And while accomplishing all this it has emerged from the ordeal of this extraordinary and perilous epoch undi minished 'in dignity and unsullied in reputation. Not one finger can be raised to point out a single crime in the annals of the Na tional Assembly. It nobly fulfilled the aspirations so nobly evidenced during the glorious days of February. Recognising the sanctity of that cause, which had with an abrupt explosion vindicated the wrongs of more than thirty-five millions of the human race, knowing, as it did so well, the justice of that popular decree which had shaken to the winds the pomp of the Orleans dynasty, and had driven forth its chief- tain as a vagabond and an outcast from the country whose glory he had outraged—the National As sembly verified the decree which had been pronounced from the faqade of the Hotel de Ville by the voice of LAMARTINE, it consecrated to the homage of the population those institutions which had been pre figured in the orations of the poet-statesman, it solemnly proclaimed the triumph of those democratic principles which he and his colleagues had first had the courage to legalise in the preliminary acts of the Provisional Government. Born itself from the urn of the Ballot, and from Universal Suffrage, the Na tional Assembly confirmed the system adventured upon by the glorious statesmen of February. It did more, it confirmed most of those august edicts which ha 3 almost all emanated from the pure and patriotic heart of LAMARTIIE, and had been enforced by the approbation of his coadjutors. Among those beautiful decrees will remain for ever conspicuous before the admiration of posterity the sublime decree which declared the abolition of the punishment of death for political offences. Having proceeded thus far, having announced by acclamation that the Provisional Government had deserved well of the country, having either con firmed or rescinded the different acts of that Cabinet of Emergency, the National Assembly, it will be remembered, encountered a succession of those appalling and almost irresistible assaults which twice threatened to accomplish its annihilation. During those probationary struggles, it will never be forgotten with how much serene bravery the diabolical efforts of the anarchists were encountered. It cannot yet be lost to recollection, how BUCHEZ, in - .he chair of Presidency, emulated the valour of ISNARD. And BUCHEZ was worthily succeeded by SENARD, by MARIE, and by ARMAND MARRAST, nine times the elected President of the Parliament. Surprised into an apparent abdication at the close of the month in which the Assembly was inaugurated, the representatives in June crossed swords in defence of Order with the insurgent rabble of Terrorists, and some died gloriously at the foot of the barricades, fighting with body, and soul, and strength against vvretcbes worthy only of the terrible definition of the Annalist—men who are literally "heathens in the midst of Christianity, and savages in the midst of Civilization".* As was very admirably said of the National Assembly by M. MARRAST, in his farewell address on Saturday—the policy of that Assembly has been consistent throughout, from ;he opening chapter of its career to its conclusion. The embodiment of sincere and moderate Repub licanism, it has ever opposed those who endeavoured to drive things to extremes. In the first instance it lid battle right bravely with the anarchists of Social ism, with the men who lived upon the pestilential doctrines of LEROUX, men who did not blush to listen to the hideous and bestial blasphemies of PROUDHON. In the last instance it has found devolving upon it the equally difficult duty of repel. ling the anarchists of reaction, men who dream of restoring to vitality what is already so far decom posed as to stink in the nostrils of the people, men who are eager for the alternative of betraying Li berty like DELILA, or of crushing it like APPIUS. Against both of these antagonistic bands—those hungering for anarchy as the road to pillage, and those eager for it as the means of obtaining power— the National Assembly, turn by turn, has had to wage an almost uninterrupted warfare. Yet in spite of this continual distraction of its attention and perpetual occupation of its energies, the Assembly has deliberately germinated, developed, and ripened 1 -the most lasting of all the fruits of its patriotism. It has created, and consecrated, and pronlaimed a Republican Constitution. This is its chief claim upon the gratitude of the country, and it is a claim which will go far to mitigate the severity with which all things in retrospect are judged by the historian . While we speak thus in the language of farewell of the departed Parliament, we cannot but declare that France has disgraced herself by her ungrateful treat ment of some of its most brilliant ornaments, and of some of her own most noble and most illustrious benefactors. When we hear that ARMAND MAMBAS; for nine months the President of the National Assembly, has no :seat in the Legislative Chamber, when we know also that that Senate-house is closed in like manner against DUPONT, the venerable patriarch of French Repub- licanism, against GARNIER. PAGES, one of the first and ablest of the administrators of the Democratic Government, against BITCHEZ, against SENARD, against MARIE, against PAGNERRE, against GOUD GLUEY, against BETHMONT, and against CARNOT—we regard the fickleness of public enthusiasm with a pity magnified in proportion to our astonishment. But when we find that among the personages subjected to this electoral ostracism appears the name of M. DE LAMAR TINE-a name renowned over the whole world as the name of one whose genius is only surpassed by the purity of his reputation, whose courage is only ex ceeded by the vigour of his patriotism, and whose eloquence is only eclipsed by the magnanimity of his proceedings—our pity merges into contempt, our amazement gives place to indignation. LAMAR TINE conferred the blessings of the Ballot and of Universal Suffrage upon France, it was, at his suggestion that the punishment of death for political offences was abolished, he it was who, at the peril of his life, saved France—and not only France, but Europe—from the horrors of a de luge of ;human blood, by repulsing the red flag of terrorism with a sublime inspiration of oratory and this is the reward of his glorious deeds, of his burning words, of his courage in the streets, of his toil in the Cabinet, of his efforts in the tribune, of his patriotism everywhere ! The event affords but a sinister augury for the career and fortunes of the Legislative Assembly. The first public meeting of the Metropolitan Fi nancial and Parliamentary Reform Association, which took place on Tuesday, affords the most cheering auguries of the probable results of the labours of the association. The movement has been responded to in the most enthusiastic manner by the great body of the people ; and the leaders, under whose auspices they have already attained so many political triumphs , have buckled on their armour for the conflict, an d are prepared to enter upon a course of vigorous, extensive , an d constitutional agitation. The nation is now fully aware of the manner in which such victories m ay be achieved. The proceedings of the Anti- Corn-law League afforded many valuable lessons that will not be forgotten in the approaching contest. Truth and justice, reason and argument, are the only weapons required, and these are easily available, and if properly made use of, must prove irresistible. The crying grievances, the unmerited wrongs under which the great body of the people have so long suffered, and are still suffering, must be brought prominently forward. The abuses which have sprung up during a long series of years must be traced to their very foundations. The injustice of the oppressive and unequal system of taxation under which the industry of the nation is paralyzed must be clearly and une quivocally exposed. It must be shown that the burden is placed upon those least able to sustain it, and who in common justice should not be made in any degree responsible:therefor. The interest of the public debt, contracted for the preservation of property, is chiefly paid by those who unfortunately have no pro perty to preserve, whose labour is their only capital and only inheritance. Our military and naval esta blishments are also maintained by the proceeds of indirect taxation. The hard working operative, the T HE LEGAL TITLE ASSURANCE COMPANY.

On Satur day, the 26th of May, 1849, the Constituent Na tional Assembly expired. Yesterday was the mo mentary interregnum between those two great senates of democracy. At a period when the last accounts of the National Assembly are still resounding in our remembrance, and before the tones of the first sylla bles articulated in the Legislative Assembly have reached our shores, we would take a farewell retro spect of the career of the departed Parlia ment. Since the day of its solemn ina ugura ti on , namely, the 4th of May, 1848, its labours have been almost unremitting. Within the twelve months which have elapsed between its birth and its disso lution it has achieved many great things, it has overcome many tremendous difficulties, it has weeded out many viilanous offshoots of the past misgovern ment, and has.drawn from the abysses of a Revolation 't A memorable expression first uttered by Mr. Ma caulay in 1847, during a debate in the House of Commons on the subject of education, and which we observe he has himself thought worthy of being embalmed in the rhetoric of his History. It will be found immediately before the close of the second yolume. overtoiled artizan, the half-starved sempstress, require but little protection. " Cantabit vacuus coram latrone viator." They can scarcely be worse off under any changes that might take place, than they are at present. Their toil would not be more severe or continuous—we had almost said incessant. The wages of their labour would not be more scanty, their food coarser, or their houses humbler. What, then, have they to fear ? and yet, under the present system, they are the gene ral paymasters. Their humble earnings are taxed to the amount of 40 or 50 per cent•, while the owners of accumulated and realised property contribute a much smaller proportion of their incomes to the national exigencies. There must be something radically de fective in the system of legislation under which such a state of affairs is sanctioned and tolerated. ' The council of the association ascribe these evils to the fact that the great body of the people are not fully or fairly represented in the popular branch of the Legislature, and they have accordingly deter mined not only to direct their labours to the removal of the existing grievances, but also, and in the first instance, to the removal of the causes by which these grievances have been occasioned. In their report they state that— " Deeply impressed with the conviction, that no effec tual or lasting relief from the present unequally imposed and heavy burden of taxation can, or will take place, until the tax-payers have a more direct influence in the election of those representatives who have to deal with the national resources, the council, after much anxious solicitude and careful deliberation. came to the conclusion that the agitation for Parlia mentary reform should precede that for financial amelio ration." Although there is much justice in this reasoning we cannot altogether approve of the decision, if it be thereby intended to relax in any degree their exer tions for the immediate removal of the evils they have so clearly exposed. The agitation for monetary, for fiscal, and for financial reforms may be carried on simultaneously with that for Parliamentary reform. Nothing can more powerfully stimulate the latter than a full exposition of the practical grievances under which the nation groans, and a temperate but firm demand for speedy redress. If judicious laws were wisely and discreetly administered, the great body of the community would care but little for any merely theoretical errors, and it would be impossible to organize a bold, de termined, and combined movement. But if, on the other hand, the practical abuses be flagrant and op pressive—if the people actually suffer under the effects of class legislation, and that it be clearly and satisfactorily shown that these abuses are only the natural results of a vicious constitution of the Legis lature, the demand for Parliamentary reform will become universal, and the desires of the nation can no longer be despised or neglected. It was the agita tion commenced at Liverpool by the Financial Reform Association of that town, and the admirable publica tions that from time to time emanated from that patriotic body, that aroused the people to a sense of their wrongs, and led to the present energetic move ment. Let not weapons that have already proved so efficacious be abandoned, or cast aside for a single moment. We would not, however, be misunderstood. Let it not be supposed that we would for a moment desire to weaken the efforts to be made for Parliamentary reforms, by dividing the power of the people. Far otherwise ; let the most vigorous and energetic exertions be made for the extension of civil rights, but let those exertions be accompanied by equally vigorous efforts for the removal of monetary, of fiscal, and of financial abuses. Although we regret to find that, among the many valuable legislative reforms insisted on by the associa tion, the abolition of the " property qualification" has been overlooked or dispensed with, we gladly recognise the importance of the changes ad vocated, and we admit that all real Reformers should endeavour to promote that unanimity and mutual co-operation that is so essential to success. Some may conceive that the association goes too far, others that it does not go far enough, but even the most zealous Reformer, the most thorough paced Radical, must acknowledge that the measures advocated would ; form a very_ large instalment of all that he could desire. Uni versal suffrage is not :sought for, but such an extension is desired as would more than qua druple the various constituencies, as would give the elective franchise to no less than from three to four millions of our fellow-subjects, now wholly un represented. The association does not even stop at household suffrage, the goal at which so many con sistent and honest Reformers desire to arrive. They go still further, and (in their own words) " Have decided on advocating such an extension ef the franchise as will give to every male occupier of a tenement, or any portion of a tenement, the right to be re• gistered as an elector; the only condition coupled with that right being, not the payment of rates, but the fact of being rated, or having claimed to be rated, for the relief of the poor, in respect of the qualifying pre mises." This is, indeed, an important step in the right direction, and when, in addition thereto, the " ballot" is advocated in all its integrity, when triennial Parliaments are demanded—those two great questions each of which have been now affirmed by legislative majorities, and when, moreover, an equalization of the electoral districts, so as more fairly to apportion the Members to the several constituencies is required, but little remains to be desired, and he would be an enemy to the good cause who would introduce dis• sension for the purpose of looking for more sweeping alterations. Some "may look to ulterior object& even beyond the principles of the association," but that is no reason why they should not co-operate zealously and effectually with the body so far as they are disposed to go. Let all honest Reformers under whatever denomination they may be classed, whether as Liberals, Radicals, or Chartists, join the associa tion, and subscribe to its funds, thus supplying the real sinews of war. Let them give "a long pull, a strong pull," and above all, "a pull all together," and they will speedily be enabled to congratulate themselves on great and decisive success; and, if they think other changes necessary, to prepare themselves for the further contest, on which they will enter with all the prestige of victory. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. The Constituent Assembly closed its labours on Saturday night. Having disposed of all the business before it, M. ARMAND MARRAST, the President, ad dressed the Assembly in a short speech, which con tained a history of their labours from the day of their assembling, on the sth May, 1848, to the day of their dissolution, 26th May, 1849, in the course of which he passed a warm and most merited eulogium on the Assembly for the services it had rendered to the cause of liberty, and for the firm and moderate conduct it had pursued under the critical circumstances in wnich the country was placed. It had, he said, at the commencement of its labours, been assailed by the unjust suspicions of one extreme party, th that had these es and at its termination by the equally unjust suspi cions of ano th er equa ll y v i o l en t par ty in the opposite extreme,t it between and e it throughoutt was wo extremes. the its career great Imerit t acted aoetfdi ng: the aat A u Assembly e m Moderator m n b e M. MARRAST has merel the future historian. C y anticipated the judgment of Cordially do we concur in the on eulogium of M. MARRAST d the Constituent As sembly, which has not on l y country, but of the whole hum an race.eserved_ well of its M. MARRAST concluded his speech by a cry of "Yive la. Republique !" which was loudly responded to, and amidst which cries the Constituent Assembly was declared by the President M. MARRAST to have terminated its labours. And here we must record a piece of petty and miserable spite on the part of a man who, from his position, ought to have known better. The instant the Presi dent had declared the Assembly dissolved, and even before he had time to quit his presidential chair, or the members had quitted their seats, General CHAN GARNIER, with the most insulting air, ordered the officer commanding the guard of the Assembly, who up to that moment had been under the orders of the President, to retire with his men. General CHAN GARNIER is, we presume, aware of the nature of the animal which kicks dea d lions. ; In the sitting of Friday the Assembly voted the order of the day as an amendment to the motion of M. LEDRU ROLLIN for inquiry into the alleged con spiracy by a majority of 48, the numbers being 308 to 260. On Saturday the motion of M. FLocosr for a general amnesty was lost by a majority of five only in a house of 567. An attempt was made by MM. CLEMENT THOMAS and DEGOUSSEE to induce the Assembly to sit on Sunday, which was unsuc cessful, and then the Assembly passed its last vote which was, " The National Assembly votes its thanks to the National Guard and the Army." The THE SUN, LONDON MONDAY EVENING, MAY 28, 1849. ceremony of the separation of the Assembly we have already described. M. DUFAURE, immediately after the breaking up of the Assembly, accompanied M. ODILON BARROT to the Elysee National. It was currently reported in Paris yesterday that the new Minstry would be composed of Marshal BUGEAUD, General BEDEAU, MM. ODILON BARROT, DUFAURE, DE REMUSAT (a partisan of M. TISIERS,) DE FALLOUX, BEN( IE, (a Legitimatist), PANSY, LACROSSE, and BUFFET. The Journal des Dibats denies a report current to the effect that M. LESSEPS had negotiated with the Roman Government, not only an armistice, but a treaty, which he had sent for ratification to Paris. It appears that M. FOEBIE JANSON has merely brought the heads of a pacific arrangement to be submitted to the consideration of the French Cabinet. The National mentions, as a report, that the French Government had disapproved the terms for an arrange- ment with the Roman Triumvirate proposed by M. LESSEPS, inasmuch as it would deprive the POPE of his temporal power. The preliminary meeting of the Legislative Assembly for the purpose of choosing the Provisional President, and secretaries, was to have been held yesterday. MM. RAVEZ and KERATRY are the two oldest mem bers, but they are both absent from Paris. General SUBERVIE, the third eldest, is unwell, so that it is probable that M. CORDIER will be the Provisional President as the doyen d' age of the members present. The six youngest members will be appointed secre taries. The Assembly was to be formally opened this day, by a Message from the PRESIDENT of the Republic. " Several journals," says th e Deb a t s , "h ave an nounced that Prince PONIATOWSKI, the Tuscan Minister to the French Republic, had sent in his resignation. This statement is entirely devoid of foundation." The Funds have varied but little.

GERMANY AND THE NORTHERN STATES• FRANKFORT. According to the Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort, the Prussian Cabinet has recommended the Archduke JOHN to make over his powers as Vicar of the Em pire to the King of PRUSSIA ; but, it says, the Arch duke has hitherto refused to do so. In addition to the body of troops to be assembled near Frankfort by the Central Government, another is to be collected near Stuttgardt, and to be placed under the orders of the King of WURTEMBERG• In the sitting of the German Parliament on the 24th, M. Scnuvrx asked the Ministry if it was true that Prussia intended to dissolve the Assembly, and to conclude a peace with Denmark without the assent of the Central Power ? The Minister postponed his reply till the first sitting after Whitsuntide. The Minister of War announced that the Vicar of the Empire had received a notification that a Provisional Government had been established in the Bavarian Palatinate, but that Government being contrary to the constitution no notice could be taken of the communication. The proposition that 100 Members should be sufficient to pass measures in the Assembly was adopted. The King of BAVARIA has refused to accept the office of Head of the Empire. AUSTRIA. AND HUNGARY. Intelligence has been received from Vienna to the 22d. Count STADION had tendered his resignation on the score of ill health ; the EMPEROR had refused to accept it, but had granted him unlimited leave of absence until his health should be reinstated. The Magyars have again utterly defeated the Im perial forces in the neighbourhood of Odenburgh, and in consequence WELDEI has inserted in the Pres burger Zeitung an order of the day forbidding the publication of any 11WW8 of the army, except in an official form. Great surprise is expressed in Vienna at the non-appearance of the Russians in Hungary, and persons are asking what can have become of them. Probably BEM and DEMBINSKI could furnish some information on this subject. It is said that the Emperor of AUSTRIA, the Em. peror of RUSSIA, and the King of PRUSSIA will hold conferences at lialisch. PRUSSIA. An insurrection has broken out in the district of the Moselle. Several arrests have taken place in Berlin. An army is collecting at Erfurt, in which city it is intended to convene the new German Parliament. The Cologne Gazette publishes the following let ter from Berlin of the 22d :—" Official intelligence has arrived here that the Russian fleet has sailed from Cronstadt to protect the integrity of Denmark, and, under that appearance, with hostile intentions towards Prussia. The official note on the matter is of great length, and declares positively that the occu pation of Jutland causes the question of Schleswig- Holstein to become an European one, and to be parti cularly interesting to Russia, It strongly blames the conduct of Prussia in the affair, and intimates that if the Prussian Cabinet shall not immediately evacuate Jutland, amicable relations between Prussia and Russia cannot be maintained. The Prussian Cabi net has sent off General RAucu to the Emperor of R u s s/A , to assure him that it only makes war against Denmark by order of the Central Government, and that it will employ its efforts to bring about peace. BAVARIA. A Provisional Government has been proclaimed at Spire in the Bavarian Palatinate on the 22d. In the evening it received a deputation from Alsace, which expressed the sympathies of the French people, and offered if necessary energetic assistance. It appears that it is not true that, as announced by a Frankfort journal, the Bavarian Chambers have been dissolved ; but the dissolution is considered in evitable. On the 21st the Chamber of Deputies adopted, by 72 votes to 62, an address containing a declaration of want o f confidence i n th e Mi n i stry, f or their recent declarations on the German question. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. SCHLEAWIG-HOLSTEIN, MAY 24.—The bombard ment of Fredericia is still carried on by the Germans with untiring energy, and the Danes seem disposed to carry out their menace of defending it to their last man. A division of the German troops, however, led on by Captain Know.; has succeeded in driving the Danes from , the blockhouse which they had erected close to the southern gate of Fredericia for the pur pose of covering their sallies. During the attack the Danes, both in the fortress and at the batteries of Funen, kept up a brisk fire on our troops. The Danes had several killed and ten taken prisoners, and as soon as they had evacuated the blockhouse it was fired by our troops. The Germans say that on their side they had not a single man killed and wounded. Immediately after the burning of the blockhouse, the Commander ordered 150 of the same battalion who had made the attack to pierce the dam in order to let out the water and leave the moat dry. This they effected under a murderous shower of balls from the batteries. The Dan es a ft erwar d s made a sally, in which eleven of th e i r j agers were t a k en p r i so ners. The Danes kept up an incessan t canno nade. Yesterday General Boras, attended by his staff , rode along our entrenc h men ts, when an unexpected shot from the Danes struck down the brave aid-de camp, blockade continues to be a great Capt a i n DELltrs. In him our country will lose one of it s mos t va l ua ble officers. It is true that ihe sat this momen t s till a live, but no hopes are en tertained of hi s recovery . The Danishimpe diment to tr a d e, an d t h e au thorities of Dantzic are prepari ng a petition to the King of PRUSSIA , for the 1 3e ecly conclusion of peace with Denmar k, as,in consequ ence o f th e stagnation of trade and com merce in th e h ar b ours o f th e Baltic, there has arisen a want of em to y m ent not only among the day labourer s , but among all the smaller masters who are p occupied in shipbuilding, &c. Panic and anarchy have attained an alarming height among the working classes. The Chamberlain REEDTZ has left Copenhagen for Berlin. He is charged with the mission of arranging the preliminari es w hi c h a re at length to serve as the basis of the treaty of peace to be concluded in London. The Hanover Zeitung says the Prussian Minister is said to have notified to the Regent of the Empire that he may b e free f rom a ll anx i e ty in regard to the Danish war, because Prussia will now undertake the sole conduct of it. We have received this intel ligence from a source which has hitherto always been worthy of credit. The Baltic Journal of the 22d says that the Eng lish wa r - steamer Hecate, C ap t a i n Oldh am, w i t h eight guns and 117 men, arrived at Swinemunde on the 22d. The object of their visit is to ascertain the actual state of the blockade in the Baltic. After taking in coals tho Hecate will go to Datzic. We have not seen any Danish cruizers ''or some days, but the Hecate saw a Danish frigate eabtwane.s this morning.—Hamburgh Papers, May 25. RUSSIA. A journal called Koezloeny, quoted by the Breslaw Gazette of the 21st, states that a conspiracy has been discovered at Moscow, the object of which was to overthrow the dynasty of the Itomanows, and replace it by that of the Demitrows. Three of the conspira tors, who had in their possession 300,000 roubles in paper, were arrested, and sixteen others took to flight. At St. Petersburgh six, and at Sharkoffseven arrests, were effected in connexion with the same affair. ITALY. The Opinione of Turin of the 22d, states on the faith of correspondence from Genoa, that GUERRAZZE, who had been sent to Leghorn a prisoner, has been claimed by the British Consul, and embarked on an English merchant vessel. The Piedmontese Gazette contains a royal decree, dated the 21st, in virtue of which the Duke of GENOA is provisionally invested with the royal power during the illness of the KING. It further publishes the sen tence of the Court of Cessation on the appeal of RA MORINO. The Court rejects the appeal, on the ground that military sentences are not subject to cessation in time of war, and that the existence of an armistice does not alter the case, on account of its being a mere military convention. The Court, therefore, refuses to take cognisance of the allegations made by General RAMORINO in support of his appeal. In consequence of this sentence, RAMORINO was shot on the 22d, at half-past six, A.M. The Messagiere Modenese, of the 18th, states that the Austrians had begun their march upon Faenza, and that their ',head-quarters were at San Lazzaro, near Bologna. By a notification of the civil and military Austrian Governor GORZKOWSKI, of the 18th, at four P.M., Bologna is declared in a state of siege, the press is placed under preventive censure ; the civic guard suspended, the corps francs dissolved, and arms of every description are to be given up. The Riforma of Lucca announces that the entrance of the Austrians into Bologna took place on the 17th. The Roman troops of the line, stationed at Fuligno and other places in the vicinity, have marched for Rome. The Monitore Toscano lately denied that the Grand Duke of TUSCANY was a party to the Austrian inva sion into his states. The same paper now contains a manifesto of the Commissary-Extraordinary SEM TORT, dated the 18th in which the intervention of Austria is gratefully acknowledged, as may be seen from the following paragraph : " Tuscans, the assistance which the Imperial and Royal Austrian Government has given to Leopold 11., was loudly called for by the general condition of the Penin sula, and by the necessity of putting a stop to the dis turbances which lacerated Central Italy." At Rome, on the 17th, the Triumvirs issued a proclamation stating that hostilities were suspended between the Roman Republic and the French. At the request of M. LESSEPS, the French Envoy, the Assembly nominated three of their members to have a conference with General OUDINOT. On the 16th a division of 12,000 men left Rome in order to attack the Neapolitans at Albano. • The Opinione of Turin publishes a circular ad dressed by the Triumvirate to the presidents of the provinces, dated the 15th, in which it is stated that Rome begins to reap the fruit of her courage; that the arrival of M. DE LESSEPS proves that the former hostile attitude of the French forces was merely owing to the instructions relating to the intervention having been misunderstood ; that further hostilities are suspended, and the military expedition is reduced to its true limits ; that the nature of the Roman question is con sequently different from what it was in the outset, since France must either now fight on the Roman side, or assist the latter byiher moral influence. The document further directs that this intelligence be everywhere made known, to confirm the people in their determination, and that the populations be or ganised as a levee en masse, for which purpose the Central Government has sent an experienced officer into the four northern provinces, and another to the central ones; as for Naples, the circular declares that Rome alone will effectually check attacks from that qulrter. Letters from Rome of the 21st state that M. LES• sErs had delivered in an ultimatum, consisting of three articles—one stating that the French troops had been called for by the Roman Republic, a second admitting the right of the Roman people to choose their own form of government, and a third permitting the entrance of the French troops, which ultimatum had been submitted to the National Assembly and rejected unanimously. These letters also state that the Neapolitans had retired to Veletri, where GARIBALDI was in great force. The probability is that they have been de feated at Albano. The Tuscan .Moniteur states that the following are the bases proposed by M. LESSEN to the Roman Government for a convention :—The spontaneous reestablishment of Pius IX., with all the liberal and constitutional guarantees claimed by the people of Rome, and the surrender of the quarter of the Vati• can to the French troops pending the negotiations. The siege of Venice continued on the 15th. On the 13th the Venetians made a successful sortie, and dislodged the enemy from one of their redoubts. Marshal THURN had arrived to take the command of the 2d corps of reserve, in place of General lIAINAU, who has been summoned to take a command against the Hungarians. The Austrians were about to quit Leghorn on the 24th, tranquillity being completely restored. Flo rence also remained quiet. The Piethnontese Gazette of the 23d states that the King of SARDINIA was better, the fever having some what abated, and his MAJESTY had had a calm and refreshing sleep.

Labouchere left town on Saturday, for Chislehur3 t. ONF4Y and COMIITERCIAL NEWS. Cli Y, QUARI ER TU Tile sales of Cotton at Liverpool amounted to from 4,000 to 5,000 bales; 4,000 American realised 3id. to 61 2 d., 40 Bahia 4id„ and 200 Surat 3d. to 341 per lb. The market closed heavily.—Railway Shares were quite inactive, and prices were lower again. In Mark-lane to-day a moderate business was trans acted, as regards most articles of grain, and last week's prices have been well supported. Upon the subject of the Iron trade we have the fol lowing in Aris's Birmingham Gazette of to-day:— "It is always much easier to induce a downward than an upward tendency, and this, together with the hesitation iu giving orders manifested by a large Lon don house, whose opinions, from the extensive nature of its operations, ' g;nerally influence the mov e men t s of our leading firms here, induced us to offer a guarded report of the late quarterly meetings, and the then prospects of the trade. Events have fully justified that caution. It is notorious that, even by first-rate makers, Iron has been sold throughout the quarter at less than the nominal rates latterly; as much as 20s. under, particularly in Liverpool and London, where the Welsh Iron greatly interferes with the Staf fordshire market; while those who, from principle, or from other motives, refuse to concede, have been left in active. Indeed, much doubt has been expressed whether in any single instance Bar Iron has bond fide realised 71. 10s. Sales of Pigs have also been reported from a Staffordshire maker under 31. per ton, though not extensive; nor does the disposition to sell appear so marked as among manufacturers. Several furnaces have been put out of blast, and the make of others consider ably reduced, to avoid as much as possible the accumu lation of stocks. That the workmen will quietly accede to the proposed reduction in their wages seems to be unquestioned. The advance was altogether as unex pected by them as it was thankfully received; and under the present cheapness of all the necessaries of life, they will easily accommodate themselves to their former earn ings without inflicting any distress upon their families." The continental advices are not of political import ance to-day, but the letters received by firms in the City are not generally written in more confident or satisfac- tory terms than those already to hand, if we except perhaps those from Paris. There, great expectations aro formed of the power and ability of the new Assem bly to give a better tone to public feeling, and to allay the mistrust that was arising from the presumed hostile intentions of the Socialists on the one hand, and the re actionary views of the Ministry on the other. The Hamburgh, accounts of Friday last advise us of continued negotiations for peace, but at the same time notice the more rigorous enforcement of the blockade. There were three Danish frigates off the mouth of the Elbe, and English, American, and other ships had been alike prevented from leaving. A Spanish vessel was chased and captured. Whether the Germans will attempt any naval exploit remains to be proved, but two war steamers, the Lubeck and Hamburgh, had gone to sea from Cuxhaven. Business at the Baltic ports was exceedingly dull, whe ther in grain or other articles. At Odessa the stock of Wheat was nearly 100,000 quarters, although no fresh supplies had been received. St. Petersburgh letters of the 18th instant, state that for many principal articles the markets were materially better, and that there had been increased dealings. The great work of drying the Harlem Lake is fast drawing to a close, according to the Dutch papers. Al ready the water is reduced to one metre below the level of Amsterdam. The intelligence from the United States and Canada advises no particular alteration in mercantile affairs. The rate of exchange on London continued at 1084 to, being steady. Freights were without change, but trade was exhibiting marked signs of improvement ; and was expected to be considerably better. Money was p:entiful, and had - been exceedingly easy since the pre vious steamer left. Cotton was dull, and provisions ge nerally were cheaper. The excitement in Canada con tinued to interfere with business, but no further acts of violence are reported. There is scarcely any business doing in the English securities, and the market has varied but little, Consols being 91* to 4. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 90! 4, and the Three per Cents. 89i to 90. Bank Stock is worth 1931. Exchequer-bills have been 45s to 48s ; and India Bonds, 69s to 71s premium. In the foreign market there is no buoyancy, but the dealings are very restricted. Mexican have been lower again, viz. 294 to 30 with, and 274 to 28 without the Coupons.
