The attention of manufacturers and others, whose business renders necessary the use of furnaces for the heating of stationary steam-engine boilers, should be directed while there is yet time to the vexations provisions of the " Smoke Prohibition Bill," which, after being brought down from the House . of Lords, was read a second time in the Commons ornlVednes day last. They little know the annoyances and ex penses to which they will be subjected if the measure should unfortunately pass into law in its present form. No adequate reason can Le assigned for the passing of this mischievous interference with the busi ness of a lare'e and influential body ofpersons, whoafford more constant; employment to the labouring classes, than any others of equal number in the entire com munity. It cannot be shown that the opaque smoke, which is "not to be permitted to issue from the chimney of any furnace for any longer time than is bona fide necessary for the kindling of the fire of such furnace," is in any degree injurious to the public health. If such were the case effectual means could be adopted, under the existing laws, to abate the nui sance and to prevent any pollution of the atmosphere by which its salubrity could be injuriously affected. The Act is therefore unnecessary and uncalled for, on the, only grounds that could possibly justify such a inn... It is, as the Honourable Member for Manchester happily termed it—a portion of that " sentimental leeislation," by the introduction of which certain Honourable Gentlemen fancy that they are rendering themselves conspicuous, and ob taining for themselves the reputation of being " active legis!ators." We might be contented merely to smile at such enactments, and to suffer these would-be st t .amen to indulge their v 6 hims, if these fancies were harmless in themselves, and did not wan tonly interfere with the business of others of the details and management of which the law- . makers are totally ignorant. Unfortunately, how ever, the gratification of their vanities may entail very serious losses and much vexatious litigation on their neighbours. It ray be very good fun to Hon. Gentlemen wholly unconnected with manufactures of any description, but it wi!l be regarded in a very different aspect by those who are summoned before two of the great unpaid, and fined a turn not exceeding 51. with costs, and perhaps in default of payment corn mited for, three calendar rncnth3 to the common gaol, or house of correction. Such persons will be placed at the mercy of informers, who will readily avail themselves of the opportunies afforded either of gra tifying malice or endeavouring, to extort money under the threat of prosecution ; and it should not be forgotten that the complainant himself is rendered a competent witness, and that his unsupported oath or affirmation will be sufficient to warrant a conviction. Practically the effect of the Act will be to place many manufacturers at the mercy of such parties, who must be either bribed to remain quiescent, or, if the complaint should be preferred, the business must be suspended, at any degree of inconvenience, while ex periments are making to ascertain if it be really prac ticable to prevent the issuing of " opaque smoke" at all times and under all circumstances from their chimneys. And they may, in fact, be compelled to abandon manufactures in which they have embarked large capitals, because they are directed by law to do that which is actually impossible, and which no care or exertions on their part can achieve. It should not be forgotten that it is only certain favoured classes, viz., those connected with the manufacture of iron and copper, and with coal works or distilleries, that are permitted to set up as a defence "that the entire consumption of the opaque smoke is impossible, either from the nature of the coal used in the furnace, or from some practice necessarily connected with his manufacture." None others, however anxiously they may have tried to consume their smoke, or however great the expenditure they may have incurred in adopting the best recognised mode of so doing, can be acquitted before the justices. The oath or affirmation of the informer, that he has seen opaque smoke issuing from the furnace for a longer period of time than is bona fide necessary for the kindling of the fire, must insure a conviction, however strong the evidence adduced by the defendant, to show that he is wholly free from blame in the transaction ; and, as there is no limita tion of the number of offences that may be committed within a stipulated time, the occupier of a factory may incur a separate penalty of 51. and costs for every single puff of " opaque smoke" that issues from his chimney. The provisions of the Bill are as loose and vague as any of those specimens of amateur legislation that have been so justly complained of by those whose duty it was to interpret and reconcile the contradictory enactments. Although the object to be attained were as desirable as it is really unnecessary and mischievous, the Bill should not, for the credit of the Imperial Parlia ment, be permitted to pass in its present form. As is very generally the case, the interpretation clause is probably the most obscure and doubtful in the en tire measure. It is, according to the usual practice where it is intended to cover clumsy and inartificial legislation, provided that the singular number in cludes the plural, and that masculine means feminine. " Opaque smoke," we are told, "shall mean smoke not transparent at the point of its exit from a chimney," which perhaps may give rise to as many arguments as to its real meaning as if no attempt at explanation had been given. It is, we suppose, a reliance on the efficacy of the clause that makes singular include plural, that induced the framers of the statute to provide (in the 4th section)— " That upon complaint made to any justice of the peace of any offence having been committed against the Act, within the jurisdiction of such justice, such justice shall summon the person against whom such complaint shall be made to answer the said complaint, and if such person shall not appear according to the tenor of such summons, and no soilLient cause shall be shown for the nun-appearance of such person, the justice before whom stnli person shall have been summoned to appear shall and may, upon proof of the service or such summons, hear end determine the said complaint in the absence of such person." Here, then, according to the plain meaning of the clause, the only person entitled to hear and determine the complaint in the absence of the party summoned is the justice before whom such person had been sum moned, but by section 11 it is provided, that all penalties should be recovered before any two or more jucticea, &c. If then a party does not appear, one justice only can adjudicate, but the penalties can only be recovered before two or more justices, and, there fore, no penalty can be imposed it' the party sum moned does not choose to attend, which of course he will not do. Many conflicting decisions will doubtless take place as to the time which may be bond fide necessary for kindling a fire. What one justice may consider ample time for the purpose another may deem in sufficient ; there can therefore be no certainty as to the result. But the Bth section is perhaps the strangest of all. It declares " that the party com plained of shall be required to show that the issuing of such smoke did not constitute an offence against the Act, and that his furnace is constructed on some approved plan for the consumption of the smoke issuing from the same." Here then, if guilty of no offence, he may be required to show that his furnace is constructed on some approved plan for the consumption of smoke ; but, even if so, it will not afford a sufficient defence, as he must also show that the issuing of such smoke did not constitute an offence against the Act, which by the 3d section it is expressly declared to be. We might adduce many other similar "absurdities, but enough has been stated to induce the parties so deeply interested in the matter to offer such an oppo sition to the Bill as will ensure its rejection in one of the subsequent stages, and make it terminate as it began, "in smoke." Common prudence should tell us that, however distasteful the particulars may be in themselves, we should observe with vigilant eyes the detailed intelli gence received of the ravages made in Paris by the Asiatic cholera. Every day the accounts from the French capital of the progress made by the disease become more and more alarming. To shut our ears to the fact would be an absurdity ; to suppress the daily returns of the victims to the malady through a notion that the publication of those returns might seem to indicate a disposition to exaggerate, or a solicitude to increase the anxiety of the population, would be the height of foolishness. C071221107d sense, as well as common prudence, must assure every rational man that the wisest as well as the safest course to be adopted on all such occasions is to regard matters exactly as they are, not as we should wish them to he. Latterly there has been no means of blinking the truth as to the appearance of the cholera among the Parisians, and the rapid ascension in the number of its victims. Persons of too great celebrity to be overlooked have been carried off among the obscure ranks of the departed. And so evident at last became the fact that the cholera was decimating the metropolis of the French Republic, that every death or indisposition announced was at once attributed to the dreaded scourge. When M. LEDSU ltommi was seized with sickness only the other morning, the attack was instantly declared to arise from cholera, although the real nature of the illness of the leader of Ile Ultra-Democrats partook rather of the character of erysipelas. When shortly before, the Counte ss of 13 , EssmoTozr, celebrated Is much, for her beauty as for her intellect, was sud denly snatched from those fair fields of literature which had, only a few weeks before, been darkened by the demise of Miss EDGEWOETII, her decease wa s forthwith pronounced to he cholera, notwithstandin g the physicians declared the seizure to have been apo plectic. Since then, however, the public alarm has been more than justified by the ravages made by the Asiatic cholera among the ranks of all classes of the Parisians. Desolated, in the June of 1818, by the terrible battle in the streets between the lovers of order and the lovers of terrorism—beautiful, unfortunate Paris is now being desolatsd, in the June of 1,349, by an equally formidable and more victor*. iloss4ilant. For the scores that fell before the musket h_ of rebellion, hundreds are perishing under the poilential breath 'of disease. To-day we have to announce the death, by cholera, of the most renowned soldier of the present generation of Frenchmen. It will be no small regret to every well-wisher of France that at this moment of political emergency, when war becomes, gradually and gradually, proximate, as the substitute for diplo macy, that at this critical interval, when the man of action is becoming every day more necessary to French Republicanism—Marshal BUGEAUD has been abruptly snatched from the busy arena of life, leaving a place vacant which not one single indivi dual amongst all his contemporaries can presume to occupy. With distinguished soldiers like CHAN GARNIER, like LAMOILICIERE, like CAVAIGNAC, like BEnEau, like OUDINOT, France might possibly have witnessed the funeral obsequies of the victor of Isly with moderated feelings of regret had the conqueror of Algeria reckoned , THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JUNE 11, 1849. his importance as a citzen solely by the keenness of his sword. But it was otherwise. BUGEAUD was more than a warrior—he was a warrior who combined with the noble qualities of heroism and of a genius for military achievements, a singular fuculty for com mand, an extraordinary promptitude of action, and an influence over the minds and hearts of the French army, such as was altogether unsurpassed except in the instance of NAPOLEON. Beyond this it would not but have been felt the other day that Marshal BUGEAUD—Le Pere Bugeaud, as he was affection ately called by his comrades in arms—evinced a dis position so strikingly conciliative as to promise well for the adjustment of all differences even between the most opposite factions. Our allusion has reference of course to that occasion when the Legislative As sembly was appeased, in a moment of almost unpre cedented excitement, by the old soldier of Algeria declaring from the tribune that he hoped during the course of the session just commenced to find himself frequently acting and voting in unison with M. LEDRU ROLLIN, the Leader of the Mountain. That incident of itself augured well for the conciliatory influence which would doubtless be exercised over the deliberations of the Legislative Assembly by the presence of Marshal BUGEAUD. Another incident, as honour able to the character of the deceased Captain, was that of his reminding the soldiers of the army of the Alps in his farewell address that, like them, he had once carried the knapsack 1 As NELSON used to sign his name, Nelson of the NiIe—BOGEAIID, with pardonable pride, appended as his autograph to that Farewell Address, Bugeaud D'lsly ! N ow thr.t, like LEAs, the old chief "sleeps soundly," the voice of envy and contention will be hushed. Whatever may have been his civic faults or political short-comings, France will not forget that the Conqueror of Isly added one more ray of glory to the honours which had already ' illustrated her military history. She will reflect that Marshal BUGEAUD has inscribed his name among that glorious catalogue of warriors amongst which had been enumerated such men as NET, and MURAT, and MASSLNA, and AUGEREAU, and MORTIER, and DAVoUST, and MOREAU, and Hocur, and DESSAIX. France will remember these things of BUGEAUD, and will inscribe her homage in simple words upon his monument. In another portion of our columns will be found tables giving the graduated increase i❑ the number of deaths by cholera among the Parisians ; a number which has increased from 566 in one week of March to no less than 539 in a single day in June. Everything shows the necessity for sanitary precau tions. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. DEATH OF MARSHAL MIGEAUD. FALL OF ROME. We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and yesterday. Marshal BUGEAUD died at six o'clock yesterday morning of cholera after great suffering. He was attended in his last moments by the Archbishop of PARIS. In the course of -Saturday morning he was visited by the Minister at War and by . General CELANGARNIER. The Marshal expressed to them a wish to see the PRESIDENT of the Republic, who im mediately hastened to his bedside. The Marquis of NORMANBY visited the dying Marshal in the course of the afternoon. It was said in the hall of the Assembly on Satur day that M. PASS; the Minister of Finance, had been attacked by cholera, and was dangerously ill. In the Legislative Assembly, on Saturday, a vio lent attack was made on the Government by the Mountain for not having produced the dispatches received from General OUDINOT. M. DUFAURE, in the absence of the Minister for Foreign Affairs, declared that they should be published in the after noon. An attempt was made by M. LAGRANGE to have a night sitting, but the proposition was re jected by a large majority. At a late hour on Saturday evening the Patrie published the following official report of General OUDINOT to the French Government : "GENERAL OUDINOT TO THE MINISTER OF WAR " Head-quarters, Villa Pamfili, June 4, 1849. " Five A.M. " Monsieur le Ministre—The diplomatic negotiations opened by M. de Lesseps have, as you know, slackened since the 17th May the active operations of the expedi tionary army of the Mediterranean. The engineers and the artillery, aided by numerous infantry, have made gabions and fascnes. "A bridge erected in front of St. Paolo has enabled Us to establish ourselves in the cathedral of that name, which, by putting us in communication with the Albano road, permits us to be there in advance of any foreign troops. Our position there is the stronger from the fact of the soldiers having constructed at the head of the bride an outwork capable of receivin,c , _ a battalion. " The incessant devotion of the officers, subalterns, and soldiers of the marine has enabled us to supply suc cessively the magazines of provisions and the great park of artillery, of which the last pieces arrived there on the Ist of June. Our troops had occupied the Monte Mario, or Sacred Mount, which commands the Upper Tiber, the Vatican, he Fort of St. Angelo, and the roads to Ancona and Florence. The enemy, who had worked at it with ac tivity for several weeks, suddenly abandoned it, and some hours afterwards the 13th Light Infantry and the 13th Infantry of the Line'occupied it without firing a shot. " On the 31st of May, M. de Lesseps had concluded a convention with the Roman authorities, to which he wished that I should put my signature. But military honour, in accordance with my instructions, prevented me from attaching my name to an act which was opposed to cur entry into Rome. In a late dispatch I had the honour of informing you, that on the Ist of June I in timated to the Triumvirate that the verbal truce agreed to by M. de Lesseps should cease to have its course 24 hours after my notification. " I gave immediate notice of the same thing to all the advanced posts of the enemy. At the request of the chancellor of our embassy, M. de Gerando, I consented to defer the direct attack of the place till Monday, the 4th of June. That diplomatic agent was informed that those of our countrymen who wished to quit Rume would find at St. Paola a s•_cure asylum. " Nevertheless, the more rigorous investment of the place became immediately necessary, in order that we might undertake the first operations in the formation of the trenches. The general of division, Vailiant, com manding the engineers, could not seriously commence his works as long as the enemy was able to disturb them by the possession of the Villa Pamfili, the church of St. Pancrazio, and the Villas Corsini and Valentini. " In taking possession of one of these positions we were forced to take successively the others. This was done. Two columns, the one commanded by General Molliere, and the other by General Levaellant (John), received orders to commence the attack on the 3-1 of June, at three o'clock A.M. The one took possession of the Villa Matted, near the Villa Santucci, and the other of the Villa St. Carlo. " At this point of junction, General Regnauld de St. Jean d'Angely was to take the command and centralise the action. Generals Rosto!au and Guerrillers had orders to concentrate themselves and support the movement. " Although the Villa Pamfili was surrounded by a wall four metres high and half a metre thick, although the enemy had raised there in several places numerous bar ricade=, although it was defended by about 20,000 men, it was carried with great rapidity. Upwards of 200 pri soners, of whom ten are officers, had been taken at five in the morning; three colours and a caisson of 200,000 cartridges were also in our power. " The church of San Paucrazio, adjoining the park c f the Villa Pamfili, had soon to undergo the same fate; se were established there by force at seven in the morning. During that time two comp-ales were dislodging the enemy from a vast edifice, situated at 300 metres from the depot of the trenches, and about GOO metres from the walls of the place. " The occupation of the church of San Pancrazio led necessarily to that of the Chateau Corsird—a rectan gular edifice, and built of cut stone of remarkable soli dity. The enemy had entrenched themselves there in and tste,u,ma, : t b elfdm i r l o i o t me y stai o ts f .tihm o e u Tu r lshtaaim o sn ffi eero c tu e es r slul s it, w a a formidable manner; and all the energy of our soldiers wast e ti ho r e ne n r ry .00 e ewbthi q tel ea u : raeni i en r sd e voeie d lndavagrei are t iant o telotdli e thei dislodgeanav aboutenlidimkeuten o'clock. na large farm, which is a sort of dependence of it, and is manlier. p m p o , morning by y o e o v f er t , he th p e os ß it r n a s n , 5 could possession of them.

It was this attempt of the enemy e Villa Pamfili. The ads from the V ati can to the ardour of cur soldiers did not allow immedi ately stopped. the cavalry constantly patrolled the left bank of the Lower in sight of the ramparts. a Diversions were made by our troops; Tiber "On the other side, the brigade of S anhar, which had been for some few days at Monte Mario, had received orders to take possession aPontemolie, on e arch of pontemoile,. which had been destroyed, and n hich every one believed to be mined. " This idea determined the general to make 20 volun teers of his army swim across the river, their muskets and part of their clothing being sent across by a raft constructed on purpose. This operatisas was not attended , with the success that was expected from it. "Tbe general then deten - nined to take possession of the portion of the bridge edjo:ning the Some tirallems end a certain nurnhr of chas,eurs suc ceeded after great efforts in sil,ncing the two guns which the enemy had brought to bear on the bridge; they forced 1,000 Romans, who were on the left ball, to take refuge in the houses, and cease firing. "Our tiralieurs were then able by means of fascines and sand-bags to temporarily establish the bridge for the passage of the infantry, and three companies had soon taken up their position on the left bank, and were im mediately placed in a state to repulse the uttacks of the enemy. "This night the Roman troops have again attempted a sortie, but the firmness of cur troops obliged them to retire without their attempt being attended with any result. "Such, Monsieur le Ministre, is the present state of affairs here. The day his been a glorious one. Our troops have never all been engaged at once; they were successively renewed; nevertheless, the greater part of them were - under arms from two o'clock in the morning until six o'clock in the evening. They carried positions hich appeared impregnable, end the possession of which will have imrnt nee influence on the result of the siege. "The number of our wounded amounts to 165, includ ing seven officers; you will shortly receive a regular and detailed list on this subject. " When I shall have received the different reports from the commandants of the different corps, I shall be better able to speak precisely; I can now only give the leading facts of the different actions of the 3d of June. I shall be happy to call the attention of the Government to the soldiers who have FO boldly carried the French flag on that memorable and glorious day. "I am, with respect, &e., (Signed) "OUDINOT DE REGGIO." It would appear from the following letter, published in the Debats, that General OUDINOT has also been endeavouring to obtain possession of Ancona, but that he shrinks from anything like a collision with the Austrians, or from in any manner provoking their ire. The letter is dated Trieste, the 28th ult : "It has already been stated that M. Belveze, the French naval cona.uandant on that steatite had been to Ancona, and after an interview with the authorities, had caused M. Doualt to be reinstated in the post of consul, and his flag to be hoisted. After that had been accom plished M. Belveze had another intr rview with M. Mat tioli, the president of the municipality, and observed to him that the Austrian troops were advancing rapidly towards the town, but that a means of safety was open to him by aco-pting the protection of the French flag, and admitting 150 or 200 French troops to garrison the piece until General Oudinot could send a larger force lie declared his firm belief that the Austrians would make a halt when they learned that the French flag was hoisted on the walls of Ancona. The of sr was refused by M. Mattioli, who said that he would rather be buried beneath the ruins of the place. " On the following day, the 24th, the Austrian army was in sight of the town; the Pontifical LIT was hoisted in the surrounding villages. In the morning the custo mary summonses were sent to the place, but were indig nantly rejected. The attack by land was then prepared, whilst an Austrian squadron came to anchor in the roadstead. In the evening the French steamer Panama left the port, taking in tow the English brig-of-war Frolic, and both anchored out of reach of the guns. " The conciliatory mission of M. Belvsze was thus terminated,.but General Brentz, an Hungarian officer, to whom an asylum had been given on board the Pa nama, at the moment he was about being arrested, landed, and had an interview with Mattioli. lle re peated to him the arguments used by the French com mandant, and pointed out to him how much the 'ate of Venice depended upon that of Ancona, and how much Hungery was interested in the Austrians not occupying that side of the Adriatic. M. Mattioli ad mitted, when too late, the justce of these arguments, and consented to admit the French troops ; but it was too late, the French commandant now refused the offer. The Austrians were now within cannon shut of the town M. Btiveze had now only one mission to perform—to protect any French subjects, and to collect any refugees who might require his assistance ; and for this purpose he remained at the di,pssal of the Consul. The French steamer Brasier had also arrived from Venice for the same purpose. The first operations of the Austrians had commenced ; their squadron had advanced and ex changed shots with the batteries. The trenches were opened on the 26th, without any material impediments being opposed by the inhabitants. The taking of Ac-• cons, therefore, is unfortunately, but a question of time, as is that of Venice." The attack upon eleeme by Gt neral OUDINOT is, it appears, the result of an intrigue on the part of M. DE FALLOUX and the Jesuit section of the Cabinet, which will probably lead to the resignation either of M. DE FALLOUX and General RunutEuE, or of the other members of the Cabinet, including MM. ODe- LON BARRUT, DUYAUItE, DE TOCQUEVILLE, and PAstY. The Siecle, the organ of M. litFAnuE, has the fol lowing article on this subject : "No one rejoiced more than we at the entry of M. Dufaure into the Cabinet. M. Dufaure and his friends are, in our eyes, the expression of poliical honesty, combined with a firm determination to do all possible good for the unfortunate poor. This Ministry appears to us the last barrier separating us from Socialism. Put down the third party, put down Dufaure and his friends, and then only two combinations are possible—a Ministry of compression, Falloux, Faucher, Bugeaud, Thiers, Mold &c., or a Ministry of expansion, without limit, Ledru Rollin, &c. The first would cause civil war in Paris; the second anarchy in the country, and that before eight days, if not within 48 hours. We are so completely impressed with this sad convic tion that we cannot retrain from proclaiming it aloud. True it is that the Ministry does not entirely satisfy u 4. Why,' it will be asked, ' have we supported it?' We answer, because we know that no Ministry could exist unless supported by the majority of the Chamber end the President; M. Dufaure had no other choice than to unite himself with M. Barrot, as the only means of attaching to himself a portion of the old mAjority. Had he not done so, a Ministry would have been formed which in 48 hours would have led us to civil war." " If it be true, as is said, that a Minister who had already given in his resignation, did, on the eve of his retirement, give orders to attack Rome; if others have accepted the responsibility of the act, then we tell our fiends that there is but one course open to them; they must repudiate such responsibility, so far as they are concerned, and leave it to those who engaged in such an affair to, get out of it the best way they can. It little matters to us that M. Barrot was in the first instance in hostility with M. de Fal lout on the Roman question. A President o f th e Coun cill can bo cannot, as of old, pretend that h e did not k now a ll . Ifthere o ther parties guil t y, no matter how high their rank, justica must be done. If M. B arro t did know, approve an act of t hi s nature, we can only pity him blindness and weak ness, while we protest against conduct did n o ( r i li e b et which is of a n a t ure to l eave an in ?fface asta c n able stain upon the whole life of a statesman. Let M. Dufaure consider what his mission is. There are only two courses before him. Ile must either form a homo geneous Ministry, and that will r. ject all soft of identification with men mixed up in this unfortunate effe,ir at Italy, or he must immediately resign. In the first case ho renders himself possible for the present. In the second possible for the future." The same journal publishes the following reply of M. DE LEssars to the letter of General OUDINOT, addressed to him on the 30th. In the instructions of M. DROUYN DE L'HUYS, it will be seen that M. DE LESSEPS had full powers to treat with the Roman Republic : "Rome, June I. "Monsieur the General-in-Chief,—Y our t wo l etters of the 31st of May, of which I dispatched copies to the Government, reached me, the one at seven o'clock yes terday afternoon, the second at six o'clock this morning. The following is inY reply :—I have f o ll oa r e d, w i t h de votedness and self•denial, the directions of the Govern ment of the Republic. The day on which, in the pre sence of witnesses. you created such a scandalous scene that my sang froid and determination alone pre vented it from being converted into a violent contest — the day on which, setting me completely aside, you re plied to my confidence by commanding your officers secretly to commence hostilities, unexpectedly and under the shadow of night—on that day my determination was irrevocably fixed. I deposited in your hands, the day b: fore yesterday, at eight o'clock in the morning, at three o'clock in the afternoon, and at six o'clock in the morning of the 30th, three note, of which Ilikesvise send copies to the Minister fir Foreign Affairs. Those docu ments will prove that, anticipating your projects, J had taken measurts to present your executing them. You have aFstmaed that, having addressed an uiti• matunt to the Roman authorities, the declaration I made you that my mission was terminated, and that hostilities might be recommenced at the moment of the expiration of the terms fixed, was abselute and indcp ndent of every new event. But I told you in full time, and I repeat to you, that nin e h ours b e t ore the conclusion of the final term (which was 24 hours) the Roman authorities had replied to our ultimatum; that they had sent me a counter project, which common sense, the elementary principles of diplomacy, and a still more powerful motive (hu manity) commanded us t o t a ke into consideration. You have s.esrcely had ti me t o cas t 3, our eyes on this duli ment as well as on t h e l etters o f the Roman municipality, of the President of the Constituent Assembly, and of the Roman Executive Government, You have returned me the manuscript by M.

I think it necessary to remark here, that all the persons present at the meeting observed a most becoming att it u d e towar d s the official representa tive of the Republic, with the exception of General Reg nault St. Jean d'Ang,ely. Reflection, together with some energetic and enlightened advice, has caused your orders to recommence hostilities to be la yoked at the last moment.

I handed you a copy before signing it, accompanied by a declaration. I commenced by reading to you my instructions of the Bth of May, couched in thu following terms:— _ . " Th'e' facts which marked the commencement of the French expedition directed against Cixita Vecchia being of.. nature to complicate a question which at first pre sented itself under the most simple aspect, the Govern ment of the Republic have ninsi,lered that it became ne cessary to place beside the military chief charged with the direction of the forces sent to Faly a diplomatic agent, who, devoting himself exclusively to the negotia tions and to the relations to be established with the Ro man authorities and population, might devote all the attention and all the care necessary such serious matters. Your tried zeal, your experience, the firm ness and spirit of conciliation of which you have given proof on more than one occasion in the course of your career, have pointed you out to the choice of the Go vernment for this mission ln order to give you more precise and more detailed instr notions ' we should possess certain information in which we are defi cient relative to what has been passing for some days in the Roman states. Your correct an'l enlightened judgment will inspire you acr.iording to ciricumstal ces. DROUYN DE L'Huys: "As to your declaration, Monsieur the General-in- Chief, to consider as not having been drawn up the arrangement which was regularly signed yesterday, be • tween the Roman Executive Power and me, it is for our Governint nt to pranounce on it; and, ace- rding to esta blished ta.,age, you cannot infringe is in any respect before its ratification has been agreed to or refused. When you shall judge it fit, iu virtue of Article 2, to point out, before the season when the fever commences, more healthy cantonments than those at pre,cnt occupied by the French army, be so good as to inform me, in order that they may be taken without difficulty. and, it necessary, with the aid of the inhabitants. I render justice, Monsieur the General-in-Chief, to the son of an illustrious Marshal. Your military ardoar has been worked on and turned to account; you have, without knowing it, rendered yourself the instrum•-nt of a con spiracy conducted by the enemies of France. My vigi lance has known how to thwart in time the dark seheiee, of which I am acquainted with all the threads, and I have been able to save the honour of the army, the honour of France. By your affair of April 30:h you endangered a Ministry. By causing the 30th of May, which would have been another Aptil 30th on a larger scale, I prevented you from blindly obey ing those aho by their perfidious counsels had led you away a first time, and desired at present to ruin France. If you do nut consider me a sufficiently good Frenchmen, you will perhaps think that those persons who have replaced we at head•quarters are better than I; amongst others, the official agent of Russia at the Holy See, Father Vaure, a Prussian General who is the envoy of Radtazky, the Able de Breenont, &e. I have the honour of informing you, Monsieur the Genera-in- Chief, that all the persons who shall be provided with a pass signed by me are authorised to proceed to the des tination marked down in their papers. I venture to hope that you will not in any way oppose this measure of public order, or the fri e entrance end departure of cou riers carrying the public and private correspondence. All personal intercourse ceases between us, but the official relations in writing are still to subsist. " Receive, llonsieur, the General:in-W.3f, the aasu. ranee of my high consideratkn. " LESSEPS, " Envoy Extraordinary and Mini: ter Plenipotentiary of the French Reputlic in mission at Home. "P. 3. The Triumvirate hai just tran,mitted to me a copy of the letter which you addressed to it this morn ing, and their reply. The step which you have taken is deplorable, because it exposes to the open day a political difference of which our Government is alone the judge, sod which for the time being ought to have remained confined to our: elves." The following article which appears in the Credit, in reply to the insinuations which have been made as to the sanity of DE LESSEPS, will throw some light on the disgraceful intrigue of which that distinguished diplomatist has been the victim : s at h pdp t shwt al7 l - cel,oto i horar r sutem e ithire e raaenl f.strs h tbrotsdid o :bes) n ittv , u nffpar, r (stehig, sekter:uifi between n r nat as ap o ltrtdi ttmesiag,haFpcstdai calculated esl haeedoi placet ctaes-sp m ughaot lA e wcmou, •va).oueietnep:esrht past-houses, "M. de Lesseps arrived at Paris in four days and in e is s t distance the tirst sotime rapidly.that a di plomatist sii b rier oi e hrsr s oeai d , . twsn, oe.

On hearing the name of M. de Lesseps, the courier replied that he would wait 24 hems for him, if necessary. But in ten minutes after M. de Lesseps rode up on hor3eback. with his port folio under his arm, and without any coveting on his head, his cap having fallen off in his haste. He said with a laugh that his arrival in that state at Orange would occasion much pleasure to those who had an in terest in representing him as a madman. Thanks, how ever, to God, his robust constitution is in no dal,ger of suffering from such exertions. In four days from his leaving Rome, and in less than a month from his depar ture from from Paris, the diplomatist was knocking at the daor of the Cabinet of the President of the Republic. without, however, being able to obtain admission. It we are well informed, and we believe we are so, M. de Lesseps had already presented himself three times at the e es, receiving on each occasion a fresh appointment, which was, however, regularly broken. The third time M. de Lesseps observed to the officer on duty, who had told him that the Prince had not yet had had time to read his dispatches, and that he could not see him until he had done so—' When, after the vote of the Consti tuent Assembly, on the 7th of May, the President of the Republic considered he required my services, he was able to find time to receive me, and to band me the instructions and the powers of the Government.' M. de Lesseps went no more to the Elysee, and the ex-agent of the Minister of Foreign Affairs will not go there again until he is invited to do so by the chief of his depart ment. The following curious fact we can guarantee, as we received it from an eye-witness:—At his first visit to the Dys‘ e at six o'clock in the morning, M. de Lesseps was kept waiting during the whole thee that the Council was sitting. Of all the Ministers, one alone recognized him as they came out, and that was M. de Falloux, who went up to him and welcomed him back. M. de Lesseps said to him, ' You have had at Rome a 30th of Anti), in which France was nearly drawn into an abyss. It is now wished to recommence that day on a larger scale. It is wished to place the country on a ground where the most skilful foot will riot fail to slide in the blood.' M. de Falloux replied to this remark, which was made with a frankness little used by diplomatists, by increased amiability, and by a pressing invitation to M. de Lesseps to come to a soirée which was to take place at his house that evening. M. de Lesseps went there for the purpose of showing to the crowd, who would not fail to throng the Ministerial saloons, that he was not so mad as it was wished to make it be believed. For the space of one month ho had only four times slept in a bee, and since his departure from Rome he had never lain down, but no sign of fettue was visible. The di plomatist conversed in the most amiable manner with the ladies, and assured them that all the monuments of Rome remained in their original conditign, and had not been subject( d to any of tne acts of Vandalism which had been charged to the account uf the It(lnan Republi can Goverttv-nt. M. de Lesseps determined to observe the greatest reserve on subjects connected with his mis sion, and confined himself to making vague and general replies to his numerous ques"Lioneri, when AI. de Falloux took him by the arm, alai, heading bins into au adjoining saloon, he, in the most gracious nwiner, reproached him with such a rigid silence on a subject on which so much curiosity was ow urally felt by all his guests. • What said M. de Lesseps, • is it than you, a ins•mher of th! Government, who reproaches me with acting with dis creticn ! Well, then, since you are curious, it is for you o any o sayq question t i what en m e point I may gratify public curiosity. Put you like, I promise to reply frankly, with,,ut reserve, and without ambiguity.' • Are you of opinion,' said M. de F a lloux, without hesitation, • that France should recognise the Roms.rt Republic?' ' You any people, put to me a question,' re plied M. do Lt S •t 6 lhno l t p vne S d , utf 4 bitly w re.. hi hr c ei h ls. , ' a u' k n'' ti dd s e t r r a i m a e , ' d ''.ll b oc e nai c f tl a m n rs tacuuorcg..censti'os recognise ut beforel : 'e h diplomatist 1o na atist who hers tit:rryalni and dhearthis bead— aabnveiynatgdh—i niztdehpi an ig: a init n d op e roe e r p t me will, however, reply in the same unhesitating manner that you have asked the question, Yes, France ought to recognise the Roman Republic ; and it is I, a man of peace, I who at Rome, :Is at Barcelona, risked my life to prevent bloodshed,—it is I who affirm to you be fore the Austrian representative lime present, and who will not contradict what I say, that the only means of avoiding the horrors a general war before six months are over is to immediately recognise the Roman Rt.- public ; to make known that recognition to the Cabinet of Vienna, and to negotiate with energy and with faith the justice, the humanity, and the right of the cause, for the evacuation of the Roman States by the Austrian troops.' After this frank declaration, M. de Falloux with increased amiability reconducted his vLitor to a group of ladies, and M. de Lesseps in passing through the crowd met with repea7ed mat ks of sympathy ; one hand was silently lit hl cut towards him, which he bhouk —it was that of the reprtstmtative of Austria." M. DR LESSEPS intends starting as a candidate for one of the vacancies which have taken place in the representation of Paris. his avowed object is to be enabled to offer his explanations as to the Roman negotiations to the National Assembly. The Jesuit Kction of the Government evidently dreads the effect of these explanations, and in order if possible to pre vent any debate taking place in the Assembly on the subject, it has persuaded the PRESIDENT to issue a decree referring the acts of M. DE LESSEPS relative to his mission to the Council of State. It was rumoured in Paris last evening that General OUDINOT took possession of Rome on the sth. He attacked and carried the Ponte Mole and the I'incio on the 4th, and as these two points, together vt ith those of which he was previously in possession, coat- rn-nPd flip rctr rl e T.? 1 surrender. The French nation generally by no means approres o` the c•Jrflu2t the Government, and a peotest ha been drawn up against it, which Will be sent into all the departments of France for sig nature, and which must, unless he is afflicted with judicial blindness, open the eyes of the PREa- DENT as to the inevitable result of hi 3 adoption of the crooked and deceitful policy of M. DE FALLOUX and his Jesuit friends. The interpellations to be addressed to the Ministry to-day on the subject of the Italian and the Austrian questions are expected to give rise to most animated discussions. Neither Al. DuPAURE nor M. DE TOCQUEVILLE were aware, it is said, of the orders which had been given to attack Rome. Those orders had been dispatched at the instigation of M. DE FALLOUX by M. DRourIN DE L'HUYS, a few hours only before the latter gentleman retired from office. N:. LEDItU RoLLIN is convalescent; M. LEON FAUCHER, has gone to the Eaux Bermes in the Py renees for a month.

One hundred and four members of the above As sembly (just four more than the number required to form a house) met on the 6th instant in Sturgardt, in the hall of the Second Chamber of Wirtemburg, by permission of the Government. Amongst the mem bers were 13 from Austria, 19 from Prussia, 13 from Bavaria, 10 from Saxony, 21 from Wirtemburg, 7 from Baden, 4 from the Electorate of Hesse, 4 from the Grand Duchy of Hesse, 2 from Schleswig-Hol stein, 2 from Mecklenburg-Schwerin, 1 from Olden burg, 1 from Saxe-Weimar, 1 from Saxe-Altenburg, 1 from Srew - arzburg-Iludolstadt, 1 from Reuss, and 1 from Nassau. Amongst the more distinguished members are Giskra, Hartmann, Jacoby, liaveaux, Count Reichenbach, H. and L. Simon, Temsno, Homer, !Aland, Fischer, Prince Waldburg, Zeil, Lowe, Hagen Forster, and Schuler. The Members were escorted to the Chamber from the Town-hall by the civic guard of Stutgardt ; and, on their entrance, were vociferously cheered by the persons in the public gallery. Herr LOWE, the President of the Assembly, opened the proceedings of the day with the following brief speech : " On the occasion of the opening of this sitting the Members present are indeed few, but they are for a certainty animated by the old spirit. I cannot refrain from expressing to the noble people of Wirtemburg amf to their Government our warmest thanks for the cordial reception they have given us. We have chosen this city as the seat of our labours, because we know that it is Equally imbued with liberal and patriotic sentiinents end with the love of order—characteristics which it has ever maintained. We have quitted Frankfort in order to be the better enabled to fulfil our duties. The fate of the German nation rests with this Assembly. We left Franking without being able to express our thanks to the inhabitants for their friendly demeanour towards us. Let us now fulfil that duty, and at the same time show our gratitude to the population of Stutgardt.— (Here all the Members rose.) I now declare the sitting Than LOWE was then elected First President, by a majority of 101 to 3. The following " urgent motion" of the Committee of Thirty was laid before the Assembly, and, after a short discussion, all but unanimously adopted : That the National Assembly adapt the following resolution : " In consideration that the Governments of Prussia, Saxony, and Hanover have presumed (sick angemasst haben). in opposition to the constitution of the empil e, as finally established by the National Assembly, to pre pare the draft of another imperial constitution, and to &frown an imperial law of election for the next diet of the empire; in consideration that no German Govern ment have the right to force laws on their people, much less on the entire German nation; in consideration that the imperial law of election for the next Diet has been finally voted by the National Assembly, and promulgated as the law for all Germany, by the provisional central Po, wer which has been recognised by all Ge r m an G o • rveurneefs; the Nation A,serubly resolve:— " 1. That the electoral law promulgated for the tic xt diet by the Governments of Prussia, Saxony, and :Han over is null and void. "2. That any attempt to enforce such a law in Ger many be considered as high treason against the sovereign German nation. "3. That all persons, particularly civil and military fun-tionuri( s, be deemed guilty of that high treason it they co-operate, in any way, in the carrying out of that electoral law." The following motion of the Committee of Thirty was also adopted :-- "In consideration that it is the duty of the National Assembly to maintain and carry out, in opposition to all separatist attempts, the constittnien finely agreed to and promulgated ; in consideration that the provisional c( ntral power hes refused to enforce :he constitution (IA the decisions of the National Assembly aipertaining to it ; in consideration that the condition of the country nee, ssttatee the induction, as speedily as possible, of an executive power which may carry out with a strong hand ihe constitution of the empire ; in consideration that the lection of a stadtholder of the empire, as prescribed by the resolution of the 19th of May last, is under present circumstances, and tor the time being, impracticable, the National Assembly resolve:— " 1. That until the upointment of a stadtholder, a regency of five persons be chosen by the National As sembly, by an absolute majnr:ty of votes, such regency to be responsible to the National Assembly for the carrying out of the Constitution and the execution of the dec:sion of that Assembly, aed to possess in oiler respects the privileges as well to fulfil the ditties con ferred on sad prescribed for the provisional central poi er by the law of the 28th of June, 1848. The ap pointreent of the regency is liable to be reveled. "2. That the central power cease to exist front the moment the regency is appointed. "3. That the National Assembly designate the fol lowing point s as t h e b as i s o f o p era ti o n of te, regency:— " A. The speedy f o rmation of an imperial army, and the organization of the arming of the people fur the carrying out of the Constitution. "B.

To urge on the elections for the Diet to be con vened on the 15th of August. " D. Convocation to the seat of the National Assembly of the plenipotentiaries of the States which recognise the Constitution." The Assembly also resolved that its President be empowered to promulgate the foregoing resolution as the law of the German nation. At the commencement of the afternoon sitting it was announced that two new Members arrived—one from Austria, and the other from Weisbaden. The Assembly then proceeded to elect a regency, and finally chose the following individuals :—kierr ~.,~.. ~ T 7 t' 5::.j Li. il' : , The Preside;it of the National Aserobly—l Low dc. clard 24es.:re.

With you we shall stand or fall —(lmmense arplause.) The Assernlq then adjourned.
