M. Louis BLANC is thus ac quitted without a trial ! The whole proceedings of the Assembly in regard to this matter have been of a very extraordinary and somewhat undignified character, perhaps the natural consequence of the peculiar circumstances of the case, and of the inte rested feelings of many of the speakers. The discus sion of Saturday was strong and violent in the extreme, and the speaking was evidently not confined to the tribune. Violent altercations agitated the body of the Chamber, and in the midst of the con fusion the voice of the President was heard in vain. It is said that in his desperate efforts to restore order, the august head of the Assembly addressed himself particularly to various indi viduals with the Parliamentary adjuration of " Taisez-vows done r —the equivalent English of which expression, " Hold your tongue 1" would produce an extraordinary effect if uttered in our House of Corn .mons by the Right Hon. Snaw LEFEVRE. Silence being restored, the Assembly shortly afterwards, not withstanding the contrary desire of M. LOUIS BLANC himself, proceeded to divide upo n the question, as to whether or not the Assembly should authorise the Procureur-General to proceed with his prosecution. The result of this division wa s a majority of " noes," and the prosecution is accordingly interdicted. An other of the extraordinary features of this extraordi nary affair was the fact of all the Ministers except position to the law one (M. BastiDE) voting in op officers of the Government. Doubtless the late col leagues of M. Louis BLANC were animated with a certain esprit de corps which incline them in his avour, or perhaps a feeling of magnanimity prompted their f or bearance towards a fallen foe. The law did not view the Ministerial con officers, howe ver, duct in a favourable light, and the Procureur- General, and the Procureur of the Republic, have tendered their resignations. Such is,. for the present at least, the conclusion of the accusation against Loris BLANC. The historian of " Ten years" is, happily for himself exonerated from the threatened pro secution. He has been neither acquitted nor condemned. A majority of the Committee considered his conduct worthy of reprehension, a ma jority of the Assembly over-ruled the desire of the Committee. So the matter stands. The result is to a certain extent satisfactory. As his brother historian, M. LAURENT DE L'ARDECRE observed, Louis BLANC, notwithstanding his economical errors, is as an his torian and political writer entitled to the solicitude of the Assembly. Regarding him only as an historian, and as a member of the Provisional Government in its first most arduous and most glorious labours, we should have felt little satisfaction in the condemna tion of Louis BLANC, and yet had he been proved guilty of treason to the cause of Pacific Liberty, his condemnation would have been justly merited and inevitable. The Assembly have chosen the middle course; Louis BLANC is not con demned, but neither (let him not flatter himself) is he totally acquitted. We trust, however, the lesson will not be lost. We trust most heartily and sin cerely, that henceforth whatever allurements to the contrary may assail his personal ambition, Louis BLANC will consecrate his entire abilities and exer tions to the cause which alone is worthy of them — the cause of liberty and moderation and peace. We shall look with interest to the conclusion of the other discussion to which we have referred, namely, that concerning the cross of the Legion of Honour. This discussion was provoked by M. Rsz's pro position that the effigy of NAPOLEON should be restored to the decoration which he had instituted. Instead, however, of agreeing to such an apparently unobjectionable proposition, a very earnest and vehement debate ensued, in which it was affirmed that the Republic of France intended to abolish as too monarchical a decoration which a former Republic of France had instituted ! M. CLE MENT THOMAS, evidently labouring under strong excitement, asked, " What were these gewgaws of vanity ?" He was interrupted by loud murmurs, and cries of "Assez, asset !" He had, indeed, said enough to demonstrate the nature of his feelings. M. CLEMENT Thomas is evidently one who has never been able to append to his button-hole the coveted " rouge," and consequently he is utterly unable to appreciate its value. We beg, however, to refer M. CLEMENT THOMAS, for a full reply to his hitherto unanswered demand as to the use of decorations to my uncle ROLAND'S discourse upon " honour," in the recent number of Blackwood. Seriously speaking, however, we can not believe it possible that the Republican Government of France can, even for a moment, contemplate the abolition of an institution which, however much it may have been degraded by the use made of it by Louis Pumirre, is republican in its origin, and in its tendencies favourable to the most impartial equality. himself, read by the Premier in the House of Com mons, in whica he clearly explained that there was no direction given for the exclusion of any per sons whatever from the jury-lists on account of their religion, his only instruction being to strike off all persons professing political opinions in accordance with those for which the prisoner was impeached, and who could not, therefore, be considered fair or im partial arbitrators upon the question at issue. By far the most important part of the state ment, however, is that which declares that the coun try was on the verge of insurrection last week, and that the calamity was only averted by the strenuous exertions of the Council. They might appear to merit some praise for thus preserving peace and tran quillity, but they take care to remove every such im pression, and to e x p lain their motive for this apparent support of the law. It was not that they desired the maintenance of order—far from it ;it was only be cause they " apprehended that, under present circum ' stances, an armed attempt to rescue him and to free Ireland, might have proved abortive ;" they " there fore interposed and with difficulty succeeded in prevent ing the fruitless effusion of blood." As if ashamed, how ever, of having, on any account, averted the outbreak, they take care to add " that the recent indignities offered to the Irish nation have greatly tended to re move from our minds the hope which we have hitherto desired to cherish, that the questions at issue between England and Ireland may be settled by amicable adjustment. We feel bound to tell you without disguise that these indignities and wrongs are rapidly bringing us to that period when armed resistance to the oppressors of our country will become a sacred obligation, enforced by the highest sanctions of public duty." This is plain and unequivocal enough; the invocation of the " God of battles " was not more distinct, but should there be a lingering doubt it must be removed by the final appeal "to unite in a holy league against usurpation and injus tice ;" and " to contemplate calmly and firmly the chances of a final struggle, and to prepare for that struggle by furnishing themselves with all such resources as may enable them to command suc- cess." It is not alone the document to which we have above referred that indicates the determination of the Irish Confederation to hasten the decisive contest—the recent change in the Council who form the Execu tive Directory is extremely significant. Mr. DEYIN REILLY, who withdrew from the Confederation with Mr. MITCHEL, is not only restored to the body, but placed in the Directory. Mr. Joari MARTIN, an other of the more immediate friends and advo cates of the war policy, and Mr. DORENEY, who so ardently pines for the honour of martyrdom, and is prepared to be one of the earliest felons, are in the same position ; in fact every man who had the slightest pretensions to moderation has been removed. What will the Government do becomes the question. We doubt not that it will act with vi gour and decision, but it should also act with promp titude. It is due to the well-disposed and loyal citizens that the incipient rebellion should be nipped in the bud. Nothing can be so injurious to the cause of rational liberty as its abuse, or so greatly retard the amelio • rations in the state of the law which are so urgently required. The very man whose exile has occasioned so much di.turbance has done more damage to Irish freedom than the greatest tyrant and oppressor that ever earned for himself the hatred of the nation ; and those who are seeking to follow in his footsteps should be encountered by the most stringent en forcement of the existing law ; and if that is not sufficient to meet the evil new powers will, we doubt not, be granted by the Legislature for that purpose. •••=l. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. murmurs. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. ACQUITTAL OF LOUIS BLANC. On Friday a pamphlet was distributed to the Members of the National Assembly by its author, M. Louis 131.5.mc ; it was entitled "A l'Opinion Pub lique, le Citoyen Blanc—Journal de 15 Mai." As fragments of a political and literary curiosity we extract a few of the paragraphs from this singular pamphlet : " I commence by declaring, and that only to expose the audacity of certain falsehoods, that I have never had any relation direct or indirect with the citizens Blanqui, Itaspail, and Huber. I have only seen the two former once in my life, some years ago, and I have never seen the latter at all. Personally I know neither of them. Like several of my colleagues of the old Provisional Government, I wss sometimes with citizen Sobrier before the meeting of the National Assembly, but since then we have remained complete strangers to each other. As regards Albert and Barbee, I should be ashamed of my self if, knowing them prisoners and unhappy, I should hesitate to say boldly that I am their friend. The Council of the Irish Confederation have just published a manifesto referring to the late trial of Mr. MITCIIIII, signed by Mr. Slur"' O'BRIEN as chairman of the body. In that extraordinary document the Government are openly set at defiance, and a call upon the people to prepare themselves for armed re sistance to the authorities is put forward with scarcely a particle of disguise or concealment. We know not whether the Honourable Member for Limerick is the fortunate person on whom the lot has fallen " to stand in the dock as the next felon," as alluded to by Mr. DOHENET last week. He, however, has given the law officers of the Crown full opportunity for trying the chances of another prosecution if they should desire to avail themselves thereof. The first part of the proclamation is merely a re petition of the oft-refuted calumnies and falla cies which the Young Irelanders have so indus triously and unceasingly put forward in reference to the constitution of the jury in question. They speak of the unfortunate and misguided man who is now so bitterly expiating his own insane and headstrong conduct as "a victim to the machinations of legal artifice, and to the lawlessness of reckless power." He is, indeed, " a victim," but it is to his own acts, and to the encouragement he received from those who professed similar views, and declared their readiness to see their country involved in all the horrors of in ternecine war, that he is indebted for his melancholy doom— for being borne as an exile from the country which he would have seen polluted by the blood of its children, shed by each other's hands, for being de prived of the liberty which he would have degene rated into licentiousness. They assert " that Mr. M mum. was found guilty by a jury, selected not to try, but t o conv i ct hi m ;" an d a dd, th a t " by their nefarious acta a momentary triumph has been consummated—a triumph not over an obnoxious foe, but over the sacred obligations of justice, over the violated liberties of a na ti on ." Th e explana tions that have already been afforded as to the alleged packing of the jury, and the removal of Catholic jurors therefrom, have been so clear and satisfactory, that it is almost an act of supereroga tion again to refer thereto ; but when we find parties deliberately putting forward assertions which they must be perfectly well aware are altogether unwar ranted, and at variance with the truth, for the wicked purpose of stimulating the ignorant and un reasoning portion of their countrymen who may be led astray by their reckless calumnies to an armed resis tance to the constituted authorities, it becomes a duty again to expose their falsehoods, and to show how little dependence can be placed upon their allegations. In opposition to the u nsu pp orted assertions of the Council of the Irish Confederation we have the solemn decision of the sworn triers to whom the challenge of the jury was referred with the assent of the unfor tunate prisoner himself. There was not only a total failure of any evidence to sustain the charge of par tiality or favouritism, but it was rebutted by the positive and distinct testimony of the High-Sheriff himself, who proved that when he selected the jurors from the general book he was wholly ignorant of their religion or politics, and that he only inquired as to the respectability of the parties. It was indeed fortunate that the challenge was preferred, because it brought the calumnious charges against the law officers of the Crown to the most conclusive test, and furnished those gentlemen with a perfect answer to every in sinuation of a similar character. In addition we have had the statement of the Attorney• General . . . . . . " On the 14th vague rumours made known tome, a to everybody, the tact that a great number of citizens proposed to go and present a petition in favour or Poland to the National Assembly. There ended the on dit. I at least did not bear speak of anything else. Of the monstrous project to invade the Assembly and declare it dissolved—not a word." When the rioters had burst into the Assembly, M. Louis BLANC thus pursues his narrative : " Standing on the bureau of the secretaries, I de manded a moment's silence, which was accorded to me, and I profited by it, as the Moniteur proves, to invite the people to display calm and moderation, to respect their ow❑ sovereignty personified, in an Assembly elected by universal suffrage " I was again pressed by earnest solicitations. Feel ing warranted by the assent of the President of the Assembly, I went to one of the windows of the Court which leads to the Place de Bourgogne. I mounted on the window• sill, where Albert and Bartels appeared, and I addressed the multitude crammed in the court in lan guage which appeared to me most likely to appease them. In substance I told them that the legitimacy of their wishes for a more equitable division of the fruits of labour, and for the gradual extinction of misery could not be denied, but that they might be certain that the sacred interests of the working classes would not be aban doned by the Assembly; that the eternal honour of the Republic would be precisely to have laboured without ceasing to realise the right of all to happiness; that if there were fully in raising too high hopes on that point, it was at least one of those sublime follies to which it was pardonable to devote one's life; that it was a very touching and very noble spectacle to see a people for getting the anxiety caused by their own sorrows to oc cupy themselves with the sufferings of a friendly nation; that therein was recognised the essentially generous and cosmopolitan genius of France; but that the more the sentiments of the people were worthy of respect, the more it was becoming to present the expression of them in a legal and regular manner; and I terminated by con juring the crowd to leave the National Assembly all the liberty of its deliberations. " It was then that, speaking of the invincible force of the revolution of February, but of the absolute necessity of imposing it on the admiration of the whole world by moderation and wisdom, the only means of soon render ing it victorious over all kings, I pronounced these words, which have since been so crueliy misrepresented, ' This revolution is not one of those which shake, but of those which overthrow thrones.' And the conclusion, the resume of my speech, was this cry, which all the hearers repeated with enthusiasm, Vive la Republique Univers*lle " • " If," he observes in this place, " it be wrong to excite such sympathies, when one combats the expression of them with all one's strength, and when one has always served the cause of what we believe to be truth without condescension, without flattery, without a vain seeking after popularity, this wrong is mine ; but let another be found in my conduct i" In the Assembly, says M. Louis BLAINIc— . - " Overwhelmed with fatigue, the voice gone, I was carried towards the extreme branches of the amphi theatre. There a workman came t• me, and said, You cannot speak, but if you will write on a piece of paper that for the last time you intreat the crowd to with draw, perhaps I can succeed in reading it sufficiently loud to be heard.' I immediately touk a pen, and hastily traced these lines, •In the name of the Republican country, in the name of the sovereignty of the people, for the sake of all, I adjure you—' when these fatal words fell from the tribune, the National Assembly is dissolved " A great movement then took place, and carried him to the Salle des Conferences— " I was called for from all parts. A compact and violent crowd surrounded me, and cried to nae to go to the Hotel de Ville. I replied with profound consterna tion, which every one could have read on my face, that to go to the Hotel de Ville was to run the risk of causing blood to flow. I asked where several of my colleagues were. I could learn nothing about Albert, but some one told me that the people had insisted on conducting Barbes to the Hotel deVille, and that he had protested against it with great animation, which was con firmedpersons present whose names are unknown t o me." by some Two important su b j ects last week occu p i ed the attention of the Na tional Assembly of P rance — t h e proposed abolition of t he Le g ion of Honour, and th e ,prosecution of M. LOUIS BLANC. The discussion — with regard to the Cross of the Legion has been postponed, but that respecting the prosecution of Louls'BLelec has been brought to a summary and somewhat unexpected conclusion. After the Com- M. Louis BLANC then proceeds to relate that he got lost in the crowd, and was carried by it, he knows not bow, to the Esplanade des Invalides. There, with great difficulty, his brother and an artist rescued him and placed him in a cabriolet. The person to whom the cabriolet belonged conducted him to the TFIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1841. house of a friend in the quarter of the Ecole de ME- decine, from whence he went to the house of M. MAssos, a bookseller, to change his linen, and after wards went home. "To pretend," he says, "as a journal has dared to do, that I was seen at the Hotel de Ville, is a talsehood the impudence of which ex ceeds all that can be imagined." Having learned at his own house that the Assembly had resumed its sittings, he hastened there : "On arriving at the vestibule I was recognised by some National Guards. They precipitated themselves on me, a prey to an incredible rage. Let him he placed under accusation I cried some. We must kill him— that will bu the soonest done r cried others." _ . But some Natio n al Guards and some Representa tives hastened to his assistance, and succeeded in rescuing him. " It is certain, at least probable," adds M. Blanc, " that without their intervention it would have been all over w i t h me . Handfuls of hair were dragged from me —my coat was torn to pieces ; some wretches tried to strike me from behind with bayonets ; one, not being able to reach me ot herwise, seized my right hand and rags. In this state, perhaps, I might have expected on t he part of all my colleagues some covered t wisted my fingers. I entered the Assembly literally withof that consideration which the simple sentiment of humanity commanded. But such is the cruel effect of certain misunderstandings, unavoidable in times of revolution, that I only found hostile dispositions in a part of the Assembly. My presence in the tribune, to which I was called by the most imperative of duties, that of bearing testimony in favour of my unhappy friends Albert and Barbs, caused the must violent rumonrEd about that he had been on May 15 at the Hotel de Ville. He could declare in the most solemn manner that such was not the case, and he called on the Hon. Representatives around hits, in the name of their own dignity, and in the name of justice, to believe his asser tion.—(" Hear, hear," from the lett.) A Member declar( d that he thought it right to again repeat what he had already declared, that ou May 15, he had heard M. Louis Blanc say to the people who wanted him to speak, that " his place was where he was, and that he should not leave it." • 'I he President read a letter from some person named Bertrand, which declared that the writer had seen M. Louis Blanc on the day of May 15, when carried about Among the different addresses to the electors of the department of the Seine which have appeared from one candidate or another we may mention, as about the most interesting, that penned by LEOPOLD Duaza, the principal editor of the Nati ona l : — " Citizens," says this address in one portion—" a democratic journalist on the eve of the Revolution—a combatant on the 24th of February—l am to-day still at my post, continuing after the triumph to defend with my pen the cause to which I have devoted my life 1" by the mob, endeavour as much as possible to escape from their hands. M. Jules Fevre, the reporter, summed up at great length the arguments brought forward during the dis cussion, declaring at the close the motives which had actuated the committee in recommending the Assembly to grant the authorization applied for. The only ques tion for the Chamber to decide was this, was the princi ple of inviolability which protected all the Members not to be set aside, where sufficient indications were brought forward to show that the law officers of the Republic were justified in making the demand which was now ander consideration ? The Assembly had not to decide the question of guilt or innocence, but merely to say whether the ends of justice were not to be forwarded, even when the person applied against was one of their own Members. It was necessary that justice should not be arrested in its course by any obstacle, even when the inviolability of the Assembly was to a certain extent in question. The Assembly had not to decide to have the inculpated Member arrested, but merely to say whether the law officers were to go on with their proceed ings in the ease of May 15 or not. The committee had scarcely examined the facts ; it had merely done so sufficiently to Le convinced that the demand had been made without any rancour or political bias. He con cluded by calling on the Assembly to grant the authori zation. _ _ -Ist. Louis Blanc, from his place, exclaimed that all be wanted was an enlightened judgment. M. Dupont thought that the declaration of the ho nourable reporter relative to an arrestation not being decided by the Assembly, could not stand the test of ex amination, since it was evident that the HoLourable Re presentative, now accused, would, if the authorisation were granted, be arrested on ,the instant. The As sembly ought not to forget that what it decided now was in reality an article of the future constitution. The lion. Deputy here declared that M. Marrast could prove that M. Louis Blanc had not been at the Hotel de Ville. The Hon. Member also alluded to an opinion given by M. ....... The Gazette des Tribunaux describes a riotous demonstration in favour of BARGES and COUUTAIS— the mob on Thursday evening raising certain sedi tious cries on the Place du Pantheon. The Lyons journals state that the disturbance which arose on the 31st ult., in the Ateliers Na- tionaux of that city, was not followed by any serious consequences, but was suppressed on the arrest of about thirty of the most mutinous, and their confine ment in the prison of Roanne. The Constitutionnel is indignant at the efforts which are being made to prevent the election of M. TEREUS, either for Paris or elsewhere. And the Presse is striving to cast odium upon the Government, by ac cusing M. RECURT of following the extravagant course of M. LEDIM ROLLIN in the Ministry of the Interior. The President of the National Assembly, accom panied by one of the Vice-Presidents and a Secre tary of the Chamber, visited the Ateliers Nationaux on Thursday. It is said that they found the work men, generally speaking, animated with good in tions. Duvergier de Hauranne, in a somewhat similar case under the monarchy, which, he said, was different from that of the Hon. Member at present.—(oh, oh.) The Hon. Member maintained that the Assembly could not decide in so grave a case without more sufficient eri _ dence. [The Hon. Member went on for some time, but was listened to with impatience]. A strange scene took place at this moment. A crowd of members assembled at the toot of the tribune, some of whom were speaking together, when suddenly a voice arose from the crowd, and said, " M. le President, a member insults me;" great confusion followed, and the sitting was forcedly suspended, half a hundred members speaking together. The President said something that it was impossible for us to catch, further than the word, " Order." The disturbance increased, and for some time it was impossible to hear a word, at last— M. E. Langley ascended the tribune, and in great agi tation said that he had certainly used a harsh expres sion to a colleague, but it was because he had been first treated improperly himself. M. Dupont had descended from the tribune, and had gone away to his place, when M. Laurent exclaimed, that " what he had said relative to M. Duvergier de Hauranne was improper!" "I," said the Honourable Deputy, then replied—" the truth was never improper!" He retorted by a most gross expression, and desired me to begone. I, in my turn, gave him a sharp answer, and that was all.—(Great cons fusion.) Mr. Laurent, in his turn, gave explanations ; declared that the last speaker had thrust himself in amongst a group of gentlemen speaking, and gave his opinion un usked.—(Great noise and agitation for some time, after which the incident terminated.) M. Marrast said that he had at first entertained the opinion that M. Louis Blanc had been at the Hotel de Ville on the 15th of May, baying heard some persons say so, but afterwards, when he had made inquiries, he found from the evidence of the persons placed at the dif ferent doors, &c., that had he been there he could not possibly have departed without being seen.

President said that he had received a proposition declaring that there was no occasion ter go in g further e with the matter.—Rejected unanimously: The President then put the question to know whether the Assembly would authorise that M. Louis Blanc be ixoceeded against by the law officers of the Republic. The first trial was declared to be doubtful, amidst cries of " Oh, oh." M. Flocon and M. Cremieux rose against the autho rization. The second trial then took place, and all the Minis ters rose against the authorization. The President said that amongst the secretaries four were of opinion that the authorization had been voted; two looked on the matter in an opposite point of view. In a matter of such gravity he should prop,se the vote by division.—(Marks of astonishment; cries of " Well, four to two ! Is not that matter decided?" Great tumult.) To our eye the authorisation bad been each time de cided in the affirmative. A Member here said that he thought a vote by division was clearly called for.—(Cries of " No, no;" great confusion.) M. Louis Blanc said that whoever thought a vote by division would please him or serve his cause were quite mistaken. He protested, as a representative of the people, against the whole proceeding, though as a man it was a matter of indifference. He looked on the course pursued as disastrous.—(Hear, hear, from the left.) A scene of indiscribable confusion followed, which lasted fully ten minutes, the President ringing his bell, and crying out to procure silence. At last it was de termined to proceed to the division, by going out of different doors, which was commenced in extraordinary agitation. The President was exceedingly moved before this, and more than once cried out to Honourable Mem bers, " Mais taisez vous done." The whole scene was a disgrace to a deliberate assembly. P.S. The result of this ballotting was that the de mand for the authorization to prosecute M. Louis Blanc was rejected by a majority of 32 votes. BOURSE—PARIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 3.

BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE. JUNR 3. Boulogne and Amiens, 6%—Northern of France, 3%. Yesterday the election of eleven representatives for the department of the Seine commenced. Every where the name of M. Tuimas was being torn down from the walls; but it is almost certain, that, if re jected by the capital, the illustrious orator, historian, and statesman will be returned for the Seine Inferieur, or for the Gironde, or possibly for both. According to the Debats, the list of candidates for the representation of the metropolis is 167; but the Preue states that the actual number is upwards of 200. The Paris papers of yesterday contain the reports of the important sitting of the National Assembly on Saturday, upon which occasion the discussion took place upon the accusation against M. Louis BLANC, in regard to his conduct on the memorable 15th of May: It will be seen from the report which is given afterwards, that the authorisation to prosecute the accused was rejected by a majority of thirty-two. The acclama tions, however, with which this decision was received indicating the little sympathy were of etrhho f es e e e p b wr l e e enough, President (h et , naotdutgovhoo,kt voted th f e o c r h t a h i e r a u q a u g i t u t a a r l t . e rApVaes past n o n bj e o . i n a Some report g o r f t u h p e s s e o f r e w m o a r r k k m a e b n l e were proceedings collected oe I d — outside the ea t xg h ci e etead p t lcTerhoeawrdtrreeodsot:is. int publicexistence r tribunes, f talking any wger re o ea t t ' ingly Blanc. There was nothing, however, to intimate the building were just as numerous as ever. Inside the tion of an animated sitting. The order of the day was the discussion on the demand to authorise criminal proceedings be • • institute- against M. Louis Blanc. The President said that he had received an application from several representatives to have the o vote given without any discussion—(Oh, o h) • eventual decision of the Court before — w in hioh rder that the to be tried might not be in any way prejudged.the case was the Assembly of opinion that such should be coursethe Was pursued?—(An almost universal burst of " No, nol" he.. was heard from every side.) M. Mathieu (de la Drome) had read most carefully the report of the Committee, and he could not see that sufficient grounds had been shown to cause the Assembly about Me ec the Louista - to accede to what it recommended. As the evidence, ' which had induced the Committee to arrive at an affirm ative decision, could not be laid before the House, it was evidently. a vote of confidence that was demanded.— (Cries of " Ne, no.") He believed the law officers of the Crown to be actuated by motives altogether pure, and the Committee to be perfectly convinced that the course which it advised was strongly called tor. Still, for the Assembly to give a vote without knowing the grounds on which it gave it, would establish a very ob jectionable precedent. The Honourable Deputy then proceeded consider the circumstances of the case as f a r as the to ey had been made known, and maintained that though there were good grounds to grant the authorisa tion demanded, still he hesitated for the reason which he had just given. M. Larabit read a paper in which he dwelt on the enormity of the attack made on the Assembly on May 15. Referring to the declaration in the report of the Committee that M. Louis Blanc had committed most serious cr.-ors in his views of political economy, he de clared that this was already a most severe Judgment passed against him, and one which M. Louis Blanc would feel more than any decision that could be given against him. He examined the other statements in the report, and camQ to the conclusion that there was not sufficient reason for the Assembly to grant the authorisation. M. Laurent (de l'Ardi4e) passed a warm eulogium on M. Louis Blanc for his historical works; he allowed that he had been mistaken in politico-economical views, but why Ho st hat to be now brought forward against him? The n. Member then alluded to Louis Blanc's ep ee in the House the day before, and excited much pearan laughter by representing him as covered with bands and ornaments like a victim. Entering at great length into the events of May 15, he maintained that the confusion was too great to permit any one to assert that M. Louis Blanc had uttered the words attributed to him: besides, the expresion had been already cla imed b y Barbee.— (" Oh, oh," and loud laughter.) There evidently was doubt—why not give the benefit of the doubt to the Member who now stood before the Assembly in so grave a position? He should vote against the authorisation. M. Bac was one of those in the Committee who had voted against the a uthorisation. He had done so be cause he could not see that if the sovereignty of the Assembly w as once admitted, any Member could be delivered up to justice by the decision of the House, un less the formalities prescribed by the penal code had been first most fully. complied with. The Assembly ought first to inquir found, all the acts which had taken place, and then if it by the testimony of credible witnesses, that the views of the law-officers of the Republic were correct, it would be justified in acceding to the recommendation of the Committee, but not other wise. The Honourable Member proceeded at great length to assign his reasons for this view of the question. He then argued that it the Assembly should not feel any inclination to adopt that course, it ought at least to wait until the prisoners now in custody were tried, so that from the evidence then brought forward it might be seen whether there were really good grounds for the application now made toprosecute. He then proceeded to examine the facts alleed, and maintained that an ese amount of caglumny had already been immn brought forward against M. Louis Bla ent on nc. Fothe r instasth nce, it was asserted that h e had been pres lat the Hotel de Ville, but it would be shown that this was not the truth.—(Marks of denial of this assertion here arose from many of the b en ches.) It had been said that he had been borne in triumph by the people.—(cries of No, no, n ot the people, by factious men, by insur gentel") Yes, by the insurgents, who had invaded the Chamber. But was it by his will? Certainly not. He endeavoured as much as he could to prevent so undig nified an ovation.—(Marks of dissent.) The Hon. Member then referred to the language of N. Louis Blanc on the day in question, and maintained that the ten dency of his words was throughout conciliatory. lie had spoken also, he said, only when implored to do so by several of his colleagues, and on the express authori zation of the President. The Hon. Member concluded by warning the Assembly against entering on a system which might lead to proscription hereafter. To allow a member to be snatched ;, way from his duties as represen tative of the people could not be looked on as a light matter, and fur his part he considered it a matter tend ing to afford a precedent of violence which he should alway s o pp ose . / M. Louis Blanc here ran up the steps, and in a ho arse voice said he did not stand there to defend himself, but simply t o make a declaration on a poiet just alluded to. lie h a d not been interrogated when he appeared before the Committee, as to what occurred after he had left the Chamber, and it was only the evening before, when leaving the Assembly, that he had heard that it was SPAIN. Madrid papers of the 29th and 30th ult. have arrived. At present there is a momentary lull, or rather a stagnation, in affairs both political and commercial. As yet this momentary crisis gives no prospect of termination ; but a decree is daily expected com pelling the Bank shareholders to pay in 25 per cent. On the evening of the 28th General NARVAEZ had entertained M. DE LESSEPS at a banquet; and it was generally rumoured that the French Ambassador had remonstrated with the Government of her Most Catholic MAJESTY upon the abrupt and discourteous dismissal of Sir HENRY BULWER—representing that that act as beyond justification. On the 24th the Prussian Ambassador to the Court of ISABELLA arrived at Cadiz, and proceeded on the following day to Seville, on his way to the capital. M. FERDINAND DE LESSEPS, Envoy from the French Republic, accompanied by his first secretary, M. DE VALOIS, was received by the QUEEN the day before yesterday. Some French citizens having been arrested within these few days, M. DE LESSEPS has addressed reclamations on their behalf to the Spanish Government.

THE LATE VISCOUNT STAVORDALE.— Ihe mortal remains of this nobleman were interred on Wednesday last in the family mausoleum at Melbury , Dorsetshire. The funeral was quite private. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The following intelligence has been received from the capital of the Austrian dominions--intelligence which brings our dispatches up to the 2.lTth instant, and which corroborates in a great measure the ideas of M. DE LAIWITINZ in regard to the probable dis memberment of the empire founded by RUDOLPH of Hapsburg. The Academic Legion have sent a letter to the Com mandant, Count COLLOREDO, and have at the same time addressed a proclamation to the inhabitants of Vienna. The former is as follows : " The Academic Legion to the Commandant. " Your public question demands a public answer. It is true that the public thoroughfares are not the most fitting place for a lather to concert and settle family arrangements with his sons. You have, how eves, chosen publicity, and we have accepted it. Neither the father nor the sons have occasion to be reserved. We depend upon your patriotism. We honour your courage. We respect your judgment. But the Academic Legion also is pa triotic, and has confidence in its own judgment, though it does not overrate it, and should its► honour, and the wulfare of the country require it, would gladly sacrifice its very existence. We have, however, as you observe, reiterated and seriously tested the question of our existence. It is not the advice of individuals, nor one•,ided representatives, which have determined us to abide by our post ; but the deep-rooted conviction of all, that it is now, more than ever, our duty energetically to protect and che rish the well-being of our country in common with the National Guard. The Academic Legion will not disiolve itself. It stand and fall by the conquests of the 14th March 15th of May. will and " The unanimous voice of the inhabitants of Vienna, the sympathies of our high-minded Burghers, are to us a sure guarantee that our exertions are acknow ledged, that an existence is desired, and as soon as the voice of truth shall prevail, as soon as lying and calumny shall be forced to quit all their hiding places, the inhabitants of the empire of Austria will gratefully and affectionately acknowledge the Acade mic Legion. " Mr. Commandant—We cheerfully greeted you as our leader; it will give us pain when you quit us. The German Academic cap would never cover a nobler head than your's, but it will nevertheless be a cap of honour when you have laid it aside. " The Ministers have addressed a circular to the in habitants of Vienna, stating that their intentions are suspected, and are blamed for the absence of a pro gramme, which acknowledges an established plan ; that the existence of a Ministry without public confidence, without a plan, without a clear and defined course, is impossible ; that consequently it is the duty of even a Ministry ad interim to sub mit its actions, its views, and plans to the public judgment; that the programme of a Ministry, how. ever, which has to project a constitution is found in that constitution itself; that the 25th of April has publicly attested the sentiments of the Ministry, whether it be liberal, commensurate with the demands and requirement of the times, whether it pays regard to the civil liberty, to the welfare of all classes of the inhabitants on this point, twelve of the provinces, and the residentiary city itself have already given their judgment. None of the assurances of this pro gramme have remained unfulfilled ; freedom of speech, and liberty of the press have been conscientiously secured. No privilege of the Burghers have been diminished, neither pre judice nor partiality have been arbitrarily exercised. The constitution was and is the basis upon which the actions of the Ministry rest. It will be the irrevocable guide of their actions until another direction shall be prescribed to the acts of the Go vernment by a new fundamental law. Confidence alone can consolidate the Government; and a Govern ment thus supported can alone energetically and powerfully carry out the interests of the country. The Ministers, therefore, justly claim this confidence so long as the posts assigned to them remain under their charge. They at the same time declare that they will maintain all the liberties of the constitution of the 25th of April ; to accede to all subsequent con cessions, powerfully to oppose anarchy, disorder, and every reaction ; to acknowledge the Diet alone as empowered organically to regulate the laws of the country ; to re-establish peace in the residentiary city ; to maintain union in the provinces, and to use their utmost exertions to effect the return of the Monarch to his capital. "It the Burghers give them full support they will be able to carry on these measures; but should they re fuse their co-operation, the Ministers will deem it their sacred duty to relinquish their functions. Signed in the name of the Ministry, " PILLERSDORFF." The Wiener Zeitung of the 31st May says, that the EMPEROR, by a decree, dated Inspruck, May 22, has abolished corporal punishment, the stock, and brandmarks, until a new legal code on these points shall have been issued. Searching of private resi dences is to be done only upon a given judicial order, and ameliorations have been introduced into the sys tem of arrest. The birthday of the EMPEROR was celebrated on the 30th without excitement. The National Guard, the armed Burghers' Corps, and the Academic Legion attended divine service. In the afternoon there was a solemn presentation of twelve field- pieces to the National Guard and two pieces to the Academic Legion. His MAJESTY has received an urgent invi tation to visit Hungary, and has promised to comply with this request so soon as the times shall admit of it. The Arch-Duke STEPHEN, Palatine of Hungary, arrived at Inspruck on the 27th. His Imperial Highness, previous to his departure from Hungary, addressed a few words expressive of his confidence in the Hungarian people, his happiness, being placed at their head, in being able, in their name, to ex press to their MONARCH the unshaken attachment of the Hungarian nation to his MAJESTY and the Imperial dynasty. The Archduke Palatine has also addressed a proclamation to the troops, to the military of Transylvania, the Barret, and Sclavonia, stating that the EMPEROR has been obliged to remove from Vienna to Inspruck ; that while he thinks it his duty to inform the military and magnates of this circumstance, he feels assured that they will be deeply pained at the circumstance ; that he has, meanwhile, undertaken the supreme command, and sees, in the combination and intimate union of the military and the inhabitants, the sacred guarantee for the maintenance:of peace, exhorting them stringently, and in agenuine military spirit, to obey the behests 01 the Hungarian Ministry ; that by virtue of an Imperiti command the military will, as soon as possible, take the oath to the constitution, and ever maintain that allegiance for which Hungary has been renowned for centuries. The Allgemeina Zeitung of the 31st states that, in consequence of the proclamation of the Ministers respecting the withdrawal of the military, Counts DIETRICUSTEIN and Horos were set at liberty ; but that a guard of honour was placed before the resi dence of the latter. His post as commander of the National Guard has been filled up by the election of Count Pastrusca. Count Mosrscuccom, Count BRECNER, Baron PEREIRA, and the two professors, Drs. flyz and ENDLISCHE, have lied. FRANKFORT -ON-THE-MAINE.
