa the Rhine . All ihree to be paid and provisioned at the expense of the confederation .
The police in Dusseldorf have been engaged during the past week in active searchings after copies of the poet Freiligrath ' s * political and ( OCial lays ; ' not finding anything in the warehouses of the booksellers and printers , they intruded themselves into the dwelling of the poet himself , where their labour was equally vain . When will these absurd German governments learn that they only increase the importance of the works the ; seek to destroy by making them appear dangerous to the existence of a monarchy upheld by one hundred and fifty bayonets ?
The annual festivities which take place at Whitsuntide , in Frankfort , were unusually gay this season , from 20 , 000 to 30 , 000 persona of all ages were collected under the shade of magnificent beech and fir tree ?; some in large circles eating and drinking , which indeed seemed , to be the chief occupation of all ; others were cosily stretched in parties of six or ei ght under the cover of bushes , whose branches were b * nt towards each other at the top , so as to form a pleasant arbour ; many of the younger individuals were wandering in wellassorted couples through the by-paths of the forest . In the centre of the most frequented spot was an open space , roped off , within which countless batless ruddy youths were twirling partners of the other Bex , whose dusty white dresses and perapira-

tion-streaming faces , bore evidence of the intensity with which they sought to make a fatigue of pleasure . The less happy Frankfurters whom political events have driven from their homes and their annual picnic to labour in foreign countries , were not fargotten in the mirth of their old companions . Young women dressed ia while , accompanied by a man bearing a hat , appealed to the charitable nature of the participat > rs in this scene of fun ' for assistance for the German fugitives ; ' to receive
which a regular recognised committee was in a :-tendance . Many kreutzers and half-florins found their way into ' the hats . Throughout the whole day nothing unpleasant occurred in this vast assemblage of the very classes which German governments fear so much ; all was order , decency , and sobriety . A ot ono drunken man was seen . A case of robbery with violence did take plae < > , but the perpetrators belonged to the recognised keepers of order . Two Bavarian soldiers fell upon a lady and gentleman wandering in an out-of-the-way part of the forest , and ill-treated and robbed tbc latter of his watch and chain—a valuable commentary on the machines of government in Germany in general .
HAMBURG . July 2 . —Tho Assembly of Burgesses rejected , yesterday , a bill relative to new rigours against the press , which had been submitted by the Senate , DENMARK . A telegraphic despatch from Hamburg , of the 3 rd inst ., announces the receipt of intelligence from Copenhagen . The Danish ministry had given in its resignation en masse . The capital was much agitated . It is supposed that there will be modifications in the constitution of 1848 . Count MoMehas been charged vf \ th the reconstitmion oi the ministry , whose programme is to be complete unity of the Danish monarchy—the assimilation of Schleswig and Hoistein , Germany cannot , however , allow the absorption of Hoistein into Denmark .
SWEDEN AND NORWAY . The repeal of tfie clause of the fundamental law which prohibits Jews from settling in Norway , may probably lead to the conclusion that they are thereby permitted to settle in the country ; such is not the case . In order to prevent the Jews from acting upon a mistaken idea of this kind , the Swedish journals call particular attention to the fact , that the change introduced by the Storthing into thefundamental law is inefficient so long as the private law of the kingdom remains unchanged . So much , however , has been gained by the abolition of the obnoxious clause b y the Storthing , that the possibility of a change in the private law of the kingdom is contemplated . But till this has been done no Jew will be permitted to settle in the kingdom , and every Jew who visits the country must provide himself with the usual pass .
SPAIN . The following telegraphic despatch has been received , dated Madrid , 2 nd inst .: — ' Yesterday , at a late hour , M . Pidal presented to the Congress a proposition to delay the adoption of the regulation of the debt . Although it was unexpected , and several deputies of the majority were absent , the go vernment obtained a majority of 129 votes to 56 Nine members have to-day given their adhesions to the vote of the majority . '
GREECE . Accounts from Athens of the 24 th ult , received via Trieste , state that the Greek Senate had unanimously adopted a vote of censure on the ministry . The unanimity of the vote caused surprise , as only a few days before ten new senators had been Created .
TURKEY . Constantinople . — Cartal , a village on the Asiatic shore , opposite to Prince ' s Islands , had been completely destroyed by fire . The Sultan immediately sent Ismail Pasha , Minister of Commerce , to the spot to provide for the relief ol the inhabitants and ( he reconstruction of the town . Earthquake shocks continue at Rhodes and Makei . Stamboul , Jdne 23 , —The news from Bosnia , brought by the courier to-day , informs us that no traces of the rebellion exist . All is quiets
News from Odessa gives a report that 2 , 000 Russians , occupying a small isle in the roades of Astrabata , where the Russian flotilla of war is allowed to be stationed , have been suddenly attacked by the Turcomans of Stepes , and put to the sword ; and that at the same time three Russian men-of-war near the island were burned . This is supposed to be the first symptom of an alliance concluded between Chamil Bey and the Turcomans of Stepes , of China , and Bochara . Some are of opinion that the grandees of these countries have exercised influence over and driven the Turcomans to action .
THE KAFFIR WAR . The screw steamer Bosphorus arrived at Plymouth otv Monday at six p . m ., from the Cape or Good Hope , which she left on the 31 st of May . The aspect of affairs seems to have taken no definite turn in favour of either party . It was expected that by the time of the departure of the next packet some more decisive movement will have been made by Sir Harry Smith . The following is the monthly summary of the ' Cape Town Mail' of May 31 : —
' During the past month no military movements of great importance have taken place , but the war has heen gradually assuming an unfavourable aspect which has given rise to much anxiety . Sir Harry Smith has remained during the month at King William ' s Town , from which place he has continued to send out patrolling columns in different directions , constantly harassing the hostile Kaffirs , driving them from their strongholds , destroying their kraals , and occasionally capturing some of their cattle . Except in one instance , the Kaffir : have avoided an engagement with the troops , having been rendered by frequent defeats more cautious than they showed them * selves at the commencement of the war .
' While these movements have been going on in British Kaffraria , a sudden change of weather has occurred followed by important reeults . On the 4 th inst ., the drought which had before prevailed in and beyond the frontier districts was succeeded by heavy falls of rain in some places , and of snow in others . In and about Colesberg , the Orange River Sovereignty , and the mountainous parts of Kaffirland , the ground has been covered with snow , and the weather has been extremely inclement . The cattle and sheep in Albany and the neighbouring districts have perished by thousands . The Amatola mountains have been covered with snow to their bases , and the Kaffirs have been compelled to leave them
and drive their cattle to the low ground . Some , it would appear , have proceeded eastward , across the Kei ; others have driven their herds northward , into TambokieUnd ; and a considerable number have en . tered the colony across Keiskamma . Marauding bands of Kaffirs , more numerous and daring than they have before shown themselves , have within the past month spread over the frontier districts , from the Orange River to the sea . Several farmera have been killed in the district of Albert ; others have been obliged to quit their farms or camps and retire into the interior of the colony . In Albany , several farm-houses have been burnt , ia the vicinity of Graham ' s Town some waggon-trainB attacked , and numerous depredations committed . The Kat River
district and the adjoining country have been again occupied by the Kaffirs and rebel HottentotB , who have re-possessed themselves of Fort Armstrong , A body of them was attacked and routed , with considerable loss , by a Bmall force under Captain Fisher , the officer commanding at Eland ' s Post . Major-Genera ] Somerset himself subsequently moved into that district , with about 900 men , and took post in the Blinkwater , and afterwards at Philipton , in the Kat River settlement , but found himself still unable to check the ravages of the numerous hordes of marauders by whom the country was infested . The colonial patrols had also been active and frequently successful in pursuit of the plunderers , but were worn out by the incessant and labourioua exertions required of them .
WEST INDIA AND MEXICO . The Clyde arrived at Southampton on Sunday last . She brings fifty-four passengers ; amongst them is Lord Harris , late Governor of Trinidad . Amongst her cargo is specie to the amount of 884 , 864 dols . from Panama and Vera Cruz , of which 9 , 624 dols . are on account of Mexican dividend ; also ten cases of animals and birds , for the Zoolo . gical Gardens , as a present from Lord Harris . Onl y 200 , 000 dolf . of the specie brought home by the Clyde were from Mexico . From the Isthmus we learn that large numbers are leaving California , par .
ticularly since the fire . At Santa Martha there waB a rumour that two of Ihe provinces had openly revolted to annex themselves to the republic of Equador , and that a force of 10 , 000 men had been voted by the House of Assembly at Bogota to make war on that republic . From Demerara we learn that during the last fortnight the weather in the colony had been dull and wet . The only important event that had occurred was the bringing forward of a motion by an unofficial member of the Court of Policy on the eubject of reform .

AMERICA . The Royal Mail steam-ship America arrived at Liverpool on Monday morning at six o ' clock , bringing the mails from the United States , Canada , and the lower provinces . She left Boslon on the 25 th , and Halifax on the 27 th , andbring 3 ninety . six passengers , with intelligence by papers and telegraph down to the 27 th . A treaty has been formed between several of the tribes of Califomian Indians and the United States Commissioners , by which the former bind
themselves to refrain from all acts of aggression on the whites , and aUo to live on peaceful terms with the other Indian tribes . They relinquish the title to the lands they held , and consent to occupy four townships between the Mercedo and Tuolumne Rivers . The United States agree to provide for the comfort of the Indians , to cherish the arts of peace , and to furnish the means of education and improvement ; The day after the execution of the treaty , the Indians removed to their new homes , under the superintendence of the commissioners .
The conflagration in San Francisco was of a very destructive character , but perhaps not to the extent that was at first anticipated . Nearly all the goods which were on shore , and the buildings in which they were Btored , were consumed . The business portions of San Francisco are completely destroyed , with the exception of a few solitary warehouses at each extremity of the city .
