Tim Frankfort Ames* bas taken up both eerily and seriously, the matter of the azielstice, concluded between tho Kings of Pausste and DZPIMARK, WA is determined, if not altogether to annul that armistice, at least to suspend the execution d its chief conditions. _ _ _ The letter of our Frankfort correspondent which we published yesterday will have informed our readers that the ministtrs of the central government admitted that the /Ling of PRUSSIA had infringed the conditions under which he was anthotised to conclude an armistice, and that a majority in the Assembly regarded certain of its articles as insulting to them and subversive of their authority. It farther stated that a committee had been appointed to report on the propriety of suspending the military measures by which it was to be canted into execution. The news received last night adds that on Tuesday the Assets bly, over-rulicg the most strennoss 'Swim of minister' to temporise, resolved, first, by a majority of 240 to 230, to discuss the propriety of 'impending the mea sures tor entoreing the armistice before disowning its merits; and next, by a majority of 238 to 221, to suswod the measures for carrying it into execution. question is of considerable importance here, not only for the openicg of the Elbe to our merchants, and the restoration of our intercourse with the north of Europe, but as, by one of the clauses of the armistice, Eogu land is to guarantee its execution. It was concluded on the 28th of May, and the treaty was to be ex changed and ratified in eight days, that is, on the 3rd of September ; now, as it was communicated to ;he Frankfort Assembly Orsly on the 4th, it appears to have been assumed that the said Assembly had. nothing to do with it. This is one of the things of which the Assembly, not without reason, complain. It remains to be seen, whether if the Frankfort Assembly suspend the treaty, England will hold itself bound to seen executed against the will and the order of the Assembly. One thing is certainly very wrong, and the Frank fort Assembly has every right to be indignant at it. According to the conditions of the armistice, the Pro visional Government of Schleswig was to be dia -1 missed, and, to form a government in its place, the King of DENMARK was to name two commieeioners, the King of Peuders two more, and these four a fifth. Instead of appointing a moderate and neutral per son, the King of DENMARK named Count Moue, the very man whom he before appointed to emery into effect his obnoxious measure against Schleswig. And not only does the King of Ditemsee thus appoint this Dane, the mat obnoxious to the Schleswigers, but the rest of the commissicners nominate Count MOLKE their president. So that the chief ruler of Schleswig, during the armistice, is its greatest and most de termined foe. We do not think that the King of DENMARK has been well treated throughout this business. But, ' really, if his object be peace with the Schleswig.» and with Germany, his Majesty of Ditemsax has taken the best means of disturbing both by his choice of Count Moritz. ---- ----- Another cause of annoyance to the German parlia ment is the conclusion of the armistice between the King of Dee NARK on nee side,the King of PRUSSIA and the Germanic Confederation on the other. The German parliament maintains that the recognition of the cen tral power by the King of PRUSSIA and the other Princes of Germany, was equivalent to a renuncia tion of their right to negotiate with foreign powers, except as a part of the Germanic body, and acting by delegation from it. They maintain that a Germanic confederation of states no longer exists; that they have merge d in the one confederated state of Ger many ; and that the treaty is irregular, es not having been contracted in the name of that confederated state. This is a matter of etiquette—an inaccuracy in the title given to one of the contracting powers— which might have been amended; but the position in which affairs have been placed renders it doubtful whether it will ever como under discussion The consequences of the step taken by the National Assembly may be most serious, not indeed extending to any renewal of war on the Eyder, ot , of blockade at the month of the Elbe, but occasioning a breach between Prussia and the new central power, which may be not only incon venient, but fatal to both. After all, Prussia did but rash into the Schleswig war, for the sake of putting itself at the head of the German movement. It is but natural retribution that Prussia should not only have missed its aim, but decidedly broken with that move ment in withdrawing from the struggle. NOT the lent instructive, and certainly the most amnaing,featare of the evidence taken before the Com mittee on the Navy, Army, and Ordnance estimates, is the light it throws on the philosophy and morality of official men. In perusing, for example, the evidence of the Earl of AUCKLAND, the reader might imagine he is study ing some modem PYTHAGORAS, so distinctly is the line drawn between the esoteric and exoteric doc trines of the school of official politicians. Some re made by the noble earl to the catechising of Wrl t i ll osts may serve to illustrate this: Year lordship has stated that the force to be employed in the eery would be in proportion to the force of other states ; do yea mesa the states of Europe or of all the world ? Porn, of all the world ; it must be in contemplation of cer tain political events, of which we can only conjecture the probability or possibility. Do you tionader that there are more ships of war in the world now than there were in 1792 i—rertairsly not more Mars Litre were in 1792. I thin c In 1792 the French had 90 sail of the line. Yon are aware that in 1792 the British force consisted of 16,000 seamen and marines )—Thereabouts. And it now consists of 43.000 t—Yes. flow do you reconcile that increase with the feet you hare stated that there are now fewer ships of foreign powers than there were is 1792 t—That is a political question of which yournssarnf sesitt.nedr; the number of effective ships of war of foreign powers isprritape greater now than it was at that time. Lewd AUCKLAND lays down the law ex cathedra that the British naval force must he " parry " in pro portion to that of all the world. When close pressed by Mr. Hose he admits that other nations have not a greater naval force in 1848 than they had in 1792 ; and that the British naval force in 1848 is nearly three times as great as it was in 1792. When asked how he needles his theory with these facts, the mystegogue etepirse " That is a political question of which govern meat must judge." It is a mystery With can only be comprehended by the adepts who have been duly ]satiated into the mysteries of office. There is a logto asd ea arithmetic revealed to the brethren of the =lit "lodge," wlrch is above the comprehen tehas " rowans out of doors. The bureaucracy are, in fact, a sect of freemasons entertaining views sad acting upon principles which they cannot ex *in to any but the " brethren of the mystic tie." WS shrewdly suspect that the esoteric doctrines of the affielals are much upon a par with those of the 'mgr. abie body with whom we have compared them. Lord AUCKLAND does not appear to have a very strong faith in the peculiar arithmetic of his sect; for after l l eal rh f i f ter declaring that government alone can jap tripling oar naval force while that of the Test of the world remains stationary, be not a viola tion of the principle that our navy should always be "pertly" in proportion to that of the whole world, Ime qualifies his admission that the aggregate of foreign navies has not increased since 1792 by ilsinuating that" the number of effective ships of war not ready for see is perhaps greater now than it was at that time." We do not press for an explanation of what kind of " effective "ships those may be which are "not ready for sea," any more than for an explanation of the " partly " which qualifies the doctrine that our navy should be in proportion to the navies of all the rest of the world. This is the language of the esoteric sebool, and cannot of course be explained to us. Bat what are we to think of a first Lord of the Admi ralty's knowledge of the affairs of hie own depart ment, when atter stating that foreign navies have not augmented since 1792, he turns round and says " perhaps" they have, when he finds his first answer driving him to an inconvenient admission? So tench for the philosophy of men in office ; for a sample of their morality we turn to the evidence of Admiral BOWLES, who Wag one of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Admiralty board : You stated that Sir Thomas Harty bad expressed to you the opinion that if the est:mates of Sir lames Graham had been serried on for two er three years, it would have been the ruin of the British navy I—l quoted an expression which at the time made a great impression upon me. I quoted his exact words. That was in 1832 I—lt was is 1831 or 1832. Sir Thaws Hardy signed those estimates, did not he ? I suppose so. How load did be continue Brat naval Lord of the Admi ralty altar this conversation I—l cannot perfectly -collect whether he was appointed governor of Greenwich Hospital in 1834 or 1835 ; it was probably in 1834. The astianstee, as_you are aware, were continued on the reduced footing I—Yes. Sir Thomas Hardy must have remained In the Admiralty daring that time I—Yes. Do you think that Sir Thomas Hardy waste man to have ' remained first naval lord of a Board of Admiralty who wen ' ruining the British navy I—l believe Sir Thome Hardy was estremely gl id to leave the Adnsinuty and go to Greenwich. I can only state facts. He did remain at the Admiralty undoubtedly from the sad of 1830 ti 11834, when he became governor of Greenwich: hat I tel the ooximittse what his opinion was in 1832. • Do you think Sir Thomas Hardy, with that opinion, woeli have put his hand to estimates which he believed were ruining the British navy ?—lrnowissy he didput his now to Maws, I coma say he weedif not. I Minis the com mittee lieay perfectly understand an officer spanking . con jgdwitially to another British officer, and stating Ale opinion se to the eject these relined alginkileS world have *non the rweestieretee. but at MO saps* tints not desiring to resign his office and come to an opus breach with the board of which he was tlrat naval lord, hoping that things might change for the eater. In 1834, Sir Jounce Graham left the Admiralty I—Yes. THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9, 1848. Teo estimators at 1113541 wareproposed by au Robert Peers nen Dowd T--Tee. An yam awes* that they were lower than Sir Graham's proposed estimate, P—l speak trim virus re, to 'action at such a distaste. forting. I believe Sir Itehart Peel diminished the estimates 1,000 men.

Do you remsonbcr who wattle Janice lords T—Str °carpi Cockburn was sppalited first naval lord, bet he was coup matsdiop in the West Indies ; Sir John Bamford we. neat, Sir Chariot Rowley scut, and then there wee ono civil lord, Lard Ashley. Tbey must have supposed that the estimates were more thaw suoticient whew they reduced them 1-1 think it wool.; ha hardly fair to call arm me tolls* an opinion as to the awadnot of 'enthrals with whom I was not in the habit of weensausicatios or cm,fldsucoo. I apprehend Sir Robert Peet Huse into dike with as mitorrse weavrily its the House of CONIIIOO/111, Oltai he thought the safest thino he could do was to take his predecessor'. Minors, dimisishisg 14 o Was, ass then he could be pretty ewe of pawing it through the Hons. if COMPIOO/18. Here, then, wo have a British admiral for several successive years giving his unction to estimate. which he was in private denouncing as c ticuluted to ruin the navy. He consents to be an accomplice in raining the navy (as he Ix Hover) in order that he may hold his precarious office at the navy . board till "things might change for the better;" s. e. till he could get himself snugly moored in the p:rmauent appointment of Orienwich Hospital, whither he was " extremely glad "to go. And lure we have ' other British admiral declaring that be "perfectly understands" such conduct, and thinks it all quite right. Moreover, we have this same second British admiral attributing to the minister under whoa he subsequently accepted office, the mean and un principled tactics of taking estimates which he thought already too low and di, inishing them still farther to curry favour with the House of Com mons. .Until we have better evidence we will not impute to any other of the persons named in the above quotation the conduct attributed to them, but that Admirals HARDY and BOWLEB held and acted upon such loose and equivocal principles of morality is clear from the acts of the first, and teem the acts and &do rations of the second. There is an important practical lesson to be de duced from such revelations as we have now b en passing in review. A stook subject for turgid decla mation and stale jokes with the 21tnes, 01. he, end other re-actionist journals, at present is, what they call the infatuation and presumption f Mr. Gou rmet, in declaring that it is possible to make reductions in our military and naval expenditure. We are told that the whole weight of official men—the testimony of all who have experience in these mat ters—is against Mr. Commit. The quotations from the evidence of two official men before the committee on navy, army, and ordnance estimates, show what this official or professional testimony is really worth. Admiral Bow Les bears witness that, notwithstanding the clamour against redactions in the naval expendi ture, offirors high in the service have equalled at such rel. odious from interested motive., and that he justi fies their conduct. What is the value of the testimony of men who, upon principle, will say one thing at one time and another at another, according u it subserves their in terests ? Lord AUCKLAND betrays a superficial acquaintance with the business of his own department, falls into the most glaring contrad , ctioos, and then seeks to shroud himself in the mystery of affected official reserve. The justice and sound common sense of the views propounded by Mr. COBDEN are not to be pooh pooped and discredited by such authorities, nor by their shall w echoes in the press. If would tot be altogether fair to review the legis lative business of the session in the Lords as we have dace that which has been trateacted in the Coirmnis. The Lords plead that they have been waiting to have business sent them from the Commons. But the Lords have had their judicial business entirely under their own control. The House of Lords sat altogether 136 days during the eession—a monster session—beginning on the 18th of November, 1847, and ending the 6th of the pre sent month. Their lordships heard appeals and writs of error on 64 of these days, beginning on the 10. h of February, their 24th sitting, and stopping on the 3rd of August. In that time they heard and finally dis posed of 31 causes, and heard fully, without deciding, more. Among these 8 were "the Attorney-Oeuerel e. Drummond," an appeal front Ireland, which occupied their lord-hips five days in hearing ; " Rowley r. Adams," an English appeal, which occupied as many mote days in the bearing; the " Attorney-General e. Cox , another English ap- peal relating to the assets of the late Duke of YORK, which took three days to hear ; and " Doe dem. Daniel e. Woodroffe," a writ of error, the hearing of which took throe days more. Their lordships, how ever, as if to make up for this arrear of cases, which them stand over till next session for judgment, pr seemed judgments in thirteen other important causes, heard in the sessions of 1846 and 1847. These 13, added to the 31 heard and disposed of this service, make together 44 causes finally determined, a larger number than usually happens to be heard and decided in any one session. It is just to the Loan CHANCELLOR to observe, that though it is the Hones of Lords that gets the credit of this work, and the deci sions are entitled the judgments of the house, and as such receive weight and authority in the courts, the labour and the responsibility fall chiefly on his lordship. It may well be mid of the Lords also, se it has been of the Commons, that talking is a great ob struction and hindrance to business, especially to judi cial business; but this talking is not the LORD CHAN csumes, but that of learned counsel, whose wonder ful power can expand an argument on a aarro v point over several days. This is an evil which must bo en dured as long as fees are paid by the day, and not by the cause, as they are in all the law and equity courts. It is no wonder that such a practice begets " long causes ;" indeed, the wonder is that we do not oftener hear of • monster cause, like " Attwood e. Small," which consumed eighteen long days of the session 01835, and thirty of the then next session, in ar guments. The LORD CHANCELLOR, though • " speaker " by his offioe, is not a great talker—certainly not a loud one—which is often much to be regretted ; but his lordship ia the best, the most flattering listener that the talkers could desire, and by his patient endurance and hearing out without interrupting he got through the greater part of the causes in .the Lords; and " alone he did it," for the other law lords did not joint him in the early ptrt of the session ; and when they did their presence did not accelerate the progress of business or lighten it much. Lord BROUGHAM, indeed, did sit as Speaker for three out of the 64 days during the hearing of the writ of error in " Doe e. Woodroffe," in the presence of the common law judges. Divorce bills also occupied several days; and be it observed that these, from the hearing of the evi denoe in support of the allegations in their preambles, which is done before the second reading of the bills, are as much matters of judicial cognisance and pie cedure, governed by the same rules of law and evidence, as causes are. There were eight such bills last session, four of which were passed by both houses; the other four did not pass the Lords. Two of these latter,—Mrs. DAWSON'S divorce bill, and Miss FIELD'S Nullity of Marriage Bill, took seve ral days. The former failed, perhaps because it did not appear, so it is supposed, that the lady had had cruelty enough. Her bill, however, is not with drawn. Her friends did not venture to urge the se. Gad reading of it, and they or she may mend the ease by improving_ her grievances before next aeries. Miss FIELD'S case was brought Wiwi with greater confidence and assurance of eerie= j bat parturient montes, mascitur, &c. A speech et her horns from Sir FITZROY KELLY, overflowing with his touching pathos and imploring appeals to venerable peers as fathers, brothers, relatives, and , guardians of orphan young ladies, met with a most provoking extinguisher in a few plain observations from Lord Davos, who, in that matter, sat as Speaker kneed of the LORD CHANCELLOR. The case in its progress turned out to be, in fart, an ejectment cause of " Smith v. Brown," the latter being the young lady's husband, and SMITH being the promoter of the I bill, who, upon his examination in support of it, very ingenuously confessed that he would have no objection to his eon's taking for a wife a young lady of 18 with a fortune exceeding 1,0001. • year, mean ing Miss FIELD. In enumerating the judicial business of t"-e Lords, the peerage oases must not be overlooked. Thrre were eleven of them before the house in the course of the session. Six of them—beir g on petitions to the house itself, presented by Irish peers, claiming, on coming of age or to the title, to be admitted to vote at the elections of Irish representative peers—did not meth time Is the production of the necessary cree p) ptoo before the committee of privileges. The other I five were of a different nature, being upon petitions to the Queen. raying after long lame of time to be ' admitted to their !ids', and referred by her MAJESTY to the house, and by the hones to the committee of privileges to inquire and report to her MA- IasTY. Of these five claim'', two only—viz. the barony of Says -nd Bele, and earldom of Crawford, with the barony of Lindsay, were disposed of finally and reported as made out. The claim to the earldom of Perth was re ported as not made out, but the claimant will no doubt mend his case and come again ; an ex-duke in France is not likely to give up a lair chance of keeping op his nobility in an ancient Scotch dignity. The Southesk peerage ease was only opened, and was in the opening nipped, the circumstences of it falling within the law that ruled the Perth ease. What i. to be said of the fifth and last of the peerages—the never-ending caso of the Visouunt TRACY P That case has occupied much of the time of the house since 1836. Of t e curious proceedings in it—its favour able app.srance one day and cloudy aspect the next—the Daily News has furnished reports to its readers from time to time during the last three sessions, and therein have also been duly recorded the history, progress, and end of the other peerages, and of the divorce bills, and of the causes as they occurred. There are now remaining for the judicial work of next session the eight cruses before-mentioned as heard, to be decided; there are also two causes set down for hearing in a former session, and which may be considered in arrear; and there are thirty-six more came a set down during the session just euded, and, therefore, ripe for hearing in the next. Of these causes, twenty-five are from Scotland, and six from Ireland. The hearing and deciding the thirty six, in addition to the other eight and two, would be fair work for next session, with the divorces and claims of peerage which may yet arise. But there were also entered in the last and previous sessions between 70 and 80 other appeals and writs of error, aurae of which will, of course, be set down and brought on for hearing in the next. It may be useful, as well as curious, to compare the work of last session, as to causes, with former sessions in which the most business of that sort was done. In 1824, when Lord (iIFFORD, then Master of the Rolls, was sent up to the house to get rid of the arrears of Scotch appeals, the house sat for that purpose 79 days, bevel 94 can-es—most of them Scotch—left 7 of them undecided and 142 unheard. In 1825, the house, with the assistance of the same learned lord, sat judicially 84 days and heard 92 causes, leaving 7 of them undecided, and an arrear of 77 causes un heard. In 182'-7, after Lord GIFFORD'S death, the house, with Lord LYNDHURST then chancellor, and with the assistance of Lords ELDON and REDEi- DALE, sat judicially 58 days, heard 58 musts, leaving 6of them undecided, and an arrear of 74 unheard. In 1828 the house sat 63 days on causes, heard 40, left one of them over for judgment, and 78 unheard. In 1831, the first erosion of Lord BROUGIIAM, chancellor, 43 days were given to causes, 49 were heard, 4 of them were left undecided, and 56 more unheard. In 1834 the house sat ore causes 58 days, heard 56, leay. ing 3 of them undisposed of and 75 more unheard. In 1835, after Lord Baca :GUAM resigned the great seal, the house eat judicially under his lordship's presidency (the great seal being for part of that session in commission) 80 days, hearts 64 causes, lett five of them undecided, and 38 only unheard—the smallest arrear known for many years before, and which has been increasing ever since. It may be remembered that it was principally owing to the bodily and mental fatigue of that session's work that Lord BROUGHAM'S health was so much damaged that he was obliged to remain at his country seat the wnole of the session of 1836. The judicial sittings of the house since 1835 have not exce. ded in any session 74 days ; that being the number in 1840 and in 1842, under the respective chancellorships of Lord COTTEN HAM and Lord LYNDTIURtiT. Forty causes only were heard in 1840, and 16 of them were left undecided, and 71 more unheard. The number heard in 1842 was 48, of which 10 were left undecided, with an arrearof 77 unheard. So that the judicial la b ours of the session just ended approach nearest to the hercu lean labours of the house, with Lord BROUGHAM presicli g, in 1836; and allowance must also be made for the other judicial duties of the LORD CHANCELLOR during the session. IN another column will be found a letterfro:n a correspondent in Cork, curium for its historical reminiscences, and interesting as showing the expec tations which Lord Joint RUSSELL'S visit to Ireland has excited even among intelligent and reflecting Irishmen. Our correspondent himself will by this time have been made aware that Lord JOHN does not seem to have contemplated ingratiating himself with what is hearty and impulsive ie Irish society, and that instead of courting he has rather held back from it. Whether Lord Join es excursion to Dublin had any concealed political object in view remains, and possibly may always remain, a " cabinet secret." We feel marvel lous little curiosity about the matter ; and this lack of curiosity appears to be plentifully participated in by the public, at large. Of the "reconstruction" of the Irish liberal party, either in consequence of Lord JOHN'S visit, or from any other canoe, we have but slender hopes. Our in formation from the sister island, however, is sack as to convince os that there has rarely been a time when the really intelligent and patriotic proprietary class in that country had abetter opportu nity of asserting their natural influence in its political movements, or with more wholesome effect. All personal prestige has been dissipated to the four winds of heaven. And though the mass of the population have shown themselves sadly credulous and gullible in their choice of leaders, we think that amid even their most aimless and fantastic straggles there are indications of real progress on the part of the Irish people. The concurrent testimony of intelligent Irishmen, who have re-visited their country after a lapse of years, is to the effect that there ant marked improvements in the dwellings and dress of the peasantry, and in the cultivation of the soil. This is a point of which only Irishmen (and perhaps Sootchmen) can be fair judges : Rog lishmen test both be an unfair standard—by compari son with the mach more advanced condition of Eng land. Even the altered bearing of the peasantry, which impresses so many Irishmen of the old school unity:, y, we are disposed to hail as a good omen. What they call loss of proper respect for the upper classes ap to us no more than a sense of their own w , and an exchange of fawning servility for simple civility. Now that the bubble of incendiary agitation has bunt, and that intelligence and productive industry are making progress among the people, is the time for the educated proprietary class to take their proper position in Ireland. But that they will do so is more than we will venture to affirm. FRANCE. PARIS, Fainwr, 11 A.m. The Assembly proceeds with the project of the con stitution more rapidly and with greater unanimity thin was expected. Having decided that there should be a preamble, it prod eded yesterday to examine, article by article, the preamble of the committee. Tro amendments were proposed, the first to substitute the term " principle" for that of " dogma," which was adopted ; the other was that of M. Devils, which I have already reported, and which was inte nded as a sort of satire on the government. It was to annex to the words, "In the presence of God " the words "in a state of siege," &c. This was of course rejected. The Bth paragraph will come under discussion on Monday, to day and to-morrow being reserved by the Assembly for general busineal. This Bth paragraph will give rise to another debate on socialism, as it involves the question of the " droit du travail." _ _ _ A project has been put forward, and a petition presented to the National Assembly to raise funds to enable 20,000 families now unemployed in Paris to establish themselves in Algeria. The trea sury being empty, an attempt will probably be made to raise funds for Las object by private subscription. Tee Astional, on the subject est the Austrim mediation, says, " A rumour had been spread at Berlin which the ministers of Prussia announced lutrily at the assembly, to the effect that Austria had accepted the Anglo French mediation. This news reached us fn Paris to-day. We cannot, however, guarantee its perfect exactitude, and we do not thii.k that government has as yet received any direct con firmation ot it from Vienna." The Dibats has the following letter from Toulon of the 3rd : Yesterday afternoon the maritime authorities visited several telegraphic despatcher, which mused great excite ment. All the disposable steam boats had to prepare insets- ' dimely for putting to ma, and they were ordered to make preparations for receiving on board troops of infantry and nonage. Acoordingly, the steam frigates the Chenoque, the Magellan, and the Monte stuns, and the steam stoop Solon, prepared to deport , and according to all appearance will pat to see during the night. The object of these pre panders Amlaless is to send a brigade into Italy, for the steamers took on board a large quantity of biscuit and a considerable amount of the materiel of war, including a battery of artillery, the baggage of en ambu lates and encampment, to. 'Pk* orders of government be ing urgent, it was requisite to work during Use whole night at the artillery and materiel. To-day the grestest aetivny prevaik in the mama, where pieces of artillery and carriages of provisions and ammunition ere being be-night by the rail way. Several engineers, who are to be attached to the ex • pedition, here stetted for Mirseilles, and we understand that the steam rs are going to that port t• receive oa board 4 batta lions of infaatry, an !centering comp env, ands battery of ar tillery. A thousand roporta are in circulation as to the direction which will be taken by the expedition. Some say that we are about to occupy Ancona, but it appears more probable that our troops will disembark at Civita Yecohis, and will I await further orders in the Papal States, perhaps at Rome. Three is a report here that a division of the army of the ' Apt is about to embark at the Gulf of Juan. What is c. resin Is, that the steamers which leave to night for Mar seilles are full provisioned for three months, which gives ground for suppodag that they will mike many other voyages with troops. The Madrid mails of the 3rd have arrived. It is Mated that an insurrection was expected to break out at Seville before the confinement of the Duchess of Montpensier. A column of 600 infantry and 100 horse, commanded by General Lersandi, is about to march from Madrid against the faction of l'ico, in La Mancha, which tu always been described in the ministerial journals as consisting of 20 or 30 at moat. . . . ......... An English gentleman committed suicide by shoot ing himself on the let, but our correspondent was not able to discover his name. ITALY. LANDING OF FRENCH TROOPS AT VENICE. VENICE.—As was stated in the Express of last evening, we have received information from Frankfort, where it was officially intimated that in telligence had been received, to the effect that 4,000 French troops had landed at Venice. The source from which this news is derived is entitled to high credit. We would, however, draw attention to the words of General Cavaignac (published by us on Mon day) on the Ist Sept., when, in answer to questions put to him, he stated that no troops had as yet been expedited, but that the French and English squad rons in the Adriatic had ordi ra to protect Venice from any hostile enterprise on the part of Austria. We have advices from Genoa to the 3rd,to say that tranquillity had been re-established. Intelligence of the same date from Piacenza an nounces a destructive epidemic among the Austrian troops. - - - - NAPLES.—We have received the despatches of our Naples ccrrespoodent to the evening of the 31st. The following is our correspondent's letter, which will be read with much interest: Nas'Lu, Ana. 31. The. Sicilian expedition has actually aken place. Naples this morning eviiisited every sign of warfare. The gates leuling into the sraeoal were crowded by a curious multitude, and soldiers seers peering and re pining in all directions. The fleet was to have left on the night of the 29th, but for some risen or other it was put off till this evening. It was expected that the frigates ALnialit and Pertenope with all the disposable steamers, having on board two regiments of Swiss, a regiment of the gnard,various field hatteries,ard moveable military hospitals,' would leave in the dir. ction of Reggio. The expedition is commanded by Lieut.-Gen. Prince Satriano. Procla mations will be distributed through Sicily inviting the people to enter into friendly negotiations with the govern. meat. The basis of the treaty would be the tame that was offered by the Neapolitan government in March last. 11,000 man are to land at Messina, and 12,000 at another point. The fleet (Neapolitan) is now under sail. Soldiers have bee, embarking all day ; those whom I saw seemed to he very far from being in good spit its. If there is a struggle, sad struegle there will be now unless negotiation should be 1111111•1.thil at the list hour, it will be molt desperate. The Siceians, on their part, seem disposed to make every resistance. I am informed, on credible mitteo• rhy, that the Mesainese have cut away . the stairs of their houses, and that Palermo and Mess ina have been undermined for a considerible distance around each city, a number of pinions declaring that they will blow all up on the landing of Neapolitan troops. In every commune, too, of Sicily, by a parliamentary act, a munici pal guard has been established independently of the national guard and the regular army. They are to be under the command of Capitani Giustineri; they are to wear a military' uniform, and are to be instructed in military exereisse Thu the whole population, under one name or another, have been transformed into soldiers. With all these prepa ration', however, the event is only too clear, should they ever come to an engagement wits the King's troops. The Porcupine left in such a hurry in the night of the 29th for Palermo that some of the officers were in society at Naples, perfectly ignorant that they were to leave that night. Why has it left 1 Conjecture is active. She may have gone to warn the Sicilians of the coming event, or to suggest an anticah'e arrangement. I undentaul that several of the King's grub rata which were off have been captured by the Sicilians. A royal steam: l t the Guiseard, having bsen taken by a whirlpool, was thrown on shore near Memina, and was immediately fired upon most severely by the Messiness. Pronio, however, threw in some bombs from the citadel, when the firing ceased. Many of the ciusenawere killed. The Guisaud is now at Csatells, mare under repair, having been most seriously injured. Capt. Romp ' of the Porcupine, offered assistance Mahe Guiscard to get her off from her perilous situation, beet was declined—so at lust is the on di*. She was ultimately got off by . the Gladiator. It is said that a few days sines a merchant vessel laden with ammunition was seineet, as she was entering Mes sina, by a King's steamer, but on showing British colours, she was permitted to peas. In Palermo some ministerial changes have lately been mule. Mariano Stabile, Prince of Butira, Michele Amari, Francesco de Luca and Emmanuel Viola sent in their resigoetions to the president. Viola wig, however, induced to remain in office, taking the portfolio of the Interior and Public Security inseed of that of Worship and Justice ; the Marquis of Torrearsa, President of the Chamber of Commerce, taking the portfolio of Foreign Affairs and Commerce ' • Filippo Cordova that of Finance ; Guiseppe Farina that of Public Instruction and Public Works. . _ _ During the last few days I regret deeply to say that we have been most painfully agitated and distressed by the as ressination of an Englishman end the stabbing of another who was in company with him. The unfortunate gentleman who has fallen a victim to the savage ferocity of a Neapolitan is Mr. Robert Wbitelock Nicholl, who has passed some time in Italy pluming the study of the fine art.. Possessing almost every endowment calculated t o make life happy he was greatly endeared to a laege circle of friends by manors eminently amiable and gentlemsnUy, and by a warmth of heart that ever led him to forget himeelf in his desire to promote the happiness of others. Indeed, apart from the ferocious nature of the circumstance, we all lament his ceeth as infliction no common lass on sa, and very long will it be before we shell cease to lament one who to great knowledge of and taste for art, and to great urbanity of manner, united a generosity of disposi tion which gave so great a charm to, his friendship. The circumstances of the sad event were u follows. It appeus that in company with several friends, to the number of eight or ten, he had been spending the evening at the Café Europa, whence a portion of them adjourned about half-past one o'clock in the morning to St. Laois, accompanying several officers of the fleet. It so happened that a few oysters were eaten, and on leaving and payilif the expenses a tarp r sum than was just wee demanded, winch was, after some ob jections, satisfied to a certain extent. Still a far ther demand was made, and inoults followed upon demands. The party had not proceeded many steps before they were assaulted by a shower of jam, used for holding the sulphur water, which are sold in Santa Lucia. One re ceived a severe cut in the head, which nearly stunned him, another was wounded in the back, and poor Nicholl, too, it seems, had his head laid open by a jar. The oysterman still continuing to throw the jars, as the party wen an. armed, it was but too evident that resistance was =availing. One of the party ran forward, therefore, to Chinamen*, to call the guard, and on retumiag with a soldier, they met the others king. Mr. —, who wagons of the party, exthdmied, as the guard passed, " I em stabbed !"—the wound probably having been inflicted as he fell; but as he had risen and still continued his course, not so much importance was attached to his wound. More anxiety was felt for poor Nicholl, whet was no wuere visible, and, in fact, on (pin further back, he was found weltering in his blood, perfectly dead. A mutual friend, who lied brought up the enard, tells us that he ob served one lag fall over as he came up, but that the eyes were fixed. It is supposed that in relining he must have received a blow from a jar which stunned him, and that in falling be received his wound, or indeed, as he lay upon the emend. The knife, which in the language of the country is called a " 'Janine," and is carried °nee up the sleeve for muelerous purpose', must have entered his body es the left side about two and a half inches from the beck bate, and taking en upward direction it divided the spleen. Immediate death must have ensued. The body was taken immediately to a hospital, when it underwent spool swim examination, the result of which I have communicated to you. My lamented friend was buried on Monday evening, 28th il.fit., in the English burial ground, most of his friends who were in Naples accompanying him to the grave, and no..ny who were at a distance regretting deeply that they could not offer him this last sad tribute of their respect. Sleee that time considerable anxiety has been felt for Mr. whose wound appears to have been a most serious one. The knife entered his body in front to the depth of 8 inche3, about 21 inches above the crest of the ilium, and 1 th Pa"ed at hie safety th ap r ptrs h h t i o . 6b..,'d."4" 1.--.—at;lllalinost mitwkil am harpy to say that he .a initg on en II , abort time will, I hope, be out of . 13 U11 , 7.

On the sth the National Assembly met tvi e t,„ half-past nine till half-past elev en a.m., et d -r„. noon till a quarter to seven. The smut tam e .' through , .ut a stormy one. Professor Dahlman'', th- reporter of therm % to whom the truce was referred, atter enteriark variety or details respecting the negotiitioes time, asserted that it rebutted from a cow • up to the 26th ult. between tbe,Vicsr of th e E a , and General Wrangel ; that the central eremit e ; all along in favour of a throe and not t eizteepi i truce. The same speaker also remarked th e t truce had placed at the head of the SAilsei g g ‘ stein government a most unpopular i n di v id ual, eft Von Moltke, who could not enter into eithe ? 4, without danger to his life. The professor the" 4 ' the following resolution, as the one drawn up tyt, majority of the committee " That the Asselehlyi ride in favour of the suspension of the milit eeN other measures for the carrying oat of the thee blet has been agreed upon." Herr Schubert then read the resolution of is* nority of the committee, which was to the egret b e the Assembly should not come to a vote ree l *, the suspension of the truce uutil it had arrin44 decision with reference to the truce itself. TN nority, he said, had expressed the opinion thgth suspension of the execution of one of the mai l * tious of the trace was tantamount to the rejeeh le i the truce altogether. The ministry of war opposed the motion chil li jority of the committee on the ground that it way ehdanger the power and unity of Germany. &d i minister, Von Schmerling, besought the reject the motion, as by accepting it the.rirti stroy the truce. Prince Lichnoweki, a member dtb right, exclaimed that the truce must be ambit and that only the honour of Germany in view. Foreign powers were too pludenttele fare with Germany, for it would oppose thus* one million and a half of men. Herr Zimmermann, of Stettin, in a fel - rids,* declared that Prussia had not only exredie powers, bat had acted contrary to them. It MA duty of that Assembly to uphold the central pe t which it had itself created. Herr Bassermann spoke against the rootlet el* majority of the committee. Herr Wichmann, of Stendal, observed thatnitie Denmark nor England had acknowledged they*, ii ,sional central executive. Gen. Von Radowitz remarked that a trace wiser a peace. Holstein had a right to look to Gels for protection : it was otherwise with Schleswig, did net think that the only conditioLs on which!. could be finally concluded were endangend by b trace, even though he did not approve of alias* ditione. England and France would not WOW with the non-acceptance of the truce, and Bea 80,000 men in readiness in the east provinces; that force landed at Kiel, the German army newish cut off. Had the Assembly thought of all that? lb trusted that the Assembly would author'm the mei executive to ratify the truce. After three other ministers had spoken aging* adoption of the motion, one of whom announced*: he and all his colleagues would resign in ems de suspension of the military measures was voted, el consequently the trace itself broken, and after: stormy scene, the President put the two fella* questions : " Does the National Assembly desire to divide question of a suspension of the truce betas d: come to a vote respecting the truce itselfr 240; noes, 230. Will the Assembly vote for the suspessieleilb military and other measures for the cambial:l the truce?" Ayes, 233; noes, 221. The Asemi4 adjourned at a quarter to 7, amidst the r o,. excitement.
