While the different peoples of Europe have evinced a cordial sentiment of admiration and friendship for the French Republic, it would have been an anomalous circumstance if Switzerland had alone reserved its gratulations. It would have been a coincidence as incongruous and inexplicable as though the demo crats of Marino had maintained a sullen appear. ance of indifference when the Bolognese were first proclaiming their civic independence. Ilistor ) , hour ever, will not, in this instance, have to record an 3 suela inappropriate demonstrations of jealousy, for the confederates of Switz;rland have revealed a 1 3 , -0- found reverence for the victors of February, and sincere delight at the new-born institutions and un paralleled achievements of the Parisians. Among the many brilliant manifestations which have, in various countries, welcomed the triumphs of Frencl, democracy, not the least memorable or significant was the precession organized on the 12th instant 1)3 the Patriotic Association of Berne, a procession whicl, indicated the thoughts of the whole Confederation towards France, by the acclamations with which is greeted General Tniaan, the representative of the Provisional Government. Was it as an accidental parody upon the effete royalism of the Continent, that LOLA NONTEZ witnessed this jubilee of Republicans from a balcony of the official residence ? If accidental, was it not felicitous Does it not breathe a reminiscence those antique pageants of the imperial city in which the captive lemans of subsidiary princes were dragged as trophies behind the chariot- wheels of Rome, when bands of lietors armed with the axe of the People preceded the concubines of Pamphylia, when the symbols of a conquered despotism were mingled with the eagles and the 5.P.Q.11.--those initials of what might almost be termed without impiety a terrestrial omnipotence. Yes—the compli ments exchanged between the Republicans of France and Switzerland were listened to by the favourite o: the abdicated Louis of Bavaria. Not with the pert ness of a - NELI. GWY.SNE, or with the ostentation of a Du Posiranoust, or w ith th e a bj ec t slavishness of a BARRY —but covertly, through the half•oneo..l joints of a jal ous i e -bli nd, as if in acknowledgment of the fact that the f o ibl es of kingcraft can no longer blazon their seductions in the sunlight of a victorious revolution. Poor LOLA may rattle her castanets in the face of a monarch, be he aa P n opi njayv likec a r i e ° 1 , or a sensualist like Louis— iniquity, a vanity in years"— her axed voicebutdub,gn and her feet are motionless, and h er every line:nent is expressive of timidity in the presenc e of the of a triumphant People. If, say we again,ai"t3 this coincidence at Berne was an accidental homa ge to de mocracy, it was also singularly felicitous. e) 'a Another incident, such as may be chronicled here after in an anecdotal chapter upon the Republic of February, is said to have occurred recently at Non. tron, according to the declaration of the Perigord of the Dordogne. At a banquet given by the inhabi tants to the Government Commissary, that official proposed a toast to the" health of M. LEDRU ROLLIN, when his voice was drowned by a significant outcry from the assembly—" Five LAMARTINE !" Was not that outcry the spontaneous announcement of a prin ciple ? Was not that principle antagonistic to Com munism —a principle of peace, of order, and of fra ternity? Lookir.g at the occurrences throughout Europe, you wculd swear that the future is no longer ominous of bloodshed, you would become san guine as to the march of intelligence, you would feel disposed to regar d w ith some d eg ree of credence the .prethctions of a hopeful and prophetic statesmanship. And y ou would not be wrong. Europe vouches for the truth of those pacific predictions, even amidst the smoke and bl ood of herbattle-fields. Ihe voices of and Peace, and O r d er, Fraternity, are audible above the guns of Goito, and the cannonade of Flensborg. For although the oppressorsohfi Venetian L om b ar( i y , and the insurge n t s of Se evoked the agoni es the so il of of war esA f ig-Holstei n h ave Italy and Denmark, th e sp i r i ts of Peace, and O r d er , ; and Fraternity are visible i of CHARLES ALBERT and of FREDERICK, bulletins bulletin s RICK. Sooner or poso. later these generous aspirations of the multitude must inevitably be realised. Sooner or later th e bil sophic hopes of LAMIRTINE must be fulfill e d. recen tly become the fashion to ridic u l e the peaceful doctrines doctrines of Mr. CosnEx, because, forsooth large-heartednfs3 ofthat distinguish e d man has thein• duced him to advocate rather prematurely the estab lishment of a perfect entente cordiale among the dif ferent nations of Christendom ! Of Christendom ! Our words appear on the anniversary of that divine day when the coming glory of Christendom was proclaimed among the hills of Palestine, when its point of radiation was Calvary, when the blood of its Divinity incarnadined the rocks of Judaea. Upon that august anniversary it is not unbefitting to main tain the possibility of a permanent and universal peace, or to assert that a man is not the less a patriot for being the more a cosmopolite. No : the experi ence of eighteen centuries does not falsify the hopes of humanity, does not prove the lust of carnage to be eternal, does not negative the harmonious deductions of RoUsEAU—ot that ROUSSEAU, who has recently been christened by a congenial writer,* "the Philosopher of Love and the Poet of Politics." Our past experi ences have failed to demonstrate the frivolity of these ideas because those experiences have never yet shown that the rage of battle has been contempora neous with the diffusion of knowledge. For more than thirty years peace has been preserved without any very grievous interruption throughout the whole of the European continent; and in that interval of tranquillity the :wind of the nations has continued in an unexampled state of activity. Knowledge has spread over the social system ; it has penetrated the darker recesses of the community; it has rendered wisdom portable, and has popularised philosophy. Science has emerged from the grove and the porch of the Academy ; it has appeared in the streets and in the workshop. Literature has been emancipated from the bookshelf, and scattered abroad in the homes of industry. The orator and the journalist have competed with each other in disseminating those ideas which fructify in the hearts of the million — their tripod has been respectively the tribune and the printing press. For more than thirty years this rivalry has been sustained, and at the end of that interval the most gigantic convulsions of government have proved incapable of overthrowing the structures of civilization ; they have attested that society can no longer be embroiled when its cupidity has been vanquished by rational enterprise and its ignorance dissipated by systematic instruction. What has been one of the most brilliant testimonies of this transformation ? That sentence which was pronounced but yesterday by the lips of ALPHONSE DE LAMARTINE—" Our treaties are sympathies, our diplomatists are nations !" On Good Friday, there fore, the epoch of the Redemption, the anniversary of the Crucifixion of CHRIST, we. may dream without derision of a permanent and universal amity among the nations of Christendom. The admirable letter which the Right Rev. Dr. KENNEDY, the Roman Catholic Bishop of Killaloe, has recently addressed to the Rev. Mr. BERMINGHAM, P.P. of Borrisokane will, we trust, be extensively circulated throughout all parts of the country, and we also hope that the episcopal brethren of that truly Christian prelate will follow the example thus afforded by promptly and vigorously rebuking sentiments so adverse to those by which a minister of the Gospel should be actuated whensoever and wheresoever they may be put forward. We gladly acknowledge the pro priety of conduct adopted by the great majority of the Roman Catholic clergymen, but unfortunately there are exceptions to the general rule. Men " who (in the words of the respected Bishop), while profess ing themselves anointed ministers of the GOD of peace, do not hesitate to counsel war with all its frightful and indescribable horrors—who, instead of exhibiting themselves the zealous and indefatigable apostles of peace and patience, of self-denial and charity, do not blush to assume, in the face of the world, the unnatural characters of abettors of anarchy and bloodshed, and in sustain men t thereof dare to profane the sacred Scriptures by quoting them against their DIVINE AUTHOR." To all such persons the castigation so ably adminstered will come home with the most powerful effect. They have been repeatedly and emphatically warned. The course of theological study which they must neces sarily have gone through to qualify them for the position they have attained, should be amply sufficient to teach them how utterly it is opposed to the sacerdotal character to stimulate those whose spiritual interests are committed to their charge to acts of violence and outrage, of tumult and blood shed, which must be wholly subversive of their tem poral and eternal welfare. But this is not all. The recognised head of their Church has issued his re script from the Vatican, calling upon the various classes of the clergy to abstain from all such un seemly demonstrations, and requiring the several prelates to see that this salutary admonition is !uly obeyed in their respective dioceses. We find, therefore, that such acts are alike op posed, to their duties as Christian men, as ministers of the Roman Catholic Church, and also to their allegiance as British citizens. And yet such atrocious doctrines have been put forward as that Ireland should rise to the contest as one man, Ind that every man, as he is about to take up his position, to perform this the most glorious act of his life should make a vow to the following effect :—‘ I vow, before GOD and my country, to lessen it' I can, by one man at least, the enemies of my native land, and to die.' " This is, indeed, strange teaching for a minister of the Gospel of peace. It inculcates not a fair and manly con test in the open field, but dastardly and cowardly murder by the assassin's hand. Every man is to vow that he will sacrifice at least one enemy of his native land—but who is to define the parties who may be included within that definition ? Does it not directly imply a war of extermination, a war to the knife, conducted on principles wholly opposed to those which are recognised in even the most sanguinary warfare ? What act of atrocity would not be justi fied under such a pledge ? But, lest it might not be sufficiently explicit, lest some doubt might be entertained that it was meant to be restricted to persons arranged in hostile ranks, this Christian minister adds—"Be sure you do all the mischief in your power—or all the good I should say, for the mischief is good in this case—by all the means within your reach, and think not one moment of living —to do or die, or to do and die be this your motto." Well might the venerable Prelate conceive that it would be folly to argue with such a person. A man who could give utterance to such atrocities has mis taken his vocation, and should be stripped of the gown he has disgraced, of the sacred character which he has profaned. Flow will he respond to the concluding sentence of the letter of his indignant diocesan, who thus addresses him—" As for me, I will only say that these letters make you appear to be entirely out of your place, and that you should either speedily retrace your steps, or at once manfully retire from the sanctuary." We would not desire to close the gates of mercy to a repentant sinner. A prompt obedience to the call thus made, a firm resolution never again to offend in like manner, may again qualify the Rev. Mr. BERMINGHAM when his mind has been disciplined, and brought into a more Christian spi t ri b t b e ; su u ff t er u ed nt t il that that weight has arrived tobi he s sl d sanguinary toul counsel that belongs to the arguments of a minister of religion. with doubt, filled w ith lamentation at the recent aspect The lovers of p eace are, out of affairs throughout Europe. Great is thei r disappointment and i nex • pressible their sorrow to see thewsord unsheathed Utopian u r e e d r to i od v and the beacons of war ignited, after of general pacification—after they had long e n t anticipate the speedy realisation of their a p aspirations of universal amity and har mony. Never theless, however much appearances may be against them, we are inclined to think that the most ardent philanthropists and advocates of peace have little 0 e ,.. casion to mourn over the present aspect of affairs. It is true that violent commotions in v arious king: doms have greatly agitated, and threatened to destroy the peace of Europe ; but war, where war has actun ally broken out, is now only a means of attaining an object, is no longer itself the aim of any na, Duct—forprotlati tion's desires. Glory—that hitherto marvellous and well nigh miraculous word—has lost its talismanic power, its charm is departed. Glory is no longer the rappel which rouses whole nations to arms, glory is no longer the watchword which impels them irre 'iatihly to victory. Other and holier influences now stir the hearts of nations ; other and holier objects are now the coveted guerdons of popular ambition.

We recently commented upon a most earnest and truthful panegyric, pronounced by the eloquent lips of LAMARTIYE, and addressed to a body of his partially disaffected countrymen, upon the significant word confidence. Such a panegyric, upon such a. word and under such circumstances, is another encouraging evidence of the predominating spirit of the age. An additional evidence of a similar character is afforded by the proclamation just issued by some of the most influential of the leaders of the Italian Liberals. That proclamation contains :a panegyric, as earnest and emphatic as that of M. LA MARTINE, upon the momentous and sublime word unity. The renovated spirit of Italian nationality pervades the whole of this Italian address, and in spires its earnest exhortation to the people of all Italy to crmbine together for their mutual welfare and the regeneration of their common country. Now, that the doctrines of Italy," such is the earnest language of the exhortation—" Now, that the doctrines of Italy are rising again triumphant throughout the Peninsula, under the guidance of the universal: cry that invokes union, this magic sound should not remain an abstract and empty word, but should become a truth—a fact—serving as a founda tion and safeguard to our political existence and future glory. But this union (so it goes on) cannot be obtained without forming, by common consent, a central and supreme authority to represent Italy, and serve as a legitimate organ to the national opinion and will—a supreme directing authority agreed to, venerated, and obeyed throughout the land." In pursuance of this idea, it is proposed, we know not with what prospect of realisation to establish an Italian Diet—a National Assembly of all Italy. As a mode of asserting and ensuring the nationality of Italy and the unity of the Italian states, such an assembly would, without doubt, beeminently effec tual ; but, however it may be practically beneficial, and consequently advisable, it is impossible to decide until the proposed plan be further developed—it ii impossible to decide how far the establishment of the Italian Diet would be likely to promote unity withclut knowing whether or not the establishment of such a power might interfere with the jurisdiction of the Go vernment of Rome, and hence promote discord in stead of promoting unity. This, however, is a matter on which we can give no opinion until we receive 'urther information. The establishment of the taller) Diet forms also the subject of an address to the POPE from deputies of the different states of Italy, in which address they desire the PONTIFF to permit the convocation of an assembly of the repre sentatives of the Italian states to be held in Rome, forming a national Parliament. " All the citi zens of Italy," say they, " with hearts over come by unspeakable " joy, turn full of hope and trust to the generous PONTIFF who has initiated the Italian resurrection, and entreat him to accomplish the holy work commenced. These people have the consciousness of their nationality, are sons of the same family, and earnestly desire to bind the compact of love and brotherhood, uniting themselves round their father and liberator." Whe ther the Italian Diet be established or not, these pacific expressions and aspirations after unity. among the people of one nation, like LAMARTINE'S aspiration for peace between nations, evince in a most satis factory and unmistakeable manner the liberal and withal pacific spirit which now animates the hearts of the people of Europe. Letters from Athens of the 4th instant state that the KING had signed a general amnesty. Madrid journals of the 15th have arrived. They are barren of intelligence.

PROCEEDINGS AT PARIS. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The grand national festival to celebrate the frater nization of the army and the National Guard took place as announced yesterday, and was concluded by a grand military demonstration, the like of which has never before perhaps been witnessed l'he whole of the forces under arms, consisting of 33J,000 National Guards and Gerdes Mobiles and 5,000 tr,)ops of the line, fell into rank and marched round the Boulevards and through the city in mili tary order, with drums beating and colours flying. The procession took eight hours in passing any given spot in the line of march. The greatest enthu siasm prevailed and the most kindly dispositions were manifested towards the troops, the National Guards, and the Provisional Government. Up to the hour of post the greatest tranquillity prevailed, and there was no probability of that tranquillity being interrupted. It is considered that this demonstration will strengthen immensely the power of the moderate members of the Provisional Government. The appearance of the National Guard and the Garde Mobile was peculiarly characteristic. The National Guard exhibited the strangest motley ap pearance ; not above half their number in uniform— some wore blouses, others coats, cloaks, and vest ments of every variety of fashion and colour. The strangest confusion of classes was also observable. Individuals, who from their bearing and costume be longed evidently to the more affluent classes, were seen bearing muskets beside men in blouses, porters, messengers, and guards in uniform. In some cases the more provident of the guards hid a loaf stuck upon their bayonets. Previous to marching to the Champ de Mara the National Guard took up the positions assigned to them along the Boulevards, from the Place de la Bastille to the Madeline. From time to time a regi ment of the marched along the centre of the Boulevards headed by its band playing the national airs. This was invariably the signal for enthusiastic cheering from the National Guards on either side, which was duly responded to and acknowledged by the regular troops. The Guard Mobile, not yet pro vided with uniform, and therefore presenting a sin gular appearance of a body of armed operatives, appeared from time to time. Cheers were likewise interchanged between these and the National Guards and regular troops respectively. By ten o'clock the whole line of the Boulevards, the Place de la Concorde, and the Champs Elysees, were occupied by National Guards. The fete was conducted exactly according to the programme which we published yesterday. At eight o'clock this morning the Provisional Government left the hotel of the Minister of War in carriages, to take up their places at the Arc de Triomphe, where a handsome platform was fitted up for them, decorated with a profusion of flags, stream ers, and other decorations. They were attended by an escort of Hussars, and as they passed they were loudly cheered by the troops, who, even at that early hour, were drawn up in the Champs Elysees. Im mediately on taking their places, twenty one guns were fired, to announce the commencement of the fete. Behind the Members of the Provisional Govern tnent were placed the Members of the Couneil of State ; the deputations of the Court of Cassation, of the Court of Accounts, of the Court of Appeal, and of the other tribunals; general officers and ad mirals ; under-secretaries of state ; deputies of the Mayor of Paris; the principal administrative func tionaries; a deputation of the ponts-et-chaussees ; a deputation of the council of public instruction ; deputation of the committee of government of the working classes; a deputation of the wounded of February, and of the persons condemned for political offences; the colonels of the different legions of the National Guards and of the detachments of the army; the chefs de bataillon of the National Guard Mobile ; the colonels of the republican guard and of the civic guard, all accompanied by their colour•bearers, as. setnbled in front of the estrade. At nine o'clock the distribution of the colours commenced. Each colonel ascended the platform successively, and was addressed in a short speech, by one or other of the members of the Provisional Go vernment ; after which the colours were presented to! him, and he made a short speech in reply. The: colonels and other officers then retired, and placed: themselves at the head of their regiments. Asi they passed the different legions they were loudlyi cheered, and saluted with cries of " Vive la: Garde Nationale !" " Vire la Ripublique !" Thai colonels of the infantry were saluted with partieularl favcur, and the shouts of " Vive la ligne !" from the National Guard were loud and enthusiastic. Just before the distribution of the colours the cere mony of the fraternization of the army, the National Guards, and the Garde Mobile took place. The filing off of the troops commenced soon after eleven o'clock. The Moniteur 9f this morning contains a proclama tion by the Provisional Government, of which we subjoin the substance. " The republic lives by liberty and discussion. The clubs are for the republic a necessity—for the citizens a right. The Government is pleased to see citizens as semble to discuss the highest questions of politics. The Government protects the clubs. But that liberty may have its fruits, beware of giving cause of alarm, remem ber that alarm gives rise to contra-revolutionary re action. If free discussion be a right discussion with arms in our hands is a danger, it may become an oppres sion. If the liberty of the clubs is ene of the most in violable conquests of the revolution, armed clubs may m liber t y, excite the w ors t passions, and rin p g m aboutoise It then interdicts the clubs from , being armed dur ingcbor civilthat war." their deliberations. The Afoniteur also publishes a decree granting an amnesty to all deserters from the sea and land service, who may surrender within two months if within the French territory, and six months if out of France. The Moniteur publishes an important decree, levy ing a tax of one per c ent. on all incomes derived from moveable, i m moveable, or fu n d e d property. - - - BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THI LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE .

AUSTRIA. It was reported in Vienna on Sunday evening that a courier had arrived from the seat of war in Italy with intelligence of an important victory said to have been gained by RADETZLY. Great apprehensions were entertained in Vienna, in consequence of a meeting of operatives, which was to have been held on Sunday last. The news of the ridiculous failure of the Chartist attempt in London arrived in Vienna on Saturday, and so inspirited the burghers composing the National Guard that they turned out in such force as to render any attempt hopeless on the part of the operatives to create an emeute. An address-to the- burghers from the- " Juridische Politische- serein" has been posted on the walls ; it is interesting as emanating from a club which took a very leading part in the revolution; it tells the burghers, " You have been invited to-day to meet in masses. What do you want ? Who are the men who have called you together ? They would inflame your passions and mislead you. Fel low-countrymen, the constitution is prepared, and will be published in a few days. The freedom of the press is granted. A numerous National Guard watches over your liberties; your representatives are watching them in the German Parliament. An Austrian Parliament will soon assemble, to which all your wants and wishes can be referred. In that Parliament the Imperial pledges must be carried out by the Ministers. What more do you require ? What is to be gained by meeting in thousands ? It is your duty to see that order be preserved. Remem ber that disorder has ever been the grave of freedom ; by it you may lose all and gain nothing. Country men ! we are on the good road of progress. Liberty and order for ever! Austria expects that ' every man will do his duty " Another address invites the people to beware of the " foreigners" who are inciting them to evil deeds. The basis of the new Austrian constitution has just been published. The paper states that on the 13th of April the principles of the constitution to be granted were agreed upon between the Minister of the Interior and the Deputies of the several provinces, and they have accordingly settled the following points as the elements of the laws to be promulgated as soon as possible. 1. All the provinces are constituted into one body, with the exception of Hungary, Croatia, Sclavonia, Siebenbergen, and, for the present, the Italian pro vinces. 2. The division of the empire shall remain as i exists at present. _ _ . 3. The person of the EDIFEROB, is sacred and in violable. 4. The EMPEROR has full power over the land and sea forces, and the right of making war or peace. 6. Treaties of every description with Foreign Powers can only be made with the sanction of the two Houses of Parliament. 6. The attribute of mercy and the right of bestow ing rewards belong to the EMPEROR; but mercy can not be extended to the Ministers without the sanction of the Pariiament. 7. The laws are to be administered publicly in open courts by verbal pleadings, and trial to be by jury. The judge s will be appointed for life. 8. All projects of laws are to be proposed as well as sanctioned by the EMPEROR. 9. The EMPEROR will assemble the Parliament annually, and he must call them together at stated intervals. Ile has the right to prorogue and dissolve them. 10. Freedom of religion, speech, the press, petition, and public meeting, is granted to every citizen, sub ject to future laws. 11. Entire liberty of conscience and religion. 12. The free exercise of religious worship is ac corded to all Christians and J ews . 13. All citizens are equal in the eye of the law and every citizen shall be tried by his peers. 14. The responsibility of the Ministers will be re gulated by the Diet. 15. The legislative power is in the hands of the EMPEROR and the Diet. 16. Two Houses of Parliament are to be consti tuted. The qualifications for Members of the Upper House are birth and large landed property; and they are to be nominated by the EMPEROR. Members of the Lower House are to be chosen from all classes, in order that every interest may be represented. 17. The two Houses have the power to project laws and receive petitions. 18. All laws require the sanction of both Houses, particularly those relating to the expenditure, taxa tion, finance, and the sales of public property. 19. A law will be framed for the organization of the National Guard. The law of election is only provisorial, and will be settled by the first Parlia ment. Amendments of the consititution can only be proposed by the Diet. to The t A L u t n r z i . a n Government This step h h a a s s ordered the considerable Jesuits satisfaction even to the Roman Catholic population. PRUSSIA. The intelligence from Berlin is to the 18th inst. Up to the 16th inst. Prussia had forwarded to Schleswig-Hohtein 14 battalions of infantry, the 20th infantry regiment, one battalion of the 31st ;thee 2d regiment of Cuirassiers, two squadrons of 3d Hussars, six other squadrons, 22 field pieces, and the 3 , 1 Artillery brigade, altogether 13,000 men . Counting the Hanoverian, Brunswick, Oldenburg, and Schleswig-Holstein troops, the German army amounts to 26,000 men, with 60 field pieces. The Danish force is set down fr om 20,000 to 24,000, with 96 field pieces. The fleet , however, of Denmark more than mak es up for the inferior number of its land army, whi c h is, moreover, daily on the increase. HUNGARY. The Cologne Gazette of the 19th says—" An en gagement between Hungary' and Russia, on and respecti ng th e d uc hi es of the Da nube, is considered inevitable. The independent Hungarian Govern ment seems resolved upon the speedy armament of the people, and extensive warlike preparations; 300,000 fire-arms have already been ordered at Vienna. BAVARIA• The Cologn e G az ette, of the 14 t h of A p ril, g ives thefoleloz-wKinigngaccoofußntAvofAtuhleA ,:n_os,itKeclicig Louis had entric of mortal s —the re solved, as is well known, to proceed, in the first instance, to Switzerland, and afterwards to Aschaffen burg: It was stated that it was the royal intention to fetch the Countess of LANDZFELD, and to take her to Asehaffenburg. When this was found to be the case, several of the chief officers in the service of King Louis declared they would sooner take their leave than accompany their Royal Master on such an errand. The travelling-carriages were all packed —nay, some of them had even started, and relays had been ordered on the road. King AIAT.IMILI &N now spoke decidedly to his Royal Father, and at this juncture succeeded in producing a decisive impression. King Louis will not go to Switzerland; for although guarantees would be given for his return, under cer• tain circumstances it would be very prob lematical." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES• Our intelligence from Copenhagen is to the 15!Ii. An official report from Commodore PALUDUN to the Minister of the Marine, announces his arrival off Eckernforde, and his demand to the city to withdraw the troops, to hoist the Danist. flag, and to send the burgomaster and two other members of the magis tracy on board, and, in case of refusal, threatened to bombard the city. As the whole of the irunicipal authorities and troops fled, the city was garrisoned by. the Danish marines. The report further states that a communication is open with the Danish battalions at Missunde. None of the enemy's soldiers were to be seen. Fredericks Ort was wholly ungarrisoned, and Kiel but very weakly defended. The KING was said to have left Flensburg for Ap penrade on the 15th. The latest accounts from the seat of war are to be found in the Hamburgh Borsenhalle of the 17th, which says "that the report of the skirmishes at Eckenforde and Konigsfords have not been confirmed. " Another account says that the King of Den mark remained at Schleswig only two hours—that the inhabitants maintained a neutrality—and that the King returned to Flensburg after having in spected the fortifications at Dennewerk. The Danes seem disposed to take up their position at Schlei. The dam of Eckenforde, opposite Schleswig, is planted with cannon, and the ferry-boat has been sunk. On the whole very good discipline is dis played. The palace of Prince Frederick in Holstein has been totally destroyed. Great excesses are also said to have been committed, but these are probably exaggerated. Danish ships of war are everywhere cruising in the East Sea, but it is not probable that they will land their men, as this would divide their forces. " This morning a deputation arrived here from Flensburg, which had travelled under the protection of a pass from the Danish Ministry. They came with proposals of peace, limiting the Danish de mends, which had hitherto extended from Denmark as far as the Eider, to Denmark as far as the Schlei. The deputation, however, was not received either by the Prussian Colonel Bonin, or by the Provisional Government. On the contrary, it was commanded to leave the fortress within an hour. The deputa tion was, however, verbally informed that there could be no question of negotiation till all the Danish troops had quitted the soil of Schleswig, and the Danish ships of war had withdrawn from our seas. Although the deputation did not bring any credentials, there can be no doubt, says the Borsenhalle, that it was sent by the Danish leaders, who are probably beginning to be rather doubtful of their cause, and to suspect the sentiments of the soldiers. Another object of the deputation was to molify the inhabitants of Flensburg respecting the treachery which had been practised there towards our troops. The Luckner volunteer corps, which con sisted chiefly of young men of Schleswig, had gone to that city after the skirmish at Krusan, where several men of the corps remained when the Dunes entered. Three agents of the Danes are mentioned who betrayed these young men, nearly all of whom were taken prisoners by the Danes. " The commission appointed by the King of Den mark, for the maintenance of order and the adminis tration of Schleswig, endeavours to ascertain the sen timents of the civil officers of the different districts by putting seven questions ; and, according to the answers returned, they are continued or displaced from their posts. " The Danes, so far from pressing the inhabitants of Eckenforde, as has been asserted, to enter the Danish fleet, or using any violence to the inhabitants, behave with great moderation. It is true there was a threat to bombard the city, if the flag with the Federal colours was not removed within two hours, and replaced by the Dannebrog flag. The Danes honourably paid for everything that they required on shore. " The Duke Von Augustenburg passed through Hatnburgh, on his way to Hanover, for the purpose of hastening the approach of the Hanoverian troops. " The Prussian courier, who was carrying dis patches to the Danish camp, was detained by the Danes for several hours on the road. He then tore up the dispatches himself, and returned without having effected anything. " We are assured on the best authority that only the King of Prussia and M. Von Arnim were in favour of speedily rendering assistance to Schlesvk ig Holstein, but that the other Ministers demurred for a long time. " The Duke of Brunswick arrived at Altona yes terday afternoon, and will set cut for Rendsburg to day. The chief quarters of the Hanoverians will be provisionally at Neuminster. " The suggestion that Schleswig should declare itself either German or Danish, originated in the first instance during the late ministerial crisis, at Copenhagen, when it proposed that the votes of each parish and district should be taken upon the subject, and that the boundary line should be drawn ac cordingly." EVENIN&, APRIL 21, lB4B. HAN OVER. APRIL 14.—His Majesty the King of HANOVER made the following reply to the address presented by the Deputies of the General Assembly of the Estates of the Kingdom, in answer to the Speech from the Throne : " Gentlemen—lt is a satisfaction to me to see you here, and that we have at all events proceeded so far as to have the Estates as,embled. I have never doubted of the fealty of which you assure me. The Hanoverians have ever been firmly and loyally at tached to their Prince ; this I have ascertained per sonally, as well as from the history of my ancestors. I place the most implicit confidence in my faithful Hanoverians ; and be assured, Gentlemen, that such is my affection for my people, that it is my earnest desire, as much as it can be the desire of any man living, to further their happiness. I have not for a moment endeavoured to conceal from myself the difficulties of our situation, although none of those lamentable occurrences have taken place here that have distracted other countries. I will ever be true and faithful to my people, and shall remain among you so long as, with the help of Ministers, I can serve the country, and most energetically will I carry out all that I have promised. Should it, however, unfortunately appear that I can no longer be of use to the country, that anarchy arises, or that demands are made of me which it would be incom patible with my honour to comply with, and that, consequently, I cannot conscientiously conduct the government of the country, in that case, Gentlemen, you will not be surprised that I resign and depart from hence. You may depend upon that I shall then carry out this resolution. I must, however, testify that my faithful burghers of Hanover have greatly contributed to the maintenance of peace and tranquillity, they have acted with courage and decision, and have averted those dire misfortunes which have over whelmed too many large cities. It is true that slight disturbances have taken place, but they were very insignificant, nor did they origi nate with many faithful burghers, but they were caused by foreigners who had come hither to disturb our repose, and were speedily quelled by the exertions of my faithful burghers. " Gentlemen, in these days it is absolutely necessary to have courage. Do you, therefore, have courage, and proceed in the road of order and legal adminis tration, with that energy which shall continually make all things co-operate for our good."—llamburgh Correspondent, April 18. POLAND. The latest accounts from Posen are up to the 16th inst. The Polish armed corps, who had not returned to their homes, were about to be incorporated with the troops of the line. It has been resolved by the Polish inhabitants to appeal to the Germanic Diet in favour of their national re•organiaation. Bitter complaints are heard respectirg the vacillating policy i of the Prussian Cabinet NS,ith respect to Posen, and also with reference to the excesses committed by the Germans. There is some talk of raisit;g a Polish loan in London. It is now fully rscertained that the majority of the Polish army at Schroda have laid down their arms. The remainder, under the command of MtußozLawsxt, have taken to the forests. In several plaees the scythe men had conflicts with the Prussian soldiers. The Prusso-Russian frontiers continue to be well guarded. A number of armed "Russian" Poles crossed the frontiers at Labaschin, but were driven back by a detachment of Prussian hussars. The Breslau Gazette states that the report of a , conspiracy having been discovered in the Russian garrison at Warsaw has been confirmed. A number of officers have been arrested. SWEDEN. CHANGE IN THE MINISTRY. STOCKHOLM, APRIL 11.—All the Ministers who held portfolios at the commencement of the Diet have resigned, and have been replaced as follows: Count Gustav Sparre, Minister of Justice; Baron Gustav Niels Stjerneld, Minister of Foreign Affairs; C. L. Von liohenhausen, Minister of War ; J. T. Ehrenstam, Minister of Marine; Anders Petters Sandstromer, Minister of Finance; Paul Genberg, Minister of Religion ; Niels Frederick Wallenstern, Councillor of State without portfolio ; Ephraim Gunther, Councillor of State without portfolio. 'The third post of importance in the Cabinet, which is still vacant, is said to be destined for Count PLATEN or Baron TERSMEDEN. All the Ministers who have resigned have entered upon high official posts. Of the new Ministers we can only say that they are by no means men of tried political principles. They are men of high honour, but give no guarantee for the change of administration, which is so univer sally desired. It is said that an army of observation is to bit placed at Schonen. Several steamers and frigates are to be fitted for sea. A battalion of gun-boats are to be placed at St , :ekholm station. Several vessels have also been arranged, for the exercise of the sailors and cadets.— Harnburgh Borsenhalle, April 17. ITALY. LOMBARDY. The report of the capture of Peschiera by the troops of CHARLES ALBERT turns out to have been un founded. CHARLES ALBERT made a brisk attack upon the fortress, and was, it would appear from his own account, compelled to retreat by the Austrians. The following is the official report by CHARLES ALBERT of his unsuccessful attack on Peschiera : "Head-quarters, at Pozz , dongo. " His Majesty, as General and Chief of his army, wishing to drive the Austrians completely from the right bank of the Almelo, ordered to-day an attack on Pes chiera. " The report that this garrison was composed partly o f Italians, and that the remainder was completely de moralized, induced him to attempt an attack with the fiell artillery only, sustained by the brigade of General B. "Attar having got together eight obuviers, six pieces of battering cankon, and six pieces of field artillery, our brave artillery commenced with four batteries, covered with the trenches constructed the evening before, to attack the advanced works of the enemy on the right bank of the Mincio. " The different companies of volunteers attacked these works in flank, as well as those placed on the left bank of the river. The angles dismantled, announced that our infantry could advance to the attack of the fortifications, and his Majesty appeared disposed to second the order of our troops, but, foreseeing that, even in ease of suc cess, these works, commanded by the enemy's artillery on the permanent fortifications of the citadel of Yes chiera, would have cost too much of our soldiers' blood, which would have been shed without a definite result, his Majesty resolved to renounce this attack; and after having, for form sake, summoned the place to surrender, tie ordered to resume his first position to consult on more imp.rtant affairs. " his Majesty has been extremely satisfied with the courage and skill of his artillery, the enthusiasm of his volunteers. and the order of his troops. " h is Mhjecty, always foremost in danger, remained several hours exposed to the fire of the enemy, with his sous and a numerous staff." The Opinione of Turin, of the 14th, gives further particulars of the capture of the powder magazines of Peschiera. The Milanese did not succeed in car rying off the gunpowder, for; a large body of troops being sent from the fortress, they had only time to throw a part into the water and to blow up the rest. They had to retire afterwards, and barricaded them selves in Castelnuovo, which they defended fur a long time. They then cut their way through the enemy, regained the steamer, passed the night r.t Assisa, and returned to Desenzano the next day. Official information from Venice, of the 14th, con firms a report that a body of volunteers, attacked by a more numerous force of Austrians, had been obliged to retreat to Vicenza, where a large boly of crusaders had arrived. The town i 3 barricaded and well defended, as a precaution against attack. Ad vices from Udine, of the Bth, announce that the Austrians who were on the Isonzo, and occupying the line of Goritz, had been ordered to march imme diately upon Trieste, which was menaced by the troops stationed in Istria and Dalmatia, who had all declared in favour of the Italians. The Patria, of Florence, of the 13th, says—" The Austrians retired within the line of the Mincio have regained courage, and fight with fury. It is of no use to deceive ourselves, the war will be long and bloody. It is war to the death—a war of Spaniards against the Moors, of Greeks against Turks. The Patria contains a letter from Ferrara, dated the 11th, which says the affair under Mantua was favourable to the Piedmontese, and that the Austrians lost 8,000 killed, wounded, and prisoners. Letters from Rome, of the 11th, say that M. Cox BELLI had left Rome for the head-quarters of the combined army with a view of establishing more strongly the league between the Italian Sovereigns. NAPLES. The greatest enthusiasm prevails in the cause of the liberation of Italy, and numbers of volunteers are daily enrolling themselves to proceed on the " Holy Crusade" against the Austrians in Lombardy. General PEPE is to command them. The following Ministerial appointments have taken place : D. Antonia Scialoja has been appointed Minister of Agriculture and Commerce; D. Giuseppe Vacca has been appointed coadjutor in the Ministry of the Into. rior; Canonico D. Paolo Pellicano, coadjutor of the Mi. nister of State for Ecclesiastical Affairs. The Plenipo tentiaries to the Congress of the Italian League have been named, arid are as follows: Prince of Colobrano, Prince of Leporarm, D. Biagio Gambol, D. Cassimiro di Lieti. First Secretary, D. Ruggiero Brugghi; Second Secretary, D. Alfonso de IVliirchei Dr,igotetti, HAMBURGH MAIL. The Hamburgh Borsenhalle of the 18th says, " that in consequence of the proposal of D. G. Reisser, which has been unanimously adopted, the city of Hamburgh will number 10,000 additional electors to the German Parliament, inasmuch as the sons of the burghers, and inhabitants, and other persons, who have attained their majority, will have the privilege of voting at elections. The proposals to this effect are contained in the following terms :—" That every German in Germany shall be eligible, that, conse• quently, the mode of election must be founded on the basis that every German, without regard to rank, property, or re li g i ous p ro fession, must be eligible as an elector." By this arrangement Hamburgh alone will hare 10,000 additional electors, and, says the paragraph in question, " it will surely be no more than a just ac knowledgment that all those who owe their privilege of voting to Dr. Reisser will unanimously appoint him their representative at the German National Parliament. fla.mnuacar, APRIL 18.—Very little business was doing on the Exchange in bills.

THR PROPERTY OF LOUIS PIIILIPPE.—The exact amount of the debts of the civil list of Louis Philippe is now said to be nearly 40,000,000 f., of which half is due to individuals, and the other half to the Treasury. These debts cannot be discharged at present, the private domain being merely under sequestration, and the ques tion of a sale being reserved for the decision of the National As.,elohly.
