... es tIA hat you might he statutably guilty, but that you were snt justified an what you did. The Court, though .d we did nut interpose that line of de fence, yet desired to — Mr. 1-Themes —My Lords, with the greatest respect, what I said was, that though he might be statutably •lty, he was not, in my gui , opinion, mortaly guilty. I repeat thet opinion n ow.—(Stibilued applause throughout the court followed this avowal of the veteran patriot.) Baron LEFROY—•I would be very glad to find that I am mistaken altog ether in my view of the drift of the remarks, and I should be extremely glad to adopt the correction. I shall say no more upon that point. I only adverted to it, in order to shield the Court from the possible supposition that we sat here and acquiesced in a line of detente, which appeared to us very little short of, or amounting to, as objectionable matter as that for which the prisoner has been found guilty. Mr. Hoeates —I am answerable for that under the Act of Parliament.—( Applause.) Baron Leeaoe—Are there any policemen in court to prevent this interruption? HIGH SHERIFF—I have given distinct orders to the police to remove any persona interrupting the proceed rugs from the Court, and Baron Leenor —Rut they should made prisoners of them, that they might be committed to prison. I wish you (addressing the prisoner) to understand that we have with the utmost anxiety, and with a view to corms to a decision upon the measure of punishment which it would be our duty to impose, postponed the passing of sentence upon you until this morning. We have wit h the utmost deliberation examined the matter, with an anxiety to • duly discharge the duty which we owe on all hands— the duty which we owe the prisoner et not meting out punishment beyond the just measure of the offence, and the duty we owe to the public that the degree of punish ment will be such as to c irry out the object of all pu nishment, which is not the mere if - action of the penalty upon the person convicted, but the prevention of crime— that the punishment should carry with it a security to the country. as far as possible, that one who has offended so perseveriugly—thet so delioerate a violator of the law shell nut b , permitted to continue his course of conduct to the distuthaece of its peace and prosperity. We hail • to consider all this—to look at the megnitude of the crime, and to look also at the consitieration that if this were not the first case brought under tl.e Act, our-duty might have obliged us to carry out the penalty it awards to the utmost extent ; but taking into eensideration that this is the first conviction under the Act—though the • offence has been as clearly pawed as any offence of the kind et nal les —, the seettnce or the Cturt is— " 1 HAT YuU BE TRANnPORTED BEYOND THE SEAS FOR THE lERM OF FOURTEEN YEARS." The ATTORNEY GENERAL demanded that judgment against the prisoner should be entered on each count of the tedie•ment, as was the rule in England. Baron LEFRuY—The Attorney General having called upon us to have judgment entered on each count in the indictment, I order the Clerk of the Crown to do so. Mr. Mitchel then spoke as follows :—Tho law has now done its part, and the Queen of England, her Crown and Government in Ireland are now secure, put ?matt to Act of Parliament. I have done my part also. Three months ago I promised Lord Clarendon, and his Government in this country, that I w ould provoke him into lis courts of justice, places of this kind are called, and that I would force him publicly and notoriously to pack a jury against me to convict me , or el se th at I would walk a free man out of this court, and provoke him to a contest in another field. My Lord, I knew I was setting my life on that east ; but I knew that in either event the victory would be with me, and it is with me. Neither the jury, nor the judges, nor any other man in this court, presumes to imaeine that it is a criminal who stands in this dock.—(Murmurs otapplausee which the police endeavoured to repress.) I have shown what the law is made of in Ireland. I have shown that • her Majesty's Government sustains itself by packed jut ies. partisan judges. by perjured sheriff-. Baron LEFROY— Ile Court cannot sic here to hear you arraign the jurors of the country, the sheriffs, or the • country, the administration of justice, the tenure by which the Crown of England holds this country. We carnet sit here and suffer you to proceed thus, because the trial is over. Everything you had to say previous to the judgment the Court was ready to hear and did hear. We cannot suffer you to stand at that bar to repeat, I must say, very nearly a repetition of the offence • for which you have been sentenced. Mr. Mitchel—l will not say any more of that kind ; but I say this-- Baron LEFROY—Anything you wish to say we will hear ; but I trust you will keep yourself within the Jimits which your own judgment will suggest to you. Mr. Mitchel—l hare acted all throut e n this business, from the first, under a strong sense of duty. I do not repent anything I have dune, and I believe that the course which I have opened is only commenced. The Roman who saw his hand illumine, to ashes before the tyrant, promised that 300 should follow out his enter prise. Can I not promise (lueking at his friends who surrounded the dock) for one, fur two, for three, ay for hundreds. • A loud shout of exultation here rang through the Court, accompanied by immense cheering, clapping of hands. and great aranitestationa of excitement. Baron Leettoy--Oilicer I ~fli .er ! remove Mr. MitchsL The silt uts Here here increased, and the clamour became terrific, when two turnkeys laid hold of Mr. Mitchel. The Judges quitted the bench, and went into their chamber. The prisonerh friends, and number, of court set, in their thrensic costume, rushed over tables mai benches to bid turewell te the prisoner, who was ulti mately removed. Meanwhile the Judges returned to the bench, Jude,- More; first, eat Blain Lefroy shortly after, and Mr. Mitchel having been conveyed through the underground p issage to his cell in - Seweatv, the court began to rssume somewhat of its ordinary ap pearenee. After some interval, which ohviousty was required to ealm the excitement which prevaileit. and which there was every reaem to apprehend would have led to des peitate consequences at one period, the ordinary busi ness was proceeded with. CONTMErrAL OF MESSRS. DOHENY AND T. F. NLE A.G HER FOR ALLEGED CONTEMPT OF COURT. Mr. Michael Dobeny was placed at the bar, charged by Inspector Guy with disturbing the peace of the coin I, by shouting in a most disorderly manner. Mr. Doheny—l admit that I clapped my hands, but I deny havipg shouted. To the fullest sense, I adopt every • word uttered by• Mr. Mitchel at that dock. He was ultimately committed. Mr. DOtif.NY—l urn con •+sel fur some young men who are charged with the offence of drilling. Shall I have an opportunity of dereiefi eh t e em ? Mr. Justice: Mootte —Certainly, you shall be permitted to do so. Mr. BALDWIN, Q.C., intimated that it was not the in tention of the Crown to proceed with the prosecution for " drilling," &c., in the case of the Queen against Eng lish and ethers. • Mr. DOHENY then applied that his clients should be permitted u, stand out oil their own vecognizecces to the next minamissiere—Application granted. Mr. I'. F. Meegher was then brought up in custody of Inspector Little. who, on bring sworn, charged him with expressing applause by stamping his feet and clap pine his hands. • Judge Moot:tr.—Perhaps this was done in the excite ment of the moment, and you will reconsider the matter in the course of the day. Baron Lestaten—We will receive any apology during the sitting of the Court. Another gentlemsn who bad given expression to his feelings in the gellsry of the court, was also brought up in custody ; but teas discharge 1 ea stating that he had acted under the cxcitettent of the moment. Andrew Eogish, one of the ?reversers in the " drill ing " ease before mentioned, was also charged with tur bulent conduct is tie pets:see isadine lo the court, lie statsd, however. that he did not with to create any dis order, and the Judges, therefore, ordered him tu be :also discharged. Baron LEFROY said, with respect to Mr. Dobony, who was kept standing at the table in tee custody of the police, that the C••ert would not commit him until he had time fa- a little calm reflection. Mr. Deheny—l did not inean any disrespect to the Cower. I did net mean any e.eitenipt to the Court in giving expresdini to any feeling ; but. what. vi r punish ment is attached to the expression of my sy mph: by tor M r. ete ale e nil for seater:a:nine the opinion I have uttered, I cannot retract it. I sprat, however, that I did not mean spy contempt towerd a the Court. Baron LEFROY— Then, under these circumstances, and as you were under excitement, the Court discharges you. Mr. Meagher (who was also in the hands of the police in court) then came forward and said that he could not retract anything; hut he would say that ho did not mean any disrespect or contempt towards the Ct.urt. I regret the contempt, if I have been guilty of any, which I did not intend, but I can say no more.—Discharged. Mr. Rotates here rose to address the Court, when the utmost shence was observed. He said—My Lords, I think I had a perfect right to use the language I did yes terday. I vr'sh now to state that what I said yesterday I adopt to-day as my own opinion. But if I have vie listed the law iu any thing' said, I must, with great re spect to the Court, assert that I had a perfect right to say - what I stated; and I now say, in deliberation, that the sentiments I expressed with respect to England, and her treatment of this country, are my eentimetat, and I here avow them openly. The Court then proceeded with -other business, and shortly afterwards adjourned. This morning, at an early hour, Mrs. Mitchel and her children, accompanied by a few friends, proceeded from her residence, at Ontares-terrace, to Newgate, to interchange ntrewell with her convicted husband previ ous to his finel departure from his native land. A few only were present. We have been informed that the scene teat harrowing to the last degree. 'The professed Republican preserved a stern composure for some time, until, subeaed by the presence of his wife and artless children, he bent into tenderness, and the shock was the greeter because of his reluctance t. yield. SEIZURE AND SUPPRESSION OF THE UNITED IltlelINIAN." At a few minutes to post hour a hedy of policemen, beaded by an inspector. mart:het up to the otlice of the United Irishman and took possession of all the property And effects therein.

Iti a ii enured a carriage which was in waiting at the rear (the usual place) of the court. Thtir Lordships were pre• ceded in a carriage by the High Sheriff and an advanced guard of police. The carriage in which their Lordships rode was surrounded by a troop of Lancers. with an office: at each of the carriage windows. A consider able number of people, who were attracted by the mili tary and police, followed the carriage, and the crow 4 gained strength as it passed on. Iu Sackviile•atreet and at Carlisle-bridge there was considerable groaning as the carriage passed ; but, with this exception, there was no other indication of feeling. A crowd collected about Nelson's pillar, but at nine o'clock the streets pre sented their usual appearance. Although there was considerable excitement ev-rything passed off quietly ; and,so far as could be ascertained, there was not the least accident, nor an approach to anything like a breach of the peace. REMOVAL OF THE CONVICT. Mr. Mitchel was sent from Newgate this day at half• past four o'clock to the North-wall, escorted by a large force of cavalry, where he was put on board the Sheer water Government packet, which forthwith set sail for Spike Island. There was a large crowd on the wall, who loudly cheered him. Ile was not clothed as a con vict, but was strongly chained. A subscription has been already set on foot for the wife and children of Mr. John Mitchel. The lady is a niece of Sir William Verner, M.P. for the county of Armagh, and was married at the early age of 15 years. Although still youthful she is the mother of tour chi;- dren, the eldest of whom is 9 years old. Among the contributors to the subscription are Mr. R. O'Gorman, sen., for 50/ ; Mr. T. F.

HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE THIS DAT. Morning .. 48 min. after 10 f Evening 20 mln. atter 11 4 1 + • . . : "" ••••6 hit in.' 3 7 %, DI la, Ob eltina( LONDON, MONDAY, MAY•2A, 1848. Ingratitude the most unsparing and calumny the most virulent seem to be the only meed bestowed by England on Sir HENRY LYTTON BuLwaa, one of the most useful, one of the most staunch, one of the moit intelligent, and altogether one of the most distinguished of her servants in -he difficult and responsible duties of diplomacy. We deprecate this conduct on the part of our contemporaries. We protest against theanimad veraccs. levelled against his Excellency the late THE SUN, LONDON, Ambassador Go Madrid : and we do so, because those animadversioi is are as disingenuous and as undeserved as they are - petulant and vituperative. Our opinion of the coral uct of Si: H. Bunwert throughout the whole of these recent inisunek.rstandilgs is derived solely fron i the deliberate conviction of ourjudguient after a elder, and dispassionate consideration of the correspondence. That correspondence—consisting of the letters and documents severally exchanged be. tween Lord PALMERSTON, Sir H. BULWER, and the Duc DE SOTOMA Y OR—has just been printed in sixty eight pages, and copies of it presented to both Houses of Parliament by order of her MAJESTY. In the sixty-eight pages of this important diplomatic publication there are exactly sixty-eight official com munications, penned during an interval extending from March the first to May the eighteenth in elusively. From these paper s a l one Si r H ENRY B(JLWER may derive his vindication ; and any one who shall have the temerity to assert, after a perusal of the whole, that her Britannic MAJESTY'S late representative at tl'e Court of ISABELLA has not been entirely exonerated from all blame in regard to the quarrel which has arisen between the two Governments, will be actuated either by a monstrous obliquity of judgment, or by a shameless avidity for prevarication. What, we ask at once and for all, what can pos sibly be said as to the culpability of Sir lIEcuT LITTON BITLWER apart from the culpability of the Government, of which he was the accredited agent, after the very explicit letter written on the 20th ult. by Lord PALMERSTON, in which that statesman say now mark this !—in whichhesays—"l have to instruct you to state to the Due DR SOTOMATOR that HER MAJESTY'S Government entirely approve the step which you took in making your communication of the 7th instant, and likewise of your note of the 12th:' Of course, the Government gave those letters of Sir BULARR their approval, for, in writing as he did on the 7th and 12th of April, Sir H. Bur.wEla was merely obeying the instructions transmitted to him from the Foreign -office in Downing-street. Cul pable, therefore, Sir H. BuLwett is not in the estima ;ion of the English Government, for the Chief of that Government in the Foreign Department has thus for mally pronounced the commendation of his conduct as .en ambassador. Nor can it HENRY BULWZR be considered as culpable even in the estimation of the Spanish Ministry, notwithstanding the violent language addressed to him by the Foreign Secretary of her Most Catholic MAJESTY—for immediately :anterior to his departure from Madrid Senor CABAL LERO waited upon the representative of her Britannic MAJESTY with an assurance of the " great personal regard and esteem" entertained for him by the Duc OR Saroma.roa. From both sides, therefore, Sir HENRY BuLwart may derive his individual vindica lion. By neither party is he treated as culpable (he merely acting throughout the whole transac tion as a simple medium or agent.) ; and, there fore, all those who are endeavouring to depre ciate his character by their aspersions, should reflect that they are only shooting with the barbless arrows of abuse—projectiles which can only in the end recoil upon themselvet. Some one, however, is culpable. That is clear. Sir HENRY BULWER is vindicated, as we have Chown, by reference to the correspondence itself ; firstly, by Lord PALMERSTON, and, secondly, by Lord PA.LMERSTON'S antagonist the Due DE SOTO. MAYOR. That Lord PALMERSTON has been more than justified in the course pursued by him through out the misunderstanding in his c ipacity as the Foreign Administrator of Great Britain, we have fully explained in foregoing observaions—obserea tions in which we adduced the records of History as the inducements to the memorable recommendation of Viscount PALMERSTON to the Narvaez Cabinet. As a perfect epitome of those remarks, and as a masterly condensation of the historical arguments in avour of such an interference on the part of Eng :and, we refer to the closing paragraph of the letter, already quoted, written by Lord PALMERSTON to Mr. (now Sir IIENRY) BULITHR, a copy of which letter is printed in another column of The Sun of this day's impression. It is there shown that England has earned a tight .o make such friendly suggestioes to the Government of Spain—that she has earned that right by her mu nficence, her arms, her aid, her energies, her hea t's Mood; that she has earned that right by the prowess of her soldiers fighting in the cau.:e of Spaie,ty the talent of her diplomatists lavished in the furtherance of the interests of that country, by the money of her citizens generously Expended in the preservation of he peninsula from the horrors of a national bank ruptcy ; that she has earned that right, solemnly in the face of Christendom, by elevating ISABELLA 11. on the bucklers of her war ; iurs, and girding her brows with the diadem of PHILIP; that history has proclaimed the fact upon Tier brazen tablets ; that it is written in bloody cha racters upon the bills of Biscay; that it is attested oy the misfortunes of MONTESIOLIN, by the death of ZUMALLACARREGUI, and by the, fame of ESPARTERO. Or a truth there is culpability, and a damning wipe. eility in one quarter, and that quarter is Spain. Years can never efface the recollection of what has ust transpired in the Spanish capital. Years ? Gen : tales! Posterity will recogriLe in the conduct of So rOMAY,R as the mouthpiece of the NARYAEZ Cabinet, aid in the policy of that Cabinet, as the symbol re ,he will of degenerate Spain—the roost stupendous act of national ingratitude in the records of the globe. Terrible indeed is the retribution preparing for Spain —the re:ribution which must follow an insolence so irredeemably base. Where is that retribution pre paring? In England ? Will the maritime power of Britain crush the insignificance of its peninsular ally by bioaading the Spanish ports and demanding the payment of the English creditors at the mouth of their cannon ? Where is the retribu tion preparing ? Not in England. No ! Eng land is too generous. Not in England—in the heart of Spain ! A thankless despotism is not invul nerable The sword of NEMESIS can be fleshed in the heel even of ACHILLES. That sword will speedily descend upon the migratelu. Spaniards, and it wilt flash limn its scabbard in the suicidal hands of the people. The event on w hich the public attention on both , sides of St. George's Channel had been concentrattd for the last fortnight, on which, as we truly believe , . the peace and tranquillity, prosperity and happiness `, of the sister kingcom in a great degree depended, nas at length been decided. The trial of JOHN • 1111C1IEL has taken place, and the jury, faithful to he oaths they had taken, have returned the only verdict which a conscientious discharge of their fin ! portant duties permitted. The issue which the un fortunate prisoner himself had raisel has been found against him ; for a considerable period he had deter mined to leave no loophole by which the Government could avoid a prosecution. He had challenged the distinguished nobleman who fills the Vice royalty of Ireland to meet him in a court of justice. He bad taunted him with the forbearance that bad been exhibited in so long over looking his own seditious and most mischievous pub lications. Ile had deliberately declared that either the Government or himself should be put down, and he has now only himself to blame for the melancholy but inevitable result of his insane proceedings, his expatriation from his native land as a convicted felon, the loss of all that could make life worth possessing. However deeply we may be impressed with the criminality of the unf atunate man, however richly-merited the punishment he is about to suffer, it is impossible nut to deplore the position in which a gentleman by birth and education, a man of very considerable talent and acquirements, has involved himself by his own reckless and headstrong conduct. Yes, it is indeed a melancholy spectacle to behold such a person consorting with thieves and pickpockets, with the most debased and degraded outcasts from society, who for their crimes have forfeited their na tural liberties, but it is still more painful to reflect that his criminality far exceeds that of any of his meaner associates—that he had excited thousands of his misguided countrymen into a state of disaffection and disloyalty, ready to imperil their own lives and those of their fellow-citizens in the pursuit of an im practicable chimera; to imbue their hands in human gore, to involve their country in the most hateful, the most sanguinary, the most destructive, in every respect; of all wars—au internecine contest, where brothers and fathers are arrayed against each other in hostile make.

The Bill presents the particularity, that it pro poses to admit workmen into the councits, whereas previously those bodies had been composed of um ployers only. The articles declare that the number of workmen shall be equal to that of the master. They shall be elected by ballot, out of lists which had also been balloted for, but four times more nu merous . than would be required for each council No one can be elected unless he is twenty•one years of age, anl residing for at least six months within the district.

The Council shall meet at least twice in every month. BLANQUI was arrested on Friday evening at No. 14, Rue Alontholon. " This arrest," says the Moniteur, " will be at tended with excellent results. Good citizens will feel re-assured by magistrates prosecuting and pu nishing the k,uilty, and seditious persons will under stand that they must renounce projects which will be soon defeated. The Government should have credit given it for showing so much solicitude in calming the fears of the public mind." We find the following in the Commerce : "It appears that a banquet is about to be given in honour of MM. Albert, Barla3, and tutti quanti. if we are rightly informed, this banquet was decided upon on Thursday evening. at a meeting of Enrages. It is to take place at St. Mune'é, not far from the tort of Vin cennes. The tickets are to be 25c. (5 stills) each, and the guests are to content thems►lees with wine, bread, and cheese. The getters up of this inanifeiitation reekiin upon a gathering of about 150,000 gbests. As we have an implicit faith in liberty, we recommend the Executive power not to interfere in any way wiih this meeting. Let the friends of Messra. 134 ties and Co. retrain from obstructing the public ways, let them .lit;; as frugally ; they please, let them return peaceably to their homes. and they will have nothing to answer for but to common sense and consistency. We doubt, un it we have proid to the contrary, whether 150,000citizons can be suffi ciently blind not tap. mprehend hew blameable it is to propose a fete in honour of men who wished to usurp e sovereignty of the people, and who have forgotten that the power of the National Assembly, constituted by the suffrages of the entire pei.p:e of France, is as legitimate us any power can be." We read in the Presse— " Abuut 200 representatives of the people met on Thurslay evening in the Galerie de la Chpelie of the Palms National, to deliberate. on a proposed fusiot, of the Club des Pyramides, presided over by M. Joly, with the club presided over by M. Dupont de l'Eure. The first consists of about 130 members forming the Montagne, the second of about 80 members of decided democratic opinions, but in favour of nn.deration. The programme presented at the meeting may be thus bUlTlliltd up:—Organization of the democratic repubie and application of that political form as the organizing instrument of all institutions compatible with rele.ct for social relations and property. The meeting almost unanimously adopted the piinciple and objects of the programme, and decided that it should h. ncetbrth form only one club, under the presidency of M. A. Marrasi. The club will decide on the questions to be submitted to the National Assembly, and the order to be followed in the debates. It is said that it will also soon propose a list of tour members fur the Commission of Executive Government. such being a condition of the fusion of the two clubs. There is a third club, consbeing of about 200 representatives, which meets in the Ecole de Me decine. It is believed that it will give in its adhesion to the programme adopted by the ultra-Democratic meeting." The Moniteur publishes a decree for the organiza tion of the Council of the Admiralty. It is to be composed of eleven members, among whom we find the names of Admirals HUUON, Da LA. SUSSE, and HAMELIN, and M. CHARLES Duels, Inspector- General of the Naval Engineers. The Minister of the Marine will act as President, and the functions of Vice-President will fall upon the senior officer in rank. The members of the Council will have the initiative in all propositions relative to the general and special service of the marine and colonies, and which will be afterwards brought under the discus sion of the Council, on a majority of that body de ciding that the proposition is worthy of being so dis cussed. M. SAIN DE BOIS-LE•COMTE has been appointed Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the Cuurt of Sardinia. This is not M. BOIS-LE• COMTE who was the Ambassador of Louis PHILIPPE in Switzerland. It is stated, says the Constitutionnel, that the Exe cutive Committee has given up the idea of making a Cabinet question of the adoption of the entire project on their relations with the Assembly ; it accepts the modification s proposed on the article respecting the persons to be charged with the guard of the As sembly. The Presse says— " The Committee charged to examine the constitution labours actively, its sittings sometimes being prolonged to a late hour in the night. It we may hellfire what has transpired of its deliberations in the Salle de Corieri , ewes, the Committee has formally resolved the fundA mt:iital question that there shall be only one President, to be nomizated for three years, by direct universal suffrage in each commune. This deuwcratic election is also, it is said, to be applied to th e Coi.seils-14.eraux of departments, to the juge s d e p s i x , and the officers of the Natioeal Guard; such electio ns b e i ng renewed every three ) ears There is, it is added, to he only on e L eg i i • ' e )rw d h oilteret of the It-public.

'rho Committee of Public Works has appointed MM. BILLAUDEL, EMILE MARTIN, EMERY, BRUNET, and .LEFRANC, to draw up their report on the Minis terial project of law for t he re p urchase of r ailroads by the State. The Akbar of Algiers announces that M. THEIRS has consented to become a candidate for the repre sentation of Algeria, in the room of M. LEDRU Ronurt, who made his option to sit in the National Assembly for the department of the Seine. A petition has been presented to the National As sembly by about 3,000 of the persons wounded in the Revolution of February, praying for an equitable distribution of the sums subscribed for their use, and complaining that many of them, on receiving small sums from the parties charged with the distribution of these funds, had been compelled to sign receipts in full discharge of all their claim., whilst others, equally necessitous, have not yet received anything. It S will be recollected that M. ALBERT was President of the Committee for the distribution of these funds. The banking-house of DELESSEET and Co. is winding up its affairs, and a liquidator has been ap pointed. At four o'clock on Saturday the rappel was beaten, and the National Guard and Garde Mobile turned out. A considerable force was posted in the neigh bourhood of the Assembly for its protection, and the whole of Paris was on the alert. It appears that an outbreak of the ouvriers employed, or more properly speaking, paid for doing nothing in the ateliers nationaux, was apprehended on account of the re moval of EMILE THOMAS from the post of director of the ateliers, and of the announced determination of the Government to send several of the persons main tained there back to their respective departments to be there employed in agricultural and other repro ductive lAbour. The .3fessap,•er of Friday evening gives the follow ing account of the removal of M. EMILE THOMAS " M. Emile Ti:omss, director of the ateliers national's, was arri•sied last evening. He has, it is said, been skit& oft• to Bordeaux in the custody of two gendarmes. It appears that he was called 3estelday evening to the Hotel de V►lle, where he remained a portion of the night. This morning he was sent off in a post-ohanse with two unknown persons o❑ the road to Bordeaux. Ws family, anxious on account of his absence, was in formed the, he was sent WI an urgent mission. The young men who firmed the staff of the ateliers nutionaux resigned their offices on hearing of the tarcat of Al. Thomas, but they have since reautrod them." This removal of M. Emma THOMAS gave great dissatisfaction to the ouvriers, who immediately as sembled in the Parc de Monceaux and in the Champ de Mars, and made a serious threat on the 1 art of that formidable body (they are upwards of 100,000 in number) to march upon the Hotel de Ville, the Hall of the Assembly, or the Luxembourg, to demand sa tisfaction, and rescue their director. M. TABLAT, the Minister of Public Works, went yesterday to the Pare de Monceaux, to endeavour to tranquillize the people. lie denied that M. Tioiks hid been lir* their solemn obligations—had they suffered any feel ings of misplaced sympathy or morbid sensibilities to have biased their judgment, they would indeed have had much to answer tor, and thousands and tens of thousands of d. stitute Hido N s and starving orphans would have had to lament their fatal dereliction of duty. But such is happily not the case. They have restored the character of Irish juries, which had been so deeply tarnished during the late State prosecutions. They have nobly discharged the dutiesi they owed to their country—and, undeterred by the system of terror and intimidation that was resorted to—un swayed by any sinister influence, they have returned an honest and a censcientious verdict, in strict ac cordance with the evidence produced before them. Where now are the promises that were held out to the family of the wretched man ? Where are the hopes by which he was sustained during his whole career ? There can be no doubt that he persisted to the very last in believing that a jury could not be found to convict him, or that if a verdict of guilty was returned, his sentence would be the signal for a general insurrection throughout the entire country, that he would be forcibly rescued from any punish- . ment to which he might be condemned. How frivo lous were those expectations—ho w vain these hopes. The "Doctor Doyle" Club have been found wanting. He has been convicted, but he has not been restored t o lib erty or to his disconsolate family. The marchings and coun termarchings of the Confederates have been but vague and unmeaning demonstrations. The cheers before Nevvgate, but so much empty air. He has been already removed from the prison, and embarked on board a Government steamer for the convict deptst at Spike Island, there to await the sailing of the next transport, and yet no effort was made for his release—no attempt to liberate him from his chains. Nothing more occurred than usually happens on the departure of an ordinary prisoner. It is not in triumph over the unhappy man that we give ex pression to these sentiments, it is not in exultation for his melancholy doom. Gladly would we see him relieved from every personal suffering if it could be so with safety to the nation. But it is necessary to show the agitators who have entered on a similar course to that fur which he is ,suffering, who fancy that they may imitate his conduct, but that they may possibly be preserved from a like termination, the utter absurdity of the supposition, and, if possible, before it is yet too late, warn them back from the hazardous pathway on which they have entered. The of ject of the law, in condemning criminals, is, we have been told by one of the most eloquent and philosophical of those profolind and learned men who have enlightened the world with their wisdom, " Ut peana in paucos perveniat, metus in owner." If the punishment could be averted from the single one, without also dissipating the salu tary fear that must be forcibly impressed on the minds of the multitude, none would rejoice more fervently than ourselves, notwithstanding the mischief he has occasioned; but an example 'was necessary to the salvation of the entire kingdom; and the Irish Government have, in the promptitude and decision with which they have vindicated the majesty of the law, and put its sentence against the prisoner into execution, gained for them selves the approbation of every well-disposed and loyal citizen of the British empire. The calumnies that had been uttered against the law officers of the Crown, the vile insinuation that they had packed, or rather procured the packing of a jury for the purpose of obtaining a conviction— & charge which we rrgret to see was again put for ward by the prisoner even after the verdict had been recorded—were all proved utterly groundless. As we predicted, the matter was brought to the most conclusive and satisfactory test. The array was challenged, and the Crown, in place of demurring to that challenge, mcst fairly joined issue on the facts, alleging " that the panel had been properly arrayed by the High Sheriff." The testimony adduced on behalf of the prisoner most signally failed in establishing any partiality or undue interference. The first witness, Mr. PETER CASSERIT, an attorney, who has been in the habit of practising in the Court, and was well acquainted with the general class of jurors returned for the t►ial of criminals, deposed that the only difference was that the jurors on the present occasion mere rather more respectable than those generally summoned, that he did not thereby mean a more aristocratic class, but that it was the only difference he perceived. It wit.; not, however, merely the absence of all proof in support of the challenge that justified the law officers. Nothing could be more explicit or con clusive than .the evidence of the lligh Sheriff; that gentleman proved " that the panel was all prepared by himself on one occasion—that he merely asked the position in life of the parties on the list — and that at the time he prepared those panels he was unaware of the religion or politics of the parties, nor did he recollect ,any one saying any thing of their religion or politics." After this, we trust that those vile insinuations may be altogether aban doned. The Attorney-General also, in the course of his most powerful address, fully and completely vin dicated himself from the charge that he had insulted the members of his own religion by directing Roman Catholics to be excluded from the jury. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers (f Saturday and Sunday. The Journal des Debats, the Presse, and the other organs of ths.ex-dynasty are furious against the Na- tional Asseinbly for having passed the decree of ba nishment against the Orleans family. The Reforme, on the contrary, considers that the Assembly would have failed in its duty had it neglected to banish a " dynasty twenty times perjured, and which confis cated law, liberty, honour—a dynasty which made of electoral France a paddock of cattle, and of labouring France a bagne —the dynasty of shame, in short;" while the National thus coolly and unanswerably places the question upon its proper basis. It says— " With respect to the fallen dynasty the Republic can have no other sentiments than the most profound disdain for the King, who, charged by imprudent men with the direction of France, sacrificed the fortune, dignity, and honour of his country to his own interest; the most profound indifference for the Princes, who were together the fruits of ihis policy. But why, then, have a decree of banishment? The reasons are so evident tkat there is not a I'he pry y has the elowed a fatalpas s ali ment, s u nt ti tt i e n t f good which t h re7rhi l u - t d u t. ‘ n s - o e f ;: m t F a a e d u P a t r not whic h e n a t t i a nd d be IY ill exis d t ** , 6 t L Y :t d no t a merit, and oppirtunities for being led away. Now such . would certainly be, to some persons easy to miskad, the consequence of the presence of any member of the ex dynasty. There are people who keep an entrepot of intrigues and hopes for all emigrations, and all fallen royalties. Such a branch of industry must not be favoured. It would be a crime not to prevent the most distiint and most improbable eventuality of the effusion of blood, or of any perturbation whatever in society. By the decree of banishment it is not pretended to in flict a penalty, Isut simply to take a measure of police. Persons are not proscribed—but the causes of conflict are. And let us be permitted to say all our opini. n. Et was right to fix no term to the exile, because, caused by the necessities of the present, end not by a sentiment ‘,l vengeance of France, other circumstances can only abridge it. But when there shall be no more incon venience in crtain measures, which would now be a clinger, nut for the Republic, but for the blind pa,sions which must be protected against themselves, the mag nanimity of the French natiou may undo what its prudence has dune." After the divheion on the decree of banishment against Louis PHILIPPS and his family, two mea sures of considerable importance were presented to the National Assembly. The first was by the Minis ter of Finance fur securing an uniform rate of postage. It is as follows : " Art. 1. From Ist Jan. 1849, the. rate of postage for a single letter throughout the whole of France is fixed at 20 centimes. "Art. 2. The weight of a single letter is inert used to 10 grammes. "Art. 3. The Post-office is authorised to carry as let ters settled packets of papers of the weight of tiom 10 to 125 grammes. These packets shall be charged at a fixed rate of If., to whatever part of France they Guy be sent." The Bill was referred to the Committee of Finance. The second, presented by M. CREMIEWE the Mi nister of Justice, was for the re-establishment of the law of divorce. The following is the text of the pro. posed measure : " Art. 1. The law of Bth May, 1816, is abrogated. In conavquence, the provisions of chapter 6, book 1, of the Civil Code, come again into force from the date of th e promulgation of the present law. " Art. 2.

Committee of the National WoJkohops, and iippi:ring M. LEOY LALANNE direct Air of th,he e:staldiAnfient, in the room of M. EMILK THOMAS, who had left on a mis sion for Bordeaux. Paris was quite quiet on Saturday night, and yesterday tranquillity remained undisturbed, al though an address was posted on the walls of Paris on Sunday morning, calling on the operatives em ployed in the national workshops to proceed at two o'clock on that day to sign a petition to the Execu tive Government, praying that M EMILE THOMAS be not removed from their direction without speci• flying the cause ; and that if he has been accused of any crime he should be brought to trial and convicted before he be deemed guilty. M. MioNET, the historian, has been di-missed from the office he held in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, tor writing a letter vthich has been pub ishcd in the Italian papers, recommending the Lombards and Venetians to chooEe CHARLES ALBERT as their King. The ott club of BARnEs hz:s been reconstituted. M. JJARBES and M. RAISANT, though in confine ment, wilt be appointed honorary President and Vice-President; M. LAMIEUS3ENS is to e the Pre. sident. M. TEELAT, the Minister of Public Works, has issued the following proclamation : " NOTICE TO THE WORKMEN OF TIIE ATELIERS NATIoNAUX. " The Government is occupied in preparing for the re-or 4 uniz Ltion of the national workshops measures which have become absolutely nt cessury. Errors which are prejudicial to the interests of the state, as to those of the true labourers, were committed in the midst of the hurry with which the first brigades were obliged to be formed. The consequence was that many possessed of private resources were admitted to the benefits of the inscription, while others caused themselves to be inscribed several times under false names, and thus succeeded in obtaining the wages of several. The place due to deserving workmen has thus been frequently occupied without any real right, and even by trauctulent means. It is to be to that expenses abued in this manner are too heavy to permit the state to continue, as she hap, the firm intention to assure work to the labouring popu lation. Under .such circumstances It becomes necessary to proceed to a new cur. lment. Fur from throwing any' obstacle in the way of such a measure, all true workmen should lend it their support, for it is is iu,t one, and be cause, far from attacking any of their rights or their position, it is more especially for their own interest. The Government will not have appealed in vai❑ to their senti ments of honour and of loyalty. It counts upon them, sty they may rely upon it. (Signed) " TIIELAT, The Minister of Public Works." Prince Louis NAPOLEON has addressed a letter to the National Assembly, in which he states that hay ing heard that there was a proposition - made in the Committees of the Assembly, that he of all Ihe Bonaparte family should be banished from France. he thinks it necessary to declare, that although he put forward preten4ons of a different kind as as Louis PHILIPPE was upon the throne, now that the Republic is established, all he a,ks are his rights as a simple citizen. M. Acrimu FouLD,: the bank,rl and M. }hr.. POLITE PASSY, once a Minister under Louts Pitr- LIPPE, have decla-ed themselves as candidates for the representation of Paris. Both candidates may be con- sidered as reactionists. They have not the decent hypo crisy even to profess allegiance to the Republic, but in their addresses preserve a silence, which is in such a case more eloquent than words. The reactionnaires are hi coming every day more and more bold, and it is from them rather than from the communists that danger is now to be apprehended. The National Assembly met on Saturday, at half-past twelve. The report of the Committee on M. Billault's propo sition to prevent tumultuous assemblage within a dis tance of 1,200 metres of the National Assetnbly was presented. It recommends the adoption of the measure. The Bill relative to the establishment of Councils of Prod 'Hommes throughout the whole extent of the Re public, and which had been discussed the preceding day, was adopted without a dissentient voice. M. Leon Faucher developed his proposition, de manding that a credit of ten millions should be opened for the purpose of executing new earthworks on seven,' railway lines. The Honourable Member dwelt on the immense sums at present paid in Paris for doing absolutely nothing, at an expente of not doss than seventy -two millions a year, and argued that to keep a vast nuint.er of men thus collected together, without any real employ ment, was most dangerous to the public peace at present, and was sure to produce hereafter the most disastrcus effects on the morals and industrious habits of the population. Men supported thus in idleness, were, he said, peculiarly open to invi tatioes to disorder from persons wishing► to produce anarchy in the country; and, in addition, a continuance in such a condition would soon snap the bonds which bound man to his fn:nilt• and to the state. To remove these men to the various railways v‘ hich required works to be expeuttql, would he serviceable to the state, at the same time that it would tend to raise the morale of the men employed.—Ordered to be taken into consideration and referred to the standing Committet s on labour public works, and finance. _ • M. Montreuil developed his proposition, demanding 300 millions, to be applied at the rate of 30 millions a year, to clearing waste lands in Algeria. The mode of raising this um, the Hon. Member said, would be by a 1 'an, which the unanimous joy manifested in France at the establishment of the Republic would render it an easy matter to raise. lie concluded by proposing to refer the propoaition to the Committee on labour, agri culture, and finance. M. Beaumont (de la Somme) considered that, how ever useful might be the views of the Hon. Deputy, they were nut capable of being carried into executien at. present. The Government was, no doubt, well en ugh inclined to encourage every plan likely to give etnplo)- tnent to the working classes. but the wants of the mother-coun ry claimed its attention first, and when these had been sAisfied something could be done fur Algeria. But, independently of the other rea.on, which might be brought forward against the propcee thin, the tt.ct of 300 millions being demanded would he quite sufficient to prevent the vropeitien being enter tained. He thought the mutter ought to be referred to the Mteisttit of War. M. Flocee, Minister of Commerce and Agriculture, took that opportunity of informing the Assembly that the department over which he presided had been busily en gaged in studying the question of reclaiming waste land= in France, anti in a few days a measure should be pre sented on that subject. With respect to the proposition now before the House, he had no opposition to make to its being referrtd to the Committee on Agriculture. General Cavaignac, Minister of War, thought it would be as well to give the population of Algeria a mark of the interest which the Assembly took in the welfare of the colony. He, therefore, should support the sugges tion to have the matter also referred to the Committee on War: he thought it would be better to substitute that on Algeria. The Assembly decided that the proposition should be taken into consideration, and that it should be referred to the Committees on Agriculture, Finance, and Algeria. General Clement Thomas developed his proposition tending to except from the law interdicting in the army any person to receive at the same time a pension and pay for active service. The majors, adjutant-injors, drum-majors, and drummers of the National Guard were in general old officers and soldiers on half-pay, who had been appointed to their new situations, from being the best able to fulfil the duties thereof from their having had the necessary experience. The emoluments were very moderate, and he considered that no objection could well be made to his demand.—Ordered to be taken iuto consideration and referred to the Committee on the Interior. M. Pietry presented a proposition, declaring that the Bill of 1832, banishing the Bonaparte family from the soil of France should be abrogated.—(Hear, hear.) The proposition was signed by a great number of members. —To be developed on a future day. M. Koenig presented a proposition for an improved manner of admitting substitutes in the army.—To be developed on some future day. Colonel Roy brought forward a proposition tending to replace the effigy of Napoleon on the cross of the Lg.gion 'it flon , ur, and LI remove from it the crown, from which at present it is suspended.—Ordered to be developed on Monday. M. Xavier Durrieu wished to have a day appointed on which explanations could be demanded from the Minister or Foreign Atlarp, relative to the late events in Naples. France was bound to second the movement in that country, and the Assembly no doubt would be anxious to learn how far that had been done. He should name Monday fer the purpose. M. J. Favre had to reply for the Honourable Minister alluded to, who was absent, that he was quite ready to re ply on any day that might be fixed, but he had to ask that the day might be as distant am c,envenient, in order that precise information might have b.en received on the matter. He should propose Wednesday next. This was tweed to. Blavoyer stated, the Committee on the regulations having e.•n applied to, to consider the manner in which the communications should take place between the co mmittees sod the various ministerial departments, had decided that they sht9uld be direct between the pre sidents er secretaries of the ciarunittee and ministers themselveh, and nut their chef:-de•cabinet or clerks. Adopted. M. Duclerc (Minister of Finance) proposed the draft of a decree, which he desired to be examined d'urgence, declaring ttiat the Govetnment, wishing to recompense the services of such persons as had, under the former Government, suffered imprisoldront fur their political opinions, had oppointed them to situations in the vari ous services t but as these persons h a d b een f or t he most i part ruined n their . wordly pro s p ec t s , an d we re quite unprovided with funds to meet the expense of proceed ing to several places of destination, and there installing themselves, the Government proposed that a credit of 100,000 f. li.. v,ord 1..1 - the. rrpo,e.—Or'er to be d" . ~17;5.,..,1 .1, al , l c~;i}•, z: 7 1;.4 .(1 ('{:rite at !..,:*-1),:q three. :ALN'INI..;SS 1 1 1)SE IN ItAi I, AY!, AT 11 - l t I.l►\►~t►\ NtiE. %Lav 27.
