A strange spectacle is visible at this moment in Pavis—a spectacle not only str ange b u t inexpressibly touching. There is a man in that capital of frivolity and revolutions, who has within the compass of a f e w weeks experienced all the perils and vicissitudes of statesmanship. Yesterday he was revered almost to idolatry; to-day he is shunned as if the touch of his hand, or the sound of his voice were contami nation—Yeterday he was the glory of the Republic; to-day he is its victim, its suspected, its outcast, the ob)ect against which all the jealousies of faction, all the rancours of party, all the calumnies of hatred, all the insinuations of envy, all the ribaldries of abuse, and all the lies of political audacity are directed as agai rst one common object of scorn—the opprobrium of France, and the derision of her children. Who :is this man? He is the poet whose soul was in torica, ted with the beauty of Freedom, and from whom, i , , N . . THE SUN, L01,47D0N1 lips came those words of eloquence which only a day or two back thrilled through the heart of Christen dom. Every citizen in France felt the sincerity of till., man's enthusiasm—it was attested, indeed, by the purity, the consistency, and the dignity of a whole life. Every citizen in France, moreover, recognised the splendour of this man's genius—it was visible not only in the " guinea-stamp" of popularity which is ephemeral, but in those golden creations of poetry, of oratory, and of history which are all of them, when lifted above a certain elevation, eternal. Knowing these things, France responded to the call of LAMARTINE ; she saw him, with that courage which belongs alone to true heroism, flinging back the red flag in the teeth of a rabble, infuriated by the delirium of success—she heard him apostrophise that tri-colour which had made the tour of the world, and which he defended at the risk of his life, because in it be beheld the symbol of liberty, of equality, and of fraternity—she saw him, with the pikes and bayonets of the mob brandished over his head, defying, repelling, and ultimately conquering with his single voice the defenders of communism, of terrorism, of anarchy, of bloodshed, and of spoliation. France saw and heard all this—she recognised on the instant the sincerity, the genius, the goodness, the patriotism, and the devotion of LAMARTINE—she felt that he, above all other men, was THE MAN of the Revolution, THE MAN calculated to become the first statesman of the Republic, and the one to whom she might with confidence entrust the sacred responsi bilities of Government. Animated by these emo tions, France raised LAMARTINE to supreme power on the shield of the national gratitude. What was more, she obeyed the inspirations of his humane and poetic eloquence ; she sacrificed a century of ven geance to the magnanimity dictated by emancipa tion—she abolLbed capital punishment for political offences, and virtually by that act exorcised the ghastly demon of the guillotine; she decreed the illegality of negro slavery in the French colo nies ; she offered the hand of peace and friendship to the nations of Europe, and aban doned that old ambition of conquest which was un suited to the epoch, now that the march of armies had become incompatible with the march of civili zation. By these noble and generous proceedings was the young Republic of 1848 inaugurated, and its inauguration was effected under the immediate auspices and guidance of LAMARTINE. Europe per ceived all this, and her different Cabinets respected the Provisional Government of February, a Govern ment which must inevitably, under other circum stances, have been exposed to the miseries of suspicion and the dangers of intrigue. Paralysed and darkened as her judgment was for the time being by the torment of her late tremendous struggle, France like wise saw all this as clearly as the Cabinets of Europe. And how did France evidence her sense of the brilliant and glorious services of her Great Citizen ? By an ovation of three months' duration, such as no man without the prestige of military gran deur has ever received either before or since. She exhausted her vocabulary of panegyric in singing his eulogiums, and displayed the love and admiration with which she regarded him by depositing in the urns of election upwards of three millions of votes. And it is against this man—" under whose nostrils," to use an expression lately uttered by the Semaine, " she had recently burned the last grain of her in cense"—it is against this man that the slanders of all parties in the Republic are now directed, as by a species of infamous unanimity. It is upon his head that the jealousies of all— Legitimists, Communists, Bonapartists, Orleanists, Bourbonists, the amariert, the bourgedkisie, and the aristocrats—are being poured out today like ashes! It is against him that the obloquies of the Parisians are being thrown unstintingly, as if to afford to future historians a new and unparalleled example of the mu tability of political fortunes, of the vicissitudes of popularity, and of the fickleness of the people. But there are doubtless reasons for this sudden change in the opinions of French citizens. 0 yes, there are reasons. When it was said after the first insurrection that LAMARTINB had conspired with the insurgents of the 14th of May, LAMARTINE himself answered that accusation from the tribune of the National Assembly. He said—everybody remem bers it—" Yes I haw conspired with those men, I have conspired with them as the lightning conductor conspires with the thunder cloud 1" The metaphor was splendid, and has been verified by events. The lightning conductor of the Revolution, otherwise the fame of LAMARTINE, has been melted, warped literally blasted by carrying off the terrible electricity of the conspiracies. To shield France from peril, the poet statesman called down upon his own head the lightnings of terrorism. LAMARTINE has secured the salvation of the Republic, but only by the sacrifice of his immense and magnificent popu larity. As has been nobly said already of this great man, by one speaking from the opposite side of the Channel—" M. DE LAMARTINE was not actuated by ambition—he was a patriot to the extent of self sacrifice—he consented, with his eyes open, to psi cerise hi* name, in order that he might preserve the National Assembly." That is the explanation of this otherwise inexplicable problem, that is the solution to the enigma of the downfal of the Executive Com mission, that is the clue which can alone guide our reason through the labyrinth of these extraordinary and bewildering occurrences. Hitherto there have been only whispers and inuendoes in depreciation of LAMARTINZS character— and in allusion to these same whispers and inuendoes he has himself written thus to the ComatiNtionnel— " There is no answer—there is only a cry of indigna tion which rises from the bottom _of my soul, and which I pray you simply to register." Ultimately the truth will be revealed ; but meanwhile to AL PHONSE DE LAMARTINE himself, in the midst of his undeserved desolation, we can fancy that that mourn ful verse must sometimes recur which he wrote in the Garden of Gethsemani, on the death of his young daughter— " Je fus des la ntomelle un hamme de douleur ; Mon ccrur, au lieu de sang, ne route que des larnses, Oa plut6t, de ces pleurs Dieu m'a ravi les choruses, Il a petrffie les larmes Bans mon cceur ; L'amertuzne est mon mid, la tristesse est ma joie .i Un instinct fraternel ne attache a tout cerceuil, Nul cheminne m'arreta, a mins que je n'y vole Quelque ruine ou quelque deuil f' If we may gather sermons from stones and good from everything, it is not surprising that the dates in the almanac, as they are successively pointed out to us by the silent finger . of Time should be fraught with a peculiar and significant importance. Ever and anon the recurrence of some particular day calls up a crowd of historical reminiscences associated with it, and noiselessly reads us a lesson on the mutability of human fortunes. This has been, latterly, in an especial manner the case with regard to France, where extraordinary political vicissitudes have invested particular anniversaries with an unusual interest. For example, the beginning of the month of May exhibited to us the Young Republic of France weeping over the tomb of the Empire, and now the beginning of July, fraught with similarly mournful souvenirs recalls the time when, as Mr. Mr. SMYTHE has eloquently sung, " One common woe had made two rivals friends," and England and France, forgetting their then hostility, mingled their tears over the grave of ORLEANS. Seven years have elapsed since the son of Louis PHILIPPE was snatched away by a violent and premature death from his father and his family, and his promised crown. Seven yearshave passed away since that mournful procession trod the road to Neuilly, when a royal family, forgetting their royal estate, walked humbly along the high road following their beloved dead. That royal family wept not as ordinary parents, and brothers and sisters weep, th e i r sorrow was augmented by the peculiar position o f him they mourned. What unutterable anguish thrilled the old man's heart as he wept, a father for his son, and a sovereign for his heir. How much of parental tenderness and hopeful ambition were buried in that young grave may be learned from the fond pride and partiality revealed in the bereaved mother's ejaculation—" What a misfortune is this for (trance !" That was the mainspring of their grief, ORLEANS would never be King of FRANCE. Alas, fur the blindness of human prescience 1 They wept that ORLEANS was lost to France, never dreaming that if he had lived France would be lost to ORLEANS. Nevertheless, although that great cause of his sorrow is now removed, the anniversary of his 801111 death will inevitably be peculiarly grievous to Louis Pun'Pre; this will be the first occasion since his unhappy death, that the father and ; family of the Duke of ORLEANS will have failed to commemorate that unhappy day, by paying a visit to his tomb and honouring his memory, and evincing , their affection by the performance of solemn funeral rites. The sorrows of the great—of the so-caled great—seem to be invested with a peculiar interest, they constitute that" touch of nature" which "mares the whole world kin." When a king weeps as a man every man recognizes in him a brother, and sorrows for him with a brother's sympathy. Loves PnILIrF has already experienced this—he has exie rienced it, to quote again from Mr. SMYTHE, " By our own England's wail o'er his young dead;" and he may rest assured, as the melancholy anniver sary approaches, that the people of England and d France also sorrow for the agony of his father's heart, as truly as they rejoice in the disappointment of hi: monarch's ambition. As we said at the commencement of these remarks, the dates of the almanac are without doubt most significant and most suggestive. Here, for instance, in the approaching anniversary of the death of him who was the supposed future King of France, what an admirable text is afforded for a lecture on the instability of human hopes—a subject, however, which scarcely requires new exemplification, for it is almost daily suggested to us in some conspicuous manner. If some new FENELON were now desirous of instructing those young Princes, whose brows may hereafter be girded with a diadem, however attractive and appropriate a theme might be afforded by the early death of the Duke of ORLEANS, cut off in the morning of life and the full bloom of hope, we are inclined to think, nevertheless, that the royal mentor would have little occasion to cite examples from among the dead, when there are those now living whose very existence conveys an invaluable les son to Princes anxious to learn how to reign. What, for example, could be more sugges tive, under such circumstances, than a glance at the position of the three young heirs or pretenders to the French crown now existing ? The young Bourbon, who deems it his by hereditary right; the young BONAPARTE, who aspires to it by in herited right of election ; and the young ORLEANS, who may claim it in right of his grandfather's recent possession. The princely scholar will not require the wisdom of a FENELON nor the wit of a MACHIAVELLI to instruct him when such examples are before his eyes to teach him by unmistakeable signs that a royal pedigree, or a glorious name, or an unquestioned right of inheritance, are in these times quite insuffi• cient to invest their possessor with the insignia of royalty in defiance of the popular will. The popular will is now the custodian of crowns and sceptres, and that popular will is only to be bribed into complai sance by a devotion to the popular rights. Had the old Bourbons been but half such zealous sticklers for the popular rights as they were for the regal prero gatives, the fiemr-de-/i8 would have flourished in France under the guardianship of HENRY V., while, it the Citizen KING had manifested in preserving these popular rights one particle of the anxiety with which he once courted the popular will, without doubt the Count of PARIS might have realised those hopes which now lie buried in the tomb of the Duke of ORLEANS. The lesson suggested by these indis. putable facts is worthy of the consideration of both People and Princes. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The Journal det Debcds publishes the letter from M. DE LAISARTINE which appeared in The Sifil of Saturday, in reply to the charges brought against the late Provisional Government, and also the follow ing letter from MM. GARNIER PAGES and PAG- NERRE :- "Paris, July 6. "Sir,—Your journal of the day before yesterday con tains an article which we cannot suffer to remain unan swered. As long as we formed part of the Government we thought it necessary to maintain silence in presence of all the attacks of the journals. At present our duty is to reply when facts are disfigured, and when public opinion may be set astray to the detriment of order and truth. We consequeutly declare to you that all the details contained in your article tn a plan of barricades which the Provisional Government are said to have ar ranged against the National Guards, and which the insurgents of June borrowed from it, are all false. We give the most formal contradiction to all the statements yuu have made on that head. We pray you, in the in terest of the public, still more than in ours, to publish this declaration in your next number. " Accept, Sir, the assurance of our distinguished con sideration. " GARNIER PAGES. " PAGNERRE." To these denials the Journal des Debuts makes the following reply : " We fully admit the double contradiction of M. de Lamartine and of M. Garnier Pages, and we are happy to register it; only it comes somewhat late, and it is not to us that it ought to be addressed. If we have been led into error, it is by a journal which has always defended M. de Lamartine, which defends him still, and which M. de Lamartine has more than once made the depository of his thoughts, the Bien Public. The following is the manner in which that j ourna l expresse d i tse l f on July 2, in en article on the insurrection of June:—' Now to this vague, confused, undetermined, and undisciplined army of the agitation must be added the reinforcements which the Republic was sure to furnish. First of all, the barricade bataillon. After the revolution of Fe bruary, in the midst of the apprehensions of the victors, and in the fear of an offensive reaction of the monarchy, a corps was formed, charged to study the formation of barricades, their military arrangements, their inclination, the strategic points, where they ought to be raised and connected together .in all the streets, in all the open places, and at all the barriers. A map of detached torts by the aid of paving -stones, and in the interior of Paris, was drawn up, sh own , and taught to a company o f m en who had almost all passed through the baptism of insurrection, but, when the danger was dissipated, this company was dissolved ; in place, however, of dis persing, it remained organised, and passed almost to a man to the party of the insurrection.' Did we say any thing else? A body has been formed, called the barricade bataillon, in the fear of an offensive re-action on the part of the monarchy. That body had been charged to study the whole strategy of barricades; maps were prepared for its use; the warfare of the streets was taught to these men. The corps was, in truth, dissolved, but it re mained organized, and passed almost to a man to the side of the insurrection. Once more ; it is the Bien Public, the journal of M.de Lamartine, which so expressed itself in its number of July 2, and no one lent it a contradic tion. Will it be said that we added that this battalion had been formed under the auspices of the Government? But is it not evidently what results from the article in the Bien Public;? A body was formed and organized— by whom? It had been charged with the task of study ing the strategy of barricades—by whom ? A map was drawn up for its use—by order of whom ? It was after cards dissolved—by whom ? We believed, and we were justified in believing, that the barricade ba talion was of the same nature as so many other irregular bodies, such as the corps of montag nards, for instance, the formation and existence of which the Provisional Government, without any doubt, was aware of and tolerated. In making these observations our object is to place our sincerity under cover, and by no means to call in question the contradic tion of M. de Lamartine and M. Gamier Pages. We were mistaken; so much the batter! We regret only one thing—that a rectification which it was so easy to address to the Bien Pailie did not prevent our error. Without doubt it is, not to us that M. de Lamartine makes allusion in speaking of the madness of calumny. We have been often calumniated in the most odious manner; we never calumniated any one, and M. de La martine less than any other! Men calumniate those wnom they hate; we do not hate M. de Lamartine—we pity him. What his position might have been, and what it is, only produces in our mind one sentiment—that of a deep and bitter grief r M. MARIE has, as a member of the late Provisional Government, also addressed a note to the journals, denying all knowledge, on his part, of the existence of a " Battalion of the Barricades." In the sitting of the Assembly on Friday, General CAVAIGNAC announced that the state of siege in Paris would continue for some little time longer, and that there were 50,000 troops of the line in Paris and its neighbourhood. In the same sitting the law for re imbursing the holders of Treasury bonds, and the depositors in the savings' banks, was passed. The savings' banks depositors are to be paid in Five per Cent. Stock, at 80 ; and the Treasury bond holders in Three per Cent. Stock, at 55. The Gazette des Trilrunatio gives the following, on the subject of the rumoured " infernal machine" plot for the assassination of General CATAIGNAc " \\re will not make ourselves the echoes of the alarm ing rumours to which the change in the programme of the funeral ceremony in honour of the defenders of public , order ? wh o f e ll v i ct i ms i n the insurrection of n June, asgiven rise i n P ar i s . I t appears t h at nume rous warnings, emanating from different sources, but reaching the authorities too late to make it possible to verify the exactitude is a sufficiently complete manner, caused it to be feared than an attempt of the nature of that of Fieschi might be directed against the Members of the National Assembly. Such, it is said, was the motive which caused that of the programme relative to thegemoral of the bodies of the Tictims from the Place de MON'DAY EVENING, JULY 10, 184 ft la Concorde to the Bastile, by the line of the Boule vlrds, to be abandoned. We know not what foundation there may be in the rumours which have circulated on the subject—rumours exaggerated as usual, and to such an extent that nothiug less was talked of than that whole quarters wure mined, and were to be blown up with the Executive Government, the Assembly, the magistracy, and all the bodies forming part of the cor tege. What appears certain is, that the very minute and very extensive investigations that have taken place have produced no serious result, and that if numerous arrests were effected on Thursday and yesterday, they arose from precautionary circumstances." GENERAL DUVIYIER died of his wounds on Friday evening. Attempts at assassinating isolated sentinels continue to be made by the defeated Communists. On Friday night a sentinel posted at the Chateau Rouge was fired at and wounded. He returned the fire, and shot the assassin dead. The sentinel has since died of his wounds. Trade and commerce seem reviving. The Consti tutionnel says— " We have the satisfaction of being able to announce that building. works are not the only ones that have been resumed. Various establishments have recommenced work. Laborious workmen appear already restored to their habits and to the confidence which united them to their employers. The country districts in the neigh bourhood of Paris also see a number of men returning, who hid gone to seek for better wages in the capital. The result will be that this year it will not be necessary to hare recourse to foreign aid for certain harvest work, such as mowing, for instance, which is generally executed )y Belgian woikrnen." _ We - mentioned on Saturday the fact that the fmeral of the Archbishop of PARIS had taken place oi Friday at Notre Dame. The clergymen of the two Protestant churches of the capital expressed a desire to be present at the funeral of the Archbishop of PARIS, and so to pay a just homage to his memory. They charged their colleague, M. COQUEREL, to wait on the Abbe J,QIJEMET, first grand-vicar, to express to him the sentiments of the Protestant clergymen, and to inform him 13! their intention to follow the funeral proces sion from the palace to the cathedral, if he could assign them a place, which should conciliate the scruplps of their faith with the rules of Catholic wor ship. The Abbe JAQUEMET received M. COQUEREL most politely, but expressed his regret that the Ca tholic religious ceremony being fixed both for the moment of taking up the body and during the pas sage to the church, it became impossible to assign a place 5 the clergy of the Protestant communions. The Grand Vicar charged: M. COQUEREL to ex press 5 his colleagues how grateful he felt for the homage which was thus paid to the memory of the deceased prelate. 31-1. SIROURE, Bishop of Dijon, is to be the new Archbishop of Paris. The funeral of M. DE CHATEA.I3IIRI AND took place on Saturday in the church of the Missions Etran geres, in presence of the members of the French Academy, and an immense concourse of political and literary notabilities. Messrs. Hyde de Neuville, Talaru, Ampere, and Rosambeau, held the pall, and among the assistants were Prince Caartorisky, Messrs! Mole, Decazes, Beranger, Berryer, Dupin, Victor Hugo, Balzac, Alexandre Dumas, &c. M. Patin! director of the French Academy, pronounced the funeral oration of the illustrious deceased, and his remains were afterwards deposited in the vaults of the church, from whence they are to be removed to St. Malo, where they are to be interred on one of the arid and solitary rocks situ ate at the entrance on the roads. The Assembly did not meet on Saturday, but se veral important discussions took place in the Bureaux. The question of "Two Chambers" was very warmly discussed in several of the Bureaux on the constitu tion, and in the 14th it was carried by 26 against 10• The 13th Bureau unanimously resolved to remodel l the preamble of the constitution as follows :—" The ! Republic recognizing for its dogma liberty, equality and fraternity, and for its basis family, property and public order." In the 10th Bureau M. CORMENIN proposed the ap pointment of a permanent Committee of 78 to repre sent the Assembly during its adjournments. The Committee of the National Assembly on labour have resolved that individuals who, by ill-treatment, menaces, or acts of intimidation, should attempt to prevent labourers from working, or masters from employing labourers, should be liable to an imprison ment of from six days to six months, and to a fine of from 25f. to 500 f. Their accomplices are to incur the same penalty. The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce has addressed to the Prefects of the departments a cir cular, in which he recommends them to do every thing possible for the encouragement of agriculture. He says— " The greatest part of the glorious mission of conso lidating social order, which has been assailed by insen sate doctrines and uttacks, has now devolved upon agriculture. To combat the force of attraction exer cised by towns over the rural districts, to regulate the rash movement which takes from agricultural industry and gives to manufactures a force, the exuberance of which, at certain moments, causes financial crises and sanguinary collisions; to direct to each branch of labour the true degree of activity required, with a view to the benefit of all and the amelioration of each, such is the object proposed by my department, and for which your co-operation is called for." The national workshops for women were included in the decree dissolving the establishments generally in the department of the Seine. Twenty-five thou sand women are thus left without occupation. The resources left at the disposal of the mayors are insuf ficient to give them the succour which they are entit led to, that succour consisting of two pounds of bread each per day, whatever may be the family of the women so receiving aid. This state of things has caused about 400 of these women to wait on the Mi nister of Public Works to demand assistance. M. RIICURT, having learned that several of them had large families, led them to hope that the propositions which he intended snaking in their favour to the Committee of Labour would be approved of, and that the workshops might be again opened. The National publishes the following letter from M . D oRNES , representative of the people : " The Republic, through the National Assembly, has charged itselt with the families of the citizens killed and wounded for the defence of order and the laws; and if I have regretted my wound, it was when it prevented me from being at my post, to associate myself with a mea sure which honours so many generous devotednesses, which recompenses so many noble services rendered in concert by the National Guard, sedentary and mobile, and by the army. But, this debt being paid, as it ought to be, by the country, do not misfortunes to r-lieve whatever may be their origin, remain among us? What will become of the wives and children of the killed, wounded, or imprisoned insurgents? And is Not that a case in which inavnanitnity, forgetful of civil discords, ought to intervene? Would it not be right to form a commission in the mairies to organize assistance in favour of families left without support? No one certainly can mistake the spirit of this proposition." By a decree of the President of the Council of Ministers, charged with the Executive Power, the following Municipal and Departmental Council, charged with the functions attributed to the Council General of the Seine and the Municipal Council of Paris, has been appointed :—MM. Arago, Chevalier, Delestre, DupLier, Galis, Horace Say, S4ig alas, E. Thayer, Thierry, Considirant, Mortimer Ternaux, I)oulay (de la Meurthe), Lanquetin, Riant, all mem bers of the former Council ; MM. Buchez, Lanquetin, Vaulabelle, Ferdinand de Lasteyrie, Vavin, Guinard, Peupin, Garnon, Liouville, Chevallon, Moreau, Boissel, Pian, and Boulatignier, representatives of l i the people ; MM. Philippe Lebas, Littri, and Pe" louze, members of the Institute ; M. Duvergier, advocate; MM. Outin and Bourdon; and Ramond de l a Croisette, Colonel of the 4th Legion of the National Guard. The Dimocratie reports that M. CADET has written to the Chief of the Executive Power, demanding Government ships to convey him, with a colony of Icarians, to Texas. M. SENARD, Minister of the Interior, has issued circulars to all the Prefects, cautioning them against suffering anything in the shape of Propagandism to take place. All the foreign legions—the Poles per haps excepted—now in France are to be dissolved. Everything, in fact, is to be done to prove good faith and a rincere desire to remain at peace on the part of the French Government. The Commissioners of Inquiry into the events of June have, from the examination of various persons, been enabled to procure an exact account of the circumstances attending the mur der of General DE BREA and his aide-de camp, Captain MAUGIN, that previously pub lished. When the General reached the insurgents in the barricade, they replied by imprecations and threats to his exhortations, and proceeded to acts of violence which would probably have caused his death if he had not succeeded in escaping to a souse occupied by a person named GODEVROT, No. 12, Barriere d'ltalie. He was followed there by an officer of the National Guard, who had just time to close the door before a number of the insurgents arrived. A horse-dealer, who happened to be in the house, took off his blouse and threw it over the uniform of the General, and a cap was given to him. He was then led to the gar den, and was in the act of getting over the wall, when the assailants having broken open the door rushed in, and dragged him back. Some of them discharged their muskets at him, but without touching him. The crowd was greatly exasperated, and they handled the General so roughly, that he uttered complaints. He was dragged rather than led to the second story, and there he attempted to induce the crowd to adopt better sentiments, but without success. Some of the chiefs proposed to make him sign a promise to pay a sum of money for his liberty, but this was ahan • dolled, and he was told that he must make the troops lay down their arms, or he himself should die. "I would sooner die a hundred times," said the General, " than accept such conditions." Aleanwhile the Mayor arrived, and endeaYoured to calm the infuriated crowd, but he was ill-treated. On making his way to the General, he found him occupied in drawing up a proclamation to the in surgents, telling them that the law was victorious, that for the sake of humanity they ought to cease their impious struggle, and that he would promise that none of them should be punished for offences previously committed. The Mayor took the procla mation to the room beneath, and read it from the window. But his voice was not heard in the tumult. An officer of the National Guard then showed the crowd the swords of the General and the Aides-de camp, saying, that they were prisoners, and that they ought to be kept as hostages. But there were cries from all parts that the General should be put to death. He was then seised and dragged to the guard-house of the Barriere d'ltalie. Some of the insurgents frequently ordered the Aide-de camp to go away and offered to facilitate his escape, but he said that it would be base in him to abandon the General, and that if he were to be killed he would die too. A description of the manner in which the two unfortunate men were treated and slain in the guard-house, has already appeared. Six of the wretches who were the most active in this deed of blood are in the hands of justice, as is also a seventh, who was arrested in the house of the Mayor, where he had hidden himself in a cask. This man, it is said, excited the others to the murder of General BREA, by stating that he was General CAVAIGNAC who had caused the people to be shot on the barricades. All these men will soon be brought to trial before a court-inertial. The following are the particulars of the arrest of Major CONSTANTIN : Major Constantin, one of the officers charged with the investigation of the facts connected with the con spiracy of June, had been arrested. He was interrogat ing one of the insurgents, and treating him somewhat hat ably, when the latter asked hint if he was not M. Constantin, who was to be appointed Minister of War had the insurrection succeeded, and who repeatedly came to encourage them at the barricades, dressed in a blouse and casquette. M. Constantin attempted no defence, and several other insurgents having recognised him, and confirmed the statement of their comrade, the Colonel presiding over the Council of War ordered him to be arrested. M. Constantin inhabited the Faubourg St. Antoine, and was chief of the Cabinet of the Ministry of War, under General Subervie." Paris continued perfectly tranquil up to eight o'clock last evening, and things appeared to be resum ing their usual course. The public gardens and Franconi's Circus in the Champs Elysees had been opened for the first time since the days of June, and the theatres were all to open on the following evening. The following is the weekly statement of the state of the Bank of France on the evening of the 7th of July GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. The Prussian Staats Anzeiger announces the defi nitive nomination of M. Von KULHWETTER as Minister of the Interior, a post which he has hitherto occupied provisionally with the title of Minister of State. The Minister of State, M. RODBERTUS, has, at his own request, received his dismission of Minister o Public Instruction ; and M. LADENBERG, President of the Ministry, Privy and Superior Councillor, is charged ad interim with the portefeuille. A letter from Posen of the 2d inst., in the Cologne Gazette, says that the intelligence of the last French insurrection had reached that duchy, and that its effect in ultimately quelling the revolutionary ten dencies of the Polish party was :;uch as to ensure the complete pacification of that country in a short time.

The deputation from Frankfort bearing to Arch duke JOHN the official tidings of his nomination to the high position of Vicar of the Empire, reached Vienna on the evening of the 2d. It was known on the 3d that the Archduke, who was to receive the deputation with great solemnity on the 4th, had de termined to accept the election. It was hoped that he 'right retain his present post at Vienna, in con junction with the higher honours he had just been nominated to. The joyful news was celebrated in Vienna and Prague by bonfires and flags fluttering from every pinnacle. News has arrived at Vienna of the capture by the Austrians of the strong fort of Chioggia, near Fu sina ; this was considered as likely to cause the im mediate fall of Venice. FRANKFORT. The German Parliament met on the 6th. The subject of debate was the following " Report of the Committee on the Constitutional Scheme." " The following fundamental rights shall be guaran teed to the German people. They shall serve as a rule for the constitutions of the individual German states, and no other form of constitution or legislative act, emanating from any individual state, shall have power to abolish or limit the same. " ARTICLE I. " Sec. 1. Every German has the right of universal German state-citizenship (states-burgerrecht). He can exercise in every German land the right devolving to him by virtue of this right. The right of election into the Assembly of the empire he exert► in that place where he has for the time being his dwelling (residence). " Sec. 1. Every German may make his sojourn, settle, acquire landed property, exercise an art, handicraft, trade, or profession, and gain the right of local citizenship in any place in a German state, under the same condi tions as the other denizens or members of the state in question, until an ,imperial law fully reconcile the dif terences existing among the various laws of the indivi dual states." Nothing at all resulted from the debate on these points, although more than twenty Members spoke. The discussion will be continued on Monday. SAXONY. The sitting of the Second Chamber of the States of Saxony had commenced at Dresden on the 3d instant, when their deliberations were interrupted by Dr. BRAUN, the President of the Ministry, who ad dressed the members as follows : " I must beg the indulgence of the Chamber, if it is but for a moment, but for a moment which will be a memorable one in history. What has recently taken place at Frankfort is known to you. The first stone has been laid for the foundation of the unity of Germany, for the realization of an idea which but lately appeared as a dream— though a dream cherished by the best of the na tion ; Saxony's noble Prince does not hesitate to acknowledge the decrees of the National Assembly. and, true to his given word, to resign the privileges of the Crown, a step necessary to obtain the unity of the great German fatherland.' His councillors are autho rized to announce this to the Chambers, and to demand their constitutional approval." The royal decree was then read aloud by the Pre sident of the Chamber. The whole Chamber rose, with the exception of six members of the Left, and gave three cheers for Germany, the galleries joining in the general eathusiasin. No further business was transacted. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. The Hamburgh Borsenhalle of the sth says—" We are this day enabled to confirm from an authentic source the intelligence which we published yesterday, that on the 2d of this month an armistice was con cluded far three months between Germany and Den mark, which, as we have ascertained to-day, is placed under the guarantee of England and Russia, and subject to notification of three months. Immediately after this an armistice was concluded, and it was sent to Berlin for ratification. With regard to the con ditions, we are enabled to give the following addi tional particulars, that not only the Duchy of Schles• wig, but Holstein also, is to be entirely evacuated, with the exception of a small garrison which is to be left at Altona, and another small Danish garrison to be stationed on the island of Alsen for the protection of the hospitals. Not only the ships, but also the prisoners, are to be given up, and arrangements have been made for the formation of a Provisional Government at Schleswig, which is to come in force immediately after the evacuation of this Duchy. The sum which is demanded by the Danish Government as indemnity for the Prussian requisition in Jutland is given at 140,000 specie. Toward the definitive settlement of the Schleswig-Holstein question, two arbritrators are to be chosen both on the German and on the Danish sides. If these cannot agree on any disputed point they are at liberty to choose an umpire whose decision shall be considered definitive without appeal. We must observe in conclusion, that the most minute conditions of the armistice are not known to us on authority of a sufficiently authentic character to justify our laying them before the public. The following particulars, relative to the armistice, may be depended on : COPENHAGEN, JULY 3.—The negotiation at Malmo, which took place with the co-operation of Sweden, between the Prussian Ambassador Count PONTALES, and the Danish Minister, Count KNATH, were yester day concluded, so far as an armistice for three months. Count PONTALES instantly set out for Berlin, for the purposes of obtaining the consent of his Government to these conditions ; and so soon as this ratification shall arrive the armistice will come in force, and the ships detained by the Danes will be setZat liberty. The troops on both sides are to evacuate the Duchies ; only a few hundred Danes are to be left on the island of Alsen, and an equal number of Prussians in the other parts of Schleswig-holstein, for the mainte nance of order. The further conditions are still kept secret, but there is not the slightest doubt of the con sent of Prussia to the conditions. LUBECK, JULY 4.—An English courier arrived here this morning by the Swedish steamer Nords tejerna, bringing the intelligence that an armistice had been concluded between the German and Danish armies. It appears that the Swedish troops are forth with to quit Denmark, and the hostilities of Den mark against the German navigation, consequently also the blockade of the Prussian harbours, is instantly to be raised. It does not appear whether the deli very of the German vessels which had been seized by the Danes is a stipulation of the armistice. RUSSIA. ST. RETEESBURGH, JUNE 22.—The Imperial Court has been at Peterhoff for the last week. In the course of a few days the regiments of the guards are to occupy their usual encampment at Krasnoje-Selo and the cadets of the military schools at Peterhoff. A few days since General OXUOLME arrived here in the quality of Ambassador Extraordinary for Denmark. Lieutenant-General FREITAZ, the renowned com mander of the Caucasian campaign, has been ap pointed quartermaster-general of the active army ; he has been here for some weeks, and will go by way of \Vornia, his native province, to Warsaw, where he will take possession of his new post. From the latest intelligence which has arrived here from Tiflis, we learn that the Prince Stadtholder was making a tour in May through the important districts in the provinces under his charge ; a proof that his presence is not so greatly required at the seat of war in Dnghestan,a in consequence of the more peaceful state of the mountains. We have received authentic information of a dread ful conflagration which has almost desolated Orebone, one of the first provincial cities of Russia. Of the 3,000 houses in the city 2,200 hove been winced to ashes. The &re is ascribed to incendiaries.—Allge maeine Zeitung. ST. PETER BURGH, JuNE 21 —Since the 21st the cholera has penetrated here also, and several persons have died. Precautionary measures on a very large scale have been adopted, and the police have issued general instructions relative to diet. In Moscow the cholera raged with increased virulence, especially on the 11th and 12th of June, on which days 222 per sons were seized with it, of whom 122 died. The cholera is also raging in twenty other southern and western governments of Russia. LIABILITIES.

Madrid journals of the 4th have arrived. All the Ministers accompany the QUEEN to La Granja on the 7th. Count MIRASOL has been ap pointed Captain-General of Madrid, in the room of General PEZUELA, who replaces General PRIM, as Governor of Porto Rico. General ALZAA, the Carlist General, who was taken prisoner in the Basque Provinces has been shot. This will no doubt give rise to reprisals, and thus the horror of the former civil war will be re newed. This is the first murder that has taken place since the commencement of the present contest, and we take note of it in order that when hereafter the whole world shall cry out against the atrocious murder of prisoners in cold blood, the crime of blood may then be fixed on those who are really guilty, viz., General NARVAEZ and his fellow- Ministers. In the meantime, the Montemolinist rising is extending in every direction. CABRERA has taken the town of Ropoll, in Catalonia, has established his head-quarters there, and made it the basis of his fu ture operations.

The Duke of SEaRA CATRIOLA, by command of the KING,' opened the Neapolitan Chambers on the let instant, by reading the following royal speech : Signori,—Whilecontemplating with joy the desired day, on which I should be surrounded by the Legislative Chambers of the kingdom, a fatal disaster, which I shall never cease to deplore, unfortunately occurred to protract the solemn opening of the session. My profound grief at such unhappy delay is now assuaged by your presence. since I feel the necessity of your loyal, enlightened, and prudent assistance to revive with promptitude in this our dear country that true prosperity which every civilized people has a right,to claim. The free institutions irrevo cably sanctioned and sworn to by me would be fruitless, were not proper laws, resting upon similar bases, to con solidate them by their various systems of application. I therefore invoke your particular attention to this pro minent subject. In the various Bills which will be presented to you, you will principally determine the use fill rules to be established for the special administration of the communes and provinces, which form the princip l basis of every political society ; those which will defior tively re-organize the National Guard, whose mission it' s to watch over the maintenance of the internal tranquillitl of the State; and, lastly, those which are calculated 9 spread, with the greatest efficacy, public instruction in All classes, for the purpose of promoting the increase of civili• zation, and preserving entire the glory which so maul noble talents had before procured us. The public finance deserved, above all, your particular attention. ProralA as f general provisions are necessary to remedy th s inevitable disorder under which they labour al present l, consequence of so many political vicissitudes. Nor do I fear that in this rich country the balance between indispee' sable necessities, and the best means to provide for them , will be long failing. You will seek boldly to unmask the reasons or pretexts for the fatal disturbances which, by coll; tinually agitating the realm, paralysed on the one boa every sort of industry and commerce, and on the othe, rose to the excess of attacking the prop e rty IS honour of private individuals ; and you will providt by energetic means, against the continuation or rr newal of so deplorable a state of things. This is I necessity, the urgency and importance of which ar l universally felt. Order, without which no civil Pr os, perity is possible, can only proceed from wise 1 05 ' and liberty rests exclusively upon order. I hare in g e l , neral no reason to believe that our pacific relations the ether powers of Europe are at all changed. l' ol. sassing thus happily the means of turning a ll our at tention to the internal administration of the state, we may conjointly contribute to make it quietly prosper,, i ; its path. Inflexible in my intention of securing well-being and the enjoyment of rational liberty, this noble object shall be the constant aim of my life; s' o f your powerful assistance is a complete warrant to toe ultimate success. Having already called God w witness as to the purity of my intentions, I can IIC) o f do no more than invoke your testimony and that history." Nothing can be more deplorable than the condition of Naples. On the 30th, the day before the open ing of Parliament, the inhabitants were in a consternist in , lest another attempt at pillage s h ou ld b e attem pted by the Lazzaroni and soldiers, with th e perm i ss i o n the Government. The shops were all closed, and the gates and doors strengthened, the inhabitants coating them inside and outside with iron. Extra gua rde d were placed in the direction of the Villa Reale 0 , Pozzuoli, having reference apparently t o th e rece nt outbreak of the galley slaves at Procida. On the Ist all circulation of carriages throug h Naples was prohihited ; the railways were also O r pended to prevent the arrival of disaffected froth tb country ; guards were placed at all the gates of the town, and the aspect of the city was one of cornPl et° desolation; patrols of Swiss troops, headed by Commissary of Police, were seen to pass from tim e to time. No procession was made to the Chamb er : The speech was listened to in the most chillill6 silence. When the speech was concluded there not the slightest expression of any sentiment ever from the Assembly, which separated in p ro fou% silence. S e v era l o f th e d eput i es afterwards declefe° that the speech was unsatisfactory, vague, and MY: terious. The number o f d e p u ti es present was o°- 80 to 100.
