Radical Reformers---ourselves amongst the number —are heart and soul with the moderate,Republicans of France, and with the revolutionists of Prussia, Austria, Italy, and the Germanic States. Yet we are not less heart and soul with the conservators of order and tranquillity in England. How is this? Are we not inconsistent in regarding the perturbators abroad with enthusiasm, and in viewing the agitators at home with suspicion and abhorrence ? Was there not an extravagant contradiction in the exultation with which we welcomed the great outburst of the Parisians on the 23d of February, and, subsequently, on the 10th of April, hailed with the most cordial devotion the union of all classes of our fellow.citizens in the maintenance of the peace of the metropolis? No. There was in all this no in consistency whatever, no contradiction, no dereliction of duty, or abandonment of principle. Our assertion, perhaps, requires explanati on , and that explanation we will at once give with the simplicity of truth and the correctness of conviction, Because we rejoice in the revolutionary movements of the various people of the European Continent, it does not, therefore, fullo w, as a necessary consequence, that we should look with complacency upon the brawling demagogues who endeavour to excite the labouring classes of Great Britain and Ireland to sedition. And for this reason : the political situation of England is essentially different from that of the continent. In England, the ocostitdiJnal liberties of the nation have been gradually ‘velde'l by reform into a shape consistent with the necessities of the age. On the continent it was otherwise : there the social wants of the nineteenth century were met by arbitrary decrees, which in their very essence brought to mind the deplorable days of feudality, the days of the villein, and the baron, of the serf, of the bond man, of the condottieri, and of the lord paramount —a king whose word was the fiat of the law, whose whim was death, and whose authority was that of an irresponsible dictator. Are we exaggerating the miseries of the European races, such as they were before the commencement of the great struggle which is not yet completed? Italy is our answer; and Austria; and Bavaria ; and the German princi palities; and even the Liberal and Protestant Prus sia! If these countries were not governed until lately by the variable will of a despot, they were most certainly trampled under the heels of an iron oli garchy. Government by representation they knew only by hearsay ; travellers babbled to them of Par liaments sitting in Westminster, but as far as expe• rience was concerned, representative government was to themselves no better than the religion of a dancing dervish—bootless, eccentric, and visionary. Trial by jury was unknown among their judicial institutions; the right of petitioning was unrecog nized ; differences of creed were illegal, inas much as particular forms of worship were prohibited ; freedom of speech was a thing not only unknown but inconceivable, and the liberty of the press was effectually prevented by the establishment of a rigid censorship. All these boons, denied until very recently to the nations before enumerated, had been for some centuries numbered among the social and political institutions of Eng gland— they were the planks, the stone s, the found a dons, the buttresses, the arches, the pillars, the para. pets, the architraves, and the domes, which, accumu lated one by one, from generation t o generation, and from century to century, had been built up into that substantial !and glorious edifice known throughout the two hemispheres as the British Constitution. Diametrically opposite, however, as were the nations of continental Europe and the people of England when contrasted with each other, the wants, the necessities, and the aspirations of the age were the same with both. In both mi g ht b e trace d t h e g i ant s trides of civilization ; in both might be discerned the progress made in the diffusion and development of knowledge; both possessed the printing press and the steam•engme; both were intersected by railways ; both had readers and thinkers out of number—men who saw the lights of intelligence and the glory of freedom, but under very different circum stances. England saw a ll th ese thi ngs , and enjoyed them without restriction. Europe saw them too, but was without the capacity of enjoying or using them. It was quite impossible, therefore, that matters could remain much longer in this state ; the millions of the continent must rise by an inevitable necessity. It was their doom ; and they did rise ! They rose almost together like one man, and the earth resounded with the movement. It was the old story of the giant waking from slumber, and shaking off his shackles, as GULLIVER shook off the manacles of the Lilliputians. Eighteen hundred and forty-seven closed, and they were still in bondage. Eighteen hundred and forty eight dawned, and they were free. Prussia obtained freedom of the press. Austria acquired a national guard. Bohemia proclaimed its independence. Hungary yearned for its emancipation. Poland, in Galicia, in Lithuania, and, above all, !in the Duchy of Posen, palpitated with the hope of regaining once more the crown and the rank of which it had been robbed. Denmark suddenly found itself invested with rights, of which it had hitherto had but a feeble conception. Sicily refused obedience to the tyrant, who so soon afterwards be trayed an atrocity of disposition unparalleled even in the histories of BORGIA and Tißealus. The forty States of the Germanic Confederation sent their re presentatives to the united Parliament, convoked within the walls of Frankfort-on-the-Maine. And, conspicuous among all, Italy, so long subjugated by adventurers, and ravaged by intestine contentions, stood forth suddenly in all the splendour of its ancient independence, and drew the sword of libera. don against the soldiers of the German C.IRSAR. It was because we hare beheld this wonderful and almost miraculous resurrection of the liberties of the continent that we have regarded the late movement with enthusiasm. We felt that without the aid of revolution the Europeans could not by possibility have so soon conquered the difficulties of their situation. France has the glory of having given the signal and the impetus to this movement. England has the glory, through its Constitution, of having afforded the revolutionists a model for their political institutions. That is why e have rejoiced at the struggle abroad ; and the reason for our equally earnest opposition to agitators at home is discoverable in our reliance on moral force, in our love for progressive reform, and in our devotion to that seine Constitution which is the palla , ilium of British Liberty. Full and adequate protection should at all times be accorded to the police force in the discharge of their onerous duties. Every person guilty of a wanton and unprovoked assault, or even of an undue inter ference, by which they may be impeded in enforcing the preservation of the public peace, should be ri gorously punished ; but it is at least as important that the body should be taught that they cannot be per mitted to abuse the extensive powers committed to their hands, that they must upon every occasion ex hibit discretion and forbearance, and that they must be particularly guarded, in the statements they make before magistrates, not to give exaggerated or untrue accounts of what may have taken place, oy which the Bench may be deceived, and deep injustice perpetrated under the guise of law. Magistrates are notoriously too much inclined to yield implicit credence to such statements, and in every case of doubt to give the benefit thereof to the constable. There cannot well be a more thankless office than that of a person who comes forward as a complainant against one of the privileged parties. His acts and his motives are scrutinized with the utmost severity, and if the slightest loophole can be discovered he is dismissed, not only without redress, but the magisterial censure is inflicted without the slightest compunction, and in a manner that may prove exceedingly injurious to his future prospects. Too often some sympathising brother of the force, hoping for a similar return, will fling the mantle of his protection over the delinquent, and give such a garbled and prejudiced version of the transaction as to e xonerate the def en d an t, an d perhaps recriminate oa his accuser. When such cas es , th ere f ore , are brough t f orward and cl ear l y esta bli s h e d , i t is of the utmost importance that the guilty party should be taught that the magnitude of his offence is greatly enhanced by the responsibility of his position, and venial P that what would be comparatively serious crime in a paid in a o private ' individual becomes . a for the preservation of t h e Peace, and every party person coming forward to denounce victimtle offender,brutality, t i a n i t i e t y r • fering between him and the should receive the thanks of the eonlniunity. A case was heard at Bow - street on M onday last, in which, if the published report be cor rect, the re siding magistrate appears to have strangel y reversed the principle on which he should have decided. Mr. C. THORPE, a clerk in a Chancery office, was charged with assaulting a police-constable (E 57) in the exe. cution of his duty. The complainant stated that he was clearing a mob caused by a drunken woman in New Oxford-street, when the defendant came upon him suddenly and pushed or struck him in the breast, alleging that he had shamefully ill-used a boy in the street, which he denied. This was the head and front of the offence—there was no great violence used. The constable did not venture to speak positively as to the character of the assault. He was either pushed or struck, and he certainly could not have been much hurt thereby, or he would have more feelingly de tailed the particulars. The defendant at the same time declared the reason why he had acted in this manner. He alleged that the complainant had shame fully ill-used a boy, and had acted with such gross bru tality towards an inoffensive child that he was unable to restrain himself—that the boy was standing quietly by the side of the pavement, doing nothing, and causing no obstruction, when the policeman, to his surprise and disgust, ran up, and kicked the boy in so cowardly and ferocious a manner that he was thrown upon the pavement with great violence, and almost covered with blood from the injuries he sustained. He (the de fendant) had no other intention at the time than to ascertain the name and number of the policeman, for the information of the boy's parents." The unfortu nate child, the subject of this outrage, who appeared to be about twelve years of age, was produced in court, and was dreadfully cut about the face and arms, and Mr. THORPE was also so fortunate as to procure the attendance of several respectable bystanders who witnessed the occurrence, and who fully corroborated his statement as to the ill treatment of the child, and who also solved the com plainant's doubts as to the nature of the assault, by proving that the defendant had not struck him, but merely pushed him. This evidence was so conclusive that, although as usual, another policeman came forward for the honour of the force, and de clared that the child had fallen by accident, and that he had not been kicked, his Worship declared himself "bound to believe from the evidence of the witnesses, that the policeman's conduct to the child had been abominable." What, then, was the result when the tables were so completely turned, when the com plainant was proved to the satisfaction of the Bench to have been the real delinquent, who had grossly abused his powers, and also to have rendered a most exagger ated and unfaithful account of the transaction ? Was. Mr. THORPE dismissed from the bar with the ap probation which his courageous and manly inter ference on behalf of the aggrieved child deserved, and was the assailant sentenced to the highest punishment within the jurisdiction of the Bench? Far from it. Mr. THORPE was told, after a hint, that but for the circumstances which might have provoked him to resent such conduct on the part of the officer, he should certainly have been committed to prison without the option of paying a fine ; " that his interference in the way admitted by himself and his witnesses was not justifiable, and must not pass unnoticed." He was then fined 1/, The constable who had acted in this atrocious manner was thus addressed. He was asked what compensation he was prepared to make the poor boy "for the injuries /as had evidently suffered from his violence." The liberal offer of one shilling was the response, but his Worship, on this oc casion, would not arm himself with the magisterial terrors. He was now the friendly mediator, anxious to bring about an amicable arrangement, that he might not be called upon to adjudicate thereon. He recommended " that seven shillings" should be given, which was finally acceded to, after several ineffectual attempts to reduce the amount. The conclusion to be drawn from this sapient judgment is, that the police are so sacred that any interference, even for the purpose of preventing the most illegal and im proper conduct, must be most stringently punished ; while a!policeman, who has grossly maltreated innocent parties, and subsequently preferred greatly exaggerated charges, may escape on ;payment of a few shillings, a most trifling and inadequate compensation for the injuries he has inflicted to the victim of his brutality. We trust that Mr. THORPE may not be suffered to remain a pecuniary sufferer by the transaction ; that the sum of which he has been mulcted may be re stored to him, and that the attention of the Police Commissioners and of the Home Secretary may be directed to the case, which clearly proves that Eng lishmen should, under any circumstances, be entitled to appeal from the summary jurisdiction of a single magistrate to the verdict of a jury of their countrymen.

MADRID BOLSA, JUNE 23.—Three per Cents., 221; Five per Cents., 14, Exchange on London, 46 THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. RESIGNATION of the MINISTRY GENERAL CAVAIGNAC ELECTED PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL. We have received the I'aris papers of yesterday. The night of Tuesday had passed off quietly, and all apprehensions of a renewal of the insurrection were at an end. Indeed, so completely did General CAVAIGNAC consider the insurrection suppressed that he announced his intention to the National Asssembly, on Tuesday, of resigning into their hands the extra ordinary powers with which they had invested him. This announcement was met with loud cries of "No," and it is generally supposed that he will be requested to retain his powers for some time longer. We yesterday stated that a body of insurgents, driven from the Faubourg St. Antoine, had taken up a position in the Cemetery of Pere la Chaise. Some regiments of infantry arrived on the spot, and sum moned them to surrender. They refused, and during the parley fired at the soldiers, one of whom was struck. The troops immediately opened a fire on them, charged them, drove them from their position, pursued them as they fled, and it is said that scarcely one of them escaped. The last collision between the military and the in surgents took place at Belleville, and was thus de scribed by General LABRETON, who commanded, to his colleagues of the National Assembly, where he arrived just after the termination of the evening's sit ting of Tuesday. It is reported in the Coastitutionnel, and the writer states he heard the General make the recital :—"A last barricade," said the General, "re mained at Belleville. I caused it to be reconnoitred by the National Guard of the place, and by the Na tional Guard of Rouen and that of Amiens. I then sent for the Mayor. I asked him if he could not find some one to open a communi cation with the insurgents. The Mayor re plied in the affirmative, and shortly afterwards he brought to me a citizen who went to the barricade and returned with four of the combatants. They approached and saluted me. Addressing myself to one of them, I asked what they desired ? Ile replied, General, we wish that they should guarantee to us our rights.' Ido not understand such language,' replied the General, and you deserve that I should order you to be shot on the spot, but you are here on my word, and I shall do nothing of the sort. Return, and if in a quarter of an hour you have not laid down your arms, I will have you all shot: " The General immediately gave orders for the occupation of all the houses, the windows of which looked into the barricade. The as sailants were impatient to finish the matter, and at the end of fire minutes they com menced a murderous fire, which the besieged re turned ; but a few moments afterwards they surren dered, finding that all resistance was useless, and that more than a fifth of their number had been put hors de combat. The others, to the number of eighty, were taken prisoners under the protection of the General, who had the greatest difficulty in saving them from the vengeance they had incurred. The number of prisoners now in custody is up wards of 0,000. The prisons, the cellars of the Tuileries, and of the National Assembly are gorged with prisoners. In the Conciergerie 1,500 are confined in an open court, which on one side is separated from the street by a gate, through which they can be seen. The indignation of the National Guard s and the inhabitants against them is so intense that it is with the utmost difficulty they can be saved from summary vengeance. The decre e for their deportation was carried on Tuesday almost unanimously, the only persons who spoke against it being PIERRE LEROUX, the Com munist, and CAussintEnE, the ex-Prefect of Paris, who is more than suspected of having connived at the attempt of the 15th May. The Archbishop of PARIS, after two days of intense suffering, died on Tuesday afternoon, at four o'clock M. CIIARBONNEL, the Deputy, has also died from his wounds, and General DAZiIESAIE has suffered ampu. tation of the leg. General Rat, a Representative, has replaced Gene ral NEGRIER in the command of the troops destined for the defence of the National Assembly, which is also the general rendezvous of all the National Guards who arrive from the departments to place themselves at the disposal of the Assembly. General RET successively dispatched them to different points to act with the National Guard of Paris and the Line, and several detachments were sent to procure ammunition from the outer forts of Paris. The battalion of the pupils of the school of St. Cyr who had on Sunday done duty at the Nations THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1848. Assembly, were on Monday at their own request, sent to the scene of combat. Their mili tary bearing excited the admiration of the National Guard and of the army. The detachments of the Garde Mobile arrived successively at the As sembly, carrying the flags they had taken from the barricades of the Faubourg St. Antoine. General REY halted the detachments before the gates of the Chamber, and afterwards conducted those young men to the President and to General CAVAIGNAC, who praised them in the warmest manner for their courage. One of them, belonging to the battalion of the Marine Mobile Guard, was recognised by several representatives as having displayed extraor dinary courage in the attack of the Place de la Bastille. Another Garde Mobile, a boy between 16 and 17, named DELRAY, of the 9th battalion, was mentioned to the President for having himself cap tured five insurgents, five muskets, and five flags, on different barricades in the Rue de Reuilly. Being taken ill when at the Palace, he could not go to the President. The President, accordingly, went to him, and, kissing him with great warmth, said, " Since you cannot wait on the President, the President of the National Assembly waits on you!" On the Boulevard, another Garde Mobile, also bearing a flag, wept when military honours were paid to him. The quantity of ammunition and arms seized in the Faubourg St. Antoine has been enormous. It was to the inhabitants of this faubourg that LEDIIII ROLLIN distributed arms during the time that he was Minister of the Interior. We resume the report of the sitting of the National Assembly on Tuesday from The Sun of yesterday. The sitting was resumed at half-past eight. The at tendance of representatives was exceedingly great, and the public tribunes were crowded. The President—l have to read to the Assembly two letters which I have received since we last met. This is the first:— " Monsieur le President,—l deeply regret to have to announce to you that the representative of the Haute Loire, M. Charbonnel, my relation, died of his wounds-- (Sensation; marks of griefj)—at a quarter to six o'clock." [The signature to- this letter was not named.] This is the other:—" Monseigneur the Archbishop ct Paris ex pired to-day, at four in the afternoon. He had become insensible for some time, but recovered his senses a little before his death. He was able to address his clergy, who were round his bed, to recommend them to redouble their zeal and devotedness in their mission of zeal and self-denial, and to pray to God that his blood might be the last shed in France in such circumstances"—(Pro longed movement, general marks of regret.) The discussion on the Transportation Bill was then brought in, Sarrans ascended the tribune and was about to speak, when Several voices exclaimed, "No discussion I No dis cussion I" M. Sarrans—l admire the courage of the National Guard, and of tba army, and I execrate the criminal at tempt which has been the cause of so much bloodshed, but I protest against the wholesale proscription which is now about to be practised. Let us not forget what took place during the first revolution—also in an evening sit ting—the Assembly voted a severe punishment, en masse, on those who had violated the sanctity of its place of meeting ; and when the sentence had been car ried into execution, discovered that it was the Repub licans who had been struck, whereas it was the Royalists that ought to have been proceeded against.—(Murmurs.) M. Pierre Leroux—l considered this measure to be one of extraordinary gravity. It concerned a great number of persons, and yet the Assembly is acting un der the influence of passion. When I asked my fellow citimens to nominate me a representative, I did not sup • pose I was coming to an Assembly moved by its personal feelings of resentment, but to a legislative council. — (Violent murmurs.) Look at the situation which you make fur those who are occupied with the social ques tion; you declare, " No concessions to insurrection; no discussion after the victory."—(Agitation.) You are 900 in number, but you will never have any wisdom in your deliberation.—(lnterruption.) Here are five days that civil war has been raging—do you suppose that they who caused it were cool-headed—were in their senses? (Oh, oh.) No, that is impossible; consult medical men, consult physiologists—and they will tell you that it is impossible. Here we have amongst us more than one minister of religion, and not one of them has ever asked to speak on the subject which occupied us all; but you are not an assembly of grave men; you do not really study the question.—(Loud interruption, loud cries of " Order, order.") The decision which you have to come to is the more grave, that the causes of this hor rible civil war are but imperfectly known. Why, I again ask, have not the men of religion amongst you spoken? A Voice—And the Archbishop of Paris! M. Pierre Leroux—No, we have not heard the men of the gospel!—(lnterruption.) A Voice—They have acted. Another Voice—And been killed! M. Pierre Leroux—l am told he is dead; they have acted! I admire that martyr, and bless him with all my heart. Yes, they have acted, but they have not spoken, becahse they could not do so with any consis tency in an assembly which is wanting in coolness and wisdom,- (Renewed interruption.) The President—The Hon. Representative fails in re spect to the Assembly—l call him to order. From various parts—" No! no! recall him to reason!" M. Pierre Leroux—With these interruptions you render it impossible for me to continue; and if you do not permit me to speak according to my conscience, I must send in my resignation.—(Renewed interruption; the House being evidently tired of the Honourable Gen tleman.) lie went on to say that the Assembly ought to take into consideration the sincerity of the men who fought amongst the insurgents. He then spoke of the corruption and selfi►hness which he said existed par ticularly amongst the upper classes of society, and which he attributed to the inequality of property. He inquired if the Republic was to last, and replied that it must continue; or, if not, France must cease, after such violent changes as had taken place, to hold her rank amongst nations. Ile concluded a long and N ery discursive speech, which was evidently distasteful to the Assembly,by declaring that he should propose an amend ment. A Member said that he felt some embarrassment in replying to the Hon. Representative, as he had not spoken in a direct manner against the decree, but had attacked the Assembly and society in general for the late dreadful insurrection. To reply to him was in fact im possible, and consequently he should propose to the House to close the discussion.—(" Yes, yes," from the greater part of the Assembly.) The President—l shall now put that question.—(Cries. from the left of "No, no." "We have not all received the report.") The President—Notice was given early in the day that the document could be received at seven o'clock. Some confusion ensued, but afterwards the Assembly decided that the general discussion was closed. The articles were then brought forward. On Art. 1, declaring that all individuals concerned in the insurrection of the 22d June and the following days should be transported, M. Caussidiere objected in strong terms against the precipitation with which the Bill was urged forward. W here auger prevailed reason could not be properly exercised. He understood perfectly well the feeling of mingled sorrow and indignation which actuated the per sons whose friends had perished; but were there not others who had also, in the course of their lives, suffered equally? Had not he who now spoke to them lost a brother, who fell pierced with sixty-four bayonet wounds?—(At Lyons we think it was in 1832)—still I should not, said the Hon. Representative, even when my affliction was the deepest, have allowed myself to be mastered by passing what the Assembly seems inclined to do at present. ; I call on you not to act when in your present state of irritation. We ought not to vote as we are disposed at present, we ought to respect—(Great tumult.) A Voice—Respect what? M. Caussidiere—Justice! The same Voice—No, but assassins! That is what you want.—(Great agitation). M. Caussidiere—Let it not be said that they were acting as if through a hatred of humanity.—(Oh, oh!) I must declare that the insurrection has been made in the name of the democratic and social Republic; these told,kill balls, them."t 00l Such an ob jection three words I acknowledge alro as my creed. Yes, there are amongst them assassins —there are amongst them men who.have distributed money, but there are also men of perfect sincerity , whose ideas have carried them too far—men whose brain was turned.—(Oh, oh! interruption.) A Voice—There were poisoned "If you d o n ot remove o Assembly, and I cannot con ceive that it could have been seriously made. Do you 5. want to have in Paris, in a e r l‘k t Caussidiere—You d• w • men,i o e r r t e h o of Yth cu r t s h are e wll fortnight, nothi ng b u t w id ows jc and orphans? Has not civil war already cut down a sufficient number of victims? Then, think of what you are about to do—sacr-r-r-r - r — [The honourable repre sentative, after rolling the r, in order to give more effect to the curse ho was about to utter, stopped short, amidst a burst of indignant disgust from every part of the As sembly. Great tumult arose, and cries of " Such lan-- gunge does not suit the tribunes!" burst forth.] A Voice—Use that language in the clubs. M. Caussidiere-1 say that there has been exaggera tion of ideas, passion, and conflict, all from a misunder standing.—(lnterruption.) I say that there has been error.—(Renewed interruption.) A Voice—What, you term murder an error ! M. Caussidere—Yes, there was error in the origin. The Republic was not placed on Feb. 25 on a proper basis. Preserve your prisoners, and if you fear to see them shot by the people, defend them. It will be enough to place the scarf of a representative at the door to pre vent the people or the National Guard from giving way to excesses.—(Cries of " Order, order.") A Voice—The President is wanting in his duty i n allowing the National Guard to be thus insulted. M. Caussidiere—l only mean to observe that I know the National Guard too well to fear anything from that body. I ought to know them, for they gave me an im mense number of votes. A Voice—Ay, but they would not give any to you now. M. Caussidiere—l respect the utility of the National Guard, and I have no fear of any attack being made on the prisoners. After the victory humanity resumes its right. The President—Now that the Hon. Representative has completed his phrase, it is evident that it is most offensive to the National Guard. In consequence, I call him to order.—(Approbation.) M. Caus3idiere—l demand from the Assembly a more cool and reserved investigation than it now appears in clined to grant. I demand that Commissioners be named to inquire separately if there be good reason for trans porting such or such a citizen. M. Vivien, the president of the Committee on the Bill, said that he understood that there were a number of amendments, many recommending the employment, at least partially, of the usual forms of justice. With the number of prisoners already taken between five thousand and six thousand—•that course would be impos sible to make use of the usual forms of justice. All that could be done was to examine most carefully whether the persons in custody had been guilty of the culpable acts attributed to them. The prisoners were to be con sidered as prisoners of war—(Yes, yes)—and ought to be punished as such. They were, in fact, political pri soners, and ought to be, in consequence, specially pro vided for. It was, in fact, that consideration which had caused the Committee to change the usual word deportes into that of &emporia, which would include the idea of civil death, like the other. It was, in tact, necessary to remove these men from the country if it was intended to prevent a recurrence of similar dreadful convulsions hereafter.—(llear. ) A vast number of amendments were proposed, but the following were the only ones adopted. On Article 1 it was decided that the date for the individuals found with arms in the it hands should be on and after the 23d of June, in place of the 22d ; that " they should be proved to have been concerned in the insurrection ;" and, lastly, that " their wives and children should be allowed to accompany them." This last amendment proceeded from M. Leroux. For Art. 2 it was decided that " the investigations commenced before the courts-martial should pursue their course, even after the state of siege had ceased to exist ;" that "to have distributed arms or ammuni tion ;" and that " such liberated or escaped convicts as had taken part in the insurrection " should be included in the cases to which the article applies. On Arts. 3 and 4 of the Bill no change was effected, and the measure was thus adopted with only three or tour dissentient voices. The moment the President had declared the Bill to have passed, General Cavaignac ascended the tribune, and said— The authority which the National Assembly had in trusted to five persons, having, from exceptional circum stances, been committed to one, and the insurrection which led to that decision having ceased, I have the honour of informing the Assembly that to-morrow at the opening of the sitting I shall remit into its hands the extraordinary powers which I have held for some days. —(Cries of " No, no, it is too soon.") Great agitation followed this announcement, the As sembly appearing quite horror-struck at the prospect of being thus left to itself. General Cavaignac again ascended the tribune, and said—The Republic ought to be jealous of according its power; hut also each man here ought to be jealous to show that he does not desire it longer than circumstances require. —(Loud approbation.) The President then announced that the representa tives were to be present the next day under the peristyle of the Palace to pass in review the National Guards from the country. The public sitting would be resumed at twelve o'clock. The representatives then withdrew in great agitation at a quarter past twelve. ELECTION OF GENERAL CAVAIGNAC AS PRESIDENT. There were various rumours current as to the formation of the new Executive Government, and various lists of the new Ministry handed about. The question has, however, been set at rest by the As sembly, in its sitting of yesterday, at which Gene ral CAVAIGNAC resigned his extraordinary powers as head of the Executive Power, whereupon the Assem bly passed him a vote of thanks by acclamation. The Ministers then tendered their resignations, which were accepted ; and a decree was passed confiding to General CATAIGNAC the Executive power, with the title of President of the Council, and with power to appoint his own Ministers. The Committee of the National Assembly to in quire into the causes of the insurrections of the 15th of May and the 23d of June, sit daily, and from the names of which it is composed, the in quiry is likely to be a sifting one. The following are the members of the Committee :—MM. Pou geard, Waldeck Rousseau, De Larcy, Delespaul, Woirhaye, Landrin, 0. Barrot, Beaumont (de la Somme), Goudchaux, Flandin, Bouchart, De 111 or nay, Dahirel, ,Lanjuinais, and Latrade. M. Odilon Barrot is president of the Committee, and M. Wiorhaye secretary. The Committee proceeds with great activity. On Tuesday it issued a cir cular to all the provinces of the Republic throughout France, calling upon them to send, as soon as pos sible, all telegraphic dispatches which they have received, every document and order for Govern ment which may be in their hands, and, in short, an account of every political fact, within their knowledge that can by any possibility have any reference to the insurrections. The Siecle, in reply to the Union (the organ of the Legitimists), repeats the statement that the Count DE N ARBONNE, late aide-de-camp to CHARLES X., had, with his valet, been shot by order of the Commandant of Luxembourg, having been caught in the act of dis tributing food, ammunition, and money to the insur gents in the barricades. The Assembly passed in review yesterday in the Place de la Concorde the provincial National Guards. The following description of the present appearance of Paris will convey to those who are acquainted with that city some idea of the dreadful destruction which has taken place during the insurrection : "The Quartier Latin, from the Rue de la Ilarpe to the Place Maubert, from the Hotel Dieu to the extremity of the Faubourg Saint Marceau, is the part which has most suffered. It was there that the combat was most sanguinary, and the traces of the inteute are horribly visible. The colonades of the Pantheon are very much battered ; the statues in the front are many of them de etroyed, and others much mutilated. It was in front of this part that the formidable barricade which defended the approaches to the church of St. Etienne du Mont was built, and which was only demolished after a very severe cannonading. "In the interior of the building the balls have de stroyed two colossal statues, one representing the .'Republic; and the other the Genius of Immortality. One of the copies of a picture by Raphael has been also destroyed. In the centre of ;he monument, on a funeral platform, now lie the remains of General Brea, and Aide-de-Camp M. Manzin, who were so cruelly assassi nated at the Barrier du Fontainebleau. " The Church of St. Etienne also bears marks of balls. The hand of the clock has been carried away. The Rue St. Jacques, near the Rue des Mathurins, and the Bridge of the Hotel Dieu present the most desolating aspect. 'The front of every house is riddled with balls, but those at the end of the street are the most injured. The bar ricades in this place, which was so bravely attacked and carried by the Republican Guard, necessitated the use of cannon. " In the Faubourg du Temple, and in all the quarter extending to the Faubourg St. Antoine, and from the Barrier du Trone to the Bastille, and thence to the Hotel de Ville, the barricades are all thrown down and the streets opened to communication. The crowd of visitors to that point is immense. Three houses facing the canal, opposite the entrepot, are nearly destroyed; the bridge across the canal is literally festooned with balls. It is impossible to calculate the number of barri cades which have been erected from the Faubourg du Temple to the Faubourg St. Antoine, and it is almost incredible how such formidable ramparts cuuld have been carried in so short a time.. " The barricades erected on many points were from fifteen to twenty yards in height, and several yards in thickness; loopholes were skilfully arranged, through which the insurgents were able to fire under the com plete cover of their works, and from whence they could never fail to bring down their victims. "In the Rues Fontaine au Roi, Trois Bornes, Saint Maur Popincourt, Amboise, &c., barricades were erected at every ten yards. If the struggle had continued any longer, it would have been most sanguinary, for the means of defence had been organized in the most formid able manner. In the Faubourg St. Antoine they were equally numerous. The Faubourg is now occupied by the 7th Regiment of the Line. All the houses have been searched, and a general disarming has taken place. The barricade erected in front of the Retrai to de St. Ferdinand' was a complete fortress. " The following is the number of cases received in the various hospitals:— La Charite ... 120 Val de Grace ~. ... 190 Hotel Dieu . • ... 400 Hopital Dubois Clitiique ... ... ... 78 Saint Lazare ... 63 Saint Louis 500 In this number are not included a great many cases which were brought in, but where death took place im mediately after. " Vast numbers of the National Guards are missing, and the doubt as to their fate is almost more painful than the certainty of the worst. In every church funeral ser vices are going on from morning till night, and the same sorrowful symptoms of the evils of civil war must necessarily continue unabated for several days. The number of the dead and wounded to be still seen carried along the different streets is extraordinary. All the women, from the highest to the lowest, aro busy preparing lint for the hospitals. At every door you see a little group engaged in this work ,of charity. Besides this, subscriptions for the benefit of the wounded have been opened, and the orphans are adopted by the Republic, by whom they will be sup ported and educated. At night no one is allowed to move about without a laisser passer, but in the daytime the extreme strictness of the first two days has been relaxed. It was only yesterday that the barricades raised by the troops and National Guards round the Assembly when the attack of the insurgents was ex pected, were taken away. The Place de la Concorde and the precincts of the Assembly resemble a camp on the eve of battle. Two regiments of cuirassiers are picketed all round the place. The artillery and infantry are bivouacked round the obelisk, and the National Guards of the departments are to be seen lying on matresses and bundles of straw on the pavements. The Champs Elysees are also full of troops." Different versions have been given of the massacre of General BREA. The Journal des Debats gives the following as the correct one : " The general had advanced with his eide•de-camp to the barricade, in order to deliver some words of concili ation to the insurgents. He was on horseback. The men on the barricades cried out to him, Come closer ; dismount from your horse, we cannot hear you.' With out hesitating a moment they did so, and advanced. A band of the insurgents immediately surrounded them, and dragged them inside the barrier, saying that they would shoot them immediately unless they gave orders to the troops to give up their arms and ammunition. The General energetically refused. The insurgents gave him an, hour to reflect. At the expiration of that time, meeting with a similar energetic refusal, they carried their threats into execution, and threw the bodies on the top of the barricade. What would have been to be ex pected from such wretches if Puri* had fallen into their hands ?" The funeral of the victims is to take place on Friday. The prisoners are represented as being many of them very depressed, they imagine that they shall be shot. The rallying sign of the insurgents was a small osier wand that each of them kept concealed in his sleeve, those borne by the chiefs were forked at the end. Evidence has been obtained that besides their general plan of operation, the insurgents had a revolutionary government ready organized. When the sedentary National Guard, the Garde Mobile, and the line entered the Faubourg St. Antoine, they saw the walls covered with red bills containing the following: " Victory will give wealth to all true democrats. A defeat will be the conflagration and ruin of the Faubourg St. Antoine." • • The Constitutionnel says that the Bourse was opened as usual at one o'clock on Tuesday, but that there were present only seven or eight brokers and a few loungers. At a quarter after one the Comrnissaire de la Bourse having declared the forced absence on public services of the fifty brokers, declared tke Bourse closed, no quotations having been made. The same journal states that in the Faubourg St. Antoine alone 25,000 fire-arms of all species have been seized, for the legitimate possession of which it is im possible to account. In most of the houses traces of the occupation by the insurgents are to be seen. On the tables are remains of gunpowder, of wine, and of brandy, and on the floors large stains of blood. Troops and National Guards from the most distant parts of France continue pouring into Paris. The army of the Alps, under General OUDINoT had set out, but returned on hearing by telegraphic dispatch of the suppression of the Insurrection. The National Guards of Lyons and of Bordeaux are en route for the capital. Everything continues quiet in the pro vinces. The Constitutionnel gives the following account of the proceedings of the insurgents at Belleville during the tour days they held possession of that place : " Since Friday evening Belleville was blockadtd by the insurgents, whe❑ on Sunday morning a troop of 300 came and disarmed the post of the marie. They imme diately established another post, drove away the mayor and his adjuncts, and invested one of themselves with the municipal functions. The new mayor made the drummers of the National Guard beat the genirale, taking care to make a hundred or so men in blouses accompany them, calling the people to take up arms and erect barricades, and threatening if they refused to use against them the most violent measures. Notwithstanding their threats they met with no support among the inhabitants. Seeing that they had no success, they themselves took to forming barri cades ; in fact, they rude a great number along the whole of the Rue de Paris, as far as the fortifications Romainville. One of the most important was erected at the entry at the Rue Pyat and the Rue Saint Lau rent, fronting the Barrier de Belleville ; and another was formed in front of the marie ; but it was only of secondary strength, and consequently not in a state to arrest any serious attack. The construction of other barricades behind these was principally intended to guard them from an attack of cavalry or of light troops, coming from Bondy or Vincennes, by the Ro mainville Railway. The dread of an attack on that side seemed to give them great uneasiness, for they were afraid every moment of being turned by the troops, and being blocked up without a means of escape. They remained till yesterday morning (Mon day) in this position. Yesterday, the news of the ds feat of the insurrection in the Faubourg St. Antoine and the Clos St. LazAre, seemed to thin their ranks considerably. They might have been seen passing up the Menilmontant-road, and that of the Barrier de Belle ville, to go and seek an asylum, and secrete their arms in the country parts. At the same the inhabitants of all these communes, exposed to the attacks directed against the insurgents, left their dwellings, taking with them their wives and children, their linen, and their provi sions, to go and establish themselves in the country till they might return to their homes. This they were soon enabled to do, for the troops completely put the insur gents to the rout. The great barricade was sapped, and the troops thus got possession of it easily, putting the rebels to flight, and taking many of them prisoners. The troops then completely occupied the streets, and were received with the greatest enthusiasm by the inhabitants. Many of the arms were recovered, and a general dis armament was taking place of those who had not an. slivered the call of the National Guard. " General Lamoriciere was accompanied, in one of his visits to some of the prisoners taken in the late insur rection, by M. Thiers. On learning who was the person who accompanied the General, one of the prisoners ad dressed M. Thiers, telling him that he had killed four teen persons with his own hand, and only regretted that his victims were so few. " One of the insurgents, who has been taken to the Abbaye, boasts of having killed 22 persons in the Fau bourg St. Jacques. The monster was accompanied by his wife and child. Several women caused themselves to be remarked by their cruelty: one of them carried the head of an officer on the point of a sword. The wretch was killed by a Garde Mobile. Another woman, who cut off the head of a captain, was conveyed to the Abbaye. " M. Brissot-Thivars, son of the " Chef de la Salubrite' at the Prefecture of Police, and chef de bataillon of the Garde Mobile, delivered thirty of his unfortunate brethren in arms, who had been confined by a potter of the Rue de la Roquette in one of the immense ovens which serve to make pottery. M. Brissot-Thivars was lucky enough to arrive a quarter of an hour after the oven was lighted, and betore the men had sustained any great injury." BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JUNI 28. Boulogne and Amiens, 6 1 / 8 —Namur and Liege, 11,4 — Sambre and Meuse, 21/2. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. Advices from Berlin of the 25th state that M AUERSWALD, brother of the ex-Minister and civij governor of the province of Prussia, having adhered to the propositions made to him by M. HANSEMANN, the latter has been enabled to place the following list of the new cabinet before the KING, so that the As sembly will he enabled to proceed to business in a re gular manner : M. Auerswald—President of the Council. M. Schleinitz—Foreign Affairs. General Tchreckenstein—War. 111. Kuhlwelter—Home. M. Hansemann—Finance. M. Milde—Commerce and Public Works. M. Robertus—lnstruction and Public Worship. M. Maerker—Justice. The resignation of M. CAMPHAUSEN has broken up the first Cabinet which has undertaken to govern Prussia on constitutional principles. Three of his colleagues, ARNIM, SCHWERIN, and KANITZ, had abandoned their posts immediately after the scenes of the 14th, and their withdrawal created a gap which M. CAMPHAUSEN doubtless found it no easy matter to fill up. It has been hinted that his retirement was accelerated by a difference with the KING about a communication received by the latter from the Em peror of RUSSIA, which the Prime Minister wanted to see, and which the KING insisted was a private letter. That such a disagreement may have occur red in the present disjointed state of affairs, whilst the KING and his advisers are alike unschooled in the duties of their new positions, is not unlikely, but it is obviously inconsistent with the fact that M. HANSEMANN, whose political sentiments are of a more decided colour than those of his late colleague, has succeeded in forming a Ministry on a more exclu sively Liberal basis than that which has just been broken up. Differences within the Cabinet itself there doubtless were, but not greater, we believe, than we are accustomed to remark between members of the same Government in England. M. CAMP HAMM quits office because he finds himself unable to govern the country. An important improvement has taken place on the railway line between Berlin and Brunswick. Hitherto, in consequence of the bridges over the Elbe not being completed, the trains halted at Magdeburg, on the right Elbe bank, whence passengers and merchandise were conveyed in omnibuses and carts over the two arms of the river, and through the town to the Mag deburg and Brunswick station, by which great incon venience and loss of time ensued. The bridges are now complete and open for traffic. FRANKFORT. The debate of the establishment of the Central German Executive still continues in the German Parliament. The fono wing official document was to be presented to theta in the sitting of the 26th : It is proposed that the National Assembly receive the following motions, and to reject all the rest:— " 1. Until the definitive establishment of an Execu tive power tor Germany, a Provisional Central Power shall be appointed for all affairs common to the German nation. " 2. This power has— " a. Tu exert the Executive power in all matters ap pertaining to the general security and welfare of the German Confederation. " b. To superintend the aggregate armed force, and especially to appoint the commanders-in-chief. " c. To organize the representation of Germany as a nation and as a commercial polity, and to this end to appoint ambassadors and consuls. " d. To publish and execute all laws enacted by the National Assembly. "3. The rearing of the fabric of the constitution is excluded from the sphere of action of the Central Power. "4. With regard to war and peace, and to treaties with foreign powers, the Central Power makes its deci sions in concert with the National Assembly. " 5. For the formation of a Provisional Central Power, a substitute of Empire is, in the shortest possible . time, to be nominated by the German Governments, and to be approved by the Assembly, by simple division, without discussion. " 6. The President (substitute of empire or director of confederation) exerts his power by means of minis ters appointed by himself, arid responsible to the Na tional Assembly. All his rescripte (or orders) require, to make them valid, the counter-signature of at least one responsible minister. " 7. The President (substitute of empireor director of confederation) is irresponsible. "If Motion 6 be carried, it will further be put to the vote that— " 8. The more definitive decisions as to the responsi bility of the Presidents (or director of confederation) be made, in the form of a distinct law, by the National Assembly. "9. The Ministers have the right of attending the deliberations of the National Assembly, and of claim ing a hearing from it. " 10. The Ministers are bound, at the request of the National Assembly, to appear in the same, and give explanations or information. " 11. The Ministers have only then the right of rote in the National Assembly, when they have been chosen its Members. " 12. The office of President (substitute of empire or director of confederation) is irreconcilable with that of a deputy in the National Assembly. " 13. The moment the Provisional Central Power comes into operation, the existence of the Diet is et an end. " 14. The Central Power has, in respect of executive measures, to place itself as far as is practicable in com munication with the plenipotentiaries of the individual Governments. " 15. As soon as the scheme of constitution for Germany is completed and brought into operation, the agency of the Provisional Central Power ceases." It is generally supposed that the Archduke Jong will be chosen Executive President. BOHEMIA. Prague continues quiet. The Imperial Commis sioners confirmed Prince WINDISCHGRATZ in hi* command, entirely approving of that General's con' duct. He is invested with the civil as well as mili tary governorship of Bohemia. Martial law has been proclaimed, and upwards of 30,000 men are concentrated in and around Prague. Among the parties arrested are many persons of importance , such as Count BOUQUOI and his son• Dr' BRAUNER, Count ALBERT NOSTITZ, Dr. Turrsol and his son, MICILOVETY the poet, and Baron ViLaril The confessions of the latter throw much light on the origin of the late revolt. The intention of the conspirators was to massacre all the German func tionaries, nobility, and officers. The grand object Of the insurrection, which had extended its ramifications throughout the Austrian dominions, and even in Poland, and Russia, was to establish an empire, consisting nt all the Sclavonian provinces of Austria and of Poland ITALY. NAPLES AND SICILY. A letter from Naples of the 17th says : " Naples is apparently tranquil, but there is som e anxiety about the King's state of health, and a family council was held at the palace yesterday evening, re' specting it. Ho has quarrelled with his brother Laigi ' who is going with his wife and family to Mal"' The troops have been bcaten in Calabria with great loss, chiefly in wounded. The Calabrians have offered seven thousand ducats for the head of General Nunzian te, who commands them, and the father of a noble family has offered his daughter with a handsome marriage portion head. to any one who will bring in Nunziante's'Prince The person who makes this offer lost two sons in the con' !Het." The state of siege has been taken off. The French fleet is still in the Bay of Naples, and Admiral BAUDIN is very positive in his demands upon the KING. On the 16th a line•of-battle ship and tw o steamers (French) went off for :Messina, where it was reported there had been a recommencement of hostilities between the citadel and the town. Th e English frigate Thetis and the steamer Porcupine are also here. Most of the foreigners have lef t Naples, and many Neapolitans also, the latter for the Vomero, Portico, Sorrento, Castellamare, 6:1 fearing another outbreak before the opening ° Parliament. The Sicilian Parliament, sitting at Palermo, ha s published the list of four candidates for the throne of Sicily. They are the son of the King of SARDINIA, the son of the Duke of TUSCANY, Louls BONAPARTE, son of the Prince DE CANINO (Lve ol4 BONArARTE), and the Prince DE BEUHARNAIS. LOMBARDY. It is rumoured that Verona has surrendered to t he Piedmontese. We are not inclined, hovvever, to attach much credit to thi s repor t. Th e admirals °t. the Italian fleet have officially declared the blockade of Trieste. WILLIS'S ROOMS. Mr. Julian Adams's third chamber concert tool' place last night, when his friends and the admirers of his talents as a pianist of premiere force flncl° . l / around him.

The duett pt, - formed by Mr. Julian Adams and Mr* George Collins, upon the pianoforte and violincello, was applauded several times during its masterly 019 : cution : it was supposed to be arranged by Reissige; and Merk, but we strongly suspect it was by t b talented executants.
