Journalism, it appears, is to be gagged in this country by a means almost as effectual as that of the severest censorship. Instead of being liable to the arbitrary measures recently adopted towards the organ of the Mountain, we are to be rendered sub servient to , thwends of every great public offender through ta i n3,ldium of damages for articles that may be proatfunced libellous. The remarkable case which was decided on Tuesday in the Court of Queen's Bench, and by which Alderman HARMER as pro prietor of the Weekly Dispatch, was declared to be mulcted of a sum of 5001. for remarks printed in that journal nineteen years ago, commenting upon the character of his Highness the ex-Duke of BRUNS :, WICK, must not be erroneously confused in the ..; . . same category with the somewhat similar ac tions previously brought by the same plaintiff against certain newspapers called the Era and the Satirist. For, apart from the circumstance of the striking difference of tone assumed by those publi cations, it must be borne iu mind that the principal charge made by the ex-Duke of BRUNSWICK in the present instance had reference to an article contained in the Weekly Dispatch so far back as the September of 100. After a lapse of no less than nineteen years that article is produced in a court of justice, as suffi ciently libellous to enable the plaintiff to obtain _compensation. As to the obstacle presented against such a decisiOn by the Statute of Limitations, it will be observed that that was peremptorily overcome by the evidence given by a witness named CASIMIR . 14/KAOLD, who swore distinctly to having purchased, in the March of 1848, a copy of the paper printed in the September of 1830—thereby asserting the fact of a recent republication. It will scarcely cause any astonishment' to learn that measures will be adopted by the defendant fur the purpose of setting aside the verdict, when it is known that not only can the cir cumstance of a republication in 1848 be disproved, but conclusive testimony can be afforded that one of the most important witnesses on behalf of the plain tiff on a former occasion tendered his services to the defendant as one ready to appear in court against the ex-Duke of BRUNSWICK for 4 :consideration. When these things have been exposed there cannot remain a moment's doubt as to the ulterior decision of the judicial authorities. k, Long and deservedly has this country boasted of \ its capacity for affording shelter to the " refugees " from all the other dominions of the habitable globe. 'A - N Long has the nation prided itself upon that social se curity and that constitutional freedom which have rendered England the haven of those unfortunate .. persons - who are expatriated either through the un gre ness of some continental race, or through the v - of a whole people, rising to vindicate their Irked nationality by punishing with V 3, One sudden and awrul blow a protracted reign of enormities. Between those very opposite classes of fugitives England draws no distinction whatever, in so far as the circumstance of affording them alike a place of repose is concerned. The ob jects of execration find themselves as freely admitted to participate in the advantages afforded by our insti tutions as the men entitled to general sympathy and l i reverence. Whether it be with a view to assuage the griefs of the latter by commiseration, or to facilitate the expiation of the guilt of the former by affording them an opportunity of r e p entance, certain it is that Great Britain is accessible at all times, to the political victim and the political crimi na l, irrespective of all creeds, of all countries, o f a ll colours, of all policies, of all antipathies, and of a ll prsdileotions. • Red Republicans and Consavativ• Aristocrats, each find in England refuge from the pursuit of difficulties. Prince METTERNICH and N. Louis iBLANC, the Count DE NEUILLY, and lei• 3lAac CAUSSIDIERE, Signor MAZZINI and the Prince of PRUSSIA, Dom MIGUEL and General PEPE, the Conde DE MoiTEMOLIN and General ESPAR. TERO, Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON and M. Gui zor, among a multitude of others, have from time to time hurried over from the Continent during those moments of peril when the shelter of the United Kingdom presented to the wearied and the panic-stricken an irresistible fascina tion. And one and all have been admitted, with the same cordial and indiscriminate frankness, within the guardian bulwarks of our renowned and match less Constitution. It was left for the ex-Duke of BRUNSWICK to attach an additional notoriety to a name already sufficiently notorious, by being the first to repay this national generosity by a petty action against a journalist—an example, which, among kindred refugees, may prove so far contagious as to be inaugurative of a system of continual annoyance and extortion. A result, by the way, not at all improbable, seeing that the verdict given on Tuesday will act es a lure to those who, besides finding in such actions a means of gratifying their own evil and more ignoble passions, may perceive in them a method of replenishing their attenuated purses, and of generally improving their dilapidated fortunes. By such a proceeding battening upon the very race to whom they should have regarded themselves as bound by the bonds of eternal gratitude ! In such a case as that of the ex-Duke of BauNswicx, the veracity of the old axiom—the greater the truth the greater libel—becomes more than ever, and most painfully perceptible. Since the first instant of his expulsion from the dominions of his ancestors, the public mind of England has not hesi tated as to the calendar upon which should be inscribed the name of this personage whether among the political victims, or among the political criminals. In uttering the opinions, therefore, which our contemporary the Weekly Dispatch did, in re- I ference to the ex-Duke of I,lltur;swicx., that journal was only affording a new and striking testimony of its being an organ of the English people. For the circumstances contained in those articles were thought and believed long before they were printed by a large portion of the community. Besides, in speaking of the Duke of BauNswlcit as the Duke of BRUNSWICK, the journalist is as much entitled to deal honestly and candidly with his cha racter (as affecting the accuracy► of his de ductions) as he has to deal with the cha racter of any other man similarly situated. We would undertake to aver with confidence that accusations as bitter and damning to his personal character have been written, and printed, and pub lished regarding Dom MIGUEL, and yet, be it said to the honour of that Royal personage, he has never degraded himself so far as to come into a court of justice with actions for libel, seeking money as a salve to a damaged and decomposing reputation. Since the Revolution of February the press of England, as a whole, has in no degree at tempted to slur over the heinous guilt of the exile of Claremont ; we, ourselves, have again and again criticised his conduct and his character in the strongest language in our vocabulary, and yet the Count DE NEUILLY has spared himself the crown ing odium which has been flagrantly monopolized by the ex-Duke of BRUNSWICK. Let this per son rest assured of one thing namely, that the judgment of History will in no respect be favourably affected either by the verdict of the jury in the Court of Queen's Bench or by the 5001. damages. In his instance the decision of History has been perceptibly anticipated by the loud and unanimous opinion of his contemporaries. That opi nion is dark and damnatory—so dark and damnatory as to defy the purifying influence of a favourable verdict, accompanied by heavy damages—by damages so large as to have created quite a sensation in the court by their enormity. His Highness has consequently but little reason to congratulate him self upon his more than questionable success en Tuesday—especially seeing that the verdict is one obtained through evidence so rotten and fraudulent as to promise its ultimate reversal. Unless he may be solicitous to proceed as upon a rather profitable spe culation in his attacks upon the liberty of journalism, we would suggest to thw ex.-Duke a Bnvxew /CIL tl - 10 ntn his own natural and advisable. First, because he will finu it utue'shdri , of an impossibility to vilify still more his already sufficiently vilified reputation; and, secondly, be cause the effort would be as futile as ablutions to an Ethiopian. Although we can only find an opportunity of doing so with the utmost brevity, we cannot allow this evening to pass over without one word of allusion to the magnificent banquet given yesterday to Sir ROBERT PEEL by the Chief Magistrate of London. It came appropriately on the very day following the exhibition of the Protectionists in Drury-lane Theatre ; and is interesting not only as affording the antidote after the bane, but, in a par ticular measure, as revealing the liberality as well as the hospitality which form the characteristics of the present Mayoralty—a liberality of feeling and a hospitality of deportment such as call to our recollection the time when the civic chair was filled by the representative of Southwark. Throughout the whole of the period daring which Sir JAMES DUKE has discharged the duties of First Magistrate over this vast capital he has showed a noble disregard to all the allurements of partiality and to all the repulsions of prejudice ; and a final token of his indifference to anything like mere party feeling was displayed in the fact of the splendid banquet of last evening—a banquet in which he endeavoured, as the LORD MAYOR of London, to express the national gratitude to the great man whose oratorical powers and statesmanlike genius directed the councils of the last Administration. The speech by which the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR intro duced the toast of the entertainment was admir ably expressive of those sentiments of pro• found admiration with which Sir ROBERT PEEL ;s regarded by the vast bulk of the people of England. And the masterly oration in which the Right Hon. Baronet responded to that toast, was not only an additional evidence of the patriotic disinterestedness of his motives, but pre sented a supplementary proof of his largeness of view, and of his dignified and glorious superiority to the dictates of a merely personal ambition. Every detail of our report of the proceedings will be read, we are satisfied, with the deepest interest by all classes of the community. The Attachments (Ireland) Bill, introduced by the Hon. Member for the city of Dublin, will again be brought under the consideration of the House of Commons during the present week. We have already most unequivocally declared our opinions on this iim portant subject ; and the general feeling of the commu nity ha* been as decidedly expressed. The principle of the measnre been sanctioned and approved of by all parties competentt o f orm a soun d j u d gmen t on the matter, not only within. 1 3„, 13 walls of Parliament, b u t throughout the length and "imith o f th e l an d. It is a question in which every merchant awl manu facturer, haring business transactions with any';_ oods bitant of Dublin, is m aterially interested. Through the operation of the obnoxious p supplied may be swept away on the very rocess the g day of their delivery, and the total ruin of the defendant effected. Nothing wldou remain for the defrauded creditor. The parties who put the law in motion, receive payment to the utter most farthing of what in too many instances are fictitious and unfounded claims, while the fair and bona fide creditor, residing at a distance from the spot, too late learns that the entire assets of the debtor are absorbed by the demands for which at tachments had been issued, and the enormous costs incidental to the proceedings for their recoverY. The , ordinary attachment secures the stock in trade, goods, and chattels of the defendant, while the foreign at tachment, as it is termed, seizes on the book debts and credits, if owing by parties resident within the jurisdiction of the court. Under such circumstances it would be strange indeed if great reserve and sus picion were not exhibited by English mer chants and manufacturers in all their dealings with the citizens of the Irish metropolis. The state of the law, the extraordinary powers of the Lord Mayor's Court, open a door for fraud and collusion piping which it is utterly impoi sible for the fair trader to protect himself. Any business transactions are, therefore, probably de clined, unless the most unexceptionable security be offered at the same time. Credit, the life-blood of commerce, is thus most unduly circumscribed, dis trust and suspicion usurp the place of open and unre stricted confidence, and the trade of the Irish metro polis, and consequently of the entire kingdom, is severely damaged by the unwise and impolitic law administered in the Lord Mayor's Court of the city of Dublin. But, although this flagrant nuisance had long at tracted the public attention—although numerous complaints were put forward day after day, and cases of the utmost hardship and injustice were detailed, no decided step was taken for its abatement until the Honourable Gentleman, the representative for the city of Dublin, took upon himself the duty of bringing in a measure for the total abolition of the process. No one could be more fully qualified for the duty. Although not a professional man, or deeply versed in legal subtleties, he possessed a clear head and sound judgment, and unflinching energy. His mercantile experience convinced him of the deeply injurious results of the system. With his own eyes he witnessed cases of fraud and collusion, or of deep and vindictive oppression, any one of which afforded the strongest and most satisfactory evidence against the continuance of a practice under which such gross abuses could be perpetrated. He did not long hesitate ; he did not make any vain efforts to effect any trivial alteration or petty changes, with the view of amending a system thoroughly and radically vicious ; he struck at the very root of the evil, and boldly and manfully brought forward a Bill for the total and immediate abolition of the process of attachment. All parties hailed the introduction of a measure so beneficial in every respEct, and so urgently required. The law officers of the Crown (who should themselves have long since introduced some similar enactment) ad mitted the magnitude of the evil and the propriety of the change. The Corporation of Dublin, of which Mr. REYNOLDS is :;a respected and influential member, declared their readiness to surrender any rights and . privileges that might be interfered with by the pro posed law ; the Dublin constituency expressed their unequivocal satisfaction at the conduct of their representative, who had given so striking a proof of the propriety of their choice ; and the English merchants rejoiced that they would at length be able to open commercial relations in a quarter heretofore comparatively closed against them. One obstacle alone intervened which has heretofore retarded the progress of the Bill, but which we trust will be forthwith removed. There are, as we have already stated, persons who have held the situations of Marshal and Sergeants-at-Mace for many years, and who have ever discharged their painful duties in an unexceptionable manner. They held their offices by the same tenure as the judges of the land, during good behaviour, and nothing was ever alleged against any of them to justify their removal. Numerous were the complaints against the system ; none against the individuals by whom it was carried into exe cution. They had a vested interest in certain fees, and, according to the rule invariably adopted, were entitled to fair compensation if these fees were abo lished, or in any degree lessened by legislative inter ference; many instances could be cited where ample compensation was given, not only for the lifetime of the parties, but in some cases to their families after their deaths. The public faith was never violated towards the public servants. An almost chivalrous honour was exhibited, and fair and just claims were never disre garded or set aside on any pretext,however specious, or for any purpose, however desirable. This has, perhaps, been carried to almost too great an extent, in cases of sinecures, where no duty of any kind was performed. But wherever arduous duties were discharged, where the parties acted in obedience to, and execution of the law, and had, probably, relinquished or refrained from entering on other employments for that purpose, every consideration of justice and of mercy sustained the propriety of the rule. It would, indeed, be a grievous, and, we are happy to say, ass unprecedented outrage, if a man, grown grey in the service of his country, and who, when entering on his situation, had every reason to suppose that he had obtained a pro vision for his lifetime, or at least so long as he merited protection and support, should be turned adrift in his old a g e, and when no longer capable of' directing lain itpor,"nrii,PAs tlaer qui ui ts. from _.w f_ gllege_ct realise a handsome independence. Mr. JOHN JUDRIN BUTLER has fulfilled the duties. of his station for no less than 17 years. In the year 1832 he was appointed by the then Corporation to the office of Marshal of the city of Dublin. At that period the office was of a twofold character, with two distinct classes of duties, of fees and of emoluments — the one class relating to the registrarship of pawn brokers, and the latter to the Borough Court, whose process it was the duty of the Marshal to execute. On the passing of the Municipal Corporations Act for Ireland, Mr. BUTLER was removed from his situation, which was subsequently divided into two distinct offices, viz., Marshal of the city of Dublin, and Marshal of the Borough Court. Another gentleman was appointed to the former situation, but Mr. BUTLER was reinstated in the latter office, and was, in consequence, debarred from obtaining the compensation to which he would have been, unques • tionably, entitled under the Act, if then discharged from the office. He has since discharged the duties of the situation faithfully and energetically, and it would indeed be an act of the utmost cruelty and in justice to turn- him on the world, without even the compensation to which he would have been entitled nine years ago, if then deprived of his office. Such an act would deprive a very meritorious public officer of almost the only source of income for the support of himself . , and a numerous and amiable family. The cases of Sergeants-at-Mace are almost of equal hardship. They have held their respective situations for very considerable periods, that is to say, MICHAEL WALSH 32 years, WILLIAM SMITH 19 years, and Tnomas S. RINETT 14 years, and yet they are now to be turned out without the slightest provision being made for their future wants. As we have already stated, Mr. REYNOLDS has suggested a mode by which this impediment may be removed. He proposes that certain fees should be levied in the proceedings to be substituted for the old attachments, out of which the compensation should be payable. Government guaranteeing the amount agreed upon to these parties, and taking the balance into the National Exchequer. Under any circumstances it is the duty of Government not to impede a measure of such vast utility not only to the inhabitants of Dublin, but to the entire nation. t A'few hundreds per annum for the lives of four per sons considerably advanced in years is not a matter of such importance that an act of gross injustice should be committed, or a most injurious process con tinued, to avoid the payment. Such rigorous parsi mony would strangely contrast with the profusion and extravagance manifested in other matters. NEW ELECTION /011. LONDON. -- A proposition having been made to the Lord Mayor to put himself forward as a candidate for the representation of the city of London, Sir James Duke has at once in the handsomest manner declined refusal ; AY is the acknowledged reason for his to do I s . o. His solicitude to forward the progress of Ana that refusal is the more generous, considering that the popular Lord Mayor would as a matter of co„, te be elected without opposition. As matters stoma therefore, the Baron Lionel de Rothschild is the only candid ate the suffrages of t he citizens Lon for London. His return may be re g arded as certain ; and with the. experience of the famous Clare election before us, there cannot be a moment's doubt as to the ultimate triumph of the cause at stake in the person of the great millionnaire. O n Monday next, the 2d of July, at twelve o'clock at noon precisely, the nomination will take place in Guildhall, and if necessary the poll will on the follow ing day be commenced.

TEE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. They contain the result of the debate on the foreign policy of France, which was that the Assembly passes to the order of the day pure and simple ; thus ap proving the pacific policy pursued by M. DE TOCQUE VILLE and the Ministry, by a majority of 191. This however, must net be taken as an expression of ap proval of the Ministerial policy as regards the affairs of Rome, inasmuch as the subject of Rome was not alluded to during the course of the debate. We should be almost inclined to imagine from this cautious abstinence on the part of members of all parties, that it is pretty well understood that the intention Of M. DE TOCQUEVILLE i 3 to cauti ously repair the blunders committed by his predecessor, and to oppose a firm front to the intrigues of M. DE FALLOUX. During the debate General CAVAIGNAC made the following most important speech, which may he considered as the resume of the principles of that important section of the Republican party, which, while it desires peace is prepared fur war, which, while it supports order insists also on progress : " General Cavaignac said—Since the question of Denmark and Schleswig has been alluded to, I may mention that some persons assert that by the interven tion of the French Government in that question it has reconstituted the European coalition. In the numerous o f a l a c s t s s e b d r o t h h g a h t t forwardargument a t m h e o n d g a s y before, t raets I h of secondarys( ml d have con sideration, but as so much importance appears to be attached to that intervention, I consider that it re• quires to be explained. Those of my colleagues who belonged to the Constituent Assembly are aware what reserve we observed in the discussion of our fo reign relations; but it was evident that we waited for the time when we might be permitted to seals our accounts. I am anxious at the present time to have done with some points of the past, to remove from them all obscurity, and to characterise them as they ought to be. With regard to the question of Schleswig, I thick that Denmark addressed itself to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Provisional Government; but as it had other embarrassments to attend to it would not enter on that secondary question. It was in consequence of that refusal that England was in her turn applied to. When I came into office that intervention had produced no results. Our interference was again demanded, and we sent a protest to the Central Government of Germany and to Prussia. Our solicitude had been awakened by certain pretensions of the Diet of Frankfort; Germany claimed Schleswig merely- because the inhabitants spoke German, and we protested against the claim made on such trivial grounds. When the question of the armistice was brought forward, and I was consulted on the subject, my reply was, that it was important that England should renounce the preponderating position in which she stood as mediator. I, therefore, caused an intimation to be made to the English Cabinet to that effect. The answer was, as I expected it would be, that she could not con sider her mediation as insufficient, and things therefore remained as they were. The Government of that time had been accused of having remained inactive. I admit that such was the fact, but the position in which we were placed compelled us to do so. It was not in our power to accomplish any great thing, and we were but too happy not to do mischief by attempting to do some good. I fully agree with Hon. Gentlemen who have said that a great country like France should not remain in a state of isolation. It was necessary that we should get out of that position ; it was essential that we should form an alliance with some Government, but the question was what Government should we select? To whom should we address ourselves? To Prussia—to Austria? 'I hose two powers were engaged in struggles. We then made over tures to a great power—to England, and in doing so I think we acted in conformity a ith the wishes of the con stituent Assembly. It has been said that the English Government only accepted our alliance in order to be able the better to watch us. Certainly England would not have become our ally had it not been her interest so to do; but that interest is reciprocal, and if England has an interest in watching France, France has ant quel one in watching her. That reciprocal surveillance is the basis of all alliances between Governments. In re ply to our application, England accepted our offers of alliance, and she did so doubtless from a wish to pre serve peace. I think that the explanations I have given will be a sufficient reply to the reproach made against us of having given rise to a new coalition.—(Hear, hear.) In lately presenting the order of the day which was adopted by the National Assembly, I bad a double motive. My attention was directed on the one hand to the perils which appeared to be threatened by the then existing state of things, and on the other to what was demanded by the dignity of France. The Gal lant General then stated that he bad had his part in the responsibility attached to the order t f the day voted a month since by the Constituent Assembly, and explained that, in his opinion, the danger was in the re construction of the northern powers, and in the annihi lation of French influence. It is against that twofold eventuality, continued the Hon. Gentleman, that I wished to guard the Government. I did not wish for war, and, if I am a partisan of peace, of honourable peace, it is because I am convinced that, even if all the states of Europe were in insurrection against their Governments, they would rather have returned to their former allegiance than submit to us.—(Considerable movement.) I may be mistaken, but you have just seen the repugnance evinced by Italy to accept our interven tion. You have also witnessed the diplomatic repug nomaocs Sardinia. I repeat that the nations w..01d have again thrown themselves into the arms of their e,aleeeteellezesste.as the first signal of war, and you would t civilisation in Lin'ope.:( efear, hear.) In 1792, in 1830, and in 1848 various nations were in a state of agitation. Why not leave that movement to develop itselt ? Believe me, there is in the future a more honest and solid guarantee than in ,all the efforts that could be made.—(Agitation.) I dosaot think that war would have been declared against us, but I think that when the northern powers have attained the object which they have in view, the difficulties not of war but of peace will commence for us, which will be shown not by in sult or provocation, but by coldness and isolation. That is in my opinion from whence danger is to be apprehended, and it is against that danger that I thought it proper to warn the country. By saying this I do not mean to assert that I believe in war. Are there no means belt for treating between state and state on those questions which divide them? If there are, let them be adopted; demand guarantees, seek alliances—and when you have them bring them here. Have you alliances? If you have, say so. I do not ask you to give me a reply to day, for it is not for me to show myself so pressing to wards the Government; but what I wish is that the Ministry should be warned, and that it should seek for serious guarantees and for alliances. If these cannot be found, then will commence another order of ideas, and it will be time to take counsel thereon. This is the seiutary advice which I am desirous to give to the Go vernment." The Moniteur announces that the Government of the Republic has been informed that the port of An cona has been effectually blockaded by ships of war of the Austrian navy. The Austrian Minister on noti fying officially that measur e to the French Chargé d'Affaires at Vienna added, " that the sole object of the Austrian Government is to co-operate in the re establishment of the Pontifical authority (Ancona being occupied by Austrian troops in the name of his Holiness), and that the blockade shall be raised when that object shall have been effected." The Moniteur du Soir contains the following : "A storyjehas been put into circulation at the Bourse, to the effect that the credit of 1,200,000 f , accorded by the Constituent A ssem bl y f or the expe dition to Italy, was exhausted ; that the con tractors for the army had refused to accept bills on the Treasury for the supplies they might have to make to the army ; that it was consequently necessary to demand a further credit of from 20,000,000 f. to 25,000,000 f., and to have recourse to the credit of the Bank. It is pitiable to employ such means of attack on the Government, and to display such profound ignorance of affairs. Every one ought to knew that the budget of war opens to the Government the credits necessary for the ordinary expenses of the army, and that, conse quently, if the extraordinary expenses of the army ebould become insufficient, it would not be a new credit of from 20,000,000 f. to 2.5,000,000 E which would have to be demanded for an effective force scarcely amounting to 30,000 men. It ought to be known, also, that bills on the public Treasury of France, which are paid with the most scrupulous exactitude, are everywhere received as the very best investment." Letters from Toulon of the 231 instant announce the arrival there of the steam-vessel Ariel on the preceding evening, after a short passage from Civita Vechia of 24 hours. At her departure it was an nounced that the besieging army before Rome had effected three practicable breaches, and that prepara tions were being made for the assault. In addition to the two regiments of infantry and four batteries of artillery lately shipped at Toulon for Italy, a con siderable body of troops was expected to be embarked for the same destination. Count MAMIANI, formerly Minister of Foreign Affairs to the POPE, has arrived in Paris. The object of his visit is said to be " a mission having reference to the foreign relations of Rome." The National says—" Several journals announce that the English Ambassador has presented a note to the PRESIDENT of the Republic, in which the English Government demands explanations as to what the French Government intends to do at Rome, when they shall have entered the city.

THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 1849 AUSTRIA. Accounts have been received from Vienna to the 221. It was rumoured that the united Austrian and Russian armies, under the command of Woni..GE ',aunt, had gained a victory over the Hungarians, and ert,s3ed the river March. No particulars were given. Count ZICHY, the late Governor of Venice, has been condemned to ten years' imprisonment, for having taken flight from that city last year instead of defend ing his post. ZICIIY is the brother-in-law of Prince ALETTERNICIL DENMA,RK. COPENUAGEN, JUNE 21.—The Berlinger Zeitung publishes the regulations of the Minister of Finance relative to the precautionary measures and quarantine regulations which are to be observed on the arrival of the Russian fleet. Not only must all 'passengers coming by the various steamers from Germany per form quarantine at Klampenberg, but all quarantine commissioners are charged by the Minister of Fi nance to exert the utmost vigilance that no commu nication whatever takes place between the Russian ships of the line and the inhabitants on shore until the commander shall have made a declaration, in a given form, that his vessel and crew have had no communication whatever, for five days, with any town or locality infested by the cholera. Vessels and craft of every kind are forbidden to have any communication with the Russian fleet without carrying on board with them an authorised person, who shall take care that no Russian ship be approached before the commander of the same shall have made the required declaration respecting the health of his ship's company. The Prussian steamer the Oder, which brought the dispatches of the Chamberlain RUDTZ from Berlin, via Stralsund, has gone off again, probably with the return dispatches. The state of things was still the same at Aarhuus on the 17th. This all that is known respecting the relations between Prussia and Den mai k. HADERSLEVIEN, JUNE 22,—We have at length re ceived intelligence of the advance of the troops of the empire in Jutland. The right wing, composed of Prussians, commenced their march a few days since ; the left wing, consisting of Bavarians, broke up from Scanderborg, and will go round by the west of Aarhuua to Randers. A subsequent notice states, that the Bavarians have taken possession of Aarhuus, and that the Prussians are in Randers. RiTort says that the Danes have landed in Jutland (at Varde) and intend taking the direction of holding. In Fredericia everything is in activity, and it is evident the German troops will very readily forego their re solve of taking that fortress. FLLNSBURG, JUNE 22.—Twenty Russian ships are reported to have been seen at the mouth of the har bour this morning, and several of the crews (how many is not stated) were either landed or attempted to land at Angela. Later in the day about forty ships were seen from the Dupplen batteries steering northwards. This apparition caused a lively commo tion among the men in the batteries. The Borseishalle affirms that they cannot have formed a part of the Russian fleet, since it appears from the steam-boat report that on the 15th and 16th it was still at Dagoe, and below Jutland, and the stiff west winds which have prevailed for some days would make their appearance in the waters of Schleswig very problematical, and supposes they may b, the five sail and two steamers which preceded the fleet, and which reached Copenhagen some days since. A notice from Apenrade of the 22d, states that in conse quence of the report of the appearance of 30 war ships at Alsen, several expresses have been sent off to the commanders of the German troi,ps. T A LA. Accounts have been received from Rome to the 19th. The act of Vandalism committed by OUDINOT in breaking down the aqueduct has been visited upon his own head—lke - 'water thus cut off' has formed swamps in tiWery heart of the French positions, and has thus become a magazine of malaria. About half the French army is, it is said, suffering from fever, and the prisoners who have been taken by the Romans say that the troops are almost starving. General OUDINOT has, it is said, seized a British subject, Captain KNIGHT, who was proceeding from Viterbo to Rome to join his family, and detained him in custody. The British Government will of course demand ample reparation for this insult. No reliance whatever can be placed on the state ments of the French Government : they stated that in the affair of the 3d their loss was two killed and twelve wounded, While the dead bodies of fifty French soldiers were foued in the Torre Quatre Venti alone. On the IGth titie of the French shells fell close to the Temple of Testa. In the sitVig of the National Assembly, the cor respondence between M. DE COURCELLES and the Triumvir MAzzINI was read; MAZZINI thus di-.poses of the tricky disavowal by the French Government of their Minister, M. DE LnssErs :-- "The diplomatic questwn is then thus posed between us. M. de Lesseps was Minister Plenipotentiary o France at Rume. He was such in our eyes the 31st of May as before. Nothing occurred to warn us to the contrary. We treated with him in good faith, as if we were treating with France, and this good faith cost us the occupation of Monte Mario on the night of the 28- 2,th May. Engaged in an entirely pacific discussion with M. de Lesseps, desiring to avoid everything that might precipitate minds towards a conclusion that France would initiate her mission of protection by the siege of Rome, we allowed this to pass. At each movement of troops—at each operation of detail tending to hem us in more and more, and to bring the army closer to posi tions we might have defended, M. de Lesseps lulled us by saying that nothing more was intended than to satisfy the feverish excitement of troops fatigued with immobility. Ile supplicated us, in the name of both countries and of humanity, to avoid all hostile recounters —to place full confidence in himself, and not to fear fur the consequences. We willingly yielded; and now, for my part, I repeat that I did so, not that I fear for Rome, but because brave bosoms have now to stand in place of positions which might have been defended at less cost." Here he details the circumstances of the depar ture of M DE LESSEPS, declaring that tbe, signature of the General was a mere formality with the receipt of the subsequent communications, disav&wing the treaty—the surprise of the Villa Pamfili, owing to the false security of the Romans, and proceeds : "And now, I ask, how does the dispatch of the 26th May, called, for the first time in M. de Courcelle's letter, concern us? How do the dispatches cited by General Oadinot concern the R .man Government? We never saw those dispatches, and are ignorant of their contents; they never were officially communicated to us. We have on one aide the assertions of General Oudinot, on the other those of the French Plenipotentiary. They are contradictory of each other. Let France, for sake of covering her honour, settle these contradictions the best way she can. Between a Minister Plenipotentiary and the General of an army, our Assembly ,believed that it might follow the traditional vale, and take for granted the order of facts established by the Plenipotentiary. The Assembly thought right; and I must observe that it is only this day, the tenth of the siege of Rome, that the presence of M. de Courcelles at the camp has been offi cially, and even that in an indirect manner, made known to us. Weigh the official duties, compare them with the date of the occupation of Monte Mario, and the operations of the French army, and tell me if Europe, in coldly examining them, will not be disposed to say, that the French Government aimed at tricking the Roman Go vernment—that General Oudinot had dishonourably taken advantage of the good faith of the men composing it, in order to narrow the circle of operations, and to occupy favourable positions, in order that he might sur prise the town. Either the dispatch of the 26th is not in existence, or it was not communicated in time to M. de Lesseps." Having again shown that the General must have taken advantage of the negotiations to forward his operations, while holding back dispatches alleged to be of a contrary character, he goes on to say that " The Roman Government had never deviated from the line of honour, which was more th an th e F renc h Government could say. France (he adds) has no draprau; she seeks to fire a town which has done her no wrong. And that without political programme — without avowed aim—without right, and without any mission to fulfil. She plays the part of Austria, and has not the poor courage to avow it. She drags no flag in the mire of the conciliabules of Gaeta, and shrings from a frank and clear declaration of a clerical restoration. We, on the other hand, k now f or w hat we fight, and, because we know it, feel strong." He concludes— are new " It is a melancholy page of history You a writing from France—it is a mortal blow tothePiatpisc3a, blood as which you would sustain by drowning bottomless abyss you are diggi ng between tW9ll otiono . posed for ages to tend the hand to one another—it is a ep step to the ini , reli7y et ~ur t.: tiles coulue,n diet thight to guide us, :uici holy cause of liberty which subsists by that faith. It is not Italy that will really suffer, but France—for out present suffering will prove the baptism of progress—tor France csilLot hold first rank if she abdicates the manly virtues of belief and the i n t e lli gence o f lib tr t y ." The Concordia of Turin says that the plan to seize Civiti, Vecchia was revealed to General OUDINOT by traitors. The Prince of SAVOY CARIGNAN has left Turin to attend upon his father, CHARLES ALBERT, at Oporto. MONEY and Coi'vIiVIERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 10,000 hales, including a portion for export and on speculation. Prices of American were kr!. to -id. per lb. higher; Surat and Brazil were also higher. The market closed quietly, but with firmness.--The market tur Railway Shares was not quite so good, and prices had a downward tendency. The accounts from Vienna, Berlin, Frankfort, and the other principal continental markets, again advise consi derable buoyancy in Public Securities. An arrival from Sydney again to- day furnishes advicea of the 14th March, and we have also further accounts from Geelong, Port Philip, though not later than those yesterday to hand from Melbourne. The emigrants by the St. Vincent had arrived out safe ly. Disputes having arisen between some of the settlers up the country us to tie boundary of their locations and the extent of their grszing licenses, Government Commissioners bad been appointed to decide wherever called upon by the contend ing parties. The port of Sydney was deriving con siderable benefit from the ships that touched I here, and were engaged in the new trade to California. The Port Philip accounts are vary satiafactury in reference to the trade of the colony. Last year the total exports were 675,3591. against 668 5111. in 1847. The imports were 373 6761. against 437,6961. While, therefore, the exports tor Melbourne fur 1848 exceeded those of 1847 by 64,0201. the imports were less by 6,8481., a proof that the colony is enabled to depend more on its own resources. Nothing new had transpired relative to the gold region, but several par ties were said to be in possession of lair specimens of the precious metal. A letter received this week from Curacoa, and dated the 27th ult., states :—" The latest accounts from Vene "stela state the affairs of that Republic to be in a very gloomy situation, owing to the misgovern ment that has oppressed it fur the last eighteen months. Manages has alienated the people by his tyrannical acts, some of which have struck at the root of all commercial and agricultural prosperity; and they look forward with confidence for the restoration of legal order under Paez, Throughout the country his cause is gaining constantly, and the people seem to await his arrival there to rid themselves of the Go vernment which now so oppresses them. General Paez is still at this place. Many are the reports in circulation of his leaving tor Venezuela. The United States sloop of war Germantown is now at Porto Cabello, as is reported by a Dutch man of war recently arrived from there; and the steamer Scourge is to have an entirely new trial, and the brig Mount Ver non is to be restored to the captain, with 12,000 dollars damages. " The Germantown is expected here to-day and after a short cruise to the windward will return, to weather the hurricane months. Our island has just thrown oft her mourning for the late King, tied trade is very dull." The express in anticipation of the Overland India Mail has arrived, but the letters are not yet received.

Two fashionably-dressed young men, who gave their names Benjamin and Horton, and described themselves as brothers, tivieg together upon an inde pendent property, were charged with having, with three other persons not in custody, committed an assault upon Mr. George F. Wray. of the Middle Temple, barrister, and his brother Mr. William Wray. The complainants stated that, this morning, between two and three o'cl.‘ck, they were walking up the Strand, when they were stopped by a string of five well-dressed men, amongst whom were the defendants, and who blocked up the footway from the houses to the curb, turning all who met them into the carriage road. The complainants drew close up to the shops, to allew the group to pass; but, after cries of " Pitch into them" on the part of the defendants, they were severely struck by several of the latter, and the elder Mr. Wray was knocked down, and received several kicks whilst on the grouLd. A cabman corroborated the evidence of the com plainants. The defendants said that the complainants commenced the affray, by attempting to force through them, and by striking Wm. Horton. Mr. HALL considered the case clear against them, and told them that the custom of well dressed persons going through the streets at night creating disturbances and getting up rows, must be put down. He sentenced them to pay a fine of 5/. each, or be imprisoned in the House of Correction six week.l, and kept to hard labour. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWCASTLE ON TYNE RACES.—WEDNESDAY.

ArPirt Xltittion NEWCASTLE RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) Chanticleer The Gold Cup. .. ) 1 Camphine ... 2 We understand that it is the intention of Miss Cushman, the eminent American tragedian, to return this autumn to her native land. A. sojourn of nearly five years on this side of the Atlantic, marked with the most brilliant and permanent successes, sends this gifted artist back to the scenes of her early profes sional struggles, not alone with the stamp of Euro pean fame upon her genius, universally as th a t h as been accorded, but with the warm admiration and respect of enlightened circles, who, seeking the artist, found the woman yet more worthy of homage and esteem. Miss Cushinan's family having finally settled in England, we are happy to learn Oat her stay in America will be but for a time, and *fi - cannot doubt that the warmth of her reception here, where she came unheralded and unknown, will find an echo in the cities of her native country, where the trumpet blast of fame has long enshrined her as the greatest actress of the age. Miss Cushman will be accom panied by her friend, the novelist and translator, Matilda M. Hays, from whom we shall look for fresh tidings of the New World. A TREAD -WHEELED COACH.—We have already had schemes for the complete inversion of the railway system, with wheels on the sideway and rails on the train—so that no one need now be surprised to hear of an inversion of the old jog-trot highway system, with the horses riding in the coach, while the pas sengerswheel the are harnessed to the axle.
