Italy is still in a state 0 1 perturbation, nor can the continued effervescence of political opinion in that peninsula he any matter of astonishment under existing circumstances. The insurrection which has just broken out at Leghorn is only a local and iso lated evidence of an anxiety which struggles unseen against the loyalty of the whole Italian population. It is simply a conviction of the reality of this under current which can explain the otherwise inexplicable fact that the Duchy of Tuscany has of all the inde pendent principalities been the scene of such a com motion. For without this diseased sensitiveness on the part of the Italians, without this latent irritabi lity, or rather, we should say, this exaggerated pre disposition to set all authority at defiance, the sub jects of the Archduke LEOPOLD would most unques tionably have been the very last men in the whole of the Roman peninsula to rise against the constituted representatives of their SOVEREIGN. The truth is— and there is no possibility of blinking the matter, however much the diplomatists of France, England, and Austria may be solicitous to do so, in the hope of affording themselves leisure for a gradual negotia tion of peace between the belligerents—the people not only of Lombardy, Venice, and Piedmont are chafing under their recent disasters, but their anguish has awakened a sympathetic pang among the Luc chese, the Modenese, the Tuscans, the Romans, and even among the more remote and enervated Neapo litans. We question very much whether the Italians can restrain themselves from a renewal of the attack until such time as the Plenipotentiaries from London and Paris can arrange matters to the ' satisfaction of the Cabinets of Turin and Vienna. It must be borne in recollection that the inhabitants of the Roman peninsula are in a position the least likely of any to admit of a very speedy pacification. Scarcely thirteen months have elapsed since they were summoned by a coincidence of extraordinary events to a revival of their ancient nationality, and to a reclamation of those civil and municipal rights which had been filched from their possession by a series of adventurers, and confirmed by a despotism of many centuries duration. We are aware that among those whose conservative predilec tions are appalled by the late catastrophes of royalty upon the continent it has become the fashion to affect a silly derision for what they call the democratic cant about fraternization and nationalities. If it were, as these quibblers rep resent it to be, a mere squabble about phrases, ter v into B n , w e would at once waive the question, and ever, th a full appreciation of their how ridicule. As it is, are the symbols so far from being mere cant and claptrap , areimmediately of our nati ona l great principles upon of those t wo which th e e whole g reatness and prosperit y The disposition to fraternize nothing m ore t h an dependent. th a t devotion to constitutional liberty h a ppily and conspicuously evidenced on which wa s so theloth of the love last April in this very metropolis ; while of nationality is sim p l y the ins p ira tion of patriotism, And it is again st these ennoblin g p rin ciples, t se principles of concord and of patriotism, w hi ch are so cherished within the circumference o f the British islands, that the lovers of continental tyranny are striving to provoke the scorn of satire and the sneer of ridicule ! It is against the efforts, the glorious and sublime efforts, which are being made simultaneously by the Germans and Italians to en graft these two principles upon their political consti tutions that the sarcasms of English Toryism are directed—as if there were anjthing grotesque in the struggles of a great people to vindicate their inde pendence, as if there were anything bizarre in the agonies of a revolution, as if the emancipation of a hundred millions of the human race were a fitting subject for frivolous gibes and laughter ! That our estimate of the present disposition of the Italians is, to say the least of it, both probable and judicious, has been demonstrated, we think, with suf ficient emphasis by the late explosion of popular rage in Leghorn. The entire narrative of the insurrection is demonstrative of the suppressed passions of a mul titude driven almost to distraction by a conscious ness of the perilous position of their country. A little incident of comparative insignificance was the signal for the outbreak—such an incident as would, under any other circumstances, have been insufficient to elicit a blow from the most quarrelsome whisky-bibber in the precincts of Donny brook. A proclamation forbidding the assem bly of political clubs had been placarded on the walls of Leghorn during the evening of the 2d instant—one of these proclamations was torn down by a young man—his hand was wounded by a policeman—the people rose, and a fight ensued be tween the constabulary and the populace. According to the statements contained in the Genoa Gazette, the soldiers, on being called out, fraternized with the multitude, the Governor and several detachments were driven back into the citadel, and the constituted authorities were immediately replaced by the formation of a Provisional Government. Now, making every reasonable allowance for the force of the mere tendency towards imitation, we maintain that no such outburst as the one here mentioned would have been possible in a well-regulated principality like Tuscany, unless the political ardour of the population had been heated to an almost unendurable frenzy by the sense of national peril and tribulation. More peculiarly, perhaps, than any other, the Government of the Archduke LEOPOLD may be designated a paternal Government, a Government which re cognizes the wants of the age, and mitigates I the sufferings of the multitude, a Govern ment which dedicates its energies to the diffusion of knowledge, to the systematising of education, to the encouragement of agriculture, to the facilitation of mercantile enterprise, to the reformation of the criminal, the incitement of industry, the protection of property, and the solid improvement of the various institutions of the Duchy. Nothing, therefore, can account for the insurrection of the people of Leghorn, but that irritability of disposition which has been excited among all classes of Italians by the suc cessful advance of RIDETZICT. Ever since CIIARLES ALBERT was compelled to abandon the line of the Mincio, to retreat to the Oglio, to the Adda, to the Lambro, to the Olona, and at last to the banks of the Ticino, the people of the Roman peninsula have chafed under the renewed pressure of Austria, they have been maddened by the discomfiture of the Piedmontese, they have yearned with:their whole heart, with their whole soul, and with their whole strength, to exhaust upon the ranks of the German army the vengeance which has been long accumulated in their bosoms. These considerations should stimulate to a certain degree of activity the negotiations of peace in Lom bardy—not only from a solicitude to promote the happiness of the Italians, but from an anxiety also to prevent a deplorable and useless effusion of blood in that illustrious peninsula. We resume the consideration of the Report of the Select Committee appointed by the House of Com mons to consider the best means of promoting the dispatch of public business, to which we directed the attention of our readers on Saturday. What is the duty of the House of Commons, and how may that duty be best performed ? This is a question which just now particularly excites public attention. A session of very unusual length has just drawn to its close. Its long duration is the theme of general remark, while the amount of public business dispatched during its continuance is the sub ject of a very close and criticising scrutiny. At this most opportune moment, the Committee have pub lished the result of their deliberations. The report of the said Committee is full of interest, and worthy of very general attention. The number of Committees, public and private, which have been sitting during the session, undeniably affords a most convincing refutation to any charges impugning the industry of the Members of the House of Commons. During the last session it appears there have been forty-four public Committees, twenty-eight election Committees, fourteen groups on railway Bills, seventeen groups on private Bills, and one hundred and twelve other Committees on private Bills. The Committee on commercial distress sat thirty-nine days, that on sugar and coffee planting thirty-nine days ; the Com mittee on the navy and army expenditure sat forty days, and that on the miscellaneous estimates thirty seven days. As far as Committee business is con cerned our representatives cannot very justly be ac cused of idleness. " But," says the report, " this great amount of Committee business, and the heavy demand it makes on the time of Members, must be borne in mind in considering the course of public business in the House itself. The thin at tendance in the House from the hours of seven to ten o'clock, necessary in some degree from the exhaustion of the morning labours, interferes is an important manner with the progress of the debates." This is an inconvenience for which it is not very easy to find a remedy. The Committee suggests none. " The characteristic of the present session," so proceeds the report, " has been the number of im portant subjects under discussion at the same time, and adjourned debates on all of them. This inter mingling of debates, adjourned one over the head of the other, has led to confusion, deadening the interest in every subject, and prejudicing the quality of the de bates on all." Most assuredly it has, and this pernicious practice has in a great measure added to the length , and detracted from the interest, of the recent session. The Committee, fully impressed with the practical evils of this custom, have especially enumerated among their " recommendations," one to the effect, " that in the case of an adjourned debate, it would be of advantage that the debate should be resumed on the next sitting day, and should have precedence over all other business." At the same time they admit that this regulation may be advisedly varied according to circumstances. The recommendations of the Com mittee are, however, few in number and of little material significance. The subject of their investigations was one of extreme delicacy and difficulty, the grievances which it was proposed to remedy, cannot well be amended by fixed rules. " It is not so much on any new rules, especially restrictive rules," says the report, " that your Committee would desire to rely for the prompt and efficient dispatch of business by the House. The increasing business calls for in creased consideration on the part of Members in the exercise of their individual privileges. Your Com mittee would desire to rely on the good feeling of the House, and on the forbearance of its Members." This is assuredly the best recommendation which the Committee could :possibly have framed. Forbear ance and consideration on the part of individual Members would be worth infinitely more than all the rules and regulations which could pos sibly be devised. As it now is, any individual Mem ber of the House, incited by personal vanity or pri vate animosity, may take up the time of the 'louse, and materially delay the passing of matters of grave importance. But this is an evil which no laws can remedy without leading the way to greater evils. The means adopted in one instance to prevent an abuse of senatorial privileges might be made use of on another occasion to retrench those privileges them selves. The Committee, aware of this danger, proposed no other remedy to a practice the evil effects of which they deplored than an appeal to the individual Mem bers of the House of Commons. In that appeal the constituents of those Members would, we are assured, most cordially concur. Those constituents, and the constituents of every individual Member, if examined before the Committee, would have unanimously de clared that they had chosen their Parliamentary re presentatives in the hope and expectation that those representatives would devote their attention to the interests of their electors, and of the community at Their votes had not be en i n scribed in the large. i polling-books in order that Mr. A might distin guish himself as a showy rhetorician, or that Mr. B. mi g ht h ave an opportunity of giving frequent vent be h i e s n ed hum t o o test ur to thth' or their utmost Messrs.utmo s t the C. limits and o f D. should gentlemanly forbearance and popular endurance. THE SUN, LONDON, For none of these purposes are senators admitted into the arena of St. Stephen's. They assemble there as the representatives of a great and free people to deli berate on matters which nearly concern the fortunes, liberties, and sometimes lives of millions. The gravity of their responsibilities would be sufficient, one might imagine, to impress every individual representative with a sense of the duties of his position. Unhappily it is not always so. The House of Commons is occasionally, if not frequently, the witness of most unsenatorial proceedings. To these proceedings, of which we have of late had a few samples, it is not our purpose more immediately to refer. We leave them to the oblivion they well de serve, and content ourselves with joining most cor dially in the aspirations of the Committee, that the increased business of the House of Commons may be accompanied by increased consideration on the part of individual Members. We shall take another op portunity of considering the remainder of the Report. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris Papers of Saturday and yesterday. They all comment on the fact of the acceptance by Austria of the Anglo. Gallic mediation. According to the Democratie Pacifique that acceptance was brought about in the following manner :—" A week ago," says the Democratic Pacifique, " Vienna bad refused the mediation. The French Cabinet then inquired from the English ambassador if he had in structions I shall apply for some.' We have not time to wait. We send the following note to Austria : —" If in 48 hours the mediation is not accepted the French troops shall land at Venice." ' During the time that the note was going to Vienna, preparations for embarking took place at Toulon and Marseilles. The reply was sent without delay, being an accept ance." The same journal has the following as to the prin ciples to be adopted by France as the basis of the settlement of the Italian question : "M. Bastide has announced that Austria accepts the mediation. We are glad of this result, if it can conci liate the maintenance of peace with the success of the Italian cause. But let the French Government take care, it assumes an immense responsibility. France has engaged to obtain the freedom of Italy, of all Italy that rose at our voice ; not only of Lombardy, but also the little duchies, and above all of Venice, who the first put trust in the words of the manifesto which the revolution, all warm from the barricades, flung across Europe. The question is, therefore, badly placed by the mere fact of the mediation. Charles Albert is only very indirectly a party in the question. He was the auxiliary of the Milanese insurrection which he betrayed at a later period, and nothing more. The struggle is not between Charles Albert and Austria, it is between insurgent Italy and her oppressors ; it is not a difference of one monar chy with another, it is a question of nationality." We read in the Courrier Francais— " We said this morning, and we repeat it now, that this is a success for our Republican Government. But let it not slumber ! It will not be entitled to congratu late itself, it will not have a right to complete praise, until all Italy be freed from the Austrian yoke." The Siecle says— " We will not examine if, as M. Bastide said, the con clusion of this first period of the negotiations must have for effect to assure more and more to the Republic the high rank which belongs to it in the sovereign councils of Europe. What is true, in our opinion, is, that in that region the Republic will have the place which it may choose to make itself by the regular, moderate, and powerful organisation which it may be able to give itself in the interior. When it shall have assembled and disci plined its forces in the interior, no one will contest it abroad the rank to which it is entitled—it will display itself with the radient éclat of the r6le which General Bonaparte assigned it at the treaty of Campo-Formio. A will-o'-the-wisp which we regret to have seen glitter at the end of the declaration of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, is the perspective which he opens of an early reduction in the public charges, in consequence of the more and more probable maintenance of peace. This hope has the same value as the engagement which was on Thursday inconsiderately inscribed in the preamble of the Constitution. We do not like illusions either in manifestos of the tribune or in political programmes. The last Government made disarming the motto of its banner from 1831; every year that luminous point shone in the speeches of the Crown, as the protest in favour of Poland in the addresses of the Chamber. This chimera was vainly pursued during eighteen years. Is it the Republic that will realise it ? We wish it from the bottom of our heart. In any case there would be greater merit in effecting it than prudence in an nouncing it." The Assembles National, the organ of the old GUIZOT Rump, and the all but avowed advocate of an ORLEANS restoration, affects to sneer at the suc cess of the foreign policy of the Republic, and pooh pooh's the acceptance by Austria of French mediation. Before, however, the organs of M. GUIZOT indulge in any sneers at the foreign policy of the Republic, it would be well that they should reco Ilect the ridi culous attitude which Austria compelled monarchical France to assume in the affair of the Sonderbund, and contrast that with the present conduct of that same Austria in accepting the mediation of Republican France. On Friday, the report from the Committee de Comptabilite on the proposition relative to the in demnity to the President of the National Assembly was distributed to the members. The Committee recommends that a supplementary sum of 6,000 fr. a month shall be allowed to the President, in order to enable him to give grand fetes, which, like those already given, encourage trade, and are important in a political point of ♦iew, by enabling men of a ll parties to meet, and by showing that calm and security exist. The Marquis DE BRIGNOLE, Ambassador Extraors dinary of Sardinia, has remitted to General CATAIG• Nac the reply of the King of SARDINIA to the c redentials of M. Sant DE Bois LB COMTE, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of the French Republic at Turin. The Marquis RIDOLVI, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Tuscany in England, who has been charged with a special mission to the French Republic, has been presented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs to General CAvAIGNAC. M. J. DB MoacoLrra has remitted to the Minister of Foreign Affairs letters accrediting him as Charge d'Affaires of the State of Nicaragua. The following is the weekly report of the Prefect of Police on the state of Paris : emotion,st elapsedwit h h a o Ci ti beense n fertile r — ti ' l . r e h i en happyten results. ich T h o v an e but little reflection, has succeeded a most p erfect Confidence has revived on all points. A s l ow but inealra* testible progress has beea manifest in all th e branches een. industry. The season still induces litany famili es t o re main in the country, but they will soon ret urn to the capital, bringing with them their accustomed h a bi ts of luxury and movement. How then can any fears for the future be entertained in the presence of so many causes of prosperity! Has Paris ever, at any period, under a n y government, offered more respect to persons, more security for property? Every event brings with it a now guarantee for the consolidation of our young Republic. A brilliant review assembled on Sund a y last, the population, the National Guard, and the army, all of whom were of one heart, and with one voice enthusiastically acclaimed the Republic, and hailed with sympathy the wort h y ch ief of the Govern ment. Another more recent and significant act has strengthened the hopes of the friends of Liberty. The National Assembly, at its sitting of yesterday, decreed by a unanimous vote that at the head of the Constitu tion there shall be written—The French Republic is Democratic, one and indivisible 1 This unanimity of the delegates of the people is an irrefragable proof of their energetic and free determination to persevere in and fe cundate the work of the glorious Revolution of Febru ary. Nothing equivocal therefore can any longer re main. The impatience of some, and the concealed animosity of others, would be equally fatal to the Re public and society. Pretexts would not justify inten tions, and all the world would be ready to repel a hypocritical and disloyal aggression. In spite of the comments exci t ed by fear upon the state of the Savings' Bank, the rec e ipt s o f t h e past wee k s h ow an incontes tible improvement. The amount of the deposits, which, on August 27th, was 34,600 f., was on S eptem b er 3d a nd 4th, 42,950 f., paid in by 474 depositors, of whom 96 were new. The amount of the reim bursements at the Mont-de-Piite, f rom A ugust 23d e September 4th, was 36,857 f., and of th e loans only of quently the repayments, instead b eing * less than the advances, as, during the preceding weeks, ar exceed ed them by 2,o33f.—Orders from the d e p artments 'the manufactories of articles of luxury parti c i pate e a rr i v i ng. in this resurrection ; of which the best pr oo f I can give the following table, which has been sub m i ttee l v t e o y ou by the inspector of the office of guarant ees at the Mint of Paris. The goldsmiths' work ord ere d and finished during the last five months produced the following re ceipts (1) : April 9,000 f., May 11,000 f., June 17,000 f., July 19,000 f., August 36,141 f. These figures are more eloquent than words. New buildings, which had, for a: long time , been languishing, have resumed their activity. Several have been commenced, and th e city of Paris is preparing for additional constructions, i which will augment the mprovement already re alised. The receipts fo r the Dro i ts de Petite Voirie may be considered as one of the indi cations of activity, more or less great, of the construc tions carried on in Paris. The amoun t of these receipts had considerably diminished during the months which immediately followed the revolution, but have shown a marked increase in July and August. The number of permissions granted, which fell in the month of April to 46, was in May 87, became in July 190, and in August 2sl. The number off workmen who were driven by die- , MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER ll , 1848. tress into furnished lodging-houses is considerably re.. ducal, and their situation become less precarious. In our pokseding bulletin their number was 31,480, but it is reduced to 27,308; 17.977 are at work; 9,331 are un employed. Calm has succeeded to the agitations which seemed, for a moment, to threaten the security of the Re public. There arrived in Paris during the last week 6,381 Frenchmen and 743 foreigners. Within the same space of time there have been granted only 2,301 passports to French citizens, and 819 to foreigners; 583 were gra tuitous. The prisons contain nearly the same number of ordinary prisoners; but have only 4,058 accuse d o f taking part in the insurrection of June; 2,909 having been discharged since my first bulletin. From the 26th of August to the sth of September, there were only nine suicides. The attempts upon property, during the same period, amounted to twenty, and the number of petty thefts to eight per day upon an average. Only one at tack upon the person has been signali se d, an d t h e resu l t of this was a very slight wound. The total number of v i c ti ms of the days of June at this time amounts to 1,445. From the Bth of August to the 3d of September, three convoys were sent off to Havre with p r i soners convicted of taking part in the insurrection of June, amounting to 1,005. The prisons and hospitals were never in a more healthy state. The receipts of the theatres and public balls are progressing satisfactorily. From the 28th of August to the 3d of September these receipts amounted to 79,604 f. 97c. " Dated Sept. 8. " DUCOUX." The experiment of a "Ten Hours Bill" for adults has completely failed in France, and the Assembly has been obliged to repeal the famous decree of Louis BLANC of the 2d March. The new law which was passed by the Assembly on Saturday fixes the hours of labour at twelve under ordinary circumstances, but allows the Government, in certain exceptional cases, to grant permission for labour,to;be pursued for more than twelve consecutive hours. It was pro posed to allow workmen to work over time for extra wages, but this proposition was rejected, as was a proposition made by the Abbe &noun for compelling abstinence from all labour on the Sunday. M. DE CORMENIN has resigned his office of President of the Committee on the Constitution, and has retired from the Committee altogether, in consequence of a serious difference with his col leagues, arising from the following circumstance : As soon as the report of the Committee on the Con stitution was presented to the National Assembly, M. DE CORSIEMN, under his pseudomyne of " Timon," published a pamphlet, in which, as is his wont, he took infinite credit to himself and lampooned the whole of his colleagues. The Committee met on Friday for the first time since the publication of the pamphlet, and M. DuriN attacked M. DE CORMENIN with the bitterest sarcasm; he was followed by M. CORDON, an out:Prier, but a man of great talent, who has already created for himself a position in the Assembly, and who declared that he would resign, as his dignity would no longer permit him to remain a member of a Committee of which M. DE CORMENIN was President. M. ARMAND MARRAST at once declared that every member of the Committee partook of the sentiments of M. CORDON ; hereupon M. DE CORMENIN tendered his resignation, which was immediately accepted. There are upwards of fifty candidates for the three vacancies in the representation of Paris. The Con stitutionnel supports the claims of the Ministerial candidates, MM. ROGER (du Nord), EDMOND ADAM, and ACHILLE FOULDE. The candidateship of LOUIS BONAPARTE occasions considerable uneasiness to the Government. On this subject the Reforme says— " A journal, which it is said derives its information from official sources, has published the following:— • Prince Louis Napoleon is brought forward as a candi dote for the Assembly at Paris, and in two departments at the same time. To those men to whom Providence has given the too rare blessing of good sense a candi dateship of Louis Napoleon would present nothing of a serious character. That gentleman has already given a proof of his talents. The folly of his first attempt could only bo equalled by that of his second. The pre-. tension of Louis Bonaparte not existing by itself, it is simply necessary to inquire at present under what mask it is brought forward. It will not be difficult for us to point it out, and we shall do it. Louis Blanc, since his arrival i❑ London, is said to be constantly with Louis Napoleon, and has succeeded in exciting him to action. It is said that he has written to all the clubs in which he has friends remaining,. and that in consequence the name of Louis Napoleon is to be substituted on all the lists for that of M. Kersausie. These relations may serve to form a definitive judgment of the two men. Louis Blanc would attain his purpose by any means, and Louis Bonaparte would humbly resign himself to serve as a pretence for no matter whom.' "As the journal which gives the above has been hitherto remarkable for its reserve and for its judgment; if it is, as report says, in communication with the Go vernment, the accusation which it makes is grave, and may lead to a serious discussion. " Louis Blanc, who has left the country to escape a preventive imprisonment, Louis Blanc, accusid, pro scribed, is placed in a situation which ought to be sacred to every man of honour. It is, therefore, impossible, but there must be some proofs of his co-operation, and we regret that the letters have not been published, which de nounce, in our opinion, a quasi -complicity against the Republic. " We do not, in fact, believe in the powerlessness of the Bonapartist intrigue, and the ambition of Louis Napoleon, although he has twice fallen into ridicule, and his half-drowned fortune appears to us more redoubtable than ever. " Let facts be studied—let the fears, the fatigues, the disorder, and the discouragement of public opinion be considered—let us regard, on the side of those fatal barricades, where on one side and the other so many energetic citiaens have fallen—let the decimated fauxburgs, unarmed and plunged in mourning, be exa mined, and it will be understood that the wounded re volution has not the strength of its first days; that with the blood it has lost the vigour of its enthusiasm. Be tween misery and despair there is, therefore, a place far pretenders, and since the knights of the lily themselves dare to raise again their banner, so often proscribed and torn, it would be wrong to regard as madness the chances of a standard which reflects our former glories. Enemies should not be despised, for it is the means of allowing them to strengthen themselves, and it is better to speak the whole truth than to slumber in a fatal op timism. ...._. " The general situation of affairs is changed. The people we well know are deeply devoted to the Republic; but misery and balls have crushed them, and the revolu tion is weakened. The Republican bourgeoisie still love rights and liberty, but as its fortune has been compro mised, it is now in doubt; it no longer feels the religion of the law or civic pride. " This is the naked truth; add to those general condi tions certain facts which are highly significative. Look at the contract which has been entered into between the Clubs of the Institute and of the Rue de Portier. M. Malleville, named vice-president in a Republican assem bly, is a proof that the old dynastic intrigues are again rising, and already taste of power. Is not M. Malleville the lieutenant of M. Thiers, who is to save our finances, and is not this the same M. Thiers who was, ten years since, the chief Minister selected by the Princ• of Bou logne for the Napoleon combination? " Events are therefore favourable; men are ready; the Republic has been struck in its press, its army, and in its men; the comes the great citizen who declares that he this time accepts the suffrages of his partizans, and it will be soon seen what will remain of the young Republic. " The election of Louis Bonaparte would be, therefore, a raisfortune for the new Government, for it would faci litate an intrigue under his name, and strengthen our present calamities. _ _ "We look at things without passion and without anger, and if the National Assembly, which has just voted the unanimity of the democratic republic, has really and truly at heart to defend its work, and not to undo it, it must know how to take a decisive step, and must raise itself to the height of the great policy of public safety. " What it has done with so much rigour against mis guided workmen gives it but too much right to decree revolutionarily, although no crime has been committed, a necessity for temporary exile. "If it does not know how to defend the republic on this occasion it will prove that its unanimous adhesion was not serious, and that it is invaded by the spirit of former days. " As to the participation of Louis Blanc in the new attempt which is to be made, we defer our judgment until it shall have been officially stated. It is neces sary to have serious proofs when a man iiiaccused who has given so many pledges to the cause of the people and of the revolution, and we bare already heard so many stories and fables recited that we cannot come to a conclusion against a friend without a full certitude of facts." Count Moui i who has avowed himself a partisan of the Regen cy o f the D uc h ess o f O am mis, has started for Bordeaux, where the Legitimatists have started M. RAvxz, a former President of the Cham ber of Deputies in the time of Cita&Las X. The hostile attitude assumed by Germany, as tes tified by the vote of the German Parliament on the armistice with Denmark, has occasioned considerable uneasiness in Paris. The array of the Alps will, it is said, not be dissolved, but the troops will be sta tioned at Colmar, Besancon, and Strasburg. General Liatoluctzsie has announced that it is the intention of the Government to present to the Assem bly a project of l aw revo king the decree w hich pre vents the tran s p or t a ti on o f the insurgents to Algeria. The electio ns f or t h e C 3 uncil-General , which are taking pla ce i n C ors i ca , says the Constitutionnel, have occasioned dreadful disturbances. At Orezza, a little village not far from Bastia, not less than fifty persons, a letter says, were killed. At Vescovato, also, there were scenes of disorder ; one man was killed and four wounded. On August 31st, Bastia enjoyed the most perfect tranquillity. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANQE, SSZT. 9. Dutch Attai3h, SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 4th have been received. They contain no news. GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES. FRANKFORT. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, of the 6th, contains the following in its official part :—" In consequence of the resolution taken by the National Assembly in the sitting of yesterday, tending to sus pend military and other measures necessary for the execution of the armistice which was concluded at Malmore on the 26th August, the President of the Council of Ministers, all the Ministers of the Empire, and all the Under-Secretaries, have given in their re signation, which have been accepted by his Imperial Highness the Archduke JOHN. His Imperial High ness has charged M. DAULMANN, member of the Na tional Assembly, to compose a new Ministry." The following is given in a Frankfort journal as the terms of the resolution of the Archduke JOHN relative to the affair of the duchies of Schleswig•Hol stein, which is dated the 7th August : " The Prussian Plenipotentiary, the Minister of State Camphausen, having set forth to me the state of the ne gotiations on an armistice between the German and Danish forces, and especially the motives which render the conclusion of an armistice desirable by the Prussian Government, which has, up to this day, directed the ne gotiations in the name of Germany—viz., by the advice of my Ministry of the empire, I have resolved to au thorise the Prussian Government to conclude an armis tice with Denmark in the name of the Central Provi sional Government, taking for basis the project as set tled in the conference of Bellevue on the 19th July, sub ject to the following modiflcati , ns, destined to serve as an explanation of the basis of the said project, which must be recognised by the Danish Government: -Ist, The persons to be chosen to form a new common Govern ment for the duchies of Schleswig-Holstein shall, even before the conclusion of the armistice, be designated by the contracting parties in such a manner as to afford a guarantee of the permanence and efficiency of the new Government; 2d, Under the denomination of the ex isting laws and ordinances must be expressly comprised those published up to the conclusion of the armistice; 3d, The troops shall remain in the duchies under the orders of the German generals. (Signed) " ARCHDUKE JOHN." PRUSSIA. The Prussian Ministry had declared that unless they succeeded in defeating STEIN'S amendment on the Army Regulation Bill, they would resign. That amendment has been carried in the Assembly by a majority of 67, and the Bill now stands thus : " The Assmbly resolves to require the War Minister to issue orders to the army, commanding officers not only to avoid conflicts with civilians, but by approach ment and union with their fellow-citizens, to show that they honestly and cordially participate in the working out of a constitutional national condition." To this was added the following amendment:— " Those officers whose political convictions do not ac cord with the above shall, as a point of honour, be made to retire from the army ." The 'Ministers immediately after the division pro ceeded to Potsdam, to place their resignation in the hands of the KING. This vote is considered as a great triumph by the Democratic party. From the 3d to 4th September 39 new cases of cholera occurred at Berlin, and from the 4th to the sth there were 64. The cholera has also broken out at Spandau. HOLLAND. TUE HAGUE, SEPT. 9.—The first Chamber of the States-General has this day terminated its discussion on the revision of the fundamental law ; thus by the vote of the six last projects of law the work of our con stitutional institutions is adopted in its entire extent. It is expected that both the Chambers will be con voked on an early day, to sanction the new constitu tion of our country. The votes for the six projects were -Ist. Of the kingdom of the people, by 20 votes against 6. 2d. Of the King-14 against 12. 3d. Of the States-Gene r al. 4th. Of the Provincial States, Stc.-23 against 3. sth. Of justice—unanimously. 6th. Of religion and public instruction-22 against 4. HUNGARY AND CROATIA. FIUME, AUG. 31.—This day Fiume has been taken by the Bannat in the name of the KING and the BANN of Croatia, after which the soldiers at once took pos session of the garrisons and guardhouses. Public order was not interrupted one instant. The National Guard has dissolved itself. The Governor and several other functionaries are preparing to take their depar ture. All the authorities, with the exception of the Government, have retained their places. The Vice- Palatine (vice GESPAN) of Agram, JOSEPH BUNTEVACZ, has issued an address to the inha bitants of the free city of Fiume and its environs, assuring them that he came, not as an enemy, but a friend, to protect their lives and property in the present vacillating security of their fatherland. In the name of the KING and the BANN, he guaran tees to them the privileges of a free constitution, with the maintenance of the Italian language, and ex horts them to pursue their avocations in peace and order under the municipal authorities, who had been daily instructed by him. SCHLES WIG-HOLSTEIN. ALTONA, SEPT. 6.—lt is stated that two of the persons appointed to form the new Provisional Go vernment have consented to undertake that burden, but have declared to Count MOLTKE that they could not de so under his presidency, as he did not possess the confidence of the people. It is expected that the King of DENMARK will appoint some Schleswig-Holsteiner, some suppose Count BAUDISSEN-BORSTEL, to form the Provisional Government, or else that the central power will delegate a commission for the administra tion of Schleswig-Holstein. The Assembly hope to conclude the debate on the new Constitution on Friday, and proceed to the vote, on the adoption of the whole fundamental law. KIEL, SEPT. s.—The resolution of the Assembly of the States has caused general satisfaction and rejoicing. The official dispatches for the raising of the blockade was received on Sunday by the Galathea, which attempted to enter the harbour without hoisting the flag of truce, and was saluted by several resolute shots from the harbour battery. The resolutions adopted by the Kiel Assembly are— " 1. W. pledge ourselves not to pay any duties im posed upon us which are not authorised by the Assem bly of the States. " 2. We pledge ourselves to resist, by force of arms, any opposed power which shall attempt to compel us to pay the same. " 3. We pledge ourselves to use our utmost exertions to obtain the co-operation of all the people in the measure." FLENSBURG, SEPT. s.—After the Oldenburg and Hanseatic troops had marched to-day to the south, General WRANGEL arrived with about 8,000 Prus sians, who will leave tomorrow, Great excitement prevails here respecting the armistice, and conflicts more severe than any we have yet had must be expected. SCHLESWIG, SEPT. 2.—A meeting of 7,000 to 8,000 burghers took place to-day, who passed the following resolutions, to be laid before the Schleswig-Holstain Assembly, as the expression of the earnest desire— ,. 1. That the Schleswig-Holstein Assembly should declare itself permanent. 2. That they should, with as little delay as possible, adopt the project of the constitution; and 3. Not to sanction the dissolution of the Provisional Government before the establishment of peace." NORWAY AND SWEDEN. CHRISTIANIA, AUG. 26.—The dissolution of the Storthing took place to-day. The Stadtholder read the KING'S Speech, which concludes by his MAJESTY expressing his regret that his coronation and that of the QUERN must be postponed, in consequence of the present political relations of Europe. POLAND. A letter from Posen of the 31st ult., quoted by the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, says :—" On the 29th, the town of Schmiegel became the theatre of a conflict between a party of Poles and another of Germans. This town lies seven miles from hence on the high road to Breslau. On that day the recruit ment was to take place; but about 100 young Poles came with whips, and a riot ensued which the sub prefect vainly endeavoured to put a stop to. The civic guard was called out, but as the Poles were still ob stinate, a detachment of the Landwehr was brought up, but even then the disturbance was not quelled without recourse being had to swords and bayonets. No one, however, :was wounded ; but the ringLader of the rioters was arrested." ITALY. PIEDMONT. A letter from Turin, of the 4th, quoted by the National Savoisien, says—" The important news of the day is the almost certitude that a royal decree, dissolving the Chambers, will be issued to-day or to-morrow. It is added that the new elections will commence on the 20th, and that the Chambers will meet on October 1. A report was current this morn ing that the political club will go to the Ministry and protest against this decree, as likely to create serious disturbances among the people. According to the information I have received on the subject of Pt'. DE Bon, who has been the principal cause of the dis turbances at Genoa, I am inclined to believe that the measure taken with regard to him by the Government was occasioned by the following circumstance : It was known that DE Boni was labouring to excite the Genoese to proclaim the Re public, and that he was named president of a club (precisely that which would not unite with the Na tional Club), which was entirely composed of Re publicans, and whose only object was the establish ment of a republic at Genoa. It is added that there were but very few Genoese in the club, nearly all the members being foreigners. A letter from a friend assures me that the people have wished for nothing more than to protest against his expulsion." The Constituzionale Subalpino of Turin, of the sth, states that the KING is at Alexandria, actively en gaged in visiting and completing the defences of the town. He contemplates erecting some works on the plain of Marengo. The following is the official state ment of the dead and wounded :—Died on the field of battle, and in consequence of amputation, 2,000 men ; wounded, 1,500 ; missing, 500. Sick of the fever at the time of the retreat, 12,000. Total, 16,000 men hors de combat. The Democrazia Italiana of Turin publishes an address of the Circolo Nazionale of Turin to the President of the National Assembly of France, in voking the intervention of that Power in the affairs of Italy. The Opinione of Turin, of the sth, denies the statement of the Augsburg Gazette, concerning th e negotiations said to have been opened by Austria directly with CHARLES ALBERT. The English and French Ambassadors at Vienna, on receiving an answer to that effect from the Austrian Government, immediately sent couriers to their colleagues at Turin, to know the truth. The latter received the most explicit denegation both from the Turin Mi nistry and the ICING. Marshal RIDETZICY had indeed proposed to treat with his MAJESTY, but re ceived for answer that Sardinia, having accepted the Anglo-French mediation, the Ambassadors of those Powers alone could negotiate with him. The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa, of the 4th, announces that some arrests have been made in that city, and particularly mentions that of a priest Ricci and Baron MASSA. General MA/MORA, commanding the vanguard of the army of CHARLES ALBERT, and his two Commis sioners for the Duchies of Parma and Placentia, have published in the Piedneontese Gazette, a protest against a proclamation of Duke CHARLES of BOUR• Box, published by order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian forces, in which he asserts his claims to the duchies. The persons signing the protest declare that the duchies belong to the King of SARDINIA by the free and positive will of the inhabitants, and that there is nothing in the armistice to authorise the Austrians to exercise any such right as to territory. VENICE. The renice Gazette of the 29th contains a procla mation by General Rizzaitra to the inhabitants of Chioggia, announcing to them his nomination by the Provisional Government to the post of Commander of that important place, and encouraging them to resist, since Venice and Chioggia together form an impregnable fortress. " Venice," says the procla mation, "is the head, and Chioggia the heart of this part of free and independent Italy." The tone of the Venice papers in general is that of confidence in ulti mate success. TUSCANY. INSURRECTION AT LEGHORN.-DEFEAT OF THE TROOPS. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 6th states that Leghorn was the scene of a new insurrection on the 3d. The decrees closing the clubs, and prohibiting tumultuous crowds, besides the orders for the arrest of several persons, emanating from the extraordinary Commissioner CIPRIANI, were the signal for it. The Government bills were torn down from the walls ; the people rushed into the square, and invaded the Governor's palace. The troops appeared, and fired in the air ; the people returned it by killing and wound ing several ; artillery was then drawn up and swept the Strada, but was ultimately repulsed by a violent fusilade. The cavalry were also repulsed. The troops retired with the Governor to the fortress. The military lost 60 men killed, other accounts say 120 ; and add that a part of the military laid down their arms and fraternized with the people, who were preparing to attack the fortress. A Provisional Government was immediately formed. TURKEY AND GREECE. By the Levant mail we have received Constanti nople journals to the 24th ult., and Athens to the 27th. The former state that the Government steamer, the Medjidia, had left for Rhodes, where it was to be placed at the disposal of Inasuat PACIIA, son of M. HEMET A Li, who was about to proceed to Constanti nople with MAZLOUM BEY, Minister of Justice to the Sultan, on a mission at Alexandria. The Athens journals, like those of Constantinople, contain no intelligence of political interest. The latest ac counts of the cholera at Constantinople show that it was sensibly declining. At Trebisonde the disease had also greatly declined. At Smyrna it was raging with great violence, and for some time had made fifty or sixty victims a day. More than 30,000 persons had quitted the city, which presented a most desolate appearance. At Salonica and Aleppo the disease was raging with violence. In Greece, in con sequence of its approach, the lazaret of S.kiathos had been closed till new orders, and that of Sperzia closed against all arrivals from infected places. The disease, however, had broken out at Skiathos, and carried off 21 persons. The Government and sanitary com mittee of Athens had ordered measures to be taken to prevent the spread of the frightful malady. TETE MINISTRT.—Lord John Russell, the Lord Chancellor, Lord Lansdow ne , L ord Grey, Lord Pal merston, Lord Minto, Lord Morpeth, Sir George Grey, Sir Charles Wood, Sir John Hubhouse, and Mr. Labou chere, have all left town, and most of them are expected to he absent from the metropolis fur some weeks, after their protracted attendance during the Parliamentary session. The Marquis of Clanricarde remains at pre sent in town. The Noble Marquis transacted business yesterday at the Foreign. office. Lord tirey is at pre sent no further from town than Datchett, and will not proceed to Howick before the arrival of one of the other Secretaries of St ste.

The non commissioned officers of the extra reserved battery will have is. per day, and the men 9d. per day, in addition to their pay when em ployed at the Royal Arsenal, or on the fatigue duties of the garrison, which will be a great acquisition to many steady married men who have seen long service. The whole of the newly formed 16 companies mustered yesterday to show their kits to their respective com manding officers. Count Schimmelpennick, the Netherlands Minister, arrived in London yesterday afternoon, by the General Steam Navigation Company's mail steam-ship, Ocean, from Rotterdam. A.lo:\El` CO:1 , 131EI:CIAL CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday was steady at previous rates. American realised 30. to sd. per lb.—Railway Shares were very flat, and still de" clining. The accounts from Belgium state that there was a great falling off in the exports of linen and other textile fabrics, this year compared with last, and that the month of July was more unfavourable even than were the pre ceding months. The two Chambers of Holland are expected to be con voked in a few days for the purpose of sanctioning the new constitution. The debates in the first Chamber of the States General h av i ng conc l u d e d , an d t h e en tire clauses of the project having been adopted, gentlemen connected with Holland, either in trade or as natives, express much satisfaction at this result, the more so, as there were some doubts of the reform tendencies of the Dutch Chambers, although the wishes of the King were known to be in favour of enlightened and liberal measures. Ship letters have come to hand from several of the Australian colonies. The dates reach to the end Of April. The want of labour was felt, but there had been an arrival with 250 emigrants at Adelaide, South Att!s" tralia. The pursuits of mining were prosecuted with great industry. Cape of Good Hope accounts of July 3, by the Atha nmum, state that on the Kafir frontier all was tranquil, and that the colonial government was acting vigorously to bring its plans into operation for the future protec tion of the exposed territory. The cultivation of Cotton at Natal was about to be more actively carried on. The English Stock Market has been very dull this morning, but the quotations are supported.
