Mare in* .. 40 rain. after 5 Eyening 3.. min. after 6 Etrenin,c =tut LONDON, WEDESDAT, MAT 24, 1848. Alarming intelligence has arrived from. different arts of Christendom in the midst of the festivities of tle racing season. Seldom perhaps has the Derby r) ay beenred in by tidings s o startling as those .-hieuh hav e s morning reached our shores from the mtinent. From Austria we learn that the Eit sz9Li. has fled from Vienna, accompanied by the itiPtss and several of the principal members of imperial ram*. From Athens we hear that most = the provinces of Greece are in open insurrection. From Russia, that the Asiatic cholera has again i,roken out in Moscow. From Spain, that Sir Bux.wsit has received his passports from sae office of the Duc DM SOTOMITOR, toge ther with the intimation that only twenty four hours are allowed him for his departure from 4 1 Adlid , — a message which has hitherto been always regarded as tantamount to a declaration of war. From Northern Italy the accounts are sufficiently unforturve in regard to the army of Liberation, if only in tie circumstance that NUGENT and RADETSLT have united their forces in spite of the skilful manosuvres and chivalrous audacity of King CARL° ALIMITO. In Prussia the Government still continues i n a state of deplorable embarrassment, in reference n oi pally to the recal of the Oc own Prince ; while the majority of the independent sovereignities of Ger manq are regarding with jealousy the progress of the ambitious intrigues of FRRDRILICL WILHEL3( in the Federal Parliament at Frankfort. Denmark is still fighting for the integrity of its dominions, anti the naval forces of Sweden and Norway com bined kre preparing to aid in the deliverance of Schleswig from its invaders. France is still balanced between Moderation and Communism. Belgium alone remains in a Ale of comparative quiescence, and Poitugal is beitag gradually irritated into a re volution by the shameless concentration of Power i n the grasp of the Cabranst?. Of all these remarkabli occurrences the one which appears to us to be of the most imminent import ance to ourselves is the abrupt dismissal of our Ambassador from the Court of Queen Islamma. By that insolent proceeding on the part of the despotic ! Administration of N ARVAE Z, the position of Spain f and England, in relation to each other, is altogether changed—whatever Lord PALMERSTON may (from motives of diplomatic delicacy) have said to the con trary in the House of Commons last evening. A positive rupture it may not be, but, without any question, the effect of it will be a decided estrange ment between the two Cabinets. England can never submit without indignity to the insult which has thus been offered to her SOVEREIGN through her Majesty's representative. Silence at such a moment would be more disgraceful than indifference at a flagrant insult to the national flag. It would degrade England in the eyes of Europe. It would be an evidence of poli tical poltroonery. And coming after the haughty missive of the Foreign Secretary, recommend ing a constitutional policy to the Ministerial advisers of her Most Catholic MAJESTY, it would be as con temptible as the cowardice of ACRES after his war like oath, " Odds daggers and bullets !" Of this we are satisfied, that the reputation of England is in safe keeping in the hands of Lord PALMERSTON, the Noble Viscount being about the very last man who would yield to the insolence of a VALExcia. or a SOTO MAYOR. Whatever may be the consequence of recent occurrences at Madrid, the sagacity of Lord PALMER STON will not be so far baffled, or the character of Sir HENRY BULWER be so far compromised, as to lead to the abasement of Great Britain in the estimation of the European nations. Of that there can be no question whatever. And here we would especially protest against the as. sertion now current in t he Spanish capital, either that the conduct of Sir HENRY BULWER is con demned, without any exception whatever, by the English journals, or repudiated by any one member of her Majesty's Government. Even when Lord LANSDOWNE commented most severely upon the correspondence between the British Ambassador at Madrid and the Spanish Minister for Foreign Af fairs, he distinctly asserted that to his thinking Sir H. BULWER had been actuated throughout by a soli citude to forward the wishes and to fulfil the intentions of his Government, and that however pre cipitate his first note to the Due DE SOTOMAYOR might appear in the eyes of any one resident at a distance, he made no doubt that his Excellency had thought differently (and with justice), from his long acquaintance with Spanish diplomacy, and from his immediate cognizance of events as they transpired around him. Of the falsity of the assertion that the conduct of Sir HENRY BULWER has called down upon his head the indiscriminate animadversions of the English press, the columns of The Sun are suffi ciently demonstrative ; for we have throughout re cognised the services of this distinguished Ambassa dor, and appreciated the probity and eminence of his diplomatic reputation. While the relations between Spain and England continue in this dubious position, it may not be un interesting to transcribe a brief calculation of the maritime power of the former country—the calcula tion being taken verbatim from one which has re cently appeared elsewhere. Here is the estimate : " One line-of-battle ship in commission, and one dis mantled; five frigates in commission, one disarmed; four corvettes in commission, one disarmed, two build ing; six brigs in commission; fire schooners in commis sion, one disarmed; five packet-boats, armed; nine ves sels of smaller dimensions in commission, and fourteen steamers, viz., one of 350 horse power, one 300, one of 2.50, two of 200, one of 190, three of 160, two of 100, one of 70, two of 40." Such is the naval force upon the strength of which Spain has dared to beard_ the puissance of England. It yet remains to be seen, however, whether the pro ceeding of the Duc DE SOTOMATOR towards Sir Hilmar BIILWER can be regarded as a sufficient cauau.s belli. A question of some importance arose last night on the motion for bringing up the report on the Chester and liolykead Railway Bill. Generally speaking, it is considered advisable that railway companies should not las permitted to interfere with other means of transit, mere especially that they should not become the proprietors of steam-packets, it being possible that if such were the ease they might be enabled to im pose restrictions and impediments in the way of rival companies, which would have the effect of creating a monopoly in that respect highly prejudicial to the public. In this particular instance, however, the Committee to whom the Bill had been referred de- parted from the usual course and sanctioned the establishment by the company of a line of packets between Holyhead and Dublin. Without at all en- tering into the question of the propriety of the prin. ciple heretofore adopted, it must be admitted that a very strong case was made on behalf of the company for its relaxation in their favour. The nature and circumstances of the intended railway must be borne in mind. It differs very materially from the great majority of those that have already heea constructed, or are in course of construction in this country, where the termini are situated in populous districts, which would afford an amount of traffic sufficient to pay a remunerating dividend on the necessary outlay. Few, however, of the passenge:s to Holy head go thither for the purpose of making any pro longed sojourn. It is merely a stage in the transit between England and Ireland, and the more rapidly it can be passed the better. As the Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Tamworth (who had been chairman of the Committee) truly remarked, " The Irish metropolis is the real terminus of the line." The railway will, when completed, form the most rapid mode of communication between the countries, shortening by nearly four hours the time in which the journey may be made—from London to Dablin, et vice versa. It is, therefore, very desirable that the conveyance for the entire distance should be under one control and management, so that every arrangement with respect to the periods of the arrival and departure of the several trains fad packets should be made in the most convenient and suitable manner. The packets might otherwise be so managed as to occasion a delay of some hours at Holyhead, which would not only be expensive and inconvenient to the passengers, but would altogether neutralize the advantages which the railway directors might be enabled to offer as as inducement to select their line in preference to any other route. But it is not merely on private grounds that the question should be decided. It is a matter of national importance that the time within which communications can be transmitted between London and Dublin should be reduced to the very utmost degree. When first-class steam-packets are placed upon the station and the e l ec t r i c te l egrap h i s l a id d own a l ong th e li ne, intelligence be received from or conveyed to Ireland in little more than three hours, while the whole journey may be performed in less than twelve hours ; so that a person who has breakfasted in one metropolis may dine in the other on the same day. Nothing can be bett er calculated to bind more closely the links by which the sister kingdoms r . are con nected, and to cement more firmly thumoneisting between them, than this practical of time and space ; affordi n g _ annihilation such extraordi nary facilities for social and commercial in tercourse. What stronger argument could be addressed to those who prate of separate nationalities, a n d w h o desire the dismemberment of the British empire. The national barriers will, if not wholly removed, be at least thereby rendered insignificant, and that which should be the chief object of the Legislature, viz., the perfect amalgamation of both countries, and the assimilation of their laws and customs, will be greatly promoted. In addition to these great advantages, there is another that should not be lost sight of. It is more than probable that Valentia will eventually be made the port of debarkation for the Western Hemisphere. When the projected lines of railways are carried into execution, we may hope that the passage from Lon don to New York may be made in little more than seven days, and communications received through electric telegraphs in even 20 hours less than that time. It is needless to expatiate on the vast benefits to England, to Ireland, to our Transatlantic colonies, and to the United States from such a result. Ireland will then be made the high road for visitors from the old to the new world. What the maritime genius of " WAGmoax " effected for the Eastern Hemis phere in opening new and more expe ditious routes must speedily be granted to the Western. It cannot be postponed. The Chester and Holyhead line will form a very ma terial link in the chain of communication, and every power should be conferred that may aid in producing the great result. Under all the circumstances we THE SUN, LONDON% are convinced that public opinion will confirm the statement of the Right Hon. President of the Board of Trade, " That if ever the House were to permit railway companies to become steam-boat proprietors, and the double power to be enjoyed, it ought to be in this particular case." SPAIN. Madrid Journals of the 18 th have arrived. The Spanish Government had on that day sent Sir H. BLTLWER his passport, with orders to leave Madrid in 24 hours. This is another part of the plan of reaction to which we have before alluded, and is the conse quence of Orleanist intrigues. It is a somewhat curious circumstance that since the expulsion of Louis PHILIPPE from France Queen ISABELLA has been acknowledged by Prussia and Austria, and that for the first time for sixteen years there is at the pre sent moment a Spanish Ambassador at Madrid and a Spanish Ambassador at Vienna. The military revolt at Seville on the night of the 13th was a more serious affair than the Government organs choose to acknowledge. After some fighting in the streets, the insurgents, consisting of four com panies of the infantry regimeut of Guadalajara, and about 100 cavalry, retreated from the town in the di rection of Huelva, taking with them two field pieces. During the row the alarm of the Duke and Duchess DE MONTPENSIER was excessive, and everything was prepared for their embarkation upon the river Guadal quiver at a moment's notice. There are now few regiments in the army that the Government can implicitly trust. Almost all have been tampered with, either by Carlists or Pro gresistas. The civil war in Catalonia is assuming its former repulsive and cruel character. Reprisals, which, in the end, will terminate in acts of downright butchery, are becoming the order of the day. Numerous arrests of individuals connected by blood with the insurgents have taken place at Olot and its neighbourhood. They have all been sent to the fortress of San Fernando, at Figueras, and the Commandant-General of the above district (Olot) has demanded permission of General PAVIA to imprison the fathers and mothers, or the nearest relatives of those who have joined the Afatines, until they make their submission to the authorities. The chiefs MAUSAL, EsTaains, CASTELLS, and POLAS have decidedly chosen the province of Gerona as the theatre of their operations. Nothing but the want of funds prevent the Car lists from taking the geld in force in Navarre, Arragon, and the Basque Provinces. Senor ESCOSURi has been arrested at Toledo, and is being conveyed to Madrid under a strong guard. General Count MAaasoL has been dispatched to London on a special mission to explain the circum stances under which the Spanish Government thought it expedient to send Sir HENRY BULITER his passports• SOTOMAYER accuses Sir H. BuLwaz of intriguing with the Progressists, and of having fomented the recent revolt in Seville, and states that he has docu mentary evidence to prove these accusations. It will not be the first time that the Orleanist partizans have backed up falsehood by forgery. Mr. lamer is left in charge of the British Embassy. MADRID BOMA, MAY 18.—Three per Cents., 21 Five per Cents., 131. Exchange on London, 42. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes two ordonnances signed by the members of the Executive Committee of Government, ordering the permanent closing of the club Raspail and the club Blanqui. The Journal des Dibats says—" It was currently reported last evening that a serious division had taken place among the members of the Executive Com mittee since the evening of the 16th of May, and that it was not thought possible they could any longer act together in conducting the affairs of the country." The Committee on Labour mast on Monday to agree to their report. They have nominated M. IIVOL• LOWSKI reporter. _ The Committee appointed to prepare a project for a constitution meet every day. Its sittings last fre quently for five or six hours. M. CORMJNIN has been named reporter. M. LAbiENNAIS has resigned his seat in this Committee. It is said that Sunday had been fixed upon for the carrying into effect a plot against the National As sembly. The conspirators intended to set fire to the theatres, and in the confusion to seize and carry off forty members of the Assembly. The Go vernment, however, had received information of their intentions, and adopted such measures as prevented the conspirators from carrying their intentions into effect. We find the following on this subject in the Constitutionne 1 : "It might have been remarked that many legions of Paris had only furnished a very small number of men for the review. The following is the reason : In different quarters the National Guards were invited not to leave home, for that during the fête a plot was to break out. The plot was, it was said, to cut several fountains, to set fire to the theatres, and, during the confusion, to seize about forty repre sentatives, marked out beforehand. It was on this account that the firemen were all uader arms, and that many were on duty in the mairies of each arrondissement. The discovery of this infernal project was owing to the workmen of the national ateliers. One declared t hat he had been offered fifty francs to go with his brigade to Halle. lie did not h es it a t e t o inform the authorities. It is positively the fact that the attempt did not take place only because the authorities had been warned. In the evening, some men, carrying banners, crossed the Place de la Concorde, shouting • Vire Barbs !' They separated, however, on learning that the Garde Mobile were coming up to meet them." An attempt, which had nearly proved successful, was made by BA&DES to escape from Vincennes on Sunday. He had passed several doors when a Garde Mobile on duty arrested him and conducted him back to his place of confinement. The Constitutionnel says that the Government has received a telegraphic dispatch from Toulon, an nouncing that the workmen employed in the Dock yard had revolted, and had obtained possession of the Government Arsenal. The outbreaks at Rouen and Lyons were contrived by the clubs of Paris, and intended to support the communist movement of the lath of May, had that proved successful. It is said that the Prince DB Jourruzas is in Paris. The publication of these letters of the Prince Ds Jorvvirs.z by the Presse has created a great sensa tion, and is looked upon as the first formidable at tempt at a reaction. The National publishes a long article on the subject. Speaking of the recent pro. ceedinrs of the Presse it says :-- "Yesterday the Presse, after drawing a very frightful picture of our present position, and having asked if the Republic was to hare a President, or three Consuls, or five Dictators, or a Committee, and being opposed to each of these plans, _objections which it considered serious, it comes to the following significant conclusion: --‘ The situation is an impasse, out of which we cannot go without retracing our steps.' To-day the same journal is still more clear, so clear i ndeed thati t does not dare to take the direct responsibility of the idea which it circulates. It brings the imaginary Citizen Gilles, who, after arguing on a preceding article in which France was compared to a sinking ship, concludes, with the most candid air in the world, with the followinginno cent phrase : If it be to a general shipwreck that the Republican system is to conduct us, it is better that we should return to a system winch, in point of fact, has given as seven teen years of the greatest tranquillity. Gustave " Here th en i s t h e quest i on regularly starte d , an d we head-q uarters c now know wh ere t h e enemy i s. He has esta b l i shed hi s Gilles,theoffi office of th is e Press., a his mnpdeteitr, T is the e fanfare is brilliant, and will have its effect. The Presse which knows how desirable it • is to strike while the iron is hot, follows up M. Gilles's proposition with eight letters from the Prince de Joinville to an officer of the navy, for . the sole purp ose , us i t assures us, of prov i ng to the Na t ional that the ex-G ran d Ad m i ra l i s not i n Paris. The proof is, in fact, conclusive, and admits of no reply, for as the last of the letters is dated Claremont, near London, the 11th May, it is evident that M. de Join vine, who was at Claremont on the 11th, could not be in Paris on the 20th, the distance from England to France is so great." THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. LAMARTINE'S STATEMENT OF THE FO REIGN POLICY OF FRANCE. The National Assembly met at one o'clock yesterday, and in consequence of a report that an attack was in tended on the Assembly, considerable precautions were taken. Six pieces of artillery were placed in the Court. Strong detachments of National Guards and Gerdes Mobiles occupied the precincts of the Hall, and the quays in the neighbourhood were occupied by cavalry. General Baraguay d'llilliers (in full uniform)—The National Assembly had passed a decree, after the events of May 15, investing him with the command of the troops especially appointed for the defence of the Chamber. Ho had, however, in the course of the morning, been in- formed by the President and the Minister of War that he must consider himself under his orders in everything relating to the service just alluded to. He had now to state that be could not accept the responsibility of acts of which he had not the direction. It was not the mere keening of the door of the Chamber, or of the gate of the Palace, that he considered was entrusted to him, but the power of calling on such troops as he might deem requisite. In consequence, be begged leave to tender back to the National Assembly the command which had been entrusted to him.—(Movement.) M de Larochejaquelin, finding that no person seemed inclined to alluee to the incident just spoken of, deemed it his dut y to allude to it. The Na tional Assembly s had passed a d ecree con f err i ng on Ge neralgileaY dHilliers the command of the forces re quired defence of the Ch am b er , an d now they that this decree was revok e d an d another order o f e esta blished! He mu s t p ro t es t aga i ns t any one wtrhe nt Bo forg to l d d Baraguay presuming to interfere with the decrees passed by the Assembly.—(Hear, hear.) General Cavaignac (Minister of War) wished to say two words in explanation. All that had been done was to place in the hands of the Minister of War the com mand of all the forces of the kingdom, as always had been practised. He had no desire or intention to inter fere unnecessarily with General Baraguay d'Hilliers, but it was evident that there co uld not be two independent comman ds, one in that officer's hands, and the other in the hands of the Minister of War. All that he (General Cavaignac) had done was to vindicate his rights as com mander-in-chief. The President declared that he had not the slightest idea of depriving General Baraguay d'Hilliers of a place which he had filled with the greatest energy and ability, and to the evident advantage of the Assembly. In the morning General Cavaignac had come to him (the Pre sident), and inquired if he were not the commander in-chief of all the army—in France, in Paris, as well as elsewhere —over the troops defending the National Assembly as well as others. The answer given was, that undoubtedly he was, and that he could always give such orders as he might deem necessary for the safety of the Members —that the general in command had full power over his own attributions, but still that he was evidently under the command, like all other generals in the service, the orders of the commander .in-chief. " Iu using such language, continued the President, "Iby no means intended to prejudge any question ; and I declare to the Assembly that I am horribly vexed, deeply grieved that I should have caused pain to persons with whom I have been for years on the most intimate terms." --(Hear.) He felt he was acting as the interpreter of the views of the whole Assembly when he expressed the regret they would feel if General Baraguay d'Hilliers persisted in his determination to resign the command confided to him.—(Hear, hear.) General Baraguay d'Hilliers did not understand the command which he had received in the light which the President and Minister of War appeared to consider it. He must repeat his former assertion, and declare that he could not accept the responsibility of ensuring the de fence of the National Assembly, if the power committed to him was not left at his own disposal.—(Great agita tion.) He certainly should persist in giving in his resig mation.—(Continued agitation, in the midst of which, in striking the bell against the bureau, he had the misfor tune to break it, as was evident the moment after by the cracked sound which it sent forth.) The President should propose to the Assembly to vote that the resignation of the Gallant General be not ac cepted.—(Confused cries of " Yes! yes!" " No! no!" agitation.) Well, then, he should propose that the re signation be accepted, and that a vote of thanks be passed to the General.—(Hear, hear.) The question was then put, and the Assembly decided by a very small majority that the resignation, which the General persisted in tendering, should be accepted. It then passed unanimously a vote of thanks to him for his services. The order of the day was the interpellations on the affairs of Poland arid 'rely. M. d'Aragon declared that, after the new revolution which had taken place at Vienna, he did not intend per sisting in the demand for explanations which he had made—he thought it better to leave the Executive Com mittee fully at liberty.—(Hear, hear.) M. Wolowski said that he was requested to express, in the name of the Polish refugees now in Paris, their horror at the dreadful attack which had been made on the 15th on the Assembly, under the pretext of a desire to obtain sympathy and assistance for Poland. The Hon. Deputy then at great length defended the Polish cause, in lan guage similar to that which he employed on the 15th of May, when the crowd burst in. He concluded that the National Assembly would declare that the independence of Poland should be set forth to the world as one of the great objects of its foreign policy. M. Vavin thought that it would be an insult to the Assembly to make any appeal to it in favour of Poland, the rights of that country being fully acknowledged. He believed it to be alike for the interest of Franco and for the good of humanity to have Poland reconstituted into an independent state. lie therefore should propose, that with a view to aid the Executive Committee in the furtherance of their policy with respect to Poland, the National Assembly should vote a declaration to the effect that it considered it necessary for the security of Europe to restore Poland to her place as an independent State. M. Sarrdus defended the cause of Poland, but thought the best mode of proceeding would be to apply to the Diet of Frankfort in favour of Poland. M. Richard also addressed the Assembly at some length in favour of Polish independence. Prince Napoleon Bonaparte considered the cause of Poland was an eminently French question, but he did not think that the declaration just spoken of ought to be passed, unless the National Assembly was prepared to at once order a large levy of men for war, With out that eventuality being looked at as a pro bability, it would be useless to pass the de claration, nor could be approve of an appeal to the Diet of Frankfort, as there would then be two great assemblies treating, independently of the Executive Committee. What he thought ought to be done was, to formally call on Prussia and Austria to place Posen and Gallicia in such a position as the treaties of 1815 had decided.on. That course, he thought, was the first that ought to be had recourse to. Should such means fail, there was evidently war at the end of the negotiation, for in all diplomatic matters war or peace was the ultimatum. To do less than what he suggested would be ingratitude, to do more was not at present re quired. lie should conclude by proposing that "the National Assembly should send a communication to the P rto. olish legi C on ra c c Courts of Prussia and Austria, calling on them to act dh e c e f t o ~Ptr o sh e e c 'H onourable Deputy also demanded with h to a T d h treaties The Minister of War considered that France ought to constituted in Gallicia , Fran c a e s . appeal to the great cause of justice alone in favour of Poland. To demand the execution of the treaties of 1815 might lead to war, which he did not think the Assembly was prepared to vote for. To pass the decla ration just proposed would, in all probability, have the effect of showing to Europe what were the views of France relative to Poland; but he thought that it should be clearly understood that it was by moral force that France should at present endeavour to act on the various nations of Europe, and not by force. M, de Lamartine began by expressing his firm con viction that the French Republic would succeed in settling all the questions now pending with Europe, without giving offence to any power. The Provi sional Government had not wasted the time after the revolution in February, but had at once shown its sympathy with Poland by passing a decree for the organisation of a Polish legion in France. The events had advanced too quick to allow that matter to be pro ceeded with. The lion. Deputy here referred to the correctness of the presentiments which the Provisional Government had exhibited in the manifesto which it had issued to the various Powers in Europe. [He here read a portion of the well-known manifesto of the foreign policy of the Republic, in which it is declared that France would make war on no power, but that it would support every country that might, in the effort to recover its liberty, call to it for aid.] The promise made in that document to bring all the questions that might arrive intact before the National Assembly had, he said, been fully kept. He then alluded to the va rious attempts of invasion that had been made on and Germany, and declared that they Go vernment. lfe next spoke of insurrection in Italy , an d had been S madeaYc' co ntrary to the wish of the French declared that France bad no intention whatever to inter fere in any part of that eo e untry..

NVEDNESnA,Y EVENING, IVIA.V 14, itma4 GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. FLIGHT OF THE EMPEROR. The Preussische Staatsanzeiger of the 21st inst. contains the following important information from Vienna of the 18th inst.:--- His Majesty the EMPEROR with the EMPRESS drove last evening about six o'clock through the town in the direction of Mariahilf. He was cheered by the people, and returned their salutations. It was thought he was going to Schonbrunn. An empty imperial travelling-carriage followed an hour after wards in the same direction, and four more tra velling.carriages, with six horses each, fol lowed about nine o'clock. It became then evident that the Imperial Family had quitted Vienna. Early in the morning this event was announced by posted bills, containing a manifesto of the Ministry, who had before tendered their resignation, but who, at the en treaties of the EMPEROR and the University, had consented to remain in office ad interim. The Minis ters stated that a merely verbal communication had informed them of this sudden departure, for which the EMPEROR'S health was given as a motive, and that Innspruck had been fixed upon as his residence. They added, that the Commander of the National Guard, Count ,Hoyos, accompanied by Count WILCZEK, was already gone after the EhiPEROR, with a view of in ducing him to return. During the day it was found necessary to close the National Bank, the rush upon it being too violent for business to be properly transacted. Small parties are, however, admitted, and the payments of the Bank have not been suspended. _ The following is a copy of the Ministerial procla mation . " This day, about nine o'clock in the evening, have the Ministers been verbally and most unexpectedly informed that his Majesty the Emperor, from motives of health, with the Empress and the Archduke Francis Charles and his Royal Consort, and three Princes, have left the capital and proceeded in the direction of Innspruck. "The undersigned Ministry, being ignorant of the reasons and details of this journey, feel it their duty to bring the same to the cognizance of the inhabitants of this capital. " The Ministry have likewise thought it their duty to send the Commander of the National Guard, Count Hoyos, as a trustworthy man, to his Majesty with the urgent request to dispel the apprehensions of the people, either by the Emperor's return, or a statement of the reasons which make it impossible. The same urgent request will be laid before the Archduke by Count W ilczek. " The Council of Ministers are, moreover, fully sen sible of the duty they have to fulfil at this important moment—namely, to devote their undivided care and at tention to the interests of the country, and to act on their own responsibility as circumstances shall demand. Whatever information the Ministers may receive re specting this event, they will at once faithfully and completely publish. If direct commands or communi cations from the Monarch should reach them, they will likewise publish them. " Vienna, May 17, 1848. " PILLERSDORF. " LATOUR. " SOM lIARUGA. " DOBLHOFF. " KAUSS. " BAUMGARTNER: , The Preussische Staatsanzeiger contains another Vienna letter of the 18th at noon, in which it is said— " The news of the Emperor having left Vienna has thrown the town into the most violent excitement. The whole of the inhabitants have unanimously voted for the Emperor and fur the maintenance of a constitutional monarchy. A few ill-advised youths tried to revolutionize the suburbs and to proclaim a republic. The National Guards had great trouble in saving them from being torn to pieces by the enraged multitude. Everybody is eager to restore order. A deputation is going to com municate to the Emperor the general wish for his return." It is a strange coincidence that at the very time of the EMPEROR'S departure the official organ of the Court, the Wiener Zeitung, was concocting a leading article on the utter impossibility of such an occur rence. The article, which was most awkwardly published on the morning of the 18th, runs as follows : " We understand the Central Committee of the Na tional Guard intend to request Ministers to retain their posts. We trust that the Ministers have a proper sense of their own position, and will not consent to anything of the kind. So striking a proof of the want of public confidence as the Ministers have had on the night of the 15th inst. will not allow them to remain under any con ditions whatever." The article proceeds next to advert to England, where a change of Ministry is accompanied by a similar change in the SOVEREIGN'S household, and hints that the Emperor of AUSTRIA would do well if he followed this example : " Those who surround the Emperor have wilfully misinformed him of the true character of the rising of the 15th. They stated that rising was against the Monarch; that he was no longer sate in his own capital. We will speak frankly. The time for whispers, innuen does, and tergiversations is gone by. The Emperor's departure would be like the flight of Louis Philipp. His last day at Vienna would be the first day of the Republic. It is not only the Emperor's interest, but it is also his duty, to remain at Vienna." The object of this article is not very clear, unless it is to frighten the people of Vienna with a threat, the execution of which the writer thought improbable, if not impossible. The Wiener Zeitung also contains a severe but just article on the contrast between the words and acts of the Fors. In the report of Field-Marshal RADvrzicy to the Minister of War, the Count says-- "In conclusion, I must call the attention of the Minister of War to a very peculiar fact—namely, at St. Lucia, the enemy's men were treated by the POPE'S Swiss troops. This is singularly at variance with the amicable assurance made by his HouivEss," concludes this article, " this Prince of Peace, instead of reconciling contending parties throws oil upon the fire ; then surely it is high time that the words spoken by HUTTRN and SICHINGEN, three hundred years ago, were carried into effect. The ecclesiastical and political reform of Germany will never be com plete so long as a dependent relation subsists between us and Rome." FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. BELGIUM. CHANGE IN THE MINISTRY. BRUSSELS, MAY 22.—The Courrier Belge says : "We are assured that M. FRERE CREAN will not leave the Cabinet, and that the only change which will take place there is the withdrawal of M. VEYDT." In their meeting of Friday, the Diet adopted a very important resolution, for the purpose of estab lishing a perfect similarity in all the customs and other duties affecting trade and manufactures in Ger many ; and in order that there might be amongst all the German states but one uniform system of taxa tion, they proposed that applications may be made to the following states :—To Austria, to Prussia, and the Zollverein states, to Hanover, and the states that have united in its system; to the Duchy of Holstein, the two Duchies of blecklenburg, and to the Free Hansa states, Lubeck, Bremen, and Hamburgh. The object of the applications to these different powers is to send to Frankfort men who are thoroughly ac quainted with the subjects of trade, customs, and taxation, in order that, in accordance with their sug gestion, one uniform system of customs taxes may be adopted for the entire of Germany. HBRIt STARNIER, the representative of Frankfort, who signed the protocol of the 4th of May, the publication of which has given rise to riots through out Germany, had addressed the following letter to his constituents, explanatory of the degree of import ance which is to be attached to that protocol : " A great number of persons have attached to the separate protocol of the 4th of this month much more importance than those who affixed their signatures to it; and as it has given rise to much uneasiness, I feel myself compelled to address a few words to my fellow-citizens upon the tenor and the object of that document. " The duty imposed upon the Diet as well as on the seventeen delegates who have been attached to it, as bearing upon the National Assembly, consisted, as I conceive, in making every due preparation for the pur pose of more completely attaining the main object aimed at in the National Assembly, and that is, the creation of a Germany which might be formidable abroad, united at home—constituting with its various nationalities a closely combined Federal State. " Consequently, it became the duty of the seventeen confidential men annexed to the Diet, to construct a fundamental law for the empire. It was the duty of the Diet, and especially of the commission (the commission of revision) nominated by it, to ascertain precisely how far that which was projected corresponded with the views of the different states. " The question of knowing if the Constituent Assem bly would accept this project for the purpose of making it the basis of .their discussions had to be ascertained; and, at all events, the said project was a preparatory labour, which was to be performed by the seventeen confidential men. " It was not until the 17th April that the seventeen delegates annexed to the Diet, submitted to the latter the project of the fundamental law which bad been constructed by them. It was then impossible to know or to discuss, up to the time of opening the Const itue nt Assembly, the views of the different Governments as to this project. " In this state of things the commission of revision not being able to complete a work which cou ld correspond with the nature of the task imposed upon them, sub s mitted to the Diet, on the 4th of this month, in place9f a regular report, a simple memorandum —that is, the in dividual labour of one of its own members ; and, in doing so, calling attention to the fact, that it contained, "The Roman Government which has to coraphon, in part at least, remarks and suggestions which deserved the violence exercised against its merchant ships by tne to be taken into consideration, and then proposiing that Austrian squadron, has placed its flag under the pratec the ambassadors should demand instructions from their tion of Naples and Sardinia; the defence of the cosen3tre respective Governments relative to the fun damental law of the Pontificial States is being organised, and !i; of the empire ; and transmitting to them , at the same getic remonstrances are being made to the Austria time, the memorandum, in order that they might take Government through the Roman consul at Trieste. , . cognizance of it.

Baron LEDERER, the Commander-in-Chief, has fled to Vienna. The troops were to take the oath of allegiance to the Hungarian constitution on the 12th. Our corre spondent, writing at 10 o'clock at night on the 11th inst., says— " There is now no means of stopping the revolutionary torrent ; the people have insisted on the return of the Hungarian troops from the foreign provinces. The Radicals are stirring—everywhere mobs of people surround the revolutionary speakers. A grand popular meeting is to be held to-morrow. It is now ten at night —the whole town is alive. The moon shines bright— numbers of people crowd about tke streets. Speeches are making in the open air—the troops have been con signed to the citadel and the barracks —every post is occupied by the National Guard. Tranquillity will not be disturbed to-night, but to-morrow must be a decisive day. It is rumoured that Paul Nyari, the leader of the Radicals, has been directed to form a Ministry. Count Batthyani, the Prime Minister, arrived an hour ago from Vienna, whither he had repaired to send in his resigna tion. Paul Nyari has taken upon himself to raise on the spot 30,000 men. " I am informed that thirty persons were wounded dangerously in yesterday's affray ; four have already died. According to the law of the country, the troops cannot interfere till they are called out by the civil authority. They not only did so yesterday, but rushed upon the unarmed people, and charged them mercilessly without the slightest warning or summons to retire. The Italian soldiers alone stood motionless, notwithstanding the orders of their officers. Public thanks were voted to them in to-day's meeting. General do Lederer fled during the night, and is on his way to Vienna, but the Austrian Government will be forced to give him up. The demand is already dispatched. The Hungarian colonel, Maurice Boyneburg, has provisionally taken the command-in-chief of the troops at Ofen." SWITZERLAND.

The object of the Confederation is to secure the independence of the country against foreign aggression, to maintain tranquillity and order at home, to protect the liberty and rights of the people, and to increase their common prosperity. "3. The different cantons are sovereign, inasmuch as that sovereignty does not infringe on the Federal Con stitution, and as such they exercise all the rights which are not vested in the Federal Government. ___ " 4. All Swiss are equal in the eyes of the law. There is no privilege of birth, person, or family. "5. The Confederation guarantees to the different cantons their territory and rights as fixed by article 3. " 7. All separate alliances between different cantons is prohibited; but they have a right to enter into conven- tions among each other for legislative objects, provided the same be submitted to and sanctioned by the federal authority. " 8. The Confederation alone has the right to declare war and make peace, as well as to make treaties with foreign states. "9. Cantons may make treaties with neighbouring states on local subjects provided they do not in any way infringe on the power conferred on the federal govern ment. " 11. Military capitulations are forbidden. " 12. No members of the federal authority, or civil or military functionaries, can receive any distinctions or pensions from foreign governments. "13. The Confederation cannot keep up a permanent military establishment. " 14. In case of any difference arising between the cantons, it is to be settled according to the federal laws. "15. In case of any danger from without, the threat. ened canton is to apply for assistance to the Confedera tion, and to advise the Federal Government of the s ame . The expenses are to be shared by the Confederation. " 16. In cases of internal disorders i❑ a canton, an immediate application is to be made to the Federal Government, which will adopt the necessary measures for their repression, and the cantons called on are to lend their aid. The expenses are to be paid by the canton requiring such assistance. " 17. In a case arising as stated in the preceding arti cle, the cantons are to allow a free passage to the troops marching to suppress the disorders." ITALY. TUSCANY, LOMBARDY, AND VENICE. The States of Massa Carrara, Lunigana, and Gar fagnana have declared in favour of a union with Tuscany, and a decree to that effect has been pub lished at Florence. The siege of I'eschiera still continues. The pro• spects of the Italians in Lombardy and Venice are somewhat clouded. The Constitutionnel gives the following resume of the state of affairs in the North of Italy : "The Venetian provinces have but badly performed the noble part which had been assigned them by recent events, as the advanced guard of Italian independence against the armies of Austria. We have, seen that the Isonzo has not been defended. Udine yielded after a few hours' weak resistance; Portogruaro, Pordenone, Belluno, and Feltre surrendered without firing a shot. Thus the line of the Tagliamento, and afterwards that of the Piave, were delivered up to the enemy. Genera l Zucchi alon e , shut up with 3,000 men in the fortress of Palma Nova, maintains in that advanced post the honour of Venice. The German journals, however, state, that after having sustained a long bombardment, that place is ready to surrender. " Durando, who had advanced as far as Bas sri retired to Piazzola, to support Ferrari, wh fel l back o, h o s e s A Tr u e s v t i r s i o a , e a s t on t h h e e b e a t t h tle fe o r f eed Coruthne line d a ./i e e t ve t r h t e he p l i ;s y s e , , th ee e the road to Treviso, in spite of the resistance of some a t t a artillery c keg , w f h e o r ees, were a f t o e b r l i g e e p d i k t i o n g retire t.h their r before s th . e s o lo e r t i h o e i t l e t, d the s A g u r s e t i n a ti n , s e attacked tTer an action b which r lasted fn ten hours. the " g ß e e t d e o e u f bt s s thaTehbeemeene.raised Theifinrfront th o e f h th e e tte to ri w ee n , , s n k e i a i r . fully directed by the Milanese volunteers, threw disorder into the Austrian ranks. th e second Three h ao y r t t h ie e s, lt t a h l e ise fir l s e t gi b o y n the Milanese volunteers , from Paris, amon gst whom are a number of Frenchmen, and the third by the Pontifical volunteers, completed the discouragement of the assailants; in spite of this advantage Ferrari felt that it would be impossible for him to maintain himself at Treviso, and he therefore concentrated his forces, amounting to 7,000 men, at Mestre, a few miles from Venice. When there he re ceived orders to detach 3,000 men froni his force to pro tect Venice. Durando at the same time was requested by the general in command at Venice to retreat on that city, in order to secure it from a coup de main. " If this news be correct, the road is perfectly opened to Coant Nugent to effect a junction with Radetzky at Verona unless the citizens of Trieste and Vicenza op pose his passage by a most desperate resistance. " By sea Venice is still blockaded ; but the Adri atic is covered with friendly vessels. The Neapolitan squadron, anchored at Ancona, has received orders to proceed to Venice, raise the blockade, and defend the coast. The Piedmontese squadron, composed of three frigates, a corvette, three brigs of war, and two steamers, will also come to the assistance of Venice.
