ev erywhere. Scarcely had the troops of the line and thenationalguardsdemolished this barricade, when they we re assailed by firing from the neighbouring houses. These houses were immediately invaded ; several of the w ocrgents found therein were taken into cus tody. A musician of the 4th light infantry was killed by au Imeatier, who was taken into custody. The fusillade continued on the Place du Pantheon, bat es p e cially in the Rue St. Jacques, where a high b a rricade had been erected at the Rue des Gres. A great number of the insurgents had sought refuge' ' in the bermes, now building, in the Rue Neuve Souffiot, from whence they were driven by the National Guards. The National Guards received orders, on their entraure in the Rue St. Jacques, to level their mule keta at the windows, and to fire upon all persons who should appear at them. Meanwhile, the insurgents, who had abandoned the Rue Neuve Soufflot, had gone to St. Etienne du Mont, and had caused the tocsin to be tolled. The barricade of the Rue St. Jacques wag carriei by the line and the mobile guard, whose con duct `15%1a most praiseworthy. In the Rues des Matthurins, St. Jacques, and des Poiret*, barricades had been erected by the insurgents. M. Ara go immediately sent artillery on to that point, and a warm fusillade took place. The barricades were demolished by cannon. A captain of the 7th light iefintry was killed on a barricade, and the com pany under his command suffered greatly. Amebae barricade was erected at the bottom of the rue de la harps, at the corner of the rue St. Severin. It was de re the death of M. !damson, the chef of the 4th be:alien, teok place. He had ascended the barricade in order to prevail upon the rioters to withdraw. Scarcely had he finished speaking, when he fell, struck with five bullets, as well as two soldiers of the one who were near him. M. Arego made every effort to prevent a collision. All the troops and the National Guards of the 11th showed the greatest intrepidity and the most admir able di % otedness. A hosidi al was established in the Rae Souffiot, and &actinr in the Rue de la liarpe. The services of the Val-di -Grace were most meritorious ; they were every% here tending the wounded. lam told that a surgeon of the National Guard had his thigh broke n while he attended one of the wounded in the Rue de H Haulm. AVe have seen many prisoners who were drank and could hardly stand. At 6 o'ebek, 91. Arego went to the sliongest barricade, that of the place Cambrai. But there, less fortunate than before he could not succeed. The attack began. The artillery commeuced playing on the barricade but it resisted. Taken once, it was again retaken. We have not heard if a new attempt was made to take it. • M. Arego returned at 7 o'clock to the Luxem bourg. A considerable body of troops occupies the Pantheon this evening. At 3 o'clock the environs of the Assembly were goaded by the Line and the Garde Mobile. On the Place de la Concorde were placed strong picquets of dragoons, and several batteries of artillery. A cry of " aux armee r was raised, and the dragoons mount ed their horses. No group was on the place, but it was said that a c..lunin advanced by the Boulevards. The dragoons and the artillery made a retrograde movement to the other side of the bridge, and took up a position at the peristyle of the chamber. Between three and four in the afternoon the Rue du Faubourg Poissaniere was the scene of a bloody con flict. A first barricade was made at the top of the Rue Richer. The insurgents did not defend it, they preferred to concentrate their forces behind another stronger barricade, which they had made across the Itue du Faubourg Poissoniere, above the barracks where the Rues Beiletond and Lafayette meet. They had taken possession of these two streets, and had taken forcible possession of some of the houses in the Rue Bellefouil. 'flair number was considerable; they were armed, and obeyed the orders of a person in the costume of an officer of the national guard. The Garde Mobile arrived the first, and occupied the width of the street. Soon the 7th light infantry, followed by a large detachment of the na tional guard, rime arid. The firing tft this point lasted '2O missies. To the repeated discharges of the troops the insurgents replied by discharges, not ooh from the bare cedes, but oleo from the houses in the itues Lafayette and Itellefond. At last they were obliged to fly. Many National Guards, a great number of men cf the line, and the Garde Mobile, were killed. The combat continued in the Rue Lafayette. Some barricades ' formed with planks and carriages upset, barred, at cis o'clock, the Rues Petits-Hotel, des Jardine, du Faubourg Pois soniere et Rochelionart, but they did not appear to be defended. itic barricades in the Rue Faubourg Pois soniere served as an asylum for the wounded. Two barricades were made at the Pont Neuf; one at the corm r of the Quay des Grande Augustine, and the other at the angle of the Quay Conti. The tocsin was sounded at the church of St. Severin. In the groups were men uttering threatsagainst the National Guard, whom they would, they say, exterminate. The National Girard debouched on the quays at a quarter past lour. 'the insurgents fled at their approach. A numerous deputation from the Ecole Polvtech nique, followed by seine National Guards, debauched on the Quaide rilorloge. They were going to the Assembly. A heavy storm no w came on, and dispersed some of the insurgents. The barricades on the Pont Neuf were destroyed by the National Guard. At a quarter part four the fusillade again began, as well as the cannonade. At five o'clock the two ends of the Pont Neuf were occupied by detachments of the 4th legion, and the 11th leiving the pupils of the Ecole Poly technique at their 1r ad. At tine o'clock in the evening the conflict in the quarter S. Jacques was still terrible, and the approach s to the Pont St. Michel and the Petit -Pont being at that time strongly barricaded, the insurgen.s were established on the left bank, where they kept up a brisk fire, to which the national guard and .the troops replied with energy. Many discharges of cannon were made at this point. The staff was tetirdiehed at the Hotel de Ville, from whence the operations against the tarricadesin the Faubourg St. Antoine and the quarter St. Jacques, and the quarter St. :Marceau were directed. The artillery was placed on the Pont Notre Dame. The cannonade front this point on the Rue de la Cite and the Rue St. Jacques appeared to do much damage to the barricades in those directions._ General Francois was Acounded in leading an at tack on t.iis side. . From the Rue Dauphine towards the faubourg, there was nothing but barricades and troops without number. Iu the Faubourg St. Antoine, towards the evening, the insurgents went to the small barracks of the Rue de Montrenil, where there were about thirty of the Garde MAile, and forced them to march with them. A cannonade was made in the Ituo St. Maur. From the Boulevard across the Place des Vosges, and joining the centre of the Rue Rambutean, the city was tranquil. The quays of the right bank and the Boulevards were free. The Louvre, Carrousel and the garden of the Tuileries were occupied by troops as well as all the approaches to the assembly. The Faubourg St. Germain WGB tranquil, but no one was allowed to approach nearer the Luxembourg than the Carrefoor Bossy. _ _ At ten e'd •Lc p.m. t e firing had nearly ceased. The national ;;u tell, the Garde Mobile, and the troops were under ims. 1 here was no means of approach ing the theatre of the struggle, so that it was not pessible to learn if C.° insurgents had r:. , aired their position. lite engagement was very bloody in the quarter of the tkolo de Medicine. It was said that /4. Pascal, the Henley) In. enlonel of the 11th legion, had been mortally wounded. M. Bonju.u. ard M. on learning at the Assembly the disorder in Paris, said that the 'Mem bers of the Aseenahly should be the first to expose themselves to the fire. " Our place (said M. Bixio) is at the head of the National Guard, to atop, if pos sible, the efiheion of blond;" and borrowing the scarf of oi.e of the membeis ' he immediately left the Chamber to carry out his declaration. M. Bixio has only been too true to his glorious aspira tion •, he has been shot in the breast, and it is much feared he earn A survive. M. Clement Thomas has ri.ce ived a ball in the thigh. The wound is not dangerous. General Belleau has been wounded in the left thigh. M. D )rn&, a representative and editor of the National, who accompanied General Cuvaig nee, has also been weareleJ. M. Pierre Bonaparte, son cf Lu:. , en, has had his horse wounded by a ball by the *hie of M. de lamartine. During the greater rut of the day, latuartine accompanied General tavaignse to all the scenes ( f contest. A foundry of bails was established on the Place Conked. SATIIIIDAY, 6 PIC The last was a terrible night. None, save those who have been in a battle-field, or in a city • tacked by an enemy, can have an adequate idea of it. After I Closed my despatches last night, the move ment of the troops rapidly increased, and all the signs of an approachirg struggle, of the most serious nature, were manifest. The " generale" continued to be beaten in all quarters till midnight. Nothing could exceed the terror that was everywhere spread. Cavalry and artillery passed at full gallop, every moment, along the Boulevard. About midnight these troops drew up for the night along the sides of the street, the cavalry dismounted and bivouacked on the footways. At two in the morning I made a pro menade of this scene, which certainly was one of the most remarkable I have ever witnessed. The solders, who had been on duty from a very early hour, completely overcome, were extended everywhere on the footpath sleeping, having helmet and sword laid beside them. Some tended the horses, who in thousands occupied the carriage road. This state of things continued until 3 o'clock, when the trumpets and drums again sounded, the cavalry and artillery mounuted, and infantry formed, and marched off to another scene. In the course of half an hour discharges of cannon and musketry began to be heard, and this continued until seven o'clock when silence again prevailed. At that hour I made another promenade in the , neighbourhood of the Assembly ; there I found all the streets and thoroughfares strongly occupied. The Place de la Concorde was crowded with cuirassiers, lancers, and artillery. These troops, with infantry of the line, and the Garde Mobile occupied the Champs Elysees; the bridge oppo- site, the chamber, and the quays, on both sides, were similarly filled. The gardens and palace of the Tuileries, and the Place Carousel, were filled with National Guards. The esplanade of the Invalides was occupied in like manner, as well as all the streets debonching from the Palace of the Assembly. From nine till twelve o'clock the Boulevards continued to be patrolled by troops. Members of the Assembly, in various numbers, also patrolled the principal streets about noon, each escorted by detachments of National Guards. At one o'clock, notice was given by these functionaries and others, that the capital was declared in a state of siege, and all individuals except those in arms as National Guards were ordered to remain in their houses. It was announced at the same time that the Executive Commission had abdicated, and that General Cavaignac was appointed provisional president of the republic, with the powers of a dictatorship. At the moment I write these lines (two o'clock par.) the streets have been swept by columns of the national guard, and the few individuals that are visible are wending their way home. The following are the terms of the decree by which the National Assembly has declared Paris in a state of siege : Art. 1. The National Assembly remains en permanence. Art. 2. Pafiais in a state of siege. Art. 3. All power and authority is delegated to General Cavai4rae. The National Assembly alto voted unanimously a decree, by which the wives and children of the citi zens who have fallen or may fall in the defence of order are to be adopted by the country. After this decree was passed, the Executive Council resigned its powers in the following letter, addressed to the l'resident " Monsieur le President—TheEtecutive Committee would think it was wanting alike in its duty and its honour if it withdrew before sedition and a public peril. It withdraws only on a vote of the Assembly. In remitting to it the power with which it invested us, we return to the ranks of the Na. tional Assembly, to devote ourselves with you to the common danger, and to the safety of the Republic. "LARAIITINE, ARAGO, Mum; ROLLIN, GARNIER. PAGES, MARIE, the Members of the Executive Clmcnittee. '• 24th June. " FAGS ERRE, SECRETARY." The extreme left was strongly opposed to this pro position, and a number protested against Paris being declared in a state of siege. General Perrot has been appointed Commander-in- Chief of the National Guards of Paris. The following proclamation was published this morning:— " National guards,—As on all o-casions, you have re sponded with courage to the appeal of the country. Wher ever barricades have been set up by the factions, you have up to this moment destroyid them. Their colour, which are those o; all the pretenders, have been trampled by you under foot. In a few hours the republic lies shown that, with the ever ready and ever spontaneously admirable succour of all its eitiaci.s, national guards, army. garde mobile, and garde republicnine, it has nothing to dread tram factions. Citizens, you have done much in the interest of order and liberty, but remain on foot as long as there are duties to perform : and these duties are immense. Your enemies, the enemies of the c.untry, are on the alert ; be oho on the alert. Be vigilant on every point, be vigilant during the whole night in every quarter. Be vigilant in order to secure the triumph of end, r and respect for property if inw nsate men should dare to attack it. National Guards of the great city, show to every body, by your attitude and your energy, that you are really the first children of the republic, and that you will defend it everywhere and against all enemies." (Signed by the members of the Executive Government.) Very large detachments of National Guards from the environs and farther points are arriving in the capital. Foun o'CLoCK.—For the last two hours all com munication between the Madeleine and the Assembly, and the eastern part of the town, has been stopped. Detachments are placed at the Foreign-office, on the Boulevards, and at and across all the streets leading towards the Palais Royal and the eastern quarters. On the dictatorship being conferred on Gen.Cavaig nae he issued the following notice :—lf at noon the barricades are not removed, mortars and houitz,rs will be brought, and by which shells wilt be thrown which will explode behind the barricades, and in the apartments of the houses occupied by the insurgents. Judging by rho constant firing dining the after noon, this terrible threat appears to have been exe cuted. The foriratien of all groups and assemblages on every part of the Boulevards during the day, where the circulaticn was left free, has been prevented by constant movement of cavalry. Since the above was written I have received a more detailed report of the events of this most eventful day. Since one o'clock this morning till nine o'clock the fusillade and the cannonade had not ceased in the quarters of the Cite and St. Jacques. The insurgents had, it is said, thirteen pieces of cannon. Three have been taken. About half-past nine, the insurgents, who were surrounded on almost all points, succeeding in forcing a passage by means of their artil:cry. About ten o'clock this column was in the quarter of the Halle, where a bloody encounter took place. At the same hour, it was said, that the insur gents of the Faubourg St. Antoine were marching to operate in junction with the column of St. Jacques. It is said that an armistice until eleven o'clozit was proposed by Gen. Cavaignac, who declared that after that hour the most energetic terms would be adopted. From the break of day, that is about half-past two in the morning, the cannon has thundered without in termiseion in the direction of La Chapelle. It appears that a considerable body of insargents,driven yesterday evening into the I'laiue des Vertua, between La Cha pelle and La Villette, was surrounded in the night. The combat still continued there at the moment we quitted it to return to the Boulevards. In the coarse of the morning the insurgents became masters of the church of St. Severin. In the Rue St. Jacques the troops have demolished several houses to seize the barricades, which were dt tended from their windows. The Assembly sat yesterday till midnight, and resumed this morning at 8 o'clock. I send you a ref tine': of its proceedings. I am informed that the muirie of the Bth arrondissement has been burned. The troops which occupied it were dislodged by the insurgents. At half-past 9 a.m. the national guards of Poissy, Mandan, Mantes, and other places, arrives by the Rouen Railway. At 10 p.m., the Eger of the Bastille was cleared, but firing was continued along the canal. The conduct of the Garde Mobile has been deserving of all praise to day. At noon, they carried foar bar ricades, and took 15 prisoners, whom it was difficult to defend from the rage of the peop . e. At noon enormous barricades were erected between the Rues St. Denis and St. Martin, constructed en tirely of paving stones about fifteen feet thick; they are almost proof against cannon balls. Barricades not less formidable are erected at the extremity of the Faubourg Poissonniere. Soon after noon two battalions of the National Guards of Versailles arrived in Paris. At tall-past two o'cloek the cannonade and the fu sillade continued in ti:e Faubourg St. Marceau, the Quartier St. Jacques, red the Faubourg St. Antoine. Shetts were much used. A report, dated 3 o'clock, says that the slaughter was then immense. An order is reported to have been isaed to give no quarter. At half-peat three the conflict became so general THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 1848. and so bloody, and the streets were so obstructed that we found it impossible to obtain any precise informa tion. At half-past 3, the ineurgenta were driven to the Pantheon and there surrounded; they fought despe rately and with a courage which would be admirable if devoted to a just cauae. 5 p.m.—l have jest learned that the Pantheon has been recovered from the insurgents, after three hun dred discharges of cannon. Fourteen battalions of the line and the 21st regiment are around the chamber during the day. A battery of artillery with matches lighted are on the tray. Under the peristyle of the chamber two Held howitzers are placed. The cuirassiers are in great force on the Place de la Concorde. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. On Friday the first news of the insurrection was brought by the members of the Executive Commis sion to the Assembly a little before noon. It was at noon Cavaignac took the command. M. de Treveneux proposed that two members of the Assembly should be delegated to accompany the staff of General Cavaignac. It was observed that M. Flocon, Minister of Com merce, was in close conference with M. Caussidiere during the forenoon. At the opening of the Assembly, General Le Breton appearing in full uniform, proposed that the As sembly should appoint delegates to deliver exhorta• tiona to the people and the National Guard, and that they should appear with their insignia at the head of the columns. This was, however, negatived. The proceedings of the Assembly, of course, ex cited no interest amidst such a state of things around its walls. Upon an observation, however, being made as to the absence of the Executive Commission, M. Flacon spoko as follows : If the Executive Commission is not present here, it is because its post is elsewhere. It is ready, however, to come at the order of the Assembly. I have a word to add. An almost unexpected agitation reigns in the capital, the insur gents have no Hag, they march against the republic, and if we could look to the bottom of the affair, we mould find in it more than the hand t f a pretender; we should find in it the hand of the foreigner. (Approbation.) It is to the re publicans I address myself. A Member: To all ; tl ere are only republicans here. M. Flacon : It is to the republicans that I address myself. (More murmurs.) I know that here there are only republi cans, but it is not the same outside, and it is there especially I desire to be heard. In all the attempts made against order you will still find the same elements—civil war is fomented with the gold which is seAttered. Be it known to the in surgents, te l b n e t ts i,h then, e overt ro that w th:p the e republic onlyres ult of g their proceed ings coalizsd despots. The Assembly adjourned in the middle of the day for three hours. At four o'clock General Cavaignac informed the Assembly that the inz,urreetion was repressed at every point; but latter events showed that this was prema ture. M. Gamier l'agii appeared in the Anembly at half-past four, end produced an indescribable afft.ct by the utter incoherence of his manner and address. Pale ai.d trembling, he kept repeating "II taut prend7o des mesures!" M. do Lamartine made a speech which was scarcely heard. The Assembly decided that it would sit in perma nence. On Saturday, in the Chambers, at 10 minutes past 2 o'clock— - - ----- M. RAYNAL gave n report of the visit he had paid with some of his colleagues to the several mairies of Paris. Ile.; said that consternation reigned, but the populatimi and the National Guard received them with enthusiasm, and he held the utmost determivatton to defend the republic, the boalcvsrds weto free. but tiring was to be heard in the Faubourg Bt. Denis. The insurgents were in want of ammunition, but the troop and the National Guard were abundantly supplies, and perhaps in a few minutes tranquillity might prevail in that quarter. The reports which we aro about to submit, said the speaker, will be re ceived with a cry, repeated with enthusiasm, " The Republic ought not, it cannot perish." (Cries of " It shall not, it shall not.'') M. DAMPIERRE reported the intelligence he had received from a colonel of dragoons stationed at the heed ef the bridge, that 1500 insurgents had thrown down their arms, and sur rendered, at the Place du Pantheon. M. BEAUMONT (de la Somme) announced that he had just tome from the Hotel de Ville ; where, assisted by the Mayor of Parte, he bad promulgated the decree which the Assembly had passed in the morning, and it was received with cries of Vive la Republique." The insurgents afterwards sent pre liminaries to General Dieivier, which were overtained. and tworepresentativea we re thee at the Hotel de Vile following up the negotiation. Tne Guises, both National and Mobile, said M. de Beaummt, now under arum for thin)-six hours, are dreadfully fatigued, and ought to be relieved. (Cries of " It is for General Cavaignac to deride that.") M. BOVUEAN cited the fact of having observed an old officer of dragoons fighting in the ranks of the National Guard, who when be saw his eldest son fall, cried, taking the dead body in his arms, "I shall seek your brother to tight in your piece." Other members recounted similar facts, showing the heroism of the National Guard. M. CIIAItAMAt Le said that he had just seen a soldier of the 18th regiment of the line take with the greatest intre pidity, at the barricade of the Place Maubert, a flag sur mounted with a red cap. M. DeeLERC, Minister of Finance, announced that when the struggle had ti rminatcd tie would take the liberty of retiring from th miniNtry. (Cries of " Very well, very well ; but all the other ministers are in the same position as yourself.") The sitting was then suspended. At a quarter to six the sitting of the Assembly was still suspended, but (says our correspondent) there are reports circulated in the Chamber that at the moment it was considered that all had passed, the insurgents, on the contrary, had reorganised them selves, and rather gained ground in some quarters. One of the repreecntatives stated in the Salle des Pas l'erdus, that at the banleude de l'Estrapade the heads of five of the Garde Mobile had been cut oil and fixed in conspicuous places. Fifteen of the Garde Mobile, who had been shut up in the Hall de Mole do llroit, hail been obligcd to surrender. The offi cers would have been massacred, but for the inter ference of the students. The liuurse was onto on Friday, but abs)lutely no thing was done; there were no quotations of the Threes, nor any of the railway shares. lIOULOONt, SUNDAY. A telegraphic despatch from Paris to the sous prefect of this city was received this morning, declaring Paris to be in a state of siege; the National Assembly in permanent sitting; that the exe cutive power is confided to General Cavaignac ; and that the executive C0111016E4011 has resigned. M. Ayrand-Degeorge, the sous-prefect, immedia'ely issurd a proclamation to the national guards of the prefecture, calling for them to hasten to the support of order and liberty in Paris. Sixty volunteers marched last right, and a detachment of the Ist battalion, 200 strong, set out this afternoon. Bodies of national guards front the various towns in the northern provinces are to assemble at Amiens to morrow, and will march at once to Paris. Every thing here is perfectly quiet. PORTUGAL. The Oriental Company's steam-packet Madrid, Captain John Weeks, arrived at Southampton on Sa turday evening, a d landed her mails under the charge of Lieut. Newenham, RN., Admiralty agent. Her dates are—Gibraltar, June 10 ; Cadiz, 17; Lisbon, 19 ; Oporto, 20; Vigo, 21. Amongst the passengers by the Madrid are Earl and Countess Ducie Lord. :Moreton and Lady Georgians Moreton, and Colonel, Mrs., and Miss Mitchell, Royal Artillery. All yet seems quiet in Lisbon, but revolutionary thoughts and feelings are at work, and from the visits of police neats to private houses in a domi eilliary way, as wal as the many arrests of panics known to be hostile to the status quo government (seven of these on the 18th), all would sewn to indi cate that that city i+ on the eve of a political ear.h quake. All commerce is stagnant, and everything in a state of c' lapse. Much dettn:ion of the mail packet service has taken place in consequence of the strictness of the police at Lisbon in subjecting thu packet to a severe Examteation of the passenger list.

As may be supposed the publication of this letter has canoed very great sensation, and is much commented upon by the Lisbon press. Here, in Lisbon, there has been a report in circulation these three or four days past of a conspiracy having been Ms' I covered at the University of Coimbra, having ramifications in Liabonluttl other parts of the country. Certain it is that on ant since Saturday numerous political errata have taken place in the capital of individuals of prominent position be. longing tothe liberal party. The government are said to he in possession of • list of names compromising nearly two hundred persons in Lisbon alone. Eighteen of these unfortunates, of all ranks and classes, have beau captured ; amoagat these is M. Manoel Jesus Coelho, the responsible editor of the Patriota. While most of the others have been conveyed to the Castle of Saint George (where Colonel Horta was taken the other day), 111. Coelho has been thrust into the Lmoeiro, the common gaol of the city, and where it is usual to confine only the worst class of criminals. Up to the present hour no charge has been preferred against any of the prisoners ; the whole story of the conspiracy is in reality deemed a fiction, got up by the government with the infamous view of forcing on a premature rising, they now considering themselves as having sufficient military means to suppress any outbreak, and thus avenge themselves for themiserable indignity inflicted anon the Queen and the Cabralist faction, by the necessity of interven tion at the time of the convention of Gramido and of the die- The ministry conti eu es intact, no change having as yet taken place, but the Queen isrepreisented as being to the utmost ids , gree irritated with the poor Duke of Saldanha for having so fearfully compromised her Majesty in the late parliamentary discussions, in which the duke had no other ;remedy than to cast the responsibility of the false circular issued upon a late occasion to the foreign ministers upon the royal lady herself, yet still the Qaten has hesitated to restore Costa Cabral to the head of the ministry. If you would like to have an ex ample given you of the profligate administration of th government income, I think the following is a precious and pecular sample : the Duke of Terceira, who, it will be re membered, was nominated months and months bark to the 'Vienna embassy,and who has never re irred sine step from Lisbon since his nomination, has just clutched from the exchequer the considerable sum of two coat , is of reis, a further advance on account of salary. The statement appears in the Revolts -00 do Selembro of this day. The 'ones continue 'pinning on their sittings, and the deputies to receive their crown. daily. The only projezt of importance recently under discussion has been a new spolia tion, in the shape of a further proposed seizure of church property, and by which minister*, their sons, brother., and followers, anticipate a decent harvest. All the nunneries throughout Portugal are to be suppressed excepting four, and their lairds and other revenues seized; th^tre lands will then, like the rest of the national and church properties, be submitted to nominal public competition, and the Cabral, Tojels, and other gentry of similar description, will contrive to get the properties between them Count 'Nal takes his title from the lauds of the convent at Tojil; Admiral Sae. torius is Tiscondo de Piedaile, or Viscount Piety, from the lands of the convent of Piedade, which in the hocus-pocus of a mock liberalism these gentlemen contrived to become pr.)- prictors of in the Pedroite scramble. Of mercantile news I can add nothing beyond that every day things are becoming worse; in fact, trade of all descrip tiou is ruined, the government exactions have destroyed everything, and if some really radical change does not soon take place, the English manufacturer may close that page in his ledger altogether that has for centuries been devoted to transactions with Portugal. The ex cominTaioaer employed by the committee of Anglo-Portuguese officers in London to prosecute their pecuniary claims upon the Lisbon government, has, I am informed, just succeeded in laying an embargo upon the moneys already recovered, and lying here in an English agent's hands. The dispute, I believe, between the cum miesionet and the committee in London, arose out of mis understandings as to amount of commission, ske, upon re• covery. Lord Howard de Walden, when our minister here, had frequently urged upon the London body the propriety of an arbitration, and it is to be regretted his lordship's advice was not attended to; the embargo has now subsisted some thing like four years, to the 1115, not only of the committee, but of the numerous officers whose intense , are represented by that body of gentlemen. Probably this bit of informs tiara may prove a novelty and interesting to such of y air military readers as may have claims compromised by this dispute. The war-steamer Pluto came in on the 10th, being eight slays from Plymouth. She has since go. .e t.i Madeira. We have now the Stromboli and the Comfit, both steamers, the latter from Oporto. Great efforts are being made by the Queen's government to intrigue for the return of Sir Charles Napier and a British squadron, The exchange upon England may be given as at :- 60 dap, 521 to 53 ; 90 days, 63 to 531. The cattle fair of Saccavem, two leagues from this city, , during its three days, of the 10th, 11th, and 12th instanta, had a miserable attendance. Scarcely a siugle purchaser at • any price.

Camphausen has failed to form a cabinet likely to command a majority in the constituent assembly, and has in con sequence resigned. M. llaiisemann has undertaken the task, and in the attempt will receive, it is under stood, the support of the retiring minister. A depu tation from the Committee of Public Safety waited on M. Cumphausen on the evening of the 20th, princi pally with a view to obtain such authoritative infor mation as might enable them to contradict disquieting rumours which had been put in circulation. M. Camp hausen assured them that he had retired voluntarily because he believed the Assembly not to be suffi ciently liberal—not to have sufficient confidence in the people to support a ministry of his formation ; that thero is no back-stairs influence frawaril(a) about the King, who is resolute to curry on the movement, and that no reaction need be feared, and that there is no truth in the reports that a Russian force had been concentrated on the frontier. Ilow such a decided pnlitician as Hansemann is to form a cabinet that will satisfy an assembly nit liberal enough to support Camphausen's remains to be seen. A Berlin paper says, " Certain information has been received that the mach of the Russian army into Prussia will take place within the next few days, by the way of Czenstochow. Pontoons have been forwarded to the banks of the River Prosna, to enable the troops to effect a crossing, and the avenues to the same through Poland are occupied by im mense masses of troops. Numerous bettalions of landwehr are ordered to assemble in Upper Silesia; and the fortresses adjoining the Russian Polish frontiers are to ba put in the most perfect state of defence." AUSTRIA.—VIENNA, JUNE 20.—The Emperor is not to open the diet in person. In the Wiener Zeitung of this morning appears an imp. risl procla mation expressing "bitter regret" that "now when no delay in the opening of the constituent diet is pos s.ble, the state of my health will rot allow me to undertake the journey. to Vienna." The document goes on to state that in the delicate condition of his impel ial Majesty's health he is desirous to retain his brother Francis Charles near his person ; and that, with the advice and acquiescence of his ministers, he has nominated his uncle, the Archduke John, to oi,en the diet in his stead. The Wiener Zeitung (official part) observes that the ministerial report of his Majesty's health is not particularly alarming, but confirms the as,ertion that it will reader him unable to journey to Vienna at present. FRANKFORT, JUNE 23.—1 n the srderunt of the : ssemhly of the 21st instant, the riprrt of the committee on the Sclavonian populations in Ger many and the events at l'rague was presented. The committee advisee the assembly to declare the measures adopted by the diet are sufficient, and that it will co-operate with the Austrian government. The debate on the proposed interim central authority was then resumed. M. Von Vineke declared strongly against any participation by the assembly in the nomination of a central authority, which he main tained ought to be It to the grvernmente alone. M. Vas Vineke elsclarA for centreising cxecativc autho rity in one person. He made several broad allusions to the house of Hap.burg and the Archduke John.

The Niagara, Captain Hyrie, arrived at Liverpool on Sunday morning, after a quick run from Boston, which she left on the 14th ; and Halifax, which she left on the 16th.

The Senate was advised of the fact immediately on the receipt of the news. Major Graham was hourly ex• pected at Vera Cruz with the ratified treaty. One of the naval steamers of the squadron was ordered to be held in readiness. There was nothing of interest going on in Congress. It had been decided to bring home the army in Mexico immediately, and it was even said that the official proclamation of peace would be delayed until the army had reached the frontier. The intelligence by the Acadia to the 27th ult. from Liverpool, was not looked upon as favourable either in its commercial or political aspects. The disturbed state of Europe, while menacing war, for bids that restoration of confl 'eine which can alone reanimate commerce, and the pursuits of industry. Consequently the prices of the chief commodities con tinued to droop—of all but coin, which was still in demand, and of which the steady drain to Europe occasioned apprehension here. With respect to affairs in Yucatan, the Tampico Arro Iris of the 24th ult. states that accounts had been received at that port from Merida to the 13th. The Indians, to the number of 4,000, had been defeated in Stillpech and Motul by the government troops. In one of the towns, the savages had hung upwards of two hundred whites. According to the accounts of the passengers, Merida must now be in a deplorable situation. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NOVA SCOTIA.—An unpleasant fracas die babed the peace of Halifax on the 14 Us instant. At three o'clock that afternoon, according to the version of the leading opposition journal, L.eutenatit F. liarvey, son of the Lieutenant Governor, rods up to Mr. 11. N. Dickson, who was walking along Hollis street, and struck, or attenr.n,d to strike him, with a wh:p. According to tLe Morning Chrcnieie, the leading ministerial journal, ?Ir. Dickson had previously intimated his intention to assault Mr. Harvey in the street, was wahing armed with • stick, and surrounded by personal friends, to c3rry his threat into execution, and did, it point of fact, s . - p cut and strike at that gentleman with hisatfok—the Anne whipping being a mere retaliation for this assault The origia of the quarrel is not explicitly stated, but both parties agree that it commenced at a ball the previous evening. According to the Courien a crowd immediately collected, took Mr. Dirk son's part, and pursued Mr. Harvey to the government house. According to the Chreask/e, Mr. Harvey rode directly to the police-oflice, end gave information upon oath of the assault, and was attacked on his return by a crowd exasperated by the cx pate representations or Mr. Dickson and his friends. According to the Courier, Bir John Harvey add eased the mob and Mr. Dekson, " Assuring them that the law would protect Mr. Dickson, and that he would do all in Lis power re‘ a governor and a parent to give satisfacticn." According to the Chronicle, the governor has desired Mr. Harvey to bring the cue before the Supreme Court by the usual action fur assault, and vindicate the legality and correctness of his pruceediags. In so far as relates to the personality of tide disagreeable incident we refrain from pronouncing an opinion. A court of justice has been appealed to, and the real facts will be there elicited. It ought, however, to be remarked that the statement favourable to Mr. Harvey has been male by him upon oath, and corroborated by witnesses also (we understand) upon oath. The rersion put forth by the other party is not thus corroborated. But whatever the merits of the case there can be but one opinion of the conduct of the Morqing Courier, which has greedily seized upon the incident apparently with a vi..w to make political capital of it. That journal published an anonymous ex parte state ment, calculated to Ellstae the prude:A of the colonists, p dpably for the purpose of getting ministers into the dilemma of either offending tile governor by taking part against his sea, or risking their popularity by oppo.ing them selves to a popular outburst. Such tactics are quite in keep ing with the conduct pursued for years by the so.calltd " loyal and conservative" party in Nova Scotia. tit Clourt.

DISPUTED POSSESNION.—LAW r. PHYSICAL FORCE. —During the latter end of last week the greatest uproar and contusion has prevailed in the neighbourhood of Milford lane, Strand, in consequence of the diputed right of posses. gen of the premises, IS o. 8, situate on the left-hand side of the lane. floe premises in question consist chiefly of work shops, at present in the occupancy of Mr. Foster, engineer, The house wu originally taken on less* of Messrs. Young and Jackson, of Essex-street, by Messrs. Ingram and Co., the extensive printers, of Crane-court, Fleet-street, and subsequently rented to the present occupier. It aprears that, for some months past, a law-suit has been pending between Messrs. Ingram and Mr. Foster, respecting a certain print ing-machine, invented by Mr. Little, of the Illustrated London News, and manufactured by Mr. Fester. In the coursa of the action a dispute arcse ea to the right of posses. lien of the premises, Mr. Foster refusing to quit, and the parties rejecte. determining to dispossess him. On Thursday an attempt was made to take possession of the pre mises by physical force the ejecting party honing en gaged a number of powerful costennonzers to assist them in the event of any resistance, whilst the person holding pos session was qually prepared with se yr ra! of his workmen and a few sturdy coalporters. A desperate conflict ensued netseee the parties, sad the wrena that to:lowed haftLs all description ; and, had it not been for the assis-sace of the police, several Bees must have le en sacrificed. Some deem or more of the belligerents were taken to Bow-street police court, but were dismissed on the talowing day, the wetter bring quite out of the magistrate's jurisdiction. During the whole ut Friday and Saturdsy a strong hely of police were stationed on the spot, to prevent any breach of the peace; but, notwithstanding those precateions, on Saturday the dis graceful proceedings were twain commenced, when the c batauts fought each other with crow-bars, stones, tile., and anything they could lay hold of. The coceequences were tufa. Four persons were conveyed to Kiug's College Hospital, soil placed under the care of Mr. Finch, the house surgeon, two of them (wh >se names we could not learn) havieg sustained a broken leg each, besides other injuries; W.

Many petitions emanating from workshops, fac tories, streets, and districts, have been sent direct to London by their originators, and have been gent rally entrusted to Mr. Mdr.er Gibson, Mr. Bright, or Mr. Brotherton for pre sentation. The experienoe of the emunittee is not in favour of petitions with single signature, the waste of payer and of labour in the wri•irg out of the potitions being very groat, seeing that any one of tho retit;cuu might have leAtu so written that twenty names could hove boon attaohed thereto' ZEELAND, Destur, JeNz 24.

As the Ecening Post fairly observes, when the whole fund for *rich purposes is only 1,200/., it must be mitten that the science or literat ure of Ireland have not been overlooked in the distribution. Mr. O'Connell has withdrawn from the League. This determination he annouuccd on Friday in a ;cng letter "to the people of Ireland.* The Rignt Rev. Dr. Browne, Bishop of Elphin, has given a conditional support to the League. He is not quite satisfied with the rules, and does not alto gether approve of the confederates taking the lead in a body which represents the " peace and older* which must sway the catholic clergy. He sanctums the League if the law sanctiqns it--etherwiee not. Before he formally adheres, he wishes that the opinion of the meat eminent lawyers should be taken, as that there should be no dangle of conflicting with law or authority. The heads of the League are divided in opinion about the formation. The Yoeng Icelanders ara all for moving without the O'Connell party, while others, with some judement, see in each • course Bme, inevitable, and rapid decay. At a meeting of the committee of the repeal asso ciationyesterday there was a protracted and aeimated discussion about the extinction of the main body. On a point raised—that the question of disselntim should be postponed for another fortnight—the O'Connell party had a majority of two, the numbers being 18 to 20. Another question was started immediately after —whether the association should meet, a, per resolu tion of the 12th last, on Monday next. Here fol lowed mach crimination and recrimination.
