By order, J. R. MOIVATT, Secretary. Company's Offices, 14, Moorgate-street, London, May 4, 1848. -- ...._ . . . - NOTE.—The Directors contemplate making two more Calls of 21. each in the course of the present year, payable about the end of August and the end of November. Administration—a Diet consisting of two- Cham bers, a Senate, and a Chamber of 383 Deputies— a quintennial Parliament—freedom of conscience and liberty of worship—liberty of speech—liberty of the press, and abolition of censorship—liberty of pe titioning—inviolability of person—prohibition of do miciliary visits—maintenance of the secresy of corre spondence—trial by jury—a national guard—and .the annual submission of the budget ofreceipts and payments of the State, including the cost of a standing army, the imposition of taxes, the collection of tithes, the alienation of State property, and the distribution of the civil list, to the decision of the national repre sentatives ! Before the mind can grasp the actuality of this concession on the part of the Emperor FER DINAND, it is almost startled into incredulity by the very signature which is appended to the decree as a official corroboration. FERDINAND of Hapsburg- Lorraine seems at the first blush to be a glorious joke at the tail of such a document. Happily, however, for Austria, the imperial autograph is countersigned by the signatures of five distinguished statesmen— FICQUELMONT, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and President pro tern., PlLLEBsnmirr, Minister of the Interior, KRAUS, Minister of Finance, SOMMARUGA, Minister of Public Instruction, Z mum, Minister of War, — names which must for ever be associated with the emancipation of the Austrian dominions. We cannot as yet learn the impression created in the mind of Mr. MITCHELL by the very unexpected reception accorded by the Repealers of Limerick to the "prosecuted patriots." It is more than probable that the Learned Gentleman, who—however reckless and impetuous he may be in other respects, is fully alive to the main chance, and well aware of the im portance of permitting the public curiosity to remain unsatisfied until the next publication of the United Irishman, will reserve all explanation until the ap pearance of the war journal on Saturday next. We are, however, favoured with the views of Mr. MEAGHER on the untoward event, detailed by him to the Confeierates assembled in the southern metro polis, Cork ; and those of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN may be conceived from the fact, that in the first instance he had decided on resigning the representation of Limerick, and abandoning for ever the cares and tu mults of political life. Unfortunately, however, for his own peace and tranquillity, and we will add, for that of the nation also, he has again altered this prudent resolution, and the Imperial Legislature, the llusic•hall in Abbey-street, or the Rotunda, will again resound to his eloquent denunciation of Saxon laws and Saxon government. Mr. MEAGHEn openly confesses the "deep and poignant grief," " the s lame and humiliation" which he felt at the transaction, which, "for a time at least obscured the hopes in which he had fervently and passionately indulged fur the last few weeks, and which had created fears in his heart which he had thought the circumstances of the country had for bidden ever to rise within it." He ascribes the tumult (and with much apparent reason) to the in dignation that was excited in the minds of the people by the articles that had appeared in the United Irishman, reflecting upon the political character and conduct of the departed patriot, who had achieved for the Irish nation their emancipation from the bonds with which bigotry and intolerance had invested them. A Roman Catholic clergyman (and we honour him for so doing, for he could not have anticipated the nature and violence of the dis turbance that subsequently took place) called upon the people to repudiate a compliment intended for a man who had coolly and deliberately given utterance to such sentiments, and slandered the memory of their revered leader. This might, and in all human pro bability had, the effect of stimulating the passions of the people to the :utmost pitch, of induc ing them to burn the effigy, and to inflict personal chastisement upon the caluminator ; but it could not have so excited them against his associates and their own fellow-citizens, did they not entertain a profound horror for the sanguinary sentiments enunciated by the Young Irelanders, and their openly announced determination of involving their native land in all the carnage, the miseries, and the deso lation inseparable from a state of civil war. The in sult to O'CoNNELL caused the cup to overflow, but it was already filled to the very brim, and the least addition was certain to occasion such a result. The interposition of the military and police on behalf of the beleaguered confederates is alluded to in touching language. After describing the attack on the store, and the destriction of . the crockery, Mr. MEAGHER proceeds : " The consequence was, that the authorities were at last compelled to interfere ; the bugles were sounded, and every soldier of the garrison was drawn out. They swept the streets, and it was by the very power against which we are arrayed—and it is after all the most humiliat ing and depressing circumstance of the whole occurrence, that the very power by which we have been enslaved— the very power which we curse—the very power which we called on the people to arm against—that the very power, we, last night speaking sentiments that were hostile to them—defending the cause of Ireland's liberty against English usurpation—had to feel grateful, or if not grateful, at least respectful—that was the circum stance, I say, that caused me the deepest humiliation." Yes, that indeed, was the unkindest cut of all. CJESAR, when expiring, and uttering his last re proach, "Et to Brute," could not have felt deeper indignation than the agitators at finding them selves actually protected from the mobs they desired to excite by the civil force. That Mr. MEAGHER, should be escorted by policemen, if they were con ducting him to a place of security to answer for some open and advising speaking or writing, would be na rural enough, but that the police, in place of detaining him in custody, and vigilantly guarding him against any attempt at escape, should be engaged in warding off the kicks and cuffs with which the patriot was assailed by the multitude, that was indeed a degrada tion to be " deplored and passionately bewailed." With what countenance can he henceforth revile his preservers, or slight their power, when he has himself, witnessed its efficiency, and seen its magical effect in dispersing the crowds which he had fondly hoped might prevail against it. He must now be thoroughly aware of the utter futility of such an expectation, the folly of sup posing that an undisciplined and divided mob could defeat a properly-organized and efficient body of picked and well-selected men. Although we cannot sympathise with, we can fully understand the causes of Mr. MEAGnEE's bitter regret at the transactions which have taken place at Limerick. He must discern in it the termination of his own career as an agitator—the destruction of all his cherished aspirations. It has taught him, that in place of a nation rising in insurrection to procure his discharge from the incarceration he had merited for his flagitious attempt to disturb the public tran quillity, and to excite the whole nation to open in surrection, he will be suffered to remain in his cell without any effort being made for his release, save through the tame and common-place medium of pe titions and applications for mercy and forgive ness, which—if they are grounded on a sincere and firm determination on his part to conduct himself for the future as a good and loyal citizen, to renounce all sedition and violation of the i law, and to apply his unquestionable talents to legi timate pursuits, we shall gladly see successful.

Morning .. 23 min. after 2 I Evening 46 •• min. after 2 There are many Lord BEAUMONT a w te ho i , like ourselves, will to a cer tainp the sentiments expressed by meeting of Poland, he said that extent participate Literary yesterday, when, in addressing the a 7 Association of the Friends pain that he found them it was of the in those "with some degree of rooms, more holding their an nmuoanitmhseentginog that the Poles then present would now g h e a n ve er b a e t e io n n in wn t i h o e n ir o n u a g t h iv t e country, now.. for he thought a few aiding in that re ever, to be fLo w d e B p E a:t o i m ci o p ri a T te , accom plished." Nevertheless, although the w r e regeneration somewhat in the disappointment o we are far from despairing of of Poland ; far more willingly do s coincide in the hopeful assurances of Lord DUDLEY who on the same occasion declared his convictionTUA RT , that "it was impossible to see France completely free, Italy shaking off the yoke, and Germany vindi cating her nationality, and not to hope and not to feel that the progress of Poland towards the attainment of her rights must be accelerated." Yes, the emancipa tion of Poland must be accelerated by the recent Re. volutcons. That toe resurrection of Poland oiust be an inevitable consequence of the European Revolu tion, we entertain no manner of doubt. It may, per- THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY __ EVENING, MAY 4, 1[849. haps, be protracted for a while in consequence of the extraordinary power and stringent precautions of Russia, and owing, perhaps, to a diminution of ardour and hopefulness on the part of the Poles themselves, a necessary consequence of their long enslavement. Never theless, during that unhappy period the spirit of Polish nationality, we would fain believe, was not dead, bat sleeping, for a people's nationality, as the Italians declared in their recent manifesto, cannot be anni hilated—it is as indestructible as are the high prin ciples from which its existence is derived. Hence we look to the future of Poland with anxious interest, but without fear. The day of regeneration is 'at hand, if not so near as we could wish. That spirit of independence which the death of Kosclusxo could not destroy will survive all the insidious attempts of a Russian police. Prince CZARTORYSKI, one of the most prominent of the Polish patriots, has, on leaving Berlin, addressed a letter to Baron VON ARNIM, in which he deprecates the conduct of Prussia, in not establishing the independence of the Grand Duchy of Posen. " I arrived at Berlin," he says, " full of hope. Prussia, the organ of the generous sentiments of all Germany, seerraql to desire that she might be the first to undertake the reparation of a great injustice. She offered not merely to per form the faithful execution of the promises she had made in 1815, but, by new acts of benevolence to that part of Poland which she holds under dominion, to efface the vestiges of ancient injuries, to put an end to recriminations, and to strengthen Germany by the gratitude of the Poles. I quit Berlin with a heart heavy from the disappointment of these bright anticipations." We should be loth to coincide in the gloomy lamentations of the Polish Prince. W e should be most reluctant t o b e li eve th a t the Germans, no w filled with exultation in their newly-asserted independence, will f ee l no sympa th y with a neighbouring nation who, stimulated by their example, and by the example of all Europe, is anxious to participate in those national prerogatives from which it has hitherto been most unrighteously ex cluded. Neither are we disposed to believe that FREDERICK WILLIAM, who has hitherto seemed desirous of leading the van of the popular movement, will destroy his liberal reputation by refusing to co-operate in a cause so righteous in itself, and so peculiarly im portant to every European nation. Nevertheless, even if Germany res p on d not to the appeal of Poland— ifl' o R Ef NI DERIZOILVAISI:LtIhAeMventure so far fro m d espa i r i ng, to emulate th e con ductwill only display new resolution. Let them re member that, after all, a nation's best defender is an unanimous people. The advice of BYRON to the Greeks is always appropriate to every nation similarly situated. He bade them " trust for freedom" to no one—for . vYV "In native swords, and native ranks, The only hope of freedom dwells." But, however other nations may conduct them. selves, the sympathy of England will be always with the Poles, and if it is only our sympathy that we now offer, it is because we feel assured that the emancipation of Poland will be far more effectually and speedily secured by an European peace. Th e moral effects of the great changes now transpiring will ere long be manifest. And we venture to hope that before the friends of Poland hold another annual meeting, the predictions uttered yesterday by Lord DUDLEY STUART may be realised, and the lamenta tions of Lord BEAUMONT rendered unnecessary. I request you, in the name of the Provisional Govern nt, to accede to my desire, being persuaded that at a, future day the entire department will thank You for that new act of patriotism. Health and Fraternity. " " LEDRU ROLLE.C. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. " Paris, April 25." _ " Citizens,—The Provisional Government has thought proper to make a new appeal to my devotion. I will respond to its confidence. Notwithstanding my wishes so often expressed, notwithstanding my family interests and private affairs, I will continue at the head of the Department of the North, in compliance with the ex press orders of the Provisional Government, and the desire of the Hon. Minister of the Interior, Citizen Ledru Rollin. I will remain amongst you; and if the anxiety to do good, the consciousness of your wants, the deep sentiment of order and conciliation, have any weight in your eyes, I um convinced that you will ac cord to me your co-operation; it is my sincerest wish, and to that end all my endeavours will tend. I lately recommended you to forget all differences of opinion— to labour in common to consolidate the Republic. I will not change my language. I will be understood by the good citizens, and, in the present difficult circumstances. all will concur in the imui,l-tal device of the revolution of February—Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. " • CH. DELECLUZE, the Commissary- General. "'Lille, April 29, 1848: " The Lille journals," adds the Constitutionnel, " Inform us that this intelligence had caused in the city a sort of stupefaction. The retirement of M. D&6- eluze after the elections had been announced by himsell almost officially during a visit paid to him eight days ago by a great nutnber of officers of the National Guard. He bad even observed that he was most desirous to resign functions he had always regarded as essentially tem [)orarv, and that he most earnestly wished to re-enter , private life and resume the direction of the Journal de Valenciennes, of which he was the editor on the 24th oi February last. That assurance had powerfully contri buted to restore at Lille the tranquillity that reigned there during the elections. The Minister of the Interior tnd M. DeleAuze have, it appears, altered their minds. since their result was known. The electoral struggle in the Department of the North was, nevertheless, disastrous for the system of exaggeration, of which M. De!io:uze.ll7:6 constituted himself the fervent partisan. The results are significant. The moderate Republicans have all been returned, and the only Exaties who have succeeded were carried on both lists. M. Lamartine obtained 217,765 votes; M. Coyne, 199,935; M. Ledru Rollin, 42,173; and M. De:6.3luze, 43,403. Such is the triumph obtained by the Commissary-General of the department, after having agitated during two months the honest and in dustrious population of the manufacturing districts, at the risk of totally ruining the manufactures, lately so flourishing, of that rich province—after dismissing in a mass the mayors and justices of the peace, assisting the deplorable expedition to Belgium, and engaging against a courageous magistrate in a struggle in which right and reason prevailed, thanks to the intervention of the Provisional Government. These are, no doubt, the 'enormous' services of M. Delecluze, and it is to re compense him the Minister of the Interior has awarded him a civic crown in the name of the Government. Can this be the case? We doubt it. In the meantime we trust that the population of Lille, ro energetic and in telligent, will show itself in this circumstance calm anti moderate. In a few days the National Assembly will meet; and the regimen it will adopt will no doubt be a regimen of real liberty and fraternity: we shall then have a real republic. If the same insane attempts as those of Rouen and Elbeuf were repeated at Lille, there, as elsewhere, the good sense and firmness of the entire population, armed for the defence of social rights in the ranks of the National Guard, will suffice to defeat them." The Chargé d'Affaires of Portugal announced on Tuesday to the Minister for Foreign Affairs the desire of his Government to establish and maintain the most friendly relations with the French Republic. ABD-EL-KADER arrived at Pau at midnight on the 24th. He was immediately, together with his suite, consisting of eighty person:3, conveyed to the Castle. In Paris all were on the tiptoe of expectation for the opening of the National Assembly this day. LEDRU ROLLIN has become more violent than ever, and in the R 6 forme of yesterday he defends the rioters of Limoges and Rouen, and denounces the Government and the authorities. He talks about the massacre of the people who have been butchered at Rouen, and denounces the persons employed by the Government to inquire into the matter as creatures of LOUIS PHILIPPE and CHARLES X. ; that their presence is an insult to the majesty of the Republic ; and that whatever report they may make, he, as Minister of the Interior, will spurn them into the dust. He then turns round and apostrophises Limoges in gentle terms, congratulates the rebels who have seized upon the town (and still retain possession), and holds them up in proud contrast against the hideous butchers and bourgeoisie of Rouen.

M. LUCIEN MURAT, son of the late King of NA PLES, has been elected deputy in the department cf the Lot. Two: clergymen and M. PARISIS, Bishop of Langres, had been returned in the department of Morbihan. The whole of the returns of the members elected for the National Assembly have not yet been re ceived, but enough has transpired to show that the number of Legitimists who have found their way into the Assembly is much larger than was previously supposed. The violent Republicans, or those who look to LEDRII•ROLLIN and Louis BLANC as their leaders, will, it is supposed, muster about 100 votes, the Legitimists and concealed Monarchists from 250 to 300 votes, and the moderate Republicans not more than 500 votes. The following declaration of the Societe des Droits de l'Homme, which had been placarded about Paris on Monday, and afterwards torn down by order of the Provisional Government, was yesterday distri buted about the city in handbills : " SOCIETE DES DROITS DE L'IIO3IME ET DU CITOYEN. —This society has for its object—first, to defend the rights of the people, the exercise of which has been restored to them by the revolution of February— secondly, to draw from this revolution all its social consequences. As its point o f d epar t ure , th e soc i e ty takes the Declaration of the Rights of Man as laid down in 1793 by Robespierre. It ensues that, in a political point of view, the R e pu b lic, one and indivisible, com prehend* the inalienable laws of the people. In a social point of view, the old constitution is abolished, and that which is called to replace it must rest on equality, solidarity, and fraternity, the fundamental principles of the new social compact. C onsequent l y, t h e soc i a l i revolution, now at ts commencement, places it self between the parias and the privileged of the ancient state of society. To the first it says— be united but calm, for in thi s li es your strengt h . Y our number is such that it must suffice to manifest your will and make you obtain all yo u d es i re. I t i s a l so suc h t h at you cannot desire anythi ng b ut what i s j ust. Y our voice and your will are the vo i ce an d t h e wi ll o f G od. To the others it . says—the old soci a l f orm h as disap peared. The reign of privilege and exploitation is passed . In the point of view of the anc i ent soc i a l f orm, if t h e privileges yourselves of them; these the immense majority of your brethren were stra n g ers to them, and, therefore, are not bound to respect t hem . Rally then together, for you have need of the pardo n of those whom you have so long saecrrsiifistce in retraining If, retrainingia spite of thi s prom i se o f par d on , y ou p i la n w a s e w g e a r l e manner,w youritwith whichdo work; n avail you w ere i nveste d were acqu i re d isolated in or d er to d e f e nd the old social form, you will find in the van-guard, on the day of conflict, our sect ion s organized, and your brethren will no longer hold towards you the language of pardon , but that of justice. The Delegates of the Society, VILAIN, NAPOLEON LESSON, HUBER, CIIIPPRON, BARGES.'" The papers openly accuse M. LEDRU ROLLIN of being the instigator of the riots which have taken place at Marseilles, Limoges, and Rouen. The Commerce says— " What is most serious at Limoges is the complicity of all the authorities in the plot of the Communists. It was the Colonel of the National Guard who betrayed his soldiers, and placed them in the power of the dis turbers. It is a substitute of the Procureur-General who serves as secretary to the Insurrectional Comit-6 formed by the ouvriers. Such defections are deplorable. Under the Republic, to betray the Government is to betray the people, for the Government is but the ex pression of the will of the people." A conflict, which might have had the most serious consequences, took place yesterday at the Ministry of the Interior. The post there is mounted at the same time by the Garde ll6publicaine and the National Guard. The detachment of the Garde Republicaine is composed of Montagnards, and is specially attached to the person of the Minister. They have not, consequently, the mot d'ordre. Yesterday, the chief of these Montagnards entered the post of the National Guard, and on the refusal of the lieutenant com manding it to give him the word, he dared to lay hands on him ; the lieutenant immediately called to arms, and ordered his men to arrest him ; but the entire party of Montagnards, consisting of 60 men, having likewise taken up arms, the National Guard of whom there were only about 20 present, were obliged to give way. _ _ The ultras at Marseilles attempted an e mute on the 28th, but the authorities succeeded in repressing the rioters, and in preserving the public tranquillity. The Journal de Rouen, of the 2cl instant, mentions that M. DESCHAMPS, the Government Commissary, had resigned his powers to M. lIIPPOLYTE DUSSARD, who had announced in a very conciliatory proclama tion his appointment to that post. The choice of the latter for the office had produced the best effect. The city was perfectly tranquil, and the judiciary pro ceedings commenced against the revolters of Rouen and Elbeuf were conducted with considerable activity. Twenty persons arrested at Elbeuf were conveyed to Rouen on the Ist by a stror g escort of National Guards, and several leaders of the move ment at Rouen, amongst whom was one of the prin cipal club orators, M. AIA.THIEU DTPINAL, were apprehended on the same day. The following from the Constitutionnel exposes an other of the unprincipled and tyrannical proceedings which M. LEDRU ROLLIN everywhere adopts in order to secure to himself the dictatorship:— " We had announced," says the Constitutionnel, " that M. DelecliSuze, C om missary-General of the De partment of the North, had tendered his resignation, and that it had been accepted. That fact, which we derived from a quarter we had every reason to regard as authentic, was accurate on Saturday, but is no longer so to-day. M. Delecleuze has been reinstated in his functions with fracas. The inhabitants of Lille, on awaking this morning, found the following placard posted on the walls of the city:- 4 ' 'THE MEMBER (,E THE PRoVISIONAL GOVERNMENT eminent functions MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR TO THE COMMIS SARY-GENERAL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF THE NORTH. " Citizen Commissary-General,—l cannot accept the resignation yo u t e nder me in your last dispatch. It is indispensable f o r the interests of the Republic that you should r ema i n a t t h e h ea d of the Department of th e in North. You have rendered there enormous services, and the diffi cu l t t i mes we ar e placed you may have ti lun to render others. It', in a ne should belong to the most i devotedobli c, citizens, you are entitled to preserve yours. I know • you to h ave been long faithful to the sentiment of duty, and, as such, A proves verbal was immediately drawn up, and a report made in the presence of all the officers of the legion, who have resolved to resign if the chief of the Montagnards be not punished. The affair has caused a considerable noise in the neighbourhood, and the consequences might have been very serious had the National Guards been less patient or in greater force. The Moniteur contains a great number of decrees regulating affairs in the colonies, which have been changed in consequence of the abolition of slavery. The Moniteur also publishes a decree uniting the banks of Bordeaux and Nantes to the Bank of France. They were not included in the former measure estab lishing the Bank of France as the only bank of issue in the Republic. M. ALBERT has resigned the presidency of the commission of national recompences, and the duties of that office are henceforth to be united to those of the Mayor of Paris. The Illoniteur publishes a series of decrees re organizing the Cour de Comtes. The number of conseillers•maitres is reduced from 18 to 12; the number of conseillers refirendaires of the first class is reduced from 18 to 15, and of the second class from 62 to 55. The mode of appointing to these new offices is alo changed. The President of the Court, M. BARTHE, is dismissed, as well as MM. BARADA, BIGNON, RIVIERE DE LARQUE, PAYEE, and DE LOYNES, wh- held the office of Councillors, and who were members of the ex-Chamber of De puties. M. CHARLES TESTE, the son of the unfor tunate Minister of that name, and several others, are also dismissed. M. SAVEN DE SURGY is appointed President. The following Consuls have been appointed :—M. SENTis, Consul at Valencia ; M. MELAYSIES, Consul at Edinburgh; M. PHILIPPI, Consul at Cadiz; M. TIIYONS, Consul atYassy ; M. A. MESNAULT, Consul- General at Bucharest. The Generals and Admirals who have bean lately removed from active service by the decree of the Provisional Government have addressed a pro test to that body against the course pursued With respect ,_to them. They declare that the law 0. August 4th, 1839, consecrates the principle that such officers have a right to be maintained in their rank, and consequently the late decree is a manifest injustice; they declare also that the said decree is a cruel attack on their patriotic sentiments and honour; they deny the right of the Provisional Government to break the law which protects the army ; and they affirm, in conclusion, that the deci sion of all the questions relating to the military force of France, the principal basis to the national inde pendence, can belong only to a Government defini tively constituted. The accounts received from the disturbed districts are more favourable. Slight disturbances have taken place in several towns, but there have been no addi tional collisions, nor have any more lives been lost. The only place which is still in a state of anarchy is Limoges. The Austrian Ambassador, Count D'Aroriy, left Paris on Tuesday for Vienna; a chargé d'affaires has been left in Paris. AL TRIERS has been brought forward as a candi date for the department of the seine Inferieure, in the event of AI. DE LAMARTINE electing to sit for Paris, as he no doubt will. -a , .

It was said that on the 26th Mr. BULWER had re ceived dispatches from the English Foreign-office, expressing the entire approval by the English Govern ment of Mr. BULWER'S conduct in sending the note of remonstrance and advice to the Spanish Govern ment. Mr. BULWER attended the drawing-room on the 27th. Some disturbances had broken out in Valentia, which had, however been suppressed, and the ring leaders had been arrested. The people of Saragossa complained of being subjected to an imposing mili tary intimidation, whilst the Carlists were roaming about Lower Arragon, levying contributions, and daily increasing their forces.

GERIIIANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, APRIL 27.—The Minister of War pub lishes the following extracts from a report. from the Master of the Ordnance, Count NUGENT, dated Head-quarters, Udine, April 23 : " In pursuance of my report yesterday, I do not fail to make known that, i❑ consequence of a convention which I have concluded and now ratified with the existing Government of Udine, I have this day estab lished my head quarters in Udine, which the corps under my command entered at ten o'clock this day. " The city itself is garrisoned by the Ktngsky regi ment, and the grenadier battalion Biergolsch ; i 4batta lions, 8 squadrons, and 10 batteries encamped on the Cormer. " Li Cividale, which submitted at the first, two com panies of the Warasdine St. George boundary battalions are stationed, which are to juin me to-morrow. " Expresses have been sent off in all directions, es pecially to Ponteba, in order to put a stop to the hos tilities, and to make the roads and bridges passable, and I therefore hope to be able to keep open a perfectly sure communication across Ponteba. In short, the submis sion of Udine appears to act decisively upon the province and of Palma also, which is surrounded by the brigade Prince Schroarzenburg with four battalions of in fantry, one squadron, and four field pieces. Ossoppo would perhaps fall into our hands. "In Udine I find weapons, a considerable quantity of powder and other amunition, and three cannons—three others having been taken off in the night to Ossoppo. To•morrow I shall send the brigade Schulzig, three and two-third battalions, two squadrons and a half battery, to Codriopo, and shall beseige that city. " The further issue of my operations will depend upon the turn of events. " At the same time, one battalion, with one squadron, will proceed to Ossoppo, to blind the tolerably strong garrison of that place, and facilitate our progress in the Hella Valleys. " I have just learnt from a captured courier of the enemy that in the complete carrying out of our disposi tions this morning, simultaneously with our garrisoning Udine, my right main wing column, which proceeded over Tarvis, the enemy was attacked at Punteba such admirable effect, that there also he was obliged to effect a retreat, which was aecellerated by intelligence from hence— Weiner Z6itung, April 27. THE NEW AUSTRIAN CONSTITUTION. We, F, rdinaNd 1., by the grace of G d Emperor of Austria, &c., convinced that political constitutions ought to follow the progress of civilization of Lite people, and always inclined to acknowledge that the people confided to us have not remained behind-hand during a long peace in the way of such progress—we assured to them by our letters patent of the 15th of March, the grant of a constitution. It suffices for the quieting of our heart by the fulfilment of our imperial word, to re spond to the numerous proofs of love and attach ment given to us by our cherished people, by mani festing in a solemn manner our anxiety for their welfare and our efforts for assuring their rights and for according to them in the management of the affairs of the country, a participation which will protect theirin terests. With this consideration, upon the propositions of our council of Ministers, and after a careful examina tion, we have resolved to accord the constitution here under written for the countries therein stated, and we confide it to the joint protection of all people of our empire, with the firm conviction that by the means it will afford, the bonds of confidence between the throne and the people, and the assembly of the state, composing the Monarchy, an assembly which for many ages has existed, will be more closely tied together for the com mon good :—We ordain, then, that all the dispositions contained in this constitution shall be, of right, in violable for all our subjects, without exception, including a ll civil, military, and ecclesiastical authorities, we re serve to ourselves the power of electing immediately the representatives of the provinces, in virtue of a provisional electoral law, and of convoking them in Diet.

Austria has obtained a Liberal Constitution, a constitution modelled upon that inimitable combina tion of interests which was first compacted into a durable Government in England, by a series of re forms spreading over many centuries. One after another the obsolete and bungling systems of legisla tion which have weighed like nightmares on the nations of the Continent are being destroyed—one after another, those nations are adapting to their political and social institutions the great truths of jurisprudence which were origi nally discovered and adopted by ourselves. This is only in accordance with the divine and catholic community of ideas. In philosophy, principles are common to all, to those of mediocre ability as well as to those of abstruse intellect, no matter how tedious may have been the processes by which the founder of the new system may have ap proached the result of his deductions. In astronomy, the same beneficent fact is recognisable ; as was strik ingly illustrated in 1846, by the profound calcula tions of that immortal youth, la hose mind could travel, by the analogy of numbers, to the orbit of an unknown planet; and whose supple knees could band before the throne of a Sovereign unworthy to loose the buckle of the shoes of LE VERRIER. In chemistry, in mechanics, in navigation, in archeology, in all the branches of the tree of knowledge,.ln all the channels which intersect the field of research, the same benign: law is ever in operation—ubiquitous in aspect and omnipotent in principle. In consequence of this ennobling and humanising law, the merest artizan could grapple the idea of a new world so soon as COLUMBUS had returned from his voyage to the Bahamas, the poorest pedlar in Florence could ap preciate the revolutions of the celestial bodies .-o soon as GALLILEO had recognised and recorded the movements of the satellites of Jupiter, the lowliest pedagogue in the meanest hedgeschool in Ireland could corn. prehend the application of the differential calculus so soon as the illustrious competition for its discovery arose between LIEBNITZ and NEWTON. We thank 6oD that such is the generous necessity of a social communion—that thoughts cannot be patented—that a caveat cannot be taken out for a constitution 1 So far from regarding the transference of our poli tical i nst i tut i ons to theforeign seats of Government with any d egree of experienc e other than jealousy,thelsseroistt is p impossible rofoun d gra ti for fi c u a t s i o t n o blessings, from which our po pulation has d er i ve d its • at the diffusi on o f those b happiness, i our comm erce it s prosperity, our con quests t Vhat tho ug h E ng l and itself toiled to the acquisition this constituti on over mou ntains of disaster, and a f leorglory, a n d our na tionality its perm anence . wildernesses of de lay, what though the boon of its present greatnes s e arned by its transit through has bee n vicissitudes of experience — it is a glorious and allthe solatary reflection that the people of Europe con- a re capable of bounding in a single day to the pos session of this rational and majestic constitution, that they are reaping ha rvests from the seeds sown by our British ancestors. Let England rest contented with the prestz;ge of that fame which can never be torn from the pages of liar history, that fame which she has obtained by the patience, the toil, the genius, and the blood of her children, the fame of being the founder of the great system of representative legisla tion, the organizer of a monarchical democracy, the originator of the union of the three powers of the State, the King, the Lords, and the Commons. King doms are involuntarily offering up to her the insence of their imitation, empires are paying her , the h omage o f moc k er y.
