Last evening, on the occasion of the second reading of the Administration of Justice (Vancouver's Island) Bill, another discussion took place in the House of Peers as to the impropriety of the trans ference of additional territory to the Hudson's Bay Company. Although several Noble Lords partici pated its. the debate, we can only find two speeches condemnatory of the proceedings—the speeches of Lord BRouonAlt and Lord —ONTEAGLE. As to this there cannot be one moment's clause for astonishment. That the aristocratic portio n of the I.ezkgature should adhere tenaciously to the privilege hitherto enjoyed by them with so much impunity, or, rather, with so much emolu '' went, is but natural. Mutual forbearance is requisite to their common interest. Turn by turn as the Governments succeeded each other, so turn by '` turn is it necessary for the Opposition to wink at such snug transactions as this of the transference of Vancouver's Island. Hence it is by no means matter of surprise to us to find the Earl of ABER' 'BEEN countenancing the jobberies of the Colonial secretary, and eulogising for once the course pursued • by the Administration. The circumstance only • dhows, in the strongest light imaginable, that tip interests of aristocracy are beyond the rivalries of politicians. The triumph of the rascally old system, by which the ruling families have secured to themselves every Dow and then the pick ings of our colonial possessions, is of more import , . ance than the opposition of an antagonist, or even to the ateabilious enmity of the moat bigotted and relentless l• iartizan. The Earl of ABERDEEN afforded last even ing a new and striking illustration of this fact by those flimsy attempts at argument and those jejune efforts at extenuation by which he endeavoured to of Ea r l G REY. If any. bolifer up the poNcy thing else were wanting to testify to the glaring and shameless effrontery, to the monstrous injustice, worst of and to the extravagant impolicy of this , the all the bad acts of the Colonial Secretary , the crown ing proof would be visible in the circumstance that the conduct of the Noble Lord is eulogised by the :•-• 'lrma of ASEPMN. One consideration was so earnestly and admirably treated in the speeches of both Lord MoNrEAGLE and of Lord BROUGLIAM, that to it we must in a particular THE SUN, LONDON. SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 80, IRO. manner direct the attention of the general commu nity. That consideration was, briefly, the notorious fact that the opinion of lawyers is divided as to the validity or invalidity of the charter of* Hudson's Bay Company. And yet it is - To this - Company, whose power over its old dominions reposes upon such a very dubious foundation, that the Government, at the insti gation of the Colonial Secretary, has shuffled away an immense and fruitful island like - that of Vancouver t It is to this company that Quadra has been handed over in the middle of the nineteenth century, although upwards_ of 150 years ago, namely, by an Act of Parliament, the 2d of William and Mary, it was declared that the duration of that charter should be no more than septennial. Upon this point, and in regard to the contradictory opinions expressed by Sir SAmuEL ROMILLT and Mr. BELL on the one side, and by Sir ARTHUR PIGOTT and Mr. Sergeant SPANIIIE on the other, Lord BROUGHAM remarked last night very emphatically, that " with respect to the opinions of all lawyers, whether of Chancery, or the Queen's Bench, or the Common Pleas, including his Noble and Learned Friend opposite (Lord CAMPBELL), if they said the charter was legal, he would not care a rush for their opinion, because he found, by the Act of Parliament, that that opinion could not be right." Know ing thus much, it must assuredly strike the most unreflecting mind, and those least prejudiced either for or against the transaction, that out of all the great commercial associations in the world, scarcely one could have been selected whose acquisi tion of Vancouver's Island must have appeared in a light so peculiarly rash and perilous. Beyond the circumstances of this heavy doubt being entertained as to the validity of the charter of the Company of Fur-Traders—a company originally constituted in the reign of King CHARLES the SEcoND—it cannot be forgotten by those who have studied the annals of the development of our colonies, that that company, from the very nature of its trade, is inimical to the cause of colonization. Upon this subject, Lord MONTELGLE expressed himself in the most explicit and unequivocal language. " Here," he exclaimed, in a tone eflindignant amazenln t, '" here is E grant of a whole island to a trading company, whose pur suits of the fur trade incapacitate' them for the ad ministration of the new function's which devolve on them as colonizers !" Further on the Noble Lord protested against the transference on the score that " it is notorious that under the Hudson's Bay Com pany there is no fair administration of justice." Referring to the inconsistency of the Colonial Secre tary throughout the transaction, LordMoNTEAGLE re minded the House that when Prince Edward's Island was granted, not to one company, but to five or six indi viduals, no one had commented more severely on that grant than the very nobleman who was now instru mental in consigning to the power and jurisdiction of the fur-traders a large island which was invaluable, if only as a coaling station. Notwithstanding all these home truths, the Colonial Secretary so far brazened the matter out as to secure the second reading of the measure. Great, however, as is our estimation of the force of effrontery, we cannot but think that the proceeding is altogether too gross an act of jobbery to be sanctioned by the indirect approval of either of the Houses of Parliament. The !grant has been so very evidently contrived for the promotion of private, nay, more, of family interests—with the sacrifice of the interests of the Empire and of the cause of co lonisation—that we are still sanguine of observing a protest made against it in Parliament, so indignant direct, and emphatic, as to prevent the completion of the intentions of the Government. The case of the Duke of BRUNSWICK v. iliamEa, to which we have already directed the public atten tion, is worthy of more than a mere passing al lusion. It should be maturely and seriously con sidered in its various aspects as affording, perhaps, the strongest illustration of the grave responsibi lities to which a public journalist is exposed under the existing law. These responsibilities had ever been regarded as sufficiently onerous. No un due leniency was exhibited towards those who under took the important duty of enlightening the public mind, and of recording a faithful chronicle of passing events. Every person in any degree %Inv rechim....tlx..l arrc-rrrptercr might be severely punished, not only in purse, but in person, for any abuse of the powers belonging to the " fourth estate." The proprietor, printer, publisher, in fact every one, down to the humblest messenger in the employment of the office, were both civilly and criminally responsible for every publication. It might be morally as well as physically impos sible that any single individual could have been aware of every article that appeared. Nay, it might be clearly and distinctly proved that he was wholly ignorant of its nature until after publication; still he must assume a vicarious liability, almost unknown in any other business or profession, and answer in his own proper person for the wrongful acts of others. But the law which imposed such grave responsibilities afforded some slight protection. The subject-matter of the publication was to be inquired into within a reasonable period. It was felt that a certain limitation was peculiarly necessary in actions for libel. The truth of the publication would prove a valid defence in a civil action, but the defendant was bound to produce the most satisfac tory evidence thereof; and it would manifestly be unreasonable to call upon him to-do so, when many years bad elapsed, and that evidence could no longer be obtained. Accordingly we find the facilities afforded in any prosecu- tion or action for libel withdrawn after the termination of the second year. The copy of the news paper which must be delivered at the Stamp-office, and which is to be received as sufficient evidence of the publication, will only be produced if applied for within two years after the original publication (6 and 7 Wm. IV., c. 76, s. 13). The outside period within which such an action could be commenced was thus indicated, and indeed the person who patiently sub mitted to an injurious charge for such a period could not be actuated.by any very intense anxiety or acute feeling .with respect to his character. ~ Now in the present instance the article chiefly complained of was published in the month of Sep tember, 1830, no - less :Than . !ighteen years and nine months ago. Had it .:not". been for that article no suit could -have_ been instituted on the latter publications. How, then could such a dccument be given in evidence ? Under what pretext• could it be brought - undef the considera tion of the Court ? It was necessary to enable the Duke:of BRUNSWICK to maintain his action that there should be a new publication of that article. We find him, then, endeavouring to entrap the servants of the de fendant into the commission of the very act of which he complained, and for which he sought and obtained no less than 5001. (1 !1) damages in a British court of Ile sent his agent to the office of the Yfreera Dispatch, to apply for a copy of the paper of the September, 1830. It was not at first forthcoming. At m„ urgent request of the mes senger a strict search was tee, th e s h e l ves o f the office were ransacked, and on a ~,I,.q uent day the missing copy was produced, and handed This, be it remembered, is the statement of the Dukes own witness, of the gentleman who so readily undertook the honourable duty imposed upon him, and this it was which, according to the Lord Chief Justice, constituted a republication, and such an ex traordinary circulation as in the eyes of the jury re quired the infliction of a penalty of 500/., together with the heavy cost of an action, upon a gentleman who personally knew nothing of that republication. Now, supposing that these facts were strictly and literally true in every particular, we contend, with all due deference to Lord DENMAN, that the delivery to Captain REINHOLD did not constitute a suffi cient publication to render the defendant legally responsible. Qui facit per alium, facit per se, is a legal axiom that has never been con troverted or impugned ; the act of Captain REIN HOLD, was, to all intents and purposes, the act of the Duke of BRUNSWICK, his employer. If any republi cation took place, it was at the special instance and request of, and to all intents and purposes, to the Duke himself. Can a man then recover damages for an act committed at his own solicitation ? Can he complain of a publication to his own agent and at his own request ? We should think not. It is distinctly established that a publi cation to the plaintiff himself is not such a publicktion as to maintain an action; and here it is not only to the plaintiff himself, but on his urgent application. On this ground alone we entertain no doubt that the verdict will be set aside, and a new trial granted when the case is more maturely considered by Lord DENMAN himself, aided and as• sisted by his judicial brethren. _ _ But there is a stronger reason for setting aside that very extraordinary verdict than any founded on merely legal technicalities, or the improper admission or rejection of evidence, or on the erroneous ruling of a judge. The very existence of a free ,press is involved in the result. On the issue will depend whether a public journalist is to be permitted to comment unrestrictedly on the public acts of public men, or whether he is to be for ever gagged and si lenced from what has heretofore been considered a perfectly legitimate topic. We have it on the high authority of Baron PARKE that " a writing may be a libel on a private person which would not be so on a person in a public character or office; for the acts of public men, which concern the subject, may be lawfully commented on without malice," (Parmiter v. Coupland, 6 Meeson and Welsby, 105); and, indeed, unless such were the law, not a single paper could safely appear. Were it otherwise the de struction of public journalism would be accomplished, the liberty of the press would be for ever annihilated. Can it then for a moment be asserted that the articles complained of were of a private or personal character? They related wholly to those acts which led to the substitution of another Sovereign on the Grand Ducal throne of Brunswick, which led to the conflagration of his quondam palace and his own rapid flight to the hospitable shores of merry England, which ever afford a place of refuge to all who seek it in misery and distress. The Duke himself repeatedly published addresses to his sub jects those which appeared on the first day of every year as advertisements in the columns of a leading morning Contemporary cannot be for gotten, and it was the duty of every champion of liberty (and the Weekly Dispatch has well and nobly vindicated its claim .to the title) to show that the invader of the rights and privileges of (his subjects was justly hisSed from the throne he was unworthy to occupy. It could not be the private acts of such a person that were dealt with. In private life he might be—although we do not offer an opinion on the point—a most amiable and deserving person, but his public acts were those alone that could influence " his out raged and indignant subjects." The Duke of BRUNSWICK has, unfortunately for himself, been brought prominently before the public on many oc casions, and he has attained considerable notoriety from the numerous actions in which he has appeared as plaintiff, and the very heavy damages given by the juries. Whether the large amounts so recovered may have had any influence in inducing him to institute the present proceedings, or whether the sympathy that might have existed for private attacks, led to a verdict so totally unprece dented as that to which we are now referring, mr e cannot of course say ; but of this we can as sure the ex-Duke, that neither his credit nor his position in society will be promoted by such a proceeding as that in which he has just figured cs plaintiff in the Court of Queen's Bench against the respected Proprietor of the Weekly Dispatch. The conduct of Lord PALMERSTON in relation to the French expedition to Rome exhibits either a ver dancy which, in a diplomatist so accomplished and so experienced, is utterly incomprehensible, or a careless ness which, in one occupying his responsible situa. tion, is disgraceful. It appears that when the expedition was first proposed the French Minister in this country was directed to read to Lord PALMER.. STON the dispatch of the French Government to the Austrian and to the Neapolitan Courts, announcing the sailing of an expedition of 6,000 men to Civita Vecchia, and setting forth the so-called reasons which had induced the French Government to dispatch this expedition, and to leave a copy of these dispatches with his Lordship. It is abundantly clear that Lord PALMERSTON never ex pressed his approval of this expedition, as was more than insinuated by the PRESIDENT of the French Re public in that most mendacious Message which he addressed to the French Legislative Assembly, but it is also abundantly evident, from the statements of r the Marquis of LA - rfa - nowros In the 'Home of Peers, not only that Lord PALMERSTON interposed no obstacles to the departure of the expedition — and herein we think Lord PALMERSTON was wrong—but that he has permitted that which was originally represented to be a frie'ndly expedition ( ' of 6,000 men, dispatched for the purpose of assisting the Romans in freeing themselves from the yoke of a handful of adventurers, to be turned:into an army of 30,000 men, provided with artillery, battering trains, and all the munitions of war, and destined, not for the liberation, but for the destruction of the Romans and of Rome, without protest, without re monstrance, without even asking for an ex planation. Such, according to our present in formation, appears to be the state of the case ; for Lord PALMERSTON'S sake we hope that it is merely its apparent, and not its real state. We trust that when the proper time comes he will be enabled to show that he resorted to every measure in his power to prevent the commission of this flagrant in justice on the part of France, and that to him is not attributable the disgrace of having permitted the French Government to proceed thus far without advice and without remonstrance. But be the conduct of Lord PALMERSTON what it may, it cannot diminish by one jot or tittle the overwhelmning weight of infamy which rests upon the PRESIDENT of the French Re public and his Ministers, and beneath which they must eventually be crushed. Having discovered that the gates of Rome ware not opened for the reception of his troops, having discovered that the Government of Rome was the free choice of the free people, why did not the PRESIDENT of the French Republic, the emanation of universal suffrage, respect the Trium virate and the Assembly of Rome, equally the ema nations of universal suffrage, and withdraw his army ? Oh ! was the reply of the French Minister from the Tribune, the honour of France, is now implicated, and that honour can only be satis fied by the entrance of the French troops into Rome. By the same argument Rusu might have justified the Stanfield. Hall murders ; by the same argument every, the most iltrocious, crime might be justified. The honour of France! the honour of a burglar, for that is the position which France has occupied in relation to Rome since the 29th April last. France has declared herself a Republic—she has gained her freedom, and her first political act after having gained her freedom is to crush her sister republic, to enslave those who have only followed her example, and to hand them over to the pitiless persecution of a sacer dotal despotism, as cruel and relentless as it is mean, cowardly, and impotent. It is disgraceful to the French nation to have so long permitted their Ministry to perpetrate this atrocious act of liberticide ; and should the crime be consummated by the conquest of Rome, then will the retribution—the long and bitter retribution—on the perpetrators of these enormities commence; then will the just hand of Heaven " commend th' ingredients of the poison'd chalice To their own lips;" then will the unoffending people of Rome be re venge& on their oppressors, whose very success will be their lier nee ,. Once possessed of Rome what will they do with itT- fey cannot retain it without 13 1- .. it up. War, war, war ; they dare not therefore, must be the imitable result of this mischievous interference with the peace and liberty of the Romans, and when the advancin g Rus sians shall make use of the same arguments for invad ing France and bombarding Paris, as the French Government has propounded for invading the ,Roman territory and bombarding the Eternal City, the PRESIDENT of the Republic, too late awakened to the dangers which his folly has occasioned, will endeavour to seek safety in flight; M. ODILON BARROT will curse his own stupidity, which will have ruined his country; while M. DE FALLOUX, surrounded by a cortege of priests, chuckling at the success of his intrigues, and pre paring a magnificent reception for the " allied Sovereigns" of the new Holy Alliance, will exclaim, as did his prototype TRESTAILLON— Vivent nos (marls les Ennemis. MANSION. HOUSE.—The Lord Mayor 134 issued cards of invitation for a grand banquet, on Saturday next, to be given to the President and Council of the Royal Society, the President and members of the Royal Academy, and to many of the literary and scientific men of the day. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The Moniteur publishes two dispatches from Gene ral OUDINOT ; the first details the operations od the siege from the 19th to the 21st ; the second gives the details of the assault made on the night of the 21st. It is as follows : " Head-quarters, June 22 . " Monsieur le Ministre,—On the 21st, at three o'clocl in the afternoon, General Vaillant and General Thir). commanding the engineers and artillery of the expedi tionary corps, informed me that the three breaches math in the two internal faces of bastions 6 and 7, and in tb( curtain which unites them, would be practicable the saint evening. I immediately gave the necessary instruction, for the assault. At half-past nine o'clock in the evening a company of grenadiers and a company of the light com panies of the 32d, 36th, and 53d of the line, formed thre' columns of attack under the orders of chefs de b itailloi de Cappe, Dantin, and de Sainte Marie. In addition, e reserve, composed of two flank companies of the 221' Light Infantry, 66th and 68th of the line, commanded b) chef de bataiflun de Tuurville, was assembled behind the breaching batteries, under the superior command of Lieutenant Colonel Tarbouviech, of the 36th Regiment of the Line. About thirty sappers of the Engineer corps were attached to each of the assaulting columns. Three hundred workmen, taken from the flank companies of the 16th and 25th Light Infantry, were assembled a: the same time in the trenches behind the batteries. These troops were supported by two battalions of the guard of the trenches. All the other corps of the divi sion Rostolan had left their bivouac, and were collected on the Monte Verde. The regiments under the orderr of General Regnaud were under arms in the Villas Pam fili and Corsini. _ "The dispositions being thus taken, the batteries, at ten o'clock, made a last discharge of grape-shot, and Colonel Niel, chief of the staff of the Engineers, sent forward the three assaulting columns. Th e y ascen d e d with great intrepidity the talus of the breaches which had been assigned to them. Our troop s were rece i ve d by a general fire, to which they did not respond ; but they speedily cleared the ground in front by a vigorous charge with the bayonet. Their impetuosity was such that they soon found themselves on the line of retreat of the enemy, and fifty prisoners, among whom were a lieutenant-colonel, a captain, and a lieutenant fell into our power. Our soldiers at the same time possessed themselves of several waggons laden with powder, and even of some horites. The wm . kmen, conducted by en gineer officers, aetended in thiir turn, each carrying a gabion,; a , spade,y and a eicaxe. They closed by an epaulement the gdrge of the, bastions with as much ac tivity as intelligence. The Roman troops vainly at tempted to retake their positions; they vainly attempted to re-enter the works which had long been prepared, and on which they had founded great hopes. The assault. ing columns, reinforced by the reserve, did not shrink for an instant. Our soldiers were placed in ambuscade, and caused considerable loss to the enemy, whilst we sus tained almost none. From two o'clock in the morning we were covered, and up to that time we had only to re. gret 12 wounded or killed, among whom were two officers. It was at this moment, Monsieur le Ministre, that I addressed to you a telegraphic dispatch. At three o'clock the enemy opened the fire of three bat teries, placed on Monte Orio and the northern part of the Monte Janicolo. The most violent cannonade broke out at daybreak, and continued to nearly nine o'clock. Our new batteries are not yet constructed, and our artillery cannot counter-batter the enemy's pieces. but our troops are sheltered from the fire by the nature of the ground, and, notwithstanding an enormous quantity of bullets, grape-shot, and shells, our lease,. have scarcely been doubled. In order to increase our chance of success, by dividing the forces which might be opposed to us, I had ordered two diversions, the one to the north of the city by the Ponte Mol:e and towards the Borghese, and the second to the south, towards the Gate of St. Paul. The first of these was made by a column under the orders of General Guesweller, which was com posed of a section of Chasseurs a Pied, of three batta lions, fifty Light Dragoons, and four ph ces of artillery, went to the counter-torts on the left bank of the Upper Tiber, and drove into the city the different posts which the enemy had therein. The column was directed suffi ciently near to Porta del Popolo to cause it to be beli.tved that the General intended to penetrate into the town. Some prisoners were brought back by it. The second column charged to effect a diversion cn the left bank of the Lower Tiber was composed of a battalion of the 22d Light Infantry, two squadrons of eavelry, and four cons pauies of artillery, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Espinasse, of the 22d. In order to conceal the numerical weakness of this column, the Lieutenant- Colonel did not march until night; but, in order to attract the attention of the enemy to this point, two 30-pounders belonging to the squadron had been placed on an emi nence in front of the Church of St. Paul. They were under the orders of Lieutenant Olivieri, commanding the flotilla of the Tiber, and were of very material as sistance. The field of artillery attached to the column very much annoyed the enemy by thing shells and bails against the ramparts; when the battalion of the 22d ad vanced with its scaling ladders to make a feint of scaling, it was received with a very sharp fire of musketry. None of the party were wounded, as they were sheltered by the undulating nature of the ground, which had been examined beforehand. The two de monstrations consequently obtained the object which was proposed. At this moment the artillery is labour ing -very actively to Do3 . ,lstruct batteries on the crown work of the breaches. It will be able, from these posi tions, not only to counter4batter and extinguish the fire of the enemy, but also to bompletely menace the place. " The ensemble of all t ese operations, Monsieur le Ministre, has keen very orious for our arms. I shalt shortly have thethenour e forward you the dames Of those officers, sdh-officers and soldiers, who, in these various combats, have pa icularly distinguished them selves, and who merit all e solicitude of the Govern ment. You will learn wh pleasure that, notwithstand• ing the great heat, the hdalth of the troops is very sa tisfactory, which maybe mainly attributed to the energy of their morale.-1 &131, & c . (Signed) " OUDINOT DE REGGIO." In the Legislative Assembly on Thursday the plan recently adopted by the Ministry of thinning the benches of the Opposition by bringing wholesale prosecutions against their oc c up an t s was s till further carried out. Permission was asked to prosecute seven representatives accused of being implicated in the affair of the 13th of June—Messrs. Brume, Rou gat, Beyer, Kopp, Hauffer, Ausl e tt, and Lourion. There is a requisition against five oth e r s f o r belong ing to a secret society, of which the papers were seized some time ago, called La Solidarite Republi caine ; the names of these members are Martin, Ber nard, Gambon, Demontry, and Brives. M. PFLIEGER is to be prosecuted for violence offered to a magis trate and officer on duty at Colmar. There is a second prosecution against M. GAMBON for spreading false news for electioneering purposes. How comes it, asks the National, if spreading false prosecutedpurposes of these requisitions was r nL e eE c Tw e ° i si 15 v 1 forFd electioneeringnu with nc(i!u Enn el shouts ennott of indignation by the Opposition, who were proceeding in a body to quit the Assembly, when the Members of the Ministerial majority commenced a series of insults. They were, however, soon reduced to silence by General LAYADLT, who, turning round to them, exclaimed, " You decimate one portion of the Assembly, you throw thirty of its members into prison, and you are surprised that we should exhibit indignation and emotion." In these proceedings M. ODILON BARROT has not even the poor merit of origi nality; he is a mere servile copyist of General NARVAEZ. As for the proof against these unfortunate gentlemen, those who know anything of the working of the continental police system will at once understand how easy it is to procure any proofs that may be re quired. "Those who hide can find" is a proverb the full force of which is well understood by the myrmi dons of the French police. The further these pro ceedings are carried the more firmly are we con vinced that the 13th June was merely a successful 29th January. We do not deny the existence of a conspiracy, but the conspirators all belong to the successful party. The Republican list of candidates for Paris has been published. Amongst :the:candidates are Col. Guinard, Messsrs. Goudchaux Marie, Perree de Ge rardin, Ducoux, Buvignier, Ribeyrolles, of the Reforme, and ex-Count d'Alton Shee. M. DALICAN, the editor of the Revolution D'imo cratique et Sociale, and M. JULES GOUACHE, the editor of the Reforme, were arrested in Paris on Thursday, on a charge of having been engaged in the conspiracy of June 13. The following are the leading items in the Bank of France return for the last week : ASSETS.

The account cur rent of the Treasury has decreased upwards of tli millions, and the general acc oun t s current four mil lions. The bullion in the Bank nearly amounts to the value of notes in circulation. Before the public sitting the representatives pro ceeded to the monthly organization of their bureaux. The following are the names of the Presidents named : Pisoatory, Cavaignac, Lepelletier d'Aulnay, de Remusat, de Broglie, Berger, Grandin, Bishop Parisio, de Crouseilhes, Abatucci, Baroche, Ravery, General Baraguay d'Hilliers, General Bedeau, and M.

The Cologne Gazette contains a letter dated Carls' ruhe, June 25, which states that the army of liberty ,ind the Provisional Government set out that morning for Rastadt, where they intended to try once more the fate of arms under cover of the fortress. They entirely emptied the arsenal of CaHs ruhe and carried off all the apparatus belonging to the railway, in order to impede the Prussians in their pursuit of them. At half-past two the vanguard of the Prussians entered the town, soon followed by other troops, with the Prince of PRUSSIA at their head, who was received with loud acclamations from the citizens. It was rumoured in Paris that the Baden army had been completely routed and dispersed, and that MIEROSLAWSKY was a prisoner in the hands of the Prussians. PRUSSIA. On the afternoon of the 25th another conference took place at the hotel of the English Ambassador at Berlin, between M. DE REEDTZ and M. DE SCALE MITE, relative to a personal union and to the inde pendence of Schleswig. The result of the conference is not known. AUSTRIA, HUN GARY, and POLAND. The Emperor of RUSSIA arrived at Warsaw on the 27th, and, at his instigation, the Austrians at Cracow, seized the son of DEMBINSKI, and have detained him as a hostage for his father. We take note of this fact, because, in the event of the Hungarians making re prisals, it is as well to have an accurate record of the first aggressive act of the first ag gressor. If what has hitherto been a sys tem of comparatively speaking honourable war fare should henceforth degenerate into a system of murder and assassination, the responsibility will rest with the Emperor of RUSSIA, and should any of his sons be on any occasion seized by Poles, Hun garians, or Republicans, and kept as a hostage for his conduct, he will only have himself to thank for it. Warned by the experience of last year, the people should henceforth mete to the absolutist So vereigns with their own measure. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES The Danish Minister of War has officially an nounced the occupation of Aarhuus by the German troops on the 21st, and their advance northwards towards Spoerring. The steamer Hertha and some gun-boats fired at the German troops on their advance to the north of Aarhuus, on which the Germans sent a flag of truce to declare that if the firing from the vessels did not cease, they would destroy the town. The gun-boats then abstained from further cannonading, and, the ac count adds, so long as the Germans do not advance further northwards in that part, the vessels will not molest the troops. _ . From Aalborg, of the 231, they state that in the direction of Randers, which lies more to the west ward, the German forces had advanced as far north as Oersum and Hadberg. General PUITTWITTZS head-quarters were advanced to Skanderborg. In the duchies and at Schleswig there is much dis satisfaction expressed by the leader of the anti- Danish party, because the stadtholders have not been consulted or informed about the negotiations which it is allowed by all are still being carried on in Ber lin ; and M. HARBOU declared, in answer to inter pellations in the Assembly of the Schleswig States, on Saturday last, that the Government had not been able to obtain any participation in the negotiations in Berlin, or any official communication respecting their purport or nature. - At the encampment before Fredirica a truce of arms has been commanded, and, indeed, came into force de facto. The firing has now ceased on both sides, and in all probability will not be recommenced by the German troops, who have received orders not to act on the oft'ensive, but merely to return the Danish fire. The latter show no intention to begin fire, but appear to be extremely active in repairing their fortifications and trenches. Many are of opinion that the present cessation of arms will ter minate in a protracted armistice. It was stated at Copenhagen on the 22d, that Russia has proposed the partition of Schleswig into two portions ; the whole duchy to the north of thq Schlic to be incorporated into Denmark, while th smaller southern division shall be combined wit Holstein. Denmark, it is said, refuses to accept this conditio The Danes have taken possession of the city Varde. SWITZERLAND. BALE, JUNE 27.—0 n the 24th Count RASROVICH, envoy of Austria, announced his mission to the President of the Confederation, and on the 25th Count LUDOLF, ambassador from the Court of Naples, presented his credentials. The Hungarian envoy saluted in a friendly manner the PRESIDENT, taking him by the hand and saying—" Good morning, Mr. PRESIDENT. I bring you the felicitations of KOSSUTH, together with a letter from him." ITALY. Accounts from Rome state that the Princess BEL• (now visited General OUDINOT in his camp for the purpose of endeavouring to bring about an accommo dation between him and the Roman Republic. Her visit, however, was without result. The negotiations between Austria and Piedmont have been again broken off in consequence of some thing very much like a breach of faith on the part of Austria. It will be remembered that it was on the application of Austria herself that the conferences were renewed, and that Austria offered as the basis of such renewal to lower her demand for indemnity to 75 millions of francs, and to evacuate Allessandria. In consequence MM. LA BORMIDA and BONCOM PAGNI left Turin for Milan on the 18th. In their first interview with M. DE BRUCK, the Austrian Plenipotentiary, that gentleman demanded an in demnity of a much larger amount than the seventy five millions previously agreed upon, and laid down, besides other conditions, which appeared incompatible with the interests and the honour of the Sardinian Government, while, to their surprise, he refused to enter into engagements in the name of his Govern ment for the proclamation of a complete amnesty. Under these circumstances the Piedmontese Envoys refused to admit the demands of Austria, and the negotiations are broken off. SIR C. NAPIER. AND TUB 96TH.—The Calcutta Star says, "Her Majesty's 96th were reviewed at Fort Wil liam by the new Conanaanier-in Chief at daylight on the morning of the 11th of May. So quietly had the ar rangements been made that scarcJy half a dozen spec tators besides military men were present. Sir Charles Napier, punctual to a proverb, reached the parade, ac companied by the town-major, before a single officer of the regiment had made his appearance, and finding no other amusement, walked into the barracks. He soon returned, however, and subjected the regimens to a minute inspection, after which it marched past in slow, and again in quick time, and then advanced in line. At the close Sir Charles Napier addressed the men in a characteristic speech. After alluding to his former connexion with the regiment, he said:— . I am very glad to meet the 96th again. We have both been a good deal about the world since we were last together, and I am very glad to bear such a good account of the regiment. Your colonel tells me that you are not only in good health, but that you are good in conduct—that you have very few men in hospital. Now, this is all right, and I hope you will continue to bear a good character. But let me give you a bit of ad vice—that is, don't drink. I know young men do not think m uch about advice from old men. They put their tongue in their cheek, and think they know a good deal better than the old cove that is giving them advice. But let me tell you that you are come to a country where, if you drink, you're dead men. If you be sober and steady you'll get on well; but if you drink you're done for. You will be either invalided or die. I knew two regiments in this country—one drank, the other didn't drink. The one that didn't drink is one of the finest regiments, and has got on as well as any regiment in existence. The ono that did drink has been all but destroyed. Fur any regiment for which I have a respect (and th,-re is not one of the British regiments whom I don't respect) I should always try and persuade them to keep from drinking. I know there aro some men who will drink in spite of the Devil and their officers; but such men will soon be in hospital, and very few that go in in this country ever come out again. I wish the 96th Regiment every success, and am very glad to see it in the state it is.' After expressing to Major Cumberlege his great gratification, he called the Sergeant- major of the regiment, with whom he had a few minutes' confi dential chat. He then dismissed the regiment, and pro ceeded to an inspection of the arsenal." It is rumoured that the wife of one of the leading statesmen of the Peel party—one who was a member of Sir Robert Peel's Cabinet—has just become a convert to the 'lowish faith. She is the daughter of a Seotti.h nobleman; and the conversion is more remarkable as having arisen. not from Anglicanism, hut from Presby terianism.— Western Luminary.—[Lady Lincoln, the daughter of the Duke of Hamilton, is, it is understood, alluded to.—Leeds Mercury.] COWES, JUNE 29.—A dismasted brig was seen 29th instant in lat, 44 lon. 44, by the William Carey, Jcibb, arrived here. I , IOiNoIL Y and Ci.),YI;iERCIAL ‘l' CITY, QUARIEi? TO 'MLLE. The sales'. of Cotton at Livetp;ol yesterday were 6,000 to 7,000 bales. The market was quiet, but sa , ady in prices. —In P,dl viiy Scares there was but little Lusi ness done. The market closed firm. The amount of bullion in the ceSfers of the Balk of Englund now exceed fifteen million, steeling, and we inzy judge of the superabundance (.f money in other quarters by the fact that, ahhough there is usually more demand for temporary accommodation towards the close of the quarter, and at the period immediately preceding the dividend payments, there has, for the last week or two, been a p,,s - etiva reduction of advances upon other securities, and an increas d investment in Government Sr curities. The diminution of circulation we ascribe chiefly to the accumulation of public deposits.

Active Circulation a,crease There was a moderate business done yesterday after noon in the Foreign Exchanges, and the rates were not materially different for bills on the principal cities to those paid last post. day. There are no late ship arrivals to-day from distant parts. The Ilamburgh and other mails bring favourable re ports still of the stock markets. The exchange at Ham burgh on London last Tuesday was 13-94. Bills were in rvquest. The movement of troops, &c., in Schleswig still continued. The export of bullion from London during the week to Thursday last was as follows :—Gold coin, 500 ounces to Hamburgh; silver, 54,000 ounces to Holland, 78,100 ounces to Belgium, and 100,000 to France. Tliie accounts received to-day from the manufacturing districts appear to be again satisfactory. At Manchester the manufacturers and spinners were very firm, and very full prices were realised for cloth. At Rochdale there was some improvement in the demand for flannels, and at Leeds the chief business doing was to order. The Nottingham and Derbyshire loose hands were still hold ing out. The Mining Share Market has been dull this week, both for home and foreign undertakings.

General second Ouditiot represents his loses to be small; but the reinforcements continually teat to him, and the fresh surgeons going from France, tell a different tale. There h ave been several sever e skirmishes both on the side of the Janicular and of the Polito illolle, in all of which the French have Lad !he advantage, though probably with considerabl e l os!.

THE FILE IN CH AT ROME. (From the Gloucester Journal.) Tho French arc busy consummating their work of blindness, baseness, and treachery, in the ancient capital of the world. They embarked on their ill-starred expo ' dition to Rome with falsehood on their lips and fraud in their hearts—deception marked the commencement of their interfereuce with the Romish question—dishonour and disgrace accompanied their progress—and would we could add that merited defeat has been the result of their double dealing policy. To the Pope they offered them selves as champions—to the Austrians, Neapolitans, and Spaniards, they presented themselves as the allies of despotism—and to the republicans of Rome they affected to hold out the hand of fellowship as brother republicans, anxious only to maintain the liberties of the Roman people. The Rom ins suspected the motives which had prompted the unasked-fur sending of 20,000 armed men —they intimated that they would prefer to win aed to wear their own freedom without foreign in terfereece—and they shut their gates against an expeciition which wore so questionable a shape. It was then that the mask was thrown uiT. The French wanted to steal a march upon Austria, Naples, and Spain, to be the sole medium of .restoring the Pope, and to arregate an xelteiive influence in toe future policy of the Vatican. With this Machiavellian idea in their heads, they cared little for the loss of honour which deception and double dealing entail. The trute, however, was too flimsy and trausperent to preserve for the required length of time the necessary amount of belief ; and being toiled in the treacherous attempt to win a guileful access into Rome tts friends, they at once determined to inflict upon the devoted city all the horrors of war, and to force an en trance at the cannon's mouth. Atter three weeks of bombardment and detailed assault, they have succeeded in storming a breach, end at the date of the last accounts they had effected a lodge-tent for a part of their forces within the walls. To effect this, countless numbers of private houses, with villas, handsome theatrese churches, and other public euifices, have been laid in ruins, and an amount tit demoniacal injury has been inflicted upon the city which a life of a generation will probably not remedy. This is the case if no more mis chief is inflicted than is already known; but from the spirit which appears to have animated the defenders of Rome, and which does not seem to have at all abated when the last intelligence was dispatched, it is possible that the conflict was carried on with more deadly ani mosity e ithin the walls than outstde of them, and that. besiegers and besieged have been striving after mutual: annihilation almost as much as utter victory. War at best is most deplorable, and always wicked on one side or the other, or both; but in this case of wanton and uncalled for butchery and destruction the crime is dis graceful to the natiehal character of France, repulsive to the commonest feelings of humanity, an outrage up honour, t h h oannodu justice,r, saty stigma, ad u m p a o r n i ly t h c e o l uf r Ee s.,i , en a t v o i o f l aFtiroaini France and his advisers, autt an eternal blot upon the fame of the ruffiauly General to whom has been entrusted the disreputable command of this ill-starred and most politic expedition. 14 /2 12% 7 1 4 10 31 /s 31 214 31/S
