A moiety of the correspondence which has recently taken place in the negotiations between France and England respecting the Greek question has new been officially published, consequent upon its presentation by General LAHITTE to the Legislative Assembly Already these documents have be en translated into several languages, our own amongst the number ; and hence it has come to 'pass that we are thus early enabled to estimate the merits of the discussion from the version furnished jointly by General LAMM?, the French Minister, and by M. DRoUTN DE L'Hurs, the French Ambassador. Out of their own mouths we judge them, they themselves having furnished us with the materials and the opportunity for arriving at a distinct end specific conclusion in judgment. Now, without waiting for the explanations of our own Foreign Secretary, without tarrying for the papers which will shortly be laid by him upon the table of the British Parliament, we can dispense, any rational and discerning man can dispense with the assistance of Lord PALMERSTON in weighing the Matter of these negotiations, and in deciding as to the proportionate frankness or duplicity of the:respective negotiators. Laboriously as the subject has been discussed, we conceive that it admits of a very clear appreciation, even prior to the revela tions so noisily deminded from her Britannic Majesty's Foreign Secretary. And this candid com prehension of the object of so many violent discus , sions we regard as inevitable on stripping the whole of the Question at issue naked from its present mas querade of misrepresentation. The occurrence from which has emanated all this scrutiny is, as every one very well knowi by this time the sudden recall of the French Ambassador to the English Government. An. incident so remarkable in itself naturally calls forth a multitude of inquiries : yet . it is not to the ,obvious importance of any such circumstance that these same inquiries are attributed by the bitter and rancourous assailants of Viscount PALMERSTON. According to those very unscrupulous dealers in personality, the examination is one provoked not so much by the abrupt departure of M. DROUIN DR L i fIUTS from London, as by the manifest chicane of her Britannic Majesty's Foreign Secretary. In order to. demonstrate the totally un founded character and consequent atrocity of these charges against Viscount PALMERSTON, it is only necessary to review in one comprehensive glance the rise, the nature, and the development of the late negotiaticns between himself and the French Government. From such a retrospective survey of the correspondence, it will be as clear as an induction in ,matheMatics, as irrefragable as even the most venerable axiom in moral philosophy, that the British Foreign Secretary has acted throughout with the utmost candour, and that the policy pur sued by him in the entire transaction was one worthy of his own character, of his Ministerial colleagues, and, what is yet more, of the great country whose honour, whose interests, and whose dignity have been during so many years entrusted to his conservation. To disentagle the question under consideration from all the confusion into which it has fallen in the popular mind requires, no doubt, the exercise of a very striking synthetical lucidity—but even amidst all the bewilderment caused by the ignis fatuus of party spirit —even with the labyrinth before us of a somewhat in tricate and voluminous correspondence, we do not despair of reducing the facts of these negotiations to an epitome that shall be at once comprehensible. The light of truth and the clue of a disingenuous simplicity will be quite enough to guide us through the maze of so many embarrassing diffi culties. Therefore we reduce all these wordy documents of diplomacy, all these prolific misrepresentations, all these quibblings, and sophistries, and vituperatiops to the following very plain and most undeniable parti culars : Greece, partially created, and subsequently fos• tered by England, Greece, the ungrateful object of British protection, and the cause of almost endless so licitude to British statesmanship, owed certain in demnities to certain subjects of our SOVEREIGN. The claim advanced for these indemnities is admitted on all hands as one of undeniable justice. Until recently we had abstained from forcing it upon the acceptance of the ,Athenian Legislature. Only after most pro tracted and generous delays was it at length sub• mitted to the acceptance of the Cabinet of OTHO. The result is notorious. The demands made by England were refused by Greece. No alternative compatible with the reasonableness of the required reparation of the evils inflicted upon our fellow. subjects remained to the Administration in Downing street but the enforcement of the claims re- jetted by the Athenian Cabinet. Admiral PARKER appeared with his squadron off the shores of Greece, to insist upon the acceptance of the terms originally offered by Mr. Wrsz, the British Ambassador. With a view to prevent all unnecas• sary. bloodshed, France, acknowledging the justice of the claim made by England,' and recognizing also the folly of the resistance made by Greece, came for ward with the tender of the good offices 'of her media tion between the belligerents. That. proposal . of a French mediation was at once and most cordially accepted by Lord PALMERSTON. Forthwith .M. Gatos was dispatched to Athens, and - the negotiations immediately afterwards com menced between the three capitals, Athens, Paris, and ... "lin, beiween - the three statesmen, _ 7 T, AHIT T E j an d PA L M B E S T O N, aided L b7 D -t n! Iheir diplomatic subordinates, Mr. WYSE respective 4anbassado and •M.

England reserved to G event R o s had d the e e Re failure ntrus o te f a the mission with which M. Now, be it remembered that the claim s of Engla n d, intimated by Mr. Wrsic in six distinct clauses, were by at the very outset acknowledged ~ all parties engaged in the labour of mediation including M. Gaos himself, that in fact theie six ' claims constituted the basis of the whole negotiation. Again did . the Greek Government most rashly, most unjustly, most insanely refuse to ! take the aforesaid claims into consideration. i Mr. Wyss had previously met with a like', ill. reception. M. GROS received from the Ministerial advisers of King Onto only similar treatment. Then it was that, having suddenly made exceptions never before hinted at in regard to one portion of the claims, those relating to M. PACIFICO, thereby attOmpt - lag of course to change the whole basis of the uego tiaticns, the French Plenipotentiary, M. Gum, on ~ ~ LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 1850. the 231 of April, acknowledged alike to the Greek Minister and to the English Ambassador that his mission was at an end, that his good offices had only resulted in the failure of the negotiations. Thereupon the British fleet, under the command of Sir WILLIAM PARKER, resumed once more its interrupted hostilities, and the Cabinet of Athens, deaf to the voice of justice, to the de mands of Mr. WYSE, and to the mediation of M. Caws, yielded to the awe inspired by the guns of our naval commander in the Mediterranean. It is objected by the assailants of Lord PALMERSTON that no such violent proceedings as these were justi• fiable until such time as communications could have been held by M. Gaos and by Mr. WYSE re spectively with the supreme Governments at Paris and at London. Such an assertion is as preposterous as it is altogether contrary to truth ; it is preposterous because it admits of not one instant's examination ; it is contrary to truth, because no such arrangement was part of the preliminary stipulations. We say this boldly and advisedly. We maintain that it is so much mere begging of the queste to assert that such an additional deipi on the part of the British Admiral and of the British Ambassador was required in point of truth or of justice, because it had been mutually ar ranged between the French and English Governments that " if an arrangement which the French mediator should deem acceptable should be rejected by the British negotiator, this latter gentleman should refer the matter to London before having again recourse to coercive measures." Such a stipulation as that is clear and comprehensible enough in its literal signification . Reference must necessarily have been made to Lon don prior to the resumption of hostilities had the mis sion of M. Gisos told in any respect upon the Greek Government. That, hOwever, it never did in the smallest particular. French interference was peremptorily re fused by the Athenian Administration. M. Gaos, no doubt, imagined it all very reasonable to propose a new basis for negotiation to the English Ambassador. But that was altogether frivolous and beside the question : his mission was at an end, the original basis of the negotiations having pro►ed ineffectual. As to the convention entered into by the higher negotiators at London, that constitutes merely an episode in the transaction, only deriving some degree of im portance from the circumstance that, in reference to it, more directly than to the late movement of events at Athens, the recall of M. DitouTs DE elixirs is attributable. Upon the naked particulars of these proceedings alone, therefore, it is manifest that Lord PALMERSTON'S policy may count most confidently for its vindication. We are at length enabled to understand the true value of the assertions that have been put forward in Ireland as to the unanimous opposition that would be offered by the Irish representatives, and persons of all classes and varieties of political opinion, to the Minis terial project for the abolition of the Lord Lieu. tenancy. The most extravagant statements were made as to the injury that would be thereby in flicted on the sister kingdom. " Then, indeed, would its degradation be completed." It would for ever "forfeit its nationality, and be reduced to the,, condition of a palt r y p rov i nc e," and "e ve ry Irish heart would thrill with honest in dignation at the wanton insult thus recklessly flung upon their native land." "Whig and Tory, Radical and Conservative, Protectionist and Free-trader, Re pealer and Orangeman, would for once become united in a sacred bond, to repel the meditated ont• rage." Such were the promised results of the mea sure about to be forced upon Parliament and the country by the Government. But simple facts by no means bore out these grandiloquent assertions. A few meetings were held in Dublin where some parties who fancied that the withdrawal of the Viceregal salary might occasion some loss to the shopkeepers and lodging-house keepers of the Irish metropolis, made flaming speeches against the project, in which they were supported by a few professional agitators who had formerly de nounced, in the strongest and most unequivocal lan guage, " the sink of corruption,'" as they were pleased to term the Castle establishment, and who had strenu ously declaimed against the back-stairs' intrigue" and " underhand influence" . that were in constant operation. These gentlemen, who, like BYRON'S attorney— " So there were quarrels, cared not for the cause," were utterly indifferent to anything like consistency, or to the real merits of the question. All they de sired was to get up a good workipg grievan ce , by _ _ which the Anglo-Irish Government could be da waged and the popular mind inflamed. Tney were satisfied, if an additional argument could be obtained in favour of " repeal," a question on 'which the great body of the people had recently become perfectly indifferent and apathetic. But, notwithstanding this unexpected adhesion, the meetings, even in Dublin, passed off flatly enough, and there was not half the ex citement which, in the olden time, would have followed a polemical discussion in the Rotunda—a set to between a brace of theological champions—or, in fact, a " row" upon almost any question of foreign or domestic policy. The ordinary characteristic of the Celtic race was no longer to be observed, and the worthy inhabitants of the "fair citie of Dublin" maintained a strange neutrality and indifference on a subject which was to destroy their commerce and involve the trading and mercantile interests of the town in absolute ruin. But, if the relideats on the banks of he Liffey were comparatively tranquil on ;his - momentous question, and the attempt to get up a "deeent agitation," turned out a total failure, the utter carelessness in the provinces was still more remarkable. A dozen persons could not be induced to assemble together in any of the smaller towns. Even those most strongly imbued with the cacoelhes loquendi—a disease rather prevalent at the other aide of St. G eo rge's Channel, could n o t " ge t up the steam "t o th e " s p ea ki ng point." No " pres sure from Without " could be brought to bear on the Imperial Legislature. The sole hope, then, rested on ,the Irish representatives. They would mark their sense of the " unstatesmanlike and im politic measure." Members from Ulster, Munster, Connaught, and Leinster would combine to resist the introduction of the Bill, and some, at least of the number, would form a "Spartan band," ready and willing " to die upon the floor of the House," while opposing this unwarrantable aggression upon their national. rights. To do justice to the Committee, nothing was omitted that could conduce to this most desirable end -- this " consummation so devoutly to be wished for." Circulars wererdispatched 'to every individual Member, calling on him, by.the allegiance which he owed to his country, to be in his place on the occa sion, and warning him that " Ireland expected that every man would do .his duty." The division .lists on Friday evening will best show in what manner these stirring appeals were responded to. The Hon. Gentleman the Member for Clonmel first moved the adjournment of , the debate, which was negatived by an overwhelming majority, 213 having voted against and only 19 in favour of the postponement. One English Member. and • one only, voted in the minority, and we congratulate the malcontents on the moral strength they have acquired in the adhesion of the Honourable and Gallant Colonel the Member for Lincoln. Although defeated, however, they were not discouraged, and another of the Spartans, ac . a sacrifice by proposing that "the House do now cording to the approved precedent, offered hims e lf as ad journ." This course, however, elicited so many re monstrancer, and excited such general disapprobation, that the Honourable Gentleman eventuAy consi dered " discretion to be the better part of valour," and withdrew his inoti?n ! Another division then took place on the question that " leave be given to bring in the Bill," which was carried-by a majority of ten to one-17 gentlemen only h av i ng vote d i n the minority, Colonel Sturnoap having received the adhesion of another English re presentative, and 15 Irish Members joining in the opposition, while no less than 29 gentlemen, repre senting some of the most numerous and influential provincial constituencies, gave in their adhesion to the measure. Thus, then, ends the ludicrous farce that has been enacted. It is manifest that if the Bill depended on the votes of Irish Members alone, it would be car tied by a decisive majority. Ireland will speedily be rendered, " as she ought to be," an integral portion of the British empire, entitled to all the rights and privileges (,f this—heretofore—more favoured portion of that which was formerly called, but will now really become, " the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland." 'The House of Commons meets to-morrow, and the third reading of the Elections (Ireland) Bill stands second on the paper. Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL has given notice that he shall propose the addition of a clause enacting that in all future elections in Ireland votes shall be taken by ballot. We urge upon every Reform Member the absolute necessity of being in his place to-morrow night to support the motion of Mr. MAURICE O*CONNELL. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris Journals of yesterday. The Minister of the Interior, in announcing by te legraphic dispatch to the Prefects of the Departments , the return of M. DROUYN Da L'Hurs, adds, "Every thing seems to assure us that, notwithstanding this incident, the harmony between France and England will not be troubled." The patriotism of the reactionary partisans of the Russian alliance, who so indecently cheered the announcement by General DE LAHITTE of the recall of M. DROUYN DE L'Hurs, is manifested by the followin g extract f rom one o f their journals, in which they positively invoke a Cossack invasion, and express o desire for the defeat of the French armies. The following passage occurs in several of the reactionary journals furnished them by their Paris correspondent :—" Many representatives of the Moun tain have manifested fears of a foreign invasion. The 1,500,000 men that the powers of the north keep under arms are of a nature to frighten them. They well know that Europe will not permit for a single moment the triumphant extension of the revolutionary principle, not even in France. These numerous troops are a burden upon the treasury of these powers. It will be absolutely necessary to spread them over important points, where the Democracy may show itself menacing. "This idea alarms the Socialists, because' they feel that our levies of troops, how energetic soever they may be, will b e powerless against troops regularly organised, used to battl e , an d w h o h ave r e c en tly acqu i re d on th e battle-field s of Hungary the habit and the experience of war." The Republique thus denounces the Royalist con spiracy, to the success of which the rupture of the English alliance is necessary. It says— " All the preparations which foreign powers are mak ing against France the Government is making against Paris. If the reactionary journals are to be belie'', d, plans are being drawn up, not to defend the frontier, but to teach the army how it is to employ sapping and mining a ga i ns t the population of P ar i s , andthe colonels who are go i ng to hold garrison at Ly ons d ec l are , w i t h out circumlocution, to their men that they lead them against the enemy. It is too evident, in fact, that the enemy is at home and the friends abroad. It is high time to give the word of this eaignta. There exists, it is said, a plan of restoration in France and of territorial remodelling in Europe, conceived under the patronage Of Russia, and of which all that we see for the last year is only the pro gressive realisation. The reconciliation of the two branches of the Bourbon family is the pivot of this combina tion. It is affirmed that Austria, recognising the impos sibility of maintsing herself in Italy, would consent to receive in exchange the Danubian provinces; that Russia would round her territory on the north by Hanover, and the neighbouring principalities; that Henry V. being restored would bring to France, in return for her liber ties, abolished for the gain of the clergy and the nobility, some territorial indemnification, and that the Orleans branch would find in Italy brilliant compensations fer the loss of the crown of France. If the share of Itassia is not yet spoken of the reason is that she cannot enter on possession unless the co-operation of France is ob tained for her. As it is impossible that England can con sent to such arrangements, a war a outrunee by Europe against England is looked for, a war during which he French and Russian fleets united together shall expel the English vessels from the Mediterranean, and allow the Czar to seize on Constantinople. Is the lat. commencement of rupture with England now comprehended ? There remains an immense difficulty—France has not been consulted,, and they cannot hope to have her consent. Oa the other side the French army m i g h t b e an insur mountable obstacle. However disciplined it may be, they doubt that it would serve as an advance-guard to the Prussians, and open to them the gates of France. That is the reason why an insurrection is re quired. With an insurrection the army is separated from the population, a state of siege is pro claimed, and foreign powers would be considered only as an auxiliary of order. The agents of the Go vernments would provoke the disorder. M. Changer nier would put it down, and then the burgess-class would be told that a monarchy was necessary, and if the country appeared inclined to rise, seven or eight hundred thousand bayonets would be shown drawn up on the other side of the frontier. But then, again, there is the President. Of two things one—either the Presi dent will, by an energetic determination to throw off the apathy in which he is plunged, or the overtures made by M. Berryer to Colonel Laborde, and attested by the letter of MM. Aubert, F. Adam, and Bouillon, will Lave met with a favourable reception. However that may be, let there be no disturbance! no collision between the pople and the arm) ! The army does not know what it is required to do; it would comprehend it, perhaps, when ti e Prussians should be seen crossing the frontier. The safety of the Republic is henceforward in the union of the people and the army; all the forces of the country are not too much against invasions from abroad and con spiracies at home." The Siècle, in speaking of the precipitate recall of M. DROUYN DR L'HUYS says— " IVe receive f ro m a ll sides information which tends to establish that the Cabinet, on the question of the in• terruption of diplomatic relations has shown as much ignorance and indecorum, autant dignorance que d'incou venience." The same journal having examined such facts as are patent to the public, adds— " Reflecting men - affirm, that the susceptibility shown on the subject of the Greek affair is mere humbug, em ployed for• the sake of diverting public attention from the electoral law, and thus while they are fraudulently pilfering the rights of the nation, making it be believed that they are engaged in defending its dignity; such a combination would be trop ignoble et trop bete. Let us be pardoned fo so coarse an expres sion. Ministers who would play such a game as this ought not to be merely dismissed—they would be hunted from power by universal contempt. There is certainly the example of M. Leon Faucher, who, after being ignominiously thrust from power, returns now as if proud of his fall.—such an.example is calculated to en courage strange hopes. We would, however, beg to remind M. Lahitte and his colleagues, that it is not in presence of the Constituent Assembly this Minister raises his head—but before that of the actual Assembly which expelled him. Once snore we say, that the situa tion is of a grave kind; yes, as grave as the Government affirms it to be, and we shall soon see arise more vast plans and 'more vigorous parties. Should it turn out, however, to be what we now look on as impossible, that the Cabinet will acknowledge that it obeyed an unre flecting susceptibility, and that consequently it must yield—oh! then,' however profoundly effected may be the dignity of France, - yet a noble and brave people will, according to the constitution and the law, submit until Mat, 1852, to a Government perfectly unworthy of them." The Patrie states that a joint note bad been ad dressed by Austria andzher Suzerain Russia to Lord PALMERSTON on the subject of the settlement of the Greek stair, not for the purpose of protesting against the "fait accompli," but to notify to his Lordship that, as his understanding of the protection due to British subjects residing in foreign states involves for those states such ;grave inconveniences, R uss i a and Austria will only permit English subjects to reside in their states.on condition that they should renounce the protection Of their own Government. It is said, that during his recent abscence fr om Paris M. DUPIN paid a visit to Claremont. This vi s it must have been contemporaneous with the recall of M. DROUTN na L'HtJTs. Was there any connexion between the two? The Assembly met yesterday, and several p e titi ons, with upwards; f 100,000 signaturys attached to them, were presented against the Electoral Bill. The question of urgency of the Bi l l w as then put, and opposed by M. LAGRANGE and M. DEF LOTTE , b ut was carried on urgency , 461 ;. against it, 9,a division by a m a jority of 222, the numbers being-for The general discussion on the Bill was then opened. General. Cavaignac considered that the articles of the Constitution relating to universal suffrage were so clear as to admit of no dou b t as to their me an i ng, years,. s * which and ia p w o a s s s e t s h s a i o t allh of fFtrheenicrhmcievnil g o ' r ights, the ht s age of 21 y were entitled to vote. The present Bill altered the essential prin ciples of the Constitution in this respect by creating conditions which the Constituent Assembly never con-. templaled when they adopted a clause having for ob ject to regulate the exercise of this right. The Bill would, in fact, serve to revive that well-known distinc tion of the pays legal, as the restricted class of elec tors existing before the revolution of February was called, and which that revolution had, by decreeing universal suffrage, confounded in the general mass of citizens. The present Bill he looked upon to be ill timed and dangerous. 111-timed, because it would have fir effect to raise for the next two years insur mountable difficulties in the way of government, and dangerous because it would serve to nieke and conso lidate a hostile party composed of all thane who should feel that they had been unjustly deprived of privileges that bad been conferred upon them by the constitu tion. The population so deprived of privileges would probably be led that they would be justified to win them back by force of arms, and ho wever such a notion might be discouraged by all lovers of order, yet who could henceforth feet satisfied that the door to revolution bad not been reopened, which it had been the aim of universal suffrage to close for ever. Those who, like him, had resolved on opposing this law had been honoured with hard nailing, such as "demagogue" and " enemy of the public good." They who were so liberal of such names ought to recollect that they had been equally lavished against the Liberals of 1830, and even the members of the dynastic oppo‘ition had, previously to the revolution of 1848, been denounced in a similar fashion. He would not, however, indulge further in persoznil al lusions. They should rather think of ideas and principles; and, looking towards the future in that light, he felt confident that such would make their way in spite of all obstacles. He would accordingly persevere in his course consistently. He opposed the Bill. The Gallant General resumed his seat amidst loud cheers from the Left. M. Desselours de Chauvin replied, but he spoke in so low a tone as to be almost inaudible. M. Victor Hugo next delivered a glowing and poetic panegyric on universal suffrage. At first the Right received each phrase with shouts of derisive laughter, but the honourable gentleman having de nounced such premeditated interruptions, he was cllowed to proceed with little renewal of such con duct. After praising the people for the manner in which they had exercised their suffrage, he referred to the provocations employed by the authorities, say ing, we beheld the extra o rdi nar y spec t ac l e o f a peop l e calm and of a Government exciting to outrage. His speech was greatly cheered by the Left, but laughed at by the Right. The debate continued at post hour. PARIS BOURSE, TUESDAY, MAY 21.

The Corn Market is quiet io The St. Catherine's (Caen,' a) Journal stat-s:— " Though the op. fling of the Welland Cartel and lb, fleet of vessels passieg through it, give the appearance of an early season, yet the face of nature is barren and cheerless. On the 14th April last year it was very cold, the ice was two inches thick on the water-butts, the water in the bed-rooms was frozen over It appears, therefore, that hoary winter made its exit this season about the same period as he did last year. The lust snow in 1849 tell on the 14th April, and this year on the same day of the same mouth. " Whilst speaking of the seasons in Upper Canada, and comparing one year with another, it may not be irrelevant to inquire whether the winter', in this part of the province, are really of longer duration than they are in the south of England, er heater it is merely that they are less open, that we have in general more snow, and that the mercury in the thermometer ranges lower. We believe that the winters in this part of Ca nada are not of greater length, and that vegetation is not mere backward than in England. " We contend, from observations made both in England and in Canada, that the :disparity be tween the climate of the two countries is much less than is generally imagined, and that settlers corning out into this part of the province will not find a Canadian winter such a frightful thing as it is often represented to be. It is true that the extremes of heat and cold are greater, and our severest weather generally falling in in February, the operations of the husbandman are often impeded by the ground being frost-bound later than in England ; but bountiful nature makes amends fur this by the almost instantaneous bursting forth of vegetation wbeu the last remains of winter are driven away by the genial rain and vernal sun of April. By daily observations, carefully made at the same hour in the vicinity of London, and in this district, it has been found that the mean cold has in some winters been severer there than here, and during the past season the quantity of snow that has fallen in Great Britain and the continent of Europe has very far exceeded anything we have heard of in this country."_ Sydney accounts of the 15th December have been re ceived, but they are not later.

A Madrid - letter of the 16th says :—" In conse quence of the receipt of news from London, announc ing the resumption of diplomatic relations and the nomination of Lord HOWDRN to the embassy of Madrid, with Mr. OTTWAT (who has long resided in this capital) as first secretary, M. DR ISTURITZ has had a long conference with M. PIDAL, Minister of Foreign Affairs. M. DE ISTURITZ will probably be again sent to London. Lord HOWDRN will only leave London about the 15th June. It is believed that before his departure for London, M. DE IsTu- Raz will receive instructions relative to the arrange ment of the debt :of such a character as to satisfy the holders of Spanish stock. The Special Tribunal of Madrid, for the trial of 'offences of the press, has condemned M. GARRIDO to a fine of 50,000 reals (12,500 f.), and the costs, for publishing a prospectus of a people's bank, which is considered as an excite ment to communism and division of property. The same tribunal has acquitted the editor of the Clamor Publico, on a charge of attacking the royal dignity. During the last forty-eight hours the rain has been falling in torrents ; for sixteen years there has not been such a deluge." MADRID BOLcA, MAT 16.—Three per Cents., 32 for account; Five per Cents., 13 paper. Exchange on London, 50 25. GERMANY. The Independence of Brussels, in its summary of German news, says :—" According to our correspond ence from Berlin of the 18th, the Princes of the Union will send their plenipotentiaries to Frankfurt, with instructions tending to admit nothing definitive for the constitution of the Confederation before the formal recognition of the Union, but authorising them- to take part in a provisional solution. The disaccord between Prussia and Austria may now be summed up in this question: Will Count de THUNN be or not be admitted as President of the Congress ? This question combines all the others. It is not expected at Frankfort that the Congress now assembled in that city will come to any serious or de finitive solution. The accounts which have reached us from Hamburgh and Altona all agree in stating that an amicable arrangement appears imposSible, and that a resumption of hostilities is imminent in the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein. The last Prussian Envoy, M. DE BELOW, only remained 24 hours at Copenhagen; he returned to Berlin on the 18th, taking with him, it is said, the " ultimatum" of Denmark. We know not what is meant by this " ultimatum." Is it relative to an arrangement with the Duchies, or only with Prussia ? In the first case, it is known that Prussia is decided on not taking any further part in the struggle, and on leav ing the Duchies and Denmark to settle their quarrel amongst themselves. In the second case, it appears unintelligible that the Danish Cabinet does not show more willingness to settle her differences with Prussia at a time when the field is open for her to act as she thinks proper in the Duchies. It h announced, in fact, that the Prussian and Swedish troops have al ready commenced their movements, in order to allow the Danish army to occupy in the Duchies such posi tions as may be thought most favourable for future operations. A speedy invasion of the Duchies by that army may be therefore expected." The Emperor of AUSTRIA, on the 14th, laid the first stone of the railway station at Trieste, in pre sence of all the authorities and the National Guards. He afterwards visited the different public buildings, and the vessels of war anchored in the port. The next day the Municipal Council presented an address of congratulation to the EMPEROR, and his MAJESTY, who spoke in Italian, replied by thanking the in habitants of the city for the brilliant reception they had given him, which, he said, was a proof that their ancient ioyalty to his family continued undiminished. The Dresden Gazette, of the 16th, says that the King of SAXONY is about to proceed to Warsaw to attend a Congress of Sovereigns, which is to be held in that city under the presidency of .the Emperor of RUSSIA. Some Copenhagen journals of ths 16th announce positively that peace has been concluded between Denmark and Prussia; but others state that negotia• Lions are still in progress, on the last basis proposed by Prussia, namely, that the rights of Germany in the Duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg shall be reserved, and that the Provisional Government of Holstein shall retire, and be replaced by one nominated by the King of DRNMARL ITALY. General GEMBAU arrived at Rome on the 18th, and assumed the command of the French garrison. DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FOR THE ISLE OF WIG}II. 'rum DAY.—Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, accomkanied by their seven illustrious children, and attended by the Lady of the Bedchamber-in-Waiting, Major-General Wemyss, Equerry to the Queen, and the Hon. Colonel Charles Grey, Secretary to the Prince, and a limited suite, left Buckingham Palace this afternoon at two o'clock for the Royal Iklarine Palace, Osborne, East Cowes. The royal cortege occupied s'x carriages, and was escorted to the south Western Railway Terminus by' n officer's party of the 16th Lancers, en route to Gosport, where the Sovereign and firnily will embark on board the Fairy royal yacht, Captain Lord A. Fitzclarence, attended by the Elfin dispatch boat, under the usual salutes for Osborne Pier. The Queen looked well, and the Court is expected to remain at Osborne until the 18th of the ensuing month. Mr. Alderman Farebrother returned to London yesterday morning from Paris, after a rapid visit to view the Chateau de Val, one of the finest estates in Auvergne, which has been entrusted to the worthy Alderman for sale. Mr. Lumley Rave a dinner yesterday, at his resi dence, the Chancellors, to MAL Scribe and Halevy.

THE VirnATuurt.—The mean height of the ba rometer in the last week at the Royal Observatory, Green wich. was 29.817 in. ; the mean temperatnre was 49.2 degas less than the average of the same week in seven years by 3.2 degs. On three days of the week—namely, Tuesday, Wed nesday, and Thursday, the mean temperatures were so much as from 6 to 9 degrees below the average of the several days.. EVENINGS IN MAT.—Nrhaps the sweetest hour of a sweet season is that which precedes the setting of the sun upon a May-day. 'All the world is taking holiday, from the lowing herd that winds slowly o'er the lea to the shard-born beetle, and the large white moth. The aspect of the sky and earth too - clear, calm, and tranquil Are full of repose. The mistiness of the mid-day sunshine is away; and the very absence of a portion of the full daylight, and the thin, colourless transParency.of the evening air, afford that con templative. but no way drowsy charm which well precedes, by thought, tendency to adoration, the hour when, in dark ness and forgetfulness, we trust ourselves unconscious to the hands of God. The heart of man is but as an instrument from which the great musician Nature produces grand tar monies; and the most soothing anthem that rises within the breast is surely elici ed by the soft touch of that evening hour.—Eliza.eook's Journal. READING OP SUARSPERE.—A reading of the Merchant of Venice was last night given by Mr. Ettershank to the members, patrons, and friends of the Marylebone and Paddington Literary and Scientific Institution. Mr. Etter *beak possesses a fine judgment, taste, and a correct delivery —qualities which admirably adapt him as a dramatic reader and he last night displayed the versatility of hi s powers to great advantage iu this highly-finished comedy, eliciting throughout the reading just meeds of hearty approba tion. The announcement of his third and last reading, King John, on Monday next, was received with loud applause.
