Having settled this point, in my opinion, of little importance, I pass on to another which is of much im portance—namely, tho explanation of the object of Count Mirasol's journey. In the dispatch of the 17th of May, from the Duke of So tomayor, of which I transmitted a copy to your Excellency in my official communication of the Ist of June, and with which your Excellency was already acquainted, it is stated that the Government of her Catholic Majesty, " carrying to such an extent its desire to avoid the possibility of this occurrence (the departure of Sir 11. Bulwer) producing a coolness i❑ the relations of friendship which unite Spain and England, arranged that the respectable Count Mirasol should immediately proceed from this to that Court, with an especial commission to satisfy the British Government as to the conduct of that of her Majesty, and in order to offer to it every sort of assurance with regard to its friendly sentiments, and to desire that now, more than ever, in the midst of the convulsions which afflict Europe, the intimate relations by which the two people are united may be maintained." The mission, which the gentleman entrusted with it would have been able fully to execute as he might have thought proper, might have been considered by her Bri tannic Majesty's Government a sufficient satisfaction or otherwise; but without perverting intentions and words, never, at any possible period, could it be called a pro ceeding disrespectful to the British Crown, since, on the contrary, it was expressly intended by the Spanish Go vernment as an act of consideration and just respect, called for by the circumstances in which it originated. Motives, on which I abstain from passing any judgment, determined your Excellency not to receive the Count Mirasol, without your Excellency being able to know, officially, whether he came with a diplomatic character or' not—a quality, however, which was not rig orous l y ea indispensable for ,the fulfilment of an honoura b le fesa d friendly mission. However that may be, the re fu sa l of the d l of your Excellency, and the approaching departur e Count Mirasol from England, has already to disposed of this question, to which it has been attemp t e d i find m a give undue importance; and your Excellency. will in the prepared to follow out the principal ques tio n ful filment of my duties. No one so much as myself deplores the present state of the relations between the Government of her Catholic Majesty and that of her Britannic Majesty; and I will not allow an opportunity to pass without expressing my desire to bring it to an early and satisfactory termina tion. I have nothing to add now to what I have already written to your Excellency upon this question, except that I am prepared to receive your replies or your reso lutions. If at a later period, if during the sojourn which may hare to make in this capital, my Government sends me communications to transmit to your Excel lency, I shall transmit them; and your Excellency will use your discretion in receiving them or rejecting them, as appears to be indicated in the concluding paragraph of your Excellency's communication of yesterday, the 6th, to which I have replied to-day, the 7th, before the termed fixed in the unusual intimation contained in it.

Before all, and to explain the charge of " discrepancy and retractation" which your Excellency brings against me, I will state the facts as they appear in written documents. On the 25th of May I wrote to your Excellency a letter in the accustomed form, to request an audience, announcing the arrival in London of Lieutenant• General Count Mirasol, charged with a special mission to the Government of her Britannic Majesty, and asking your Excellency to name the day and hour at which I might present him. To this note your Excellency replied in a private letter of the 28th May, " that you would not re ceive him ;" to which I answered in a private note of the 29th, that admitting the resolution of not receiving him, " J'aurais peut-etre a ajouter aux renseignemens con tenus dans ma note (28th May) ceux (lent M. le Comte de Mirasol est le depositaire." Being s u b sequent l y officially asked in your Excellency's communication of the 31st May, if I had anything to add to my note, I replied officially, "as there is not time to learn the course which my Government will adopt in consequence of the refusal of your Excellency to receive the Count, I do not consider myself authorised to mix myself up with the mission with which he is charged." That is to say, the reply given under the conception of its being a pri vate letter, and in another languge than my official one, bore the character of abandon (" abandono"), and the answer which your Excellency made official born the character of reserve proper to the case at issue. Your Excellency will see, then, that the " discrepancy and retractation" of which I am unjustly accused has not originated with me. ST.

There seems to be, at last, some chance of arriving at an accurate knowledge of the circumstances which have conduced to the still further estrangement of the Spanish and Britannic Governments. The supple mentary correspondence which has just been laid be fore Parliament—and some of the most remarkable and interesting passages of which are contained in another portion of this evening's impression of The Sun—explains every detail of the misunderstanding which has recently resulted in the retaliation of Eng • land through the dismissal of Senor XAVIER DE ISTU - RITZ from the Court of Queen VICTORIA. Every one of those details—Yes we undertake to prove that every one of those details, without any exception whatever ; corroborates the opinion already expressed by our selves, namely, that the character of Sir HENRY LYTTON BULWER as a diplomatist remains altogether unimpeached, and that the policy adopted towards the ruling Administration of the Peninsula by her Bri tannic MAJESTY'S present Secretary for Foreign Affairs is a policy calculated in every respect to for ward the interests of England, and to elevate instead of to diminish the reputation of Lord PALMERSTON as a sagacious, daring, and consistent statesman. Resuming the narrative of this singular, and (we cannot but think it) somewhat fortunate misunder standing —a misunderstanding fortunate for the credit of the Russell Cabinet, inasmuch as it pre vents even an apparent complicity between the mem bers of that Cabinet and the colleagues of the inso lent and despotic NARVAEZ—resuming, we say, the narrative of this misunderstanding between the Bri tish and Spanish Governments, at the point which formed the termination of the :Bulwer-Sotomayor correspondence; we take up the thread of occur rences at the time of the dismissal of our Ambas sador from Madrid. The authority, of course, from which our epitome of facts is derived is the Isturitz-Palmerston correspondence which we have already noticed as having been presented to the two Houses of Parliament. Aware of the extravagant and almost unparalleled audacity of its conduct towards the English Govern ment, in giving Sir 11. L. 13uLwER just 48 hours in which to make the necessary arrangements for his de parture—aware that the step taken by the Duc DE SOTOMAYOR, on the 17th of May, was, as Lord PALMERSTON has emphatically remarked, one*" of which modern times furnish .few examples " the Government of General NARVAEZ has tened to exonerate itself from a portion of the blame resulting from that most astonish ing act of Ministerial petulance, by dispatct,ing the Count Mraasor, to the Court of St. James's with all possible expedition, and charged with some more explicit and direct explanations than those which were already contained in the note transmitted to our Ambassador. As was natural under the circum stances, L or d P ALMERSTON refused, for several rea ssoonL,, ttho listen to the commun i ca ti on o f C ount MlRA first, thate inossutch,ornm importantuntio communication should uchreasonhsavbe beeneing— conveyed through the official and accre dited Organ, namely, through the medium of Senor XAV IER D R I S , T , Ue even Z i , f C and t secondly, i\i from the consideration th at had come provided with credentials to her MAJESTY, n IRAS T r' OL as on a special mission from hi s SO VEREIGN, itsu Es rel Q is not immediate l y after the abrupt dismissal o f the y QUEEN'S Minister from the Court of Madrid that her MAJESTY could have been advised to re ceive a fresh envoy from the Queen of SPAIN , unless, indeed, such envoy had been charged a suitable apology on the part of his SOVEREIGN; , Now, subsequent explanations on the part of hi s Excellency Senor ISTURITZ showed plainly enough whether or not Count MIRASOL was the bearer of a suitable apology. So far, indeed, from the instruc tions received by this embodied postscript to the letter of dismissal comprising anything whatever of a con ciliatory or apologetic character, they consisted en tirely (as was acknowledged by the letter written to Viscount PALMERSTON, on the 7th in- stant, by the Spanish Ambassador in Lon don) of a series of reasons for that dismissal, reasons so egregiously flimsy and inconclusive as to enhance the shame of act which had led imme- diately to the estrangement of the two Governments Firstly, the Spanish Cabinet excuses itself for the dismissal by maintaining that Sir H. BULWER was implicated with the party hostile to the ruling states men at Madrid ; and firstly, Lord PALMERSTON rebuts this uncorroborated accusation with the direct contradiction of the British Ambassador, accompany ing his rebuttal with the intimation that, suppos ing it were incumbent upon a foreign Minister at a Court to confine his social intercourse to whatsoever party might happen for the moment to be in power, such a course could have been scarcel♦ possible on the part of Sir H. L. BuLwzß, seeing that between December, 1832, and October, 1847, the office of President of the Co uncil at Madrid had changed hands twenty-nine tim es, and had been held in succession by twenty-seven different personages ; and seeing, moreover, that between October, 1832, and October, 1847, the office of Minister for Foreign Affairs had changed hands thirty-seven times, and had been held successively by no less than thirty-two different diplomatists ! Secondly, the Spanish Government stated that during the insurrection of the 26th of March, the house of the British Legation had been the asylum and the rally ing point of the conTirators ; and secondly, Lord PALMERSTON counter-stated that the official residence of Sir H. BULWER had not been the rallying point of revolt, and that as to its having afforded shelter to the unfortunate, that was a practice of universal and continual recurrence, and one which had hitherto received the acquiescence of every Government, not excepting the Government of her Most Catholic MAJESTY. In addition to this, the British Minister reminded Senor ISTURITZ of the circumstances of his having himself in 1836 obtained shelter at the British Legation, Lord CLARENDON, then Mr. VIL LIERS, being at the time ambassador ; of SALAMANCA, o f ZARCO DEL VpAaLsnLiimEsh,ilaarGndopyroeofrtneScmotieTonontmaAstYuotbhßseelphuiamennsitesilh: obtaining LegL eg t n th l e B4 S 3 ' commemorating the fact by conferring upon the Danish Charge Affaires the distinguished title of the Baron del Asilo. Thirdly, the Spanish Govern ment proclaimed the culpability of Sir 11. BULWER in having formed an intimate friendship with the family of an officer engaged in the revolt at Seville ; and thirdly, Lord PALMERSTON asserted that the assumption of any power over the friendships formed by an Ambassador at any Court in Christendom, by the Ministers of that Court, was one of the most odious of the many odious pre tensions of tyranny. Fourthly, the Spanish Govern ment insisted that the mission of Colonel FITCH was fur the purpose of promoting insurrection ; and, fourthly, Lord PALMERSTON insisted, on the contrary, that that mission had reference simply and solely to the protection of the British interests in the southern ports of the Peninsula. Fifthly, the Spanish Go vernment argues that because Mr. SANsost (the Di rector of the Union Bank of Madrid) was an intimate friend of Sir H. BULWER, and had been known to speak disparagingly of NARVAEZ and his coadjutors, therefore his Excellency was favoured with the re quisite passports ; and, fifthly, Lord PALMERSTON laughs that argument to scorn, as preposterously un proven and insufficient. Sixthly, it is declared by the Spanish Government that the final reason for the dismissal of Sir H. BULWER originated in an anxiety for his personal safety from assassination ; and sixth/y, Lord PALMERSTON destroys this monstrous effort at extenuation by vindicating the citizens of Madrid from this unjustifiable calumny. From the failure of these specious excuses has arisen the last act in the drama of Spanish dissensions—we mean the sudden dismissal of his Excellency Senor XAVIER DR ISTURITZ. How far this denouement must ultimately tend to advance the interests, not only of Great Britain, but likewise of the Spanish and Portuguese penin sula, will be clearly and readily explained hereafter. The important motion, of which the veteran JOSEPH HUME, the consistent, energetic, and uncom promising Reformer of nearly 40 years, has given notice, will at length, we trust, receive that full dis cussion, that calm and attentive consideration which its vast importance so fully merits, and to which the anxious wishes of the vast majority of the industrial classes throughout the entire country in its favour so eminently entitle it. Although in common with the great body of Reformers we regretted that a question of such general interest should, under any circum stances, have been postponed to so late a period of the session, we felt that the Honourable Member for Montrose was fully justified in refusing to bring the subject forward at a late hour in the evening, when the House was wearied from its preceding labours, and whe❑ it would have been impossible to bring forward in detail the various facts bearing strongly upon the point, and incontrovertibly esta blishing the justice and propriety of the contemplated measures. If any doubt could then have existed as to the sagacity of the Hon. Member in pursuing such a course it would be completely removed by the magnificent demonstrations which have taken place in so many districts, and which must have already removed the delusion under which the Premier laboured on the 23d of May last, when he asserted that the middle and working classes of the country desired neither one great reform or the other—that they were anxious neither for the people's Charter nor for the great plan of reform, which came near the Charter, proposed by the Hon. Member for Mon trose." In the interval the popular voice has been expressed, temperately but fairly, and whatever difference may now exist as to the expediency of an immediate alteration of the law, there cannot be the slightest doubt that the people are not satisfied with the present state of affairs ; that with Mr. HUME they declare " that the House of Commons as at present constituted does not fairly represent the po pulation, the property, or the industry of the coun try, whence has arisen great and increasing discon tent in the minds of a large proportion of the people." The constitutional theory is " that there should be no taxation without representation ;" in other words, " that every person who, in any degree, contributes to the national income, should have a voice, by him self or his representative, in the national ex penditure, and also in the mode by which the Exchequer may be replenished." This is the just and equitable theory, but what is the practice ? Under the present system of indirect taxation every individual who is not a pauper obtaining parochial assistance, is compelled to apply a considerable portion of his earnings in pay. Inept of the imposts levied upon articles of the firs necessity in daily consumption in his family. If, therefore, such a person, in accordance with the prin ciple to which we have referred, might justly claim the elective franchise a fortiori, every householder, who not only contributes directly to the national exi- gencies, but is also rated for the relief of his more impoverished and destitute brethren, in respect of the tenement which he occupies, should possess a similar privilege. How many householders, however, throughout the entire country are left unrepresented, ex uno disce omnes. A petition which appears in another part of our im- pression this day, and of the accuracy of which we are assured on the most unquestionable authority, sets forth, " that there are in the torn of Thorne and Thorne Quay 570 householders rated to the relief a the poor, and that there are only 87 of such house holders qualified by law to vote for Members of Parliament, leaving above five-sixths of such house• holders totally unrepresented in the Commons House of Parliament," and "that among such unrepresented householders there are three ministers of the Gospel, five schoolmasters, and four attorneys-at-law, and that among the 87 electors there is neither an attor- ney-at-law, a minister, nor a schoolmaster, except the clergyman of the Established Church." If, then, Thorne affords a fair example of the state of other towns throughout the entire kingdom, is it strange that a general feeling of indignation should prevail at the system by which so many persons are de frauded of their rights, and prevented from exercising that control in the government of the country which iY the privilege of a free-born man unstained by crime ? SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 11th, 12th, and litth have been received. On the lath her MAJESTY gave a grand banquet to her Ministers. The Queen-Mother, the Duke of RIANZARES, and the Duke DE LA RocA. T SAN CAR LOS, and others were present. The KING was absent on account of indisposition. It is said a military pronunciament o , h ea d ed by General CONCHA, was about to tak e p l ace against the ar bitrary rule of the Narvaez Ministry, w h o are tot tering to their fall. The report of the debate in the British House of Commons had arrived in Madrid, and would, it was supposed, prove fatal to them. The return of MIaASOL, and the publication of Lord PALMERSTON'S dispatch dismissing ISTURITZ, will no doubt, therefore, give them their coup de grace. It was expected that a very important measure would be published in a few days by the Minister of the Finance, which would tend to the amelioration of the financial state of the country. Some further arrests have taken place, and which have caused a very unfavourable impression in the public mind. The Bolsa was closed during the Whitsuntide holi days. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. All was quiet in Paris, and the aff.tir of Prince Louis NAPOLEON appears to have been entirely for gotten by all parties. It was a b a d game badly played by all parties, and Prince Louis NAPOLEON has, at the eleventh hour, acted wisely in withdrawing himself and not suffering the great name he bears to be prostituted to the anti-social purposes of communists and reactiennaires. In the provinces, however, there had been serious disturbances produced by the intri gues of the parti-pretre and the reactionnaires. The weekly statement of the affairs of the Bank of France, which ought ) have appeared in the Mani teur of Friday, appears in the 2 1 /oniteur of Saturday. From these returns it appears that the metallic re serve in the Paris establishment has increased 5 mil • lions, and in the branch banks 3 millions. The amt.unt of bills becoming due in Paris continues to decline, being at present 117 millions, or 1 9 i millions less than last week ; in the branch banks the amount is 141 millions, or 8 millions less. The overdue bills amount to nearly 9 millions, tr 1k more than when the preceding returns were published. The protested bills amount in Paris to nearly 30 m illi ons, and in the branch banks to 1 lit millions, being together about one million less than last week. The amount of notes in circulation at Paris is 280 millions, or 5 mil lions less than last week, and in the branch banks 783- millions, or 7 millions less. The account current of the Treasury is set down at 17 millions, being a diminution of 2 millions. The metallic reserve now amounts to 146 against 359 millions of notes in cir culation. In the sitting on Friday the Minister of the In terior introduced a Bill for the purpose of granting a credit of 300,090 francs for a revision of the list of the National guards liable to be called into active service in France, according to the laws of 1831 and 1832 ; also to authorise the calling out of twenty men out of 100, when unmarried and from twenty to twenty-five years of age, with the understanding that they were at present to remain at home. This Bill adds at once 100,000 men to the French army, and the object of this addition is not concealed by the Minister of the Republic : " The first en d," h e says, " w hi c h t h e Government i has n view is to lighten by 100,000 men the expenses of the war department. France, in fact, insured in a per manent and seriously military reserve, will be able, without danger, to reduce the effective of her army to that extent, and to send back her young soldiers, after they have been completely instructed, to their friends. A pacific thought and economy is the first character of the measure which we propose to you; but, nevertheless, France has another object which ought to fix your at tention. The Executive Commission preserves the firm hope . of m a i n t a i n i ng peace. France cannot at the same tune assist, without watching, at changes made in other territories. She cannot tolerate that any increase in the power of her neighbours should weaken her own power, without a compensation to herself. Such are, citizens, the general motives which have inspired the project of de cree submitted for your deliberation. It remains for us to justify the amount of allowance demanded." The meaning of the ominous passage given in italics is generally supposed to be that the consent of France to the incorporation of Lombardy with Piedmont, can only be purchased by the cession of Savoy, Nice, and perhaps Genoa, to the French Republic. The Coratitsdionnel of Sunday thus comments on this important document : " Among tho motives given by the Government for this measure we find the following:—' The Executive Committee retains the firm hope of the maintenance of peace. Nevertheless France cannot witness changes in territorial limits without acting with foresight. She cannot tolerate that a neighbouring state should increase its power without her deriving any compensation for it, and by which act her own power becomes weakened.' It is probable that when this decree shall be examined in the bureaux, the Government will be called on to give complete explanations on the subject of this declaration. Italy at this moment reconquers f rom Austria, by a victorious revolution, her independence and her na tionality. In order the better to concentrate her forces, and to be able to oppose an impregnable barrier to any oppression which may come from the north, and from the east, a vast state of Upper Italy is being formed by the free and voluntary union of the people of Lombardy, Venice, Parma, Placentia, and Modena, with Piedmo n t, whose valiant army protects them. This union is being ' realised, not by the will of any particular parties, but by the spontaneous vote of the people themselves. A feeble majority opposes this act of good sense of Italy. At the same time the struggle continues, Verona and Mantua are still in the h an d s o f t h e Austr i ans, and a e reason move. There part of the Venetian provi nces i s covered by their troops. that of the grounding Republic, which has a pow er f u l i nterest in the formation a first The Russian armies, the r ear guard of Austria, cum eeleitre is is said, t h o be ea on oh the for ofag appeal t eal state in made Ntoortthheernwarlike population of Franc e Italy, surpriseinstead on an eventual necessity of giving prompt assistance to the cause of Italian liberty, should on the contrary make use of a language almost hostile to it, and speak of a conquest to be made before speaking of a service to be rendered. "In order to form a just opini on o f t h e whole pro posed policy of the Executive Committee with regard to Italy, we shall wait for the explanations which will be given in the bureaux. But wh i l e t h e Neapolitan Go vernment is exercising on its own subjects, and contrary to the cause of liberty, such unjustifiable acts of vio lence, and the Piedmontese Government, on the contrary is combating with so much courage and success for the cause of revolution and liberty, is it not strange that the first threatening words of our Government should be addressed, not to the power which comm an d s at N ap l es, but to that which fights in Lombardy?" Serious troubles have broken out in the department of La Creuse, at Gueret, in consequence of the at tempts made to enforce the collection of the 45 per cent. additional impost laid on by the Provisional Government. In the sitting of the Assembly on Sa turday, the Minister of Finance gave an account of this outbreak. He said that while the mayors and local authorities were engaged in inquiries as to the means of lightening the burden imposed by this tax, those persons who arrogate to themselves the title of exclusive protectors of the poor interfered to prevent the execution of their good intentions. What did they do ? They converted a tree of liberty into a gallows, with a rope prepared, while the tri-colour was displaced by a black flag, and they declared that any citizen who paid the tax should be hung. A crowd of country people flocked to the town of Gueret, and while an excited discussion was going on between them and the National Guards, two shots were fired, and a National Guard and a Pompier were wounded. The National Guard immediately returned the fire, and ten were killed and five wounded. Such is the official account from the Minister of Finance. M. FATOLLE, the representative of La Creuse, and Commander of the National Guard, gave an expla nation of the occurrences that had taken place, vary ing little from the Finance Minister, but ending o somewhat more doubtfully. He said the department La Creuse wa s very poor, and property was ex trently divided. Nearly all the little proprietors were obliged to work as Ea 280115, their chief trade, and they used to come to Paris in the building season ; but. on account of the suspension of employment they have been refused passports, and they cannot pay the additional tax of 45 per cent. The people are in the greatest misery. The collision that had taken place was brought about by the arrest of a man who had posted a placard on th e c hapel door, threatening death to whoever would pay the 45 additional centimes. At his arrest being effected, the tocsin was sounded in the neighbouring vii lag( ges and the peasantry incited to revolt Seven hundred men marched on Gueret to deliver the prisoner. Then it was that the National Guards were called out. At first there was hope of bringing about a reconciliation, but towards evening the ex asperation of the country people became frightful-- the Bens d'armes endeavoured to disperse the crowd as quietly as possible, when from the latter were fired three shots, and the National Guards returned the fire. The crowd immediately dispersed, and the National Guards returned t ) Gueret. M. FATOLLE, having thus stated the facts, proceeded as follows : " All is not over. I must tell you that, before you accuse the National Guard, you have yet to learn whether the eineute has not by this time been re newed, and revenge been taken. All that we do know is that the insurrection is spreading, and that the tocsin is sounding." Several voices—" You must not say that." M. FATOLLE—" If I am to credit a correspondence, efforts are making to raise the country people, and to march them on Gueret." Several voices•.«isi o , They will not succeed." , M. FAYOLLE—" I hope and desire not." In the course of the discnssion it came out that this tax of 45 per cent. had been an election cry in the remote provinces, and that many members owed their seats to the pledges they had given to insist on its repeal. The peasantry of the south and east of France have ever been the most ignorant and the most under the rule of the priests of any portion of the population. As an instance, we may mention the manner in which they came forward at Toulouse and endeavoured by force and by fraud, by perjury and by violence, to rescue the infamous Frere LEOTADE from the punishment due to his crimes, and it is precisely in those departments that these disturbances are occurring. At Nisrnes, where in 1815, the Catholic population rose and made a general massacre of Protestants and Liberals, a collision has taken place i❑ which three persons have been killed and several have been wounded, and according to the latest account a Legitimist out break had taken place at Perpignan, where the coun try people arrived en masse, demanding permission to pillage, with the assurance, however, that no outrage on persons shall be committed. The authorities have communicated this state of things to the Government by telegraph, and the town has been declared in a state of siege. At Toulouse a religious riot took place on Sunday, when the authorities were compelled to call in mili tary assistance to disperse a religious procession which had assumed a riotous character. Some of the National Guards of the place, who belong to the parti-pretre, and who were in the procession, actually took part against their comrades. Owing, however, to the courage and energy of the enlightened portion of the population, order was restored, and the au thorities have interdicted those religious processions for the future. A letter from Foix, of the 12th, says— " A collision has just taken place between some troops of the line and the gendarmerie of the canton of Ta rascon, and the inhabitants of the commune of Rabat. Since the revolution of February the inhabitants of that commune have never ceased to commit depredations in the forests belonging to a M. Bengasse, and to such an extent have these people carried their audacity that about 40 furnaces have been erected for the purpose of burning charcoal at the expense of that gentleman. A warrant had at length been taken out against them, but the gendarmerie hesitated to execute it without the assist ance of some troops of the line. The arrests were then made without much difficulty ; but at the moment when the prisoners were being taken off, the armed force were assailed with such violence that they were obliged to fire on the people in their own defence. Two or three of the rioters were severely wounded, but the prisoners were taken in safety to the prison at Foix." A letter from Toul of the 15th, in the Impartial de la Ilfeurthe, says— " Eleve n individuals who had been arrested for some recent riots at Toul have been removed to Nancy, but to effect this removal it was necessary to employ a large armed force, as threats of their being rescued had been used. A large crowd of people, however, had assem bled with the intention of supporting the military in case of any attempt of the kind being made." Lyons appears to be still in a state far from tran quil. The Salut Public of the 15th, says— " The night before last, at the Guillotiers, some riot ous persons sought to get hold of some police agents, but thanks to the vigorous measures adopted by the municipal authorities their designs were frustrated. Fire of the guilty parties have been already arrested, and it is hoped that with the co-operation of all good citizens order and tranquillity, so necessary to the pros perity of the Republic, will soon be re-established." Within the last few days deplorable disturbances have broken out in some communes of the Ardennes, owing to the hostility of the peasants to the removal of grain to Belgium. The most serious resistance was made at Fond-de-Givonnee, where a barricade was erected near the bridge ; and the National Guard of Sedan, the troops of the garrison, and some bri gades of gendarmerie, had all to be employed to de • strop it. From twelve to fifteen citizens were wounded in the struggle, but eventually the perturba tors were put down, and four or five of them were captured. A manufacturer of Sedan subsequently purchased the grain, in order to give it to the poor. The Committee of Finance, after hearing the argu ments of MM. TRIERS, LOUVET, DAVID, and LA-. CROIX, have decided, by a large majority, against the Bill on mortgage credits. This decision has been communicated to the sub committee on legislation, which has been also charged to examine the measure. In the same committee a discussion took place on the project of the State dispossessing all the Fire In surance Companies. The Committee are understood to be unfavourable to the measure. The Committee on Foreign Affairs has been occu pied of late in several sittings with petitions relative to the affairs of the Libanus. The whole of the affairs of the East were fully discussed on this occa sion. After having heard the explanations of M. J. BASTIDE, it was decided to send the whole of the pe titions to the Executive Committee. M. SARRANS, the President of the sub-Committee on Foreign Affairs, was charged to draw up the report, which is now ready. The representatives examined, on Friday, in the bureaux the Bill demanding a new credit of 3,000,000 f. for the national workshops. The general idea was that these establishments ought to be dis solved within the shortest possible delay. M. GOUD cuAui gave some curious details in his bureau. He declared in a formal manner that, from the moment the propagation of Louis BLANC'S ideas had been esta blished at the Luxembourg, he had determined to quit the Finance Department, which had been confided to him by the Provisional Government; he foresaw at once, he said, that the system of M. Louis BLANC would be the ruin of the finances. M. CREIZIEUX, in his bureau, insisted on the peril of the present situa tion ; he attributed the continuation of the establish ments, for which the Bill demanded money, in part to the bad organization :of the present executive power, and declared that there was neither unity nor agreement between the Ministers, amongst them selves, nor amongst the members of the Executive Committee.—M. DE FALLOUT brought forward docu ments and figures with a view to prove that it was the workmen that were to be defended against the Ad ministration, and not the Administration against them.—M. ETIENNE observed, that when the pre ceding grant of 3,000,000 f. was demanded, the Minister of Public Works had pledged himself, in the most solemn manner, to dissolve almost imme diately the establishments complained of, and still up to the present time nothing had been done.—Baron C. DUNN designated these establishments as the cradle of idleness, where two milliards would be eaten up every year, including the workyards throughout France ; already, he said, the ill effects of the state supporting a large body of workmen was fatally apparent—business was at a stop.—M. DEGOUSEE expressed his astonish ment that the number of workmen had not been di minished ; not less than 22,000 liberated convicts were still working there, whilst a law existed for bidding such men to set foot in Paris. 21. Mowzl- MER-TERNAUX also condemned the principle of the State wasting such immense sums on unfruitful labour ; and then, referring to the position of the city of Paris, he showed that the capital was by no means in a flourishing situation ; its money in hand had fallen off since Feb. 24, from twenty-two millions to betwixt six and seven. A great number of repre sentatives, after speaking strongly against the na tional workshops, agreed in thinking that the Go vernment ought to be called on peremptorily to de clare what they intended doing in the matter; they also were of opinion that full explanations ought to he insisted on respecting the affair of M. E. TuoaliAs. Ihe Committee on the Colonies has considered the question of the abolition of slavery, and has deter mined that, as the Minister of Marine, contrary to the promises formally given, has as yet done nothing to insure the regulation of the indemnity due to the colonists in consequence of that measure, it would itself assume the initiative, and present a Bill on the subject. The Committee on the Constitution have finished their labours, and M. AIARRAST will this day present to the National Assembly the project for the new Constitution of the French Republic. The following is the draft of the material points of this important document : CONSTITUTION OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. RIGHTS OF MAN. In the presence of GOD, and in the name of the French people, the National Assembly proclaims and decrees the following : Art. 1. The duties of man in society are summed up in respect for the constitution, in obedience to the laws, in the defence of the country, in the accomplishment of liis family duties, and in the praotice of that fraternal maxim :—" As ye would that men should do to you, do ye to them likewise," Art. 2.

Boulogne and Amiens, 6—Luxembourg, I—Northern of France, VA—Paris and Lyons, 27/4. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. VIENNA.—The Wiener Zeitung, of the 14th, con tains no further intelligence from Prague respecting the recent events there. The Ministry have sent a high civil and military commissioner to Prague, by a special train, in order to make inquiries into the origin of the riot, and to endeavour, by suitable measures, to quiet the exasperated state of things which prevails there. We have since ascertained, from our own correspondent, that no official intelligence had been received at Vienna from Prague, in consequence of the telegraphic communication having been inter rupted since the 13th, and the noon train not having arrived. RETURN OF THE EMPEROR. The Allgemeine Zeitung, of the 13th inst., says— " With regard to the return of the EMPEROR to Vienna I am able to inform you, on the best autho rity, that he will depart from Inspruck on the 18th or 20th, will take the route by Lintz, whither he will proce€d by steamer to Persenburg or, Vienna, and remain there till the 25th. On the evening of the same day he will arrive at Schonbrunn, and on the 26th open the Diet. "There was a most tremendous hailstorm here the day before yesterday. The hailstones were as large as pigeon's eggs. Considerable damage was caused and thousands of pains of glass were smashed to pieces." INSPRUCK, JUNE H.—Count STADION, whose arrival has been expected here (luring the last two days with the greatest impatience, arrived to-day, but his summons by an autograph letter from his MA JESTY has not had the desired result. Count STA DION, after closely investigating the state of affairs in Vienna, appears to have arrived at the decided resolution to decline the formation of a new Ministry, and in his first conference with the EhIVEROB, this morning, he stated his resolutions clearly and unre servedly. Times are past when an officer must be accepted by a Sovereign's command, and when an Emperor may be permitted to say, " Because you do not understand anything of finance, I will appoint you the President of Finance." In days like these it is indispensable to have the prospect of acting perm anentl y , which will not be the case with any new Ministers. Mis trust prevails respecting all the Cabinet departments, and Count STADION does not bring popularity with him from Galicia. He is accused justly or un justly, it matters not which, of being inclined to favour the endeavours of the aristocracy. It de cidedly balconies more evident that there is but one man who, at this eventful time, possesses the requi site public confidence and the indispensable know ledge of business, and for taking the lead in the State and opening the Diet, and that is TILLERS- . z urr . pamseposzr, therefore, remains in office, I i and STADION returns to Lemburg, unless some unexpected change should be made this even ing. It has been at the same time resolved that the Court s hall quit Inspruck either this week or at the commencement of the next, make a short stay at Saltsburg, Yschel, Linte, and Persenburg, and arrive at Vienna just before the opening of the Diet. May it never he forgotten, that in Vienna alone—a centralization—a Government is possible. The true hearted - Tyrolese mountaineers have nobly and cheerfully exerted themselves to testily their love to their SOVEREIGN, but the Tyrol is not Austria. The presumption, the arrogance, nay, the audacity of the students may be condemned, and punished by other measures—mollilications, flight, and p' crastination ; and since the return of the Court to Vienna ought to take place, som e bounds should be put to the so-called Ca' manilla by granting them furlough, for otherwise there will be not only a renewal of the late events, hut probably yet snore serious demonstrations and unquestionably increased want of confidence. Speaking of the discomfitures sustained by the noble Austrian army in Italy and Lombardy, th e HeidelbuT Deutsche Zeitung says, the valiant Aus trian army sustained the first and actual discomfiture in Vienna itself; by the combined students and Work men, and in Inspruck by the fugitive Empero r ' Austria, that great and noble empire, is going to t he ground.—Allgemeine Zeitung, June 14th. PRUSSIA. RIOTS IN BERLIN. Serious riots, attended with loss of life, i n consequence of a collision between the militarf and the people, took place at Berlin on the 14th. The gates of the Royal Palace are ordinarily open for the admission of the people. On the 14th, b°!: ever, they were closed, and the people cornmenT an attack on them, which was resisted by the mil' . tary. The correspondent of the Cologne Gaze tte gives the following account of the imeute : " We have again had a day of disturbance and tumult. Great precautions had been taken for ensuring the safety of the Constituent Aisembly, in which adelo te on that very subject was being very hotly carried OA Yesterday pla car d s h a d b een posted in the town, signe " by the President of the Police, prohibiting the sasslaci bling of people i n groups i n the Castanienwald, 013 apparently in o r d er t o g i ve force to the prohibition, our battalions of the civic guard were posted at an early he ti in the morning on that spat, as well as in all the th °- roughfares leading from the Sing Academie.

It was then that one 'Muller, ° he led the people, proposed that all the bars round,f,,, Palace should be removed; and as they were procee° l 7, to do so they passed before the Arsenal, where it suggested that arms should be obtained.
