'Morning .. 9 min. after 3 I Evening b 0 miu. after 3 A nonrne THIERS has spoken—not upon sympathy 'or Royalty, but upon hatred- for Communism—not upon generosity towards the dynastic refugees, but upon the falsity of what is called the organization of labour. The .oration delivered by the Honourable Representative from the tribune of the National Assembly, during the sitting of Wednesday, has about it something more of the character of a mani festo than the speech in which he advocated the personal rights of the Count DE NEUILLY. We examine the report of his harangue with something more of curiosity than that which we vouch safed to his affected comments upon the vicissi tudes of the dethroned SOVEREIGN. M. TRIERS has spoken, and his language is certainly characterised by the keenness of the logician. In the intonation of his sentences you can almost detect a reminiscence of the Chamber of Deputies. M. Teneas endeavours to dogmatise with the emphasis of a party leader—he casts back a glance of retro spection to his past labours in the science of admini stration—he strives to inspire himself with a presen timent of the speedy renewal of his authority. He is so absorbed in the anticipations of power, that he for gets the circumspection which is essential beyond all things in the tribune of a senate — he falsifies the description of M. DE CORMENIN his agility is no longer that of the squirrel— the splendour of his intellectual dyes has no longer a resemblance to the plumage of the peacock—the sheen of his imeginaticn is no longer marked by those dazzling, fluctuations of brightness which have been likened by neon to the shifting hues of the silver pheasant. M. TRIERS forgets the statesman in the place-hunter. He fails to astonish even his opponents into admiration by a repetition of his extraordinary feats as a political acrobat. He pulverizes Socialism under the pressure of his anathemas, he laughs to scorn the frivolous ideology of N. Pacounuom, he blows away with the breath of his derision the Sibyl lire leaves of PIEURE LEROUM—he does all this, it is true, but he also blunders into a quarrel with the most violent devotees of Republicanism. It is scarcely possible to read the interruptions vOiich chequer the speech of M. TRIERS without leughing outrie,ht at the stupidity with which he has fallen into the trap laid for him by the ultra demo crats. He has not only allowed himself to be drawn into a very inopportune collision with his antagonists, but he has been provoked into the greatest error that can be committed by a politician—he has lost his temper. Among the smart sayings and repartees which floated to and fro between himself and M. FLOCON we almost expected to hear the 'Lu Quoque of the classic slang of JUVENAL. or the You're another of the Cockney vulgarity of PIERCE EGAN. M. FLOCON affected in dignation so inimitably that he heated the orator into an ebullition of rage. Having alluded in terms of ab horrence to those whom he designated " the factious," N. TRIERS was interrupted by an explosion of dis approbation. " Dare you name those whom you qualify as factious ?" cried a voice from the Gauche. " I apply the term to no person in particular," re plied the orator. " The orator does not apply the expression to any one in this Assembly," remarks the President. No, repeats M. TRIERS, "Je ne rapplique personne, I apply it to no one person." Not dans eette enceinte—buti simply "Je ne l'applique a per- SCMISt." The reservation is obvious, and M. Feocoef exclaims with some bitterness—" The Royalists are the really factious—Les factieur sold les Royalists !" In another part of the harangue there is a significant clamour in which the name of MANUEL becomes audible, and M. FLOCON reminds the, orator of the "Laws of September." We say little as to the decency of these interruptions, but with whatever sentiments the outcries may be regarded, it is manifest that there is some dan ger in the tardiness with which M. TRIERS and his party have given in their adhesion to the Republic ; only, in fact, when the Republican regime proved that it possessed a physical predominance. It cannot very readily be forgotten that on the very day which witnessed the inauguration of the National Assembly, when the Representatives rose with a shout, and, lifting their right hands in the air, swore fidelity to the Republic—N. ODILLON BARROT continued for some moments sulkily upon his bench, and was only induced at last by vociferations to join reluctantly in the movement. These little occurrences cannot be overlooked, for they have their significance. And, however much M. TRIERS may protest against the revival of these old cries of Royalism, it is impossible that a recollection of facts of such peculiar prominence can be lost in a few days by thirty millions of citizens. CARET may be dan gerous, and so may RASPAIL, and Paounnos, and BLANQUI ; and Relines, and ALRERT ; and Louis BLANC, and CAU 88IDIERE ; and PIERRE LEROUX ; but we feel also that there is, to say the least of it, a necessity for vigilance towards THIERS ; the man; who endeavoured to bribe the people of February by a talk about " Reform" as he crossed the end of the barricade on his way to the Tuileries; towards ODILLON BARROT, who shrunk, as we have already observed, from the embraces of the Republic even at a moment when the whole nation had pronounced the eternal abolition of royalty ; towards MOLE, who still dreams of a Regency, and towards Evens DE GIRARDIN, whose allegiance is pledged sub rem to the object of his bastard affections, the old Orleans dynasty. France feels that, and hence, in the fervour of her republicanism, she watches with an observant eye the every act of these men. For this reason we cannot but think that the rhetorical wrestling in which N. TRIERS has indulged with the Ultra-Democrats is calculated, not so much to injure his popularity, which is just now a matter of very small consideration, but to impede the arrival of those days which might have witnessed its restoration. ---- A GREAT COMMERCIAL QUESTION.-A traflesman is curious to know whether the fact of a gentleman answhaving tie IN may n o t h ave something to do with the er heo invariably gives of N OT I N, w h en any one calls upon him with a bill?--Punch.

Some excitement prevailed yesterday in conse quence of rumours of an alarming character which kad been circulated respecting the state of Ireland It was reported that a new insurrection bad broken out in the vicinity of Carrick-on-Suir ; that a formid able body of rebels had formed an encampment on some of the surrounding hills ; that a police station had been attacked at Portlaw ; that Curraghtnore had been attacked and plundered of a considerable quan tity of arms, including seven or eight swivel guns, which had been taken to the principal station on Slievenamon mountain ; that the mail coach from Dublin to Waterford had been detained a considerable time, while a large body of rebels were blowing up a bridge crossing the Suir, with the view of impeding the progress of the troops that might be dispatched to the attack ; that the formidable Do- MUM, accompanied by his lulus Achates, a gentleman who rejoices in the euphonious name of " 0‘2,1A.• MONT," were in command of the rebel troops, the latter attired in a green and:gold uniform of the most gorgeous description, while the " General " himself was performing, for the amusement of his delighted followers, feats of strength and agility that would en title him to an eligible engagement at Astley's, in the event of his descending from his high estate to a more humble position—exhibiting, in fact, specimens of "physical force " of the most attractive character. Many of our provincial brethren gave currency to these rumours, and by no means diminished their effects by any expressions of doubt or hesitation with respect to their full and perfect authenticity. Every thing assumed the most portentous aspect, and it might have been presumed that the present out break was much more formidable than the premature rising which was so promptly and completely sup pressed by a handful of police under the command of Sub-Inspector LEANT, at liotlagh Common, some eight or ten weeks ago. Fortunately, however, for• the public tranquillity any intelligence from the " seat of war" in Ireland is now regarded with considerable suspicion. It is known that even if the statements should not be pure inventions, but should be in some degree " founded upon facts," so many embellishments and exaggerations would be added in the course of their progress, that but few traces of the original would re. main when they reached the British or even the Irish metropolis. The circumstantial Accounts were ac- cordingly received CUM gratio mils ; and although the funds were slightly depressed in consequence, k was not to any groat extent, one quarter per cent tieing the greatest change that occurred at any period The accounts that have since been received prove that this eaution was fully justified, and go far to establish that the movement which took place was re ran agrarian than of a political character, that its object was to olstainan increased rate of wages for the quarry men, miners, and other labourers in the dis. triet, rather than to lead to b any change in the govern ment of the country ; t obtain employment and pro visions for the populatioon°ra her than to dethrone our most Gracious SoveamxainGirireoltrat.tio establish an Irish Republic.

Something connected a with the land question might also probably have formed the subject of their deliberations. They, however, appear to have dispersed almost as speedily I as they had assembled, and without waiting for any attack from the troops, or even any notice from per sons in authority. Even the Riot Act was not read in order to hasten their separation. Thera s not the slightest reason either to suppose DONE244* or o'lll..utoNr were with them, . or that glosaseslouhled personages w ere in any other position than that of fugitives, evading, by every possible means, the close pursuit] which the large reward offered for the apprehension of the former had occasioned. The " tours de force" of the former, his springing over four or five horses, appear to be equally without foundation. The attack on Curraghmore, the residence of the Marquis of WATURFORD, is also wholly uncorrobo rated. It appears that some alarm was entertained lest some attack might take place during the absence of the Noble Marquis at the Curragh races, and that the Marchioness, who had remained at home, had made every preparation to give a warm reception to any assailants that might venture to lead the forlorn hope in so dangerous an enterprise. The house it appears is strongly fortified, and a well trained and duly organized band, with abun dance of arms and ammunition, maintain a constant watch, that would render it certain that the sacking of their stronghold would be a work of time and diffi culty which could not be effected until the military at Waterford and in the neighbouring stations had re ceived full notice of the siege, and had ample time to move to the rescue. In this instance, therefore, we may venture to proneunce the reports to be altogether untrue. THE FRE PUBLIC. bling together of the insurgents, and was condemned to imprisonment for one year. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The speech of M. TRIERS on the right of labour is the great event of the day, on which all the papers comment, and they all without exception, friends as well as foes, admit that it was one of the most elo quent and brilliant rhetorical displays ever offered to the attention of a deliberative assembly. M. VICTOR CONSIDERANT, who undertook the defence of So cialism against M. THIERS, demanded permission to speak for four consecutive days in reply to the speech of M. TRIERS, which had lasted about half the number of hours, and was of course refused. The President, M. MARRAsx, reminded M. CONSIDERANT that the National Assembly was a legislative body, convoked for the purpose of making laws, and not a class assembled to listen to the lectures of a peda gogue. The following is a summary of M. Lama speech : M. Thiers said, that he and his friends attached the greatest importance to the constitution. They had not desired nor founded the Republic; they accepted it loy ally and sincerely. In the eyes of every honest man and every good citizen a legal government was entitled to respect. They had neither flattered nor betrayed mo narchy; and they should neither flatter nor betray the Republic. They would tell it the truth. They had never conspired, and never would conspire. The instrument with which they wished to effect the happiness of their country being broken, they would continue the work under the Republic. They desired the welfare and grandeur of France, a national policy, and they would pursue the realization of those objects in the future as they had in the past. The question before the Assem bly was not a mere question of political economy—it was a social question. It was not enough to ridicule the old science; if the Socialists had anything but dangerous generalities to expound, any secret to disclose, they would be guilty no t t o proc l a i m i t f rom the tribune. In the name of society in peril, he sum moned them to make known their remedies. He had listened to them with the attention they merited, and hitherto he had found nothing serious, nothing new, in their doctrines. Society rested on property, liberty, and competition. Its principle was labour, without which man would be the most miserable of beings, and society itself plunged into misery. God and society told man, "Work, work, and you will receive the reward of your labour. The produce of your toil shall be your patri mony and that of your children." And man laboured to the end of his life supported by that consolatory as surance. The prosperity of a country was to be judged from the more or less respect enjoyed by property. In the East, where that respect least existed, the soil was neglected, because it was must exposed to the rapacity of despotism; it was abandoned to slaves. Trade alone was there in honour, because capital was more easily screened from rapacity. Where property was respected, the land recovered its importance, in dustry flourished, usury disappeared, and money was abundant. By liberty he (M. Thiers) did not mean political, he meant social liberty, which allowed a man to choose his profession. The old society told man, " Labour; if you are skilful you willbecomo rich; if not, you will be poor; labour, at your risks aid perils." It explained to him the laws of contract. Some men suc ceeded, because they were more highly gifted than others or favoured by circumstances, some who were rich be came poor, and vice versa. As to competition, M. Thiers maintained that it was not the people who suffered by it. The operative had been better paid since the introduc tion of machinery; he was no longer a beast of burden, he was more comfortably clothed, and had benefited in many other respects by the improvements introduced in industry. If an inquiry was ordered by the Assembly, it would be found that ho advanced nothing lightly. The workmen in the vicinity of Paris who earned, in 1814, 24 and 30 sous a day, now gained 40. In many branch, s of industry the salaries had doubled and trebled. On the other hand, the price of the articles of manufacture indispensable to the working classes had considerably diminished. Cotton goods were 80 per cent. cheaper, cloth 40 per cent.; and lodgings alone had increased in the propor tion of 90 to 120 ; but it was in conse quence es' the tendency of the manufacturers to establish themselves close to the great centres of population. (The accurecy of these statements was repeatedly contested by the Ultra-Republican Members ; and M. Thiers, amidst the noise occasioned by those interruptions, having pronounced the word " faction," the greatest con fusion arose, and one of the Montagnards called him a Royalist. When silence was restored, M. 'Thiers re sumed his discourse.) The Hon. Member showed that the cotton manufactures of France had increased be tween 1835 and 1845, from 35,000,000 kilogrammes to 65,000,000 ; that the 35,000,000 of kilogrammes cost, in 1835, 630,000,000 f., whilst the price of the 65,000,000 in 1843 was only 650.000,000 f. The salary of the work men, in the same interval, had augmented from 330 f. to 400 f. M. Thiers then proceeded to examine the doc trines of the four Socialist sects. The first, the Com munists, said he, denied the right of property, and, consequently, of liberty. Should their doctrines prevail, they would create an idle and slavish society. No man would labour for tho community. A patriot was ready to die, but not to work for the country. The second system, that of asvociation, was characterised by M. Thiers as anarchy in industry and monopoly. He next referrt d to the system of M. Proudhon, who wished to create cheapness, and began by proposing that a law be passed to effect a reduction of 25 per cent. in all property, salaries, &c., and his object would then be attained. Those were tire pitiful schemes of which their authors were so proud and with which they imagined to reform the world ! The right to labour was net less absurd. The partisans of that right only sought to remedy the condition of the operatives in the towns, who were to the country operatives as 1 to 36. When the workmen should come to claim labour from the State, how could the latter employ them ? It could not employ them in manufacturing silk, lace, jewellery ; it ought to open national workshops, where the silk weavers and jewellers would be emplo3 ed in works which, not being familiar to them, must of course be unproductive. The State would be often obliged to propose to them to expatriate themselves, to proceed to Brittany, Normandy, Africa; and everybody knew how such a proposition had been re sponded to by the insurgents of June. If that right was inscribed in the Constitution, its full execution would be insisted upon by the unemployed labourer. The State could only give him wherewith to enable him to live, and he would demand, in virtue of that right, the wages he was accustomed to earn. "Remember," exclaimed M. Thiers, " the 14th article of the Charter of the Restora tion, and beware of arming our new Sovereign with an other 14th article." In conclusion he stated that, if the systems proposed were to be realised, the indigent popu lation would be the only and real sufferers ; that, if the property of those who were called rich was to be sold, its proceeds /mold not amount to one year's revenue ,of France, and, as the classes the Socialists intended to re lieve would be the first and only victims, he appealed to the humanity and justice of the Assembly not to inscribe ee T e eT debate e i e h r a s t e t pr h pi e one n nea d ert e h s Lf c er e oo n run a d i : e s hdt NAPOLEON r etA o e p m laL t h h ße e Ou i revelationsbiwus esao. the right to labour on th e C onst i tution. n f t a n d gt e ha a iel n w a y : e l ,f j o ar u lme r t n w ed toh . aaldt pa has been, a tool of R uss i a, who, if elected President, would be what CHARLES X . was, as King, Vice roy of the Northern AUTOCRAT.

W e have in all this smug gled diplomacy put Prin ce L ou i s i n the background,although he appears by th e p resence of his agent. Wo have the evidence of his handwriting, which was taken from the luggage of M. do —. "Tell me,' positively writes Prince Louis on the 2d of May, 1839, if Charles expects to receive a latter concerning me from Leonard.' "Leonard is not, therefore, a person unknown to his Imperial Highness. As to Charles, the intermediat e correspondent, he is no other than Charles Durand, then editor of the Capitole, and formerly editor of the Journal de Fran/fort, a paper said to have been in the pay of the Emperor Nicholas. His name is printed in full. "Prince Louis again writes on the 22d May:— " lam very happy at the co-operation of which you have been assured, and I beg you to thank Charles for the zeal he has shown. I see with pleasure his letter to Orloff; I sent it off immediately.' " On the 14th August he writes : " ' lam pleased to see that your efforts have already had a commencement of success with Leonard. His antecedents (to Charles), which are useful to me if they have the appearance of being independent of me, but are injurious if thought to be dictated by me. A great power who adopts me exalts me ; but for me to adopt a foreign alliance, it would ruin me.' "' He who knows not how to dissemble knows not how to reign,' and Prince Louis is well:acquainted with this maxim. Look with what precaution he acts. All the letters pass through his hands. He is pleased with the secretary, but he fears his antecedents ; he would not have his connexion with him known. It is necessary to obtain the support of Russia, without appearing per sonally to solicit it.:A great power who adnpts exalts. If it were suspected ho would be lost. It is no less a farce than that played with the faubourgs. "It appears that the answers are sent in a no less mysterious manner. We find a letter of M. de which begins thus—' The same young man who had previously called on my friend says that the letters from Russia were still in your power.' " We have only wished to re-establish in its integrity a fact which we had not before taken sufficient notice of —the alliance of his Imperial Highness with the foreigner. We wished to show that this superb Prince, who treated with such contempt the revolutionary scum of the fauboures, cringed, through his subordinates, to the guardianship of a power which had dethroned his uncle,ls the authenticity th e sat i h t ic ie l had iityof thelinvadedletters and ransomed t ers of Prince his Louis country.eeny: tested? Let it be declared, but until that is done, we shall have the right to warn our fellow citiz'ns against the candidateship of a pretender adopted by Russia." The trial of M. PINED GRAND CHAMP, a surgeon residing in the Faubourg St. Marceau, and mairo of the arrondissement, who was charged with taking an active part in the insurrection of June, was brought to a conclusion on Wednesday. He was acquitted on the count charging him with having been guilty of an attempt to destroy the Government and to give over the capital to massacre, devastation, and pillage, but found guilty of having, during the course of the insurrection, encouraged and facilitated ; the ;assem• Great complaints are made that unfair means are 1 being resorted to for the purpose of coercing the votes of the military during the approaching election, or of depriving them virtually of the right of suffrage. Several soldiers of one of the regiments stationed in Paris have addressed the following letter to the editor of the _Reform on this subject : " Monsieur le Redacteur,—The revolution of Febru ary admitted and proclaimed our rights as citizens—we who were only soldiers before that immortal event. The Thpublic, in taking for its motto those sublime words— ' Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity,' has admitted us to the banquet of political life, where fresh duties await us; for the first time our voices are to be counted—we are going to choose those who will discharge the debt of the past. If we have not been able to prevent the elec tion of certain men, the born adversaries of the people, as sincere and devoted Republicans we shall, at least, have protested; but this right—the right of Universal Suffrage, purchased with the blood of our brethren, has not delayed becoming, at least in our regiment, com pletely illusory, the manner in which things are ma naged rendering the exercise of it virtually impossible. " Be assured, Citizen Editor, that this has deeply grie►ed us; we, therefore, protest, through the medium of your journal, and point out the following facts:— " 1. We only heard accidentally of the day of the election, and when we did hear of it it had terminated; when we went to our superior officer to complain, we were told that the elections wore all over: On observ ing to him that we had only just come off guard, and that more than sixty voters for the department of the Seine had thus been unable to exercise their right of voting, we were told that a time should be fixed for our doing so, since which we have heard nothing more of it. ,6 2. W e have today taken fresh steps by applying to the sub-officer, who is the scrutineer. He replied that we annoyed him; in other words, he sent us about our business. " We will further remark that the Members of the bureaux were not properly chosen, and were chosen without our consent. " We submit these facts to your judgment, persuaded that you will do all that is possible to preserve rights so dearly acquired by our glorious revolution of February. ___ The mail-coach was certainly stopped for a short time at Granagh-bridge, a short distance from the town of Waterford, but no mischief was done beyond a delay of about an hour; and as to the attack on the police station, it appears to have been merely for the purpose of plunder, it being supposed that the small body quartered at the out station had effected their escape, leaving their property behind, which could be obtained without risk or trouble. A few shots from the small but gallant and determined party speedily dissipated this illusion, and dispersed the plunderers, one of the assailants remaining wounded on the field. This appears to be the extent of the disturbances about which so much has been said; and although it is distressing to find that such a spirit is extant in the country, and that bodies of even two hundred men, some of them armed, can be got to assemble to gether and make such illegal demonstrations, there is nothing to excite any well-founded alarm in the most timid mind, or to lead to the supposition that Tipperary is in a more disturbed state than has been the case for many years past. "Health and Fraternity. " May God preserve the Republic. (Signed) " The Soldiers of the —of the Line. " Paris, Sept. 12, 1848." "These facts," observes the Reforme, " are serious, and call for a serious inquiry, which we demand. It would, in fact, be better to suppress the right of the army than to thus stifle it by a denial of justice and by hypocrisy. " We have had other facts brought to our knowledge on the subject of the elections, which we publish without reserve. On Sunday the sergeant-majors received orders to prepare the bulletins for their subordinates, and to inscribe on them before their distribution the name of Marshal Bugeaud. Several soldiers refused to vote, not seeing themselves free in their choice. In seve ral arrondissements, and principally in the 2d and Bth, every demand for inscription has been refused since the 7th inst. In the 2d arrondissement more than 3,000 re fusals of this kind have been pointed out." Some of the journals having stated that a spirit of discontent and insubordination had manifested itself among a few of the soldiers stationed at the Ecole Militare, on account of the substitution of bisciut for bread in the rations, the 11-Eniteur Soir contains an explanation on the subject of the biscuits given out in lieu of bread for snaking soup, saying that it was true that the soldiers at the Ecole Militaire cried out against the supposed innovation under mistaken impressions, that were explained, and the matter set to rights. In consequence of the dispute existing between the master builders and their workmen, on ;the subject of the hours of labour, M. Ducoux, the Prefect of Police, has issued a proclamation, stating that the law of the Assembly has not at all altered customs established in trades anterior to the 2d March last. That when before that date the custom was to work a less number of hours than twelve, that custom is still in force, for the new law only prohibits the working for more than twelve hours. A new candidate has started for Paris in the person of Admiral DUpETIT THOUARS. Count D'ALTON S HEE has retired in favour of the Socialist candidates, and it is said that negotiations are going on for the retirement of M. RASPAIL in favour of Louis NAPO• LEON BONAPARTE. Both Orleanists and Legitimists have united to support Marshal BUGEAUD, who is said to have made his peace with the Bourbon Pre tender of the elder branch, and to have written him a most penitent letter. The Marshal, moreover, hath indited a most gunpowder letter to the electors of Paris, in which he expresses his ardent desire to fight everybody everywhere. There is to be a grand fete on the 22d inst., the anniversary of the foundation of the first Republic. The debate on the right to labour was resumed yesterday, and, to the astonishment of every one, M. BILLAULT made a furious attack upon M. THIERS, and r e energetically uem advocated th e C ommunist view of the qM. DE LA IIARTINE followed, and de ca opposed to th e acknowledgement of question. to sn. ef the right to labour. Ultimately the amendment of M. MATHIEU DE LA DROME was withdrawn, and M GLASS BIGOIN was left proposing an amendment which recognizes the right of existence by labour, and to assistance in distress.

Madrid journals of the Bth have arrived. The Gazette contains a decree enacting that the ssue, payment, and paying off of bank notes shall be conducted by a separate establishment of the Bank of San Fernando, under a special board of direction'. that in that department ithere shall be an office' specially charged to pay in specie the notes which may be presented; that the amount of notes to be continued in circulation shall not for the present ex ceed 500,000,000 reals ; that those now exceeding that amount which may be brought in shall be an nulled by being accepted in payment of the forced loan or the Customs duties, or being paid in specie that 100,000 reals in specie and good securities shal be deposited in the new branch as security for all the notes in circulation ; that the notes of the Bank shall be everywhere received in payment of taxes, &c. ; that the public treasury shall maintain constantly a quantity of specie equal to a third of the amount of the notes in circnlation, and to have the other two thirds in good securities easily realised ; and that no increase in the above fixed amount of notes ( 500 ,000,000 reals) to be in circulation shall take place without a corresponding increase in the securi ties to be deposited. This decree produced a good effect in commercial circles; the discount on bank notes fell to 2i per cent., and it was believed the notes would soon be at par. Some political arrests had been effected. A Montemolinist and Republican conspiracy had been discovered and put down at Saragossa.

The Alba, of Florence, of the 6th instant, publishes the following letter, addressed by a native of Venice to the advocate PANATONNI at Florence :—" If you believe that (the resistance of Venice will serve the cause of Italian independence, the people and the Governments of the Peninsula must aid us with money, which at present is our most pressing want. With that assistance we might hold out for a long time. It would be a disgrace to Italy to suffer liberty to perish for want of money. Let the mag nanimous Tuscany, therefore, give the example." The Austrian Lloyd's, under date of Trieste, Sept. 6th, says.--" This afternoon, at two o'clock, the war steamer Maria Dorotea anchored here, having on board the courier Chevalier MATTASZEWAKY, with dispatches from Field Marshal Baron Wimpy( to the Sardinian Rear-Admiral.

The Ministerial crisis still continues. In the sit ting of the Assembly, of the 11th inst., the President, AIIERSWALD, opened with a declaration relative to the sitting of the 7th, in consequence of which the Members have requested his MAJESTY to accept their resignation. The PRESIDENT then read his MAJESTY'S reply, which is as follows : " I fully concur in the views expressed by you in your report of the 9th of this month, that unless the principles therein laid down be maintained, the consti tutional monarchy cannot exist. I shall, nevertheless, accord to you upon the grounds which you have stated your desired dismission from office. Until the formation of a new Ministry, you will have to continue your office.

The PRESIDBNT continued, "I have further to inform you that the deputy of the German National As sembly, M. VON BECKERATII, has been summoned to his MAJESTY, and I request the Assembly to suspend their sittings for a definite period." The report of the 9th, alluded to in the above reply of the KING, is the official report in which the Minis ters tender their resignation, and in which they pro test the necessity of upholding the principle v6hich they advocated in the National Assembly, viz., "that the right to decree administrative measures does not belong to that Assembly." Construing the adverse vote of the National Assembly as an obvious want of confidence, the Ministers despair of the possibility of maintaining this principle, and ask, on that plea, for their dismissal.

The King would then become a member of the Germanic Conf'ed.:ration in his capacity of Duke of Sou:horn Schleswig, as well as in his capacity of Duke of Hol stein; and Southern Schleswig would, like Holstein, form part of the territory of the Germanic Confedera tien, and the sovereignty of Southern Schleswig would follow the same lino of succession as the sovereignty of Holstein. " On the other hand, Northern Schleswig would be at tached by its law of succession to the Crown of Denmark, and the sovereignty of that duchy would be inseparably united with the Danish Crown. " Secondly, if this arrangement should not be deemed expedient, the Duchy of Schleswig might remain entire and undivided, such as it now is ; it might continue to be administered as it has been, by an Administration established for Schleswig and Holstein jointly ; and .there might also be provincial States, in which the re presentatives of the two duchies would be essemblied to gether in their proper respective proportions. In this case the King of Denmark would remain as he now is, a member of the Germanic Confederation, in his capa city of Duke of Holstein, but he would not become a member of the Confederation in his capacity of Duke of Schleswig. "No change would in this case be made in the law of succession in Schleswig." The following is the correspondence between the Prussian Ministry and that of the Archduke REGENT. On the sth August, on the part of Prussia, M. CAMPIIAUSEN demands of the REGENT--. "That the Provisional Central Power should enable his Majesty's Government to take an independent posi tion in the negotiations with Denmark, and that powers be given to his Majesty's Government to act according to circumstances, to complete the negotiations, and to con clude the armistice without any reservation whatsoever. The negotiations would then be based, act on the first draught of the Malinii armistice, but on the latter draught of the propositions of Bellevue. The essential points of the latter should be taken into the convention, while the non -essentials might be subject to some modi fications." The Prince of LEININGEN, on the Gth, replies as follows : ' "In consideration of the peculiar nature of the cir• cumstances as set forth by your Excellency, the Regent, acting by the advice of his council, has been pleased to execute a deed granting powers, such ass the Prussian Government desires, for the conclusion of an armistice with Denmark on the tJasis of the draught of Bellevue of the 19th of July, and ander the condition that the ex planatory and supplementary articles contaimed in the said draught have the express recognition of the Govern ment of his Majesty of Denmark. " Under this presumption alone can the Imperial Cabinet take the responsibility of that armistice upon themselves." A diplomatic note was received on the 10th, by M. CAMPIIAUSEN, from the Danish Commissioners, de claring the readiness of the Danish Government to consent to such modifications in the armistice as would secure the peace of the duchies. In the sitting of the 11th the Parliament decided that two or three of the most important articles of the constitution should be discussed, carried, and pro claimed as law at once, reserving the rest for a more lengthy discussion. M. DAULWANN has been unable to form a Ministry and the task has been entrusted to M. HERMANN, of Munich, the leader of the Left Centre. SCHLESWIG-HOLS WIG-HOLSTEIN. The North German papers state that the Prince FitZDERICH of Schleswig-Holstein, Sonderburg, Augustenburg, has resigned his post as Commander of the Schleswig-Holstein troops, and that Count BANDISSIN has been appointed to the vacant place. The retirement of the German troops from the duchies continues uninterruptedly.
