Sir EDWARD LYONS. watches the denouement of the stook-jobbing conspiracy THE SUN, LONDON, which recently polluted the city of the acropolis with its plots, under the auspices of the deceased COLETTI. At Copenhagen the Right Hon. H. W. W. WYNN observes, with an interest that can scarcely be appreciated in the soporific and lulling regions of Belgravia, the fortunes attendant upon the Danish standard on the banks of the Eider, and under the wails of Friederichstadt. From the revo lutionary movement of Lombardy, the irritable de mands of Bohemia, the imperative petitions from Gallicia, and the annihilation of the power exercised fir half a century over the Austrian councils by the Lord of Johannisburg, the Em peror FERDINAND has been compelled to adopt a policy such as three months ago could never have suggested itself to the sanguine imagination of Viscount PONSONBY. Even among the pageantries results of Saint Petersburgh Lord BLOOMFIELD must recog nise the precarious posture of affairs along the con • fines of Lithuania and in the interior of Russian Poland. At Lisbon Sir HAMILTON SEYMOUZ iS COM- pelled to witness the insane and retrogressive system enforced by the Ministerial advisers of the SOVEREIGN. And at Madrid the Right Honourable HENRY BULW ER has received a polite intimation that his recal by Lord PALMERSTON will be regarded as a pleasant, frag ment of intelligence by the members of the Narvaez Administration. Everywhere is doubt, trepidation, or annoyance to our Ambassadors and Plenipoten tiaries. Everywhere are the representatives of her Britannic MAJESTY tormented, worried, importuned, threatened, badgered, or regarded with suspicions. And through the whole of this Lord PALMERSTON is expected to preserve an equable temperament. Teazed to distraction himself in the House of Commons, one while by the petulant personalities of Mr. URQUHART, at another by the monstrous impeachments of Mr ClizsmoLu ANSTEY, the Chief Secretary for Foreign Affairs is expected to preserve the equanimity of his disposition, despite all the annoyances pouring into his official portfolio through the medium of his con tinental dispatches. Of all the shades and diversities of insolence evinced by certain of the Cabinets of Europe towards the re sident Ambassadors from Great Britain, the conduct those useless articles, when they can no longer with impunity take part in grand spectacles, and attract the attention and excite the envy of their gaping as sociates by their proficiency in military tactics and evolutions. The consignment of the officers and ring leaders to the several gaols and houses of correction throughout the country will moderate the ardour o the enthusiastic recruits, and induce them to have recourse to other pastimes, leading to less unpleasant Meanwhile the leader par excellence, Mr. JOHN MITCHELL, appears resolved that the gagging Act shall have no effect upon his conduct, and if the tur bulent passions of the people should be appeased, it will not be owing to any failure on his part of the usual amount of stimulating writing and of " open and advised speaking." On Monday, when, as the editor of a public journal, he must have been well aware that the Bill for the secu rity of the Crown and Government had received the Iloyal assent on the preceding Saturday, and was, consequently, at that time part and parcel of the law of the land, Mr. Mircem. presided at a meeting held at the Princess's Theatre, Abbey-street, when he an nounced that the English Chartists and the Irish people " had one common enemy to destroy—the Legislature of Englund." And he further proposed that the former " should undertake to make Eng land ungovernable by any English Government, Whig or Tory, which withheld from them their full rights, while the Irishmen would engage to make Ireland ungovernable by any Mini stry, good, bad, or indifferent." This is certainly tolerably plain and unequivocal. To do justice, however, to the " War Editor," he is by no means mealy-mouthed on such occasions ; and if sufficient grounds for a prosecution, under the new statute, were required by the law officers of the Crown, they would not long be withheld.' No religious enthusiast, in fact, ever kni t ted for a martyr's crown more fer vently than Mr. MITCHELL pines for a prosecution for something more than a misdemeanour, and it would be hard to disappoint so earnest a demand. If, however, the political horizon is cloudy with so many portentous and threatening indications, the prospect is not altogether dark ; there are some blue spots in the heavens that warrant favourable expecta tions that the tempest and storm may pass away d w r i e t s h s o e u s t o e f x g c p o e n n ti d d i n t e h i e n i r t h f u e r yon Government, ove Irish rnm en gr a t, and un e . x p Ad r es sive of the determination of the parties from whom they have emanated to support the con stituted authorities in their efforts to protect the lives, the liberties, and the fortunes of all classes, are flowing in from every quarter of the country. A knowledge of the well-disposed and loyal inhabitants is thus obtained, and if the Go vernment should see a necessity for calling on Irish men to come forward and enrol themselves for the maintenance of the peace or the country, we are sa tisfied that they would manifest similar alacrity to that which recently reflected so much credit on all classes of society in the British metropolis. The French elections are passing over with un expected tranquillity. Universal as is the interest concentrated upon them, and momentous as will be the result to which they must inevitably lead, their progress is only marked by an unusual quietude and a profound calm. And it is but right it should be so. It is but right that the interest elicited by these elections should be of too gra - ve and anxious a character to be manifested by any outward demonstration, even among a peopic so demonstrative as the French; and it is more especially well that an affair of such vital importance to the whole nation should not be marred by any, even temporary or trivial, inu-ute. The first general election of Republican France is for many reasons a subject of deep interest interesting from the present circumstances which occasion it, and in teresting from the future consequences which may follow it ; interesting to those who are actors in the scene, and interesting to the spec tators observing it. A general election is at all times worthy of attention and productive of serious thought, that is to those who have time to consider its abstract importance. Generally speaking, when an election takes place iri this country, for example, public atten tion is too much occupied with speculating as to who will get in and who will be rejected. to look upon the affair in any more extended light. But removed from the immediate scene of action, as we are now in contemplating the French, the grandeur of the spec tacle as a whole, its sublimity as an idea, becomes apparent to us. We recognise the full merits of that triumph of civilization—a representative con stitution. We witness the marvellous combination of popular liberty and public order. We see all the advan• tages of the veriest democracy enjoyed without their degenerating into the evil consequences a anarchy. We find a people, at the same time, ezer , cising authority and yielding obedience —exercising their rightful prerogatives as individual men, or se lecting their law-makers, and yielding ready obe dience, as loyal citizens, to the Legislature thus chosen by themselves and their countrymen. By this proceeding—and by this alone—the power of the people is at once proclaimed and preserved. By those unpretending and, apparently, unimportant en tries at the polling-booths, a minority of the people are invested by the rest with that power which is the birthright of all the members of a free nation, and hence the acts of that chosen minority become the acts of the whole people, whose representa tives they are. No form of government could by possibility be devised more liberal to each, and more just to all, than is a representative constitution when equitably organized. Errors and faults, inseparable from all human institutions, too often detract from the perfect character of this form of government, for the form of government itself is a perfect one. Errors and faults have crept into our own mode of organizing a representative Legislature —errors and faults which we are solicitous of having avoided and amended for the future ; but notwith standing their existence the people of this country are fully impressed with the inestimable advantages of the Constitution which they enjoy, and consequently they experience no common interest in the now *happily accelerated progress of other nations towards a parti cipation of those advantages. All the people of Europe will, ere long, be ruled by their own repre sentatives. France has for a considerable period possessed a representative legislature, but the im portance of such a Legislature will just now be manifested in an especial manner. Free from the control of a Sovereign, and free from the corrupting influences of a regal Ministry, the 'French Parlia ment will be now invested with peculiar poWer, and through recent events become the observed of Europe and the warning lesson, or encouraging example, of surrounding nations. The representatives will be pos sessed of no ordinary responsibility. Their position will be a most onerous and important one. No selfish de sires, no vain ambition, no miserable pride, should, more especially in the present instance, stimu late any citizen to solicit the suffrages of his countrymen. No interested motives, no personal friendship, no promised reward, should induce any elector to give a vote for his representa• tive—a representative who will have to represent not his constituents alone, but France and Republicanism. Let us hope theta due sense of their awful responsibility now influences the people of France whether electors or elected. In a few days the result of their delibe rations will be made known by the publication of the names of the members of the new Parliament ; and, ere long, the consequences of the election must be manifested by the decisions and resolutions of the Chamber. If—though happily such a misfortune is hardly probable—if the present elections be influenced by suck a spirit as LBDI . Roman's, the result will be speedy and inevitable— trouble for France and destruction to Republicanism. But such is not likely to be the issue of the trial. It is more than probable that the new Assembly will be comprised of men of politics and characters as various as their occupations, of which, judging from the lists of the candidates, they are likely to present an extras ordinary variety. No doubt the new Chamber will be occasionally agitated by some outbursts on the part of the violent and ultra-Republicans, and also at intervals led away by the specious reasoning of some secret partizan of the old, regime. Perhaps there may be in the list ofne new representatives unknown,someperretsentatieswh men o of genius and a bility, themselves no unimportant influence conspicuous i debate,m over tY thea s p e ed il yfn futu r e p erhapsrak ee ser of the country. All this, e de s t i nies m however, is doubtful. But one thin g is, ha pp il y , t ~f N say AEZ to her Britannic MAJ SST r's represents tive at Madrid is the most insolent and the most un justifiable. It is a becoming sequel to that ill tempered act of the Duke of VALENCIA—the banish rent of MONTP/INSIER to Seville, possibly with a view to the assuagement of his thirst for intrigue by po tations of inimitable orangeade. If a rumour emanating from the most authentic sources can be credited, Mr. BULWER has acquired the antipathy of the present Ministry of Queen Isaugma, and a direct demand for his recal is said to have been for warded by that Ministry to the Foreign-office in Downing. street. The reason for this sudden d i s like to a man who has hitherto been regarded with deferential respect, if not with p ositive cordiality will not be for one instant incomprehensible to those who have perused the communication addressed to Mr. BULWER on the 10th inst. by the Duke DE SoToMATuR. That communication is a very restive, and, in truth, an absolutely impertinent re joinder to one penned on the 7th instant by the Right lion. HENRY LYTTON BULWER, inclosing an official letter received by that Ambassador from Viscount PALMERSTON. Lord PALMERSTON'S letter, it must not beforgotten, was dated March 16th, and conveyed a salutary recommendation to the Spanish Govern ment in reference to the adoption of a more legal and constitutional system" than the one hitherto adopted by NAavAcz and his colleagues. The communication in which this letter was trans mitted to the Duke DE SOTOMAYOR by his Excellency the British Ambassador was couched in language befitting the representatives of that Sove reignty which had been principally instrumental in raising ISABELLA 11. to the throne ; and Mr. BULWER specified as much when he reminded the Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs, that " what especially distinguished the cause of Queen ISABELLA from that of her Royal competitor was the promise of constitu tional liberty inscribed upon the banners of her Ca tholic MAJESTY." In reply the Duke Da SoTo- MAYOR perversely and indeed insolently inquired w hat would be the response of Lord PALMRRSTON supposing the Spanish Government interfered in reference to the administration of the British Cabinet, to the frightful condition of Ireland, or to the unfortunate people of Asia ? " What," continued the irritated diplomatist, " what, in fine, would he do if we were to remind him that the late events on the Continent gave a salutary lesson to all Governments without excepting Great Britain, and that consequently the administration ot the State should be given up to the illustrious PEEL, to the skilful man, who, after having conciliated the general opinion of his country, has known how to merit the sympathies and the esteem of all the Governments of Europe ?" As if the Constitution of. England had been established through the assistance of Spanish valour and Spanish negotia tion, as if in any respect whatever Spain was authorised to catechise the Statesmen ot Great Britain ! In presuming to discern an analogy between his imaginary proposition and the recommendation of Lord PALMERSTON, the Duke DE SOTOMATOR misrepresents entirely the character of that communication. Instead of being a dictatorial interposition in the internal government of Spain, it was a friendly whisper of advice uttered in a period of terrible and momentous catastrophes. Let NARVIEZ beware ! or, so soon as Mr. BULWER shall nave departed homewards, the Voice of CASSANDRA nay become audible in the streets of Madrid. The peaceable and loyal inhabitants of Dublin, and indeed, of by far the greatest portion of Ireland, have been kept in constant anxiety and alarm iu conse quence of the feverish and excited state of the public mind, and the possibility of some speedy collision be tween the authorities and those who openly profess their disaffection, and avow their readiness to have recourse to armed resistance upon any the slightest provocation, or rather what they may be pleased to consider as such. The Government have adopted every possible precaution, and have made the most judicious arrangements for the maintenance of public order and tranquillity. There is no undue inter• ference with the people by which an outbreak might possibly be occasioned. They manifest a' perfect consciousness of their strength, and suffer events to pass apparently without notice that, under other circumstances, would immediately arouse them into activity.

LANLARTINg cannot fail to exert over the members •f the new Chamber the same powerful and salutary influence which he has already exercised with such effect, not only over Paris and France, but over all Europe. We anticipate the fervour of his poetic imaginings and impressive or atory stirring up the patriotism, and calling forth the latent enthusiasm of his hearers to the fulfilment of some of those high aspirations which his genius has long since prefigured. Or, we foresee how h a ppily that gentle and confiding again, spirit, which invests with so much splendour hi s beautiful and attractive language, may serve to still the rising storms of ambition, and to create the institutions of Republicanism out of the chaos of Anarchy. Conspicuous in the future of the new French Parliament, LADIAIITINS stands before us somewhat like CANNING as he appeared on that memorable occasion when he electrified the House of Commons by this audacious and magnifi cent declaration—" I call a new world into existence to redress the balance of the old !" Even so may, LAMAILTINE silence the murmurs of the envious and refractory. He, too, has called a new world into ex istence—the world of peace, and charity, and con cord—where confidence is the link. which unites peoples and governments—where sympathies are the treaties w hich unite once hostile nations ; he,'too, has called A n ew world into exi s t en ce to redress the balance of the old world, in which very different feelings pre domin a ted.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.- - Great com plaints are made of the fraudulent con = duct of Lenitu RoLLipi, LOUIS BLANC, and ALBEIT, in attempting to falsify the elections by issuing duPlicate,voting tickets, by prolonging the time for registration,- and by various other methods. The proclamation of Liwatr RoLux for keeping open the registration lists until Monday night, was issued without the knowledge of his colleagues, and has not been published in the Moniteur. With respect to the doings of the Louis BLANC party, we find the following in the Commerce : " Very grave facts, said to have occurred on Saturday, have been communicated to us. Emissaries of the Luxembourg, to the number of snore than three hun dred, have, it is said, been sent to the banlieue, with the mission of widely distributing the list of the Commission des Travailleurs. It is added, that the horses of the Garde Republicaine were placed at the disposal of these emissaries. We are also assured that electors' cards have been delivered to a great number of foreign work men resident st Paris, and that these workmen have been strongly solicited to vote for the candidates of the Luxembourg. W e hope that an investigation will be made into these facts . Fraud must not be allowed to slip into our republican elections, and falsify the ex pression of the will of the country." We find the following on the same subject in the Patrie " It is known that a proclamation of the delegates of the Luxembourg, stuck up on the walls of Paris, invited workmen t o g o to-day at six in the morning to the Champs de Mars in order to agree on the unity of their rotes. In announcing this fact, we did not hesitate to condemn the proceeding as having all the character of en abuse of influence, and we added that the working population' would refuse to obey this electoral mot d'ordre. We were right in reckoning on its good sense and intelligence. We are assured that a very small number of workmen responded this morning. to the appeal from the Luxembourg. They dispersed without coming to any decision, on the wise observations of some citizens, who made them comprehend the imprudence of their conduct." M. Caustntene, the Prefect of Police, has issued a notice declaring that it having been represented to him that very grave abuses had taken place in some of the Maivies, in the mode of distributing the voting cards to the electors, several electors obtaining two or more suihorisations ; and, moreover, it having been asserted that certain persons were bilged in buying up votes, he thinks it necessary to publish the enactment of Art. 113 of the Penal Code relating to this subject. It is there clearly affirmed, that "who ever shall sell or purchase a vote shall be interdicted f e xercising all civic rights for a space of time nroormore than ten years, and not less than five ; and in addition, both the buyer and seller shall be con s fine double the sum received or con demned It w ould appear from the following paragraph that it ma y be some time before the result of any of the elections can be known.

Lspati ROLLIN and the Communists have omitted the names of their moderate colleagues from their elec= total lists. Those colleagues, however, have had the goo d sense not to follow such a bad example. The National thus alludes to the split : e We have believed it good and wise policy to maintain t h e prine'pal of unity in the Government to the period of the m eeting of the constituent assembly. It seemed to us necessary that the men who took possession of sove reignty on the 24th of February should arrive altogether before the new chamber, to render an account of the exercise of their power. Faithful to this sentiment we continue to give the list of the central committee, with out being desirous of entering on the system of exclusion. Our independence towards all the Members of the Pro visional Government, without exception, is complete ; but our personal sympathies are nut equal towards all— we &Clare that distinctly. Still, on behalf of the repub lican cause, we have imposed silence on our private sen timents, desirous as we are to secure, before everythin:, by t he union of all democratic forces, the consolidation of the Republic. A day will come on which, resuming our full liberty, we can discuss not persons, who interest as little, but acts. That day cannot be far distant ; but see are certain that public opinion will thank us for ad. journing to the meeting of the assembly a discussion w hiutest present would only embarrass the march of the Govetument, and by consequence aid the enemies of the Republic, who are always alive, always ready to profit by 'our faults. It is impossible for moderation and patience not to prevail in the ead." fanitistu Roma?: is pursuing his career of col.. • 4 ruption and despotism with a recklessness that puts to shamOhe comparatively puny attempts of M. Du ... ciwrisr,, and the late Government. The Presse says • decree of the Provisional Government, dated''Xpril 12, inserted in the Bulletin des Lois, as No. 229, opens to M. LEDRU ROLLIN, Minister of the Interior, an extraordinary credit of 500,000 f. for extraordinary expenses of pub lic safety. The decree is not preceded by a n preamble whatever. We shall not attempt to supply that s ilence, and we shall confine ourselves to a single observation. The opening of this credit involves the supposition that tb e sum of 932,000 f. set down for the same purpose during the present year, by the law of August 8, 1847, has been completely exhausted. How.comes it to pass that this sum of 922,000 f. has been expended before a third of the yfiar has elapsed ? Do es the fault lie with M. DUCHATZL or M. LZDRU *ROLL IN ? Will it be necessary, in order to ascertain that fact, tq gait for the revelations of some Revue Retrospective ?" • Were we 'ilot right when we said a few days since that M. LNDRU Rot...ma was no Republican ? The gazette de Tribunaux gives the following account of the Montagnards, some of whose recent proceedings hir e attracted a good deal of public attention : "The Montagnards, w hose;effective force, somewhat variable, amounts to from 400 to 500 men, were formed at t h e Prefecture of Police, the first ,of them having been that small knot Republican combatants, who, headed by AL Caussidie .e and M. Sobrier, took posses sion Of the hotel on the Quai des Orfevres, in the midst of the struggle of the 24th February. The organization of this corps has never been regular, neither have its uniform and equipments. The Montagnards, without Joining any other corps, and it must be said without con. se n ti ng to submit to the severe rules of discipline, placed themselves at the moment of danger with praise worthy devotedness at the disposal of the Prefect of Police. They have, however, acquitted themselves with z eal and intelligent energy of the difficult missions intrusted to them. As a proof of their want of disci pline, it may be stated that a few days ago, in conse quence of a misunderstanding with the staff; th e corn_ EVENING.

AUSTRIA. By a decree, dated April 20, his Majesty the Est- PEIOR has commanded that the sth Regiment of Hussars, " King Charles Albert of Sardinia," and the 4th Regiment of Dragoons, " Archduke Leopold of Tuscany," shall drop those titles and adopt those of the " Field-Marshal ;Count Radetsky," and the i)ragoons that of the " Lieutenant Field Marshal i3aron Boyneburg." His MAJESTY has accepted the resignation of Count TAFFE, Minister of Finance, at his own request. The Minister of War has received the following intellipnce from the head-quarters at Verona, dated the 15th : " The enemy is inactive at all- quarters, and ap pears to have neither the power nor the courage to act on the offensive. Although the direct com munication with Ferrara is interrupted, it is known that the citadel there still holds out, and that the Commandant continues to hold the city in awe of a bombardment. The military position of Field-Marshal RADETSICT has not essentially changed ; the enemy , :ontinued to press hard upon Peachiera, but hitherto without success. On the evening of the 14th a Pied 'nontese Major, who probably came to reconnoitre the place, was taken prisoner by an outpost. According o his statement, the KING is before Peachiera in person. The commander of the fortress was offered an honourable retreat, which, however, in conformity with his duty, he declined. A few chastisements iimilar to those of Montebello and Castlenovo have - T read terror and dismay among the so-called Crociuti (Crusaders). The Field-Marshal is preparing to recommence operations with energy, so soon as his army shall have been reinforced with the corps stationed at Isonzo." This reinforcement will imme• liately take place, as the Minister of War has already received information from the Master of the Ordnance, Count NUGENT, that that corps will break up on the 16th."— Wiener Zeitung, April 20. The Wiener Zeitung, of the 221, says—" The EMPEROR has presented M. NIA.PFEI, Captain of the kustrian Lloyd's, with a large golden medal of honour, as a reward for his indefatigable exertions on )ccasion of the dismemberment of the Lombardo- Venetian kingdom, by which he succeeded in pre .prying a portion of the Austrian marine." Twenty-four insurgents, arrested with arms, h ave 'een shot at Botzen, at Tyrol. The city of T rent "as been declared in .a state of bleme. PRUSSIA. The grand proces3ion of workmen which Was to have taken place at Cologne on Monday has been oogponed. The reason given for the postponement is ;he unfavourable state of the weather. Several of the leaders in the unsuccessful attempt -0 produce an imeute in Berlin on Sunday week have ,)ern arrested. On the 22d order was completely restored at Aix-la-Chapelle. Nearly one hundred people had I)een arrested. The proceedings against them were being pushed on with vigour. This will materially contribute to preserve, in the end, the peace of the town, which in fact has not for one instant been dis -urbed since the lab- events. The Prussian Gazette announces, under date from it. Petersburgh, April 15, that in exchange for the four series of Treasury bonds which were to have oeen paid off this year, the EMPEROR has ordered the •mission of three new series of Treasury bonds of three millions of silver roubles each. The new series ill be the 12th, 13th, and 14th. A letter from Berlin, addressed to the Allgemeine Zeitung, assures us that at St. Petershurgh the ques tion of the re-establishment of Poland is under consi deration, and that there is reason to believe that under certain conditions it can be admitted. It ap pears that an Austrian General has been dispatched from Vienna to St. Petersburgh on a mission having •xclusive reference to the affairs of Poland. At Vienna nany think that a peaceable abandonment of that country is not altogether impssihle. BREsLsx, APRIL 20.—The disturbances whieh had agitated this town are completely appeased. The National Guard, which had given way at first before the emeute, frightened by the outrages committed on peaceable citizens, and not wishing to entrust the maintenance of order to the troops of the line, decided ~n throwing off their apathy. It dispersed with re .olution all the assemblages of disturbers who endea voured to form yesterday and the day before during ..he night time, arresting many of them, and resuming its old ascendancy in the town. BADEN. The Republicans under HECLRR have been defeated 411 d dispersed, but not until they had perpetrated one of the most cold-blooded and cowardly murders ever recorded in the annals of treachery. General GAQEaN, the victim of these cowardly ruffians, had been in the service of the Netherlands previous to taking the command of the Baden troops. The Frankfurter Journal, under data of the 22d, gives the following as coming from the best au thority : " Thursday morning, at five o'clock, General Gagern led his troops from Schlingen towards Kaudern, against Ilecker ; at Kaudern both parties . faced each other. A commissary of the Government again summoned the rebels to lay down their arms, but in vain. The troops then marched forward, and the rebels fell back beyond Kaudern, sod took up a favourable position. Up to this time aot a single shot had been fired; they made overtures to the general to have a parley. He, no doubt, thinking of the importance of the movement, and the effect it might have on the ene hand of raising the courage of his troops, and on the other hand et saving an effusion of blood, advanced alone, and endeavoured to save the rebels by , an impressive address ; but the only answer he received was a direct appeal to treason; made, but in vain, to the troops. The general upon this turned round and mounted his horse, anti the insurgents immediately opened a murderous fire, the general being the first who fell, struck by several balls. Such was the first act of heroism on the part of Republican Liberty 1 The troops advanced at once against these traitors and assas sins, and in about half an hour the band gave way. 100 bodies remained on the field, a fifth part being those of the troops. The insurgents were pursued and entirely routed. Otte part of them escaped to the mountains, another crossed the Rhine. One of their banners was taken. Colonel Hinkeldy, who had taken the command of the troops was not satisfied with the first victory ; he immediately attacked the second main band of the insurgents, and pursued them till nightfall." A letter from the Duchy of Baden, under date of the 21st says,— " Heckel's band met the Baden troops near Ksudern, and a serious engagement took place, whieh ended in driving back the insurgents and putting them to the rout atter a sharp fusillade. A part of the men, armed with scythes, laid down their arms, asking for quarter, and saying that they had been compelled by torce to join Hecker. Hecker, from reports, has escaped to the other side of the Rhine. The Baden dragoons com menced the attack, and fought with most determined courage. Much carnage took place on both aides. Lieut.-General Gagern, who commanded, was left on the field, which can be easily accounted for, as in Hecker's band there are excellent marksmen." A letter from Friburg, dated the 20th, at night, in the Gazette du Hzut Rhin, says,— '• Hecker's band, having had an engagement with the troops between Liel and Kaudern, has fallen back on the latter place with a loss of two cannons, where they have entrenched themuelves and raised barricades, with an apparent determination to defend themselves to the last. We do not, however, vouch for the correctness of this information." A letter from Frankfort 'of the 22 d, says,— " The death of Lieutenant- Genero Ga , rern is no longer do u b tlu l . T his officer undertook the' command of the troops of Baden, and went to Schlingen on the 19th, when intelligence arrived that the incurgents had occu pied icaudern, Ile personally re-con-twitted it during pany of the National Guard, which was to have take■ the post of the Prefecture of Police, was behind time; and when they did arrive, the Montagnards who had previously done the service, in conjunction with the National Guard, refused to allow them to enter the hotel. The captain, seeing that their force was consi derable. withdrew his men in order to prevent a colli stun. On the two following days other companies of the National Guard were also refused admittance to the hotel by the Montagnards, a refusal against which they energetically protested. On Tuesday, the day on which the rappel was beaten, several individuals were arrested for distributing Communist pamphlets, or uttering Com munist cries. These individuals, who were protected from the vengeance of the crowd by the National Guard, were sent by the commissaries of police before whom they were taken to the Prefecture of Police, some of the National Guard escorting them. On reaching the hotel of the Prefecture the Montagnards, who oc cupied all the entrances, refused to allow the National Guards to enter; they required that the warrants for detaining the accused should be given up to them, and they the❑ selected certain of the prisoners, saying that they knew them, and would answer for them. Iu vain did the National Guards insist on being allowed to place the men in the custody of the regular authorities—they were resisted and threatened, sad when at length they retired, the prisonets were set at liberty without any other formality. On being informed of these circum stances, the Prefect, M. Caussidiere, assembled the Montagnards, and expressed his indignation at their conduct. Ile told them that no one should be allowed to set himself above the laws, and that they must submit to the usual rules of discipline. He added that they should leave the Hotel of the Prefecture forthwith, aid be lodged in the building formerly occupied by the Institut des Jeunes Aveuglea. At this some murmurs of discontent were heard, whereupon the Prefect de Glared that they should not be allowed to oppose his orders, that discipline should be respected, and that they must obey willingly, or he should be obliged to employ measures to enforce obedience. On the same day, the Montagnards evacuated the Prefecture, and went to occupy the building prepared in the Rue St. Victor. It was, however, arranged that twenty of therm should do the service of the hotel, in conjunction with the National Guard and the Garde Thipublicaine. On Thursday, the Prefecture was guarded by the Mon tagnards and the Garde Republicaine, the National Guard being at the review. On Friday, a company of the let legion, under the command of Captain Mouse, went to the Prefecture to take possession of the post. On arriving they found the Montagnards in arms, ranged betore the vestibule, and barring the passage ; and their chief declared that his men would not allow the National Guard to enter the interior. .Captait Moise represented in rai❑ t the Montaguards that, as an old soldier, he must, in oleedience to tLe orders he had received, occupy the post of the Prefecture in ►pit., of all resistance. He then made a❑ appeal to the volnn- leers of the Garde 114dublicaine, who were present at but took no part in, the conflict. 'I am an old soldier,' he said, 'as Republican as those who prevent me from entering—a better Republican, perhaps, for I was the companion and friend of the four Sergens de la Rochelle, who proved the sincerity of their convictions by the loss of their heads on the scaffold. I appeal to you, young citizens-1 have an order, and I must perish or execute it.' The Garde 114publiesine cried as one man, la Garde Nationale ; enter, brave Captain !' This put an end to the conflict, and since the Nations! Guaro has done the service at the Prefecture, in conjunction with the Garde 114publicaine and the Montagnards." The following are said to have been proposed by the directors of the railway companies to the Govern ment, as the conditions on which they would give up their lines to the nation : " 1. For the companies having lines completed and in, operation, and producing a net profit above tour per cent., five per cent. stock producing dividends equal to the net profit of the last year, increased by one-third. 2. For lines at work and producing a net profit of from three to four per cent, the reimbursements of their capi tal in five per cents. at par.-3. For companies whost net profits are below three per cent —., reimbursement n s ot capital in four per cents. at par. 4. For cotnpaies whose net profit is nothing, or below three per cent , reimbursement of capital in three per cents. at par.- 5 For companies too recently in operation to calculate net revenue, reimbursement of capital in five per cents. at par, with a bonus of oue-third to those who have not borrowed, and without a bonus to those who have bur rowed. The State in each case taking the liability 0 , the loans.-6. To companies whose lines are in con struction, and whose realised capital assures their en gagements, reimbursement of capital in fives at par, with a bonus of one third.-7. For companies not able to fulfil their engagements to the State, reimbursement it fives at par without a bonus." The elections concluded at twelve o'clock on Mon. day night, and the Monileur of yesterday contains an order, signed by the Mayor of Paris, to the effect that " the general examination of the votes will take place on the 28th of April, at the Hotel de Ville ot Paris." This order lays down the regulations to be followed upon that occasion. The senior Mayor ot Paris is to preside over the operation. The mayors of the arrondissements of Paris, and of the rural communes, accompanied by delegates from the central bureau, and of the bureaux of the can tons and arrondissements, will assist, for the purpose of presenting their proses reriaux of the elections. The number of votes given in each section will then be examined and recorded. The examination being closed, the result is to be commu nicated to the Mayor of Paris and his adjoints. The candidates who shall hare obtained more than 2,000 votes at least, according to the order of suffrsges which they shall have obtained, will then be pro claimed " representatives of the people," by the Mayor of Paris. In the event of two candidates having an equality of votes, the elder candidate is to be proclaimed. If the number of candidates who shall have obtained two thousand votes and more be inferior to the number of representatives of the department, a new election for the completion of the representation is to take place in eight days. The Moniteur publishes decrees suppressing the octroi duties on pork sausages, &c., and regulating the octroi duties to be levied on poultry, fish, truffles, oysters, butter, &c. Another decree is published, placing two millions of francs at the disposal of the Minister of Public Works, for the continuation of the works on the Paris and Strasburg Railway. A decree is also published uniting the Garde , Mobile of Lyons and Rouen to that of Paris, and ordering that no more names be enrolled in the Garde Mobile. The utmost irregularity prevailed at the election., and the ballot-boxes were tampered with in all sorts of ways. The Assemblie Nationale puts the follow - ing questions to M. LEDRU ROLLIN : "Ii it true that one or more ot the b‘llot boxes were kept during Sunday night at M. Ledru Rollin's, at the Ministry et the Interior ? " Is it true that that box or boxes arrived there in a carriage, and under escort, towards eleven o'clock in the evening ? Is it true that the escort caused the carriage to enter by the principal gateway of the hotel, entrusted, during the night, to the exclusive watch of the Garde Re publicaine, while the National Guard occupied another post at the entry ef the Court of Offices. " The escort having shortly departed, to whom was their deposit remitted?—under what guard was it left? ."I.laa not the Government decreed, and did not M. Ledru Rollin himself order, in a detailed instruction, that the boxes, sealed each night, during the duration of the elections, should be carried to the Maisie, and placed under lock and key ; and should in every case be en trusted to the surveillance of the National Guard, whose sentinels were to occupy all the issues of the pace In which they were deposited?" On Monday night en attempt was made by a mob of persons to break into the mairie of the 2d arron dissement, and to carry away the electoral ballot-box of the arrondissement. Fortunately the affair was discovered in time to be prevented. The alarm was, however, so great that the National Guards were called out, and large parties of them occupied the Hotel de Ville and the twelve mairies of Paris during the night; the residences of all the members of the Pro visional Government were guarded by detachments of National Guards, and all the sentinels were doubled. The night, however, passed without any further disturbance. It would appear that it was not merely on the Bureau of the Rue Servandoni that the Ultras threatened to make a descent on Monday evening, in order to possess themselves of and destroy the votes given to the various candidates. The attack was (according to rumour) to be general. Information to that effect reached the Government, in conse quence of which a private order was gi ven that fifty men of each company of the National Guard should hold themselves in readiness for immediate service. As the night advanced heavy patrols (of sixty men each) traversed the city in most directions. The elections of deputies to the National Assembly have already commenced on board the ships of war at Brest. P.S. LACROSSE, former deputy of that city, had obtained the greatest number of votes (1,217), and after him M. LIMARTINE (980). No other member of the Provisional Government, not even M. AstAGo, Minister of Marine, had received a single suffrage. M. LEDRU ROLLIN resigned his office of Minister of the Interior on Monday, because of some proceed ing of M. RECURT, adjoint Mayor, but was prevailed upon by M. LAMARTINE to recal his resignation. BOURSE--PARIS, TUESDAY, APRIL 25. THREE O'CLOCK —' The tranquil manner in which the elections have in general passed ovt.r in Paris has had the t fleet of sending prices up to-day. The Five per Cents. have advanced 2f., closing at 62f.; and the Three per Cents. 50c., at 41f. 25c. This difference in the improve ment between the two is attributed to the circumstance .~,.,,.~ the night, and on the 20th, at four o'clock in the morning, the reveil was beat. The troops were all en route fol Bauder' at five o'clock, which was evacuated by the in surgents, who had taken up their position near the city. As soon as the General's troops entered the city, intelli s;enca was brought that the insurgents deswas ired to about repair to them, when they as serted that they would negotiate with none but the General in command?' General GAGERN accordingly rode to the outposts, accompanied only by a few horsemen. the exhorted the rebels to obey the voice o f the law, and to renounce this civil war, and not oppose the national development by these subversive tendencies, which the majority of the nation condemned. The chival rous warrior addressed a few words of peace And reconciliation to his misguided coun tr y men, but. they refused to follow his p r udent couns els, and the generous proposals which he made to them. fle was therefore compelled to return. He remounted his horse, and at the same moment he WAS traitor ously struck and mortally wounded by three balls, pa ssed two of which entered his back, a nd the third through his head. Exasperated a t seeing their chief assassinated in so cruel and perfidious a manner, the troops furiously engaged in combat w ith the reb els, who were forced to take flight , leaving a grea t " 113 : ber of dead upon the field. The troops theta, and encountered a second band of insurgentds commanded. by STRUTS.
