J. Napier, Esq., M.P., the Ref. J. Racket.. the 8.". E. Oriel, the Rev. E. CurtqiQ, &c. The at te,idance on this occasion was unusually ecanty. The proceedings hayi ng been opened by prayer, the report was read ; and from its statements we gather that the total number of schools belonging to the Church Educa tion Society in Ireland is 1,859 ; scholars 116,968, 57,633 of whom were connected with the Established Church, 14,697 were children of Protestant Dissenters, and 44,638 were Roman Catholic pupils. There was a total increase of 20,153 scholars over the number in 1846-14.947 of which increase were Roman Catholics a l on e. The total receipts of the society (including the diocesan branches anal the general soci,ty's income) amounted to 40,4101. Bt. 6id., being 1,2 0 8/. 14s. less than the income in 1846.

To be strong, the National Assembly must be free, and disengaged from all pressure from without. We know that the citizens taking part in this manifesta tion are animated with the same sentiments as those which guide the whole National Assembly. But it must necessarily follow that a certain number of the members will hold themselves bound to resist measures which will thus have the appearance of being imposed upon them. If they are adopted it will not be with that unanimity which makes their greatest force. Abroad, they will be said to be the result of intimidation, and then they will become devoid of all salutary effect. Is there not also some danger for us in Paris? A part of the National Guard will be on foot. The procession will not be suffered to reach the Chamber. Who can say that some misunderstanding may not arise, and that a conflict may not take place. At this time, when we have so much need of a revival of confidence, how can any one think of thus taking the risk of such eventu alities? When we conjure all good citizens to abstain from taking part in this manifestation, we are only the organ of a great number of Poles, who fear, more than any other pers&.ns, for the success of the cause which they have defended with so much devoted courage from the realisation of such a project." The following is a report of the proceedings in the Natior.al Assembly yesterday up to the hour of post: — NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.—SITTING OF MAY 12. s t l 3 ne The President took the chai r at one o'clock. I occupiedM b ini } t t rY the Provisional Go vernment, their places en the left of the Pre,ident. A proposition was made b y an honourable repre sen tative that. the Minister of the Interior should submit to the Assembly a return of all the f u n ds p l aced a t hi s dis posal since February the 24th; how these funds had been applied, particularly with respect to the working classes; also to state what was the condition of manu factures and commerce in Paris at [resent. M. Jules de Lasteyrie presented a petition in favour of Polarri from the members of the Democratic Club. M. Pertib-,guier presented a proposition declaring that the situation of representative of the people was incom patible with that of public functionary, with the excep tier' of offi,.ers of the army, the executive council, minis ter and under-secretaries of state. Referred to the standing committee. The order of the day was the discussion on the mode of nominating the Committee on the constitution. M. Berry er said that there were two modes of appointing the Committee in question—one by the Assembly direct, and the other by the bureaux. In the first case, it would be certain that the Assembly, after fitting discussion, would choose the men who appeared most likely to draw up the best draft of the constitution ; but there was this disadvantage, that many men who could throw out ex cellent ideas were afraid' to speak from the tribune, and thus their experience or the knowledge which they could bring to the question would be lost. If the bureaux were to name the Members of the Committee, it might hap pen that the men of the greatest information should be in the minority, and thus be excluded from the Com mittee. He should propose a mode by which the two plans could be reconciled, which was to have the matter first discussed at large in the Assembly, and then the whole of the Members to be appointed by lists in the bureaux. When the bureaux had voted, the different lists would be compared together, and the thirty-six who had the greatest number of votes nominated. M. Lherbette declared that the bureaux, by the plan proposed, must be voting as if it were in the dark. He thought that for so important a question the nomination of the Committee ought to be as solemn as possible—in other words, ought to be effected by the whole Chamber. M. Coyne proposed that the bureaux should name four members each, and that the representatives thus named should be brought before the Assembly, and there selected, thirty-six names being chosen as the coin (raj ttee. M. Ducoux proposed that there shouldthe elected a preparatory Committee chosen from the whole Chamber, one for every 210,000 inhabitants of Fiance, or 150 M tubers out of the whole Chamber, who should withdraw to the old Chamber, and then, atter mature deliberation, appoint in their turn a definitive Committee of thirty-six Members, who should prepare the draft of the Constitution. M. Callet proposed that there should be eighteen members chosen by the bureaux, and eighteen by the Assembly, the thirty-six thus ctiosen being considered definitive.—(Hear, hear.) M. Berryer signified that he withdrew his proposition in favour of that just brought forward. M. Jolly and two other Members having addressed the Assembly on the various plans brought forward, the discussion was declared to be closed. The Assembly decided by a show of hands (the first having been doubtful), that M. Callet's proposition should be first decided on. Tne Assembly first voted, by a large majority, that the number of the Committee should be thirty-six. The Marquis de Larochejtquelin said that he should propose to the Assembly to have the 18 members of the e b A u s r s e e a mid u , ,yn wa.bpeyrpek lso hat fi th r t,e s q t 3wi , :h an, whole theel t s h lbai e iata n timleu t r h et s e cwoa o on.i t ue h : e a l chih l ae B slti sinnt electionaatrnhl by an absolute maturity. (If this last part of the pro spho: y trom morning till night.) M. Cremieux declared himself opposed to the number of 36 for the Committee, and even the mode of nominat ing the members composing it. It was neither an ap pointment of the Assembly nor by the bureaux—it had none of the advantages, and all the inconveniences, of both. lie preferred M. Corne's plan.—(Agitation.) Some further discussion task place, and then M. Callet's proposition, though previously appearing to have given satisfaction to the great majority ot the Members, was rejected.—(Renewed agitation.) M. Übine proposed that a Committee be appointed to consider all the propositions brought forward.—Re jected. The Assembly then went back on the number, of which the Committee was to be composed, the former vote going for nothing, being considered applicable to M. Callet's proposition alone. There were various numbers proposed, vie., 150, 36. 25, 18, 12, and 9. The highest number was submitted to the Assembly first. The numbers were rejected suc cessively until the number 18 was come to, which was agreed to. M. Come considered his proposition excellent when 36 members were to be named, but he thought it objec tionable when the number was reduced to 18. In conse quence he withdrew it.—(Great agitation.) Another Member said that he should in that case adopt the proposition, and bring it forward fur him selt.—(oll, oh!) Some discussion of a confased character here arose, and the Honourable Member who wished to take up M. Cerise's proposition signified that he should not insist, but in consequence of some suggestions made to him, should withdraw the signification he had just given. The President said that, as great difficulty was evi dently felt in coming decide that the discussion hut should be resumed next day, thus giving the Mem sahnoualrdratnigeeniusg.not,nhoe fusrhitheuelrd, hers of the Assembly time to discuss the matters in their bureaux. M. Napoleon Bonaparte (son of Jerome, ex -King of Westphalia) moved that the Minister of Foreign Affairs should lay on the table all the documents relating to Poltead and Italy since the 24th of February to the pre sent time. This course, he said, was absolutely neces sary, fur the better information of Members, fur the dis cussion which was to take place on Me nday. [The likeness of this gentleman to the Emperor Na polesti is most extraorditeary.] M. G. Bastide (Minister ot Foreign Affairs) replied, that all such documents relating to the countries named, as could be made public without inconvenience or injury to pending negotiations, should be at once deposited in the archives fur the examination of the members of the Assembly. M. Lasteyrie (reporter of the Committee on petitions) brought forward the rules and regulations relative to h u em modee nt a . of presenting, discussing, and v otin g such &s -old 'They Chamber,differ a b n U d t s little ev e l a f i r opo m ints t h the whichrul e s were followed n ot on were referred to the Committee on the Constitution when appointed. With the exception o f these points, the regulations were agreed to. dde i c n id th ed e M. Darien's inquired if it was true that the E xecutive Committee did not intend to attend the public sitt in g s ? M. Cremieux replied that he had not beard a word of the matter, and did not believe it to be true.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer has also received half•notes for 13/. from " W. C. it." eb-ening LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 13, 1848. Paris sets the fashion, and, consequently, insurrec tions have become quite the vogue since the revo'ution of February. The populace both of the Peninsula and the Continent evince quite as much Skill in dress ing up a political contention ci la Francais, as the immortal ALEXIS SOTER might do in cook . ing the daintiest poison en papilotte. come has evinced its aptitude in this peculiar kind of imitation. Under the h ylilyguidince of Cie E ROACCHIO, and the intellec tual guidance of MAeitarsi, the inhabitants of the Eternal City have latterly carried, the banners of revolt even to the very pinnacle of the Quirinal. Posen, again, has become the ererei for an armed struggle between the scythebearers of Poland and the soldiers of Prussia. MteaosLawsKt has con ducted the insurgents to the gates. of Gnesen, the ancient c +pita`, of the G, and D uchv, an d the ranks of their Germanic conquerors are thing thinned to the tune of the pa - riotic chorus, lynch ist Allen Nicht vcrlorPn. Madri I has likewise become a scene of carnage—the carnage of rebellion and of ex , cations. A new civil war has broken out in the c apital of Spain under circumstances precisely similar to those which hurled Louts PHI LIPPE from the throne of the Barricades. A frigh rful impoverish ment of the exchequer, the adoption of a policy extra vagantly despotic, the the concentrationu of an absolute and . corrupt stry d_ e e authority betraysin the a hands i i o n f i oauns similitudebn ox io u s between the official posture of Frat ice in January, and Spain in May. In the clam ours which are becoming audible in the streets oIS . Madrid there is a resemblance to the memorable cry " A has les ilfinisterel, and in the conduct ,of CORDOVA. and NArtvAEz a vivid similarity to that which marked the intermural campaigning of BUG EAUD and JAC (=MINOT. How the Madrid disturbances will ter minate, whether in the modification of the present Government, or in the destruction of ISABELLA S sovereignty, it is scarcely at this moment possible to conjecture, but that the peninsular emeutes are assum ing a rather formidable character is certain, not only from the fears of CHRISTINA as to the possible instal lation of a Provisional Republic, but also from the disposition of her Most Catholic MAJESTT to summon ESPARTERO to her assistance. The popularity of that illustrious and patriotic soldier would prove more effectual, we are satisfied, in the tranquillization of the Spanish capital than either the probity of MOLE, the derision of TRIERS, or the restrained audacity of ODILON BARROT in quelling the fury of the Parisians. That some modification at least must follow upon the recent occurrences in Madrid, is as inevitable as that Gallia). and Lithuania Kill be affected by the convulsion of Posen, or that Tuscany and the Abruzzi will experience a certain degree of sympathy in the movements of the Roman multitude, or that Mecklenburg and Northern Jut land will be influenced by the warlike events in Schleswig- Helstetn, or that Switzerland and the Tyrol will echo among their Alpine crags the battle songs of Piedmont and the death cries of Lombardy. Cer tain as these things are, it isequilly uncertain whether Posen , A ill be permanently quieted by the establish ment of the Poli.h kingdom under the Duke of L TENBURG, the nominee and son-in-law of NICHOLAS ; Vfo het r,er Madrid will retain its quietude by the expulsion of ISABELLA. or the recal of RAPARTERO ; whether Rome will declare itself for a Republic or for a renewal of its obedience to the Sovereign PONTIFF; whether Schleswig will continue an ap. pen,ge of the Danish diadem or be forcibly annexed to the Germanic Confederation ; or whether Lom bardy will reconquer its solitary independence or as sociate its fortunes with those of the Venetians. As yet all these results are concealed in the inscrutable book of Futurity ; the leaves have yet to be turned which shall recount the consummation of these several movements. Still, whatever may be the se quence of late occurrences, it is certain that the Paris fashion has been scrupulously followed in Denmark, in Spain, in Poland, in Lombardy, and in the Papal States— the fashion of coiffeurs and constitutions, of stomachers and revolts. Meanwhile Paris herself has lately witnessed a marvellous series of vicissitudes. After all the heroism of the days of February, after all the glory of the Provisional Government, the national represen tatives are evincing a triple tendency, a tendency to apathy, reaction, and ingratitude. Louis BLANC has lost his popularity. That fact, however, we are not disposed to quarrel with, since the Commission of the Luxembourg has proved to be only a splendid humbug, the most idle and seductive of the many idle and seductive illusions of Commu nism, the vision of labour amidst luxury, of artisans couched upon velvet, of tinkers, and tailors, and car penters, and cobblers, suddenly translated from the workshop to the palace. Like CHRISTOPHER in the induction to SHASSPERE'S comedy, the. Toilers of France have gazed on the magnificence which has been revealed to them by an accident, until they have roused themselves from their bewilderment with a homely ejaculation, "For GoD's sake, a cup of small beer !" Louis BLANC has, we repeat it, lost his popularity. ALBERT, in like manner, has reverted to his former obscurity. Neither have any longer the sma.lest share in the Administration. DUPONT (de l'Eure) is henceforth nothing more than a imple representative; and MARRAST—the moderate and intelligent ARMAND MARRAST —is exclusively restricted to his functions as Mayor of Paris. Alto gether the Provisional Government has been defi nitively replaced by the newly- elected Government of Five Commissioners. As everybAly knows already, that Commission consists of A RAGO, GARNIER PAGES, MARIE, LAMARTINE, and LEDRU ROLLIN. LAMARTINE being fourth n the list! Fourth! After MARIE, a man, who, not A.ithstanding his undoubted probity and in disputable ability, is still nothing better, compare tivelY speaking, than a political cypher. After ARAGO, or even alter GARNIER PAGES, a man might come without anything like disgrace—but after MARIE ! And it is LANIARTINE, to ), of all men in the whole wide world, who is thus slighted by the Na tional Assembly—it is LAMARTINE who is selected after M A RIE, and only intmilliately before LEDUC ROLLIN. The secret ut this is obvious--it has partly arisen from the hatred of the Ultras against the moderation of LAMARTINE S policy, partly from the opposition of those Moderates who have failed to re cognise the profound wisdom of LAMARTINE'S adhesion to the personal interests of LEDRU ROLLIN, and partly, and indeed principally, from the jealousy of the obscure many to the one glorious unit of the National Assembly. This is the secret. If LAMAR TINE were less illustrious, he would have been more successful. Of t} :e new Ministry, appointed by the Govern ment Commission, here is the catalogue : M. J. Bastide Foreign Affairs. M. J. Favre Under •Secretary ditto. M. Recurt M. Carteret Under-Secretary ditto. M. Duclerc Colonel Charras Admiral Cazy Marine. M. 'l'relat M. Creruieux M. Bethmont M. Carnot . M. Jean Reyaud -Under-Secretary ditto. M. Flocon Marrast Mayor of Paris. M. Caussidierre M. Pognerre Secretary of the Executive Government. But for the superintendence of the Five Commis sioners, we should certainly, from the inexperience of the majority of the Cabinet, designate the Minis try the Ministry of Mediocrity. It is a satisfaction to reflect, however, that over this somewhat dubious cour.cil the genius of the five Commissioners will preside. From the palace of the Elysee Bourbon, they will act like a second, but more fortunate, Directory. Beyond this, it must be remem bered, that while DucLEltc has hitherto been secretary to GARNIER PAGES, and BASTIDE secretary to LAMARTINE, FAVRE, the new Under -Secretary for Foreign Affairs, has been engaged as principal secretary to the late Provi sional Minister of the Interior, and has throughout been the most active instrument of the obnoxious despotism of LEDRU ROLLIN. In addition to M. FAVRE, there are three other creatures of LEDRU RoLLIN in the Administration, CATARET, TRELAT, arid FLOCON. In the Departments of War and Marine it will be seen that the appointment of Colonel CHARRAS is only temporary, while Admiral CAzr . is a name almo,t unknown in the annals of his profession. Two physicians are in the Ministry, RECURT and TRELAT, but while Dr. TRELAT is of notoriously ultra-republican principles, the opinions of Dr. RECURT are eminent for their moderation. Of the reA, it will be perceived that MARRAST still remains Mayor of Paris, PAGNERRE still Secretary- General, CAUSSIDIERRE still Prefect of Police, CRE MLEUX Kill Minister of Justi,:e, CARNOT still Minister of Pubic Instruction, and that BETIIMONT has been removed to the Ministry of Public Worship. Such is the analysis of the new Commission of Government for the French Republic. Its auspices are rather indifferent, for it has been elected with Yuspicion, and is principally characterised by inexperience. The long-deferred motion fur the appointment of a Committee to inquire into the merits of the petition of the electors of Stamford was last night brought forward by Mr. Woon. The subject occasioned some very earnest debating, the result of which was a majority in favour of appointing a Committee —but a majority of only one. After reading the speeches on both sides of the question, it seems most extraordinary that such should have been the result, for the arguments of all or nearly all these speakers may be regarded, prima facie, as so many arguments for t he motion. For instance, if the Noble and Right Hon. Members for Stamford be so firmly convinced of the inno cence of the Marquis of EXETER, as they would appear to be, how can they shrink from an investigation which would make his in nocence conspicuous to the worli? The friends of the Marquis of EXETER (supposing the charges to be false) are the very persons whom we should presume to be most anxious to have the matter cleared up. Hence, to our thinking, the reasoning of the Members for Stamford is incomprehensible. The Marquis is innocent, they say, the charges of the peti tioners are utterly groundless, but let us say no more about the matter. Such reasoning in other affairs would not be tolerated for a moment. Such reasoning may almost be taken as presumptive evidence in favour of the petitioners. If, we again repeat it, if the charges against the Noble Marquis be false, his friends, and more especially the Members for the borough in question, should he the very parties to press for an investigation. We do not wish, prior to such investigation, to give any opinion as to the con duct of the Al arquis of EXETER, yet, supposing him in nocent, we cannot but consider the proceedings of his friends as being most injudicious. Their language should have been similar to that of Lord J. rtussEr.l., who, without expressing a conclusive opinion as to the merits of the case, but yet being anxious to disbelieve the charges, declared himself in favour of a full investigation, that being the fairest and most satis factory mode of settling the difficulty. " I should say," observed Lord JOHN RUSSELL, " that if the voting for that Committee of inquiry was in any way a condemnation of the conduct of Lord EXETER, I should not vote for the Committee." But without in any way condemning Lord EXETER, the Noble Lord proceeded to state his reasons in favour of an investigation. His arguments are most unanswer stble, and sum up the whole matter in a few words. 44 If," said Lord J. RUSSELL, " it should appear that Lord EXETER exercises no other influence than that which may be fairly and legitimately exercised, then 'we must come to the conclusion that these sdlegatiens have been brought forward without proof, sand the public mind will be satisfied. If, on the other hand, these allegations should receive cerrobo ration, then we should not be justified by the event in refusing the inquiry that has been asked for. :Upon the whole," added the Noble Lord, "I cer tainly come to the conclusion that those allegations having been made, it is far better that there should be some inquiry, than that, by one vote to-night, we should agree that no further proceedings should take place." In this conclusion the House have also concurred, though by so very insignificant a majority ; yet we cannot exactly call it insignifi cant, for that single vote which decided the majority will be fraught with very important consequences. The result of last night's division cannot fail to afford -very general satisfaction, for, however much opinion may be divided as to the particular facts of the case, the necessity which exists for a complete investiga tion is too indubitable to _be for a moment called in question. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. M. PAGNERRE has been appointed Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Government. The members of the Executive Committee of Go vernment quitted their several ministerial residences yesterday ; MM. LAMARTINE, LEDRU ItowN, and ARAGO occupying the Palace of the Elysee Bourbon, which will be the official Palace of the Executive Committee, and in which their sittings will be held. MM. GARNIER PAGES and MARIE occupy apartments in the Luxemb'hurg. The Messager says— " The public buildings which have been hitherto lent to the different clubs for their meetings are no longer to be so used, and they must, in future, hire places of meeting, it they think fit to continue them. This may probsbl) have the effect of lessening their number." The Commission named by the Minister of Justice for the re-organization of the judicial system has de cided on the establishment of a bureau for the poor, composed of an advocate, an avoue (attorney), and other officers, whose duty it shall be to furnish legal advice and assistance to those who cannot afford to pay for them. An order has come down to Boulogne from Paris to put the whole line of coast in a state of defence, and to mount guns on the detached forts, which are built a Hale way out at sea. The gates of the upper town are also to be repaired and fortified. A similar order has been received at Besuccon, on the Swiss frontiers, and the army of the Alps is to be increased by a fourth division of infantry, of three brigades, coming from Al6iers. It will then consist of 38,000 men. Some apprehensions were entertained that an armed demonstrltiun in favour of the Poles might take place in Paris to-day. It is said that the workmen on the Northern Rail road have struck work. We read in the Commerce—" The Ultra-Republi cans of the National Assembly held a meeting yes terday evening in the seventeenth Committee-room. The entrance of MM. TRELAT, FLOCON, JULES PAYEE, and JEAN RETNAUD into the Ministry is said to have been satisfactory to the whole meeting, with the exception of MM. BAUBES and FEESTIN, who wished to have M. FLocom or M. JULES FAvEE for Minister of the Interior. It is certain that M. LEDRU.ROLLIN insisted upon having one or other of these two citizens for his successor, and threatened to retire if one of them was not named. It was no doubt this discord between M. LEDRU-ROLLIN and his colleagues that gave rise to the report of his having resigned his appointment as a member of the Committee of the Executive Government." We find the following in the Sns..cle " We have received the following note, with a request to publish it:—' An imposing manifestation in favour of the Poles is in preparation for Saturday, May 13. All the clubs of Paris are to assemble in one body to carry up an address to the National Assembly. The friends (,f Poland are invited to meet at eleven o'cl oc k on Satur lay, on the Place de la Bastille. The proces-ion will immediately move oil its warch along th e Bouies anis. Measures are taken for the perfect preservation of order.' We have not the least doubt of the good intentions SPAIN. The Madril papers of the 6th inst. bring no news, but a telegraphic dispatch states that a military in surrection broke out in that city on the 7th, at four o'clock in the morning, which was only suppressed after a sanguinary conflict, in which the Captain- General of Madrid, General FuLnosto, the brother in-law of Queen CHRISTINA was killed. It appears that 600 men of the infantry regiment of Espana quitted their barracks under the com mand of their sergeants, and, with colours flying marched to the Plasa-Mayc.r, where they occupied the line of houses forming the north side of the square. There they were joined by some civilian , but not in any considerable numbers. General NAavAEz accompanied by General FULOOSIO, Captain-Genera , of Madrid, and by Generals FIGUERAS, CORDOVA, and CONCHA, proceeded to the scene of the insurrection, and directed that an overwhelming force of infantry, and artillery should fire upon the insurgents. After a sanguinary conflict, the latter, finding that they were not supported as they expected, surrendered, vs ith the exception of about one-third of them, who succeeded in escaping. Amongst the ki,led is General FULGOSIO, brother-in-law of Queen CHRISTINA, who has been succeeded in the command of Madrid by General PEZUELA, and who forthwith assembled a court martial, which in the course of the day condemned seventeen civilians and seventeen solaiers to be shot, and preparations for their execution were in progrest, at the departure of the mail. The ohject of the insurgents is said to have been solely to effect a change of Ministers. They cheered " The QUEEN !" and " Liberty !" in the midst of the fire. Madrid has been again declared in a state of siege A Madrid correspondent writes on the 7th— " The non-commissioned officers of the Regiment of Espana, with a largo number of their men, turned out at the first signal of insui rection, but after fighting bravely for two hours, the soldiers were harangued by their officers, and expressed their repentance. Skveral of the non-commissioned officers were arrested, and will be instantly shot. One of them, to save his life, declared that he and his comrades had been seduced by French agents; but the Spanish Ministry have declared that they were bribed with English gold. It is said that two French Republicans are among the prisoners, and that this time the Government will not show clemency, as they did to the leaders in the last affair. Nar vaez boasts that he cares nothing about the French Government, as the Emperor of Russia will send 100.000 men by sea, if necessary, to support him in his resistance to reform." MADRID BOLSA, MAY 6. The Three per Cents were done at 221 for paper; the Five per Cents. at 14 for cash; the Debt without Interest, at 5:1 ; for parer; and the Coupons, at Si. G E R Al A N Y AND THE NORTHERN STATES. AUSTRIA. The Vienna journals, of the 7th, state that the National Guard and the students of Vienna have united to petition the Ministry to hasten the meeting of the Chambers, and for that purpose to publish a provisional law of election. They demand that there be no census of eligibility, and that three-fourths of the Upper Chamber be elected, and only one-fourth named by the Crown. Of the seven Austrian deputies to the Frankfort Diet, three are for close union with Germany. Baron ANDRIAN is the fourth—a most liberal man. The Frankfort meeting has addressed a brotherly missive to the inhabitahts of Bohemia, Silesia, and Moravia. It i 3 said that the Emperor of AUSTRIA has con cluded with the CZAR an offensive and defensive alliance relative to the reciprocal preservation of their respective territories. The Prussian Cabinet does not accede provisionally to this alliance, and makes her definitive determination on the course to be pursued depend on events in Germany, and on the conduct of the French people. It is affirmed positively that in Prague there has been constituted a secret confederation, which has for its object an alliance of Bohemians, Gallicians, Hun garians, and Croatians, which, under the Crown of Austria, shall oppose itself to the aggressions of Russia—and there is little doubt will also array itself against tha absorption of those nations in the general empire of Germany. VIENNA, MAY 7.—(OrriciAL).—" In reply to va rious inquiries and expressed doubts, the undersigned feels himself called upon to declare publicly that he has not been appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs and of the Imperial House, but that he has simply been commissioned, in consequence of the resignation of Count FIQUELMONT, to take the direction of the Cabinet until a new Minister of Foreign Affairs and of the Imperial House shall have been appointed. " I RANZ Baron VON LEBZELTERN, Councillor of State." The Minister of \Var, in consequence of a state• ment in the Wiener Zeitung of the 4th May, 'that the whole army in Hungary at the present moment does not amount to more than 18,000 men, issued an offi cial notification, stating, that at the end of March, the standing contingent in Hungary already amounted to 24 battalions, 62 squadrons, 19,206 infantry and 10,491 cavalry, In consequence of the calling in of the Hungarian and Galician troops on furlough, this contingent will be increased to 22,255 men infantry, and 10,491 cavalry, making a total of 32,746, not including 2,471 men of the sth artillery regiment. —Wiener Zeitung, May 7. VIENNA.—KOPUTH, it is said, is resolved to re sign his office as Minister, notwithstanding the entreaties of his colleagues, who will not be able to proceed without him. He has, however, suffered much from a complaint of the lungs for some days, and looks pale, and doubtless feels his strength in adequate to allay, by his persuasive eloquence, the storm that is gathering over his agitated country. All the bands of order and obedience are being loosened in Hungary, and the peasants, who have become partly excited and rebellious since the con cessions which have been accorded to them, had been j , ,ined by the depressed nobles. The resignation of Z arms', Minister of War, is universally regretted, and that of Baron Von PILLERSDOttF, Minister of the Interior, whose advancing years renders him unequal to the burden of that office, will be severely felt in many respects. It was expected that Coun FIQUELNIONT (who is no orator) would be succeeded by Count FRANZ STADION, whose superior mind and energy particularly fit him for the helm of Ministerial affairs.—The visit of Count DIETRICH.. STEIN to Prince METTERNICH has excited quite a commotion in the public mind. One of the most in fluential journals exclaims—" How can an Austrian Ambassador visit Prince METTERNICH ? He dots homage to a man who is despised by every man of integrity, and hated by every patriot, and has fled as a fugitive in a foreign land—homage which neither his official situation nor the services of Prince METTERNICH sanction. As Ambassador of Austria he must represent the voice of his nation, and he may not do homage where that nation condemns." A very general desire is expressed that the Minis ter for Foreign Affairs would publish a definite pro gramme relative to the foreign policy of Austria.

The Imperial Provisional Council of Lemberg has issued a notification that henceforth all judicial pro ceedings shall be carried on in the Polish or German language, according to the nationality of the plaintiff.

Their Majesties the KING and QUEEN have quitted the palace of Brussels for Lacken, but the Duke DE BRABANT, the Count DE FLANDERS, and the young Princess will remain at Brussels some time longer.

A private letter from Ilambwrgh of the 9th says, that there was still uncertainty as to the blockade. Three ships of war had appeared in the mouth of the Elbe, but one or more supposed to be Dutch. German vessels were still stopped. It was reported that the Swedes had promised to assist the Danes, and that the Swedish Government had intimated to that of Prussia, by its Envoy, that the entry of Prussian troops into the islands of Denmark Proper would be considered tantamount to a declaration of war. The Scandinavian spirit was aroused both in Sweden and Norway. POLAND. It wa3 rumoured in Berlin, on the 11th, that it had been arranged between Russia and Prussia that Poland should be erected into an independent kingdom, and that the young Duke of LEUCUTEN• BERG was to be the new King of POLAND. The authorities at Posen have prohibi:ed the sale or manufacture of scythes, and all persons are re quired to deliver up their arms to the commandant of the garrison forthwith. All the gates are strictly guarded, and only three of them are permitted to be opened. They are closed at eight in the evening and opened at six in the morning. The attack upon (inesin was fortunately unsuccessful, as a general massacre of the inhabitants was resolved upon. Some troops were hastily got together, and the insurgents repulsed with some loss. All the most respectable and influential Polish inhabitants have been seized and imprisoned, and among them STEFANSKI, who a short time since was proclaimed Dictator Gf Poland. It required a guard of thirty hussars to pro tect him from the fury of the people. TERMINATION OF THE CON FLICT IN POSEN. An Aide-de-Camp of General COLoMB, Command ing General in Posen, has arrived a t Berlin with the important intelligence of the complete defeat of the Polish insurgents, under 11lienosLAwsxt, on the afternoon of the 7th inst., and the surrender at discre• tion of the whole body. ITALY. LOMBARDY. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) An article of the Gazzetta di Genoa of the 29th ult. strikes us as worth quotation, from the manly and sensible tone in which the conduct and chances of the campaign are spoken of. " CHARLES ALBERT," it remarks, " deserves every praise for the courage with which during seven hours he has assisted, with peril of life, at the bombardment of Peschiera. This fortress, although not impregnable, presents grave difficulties on account of the width of the Alincio, which separates it from its besiegers, and the facility with which it may be relieved by the enemy from the line of the Tyrol. If matters really were as the Gazzetta di Milano reports them, the affair would soon be finished ; but all these phalanxes of volunteers seem like the figures of a merchant on the point of bankruptcy, which make a fair display in his ledger, but count for nothing in the cash-box. You would really laugh if you were with me, to see the strange and terrible-looking figures which meet us in every little village through which we pass—men and boys arrayed in the most grotesque style, and who easily transform themselves from patriots into bandits. I have met more than one carrying with him a brace of pistols, a dagger, a sabre, a bayonet, a musket, and a knife in the boot. But, instead of braving the fire of the enemy, these heroes prefer acting as guard of honour to the KING. Milan and many other popu lous cities have enjoyed already one month of liberty, and yet not a single well-ordered company of their citizens has been seen in the field. I do not speak, of course, of the Lombard Volunteers under ARCIONI and MaNana ; these are gallant youths, worthy of every praise, and actors in bold enter prises; but they are few in number, and only fit for the duty of sharp-shooters. I mean to say that, up to this moment, we have seen nothing, little or big, in the shape of a Lombard army. Perhaps I am wrong, but it seems to me that, instead of dis puting so hotly about forms of government, it would be better for our politicians to shoulder a musket and come and fight with us Whatever may be said to the contrary, the Germans are by no means cowards, or more disposed to fly than to fight. He ho maintains that they made slight resistance at Goito must have been as far from the place itself as truth is from falsehood. But for the courage of our sharp-shooters and of the Real Aovi battalion, we had lost the day. I tell you these things in order that you may not allow yourself to be so easily captivated by the flattering tales of certain bulletins, which travesty facts at the expense of truth and justice—l say of justice, because in no Gazette have I found adequate praise given to our soldiers, who, weary and weakened, placed themselves cheer fully under fire when summoned to do so, remaining thus for twenty-four and thirty-six hours together, without either bread or repose, as was the case at Borghetto, Mcnzambano, Goito, and Poswenzo." We are glad to see that the more recent Milanese bulletins are beginning to give evidence of something of the practical sense which pervades the above letter. That bearing date the 7th inst. may be summed up thus : "Every revolution, in its precipitous, but never brief, course, enters into various phases, each having its own grave and urgent necessity—each imposing upon the people its own particular duty. What is the necessity of the phase into which we have now entered ? " Let us not deceive ourselves. Austria is making every effort to recoves the Italian provinces. The EMPEROR is conciliating Hungary and exerting himself to gain popularity with the rest of the Germanic Confederacy. He has contracted a loan of thirty million florins with the bank, and he has dispatched Count HARTIG to RADETSLY, with direc tions to establish himself firmly between the Minnie and the Adige, and to turn all the forces he can against Venice, to recover it at any cost—the vessels of war lying at Pola having orders to support him. Hence the necessity of the present phase is—war. This war will be long, obstinat e , an d difficult, but m ust ultimately leave victory in our hands. War, therefore, first—politics afterwards." Count G. COLLEGNO, a man of approved skill and dauntless courage, both tried to the utmost in the later campaigns of N APOLEON and in the Greek war of liberation, has been placed at the head of military affairs by the Pt °visional Governmei,t. Col"ndL , I 'RAPt , r,ll has tweli zice;editt-1 l'rencti Republic as political agent for Lombardy. The column of Free Corps (Corpi Franchi), under 611 ARCIONT, fell in, about a fortnight ago. with 600 Auitrians at the Ponte della Sarca (Tyrol), and after a brief contest, drove them back into Toblino, with a lois of twenty men. This place of refuge Was speedily surrounded, and the necessity of its sur render seemed imminent, when a large party of Aus' trians came up to relieve it, and the volunteers, finding themselves outnumbered, were compelled to retire✓, which they did in good order, and without less.
