In consequence of the announcements distributed throughout the metropolis during 12th past few weeks, to the effect that Monday, Chartist of June, would be the day of the greata, mons tr a tion, extraordinary precautions for Ch the ist pus de - the public his morning pea ce pose of ensuring the preservati.otnof h have been taken by the authoriies , a nd e a th v o a s s e t bodythe military u p othen forces ea p h i a t s a ' e l b e c e n a nco ncentrated aem i n n te? o r r p a r t e h c e a r ii , t i e o a n n s a on ny o t n h e e dpeanryt that of f the in t a G k o i n v Government n thesem precau tions the Government are only striving to fulfil a por tion of those supreme responsibilities devolving upon them as the guardians of the tranquillity, the lives, and the properties of the population ? It were an insult to the c ommon sense of the country to speak other wise. Here is a gigantic city, inhabited by nearly two millions of human beings, engaged for the most part in one or other of the almost innumerable opera tions of commerce— traders, artizans, workers, those who toil with their hands and those who labour with their head, those who are dependent for their liveli hoods either upon the clearness of their brain, or upon the strength of their thews. And in this great city—the radiating point of all the mercantile under takings of England—business has been interrupted during the last twelve or fourteen weeks, speculation has been paralysed, enterprize has been disheartened —by whom ? Why, by a section of that very class whose interest it is to restore confidence and to mantain tranquillity. Men calling themselves Chartists have created all this unwholesome excite• ment, by agitating for the achievement of reforms by physical, and consequently by unconstitutional, agencies. A few of these agitators we believe to be sincere men—men who conscientiously advocate the system embodied in the Charter, because they con scientiously believe that system to be of a most humanizing and ameliorative character. But the mass of these persons who have been brawling about the Utopia of Chartism, either in the classic areas of Bishop Bonner'e-fields or of the Common at Ken nington, are, we believe, actuated less by an enthusiasm fur the noble aspirations of democracy than by a love of anarchy, and an after. thought of spoliation. Hence there has been a peculiar wisdom in fortifying the Bank of England, and in distributing strong bodies of the soldiery not only in the vestibules of that building, but also in such Government edi fices as the Custom House and the Mint. Every circumstance both before and atter the memorable 10th of April has justified these suspicions on the part of the authorities, and not only on the part of the authorities, but on the part of the general public likewise. The riotous nature of the de monstrations, and the seditious and even sanguinary language of the orators ( ! ! !), have constituted of themselves a sufficient reason for the alarm so long experienced throughout the metropolis. And what, we ask, have been the immediate effects of this alarm i The whole arrangements of trade have been thrown into confusion, the City has presented the spectacle of a complete mercantile stagnation ; shops have been closed through fear, and workmen deprived of em ployment through disaffection. Such have been the deplorable consequences drawn down upon their own heads by these insensate and mendacious brawlers. Such has been the increase of misery and privation to themselves, caused by the men who are credulous enough to believe that pockets can be filled by peti tioning, and larders replenished by idle declamation. With the wishes expressed by the few conscien tious Chartists in England we sympathise to the very uttermost. Do we not ? Is there any one principle maintained in the Charter which we do not advocate, which we have not advocated a hundred times over ourselves? Are we not agreed as to the extension of the elective franchise ? Do we not coincide about the ballot ? Are we diametrically opposed to each other as to the shortening of the duration of Parliament ? Have we no community of feelings with regard to the legislative advancement of education, the systematic development of a scheme of sanitary improvement, the reduction of our na tional expenditure, the equalisation of the present most iniquitous system of taxation, the radical altera• tion of the existing notions about the currency, and a thousand other of those subordinate questions in which the happiness, the health, and the prosperity of our labouring classes are either directly or indirectly implicated? Cordially, however, fully, and entirely as we sympathise with the true and conscientious Chartists—the few men who are sanguine enough to dream of the realisation of the six points —we do not regard, we have never regarded—we can never, under any circumstances, regard with other than feelings of the most supreme indignation, those mobs of disaffected men who prowl about the streets of our cities under the pretence of a political grievance, and inspired solely with a love of bluster and idleness, brawl, notoriety, and agitation. Against such men as these the Government ought to act vigorously as they are acting, though the man FUS!ELL was rather fitted for the horsepond or the stocks than for the dock or Newgate. We would re commend, for instance, such remedies as the calling out of the Fire Brigade against the Female Bethnal green Chartist Association, for the purpose of throw ing a sufficient allowance of cold water upon their proceedings, in the event of their disturbing the pro priety of the city of London by any illegal proces sion. Again, the remedy adopted against these move ments of in su b or di na ti on b y t h e N at i ona l G uar d o f Paris is not altogether unworthy of imitation—we would command our police and the special constables to follow the example of that portion of the National only theoth of the Porte other eveni bl blockaded Saint ckade Denis, everyd outletd Nlhinhthie m e ne eans kept a mo b of Socialists or Bar. and b G :ItaSr by that' from their beds fro m twilight until daybreak. A few such good-tempered but stringent modes of opposition would speedily clear our streets fls that marau- marau ders, and restore to this commercial metropolis tranquillity which is absolutely essential for the fulfil ment of its great mercantile destinies. The programme of " The Irish Lea gue, " the new Association, in which it is hoped that all sections of repealers may be cordially united, has at length made its appearance. We confess, h owever, that we are scarcely relieved from the doubts we en • tertained as to the real character of the arrangements, or as to the permanency of the new society. We find that similar doubts have already occurred to the Hon. Member for Limerick, the quondam chief of the Old Ireland party ; and it is by no means improbable that the contemplated coalition may be postponed sine die, that at the meeting of the Repeal Association this day it may be announced that the negotiation has com pletely failed, and that the moral force repealers will still continue under their old banners, and their former leaders. Should the rent flow in libe rally to the exhausted coffers of the association, and the friends of the " ancien regime," alarmed at its proposed dissolution, shake off the apathy into which they had fallen and renew their rows of allegiance, this probability will become an absolute certainty. There can be no feelings of cordiality or confidence between the opposing parties. Mr. O'CONNELL can scarcely forget the vigour and energy with which his proceedings and those of his immediate followers have been denounced by the physical-force Repealer& Nor can he very consi , tently abandon the principles so long, so patiently, and so successfully acted on by his lamented father, the deceased Liberator. It is equally difficult to conceive that the Confederates will abandon that vehemence of language and firm resolu tion to attain their objects by any means which led to their secession from Conciliation Hall. There was no abatement in the pretensions or softening of the tone adopted at the meeting on Tuesday last. Indeed Mr. GAVAN Durry distinctly stated that " the principles of the new association were to be the principles of the Irish Confederation ;" and Mr. MBAGBER plainly and unequivocally intimated that an appeal to physical force will be made within this very year. He said, " Call me coward, call me renegade. I accept these titles as the penalties which a fidelity to my convictions has imposed upon me. It will be for a short time only. At the end I see the path which I have been ordained to walk. No object intercepts my view; and on the grave that closes upon that path I can read no coward's epitaph." And again : "The question as to what shall be the fate of this island must be this year determined ; the end is at hand, so get arms and pre pare."NErlla 4 shouldn c thecbo e r d ip a ,re n er c ci e ee cd w t n i y t gh legalet v h e e n and n r o g Thisn J.new o s w sc ,bc a o r od c ; e I y In c th o i a n s t e s tio‘t‘futl:hilernal, and th a t a ll v i o l ence of express i on, . and suggestion of counsel contrary to law, would be excluded." The details for carrying the proposed amalgama tion into effect ar a qu i te i na d equa t e t o ma i nta i n t h at efficient control over the language to be adopted at the meetings which would naturally be required by the Old Irelenders, unless they were prepared to waive all their former doctrines, and to participate in any course which the majority of the Council might sanction. The only rule on the subject is that "no matter can be introduced at these meetings of the League which shall not have been previously ap proved and sanctioned by a majority of the members of the Council." This can only mean the subject matter of the discussion, and not the language in which it may be urged. It could scarcely be ex pected that the drafts of the several speeches should be submitted to the censorship of the committee, or that the warlike confederates should submit to the operations of a new Gagging Act. All that can be selected, therefore, is the subject of debate, and each orator will be at liberty to deal with it according to his own fancy, and if he trenches upon forbidden ground there is no legiti mate means by which he can be arrested in his pro gress. Nor is it very probable that the conflicting parties would readily agree as to what came within the legitimate sphere of discussion. Under these circumstances it is by no means sur prising that the proposed coalition should not be so immediately practicable as the repeal press have de clared it to be, or that Mr. Joust O'CONNELL should caution the friends of the Repeal Association through- out the country to understand that as yet nothing has been definitively settled. SPAIN. Madrid papers of the 6th have arrived. The Cabinet crisis continues. General NARVAEZ insists on the appointment of Senor ORLANDO as Minister of Finance, but the Duke of SOTOMAYOR and Baiso Muauxo object, and declare they will re sign should he be appointed. The probability is that the Duke of SOTOMAYOR finds that he has gone too far in the affair of Sir H. BULwER, and seizes the first excuse to leave office and relieve himself from the necessity of offering those apologies to the Eng lish Government and to Sir H. BULWER personally which the Foreign Minister of Spain will undoubt edly have to do before relations between the two countries can be re-established.

Intelligence has been received from Lisbon to the 6th ult. The city was quiet, and SALDANEIA had declared in opposition to the Exaltados, that he thinks the ordinary laws sufficient to preserve tranquillity, and he shall neither suspend the guarantees, nor demand laws against the press. He intends to propose a new electoral law, founded on the principle of direct election, and dividing the country into smaller electoral districts. Should this law pass, the Cortes will be immediately dissolved. The project of law about the Bank of Lisbon notes was still under discussion. The main points of it are that all payments to and by the state, except to sol diers, should be three-fourths in metal and one-fourth in notes at their nominal value. Private persons were allowed to contract for metal payments. The national contracts from the 23d of July, 1834, to the 23d of May, 1846, were to be satisfied all in metal ; but by the 13th article of the project the Bank of Portugal is authorised to pay its debts contracted during the same pericd in notes at their nominal value. Those, then, who, at the invitation of the bank, capitalised their notes, are tricked. The Count DE THOMAR (Costa Cabral) has joined the moderate or Saldanha party. His brother, Joss DE SILVA CABRAL, is the head of the Exaltado Car lista party. This is an old Cabralista trick. Even as far back as 1828 COSTA CABRAL was a Pedroite, and Joss DE SILVA CABRAL a Miguelite. There is not a party in Portugal that has the remotest chance of power but it has a Cabral amongst its members. The Spanish soldiers who revolted at Seville are confined on board the Donna Maria frigate. The officers have been allowed to land in Lisbon. EGYPT. BAKY BET and the BACH AGA of Cairo have been exiled to Upper Egypt for instigating the bastina doing of a Greek bacal—an afliiir which created great noise some time ago. A levy of 40,000 peasants has been ordered for continuing the works of the barrage of the Nile. The army is being organized, and Alex andria strongly fortified. TURKEY. From Constantinople we learn that the PorE's Minister has left Constantinople. The SULTAN'S son, the Imperial Prince Mahomet A'AntE, died on the 17th, aged only a few months. A new code of commerce, based principally on the French one, has been established in Turkey. An Ambassador Ex traordinary from Persia was received by the SULTAN on the 20th ult. GREECE. By the Levant mail, we have received Athens jour nals to the 29th ult., and Constantinople to the 26th ult. The Greek Government has made known that the insurgents dislodged from Hypates, and inces santly pursued, have been obliged to cross the frontiers, after losing a great many in killed, wounded, and prisoners. At Palechori, also, the rebels have been defeated. General AuricK, Ambassador of the French Republic at Constantinople, arrived at Athens on the 25th, and left on the next day for his destination. According to the C'ourrier Athi;nes, he had an inter view with the KING unknown, by his MAJESTY'S desire, to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. WINDSOR CASTLE AND TOWN APPROACHES IM POVEMENT BILL.—In a Parliamentary raper, printed on Saturday, an estimate is given of the charges to be in curred under the Bill for improving the approaches to the Castle and town of Windsor, and a statement show ing whence the funds are to be raised. It appears that the estimate for building a bridge over the Thames, to form part of the communication from the South-Western Railway station to Windsor, &c., is 83,4201, and that the Windsor, Staines, and South-Western Railway Com pany have agreed to pay 60,0001., and the Great Western Railway Company the sum of 23,7001., making 2801. above the estimate for improvements. An acceleration of the mail trains between London, Rugby, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, ,id Derby, York, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, will take place from and after Sunday, the 18th June.

The National thus acknowledges its defeat in Paris : " Out of the eleven candidates presented by the Na tional to the suffrages of the electors of the Seine, one only, and it must be admitted that the just considera tion which he enjoys, the universal esteem whieh sur rounds him, had made him the candidate of all par ties—one only. we say, has issued from the electoral urn. Our clefeat is compl e t e , we a d m i t; b u t, if we pass condemnation as to persons, we are less dis posed to consider ourselves as conquered as to prin ciples and ideas. It is sufficient to cast a regard on the list to comprehend in what embarrassment the victors are placed to appreciate their triumph. How disengage, in fact, the veritable opinion of Paris, from this incredible melange of names, doctrines, pas sions, all opposed to each other, and some noto riously hostile? How imagine th at t h e P ar i s i an e l ectors are at the same time socialists, like MM. Prondhon and P. Leroux; conservative monarchists, like M. Thiers; revolutionists, like MM. Caussididre and Lagrange; re publicans, like M. Goudehaux ; imperialists, like M. Louis Bonaparte; and peer of France, like M. Victor Hugo? This strange list shows the confusion of men's mind, be trays the disarray of intelligences, but is only an acci dent of the situation; it is elsewhere that the veritable sense of the country must be sought. It w ill b e f oun d, not in a partial election, but in the ensemble of the selec tions made by the whole nation. The Assembly which has issued from the universal suffrage is there to reply to us, and to say if in fact we h ave b een m i sta k en i n our line of policy. It is to the republican majority of the As sembly that we have given o ur concurrence. E xpress i ng as it does the national will, universally consulted, it contains in our eyes the right of sovereignty t emporar ily dele gated by the people. It is in virtue of this right that it has appointed an Executive C omm i ttee . Th e mem b ers of that Committee, responsible and revocable on the in stant, only exist by the majority. The day on which they should cease to fulfil the conditions imposed on them, the day when their intelligence or their force should not be equal to their duties, they must fall. At present, like us, the republican majority which elected them, though placing the utmost confidence in their de votedness, is but ill satisfied with their conduct, and de mands more vigour of action, a more decided iniative. In confiding to them the care of governing, the ma jority by no means intended to abdicate the right of demanding from them an account of the manner in which they exercised the chief power, no more than we have renounced, strongly in favour as we may be to the persons, our right to criticise their, conduct. In fine, our situation is exceedingly simple, exceedingly clear, and the result of partial elections can not modify it. Sincerely and absolutely devoted to the cause of the republic, we are, and we have always been, independent o f men, whoever they might be. Persons are nothing—the principle alone touches us. That prin ciple commands us to consider as the expressiou of the Sovereign will what the republican majority of the As sembly decides. Thus, with it, and like it, we will sup port the Executive Committee as long as it will be faith ful to its mission, regarding it as our duty to warn it or to blame it, or, if necessary, to combat it, if it be not more in harmony with the authority from which it emanates? , The France Nouvelle, a new journal, of which M. ALEXANDRE DUMAS is the principal editor, has the following : " Among the new corners, M. Thiers and M. Victor Hugo seem to us called on to play a double part in the Chamber. M. Thiers is the sword which cuts the knots of 'questions. M. Hugo is the sword which will cut the Montagne in two. M. Thiers and Victor Hi go are two very different men. M. Thiers is the man of the moment, the minute, the second; M. Hugo of the future, and the future in such tines as these is to-morrow. M. Thiers then is the man of to-day—M. Hugo the man of to morrow. M. Thiers is the figure, the calculation, the fact, logic, clearness, the compass. the square, the rule—he is the man who weighs a Republic, and tells you exactly, It is worth so much.' M. Thiers is the man of business of a nation. He is attractive, lively, active, restless, talkative ; long in speeches, and yet brief in words—a great deal of physiog nomy, rapid gestures, a shrill voice ; little, but be come a good deal bigger since M. Louis Blanc; giving to all that he touches a sort of grace peculiar to him ; well informed, speaking well, thinking exactly,—play ing with words and struggling against ideas—insinuat ing himself everywhere. thanks to the smallness of his size; full of discernment—capable in a word of becoming an admirable tool in the hands of Providence. M. Thiers will save us from bankruptcy. M. Hugo is thought. He is exactitnde in the idea, as M. Thiers is exactitude in the fact. He is the man who goes to the bottom of the cause, and who divines the result. M. Hugo is the physician of a country. He every day feels the pulse of the crowd--he sees all the crises of the social malady— and he hears the heart of France beat. He knows what words must calm; he says at times a mot w hich turns out to be the mot of the situation; one of the first he understood the danger in seeing the nation bleeding, and he swore to stop the haemorrhage. M. Hugo will save us from the guillotine. We have seen with plea sure these two men arrive at the Assembly—one of whom will prevent ruin, the other death." The election of Prince Louis NAPOLEON is, how ever, the one which has excited the greatest astonish ment and alarm. In the department of the Charente Inferieure the peasants went to the poll with cards in their hats with the words " Vive Napoleon !" " A bas la Ripublique !" This fact, as it appears to us, explains the whole proceeding. It is hatred to the Republic, not love to Prince Louis, that has secured for him his return. The reactionnaires wished to test their strength. They dared not propose the Prince DE JOIN VILLE as yet--the attempt would have defeated itself. Neither would they venture to pro pose the Count DB CHAMBORD, who, of all the pre tenders, is the only one who has any pretence for his pretensions. It was necessary, therefore, to find a candidate who had aforetime come forward as a Pretender, but whose claim to the throne was not one whit snore valid than the claim of en Orleanist Prince, and accordingly Prince Louis NAPOLEON was fixed upon, and started without his knowledge, and against the wishes of th e mem b ers o f hi s f am il y at present residing in. Paris, who have sent the follow ing notice to the newspapers in respect to the rumours afloat with respect to their relation It is not true that he is at Paris.

We no longer know what is lawful, what is unlawful. We see in scribed up,m the walls on every side those three words —6Liberte, Egaliti, Fraternite,' but there is one word which seems to have lost all its meaning, all its value, and that is 'Legslite.' There are no longer any laws in force. Art. 6 of the law of the 10th of April, 1832, inter dicts fcr ever the ascendants and descendants of Napoleon f ro m entering the French territory. They dare not repeal this, nor dare they enforce it. What is the con sequence? Three nephews of Napoleon are sitting al ready in the National Assembly, and a fourth, Prince Louis Napoleon, is elected at Paris. Will Art. 6of the law of 10th April, 1832, be maintained against him, in spite of the 84,000 votes he has received? This is im possible. What, then, will be done if it should happen that any department should elect the Count de Cham a rchy the cannot A di last a is t much rati e a 2 1 ,0 . nger bord, and another d e p artment should nominate one of the Princes of the other branch ? In fact, such a state of The same arbitrary rule earcahny pervades and anarchy ........____ It is evident that Prince Louis has been put for wari by the Legitimists and the Orleanists as a pilot balloon, to see what chance there would be for the pretenders whom they respectively support. An analysis of the poll tends still further to support this view of the election. Of the army, where it might be imagined the great Bonapartist strength would lie, only 2,101 voted for Prince Louis NAPOLEON, whilst in the Banlieu of Paris, where reside the old nobility partisans of the Count DE CHAMBORD and the nou veaux riches partisans of the Orleans Monarchy, Prince Louis NAPOLEON polled 25,000 votes. The following incident in relation to this return occurred during the sitting of the National Assembly on Saturday : "M. Fleeckeren dema nded an explanation from the Government relative to a circumstance which appeared to him of great gravity. t had, he said, been stated in private letters that on a re g iment of the line enterin g Troyes it had been receiv ed b y the National Guard o f that place. When the t wo re g iments met, the National the lileosnou of honourable , Vive Lo u i s N a - Deputy w as Gina& cried 'Vive la lii,uiblique,' to which the regi mpoelneotno.f th(eThliisneremreaprlkierolf bbyer received with loud marks of astonishment and incre. dulity.) He would, therefore, demand whether the Minister of War had recei ved an y information o n the subject? " The Minister of War replie d, that the Go vernment had receiv e d no information of the kind , and he did not hesitate t o d ec l are that it was a calumny. It was, he said, far from hi s i nten ti o n to bring an accusation against any man, unless on very strong grounds; and , therefore, he had no r i g h t to cons id e r as guilty the man whose name had been br oug ht so prominently before the public ; but he would d ec l are that he should hold up to public execration any man who should dare to lay a sacrilegious hand on th e l i b er ty of the public. — (This declaratio n was received w ith a triple salvo of applause, and all the Aa3nibly rose iu a body and shouted 'Vive la It •ep u b_ lique.) Honour and glory, continued the Hon. Mi n i s . ter, be to the citizen, who, faithful to his duties, devotes his blood, his fortune, his talents, and his understanding to the service and happiness of his country, but shame and misery be to him who would dare to speculate on the difficulties of the time and on the sufferings of the qouotry, and to make use of a glorious name for the benefit of his own personal ambition.—(Renewed ap plause and cries of Vive la li6dublique.') " Cries arose on all sides of We will have no re action," We reject pretenders of any regime,' We will neither live Royalty, nor Imperial despotism, nor military dictatorship ;' whilst others exclaimed that the affair was an imagined imposition, in order to in juro Louis Napoleon. The sitting was closed amidst great agitation." _ It had been expected that Prince Louis NAPOLEON would have taken his seat on Saturday, but he did not make his appearance. M. TRIERS took his seat on Saturday. The Executive Commission have given notice that on Monday they shall make a demand of 100,000 francs a month from the Assembly to meet their cur rent expenses, and that they shall consider the refusal of their demand as tantamount to a vote of want of confidence. They have been urged to take this step in consequence of the proceedings at a meeting of 400 deputies, held on Friday, where a feeling inimical to the Executive Committee, as at present constituted, was manifested. The National, which has hitherto been a thick and thin supporter of the Executive, has a very significant article in its number of Satur day : IF," it says, " the commission is insufficient—if for the future, and the future means to-morrow—its strength continues to give way, a change will become necessary, nay, inevitable. We repeat, that it is yet in the power of the Executive to postpone its fall. But for that pur pose it must draw close and unite ; it must no longer mask by contradictory measures a deplorable irresolu tion ; it must, in a word, march without hesitation in the way traced out for it by the republican majority." M. LAMARTINE is rapidly declining in popularity in consequence of his too open indulgence in those feelings of hatred and contempt for the middle classes which he, in common with all of the aristocratic class, entertain for men who gain their living by their own industry, and which feeling induces him to join with communists, et hoc genus (mine, to plunder the hated industrious middle classes. This accounts for the ultra-republicanism of all the oi-devant aristocrats and legitimists. The drones of the hive, whether high-born or low-born, always seek to plunder the working bees. The Moniteur gives the names of the Commission appointed to report on the project for allowing 100,000 f. a month to the Executive Commission. As this is to be a Cabinet question, it is worthy of re mark that the majority is in favour of Government. M. MAR/UST is to draw up the project of a con stitution. A crowd assembled on Saturday evening, at the Porte St. Denis, but on the approach of the Garde Mobile, shortly after eleven o'clock, they dispersed, but shortly afterwards re-assembled. The rolling of the drum soon announced that a summons was being made to the people to disperse, and in a few minutes afterwards all the streets leading out on the open space opposite the Porte St. Denis and the Boule vards, were occupied by the troops; orders were given to let no one pass, and thus agitators and curious spectators found themselves completely hemmed in. No one was allowed to pass until day light, and thus agitators and spectators were kept out all night in the streets. This is an excellent plan, and if generally adopted would effectually keep away all idle spectators whe go out of mere curiosity, and who always constitute more than three-fourths of tilt se assemblages. The following election returns have been made from the departments:— Charente Inferieure—M. Louis Bonaparte. Basses Pyrenees—M. Barthe. Mayenne—M. Thiers. Gers—M. de Panat. Orne—M. Thiers. . The following letter, dated Wednesday, has been sent to General CLEMENT THOMAS by M. D'ALTON SHEE " Citizen General,—Under a Republic with universal suffrage, the functions of colonel in the National Guard are above all things political. Two months ago, on ac count of my democratic opinion, I was nominated in the 14th arrondissement by nearly 7,000 electors. To-day the same arrondissement, called upon to elect eleven representatives, has given to M. Tillers, who loves not the Republic and its adherents, the same number of votes. This is in my eyes a sufficient warning. De voted to the maintenance of order, no danger would stop me from fulfilling the duties which my rank imposes on me ; but to do this I must be in a community of princi ples with the men I command. It seems to me to be absurd for me to place my devotedness at the service of men of the past. I have the honour, in consequence, to present to you my resignation. Accept, General, the expression of my regret, and the assurances of my con • sideration." In commenting on this letter the Constitutionnel observes, that it is not so long since M. D'ALTON SHEE was a much more devoted " man of the past " than ever M. Tuizas had been. It will be recollected that, until within the last two years, M. D'ALTON SHEE was a warm supporter of M. GuizoT. The Government, it is said, intend to propose to the Assembly to annul the election of Prince Louis NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, on the ground that being a naturalized Swiss he is a foreigner, and therefore in capable of sitting in the Assembly.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA, The following bulletin from Marshal RADETSKY gives the Austrian version of the late battle : SIXTH BULLETIN. " Field-Marshal Radetski communicates the follow ing from his head-quarters at Rivalta, under date the ht June:—The day before yesterday I assaulted Goito with the first division of the army, but as this tete de pact was very strongly defended by entrenchments armed with 16-pounders, and the enemy offered a stout resistance, the army being besides not sufficiently concentrated to continue the attack with effect, I thought it better to discontinue the action and spare the brave troops and distinguished officers, who would have been sacrificed with little probability of an advantageous result. The division of Prince Felix Schwartzenberg, who received a shot in the right arm, was for a short time in possession of the suburb of Goito, but on account of the superiority of tho enemy's artillery, could not hold it. We have to lament the loss in this action of the brave Colonel Doll and Lieutenant-Colonel Freysauff, who were both se verely wounded by one and the same cannon-bill. The enemy had upwards of 15,000 men within his entrench ment, and even made offensive attacks from his right wing; but the first.division maintained itself against him in the position they had taken up, with the most deter mined valour. "On yesterday I had the whole army united at Goito, and I should have commenced offensive operations but for the rain, which fell in such torrents in the afternoon and last night, that all the communications near the Po sad Mincio aro in such a state that the artillery cannot be brought up, and I must wait to-day, and perhaps to morrow, before I continue operations. The enemy is in a similar impossibility of moving. "In this position I and my army await with imps. tience the moment that will allow us to renew offensive movements. According to accounts just arrived from Paiva, the brave garrison of Peschiera was obliged to capitulate on the 30th ult. Further details will follow. (Signed) "ARCHDUKE JOHN." VIENNA, JUNE 6.—The Diet has been summoned to meet in Vienna ! The Burgher Committee have issued numerous proclamations and addresses to the workmen and the citizens and various classes of the inhabitants. They commend the workmen for the moderation which they have manifested, and state that numerous grievances which have been laid be fore them have been investigated, and that all per sons who are unable to obtain employment, either in agriculture, manufactures, or private occupations, shall be furnished with the same on the public works. They must, however, bring certificates from their former employers, stating that they are unable to give them work any longer. The Committee also state that they have minutely investigated the charges brought against Count HOYOS, Commander-in-Chief of the whole National Guard, relative to the transactions of the 26th May, and the result of these investigations is that no charge whatever can be brought against Count HOYOB for having now, or at any former time, violated his duty or overstepped the laws ; and the less so since, in con sequence of his mission to Inspruck, on the 17th of last month, and the furlough then obtained, he no longer had the chief command of the National Guard. Signed, Vienna, May 30, 1848, by the Committee of the Vienna Burgher and National Guards and Students for the maintenance of peace and order, and for securing the rights of the people.—Wiener Zeitung, June 6. • It is said that the EMPEROR has sent to Vienna a proclamation confirming the concessions of the 15th of May, and offering to return to Vienna on the 26ch June to open the Assembly in person, if he can have his perso,)al security and the maintenance of peace and order guaranteed to him. Another rumour current in Vienna was that the EMPEROR had expressed a desire to abdicate, in which case the Archduke CHARLES would succeed him, who it was said had determined also to renounce his rights in favour of his son FRANCIS JOSEPH. PRUSSIA. The Prince of PRusstA has arrived at Potsdatn. PoseN, JUNE 6.—lt is scarcely possible to con ceive the state of fanaticism and violence which still prevails here. Numerous acts of the most barbarous and inhuman description are continually being per petrated. The authorities endeavoured to repress them by every means in their power, but the deep rooted hatred which subsists between the Poles and the Germans bursts out on every occasion. A few nights ago a journeymen tailor coming home from a journey, being a German, was refused admittance into the public. house. At length he succeed in find ing a lodging. Unhappily a fire broke out in the middle of the night. The Poles instantly seized the unfortunate man, fanned the fire, and threw this un • offending stranger into the midst of it. Scenes like these will never suffer the national hatred to expire. It is asserted that Russian agents are very active in widening the breach between the Ger mans and the Poles. The city of Posen itself was in a very perplexed state. By the division of the Polish province it has become, instead of a provisional capital, a frontier fortress. If the German part of the coun try be added to the neighbouring provinces its com plete ruin will be effected. It appears that there is a division of opinion, whether Posen can be regarded as German or not. The Communal authorities have in consequence drawn up a petition from which the following data are ex tracted : 1. From the last official census, it appears that the city of Posen contains about 42,000 inhabitants, ex clusive of the military, of these 24,000 are Germans and 18,000 Poles. 2. Posen contains 1,191 real estates, of these 783 of the value of 6,934,000 dollars, are in the hands of the Germans, and chiefly in the provinces, the re mainder, of the value of 685,000 dollars, are in the hands of the Poles. 3. The civil right, according to the revised state ordinance of the 17th of March, 1831, is vested in 1,030 persons, of these 720 are Germans, and 330 are Poles. 4. The number of burghers eligible as representa tives is 430, of whom 315 are Germans, and 115 are Poles. 5. Seventy-six different kinds of trades are carried on in Posen, of which 32 are not followed by Poles, There are in Posen 2,133 mechanics, of whom 1,442 are Germans, and 691 are Poles.—Cologne Gazette, June 10. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE. The German National Assembly met on the Bth of June. The PRESIDENT called for the heads of committees to bring forward their reports. Hecksher (of Hamburgh) was the first. Many members (?) from North Schleswig, he said, were there. The anxiety to hear the matter he knew to be im mense. Motion on motion was handed in to the Presi dent, but perhaps those regarding Schleswig Holstein created the greatest interest of any. He begged, there fore, to be allowed to enter upon an historical review of the relations of Denmark and Schleswig. This he did at considerable length, but his speech seemed to make but little impression. In the year 1721, he said, in which that transfer of territorial possession was made, which seemed to give Denmark its present claim, Schles wig was not incorporated with Denmark. It merely devolved to the reigning dynasty, but never became a rightful part of the Danish domain. The grant or treaty, however—such as it was—was ratified both by England and France. In regard to the present truce, he declared it to be the opinion of the Committee that Jut land embraced it gladly from political, and Schleswig trom strategic reasons. He then adverted to certain re solutions drawn up by the Committee fer considering the " rights of nations and international relations, as also for deliberating on questions of internal policy." They were as follows The German National Assembly declares that the Schleswig affair, being the concern of the German nation at large, comes within the sphere of its operations ; and demands that when peace is con• eluded with the Crown of Denmark, the rights of the Dukedoms, Schleswig and Holstein, and the honour of Germany, he preserved entire. Moreover, the Ger many National Assembly expresses a confident expecta tion that iu the supposition that the retreat of the troops of the German Confederation towards the south of Schleswig, is to be attributed to strategic reasons, speedy and effectual measures be taken, both for the neces sary recruitment of the confederate army in Schleswig. Holstein, and for the security of North Schleswig, which, by the aforesaid retreat, may have been lett exposed to hostile incursions." The first of these resolutions, he insisted upon, should be carried out with all the power the Assembly possessed. The second was of less moment, and indeed partly rendered unnecessary now by the resolutions of the Diet of June 5, but still it might stand. He would not, however, put beyond a doubt the right of the Confederation to associate Holstein to itself. A very long and warm debate followed this, relative to the suspected ill intentions of the democrats, in bringing their societies together at the cuming Witsuntide. No thing resulted from it of importance. Some members were for applying to the city of Frankfort for protection. Others deprecated such an application as unworthy of the Assembly, and too indicative of cowardice. One member even ventured to hint at the calling in, it necessary, the aid of extraneous troops. This produced a mummer. The question was referred to the order of the day. BAVARIA. CLOSING OF THE DIET. MUNICH, JUNE 5. —Prince LEOPOLD, as the repre sentative of the KING, closed the Diet with the tisual solemnities this day. The acts of the present session, which have passed almost unanimously through the two Chambers, and received the sanction of the KING, have met with very general approbation. Two amend ments only in the new electoral law did not receive the Royal sanction. The reasons which the Govern ment urged could not be gainsaid, and it is expected that in the next session the Chambers will employ the right of investiture accorded to them, and will pass resolutions relative to the active and passive electoral liberties of every Burgher, and that the National Parliament in Frankfort also will make resolutions on this point, which will be applicable to the whole of Germany. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. GREAT BATTLE IN DENMARK. The Cologne Gazette of the 10th inst. announces that a great battle was fought between the Danes and the Germans on the 6th inst., in which the latter were victorious. The battle took place between Gravenstein and Sonderburg, and the contest was most fierce. The Danes were driven back to Duppel and Sonderburg. The battle began at daybreak and lasted till nightfall. General WRANGEL commanded in person. The Danish forces are given at 16,000, and wero supported by a well kept up fire from their gun-boats. Two of these were sunk by the fire of the Prussian troops, and 120 Danes are reported to have found a watery grave. The loss of killed and wounded on both sides is reported to be very consi siderable. The Schleswig-Holstein Gazette of the Bth con tains the following military command:— "Head-quarters, Uderup, June 6, 1848. "To the officers and soldiers of the army I express hourly my warmest thanks and sincere acknowledg ments, not only for the valour and bravery with which they drove back the enemy into his entrench ments in the reconnoitre of wounded at the engage ment of Sandewitt, of yesterday, but for the en miurance and discipline with which they overcame the difficulties of a long march, and a terrain in which it was excessively difficult to get forward. "We shall bivouac on the conquered terrain to day, and tomorrow proceed to our cantonments, which have been advanced nearer the enemy. (Signed) " WRANGEL." According to the report of the surgeons the number of wounded is very great i 246 have been carried to Flensburg. General HAMLETT lost eight privates belonging to the Hanoverian corps, and had fifty three wounded, among the latter are ten officers.— Hamburgh Borsenhalle, June 10 INTENDED CHANGE OF THE UNIFORM FOR THE Auluir.—We have heard, from a s ource upon w hi c h we c an rely, that it is in contemplation to discontinue im mediately the blue frock coat worn by officers in un dress; and that a shell jacket is to be substituted. which, with the white sword belt, is to be used on all occasions on which the present frock coat is now worn.

LOMBARDY AND VENICE• Letters from Trieste, of the Ist inst., state that the combined Italian fleet was again cruizing off that port, and that the English fleet had been signalled from the lighthouse coming from Malta. The Allgemeine Zeitwg, of the 6th inst., states that Admiral PARKER has addressed a note to the Sav dinian Admiral ALBIN', declaring that the first 4 )(4 fired against Trieste would be followed by a declare' tion of war from England. An Italian deserter from Verona had given the following information :—When he left, the garrison consisted of about 23,000 men, consisting of five rer ments of Italians, three of Hungarians, and about 10,000 Crermans; six field batteries, and numerous pieces of heavy artillery on the forts.
