WIND S.; showery. ti HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAY. -3 ➢corning .. 50 rain. after 6 Evening •• 16 min. after 7 that the progress of affairs in the metropolis, instead of being in unison, at least to some extent, with the progress of affairs in other quarters of the United Kingdom, is altogether of a retrogressive character, we cannot but strive to force this fact upon the slug gish comprehension of Parliament. Take, for exam ple, the scheme which has been fully resolved upon as to the site of the London Fever Hospital. Was there ever any scheme of a more insane tendency ? Was there ever any proposal more certain to aid disease in decimating the citizens of a populous capi tal? Never : we undertake to say that with all the emphasis of deliberation. Here, because the site of the present edifice is required for the erection of a terminus to the Great Northern Railway at Battle bridge—it is proposed to remove the establishment to —where on earth does our reader imagine ? a spot in the Liverpool-road, situated between The berton-street and Barford-street, confronting Cloudesley- terrace, and right at the back of the High-street, Islington;, So that the patients will be accumulated together in such a position that the hospital will be surrounded by tall houses, the air being prevented from circulating, and the fever being enabled to spread most advantageously in the neigh bourhood.* Again, the Government have betrayed a singular want of capacity in the very preliminaries to a movement for the adoption of sanitary alterations in London. Instead of employing the professional and civil surveyors of London in the labour of surveys already chalked out for the capital and its environs, they have granted that employment, in preference, to a corps of Royal Sappers and Miners.t By that arrangement the time to be occupied in the under taking is virtually extended, and the expense entailed upon the nation materially increased. Nothing could prove to us more forcibly than these incidental facts the necessity of observing with vigilance the sanitary wants of London, and the manner in which those metropolitan wants are being treated by the Legislature. An apparent truce has been at length patched up between the:Old and Young Irelanders; reconciliation is to take place between the repealers of Conciliation hall and of the Irish Confederation. So at least it a ppears from the statements made by Mr. JOHN O'CoNNELL on Monday, and of Messrs. MEAGHER and DUFFY on Tuesday. If the wishes of the respec tive leaders should be fully carried out both associa tions are to be forthwith dissolved, and a new and united body is to arise from their ashes, founded upon principles upon which all can agree. We have yet to learn, however, the real nature of the arrange ments for the proposed amalgamation of the hitherto conflicting elements. If Mr. O'CONNELL has cor rectly stated the terms the Young Irelanders have succumbed, have consented to abandon the most of their ways, and henceforward to " Roar as mildly as a sucking dove." within the scope of the law. For these reasons, then, each party may for a time agree to the coalition ; but it does not require any great degree of foresight to prophecy the speedy repeal of a union standing on such precarious foundations. The Hon. Gentleman says, " that there is to be nothing illegal in the new body. It would be per fectly legal and constitutional, all violence of expres sion and suggestion of counsel contrary to law would be excluded. No matter of consequence would be brought forward publicly, until it had been discussed, and fully approved of by the council of the new association selected from the members of both Repeal sections." If this be so, the seceders might have rejoined the original association, for they will, in every respect, have conformed to the rules which they formerly refused to obey, and which they so strenuously and indignantly de nounced as mere humbug, only calculated to delude the people, and to prevent the speedy attainment of a separate nationality. On the other side, however, we find Messrs. MEAGHER and DUFFY declaring " that the principles on which they were invited to join the second association were the same as those of the Irish Confederation." Here is a clear and decided contra • diction in the very first instance ; and if we were not so well aware of the distinction which sometimes exists between " Irish sayings" and " Irish doings," we should consider it fatal to the pending negotiation, and believe that both associations would still con tinue their separate existence. There are, however good and sufficient reasons to induce the opposing parties to abate something of their respective pre tensions, and to waive what had heretofore been considered as indispensable to any coalition. The Conciliation Hall Leader honestly declared the cause that induced him to yield a reluctant consent to such a course, and candidly acknowledged that " he entertained some doubts and fears respecting the propriety of the step he was about to take." An irresistable necessity, however, in the shape of an exhausted treasury, impelled. Money was wanting, and money could not be procured under present circumstances ; and therefore something must be done, however repugnant to his feelings. The following extract from the funeral oration of the defunct Association manifestly explains the motives by which the Old Inlanders were actuated : "Under any circumstances (said the Honourable Member for Limerick) that Association could no longer exist if the country did not support it. It was clear that without better support they could not keep their doors open much longer, with such unmistake able signs of a decreasing rent. It could not be de nied that last week the rent only amounted to 12/, and he regretted to add that the rent of this week was considerably beneath that amount. He confessed that this circumstance showed that the feeling of the country was against the Association. The country was, however, the proper judge, and it was their duty not to remonstrate against the will of the People, but to bow to their decision." This is perfectly clear and intelligible. It is the case of a bankrupt concern taking a new partner, whose capital may enable the former members to carry on their transactions, and avoid the Gazette for a brief space. The closing of the shop from want of funds to meet their liabilities and defray the necessary expenditure would seem a rather lame and impotent conclusion of the struggle for nation ality. Something, however, may be achieved by a union, however temporary. Every member must contribute his subscription on joining the new associa tion. A considerable fund may thus be realised ; the empty exchequer will be replenished, and the real sinews of war once more be forthcoming. It is not quite so easy to understand the reasons which have induced the war party, those who pine for the honours of martyrdom, who are compelled to take pledges from each other, that no opportunity should be seized on to give to any indi vidual the coveted distinction of being " the next felon," before it fell to his lot in due order of pre cedence, to join with the party they formerly repu diated, and to agree " that legal and constitutional means only should be adopted, and that all violence of expression and suggestions of counsel contrary to law should be excluded." Perhaps, however, a sufficient motive may be discovered why these fiery spirit s should for a time abandon their fierce defiance of the law and of the authorities. If a professed duellist should assume a garb of sober drab, and desire to be admitted into the Society of Friends when en- I gaged in a quarrel which should be brought to a mortal arbitre meat if be retained his former opinions, it might be considered that he was influ i enced as much by considerations for his personal safety as by conscientious convictions in favour of his new doctrines. So it is with the Young Irelanders. They have committed themselves too deeply to withdraw from the conflict which they have themselves provoked. They see that the Go vernment is firm, and that every violator of the law will be brought to condign punishment; that sedie tious language can no longer be indulged in with impunity. The fate of their former coadjutor warns them from an insane perseverance in the perilous way on which they bad entered. However agreeable it may be to bluster and stimulate the populace to open insurrection, it be comes rather serious when the hulk or the transport may follow as the result of their eloquence ; they, therefore, can now perceive the necessity fir an lin : mediate union between all classes and sections of repealers ; and at the moment when their rivals were failing from want of pecuniary resources, they don the sober drab of the moral force repealers, and of course will be bound by their compact to refrain from any acts, or any language, which may bring them * " Report of the Proceedings of the Committee ap pointed to oppose the Erection of the London Fever Hospital, in the Liverpool-road, Islington," pp. 24.

We can, besides, assure the public that precautions have been taken by the company to prevent any interruption to the service of the line under any circumstances." The Moniteur publishes the acceptance by the Minister of the resignation, by M. JULES FAVRE, of the office of Under. Secretary:of State. This seems to give a sort of contradiction to the rumour that the members of the Executive Committee had resigned. "Those who have resigned," says the Constitutionnel, "do not accept resignations." It is, however, understood that, had M. Cr ARNIER PAGES been de feated in his motion for giving precedency to the railway debate, which was only carried by 387 to 362, he would have resigned, and that his resignation would have been followed by that of all the members of the Government. General PERROT has been appointed to command at Vincenne.:. There are already inscribed the names of 130,000 ouvriers anxious to attend the banquet on Sunday. General PERROT has, it is said, warned all persons occupying houses within range of the guns of Vincennes to be prepared to quit them at a mo ment's notice. • _ _ _ A telegraphic dispatch has been received, an nouncing the outbreak of a legitimist insurrection at Perpignan, and the proclamation of HENRY V. The Prince DE JOINVILLE and the Duc D'AUIIALE are both concealed in Paris. The police are engaged in endeavouring to discover their retreat. Prince Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE has been re turned for the department of the Yonne. M. DitouiN DE Lnurs is to be appointed Under- Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs, in place of M. JULES PAYEE. The Committee on Finance have received a de tailed account of the receipts during the months of March and April. In March there is a falling-off of 14,238,000 f. over the corresponding period of 1847, affecting principally the import duties, which are lower by 6,451,000 f. ; the registration dues are 3,487,000 f. lower, and the stamp duties 1,310,000 f. The difference for the month of April is, as we mentioned some days back, 17,230,000 f. ; the falling•off in the Customs for im ports being 7,385,000 f., in the registration dues 4,894,000 f., and in the stamp duties 1,389,000 f. The Committee heard the report of MORTIMER TERNAUX on potable liquors, in which several changes are proposed. The duties on potable liquors before the decree of March 31, brought in 42,000,000 f., but now will produce only 32,000,000 f.; neverthe less, it has been received with the greatest disfavour in the departments, as it divides amongst 2,500,000 wine-growers the charge which formerly weighed on 350,000 wine-sellers, rendering it impossible for the growers to sell their wines, at the moment when the land-tax is doubled. The Committee on Labour has heard the report of M. PASCAL DUPRAT on several projects, sent in with a view to raise public credit—such as a Banque Hypothecaire ; the issue of notes by the State to land proprietors at a low rate of interest; the establish ment of a bank in each department, to perform the duty of receivers-general for nothing, and discount bills at a small charge; and the issue of two milliards of notes on the guarantee of national property. The report states that the principal point in all these plans is to relieve public credit ; and the next, to issue paper money, to replace specie in commercial trans actions. The Committee on Public Works, in its meeting of yesterday, adopted the following resolutions :- 1. That all railways shall be purchased by the Go vernment, and become the property of the State. 2. That the purchase shall be made by giving the shareholders renter on the State. 3. That the com panies, on being purchased, shall be dissolved, and that each shareholder be called upon individually to accept or refuse the proposition of the Government. 4. That the shareholders refusing shall be required to refer their claims to the arbitration of a Committee, to the nomination of which they will be called upon to consent. It will be seen from this that the report of the Committee of Public Works is in direct opposition to that of the Committee on the Finances. Some attempts at disorder having been manifested in several brigades of the national workshops, M. LALANNE, on Tuesday, issued an order, dissolving the brigade of carpenters employed in the interior of the Palais National. The brigade, previously em ployed on the outer boulevards, between the barriers of Ivry and La Gare, is also dissolved. The head of this brigade has been struck off the lists of the eational workshops. The men of the dissolved bri gades who can produce certificates of good conduct, and who took no part in the disorders which rendered the dissolution necessary, will be re-admitted as mem b e rs of the Ateliers Nationaux. The Prefect of Police has issued a proclamation, which speaks in strong terms against the acts of certain journeymen bakers, who have been of late attempting to impose illegal conditions on the masters. The Prefect declares that all such attempts shall, for the future, be most severely punished. The National Assembly met yesterday, and was engaged in discussing the measure for the prevention of armed assemblages, presented to it by the Execu tive Committee, which appeared in The Sun of yes. terday. The discussion, which was very animated, had not concluded when the post left; but many of the articles of the proposed measure had been agreed to, and there was little doubt but that it would be carried- BOURSE--PARIS, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7. THREE o'CLOCIK.—The Bourse was firmer to-day than it has been for a long time. Thera is a considerable rise in Railway Shares and in Foreign Funds, and the French Rentes remain as yesterday. The recent news from Italy, and the belief that the French Government would not persist in the scheme for the spoliation of the rail way shareholders, was the principal cause of the im provement. The turn taken by the debate in the House of Commons on the Spanish question has had a good eff'ect. It was reported that M. Duclerc, the Minister of Finances, was about to retire. The divi dend was taken of the Three per Cent. Rentes. For the account the French Three per Cents. are the same as yesterday. Five per Cents. are also without any change. For money, the Three per Cents. and Five per Cents. are also as yesterday; Bons du Tre3or are at 23 discount; Bank of France Shares have risen 351.; Belgian Bank Shares remain at 700; Belgian Two-and a-Half per Cents. are not quoted; Spanish Actives not quoted; Roman has_yisen per cent.; • Rothschild's ReCeipts have risen per cent.

[We have great pleasure in at last laying before our readers a translation, carefully revised by our selves, of the splendid oration recently delivered to the Romans by the renowned VINCENZO GIOBERTI. It will be read, we are certain, with peculiar atten tion, and especially at the present moment, when the triumph cf the cause of Italian independence appears to be secured by the victory achieved at the bridge of Goito by the Piedmontese, under King CARLO AL BERTO. It may not be uninteresting to men tion some of the most striking incidents in the life of VINCENZO GIOBERTI—a great orator—a great patriot—a great historian—and a great re former. A priest and an innovator like SAVONAROLA, GIOBERTI is, nevertheless, regarded in a very different light in the Eternal City ; he is net viewed as a schismatic by the PONTIFF, neither is he scouted as heretical by the Propaganda. Deprived of his pro fessor's chair at Turin several years ago through the influence of the Jesuits, GIOBERTI settled at Brussels, and from the obscurity of his remote study in Bel gium moved the whole heart of his fatherland by the eloquence and passion of his writings. his genius became one of the glories of Italy, and his books awoke the admiration of his fellow-countrymen from the first volume, entitled " Prolegomena," down to the last called "Gesuita Moderno." Admired by the liberal Monarch of Sardinia, GIOBERTI received from him a noble solace for the miseries of his expatriation in the offer of a pension of 3,000 francs. The patriotic priest would, however, only consent to receive this tribute of friendship and homage on the condition that the pension should be appropriated to the support of a hospital in his native place. This beautiful incident is one which redounds to the honour of VIN CENZO GIOBERTI'S heart. Here is a description of his personal appearance from the pen of one who has seen him recently. " His appearance," says the writer, "is not distingue. He is forty-five; dresses in a plain black suit without canonicals ; he is stout built, of middle size, bull-headed, the forehead con veying the intimation of power and determination ; hut I do not fancy the expression of his eyes:' Howl:wit though the expression of his eyes may be a matter of taste, the vigour of his genius as an orator is undeniable. GIOBERTI is now the rage in Rome. He is the friend of CICCEROACIIIO, the Roman Tribune, and the panegyrist of Pio Nozio, the Pontiff Liberator.—ELF. Sun.] VINCENZO GIOBERTI 7 10 THE ROMANS. " ROMANS, -When any one comes for the first time among you, and looks with admiration on your city, the power of his words weakens in proportion to his want of language. The sublime produces admira tion, and admiration begets astonishment, which cannot properly be expressed, since the rough arts of speech are incapable of eliciting from the understanding the ideas which naturally emanate from it. In Rome, now, all is sublime ; it is a city unique, and sprung forth from Heaven to ratify its works with the seal of grandeur- She is almost, as it were, the mirror or the microcosm of centuries, and the living image of the various progresses through which the human kind has passed—progresses, which elsewhere divided by place and time, are here collected together, and harmonised. Here the wonderful re mains of antiquity are combined with the rnonument• of subsequent ages, and represent by contiguity of space the connexion they had with each other in the succession of time. By this means the spirit is car ried without interruption from the one to the other, and sees, if I may so speak, the Christian civilization springing up from the rottenness of Paganism. The extended, solitary, and silent tract of land* which surrounds the Holy City, increases the sublimity o the spectacle, forming, as it were, an area propor tioned to the majesty of the sanctuary. It is thus proved in the end a dreadful despotism. The French empire ingrafting a false love of religion u pon a boundless cupidity, was an egregious act of hypo crisy and of civil imposture. Thence the n e ' v Charlemagne, instead of bestowing on the Pontiff ..s Benefactor the protection promised to hi m, became i most . cruel persecutor, and not even satisfied with unjustifiablethis proceeding he presume d (supreme in adn ess !) that Rome, the head of Italy a nd the Queen of the world, could descend to the rank of a French municipality. The new Italian kingdom will devotion,rclarcl the Holy City with frien dshi p , with and with respect, and the lin ea g e ,A .11 the person of the Royal Founder and a, be the guarantee of its piety. The immaculate faith of the House of Savoy nieeti with few rivals among the r ei g nin g dynasties, and the Prince who in our days wields its sceptre adds to the virtues of a hero and the wisdom of a re' former, the piety and zeal of a so n devoted to the' Cnurch. Who does not see then that if it was the lot of one Pius' to lament his having yielded to the de• manes of BONAPARTE to found a foreign and Vs ° nical empire, it is the lot of anoth er Pius, by proclann • ing . the Italian kingdom, to rej oice in his work, AO' i f to receive the blessings of co ntem p oraries and s posterity.

She is the antique and Eternal City which preceded, which prepared, which produced the modern world, and which couples with the inheritance of the past the possession of the future. By this means she becomes the natural confluence of the antagonistic privileges of a venerable antiquity, reinvigorated by an immortal youth. " The idea of Rome rises still more in our admiration if, from the beauties of her prospect (unique and un• rivalled in their own nature), the imagination is ex alted by the reflection of her spiritual destinies, and of the moral responsibility which has been imposed upon her by PROVIDENCE. She is, in fact, the principle of the new covenant which GOD made with men, the centre of that religious society which was destined to comprehend the whole earth, and the maternal city of the regenerated for tunes of Italy. it is within her walls that dwells an adored Porrirr, who►n our progenitors did not even dare to wish for, and whom it is our glory to possess. What language or what eloquence is adequate to enumerate so many wonders ? Roman people ! who receive with so much love an exile come to visit and admire you, help me, I beseech you, to express what I feel, or rather to strengthen the weak ness of my words with that deep understanding which you derive from your ancestors, from those men who taught the world all the schools of eloquence. Re. turned to this country after an absence of three lus trums, I have already traversed several provinces, and I have thus been enabled to know in what high degree each of them, in its own peculiar and admirable manner, co-operates in our regeneration. The special task of Rome for this universal enterprise con sists in religion, which, as a creative and perfective power, has a double duty to fulfil—viz., the duty of beginning an undertaking, and the duty of achieving it. No civil or moral ordinance can last and flourish unless religion forms the foundation and the whole of the edifice. Italy lay prostrate for a long while, and although snore than once she attempted to rise, it was in vain, because the combinations of the promoters of her redemption did not emanate from the creative city. Consequently, when the hour predestined in heaven for the great regeneration arrived, GOD raised up a Pontiff-Liberator, and it was his will that the first cry should come forth from Rome and begin the miracle of rege neration. From this commencement originated the pious and meek character of the Italian movement, which far from being stained with violence, impiety, and blood, like the revolutions of other countries, was in every sense holy and Christian, and having sprung forth from Rome, it was not an imitation of foreigners, but was moulded by the Italian genius. It is then unique in history, and as it had no precedent, it will become itself a prototype. "It now remains for Rome to put the last seal to the heroic work, in a manner adequate to its com mencement. Our regeneration originated from re forms, proceeded with liberal institutions, and will end with the independence and the union of the Peninsula. Union is the head and the aim of this universal movement, because unity is the ultimate result and the supreme perfection of created things. But union cannot be had without religion, since in the same manner as there are no lawful nuptials with out a sacred ritual, so the alliances which are the nuptials and the rituals of the people cannot take place without the consecration of the Temple and the ministers of the altar—so that that may be ratified in heaven which is begun on earth. Two solemn acts of union are being prepared in Italy under the divine auspices of Rome and her PONTIFF. The one is the conjunction of the Venetian-Lombards with the Ligurian-Subalpines and the formation of an Italian kingdom capable o f embracing the great Eridanic valley, and of binding together all the northern parts of the Peninsula. The other is the political league of the various Italian dosninions, firmly repre sented by a Diet. Rome must be a party in b o th these acts, and become their supreme and sacred ra tificator. A holy Pontiff in the beginning of this century crossed the Alps, and went to France to crown a man to whose unlimited ambition all the world yielded. But how different, both for sanctity and justice, to the French empire will be the new Italian kingdom ! The latter will be a national work entirely ours; the former was a dynastic expedient, and in some measure a foreign usurpation. The one will be the result, the instrument, and the guard of free regulations ; the other received the first impetus from an excessive thirst for power, and Al 0 113 * Pius VI I. er f The provinces o f Bologna, Ravenna, Urbino.

Parliament may have innumerable excuses for its apathy in every other description of reforms except. ing in reforms of a sanitary character. In regard to those there does not remain one extenuating circum stance as far as the indolence or procrastination of . the Legislature is concerned. What with the elaborate quarterly returns of the Registrar-General, returns which are powerful in the eloquence of their statis. tics ; what with the extended and reiterated reports of the Commissioners at Gwydyr House ; what with the earnest and repeated discussions both within and without the walls of the Senate-houses of `Westmin ster; what with the multitude of facts lavished upon the public attention through the medium of speeches, pamphlets, broadsheets, letters, and n ewspapers—the necessity of some immediate and comprehensive innovation in reference to the social organiza tion of England has been thoroughly hammered into the knowledge of the Government. If the Go vernment were not convinced of the urgency of this necessity, its dullness would be incorrigible beyond all description. And being convinced of the neces sity there is no excuse whatever—not the faintest, not the most shadowy—for the protracted indifference of the Cabinet, of the Lords, and of the Commons. Second among fhe orders of the day for this even ing is the Public Health Bill. Second—let the Members bear that in recollection, and not allow the matter to be again postponed, as it has already been a thousand times. Let every attention, on the con trary, be afforded to a question of such profound im portance to the cennnunity. Although Leade n is excluded from all participation in the benefits resulting from the measure, we shall never cease to demand some sanitary interference for the metropolis until the innumerable abuses which tend to increase the mortality of its inhabitants shall have been permanently eradicated. Nor can we conceive that this particular pertinacity o❑ our part is calculated in any manner to embarrass the move ment in regard to the provincial efforts at ameliora tion. And we are induced to dilate upon the sani tary wants of London only the more earnestly from the very circumstance of its exclusion from the advantages which must inevitably accrue to the provinces from the operation o f the Bill introduced to the Lower House by Lord Mortrrrir.

Mr. Meagher was brought up in charge of Police-ser geant 147 C, for having assaulted that officer in the exe cution of his duty. After a brief hearing, The MAGISTRATE sentenced Mr. Meagher to pay a fine of 5/., or stand committed to prison for two months. The fine was immediately paid, and Mr. Meagher left in a covered car, amidst loud cheering from the crowd assembled in front of the police-office. Mr. John Byrne was then placed at the bar, charged with having attempted to rescue Air. Meagher, and also for an assault upon Police constable 194 V, who was the complainant in this case. Al ter a short examingtion, The MAGISTRATE inflicted a fine of Si. upon the de fendant, or two rcontl.' imprisonment. The fine was paid. Several other persons wer e fined for the same offence. A subscription was imme diatel y got up amongst the barrister s , solicitors, and clerks in the hall of the Four Courts, and in less than five minutes the sum of ten pounds was raised, that being the amount of the fines inflicted upon Messrs. Meagher and Byrne. Punnust FUNDS, JUNE 7.—Three per Cent. Consols, 82 4; Three-and-a Quarter per Cent. Stock, 834 to i. CLOSING OF THE TRANSFER.

The Espana publishes a paper drawn up by Major PORTAL, the leader of the Seville insurrection, dated Beja, 22d ult., and signed by various other officers of the insurgent force. It accuses the Seville Liberals of having been wanting to their promises, and sits s that the rising of the troops was in order to execute a plan agreed upon with a committee of the inhabi tants, who had pledged themselves to rise, and that a body of 400 armed citizens were to have seized and imprisoned the authorities ; but that not one of them came forward. He claims the victory in the affair between a portion of his forces and those of SIIELLY at San Lucar, and says he remained three days near Huelva ; but finding the movement not supported as he had expected, he and the other officers resolved to march into Portugal, which they did in perfect order.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Mayor of Paris has published a notice that the declaration of the poll for the Paris elections will be made on Thursday morning (this day), at eight o'clock. The lists had been made up in the majority of the arrondissements,:and the following are in all probability the successful candidates :—General Changarnier, Goudchaux, Thiers, Achille Fould, the banker, Horace Say, Caussidiere, Victor Hugo, Emile de Girardin, Hyppolite Passy, and Moreau. There may perhaps be some alte rations to be made in this list, as in some of the arrondissements Prince Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has a considerable majority, and in others Pierre Leroux, Proudhon, and the Socialist can didates have a small majority. At Rouen Layer, T biers, and Charles Dupin are at the head of the poll. Emile de Girardin is also returned for Rouen. M. Thiers has also been returned for L'Orne, sad there is every probability of his being returned for the Bouches du Rhone and for Algeria. The intrigues of the Legitimatists and the Orlean ists still continue, but we have no doubt but that the officers of the republic will know how to deal with the intriguers. It is said, that of these intrigues M. GUIZOT is the soul, that he plans everything, and directs everything from England. If the French Government have proof of the existence of these in trigues on the part of M. GUIZOT, it is their duty to present that proof to the English Government, and to demand that, under the provisions of the recently passed Alien Act, M. GUIZOT should be deported from England—a demand with which the English Government would, no doubt, comply should the proofs be complete, and in a compliance with which they would be upheld by the people of England, who will never permit this country to be made an asylum for those, who abuse its hospitality. It is said that the Executive Committee have offered the post of Minister of Justice to M. BETH.. moisr, who has accepted it on condition that M. M. PORTA.LIS and LANDRIN shall be reappointed the law officers of the Republic. The cheap banquet of the ourriers, proposed to be held at Vincennes, has been postponed to the 11th. By that time the Ateliers Nationaux will be broken up, and the workmen there will, it is expected, join the demonstration. Consi derable alarm has been excited by the announcement of this banquet, and the Castle of Vincennes has been put in such a state of defence as to secure it from all risk of being carried by a coup de main. On this subject the Constitutionne/ has the following re marks : " What is all this but agitation under a new form, and at a period when agitation is our greatcst bane? A banquet of 50,000 persons is an army. There is the going to it and the returning, which necessarily causes immense precessions. The guests, animated with the most perfect devotedness to public order, say en setting out where they wish to go, and what they will do, but it may be boldly said that they know neither the one nor the other. Such an agglomeration of men has no power over itself; it obeys a law of sympathetic cohe sion, which, binding all pans one to the other, march in whatever direction it may be guided by some bold leader. This is the invariable tactic pursued by anar chists when they organise manifestations, and it is thus they mislead the good sense of the masses. To these chiefs of anarchy what is necessary is a crowd. The act of recruiting for it consists in making an appeal to the citizens, and particularly to the working classes, in the name of an opinion, or of an interest which concerns them. If they cannot find sufficient numbers rally in the same cause, they propose one thing to one part and another thing to another. The elements of which the assemblage is com posed may be various, and they may have opposite ten dencies, but that is of no consequence, they corm a great body. There are precautions to take to isolate one from the other groups actuated by different intentions. These precautions taken, the organisers of the manifestation will place at their head men belonging to themselves ; they will themselves appear at the last moment, and, welcomed by their adherents, they proceed to the Government as the interpreters of the wishes of all who follow them, whilst, in reality, they only express their own personal opinion, or that of their own small faction. " This is the history of all the manifestations which we have seen since the 24th of February. On the 17th of March the workmen had been called toge ther under the pretence of protesting against an alleged re-actionary manifestion of the National Guard, and to present a testimony of patriotic devoted ness to the Republic and to the Provisional Govern ment. One hundred thousand citizens assembled to give force to the Government I What was the conduct of those who placed themselves at their head? They wished to compel by violence the resolutions of the Government in the name of that army of the people who came to offer it their support. "On the 16th of April the workmen were called to gether in the Champ de Mars, under the pretence of the elections. They were marched towards the Hotel de Ville, with the apparent object of placing a patriotic offering on the altar of the country. God knows what a fate the head of the column had reserved for the Provisional Government, whom they considered they had in their power, if on that day the National Guard had not suppressed the movement by the sole weight of their innumerable and immovable masses. " On the 15th May it was in the name of Poland that the patriotism of an immense number of citizens was de ceived. The head of the column, which at all those manifestations is always well organised, penetrated into the chamber; when there the question of Poland was no longer thought of, but the cry was of the blood shed at ilouen by the bourgeoisie—the tax of a milliard on the rich, and the senseless but criminal idea of dissolving the National Assembly. " These are examples which we think it well to point out to all good citizens whe may be disposed to take part in the ten sous banquet. They may entertain the innocent idea of fraternising in a frugal repast. But there will be 900 tables, and 50,000 guests ; and the place of meeting is at St. Mande, near Vincen nes ; the organisers of the banquet are the plagiarists who daily cry the anger of Pere Duchene in the streets ; the members of the club of Egalite et Fraternite yesterday promenaded in the quartier St. Martin, crying ' Viva Bathes.' These are sinister preludes. \Ve therefore invite the friends of order to reflect well on all these circumstances before engaging themselves in this banquet du campagne, or rather in this campagne du banquet, and if they still persist in taking part in it, we recommend them to watch carefully, and with great sus picion the head of the column, and to notice the direc tion they will take on the return. It will be well for them to do this, for no one can say where they may be led, or rather whither they may not be led." Notwithstanding the proclamation of the Mayor of Paris, numerous meetings continue to be held every night on the Boulevards. The Debats thus describes the state of Paris on Tuesday night : " Considerable crowds of persons were last evening assembled o❑ the Boulevards. The Porte Sr. Martin and the Porte St. Denis were as usual the points where the masses were the most compact. The par tially known result of the election, the decree against tumultuous assemblages, and the reported re.- rignation of some members of the Executive Com mittee, where the texts taken hold of by the numerous orators, in order to promote agitation. At nine o'clock the crowd became very dense, and all the shops in the neighbourhood were closed, and the armed force soon atter showed itself. Some battalions of the National Guard, of the line, and of the Garde Mobile, took u posisions at the ends of the streets leading on to the Boulevards. Their presence not serving to tree the cir culation of the street:.;, each battalion formed in platoons, marched at double quick time, with drums beating, along the whole Boulevards, and between the Rua Pois soniere and the Porte S. Martin. The crowd dispersed but after the troops had passed returned to the same points, but the greater part of those who were attracted solely by curiosity effected their retreat on hearing the drums beat. About half-past eleven the crowds ap peared to decrease. No casualty of any kind took place." The Moniteur du 'fair contains the following GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. The grand procession to the graves of the heroes of March took place at Berlin on the 4th. This procession was intended as a manifestation against the reactionary propositions of certain aristocratic and provincial Members of the Assembly, and a Most imposing demonstration it proved to be. About two o'clock processions began to form, and proceeded by different routes to the point of assem bling—the Gendarmen-platz; from thence the pro cession set out for the Frederich's-hain, through the Konigs•strasse, and across the Alexander-platz. The whole line of the procession was through a double rank of spectators, though, beyond a few banners of the German tricolour and flags of the different trades, there was but little parade of decoration. The procession could not have been less than three miles in length. No arms of any kind were carried. There was neither excitement nor clamour, and the train moved along as silently as if it were really fol lowing the dead ; frequently not a sound was to be heard but the measured tread of hundreds of feet. The burial-place of the slain is an open field on a slightly rising ground to the left of the Landsberger road, just without the Landsberger-gate. As the bands that marched in the procession came in sight of the spot they played a funeral march, and one sec tion of the line sang a hymn. It was nearly six o'clock before the rear of the line reached the open ground around the graves. Hero they were addressed by several speakers. From the appearance of the majority of those forming the procession, it was evident nothing in the shape of violence was in tended. The Prcuissische Staats Anzeiger of the sth pub lishes the following letter from the Prince of PRUSSIA to his royal brother : " I respectfully inform your Majesty that, conform ably with the order communicated to me, I have left London, and again arrived on the Continent. I hold this period to be the most suitable one for openly ex pressing anew the sentiments with which I return home—sentiments which are already known to your Majesty. "I fully entertain the hope that the free insti tutions, for the formal establishing of which your Ma jesty has now convoked the representatives of the peo ple, will, with God's gracious assistance, be developed more and more for the prosperity of Prussia. Confi dently and loyally I shall devote all my power to the furtherance of that development; and J anticipate the moment when I shall acknowledge the constitution which your Majesty is on the point of drawing up in conjunction, after con,cientious examination, with your peepl(4—an acknowledgment which will render the con stitutional charter binding on the successor to the throne. " Brussels, May, 30, 1848. (Signed) " PRINCE OF PRUSSIA." DENMARK. According to advices, dated 3d inst., two Danish battalions have surrendered to the Prussians, and a Danish corps d'armee of 6,000 men was completely hemmed in by the Confederate troops. TRIESTE. The Neapolitan and Sardinian fleet had not re appeared in the roads of Trieste up to the 30th of May. BOHEMIA. A Provisional Government has been established in Bohemia, and a Sclavonic Congress convoked at Prague. "Let not (says the Cologne Gazette) the importance of these facts be overlooked ! The fatal hour for the dissolution of Austria, as it has hitherto been constituted, has irrevocably struck. It must become Sclavisch, or it must cease to exist. To prevent the former, to prevent German lands from being under the sway of hostile tribes, Germany and Hungary must unite. No one can say that in a very short time province will not be up in arms against province, and man against man." The Cologne Gazette further says : "To appreciate these events, it is necessary to recall certain facts. When the Bohemian deputation waited upon Archduke John of Austria, at Innspruck, his part ing words were, 'lam a Bohemian prince.' The Empe ror himself dismissed the deputation with the words Take our greeting to our good city of Prague, and say that it will give us pleasure to pay it a right early and a long visit.' The consort of the Archduke Franz Carl was dressed in the national colours of the Czechs ; and finally, 'the counsel of Count Thun (now President of the Provincial Government of Bohemia) found a ready ear. _ _ " On the 26th and 27th May barricades, rose in the streets of Vienna ; on the 29th, Bohemia declared her independence from German Austria ; and on the 300), a Selavonic Congress is opened at Prague." The usually quiet streets of Prague are thronged with deputies and deputations, and the jaunty colours of the Hungarians, Bohemians, Croats, and other nu merous tribes, each speaking a different dialect, mingle gaily together. A letter from Prague describes the scene as most animated ; but who, it adds, can say that they will not soon have drawn swords in their hands? The same letter says:— "The programme of the Central Committee of the Congress has appeared, and allows us to cast a glance into the tendencies of that assembly. The first clause points out the necessity of a league, defensive and offensive, between all Sclaves. It is only by a people's league, by the constitution of Austria to a confederate state (Bunder staate) that she can re-acquire her lost strength. By the free union of tribes, constitutional liberty and hal lowed nationality would be guaranteed, as on the other hand additional splendour would accrue to the Imperial Crown, even should a portion of the empire be lost. The second clause discusses the bases of this VoMsbund or people's league. The key-stone, as it were, is the preservation of every distinct nationality. A people's diet is proposed to be held, oven at Vienna, where each nationality would be duly represented. The Mag ' yars of Hungary are called upon to put aside all their own internal dissensions. After expressing sympathy with the Slavonic tribes without the Austrian dominions, namely, the Poles and the Sclaves in Turkey, clause the third urges a literary intercourse between all Sclavonic races. Clause 4 treats of the position of the Sclaves in the German Parliament. They never will allow Austria to occupy a subordinate position under another Power. Between the Emperor and the Aus trian people there shall be no other organ than their own Parliaments. ' The Sclaves never will recognias the decrees of the Frankfort Diet as binding.' Clause 5 proposes that a deputation shall wait upon his Ma jesty the Emperor, to inform him of the resolutions of Ithe Sclavonic Congress." ITALY. LOMBARDY. The Turin papers, of the 3d, state that after the battle of Goito the German troops remained in obser vation on the right of the Alincio, near Mantua ; that no attack took place; and that all the enemy's forces were concentrated at Mantua. Colonel FELLEMBERG, an Austrian, who had gone to Milan to assist in the late re-actionary movement in that city, has been arrested. The Prince EUGENE of Savoy, Lieutenant-General of Piedmont, has issued an ordonnance for the annex ation of Piacenza, in which he makes certain de crees as to the laws, the liberty of the press, and the customs. NAPLES. A letter from Toulon, of the 31st May, says " We arrived at Toulon, after having called off Naples, where Admiral BAUM/4 put on board us the famous ROMEO and his two sons, and two Neapo litan deputies, whom we landeded yesterday at Civita Vecchia. They intended to go to Calabria, which is in full insurrection. This we learned at Pizzo ; we saw everywhere the royal troops disarmed, and the inhabitants ready to march on the capital. On the day of our departure from Messina 1,500 Sicilians passed the Strait, with ten pieces of cannon, to assist their brothers of Calabria." SICILY. The Patria of the 31st May announces that the citadel of Messina is in the hands of the people. LIVERPOOL, MANCHESTER, AND NEWCASTLE RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A special meeting of this company was held to day at twelve o'clock, at the Loudon Tavern; Mr. Wilson Ffrance in the chair. The only business tran . ,acted was the approval by the shar,hold , :rs of a Bill for the dissolution of the company, and the increase of the number of directors to sixteen, in order to carry out the business incidental to the wind ing up of the affairs of the concern, all of whom were formally empowered to act in ccincert for that purpose. According to the Bill, no further calls will be male ex cept for the purposes above•mentioned, and no further liabilities will be incurred by the directors. The seal of the company was affixed to the Bill, and thanks having been voted to the Chairman and directors, the meeting separated. ENORMOUS SALMON.—A salmon, upwards of 321 b., was captured at Newburgh on Friday morning. It was acknowledged to be the finest caught in the Tay for many years.
