After two nights' elaborate discussion, the House of Commons decided yesterday by a majority of 291 to 150 that the Imperial Legislature shall NOT inter fert, with the local acts of the Canadian Government. Last evening's decision must now constitute a very remarkable Parliamentary precedent. It will always testify that in 1849 the Lower House of the Parlia ment at Westminster resolved, deliberately and calmly resolved, after a careful examination of the arguments "for" and " against"—That England would not consent to influence the policy of an elective Assembly in one of her most important co lonies ; and That England should never attempt any such arbitrary interference unless it was glaringly manifest that such interposition was positively re quired by the honour of the Crown. There are so many conclusive and wholly unan swerable reasons why the supreme Legislature hf the British Empire should arrive at this conclusion, and arrive at this conclusion alone, that we should con ceive ourselves to be perfectly justified in attributing the amendment of the Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for Stamford to factious motives, were we not as fully sati,fied that his political conscience is as honest as his statesmanlike intellect is liable to be affected in favour of any crochet however extrava gant. But that prejudice may blind and eccentricity mystify even the most keen-sighted and logical intel lects, we' should be at a loss to account for the extraordinary hallucination of so many of our legis lators in regird to a matter so clear, so vivid, so self evident as this' of the impolicy, and not only the impolicy, but the absolute injustice of any inter ference on our part with the Canadian Parliament respecting the Bill for the indemnification of losses in the rebellion. Among many other reasons, such interference would be egregiously impolitic and shamefully un- just : Because the measure in question is in itself un exceptionable ; Because it is exclusively a local operation ; Because it has been passed into a law in the most iitrictly constititutional manner—being car ried successively through both the Canadian Chambers by large majorities, thereby receiving the approval of the representatives of the Canadian population ; Because Upper Canada having already received in demnification for losses sustained during the rebellion, Lower Canada was surely entitled to share in a simi lar advantage. Because, moreover, the hostility evinced towards the Bill has not only been clearly the re venge f u l hos tility of the minority , bu t thAt minority has still fur ther damaged its already dilapidated reputation by resorting to the most unconstitutional measures of opposition, or rather of retaliation, namely, to riot in the streets, to a violation of the dignity of the Parliament, to the most dastardly acts of incen diarism ; am], lastly, Because any such proceeding on the part of the * " The Crisis in Canada; or, Vindication of Lord Elgin and his Cabinet, &c."

Richardson, Loudon, 1849. mother country towards her North Amf?rican depen dencies would be calculated to g ive rise to a grievous, and possibly to a dangerous ill-feeling, inasmuch as it would show the Canadians that England is disposed to interfere with the great principle of responsible government. For these, and various other reasons as powerful and incontrovertible, in a logical, political, adminis trative, moral, and legislative point of view, we are more than rejoiced, we are relieved of a thousand heavy anxieties by the result of the division last evening in the British House of Commons. Not that we doubted for one instant that the real states men of E-gland would hesitate as to the course to be adopted; but that we dreaded lest, by some unhappy fortuitous circumstance, the Commons might be tricked into the appearance of subservience, even for one minute, to the wishes of a handful of bankrupt insu -gents. If any one consideration were wanting to satisfy the mind that the Cabinet and their supporters in the Lower House have been actuated by other than the wisest motives, it would be found in the remark uttered last night by Sir ROBERT PEEL. that, accord. ing to the declaration of Lord ELGIN, the assurance of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and the legal opinion of the ATTOENEYtrENERAL, the same test will be applied in Lower Canada which had been used in Upper Canada. This consideration is, of itself, a sufficient assurance that the Bill is, per se, unexceptionable. As to those subtle distinctions which it is pro posed by Mr. HERRIES and bis supporters should be introduced as an emendation into the measure, they may be talked about very fluently, and may appear all very practicable and feasible in the shallow reason ings of a practitioner of the Arches' Court, but we should marvellously like to see them reduced to writing, either by the representative of Stamford, or by the representative of Cardiff. And, what is still more, we should like exceedingly to witness the felicitous working of any measure so delicately and even gingerly cobbled. Amidst all the confused, and contradictory, and vo ciferous reasons advanced by, the sympathisers with Sir ALLAN M'NAB and his "fellows," there is one which strikes us as being altogether such a barefaced and impudent absurdity, that we wonder amazingly that it has not hitherto fallen under the lash of criticism either from one of our contemporaries or from one of the Members of the Legislature. It is this : The persons who pronounce the Indemnity Bill to be one wrongfully forced upon the Canadians, men who are perpetually trying to ferret out something or other with which to badger that most unfortunate of all the Ministers, the Right Hon. the Colonial Secretary—these admirers of Sir ALLAN M‘NAR and followers of Mr. HERMES declare the Bill to have emanated from the English Government, and at the same time stigmatise it as a gross and flagrant in sult offered to the English SOVEREIGN. Now the perfect extravagance of this is so plain and glaring, that we are absolutely astounded how any men at all pretending to the character of politicians can have the hardihood to stand up in the House of Commons and write themselves down so very deliberately brothers-in-spirit of Signor DOG 131.1tRY. The pertinacity with which they insist upon it that the Indemnity Bill is a Govern ment measure, and at the same moment assert that it is an intended insult to the British Crown, is only comparable in its exqui site stupidity to the anxiety of D,GBERRY to be written down an ass. " 0 that he were here to write me down an ass ! Yet, though he be not here, don't forget, neihbdurs, that I am an ass !" Those who may be anxious to satisfy themselves from first to last of the honourable and perfectly constitutional conduct of Lord ELGIN, of the Canadian Parliament, and of the English Government, in this important matter, will find the whole of the occurrences related in an admirably sequential form in a pamphlet recently produced by ALEXANDER MACKAY, Esq , of the Inner Temple ;* and should the readers, after a perusal of that clever and spirited brochure, be desirous of confirming them selves still further in their opinions upon the subject, they will find all further difficulties to so doing re moved by another pamphlet (Mr. HART'S t) of singular ability. The recent regulation adopted by order of the Commander-in-Chief for the examination of can didates for commissions in the army will come into operation on the lit of July next. It is a wise and judicious movement in the right direction, from which we anticipate the happiest results. Hitherto there has been a culpable negligence exhibited as to the education of military officers, which contrasted strongly with the care and attention devoted to the same subject in the continental armies. In this country no qualification whatsoever was required. Boys were appointed to commissions without the slightest inquiry being made as to their previous at tainments. They right have received a tolerably sound education, or they might be lamentably defi cient in the ordinary branches of learning that are considered indispensable for a person occupying a respectable position in society ; no trial was adopted to test their capabilities—all was left to chance or accident. Hence it followed that, although we had many highly accomplished officers in every regiment, there were others who never could retrieve their early deficiencies. It could scarcely be anticipated,that a mere youth, just emancipated from the thraldom of a Public school or of private tuition, would voluntarily undertake the drudgery of acquiring the rudiments of a lar.guage or science previously unknown. With rare exceptions, these acquirements are only attainable under the control and direction of a master who can compel attendance upon his lectures. They will not be attempted by a young man whose time ij wholly at his own disposal, save so far as it may be occupied in the ordinary routine of military duty. The first difficul ties interpose almost insuperable obstacles, and should an effort be made, it is speedily abandoned in disgust, and those idle and lounging habits are adopted so in jurious to the officer himself, and so demoralising to the soldiers, who will naturally follow the examples afforded by those under whose command they are placed, rather than the advice of some few of their companions, who may desire to improve their minds, and to render themselves properly qualified for pro motion. _____ Hence it is that the cigar and billiard-room are so eagerly sought after by the one class—the pipe and the canteen by the other, the only object with both being to "kill the time " which they are unable to spend in profitable and useful pursuits. In France matters are managed very dif ferently. There are a number of military schools throughout the entire country, in which those desirous of attaining military rank receive a sound practical education suited to the situations in which they may subsequently be placed. No person e s t a u n d ireedc at iv t. e . e a o c f o t m h e mis s io sesc n h 0 o wh l s,o or r a d g i vneont evidencep re vi ()us l o y i his fitness during service as a private soldier. Every officer has consequently a competent knowledge of his professional duties, and is fully qualified for any e mergency in which he may be placed. All those who have been educated for the service are masters of two or three modern languages, and thus, according to the dictum of FREDERICK the GREAT, each person is equivalent to two or three who can only under stand their native tongue. Henceforward, however, there will be a total al teration in the system. From and after the Ist of July next no per-on will be recommended for a commission in the British service until they have been examined by competent persons, appointed by the Commander-in-Chief, in the ordinary branches of polite education, and unless they have shown a competent knowledge of English literature, of arith metic, history, geography, fortification, and also of Latin, French, and German. The latter are parti cularly valuable. Formerly but little attention was paid to the acquisition of modern languages, but of late years French and German have been regarded as essential branches in the education of every gentleman. A mutual intercourse between nations is becoming every day more general ; our commercial relations are becoming more extended, and in a short time English gentlemen will blush to confess themselves unable to address the French or German visitor in his native tongue. During the recent visit of the National Guards to London how many hung back ashamed to exhibit the ignorance, which, for the moment, was unaffectedly deplored ? How many are there unable to avail themselves of a trip to the continent from the same cause, and who cat not enjoy what would otherwise be a delightful recreation, from inability to make themselves understood by the inha bitants of the country in which they may be sojourn ing for the moment. Now that a knowledge of French and German will be required from every officer in the army an additional inducement will be sup plied to others to learn these languages practically and efficiently. Many are beginning to avail themselves of the advantages afforded by a continental education, where these languages can be almost imperceptibly acquired without any neglect of other branches of learning, and where the true tone and accent can alone be attained. Many well-qualified persons are now taking pupils in some of the German towns, where peculiar facilities exist for imparting sound instruction to the rising genera. tion. A reference to our advertising columns will show an unexceptionable instance. We doubt not that such opportunities will be anxiously sought after, and that those who have the means will gladly afford their children the benefits of a short residence in " the Fatherland." NIE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The PRESIDENT and his advisers have followed up their coup d'etat with a high hand. They have adopted the simple plan of completely silencing their opponents by seizing all the opposition journals, with the exception of the National, and of arresting the opposition Deputies en masse. It behoves us, therefore, to be exceedingly cautious in crediting the statements which appear in the Paris journals, as they are necessarily one-sided. The following are extracts from some of the Ministerial journals : " An attempt was to have been made by the insur gents to seize the person of Louis Napoleon. "The exact account of the treatment of M. Lacrosse, the Minister of Public Works, by the mob, is this :—He was seized, separated from the officers who had accompanied him, and menaeed unless he shouted Vice la constitution! and Vice la Re publique Romaine! The Minister held firm to the last, kept his hat on his head, and refused to join in the cry. He was torn from his horse, his clothes rent to tatters, and in all probability he would have been murdered but for he interference of M. Etienne Arago. " The conspirators, it would seem, had actually drawn up a list of their Ministry. It is said that Sergeant Boichot was to have been named Minister at War in the new Government of the Convention. " As to the rumoured escape of Ledru Rollin to Belgium, another report is prevalent. It is said that when' the soldiers entered the Conservatoire, and the conspirators made a precipitate escape by jumping through the winthm s, Ledru hat was found on the table, with the forage-cap of Sergeant Rattier. The former is supposed to have absconded in the direction of Lyons; if so, he is probably the repre sentative referred to by M. Dufaure, when addressing the Chamber." The following is a rather striking account of the reception given to Louis NAPOLEON and General CHANGARNIER, by the people on Wednesday : "It wanted a few minutes to 5 o'clock P. 31 yesterday when the Presid. nt of the Republic mate his appear. ance at the head of a crowd of generals, amongst whom were General Changarnier and General Castilon, on the Boulevards. He proceeded to the Place de Bastille,. traversed the! Faubourg St. Antoine, and returned to the Elysees by the rue Rivoli. He was receivi d everywhere with marks of the greatest enthusiasm. But it was General Chau gamier to whom, during his first visits, that the most enthusiastic affection was exhibited. I never beheld anything to surpass the burst of enthusiasm with which he was hailed. Young and old, women and boys, ran up to him and grasped his hand, and from the windows along the Boulevards you saw handkerchiefs and hats waving to welcome the man on whose skill, energy. and most admirable moderation the safety of Paris depended. As the dragoons galloped past the Boulevard des Italiens, about six o'clock, I distinctly heard many of them shout Vive Napoleon 1 Vice 'Em pereur ! as they stood up in their stirrups, and waved eh, it swords over their heads." The Red Republican journals which have been stopped from further publication, were six in number, viz., the Potpie, the Tribune des Peuples, the Re forme, the Democratie Pacifique, the Republique, and the Vraie Republique. The manner in which these journals were stopped is most disgraceful to that party which has arro gated to itself, how justly let its conduct in this instance testify, the title of the party of order and of moderation. Same persons belonging to the first legion of the National Guards of Paris (this legion is composed exclusively of the aris tocratic portion of society, who reside in the Bel gravia of Paris), entered the establishment of M. PROUX, who is one of the largest printers in Paris, and wha prints among other things several journals with the politics of which he of course has nothing to do, and broke his presses, scattered his types, and destroyed his property. in consequence of this wan ton conduct on the part of these refined frequenters of the salons of the Elysee, M. Pa , ,ux is ruined, and sixty persons are thrown out of employment. The same persons then proceeded to the printing establishment of M. Boule, Rue Coq Heron, whi c h they completely gutted, destroying types, furniture, fixtures, in fact everything but the bare walls. By this act of destruction 200 workmen are thrown out of employment. The Siecle, in relating these dis graceful transactions, recalls the attention of its readers to the fact that during the two revolutionary months of 18441, under the administration of the Pro. visional GOveriiinent, when there were In Paris neither regular troops nor an organized 'police, and when the people armed were masters in the streets, no such atrocious invasions of the rights of _property occurred. This brutal impatience of contradiction, this savage hatred of intellect, which goes to the length of destroying even those material instruments which are used for diffusing its inspirations, is, it apps ars, the exclusive characteristic of the gets comme it flout. In the National Assembly on Thursday the autho risation demanded for the prosecution of MM LEDRU ROLLIN, VICTOR CONSIDERANT, BOICEIOT, and RATTIER was granted, and in applying for it M. GRANDIN, the Attorney-General, was guilty of an act which goes far to prove that the so called insurrection was mainly a "got up" affair—a successful 29th of January. In moving for the au thorization, M. GRANDIN produced a placard, which he stated had been posted in the neighbourhood of the Conservatoire of the Arts et Metiers during the time the Mountain was sitting there, and which was signed by 120 members of the Mountain, against whom he stated that he reserved to himself the right of presenting a requisition at a future opportunity. He then proceeded to read the names attached to tins placard, and several members of the Mountain who were present, and whose names appeared affixed to it, denied all knowledge of its existence, and stated that not only had they never affixed their names to it, but that they had never authorised any person to make use of their names in any such manner. Hereupon extreme agitation arose in the Assembly, and some of the more zealous supporters of the Ministry gave us a pep of what was going on behind the scenes, by exclaiming, " You signed the act of accusation against the PRESIDENT—it is just as bad as the placard." This is the key to the enigma. 'The Government has determined to crush all those who wish to oppose its Cossack predilections, and the President BONA PARTE has been too long the intimate of the Eng lish Tory aristocracy not to be well instructed in the traditions of the SIDMOUTIi regime. There can be but little doubt that this placard is an infamous forgery—no one appears to have seen it save M. GRANDIN, who, as was aptly observed by M. VERSIGNY, seems to perfectly understand that burn,"Balcalumnyt said t h at dau : like tnomdf which although, c hi Deohlu o Lg a ho h l eN, will (.e;u blacken,B AßßOTg A N even pushed bI had GRANDIN) hpeeur o thatdo i ur f gc it nd awi point, l o l l i tcopy,nothhee yet when M. ODILON BARROT was subsequently ap pealed to, he deniei that such was the case. General CA VAIGNAC, i n indignant terms,. declared that it was most unjust in the Attorney-General to read the names, unless he was prepared to move an accusation. The Assembly then retired to its bu reaux to consider the proposition for leave to prose cute LEDRU ROLLIN and his companions. They re assembled at five o'clock. The following is a report of what took place after the presentation of the report, recommending that the authorisation should be granted n is de f d rie t n b d e s y u e h a ig rs i se d d efe h cause of pacific democracy, and whose name would ont- Co M ns . id T e 3 i in an is t, ie w r who 0 0s h e out live tie laws and acts of the present time. ad an t d Or w t a w rin en ly ty the tribune to defend Louis Blanc, he - 1 .. 1t, alarmed to the . cou country.

Remove the causes of that misery, and they would be less disposed to listen to tilt voice of agitators. If M. ladru Hulliu and M. Considerant were present they would not require him to speak in their defence, but there were two other obscure individuals, M. Boichot and M. Rattier, who could not defend th.rnsPlves. There was now an oppor tunity for the Government to acquire the greatest and most deep rooted popularity, and that was by acting with wisdom, moderation, and justice._ The President—lf no one further demands to speak I shall proceed to put the conclusions of the Committee to gs against MAL a d u , t r h a o n r t i , s ß e ()picric; o ce t, ed an in d Rattier. the ed rvuo t ioll nCo e t —i 9tonsi The Assembly, being consulted', decided the ques tion affirmatively. The whole of the Right and Centre stood up in favour of the authorisation ; three Mem bers of the Left only stood up on the other side—the lest abstaining. M. Mathey said that there was a short mode of put• ting a stop to the protests of the Membf rs on that side of the Assembly; end that was for M. 0. Barrot to pro duce the original, which, in his bur. au, he had said was in his possession. (The lion. Member made a negative gesture.) If the original was possessed by the Govern. ment, by what right did any one call on them to give ex planations in the tribune? M. Rolland said that Government ought to bring for ward acts, and not proceed on mere conjectures. If it was an act of j ustice that was intended, documents and facts ought to b.e produced; if it was a blow that was to be struck, he was rPody to receive it.—(Agiql.tion.) M. Arnaud (du Var) declared that his name had been affixed to the placard so frequently alluded to without his authorisation. lie was not in the habit of signing such documents. _ _ _ The Minister of the Interior—l have just presented to the Assembly a Bill of which I beg permission to read the expose des motifs. The Hon. Minister he•re read the expose which stated that the violence of the language made use of in the clubs and other political meetings was such that the Government was compelled to demand to have the power of preventing it. It was only required for one year, and would only be used to strength e n th e Republic and the Constitution. The Bill, continued the Hon. Minister, is as follows: " Art 1. The Government is authorised for one year, from the date of the promulgatin of the present law, to interdict any clubs or political meeting s of a na t ure t o disturb public tranquillity. " Art. 2. An account shall be rendered by the Go vernment at the end of the year of the manner in which the law has been executed." M. Cremieux said he feared the Government was going too fast. He demanded that the report should be printed and distributed, agre,ably to the regulations of the Assembly, which were binding on all.—(Murmurs.) The President here read Art. 62 of the regulations, which states that the Assembly was authorised to order the immediate reference to the bureaux, and to carry out a motion of urgency. Tne Assembly. on being consulted, decided on the urgency of the measure. The President—What day will the Assembly fix for its examination in the bureaux? Several Voices—To-morrow at noon. 6' M. Buuzat, addressing his colleagues on the Left—Let us not vote. Almost all the Assembly rose in favour of its being fixed for the next day. The President—The examination in the bureaux will accordingly take place to-morrow at noon. Our readers doubtless recollect the fanfarronade of General CtIANGARNIER'S report to the Assembly on the subject of barricades, and his assertion that several had been erected in various parts of Paris. That assertion is now proved to be utterly without foundation. He mentions three barricades opposite the Cafe de Paris, near the Passage de l'Opera, and at the entrance of the Faubourg Poissonniere. All who know Paris know that at these parts of the Boulevards there are always to be found persons having chairs to let to those who may be desirous of sitting down and resting themselves. These chairs are, when not occupied, kept piled up, and it was these three piles of rush-bottomed chairs, which that " brave supporter of the cause of order" has magnified into thre:• barricades. But ►he poor man must do something to earn his marshal's baton, the dispersion of an unarmed assembly would not be sufficient to entitle him to seek a reward even under the present regime, and therefore he valiantly attacked three dozen rush bottomed chairs with three regiments of soldiers, and boasts that he has carried three barricade. We ate curious to see the returns of killed and wounded in the late formidable insur rection ! Our readers doubtless relollect that it was stated that the artillery of the National Guards were prepared to join the insurgents, that Colonel GIaNARD had convoked them for that purpose, and that Colonel GUINARD had been placed under arrest. Such was the veracious statements of the Constitutionnel, to which journal Colonel GUINARD has addressed the following letter : "Monsieur le Rdactuer, —I read in your journal that the legion of the artillery of the National Guard met on Wednesday morning without being regularly convoked in virtue of the initiative of its commanding officers. This is an error. The colonel of the artillery legion re ceived, on the 13 h, at a quarter-past 9, from the cotn• mander of the National Guard of the Seine, an order to us,emble that Legion in the garden of the Pulais Na tional, its ordinary place of meeting. Directions were at once given to have the order executed. I will not point out many other inexactitudes contained in your journal; I shall only say that the conduct of the artillery legion was on Wt-dnesulay as in all others, when public ol der was troub:c,l in our great city, perfectly honourable. Respecting the laws of discipline, it acted only acc, , rding to our instructions and our orders, for which I ain read) to answer before the country. We live in difficult times, when adversaries ought to show, at least, good faith to each other." Again the reactionariesloudly declared that AL BAS• TIDE was atnongst the insurgents. In coast quence of this malicious assertion M. BAstine has addressed the following letter to the Assemblee Nationale:— , Monsieur,—You say in yesterday's paper :—' M. Etienne Arago, arm in arm with M. B as fid e , was at t h e head of the column of rioters. They mado their escape by the Rue Basse du Rempart.' These lines con t a i n some inexactitudes which it is important to rectify. I did not give my'arams not th at the ewhle he o a f d i:f e t s h tP e r c ty um t n o , b N u l t . Etienne Arago; I was iniong.:t the citizins who were procet ding to the Presi dent of the National Assembly. When the column was arrested I did not escape by the Rue Basse du Refnpart, but I entered the Hotel of Foreign Affairs. I have to add that I was not at the head of the rioters. for a very simple reason, that there were no rioters.

I appeal to your justice to give this rectification in your next number. " 'RYLES BASTIDE." The Siecle has the following very judicious obser vations on the late events ; and, considering that the Siecle is the organ of M. Durauae, we y e t h o p e th a t the PRESIDENT may be induced t o re enter t h e pat h. of legality. The Steele says— " Order and tranquillity are re-established in Paris. Thanks to the moderate attitude of a part of the National Guard and of the troops, the men who had conceived the criminal idea of plunging us into the horr o r s o f c i v il war have seen what an infinitesimal minoi ity they form in the couniry - ; they failed yesterd a y, an d to - morrow the i r failure would be still more signal. Oar un ortuiqtte country requires more than anything else to have its still bleeding wounds dressed; it thirsts for order and peace. But let us not endeavour to deceive ourselves us to the idea which produced this energetic and instanta neous represion; let not the Government blind itself to the innate feelings of those who were the first to lend their cooperation to re-establish order, or rather to prevent its being disturbed. In presence of a great public danger, convictions may be silenced, but they are not abandoned. The Government would be vet.) blind, if it did not discover the abyss which . exists be ..ween approvi ng p as t con duct and lending aid and co operation to guarantee public peace. Besides, yester day, the new men who are in power, the men who honestly wish for the Constitution and the Republic, had a fine mission to fulfil. After having sufficiently proved that society could not find more zealous defenders, it remains to them to prove to the people that its interests, its rights, and its legitimate wants do not inspire them with less zeal or less devotedness." The people of France are far, very far, from ap proving the past conduct of the Ministry, in regard to the iniquitous expedition against Rome—an expe dition contrary to policy, contrary to humanity, con trary to justice—an expedition which is, in a political point of view, worse than a crime, because it is a mistake, and if the PRESIDENT wishes to regain the good opinion of the people of France he should dis miss from his councils the men who advised that piratical expedition. M. LONGEPIED, the Commissary Extraordinary of M. LEDRU Itommr, whose name has been so often before the public, was arrested yesterday. It was rumoured that M. Ltnnu RoLLIN had been arrested, but no great credit was attached to the report. THREI3E 0 0 F c li t S oc t .L .P I A . R h I e S, F F r R en ID ch AY F . J in U id N s E 15 n rise to-day.

The Gageta publishes the following decree of amnesty : " ROYAL DECREE. "Taking into consideration what my Council of Minibb-rs have exposed to me, I hereby decree the fol lowing:— "Art. I. A complete amnesty, general and without exception, is conceded with respect to all political acts anterior to the publication of the present royal decree. " Art. 2. In order to enjoy this benefit, those who may desire to do so must present themselves to the competent authorities within the precise term of a month, reckoning from the date of this d ecree . In the colonies and in foreign parts, the term shill be reckoned from its pub lication by the authorities, and the legations or consul.ttei of Spain. " Art. 3.

The Bavarian papers publish a royal proclamation of the 10th inst., dissolving the Bavarian Diet. The Algemeine Zeitung makes a positive contradiction of the late news, which wont the round of the German papers, of Bavaria having asked for the Prussian in tervention in the itheinplalz. AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Constitutionelle Zeitung sta.es that M. Kos sum nas held a grand rev.ew at Pesth, on which occasion he distributed medals to the bravest of his hussars and hotivetis. We learn from the same paper, that no battle has as yet taken place in the north-west of Hungary. The Russians left but four thousand men at Presburg ; their other troops have marched to Oedenburg. It ap pears from official Austrian documents that the general attack has again been put off to the end of the present month. The cholera and a fearful disease which is known by the name of" war pestilence" are doing their work in the Russian and Hungarian camps. _ The position of the Hungarian General, KLAPKA, is still at Raab. GEORGEY advances by Komorn, and General A utica has moved his troops to the south east by Papa. It is said that the Magyars have defeated the Russians at Oldenburg and have taken that city. The Hussars, which of late fled from the Imperial standard to join their countrymen in Hungary, have in part succeeded in crossing the Hungarian frontier, but one of their divisions was in imminent peril of being captured, near Bruck on the Lay tha. General W.ELDEri is recovering from his fit of apoplexy. THE DANISH WAR. HAMBURGII, JUNE 12.--Accounts from Hors.ens, of the 10th, are, that on the previous nigkt, Lieu• tt , nants Blumenstein aud Batundach, and a surgeon, Dr. Honig, with 66 Hessian Hussars, who were on a foraging party near Norre Sound, had been sur prised by the Danes and taken prisoners ; only nine of the party had escsped. Another account, in the Borsenhalle, says that there was a captain taken also, and adds, " we do not think ourselves at liberty to communicate the reports as to this disgraceful capture, as they are of a nature that would only place the affair in a more hateful light." COPENHAGEN, JUNE 11 —Official reports state that on the 6th, in the evening, a slight engagement took pine before Frediricis, when the German troops were repulsed in an advance towards the fortress. On the 7th, only a few shells had been thrown into the town, doing but little damage. The official account from Alsen says that, on the 6th, the firing from the batteries of both parties cnn - tinned until seven in the evening, and that then the skirmishers continued firing until ten, when the Danes, having gained some grounds, were enabled to advance their line of outposts on their right. Our loss was small - but the Crt-rman batteries fired upon the town of Sonderburg, and damaged several houses, and wounded two inhabitants. 1 T A L Y. The intelligence from home is to the Bth. Then , had been much fighting, but General OUDINOT had not been enabled to advance one step towards effecting au entrance into the city, lie had not above six or eight guns in position, and his forces were suffering considerably from the continued sorties of the legion under the command of GARIBALDI. The Milan Gazette states the following from Sini gaglia of the 7th :—'‘ A French courier, who has come from Marseilles and landed at Leghorn, has brought the intelligence that the French Govern ment acknowledges the Austrian army to have perfect freedom to act in these parts, and especially against Ancona; while the French army will limit its opera tion to act energetically on the 'fiber." The Lucca Gazette states that, by a Grand Ducal decree, dated Naples 2, all the soldiers who followed General DE LANGIE4 from Massa into Piedmont, shall receive a silver rhedal ; and all those who went over to him afterwards shall receive a bronze one. • The Risorgimenio of Turin publishes a notifica tion of General. GORZKOWSKI, dated Villa Spada (Bologna), June 5, explaining what crimes or mis demeanours are judged by miiitary law. Militaryilaw is applied either by giudizio statario or court-martial. The former only pronounces death, and judges high treason, detention of arms, revolt, and such like ; the later takes cognizance of the diffusion of revo lutionary writings, singing of revolutionary songs, political demonstrations, disobedience, &c., &c., and may pronounce fine and imprisonment ad libitum: All other transgressions are to be judged by the ordinary tribunals. The Piedinontese Gazette of the 11th announces that the King of SARDINIA is rapidly recovering. The following is a copy of a dispatch from Toulon : " Advices have been received from Rome to the 9th. At that date the French troops were masters of all the r sitions taken by them on the 3d, and part of which had been retaken by the Romans. The,fighting lasted three days; the loss of life on both aides was consider able. " Gencral Oudinot hqs decided on getting possession of F-rt St. Ange; the works are already advanced to within 600 yards of the fort. _ "The French suffered much from the intense heat, which had brought on a violent dysentery." CABINET COUNCIL (THIS DAY.)—The Ministers assembled at the Foreign office, Downing-street, this afternoon, at two o'clock. The Lord Chancellor was unable to join his colleagues from continued indispo sisition. The Noble and Learned Baron is !Owed to, day to be somewhat better, and nothing definitive, it is understood, has been settled by the Cabinet res pecting the Great Seal being put into commission.

Covers ware laid for 210. HOTEL AND TAVERN-KEEPERS, &C.—A petition to the House of Commons, from a great number of persons connected with the trade of hotel and tavern-keepers, pray ing for a removal, or at least an amelioration, of the burdens of taxati(li which more immediately affect them, was presented by Mr. Masterman last night. The petitioners, who appear to be well a'quainted with their own grievances, have set them forth at considerable length. They complain of the injuries inflicted upon their trade by the transit of railroads ; that few or no persons remain at inns on the road, and that, in conse quence, the burdens of taxation, which were originally b.,rne without murmuring, are now become so heavy as to compel them to apply to the Legislature for relief. They set forth the large sums embarked in the business of which they are members, and claim, on account of their property and position in life, a hearing of their arguments and attention to their importance.

(sit , ii, w s at Nisi Frills.) STRUTT V. WHITCOMBE, HELPS, AND co. This awi,t) brought by Mr. Strutt, a solicitor, in the Adelphi, and formerly the proprietor of the Bucks Herald, to recover the sum of 301. from the defendants, who are solicitors at Gloucester. It appeared that the defendants were solicitors during the railway mania to a projected dock at Gloucester, and in that capacity di rected the insertion of an advertisement (a Parliamen tary notic , ) relating thereto in the newspaper of the plaintiff; for which he charged ls. a line or 301. alto gether. The daily newspapers charged Is. and Is.3d. a litre. Mr. Newton, Mr. William Thomas, of Catherine street, and Farrant, advertisement *Tents, proved that Is. a line was the usual charge at the time In question. Several of the newspaper proprietors at that time, and the plaintiff was me of the nun:ber, agreed to increase their charges in consrquence of the publication of sup plements and other additional expenses. They had re p-utedly paid for advt rtisements during the mania at tl. at rate. The defence was that the defendants were merely agents to principals ; that the charge was ex orbitant, a number of ether papers being charged 12/4 101., 141., and 161. for the same advertisement, of which evidence was adduced to show. They had tendered 161., and had now paid that sum into court. - The jury found a verdict for the defendants, to th e surprise of many in the court. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the LORD CHIEF 13.isoN and a Common Jury.) CONN V. BICKNELL. The trial of this case, which occupied a portion of yesterday, was resumed to-day. The plaintiff is a builder, and the defendant is s bar rister, re,ichi gat Kilburn, and he had employed the plaintiff to erect certain buildings for him at Priory" place, Kilburn, and the action was brought to recover the balance which the plaintiff alleged was due to bidh in respect of the work he had done. Mr. COCKBURN, for the defendant, alleged that the plaintiff' had been guilty of misconduct, and that this case was nothing but a conspiracy to defraud the defers' dant. He then R ent into the state of accounts between the parties, and h av i ng p rove d b y means o f c h eque s and the evidence of the deteedant's brother, that the plain' tiff's claims had been fully satisfied, Mr. MARTIN. who appeared for the plaintiff, intimated that he was unable to pi-cep, d further with the defence and must therefore consent to a verdict for the defendan t A verdict for the defendant, was acc;)rdingly returned/ CRIMINAL COURT---(THIs DA OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) MANSLAUGUTER.—A middle-aged man, named Thos., Graves, surrendered to t a k e hi s tr i a l, on a c h a rge o f having killed and slain William Pent, aged 76. Mr. Clarkson prosecuted, and Mr. Bodkin defended the prisoner. The widow of the deceased deposed that on the 17th of May her late husband, about six o'clock in the even ing, came to his home in King's-cross, King's rol d t end threw himself on a bed, remarking that he was veil bad. She immediately went for Mr. Pratt, a surgeon, and he directed her to take him to the North London Hospital, which 'she did the same evening. He was a navigator, and had been out of work six weeks. John Wilford, a cowkeeper in Upper Holloway, sai d on the 17th of May he was near the Half-moon public: house of that place, when he saw Graves fighting with apparently a very old, but yet a very active man , who seemed to havo the best of it et first. he T washere were about four round s , w h en t h e o ld man saidveryweak, weak, and would not fi g ht any l onger. He had s i nce seen the body of the deceased, and he bent-red that was the night the prisoner fought with deceased. Mr. Billing, publican at Hullowav, corroborated the evid: nce of the previous witness, and added that he saw the pri,oner go up to the deceased and chuck a hand kerchief in his face, which the deceased put in his pocket, and then the prisoner struck him, which ultimately led to the fight. The prisoner was drunk at the time, an d he believe d he had nev e r s een th e d ecease d b e f ore . Th e old man did not app ar to be drunk at the close of the fight . ; the deceased washe d himselt and returned to London. Mr. Filliter, a surge on, proved the cause of death to be injury done to his bowels, in consequence of a blow which he must have received. Mr. BODKIN then addressed the jury for the defence, cont. ndiog that the evidence faikd to make out th e charge against the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was then discharged. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The grand spectacle of Median and Goojerat, fol lowed by the scenes in the circle, continues to attract crowded audiences to this favourite place of amusement; The graceful and unrivalled equestrian performance 3 . ot f- Marie Macarte Continue't6 excite the delight and admi ration of all who witmss then], and she is rewarded nightly by the most rapturems applause. She richlY merits the title which our trans-Atlantic brethren have conterred on her—of the Equestrian Enchantress. The performances of Madlle. Hinnie and of Mr. John Bridges are also exceedingly graces ul and wonderful. With:such attractions we are not surprised to find that the house is crowded. BATTY'S CIRCUS.—Quite a sensation was occasioned here last week by the pr.( sence, for four days, of Batty' troop of elm stt tan per formers, clowns, and " acrobats. They made a grand entrance, as mentioned in our last when eJ. Tournaire drove through the streets eight fine horses in-haed, followed by a number of p( riormers mounted and iiehly dressed—Mr. Jackson, the matitv 4 er, bringing up the rear in a miniature pliazon, drawn by four beau: titul piebald ponies. At the horse-market the circus had been erected in the forenoon—a roomy erection, co verea, with canv z .s s , li g ht e d w i t h porta bl e gas, and capable of holding, perhap s , e i g ht een or nineteen undred persons. On Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, morn' ing and evening, performances took place —on the latter day under the patronage of the Provost and Magistrate s and of Col. Findlay and officers of Fort-George. The day performarces were fashionably attended; and on the first three evenings the circus was crowded nightly in every part. The number of visitors was perfectly asto nishing. There could nut have been less than from 1,600 to 1,800 present each evening ; and, cheered by audiences so large, the entertain ments passed off in the happiest manner. Mr. T. Powell performed several splendid acts of horsemanship, astonishing the audience at once by the agility, daring, and grace of his feats. Mr. Adams represented, on horseback, a series of characters, but his changes were not accomplished with anything like the rapidity shown by that veteran of the arena, Mr. Ord. Messrs. Jackson and Nichols, as clowns, exerted themselves indefatigably to please, and succeeded in drawing rounds of laughter. Jackson's neck cachucha, his ancient and modern qua drilles, his extraordinary violin playing, and his jokes; and Nichol's feats of balancing and his conundrums , occasioned much amusement. The performances of the American brothers we're really wonderful—so were the accomplishments of M. Tournaire's steeds and of the dog Venture. But it is needless to point out parts of the entertainment. As a whole, it was a treat perhaps never before equalled here. The company lett Inverness on Saturday night for the south, by the Highland road. Oa that day M. Tournaire astonished the p• ople by driving fotu teen horses-in-hand through the principal streets, iollovred by the manager in his little vehicle, drivieg,hie four ponies in line.—lnverness Courier.
