The House of Commons, on Saturday, exhibited the strongest proof of the laudable anxiety by which it was actuated for the preservation of order through out every portion of her MAJEsTy's dominion-4. The extraordinary powers demanded by the Government were conceded without the slightest hesitation, an d with the most gratifying unanimity. It is true that an amendment was moved, and that some few Mem bers declared their objections to so great an interfe rence with the constitutional liberties of the Irish nation, but their voices were lost in the general ap probation, and but eight representatives divided 9r ' 4 • 4 *,, i..,.., ~•‘','- 9 4: .A 04 A • ~,,,,. 4 c,i 6Vi ..,, lit, ,;), .. • -1 •• - '1,:, , t.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, .JULY 24, 1848. against the measure, while no less than 271 recorded their votes in favour of the Ministerial proposition. It was not, however, by this vast and overwhelming majority alone that the House expressed its confidence in the administration of the Earl of CLARENDON, and its determination to suppress the threatened insurrection. A much stronger, and even more pleasing testimony thereof was afforded in the readiness with which they consented to waive their established forms, so that the Bill went through its several stages in one day, it having been read the first and second times, having gone through Committee, been reported, read the third time, and passed at a single sitting. The sup port so generously given to Government by all parties was not qualified even by the delivery of long speeches, or elaborate statements of the reasons by which individual Members who generally opposed Ministers were actuated on the occasion. Leading Members of the different sections into which the House is divided most properly expressed their sentiments briefly, but emphatically, and they may be looked upon as the exponents of the views and feelings of the parties with whom they ordi :narily act. Thus the Right Honourable Baronet the Member for Tamworth may be regarded as speaking on behalf of the late Ministry and of the Tree-trade Conservatives—the Hon. Member for Buckinghamshire, of the Protectionists—while the veteran Reformer, the Member for Montrose, in the cordial support which he tendered to her Majesty's .Ministers, proved that the Liberal party were ready to strengthen the hands of the Government, when occasion required, and to sanction measures most repugnant to their general principles, when their actual necessity was made apparent. Remedial measures are undoubtedly most urgently required for the tranquillization of Ireland. A people reduced to the very verge of starvation, whose la• inentable condition must excite the commiseration of every right-minded man, are easily led astray, and induced to lend too ready a credence to the inflam matory harangues, and listen to the insidious advice, of mischievous demagogues, who for their own vile ' purposes and the gratification of their morbid passion for notoriety and of their misplaced ambition, I,vould involve their native land in all the horrors of in ternecine war. If the country was in a prosperous con dition—if the people had an adequate supply of even the commonest necessaries of life—if those who possess no means of obtaining even the humblest support, -unless earned by the sweat of their brows, were assured of sufficient employment for their labour, at a reasonable remuneration—if a " fair day's wages" could certainly be obtained in return for " a fair day's work," by all who were able and willing to employ themselves in the pursuits of honest industry —the preachers of sedition, the emissaries of treason, would find but few dupes, and their puny efforts might be laughed to scorn, or treated with silent contempt. But unfortunately such is not the case. The great bulk of the Irish popula tion have undergone the most heartrending priva tions, and are still enduring an accumulation of evils sufficient to drive the most patient and long-suffering to a state of madness. We do not urge this as an 13xcuse for their adopting a course that must fearfully aggravate their misery and increase their suffering, but persors in such a condition will readily listen to any one breathing hope, and promising the advent of a more favourable period, of a happier time. How ever manifest the delusion, however palpable the ab surdity of these promises, they cannot be persuaded thereof, or close their ears against the deceitful blandishments of the mendacious agitators, who work upon their discontent and urge them to plunge into the most fatal excesses. The permanent pacification of Ireland cannot be expected until it is elevated in the scale of nations, and there is a vast improvement in the social condition of its people. But, however urgent may be the demand for such measures, however pressing the necessity for their adoption, this is not the time for their concession ; nor are the present circumstances of the country those under which they could be granted. When re bellion and disloyalty stalk with giant strides throughout the land, when hostile weapons are directed against the bosoms of the well affected and peaceable inhabitants, there can be no temporizing or parlying with armed insurgents, who endeavour to extract from the fears of the Legislature the boons which they no longer seek to obtain from its justice and mercy. The insurrectionary movement must be crushed, the rebellion must be firmly and effectually siwpressed. The misguided people must be taught that no relief can be obtained while they preserve a hostile and threatening aspect. They must first sub mit themselves to the constituted authorities, they must abandon the perilous path on which they have entered, and repudiate the pernicious counsels of their would-be leaders, and then, but not unti' then, their grievances will be taken into consideration, their sins forgiven ; they will be re ceived with open arms as erring brethren, and every nerve will be strained to advance their interests, and develop all the resources of their magnificent coun try. Large and comprehensive measures of reform will then be carried, and every reasonable cause of complaint removed. We trust that this period may speedily arrive. The House of Lords will most probably this day sanction the measure, which has been sent up from the Com- mons, and it will receive the Royal assent without a moment's unnecessary delay, and it is more than pro bable that the apostles of sedition may by Wednes- day next be arrested, and a stop put to their atrocious proceedings. If this be so, and that the peasantry are disarmed and the clubs broken up, we may hope to see peace and tranquillity restored in Ireland, and order prevailing throughout the whole of the British dominions. Then, indeed, the measures for the amelioration of the country should be entered upon without an hour's delay, and relief given where it is required, and aid and assistance should be afforded with no stinted or niggard hand, so that the Irish may be taught that their best friends, ;heir most faithful allies, their most liberal benefae. ,ors, are the calumniated Saxons, whom they have too long been taught to regard as cruel oppressors and tyrannical governors. Mr. ROBERT OWEN has sent a letter to the Paris journals announcing his desire to expound to the National Assembly his plans for securing at all times labour to the workman. The Constitutionnel has a long article on the subject of this letter, in whicb, after describing a few of the failures of Mr. OWEN i it thus proceeds— " The National Assembly has amongst its members several Socialist leaders. It cannot refuse to hear their doctrines explained—it cannot be said that they have not had a full freedom of discussion. Their chimerical ideas are menacing when they can penetrate without controversy into the minds of ignorant readers. But it surely is enough to be obliged to have the dreams of these gentlemen brought forward without being obliged to endure those of Mr. Owen also. We have said that Mr. Owen merited, by his personal quali ties, the great influence which he enjoyed before h e I delivered himself up to his deplorable Utopian ideas. We know his patriarchal views and his disinterestedness; they contrast with the subversive ideas which constitute the groundwork of his system. It has been said of him that he is a mixture of Abraham and Babceuf. Let Mr. Owen enjoy in his old age the remembrance of the good which he did to the workmen of New Lanark. As to his dreams of social change, let him rejoice not to have to support the terrible responsibility of applying them. Mr. Owen desires the happiness of humanity; we are convinced that his doctrines would let loose on society incalculable evils. The mere doubt ought to stop a man of worth in such cases; but neither the personal expe rience of Mr. Owen, nor the cruel experience which we have just made in France of the influence of the Com munist systems, permit doubt on this subject." r --- The Constitutionnel itself is, however, not one whit less absurd than Mr. OWEN ; the difference between them is this—Mr. OR EN seeks to accomplish an im possibility by dividing the country into parallelo grams, and the Constitutionnel seeks to accomplish the same impossibility by having recourse to high bounties. The following is the plan of this journal for finding labour for the ouvriers employed in manu factories. It is calculated, says the Constitutionnel— " That the cotton, flax, woollen, and silk manu factories, which produce annually, on an average, 1,600,000,000 f. worth (64,000,0001.) of merchan dise, have within the last four months only pro duced a quantity equivalent to 360,000,000 f., or two thirds of their usual produce. Of those 360,000,0001., not more than 60,000,0001. have been sold. There remain, therefore, 300,000,0001. worth which encumber the market, and for which an issue must be opened. With a drawback of only five per cent. pro mised by the present Government, the advantage would na be sufficient to produce a rapid sale. The export would continue to be slow and difficult, and the commercial movement would not be sufficiently active to give that energetic impulse necessary in the present state of affairs. Suppose, on the contrary, the drawback raised to 10 per cent., speculation would be- , , come brisk, exports would be made on a large scale; the merchants in the departments, who dare not purchase through fear of an extraordinary fall in prices, which might produce a glut, would be anxious to supply them selves through a dread of a sudden rise; the manufac tories would become active; labour, that element of order and security, would act upon consumption; and consumption, acting in its turn on labour, would give it fresh activity. The objection made to raise the draw back to 10 per cent. is the heavy charge it would impose on the Treasury, but this objection would fall to the ground if the drawback was limited to a certain amount of goods. For example, 300,000,000 E worth exported with a drawback of 5 per cent. would cost the Treasury 15,000,000 f. (600,0001.) It would be sufficient, however, when raising the drawback to 10 per cent. to fix 15,000,000 f. (600,0001.) as the limit of the sacrifice to be made by the Government. The charge on the Treasury would remain the same, but it would have a more prompt, immediate, and energetic action, and better suited to the crisis through which we are passing. In place of exporting merchandise to the value of 300,000,000 f. (12,000,0001.) slowly and with difficulty, 150,000,000 f. (6,000,000/.) worth might be sold rapidly under the spur of a double amount of drawback, and such a movement would cause the remaining 150,000,0001. worth to be bought up either for home consumption or for exportation. As to the political bearing of this sacrifice of 15,000,0001., it may be explained in a few words. The manufactories for spinning and weaving employ 1,600,000 persons, who earn on an average 22 sous (11d.) daily. If those factories are abandoned to their own resources, the production will be diminished by one-half, and 800,000 operatives will be deprived of employment, which, for four months, represents a sum of 87,000,000 f. (3,480,000/.) Thus the Government may, by an outlay of 15,000,0001. provide employment for 800,000 operatives who suffer most amidst our population." This is a plan which will, no doubt, be looked upon by the Protectionists as the perfection of wisdom, and yet it differs nothing in principle from the plans of M. PROUDHON. M. PROUDUON would at once confiscate one-third of all the property of France to provide employment or relief Rir the ouvriers gene rally, and his plan is denounced as Communism. The Constitutionnel proposes to take from the taxation of the country a smaller amount, to be devoted to the purpose of providing a smaller amount of employment for a smaller class of ouvriers, and that plan is called Protection ; but it is the same in principle as the plan of M. PROUDHON. The taxa tion must necessarily be levied upon the property of the country, and should be devoted only to the pay ment of the expenses of the State. Any diversion of any portion of the taxation of the State to the pay ment of bounties such as those recommended by the Constitutionnel, necessitates the levying of such addi tional sum from the tax-payers, and is, pro tanto, a confiscation of their property and for the same object for which M. PROUDHON would confiscate their property. The only difference between them is this, that M. PROUDHON applies the principle of confiscation directly, the Constitutionnel applies it indirectly; to parody the mot of SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE, " A Protectionist is a Communist with a circuntbendibus." THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The Moniteur of Saturday publishes the following : "The Government of the Republic yesterday received the following telegraphic dispatch:--' The Austrians entered Ferrara on the 14th inst., to the number of 5,000; they occupied the principal posts of the city, and levied a war contribution. The Pope protested, and the Chamber of Deputies unanimously voted a proposed league between all the states of Italy against Austria.' " The particulars of this irruption of Austrians into the Pontifical dominions, and of their speedy retreat, will be found among our Italian intelligence. The Bien Public of Saturday has the following. It is interesting, as being the appreciation by M. DE LAMARTINE of the character of M. LEDRU ROLLIN:-- " The Siècle desires to know our opinion of M. Ledru Rollin. The day after the barricades M. Ledru Rollin, still thrilling with the revolutionary tradition of the Montagne, appeared to us a republican a great deal too crimson. M. Ledru Rollin gravely deceived himself in his calendar. He for an instant dreamed of a govern ment of intimidation. This was tearing France in two, and there was his error. And this error, we do not fear to say, enormously contributed to disaffect the country ; the 45 centimes especially clenching the prose of the bulletins. And now, as we are anxious above all things to be just, we think it right to declare that M. Ledru Rollin allowed himself to be led away, in those circum stances, by two bad genii who held the pen by his side. His speeches are evidently better than his circulars. He is only a tribuue on the surface, and we believe there is in him the stuff of a man of government." The question of the ouvriers is again occupying public attention. The present state of this impor tant question shows the infinite dangers that every state must incur which does not take political eco nomy for its guide ; the greater portion of the evils from which France is now suffering may be traced to the false step adopted by Provisional Governments in instituting the ateliers nationaux, and in holding out the hope that it was possible for any Government to organize labour. The Minister of Public Works has just drawn up a series of regulations relative to work by the piece in the ateliers nationaux. The works are to consist in the improvement of the national departmental and the cross roads, in improving navigation, construct ing railways, extracting stone, sand, &c., and are to be confided exclusively to the men of the ateliers 4eationa4 x. ,During the first fortnight a minimum pay of one franc a-day is assured to the men, and any man refusing work is to be immediately deprived of assistance from the State. Each man engaged is supplied with a livret, signed by the engineer direct ing the works, and containing the principal condi tions to which he has to submit. The examination of the project for the Constitution in the Bureaux is now nearly finished, and it is sup posed that the Members will terminate their labours to-day. The Moniteur publishes a decree of the Chief of the Executive Government, conferring the decoration of the Legion of Honour on several of the Garde Mobile . The claims upon the credit of 200,000 f., voted as compensation for the damage done in the days of Fe bruary, amounted up to the 10th inst. to only 167,000 f., and it is not expected that any further im portant demands remain to be made. By recent decrees Rear-Admiral BRIIAT has been nominated Maritime Prefect of Toulon in the room of Vice-Admiral PARSEVAL DESCHENES, .Rear-Ad miral LAPLACE, Maritime Prefect at Rochefort, in the room of Captain VAILLANT; Vice-Admiral PAR SEVAL DESCHENES, Inspector-General of crews in the ports of Cherbourg, Brest, and Lorient ; Vice- Admiral HAMELIN, Inspector-General of crews at Rochefort and Toulon ; Vice-Admiral CAST, member of the Admiralty, in the room of M. HAMELIN; a n d Captain VAILLANT, member of the Admiralty, in the room of M. VERNINAC. In the sitting of the National Assembly on Satur day, M. GOUDOLIAUX, the Minister of Finance, brought forward his proposition for a loan, and in so doing made a statement explanatory of the presen state of the finances. He said— " That his predecessor had presented on the Bth ult. the modified budget of 1848, in which it was errone ously mentioned that the receipts would exceed the expenditure by 4,600,000 f. After carefully examining that project, he had ascertained that the hopes enter tained by M. Duclere could not be realised. He would now sub - mit to the Assembly the result of that examina tion, together with the means he proposed in order to cover the deficit of that year. He trusted that that expose would dissipate any exaggerated uneasiness, and that with a severe economy, and a prudent reserve in the vote of laws tending to increase the expenses, it would be easy to meet all difficulties. He was sorry to inform the Assembly that different branches of revenue had 'alien off considerably. The diminution in the proceeds of the direct tax would amount to 20,000,000 f., and the indirect tax t060,000,000f. The tax on mortgages,valued at 45,000,000 f., would not afford more than 20,000,000 f.; that on successions, estimated at 30,000,000 E, would produce nothing; the project on insurances, which was to give 5,000,000 f., had been withdrawn; and the 25,000,000 f. o f th e N a ti ona l L oan h av i ng been paid in Treasury bonds, and not in specie, were unavailable. M. Goudchaux calculated that the deficit would not be lass than 135,000,000E,and that, with various other ex penses, it would amount in all to 209,000,000 E, to meet "ich the Government had no other extraordinary re source than the loan of 150,000,000 f. concluded with the Bank of France. The Government had, accordingly, resolved to make an appeal to public credit, and propose to the .National As sem bl y to empewer i t to contract a loan of from 175 to 200 m illi ons which woul d enable it to satisfy all the demands of the ' State. M. Goudchaux inext read a project of decree, the first article of which declared . that the lo an o f 250,000,000 E voted last year, not havi ng been executed, was null nod void. By the second article, a credit o f 13,000,000 E Bente was to be opened in the Ministry of Fi nance, which would be paid in monthly instalments of 7i per c en t. f rom t h e 7t h of August. The Minister, in concl us i on, announced that the G o vernment found it necessary to ma i ntain the tax on salt and liquors until 1850." The discussion on that decree was fix e d f or Monday. In the course of the sitting on Sat ur d ay, the Assembly also decreed the Mobilization of 300 battalions of Na. tional Guards. It is rumoured that M. ARMAND .AIARRAST will be appointed Minister of the French Republic at the Court of London. Some of the certificates of the old Loan, contracted by the late Government in 1847, were negotiated on Sunday in the Passage de l'Opera at 2,230 f. ; they were originally issued for 3,000 f., and were sold the day before at the Bourse, in the morning, at 1,500 f. This increased value is to be attributed to the decla ration of M. GOUDCHAUX, in his financial statement, that "the certificates of the two first instalments of the loan of 250 millions, forming th© guarantee de posit of 7f. 52ic. for 3f. of Rente, shall be comprised until the 17th of next August for the same value of 7f. 52ic. for sf. of Rente in the payment of the first term of the new loan." Of the adoption of the Bill of the Assembly there does not appear to be any doubt. PARIS BOURSE, SATURDAY, JULY 22. The market has not shown much animation to-day, but the quotations of yesterday have been pretty well maintained,l Threes closing at 48f., and Fives at 77f. Bank of France Shares are 51. lower. Bons du Tresor have been done at 17 dis.

Madrid journals of the 17th have arrived. Don FRANCISCO DE PAULA bas been ordered to set out on his travels, accompanied by his daughter, the Infanta JOSEFA.. The Madrid ( aceta announces that the Com mander of the Carabiniers bad defeated, in the valley of Erro, the united bands of ILZARBE and ZUDIRI with the loss of nine killed and thirty wounded: Another encounter had taken place between Bri gadier EGumuz and the faction of ITURMENDI, in the valley of Ega, in which 17 of the latter were killed and many made prisoners. Notwithstanding the defeat of ILZARBE and Zu mm, the Montemolinist insurrection in Catalonia and the Basque Provinces is becoming every day more formidable. A letter dated Opeja, on the frontier of Catalonia, July 17th, says— "On the 11th, in the environs of Santa Maria de Borreda, a murderous battle was fought between the Carlists and the troops of Queen Isabella. The result was favourable to the Carlists, for they not only re mained masters of the field, but took 51 prisoners, among whom was a lieutenant, with 70 muskets and a consider able quantity of ammunition. The Christino forces under the command of General Enna and Parades, amounted to 1,500 men, while the Montemolinists were only 800, but Cabrera was at their head. The person who gave me these details, an old military man who has made all the campaigns of the empire, assures me that he never saw a greater inveteracy in so small a number of com batants. After the first volley the two columns rushed against each other with their bayonets, and in half an hour shed more blood than usually flows in an action lasting the whole day. Cabrera, at the head of forty horse, performed prodigies of valour, and broke his sword in the melee. This extraordinary man has been able, by himself alone, to change the whole aspect of Catalonia. After the battle of June 28, and this of July 11, the 40,000 troops of Isabella must bold them selves upon the defensive, or they will be defeated by the Lion of the Maestrago. According to the orders issued by Cabrera, there will be no more small parties. All the columns will amount to 800 men, so that they may be able to contend without too great a disadvantage with columns of 1,000 or 1,500 foot, and 50 horse." A letter from Rosas,' Catalonia, of the 12th, says that a column of Government troops that went out from Gerona had been obliged to return, in conse quence of the approach of 600 Carlists, who advanced and lodged themselves in the villages immediately round Gerona. A band of thirty mounted Carlists entered Spain from the frontiers of Portugal, seized the public treasury of Villaneuva de la Serena, and retired with their booty on the approach of a column of the QUEEN'S troops. A band of mounted Carlists, under PECO, entered La Mancha, and occupied the town of Almodovar del Campo on the 14th, where a letter from Almagro states that they were enlisting men, and had already enlisted many beforehand, to be ready to take the geld as soon as Pxco should present himself.

In its sitting of the 19th, the German Parliament decided that the union of the Duchy of Limburg, which forms part of the Germanic Confederation, to the kingdom of the Netherlands under one constitu tion and administration, is incompatible with the Federal German Constitution; that pursuant to:a previous resolution of the Assembly the dispositions of different German Constitutions which do not accord with the general constitution, cannot be con sidered valid ; and that the question concerning the obligation of the Duchy of Limburg to bear a por tion of the Dutch debt should be referred to the cen tral Provisional Government, which should be charged to settle it, was to preserve the rights of Limburg, the National Assembly reserving the ratification of the definitive arrangement to itself. An additional resolution was adopted, to the effect that the Central Provisional Government should be invited to take efficacious measures for immediately carrying the resolutions into effect. PRUSSIA. A Berlin letter of the 18th says—" The Committee on the Constitution has resolved, but by a majority of one vote only, that the KING shall have only a suspensive and not an absolute veto in the new Con stitution. The eagerness to subscribe to the volun tary loan is very great. Yesterday subscriptions to the amount of 300,000 thalers were made. It is thought that the period of August (10th) fixed for the forced loan may be postponed. The bank has re paid the State 3,000,000 thalers it had advanced. Yesterday there were some important deliberations at the Ministry of Commerce on the measures to be adopted with regard to France; principally on the raising of the premiums on the exportation of cotton, silk, linens, &c. The result is not yet known. The iron gates of the Palace were this morning replaced. As early as four o'clock, a great number of the burgher guards were posted round the Palace. Up to this hour, four in the afternoon, all has remained tranquil." • - The Prussian State Anzeiger of the 20th an nounces that the Provisional Central Government of Germany has addressed a communication to all the German States, stating that the Regent of the Empire has nominated the responsible Ministry, and that the authority delegated to the Provisional Central Power by the law of the 28th of March, 1848, had com menced. In this communication the Central Power states that, in carrying out its lawful auth or it y , it confidently expec t s the co-operation of the German Governments. AUSTRIA. A Vienna letter of the 18th, quoted by the Breslau Gazette, says :—" The accounts from Inspruck as to the health of the EMPEROR are alarming. His MAJEST Y appears to be suffering greatly." A letter from Inspruck of the 12th, in the Augsburg Gazette of the 18th, says :—" A courier has arrived from London, with dispatches for Lord PONSONBY. Lord PALMERSTON notices the choice of the Archduke JonN as Vicar-General of the Empire, and advises an arrangement with CHARLES ALBERT. Lord PAL MERSTON congratulates Austria on the choice of the Archduke JOHN, but approves of Lord PONSONBY'S having followed the EMPEROR." DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. TERMINATION OF THE ARMISTICE. The Gazelle steamer, which arrived at Hull yes. terday morning, brings intelligence from Hamburgh to Wednesday last. We extract the following from the Hambnrgh Borsenhalle : " COPENHAGEN, JULY 17.—A number of troops have just left partly by sea and partly by land, to join the army, and 10,000 man, whose service had expired, are to be called out. " It is not known what decision General Wrangel has come to on the subject of the armistice, but it is reported to be broken off, and that the transports lying tht,re ready for sea were not employed for the transit of our own troops, as they are intended to fetch the Swedes and Norwegians from Schonen. There is no doubt en tertained but that the Swedes who were in Fuhnen would have entered Jutland if invaded by General Wrangel. " We are satisfied that our army will probably be en gaged, a:Ai ilupe to have the ussit.:nce c.i Er.g,;.4llii Sweden, as we have consented to abide by the armistice proposed by those countries." The Lubeck paper adds a further communication from Copenhagen of the same date : " The settlement of the armistice is broken off. Mr. Riedtz returned from head•quarters yesterday with this intelligence." " The Prussian Envoy, Count Po tales, urged General Wrangel to adopt unconditionally the terms of the ar mistice agreed to at Malmo, and in vain reminded the General of his duties to Prussia; but Wrangel. was firm, declaring that he owed his obedience to the Regent of Germany, and that he would only give his consent on the following couditions:—That the armistice be agreed to by the Central Government; that the actual position of the two armies be maintained during its observance; and that the authority of the Provisional Government of the Duchies be recognised until peace might be concluded. " The struggle will, therefore, be recommenced, as a warlike feeling pervades in the Frankfort Assembly, and Denmark cannot honourably consent to further con cession. 3,000 men proceeded yesterday to join the army, which is intrenched at Bolding, and has con structed a tete de pont at Suoghoi to cover the passage to Fuhnen. " Our Foreign Minister, Count Knuth, has had a con. fel-sice with the King of Sweden, at Malino, on the subject of further measures, and much will depend on this interview, as Russia has placed its fleet lying at Moen at the disposal of King Oscar, and additional damage will therefore fall on the German sea-ports. It now remains to be seen how England will act on the re jection by the Germans of the treaty proposed by her and consented to by Prussia." WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA The Preussische Staatscinzeiger publishes an ex tract from a letter, dated Bucharest, the 16th inst., stating that the Russian Consul, KOTZEBUE, of Fock shani, has addressed a threatening letter to the Me tropolitan, announcing the march of the Russian troops into Wallachia, and strongly dwelling on the misfortunes to which the country would be exposed, unless a stop were at once put to the innovations now going on, and unless Prince BIBESCO were recalled to the government. The prevailing opinion is, that this letter will produce no effect, for the Metropolitan is completely in the hands of the Provisional Govern ment, who rely on their army of 300 men. The Commissioners who have been sent to spread the in surrections in the different districts have in a few places met with resistance. Bucharest is quiet, though several members of the Provisional Government have thought proper to leave the town. The Prussian Moniteur has the following from Jassy, dated the 10th :—" At seven o'clock this evening, the Russian troops, consisting of 4,000 infantry, a squadron of Cossacks, and two batteries of artillery, entered the camp prepared for them on the Copo, a height near Jassy. General DUHAMEL is commander-in-chief, and Colonel WRANGLE is at the head of the infantry." RUSSIA. The Breslau Gazette states that SCRAMYL has obtained some signal successes over the Russians in the Caucasus. The cholera is becoming more intense at Odessa. On the Gth 241 persons were attacked, and 102 died. In St. Petersburgh, on the 7th of July, there were 3,571 persons ill of the cholera, to these 1,017 were added during the day—of these 223 recovered, 576 died ; on the Bth there were 3,790 sick, 853 were attacked during the day-574 died, 172 recovered. On the 9th there were 3,817 patients in th e hospitals. HUNGARY. The Hungarian Ambassador to the German Parlia ment at Frankfort has been instructed by the Mi nistry to enter into diplomatic communications with the German Cabinet as soon as it has been formed by the REGENT. The Russian Ambassador at Inspruck has been asked by our Ministry for what purpose the Russian troops are now concentrating on the banks of the Pruth. His answer is rather threatening. He 'protests that the Russian Government wishes to remain on good terms with Hungary, as long as the latter country makes no warlike preparations against the Russian dominions (viz , the principalities of the Danube). The Commander of the Hungarian forces in the Banat has granted the Servian insurgents another ar mistice. ITALY. ENTRY OF THE AUSTRIANS INTO FER RARA, AND THEIR RETREAT THERE FROM. The Ventidue Marzo, of Milan, has the following from Ferrara of the 15th :—" A body of about 5,000 Austrians crossed the Po at Pontelagoscuro and Polsella, and marched to Ferrara, where the Pontifical Government offered no resistance - the object appe ars t o h ave b een t h e prov i s i oning of the citadel, as this very day General LICHTEXSTEIN signed a treaty with the Prolegate, in which, on condition of provisioning the citadel for two months, and guaranteeing military honours to the garrison in the case of its evacuating the place, he engages to cross the Po again within two days, and to abstain from every hostile act, provided he be not molested on his retreat by Pontelagoscuro." Another letter of the 15th from Ferrara adds that, on the arrival of Gen. LICHTENSTEIN, the Austrian garrison drew up on the esplanade, and then took possession of the gate of S. Benedetto, which was guarded by the Papal troops. The Prolegate of Ferrara having questioned the Austrian General as to his intentions, the latter replied that he only demanded 5,000 rations, on which condition his troops would not enter the town. Dur ing the night there was a great movement of waggons, transporting ammunition and stores from the fortress. —On the evening of the 12th the Piedmontese who were at Ferrara took the direction of Comacchio, whence it was believed they would enter the Venetian territory. The Pontifical troops who were at Ferrara, consisting of the men under capi tulation since the taking of Vicenza, departed for Bologna. On the 15th Modena was on the alert, as a movement of the Austrians at Ferrara was ex pected against the duchy. Carts and horses were in requisition for the transport of stores for the Pied montese troops, who were preparing to march towards the line of the Po. An official bulletin from Roverbella, of the 16th, published in the Piedmontese Gazette, announces that having been informed that a body of Austrian troops had crossed the Po at Ostiglia, Ficarola, and Ponte lagoscuro, with the intention either of reinforcing the garrison of Ferrara, or of invading the Duchy of Modena, the King of SARDINIA had given orders for the departure of a sufficient force, to cross the Po, and prevent the realisation of the enemy's plans. A letter from Bologna of the 16th, quoted by the Milan Gazette, says—" Yesterday evening we re ceived the news that the Austrians had precipitately again crossed the Po. It is reported that General LICHTENSTEIN, on the receipt of a dispatch at Fer rara, immediately ordered the drums to beat to arms, and the soldiers had to leave their rations on the esplanade of the citadel and to march off without even carrying with them some war materials that lay there. The motive of this flight is not known. It is believed the Piedmontese were after them from Cento. Comacchio was occupied by the Austrians who bad come from Merola."

The Stock Market has been very quiet this morning, and it would appear that parties are timid in acting either for a rise or fall. Should th , a potato rot prove to be merely partial, as we doubt a tot will be the case, despite the industrious efforts of parties interested in corn speculations, and should the vi lour of the Govern ment strike terror into the disafft 'cted in Ireland, no doubt confidence would be rapidly restored, as there is an accumulation of specie in all Er ections, at home as well as abroad.

The inhabitants of the little principality of Monaco have addressed a protest, signed by the number of 370, against an address, sent in by a deput a ti on at Turin, in favour of a Junction of Monaco to the kingdom of Sardinia. The protest declares that the said address was signed by 100 members and agents of the insurrectional Government of Menton, by 213 women and children, and by about 200 other persons of the lowest classes, bought over by money. In consequence, the principal inhabitants of Monaco and Menton, being actuated by sentiments of the warmest attachment to their sovereign, deem it necessary to protest against the tenor of the said address. NAPLES. Letters from Naples, of the 14th instant, state that the King has nominated twenty-one peers of the realm to make up the number required for sanction ing the legislative Acts. Several persons pr ev i ous l y named peers, had sent in their resignations, and thus rendered this measure necessary. The Chamber of Deputies had just voted an Act declaring that Minis terial functions are incompatible with the quality of Member of Parliament. The Nouvelliste of Marseillies, of the 19th, says The letters which we receive by the Sesostris inform us that whilst the events of Calabria seem to approach their termination, on the other hand the insurrection bursts out with great force at Lucca and Salerna. The KING'S troops, it is said, were beaten by the insurgents ,who took from them eight pieces of cannon. What would seem to confirm this announce ment is, that on the 14th a reinforcement of truops and artillery was dispatched from Naples." THE WEST INDIAN MAIL.
