Ot(tniug LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 31, 1849. LOUIE NAPOLEON has at length the opportunity a testifying the sincerity of his patriotism and the sta bility of his principles. Before the dissolution of the :rational Assembly he was crippled in a greater degree than is generally imagined. It must not be forgotten that until now he has been supreme magis• trate of the French Republic, in spite of the French Republican Legislature. He was elected in December, •in direct opposition to the favourite of the Parliament. Until now he has been completely insulated from the senate —residing in a reserved solitude in the Palace of the Elysee. At length he finds himself face to face with an Assembly elected in a mood congenial with that which elevated him to the dignity of the First Republican President. The force of his situation comes out at length conspicuously before the judgment of the popular repre sentatives; they recognize in him the elected of the nation, the personage invested with the glory of six million spontaneous votes, the emanation of universal suffrage, the one man whose name has alone survived the secret fire of the elective urn. That this extraordinary privilege has been awarded to Louis NAPOLEON as a token of homage to himself individually is beyond the reach even of his own imagination. The perceptive faculties of a child are sufficient to perceive in the election of the 10th of December a sublime and wholly unparalleled act of posthumous homage to the manes of the Emperor NAPOLEON. Coming so soon after the democratic revo lution of February, it was a realization of the pathetic and almost prophetic verse of Lord BYRON, when speaking in the person of the wonderful mortal who was then perishing under the effects of at mospheric poison at St. Helena, he exclaimed : Farewell to thee France, and when Liberty rallies • Oita more in thy rrgions, remember me then; The violet still grows in the depth of thy sallies Tity tears may e'en yet unfold it again.* " Farewell to thee France, and when perils surround thee Yet, yet may thy heart leap awake to my voice; * In this Byron evidently meant more than is im plied in a mere poetical adornment ; the symbol being a graceful allusion to the ‘iolets worn by the "conspira tors" of the Return from Elba, a token which caused Napoleon to be mentioned among his soldiers during the Hundred Days by the affectionate soubriquet of Le Pere Violet. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 31. 1849. When the links have been burst in the chains that have bound thee, Then turn thee and call on the Chief of thy choice." France realized the dream of the great poet when she consolidated her democratic institutions with the prestige of the imperial dynasty, and when she con secrated the laws of the Republic under the glo rious name of NAPOLEON. Nor was she, in so doing, derogating in any degree from her consistent adhe sion to the political principles avowed by her in the Revolution of February. She was on.ly acting in accordance with the views of her most illustrious patriots—men devoted almost to the extent of fanati cism to the cause of popular freedom. In associating the name of NAPOLEON with Republicanism, France acted in obedience to the same feeling which in 1815 had actuated to similar proceeding democrats of unimpeachable integrity. Then it was that CARNOT, the man who during the days of the Trium virate and the Directory, had planned cam paigns in the closet, and had organized the victories of Republicanism almost with the cer tainty of mathematical demonstrations, acknowledged an error of ten years by becoming one of the most energetic supporters of the EMPEROR. CONSTANT acted in the same manner, expressing his contrition for not having sooner appreciated the character of NAPOLEON by the tears of a true patriot. LUCIEN, who had proved the sin • cerity of his opinions by the refusal of a diadem, so far confessed the error of his previous estimate of his brother by consenting then for the first time to be proclaimed one of the Imperial Princes. It was thus that, in 1815, NAPOLEON became, to use the expression of a great English democrat, the late Mr. HAZLITT, "a Republican Emperor?' The immortal oration uttered by him in the assemblage of the Champ de Mai beginning " Soldat, Consul, Empereur, Je gems tout's de vous !" was more expressive of democratic views than any speech ever articulated, either before or since, by the lips of a consti tutional Sovereign. Every rational man who was not blinded by prejudice recognised from the first that the despotism which had previously existed under his auspices was a necessity forced on France by successive coalitions ; they perceived as history has since demonstrated, that by seizing the crown of CHARLEMAGNE, NAPOLEON had not betrayed Liberty, but on the contrary saved Democracy; they knew as millions are now beginning to know, that the blood shed during his wars fell not upon his head, but upon the heads of the Kings by " right divine," who had forced those wars upon him ; they felt instinctively what the philosophers of his tory have since proved by argument, that the con quest of France by the European despots was only prevented by the rise of NAPOLEON, and that the conquest of France occurring as it would then have done so soon after, the crimes of Ter rorism would have thrown back the liberties of France and the civilization of Europe to a dis tance of more than a century. This it was which secured to the First Consul in the days of his power the admiration of a true lover of popular freedom and popular rights like CHARLES JAMES Fox ; and which retained for the EMPEROR in the days of his misfortune the respect and friendship of JoHN VASSAL Lord HOLLAND. Let LOUIS NAPOLEON read these things aright ! Let him see that the names of NAPOLEON and of Republicanism are not incompatible, but that the Imperial power was merely assumed as the buckler of France when France was threatened with annihilation by the coalition of Counter-Revolu tionists. By regarding these deductions from the annals of his country in a true spirit of candour, the PRESIDENT of the French Republic will best fulfil the wishes of the nation, the hopes of his contemporaries, and the responsibilities of his position ; by so doing he will best testify his sympathy for the national gratitude expressed in the fact of his election, the national gratitude and the popular affection with which the memory of the Emperor NAPOLEON is cherished in the hearts of Frenchmen. Now that the Legislative Chamber has been inau gurated—an Assembly, the majority of whose mem bers are coincident in opinion with the PRESI DENT of the Republic Louis NAPOLEON has, we repeat, a brilliant opportunity of prov ing the sincerity of his patriotism. And this opportunity now occurs for this first time since the oth of December, for hitherto it has been said by his depreciatory that the PRESIDENT has acted under a feeling of intimidation from the an tagonism of the Constituent National Assembly. Since the dissolution of that assembly and the convocation of its successor, the objection can no longer be raised. Louis NAPOLEON is at length de facto as well as de jure PRESIDENT of the French Republic. Let us see how he will acquit himself of his responsibilities. He can no longer be said to act under any sense of Parliamentary inti midation. He can now reveal to the gaze of all Europe his love for the rights of the Living and his reverence for the glory of the Dead. The vast imp ortance of the subjects discussed in the able report of Captain Hussu and his talented coadjutors, to which we directed the public attention on Tuesday last, demands a more particular observation to the details than we were enabled to bestow thereon in our last notice. " Depreciation" of " plant" and " road " has been made a bugbear wherewith to fright the shareholding public from their propriety, to fill their minds with vague apprehensions of coming danger, the more formidable because the na ture and amount thereof are wholly unascertained. We hear every day of the imperative necessity for a " depreciation fund," of the propriety of setting aside a considerable portion of the net profits to maintain the general stock at the same pecuniary value that it was worth when originally acquired. And many mis taken calculations have been formed in consequence of this error in terms. Captain rims"' points out that the term " deprecia tion," as applied to railway plant and road, is alto gether incorrect ; that " the question with which railway men have to deal is not depreciation but deterioration ;" that the former, which has reference to the present money value of the stock is a matter of very little consequence to the railway proprietor, inasmuch as he can never be in a position to part with or sell that stock, but that it is impos sible to overestimate the importance of the latter, which applies to the actual " working value or con dition, or, in other words, to the capacity and vitality" of the plant and way. The great object to be attained is to maintain per manently out of revenue" a working stock in the most efficient state, repairing it when required, and re placing it when worn out, but neither improving its condition, nor suffering it to deteriorate." This is the view adopted by Captain Iluisn, and its justice and propriety will meet a universal assent. In order to arrive at a proper conclusion he con siders three leading points, which embrace the entire question, viz.:—" The original cost or value, the pre sent market value, and the effective value to the con cern." The former, is, of course, fixed. Every railway account explains fully and particularly the original cost of the "plant ;" no difficulties can possibly arise with respect thereto. The ma rket value is, however, continually fluc tuating with the demand and supply of the day, the prices of iron and other materials of which it is formed. There will be, however, apart from that fluctuation, a " continued gradual reduction, conse quent on that improvement and economy of construc tions which is the result of skill and experience.' The " effective value" to the concern will greatly vary from the market value, and may very probably be much greater when the market value is exceedingly depreciated ; " so that if, in ordinary times, and un influenced by any unusual demand, the present market value of a stock equals the original cost, it may be fairly assumed that its effective value is greatly enhanced." The latter, however, is that hich should as nearly as practicable be maintained in a state of equality, and it will therefore follow that maintaining the "market value," as was the habit of many companies whose practice it was to have pe riodical valuations of their stock, and to appropriate a sum from the revenue equivalent to the supposed depreciation, was an actual injustice to the existing shareholders, and evidently benefited their successors, the future proprietors, at their expense. There has been a great improvement in the character of the plant of the London and' North- Western Railway since its formation, by which the " effective value" to the company is of course con siderably increased. The capacity and strength of the carriages, the power of the engines have been materially changed, and consequently not only additional efficiency, but greatly increased dura bility has been obtained. The same may be said of almost every other company which has been actually engaged in traffic fur some years. A close and accurate examination of the moving stock would, therefore, show that in place of any "deterioration" having taken place, the con trary has been the fact, and that the working condi tion is far superior at the present moment to what it was when first brought into use. " All that is ne cessary (according to Captain llmsn) is to repair and replace out of the current half year." If the original plant was insuffi cient, the additions thereto consequent upon increased traffic or additional accommodation to the public should clearly be charged to the "capital," and not to the revenue accounts, and these points should be borne in mind when charges are preferred against directors for having unduly increased the dividends at the expense of the permanent interests of the company. The principal conclusions arrived at by Captain Auiss, and which are fully justified by the valuable statistical facts adduced by him in the course of his report, are as follows: " That a desire fully to maintain the moving stock has led the directors into the opposite extreme, and that a portion of the fair earnings of the half-year has been from time to time applied towards extinguishing the capital of the concern, instead of being divided among the proprietors, or being carried to the reserve fund, for the maintenance of the future dividend. " That a deterioration fund or allowance, although it may have been to some extent prudent, in the earlier period of the concern, is no longer required, but that with the large establishments of the company there is full capacity for maintaining the efficiency of the plant. " That the market value of the working stock is 70,5841. more than it stands in the books to have cost the company, and that, taking the effective value at only ten per cent, more than the original cost, the real work , ing value of the stock is now at least 200,0001. more than was paid for it. ' " That in strict justice the difference between the first cost and the present real value belongs to the existing proprietors, and might be available for division or trans fer to a reserve fund. " And, that there was at least no necessity whatever for setting aside out of the profits of the last half-year the sum of 30,4001., and that it fairly belonged, and should be transferred to the credit of the surplus fund." This will be satisfactory information to share holders generally, not only of the North-Western but of other companies. We should like to apply the tests fairly put forward by Captain Hums to some of the other lines, in which it has been asserted that capital has been unduly debited in place of revenue. It is certain that it will justify an increase of di vidend in many companies where the directors have acted on the cautious but erroneous principle of setting aside a depreciation fund from revenue in every year. We have not been enabled from want of space this day to allude to the second report on the present condition of the permanent way. We shall do so on a future occasion. By our report in another column, it will be observed that the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR pre sided last evening on the occasion of the eleventh anniversary festival of the Royal Naval School. The appearance of the Chief Magistrate of the city of London as chairman was rendered a matter of more than usual interest from the circumstance of the present possessor of the Civic dignity being per sonally associated with the salt-water service. With his customary liberality, the LORD MAYOR, in addition to his subscription of . 25/. towards the support of this mari ime institution, has signified his intention to endow the school with a silver medal—a kind of contribution peculiarly calculated to benefit the establishment, and to aid in carrying out the in tention of its founders by exciting among its inmates an additional amount of emulation. The gift will form one among many graceful commemorations of the Mayoralty of Sir JAMES DUKE, evidencing at once his liberality and his munificence. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. The strength of parties in the Legislative Assembly was partially tested on Tuesday. A motion was made by a Montagnard member to annul the election for Haute Marne on the ground that the Council General of the Department had improperly interfered to influence the elections. On a division the election was affirmed by a majority of 392 to 179. This is the first division that has taken place in the new Assembly. The question of the dispatch of M. LEON FAUCHER has been mooted in several of the Committees, but nothing has been decided respecting it. General CHANGARNIER, the man of illegalities, has ban, it would appear illegally elected to the Legisla tive Assembly for the department of Seine et Oise. That department is within the first military division, and according to the Constitution a general command ing a division cannot be elected for any department within that division, and consequently the election is void. The Government, however, are exceedingly desirous to prevent any discussion taking place on the subject, and General CHANGARNIER, who has also been elected for the department of the Somme, has offered to choose the latter department; to this, how ever, the Opposition will not consent. There will be probably a warm debate on the subject. The reactionary party has formed a club intended to succeed the club of the Rue de Poictiers, under the superintendence of Count MOLE, the Duc DE BROGLIE, Marshal BUGEAUD, M. TUIERS, and M. BERATES. This club numbers about 300 members. Its candidate for the Presidential chair of the As sembly is M. DuriN. In opposition to this ultra club there has been formed a club of moderate Republicans, with M. DUFAURE as president, General BEDEAU and M. PAILLET as vice-presidents, and MM. PanriN and OSCAR LAFAYETTE as secretaries. This club numbers 700 members, and will be enabled to turn the balance on almost every question that may arise in the Assembly. On the breaking up of the sitting on Tuesday MM. LAGRANGE and BOICUOT were carried by the crowd of Socialists outside in triumph to the Place de Bourgogne ; a similar honour was intended for M. FLocoN, who, however, avoided it by taking refuge in a shop. M. ARMAND MARRAST was, on the contrary, hooted and grossly insulted, and poor little M. TRIERS was compelled to shout "Vive la Republique Democratique et Sociale." The crowd dispersed on the approach of the police ; several arrests were made. Accounts from Algeria state that the Deputies for that colony will probably be MM. DIDIER and EMILE BARRAULT (Socialists), who are at the head of the poll, and M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN, who was 225 ahead of M. DE RANGE when the steamer left. The Due D'AUMALE obtained only 2,500 votes. A letter from Toulon, in the Constitutionnel, has the following : " On the departure of the Narvel from Civita Vecchia on the 23d, it was known there that the Roman Govern ment had rejected the ultimatum of the French Re public. The latter demands the immediate occupation of Rome by her troops, the dissolution of the Constituent Assembly, the disarming of the Lombardian, Tuscan, Piedinontese, and Neapolitan refugees, and their imme diate expulsion from the capital. " A secretary of the embassy, the bearer of the reply of the Roman Government to the propositions of M. Lesseps, has arrived by the Narvel, and has set off for Paris. " Our troops were encamped quite close to Rome, and the armistice expired on the 25th; but it was thought that the suspension of hostilities would be renewed. Fresh instructions from Paris are waited for as to future operations. - " The Colonel of the 22a Light Infantry has died of an attack ‘, t appearsof apoplexy.h tat GeneralA s Oudinot has sent a courier ad vance any further towards ItPore' begging him not to arch from thatcapital. to the Austrian General d 15,000,withia three or four days ' He was, " The Neapolitans remain entrenched in th e i r with about sent to ovv 1- " The fleet under Admiral Baudin are lected here, but it is not expected that tlly a w n bellwill camp.remain eo long. The steam corvette Veloce has Civita Vecchia, and others will follow imm edia tely,en together with transports with military stores and ninon. The 53d Regiment, which was under orders to has received a counter order to march to Aix." e The following is from the Debarts:— "It is positively stated that M. Mercier and M. de La Tour d'Auvergue have arrived in Paris, bringing im portant dispatches from M. F. de Lesseps and General (fudinot, relative to the state of affairs at Rome." The Monileur publishes a return of the imports and exports into France for the first four months of 1849, with a comparative return of the corresponding periods of 1847 and 1848. This return is the most satisfactory proof we have hitherto had of the revival of commerce in France. The receipts for imports for the first four months of 1849 amount to 36,093,907 f., while in 1848 they amounted to 26,786,968 f. only. In 1847 they were 43,720,267 f. The returns from the month of April show thp im provement in a more striking manner. T h e recei p ts on imports in April, 1847, were 10,750,672 E ; in April, 1848, 3,764,599 f.; and hi April, 1849, 10,481,644 f. The exports and shipping are also improving. The King of PRUSSIA has accredited the Count de HATZFELD as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the French Republic. The Ministerial crisis still continues, and seems less likely to be brought to a conclusion than it did a week since. BOURSE.—PARIS, WEDNESDAY, MAY 30. THREE O'CLOCK.—There has been a serious fall at the Bourse to-day, which is attributed partly to the embarrassments of the Ministry and the obstacles which have arisen to the modification of the Cabinet, and partly to the rebuff M. de Lesseps has received from the Ro mans.

The Berlin Ministerial journal, the Reforme, published on the 26th the following article, which occasioned the most intense excitement in Berlin, as it evidently emanated from an official source It is notorious that Prussia has most suffered by the Danish war. Now, this affair menaces to involve us in a war with Russia. Russia has addressed a note to the Prussian Government, which very clearly lays down certain conditions as a casus belli. This note is accom panied, on the one hand, by the evolutions of a fleet in the Baltic ; on the other, by the movement of troops on the Vistula. The conditions bear upon the Danish war and German question. Russia exacts from Prussia the evacuation of Jutland by the German troops, and it is further stated to raise objections to the work of Ger man unity. Prussia has, therefore, the prospect of seeing her ports blockaded by a Russian fleet, and with having her eastern frontier menaced ; and this, accord ing to public report, on the side of the Vistula. Thus, whilst Russia is united and fights with Austria, Prussia has to expect a war with its old ally, on account of its new position with repect to Germany. From Lower Germany, and especially those parts far inland, that feel themselves perfectly secure from Russian fleets and Russian armies, there will be clamorous demands that Germany shall not conclude a peace with Denmark, unless it be satisfactory in the highest degree to Ger man honour. The armistice of Malmo° produced suffi cient bad blood; but it a peace were concluded that did not fully satisfy all the claims of Germany after its vic tories, Prussia, in so far as she would be concerned, would again ignite popular passions against herself. We desire a prompt and honourable termination to the Da nish war; we also wish that Prussia in this, as in all other matters, hold fast to Germany with all her heart, even though Prussia must thereby sacrifice old alliances. But before a state gives proofs of such great self-abnega tion, it is bound to ask what it has to demand and ex pect from Germany." The article then proceeds to observe, that as Prussia is menaced in the eas t, on ac count of attachment to the German cause, it behoves all Germany to stand by and support her, as she must fight the battles of Germany, while " unity—perhaps it is so written in the stars—cannot be secured unless through the medium of a great foreign war." The article terminates with further appeals to Germany to rally round Prussia, and by pointing out the danger that will occur to Germany, by abandon ing the south-west to anarchy, whilst Prussia is fighting the battles of German unity and freedom in the east. The Russian Minister immediately on the appear ance of this article proceeded to the office of the Minister of F ore i gn Aff a i rs , a nd had a long interview with him, the result of which was the appearance in the Ministerial journal of the next day of the follow ing article— " We rejoice to be enabled already to correct an error which our leading article of last night gave rise to. We are authorized to give the most ,positive assur ance that the Russian note spoken of in our last night 's leading article does not exist. We believe ourselves to be com pletely well-informed when we positively state that ' the position of Prussia, in regard to Germany, has never been the subject of negotiations between Berl in and St. Petersburgh. Russia, on the contrary, has invariably maintained the same attitude and point of view which it assumed and promulgated immediately after the events of the spring of 1848, that is to say, Russia maintains her own fixed, individual position, and will not interfere in the internal complications of other- States unless they interfere with or menace her own ter ritory (as is the case with the Magyar Polska rebellion). As regards the Danish war, Russia has in no way de viated from the principles laid down by her last year. She has the less leason to do so at present, because the negotiations with Denmark have at this moment reacbed a point which affords every prospect of a speedy solution. We have every reason, therefore, to believe that the Russian fleet, whose movements have created so much attention, hay,' not received offensive instructions. We believe this explanation (common discretion, common knowledge of facts, common consideration, ought to have rendered the explanation unnecessary) will be wel come to our readers. . The hon our an d di gn i ty o f Ger many demand that its own affairs should be regulated by itself. This conviction we wished to express in our yesterday's article. We rejoice that this principle should be acknowledged abroad, and that no attempt at inter ference will be made." Which is to be believed, th e fi rst or t h e second article ? In our opinion, undoubtedly the first. The appearance of the second corroborates the assertions of the first, inasmuch as it proves that neither the KING nor the Government of Prussia are any longer free agents, but are coerced by Russia into stifling the complaints they would fain make against the tyranny under which they groan. We look upon the first article as an app ea l to G ermany and France to preserve the ..l ,n i ndependence of Prussia from R uss ia n o rt tit that appeal, rests tinterests o be of or domination.wiisacrificedl sb e atgo a itNnhVe personal i herc a e and nnationalsD%e a s v y her rulers ? AUSTRIA, HUNGARY, AND RUSSIA. __ _ _ The report of the capture of Buda by the Magyars is fully confirmed. A letter from Warsaw says— " The German journals have informed you of the movement of Russian troops, which have crossed the Polish frontier with a view to the occupation of the ancient kingdom of Poland. The following is, as nearly as possible, the exact position of the Russian army:— " The 3d and 4th divisions, under the orders of Ge nerals Rudiger and Geodarief, have alone as yet been called to act in Hungary, forming together an army of about 100,000 men, of which 20,000 will be stationed in Galicia, to prevent any attempts of the Hungarians upon that province. Another division of 20,000 men, under the orders of General Freytag, will remain at Bukowine. The sth division will occupy Moldavia and Wallachia. "The Ist and 2d divisions, consisting of Grenadiers, will remain in the kingdom of Poland. This army is 120,000 strong. The 3d division (Grenadier s ) w ill re main in Lithuania. A reserve division of cavalry will guard the frontier of Podalia. The sixth division of the army has left Moscow, and is advancing on Brzesi, con stituting the reserve of the army in Poland. Prince Paskewitch will take the chief command of the opera tions against the Hungarians. The Imperial Guards, who had been ordered to march, have, it is said, received counter-orders to remain at St. Petersburgh. The guards are said not to like the Russian intervention in Hungary." The plan of the Hungarians is said to be to retire before the Russians and Austrians, as they did before WINDISCIIGRATZ in the month of January, giving up all the towns and fortresses between the Danube and the Theiss, with the exception of Comorn, and thus to draw the Russians and Austrians into the old Magyar fighting ground, the morasses of Upper Hungary, where fever (and ague will do their work among the unseasoned troops of Russia and Austria in summer, as cold and wet did their work hi winter. BADEN.

The opposition Deputies of the Bavarian second Chamber retired in a body on the 24th, in consequence of an attempt by the President to cxciule the Depu ties of the Palatinate. HIN OVER. The Hanover Gazette contradicts the report of the accession of Hanover to the Zollveren. It says— " The Government has always &sited a customs and commercial union, and still desires one, but as the conse quence of political union. The accession to the Zoll verein does not suit its views." SCHLESW IG-HOLSTEIN. Letters from St. Petersburgh state that 20,000 Russians have been embarked at Revel in order to proceed to the assistance of the Danes.

THE HAGUE, MAY 29.—The Staab) Courant of this diy contains an announcement by the Minister of Finance relative to the transmission of newspapers by the overland Marseilles mail to Batavia. So vast is the amount of newspapers and other printed journals, that the French Government states, that it is utterly impossible to receive them till as late a period as hither to; that, consequently, to avoid a great accumulation at the last, they must be packed three days before the departure of the vessel, and only those published within the three days will be sent at the usual time. There is likewise a probability that the postage will be raised, in order to meet the increased expenditure caused by the immense increase in the Indian correspondence ; this, how ever, will not in the first instance be applicable to letters, but be restricted to newspapers and printed journals. Nothing is yet known for certain respecting the Ministerial crisis. It is certain that M. DONKER CURTIUS has given in his resi gn ati on , and also M. VAN BAUD, the Minister for the lonies. M. WICHERS is spoken of as the probable successor of the latter Minister. M. CUBTIUS gave in his resigna tion on Saturday last ; whether this was expected or not we cannot say, but the KING immediately after held a Cabinet Council, which met again on Sunday to deliberate on the matter ; the result has not been made known to the public, nor is it known whether the above resignations have been accepted. It is said that the KING intends to form his body guard of subalterns of various regiments who have been at least 24 years in the service, and have gained the silver medal.

The following decree, under date theilsth of April, has been addressed by the Caimacam to the Chief of the Department of Justice at Bucharest : .6 Their Excellencies Fuad Effendi and General Du hamel, Imperial Commissioners in this principality, by their notes 275 and 215 notify to the Caimacam that the commission appointed to investigate the criminal acts by which order was overthrown in Wallachia during the course of last year, having partly terminated its labours, and examined more than a hundred persons, measures must be taken, in conformity to the orders of the Govern ment of his Imperial Majesty the Sultan, for the establishment of a High Criminal Court, which, adopting for basis the preparatory labours of the commission of inquiry, shall place the political delinquents under two categories : "1. Those who in arms opposed the entrance of the Imperial Ottoman troops. " 2. Those who burnt, or caused to be burnt, the or ganic statute. " With respect to other offenders, they shall remain under arrest until the two high sovereign and protecting Courts have decided upon their fate. " To this effect their Excellencies propose that this High Criminal Court shall be composed of the High Court and the Criminal Court, conformably to that which was established by the ex-Prince Ghika, by his office of the year 1841, No. 89, in a circumstance analogous to that of the moment ; that without im peding the examination of other current affairs, this High Criminal Court can assemble three days a week, in order not to delay the trial of the persons on whose guilt they will have to pronounce sentence ; that the Minister of Justice shall be invited to assist at these judicial proceedings in quality of delegate of the Go vernment; that the articles of accusation against each individual should be separately referred to the Sublime Porte; and that the Sublime Porte shall leave to the Caimacam the confirmation of the judicial sentences, against all offenders in the second degree, that is to say, such as are less seriously implicated. With respect to the condemnations which shall take place against offen ders of the first class, they shall be directly submitted to the confirmation of the Sultan. " The Caimacam, considering that the audacious act of opposing by force of arms the entrance here of the Imperial Ottoman troops, and that of burn ing the legislation of the :country, which had been granted by the legislative high sovereign and protecting Courts, is a crime of the gravest complexion, and one that cannot be pardoned to the individuals who have been guilty of it, particularly in a state of which the inhabitants have ever distinguished themselves by their attachment to the maintenance of legal order, in virtue of the abovementioned demands of their Excellencies Fuad Effendi and General Duhamel, invite the honour able department to summon immediately the High Court and the Criminal Court to assemble in one place and one body, and to occupy themselves during three days of the week, which shall be fixed, with the labours as signed to it, and to deliberate on the degree of culpabi lity of the accused, and pass sentence accordingly. " M. Le Serdar Jean Sontzo, solicitor of the Criminal Court of Appeal, is charged with the functions of soli citor of the High Criminal Court. " The Chief — of the Department of Justice is charged with the execution of the above instructions, and to re port the whole of the proceedings of the Caimacam, &c. (Signed) " Count CATACIIZENE." TURKEY. Accounts from Constantinople of the 15th state that Russia insists upon such a modification in the recently concluded treaty as shall prevent any Wal lachian Assembly from voting a Constitution. On the 12th instant a courier arrived from Vienna with dispatches for the Austrian embassy. The same day Count STURMER had an interview with the Minister for Foreign Affairs, ALL PACUA, and it is said that he communicated to the Divan the fact, that the Austrian Government was on the eve of a great crisis ; that Russia had advanced with 60,000 troops against the Hungarians, who menaced Vienna. In consequence, Austria is endeavouring to open nego tiations with Turkey regarding 16,000 Servian volunteers, who have declared themselves ready to penetrate into the country in order to co-operate with the Imperial armies. It is supposed that Turkey will not accede to this request. GREECE. Letters have been received from Athens of the 18th. The new Ministry had been well received. The Chambers had voted the law of taxes. ITALY. Accounts have been received from Rome of the 21st. They fully confirm the intelligence of the victory of GARIBALDI over the Neapolitans at Velletri, which city he entered on the 20th. The Neapolitans have, it is said, retired into their own territory. The following is the official dispatch announcing GARIBALDI'S victory "Head-quarters near Velletri, May 20, One A.M. " Citizen Triumvirs,—Yesterday morning about ten o'clock, our advanced guard, commanded by the brave Garibaldi, was attacked on the Consular Road, about a mile from Velletri, by some 600 infantry and cavalry, who issued from that city. The Republicans, with their usual courage, made two charges on the enemy with their bayonets and drove them back to take refuge in the city, leaving many dead on the field of battle, and one officer and 30 men prisoners in our hands. I arrived myself about two in the afternoon with my corps, and found the enemy replying by a brisk fusilade and discharges of artillery to the attack of our troops, who enclosed the town by a cordon resting on the right on the Consular Road, and on the left on the height of the Capuchins. I thereupon relieved the soldiers of the first brigade by fresh troops, and con tinued the reconnoisance of the walls. This action was very warm, and gave occasion for the display of the ardour of our troops. Night put an end to a com bat which was supported on our side by two pieces of artillery, regularly placed and served. Our loss has been comparatively light, we having had but a few men wounded so as to render them unfit for duty, among whom is a very small number killed. I shall send you details of the affair with all speed. " ROSELLT, General in Chief. " Velletri, May 20, 91 " I have the satisfaction to announce to the Minister of War that the enenly, discouraged by the valour of our Republican troops in the battle of yesterday, aban doned Velletri at three A.M. The army prepared to day to attack the town, when, from the reconnoisance which I had caused to be made, I discovered that the enemy had fled. We then entered Velictril the soldiers are suffering from fatig.4e ana hunger, and I have ordered them to t.4 e repose and nourishment, and I can spare cknly a few cavalry and foot soldiers to send in pursuit of the flying foe to take as many prisoners as possible; their flight is in the direction of Qiaterna. Long lire the Retmblic ;" It is said that the armistice with General OUDINOT has been renewed for ten days. An Austrian corps de arni(e of 16 000 men, with forty pieces of cannon, was advancing against Ancona. The Austrians entered Florence on the 24th. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUAR 7 ER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were about 6,000 bales, of which 1,200 American were taken for ex port. The market was quiet. The transactions in cluded 5,000 American at 30. to 64d., 200 Bahia at 48d. to 54c1., 300 Surats at 3d. to 3/cl., and 20 Sea Islands at 9d. to 91d.—Railway Shares had further declined. The Grain sales in the provincial markets which make official returns were last week moderate, viz., 74,751 quarters of Wheat, 15,894 of Oats, and 7,394 of Barley. The six weeks' average for Wheat is 455. 3d. per quarter. Atter the correspondence between the Duke of Bed ford and his Protectionist tenant, who, with all his complaining, is not agreeable to receive compensation and quit his farm, people will not be so much inclined to " believe ail they hear" of ruinously low prices, &c. No doubt, however, the "transition" state is unfavour able for many tenants holding leases at high rents, and there may be no colouring in the subjoined statement, contained in a private letter, dated yesterday, and re ceived this morning from Norfolk. The writer observes: " Business is very dull here ; what with bad prices of agricultural produce and the continued wet, our traders are doing next to nothing. As to the farmers in these parts. it is not so much the price of grain which has hurt them this year, as that of beef, for they have to buy their bullocks, and then to sell them, to realise the profit of their root crop; and this is the only thing they do buy, except labour, beyond their rent and tithes ; and as they bought is their lean bullocks high twelve months ago, and sold them out at or very little beyond the cost price, they lose all . their root crop, and the cost of the oil cake and linseed or other sorts of artificial food. Wheat has been low, yet the average price from Christmas last when the agricultural year commences, to the present time, is nof so very different to what it was last year, and the price of Barley is actually higher on an average this year than last. Other grain is much on the same level as wheat on the average. The growing crops are all looking the worse for the wet and cold, and beet and turnip sowing is now retarded and must be, as the summer fellows are, very foul. Our farmers are very small holders of Wheat and our merchants still smaller." Although we have noticed in the order of occurrence the state of the money markets here and abroad, it may be useful to recal the changes of the month ending to day, as summed up for the June number of the Bankers' Martine : " Business in Paris is again almost entirely at a stand still. Our own Public Securities were in some degree influenced unfavourably for a few days, but the decline has not been material. On the Rhine and in Germany there has been a renewal of active warfare, and all institutions of property in these regions are surrounded with so much uncertainty that already there is a renewal of that emigration of capital to this country, of which we saw so much in 1848. This is a circumstance not to be overlooked in con sidering the posture of our own money-market. In Lombard-street there has been little, if any, alteration. The rates of discount are still exceedingly moderate, and for the first rate, Three-months' Bills may be described as ranging from 21 to 21 per cer.t. The brokers accept funds at call at 2 per cent ; not always, however, with out the delay of a day of-two." The dates at which the transfer books will be closed at the Bank of England are as follows: Consols ... ... ... June 13 Reduced Three per Cents „ 15 New Five per Cents ... „ 15 Annuities for terms of years ... 13 India Stock ... „., „ 6 South Sea Stock „, „, „ 13 The re-opening of the transfer books for Consols takes place on the 17th July. The Amsterdam Bourse on Tuesday was well sup ported. Spanish were in request. The Stock Market has been dull, but keeps tolerably steady in the face of the 21 per cent. decline from Paris. Consols are 911 to 1, and have been 911 1. The New Three-and-a Quarter per Cents. are 901 Bank Stock is worth 1931. Exchequer-bills are 48j. premium. and India Bonds 675. to 70s. premium. The Honourable East India Company intend to reduce the rate of inte rest from 41 to 3i per cent. on their floating debt; but this can have no present influence on the money market, since they are compelled to give twelve months' notice, and consequently the alteration cannot take place until June, 1650. There have been one or two defaulters on the Stock Exchange this morning, parties who were Bulls of Con sol Shares and Foreign Securities, but the influence of these stoppages is purely local, and the public, therefore, have neither interest nor concern in them. The foreign account has been settled to-day. Mexican have been 271 to 4 ex-coupons. Spanish Three-per- Cents. are 32i- to 33. Portuguese Four-per-Cents. are 26 to 28, Equador have been 31. Belgian Four-and a-Half per Cents. are 79. The arrangement of the Share Account is in progress, and very little other business is doing generally the mar ket is firmer, the speculators having Roared more rail way stock than they can deliver. Eastern Counties are supported, and Great Western, Brighton, and North- Western are higher. The French lines are flat. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE 013 LOCK.
