That havin always, upon principle, strenueu.sly objected tope Sugar Act of 18.16, in so far as the introduction of stave-grown sugars into ;he British markets was concerned ; and 100 - ing nut only on the dreadfal evils it has already inflicted on multitudes of suffering slaves, but the still greater evils it wril inflict, it it remain nnrepealed, tlys Committee deem it once more to be their Only so lemnly to protest against a measure so criminal in the application of its principle, and so baneful in its operation, and pledges itself to use evtry means in its power to procure its repeal, and to substitute tor it a measure which Brion wholly exclude slave-grown sugars from the British markets, and allow of the lilacs:nu:don of foreign free-grown sugars only on equal duties with those from the British plantations and possessions abroad.

The circum stances of the various European Sovereigns are, it is true, extremely diversified, nevertheless they all resemble each other in one particular; the circum stances of all, or o f th e ma j ority at least, are most embarrassing and hazardous. The two sovereignties which alone at the present moment appear tranquil and secure are two which are dissimilar in every other respect, namely, those reigning at London and St. Petersburgh. T he one is secure in the enduring power of right, and is strengthened and supported by an unanimous people; the other is secure only in the temporary strength of might, and is only upheld by the•despotic will of one and the servile fear of many. I n the one instance the nation is tranquil and the Crown secure, because the battle of popular liberty has been al ready won, and the rights of the people consolidated. I n the other there is a calm, but it is the calm which precedes the storm. Excepting, however, in these two instances, the a-04ns are indeed " uneasy " on the royal heads of Europe. Embarrassing and hazardous as is the position of the majority, that of the Emperor of AUSTRIA is, perhaps, the most pecu liar and extraordinary. He has endeavoured to recon cile irreconcileable elements. He has endeavoured, as we have already said, to wield the sword of the usurper and the sceptre of the constitutional sovereign. He has, through the instrumentality of RADETSKT, de luged Italy with torrents of blood, and perpetrated, on the plains of Lombardy, horrors and outrages that would have disgraced the darker ages. He has done this in pursuance of his iniquitous reso lution of retaining possession of his Italian usurpations. He has done this, and at one and the same time he has affixed his signature to a constitution for his hereditary subjects—a consti tution more liberal than even the famous declaration of ROBESPIERRE-a constitution as liberal as that which the English people have obtained after years of unprecedented exertion. This liberal constitution FERDINAND has bestowed on the Viennese, even while pursuing his arbitrary policy towards the Venetians. The conduct of the KAISER, from these circumstances, appeared a while ago incomprehensible. But the solution of the mystery is now revealed —it is revealed by the imperial flight from Vienna, and the self imposed exile at Inspruck. Tne key to the conduct of the Emperor of AUSTRIA is cowardice. That cowardice which tyrannises over the weak and cringes to the strong, and shrinks back in alarm at its own movements. FERDINAND be lieved the Italians to be wea k and powerless, hence his ruthless conduct with regard to them. He knew the Austrians to be strong, hence he conceded to them a constitution. But cowardice has not suffi cient courage for concessions. The EMPEROR 1 4111 concede no further. He is afraid to give, and afraid to refuse—hence his temporary residence at In spruck. Most assuredly, if the European Sovereigns were called upon to personify the Passions in Collins' Ode, the part of Fear would be unhesitatingly awarded to FERDINA.ND. He came forward with apparent eagerness to play his part on the Repub lican lyre, but no sooner had he touched the strings than he " Back recoiled, he knew not why, Scared by the sound himself had made." The people of Vienna have issued an address to the EMPEROR earnestly beseeching him to return to the capital, and the members of the Constituent As sembly have signed a petition to the same effect. In answer to these exhortations, the EMPEROR has pub lished a very pretentious " manifesto to my people"— a manifesto as truly regal in spirit and form as though it had been penned from the dictation of METTER. sum In this manifesto the EarrEßort has the gra tuitous kindness to declare that he will neither curtail nor retract his gifts to the people in March, which declaration may be almost considered as the indication of a contrary desire. It is, however, a declaration somewhat tantamount to his expressing a wish to preserve his crown, which most certainly would not long adorn his brow if the constitution of Vienna were abrogated. The EMPEROR further declares his willingness to listen to the " reasonable" wishes of his people if they come to his notice in a legal way, but he will grant nothing to unauthorised and armed inclividuals. It was, he adds, in order to impress this fact upon his " painfully excited people" that he withdrew from Vienna. He withdrew also, says the magnanimous but incomprehensible entence which concludes the manifesto, " to remind them of the paternal love with which he is ever ready to receive his sons, even though they be prodigal ones." How the Austrian insur • gents may have enacted the part of prodigal sons, and how the EMPEROR'S flight can indicate his readiness to receive them, we must confess we are totally unable to understand. One thing is, however, sufficiently clear. FERDINAND regards his recent concessions as acts of amazing generosity on his part. The constitution was a tree gift of his bounty. But in this supposition he is considerably mistaken. A concession of popular rights such as alit which the Austrians have recently obtained, however much it may reflect honour on the Sovereign who voluntarily assisted in its promulgation, cannot be regarded purely as a gratuitous gift on the part of the Sovereign. We talk of restoring people to liberty, not of giving them liberty, for we cannot give them what is their own. And FERDINAND, by conceding the rights and liberties of the Austrians, diel not confer a boon upon them, but.only restored to them what was their own. Still that act of restoration covered him with glory—we were almost inclined to forget, or to endeavour to forget, hiS Italian policy on perusing the articles of the con stitution, and remarking at their conclusion the signa ture of FERDINAND of Lorraine. Our admiration for his conduct in that particular is, however, consider ably diminished by his recent acts; for by them we are induced to think that, as we have already said, it•was cowardice, and not liberality, which prompted the liberal measure of the EMPEROR. It is to be hoped that the seclusion of Inspruck will awaken him to a sense of the peculiar duties of his position. This is a matter which concerns himself more than it does the Austrians ; for, according as he advances or retro grades in the cause of liberalism, it depends whether he shall continue Emperor of AUSTRIA, or follow METTERNICH into perpetual exile. To him, therefore, his future conduct will be of momentous import. To the Austrians it will be comparatively immaterial their rights will inevitably be secured, and their liberties established, for when the inipu se of liberal ism is once given to an entire nation, it cannot be put down by force of arms, nor arrested Ly the manifesto of King or Emperor. We have never been amongst the advocates of the extensive and indiscriminating system of emigration so urgently demanded by a portion of the landed proprietors of Ireland. Those gentlemen, in sub mitting their schemes for the expatriation of millions of their countrymen, appeared to be actuated but by one feeling, viz., an anxiety to clear their respective estates from the hordes of wretched occupants, at the smallest possible outlay to themselves, without the slightest consideration for the future welfare of the miserable outcasts, or of the country to which they might be driven for the shelter and support denied to them in their native land. They would fain cast upon the national Exchequer the greater part of the necessary expenditure, and, as they might be called on to contribute some portion thereof from their private resources in return for the peculiar and personal ad vantages thereby afforded, they prefer the shortest and least expensive voyage, and thus " the United States," or the British dominions in North America, are recc.mniended as the localities to which the flood . Of emigration should chiefly be directed. In this respect they are influenced by the cheap rate at which the voyage acro-.s the Atlantic can be made • but th ey d o not consider that already well-founded ' v n e e b t eoen who, the multitud es put landed Lw e . d a r o d n b y theiro u our shores colon n s t d s i o s lve c n a eaa u c i sl c l a cue o l e P a u a i bna n a l nd t i endotefsfn have hde destitution, efficient thrieri auxiliaries, thresholds place c e toohefn lhavingonly badb o riur b gi v e ha e td n ep de f o u s t I n i n d . fact, the labour mark e t was andisoyv erstoc ked, em ploy could not e as il y b e obtained,unless the emigrants brought with th em the m andeane of port for a considerable period, t h e scene of distresssup was only changed, and the unhappy victims endured sufferings at the other side of the Atlantic similar to those by which they had been afflicted previous to their departure from their native land. The autho rities of the United States have already adopted the most stringent regulations by which the debarkation of the class which it would be the interest of this country to send abroad, is practically prohibited; while, as we have already stated, indignant remon strances have been addressed from the Canadas at the cruelty and injustice of which we have been guilty. If, therefore, emigration is to be at all en couraged by the Legislature, it must be to other lands to which these grave objections do not apply, and where the arrival and settlement of the emigrant wilt be alike beneficial to himself, to the former in habitants, and to the mother country. These points should all be maturely considered ; if they can be united, then a moderate amount of emigration may be sanctioned, as auxidary to, but not as a .substitute for, the full development of all our internal resources, more particularly of those to be derived from the re clamation of our waste lands. Our Australian colonies undoubtedly possess pe • culler advantages in all these respects. The first cost of sending out emigrants will undoubtedly be greater in conse( juence of the distance, but the expense will cease thi very moment of their arrival. Immediate employs lent can be obtained at ample wages, in ad dition ti) rations on a scale of abundance to which our tat iourers are unfortunately utter Strangers. Food :that is now actually wasted from want of con sumers may be converted to useful purposes. It is said that in 1847 no less than 64,000,0001bs of meat were lost in New South Wales, while myriads were starving at home ; and with all -Allis superabundance of provisions and every other comfort that could be desired, there is a sad deficiency of the labourers who could so easily be provided for. It is asserted that corn is shed for want of reapers, and wool either lost or greatly dete riorated .in value for want of shearers, and petitions from every part of the colony have called for a sup ply tf that labour which is so urgently required, and which can be so handsomely remunerated. It should also be borne in mind that on sending parties to New South Wales, we are . creating e x t ens i ve consumers of our home manufactures. Australia imports from this country to the value of from 71. to 101. for every inhabitant, while Canada averages but 11. 155., and the United States but ss. Bd. per head. The great market that would be created for the productions of our native industry by Australian emigration should not be forgotten in the calculation of its comparative advantages. While Mr. 13ovn and others have fairly placed those advantages before the public, the most efficient auxiliary has entered the field to point out the manner in which the transit may be effected. Lieutenant WAGRORN, R.N., the enterprising and intelligent originator of the overland route to India, has } üblished a pamphlet appropriately dedicated to Earl GREY, in which that nobleman's attention is directed to the proposition which comes so peculiarly within the sphere of his duties as Colonial Secretary. The name of WAGHORN is sufficient to secure any suggestion emanating from such a quarter for respect and consideration. He is pre-eminently entitled to the national gratitude for what he has already effected in so materially reducing the time within which we can communicate with our Indian dominions. His discovery saved the country very considerable expenditure during the recent wars in Sinde and the Punjaub. Although unrewarded for his extraordinary services, he still applies his vigorous intellect to new prqjects for the benefit of his native land. We shall not now attempt to set forth the nature of his suggestions. The paper is but a short one, and we trust that every person interested in the question will make himself fully acquainted with its contents. SPAIN. Madrid papers of the 26th have arrived. Colonel iiiitsTow, after suffering thirty-six hours' close imprisonment, was sent off on the 25th, in charge of the police. We believe that the British subjects in Spain have to thank the mis chievous meddling of Lord STANLEY and. the stolid, stupid faith of Lord ABERDEEN in the infallibility of M. GUIZOT for their present unpleasant po, , ition. We trust, however, that Lord PALMERSTON will not suffer an hour to elapse without demanding reparation from the Spanish Government. In such a case, a British Admiral would be the best negotiator, and the explanations and reparations should oe made on the quarter-deck of a British line of- battle ship.

We have received Greek journals to the 19:h. The insurrection under FERROUS still continues ; all the efforts of the Government to put Lim down have Proved useless, and he was, according to the last accounts, advancing towards Phylia. The Greek Government, iu order to deft ay the expenses of the civil war, has taken as a Ivan 60,000 drachmas out of the funds, arising from legacies left by various per sons for the education of the youth of Greece, and deposited at the bank. The health of M. IIIUSSURUS is said to be improved. The balls had been safely extracted from his arm. The garrison of Athens had been so reduced by the sending off of troops to the eastern part of the kingdom, that the internal ser vice of the city was performed by the Urban Guard. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Paris continued perfectly tranquil, and the deci sions of the 1-Vseinbly on the previous day, both as regarded the measure for breaking up the Ateliers kiationaux, and that for providing for the defence of the Assembly itself, appear to have given great satis faction. The amendment proposed to the Ministerial project for the defence of the Assembly by M. Du- FAURE, which enables the President in every case of emergency to issue his orders to the military force for the protection of the Assembly, leaving it at the same time to the President himself to judge of what should or what should not be considered a case of emergency, was passed unanimously. The adoption of this measure will, we should hope, effectually pre vent a recurrence of the mistakes of the 15th of :slay. M. Louts BLANC has refused to serve on the Committee on the labour question, on the ground that as it is a question which he perfectly understands he needs no further instruction on the subject, while there are other political questions which he does nut so thoroughly understand, but to the study of which in other Committees he wishes to devote his time. From this it would appear as if M. Louis BLANC considered the Net:onal Assembly rather as a school for the instruction of sucking politicians than as the legislature of a great nation, composed of men quali fied for the performance of the mission with which their fellow -countrymen have entrusted them. FLOTTE, the cook, who was deeply engaged in the conspiracy of the 15th of May, has been arrested at a house in the Rue St. Honore, and conveyed to Yin. cennes. The Executive Commission of the Government has presented to the Assembly a report on the affairs of the 15th of May. It is a mere dry narrative of the occurrences of the 12th, 13!h, 14th, and 15th of May, and throws no light whatever on the authors of the attempt of the 15th of May, or en their mo• The instructions of the Minister of Public Works respecting the workmen in the Ateliers Nationaux, which M. EMILE . TuomA.s refused, it is said, to obey, were as follows : "Sir,—l have the honour to announce to you that the Commission of Executive Government has just adopted the following measures with regard to the Ateliers Natiousux:-1. The unmarried workmen, aged from 18 to 25, shall be invited to enrol themselves under the flag of the Republic, to complete the different corps of the army. Those who may refuse to subscribe voluntary engagements shall bo immediately siruck out .of the lists d'embrigadement of the Ateliers Na tiona.ux...2. The number of workmen of Paris shall be ascertained without, delay. This measure shall be carried out conjointly by the mairies, and by the ernplos 43 of the central bureau of the At4liers Nationaux, de legated fur that purpose. The workmen who can not regularly prove that they have resided in Puris six months before the 24th of May shall be dismissed, and shall cease to receive wages and assistance. 3. The lists of workmen drawn up by arrondissements and by profession shall be deposited •in a special office, established as nearly as possible in the centre of Paris, and shall be communicated to masters by the emplu) és of the alministration ; the masters may require shall sucht r ee necessary Atelierss be er number y iNntottaithe eiz u u f rx: ts r h u u e n:c s k e p workmen oelf r e a n s t th u e a y t tn n a o y f d th ee e m ir out 14 buurs these w h o may refuse to follow. them workmen gen ehw er h a o l ltnista)o,f notthe be comprised in the cases of exclusion provided for by the preceding articles, and who temporarily inky continue to form pert of the Ateliers Nationaux, tshbeall dbey. eobligs.

I invite 3 ou, Sir, to Occupy yoursel!, as soun as possible, in the applica tion of the measures settled by the Commission of Exe cutive Government. You will cause to be prepared the necessary lists to distinguish the workmen who, on ac count of their age, must enrol themselves in the armies of the Republic ; those whim there may be reason to send to their respective departments, in default of their being abfe to prove a regular residenc e o f s i x mouths; those who may be demanded and t a k en i nto work by the masters; and, finally, those who can be in corporated into brigades of workmen destined for the great works of the provinces anu bahlieue of P ar i s . I will make known to you tomorrow the pla t) i n which the lists of workmen of different professions not excluded from the Ateliers Nationaux,in virtue of the first two measures, will be deposited and communi cated to the masters. You will have to name two or three ernploy6i of your Administration, who will remain permanently in that office to place before the masters the lists of workmen they may demand. I leave to you the task of informing the public, by means of placards and advertisements in the newspapers, of the day on rwhich masters may present themselves at the office. You will understand that this measure is one of ex treme urgency, and that not a single moment must be lost in executing it. I attach great importance to the clause which re-establishes piece-work as the basis of wages—you should immediately carry it into practice. I will hereafter send you instructions on the organiza tion of the brigades of workmen, which ought to be sent to the departments." The Presse says the petition from the Ateliers Na i tionaux to the National Assembly was signed by no more than 8,000 or 10,000, out of 110,000 or 115 000. The Courrier de Lyon of Sunday says : " The men employed in the national workshops of Miribel have, atter the example or the Voraces of Lyons, placed in confinement three magistrates, the Procureur o f t h e Republic, the Juge n'lnst ruc ti on , an d t h e Regis trart „. of Ti6roux. 'lle cau s e o f thi s a c t was that thus g entleteen had proceeded to Miribel, on a warrant issued from the courts of law of Lyons, to search for arms. About 500 men assembled, and, preventing the officers from acting, seized on them and locked them up in the guard-hou,e.

It appears that the idea of a loan has been abandoned. The sub-committee appointed to examine theprojet de loi presented by the Government for the re pur chase of the railways by the state, has resolved unanimously that it will report to the Assembly in favour of the rfjection of the Government propo sitions. The Committee on the expenses of the Assembly resolved that the salary of 80,000 francs a year, hitherto given to the President, should be abolished, and that the President should henceforth be allowed only 4,000 francs per n:onth. The Questors, who had 10,000 francs a year, are to have 500 francs a month. BOURSE—PARIS, WEDNESDAY, MAY :31. TintEE O'CLOCK.—The fail in the French R , ntes, which commenced on Monday and continued yester day, made notable progress to-day. Throughout the day the offers to sell were incessant, but r o purchasers were to be found. This tall is attributed partly to the bad state of the Bank, partly to the general uneasi ness, and in a considerable degree to the realization of profits by those who were speculating for the rise. The depr,!;ion in the Bank of France is very consider able. The Bons, du Tresor are at 29 discount, which is a considerable improvement on yesterday. Vielle Mon tagnes have fallen to 1,980'., having been at One period of the day at 1,950`. The response de primes was de clared in the Three per Cents. at -18 e., and in the Five per Cents. at 69f.

After listening to the explanations of M. JULES BASTIDE, the Foreign Minister, on the subject of the affairs of Naples, to which city a special agent had been dispatched to represent the Republic, The PRESIDENT rose and addressed the Assembly at follows : I have a most important communication to make to the Assembly, and must call on the members to observe the strictest silence.—(Movement of attention.) I have to present to you a formal demand from the law officers of the Republic for authorization to proceed again-t one of the members of this high Assembly--M. Louis Blanc—for high crimes and inisdemeatiours—(Great agitation, and then the deepest silence.) This applica tion is signed by M. Portalis, Proeureur-General at the Court of Appeal at Paris, and by M. Laudrin, Procu reur-General at the Court of Premiere Instance of the Seine, and bears date " Palais de Justice, May 31, 1848." It declares that from the facts which have come to light from the testimony of various witnesses, and from the declaration of M. Louis Blanc himself when examined in that capacity, it would appear that he took an active part in the invasion of the Assembly on May 15, by the crowd. By his own avowal, he spoke twice to the people, once from a window outside when with Barges and Albert, and again in the Salle des Pas Pardus;. In par ticular he made use of these words, " I congratulate you on having to-day estabished your right of petition; now it can never be taken from you. Without his proceeding further, the requisitory of the law officers says, there was strung presumption that M. Louis Blanc had voluntarily taken part in the invasion and oppression of the National Assembly, which constituted the crime of attcntat pro vided for in Art. 87 of the penal code.

The discussion on the resolution of RAVEAUX (the commencement of which we gave in The Sun of yes terday) continued until eight o'clock of the 27th, when at last the Members of the Left adopted the following resolution proposed by M. WERNER, of Coblentz, which was carried without a division : " The German National Assembly, as the emanation of the will and eh-ction of the German nation, for the founding of the unity and political freedom of Girrtnany declares—that all .points (hestimmungen) of individual German constitutions which do not autee with the gene ral constitution to be formed by the Assembly, are only to be regarded as binding in as tar us they are in a::corii ance with the future constitution, without prejudice to their efficiency until that is formed" (nur nuch tnusi , guhe des Lit:tern atv gultig zu betrachten sind, i/rer bii duhin hestundtnen Withs clinked imbeschudtt). By this resolution the German Parliament of Frankfort asserts its paramount supremacy over the constituent a , semblies of the other states.

The late Viceroy of Lombardy and the Archduke JOHN have joined the EMPEROR at Inspruck. It is said that the Court is inclined to side with the Bohemian party, and to favour the reconiriun of Slavunian nationality , in that kingdom, in which case the whole of Germany would declare against the EMPEROR and his Court. PRUSSIA. On the night of the 27th there were a series of charivaris given in Brrlin to the supporters of the Prince of PRUSSIA. The patrols of the Burgher Guard, however, soon succeeded in restoring tran quillity. About two A.M., however, the drums and bugles called to arms, and the whole city, especially in the quarters contiguous to the Linden, was roused. The Burgher Guard hastened to their places of rendez vous ; the windows were crammed with anxious liokers-on, and the doors filled with no less anxious inquirers. At length, after waiting an hour for orders, notice was sent to the different battalions and companies, stating that " the general march" had been beaten, in consequence of a false order, bearing General Ascuorp's signature, brought to the staff officer upon duty, to desire the drums and bugles to sound the alarm. In a word, the whole affair was a hoax practised on the Burgher Guard and citizens, who one and all gladly retired again to rest. A strict investigation will be instituted, and t he author of this .unpardonable practical joke will, if discovered, be punished. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. The Allow Mercury contains a letter from Cheva lier BUNSEN to the elective directors of the Schleswig district, No. 4, in which he thanks them for tile honour which they have conferred upon him by electing him a representative for that district, and urging that, from the present state of the sego tiations on the Schleswig-Holstein question, it will be impossible for him to repair immediately to Frankfort. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, MAY 27.—We have just ascertained from unquestionable authority that, on the 24th of the month, the son of General WRANGEL arrived at Berlin to present an armistice which General WRANGEL has concluded with the command ing officer of the Danish troops. The basis of the armistice is said to he, the German troops are to retire beyond the Schlei, the Danes promise to quit North Schleswig, and to restore the ship 3 under embargo. It is generally believed that this armistice will be ratified. The son of General WRANGEL re turned from Berlin yesterday afternoon, an 6 im mediately proceeded by the Kiel Railway to the Prussian head-quarters, being the bearer, as he hi►ri ,elt asserted, of amicable di:patches.—Hainburgh Borsenhalle, May 27. BRUS ELS. MAY 30.—His Royal Highness the Prince of PRUSSIA arrived here about one o'clock by a special train from Ostend. Two of the royal carriages were in waiting to receive the Prince, who alighted at the hotel of the Prussian Ambassador, where a guard of honour has been placed. General CRUTICEAIBOURG, aide-de-camp of his MAJESTY, is in attendance upon the Prince. In the evening there was a grand dinner at the Palace in honour of the Prince, who wore the simple dress of a citizen. Many distinguished persons were invited to meet his Royal Highness, who intends to quit Belgium for Holland, and will embark for Am sterdam to•morrow. L'lndependance announces the recal from Paris of the Prince DII LIGNE, and his replacement by a Minister Plenipotentiary. Under the reign of LOUIS PHILIPPE, France was represented at Brusels by an Ambassador ; that office is now del gated to a Minis ter Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary. SWEDEN. The official journal of Stockholm of the 18th pub lishes the following important declaration made by the Swedish Government on the 9th to Prussia, with respect to the Schleswig and Holstein question : "The events which have just taken place in Denmark, and the entrance of the troops of his Majesty the Kin.- of Prussia, tied of different other states of the Germanic (on federation into the Duchy of Schleswig have not failed to awaken the attention and solicitude of H. M. the King of Sweden and Norway. Considering the in:pre scriptible right which the united kingdoms have to participate in the re solutions which may be taken with respect to the affairs of the North, and considering the dangers which may arise for the p o li t i ca l quifibrium guarantei d by treaties, in cons( quence .e the attack now directed against Deemark, the King thinks right to make known to the Royal Government 01 Prussia his opinion on the present Mate of things, and to declare to it openly and frankly the manner of acting which his M je,tv, after the de sire manifested by his Majesty the King of Di remark, intend.. to adopt, end which, in the political complica tions of the moment, he considers:. founded on right. It does not belong to the King to decide the dispute relative to the Duchy of Schleswig. Toe passession of that ceuntry was guaranteed to Denmark by other powers, which have already offered their mediation to remove the differences which unfortunately have arisen, and it is only in concert with those powers that his Majesty will decide on this question. But in case the dispute should not be cie ti.ied to the Duchy of e;chleswig, it an irruption of troops of the teermanic Coniederution in other provinces of Deernark be to be feared, the King could not tee with indifference such sit attack on the independence of a nei,,tronuritig ally, and his Majesty would consider the perils may result from it to the safety and independence of his own btates a sufficient motive tor sending a corps damec to leionie, or any other island belonging to the Danish monarchy, with the order to join the forces of his Danish Mujesty, and to act in cianmon with them, With the perfectly defensive object of opposing any die embarkation of German troops. For this purpose the King is causing a squadron to leave Carl:.- crone, and his Milesty is causing troops to be assem bled on the frontiers. Circumstances alone will deter mine the instructions to be given to these troops, and to what extent they will be embarked for the states of his Majesty the King of Denmark. These measures, dictated by solicitude for the independence of the united kingdoms, and the justice of' which cannot be denied, have no offensive character, and the Royal Government of Prussia may convince itself that they have only been adopted after events had taken a development which no longer permitted the united king dams to remain quiet spectators of the deplorable strug gle, which approached nearer and nearer their own fron tiers, and influenced their must important relations. The King sincerely desires that the dispute which has arisen between Denmark and Germany may be ter minated by an amicable compromise, and his Majesty has not lost the hope of seeing the good understanding which is indispensably necessary to the reciprocal interests of the two countries re-established between them. Thu King will always be ready to co-operate in bringing about a pacific reconciliation founded on equitable bases. To attain this object, it would be necessary that hostili ties should cease on one part and the other, and that ne gotiations should be opened, under the mediation of the powers, which by their situation (a their political relations might have the desire and the right to intervene toprepere the re-establishment of a reciprocal good understanding. The king, in cawing the pre,,ent declaration to be sent to the Government of his Majesty the King of Prussia, believes he may express the hope that it will, through the kind intervention of that Government, be communi cated to the other powers members of the Germanic Confederation. ITALY. NAPLES. Letters have been received from Naples to the 20th of May. The city was in a completely disorga nized state, and continued in possession or the mili tary and the mob, who were encouraged to plunder the houses of the respectable citizens by the KING and the aristocracy.
