The memorial from the citizens of Dublin praying for an extension of the royal mercy to Mr. SMITE O'BRIEN (and as a natural consequence to his mis guided associates, who have been convicted before the Special Cornnsission, now sitting at Clonmel), was paesented on Monday to his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, ley the deputation appointed for that purpose. The numerous and influential sidznatures attached to the petition--the universal feeling of men of all classes, shades, and varieties of political feeling in support of its prayer, coupled with the strong and unanimous recommendation of the jury by whom the verdict was returned, which subjected the unfortunate gentleman to the fearful Penalties prescribed by the law for those convicted of high treason, afford the strongest hope that the Go vernment will comply with the general desire that the lives of all parties concerned may be spared, and that the public may not be horrified by the execution of the barbarous sentence. This expectation is strengthened by the demeanour of the distinguished nobleman who has so ably discharged the duties of the Viceroyalty of Ireland during a period of unex ampled difficulty, when receiving the deputation ; and by the tone and character of his reply to the Lord Mayor of the Irish metropolis, and the other influential gentlemen who accompanied his Lordship in his . mission of mercy. Th e appl i cation was judiciously limited to the remission of the extreme penalty. There was no undue interference with the royal v•erogative, no attempt at dictation, as to the azure or amount of the punishment that should be lubstituted for that of death and mutilation. The memorial simply stated that the petitioners "cor d:a:ly concurred in the recommendation of the jury by whom the prisoner had been found guilty, and Dumbly and earnestly entreated the exercise of her Marosra's gracious prerogative of mercy in his favour." ;although no definite answer was returned, on the ground that the Commission was still sitting at Clonmel, and occupied with the trial of persons charged with the same offence, and also that notice of • writ of error had been given, yet his Excellency gave the strongest assurance that " full weight should be given to the recommendation of the highly; respectable jury who tried Mr. O'BRIEN." A general impression, therefore, prevails, that justice will be tempered with mercy towards all the State prisoners. The citizens of Dublin have not, however, been singular in the expression of their feeling. A similar memorial was adopted at a meeting held at Cork, which was likewise attended by men of all parties, and which was signed by the mayor, clergy men, magistrates, and other inhabitants of that ancient city. The latter document is worthy of the highest consideration. It enters at greater length into the reasons which render it most impolitic and unwise " to carry out the dreadful sen tence of the law " than the Dublin memorial. The application is made not only on behalf of Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, but of all the State prisoners under sentence of death for high treason, and it is made not merely as an,appeal to the feelings of humanity, which must be entertained by every person who, considers the circumstances of the case, but of sound policy and expediency. The petitioners say— "lt would be unbecoming of us to make any appeal to your Excellency's humane feelings. We are satisfied, mercy unsolicited, would pre vail if those feelings were allowed to prevail. But in these afflicting cases the sterner influences of State feelings interpose, and therefore, as lovers of our native land, believing that its social amelioration can alone proceed under the protection and influence of peace, law, and order, and anxious to promote contentment amongst the people, we venture to express earnestly to your Excellency our deliberate conviction that the exercise in the present instance of the noblest prerogative of the Crown will tend to secure the tranquillity of the country, and the loyalty of the people. " In the name then of the citiz e ns of C o rk, without distinction of creed, class, or party, we venture to en treat in this instance the exercise of the Queen's prerogative. Let it interpose between the awful sentence of the law and its execution ; then will the lasting gratitude of the nation be secured, and under every social suffering it will be testified in a manner most pleasing to your Excellency by the peaceful demeanour of the people, and by their unalterable attachment to her Majesty's person, her throne, and dignity." We extract the foregoing passages verbatim. They should be considered without curtailment or mutila tion. They express the views of intelligent men, well acquainted with the national character, who have themselves the strongest interest in the main tenance of peace and tranquillity, important stake s in the welfare and prosperity of the country. They believe that tranquillity will be restored and pre served by an act of mercy—they believe that pros perity will be promoted, that the disaffected will be won over by the certainty that they live under a mild, a paternal, and a powerful Government, that can afford to exhibit moderation and leniency in the punishment of offences that are invariably more severely dealt with, in proportion to the strength of the conspirators and the prospects of success that attended their efforts. The object of punishment is not revenge—it is to deter others from the perpe tration of similar crimes,; to act as a warning and example to those who might offend in like manner. That object, however, would be better attained by a different course. The crime of high treason is happily a rare one in modern days. Forty•tive years have elapsed since any person has been convicted on a similar charge in Ireland, and every feeling of dis• loyalty that might induce parties to indulge in feel ings of a treasonable character would be better eradi cated by a course which would, indeed, make our SOVEREIGN rule in the hearts and affections of her subjects, rather than by attempting to restrain them by the baser influences of terror and coercion. A few years ago the people of England and the people of France were astonished and delighted by an event then unprecedented in royal annali---the visit of her Majesty Queen VICTORIA to the KING of the FRENCH. The familiar intercourse which from that time subsisted between the royal families of France and England still further delighted, if it no longer astonished, the loyal subjects of both countries. When Queen VICTORIA and King LOUIS PHILIPPE rode together, sans ceremonie, in the char-a-bane at Eu, or when Sir ROBERT PEEL and M. GUIZOT strolled arm-in-arm under the oaks of Windsor, the reality of the entente cordiale became comprehensible to the multitude. Appearances, however, are proverbially deceitful, and such appearances, convincing as they might have been for the moment, were anything but conclusive proofs of the stability of the entente cordiale. The true philanthropist, solicitous for the fraternity of nations as any member of the Peace Congress, would have turned with an indifferent air from the contemplation of Royal visits and Ministerial civilities to scrutinize the secret sentiments of the people of the two countries. By the homely fireside, aid not in the regal reception room or ministerial bureau, would we have sought to test the stability of the cordial understanding. Experience has manifested the wisdom of such a course. What would a personal friendship between her Britannic MAJ,NsTv and LOUIS PHILIPPE avail now in a political point of view ? Or what would be the worth of the best understanding in the world between Sir ROHERT PEEL and M. Guizor at the present moment under existing circumstances ? If the entente cordiale had only meant a cordial under standing between the Sovereigns and Ministers of France and England, then that entente cordiale would now be at an end. But happily the words had a far wider signification. Happily they may now be pronounced as truthfully and as appropriately as ever. This fact will be apparent to any one who takes the trouble to inquire into the mutual relations of the two countries. This fact will be apparent, without trouble on the part of the inquirer, to any one who may chance to remark the blue coats and glittering ca.griues of the i'rench National Guard which are daily to be seen in every street in London. The visit of the French National Guard to England is, to our thinking, an immeasurably more convincing proof of the amicable relations of the two countries than the royal interviews at the Chateau d'Eu, or the return visit to Windsor Castle. The visit of the National Guard is a very significant and most satis factory sign of the times. It is true, Frenchmen have often before visited England, and English natords have long since been conspicuous on the Continent, but the travellers in both cases have only travelled as indivi duals, and their wanderings, however influential to hemselves, have been in consequence politically in significant. In the present instance it is otherwise. It is not a group of chance travellers from France that we encounter in our daily promenades, it is the National Guard of France, in their public and na tional capacity, come to fraternize with the people of England. Military though their appearance be (for the French are essentially a nation of soldiers), these strangers are neither more nor less than the very people—the shopkeepers of France, come to mingle with the " nation of shopkeepers," as they term us, This is a practical illustration of the principle of universal fraternity—an illustration more solemn and more significant, because more tangibly real, than the con tinual inscription of the word upon every •rdre du jour of the Republic—an illustration as solemn and as significant as the first proclamation of that word by the philanthropic Republican amid the stormiest tumults of revolution. The proposition of universal disarmament set forth by a member of the Peace Congress, and approved by Mr. COBDEN, is immeasur ably less calculated to promote the cause of universal peace, than is the appearance of these armed French men in the streets of London. Cordially they have come, and cordially they have been welcomed. They have been greeted with British hospitality, which they have acknowledged with more than their pro verbial politeness. They will carry back with them, Ist us hope, a kinder and more fraternal feeling for England and the English people even than that which prompted them to pay this visit, and they will leave behind them similar senti ments in the breasts of their English, hosts. These visits, productive of so much mutual satisfaction, are, we are inclined to hope, only precursors of a con tinued course of international communication, until, under the beneficent auspices of " fraternity," the British Channel, realising the happy vision of the poet, will only serve " To join the nations it divides." MEETING MR HALF-WAY.— Young Hopeful— " Well, it's of no use, Governor; I can't stick to busi ness. I want to be a soldier, and you must buy me a commission."

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. On Tuesday the National Assembly agreed to clauses from 85 to 90 of the Constitution without amendment, and almost without discussion. M. MARRAST, the President of the Assembly, and M. DI:FAURE, the Ministerial leader, have agreed that it is desirable that the remaining articles of the Constitution should be passed with as little delay as possible, and therefore there is every probability that the whole of the Constitution will be voted in the course of the ensuing week. The Ministry appears to be increasing in strength. Several of the Members of the party of the Palais National and of the club of the Institute, who ab. stained from voting on Monday, have now given in their adhesion to the Ministry. The fact is, that the insane violence of M. LEDEU ROLLIN and his followers has so alarmed many of the moderate Re publicans that they are willing to make great sacrifices to secure a strong Government. A " democratic and social " banquet, at one franc per head, took place on Tuesday at the Barriers Poissonniere. More than 2,000 persons attended it ; and as there was no place large enough to contain all, they divided into two parties, one presided over by M. PIERRE LEROUX, and the other and smaller one by M. D'ALTON SEER. It had been announced that 200, or at least 150, representatives of the people would be present, and that M. LAMENNAIS would be president, and M. Levan Rosalie vice-president. Only three representa tives, however, attended—M. PIERRE LEROUX , M. PROUDHON, and Gaarro. The defection of the others caused some sensation. Nu merous toasts were drunk, and the follow ing were loudly applauded :—" To the Revolution," by M. PROUDHON "To the old Montagne," by M. PIERRE LEROUX ; " To the Revolution of Vienna," by M. MADIER DE MoNJAU, advocate ; "To the Union of Democrats," by M. CaneT ; " To the De mocratic and Social Republic," by M. D'ALTON SHER. At about seven o'clock theprincipal banquet was brought to a close by the singing of patriotic songs, and MM. PIERRE LERoux, PROUDUON, and CARET, accompanied by some of their friends, went and harangued the smaller gathering, after which all the guests dispersed. Numerous groups of workmen assembled on the exterior boulevard, and at the en trance to the Rue des Poissonniks, but tranquillity was not disturbed. The authorities had taken meas sures for the preservation of order. The committee on the state of siege have deter mined to recommend to the Assembly that the state of siege should be immediately raised. The following proclamation, drawn up by the Abbe LAMENNAIS, has been signed by all the Red Republican Members of thelAssembly : " We are far from the day on which, after heroic combats, the Republic, issuing brilliant and glorious from the midst of victory, displayed itself to the world as the living image of liberty, equality, and fraternity, as the sacred symbol of all the hopes of the future. From one extremity of Europe to the other the nations saluted it with their acclamations, and, penetrated by the new spirit, by the regenerating breath, they broke their old chains in the name of the right which France had inaugurated. She herself immediately gathered the fruits; in political order, the abolition of privileges, and universal suffrage ; in social order, the enfranchisement of workmen, first condition of the transformation of labour itself, to :arrive at a juster division of its products, to the guarantee of the life of all in a society one and jointly responsible. Soon, however, the conquered parties united and organised. Everywhere that their influence could extend, they applied themselves to exciting by in trigue and calumny enemies to the Republic and obstacles to its Government. Creeping little by little into the administration, they there introduced their principles and their passions, and made of the revo lutionary power which they had conquered an arm against the revolution itself. We were driven back to the gates of the monarchy, and it is there that we now are ; it is to the men of the monarchy that the destinies of the Republic have just been confided. We understand the fears of the people, and their in dignation kr which certainly there is too much cause. Let them, however, not alarm themselves be yond measure, and especially let them take care not to cede to perfidious provocations. Whatever may be done to drive them to acts of disastrous imprudence, let them remain calm and firm, masters of themselves, in order to be masters of the future. It is thus that they will prove their strength, and that they will find it uninjured, invincibly by union, if it should again have to come in aid of right. For ourselves, honoured by the title of their representatives, we know to what that title obliges us ; we know our duties, and will fulfil them. Sent by the people, united to the people, we will struggle, and it is our belief we shall conquer with them." The Constitutionnel has the following on the pre sent financial state of France : "The Minister of Finance, in his late speech on the mortgage notes, brought forward a ststement of the financial situation of the country, of which the following are the principal results - :—M. Goudchaux declared that, on February 25, the State had in hand 192 millions, arising from the payments made on the loan of 1847, and from the emission of Bons du Tre sor exceeding the average circulation at the corre sponding period of preceding years, so that in deduct ing from these resources, estimated at 278 millions, the 192 millions in hand, there would remain a ba lance against the State of 86 millions. The situation, on Sept. 30, was this—The State possessed 174 mil lions, or 18 millions less than on Feb. 25, but it was 69 millions more than it possessed on Sept. 30 of the year before. The extraordinary charges which have weighed on the Treasury amount to 646 millions— viz., 125 millions reimbursed to the floating debt; 125 millions voted to aid the manufacturing and com mercial situation of the country; 208 millions of augmentation of expenses in the different Ministerial departments, amongst which that of war alone has absorbed 106 millions; and, lastly, 190 millions of deficiency in the taxes. The extraordinary resources by the aid of which the Treasury meets the extra ordinary charges amount to 630 millions—namely, 177 millions of the new loan, 54 millions of money paid up on the Lyons shares; 75 millions advanced by the Bank of France ; 115 millions received on the tax of 45c.; and 45 millions still remaining to be received on the same tax! 60 millions coming from the arrangement effected by the Northern Rail way ; and 104 millions of the reserve of the sinking fund. The Treasury has still to re ceive this year 50 millions from the Bank of France, exclusive of the 75 millions to be paid by it for 1849, and which, if the Minister is to be believed, will not be required, which would render the alienation of the forests unnecessary. M. Goudchaux then enumerated the resources which still remain at our disposal to ensure the action of the different services. From that statement it appears that, on September 30, the Treasury possessed 35 millions in its strong box ; 91 millions were remaining due from the loan of 1848 ; 38 millions from the payments on the Lyons shares ; 125 millions to draw frow the credit opened by the Bank of France; 139 millions of seen rities; in all, 428 millons of disposable resources. The Honourable Minister then declaring that the expense, (at the rate of 25 days of service per month), since February, had exceeded the receipts by one million a day, comes to the conclusion that with the 428 millions in the possession of the Treasury, there would be sufficient funds to provide for the public service for a period of 428 days, or 17 months, or up to February 28, 1850 This news' says the Afoniteur, was received with the ut most satisfaction.' But it is important to see what it is really worth. First of all, M. GOUDCIIAUX puts down amongst these 4.28 millions, his securities at 139 millions, and his cash in hand at 35 millions, or 174 millions in all, coming from ordinary and cur rent receipts, and which are not to be included amongst the extraordinary resources; next, the question of the service of the Treasury is not alone to be looked at ; the situation of the budget must be also taken into consideration. But it is certain, according to the report of M. BINEAU, that the deficiency of the current year will amount to about 350 millions, and that after having applied to make up that sum the loans contracted this year, nothing scarcely will re main of these loans for 1849. Thus, therefore, with out taking into consideration the delay which pay ments of expenses always experience, it will be ne cessary, in order that the services should be ensured until 1850 with th• resources now at the disposal of the Treasury, that the year 1849, which, besides, will not have any tax of 45c., should find means to suffice for itself." The adjourned debate on the Constitution was read at the sitting► of the Assembly yesterday. Clauses up to 100 had been agreed to up to the hour when the post left. M. Ducous, the ex-Prefect of Police, has pub ished the ,following address - to the inhabitants of 'aril : "On resigning the functions which I accepted after the conflict of June, I cannot refrain from offer ing to you my thanks for the favour with which you have received the acts of my administration. Devoted, body and soul, to the Republic, I used all my endea ♦ours to apply its principles, and cause them to be beloved. What I have tried to do as a magistrate I will continue to do as a representative of the people. Y EVENING, I have had the satisfaction of getting through three months of difficulties without the impatience or excitation of parties having for an instant disturbed the security of the capital. To this happy result the wisdom and intelligence of the people have contributed much more than my vigilance and exertions. At this day, citizens, setting aside the emotion caused by the Ministerial crisis, and which will quickly subside, Paris is in a state of per fect tranquillity. I bequeath my task to the care of a successor of whose patriotism and firmness a long and intimate acquaintance has convinced me. His patriotic struggles, and the persecutions he endured under the monarchy, are sure guarantees for his de votion to liberty." M. BRISSOT, grandson of the well-known Member of the Convention of that name, has been appointed chef du cabinet of the Minister of Public Works. PARIS BOURSE—WEDNESDAY, OCT. 18. THREE o'CLocK.—The business done to•day was very limited, but there is a slight advancement on the prices of yesterday. The alarming rumours afloat at the end of yesterday's Bourse turn out to be incorrect, but still there is nothing in the aspect of political affairs, either at home or abroad, to inspire confidence. As a symp tom of the increased confidence which the entry of M. Dufaure into the Cabinet has created, it may be mentioned that Bons du Tresor of the Republic were yesterday demanded at par, and could not be got. The Bons du Tr6tor issued preN ions to the 24th of February continue at u discount. Fur the account, the French Three per Cents. have risen 15c. ; Five per Cents. have risen 10c.; and the Loan 10c. Fur Money the Three per Cents. have advanced 5c.; the Five per Cents. 10c.; and the Loan 5c.; Buns du Tibor are not quoted; Bank of France Shares have dcclitted 2f. 50c.; Belgian Bank Shares are at 650; Five per Cents. have declined per cent.; Spanish Active not quoted; Three per Cents. have fallen / per cent. ; Passives not quoted; Roman has declined per cent,; Rothschild's Receipts have fallen to 79f. 50e.

RETREAT OF JELLACHICH AND AUERSPERG FROM VIENNA. Vienna is safe for the present. JELLaciiicii is in full retreat for Croatia, pursued by the victorious Hungarians, and AUERSPERG, having been unable to effect a junction with JELLicuicif, has retired from his position at the Belvedere, so that Vienna is now entirely free and in the hands of the people and the Diet. The retreat of JELLACHICII and of AUERSPEII6 took place on the 12th, after a smart skirmish be tween the Croats and the citizens, in which the former were defeated. In The Sun of yesterday we gave the narrative of events at Vienna up to the evening of the 11th, and at the same time gave a paragraph from the Breslau Gazette, which stated that on the evening of that day Vienna had been bombarded. Happily there was no truth in the rumour. The firing which had been heard pro ceeded from the attack of the Croatians on the posts of the National Guard at Marxline, an attack in which they were defeated with the loss of several prisoners, immediately after which they com menced a precipitate retreat towards Nieustadt, on the high road to Agram, the capital of Croatia, closely pursued by the victorious Magyars, who, having driven him out of Hungary, had followed him to Vienna. During the whole of the evening of the 11th the preparations for defence against the apprehended at tack of JEELACHICII were continued, and were extended to the faubourgs. At eleven o'clock on the evening of that day firing - was heard in the direction of the Maria hills ; and from the steeple of St. Stephen's, where a watch had been stationed to give notice of the movements of the enemy. Alarm signals were thrown up, alarm guns were fired in the town and in the faubourgs, and instantly the streets were filled with armed men. It was shortly after announced that the firing had !been occasioned by an attack of Croats on the outposts of the National Guard, in which the Croats had been defeated, and the citizens then retired to rest. In the course of the evening the newly -appointed Hungarian Minister, Colonel RECSEZ, and his Adjutant, Baron DRNKS I EIN, were arrested and confined in the Aula. A young man of the name of JACOBSON, in the dress of an Hungarian officer, was also arrested as a spy. RECSEZ was the Minister who countersigned the appointment of JELLACHICU as Commander •in-Chief and Governor of Hungary. A letter from Vienna, dated on the morning of the 12th, thus describes the appearance of the besieging armies, as seen from the tower of the cathedral of St• Stephens : " From the towers of the venerable old pile of St. Stephen's the eye can overlook all the legions that surround us—ltutheners, Marsuren, Russniaks, Poles, Galicians, Czechs, Bohemians, Germans, and Old-Austrians. They stretch from the camp at Bel vedere, on the one side, to the village of Simmiring and to the Danube ; on the other, to the Southern Railway—in a wider range, from Klein-Neusiedl to Hiemberg, Modling, and 13ruhl to the declivities of the Vienna wood, swarm the battalions of the Ban Jellachich ; Illyrians, with their red caps, the red cloaks (Serechsaner), Croats, numerous Granzer, mingled with cavalry and artillery of the Imperial army. At the other side of the Danube, at Siissen brunn, there is a Wallachian regiment—we know not where from and for what purpose—detached bodies of prisoners and cavalry, and on the road to Hun gary that battalion of Italian Grenadiers which on the sth of October was ordered to march from Vienna to Pesth, and whose Colonel, Ferrari, was compelled by his own officers to resign his command. In the background, however, in au easterly direction, on the right bank of the Danube, anxiously expected, the advanced posts of the Magyars are visible. It seems as if the whole monarchy had appointed a military rendezvous under the walls of the capital, to watch with drawn swords and sharp eyes over the spectacle of this great movement of the people." The preparations for the defence of the city were, however, too formidable for JELLACHICII to en counter, and on the approach of the Magyar army, he commenced a precipitate retreat; while AUERSPERG, unable to effect a junction with him, and cut off entirely from all communication with the partisans of the EMPEROR, abandoned his position at Belvedere. During the time they occupied Belvedere the troops of AUERSPERG committed the most dreadful excesses. On the morning of the 11th, a butcher, who in his white apron passed near an outpost, was seized, the meat he was carrying taken from him, and he himself stabbed to death. Some frightfully mutilated bodies were found in the . deserted camp of AUERSPERG. One of them was con veyed by the people to the front of the Parlia ment House, from which several of the Members came out in order to look upon the melancholy spec tacle. Amongst them was SCIIUSELKA, who, after gazing with emotion on the disfigured corpse, ex claimed, " Swear, brothers, that you will not abandon one iota of freedom or of popular rights, even if all of us must suffer this death." With uplifted hands the assembled crowds took the oath as administered by the popular orator. On the other hand, with the single exception of the horrible murder of Count LATOUR, no excesses whatever have been committed by the citizens ; the utmost order and discipline are maintained among the National Guards, the Academic Legion, and the armed workmen, and property (even the property of C 013 E R 19, 18i8. those who have fled from the city) has been univer sally respected. The Diet continuei to sit en per manence. In the sitting of the 11th, Schuselka rose, after a preliminary debate, and said :—Vienna has had the pleasure of receiving, during the night, 500 well armed national guards from Bit:tun. Telegraphic messages were sent to Griitz to request the assistance of the guards there, in consequence of the fatigue of those of Vienna. This was immediately pro mised. A dispatch has arrived from Lohner, saying that he had not yet met with the Emperor, that lie was at Brhuo, and was proceeding further to seek him. From Hortibostl we have received intelligence that he has sent his resignation to the Emperor. He had begged of his Majesty to place the Ban Jellachich under the orders of the Austrian Ministry. This he had not done, and therefore he, Hornbostl, must resign. A letter to the Minister Krauss states, however, that the Emperor has not accepted the resignation. The committee of safety now proposes that a deputation of one member from each of the provinces should be sent to the Emperor, for the purpose of placing before him in all honour and candour the present state of the city and the monarchy. This deputation to consist of Borkowski (Gallicia), Skoda (Bohemia), Weiss (Moravia), Purtscher (Lower Austria), Peitler (Upper Austria), Thinfeld (Styria), Klementi (Tyrol), Madonizza (Kustenland), Kautschitsch (Illyria), and Itadinitli (Dalmatia). This proposal is adopted, with this amendment, that the deFutation be named by election. Schuselka then proceeded. In order to give unity and strength to the regulations for the protection of the city, the committee has decided to give the Commandant a council of war. The sol diers in the city will he placed in barracks and under rigid command. This member then proceeded to describe the scenes which had taken place in the town, how Borrosch had done all in his power to prevent the death of Count Latour; ar. - 3, after some con versation on this subject, the election for the deputa tion above-mentioned took place, when were chosen, with little exception, the Members whose names are already given. The changes are—Feisak for AJi ravia, Schmidt for Lower Austria, and Dolsheim for Illyria. Borrosch was commissioned to write the address to be carried by the deputation to the Em peror. The sitting was then adjourned and resumed in the evening. Borrosch read the address, which stated that the Diet desired to support the throne of freedom. A warning is given against delay on his part. He is begged to give heed, as he did at Inn spruck. It must not be said that his Majesty had sacrificed a thousand innocent for the life of one, and torn the monarchy asunder by causing a civil war, by which blood would flow in streams. The Diet would, like Curtius, cast itself into the abyss in order to avert such an evil. Should the sacrifice take place, their remembrance would indelibly live and remain an accusation against those who had been guilty of it by their evil counsels. A sanguinary military rule could last but a short time : it would be inglorious, and sow the seeds of incalculable evil. The address was adopted after some discussion. A Member asked the Minister Krauss whether a list of trusty men from whom the Emperor should choose his Ministers had been made out ? Krauss answered that there had been no list made out, as the choice of these depended on the result of Hornbostl's interview with the Emperor. Umlauft, on the part of the Committee, brought before the Diet a letter addressed to Count Auersperg, bringing to his notice the attacks made by his soldiers on the life of several guards and on the property of the citizens generally, and making him responsible for the consequences. The expira. tion of the Presidency taking place on that day, Smolka was re-elected by acclamation, and the sitting was adjourned. In the sitting of the 12th Schuselka, as reporter of the Committee of Safety, rose and said—An im portant piece of intelligence I have to give is, that Commandant Auersperg has abandoned his strong position. bait evening he wrote a letter, stating that a Hungarian army had advanced, and that it was possible that here might be the field of battle of the Hungaro-Croatian question. From the situation of Vienna he could not join with the Ban; and he now turned to the Diet and the Ministry to obtain their instructions. He could not, however, re-enter the barracks until the disarmament of the proletariat. An answer had already been given to him that the pro posed disarmament could not take place, and that the only means of arranging matters was the retirement of the Ban. He (Auersperg), as chief in command, was supreme over the Imperial troops in Austria, and as the Ban had said that his were Imperial troops, he had thereby placed himself under the orders of the chief, and he (Auersperg) had given the strictest injunctions to the Ban to retire. Schuselka conti nued—The commandant sent to-day a letter to the following effect : " I receive every hour fresh proofs of the evil disposition of the Viennese population. The pro visionment has been interrupted. As I will snake use of . no force with respect to the city and autho rities, I have abandoned my position. I propose to take cantonments with my troops by Enzersdorf, und remove that far from the city, and I beg that necessaries will be furnished for the troops. I have further to request that they may be allowed to have their effects which they left behind. I have left General Alattauscheck in his position in the Inva lidenhaus, and I place him under the protection of the Diet. (Signed) " AUERSPERG." Schuselka went on to say : The ex•Alinister Hornbostl has left Hadersdorf for Vienna, with a letter from the Emperor. The Hungarian army is at Bruck. In order that the organization of the National Guard may be effected as soon as possible, it is proposed that a law be passed ordering all persons capable of bearing arms to place themselves under the command of the chief of districts. This project was adopted. A dispatch was then commu nicated stating that the deputation from the Diet had reached Brilun, that the Emperor was at Sello witch, and they were going to him there. A letter was then read from Dobhlof stating that his health was so impaired that he could no longer conduct public business ; and that, moreover,.he was convinced that the new Ministry would pursue a totally opposite policy to his—which would be utterly at variance with his principles. On these grounds he had tendered his resignation to his Majesty. The sitting having been adjourned, was resumed in the evening. - A project for opening a credit with the bank for six millions is adopted. Schuselka stated that Lohner had obtained an audience the night previous from Archduke Charles. He has sent a rescript of the Emperor with eounter signature, which is dated Herzogenburg. One party in Vienna is very severely spoken of in it, and the Emperor de clares that he will choose another town than Vienna for the deliberations of the Diet. The Emperor has accepted the resignation of Dobhlof and ,Bach. Nothing further is known of Hornbostl. According to the last accounts the EMPEROR was at Sellowitch. He is every where received by the in habitants with marks of displeasure, and it is his guard of 6,000 men that alone protects him from being arrested and brought back- a prisoner to Vienna. He has summoned WINDEEMGRATZ to Moravia, where there will be a gathering ot Sclavonians and Cr oatians, with which the camarilla intend to commence a civil war against Germany and Hungary for the restoration of the rule of bigotry,absolutism,ignorance, and plunder, and for the destruction of civilization, in • dustry, enlightenment, and order. The Germans and Magyars will, however, be fully prepared to meet their opponents, and to drive back this fresh irrup tion of Barbarians. In opposition to the contemplated Sclavonic con gress in Moravia, the Austrian Diet has resolved to convoke one in Vienna of the Hungarian races. The following address has been sent by the Hungarian Diet to the Austrian One:— " The Hungarian nation declares before God and the world that it will respect the liberty of Austria equally with its own liberty,and that it will ever con sider it to be one of its holiest duties to powerfully assist, in conformity with the wishes of the Austrian,, nation, in maintaining that liberty. Hungary re jects all negotiations with the camarilla and its per jured hirelings (eide bruchigea soldnern). The Hun garian nation begs of the noble representatives of Austria to take energetic steps against those parties ; and, in like manner, as we denounce as a traitor every Hungarian who raises his unhallowed hand against the freedom of Austria, to declare a traitor to his country every subject of the Austrian mo narchy who shall give the least support to the rebel Jellachich—that perjured instrument of the cama rilla for the depression of the liberty of Austria and Hungary." '1 he address states in conclusion that the Hungarian troops will return to Pesth, if the representatives of Austria send word that the enemy has been defeated by the Austrians alone, and that the co-operation of the Hungarian army is not required. The Wiener Zeitung publishes the following letter from Pesth, dated Oct. 7 : "General Massaros has issued a proclamation to the army in South Hungary, informing them that perfect order prevails in Buda-Pesth ; that the Diet continues to sit in almost undiminished numbers; that the interest of the beloved Emperor and King are re presented by a committee of eight members in the absence of a Ministerial President ; that it is unhap pily true that Lieutenant Field-Marshal Count Lam berg fell a victim to the popular fury ; b u t t h at t h e people were urged to it by the illusive promises and treacherous dealings which had been exercised against them. But he exhorts them not to be misled by false reports, but to be firm and faithful in the defence of their country. A proclamation has also been issued by Dionys Pazmandy, President of the Hungarian Diet, to the Imperial troops, whom Jellaebich is leading about without any authority or power, in a hostile manner, throughout Hungary. In this proclamation Paz manly quotes the words of their leader, " that he must and would act against the will of the Emperor." He concludes his admirable address with these words : —" It is still time for you to return to your duty, and save your leader from proceeding further in his ruinous course, and save the ignominious and useless shedding of blood. Ye valiant Germans, go to Aus tria, and place yourselves under the command of the legitimate Minister of War; and ye brave borderers, submit to the law, return peaceably to your homes, and enjoy those blessings which the law secures to us, and which, equally respecting the rights of Hun garians and Croatians, shall for ever unite you in the bonds of brotherhood." PRUSSIA. Accounts have been received from Berlin to the 15th instant. The anniversary of the KING'S birth day had passed off quietly. The Burgher Guard Law has definitively passed the Assembly, with some additional clauses prepared by KIRCIIMANN and others, by which it is declared that three of the most objectionable clauses shall be suspended until the promulgation of the constitution. Therefore, 1, the Burgher Guard will not be required, for the present, to take oath of fidelity to the KING ; 2, in case of urgent necessity the chief of the different corps may use their own discretion in calling out their men to protect property, &c., without waiting for summons from the authorities; and 3, the arms delivered to communal authorities will continue at their disposal. In consequence of the passing of the law with the corrected clauses, M. REMPLER has issued an address to the Burgher Guards of Berlin, calling upon them to support the law as the right and duty of one and all. A decree of the KING has appointed a naval board, of which Prince ADALBERT is president. Its atten tion is particularly drawn to the formation of a flotilla-of gun-boats and small craft for the protection of the ports in the Baltic. This board is also directed to adopt immediate measures for the selection of the beg port for such flotilla, as well as for larger vessels. Dantzic would be preferred, but the waters are not sufficiently deep, or the harbour sufficiently shel tered, so that Swinemunde will probably be selected for the naval arsenal. A committee has, it appears, reported that Ems is the most advantageous point for the formation of a naval depot for the central German fleet. FRANKFORT. BLTJM and TRIBBAL have been dispatched by the democratic party of the German Parliament to Vienna to assist in the councils of the Diet. MOLDAVIA AND WALLACHIA. Russian troops have entered Bucharest. The soldiers have been quartered upon Austrian subjects. The latter complained of oppression, and on the in terference of the Austrian Consulate he was mal treated by the Moldavians and Russians. The Austrian Consul upon this repaired to Prince STOURDZA to demand satisfaction ; but he was answered coldly, that the Russians were there for the maintenance of order. Upon this he withdrew his flag, ceased from his official duties, and sent a report to Vienna by express. The Russian General, Leu- DERS, who ordered the Russians to enter Wallachia, is now at Bucharest. Here he has arrested the Bishop, the Aga, and the President of Police, and has sent them to Galatz. According to the Allgemeine Zeitung, the number of Russians who have entered Wallachia amounts to 16,000 men, and 40,000 others have., crossed the Pruth. CIRCASSIA. The Journal of St. Petersburgh contains accounts of a succession of brilliant engagements from the 21st of July to the 18th of August, between the Imperial troops, under Major HENNING, and the mountaineers, The tribes which submitted, and which dwelt in the Kouban and the Labe, viz., the Noghais, Cabardiens, Temirghois, Makhosshs, and Beplenies, sent deputa tions to salute Prince Wononzow in his passage. The tranquillity was general. The Abadsekhs rebels cannot again make another attempt after the severe defeat which they sustained from General HENNING. RUSSI A. The Russian Government has just given orders to the Custom-house stations in the White and 13Iack Seas, the Baltic, and the sea of Azoff, to admit to the same treatment as native vessels French craft coming to Russia from ports of France situated on the At lantic or the Channel, " even when they had put into port during their passage, provided they have not at such ports taken any goods on board." HOLLAND. OPENING OF THE SESSION OF THE STATES-GENERAL OF 1848. THE HAGUE, OCT. 16.—The opening of the States- General of 1848 took place this day, with the usual solemnities. At one o'clock his MAJESTY left the Palace, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of ORANGE, Prince HENRY, arid Prince FREDERICK, of the Netherlands. A salute of artillery announced the departure of his MAsesxr. An immense crowd, which lined all the streets and f every public place through which the cortege was to pass, saluted his MAJESTY with reiterated cries of " Vive le Roi !" When his MAJESTY arrived at the Palace of the States- General, he was received and introduced into the Assembly by the Commission appointed for this purpose by the United Chamber of the States-General. His MAJESTY having taken his seat on the throne' pronounced the following speech : Noble and Mighty Lords, "You will doubtless approve that at the opening of this session I abstain from following the established usage of tracing a aketch of the state of the country and of the different projects of law which shall be laid before you, as introductory to your legislative labours. "In fact, the mission of this Assembly is excep tional and transitory in its nature, and these two Chambers of the States-General will shortly be re placed by other Chambers, composed and elected ac cording to the disposition which, as soon as the re vision of the fundamental law is accomplished in the session which has just terminated, shall have been in serted in that law, and soon solemnly promulgated. " Nevertheless, on this occasion, I cannot abstain, Noble and Mighty Lords, from expressing to you the conviction that if the general state of Europe be of such a nature as to give rise to serious inquietudes, various indications manifest themselves in the situa tion of our country. " Whether I consider our relations with foreign Powers—whether I cast my eyes upon our posses sions in other parts of the world, or upon the interests of commerce, of navigation, of agriculture, and other branches of trade, I find by the side of several dis quieting symptoms numerous motives for consola tion and encouragement. I appreciate, above all, among the latter, the examplary manner in which the great and important work of the revision of the fundamental law was commenced, presented, and accomplished. " While so many states of Europe are shaken to their very foundations by the most violent shocks, and the streets of many a city are dyed with the blood of its inhabitants, our country has been able to pre serve itself from the fury of civil dissensions and calamities, with disorder and anarchy in their trains. " Above all, our country has enjoyed this advantage, that the legislative power, free in its action, has, with entire independence, and in the most perfect har mony, even where a difference of opinion prevailed, peacefully accomplished its vast mission, which will act so decisively on the destinies of the country. " On the subject of the happy issue of the work always so critical, of the fundamental part of the State, I have already caused to be expressed, at the close of the last session, my gratitude to the two Chambers of the States. General who have given to this work their zealous and vigilant concurrence. But I have reserved to myself, and to this solemn occasion, the 'Privilege, of thanking all my well beloved fellow citizens for-the moderation, confidence, respect for the laws and public order, as well as attach- ment to my person, and my dynasty, which, during the long period requisite for the accomplishment of these important legislative works, they have mani- • rested without restriction, and with so much eon- stancy up to this very day. "Thus, Noble and Mighty Lords, our political edifice, while resting established on the same basis, has seen its internal dispositions modified according to the requirements of the epoch, and so regulated that the amelioration which the future may require may be introduced into it without producing the. slightest shock. "For entering into this new epoch the concurrence of your High Mightinesses is still necessary to me, and it is this concurrence which, with full confidence, I this day invoke for the weal of the country. " That the Netherlands may prosper in the new sphere which is opened.to them, it is important that all the inhabitants should bs acquainted with the sacred duties imposed upon them, and be ani mated by that love for their country which is always , ready to make the greatest sacrifice for it. "The past, Noble and Mighty Lords, enables me to cherish in this respect the highest expectations for the future. " It; notwithstanding the efforts made for diminish ing the expenses of the State, circumstances should . demand fresh subsidies for meeting the exigencies of the moment, I shall ask them with confidence of your High Mightinesses. " If in future times trials be again reserved to us, I am convinced that each one will, with the aid of Providence, make the most courageous efforts to sur mount them. Thus we 'shall avert from the soil of our native land troubles, and disorders, and dissensions of what nature soever they be, and transmit intact, to our descendants the pledge which has been confided . to us. " May the Almighty crown our endeavours with his best blessing." His MAJESTY then returned from the Palace of the States-General amid the same manifestations of loyalty and respect which had greeted his MAJESTY, on his arrival.—Dittch Papers, Oct 17.

ITALY. The Opinion of Turin of the 14th has the follow• ing details from Milan :—" It appears that the desire of returning to their respective countries had been manifesting itself for some time among the troops of RADETZKY, both Hungarian and Cioatian, and desertions were extremely frequent. RADETZKY then threatened to decimate the Hungarians, should the desertions continue. On the 10th instant 150 Hungarian officers elected a deputation to obtain from the Generalissimo the permission of conducting home the whole of the Hungarian troops now in Italy. RADETZKY answered by imprisoning them in the tower. The other officers then called out a number of Hungarian troops, and drew thein up on the esplanade to obtain the liberty of theirincar• cerated comrades, and the permission to depart.. , RA DETZKY then sent a son of the VICEROY to tell them that they should have an answer within two days they consented to wait so long, declaring, however, that they were determined to go at the end of that time. The Hungarians take every opportunity of expressing their sympathy for the Italians ; the boys in the streets ask them to cry—" Long live Italy and Hungary ! Death to Austria!" and are good-na• turedly answered accordingly. At Pavia, towards the frontier, the Austrians have demolished a churph, and constructed entrenchments. General Wk... MODZIN has been heard to say several times, thai it was impossible the Austrians could maintain thew selves in Italy. HERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) To-day was appointed for a sitting of this Court, but no causes were set down for hearing. A notice was posted that the Court will sit on the 26th inst. no Court will then sit as usual until the next long vacation. BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Commissioner Evans sat to-day. The only point of interest was au application on the part of a bankrupt who is in custody, and had sued out a fiat against him.. self, to surrender in order to obtaiu protection under the new Act. K Ills HONOUR said he could not take the surrender, having no order of Court or notice given to the creditors. The bankrupt was therefore remanded, to renew the application at a future time. MARLBRO'-STREET-(THIS DAY.) Edward Hume and Charles Henry Ballet, two well dressed men, who were described on the charge sheet as surgeons, were brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with being drunk and riot ous . The prisoner Hume was also charged with assaultin g the police-constable. English, C 4, said, about three o'clock this morning he was on duty in Cranbourne-street, Leicester-square, when his attention was attracted to the two defendants, who were creating a great disturbance by knocking violently at the shutters of several shops in the street. Witness, seeing that they were in liquor, went up to them and requested them to desist and go home. Th ey refused to go away, and the prisoner Hume called him a -- thief, and struck him on the breast with his fist. Witness then took them both to the station. Hallett did not offer the least obstruction, but tried all he could to get Hume home. The defendants admitted being much intoxicated at the time, and denied all knowledge of the assault en the constables. Mr. BlNGuast said, as the defendant Hallett did not oiler any resistance he should discharge him, but as it had been proved that Hume had struck the constable, he (Mr. Bingham) should fine him 40s. The fine was immediately paid. MARKET NEWS.—(THIS DAY.) NEIVIGILTE .."130D Our market was fairly supplied with each kind of meat to-day, while the general demand was steady, at full prices.
