The Orleanist party are displaying a valour and resolution worthy of a better cause. With a courage amounting to audacity, they have dared to beard the lion in his den, and even upon the very walls of Paris have posted placards proposing FRANCOIS D' ORLEANS, Prince de Joinville, as a fitting representative for the city of Paris ! This, indeed, would be a worthy climax to the revolution of February—the son of Louis PHILIPPE the representative of Paris! This, indeed, would be a realisation of the pacific prophecies of LAMARTINE—the most inveterate and avowed enemy of England the representative of Paris ! This, indeed, would be a fit consummation of the recent law of the new French Parliament—a Prince of the exiled family of Orleans a representative of Paris ! The French Government have resolved at once to put a stop to the proceedings of the reactionnaires. A prosecution has been ordered against the printer and publisher of the placard, on the ground that it is seditious, " because, by the terms of the de cree recently issued by the Assembly, the French territory is interdicted to all the members of the ex• Royal Family." This is perhaps the only ground on which the proposition could be legally re sisted, and it is well that the Executive Government have availed themselves of it, because it enables them to offer at once a firm and temperate resistance to the insidious and audacious attempts of the promoters THE 815 N , LONDION, of the reactionary movement. France is at the pre- I sent moment placed in a peculiar and most perilous position. She is now undergoing the transition from the ideal to the real, without enjoying the imaginative perfections of the one or the practical benefits of the other. It is a common adage that it is more easy to gain a victory than to make good use of one. It is the period after success that is the period of difficulty and danger. It is when victory has cooled the ardent, and success in toxicated the wise—when ambition stimulates the disaffected, and self-interest divides the hitherto una nimous—it is then that the true soldiers have cause to consider their conquest insecure ; it is then that it behoves them to have their loins girded and their swords unsheathed, and to be as prepared for action as on the day of battle itself. Such is the position of France at the present moment, and so is it incumbent on the true lovers of France to keep incessant watch over the liberties of their country. They have every possible incitement to exertion, they have that which should be the first thought of every genuine patriot—they have the fate of their country in their hands. Their own liberties as men, and their own rights as citizens, are in like manner wholly dependent upon their exertions, and if public opinion can afford them an additional stimulus, they may rest satisfied that the eyes of the world are upon them. " Soldiers, from the height l ef ,, these pyramids forty centuries contemplate you . exclaimed a French General to his army at the battle of the Pyramids. And, in like manner, might the leaders of the French encourage them now in their exertions. Not only do the solemn memories of the past contemplate them —not only do the records of former patriots and champions incite them onwards as with living voices—the present, with its Argus eyes, surveys their every movement, while the future waits to take its impress from their hand. With such stimulants to perseverance it is hardly to be supposed that the French nation will be false to themselves or to their mission. The words of their sublime " Marseillaise" should be their perpetual watchword. They should prove themselves to be indeed " children of their country," and then only will their " day of glory" be arrived. A passive struggle is, however, unavoidably more arduous than an active one. And it is passive exertion that the French are now called upon to practice. It is no longer necessary for them to raise up actual from thebarricades in the str ee t s , or t o expe l a tyr a n n ical ruler regal chamb e r s o f the Tuileries. But it is no w necessary for them to res i st f ear l ess l y an d resolutely every insidious attempt to restore the ty ranny from which they are but just emancipated, and it is necessary for them, moreover, to cast out even from the very tribunal of Government the disaffected and the evil councillor. A relapse is more danger ous than the malady itself, and reaction often leads the way to a tyranny more insupportable than the one overthrown. The placard which, with such unblushing effrontery, proposed his Royal Highness the Prince DE JOINVILLE as a fitting person to represent the Parisians in Parliament, may, perhaps, have an effect which the authors neither anticipated nor desired. It may remind the Republicans of the desperate character of their enemies, and may arouse the French people to a steady and invincible resistance of all their in trigues, whether of a pacific or bellicose nature. The Reforme launches out into an earnest and indignant denunciation of the cool audacity which dared to post the Orleanist placard upon the very walls of Paris— of Paris, the seat of the Republican Government! But a more forcible denunciation of this attempt may be found in a verse of the Republican hymn— " Francais ! pour nous, ah quelle outrage Quel transport cela doit exciter. C'est noes qu'on ose mediter De rendre a !'antique esclavage." This verse would have formed a singularly appro priate conclusion to the proposition of FRANCOIS D'OxLEANS as the representative of Paris, and should have been inscribed beneath it on the city walls. On Thursday we pointed out the peculiar advan tages which would result from a judicious system of emigration to our Australian colonies, as well to the emigrants themselves as to the present inhabitants, and to the mother country. The former would be certain of obtaining immediate employment, at a re munerative scale of wages, together with abundant supplies of the best description of food for the support of their families. The colonists would procure the labour of which they are so much in want, and which is essential to the due development of the ample resources within their reach, but which are neglected and wasted in consequence of the scarcity of labour, and the parent state would still maintain its connexion with those hardy and enter prising men, retain them as her subjects, and create a new and most valuable market for the productions of her native industry. Such results, so important and so beneficial to all parties, should not be slighted or despised. But they can only be attained by a well-arranged and prudent system, proportioning the arrival of the im migrants to the wants of the settlement in which they are about to be located; exercising a power of selection, so as to suit the various parties to the existing state of society in the several' districts ; exhibiting the fostering care of a parent in aiding the young community during their early struggles, and, if necessary, pledging the national credit on behalf of our brethren, who, although they have departed from our shores, and sought a home in another hemisphere, still own the same allegiance, maintain the same free institutions, and carry with them English habits, English feelings, and English duties, even to the anti podes. What is required is not mere emigration, but a well-devised and systematic colonization. The report of the Court of Directors of the New Zea land Company, which was adopted at the annual general meeting of the shareholders held on Wednesday last, and the substance of which appeared in The Sun of that day, is an important document, showing that the directors are fully alive to the great interests committed to their charge, and disposed to turn to the best advantage the assistance afforded by the Government. It is not necessary now to enter into the causes that for some time occasioned difficulties, and placed impediments in the way of the company, and materially impaired their usefulness. It is sufficient to say that these causes no longer exist, and that there is now the most friendly co-ope ration on every side. Those who exhibited so much energy in adverse circumstances will, we doubt not, act with equal zeal and ability in increased prosperity and under more propitious and favourable auspices. A great trust has been confided to their hands ; the welfare of the southern province of New Zealand , mainly depends on their administration. Under the agreement entered into last year, the company is in vested with all the rights of the Crown over all lands that are or may become Crown property avail able for colonization, and loans to the amount of 236,0001. sterling have been contracted with the et Government for th e purposes of colonization, until 8 7 0 7 0 1 1 7 h r u eali a s l e r d ea f d rO y m be t e h n e proceeds of as these suffici lands n ; fundsl2 of received by the company on account thereof, and the balance of 108,000/. is still receivable. With such means at their disposal,much may be expected at their hands ; as yet the extent and posi tion of the availa ble lands have not b een fully ascer tained, and of course until that most e ssential preli minary has been settled no definite conclusion can b e arrived at. Sufficient, however, has been enun ciated to entitle the directors to the public approbation for the course in which they are pro ceeding. The unhappy differences that existed with the colonists in the settlement of Nelson have been put in a train for a satisfactory and speedy ad justment. Governor GREY has been selected as,arbi trator to adjudicate upon all such cases as cannot be amicably arranged, and the entire landed property of the company has been placed at his disposal, out of which he is empowered to make every equitable arrangement. The directors are also engaged in a re-examination of the "Nelson trust funds," so that it may be hoped that the confidence and harmony so essential to the prosperity and happiness of the district may be fully restored. A due attention to the means of transit for the intended colonists, so that the disease and demoralization attendant on overcrowded and badly ventilated vessels may be avoided, would manifestly be one of the first duties of such a body. The directors state that they have made arrangements for dispatch ing " a regular succession of passenger ships upon a system which, while it combines economy with efficiency, makes provision also for an attention to the habits of domestic privacy and feelings of per sonal self-respect, as well as to the health and ordi nary comforts of the several classes of passengers." Those who have shuddered at the fearful and heart rending scenes that have been enacted on board of some emigrant-ships during the past year, will rejoice to find that there is little prospect of a renewal of such horrors in the vessels dispatched under the auspices of the New Zealand Company. The balance-sheet of the company shows liabilities amounting to 387,500/. 103. 5d., including the Go vernment debt and the paid-up capital amounting to 200,000/. ; against which they have assets to the value of 61,761/. 4s. 9d., exclusive of their claims to land, which extend to 1,071,435 acres as yet undis posed of. One point to which the attention of the meeting was called will, we trust, be immediately attended to, and an adequate remedy provided for the evil. We allude to the difficulties interposed in the way of transfer of lands by the heavy ex pense of conveyance. Mr. BURNAND stated at the meeting that he had himself paid no less than 661. for the conveyance of a small parcel of land. We have already roempeawtehdalt m repeatedly urr. JAMBS benefitsgedtmhevasstTEwAßTso happily to be ob taintermed a " free trade in land itself " and the disad vantages of any u nnecessar y d e l a y s , difficulties, or expenses in the transfer. The difficulties in attaining this desideratum, which are so formidable in this country from the complicated character of our titles, may easily be surmounted in an infant colony. Plans could be prepared for effecting cheap and expeditious transfers, in which there should be no danger of the purchasers being deprived of their properties from any flaw in their titles. We trust that this most essential point may be placed upon a satisfactory footing under the direction of the com-1 parry ; they may be sure that in no particular can they confer more important benefits on the inhabi tants of the colony with so little trouble or expense to themselves. SPAIN. Madrid papers of the 28th ultimo have been re ceived. It would appear that the Ministerial crisis had blown over, and that BERTRA DEN Lis, whose resig nation had been received by her Most Catholic MA.. JEST; had resumed the care of the financial port folio. _._. On the 28th there was no Bourse at Madrid, tha day being Sunday. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. LOUIS BLANC AND THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. From the subjoined report of the proceedings in the National Assembly yesterday, it will be seen that the Committee appointed to consider, whether the Assembly should authorise the Procureur-General to prosecute M. LOUIS BLANC, for his share in the in surrection of the 15th of May has made its report in favour of the mis en accusation. N. JULES FAV&E, it will be seen, was the reader of this important re port, which stated that fifteen out of the eighteen Members of Committee had voted in favour of the resolution. The Assembly listened to the report in perfect silence, and did not give the slightest expression either of approbation or disapprobation. The discus sion on the report was fixed for Saturday (to-day), and there is no doubt that the decision of the Com mittee will be confirmed by the Assembly. M. Louis BLANC has published a statement which he calls "An Appeal to Public Opinion, by the Citizen Louis BLAilc," and which, he says, was in the press, when he was unexpectedly informed that he was to be prosecuted. He, however, publishes it, he says, without any alteration. He defiles that he went to the Hotel de Ville on the 15th. The three members who voted against the accusa tion of M. Louis BLANC were—let their names not be forgotten—MM. ABBATRECCI, THOMAS BAC, and FRBSLON. From the Oran steamer, -which arrived this morn ing, the news has reached us of the revolt of the tribe of the Flittas, and that a serious encounter had taken place between these Arabs and the French troops, who had left Mostaganem. In the long statement published by M. CAUSSI DIERE, and addressed by him to the electors of the Seine, in justification of his conduct as Prefect of Police, there is nothing remarkable beyond the fol lowing note, written to CAUSSIDIERE by M. LAMAR TINE, on the 17th ultimo, two days after the insur rection of the anarchists : V " I shall always have great pleasure in seeing you, after the storm, which, contrary to my will, is carrying you away, and I do not doubt but your character and your talents will recal you to the services of the Re public. It owes you much, in my opinion. I shall al ways be your witness, as I was yesterday, and your friend, If you wish it. " LAMARTINE." According to CAUSSIDIERE the arms and ammuni tion furnished to SOBRIEE were given to him by the order of M. DE LAMARTINE, A Commission, composed of M. ROY, Inspector General of the Finances; M. UEVEILLE, Engineer of the Ponts et Chaussees ; and M. GONSOLLIN, ex- Sub-Director of the Ateliers Nationaux, is appointed to examine the accounts of M. EMILE THOMAS, dur ing his administration of the ateliers. The Finance Committee has adjourned till to morrow its report on the conversion of the Bons du Tresor into Five per Cent. Stock, in order to con sider some slight amendments proposed. It is said that the Committee has obtained possession of a docu ment which proves that one of the railway com panies paid its dividends out of its capital. This dis covery has had a bad effect upon the feelings of the members, and is said to have disposed several of them to support the Government measure for the repur chase of the railways. The Moniteur publishes two decrees worthy of mention ; one granting an amnesty to all members of the National Guard who had committed infractions of the service, either under the Government of Louis PHILIPPE or since the establishment of the Republic ; and the other withdrawing all the previous decrees issued relative to the establishment of three squadrons of cavalry of the Garde Mobile, and declaring that a law to that effect will be presented in the National Assembly. All the Paris journals of yesterday morning com ment on the proposed impeachment of Louis BLANc. The article in the Constitutionnel is rather severe upon the hesitation and procrastination of the Execu tive Committee; while the Assemblee Nationale is very bitter in its allusions to the tumultuous conduct of the national representatives. In the Commerce there is a more calm and unimpassioned review of the relative position of Louis BLANc and the Government. The National has an article very much like that of the Commerce. The National, however, goes farther, for it seems to consider that the explanations of M. LOUIS BLANC are quite satisfactory. The Reforme regards M. Louis BLANC as the victim of calumny and reaction. Even the Government, which not long ago had all the sympathy of the Reforme, is now almost directly charged with an attempt to stifle the revolution. M. Louis BLANC, according to this journal, is the second victim of the reactionary spirit which it declares to have taken possession of the persons in authority. M. CAUSSIDIERE was the first victim. Th N e A ch T a l ir O w N as AL tak A e S n S a E t M a quarter-pastniLr ASSEMBLY, sd F RrD one e j o u ' N cl E oct, by M. Senard, on e o f t h e Vice- The Chawibor continues t o be mos en t ts strongly guarded. The President r ose , and Assemblyinformedthe that he had received a letter from M. Barbels, now a prisoner at Vincennes, declaring that the words attributed to M. Louis Blanc in the requisitory of the law officers of the Republic, and on which was founded the demand to au thorise judicial pursuits against that representative, had been uttered by him (Bart 3), and that he claimed the whole responsibility of thew.--(Deep silence.) "If there be any Member present," said the President of the Committee appointed to consider the demand against M. Louis Blanc, " I can deliver this letter into his hands to be laid before the other members." A Member here stepped forward, and the letter was handed to him by the President. M. Bertholon read a long report on the state of the colony of Algeria, in which it is declared that it is to be considered as an integral part of the territory of France, and is to share in all the advantages arising from the laws and institutions of the mother country. M. Flocon, Minister of Commerce, said that a proposi tion having been presented at a late sitting to provide for certain omissions in the Bill introduced by the Go- , SATURDAY EVENING, vernment relative to the establishment of councils of prud'hommes, it had been considered advisable to intro duce an additirsal article to meet the special cases which existed at St. Etienne, Lyons, and some other places. Referred to the Committee on the original Bill. The President—The Committee appointed to consider the demand made for leave to prosecute M. Louis Blanc, has directed M. Jules Fabre to state to the Assembly what it has decided on.—(Great attention.) M. J. Fabre declared that in this most important ques tion the Committee had come to its resolution by a ma jority of 15 votes to 3. The Committee had devoted the whole of the day before to the most mature considera tion of all the documents that could enlighten it in form ing a correct judgment; it had heard the statements and explanations of the law officers of the Republic, and had called before it M. Louis Blanc himself, who, in addition to viva voce explanations, had presented a printed excul pation of his conduct; it could therefore declare that the opinion which it was about to give to the Chamber was most truly and conscientiously motive d. The Committee had been first of all struck with the cir cumstance that the National Assembly had not in its regulations provided for such a case as the present, and that, in fact, the authorisation which had been demanded was not contemplated in any of the enactments which the Chamber had as yet adopted relative to its own con stitution. It appeared as if the Assembly had thought such enactments superfluous, being, by its position, above all courts, or institutions, or law ; representing as it did the sovereignty of the people. Its inviolability, therefore, though not written down, and proclaimed in express terms, was very evidently implied by the very nature of its existence. And as the whole Assembly, collectively, was thus inviolable, so each Member in his individual capacity shared in the privileges of the whole body. Hence the demand fur permission to prosecute a Member appeared to the Committee the on ly course that could have been ad o pted in Chamber.l Whenthe present to suit th e di gn ity d ue t o th e the committ ee h a d t h us d ec id e d t h at a the a courseadopted was the only correct one, it turned it attention to examine whether the officers who had made the application could have been by possibility influenced by any party purpose—any partial views—any other mo tive than a conscientious desire to forward the end. of justice. The c ommittee. af ter interrogating these gen , tlemen_after having considered the evidence already after having c are f u ll y we i g h e d t h e proo f s lotisp and d evo t e d ness t o th e i r pro , • a obtai - ' _always exhibited, 'had conclusion that nothing but an ,o. imperative sense of fluty bad influenced these officers in making their demand, The committee had, throughout this delicate inquiry, felt that the representative against wheel the demand was made was not an ordinary member, but one alike remarkable for his historical labours, and for having shared the dangers and tell of the Provisional Government. Th.9•Assembly on Wednesday bad up. parently taken the same view of the case, since it had at once decided that a special committee should he nomi nated to report on the demand, The Committee had felt that such a mark of confidence called for more than ordinary attention on its side, and it was only after it had made every possible inquiry that it had come to its conclusion, If, in a case of such great importance, the Assembly should evince any unwillingness to allow oue of its Members to answer the charge made against him, and should found a refusal on the inviolability of its representatives, the Committee thought that such a course might be the cause of a certain disconsideration of that high body in the eyes of the country. Looking at all these mo • tives, the purity as well as the cogency of the reasons allepd by the law officers of the Republic, the necessity for the Hon. Member himself, who was incul pated, to set himself right before the country, and the duty of the Assembly to be careful as to the character of its representatives—the Committee considered that it performed its duty to the Assembly, and to the country, in recommending that the authorisation demanded by the law officers of the Republic, to proceed by criminal process against the Citizen Louis Blanc, should be ac corded.—(Great agitation.) The President—What is now to be decided is whe ther the discussion is to take place at once, or on a later day.—(Cries of " To-morrow," " Monday," " At once !") M. Larabit from his place—Considering the granting of the ease, I think the report which we have just heard read should be printed and distributed, so that we may be better able to form a correct opinion.—(Hear, hear.) The Marquis de Mornay thought that the fairest man ner of proceeding would be to allow M. Louis Blanc himself to fik the day when the discussion should take place.—(Loud cries of " No, no l" and great agitation.) After order had been somewhat restored, M. Louis Blanc assended the tribune, and in an agi tated voice said—ln the presence of a system which appears to me disastrous, and against which I can only protest, I think it my duty to abstain from any further remark. The Assembly here evinced great emotion and CGDSi derable disorder, some crying out for one day, and others for another. The President then successively submitted to the vote of the House Tuesday, Monday, the next day (Satur day), and the present moment, for the discussion. The Assembly fixed the next day (Saturday) ; decid ing.at the same time that the report should be printed and distributed to each Member. A long agitation followed this scene, and the sitting was suspended for some minutes. The Assembly afterwards discussed the proposition of M. Pleignard for the best manner of discussing the Bill on the Constitution (it tends to have a sub-com mittee formed to send in a preliminary report), and adopted the articles. M. Billault, President of the Committee on Finance, read the report of that body on the financial position of the country. He. declared that, above all things, the Committee wished to recommend the utmost fidelity to all engagements previously entered into.—(Loud cries of H e ar, hear;") The immense quantity of work had left an immense burden on the country; but the Com mittee felt confident that the surplus of eleven millions announced by the Minister of Finance would, with pro per economy, be found a correct calculation. The Hon. Member then entered into an examination of all the dif ferent sources of revenue, and the probability of their affording such returns as had been estimated. The Committee decided that question in the affirma tive. It then recommended, as a primary step, in order to have confidence restored, to have the Bons du Tresor converted into Rente, at a fair price. He concluded, by proposing that the holders of Bons du Tresor should have the faculty of converting them into Five per Cent. Rente at 70f.; the depositors of the savings banks also, the Bons du Trlesor which they had received into Five per Cents., at 70f.; and the Minister of Finance should be authorised to place the necessary amount of Rente on the grand libre. M. Duclerc, Minister of Finance, could not agree in all the conclusions of the Hon. Member and the Com mittee. He could declare that the Government was perfectly able to pay all the coming charges on it for the three per cent. dividends, the pensions, &c. The Committee of Finance nad recommended the above mode of disposing of the Government funds, he thought, too lightly, and had, in fact, in his Opinion, usurped a power which did not belong to it.—(Cries of " Oh, oh.") The Hon. Minister here entered into details to prove that the Government could not at present carry out in full the measures recommended. Alluding to the railway question, he declared that the Government was fully determined to take possession of them, and that it considered that step as the point de depart of its policy.—(Movement.) Th e di scuss i on t o b e The proposition of M. Pietri to abrogate the decree fixed financialhefter. rea relative to the ba n ishment of the Bonaparte family was brought forward , and after some discussion it was proposed that , as the Bill had been already vir tually abrogated by the revolution of February, and the fact that the B on aparte family were now in France, the proposition should be withdrawn as unnecessary. This was under discussion when post hour arrived. [Left sitting.] BANK or FIL&NCE.—The following was the situa. tion of the Bank on Thursday evening, May 31 : CREDITOR.

THREE O'CLOCE—This was a day of great excite ment at the Bourse, and the decline in the price of Rentes, which commenced on Tuesday, ma d e further progress. The weekly state of the Bank, .41 IT N E 3, 1848. and the general uneasiness as to th a finaccial position of the Government, produced the fall. The Rail ways participated in the decline to a slight extent, but en the whole they were firm. Bons du Trisor have improved, in consequence of the Committee recommend ing that they should be paid in Five per Cent. Stock at 70. Vieille Montagne remain as on Wednesday. For the Account, the French 'Three per Cents. have fallen 75c., Five per Cents. have fallen lf. 50c. For Money, the Three per Cents. have fallen 9ic., Five per Cents. have fallen lf. 25c.

Alj persons who have participated in the excesses a the 26th May, are to be placed before a local tribunal. 5. The Ministers have earnestly entreated the return of his MAJESTY to Vienna as speedily as possible ; or, in case his health should not admit of it, to send one of the Imperial Princes as his representati-„ . The Ministers at the same time request the t:, ew i y _ constituted Committee to give the necessary for the security of his 11.1AJEsTir Eit) guarantee the Imperial The Ministers likewise Pla ( 7a the care of the pro perty of the state, as weld as that of the Imp er i a l Court, all public ins t : ;tutions collections, museums, and corporate b ', - uies in the residentiary city, under the prote° 4 ..on of the inhabitants of Vienna, and to the r :ewly-constituted Committee, and declares the same independent of every other authority. At the same time, however, they delegate to the same the pleasing responsibility, for public peace and order, as well as for the security of persons and property. Finally, the Ministers declare that they can only continue the functions which have been committed to them ad interim upon their own responsibility, till they shall be either relieved from them by his MAJESTY, or deprived of the means of carrying them out. Signed in the name of the Cabinet, PILLERSDORF. VIENNA, MAY 27.—The Ministers have likewise issued a proclamation declaring that only the 12th Jager battalion, and the regiment of infantry, with Prince Emn, had been ordered to march for Vienna, but that requisite orders had already been dispatehed desiring both those regiments, especially the second battalion of infantry—which was merely destined to replace the regiment of Count NUGENT, which has been ordered to Italy—not to approach the city. A letter has been received from Count BRANDIES, dated Inspruck, May 23, giving a satisfactory ac count of the welfare of his MAJESTY, and of all the Imperial Family, and stating that not the slightest apprehension need be entertained for the security of his illustrious personage, since 800,000 faithful Tyrolese are pledged to defend them with their life and property. INsritucK, MAY 26. Various deputations with addresses have arrived from all parts of Austria ; among them were seven as a deputation of ladies from the Female Association, who were admitted to a❑ audience with his MAJESTY. Most patriotic ad dresses have been received from Ems, Styria, Silesia, Agram, and Linz. His MAJESTY'S replies to these were very feeling and satisfactory. The Mi nister, Baron VON DOBLHOFF, and Prince ESTERHAZY, are now here. Two battalions of the regiment La tour, which is coming from Bavaria, arrived here this morning, and defiled before the EMPEROR and the ARCHDUKE.—Allgemeine Zeitung, May 29. LEIPZIG, MAY 29.—The peace of the city has not been further interrupted owing to the judicious and decided measures which were adopted. The ap pearance of the watch-guard of nearly one thousand, which approached for the protection of the burghers, and the distribution of cartouches in the presence of the people, together with the command of the Senate that on the slightest renewal of disturbances instant recourse should be, had to arms, probably intimidated the miscreants. In the possession of several indivi duals who were arrested were found lists of the houses which were destined to be plundered. It is generally supposed that there is a great deal going on behind the scenes, and that there are very well informed leaders at the head of all these disturbances. The investigation before the Judges will, doubtless, bring much to light.—Cologne Gazette, June 1. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. DENMARK AND SCHLESWIG- HOLSTEIN. BATTLE BETWEEN THE GERMANS AND THE DANES. Intelligence has arrived by way of Altona of a great victory achieved by the Danes, on the 28th ultimo, at Sundewitt, the German troops under General HALKETT having been signally defeated. The Schleswig-Holsteili Journal FP,l7es the following, under the head of Rendsburg, May 29, 1848—" This afternoon the news arrived here of a serious contest between the German and Danish troops at Sundewitt. Yes terday (Sunday) was appointed for relieving the ad vanced posts of the confederate troops opposite Alsen, Of this the Danes received notice by means of their spies. Reinforced by troops which must have been brought from Funen to Alsen, they 'Wed on the mainland, which circumstance the Germans did not deem of importance, as their atten tion was taken up by the arrival and departure of their own troops. Directly after the new picquets were posted they found themselves attacked by a large number of Danish troops, supported by artillery, beneath the heights of Duppeler, whilst at the same time a number of vessels of war and gun-boats ap peared to the west of Ekensund (near Alnoer and Treppe) as if a landing were also to be effected there. It was evident that the Danes by this would endeavour to divide the attention of the German forces. On the Duppeler heights a very severe combat took place, by which great numbers wore killed and wounded on both sides. No returns have yet been furnished of the numbers. " The Danes fought with the greatest bravery; they fought, in fact, heroically, and after a severe contest, at length at seven o'clock in the even ing, forced our troops to retire towards Quars in a northerly direction, whilst they advanced upon Gravenstein, which they occupied the same night. On our side there were 7,500 men engaged, and the enemy appeared to be 8,000 strong, supported by the fire of their cannons, which had been planted along the line of our position. The battle was undecided for several hours, until the Danish Infantry of the Guards (principally Schleswigers and Danes united) advanced upon our troops with such enthusiasm, at the point of the bayonet, that forced us to give way and retreat. This affair has caused a great and un expected sensation here, and gives rise to various opinions relative to the effect which it will produce on the negotiations of peace." From still later accounts, received from a traveller just arrived from Copenhagen, it would seem that when our informant left a combined Russian, Swedish, and Danish fleet, commanded by Prince CONSTANTINE in person, had appeared before that city. His Imperial Highness had inti mated to King OSCAR that the Emperor NICHO LAS placed at his MAJESTY'S disposal a squadron, com posed of six vessels of the line and nine frigates. Lieutenant-General Count GUSTAVUS oiLoewen hielm has been appointed (so it is said) Commander in-Chief of the Swedish army. The extraordinarily sudden retreat of General W RANGEL from Jutland is attributed now, not to the results of the mediation offered by Lord PALMER... STON, but to a note sent by the CZAR to the Prussian Cabinet, in which he declared that if the Prussian troops were not withdrawn from Jutland within a given time, he should declare war to Prussia. This note was followed by the appearance of a Russo- Danish-Swedish fleet off the coast. Prussia at once complied, to the bitter indignation of General WRANGEL, who made the very wise remark, that his troops would look exceedingly silly—" Wir ziehen ab wie die Narren r The Danes, encouraged by such powerful allies, have recommenced hostilities. (FROM THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY. HULL, SATURDAY MORNING. The Lion steamer which left Hamburgh on the Ist instant, arrived at Hull this morning, at five o'clock. The intelligence received by her confirms the account of the engagement between the Danes and the troops of the confederation. We have also the following additional news : RENDSBURGII, MAT 30. About 80 of our wounded have been brought in. The Danes are said to have crossed over to Alsen without waiting for the Prussians, who are advancing from Apenrade. Accounts from the North are not satisfactory. Christiansfeld is said to be occupied by the Danes, and the inhabitants are flying to Hadersieben and Apenrade. COPENHAGEN, MAT 29. Negotationa for peace are in progress, but the terms are not yet known. None of the captured vessels have been condemned. FLENSBURG, MAY 29. A skirmish has taken place at Duppel, near Flensburg, and from 5,000 to 6,000 Danes having landed attacked the rear-guard of the German army. About eighty are wounded. No further particulars are known. AUSTRIA. The following important news has just arrived from the Austrian capital. VIENNA, Mir 28.--The Wiener Gazette of this day says :—" The barricades are increasing in num bers, and communication is so impeded that in some parts of the city people are completely shut in, and know nothing of what is passing in other parts. Ap parently everything is quiet, but all wears a warlike aspect. In the streets, upon the barricades, and in the surrounding houses, expert nationalists, students, and armed workmen all fraternize together, and seem determined to maintain the defensive position which they have taken up. All the posts are occu pied by nationalists. The troops have been consigned to the barracks, and are, it is said, on the point of marching off. An awful stillness, an agonising suspense, a fearful contrast subsists between this suddenly• animated mass of warlike preparations, and the total absence of an object against which they can be now, or it is hoped ever will be able to direct it. This stillness is only interrupted by occasional bursts of alarm. Last night, for instance, a report was suddenly circulated that Prince WINDISCHGILATZ was approaching the city at the head of a large army. The alarm-bell was suddenly sounded from every steeple—all flew to arms—new barricades were speedily erected—the paving-stones pulled up, and strewed about the streets. A terrible uproar prevailed for above an hour, when it was ascertained that a body of Hun garian pirates had landed and were approaching the city, bearing torches, for the purpose of aiding the students. This, of course, restored quiet. The workmen have to-day been going through the streets in long processions, with banners, and armed with shovels, spikes, and other implements. They have, however a great respect for property, and wrote on the walls and doors " Property is sacred." Not one of the numerous vaults or warehouses has been opened by them. The Wiener Zeitung blame the Ministers for causing this complete stagnation of the regular course of life, this unheard-of warlike preparations on the part of a peaceful population, this state of seige in rl metropolis without an enemy at the gate. The Ministers have issued a proclamation, saying that, under the extraordinary existing circumstances which have compelled the Burghers, National Guards, and students to come forward for the preservation of order and security of the rights of the people, the Cabinet has resolved— BELGIUM. Papers from Brussels to the 30th ultimo state that on the 29th (Monday) a dinner was given at the Palace, in honour of the Prince of PRUSSIA. His Royal Highness passed the night at the Hotel St. Antoine, and quitted Brussels this morning, at three o'clock, for the Hague, in a carriage with four post horses. On the following day (Tuesday) his Royal Highness received a long visit from his MAJESTY, and in the afternoon repaired to the palace, when he was received by the KING to take leave. His Royal Highness and suite left at half-past seven for Antwerp, by the public train. He was accompanied by Count SECKENDORF, Minister Plenipotentiary of Prussia, and Major-General BE• RIEMONT. Several distinguished Poles have arrived here; among them was the Princess Astrowska, with her family and suite ; the Princess Bibesco, sister of the reigning Prince of Wallachia, and suite ; Baron Stockmar, private secretary to the King; and also M. Emanuel Arago, Minister Plenipotentiary from the French Republic to Prussia, accompanied by M. Martinet, his secretary, en route from Paris to Berlin. —Journal du Commerce d' Anvers, June 1.

ITALY. SICILY. Intelligence one day later has been received from Messina, in Sicily. In the Primo Settembre, of May the Bth, 1848, the Prince ALEXANDER DI GONZAGA. MANTUA pub lishes an authenticated deed of procuration in which he expresses his ambition to participate in the holy struggle for the conquest of the independence of Italy. His Serene Highness declares his hope that some portion at least of the dominions of his family may be restored to him with the help of GoD, with the blessing of Pio Norio, and with the valour of the generous people of Italy. Among those possessions, he enumerates the duchy of Mantua, the duchy of Gnastalla the duchy of Sabionetta, the principalityf of Castiglione, of Stiviere, and the principality o f Bozzolo, the county of Novellara, the principality o Concordia, the duchy of Mirandola, together with the duchies of Parma and Piacenza. Of the ultimate ac knowledgment of some of (what may be called) these his dynastic rights, he is sanguine under the pro tection of OMNIPOTENCE, and with the benediction of the glorious Pio Nono. The document is dated from the residence of H. S. H. at Palermo, in Sicily on the 3d of May, 1148. LOMBARDY AND VENICE. Accounts fr om L om b ar d y state, t h at notwithstand ing the numerous forces concentrated under the orders of RA DETZKY, the soldiers o f A us t r i a we re weakened by discontent and disorganization, In the feebleness with which the siege of Treviso has been prosecuted, they suspect something of a treasonous intrigue, and in the sudden resignation of the command by General NUGENT, they imagine that there is a degree of double dealing. Had the old General been recognised on his arrival in Cone gliano he must certainly, from all accounts, have suf fered severe treatment from the exasp erated garrison. His person, however, is preserved from the murder ous hands of the Germans by a strong guard placed before the door of his resid ence as much for his pro tection as for a token of honour. General STUEMES was reported to have been on the 22d ult. at Visnadello, between Treviso and the right bank of the Piave. From the same source it would appear that the insurgents were more tranquil at Treviso. Some interesting particulars respecting the conduct of General PEPE are contained in the Pensiere Italian() of Genoa, of the 27th ult. It seems that on the arrival of General DELLA. LUNGA at Bologna, with dispatches from Naples, appointing him to the command of the army of the Neapolitans, together with instructions to order the return of the troops from the frontiers of Venetian Lombardy, General PEPE resigned his power as commander in chief, laying down his sword and epaullettes. Sub sequently however the Bolognese made a noble de monstration in his favour, for the purpose of inducing him to re-assume the command. Several Neapolitan officers joined Cue .A:it:lowa Lau thel r pi. leader, an d th e sta ff of the National Guar d w aited upon him i n d eputat i on. Seeing this, General . resumed his sword and swore fidelity to the Italian cause.
