Ever since royalty was replaced by republicanism in Paris, the reaeti•naires have been striving to destroy the reputation, and, by (I, , stroying the repu tation, to annihilate the influenc o' the distinguished men who have succeeded each tther in the high offices of the democratic Governnient. No calumny has been too base, no conspiracy toe atrocious, no insinuation too extravagant, in. the furtherance of a counter-revolution. Nur has rt e t 4laring insignifi cance of each of the anti-republican parties been sufficient to d e t er th em from end.-avL,uring to under mine the i nst i tut i ons establishe iin February.

Whether they have presewid :nanselves to the public gaze, in the splenetic slanders of M. Emma DE Gni ARDIN, or in the ridicdous conceits of M. JEROME PATuaoT, or in the sardonic manifestoes of the Abbe DR LemcNNAis, they hsv hoe,: i :variably the same—the same in purpose, ; in ran cour, the same in subtlety, ao,iacity, and determination. They have banded together the forces of Legitimatists, Socialists, and Bona partists, the parti of the lentleinuin. an 1 parti pretres, the adherents of HEN., (Aug and the worshippers of ROBESPIERRE, the 10.. r; is the white cockade and the builders of the harricedes, the for cots of June and the mouchards o, Nov.:tiara—every fw:tion likely to inflict an injury on a-publicanistn, and to falsify the aspirations which were born from the days of February. Whenever a man conspicuous for gevitv, or cou rage, or eloquence, or lirtne, or patriotism, has emerged from the revolut ion, and :.':sunned by virtue of his merits the reins of Government —that man has instantly become the object against all the piots of the reactionary p art y have directed. Pi.-st of all the schemes of these unprlAcipled con s-ir ators n ere levelled at the Prot Govei-utnent in the aggregate, then at the Exetzttive and u itimately at the military j: is rt:aship which followed the : downfal . of those OA • fugitive but glorious Administrations. Because a Reao had .L` 4 . %de 2 V 3 41 AE-4 ' <.;:c c et ' , `. r - ip-:._sA ..,. 7, 4 ...., , , ..,... • ..,f '1W...,' 1, ' SO ' - - .••• .: ..e . " %l' , • , THE SUN, during the times of peace directed his great in tellect to the study of the stellar magnificence of the universe, he was sneered at as a philosopher whose steps were in the sky, not upon the earth, whose capacities lay in the celestial regions of astronomy, and not in the mundane regions of chi cane, hypocrisy, and resolution—the oxy gen, hydro gen, and azote forming the atmosphere of statesman ship. And yet ARAGO, during two months and upwards, held the portfolio both of War and Marine ; and at the period of his retirement from his Minis terial duties left both those departments of the public service in an astonishing state of discipline and effec tiveness. DUPONT (DE L'EURE) was derided, because of his age and simplicity, and yet for a considerable time that venerable man preserved the dignity of his office as President or the Provisional Government, and instilled into the hearts of his colleagues those sentiments of pure and unselfish devotion which had throbbed in his own bosom before the first National Assembly was dissolved. MARIE was scoffed at as an incapable, as one of the embodied mediocrities of the law, as a man unfitted for great emergencies, and incapacitated from dedicating more than the energies of an indifferent intellect to the l i service of his fellow-citizens : and yet MARIE was the man whose voice proclaimed the horror with which the insurgent demagogues were regarded by the lovers of order and moderation- LAMARTINE, again, was, in spite of his heroic and il lustrious conduct throughout the most terrible periods of the revolution, rendered for a long while the prin cipal object of the calumnies of the counter-revolu tionists. Because he had already rendered his name immortal as a poet, he was pronounced to be a mere political visionary. Because he had revealed his matchless powers of oratory in vindicating the glories of classic literature, he was declared to be fitted only for the rostrum of a pedagogue. Because he had written History like TRUCYDIDES, he was asserted to have disqualified himself from acting History like EPAILI. RONDA& He was accused of peculations in the national treasury--although his fortunes had been injured to the extent of five or six hundred thousand francs, in consequence of the unexpected outburst of the revolution. He vdis charged with the shedding of the blood of the people—although his noble heart was the first to conceive, his hand to subscribe, and his life to proclaim, the famous decree abolishing for ever the punishment of death for political offences. He wet taxed with a mal-administration of the foreign af fairs of the young Republic—although the skilful and honourable policy adopted by him in the conduct of that department had kept France in tranquillity and preserved peace in Christendom. He was said to have rendered his Government a mere talking Go vernment and not an acting Government—although, in addition to the decree already mentioned, he had himself created the Garde Mobile, he had himself secured to the multitude the inestimable prerogative of Universal Suffrage, he had himself convoked and inaugurated the National Assembly of nine hundred representatives. Beyond this, he was actually accused of weaknesi—he whose daring eloquence had alone preserved France from Terrorism, Paris from the Guillotine, and Europe from an inundation of blood and crime, and destruction in the terrible crisis of Fe bruary ! he whose hand had hurled back the red flag when offered to him with the menaces of an infuriated rabble ! he who had declared to the Socialist insur gents, as early as March, that he would never sign his name to the words Organization du Travail, not if he were standing before a whole park of artillery ! he who had taken the Hotel de Ville in the days of May, who had incarcerated the rebels in Vincennes, who had fough► on horseback in the rebellion of June, at the head of the National Guard, the Garde Mobile, and the Army, by the side of the Commander-in- Chief and at the foot of the barricades ! One by one these accusations emanated from the conspiracies of the reactionaires : one by one they were disproved or dissipated. M. DR LA MARTINR condescended to reply to the charges of his assailants, and that, too, in a volume which has been unanimously declared, even by the exacting judgment of the ex-Chancellor BaouGuAx, to be a complete and almost sublime vindication. Foiled in all their preceding attempts, the Anti- Revolutionists have aimed one last and desperate blow at the reputation of the Republic in the person and character of General EvorNE CAvetoNec. This adventure was the more formidable, inasmuch as it was immediately prior to the election of a President, and the more lamentable, inasmuch as many of the oldest and most patriotic of the republicans had been deluded into a quarrel by the secret influence of their common enemies. Elaborate, however, as were the precautions taken to ensure the success of this last effort of malice, every one of those precautions has proved altogether ineffectual. On Saturday the discussion took place in the Palace of the National Assembly, and CA VAIGNAC was pronounced, by a majority of 469 in a house of 537, to be not only free from blame in re gard to the insurrection of June, but to have deserved well of his country through the patriotism displayed by him on that occasion, as well as during the subse quent period of his dictatorship. We are by no means desirous of underrating the advantages that must be derived from the labours of the Financial Reform Association. The exposures that have been made through the agency of that body of the profuse and lavish expenditure in the various departments of the State, the insight afforded to the people of the manner in which the enormous sums wrung from the scanty earnings of their industry are wasted and squandered, mast be productive of the most beneficial results. The unjust and im politic system of indirect taxation will also be explained, and all its iniquity made mani fest to the people; a spirit will be excited which it will be impossible for any Ministry to withstand ; the representatives of the people must bow to the loudly expressed wishes of their respective constituencies, and these valuable reformations, will in due time be accomplished. There is another subject, however of still more vital importance to the nation, from which still greater happiness would flow to the great body of the people, which would properly come within the sphere of the association's labours, which has not, as yet, been noticed. What financial reform can be more urgently required than a change in our mone tary code, a repeal of those statutes that crippled the industry of the nation, that deprived our operatives and artizans of employment—of wages—of the very means of existence, that occasioned an artificial famine in the midst of plenty, and produced all the sufferings and distress—want of confidence and gene ral failure of credit—which the nation has witnessed since the beginning of last year ? Economy is un questionably greatly to be desired; but it is still more desirable that the country should have the means of meeting every demand without difficulty or inconvenience. The utmost frugality can only effect a saving of a few millions. The in terest on the debt cannot be reduced, while money is scarce and dear, and the payment of that interest absorbs the greater portion of the national income. We have Leen told that the cation is impoverished— that we have expended our capital—incurred debts, and that like every private individual placed in similarcvi,bce of circumstan ces , we must now suffer the consa our former indiscretions ; that we must sacrifice our enjoyments resign the comforts to which we have been accustomed,ned,aonaudnrdineivllesnarnedstfarcicttortihees veryO u works necessaries m u s t ofb e existenceatdo idle the ui' within the closest limits. s c i l g o n se e d d , t our artizans e ar t t e i znadnesr mercieskept i unemployed, con bworkh.ouses, in place of earning their own livelihood by eplor thedir own exertions. If this were indeed the ease, d r üble a necessity existed, we doubt not that s th o e would endure their sufferings with fortitude andpeople re signation. But it is quite the contrary. There is no want of real capital. The country pos sesses an inexhaustible mine of wealth in her labouring population, all she requires is the means cf bringing her dormant powers into activity. She pcssesses the capital but has not a sufficient repre sentative there,f—she languishes for want of a currency adequate t her wants and exigencies. The circulating medium—the very life- blood of industry— is deficient, and in ck.nst pence thereof employment is withheld, production stepped, and those who might justly be regarded as our most useful citizens become burdens upon the resources of the country, instead of the creators of national wealth. To the working of our absurd and iniquitous money laws all these evils may be ascribed. Measures LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 27, 1848, prec:'ed to the plain of St. Denis, and th , re await the insurgents. If they did not choosy to attack, his plan w!tuiti. have been then to re-enter Paris with the army ..:nd the National Guard united.—(Hear, hear.) The Honourable Gentleman then referred to his personal condect during the combat. He alluded to going out on the 23d, at three oVock in the day, and remaining out until eight in thu evening, and explained that he was obliged to do so in order to inspect personally ,the va rious parts of the city, and see that everything was prc pred for the combat. The insurgerts were to be at lacked in three places; the neighbourhood of the Hotel de Ville, the Pantheon, and the Faubourg St. Antoine; and in order to effect that purpose it was new s,ary to see how the several commanders were disposed with the troops under their command. He remained until between two and three in the morning, busied with the aflairs of his department. The Gallant General then arrived at the part of the accusation againat him which related to the want of foresight in not getting in artillery from Vincennes. He could very well imagine, he said, that persons who had only gone from Paris to Vincennes in a cabriolet might feel surprise at the time which it took to get in =intuition and artnlery from Vincennes. But military men would be of a different opinion, and wou:d come to the con• elusion that the time taken up had been only natural under the circum•tances. The Honourable Gentleman then read the itinerary of the force sent to Vincennes from Paris for the artillery and ammunition required, required certainly, for a combat where not less than 2,500,000 cal tridAes had been burnt. He there showed that, looking at the obstacles which had been thrown in the way of a regiment Or infantry, and two troops of cavalry sent to Vincennes, the time eccupied was not by any means extraordinary. The Gallant General next referred to the charge brought against him of having held back his means of defence for the purpose of for warding his own ambitious projects—to arrive, in fact, at the post of chief of the executive power.—(Hear, hear.) He might commence by saying that on the 22 , 1 an application was already made to him to assume the whole power, and that application was of such a nature as that it might be considt red almost official. The gen tlemen who came to him were MM. Latarde,.llucoux, and Landfill, and they formally proposed to him to as- SUMO the sole direction of the authority, civil and mili tary. "I declared to them," said the Honourable Gen tleman, " that I must refuse at that moment, since their proceeding was not :absolutely official; that I had no de sire whatever to take on myself so immense a responsi bility; that I had no engagement whatever with the Executive Committee; and that if the National Assembly thought my aid necessary in that high post, I would accept It without difficulty." Such was the purport of my conversation with these gentlemen.—(" Yes, yes," for some minutes.) Hence, it I wanted to arrive at the chief lower, I was not under any necessity whatever to wait longer than the date I have just mentioned. As to my military conduct, is it probable that I, or any man in his senses, would for his own ambitio❑ risk the lives of so many of his countrymen, the ruin of a great city, and the destruction of the National Assembly?— (Cheers.) No, it is impossible.—(liened cheers.) All these calumnies must have an end. I urn ready to discuss them when you please —now, to-morrow, at any time ; and when at last an end has been come to, it is no longer the pleadings of the advocate that will be wit nessed, but the acts of a soldier.—(Tremendous cheer ing, which was repeated several time;.) The President—The sitting is suspended until half past zeven this evening. - The representatives then left their places, and ap peared to be on the point of separating, when a pause was suddenly made. The President then declared that several of his col leagues had suggested the propriety of going on with the sitting at once.—(Cries of " Ye:, yes.") This was supported by General Cavaiguac, and car ried. The Assembly then again took their seats, and M. Bixio ascended the tribun,, and after entering into certain explanations of his own conduct during the days of June, declared that in his opinion General Ca vaignac had on that occasion saved the Republic. The sitting was then suspended for an hour, and re sumed at eight o'clock. M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire ascended the tribune, and said that it had always been his object merely to defend the Executive Committee, not to attack General Ca vaiguac. • Since," added he, " the Hon. General asks if we believe that he would h%ve been capable of committing an act of tietson for the furtherance of an objt et of mere personal ambition, I do not hesitate to declare that such an idea never entered our minds." M. Taschereau—This then is a retractation. M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire—No, it is ts .' confirmation, for I have long since made several of my colleagues acquainted with my sentiments on that head. General Cavaignac then explained that several per sons, representatives and others, had complained that he had not on the 23d June ordered troops to march to various places which had been pointed out to him. That was perfectly true; and if, foreseeing this debate, Le had taken a note of all the persons who demanded troops, the Assembly would st e that he would have needed at least 300 battalions to have complied with all these re quisitions. The General then went on to explain that while at eleven at night M. Marie had communicated to him the order, in the name of the Executive Commission, to send troops to the:Luxembourg, M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire warned him that there might possibly be a gathering of the insurgents on the place of the Pan theon, and advised him to act according to the orders he rnie,ht have received from the Executive Commission. The letter of M.,Barthelemy St. Hilaire could not, there fore, be considered as an order, because in it he spoke of orders which he (General Cavaignac) had doubtless re ceived from another quarter.—(Cries of " That is the truth.") It was his duty to execute the order which M. Marie had given him in the name of the Executive Commission ; he had done so, and in doing- so he knew he was accomp idling the object which M. Barthlemy St. Hilaire had at that time in view. —(Cheers.) " I now," concluded the General, " come to consider the position in which M. Barihlemy St. Hilaire would fain place me. He admtts that I could never have been capable of committing all these faults to serve my own personal ambition, and with a deliberate purpose of securing to myself power. But in saying what he has said he says more than he wished to say, and he endeavours to make others believe that in which ho professes not to believe himself.—(Vehement cheering.) What is the meaning of this series of observations with which you have interlarded your narrative? You never quit me. You follow me from quarter of an hour to quarter of an hour, and you show me incessantly re fusing the most pressing, urgent requests of all those who desired troops of ice, and then you bring me the next day acting in parallel lines with what 3 ou call the `Parliamentary plot'—(A laugh)—until I have at tained my end, and the Assembly has by a decree withdrawn from the Executive Commission the powers which had been confided to,it. Do you desire that I should speak sincerely to you ? Ido not know you. I have never spoken to you, except twice in my life. I say that it is impossible to suppose all that you suppose. You hare been soured in your feelings, disappointed in yoar hopes.—(Loud cheers.) You have gone too far with this history, which was nut written to be buried in the drawers of a secretary ; but I declare that no one will believe, after having! read your fragment—no one will believe that you are not desirous of incriminating my acts and my intentions to a greater extent than you avow. In conclusion, I declare that the declaration which you have just made is not sufficient for me, and that I wait for fresh explanations to know what position I am to choose."—(Loud and long-continued cheering.) Garnier Panic rose to address the Assembly amidst considerable interruption, which lasted some time. These interruptions were principally occasioned by an assertion made by M. Garnier Pagis at the outset of his speech, that General Cavaignac had offered the Minis try of Public Instruction to M. Barthelemy- St. Hilaire, and that M. Marie had offered to propose him (M. Gar nier Pagis) for the Presidency of the Assembly. O r d er having been restored, the speaker proceeded to state that lie would not accept the discus ion on the grounds on which General Cavaignac wish e d to pl ace i t, " We do not say," added he, " that you washed to shed blood to attain the object of your ambition, but we say that you have committed enormous faults.—(lnterruption.) It is the opinion of the people—it has been the opinion of the National Assembly.—(Loud cries of ' No, no.') You have committed faults, end you have permitted the Executive Commission to be blamed fur those faults." A Voice—Speak of the Republic. M. Gamier Pais—Well, I will speak of it. You know not what may happen; but if, through an ambi tion disastrous for France, any individual should attempt to go to the Tuileri: s, I should go to the Hotel do Ville. —(Bravo, brevo.) The speaker then proceeded to re preach General Cavaignac with ingratitude towards the Executive Committee, which had made him General of Division, Governor of Algiers, and Minister of War. General Cavaignac denied that he had ever autho rised the offer of the Ministry of Public lustruction to M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire except on the 28th June, when he was not so well aware of his opinions. As to the candidateship of M. Gamier Nile fur the Presi dency, I may have asked,,added the General, if he was a candidate, but most assuredly he was no candidate of ours.—(A laugh.) The General then proceeded to defend himself agaiest,the accusation of ingratitude. M. Landrin explained that when the Club of the Palais National made a proposition to General Cavaig nac, at a time when it was evident that the Executive Committee had forfeited the confidence of the country, the General declared that he would be no party to any secret; proceeding, and that his dignity required that the Executive Commission should be informed both by him self and by the delegates from the Club of the Pulsis Nationai of the overtures which had been made to him. M. Ledru Rollin, in defending the Executive Com mission, took occasion to state that it was hunger which had caused the outbreak in June. Geueral Bedeau related the dispositions taken by General Cavaignac on the 23(1 June, in concert with himself and the other generals, and declared that he himself approved of all the dispositions made. General Cavaignac replied, and in allusion to a de claration by M. Ledru Rollin, that he had separated from General Cavaignac, the General said, I will not say is hien was the first to separate front the other, but this t.eparation most certainly exists; and for my fart I do I.ot, see any probability of its soon ceasing. —(Loud cht era.) _ _ M. I..egrange declared that it was odious to bring to the tribune the filth of M. Emile de Girardin, filth raked 1 -. 4 mil the kennel, to throw in the face of a General who had valiantly fought for his country in Africa.—(Loud cheers.) M. liupont(de l'Eure) then moved the resolution which we have given above. The resolution was received with loud applause, and twenty members having called for a divisi o n a ballot commenced, which gave the following result:— Voters ... 537 Absolute majority... 269 For the rosolution Against it The Assembly then adjourned at h If pat 11, eryir g "Vine la Republique 1" M. DE LAMAILTINE was in the As sembly, but he did not speak. General CAVAIGNIC has greatly raised himself in pub lic estimation by his conduct on this trying occasion. Even his enemies admit that " he will henceforth hold his place in the Assembly, not only as a successful sol dier, but as a statesman capable of making his way by the force of his mind." M. ODILLON BARROT has, after great hesitation, de clared in favour of Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, There were great crowds outside the Assembly on Saturday, and several meetings of.workmen were held, but the public tranquillity was not interrupted. The Afoniteur published on Saturday the compara tive statement of imports and exports into France during the first ten months of 1848, with comparative statements of the imports and exports during the cor responding periods of 1846 and 1847. So much has recently been said of the revival of commerce, and the improved prospects of the Republic, that we looked with anxiety into this return as exhibiting some proofs of that nascent prosperity ; but it must be admitted that, in this respect, we meet with nothing but disappointment. The imports in October, 1848, show a very large decrease as compared with the corre sponding month of 1847, and a still larger one as corn pased with 1846. The receipts on merchandise imported into France in the month of October, 1848, amounts to 9,089,703 francs ; in October, 1847, they amounted to 12,036,084 francs ; and in 1846, to 14,056,655 francs ; a diminution which, in fact, shows a falling off of one-fourth of this branch of the revenue, as compared with October, 1847, and of rather more than one-third as compared with the same month of 1846. On the whole of the ten months the result is not more favourable. For the first ten months of 1846, the receipts were 128,450,461 francs ; for 1847, 111,883,283 francs; and for 1848, only 71,915,803 francs. In estimating this fall, it must, how ever, never be left out of sight that both 1846 and 1847 were years so bad as to be con sidered, at the time, disastrous. Had there been no revolution,', nor political disturbances, there is no doubt, considering the plentiful harvest and other circumstances, that there would have been a great rise, instead of this deplorable deficiency. In one item, however, there is an appearance of improvement. The quantity of raw cotton imported for home con sumption in 1848 is nearly equal to that imported in October, 1846, and nearly double the quantity im ported in October, 1847. On the ten months • the result in this respect is also favourable. For the first ten months of 1846 the quantity of cotton im ported for home consumption was 547,185 metrical quintals ; in 1847, 333,955 metrical quintals ; and in 1848, 336,708 metrical quintals. In copper, tin, coals, and oils, trade is revivirg, but in linen cloths and yarn, iron, woollens, lead, mahogany, colonial sugars, &c., it continues wofully depressed. As respects the ex ports, there is a heavy failing off in books and en gravings, machinery, models, porcelian,'refined sugar, printed and plain cottons, tulles, linen, and, manu factured silks, and glass and crystal. The-falling off in the export of tissues of silk is very remarkable. In October, 1846, it was 1,089 metrical quintals ; in 1847, 1,157 metrical quintals; and in 1841, only 135 metrical quintals. The Five per Cents. were done on Sunday at the Passage.ole, l'Opera at a higher price than the day before.

The only sale was Luxembourg (71.), .4. S PAIN. Madrid journals of the 20th have been received. It was rumoured that letters had been received from General ZARCO DEL VALLE, the Spanish En voy at St. Petersburgh, stating that he had not yet obtained an audience ei her from the EMPEROR or from Count NESSELRODE, and that despairing of be ing able to negotiate the recognition of the QUEEN, he was about to return to Madrid. The latter part of the statement is correct, but we have very good authority for stating that the former part of it is de cidedly incorrect. General ZARCO DEL VALLE has had an audience of the Emperor NICHOLAS, in which the EMPEROR expressed his delight at the opportunity afforded him of making the personal acquaintance of so distinguished an officer, but when General ZARCO DEL VALLE attempted to open negotiations, he was at once interrupted by the EMPEROR, who declared that he would never recog nise any sovereign in Spain but the legitimate King, and that inasmuch as both Austria and Prussia were under the rule of revolutionary Governments,'their example was no precedent for him. CABRERA has rejected all the offers made to him, and has published a proclamation exposing the at tempts that have been made to bribe him. The Fonzento of Barcelona of the 20th instant an. nounces the complete defeat of a body of the QUEEN'S troops, under the command of Brigadier MANzANo, by the united Carlist bands Of CABRERA, MARSAL, MUCHACO, SARGATAT, and BORGES, amounting to 1,500. The second in command of the QUEEN'S troops N% a; killed, and only 300 of the entire column had escaped.

GE Al A N Y A Ni) THE NORTHERN STATES, AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Agramer Zeitung, contains the following manifestoes : " To the inhabitants of the countries of my Hunga rian Crown " The impertinent intrigues of Louis Kossuth and of his companions, who have usurped all power in your unfortunate country, despising the commands of your King, and hurrying the country into unutterable perdi tion, force me to interfere by force of arms. " But while I do so, I must address a few words to you, exposed as you are to all kinds of seduction and deception. They tell you that my troops come to con quer the country; to rub you of the liberties guaranteed to you by the law of April ult., and to suppress the Hungarian nationality.

"The inhabitants of your country, who belong to dif ferent nationalities, have, like yourselves, wished for an extension of their rights. There was a danger of a civil war.

" FERDINAND. "Inhabitants of Hungry and Siebenbiirgen I—A few months' usurpation of some traitorous rebels has turned Hungary into the bloody arena of a fatal civil war. The insurgents have dared to stand up against the rights and the dignity of their crowned King. They violate the liberty of the person, endanger the safety of property, and, dragging the peaceable Leasant from the scene of his daily labour, they force him to oppose his legitimate and crowned King. _ _ "To put an end to this disastrous state of things, which ei,dangers the welfare and safety of the empire, is our Monarch's duty ; it is his command, and conse quently it is my task. " In pursuance to the command of his Majesty, your King and Prince, I shall appear in your country with a large and faithful army—not under the impulse of hos tile feelings, but for the purpose of mastering rebellion, and restoring peace to your country, which is now a prey to the violence of faction. My troops are instructed to observe strict order, but at the tame time they have orders to treat everybody as a rebel whom they find in arms against them, or who forces or misleads others to do so. " Inhabitants of Hungary and Sit benbiirgen, true men and loyal to the King, in m your chivalrous feelings and your generosity I expect that you will lend your help towards the peace able execution of your King's will. "But you, the decoyed, the seduced by malignant rebels—to you, I say, that the very last moment is come when you still may re,urn to your ancient loyalty.

In consequence of peremptory orders received from Olnautz, WINDISCHGRATZ has been at length compelled to put a stop to the wholesale execution?, or, more properly speakir.g, daily massacres of which Vienna has been the scene ever since its capture by the Imperial troops. One young man had been silt t for using exciting language in a coffee-house, twelve days after the entrance of the troops into the city. Domiciliary visits continued to be male after arms: KREMSIE'R, Nov. 19.-127 Deputies from tl:e Austrian people to the Diet are already here, as well as the principal of the bureau. President Ssioi...KA arrived in company with FOSTER; LEHNER was one of the first Deputies who arrived here. About 35 members of the Left are already here. They have resolved to vote unanimously against adhesion to Germany, and on the whole to testify no sympathy whatever for the Frankfort Parliament. In another deliberation it was decided by the members of the Left to make no allusion whatever to the events of October. The Hall of the Assembly will be com pleted by the 22d. The Prague Gazette contains a communication from Ohnutz, dated the 19th, which says :—" Yester day two Members of the Frankfort Parliament arrived here as diplomatic agents." Letters in the Kolnische Zeitung, dated Vienna, the 19th inst., state that the list of the new Ministry Was expected to be published on the following day. NES' ZAROS, the Hungarian Minister at W ar , was said to have demanded, as one of the conditions for the con clusion of a peace between Hungary and Austria, the granting of a full amnesty, i nc l u di ng KOSSUTH. Tills demand was thought to have very little chance 0 1 „ being successful. It wa s asser t e d th a t t h e s t a t e 01 siege of Vienna would extend until January next. There were also rumours afloat that a draft of constitution already elaborated would be laid before the Diet at Kremser. The Breslauer Zeitung mentions a rumour that GRATZ had been declared in a state of siege, because so considerable a number of students and Garde; Mobiles from Vienna had repaired to that place that apprehensions of disturbances were entertained. According to the latest intelligence from Hungary a corps d'arinee, amounting to 12,000 infantry 9 0 1 14 squadrons of cavalry, und er th e comman d 0 Lieutenant Field-Marshal Scatax, was on its wag to Upper Hungary. The Mann'. troops were e 0" trenched near Pressburg, Komorn, and Raab.

On the frontier of Croatia 16,000 Croats under Ge'' DAHLEN were ready to advance. _ The Pressburger Zeitung contains a proclamation signed by 'LADISLAUS CSANY, from which it appear s that nobody will, in future, be allowed to cross the Hungarian frontier, no matter whether for the pa" pose of entering or leaving the country.

Gold is the idol before which th e nati on pros trates itself. Nothing but gold will be tolerated. The happiness of the people is sacrificed to the inte grity of the standard. The curse of MIDAS is upon us, and unless we follow the example of the Lycian monarch, and resign the fatal gift, starvation must ensue. We shall perish in the midst of our golden splendour. If we review the history of the last thirty-two y,pars, since 1816, the period when preparations began to be made for the re-establishment of a metallic currency, we shall find that periodical fluctuations took place—that the prosperity of the nation was repeatedly sacrificed to force gold into our coffers. Distress came upon us, and continued until the stringency of our monetary regulations were relaxed- A free issue of paper on the part of the Bank inva riably restored commercial and manufacturing acti vity, and afforded employment to the people, and this went on until the screw was again put on, and everything was again sacrificed in order to turn the stream of gold. The Act of 1844, however, rendered it impossible to resort to those remedial measures that had previously proved so efficacious. And hence the periodical calamity that visited the nation since the introduction of the Act of 1119 was of much greater intensity, and of a more aggravated charac ter in 1847, than on any former occasion. We shall return to this subject on an early oc casion. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and of yesterday. The debate in the National Assembly on Saturday, on the subject of the conduct of General CAVAIGNAC during the .days of June, has terminated in the complete triumph of the Chief of the Executive Power and the confusion of his adversaries. After having listened to the reading of the accusations brought against General CAVAIGNAC, by M. BAR THELEMY ST. HILAIRE, to the:, eloquent, manly, and convincing vindication by General CAVAIGNAC of his own conduct, to the querulous accusations of ingra titude brought against him by M. GARNIER PAGES, and to the General's short explanation in reply, the Assembly, on the motion of the venerable DUPONT (de l'Eure), by a majority of 503 to 34, resolved, " that the Assembly persisting in its decree of the 28th of June, declaring that General CAVAIGNAC had deserved well of his country," passes to the order of the day. General CAVAIGNAC spoke for three hours. The following is a summary of this most interest ing discussion : _ SITTING OF SATURDAY, Nov. 25. Outside the Chamber coniiderab!e crowds were col lected, both of workmen and well-dressed persons. Eve ry thing was perfectly quiet. The number of troops ap pointed to guard the Chamber was increased. Inside, all the tribunes were occupied in five minutes after the doors were opened. It is remit' kable that, for the first time since the opening of the National Assem bly, the first and second range of seats were occupied with ladies. The Representatives, also, arrived earlier than usual, and were collected in groups in different parts of the House. General Cavaignac entered a few minutes before one. At one o'clock precisely M. Marrast, the President, took the chair. One of the secretaries read the proces verbal in the usual manner. The President—The tribune is to M. Flandin, for a rectification of the proves verbal. M. Flandin said that in the account given in the Moniteur, he found some expressions attributed to Gen. Cavaignac relative to the am ntioa that ought to be paid to the will of the majority. lie had not heard any such allusion made by the lion. General. General de Lamoriciere, Minister of War, declared that the report alluded to was perfectly correct. He had been heard by the Assembly.—(lL ar, hear.) General Cavaignac, President of the Council, ascended the tribune, amidst the deepest silence, and said that when he had demanded on Tuesday permission to ad dress the Assembly on the question of which he had then spoken, he did so because impelled to that course by the calumnious reports which had been circulated concerning him. He had to declare that he had no in tention of bringing any accusation against the mem bers of the Executive Committee. lie would wait with patience to hear what could be alleged against him. And, first, he would demand from the gentlemen whom he had named on Tuesday last if they had made in conversation any charges against him; if they replied in the negative, the question tell to the ground—if, on the contrary, hey had anything to allege, he called on them to do so, and he promised to reply. He need scarcely say that he spoke of the various circumstances connected with the insurrection of June,—(l - fear, hear.) M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire-1 commence by el, Oaring that we have not had anything to do with articles in the public journals. The whole question relates simply to the affairs of June. It is now five months since the Executive Committee has ceased to exist, and since then calumny has never discontinued its attacks on the mem bers who commenced it. The depositions which had been given before the committee of enquite enable us to reply with frankness and veracity as to the circum stances of the terrible days of June. We had no desirs whatever to speak of what then occurred. We have kept up to the present time a strict neutrality; but once that a provocation has been thrown out to us, we are obliged to respond to it. We considered it our duty to take no part in the election for President of the Republic. This we considered our duty, with the opinions which we entertained relative to one of the candidates. We may be misunderstood by our contempuraries.—(Loud interruption and laughter.) A Voice—" Who is the we?" M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire then went on to speak of his own position with the Executive Committee. It was, he said, not in any official position, but in one altogether non-official, merely as a friend filling the place of secre tary-general of the committee. He would, he said, read to the Assembly a narrative of the circuinstanoes con nected with the insurre, tiun of June written some months before, as was known to several members then present. The Hon. Representative then commenced the document, which began with the attempt of M. de Lamar tine to get the Bill of 1832 against the Bonaparte family put in force against Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. He showed how that step had been displeasing io the Assembly, and how a check had been thus given to the Executive Committee. The committee thought of giving in their resignation ; but the vote of confidence of the Assembly granting them 100,000 f. per month for secret expenses, caused them to remain. The document speaes of a sitting in council of the committee .and of the Mini s te rs , an d d ec l ares that General Cavaignac was remarkable for the oppoe Bitten] which he made to the idea of any resignation. The secret proceedings of the disaffected were all the time going on, and the danger became each day more immi nent. The document then refers to the state of the na tional workshop-, and show how the Executive COM. mittee had, en Ma) 27, given orders to General Ca vaignac to bring into the city of Paris 20,000 of the line, 15,000 of the Guard Mobile, 2,500 of the Repub lican Guard, and other troops, making in all 40,000 men. It was rumoured that an outbreak was to take place on July 14, and the Executive Committee had looked to the execution of their orders relative to the entry of the troops to ward off the danger that was to be apprehended. The moment of the insurrection, however, was hastened by the insurgent, and it was then found, first, that the number of troops in Paris was far inferior to that ordered by the Executive Committee, and al together unequal to the emergency; and next, that the orders of the Executive Committee had not been executed. The document then entered at great length into an account of the insurrection, speaking of the deputation of delegates of the national workshops which had waited on M. Marie—the groups formed at the Pantheon—the total absence of troops to dissipate the assemblages, although the most incendiary language was used—the formation of barricades without the slightest hindrance, notwithstanding that General Cavuignac was at the head of the war department. It then referred to a letter seat to General Cavaignac by the Executive Committee, ordering him to furnish troops—two battalions, to defend the Pantheon. That letter the General had afterwards denied having re ceived; but it being affirmed to him by General Fouchet, that he (the latter general) had handed it to him, he ad mitted that it had been received by him. It was to be remarked that General Cavaignac at the time imposed silence on General Fuuchet on the subject, and that soon after the insurrection he dismissed General Fouchet from his place, as Commander of the Ist Mili tary Division, and sent him away to a less important post.—(Agitation.) The insurrection went on its course, and on the 23d of June it was found that decisive mea sures must be adopted. But it was then found that this was almost impossible, from the insufficiency of troops in Paris. The plan devised by the Executive Committee for the defence of the left bank of the Seine was to have every street gone through by strung parties of cavalry, Guard Mobile, and the line ; had that plan been followed there was no doubt the insurrection would have been put down. But the plan felled from the s ant of troops. And yet, from the 27th of May, the orders had been given to the General for the purpose of properly defending Paris. On the 23d of June, at twelve o clock in the day, Gene ral Cavaignac sent to the Luxembourg to M. Gar- Mee Pagli to send him forthwith the two bat tsliona pluck d a short time before fur the defence of that building. The General declared that he wanted those troops tar the defence of the National Assembly. M. Gamier Pa‘;es refused; but General Cavaignac insisted, declaring that it the colonel in command rutused to obey, ' he should have him tried by ceurt-martial. M. Gamier went o o narrate coul d not refuse further, and the Luxembourg was i ef ont e speaking comparatively iv o el t y he u r i t .p ac ro ts to of ete:ho insurrection, d.Thedocun a t h t t h i then of some o f t h e meetings of the Executive Committee until they resigned. In the midst of the events which followed, General Cavaignac, it said, did disapprobation.) " "that I have not exhibit a ll that sangfroid whi c h m i g h t h ave b een ex pected from him.—(Treme n dou s uproar and loud marks s s ta e t r e v m e, e " s . th to is observe," statement. awid asthweritlltin nofoudrisaabplepo Gentleman, two months back, and not prepared for the present con juncture. I leave the language as it was then written." The document then entered into an account of some in- cidents connected with the struggle—thus: about one o'clock, M. Biezio had come to him to ask him to send 200 men to clear the Rue St. Jacqiies. General Ca vaignac, with his usual vivacity—(On ! oh !)—repli d by a decided negative, declaring that he ceul 1 riot con sent to disseminate his troops, and weaken his fu: ce. M. Bixio implored him to send the mere declaring diet in half an heur it would be too late; the General abso lutely refused. Similar sci•nes occurred several times during the day until about three o'clock, when the General went out on horseback, and proceeded to the Faubourg du Temple. Ile remained out until halt-past seven ; that absence produced considerable inconveni ence, as a vast number of messengers arrived, and could not deliver the dispatches which they had for him. The Executive Committee were obliged to act, and about five o'clock MM. Garnier Pages and Marie sent off by the railways for all the troops that were dispos able in the towns surrounding the capital. Meanwhile suspicions had arisen amongst the National Guards, in consequence of the absence of the troops of the army. It was well known that amongst the Executive Commit. tee there was one member whose opinions went far he yond his fellows, and the Naiiiinal Guard began to fear that they were betrayed. It was only when the troops arrived that these apprehensions subsided. The docu ment then speaks of the plan of General Cavaignac to put down the insurrection--it was to mass the troops in large bodies, and then pour them on the barricades; and the General, it is said, promised to carry on the war in the streets of Paris as he would have done in the plains of Africa. He was not acquainted with the war of the barricades—he had not been in Paris during the outbreaks of 1830, 1832, and 1834, and his ex perience in such warfare was absolutely nega two. It was well known to every one ac quainted with the subject, that the real plan was to pre vent the erection of the barricades, in place of att :thing them when formed. Every one who knew anything of street fighting, and particularly of the insurrection of June, knew that if bodies of 150 men had b en made to circulate on the Friday evening, the erection of the whole of the barricades could have been prevented. The only measure of energy which General Cavaignac then determined on was to send to Vincennes fur a certain force of artillery; but it was only the next day at twelve that this reinforcement arrived. The suspense of that period was dreadful; and it is now well known that the National Guards threatened to proceed to the most ex treme measures against the Executive Committee. The document then proceeded to narrate the meetings which had taken place amongst the members of the National Assembly. At that of the Rue de Poitiers, on the evening of the. 22d, M. Adelsward arrived with an inti mation that if the meeting desired to support him, General Cavaignac was reedy to assume the burden of the Executive Power.—(Sensation.) The Executive Committee proceeded to ,the Natiottal Assembly, where M. Gamier Pagas addreised the House, and where the House gave him and his colleagues the assurance of their full confidence. The night wore on, and General Ca vaignac still persisted in his plan of not sending out troops. Several times he was asked by various persons, as well as by the members of the a Te d ec h u e tiv c e on C s o ta m n m tle i i tt r e e e - , how many troops were in Paris , plied that he really could not tell in the absence of Col. Charras, the Secretary of the War De; artment. Gene ral Cavaignac, about half-past two o'clock in the morn ing, flung himself on the sofa arid fell asleep. During the time that he was thus placed, several demands to see him were made by bodies of the National Guard, who wanted to know where were the troops. The next morning (Saturday), about eight o'clock, the Executive Committee were applied to to give in their resignation. This was done by certain delegates of the Palais National, but they decided that at the moment of danger that would be impossible. The Ex ecutive Committee then preesed Getter.:! Cavaignac to commence the attack; but he refused, declaring that "he could not scatter the troops—that the lelsnonal Guard were there to defend Paris—that if a single one of his troops were disarmed, he should consider himself dishonoured, and would blow out his brains."—(Great uproar, some praising, and others giving signs of dis approbation.) The Executive Committee were egein applied to to resign, but refused. During the time that they were deliberating, the General had ex c l a i me d, " What I do you still hesitate, when in half an hour you may him Paris in the hands of the insurgents," the Hon. Representative then gave en account of the election of General Cavaignac to the place of Chief of the Exe cutive Power, and after again criticising his e, , eneral mode of acting against the insurgents, concluded by de claring that a slight cloud still hung over the proceed ings of the Executive Committee, which the present dis cussion would most probably clear up. General Cavaignac, President of the Council, said— Before I reply to the charges now brought on, I have to say there is nothing new in all that has been just stated. Every part of it has been brought forward before. I have, therefore, to ask the gentlemen who wish to speak, to present at once all their ascusations, that I may reply to them all together.—(Hear, bear ) M. Gamier Pages—ln reply to what the Gallant General has just said, I have to inform him that these are the principal facts which we have to bring forward. I cannot take upon myself to bring forward others, except as suggested by the discussion.—(Oh, oh.) The President of the Council—l accept the discussion, even as just put forth by the Hun. Representative. I here repeat that I have no intention whatever of attack ing the Executive Committee. There is, no battle between them and me. The only difference in the case is between MM. Garnier Pee*, Duclerc, Bar thelemy St. Hilare, and Pagnerre. (Hear, hear.) That being said, I 'enter on the matter before the House. I am accused, first, of not having had a sufficient number of troops in Paris at the time of the insurrection; secondly, of not having got artillery in a proper manner, and in fitting time, from Vincennes; thirdly, of the inefficiency of the general measures which I took for putting down the insurrection; and, fourthly, of the manner in which I arrived at the head of the Executive Power. The Gallant General then entered on the first point:—He arrived on May 17 from Algeria, and at once proceeded to the Executive Committee. Having been appointed to the department of War, tie of course took from them orders relative to the number of troops in Paris. He declared that all the orders which he had received had been obeyed, until the number of men in and immediately round Paris amounted to nearlj 50,000 men, including the Garde Mobile. He then al luded to the motives attributed to him by M. Barthe lemy St. Hilaire, of keeping back the troops for purposes ) of personal ambition: he absolutely repelled such an in sinuation, and declared that when the reply to the legal advocate had been given, he w ould reely like a soldier. The Honourable Gentleman then alluded to the precau tions which he had taken, immediately on entering on office as Minister of War, to make as much barrack room as possible to allow the troops of the line to enter in Paris. He could appeal to his friend General Bedeau, who was in command of the Garde Mobile, if he (Gen. Cavaignac) had not called on him to press his men to gether as much as possible, in order to afford more room for the troops of the line. General Bedeau (from his place)—l can declare that that statement is perfectly true. The President of the Council then proceeded to read documents to show what movements of troops had been effected by him, day by day, in consequence of orders received from the Executive Committee. Ile brought down the account to June 23, showing that there were then 25,000 men in Paris, and 29,000 in the imme diate neighbourhood. He asked whether it was possible that the committee of enquite could have left this important point of the number of troops in Paris at the time of the insurrection without being carefully inquired into ? Most certainly the strictest investigation had been instituted, and every thing had appeared perfectly satisfactory. He then re ferred to the proceedings connected with the defence of Paris. He commenced by declaring that no representa tions or complaints had been made to him up to June 22 of a want of troops in Paris. The defence of the capital had been considered insured, it was only after the insur rection that the complaints had originated. M. Barthe lemy St. Hilaire bad spoken of two battalions sent for to defend the Place du Pantheon, but ho had mistaken the word battalions for that of regiments.—(Movement.) That fact could be proved by the original order given. It was natural for a person not much conversant with mili tary affairs to make such a mistake. He (the Gallant General) here readLthe original order, from which it ap peared that it was not two battalions, but a regiment of infantry and a - aroopP•of cavalry that had been sent for. But there wai'stillehe observed, a greater mistake made by the honourable kentleman, as it was not for the Place du Pantheon that these troops were demanded, but fur the Luxembourg—(Hear, hear)—and what was more, they had been sent; as he could prove also by documents He then read a paper from M. Marie, speaking of their arrival. The Honourable General then referred to some other cases where troops were demanded, and said that he could explain them in referring to his method of defence, which he should then proceed to touch on. He could have either stated his plan to the Executive Committee or not. If he had declared it he was not certain that they, in their ignorance of military matters, would have approved of it; or if they had, they might have taken on themselves to carry it ow, and perhaps failed. He, therefore, had taken on himself to keep it to himself. His plan was to act with large bodies of troops, so that wherever an attack was made, it must have a decided advantage. He had called to his councils before the battle—forjbattle it certainly wase— Generals Bedeau, Fouchet, and others, and had exposed to them both hi s plan and the mode of carrying it into execution. Not any remark whatever had been made against it. In considering his plan it must be borne in mind that this was nu longer a mere police matter—it was a veritable battle. If he had consented to disseminate his troops, the consequence would have been—what it must always be in combats in a town — that their force would be much impaired and the success of the attack endangered. Ile therefore resisted all the demands made to him for troops, unless is cases where he conceived that they were absolutely requisite. The Gallant General then referred to several episodes of the struggle in June, to show that his plan bad been successful. As to the reproach of not having p revented the barricades from being raised, he declared that in order to do so he should have been obliged to scatter his troops, which would have been the very thing he had determined to avoid. Once his plan d tided on, to act by masses, he could not depart from it without endan gering the safety of the city. It had been . said that the attack had been negligerrly vireo:ed . , and with great loss o f lif e to the troops. Ile might declare that it was only on the 24th that the attack had been dr tided on, and that previously to that point.the lots was not of any great amount. Thus, from the returns sent in, it appeared that there were only 35 killed and 160 wounded; whereas, on the subee gin nt days, the loss was much greater. In fact, on the 23d, he was obliged to see what forces were opposed to him at so important a moment. Let it be borne in mind that the very exist ence of Paris was at stake ; and it was that feeling, and the idea that such an immense responsibility weighed on him, that bad drawn from him the declara tion that it the army was worsted in Paris ho shbuld PRUSSIA. We have received intelligence from Berlin to the 23d of November. No material change had taken, place in the state of affairs in that city.

Active preparation s were making at Brandenburg to fit up the Wile dral as a hall of meeting for the Assembly. The (.I°' vernment will, it is said, call upon the substitutes t° take the places of all Members absent without leave from the Brandenburg Assembly.
