Already we have said that the Reform Bill was z delusion. Already we have commended the neo4 movement originated by JOSEPII HUME and Ricuaan COBDEN. Already we have eulogised Lord DUDLEY SITAILT and Sir BENJAMIN HALL, because, demand ing an immediate extension of the suffrage to house holders, a restriction to triennial Parliaments, election by ballot, and the partition of the country into elec toral districts, they have, ne tertheless, repudiated the idea of their being regarded as finality men, min have proclaimed at once that they will only receive these four grand concessions from the Legislature as instalments of a gigantic system of innovation. Al ready, we say, we have done this, and yet we protest we have no sympathy (no, Lot the smallest) with those who would etnbarrass.. , Earliament with unnumbered measures of improvement supported by tumultuous assemblages, iind'bicked by a forest of pikes, an': bludgeons. ~- N Y,knOw - very well that there are hun dreds of the'lignts of Ccnservatism who will not lot able to coMptehend this. It will appear to them lac, a contradiction, or rather an impossibility. Regard ing all classes of Reformers, from the rational Re formers of the moral force system to those iirational advocates of democracy who would not hesitate u; any mode, however revolutionary—physical foret Reformers, in short, Communists, Socialists, and the like, politicians of the pike school or the vitrio bottle—as synonymous and identical, these °pp. nents of the popular movement, cannot comprehen, anything like a juste milieu in legislative re form. With them the agitations of O'CoN• :aim. are as pernicious us those of MircitEl, the projecta• of LAMARTISE are not less odious than the schemes of CaussimEnli, the logical orations of Mr. COBDEN .are not more worthy of consideration than the unintentional absurdities and unconscious burlesque of- the tedoubtable Mr. CUFFIY. .. Th ere ibte, it is that our ideas of comprehensive sad kat". THE SUN, - 7 diate reforms—and yet reforms at once progressive and rational—will appear in their estimation as nothing short of being absolutely impracticable. Nevertheless we reiterate our previous ass. rtion. We regard a grand and instant movement of reform as essential—we maintain the necessity of extending the privilege of the elective franchise to many mil lions of the population who have hitherto been de prived of that advantage—we demand the ballot, the diminution of the time allowed to Parliament as the extreme limits of its existence—and we aver at once that we also look upon these measures as mere instalments of reform, and that we view their reali sation as feasible without resorting to bluster, or to intimidation, or to mob demonstrations, or to araled processions, or to forged petitions, or to spoken trea son, or to acted treason, or to any other of the evi dences of ignorance, brutality, or humbug. We protest this—we maintain this—Clerken well- green, Kennington-common, and Horselydown nevertheless notwithstanding ! The more rea-onable members of the great body called the Chartists have al ready come to the same conclusion. They have abandoned the nution cf pushing im possible Bills throu,h the Houses of Lords and Commons, with the pressure of a rabble of 150,000 men. They have adopted the L.oble and humanizing principles of agitation which were first acted upon by DANIEL O'CoNNELL, and which have recently led to such glorious results under the guid ance of RICH AHD COBDEN. A pact, ortreaty of alliance, has been formed between this section of the Chartists and the Radical Reformers, in obedience to which fraternization they will conquer many of those evils which weigh most heavily upon the bulk of the population. The passage of the Emperor NAPOLEON from Eiba to Paris —perhaps the most sublime spectacle in ancient or modern history—that journey in which a great military hero marched in triumph from the extremity of a vast country into the heart of its capital, conquering the land of France with a body-guard of one thousand men, and without the effusion of a single drop of bli od— the pas sage of the Em p eror NAPO LEON f r om Elba to Paris may be emulated morally, if not physically, , by a statesman, if not by a captain. W e are already' the em b a rked in such an undertaking, we are, politically ve o n f t ß ur e e f . ortn l'e aa ' h P :v a e k r i reached the the Cannes outset of of suc expedition n d Reform— before us lie the saowy ways of Provence, beyond those Grenoble and Lyons—.but in the perspective there is Paris. Let there not be hesitation—let there be unanimity —and there must be success. The inquiry refused by a large majority of the House of Commons, although it was demanded by nine-tenths of the Irish representatives, was lain night partially conceded by the House of Lords The Earl of LIICAN moved for a Select Committee " to inquire into the operation of the Irish Poor-law Acts relative to the rating of immediate lessors," and although strongly opposed by Ministers, his motion was carried by a majority of . six. We regret that a general investigation was not directed, such as that which had been sought for in the House of Commons. The Noble Lord who brought forward the subject might be said to have a peculiar interest in the matter to the extent to which it was carried. He had been repeatedly attacked in Parliament and in the public journals, in reference to large arrears of rates said to be owing by him, the justice of which charges he had most strenuously denied. It cannot be forgotten that the property of the poor-law guardians in the Castlebar Union, a considerable portion of which be longs to the Noble Earl, was recently sold under an execution for debt, and the alleged grounds for so stringent and unseemly a proceeding were that the majority of the proprietors throughout the district were defaulters, and that it was absolutely impossible to collect funds sufficient to pay the outstandin; accounts of the tradesmen, and to provide the means of existence for the enormous number of destitute poor who were cast upon the resources of the union. Legal proceedings, it appears, have been instituted, and are now pending in the superior courts in Dub lin, and also in the local courts, for the purpose of ascertaining the parties justly liable for the payment of these rates, who are consequently morally respon sible for this untoward state of affairs. What. ever may be the result of these pro. ceedings, the inquiry will be valuable. It will he ascertained whether the law itself is radi cally wrong, or whether the grievancea complained of are imputable merely to the mode of its adrninistra • Possibly, it may appear that the censures that have been so liberally bestowed are wholly without ustitication. In any event, the real delinquents will he discovered, and if a legislative remedy is re quired, that remedy may he applied without any unnecessary delay. Parliament should not wait until wrong has been ac*ually inflicted. If it can be satis factorily shown that the law is in any respect erro neous or inefficient, the Legi-lature should interpose, And prevent any British subjects from being un• justly oppressed or injured. We rejoice, therefore, • hat the proposed inquiry has been granted—we think it was due to the Noble Lord to afford him a full upportunity of vindicating his OrVII conduct. The .anxiety he has shown f.r a searching investigation :roes far to prove that he believes himself to be unjustly sccused, and those who have heretofore condemned 1 must now, at least, suspend their judgments until the rep \ o v r e t ofm themust, st C h o u m w i e n v i e t r te e deplore that that which was cefused in the popular as,embly to the almost unani nous rcquest of the Irish representatives, should apparently be conceded to the personal interests of an oidividual Member of their Lordships' House. This ..ould not have been asserted it the inquiry was ge leral, and not limited to the operation of a parti• ..:ular portion of the law. We are not amkngst the ipponents of that law ; on the contrary, we ad vocated to the ut Lost of our power, its general )olicy, although many serious defects were patent .n the face of the Act, against which we remon t:ated, believing that the humane intentions of the Legislature c ,, uld never he fully carried out so long is they were permitted to remain. A general nquiry would separate the wheat from the •haff, arid enable the Legislature to retain hat which is really valuable, and to cut off every hing the tendency of which may be proved to be in talons. The quarter-acre clause especially should he repealed. It is impossible to find language suffi ciently strong to censure that atrocious provision, by which a direct premium is held out to the hard hearted and oppressive landlord, and he .is enabled to clear his estates, and to drive those who might be -nabled to provide for their families With a very Trifling assistance ; from the humble homes in which they were born and brov,ht up, by under hand means, and without being exposed to :he public odium and disgrace which a stringent lxn-cise of their legal rights would inevi ably ex pose them to. We have already re peatedly pointed out that the mere withholding of employment by the owner of the estate himself, and by his immediate neighbours, whom he would he , nabled to oblige in a similar manner, must inevitably !rive any struggling cottiers to the workhouse for relief; that, however, cannot be afforded until he has ;iven up his holding, if above a quarter of an acre, to his reputed landlord. A summary and easy mode of ejectment is thus provided, by which the most heartrending suffering may be inflicted on the humbler classes. [Although the following arguments respecting Sir HENRY LYTTON BULWER'S share in the recent mis understanding between the British and Spanish Governments, are totally at variance with the ,pinions maintained by ourselves, we have no hesita- Liun whatever in giving insertion to the paper of our correspondent, as it indicates the view entertained ipun the question at issue by a large portion of the ::ommunity.] - - (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The correspondence which has just been presented to Parliament upon the sub:ect of the abrupt dis• missal of Sir 11. BELWER from his post, by the orders of the Spanish Government, certainly, throws great additional light upon the real nature of the question which this country has to settle with Spain. We are riot privy to the line which the Government may de cide upon taking in this matter, but the 'cwers before us enable us at once to separate Sir H. Buovsg's cause from that of the Noble Lord at the head of the For r ign Department, although knowing the in terested attempts which will be made to connect them, as well as to make it appear that we are in- debted to Lord PALMERSTON'S note, of the 16th of March, fur everything unpleasant which has since occurred in our relations with Spain. We feel sure, however, that the British public will not be deceived by the specious arguments with which certain of our contemporaries have sought to cloud the important matter at issue, as though the additional sacrifice of a British Minister were deemed desirable, merely for the purpose of appeasing the spent insolence of the despotic Minister of a second-rate power. We must have, indeed, fallen very low for such a considera tion to have any weight ! But with regard to Lord P A LMERSTON'S instruc tions of March 16,f0r our p art we never anything o bjectionable in that dispatch, taken as i n structions for the guidance of our Minister saw at Madrid. It contained, in a few words, the outlines of a policy which it must be the wish of all parties in this country to see adopted in Spain ; and, so far from having been intended to complete the ruin of the sur viving parties to the Spanish marriages, it was rather calculated to conciliate them to the more popular party, and thus to consolidate Qu-en ISABELLA'S throne upun the affections of her people. If offence was taken by the Spanish Government we must derive it from the manner in which Lord PAT.MERSTON'S instructions were carried out, by an agent who, though endowed with original talents of the highest order, had, by a singular want of self-respect, estranged from him the respectable Spaniards of all parties. We feel sure that had Sir FL BULWER. waited upon the Duke of SozoataYon, and read that dispatch to his Excellency, assuring hiat, at the same time, of the friendly disposition with which he came .to re• present the sentiments of the British Government, the advice would have been listened to in the same friendly spirit, even though it were not followed. Instead of this, however, Sir 11. Bus.wits was pleased to make the substance of his intended communication to the SFaoish Government for some days the subject of his general conversation (by which means we charitably account fur its premature ap pearance in the Clamor Publico), and then to forward it to the Duke of SOTOMATOR, accompanied by a note, the nature of which was calculated to irritate that Minister rather than to explain the motives by which the British Government was animated. %Ve confess that under these circumstances we cannot be surprised that offence was taken, although we cannot but fuel hurt that the Spanish Government did not at once, as it did subsequently, know how to separate the part of the agent from that of the employer. We must also feel sorry that in this instance Lord PAL• MRRSTON showed his usual dislike to disavow an agent who had not actually disobeyed his instruc tions. But we now maintain that, with Lord PAL MERSTON'S temperate answer to the Duke of SOTO. MAYOR'S bombastic and indefensible note, all hostile feeling on the part of the Qovernment of Spain to wards that of great Britain apparently ceased ; it then became a purely personal question between the British Representative and the Spanish Minister, the notes of the latter chiefly turning upon the share which the former was said to have had in the publi cation in the Clamor Publico. That Sir 11. Buewea was fully sensible to this is shown by the manner in which he latterly begged the Duke of SOTOMAYOR not to suffer their personal qua.rAlto exercise any njurious effect upon the relations: between the two LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 31, 1048. M. Burez.ux de Puz% main appeared in the tribune ; a genera! cry far the 'division arose. Th. President rang his b. 11, and for a long time ende., voured in vain to obtain a hearing for the Hon. D. puty, who remained patiently where he was. At length silence being partially restored. he be gan to defend himself from the charge of having any way attacked the Executive Committee. It had been said, he observed, that the orders given bad not been executed through a want of unity in the command. — (The noise and tumult was here renewed with increased violence, so as to melee it almost impossible. to catch the remarks of the lion. Deputy, but he was understood to say that tne National Assembly had been invaded before any orders had been given for its protection.) The President—General Cavaignac has proposed an amendment. Several Voices—Refer it to the Committee. The President—The amendment is referred to the Committee.—(General acclamation.) The Members rose tumultuously from their seats and left the Chamber in great disorder, and much agitation prevailed for some time in the lobbies, where violent questions and explanations were exchanged between many of the Members. The sitting closed at seven o'clock. The confidence in the Members of the Executive Government has been much diminished in conse quence of their conduct with respect to Louis BLANC. M. CREMIEUX, the Minister of Justice, has, during the course of his inquiries into the proceedings of the 15th May, obtained evidence which proves to demonstration the complicity of Louis BLANC in the Barbes conspiracy. M. CREMIEUX thereupon announced that he should on Monday apply to the National Assembly for leave to proceed against M. Louis BLANC, one of its members. The Executive Commission, however, interfered, and absolutely interdicted such a proceed ing. It is evident that matters cannot be permitted to remain in this state. The National Assembly is the supreme power of the State, and the Members of the Executive Committee are the servants of the Assembly. The,Assembly, therefore, has the power, which it will, no doubt, exercise at a fitting time, of calling on the members of the Executive Committee to explain the reasons for their interference with the course of justice. The Constitutionnel says— " The Commission of Public Works charged with the inquiry as to the railway question have almost unani mously decided to hear the Minister of Finance at twelve o'cloek today, and afterwards to put him in communi cation with the Minister of Public Works, and succes iiiely with the directors of all the railway companies, and the professors of international law who have studied the question. "The Sub-Commission is favourable to the principle of purchase by the state, but give no opinion as to the opportunenesa of immediate purchase, or the conditions of ptnch9se." La Republique says— " The Executive Commission have held a council on the events of Naples, and instructions were immediately sent to Admiral Baudin that, it the King did not at once give satisfaction and indemnity to the French subjects who had suffered in this horrible affair, it might lead to serious results." The following is a report of what (passed in the Committee of Finance ;—The Committee of Finance called before it the syndics of the agens de change of Paris in order'to have their opinion as to the con version of the Treasury Bonds rinto Rentes. The governor and sub-governor of the bank were to have been present, but requested that their attendance might be postponed to the following day, in order that they might have the opinion of the r board of directors. The Minister of Finance ao.nmunicated to the Committee several important documents rela tive'to the state of the finances. From these docu ments it results that the receipts during the first four months of the present year, compared with the corresponding period of 1847, show a decrease of 33,350,000fi, of which 16,310,000 f. are for January, February, And March, and 17,023,000 E for April. The floating debt of the Treasury, from the 24th February to the 24th May of the present year, as compared as above, shows a diminution of 77,212,700 f. The amount of the 22d May shows a balance of 68,630,648 1 . cash and bills. Of the cash 10,549,766 f. belong to the Treasury, and 18,552,9451. belong to the Bank of France. The amount received of the extraordinary tax of 45 per cent. up to the 10th May, was only 34,558,974 f. out of the total estimate of that impost which stands at 191,2.59,489 f. The total debt of the Savings Batiks on the 24th May was 328,780,000 E, of which 70,296,000 E was for Paris, and 258,484,000 1 . for the departments, in cluding the interest capitalised ou the Ist May. On the 24th Feb. the total amount was 356,203,0001. — showing a diminution in the three months of 27,414,000 f. The National Assembly met yesterday at half-past one, and proceeded at ones to discuss the important Bill relating to the national workshops. M. Paul St. Vestre maintained that an abundance of work could be found at Paris fur workmen of every kind, it only proper means were taken to eff,ct that object. But for some time rack's system of ietieradatiuu heed barn employed, which had the effoet of preventing the weil-disposed portion of the working population from acting as they would themselves desire. The Hon. Member read a great number of documents from em• players in the various trades more especially practised ir. Paris, to show that they had plenty of work to give, but that they could not find men to execute it ueleas at enormously augmented wages. The wen who had pre iously worked for them were now at the national work shops, and, if a new organization of those establishments was carried out, would most probably return to their former employments. Tue Hon. Member concluded by declaring himself in favour of the Bill. M. Joineau opposed the measure ou the ground that it was of a despotic character, particularly .0 that part which authorised the Government to direct all the work men who could not. prove that they resided in Paris tor three months to their own departments, with an allow ance of su much p r league for travelling expenses. — (Cries of " Oh, oh," and disaprebatioo.) M. Benoit supported the measure, which he thought would be attended with excellent results. He, however, must, he said, deny the assertion that the working classes refused to work.—(Cries of " They do! they d o r) If some did it was only a very small number. — (No, no.) Certainly the number who refused was not such as to authorise any Hon. Member to throw a stigma un the working classes iu general. M. Graudin must maintain that the assertion relative to the refusal f the working classes to take usetul cm pluytnrnt was perfectly correct. He knew the fact, both trout his own experience and from the statements of ma nufacturers and employers amongst his friends.

M. Reynal said that the whole blame ought not to be thrown en the workmen. It must not be forgotten that the masters had refused to give work to es many men as they had previously employed ; this had naturally caused much perturbation, and many men bad been obliged, unwillingly, to enter the national workshops. The general discussion was then declared to be closed, and the articles were brought forward : Art. 1. Doclaring that the national workshops in the department of the Seine being ueproductive, means should be immediately taken to reorganize them.— Adopted, with the omission of the words " department of the Seine," in order to make the measure general. Art. 2. Means shell be taken, with as little delay as possible, to procure for the men tusk-work, without the intermediation of third persons.—Adopted. Art. 3.

The honourable member should pro pose to have this amt ndment placed as Art. 5. of the M. Leyreau proposed, as an additional article, de claring that the preceding part of the Bill does not apply to workmen who were in the habit of each year coming to Parts at certain periods of the year for certain kings of employment, and who could show that they had re sided six mouths in Paris the year before. This ud ditional article was intended to supply a chasm in the hid, as there were certain persons, such as the Auverg nets, who came every year to Paris to attend Masons, whom it would not be lair to prevent following their usual industry.—Agreed to.

DENMARK AND THE DUC HIES' The intelligence we gave yesterday , of the witir drawal of the German troops from Jutland, is confirmed. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. countries. We next come to the insurrection which broke out in Madrid on May the 7th. We cannot for a moment suppose that Sir 11. Beewea can have taken any part either directly or indirectly in that abortive attempt on the part of a few misguided soldiers to revolutionise Spain. It appears impossible to us that any British Minister could ever so far forget himself as to participate in so criminal an undertaking. let euch was the discredit into which Sir H. BULWER'S general conduct had brought him, that we find him obliged to defend himself against a public accusation of having aided and abetted that plot; and, ridiculous as the charge must be, we have reason to know that he was generally pointed at as the supplyer of the " foreign gold" referred to in M. SARTORIUS'S official proclamation. This, as it were, official accusation led to a further correspondence of an unpleasant nature, which so far from conciliating matters tended further to embarrass the position of her MAJEszy's represen tative, till the insurrection at Seville, in which he I was supposed to have had a hand (we have no doubt with equal injustice), induced the Spanish Govern - meat to take the bold step of ordering him to leave Madrid within forty-eight hours. Such are the simple facts of the compromising question, and we ask, in all sincerity, whether there was anything in Lord PALMERSTON'S dispatches which was calculated to bring about such a result ? We are far from defending the conduct of Queen ISAUELLA's Cabinet. On the contrary, we think the tone and matter of the Duke of SOTOMAYOR'S notes most insolent and unjustifiable. What can be more arrogant, for instance, than the pretension which he puts forward in his last note as justifying his disrnis• sal of Sir 11. PULWER, because that gentleman's conduct had been condemned (as he is pleased to state) by toe English press and Parliament, as well as by her Majesty's Government, as though other than the (mploy er had a right to rectal an agent with whom tie might be dissatisfied ? But our limits pre vent us front denouncing at present the various pre tensions which make the Duke of Suxoataroses notes ridiculous. Our object has been to show that, however unjust may have been the decision of the Spanish Cabinet to dismiss a British Minister with out previously applying to his Court for his recal, yet Lord PALMERSTON cannot be considered to have as sisted in any way whatsoever in bringing about this result. IV e sincerely hope and believe that Sir [I. Buewea had no connexion with this last out break at Seville, which alone was the immediate cause of his dismissal. We only regret that his associates should have been of so low a stamp as to permit such an idea to he for an instant entertained with respect to a British Minister and gentleman. If the charge is a false one, as we have already ex pressed our confident belief that it is, the Spanish Government must give all the satisfaction which can be demanded for so unparalleled an insult to the British nation. But if the charge be true,—and it is for the Spanish Government to prove that it is so,—it will be the duty of the British Government at once tore pudiate a Minister who will have brought a disgrace upon his country, by abetting a factious rebellion against the SOVEREIGN to whom he was sent as a friendly counsellor. We have written these lines without any feeling of party spirit, and we hope we may have shown that, whatever course her Majesty Government may think it best to adopt, the present embarrassing posi tion is not one of their own creating. SPAIN. Madrid journals of the 25th have arrived. The Spanish Government had caused Colonel BRISTOW, an English subject, many years resident in Madrid, to be arrexted, and to be conducted under a guard to the French frontier. The fusion of Carlists and Progresistas, or rather the formation of a Spanish national party, having the Count DE MONTEMOLIN at its head as constitutional King, becomes every day more probaLle, and it is said that NARVAEZ himself would have no objection to send the RIONTPENSIERS to Mexico and to proclaim the Count DE MONTEMOLIN Prince of Asturias and heir to the throne. The MONTPENSIERS remain on board a steamer in the river Guadalquiver ; they have refused to return to Alcazar.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES.—Some idea may be formed c.l the present depressed state of affairs, from the start ling tact, that on Tharsday last Baron Rothschild could not get a Bill done, although drawn by Lord John Rus sell :I—Puppet how. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. - Everything was quiet in Paris, although the National Guard still continued under arms, and the workmen in the Ateliers Nationaux remained undis persed, and it is feared that in order to compel them to do so recourse must be had to force. There are among the persons who obtained admission to the Ateliers Nationaux during the first days of the revolution several convicted thieves, who found it more comfortable to be maintained by the State in luxury and idleness than even to pursue their dis honest calling. These men are desperate, and are doing their best to render the other pauper aristocrats as desperate as themselves. It is generally considered that a colli-don must soon take place between the coy riers and the National Guard, and when it does take place it will he sanguinary but final. The conclusion of ;he Monday's sitting of the Assembly was occupie.l n discussing the Bill settling the relations between the Executive Committee and the Government. The debate which was exceedingly stormy, was ad.. journed. The following is a resume of the proceedings : After the speech of M. Pere 6.., on the Bill relative to the relations to exist between the Committee of the Executive Bayer and the National Assembly, the general discussioa was then pronounced to be closed, and the articles were brought forward. Art 1 declares that " although the Members of the Executive Committee are in general exempted from being present at the sittings of the National Assembly, still they are always to attend when summoned by a mes sage from the President, or when forty Members re quire it. M. Amiable J)ubas proposed the following amend ment:—" The Executive Committee shall be represented at each sitting by at least one Member." Not being seconded, it fell to the ground. M. Flandrin proposed another amendment, declaring that " though the M.embsrs of the Executive Committee should be allowed to exempt themselves generally, still the% should attend when their lubours would permit thern.—(Disapprobation.) On some certain day they should he present to answer questions."—Rejected. 119. Bouchier de l'Ecluse proposed that the Executive Committee shall not be obliged to attend the sittings of the National Assembly it the iuterest of the state de mands their absence. Not being seconded, it fell to the graund. The President--As there is no turther amendment proposed, the discussion on Art. 1 will commence. M. Bernard observed that he considered the article useless. The Executive Committee was the confidential agent of the Assembly, and it now wished to place it self without the jurisdiction of that Assembly.—(Cries of" Yes, yes," No, no.") In that case there would be two Governments, one a responsible Ministerial Government, which consented to come amongst them, and an irre sponsible Executive Committee, which would not do so. It had been said that the Executive Committee was in. cessantly occupied; but, in that case, he would ask what was there left for the Ministers to do? He objected both to the decrees of the Committee and that of the Assembly, and should propose to let things go on as they had done up to that time. M. Lsbordere defended the article of the COmmittee. M. Ledru Rollin declared his acceptance et the word ing of the Bill as brought forward by the Committee, because he considered it the same as that of the Govern inent; and without that he could not consent to remain in office.—(Murmurs.) " For my part," said the Hoe. Member, "in my political career, if I have strongly opposed the men in power. I have always respected the Government itself. The Government must be strong both at home and abroad. How can you have your Ambassadors received with respect abroad, if they are named by a Government which you place in a derisory position?— (Muni urs.) The Government must be dis tinguished by its unity; beware of dividing it:" A Voice—No one thinks of dividing it. M. Ledru kollin—We do not look on toe new wording proposed by the Committee as a check, but as a guarantee. We consider that it assures the Executive Committee that it shall not be taken unawares on any questions whatever, and that it shall always have full time to deliberate before it appears before you. I have, there fore, again to declare that I support the view taken by the Committee.—(Hear.) The article was then adopted. Art. 2, which states that the Executive Committee should always have a right to be heard by the Assembly, was adopted without discussion. Art. 3, relative to the measures of defence conceded to the President, was then brought forward. M. Guiehard proposed an amendment to the effect that the care of the do'ence of the Chamber should be confided to the President, in conjunction with the Mem bers of the Executive Committee.—(Dtsepprobation.) The Minister of NVar—article 3, as at present drawn up, raises a variety of questions, but I shall only treat that of your safety in a military point of view. It your sittings took piece in a locality where the whole garrison of the place was at your disposal, certainly the President of the Assembly, or the Assembly itself, I might provide fur its defence ; but Paris is net such u place, and what bait once happened Isere may be again renewed. Who could say beforehand, that factious teen might not attack at the sante time the Tuileries, the Louvre, and any other point ? Well, then, while the President was ordering the reppel to be beaten for the defence of the Assembly, the Executive Committee might order it to be done for other places, and thus great confusion and hesitation might arise, and the re sult would be dishonour for the military commanders — (Marks of dissent.) Yes, I repeat, dishonour, because they would not be masters of their action; because there would be no unity of command, without which success was impossible. I certainly have no wish to take front the power of your President, but I would wish that that power should be exercised by calling on the Executive Committee to take care of the Assembly. The Hon. Minister concluded by presenting another version of the at ticlo proposed by the Executive Committee, the object of his proposition being, that when it became necessary to provide for the safety of the Assembly, the President might order the Executive Committee to adopt the ne cessary measures. In case of extreme urgency, the measures might be taken by the President himself. M. I3ureaux de Puzy—No Member had the slightest idea of giving the President a right to constitute himself commissary-general of police or general of the army. All that was intended was to delegate to him a power which each could not use individually. On May 14 the ['resident showed perfectly well that he was quite aware of what he ought to do. He, on that day, wrote to l ai n s rt attackaia waswarning him intended n n thetlie mostAssem b e x l yp licit thats ti 3t e re r n t ea ra3l e ~ and that it eas absolutely necessary' to take the most decided measures to be prepared to withstand it, and to hinder the deliberations of the legislative body from being troutiled either by noise, crowds, or actual force. " You have," said the President, at the conclu sion of his note to the General, "you have complained to me that I had sometimes given orders di rectly; but I renounce doing so to-day, unless circumstances shall arise to render such a course President ta did still thedecree c d necessary."

Was it necessary for it to wait for a fortnight to fled out that its authority was menaced by it? Thedanger was not for the Executive power, but for the Assembly itself. When the attack was made on the Government, was it against the Executive Committee the insurgents directed their efforts? No, but against the National Assembly.—(Hear, hear.) The reason was obvious—because it was in that body that lay the sovereign power. It was in consequence of the necessity which existed to defend the Assembly at every risk, that. he must call on the lion. Members before him to vote for the Bill as ampnled by the Cemmittee. M. Marie—What you have abOve all to look to, is that no conflict arise between the Assembly - and me Executive Committee. No one can think of placing himself above the Assembly, and the Executive Com mittee by no means loses sight of the fact that its ap pointmentb at time revoked.

" FLi:ILIN AND. " Innspruck, May 20." PRUSSIA. The Preuissiche Stoats Anzeiger publishes in a supplement of sixteen columns the debate in the second sitting of the Prussian Assembly. The sit ting was entirely occupied with the election returns, a subject of purely local interest. M. MILD, of Breslau, had been elected President of the Prussian Assembly. There have been some slight disturbances in Ber lin, excited by the opponents of the return of the Prince of PRUSSIA. The Aix•la-Chapelle Gazette, which is widely circulated in the Rhenatt provinces, contains an ar ticle in favour of the Prince of PRUSSIA. It asserts : —l. That immediately after the 24th of February his Royal Highness waited on the KING, and urgef him to grant forthwith a constitution based on the broadest principle, but that he was refused.. 2. That he strongly objected to the employment ,of troops in the streets, especially of the Guards, and proposed, should troops be required, to call out for this purpose the Landwehr, who might be consi dered as the nearest link between the army and the people. This also was overruled ; it being objected that no confidence could be placed in the Landwehr for the suppression of popular tumults. From that day forth, says the Aix Journal, his Royal Highness never offered an opinion, but resigned the command• in-chief of the guards a few days after (13th March), that is six days before the night of the revolution. Mean while addresses, or notices in favour of his Royal Highness's return, are coming in from all di• rections, and it is supposed that numerous petitions to this effect will be presented to the Chambers. A notice from the Minister of Finance, addressed to the principal houses connected with the wool trade in Silicia, states that the Royal Seeliandlungs Com pany will not only continue to facilitate transactions to the best of its power during the coming wool fairs of Breslau and Berlin, but that it will accept the bills of English wool dealers drawn on secure London bankinb-houses. FRANKFORT. The German Parliament met on Friday; 11. V. GAG ERN i❑ the chair. A motion was made for the urgent necessity of a Committee being immediately formed for deliberation on the Sclavonic movement in Germany.—Referred to the Constitution Committee. The Committee for consideration of the motion of Mr. RAVEAUX, Member fur Col o gne, a n d 22 analogous motions from other Members, regarding " the in fluence of the decisions of the German National Cn ostituent Assembly on th e C ons tit u tion of the individual German States," not being able to agree by an absolute majority how the question should be brought before the douse, now present it in four diffe rent. shap-s. Six of the Members offer it in this form:— " The National Constituent Assembly, as the organ of the whole German people, for the establishment or a constitution having for its objects the unity and political freedom of Germany, declare, that all points in German constitutii,ns which, after the completion of the general constitution, do not agree with it, shall he altered and brought into unison with the German constitution." Two of the other forms are very similar. The third, which is signed by four Members, states, " that believing the German states which in some particular c onstitutional points do not agree with the general German constituti in when finished, will of themselves alter them, therefore vote for the order of the day." M. Raystaux. then rose and went into a long dis cussion on the comparative merits of the three dif ferent ways of stating the same thing, and said he agreed on the whole with a form which had the signature of one of the Committee. A lengthy debate ensued and the House was left sitting. BELGIUM. BRUSSELS, MAY 20.—M.
