' 'f..• ~~rr~e~n~s~ ~~~x LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1848. Paris sets the fashion, and, consequently, insurrec. tions have become quite the vogue s ince the revo : ution of February. The populace both of the Peninsula and the Continent evince quite as much skill ins ress ing up a political contention ala Francois, . the immortal ALEXIS SovErt might do in coultingth .t e daintiest poisson en pupilotte. Rome . . has . evincedu d i s aptitude in this peculiar kind of imitation. Under the h dily guidance of CICEROACCHIO, and . t etnte et, tual guidance of MANIIANI, the inhabitants of the Eternal City have latterly carried the banners of revolt even to the very p innacle of the Quirinal. Posen, aga i n , has become the arena for an armed struggle between the scythebearers of Poland and the soldiers of Prussia. AliEaosnAwsixi has con ducted the insurgents to the gates ot Gnesen, the ancient cipital of the Grand Duchy, and the ranks of their Germanic conquerors are being thinned to the tune of the patriotic chorus, Noclz ist Pule" Nicht verloren. Madrid has likewise become a scene of carnage—the carnage of rebellion and of executions. A new civil war has broken out in the capital of Spain under circumstances precisely similar to those which hurled Lovis PHILIPPE from the throne of the Barricades. A frightful impoverish ment of the exchequer, the adoption of a policy extra vagantly despotic, the concentration of an absolute andeo r r;_ e uptvearthuythoing authority in the hands of an obnoxious minist betrays an ominious similitude between the official posture of France in January, and Spain in Mat?. In the clamours which are becoming audible in the streets of Madrid there is a resemblance to the memorable cry "A bas lee Ministeres, and in the conduct of Conuovl and NARVAEZ a vivid similarity to that which marked the intermural campaigning of BUGEAUD and JAC- QuEmmar. How the Madrid disturbances will ter minate, whether in the modification of the present. Government, or in the destruction of ISABELLa. s sovereignty, it is scarcely at this moment possible to conjecture, but that the peninsular i emeides are assum ing a rather formidable character s certain, not only from the fears of CitaisTlNA as to the possible instal lation of a Provisional Republic, but also from the disposition of her Must Catholic MAJESTY to summ_ n ESPARTERO to her assistance. The popularity of that illustrious and patriotic soldier would prove more effectual, we are sati-fied, in the tranquillization of the Spanish capital than either the probity of MOLE, the de.oision of 'Dimas, or the restrained audacity of ODILON BARROT in quelling the fury of the Parisians. That some modification at least must follow up'in the recent occurrences in Madrid, is as inevitable as that Gallicia and Lithuania will be affected by the convulsion of Posen, or that Tuscany and the Abruzzi will experience a certain degree of sympathy in the movements of the Roman multitude, or that Mecklenburg an] Northern Jut land will be influenced by the warlike events in Schleswig-Holstein, or that Switzerland and the Tyrol will echo a•nong their Alpine crags the battle songs of Piedmont and the death cries of Lombardy. Cer tain as these things are, it is equally uncertain whether Posen will be permanently quieted by the establish ment of the Polish kingdom under the Duke of LEUCII TENBURG, the nominee and son-in-law of NICHOLAS ; whether Madrid will regain its quietude by the expulsion of ISABELLA. or the recal of EsearrrEao; whether Rome will declare itself for a Republic or for a renewal of its obedience to the Sovereign PONTIFF ; whether Schleswig will continue an ap penage of the Danish diadem or be forcibly annexed GO tne uertnamc (...UOICUCIaLI4. hardy will reconquer its solitary independence or as sociate its fortunes with those of the Venetians. As yet all these results are concealed in the inscrutable book of Futurity ; the leaves have yet to be turned which shall recount the consummation of these several movements. Still, whatever may be the se quence of late occurrences, it is certain that the Paris fashion has been scrupulously followed in Denmark in Spain, in Poland, in Lombardy, and in the Papa] States— the fashion of coiffeurs and constitutions, of stomachers and revolts. Meanwhile Paris herself has lately witnessed a marvellous series of vicissitudes. After all the heroism of the days of February, after all the glory of the Provisional Government, the national represen tatives are evincing a triple tendency, a tendency to apathy, reaction, and ingratitude. Louts BLAasc has lost his popularity. That fact, however, we are not disposed to quarrel with, since ti. Commission of the Luxembourg has proved to be only a splend d humbug, the most idle and seductive of the many idle and seductive illusions of Counmu nistn, the vision of labour amid-t luxury, of artisans couched upon velv,l, of tinkers, and tailors, and car limiters, and cobblers, suddenly translated :rom the workshop to the palace. Like CHRI,TOPHER SLY, in the induction to SUAHSPERE'S comedy, the Toilers of France have gazsd on the magnificence which has been revealed to them by an acci ien:, until they have roused themselves from their bewilderment with a hotnaly ejaculation, "For GOD'S sake, a cup of small beer !" Louis BLANC has, we repeat it, lost his popularity. ALBERT, in like manner, has reverted to his former obscurity. Neither have any longer the sina lest share in the Administration. DUPONT (de l'Eure) is henceforth nothing more than a simple representative ; and MARRAST—the moderate and intelligent ARMAND MARRAST —is exclusively restricted to his junctions as Mayor of Paris. Alto gether the Provisional Government has been defi nitively replaced by the newly• elected Government of Five Commissioners. As everybady knows already, that Commission consists of ARAGO, GARNIER PAGES, LAMARTINE, and LEDRU ROLLIN. LAMARTINE being fourth n the list! Fourth! After MARIE. a man, who, not., ithstanding his undoubted probity and in disputable ability, is still nothing better, compara tively speaking, than a political cypher. After might com e without a ny thi ng l i k e disgrace—but after AaaGo, or even after GARNIER P AGES , a 111811 M A RIE whoi A e nd it is LA l world, orl(i,wah 0 A R is T I t N h E u , s t s o l - i ) of a g , hted l I men in the bythe Na tional Assembly—it is LAMARTINE who is selected after MARIE, and only ininzedlutely before LEDRU ROLLIN. The secret of this is obvious—ithafsrompartthlye arisen from the hatred of the Ultras against the AgTiNE s policy,he partly have failed to o m p o p d o e s t a i t o i n o n o f o f thoseLA t Moderates re cognise the profound wisdom of LAMARTINE'S adhesion to the personal interests of LEDRU ROLLIN, and partly, and indeed principally, from the jealousy of the obscure many to the one glorious unit of the National Assembly. This is the secret. If LAMAR TINE were less illustrious, he would have been more successful. Of tl a new Ministry, appointed by the Govern ment Commission, here is the catalogue : M. J. Bdstide M. J. Favre Under •Secretary ditto. M. Recurt M. Carteret Under-Secretary ditto. M. Duclerc Colonel Charms Admiral Cazy Marine. M. frelat Put , lic Works. M. Creinieux M. Betionont Public Wership. M. Carnot Jean Reyaud Under-Secretary ditto. M. Flocon 1 Mar rest M. Cau-sidierre M. Pugnerre Government. But fat the superintendence of the Pin Commis- sioners, we should certainly, from the inexperience of the majority of the Cabinet, designate the Minis try the Ministry of Mediocrity. It is a satisfaction to reflect, however, that over this somewhat dubious council the genius of the five Commissioners will preside. From the palace of the Elysee Bourbon, they will act like a second, but more fortunate, Directory. Beyond this, it must be remem bered, that while DucLERc has hitherto been secretary to GARNIER PAGES, and BASTIDE secretary to LAMARTINR, FAVRE, the new Under -Secretary for Foreign Affairs, has been engaged as principal secretary to the late Provi ,ional Minister of the Interior, and has throughout been the most active instrument of the obnoxious despotism of LEDRU ROLLIN. In addition to M. FAVRE, there are three other creatures of LEDRU ROLLIN in the Administration, CATARET, TRELAT, and FLocoN. In the Departments of War and Marine it will be seen that the appointment of Colonel CIIARRAS is only temporary, while Admiral CAZY is a name almost unknown in the annals of his profession. Two physicians are in the Ministry, EtECURT and TRELAT, but while Dr. TRELAT is of notoriously ultra-republican principles, the opinions of Dr. RECURT are emi;ient for their moderation. Of the rest, it will be perceived that MArtaAsT still remains Mayor of Paris, PAGNERRE still Secretary- General, CAUSSIDIERRE still Prefect of Police, CRE MIEUX sill Minister of Justice, CARNOT still Minister of Public Instruction, and that BETIIIIONT has been removed to the Ministry of Public Worship. Such is the analysis of the new Commission of Government for the French Republic. Its auspices are rather ndifferent, for it has been elected with suspicion, and s principally characterised by inexperience. The long-deferred motion for the appointment oi Committee to inquire into the merits of the petition of the electors of Stamford was last night brought forward by Mr. Noon. The subject occasioned some very earnest debating, the result of which was a majority in favour of appointing a Committee —but a majority of only one. After reading the speeches on both sides of the question, it seems most extraordinary that such should have been the result, for the arguments of all or nearly all these speakers may be regarded, prima facie, as so many arguments for the motion. For instance, if the Noble and Ri g ht Hon. M e mbers for Stamfol d be so firmly convinced of the inno cence of the Marquis of EXETER, as they would appear to be, how can they shrink from an investigation which would make his in nocence conspicuous to the world ? The friends of the Marquis of EXETER (supposing the charges to be false) are the very persons whom we should presume to be most anxious to have the matter cleared up. Hence, to our thinking, the reasoning of the Members for Stamford is incomprehensible. The Marquis is innocent, they say, the charges of the peti• tioeers are utterly groundless, but let us say no more about the nutter. Such reasoning in other affairs would not be tolerated fur a moment. Such reasoning may almost be taken as presumptive evidence in favour of the petitioners. It, we again repeat it, if the charges against the Noble Marquis be false, his friends, and more especially the Members for the borough in question, should be the very parties to press fur an investigation. We do nut wish, prior to such investigation, to give any opinion as to the con duct of the \ ,arquis of EXETER, yet, supposing him in nocent, we cannot but consider the proceedings of his friends as being most injudicious. Their language should have been similar to that of Loed J. RUSSELL, who, without expressing a conclusive opinion as to the merits of the case, but yet being anxious to disbelieve the charges, declared himself in favour of a full investigation, that being the fairest and most satis factory mode of settling the difficulty. " I should say," observed Lord Joust RUSSELL, " that if the voting for that Committee of inquiry was in any way a condemnation of the conduct of Lord EXETER, I should not vote for the Committee." But without in any way condemning Lord EXETER, the Noble Lord proceeded to state his reasons in favour of an investigation. His arguments are most unanswer able, and sum up the whole matter in a few words. " If," said Lord J. RUSSELL, " it should appear that Lord EXETER exercises no other influence than that which may be fairly and legitimately exercised, then e must come to the conclusion that these allegations have been brought forward without proof, and the public mind will be satisfied. If; on the other hand, these allegations should receive cerrobo ration, tnen we SUOUIII /AA Lit . 1113,faell ale CYCill, in refusing the inquiry that has been asked for. Upon the whole," added the Noble Lord, " I cer tainly come to the conclusion that those allegations having been made, it is far better that there should be some inquiry, than that, by one vote to-night, we should agree that no further proceedings should take place." In this conclusion the House have also concurred, though by so very insignificant a majority ; yet we cannot exactly call it insignifi cant, for that single vote which decided the majority w.ll be fraught with very important consequences. The result of last night's division cannot fail to afford very general satistaction, for, however much opinion may be divided as to the particular facts of the case, the necessity which exists for a complete investiga tion is too indubitable to be for a moment called in question. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, We have received the Paris papers of yesterday M. PAGNERRE has been appointed Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Government. The members of the Executive Committee of Go vernment quitted their several ministerial residences yesterday; LAMARTINE, LEDRU ROLLIN, and A RAGO occupying the Palace of the Elysee Bourbon, which will be the official Palace of the Executive Committee, and in which their sittings will be held. MM. GARNIER PAGES and AIARIR occupy apartments in the Luxembiourg. The Messager says— " The public buildings which have been hitherto lent to the different clubs for their meetings are no longer ti. be so used, and tney must, in future, hire places of meetio4, it they think fit to continue them. This may probably have the etfcct of lessening their number." The Commission named by the Minister of Justice for the re-organization of the judicial system has de cided on the establishment of a bureau for the poor, cotnpo=ed of an advocate, an avoue (attorney), and other officers, whose duty it shall be to furnish legal advice and assistance to those who cannot afford to pay for them. An order has come down to Boulogne from Paris to put the whole line of coast in a state of defence, and to mount guns on the detached forts, which are built a little way out at sea. The gates of the upper town are also to be repaired and fortified. A similar order has been received at Besancon, on the Swiss frontiers, and the army of the Alps is to be increased by a fourth division of infantry, of three brigades, coming from Algiers. It will then consist of 38,000 men. Some apprehensions were entertained that an armed demonstr Ition in favour of the Poles might take place in Paris to-day. It is said that the workmen on the Northern Rail road have struck work. We read in the Commerce—" The Ultra-Republi cans of the National Assembly held a meeting yes terday evening in the seventeenth Committee-room. The entrance of MM. TRELAT, FLocoN, JULES AVRE, and JEAN REYNAUD into the Ministry is said to have been satisfactory to the whole meeting, with the exception of MM. BA.IIIIES and FRESTIN, who wished to have M. FLOCON or M. JULES FAVRB for Minister of the Interior. It is certain that M. LEnau-RouaN insisted upon having one or other of these two citizens for his successor, and threatened to retire if one of them was not named. It was no doubt this discord between 111. LEDRU-ROLLIN and his colleagues that gave rise to the report of hi, havingresigned his appointment as a member of the cin iitee of the Exe c ut ive Go vern ment." uin We find the following in the Siicle:— " We have received the following note, with a request to publish it:—' An imposing manite.tation in favour of the Poles is in preparation Nratiugitilohni Ass embly. ,raSau rday T May be l3 f . rien A d i s i the clubs of Paris ar e to assemble in one body to carr y up an address to the f Poland are invited to meet at eleven o'clock on Satur- Ai), on the Place de la Bastille.

We have not the least doubt of the good intentions of those who have prepared this manifestation, but if they reflect on the eonsequeneee that may ensue, n t only tor the trarivetit) u. lee ,s but for the cause t' ey wish toserve', we hope they will yet renounce their pro ject. To be strong, the National Assembly must be free, and diseegeged from all pressure from without. We know that the citiz-ns takisig part in this manifesta tion are animated with the same sentiments as those which guide the whole National Assembly. But it must necessarily follow that a certain number of the members will hold themselves bound to resist measures which will thus have the appearance of being imposed upon them. If they are adopted it will not be with that unanimity which makes their greatest force. Abroad, they will be said to be the result of intimidation, and then they will become devoid of all salutary effect. Is there nut also some danger for us in Paris? A part of the National Guard Neill be on foot. The prbcession will not be suffered to reach the Chamber. Who can say that some misunderstanding may nut arise, and that a conflict may not take place. At this time, when we have so much need of a revival of confidence, how can any one think Of thus taking the risk of such eventu alities?

The following is a report of the proceedings in the National Assembly yesterday up to the hour of post:-- NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.---SITTING or MAY 12. The President took the chair at one o'clock. The Members of the new Ministry took their places in the seats previously occupied by the Provisional Go vernment, the first benches on the left of the President. A proposition was made by an honourable represen tative that the Minister of the Interior should submit to the Assembly a return of all the funds placed at his dis posal since February the 24th; how these funds had been applied, particularly with respect to the working classes; also to state what was the condition of manu factures and commerce in Paris at present. M. Jules de Lasteyrie presented a petition in favour of Poland from the members of the Democratic Club. M. Perdiguier presented a proposition declaring that the situation of representative of the people was ineom patitile with that of public functionary, with the excep tion of offieers of the army, the executive council, minis ter and under-secretaries of state. Referred to the standing committee. The order of the day was the discussion on the mode of nominating the Committee on the constitution. Berryer said that there were two modes of appointing the Committee in question —one by the Assembly direct, and the other by the bureaux. In the first Case, it would be certain that the Assembly, atter fining discussion, would choose the men who appeared most likely to draw up the best draft of the constitution ; but there was this disadvantage, that many men who could throw out ex cellent ideas were afraid to speak from the tribune, and thus their experience or the knowledge which they could bring to the question would be lost. If the bureaux were to . name the Members of the Committee, it might hap pen that the men of the greatest information should be in the minority, and thus be excluded from the Com mittee. He should propose a mode by which the two plans could be reconciled, which was to have the matter first discussed at large in the Assembly, and then the whole of the Members to be appointed by lists in the bureaux. When the bureaux had voted, the different lists would be compared together, and the thirty-six who had the greatest number of votes nominated. M. Lterbette declared that the bureaux, by the plan proposed, must be voting as if it were in the dark. lie thought that for so important a question the nomination of the Committee ought to be as solemn as possible—in other words, ought to be effected by the whole Chamber M. Coyne proposed that the bureaux should name four members each, and that the representatives thus named should be brought before the Assembly, and there selected, thirty-six names being chosen as the committee. M. Ducoux proposed that there should be elected a preparatory Committee chosen from the whole Chamber, elle fur every 210,000 inhabitants of Fiance, or 150 Members out of the whole Chamber, who shou d eithdraw to the old Chamber, and then, atter mature deliberation, appoint in their turn a definitive Committee of thirty-six Members, who should prepare the draft of the Constitution. M. Callet proposed that there should be eighteen members chosen by the bureaux. and eighteen by the Assembly, the thirty-six thus chosen being considered definttive.—( Hear, hear.) M. Berryer signified that he withdrew his proposition in tavour of that just brought forward. M. Jolly and two other Members having addressed the Assembly on the various plans brought forward, the discussion was declared to be closed. The Assembly decided by a show of hands (the first having been doubtful), that M. Callet's proposition should be first decided on. Tne Assembly first voted, by a large majority, that the number of the Committee should be thirty-six. The Marquis de Larochejaquelin said that be should propose to the Assembly to have the 18 members of the bureaux appointed first, and then the other 18 in the Assembly. Also that in the latter case the election should be by ballot, the whole 18 homes on each list, and by an absolute majority. (If this last part of the pro i.osition were to he adopted, the ballot would last nearly from morning till night.) M. Cremicux declared himself opposed to the number of 36 for the Committee, and even the mode of nominat ing the members composing it. It was neither an ap pointment of the Assembly nor by the bureaux—it had none of the advantages, acid all the inconveniences, of both. He preferred M. Corne's plan.—(Agitation.) a1 ., 1110 rue ther diseessi i steee, at n tiNon NI. Callet's proposition, though previously appearing to have given satistaction to the great majority of the Members, was rejected.—(Renewed agitation.) M. Übine proposed that a Committee be appointed to consider all the propositions brought forward.—Re jected. The Assembly then went back on the number, of which the Committee was to be composed, the former vo te going for nothing, being considered applicable to M. Callet's proposition alone. There were various numbers proposed, viz., 150, 36. 25, 18, 12, and 9. The highest number was submitted to the Assembly first. The numbers were rejected suc cessively until the number 18 was come to, which was agreed to. M. Carne considered his proposition excellent when 36 members were to be named, but he thought it objec tionable when the number was reduced to 18. In conse quence he withdrew it.—(Great agitation.) Another Member said that he should in that case adopt the proposition, and bring it forward for him oh!) Some discussion of a corfased character here arose, and the Honourable Member who wished to take up Se. Corer's proposition signified that he should not insist, but in c onsequence of some suggestions made to him, should withdrew the signification he had just given. The Presiden t said that, as great diffieult y was evi dently felt c oining to an arrangement, he should decide that the oi,cussion should then go no further, out :should be resumed next day, thus giving the Mem hers of the Assembly time to discuss the matters in their bureaus.

SPAIN. The Midrii pipers of the 6th inst. bring no news, but a telegraphic dispatch states that a military in surrection broke out in that city on the 7th, at four o'clock in the morning, which was only suppressed after a singuinary conflict, in which the Captain- General of Madrid, General FuLaosio, the brother in-law of Queen CHRISTINA was killed. It appears that 600 men of the infantry regiment of Espana quitted their barracks under the com mand of their sergeants, and, with colours flying. marched to the Plasa-Mayor, where they occupied the line of houses forming the north side of the square. There they were joined by some civilians but not in any considerable numbers. General NARVAEZ, accompanied by General FuLGoslo, Captain-Genera. of Madrid, and by Generals FIGUERAS, CORDOVA, and CONCHA, proceeded to the scene of the insurrection, and directed that an overwhelming force of infantry, and artillery should fire upon the insurgents. After a sanguinary conflict, the latter, finding that they were not supported as they expected, surrendered, with the exception of about one-third of them, who succeeded in escaping. Amongst the killed is General Fueposio, brother-in-law of Queen CHRISTINA, who has been succeeded in the command of Madrid by General PEZUELA, and who forthwith assembled a court martial, which in the course of the day condemned seventeen civilians and seventeen solniers to be shot, and preparations for their execution were in progress at the departure of the mail. The object of the insurgents is said to have been solely to effect a change of Ministers. They cheered " The QUEEN !" and " Liberty I" in the midst of the fire. Madrid has been again declared in a state of siege. A Madrid correspondent writes on the 7th— " The non-commissioned officers of the Regiment of Espana, with a large number of their men, turned out at the first signal of insutrection, but after fighting bravely for two hours, the soldiers were harangued by their officers, and expressed their repentance. Several of the non-commissioned officers were arrested, and will be instantly shot. One of them, to save his life, declared that he and his coairade4 had been seduced by French agents; but the Spanish Ministry have declared thaT they were bribed with English gold. It is said that two French Republicans are among the prisoners, and that this time the Government will not show clemency, as they did to the leaders i❑ the last affair. Nur vaex boasts that he cares nothing about the French Government, as the Emperor of Russia will send 100,000 teen by sea, if necessary, to support him in his resistance to reform." MADRID BOLSA.

AUSTRIA. The Vienna journals, of the 7th, state that the National Guard and the students of Vienna have united to petition the Ministry to hasten the meeting of the Chambers, and for that purpose to publish a provisional law of election. They demand that there be no census of eligibility, and that three-fourths of the Upper Chamber be elected, and only one-fourth named by the Crown. Of the seven Austrian deputies to the Frankfort Diet, three are for close union with Germany. Baron ANDRtAN is the fourth—a most liberal man. The Frankfort meeting has addressed a brotherly missive to the inhabitahts of Bohemia, Silesia, and Moravia. It is said that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has con cluded with the CZAR an offensive and defensive alliance relative to the reciprocal preservation of their respective territories. The Prussian Cabinet does not accede provisionally to this alliance, and makes her definitive determination on the course to be pursued depend on events in Germany, and on the conduct of the French people. It is affirmed positively that in Prague there has been constituted a secret confederation, which has for its object an alliance of Bohemians, Gallicians, Hun garians, and Croatians, which, under the Crown of Austria, shall oppose itself to the aggressions of Russia—and there is little doubt will also array itself against the absorption of those nations in the general empire of Germany. VIENNA, MAY 7.—(OFFICIAL).—" In reply to va rious inquiries and expressed doubts, the undersigned feels himself called upon to declare publicly that he has not been appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and of the Imperial House, but that he has simply been commissioned, in consequence of the resignation riquELmotir, to take the direction of the Cabinet until a new Minister of Foreign Affairs and of the Imperial House shall have been appointed. "}RANI Baron VON LEBZELTERN, Councillor of State." The Minister of War, in consequence of a state• ment in the Wiener Zeitung of the 4th May, that the whole army in Hungary at the present moment dots not amount to more than 18,000 men, i-sued an offi cial notification, stating, that at the end of Alarch, the standing contingent in Hungary already amounted to 24 battalions, 62 squadrons, 19,206 infantry and 10,491 cavalry, In consequence of the calling in of the Hungarian and Galizian troops on furlough, this contingent will be increased to 22,255 men infantry, and 10,491 cavalry, making a total of 32,746, not includlng 2,471 men of the sth artillery regiment.—Wiener Zeilung, May 7. VIENNA.—KOPUTH, it is said, is resolved to re- sign his office as Minister, notwithstanding the entreaties of his colleagues, who will not be able to proceed without him. He has, however, suffered much from a complaint of the lungs for some days, and looks pale, and doubtless feels his strength in adequate to allay, by his persuasive eloquence, the storm that is gathering over his agitated country. All the bands of order and obedience are being loosened in Hungary, and the peasants, who have become partly excited and rebellious since the con- Icessions which have been accorded to them, had been j .fined by the depressed nobles. The re.•ignation of Zarsisa, Minister of War, is universally regretted, and that of Baron Von PILLERSDORF, Minister of the Interior, whose advancing years renders him uneTial to the burden of that office, will be severely felt in many respects. It was expected that Coun FIQUELMONT (who is no orator) would be succeeded by Count FRANZ STADION, whose superior mind and energy particularly fit him for the helm of Ministerial affairs.—The visit of Count DIETRICH'. STEIN to Prince METTERNICH has excited quite a commotion in the public mind. One of the most in fluential journals exclaims—" How can an Austrian Ambassador visit Prince METTERNICH ? He dots homage to a man who is despised by every man o' integrity, and hated by every patriot, and has fled as a fugitive in a foreign land—homage which neither his official situations nor the services of Prince METTERNICH sanction. As Ambassador of Austria he must represent the voice of his nation, and he may not do homage where that nation condemns." A very general desire is expressed that the Minis ter for Foreign Affairs would publish a definite pro gramme relative to the foreign policy of Austria. The fall of Venice is regarded as inevitable and nigh at hand. The Republic of St. Marco was still- born, and must soon find its grave.—Allgem eine Zeitung, May 8. GAL LICIA.—The Lemberg Zeitung of the 2d states —" According to advises from the Russian frontiers, the Russian Government has prohibited the exporta tion of corn, horned cattle, and horses to Ga llicia after the 21st of April, 1848." The Imperial Provisional Council of Lemberg has issued a notification that henceforth all judicial pro ceedings shall be carried on in the Polish or German language, according to the nationality of the plaintiff. The Governor of Gal licia has taken the first step in the execution of his long-cherished plan, and has associated with himself men of intelligence and in teg►ity, who enjoy the public confidence, and has already entered with them upon the work of pre paring various projects of law-1.

Their Majesties the KING and QUEEN have quitted the palace of Brussels for Lacken, but the Duke DE 13RABANT, the Count DE FLANDERS, and the young Princess will remain at Brussels some time longer. The horse and cattle fair at Ghent was of a very superior character, and purchases were very numerous at good prices. The ..lioniteur publishes the law which modifies that relative to coinage; also the law which opens to the department of finance, a supplementary credit of 200,000 francs for the expenses of coining copper money.

DANISH BLOCKADE.—BERLIN. —The intelligence received from Hamburgh continues to excite much uneasiness in the minds of those of our merchants who are interested in the Baltic trade. The losses which the British commerce will sustain by this interruption in the navigation will be very considerable.—German Papers, May 10. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A private letter from Hamburgh of the 9th says, that there was still uncertainty as to the blockade. Three ships of war had appeared in the mouth of the Elbe, but one or more supposed to be Dutch. German vessels were still stopped. It was reported that the Swedes had promised to assist the Danes, and that the Swedish Government had intimated to that of Prussia, by its Envoy, that the entry of l'russian troops into the islands of Denmark Proper would be considered tantamount to a declaration of war. The Scandinavian spirit was aroused both in Sweden and Norway. ARCIONI, tell in, about a fortnight ago ; with 600 Auitrians at the Ponte della Sarca (Tyrol), and aftei a brief contest, drove them b,icic into Toblino, with a loss of twenty men. This place of refuge was speedily surrounded, and the necessity of its sur render seemed imminent, when a large party of Aus• trians came up to relieve it, and the volunteers, finding themselves outnumbered, were compelled to retire, which they did in good order, and without loss. The Austrian Lloyd, under date of Trieste, May S, announces that Venice is declared in a state of blockade, and that an Austrian fleet is engaged in the maintenance thereof. !I* TUSCANY.

It WR3 rumoured in Berlin, on the 11th, that it had been arranged between Russia and Prussia that Poland should be erected into an independent kingdom, and that the young Duke of LEUCIITEN• BERG was to be the new King of POLAND. - . The authorities at Posen have prohibited the sale or manufacture of scythes, and all persons are re quirtd to deliver up their arms to the commandant of the garrison forthwith. All the gates are strictly guarded, and only three of them are permitted to be opened. They are closed at eight in the evening and opened at six in the morning. The attack upon G-nesin was fortunately unsuccessful, as a general massacre of the inhabitants was resolved upon. Some troops were hastily got together, and the insurgents repulsed with some loss. All the most respectable and influential Polish inhabitants have been seized and imprisoned, and among them STEFANSKI, who a short time since was proclaimed Dictator of Poland. It required a guard of thirty hussars to pro , tect him from the fury of the people. TERMINATION OF THE CON FLICT IN POSEN.

Week ending May ITALY. LOMBARDY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) An article of the Gazzetta di Genoa of the 29th ult. strikes us as worth quotation, from the manly and sensible tone in which the conduct and chances of the campaign are spoken of. " CHARLES ALBERT," it remarks, " deserves every praise for the courage with which during seven hours he has assisted, with peril of life, at the bombardment of Peschiera. This tortress, althou gh not imp cK nabte, presents grave difficulties on account of the width of the Mincio, which separates it from its besiegers, and the facility with which it may be relieved by the enemy from the line of the Tytol. If matters really were as the Gazzetta di Milano reports them, the affair would soon be koished ; but all these phalanxes of volunteers seem like the figures of a merchant on the point of bankruptcy, which make a fair display in his ledger, but count for nothing in the cash-box. You would really laugh if you were with me, to see the strange and terrible-looking figures which meet us in every little village through which we pass—men and boys arrayed in the most grotesque style, and who easily transform themselves from patriots into bandits. I have met more than one carrying with him a brace of pistols, a dagger, a sabre, a bayonet, a musket, and a knife in the boot. But, instead of braving the fire of the enemy, these heroes prefer acting as guard of honour to the KING. Milan and many other popu lous cities have enjoyed already one month of liberty, and yet not a single well-ordered company of their citizens has been seen in the field. I do not speak, of course, of the Lombard Volunteers under Aaciorii and Mariana; these are gallant youths, worthy of every praise, and actors in bold enter prises; but they are few in number, and only fit for the duty of sharp-shooters. I mean to say that, up to this moment, we have seen nothing, little or big, in the shape of a Lombard army. Perhaps I am wrong, but it seems to me that, instead of dis puting so hotly about forms of government, it would be better for our politicians to shoulder a musket and come and fight with us Whatever may be said to the contrary, the Germans are by no means cowards, or more disposed to fly than to fight. He who maintains that they made slight resistance at Goito must have been as far from the place itself as truth is from falsehood. But for the courage of our sharp-shooters and of the Real novi battalion, we had lost the day. I tell you these things in order that you may not allow yourself to be so easily captivated by the flittering tales of certain bulletins, which travesty facts at the expense of truth and justice—l say of justice, because in no Gazette have I found adequate praise given to our soldiers, who, weary and weakened, placed themselves cheer- fully under fire when summoned to do so, remaining thus for twenty-four and thirty-six hours together, without either bread or repose, as was the case at liorghetto, Mon zambano, GAN), an Poswenzo." We are glad to see that the more recent Milanese bulletins are beginning to give evidence of something of the practical sense IN hich pervades the above letter. That bearing date the 7th inst. may be summed up thus : "Every revolution, in its precipitous, but n€ ver brief, course, enters into various phases, each having its own grave and urgent necessity—each imposing upon the people its own particular duty. What is the necessity of the phase into which we have now entered ? - - - " Let us not deceive ourselves. Austria is making every effort to recover the Italian provinces. The EMPEROR is conciliating Hungary and exerting himself to gain popularity with the rest of the Germanic Confederacy. He has contracted a loan of thirty million florins with the bank, and he has dispatched Count HARTIG to RADETSIT, with direc tions to establish himself firmly between the Mincio and the Adige, and to turn all the forces he can against Venice, to recover it at any cost—the vessels of war lying at I'ola having orders to support him. Hence the necessity of the present phase is—war. This war will be long, obstinate, and difficult, but must ultimately leave victory in our hands. War, therefore, first—politics afterwards." a man o f approve d s kill an d Count G. COELEGNO, dauntless courage, both tried to the utmost in the later campaigns of NAPOLEON and in the Greek war of liberation, has been placed at the head of military affairs by the Provisional Government. Colonel L. FRAPOLLI has been accredited to the French Republic as political agent for Lombardy."
