The new Irish rebellion, after all, turns out to be little more thin an organized system of robbery on a large scale. Heavy contributions are levied by and on behalf of the patriots, who make predatory excur eione from their mountain fastnesses, plundering the Wises 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 undor ordinary circumstances enjoy a meal o 1 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 car r i e d o ff by the boys; that the wheat which had been threshed fur market and the fat cattle, by the sale of which th e ren t, ra t es , taxes, and other demands were to have been provided for, had supplied the commissariat of the national troops ; bat the reality is not quite so pleasing—a few thousands of hungry men, whose appetites are sb *pored 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 shee,p are the property of friend or foe, of the supporters of the union, or of true and gEtnuine Irishmen, but the leg or loin will be devoured With equal gusto, whoever may he at the cost of pro Siding 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 ments, and the Irish peasantry are at all times ready Qrdelr the present moment without troubling them selves 'very deeply as to the consequences of their frolic. wive, theand then a day of r e t r ib u ti on w ill s p ee dily very material alteration will take plaee in their view s and fe e l ings . They will occa sionally meet with warm receptions, and not be permitted to cry off impunity. I n • place their neighb ours ' goo d s w i t h Of sheep, or a few sacks of a fat o x , h a lf a score of corn bein g car ried off, some eight or ten of the plunderers may chance to remain on the vayed to ditrance vid e in field, or t o b e con -leelem atone by perpetual banishment for el h or Nenagh of the laws of property, an d their u e t f eir violationtunate for mutton. An organized ba n d of plunderers taste cannot long continue to set the law at defiance. Their vic tims will speedily find it essential to bring the ay ,. tem to a termination, and to put the police and military on the track of the cattle-stealers. Th ey mill begin to think the claims of their landlords les; difficult to be encountered than the unascertained and unlimited demand of the pikemen and riflemen, who may chance to bivouac in keit- vicinities. When the receipt of the half-year's gale is snugly de posfted in their pockets no new demand can be made on account of that rent, but it is quite different with the armed bands who prey upon the country.

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 beads, 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 CLARENDON 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 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., jeurney to Paris; the Prince joins Dussuueirz's army ; battle of Jemmappes—End of the year, the Duke of CHARTRES proceeds to Paris, and conducts his sister to Tourney. 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 COBURG, at Mons ; having re fused 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 MONTESQUIRU procures a situation for the Prince, under a false name, as professor in a college at Reichenau. He is then Mr. CORBY.—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 OBLEANS.-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 Hamburgh. Not being able to carry out his plan of embarking. for America, makes a tour in the north, visi's Copenhagen, Sweden, Norway, and Lapland. —1796. Leaves Hamburgh for America.-1797. The three brothers meet in the United States, and visit together the provinces of the Interior.-1793. 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'ARTOIS (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. Ilis marriage with the Princess MARIE AMELIB 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 ASXELIE of Sicily.- 1810. Visits Spain, at the solicitation, of the Cortes. During his absence, Duke o f C HARTRES b orn .— . 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 On- 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 1" 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 FIESCHI and ALIBAUD, and their imitators would have to be introduced in a continuation of the chrono ' logical table of Louis 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 " point a moral and adorn a tale." We leave the latter task to the skill of the Marquis de la Pail leterie ; the moral is too obvious to require expo sition. He who runs may read the lesson illustrated by the career of Loos PnimirrE—of LOUIS PHI 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 third revolution to enforce the teaching of its prede cessers, and to avenge the neglect with which that teaching had been received. LOUIS PHILIPPE is, let us hope, a wiser man by the lesson. It is a lesson which may be generally studied with general ad vantage.

TliE 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 state of 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 Debats of the same day : " The Government, in order to obtain an exact ac count of the respective strength of each party in France, has ordrred to be drawn up, in every department, a genrral list of all the citizens who have been named members of the municipal counc.li, indicating the opinions of each. This demand, which is impost d 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, TheViee-President (M. Pagnerre) said, M. Baze wishes to demand explanations from the Government.—(Marks of attention.) M. Laze—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 cf the views and intentions of the Administration, and to impart to the Government tht precise condition of the public mind, and the real wants of the country. I wish to learn if this rumour is well founded.—(hear, hear.) M. Senard, the Minister of the Interior—l accept the interpel!ative, 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 had to declare that it was completely a stranger to the Government.—(Oh, oh 1) 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 Na tional is quite,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. We 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 a hen the whole of the Adminiatration shall work well tege ther, for the purpose we all have in view—to cause the Republic to he beloved—to enable it to unite all opi nions under the Republican flag ! To attain that result —before all—a good Administration, advancing well together, is; re quired. 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 an account, clear and impartial, of the state of feeling in the department:, and their wants. M. de Falloux demanded 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 feet, 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, was it that we went to choose 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 cause.', and then went on to say that all the Mem bers of the National Assembly had been now for four months and upwards horn their departments, and only knew riliat 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 de authorised Members to accept extra ordinary missions. —(Great uproar.) The Government thought, in tact, 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 ficult a crisis. As to the word coterie, which had just been used, he had to say that the term was quite out of 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. 133Z3 considered the course as highly objection able, first, as being unnecessary, and next, as disrespect fulsis t e t to d t t h h e i ant A i ts shusleeumemhbel as ss. measure tri noe T uneij h , nou e (wut:oblthjd p ie r afccb t rdh ) t: p oec e pdstt r uithosc,e m dtnets. mode of proceeding, he said, would have been to to apply in the usual man ner to the Assembly.

Again, were representatives to go on a roving commission through 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 predeces 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. He 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 th e ordsr f 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. PAGNEERE, one of the Vice-Presidents, baying taken the chair, the sitting was resumed, and M. MARRAST proposed the follow ing order of the day motive—" The Assembly, after the explanation heard, leaving to the responsi bility of the Executive Power the appreciation of the projected measures, passes to the order of the day." After some confusion this order of the day motive wa s agreed to without a division, and with all but unani mity ; M. BAza having declared that he accepted the proposition of M. MARRAST. Some few mem bers 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 the subject of the abolition of the punishment of MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 18, 1848 death in all cases. It arose on the sth Article of the Constitution : " Art. 5. Tho punishment of death is abolished in po litical matters." The President—On this article several amendments have been presented. The most extreme one is that of M. Coquerel, which says, " the punishment of death is abolished." N. Coquerel said that his amendment required hut a few arguments in its favour. They appeared to be these —That since capital punishments had been abolished for 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. Reblon 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 egainst the e unishment 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. lie was convinced that the punishment of transportation, if properly carried into effect, would tend more to the repression of crime, and that was the sole object of the laws. Fociety 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 rote which it had de manded from the Assembly. It had never been the in• tendon of the Committee, to oppose the abolition of the penalty of death in every CASO, and to place itself .n opposition to the march of civilization, which evidently could not halt until it had attained that object. Ile anly asked the Assembly to confine its vote to what was proposed by the Committee.until the peed. 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 heir adoption would, be at present attended with danger society, and that by removin g th a t cur b t h e d oor m i g ht be opened to fresh crimes, and disastrous cons, quences be produced. It was fur that reason alone he felt com pelled to call for the rejection of the proposed amend tnents. M. Victor Hugo said that a constitution made by and "or, the French people ought to be a forward step in civi • I'z akin 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 hinour of abolishing torture, let then the nineteenth have it. at of abolishing the penalty of death. lie should, ,herefore, vote for the pure, simple, and definitive aboli tion 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 o indition of order and security were, in fact, opposed to inat 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 civilization.—(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 mere Tho strongest argument that had been brought forward against it was the fallibility of bums.n judgment. Those certainly were very powerful considers:ions, bat let those who brought them forward be candid, arid say that it was not without great difficulty that one or two errors of the eon could be found in the course of a century. Even those, he admitted, were too many, and could not be too deeply regretted. Let those men whose profes• simnel duties brought them in contact with the greatest itninals 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 not to vote its entire abolition. M. Victor Lefranc 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 therefore vote for the amendment, M. Freslon—ln ascending the tribune I yield to an absolute duty of conscience, for a man must have a very firm cons iction 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, in succession, the said punishment has almost dis appeared from our various codes. That is true; and my opinicn is that eventually, according as civilization ex tends and advances, this punishment will disappear alto gether. But I deny that the present momeet 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, they would have exe cuted justice themselves. I do not believe that the public feeling in France is sufficiently prepared fur the total abolition of this punishment; and I am of opinion that if you tote 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. Tire votes of the army and of the Invalides have been already taken, and they are as follows : VOTES OF THE ARMY. Louis Napoleon ...

EDMOND ADAM in opposition to that of Marshal BUG EA UD, who, notwithstandin g h e was the gaoler of the Duchess DE BERRI at Blaye, is now the Legi tamist candidate for Paris. At the meeting of electors of the Cour des Fon 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 Paris, to ascertain, by visiting the committees and clubs, and the principal most of the p ress , w hi c h list of can didates was most likely to contend with advantage with the list of the ultra-democrats, the electors pre sent came to a unanimous resolution that they would support MM. EDMOND ADAM, ACIIILLE FOULD, and ROGER (Du Nord), and would immediately take all necessary steps to induce the other candidates of the moderate Republic to make a sacrifice, for the sake of unity, of their desire to represent their fellow-citizens in the National Assembly. 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 , MM. 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 t w h a e s N ex or h d ib , as s d by those who were present. appears thatas aLocandidateuis NAPOLEON for the de B osa p r a Ar department t has offeredhimself of well as for that of the Seine, and that the wall s of Lille are covered with his placards, an nouncing that he will accept the representation if 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 ; an d that the ballot i ng, i ns t ea d o f b e ing closed at six o'clock on Monday, should remain open till nine. The gener a l scrut i ny o f t h e vo t e s to be given at the present P ar i s elect i on w ill b e made on Thursday, at the Hotel d e Vi lle, by a general and public meet ing of all th e mayors of arron di ssemen ts, having for president th e senior in age. Thi s s itting will be opened at n i ne i n the morn i ng. There was some exc it emen t in Paris on Saturday ig ht, b u t n ot more than is usua ll y ex hibited in every great city on the eve of a contested election. There was an att emp t made to tear d o wn a placard, recom mending Ti "Alien' as a candidate, w hich g ave ris e to some little confusion, but the public tranquillity wa s not interrupted. The polling went on steadily during the whole of yesterday, and up to the hour the post left, Paris was perfectly tranquil. The conductors of the Legitimatist organ the Memo rial Bordelais, having with that delicacy of feeling that fine sense of Christian charity, and that sacred regard far truth which has ever characterised the part/ pretre, thought proper t o rev i ve ce rtain false and calumnio us libels on the m emor y o f the father of General CAVAIGNAC, have been thus replied to by the General himself in the pages of the lionileur : The Memorial Bortlelais, 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 refuted relative to the political life of my father. Its publication has taken place wilh an eagernes , which can be readily understood on the part of the, ournals which du 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:- 1. Extract of the minutes of the sitting of the Na tional Convention on the 13th Prairial, An. 3 (Presider t Mathieu). After having communicated the documents relative to the denunciations made against some members of the Convention, Citizen Durand Maillanne concluded by saying—" Cavaignac, who then presided at the popular society of Audi, is accused of having shared in the sen timents of D—, either by replying to his motions, or by putting them to the vote." 'lardy (Seine Inferieure)—After the reading of thole documents, I demand the arrest of Some voices—And of Cavaignac. Rewlyll—These are only cx!ravagant motions, and only deserve to be treated with couterept. 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 de fend 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 Gers, would not have hesitated to bring Cavaignac hither, bound hands and feet, if he had dared to oppoie his atrocious propositions. It must not be .conclueed, because Cavaignac put them to the vote that he ep 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 ho 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 hatas of Cavaignac are equally well known ; it may be remembered that he was on a mission in the de partment of Britanny on the 31st May, and as coon as he learnt the news of that disastrous day, he made a protest hich was published ; it was not applauding tyranny, or participating in its Lets to protest against him who had founded it. It is besides known how Ca vaignac conducted himself since the 9th Thermidor, and latterly with the army of the Rhine. then, we demand only the arrest of Rew bell—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— Numer,us Voices—lt is not demanded that he should be arrested. allmis—ln the days of the Ist, 2d, and 3d Prairial Cavaignac evinced the greatest courage; he never left me, and he perfectly seconded me iu my painful and delicate functions— SvveralVoices—There is no questionabGut 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 lute. 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. Lecomtc—l do not see that the Committee has com municated all the denunciations n hich have been made, and particularly of two very strong ones against out colleague Cavaiguac, which are common to him with Pipet, 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 Quutidienne reproduced the same calltmny; my brother Godfrey obtabed the following retractation: "In an article of the Quotidienne of the 21st May (the retractation was made on the 29th), we noticed the seen- cation 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. Gedefroy 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 publicatio❑ which was unknown to M. Cavaigiute, jun. M. Cavaignac is right in reckoning our good faith, and wo 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 Lecomte, in the first place, becausethedenun- ciation against Cavaignac was presented to the Conven tion in the first report of the Committee, made by Durand Maiflute, and that, on that ill-founded denun ciation, it passed to the order of the day. 3. Letter of M. Alexis Eymery, director of the lifer cure de France, to Mme. Cavaignae (published in the. Moniteur of 27th September, 1816). " Paris, 23d September, 1816. " Madame,--As you have proved to me the falsity of the imputation relative to M. de Lab:mere and ht dauAter, published in the article on your husband, is the small conventional biography of which M. Baptistii de Moul ices is the author, and as nothing appears to b more just than y ou demand, I hastened to cause the rec tification of that error which was commited in wof ks printed previously to that of M. de Mouliero'f. If my letter can he of any service to you I willingly consent to your making it public by inserting it in the journals. "A. EYMERY." It is certain that Mile. Labarrare ' who, according t(• biographies, bail disappeared from Dax some days afro, the death of her father, and had never afterwards been seen, had, in fact, never quitted Dux. She there con tracted a very honourable marriage, and, •in 1835, hot 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 brothet Godefroy his assistance as advocate in the prose cutioe before the Chamber of Peers, and founded this offer c his services upon the necessity of a mutual refutation of an 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 tf the French Legitimatists and Jesuits who have take' 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 Mond eur announces that M.

The Mo - niteur also publishes the decree for tht 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 bide the head of BONAPARTE, with the exergut. —Bonaparte, Premier Consul, 19th Mai, 1862; any 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 c ffigy of BONAPARTE, with the exergue of Bonaparte, Premier Consul ; Honneur et Patric. M. FREDERIC DE RAUNIER on Friday banded to General CAVAIGNAC a letter from the Archduke Joins 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 the Tuileries with the people, and found in some of the apartments, especially those of the Prince DE JOINVILLE, the most frightful disorder, the floors being strewed with maps, books, letters, Knd papers torn to pieces. A large quantity of rum :TA been found and consumed by the people in the PRINCE'S apartments. Some days later the prisoner tent to M. ARAGO, Minister of Marine, and represent e d t o him the importance of saving the maps, scientific memoirs, and valuable papers. M. ARAGO accord ingly gave him and another persona 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 department. After his being entrusted with this mission, the Provisional Government learned that the prisoner had been to London, and had given 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 leanais," belonging to the library, were found. Some time after, a newspaper, called the Drapeau de la Re publique, announced that it would publish, under the title " Portefeuille de Louis PHILIPPE," a series of letters 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 pnatter of the paper, however, declared that M. DE FONTECOII• LANT had communicated to him a letter from the Duke DE NEMOURS to the Pr: 'we DE JOINVILLE, dated 16th May, 1847, an anonyu taws note recommending the KING to get rid of certai a - Litutenant-Generals, a letter from the KING to Gel. *rat SEBASTIAN', rela tive to the marriage of Queen VICTORIA, a memoir addressed to the KING in 18 0 by M. ST. ALBIN, containing political advice, a a. 1 a letter from the KING to the Porz on thee latter's refusal to sanction the promotion of : a clergyman to the episcopacy. The prisone' admitted that he bad taken away papers belonging to the Prince DE JOIN VILLE, but said it was on the 14th February, before he was entrusted with . any 1 mission. A sentinel had ellowed . him to pass with t be m without difficulty. lle also admitted that he had fot and diamonds belong ing to the Princess, as also the d eeds of her Brazilian property. He took the papers a ud objects belonging to the PRINCE to Brussels, to dt posit them in a place of safety ; but he insisted thut he did so before he was officially entrusted with Om tail of arranging the pipets. He subsequently went to Claremont, and gave up the deeds and pa,pe rs belonging to the PRINCE and the PRINCESS. He, took great interest in the limier.; because his Royal Iliglincss had been good to him. He denied that Ise had communicated any documents to the new 'piper, except a letter written by the PRINCE in 1831 c in which he predicted w hat happened in 1848. TI to note relative to the generals he had found on the g round, and as it was not signed, be saw no improi iety in publishing it. He had since learned that it hi. i( 1 been drawn up by a general. The papers he had mc w in his possession were a letter from the Princes 3 DE JOINVILLE rind another from Queen VICTORIA to Mme.

An order had Ix en issued on the 7th to place ships coming from Ex igland 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 Of Kato were tranquil. It was reported that COSTA CALatk.t. 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 Ezernnon 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." The 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 Perlass, 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 head of 56,000 men. The Mobile Hungarian National Guard at Warasdin at once dissolved itself. The Harnburgh BorsenJuslle 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 Saantigou have retained their portc feuilles. The former has been charged with the for mation of a new Cabinet.." At Pesth and Ofen tranquillity prevailed. The BARN issued two proclamations on his crossing the Draye, 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 night. 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 gently 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 circulation 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, Doni.norF, who immediately caused large placards :u be post e d, i n w hi c h he not only gave everyrt of tiiquiet ing assur ance , b u t e v en gu aranteed tumults ults broke indemnity; n o twithstanding, fresh out this morning.

Unhappily some of the National Guards drew their bayonets against the aggressors, among whom were several guards. A fresh storm now broke out, and three battalions of military companies of the legion a ere drawn up at the Jeudenplatze. As yet the matter has not taken a political turn. The Diet will not sit to day. The Radical party is developing itself with more er.ergy than ever, and democratic and republican meetings are gaining ground.
