The midday mail brings intelligence that Doheny, one of the rebel leaders, slept on Friday night in a cabin near Thurles. Informations to that effect have been, sworn, and there is a hot pursuit after him. On Smith O'Brien's arrival in Kilmainham complained greatly of fatigue ; he slept heavily during the morning. The Waterford Chronicle, received this morning, says—" On Thursday morning, at eight o'clock, 'Waterford was `honoured' by a dying visit from Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, who arrived at our quays on board the Birkenhead war-steamer. After having a short interview with Sir Charles O'Donnell, the military commandant of this garrison, he returned to the vessel and left the city as he found it—full of disaffection ' for bad laws—bankrupts, and paupers. During the evening of the same day the Stromboli and Trident, both war steamers, also cleared out from our port." ATTACK ON THE LIMERICK AND TRALE MAIL.— ROBBERY OF THE MAIL BAG AND ARMS...—A 3 the up and down mail between Limerick and Tralee arrived yesterday at Abbey Feale, about twenty miles from Cahirmoyle, the seat of Smith O'Brien, the coach was surrounded by some hundreds of the country people, well armed, who demanded the firearms and mail bags, which were given up to them by the guard, resistance being useless. On reaching Limerick, the guard lost not a moment in reporting the circum stance to the magistrate, before whom he was under examination when the mail left for Dublin. When the two mails were attacked and robbed at . Abbey Feale, the country people seized a policeman coloured , clothes w h o h a d a warrant f or M r . O'Gorman ' s arrest, they proceeded to search him, and took from him his watch, 101., and a six-barrelled pistol, tore the warrant t o pices, and kept him in custody five minutes, when they liberated him. Sub sequently the money was r e t urne d to the constable. The varied and conflicting rumours respecting the rebel general have at length been brought to a con clusion. Every doubt has been set at rest. Mr. SPITS O'BaIE was captured on Saturday evening by one of the guards of the Great Southern and Wistaria Railway Company, at the station at Thurles, without any resistance or attempt at opposition. H e war transmitted the same evening, by special train, to Dublin, accompanied by a body of police, and, at an early hour yesterday morning, was safely lodged in her Majesty's gaul of Kilmainham. It would almost appear as if the unfortunate man was anxious to be arrested—that the wretched condition in which he had be plaeed _ .

The salons, of spl.ndid richness and taste, glittered with sparkling lu.dres ; the gold of the walls and ceilings and the fresh paintings dazzled everywhere; flowers and shrubs covered the staircases and vestibules. This delightful hotel, commenced under the royalty of Louis Philippe, with all the luxury of pure monarchies, was destined to be—who would have believed it?—inaugurated by tha Republic; one would have said it was destined to - Louis XIV. or the Regent, and it serves as a residence to the President of the As sembly born on the 24th of February. However, the Republicans of the ',title were not more embarrassed with these monarchical decorations than the Republicans of the lendemain ; they very philosophically reconciled themselves to them, and we may suppose, without too much audacity, that the tenants of the lendemain find that the palaces of the veille suit them admirably. From a spirit of conciliation, fraternity, and harmony which deserves praise, M. Amend Marrast invited men of all parties and shades of opinion to this brilliant soiree. The priacipal part of the gathering naturally consisted of the Chamber of Representatives; the .Moniagne elbowed the Plaine; the Provisionai Government jostled M. Dupin sine and M. Duvergier de Hauraune. Literature, arts, the National Guard, the Academy, our ;ntrepid army, had also their envoys, without forge. tiug the garde mobile; and it was not the least eurieu, and least. eignificative spectacle to see these children of the people, recently decorated for their bravery, mixed up with the brilliant crowd, besieging the buffets, expediting ices, and devour ing cakes under the fire of chandeliers with the same sung frold that they attacked the criminal irsurreetion of the 24th of June under the fire of the barricades. The guests sought out the men who had made the mselves a name and played a part in these last six months, which have been more fertile in events than years. General Cavaignac especially attracted all looks ; every one, in his resolved, intelligent, and honest physionomy, in which intrepidity is united to a cast of melancholy, sought and endeavoured to divine the secret anti last word of the future. General Cavaignac wore a simple black coat, and the ribbon of Commander of the Legion of Honour round his neck. He conversed for a long time with the Ambassador of England, Lord Normanby. M. Armsnd Merrast exercised this first republican hos pitality with good grace and taste. The republicans who do not love Athens will accuse him without doubt ; for ourselves, we willingly congratulate him on this Attic pexchant, even should it be a pretext of accusation and reproach against him ; and we will confess that we prefer the Republic which circulates gold among the people by fetes, to that which dries it up by insurrec tion, the Republic which softens the mind and disarms passions by arts, to that which irritates and envenoeas them by hatred and envy, the Republic singing the airs of Ro,sini to the Republic thundering murder and pillage." The Committee on the Constitution finished on Friday its labours in common with the delegates of the Bureaux. The majority of the Bureaux have declared against Art. 109, interdicting substitutes in the army. The Committee has now to prepare the definitive wording of the draft which will then again be brought before the Assembly. The Committee on Primary Instruction has ter minated its general discussion on the principles of the Bill submitted to it. It has adopted unanimously liberty of instruction, and by a majority of twelve to three the principle of obligation. Absolutely gratui tous instruction has not been admitted. A majority of eight to seven has thought that, if poor children ought to be admitted largely to the benefit of gra tuitous instruction, those who could pay ought not to be relieved from the required retribution. The aeurrier de Ifoss of Thursday last contains the following : " Our city was again the scene of some disorders last evening, and which were of a rather serious character. About nine o'clock in the evening crowds of persons be gan to assemble before the café where the previous riots had taken place, and the windows of the house were very speedily demolished. This mischief was effected so sud denly, that a post of military who were stationed at but a very short distance from the place had not time to prevent it. The mayor has issued a very strong procla mation, calling on the citizens to refrain from such acts of violence, and threatening those who offend with the utmost rigour of the law. The result of the municipal elections at the Croix Rousse are still the object of the strictest investigation ; the most flagrant acts of illegality in the arrangement of the voting lists have been already detected. The protest has already been signed, calling for the ballot to be annulled, which there is little doubt will be done.." The Conatitutiounel of yesterday contradicts a report which appeared in the Afiniteur dis Soir, of Friday, that an attempt had been made to assassinate M. THIERS, and states that the report originated from the fact of a young girl who was seated on the step of that gentleman's house having been slightly wounded by a ball, which, from no explosion having been heard by the Ipystanders, must have proceeded torn an air-gun. The author of the accident has not wet been discovered. Six hundred of the insurgents of June were sent off from Paris to Havre on Saturday night, for de portation. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE. Aso. 5. Boulogne and Amiens, 6 5 4—Northern of France, 5 1 4 L — Rouen and Havre, 8. at Boulagh, on the preceding Saturday, might be the formalities of club-life. It is perhaps one of the most ridiculous contradictions that can well he con ceived, that an lion. Member, immediately after dropping a black ball into the ballot-box at BROOKES'S or ARTHUR'S, should go down to the House and vote against the public adoption of the ballot as a system un-English, dishonest, pernicious, and unjustifiable. Yet such things have been done repeatedly, and will again and again till the end of the chapter. Forcible, however, as the arguments in favour of the ballot have hitherto been, they are now more than ever incontrovertible when the practices of treating, bribery, corruption, and intimidation have been proved in so many instances to have been in dulged in upon the occasion of the last general election. The honour of Parliament, not to say the honesty of the constituencies of the United Kingdom, are impli cated in the cause, and neither can be secured without its immediate and unconditional acceptance. There fore it is that we are beyond all expression solicitous to witness a full attendance to-morrow evening on the motion of the Hon. F. H. F. Baxix- LET. With a moderate proportion of ardour on the part of our representatives, we might even at this late period of the session further the chances of the ballot,; and secure its ultimate acceptance by the Imperial Legislature. We call upon the community to watch the result of to-morrow evening's discus. sion, and to scrutinize the division list. Let the proposition of the Hon. Member for Bristol be re garded as the touchstone of the sincerity, the prin ciples, and the conscience of the Liberal representa tives. brought — to a conclusion. Any termination was better than a continuance of his fugitive career. He could not, however, make up his mind to throw him self upon the mercy of the authorities he had so re cently set at defiance, so with the same vacillation and want of deeision that has eharacterised his every movement since be appeared in arms against his SOTEREIGN, he placed himself in a posi tion from which the slightest consideration might have convinced him there ' was no possibility of escape. The foolhardy and desperate attempt to travel by the railway-train to Limerick, where his person was well known to every inhabitant, cannot be aeeounted for on any other supposition. The following are the particulars of his capture : About half•past seven o'clock in the evening of Saturday, he entered the town of Thurles without any disguise or attempt at concealment, and walked through the principal street. There he met HULME, the guard to whom we have already alluded, and inquired his way to the station ; HIILNIE imme diately recognised the rebel chief, for whose apprehen sion the reward of 5001. had been offered, but prudently refrained from giving any alarm, contenting himself with dispatching a messenger to the barracks for an immediate party. In the mean time he determined to keep the fugitive in sight, so as to afford no opportunity of escape. Mr. O'BRIEN proceeded to the station, and procured a second-class ticket for Limerick. The clerk noticed his extreme agitation and embarrassment, but did not suspect that the pros cribed leader was in his presence. HULK!, who had followed him closely, not losing sight of him for a single moment, waited until he went to the platform, from whence he was to enter the railway carriage, and there arrester; him, seizing his arm to prevent him from drawing any weapon. A strong body of police were almost immediately in attendance, when he was conducted to the town gaol. General 111.‘DONALD, who was speedily informed of the important event, decided on sending him to the metropolis without a moment's delay, and a special train having been ob tained, he was dispatched in custody of Lieutenant M‘DoNALD, son to the General, and a party of the constabulary, over thirty in number, at ten o'clock the same evening, and before two o clock on Sunday morning he was, as we have already stated, delivered up to the Governor of Kilmainham. This capture may be said to bring the Irish rebel lion of 1848 to a conclusion. SMITH O'BRIEN was the head and front of the movement—the hope of the party, who desired to sever the connexion between the countries, and the establishment of an Irish republic. So fully was this understood, that it was determined rather to precipitate the crisis than to suffer him to get into the hands of the officers of justice. This it was that led to the premature outbreak before anything was in readi ness, and consequently to the speedy and decisive suppression of the rebellion. A number of less dis tinguished prisoners were also captured, and trans mitted to Dublin, charged with being engaged with the insurgent army in their attack upon the constables at Boulagb. It now remains to be seen in what manner the Executive will deal with the misguided men whose lives may be unquestionably forfeited for the part they have taken in the recent proceedings. We trust, however, most sincerely, that justice may be tempered with mercy, and that no human being may be put to death in cold blood. We do not de sire to extenuate the offence that has been committed, or to become the apologists of treason. The crime is, unquestionably, one of the highest magnitude, and deserving of exemplary punishment. The voice of public opinion, however, is now strongly opposed to capital punishment, and it is only in cases of wilful and premeditated murder that it will be tolerated. The general accla mation with which the first act of the Provisional Government of France was greeted sufficiently in dicated the popular feeling. The most glorious act of the glorious career of LAMARTINE was that by which he proclaimed the abolition of the penalty of death for any merely political offence. Let our own ' Government follow the brilliant precedent. They can afford to be lenient. The arch-rebel is in their hands. His principal coadjutors are fettered prisoners awaiting their trials, while the few who are still at liberty are hopeless and dispirited fugitives, lurking through bogs and lover mountains, their chief desire being to effect an escape that will for ever compel them to remain exiles from their native land. Let not the exultation that must be felt by every loyal and well-affected subject be damped by pity for the sufferers. Let not the triumph of the loyalists be tarnished by any sub sequent cruelties perpetrated in the name of our most gracious and benignant SOVEREIGN. How gladly would we see the pages on which the political butcheries of 1715, 1745, 1798, and 1803 are recorded erased from our national history. What disgust is excited when we read of the mis taken, but high-minded and gallant men who fought for what they believed to be the right, being stran gled on the gallows, and their heads exhibited to frighten the community. What sympathy do we feel with the sufferers—what horror for their perse cutors. Is not the name of JEFFRIES a bye-word and a reproach ? Let us not then practise what we so entirely disapprove of on the part of our fore fathers. Let us rather establish a precedent on which we may relect with satisfaction in future. Let the traitors be punished severely. Let the chief delinquents be banished from their native land, in which they occasioned disturbance ; let them be de prived for ever of the liberty they have abused, but spare their lives. If they should be executed they will be regarded as martyrs and heroes, and perhaps the seeds of new rebellions may be sown under their scaffolds, manured by their blood, and ripened into an abundant harvest. Spare them, and contempt is the only feeling that will remain. The Irish nation will be taught that they have, indeed, a mild, a paternal, ansl a benignant Government, incapable of cruelty or oppression, and the best practical refutation ' will be given to the calumnies that have so long been uttered by mischievous demagogues, and to he which the misguided people lent too ready a credence. Although the popular will has been baulked in a great measure by the refusal of Parliament to take into its consideration the wholesale innovations pro posed by the Hon. Member for Montrose, we have still another chance of turning to advantage the other wise idle and unprofitable session of 1841. Quickly as we are approaching to the important season of grouse-shooting, there is yet within the grasp of our representatives one last opportunity. Thanks to the Hon. Member for Bristol, one of the brightest dreams of political improvement may even at the eleventh hour be realised. To-morrow the motion of the Hon. F. H. F. BIRIELBT, in reference to the ballot, will be in troduced to the attention of the House of Commons, and, as a judicious preparation, we observe that the subjoined circular has been sent round to no less than one hundred and seventy of the popular repre sentatives : " TO MEMBERS Or PARLIAMENT. " THE BALLOT. " Your attendance is respectfully requested on Tues day, the Bth instant, to make and keep a House fo r th e discussion of the above question, which will come on early." Earnestly do we hope that the notification may be productive of good in the way of insuring a sufficient attendance of supporters to what we cannot but regard as a cause intimately blended with the morality of elections, with the prosperity of the mul titude, and with the maintenance of the representative system of government. Of all the demands made by the political reformers of this generation, not one is so fruitful in argument, not one is so justified by events, not one, we may safely undertake to say, is so imperatively required, both by honesty and common sense as the ballot The reasoning of its advocates, is in every respect as clear and irrefragable as the demonstration of the first proposition of Euclid. From the time when CHARLES JAMES Fox illuminated the merits of the ballot with his eloquence, down to the day when Lmon HUNT penned his brilliant essay upon its advantages, the opponents of the measure have been c om p e ll e d to restr i c t th emse l ves t o th e shal lowest sophist r i es an d th e ver i es t p l a tit u d es . B e y on d which it must never be forgotten that those who are the bitterest antagonists of the system, as applied to electioneering, are among the very men who are of all THE SUN, LONDON, VION'DAY EVENING. AUGUST 7, 1848 created great discontent. The colonel, AL KAl6ton, has caused the s!tidents to be disart-ned, and arrested, though by law they are authoriFed to carry arms. The members of the Left in the Na tional Assembly are placed under a species of sur veillance under the constables, who seem to follow all their steps." The existence of the cholf-n& in Berlin was t.ffi cially announced on the 30th ult. The Prussian Gazette of Berlin, of the 29th ult., says :—" We learn from a source worthy of credit that General VON BuLoi,v has left for Vienna, carry ing to the Archduke Jour.; information that the Prus sian army formally refuses to pert. nu obedience to him as Vicar-General ~ f the German Empire." arm:es : ITAI _ - -qi~~r ---. LOMBARD Y AND V L.IS ICE. The Italian correspondent of the Journal des Debats gives the following account of the relative position and forces of the Austrian and Sardinian We learn by leilers from Milan of the lit inst. that ;he city of Cr.Toona,•ou• the Po, has been occupied by the Au-trians, and shut the hedamotese army hasp re tired to Codogno, a town two Itaguea trona Rizzig hetone, a fortress s.itutite ou the Ltm•rr Adda, 16 leagues from Milan. From Corlogno the yiedtuonte,e army may direct its movpinenta either ..n Ludi, WI tie road to Milan, or on Pavia, on the north or the Po, or, lastly, on Placentia, on tho smith bank, in the, direction of Tortona and Alexandria. Ab thi- last mov, , unent would leave Lombardy completely exposed, we miy be cer tain beforehand that Charley Albert will maintain himselt with tuergy on the line of the Adda. Mar shal Radc , tzky has at hts command not 50,000 to 60,000 men, as was first ,toted, but 80,000. It is positively asserted that he has 10,000 Bavarian volunteers who have joint-ci him from the Tyrol. Since the 22d ult. he has been every day re- ceiving strong reinforcementr. The troops 8 ,..ut from Austria and Illyria across the Veretiatt provinces per form two and three stages a day on waggons, which are hired and regularly paid tor. It is b ) this menus that the force of the Marshal on the Adige has been doubled. The Piedsnontese commanders appear to have been completely ignorant of the strength and the, preparations made by the enemy. The veteran Marshal has taken every advantage of his success and of the superiority of his forces. Let us hope that under the protection of the fortress of Pizzighetone, the Piedinontese army, reduced at this moment to 45,000 men, may be able to receive the reinforcements which will be directed from Piedmont, and arrest the alarming progress of the enemy." The following official bulletin was published at Milan on the 31st ult.:-- "On the 29th ult, the King's head-quarters were established at Cit de 'Quinzani, near Cretni,na. On the following day the Kiug was at Crernuna. About half- put nine, A.M., a cannonade was heard near the Oglio. The King and his staff hastened to the scene of action. In the exchange of shots we had one cannon dismounted, the enemy two. The Italian army, while sustaining with advantage the enemy's attacks upon the rear, is directed towards Piurghetone to rake up strong positions on this side of the Adds. The King has given the most solemn assurance that he would come to the defence of Milan. Hopes are entertained that French assistance, now formally demanded by the Piedmentese Ministry and by the Provisional Guvernmeet of Lom bardy, will soon arrive to reinforce the Italiau army. The brave inhabitants of Sermide, beyond the Po, have barricaded their town, and, after fortitying it as well as they could, twice repulsed the enemy, who the second time was 800 strong, with two cannon. Captain Cas telli, at the head of 500 men, arrived there to protect the surrounding country from turther depredations; the battalion of volunteer Chasseurs of the Upper Reno marched on the 27th for Bondeno, and on the night of the 28th the troops of Colonel Morandi, consisting of the 2d battalion Italia Libera and the legion of the Italian Association, were sent to Cento. Letters from Bologna, of the 28th, state that General Pepe made a sally from Brondolo with 14,000 men. It appears that he intends taking possession of Rovigo, and turn to wards the Po." A letter from Milan says--." The proclamation of King CHARLES ALBERT has produced a great effect at Milan, and drawn to the KING all hearts. The Republicans, lately so troublesome, have ceased for the moment all opposition. Adversity enlightens them ; they are forced to admit that the KING and his army are the true defence of the country." The Tentidue .kfarzo of Milan, of the 31st ult., contains several decrees of the Provisional Govern ment, ordering the admission of all sorts of pro visions into Milan duty free, menacing with destitu tion any public functionary who neglects his post, establishing a permanet Council of War, and putting in requisition all breaks possessed by private indi viduals for the service of the State. A circular has also been issued to all the curates of Lombardy, re commending them to preach patriotism " from the pulpit, in the squares, and wherever the people meet." In a proclamation to the people the Committee of Public Defence states that General MAl%l7l=O PANT! has arrived, and that consequently the Committee is complete, and hopes to derive great advantage from his experience of guerilla warfare acquired in Spain. It further states that the Piedmentese army, concentrating along the Oglio, is reorganizing—its artillery is complete ; Brescia is placed in a state of defence ; the enemy has been repulsed with loss from the Tonale; the defiles of the Stelvio and Caffaro are secured; and that, in a council of war held that morning (30th ult.), after a mature examination of the means of defence, it had been unanimously decided that Milan would resist at all costs. " Let us, then (says the proclamation), be seized with the same ardour of the five immortal days. Let us raise our barricades again, cut the bridges, the dykes, the roads; let us put desolation between us and the enemy; let us prove that we can resist misfortune, and that, should an overwhelming force menace us, we deserve the assistance and sympathy of all Europe. We possess many elements of secure con fidence, but we must be prepared. And, should GOD call us to a terrible trial, we will sustain it in trepidly, in the faith that the day of his justice will dawn." The Avvenire ditalia of Milan, of the 31st, an nounces that ANTONINI and GARRIBALDI had left Milan, at the head of 6,000 men, on their way to Brescia. The Piedmontese Gazette of the Ist inst. publishes a letter from General WELDEN to the Provisional Government of Venice, in which, after informing them of the victory of the Austrians, he advises them to treat for peace. The Provisional Government, in its answer, informs General WELDEN that Venice cannot treat alone in a cause which belongs to all Italy ; and that, even though that cause were re duced to Venice alone, it would still be far from being lost. The Venice Gazette of the 27th ult. publishes the following bulletin :—" The brave garrison of Bron dolo marched out on the 26th to the attack. The Austrians were repulsed beyond their advanced posts, and our troops re-occupied the positions of C asa Pasqua, and along the canal of Pontelungo that of La Casetta. Thus the ground we lost yesterday has been regained. It is now being fortified, and will be maintained." The Austrians entered Cremona soon after the Piedmontese army had left it on the 31st ult., and imposed a contribution of two millions of francs. The KING'S head-quarters are established at Casal Puster lerzo, on the Adda. The following are the terms on which RADETZLY would consent to accede to the KING'S proposition for an armistice of ten days : " Ist. The Piedmontese army shall retire to the Adda, and separate its cause from the Venetian. " 2d. Venice, Reggio, Modena, Parma, and Pia cenza shall be immediately given up." The KING'S reply was—" Let RADETZKY learn that the Piedmontese army can only answer such conditions with the cannon." RADETZILT has issued a proclamation to the people •f Lombardy, recalling them to their allegiance, and promising them liberal institutions. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHAN GE-MONDAY. The arrivals of all kinds of grain of home produce up to our market last week were on a very moderate scale, but those of Flour were on the increase. From Ireland and Scotland very little grain came to hand. Thu im ports from abroad consisted of 14,232 quarters of Wheat, 1,531 ditto of Barley, 17,093 ditto of Oats, 855 ditto of Beans, 286 ditto of Peas, 8,245 ditto of Linseed, 9 ditto of Rapeseed, 106 ditto of sundry sorts, and 212 sacks of Flour. The quantity of English W heat received fresh up for this morning's market was but moderate, the tiwe of year considered; yet it was quite equal to the wants of the millers and others, whose attendance was tolerably extensive. 'rhe show of samples of both red and white was small, compared with that on Mon day last, while the demand for all descriptions was steady, at prices about equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight. The market, however, notwithstand ing the changeable state of the weather, closed somew hat heavily; and a total clearance was with difficulty effected. There were a few samples of new Wh ea t i n the market from Essex and Kent. The prices asked ruled from 54s to 56s per quarter; but we heard of no transactions. The quality of the samples was by no means first-rate. The best samples of free Foreign Wheat moved off steadily, at full rates of currency. The middling and inferior kinds were, however, dull, and to be purchased on somewhat easier terms. Parcels in bond and on board were neglected. Scarcely a sample of English 11aeey was brought for ward, and the supply of foreign was small. On the whole the Barley trade waa steady, but we have no change to notice in prices. The sale fur all kind- of Malt was slow. Parcels on the spot, however, produced full currencies without difficulty. With Oats we were very scantily supplied. Really sound Corn was held at a trifle more money, and the value of other kinds was well supported. One or two cargoes have arrived to-da) from Germany. All kinds of Beans moved off steadily at last week's prices. Peas were steady at last Monday's currencies. In Indian Corn and Meal very little doing. 'rhe Flour trade was ateady. In prices we have nu chsoge to notice, WALLACHIA AND 314)LDAVIA The Russians have not advanced further than the J a ssy. The Provisional Government of Wallachia is reinstalled at Bucharest, hlld its authority is every- where recognised. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. The Frankfurt journals of the 3d announce the arrival in that city of Lord COWLEY, in capacity of Ambassador extraordinary from her Britannic MA JESTY to the central power. BADEN. We learn from Carlsruhe that orders were received there on the 30th ult. for a regiment of infantry with a detachment of cavalry to march for Schleswig, and that a similar order had been sent to Wiesbaden. These troops, it was said, were intended to act against Denmark, conjointly with those of the other states of the Confederation. HOLLAND. The following answer has been sent by the King of HoLLAND to the address of the Council of Itt of Maestricht, relative to the Limburg affair, de manding the continuance of the territory as it now stands : " The Hague, July 2,. " The King has authorised me to intoriu you relative to your address of the 15th, that the views, intentions, and designs of his Majesty relative to Limburg in gene • ral, and Maestricht in particular, which were recently communicated either by his Majesty himself, or in his name, to a committee chosen from amongst you, have not changed since; that in paying attention to what has been done since by his Majesty with regard to Limburg and Maestricht, and particularly the sending one of the King's Ministers to the Duchy, the Council of Regency will be able to see the most evident marks of the interest which his Majesty takes in the preservation of the pro vince with its capital, and of the solicitude which ani mates him for the well-being of the inhabitants; and that the Council of Regency may be assured that his Majesty will not grow lukewarm in this task, but that in all circumstances he will prove by acts that he has at heart the advancement of the well understood interests of the inhabitants of the town of Maestricht. " J. M. DE KEMPENAER." The decision of the KING with respect to the resig nation of M. DONILER CURTIUS is not yet known. That gentleman attended a Cabinet Council on the 2d instant. THE HAGUE, AUG. 5. -- REVISION or THE FUNDAMENTAL LAW. - The Government has replied to the observations of the Second Chamber of the States General on the projects of law relative to the revision of the funda mental law. Before examining these observations article by article, the Government replies to the five principal questions presented by the Chamber under the head of " General Observations." The following is a translation of the first part of this document : " The Government has seen with satisfaction that the Chamber, as well as the Government, has but one view—that of satisfying moderate wishes and of avoiding all extremes. It passes immediately to the reply .of the five principal questions, which have especially fixed the attention of the Chambers, of the revision of the fundamental law had before pro duced, as well as the opposite views and opinions which had been expressed on this point, togethea with the hopes which had been awakened in the nation ; and convinced that it was impossible to stop at ex pressed opinion on one branch of the Legislature, while the other branches were not even heard, and when the KING himself, as head of the states, ought, for the interest of his people, freely to make such propositions which, under such circumstances, he may judge necessary. It is his prerogative as King and his duty as chief protector of the kingdom which have induced his MAJESTY to adopt the course which he has now done." By means of a calm examination, of which the Chamber has already furnished a proof in its report, this method will undoubtedly lead to a satisfactory solution of the question. We must here mention a separate note which was added to the report by a member of the Chamber. In this note a twofold revision is proposed— one, the basis of which shall be laid by this Chamber; and the other, more developed, to be confirmed by a new Chamber. It is not to be denied that the motives de veloped in this note are important, but the Govern. ment judges it right to reiterate the remark which it has already made on this subject, viz., it is absolutely necessary, at the present time, to maintain energeti cally the state of constitutional matters ; that the na tional representation, such as it now is, gives its con currence to the Government until a new order of things shall have been established. But it will be very different in proceeding to a partial and tranquil lizing revision of the fundamental law, and it might besides result that the second revision might be con trary to that prescribed by Art. 227 of the funda mental law, and render the ultra-revisions far from easy. The Journal de la Hayc of the 4th of August, contains the report addressed by the Minister of Justice, ad interim, to his MAJESTY, which he con cludes with the following words : " I solicit this dismission with the greater tran quillity of mind, as the work of the revision of the fundamental law is terminated, and u the Govern ment will doubtless take the resolution not to in terfere. The Committee of Reports on the twelve projects of law relative to the revision of the funda mental law have judged it expedient to submit to the examination of the sections the reply of the Government to the observations of the Chamber, in order that it shall be ultimately published with the general report of the Chamber before the twelve pro jects of law shall be brought under public discus sion, with the deliberations of the Chamber, but to leave it to decide whether in the adoption of the twelve projects of law, it desires to give satisfaction to the nation, or by their rejection to peril the tranquillity of the country." BELGIUM. The Monitesr Beige of the 4th August contains the treaty of commerce and navigation concluded between his Majesty the KING of the BELGIANS and his Majesty the KING of the Two Srciuss on the 15th of April, 1847. The document is in French and Italian. . _ The potato disease has appeared in Belgium. POLAND AND RUSSIA. THE CHOLERA. Letters of the 26th ult., from Tarnopol, Austrian Gallicia, state that the cholera had broken out with great intensity at Okopa, in Russia, 30 leagues from Tarnopol, and that it had extended with extreme rapidity to the western frontier of Gallicia, where it was raging with violence. According to letters received at Cracow on the 27th ult., the cholera is making dreadful ravages in the Caucasus, carrying off great numbers of Circas sian* and Russians. All military operations have, it is said, been suspended in consequence of the malady. 'We read in a letter from Rigs, of the 28th ult.— "The cholera is unfortunately gaining ground here. During the 22d, 23d, 24th, and 25th of July, there have been 1,043 new cases and 529 deaths. On the morning of the 26th the number of patients was 878, or about one in forty of the whole population. The cholera has also appeared at Nitau, the capital of Courland." Her Royal Highness the Duchess de Nemours, accompanied by Sir George Couper, left her Majesty's hospitable roof at Osborne, Isle of Wight, on Saturday afternoon, and embarked at Osborne in the steam yacht Fairy, which conveyed the illustrious lady to Gosport, whence her Royal Highness and Sir George returned to London by the halt-past fire o'clock train on the South- Western Railway. The annual white-bait Ministerial dinner at Greenwich, indicative of the close of the session, is fixed for Saturday, the 19th instant, and the prorogation, by the Queen in person, will take place in the following week. .yt GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The Frew! fort Journal, under the head Vienna, 29th July, says— " The courier sent to the E m p eror a t I ns p ruc k re turned with his dispatch unopened. The report is that his Majesty would not receive the dispatch, because he had not recognised the Ministry. It is, however, said officially that the Emperor would not receive it for the sole reason that the Archduke John, his Lieutenant, was still at Vienna, and therefore that he alone ought to be addressed, and that it belonged to him only to send dis patches to the Emperor. Nevertheless, this incident has created a new excitement. Propositions for abolish ing the privileges of the noblesse have been made to the Constituent Diet, but it is not believed that they will be adopted by the As s embly. The conferences on the Hungro•Croat question commenced yesterday at the residence of the Archduke John, who will leave Vienna on the 15th of August." The Vienna , Gazette of the 30th ult. says—" The Archduke Joni, in order to establish himself perma nanently at Frankfort, has resigned his appointment of Lieutenant to the EMPEROR. Consequently, the Council of Ministers has resolved to send the Minister of Commerce to Inspruck to establish a direct com munication with the EMPEROR for the dispatch of public business." By letters from Vienna of the 21st ult. we learn that the address to the EMPEROR had been adopted by a large majority, and that a deputation had been nominated to convey it to Inspruck. The Archduke Joan had issued an address to the people of Vienna, in which he says that, on the eve of quitting them, to assume the duties of Vicar-General of the Empire, he feels impelled by his heart to address some words of friendship to them. He then expresses his profound gratitude for the cordial sympathy and noble confidence they have so often shown him, and exhorts them to place confidence in the Constituent Assembly and in the Ministry, and to prove that the Austrian knows how to unite the sentiment of his new liberty with his old love and fidelity to his EMPEROR. He adds that, although his heart beats for the German nation, he shall always feel a profound attachment to his own beloved country, and he promises in his new situation to serve it and its people as much as he can. HUNGARY. Letters from Pesth, of the 25th ult., state that the Archduke STaruxrt had left for Inspruck, with forty-five deputies, to pray the EMPEROR to go to Hungary. An early rupture between the Aus trian and Hungarian Ministries was considered ine vitable. A proposition of the Opposition in the Chamber of Deputies to suppress the Chamber of Magnates has been rejected. A Bill for the emanci pation of the Jews had been referred to a Committee. Another letter says " The intelligence from the Ban nat is unfavourable. General DX BECHTOLD has abandoned the positions he occupied. The insur gents, said to be 23,000 in number, and all old sol diers, boast of having gained a decisive victory. The Archbishop of Carlouits, JOSEPH RAJACHICK, has made a solemn entry into Pane Soya, coming from Agram. He carried a cross in one hand and a naked sword in the other, and entered the church, where he harangued the people energetically, exhorting them to continue the struggle. Military honours were paid to the Archbishop by the Commandant of Pane Soya. The Archbishop had 2,000 well mounted in surgents with him." PRUSSIA. A Berlin correspondent writes on the Ist to the Gazette of Aix-la - Chape lle :—" Last evening the President of Police published an interdiction against meetings ; but this has not prevented their being more numerous than ever. Constables came to disperse them, and some conflicts ensued, and the burgher. guard interposed. Several persons were woun d,,d ' and some prisoners taken. The or g anization o f the constabulary force seems to hav e been the cause of all the disturbances which have taken p l ace , and has SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 31st ult. have arrived. The Gaceta contains decrees appointing Senor PIDAL to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the Duke DE SOTOMAYOIL to the Embassy of Paris. It also publishes a certificate by the QUEEN'S Physicians to the effect that she positively had a miscarriage, after having been enceinte for two months. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The two great subjects which at present occupy the attention of the French capital are, first, the an nouncement, by M. GOUDCUAUX, when he withdrew his Mortgage-tax Bill, of his intention to introduce forthwith a measure for imposing a general income tax, and secondly, the question of intervention in the affairs of Italy. On the former of these questions we find the following in the Con.stitutionnel:— " hl. Goudchaux, in withdrawing his decree on the mortgage credits, announced that he will present, in the course of a few days, a Bill for the establishment of a new tax on revenue. He added, that it was a notice which he thought right to give them, in order to con vince the majority of the Assembly which had supported him in the last sitting but one, that Le did not abandon his measures. We ask pardon of the Minister of Finance, but he seems to us to confuse matters ; those who rejected the measures proposed under the form of a tax on mortgage credits did not declare against the establishment of a tax on revenues, and M. Goudchaux ought not to have caused it. to be understood that the new measure would necessarily have for adversaries those who combatted the measure which has just succumbed. M. Thiers showed, on the contrary, in opposing the tax on mortgage credits, that it was essentially distinct from the tax on revenues; that far from preparing and leading to it, it was precisely the negation of it, since it is reality constituted a tax on capital; that whilst the tax on mortgage credits had the double inconvenience of falling on the honest capitalist, and of causing a rise in the state of interest, the tax on revenues, by the simple reason that it addressed itself to all revenues, had the double advantage of weighing equitably on all fortunes, and of not acting on the price of capital. The proposition of a tax on revenue requires to be ex amined with attention—not that it raises grave objec tions, those which result, for example from the diffi culty of knowing the situation and all the fortune of each individual; bat it is a proposition which ought to be taken into serious consideration, and, for our part, we will study in an impartial manner and with the best dispositions, the measure announced to us by M. Goud chaux." The state of affairs in'ltaly was the subject of much and anxious deliberation at a Cabinet Council which was held on Saturday. The result of that delibera tion may be gathered from the following, which ap pears in the National of yesterday " Although the news from Italy to day is bad, we do not lose the hope of seeing the independence of that country come triumphant out of the struggle, without an armed intervention by France. We know what just susceptibilities the presence of a foreign army, however friendly, awakens in a people; we respect the sentiment now as we have ever done, and we should be most happy to see Italy owe her deliverance to herself alone. France has her eye on Lombardy. The defeat of the Sardinian army creates duties for us. Our Government will know how to fulfil them. Let republican France, strong in her disinterestedness, speak—she has a right to be heard. Austria will comprehend that the more we have shown the desire of keeping off the entry of our troops, the more energetic will be our action if we be compelled to draw the sword. Italian independence is henceforward a settled fact (un felt acquit). Austria would show her wisdom in accepting it with a good grace. The media tion offered by France will not surely be repelled by an enlightened Government, for by so doing it would assume upon its head, in the presence of Europe, a grave respon sibility. Who can tell where events would stop after the first cannon be fired ? These are sacrifices sug gested by interest as much as by justice. Italy is lost for ever to Austria: why, should she obstinately opposo this inevitable fact, and compromise, by a useless resist ance, what remains to her, and which might escape from her grasp if she does not decide to yield while yet there is time?' The iraios says— " The missions of the two Italian envoys to the French Government are essentially different. M. Guerreri, from the Government at Milan, applies for an immediate intervention, while Al, Ricci requires only that the principle of intervention should be admitted, and that a French army shall pass the Alps only when King Charles Albert shall no longer be able to resist a new shock with the forces at his disposal. The answers of General Cavaignac to both have been full of reserve; remarking to them that the Italian question, being of a nature to bring on a very long war, rewired very mature reflection. In consequence of his conferences with them, a Council of Ministers has been held, at which it was resolved that two of the regiments en camped at St. Maur should march for the frontier of the Alps. This resolution was yesterday morning begun to be carried into execution. It does not, how ever, in any degree prove that the , Government proposes to intervene. The departure of a few troops under such circumstances cannot be considered as any thing more than a measure of precaution, The Italian question would become complicated were it true, as has been stated, that the government of Milan has decided to declare itself against Charles Albert, and proclaim a Republic. It is said that the regiments from the camp at St. Maur are to be immediately replaced, in order that the effective military force for preserving order in Paris and its environs may not be reduced." The account of the marching of troops from St. Maur for the frontier is confirmed by the Cone /erg The Journal des 'Yeats suggests a joint mediation by France and England, and the following from the Currier Francais tends certainly to induce a belief that the mediation of England has been requested. The Cowrrier Francais says— "An envoy from the Austrian Government, M. de Schnitzer, has arrived in Paris, on his way to London. His presence here has given rise to numerous supposi tions. To understand these, we must refer to certain facts, which, perhaps, the public has not paid sufficient attention to. Three months ago M. de Schnitzer went to the head-quarters of King Charles Albert, to make proposals for an arrangement. His offers were not ac cepted. Two months after he renewed his proposals, and demanded, as the basis of an arrangement the abandonment to Austria of that part of Italy which lies to the east of the Adige. We do no not know what answer King Charles Albert gave to M. de Schnitzer, but it is certain that the conferences between the Aus trian Envoy and the Councillors of the King were both numerous and prolonged. Now, the Austrian Envoy is going to London. The late events in Italy give a pe culiar interest to this mission. Reports have been cir culated that England, having offered to Austria her me diation in the affairs of Italy, Austria, notwithstanding the late successes of Marshal Radetzky, has consented to this arrangement, on the bases proposed by M. de Schnitzer.' The Bies Public advocates armed intervention, while the Cisoutanerce, in noticing the reports in circu lation, says— "We still hope that the Executive Government, before taking the perilous step of crossing the Alps, will consult the National Assembly - and that the Assem • bly in its turn will consult public opinion, the state of our finances, our veritable interests, and those of civili sation." The French Government seems to be daily conso lidating itself, and Paris is gradually re-assuming its l v a magnificent l e wonte o d f tghaeieNtienstionOalnAFsrsiedmayb,ly, ga M AREAPT, Presi dentee at his official residence, the following account of which appears in the C'eastitutionnel:— " At nine o'clock the magnificent hotel of the Presi dency invaded by an, anxious crowd presented a spec tacle which had not been seen since 24th February. Crosses and decorations shone on breasts, ribbons were displayed in button-holes ; ladies in gauze and lace, and perfumed—a beautiful race , which was believed to have been lost, were found agitating the fan and smelling the boupet of newly-blown flowers.

We were souv-what heavily supplied with the foreign stock to-day, in the general quality of which, with the excep tion of the Beasts from Portugal, in number twenty-nine, a decided improvement was noticed. On the whole the demand was steady, and a fair clearance was effected, at about last week's prices. From our various grazing dis tricts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up this morning were moderately extensive as to number, but theii general quality was by no means first-rate. As the weather continued chaegeable and the attendance of buyers was far from large, the Beet trade was in a sluggish state, at prices about equal to those obtained on this day se'nnight. The highest figures for the best Scots were from 4s to 4s 2d per 81b. The arrivals of beans tor to-day's market from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire, and the northern coun ties, consisted of about 1,200 Scots, short-horns, &c.

With Sheep, we were season ably well supplied. Their general quality, how ever, was not to say prime; and there was a great scarcity of the best old Downs. For all kinds we have to report a very steady inquiry, at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond last week's quotations, and at which a good clearance was effected. There was a full average supply of Lambs on offer_,- nevertheless, the demand for that description of stock was firm, at Friday's advance in the currencies of 2d per 81b.

Edward Adams, a well-dressed young man, was brought before Mr. Bingham, in custody of Inspector Lund, of the A division, under the following circum stances:— Inspector Lund said, on Saturday ev en i ng h e was on duty at her Majesty's Theatre, in the Haymarket, when he saw a lady drop the pocket handkerchief, now pro duced, near the box entrance. A g ent l eman w h o was pass i ng a t the time drew it accidentally along the pavement with his walking stick. The defendant, who was standing close by witness, saw this and ran forward, and snatching it up put it in his pocket, and was walking off with it, when a con stable who was pr e s ent stopped him and brought him to witness. He asked the defendant to deliver up the handkerchief', and told him that it belonged to a lady who had gone into the theatre. The defendant said be should do nothing of the kind, it did not beloeg to witness, and he, therefore, could not have anything to do with it. Witness then asked him for his name and address, and informed him that be had seen him pick up the handkerchief, and if he did not give it up he (witness) should take him into custody. As defendant refused to comply with either nquest, witness took him to the station. In answer to the charge, the accused said he was is waiter, and had been out of a situation six months. lie admitted picking up the handkerchief; and thought he had as much right to it as any one else. Mr. Bificuast—What might have been the legal character of defendant's act before he was told by the constable that the handkerchief was dropped by a lady just before, and that the moment he was told by the constable that he had seen it drop ; by detaining it was an act of positive theft, or, in the term of the law, lar ceny. It might h ave b een j ust poss ibl e t h at h e might have been ignorant of that fact. He would, therefore, give him the benefit of that doubt, and discharge biro with a caution. MITE/MITA FIRES.—Two extensive fires occurred this morning, both of them attended with great loss of property, and one with severe injury to a female. The last fire happened at a private house in Duke-street, Aldgate, about three o'clock, and although one of the best localities in the City for assistance from the fire stations, the upper part of the premises were consumed and the adjoining house damaged. The loss is covered by insurance in this instance. The first fire occurred in a broker's shop at Dockhead, and from the nature of the property in the house, caused the whole to be de• stroyed. The female above alluded te, in the confusion that prevailed, threw herself into the street. She was removed in a dangerous state to Guy's hospital. EZITIIIMENTS IN Tfl MAISNES.

Chalmer , Assistant Director General, attended at the Practice Range of the Royal Arsenal, in the Plumstead-marshei; yesterday afternoon, to witness experiments with a new concussion shell, the invention of a Mr. D. A. Tucker , and which, in military circles, has caused almost eS much curiosity as the long range of Captain Warner, partly from the difficulty of procuring an effective con" cussion shell, and partly from the very high merits which the inventor laid claim to for his shells. He 8 1 91 it can be manufactured to any calibre," can be fire' from " cannon on the old principle," explodes by simple contact with body, hard or soft, ensures a longer range , greater certainty of range, safety in handling and trans porting, so that it can be stowed on a vessel's deck during engagements; explodes equally well under water , not being dependent upon ignition, and is fearfully de structive. Lie also guarantees to alter all the existing shells in the service to his own principle. Six rounds only were fired from Z2-pounder guns at a ranges of 400 yards. Tho four first shells burst on striking the target , the fifth a few seconds after striking the target, and the sixth appeared to be a failure. The experiments wer e constantly interrupted by the movements of variou s vessels which passed up the river within the line of fir e ' mien PROVIBIONS.—The vessel Queen Victoria arrived in the river from Waterford, has brought 1,9 87 firkins of butter, 227 bales of bacon, 70 barrels and 100 kegs of lard, &c ; and the Corkscrew, from Cork, b l 9 brought 2.845 firkins of butter, 150 kegs of lard; 14 4 packages of salmon, several of eggs, and other articles; the City of Limerick, from Dublin, 131 firkins of butter , 156 of paper, and it general cargo of merchandise; the Ajax, from Cork, 1,650 packages of butter, 434 h sc of ages ot fish, 80 bales ot bacon, 150 boxes ot eggs. 21 general provisions, 210 of soap, 41 head of live csttleer and several packages of port; r, lard, whisky, and ()th orn articles, the produce of Ireland.
