A splendid and, we trust, conclusive victory pa h as been achieved by the M o d erate Republicansof and the French departments. Th ose political advern's Anarchi st : turers who are variously d es i gnated Ultras, Terrorists, Socialists, and Communists, the' Montagnards of 1848, the worshippers rather of FOURIER than of ROUSSEAU, the dreamers of Saint Simonian visions, the men whose gospel is the Orga nization du Travail in lieu of the Contrut have been utterly routed, disarmed, and paralysed. Nothing, in truth, could by possibility have afforded a nobler testimony of the ripeness of France for Republicanism, or of the fitness of h er citizens for the discharge of the sacred responsibi lities of an universal suffrage, than the triumphant result of the moderate elections for the National Assembly. It is a sublime consequence of the glorious days of February. The success of LAMAR TINE is the acceptation of a principle—the principle of peace and fraternity—that principle which must be henceforth the verb of the Republican Government. In th French capital the announcement of the catalogue of elected representatives—the thirty-f,ur I npresentatives `of the department of the Seine—has diffused a profound sense of joy and security. LAMAR TINE,;a3 a matter of course, heads the list, with the enormous number of 259,800 votes—a majority which exceeds the suffrages awarded to LEDRU ROLLIN by no less than 127,213. Glo riously has this civic crown of confidence been won by the Provisional Minister for Foreign Affairs—by the constancy with which be has dedicated his genius, his time, his life, and his property to the hap piness of his country and the consolidation of its institutions—by the matchless valour with which he, an unarmed orator, braved the pikes of the revolu tionary mob, and conquered the passions of the rabble by the majesty of his eloquence. Yes! if ever a simple citizen merited the love and admiration of his compatriots LAMARTINE is that man, and the unanimity with which he has been elevated by the Parisians to the principal seat in the Legislature is a testimony that such is the opinion of the pro• moters of the late Revolution. Nor has this been the solitary attestation of the enthusiasm with which the character of LAMARTINE is regarded beyond the Channel. Far otherwise. The departments have emulated the metropolis in their decision. In the Department of the Nord, the name of the Foreign Minister of the Republic is inscribed among the twenty-eight successful Deputies. Again, he has been declared one of the ten re presentatives of E3ouches-du-Rhone, one of the ten deputies of the Cote d'or, and in the Seine Inferieure he has headed the catalogue of candidates with no less than 76,000 suffrages. Popular commendation could not be ex pressed more emphatically. . The voice of a free people could not be more audible its acclamations. LAMARTINE will enter the National Assembl y co vered with the prestig e of his fame and of his popu larity. Very different is the position of the anarchical minority. CORBON (ouvrier), a wood-carver and principal editor of the Atelier, being the nineteenth on the catalogue of the Seine. ALBERT (ouvrier), the Provisional Minster in the Luxembourg, being the twen t y first. PEUPIN, a journeyman watchmaker, being twenty-third. LEDRU ROLLIN, the Provisional Minister of the Interior, being twenty-fourth. CAESSI DIERE, the Prefect of Police, twentieth. FLOCON, the Provisional Secretary and editor of the Reforme, t wenty sixth. Louis BLANC, the colleague of ALBERT in the Luxembourg, twenty-seventh. And AGaicoi, P , ERDIGUIER (ouvrier), c a bi ne t- ma k er ,: t wen t y - n i n th. such is the subordinate situation of the Communist representatives in the metropolitan list of deputies — subordinate we mean in relation to their competitors and victors the Moderates. For example those Moderates, after the favourite of the Parisians, ap pear in this succession upon the catalogue—DuronT (De L'Euae), the Provisional President, second. ARAGO, Provisional Minister of Marine and of War, third. GASSIER PAGES, Provisional Minister of Fi• nance,fourth. MARRAST, Mayor of Paris, and editor of the National, fifth. MARIE, Provisional Minister of Public Works, sixth. Cansa LEI: X, Provisional Minister of Justice, seventh. CARNOT, Provisional Minister of Pub lic Instruction, ninth. BETHMONT, Provisional Minister of Agriculture and of Commerce, tenth. DUYIVIER, Commandant-General of the Garde Mobile, eleventh. CAVAIGNAC, Governor-General of Algeria, fourteenth. PAGNERRE, Provisional Secretary to the Republican Government, sixteenth. BUCHEZ, the Assistant- Mayor of Paris, seventeenth. CORMENIN, Provi -ional President of the Council of State, and celebrated author, under the pseudonym of Tinton, eighteenth. SCHMITH, an artizan, twenty- fifth. RECURT, another assistant mayor of Paris, twenty eighth. JULES BASTIDES, under-secretary to the Provisional Minister for Foreign Affairs, thirtieth. And GUINARD, colonel of the artillery of the National Guard, thirty- third. By such superiority both of position and numbers have the Moderates exceeded their antagonists, and to these mimes must be added the neutral naa.es remaining on the catalogue, names which at once attests the perfect fraternization of classes and the pacific aspirations of the multitude : BERANGER, the renowned song-writer, eighth. L AS TEYRIE, ex-deputy, twelfth. VAYIN, also an ~x -deputy, thirteenth. BERGER, an ex-de puty, fifteenth. WoLowsica, professor of the Conservatory of Arts and Manufactures, twenty ,.econd. COQCEREL, a Protestant clergyman, thirty first. GARNON, another ex-deputy, thirty-second. And the thirty-fourth, the illustrious Abbe DE La • stEssats. As an analysis of the catalogue of repre sentatives for the metropolitan department the fore ,going is as scrupulously correct as it is satisfactory. It forms a brilliant corroboration of our previous opinions as to the tendencies of the February Revo lution; and affords the first, and certainly a mag nificent, example of the working of that double system of democracy —the ballot and universal suf frage. We may now, therefore, anticipate with renewed confidence the opening of that National Assembly the constituent members of which have been selected under such glorious auspices. On Friday we alluded to the recent decision in the case of GEILS Y. GrEms, in the Court of Arches, and we pointed oat the vexatious delays—the extra vagant expense—and the objectionable mode of taking the evidence of the several witnesses, which rendered it utterly impossible for the Judge to arrive at a sa tisfactory decision on any disputed point, all of which were so conspicuous in that case. We shall now in quire into the nature and amount of the " cruelty" necessary to warrant a sentence of separation, as laid by the Learned Judge in his very elaborate judg tnent. So far as actual violence is concerned the law is simple enough, and perfectly clear. A single blow inflicted by the husband in a moment of exasperation may bring him within the juris diction of the Court, although his usual conduct had been of the most exemplary character, and he had generally conducted himself as a faithful and affectionate consort. "Anything which tended to bodily hurt or peril might be a sufficient reason for a separation between the parties. Many acts were not required ; one was sufficient if it were likely to occur again." So says the Learned Judge, and we do not dispute the justice or propriety of the principle. It is ..ssential that th e s t ronger an d Mora power f u l s h ould he compelled to abstain from any actual violence which, if tolerated for a moment, under any pretext whatever, might lead to the most fearful consequences. .k man who could be base enough to strike a woman under any possible circumstances ort is utterly unworthy of sympathy or sup nant wife should desire to and t it his abused and indig derson who had so forgotten s h er m r s a e t l e f ahsetroseclof commit so a cowardly an outrage, she should be justified in so worpdrotefction ceases, for injury doing. But here the might although we are told that in every tianiaeyredsalarypossible to menace leading to a reasonable apprehension of bo s dily case e s sufficient, c p i r e o n v t e , and that a t 11 1 at violence,"it was not may actwie sustain a charge of legal cruelty under any other circumstances, as the very case to which we alluding will exemplify. A husbandare most brutal and disgraceful manner, he may use the th most opprobrious language, • and apply the most in famous epithets to the woman whom he has vowed at the altar "to love and cherish,"—he may treat her with habitual harshness and tyranny, rendering her life miserable, and yet she may be compelled to return to Ha society, and still be subjected to repeated an noyance and consta nt p rovocation. Sir H. JENNER Fusr stated In the present ca s e , " that he was not satisfied that the charges of euelty Would entitle Mrs. GEILS to a sentence on that 'zround." We do not in the slightest degree accuse that Learned Judge of being influenced by any un worthy motive, or of having departed fr om the usual urecedents which he was bound to respect. He was undoubtedly placed in a very painful position in con ,itequence of the charges that had been preferred, and consider most th e more essen ti a l that he should so as id t : most attenti ve ly th e groun d s o f his judgment, prevent the possibility of any future impu tation or charge,um e i neonsequence thereof. We may, therefore, as thst it conta i ned a f a i r expos i t i on of the la w , and was n perfect accor d ance w i t h t h e principles a n d practice fore, we may feel ourselef the c our t. Wh atever, there ves ju s tifi e d i n condemning in that udgment m oat be , Inder a t oo d as being directed THE SUN, LONDON, /against the law itself, and not against the Learned Judge by whom it was pronounced. We find it, then, admitted by Mr. GEILS himself, his wife, and when "that when quarrelling with greatly provoked and excitrd by her, he would abuse her in coaroi terms, and call her a devil," and bitch." It was also pr ove d that he was sometimes a frequently in violent passions,and called his wife by very improper names. Again, he had at the library at Farley-hill called his wife a -, and other opprobrious names ; in addition to which Mrs. GEILs alleged that he had pushed her violently , although near her confinement at the time (this latter part, however, the Learned Judge did not conceive to be established by the evi dence). There were a variety of similar acts and language, more particularly the threats (admitted by himself), " that he would scrag her," or " twist round her neck or " knock off her d---d little head," or words to that effect ; but it appears that such language, unless followed up by acts of violence, did not amount to actual " legal cruelty, and the insulted and outraged wife might still have been compelled to abide with the party who had used these expressions, and had grossly vio lated his pledges towards her, had he not been guilty of those crimes which justified the Court in decreeing the separation that was demanded. Nay, it appears that he had, when she was in the fifth or six month of he r p regnancy, proceeded (as he had ad mitted he had often done on similar occasions) to put her out of the room by force, during which her hand was cut, and her dress torn; but, although here was the actual violence that wattld justify a divorce, as she did net l eave hi m at t h e moment, b ut rema i ne d until after her confinement, no notice could be taken, the offence having been what is termed condoned. Surely no person can justify such a state of law. In deciding whether the violence or cruelty was of such a description as to warrant a permanent separa tion, i variety of minute circumstances should be taken into consideration, such as the rank in life, the position, education, and refinement of the parties. Such questions could only be properly decided on by a jury, who under the directions of one of the judges, and with all the witnesses examined before than in open court, should return a verdict as to the facts, and declare whether the parties could again be re quired to dwell under the same roof, and resume the intercourse of wedded life. SPAIN. Madrid papers of the 24th ult. have arrived. The QUEEN had conferred the Cross of San Fer nando on General FULGIOSO, for his services during the recent enteute. Her MAJESTY has been pleased to pardon certain persons condemned to death by the Courts of Madrid, Saragossa, and Seville. the Duke awl Duchess of AIONTPENSIER have re turned to Madrid from Aranjuez. It was rumoured in Madrid that the King of SAR DINIA had expressed his intention of acknowledging Queen „ISABELLA. The Carlist bands are daily increasing in Catalonia. There was no Bolsa on the 24th. Since the above was in type, Madrid papers of the 25th have been received. A great hull-fight took place on that day, which was attended by the QUEEN, the KING, Queen CHRISTINA, and the Duke and Duchess of AIONT PENSIER. The Duke and Duchess of MONTPENSIER were to leave Madrid on the following day for Aranjuez, after which they were to proceed on their journey to Adalusia. The King of NAPLES had sent an Envoy to Madrid, to aik an increase of the Spanish fleet on the coast of Sicily, in consequence of the disturbances in that island.

Ten thouspnd 'National Guards, cavalry and infantry, occupied the square in front of the Hotel ; and the hustings, fi out which the proclamation was made, were lighted by a body of the Garde Mobile, bearing torches. M. 1.3 ERRYEE has been returned and M. Tatnl thrown out. Among the other eminent men of the last Chamber returned were M. BlLLAuxir and M. DUPIN. The rejection of M. Taigas causes the more surprise, us DINERGIEII DS ILLURANNE, LEON VArcHmt, and others of his followers have been elected. LI.M.AZTINS has been returned for several places, while :Lzhau itoLLO was rejected by the constituency he used to represent. Even the army and navy have voted like the citizens, showing their preference for LAMARTINE, who has four times as many military votes as LEDRU LuII. Among the new members appear a great many landed proprie tors and mayors of towns, showing that the agricul tural and business classes will be fairly represented. It is curious that the two eloquent priests, LACOR DAME and DEGUERRY, should be rejected, and the Protestant minister COQUEREL returned. Even LAMMENAIS is the last on the list of the successful candidates. M. FREDERIC BASTIAT, the great advocate of free trade, who may almost be styled the COBDEN of France, has been returned for the department of Landes.

(The ninth is not kn own.) Among the well-known Members of the Chamber of Deputies who have not secured seats in the National Assembly, M. DAME DE GIRARDIN is one. He has been thrown out by his late constituents at Bourga neuf, to make room for one of M. LEDRU itommes commissaries. He is very indignant at the usage he has received, and says, that the whole power of the Provisional Government was employed to e;Clude him. At Lyons M. EMANUEL AItAGO, the com missary who has made himself so famous by his banking operations in that city, has lost his election. M. LAroarr, the mayor of Lyons, is at the head of the fourteen members returned. M. DE MONTALEMBEST will possibly be a member of the Assembly. lie and another candidate have an equal number of voters, so that a double return will be made, which will be left to the decision of the A ssem bly. 'The number of double returns will be enormous. Official returns have already been re ceived from nine places in which M. de Lamartine is elected—Paris, Dijon, Rouen, Marseilles, Bor deaux, Macon, and three other places. M. Dupont (de l'Eure) has been elected at Paris and Evreux ; M. Ledru Rollin at Paris and Macon; M. Cormenin at Paris and Laval ; M. Marrast at Paris, Pau, and Mont de Marsan ; M. Arago at Paris and Perpignan ; Aylies at Alengon and Auch ; M. Bastide at Paris, Melun, and Macon ; M. Cremieux at Paris and Tours ; Pagnerre at Paris and Versailles ; Marie at Paris and Auxerre, &c. The ultras are furious, and intend, it is said, to call upon BARnES, CAUSSIDIERE, and the few other Communists who have been elected, not to take their seats in the National Assembly. The Reforine thus comments on the results of the elections : " The reaction has reached its height. It has sepa rated the nation into two camps—it has established between two classes of citizens that line of demarcation which the Revolution of February had effaced. The contest between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat has recommenced. Blood has been. fled at Rouen; it has been shed at Elbeuf—a precious blood whatever may be the rank of the fallen victims, and which will only reflect the more implacably on those workers of discord whose receptacles are beside us. " Yes, it is through the instigation of all those bare. faced organs of the two last reigns that the nation is in a disturbed and agitated state—the nation, a little ago so calm, and in which all sentiments seemed to be con founded in an equal love of country. No; it is not to the commissaries of the Government that these disor ders are to be attributed ; -0 tthose commissaries of the Government against whom the population has been so often stirred up on their arrival, and even before they had done any act of authority. And do they know well whose agents they are, those instigators of civil war? Did they not then see the ambassadors of St. Peters. burgh and London at their windows, observing their deeds of prowess on the 16th of April. " But let patriots rally together, let them discipline themselves: let them be ready for every event, for the danger is imminent, and the moment is not, perhaps, far distant when they may have need of all their cou rage." If anything were wanting to show that M. LEDRU ROLLIN neither understands nor loves real liberty, and therefore has no right whatever to style himself a Republican, this last quoted sentence from the Re form would prove it. The sentiments of the French People have been ascertained in the fairest and most unmistakeable manner by universal suffrage and vote by ballot—the majority of the nation has declared itself, and yet M. LEDRU ROLLIN appeals to a miser able minority to overawe by physical force the majority, and to coerce that majority into the adoption of measures of which they disap- Pmve, but which M. LUDRU ROLLIN wills should be carried. Where, we ask, is the difference between M. LEDRU RoLLtrt and the Autocrat of Russia, save that at present M. LRDRU ROLLIN is powerless; but is it not e vident that, had he the power, he would treat the majority of Frenchmen after the same fashion that NICKOLAS has treated the majority of the Poles ? Again we repeat, the party of which M. LEDRU ROLLIN is the representative is a despotic, not a republican party. The Assemblee Nationale, commenting on these elections, says— " At this moment the fate of France is fixed, and the true people have made known their sovereign will. It is in vain now for the factions to endeavour to turn the name of the people to the account of their ambi tion, their fanaticism, and: their cupidity. The people disavow them, and declare to them, with a powerful and unanimous voice, that they will not have their utopian schemes and their falsehoods—they declar e that they know well enough the calculations of their selfishness, that they appreciate the sterile results of their theory, that they have su ffi cientl y tast ed the bitter fruits of ' anarch. We believe the people to be sufficiently ardent to he misled when their passions are excited, but they are too enlightened for it to be possible MONDAY VEINING, MAY I, 1848. to deceive them long. With their admirable good sense, and with the enlightenment for which they are indebted to modern civilisation, they have understood that the first condition of liberty is order—that order is labour, awl easy circumstances, and they have easily seen who were the best defenders of order, of labour, of the wel fare and rights of all. They have nominated their defenders by a great majority; and they will know how to defend them with energy. At present all orders of the state, all classes of society, Paris and the provinces, the National Guard and the army, manufacturers and large proprietors, all entertain the same object of securing. the reign of order and conservation, of securing the independence of the Assembly which is about to meet." The Constitutionnel says— " We can only now congratulate ourselves on seeing that the rather numerous minorities which exist in the country will have representatives in the Assembly. The more the Assembly is a faithful and complete image of the nation, the less will violent conflicts be to be feared, and the less excuse will there be for them. Every opi nion has in the first place the free press, through which it may address itself to the country; then, when it has a sufficient number of partisans, the national tribune is open to it. To appeal to force, when one has the free press and universal suffrage, is not only a crime—it is au ex travagance. What is a!so a good symptom for the future state of our country is the eagerness shown by the citizens to take part in the elections. Every one appeared to comprehend that the time fLr indif ference was past; every one is aware that the destiny of individuals is closely connected with the fate of the common country. We are republican ; no one is charged by us to arrange our affairs; there is no longer a fictitious sovereignty which conceals itself behind the national sovereignty ; the doctrine of M. Guizot, who referred all citizens to the care of their private fortane, to concentrate exclusively in some hands the government of public affairs, a bad and dangerous doctrine at all times, will be now doubly criminal. Let us perform boldly and with perseverance our duties as citizens, and endeavour to acquire political virtues, with out which there is neither true liberty nor a true re public. Let there be an exaggerated confidence, no sudden discouragement ; the good accomplished one day by concord, vigilance, energy, and patriotism, may be always destroyed on the following one by an act of intolerance or abandonment, by an excess of confidence or of fear. At this moment, for instance, there is reason to hope that the Constituent Assembly will resolve in a sense favourable to the working classes the questions which will be brought before it, without attacking legitimate rights or the funda mental principle of property ; there is reason to hope that it will show itself neither anarchical nor op pressive. We do not ask more than to share in this hope, and we feel the greatest respect for national re presentation. But who can swear that the Assembly will neither commit faults tier errors? who can say that no discontented minority will ever attempt violence? What immense and terrible questions are about to be submitted to the chances of the tribune and of the ballots! What a redoubtable influence will the Assembly exer cise on the whole of Europe; What consequences may follow a bad resolution, a violence of majority, an act of weakness fur badly employed eloquence, a❑ inspiration of alarm or of anger in presence of threats from without! Let each citizen impose on himself the duty of inces santly watching; in observing that prudence and poll cal firmness of which England and the United States have given us so many examples, to manifest his opinion opportunely under legal forms, to defend in case of need the Constituent Assembly, from which the nation ought not to separate itself a single day. Let there be, more over, no impatience or recourse to violence, whatever may arrive. Discussion and time will suffice for good sense and for truth." The following, from the Commerce, expresses, we believe most correctly, the sentiments of the French people : " The first trial of universal suffrage has just been completed from one end of France to the other, and it gives a marked contradiction to those who suspected the good sense of the nation. The elections already in great part known are at the same time republican and moderate. France has proclaimed, by an immense majo rity, names which are for her the symbol of order and li berty. We salute with all our hearts this triumph of moderation and public reason. We salute it, because we are sure that this moderation will not be retrograde. It is not any longer concessions which suffice—it is large satisfactions which the popular interest has a right to demand, identical as it is with the well- understood in terest of the burgess party. The burgess party has comprehended that, and thanks be rendered to it for doing so! Names belonging to the people, names of workmen, have issued in a certain number from the electoral urn. All classes, if there be classes, will be represented. The old Left occupies a consider able place in the election, and it was only just that it should do so. It would have been ingratitude on the part of the young Republic to dismiss that vanguard which had fought the last combats of liberty. The Republic is strong enough to forget that the Left was a moment surprised, not to say wore, at having gained the victory too well. These men were besides in general prepared for the regime which they were unwise enough to postpone to a future time, more or less near, more ur less distant. The rapidity of their conversion is for us not a calculation of duplicity. as has been falsely affirmed, but a sincere and bond fide pledge of their facility to admit what they had not known how to foresee, from want of sagacity, or bring about, from want of decision. What an advance besides IILIS not been made for all since Feb. 24! What lessons have not been given by the event! What light, not suspected a few days before, has been all at once revealed, and how many new horizons have made their appearance! The necessity of reforms, nut only political, but social, is evident even to those who were not long since obstinate in seeing only the half or the quarter of the problem. It is a flag which the Republican Assembly will adopt resolutely. Issuing from the people, it will be of the people—it is only at that price that it can be powerful." The Journal des &ball gives the following account of the arrangements of the new hall of the National Assembly : " The shorthand writers commissioned to report the debates of the new National Assembly held another meeting on Thursday in the hall of the bureaux of the old Chamber of Deputies, for the purpose of appointing their syndics. The new ball of the National Coll. stitueut Assembly will be immense; its form is oblong, with a circular termination of the extremity which faces the tribune and the arm chair of the President. The benches are wood, covered with green baize. The representatives of tht Republic will be seated less comfortably than in the theatres ; they will be separated from each other by a rail, covered with baize. The decorations of the tribune and the ensemble are pale green and yellow. About the chair of the President is suspended a sort of drapery resembling the curtain of a large theatre. On the right and left are inscribed in large capital letters the magic words, ' French Republic, Liberty, Equality, and Fra ternity.' The ball, which is well lighted by a double row of transverse casements, will be illuminated at night by nine lustres, arranged in three paralel lines To the reporters of the public press will be assigned ninety places in the tribunes, and these places will be the nearest the bureau of the President. The tribune of the Editors-in-chief ' will hold forty-two persons. The places reserved for the public without tickets are at the end of the ball in the most elevated part; they are isolated from the other tribunes and are entered by a separate staircase." The Journal de Rouen of Saturday gives the fol lowing summary of the further accounts of the dis turbances which have taken place in that city On Friday morning, at nine o'clock, the National Guards and the troops of the line, who rivalled each ether in zeal, were in close conflict with the insurgents. We now learn that notwitstanding the conduct of the latter fully warranted the immediate adoption of the most extreme measures, the authorities would not at tempt the taking of the barricades until the legal formalities of summoning the insurgents to surrender had been exercised. When these were treated with contempt, a sharp fire from musketry and cannon was opened upon the barricades, and the most important of them surrendered after a terrible resistance. The in surgents then declared that if their lives were spared they would of themselves destroy the other barricades. The offer was accepted and executed. This was in the streets near the close St. Mare, but near the Martain ville the insurgents held out, and a fire of musketry was kept up for an hour, • at ihe end of which the in surgents in that quarter made an unconditional sur render, and expressed great contrition for their conduct. . The Government Commissary, M. Deschamps, and the Provisional Mayor, M. Lebrlleau, then went through the streets which had been the scene of disaster, pro claiming peace and conciliation. The insurgents, how ever, did not observe good faith, for no sooner had their lives been spared than they recommenced their work in other quarters. They threw stones, and fired at the escort of a commissary of police, and began to construct new barricades in the quarters Martainville and St. Hi laire, and even on Boulevards bearing these names. It was again necessary to act with vigour. A charge was made by the cavalry upon the insurgents en the place St. Hilaire, and they were driven as far as the rail road bridge oa the road to Darnetuil. Three of the insurgents were killed in this attack. At Saint Sever there was a large body of insurgents, but these also were routed, and fled across the plain. A barricade was gallantly carried by some National Guards, and the infantry of the line coming up, the p ursu i t o f the insurgents was continued—they attempted to main tain a stand at a barricade at the aid of the Rue d'lilbeuf, but it was carried, and two of its tlefenders lost their lives. During the remainder of the day the insur gentr were comparatively quiet, with the exception of an attack upon a patrol from the windows of some houses in the Rue Martaiuville. None of the patrol suffered; but the fire being returned, two of the assailants were killed. Up to three o'clock in the morning, the date of the article of the Jou, nal de Rouen, no further attempt had been made by the insurgents, and such precautions bad been adopted that it was not thought probable they would re sume their criminal enterprise. The city, however, was still in a state of consternation. The number of killed on the two days is estimated at 22 ; but that of the wounded could not be ascertained. It does not appear that there has been any serious loss on the side of the National Guard and the troops. Two hundred and forty-four persons have been arrested ; amongst them is M. Durand, deputy-mayor, and chief of a club, to whose wild doctrines the rising is in great part attributed. At ten o'clock last night a man, who had been already ar rested and released, was taken up again, disguised in female apparel. The city has not been declared in a state of siege, as represented by some of our Paris con temporaries, but merely en etat de yunrre, which gives to the military commandant unlimited power of action. The National Guards are stated to have acted with great courage, amounting a1m056 to exasperation, Re inforcements of troy os of the line were hourly expected at Rouen. The Journal de Rouen adds that the work men of Dbeuf have also risen, and ammunition has been sent otf to that place for the troops and the Na tional Guards ; the extent of the insurrection was not known." Accounts were received in Paris on Saturday night of the perfect restoration of tranquillity in Rouen. The town was in possession of the military. At Elbeuf the insurgents had been defeated. The Government have received official accounts of the loss of the war steamer Salamandre, of 120 horse power. She was lost on the coast of Proven9e. Twelve hundred of the Garde Mobile have been sent to Rouen. --- ----- General OUDINOT, commanding provisionally the army of the Alps, left Paris on Saturday for head quarters at Lyons. The accounts from Algiers are very alarming. The National says— " We receive the most alarming news from Algeria, and the unfortunate sending of the commissary extraor dinary of whom we spoke has not a little contributed to cause perturbation in our colony. M. Couput has, it Is . true, been revoked; but confidence in the authority of the metropolis is morally shaken, and it will be difficult to repair for a long time the evil, which a misunder standing, we are assured. has caused. Already had im prudent expressions which fell from high functionaries, and which only expressed a personal opinion, caused a certain agitation, and given rise to the false and disastrous belief that the sympathies of the Government of France for its conquest of Africa were weakened; as if the greatness and glory of France, to which Africa is for the future attached, were not a more ardent wish and a more imperative necessity for the republic than for any other form of government. On the other hand, the Arabs are agitated, and those who know their habits advise us to be on our guard. It is in the pro vince of Oran especially that the symptoms, which are the precursors of the storm, display themselves. If we be well informed in the midst of the anxieties, natural however, which absorb the Provisional Government, the prompt and decisive measures which would prevent audacious attempts are not taken. What is wanted, above all, is to place at the head of the province, always the first ex posed, an active, young, intelligent chief, whose ex perience and previous career inspire confidence in the army, and impose peace on the Arabs. This chief is desig nated by everybody in Africa ; but here there are hesitations, and a fear to wound hierarchical self-love. Perilous circumstances demand a bold initiative, for which the situation should be consulted rather than the Annuaire. Under similar circumstances the last Govern ment went to seek a young colonel at the head of a regiment, made him general of brigade, and immediately gave him a command of 15,000 men in that same pro vince of Oran, without taking into account the clamours or pretensions of the general staff. Can the Republic not have the power to do what the monarchy dared 1" General CATAIGNAC has been recalled from Al giers, and General CHANGARNIER, a young and active officer, has been appointed Governor. General. The Provisional Government has decreed the re• duction of the number of military divisions of France from 21 to 17. By another decree of the Provisional Government the palace of the Louvre is ordered to be completed, and to assume the name of " Palace of the People." It is to be appropriated for the exhibition of the works of art, the productions of national industry, and the national library. The Rue de Rivoli is to be continued on the same plan. The works relative to the construction of the Palace of the People are declared works of publiu utility; and the " expro• priation" of the houses intervening is to commence forthwith. The Minister of Public Instruction has changed the name of the " Asylums " into that of " Maternal Schools," and instituted, at Paris, a " Normal Mater nal School, for the instruction of the functionaries of the Maternal Schools," under the direction of Made moiselie MARIE CARPANTIER, the authoress of a work on those institutions which was approved by the French Academy. The following decree for the fusion of the depart mental banks with the Bank of France is published in the Afoxiteur of Saturday. It is dated the 27th : "Article 1. The Banks of France, of Rouen, Lyons, Havre, Lille, Toulouse, Orleans, and Marseilles, are united. " Article 2. The departmental banks above enume rated will continue in operation as branches of the Bank of France, conformably to the regulations stipulated in the decree of the 18th of May, 1808, and the ordonnance of the 25th of March, 1841. "The present number of the administrators of the departmental banks is maintained, as also the boards of discount, organized for the service of several of them. " The number of shares, the possession of which is at present required as a. guarantee from the directors, censors, administrators, and members of the councils of discount of those departmental banks, is provisionally maintained. " Article 3. The shares of those banks are annulled, and the holders shall receive in exchange shares of the Bank of France at a nominal value of I,ooof. for a ❑ominal value of I,ooof. " Article 4. In order to execute the above article the Bank of France is empowered to issue 17,200 new shares, which will increase its capital to 85,100 shares of I,ooof. " Article 5. By the cession of those new shares to the shareholders of the banks of Rouen. Lyons, Havre, Lille, Toulouse, Orleans, and Marseilles, the Bank of France shall become proprietor of the capital of those banks, and be made chargeable with their engagements. The reserve funds, existing in each of those banks, shall be added to the reserve fund of the Bank of France. The uniting of the landed and chattel pro perty, resulting from the present article, shall be sub jected to the fixed registry duty imposed on deeds of partnership. " Article 6. The Bank of France is authorised to add to the maximum of circulation, fixed by the decree of the 15th of March last, the maximum of the circulation fixed for each of the departmental banks by the decree of the 25th of the same month. " From the date of the promulgation of the present decree, the notes issued by the banks, incorporated with the Bank of France, shall be received throughout the Republic as a legal tender by all the branches of the public Treasury and private individuals. The holders f said notes shall have to present them to the Bank of France, or to its branches, within the following six months, in order to exchange them for notes of that bank. Beyond that period those notes shall cease to be current as a legal tender, but the Bank of France and its branches shall not be exonerated from the obligation of exchanging them. "Article 7.

" GARNIER PAGES It was reported on Sunday that the Provisions) Government had determined to postpone the meeting of the National Assembly, which at present is fixed for the 4th of May (Thursday next), for nine or ten days, on the ground that it is impossible for the re presentatives of the distant places to arrive in time in Paris. The measure is certainly not without good grounds, for the time between the election of the members and the meeting of the Assembly, which was in any case very short, has been still further cur tailed by the length of time required for the collecting and counting of the votes in the larger departments. Among the distinguished members of the late Cham ber of Deputies, whose return to the National As sembly is announced, is that of M. Durnf. He is the only eminent member of the Conservative party yet elected, if we except the Count DE MONTALEMBERT, whose return will be disputed.

The Allgemeine Preursische Zeitung, of the 27th ult., publishes a royal decree, according to which the national reorganization of the Grand Duchy GI Posen is to begin at once, now that the condition under which it was promised—namely, the peace and order of the provinces—is, in its most essential points, accomplished. Part of the former Netz district, and of the district of Snowraclaw, and the districts Birn baum, Meseritz, Bombst, Frandstadt, Samter, Buck, the western parts of the districts of Obernik and Posen, with the city and fortress of Posen, the southern parts of the districts of Kroben, Kro toscbin, and the city of Kemden, are to be ex cluded from the reorganization. These parts are to be incorporated with the Germanic Confederation. but the other parts of the Grand Duchy of '''sen will have a constitution of their own. The language of instruction and of the civil and law courts is to be Polish. All officers, judicial, military, or adminis trative, must be natives of the pro vince. The " Lan driithe " shall in future be elected by the inhabitants of the district, and the arms of the Grand Duchy will Poles be quartered with the arms of Prussia. The who live in the German parts and t he German resi dents are, lastly, called upon to divest their minds of all apprehensions for their religion, their property, or the safety of their persons. The order is dated the 26th of April, and signed by all the Ministers. The Chief President of the province has decreed the election of the delegates of the German districts for the Frankfort Assembly.
