It has come to the knowledge of the Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes that it is the practice of Shipmasters and others connected with the hiring of Sailors, to issue, upon Unstamped Paper, what are termed " Advance Notes," that is to say, an order to pay the Sailor hired a sum of Money (provided he sails by the ship named) in a cer tain number of days after the sailing of the vessel. This Bill .is en dorsed by the Sailor. By the Stamp Act, all such orders for sums amounting to 21. or upwards, are liable to the Stamp Duty on Bills of Exchange, and a Penalty of 50/. Is imposed on any person who shall make, sign, or issue, or cause to be made, signed, or issued, or shall accept or pay, or shall cause to be accepted or paid any such Bill of Exchange or Order not duly Stamped. Notice is hereby given, that it is the intention of the Commimion ors to prosecute for the penalty in question all persons who shall be found to Issue Bills of this description not duly Stamped, and that persons giving information of such evasions will be rewarded from any penalties which may be recovered.

The new Irish rebellion, after all, turns out to be little more than an organized system of robbery on a large scale. Heavy contributions are levied by and on behalf of the patriots, who make predatory excur sions from their mountain fastnesses, plundering the houses of all who have not joined in the movement, of money, arms, and provisions, and carrying off the flocks and herds of the farmers to feed their gallant associates at the camp on Slievenamon. Feast ing is the order of the day, and those who under ordinary circumstances enjoy a meal of meat but once or twice in the year, are now gorging themselves to repletion, day after day, with the finest beef and mutton, fattened in the rich meadows and fer tile valleys of Tipperary. This may not prove quite so satisfactory to the farmers. It would, no doubt, be very agreeable to meet the demands of the landlord, or the rate-collector, with assertions that the entire pro duce of their holdings had been carried off by the boys; that the wheat which had been threshed for market, and the fat cattle, by the sale of which the rent, rates, taxes, and other demands were to have been provided for, had supplied the commissariat of the national troops ; but the reality is not quite so pleasing—a few thousands of hungry men, whose appetites are sharpened by the keen air of the mountains, will re quire considerable supplies _of provisions to maintain them ; although they may in the first in stance be contented to prey upon the Saxon and the oppressor, their friends themselves must in time provide for their wants and exigencies. When a necessity arises they will not pause to in quire whether the devoted sheep are the property of friend or foe, of the supporters of the union, or of true and genuine Irishmen, but the leg or loin will be devoured with equal gusto, 'whoever may be at the cost of providing them. At present nothing can be pleasanter than the lives of the insurgents. Everything is " couleur de rose:' The weather is admirably suited for al fresco enjoy rents, and the I r i s h p easan t ry are at a ll t i mes ready sel enjoy the present moment witho ut troubling them ves very deeply as to the consequences of their frolic. But the day of retribution will speedily arrive, and then a very materialalteration 'll t ake place in their vwieiwths 1 and feelings. They will occa sionally me e t warm receptions, and no t b e permitted to carry off impunity. In their n e i g hb ours ' goods with place of of sheep, or a few s acks fat ox , h a l f a score ried oft; some eight 0 of corn being car - may chance t o remain o i n r n the t field, or to b e con en of th e p l underers i e veyed to durance vile to atone hy perpetual banishmen°tnrn el or N enag h for their v i o l ation for mutton. An or gani z A band of in h their plunderers taste y, and erers cannot e vic long continue to set th e l aw at defiance. T tints will speedily find it essent i al to brio tern to a termination gthe ir sYs. , and to put the police a military on the track of the cattle-stealers. Thnd will begin to think the cleitns of th e i r landlords les3s. difficult to be encountered than the unascertained and unlimited demand of the pikemen and riflemen, who may chance to bivouac in their vicinities. When the receipt of the half-year's gale is snugly de• posited in their pockets no new demand can be made on account of that rent, but it ii quite different with the armed bands who prey upon the country. It will not be received as a plea against any new contribu- tion that they supplied the wants of another party the preceding day. So long as anything is left it must be given up, and those who perhaps connived at the movement in order to defraud their creditors, may too late discover, when deprived of their all, with heavy liabilities still hanging over their heads, that " honesty would have been the best policy." Meanwhile the authorities are not idle. The police maintain the high character they so meri toriously earned for themselves, and have proved themselves equal to any force or body of men in any country of the world. It is more than probable that their numbers will be augmented in the dis turbed districts. Lord CLARBNDON is fully empowered to do so, to any extent which he may deem requisite, and the expense thereof will be levied on the parties who have con nived at or sanctioned the costs that rendered the expenditure necessary or desirable. The constabulary are infinitely better suited for the guerilla warfare that must now be carried on in the mountains than regular troops; they will be better able to obtain accurate information of the haunts of the bandits, to follow up the scent, and trace the outlaws to their dens, than their military associates. No time should be lost in putting down and punishing with the utmost stringency those who have transgressed the law, and set the constituted authorities at defiance. There can be no great difficulty in dispersing the predatory hordes who, undisciplined and unofficered, are follow ing their own wild fancies and rude counsels. The more speedily and effectually this is effected the better. Decision and energy in the first instance, and prompt and summary punishment, will save much trouble and expense in the long run ; and present severity will not only be a mercy to the well-dis posed and orderly inhabitants of the country, but even to the misguided men themselves, who are now running riot, and following the dictates of their own unbridled passions. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. In the National of Saturday morning appeared the following announcement : " The frightful conflict of June, the promulgation of certain social doctrines, the stat e f trade and the public misery, have produced, in certain departments, a blind reaction against the republican principle itself. It ap pears that General Cavaignac has thought it right to re sort to a measure calculated to enlighten the departments as to the real intentions of the National Assembly and the Government, of a nature, in a word, to correct de luded opinions. A certain number of the representatives, were, it is said, summoned to meet yesterday, at the residence of the Chief of the Executive Government, who requested them to accept a mission to the depart ments. The mission will, it is said, be entirely one of conciliation, and will also have for its object to obtain for the Government information as to the true state of opinion, and of the administration of the local authori ties." This statement was corroborated by the following paragraph, which appeared in the Journal des Debate of the same day : " The Government, in order to obtain an exact ac count of the respective strength of each party in France, has ordered to be drawn up, in every department, a general list of all the citizens who have been named members of the municipal councils, indicating the opinions of each. This demand, which is imposed with great urgency upon the prefects, lays down the four fol lowing categories—viz., Legitimatists, Conservatives, ardent Republicans, and moderate Republicans." The appearance of these paragraphs gave rise to an extraordinary scene in the Assembly on Saturday. During the earlier part of the sitting, while the ordinary routine business was being transacted, groups of Members were assembled around the bench of the Ministers engaged in very animated conversa tions with General CAVAIGNAC. The routine busi ness of the day having been concluded, and several unopposed Bills having been agreed to, TheVice-President (M. Pagnerre) said, M. Baze wishes to demand explanations from the Government.—(Marks of attention.) M. Baze—l wish to ask the Minister of the Interior to give the Assembly some information relative to a fact which has of late obtained some credit in private con versation, and still more from an article which has ap peared in a public journal of that morning. It stated that the President of the Council had come to the reso lution of sending into the departments a certain number of representatives for the double purpose of disseminat ing a true account of the views and intentions of the Administration, and to impart to the Government the precise condition of the public mind, and the real wants of the country. I wish to learn if this rumour is well founded.—(llear, hear.) M. Senard, the Minister of the Interior—l accept the interpellative, and reply at once. First, as to the fact itself; and next as to the motives which actuated us. As to the journal alluded to, he bad to declare that it was completely a stranger to the Government.—(oh, oh 0 A Voice—Why, it is the National! The Minister of the Interior—Well, since the journal was named, I have to repeat my phrase, and say, then, " completely a stranger to the Government." I declare that the National is quitti,independent of the Government, and takes its inspirations where it thinks fit; but cer tainly receives nothing from the Government.—(Marks of incredulity.) The Assembly must perceive that the Government, under a new state of things, was in a difficult position. Wo are in circumstances where time is precious, and where it is of the highest importance we should go quick, in order to arrive at that period when the whole of the Administration shall work well toge ther, for the purpose we all have in view—to cause the Republic to be beloved—to enable it to unite all opi nions under the Republican flag I To attain that result —before all—a good Administration, advancing well together, required. The new Government of neces sity has a personnel hostile to it; in many respects the officials had been appointed under the monarchy; with time, no doubt, the Republican feeling would prevail everywhere, but we have need to go rapidly. The new appointments had all been made as carefully as possible. —(Marks of dissent.) But we deem it necessary to have the precise spirit and views of the Government made known to the provinces, and to have at the same time au account, clear and impartial, of the state of feeling in the departments, and their wants. M. de Pelham de:nanded permission to reply. The Minister of the Interior—We want to ascertain not only are our instructions followed, but whether they are in accordance with the real requirements of the country. The Government has great need of accurate information on this subject.—(Agitation.) M. Charamante—But the National Assembly is surely something in all this.—(Loud approbation.) A Voice—The Assembly is here! Why not have ap plied to it?—(Great agitation.) The Minister of the Interior—The National Assembly is not only something, but is, in fact, everything in my opinion.—(Laughter.) We are nothing here except delegates, because we have had our power delegated to us by the Assembly, and what I am about to say will prove it. Where, in fact, ....it that we went to choube our agents for the purpose alluded to? In order to ob tain a complete and sure inspection, where could we ad dress ourselves but to the Members of the Assembly?— (Lively agitation, loud murmurs.) The Hon. Minister expressed his surprise at the uproar which his words had caused, and then went on to say that all the Mem bers of the National Assembly had been now for four months and upwards from their departments, and only knew what was going on by letters, often necessarily contradictory. The Government wished to see exactly what was going on, and it had believed that it could with perfect legality appoint Members of that Assembly, as one of its decrees authorised Members to accept extra ordinary missions. —(Great uproar.) The Government thought, in fact, that what it decided on was not only perfectly unobjectionable as a matter of administration, but the most respectful to the Assembly.—(Tremendous interruption.) A Voice—And the Assembly ? You cared nothing about it. You acted for a coterie. The Minister of the Interior said that the Government had applied to one of its members, a representative, who had helped to found the Republic, to aid them in so dif Souk a crisis. As to the word coterie, which had just been used, he had to say that the term was quite out 01 place, as not one of the appointments was yet known The Hon. Minister concluded by expressing a hope that the Assembly would approve of what had been deter. mined upon. M. Baze considered the course as highly objection able, first, as being unnecessary, and next, as disrespect ful to the Assembly. The proper mode of proceeding, he said, would have been to to apply in the usual man ner to the Assembly. Th e H on. Representative in sisted that the measure j us t a d opte d was highly dan gerous, inasmuch as it would be sure to produce dissen sion in the country. li e o bj ecte d strongly to the split ting up the Assembly i n t o f ract i ons —(oh, oh)—and A i n s t r s e o m d ü b c l e y d , t w o i e e v h e r a r e l pmembers w t haes wholeworthy denied that the missi on w hi ch the Government had ya, and ought not to be brok en up i n the midst t ional co the nt N r ofcounty, important discussions, to forwa r d any plan of the Ministers. M. Barrens defended the course adopted by the Go vernment, arguing that the moment was most favour able for the intended sending forth of reresentati and that as the Natio na l A ssem b ly had ,i p v ves, n the Government, wh a t th e Government d id' meustpborer to sup posed to emanate from the Assembly.--(Laughter.) M. de Falloux expressed an opinion that the inten ded course would cau se a profound perturbation i country. What! was not t h e R epublic yet n the founded? He thought it had b een a l rea d y f ounded threet on February 24, May 15, an d June 23,—(Hear T ea-- On this latter occasi on , w h en t h e provinces m h e e d ar t . o ) Paris, what did they bring—division, recrimination, a desire to injure? No, but assistance —the most precious of their resources.—(Loud applause.) What! wan a representative to enter his (31.de Falloux's) department, and after a fortnight or a month's stjourn there, pretend to know the real spirit which animated the population as well as he (M. de Falloux) who represented it?— (Hear, hear.) Again, were representatives to go on a roving commission 4hrough the country, with pay for their trouble out of the secret service money ?—(Agita tion.) The Minister of the Interior was then about to send off c mmissioners also, like one of his pro:it ces sors. Let him beware—commissioners were not in good odour. The Hon. Deputy proceeded for some time longer and concluded by saying that the whole proceeding was not a plain and open one, and sincerity and loyalty al ways went farther in France than talent.—(Loud ap probation.) The Minister of the Interior observed that the Go vernment had a duty to fulfil, namely, to direct public opinion. This was one of the chief objects of the present project. It was, besides, a great administrative act, and connected with high policy. lie trusted the Assembly would fully approve of what was intended—(Great agi tation). M. Besnard proposed the order of the day pure and simple.—(Renewed agitation.) M. Marie, the Minister of Justice, said the Govern ment intended to persist in its plan, and hoped that the Assembly would pass to the order of the day, but not until after a vote duly and formally explained—(Loud and long-continued agitation.) M. Pagnerre then left the chair, and the whole of the members collected in confused groups in the body of the House and under the tribune. The sitting remained suspended for upwards of twenty minutes, the Ministers having retired in a body from the Assembly the moment the sitting was suspended. At length M. PAGNERRE, one of the Vice-Presidents, having taken the chair, the sitting was resumed, and M. MAnnAsT proposed the follow ing order of the day motive—" The Assembly, after the explanation heard, leaving to the responsi - The Revue Retrospective has recently furnished us with various documents of singular interest and im portance. The private letters of Royal personages therein contained have enabled the uninitiated to get a glimpse behind the curtain, and discover the wheels within wheels which are the moving powers in all political machinery. But yet more interesting, infi nitely more interesting than any of these back-stairs revelations, is a paper lately published in the Revue Retrospective which has been very appropriately en titled " Vicissitudes of a Life." This document con sists of a chronological table of the chief events of Louis PHILIPPE'S life, drawn up by himself. The vicissitudes of that momentous life are al ready for the most part matters of history, they are already familiar to us all. Still, grouped together as they are in these notes-annales, their effect is startling in the extreme. The brevity of the entries greatly increases their impressive and almost appalling interest, as will be seen by a short epitome of the table :—"1773, 6th October, born at Paris-1782, education entrusted to Madame DE GENLIS-1785, the Prince receives his commission as Colonel-1792, April, his first battle; battles at Bossu and Quarignon —Sept., is made Lieutenant-General ; battle of Valmy—Oct., journey to Paris; the Prince joins DcMoualEz's army ; battle of Jemmappes—End of the year, the Duke of CHARTRES proceeds to Paris, and conducts his sister to Tournay. He endeavours in vain to persuade his father to retire to America -1793. The Duke rejoins the army; is obliged to seek refuge at the head-quarters of the Prince of Conußa, at Mons ; having refused to enter the Austrian service, starts for Switzerland. Leaves Bremgarten on a tour, on foot, alone, almost without money. The monks of St. Gothard refuse to admit him. M. DE MONTESQUIEU procures a situation for the Prince, under a false name, as professor in a college at Reichenau. He is then Mr. CORM—Nov. 6. The Duke of ORLEANS dies on the scaffold. The Duke of CHARTRES was at Reichenau. It is there that he inherits the title of Duke of ORLEANS.-1794. The Duke of ORLEANS and his sister leave Switzerland; Mademoiselle D'ORLEANS joins her aunt in Hungary, and the Prince intends crossing to America.-1795. Arrives at Hatnburgh. Not being able to carry out his plan of embarking: for America, makes a tour in the north, visits Copenhagen, Sweden, Norway, and Lapland. —zroo. Leaves Ltamburgh for America.-1797. The three brothers meet in the United States, and visit together the provinces of the Interior.-1798. Arrive at the Havannah, and are compelled to remain there more than a year.-1799. They are not allowed to take their departure for Spain.-1800. The brothers arrive in London. Interview of the Duke of OR. LEANS with the Comte D'Arerois (CHARLES X.) The brothers take a house at Twickenham, from whence they make excursions into the interior of England and Scotland.-1808. The Duke of ORLEANS pro ceeds to Messina. His marriage with the Princess MARIE AMELIE is spoken of. Is desirous of visiting Spain. Lands at Gibraltar. Is repulsed by English policy, and conveyed to England.-1809. The Duke presents himself at Palermo, at the Sicilian Court. His marriage is agreed on. Proceeds to Mahon, to fetch his mother. After sixteen years of separation, the mother, the son, and sister meet. The Duke espouses the Princess MARIE AMELIE of Sicily.- 1810. Visits Spain, at the solicitation: of the Cortes. During his absence, Duke of CHARTRES born.- 1814. On the first news of the Restoration the Duke of ORLEANS returns to France. Appears at the Tuile ries in the uniform or a French Lieutenant-General.- 1815. The Court sends the Duke to Lyons to concert measures for opposing the advance of NAPOLEON. Leaves France to join his family in England. Second sojourn at Twickenham.-1830. The Duke of OR LEANS, Lieut.-General of the Kingdom, chosen KING of the FRENCH." Here terminates the record, but any one familiar with the events of the last eighteen years can supply an additional list of circumstances almost as extraordinary and vicissitudes almost as appalling. At first the chronicle would speak of the pomp and power of royalty—unlimited confidence and submission on the part of the people, and an abundance of fair promises on the part of the Sovereign. It would tell of a King reigning under the happiest auspices, and a father blest in more than an ordinary degree by the number, and the talents, and the virtues of his children, " the only united royal family that ever was !" But mingled with these happy reminiscences would be a darker record. The occasional outbreaks of rebel- lion, the perpetual manifestation of popular discern ment, the infernal machine, and the names of FIESCRI and ALIBAUD, and their imitators would have to be introduced in a continuation of the chrono- logical table of Louts PHILIPPE'S career, Nor would the postscript be complete unless it unfolded the gradual metamorphosis of the " Citizen King"—the " King of the Barricades"—into the King of the Fortifications, and so on, until the entry -1848, which it is not necessary to fill up. Having added this postscript and reperused the entire list, is it possible to refrain from experiencing a sentiment of astonishment almost akin to awe that such vicissitudes should have been crowded into the life of one man ? The career of Louis PHILIPPE is indeed well calculated to " points moral and adorn a tale." We leave the latter task to the skill of the Marquis de la P;ii leterie ; the moral is too obvious to require expo. sition. He who runs may read the lesson illustrated by the career of Louis Panirrz—of Louis Pia LIPPE, who after having in his own person experi enced in the first revolution the fatal effects of a people's anger towards those who defrauded them of their rights—and after having, in the second revolution, enjoyed all the power and popularity voluntarily conceded to those who are deemed the people's friends, yet, deaf to the lessons of the first, and blind to the fair prospect unfolded by the latter, required a death in all cases. It arose on the szh Article of the Constitution : " Art. 5. The punishment of death is abolished in po litical matters." The President—On this article several emeedrnents have been presented. The most extreme one is that of M. Coquerel, which says, " the pueLlonent of death is abolished." M. Coquerel said that his amendment rc quired but a few arguments in its favour. They at); eareo to bet bese —That since cApital punishments had been abolished tor offences against the person, such offences had much declined; that it was to be contested that man had a right to take away the life of fellow-man; that the punishment of death did not correct—(Loud laughter)— did not correct by example; and that it cut man off from all opportunity of repentance. The Hon. Representative concluded by declaring that the new constitution could not bear a more noble mark of high morality than by adopting the principle which he advocated. M. Rablon examined the question on the points of its utility and its legality, and came to the conclusion that neither the one nor the other could be satisfactorily established. M. de Tracy also spoke at some length against the punishment of death. . M. Lagrange observed that the punishment of death was quite inefficient, inasmuch as it was not one which had any terrors for Frenchmen. M. Laboulie said, he should heartily support any amendment which would have the effect of doing away with the penalty of death. He wee convieced that the punishment of transportation, if properly carried jaw effect, would tend more to the repression of crime, and that was the sole object Of the lawn. Society had a right to defend itself, but not to act with vengeance. M. Vivien, in the name of the Committee, begged to explain the bearing of the vote W:'hich it had de manded from the Assembly. It had never been the in tention of the Committee, to oppose the abolition of the penalty of death in every case, and to place itself in opposition to the march of civilization, which evidently could not halt until it had attained that object. Ile only asked the Assembly to confine its vote to what was proposed by the Committee until the penal laws had been reformed, and the penitentiary system organized, when the work might be completed. It was with deep regret he felt himself compelled to oppose the generous sentiments he had heard expressed, but he believed that their adoption would be at present attended with danger to society, and that by removing that curb the door might be opened to fresh crimes, and disastrous consequences be produced. It was for that reason alone he felt com pelled to call for the rejection of the proposed amend ments. M. Victor Hugo said that a constitution made by and for the French people ought to be a forward step in civi • linden, and as the penalty of death was the special and permanent character of barbarism, it should be effaced from the code. The eighteenth century had had the honour of abolishing torture, let then the nineteenth have that of abolishing the penalty of death. He should, therefore, vote for the pure, simple, and definitive Isbell. non of that penalty.—(Hear hear.) , M. Aylies said that it was , certainly a painful thing to be compelled to say that circumstances of public safety might sometimes render it necessary for society to exact the sacrifice of life, but those who wished to remove that condition of order and security were, in fact, opposed to that progress which they wished to defend.—(Murmurs from the Left.) Ile could not understand those murmurs against a system of legislation which was accepted by all nations as a condition of civilisation.—(Renewed mur murs from the Left, and approbation from the Right.) The question, he said, was not new ; it had long occu pied the attention of the most eminent men. The strongest argument that had been brought forward against it was the fallibility of human judgment. Those certainly were very powerful considerations, but let those who brought them forward be candid, and say that it was not without great difficulty that one or two errors of the sort could be found in the course of a century. liven those, he admitted, were too many, and could not be too deeply regretted. Let those meu whose profes- sional duties brought them in contact with the greatest criminals be questioned on the subject, and they would say that amongst the most desperate it was only the penalty of death which made them hesitate, and that the dread of any other punishment had no effect on them. Let, then, the penalty of death be applied, but in par ticular cases ; but he must entreat the Assembly nut to vote its entire abolition. M. Victor ',Oran° said he considered the argument of M. Vivien of deferring the abolition of the penalty of death until the penitentiary system had been completed, as a reason why it should not be any longer maintained, and he should t h ere f ore vote f or the amenment. N. Freslon—ln ascending the tribune I yield to an absolute duty of conscience, for a man must have a very firm conviction to demand the maintenance of the terri ble punishment of death. But before the question of humanity comes that of security. We have been told that, is succession, the said punishment has almost dis appeared from oar various codes. That is true I and my opinion is that eventually, according as civilization ex tends and advances, this punishment will disappear alto gether. But I deny that the present moment is favour able for the purpose. Remember the dreadful murder committed some time back at Paris in the higher circles, and be certain that so strong is the feeling that death was deserved by the murderer in that case, that if the people found that death did not ensue, th, y would have exe cuted justice themselves. I do not believe that the public feeling in France is sufficiently prepared for the total abolition of this punishment ; and I am of opinion that if you vote in that sense you will leave the door open to numerous crimes. Loud cries here arose of " Adjourn, adjourn!"— " Monday, Monday!" The Assembly, being consulted, decided that the dis cussion should be proceeded with on Monday. The elections commenced in Paris yesterday, and as there 180 candidates it is almost impossible even to conjecture on whom success will ultimately fall. The votes of the army and of the Invalides have been already taken, and they are as follows : TOTES OF THE ARMY.

After some confusion this order of the day motive was agreed to without a division, and with all but unani- teines, held on Friday evening, after hearing the re ports of ten delegates, who had been sent by it on Wednesday into all the arrondissements of Faris, to ascertain, by visiting the committees and clubs, and the principal organs of the press, which list of can didat es the list wasl u ik lt e r l a-d yt e the electors pre omoerats, contend with advantage with sent came to a unanimous reso l ut i on t h at t h ey wou ld support MM.

A very numerous meeting of 'electors of the mo derate party was held on Saturday morning .in one of the rooms of the Bourse, for the purpose of decid ing as to the candidates to be supported at the present elections. After considerable discussion the names of several candidates were proposed and rejected, and the following were finally adopted, viz , Al t. FOULD. DELESSERT, and Marshal BUGEAUD. At the same time a meeting of the Socialist and ultra-democratic party was held in the hall of the Bourse. It was by no means numerously attended, but great violence was exhibited b y those who were present. It appe ars that Lows NAPOLEON BONAPART E ha s offered hi mse l f as a candidate for the depart men t o f the Nord, as well as for that of the Seine, and that the walls of Lille are covered with his placards, an nouncing that he will accept the representation it he should be elected. The Prefect of the Seine decided that the inscrip• tion lists for the election should not be closed till Saturday night at twelve o'clock throughout the department ; and that the balloting, instead of being closed at six o'clock on Monday, should remain open mite; M. BAzn having declared that he accepted the proposition of M. AIARRAST. Some few mem- hers of the extreme Left, among them MM. LEDRU ROLLIN and FLocoN, abstained from voting, but by far the greater part of them supported the motion. The Assembly then adjourned until Monday. Towards the close of the sitting on Friday the following interesting discussion was commenced on nine. The general scrutiny of the votes to be given M the present Pa r i s e l ection will be made on T hurs d ay, at the Hotel d e Vil le, by a general and public meet ing of all the mayors of arrondissements, hav i ng f or president th e sen i or in age. This sitting w i l l b e opened at nin e i n t h e morning. There was som e exc i tement in Par i s on S a t ur d ay night, but n o t more than is usually exhib i te d in revery great city on th e eve of a contested election. here was an att empt made to tear down a placard, ncom mending BLAa QUI as a candidate, which gave rise to some little c on f us i on, but the public tranqu illi ty was not interrupted. The polling went on stew lily during the whole of yesterday, and up to the hour the post left, Paris was perfectly tranquil. The conductors of the Legitimatiit organ the Memo - rial Bordelais, having with that delicacy of feeling that fine sense of Christian charity, and that sacred regard for truth which has ever characteried the parti pretre, thought proper to revive certain false and calumnious libels on the memory of the father of General the subject of the — abolition of the punishment of Trin STTN, LONDON, MON'DAY EvVNING. REPTEMiIVit le, Mitt CAVAIGNAC, hare been thus replied to by the General himself in the pages of the lionitcur : The Memorial Bordelais, in commenting on the re marks made by me in the National Assembly on the 2d inst., has considered it useful to the opinions which it represents to open its columns to an imputation long since refutt d relative to the political life of my lather. publicaion has taken place with an eagernes. which can be icadily understood on the part of the journals which, do not wish that any one should declare himself the irreconcilable enemy of those who seek to overthrow the Republic. My present reply will consist in the simple publication of the following documents:— I. Extract of the minutes of the sitting of the Na tional Convention on the 13th Prairial, An. 3 (Presided bl athieu). After having communicated the documents relative to the denunciations made against some members of the Convention, Citizen Durand Maillanne concluded by saying—" Cavaignae, who then presided at the popular society of Audi, is accused of having shared in the sen timents of either by replying to his motions, or by putting them to the vote." Hardy (Seine Inferieure)—After the reading of those documents, I demand the arrest of D. Some voices—And of Cavaignae. Rewbell—Those are only extravagant motions, and only - deserve to be treated with contempt. Boursault—lt is not only a motion tending to sacri fice the lives of a great part of the Convention—it is a criminal project, which deserves to be punished. I de mand the arrest. Clazel—l shall not defend D—, because it ap pears to me that no one can do so, but it is for Cavaignac that I shall speak. I know that he pre sided at the popular society of Auch at the time when D— made his execrable motions. I know that if he did not support them, he at least put them to the vote without opposing them ; but let us call to mind the time at which this took place ; we then groaned under the tyranny of Robespierre, and D— ' his Lieutenant in the Gvrs, would not h a v e h es it a t e d t o bring Cavaignac hither, bound hands and feet, it he had dared to oppose his atrocious propositions. It must not be concluded, because Cavaignac put them to the vote that he ap proved of them ; for we see every day that our Presi dent is compelled by the functions which he. fulfils to put motions to the vote which he cannot approve of ; witness our colleague Vernier in the evening of the Ist Prairial. No doubt can be consequently thrown on the probity and virtues of that respectable man. The probity and the habits of Cavaignae are equally well known ; it may be remembered that he was on a mission in the de partment of Britanny en the 31st May, and as soon as he learnt ,the news of that disastrous day, he made a protest which was published ; it was not applauding tyranny, or participating in its acts to protest against him who had founded it. It is besidei known how Ca vaignac conducted himself since the 9th Thermidor, and latterly with the army of the Rhine. Hardy—Well, then, we demand only the arrest of Rewbell—lf 1) made a motion to have a part of his colleagues executed, there is no doubt he ought to be provisionally arrested. But for Cavaignac-se— Numerous Voices—lt is not demanded that he should be arrested. DAmas—ln the days of the Ist, 2J, and 3d Prairial Cavaignac evinced the greatest courage; he never left me, and he perfectly seconded me in my painful and delicate functions— Several Voices—There is no question about Cavaignac. Dumont de Calvados—l wish also to say with regard to Cavaignac— Numerous Voices—There is no longer any question about him. Put the arrest of D— to the vote. The arrest of D— is decreed, and teals will imme diately be placed on his papers. 2. Extract from the minutes of the sitting of the Na tional Convention of the 27th Thermidor, An. 3. Lecomte—l do not see that the Committee has cora• municated all the denunciations which have been made, and particularly of two very strong ones against our colleague Cavaignac, which are common to him with Pinet, during their mission in the Pyrenees. At the period when this was published, it required a certain degree of courage for a person to show himself just towards a conventionalist. In 1844 the Quotidjenne reproduced the same calumny; my brother Godfrey obtained the following retractation: " In an article of the Quctidienne of the 21st May (the retractation was made on the 29th), we noticed the accu sation made against a Member of the Convention, M. Cavaignac, of having in the department of the Landes, imposed the dishonour of a daughter as the price of the safety of her father. M. Godefroy de Cavaignac, son of the conventionalist, saw in the two last lines of the article a personal confirmation given by us to the fact alleged. We confined ourselves to noticing the fact, according to a publication which was unknown to M. Cavaignac, jun. M. Cavaignac is right in reckoning our good faith, and we declare, with pleasure, that the explanations which have been given us, shows us in the most complete manner that the accusation was void of foundation." Boissy d'Anglas President—l demand to be heard ; I wi,h to oppose the propositions of Thibaut and Lecomte. That of Leconte, in the first place, because the denun ciation against Cavaignac was presented to the Conven tion in the first report of the Committee, made by Durand Maillsne, and that, on that ill-founded denun ciation, it passed to the order of the day. 3. Letter ~f M. Alexis Eymery, director of the Ma-- cure de France. to Mine. Cavaignac (published in the Moleiteur of 27th September, 1816). "Paris, 23d September, 1816. " Madame,—As you have proved to me the falsity of the imputation relative to M. de Labarrire and his den, hter, published in the article on your husband, in the small conventional biography of which M. Beptistin de Moulie:ts is the author, aid as nothing appears to he more just than Sou den:tied, I hastened to cause the rec tification of that error which was commited in works printed previously to that of M. de Mnuliere's. If my letter can be of any service to you I willingly consent to your making it public by inserting it in the journals. "A. EYMEItY." It is certain that Mlle. Labar►ere, who, according to biographies, bad disappeared from Dax some days after the death of her father, and had never afterwards been seen, had, in fact, never quitted llax. She there con tracted a very honourable marriage, and, in 1835, her son, by this marriage, protesting by his conduct against a calumny which had fallen upon his mother as well as upon my own father, gave spontaneously to my brother Godefroy his assistance as advocate in the prosecution before the Chamber of Peers, and founded this oar of his setvices upon the r,ecessity of a mutual refutation of ar, atrocious imputation. (Signed) General E. CAVAIGNAC. We give the above for the purpose of impressing on the mind of the English public that it is necessary to receive with the greatest caution the statements the French Legitimatists and Jesuits who have taken refuge in this country. They make no scruple of repeating a fifty-times refuted falsehood, if by so do ing they can inflict pain or injury on a political opponent. The Moniteur announces that M. DE THOM, Chan cellor of the Austrian Embassy, has sent to M. BAs- TIDE his credentials as Chargé d'Affaires for Austria to the Republic. The Moniteur publishes a decree of the Executive Government removing_a duty imposed by a decree of the Executive Committee, on the 17th June, 1848, on iron castings of all kinds and on copper and zinc. The Moniteur also publishes the decree for the alterations in the decoration of the Legion of Honour. According to this, the"crown which surmounts the star is suppressed ; the centre of the star will present on one aide the head of BONAPARTE, with the exergue —Bonaparte, Premier Consul, 19th Mai, 1802 ; and on the other, the two flags, which are now placed on it, with this exergue— Republique Francaise, and in the centre—Honneur et Patrie. The star of the grand officer and grand cross is to bear the effigy of BONAPARTE. with the exergue of Bonaparte,Premier Consul ; Honneur et Patrie. M. FREDERIC DE RAUMER on Friday handed to General CAVAIGNAC a letter from the Archduke JOHN of Austria, announcing to the Government of the Republic that the Diet of Frankfort had placed in his hands the central and federative Government of Germany. M. DE PONTECOULANT, 55 years of age, was on Friday brought to trial before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, on the charge of, whilst acting as a public functionary, taking away papers from the Tuileries. On the 24th February, M. DE PONTECOULANT, after combatting on the Place du Palais Royal, entered ;he Tuileries. with the people, and found in some a ,he apartments, ekpeFially those of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, the most frightful disorder, the floors being strewed with maps, books, letters, and papers torn to pieces. A large quantity of rum Sad been found and consumed by the people in the PRINCE'S apartments. Some days later the prisoner went to M. ARAGo, Minister of Marine, and represented to him the importance of saving the maps, scientific memoirs, and valuable papers. M. ARAGO accord ingly gave him and another person a mission to col lect all such papers as concerned the marine depart ment, and the Prefect of Police also gave him a mis sion to classify the papers. The prisoner sent upwards of 350 packages of papers to the Marine department, and a considerable number to the War depat tment. After his bring entrust ad with this mission, the Provisional Government learned that the prisoner had been to London, and had give❑ up to the Prince de Joinville the deed relative to the property of the Princess in Brazil. On this, a search was made in his house, and a number of letters written to or by members of the Royal Family, and a book called " Ilistoire de l'Or- I leanais," belonging to the library, were found. Some time Pftn - , a newspaper, called the Dmpeau de la Re publique, announced that it would puidish, under the a•.l - title "Portefeuille de Louis PHILIPPE," a series of etters and documents calculated to excite public cu- riosity to the highest degree. A search for these papers was made by the authorities in the offices of the newspaper, but without success. The printer of the paper, however, declared that M. DS DDIVISCOU LANT had eommunic,ltei to him a letter from the Puke DE NEMOLLS the Prince DE JOINVILLE, dated 16th May, 1847, an anonymous note recommending the KING to get rid of certain Lieutenant-Generals, a letter from the KING to General SEBASTIANI, rela tive to the marriage of Queen VICTORIA, a memoir addressed to the KING in 4630 by 111. ST. ALBIN, containing political advice, and a letter from the KING to the POPE on the latter's refusal to sanction the promotion of a clergyman to the episcopacy. The prisoner admitted that he had taken away papers belonging to the Prince DE Joist- VILLE, but said it was on the 24th February, before he was entrusted with any mission. A sentinel had allowed him to pass with them without difficulty. He also admitted that he had found diamonds belong ing to the Princess, as also the deeds of her Brazilian property. Ile took the papers and objects belonging to the PRINCE to Brussels, to deposit them in a place of safety ; but he insisted that he did so before he was officially entrusted with the task of arranging the papers. Ile subsequently went to Claremont, and gave up the deeds and papers belonging to the PRINCE and the PRINCESS. Ile took great interest in the .VRINCE because? his Royal Highness had been good to hint. lie denied that he had communicated any documents to the newspaper, except a letter written by the PRINCE in 1837, in which he predicted w hat happened in 1848. The note relative to the generals he had found on the ground, and as it was not signed, he saw no impropriety in publishing it. He had since learned that it had been drawn up by a general. The papers he had now in his possession were a letter from the Princess Dx JOINVILLE and another from Queen VICTORIA to Mme. ADELAIDE, the latter expressing congratulations on the birth of the Count DE PARIS. After a speech from the pri soner's counsel, the Tribunal announced that it would pronounce judgment on Tuesday. In the Passage of the Opera yesterday a considerable number of spectators assembled, and a large amount of business was done below the closing prices of yes terday at the Bourse. At one time the Five per Cents. were as low as 68f. 50e., but they closed at 61f. 60c. The Nouvelliste of Marseilles says :—" The steamer Hellespont left Marseilles a few days ago and touched at Toulon, where she embarked in the arsenal a quan tity of muskets and gunpowder, which she is to deposit at Malta. We are assured that these arms and ammunition are intended for the Sicilians." BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, SErr. 16.

Their contents are unimportant. General CORDOVA had set out from Madrid for Catalonia. PORTUGAL. We received advices from Lisbon of the 10th, by the steam-ship Jupiter, which arrived at Southampton on Saturday. An order had been issued on the 7th to place ships coming from England under quaran tine, in consequence of a rumour that the cholera had appeared in London ; but it was rescinded on the following day. Lisbon and Oporto were tranquil. It was reported that COSTA CAUSAL was about to be sent as ambassador to Madrid. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. A Vienna letter of the 10th in a Brussels journal says—" The answer of the EMPEROR to the Hunga rian deputation was so unsatisfactory that these gen tlemen took their departure yesterday for Presburg in two hundred public carriages, having previously stuck the red feather in their hats as a sign of their separation from Austria. They will, in all pro bability, this day proclaim a Dictatorship in Hun gary." A Vienna letter of the 9th says—" Yesterday the physicians of the municipality reported the deaths of two persons from the Asiatic cholera in the suburb of Leopoldstadt, but without having received any me dical attendance." Th 4 Breslau Gazette of the 12th states, from Vienna, that the news of the departure of the Sardi nian fleet from Venice had not been confirmed. HUNGARY AND CROATIA. A letter from Pesth of the 7th, in the Breslau Ga zette, says :—" The accounts we receive from the theatre of war are more favourable. Colonel Kiss, who had put the insurgents to the rout at Perla3s, has taken possession of the town. The inhabitants came out to meet him. There were found in it 30 quintals of gunpowder and 10 cannons. The intervention of France is still relied upon. Near this town there is being formed a camp of 12,000 National Guards. AGRAM, SEPT. 7.—The BANN arrived here again yesterday, and set off almost immediately for Waras din, in order to advance into Hungary, at the bead of 56,000 men. The Mobile Hungarian National Guard at Warasdin at once dissolved itself. The Hamburgh Borsen.haile of the 15th contains the following intelligence from Vienna :—" We have just received information, by a courier from Pesth, of the resignation of the Hungarian Ministry. Only KOSSUTH and SZERNOU have retained their pirte feuilles. The former has been charged with the for mation of a new Cabinet.." At Pesth and Ofen tranquillity prevailed. The BANN issued two proclamations on his crossing the Drave, the one addressed to the Hungarian nation, and the other to the Hungarian army. In these he asserts he has merely taken up arms against the malicious party, whose object is the dissolution of the Austrian monarchy. AUSTRIA. VIENNA, SEPT. 10 . —Great ferment and disquietude prevails here since the night before last, caused by illegal and wholly unjust pretensions of some share holders who had been duped, by private speculations in the stocks, and who are joined by a large body of the people. Last night the National Guard was obliged to occupy the various places of the city, where these rioters were exciting tumults till after mid :ight. While lam writing this the National Guard has again been had in requisition, and if they do not succeed in putting down these excesses by gentle means, a bloody conflict is inevitable, as the forbear ance and self- denial of the National Guard is almost worn out. The whole seems to be the work of ma licious instigators, who have merely made the joint stock company the pretext for these excesses. SEPTEMBER 12. The tocsin is being sounded in all the streets. A speculator, of the name of SUGBADOR, had established a company, the object of which was a mutual aid association. The shares were no sooner in ci:culation than unfavourable reports were spread, and a run was made on the bank. An excited body of men hastened last night to the residence of the Minister of the Interior, DonLnorp, who immediately caused large placards to be po s t e d, i n w hi c h h e not on l y gave every quiet ing as surance, b ut even guaranteed tumults partbroke indemnity; notwithstanding, fresh found thei r of the out this mo rn i ng .

The Diet will not sit to day. The Radical party is developing itself with more energy than ever, and democratic and republican meetings are gaining ground. The iatelligence received from Hungary is silent respecting the return of the deputation to Pesth. The storm i s , h owever , b roo di ng.
