LATEST FROM IRELAND. [BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.] DUBLIN, SUNDAY EVENING. The accounts received by the trains from Kilkenny, Carlow, Cork, Cashel, Tipperary, Thurles, &c., this afternoon, report everything as perfectly quiet. About ten o'clock on Saturday night the 83d Regiment left Kilkenny for the relief cf Lieutenant Trant and his party, with about sixty constables, but returned this morning, not having heard any tidings of them. (From the Times.) Nye have received by electric telegraph, fromiLiver pool, accounts from our own correspondent in Dublin, who informs us that our reporter, writing from Will mount, Ballinghy, on Saturday night, states that rebellion, which actually commenced on that morn ing, had been decidedly checked by fifty or sixty police. On the common at Bonlagh, near Ballinghy, a collision took place. Three of the insurgents were shot, and several wounded. Smith O'Brien, who headed in person, had fled completely deserted by the rebels towards Urling forA, and it was expected he would be made prisoner before night. Doheny, Reilly, and Dillon were also in the field ; the latter had been killed. On the departure of our express from Dublin all remained quiet in the city. No account of Smith O'Brien's arrest had yet been received. CLONMEL, JULY 29. Clonmel, the chief town of the county Tippe rary, is still quiet; no actual outbreak has yet oc curred hero or in the neighbourhood, but excite ment and alarm continue almost unabated. The pro clamations from Dublin Castle, offering rewards for the apprehension of Smith O'Brien, Doheny, Meagher, and J. B. Dillon, arrived this morning, and were posted up in all directions, without hind rance or disturbance. The general feeling is, that the Government having taken such a decided stand, a few days will reveal whether we are to have an insur rection or not. The leaders have cast themselves upon Tipperary, where their only hops seems to lie; Smith O'Brien within this week has appealed to the clubs at Carrick-on-Suit, twelve miles hence, the greatest stronghold of clubbism in Ireland; told them if they would stand by him he would defy the Government, and lead them himself; the majority responded to the call, but the president wisely in formed him that Carrick should not he made the battle-field of the revolution, and that he should put himself upon the devotion of Dublin or Cork, which were the proper quarters in which to begin operations. Since then, he (Dillon) and Doheny have been hovering round us, one day at Slie 'enamon, another at I\lullinahone, and so on. On Tuesday last O'Brien and a body of men went to the police barracks of the latter place, and demanded admission, that they might gain possession of the arms contained therein, which the sergeant refused, saying he would die first, and wo u ld defend it to the last; no attack, ho wever, was made, the insurgents not being desirous of a rencontre ce with such stern sin stuff; the sergeant has received two chevr ons and 201., and has also been promoted to the rank of head constable ; the other men who were in the bar rack at the same time have each been rewarded by two chevrons and 51. Yesterday a troop of the Bth Hussars were passing through Killenaule, a small town f i f teen miles to the N.W. of this ;on their approach large body g e body of the rebels there, headed by a O'Brien and Dillon, turned out to mee t them, un der the impression that they had warrants for the arrest of their leaders ; a barricade was thrown up at each end of the town ; O'Brien mounted the top of one, armed with a pistol and a pike, and inquired the object of the soldiers ; he was told they were merely passing through; he then asked the officer, on his THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, s JULY 31, 1818. honour as a gentleman, was he come to take him ; th officer said no, he held no warrant for the apprehen sion of any man, and that if he did he would not be afraid to do his duty, notwithstanding his opposition. The barricades were then cleared away, and the Hussars passed through, after which it is said that an unsuccessful attack was made on the constabulary. The rebel chiefs still remain about Killeßaule, Fethard, and Ballingarry—perhaps the most lawless district in Ireland. It is the current report that they will not surrender without making all the resistance in their power. The preparations made by the authorities here are extraordinary; the immense body of horse and foot soldiers and constabulary are kept incessantly to their duty ; not one man in every ten has got a night's rest within the last week ; the pensioners are all under arms and in barrack. Some hundreds of tents are crowded into the barrack-square, to afford accom modation to them, and to the increased number of regular troops, for which they would not otherwise have room. Picquets of cavalry and infantry, with a constable as guide, patrol the town and vicinity all hours of the night : a large number of specials have also been sworn in, and, it is said, will be equipped with muskets and accoutrements, under the con troul and direction of Colonel Dundas. We fancy the London specials would not much like their duty on some nights (from eleven to two o'clock) they were marching about almost uninterruptedly, and on one occasion, on an alarm being given that the rebels were coming, though unarmed, they rushed to meet them. A number of field pieces of artillery are expected here this evening. I shall take care to inform you instantly should anything of importance occur ; meanwhile I have dispatched a reporter to the scene of the expected outbreak—the place where the leaders are at present located, where the people are most likely to commit acts of violence and bloodshed. WATERFORD, JULY 29. Waterford is at present* tranquil. The Tweed, the Frolic, the Stromboli, and the Rhadamanthus, lie in the river. The 2d division of the 3d Buffs landed yesterday and encamped at Milward's-fields, but in the evening 200 men. marched thence to PiMown, and to-day the remaining portion marched to the same destination. Five hundred Marines, with some Marine Artillery, arrived here in the Alban yesterday evening from the fleet at Cove ; they encamped to-day in the tents occupied by the Buffs, and were played into their quarters by the depot band of the 7th Fusi leers ; they brought three field pieces, and to-morrow 300 men of the same corps are to arrive. The pro clamations offering rewards for the apprehension of Doheny, Meagher, Dillon, and Smith O'Brien were posted here to-day. Here the clubs number over 2,000 men : the Felon Club alone numbers 900 men. Ten of the Buffs were put in prison yesterday for shouting for repeal; so states our local journal to day, and I believe it to be true, having heard it yes terday from several persons.—Chronicle. The Irish rebellion has been nipped in the bud. The vigorous and decisive measures adopted by the Government have struck terror to the hearts of the disaffected, and restored confidence to the loyal inha bitants of the country. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN has too late discovered how little dependence can be placed upon the cheers and plaudits of a mob, and how great a difference there is between the " sayings " and "doings" of the multitude. That unfortunate gen tleman now finds himself deserted by those whom he vainly supposed to have been devoted to his cause and prepared to sacrifice, even life itself, in resistance to the authorities. A few men of desperate fortunes, who have perilled their all upon "the hazard of the die," have followed him in his wild cru sade, but the great body of the people have listened to the advice of their pastors, and refused to bring down certain ruin upon themselves and families, by committing themselves to so hopeless an attempt as that which he desired to make. At this moment he is skulking from place to place as a fugitive, rather than as the leader of an imposing and formidable force. He cannot long evade the active pur suit that will doubtless be instituted to obtain the reward of 5001. offered for his apprehen sion, and his capture will remove even the semblance of resistance to the constituted authorities. We trust that it may be effected without bloodshed—that his offences may not be aggravated by the crime of mur der being added thereto. From the accounts that have been received he txprare to be reduccd to a ital.. of almost mental imbecility, and to be so wholly pros trated by the downfal of all his cherished hopes and expectations as to justify the Rev. Mr. COCKERAN— whose exertions in the cause of order have been be yond all praise—in styling him " a madman ;" indeed, ere this he may be better fitted for the restraints of a lunatic asylum than for the hulks or gaols of the country. His attempt on the police barracks at Mullinahone, his summons to the scanty force by which it was garrisoned, consisting of but seven constables, three of whom were but just recovering from fever, and his subsequent attempt to induce them to fraternize with the people, and subsequently giving a night to consider his proposition, would seem to warrant this supposition. Whatever may be his condition, how ever, whether sane or insane, it is absolutely essential that his career should be checked, that he should be speedily brought within the power of the law, and not be suffered to maintain even an appearance of de fiance to the Government. The other leaders for whose apprehension rewards have been offered do not appear as yet to have com mitted themselves quite so deeply. They are stated " to have been guilty of treasonable practices ;" but it is not added, as in Mr. 013mEN's case, that " they have openly appeared in arms against her MA JESTY." In addition to Messrs. MEAGHER, DIL- LoNr, and DOHENT, for each of whom a re ward of 3001. has been offered, a notification has appeared in the line and Cry, that eleven other persons charged with being concerned in treasonable practices, have absconded, and all persons are warned against incurring the penalties prescribed by the Act for the better prevention of crime and outrage in Ireland by harbouring or sheltering them, or any of them. This list includes the names of Mr. FRANCIS MORGAN (one of the solicitors to the corporation of Dublin), and Messrs. DARCY MAGEE, JOSEPH BRE.. NAN, DEVIN REILLY, S. J. MEANT, HENRY SHAW, and several others of less note. Several captures have also been effected, the most important of which is that of Mr. JAMES LALOR, one of the chief contributors to the Irish Felon, whose instructions for a guerilla warfare, and the most approved methods for the destruction of the military, almost equalled those of Mr. MITCHEL him self in audacity and atrocity. Mr. LALOR was the person who got up the celebrated Holy-cross meeting last year. He was arrested in the county of Tipperary on Thursday last. It was said that Father KENTON, whose truculent speeches and writings attained him an unenviable notoriety some time since, having the fear of the law before his eyes, refused to shelter his quondam coadjutor. The weekly organs of trea son have also been suppressed with the strong arm. The Nation and the Irish Felon have been seized, the forms disarranged, the type, stamps, and other materials taken possession of, and the men employed upon the premises taken into custody. The further dissemination of treasonable opinions and seditious sentiments, which lashed the people into such pas sionate excitement, will thus be prevented. In the meantime the Government have not re laxed in the energetic exertions with which the crisis was encountered. A powerful military and naval force have been collected together, the latter under the command of " the Hero of Acre," Sir CHARLES NAPIER, is stationed in Cork harbour, earliestwh cruisers are sailing about the coast to bring t he intel ligence of any disturbance. The armywi HllAfoßrptlaitEh, be placed under the command of Lord who volunteered his services in the handsomest manner, justly conceiving that a soldier should at all he times be ready to act in any capacity in which may be useful to his country. The vast experi ence and military /skill of the Noble Viscount render him peculiarly qualified for the command in the disturbed districts. It may appear that such precautions and so great an amount of preparation are more than can possibly be required, but the Go verm-I:lent have wi se ly reso l ve d t o l eave no h o p e t o th e insurgents, and the display of so efficient and over whelming a force will probably have the effect of preventing partial outbreaks, which, although they would speedily be suppressed, might occasion the destruction of much property and the loss of many valuable lives. It is in mercy, therefore, not only to the friends of order and of the British connexion, but to the misguided insurgents themselves that these imposing demonstrations bare taken place, and eventually it will appear a wise economy to have spared no expenditure in the putting down, with the utmost vigour, the incipient rebellion. It is surely unnecessary for us to declare that we are no Fourierists, no Saint Simonians, no Commu nists, no Socialists, no dreamers of the dreams of a perfectly equitable distribution of property. We are not at least any one of these in the general accepta tion of the terms as symbols of peculiar schemes of political economy. We are no more disposed to place implicit reliance on the philosophic axioms of CHARLES FoURIER than we are to repose an uncon ditional credence in the weird visions of the eloquent but fanatical SWEDENBORG. To our judgment there is less of the impracticable in the ravings of the Mormonite Prophet than in the speculations of SAINT-SIMoN. And, with all deference to M. Louis BLANC, we con sider the deductions of his Organization du Travail as equally apochryphal with the doctrines inculcated in the Talmud. Nevertheless, while we assert this much, we must acknowledge at once that we believe the wisdom of the yet undeveloped project—that project which is variously christened by the names we have already enumerated—to be very imperfectlyunderstood. The intentions of the promoters and originators of this great system of social regeneration we believe to be, in a very great measure, imperfectly apprehended ; and the ultimate tendencies of their aspirations we think is, in a hundred instances, grossly misrepre• sented. Of course, in speaking thus, we by no means intend to become the apologists of Citizen BLANQUI or of Citizen BARBES, or of any other of those political adventurers, whose want of principle is only ex ceeded by their madness and inhumanity. What we are solicitous to express, however, is a con viction that there are many sincere men among these eccentric and dangerous visionaries —that there is a latent truth under all these falsities of logic—that the philosophy of government, such as it was conceived to be in the middle of the eighteenth century (exaggerated as it was by the Sentiment of RossxAu, and distorted as it was by the Egotism of Ronesrtertzte), is not in reality so wholly repulsive or execrable as the fears of the majority would lead one to imagine. Sodalite must undoubtedly be discarded at once as altogether beyond the frail capacities of man. A society of archangels and seraphims might be linked together by bonds of that celestial character, but mere mortals are scarcely fitted for a mechanism of arrangement so marvel lously inflexible and unelastic. Putting aside, therefore, all such chimerical notions as that which is euphoniously termed Sodalite, the root of the great social problem of the age, remains, bare before us— undeniable in its nakedness, and so stubborn and substantial in its nature as to set at defiance the blows, and the contempt, and the sophistry of the millions of Conservatism. We allude, of course, to the ques tion as to which:may be the wisest method for the en couragement of Production, and which may be the best means for reconciling the antagonistic claims of Labour and Capital, of Property and In dustry. It is altogether too late in the day to dream for one moment of shirking this vast and imperative problem, the solution of which has long since become the most stupendous necessity of our generation. Something must be done, and that at once, towards its solution. To attempt to stay that solution would not only lead to the convulsion of the whole framework of society, it would render a great and universal chaos of classes inevitable, it would cast property tothe winds, it would paralyze industry, it would make capital the spoil of demagogues, and transform labour into the despair and the bugbear of humanity. No; the enigma must be answered. There is no longer any doubt of that. The ouvriers of Paris, the unemployed workmen of Berlin, the lazzaroni of Naples, the brawlers of Rome, the demo crats of Vienna, the Republicans of Ireland, the Chartists of England, all clamour for the answer to the grand question of the day. And they will have it. Only see what have been the evil consequences of the non-responsive system. In France the Provi- sional Government might have gone pretty far to wards the settlement of the problem, but for the awful debt which had been hung about the neck of the young Republic--the parting curse or a corrupt and infamous despotism. That debt compelled the Executive Commission to throw up the beautiful and humane scheme of the Ateliers Nationaux, almost before its preliminary benefits could be developed. And what was the re sult ?—the streets of Paris ran with blood. In Na ples, again, the wrong answer was given, and the effect was nearly identical—the palaces were sacked and the population butchered. Berlin has revealed the same wild vision of civic insurrection, and Vienna, in like manner, though with more fury and less mas sacre. In Rome the people are following the example of their contemporaries—the last accounts informing us that the Chamber of Deputies has been invaded and occupied by the mob, just as the French Chamber of Deputies was captured on the 24th of February. In England the solution of the question has been post poned—witness this the rejection of the motion of Mr. HUMS. While in Ireland the patchwork legis• lation in regard to landlord and tenant has conduced at last to its present deplorable condition. Again, and yet again, therefore we proclaim it to be our conviction that these revolutions throughout Europe are solely dependent upon the discovery of some secure and philosophic plan by which the claims of Labour and Capital, of Property and Industry, may be effectually reconciled, by which Production may be so encouraged as to effect a more equitable dis tribution of its results among the various grades of the human family, by which, in fine, the machinery of government may be adapted to the variable wants of civilization, and the whole surface of society at once and permanently regenerated. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. Another victim has been added to the num ber of those already sacrificed in defending the cause of order and the Republic against the anarchists and reactionaries. General DAMESME, who, it will be recollected, underwent the operation of amputa tion, expired on Friday from the effects of the wounds received in storming one of the barricades on the 23d June. In the sitting of the Chamber on that day the law suppressing secret societies was passed by a majority of 529. There voted in favour of the Bill 629, and against it 100 only. The only papers hich express dissatisfaction at the passing of this law are the .Reforms and the Courrier Francais. The Bien Public, the organ of M. DE LAbskunriE, has the following on the subject of this new law : " We understand the protests which were yesterday made in the tribune, but we do not partake of the sad ness of the Honourable Members who appear to believe that the liberty of association is at an end. We should have voted the law, and yet we are profoundly devoted to that sacred right, which, as has been said, is a superior, permanent, imprescriptible right, which it depends on no power to ravish from us, for it comes to us from God. But it was necessary to regulate the right of association, in order to save it, and not leave it in the hands of the factious as an arm against society and the republic." In the sitting of Saturday in the National Assem bly the proposition of M. GOUDCHAUX, the Minister of Finance, for converting the funds taken from the Tontine Societies by the Provisional Government into five per cent. stock at 67, or three per cent. at 45, was passed into a law. The conduct of the Pro visional Government in seizing the funds of these societies was severely commented on by several Members, and defended not very successfully by M. CREMIEUX. At the con clusion of the discussion Al. VIVIEN en treated the Finance Minister to make an express declaration that it was contrary to law and justice to touch the funds belonging to Tontine Establishments. In reply to this appeal M. GOUDCHAUX said " Although I think the declaration needless, I never theless make it freely." The Moniteur publishes a list of the officers, non commissioned officers, and private soldiers of the line who have been promoted to higher grades in the f their gallant conduct during the late in- Legion of Honour , or received the cross in cense hLaieutbeneeannt s in u a r n r edcetriso the order; er ; eiColonelsght Chefs d'Escadron have beennade officers ; 60 officers and 104 privates have receiad the cross. In addition 163 names of privates and on•commissioned officers are honourably mentioned. The Committee on the :, 4 onstitution has already heard the delegates of the lureaux on almost all the articles of the first two chaters. Out of the fifteen bureaux only one has &oared itself in favour of a single chamber, The deleates have decided, that in order to hasten the labour of the Committee, they will give further developrrnts only on two or three questions which have ma divided opinions in the bureaux. M. MORTIMER TERNAt has presented a proposi tion declaring that " the Constitution shall not be definitively voted until ahr three readings, with at least two days' interval >etween each." The pro position has been referrer to the Committee on the regulations. The Finance Commifee has discussed M. LEON FAUC HER'S proposition relative to discount banks. After a long deliberatir4 the Committee decided on taking the matter into cnsideration, and appointed a Commission to make a rport. The Committee chargd to examine the Bill relative to the press, after havirr, heard M. SIMARD, has pro nounced in favour of to measure. The question of caution-money was aopted by eight votes to six. M. BERVILLE has beenappointed reporter. The Committee appinted to prepare the Bill on Primary Instruction as set aside the question of absolute liberty withot the control of the State. The Committee on he political prisoners has just regulated the regime fr the forts, which is now the same for all. It consits of the following allowance : —750 grammes (rathe more than a pound and a half English) of bread seond quality ; 100 grammes of best white bread for soup ; 250 grammes of meat five times a week ; 5 ) centilitres of vegetables twice a week ; and 33 cetilit res o f w i ne per day. An order in the Monitew directs the above regulations relative to food to by posted up in each room. The reports of the medied men declare the health of the prisoners to be satisactory. The Debats says " The meeting at tae Institute, in its last sitting, came to an important resdution, which we approve of. The representatives comp)sing it will not allow any Bill to pass in the National kssembly which entails a fresh ex pense, without the iiinister of Finan ce acce pti ng for mally on his o wn resions i b i lity the credit proposed, and pointing out th e meals by which ho can provide for it. The present state of our finances justifies this laudable solicitude. The muting of the :Institute, already very numerous, has taken for device conciliation in every form, and endeavours to efface in the Assembly distinc tions which might I:4 objectionable. This characteristic of the meeting of thelnstitute ought not to be forgotten: it has not always been borne in mind, and the meeting at the Institute has often been confounded with other meetings of representatives, from which this point dis tinguishes it very mtterially." The question of intervention in the affairs of Italy is•occupying the public attention in Paris at this mo ment. The partisans of the Red Republic are for immediate intervention—intervention in their vocabu lary meaning living at free quarters in Italy, with unlimited liven e to plunder alike allies or enemies ; but the great majority of the French people, of those who do not choose their associates from among the forgot:, and who Lave shown that they are strong enough to suppress both the forcats and their " red" allies, are decidedly opposed to any intervention. On this subject we find the following judicious observa tions in the Journal, a new paper, of which M. ALPHONSE KARR is the chief editor : " In seeing what passes in Italy, we ask ourselves if France will go to war? Thus far, thanks to heaven, nothing renders it necessary. War is always a mis fortune, for it draws in its train misery, incendiarism, and carnage for both parties. The happiest, the con queror, is he who has the small e st p a rt o f th ese visita tions, but he has always his share. The French have no need to prove their courage and warlike character, and the victims of cannon would never do in ten years what the example of our liberty has in four months. France cannot make a war of phantasy. She will there fore remain deaf to the voice of the men who incessantly speak of our victories, our glory, our arms, but who, after getting themsel ves re pl ace d f or money in the military service, would desire to gather laurels in Europe, and places in Africa, as a rich farmer causes his grass to be cut. The situation of our finances does not permit us to make war to please such people. We said loudly, and without fear, that this phrase must not encourage our enemies if we have any. They know well that if an unjust aggression, and insult to the honour of the country, rendered war necessary, the chiefs whom France h as given herself would only have to make an appeal to t lie x ..,:ratry; and that then all the towns and all the co, f try distri c t s w ou ld sen d innu merable armies to c ombat and victory; every mother would give her sons toy the Republic, and carry to the Mint her bracelets and. rings." Some disturbance s i ere lately thou g ht lik e ly a t St. Diver in consequen of th e di sso l ut i on of the national workshops, and the a upuncement of a 5 sous b a nqu e t at midnight; all papiefttVff with perfect tr anqu illi t y, t h e rAci until after the vintage. At e g v e a r , c 1 j e o o u r ; izsturbances have taken place Mertrud,banquet b h e o i w n in consequence of the men 'employed in the harvest wanting to exclude all competitors, except on certain conditions. The officers of justice and some troops re paired there on the 25th, and tranquillity was restored after some arrests had been made. Rumours were rife in Paris on Sunday, that an Austrian army of twenty thousand men had entered Lombardy after defeating the Piedmontese army. It was also rumoured that the King of SARDINIA and the Pons had both applied to the French Republic for assistance. These rumours, however, could be traced to no authentic source. Accounts from Algiers ;epresent that colony as being in a most deplorable condition. Almost all the independent colonists have quitted, so that the territory is now only occupied by the army and the natives. The latter are represented as being ripe for revolt. There were a good many speculators at the Sun day Bourse, in the passage of the Opera, but no bu siness or any kind was done, as all parties were unwilling to enter upon new transactions until the determination of the Government on the affairs of Italy should be known. The three days of Jaly have passed this year with out any fetes, and almost without notice. BUSINEaS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, JULY 29. Boulogne and Amiens, VA —Namur and Liege, 4 3 4 Orleans and Bourdeaux, 2. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 24th and 25th have arrived , The Directors of the Bank of San Fernando have applied to the Government to annul the engagements subsisting between them. If the execution of these engagements be enforced, the Bank will, it is said, be compelled to stop payment. The Foment() of Barcelona, of the 41st, says that on the 19th Colonel Ruiz succeeded in dislodging CABRERA and 200 men from the mountain of San Sagimon. lle had afterwards an engagement with some trabucaire bands, of which he slew four and wounded several. The BarceZones says that CARRERA was at Vilanova de Sau on the 19th, but on hearing that a column of the QUEEN'S troops was near the town, he retired towards San Julian, after having obtained rations for his men. The Bolsa was closed on the 25th. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. MM. CAMMAUSEN, BECKERAUTII, AtTERSWALD, and other distinguished Frankfort Prussian deputies, have arrived in Berlin to consult with the Government upon the important subject of Prussian-German policy. It is the general opinion that it is utterly impossible for Prussia to submit to the project of centralization, referred for revision to Dahlmann and consorts,: un less this project be modified and divested of its exclu sive and objectionable clauses. It appears that General WRANGEL, in rejecting the armistice, made use of these words:—" I am no longer a Prussian general, nor have I to receive my orders from a Prussian Alinistry, but I am a general of the German Confederation ; and my superior is the Ger man central power—is the Archduke JOHN." COPENHAGEN, JULY 26. The King of DENMARK left for Malmo on the 24th, and was present, accompanied by the CROWN PRINCE, and Generals OXUOLM and LE VETZAN, at a review there by the King of SWEDEN over 12,000 Swedes, whose appearance was splendid and soldier-like. The KING left for Copenhagen immediately after the review. The Danish army was reviewed at Verle, by General HEDEMANN, on the 221, when the General addressed every brigade, and commended their bravery and firmness, and claimed their further exertions in the operations about to commence. The general feeling of the soldiers and inhabitants, for of the latter great numbers had assembled, was one of joy and satisfaction. The General, by an order of the day, expressed his approbation to the soldiers of their bearing on this occasion. The Minister of War ar rived at the army on the 23d. It is proposed to send an address from here to the 1 French nation, to awaken their sympathy for the I Danish cause. M. VON HARI3OU, adjutant to the War Minister, and several companions in arm.; of General CAVAIG.• N AC, when in Algeirs, left here on Monday last, by the Rob Roy, for Paris, via London, but the particu lar object of their mission is not made public. The Russian fleet is still cruising off the Danish islands and the Swedish coast. General SCULEPPEGRELL, who is well known as one of the most distinguished of our military officers, it is reported will be appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Danish army. His energy, talents, and woll tried presence of mind, under the most difficult cir cumstances, have ensured for him the confidence of our troops. EGYPT. The Asiatic cholera has broken out at Grand Cairo, Up to the 18th July twenty-five cases had occurred TURKEY AND GREECE. By the Levant mail we have received Constan tinople journals to the 14th, and Athens journals to the 17th, both inclusively. There is nothing in the former of the slightest interest. The Courrier Athenes of the 17th says—" The new Cabinet has not yet done anything to realise the promises its friends made us. Some circulars from the Ministers of the Interior and Finance, addressed to the pre fects, calling upon them to put a stop to the abuses we have complained of, is all that has yet come forth. A considerable deficit (183,000 drachmas) has been discovered in the Treasury, upon an investigation ordered by the late Minister of Finances. The Treasurer-General has been arrested and a prosecution commenced. The budget for 1848 is at last about to be presented to the Senate. That of 1847, which this Assembly has essentially modi fied, must necessarily go back to the Chamber of De. Puties. We shall be anxious to see how the new Minister of Finances, M. TATZI-MANGIIINAS, will get himself out of the difficulty, as he, being a Sena tor, has essentially contributed to these modifications. The financial crisis, or rather the emptiness of the Treasury, continues to keep the creditors of the State in despair. An attempt has been made to negotiate a loan from the Bank, but without success." LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—The steam-ship Acadia, Captain Stone, sailed to-day for Halifax and Bost on , with the usual North American mails and a fair compli ment of passengers. The steamer Celedonia, Captain Leitch, with the homeward mails, &c., may be expected to arrive in the river on Wednesday next. She would leave now York on the 19th instant, and llallifax on the 22d. William Atter, the convict who was found guilty of the murder of his keeper, William O'Connor, will be executed at Winchester on Wednesday next, at nine o'cloclu—liampshire Independent. WALLACHIA.

The Italia announces that, in the night of the 22d, when a frightful storm was raging, the Austrians showed themselves under Villafranca, Somma-Com pagna, and Sena. They came from Verona, were 8,000 in number, and had their horses hoofs and the wheels of their carriages covered with cloth to prevent noise. Two hours before daylight the Italian army perceived them. The line from Villafranca to Sena was protected by the regiment of Savona, and 1,200 Tuscans. The Austrians captured Villafranca and attempted to burn it down ; they drove back all the line of the Italians, and killed 100 Tuscans, a general, and several officers. They then pillaged and devas tated the place. All the troops who were at Castelu novo, Monzambano, and the environs, received orders to retire to Peschiera. The Austrians advanced under that place, where they killed a great many people and devastated some villages. They afterwards withdrew on learning that a body of Piedmontese troops was ad vancing against them. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 26th, states that the Piedmontese at Villa Franca had repulsed the Austrians, but that the latter had succeeded in throw ing a bridge across the Mincio, and in penetrating into Salianza. We learn from Genoa that on the 20th the French steam-frigate Descartes had arrived in that port, bear ing to the Duke of GENOA the decree of the Sicilian Parliament, appointing him King of the SICILIANS (Re Dei Siciliani). The Risorgimento of Turin of the 26th has arrived, containing dispatches from the head• quarters of CHARLES ALBERT to the 24th. These dispatches make no allusion to the alleged Austrian victory. ROME. A PROVISIONAL GOVERNMENT FORMED. The Contemporaneo of Rome of the 20th gives a full account of the proceedings at Rome on the 19th. A large crowd occupied the immediate vicinity of the Palace of Deputies at an early hour. The sitting being opened, President SmutNi announced the re ception of a petition, bearing very numerous signa tures, to the following purport : " Citizens Deputies,— The country is in danger. Serious and still existing events in the provinces and at the confines, striking Italian nationality to the heart, attest it. It is your duty, representatives of the people, solemnly to declare it, and instantly to take those prompt and extreme measures which have been con stantly adopted for the safety of the country, by all na tions, and at all times in the extreme moments of com mon danger. The people, far from wishing to impose their will upon their deputies, protest that it is their firm intention to support by their invincible force all the energetic determinations they may embrace, being ready to defy any danger, and make the last sacrifice." The President, after thanking the people, and ex pressing the hope that the deputies would do their duty, announced that, by the constitution, the peti tion must be sent to the proper commission, and that the people's petition might be discussed by the Chamber the very next day. Deputy BUONAPARTE insisted on the immediate discussion, on the plea that the subject of the petition was the danger the country in. He was interrupted, however, by the clamour of the people in the streets. The Chamber itself was at that moment invaded by the people, who came to applaud the decision of the Chamber. After a fruit less attempt to restore order, the sitting was sus pended ; the President succeeded in persuading the people to withdraw ; and the Chamber proceeded to continue the discussion on the mobilisation of the Civic Guard. M. HERRIN', after some time, begged the Chamber to postp one th e di scuss i on , and to take into consideration what was just passing at that mo ment. The Minister of Commerce mounted the tribune, and informed the Chamber that intelligence had just reached him that the people wanted to take possession of Fort Saint Angelo, and of the gates. The minister of Police had gone in person to take effectual measures. He then proceeded to state that the Ministry had given in their resignation, which had been immediately accepted, and that they only continued in office so long as their successors were not appointed. The Chamber then declared itself in permanence. Some time after the Minister of Police arrived, and stated that all was quiet; that he had had information since yesterday of the demonstration that was preparing, but that as it was perfectly legal, he had thought proper not to interfere. That some hot-headed persons had gone too far, but not with hostile intentions. That as to the taking of the fort and gates, a project of the kind had been entertained by a few, but that reason had prevailed with them, as the troops could be no object of suspicion. The Chamber then rose, after declaring that the people had acted properly. The Journal des Debats, after giving the news from Rome of the 19th, in describing the invasion of the chamber by the mob, and the demand for an imme diate declaration of war, proceeds as follows :—"The Pope, persisting in his opposition to this measure, Count Mamiani and all the ministers resigned, but held their offices until their successors should be appointed. The Pope has made an application to a party whose name has not transpired, but who, it is said, bad refused the mission of forming a cabinet. A deputation of the Chamber of Deputies were to wait on the Pope on the fol lowing day with an address; and the answer of his Holiness is looked for with the most intense anxiety, and it is even feared that a civil war may break out in the city, for a very strong party appear determined to support the liberty of the Pope in case the war party should do violence to his feelings. These dissensions do great injury to the cause of Italian independence, which has need of the unani mous co-operation of all its strength to resist a power ful and determined enemy which has become more re doubtable than ever. An extraordinary courier arrived from Rome with news to the 22d, states that the Pope not having been able to form.. a Ministry imbued with sentiments of neutrality, the people and the Chamber of Deputies had established a Provisional Government. If the affairs of Rome are viewed impartially, and the fact not lost sight of that the Pope has imposed on him the twofold duty of Christian Pontiff and temporal Princ?, ,it must be admitted that it is great injustice to blame his conduct. As the Vicar of the God of Peace, he refuses to make a declaration of war ; as a Sovereign he gives his subjects liberty to take up arms. He does not interdict them forming themselves into battalions of volunteers and taking the field, but he merely refuses to commit an act of personal hostility which his conscience justly regards as incompatible with his quality as Father of all the Christian Church. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. Coastwise, as well as by land-carriage, the arrivals of all kinds of grain of home produce, as well as Flour, fur our market lest week, were on a limited scale. The supply of Oats from Ireland and Scotland was some what on the increase, though small the time of year considered. From abroad the receipts were, compa tively speaking, moderate, viz., 7,195 quarters of Wheat, 2,432 ditto ut Barley, 3,109 ditto of Oats, 2,710 ditto of Beans, 11,309 ditto of Linseed, 46 ditto of Rape seed, 930 ditto of Indian Corn, 91 ditto of sundry Seeds, and 180 sacks, together with 503 barrels of Flour. An extensive supply of Wheat was received fresh up this morning from Kent, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire. From other quarters the arrivals of that grain were by no means large. As the stands were heavily filled with samples of both Red and White, and the attendance of country buyers was by no means large, the demand for all kinds of Wheat of home produce brag in a sluggish state. How ever, a fair c learance of the stands was effected at Wednesday's advance in the quotations of from is to 2s per quarter. The accounts respecting the potato disease are by no means so unfavourable as those received last week. There was a good sale for fine foreign Wheat at the extreme rates of Wednesday last, being 2s per quarter above those paid on Monday. The middling and inferior kinds were slow in sale at Is per quarter above the prices of this day se'nnight. The market was ra ther scantily supplied with Barley, the best parcels of whitih moved off steadily at is per quarter more money; and the value of other kinds was well supported. Although the supply of Malt was small, that article was dull in sale, at but little, if aoy, alteration in prices. The supply of fresh Oats was small, but several stale qualities were on offer. On the whole the Oat trade was steady, at an advance in the currencies of Monday last of from 6d to, in some instances, is per quarter. Beans were in moderate request. In prices we have no change to notice. All kinds of Peas—the supply of which was small—were firm, at fully the late improvement in the quotations. Indian corn on the spot and for arrival was held for more money. In Meal scarcely any busi ness was doing. The Flour trade was far from brisk, at last week's prices. . CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

A very large number of Beasts, Sheep, and Calves having been landed this morning from Holland and Germany, the supply of foreign stock in to-day's market was very extensive. The general quality of the Beasts and Calves was tole• rably good; tnat of Sheep and Lambs very deficient; while the prices had a downward tendency. Notwith standing tne supply of home-fed Beasts on offer exhi bi'ed a falling-off, compared with that shewn on this day - 4 ght, the Beef trade, owing to the prevailing damp ant, ,:nangeable weather, was in a very sluggish state at, in most instances, a decline in the quotations of 2d per Sibs; the highest figute for the best Scots not exceeding 4s 2d per Blbs, end at which a total clearance was not effected. The quality of the Beasts was by no means first-rate. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received about 900 Scots and short horns ; from the northern districts, 600 short-horns; from the western and midland counties, 1,000 Herefords, runts, Devons, Irish boasts, &c.; from other parts of England, 350 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 300 horned and polhd Scots. The remainder of the Bullock supply was derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metropolis. The numbers of Sheep were on the increase, and tolerably extensive, the time of year con sidered. For all breeds the demand was very inactive, at barely, but at nothing quotable beneath, la s t we ek's currencies. The extreme value of the best old Downs, was 5s per 81bs. We were not to sa y l arge ly supplied with Lambs, yet the sale for that description of stock was heavy, at Friday's decline in prices of 2d per sibs.; the highest figure for Down qualities being 5s 4d per albs. The supply of Calves considerably exceeding the wants of the buyers, the Veal trade was excessively dull, at a fall of quite 2d per 81bs. In Pigs, the supply of which was moderate, next to nothing was doing, at barely sta tionary prices.

A Vienna letter of the 23d says—" The Ban of Croatia has been invited by the Archduke Jourt to come to Vienna by the 26th, the Archduke intend ing to set out for Frankfort on the 27th or 28th. The Hungarian Prime Minister, BATTIIYANY, is also ex pected to come and confer on the Hungro•Crotian question. It is, however, doubted whether the Ban will come on this invitation." FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. • The debate on the Posen question came on in the German Parliament on the 25th July, and lasted two days. The following were the motions under discussion, as drawn up by the National Committee : " 1. The National Assembly shall declare its renewed recognition of those parts of the Grand Duchy of Posen which, at the motion of the Royal Government of I'rus sia, were received into the German Confederation by the unanimous: resolutions of the Diet, under date of April 22 and May 2, and in accordance therewith shall give de finitive validity to the election of the twelve deputies chosen from that part of Posen which has been incorpo rated with Germany, and whose admission has been as yet only temporarily conceded. "2. The National Assembly shall provisionally recog nise the preliminary line of demarcation between the Polish and the German districts laid down under date of June 4, 1848, by the Royal Prussian Commissary General Pfuel; but, at the same time, shall reserve to itself the final decision as to the boundary lino between these two parts, which is to be determined after further proposals on the part of the Prussian Government. "3. The National Assembly shall demand of the Prus sian Government a decided declaration that not only on its own part, so long as it shall rule the Polish part of the Grand Duchy of Posen, it will preserve intact tho na tionality of the Germans who inhabit the same, but that it will also take measures to secure to them their na tionality, in case of the Polish part of Posen ceasing to be un er Prussian rule. " 4. The National Assembly, in respect of the peti tions relating to West Prussia, shall declare to the non- German inhabitants of this province that it (the Na tional Assembly), by its resolution of May 31, has guaranteed to all non-German races, on German Fede ral ground (and therefore to all Poles living on:the same), unfettered development according to their popu lar and national usages, and that moreover, as regards church matters, instruction, literature, civil administra tion, and the administration of the laws, it has guaran teed to them an equal acknowledgment of their lan guage, as far as its region extends." On these motions the committee were unanimous, with the exception of Schuseika. The principal speakers in the first day's debate were Stenzel (Breslaw), who warmly recommended the adop tion of the report, and animadverted in strong terms on the scenes of bloodshed recently perpetrated in the Grand Duchy; Goden (Posen) also supported the Committee; Blum (Leipzic) ono of the most talented orators of the Assembly, took the brightest side of Polish history, pointed out the virtues of the Polish race—Germany was greatly to blame for the fall of Poland. The report of the committee was altogether destitute of statistical or topographical data, he could not understand how such a report could have been laid before the National As sembly; and this they were to receive without ado, this report involving a question that was connected so closely with the general weal of Europe. He would conclude with the words of a great ruler who took part in the division of Poland. " 1 must confess," she said, " that I never felt so ashsmed of myself; for think what a sacrifice of honour we shall be making if we hazard our reputation for the sake of a little paltry piece of Poland." And this was Maria Theresa.—(Cheers.) Jordan spoke in favour of the incorporation, and de clared that he who thought they should give up half a million of Germans in Posen and let them be incorporated summarily with Poland, was " unconsciously a traitor to his fellew countrymen." The restoration of Poland, merely because its downfall was a grief to them, he re garded as a foolish sentimentality. They could not help but admire the patriotism of the Poles, but to wish to roll back the wheel of history, to be crushed by its recoil, was the height of absurd sentimentality.—(llissing on the left.) Vogt was the next speaker, after which the House ad journed. On the 27th the debate partook of a much more stormy character. A cons.derable time was taken up in arranging the order of division. Several motions recom mending the incorporation of all Posen wore unsupported. A Saxon Member proposed that the sense of the As sembly should be taken as to whether it felt itself com pete% to decide on the Posen questicn, or whether deci sion should be entrusted to the Congress of France, Englcind, and Germany. His motion was unsupported. Huge moved— " 1. That no part of Posen for the present be received into the German Confederation. " 2. That the twelve members already chosen for a part et' Poson, audi admitted to their seats, be pr3nounced disqualified. '• . That the National Assembly effect the assem bling, of a Congress. in which the Ambassadors of Eng land. France, and Germany, shall deliberate and decide on th , . Posen question." Rejected by u large majority. Blum moved that, " The National Assembly resolves to call upon the central power to institute a commissarial inquiry into the internal relations of Posen, and consequently to cause a fresh report to be laid before the National As sembly." Noes, 333; Ayes, 131. Blum, on the part of the " left," then declared that he and his party would abstain from all future participation in the division on this question, except as regarded those motions which were consonant with the decisions of the former Parliament. lie assigned as a reason for this, that his party did not consider themselves morally ena bled by the facts and arguments adduced in the course of the debate, to form a clear opinion on the subject. He requests that this declaration might be attached to the protocol of proceedings. It was signed by 51 Members, Blum, Vogt, Schuselka, Wiesner, Wesendonck, Zitz, Eisenstuck, &c. On motion 1 of the Committee, the result was—Ayes, 342; Noes, 31. A number of declarations and reclama tions were then attempted to be made by individual Members. The President remarked that by the resolution of the niajorily, the Posen Deputies might now take part in the division. Motion 2 of Committee, as slightly amended, by Giskra, Kopp, and others, was— " The National Assembly, under present circumstances, provisionally acknowledges the preliminary boundary line between the Polish and the German part of Posen, laid down by the Royal Prussian Commissary-General Pfuel, under date of June 4th, 1848, but reserves to itself' the final decision as to the boundary lino to be drawn between these parts till the result of further in quiries, to be set on foot by the Central Government, has been made known." Carried. Prince Lichnowsky moved— " That the National Assembly express to the Prussian Government a confident e xpectation that the nationality of the Germans in the Polish part of Posen will be pro • tected under every circumstance. Carried. • A most violent scene of uproar now ensued on the mo tion of Deputy Schaffrath— " 1. The National Assembly declares that the division of Poland has been a shameful act of injustice. "2. The National Assembiy acknowledges it to be the sacred duty of the Gorman people to co-operate in the restoration of Poland." Wurtn attempted to speak, but such noise ensued (says our reporter) more especially on the left, that it was utterly impossible to catch even his meaning. The President nearly lost the command of his temper ; he threatened to close the sitting, and angrily rebuked the left (who had stamped most lustily as well as shouted), for conduct which he stigmatized as utterly unbecoming. The clamour ceased for a moment, but was soon renewed, till at last the President was obliged to order Wurm from the rostrum. The Assembly then divided on Schaffrath's motion— Members present 458 ; Noes, 331 ; Ayes, 101 ; refused to vote, 26. The Assembly then adjourned. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. TERMINATION OF NEGOTIATIONS. The Provisional Government of the Duchies has issued the following proclamation : " Fellow Citizens,—The negotiations which it was expected would lead to peace with Denmark have been terminated. Again hostilities have commenced —arms now decide between us. " Germany has proved that she desired peace. The most moderate demands have been refused by Denmark. Dishonourable conditions have been rejected by the will of Germany, by the firmness of the brave General who watches o►er our frontiers at the head of an army of Germany. " People of Schleswig-Holstein ; we owe to our Ger man country all our gratitude. Prussia and the 10th corps d'arir43 have taken up arms for our cause. The German ports have submitted for months to great losses for our rights. Let us show ourselves deserving of their good wh , hcp. " Deeds and union lead to success ! Our youth has ten joyfully to arms, that we may join our German brothers. We will bo ready to comply with every claim that may be made for the energetic prosecution of the war.
