Again the warlike candidates for office have not only secured victory to themselves in the Eternal City by the elevation of ;Count MAMIAMI to the department of the interior, Ibut the portfolio of justice has been awarded to PaseuaLs DE Rossi, that of finance to LUNATI, that of war to Prince D'OZIA•PANFILI, that of commerce to the Duke nn RIGLIANO, the command of the police to Gunmen GA.LETTI, while the supreme dignity of the Presidentship of the Council has been conferred on the Count Mkstcsierei. We enumerate these comparative statistics, so to speak, of the belli gerent opposition in the metropolis of the Papal States and of Republican France, not because we are impressed for a single instant with any idea of a resemblance between the situation of Pio NONO, and that of the pacific majority represented by L ANARTINE. The citizens of Rome are burning to flesh their 1 swords upon the plains of Lombardy from the holy devotion of patriotism, from the depth of their alle giance to their nationality, from their profound solicitude to share in the glory and the danger of beating down the German banners in every city f so uthwards of the Carpathian mou ntains, and ef 1 erecting in their stead the tri-colour of Italian unity, fraternity, liberty, and in de p endence. With the clubbists of Paris it is altogether different. They have no nationality of their own to vindicate ; they have no foreign foe to expel beyond the f ro ntiers ; they have no conquerors to pun ish, no despots to f de grade, no land to purge of th e presence of a show h os t for mercenaries. All the plea which they can the justification of their demands for battle r terro ro is the po f sition of affairs in Italy and the A po o tor Poland, madmen that the y are! As if France had not within the past quarter revealed, by its sublime maintenance of tranquillity, the omnipotence of its moral influence on Christendom. As if the months of March and April, together with the close of February and the begin{ ning of May, had not been pregnant with emancipai tion to Europe, precisely because France afforded the nations of the continent the grandeur of its example, without impelling them along the pathway of retro gression by a military irruption beyond her bounda ries. As if the explosion of democracy at Vienna, at of B t h e a r t l i n a , h st and in e a n t c Mid ef u r n om c h a h n a a g n o g t r e r s e s v i e v al ed the e policy wisdom which characterised the career of the Provisional Govern ment. Prussia arose and responded to the liberative cries of the Parisians—then Austria, then Bavaria, then Lombardy, then Venice, then Hanover, then all the subordinate principalities of the Germanic Con federation. Denmark received spontaneous conces sions from her Sovereign. Naples compelled one of the last of the Bourbons to yield to the requirements of the populace. Sicily achieved her emancipation- Spain and Portugal are beginning to display their sympathy in the great movement of the surrounding nations. And now—noto at the eleventh hour — when the pacific policy of France is proving more and more triumphant, the insensate clubbists of Paris are striving to hurl the whole republican sys tem into ruin, by drawing the brand of a revolutionary war, and marching their armies across the frontier! With those among the population of Rome who years to mingle in the ranks of the Piedmontese we can sympathise to the very fullest extent—their thirst for war is honourable—it is the result of a national and patriotic instinct. And, while we as fully comprehend and appreciate the conscientious scruples of their glorious and immortal PONTIFF, we are rejoiced to find that those scruples have not been violated by any overt recalcitration on the part of his Holiness ; but that he has repudiated bloodshed in a manner such as admirably became him in his Pontifical character, while, with the sagacity of a statesman and the patriotism of an Italian Prince, he has abstained from any further interference against the participation of his subjects in the holy war of independence. After the solemn and beautiful re monstrance of Pio Norio, published in a decree of the 2d instant—wherein he exclaims reproachfully, " Popule meus, quid feci tibi f What have I done to you, omy people I"—it is a matter of inexpressible gratification to find that the Romans and Pio Norio have been so soon afterwards reconciled—that the ori ginator of the liberative movement in Italy is still at the head of the march of emancipation—and that the youth of the Papal States will speedily swell the army which is pressing steadily forward against the troops of RADETZKT. Our sentiments towards the warlike party in France are precisely the reverse. That party is endeavouring to forward its ruthless and unprincipled ambition under the humane pretext of carrying assistance to the Poles and the Italians. They have either forgotten or contemned that declaration of M. DE LAMARTINE—" The Government will not allow its policy to be altered by any foreign nation, no matter what may be the sym pathy which we may experience for that nation in our hearts." But no ; they have neither contemned that declaration nor forgotten it—they are endeavouring to cram it down the throats of the Executive Committee with the pike of insurrection. War they are resolved to have—if possible—at all hazards; at the hazard of morality, of principle, of Republican fame, of human life, of liberty, and of the Revolution. Their thirst for war is insatiable—they must have it or perish. Which will be effected— war or the annihilation of the clubbists ? Let Paris reply. We wait for that reply confidently, for we know that the Parisians will not dishonour the re membrance of February. ticn-laws, and this, which at all periods was a matter I of policy, became a demand based on equity and justice, which could not be denied or retarded when we abolished the differential and protective duties in their favour, which alone reconciled them to—and which were regarded as scarcely equivalent for—the restrictions on their commerce in matters of na- BEAUTIES OF SCOTTISH SONG.

Gentlemen the President of the Board of Trade last night communicated the inten tions of the Government with respect to the proposed changesbt in a speech of considerable abilit y . He d e tailed the changes that had taken place in b r e iefiy code, from the period of the enacting of the first navigation-law on the statute-book, in the reign of King RICHARD the Second to the latest period, through their different phases of monopoly and ex clusion, to that of mere protection by means of dif ferential duties, and again their return to the former s ystem of prohibition, which ultimately settled down in the present provisions, contained in three statutes, enacted during the present reign, the 8 and 9 Vic toria, c. 88; 8 and 9 Victoria, c. 89; and 7 and 8 Victoria, c. 112 ; the objects of which were to secure for ourselves, first, the European carrying trade; secondly, what is called " the long voyage . trade ;'' and thirdly, the entire colonial trade. There are in addition other provisions, but which are not so im portant, and do not afford so much grounds for com plaint as the foregoing. It is intended to main tain the coasting trade and the fisheries of this country, and also of our colo nies, unaltered, permitting, however, each colony to legislate, to a certain extent, with respect to its own coasting trade. With these exceptions the whole navigation of the country, of every sort and descrip tion, is to be thrown open, reserving however to the QUEEN in Council the power of putting such restrictions "on the navigation of foreign countries as she may think fit, if those countries do not meet us on equal terms, not making it obligatory to do so, but enabling her to act in the manner that may ap pear most advisable for the interests of the nation." We shall on a future occasion examine fully the details of the proposed measure, and the mode by which it is intended to effect the contemplated ob jects, and ultimately to lead to the greatest freedom of commerce. It is a step in the right direction, and will, we doubt not, be received with approbation throughout the entire country. When the great principle of free trade was recog. nised by the Legislature—when it was decided that no tax or impost should for the future be levied for the mere purpose of protecting any particular class or interest, it became manifest that some great and comprehensive changes were rendered necessary in those portions of our commercial code by which our shipping is regulated, and which have been popularly known as " the navigation-laws." It was certain that the present system could not be maintained in its integrity ; but great caution was necessary as to the nature and extent of the modifications and alterations that might be brought forward, The maintenance of our naval supremacy is dear to the heart of every Englishman, and no British subject would consent to any change by which the efficiency of our " wooden walls," or of their gallant and hardy crews, might be impaired or even endangered. The magnitude of the interests involved demanded that the most attentive consideration should be devoted to the subject. That consideration has been bestowed; two years have elapsed since Parliament decreed the abolition of monopoly, and that trade and commerce should b e unres t r icted and unfettered by any useless and vexatious regulations. And still certain provisions were enforced which had the ef fect of preventing the magnificent results of the imp or t ant and beneficial change from being fully realised. F ore i gn nations v i ewe d w i t h j ea l ousy our continued, although b u t p ar ti a l, adhesion to the ob jectionable principl e o f protection. They might well doubt the sincerity of o ur pro f ess i ons w h en t h ey f oun d that we still excluded the vesse l s o f ot h er l an d s f rom an y. portion of our traffic. Th ose w h o were i n j ur i ous l y affected, or, what was almost a s b a d, w h o f anc i e d that they were injuriously aff ec t e d ther eby, still con tinued their own exclusive-system, but a 'whic h n they fairly a British h s hi p . e nough asserted to be well-m er it e d retaliation for our ewn impolitic enactments, a ping was subjected to great disadvantages, in the s i ll ye of differential duties and other burdens ; ' and even a hint was given on behalf of the Prussian Government too t more t strihe ngexpiration ent measures of the the n would h e introduced so s as existing treaty enabled them to deal freely with the subject; while the' Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States, in a more enlightened spirit, declared the desire of his country, our greatest rival in com mercial enterprise and naval power, to meet as fairly in removing every existing restriction on interna tional commerce, and to establish universal reci procity in the widest sense—by which British ships would be allowed to trade from any port in the world to any port in the United States and be received, protected, and in respect to charges and duties, treated like American ships, ,if reciprocally American ships might, in like manner, trade from any part of the world to any port in her MAJESTT'S dominions. Such a warning on the one side, and so fair and reasonable an invitation on the other, could not be slighted or despised. It is due to our colonies also, if we de sire to maintain the existing connexion between them &nil the parent state, that we should remove the grievances which th ey sustained under onr naviga- ASTLEY'S ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.

Al At this moment a shot was heard from outside, and the moment alter a cro wd of the people, having made good their attack on the Chamber, rupleed in immense crowds, and at once went down to the end of the hall in triumph; the shouts from the tribunes increased, and the people above let themselves down (perhaps forty feet) by the pillars, to join their comrades below. Those who had entered carried flags, and one of them having "Vive la Pologne" inscribed on it, became an object of contention amongst some of the new comers, and the descendants from the tribune. The object ap parently was to have the honour of carrying it as an expression of their wishes to the President's chair. Men were knocked down,. and the scene became so violent, that the female part of the audience got at last truly terrified, and made a precipitate retreat. A few, however, still remained. Barbie still remaining in the tribune, the crowd of poeple, all in blouses, almost collected round the throne, stretching out their hands to him with enthusiasm, and looking up to him as if to their deliverer. Not a word could be heard. The crowd became every moment thicker. The seats behind the Deputies were invaded from the doors behind, and some of the crowd in the body of the House endeavouring to go up the steps to join their comrades, and being prevented by the Deputies, the latter were struck and borne down by the rush. At this moment the reporters' gallery, which previ ously had been spared, was in its turn entered, and the door at my right hand being opened, an immense flag was pushed forward, and the crowd entered. M. Raspail appeared in the tribune with a paper in his hand, which he endeavoured to read to the Assembly. The effort was vain—the voices continued to thunder forth like the noise of a cataract. The ears were rent,. but nothing could be heard. Mary of the people ascended the tribune near him„ and there they stood for some minutes en s L ectacle,,, amidst cries of "Vive la Republique 1" " Viva la. Pologne 1" Very few of the representatives stirred from their places during this scene of unheard .of turbu lence, which far exceeded, for noise and tumult, the memorable sitting of Feb. 24. M. Louis Blanc then got up on the railing close to the, President's chair, and, after many efforts, obtained a hearing. Citizens, said he, I propose to you that this petition of the people, in favour of Poland, be read iti the Assembly.—(Tremendous shouts from the intruders.) The people are calm in their force, and the petition ough.t to be read and discussed at once, that it may not be sat ti that the people have, by their entering here, sinne d against their own sovereignty.—(Renewed cheers.) During the pause which occurred whilst these few words were uttered, we could hear the sound coming its, strongly audible, of the people outside. M. Raspail then read the petition, and at the conch 1- sion of some of the passages tremendous acclatnatiotss AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The Allgemeine Zeitung publishes the following under the head Verona, May 7 : " A sanguinary conflict took place in our imm ediate neighbourhood yesterday. The enemy, whose numbers have been considerably increased by numerou s free corps, amounts to nearly three times as many as ours. The an troops fought like lions, but unhappily to Austrian many brave men, among whom was the valiant General Salis, who was shot through the breast, and Lielltenall t. Colonel Lenzendorf. " The 10th Jager battalion, consisting chiefly of Lower Austrians, suffered the most material loss. Nearly four times the number of the enemy were disabled. Th° cannons roared incessantly for nearly seven hours, an d from eleven to two in the afternoon was so close that the enemy's bslls fell at our gate. The town has been and remains quiet. "According to a letter from Verona, dated May 6, ten o'clock at night, the right wing of the Austrians, cow manded by d'Aspre, and the left by Wrateslaw, were on the other side of the Etsch. The str en g th of the Pied montese was estimated at 50,000 me n. They fotigtC! valiantly, especially the Swiss guards.

[Whilst he is reading it, the shot which w heard proceeded from a musket, which went off by accident, just as Madame Lamartine was crossii ig the court of the Palais National, to get out of the dreaal ful scene inside. She was much alarmed at the scenic in the interior, and still more so when the shot was fired, but she got safely away. The people, however, obn hearing the shot, made a simultaneous rush forward, and had all the muskets at once examined, to see if Otte others were loaded.] The petition concluded with the words " Vive la lho logne!' and this cry was taken up with a shout sharp, loud, and universal, like the discharge of a cannon sh.:,t, only lasting fGr a considerable time. M. Bart is then mounted on the estrade near the President's chair, and thus dominating the Assembly, sueceeded in making himself heard. He said that be should propose that the National Assembly declare that the people of Paris had merited well of the coun try.—(Tremendous applause from the people.) M. Blanqui addressed the Assembly in favour 'of Poland.—(The whole tribune was filled at the same time with people, whilst others stood in a mass at the loot) of the tribune, or occupied the seats of the messengers or ushers down the centre.)—After speaking of the necessity of having a strong will and a u:ui versa! determination manifested in France h favour of Poland (which sentiment was • o course tremendously applauded), he proceeded , t speak of the massacres of Rouen, and demanded tie the prisons of that city should be opened, and the peep) confined there for the late disturbances set at lines t; —(Renewed applause.)

The Assembly must, without intermission, without stop, without manifesta tion of fatigue, continuously consult together, to give work, to give bread to the people.--(Cheering as betthre.) The people by this time filled the whole house (none, however with arms, though some bad sticks). All up the side passages, and the whole of the centre of the house presented a sea of heads—there appeared not the slightest chance of the scene coming to a conclusion, when suddenly a loud cry of " Vive Rollin" arose. A man was seen forcing his: way through the crowd, and the moment atter— Ledru Rollin ascended the tribune, and was received with universal acclamations from the people. He alhided to the justice ot their demand in favour of Poland, tcpol of the admirable good sense of the people of Paris; de clared that the people had set their grievances before the Assembly with justice, and that without doubt they would be properly attended to. But he would appeal to their sense of justice, if it were possible to deliberate in such a tumult. He called on them to withdraw on the instant, and allow the National Assembly to do its duty and decide what was to be done. (He was loudly applauded, except at the close, when murmurs arose.) Voices—Let it vote at once! The matter ha. been sufficiently debated! We have enlightened the As sembly! An irruption of the delegates of the clubs here :burst into the reporters' gallery, and two of the men, advanc ing on the bed of the gallery, stood there unsupported, demanding to be heard. They could not, however„ suc ceed in their attempt. The Polish flag was benesth, with those of the " Ateliers Nationaux," the Organization de Travaill,' and others. A Delegate and a Pompier successively addresse the crowd from tho tribune ; most probably, r commending them to withdraw, for almost imu diately after the tribune was evacuated.

A cry was also raised n. that " the tribune was giving way 1" Every one tools towards the tribune at the end, from which several were seen letting themselves down hastily into t Chamber. No accident, however, took place, Al t alarm being caused by a cracking noise of some of t timber work. The whole Chamber was by this time filled as 4 w: steam from the perspiration of the crowd. M. Barbes here again appeared in the tribune, a addressed the crowd. The first thing heard was—" fixed tax of a milliard shall bo levied on the rich, carry on war for Poland." All the cheers ot the day were mere trifles to a which now burst forth. Just as it was dyingl awl Louis Blanc was recognised amongst the crowd, and being lifted on their shoulders, was borne to the end the Hall in triumph, amidst the loudest cries of Louis Blanc." A cry here arose " They are beating the rappe, which having been repeated, it was answered by dreadful exmamation of " Aux Armes 1" This did r however, meet with much encouragement, " Led th beat it what is that to us 1 " In the midst. of I uproar and emotion excited by these exclamations, M. Barbes again addressed the crowd, and said tl the people having manifestly merited well of their cot try, whoever should order the rappel to be I beat should be declared a traitor to his country, and hors loisl—(As usual, thunders of applause greeted I speaker.) All this time the President (who had made but:a sh. stay outside) was from time to time ringing his ins cient bell, but a new orator had taken possession of the tribune. ✓ PRUSSIA. L.

(What shouting arose here it is useless to attempt to describe. The estrade where the President's chair was placed, the tribune where the orators spoke from, the benches where the representatives were, were all covered with men in blouses —in their shirt sleeves—in the short jacket of the workman. Flags were waving —men were shouting—a paper on the end of a pole bore the words, " Francais secours la Po logne!" All was a scene of such confusion that at first the eye could catch nothing: it was an inextricable mass of the people and their attributes. The representatives had gone; the seats opposite, where the public had been seated in gay attire at the beginning of the sitting, were now held by the men of the people. All was confusion worse confounded. The Assembly broke up. The crowd got tired of remaining in so unaccustomed a position—they gradually lessened in numbers. The chant "du depart" was sung by some of them: a cry of " Aux armes! Aux arrnes!' arose amongst othe• Women flitted about amongst the men; the Delegt had all disappeared. The National Guard in greatest agitation were crying out that they had b betrayed by General Courtais. We met afterwards first and second legions advancing to the Natio Palace in great indignation, and crying " Viie set:abide Nationale.") The greatest agitation prevailed in the streets, ev one trying to learn what bad taken place. BOURSE —PARIS, MONDAY, MAT 16.

OUTBREAK OF THE ANARCHISTS—THEIR INVASION OF THE ASSEMBLY—THEIR DEFEAT BY THE NATIONAL GUARDS —ARREST OF THE LEADERS OF THE CLUBBISTS—RESTORATION OF ORDER. A telegraphic dispatch from Paris, received this morning is to the following effect:— " PARIS, MAY 15. " To-day the people forcibly entered the National Assembly. " M. Hubert rose and proclaimed, in the name of the people, the dissolution of the Assembly. " Paris is in confusion. " Blantui, Barbie, Coutais, and Raspail have been ar rested." _ _ . We have as yet received no further particulars, but from the following passage in the Presse of yester day it is evident that some serious outbreak was ap prehended on the part of the clubs : " The fate of liberty will," says the Prase, " be de cided this day. It the Provisional Government and the Assembly be wanting in firmness—if they have not the courage to reply. Peace, credit, and liberty,' to those who demand War, bankruptcy, and despotism,' it is to be feared that the revolution of the 24th February shall have the same fate as the first, and end in two inva sions and two restorations." The Presse is quite right, and we will add that those clubbists, the Blanquis, et hoc genus omne, the old police spies of the corrupt citizen monarchy, are misleading the unemployed workmen, and urging them to acts of violence, because they in tend a restoration which shall place once more their employers in power, and enable themselves to revel in luxury procured by the wages of corruption. The subject of Poland has been made a pretext by the Communists for attempting to overthrow the Assem bly. The Government had adopted measures fur defending the cause of order against the attempts of the Anarchists. The rappel was beaten at nine o'clock in the morning. The entire of the National Guards were individually, privately, and specially summoned to hold themselves in readiness to repair to the rendezvous at beat of drum, and 50,000 of them were positively ordered to assemble and remain under arms throughout the day. The Garde Mobile and the troops of the line were kept within the barracks ready to act. The following proclamation was issued by the Executive Committee of the Government : " May 14. " Citizens,—The Republic is founded on order, and can only live by order; with order can you alone have work; with order alone the great question of the ame lioration of the lot of labourers can be cleared up and restored. You have comprehended this truth. All France has applauded your calm and resolute attitude. From the moment that manifestations, the inevitable re sult of the first day of revolution, have ceased, confi dence began to revive, and with it commerce and industry. Yesterday, however, Paris has again witnessed attruupe mints which have caused new disquietude.. Paris is ad monished, nut blamed. Citizens, the Republic is loosing; power is constituted ; the whole people moves on the heart of the National Assembly. Law and force are there, and cannot be in any other place. Why, then, these assemblages? The right of meeting, the right of discus sion are sacred. Do not compromise them by external and imprudent manifestations, which cannot add to their strength. Citizens, public tranquillity is the gua rantee of industry, the safeguard of ell interests. The Commission of the Executive Power, convinced that all provocation to illegal or unreasonable manifestations kills labour and compromises the existence of ,the people, will maintain with -rigour and energy the tran quillity if menaced. The Commission, for the accom plishment of this duty, appeals to all men sincerely re publican; it counts upon the excellent spirit of the Pa risian population, which has hitherto protected, and will protect, the Revolution, as well against reaction as anarchy. " The members of the Executive Commission, " ARAGO, GARNIER PAGES, MARIE, LAMARTINE, LEDRU ROLLIN. " PAGNERRE, Secretary." The postponement of the fete of Sunday (the ab surdity should never have been proposed) has added much to the popular discontent, and considerably to the physical force of the discontented. The papers of yesterday morning contain the following : " The delegates from the departments, who had arrived for the fete, assembled yesterday in the Place a r y appointed of Justice Government their disapprobation at the postponement. Havingntty wehelrae received tterent by the Minister tthee where;he Minister of the Interior, M. R ecurt, and by M. Flown, the Minister of Commerce. The delegates were assured that the delay had b een cause d by • • the impossibility of getting ready in time. They demanded that the fele should take place on Tuesday, and were then informed that the National Assembly only could decide. It was promised that the subject should be brought before the Assembly this day. In the afternoon the deleg ates went in procession to the Ely . 6e National t o mak e the same complaint to the Executive Government. The ex-political detenus, like the delegates 13f the Luxembourg, declared in the following protest, which was posted up on Saturday, their determination not to take part in the fele A feu has been decreed for the 14th of May. The political detenus are invited to attend it. But, considering that the people are dying with hunger, that the wounds of our brothers are still bleeding. and that the presenee of the political detenus at the fete of the 14th could only be considered is an adhesion to all that has been done politically and socially since the 24th of February, the assembly of political dot enic convoked specially—coniidering that the communists, the terrorists, but all the off-scourings - republicans cannot exhibit joy when there is mourning in their harts, decide unanimously that they will abstain from being present at the Me. "‘ Signed by the members of the Committee " CAUNES, GEOFF ROY. KIRSAUSIE, PELLEVILAIN, ROSIERES, FLOTTE, HUBER, BIETTE, DUGROSOPES.' "The workmen of MM. Derosne, Cail, and Co., the machine manufacturers, have published the following:— "' On the 12th, at ten in the morning, a chef de bataillon of the staff came to us with an order, said to be from General Courtais, stating that he had consulted with our delegates, to invite us to quit our work imme diately, in order to proceed en mane to the Place de la Reirolution, where we were to join the workmen of the ateliers nationaux to go and convey our thanks to M. Lanaartine for his reconciliation with M. Ledru Rollin. We replied as follows:—" We cannot thank M. Lamar tine or M. Ledru Rollin. for they have done nothing for us, and we have nothing to do for them."' "There were numerous meetings of workmen in the Faubourg Montmartre, on Saturday night, discussing a question of a demand for the increase of wages. The patrols, who were on foot, did not succeed in dis p ersing these groups u ntil two in the mornin g ." The u p 1( ef thearn:O the organ of L EDRU ROLLIN, thus stirs workmen to an outbr e ak against the Assembly. It asks— „ Wh at sa y the people? What is the idea of these revolutionary legions? The people declare that they du n o t understand the p olic y or ganized , fol lowed, com he revolutionary legions are i n d ignan t at seeing Poland in blood and in tears — at ro e r n y te adnd upon by seeing Italy s tru gg lin g between A u stria and Charles suff th r : ges. powers T proceeding from their vic- Albert, the old butcher of past times and the cajoler of the present. Are these complaints founded? Have the people a right to complain? Are the workmen to see the promises made at the Hotel de Ville evaporote in smoke ? Must France suffer by her fraternal com pact with the great nations who counted upon her war-cry and on her word of deliverance ? Yee, the griefs of the people are founded both at home and abroad, for the sacred duty which bound us to other nations has not been observed. We are not citi zens desirous of living at ease within our walls. enjo) log the benefit of our institutions and the pride ot our vic tories; we are the armed propaganda of justice; we are the living and combating law, or we are nothing, and must remain cramped up within conservative power. The revolutionary solidatite (identification) is the great law of the French democracy: in the eighteenth century it took the name ot philosophy; in the stormy days of 1793 it took the name of public safety: now, revolu tionary solidarite is the soul of philosophy—the law of intelligence—the religion of the people. Therefore it is that for the last eight days there exists in the masses a profound emotion. The bulletins of Posen and of Cra cow stir the breasts of the workmen; the revolutionary town is thrilled and agitated at those dull sounds that come from the field of battle where our brothers ore falling under fire. The people are uneasy—they weep and blush. Would they make our Republic poltroon, selfish, and cowardly, like the last monarchy?" By this time M. LAHARTINR must bitterly repent the support which, from the purest motives we admit, he has recently given to LEDan Romart and the Communists. It is that support, and that support alone, which has enabled them to appear in arms against the Assembly, which represents the great majority of the French people. The Commune de Paris recommends that a de monstration on a grand scale should be forthwith made by the unemployed operatives, having at their head flags bearing the inscription " to live by labour, or to die fighting," in order to prove to the members of the National Assembly that they are mere clerks paid, specially for improving the condition of the suffering people. The pretext for such a demonstration is, that since the resignation of MM. Louis BLANC and ALBERT, the National Assembly has proposed no thing for the people but a commission of inquiry, which is equivalent to an indefinite postponement. This shows sufficiently the source from whence emanates the present outbreak. It is the first attempt at the organization of plunder—the first overt act of the organized thieves against the su premacy of the,honest and industrious. With regard to the affairs of Italy and Poland the Minister for Foreign Affairs has presented the fol lowing diplomatic documents to the Assembly :- 1. Extract of the political correspondence relative to the duchy of Posen. 2. Dispatch from Turin, April L. 3. Dispatch from the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Sardinian Ambassador, April 6. 4.

Dispatch from the Sardinian Ambassador to the Minister of Foreign Affairs, April 9. 7. Dispatch from Turin, April 9. 8. Dispatch from the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Sardinian Ambassador, April 12. 9. Dispatch from Turin, April 25. The documents relative to Italy are of little import ance; they relate more particularly to the attempt made on the Duchy of Savoy by the insurgent Savoyards who went from Lyons, the Sardinian Government complain. ing that the Provisional Government bad not prevented the attempt of the insurgents. The reply of the latter was that, as soon as informed of the circumstance, it did everything in its power to prevent it. The Sardinian Government says that no plausible reason existed for the formation of an army on the frontier of a friendly power, to which the Minister of Foreign Affairs replied that the measure was adopted for the security of the French frontier, in view of the eventualities which might result from the existing war in Lombardy between Sardinia, Austria, and the Italian insurgents. There is nothing said on the most important points of the Italian question ; nothing on the affairs of Ro magna, Naples, Sicily, Tuscany, and the whole of Southern Italy. There are three dispatches which enumerate the con duct of the commissary at Lyons, who is accused of h av ing fermented the insurrection, and in a pi oclama. Lion to have invited the Lyonnais° to weave crowns for the soldiers who should be the first to carry the repub lican flag against a foreigner. The following are the most important points extracted from the various dispatches relative to Poland, of the French Chargé d'Affaires at Berlin : " Mallen 20.—The Prussian statesmen are disposed to renounce Polish Posnania, which costs more to Prussia than it yields her. "MARCH 21.—The popular party wish to re-organize an independent Poland, and are desirous that Prussia should immediately adopt that measure ; that Pome rania should be given up in order to serve as the basis ot that reconstitution ; that Prussia should take into her service the Polish legions that may be formed at Posen. The Poles are the object of the most lively in- Wrest. It is the students that give way to the most patriotic enthusiasm. M Aac u 23.--The Poles have resu med their national " cockade. What they desire is, not disorder, but the immediate triumph of republican democracy ; they wish to employ Prussia in the re g eneration of Pnd A deputation from Posnania h as j ust demanded P oland. from t he Kin to proclaim the re-establishment of the kingom . Poland,and to place the crown on the head of a Pruss ian Prince. " MARCH 24.—The King of P russia, decided on braving everything rather than acce p t the title of King of Poland, and of declaring war without provocation against Russia, replied in this sense to the deputatio d from Posen, but he will allow vo lunteers to be enliste . Under no pretence will Pruss ia or Germany consent to allow their territories to be c rossed by armed and orga nized bodies going either to Poland or to Italy. " Mericu 29.—,The war party amongst the Prussians and Poles are of opinion that they should not accept the assistance of any force by land from France. Any co operation from France bliould consist of a fleet in the Baltic, having on. board troops to be landed if necessary. Prince Czarturisky, who arrived on the day before at Berlin, states that he had a verbal assurance from M. de Lamartine that assistance should be sent to Poland by sea if Prussia would assist her by land. The good in telligence between the Germans and the Poles has not lasted long. The German Liberals desire to contri bute to the rtconstitut i on of Poland. The people feel an r what they ca ll the Polish bar invincible disgust f o barians.

Since writing the above we have received intelli gence from Paris up to a quar ter past six o'clock l as t evening, at which hour the National Guards and the supporters of order were completely victorious. There was a greatHleeting of. the cluhbists and soi disenst friends of Poland early in the morning—that meeting was attended net enly b 7 the aluirehista, the of the population of a great city, the men who live by plunder habitually, and the men who, from want of employment, have no means of living, but also by thousands of provincials who had come up to Paris to attend the fete, and who were disappointed and enraged at its postponement, and by the numerous foreigners, the defeated of Belgium, of Germany, and of Poland, who have returned to Paris filled with the bitterest feelings of hatred against the Government of France, which refuses to abet them in their attempts to force Communism on their reluctant fellow-countrymen. As yesterday was the day fixed for the debate in the National Assembly on the Polish question, the persons attending this meeting proceeded at mice to the National Assembly, under pretence of presenting a petition in favour of Poland. Arrived at the Hall of the Assembly they found there were but few troops on guard (probably the matter had been rranged beforehand with General COURTAIS, the Commander of the National Guard, who has been since arrested) they forced their way into the hall of the Assembly, and expelled the Members, I when HUBERT, who had been an active leader throughout, declared the Assembly dissolved. Here upon Louts BLANC, and a party of Communists, proceeded to the Hotel de Ville, and proclaimed a Committee of Public Safety, composed of Louts BLANC, ALBERT, LEDRU ROLLIN, FLOCON, BARBES, BLANQUI, and HUBERT. In the meantime the Executive Government, sitting at the Luxembourg, gave orders !.for the immediate assembling of the National Guard. The National Guard met (vehemently exclaiming against General COURTAIS, by whom they said they had been betrayed, marched upon the Hall of the Assembly, and attacked and expelled the rabble, amidst loud cries of " Vive 1' Assemblie Nationale." The National Guards hav ing left a sufficient force to keep possession of the Hall of the Assembly, arrived at the Hotel de Ville as the anarchists were in the act of proclaiming the Committee of Public Safety, The appearance of the National Guard was sufficient. The anarchists dispersed without blood shed, and BLANQUI, BARBES, HUBERT, General COURTAIS, and several other of the leaders were arrested. The Assembly had met again just as the post was leaving, and tranquillity was completely restored in Paris at a quarter after six o'clock. The following is a report of the morning sitting of the National Assembly, and of the irruption of the rabble route of Communists : THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. SITTING OF MONDAY, MAY 15. The President took the chair at twelve o'clock. In going to the Chamber we found a considerable number of National Guards posted under the trees of the Tuileries, with their arms piled, and apparently_ ready to act at a moment's notice, should their a ssistance be required. This act was deemed necessary in conse q uence of a strong manifestation 01 the people being expected in favour of Poland. The small wicket at the corner of the garden next the bridge was closed, but the whole of the walks in that direction were covered with spectators. On the quay deputations were arriving, each man bearing a green branch, and all crying, " Vive la Pologne!" Near the Chamber itself, next the bridge, there were persons assembled, but nothing of any importance. At the other side, however, down the Rue de Bourgoigne, a consider able crowd was collected, and others were arriving every moment, some with drums beating, and others with drums beating and colours flying. M. Derance presented the proposition of a decree to the effect that " Al g eria henceturward forms part of France, and that the French subjects in Algeria, shall be governed by the same laws and constitution as those on the continent." He should call on the Assembly to have this matter considered in the public sitting of the next day.—(Cries of " Nu, no.") Finally, it was re ferred to the Committee on Algeria. The President read a number of declarations from various representatives who had been returned fur more than one department, declaring for which they selected to sit. Amongst them we heard General Cava.ignac de ciding for the Somme, MM. de Lamartine, Ledru-Rollin, and Gamier Pagis for the Seine, ant M. Crfemieux for the Loire, et lndre. The President read a letter from M. Beranger, de claring that if there was anything that could cause him to forget his age, it would be the flattering letter which he had received from the President, declaring that the National Assembly refused to accept his resignation of his seat amongst them. He had, however, again to en treat them to allow him to remain in his privacy, and from a distance contemplate their labours for the welfare of France. The Chamber, being consulted, decided that his re signation should be accepted. The order of the day was the interpellations relative to Italy. hi d'Aragon had been delighted to hear of the revo lution at Milan. He did not think the Provisional Go vernment had been sufficiently decided in its support of that movement, but as he did not wish to embarr iss the executive committee at the moment of its birth, he should content himself with calling on the lilininter of Foreign Affairs to say what principle was to guide the G ovet nment in its policy relative to Italy. M. Bastide, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, ascended the tribune, and read, in a very indistinct voice, a paper un the subject before the Camber. He declared that the Government felt the greatest sympathy for Italy, and that if its aid was required, it would certainly think itself bound to afford it. No intervention had been demanded by Italy, and consequently France had not been placed in the position to grant it or refuse it. The Government now established in France wished to carry out a system of moderation; it aimed at no con quest; its greatest ambition was to be strong at home, by the internal organization of the country. It would en. deavour, as much as possible, to avoid war; but if, from the course of events, such an event was unfortunately to take place, it would act with vigour. The treaties of 1814 and 1815 had been destroyed for ever; but France did not intend, on that account, rushing unnecessa rily into war. Her conduct would depend on the course of events. 1L d'Aragon thought that the Honourable Minister had not spoken explicitly enough on the question be fore the Assembly. What he (1 d'Aragon) wanted to know was, if the Provisional Government had taken steps to show Austria that she must make such conces sions as would satisfy the Italians. For his part, he should be satisfied if a single Austrian soldier re mained is Italy. He must again ask the Honourable Minister to give more precise information to the As sembly. M. de Lamartine said, that since the questions of Italy and Poland had been brought forward for the same day, he would ask permission to reply at the same time to both. When the question of Poland was presently brought forward, he should endeavour not to leave the slightest doubt in any man's mind about the views and wishes of the Government on those two subjects. M. Wolowski then ascended the tribune to speak on Poland. (Just as the Hun. Minister began to . speak, a sound reached the interior of the Chamber of shouting outside. The sound became every moment louder and louder, and in the Assembly itself at last a dead snence took place. " This, however, was nut neces sary," says the account, "to enable the persons inside to hear the continuous noise of the multi tude outside. Without wishing to exaggerate, or to appear to write fine, I can declare with truth that it was more like the loud roar of the ocean on a stormy day than anything else." After awhile the doors outside were knocked against violently.] A Member thee rose and said—Let the doors of the hall be closed. (Hoar, hear.' ar h o e s e doorsf ro m o t i tt efforts t e hec aamobf Chamber menwe rwere outside pu oi e t d o of representatives, who h a d b een in n. rooms, hurried in and took th e i r pl aces . the hpe eAet open, 7 tumultcommitteeand a h n eur number suddenly e The President—l must request every Member to keep his seat. The utmost order is necessary, M. Wolowski attempted to go on, but every Member was evidently occupied with the noise coming from outside. M. Degousse here ascended the tribune amid cries of " Order, order!" "Go on, go on!" to M. Wolowski. " I have to announce," said M. Degouss4, " that contrary to the wishes of the President, the com mander of the National Guard has ordered his men not to act, to replace their bayonets is the scabbard !" Indescribable agitation followed this an nouncement, which was increased still more when the tribunes at the end of the hall were violently invaded by an immense crowd of people, who entered, bearing banners and branches of trees, and crying " Viva la Pologne." The ladies in the galleries then becoming frightened, a rush was made to the doors, but the Repre sentatives rose, and by voices and signs entreated them to remain quiet. This, indeed, became absolutely necessary, as at this time were heard again the heavy er tribune, an d sound of blows attacking the building below. Th e ladies accordingly resented themselves, pale and terrifi e d, ti but, I must do them the justice to say, mor e fi rm th an a scene to them so dreadful might have led one to expect.]M.

The other members then pro ceeded in the plan of drowning his voice, so that it was impossible to bear more than the deafening sound of many voices. M. B a rbes over and over again held out his hand to speak, and each time was greeted by cheers from the people in the galleries, and by exclamations from the members of the Chamber. The President here left the chair, and was on the instant replaced by one of the Vice-Presidents. Bart 44 held his plac e, and a M ember, having got beside him, addressed the Members who were round the tribune as if in condemnation of that gentleman, and was loudly eheeresl. in the reporters' gallery it was impos 'ibis to hear a word.
