APPROPRIATION OF THE RAILWAYS BY GOVERNMENT. PARIS, THURSDAY, 104 A.M. In my letter of last evening I informed you that the directors of the railway companies had been sum moned by the Provisional Government to hear the conditions on which , t was proposed that they should surrender to the state their entire interest in these enterprises. They accordingly assembled last night at the Hotel of the Minister of Finance, and I am enabled to send you a report of what passed, on the accuracy of which you may place the most im plicit reliance. The minister informed the companies that the go vernment contemplated purchasing their interests on one or other of three conditions, and he proceeded to unfold these three projects of appropriation. In all the three it is proposed that the state shall take im mediate possession of all the railways in France, finished or unfinished ; that the latter shall be com pleted by the state, and that all shall be henceforward conducted and worked ander the exclusive control and to the exclusive profit of the state. The several pro jects differ one from another only in the mode of in demnifying the companies. The indemnity in every case is to be paid for in goVernment stock. The question then is, at what. price the government stock to be given to the com panies is to be estimated on the one hand, and at what price the railway shares to be purchased from the companies by the government are to be estimated on the other. All the three projects agree that the same standard of estimation is to be applied to t'-e one and to the other—to the indemnity on the one hand and to the shares on the other. By the first project it is proposed that both shall be taken at the prices they had upon the Bourse on the lath February, nine days before the revolution. By the second, the prices are to be those of the 4th of April, forty days after the revolution; and, by the third, the prices are to be the average of those of the six months immediately preceding the revolution. Such are the projects of the Minister of Finance, communicated, as I have said, to the directors of the companies. But it must be understood that these projects of the Minister of Finance have not yet been discussed by the other members of the government. They are to be taken into consideration at a council of the government to be held this evening, and the measure will most probably be definitively settled on or before Saturday. I have reason to know that another of the ministers intends this evening to present a fourth pro jest differing from those of the Minister of Finance as to the form in which the indemnity is to be paid to the companies. He proposes that the actual value of the indemnity to be paid, whatever it may be, shall be commuted into an annuity for such a period of years as the companies respectively by the terms of their original concessions would have enjoyed the profits of the enterprises. It is calculated that the amount of capital still re quired to complete all the unfinished lines is about 16,000,000 sterling, or 900,000,000 f. By the ori ginal contracts between the companies and the state 364,000,000 of this amount would have to be sup plied by the companies, and 536,000,000 by the state. The Minister of Finance has issued an order declaring that the delays and faculties accorded by the decree of March 8, and extended by that of March 17, for having all bills, orders, and other mat ters requiring to be stamped, vised, and legalised, are again extended to May 24, inclusively. Preparations have been commenced for a magnifi cent national fete, which is to take place shortly in the Champ-de-Mars, for the presentation of the colours of the republic to the national guard, the army, and the garde mobile. The whole proceedings will ter minate by a banquet of 100,000 persons, which dele gates from the several bodies just mentioned will par take of, as well as the members of the Provisional Government. M. Horace Vernet was yesterday elected Colonel of the national guard of Versailles. The Mayor of Paris has just ordered that the build ings belonging to the stables of the old Civil List, in the Faubourg du Ronle, shall be appropriated to workshops for the state. P.S. Disturbances have taken place at Toulouse. The Club ht Vd.r des People went tumultuously to the Prefecture to demand arms for the workmen under the conduct of the president of the club. The national guard hastened from all quarters, while cries of "To arms !" resounded on all sides. The insur rectionists were put to flight, and part of them arrested. By the order of the Provisional Government, the Trench rl ar,p% d' affairs at Turin has assured the Sar dimas minister of foreign affairs that the French go vernment was unacquainted with the movement which had taken place at Chambery ; and further, that any new aggression will be contrary to its earnest desire to maintain amicable relations with Sardinia. The Sardinian Government at once officially acknowledged this assurance through 14. E. Arago, the Commissary at Lyons. Ring Charles Albert has nominated the new senators of the kingdom at Cremona. Among them are the following: M. de Brignole, ambassador in France ; M. de San Marsano, formerly minister of foreign affairs; M. le Prince della Cistern; M. de Villamarina, formerly minister of war; MM. Ricci et Kiffra, bankers; M. Vincent Gioberti; and MM. eltaeglio. On the morning of the Gth, the Florentine troops mt . out for Lombardy, having first gone through a roltgious and military ceremony, at which were pre lent the Grand Dulte, with the entire Court and ministry. We have received Madrid mails of the 7th. The Duke and Duchess of Montpensier arrived there at five in the afternoon of the 6th. The Queen Isabella and Queen Christina went to meet them at some distance from Madrid. They were to leave for Vista Alegre, about a league from Madrid, on the 7th. M. Olozaga,who had been sent as prisoner to Cadiz, eacaPed at Cordova from the officers who had him in cry, and no trace of him has since been discovered. Athices from Catalonia mention the revival of the insurrection there.

LONLBARDY.—The advices of this morning are not more recent in date than those which I sent in the postcript of my letter of yesterday, but I am enabled to supply some further particulars. lip to the Gth, no engagement of any importance had taken place. At Mantua General Walmoden had under his command a body of 12,000 men. The Sardinian troops were advancing and taking up their positions on the right bank of the Mincio. At the Sardinian heed quarters it was not expected that any serious engagement could take place - before the 9th. It was conjectured that Radetsky was wait ing for reinforcements from Austria. The division commanded by General Walmoden, occupying Mantua, was said to be incapable of taking any part in a general action.' Almost surrounded by the Piedmontese troops, it was menaced in the rear by General Durand°, who was advancing from Rovigo with a corps of Roman and Tuscan auxiliaries, including 6,000 Swigs of the Pontifical army. It was also menaced in another direction by the Venetian &oxalates descending upon it from Padua under Sanfermo. The danger in fine appeared imminent that the Austrian line would be broken above Mantua, and the left of the reserve cut off from the main body. In case of extreme necessity it was said to be the intention of Radetzki to throw his entire forces into the fortresses of Mantua and Verona, and there wait the arrival of reinforcements from Vienna. Letters have been received from Naples at Milan which somewhat damped the hopes which had been entertained of considerable aid from that quarter. It was said, that the King had offered Gen. Zepe the Presidency of the Council, with a ministry of his own choice, which the general refused, unless the crown also granted to the future Chamber of Deputies the powers of a constituent assembly, and would consent to send 12,000 infantry, 3,000 cavalry, and 32 pieces of artillery, to Lombardy. The King declining this, Gen. Pep"! withdrew, and the ministry announced in tho letter of our correspondent of the 4th was formed, by whom one regiment of the line and some mounted gensd'armes only were sent to Lombardy. Advices from Parma of the sth say that the Duke was still there, and had pledged himself to swear to the constitution. Although the advices direct from Milan of the 6th say that Peschiera was still occupied by a part of the Austrian reserve, the Piedniontese Gazette of the Bth says that that place had been surrendered to the Sardinian troops. The following are the heads of the constitution which the Duke of Parma has offered to his states: The state shall be governed by a moderate, hereditary, and constitutional monarchy, with the representative form. The Reman catholic religion is declared to be that of the state, but others are is be permitted. The sovereign is in violable, hat the minisees are responsible. The sovereign possesses the usual powers, and can grant pardons to c n demned persons, but not to ministers wko have betrayed their duty. The legislative power is to be exercised by the sovereign and a Chamber of Deputies. Every citizen is to be an elector at the ago of 25. A law is to declare the con ditions on which a citizen can be elected as deputy. The deputies are to be paid by their respective communes. The Chamber of Deputies is to be assemnled every year. No tax can be imposed without its sanction, and that of the sove reign. Toe press is to be free. Judges net to he liable to removal. No foreign troops cantle takes into the sexvice of the state, except in virtue of a law. Boise= was — frei: There .r . ; since yesterday; but, if anythi Birk., Lao ., & Ches.

We have bad another very dull market for Wheat; last week's prices were barely supported, and a great deal remained unsold. The supply of Barley was small, and firmer prices were maintained. Oats and Beans steady. . _ BIRMINGHAM, April 13.-During the present week we have experienced more inquiry for Wheat, and some quan tity has changed hands at about previous currency ; but we can note no improvement in the demand for Bosley. We have a good consumptive sale for Oats, at a further reduc tion of 6d. to Is. per qr., and the same remark applies to Irish alms. Some good Danish Beans have been forced off, at 11s. per 1961b5. At this day's market there was a less supply of English Wheat, which sold at rather over the cur rency of this day se'nnight, but the improvement did not extend to foreign. Barley in demand, and fully as dear. Some quantity of Oats and Beans have changed hands, at the decline noted below.

BRIGFITON, April 13.-We have to report a dull market to-day for every description of grain, especially for Wheat, which moved off slowly, at our quotations. Barley maintains its value, and sells Feely. Oats In moderate request. Beans are very dull. Peas are scarce, and much inquired after. Seeds still remain in such a depressed state, that few sales can be effected. Wheat, white, 121. 10.. to 121. 153. ; red, 111. 10s. to 111. 15.. per load. Barley, 335. to 3.54. Oats, 18.. to 19s.

Barley coastwise and from Ireland, is this week's supply, and the state of the market has remained lifeless. We had a very poor attendance at to-day's market, with moderate supply from farmers, and a very poor demand for everything but Barley and Oats for seed. Fine malting Barley was held firmly at fall prices, 3.55. to 386. per qr. • grinding quality saleable at 275. to 295. Farmers' Wheat, 44a. to 495. ; fine Polish and Odessa. 475. to 495.

DIT/ZES, April 6.-Wheat today was in rather short supply, and the trade was brisk, best qualities selling freely at Is. per qr. advance, while inferior sorts fully maintained last week's prices : almost every thing was sold.

SOWITIBM PATRIOTIC SOCIETY POR IMPROVING Ttifi CommTtoN OP TEE LABOURING CLASSRB.—A public meeting was held yesterday, at the Freemasons' Tavern, for the purpose of forming in London a branch society in con nexion with the Scottie's Patriotic Society. The Chisholm, M.P., presided, and, in his opening observations, described the destitution which existed in many parts of the Highlands, whirls was principally to be ascribed to the ignorance of the people, who were without the power to make a proper use of the resources within their reach. The principal objects of the society were—the improvement of the husbandry of the crofters by the introduction of better methods of cultivation; the promotion of the field - garden system; the improvemen of the cottages and gardens of the p reentry, and the reel dences of the labouring classes in towns , ; the promotion of agricultural education in elementary schools; and the esta blishment of seltsupporting agricultural schools where needed • the extension of the fisheries ; and the establaiment of district loan funds for assisting the industrious labouring under temoorary difficulties. The secretary of the society, who formed part of a deputation to this metropolis, then entered into some details of the working of their plans, which had been generally tatters*. troy, and had considerably improved the condition of the peasantry, although a great deal yet remained to be done. — Dr. Mackenzie, another of the deputation, followed to a similar purpose. lie concurred with the chairman in ascrib ing the prevalent destitution to tie want of education, and not from any defect in the country or climate. He was antis fled that the means were attainable for renderiag the pea an ry independent and proaperous. He had male =attempt to carry out the views of the sevety on the extensive pro prey in his charge in the troth of Scotland, and generally with satisfactory results.—Lord Abinger then proposed the first resolution, which expressed the approval of the meeting of the objects and policy of the society. He described the eoedition of the peasantry on his own estate, who paid their r.uts entirely from the produce of their farms, but who were barely able to support themselves last season, in consequence of the failure in be potato crop, and other causes.—The Rev. Dr. Cumming seconded the resolution, which was adopted unanimously.—On the motion of Mr Luke J. Hansard, secone4d by Mr. Mattlieson, M.P., sup ported by Mr. A. Campbell, it was then resolved that mea sures should be .alien for the formation of a London branch in support of the present toasty. The arguments urged by the speakers tended principally to show that the Highlands of Scotland contained everything necessary fur the support of its population, if better means were adopted for develop ing their resources. Several gentlemen condemned the principle of emigration, as tending to the detriment of the country at home, which was manifested by the amount of land at present in an uncultivated condition.—The Chairman observed that one of the benefits recently worked by the society was the employment of 200 persons who had previously been dependent on paro chial relief.—Resolutions, appointing Mr. Cameron secretary and Capt. Forbes treasurer of the aew branch, and snaking other arrangements in furtherance of the object in view, were supported by Mr. Whin, Mr. Cowan, M.P., and other gentlemen, after which the meeting separated. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL.—The anniversary festival was held last evening at the London Tavern. The Earl of Harrowby presided. The usual loyal toasts were greeted,. in consequence of some remarks from the chairman on the subject of the recent demonstration in the metropolis, with very warm manifestations of loyalty. After the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the Royal Free Hospital," the re port of the committee for the past year was read. It stated that difficulties had arisen from a long-accumulated debt (occasioned by the practice of giving relief beyond the ex isting means of the hospital), which was ascertained to amount to upwards of 5,3001. They could congratulate, however, the governen on the fact, that upwards of 3,0001. of that debt had been paid off during the year, whilst fresh liabilities to an amount of 9001. bad been incurred • mil towards the payment of the remnant of the old debe( which was 2,2991. 17s. Id. on the 31st December, 1847), they were happy to state that there were legacies re ceivable to the amount of I,oooe The health of Lord Robert Grosvenor followed the toast of the evening, which his lordship acknowledged by proposing a similar compli ment to the chairman. The remainder of the toasts were of the usual character. The subscriptions announced during the evening amounted to about 8001. HOSTILITIES BETWEEN DENMARK AND SLESWICK HOLSTEIN. BATTLE NEAR FLENSBURG HULL, FRIDAY MORNING. The Hamburg steam packet has arrived. The Borsenhalle of the 11th inst. contains the intelligence subjoined " Hostilities have seriously commenced between the forces of Denmark and those of Slebwick- Holstein. A very fierce battle has been fought near Flensburg, in which the Danes, having a decided superiority in numbers, as well as in their cavalry and artillery, the Sleswick-Holstein army was defeated, and compelled to retreat towards Rends burgh. " The loss of life has been very great on both sides. "The Danes entered the city of Sleawick yesterday. "The Prussian troops have been ordered to advance in order to support the people of Sleswick, and, should the King of Denmark, in ietaliation, stop the passage of the Sound, his territories are to be invaded." Another account says that the Danes, under the command of the king, carried a position fortified by entrenched breast-works, and occupied by a torte of ten thousand men, supported by artillery and cavalry, The scholastic volunteers of the Holstein army fought with great courage, and sustained severe losses. Late on Monday afternoon two addi tional battalions of Prussian infantry of the Bth Regiment, with six pieces of heavy artillery, passed through Hamburg en route to Rendsburg ; and on Tuesday, two additional batteries of light fielLi pieces were expected. This Prussian force now amounts to 8,000 infantry, to which will be added some cavalry, so that altogether this contingent force, when concentrated in Holstein, will amount to about 10,000 men of all arms. The contingent forces from Hanover, Brunswick, Olden burg, 'Mecklenburg, Bremen, and Hamburg, will amount, when concentrated, to about 10,000 more; so that, with the Holstein forces now in the field, the Danes will have to contend against a force of 30,000 men.

A number of letters having been read from various parts of the country, congratulating the convention on the course which it was pursuing, and expressing hearty concurrence in its principles, Mr. LUND moved a resolution for the adjournment of the convention until the 24th instant, the executive having full power to act in the meantime. After urging the expediency of the measure which he proposed, he made some general observations defending the Convention from the charges brought against it of being favourable to physical force measures, maintaining that its principles had always been of a pacific character. fie said, however, that unless something was done by parliament to-night to meet their demands, within six months all peace, order, and society would be at an end. They were about to send missionaries throughout the country, and he had great hopes of the cause deriving considerable benefit from their exertions. Mr. LORRY seconded the resolution, which was opposed by Mr. Ernest Jones, Mr. Culfay, and other gentlemen, who maintained that it was out of order, as they had passed a resolution agreeing to sit until the meeting of the national assemby. Mr. Sravntutost supported the resolution. Mr. Weer read a letter which stated that, at a meeting held at Sutton in Ashfield, a resolution had been puled to the effect that, in the event of an attack being made upon the convention, by the " base, brutal, and bloody whips," the people would rise tad avenge them. In opposing the resolution, he made some general observations con demnatory of the manner in which the petition had been received by the House of Commons. With regard to the validity of the signatures, he maintained that the 13 clerks employed could not have unrolled the petition in the time during which they were said to have counted the signatures. Mr. CtiPPAY thought the Chartists had overestimated the number of signatures, while their enemies had under estimated, them ; but he did not attach any great importance to the question. Same conversation ensued on the question of adjournment, and a deputation was appointed to wait on Mr. O'Connor, reouesting his presence. That gentleman, however, arrived almost immediately after the deputation had set out. Mr. O'CoNNon (who was received with most vehement and prolonged applause) then entered into a statement of what had taken place in the House of Commons last night upon the subject of the petition; and threw himself upon their i protectiou to confirm him n the withdrawal of his notice regarding it. Upon leaving the house last night, he had sent his friend, Mr. Jones, to demand an explanation from Mr. Cripps, and that gentleman had made an apology which left him perfectly satisfied. A resolution was pawed, confirming Mr. O'Connor in the course which he had taken. Mr. KYDD then moved for a return of the number of sig natures to the national petition from every district, the numbers to be supplied by the delegates of the respective places. Mr. A➢AMS moved an amendment to the effect, that they pledged themselves to prove that more than the number of persons who had signed the national petition were in favour of the charter, if the government would consider such evidence as sufficient reason for granting it. After a long discussion, it was urged by several gentlemen that the above resolutions were unnecessary and useless ; and an amend ment was carried " That the subject be not entertained." The morning sitting was then adjourned. MEETING OF REFORM MEMBERS. A meeting of members of the House of Commons was held yesterday, at 14, St. James's-square, at which it was unanimously resolved—" That it appears to this meeting that a more cordial understanding and co-operation are urgently required among such members of parliament as are favour able to the extension of the suffrage, an equitable mange ment of taxation, a reduction of expenditure, and the general advance of reform principles hrough Great Britain and Ireland; that Joseph Hume t , o b ut e chairman ; that Richard Cobden, M.P., be deputy-chairman ; that Sir Joshua Walmsley, M.P., be honorary secretary; and that the com mittee have power to add to their numbers." The requisition calling the meeting was signed by the fol lowing members of parliament : Joseph Hume, R. Cobden, B. Osborne, Sir Wm. Molesworth, Lord Dudley Coutta Stuart, Henry Salwei, William Jackson, John Williams, G. F. Muntz, Wm. Fagan, George Thompson, J. Paulson, Win. Ewart, W. J. Fox, Thoe. Watley, Right Hon. C. T.

THE POSTMAN BRADLEY—The Lords Commis sioners of her Majesty's Treasury hare , upon the recom mendation of the P ostmas t e r-General, granted Bradley, the letter-carrier who was so brutally treated in Mitre-court, Wood-street, some time ago, while in the execution of his duty, the sum of 1001. per annum for his life. Bradley will receive the amount quarterly, in the form of a superannua tion allowance, he haying been dimharged from future duty. COMMERCIAL If MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE.

RFJECTION OF THE GOVERN MENT MEASURE FOR RAILWAY APPROPRIATION. PARIS, THURSDAY, 5 tem. Since this morning I have received information, from one of the railway directors, of what passed last evening at the Ministry of Finance, when M. Gamier Pagi's submitted to the directors of the railways the project or projects which I sent you this morning. I ought to premise, however, in further explanation of what I sent, that it was in five per cent. stock that the minister proposed to make the indemnity. At the meeting last evening each of the railway com panies was represented by two delegates. It appears that the projects were rejected with absolute unani nity by all the delegates, who declared that they not only considered the conditions inequitable, and there fore inadmissible, but that they had no power to entertain such propositions at all. It was contended, meanwhile, that, inasmuch es the railway shares in general had fallen in a much larger proportion than five per cent. stock had, at whatever epoch the estimate might be made, the result would not be just. The delegates of the companies, says my informant, encouraged by the ground taken by M. Gamier Pages, who declared he would do nothing unjust, and would protect the interests of all, presented to the minister numerous and weighty objections. Neither the principle itself, nor the utility of the operation, was discussed, as it was known thaton these points the government had come to a determination, but the delegates, being practical men, attacked the basis of the project. They represented to the minister that there were but two certain elements of compensation—the revenue for the rail ways in operation, and the amount of calls paid up for these in construction. In general, as to the rail ways in operation, the value of the shares in the mar ket was regulated by the interest they would pro duce; but, notwithstanding, many other causes, besides the amount of interest they would bring, might act on the prices; the too great quantity of shares in other undertakings. political affairs, &c., &c.; for example, on the Orleans shares, the dividend has not failed to increase. The shares were quoted at 1,400 francs, when the annual dividend did not exceed 40 francs. They have now fallen below the nominal par (500 franca), although the dividend declared for 1817 is 63 francs. The revenue then is the only certain basis. If the state wishes to take the Orleans it should give 63 francs of dividends of stack for 63 francs of interest on the shares. This reasoning becomes more apparent when applied to the lines not yet finished ; in fact, there is not a single rail way, even the mist lucrative—Orleans in France, and Bir mingham in England—the shame of which, during its con struction, did not fall below par. To all this must he added that the contract with the state on the original grant of the railways already stipulate the conditions of repurchase by the state, and in these the re venue is made the basis of the repurchase. It is true that it was not foreseen that the state would he interested in re purchasing the railways before they . were finished, and pro duced a return ; but, if it be determined to expropriate them at this time, equity requires that the state should reimburse the shareholders at least the money they have paid. To show far the unfinished railways will be ill-used by the proposition of M. Oarnier Pages, it is enough to notice that one of them (the Strasbourg) has still in hand funds which represent for each share asurn higher than that which I would be paid for it according to the calculation of the minister, insomuch that the directors would consider whether they would divide these funds and sell their material, pro clueing, as it would, nearly the first value of their capital, and then abandon the undertaking. In this meeting, the delegates declared that they had not the power to decide, or even to treat officially on the question of repurchase; they positively reserved the rights and the authority of the shareholders. The government might, notwithstanding thi s, think fi t to proceed with their measure, but M. Gamier NO could not but admit that the difficulties of the repurchase were greater than he bad supposed. The accounts from the provinces continue to report much discontent and many disturbances. The com missaries of the Provisional Government of l'aris continue to be resisted and rejected by the provincial population over whom they are placed. Apprehen sions are everywhere expressed throughout the coun try that the deliberations of the assembly will not be free, and menaces are occasionally uttered of marching to Paris to protect them. Yon must not suppose, however, that anything but a republic enars into the contemplation of any party. Everything else is long since given up. The struggle will be, as I have so often told you, between an unmitigated democracy, in which the numerical majority alone will govern, and a republic in which intelligence and property will have their due influence. Little doubt is enter tained that the approaching assembly will, if allowed to deliberate freely and independently,decide in favour of the latter; but great doubts are entertained whether the Paris mob, under the direction of MM. Ledru-Rollin and Louis Blanc, will permit this. ]'here are at present no troops in the capital, but it is hoped that, through the influence of the moderate and respectable majority of the government, a sufficient force will be collected in and around Paris before the 4th of May. On the 20th inst. one of those theatrical exhibi tions, in which the irench delight will be got up in the Champ de Mars. The regular troops will frater nise with the national guard, and a general reconcili ation between them and the people will take place. This willafford an opportunityof introducing the troops into Paris, and their co-operation with the national guard will afford the best chance of securing the freedom and independence of the assembly. At least, if it succumb, it will not be without a straggle. The Minister of War has just signed an ordinance for the nomination of 600 officers of every grade. The list will be published this evening or to-morrow D 1 orning, at the latest. As might be expected, the announcement of the project of the Minister of Finance respecting the railways has *produced a heavy fall in the funds to day. The Three per Cents. closed at 3n, and the Fives at 681. ,r..,,., Sic to 465. Flour, fine, per sack, 40s. to 44e.; seconds, 116 s. to 395.
