By the arrival of the British and North American royal mail steam-ship Europa, Captain LW, in our river this evening, we are put in possession of advice, one fortnight later than any heretofore to hand. The Europa left New York on the 211 and Halifax on the sth instant, and bas thus added another to her many sncceseful trips across the ocean. Ti.. political news from the United States is not more than ordinarily interesting, but we regret to say, that the apprehensions which were kit as to the breaking out of rebellion in Canada have been fully and fearfully realised. The following is a connected account of what had taken place up to the time w h e n the despatches left MONTREAL, APRIL 26. Yesterday afternoon it was publicly announced that his Excellency would go down to parlia ment and suction numerous 10111, particularly the one relating to the customs. It was never presumed for one moment, however, that of e them. notorious At 4 and p detested ~ th " rebel bill" was to be the ceremony, a fair assemblage of people were col lected in front of the parliamentary buildings. It was not till 5 p.m. that the governor entered the conned chamber, and took his Feat on the thecae. In the in , antime, a rumour had got abroad that the " eel). 1 bill" was, indted, to be assented to. The report quickly spr ead, and before the con clusion of the ceremony a crowd, numbering about 1,500 pewees, were collected together to receive the representative of British sovereignty. The royal mo tion was given to forty-eight bills, amongst which, the crowd were informed by thou who had been in the interior of the buildings, was the obnoxious bill. About 6 o'cicck his Excellency entered his carriage, and was driven off at a rapid rate, amidst curses, pile, hootirgs, and a shower of rotten eggs, dirt and stones. Lord Elgin had to run the gauntlet I f the various n'iasiles, for the distance of 100 yards. The carriage windows were down, and Colonel Bruce was inside with him. Three eggs entered the eremitism and some struck his lordship in the face. Horses, equipage, footmen, &c., were all crmplete!y covered with the unsa voury missiles. Tee staff fared very little better. The fact of tho royal sanction having been given to the " rebellion lutes" b 11. now spread like wild fire. By seven o'clock alarm bells were ringing all over the town, and cries went through the streets calling a mass meeting to be held on the Champ de Mars, at eight o'clock. By the appointed time, up ward,inn,,oclocteivioitthousan had sw d el \re a lp to le s b o ld e assembled, and by One of the leaders of the mob got upon a chair, and addressed them in a violent and inflammatory manner, amidst repeated deafening cheers. He said: "The time for action has arrived. We must work. We have pew d resolutions enough—they have beendis regarded. To the Parliament House"" A chord in the hearts of the vast multitude had been touched, which every heart re-e.lused. The moving emends, pre ceded by torches, marched at a furious rate in the di rection of the legislature. By 10 r. m. eight thousand person were in front of the buildings, where the 1 Assembly was in full fession at the time. A shower of stones "as thick as leaves in Vallambrosa," were poured upon the windows, which, from the brilliant manner in which they were lighted, af forded a most tempting meek. When the stones came pouring into the windows, the members of the Assembly thought it time to beat a retreat, and retired into the lobby, there to urea., the issue of event. No sooner had the members left, than about one hundred of the mob, armed to the teeth, rushed into the Assembly-room, and the:l.' leader, swearing be would come Oliver Cromwell over them, placed himself in the Speaker's (hair, assumed the hat, and announced, with stentorian longs, "Gen tlemen, the French parliament is dissolved! adding, and we are all going to h-11" One brawny fellow then seized hold of the mace, which, from the house being in com mittee at the time, lay cn the table, and having shouldered it marched off. The rest set to work, and thsawkaction commenced. Whilst this body of men were smashing everything ins:ds the Legislative Assembly room, a cry of fire was suddenly raised. In the meantime Gal. dewy, beading the members, clerks, and ladies, rushed thesimh the hall of the house, and out at hs Fin :teaser, a z reeably surprised at not finding them skipped. The fury and rapidity with which the lutes spread can hardly be imagined; in leas than fifteen minutes the whole of the wing occupied by the House of Assembly . was in flames, and, owing to the intimate communications between the two houses, the Upper House was rapidly involved in the suss destruction. The mob had now amounted to almost incredible umbels, and remained stoical spectators of the scene. The troops arrived shortly afterwards, and were re mined with load cheers, which several companies of, tae 23rd regiment returned. One soldier, a private, fired his musket in the air; he was immediately arrested, and sent to the guard house.

Noteighty dollars worth of property was raved. The loss is irreparable, and regretted by all. The Queen's picture was lava from the burning buildings, but destroyed the streets. The party in charge of the mum emrkd it to Donegana's Hotel, and there placed k is the bands of Sir Allan MeNab. No lives wee hat. T. B. Turner, Esq., of the Montreal Nburier Sir Allan McNab, sad the Honourable W. Badgely, in attempting to save some books from the libra ry . were nearly UM. They were obliged to drop the weeks and tusk for the legislative council chew bee door, which, to their horror, they found locked. Their cries were heard by a party to the library of the council, who had axes, and the panel was smashed is J they then escaped by a ladder from the balcony. It was runou.ed amongst the assb, that the French members were hid in the cense,, and would be delroyed by the fire. The anbounese I meat was received with the most brutal cheese. At twelve o'clock, wised with the work of the even lag, the multitude dispersed. His Excellency. the Governor-Geteral, with his family, came =ale town, and remained all night under the prates don of a large guard at Governmeat Hoes& Zesty 1 this norm& Maim Mask, Reward, Miateseassie, &chile, and Ferries, proprietor of the Yessfreal Goodie, were arrested on a charge of anon. They were taken before the police meestrates, end after en examination of a feeratosoll, remanded to gaol till to-morrow. The excitement dwiog the day was in tense. A mob of 3,0 0 0 persons ascompnied them .to the gaol. Through the inflames of their leaders, the mob were prevented from any outbreak. But it waa represented that more good would arise from their incarceration for a few hours. In the evening it was %immune:eel that a meeting would be held on the Cnamp de Mars to-morrow at two o'clock, the Hon. George Moffat (who had been arrested but wu afterwards liberated) to be in the chair, when the pesos and safety of the country will be discussed. It has already been decided, thet safety and peace can only be insoted by his Excel- bog going home. Notice will be given him to quit the confines of Canada before the expiration of the week. Sir Benjamin D'Urban is to be stalled upon to administer the affairs of the country till he receives tidings from home. A French magistrate, named Arniot, who went to the gaol with the prisoners, wee nearly torn to pieces by the mob. An assemblage of persons was collected outside the government hone during the whole day, for the purpose of laying hold of the ministry, and were only prevented from entering the house by the presence of the military, with whom it is the determination of the British party not to quarrel, and it was also the militsry's desire. The soldiery enjoyed the fun excessively, and many were the scoffs and jeers pumped on the French party. Every now and then, one of the ministry would make his appear ance at the door ' and quickly retire at the precious howls of the mob that greeted his pee- Bence. The governor was not in town, be having left in the morning. Half a regiment is stationed at Monkland's. About 8 o'clock the mob was augmented to several thoumands. Messrs. Lafontaine and Holmess determined to make an &tempt to get out in a cab through the mob, which they succeeded in doing, after the cab had been turned round half-a-dozen times, and their clothes had been torn and bespotted with the yolk of eggs. The , frontier of the mob then gave way, and one of the leaders having given the word, " To Mr. Hincks' bourn " the multitude moved off in the direction of Beaver Hall. Three cheers were given for the military as they pasted the guard-house. Having arrived at Mr. Hietke's residence, the work of destsucioa began ; and all the windows and doers of Messrs. Minch*, Holmes and Wilsoo's (a radical) dwellings ware smashed to pieces. Luckily at that moment a tig mh er was made, "To Mr. Lefontaise's!" which, with the aornent that Mr. Hincks had semi during the day, completely drew off the mob. bussMately upon arriving, the house of Mr. Ladiataine, which was quite new and finished, also the property of Mr. Lafontaine himself (al though he had not moved into it), was furiously attacked. The out-buildings were set on fire, and the house completely gutted, furniture smashed, mag nificent pier glasses broken to pieces feather beds =up, and every sort of d est r u ction possible. times the house was on fire, but put out b an y t he loaders. After the work was accomplished d mob retiring, they suddenly found themselves in the presence of a regiment of troops, fur whom they im mediately gave three cheers and passed by. The parliament met this morning at Bonaccours Market-hall, under the protection or a guard of &ars. The debate was of a rather stormy character. The ministers attempted to defend their conduct in not having taken precautions against the evident dis turbance • but they made a very lame affair of it. Sir Allen 11.141 ab reproached them bitterly for the way Is which they had degraded the governor-general in making him sneak down to the house to pus the bills, without the usual notice, and toad them plainly that, bad the thing been done openly and properly, then would have been no disturbance. Mr. Boniton (Toronto) declared that he had bees told bye gentleman that one of the governor•generds own eta had told him that his excellency came down to the house in the way that he did because he woe afraid to meet the storm of public indigestion. On this some member declared Mr. Boulton to be oat of order, u it wu diareputable thus to speak of the representative of the sovereign ; on which Sir Alen M'Nab said that the honourable member might consider it disreputable, but it was still in order ; and he had heard much worse language than that used with respect to the sovereign's representatives. APRIL 27. Pursuant to a requisition, a large assemblage of the merchants and other respectable citizens of Montreal collected on the Champ de Mars this afternoon, about two o'clock. The number assembled was between three and four thousand. The Hon. George Moffat, on the motion of Thomas Mahon, Esq., was celled on to preside. The gentlemen who moved and seconded the reso- Wions, severally addressed the meeting, and the sen timents expressed by each were in effect similar to these contained in the resolutions. Mr. Murray, of the Insurance-office, ae a Scotch man, was ashamed of the governor-general. He was not worthy of his country. The gentlemen of the Thistle Club had that day expelled him from being its patron. This announcement wu hailed with and laughter. The St. Andrew's Society had resolved to take the same ci:hre, and return him 101. he had given them for charity. This was to be done in debentures, the discount on which they proposed to pay, in order that his excellency should not suffer loss. After a vote of thanks had been presented to the Hon. George Moffat, the hon. gentleman again urged on the meeting the necessity of preserving poste and order. He said the government of Loid Elgin bad been strongly condemned at home. Mr. Thomas Wilson, and Colonel Gugy following, addressed the meeting. They both urged the necer shy of preserving the peace, and quietly dispersing. The former called on the multitude to organise and join in the " British American Leegue.”—He said, that by so doing, they might throw themselves into the hinds of a committee in whom they could rely. It would confine itself strictly within the limim of the law, and use such exertions as must ere long be crowned with success. Three deafening cheers were several times given f o r the Queen; and the multitude then quietly dis pensed, occasionally groaning the governor. The following are the resolutions pawed : Moved by_Thomu Motion, R"l . seconded by JAMS SOOtt. Resolved, —That this meeting views with ' , Veen,' re gret and pain the present state of excitement of the public mind, and the Malt &straw ion of public and private pro. paty is this city, and pledges itself to maintain public order by all moans in its poser. Moved by Thomas Wilms, RR ;tended by Thomas Hay, itati 2 ved.—That the ascent of the governor.gectral taw bill for the ppyment of rebellion loam in . the opinion of ea, in ca used, although it cannot justify, the meat outbreak of popular feeling. Maud by Robert Abraham, Esq.; seconded by Reory thessaan, Esq. Ressived.—That while we have to complain of his ex- Nana having allowed his advisers, with the weight of his prison. Some soldiers belonging to the regiment mani fested the intention'of liberating their lieutenant, limn which they were also placed in prison. There they made each a noise that it was found necersary to call five companies of the 45th of the line, under the orders of the general and the prefect, to bring them to reason. At Chalons-sue-Scene. on the 11th instant, the gar risen made a grand socialist demonstration. AU the soldiers and officers paraded the street, cryit g cut' Vile Is .Ripubligye Densocratique et &dale. They then went to their barracks, forced open the gate labish had been shut, and liberated some of their semarades, who bad been incarcerated for paliecal Saw. At Bourg's, were some officers of the 42nd took the part of the accused there, seven officers of that regiment have been placed on the retiring list. Re giments who were about to vete in a hostile sense are said to have been stopped in the exercise of the right inverted in them, and it is slid that queetions are to be pat from the tribune on the point. This keels to the question, will the tribune be open mach longer for debate. The elections will be over to day, but the Assembly will not meet for a fortnight. Ia the interim it is the intention of the ultra-democrats te him a house, if possible, every day. The ministry ere equally determined to have a count-out each day, their friends being . ready, in case a hostile vote be attempted, to come in and flood the chamber. It was determined by the friends of the government that, immediately after the vote g of the budget, the scratin elle tribune would be resotted to to close the sitting on account of the absence of sufficient members. In the Assembly to-day there was more confusion and uproar than has been known for a long time. M. Milliard questioned ministers as to a telegraphic despatch addressed to the prefects by the minister of the interior. This despatch announced the result of the vote of Friday ; the names of the repreeentatives Aim bad voted against the order of the day being ItZIM. Maillard, amidst a great uprcar compared i to the famous electoral bulletins.. ieltich M. Faucher had been obliged to disavow; and asked was there not a connection between those bulletin, and the telegraphic despatches he had mentioned. The Minister of the Interior said he had only per formed an imperious duty by acting u he had done. It aas of the utmost necessity to remove the anxiety which had been felt in the department.. M. Marquis read a letter from Beauvais, stating that he had been announced, in a letter wri' ten di ther, as having voted for, when he had in truth voted against, the order of the day. M. Faucher again explained; upon which M. Lagrange ascended the tribune, and said that, according to the arrangement made by the minister of the interior, the Garde, IMobile would be unable to vote. It was, he said, upon a body on which they had showered praises that they now cast this affront. But they had done mote; they had dared to say that, but for the vote cf Friday, the scenes of June would hare been renewed. "It lie you," continued M. Lagrange.—" you, who foment disorders." (" Bravo, bravo," and great tumult, which lasted some time.) M. Leon Faucher again enured into explanati one. He had, contrary to his decision already given, ordered the Mobile to vote. The next At sembly would de cide whether they had a right to vote or not. He concluded by declaring that it was beneath his dignity to answer all the calumnious imputations to which he was subjected. M. Goudebaux got up to enmplain of the despatches sent by the minister of the interior into the depart ment of the Yonne, and read a letter which stated that in all the departments the electoral esuse had been lost to the opposition by this manceuere. Ho called upon the Assembly to put in force against the ministry tl e article of theconst.tmion which punishes with imprisonment for a month, and a fine of 2,0041 f., all those who have fraudulently mameuvred to influ ence the election. An ordre du jour motive in that sense was then propoeed. M. Barsguay d'Hillii re demanded the order of the day only. M. C. Thomas wished the minister of the interior to be given up to public contempt, but not the cabinet, in which he saw honourable men. lie demanded that the elections shnuld be annulled if, after they had taken place, it was found that they had been influenced by the mauceuvres which had been described. (Great noise and cries of " Bravo.") A Voice—What, has the government nothing to save M. Larochejsequelin said he did not condemn the telegraphic despatch, but the conclusion of it only, ' which might laid to the worst consequencts here attn.. (Bravo.) The minister of the interior again rose to explain, bst was scarcely heard amidst the noise of crow qua= that succeeded each other. He said that the votes of the Assembly were published eve-y day in the departments. "Never,' said he, "has liberty been more respected under any government ; acd, n .t -withstanding you and your manoeuvres (addressing the left), it will still be so." After a few words from Denjoy,eriticising whatM.Larochejacquel •in had said, M. liarsgusy d'Hilliera proposed the s mple order of the day. M. Odillon said this was perhaps the first time that an assembly had been present during the elections of that which was to succeed it. The present Assembly was in a peculiar position, one which ahould impose upon . it a certain reserve. Whatever resembled an anticipatory protest of a vote was virtually an infir 'nation of the4adgment of the country. There could not to bo two Judges of the elections which were now I proceeding. The country would pronounce, and was sow pronouncing. This was a constitutional ques tion, one which it was the mire important to solve by a vote, as it would present itself every day till the installation of the new legislature. After some further discussions the Assembly pro ceeded to vote on N. Maillard's proposal, which was thus worded: "The National Assembly, blaming the desp . a . ch of the 12th of May addoeased by the minister of the interior to the prerects, passes to the order of the day." The vote is taken by 1 sertaits des divisions at the tribun e. At half- I past four the President announced that the scru-1 tiny would remain open till it had attained the num ber of 501. The Assembly was numerous, but a F reat number of members abstained from voting. This, as above stated, was a resolution taken beforehand by part of the Assembly. However, it was remarke I that Messrs. Dufaure and Bedeao had yard. The scrutiny had not closed when our despatch left. ease.

Aran. 29. 9 o'Cnoeg.—After the breaking up of the meeting on the Clump de Mars yesterday, everything ma- tinsed quiet until about half-past seven, when we heard the alarm of fire, and the engine bells ringing , furiously ; we immediately made inquiriee, presuming that, from no alarm being given from the French church, the ringing of the engine bells was a mere ruse to draw oat tie people. It turned out just as we supposed. It ap,*ars, from some information we received, that some English lads were standing near Pyper'e store, at the corner of Dalhousie-square, when they were fired at by some Freuch Canadians, and two or more of them wounded ; an alarm was immediately g:ven, and in an incredibly short space of time an numerate crowd was collected, who went shouting about the streets for nearly an hour. We have not been able to sacertain, up to this time, that any mischief wan done. The troops were drawn up to Dalhousie-square, and the main-lc:ad formed a line across Notre Dame-street to prevent the crowd from paveit gin that direction. We are told that the government has caused a quantity of arms to be served out from the ordinance stores to the French Canadian', thereby committing the fatal blunder of arming one portion of the population against the other. We shall say no more on this subject just now. We believe that Colonel Ougy met the crowd in Notre Dame-street, and need his influence and authority to induce t .em to disperse. We regret to say that report has it that one of the lads wounded was a son of Mr. Driscoll, Q.O , quite a bel- At a late hour last night we heard that the British population in Beauharno.s and M it si evquoi are in a state almost approaching to lam , metier), and have declared their intention to march to the assistance at their countrymen in Mentreal, if they are required. One shopkeeper in the township sold fifty pounds of lead in two dojo, to be cast into ballets for the rifles of the stout fellows on the frontier. Since writing the above, we have heard that the parties who fired on the group of lads were some of those who had received arms from the ordnance stores. ' The intelligence is thus continued in telegraphic , despatches received in New York on the day of the I departure of tLo Europa : MONTREAL, Aram 30. 5 P. w.—Lord Elgin came to town at three o'clock to-day. The carriage was ecorted by a troop of provincial c tvalry. The streets were lined al the i way to the Government-house by the people, who biased, cursed, and pelted the chariot as it passed. When the escort hid passed the French cathedral into Notre Dame-street, a company of the 22nd regi ment closed in b.hind to protect the cortege. Op le the Government house, his krdsh i p w as struck Ea stone on the head and by an egg in the face. troops were then separately cheered. The members of parliament then proceeded to the Government-house to present their address. As they 1 peeped through the crowd they were actually covered with dirt and the yolks of eggs. The members were preceding in such a plight, escorted by soldiers, to re ceive the Governor-General of Canada, to present to him an address from the parliament, congratulating him on the quiet state of the country ! During the ge of the members through St. Paul-street the C l :Act was read, and the troops charged. No lives were lost, though the crowd was very demos. This is a sign how troops whose hearts are with the people can act if necessary. The governor proceeded cut of town by the saburbs. A Major Botiches has arrived from Kingston, and has waited on Sir B. D'Urban, to represent to him the dreadful state of the country, and to urge that if something be not done the people will march on Montreal. Riots are feared to-night. John Young has been appointed chi. f magistrate of the city. He is a strong partisan, and is supported by the present ministry. Despatches from Quebec state that the governor was burnt in effigy in that city on Saturday night, and that the authorities were using strenuous efforts to preserve the public peace. Upper Canada shares the same fate, and the effigy of the governor has been burned in many places, and at Brockville the autho rities were compelled to assist in the ceremony. To-day the people are quiet, upon the assurance of the governor that the French shall be disarmed. The governor is to go to the Parliament-house at six to night, and mach trouble is expected. The provincial cavalry have arrived in town. A despatch has this moment been !received at the Montreal Courier office from Brockville, in which it is stated that the information bad just been received at that place of the arming of the French Canadians by the governor, and that steamers will be chartered for the purpose of bringing down armed men to the assistance of Montreal, and that this may shortly be expected. The state primers have been liberated. From Hastings, Frontenac, and Glen garry, the news is to the effect that all the populace of these counties are arming, and awaiting orders to march on the me tropolia. MAT 1. 5 P.m.—A deputation of French Canadians, to con gratulate Lord Elgin on the quiet state of the coun try, arrived in town this morning from Quebec. This 'mooted a great deal of excitement, and a large mob, sombering some 6,000 or 7,000. assembled to pre yed their landing; but, notwithstanding their efforts ' to prevent them, they saceeded in effecting a ludo, at the crams, about three miles below MontreaL A large mob was prepared on the wharves to receive them. They were, however, landed at the Longuiel , fisup. about a mile below the city. It is feared, ' (Be a d they go down again by steamer, that the boat will be attacked. Mr. Boulton will move in the House of Assembly to-night for a dissolution of the union of the two provinces. An address calling upon the people of the city to keep the public peace, signed by the most influential members of the con servative party, is to be sent out to-night. Intelligence has retched town from Toronto of ea 1 immense meeting having been held, and ape tition to the queen to recall Lord Elgin and diesolve pulite- 1 wait decided on. News from Kingston is to the same effect. As I close my despatch things look quite peaceable. The steam-ship, Cambria, had arrived out at Boston, via Halifax, on the 27th ult., after a passage of twelve and a half days. The screw steamer, Sarah Sande, arrived at New York on the Ist inat From Mexico we learn that cholera was on the increase. Accounts from St. Domingo city. of the 13th nit., state that President Idealongue was within 18 miles of the city with 20,000 well disciplined trooFs ; be had taken all the towns on his march, and was ex pected to attack the city in a dsy or two.

THE ELECTIONS. PARIS, MONDAY, 5.30 PIK. Tho number of votes recorded in the twelfth arron dissement of Peril yesterday was about 120,000, that is, a liede more than a third of the number of electors. Everything passed off quietly, and precau tions had been taken that no disturbance should occur at the ballotting places. In the morning the regi ments occupying the forts rn the left bank of the Stine were distributed amongst the divers mairies of Paris, and from thence subdivided into the elec toral sections of each arrondissement. Au entire battalion remained at each mairie, and in the evening an additional force was placed to guard the Ernst is' which the voting tickets had been placed durg h day. Although it is impossible to state the positive result, it was generally rumoured last evening that the thorough republicans would have many more votes than it was generally supposed they would have. This is, however, mere guess work. The Debate, in oppo- 1 sition to these reports, states that the changes wbich were attempted in the lists originally voted at the preparatory scrutiny had been treated without favour, and that the party of order will gain the day, meaning thereby that it supposes that the list of the Union Electorate would unite most votes. I The telegraphic despatches received from the I i departments generally announce that the electoral operations had been conducted with the greatest order everywhere. At Nantes all had been quiet, as also at Rouen, where, on the first day, upwards of I two-thirds of the electors voted. The Garde Mobile have not been allowed to vote, and the reason of this is contained in a letter from the minister of the interior, which says that the Garde Mobile must be looked upon as citizens distant from their homes, where they would be entitled to vote, but that as a collective body they cannot , There is considerable hardship in this. In connechon with the army and the elections, the opposition papers mention divers facts, which seem to show a determination to coerce those soldiers who evince democratic tendencies. The Reforms says that, on the 13th, twenty socialist sol diers of the 18th Regiment of the line, almost ell natives of Paris, were ordered off without any pre vious notice, under the command of a sergeant. The names of the men are given. In the National is a letter from Bordeaux, dated the 11th instant, which sates that a lieutenant of the Garde Mobile, having been present at a socialist banquet, and cried Vire la RepublupeDemocratique et Suciak, has been put into ....wall i • I 1 NW' t 111/10 .

THE MURDERS AND SUICIDE IN WALES.—The leanest upon the bodies of Th ie. Davies, Mary, bis wire, and Mary, their child (an account of whose violent deaths we r e c orded), was held before W. Lloyd, En., coroner, at Llanwenog, on the 3rd inst. The principal question for the cossideratiot of the jury was, whether Thomas Davies,—the anchnbted perpetrator of the deeds,—was sane or "sheotherwie. On this point Richard Davies deposed that had known deceased for nearly two years, and during that time thought him at intervals out of his mind, especially during the last twelve months. lie had ob served many times to its (blow is at Ilighatead that he would *loci, commit suicide and harm his family. Did not consider him a proper person to be left at large, and thoaght this from his incoherent expressions at different times." Serjeaut Lloyd could not Judge of decessea's state of mind, exc. pting that he heard him make use of some foolish expressions. John Jones adduced the fact that de ceated used to pray night and morning, and it was reported distils had been doing so on the morning of the murders. John Jones, of Rhyddlan, proved eccentric sets ea deceased's part, such as entertaining suspicions as to the pa ternity of his child, and requesting that his (antral sermon might be pre.ched from 'Ezekiel. The mes e fully atebe lieved deceased to be insane. The jury immediately returned es their verd;et " That decemed committed the aiming acts while In a state of temporary insanity." DEFEAT OF THE NEAPOTATANS BY THE ROMANS. The following official intelligence of the firbt affair between the Ro nen and Neapolitan trooi a was pub- liaited at Rome on the 6th : YINISTRT OP goitatow AFTAIA. ROH R E, May 6 The following are the particulars of the brat rencontre, on the road between Tone di Mena and Albano, between cur troop' and a corps of Neapolitans, which et first were SOO in number, bet were afterwards increased to 2,000 The enemy were put to flight, and threw away their tire-arms, leaving du, prisoners and two rime of artillery in our possession, which are now, 3 o'clock, p.m., entering Rome. (Signed) The Miaiatir, ' CARLO RUSCONI. It seems strange that the French government should sot have published the above ; for, having Igiven the despatch from General Oudinot of the Bth inst., which will be found below, it can hardly be supposed that they had not received it. ' ROMAN STATES.—The following telegraphic despatch appeared in the Paris evening journals on Sunday, and the Monileur of M nday, from General Oadinot, dated from Palo, on the Bth inst.: The 3rd brigade and the 16th light have s•fely landed. The numerical force of the expeditionary corps is quite suiti. dent to secure to France the uendancy she must mreise in this country. To-m• ern. I shall advance to take up a pod , tion, from which I shall command the western zone of the city. I am strongly established at Fumisino. Tee health and courage ot the tro .ps Inlay.) me nothing to desire. With the exception of ab u' 30 wounded, the Ro man government has not in its possession a single French muddier, nor even a knapsack. The concluding statement of this despatch, it will be seen, was written after an exchange of prisoners for the muskets seized by the French, and referred to in our operestesselent's letter given yesterday. 'flee Inumber of pawners taken by the Romans, as we have Iprevioualy stated, and of which private letters, just received, contain confirmation, was originally 640. On the occasion of the entraare of the Neapolitan troops into the states, the triumvirs published a pro clamation 'deign the organisation of a guerilla warfare against the invaders. The following proclamation was issued by the Neapolitan !general on entering the Roman 6tat : People of the Roman States!—At the head of a erne of troops of my august sovereign I advance towards you, with the minion of dissipating all the obstacles which hitherto have prevented the free expression of your sent:aunt, of re spect and reverence towards his holiness the 'imams ruler of the church, of restoring the authorities in the came of the supreme reigning poot.if, of re storing order and protecting the security and pence ot fanlike. The object of my mis'iion •11117P11 me at once of its easy and immediate fu.filuunt, by the unanimous consent of this good pops latios, and remotes every doubt that 1 might meet with difficulties to overcome which I shou:d be obliged to e mploy military force, alth , tdt with troops that announce themselves as nieces come to your assistance. The General, k. Wieeremea. VENlCE—Letters from Venice, diced the 3rd of May, state that the blockade on the part of the Aus trian fleet was very strict. However, great I repara tions were being made to lessen the annoyance by arming gun-boats, which would probably drive away some of the Austrian vessels. SICILY.—The Opinions of Turin states from S'eily, 2nd inst., that the royal troops el ere to t later Palermo on the lat., and that nericus collisions had taken !lace bAwe2n the national guards and a portion ot the po pulace. It was b.lieved that, in consequent cof his victory in Sicily, the King of Naples would revoke the constitution of the kingdom. SARDINIA.—We have letters from our corre spondent at Turin of the 10th inst., wh:ch say that a rumour was spread there that an eraragi meat bad taken place between the Romans and Neapolitans, is which the latter had been worsted. 300 of the Austrian garrison of Allcrendria left that fortress on the night of the 7th inst. PEACEFUL SOLUTION OF TIIE DANISH QUESTION. The propositions mane by Lord Palmerston to the governments of Denmark and Prinvia in relerence to the Schleswig-Holstein question have been accepted by the Danisb sinhasaador ; and there is good reason to believe that the Prussian niiniFter in this country will also give in his adhesion to the arrangement on the part of his government. There is therefore every prospect that this contest— out of which has arisen so much political animosity and commercial inconvenience and lost—will be speedily terminated. GERMANY. AUSTRIA.—Dates from Vienna ere to May 9. The he ad manaeement of the Russian invasion is in the hands of a diplomatic military council, under the personal superintendence of Paskewitch. The leading members of this council are—General Berg, who ace* mpanied the Emperor to Schrenbrunn,ard at the review on the glscis rode by his side ; General Sophianos, a little cunning Jew, native of t he Crimea, and intimate friend of Abramowitz, Cie Rus.ian pre fect of police in Cracow ; and lastly a certain Chevalier do Firks, who has earned notoriety and promotion through a vie iety of gallact end other ad ventures in Petersburg, Warsaw, and Moscow. The chief military command of the caps which comes through Cracow is committed to Gen. Freitag, a man well stricken in years, whose r xperience in the Caucasus, at the herds of Manly] A y, will have ,hardened him agains t the reveries he is likely to meet with from Demtnneki. Freitag is re Gem= by birth and e::ucation, u well as name, Under him Rndiger acts as general of the corps; Sass, ale) em ployed in the Circassian war, as general of division ; and Prokop. The corps conse,ts of 21,600 infentry, Cossacks, one regiment and N squadrens of Uelons, and 10 batteries of artillery. The whole corps crossed the frontier on the sth, 6tb, and 7th. A deputation, consisting of Count Zichy, the burgo muter Nemeth, and liar Janke, came to Victim), on the fith, erom Freeburg, to accompany the emperor to that city. The Schloss.hof is prepared for his reception. Preaburg is strongly entrenched. The bridge which crosses the left arm of the Danube, form ing :he great Schutt island, is smeared with pitch, to be instantly fired in case of need. In the bridge of boats the middle pontoons have their anchors drawn up, to be cut adrift at any moment. The Magyars are in Szerdahely. Welden arrived in Preshurg on the 7th, and took up his abate in the primate's house, where the Diet used to be opened and closed. In Pesth, by the lest accounts, all was quiet, but the enthusiasm or the people unexampled. 'Me fair sex seemed changed into maenads, and many clothed them selves in male attire, and wore arms. The city swarms with labourers, whose object is the defence of the country. All workers in metal—even to tinmen —turned their hands to the fabriceion of arms. Kossuth was daily expected from Dehreezin ; and pr. parations on the most extensive scale were m ode for a festive reception of the president of the Ilene - trim republic. The Vienna Presse quotes a long article from the KerNese, the official gazette of the insurgent government, repudiating, in the most enerec tie lan guage, any further connection with the house of Hapsburg. PRAGUP, May 10. Martial law has just been proclaimed here and in the immediate distinct around. The principal parts r f the city are barricaded and occupied by the troops. De press is suspended, and the political aathorifes placed under the control of the military. The pre valent feeling among the inhabitants is rather that of surprise than irritation. The m - mbe - s of the Slovanska Lips, viz. Sladloveki (alreey weil known in the days of June), Gaatsch, and ltutt, ba-e been arrested. 12.30 P.M.—A telegraphic despatch anno in.,ea that the Vienna train will not arrive.
