Int LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 18, 1849. At length Parliament vs ill have an opportunity of revoking one of the grossest acts of Ministerial jobbing ever recorded in the annals of an English Administration. To-morrow evening the Earl of LiNcoLx will move for the presentation of an address to her MAJESTY, expressing the disatisfaction of the House of Commons at the recent grant of Vancouver's Island to the Hudson's Bay Company, declaring, moreover, that in the opinion of the representatives of the people the Secretary for the Colonies had adopted insufficient means for the purpose of ascertaining whether or not the acceptance of such a grant by the Company was consistent with their Charter of Incor poration; and for these reasons, and out of these considerations, prayi n g her MA,PESTY "to be graciously pleased to direct that such measures as shall appear to her MAJESTY most suitable may be adopted to ascertain whether, by the charter in question, a grant, in all respects valid, has been made of the powers which it purports to convey." In other words, the Noble Lord the Member for Falkirk will endeavour to worst the Cabinet in its intentions, and to reclaim to ourselves that magnificent island, which the Earl GREY would fain shufe into the mer cantile clutches of a relative. Were the subject at issue one of comparative insig nificance as to its intrinsic value, were this Quadra no better than a coral reef, or a sandbank, not adorned with one tuft of vegetation, we should nevertheless take a peculiar interest in the revocation of this act of the Government, seeing that it might ultimately assume a very dangerous importance, by becoming a precedent. As it is, however, the matter possesses more than one induce ment to such an interpositionas that projected forito morrow by the Earl of LINCOLN. The snug manner in which Vancouver's Island has been granted away to the Hudson's Bay Company, quite nab 'visa, is reason for the interference of Parliament, not only because this same grant may be subsequently brought forward as a very inconvenient precedent, but also, and especially, because it is directly to the in terests of the empire that an island so situated, and abounding with such peculiar resources, should remain in the possession and under the immediate jurisdic tion of the mother country. To hand over, at such a period as the present, an island of this particular ')% character, geologically and geographically, to any niehintilditcompany, would be a shameful resigna- Ter the very thing that could best tend to ea . trify the Wiknts of the empire. But to grant it (of all_c*rneiclal associations in the whole world) to the iluds - ou's 131).y Company, is the very height of mad nes, or 'the very depth of folly ; it is carrying the ‘ 4, r THE SUN, policy of the Government either up to the zenith of the most rash extravagance, or sinking it down to the nadir of the most 'grovelling subserviency to family interests. Which of the two we leave the judgment of the community to decide. On the very face of the transaction, before analysing its motives in the smallest degree, it is manifest—indecently manifest—to the public eye that the Cabinet, so far from being actuated by a broad and statesmanlike, not to say a pure and patriotic view of the matter, has yielded to the seductions of private friendship, and has sacrificed the interests of the nation at large to fill the pockets of a small but avaricious band of monopolists. The fact is vividly revealed on the very outside of the engagement ; and the further scrutiny of the grant and its origin only corroborates the impression forced upon our minds from the commencement. The more we look at this rash act of the Colonial Secre tary, the more fully we are satisfied that we might, with the most complete justice, say of the Earl GREY as the young lady exclaimed of Mr. JOB CAUDLE, "0, he's such a Family Man F' Of this, however, we are profoundly convinced, that the Noble Earl will not find the House of Commons to-morrow evening in a very joking humour, or disposed in any manner to wink at a proceeding so calculated to interfere with the development of our national greatness. The retention of Vancouver's Island even at the present moment is very far indeed from being a sub ject of small importance. What will it not be when the trade of the Pacific (now dawning into existence) has advanced to the meridian of its prosperity? When the intercourse between the old world and the new shall be reciprocated on both oceans—when the teas, and the indigo of China, and the rice and the mineral riches of Hindostan, and the spices and fabrics of the Oriental Archipelago shall flow towards the western shores of America—when a line of traffic has been opened (as it will in the end be inevitably opened) across the soil of the New World, connecting together with ribs of iron the Pacific and the Atlantic—when England is enabled to communicate with her most remote colonies, with India and Australia, with Labuan and New Zealand, and to communicate with them, not by a mixed route across, the different countries of Europe and Asia, where the mail might at any moment be stopped by the strug• gles of war or by the outbreak of a revolution when the power of Britain binds together the whole of her vast but scattered posses sions by a line stretching directly across the Atlantic, across her North American possessions, and across the Pacific to Sidney, to Calcutta, to Hong- Kong, to Sarawak, and to Cape North;—then, in truth, the inestimable value of Vancouver's Island will be signally manifested. Then, when too late, the insanity of this grant to the Hudson's Bay Company would be apparent to the poorest capacity. As affording shelter for our vessels of war and our ships of merchandise, as yielding abundance of coal for our steamers, as presenting the very best egress from our North American colonies, Vancouver's Island would then, as we have intimated, be altogether inestimable. Even as it is now, however, as an island commanding the eastern ocean, and being so situated geographically and so composed geologically, being the key opening North America to Asiatic en terprise, and being moreover the most convenient coaling station along the whole coast from Behring's Straits to Terra del Fuego—the retention of Van couver's Island by the British Government is directly associated with cur progress as a nation and our con solidation as an empire. Hence it is that we are so earnestly solicitous that the effort to be made to-morrow evening by the Earl of LINCOLN may receive the cordial co-operation of the House of Commons. Mr. SMITH O ' BRIEN and his unfortunate asso ciates in guilt will not gain much by their latest, and we trust, we may say, their final attempt to defeat the ends of justice, or rather to postpone the execution of the mitigated punishment which her MaimsTr, in the exercise of her undoubted prerogative, had merci fully substituted for the extreme penalty assigned by the law for the serious offences of which they had been convicted on the clearest and most unquestion able testimony. The fullest opportunities have already been afforded to these unhappy men of taking the opinions of the various tribunals before which the question of their legal guilt or innocence could be constitutionally decided. We say, of their legal guilt or innocence, because no doubt or difficulty could exist on the subject of their moral turpitude. It could not be denied that they had aseembled a body of armed men in open and undisguised rebellion against the Royal authority, that they had, in legal parlance, levied war upon the SOVEREIGN within her dominions, and that they contemplated effecting, by illegal and unconsti tutional means, the overthrow of the Government, and the subversion of the national institutions in, at least, one portion of those dominions. Objections were, however, raised by the counsel entrusted with their defence, that they had been deprived of certain privileges to which parties accused of high treason were justly entitled. Although these points savoured more of legal subleties than of substantial justice, and could not in the slightest degree affect the real merits of the caso ; although the three Learned Judges who so ably and impartially presided at the trials had overruled these objections, on the most convincing reasons, an appeal was unhesitatingly allowed to the highest criminal tribunal in the country, the Court of Queen's Bench in Ireland. After hearing protracted arguments from some of the most eminent counsel of that or perhaps of any nation, the Court unanimously affirmed the judgments of the Court below, the Judges delivering their decisions seriatim, in terms that elicited the most unequivocal approbation from those best qualified to form sound opinions on the profound learning and impartiality displayed therein. The prisoners were not, however, satisfied ; they were not yet prepared to respect the majesty of the laws against which they had offended, or to sue for that mercy which our mild and benig nant SOVEREIGN would never refuse to the humble suppliant, when it could be exhibited consistently with the national safety. No ; they still resisted to the uttermost, and made a further appeal to the ul timate tribunal, the House of Peers of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The Irish Attorney-General might have refused his fiat to that appeal—believing that the errors assigned in the petition were frivolous and untenable, that no com petent person could for a moment entertain a second opinion on the subject, he would have been fully justified in refusing his assent to any further delay, and in having the sentence of the law carried into immediate execution. But not so. That Learned functionary was determined to withhold no privilege that could legally be claimed, to afford no pretext for the assertion that full and impartial jus tice was not ren d ere d t o th e un h appy conv i cts. The right of further appeal was unhesitatingly conceded, and the writ s o f error to the House of Lords were sued out with the sanction of the law officers of the Crown in Ireland. The result of that appeal must be within the recol lection of all our readers. After the cases of the p r i. soners had been fully argued by the talented counse selected by themselves, the House of Lords, without calling for any reply, unanimously affirmed the vali dity of all the proceedings, and the Judge 3 of England, without a single dissentient voice, approved of that decision. No further delays could then have been interposed to retard the execution of the dread sentence. Every device bad been ex hausted, and the forfeited lives of the wretched criminals were placed at the disposal of the Execu tive. Justice, however, was tempered by mercy, and an intimation , was conveyed to the prisoners that the Royal prerogative would be exercised in their favour, and that the capital punishment would be remitted, on condition that they should be transported for life from their native land. No formal document was signed—no legal pardon was granted that could have been relied on. Independent to the last, and still desirous of impeding the proceedings of the Government, these wretched men proudly refused the offered commutation, and declared themselves ready to undergo the sentence originally delivered, to suffer death upon the scaffold, in accordance therewith. What course, then, remained for the Executive ? Should the ridiculous vanity of these unfortunate criminals be gratified ? Should they be permitted practically to commit suicide, and to. meet the dreadful fate from which the Royal cle- mencY would release them ? Every consideration of justice and expediency forbade so melancholy a con summation. It would be beneath the majesty of justice to be diverted from its course by the insane and fatuous conduct of those parties. And, however, the mercy of our Most Gracious QUEEN might be despised and rejected, it could not be re called. Should further procrastination then be sanctioned ? Should the public mind still be excited and disturbed by further arguments as to the right of the criminals to insist upon the execution of the original sentence ? Most decidedly not. To do so would be to bring the majesty of the law into contempt and disrepute, and to encourage future offenders to bring forward simi lar absurdities. The Government wisely and judi ciously determined to adopt a course which would terminate all further discussion. A Bill was accord ingly brought into the House of Lords on Thursday, and (the standing crders being suspended) passed through its different stages the following day, not making any new enactments, but declaratory as to the state of the existing law, and affirming the power of her MAJESTY to commute the capital punishment in cases of treason into transportation for life, or for such other term as might seem expedient. This Act will doubtless pass through the House of Commons with similar expedition. The opinions of Lords BROUGHAM, CAMPBELL, and DENMAN, clearly and deliberately expressed on the occasion of the first reading of the Bill, prove that the power of com muting the sentence of death for any minor punish ment already exists in Ireland. But if any doubt existed on the subject, surely no rational being could allege that it should not be finally and for ever set at rest, and that no obstinacy on the part of a convicted traitor should enable him either to demand the exe cution of the highest penalty, or altogether to evade the penal consequences of his crime. TEE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. It was rumoured in Paris that an insurrection had broken out at Lyons, and that the insurgents were in possession of more than half of the city. It appears that on Wednesday large crowds were assembled at Lyons, and there were various processions through the streets, but the people were quiet, and no colli sion took place. On the following day, however, the authorities caused upwards of 100 persons to be arrested, and in consequence a collision took place and many lives were lost. The insurgents have, it is said, gained possession of the telegraph, and thus cut off the communication with Paris. The Moniteur of Saturday publishes a decree declaring Lyons, and the military district in which it is situated, in a state of siege. Disturbances are also said] to have broken out at Toulouse and at Lille. The .Moniteur also publishes a decree by which the publication of the Reforme, the Potpie, the Demo cratie Pacifi ' que the Revolutio n D emocrat i c et Sociale, the Vraie Republique, and the Tribunes des Peuples are suspended. The Moniteur contains a report from the Minister of Justice on the necessity of rendering justice in France gratuitous for the poor. The law, as at present administered, is attended, the report says, with so many formalities, that the poor are very fre quently prevented from having recourse to its juris diction. To remedy the evil, either special courts could be established, such as are s een in Piedmont under the designation of courts f or the poor ; or all fees could be done away with, as is practised in Bel gium, Holland, and several states of Germany. To examine the question, the report proposes to have ' a committee named, consisting of M. Renouard, Councillor of the Court of Cassation ; M. Aylies, President of the Court of Appeal at Paris ; M. Berville, advocate• general at the same Court ; M. de Bel leyme, President of the Tribunal of Premiere In stance° at Paris ; M. Paul Fabre, advocate at the Court of Cassation ; Duvergier, advocate of the Court of Appeal; M. Boinvilliers, Batonnier of 3 the Order of Advocates at the Court of Appeal at Paris ; and M. Aubenas, chef de bureau at the Ministry of Justice. The President of the Republic has approved of the committee. There is a report in the Alonitertr from the Minis ter of Justice recommending the appointment of a special committee to consider the difficult, question of the mortgage system. The committee consists of MM. Pougeaud and Wolowski, representatives of the people ; M. Giraud, member of the Institute ; M. Renouard, councillor of the Court of Cessation ; M. Persil senior, advocate at the Court of Appeal of Paris ; M. Paul Fabre, advocate at the Court of Cessation ; M. Calmon, ex-director-general of the registration office ; M. de Dalmas, director of civil affairs at the ministry of Justice; M. Royer, author of a work on mortgages ; M. A. Fould, the banker, and M. Armand, chef de bureau at the ministry of justice. This committee the President of the Republic has approved of. The .JlunUeur publishes a decree signed by the PRESIDENT of the Republic, and countersigned by the Minister of the Interior, convoking for the Bth of July the Electoral Colleges for the election of depu ties for the places that have become vacant by the choice of members, by decease, resignation, or other wise. The number of places so vacant is 3S. The following is a report of the proceedings in the National Assembly, on Friday evening : The President read the order of the day for the next sitting. The Assembly will meet in its bureaux, to exa mine several propositions ; among others, those relative to the banks depending on landed property, and the re form in the mortgage system. M. Beaumont (de la Somme) demanded that two com mittees should be named to examine these propositions. M. Vegin proposed to the Assembly to name one com mittee of thirty members, two from each bureau, to examine them both, The proposition of M. Vezin was put to the vote and adopted. M. V. Hugo demanded permission of the Assembly to put a question to the members of the Cabinet.--(Speak, speak.) The Assembly, he doubted not, would wish that every guilty act should be repressed, and if the journals were to- be believed, certain acts of violence had been committed in different printing-offices of the capital, which were an attack on legality, liberty, and property. He, therefore, demanded of the Government if an inves tigation into the affair had been ordered with a view to ulterior proceedings? The Minister of the Interior said that the Govern ment regretted, as much as the lion. Gentleman could do, what had occurred. The act complained of had taken place spontaneously, and the authorities were neither able to foresee nor to prevent it. It had been said, that an aide-de-camp of General Changarnier had taken a leading part iu the outrage, but that he must formally deny. lie went to the spot to repress it, but it was too late; all the mischief had been done, and no attention moreover was paid to him. As soon as the Government had been informed of what had taken place, orders had been given to ascertain the amount of damage done, and to discover the authors of it; and he could assure the Assembly that justice would be done in the affair.—(Hear, hear.) He would, he said, take that opportunity of giving some information relative to the state of the interior of France.—(Marks of attention.) All the information re ceived by the Government proved that the movement which took place in Paris was generally expected in the provinces. The accounts received from all parts were most satisfactory, with one sole exception. At Lyons disturbance was imminent, and the prefect had written to demand that that city should be placed in a state of siege. He had received that account at half-past four, and bad immediately sent orders by the telegraph for it to be done. All the troops of 6th division of the army of the Alps had been placed at the disposal of the brave general who commanded at Lyons. Every precautionhad been taken, and no anxiety was felt as to the result of the struggle. At Dijon an assemblage of 400 persona had been formed, but they had been dispersed without difficulty. He was happy to say that the accounts pub lished of disturbances at Rheims were not correct. Some fears had at first been felt, and reinforcements of troops had been demanded, but their services had not been re gal' i Agi r e orl d mld . ste,h_ he nioe.

Proux and Rollie, and at the offices of several journals. Does not the Constitu tionnel dare to stigmatise these savage attacks on order and property? What consideration can Res train it? Is notthe crime flagrant? Is not the damage evident? But it is true that it is not the men of the people who rendered themselves culpable of these deplorable ex cesses. The responsibility falls exclusively on men of the opinion which the Constitutionnel represents and de fends. Because an attack on order has been committed by persons in the uniform of order, it is on that accoun t trans formed all at once into a perfectly lawful act? On the con trary, is it not on that account of greater gravity? In pre sence of such acts involuntarily the admirable conduct of the people in February comes to mind. The parallel between what the people, for whom there is now no• thing but abuse, then did, and what the men belonging is, we admit, some utionnel, and it has w to h t a h t e e p ni a b r a ty rr o a f ss o i r n d g er fo h r ave th j e us c t ,o d n o s n t e i; preferred being silent to dwelling on acts which could not fail to suggest this avenging comparison. But, at least, there arc other acts which took place in the neighbour hood of the Constitutionnel, at its very door, on which we may take the liberty of demanding from it same in formation. The Etat-Major of the artillery of the Na tional Guard has its offices in the Rue du 24 Fevrier, nearly opposite the Constitutionnel. On the 13th, about six in the evening, just as the brave colonel of the legion, M. Guinard, had gone out, an armed body broke into the bureaux, and thcugh no resistarce was made, gave way to shameful excesses. The flag was seized, and we are informed, though we can scarcely believe it, that their flag, on which shone the colours of France, and which the majesty of the Republic ought to have protected, was trampled under foot and dragged in the dust. But this flag belonged to the artillery of Paris, that noble armed advance guard of democracy, to all those men of firm republicanim, of whom M. Guinard is the worthy leader. It appears that that was a crime. But we wish to ask these intre pid heroes of order, who make such noble campai gns i n empty bureaux, ii the flag in question was not that which the artillery of Paris had received aft er th e d ays of June, and on which were inscribed the names of the artillerymen who had courageously fallen in that lamentable struggle. It was kept at the Cat-major's as a melancholy monument of that fatal period, as a pious souvenir of the victims of a cruel duty. Was it of that flag that the victors made a trophy to their furious pas sions? This is what it would be useful to declare or to deny. In presence of these new excesses, will the ConstitutiGnnel continue to be silent? In that case we reserve to ourselves to interpret its silence." The Presse has permanently separated itself from the party with which it has hitherto acted. In speaking of their acts it says— " Let the intimidation come from the right or from the left, be it red or white, be it exercised by the Republi cans of the Icndemain or of the veille, whether taking place or not under the Administration of M. llehillot, by graver and more culpable excesses than those com mitted under the Administration of M. Caussidiere, in timidation, we say, will not find us in its ranks in June, 1849, any more than in March, 1848. We therefore separate publicly from the party which, without neci sity, voted on Wednesday, by acclamation, the state of siege for eleven departments; which, on Thurs day, voted with the s ame rea di ness t h e urgenc y o f a Bill suppressing temporarily one of the liberties gua ranteed by the Constitution, the liberty of meeting peaceably; which to-morrow, without doubt, will pro pose to suspend anotherliberty—that of manifesting one's opinions by means of the phos ; which, to all appear ance, will not stop short in th'is course until it has com pletely run through it. With liberty we desire order, but with order we desire liberty. We do not disjoin them, as whatever does so prepares a new revolution. What matters it on which side an overturn into the abyss takes place? Only one thing is import snt—not to be overturned. In our soul and conscience, particularly after the vote of May 7, the order to enter Rome by force is in manifesticontradiction with the articles of the Con stitution, which declares that the French 11. , -public is never to employ its force against the liberty of any peo-. ple. The day of June 13 has not caused us to change our opinion —what we thought before we think after; and we say this, even were this declaration to expose our printing establishment to the devastation exercised egainst those of M. Bottle and M. Proux on June 13, 1849, and which rendered illustrious a battalion of the Ist legion of the National Guard, commanded by Capt. Vicyra.t." The preliminary examinations into the events of the 13th were c ommence d on F r id a y morn i ng , an d I continued without relaxation the whole of the day, by tour examnining magistrates, Mi\f. E. BERTRAND, LEGONIDEC, BRAULT, and FILHON. Arrests also continued to be made throughout the day, and in the evening amounted to 300, including most of the members of the German Democratic Committee, and other Socialist propagandists. The papers and docu ments seized, and the domiciliary visits made, led to the issue of fresh warrants against other persons. The Opinion Publigue says that, after escaping from the Conservatoire des Arts et Matiers, M. LEDRTJ ROLLIN went to Versailles, where he passed the night. At an early hour the next morning he went to St. Germains, and from that place proceeded on foot through the forest to Poissy. I3e there took the railway to Havre, from whence he immediately embarked for England. The Gazette des Tribunaux announces the arrest of M. CONSIDERANT, but the Droll says that the state ment which was current on Saturday to that effect is untrue. The National publishes the following letter from M. GUINARD : " Conciergerie, 9 o'clock at ni g ht, J une 15 . "My dear Dures,—l hav e b een j us t i n f orme d of a shamelul article in this day's Cour r i er Fraricais. The whole is in exac t ; I rema i ne d w i t h my b rave comrades up to the last mom en t. O ur a ttit u d e b e f ore t h e so l d i ers was that of men who respe c t th emse l ves . Th e C ourr i er can, on that point, interrogate the Colonel, Lieutenant ! Colonel, and a chef de bataillon of the •2d. I ought to affirm besides that the representatives Boichot and Rattier were not exposed a single moment to the un worthy treatment mentioned in the Courrier. O ur ene mies ought not to forget whatis due to ad versar i es i n our present position. It is sad to think that men who ought to respect each other sh ou ld so completely forget the most simple duties of honourable men. All bulletins, when no combat has taken place, are ridiculous. Make use, I pray you, of this note to rectify the article of the Courrier. "A. GUINARD." The National declares that there is no truth in the report that M. GOUDCHAUX had been arrested. The PRESIDENT of the Republic, attended by the Ministers of Instruction and of Public Works, visited the Cholera Hospital on Saturday. The Government has received the following dis patch from General OUDINOT, dated Villa Santucci, June 7:— GENERAL OUDINOT TO THEnaMyINISTE dispatch il " o the AR 4th, I had ‘Msi‘ t o h n eh e o u n r o l u e r M o n g i s i t v r i g — y l o n u an account of the taking of the Villa Parnfili, the church of St. Pancras, and the Corsini and Valentini residences. The possession of these important points was indispensable for the strong support of the works of siege on the left ; our posses. sion of them was vigorously contested, and required, during the sth and 6tb, the most active vigilance, and gave rise to several engagements, in which the advan tage remained constantly with our troops. I have now to acquaint you with the progressive and regu lar cobrse of the operations of the siege, and the successive incidents as we approach the place. On the 4th, at half-past eight in the evening the trenches were opened at a distance of about 300 metres from the wall ; 1,200 workmen were taken to the line forming a development of from 1,000 to 1,400 metres. At this part the ground is very uneven and covered with vines and hedges. The tracing the parallel and the distribu tion of the workmen were very difficult—on some points the work could not be undertaken before midnight. At this moment, and to divert the attention of the enemy, I ordered General Regnault de Saint Jean d'Angcly, commanding the troops at the Villa Pamfili and at St. Pancras, to make a feigned attack on that side, and to open a fire after ten o'clock. The result of this diversion surpassed my hopes. All the efforts of the Romans were turned towards the gate of St. Pan. eras, which they might suppose to be seriously menaced. The works of the parallel were not for an instant dis turbed, and there was not a man wounded on this point during the night. At daybreak some points of the parallel were still incomplete; it was, however, covered throughout. The artillery was engaged during the whole of the night of the 4th in constructing two bat teries; that on the left was to reply to the fire of the bastion No. 6; that on the right to silence the fire of Mount Testacio, where the enemy had made prepara tions of defence; it had also to silence the battery of St. Alexis, on Mount Aventino. The work of the sth regularised the dimensions of the parallel. The battery on the left opened its fire at six in the morning, :and silenced bastion No. 6. The battery on the right did not commence its fire till towards noon. Its ac tion was shown by the interruption of the fire of Mount Testacio. The night of the sth was employed in per fecting the trench, and the construction of a battery in the centre of the parallel. The Villas Corsini and Va lentini, occupied by our troops, were the constant objects of the fire of musketry, and even artillery of the city. I thought it would be possible, by means of some works, to secure this occupation, and render the communication more by th e e e a n s be continued without int erru ption. The operations of y g . ine T er h s e , wchosnsittnrunicteidoinateolfyteheemsemwenorekeds: a d n ir d ec w te il d i the siege had also a regular progress on the 6th. Our batteries have only replied to the enemy. They have suffered no injury, and are free in action. The correct ness of our aim must have caused considerable loss to the enemy. Our loss is incomparably small con sidering the results obtained. On the 4th, sth, and 6th it amounted to only fifty wounded, and six killed. At Ponte Molle the situation is considerably ameliorated. Our establishment there is consolidated without serious opposition, the broken arch has been repaired so as to permit with ease the passage of columns. Daily recon naissances are made on the left bank of the Tiber. The health of the troops is excellent. t hr io s nlz ais k publishes the following (Signed) " OUDINOT DE REGGIO." the co t r T he e r s P n n ojin4 c l h l ,d l Se a . en r M D: b E e y i, :L e awEn Nationale a E c and dsathide Romanto have Triumvirate taken place " In reply to the communication addressed by you to me this morning, containing a letter of the General of your reply, I have the honour to declare to you that I maintain the arrangement signed yesterday, and that I leave for Paris, in order to have it ratified.

The Cologne Gazette gives a very different version of the alleged attempted assassination of the Prince of PRUSSIA to the one which we published from the Berlin papers on Saturday. This journal says that it was not the ball of an assassin, but that of the Prince himself; which struck the postilion ; that the driver was proceeding too slowly, upon which the Prince drew a pistol from his pocket, and with one shot threw the man from his horse. This story is generally believed at Prarkfort. The Duke of ANuAuLr BERNBURG has issued a proclamation, dated the 9th, announcing that he ad heres to the Federal State and Constitution proposed by the three Kings. The Cologne Gazette has the following from Ber lin, 12th :—" Orders were sent to-day to General DE RITTWITZ, Commander-in-Chief of the German troops engaged against Denmark, to hold himself en tirely on the defensive, and not to undertake any thing that may bring on a serious conflict. This order is in consequence of the progress that has been made in the negotiations for peace." BAVAitIA. The Diet was dissolved on the 11th. BAJJEA. The Prussian troop were to attack the Baden in surgents on the 16th. The insurgents are commanded by MIEROSLAWSKY. On the morning of the 13th an affair took place near Waldmichelbach, in Odenwald, with a body of workmen of Manheim and some Swiss carabiniers, who were endeavouring to make an irruption in the Grand Duchy. They were put to flight by the Mecklenburg dragoons, under the command of Colonel WITZLEBEN. At Worms, on the 13th, the Prussian Hussars and the soldiers o: the Palatinate came to blows, in which the latter had five killed and three wounded, and the former three killed and one wounded. There are 2,000 Prussian troops in Worms. WURTILMBURG. In the sitting of the German National Assembly, at Stuttgardt, on the 13th, the decree of the Govern ment of Mecklenburgh Schwerin recalling its two deputies, was read, and protested against by both of them. RAvEaux, one of the Regency, informed the Chamber they had written to Generals PEUCKER and MILLER, to aid in restoring peace to the empire. The first had made no reply. The second answered that he was bound only to obey the Archduke JouN, who had appointed him General of the troops of the empire. In consequence, M. RAVEAUX said the Re gency had deposed him, and had informed the Wur temburg Government that General MILLER no longer held the command of the Bth division. The Regency had resolved to form an army for the protection of the territory of the empire and the constitution, and had called on Baden, the Palatinate, and Wurtem burg, for 5,000 infantry and four squadrons of artil lery from each for that purpose. The Wurtemburg Aliniqry, how had made no reply to the request. The Assembly remitted the question to the Committee of 15. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Emperor of AUSTRIA has sent to Field Marshal PASKIEWITSCH the Grand Cross of the Order of Saint Stephen in diamonds, with the following auto graph letter : " Marshall I was gratified by having had an oppor tunity of making a personal acquaintance with you in the city which the high confidence placed in you by the Emperor your master assigned to you as a centre for your activity, and which for a series of years has been witness of the terviecs you have rendered to your Sovereign, your country, and social order in all Europe. I have seen also in the choice of you made by the Emperor, for the chief command of the troops which his Majesty has been pleased to send to me for stifling a criminal revolt, a new guarantee for the triumph of our just cause. Although my stay at War saw was but short, it was quite long enough to augment the sincere admiration and esteem with which I was in spired by the brilliant exploits which render your name illustrious in the annals of history. In remembrance, I send you by my aide-d e • cam p, B aron d e Langenoia, the Grand Cross of my order of St. Stephen, in diamonds. I hope that this insignia .will remind you of the senti ments of esteem and acknowledgment of your affec tionate " FRANCIS JOSEPH." Accounts have been published at Vienna of an alleged victory gained by JELLACHICII over the Magyars, but the accounts are by no means clear, and stand in need of confirmation. The Viennese journals also publish an account of " PERCZEL'S sally from Peterwardin and his subse quent defeat," which defeat, even upon their own showing, is a victory. It appears that PERCZEL made a sally from Peterwardein, drove back the Imperial ists at the point of the bayonet, aid took several pieces of cannon. On the arrival of reinforcements to the imperialists, PERCI/EL returned to Peterwardein, taking with him several but not all the pieces of the Austrian artillery. That these were the facts we gather from the concluding words of the dispatch, which are as follows :—" But at about eight in the morning rein foments arrived for the Austrians from Karlowitz, sent by General ItAsTic, and this turned the murde rous contest in favour of the Austrians. The Magyars were driven back to Peterwardein, and some of the guns recovered. The losses of both armies were very considerable." From Orsova, they report that General LUDERS had received orders from the CZAR to march with his Russian forces against liermandstadt and Cronstadt, and he had therefore begun his march into Transyl vania. Another corps will replace his troops in Wallachia, and they will be succed by a corps of Russians from the Ukrain. Prince LurrroLD of Bavaria has arrived al Vienna. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. We have received our Hamburgh papers of the 15th inst. The news from Schleswig-Holstein and Jutland is of little interest. The late news of the delivery of the Hessian Hussars turns out to be a false report, for letters from Copenhagen prove that the prisoners did arrive in the Danish capital. From Frederica we have no news of any importance. Another Russian war steamer, the Ischia, has ar rived at Copenhagen, announcing the fact of Admiral LAzARENv's squadron having sailed from Reval. The next post will doubtless bring the news of their arrival in the Great Belt. RUSSIA. The Journal of Constantinople states that the Rus sian fortress of Mamia, on the Black Sea, near Anapa Suhuk Kale, was attacked in April last by 12,000 Tscherkessans, and taken by them. The Rus sian garrison, consisting of 3,000 men, was partly destroyed and partly taken prisoners. The victors took one hundred cannons (?), and a large quantity of arms and ammunition. The corps under General NEDOROU, destined for Moldavia, endeavoured in vain to force their way through the Tscherkessans. ITALY. The Moniteur of Rome of the 7th publishes an offi cial dispatch announcing that the garrison of Ancona bad made a sally and had driven back the Austrian besieging forces with a loss of 500 men. The Concordia of Turin has intelligence from Rome of the 10th, at which date the city held out bravely. OUDINOT had made no further progress. The Risorgintento of Turin, of the 14th, states that the Civic Guard of Civita Vecchia, having refused to attend the procession of the Corpus Domini, the French troops did the duty in their stead. The King of SARDINIA was doing well. Fresh Austrian troops had arrived at Ferrara on the sth on their way to Ancona. The Austrians had attacked Ancona on the 11th. The Rivista Indipendente of Florence of the 9th state that the r orta kia and St. John of Latrah, of Rome, are threatened by' the Spaniards, Nea politans, and Swiss, who ap pet's to act in concert with the French. Three e diets have been pub lished at Rome by the Gov eri invent ; one decree ing a medal of honour 'to the combatants, another exhorting the people to calmnsss, and a third directing that those who remain without shelter, in consequence of their hous es being destroyed by shells, shall be received into soni e convent or palace. The Assembly is determined to 'resist, first, at the walls, then at the barricades, fen( I lastly, in the palace of the Assembly. A bulletin has been published, stating that the French were Aea sing the Villa Pain fili, and concentrating their 'Poi 'ces at Monte Mario. Ancona still resiets. Marshal RA.DETZKY has reviewed the Austrian troops at Leghorn.. The Concordia of Turin statt 's from Venice, June 4, that since the taking of Ma Ighera, the Austrians direct all their efforts against; the bridge of the la goons, which is perfectly able, to resist. All their attempts against Fort Brond 010 had miscarried. Notwithstanding the blockade, ;and the occupation of the coast by the Austrians, Venic e continued to receive provisions in great abundance.

(BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) LIVERPOOL, M ONDAY, JUNE 18. The North American Roy al Mail steam-ship Caledonia has been telegraphel off Holyhead this morning, at six o'clock. As she left Boston en the 6th, and Halifax on the 9th inst., her passage has been a very rapid one. Her arrival in Liverpool is looked for about one or two o'clock in the afternoon. In addition to her Majesty's mails, the Caledonia brings advices from the followin g places to the dates annexed :—Boston, June 6; I a.lifax, June 9; New York, June 6 ; Philadelphia, Be ltimore, and Wash ington, June 5 ; Charleston, Mo bile, and Montreal, June 4; New Orleans and Cincinnati, June 3. Letters will not be in to•avn till to-morrow morning. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at nearly 10,000 bale?, and comprised 7,000 to 8,000 American, at 34d. to 6,P., 200 Pernam and Marini:; at 4 d. to 51d., 100 Egyptian at 51d. to 61d., 400 Surat at 3d. to 4d., and 40 Sea Island at 9d. to is. 2d. per lb. The market closed with m uch animation at ex treme prices. —Railway Shares were rather firmer. The Corn Market is very firm, ;and has rather an up ward tendency. The letters by the steamer Ceietloniu, which has ar• rived from the United States, will .not be delivered until to-morrow morning. Accounts have been received from various parts of the Continent by the ordinary mails, and we can state without reservation, that upon the whole they are by far the most satisfactory that have come to hand for a long time past, in reference to the condition of the money markets. At Hamburgh, on the 15th instant, the rate of exchange on England was 13 91, and the price of gold was 4394. The funds were dealt in to a fair extent, but shares were rather quiet. Money continued very eariy. There had been an active demand for bills on St Petersburgh. Upon the subject of the Danish war the re appears likewise to be better promise of a settlement, but parties inte rested have very naturally so o ften expressed hopes on this subject, when writin g to their corre spondents in London, that vr e cannot attach too much importance to their statements. Indeed, it is not unlikely that the fact of the settlement will be first known in London, as there can be very little hope of an arrangement except under the influence and exer tions of Lord Palmerston. At Frankfort, on the 15th intlt., the Funds were in more request, and Austrian Five per Cents. were quoted 72. The Berlin Bourse on the 15th inst. was very animated, and Shares and. Stocks were generally higher. From Vienna, under date of the 13th instant, we learn that the Austrian Stocks and Shares were very firm, and Foreign Securities all higher. The Amsterdam market was firm yesterday, and in Dutch Two-and-a. Half per Cents. a goad business was done. Foreign Stocks were all higher. The Paris prices come better. Nothing of a more definite nature has transpired con cerning the probable character of the quarterly revenue accounts, but the impression in. City circles certainly is that there will be a deficiency. The market for Public Se curities is extremely buoyant this morning, and the termination of the Paris insurrection certainly gives a very decided tone, although in other parts of filo Continent there are many circumstances to excite doubt, and the revenue account must have a slight influence ; still there is a confident feeling, and at, present opinion seems in favour of a yet greater improvement in stock values, such is the abundance of unemployed capital. Assuming, however, that tranquillity is restored on the Continent, we must not expect such a quiet but steady influx of bullion as has been in progress here for some time past, for, on the contrary, the money having only been transmitted here for security, will be withdrawn again, and we trust beneficially and actively employed. It would be no disadvantage to England to be re, lieved of a portion of the id le surplus. Consols have touched 91i and for the opening and with out the dividend, having but a few days since been as low as 90i with the dividend. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. have realised 924 1, and the Three per Cents.. 911 a. Exchequer bills brought 425. to 455. premium, and India Bonds 70s. to 725. premium. East India Stock for account was quoted 253. The Foreign Stock Market has been lively, and with values all in the ascendant owing to the buoyancy of the Fnglish Funds, and the improvement abroad. Spanish Three per Cents. have been at 34k, and Portuguese Four per Cents. 274. Mexican ex coupons are 28i to Russian Bonds are worth 1021 to 103, and French Three per Cents. 53 50 to 54 .50, with the exchange at 25 45. Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been at 80, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. at 501 to I. Railway Shares have been in moderate request, and there is an improvement in North Western, Midland, Brighton, and South-Eastern. Caledonian are much the same. French shares are much in favour at im. proved values. FOREIGN RAILWAYS. tionlogn-: , , an!'

Although we have to notice a decided increase in the arrivals of foreign stock for our market' since this day week, they have been but moderate, the time of year considered. The total importation has amounted to 3,187 head, against 3,640 head at the corresponding period in 1848, and 4,129 head at the some time in 1847. We may observe, however, that the improved condition of the stock has fully made up for the falling-off in number.

The imports of foreign stock at Hull, &c., have been confined to about 400 head, chiefly Sheep and Calves. From Ireland the arrivals since this day se'nnight, have consisted of 106 Calves, in excellent condition. For the time of year, the Bullock receipts fresh up to our market to-day were but moderate as to number, but of excellent quality, nearly the whole being fit for immediate slaughtering. The attendance of buyers was tolerably good, owing to which, and to the dead meat markets being very scantily supplied, the Beef trade was steady, ands last week's prices were fairly supported. A few prime Scots sold at 3s 10d, but the general top figure for Beef did not exceed as 8d per Blbs. At the close of business a good clearance was effected. From Nor folk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we re ceived about 1,600 Scots, homebreds, and short horns; from the Western and Midland districts, 380 Here fords, runts, Devons, and Irish beasts, from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 320 horned and polled Scots. We were very largely supplied with Sheep, as will be seen on reference to our returns at foot. The primest old Downs and the best halt-breeds were in moderate request, at stationary prices. All other breeds of Sheep moved off heavily, at barely last week's currencies. Lambs, the supply of which was extensive, were a slow inquiry. In value, however, we have no change to notice. There was a large number of calves on offer. All kinds of veal ruled heavy, at, in some instances, drooping prices. The Pork trade was in a very inactive state, at previous quotations.

Wheat and Oats are now' in car in most of our forward counties. Letters from, the near continental ports state that a good, though not to say extensive, demand prevails for Wheat and Flour for shipment to England. During last week the arrive/ 8 of all Grain, as well as Flour, of English produce for this market were again limited. These from _lreland were confined to a few quarters of Malt, from Scotland to about 3,000 quarters of Oats. The imports from abreact were small on a comparison of weeks, viz., 4,73 7 quarters of Wheat; 9,994 ditto of Barley; 17,794 ditto of Oats; 839 ditto of Rye; 2,427 ditto of Beans; :387 ditto of Peas; 133 ditto of Tares; 30 ditto of Rapes eed; 85 ditto of sundry seeds; and 813 sacks of F L aur t. Fresh up for this morni ng ' s mar k et, the arr i vals o f English Wheat, coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample, were on a very limited scale ; hence, the quality of that Grain on offer, especially as a fair clear ance of the stands was effected on Friday, was small. The millers (who se at t en d ance was b ut moderate) being almost generally short of stock ; the demand for most kinds of Wheat of home produce was firmer than for some weeks past. In some few instances, selected qua lities of both red and white produced a trifle more money—say is per quarter—and the value of all other kinds was fairly supported. At the close of businero, nearly the whole of the samples had found buyers. The quality of the English Wheats here this morning was good. With Foreign Wheat, we were rather scantily supplied. This circumstance, together with its being known that cnly a limited quantity is at this time afloat inducad the importers to demand advanced rates. In partial in stances they succeeded in obtaining ls. per quarter more money for fine heavy wheats. All other kinds were in moderato request, at unaltered currencies. Floating cargoes were h e ld at Is advance. No English Barley offering on the spot, but the supply of foreign was good. In grinding sorts a good many sales took place, partly for shipment coastwise, while the value of distilling qualities 14116 well supported. Malting kinds were quite neglecaed. Very little Malt was on oflcr, nevertheless it exceeded the demand, which ru l e very heavy, at barely stationary prices. The supply of Oats was seasonably extensive, but a. large porti on o f i t was composed of inferior foreign qualities. Fine dry samples were held at full prices. All other kinds were neglected. There was an im proved demand for Beans, most kinds of which were held for rather more money. Peas ruled steady, but we have no improvement to notice in value. Indian Corn and Meal dull in sale. The Flour trade was in a veil inactive state, at last week's prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.
