In a second edition, last evening, we gave a sum mary of the news by the overland mail, which brings dates from Chinn, March 20; Calcutta, April 9; Madras, April 12; Bombay, April la. The news frau Calcutta is important, in a commer cial point of vies•. The liability of the shareholders of the Union Hank of Calcutta for the acts of its officers in the matter of the issue of post-hills, has been a second time determined by the judges of the Supreme Cuurt. This decision, which was fully I expected, will increase the liabilities of the unfortunate shareholders in the sum of upwards of 170,000/. Th directors of the bank have commenced proceedings against their debtors, one of the first results of which has been the insolvency of the firm of Carr, Tagore, and Co.. who were in their books to the extent of upwards of 40,0001. During the last year of the bank's existence postbills to the extent of upwards of 500,0001. had been issued. The shareholders, meanwhile, have not answered the calls made on them by the direct-ers for contri butions and loans, and it is difficult to see where the matter will end. The creditors of the bank have determined on proceeding to extremi ties ; and it is said the bank is about furnish ing them with a list of its debtors, leaving it to themselves to choose the parties on whom they will pounce for payment of their claims. The results of this measure may easily be foreseen. The richest will be selected and made the victims of the mistnanaxement and fraud practised in their names by many who have already declared themselves bankrupt, and thus escaped further annoyance. At a meeting of the shareholders recently held, the executive committee reported that only 26,000ra. I on account of the contribution on shares, and 20,000r5. on account of the forced loan, had been paid in since the former meeting, a month before! With re sliest to the firm of Carr, Tagore, and Co., it I virtually, in Jar uary last, ceased to exist as a trading house, and was continued only "in liquidation," but with every prospect of a speedy and satisfactory winding-up of its affairs. Great losses-23 lace within the list two yeara—had, however, been sus tained from the ilepreciation of indigo, silk, and other factories, in which the funds of the house were prin cipally invested, and of Union Bank shares, of which Dwarkanauth 'Fevre and his successors were large holders. Nevertheless, much had been e'one towards clearing eft' the liabilities of the firm, which have thus been reduced to little more than twenty-five hies of rupees. Latterly, however, the difficulties in the way of realising the assets of the firm, and the pressure of several heavy demands, especially those incurred by the connection of the house with the Union Bank, rend, red the effort to carry on, under the arrangement of January, utterly hopeless. Teem was nothing left, then, but for !taboos, Debeademank, and Grindernaath Tagore to call the creditors of the house together, and lay their case before them. This was done, and the con- cern has been placed under trustees, the gentlemen appointed to that office being Messrs. It. C. Jenkins, F. It. Hampton. and Itamanauth Trgere, a brother of the late Dearkanauth. The trust is to hold for three years. Thirty-five of the principal mercantile firms in Cal cutta have represented to the government " the evils which they consider inseparable from the system of advances by the government on the hypothecation of produce shipped to England, and the benefit that Would attend the more simple mode of placing funds j‘ltra • • I _,. Mr.."^ L 7 &/ Givt r ~~ ~• in England, by the solo of bills on the Court of Directors. In the meantime government have notified that the present st sytem wal continue during the official jeer 1848.9 ; and tho amount hk..ly to be required is stated at 700,0001., at the ticking(' of Is. 10d. per rupee. S.r Henry Pottinger arrived at Madras on the ith April, and immediately assumed the government of that ore eider: y. Affairs in the Khond •isturbed districts at length begin to look up : Colonel Campbell's tour in Hoed his been attenile d with the happiest results. Welt of the people have returned to their homes, and a large number of Mmiahs (i.e. children, intended for sacrifices) has been surrendered voluntarily into his hands by the chiefs, who had nearly all tendered their submission. The :t arch-fiend" Chokra Bissye had competely given his pursuers the go-bee, and his whereabouts was a mystery to all. 'lt was at the same time known that he had been so hard pressed that he had been obliged to disband his few remaining adherents, and es cape with but a few to some hiding-place where we could not follow him, even did we know where he was. Tat he is in our hands, of course, the per manent tranquillity of the country cannot be looked fur. Hunted as he has been, it iv possible:he may ere long surrender himself into our hands. A considerable amount of sickness had manifested itself amongst the troops above the gleams, and our agent, Lieutenant M.Vicear, had been seriously indisposed. Gen. Frazer, having obtained Mayo to Singapore, has been temporarily succeeded in the Hyderabad presidency by Col. Low. This lust officer has reached Hyderabad, and as a matter of course had an audience of the Nizam, by whom he is said to leave been must cordially received—hence the deduction that matters will soon assume a healthier aspect. It is certainly natural to infer that things will go on better where friendship prevail* than where Jealousy or dislike holds sway ; but, till the present prime minister has been dismissed. and some one more in the con fidence of both the prince and our resi dent has been appointed in his stead, any material amendment cannot be looked for. The Nizarn's treasury is empty, and the pay of his con tingent greatly in retreats, the troops at Aurungabad only having received their pay fur December in the present month. Our dates from I longkong are to the 30th of March inclusive. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer arrived on the '!llth of that month, when the new governor, Mr. Bonham, landed with all the honours. Matters in Canton continued quiet, though early in the month appearances were unfavourable, owing to an 'affray at Whampoa between some Ameri cans and Chinese:, which however was hashed up. A fatal accident, near Canton, by which a Chinaman lost his life, was satisfactorily explained without any official notice being required. The I 1 criminals seized for aiding in the December murders had re ceived their sentences of punishment. At Shanghai we have to report some grave events. Early in the month three English missionaries were attacked, beaten, and severely wounded, by some grain-junk men out of employ. They were rescued by the well-disposed resident Chinese, and taken to their boats, and returned to Shanghai. Her Majesty's Consul demanded that the ringleaders should be produced end identifies!, in order that they might be punished. The Chinese authorities being rather tardy in meeting the consul's detnands for redress, he issued three notifications, and finally laid an embargo on a number of grain-junks laden with rice for the north, with the view of forcing the authorities into a compliance with his demands. At the latest date from Shanghai, the 19th of March, her Majesty's ships Childers and EripMgle were before the town, and all English ships had been ordered to be in readiness to assist, and the embargo then continued in force. It is to be hoped no collision has taken place, and the late advises lead us to expect an amicable settlement of the matter : but it had been deemed prudent to send up her M ijesty's steamer Fury, which sailed on the 29th of March for Shanghai. (From the Bunibay Times.) The most important items of our intelligence con tinue to be commercial. Judgment has been given in the Su preme Court at Calcutta in favour of the validity of poet. hills, issued to the extent of above a million sterling, by the Union Bans. Though not only nut recognised by the charter, but en contravention of its provisions, the existence of post-bills was known to the sksreholders—their issue was acquiesced in by their acceptins a share of the profits realised on them, and their validity was believed in by those who accepted of them, and therefore in equity they are held valid. The soundness of the vieve of the aunt seems generally sequiercecl in, though at variance with the opinions previously given by counsel. This will maintain or extend the responsibilities of the shareholder in proper tiun as it protects the interests of the bill owners. The prospects of the bank seem tee darken on every side: the shareholders hold hack in stolid apathy, while the creditors are beginning to push their claims with relentless determination. The debtors of the bank, and those who have literally made away with a couple of millions of its funds, are treated with • gentleness and forbearance which contrast singularly with the warmth with which the unhappy shareholders are urged on. Mr. Ayrton, attorney, hes been seat round by the Commercial Bank eef Bombay, to insist on early payment of the 40,0001. of ita funds appropriated to their own uses by the Union Bank when sent to them for the purchase of bills on England. The members of the Calcutta bar have unanimously re fused to hold briefs along with Sir. T. Tartan. — Mr. Grant, sun of the late Justice Sir J. P. Grant, seems, to be in not much better favour, and for kindred reasons.— The firm of Carr, Ter re and Co.. of Calcutta, have become insolvent. The liabilities of the house amount to 2.54,6201. and the wets to 290,e19.11. The houses of Barlow and Co. and H. Adam and Co., at the Mauritius, have declared themselves insolvent. Their liabilities respectively are 337,96.1 dole. and '2,378.293 dots , and assets,lo7,Boodols. and 1,043,580 dole. Islam Khan, the Boogtie Chief, who sur rendered himself in Sept. last after the brilliant actios of Lieut. Merewether, and who had been located by government on the rich lands near Lerkaaah, has fled with his family to the hills. The Dewan of Mooltan is said to have agreed to surrender to the Lahore state the lease by which he at present holds this very valuable district—Her Majesty's 10th Regiment of Foot had moved into the new barracks built far them at Anarkullee. The weather was warm, but the health of the troops was excellent.— A subscription for a testimonial to Lord liardinue is presently in pea lgem throughout the northern division of the Bombay army. —The troops have been directed to withdraw from the hill country during the sickly season. His High ness the Rajah of Satter& died on the fith inst. He leaves no heirs behind him, and the country lapses to the British government : its net revenues amount to 150,0001. a-tear. It will for the present, it is understood, be placed under a commission. jjt (1443t1,5 542 J LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 24, 1848. i THREEPENCE IMPORTS rifle suanr.

The obstruction to the reform movement, offered last night in the house of Commons, by one party, and the extr mrdinary dec'aration of another that the middle and working classes do not desire such reforms as are advocated by the reform league, have given rise to the following letter from Mr flume, which he has forwarded to us for publica ton : TO THE REFORMERS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. House or COMMONS, MIDNIOIIT, MAY 23, 1818. GP.STLEMEN,—You are aware that th; evening was fixed for bringing forward that important motion respecting the reform of the representation which had been decided on after much consideration and communication with the reformers of the country, as beet adapted to conciliate and unite the largest amount of public opinion. A previous motion of Lord George Bentinek's has occu pied the attention of the house until after 11 o'clock, when it appeared •o myself mid friends around me that it was too late to secure for the question that discussion to which it is entitled; and I have therefore been compelled to postpone the motion to the 20th June, that being the earliest vacant day on the order hook of the house. The Prime Minister having seized this opportunity of stating, in his place, that neither the middle nor the working class of this country are favourable to the reforms of which I had given notice, the delay will afford you, the reformers of the United Kingdom, the means of making known your op . nions and wishes in the usual constitutional manner. — I remain your obedient humble servant, JOSEPH HUME. IRELAND. DUBLIN, MAY 23.—Sir C. O'Loughlen moved to day to quash the indictment against Mr. Mitchel, on technical grounds, but the motion was refused. Coun sel then asked for leave till to-morrow to plead, but it was decided that the prisoner should plead at once, and be at liberty to withdraw that plea and demur, if so advised. Mr. Mitchel then pleaded " Not Guilty." The trial comes off on Thursday. Mr. 1). Reilly, whose arrest we announce elsewhere, was admitted to bail. ARRIVAL OF SIR 11. L. BULWER. Sir Henry Lytton Bulwer arrived this morning at Dover from Boulogne, and proceeded to Loudon by the GIL 15m. train. NEWS FROM PARIS. DISSENSIONS IN THE EXECUTIVE. DEPARTURE OF THE BRITISH MINISTER FROM MADRID. PARIS. TUFADAT, 101 A report prevails this morning that internal dissen sion has broken out between the members of the exe cutive commission, and that it is about to fall to pieces. Such a catastrophe is likely to he accelerated by the nndissembled distrust manifested towards it by the Assembly. The claims of the executive com mission to be entrusted with the external guard of the assembly has been unanimously rejected. It was announced that, in the event of the claim to be absolved from the duties of representatives being rejected—and it has been—the executive commission would resign. If this resolution be persevered in, the internal dissensions will no doubt issue in the immediate dissolution of the present executive power. A report prevails that M. Cremieux has resigned the Ministry of Justice, and will be replaced by M. Itlethmont. Tne committee on the constitution, of which M. Cormeuin is president, sits daily f 4. several hours. M. Corrnenin has been authori-ed to prepare a draft of a constitution. M. Lameniiais (who it will be recollected lately published a projert of a constitu tion for the republic) has resigned his seat in the commission. From this it may he inferred that the ideas of the ex-Abbe are not in harmony with those of the majority of the committee. M. Rethmont is engaged to defend Gen. Courtaw. M. Jules Fabre is to defend Barnes. Deerees were s'gned jesterdsy by the executive commission di solving the clubs of which Itarbes and lihtterti were presidents. '1 he Minister of the In terior is ordered to execute these decrees immediately. There appears in the Mora/era of this morning a decree of the executive commission, appointing the 4th June for the election of toe representatives for : the seats vacated by multiple elections, resignations, and elections annulled. The number of elections thus to be made is 49. MADRID.—The Madrid mails of the 17th and I 18th arrived this morning, by which I received letters from our correspondent in that capital, announcing the fact that the Spanish government had sent pass ports to Sir Henry Bulwer, who was in the act of leaving for London, accompanied by his entire diplo matic suite, when our correspondent closed his de spatches. The pretext for sendint passports to the British , minister, as declared in an official document sent with' the passports, is the alleged fact that documents and correspondence had come into the hands of the government, proving that Sir Henry Bul wee had encouraged and fomented the re cent revolts against the government, and especially that of Seville below mentioned, and in general that he had intrigued with the progressist party against the moderados. It was further added that the people of Madrid had become so exasperated against the British minister that the government could not answer for his personal safety. A serious military insurrection broke out at Seville on the 13th, which was headed by several officers. The captain-general of Andalusia took active mea sures for its repression, and after a severe conflict, it appears that the government remained masters of the lield,although they had by far the worst of the lighting. They were driven out of the suburbs of Triana, in which the revolted took up a position at half-past two in the morning ; and their attempt to follow the insurgents, when these retreated on the road to Auelva, was completely unsuccessful. No intelligence had yet been received as to the ultimate result of the conflict which could be relied on. The government accounts represent it however as having ended in the complete defeat of the re volted. I'.S.—Sir H. Bulwer and suite left for London on the evening of the 18th. Mr. Otway, the principal attache, remained iu charge of the embassy. All the rest of the cillarlti , s accompanied the minister. Mr. Brackenbury, the British consul, also remained. The Conde de Mirasole was en the point of depar ture for London, commissioned by the government to eater into explanations with Lord Palmerston en this subject.

Our import market re-opened after the holidays with an improved feeling and much steadiness for most dean iptions of Marcbester goods, the market for which has continued progreseively improving, and our quotations show an advance in the prices of several of the staple fabrics above those of the previous month. Mule twist, Nos. 30, 40, and fel, maintained their position during the greater portion of the perad now under review; but latterly the market for this branch of imps rta has slackened, and sales could at present only be effected by submitting to somewhat lower rates.

The entire line of the quays on the south bank adjoining the chamber was occupied by bodies of troops (horse and foot ) 'fhe quays on the opposite side extending from the bridge in either direction, were occupied by battalions of the Guard Mobile. On entering the precincts of the legislative palace, 1 found it literally swarming with soldiers, consisting of infantry of the line, cavalry, and artillery. Artillery-men stood ready mounted on the hones harnessed to the ammunition waggons in the court. Every room, hall, and passage in the palace, ex cept the hall of the Chamber itself, and the committee room., were absolutely crammed with soldiers; there was no moving except through narrow alleys of fixed bayonets. The cause of these extraordinary preparations was probably the debate appointed for to-day on Italy and Poland, the topics which had already served as a pretext for the outra,e of the 15th. A pamphl-r, by M. Thiers, is, I understand, in the I I press, and will appear in a few days; the title of it is 1" Dc la Constitution—De la Situation—De l'Avenir.' I am assured that in this manifesto M. Thiers explicitly declares that he was always an ardent partisan of I constitutional monarchy, as the form of government best suited to guarantee liberty and prosperity to the French people ; but that, if anything were wanting to give increased strength to that conviction , _ all that has taken place in Fiance since the 24th February has most amply supplied it : in a word (if my infor mation be correct, and I have reason to believe it is sa), M. Thiers will proclaim himself a more ardent advocate than ever of a system of constitutional monarchy ; not such a system, indeed, as that es tablished since the Revolution of July, but one in which the sovereign would leave the real direction of the affairs of the country to responsible ministers, and would be completely excluded trom that interference and meddling which has cost Louis Philippe his throne. The business of the Chamber to-day was conducted with rat) er more appearance of decency . and order than has hitherto been observed. Much interest was , excited, rad a large att °dance both of members and strangers, attracted by the twofold announcement of the explan .tions of M.Lamartine on Italy and Poland, and of the probable resignation of some or all of the members ot the Executive Commission. The energy of the President, M. Buche z, in his efforts to maintain order and subdue the unruly aspirants, was worthy of all praise, though it might perhaps have produced equal effect, with a less amount of physical exertion. In one case, not content with tolling his bell more resolutely than any London postman, he struck that instrument of order against his desk with such a momentum as to produce upon it the effect which he desired to produce upon some of the representatives— viz., to render it completely mute. A Hussier was accordingly sent to procure a sound one ; but, such is the force of habit, that the respectable President in the interval wielded the broken bell just as energeti cally as if its tongue were uninjured. Several general officers, in full uniform, were seen during the day moving about the Cbamber : among them we observed General Caraignac, Bareguay &Hillier, Negrier, Foucher, and I)uponcy. Alarming rumours were circulated in the Salle des Conferences, to the effect that a body of armed opera tives had assembled at the Barrios. A report is circulated to-day that a demonstration was intended to be made by a body of operatives in favour of a regency. I may observe, in passing, that the regency party gains strength daily. I learn that government has received a telegraphic despatch, announcing, that a new revolutionary move ment bad taken place at Naples, but had been speedily repressed by the troops. Another telegraphic despatch says that a bloody conflict has taken place at Toulon, between the troops and the operatives of the dockyards, the latter of whom had seized the arsenal. On the 22nd, the situation of Lyons was very alarming. Almost all the barricades which had been erected are still standing, with the exception of those near the Bernardino.

NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.—TUESDAY. The sitting commenced at one o'clock. M. BASTIDE, Minister of Foreign Affairs, announced that the congiess of the United States had addressed congratu lations to the French Republic, on the formation of the new government. In return for this Cern mstration, the first which had yet been made in diplomatic annals, the minister proposed to name a commission to prepare an address in reply. This was referred to the Committee on Forego Affairs. An incident occurred at this moment, the President having given up to the Minister of War the command of the troops, General PARAGUAY D'BILLIER tendered his resignation of commandant or the forces within the palace. " I will serve (said he) under the orders of the Minister as one of his"— A Voice. —As one of his friends GEN. B. DMILLIER.—Nev..r otherwise. Explanations were demanded on the subject of the Pre sident. M. LAROCKEJACQUELIN thought that this gave rise to a liuoeswtte. Assembly h G ad ene n r a al m t i ae G ef g n n e al l B. D'Hillier , commandant, in his place. lies an order of the President then the force to destroy a decree of the Muir bly ? The PRESIDENT protests against such a supposition. M. CAVAIONAC: The Pr sident doubtless had no other motive than to merge a special appointment in the central military authority. M. BUCHEZ: I should regret—deeply regret—to have oc casioned pain to my bray • friend Gen. Baraguay d'aillier. Gen. Bairrovav dlimiten insists on giving his resig nation. This was finally accepted, and a vote of thanks passed to the General unanimously. The order of the day on Italy and Poland was then taken. M. D'Ansoos : I shall renounce the questions I intended to put as to Italy, alter the recent events at Vienna. M. WOLOWSKI: The delegates of the Polish cause have come to me •o protest against the attempt for which the name of Poky d has served as a pretext. , He then endeavoured to combat the prejudices which Prevail against Poland, and to show that di.ordtr does not exist in the country, and concluded by saying that there was no question between the German people and the French on the subject of Poland. It is not (said he) against Ger many we ought to succour Poland ; it is lei:A Germany. The Speaker was listened to with much attention. M. Cartes proposed to make a declaration to the German Parliament at Frankfurt in favour of Poland. M. SARRANS delivered a speech on the subject of Poland, w.th but little effect. M Gum:nano thought that the best means of re-consti tuting Poland was, not by armed intervention, but by con vinc'.ng Germany of the real importance cf the republican principle. M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE next mounted the tribune, and as he stood in that elevated and conspicuous position, produced the most strange effect by his extraordinary resemblance both in face and figure to his uncle, the Emperor. One would almost have imagined that Napoleon bad risen from the tomb, restored at once to life and youth. There was the same short stooling figurn, the same cadaverous colour, and the identical profile, still rendered familiar to every eye on the coin of the empire. The effect on the Assembly itself was remarkable. Although there was nothing pretending to claim extraordinary attention in what the young Prince said, he was nevertheless listened to with the most profound and curious attention. He opposed any attempt at addressing the Diet at Frankfort, and recommended that the Assembly should instruct the Execu tive Commission to consult respecting such measures as might PoPer; dimuld, PO pope[. [Lord Palmerston stated last evening—u will he seen by reference to our parliamentary report—that Sir Henry's de parture from his pat did not stile from any rupture between the courts of Madrid and St. James's.] ITALY.—lntelligence from the Sardinian head quarters, at Somma Compagna, dated May 17, states that vit , lent rain prevented the attack on Peschiera, which had been fixed for that day. At Florence, on the 19th, was officially published the decree outing the states of Moma, Carrara, and territories of the Lunigiana and Garfognana to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. FLIGHT OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA. Accounts from Vienna, of the 18th inst.,_state that on the night of the 17th the Emperor and Empress quitted Vienna in an open carriage. They were loudly cheered by the people, and it was generally supposed that their Majesties were merely taking a drive. An hour later the imperial travelling carriage, and at 9 o'clock several other six horse imperial carriages, convinced all that the imperial family had suddenly quitted the city. Early next morning the fact was made known by a proclamation of the ministry of l'illersdorf, who continue in office ad interim at the earnest solicitation of the Emperor and the University. The following is the proclamation issued by the ministers. . . . . This evening at 9 o'clock a verbal expectedly received by the ministers, that his Majesty the Emperor, aecompanied by the Empress and his Highness the Archduke Francis Charles and his Consort, and the three princes, had, for the sake of his health, quitted the imperial city and taken the route to lonsbrusk. The undersigned ministers, who are unacquainted with the origin and other circumstances of this journey , feel themselves called upon to make known the fact to the inhabitants of the capital. The ministers deem, d it their first duty to send off during the night by the commandant of the national guard, Count Horai, a person worthy of all confidence, en urgent entreaty to his M ,jesty the Emperor either to return immediately, or by an op-n statement of the circumstances which render it impolvable, to quit his loving bull-eta. A similar urgent request has been forwarded to the Archduke through the resident, Count Wilczek. The council of mi nisters et this momentous crisis deems it a sacred duty to dedicate its undivided care and attention to the weal of the country ; and upon its own responsibility so to act as eircumatences mar demand. The cip-operation of their fellow burghers and all right.minded men will enable them to maintain peace and order, and to allay all apprehensions. Whatever information the ministers may receive on the sub ject shill instantly be faithfully and circumstantially made known; and so soon as they shall receive any direct com mission or communication it shall be published instanter. The ministers, pr.) tem :—Ptuattanotee, SOMMARI:OA, Italle, LATOUR DOBLHOFF, BAT: SIOARTNER. It is very remarkable that the If 7ener Zeitung, the official paper, says not a word on the subject. The intelligence that the Emperor had quitted the city had produced the greatest excitement; the in habitants aro unanimously for the Emperor and the maintenance of the constitutional monarchy. Several ill-advised young men took advantage of was 1111- the confusion which prevailed to proclaim the repub lic; hat the people were excessively exasperated, fell upon them, and would have hanged them if the na tional guard had not interfered most en( rgetically and rescued them. All are acting in concert for the speedy restoration of order, and a deputation has been sent to the Emperor, expressing the universal desire that he will come back immediately. His return is expected with loyal confidence in the imperial city. It is stated thatthe central committee of the national guard have requested ministers to retain their posts. The ministers, through their organ in the press, the Wiener-Zeitung, have intimated that they cannot comply with such a request. This journal argues that the movement of the lab, by which the attri buti m of the character of the crnstitaent assembly to the Diet about to be elected, and the resolution to convoke only one chamber, were forced upon the government, was a direct aopeal from ministers as unworthy of confidence to th o throne. It declares that the person of the Emperor is safe, and therefore any ministers who can hold office may be appointed withot t danger. There is no hazard in a change of ministry, but there would be hazard in retaining a suspected and unpopular ministry. The maintenance tot the throne, it declar' s, is the great object to which all efforts must be directed. beat eanineo to tkao ro, of Poland, and to fora a legion composed of Polish exiles. M LASIARTINE Said it was always is matter of :trivet for an assembly such es this, and for a stab salon, to have to touch upon the bleeding sorrows of a friendly psople. Already, very frequently. both France and Great id: Rain have endeavoured to alleviate the misfortunes of -Po land. Republican France has not escaped this difilealty, though by her special constitution, she has more hope, more anxiety, and, if it may be mid without offence to Europe, more desire than other people to arrive at a solution of the Polish question. Of this desire the l'rovisional Government rendered itself the organ during Its first days, as witness the &ace for the formation of a Polish legion. This decree has not been executed, and I shall not say why. I respect the mis fortunes of Poland; I shall not pronounce a word from this tribune that can afflict this people. or enfeeble its c rurage. Scarcely had we entered upon affairs, than we had to encounter questions of magnitude, which were to be resolved in order to establish the new relations of France with foreign nations. The first question, th it of the general attitude of our country, pre-occupied us. We had but one thought—and it was a duty—not to abuse tho absence of toe Chamber but await your accession, in order to restore to you intact the trust which was confided to us. To leave to you the sovereign judgment of peace or war, and, in awaiting this calmly, we decided not to excite provocation. M. Lamartine here recalled the principal points of his programme of foreign policy, and said that the Chamber would recognise histhoughts in these words. (Cries of " Yes, yes.") If any one in the Assembly, or without it, considers that these words do not bear sufficiently the impress of dignity and patriotism, we would recall wr three facts which have falsified, in spite of °unc t le. o , o the conduct which we desired to pursue. I would recall to remembrance the different invasions attempted in defiance of the Provi sional Government, the invasions of Belgium and Savoy. I would recall the legitimate sympathy of the Germans for us, repulsed by our own bayonets. Behold what has given rise to so much irritation and heartburning : I will now recur to the remarks of M. d'Aragon, and principally to those which refer to Italy. He speaks of feebleness, of faults committed, of a sort of connivance at Austrian policy. These are some of those unworthy calumnies by which it is sought to tarnish the Provisional Government ; but we await with patience the event which will destroy these calumnies. The old government, obliged by its recent impolitic con ' nexions with Spain, to favour Austria, opposed itself te I Italian independence. That policy has to en completely changed, and already you behold its effses. The kingdom of Naples deity becomes more demreratie. Rome verges on republicanism. Tuscany aids in promo dog Italian unity ; MI, in one word, Italy is at th is moment almost entirely delivered from the power of Austria Let Italian independence be menaced; let that sacred right be denied. and France, which speaks aloud to friends and foes, will cross the Alps to mist in establishing that nationality. (Prolonged bravos). If you doubt it, I request that you will permit me to read teyou the testimony of many Italian patriots. It has been said in this Chamber that our presence is required in Italy, and it is added that, in condescension to Europe, we dare not express our sentiments in favour of Italian nationality Land yet we have not merely spoken—we have acted. Rave we not at the foot of the Alps an army of 30,000 men, an army which in • few days may be augmented to 61,000 men ? We have awaited in arms the call of Italy. M. Lamartine then read a letter from the Sardinian Arc b sea. dor. The letter stated that the Natiocal Guard bad been suffi , ;ient to put down the insurrection attempted in Savoy ; that the Sardinan government hid never suspected that France connived at the conduct of the insurgents; and that the proof of this existed in the ease with which the moor meat hadbeen suppressed. The h tter also stated that any pre mature interf , rence on the part of France would pro duce bad effects for the Italian people ; and that France would be lonised of being in Italy for her own interests only. He then read other letters, expres sive of the same confidence and the same sureeptie bilities. In one of these documents the Sardinian government complained of the formation of an Italian Legion in France, and expressed fears that it might give rise to some embarrassments. The ape iker then addressed himself to the Polish question, and read the sub stance of the recommendations addressed to his agents at the northern courts. The nest part of the discourse of M. Lamartine went to show that France could do nothing for Poland in the absence of money and soldiers. France could only s epees her sympathy for tnat unfortunste country, and encourage her to mut patiently till a favourable opportunity should present itself for her regeneration, meanwhile France would aid her by all pacific means. The Assembly could judge, from the state ments submitted to them on this subject, whether the go vernment of February had neglected any means at their disposal to arrive at a happy result.
