LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 114$. Never has a constitution been fabricated with such marvellous rapidity as that which was definiti ve l y acoepted on Saturday last, the fourth day of Novem ber, 1848, by the National Assembly of the French Republic. Out of the aggregate number of 900 re presentatives, there were present on this memorable occasion no less than 769, an extraordinary attend ance, when the protracted labours of the session, the indisposition prevalent during the autumnal season, the banishment of some individuals and the tem porary vacation of others, are taken into consider ation. The absolute majority required on the division was 385 ; hut, it will be perceived from our foreign correspondence, that this majority was exceeded by 324—the pros being 739, the contras being 30, and, the entire mijority being consequently 709 unani mous voter:. An occurrence so remarkable justified M. DurAuRE, the Minister of the Interior, in de manding its celebration by some novel and magnifi cent ceremon-y expressive of the national satisfaction. It is one of those events which mark the epochs of civilization, and one so vast and astounding in its dimensions, that its extent cannot be comprehended, nor its symmetry appreciated when viewed so closely af4Fikkntt necessarily be by contemporaries. It re tits adequate comprehension and apprecia tio4 the pferTective of half a century. At present France is overshadowed by the mere pedestal. When t N. A `THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 6, 1848. a sufficient interval has elapsed—when the republican generations have marched onwards in the footsteps of their respective predecessors—when the posterity of the Revolutionists of February shall pause in the serenity of the ripened harvests and mellowed vintages of Democracy, and, looking backwards to the day when the Republican Constitution was accepted by the first French Legislature ever elected by Universal Suf frage, they behold the colossal creation of the Na tional Assembly, they will be better able than ourselves to distinguish the grandeur of its proportions, the dig nity of its aspect, and the sublimity of its attitude. When Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH, with that purely historic and exquisitely perceptive wisdom which con stituted the very texture of his noble and philosophic character, laid it down as an incontrovertible axiom that constitutions are not made, but grew, he spoke exclusively in reference to the gra duation perceptible in the progress of know ledge from ignorance, and the general unfolding of the principles of civilization.. He by no means in tended to imply that Liberty was incompatible with the maintenance of Order until the several peoples of the earth bad passed through probationary stages of government, such for example as those England has been destined for many successive centuries to endure. To assert so mueh would be as ridiculous as to de clare that the aborigines of Australia would have to pass successively, generation after generation, through the glooms of idolatry, and infidelity, and demon worship, through the ghastly shadows of ' Bhuddism, through the sensual and ravishing magnificence of the classic mythology, through the misty lore, and the dismal cirques, and the lonely cromlechs, and under the forest oaks, and among the rustling mistletoes of the Druidical belief, through the temples of Thor and Odin, of Juggernaut and Osiris, of Brahma and Jupiter, before the mind of the savage would be fitted to receive the beneficent truth of the ONE GOD, and the divine consolations afforded by the doctrines of Christianity. Where it cor rect to assert that no nation can receive with safety to itself or advantage to its neighbours a free and (as far as human nature will admit of it) a perfected constitution without preparing itself for that inestimable boon by long centuries of prepara tion, it would be equally correct to declare that the population of an Oriental empire should be instructed alone in the lonic schools of philosophy, the next generation in the Eleatic schools of metaphysics, and so on through the systems of ANAXIMANDIIR and PYTHAGORAS, Of lIERACLITUS and EMPEDOCLES, Of PROTAGORAS and PLATO, until in some remote century the descendants of such men as DWARKANAUTH TA GORE might be fitted to understand the celestial revelations of NEWTON, and the inductive system contrived by the immortal BACON. No : were such an erroneous construction placed upon the beautiful axiom of MACKINTOSH, we should be compelled to regard him as -the advocate of a sluggish advance ment in knowledge and civilization, a notion wholly incompatible with every other phase of his philosophy. The experience of others adequately regarded imparts to extreme youth all the advantages of antiquity. And it is this which enables a country like France, young, comparatively speaking, in her knowledge of political freedom, to avail herself of the venerable experience of England, and to establish upon a kin dred basis a free and generous constitution. In symbols they are different, it is true, the one being Republican and the other Monarchical, but in nature, in vitality, in the vastness of their basis they are identical. It is folly to regard the fabric of the French Republican Constitution as built up upon a foundation of sand, that foundation being, in truth, as solid and durable as our own. Our Constitution is based on national experiences, while the new Con stitution of France has been constructed upon the experiences of the whole world, the stones of the great edifice being cemented together by the sweat of the national agony and the blood of its prolonged misfortunes. The Lords of the Admiralty have at length shaken off a portion of the official trammels by which they have hitherto been fettered and restrained. For once they have decided upon a case according to its own intrinsic merits, without being guided or in fluenced by precedent, and they deserve the thanks of every Englishman for the decision at which they have arrived—a decision which strikes at the very root of one of the most unwiso and impolitic usages that had been suffered to prevail in the management and direction of the British navy. During the last month (on the 21st ultimo) we remonstrated, in the strongest terms, upon the fully of paying off no less than seven vessels of war, mounting in the whole 136 guns, and manned by no less than 1,330 seamen, all of whom, although in the highest state of discipline and efficiency, were c ast loose upon the world, to be plundered by the hordes of miscreants who infest onr ports of their hard earnings, and then suffered to starve about the streets, or to oiler their valuable services to other nations by whom their merits might be better appreciated than they had been in their native land. It was, however, the custom. Money was so complete a drug, that although the vessel might on the expiration of her appointed time of service be in the sounde.t condition, she should yet be dis mantled, her masts stripped of their rigging, her planks torn up, and a large and most unnecessary expendi ture incurred, and all for no earthly purpose, except, perhaps, to ascertain to what extent JOHN BULL would submit to a system so supremely ridiculous. But the large outlay was by no means the most ob jectionable part of the proceeding. It was not merely the waste of public money, the enormous increase of the naval estimates that formed the only, or even the most serious ground of complaint. It was the discharge, the casting off of men whom no amount of money could replace, in order that repairs, which were wholly unnecessary, might be effected, those who, during three years of active service, had been brought to the highest state of discipline, who were thoroughly acquainted with the various duties they were called upon to perform, who had acquired a love for the "old ship," (for such attachments are by no means rare among seamen), a feeling of respect for their officers and friendship and regard for each other, were I separated and dispersed, and exposed to the ' &moralization that must result from an un controlled association with the depraved wretches, into whose clutches Jack invariably fell when at liberty on shore. It would take many months to repair the mischief thus occasioned even if the men themselves could be obtained at the very moment when the country required their services. The bad habits and vicious inclinations acquired during such a period could not easily be shaken off, and got rid of. The money also which they had earned like horses they would have spent like asses in the inter val, and be deprived of the means of rendering their declining years happy and comfortable from the mis taken and injudicious course pursued by the authori ties, by those who should act towards them as guardians and protectors, and avert temptation by every practicable means. What hope, however, could be entertained of again collecting these valuable men at the required time ? In all human probability they would, after under going many severe privations, when their money had been wasted in profligacy and dissipation, have been compelled to seek for emplOyment under another flag. Our hardy and well-trained sailors would be labouring to sustain the resources and advance the o flung ve power o f our pr i nc i pa l mar i t i me r i va l s, w h o would gladly rece i ve and cherish the precious treasure which with such reckless prodi gality. A hope, o we pe , had hw howeve r , away is wnhoi which opened has r recently n u t s ly th b a e t en d e: hence forth these things will be managed differently. The Superb, 80 guns, e tached from the Mediterranean fleet, is - to prove an e xception to the general rule. Th e Gallant Admiral under whose command she was placed, has, it appears, officially certified that she is in every respect fitted to be again immediately placed in commission with out overhauling, and, it appears, from the naval intelligence, which will be found in another part of our impression, that their Lordships intend t o act thereon, to cast off the usual dockyard perquisite of " repairing " and " refitting " a perfectly sound • and efficient vessel, and, above all, to retain her gal lant crew in the service of their country. The Ro samond steam-sloop, which has just returned from foreign service, is also to be kept in commission. Here then a formidable blow has been struck at the ancient practice—a raost valuable reform has been introduced. We trust that the precedent thus esta blished may prove the general rule—that hencefor ward no vessels will be consigned to the tender mercies of dockyard superintendents to be dismantled and repaired unless some urgent necessity should exist for such a course, and that so long as sailors are required to the protection of our coasts, and sup port the honour of the British flag in every clime and in every ocean, the tried and practised men may not be discharged (save perhaps at their own request, and for sufficient reasons), to be replaced by incompetent landsmen, who cannot act efficiently until they have undergone a long course of training. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. In the sitting of Saturday the debate on the Con stitution was closed, and the Coustitution itself voted by a large majority. The Assembly having voted the last article, a ballot on the whole Constitution took place, which gave the following result : Number of voters ... 769 Absolute majority ... 385 For the Constitution 729 Against it ... 30 This result was hailed with cries of Vive la Repub lique ; Vive la Constitution. The President then declared, in the name of the French people, that the National Constituent Assembly had adopted the Constitution of the French Republic. M. Dufaure, the Minister of the Interior, next as cended the tribune, and stated that the Government was of opinion that this great act should not be promul gated in the ordinary form, but that it should be the oc casion of a national solemnity. He accordingly pro prosed that the Assembly should immediately retire into its bureaux to appoint a committee to regulate, with the Government, the forms of that solemnity. The Assembly acquiesced in the demand, and ad journed amidst new cries of Vice la Republique. The project of M. MATHIEU (de la Drome) to issue 400 millions of paper money, to be receivable by the Government in payment of the taxes, customs, &c., has been rejected by the Committee of Finance, M. LEON FAUCIIER is appointed reporter. M. ACHILLE FOULD, the banker, presented to the Committee of Finances on Saturday the report of the sub-committee on the project for compensating the holders of Treasury bonds and the depositors in the savings' bank for the losses which they sustained under the decrees which compelled them to accept stock at a price higher than that at which it could be sold in the market. The report is in favour of the project. The Moniteur publishes the following circular, addressed by the Minister of the Interior to the Pre fects of departments, on the subject of the election of President of the Republic : " PARIS, Nov. 2.—Monsieur le Prefet, the National Assembly has just fixed the election of President of the Republic for the 10th of December. France is called on for the second time to pronounce on the constitution of one of the great powers of the state. This election will be in all times a grave and solemn proceeding. Charged temporarily to execute the resolutions of the National Assembly, the President of the Republic will exercise considerable influence over the destinies of the country. It is he who by all the branches of the administration is in communication with every right, every interest, in all parts of the territory; he influences the good dispense don of justice by the character and learning of the judges whom he chooses; he disposes of all the armed forces of the Republic; he represents France before other na tions. The choice of the citizen who is to receive this high and difficult magistracy will always be one of the greatest acts of popular sovereignty. In the present time special circumstances give it even greater import ance. The Republic has been established for eight months, but by painful necessity it has injured interests and wounded convictions. It encounters adversaries, who endeavour to create for it embarrassments, enemies who aspire to overthrow it, in order to substitute for it either a violent and demagogical dictatorship, or one of the forms of monarchical government, which during the last fifty years have by turns showed their impuissance to govern the country. All these hostilities will perhaps meet at the ballot which is about to be opened for the election of president. , They will endeavour to place a representative of their subversive ideas in face of the Assembly, which haas so firmly and with such intelli gence founded a Republican Government on the old and respected bases of our social order. In this great strug gle the conduct of the government, to which the National Assembly has temporarily delegated the Executive Go vernment, is clearly traced out. It reduces itself to securing the liberty and purity of the election, to obtain ing the sincere expression of universal suffrage. You have already comprehended that the government is bound to allow every citizen to appreciate in perfect in dependence of mind the merits of the candidates who are proposed to him. Ido not mean to interdict you from voluntary intercourse with those under your administra tion ; but on the contrary, I wish that this intercourse should be frequent, and that you should confer on the true interests of the Republic. It will be easily conceived that its future well-being depends in part upon the citizens who shall first be called to preside over its destinies; that the nation, in the choice it makes, should confide in one whose past life has been without reproach, whose patriotism is incontestable, of a manly and energetic re solution, and of approved services to the Republic, rather than to vain and delusive promises. But whether they may be enlightened or not, convinced or not by your councils, the electors must be left free in their choice. Be cautious of calling in aid of your opinions their in terests, their ambition, their tears, or any of the bed pas sions which may mislead them. -Do not encourage local pretensions, do not talk of unbounded favours, of lighten ing of taxation, of gratifications which no government can afford them. I know that the whole country may legitimately claim material ameliorations. Cause it to be comprehended that the Government is actively occu pied with these things, and that all your declarations may be the expression of a firm and sincere will, without ever becoming one of those means of seduction which are too frequently employed. By abstaining from tilt se manoeuvres, the Government has,fulfilled:only one-half of its task; it must also prevent others from using them. Our laws punish acts of violence or corruption at elections. I intend that these laws shall be firmly executed. You will watch attentively over the proceedings of party, and, if necessary, make a report upon them to the Procureur of the Republic. You will exact from all that respect for the freedom of election which you have youselves expressed. I signalise to you an enemy which you must endeavour to combat—the negligence of the electors. You will cense those whom a fatal indifference may keep from the ballot to understand that they are guilty to wards society and towards themselves. At a time at which a bad election may place in question all that the National Assembly has adopted since six months on be half of order and liberty, expose social order, without de fence, to attacks as formidable as those of the month of June, one cannot understand the quietude and refraining from Toting of those who have the right; they would as sume on themselves the most terrible responsibility, and you must make them feel that. We are about to make a second trial of universal suffrage; let us meet it with con fidence; let us place our hope in the inexhaustible re sources of good sense and patriotism which France pos sesses; let us so act as to obtain the free and enlightened vote of our fellow-citizens. It is impossible that this vote can expose to us the hazards of a new revolution. I will send you, in a few days, instructions on the pre parations of the electoral lists, the holding of the col leges, the investigation of the ballot, and on all the details of execution of the decree of the 28th October. On this occasion my object is only to call on you to reflect on the great political act which France is abourto accomplish, and on the attitude which you must take, in the name of the Government, under the new cir cumstances.—Accept, M. le PlCat, the assurance of my most distinguished consideration. " J. DUFALTRE." The canvass for the Presidency is carried on with great activity. The club of the Rue de Poitiers will oppose the candidature of General CAVAIGNAC, but will not support that of Lours NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, neither will it start a candidate of its own. A pro position made to the Club of the Instit ut to support General CAVAIGNAC, gave rise to a very animated discussion on Saturday, which was postponed to Monday. The majority of the members are in favour of General CATAIGNAC, but GARNIER PAGES and the other members of the old Provisional Go vernment support M. DE LAMARTINE, who is only opposed by the majority because they consider that his chance is not so good as that of General CAVAIGNAC Several of the tradesmen of Paris have applied to the Government to relax the law of lotteries, so as to permit them to dispose of their stock in trade by wa y of raffle. On this subject the Monitair says— " Several booksellers and publishers of the capital, not being able, on account of the difficulty of the times, to find a regular sale for their books, have had the idea to sell them by a lottery, with premiums drawn by lot for the advantage of the subscribers; and they demand the authorisation of the Government for this operation. Similar demands have been submitted to the Minister of the Interior by several other branches of trade. These demands affect public morality, the interests of the working classes, and general questions of political economy. Political morality is interested in the ques tion of lotteries; the influence which operations of this nature, if they became frequent, would not fail to exer cise on the habits of the ; population, must be thought of, precautions are to be taken, great reserve is ne cessary. The working classes demand relief from their too real sufferings; and it is to labour that they ap peal. As regards the resumption of labour, what will be the immediate or distant effects of the means which are proposed? In fine, in the point of view of the general interests of commerce and manufactures, is there not some incon ven i ence i n di sp l ac i ng, b y exce ptional means, a branch certain ef mass productionof capital?witheti t the T o naturalc a It tto the aid n umtpotioenarartytreachteinwgbethreemanthuenretebwyaridtse' of f' cois not perturbation? to ofas risk cal l ich may presenting itself in extraordinary circumstances that mi o Whilst .. autorise exception a l reme di es, the question econ ought to be resolved only aft er a ma t ure ex amination.createdthe Such order is which to be tb the M in ister of the Interior of til eoiitt hasTjhuest issued. " mitoneur contains lon task ar c the e tending mn t e : a show that the commercial and industrial situation of I France is improving. At Paris, it says, confidence is 1 increasing in every branch of business. The different railways find their receipts very considerably in creased, and several establishments for carrying goods lfave been obliged to increase the number of their horses and employes. In the west of France the fairs have of late been well attended, and those of Raillon (Maine et-Loire) famed for the quantity of leather sold there, and of St. Maurice, at [3rissac, are parti cularly mentioned as having been well attended. At Nantes, the several tanneries are becoming more active, and at Chollet the weavers find work becoming abundant. At Rennes and St. Malo work is more plentiful, and there is no apprehension felt for the situation of the working classes during the winter. The workmen of Elbeuf, Roubaix, and St. Quentin are employed; the fabrication of tull is beginning to revive at St. Pierre-les-Calais, as well as the products in mercery at Vervins. In the Nord the Monitezer says, the number of hands, lately unoccupied during one-half or two-thirds of their time, are now not suf ficient for the employment offere 1. From Alsace, the customs-return proves that the cotton manufac ture is advancing; at Lyons, the workmen are begin ning to perceive, the report says, that their real inte rests call on them to work ; the demands from Eng land and the United States have produced higher prices which are now nearly about the same as at this time last year. "At the present time," says the Moniteur, " more than three-fourths of the looms are at work, and everything leads to the idea that busi ness will not stop short in this course of improve ment. A command of twenty thonsand tunics given by Sardinia to three establishments of Lyons, have not a little contributed to the happy impulse given to this commercial revival." The strike of the weavers and spinners has ceased at Grenoble and Vienne, and the workmen have returned to their factories now abundantly supplied with work. In the south, business improves, though not to the same extent; the fairs of Aubenas, Privas, and Rodez, were lately well attended, and cattle, linen, and leather found ready purchasers. In the centre, the cloth manufactures of the department of the Indre are em -1 ploying a considerable number of men. The works on the various railways are giving employment to a vast number of men ; the central line in the depart ' ments of the Cher and the Haute-Vienne; that of Strasbourg; in the Marne, the Haute-Marne, and the Meuse; the Nantes line in the neighbourhood of Angers; the Avignon line, from the Durance to the Petite-Hotesse ; that of Lyons through half of its extent; and, in fine, that from Creil to St. Quentin, throughout almost its whole length, furnish work to a great number of men. The article of the Monitcur then dwells on the extreme cheapness of bread and wine, and declares "that the abundance of the year ha, in no small measure contributed to the present well_ being of the working classes; everything, it says, seems to imply that the winter will pass over more easily than could have been lately hoped for. 'No doubt,' says the article in conclusion, that when France shall have issued from the crisis which was long smouldering :on under a false appearance of prosperity, and the development of which was pre cipitated, but not caused, by the accession of the Republic, national commerce, purified by this cruel trial, will again raise up its head more flourishing and solid than ever.' " According to the Moniteur du Soir, M. TRIERS has publicly declared that he will not take office under Louts NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, should the latter be chosen President of the Republic. Marshal BUGEAUD and General CLIAtioAnNIER have withdrawn from the contest for the Presidency. The following are the Members of the Committee of the Assembly appointed to devise some special solemnity for the consecration of the Constitution : MM. Ducoux, Berger, General Bedeau, Bixio, Tre lat, Jules de Lasteyrie, Arago, Havin, Coquerel, Landrin, Delaporte, Senard, Guuin, Beaumont (de la Somme), and Desgeorges. The passing of the Constitution was announced to the citizens of Paris, at seven o'clock on Saturday evening, by the discharge of 101 guns from the espla nade of the Invalides. The French Government has advertised for tenders for 39,400,000 kilogrammes of coals (about 38,000 tons), for the use of the Post-office steam-packets. The adjudication is to take place on the 20th of Nov. These coals are to be delivered in the course of 1849 at Calais, Ajaccio, I3astia, Marseilles, Malta, Athens, Constantinople, and Alexandria, in different quanti ties. Out of the whole quantity 14,000 tons are to he delivered at Malta. The coals must be either English, French, or Belgian, with the exception of 14,900 tons, which must be Cardiff coal.

The French Five per Cents. were done rather lower on Sunday in the Passage de l'Opera than they closed on Saturday at the Bourse. After having gone as low as 661.40 c., they rallied, and closed at 66g. 60c., rather offered than demanded. The number of specu lators present was not very great.

The inhabitants of the suburbs defended themselves bravely, but the soldiers did not give way to them. After a very severe conflict, the soldiers carried the barriers at several points. In three hours the Croats had taken SO barricades. At seven in the evening four points of the suburbs were on fire. In the Wieden and the Landstrasse between 30 and 40 houses have become a prey to the flames. At 11 at night nothing was decided, but the troops were ad vancing victoriously." The Preussische Skats Anzeiger contains the fol lowing account, dated Vienna, the 29th ult.:— " The Communal Council of Vienna has issued the . following proclamation : " Citizensl—The Commander-in Chief of the National Guard has communicated to the Communal Council the intelligence that the National Guard and the Guard Mobile, as well as the Academic Legion, have resolved to throw down their arms and submit to the conditions imposed by Prince Windischgratz. A deputation, com posed of the members of the Communal Council and of the National Guard, has repaired to the Prince for the purpose of makiez this communication to him. " THE COMMUNAL COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF VIENNA. " Vienna, Oct. 29, 1848." On the morning of the 29th a deputation of the Communal Council repaired to the head- quarters in order to induce the General-in-Chief to desist from his resolution of putting the city in a state of siege even after its capitulation. The Prince, however, re fused to comply with the proposal, and demanded unconditional submission. He nevertheless promised that he would not fire any more on the city through out the whole of that day, in order that the inhabi tants might hay.- time for reflection. At half-past two in the afternoon the Viennese again opened their fire in several quarters, but this demonstration soon ceased. On the evening of the 29th the Communal Council assembled in consequence of the Prince's reply, and called to its deliberations the Commander-in-Chief and all the other officers of the National Guard, in order to deliberate whether the city could be any longer defended, and whether it would be advisable to continue the resistance. M. MESSENHAUSSER declared that he was quite ready to continue the defence, if the Communal Council would command him to do so; but that the position of the Imperial troops were such as to give the city no possible chance of an effectual resistance. The Council then proceeded to vote, and the reso lution to submit immediately was carried by a majority of two-thirds of the votes. On the same evening a deputation repaired to the Prince to in form him of their unconditional submission, and the proclamation above quoted was immediately posted about the streets. The deputation was to entreat the Prince to command the Imperial troops to lend a strong hand to the communal authorities to effect the disarmament of the city. In consequence of this de claration hostilities ceased, and on the 30th the troops occupied the glacis without encountering any resist ance. On the same day the inhabitants of the suburbs had already for the most part laid down their arms. As early as the 29th, 27 companies of the National Guard, in the suburb of Wieden, are said to have deposited their arms. It is also stated that the National Guards in the city repelled the attacks made by the workmen on the Imperial Palace, and that General BEM has been carried wounded to the Hotel de Londres. The Municipal Council published a notification that the workmen of the armed corps, and the Garde Mobile, receiving the pay of the commune, and the poor National Guards who received the assistance of the commune, should continue to receive it, after giving up their arms, and until industrial relations should be re• established. The following telegraphic dispatch was received at Berlin on the evening of the 30th, from the Prussian Envoy at the Court of Austria : "lleitring, near Vienna, Oct. 29, one o'clock P.M. " During this night nearly all the suburbs of Vienna have been taken by assault by the Imperial troops, The cannonade as well as the firing has ceased. The city is capitulating." The lithograpic: report of the board of correspon dence in Berlin, of Oct. 29, says : “M. Arago, Minister of the French Republic, has just received intelligence that Prince Windisctigratz has entered Vienna," Prince WINDISCHGRATZ, on the 30th, at twelve o'clock, sent the following telegraphic dispatch to Baron IVESSEMBERQ, the Minister President : " Vienna unconditionally submits this day. My sol diers 'yid enter Vienna to-Jay." And the following official notice was posted in the streets of 011mutz on the 30th "According to a telegraphic dispatch frem his Serene Highness Prince Windischgratz to the Minister Presi dent, Baron Wessemberg, Vienna has unconditionally surrendered and the Imperial troops occupy the city to day.

Accounts from Ratibor state that a general revolt took place at Brunn, upon the 20th, in favour of the people of Vienna; that the citizens, joining the in surgents, fell upon the military, overpowered and disarmed them ; and that the Landsturm in the dis trict has also risen in the same cause. Several Hungarian regiments have left Prague to join their countrymen. PRUSSIA. On the 31st ult. some disturbances took place at Berlin, in consequence of the rejection by the Diet of WALDEces motion, calling on the Government to aid the Viennese. The following amendment, by ROD BERTUS, was, however, almost unanimously agreed to. " his MAJESTY'S Government is summoned to empty immediate and most energetic measures with the Central Power, in order that the freedom of the people, ° endangered in the Austrian-German coup.. tries, and the menaced_ existence of the Austrian Reichstag may be protected, become a fact, and peace thereby restored." This, however, did not satisfy the crowd, wh o threatened to force the Assembly and to ill-treat the Ministers. The Burgher Guard, under REMPLER, however, succeeded in dispersing the mob, by using the butt-ends of their muskets without firing, and order was re-established. The following telegraphic dispatch, addressed by the Minister of the Interior to the President VON MOLLER, was received at Cologne " BERLIN, NOV. 1, Two O'CLOCK, P.M. " Disturbances yesterday took place on the Gens darmen-market during the sitting. The Civic Guard has re established order, and only one person has been seriously wounded. " EIC UN] ANN." Not only has nobility been abolished in Prussia, but all letters and all orders are also abolished. At the sitting of the Assembly on the 2d of No vember, the following letters were communicated to it " I have the honour to inform you that, in conse quence of the state of my hfalth, I have received my dismissal from his Majesty as Minister President mid Minister of War. (Signed) " PFUE I, ." " I beg to inform you hereby that his Majesty has been pleased to accept the resignation of the Minister President and Minister of War, Vo❑ Pfuel, and to charge me with the requisite full powers for the compo sition of a new Ministry. In consideration of this, I trust to your adjourning the Chamber for a few days. (Signed) " COUNT BRANI)ENBURG, Lieutenant- General." The excitement occasioned by the appointment of I3RANDENBURG, a professed reactionary, was immense, and was increased by the publication by EICHMANN of a proclamation threatening the intervention of troops. At half past seven the Burgher Guard com mander published two addresses, the one to his corps, declaring EICIIMANN'S manifesto, threatening the in tervention of the troops, to be an offence (verletzmng) to the Burgher Guard, and direct encroachment upon its rights, of not permitting military interference without the assent of the Committee of Safety, and ended by protesting against the Minister's proceeding. The second is an appeal t,CI the people, urging them to retnain quiet, and to unite with the Burgher Guard in maintaining peace, which, if interrupted, can only lead to military interposition. The Assembly remained sitting all day, and at nine o'clock a deputation proceeded to Potsdam to wait upon the KING, to protest against the nomina tion of Count BRANDENBURG, as dangerous to the monarchy and public peace. The House declared itself en permanence. The deputation has not re turned. There is little doubt that the KING will accede. The state of excitement is great, and should the KING refuse there is no answering for the con sequences. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. CAPITULATION OF VIENNA-FIGHTING RESUMED. Accounts have been received from Vienna, or rather from the camp Of WINDISCIIGRAT2, to the 31st ultimo. It appears that on the 30th the Communal Council made overtures to WINDISCEIGRATZ for an unconditional surrender of the city, which were ac cepted, and the firing ceased. On the 31st, however, the fighting was renewed, as the workmen refused to deliver up their arms. At the same time an attack was made by the Hungarians upon the army of JEL LACHICII, in which, according to WINDISCLIGRATZ (for all these accounts are ex carte) the former were defeated. The following particulars relative to the events of the 28th and 29th ult. are contained in the Schlesiscke Zcitung : " On the 28th the most violent connonade was raging from ten o'clock A.M. till midnight. The inhabitants of the suburbs fought with the g reatest bravery ; hab i t an t the other hand, the courage of the military did not yield to theirs. In consequence of a very lively skirmish the troops began to storm the lines on several paints. Those of Jellachich particularly distinguished themselves, as they stormed thirty barricades within three hours. At seven o'clock in the evening again four different parts of the suburbs were on fire, especially in the fau bourg Wieden and in the LaudAras-e, where between thirty and forty houses were burnt down. At eleven o'clock at night nothing as yet was decided, beyond the victorious advance of the troops. The in habitants of the city itself were said to have raised white flags of truce as early as the previous evening, which, however, were torn down by the operatives. Messen hauser, the comm-alder of the National Guard, had pro , claimed martial law, and threatened with capital punish ment all thoso who should shut their houses. On the other hand, Prince Windischgratz had threatened with the same fate all those who should not shut their doors and windows. The deputies sent into the camp thought fit not to communicate this proclamation to the city. Only a few shells were thrown on the evening of the 28th, as a mean s t o i ns pire terror. They were directed against the University, but a great number of rockets and shrapnells were thrown on the following day. On the 29th, at midday, the troops were already on the glacis, at a distance of only 200 to 400 steps from the walls of the inner city." Letters from Vienna in the Allgerneine Zeitung, dated the 27th ult., say that the individuals designated ,Ar . by it INDISCIIGRAT Z to be delivered up to him were General BEST, PuEr.sicy (the Hungarian Secretary of State), and SCHUTTE. A correspondent writes on the 29th ult. from iliet zing, near Vienna, to the Prussian Monitor—" Yes- ITALY. The insurrection continues to spread in the Valte line and in the neighbourhood . of Como. On the 27th Chiavenna was in possession of the insurgents, who had expelled the Austrians, erected barricades in the streets, broken the bridge thrown over the torrent Merra, and rendered impracticable the road from Chiavenna to Colico. Six hundred Austrians had left in steam-boate on hearing this news, leaving Como without troops. The inhabitants of Argegano (on the Lake, six miles from Como) had risen. They had disarmed twen y-five soldiers, whom they had made prisoners. All the valley above Argegno (between the lakes of Como and Lugano) had risen. Many refugees, coming from Tessin, had arrived there. On the 25th two steam- boats had appeared at Argegno. The combat was terrible ; the place was burned, and the people.took refuge in the moun tains. The insurrection continued in the Valley of Intelvi, where the Austrians met with resistance. Boats loaded with wounded arrived from Chiavenna. The insurrection had spread to Sondrio and the whole of the Valteline. The news from Bergamo is similar. The Valley of the Upper Seriono has risen, as well as Camonica. The enemy is forced to abandon the Valley of Intelvi. At Pallozago, in two affairs, the Austrians have been beaten. One of their superior officers is mortally wounded. The Concordia of Turin, of the 30th ult., says : " Although RADETZKI has sent against the insurgents of Chiavenna 4,000 men, with artillery, the insurrec tion is formidable. The insurgents occupy the best positions, and receive every day reinforcements of nu merous volunteers, who arrive from Switzerland. It is impossible to conceive the acts of barbarity of the Austrians. Five bodies of women have been found horribly mutilated." The same journal says the Valley of Torlezza is free. They are fortifying the important military point. Fresh troops have been sent from. Como to Colico. The sacrifices of money made for the insurrection are immense The Contemporaneo of Rome, of the 25th ult., an nounces that, on the day before, the Ghetto, or Jewry, was menaced with an attack by a multitude actuated, it seems, by private motives of vengeance, Some excesses were committed, but the speedy arri val of three battalions of civic guards and the dra goons soon restored tranquillity. The Minister of War had sent Quartermaster RUGGIERI to Venice to inquire into the state of the Roman volunteers there and 'provide for their clothing and other necessaries. Ha Is to embark in the steamer Roma, which he is afterwards to leave at Venice at the disposal of that Government. The Venice Gazette of the 231 contains a decree of the Provisional Government instituting a Hun garian Legion, composed of all the Hungarian sol diers and citizens now within Venice. They are to wear a Hungarian uniform. The preamble of the decree assigns, as a reason for this measure, that " Italy and Hungary ought to make common cause, as they both have the object of obtaining national in dependence." The same journal publishes a bulletin announcing that, on the 22d, 400 men of the bat talion of Chasseurs of the Sile, under the command of General Alamo, left Treporti, protected by three pirogues and two gun-boats, to attack the position of the Cavallino, occupied by about 250 Austrians, with three pieces of cannon. After landing with out oppo sition, protected by the fire of the pirogue; the fort of the Cavallino was taken, with two pieces of cannon, a good deal of ammunition, and other provisions. The Austrians were pusued till they passed the Piavo. The extraordinary proceedings in respect of her Majesty and Prince Albert's etchings are, we under stand, likely soon to be heard of in court,—in that of Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, by whom the injunc tion was granted against the parties who were about to exhibit the etchings in question, and publish a ca• talogue of them. The Bills filed on the part of her Majesty and the Prince have been amended in conse quence, we hear, of fresh information. It is said that the chief defendant, a respectable publisher in Pater noster-row, is really not in any way implicated in the disgraceful transaction in question. The counsel for her Majesty and the Prince are the Attorney and Solicitor-General, Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, and Mr. W. M. James; for Mr. Strange, Mr. Russell, Q.C., Mr. Warren, and Air. Sydney Smith. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY. The arrivals of all kinds of English grain, especially those of Oats and Beans, for our market last week, coast wise and by land carriage, were very limited; those of Flour on the increase. Scarcely any corn came to hand either from Ireland or Scotland. Comparatively speak ing, the imports from abroad were good, viz., 22,267 quarters of Wheat, 8,469 ditto of Barley, 10,955 ditto of Oats, 1,283 ditto of Rye, 999 ditto of Beans, 5.057 ditto of Peas; 534 ditto of Tares; 5,494 ditto of Linseed; 134 ditto of Rapeseed; 48 ditto of Mustard Seed; 1,358 ditto of sundry seeds; 840 barrels and 2,051 sacks of Flour. It is known that a large fleet of vessels, laden with Corn, is on passage to England from the Baltic. A change in the wind will, possibly bring the vessels in, either this or next week. From Essex an unusually small supply of Wheat of home produce came fresh to hand this morning. The receipts of that article from Kent, Cambridgeshire, &c., were limited. As very few parcels remained unsold at the close of Friday's market, the show of samples of English Wheat, was trifling in the extreme, and on the whole, of very middling quality. As the attendance of buyers from the country was good, and as most of them were by no means well in stock, the demand for all kinds of Eng lish Wheat was somewhat active, at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday last, of Is. per quarter, and at which a good clearance was effected. With Foreign Wheat we were tolerably well, but not to say, heavily supplied. Selected parcels of both red and white were in steady, though not to say active, request, at prices fullyequal to those obtained on this day se'nnight. The middling and out-of-condition sorts were a slow inquiry, at late rates. Most of the cargoes on hand, last week, were landed in bond. An accu mulation of stock is expected by some persons. Notwithstanding the supply of English Barley was small, that article was a slow sale, and is per quarter lower than last week. Foreign qualities were neglected, at the above decline. The show of the latter was mode rately good, and of fair average quality. Malt of super fine quality ready for delivery was tolerably firm, at very full prices. For forward delivery, exceedingly little business was doing, but we have no decline to notice in value. The supply on offer was limited. Although the supply of Oats from all quarters was small, that article met a very slow inquiry. Good sound parcels supported the late advances in the quotations, but damp qualities were somewhat easier to purchase. For Beans, the supply of which was not large, we had a very slow inquiry, and late rates were with difficulty supported. Very large supplies of Peas having come to hand from abroad, white qualities sold at a decline of from Is. to 2s. per quarter: - Grey and maple samples were very dull. Indian Corn and Meal met a very slow inquiry, at last week's quotations, There was rather more doing in Flour. In prices, however, we hive no improvement to notice. 'ERIAL MEASURE.

At the northern outports about 3,000 head of stock hay arrived, chiefly from Holland and Germany. Notwith standing the extensive imports of foreign stock noticed above, the show of Beasts and Calves from abroad this morning was comparatively limited ; that of Sheep tolerably good. Rather large numbers of Beasts have been disposed of privately, oil being landed. There was a better feeling in the general demand to• day, and in some instances the quotations had an upward tendency. The supply of home-fed Beasts fell considerably short of that shown on this day se'nnight, both as to number and quality. As the attendance of buyers was on the increase, and the weather more favourable to slaughter ing, the Beef trade was somewhat active, at an advance in the quotations of quite 2d per 81bs. The general top figure for Beef was 44, but a few very superior Scots produced 4s 2d per 81b. Prior to the close of business a good clearance bad been effected. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, we received about 1,100 short horns; from the eastern, western, and mid land districts, 1,000 Herefords, runts, Devons, Irish beasts, &c.; from other parts of England, 800 of various breeds; the remainder of the supply being derived from abroad and the neighbourhood of the metropolis. For the time of year, we were scantily supplied with Sheep, the numbers of which were some thousands less than those shown on Monday last. There was a better feeling in the Mutton trade, although we cannot call it brisk. The very primest old Downs sold, in most instances, at from 4s lod to 5s per 81bs, being an improvement in value of 2d per 81bs. All other breeds of Sheep were in fair request, and in some cases prices ruled somewhat higher than last week. We have to report an improved demand for Calves, the supply of which was small, and Friday's advance in the currencies of 2d per 81bs was steadily supported. Very few of the Calves were above the middle quality. There was very little improvement in the Pork trade; nevertheless prices were fairly sup• ported in every instance. Very few Pigs have come to hand from Ireland for some time past. Per albs. to sink the offal. s. d. to s. d. a. d. to s. d.

Very extensive supplies of country-killed meat have been received up to our markets, since Monday last, viz., 900 carcasses of Beef ; 2,200 ditto of Mutton ; 800 ditto of Veal ; and 3,200 ditto of Pork. Those on offer' slaughtered in the metropolis, have been very extensive, hence, the general demand has ruled 'excessively dull. Prime Beef and Alutton have sold at the late decline in value, but most other kinds of meat have gone off on easier terms. About 1,000 carcasses of foreign meat have been disposed of.
