OVvittag LONDON, TUESDAY, AIAY 2, 1848, An extraordinary amount of repugnance evinced list evsning by s evera l of the more guisbed among our Liberal represenlbative: d. wa s i Houso of Commons against th e introduction ()f n the resident in of a ew.qc:ve character t o foreigners Great ilritain. Wkh all our h eart we sympathise inn that repugnance, and yet we are as heartily rejoiced that the second.rea.lirg of the Alien 13111 was carried with a majority of 1 I 9. Doubtless to those who are couscituitiously opposed to this particular proposition of the Government there will appear in the fo rego i ng decimation w w inconsisten c y. To a ye onderful degree of To oar mind, however, we are guilty of no incon sistency whatever in abhorring the one project an d commending the other, for in our estimation there is between the two nut even a shadow of resemblance. Those who imagine that they are remaining true to that great Constitutional cause of liberality with which the kllustrious names of BROUGHAM, Fox, GREY, WHITBRSAD, ROMILLY, WILBERFORCE, HOLLAND) MACKINTOSU, and LANDSDOWNE have become iden tified are labouring under a deplorable delusion. This delusion arises from a sudden and extravagant obliquity of judgment in regarding as identical the circumstances of 1793 and of 1848, and in repre hending with equal ardour the despotic Act demanded by the Cabinet of PITT, and the harmless and rational ( Act required by the Cabinet of RUSSELL. Between the two Bills there is not one jot more analogy than there is between the two epochs—the bloody epoch when ROBESPIERRE was in the ascendant, and the pacific and fraternal epoch when the political pulse of France beats in unison with the gentle heart of LAMARTINE. True it is that Mr.Buelee in 1793 sup ported the Alien Bill of Mr. PITT because his whole soul revolted at the atrocities of those satur nalias of murder and spoliation which imparted for ever a diabolical significance to the 10th of August and the 7th of September. True it is that a lively imagination or a miraculous gift of penetration may detect in LEDRU ROLLIN a DANTON, in SORRIER. a CIIAUMETTE, in CABET a lIEBERT, in BLANQUI a MAriaz, in LERROUX a VARLET, and in the Demo eratie Pacifique a travestie of the Vieux Cordeliers. Yet, granting all this—granting there were ample cause for dreading the revival of the Reign of Terror. and of the emulation of those ruthless democrats who in the Committee of Public Safety and in the Revolutionary Tribunal connived at the blasphemies of ANACRARSIS KLOOTZ, and at the pitiless accusa tions of BILLAUD Valteeses—we maintain that there would still be required a reason for the passing of an Alien Act like that submitted to the House of Com mons in 1793. No massacre at Paris, no diffusion of anarchical doctrines on the continent, would, to our thinking, ever justify an Act so despotic and uncon stitutional. It is because the Alien Bill of 1848 is diametrically the reverse of the Alien Bill of 1793, that we are disposed to accept the former cordially, while we continue to regard with abhorrence the very remembrance of the latter. To explain our meaning thoroughly it is only necessary to observe that the measure introduced to Parliament in 1793, and afterwards revived in 1814, empowered the So vereign or the Privy Council to proclaim any indivi dual an alien, and to drive him from the country without assigning any reason whatever, and without being restrained in these tyrannical proceedings by any sense of responsibility. Whereas according to the Alien Bill of 1848 the Government will only be authorised to p rocee d on information sufficiently decisive to satisfy the mind of the Secretary of State that the person in question is embarked in enter prises (or call them, if you will, conspiracies,) calcu lated to be productive of very dangerous consequences- Even, then, according to a declaration made last night in the House of Commons by the Right Hon. the Attorney-General,—" if an application were made in the Lower House for such particulars and informa tion, the Secretary of State would be bound to pro duce them in justification of the Government." In this circumstance alone there is an ample guarantee that • justice will be shown to those unfortunate re fugees who are driven to this country for shelter 'from the itOrini and perils of continental revolution, Beyond this, however, there is a still more remarkable security to those foreigners who are actuated by merely pacific and reverential sentiments ; and that is the facility which at present exists of obtaining letters of naturalization. Some conception of how great this facility is may be gleaned from the fact that, while in 1793 and 1814 "insuperable objections presented themselves to kb reigners in obtaining letters of naturalization," no less than 789 such letters have been obtained, at an insig nificant pecuniary outlay, since the passing of the Naturalization Act of 1844. Consequently, as letters of naturalization can be obtained so readily, and as those who are naturalized are not capable of being subjected to the penalties of the Alien Bill, and as the powers of the Government are re. stricted in this instance within the narrowest limits, and as the Government, even when acting within those limits will be responsible to the vigilance of Parliament—we are disposed to welcome the proposition of her Majesty's Ministers with a cordial and unconditional confidence. Nu danger can by possibility ensue in consequence of re posing so small an addition of power in the hands of our rulers, and the character of England will remain unchanged as the resort of political desti tution, and the refuge of culpable .or unfortunate Istatesmen. Some intelligent opponents have ob jected to the Bill, because, in their estimation, it may be regarded as an insult in Paris, and as an evidence of jealousy towards the French Government. We should like very much, indeed, to know whether any honest French man would consider his country insulted by the infliction of penalties upon some unprincipled adventurer in the shape of a' Propagandist, and whether he would not consider his country in- suited by the derision cast upon the accent of French• men by the Hon. Member for Oldharn, and by tha comparison of the citizens of France to ourang outangs, which drew down last night the applauding laughter of the House of Commons upon the remarks of the Hon. Member for Montrose. What to us is it whether the maiden speech or the Noble Lord, now Prime Minister of England, was a diatribe against an Alien Bill conceived in a spirit ci true despotism, or what does it matter whether in 1816 Lord Aurnoß.r. declared " that no danger could be apprehended here from the machinations of any foreigners ?"—the Alien Bill of 1848 proves on exa- urination to have a decidedly constitutional tendency, and is calculated to render innccuous the niachina- tions of Propagandists and Communists, and there fore we are rejoiced to find it introduced so boldly by the Government and accepted so cordially by Par- lament. Ste WILLIAM SOMERVILLE last night obtained leave to introduce a Bill " for regulating the Elective Franchise, and for the Registration of Parliamentary Electors in Ireland," being one of thezelief measures which Government had announced their intention of bringing forward with a view of removing the just complaints of Irishmen, and tranquillizing their un happy country. The chief features of the proposed measure are perfectly unobjectionable, and although it may well be doubted whether it goes far enough in placing the constituency on a sufficiently wide basis, these are details which can fairly be con sidered in Committee, and by no moans affect the principle which strikes at the root oT some of the most prominent abuses, the most flagrant evils of the present system. These are chiefly—first, the ambi• guous character of the franchise ; secondly, the nar rowness of the several constituencies, consequent upon the insufficiency of the franchise ; and, thirdly, the system of registration, which at present is open to many and weighty objections. The Right Hon. Baronet forcibly and clearly ex plained the evils resulting from the ambiguous and doubtful character of the franchise. There was no uniformity of decision ; not only assistant-barristers or County Court Judges, as they may be termed, differed in their construction of the statute, but even the Judges of the Supreme Courts themselves inter pretated the law in a totally different manner. ffence, persons who in one county would be con sidered perfectly eligible, and placed on the li s t o f vo t ers , might, in the adjoining one, be rejected. of a There could even be no certainty the necessarily e results osns theri y partlePi to much expense , pea a peals to the ultimatpedtritbounaj,. i great This irritation of those who were refused what they were fortified hat they - conceived to be a just right, and in which o by seeing others who were similarly circumstanced to appointments being eligibility of the to themselves in the enjoy meet of the franchise. It might also possibly lead conferred, not from the superior districts in which par ties, but f rom th e ir peculiar views oil questions which might influence the e lections in the they m i g h t b e called i n to a dj u di c ate, and thus to give a predominance to one or other of the conflict jog parti es t h ere i n. There was anot h er ev il o f great magnitude, however, which was scarcely alluded to, which w ill be wholly removed by the contemplated alteratio n , viz, the temptation to perjury, which existed so lon g as the possession of the franchise was o i n f t a h n e y degre epart y el s a u ira ff zg ed itt, e to depend rof t he upon,e he the might brin g testimony forward as witnesses in eupport of his demand. Every one at all acquainted with Ireland is too pain fully aware of the mass of conflicting evidence, the contradictory swearing, that is brou g ht f orward on all risters, and the tim e th at is disput e d q u e stion s o f value b efore the Assistant-Bar unnecessarily consumed in hearing and adjudicating upon that evidence. No system could be devised more calculated to demoralize [he peasantry, and induce them to think lightly of the solemn obligation of an oath, than that tc which we have adverted, and in abolishing altogether the practice the Government will have conferred A boon upon Ireland that will be highly valued by every right-minded man in the community. For the future there will be no question of beneficial into rests, or what solvent tenants might give for the tene ments if in the market to be disposed of ; neither will there be any question of the tenure. The franchise depending on occupation will be wholly based upon rating; one simple and invariable rule will be adopted Every person occupying premises rated to the relief at the poor at 81. per annum or upwards, will be entitled to be placed upon the register of electors ; and joint occupiers, provided that each occupation when divided was of the net annual value of Si., according to such rating, will likewise be entitled. This is a great improvement, for no . _ sufficient reason could be assigned why parties who were each possessed of the requisite amount should be excluded, because they enjoyed an undivided estate. Persons also entitled to estates in fee or in tail of the annual value of 51., will be entitled to a vote, provided they are in the actual occupation of the premises. The only restrictions on these right: , will be that the party must have been in the occupa tion of the premises for six months before he can bt placed upon the registry. He must also before voting produce a receipt for the payment of the last rate that has been made for the relief of the poor. There is to be no change with respect to parties qualified other wise than by occupation, nor with respect to the town qualification, save that in the latter case all the clauses requiring payment of municipal rates are to be repealed, with the exception of so much of the poor -rate as had not accrued within the preceding three months, and the franchise is to be conferred upon joint occupiers. The smallness of the several constituencies in Ireland has been generally admitted ; when it is considered that the whole of the county voters in that country at present do not exceed 60,000, not quite double the number who possess the franchise for the West Riding of Yorkshire, the necessity of a great extension will be apparent. The Chief Se cretary calculates that the numbers will be qua drupled under the new system. This will, undoubt edly be an improvement; the only question will be whether it is sufficient. It is, however, a large instalment of justice ; and, as we have already said, t is one of those details that may properly be settled in Committee, which does not at all affect the great principle of a franchise based upon rating, and not in a ny degree dependent upon tenure or the construc tion of a doubtful statute. The :registration question is stated to be exceed ingly complicated, and the full consideration of this part of the subject has been postponed until the second reading. We shail therefore wait, without expressing any opinion, for the explanations that nia3 ~hen be afforded. One distinction between the prac- Lice in the sister kingdoms. will, we trust, be abo, fished. In this country the ' lists of voters are revised every year, and if a party has improperly been placed upon the registry, the name will be expunged the following year, if an y well- rounded objection can be alleged against his reten tion. This is not so in Ireland. If a party has once been admitted, he must remain thereon for eight years. There can be no valid reason why the law should not be assimilated in both countries, and why an annual revison :should not take place in Ireland as well as in England. The predominant feeling of all the countries of Europe may just now be summed up in one word— Expectation. However different their individual condition, each and all look with mingled hope and anxiety to the future. All have been, more or less, agitated by the recent convulsion, although all have not been alike influenced by its effects. In some nations the worst throes of revolution are over— those agonies which, according to a happy simile of MACAULAY'S, invariably convulse the body politic - luring the exorcism of the evil spirit of despotism. But even in those in which the evils of revolution are at an end, and peace and tranquillity are restored, the benefits of revolution are yet to come, and such nations, necessarily, look anxiously to the future. The more hopeful and ardent Republicans look forward without fear—unwavering believers in their own attractive theories, they fondly imagine their full realisation to be at hand. Others, again, too sadly convinced of the instability of human affairs, watch the progress of events with fear and trembling. Nevertheless, however varied their opi nions, all feel that a great era in their nation's his- ory is at hand, and wait in anxious expectation. So t is with France, now that the novelty of Re publicanism is at an end, that the hazards of the elections are safely over, now that the truth of the theories of Republicanism —those schemes which, under the name of "liberty" and " equality," have so often filled the hearts of nations with ambition and enthusiasm, and which, as set forth in the proclamations of Ronasrixax and the pages of LAMARTINE, have excited such universal and irresistible admiration—are about to be subjected to the severe and practical test of reality. Expecta tion is at the present moment the predominant feeling of France and of every individual Frenchman. And a similar feeling pervades those other kingdoms which, like France, have recently attained to a higher degree of liberty, such as Prussia, where the KING has signalised himself by his concessions, and such even as Austria, where ex traordinary liberal innovations have in an especial manner testified the power of the popular will. But there are other nations as yet less fortunate than those we have particularised, who are filled with no less expectation and anxiety for the future—nations, who have yet to taste the full blessings of liberty, such as Italy, even now battling for her rights, or who have yet to strike the final and decisive blow for independence, such as Poland, even yet enslaved by the domination of Russia. Can we be wrong in saying that the one great feeling which now fills the hearts of nations situated like these is expectation, the most eager and anxious expectation, as to what the coming hour may bring forth for them ? Nor is England ex &tided from participation in this universal feeling. We, too, look upon the future with hopeful anxiety. The endeavours of the disaffected to promote dis turbance have happily failed, and even the alarm which those attempts had excited has now subsided. We await in calm, but not the less anxious expectation, the realisation of those ameliorative projects which have recently been the topic of political discourse, and have excited the popular anxiety. Other kingdoms are now fol lowing in our wake, and modelling their constitutions by our example ; and it is consequently by no means fitting that we should relax from our exertions. Black wood, in comparing the revolution of Europe and the Chartist attempts in this country, very correctly ridicules the notions of those pseudo-patriots who desire England to emulate the liberal movement in other nations. " There is no royal road to freedom any more than to geometry," he observes. " Eng land has preceded other nations by two centuries in this glorious path ; it would ill suit the masters to rece d e, and i mitate the follies of such as are only becoming tyros in the at tempt to follow it. Those who have long reached the summit, and know with what difficulty it was attained, can afford to smile at the young aspirants who invite them to descend and renew the toil of the pscent." Nevertheless, however correct this may be, it would be equally unfit for " the masters " to suffer their imitators to surpass them. It is for us still to maintain our proud position in the van of the great regenerating march of progress. Such, notwithstand ing the opposition to the Chartist movement, is the earnest desire of the English people, and because, they too, like all the other European nations, are now look ing forward with anxious expectation.

The accounts from the disturbed districts are satis factory. Order continued undisturbed at Rouen, and at Eibceuf the National Guards and the troops of the line had taken possession of all the posts occu pied by the rioters. The General commanding the 14th militiiry division and the Procureur-General of iiouen had arrived in that town for the purpose of restoring order, and examining into the affair. Ac cording to the latest accounts from Limoges, that town was still in the hands of the ouvriers, who had established a scrt of Provisional Government, and had established themselves at the Prefecture, from which they had previously driven the Government Commissary. Some serious disturbances broke out at Amiens on Saturday, in consequence of the refusal of a demand made by the oucriers that they should be paid their wages on Easter Tuesday, the day of the elec tions, as though they had actually worked for therm The National Guards and the line were imme diately called out, and the crowd having forced their way into the Hotel de Ville several collisions took place between the people and the troops. The mob then began to build barricades in the different streets, but the National Guards and troops took them with out any great difficulty, and by the last accounts the rioters had been completely put down. Only one person is stated to have been killed, but a great number were wounded. Eighteen of the rioters have been taken. Returns have been received from fifty-three depart ments, and they give a large majority of moderate Republicans. M. LaDRU ROLLIN and his supporters, are at no pains to suppress the expression of their rage and disappointment at this result. Three Prelates have been returned for the Assembly ; the Archbishop of Paris is returned for Aveyron ; the Bishop of Orleans, for Lozerre ; and the Bishop of Quimper, for Finisterre. It is said that the opening of the Chamber will not be postponed beyond Thur.;day, the day originally fixed, but the grand national fete, which was to have taken place on that day, has been postponed to the 10th. ' The Marquis and Marchioness of NORMANDY dined on Saturday with AI. DE LAMARTINE, at the ' Hotel of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. Considerable apprehensions are entertained lest the anarchists, finding themselves so completely beaten in the As sem bly, s hould endeavour to ma k e anot h er outbreak. Ltersay that the f a m ous revolu tionary Lea Voraces, h a d been et s s aeiet from y, Lyons called dis solved, the commander of the city having declined to recognise it. The Voraces immediately made a seditious demonstration during the night at the Hotel de Ville to demand the dismissal of Gen. GEMEAU. Saturday they attempted to carry off four cases of arms destined fur the National Guard ; they were, however, repulsed. ..the troops occupied the principal place in the town on Saturday night-800 men were in the Hotel de Ville. There are various rumours in Paris as to the nature of the constitution which will he probably adopted by the Assembly. it is said that the moderate majority of the Provisional Governments led by .11.1. DE LAMARTINE, Will propose to the Assembly the constitution of a republic, with a single Chamber and a President. As a substitute for the retarding action of a Senate, or second Chamber, it is proposed that the President shall be invested with a suspensive veto, to be valid for three months, after which, should the Chamber not revoke or modify the Act upon which the veto has been laid, it will become law. The Government entertains a con fident expectation that a republic constituted on these bases will be accepted by the Chamber, and that the question will be settled without much delay or even discussion. The duration of the tenure of the presidency is not yet settled, but it may be re garded as certain that M. DE LAMARTINE will be the first President. A general meeting of the shareholders in the rail , way of the north took place on the 29th, M. lloxasciimn in the chair. The report stated a great increase in the traffic, and proposed a dividend of 9f. 95c. It is said that many agents of commercial houses in England have received large remittances in gold, to lay out in Parisian produce at the present low prices. Many purchases have been made at 20 and 25 per cent. discount. It is understood that the decree recalling General CAVAIGNAC from Algiers has originated in the fact that M. ARAGO finds the management of the Ministry of War impracticable from want of professional knowledge, and Government hopes, when General Cavalfasiac is present in Paris, to overcome those scruples which they cannot surmount at a distance. M. FLOCON has, it is said, seceded from the Ledru Rollin section of the Provisional Government, and given in his adhesion to the Moderate Party led by M. LAMAIITINE. A considerable sensation was yesterday created in Paris by the publication of a proclamation from the Club des Droits des Ilommes, and signed by 13Annss, LEDON, HABER, and several of the principal demo crats of Paris. The proclamation is expressed in the most violent terms. It declares that the object of the club is to defend the real principles of the revolution and the principles of the rights of man, as they were defined and proclaimed in 1793 by ROBESPIEIGICE, by arms or otherwise; and it calls on the people to join in establishing those principles, under penalty al being stripped of their property and liberty. A meeting of the shareholders of the Dieppe Rail way Company took place on Saturday. A consmittee of five members was named to proceed the next day to examine the line, and to ascertain what sum will be necessary to finish the line. The Secretary-General of the questors of the late Chamber of Deputies his, by order of the Provisional Government, published a notice in the different jour nals to the following effect : " The representatives of the people who may be in Paris are requested to come to his office previous to the 4th, the day fixed for the opening of the Natioual As sembly, to inscribe their nam es an d a dd resses , said re ceive cards which will make their capacity known.

In consequeafe, the Five per Cents. have advanced If., closing at 70f.. 75c.; whilst the Three per Cents. have declined 25e., closing at 47f. 50c.

Th e Vieille Montague Shares, which had gone don n to 1,0901., had been for some days improving, and closed to•day at 2,9001.

E. PRINCE VON LEINENGEN. " Munich, April 11." GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES AUSTRIA. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has issued the following notice : " Free corps from Naples and Tuscany had previously joined the irregular bands which are devastating Upper Italy under the pretext of assisting in the liberation of their brethren in Lombardy. " Not content with this, the agitating party has now also requested the Government of Naples and Tuscany to send regular troops to the scene of war, in order to take the field against the Imperial army. " In consuquence of the hostile position which has now been taken by the said Government, it is impossible that their representatives can be permitted any longer to reside at the Imperial Court. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has accordingly caused their passports to be pre pared." The Intendant-GK. , ral of the army corps, Count MARzANI, under the command of the Master of the Ordnance, Count NUGENT, has addressed the following report to the Minister of the Interior : " As a postscript to my report of this morning, I have the honour to send your Excellency a copy of the con vention concluded between the delegates of the Provi sional Government of Udine, and the Master of the Ordnance, Count Nugent, with reservation of the con firmation of the Provisional Committee in Udine. "I beg leave to call your Excellency's attention to the military importance of this capitulation, whereby the subjection of the province is secured, the delivery of the fortresses of Palma and Osoppo materially accelerated, and the immediate advance of the enemy rendered feasible. "Count MAItZANI," "Head-quarters, Casignacco, April 22." The Minister of War has received the following reports from Italy : The Master of the Ordnance, Count NUGENT, re ports from the camp of Casignacco, under date April 22, that the acting Government of Udine, in pur suance of a resolution of the city, adopted on the evening of the 21st, entered into a negotiation with him, and that already on this day, the 22d, at one o'clock, preliminaries to a definite subjection of the province of Friaul was concluded, which we hcpe will lead to very satisfactory results. The Master of the Ordnance states that all the troops have greatly distinguished themselves, espe cially the artillery. The reports from Count RADETSKY are dated Verona, April 21. No essential change has taken place in his position. (From the 'Menu. Zeituny, April 26.) TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH. " GORTZ, APRIL 24. " After the ratification of the convention the Im perial troops entered Udine yesterday afternoon at one o'clock, where they found weapons, ammunition, and three field. pieces. The Imperial troops in their progress from Terris effectually attacked the enemy at Pontcho, and forced him to retire. ".Expresses are being sent off in all directions throughout the provinces of Friuli, for the purpose of suspending hostilities, and of rendering the roads secure. • `• This day the troops are continuing their march from Udiue, and will besiege Ccdroipo. " Count HARTIG. " To his Excellency the Minister for Foreign Affaire PRUSSIA. By a tele graphic dispatch received at Cologne , dated Berlin, 29th inst., addressed by M. AUERSWALD, Minister of the Interior, to M. DE BAureaß, Chief President of the Rhenish Provinces, is the following announcement :—" By reason of differences existing in various printing establishments on the question of the pay of the workmen, the Berlin papers will not appear to-morrow--possibly not for a day or two following. The peace of the city is not disturbed." General Wrr.usErr has published an address de fending his administration of the affairs of Posen during the time he was in the duchy. POLAND. The Gazeta Polska gives the following intelligence from Warsaw : "A conspiracy among the military having been dis covered here, the officers of the Warsaw garrison, who were arrested, have been already tried by court-martial, and four of them were shot in the citadel. Throughout the kingdom of Poland the peasants are said to have been authorised to deliver up their lords of the manor to the gendarmes if there is the slightest intimation of an intended rise. The report of a counter revolution in Gallicia, induced by a person in official capacity, similar to that of 1846, has again been mooted. It is not im probable that the numerous incendiary fires now taking place in several of the circles of Gallicia may be connected with this." The Breslauer Zeilung has a letter from Krotos chin of the 23d, stating that the Prussian troops have near Adelnau been violently attacked by a mob of scythemen. General Count DOHNA, with one hundred Riflemen and ten Cuirassiers, marched on the 22d to wards Adelnau, where an onset was made upon him by an armed body of Polish rioters, who were, after five hours' fighting, driven back upon the town and reduced to sue for an armistice. Count DOHNA al lowed them half an hour. At the end of this time the tocsin was sounded in the town, and4,ooo scythe men appeared, who renewed the attack, in which one hundred and six of them were killed, and the Count being reinforced by a company of infantry and a file of Hussars from Ostrowo, succeeded in taking posses sion of the town. The Prussian troops had only one man killed and five wounded. A Silesian paper, of the 22d, affirins that 10,000 Russian troops—foot, horse, and artillery—have proceeded to the Prussian frontier close to Myslowitz. The Austrian Commissioner at Cracow has re ceived orders from his Government to guard the Aus trian frontiers against Prussia with a military cordon to prevent " great masses of certain Polish emigrants overrunning the territory of Cracow; only such Polish emigrants as can prove that they are Austrian subjects will in future be allowed to enter the Impe rial dominions." BAVARIA. The King of BAVARIA has abolished the postage tax on newspapers. The Prince of LRININGEN has addressed the fol lowing declaration to the King of BAVARIA : " Though the events which now agitate the world bid fair to contribute in an unlooked-for degree to the great ness of Germany—though we may look forward to a happier future, based on freedom and well established law—yet, on the other hand, it cannot be denied that the present change in political institutions will not pass over without endangering social order. Many anarchi cal movements in various parts of Germany have sufli • ciently shown the danger which threatens the free deve lopment of those very institutions to which the nation has a just right to look for a blessed future. It therefore becomes the duty of all persons posses. sing property, great or small—be they citizens, nobles, or peasants—to support the Government in its efforts to carry out reforms by legal measures, and firmly to op pose anarchical attempts under whatsoever mask they may be disguised. I entertain the conviction that this can be effectually accomplished only by removing, as tar as possible, the barriers which separate the various classes of persons possessing property, in so far as those barriers prevent a closer unio❑ between those classes. Your Majesty's promise to remove feudal imposts is, as far as relates to peasant property holders, a grand pre liminary step. But still there are many rights and pri vileges of rank which tend to impede the fulfilment of the much desired object. Deeply impressed with the necessity which calls upon persons of every condition to exert their utmost efforts for the restoration of order and respect for the law in the now fearfully agitated state of the country, I, at least, will do the little that lies in my power as an individual; I, accordingly, place at the disposal of your Majesty's Government all those rights and privileges constitutionally secured to me by the edict regulating the lawful position of the former Electoral Princes, Counts, and Lords of landed estates; and I pray that these rights and privileges may be made use of as soon as they shall be deemed serviceable for the welfare of the state. " In the meanwhile I immediately renounce the fol lowing—being those the surrender of which is, in my opinion, most imperatively required. " 1. I give up all judicial, police, and forest jurisdic tion in my possessions in Lower Franconia and Upper Bavaria, on condition of the removal of all privileged appointments and pensions thereunto appertaining iu my seignorial estates out of Ifohenberg, and the abolition of the forest privileges as far as relates to tho jurisdiction of the communal forests. The two above-named seignorial estates have hitherto, after the deductions of all salaries and other outlays, yielded no inconsiderable yearly in come. If, iu conformity with the existing law, or any new legislative enactment a compensation should be awarded fur these renunciations, I give it up in favour of the poorer classes of the inhabitants of my two former seignorial estates. " 2. I renounce the patronage of churches and schools on condition of the abolition of the burdens imposed on the same. " 3. I renounce the privilege of judicature. " 4. I renounce the privilege of Siegelthassigkeit. " When by the union of the classes possessing- pro perty, freedom and law shall be firmly established, rights and possessions secured against arbitrary aggression from whatever quarter emanating, then it will become a sacred duty to turn attention to the condition of the poor labouring population, and by wise legislation and other appropriate measures to place th ew i n suc h im proved c i rcumstances as will ensure their ready co operation in the preservation of order. The undersigned most humbly assures your Majesty that the prospect of FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE The seventeen members added to the Diet Nvere present at the sitting; of the 27th April, to present the project of a constitution for Germany, on which they had been enraged, and to read the preface to this document, which had been prepared by M. DAHLMANN. These gentlemen apprised the Diet at the same time, that it was their intention to publish very shortly their project, to which the above preface would be annexed, in form of a " publicandum" to the Diet, which step the Diet did not object to, merely reserving to itself the power of examining beforehand such project, and to pass an ultimate order in conformity with the result of the examination. The Diet at this sitting declared to these seventeen members that it was its wish they should assist at its public sittings, in order that it might have the, benefit of their information and counsel in all questions of consequence, especially on the discussion of the pro ject of a constitution they had just submitted. The " envoye" for Nassau announced that, by virtue cf the demand made on the part of the Government cf Baden, 3,400 and more of the troops of Nassau, with eight pieces of cannon, had entered, or were on the point of entering, the Grand Duchy of Baden. The Ducal Government of Saxe Coburg-Gotha submitted to the knowledge of the Diet the project of a new constitution for the Duchy of Saxe Coburg- Gotha, and announced at the same time that the elections for the National Assembly in the Duchies of Gotha and of Coburg would terminate the ht of May. After a very long discussion, occupying the greater part of the morning, and nearly the entire of the evening, the committee of fifty-six came to a vote on the proposition relative to the federal execu tive authority. This proposition was passed by 23 for and 15 against, with this amendment proposed by the commission—that a mutual consent with the committee of 56 ought to precede the election of the three members. It was also decided that the choice of the :ederal military chief ought to teke place im mediately, and not to be deferred until the nomi nation of the three members together. BADEN. From the Carlsruhe Gazette, under date of Fri burg, the 25th ult., it appears that the General in command has published the following proclamation for the safety of the town :-1. Arrest of the heads of the revolt, and of all persons aiding and abetting it. 2. All arms to be immediately given up. By the 24th, many of those most compromised had been already arrested. The inhabitants, on the 25th, had given up their arms. A great number of the free corps were taken in before, as well as after, action. The whole (amounting to abOut 2CO) were lodged in the barracks or the town. The same journal states that a body of Alsatian workmen, all wearing blouses and caps alike, but the greater portion badly armed with sabres and pistols, had in reality crossed the Rhine, and were marching to the mountains. The Cologne Gazelle gives news to the 27th. At that date all was quiet, the rebels were then round about Kaudern, where in all probability they would fall into the hands of Gen. DE MILLER'S troops. Manheim continues in a state of disturbance, and there had been some rioting at Wiesbaden. With these exceptions, the public tranquillity continued undisturbed. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A Bremen paper, the Weser Zeitung, of the 29th, has the following telegraphic dispatch from Altona of the 27th The Danes are retiring upon Tondern to reach Rippen. They have been cut off at Aken, and their batteries at Holnis taken." The Weser Zeifung adds—" The more immediate task of the German army, namely, to rid the Duchy of Schleswig of the Danes, may now be considered as effected. The status quo ante which the Diet had de manded is now restored, and it may be expected that the King of DENMERK will in future be more willing to listen to the claims of the Duchies." The .11ainburgh Borsenhalle of April 25 says—"M. TATEIN, the Prussian Consul at Copenhagen, has tendered his resignation, and addressed the following letter to the Berlin Cabinet : " Copenhagen, April 19. " During the painful position in which Prussia was placed in the years 1806 and 1807 by the domination of the French, I was enabled to render numerous services to the Prussian agents, who were sent hither, and espe cially to relieve Major Huhnerbein from a dilemma which would have been highly detrimental to the Prus sian State. For these services the Prussian consulate was confided to me in 1808, and in 1816 I was nomi nated Prussian Consul-General. "'As in this moment, in which Denmark, the great lover of peace, is endeavouring to quell an insurrection in her own country, King William Frederick IV. of Prussia, in the eyes of civilised Europe, is giving aid to those rebels, I feel myself compelled to relinquish his services, and herewith return my two patents of nomi nation.

" Since it is universally known that the Provisional Government of Schleswig-Holstein, which has consti tuted itself by its own authority, is recognized as legal by the King of Prussia, that Provisional Government being, however, stamped us rebellious by the King of Denmark, and with him by the whole nation, I feel com pelled as a Dane to return to the Prussian Ministry for Foreign Affairs my patent as Prussian Vice• Consul, which I enclose herewith, with the request that my consular functions for that place may be considered as concluded.

CAPE, arrived at eleven last night from Hamburgh, having sailed at midnight of the 2l)th ult., and bringing a Borsenhalle file, from which we extract the subjoined intelligence : The Danish troops have retired upon Gravenstein, and several Danish ships•of-war have been driven down Flensburg Bay by the fire of the Prussian artillery. The fortress of Bau was evacuated by the Danes on the night of the 27th. • A Prussian division and battery will at once ad vance upon Handersleben. The Hanoverians under General HALKEr were to have commenced operations against the island of Alsen on the 28tih The castle of Sonderburg is expected to stand a siege, The Danish Chamberlain OXHOLN, who was sent on a mission to St. Petersburgh for the purpose of asking the military intervention of the EMPEROR, is understood to have returned with the answer that Russia will on no consideration interfere in the pre sent contest. The Great Belt is now effectually blockaded by the Danish navy. Under date of Lubeck, April 28, we learn that the blockade of the Trave was not confirmed. The Danish Minister of Marine has recalled the naval force destined for Lubeck, for the reason that the postal communication between that port and Copenhagen had not been interrupted. The harbour of Haltenau is still blockaded, and many Dutch ships bound to Russian ports have been ordered back. It is feared the Schleswig-Holstein Canal is closed to British shipping. COPENHAGEN, APRIL 27.—The Camilla, London steamer, has arrived here, bound to St. Petersburgh. CRONSTADT, APRIL 17.—The gulf from Hochland to Tolbau is full of drifting ice; but the stream to St. Petersburgh is fast clearing, and steam communica tion is expected to be re-opened tomorrow. Breslau papers announce a serious conflict between the troops and the people at Cracow, LOMBARDY AND VENICE. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 27th states officially that General DURANDO has been ordered with his division to the Pricul. Advices from Venice of the 23d announce that after a vigorous resistance Udine has been taken by the Austrians, by the treachery of the Bishop and a certain Colonel Rossi, of the Frioul. It appears from this capture of Udine that General NUGENT is making every effort to join RADETZEY. The Austrians, having made an attempt the lake of Garda, by disembarking at Ponsle, were repulsed at the point of the bayonet by the column Thamberg. The volunteers have fortified Rocca d'Anfo, and garrisoned Vestone. By a prociamatioa from Venice of the 24th the inhabitants are informed that the Tuscan General FERRARI was on his march to the Frioul, with artillery and cavalry, and that DurtANDo had sent him a reinforcement of three battalions of grenadiers, chasseurs, and Swiss troops. WALLACHIA. We read in the Vienna Gazette of the 23d " News as been received from Bucharest of the Ith, and , from Jassy of the 14th.
