The orders to march Were issued at an early hour on the 22d of February, and the whole of the troops composing this force (excepting the 3d brigade, which was not ex pected to start from head-quarters at Goojrat before the Ist instant, with the heavy guns and mortars that were to accompany) march , :d about eight, a.m., and kept up the pursuit for eighteen miles, under a hot sun and through a kingly country, in the direction of the Khoree pass, it being understood that the only road practicable for guns lay through that defile. The force reached their encamping grourai about four, r.ae ; the sepoys, of course, considerally fatigued, as they had been unable to cook the day before, and were even now without the necessary appliances for so doing. During the night a heavy storm came on—the same storm appears to have raged all along the outer range of the Himalayas, as it extended to Mussoorie, and was felt here in the masses of dust that filled the air for two or three days aner the 24th. On the 28d the march was resumed, and the force reached Khoree, the position which the Seikhs occu pied in such force after having evacuated Russool. The Bombay civision were halted, to prevent, we presume, any attempt of the enemy at occupying the rear, while Brigaddir General Mountain went en through the pass to Pooran. It was considered fortunate the enemy were not inclined to hold or defend the gorge, as it was found very strong, the guns being obliged to pass through singly, and it was the wonder of all what could have induced the Seikhs to abandon such a strong position for the one they occupied at Goojrat. A hail-storm occurred as the troopi were passing up the defile, and rain fell in torrents for some time after their arrival at Pooran, so that the tents were greatly delayed, and the sepoys were for the third day prevented from cooking. They consoled themselves, however, with the hope that they would halt the next day, at General Gilbert having received intel ligence that the enemy were crossing over with guns, and that if the forge hurried on they might pnssibly intoreept them, the march was resumed on the 24th of February , the horse artillery and cavalry moving on a head ; but although Lumsden's guides—of which corps Lieu- tenant Sale has been appointed adjutant—fell in with a few stragglers, and cut up about forty of them, the main body had effected their passage before the British troops reached Nourungabad, and were comfortably en camped on the right bank of the river, on either side of the town of Jhelum. The march from Pooran to. Nourungabad, which is opposite to Jhelum, was 16 miles, and the sepoys were at last enabled to prepare their food—the European portion of the force had not been much better off, and a good night's rest made all square for the morning of the 25th. The enemy were supposed to have frem 17 to 20 guns with them, some of which they sent across e hen they left Russool, managing to carry off the rest front the field of battle. Major Lawrence arrived in the camp of General Gilbert from head-quarters, and went across the river, during the 25th, with some difficulty, as the Seikhs had collected all the boats they could lay their hands on, on their side the river, and burnt a large number of them. He returned to the British camp the same evening, and immediately started for the head-quarters of the Commander-in-Chief at Goojrat, this time the bearer, we believe, of propositions on the part of Raja Shere Singh. It was ascer tained that the whole of the European prisoners were on the other side of the Jhelum in the camp of the Raj,. It appears that Sirdar Akram Khan was not killed, but se verely wounded, in the battle of Goojrat, and many accounts, collected on the advance of General Gilbert, coincided as to his having died subsequently from the effects of his wound; but our native correspondent maintains he bad continued his flight towards Attock, and the report of his death may have been circulated to prevent pursuit. On the 26th of February the Major-General again marched, with his whole force, about six miles up the river, to the vicinity of a ford of three and a half feet in depth, where he made immediate prepara tions for crossing. All our letters speak in high terms of the fertility of the country, and of the luxuriance of the crops they saw in all directions. On the 27th the Major-Ge neral passed a considerable body of his troops across what was at one time considered the main body of the stream, and hence a belief in camp at Goojrat that the Jhelum had been crossed, but on further inspection it was found there were two more branches, one deeper than the one already passed, and likely to give some trouble should the Seikhs defend the ford. As General Gilbert would, under any circumstances, have to wait at Jhelum for his third brigade and guns with heavy ordnance stores, he considered it prudent to effect his crossing at leisure, and was consequently preparing rafts to facilitate the passage of the deepest of the two streams still between him and the right bank of the river. The troops of Maharaja Ghoolab Singh, which had up to the present time been quietly encamped at Meerpore, about eighteen miles north of Jhelum, have now been called upon to co-operate with the British force, and have marched from Meerpoor •, some, it is said, across the Jhelum, so as to take the Seikhs in the rear, and others to wards General Gilberee camp, in the immediate neighbour hood of which a detachment was posted, according to the latest letters received. The following extracts from the Mofussiiite of th• 9th instant, which reached us last night, give the latest news received from the armies of Lord Gough and General Gilbert : " CAMP ' GOOJRAT, MARCH 3.—The reinforcements for Gilbert's division left this yesterday (under Brigadier M'Leod), consisting of her Majesty's 61st Foot, 13th and 22d Native Infantry, Ist Light Cavalry, 4th troop 2d Bri gade Horse Artillery, and the seige train, under Brigadier tluthwaite, C. 8., together with four companies of loot ar tillery. Her Majesty's Glst are to relieve her Majesty's 29th ; the latter corps is very sickly, I regret to say." From letters " direct" from the camp of General Gilbert, dated the Ist and 2d of March, we extract as follows : " Early on the morning of ie 22d the second division of the army, under Sir W. R. Gilbert, moved on, in pursuit of the Seikhi, to the River Jhelum. We arrived opposite Jhe lum on the 26th ; and next day moved on to Chincarpoor. On the evening of the 27th, the left wing of the 2d Euro pean Regiment, the 31st Native Infantry, and Fordyce's troop Horse Artillery, and Dawes' battery, crossed over, and took possession of an ishind. On the 28th ult., the whole of the 2d Europeans, the 31st Native Infantry, and some pins, cros , ed over, and encamped on another island, and this morning, the 2d Europeans, the 3lst Native Infantry, and the guns, marched into this camp (I'ackal, about three miles from the city of Jhelum, on the right bank of the Jhelum). The rest of the troops are now crossing over as quickly as possible; but I suspect three or four days must elapse before Are are all on the right bank. You can form no idea of the difficulty and trouble of crossing a force over the Jhelum. Before the second stream could be crossed we were forced to unload the camels and put their burdens upon elephants The current is extremely rapid, the depth of the river about two and a half or three feet, and the footing very insecure. As yet, however, lam happy to say not a single accident has happened. The personal ac tivity and caution of General Gilbert is wonderful. Of all others he is the very man for such ac expedition as the present. As soon as the enemy heard the British troops were crossing, on the 27th, they retired—the villagers say to Attock ; but others have it that Shere Singh and the remnant of his troops are encamped near a pass (I cannot venture on the name) about twenty-one miles from this. It is asserted that both horse and foot soldiers are daily de serting him ; but this story has been so often told, when the very reverse was the case, that I do not place any confidence the - rein. " March 2.—Colonel Steinbach, with a few of Gboolab Singh's cavalry, has came into camp. At one r.M. all the troops here, consisting of 2d Europeans, 31st and 70th Na tive Infantry, and Dawes' Battery, move on to Rhotas. (The remainder of the force is still crossing). The Irregular Cavalry, which was sent on to Jhelum on the 28th ultimo, took twe 9-inch mortars and a quantity of ammunition, besides nine prisoners. The name of the pass held by the Singhs is Buchilla. It is supposed they can muster :Aid some ten or twelve guns, and about 8,00:. or 10,000 men, of all sorts. Our information, however, is, as usual, so very indifferent that it is a matter of duubt whether another shot will be tired, or whether they have in reality half the strength we give them credit for." We are extremely sorry to hear that, on the morning of the Ist instant, an accident occurred to Brigadier-General Mountain, which it is feared will compel that officer to re• ling ash his present command. One of the Brigadier-Gene ral's pistols went off as he was placing it in the holster, and shot him through the left hand. Since our last we have heard that the report of Ghoolab Singh's death was current at Lahore, Jullunder, and all the principal towns and villages on the frontier; but as we have had no definite information on the point, we Lnagine that the report is without foundation. One account, which reached the shroffs at this station, was this—that one Jorvahir Singh, a Seikh, had stabbed the wily chieftain to the heart. The reason assigned was, that Ghoolab refused to assist Shere Singh, either with troops or money, to carry on the war against the British. We take the following from this morning's Telegraph and Courier, the Editor of which paper states th t he received a packet by the north-west express, which arrived last night, containing extracts from the De , hi Gazette, Agree Messenger, and Mofussilite Extra, of the 10th inst.:— " GOOJRAT, MARCH s.—Gilbert has got possession of the Bukreealah Pass. Mountain, who, you will have heard, shot himself through the hand, is coining back, and Campbell goes on in his stead. The report here is, that Ghoolab Shingh has been poisoned by his khunsamah, at the instigation of his nephew. The Governor-General is very silent, and I fancy we are doomed to a hot weather in tents. lam sorry to say sickness is showing itself in camp, and unless the chief moves out of this stench he will soon have full hospitals."—Mofus- Wife Extra, March 10. "GENERAL GILBERT'S FORCE, IIHOTAS, MARCH 3.—On the Ist of this month more troops crossed the main stream, whilst others moved to the right bank of the river, and on the 2d marched to Rhotas, which is a very large picturesque looking place, and m i g ht have been strong before the d a y o f gunpo vi , delrace'but with artillery opposed to it it could not tlh lies a fo ri r d d pret ty scenery, re sist two hours, being made of brick, and commanded by through a very finely cultivatedt ed the advance of our army. several hills near it.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's new steamer Malta arrived on the 16th inst., having left Singapore on the morning of the Bth; and the Can ton steamer, belonging to the same company, arrived on the 19th inst. The question of opening the city gates at Canton has been the engrossing subject during the month ; we believe that nearly all the respectable part of the native community at Canton will be glad to hare the matter settled, as they are getting tired of it, and it is not argued by them now with the same angry feeling as on former < ccasions. The fear of the Ladrones and of the idle portion of the working classes seems to be the chief cause of alarm, and not the question of the right of opening the city gates to us. The authorities can and must be made to carry out the convention, or the consequences, indirectly, may be injurious to British interests, not only at Canton, but at all the other ports. The conference between her Majesty's Plenipoten- tiary and the Viceroy of Canton, - on the 17tli inst., at the Bogue, which lasted long, must have been important. Nothing has transpired, but it is re ported that Seu has sent to Pekin for positive and final orders from the Emperor about opening the gates at Canton. There is a general feeling of confidence in the firmness and determination of her Majesty's Pleni potentiary to accomplish this and other important points. Trade has felt the effects of the agitation ; but once this question is set at rest, it will improve, and the feeling that it will be settled gains ground. Her Majesty's ship Hastings, Sir F. Collier, re turned from the Bogue on the 19th inst., with her Majesty's steamers Fury and Medea; her Majesty's brig Arab returned to Whampoa ; and the lion. Corn • pany's steamer Phlegethon, to Canton. The Columbine remains at Amoy, and the Mariner at Slianghae. Her Majesty's steamer Scout has not yet come down from Foochow. Her Majesty's brig Pilot arrived on the 21st inat. from Labuan. Her Majesty's steamer Inflexible returned from a cruise on the l.9thinst. withouthaving found any trace of the Kelpie. Her Majesty's steamer Fury is to proceed on a visit to the northern ports with the Admiral on the 28th inst. We have to communicate the distressing news of two missing officers, Captain Da Costa and Lieu tenant Dwyer, at Chuck •chu, yesterday; and it is feared that some sad catastrophe has befallen them, as no trace of them has yet been discovered. The 'latest dates are—from London the 24th of December; Calcutta, 9th of January; Bombay, 19th of January; Madras, 13th of January; and Singa pore, Bth inst. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. BOMBAY MARKETS. FROM THE 3D TO THE 16TH OF MARCH, 1849, INCLUSIVE. During the week succeeding the date of our last report scarcely any business was transacted, owing to the celebra tion of the II ooli holidays. After these had closed, however, a considerable amount of activity prevailed in the import market, and sales to a large extent have taken place in piece goods of all descriptions, but in particular those in the grey. Cotton Piece Goods-Of 40-inch grey shirtings some large parcels have arrived since our last, which, however, have not had any effect on prices, which are on the whole as high as at the date of last report. 43-inch are still inquired after. Bleached shirtings hare undergone a slight reduction in value, owing to a large supply having come to hand during the fortnight. The same remark applies to grey madapollams, the market for which is dull ; while for bleached the demand is steady. Grey jaconete are in good request; but the price of bleached, owing to recent arrivals, has somewhat further given way.-For grey long cloths a brisk demand exists.- Grey domestics: A good inquiry exists for light 24 yard cloths, as also for T cloths ; and of both the stocks on hand arc trifling. In the finer and heavier makes we have no change to report.-Dyed and fancy goods: For Turkey red plain cloth a good demand exists, while dullness prevails for twilled, which remark also applies to Turkey red prints. Little has been done in Scotch fabrics, and the quantities re ceived during the fortnight have been large. Cotton Yarn-A steady demand for this staple exists at present. Sales to the extent of 310 bales of Mule, and 345 of Water have been effected. at an improved price for Nos. 40 and .1 of the former. Of both, the stocks are light.

Metals-Iron-The demand existing at date of last report for Swedish bar has partly subsided, as has also that for British, the price of whieh has still further declined. The latter remark applies equally to the other descriptions of Iron. For Copper of all kinds an active inquiry exists. The price of Pig and Sheet Lead has slightly given way, while that of Spelter remains steady. 200 cwt Sheathing Copper, et rs 643,i per cwt; 200 cwt Braziers, 4 4, at rs 64N per cwt ; 225 candies English Bar Iron, at rs 32 per cwt.

Woollens-Stocks light. No sales during the fortnight. EXPORTS. Cotton Wool-The advices received by last mail from home caused an advance in prices, and considerable activity has prevailed during the last week. Supplies from the in terior have been received, but not nearly to the extent which had been expected. Since our last 7,850 bales and 1,900 candies have been sold, of which the following are details :- 700 bales Broach (new) at rs. 80 per candy, 600 ditto at 80 ditto, 225 ditto at 82 ditto, 1,000 ditto at 83 8 ditto, 1,000 ditto at 84 ditto, 500 ditto at 80 ditto, 100 to (old) at 65 ditto, 100 Dollera (old) at 70 ditto, 10.' ditto at 76 ditto, 550 ditto (new) at 75 8 ditto, 650 ditto at 76 8 ditto, 700 ditto at 77 ditto, 600 ditto at 78 ditto, 400 ditto at 80 ditto, 125 ditto at 78 ditto, 509 ditto at 81 8 ditto, 200 candies Oomrawutty (new) at 79 ditto, 500 ditto at 80 ditto, 1,000 ditto at 80 ditto, 150 candies orebunder (new) at 73 ditto, SO candies Compta (old) at 66 ditto. Opium-Although unfavourable advices were received by the last mail from China, the price of this drug has again ad vanced-re. 1,330 per chest having been paid for first qua lity. Holders continue firm, owing to a moderate supply, and an expected short crop for the ensuing season. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pekin takes l,( 20 chests on to China, and will sail on the 19th instant. Linseed-We have a large supply in the market, and the article is freely offered at re. 2 10 annas per cwt., partially garbled. Freights-The rate for Liverpool and London again im proved, vessels having been engaged.at 45. per ton. To China the rate has declined since cur last, 15rs. to 15i-s. being now obtainable.

Transactio.:s at Is 10N d to Is 10 1 ,4 d for first-class private paper have had effect, and this we quote at the day of the rate. CALCUTTA, Maxcli 17. Money Market-Since the date of our last we have been placed in possession of home news up to the 24th of January. The second mail of that month c ime to hand on Sunday, the 14th inst. The intelligence received by that opportunity as regards commercial afla rs continue of a favourable com plexion, and cannot but influence, in due time, a considerable improvement in the position of our local markets. For some time past business has been improving with us, and we trust we shall have to make a much more favourable report in our next issue. As we anticipated, the favourable tenor of the commercial intelligence received by the last opportunity has had a beneficial influence on the position of our export market here ; and since then business has been doing generally more freely, and a better inquiry has existed for all our lead ing staples. Indigo has been in animated requisition, and latter Bales show an upward disposition in the market. The improvement noticed in sugar has continued, and the market wears an advancing appearance. Saltpetre shows little or no change, but continues in steady request, at full former prices. In rice we have an improved business doing, and perhaps more than might have been anticipated. Raw silk shows improvement since our last, and business has been doing at gradually improving prices. In corahs a moderate business has been reported at steady prices. Jute remains stationary, and steadily moving forward. Shell lac and lac dve have come into better notice, and prices have improved. Upon the whole the export market has been characterised by more spirit and animation latterly, and the operations of January and the past month are on an improving scale. Since arrival of the mail prospects have further improved. yet t little good decline e cl groundsin e during fur the saying month t t e ; The Import Market-The spirit of this branch of our and although wed ()salon , we are unable to report the market is in a moderate demand, but prices remain firm. been in more business has undergonehavesona'' small decline during the month, with usual scale of operations.goop British cotton piece goods have Mule twist shows a .

We continue to have slight evidence of an mprovcd feeling in this market, but hardly sufficient to give s room to say that commercial confidence and credit are renrning among us at anything more than an exceedingly diitory pace. The following ex hibits the market value of bulion and foreign coin, and shows the current rates of banking ransactions : Bank of Bengal Rates—DiPounts—Private bills and notes at or within three months, ft 7 per cent. per annum; Go vernment acceptances, 4 dtk, Interest charged—On axed loans, not exceeding three ronths, on deposit of Company's paper, 5 per cent, per annutt; on opium, 6 do.; on deposit of metals and indigo, 6 do. ; On deposit of other goods, 7 do. ; on accounts of credit. not eyieeding three months, on depo sit of Company's paper, 5i 10.; on opium, 6i do.; on de. posit of metals and indigo, ft do.; on deposit of other goods. 7 1 1 , do.

Loan at a shade below ourquotations. A very fair amount. of business has latterly lees doing. In Bank of Bengal shares we have no change to notice ; they continue to be quoted low, and nothing is doing in them. Oth e r Bank Shares are dull and inactiv?, and completely neglected. Exchange— We have ID a:teration to notice in the rates of exchange on England. Drawers have latterly been dis posed to show more firmness, but without inducing any al teration as yet. A scarcity of bills is felt. Our quotations are still Is. Wid to Is 10 5 / 0 per rupee for good bills with dGcuments at six months fight. The demand fur bills has latterly improved, and an active business has been doing in indigo. Silk and coralis ,through the export warehouse, at is 10d per rupee. Freights—Since date of rut last report the rates of home ward freightage have retrained steady, until lately, when they began to fluctuate. Notwithstanding the arrivals du ring the past fortnight, and the consequent succession of available tonnage in the riser, the wants of the export market have been sufficient to impart firmness in the market, and the tendency is to advance IMPORTS. Copper—The market fog this metal has been rather quiet throughout the month, and operations have been somewhat below average extent. Prices continue steady. Iron—A fair amount of business has been transacted under this head, and the market wears a healthy appearance, al though within the past few days it has been rather quiet. Hoop and sheet continue in favour. Speltre—This article has taken another start, and prices have advanced, being now quoted at Co.'s Rs. 9-12 to 10 per md. Sales are reported :-3,850 rods. at Co.'s Re. 8-9 to 10 per md. Latterly a small decline is observable. Sales, 1,500 mds. at 9.4. Steel—We have not had much doing under this head, and prices continue to be quoted at our former figures. 900 mds. of Sweedish have been placed at Co.'s Its. 6-4 per md. Quicksilver—The market remains without activity. The transactions of the past month are :-45 boxes at Co.'s As. 4-8 to 4-8.3 per fy. Ind., and of this boxes at 4-8.3. Tin Plates—The market continues dull and inactive. Cotton Piece Goods--Since our last in g ort of average. But then we have had no interi;ption of native holidays. Little or no change, however, is observable in the position of this market, and although the amount of business has been comparatively small, prices have been well sustained. Stocks of the principal staples continue low, which inspires holders with the hope of realising enhanced rates. This, we have no doubt, they will succeed in doing. The want of encouraging accounts from the up csuntry marts have served to occasion the check above noticed in the spirit of this market. Mule Twist—We are unable to report the usual busines under this head. The market has continued to exhibit declining aspect for some time. Stocks are however low, and we have every reason to calculate that the downward progress of prices must be arrested. Operations of the period under notice have been moderate. No. 40 has been placed at 0-41 to 0-4% per morah, and other numbers in propor tion. In coloured yarns we have no change to notice. Pricce of all qualities Turkey red are low, and little desire is shown to lay in stocks. German dye has been placed at 1-2-8 to 1-3-0 latterly. In other colours very little is doing. Within the last few days the market shows improvement. Woollens—We have no improvement to notice in this market, which remains generally speaking inactive. The following business is reported :—Drab, 24 pieces at 4 4 per yard ; assorted, 264 pieces at 1 10 to 2 14 per yard ; ladies' ditto, FO pieces at 3 per yard. Wines and Liquors—A fair amount of business has been reported under this head during the month. Sales are -300 dozens French brandy, at Co.'s Its. 10 to 12-3 per dozen ; 2 Mids. ditto, at 2.11 per gallon; 4 hhds. English brandy, at Co.'s Rs. 2-12 per gallon; 30 cases gin have been placed at Co.'s Rs. 14-12 per case; 400 dozen French brandy have been lately placed at Rs. 9 to 12 per dozen. Ales—The market presents no change at all. Stocks in first hands are low, and prices of the favourite brands steady. Bottles—The market shows no activity, the only transac tions we have heard of is 38.801) Englist quarts, at Co.'s Rs. 8 8 per 100.

Prices have an upward disposition. Silk Piece Goods—A fair amount of business has been doing in Coraha, but latterly the quality of goods offering has been medium and low, and stocks are reduced. The follow ing sales have been reported :-6,380 pieces Cossimbazar Corals at 82 to 101 per corge ; 410 pieces Choppas at 93 to 94; and 780 pieces Tussars, at Co.'s Its. b 14 to 6 each. Saltpetre—A steady business has been doing in this staple during the whole month, and prices have been well supported. The inquiry remains good, and prices are steady. Sugar—The active inquiry for this staple noticed in our last has continued, and business has only been restricted by the limiter amount of stock. Prices have been looking up, but latterly the market has been unsteady, though with an upward tend. ncy. Hemp and Jut e —Th e market for the latter article has ex perienced no change, and prices h ave also been well main tained. A fair a m ount of business has been done dur i ng t h e month—namely, 1,98 0 mds. at Co.'s Rs. 8 to 9 per bale. Rice—During th e early part of the month a moderate de mand was making for this article for the home market, but latierly a better feeling is observable. The market is firm, and prices have not declined. Transactions are 6,320 mds. at Co.'s Rs. 1 9 0 to 2-2 per md. Lac—The advance we noticed in our last in the value of both shell lac and lac dye has been maintained. Latterly an improved demand is making for these goods.

Fan. 27.—The improvement in our import market, which was fully anticipated in our last, has been checked by the excitement produced in consequence of the interview be tween the Imperial C omm i ssioner Seu and his Excellency the Governor, held at th e B ogue, on the 17th inst., in re ference to the question o f opening the city gates of Canton, theugh little has transpi re d of the result. A fair bus i ness has been done early in th e month, but the principal dea l ers are now holding back, and the Shroffs refraiq from affording the usual facilities. Cotton has declined, in consequence of the eagerness of holders to realise. Our quotations are, for Bombay Ts., 5 6 to 6 4; Bengal Ts. ' 7 2 to 7 8. Madras Ts., 7 to 7 4 . The stock amounts to 78,500 bales, against 79,500 bales last year. Cotton Yarn is also rather lower, and we quote Nos. 16-24 21% dolls. to 23% dolls. ; Nes. 28-32, 25 dolls. to 26% dolls, ; Nos. 38-42, 26 dolls. to 28 dolls.

Purchases have been confined to the trade, and, as compared with last week, prices have fallen nearly f per lb. In yarns the market is also dull. In goods a fair trade is doing. In some of the powerloom factories here the hands have struck for an advance of 7f per cent. in wages. A meeting of the mill-owners is to be held on Tuesday to decide whether the advance be granted or resisted. Pig Iron.—Our pig iron market has been very dull dur ing the week. Sales to-day at 475. 6d. for mixed num bers, at which rate the market left off sellers; no buyers above 475. The large accumulation of stock at present going on tends to shake the confidence of dealers in the article. Bar iron is steady at 61. 103. per ton. WROTHAM ' KENT, APRIL 15.—Yesterday morn ing the wife of Mr. James Fremlin, of the Black Horse, Stanstead, was confined with three fine full-grown chil dren, two girls and one boy, who, together with their mother, are doing well. Mr. F. 11. F. Berkeley, M.P., had an interview with Sir George Grey yesterday at the Home-office. NING, APRIL 18, 1849. a-1E FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. There was an evening sitting of the Assembly on Monday for the purpose of receiving the report of the Committee, to whom the question of urgency on the Ministerial plan for intervention in the affairs of Rome, had been referred. The Assembly met at half after eight o'clock on Monday evening. M. JULES FAVRB, as reporter to the Committee, declared that they were unanimous in recommending the urgency demanded by the Government, at the same time stating that the decision had been come to solely on the understanding that the Government did not intend to co-operate in the subjection of the present Roman Republic, nor to allow the flag of France to float by the side of that of Austria. M. ODILON BARROT congratulated the country on the unanimity which had prevailed in the Committee on this important subject, or rather with regard to its urgency. The Government would, he said, make its policy prevail, which was not to permit a restoration of the POPE in any way butaccording to its influence and its principles. The Government would in all things consult the interest of France, protect the peop!e of Italy against oppression, secure their rights, and only expend the treasures of France to save Rome from the fatal crisis with which she was threatened.— (Murmurs on the Left.) M. LEDRIJ ROLLIN said the proposition of the Go vernment was unconstitutional. It was an act of cowardice in favour of Austria; a war was undertaken not to deliver a people, but to oppress them. The Government, he contended, was following all the errors of the revolution of July. What was it about to undertake ? The restoration of the PLPE ? The whole country would rise against it. General LAMORICIERR said if France remained in active the Austrians would restore the POPE, and would re-establish him with absolute power, and the liberty, not only of Rome but of all Italy would be compromised ; whereas, when the French expedition should be at Civita Vecchia, and the Austrian army should march on Rome, the French forces would be there at the same time, and save, if nit the Roman Republic, at least, the liberty of the Romans. After a few further observations from some Mem bers, Art. 1 was put to the vote, and adopted by a majority of 395 to 283. Art. 2 was also adopted. A division then took plies on the ensemble, but it was found that one voice was wanting to make up the requisite number, and the final division was postponed to the following day. The effective force of the expedition to the Roman States is to be 14.000 men. The Patris of Monday evening announces that the Government had received the following telegraphic dispatch, dated Marseilles, 16th April, 9 o'clock, A.nt. : " TIE MINISTER OF FRANCE TO THE MINISTER FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS. " FLORENCE, APML 12. " A reaction in favour of the Grand Duke has taken place at Florence. The whole population pronounced with enthusiasm. " M. Gueruzzi is kept a prisoner in his house. " The Assembly is dissolved. " A deputation has proceeded to Gaeta." MM. 'Arousal and CREPO have been elected Mem bers of the Council of State.

Exchange on London, 49 95 money. FRANKFORT. Advices from Frankfort of the 14th, state that on that day the Plenipotentiaries of 28 of the Govern ments of Germany signed a document in which those Governments give their adhesion to the Constitution of the Empire, and the acceptance by the King of PRUSSIA of the hereditary imperial Crown. The Plenipotentiary of Wirtemberg had no authority to sign. Hesse Cassel protests against the Constitution and election of the KING as treason to the German people. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. Accounts have been received from Pesth of the 7th. Ofen and Pesth are in a state of siege, in collie • quence of which all large meetings in the streets are prohibited. However, as some have not observed this prohibition , a proclamation has been issued, in which Count INTRENI. says : " I call upon the inhabitants by these presents to re main quietly in their own hcmes, and to abstain from all unnecessary driving of carriages, &c. The patrols are ordered to make use of their firearms in the event of any concourse of the people. The immediate result of any insurrectionary movement, on whatever side, will be the bombardment of the town, for which preparations have already been made. "Count WRANA. " Ofen. April 7. 1849." The Breslau Gazette says :—" It is positively as serted that the city of Pesth was in a state of great agitation on the Bth. Two cannon had been placed on the chain bridge of Ofen to destroy it in case of an outbreak. BAVARIA. The Leipsic Gazette states that the King of BAVARIA has protested against conferring the Im perial title on the King of Panssut, and against organizing Germany without Austria. SCHLES,WIG-HOLSTEIN. The departure of General FABTIER for France is the result of a radical difference of views between him and the Alinister of War, relative to the plan of operations to be adopted in the war of Schleswig- Holstein. It begins, however, to be generally recog nised that the guerilla war proposed by the French General was the best plan to adopt, and it is even asserted in well informed circles that the Danish Go vernment intend to sacrifice Jutland. ITALY. All was quiet at Genoa when the last accounts left. The King of SARDINIA has dispatched General DABORMIDA and Chevalier BoNcorisiouo to Milan, to negotiate terms of peace. Il Positive of Rome says the following are some of the terms imposed by France and England on the POPE as the conditions on which they will aid his return to Rome :—A general armistice, a complete secular government, inviolability of politica l liberty ; abolition of the Holy O ffi ce and ecclesiastical tribu nals, except in the matter of the clergy; the suppres sion of proprietary religious orders, &c . It would A ppear that the Sardinian squadron are still true to the cause of Italian nationality. An Austrian steamer, with two Piedmontese plenipoten• tiaries on board, entered the harbour of Ancona on the 7th, and the Sardinian squadron immediately took its departure. Admiral Albini, on leaving, addressed a dispatch to the Prefect, stating that imperious cir cumstances, and the announcement that Venice was about to be blockaded, obliged him to leave in order to repair to the menaced waters ' • and that he had only the country' s goo d a t h ear t.. Venice is prepared to defend herself at all extremities. The rich citizens have subscribed eight millions for the defence of the Republic. The Government is in possession of funds sufficient to provide for the public service to the end of the present year. SICILY. CAPTURE OP CATAN lA.-ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY THE NEAPOLITANS AND SWISS. The Malta papers of the 10th of April publish the following account of the destruction of Catania by the troops of King Bostne, and of the capture of the ruins of that unfortunate city after an heroic resist ance of three days : " The Neapolitan steamer, Duca di Calabria, arrived on Saturday night las', from Messina, with a dispatch for the Neapolitan consul in this island, stating that the royal troops had taken possession of all the coast from Messina to Catania, and particularly of Jaci, with the view to make a simultaneous attack upon Catania by sea and land. On the morning of the sth, three Neapolitan steamers took up a beautiful position at a abort distance from the city, and opened their fire; the castle and the small forts of the city immediately replied to the fire with much energy and skill, which injured two of the steamers. On that evening the Neapolitans retired; the next day seven steamers appeared, and again opened a terrible fire on the city. The garrison and the inhabitants returned the fire, like the day previous, in such a manner that General Filangieri snw that he must make a simultaneous attack on the city by sea and land; he therefore ordered the troops at Jed to advance upon Catania. The Swiss were the advanced troops, supported by 700 Lancers; the main army, of 16,000 foot, and 32 pieces of cannon, followed. These attacked the city at a weak point, which was ill guarded by the Catanians, and got in, notwithstanding the obsti nate resistance of the defenders. The city then became a real field of battle. As the troops advanced, the re sistance became more obstinate: the assailants, who were fired on from all the houses, and from barricades, became more feroc itown, ous, and the assailed the more tenacious to defend the which superior force only cou ld ta_ke_. The city, bombarded by sea and l and, was acom pelled to surrender, and on the morning of the 7t h por tion of the garrison and a grea t number of the inhabit ants retired to the mountains in perfect order, abandon ing the city to fire and plunder. The greater part of the houses were sacked and destroyed. The public library, the palace of the Marquis San Giuliano, that of the Prince of Careaci, and many other edifices, were burnt. About 1,700 Neapolitans were killed, and a great number more of Sicilians. Such has been the fate of this fine city and its inhabitants. General Filangieri immediately published a proclamation, in which he ordered, that w i t hin twenty-four hours all the inhabitants should give up their arms to the Neapolitan authorities. Sy:acuse was to be attacked on Sunday lasi.. " Her Majesty's steamer bulldog arrived last nig,ht from Syracuse with an account of the surrender of that city. General Werenski, Governor of Syracuse, and his staff came in the Bulldog." The conduct of the Neapolitan troops is represented to have been atrocious in the extreme. They massa cred thousands of the peaceful inhabitants after the troops had retired from the city. Neither age nor ' sex was spared, nor was the neutrality of foreigners respected. Lieut. HOBART, of her Majesty's steamer Bulldog, who was sent on shore on duty, in remon strating with a Neapolitan dragging out a poor woman to death by the hair, narrowly escaped being put to death by the assassin's bayonet. An eye-witness of events in Catania says : " The Sicilians fought bravely and well all the night of Good Friday, till nine o'clock on Saturday morning. After the battle, we landed, and such a scene of carnage and cruelty I never witnessed. The dead and the dying were crowded on each other. " The Neapolitans had buried their own dead, but in rushing through the streets seemed to find a demoniac pleasure in mutilating the senseless clay around them. " I saw three soldiers strike their bayonets into a poor fellow breathing his last, and numberless were they who lay headless in the streets, the victims of more than canine ferocity. " Catania is in ashes! The streets are incumbered with half-burned rafters, immense logs of charred wood occupy, with broken guns and overturned carriages, the place lately teeming with enthusiasm and health. " The Sicilian dead lie unburied—the Neapolitans even kick them as they pass, plunge into the midst of the nearly deserted town, rob, plunder, and destroy, and commit every possible atrocity on helpless innocence or decrepid old age." Another letter says, the details of the operations of the forces of the King of NAPLES, under FILAN GIERI, are of the most revolti ng d escr i p ti on , mar k e d as they are with the horrors of war in their blackest dye. Wrecked villages and smoking houses marked the route of Neapolitans and Swiss for miles along the line of march on the coast. On discovering that • ILANGIERI was approaching the town from behind the hills, where it was not so well defended as on the coast side, the Catanians commenced destroying the approaches, barricading the passages, transferring ordnance to forts commanding the points threatened, and raising temporary batteries, until they had got 18 or 20 guns in a very tolerable position. They then determined to meet the KING'S troops as far from their homes and hearths as they could, and with this view a few of their regular troops, with a large body of the inhabitants, marched about five or six miles from the town, and at this distance, on the morning of the 6th inst., they first came into collision with their foe. They were, however, borne down by numbers (the garrison of Catania consisted only of three regiments), but they disputed every inch of ground. The troops of FILANGIERI continued to push forward, firing the houses as they advanced, burning those within and kill ing those without, until the insurgents, rallying at an elevation under cover of some ruins, checked the enemy for some time. Reinforcements, however, enabled them to make good their approaches to the town, and thus they fought their way, hand to hand, and step by step, overturning the barricades and bayonetting the defenders, until about four lex , when they reached the main street, which runs through the town. Up this street, which is more than a mile long, they advanced, sweeping it with their field pieces, and pouring in vollies of mus ketry at the windows and doorways, the inhabitants resisting fiercely at first, fighting with all the energy of despair as they found no chance of escape. Still the Royalists continued the burning, until at length the whole of the principal street was on fire, and at half-past seven, when all further resistance had ceased, the cathedral, the university, the hospital, and most of the palaces and public buildings, and in fact, the city of Catania, was in flames. The night of the 6th closed on the horrors of a bloody day, the conflagration continuing with some dropping shots of musketry during the night. The next day broke ominously upon the devoted place, now in complete possession of the Neapoli tans and Swiss, excited by drink and infuriated by the severe loss they had sustained from the handful of troops (only three regiments), and the united resistance of the population. The ill fated survivors of the once noble city were given over to the tender mercies of the conquerors, and a general pillage ensued, which lasted from the dawn of the 7th instant until the afternoon of the Bth, during which time burning and destruction of life and property were carried to the most fearful and wanton excess, especially on the 7th, when the most: atrocious massacres were committed, and nei ther age nor sex was spared by the unbridled soldiery. An attempt was made on the second day to put an end to this bloody work on the intercession of the British Vice-Consul and the commander of her Alajesty's steam-sloop Bulldog; and their remon strances, it would appear, bad some effect in saving life, but the town had been utterly wrecked, and scarcely a score pf houses remained standing in the principal street. Whilst this was going on ashore the Neapolitan fleet, composed of three frigates and ten steamers, bombarded and shelled the forts; but little damage was done frc m the sea, nor did the ships suffer from the fire of the batteries. The French steam-frigate Descartes, and her Bri tannic Majesty's steam-frigate Bulldog, were lying off Catania during the whole of the time, and their presence caused the lives and property of the subjects of their respective countries to be respected ; they also received as many as chose to avail themselves of their neutral character for protection, and left Catania with the Neapolitan squadron for Syracuse, on the night of the Bth instant. Neither the destruction of Catania nor the surren der of Syracuse has at all daunted the Palermitans, and it is before Palermo that the wrongs of Sicily will be avenged. The latest accounts from that city state that the courage of the Palermitans rises in pro portion to the desperate character of their cause. It is a confirmed fact that ladies of all classes, including Princesses, Countesses, and other women of rank, have been working in the trenches and on the fortifi cations. The enthusiasm was of th• most exalted nature, and each man and woman bore themselves . as if the success of their cause depended upon a single arm. Palermo was well supplied with efficient ordnance and excellent ammunition, and nil desperan dent was their motto. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, TUZSDAY.

Instead of which, nobody seems to have gut much further, than a vague impression that a colonial rebellion must some time or other break up any connexion that is left. A conclu sion about as sensible, as if every man were to specu late upon a bout of pugilism with his first-bi.rn, and view in this the winding-up of the family connexion. Indeed it is not clear, that. in some rare state of bar barism or other, sometbing like this does not actually take place. An example, and a measure, of the progress made in the economy of political associations, which are nations. On Tuesday Mr. Sadleir brought on his motion for calling attention to the legal circumstances which im pede the sale of landed property in Ireland. And this is another of the questions which dismay by opening the prospect of an interminable abyss, and which still press on all minds with the conseiousness that the thing must be looked into to-morrow or the day after, or at all events some day not far off if not to-day. There is a fashion in despondency, as in everything else; and so it becomes the fashion to be despondent about Ireland, which in truth is only another name for procrastinating and evading putting the shoulder to the wheel. No man doubts that two or three" Whistlers at the Plough," with two or three intelligent and feistiest; Quakers, and a Lord to take the credit, would go to Ire land and bring back something very like a reason able plan, for an effectual beginning of what cannot be begun too soon. If there was no other reason, there is reason in this ; that the rebellion of pots de chambre which has been just had in Ireland, has been one of the mainstays, one of the grand props and instruments, of the succesful suppression, for the present at least, of resistance to the despotisms of Europe. It has clearly cut off all or the greater part of the aid to have been expected from the un deniable feeling of the great majority of the British people Swordin favour o d f o n c e o!i f o t i r n e n Sicily,t a by. l liberty. c Rome, Mr Meagher an . d G e noa; g o h of far, at least, as that can be effected by maiming the arm of British co-operation. Why should Italy be tree, and Mr. Meagher not be First Consul? Wretched as is the syllo gism conveyed, it is enough for Englishmen, with their eyes and ears stuffed by the vulgar agents of our Tory newspapers. For this reason among others, Ireland must be put to rest. And as the means to it, when the time comes, the Repealers in the House must be adjured to silence by all the persuasives the captain of a steam-boat throws before his passengers in a moment of crisis. They have bad their time for talking, and may have it again; but, for a brief moment, the has " conversation with the man at the wheel" the better. One light was struck out by the Member for Carlow, which should be followed up. When stock is sold, no flaws in the seller's title hold against the purchaser; such at least is the assertion. If so, why should not the same be done with land? It does not follow that the identity must be absolutely allowed. But it makes out a strong case of guidance, for a search atter the rea sons why.

DECEASE OF THE DOWNING PROFESSOR OF LAWS. C AIIIBRIDGE, APRIL 17.—Professor Thomas Starkie, Downing Professor of the Laws of England, expired at his lodge in Downing College, on Sunday evening last. at the age of sixty eight. Professor Starkie graduated at St. John's College, and went out in 1803, when he was senior wrangler. He migrated to and was appointed fellow and tutor of Catherine Hall, and subsequently (in 1823) Downing Professor of Laws. He was ap pointed University Counsel in 1825, and lately by the Whig Government to the Judgeship, of the Clerkenwell Small Debts Court. All the above preferments are ren dered vacant by the lamented decease of the Professor, who was respected among all ranks. Professor Starkie, in the year 1840, contested the representation of the bo• rough of Cambridge in the Liberal interest, but was beaten by his Conservative antagonist (Sir Alexander Grant) by a majority of 726 to 647. As an author, the name of the subject of this notice will go down to pos terity in connexion with " Starkie on Evidence," and several works of high and standard reputation. Pro fessor Starkie's death is to be attributed rather to a ge• neral decay of nature than to any specifio disease. U• has, left a family to mourn his loss.

HULL, TUESDAY.—Rumours of the intended doings of the Mayor, Aldermen, and Councillors, inconsequence of the visit of Prince Albert to Lincolnshire, are multifarious.
