One circumstance or another of a more immediate interest has distracted the attention of England, and, to a considerable extent, of the European continent also, from the proceedings of the great federative German Parliament. Frankfort-on-the-Maine, it is true, became the cynosure not only of neighbouring eves, but of the eyes likewise of the more reflective nations of Christendom at the moment of the inaugu ration of the Constituent Assembly. Not, however, beyond that inauguration. So soon as the prestige of its novelty had evaporated the spell was broken and the attraction had vanished. As far as the evanescent ..iplendour of the spectacle was concerned, it was little lees gorgeous and little less fleeting than a political firework—a catherine-wheel of democracy -an explosion of the legislative pyrotechnics of the German population. There were the new 'ly-elected representatives—th e superb hall erect •ed under the dome of the cathedral— the patriotic exclamation s of the doyen d'age in his ch vracter of temporary President—the acclama tions ( ) f the multitude—the boomin g of the guns— the gl tory of the suol:ght—the noise of the church bells r "raging in the birth of a new epoch—the pro fusion of the national tri-colour, the blazonry of red, bla ck, and gold, in banners and scarfs, in ribbons and rose attes—all combined on the first day of the German is Parliament to dazzle the imagination of the 'lion, as with the brightness of a re ,volving star at Vauxhall. There was the t i ividness, the corruscation, the whirl, the va riation, tb e din, the explosion, and now there is oe , ly the . 1 blackened skeleton of Display twirling and 3 , Ning ix mg, lazily, the very mockery of its late magnificence. Such has been the career of the great Federative Parliament within the few prelimi nary weeks of its existence Such has been its promise, and such its failure ! ' We are not amazed at the result of the convocation at Frankfort. It is exactly what might have been anticipated by those who watched the portentous tumults from the midst of which the new representa tives emanated. A vast deal too much doubt and hesitation filled the hearts of the German multi tude at that moment when they were most required to exercise a deliberate judgment. To expect that beneficial results would flow from a source so peculiarly destructive as the late Revolution, would have been as idle as to expect that the pastures of Sicily would be fattened and nourished by the lava overflowing the brim of .Etna. In the very torment of a grand social convulsion, the Germans were called upon to select men qualified to organize a new constitution, and to combine a multitude of separate and quarrelsome principalities into one compact and consolidated empire. Was it pos sible—was it possible, we ask, that this moment ous election could be conducted with imparti ality throughout the length and breadth of Northern Europe at a moment of such supreme ex citement ? Was it possible ? We say most em phatically—No. It was not within the bounds of possibility that Germany just agonized with the throes of a new -born freedom—that Germany just releasing itself from the bonds of centuries —that at Germany in the hour when it exp erienced the joy resulting from the resurre ction of its nat io nality div ine joy the—could selection proceed e f t with e most e a e l m p p n r e e s p s r a a t e n d Representatives m t o seethed Those R up e Representatives s t e h n e ta ti effervescencev e s w were t the tthe bubbles multitude. o of a m o e nt No thing permanent could be expected from them—from them whose very existence was only tantamount, in point of duration, to the existence of the ephemericla! They rose only to float for a brief while on the sur face—to be soon dissipated like air—and to be then at once absorbed among the mass of the population, Their destinies are being fulfilled. Germany must soon be summoned to a holier and more awful task than that of conjuring a spectre of sovereignty from the soil, and enclosing it in a senate-house at Frankfort, like a gossamer under a glass shade ; it will soon be required to choose for itself the extent of its own dominion and the cha - racter of its own government. May it be guided to the right decision by the instincts implanted in the souls of nations by the will of OMNIPOTENCE ! Numerous suggestions have already been made as to Ithe particular form of the new constitution of Germany, and as to the most judicious manner of se lecting the first German Emperor. Which of these suggestions is the most plausible, and which the most irrational, is a problem almost as difficult to decide as to select a ripe fruit out of a basket of rotten apples. Partizanship, interest, or eccentricity have alternately originated the arguments and actuated the logicians! On all alike the true patriot of Germany—the sin cere worshipper of fatherland—should and will look with jealousy and suspicion. The oracle which is to declare the fashion and the man, the metropolis and the dynasty, the Constitution and the Emperor—is not audible either in the ravings of a demagogue, or in the ingenuity of a journalist, or in the quibbles of a pamphleteer ; it can only be heard in the Voice of the entire People, speaking in the Hour which will be struck by the hand of the DIVINITY. Germany must await that hour patiently and reverently; and then, when the sound of it reverberates over the Con tinent, let her arise and speak ! The very brief period allotted for the Whitsuntide holidays is over, and this evening the House of Com mons renew their deliberations. The closing portion of the session is almost invariably the most laborious, and assuredly the closing portion of this session, if half of the proposed measures be disposed of, will be neither unlaborious nor insignificant. First and foremost among these proposed measures, if not in locality, at least in importance, is Mr. HUME'S pro jected representative reform. On Tuesday next this important subject is to be brought forward, and it will necessarily excite considerable interest within the House, as it has already aroused public attention throughout the country. The feeling of the country is, indeed, sufficiently evidenced by the public meetings which are being held in all directions. One of the most important of these meetings was that held on Satur day last, at the Chamber of Commerce, Edinburgh, in which it was " resolved" that the plan of reform to be brought forward by Mr. HUME deserved the sup port of all sincere Reformers, and was cordially approved by the electors of Edinburgh—at least by those present at the meeting. Similar assemblies have taken place at Aylesbury, Doncaster, Hereford, and other towns. At a meeting at Thorne it was declared that there are in that town 580 householders, who are rated to the relief of the poor, only 87 of whom are qualified to vote for Members of Parlia ment—thus five-sixths of these householders are un represented. This is one of the facts which speak for themselves, and require no comment. Of facts of this class—facts which significantly illustrate the in adequacy of our present representative system, an astounding multitude might be very easily enumerated. These are the true weapons of popular warfare. One veritable instance of its injustice is immeasurably more fatal to the long continuance of any law than the most subtle arguments of the logician, or the most sublime eloquence of the orator. Facts more unan swerable than arguments, and more effective than eloquence, were the only weapons in the invincible armoury of the League—they were the pebbles in the sling which slew the Goliath of Monopoly, and in every popular struggle on these alone depends the issue of the contest. The question now is, therefore, not will Mr. HUME's motion be advocated with all the vehemence of rhetoric—will it be enforced with all the ability of special pleading ?—will it be sustained by the influence of Ministerial acquiesence, or will it be strengthened by the doubtful assistance of Chartist agitation ? The question is none of these. The ques is, will Mr. Hymn's motion be supported by a formidable array of facts—of facts which will in dubitably manifest the exigent necessity of repre sentative reform ? Will Mr. HUME'S motion be so supported? The answer is an unhesitating affirma tive—an affirmative which has already been un mistakeably proclaimed by the spontaneous and almost unanimous voice of the country, an affirmative which will receive more than sufficient corroboration when the question comes under the consideration of Par liament. To that consideration we look forward with unwavering confidence, assured, positively assured that if not this session, sooner or later the necessary reforms will be conceded. We are of those who never entertain one doubt as to the ultimate success of a just and liberal measure. We never doubted the success of the great Reform Bill—we never doubted the success of Catholic Emancipation —we never d o ubted the triumph o f F ree Trade- - and, in like man ner, we entertain no manner of doubt whatever as to the ultimate reform of our representative system. THE SUN, LOWDON SPAIN. Madrid papers of the 9th have arrived. It was rumoured in Madrid that the Whole f N ARVAEZ Ministry would retire, and tha t o Generalthe O'DoNNELL and Senor Mox had been c al led o n by the QUEEN to form a Ministr y . Should the y d o se "' M. GUIZOT, from his retreat at Brompton will be the virtual ruler of Spain, for Mort moves, and acts, and thinks but as he is directed by the late P r i me Minister of France, and has always shown himself ready to sacrifice the interest of Spain to that of the House of Orleans. Should Mop; be Minister, we may expect to see Spain the head- quarters of the Orleanist reactionnaires of France. It is rumoured that the QUEEN is enceinte. PROVIDENT CLERKS ASSOCIATION.—On Wednes day eveni,g, the 14th inst., a numerous and influential meeting of the members and friends of this excellent association was held in Bristol, the Worshipful May,r presiding, supported by P. F. Aiken, Esq., 'P. P. Jose, Esq., J. G. Shaw, Eeq., who was one of the stewards at the late public dinner in London. The latter gentleman gave a vivid and eloquent description of the results, which was received most enthusiastically. Several very elo quent addresses were delivered, and the meeting testi fied their high sense of the merits of the association by the warmth with which the ditferent speakers were re ceived and the statements made. During the evening the sum of thirty-six guineas was announced as new do nations to the benevolent fund, making the magnificent sum of 1961. contributed by the principals of that ancient city within the short space of three months. Count Ezakoff and attendants left London yes terday morning, by the steam-ship Caledonia, for liam .burgh. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The National Assembly, which on the previous s co a n b fi le nn to e p d ro h y : i d p a r y had i ne e c . l L v o o t u e i d s a lm sA o P s t o unanimouslyLEori from r t s h n e e ee,x clyesterday himself a French citizen. This result is attributable notr tu r onlyas a reversed e D v e e p rs u e t d y, i s t u s b j d e e e c t i t s o io b n is b b : i t n induced to vote the exclusion under been an unfounded apprehension, caused by the exaggerated account which the members of the Executive had given of the emeute of the preceding day, but principally to the fact that M. LEDRU ROLLIN put himself prominently forward as the advocate of the decree of exclusion ; and therefore the vote is to be considered not so muc h a vote in favour of Louis NAPOLEON as a vote against M. LEDRU ROLLIN. The de bate was remarkable also for an angry col lision between LEDRU ROLLIN and his former favourite, M. JULES FAVRE, the author of the far-famed circulars. In the course of the discus sion General CLEMENT THOMAS gave the following explanation of the firing of the " three shots," which seem to have been as fatal to the Executive Committee as the charmed bullets were to CASPAR He said he rose to correct the statement which had been made the day before relative to himself. It had nut been his intention to convey that three shots had been expressly fired. The facts were, that seeing a crowd of persons on the Place de la Concorde, whose intentions he had reason to suspect, he ordered the place to be cleared. The crowd was composed of men with whose faces he was familiar, for he had recognised them among the attraupements at the Porte St. Denis and the Porte St. Martin on several suc cessive nights. While his orders were being executed, a pistol shot was fired, whether by accident or not, he could not say, nor could he affirm that it was directed towards himself, but the shot wounded the finger of an officer near him. There was also an accidental discharge from the musket of a National Guard. No further consequences followed, but as some misappre hension had arisen, he thought it due to all parties to set the matter right." It is said that after the decision of the Assembly, M. LEDRU ROLLIN resigned. Indeed, we do not see how he could have done otherwise, after the speech which he made in support of the decree of exclusion, any; which we give below, together with the conclusion of the debate, continued from The Sun of yesterday. M. Ledru Rollin—This question is too important for the Government to allow the discussion to pass over without declaring its opinion. Yesterday it said, "'A law exists, and the Executive Committee will act on" it until the National Assembly shall declare its opinion on it." We are now told that the law does not exist. Why, then, has any proposition on the subject been sent to a Committee ? The law exists by the sole tact that it has been a question whether it shall be acted on;or not. We have been told that we have vii/lated the soie reignty of the people. Can such a charge be brought against those who founded that sovereignty on the 24th of February ; and again, can the opinions of three d•-partments be called the sovereignty of the whole people ? Certainly not.—(Murmuis.) Allow me to tell you that you are not better revolu tionists than the authors of the constitution of 1753 The authors of that constitution tell you that insurrec tion is legitimate when the whole of the principle is ton). lated. But has such a thing been done ? The sove reignty of the people only exists in its ensemble, and in an absolute manner.—(Laughter and murmurs.) If one department were to think proper to elect the Count de Paris or Henri V., would you not say that departnient had made a blunder? It has also been said that the Executive Committee had allowed it to be supposed that the law against the Bonaparte family was abrogated' by permitting other members of it to take their seats in the Assembly; but to that I will reply by saying, that Our colleagues of that family have never suffered any piali tical condemnation. Besides, was the Chamber ignorant of what had taken place in the last few days? A judi cial investigation has just commenced, and it has been discovered that money has been distributed, and the house from which that money has come is knoWn; wine has also been distributed; cries of " Vive Napo leon" have resounded in our ears, and the walls have been covered with seditious placards. Within four days three Napoleonist journals were established, preparing the way for the candidatesbip of Louis Napoleon as President. If the National Assembly thinks that no measures should be taken in th e l ace o f such facts, let it declare its opinion—the Executive Committee does its duty, let the National As sem bly d o t h e i rs. —(A p ro t bation.) Proscription an d t h e sovere i gnty o f the eo ple have been spoken of, and th ese wor d s b a d , no do bt, their effect on us. But we are now statesmen, and reason must take the part of sentiment.—(Approbation.) It has been said that Louis Bonaparte is a stranger to what is going on. That has been the expression of every one but himself. Has he come and given his adherence to the Republic? I wish that those Republicans who are assembled round the walls of this building, and who allow themselves to be led away by generous sentiments, could hear my voice, for I would say to them, "It is a law of necessity, but which will be only temporary." As for those who have only placed themselves under this standard to work on the old souvenirs of glory against the Republic, there is no pity for them.--(Approbation.) At the conclusion of the Hon. Deputy's speech there was a great agitation visible in the Chamber. M. Bonjean read another letter from Louis Napoleon, dated " London, May 24," stating that a report had reached him of an intention to bring in a Bill to exclude him from the French territory, and complaining that any such difference should be made between him and the rest of his family. The writer protests his devotedness to France, and declares that, if the Bill should pass, he would unceasingly protest against it.—(Agitation.) M. J. Favre denied that the law of 1832 existed, for if it were still in force three members of the Bonaparte family would not now be sitting in the Assembly. The placards of Prince de Joinvillo had been torn down, and the printer of them proceeded against, whereas the bills of Louis Napoleon were respected. Why was that, except because the universal feeling was in favour of his being entitled to revisit his country ? If the pre sent Bill, as introduced by the Executive Committee, were adopted, it would be the commencement of a sys tem of arbitrary law. As to the information given by M. Ledru Rollin, of money being distributed, and other acts, nothing had been proved against Louis Na poleon. " I much fear," said M. J. Favre in conclusion, " that all these representations, like the story of yester day about the shot tired and the blood shed, are only a iieins to surprise the vote of the Chamber."—(Hear.) M. Buchez repeated the arguments which he had previously brought forward against Louis Napoleon, and coitended that the Assembly had a right to annul the election of two or three colleges.—(Murmurs and loud interruption.) The Honourable Member continued to speak amidst all the tumult, but his remarks were in audible. The President—Does the Assembly intend to continue the discussion ?—(Cries of " No, no," and " Divide.") M. Buchez declared that he was charged, in the names of several Members, to present a new proposition, and to demand the adjournment of the discussion.— (Cries of "No, no, enough, enough," from all parts of the Chamber.) —Rejected. M. Degousee demanded that priority should be given to the abrogation of the law of 1832. Numerous voices —No, no, vote on the conclusions of the report. M. Degousee proposed an amendment, tending to maintain the law of 1832 until the constitution was in force.—(Cries:of " No, no," " Divide, divide.")—Rejected. The discussion was declared to be closed. The President read a proposition of M. Decoux, to the effect that the admission of Louis Napoleon should not take place until he had declared his adhesion to the Republic one and democratic. The proposition, not being seconded, fell to the ground. The President—l shall now proceed to put to the vote the question as to whether Louis Napoleon Borne parte is admitted to take his seat in the Assembly or not.—(Movement of great interest.) The question being then put, was voted in the affir mative by a great majority.—(lmmense sensation, which lasted some time.) In consequence of this vote, Louis Napoleon is ad mitted to take his seat, subject however to prove that he is a French citizen. The Assembly separated at a quarter past six, in ex traordinary agitation. The night passed off quietly, and public tranquillity in Paris had continued undisturbed up to the hour the post left. LAMARTINE'S DEFENCE. LAMARTIME has uttered his own defence—he has in one eloquent and passionate outburst extenuated the c on d uct o f the E xecut i ve C ommiss i on. I n the sitting of M o nd ay h e spo k e t h us to t h e N at i ona l Assembly :—" F or myself, citizens, I behold myself accused by the journals and by the factions, and I understand that accusation ; they say that I have conspired with these men whom you will have to try, perhaps in a very few days, with BLANQUI and with BARBES."—(From all sides of the Assembly, "No one believes it ! no one believes it !") M. DE L AMA &TINE continued, "If I have conspired with these men, with BLANGILII, with BARBES, with So- BRIER, I conspired with them only at a time when they had not revealed their true character. I have conspired with them as the lightning conductor con spires with the cloud charged with electricity! For a long time I have held up my head to these men as the lightning conductor raises its head to the thunder-cloud!"—(Voices fr om all p arts of the As sembly, " It is true! it is true 1") A Cabinet Council was held yesterday morning, at which all the members of the Executive Com mittee, and also the Ministers, were present, to con. 'V It DA 'V EVEN y:n r ERMAY sider the propriety of resigning. After a long dis cussion it was decided that the Executive Govern- 1 tnent:sliould not resign without another effort to obtain from the Assembly something like an expression of its confidence. A meeting of the friends of the Go vernment was held in one of the bureaux of the Chamber, which was attended by M. FLOCON and M. DUCLERC, and at which it was resolved, after a long discussion, that at the public meeting of the Assembly, a question should be put by one of the friends of the Ministry, M. PASCAL DUPRAT, with respect to the rumours afloat as to the retirement of LEDRU ROLLIN, and that afterwards M. GLAIs BRAWN should present a motion in the shape of a declaration on the part of the Assembly, that the vote of yesterday does not, in any respect, weaken the vote of confidence in the Government passed on the previous day. The Finance Committee had a long discussion upon the financial projec's announced by the Minister of the Finances on the previous day. Several of the Members loudly condemned the measures proposed by the Minister as a violation of the rights of pro perty. They especially attacked that portion of it which sets down the forty-five millions now in the coffers of the railway companies as a fund at the dis posal of the State. Among those who most strongly condemned the projects of the Minister of Finances were M. TRIERS and M. GOUDCHAUI, who have both been elected members of the Finance Committee. The Committee appointed to report on the ways and means proposed by the Minister of Finances is com posed of MM. TRIERS, GOUDCHAUX, FERREE, JULES DE LASTETRIE, BILLAULT, GOUIN, ST. BEUVE, and LANJURNAIS. The National says— " That M. de Persigny, who has made himself re markable for his attempts in favour of Louis Napoleon, was arrested on Tuesday at his residence. It is in a great part to his i nst igations and his acts that night, it is said, that is to be attributed the agitation which has been produced for some days past in the name of the hero of the attempts of Strasbourg and Boulogne." M. EMILE THOMAS has returned from Bordeaux. He has published a letter denying that his trip to Bordeaux was a voluntary one. He has also pre sented a petition to the Assembly, praying for a judi cial inquiry into ,his conduct as manager of the Ateliers Nationaux. He has addressed a petition to the Minister of Justice, in which he asks for autho rity "to prosecute by law the citizen TEELAT, Minister of Public Works, for the facts of illegal arrest, personal sequestration, and public false asser tions of a nature to damage the private reputa• tion of a citizen, of which facts he has rendered himself culpable with respect to him M. EMILE THOMAS." The National Assembly met yesterday at one o'clock. Soon after groups were formed below, near the tri bune, and animated conversations were held, and the rumour began to spread that the Executive Committee intended to announce their resignation. The minutes of the preceding sitting had been read, and a number of reports on election returns were pre sented, and as yet not a single .Member connected with the Government was present. M. Montal presented a proposition, declaring that as the National Assembly was the source of every act of amnesty, it confirms the decree passed by the Executive Committee on May 31, granting an amnesty to all National Guards who might have offended against the laws of 1831 and 1837.—T0 be developed on a future day. The Abbe Fayet ascended the tribune to propose a mode of voting which he thought would save the time of the Assembly. It was simply this, that when a division was to take place, a secretary should call out the names of the Members and that each should say " Yes," or " Nu," according as he was for or against the question proposed. This andsome other plans were referred to the Com mittee on the regulations. The order of the day was the adjourned discussion on the Bill relating to the incompatibilities. M. Roland, the reporter on the Bill, stated that the Committee had conferred with the Committee on the Constitution, as to the question brought forward by the amendment of M. Flandin, call ing on every representative being a public func tionary to choose within a delay of one week after the promulgation of the Bill between his functions and his seat in the Chamber. The two Committees were op posed in their views, and both differed from the views of M. Flandin. The Committee on the Bill was in favour of the principle of excluding all public functionaries from the Chamber, but thought that it should not be put in force during the existence of the present Assembly, principle co n stitut iooung, observed seevrevnedtothbaetdiifsethuessAedssaetinpbrleysewn wore now whilst the Committee on the Constit ut i on d en i e d t h at th e M. Coquerel, th e r e p or t er o f t h e C omm i ttee on t h e to vote on the question referred to, it would prejudge part of the task ref erred to the Committee which he re presented. The great task of the Assembly, at present, was to fix the constitution; in order to effect that great work, every assistance ought to be grasped at, no matter from what quarter it came. To exclude from the Chamber those men who from a long habit of business had attained con-i -derable experience, and could be of the greatest utility at the present critical conjuncture would be most un wise. The committee on the constitution felt that they should be unfairly treated if they were to be debarred from availing themselves of the information now exist ing in the chamber. In consequence, he had to propose that the matter be adjourned to a later period. e th mb a e g r a s in o s f t th m e . c F om ia m nd it in te ,B e am endment. e L ß h i e l r i, be sp tt o e k , e one a t s o o f m t e h l e e n m g The ministers here entered and t oo k t h e i r p l aces . on the M. Coquerel again demanded to have the matter ad journed. General Clement Thomas wished to make an observa tion on a fact which referred, in a certain measure, to the present question. The Commander-in-Chief of the Na tional Guards of the Seine received no salary. A sum of 50,000 f. had been allowed under the late Government as an indemnity fur the expenses incidental to the neces sity of receptions, and to defray the expenses of the staff. That sum was still allowed, but every franc of it w as spent, and even more. Since February the duties of the staff had been exceedingly severe; as in some cases they had been obliged to perform the work of the police of the capital. Not less than 130 officers had been added to those previously existing. He seized on that oppor tunity to contradict a calumny which had been sent into circulation against him, namely, that he every month was able to put in his pocket 4,000 f. Every day a table was prepared for thirty officers, and every part of the 50,0001. was expended. As long as he was Commander in-Chief, he should not receive any salary • he thought he ought to give an example of disinterestedness. Mr. Baroche thought that M. Flandin's amendment ought to be at once decided on. After that, the question of adjournment could be resolved, or not, as the As sembly might think fit. The amendment of M. Flandin, rendering it impera tive on every. representative, who held a Government situation, to choose, withi n t h e s p ace of a week, was put to the vote, and rejected almost without a voice in its favour. The Assembly decided on going on with the discussion. The President said that as the amendment of M. Frederick Beetial was the farthest removed from the views of the Committee he should put it to the vote. It was thus worded :—" During the whole duration of their being in the Chamber all public functionaries that might have been elected cannot either exercise their functions or receive any salary. No Member of the National As sembly can be called to any public functions. This was put to the vote and rejected. The President—That of M. berviere declares that "no Member of the National Assembly can, during their sitting in the Chamber, nor for four years after, be invested with public functions."—Rejected. Another, presented by M. Guerin, declaring that " no representative could become a public functionary, or it he were so already, could receive advancement, unless that to which he had a right by his length of service, or in virtue of propositions made in his favour before May, 1848," was also rejected. The articles were then brought forward. Art 1. Declares that " . no Member . of the Assembly tionar or if can become a public tune y, one can obtain advancement d • r the time he holds a seat as repre sentative of the people. During the same period, no public functionary sitting in the Assembly shall receive any salary for active service, hall-pay, or indemnity."— Adopted. M. Rectal propose d to add "and until the next elec tions."—Rejected. M. de Tillancourt brought forward an amendment, "to allow substitutes, who should receive salaries."— Also rejected. " Art. 2. The preceding interdictions are not to apply to the functions of Minister, Secretary of State, Prefect of Police, Mayor of Paris, Commander-in-Chief of the National Guard of the Seine, Procureur-General of the Court of Appeal, and Procureur of the Republic at Paris. However such citizens are invested with these functions, they cannot receive a t the same time the indemnity allowed to representatives. M. Beaumont (de la Somme) proposed " to omit from this list of functionaries the Under-Secretaries of State," en the ground that if they were absent from their office at the same time as the Ministers, the public service must suffer. M. Cremieux supported this amendment. They adopted it, thus declaring that the situations of Under-Secretary of State and that of representative of the people were incompatible. (Left sitting.) Up to post hour no announcement relative to any re signation of the Executive Committee or the Ministers had been made from the tribune. BOURSE.—PARIS, JUNE 14. THREE o'CLocK.—The Bourse was very calm to-day, with a tendency to a rise, but the affairs were very limited. It was currently reported that M. Ledru Rollin had given in his resignation. BUSINESS DONE IN FOREIGN RAILWAYS AT THE LONDON STOCK-EXCHANGE, Jul(' 14. Boulogne and Amiens, 6 1 -i—Namur and Liege, 3 Northern of France, 4 —Sambre and Meuse,4. The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived in town last evening, from his seat, Hickleton Hall, Doncaster. AND THE NORTHERN STATES. PRUSSIA. On the 9th the students and liberals of Berlin gave a serenade to M. ETIENNE ARAGO, the Minister of the French Republic. M. ARAGO was from home at the time, spending the evening with Baron ARNIM, the Minister for Foreign Affairs ; the crowd, how ever, waited until he returned. On descending from his carriage he was loudly cheered. His Excellency addressed the crowd as follows : " I am deeply, profoundly touched by this flattering token of goodwill. I cannot, however, attribute this most honourable mani!estation to any merit of my own. I have done nothing to deserve such an honour. I ac cept it, nevertheless, as addressed to that fine France of which lam the representative. Rest assured that the French people entertain the utmost, the warmest sym pathy for those of Germany. I am sent here to repre sent my Government to your Government. My business is not to interfere is iih the internal arrangements or dis positions of your country, but I do nut hesitate to say, that France desires that whatever may be the nature of these arrangements, she earnestly wishes to establish the clos• st bond of union, fraternity, and peace between you and her. I shall do all in my power to carry out these wishes, and I can assure you that in strectehing forth this hand—(Here M. Arago suited the action to the word) — and in grasping this hand—(Here M. Arago warmly shook an extended hand of a student)—l offer you the honest, sincere, and fraternal grasp of the French people."—(Here bursts of applause, long and loud burst forth amid partial cries of " Vive la Ripublique," " Vive Arago.") M. Arago then renewed his thanks and withdrew, amidst a triple and sturdy hurrah. After singing the Marseillaise the crowd dispersed. The proposed illumination at Potsdam, in honour of the Prince of PRUSSIA, terminated in a partial , display on the part of the officers and their families. The officers of one of the guard regiments also illuminated the statue of FREDERIC WILLIAM 111 This proceeding gave rise to a serious tumult. A mob assembled, and not only insisted upon the lights and garlands being removed, but broke several win dows in the neighbourhood. The Berliners are exceedingly angry with those Members of the National Assembly who supported the Ministry in their opposition to the resolution proposed by BERRENDS, that the combatants on the days of the 18th and 19th March had deserved well of' their country. These Members held a meeting on the 11 th June at which it was unanimously voted that, should the slightest act of violence or intimidation be again attempted, they should propose an address to the KING, to remove the sittings of the Chamber to Erfurt or to the town of Schwedt, on the Oder. This may lead to the most serious consequences. If the removal of the Assembly to any other town were to take place, Berlin would probably proclaim a Re public and nominate a Provisional Government. AUSTRIA. The Allgemeine Zeitung says— " Count Stadion has been here (Vienna) since yes terday, en route for Inspruck, and is occupied in the formation or a new Ministry. The new Cabinet will, it is said, be as follows:—Wessenburg, Foreign Affairs; Stadion, the Interior; Pillersdorff, Finance; Doothoff, Trade and Commerce; Dr. Augustus Bach, Justice; Von Schwarzer, Public Works. It is probable that Wessenberg will be President: to this he seems called both by his antecedents and by the popularity which he justly acquired among the Viennese by his dignified and statesmanlike manifesto of the 3d of June." INsPaucx, JUNE s.—This morning their Imperial Highne-ses the Archdukes ALBRECHT and WILLIAM arrived here unexpectedly from the Italian army. The English and Belgian Ambassadors arrived here the day bore yesterday, and the Swedish Ambas sador last night. Several members of the great Vienna deputation have already arrived, and the re mainder are expected this evening.—Allgemeine Zei tung, June 10. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A letter from Uck, in the duchy of Schleswig- Holstein, dated the 7th, published in the Hamburgh Correspondent, says—" This morning the volunteer corps of Thann attacked the Danes in the rear, having turned their outposts. The Danes, warned of this movement by their spies, immediately opened their fire upon the assailants. The volunteers, how ever, made a charge with the bayonet, and drove back the infantry and a squadron of hussars. The Danes kept up a fire from two cannon, one of which the volunteers gained possession of. A squadron of Danish hussars finding itself thus separated from the main body of the army, a part of it attempted to cut its way through the enemy, but they were all killed The Danes lost thirty men killed, but the number of the wounded is not known. They had twenty-five of their men taken prisoners. The volunteers had one man killed and twenty wounded. "In Galicia the popular mind is in state of fennel]. tation, oc.qtsioned by the attitude of the Government, and the fearful division which exists between the agri cultural classes and the proprietors of the soil and their agents. The peasants attribute the liberty which has been granted them to the Emperor of AUSTRIA alone. It appears, nevertheless, that we may be able to reckon upon the continuance of the ecurity of our frontiers. Should it unhappily prove other wise, the Imperial army, which is concentrated and placed on a footing of war, is a guarantee to us that every attack, from whatever quarter it may arise, will be instantly punished. Foreign journals have asserted that it was a condemnation which gave rise to the revolt. The following is the true version of the case : During the performance of divine service in the Cathedral, where a large congregation was assembled, a person, who was formerly a schoolmaster, raised a call to arms, and endeavoured to effect a rising in favour of the Poles of the Grand Duchy of Posen. Ile was instantly pulled down from the place which be had mounted by the clergy ; not one person per son responded to his call in the midst of that large assembly.—Journal cle la Haye, June 14. ITALY. LOMBARDY. The Provisional Government of Milan has pub lished a proclamation, dated the Bth, announcing that the total number of votes for annexation of Lom bardy to Piedmont was 564,002, against 684 ; and that measures would be immediately taken to obtain the realisation of the annexation from the KING and the Chambers of Turin. The Milan Gazette of the 9th publishes a bulletin of the Bth, stating that the Austrians had sent troops to Legnago, and that contributions had been levied at Bevilacqua, Minerbe, Marega, and Ter razza. Another body had been directed upon Marostica. General DURAND() had sent a strong vanguard to Tiene, and another to Nove, on the right bank of the Brenta, as also the first Roman legion from Padua to Vicenza. The Austrians had ordered lodgings for 5,000 men at Montagnana, From the 23d to the 30th ult. the Alps of the Cadore had been attacked by the Austrians at nine different points, by forces amounting in all to 8,000 men, and 234 prisoners. The head-quarters of the Piedmontese army are at Peschiera. Several divi sions of Piedmontese have moved towards Villafranca, and others to the heights of the left bank of the Lake of Garda. Charles Albert has made many promo tions in the army. The Ferrara Gazette of the sth states that Generals PEPE and FERRARI arrived there on the 4th. A Neapolitan battery of eight pieces and a company of sappers are at Francolino. 1,000 Modenese were stationed at Governolo. HOLLAND. THE HAGUE, JUNE 13.—The important work of the revision of the fundamental law is now completed by the joint labours of the Cabinet Council and the Cabinet of the State, who have been incessantly occu pied in the task assigned to them. His MAJESTY has nearly always been present at some part of the deli berations, and takes the deepest interest in the subject. The new constitution is to be submitted to the States General on the 20th of this month, for which day the Chamber has been convoked. A pro ject of law is to be submitted to the Chamber in their approaching session by the Minister of Justice, for the abolition of capital punishment. Tae law, it is said, is to come in force in three days after its pro promulgation.—Staats Courant, June 14. The following are the modifications introduced into the fundamental law bythe Ministry : " Art. 8, relative to the liberty of the press. " Art. 10, relative to the liberty of meetings. " Arts. 40 and 45, relative to the regency. " Art. 55, relative to the royal prerogative concerning the nomination of the officers. " Art 56, relative to the administration of the colonies. " Arts. 72 to 74, relative to the regulations for the election of the deputies to the first and second chambers of the States General. " Art. 82, relative to the period for which the mem bers of the first Chamber are elected. " Art. 86, relative to incompatibilities. " Art. 117, relative to the composition of the provin cial States. " Art. 132, relative to local administration, and the nomination of the burgomasters. " Art. 160, relative to the income and pensions of the clergy. " Art. 162, relative to religious liberty. " Arts. 33, 105, 121, and 202 of the fundamental law, have, it appears, been introduced into the present. The Members of the first Chamber shall be elected for the term of nine years, a third part to go out, and to be re placed every three years. The Members shall be re eligible. The King is to have the prerogative of nomi nating the President of the first Chamber, as well as of the burgomasters. - - AMSTERDAM, JUNE 13.—THE BOURSE.—lnland funds have declined; the Commercial Company's shares keep up.

The St. Petersburgh Gazette of the 26th May con tains an ukase permitting all foreign ships to enter the port of Archangel during the shipping season of 1848 1849, freighted with tiles and ballasted in 1848 with freestone. The Augsburg Gazette states, from Vienna, under date of the 6th, that the Russians have crossed the Pruth, on the frontier of Bessarabia ; and that Baro STURMER, the Austrian Minister at Constantino has protested warmly against this movement. POLAND. A private letter from 'Warsaw contains the fol lowing : " Order and tranquillity now prevail on our fron tiers in the Grand Duchy of Posen. The insurrec tion was in a great measure repressed by the Prussian troops. The scattered remains of the old bands again give themselves up to plunder. A very large assemblage had been fixed upon just on the line of limitation, but the sight of our troops made the plunderers desist from their plan of violating our territory. " Since the bombardment of Cracow, provoked by the rising of the populace against the Austrian army, order has been again established in that city. NAPLES. The Epoca of Rome, of the sth, states from Naples, that the Ministers had presented a programme to the KING, and their resignation in case he should not accept it. The conditions were—the dismissal of the Swiss, the re-organization, as before, of the National Guards, the convocational of the Chambers with the same deputies, and compete oblivion of the past. A thousand Sicilians, the vanguard of 6,000 more, had entered Calabria. Lecce, Potenza, Cosenza, and Teramo had already constituted their Provisional Governments. EGYPT. The Allgemeine Zeitung, in a letter from Cairo, makes mention of a very large levy of troops by IBRAHIM PACLIA, the Regent of Egypt. It is known that by existing treaties the Egyptian army must not exceed 18,000 men, but it is now actually .50,000. The recruiting of the fellahs is attended with fearful cruelties. It is not easy to account for the extraordinary preparations, and various causes are assigned ; among other reasons given is, that an inva sion is apprehended by 25,000 English from the coast of Aden. It is, however, suspected that false pre texts are assigned, in order to cover the actual plan of InaAttim, who is resolved to take advantage of a moment when nearly all the European powers will be occupied in the maintenance of order in their own states, for throwing off the sovereignty of the Otto man Porte, and making Egypt independent. The health of MEHEMET ALI continues extremely feeble. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. We have received files of papers from Adelaide to the 6th of February. The Royal Archer and Success, emigrant vessels from England, arrived at Adelaide on the 28th of January. The first-named vessel sailA from Lon don on the 231 Sept€mber, the latter from Plymouth on the 29th of the same month. They took out 245 emigrants. We extract the following from the South Australian Register of the 2d of February : In our last issue we inertly contributed to the pub licity of the flourishing financial condition of South Australia, and, for certain very sufficient reasons, we shall not do much more on the present occasion. A revenue of nearly 68,0001., raised with unexampled fa cility from amongst a population not much exceeding 30,000 souls. presents i❑ its aggregate and details mat ter 'or calculation and reflection, as well as for exults tion ; and in our next or succeeding number we shall endeavour to do full justice to the subject in its seve ral important bearings. In locking over the Customs returns, we find that within the quarterly period so lately ended, duties to the amount of more than 6,0001. are included under the comprehensive but rather unsatisfactory term of other goods.' We do not expect details from an official restricted to particular and concise forms, as is the Auditor-General, perhaps, but we think it is not too much to expect from the Customs department a consecutive explanation relative to so large an amount of import duty levied upon Eng lish merchandise, and foreign or colonial productions other than spirits, wines, and tobacco, and implying ex ceedingly large importations with which the public cannot be too well acquainted!'

The Globe of last night gave the following official contradiction to the statement which appeared in The Sun of last evening, relative to the departure of the Spanish Ambassador:— " It is not true • that M. Isturitz, the Spanish Ambas sador, had received notice from the British Government that his passports were made out, and that his departure would be expected to take place in 48 hours.' " It is not true that any declaration of war is intended against Spain. "It is not true that an expedition will immediately be fitted out against Cuba, and that the unliquidated debt from Spain to British subjects will be put torward as a casus belii. The intention of Government will probably be announced in Parliament to-morrow night.'" Our readers will observe that this official contra diction is drawn up as cautiously as if it were an affidavit. The writer is asserting by the card. Now for the fact. The Morning Herald of this day con tains the following:-- His Excellency the Spanish Minister, M. Isturitz, left London last evening, for Madrid. We understand, and indeed there is not the least doubt but we are correct, that, after repeated interviews between M. Isturitz and Viscount Palmerston, on Tues day evening M. Isturitz received a final communication from the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and, in compliance with the contents of such, M. Isturitz has taken his departure for Madrid within thirty-six hours. The Count de Mirasol, after making overtures!h t hrou gh the Spanish Minister, did not gain a n y recognition r_oni Viscount Palmerston or the Go vernment, and, after several ineffectual advances on behalf of his Govern ment, the Count left London last Friday ev ening for for understandSpai n are.

Urbiztondo, are the only persons left at tached to the Legation, and that preparations are made for their departure within the present week. His Excellency M. Isturitz left the Legation at eight o'clock last evening, and proceeded by the South-pastern Railway to Folkstone. en routs to Madrid. We have it on good authority to say that M. Isturitz, up to the last hour, experienced the most courteous and respectful attention from Viscount Palmerston, and from every member of her Majesty's Government ; but the recent acts of the Spanish Government had afforded so many o pportunities of disagreement thati M. Isturitz conceived it a duty to return as speedily as possible after the intimation given by the British Government. The following is from the Morning Chronicle : DEPARTURE OF HIS EXCELLENCY SEN,,R ISTURTIZ.— His Excellency the Spanish Minister, M.

MOORE.—JUDGMENT. this The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment today in •- case, which was argued toewre him a short time sine upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chancel lor o f England, upon an application made to him to open tain accounts, which by a former decree, made in 1845' had been treated as settled. The plaintiff was the so il of a gentleman possessed of certain property m Shror shire, in which he had taken a life estate by devise. The plaintiff had encumbered his interest, and eVeut mortgages to the defendant, who acted as his solicitor; The accounts had been taken in the suit, and the„ ee° in support of the application to have fresh accouelet taken, was that the relation of solicitor and el' e e i c i which existed between the parties had beer! to be a sufficient circumstance to warrant the C° : ll ', in opening settled accounts.
