Well, the murder is out at last—to the mind of Middlesex at least the Reform 13111 is a failure, a humbug, and a delusion. Gradually the suspicion of this has been creeping into the comprehension of the reflective. The great experiment in legislation which was made in 1832, and which has now during sixteen years been; subjected to a prolonged and deliberative trial, has proved in an eminent degree unsuccessful. The measure is repudiated even by those who were formerly among its most enthusiastic supporters. It is spat upon and cast aside like a broken reed even by the man who first pronounced its watchword of victory in the unreformed House of Commons, that watchword being " The Bill, the whole Bill, and nothing but the Bill." Of ourselves it is surely unnecessary for us to observe that all confidence in the Reform Bill—as an effectual amelioration to the people and as a security of good government—has long ago evaporated. Had it been otherwise, we should certainly have been the victims of a political ophthalmia. A blindness the most incurable, or an ignorance the most incorrigible sould alone have accounted for such an insane per petuation of credence in the efficacy of a notoriously bad, because a manifestly abortive and inefficient measure. Granted that the Reform Bill was a step in the right direction—a step dictated by the noblest motives of patriotism—a step which appeared at the "'roe to be most judicious in the estimation of the vast majority of the Liberals of the United Kingdom ; so f ar are we from casting any blame whatever upon the Or i ginators of the Bill itself, that we acknow ledge our t h or ough participation with themselves in regarding :t e r a results with the most sanguine expecta tions.to the Reform Bill, let us say at once, distinctly, decidedly, and without any reserva tion whatever-- e h av e been deceived. Mr. Hume and the advocates o f th e new p ro claimed as much. Th ey movement have already have all been deceived. ;Y et h ave been deceived. We us repair as rapidly as possible this stupendous blunder in legislation. After allowing sixteen y e ws of probation to elapse since the p assin g of the Ac Par liamentaryt Reform , it cannot be said thet a we ue precipitate in demanding a more us e f u l and compre hensive innovation. Yesterday a preliminary meeting of th e Liberals of Middlesex took place at the requisition of the Sheriffs for the purpose of deliberat in g u p on the be , t metho d of facilitating the cause of real and practical reform. The meeting was convened in the Riding School Aca demy, Albany- street, Regent's Park, with Mr. Sh eriff Cursrrr in the chair, and was under the auspices o f the author and leader of the new movement, the old sad tried friend of the multitade—Jour= Hums. If in nothing else, the assemblage is worthy of consideration from the circumstance of its having directly led to the association of the more rational and intelligent Chartists and the more dispassionate and cordial among the Radical Reformers. From that union, if properly sustained, may spring the boon of success, and hence are we disposed to regard with a peculiar interest the cha racter of the proceedings in yesterday's discussion. To demonstrate the utter futility of the Reform Bill as a remedial measure, it was scarcely necessary for the late representative of Coventry, Mr. W. WILLIAMS, to enumerate so many items in our ex penditure. Nevertheless, we are rejoiced that that Honourable Gentleman demonstrated to his auditors, with such an irresistible lucidity of argument, the deplorable fact that both Earl GREY and Lord Joux RUSSELL had been mis taken in their calculations, that the Reform Bill had not sent to the House of Com mons " the real representatives of the people," that it had not secured to the people the expected blessing of " cheap and good government." When it is remem bered that out of 1,062,000 electors in the United Kingdom, 163,000 return just 329 Members to Par liament, while the minority are returned by the remaining 900,000, it is most certainly needless to remark that the people are far from being yet enabled to make the laws through the medium of their re al representatives. When, moreo ver, it is borne in recollection that whereas under the old bo roughmongering system in 1830, under the unpopular administration of the Duke of N \ elli 018ngton, the current . expenditure of they was 52a, while the expenditure for the present year, .under the administration of Lord Jour( .RUSSELL himself, amounts to 59,350,000/. —being an increase expen of the Reform Bill of diture since the passing 7,350,0001. —it is idle to remark that the Govern ment can neither be considered as good or as cheap. From the unanswerable force of these statistics—and from the damning comparison of the effects of a boroughmongering Parliament, and a so-called Re formed Parliament, have originated the movement just ventured upon at the intentions of the Hon. Member for Montrose. The intentions of this movement can be fully recognised from the first resolution, proposed by Mr. W. WILLIAMS, and seconded by Mr. Hexer HILL, of Uxbridge ; the resolution being as follows : " That, in the opinion of this meeting, the Commons' House of Parliament, as at present constituted, does not fairly represent th e popu l ation, the property, or t h e in dustry of the count r y ; t h at t h e di sc l osures ma d e b e fore Committees of 1835-1842, and also during the present session, prove that the return of its Members has been extensively influenced by bribery, corru ption, coercion, and intimid a ti on; t h at t h e R e f orm Act has not realised the just expectations of the country ; that since the passing of that Act the public expenditure has not only been more extravagant, but has exceeded by many mil lions sterling the expenditure of the last session of the unreformed Parliament; that the system of taxation is so contrived as to favour the aristocracy, and to throw the pressure of its burthen unjustly on the industrious classes of the people." GOD prosper a cause, say we, conceived in a spirit so righteous, enforced by arguments so rational, and inspired by principles so pacific and generous, as the one with which the name of Mr. llumE has here become identified. Without extravagance or rashness on the part of its promoters the cause must ulti mately prove triumphant. wlhere can be nothing more formidable to the tranquillity and welfare of any nation, by which all its hest interests may be more hazarded, and the consti tutional liberties of its people more endangered, than a refusal by those who are called upon to discharge the important duties of jurymen to decide fairly and impartially between their SOVEREIGN and the pri soners who may be charged before them, according to the laws of the land, and the recognised and well known rules and precedents, in accordance with which those laws have been interpreted. When justice has been evaded, and the majesty of the law brought into disrepute, owing to the misconduct of some one or more of those who have car ried their political principles into the jury-box, and decided in accordance with their own personal predilections, rather than with what their sacred ob ligations demanded, the first and greatest palladium of the national liberties—the trial by jury—is seri ously endangered, and a repetition of such conduct is calculated to inflict the deepest injury on the kingdom in general, and an indelible stain on the parties themselves, who have so grievously miscon ducted themselves. While juries return just and conscientious verdicts there can be no possible pretext for any interference with the consti tutional tribunals ; for the substitution of courts martial for the ordinary courts, or of a military code for the common and statute law of the land. But the moment there is any wavering or tampering with the juryman's oath, so soon as parties permit themselves to be influenced by any considerations whatsoever, other than those which should find ad mission to their deliberations, an excuse is afforded to those who might be disposed to introduce the most strin gent measures, and who would find an apology for their infringement of the popular liberties in the dereliction of duty thus evidenced. When what was erroneously termed "A Coercion Act " was introduced by her Ma jesty's Government on the first assemblage of the new Parliament, iHNovember last, Ministers were censured by some for not having established some new tribu nals for a summary adjudication on offences in the proclaimed districts, but they expressed their con viction that Irish juries would firmly and unflinch ingly discharge the duties they owed to their country, and that there was no occasion for casting so grave an imputation on the body of gentlemen who consti tuted the panels from which the several juries would be selected. The proceedings before the Special Commission in the most disturbed counties in Ireland, and since then at the assizes throughout the entire counties, proved that this confidence was not misapplied. But could the same statement be now repeated ? Could any member of the Cabinet declare that he still entertained the same opinion that the course of justice would not be impeded by conti nuing the same powers to juries . ? We fear that the result of the recent trials of Messrs. SMITH O'BRIEN and MEAGHER must necessarily produce a great al teration in those opinions, and that should any new enactments unfortunately be required, they would necessarily be of a more stringent and coercive cha racter than those which were formerly deemed to be sufficient ; and yet it is said that in the former case but two persons, and in the latter case a single individual only, dissented from the judgment of their brethren, and from the plain and common ruse view of the subject. Thus a deep slur and a heavy xcep?Otingsraa is cast upon a great, and, with but few , we believe, a strictly honourable and conscientious body, through the act of three of their number. Previously to the 32 George 111., cap. 60, it had frequently been ruled that the only question for the consideration of a jury, in cases of libel or defamation, seditious writing or speaking, were the fact of publication and the truth of the inuendoes by which the meaning cf the va rious passages objected to were explained or qua lified, and that the Court alone was competent to decide whether the matter of the publication was or was not libellous or seditious. By that statute, bow. ever, the functions of juries were very considerably enlarged, and more precisely ascertained. It provided that on every trial of any indictment or information the jury may give a general verdict of guilty or not guilty, and shall not be required or directed by the Judge to find the defendant guilty merely on proof of publication, and of the sense ascribed thereunto into the record. As the Attorney-General well stated to the jurors, the law had wisely made them the judges of whether the defendant was guilty of sedition or not; but, though it had left them the judges of the charges, it did not leave any wild discretion to find that that is not sedition, which in paint of fact, is sedition. Although the jurors were to place their own constructions on the motives, and probable consequences of the sentiments put for • ward by the defendant, they should be guided by what had ever been recognised and known as sedition at all former periods. A more moderate definition could scarcely be asked for than that put forward by the Right Honourable Attorney- General. He says, " that sedition is to advise that which, if committed, would be treason." Trying it by this test--and one mc , re f avoura bl e t o the d e f e nd a nt could h ar dl y be selects d--can any one say that the allusion to an Irish 11,4 +public did not , bring him within the law—or his advice to the peo ple in certain events to up with the barricades and invoke the God of Battles ? To persons of plain and ordinary capacity those statements would seem to warrant but one interpretation. An Irish jurcr, however, has been able to discover another, and on his oath to declare that they did not come within the scope of the law. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The night of Tuesday passed off quietly, but the authorities very properly keep a considerable military force under arms for the preservation of order. There were large detachments of National Guards on duty at the various mairies, and strong pickets paraded the streets all night. The Executive Committee of the Government do not, it is complained, proceed with sufficient energy in their measures for the discovery and punishment of the guilty. The fact is, they are paralysed by the presence of LEDRU ROLLIN, JULES FAVEE, and FLOCON, who were so mixed up with the conspiracy that it is almost compromise impossibl them. e to institute any inquiries which The Constitutionnel remarks in very strong lan guage on the speech of LEDRU ROLLIN to the mob while they were in possession of the assembly, and thus re plies to the defence made for him by his friends, that it was to gain time that he made that speech :—" To gain time for what ? M. LEDRU RoLLIN, who was earnestly implored at one o'clock to order the rappel to be beaten, did not deem it necessary to give such orders. Besides, M. LEDRU ROLLIN promised the mob that it should not be deceived." CsussimEra, the Prefect of Police, who was mixed up in the conspiracy, has resigned his office of Pre fect and also his post as Member of the National As sembly. Seventy-five persons implicated in the conspiracy baie been arrested and sent to Vincennes. Among them is Colonel SAIssET, one of the staff of General COURTAIS, and implicated in his crime. The club of BLANQUI and that of the Societe des Droits d'Homme have been shut up. All discussion by armed bodies of men is forbidden. The corps of the Montagnards is dissolved. The lLfoniteur :publishes the following official ac count of the putting down of the emeute : " The day through which we have passed has been full of the most terrible emotions, but it may entail the hap piest consequences if the public sense only knows how to draw from these circumstances all the results which they contain. From nine o'clock in the morning the Commis sion of Executive Power, assembled at the Luxembourg, has prescribed all the measures, which were at the same time to have baffled the attempt of the conspirators. to have assured the deliberations of the National Assembly, and to have preserved the repose and security of the capital. Unfortunately the orders, issued with all the necessary exactitude and energy, were slighted, and not executed as they aught to have been. The Commission of Executive Power did not cease for a single instant to watch over the public safety, and its vigilance was, after five in the evening, crowned with complete success. The National Guard, culled to gether by the rappel, which was beaten in all the legions, met in enormous masses, to cut off all the ap proaches to the Palace of the National Repre4entatives. The clubbists, intimidated by these measures, quitted in the meantime the Aesembly which they had violated, and went off to the Hotel de Ville, into which they pe netrated after a short resistance. Having met again in one of the halls, they proclaimed a Provisional Govern ment, which was soon replaced by a second, but which did not last longer than the first. Scarcely had this pre tended Government been announced, when, in conse quence of orders given by citizen Marrast, Ma} or of Paris, the members of this Government of conspirators were placed in arrest. Entrusted some moments after to the care of citizen Zd. Adam, adjunct to the Mayor of Paris, the guilty ones awaited, in one of the halls of the Hotel de Ville, the fate to be pronounced upon them by the authorities. This evening the Commission of Exe cutive Power took all the measures for transferring the conspirators to the fort of Vincennes, under an escort which might answer for them. At eight in the evening all Paris had returned to the most complete security. The conspiracy has been put down, and it will be pu nished with all the severity of the law. So terminated this day, which opened in so formidable a manner, and which should so strengthen the Republic, for the au thorities will know how to punish the conspiracy as it deserves to be, and to put a proper limit to contrary hopes, which, perhaps, this senseless attempt may have encouraged." The Presse gives the following account of the arrest of BARIUM, ALITZILT, and TUORE " At the moment at which the 4th legion was pro ceeding by the Rue de Rivoli to the National Assembly, a man presented himself before the ranks, waving a Poniard, and shouting-Fi ve Mir best' Thin Luau bras immediately seized and disarmed by two officers, who led him to the post of the Ministry of Justice. The persons who witnessed this uttered the warmest cries of approbation. At six o'clock Barbes was at the Hotel de Ville, it is said, drawing up a proclamation,which was car ried to be printed, and by which the different administra tions were distributed among his friends, when two cap tains, and about ten National Guards of the 3d and 6th legions, entered the salle. ' Barbes! Where is Barbes! We must have him!' was their first cry! No, no! to arms!' cried some men with red belts. You shall marck over our dead bodies sooner than have him!' A greater number of National Guards then entered, and endeavoured to go into the salle occupied by three members of the Provisional Government. The sentinels posted by Barbes offered great resistance. Barbes was seized by the collar, and dragged off to prison by officers of artillery of the National Guard and an officer of the staff. The indignation was profound. Barbes was pale and dis couraged. lie did not walk, he was dragged. Several times in passing swords were raised against him. In the same manner Albert was led away. His features, which were entirely discomposed, displayed great emo tion. Thor 6 was next seized. He appeared less dis couraged than the others, and was dragged in a similar way to a place of safety. Each of the three was lodged in a separate place of confinement," In the same journal we find the following letter from one of the National Guards : " Will you be kind enough to take a note of the fol lowing fact, for the account which you will have to give of this memorable day? It was with the open complicity of General Courtais that the Assembly was invaded. We, die National Guards of the 10th Legion, who, with _ _ the co-operation of the Garde Mobile, re-established the representatives in their seats, will give you numerous proofs of it. The General, against whom the exaspe ration was extreme, and who was assailed from all parts with the cry of Down with the traitor!' having made a sign that he desired to speak, said, In the name of the people, I order the National Guard to leave!' A National Guard then cried, You are no longer General of the National Guard—you are a traitor, and in the name of the people I degrade you!' So saying, the same National Guard tore off his epaulettes, whilst another wrested from him his sword, on which he had placed his hand. An instant after he was driven from the Assembly with cries of Down with the traitor!' The National Guards and the Gardes Mobiles immediately distributed among them portions of the epaulettes of the infamous general. The stars, in particular, remained in possession of the Garde Mobile. It was then that M. Lamartine ascended the tribune, which M. de Mornay defended with courage. National Guards and Gardes Mobiles!' he cried in a firm voice, ' you have just saved the country! All France thanks you by my voice! It also thanks the army, which henceforth forms only one with you. The Government of the Republic, a moment eclipsed, re• sumes its Eclat and all its strength, thanks to your energy. May the criminal attempt of the factious men condemn them for ever!' These words were interrupted by cries of Vive la Republique! Viva la Lamartine! Vive l'Assemblde Nationale!' This passed at half-past five o'clock. At six o'clock the National Guard and the Garde Mobile evacuated the salle to protect the ap proaches, and from all parts repeated cries of • Vive l'Assenablie Nationale!' were heard." The Commerce accuses Louis BL.ticc of being one of the conspirators, and pays as little attention to his indignant denial as did the Chamber itself. It says— " It appears that Louis Blanc had premeditated the coup de main which brought France within an inch of destruction. For in the great entrance hall of the National Assembly, when, at about four o'clock, he was haranguing the chiefs of the sections, he exclaimed:-- ' Citizens! you are stronger than the tempest, and the demonstration you are making to-day is not one of those which shake, but of those which throw down.' These are the very words that came from the mouth of the author of the Organization du Travail,' who only a quarter of an hour before had in like manner harangued the crowd from the balcony of the Secretary' office of the Assembly." , At the close of the sitting of the National Assem bly on Tuesday, M. VICTOR CONSIDERANT addressed the Assembly. He said that some of his colleagues had • drawn his attention to the announcement which had appeared in some of the journals, that his name ap peared in one of the lists of the Provisional Govern ment which some of the conspirators had intended to proclaim at the Hotel de Ville :—" The sincerity of my principles is well known," continued M. CONSI DERANT, " I detest anarchy. It is true that one of the agitators said to rae yesterday, We have placed your name on our list.' I replied, Are you mad ? Whom do you take me for ? Rather than accept your proposition, I would suffer myself to be killed on the spot.' " This explanation was received with loud applause. M. CHARANIAULB then remarked that the re were two names of persons connected with the 'Govern anent on those lists, viz., M. LRDRU ROLLIN and N. FLocoN, and he should be glad to hear from them a similar energetic disavowal. M. FLOCON replied. It i true that the names of I certain members of the re;ular Government were , placed by the factious in thr lists. If the members of the Government have not thought it necessary to repudiate this attempt to compromise their situation and their dignity, it is because they have treated it with contempt, believing thit no one could be de ceived by it. The Journal des .Mbae contains the following summary of the occurrences in Paris on Tuesday Paris has been tranquil. The measures adopted by the authorities and . the good sense of the population have produced this fortunae result. At six (,'elock in the morning the rappel was beaten in the several dis tricts. The National Gnarls who had not participated in the noble demonstrttion of Monday hastened to relieve their comrades a t t h e ma i r i es . Th e points of the capital nost exposed to distur bances— such as the Hotel de Ville, the Palais Na tional, the Louvre, the National Assembly, the Tuileries, and the Luxembourgh—e wz o o n c a e l u t p i i n e a d rd b? G a a n rde im l p i li t n ie g ,l 4 113 s P o hs f ed th o e i line. 12th Legion, of which M. I f a o n r d c et,r troops Bar Lei was the colonel, wis remarkable for the number of men under arms, and for their discipline. They were marched to the Rue St. Victor, the head-quarters of the Montagnards, whon.iit was determined to di s band. The presence of t h e National Guard was electric. The Montagnards surrendered without offering any resist ance. At the same time tie 2d Legion proceeded to the Prefecture of Police to clsarm the Republican guard. This operation was not st quickly performed, but still it was accomplished. At . o'clock the 11 t h R eg i men t o f Infantry and tw o battaions of the G ar d e M o bil e re lieved the 2 d Legion cf the National Guard, which marched 10,000 strong to the Luxembourg. In that quarter the measures sf security were most strictly observed. All the streets adjacent to it were guarded by the 11th Legion, arri the thoroughfare was closed. The pupils of the Poytechnic, Central, and Normal Schools, with those of Alfort, formed an imposing corps for the internal defence of the Palace. At 6 o ' c l oc k, the most perfect t rau q i illity being established, which continued throughout tie night, the National Guards returned home. _ The Monzteur publishes a decree by the National Assembly, declaring that the National Guard, the Garde Mobile, and ths troops of the line have merited the thanks of the country, and voting the thanks of the National Assembly to the delegates from the provinces who assisted In the defence of the national sovereignty. Two other decrees order the pro secution of COUSTAIS, BARBES, and ALBERT, and charge Captain ALLARY, of the Ist legion of the National Guard, with the custody of COUR• TAIL Another decree appoints M. CLEMENT Morass Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard. There are two decrees accepting the resignation of M. GUINARD, as chief of the staff of the National Guard, dismissing M. SAISSEL, as sub-chief, and there is also an important order by the Minister of the Interior revoking the appointments of all the commissaries general of the departments from the 18th inst., their functions being without object now that the govern ment is in the hands of the National Assembly. We also find in the Monzteur the following proclamation to the French people from the Executive Govern.. ment " Citizenst—A crime has been committed against the National Assembly. Some factious men have attempted to violate the scvereignty of the people. In presrnce of this attempt your representatives remained calm and firm; the majesty of right has triumphed over brute force. The Assembly, for an instant disturbs d, has resumed its labours. It sits in the micht of you. still great, still strong, ever ready to insure the triumph of the Republic, and to realise for labourers the just hopes which the revolution had Oven to them. Crime is vanquished. The National Guard, the Garde Mo bile, the army, all the forces of Paris and the banlieue, drove before them the insensate conspirators, who masked their plots under the notate of iland. Citizens !—Your victory is hallowed, for the blued of your brothers has not been shed. Remain still armed at your posts ready to defend, as you so well have known him to do, the Republic against anarchy. The men who have sullied the temple of the constitution henceforth belong to justice. Justics• is in action, the Government is vigilant, and the culprits are in custody. Have faith in the future, for the future has never been wanting to those who have fidelity and courage, and your fidelity and courage have been put to the proof." Signed by the Executive Commission. It appears that M. CAUSSIDIZAE, the late Prefect of Police, and who is most seriously implicated in the treasonable attempt of Monday, still holds out against the public force at the Hotel of the Prefecture, where he is sustained, it is stated, by about three or four hundred montagnards. Not the least apprehension is, however, enter tained of a serious resistance, or of the escape of the perturbators, as the hotel is completely environed by an immense force of National Guards, Garden Mobiles. troops of the I;n., and artillery. This im posing force, who evidently act with a design to spare the effusion of blood, is so imposing in its num bers, as to set all fears for the results entirely at rest, The idea of holding out at all against such a powerful demonstration is, indeed, wholly preposterous. In other parts of the capital security appears perfectly restored. It will be seen that during the course of the sitting yesterday, it was announced by the Ministers to the Assembly that the persons in the Prefecture had surrendered, and that it was now in possesion of the officers of the republic. The Moniteur contains an official notice that M. CAUSSIDIERE, the Prefect of Police, has sent in his resignation to the Executive Government, and that it has been accepted. The general secretary of the Prefecture has also resigned. A decree is published, which directs that a corps of 2,600 infantry and 600 cavalry shall be formed for the special service of the police of the city of Paris, under the name of Garde Republicaine Parisienne ; that the amount of pay, and the mode of admission will be hereafter settled; and that the corps, which is to be paid by the city of Paris, and placed within the attributions of the Minister of the Interior, shall be under the direct orders of the Prefect of the Police. Then follows the annexed decree : " The Commission of the Executive Government has determined— " Art. 1. The following corps, namely, the Republican Guard, the Montagnards, the Lionnais, and other similar bodies are and remain disbanded. "Art. 2. The men belonging to these corps, and who can satisfy the conditioas or admission into the Garde Kepublicaine Parislenne, shall have a right of preference for a place in that guard. The officers, subalterns, corporals, and sergeants of these different corps, hut employed in the new Garde Republicuibe Parisienne, will be entitled to fifteen days' pay from the present date, &c." into e C a l l s ti u t e r we ittbhheetCrraAryUes This latter decree appears i n conse quence of an arranged lt arrangement e m e T n t t ho e rsee evacuate s f Prefecture uci culpable p E o iS teb gua rds, Panoi of firmness on the part of the Executive. The Cans fidiere guard are at present installed in the Celes tine Barracks, Rue St. Victor. M. Raisin, Governor of the Palace of the Luxem bourg, has been arrested. There has been another turn out of the workmen on the Northern Railway. Yesterday morning up wards of 1,500 of them struck work, and intimated that they would not resume until the terms which they had previously proposed to the directors — namely, a franc per day of additional wages, and a larger proportion of the profits than they now get—were agreed to. They at,the same time assumed so threatening an aspect that the directors felt it necessary to send for a reinforcement of troops. It was generally reported that the workpeople had commenced to tear up the rails, and that it was doubtful if the trains would be able to start any more to-day. This is not the case. The men merely refused to work. They have committed no sort of outrage, nor do they appear at present in clined ,to be riotous. A very formidable force is drawn up close to the station, consisting of the 29th and 34th regiments of the line, the 10th and 11th battalions of the Garde Mobile, and several companies of National Guards. The National Assembly met yesterday at half past twelve., ,The President, M. DUCHEZ, in the chair. When the proces• verbal of the preceding day had been re M. M. Albert Thumine rose and declared that he had heard with pain, that notbihg was said in the minutes of the feeling of disapprobation with which the Assembly had looked on the conduct of the President in quitting the chair on Monday, when the Chamber had been in vaded. He should propose a vote of blame.—(Loud cries of " No, no," prevented the lion. Representative speaki ng , an d h e a t last quitted the tribune.) The President informed the Assembly that National Guards had arrived from Havre , Cambray, Melun, and other places, to afford their support to the National As sembly.—(Hear.) He thought he should meet the wishes of the Chamber by proposing that a vote of thanks be presented to those patriots for their devoted.. ness.—Agreed to unanimously. The President had also to inform e Asembly that he had r ece i ve d a letter from M. Cthaussidsiere, stating that, after what had lately occurred, he begged leave to tender his resignation as re presentative of the people.—(Movement.) Some discussion Arose on the propriety of accepting this dismissal, but it was at last decided that the Assem bly had no Ul.l3lile•S uibeu.a thu rcsigna,tam Ot member, unless under some very extraordinary circum• stances, and that in consequence the resignation was accepted. M. A. Avond proposed, as the National Guard, the Guard Mobile, and the army had, by their conduct on the 15th of May, deserved a mark of the great, satisfaction and confidence of the National Assembly, that if the fite of Sunday next should not be again postponed, the whole of the representatives should proceed in a body to the Place de la Bastille and from thi•nce- [A loud burst of disapprobation here interrupted the speaker, and he was at last obliged to quit the tribune without making his proposition known.] M. Vivien expressed his surprise that Honourable Represematives should bring fora ard propositions with out giving the required notice of their intention. The regulations ought to be b,tier übserved.--(Hear.) The matter then dropped. M. Senard had to state to the Assembly the result of the inset iptions made by the representatives for the 15 standing etnumittues, The numb e r of names inscribed' had been exceedingly dispro• portionate, as those put down for justices had amounted to 217, whilst those for Algeria had been not more than 31, and for the colonies, 24. As each standing committee was to consist of 60 members, it had been round exceedingly difficult to establish them with that precise number. The Committee on Labour had, however, been. already formed, and had that morn ing held its first sitting. He had, in consequence of the difficulties alluded to, to propose that the matter be re ferred to the Committee on the regulations, with a view to some modifications being effected in the :num ber of the persons composing each Committee, until such time as the representatives composing the National Assembly should know each other more intimately, and be better able to work well together.—Agreed to. The returns for Corsica were announced. Amongst them were the names of Pierre and Napoleon Buona parte. The return of Louis Blanc for the same depart ment was declared to be null and void, in consequence of mal-practices on the part of some of the voters ; and M. Abatucci was declared to be elected in his place. That gentleman, however, immediately after announced that he had decided to sit fur the Loiret, where also he had been elected. The Assembly then proceeded to nominate by ballot, and by an absolute majority, eighteen members to com pose the committee on the Constitution. The result was not known at post-hour. (Left sitting.)

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. Great excitement prevailed in Berlin on the night of the 13th, in consequence of the determination of the Ministers to recal the Prince of PRUSSIA. A meeting was held at the Teztel, and after listening to several violent speeches it was proposed by the Pre sident that the whole body, among whom appeared about 400 students, should proceed tranquilly, si lently, linked arm in arm, and preceded by the above named as a committee, to present the address to M. CAMPIIAUSEN. This was, of course, agreed to with uproarious acclamations; and the multitude fell into tolerable order, marched up the Thier Garten to the Brandenburg-gate, and thence to the Minister's house in the Wilhelms-street. In the meantime the bugles sounded 'to arms in the different burgher-guard wards, and strong de tachments quickly mustered, and were stationed, some in front of M. CAMPHIUSEN'S abode, and others at the Prince of PRUSSIA'S palace. The deputation having been introduced and de livered their commands, the Minister replied, as be had previously done to their predecessors, adding, that the Ministerial decision regarding the Prince having been agreed upon in Council, he would refer the address to his colleagues this morning, and com municate the result to the deputation in the course of the day. Thereupon the latter withdrew, but not without administering a sharp lecture to the Ministry for venturing to decide upon, and execute, a measure which could only be determined by the will of the people. A part of the dense crowds that filled the Wil helms-street now dispersed, but a vast body pro ceeded to the Linden, where, after collecting in noisy groups and masses, it was suggested that they should proceed to the Prince's palace, and after uttering a lusty " pereat," forthwith re inscribe on doors and walls the " national property," that " the reactionists" had effaced ; whilst others, and those the most numerous, insisted that these words should he printed in black letters upon the frieze. A simultaneous rush was then made t“ the palace, but the burgher-guard, drawn up in front, resisted, and dove back all who ap proached, and continued to maintain their ground steadily. At length HELD, EISEILER, and some of the leaders, having obtained admission upon the elevated approach to the doors under the peristyle, mounted the iron balustrades, and, clinging to the lamp-posts, harangued the people in the same strain as at the Zelten. But here the question turned merely upon deciding whether the words "national property" should be re-inscribed in chalk, as before, or painted ineffaceably " with a brush" on the walls. At eight o'clock on the evening of the 14th, a ge. neral proclamation appeared announcing that the Ministers desist from calling back the Prince of PRUSSIA. They state, in rather obscure terms, that the Prince will not return to Berlin before the Diet shall have been consulted. An address in favour of the Poles, placarded on the walls, and signed by 104 Berlin students, has been answered by a counter address, and placards, signed by 416 of the same university, not against the Poles, but in favour of saving their German-Posen country men from being abandoned as Polish subjects. POSEN. A report from General WEDELL, dated the 11th instant, from Piatkouczarne, where the capitula tion was to have been carried into effect, stated that only thirty-five of the insurgent Poles were found in arms. The rest of the 8,000 or 9,000 had gradually dispersed or separated into small bands, and were selling their horses and equipments, and committing every kind of mischief and plunder (allerlie unfug and plunderung). De tachmen',B are sent in all directions in pursuit of those dangerous stragglers, and a general battue of the woods on the banks of the Wartha was ordered to take place yesterday, and thus the principal corps of insurgents may be regarded as completely overcome, although they have escaped the bonds of acknow ledged surrender. MIEROSLAWSKI, their former leader, who was condemned to death and pardoned at Berlin, has been captured, with three of his com panions. They were discovered concealed in the house of a nobleman, •about twelve miles from Posen. He vs ill be sent under a strong escort to the citadel of Custrin, to suffer most probably . a second condem nation, and at least indefinite captiv ity. RUSSTA ST. PETERSIIURGIi, MAY 6.—By command of the EMPEROR, the sum of 6,000,000 of roubles was trans ferred on the 2d of this month from the reserve store, in the vaults of the Fortress of Peter-Paul, to the vaults of the credit expedition, for the purpose of aug menting the ready cash of the treasury of that expe dition, which had been diminished in consequent.: of the payments for the purchase of the public funds for the transfer capital payment of the gold washers. From the official scrutiny and revision of the State bonds lying in the reserve store vaults of the Peter- Paul fortress, it appears that after the deduction of the above sum of 6,000,000, there still remains the sum of 109,58ii,595 roubles 19 copecs silver. The merchants of Moscow have placed 50,000,000 silver roubles at the disposal of the EMPEROR. The various provinces, at vast sacrifices, have offered to tureish horses and provi►ions. Almost all the in fluential and wealthy Russians who are abroad are returning to Russia. Yesterday evening the family of Prince GALLITZEN arrived here from Paris, on their road to Russia. The Russian nobles are flock ing round their monarch more than ever, and there is no longer a doubt that preparations for war are being made on an extensive scale. Meantime M. VON MAGENDORF continues the assurance that the EMPEROR entertains the most pacific intentions. The report that the EMPEROR had left St. Petersburgh for Riga is incorrect. His MAJESTY is still at St. Petersburgh, and held a grand review a day or two before the sailing of the steamer.—Cologne Gazette. ITALY. LOMBARDY AND VENICE. While CHARLES ALBERT and RADETHIT were fighting under the walls of Verona, a very warm affair took place at Piave between the Austrians, commanded by Count NUGENT, and the Roman troops, commanded by General FERRARI. The battle lasted five hours, and it is said the Roman troops received a check. Venice and the Venetian provinces are in a state of great alarm. 'lhe Pati•ia of the 9th says, that 500 volunteers and 3,000 Neapolitan troops embarked at Ancona on the Sth, and were received with great demonstrations of joy. It is said that General BIANCHI and a daughter of Count NUGENT are guarded as hostages at Treviso. The blockade of Venice is said to be quite ridicu lous, merchant vessels entering with perfect ease. ROME. The Piednzontese Gazette of the 12th, publishes the following.— " ROME, MAY s.—Order of the day from the Minister of War to the Militia. It has pleased our common Father and Sovereign to call me to the administra tion of the war department, at this solemn moment, which promises so much glory to the ancient city of Rome, and to all Italy.

DUTCH PAPERS. TEM HAGUE, MAY 14.—CHANGE OF MINISTRY.— At the opening of the sitting of the Second Chamber of the States General, at which the Ministers of the Interior, Justice, Marine, and of the Catholic religion were present, the President communicated a Royal message announcing that Count de Schimmelpenninck and Major- General Napier had given in their resignation, the former of his post of rresident of the Ministerial Council, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Finance ad inkrim, the latter of his post of Minister of War. His Majesty has been pleased to accept their resignations on the promise that the said gentlemen shall continue to discharge the duties of their respective offices till their successors shall be nominated. After the Chamber had debated the two projects of law, the Minister of Justice stated that when the Pre sident of the Ministerial Council declared that the fun damental law of the Netherlands should be formed after the model of the British constitution, seeing divers changes which would be necessary and requisite to adapt it to the difference of custom prevalent in the two countries, the Ministers at first sight imagined that this declaration had reference only to the responsibility of the Ministers and the relations of the Deputies of the two Chambers. It subsequently appeared, as well from the declarations of the President of the Ministerial Council as from the reports of the majority of the Council, that they did not coincide in the views of the President. In consequence of this difference of opinion the two Ministers tendered their resignation. The Minister of Justice then developed at some length the new programme which it is the intention of the Govern ment to adopt. The new programme developed by the Minister was listened to with the liveliest interest, and for the first time the testimony of the approbation of the members was general. M. Donker Curtius received the congratulations of a great number of the members of the Chambers, The projects of law adopted by the Chambers were those relative to the herring fishery, and the granting permission to the house of Ryman and Co. to take pus. session of a depot of merchandize belonging to them in the fortress of Zutphen. Advices have been received by the Government from the Dutch Ambassador at the Court of Denmark, dated 4th, 51h, and 6th, stating that fresh steps have been taken by the Ministry of Copenhagen, and mat Dutch vessels nave been seized by a Danish man-of-war, on sailing from the Schleswig-Holstein canal. The canal is in an actual state of blockade, and this was made known to the public by the seizure of the vessels. Th e tenowing is the list of vessels :—The Jacobs, Catharine, Hen ,irika, with goods from London to Lubeck; the Edina, with sugar, Irom London to Kenigsbergen; the Sophia, with ballast, from Hamburgh to Zealand. The note from the Ambassador states, that he has the fullest confidence in the reasonableness of the proceed ings of the Danish Government, that every reparation will be made, and that tree passes will be given to Dutch steps entering a harbour which is in a state or oleekerle, including even Copenhagen and Elsinore. The Ambassador likewise gives notification of the blockade of the Elbe, the mouth of the Eider, and the western entrance into the Schleswig-Holstein canal remaining open. By a declaration of the Danish Minister, i% appears, that the harbours of Pillau, Danzig, SwiLemunde, Stralsund, Rostock, Wismar, Kiel, with the Scheswig ca nal, are in a state of blockade; the harbour of Stettin, is, however, not included. Swinemunde, however, being so, Stettin is, as it were, shut up within itself ; hence it appears that the harbours in the above list may be re garded as not an effective blockade.—Netherla ndsche Staab, Courant, May 15.
