Two iaipoitant subjects last week occupied the a tt en ti o n of the National Assembly of P rance — t h e proposed abolition of the Legion of Honour, and the prosecution of M. LOUIS BLANC. The discussion with regard to the Cross of the Legion has been postponed, but that respecting the prosecution of Louis &Alec has been brought to a summary and somewhat unexpected conclusion. After the Com- THE SON, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING,_ JUNE 5, 1448. mittee of Inquiry, by a majority of 15 to 3, had ap proved of the proposed prosecution by the Pro • I cureur-General, the National Assembly, after a most animated and violent altercation, have re fused to authorise such a prosecution by a majority of 369 to 837. M. Louis BLANC is thus ac quitted without a trial I The whole proceedings of the Assembly in regard to this matter have been of a very extraordinary and somewhat undignified character, perhaps the natural consequence of the peculiar circumstances of the case, and of the inte rested feelings of many of the speakers. The discus sion of Saturday was strong and violent in the extreme, and the speaking was evidently not confined to the tribune. Violent altercations agitated the body of the Chamber, and in the midst of the con fusion the voice of the President was heard in vain. It is said that in his desperate efforts to restore order, the august bead of the Assembly addressed himself particularly to various indi viduals with the Parliamentary adjuration of " Taisez vous done r'—the equivalent English of which expression, " Hold your tongue I" would produce an extraordinary effect if uttered in our House of Com mons by the Right Hon. SUAW Lsrevan. Silence being restored, the Assembly shortly afterwards, not withstanding the contrary desire of M. Louis BLANC himself, proceeded to divide upon the question, as to whether or not the Assembly should authorise the Procureur- General to proceed with his prosecution. The result of this division was a majority of " noes,' and the prosecution is accordingly interdicted. An other of the extraordinary features of this extraordi nary affair was the fact of all the Ministers except one (M. BASTIPE) voting in opposition to the law officers of the Government. Doubtless the late col leagues of M. Louis BLANC were animated with a certain esprit de corps which incline them in his favour,' or perhaps a feeling of magnanimity prompted their forbearance towards a fallen foe. The law officers, however, did not view the Ministerial con duct in a favourable light, and the Procureur-General, and the Procureur of the Republic, have tendered their resignations. Such is, for the present at least, the conclusion of the accusation against Louis BLANC. The historian of " Ten years" is, happily for himself exonerated from the threatened pro secution. He has been neither acquitted nor i condemned. A majority of the Committee . considered his conduct worthy of reprehension, a ma-• jority of the Assembly over-ruled the desire of the Committee. So the matter stands. The result is to a certain extent satisfactory. As his brother historian M. LAORENT DB L'Aniancan observed, LOUIS BLANC, notwithstanding his economical errors, is as an his torian and political writer entitled to the solicitude of the Assembly. Regarding him only as an historian, and as a member of the Provisional Government in its first most arduous and most glorious labours, we should have felt little satisfaction in the condemna tion of Louis BLAnc, and yet had he been proved guilty of treason to the cause of Pacific Liberty, his condemnation would have been justly merited and inevitable. The Assembly have chosen the middle course; LOUIS BLANC is not con demned, but neither (let him not flatter himself) is he totally acquitted. We trust, however, the lesson will nut be lost. We trust most heartily and sin cerely, that henceforth whatever allurements to the contrary may assail his personal ambition, Louis BLANC will consecrate his entire abilities and exer tions to the cause which alone is worthy of them — the cause of liberty and moderation and peace. We shall look with interest to the conclusion of the other discussion to which we have referred, namely, that concerning the cross of the Legion of Honour. This discussion was provoked by M. Raz's pro position that the effigy of NAPOLEON should lk restored to the decoration which he had instituted. Instead, however, of agreeing to such an apparently unobjectionable proposition, a very earnest and vehement debate ensued, in which it was affirmed himself, read by the Premier in the House of Com mons, in which he clearly explained that there was no direction given for the exclusion of any per sons whatever from the jury-lists on account of their religion, his only instruction being to strike off all persons professing political opinions in accordance with those for which the prisoner was impeached, and who could not, therefore, be considered fair or im partial arbitrators upon the question at issue. By far the most important part of the state ment, however, is that which declares that the coun try was on the verge of insurrection last week, and that the calamity was only averted by the strenuous exertions of the Council. They might appear to merit some praise for thus preserving peace end tran quillity, but they take care to remove every such im pression, and to explain their motive for this apparent support of the law. It was not that they desired the maintenance of order—far from it ; it was only be cause they " apprehended that, under present circum stances, an armed attempt to rescue him and to free Ireland, might have proved abortive ;" they " there fore interposed and wit h difficulty succeeded in prevent ing the fruitless effusion of blood." As if ashamed, how ever, of having, on any account, averted the outbreak, they take care to add " that the recent indignities offered to the Irish nation have greatly tended to re move from our minds the hope which we have hitherto desired to cherish, that the questions at issue between England and Ireland may be settled by ' amicable adjustment. We feel bound to tell you without 'disguise that these indignities and wrongs are rapidly bringing us to that period when armed resistance to the oppressors of our country will become a sacred obligation, enforced by the highest sanctions of public duty." This is plain and unequivocal enough; the invocation of the " God of battles " was not more . distinct, but should there be a lingering doubt it must be removed by the final appeal "to unite in a holy league against usurpation and injus tice ;" and " to contemplate calmly and firmly the chances of a final struggle, and to prepare for that struggle by furnishing themselves with all such resources as may enable them to command sue; cess." • It is not alone the document to which we have above referred that indicates the determination of the Irish Confederation to hasten the decisive contest—the recent change in the Council who form the Execu tive Directory is extremely significant. Mr. DEM REILLY, who withdrew from the Confederation with Mr. MrrcHEL, is not only restored to the body, but placed in the Directory. Mr. JOHN MAUTIN, an other of the more immediate friends and advo. cates of the war policy, and Mr. DOHENEY, who so ardently pines for the honour of martyrdom, and is prepared to be one of the earliest felons, are in the same position ; in fact every man who had the slightest pretensions to moderation has bJen removed. What will the Government do becomes the question. We doubt not that it will act with vi gour and decision, but it should also act with promp titude. It is due to the well-disposed and loyal citizz?ns that the incipient rebellion should be nipped in the bud. Nothing can be so injurious to the cause of rational liberty as its abuse, or so greatly retard the amelio rations in the state of the law which are so urgently required. The very man whose exile has occasioned so much disturbance has done more damage to Irish freedom than the greatest tyrant and oppressor that ever earned for himself the hatred of the nation ; and those who are seeking to follow in his footsteps should be encountered by the most stringent en forcement of the existing law ; and if that is not sufficient to meet the evil new powers will, we doubt not, be granted by the Legislature for that purpose. that the Rei üblic of France intended to abolish as too monarchical a decoration which a former Republic of France had instituted! M. Cx.s worr TUOMAS, evidently labouring under strong excitement, asked, " What were these gewgaws of vanity ?" He was interrupted by loud murmurs, and cries of "ABsez, assez r He had, indeed, said enough to demonstrate the nature of his feelings. M. CLEMENT THOMAS is evidently one who has never been able to append to his button-hole the coveted " rouge," and consequently he is utterly unable to appreciate its value. We beg, however, to refer M. CLEMENT THOMAS, for a full reply to his hitherto unanswered demand as to the use of decorations to my uncle ROLAND'S discourse upon " honour," in the recent number of Blackwood. Seriously speaking, however, we can not believe it possible that the Republican Government of France can, even for a moment, contemplate the abolition of an institution which, however much it may have been degraded by the Ise made of it by Louis Pniurrs, is republican in its origin, and in its tendencies favourable to the most impartial equality. The Council of the Irish Confederation have just published a manifesto referring to the late trial of Mr. MITCHEL, signed by Mr. SMITH O'I3RIEN as chairman of the body. In that extraordinary document the Government are openly set at defiance, and a call upon the people to prepare themselves for armed re sistance to the authorities is put forward with scarcely a particle of disguise or concealment. We know nut whether the Honourable Member fur Limerick is the fortunate person on whom the lot has fallen " to stand in the dock as the next felon," as alluded to by Mr. DOHENET last week. He, however, has given the law officers of the Crown lull opportunity fur trying the chances of another prJsecucion if they should desire to avail themselves thereof. The first part of the proclamation is merely a re petition of the oft-refuted calumnies and falla cies which the Young lrelanders have so indus triously and unceasingly put forward in reference to the constitution of the jury in question. They speak of the unfortunate and misguided man who is now so bitterly expiating his own insane and headstrong conduct as "a victim to the machinations of legal artifice, and to the lawlessness of reckless power." He is, indeed, " a victim," but it is to his own acts, and to the encouragement he received from those who professed similar views, and declared their readiness to see their country involved in all the horrors of in ternecine war, that he is indebted for his melancholy doom—for being borne as an exile from the country which he would have seen polluted by the blood of its children, shed by each other's hands, for being de prived of the liberty which be would have degene rated into licentiousness. They assert " that Mr. MITCHEL was found • guilty by a jury, selected not to -nefarious toa actscvict him ;" and add, that " by a momentary triumph has been consummated—a triumph not over an obnoxious foe, but over the sacred obligations of justice, over the violated liberties of a nation." The explana tions that have already been afforded as to the alleged packing of the jury, and the removal of Catholic jurors therefrom, have been so clear and satisfactory, that it is almost an act of supereroga tion again to refer thereto ; but when we find parties deliberately putting forward assertions which they must be perfectly well aware are altogether unwar: ranted, and at variance with the truth, for the wicked purpose of stimulating the ignorant and un reasoning portion of their countrymen who may be led astray by their reckless calumnies to an armsd resis tance to the constituted authorities, it becomes a duty again to expose their falsehoods, and to show how little dependence can be placed uponatshseeriraollepotfiotnhse. In opposition to th e unsupported tin Council of the Irish Confederation we have the solemn decision of the sworn triers to whom the challenge of the jury was referred with the assent of the unfor tunate prisoner himself. There was not only a total failure of any evidence to sustain the charge of par tiality or favouritism, but it was rebutted by the positive and distinct testimony of the High-Sheriff himself, who proved that when he selected the jurors from the general book he was wholly ignorant of their religion or politics, and that he only inquired as to the respectability of the parties. It was indeed fortunate that the challenge was preferred, because it brought the calumnious charges against the law offlqrs of the Crown to the most conclusive test, and furnished those gentlemen with a perfect answer to every in sinuation of a similar character. In addition we have bad the statement of the Attorney- General Louse of a friend in the quarter of the L'ole de Me • decine, from whence he went to the house of M. MASSON, a bookseller, to change his linen, and after wards went home. "To pretend," he says, "as a journal has dared to do, that I was seen at the Hotel de Ville, is a falsehood the impudence of which ex ceeds all that can he imagined." Having learned at his own house that the Assembly had resumed its sittings, he hastened there "On arriving at the vestibule I was recognised by some National Guards. They precipitated themselves on me, a prey to an incredible rage. Let him be placed under accusation cried sonic. We must kill him — that will be the soonest done, cried others." But some National Guards and some Representa tives hastened to his assistance, and succeeded in rescuing him. It is certain, at least probable," adds M. Blanc, " that without their intervention it would have been all over with me. Handfuls of hair were dragged from me —my coat was torn to pieces ; some wretches tried to strike me from behind with bayonets ; one, not being able to reach me otherwi se , seized my right hand and covered twiste twisted my ri3yfingers. I entered th e A ssem bly literally with rags. In this state, perhaps, I might have expected on the part of all my colleagues some of that consideration which the simple sentiment of humanity commanded. But such is the criu , l effect of certain misunderstandings, unavoidable in times of revolution, that I only found hostile dispositions in a part of the Assembly. My presence in the tribune, to which I was called by the most imperative of duties, that of bearing tests pony in favour of my unhappy friends Albert and Barbes, caused the most violent murmurs. Among the different addresses to the electors of the department of the Seine which have appeared from one candidate or another we may mention, as about the most interesting, that penned by LEOPOLD Du RAO, the principal editor of the National:— " Citizens," says this address in one portion—" a democratic journalist on the eve of the Revolution—a combatant on the 24th of February—l am to-day still at my post/ continuing after th e t r iu m ph to defend with my pen the cause to which I have devoted my life !" rumoured about Chat :11-..‘ 13 a Cue Liu de Ville. He could declare in the most solemn manner that such was not the case, and he called on the lion. Representatives around him, in the n ame of th e i r own dignity, and in the name . of justice, to believe his asser tion.—(" Hear, hear,'' from the left.) A Member declared that he thought it right to again repeat what he had already declared, that on May 15, he had heard M. Louis Blanc say to the people who wanted him to speak, that 6 . his . place was w h ere h e was, and that he should not leave it." The Gazette des Tribunaux describes a riotous demonitration in favour of BARBES and COURTAIS— the mob on Thursday evening raising certain sedi tious cries on the Place du Pantheon. 'I he President read a letter from some person named Bertrand, which declared that the writer bad seen M. Louie Blanc on the day of May 15, when carried about by the mob, endeavour as much as possible to escape from their hands. The Lyons journals state that the disturbance which arose on the 31st ult., in the Ateliers Na tionaux of that city, was not followed by any serious consequences, but was suppressed on the arrest of about thirty of the most mutinous, and their confine ment in the prison of Roanne. _ M. Jule 3 Favre, the reporter, summed up at great leng? h the arguments brought forward during the dis cuss:on, declaring at the close the motives which had actuated the committee in recommending the Assembly to grant the authorization applied fur. The only ques tiot► for the Chamber to decide was this, was the princi pia of inviolability which protected all the Members not to be set aside, where sufficient indications were brolight forward to show that the law officers of the Republic were justified in making the demand which was new wider consideration ? The Assembly had not to decide the question of guilt or innocence, but merely to say whether the ends of justice were not to be forwarded, even when the person applied agaiest was one of their own Members. It was necessary that justice should not be arrested i❑ its course by any obstacle, even when the inviolability of the Assembly was to a certain extent in question. The Assembly had not to decide to have the inculpated Member arrested, but merely to Wily whether the law officers were to go on with their proceed ings in the case of ►May 15 or not. The committee had scarcely examined the facts ; it had merely done so sufficiently to be convinced that the demand had been made without any rancour or political bias. He con cluded by calling on the Assembly to grant the authori zation. • The Constitutionnel is indignant at the efforts which are being made to prevent the &ection of M. TRIERS, either for Paris or elsewhere. And the Presse is striving to cast odium upon the Government, by ac cusing M. RECURT of following the extravagant course of M. LEDRU ROLLIN in the Ministry of the Interior. The President of the National Assembly, accom panied by one of the Vice-Presidents and a Secre tary of the Chamber, visited the Atelit rs ..Tationaux on Thursday. It is said that they found the work men, generally speaking, animated with good in tions. M. Louis Blanc, from his place, exclaimed that all he wanted was an enlightened judgment. M. Dupont thought that the declaration of the ho nourable reporter relative to an arrestation not being decided by the Assembly, could not stand the test of ex amination, since it was evident that the Honourable Re presentative, now accused, would, if the authorization were granted, be arrested on ithe instant. The As sembly ought not to forget that what it decided now was in reality an article of the future constitution. The Hon. Deputy here declared that M. Marrast could prove that M. Louis Blanc- had not been at the Hotel de Ville. The Yesterday the election of eleven representatives for the department of•the Seine commenced. Every where the name of M. TurEas was being torn down from the wall 3; but it is almost certain, that, if re- Hon. Member also alluded to an opinion given by Duvergier de Hauranne, in a somewhat similar case under the monarchy, which, he said, was different from that of the Hon. Member at present.—(Oh, :oh.) The Hon. Member maintained that the Assembly could not decide in so grave a case without more sufficient evi dence.' [The Hon. Member went on for some time, but was listened to with impatience]. A strange scents took place at this moment. A crowd of members assembled at the foot of the tribune, some of whom were speaking together, when suddenly a voice arose from the crowd, and said, " M. le President; a member insults me;" great confusion followed, and the sitting was forcedly suspended, half a hundred members speaking together. The President said something that it was impossible for us to catch, further than the word, " Order." The disturbance increased, and fur some time it was impossible to hear a word, at last— • M. E. Langley ascended the tribune, and in'great ftgi tatiun said that he had certainly used a harsh expres sion to a colleague, but it was because he had been first treated improperly himself. M. Dupont had descended from the tribune, and had gone away to his place, when M. Laurent exclaimed, that " what he had said relative to M. Duvergier de llauranne was imprupet !" " I," said the Honourable Deputy, then replied—" the truth was never improper!" He retorted by a most gross expression, and desired me to begone. I, in my turn, . gave him a sharp answer, and that was a11.z.--(Great con fusion.) . _ _ Mr. - Laurent, in his turn, gave explanations ; declared that the last speaker had thrust himself in amongst a group of gentlemen speaking, and gave his opinion un asked.—(Great noise and agitation for soma time, after which the incident terminated.) • M. Marrast said that he had at first entertained the opinion that M. Louis Blanc had been at the Hotel de Ville on the 15th of May, having heard some person& say so, but afterwards, when he had made inquiries, he found from the evidence of the person: placed at the dif ferent doors, &c., that had he been there he could not possibly have departed without being seen. In conse quence he could now declare that he had the firmest conviction that M. Louis Blanc had not been at the Hotel de Ville. The discussion was then declared to be closed. jected by the capital, the illustrious orator, historian, And statesman will be returned for the Seine Inferieur, or for the Gironde, or possibly for both. According to the Dbats, the list of candidates fer the representation of the metropolis is ]67; but the Presse states that the actual number is upwards of 200. The Paris papers of yesterday contain the reports of the important sitting of the National Assembly on Saturday, upon which occasion the discussion took place upon the accusation against M. Louis BLANC, in regard to his conduct on the memorable 16th of May: It will be seen from the report which is given afterwards, that the authorisation to prosecute the accused was rejected by a majority of thirty two: The acclama tions, however, with which this decision was received were feeble enough, indicating the little sympathy of those who had voted for the acquittal. We subjoin a report of these remarkable proceedings : The President took the chair at a quarter past one. Some groups of workmen were collected outside the Chamber, talking of the nrobable arrest of M. Louis Blanc. There was nothing, however, to intimate the existence of any . great agitation. The troops about the building were just as numerous as ever. Inside the public tribunes were exceedingly crowded, in expecta tion of an animated siting, The order of the day was the discussion on the demand to authorise criminal proceedings to be instituted against M. Louis Blanc. The President said that he had received an application from several representatives to have the vote given without any . discussion—(ol), oh)—in order that the eventual decision of the Court before which the case was to be tried might not be in any way prejudged. Was the Assembly of opinion that such should be the course pursued ?—(An almost universal burst of "No, no!" here was heard from every side.) Dl:. Mathieu (de la Drome) had read most carefully the report of the Committee, and he could not see that sufficient grounds had been shown to cause the Assembly to accede to what it recommended. As the evidence, which had induced the Committee to arrive at an affirm ative decision, could not be laid before the House, it was evidently a vote of confidence that was demauded.— (Cries of " No:, no.") He believed the law officers of the Crown to be actuated by motives altogether pure, and the Committee to be perfectly convinced that the course which it advised was strongly called for. Still, for the Assembly to give a vote without knowing the grounds on which it gave it, would establish a very ob jectionable precedent. The Honourable Deputy then procee d e d to consider the circumstances of the case as far as they had been made known, and maintained that good grounds to g r a nt the authorise rsetill he hesitated for the reason which htthie:ll . hailthough demanded,eb r i e Liijatuthastgi e' vt react n l a piper in which he dwelt on the enormity of the attack made on the Assembly on May le, Referring to the declaration in the report of the Committee that M.

The Hon. Member then alluded to M. Louis Blanc's ap pearance in the House the day before, and excited much laughter by representing him as covered with bands and ornaments like a victim. Entering at great length into the events of May 15, he maintained that the confusion was too great to permit any one to assert that M. Louis Blanc had uttered the words attributed to him: besides, the expression had been already claimed by Barbei.— (" Oh, oh," and loud laughter.) There evidently was doubt—why n ot give the benefit of the doubt to the. Member who now stood before the Assembly in so grave a position? He should vote against the authorisation. M. Bac was one of those in the Committee who had l e le so h v a e d re d ig o n n t e y soot the' e - Assembly was once admitted, any Member could be causevoted hare i o n n st ld th n e ot au se th e or t i h s s a t tio i n f . to justice by the decision of the House, un prescribed by the penal code had I d e e s i s iv t e h re e d fo u t p nialitins been first most fully complied with. The Assembly ought first to inquire into all the acts which had taken place, and then if it found, by the testimony of credible witnesses, that the views of the law-officers of the Republic were correct, it would be justified in acceding to the recommendation of the Committee, but not other wise. The Honourable Member proceeded at great length to assign his reasons for thie view of the question. He then argued that if the Assemb l y should not feel any inclination to adopt that cours e, it ou g ht at l i e e d, so leastst to wait until the prisoners now in custo d y were itr for the application now made to prosecute.

The President then put the question to know whether the Assembly would authorise that M. Louis Blanc be proceeded against by the law officers of the Republic. The first trial was declared to be doubtful amidst cries of " Oh, oh." M. Flocon and M. Cremieux rose against the autho rization. _ _ _ The second trial then took place, and all the Minis ters rose against the authorization. The President said that amongst the secretaries four were of opinion that the authorization had been voted; two looked on the matter in an opposite point of view. by division.—(3larks of astonishment; cries of " Well, four to two Is not that matter decided?" Great tumult.) To our eye the authorization had been each time de cided in the affirmative. A Member here said that he thought a vote by division was clearly called for:—(Cries of " No, no;" great confusion.) M. Louis Blanc said that whoever thought a vote by division would please him or serve his cause were quite mistaken. He protested, as a representative of the people, against the whole proceeding, though as a man it was a mattt.r of indifference. He looked on the course pursued as disastrous.— (Hear, hear, from the left.) A scene of indiscribable confusion followed, which lasted fully ten minutes, the President ringing his bell, and crying out to procure silence. At last it was de termined to proceed to the division, by going out of different doors, which was commenced in extraordinary agitation. The President was exceedingly moved before this, and more than once cried out to Honourable Mem byrs, " Mais taisez vous donc." The whole scene was a disgrace to a deliberate assembly. P.S. The result of this ballotting was that the de mand for the authorization to prosecute M. Louis Blanc was rejected by a majority of 32 votes. BOURSE—PARIS, SATURDAY, JUNE 3.

The following intelligence has been received from 1 the ca?ital of the Austrian dominions—intelligence which )rings our dispatches up to the 29th initant, and whch corroborates in a great measure the ideas of M. DE LAMARTINE in regard to the probable dis membernent of the empire founded by ltunoerne of , Ilapsbirg. The academic Legion have sent a letter to the Corn mandart, Count COLLOREDO, and have at the same time adlressed a procl;mation to the inhabitants of Vienna The former is as follows : " The Academic Legion to the Commandant. " Your public question demands a public answer. , It is true that the public thoroughfares are not the most fitting place far a lather to concert and settle family arrangements with his suns. You have, how ever, el;osen publicity, and we have accepted it. Neither the father nor the sons have occasion to be reserved. We depend upon your patriotism. We honour your courage. We respect your judgment. But tae Academic Legion also is pa triotic, and has confidence in its own judgrien:, though it does not overrate it; and should its honour, and the welfare of the country require it, would gladly sacrifice its very existence. We have, however, as you observe, reiterated and seriously tested the question of cur existence. It is not the advice of individuals, nor one-sided representatives, which have determined us to abide by our post ; but the deep-rooted conviction of all, that it is now, more than ever, our duty energetically to protect and che rish the well-being of our country in common with the National Guard. " The Academic Legion will not dissolve itself. It will stand and fall by the conquests of the 14th March and 15th of May. " The unanimous voice of the inhabitants of Vienna, the sympathies of our high-minded Burghers, are to us a sure guarantee that our exertions are acknow ledged, that an existence is desired, and as soon as the voice of truth shall prevail, as soon as lying and calumny shall be forced to quit all their hiding places, the inhabitants of the empire of Austria will gratefully and affectionately acknowledge the Acade mic Legion. "Mr. Commandant—We cheerfully greeted you as our leader; it will give us pain when you quit us. The German Academic cap would never cover a nobler head than yourie, hut it will nevertheless be a cap of honour when you have laid it aside. " The Ministers Lave addretat d a circular to the in habitants of Vienna, stating that their intentions are suspected, and are blamed for the absence of a pro• gramme, which acknowledges an established plan ; that the existence of a Ministry without public confidence, without a plan, without a clear and defined course, is impossible ; that consequently it is the duty of even a Ministry al interim to sub wit its actions, its views, and plans to toe public judgment ; that the programme of a Ministry, how ever, which has to project a constitution is found in that constitution itselt ; that the 25th of April has publicly attested the sentiments of tha Ministry, whether it be liberal, commensurate with the demands and requirement of the times, whether it pays regard to the civil liberty, to the welfare of ell classes of the inhabitants on this point, twelve of the provinces, and the residentiary city itself have already given their judgment. None of the assurances of this pro gramme have remained unfulfilled ; freedom of speech, and liberty of the press have been conscientiously secured. No privilege of the Burghers have been diminished, neither pre judice nor partiality have been arbitrarily exercised. The constitution was and is the basis upon which the actions of the Ministry rest. It will be the irrevocable guide of their actions until another direction shall be prescribed to the acts of the Go vernment by a new fundamental law. Confidence alone can consolidate the Government; and a Govern ment thus supported can alone energetically and powerfully carry out the interests of the country. The Ministers, therefore, justly claim this confidence so long as the posts assigned to them remain under their charge. They at the same time declare that they will maintain all uie liberties of the eenstitniene of the 25th of April ; to accede to all subsequent con cessions, powerfully to oppose anarchy, disorder, and every reaction ; to acknowledge the Diet alone as empowered organically to regulate the laws of the country; to re-establish peace in the residentiary city; to maintain union in the provinces, arid to use their utmost exertions to effect the return of the Monarch to his capital. "It the Burghers give them full support they will be able to carry on these measures; but should they re fuse their co-operation, the Ministers will deem it their sacred duty to relinquish their functions. Signed in the name of the Ministry, " PILLERSDORFF." The Wiener Zeitung of the 31st May says, that the EMPEROR, by a decree, dated Inspruck, May 22, has abolished corporal punishment, the stock, and brandmarks, until anew legal code on these points shall have been issued. Searching of private resi dences is to be done only upon a given judicial order, and ameliorations have been introduced into the sys tem of arrest. The birthday of the EMPEROR was celebrated on the 30th without excitement. The National Guard, the armed Burghers' Corps, and the Acpdemic Legion attended divine service. In the afternoon there was a solemn presentation of twelve field-pieces to the National Guard and two pieces to the Academic Legion. His MAJESTY has received an urgent invi tation to visit Hungary, and has promised to comply with this request so soon as the times shall admit of it. The Arch-Duke STEPHEN, Palatine of Hungary, arrived at Inspruck on the 27th. His Imperial Ilighni ss , previous to his departure from Hungary, address e d a few words expressive of his confidence in the lltegsrian people, his happiness, being placed at their lead, in being able, in their Lame, to ex press ' 0 their Matsaecu the unshaken attachment of the Hungarian nation to his MAJESTY and the Imper a l dynasty. The Archduke Palatine has also aldressed a proclamation - to the troops, to the militay o f Transylvania, the Barret, and Sclavonia, stalin; that theEMPEROR has been obliged to remove from Vienna to lnspruck ; that while he thinks it his d,ty to inform the military and magnates of this eirckestance, he feels assured that they will be defy pained at the circuragtance ; that he has, ineetwhile, undertaken the supreme command, and seS in the combination and intimate union of the mitary and the inhabitants, the sacred guarantee for th maintenance:of peace, exhorting them stringently, ad in agenuine military spirit, to obey the behests of tl Hungarian Ministry ; that by virtue of an Imperial cramand the military will, as soon as possible, take le oath to the constitution, and ever maintain that legiance for which Hungary has been renowned it centuries. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 31st states that, a consequence of the proclamation of the Ministers 'expecting the withdrawal of the military, Counts DIETRICHSTEIN and HOYOS were set at liberty ; but ;hat a guard of honour was placed before the real ;knee of the latter. His post as commander of the &ational Guard has been filled up by the election of Count PANNASCH.

The gleeful hurry of this proceeding requires no comment. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. ACQUITTAL OF LOUIS BLANC. On Friday a pamphlet was distributed to the Members of the National Assembly by its author, M. Louis BLANC ; it was entitled "A l' Opinion Pub lique, le Citoyen Blanc—Journal de 15 Mai." As fragments of a political and literary curiosity we extract a few of the paragraphs from this singular pamphlet: — "I commence by declaring, and that only to cApoze the audacity of certain falsehoods, that I have never had any relation direct or indirect with the citizens Blanqui, Raspail, and Huber. I have only seen the two former once in my life, some years ago, and I have never seen the latter at all. Personally I know neither of them. Like several of my colleagues of the old Provisional Government, I was sometimes with citizen Sobrier before the meeting of the National Assembly, but since then we have remained complete strangers to each other. As regards Albert and Barbes, I should be ashamed of my self if, knowing them prisoners and unhappy, I should hesitate to say boldly that I am their friend. . . . . . . " On the 14th vague rumours made known t ome, a to everybody, the fact that a great number of citizens proposed to go and present a petition in favour of Poland to the National Assembly. There ended the on flit. I at least did not hear speak of anything else. Of the monstrous project to invade the Assembly and declare it dissolved—not a word." ------ • -- When the rioters had burst into the Assembly, M. Louis BLANC thus pursues his narrative : " Standing on the bureau of the secretaries, I de manded a moment's silence, which was accorded to me, and I profited by it, as the Illoniteur proves; to invite the people to display calm and moderation, to re6pect their own sovereignty personified, in an Assembly elected by universal suffrage "I was again pressed by earnest solicitations. Feel ing warranted by the assent of the President of the Assembly, I went to one of the windows of the Court which leads to the Place de Bourgogne. I mounted on the window-sill, where Albert and ISarfli appeared, and I addressed the multitude crammed in the court in lan guago which appeared to me most likely to appease them. In substance I told them that the legitimacy of their wishes for a more equitable division of the fruits of labour, and for the gtadual extinction of misery nJuid not be dented, but that they might be certain that the sacred interests of the working chases would not be aban doned by the Assembly; that the eternal honour of the Republic would be precisely to have laboured without ceasing to realise the right of all to happiness; that if there were folly in raising too high hopes on that point, it was at least one of those subliine follies to which it was pardonable to devote one's life; that it was a very touching and very noble spectacle to see a people for getting the anxiety caused by their own sorrows to oc cupy themselves with the sufferings of a friendly nation; that therein was recognised the essentially generous and cosmopolitan genius of France; but that the more the sentiments of the people were worthy or respect, the more it was becoming to present the expression of them in a legal and regular manner; and I terminated by con juring the crowd to leave the National Assembly all the liberty of its deliberations. . . " It . was then that, speaking of the invincible force of the revolution of February, but of the absolute necessity of imposing it on the admiration of the whole rworld by moderation and wisdom, the only means of soon render ing it victorious over all kings, I pronounced these words, which have since been so cruelly misrepresented, 6 This revolution is not one of those which shake, but of those which overthrow thrones.' And .the conclusion, the resume of my speech, was this cry, which all the hearers repeated with enthusiasm, ' Vive la Republique Universelle t" . • "If," he observes in this place, it be wrong to excite such sympathies, when one combats the expression of them with all one's strength, and when one has always served the cause of what we believe to be truth without condescension, without flattery, without a vain seeking after popularity, this wrong is mine ; but let another be found in my conduct I" In the Assembly, says M. Louis BLANC— " Overwhelmed with fatigue, the voice gone, I was carried towards the extreme branches of the amphi theatre. There a workman came to me, and said, You cannot speak, but if you will write on a piece of paper that for the last time you intreat the crowd to with draw, perhaps I can succeed in reading it sufficiently loud to be heard.' I immediately took a pen, and hastily traced these lines, 'ln the name of the Republican country, in the name of the sovereignty of the people, for the sake of all, I adjure you— when these fatal words fell from the tribune, ' the National Assembly is dissolved I.'" A great movement then took place, and carried him to the Salle des Conferences— " I was called for from all parts. A compact and violent crowd surrounded MP, and cried to nae to go to the Hotel de Ville. I replied with profound consterna tion, which every one could have read on my face, that to go to the Hotel do Villa was to run the risk of causing blood 0 flow. I asked where several of my colleagues were. I could learn nothing about Albert, but some one told me that the people had insisted on conducting Barbes to the Hotel deVille, and that he had protested against it with great animation, which was con firmed by some persons present whose names are unknown to me." M. LOUIS BLANC then proceeds to relate that he got lost in the crowd, and was carried by it, he knows not how, to the Esplanade des Invalides. There, with great difficulty, his brother and an artist rescued him and placed him in a cabriolet. The person to whom the cabriolet belonged conducted him to the L • • • - . tr spectacle of a city full of hope, and remarkable f °l.l tranquillity.
