given of its intentions by the hon. and learned mover. The hon. member also complained of the absence of the Attorney- General, the more especially as he had, in effect, takes the bill out of the hands of the private member who had intro duced it. Sir 0. GREY denied that the government had adopted the bill. They had merely proposed to alter one part of it, with a view of preventing the repealing action so far as regarded the bulls and writings mentioned in the 13th Elisareth. After a short discussion ' Mr. WALPOLE said that it had taken him two whole days to introduce the bill and he feared it was but imper fectly understood by the house. He was willing to secede to inch portions of the bill as were reasonable, but should resist all that portion which tended in his opinion to tamper with the protestant character of our constitution. It was his intention to support the present amendment. Mr. NEWDEGATE had great respect for the opinion of his hon. and learned friend, but what Le wanted was to pre vent such interference on the part of the papal see as nad recently taken place in reference to the education scheme for Ireland. He should, therefore, divide with has hon. and learned friend the member for Dublin University if the ques tion went to a division. dr. NAPIER observed that the clause as proposed to be amended would leave the question doubtful as to those bulls which previous to the act of Elizabeth were dealt with by the common law. Mr. J. S f UART supported the view taken by:Mr. Napier. Altar a few words from Sir H. WILLOVOH BY and Sir 0. GRES. in which the latter remarked upon the waste of time occasioned by gentlemen who had been profitably employed in the Court of Chancery all the morning coming down to continue discussions which were already exhausted, and recommended an immediate division, Mr. HENLEY raid the difficulty arose from the absence of the law officers of the crown,who, upon a question like the one before them—on which an amendment suggested by them was and , r discussion—should be present to give the house the benefit of their opinion, and moved that the chairman report progress. The committee divided on that motion—Ayes..loo Noes..llo-4 The amendment of the Attorney-General was then again put. Mr. J. STUART complained that the effect of the amend ment would ha to leave the preamble of the aet of Elizabeth to explain what was meant by this bill. He objected to that on the ground of the inconvenience it would occasion. He thought the personal observations of the right hon. gentle man (Sir G. Grey) as they referred to him (Mr. btuart) were wholly unjustifiable. Sir G. GREY admitted that he had expressed himself strongly, feeling the great inconvenience resulting from the practice he had alluded to. The objection urged by the hon. and learned gentleman to the amendment would go to this —that they should never repeal a part of an act of pulls meat without repealing the whole. The committee again divided—Ayes ll3 Noes ll3 _ . The numbers being equal, the chairman (hie. Bernal) gave his casting vote in favour of the insertion of the words. Sir. R. INGLIS recollected no instance in which, alter such an equality of opinion, the measure hail proceeded further during the same session. He should therefore move that the chairman report progress, arid malt leave to sit again. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER reminded the committee that the amendment which, by the casting vote of the chairman, had just been carried, had emanated from the other side of the house, having been originally_pro posed by the hon. and learned member for Cambridge Uni• versity ; be saw no reason for refuting to proceed with the remaining clauses of the bill. After a few words from Mr, Nzwrinos.rz and Mr. HENLEY, The house divided—Ayes llO hoes lll-1 The CHAIRMAN then put the question on the next clause, when much laughter was created by the entrance into the house of Sir It. Inglis, who was absent from the division, and who explained that he went to consult the highest authority in that house as to the course pursued by the chair man, whose opinion he wished to hear on the point. Mr. BEIINAL said that, without reference to the re cords of the house , . he could not say that a similar event had ever occurred during the many years he occupied that chair. Mr. J. STUART submitted that they ought to proceed no further with the bill. Lord 11. VANE thought it hard that hon. members should so factiously oppose a measure which could not be brought forward on any other day of the wee►. Mr. HUDSON urged postponement; and Sir GREY, pointing to the clock (20 minutes after 5), sugg,:sted to the hon. member for Youghal whether it would not be b-tter, looking to the tone of the house u well u the hour, to give up the idea of proceeding further with the bill that day. Mt. ANSTEY refused to do so, conceiving that if they did not go on with the bill now it would be shtlred for the session. Mr. HUME seconded the appeal of the Secretary of State ; and atter some conversation in the same strain, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY moved, as an amendment on page 3, line 10, of the clause, Provided always, ani be it declared, that nothing in this enactment relating to an set passed in the first year of Queen Elizabeth, chapter one, shall authorise or render it lawful for any person or persons to addrrn, bold, stand with, set forth, maintain, or defend the authority, preeminen:, t, rnwer, or Jurisdiction, xpiritnal or ecelesiantleal, of any foreign ce, prelate, pinon, state, or potentate , wi th in the United m of Great Britain and Ireland, nor shall the same extend further than to the repeal of the particular penalties and pun ishments therein referred to, bat in all other reopens the law shall continue the same as if this enactment had not been made. Provided always, and be it declared, th it nothing in thi• enactment contained relating to an sot 13 Elie., cep. 2, shall authorise or render it lawful (many person or persons to import, bring in, or put in execution within this realm, any bull, writing, or instrument from the 'tie of Rome ; and that in all respects, save as to the penalties or punish ments impo-ed by the mid act, the law shall continue the same as if this enactment had not been made. Mr. ANSTEY said he had no objection to those provisoes if so altered as to substitute the words " consequent there on," for " therein referred to," in the first; and " conse quent upon any violation of the said act," for " imposed by the said act, ' in the second. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY refused to make the proposed alteration. SirG. (xitttY and Mr. P. Woou objected:to the:provisoes in either shape, as they wculd only leave the law u it was re garding the e'atutable offence. Mr. ANSTEY (it being within five minutes of six) moved that the chairman report progress, with leave to sit again next Wednesday, which being agreed to, The house resumed and adjourned.

GREY made a statement exonetiting the officers of her Majesty's steamer ShearwaL' , freft th e 'hugs of having paid any undue ati...7 1 " l gitchel, the Dublin convict, while a ;'!3** stinger on board that vessel from thence to Spike I Island, as had been alleged. The right hon. hart. also in answer to Sir R. H. INGLIS stated that in cones queues of his attention having been called to the !rub ject of racing sweeps, he had thought it consistent with his ditty to ascertain what the law was in reference to them, and be found that by a judgment of the court of Queen's Bench in 1843, such sweeps had been held and declared to be illegal. The Board of Stamps and Taxes bad expressed their intention of submitting certain ad vertisements in connexion with such sweeps to the Home-office, and when they had done so, the subject should receive that attention which it so imperatively demanded.—The " no house " of the previous clty led to a discussion, in which Mr. COBDEN charged, and Sir G. GREY exonerated, the governmentfrom having been accessories to that result. The question of going into committee on the Roman Catholic Re ' lief Bill originated a discussion and a division, when, in opposition to Mr. GORING's amendment, the motion wan carried by a majority of 26, the numbers 102 to 76.-1 n committee, the chairman having put the ATTORNEY-GENE RAL'S amendment, specifying the particular " bulls" which were to be prohibited from publica tion within the United Kingdom, a discussion ensued, Mr. Harmst moving that the chairman do report progress, the committee dividing, when the amend ment was negatived by a majority of 4—the num bers, 100 to 110. A second division took place on the ATTORNEY•GENERAL'S amendment, when the numbers being equal, 113 for and against, the chair man gave the casting vote in its favour. In conse- 1 quence of this result, Sir R. 11. INGLIS moved that the chairman do report progress, which motion was negatived by a majority of one—the numbers 110 to 111, Sir It. INGLIS explaining, on the read mission of strangers, that he had been absent from the division on his own motion in consequence of having gone to consult the highest parliamentary authority as to the course pursued by the chairman in giving his vote in favour of an amendment when the numbers were equal. Mr. BERNA L stated, without reference to the orders of the house, that he did not recollect a similar circumstance to have occurred of equal numbers on a division in committee during the periods he had occupied the chair. Further progress with the bill under existing circumstances was con sidered undesirable by several hon. members, and at length, on au amendment being proposed by Sir 11. WILLOUGUBY, Mr. ANSTEY consented to the eroposi lion for the chairman's reporting progress, which was agreed to, and the house having resumed, the bill was ordered to be re-committed on Wednesday next, and the house adjourned. As FRANCE now otves promise of a settled and a strong government, in which tho military clement must have considerable weight, it becomes important to consider the state of the countries bordering upon it, and of those struggles, calculated to tempt or pro voke French aggression, or to extend the circle of war and the number of belligerents. Hitherto the war in Lombardy has been favour able to the Italian cause. Not only was a large Austrian army ejected from the Milanese, bat that army, after receiving considerable reinforcemente, was defeated in the open field near Goito by the army of Piedmont, under the command of its sovereign. CHARLEs ALBERT, however, did not muke the most of that advantage. He has rather reposed on his laurels, than hastened to gather fresh ones. Verona, momenta rily undefended by the Austrian army, which had marched to the reduction of Vicenza, almost invited attack; bat CHARLEs ALBERT shrank from it, and has thereby excited the discontent of his soldiers and the murmurs of all Italy. It is the character of CHARLES ALBERT to act well and nobly upon im pulse, and then to become feeble and pusillanimous upon reflection. Such a relapse at this critical mo ment would be fatal to him, to his nascent power and empire, and by encouraging the democratic par ties opposed to him, may fling North Italy back into anarchy first, and foreign dependence after, at the very moment when it seemed in a fair way to attain the very goal of all political efforts—freedom, unity, and independence. The desire of the Austrian government is decidedly for peace, for peace upon what it considers fair terms, such terms as would leave Marshal ItauersKt and his army free to protect the unity of the German and Sclavonian dominions of Austria. The statesmen at both Innspruck and Vienna would consent to abandon all claim to the Milanese, provided that rich duchy took its fair proportion of the debt. But they are not prepared to cede the Venetian territory, of which they are at this moment in full possession, including the formidable fortresses which guard it. Marshal RADETSKI is at the head of some 40,000 men, and reinforcements are daily pouring in to h:m, which will raise his number to 50,000 or 53,000. On the other side of the Adige CHARLES ALBERT has 60,000 men ; and Milan and the other towns are making efforts, which will raise the Italian force to nearly 80,000. Bat, as it is incumbent on CHARLES ALBERT to take the offensive, a small disparity of numbers would be fully compensated to the Austrians by their strong positions. In such a state of things, it is feared, that CHARLES ALBERT might listen to the offer of Austria to cede the Milanese, on condition that the Venetian terri tories be left them. It is reported that England was applied to, for its mediation on such terms, and that our cabinet had consented. We believe this not to be the fact, and understand that a direct negotia tion is going on between the belligerents, and that an Austrian agent has been sent to Milan, and RADETSKI ordered to conclude an armistice to allow time for the consideration of the prop_sals. We arc very glad to learn that the British government has not under taken a mediation, so unlikely to lead to any satis factory or permanent result. The Italians, it is plain, can never consent to the amputa tion of one of the most glorious and historic portions of Italy. The Venetian population itself could never be reconciled to Austrian sway, even though organized as a separate province, and gifted with a constitution. And a treaty even when con cluded would be nothing more than an armed truce, which requires the same amount of seen, of precaution, and expenditure, as at present on both banks of the Adige. Venice would thus cost Austria more than it is worth. At the same time, unless CHARD:B AtIIERT gains one more striking military advantage, it is not to be seen how Austria can yield the Venetian territory. The Germans have a strong national feeling on the subject, and the Frankfort Diet was mad enough to propose an incursion of Bavarians into Italy as re venge for the blockade of Trieste. We need not say that a march of Bavarian troops through the 'Tyrol would assuredly bring the French over the Rhine. Better far that the quarrel be left between Austria and Lombardy than swell it to a rivalry, which ought ' not to exist between Italians and Germans. What is most to be hoped is, that the Provisional Government of Milan may come to some terms with the Austrian envoy for Lombardy's retaining Verona, Vicenza, and the territory south of a certain line, ceding to Austria Cadore and all that northern por tion of the Venetian territory which intervenes be tween the Tyrol and Vienna. The conquests of Venice followed up the course of the rivers which flowed into the Adriatic, and their success reduced the whole valley of the Piave to the mountains. There is no need of abiding by these old demarcations. Nor need Italy seek to extend beyond the Piave or the Lile. Were Basun:. and Treviso the frontier towns et North Italy, the Italians ought to be well con tented. There cannot be a more important element, a more desirable result in the necessary re-organisation of Europe, than the establishment of this Lombard or north Italian kingdom within natural and defensible frontiers. It would form a wide and wealthy empire, very "esowerful, yet most prone to peace. Lying be tween the two Mediterranean seas, affording a facile communication between the south-west and south-east of Europe,. possessing Venice and Genoa, it would be epunslung in trade and transit as in produc tion. prosperous, and pacific, and powerful a state i nterpose d ostweenFrance and Austria, would preclude all possibility of war between those states, and thus offer an immense guarantee to the peace of Europe, whilst it would at the same time complete the dreadful of lire loss ba lance of power. If 2mids: and property consequent upon the events of 1848, such a salutary result as an Italian kingdom should arise, Europe will at least hive compensation for its throes, not only in increaser: freedom of all countries, but in the restored nationality of Italy. Lotto NUOENT was, we believe, if no the inventor, the first promulgator of the specious excuse for refusing ti ) vote in support of Mr. HumE's motion, that though THE EXPRESS, 'I lIIIRSDAY ETENING, JUNE 29, 1848. prepared to support triennial parliaments, vote by 1 ballot, and bousetold suffrage ' he could not in con science support the equalisation of electoral districts. Of moat of the broad, leading outlines of Mr. Hume's plan of electoral reform Lord NUGENT approves, but because his lordship doubts as to one of its 'Foie provisions, he will not even vote for going into com mittee upon it. Priority of publication equally with priority of invention establish( s a claim to a patent for any new device, and therefore this one may be called the Nugent dodge. There is rod reason to believe that more than one of our soi-disant liberal members contemplate availing themselves of this evasion. On Friday evening—or at all events inafter.explanations with their constitn- sots—we shall find a number of these gentlemen demonstrating that they have voted against further reform, simply because of their excessive attachment to reform. One will profess to have had his spiced conscience revolted by one item of Mr. lints's pro gramme—another by another. Lord NUGENT dis approves of more equal electoral districts, because that would be to introduce a new principle into our electoral system ; another reforming member will fly off because he thinks the ballot un-English; a third will be unable conscientiously to support any thing short of manhood suffrage ; and a fourth will stand out for four-years' or two-years' parliaments as the case may be. And already the ministerial press is bring ing up its heavy artillery to cover the retreat of these shuffiers by opening a fire upon Mr. HUMS for shaping his motion so as to insure for it the minimum of support. It is already rating Mr. HUMP, for not confining himself to one or other head of his plan at a time. A plain straightforward statement of facts is all that is required to put these querulous subterfuges down. It is an indispensable requisite in any plan of electoral reform, deserving the name, that it ee:all be obviously adequate to effect a real change in our present system. To enable it to obtain the popular support required for success, this is necessary : the people will not give them selves tho trouble to support a measure not fitted to produce any perceptible result. And more than this, tolbring forward a sham measure of reform—a measure which would appear to extend popular in fluence without doing so in reality—would be dis graceful to those who undertake it ; would be a rank case of political swindling. It has therefore been in cumbent upon Mr. Hume, both as a politic leader and an honest man, so to shape his plan that it shall strike at all those notorious and recognised influences which render the House of Commons a merely nominal and illusory representation of the people. Now what arc the influences having this tendency that are publicly recognised as such by alt earnest reformers? lu the first place it is allowed that a seven years' lease of a seat in parliament is quite as efficacious as a life-lease in making members oblivious of their responsibility during the greater part of their term. It is trifling with men of common sense to say that, de fercto, tew parliaments last seven years. The power of shortening or lengthening them is vested in the minister for the time being, and this enables him to hold a dissolution in terrorem over such members as, counting upon a seven years' lease of power, have at any time yielded to his blandish ments. The uncertain duration of parliaments is an element of strength for a corrupt or imbecile ministry. In the second place it is allowed that open voting enables the wealthy and powerful to compel electors by intimidation, or to induce them by more insidious arts to vote against their consciences. In the third place it is admitted that the ten-pound qualification, except in a few rare exceptional cases, excludes from the franchise even those of the working classes whose superior intelli gence and independent position enable them to exer cise it with benefit, both to their own order and the community at largo. And it is only in towns that there is even a ten pound franchise. Lastly, it is confessed that the small constituencies arc mere tools in the hands of the great landowners and the moneyed aristocracy, the former holding the lion's share. So glaring is this fact, that to save appearances, a bill has been brought into parliament to promote the re formation of the few constituencies of this class whose conduct has been scrutinised since the last election; and it is not asserted that these doomed cone' ituencies are one jot worse than their fellows. The only diffe rence between them is that the contemplated victims of the bill have been caught in the fact, and that all the others have as yet escaped exposure. The influences which enable the holy alliance of the titled and un titled aristocracy—the class for which Lord JOHN RUSSELL claims a monopoly of administrative ap po'ntments—to pack the House of Commons by en suring the return of a majority composed of them selves and their dependants, are—the uncertain and possibly long duration of parliaments, the publicity of voting, the exclusion of a numerous class of intelligent and independent individuals from participation in the franchise, and the vesting in a number of small and easily corrupted constituencies the power of returning a numerical majority of members to the House of Commons. It was necessary for Mr. HUME to strike at all these abuses in his plan of reform, unless he was willing to present himself to the public in the cha racter of a juggler who cheats men's eyes with a show of doing what is not done, or of an incapable leader who exerts himself to carry a measure which he ought to know nobody will trouble themselves to aid him in carrying. The charge against Mr. Huts, therefore, that his motion embraces too many details, amounts simply to this—that it is too efficacious. 'I he practisers of the Nugent dodge in parliament, and its promoters in the press, disapprove of Mr. ACME'S measure simply because it is too real—too likely to be efficacious to serve their purposes. Mr. HUNIE'B motion embraces no perfect theory of representation, but a practical measure of re form, calculated to correct acknowledged abuses. Our small constituencies are mere nomination boroughs; a valuable and honest portion of the community are excluded from the exercise of the franchise; the poor and honest voter is exposed alternately to irresistible temptations and to the vengeance of the offended great; and selfish politicians who contrive to slip into parliament are emancipated from the sense of responsibility. An elec toral system, framed in the main upon Mr. lIUME'i model, would largely increase the number of electors, admitting an influential number of those classes who at present are excluded; would do away with these hole and-corner constituencies, which are the main prop of the bureaucratic oligarchy; would enable every man to vote in safety, according to his conscience; and would leave members of parliament no time to forget what they owe to their constituents, and what will be the consequence of abusing their delegated trust. The vote on Friday evening will, therefore, be simply a declaration on the part of each member voting, either that he wishes the House of Commons to remain constituted as it is, or that he wishes it to be reformed. There is no room left for paltering or equivocation. Members must either vote as reformers or as anti-reformers, for the people or against them. The Nugent dodge will deceive nobody. WE wish to direct the attention of lay members of the church to an audacious attempt to reintroduce the principle involved in the Test Act into an im portant division of our educational institutions. That act which, as our readers know, rendered it impera tive on various state functionaries to receive the Sacrament, was repealed some years back, upon good and solid grounds. As is inevitably the case when ever a useful reform takes place, the temporary oppo nents of the measure soon acquiesced in its pro priety. It is now acknowledged on all hands that the effect of that act was to exclude conscientious objectors to the Sacrament, and admit the urcon scientious or the profane. Now, the principle of the sacramental test is again proposed to be applied to the committees of management of church schools. The Bishop of EXETER, backed by an active party in the church, is endeavouring to persuade churchmen that there is no guarantee for the due education of the children in church schools unless the managers are regular communicants. We quote hie lordship's own words: Let some plain common sense rule be adopted, that no one shall belong to the committee who is net a regular commu nicant, or who at any time joins in worship with any sett. Now, the question to be mooted by churchmen is this: if this role is to be made absolute, into whose hands will the m,inagement of church schools fall ? The objections to the old sacramental test were that a great number of conscientious members of the Church of England never communicated, never received the sacrameo. influenced by conscientious e whet , scruples ; that her nonconf self-sty ormists or iled efidel be s, did not h entertain Etteh scruples, aad that C013111L16241-i4PlaaintenaliCe of the tot was in reality • oontraventien of the very principle which the test itself was intro duced to uphold. We wish to know what the Biehos uelme to warrantxwrencandihisooirveri; proposing in the ing altered statere-ed n• of the troduce the test. No opposition is offered to " church schools being placed under church management.' In spite of all the outcry against the government, we are persuaded that the Committee of Council is williog to recognise this maxim in its fullest extent have never once shrunk from recognising it. The bishop himself acknowledges that the qualifica tion of every member of a school committee is that he shall declare himself to be a band fide member of the Church of England; and the proper authorities have declared that it is the intention of the Privy Council that this requireff church-membership shall be subjected,if necessary, to proof. The bisho2 says that there is no proof of church-membership bit participa tion in the sacrament. We again ask, it ...its was no proof formerly, why is it a proof now ? Is the pro portionof communicants to non•communicants greater now than at the time of the repeal of the Test Act ? Is the criterion of their sincerity more certain? Both these questions ought to be answered in the affirmative, before the church can consent to entertain the proposal of the bishop, and then it will be necessary and proper to moot the question : is the required qualification necessary, sufficient, or expedient? Into whose hands, then, we repeat, will the management of the church schools fall, should the rule of the Bishop of EIETER be made absolute ? Is it into such hands that the church—meaning not only the commu nicants .but the whole body of professing member's— will feel secure that its interests will be properly cared for? We are asking a question which it behoves the clergy to answer: do the commu• nicants represent adequately the church as it exists in England ? Taking it for granted that every communicant is a truo and sincere son of the church ; making no deductions for the insincere, the formal, the superstitious, the interested ; taking into the account the gross number of communicants of both sexes and of all ages ; can any right-thinking man assert that this number is to bo called a true and proper exponent of the church of England ? Look into the greater number of our metropolitan churches, and you will find scarcely a congregation, scarcely any com municants. Look into the remainder, which, either from the influence of local circumstances or the powers of popular preachers, are filled, and you will find that the proportion of communicants to the congregation is exceedingly small. Will it be said that one in twenty of London's congregations communicates regularly? We think not. Now, we are merely stating facts, we are not considering whether the condition which these facts represent is right and proper. We limit ourselves to the assertion that the communicants of the church of England can be said to represent the whole church with no more propriety than that the said church represents the united religious feeling of the nation. It is time to speak plainly : the whole church is not represented by the communicants. We make the statement subject to correction, but we do think that out of a congregation of ono hundred taken at random through the country, it will be found not more than five communicate. The church of England is a larger, a more intelligent, a more im portant body than that which is represented by the communicants only. Why this is so, it is the busi• nese of the clergy to explain. There is a large clefs of (pacel'iiturorrs) bon, fide members of the church of England who, impressed with deep 'attachment to the church of their fathers, imbued with profoundly religious feelings, animated bye sincere love for ortho doxy and dislike for dissent, are still unable to pre vail upon themselves to receive the sacrament These persons form the large majority of the Church of England. The fact has been acknowledged in ser mons, in bishops' charges, in polemical pamphlets. Are these persons to be told, then, that they are outof the church? Are they to be refused permission to interfere in the most important of the concerns of the church ? Have they not a right to ask the reasons of their disqualification ? And if the reply is that this disqualification consists in their non•reception of the sacrament, have they not again a right to ask why they have not been as yet fully instructed in the pro priety and necessity of taking the sacrament ? Far be it from us to moot theological questions in the columns of a newspaper; we only enter a protest against the right of any church to impose as a test of true churchmanship the performance of a rite which it has not been able to persuade nineteen twentieths of its members to participate in. One word as to the charge of the bishop : We must be allowed to express an opinion that its delivery was a rather unseemly episcopal exhibition. The bishop, listening to nothing but the old polemical impulse, comes into the field as a stout theological pugilist. Instead of correcting the proof sheets of an cighteenpenny ramplilet in the back parlour of a religious bookseller, he tuck' up his lawn sleeves, and throws himself into a boxing attitude in the episcopal throne. For the first time since the days when " I'ulpit drum ecclesiastic was beat with fist instead of a stick," we have had a cathedral turned into a place of contest. We think it hard that the clergy of the bishop's diocese should be obliged to ex pend time and money away from their own parishes for the sakeof listening to tho manuscript of a contro versial pamphlet FRANCE. The following intelligence appeared in part of our last evening's impression : TUT9DAY, 6 Y.N. I have just made an extensive tour of the capital, the impediments to circulation being relaxed. Sen tinels are posted at the extremities of all the streets, and, where suspicion is excited, stop and search the passengers. Unoccupied shops are generally con verted either into guard-houses or " ambulances" for the wounded. I visited the Clos St. Lazare, now rendered so memorable fur the conflict there. This is an extensive area, attached to the new hospital in process of construction, formerly called the Hospital Louis-Philippe, and now called the Hospital of the Republic. It is covered with blocks of cut stone and other building materials; these were used by the insurgents to raise redoubts and defences : the walls are pierced with holes three or four feet asunder, to serve for loop-holes. There are but few dwelling-houses near this ; and, there fore, the effects of the conflict are not ihry ap parent. It is situated close to the station of the Northern ltailway. Passing through the Faubourgs St. Martin and St. Denis I found them filled with a busy crowd of the lower orders many of whom were inquiring after and tending their wounded friends in the " ambulances." The barricades have been all, without exception, levelled, and the pavement where ever it was torn up has been relaid ; the inhabitants of the respective localities assistin4 in the work. The line of the Boulevards from the Boulevard Bonne- Nouvelle to the Bastille presents a strange spectacle ; the broad footway on either side is spread with straw, on which the soldiers are extended : some lie sleeping, others sit taking refreshment, others are seen reading the journals, or conversing on the events of the day. Officers mingle among the men, on apparently equal terms. _ _ On either side of the carriage road are ranged the horses of the cavalry, which are supplied with pro vender, giving tho entire line of the Boulevard the appearance of a vast stable. The extensive apace unoccupied above the Chateau d'Eau, and near what was Franconi's theatre has been selected as the station for the artillery. An immense number of guns of every description, including howitzers and mortars, ammunition waggons, &c. are collected there. At intervals along the carriage road vans are seen which are commonly used for the removal of furniture; these are tilled with bread for the use of the military. Waggons loaded with wine casks and water casks are also seen from place to place, the wine being drawn from the casks on the spot for the refreshment of the soldiers. From place to place piles of small bags containing oats for the horses are perceived, and carts laden with bay are continually passing. What remains not thus occupied in the centre of the car riage road is crowded with mrious spectators , pro. menading as they would on the occasion of some public celebration. Funerals of National Guards and soldiers axe en countered every where proceeding to the cemeteries, preceded by the muffled drum. It is customary here, as a mark of respect for the dead, fur the passer by to stop and uncover. I observed this usage of course, but in one case the officer commanding the escort desired me to cover, and show no mark of mined. On inquiring the cause of this, I found that the MI was that of Larroque, one of the principal leaders of the insurrection, the editor of the journal called Pere Duchene. We have received the Madrid mails of the 22nd. Orlando has put forth his financial plan, a detail of which, furnished by our correspondent, will be found under the head of Money Market- Our correspondent informs us that the declara tion of Lord J. Russell in parliament, that Isturitz had been dismissed, !au created a good deal of alarm at Madrid, and entirely dispelled the comfortable effects of the Heraldo's assurance the day before, that the retirement of Isturitz was quite voluntary. The Eepagna publishes a letter from Bayonne, giving a supposed organisation of the Carlist army which is to invade Spain. The commanders are dis tributed thus : Navarre and Basque provinces, Gen. Elio; Alava, Gen. Prudencio Sopelana ; Guipuzcoa. Gen. Alzaa; Biscay, Oen. Zabala ; Old Castile, Gen. , Arroyo ; Andalusia, Gen. Gomez ; Mancha, Gen. lloyo; Catalonia, Gen. Burjo; Aragon and Valencia, Cabrera; Chief of Staff, Zariategui ; Aragon, Gen. Foreadell. I hear that Ntontemolin has succeeded in borrowing 300,000!. But his army will make the country bear the war. A Queen's messenger was hourly expected from England, conveying orders for the breaking up of the rest of the ambassadorial establishment here. Mr. Brackenbury will, it is supposed, be left alone in all his glory as consul. Ruett y Guel, the husband of the Infanta Jlsefa, has modestly applied to the government for the post of ambassador at Berlin. He has come up to Madrid Ito beg pardon for having married into the royal 'family. Guel is a poet, and as poor as that class usually are. GERMANY. All the intelligence from the German states is con tained in the following letter from; our correspondent at Cologne : COLOGNE, JUNE 27. Nething positive, or rather nothing official. is known re 'pectins/ the formation of the new Prussian ministry. Never theless it is all hut certain that Herr Auerewald has 'suc ceeded in forming an administration, he being president of the council; Kuhlweller (of Aix-la-Chapelle), minister of the interior ; Milde, minister of commerce ; Itodburtue, minister of public worship; Von Schleinitz, minister of foreign affairs; Hanemann, justice; Von Schreekenstein, war ; and Maereker, justice. The next post, however, may bring the intelligence that this combination has been broken up ; for there is, according to all accounts, an immense dif ficulty in composing a new minietry. Meantime consider able excitement prevails in Berlin, and the various political clubs display the greatest activity. The members of the democratical central committee have received orders to quit the capital. Twelve counts, eighteen barons, and several members of the lower order of nobility, residing near Konigsbere, have forwarded addresses to the ministry pro lens. at Berlin in favour of the establishment of a first chamber (a species of House of Lords), in the formation of which due regard may be paid to large landed property ; and in support of their address they refer to the English House of Lords, as to an il lustrious example, and declare that in that house the English people view the chief support of their ri ;hts and liberties. On Thursday next the trooos of the duchy of Mecklenburg Strelitz will march through Hamburg, en rotate for Schleswig Holstein. The family relations between that duchy and the Danish court render this step a very delicate one on the part of the former, the divorced wife of his Majesty of Denmark (a Mecklenburg princess) receiving a handsome annuity from him. The duchy, however, es a portion of the Ger manic confederation, has been obliged to obey general orders. According to accounts from Vienna, of the 22nd inst., much excitement prevailed amongst the working classes, although 20,000 of them were employed at the expense of the state, which daily expended from 8,000 to 10,000 florins. We have letters here from l'rague up to the same date. The city is tranquil, and the houses have suffered less damage titan might have been expected. Counts Villani, Boucquoi, and several members of their families, are in custody. Some other leading members of the conspiracy were summarily executed, after having been taken in arms. Several German journals depict in forcible terms the excesses committed by the Czechs, and communicate the plan of the conspiracy, the main point of which (according to those journals) was the massacre of all the Germans in Prague. The statements of German journals, however, must not ho implicitly believed, as proved by the atrocious calumnies they propagated respecting the Polish inhabitants of Posen. _ According to the Breslau Gazelle, the Emperor of Austria (King of Hungary) is expected at Pesth on the 30th inst. The insurrection was still spreading in several parte of Hun gary, particularly about Neusatx, where the discontented Servians and Illyrian' were (according to accounts from Perth of the 19th) awaiting the attack of the Hungarians. It has been officially stated that 40,000 more troops are re quired to put down the insurrection. On the 24th, the Frankfort Constituent Assembly was still occupied with the discussion of the motion relating to the establishment of a central power. The groat paint of debate is whether that power, when created, shall have a veto, or shall be obliged to promulgate the decrees of the assembly. During the discussions, Herr Raveaux, the Cologne deputy and popular orator, spoke in warm terms of the National Assembly of France, and asked the members to rise from their seats in acknowledgment of the friendly behaviour and expressions of that body. Nearly all the members of the Constituent Assembly immediately rose up amidst loud and long-continued cheers from all parts, including the public tribunes. The debate was resumed yesterday (Monday), but the result has not yet transpired. Immediately after the adjournment of the house the Freach Charge d'Affaires, accompanied by hie secretary, waited on Ilerr Raveaux, and warmly thanked him for the sentiments he bad expressed with regard to the French republic. ROME JUNE 18. The Roman Gazette of last night contains the I lreport of a stormy debate (extending over fourteen columns) in the Roman Commons, touching the eva lcuation of Vicenza by the papal troops, and the gene ral conduct of the war. Bonaparte (Canino), who would seem to take on himself the office of leader on the opposition benches, and who is supposed to look on himself as the embryo president of a future repub lic, was violent to a degree that frequently required the interposition of the speaker, Sereni. He in veighed in no measured terms against the poltroonery and inefficiency of the pontifical officers, moat of whom, he said, had " obtained their promotion in evil days, and owed their epaulettes to their personal baseness and bigotry." Dr. Farini, a member of administration, moved thereupon that "the thanks of this assembly are due to the Roman soldiers who did not despair of their country before a superior force, and that the Swiss guards, who fought in defence of Vicenza, deserved the rights of Roman citizenship." A boisterous discussion ensued, which occupied the day,concerning ministerial responsibility, deficient ammunition, Hannibal, the merits of Carlo Alberto, and other topics, when the doctor carried his vote. Professor Orioli, who heads the conservative section, powerfully aided Count Mamiani, the premier, who fought his own battle well. A sum of two million dollars was voted for continuing the war. The speeches on both sides were vigorous and spirited. The Commons sit in the spacious edifice of the Can eelleria, which, like other colossal structures, has been quarried out of the Colosseum. The press this week has exhibited its power. There lurked in the post-office a Tyrolese bearing the chivalrous name of Hofer, but whose office, instituted under the late ;government, was to sift and ex purgate the journals of Germany and suppress any thing that might be unpalatable to the then existing system. The Pallatle of the 12th inst. made a furious onslaught on this office and its holder as incompatible with a free press in Rome. On the 15th there ap -Ipeared in the newspapers& notification that Hofer had " obtained permission to resign." Let him begone to Croatia, Moravia, Styria, or any other barratro della Tedeschcria, and exercise then and there his inquisi torial functions, is the cry of the PaNde. Gioberti left our city on the 12th, escorted by mounted earabiniers as guard of honour. We have news of his triumphant reception at Perugia, and of his entry into Ancona on the 13th, cheered by magistrates and population. The dividends due on the Rothschild loan con tracted by Gregory in 1831, and hitherto payable on the bourse of Paris, have, by a late decree of govern ment, been made receivable here, owing to the un satisfactory and perilous state of that commercial mart. Yesterday was the second anniversary of the elec tion of our gracious sovereign, and the usual con course of his faithful subjects, with music, torchlights, and evrieas, crowded the avenues of the Quirinal last night: to-morrow the two chambers go up in formal deputation of homage and fealty. We have here the usual amount of rev. and right rev. squabblers from Ireland about education and so forth; but as nothing has been achieved by either of the belligerents worth notice, and you are as sick of such doings as the Romans are, I drop the subject.
