PARIS, WEDNESDAY, HALP.PAST 10 A.M. There is little intelligence of a domestic nature to communicate this morning. All attention here has been engrossed by the events of Monday in London, and not a little disappointment was felt by certain parties because another 24th February was not the resit of the operations of the Chartists. General Cavaignac having, in lately refusing the mi n i s try of War, declared that he would only accept it so c ompulsion as a matter of obedience, the Provi email Government has sent a despatch to the general ordering him to accept the portfruille. The project for the absorption of the railways by the state is nut yet quite mature ; at least all the members of the government have not come to an agreement upon it. It will emanate from the finan ciers, where the draft of it is now preparing, and will most probably take a definitive form and be presented to the railway companies before the close of the week. The 200,000 National Guards were, it is pretended, mobilised as a precaution in case of war. Of the actual army there are not more than 100,000 men who could, in ease of need, bo marched to the frontiers. It has been decided that the palace of the Louvre shall be c onnected by additional buildings with that ci the Tuileries, and that the royal library shall be de- riti s d there. The entire pile will thus form the t museum and library in the world. The palace at Menden will he converted into an hospital for civil invalids. ham Aram 11.—Neer Loan, —; Three per Cents., 411; Do. pre per (kilts., 61; Four-and-Half, 48 ; Fours, —; Belgian pl m , 1940, 57; Do. 1812, 28 , Do.

LOMBARDY. Wo have dates (ruin Milan to the evening of the 6th. th * lAustrian forces were still retiring from the line of the Oglio and Chia*, and were concentrating as that of the Mincio. It is admitted in the reports *limbed by the Provisional Government and the Urdinian journals, that the positiosand condition of the enemy was not yet so desperate as it had been represented. A continual line of military communi cation was still maintained between Mantua and Trent by the eastern bank of the Lego di Garda. Mantua, the fortress of which we learn has been rveral times, in former wars, in the power of the Teeple, does not seem to have yet been surrendered by the Austrians. It formed the extreme left of their line of opera tions at the departure of the last advices. They occupied from that point the right bank of the Mario, rnnning directly north to the extremity of the lake. The centre of operations is reported to be et Verona, and the extreme right of the line at Pechieca. Charles Albert had advanced, as we stated yester day, to Borzoi°, and was, at the date of the last ad vies, advancing upon the extreme left of the Am ino at Mantua. His advanced posts were then at %ream One of his objects was to effect a junction with the Roman and Tuscan auxiliaries who were ad apting by the left bank of the Po towards Mantua. On the night of the 6th the Austrian troops which beireenpied Monte Chiaro, Loriato, and Calcinato, pas in advance of their general line on the Mincio, lathe road leading to Brescia, evacuated these sta- Xria and retreated in two divisions—one upon Man 4, and the other upon Verona. In this movement ney were closely followed by the Lombard and Pied- 'little troops. General Bes was to have encamped on the 7th, vith the main body of the troops under his com ma& at Monte Chiaro. Communications were kept tp between this position and the troops under Gene nl at Castenedolo, in the rear of the position the road to Brescia. Along the line of the lower Po the Austrians were iTetYwbere capitulating. The ports of Magnavacta ad Comacchio capitulated on the 6th and were rimmed, arms and baggage remaining in them. tine of Bondeno and Ferrara were occupied by the rcetifical troops. The insurrection continued to 'Pend in the \ enetian province of Friuli. General Zxchi occupied the line of lconzo, and defended that battier.

NM azd ...A% MM. GERMANY. THE BILL FOR RAISING A NEW PRUSSIAN LOAN. PRUSSIA.—We have received oar maul files of German paper,, and oar oorrespondeaoe. The fol lowing is the letter of oar correspondent at Berlin : ____ BERLIN, Aram to. I am enabled to forward to you an analysis of the re port of the committee appointed in the diet to express an opinion respecting the bill for raising a loan, referred to in a recent communication. The i report itself (which will not be published in any journal before to-morrow evening) will be submitted to the diet to-morrow morning. the report is divided' into two parts—the first examining whether extra ordinary supplies are necessary, and the second the way in which those supplies should be raised. In the former part it is stated that the transition from an old to a new system has disturbed publics ceder and commercial transactions; that in many places the taxes had not been paid; and that the present revenue does not cover the ordinary expenditure. The prospect of • war, it is added, must not be altogether lost sight of, lad Prussia must continue to make military pre parations, not that a war is actually impending, but because a country is best enabled to maintain peace when it is most able to wage war. Besides, it is urged, unforeseen circumstances may arise to pro duce hostilities even with the best disposition to guard against them. The property, moreover, of private individuals is menaced on certain points, and that property must be protected. [Notwithstanding the vagueness of those terms, the security of the Prussian frontiers in the direction of Russia is hinted at.) The report proceeds to state that the additional expenses incurred by calling out.the infantry war reserve, and and a portion of the Landwehr, will be some 500,000 thalers per montk over and above the ordinary sums required. It is insinuated also that it will be neces sary to repress the excesses arising from the abuse of free institutions; hence further expenses. Moreover, the constituent assembly will be convoked, it Is thought, in two months, when further ex penses will be incurred ; so that altogether the report holds out the prospect, that for covering the foregoing expenses some two millions of thalers will be required, and should it un fortunately be found necessary to call out all the army and all the Landwehr, that sum will be raised to not lead than fifteen millions. In a former communication I stated that no little surprise was expressed in political circles at the intel ligence that there only remained four millions and a half of thalers in the reserve fund of the state trea sury. The report refers to that fund, and sets forth that in the beginning of the year 1847 there were nineteen millions and a half of dialers in the reserve fund ; that eleven millions of it was expended in the purchase of corn, &c., during the time of famine, in advances to the Bank of Prussia, in the formation of discount banks in the provinces, and is one or two other ways. Entering more into details, the report states that after expending two millions in increasing the army, and in taking measures for restoring public order, and one million in giving public employment to the unoccupied; and atter deducting another two millions to cover the probable deficit of the na tiotal revenue, there will only remain, as a reserve fund, 3,500,000 thalers, which is about the sum which I gave in anticipation some two or three days ago. Even that sum will be required in esta blishing discount banks in the provinces, where no accommodation can be now had on any terms. In deed, the same may be said of this capital, if not of almost every large town. No assistance, it is added, can be expected from private sources ; in fact, the re port might hare declared, with perfect truth, that private banks are now looking up to the government itself for auxiliary measures. It is upon all those grounds that the government demand the authori sation to raise a loan of fifteen millions of thalers, and the positive necessity for such a loan is fully recog nised by the committee in their report. In the second part, it is set forth that government demands as a maximum, twenty-five millions of thalers, chiefly for the purpose of diminishing the misery of the lower classes, and of upholding the interests of industry and agriculture. Previously to this statement the report energetically blames the former system of government, which it indirectly holds responsible for the secession now observable of the working classes from their employers. After touching on some matters not of general in terest the report states that the committee decided unanimously that it would be advisable to authorise government to raise extraordinary supplies, to the amount of 15 millions of thalers, for the internal and external defence of the country; and, moreover, to guarantee to government a further sum of 25 millions for the purpose of re-establishing public credit and improving the prospects of commerce, trade; and agri culture. Altogether it is now officially stated that Prussia requires 40 millions of thalers, the exact sum which I gave in last Thursday's or Friday's commu nication. Many of the _persons chosen by the Diet as dele gates to the Frankfort convention are warmly objected to by the public. Indeed, it is expected that they will decline to fill the posts assigned to them. The excitement and uneasiness which prevail amongst the working classes give rise to numerous proclamations, circulars, addresses, and public meet ings. It is clear that much recip rocal distrust exists between the so-called citizen class and the operatives, although, art° the present time, there does not ap pear any good ground for it. All this morning numerous groups have been stationed in front of the palace reading a proclamation issued by the civic authorities, another drawn up by the editor of a new popular journal, and a third addressed to the people of Berlin by the Polish committee. In the first the working classes are strongly recommended to refrain, not only from all excesses, but from all ap pearance of excesses, in order to restore public con fidence, and with it to revive trade, now so dreadfully depressed. It is asserted in this proclamation that paper money had lost half its value, and that nume rous timid persons had left or were about to leave the capital, whose presence in it was of much advantage. It is declared also that the government and the civic authorities are devising plans night and day for the amelioration of the condition of the working classes. In the second proclamation alluded to the two follow ing points are mainly supported :-1. That the go vernment is bound to provide or procure employment for all persons willing and able to take it. 2. That government is bound also to regulate the wages, not only in proportion to the work done, but also with reference to the prices of the necessary articles of life. In the third proclamation the people of Berlin are entreated not to believe all the reports propagated respecting the excesses committed by the Poles, not to destroy the bond of brotherhood by dissensions re specting a mere question of boundary, but to aid the Poles against the common enemy—" Asiatic despot him." The groups who succeeded each other appeared to read these respective proclamations with much at tention, but without any comment. AUSTRIA.—The Austrian Gazette of the 6th inst. warmly denounces the recent proclamation of the Emperor Nicholas as a production which might be looked for from a Tamerlane. It is added that Russia will be under the necessity of taking up arms against its internal enemies, and of directing the lances of the Cossacks against the hearts of the Russian people themselves; but Russia, it is remarked, mast never reckon upon any allies in Europe.—The Vienna relief committee has opened a depot for goods upon which money is advanced.—A deputation from Austrian- Poland presented an address to the Emperor on the 4th. They were very cordially received by the in- habitants in general. It appears that no slight discontent exists in the German provinces of Russia, on account of the non performance of promises made by . that power to the peasantry in return for the conversion of the latter to the Gree religion. A desire to be connected with I the old parent soil is fast spreading in those provinces. FRANKFORT.—'fhe Journal de Franefort pub lishes the report of the Germanic diet appointed to revise the federal constitution, in which the recom mendation of the committee of fifty to have one re presentative for every 50,000, instead of for every 70,000, is adopted. It is also revoked that if the excess of population of a state be 25,000, over 50,000 for which one member is named, then irwill have a right to elect a second representative ; and that every state having a population in number below 50,000, will still have the right to elect a member. As for the election of deputies to the constituent assembly, eligibility is not to be limited by disposition as to census, creed, or class. Any German who is not a minor has a right to elect and be elected ; nor is it necessary that he should be a native of the state which he is to represent in the assembly. The THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 13, 1848. assembly is to be convoked sou it may meet for the ' first time on the let of May. The commission annexes a table showing the number of members to be elected by each state, the total amount of which will, award ing to the census of 1842, amount to 605. Of these Austria will send 190 ; Prussia, 159 ; Bavaria, 71 ; Wurtemberg, 28 ; Hanover, 26 ; Saxony, 24 ; Baden, 20 ; Hesse Darmstadt, 12 ; Hesse Cassel, 11. The remaining 64 are from the smaller states. The total populations represented by these 605 members is 30,164,392. The report of the committee is followed by the decree of the diet adopting it. The committee of 50 at Frankfort has published two proclamations to Germany, in which the reasons for the assembling of the - preparatory assembly are stated, as well as the heels which it has adopted for its action. The last are—liberty of expressing opinions freely, liberty of conscience and creed, right of meeting, protection of individual liberty, indepen dence of tribunals, and institution of trial by jury, protection for the working classes, just repartition of taxes, independence of parish ad ministration. In order to ensure these, con tinues the proclamation, the assembly has decreed the general armament of the people. We must also be armed against the external enemy and be prepared to repulse aggression. The assembly has admitted Schleswig and Eastern and Western Prussia into the Germanic Confederation. It hue abolished the scheme ;FtlTaivielotT;i7oreind: Whatever may be the consequences of this, Germany is strong enough to answer for the consequences. The proclamation then calls on the German people to proceed to the work of the elections, and not to rest until they have created Germany united and free. THE CHARTIST CONVENTION. At the afternoon sitting Mr. Discs wished the Convention tl2 down some distinct line of policy by which they pro-' p 0,4 to carry the Charter. It was ridiculous to hear ace delegate preaching the doctrine at 'sere force at the public muting' to which he was sent, and another declaring that there was nothing like the strong arm of physical power. If it were to be a physical force agita tion, why let them all as so (hear); but it the Convention agreed with him in that the Charter would be ob tained by moral agitation, why let them all agree in that doctrine, and address the people accordingly. He believed with Mr. O'Connor that much injury had been done to their cause by the effusion of a great deal of rabid nonsense which had been spouted in the metropolis during the last els weeks, and which had been properly compared by Mr. O'Connor to " the effervescence of pop bottle*? His opinion was, that neither in this nor any other country Gould they organise a physical organisation to overthrow the government. If such a thing had to come at all it would come, bet they must leave it to the chapter of accidents, and they only deferred its coming by talking about it. (Hear.) Mr. Hannay hoped that the motion would be withdrawn, because a discussion upon it would only introduce division into that room. Mr. WHEISLIR said, there was • difference among the delegates on the subject. It was madness to talk about physical force at present, but the day might come when they must not only talk about it bus use it. (Loud cheers.) Until then, and until they were prepared for that moment, they had better not discuss the subject. The motion was than withdrawn. Mr. LEECH moved a resolution, declaring that the con vention saw with pleamire the growing feeling among the middle and higher classes in favour of the admissi.ds of the working classes to a share in tke elective franchise. Mr. Hauser had no objection to the motion, but he could not forget that the government would not have dared to have brought out their police and military on Monday as they did, if they had not felt that they had the middle classes at their backs. (Hear, hear.) A discussion took place upon the motion, which was adjourned until to-morrow (this day). MEETING TO PROMOTE EMIGRATION.

It Is hoped that the society will obtain the willing athoperstion of the various branches of her Majesty's government in endecionms which are intended and are calculated to assist throe departments which preside ever the mar...gement of the poor and over emigration. The CHAIRMAN said the legislature was that morning en gaged iu the discussion of a bill for the better protection of the crown, which was rendered necessary by the existence of disaffection throughout the country. This disaffection could be rale ascribed to that vast increase in the population which was becoming too great for the country to support ; and for this evil the encouragement of emigration was the only efil , dent remedy. The increasing population was fast exhausting the resources of both this country and Ireland ; distress was increasing on all . ides; the workhouses throughout the country were filled to overflowing ; and it was important that the most stringent endeavours should be made to prevent the country from going to utter rain. The only difference be tween the present scheme and the others which had been proposed was that it sought to gain its means from different and various sources. The stream of emigration had gone, not to our own colonies, but to foreign states—leaving our owe colonies, and enriching and strengthening those of other countries The great object the promoters of the so ciety had in view was to direct the stream into a channel from which this country would derive benefit. The difference of the coat of passage to Australia and to the United States wan not so great so had been stated. The present cost of carrying an emigrant to Australia was only IV. or 141, and when there, there wax no chance, such was the demand for labour, of his be f og left in a state of destitution or exposed to any expe asides to which emigrants to America were too frequently subjected. The manner in which their object should be carried out was by dividing the expense; for it wan only just that while this country and her colonies reaped equal benefit from emigration, that they should bear an equal share of the burden. So far from the scheme being a• attempt to take the matter out of the hands of the go vernment, it was only a means of assisting them in what formed a part of their proper duties. The Hon Mr. KINNAIRD moved the first resolution. He said that no time ought to be lost in providing employment and subsistence for our vast surplus population; and he con sidered that the evil would be removed, and great benefits conferred on the colonies, by affording more encouragement to emigration thereto. He thought that the circumstance of the colony in question being a penal one, had operated materially to its prejudice in the public mind; and this prejudice it should be one of the main objects of the so- ciety to remove, which he considered would be best effected by a diffu-ion iu a popular form of publications, by which the people might learn the real condition of the country, and the adventages there held out to them. He moved : That the A colonies, including New Zealand, offers large and meet valuable field for emigration to the distressed and crowded population of this country, and whose eaugretion to these colonies i would be alike a bettering to themselves, and a boon to the colony which receives them; and that to admit of this emigration being carried out to the requisite extent, it is even' ial that • portion of its expense should be contributed by unions, parishes, end other bodies, together with landlords, or by emigrants %amnia& Capt. Sevier seconded the resolution. An experience of twenty•two years in Amaral& had left no doubt in his mind of the superior advantages to emigrants contained in that country over the Canada., to regard to climate, the absence of those large woods and forests which were so great an in cumbrance to the land in the latter country, the greater fertility of the land, te.—The resolution having been adopted, mt.

There was only one thing wanted to make Australia almost the greatest continent in the world—life to occupy it. If I their objects were carried out, the country at home would be supplied with commodities from which it would derive im mense advantages, and the benefits which would be obtained by the colony itself would be no leas extensive. And in pro ducing these results he thought the formation of the society would be a material element. Mr. Born seconded the resolution. Dr. LANG moved the formation of a committee to drew up the rides of the society and arrange its formation. He spoke of the great benefits which would result from a more general system of emigration to Australia. In the article of cotton alone this country would reap so great an advantage that it would soon be enabled to undersell Brother Jonathan and his Irmo.

DEPARTCRE Or TROOPS FROM LONDON.—The 2nd battalion of the Grenadier Guards and the 2nd battalion of the Coldstream Guards, which came to town on Saturday evening last for the preservation of the peace, retain to their respective quarters this day ; the first mentioned ;to Chichester, and the other to Windsor. WRECK OE AN EMIGRANT SHIP.—ORRAT LOW or Lten.—The English emigrant ship, Omega, 1,277 tons burden, belonging to Sumner, Mr. David Garrick, commander, which sailed from Liverpool on the 16th of January last, with 315 emigrants for New York, and also the Barbara, of Nova Scotia, which went to the rescue of the unfortunate creatures on board, have been wrecked. Tr.e subjoined details have been received at Lloyds :—The Omega besides the three hundred and fi ft een emigrants on board, had a crew of about thirty hands. During the first two weeks of her voyage the weather was extremly fine, but on the 4th of February the Omega encountered the first of a succession of heavy gales, in which she lost her spore and sails, and eventually her rudder; and for another week she drifted about entirely at the mercy of the waves. On the 17th of February she was fallen in with by the barque Aurora, from Wales, bound to St. John's, New Brunswick, and as she was in ballast it was dam led that the passengers and crew of the Omega should be put on board the Aurora and they suc ceeded in getting about one hundred and thirty of the pas sengers on board, but the weather became tempestuous, and one of the boats of the Omega, containing the second mate and four of the crew, was immediately swamped and all pe rished. The Aurora, owing to the increasing vioteace of the gale, was compelled to make sail, and for several days the Omega continued to be driven about until she was fallen in with by the brig Barbara, of Nova Scotia, on her passage to Cork from New York. The master eused part of her cargo to be thrown overboard to make room for the poor emigrants, of whom one hundred and fifty were got on board, together with two cuts of water. But this had hardly been accomplished when the gale sprung up, and the Barbara, for her own safety, was obliged to leave the Omega, with the master, mate, eight seamen, and 25 passengers still on board. The Barbers was soon lost sight of. Two days afterwards the barque High land Mary, from Liverpool, bore down upon the Omega, and with considerable difficulty the remainder of the emigrants, with the commander and his crew, were rescued. When the Barbara met with the unfortunate Omega, the former Ind but a few days' supply of water; and as they succeeded in getting only two casks from the wreck, the large addition to the number of her crew caused the want of it to be imme diately and severely telt, so much so, indeed, that many were compelled to eat ice and drink salt water. At this time, assert the master, a homeward bound steamer hove in sight, when signals of dietress were made. The steamer bore down to within ten or fifteen yards of the Barton, when the master of the latter vessel acquainted the steamer that they were out of water, and it was further added, " there are 150 persons on board dying for want of water," to which the reply from the steamer was, " There's land; go there and get it;" and then pseud on without showing any inclination to render them assistance, though the wind was blowing off the land so strongly at the time that it was impossible to make it. She then bore for the small harbour of Hernia, but in the course of the night, in wearing ship she lost two tuts. On the weather somewhat moderating she succeeded in gaining the harbour ; and the caotain, seeing several boats near, re quested them to obtain the assistance of some pilots in order to place the vessel in safe anchorage. The boats went ashore, and on their return announced the refusal of the pilots to come off. The captain then attempted a course for St. John's, and in doing so it is supposed mistook Heart's Point (near Petty Harbour) for Cape Spear, where she became be calmed, and was carried by the current ashore. Twenty of the passengers contrived to Rain the cliffs by crawling along the bowsprit. The tide soon rising and the wind veering round to the eastward, carried the vessel tardier up the coast, and striking her heavily on the edge of a rock stove her bottom in. Thirty more passengers managed to reach the rocks in safety, but immediately afterwards the vessel fell over on her side, and went down with one hundred and fifteen men, women and children, all of whom were drowned. Many of thou who succeeded in gaining the shore before the vessel struck perished in the course of the following night from exhaustion and exposure to an intense frost. About 70 bodies hod been found up to the time of this information being despatched. Respecting the Aurora, wo learn that she arrived at Halifax about the 29th of February: upwards of 70 of the emigrants had however died from the dreadful privations they endured, and others were so exhausted as to give little hope of recovery. The Omega, previous to her departure from Liverpool, under went thorough examinations by the government emigration agents. It is stated she is insured to the extent of 20,0001. INQUESTS, YESTERDAY.—SIIt CHARLES WM. KENT, DART . OF THE IST LIFE GUARDB.—By Mr. G. 1. Mills, in the officers' room of the ltegent's-psrk Barna*, Albany street on the body of Capt. Sir Charles William Kent, Dart., aged 29, of the lot Regt. of Life Guards.—Win. Gledhill de posed that he was valet to the deceased, who bad been ailing for some time past, and complained of a pain in his left side. —CoL Hall slid he was commanding officer of the mgt. On Saturday morning, about 11 o'clock, he called at the quarters of Sir Charles WM. Kent, to inquire after his health, and was informed by the previous witness that he was much bet ter. Oa entering deceased's apartment he was alarmed at seeing him in bed, and the bed clothes covered with blood. He raised an alarm, and sent instantly for Dr, Campbell, the regimental surgeon, who, on arrival, said deceased wan dead. —Dr. Campb.li deposed that be had made a past mortem examination, and found the came of death was a rupture of the descending aorta into the tesophagus.—The deputy coroner explained to the jury the nature of the disease under which deceased laboured, and remarked that it was precisely that under which Dr. Liston, the emi nent surgeon, had died of.—The jury ultimately returned a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony.— EXTRAORDINARY St ICIDE.—By Mr. Wm. Payne, at the Horse and Doreen, Bread-street hill, on the body of a man, nsme unknown.—John Goose, City police-constable, paid that, on Monday last, he wan sent to No. 4, Bradley's-build ings, by bin inspector. On arriving there he found the window-shutters closed. Having opened the door, he found lying in the middle of the room about 3 cwt. of horse-shoe nails, and from 60 to 70 farriers' files. There was also a turn-up bedstead, and, on looking behind the part turned up, he saw the deceased lying almost horizontally, with a rope tied round his neck, and quite dead. Apparently he had been in that state fur several days. The room was in an exceedingly dirty state, and deceased had his shirt and trousers only on. The sum of 12s. 6d. was found in the apartment.—Mr. Green, ward beadle, said that he lived op polite, and had known the deceas ed by sight for three months. He did not know his name, nor any of his friends. About three weeks since .te was sent for by some of the neighbours, who told him they thought something was the matter with deceased. Witness went, and found him lying on the sacking of the bedstead with the mattress and b ed over him. He was greatly exhausted, and was evidently trying to smother himself. He refused on that oecuion to have any medical assistance, and said he should stop where he was and die.—Mr. K. Beal, of 7, Little Trinity-lane, said that he had known the deceased fur twelve or fourteen years. lie did not, however, know his name. On Friday last he told witness that he had got some business to transact in France, and that he should be there in a few days. Witness told him that he must be a madman to go there when the government was driving all the English out. He however said he was determined to go, and spoke about Bolling his furniture to witness on the following day. When he went round to the deceased's room the next day ke found' the shutters closed, which made him think he had gone off to Fence. The Coroner said if publicity was given to the case by the press, in all probability some one connected with the deceased would be found, and he adjourned the inquiry for that purpose.

ADDRESS OF THE PARIS PROGRESS SO CIETY TO THE PROGRESSIVE SOCIETIES OF ENGLAND, IRELAND, AND SCOTLAND. We, year countrymen, residing in Paris, being de votedly attached to the cause of political and social progress, have formed ourselves into a society to ail in cultivating • good understanding between the people of Great Britain and the people of France : and more particularly between the leading men and parties of the progressive movement in the two countries ; and to aid in the cause of progress generally. We are decided opponents of legislation by the few, and for the few, to the injury of the many. We advocate uni ' venal suffrage. We desire the social elevation of the people. Wean friends of peace between all nations. In a word, we adopt the great principles of Liberty, Equality, fraternity, Our main obct, in the meantime, is to neutralise the germs of war, w hich might impede tho peaceful transfot ma non of society in Europe, so suddenly end providentially commenced in France. From the gross misrepreeentations of some of the London journals, we feel convinced that the British public is, in a great me.,sure, deprived of the means of duly and calmly appreciating the great revolutionary movement, now disorganising and reorganising the political and social institutions of Europe. Our special aim, as • society, shall be to form a link be tween progressists in all countries, and more especially be tween the people of France and England. We are already in communication with the leading men and parties of the progressive movement here; and to enable us to accomplish our object fully, it is necessary that we should enter into communication with the numerous societies in England, Scotland, and Ireland, whose principles are thew of pro gress, pence, and universal brotherhood. We therefore earnestly solicit their assistance, by every possible means, to unite in a good understanding the people of France and the people of England, whatever the policy of governments may be with regard to war and blind resistance to progressive movements. We desire to aid in connecting together all parties who are determined to fight the moral battle of the people, in all countries, against the force of armed privilege and opprenive monopoly. It will be easy, we hope, by means of the liberal press in both countries, and by means of rersonal missions and com munications. to accomplish our aim. Our secretary, who now conveys this address to England, will be enabled, on our part, to communicate personally with the principal pro gressive leaders and societies of Great Britain, and explain more fully our principles and objects, and, we hope, thus aid in uniting us with them, in rendering us usefal to them and the cause of progress in general. On behalf of the Paris Progress Society, (Signed) HVOIL DOHERTY, President. .1. OSWALD MURRAY, Secretary, Paris: 5, Rue des Beaux-Arts, April 7, 1848. DENMARK. The following letter is from our own correspondent COPENHAGEN, BiLacic 28. • The first act of legislature of the new government, officially proclaimed on the same day on which the appoint ment of the ministry was publicly announced, on Saturday, the 25th inst., is " a provisional decree relative to the press." By this judicial confirmation of the previous royal charter of freedom to the pram, all former decrees and laws issued since the edict of Sept. 27, 1790, relative to the press, are re pealed. The punishments' appointed by that royal ordi nance are abolished, and simple imprisonment, according to the judgment of the law, substituted. All censure abolished ; and " no action can be hereafter Instituted at the instiga. this or on the part of any foreign power for alleged offence, but through the medium of diplomacy, when the minister of justice (lord chancellor) decides that there is sufficient ground." Seven thousand of the ten thousand infantry, cavalry and artillery now in this city have received orders to march. These, together with the cavalry and infantry stationed in North Jutland, are to be concentrated on the frontier of Sleswig. No forces will be transported by sea from this city, but their route will be by Corseur, ceasing the Great Belt to Nyberg, and across the island of Funen. The sloop of-war Nayaden, 24 guns, was towed by a steam-ship out of the roads yesterday ' • and the 16-gun brig St. Thomas sailed to Dyboth, bound for Kiel. The armed steam-ship the Hecht is lying oil' Kiel, ready for action. The following royal proclamation has been issued this day : "Men of Sleswig,—ln this hour of grave impart your King tarns to you. A few months are gone since I ascended the throne of my fathers, proud in the thought of bestowing in order and in peace, of my own free-will, a free constitu tion on my people. Unprecedented events make Europe shake. Holstein, as a German federal state, should have its own administration. For that I have given my royal word. The constitutional unity I had hoped to establish was thus neces‘arily renounced. Ye men of Sleswig, I have said it, and I say it now, in conjunction with Denmark and with your own concurrence, ye should have •1 tree popular constitution. Your independence as inhabit- ants of Sleswig shall, together with that free constitution, be secured by your having your own diet, your own admini stration, your owu courts of law, an equal share in the fiaauces according to the population, a just employment of the surplus of the state revenue, no consumption dues, equal right tothe German and the Danish tongue at the meet ings of the states-general as well as at the diet. Men of Sits wig—Ye will not cast sway the blessings of social order and freedom for the sake of serving the faithless machinations of ambition ! Ye will not deny the loyalty ye have inherited from your fathers ! Ye will not sacnfice your independence and your welfare ! Your King calls you, by the paths of law and honour, to lead you to peace and freedom. Ye will obey the voice of duty and liberty. With the whole strength of Denmark will I stand by you soon, and see ye face to face...--FUNDISKIC It.—A. W. MOLTlLlL—Christian borg, March 27, 1848." ROME, Arad. 1. Amid the clash of arms and the din of European tumult, a silent but significative event has just taken place here which in other times would have claimed a full page in contemporary annals. The Society of the Je suits has been finally ordered to quit the capital of the catholic world, and their colleges suppressed and their head-quarters removed, with general and staff, out of Rome. Where they will next set up their central banner is a puzzle. Not in Italy, most assa redly, every one of the various states of the penin sula having shown marvellous unanimity in consider ing them the agents of Austria and the foes of free dom. Yesterday Cardinal Castracane received the orders of Pius IX. to communicate to General Roo thaan (an honest Fleming) the decision of his Holi ness ; to the effect, that he must march bag and baggage out of this city, and giving him and his associates reasonable delay to pack up. The vast property which had fallen into the hands of the society for the last thirty years, during which they had the unlieputed control over the consciences of the rich and nobles of the land, is to be now transferred to the administrative capacity of Cardinal Vizzardelli. The war of the Sonderbund in Switzerland may be considered as the opening chapter c f the recent revo lutions in Europe, and the final suppression of the mum trterrima befit is bat poetical justice. Yet there is much to regret in this unlucky denouement. I speak not in a political sense, for the Jesuits were, po itically speaking, a recognised nuisance on both sides of the Alps; I merely would remark that their removal from the Roman College will leave, in a lite rary point of view, an awful gap not easily filled up. They had confessedly placed in the various chairs of that noble building, men of un doubted capacity in the different departments of divinity, astronomy, arehmalogy, classics, eloquence and mathematics, and their places cannot be easily supplied. The museum of father Kirker will de siderate its intelligent keeper; the watch-tower of father De Vico will scarcely discover any fresh new comets ; those who have theological nuts to crack will sigh for the acumen of Perrone ; and the pulpit of the Gesn will mourn for the outpourings of Grossi and Zecchinelli. But the Pope has spoken. " Cassio, be no longer officer of mine ! " The whole body will probably seek the field of missionary exertion, and fling them selves upon the empire of China, where they may recover their old ascendancy, and be out of the reach of the Abbe Gioberti, whom they in an evil hoar deprived of his chair at the university of Turin, and who has visited them with terrible retribu tion. The Epacka of yesterday (a very moderate journal) has a leader on the subject, in which it notices the failure of an attempt to get up a mob demonstration of trastererini in their favour. It assures the clergy, both secular and regula-, that they live in the hearts of the people. It exhorts them to avoid becoming tools of power, and to take warning by the melan choly fate of this order. "Take pattern from the saints of Gad : from Chrysostom, who denounced the effeminate and corrupt tyranny of his time ; freq! Ambrose, who rebuked a royal murderer ; from Ber nard, who preached the holy war against the brutal foe ; from Savonarola, who was the evangelist of free dom; from Pio Nono, who unites the virtues and attri butes of them all. The alliance of any part of the priesthood with absolutism has always produced in fidelity and hypocrisy,—that cursed alliance in Italy is at an end!" Int court. The Viscountess Jocelyn, Lady in Waiting to her Majesty. arrived at Osborne on Tuesday. Mr. Scotland had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday at the Colonial-office. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners for England had acomrnittee meeting yesterday at their office in Whitehall- THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY yesterday re ceived a deputation of the clergy of Pal yof London who waited upon his graoe, at Lambeth ,to congraiulate him upon his elevation to the archieyttscopal see. BANQUET TO VISCOUNT HARDINGE AT THE CARLTON Guru —Last evening tho noblemen and gentle men members of the Carlton Club gave an entertainment to Lieut.-Oen. Viscount Hardinge, G.C.8., on his return from India. The banquet took p lace in the spacious new coffee-room of the club-house, covers. being laid for above 200. Lord Sahoun presided, and was supported on the right by Viscount Hardinge, the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of Montrose, and the Marquis of Salisbury; and on his left sat the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Athol', the Marquis of Abereorn, and the Earl De Grey. The principal table presented a superb display of ornamental plate, contributed by the Earl of Eglinton and other noble men belonging to the club, and the whole was illuminated by massive gilt candelabra. IRELAND. DUBLIN, APRIL 12. The result of the chartist demonstration has tilled all the friends of public order in our city with great delight. One splendid bubble has burst, which, added to the fate of the French deputation, gives greater assurances of tranquillity. In truth, there appear already gleams of returning quiet. There is lees of the fever and fret of excitement abroad. The im provement is perceptible, let men account for the de lightful phenomenon as they may. All fears of an immediate explosion are by common consent dissi pated into thin air. Every day produces its rumour. The last that has put on wings is that ministers are about to appoint commissioners to inquire into the measures which are necessary for the peace and prosperity of Inland. The Bishop of Kerry, the Hight Rev. Ik. Egan, has addressed a circular to the clergy of his diocese, earnestly urging on them the necessity of maintaining peace and order in their respective parishes. The Bishops of Cork and Cloyne are about to issue similar messengers of peace and goodwill. The citizens on the south side of the city are organ ising and arming in defence cf the public security. A notification has been issued, signed by Sir J. Dons brain, Serjeant Warren, and other gentlemen of re spectability, advising the householders to provide each "one gun and bayonet, with one pound ot gunpowder, and a quantity of slugs." They would patrol the neighbourhood in companies, and in the event of alarm, directions are given how to defend their houses and properties. Such orders, however, will, I trust, prove unnecessary. The Sligo election has resulted in the return of Mr. Townley.

Yesterday, a Charti,t deputation waited en the town council, for the purpose of requesting them to support certain liberal resolutions which were to be proposed by Bailie Stott. The bailie's resolutions did not go the length of asking for the Charter, but sim ply prayed for an extension of the suffrage. Th. Lord Provost moved a counter series of resolutions in which, while the direct question of extended suffrage was avoided, the five points were unequivocally lcon demned. The provost's resolutions were carried by a ' majority of 22 to 8. The general assemblies of the established and free churches meet in Edinburgh next month. The mode rator of the one is to be Dr. Dunbar, of Appiegarth; of the other, Dr. Clason, of Edinburgh. To-night an anti-state-church meeting is to be held, for the formation of a new voluntary church associaticn, with special reference to the abolition of the fond for sup porting the Edinburgh clergy.
