COMPANION TO THE PEERAGE. In 2 vols., royal 13y0., 2/. 10s. bound, BURKE'S HISTORY OF LANDED GENTRY; A GENEALOGICAL DICTIONARY OF THE UNTITLED ARISTOCRACY OF ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, AND IRELAND. Admiiably, however, as the King of PRUSSIA may be disposed to aggrandise the Germanic Confederation, by territorial encroachments, and by audacious lar cenies upon the states of every contiguous monarchy, we cannot persuade ourselves that he is so entirely blinded by egotism, and so recklessly excited by ambition, as to associate his name with a project so extravagantly opposed to the laws of nations and to the rights of nationality. To prove the criminality of the proceedings of the Duke of AUGUSTENEURG and his rebellious -con federates, it is not necessary to dip very profoundly into the historical researches of Professor DAHLMANN. Many of the facts recounted by that distinguished and erudite historian of the southern provinces of Jutland were already notorious throughout Europe, when he himself was lyii.g in his cradle—before, indeed, the possibility of his existence had been conjectured by his ancestors. From tht se facts alone, sufficient e%idence might be obtained to show the intimate and count xion subsisting be tween :Schleswig and northern Jutland—to demon strate, in short, the actual identity, as it were, of those divisions of the peninsula. Even as far back as the rise of the Carlovingian race, his. tory declares that the river E . ) der was the southern boundary of the Danish sovereignty. Eydera Germani terminus imperii was the fragment of a distich among topographers many centuries before COLUMBUS earned his bread by drawing maps in a garret at Lisbon. Until, therefore, that frontier- line of Germany can be passed without a violation of the rights of sove reignty, it is necessary to show that the channel of the Eyder has shifted like that of the waters of Babylon, when BELSHAZZAR drank to the might and the glory of the Gentiles. Geography, however, still raises a stubborn obstacle against such sophis tries of rebellion—there the Eyder rolls on in its eternal current, from its junction with the canal of the Baltic to its diffusion among the billows of the German Ocean—there the fragment of the distich resounds from the distance of antiquity— Eydera Germani terminus imperii ! A summary of the occurrences which have illustrated the records of Jutland since the establishment of the empire of CHARLEMAGNE will demonstrate still more forcibly the futility of any such sophistical reasoning as that adventured upon by the Duke of AUGUSTENEURG. Somewhere about 1450, Denmark, Schleswig, and Holstein, were declared to be one kingdom under the sway of the Oldenburg dynasty. Treachery among the minor branches of that family succeeded for a moment in 1658, when, by the treaties of Copenhagen and Roeskilde, Schleswig and Holstein thewereni begfoirnmendg into an i n d e p en d ent sovere i gnty. I n of the eighteenth century Schleswig was again incorporated with Denmark, and, in 1720, according to the stipulations of Stockholm and Fre densborg, the Danish dominions were consolidated by the agreement of the contracting powers. HO seditious harangues and patriotic revolt in Ireland. The rights of the people can have no more appropriate advocates, and the liberties of the people can have no more constitutional defenders, than the popular repre sentatives in the House of Commons. From the re cent demonstration on the part of those representa tives, we are inclined to hope and believe that they feel the responsibility of their honourable and onerous position, and are prepared to fulfil its duties in a manner worthy of themselves and of their consti tuents, in a manner demanded of them by the expecta tions of the country and the exigency of the times. For their success in such endeavours they have our most hearty and unfeigned good wishes. We said, some days since, in speaking of the manner in which the foreign affairs of this country had been mismanaged by the Earl of ABERDEEN, that it appeared to have been the height ot the NJble Earl's ambition to be considered head clerk to M. CuizoT. We were aware that throughout the whole ot his administration the President of the Society of Antiquaries had invariably and systt matically treated the interests of the British people as actively subordi nate to those of the King of the FRENCH. We were aware that he had neglected to vindicate the honour of England in Otaheite, that he had neglected to support the interests of England in Spain and in Morocco, and that he had actively interfered to ruin the British commerce in the Rio de la Plata, in order to secure the ascendancy of M. Guizor and Louis PrnLlrrE in France, by enabling them to boast that they had bullied and bamboozled England in every quarter of the world. Of all these facts we say we were aware, for they were unfortunately patent to the observation of all mankind; but we never suspected that any British Minister for Foreign Affairs could be capable of receiving instructions from a foreign power as to what course he should pursue as regarded his relations with independent states, or could so far forget what was due to the honour and dignity of his SOVEREIGN and his country as to habitually submit dispatches addressed by him to his own diplomatic agents abroad to the approval of a foreign power. Yet such it appears from the re cently published letter of Louis PHILIPPE to his daughter the Queen of the BELGIANS, was the custom of " cet excellent ABERDEEN"—a custom so constantly observed that Louis PHILIPPE seems to have considered Downing-street as a mere bureau of the Hotel des Capucines, and the British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs as mere Under-Secretary to M. GurzoT. So rooted was this idea of the subordination of British to French diplomacy that Louis PHILIPPE actually makes it a subject of grave accusation against Lord PALMERSTON, that he had on his accession to office ventured to send off a dispatch to the British Ambassador in Spain without having first submitted It to the French Charge d'Affaires at the Court of St. James's, the Count DE JARNAC, and through him to M. Guizor for approval and alteration before it should be for warded. " Procede," adds Louis PHILIPPE, with the most engaging simplicity, " qui n'etait guire con forme a noire entente cordiale et a ce a quo/ nous etions HABITUES par noe rapports de confiance reci proques avec Lord ABERDEEN." The reciprocity was of rather an Irish character—a one-sided reci procity, We will venture to say that the dispatches of Louts PHILIPPE or of M. GUIZOT to Count BR ESSON were never submitted to the supervision of Lord ABERDEEN before they were sent off to their destination; not that the interests of France would have at all suffered by such a proceeding, fur " the travelled Thane " was too faithful and too dull o have, for one moment, been capable of attempting to thjouer the intrigues of M. GUIZOT, however much the interests of " noire bonne petite Leine" may have required bim to do so. Sed non omnma possuraus omnes. If Lord ABERDEEN had not said ditto to M. GUIZOT, during the whole period he was in office, and thus saved himself the trouble of thinking about foreign attars, how could he have had time to meddle in the Free Church squabbles in Scotland ? True, we should not have had the Ashburton capitu lation, or the expulsion of ESPARTBRO, or the invasion of Morocco, or the seizure of Otaheite, or the Dutch conquest of Bali, or the "little war" in La Plata, had the Foreign Secretary attended to the business of his department. But then we should never have had the lucubrations of cet excellent ABERDEEN on the discipline of the Scottish Church, or his immortal mea sure for the regulation of patronage. Neverthe less, it is possible to " pay too dear for one's whistle." 'tein, on the other hand, it cannot be forgotten, was )i - iginally one of the grand feofs of the Germanic -rnpire, was re-united to Denmark on the destruc ion of that empire by NAPOLEON in 1806, and was at last once more, in 1815, declared to be a portion of the Germanic Confederation. From the few but indisputable facts here enumerated, it mill he perceived at once that the attempted incorpo ration of Schleswig with Germany is an effort of criminality. Any interference on the part of Prussia would be as infamous and unjustifiable as though one of the continental powers sent an army of sistance to a hand of rebels in one of the shires of %ales. Yet we have no fear whatever, either for the Lattottai4 oi the Dane:, or for the sovereignty of iiug FREDER:CK the resolution of the latter, and he patriotism of the former, assure us that there is no longer "something rotten in the state of Den . - nark," and that the lust of power will very speedily be expiated by the Duke of AOGUSTENBURG and his royal accomplices. SPAIN. Madrid papers of the Bth have been received. The capital continued tranquil. The Gaceta publishes a decree, ordering the sale of the property of the four military orders, the edifices, and rent-charges of every kind belonging to the State ; as also the property, rents, and revenues proceeding from fraternities and communities of all elapses. The Duke of MONTPENSIER has dismissed all his French attendants, declaring that henceforth he re gards himself as a Spaniard.

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The following appointments have been made by M DE LAMARTINE :—M. LEON FAVRE is appointed Consul• General at New York; M. BUQUET Consul- General at Amsterdam ; .M. CASTELNAN Consul- General at the Havannah ; M. PATORNI, Advocate, Chargé d'Affaires and Consul-General at Guatemala, (Central America); M. MAECESCHEAU Consul- General and Charge d'Affaires at Tunis. Great preparations are snaking for the fete of the 20th in the Champ de Mars. There will be 200,000 of the National Guards and of the Garde Mobile, present, and about 20,000 regular troops. The Garde Mobile have just received percussion muskets. Serious disturbances continue to occur in various of the provincial towns of France. On the 10th and 11tn Troyes had been the theatre of serious disorders. l'he National Guard was constantly on foot, and col lisions had taken place between them awl the work men, in which several persons were wounded on both sides. The Commissary of the Government was obliged to resign and depart for Paris. A letter from Troyes, of the 11th inst , says : " A dr. adtul aecidt nt has just occurred at Romdly, on the Menteresu to Troyes Railway. The workmen tore up about 340 metres ot the line, to prevent the National Guard of Nugent sur Seine from reaching Troyes; in consequence a locomotive went off the rails, and the engiue driver was killed sad the stoker severely wounded. We have just been informed that no other persons have been hurt, but we have not received details. " At Tonnerre, the two commissaries having twice dis solved the Municipal Council, its members were twice re-elected by a majority of 900 out - of 930 voters, and the commissaries, experiencing the most obstinate re sistance on the part of that body, were •ultimately obliged to retire. At Dolus, in the island of Oleron, the bourgeois having incurred the displeasure of the country people, and not considering themselves secure in the town, abandoned their houses, and withdrew into the fart with their families, leaving their homes at the mercy of the peasantry, who had threatened to plunder the town and set it on fire." against A t A u th x e e r r G e o v t e b r c n e m l e u n b had ts Commissary,gt u o p a demonstration an da collision was every moment expected. The Patriote des Alpes announces that tranquillity had been disturbed in the department of Isere, in consequence of the pretension of the inhabitants of Autrans to cut wood in a neighbouring forest. The Courrier de la Sarthe of the 12th states that fresh acts of insubordination have taken place in the 2d Regiment of Carbineers, now in garrison at Le Mans. Four privates who refused to obey the offi cers were arr es t e d , and taken to Tours to be tried by court-martial. The Journal des Debate states that serious disor ders have oecurred at Toulouse, but the Emancipation of Toulouse makes no mention of the circumstance. There were several seizures of arms made in Paris on Thursday, and various conspiracies against the Republic, have, it is said, been discovered. The Democratic Pacffzque complains bitterly that all the Socialists and Communist leaders have been ex cluded from the Government list of candidates for the National Assembly. The Central Club of Women of Lyons have agreed to an address to the Provisional Government, de manding the right of voting for women. It was rumoured that the Sardinian Ambassador, THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 15, _B4B. in reply to a demand made for explanations as to the l views of France in assembling so large a force on the Piedmontese frontier, had received the most satisfac• tory assurances. At the interview which took place on Wednesday between the Minister of Finance and the principal railway directors, the intentions of the Government with regard to railways was thus explained by M. GARNIER PAGES, who addressed the meeting at con siderable length : " He had been kept waiting," he observed, " expect ing M. Marie, the Minister of Public Works, but as his colleague had not arrived, he thought it better not to detain the gentlemen present any longer, but at once proceed to inform them of the m ot i ves w hi c h h a d cc mated him in calling them together. He bad no doubt that tht y were already aware that certain parties con nected with the railways had already been treating with m ai relative to the expropriation of the lines by the State.—(Cries of • No, no, no one was entitled to do that,' here burst forth.) At all events they must have heard at the B, , urse, and fr om p u bli c report, t h at to tak, the rsileays into its own hands was the intention ot the Government. During the late revolution the companies bad suffered exceedingly from the excesses ot certain brigands and ill-disposed citizens, and had it nut been for the exertions of some of the pupils of the Polytechnic School, and others who were struck with t h e enormity of the damage that might be thus effixted in a shirt space of time, they would, in all probability, have nearly disappeared altogether. If any other disturbance were to take place, he feared that their lines might be again placed in a similar disas traus position, not having the pow e r to p reven t any attack from the ill-intentioned. Owing to the present troubled state of things, the workmen had, in many cases, deserted the workshops of th e compan i es, an d t h e latter had been obliged, in other instances, to make con cessions to the men who still r ema i ne d at t h e i r d uty; t h e Government had, in fact, already considered it necessary to place one line under sequestratio n . A s to t h e li nes still in course of execution, it was notorious that some had not been able to repay to the State at the appointed time the sums which it had expended in their works; in others the companies would evidently not be able to finish their lines, from the extreme difficulty which they would experience in getting their calls paid up; whilst in the lines that were finished and at work the companies were not able to work them with certainty and safety. —(Expressions of denial from several directors.) Look ing, therefore, at the general position of railway pro perty, he would put this question to the gentlemen pre sent : Was it not their interest to treat with the Govern ment to take the lines into its own hands? Were they not, in fact, forced in self•detence to such a course? If sonic such course were not adopted, he could not see how the unfinished lines were to be executed, or the finished ones worked. To guarantee complete security to rail• way property, whether when tranquillity prevailed, or if' any new disturbance should arise, which, however, he did not apprehend, he thought the only means to be adopted was, that they should become the property of the State. In the present situation of the finances it was impossible for the Government to afford pecuniary aid to the com panies, and consequently there was nothing to be thought of but the re purchase (rachat) of the lines. He said that the question as to the resumption by the State of the railways had come now to such a point, that it was of immense importance not only to the Government, but to the shareholders of railways themselves, that it should be promptly , settled. For his own part, he thought that, in the pre sent circumstances of the republic, it became of urgent necessity that the Government should take possession of the railways, but he had no:wish that that should be done on any terms, excepting such as would be perfectly fair and perfectly equitable to all the part es concerned. There were two propositions which he should propose to the directors, and which he was willing to recommend to the Provisional Government, if approved of by the meeting. He would propose that the railways should be taken at the prices of the present day, and paid for by the Government in cash or .5 per cent. stock at the pre sent prices; and if that were not approved of, he should propose as an alternative, that they should be taken at the price bf the 15th February last, and paid for in 5 per cent. stock at the price of that day. It neither o these propositions was approved of by the directors of the railways, the Provisional Government was not in dined to force the measure upon the companies, but would leave the question to be settled by the National Assembly, and by the definitive Government of the Re public when it should have been constituted. In the course of ris speech M. Gamier Pages alluded to a plan which had been proposed, and by which the Government should take the lines which have already been opened at a price to be fixed upon the average of the receipts for the last six months ; but, in reference to that plan, he said that railways were a new experiment in Fran cs. and that he would not be• inclined to recommend it to the Provisional Government. Throughout his speech he begged the meeting to understand that he was speak ing his own individual feelings and sentiments, and by no means the sentiments or the determination of the Provisional Government. He concluded his address by expressing a wish that any of the gentlt men present who might be inclined to do so would state their opi nions." The speech of the Minister was very coldly re ceived, and the plan proposed was utterly scouted as being nothing more nor less than confiscation of the property of the shareholders. A serious diff?rence of opinion has arisen between M. LEDRU ROLLIN and his colleagues. A deputation came to Paris from Amiens, for the purpose of pre senting a petition for the removal of one of M. LEDRU ROLLIN'S commissaries, on account of some violent proceedings in which he has been indulging, in the exercise of the unlimited powers with which he and his colleagues are invested. MDE LAMARTINE and some other members of the Provisional Government are said to have admitted the misconduct of the com- missioner, and expressed an opinion that he ought to be recalled. M. LsDau-RomaN refused to sacrifice a functionary who, if to blame at all, was only guilty of over-zeal in the cause of the Republic. A violent scene ensued, and words passed between the mem• bers of the Provisional Government which indicate a wide breach in the councils of the nation The &forme, the organ of M. LEDRU Roma; thus alludes to the affair : " A statement of grave facts which have occurred in the Cabinet of the Minister of the Interior has been communicated to us. Those who know the citizen Le dru Rollin are aware that it is not of inertness that he must be accused, but of placing too much confidence in certain men well Placed for deceiving him. We shall have to explain ourselves with respect to these facts to morrow." At length the regular troops have been suffered to enter Paris. The commerce thus relates the return of the 61st Regiment : " The entry into Paris of the 61st regiment of the line was attended with an incident wor►h relating. Consider. able groups of people were assembled at the top of the Faubourg St. Antoine, and showed a disposition to pre vent the troops from coming through the Barriere. Upon this the column debouched by the Barriere du Trope, with muskets shouldered and bayonets fixed Cries were uttered, and some workmen seemed disposed to surround the Colonel. He, however, with perfect coolness, advanced, and said—' Citizens! Is the Provi sional Government overturned?' No, certainly not!' was the reply. 'Then suffer me and my men to pass, for here are Its orders.' The assemblage immediately bowed to the popular authority of the Government. opened a cledr way fur the troops, and suffered them to pass, amidst shouts of Vive Jr Colonel!'" Lyons has again been the scene of fresh dis turbances. BOURSE.—PARIS, FRIDAY, APRIL 14. THREE o'CLocx..—The weakness manifested the day before in the Tv:le continued 10-day. and the Three pe: Cents. and the Fives have both fallen ; on the other hand, Railway Shares have advanced. The French Three per Cents. opened at 39E. and closed at 38f., being a fall of lf. 75c.; the Five per Cents. opened at 571. 57c.; and after being done at 561. 25c., closed at 57f., or It. 25c. lower. Bank of France Shar e s are 13f. lot.er, the closing price being I,llof. Bons du Tresor are nut so well today, the rate being 45 per cent, less. Roths child's Neapolitan was done at 49f., being If. 50c lower. The Belgian Funds continue firm, the tran quillity in that country being considered favourable for investment ; the Five per Cents. (1840) closed at 60if, , or 31. better; Piedmont are 201. higher, at 720 f.; Obligations de la Ville 10f. higher, at 9401.; Quatre Canaux at sf. lower, at 6551. Railway Shares continue to be researched, the present prices being considered altogether too low. Still the persons who are of this opinion are afraid to purchase extensively, the deter. mination of the Government relative to railway property being so uncertain. Dieppe are 25f. higher than when (Left quoted two or three days past, the price now being 105 f ; Versailles (Right Bank) are 10f. higher, at 1101.; ditto 105 f 4551., 3201. , an d 175 f.; Vierzon and Bordeaux, 2f. 105 f., Bank), Orleans, Rouen and Havre, sf. each, at 50c., at 2251., and 3901.; Strasburg, If. 25c., at 3421. 50c.

DARING BURGLARY AND SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF THE DEPREDATORS.—This morning, about four o'clock, with bra a t n id as Police constable Ellstone 246 G, was proceeding on his beat, in Old-street-road, St. Luke ' s, he perceived that the front door of the Grapes Tavern, in the occu• potion of Mr. Jarmain, was ajar. The constable, on h some examining the pavement close to the door, discovered some drops of liquor thereon. These, after arousing the inmate s o f t h e " G rapes, " he traced through several streets, and at l eng th came up to a man, who was bar gainingy. ih itinerant The constable, vendor o f coffee at o onto c f e u rt took k vessel charget o holdd at. f the individual and c( nveyed him to the st i ~ .0n.h0,, where, on searching bill), two bottles of brandy, a large quantity of fsrthings, and other monies, and some 1 bt-"otutr,.l:rWaking implements were found upon him.

" Nearly all the articles of the treaty will be revised, the provisional courts of justice will be dimini,hed lo tho number positively necessary for the course of judi cature." The same journal states that N. LUZAR. will quit the Ministry of the Interior, which will be under taken by M. TUORBICKE, and that M. DE KEMPA NAER will take the portfolio of the Finance. THE BOURSE.—The happy issue of the Chartist demonstration having been made known, every in• quietude ceased at the Bourne, which assumed a favourable aspect, and all the funds improved more or less. There was a good deal of business, chiefly in national funds and integrals. The Russian funds were in demand, and the Five per Cents. rose from 70 to 76 ; there was afterwards a sliglA reaction, but they closed 8 per cent. higher than yesterday. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, APRIL 12.—At the sitting of the second Chamber yesterday, the Minister of Finance pre sented a project of law, for a supplementary loan of 200,000 francs, for the fabrication of copper money. and for the suspension of several ordinances of the law relative to differential duties. - His MAJESTY has placed the sum of 10,000 francs in the hands of the Burgomaster of Brussels as a sub scriptkn to the sum now being raised in aid of the hospitals. The price of wheat and rye, says the Courrier Beige, has reached so low a point, that we shall be compelled to consi ler any further decline as highly prejudicial to the agriculturalist. 'Wheat was noted the whole of last week at 17f. 16e. per hecto. litre, and Rye at 10f. 44c. During this week it has continued to fall. Wheat was noted at 15f. BYc. per hectolitre. The Bourse of Brussels was in a very favourable state again to day. The funds continue to rise rapidly. The Five per Cents., which yesterday were 541, are to day 58i. Four-and-a-Half per Cents, have risen from 501 to 55 ; Two-and-a-Half from 29 to 30. We have received satisfactory intelligence both from England and France. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The greatest enthusiasm prevails among the Danes, who are determined to make every sacrifice to main tain the rights of their KING over the Duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The number of horses sent for the army by private individuals is already so great that the Minister of War has announced that he at present cannot receive any more ; great sums of money have been subscribed in all parts of the country. The Danish party in the Duchies is much more powerful than from German accounts we had been led to expect. The rich island of 2Ero has in a great meeting protested against the incorporation with Germany, and dechred themselves ready to defend their union with Denmark as an independent province, and their allegiance to their Sovereign ; on the island of Alsen , cowaining 27,000 inhabitants, the residence of the Duke of AUGUSTENBURG, 2,000 men have joined the Danish army as volunteers. One of the first deeds of the insurgents has been to extinguish the light on Femern, in the hope of preventing Danish vessels from entering the im• portant harbours on the coast. The KING has issued the following proclamation : PROCLAMATI N OF THE KING TO THE SCHLF.SWIGERS '• Men of Schleswig,—My last wordto;;;;;;tri; I would soon see you face to face, This my royal word do I now fulfil; as God is my witn, ss that I intend to fulfil every pronase which, prompted by love to my sub jects, I have given you. \ten of Schleswig,—Confiding in my just cause, I stand in the midst of you. I stand here to force lies and falsehood to throw off their masks. I stand here to render it impossible for the traitors to tear you from me by falsehood. I stand here to shom you, as well as t he whole world, that it is my free and determined will to fight for my right to the last. " Faithful men of Schleswig I—Gather round your King, who will lead you to freedom and will grant all the rights that can secure your happiness; and if amongst you there are some who are misled, give me an opportunity to appear amon,:st you as a mild and fin-giving lord, by yourselves prevailing upon these mis led men to depart while it is still time, from the insur gents, whose audacious conduct will bring down upon their guilty heads a just punishment. " Alen of Schleswig,—Before concluding, let me in form you that I will summon the authorities of the land before a commission I have appointed to admininter the affairs of the country, in order that they may give me information of the state of the country, and have an opportunity to render an account of their acts and their conduct. " Given in the town of Sonderborg (in the Isle of Alen), the 6th of April, 1848. " FREDERICK R." Thera is no later intelligence from the seat of war, but it is said that the flower of the youth of the !nest influential families of Schleswig and Holstein fell in the battle which was fought on Sunday. POLAND. Baron KRIEG, the Imperial Commissary at Cracow, published a proclamation on the 6th instant, announcing that, in compliance with the wishes of the deputations of the inhabitants, he sanctions the formation of a committee of the citi zens, which shall serve as intermediaries between the people and the Government, and which shall represent to the latter the wishes of the people. PLESCEIEN, APRIL 7, TWELVE O'CLOCK AT NOON This morning the Polish military prepared for attack. Yestesday a great number of agricultural implements, iron bars, planks, &c., were brought into the city trom every quarter ; the paving stones were torn up in the streets in order that missiles might be at hand, and barricades have been erected at all the principal points. Towards noon the Polish military entered the city. They consist of a train of Ulaners, about two thousand men strong, completely equipped, and fully organized. They were soon followed by the nobles with their scythemen, so that Pleschen is now occupied by the military. It is to be the rendezvous for the surrounding districts. It was resolved that no Prussian soldier should be admitted into the city yesterday even ing. At nine o'clock the tocsin was sounded, there was a call to arms, by way of trial. All the barricades were garrisoned. The Prussian troops would not be able to take the city without the greatest exertions. DANZIG, APRIL B.—One of our merchants returned hither from Warsaw a few days ago, and confirmed the intelligence that no more passports can be obtained from abroad. In Warsaw itself the greatest excite ment prevails, and the city resembles an encamp ment. The troops bivouacked in the public squares. Thr watchfires are lighted at night, and every person is shot at v► ho does not reply when called to. Very few people, however, venture into the streets after night fall, and none are permitted to do so without a lantern. A most unnatural depression prevails here, and there is a complete stagnation of business. A short time since, when a high personage was at Warsaw, it was determined to give a grand ballet at the Theatre in his honour. The house, however, was almost empty, and an order was issued fur some officers and officials to repair thither, or the honoured guest would have had the house almost to himself. Not only have all the weapons been taken away from the Poles, but even all sharp instruments, and the inhabitants have been prohibited from making any. At the same time, the citadel is so well furnished, that if the slightest movement should take place in the city, it would instantly be reduced to a mass. If, therefore, Poland does not receive assistance from abroad, or some revolution shakes Russia to her centre, and overwhelms its tyranny, there is no likelihood that Poland will break her chains. Ilamburgh Borsenhallc, April 11. PRINCE METTERNICH. It is said that Prince METTERNICH is to embark this day at Rotterdam for England. ELECTION OF ALDERMAN OF BREAD• STREET W.IRD. —This morning a wardwute was held at Curd wainers' Hall for the purpose of electing an alderman for Bread street NV ard, iu the room of Hughes Hughes, Esq., resigned. The Lord Mayor took the chair. Mr John Lupton pro posed Mr. William Lawrence, builder, as alderman ; Mr. Bauch seconded the motion, and he was elected unanimously. Votes of thanks to the late alderman and to the Lord Mayor passed unanimously. We understand that the Lord Mayor has deter rnint.d, in conjunction with the leading bankers and merchants of the city of London, to convey to her Ma i,st)'lE, Ministers an expression of their approval of the very determined measures which were adopted by them to preserve the peace and good order of the metropolis 00 Monday last. Mr. Monckton Milnes paired off with the Hon. Mr. Littleton against the words " open and advised speakibg " in the Crown and Government Security Bill. ITALY. LOMBARDY. No engagement had taken pace between the Pied tnontese and Austrians up to the 7th instant. The Austrians have thrown a strong force into the citadel of Legnano, on the Adige, below Verona• This point commands the roads to Rovigo and Fer rara and the Adige. The Roman division has crossed the Po, advancing on Rovigo-10,000 strong, accompanied by two Swiss regiments, and 5,000 volunteers. The head-quarters of CHARLES ALBERT are at WO days' march from Verona. The Milan Gazette of the 6th contains a long de* .cription of the funeral procession and obsequies which took place in honour of the victims of the re volution of March. The pageant was magnificent, and remarkable for the enthusiasm that pervaded the dense mass of spectators. The last official bulletin contains nothing of importance. The Austrians had capitulated at Magnavacca ; General ZUCCBI still occupied the banks of the Isonzo. Letters from Dalmatia, says the bulletin, assert that a British lorce has occupied Zara and the island of Lisca in the Adriatic. A supplement to the same journal announces, from Palermo, March 29, that the Sicilian Parliament hill confirmed the right of the King of NAPLSS over q uotes The Lega Italian of Genoa, of the Bth, Croatian journals, announcing that political agitation has begun in Croatia also.

InE £141.1.1.0i5S " 'TIE SUN" CONTAIN, AS USUAL, £!IE LATEST PARLIAMENTAItY INTELLIGENCE, At the present period, when liberal principles are riumphing in all parts of the world, it is in no wise fitting that England, who has so long led the van of liberalism, should in any degree relax in her exer tions in the great cause of progress and reform. On the contrary, it is now more especially incumbent epon us to exhibit fresh ardour and resolution, and to emulate those struggles of philanthropy and free dom for which we have so constantly testified our anreigned sympathy and aemiration. By an emula tion of those struggles we are far from intending to signify an emulation of the republicanism of Paris, or the revolutions of Germany. It is, however, the duty of En;land now to emulate the liberal spirit which has inspired those wonderful changes, and to give very unmistakeable signs that her anxiety in promoting popular liberty and reform is in no one particular diminished. That liberal principles of the most extreme, yet- withal temperate and loyal cha racter, exist to a peculiar extent in this country is undisputed ; nevertheless, some especial manifestation of their existence is just now wanting. Not such a manifestation as that which last week alarmed the Government and agitated the country, and the result of which has overwhelmed the true champions of the people with intolerable shame and indignation. Not such a manifestation as that is now demanded of us, Our liberal principles require to be manifested by ad ditional fruits. We are zealous for Reform, say we; Under the pretext of organizing a compact and then let some new reforms (these are assuredly colossal nationality throughout the Germanic Con- sufficiently needed) testify our zeal.

The Prussian States Gazette of the 12th contains the proclamation of the KING, for the new regulation for the elections to the German Parliament. Accord ing to the recent decision of the Germanic Diet, the number of delegates to be sent by Prussia will be 159, exclusive of the province of Prussia, but includ ing that province, 191. The elections in the various provinces will be as follows : Brandenburg Pomerania Silesia Saxony 23 Westphalia ••• 20 Rheni.4h Provinces Prussian ditto This royal proclamation, countersigned by the Ministers, was given at Berlin on the 11th of April. A disturbance occurred at one of the prisons in Cologne on the 11th. The prisoners killed one of the keepers with his own sword, and wounded another. They then broke through many of the gates, and asseiribled in the cot ridor of the third floor. The guards entered, and were obliged to fire on the prisoners before they could bring them to their senses; only one was wounded. The only thing which has in any way disturbed the peace of the town has been caused by some excesses committed by some of the recruits from Pomerania. The civic guard succeeded in stopping them, but not without bloodshed, the recruits having resisted. AUSTRIA. The Wiener Zeitung, of the 9th inst., says :- The Imperial Ambassador at the Court of Naples, Prince Felix Schwarzenberg, found it necessary to quit Naples on the 28th of March. His resolution was taken in con sequence of the following circumstances :—On the even ing of the 25th, the mob tore down the Imperial Aus trian arms at the residence of the Ambassador, and burnt them publicly in the market-place, the burgher guard, to the number of forty men, with their officer, quietly looking on. On the same evening the Prince sent in a note, demanding satisfaction for this act of aggression. To this no answer was returned, whereupon the Prince wrote a second note on tit,- 27th, and in the course of the day received a note from Prince Carioti, Secretary of State, saying that the Govern ment regrets the destruction of the Austrian arms, which was effected not by Neapolitan subjects, but by persons who were exasperated at the course of recent events in Vienna, as well as in the kingdom of Lombardy. That on learning that the Austrian arms had been destroyed at Rime, the Neapolitan Govern ment had taken steps to prevent a similar breach of pre rogative at Naples; unhappily, however, at a moment when tranquillity prevailed, the people had most unex pectedly committed the untoward act, without the possi bility of interference on the part of the Government. That, however, the Prince need not be surprised at the occurrence, inasmuch as he was well aware, that in a large capital, provided with the most disciplined and tru tworthy troops, it had not been possible to prevent far more serious disturbances Under these co cum stances the Court of Naples hoped that the teelings of the Austrian Ambassador would be appeased, and that, following the example of the Austrian Ambassador at Rome, he would continue his friendly relations with the Government." This note of Prince CARIOTI was deemed very un satisfactory by Prince SCHWARZBNBERG, who de manded in reply that the Austrian arms sh.aild be replaced by the Neapolitan Government at the hotel of the Ambassador, and secondly, that a declaration disavowing the act should be inserted without delay in the official journal Delle due Sicilie. A categorical answer was also demanded within twenty-four hours. In the course of the same day a Neapolitan Minis terial proclamation was issued, signed by GIACOMO rOFANO, Ministerior of the Interior, calling upon young patriotic men to enter a corps of volunteers, destined to go by sea to Leghorn, where they were to be divided into battalions and regiments, and sent to Upper Italy. Upon this Prince SCHWARZENDERG addressed an immediate note to Prince CARIOTI, stating that a part of Upper Italy was an integral part of Austria, and that the corps of volunteers could have no other possible ostensible view than that of aiding the insur gents in the Kingdom of Lombardy and Venice. He demanded a categorical explanation within twenty hours respecting the cause of the said armament. To this note of Prince SCHWARZENBERO, Prince CARIOTI sent the following reply : " Naples, March 28. 1848. " This morning at eight o'clock the undersigned minister received the two notes addressed to bun by Prince Schwarzenberg yesterday, one ot which refers to the untoward circumstance of the demolition of the Imperial arms placed, at the entrance of his residence, and the other to the departure of some Neapolitan volunteers to Leghorn. _ _ "In the prospect of the resignation of the ministers, cud as the undersigned cannot possibly take upon him self the responsibility of replying without the concur rence of the Cabinet Council, he is under the necessity of requesting the Prince to await the formation of the new Cahine:, to whom the demands of the Prince shall be submitted for their speedy decision. "Assured that-the, Prince will duly appreciate the unavoidable cause of the delay, &c. &c. (Signed) " PRINCE CARIOTI." HESSE CASSEL. A Successful revolution broke out at Hesse Cassel on the 9th. The people assembled about the hotels of the ex-Ministers, who were very unpopular. The soldiery were called out to disperse the discontented. They charged the people, who immediately armed themselves, and threw up barricades. A smart fight took place, and the arsenal was taken by storm by the insurgents. They then proceeded to the bar racks, and after a brief opposition the soldiers re tired, leaving the town in the hands of the people. rhe building was soon sacked and razed to the ground. Four thousand muskets were found there, with which the people armed themselves. They demand the disbanding of the regiments which fired on them. FRANKFORT. The Frankfort journal publishes the following pro clamation, addressed by the Committee of Fifty of the Provisional Parliament of Frankfort to the German people, for the convocation of a National Assembly : " To all who inhabit Germany and who have German hearts we address the present appeal ; and you also, Croatians; you, men of Schleswig and eastern and wes tern Prussia, until now the artifices of diplomacy have keot you separate from us ; now, on the contrary, you are our brothers. Our German country must be one country only, great and free. Tue whole German people will it, and the will of a people is irresistible. Men invested with the confidence of the public have as. sembled at Frankfort to prepare for the realisition of the of the people. Not having been selected by a regular choice, they have regarded it as a duty to convoke a na tional conhtituent assembly, and to abandon to it the regu lation of the future destiny of Germacy. The whole Ger man people must be represented in t he National Assembly. No difference of condition, fortune, or religious creed will limit the liberty of the elemions. Every citizen of age, and independent, is an elector in his country, and eligible in all Germany. As the bases of the welfare of the people the Assembly has recognised—the un limited liberty of opinions ; the liberty of conscience and faith ; 'the right of associations ; the protection of individual liberty ; the independence of the tribunals and of justice, and the institution of the jury ; the pro tection of the labouring classes ; the just assessment of taxes, the independence of the communes, the subordina- Lion of individual to generality, and the free development of the national spirit. In order to guarantee all these precious advantages, and that individual will may never resist the general interest, the Assembly has resolved on the general arming of the people ; we must also be armed, and ready to defend ourselves against foreign enemies. The Assembly has resolved that Schleswig and also eastern and western Prussia shall enter into the Germanic Confederation. It has rejected for Germany the ignominy of the partition of Poland, and imposes upon the German people the duty of endeavouring to secure for the Poles the restoration of their country. Whatever may be the result of these resolutions, Germany is sufficiently strong to answer for the consequences that they may produce; the spirit of concord and general defence are the surest guarantees for victory. Men of Germany! You know what has happened and what may happen; it is for you to complete what the assembly in whose name we speak has commenced. It is in its name that we invite you to commence the general elections with gravity and regularity. Send to the National Assembly plain and honest men ; men who have proved to the people that the wish fur the general good overpowers in them all considerations of private interest; in whose eyes justice has a higher place than considerations of classes and prejudices, and who regard truth as more va l ua bl e t h an the v i ctory o f i n di v idual opinion. R e fl ect on your mission; reflect that your fathers look dow n u p on you." HOLLAND. The Journal de Limbourg states that it has received from an authentic source the following statements respecting the projects of reform of the fundamental law : " The electoral census will be fixed at 20 , . to 225 f. " The Kin g w ill no longer exercise absolute authority in the colonies. SAVO Y. A letter from Chambery of April 8 says-- " All the Frenchmen who formed part of the exPe d , i : e lion against Savoy and the town of Chambery " t been set at liberty. It was not thoug h t pro per to o c ri severely against men deceived by their leaders, the other hand, it w as deemed hi dvistible to show " a t -- these events hail not produced any sentiments hostile 0 France and the Republic.
