The Diet, which has already been convoked for the 2d of April, in conjunction with my people, presents the ready medium and legal organ for the deliverance and pacification of Germany. On the 21st, the King appeared on horseback in Palace Court. He wore the German colours on his arms, and he was surrounded by the princes and ministers, also wearing the German colours. He was received with great joy by the people on his appearance, and spoke as follows to the assen,lo rented crowd:- - - - "It is no usurpation on my part to feel that I am called to save°German freedom and unity. I swear that it is not my intention to dethrone any German prince.; but I wish to ensure the freedom and unity of Germany, which must be guarded by German faith, and the establishment of a constitution, popular, German, and constitutional. At another part of the day, while addressing the people, some one cried out—" Long live the Emperor of Ger many'!" " Not so, (replied the king,) I desire no such power. I merely place myself at the head of the entire people, to ensure for Germany freedom, unity, and order." The Prince of Prussia has been forced to leave Berlin. The people have openly demanded that he should resign all claim to the throne. EXPULSION OF THE JESUITS FROM NAPLES CURIOUS ROBBERY.—A few nights since, a farmer's cow-house, in the neighbourhood of Lisronagh, was entered and the hair of the tails of several cows shaved off and carried away.—Tipperary Constitution. EXECUTIONS.—The culprit O'Donohoe, convicted of the murder of the Rev. Mr. Lloyd, was executed at Ros common gaol, on Wednesday. John Darcy, convicted of the murder of John Smith, on the Cashel Railway, un derwent, on Thursday, the extreme penalty of the law in front of Maryborough-gaol. RUMOURED DESIGN TO ASSASSINATE LORD CLAREN- DoN.—lt is stated that his Excellency Lord Clarendon received, some days previous to the memorable 17th, an anonymous letter, informing him that he was to be fired at in St. Patrick's Hall during the ball. This circum stance—much more naturally than any apprehension of an emeute—would account for the extreme anxiety appa rent throughout the evening in his Excellency's counte nance.—Dublin Herald. DISTURBANCES IN BALLYNAHINCR.—About eight or nine o'clock on Thursday morning, a large body of per sons, belonging to the Repeal party, entered the town, wit' , drums and flags, and were met by the Protestant party, who broke the drums and tore the flags, and a general melee ensued, in which one man had his hand severely wounded, by a shot. However, a portion of dragoons soon arrived, and peace and tranquility were restored. MYSTERIOUS MURDER.-A woman, named Fitzpatrick, was barbarously murdered in her own house, near Kilcash, Tipperary, on Wednesday, under mysterious circum stances. Her husband, on returning to his house on that evening, found the door locked, and forcing an entrance, found his wife lying dead on the floor, her head chopped to pieces with a hatchet, which lay near her. The unfortunate woman was far advanced in pregnancy. An inquest was held on the body, but no clew found to the murderer. o be tt he second reading i he should on s would be distributed torious .circulai• of M. Ledru Rollin has not proved see here ,ed for it. M save France. great and g CONVICTION.—At Kilkenny assizes, Thomas Browne, and Patrick Shea, have been sentenced to death for the murder of Mr. Prim. Shea received the awful announce ment in silence, having merely beaten his breast whilst the last words, " May the Lord have mercy on your souls," were being pronounced ; but Browne exclaimed in loud accents—" I lay my death upon the turnkey, and the late gaoler, whose soul is now burning in the pits of hell." This ;hocking exclamation created a sensation of horror in iliPsemixt silence,.and observed to the Court that he had one request to make, which was, that his body might be given to his friends. Judge Crampton explained that the law would not permit a compliance with his re quest. The prisoners were then removed, and whilst crossing the dock, Shea was heard to observe—" It is too bad that innocent men should die." THE ORANGEMEN OF ULSTER.—The Protestant yeo manry of the north, deprived as they have been of those privileges which they had been taught to consider as a birth-right, vilified by the press, and irritated by pecuniary distress, have yet not cast aside the old watchwords of their loyalty. We are no admirers of the opinions or principles of Orangemen. We deprecate the smallest shadow of a return to principles of " asecndancy ; " yet, in smple justice to a body of men who have stood boldly by what they thought right, and in doing so have done good service to the state, we cannot but hope that when the present crisis shall have passed away, it may not be forgotten that, at a time when the services of every honest man in Ireland are required in defence of law and order, the Protestant peasantry of Ulster have been among the foremost to stand forward in defence of " Queen and con stitution."—Morning Chronicle, Whig paper. PROSECUTION OF REPEALERS.—On Tuesday, informa tions were sworn at the head Police-office, Dublin, against William Smith O'Brien. Esq., M.P., John Mitchell, Esq., and Thomas Frances Meagher. Mr. Parker, the chief magistrate, waited upon Mr. Smith O'Brien, at his lodg ings, in Westland-row, who saw and took hi's " parole" to appear the next morning at the head office. Notwith standing this very important proceeding quietness pre vailed, and the city was never morn tranquil. On Wednes day, the three parties attended at the Police Court to en ter into bail, to take their trials next term for seditious writing and speaking. After the sureties tendered had been accepted, the traversers left the court, followed by a large concourse, who vociferously cheered! them into D'Olier-street, where . the three gentlemen delivered speeches to about four thousand persons. Mr. O'Brien pledged himself to say and do more than ever to procure for Ireland her native parliament. Mr. Mitchell declared that he would continue to write week after week, articles for the purpose of creating discontent and disaffection among the Irish people ; and Mr. Meagher said that he was not afraid to meet the hirelings of the bloody govern ment in the Queen's Bench or in a wider field. AWFUL DEMORALIZATION.—The Sligo Journal con tains a report of a trial of several persons for the murder of a man named Burke, including among the conspira tors his own wife • ' and few can read the proceedings without being actuated with feelings of horror at the pic ture of demoralization which it presents. The wife and her brothers conspired to commit the deed, and according to the evidence of two of the children of the deceased, " the entire family knelt down to pray !" to call, as one of them said, a " blessing on the deed," preparatory to its committal! ! There are historical evidences to show that people who commit murder in cold blood shudder at the act, and feel remorse of conscience after the perpe tration of the deed. There are others who murder pro fessionally, like the Indian Thugs, who fear neither God nor man ; and there be many who- shed blood through passion and the impulse of revenge ; but this is the first time we have ever heard of an entire family kneeling down to pray for " the blessing of the Almighty" on the san guinary deed they were preparing to commit on a near relative ! ! It is a fearful picture of the demoralization of some portion of our cour.trymen ; and frightful as the picture is, it demands our attention more particularly, as it manifests a species of coolness and religious fanaticism unparalleled in the history of our country.—Carlow Sen tinel. THE DUBLIN MEETING ON MONDAY. — The meeting called by the Young Irelanders, for the purpose of voting an address of sympathy to the French nation, was held on Monday, but seems to have proved a failure, as the numbers that attended were small, and the speeches were somewhat less violent than might have been expected from the seditious language used by many of the speakers in former writings and speeches. Mr. John Mitchell. of the United Irishman, who said he was desirous of restraining himself, and would allow nothing to escape him that could interfere with the cordial unanimity which they should show on that occasion moved an address to the French people. This document said that the meet ing addressed the citizens of the French republic as slaves should address freemen, and begged them to look on the sufferings of the eldest and most persecuted sister of their common Celtic race with commiseration and sor row. The address was of course carried, and Mr. R. O'Gorman moved a resolution, that the laws of the British legislature are not in conscience binding upon the Irish people. and resistance or obedience to its authority is a question of expediency, not of duty. This resolution was also passed, as was another, advocating the assembly of a council of three hundred, which was moved by Mr. M'Gee, and seconded by Mr. Meagher, who said that they must trample on the convention act ; and that if one drop of blood were shed by the armed government, a thousand would be shed in England, and all the workhouses would be burnt to the ground.— Mr. O'Donohue then moved the adoption of an address, calling on the Queen to re store the Irish parliament. This address was carried ; and after a speech from Mr. Smith O'Brien,—who thought that it would be advisable to defer the demand for an Irish national guard until his return from Paris, when he could consult the French provisional govern ment respecting the best mode of organising such a body, — the meeting terminated. COURT AND FASHION. Her Majesty and the infant Princess have progressed so satisfactorily that no bulletin was issued after Friday last. The Prince and Princess Joinville, with the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale, and their families, arrived at Dart mouth in the French Government steamer Solon, from Lisbon. on Tuesday. They proceeded in two carriages and four to the Totness station of the South Devon Rail way, and took their departure for Maidenhead, whence they posted to Claremont. Prince Joinville and the Duke d'Aurnale arrived at Buckingham Palace on Wednes day, and had an audience with Prince Albert. STOKE PARK.,—The splendid mansion and park at Stoke, near Slough, which belonged to a dccendant of the celebrated William Penn, has just been purchased, by private contract, of Mr. Grenville Penn for X 62,000, by the _ ight Hon. Henry Labouchere, the President of the Board of Trade. It was, a short time since, expected it would be purchased for the Duchess of Kent as her Royal Highness's future residence, Prince Albert and other members of the royal family having inspected the mansion and extensive grounds. The duchess, however, has no intention at present of removing from Frogmore-house, near Windsor. LORD HARDINGE AT HOME.—Ort Thursday the quiet village of Penshurst, famous as the birth place of the gallant Sir Philip Sidney, presented a gay and animated scene. Lord Hardinge, whose seat, South-park, is in the neighbourhood, arrived with his family from London, about three o'clock ' • and as this was his lordship's first visit since his . returnfrom India, the inhabitants one and all assembled near the fine old church, to bid him a welcome, which they did in the most enthusiastic manner. The Rev. Mr. Dodd, the rector, read a congratulatory address, to which Lord Hardinge replied at once, evidently much gratified by the cheers of the inhabitants. gave a stra to him CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. The late Miss Catherine Wood has bequeathed a muni ficent legacy of £lOOO to the Incorporated Society for promoting the enlargement, building, and repairing of Churches and Chapels. A gentleman, not now resident in Bradford, but con nected by property with the parish, has contributed £6,000 towards the increase of the church accommoda tion in that parish. Towards the endowment of two churches he has given £2,500 each, and £5OO each-towards their erection. AGITATION.—A correspondent assures us that he has been credibly informed that there was, a week or two back, great activity at Wells, in endeavouring to get up a protest against the confirmation of our ex.:ellent Arch bishop of Canterbury. indeed, our correspondent asserts that he knows one clergyman who " repelled a private circular addressed to him on that subject."—Church and State Gazette. THE DEAN OF HEREFORD AGAIN.—It is stated that the Dean of Hereford has appealed to the archbishop, as superior visitor of the cathedral church of Hereford, and meanie sede sole visitor, to determine whether oaths taken on the installation of bishops, deans. and preben daries are binding, or merely formal qualifications for office ? Whether, if binding, the statutes of that cathedral are to be observed ?—and, if so, whether the asserted election of the 28th December, 1847, can be valid ? respectfully requesting him to surcease from consecration until this question and appeal shall be duly settled. The Archbishop of Canterbury has been elected Presi dent of the Corporation of the Sons of the Clergy, in the place of the late Primate. His Grace's enthronement at Canterbury has been deferred, the ceremony of doing homage to her Majesty being necessary in order to put him in possession of the temporalities of the See. His Grace is Primate for all spiritual purposes of all England, but his right to the enjoyments of the temporalities of his office is still in abeyance. It is singular that so many events should have lately occurred, tending to analyze and exhibit the position of the Church and its dignitaries in relation to the State. The new Archbishop of Canterbury has determined on making the palace of the late lord primate, at Addington, his summer residence. His grace paid it a visit on Tues day last, inspected the house and grounds, and made friendly calls on the villagers, whom he congratulated on their neat and comfortable appearance, and addressed in terms of great kindness and encouragement. His grace has taken a considerable portion of the stock on the estate, and has re-appointed the whole of the out-door servants POLITICAL MISCELLANY. Viscount Mandeville, son of the Duke of Manchester, has come forward as a candidate for the representation of Bewdley. • DERBY ELECTION.—The committee have decided that Mr. Strutt and Mr. Gower were not duly elected, and that the last election was a void election. _ _ The Globe noticed Lord J. Russell's speech on Tuesday as the music of the swan (which is said to sing when it is dying.) - 11OrisffAm.—The parliamentary committee have de clared John Jervis, Esq., not duly elected, and that by his agents he was guilty of bribery at the late election. THE GAME LAWS.—Mr. Colville's bill has been read a second time. Its principal feature is to enable occupiers of land to kill hares on the same, without a game cer tificate. AYLESBURY.—The committee came on Tuesday to a decision, declaring Lord Nugent duly elected, an d unseat ing Mr. J. P. Deering, on the ground that he was, by his agents, guilty of treating. - In the Itouse of Commons, on Friday, Mr. Hudson complained that the Chancellor of the Exchequer never • htforward answer to questions that were put MONMOUTHSHIRE ELECTION.—The election for this county took place on Friday. There was no opposition to Captain Somerset, who was returned. The hon. and gal lant gentleman was proposed by J. E. W. Rolls, Esq., and seconded by Samuel Homfray, Esq. There is no truth in the report that the Duke and Duchess of Montpensier had been ordered to quit London by the English Government. They left in consequence of an invitation to Madrid, brought by the Duke d'Ahu mada from the Queen of Spain to her unfortunate sister. It is generally- understood that the present Solicitor-' General, Sir David Dundas, will be appointed to the office of principal clerk to the House of Lords, vacant by the sudden death of the late lamented Mr. Currey. It is also: rumoured that either Mr. Watson or Mr. Romilly, the son of the late Sir Samuel Romilly, and the present mem ber for Devonport, will be appointed Solicitor-General in the room of Sir David Dundas. A meeting of Roman Catholics was held in London on Monday, when the following resolution was moved by Mr. Lucas, the proprietor of the Tablet newspaper. It was to the following effect :—" That the meeting views with the greatest distrust the bill to enable her Majesty to es tablish diplomatic relations with the holy see, in conse quence of the sentiments notoriously entertained by the majority of the members of the legislature to make use of the holy see for their own purposes in this country, but particularly in Ireland." The resolution was seconded by Ward, Esq., late a clergyman of the Established Church, and carried unanimously. Other resolutions condemnatory of the measure were passed. Among the several speakers who addressed the meeting was Mr. Thos. Steele, the faithful associate and co-agitator of the late Mr. O'Connell. DR. BOWRING OUTWITTED.—III the Commons, on Thursday, when the house had becouie `tadde - irith the" debate on Mr. Bright's motion for the repeal of the game laws, a member moved the adjournment of the debate, which was negatived by a majority of 87 to 82. Qn this Dr. Bowring observed, that as it was a most unusual thing to refuse to adjourn a debate when the motion to that effect was supported by 80 members, and as the ma jority iri this instance, moreover, was so small, he felt himself justified in moving now that the house do adjourn. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear," from Mr. Thompson and hon. gentlemen in his neighbourhood.) Mr. Bagge, amid answering cheers from the opposition benches, at once seconded the motion. The Speaker volubly put the question, declared that the ayes had it, and immediately left the chair. Roars of laughter were heard from all sides of the house, for the consequence of this proceeding was to render the motion " for leave to bring in a bill" a dropped order; and it would appear that the hon. and learned :nember for Bolton had not anticipated such a result, and was therefore palpably out-manoeuvred. The house, amid much merriment, at once adjourned. RAILWAY AFFAIRS. THE BIRMINGAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION RAILWAY. —On Thursday the adjourned meeting of the proprietors of this 'company was held at the Adelphi Hotel. P. H. Muntz, Esq. occupied the chair, and regretted that the differences which existed had not been amicably settled while he was absent on the continent.—Mr. Dobie read a long report relative to the agreement made by the com pany with the Great Western Co. He had called on the latter company to deliver the securities to those share holders who had paid up. The reply was a reference to the chancery suits pending. The Great Western were willing to perform the agreement (they said) according to its real construction. He had accordingly taken the suit off the file in chancery, but the Great Western had subse quently obtained an order to amend their bill, and the amendments went to give it a totally different complexion —rendering all amicable arrangement hopeless.—Mr. L. Heyworth thought the Oxford line would be of no use to the Great Western unless the broad guage were put upon it, and moved that the meeting should authorise the di rectors to aid the Great Western Company in obtaining from parliament the broad guage on the Birmingham and Oxford railway.—Mr. E. Mozley seconded the motion, but it could not be put, as no notice had been given.— Mr. E. J. Mozley then proposed to petition parliament to the effect that certain bills before parliament, on behalf of the Great Western Railway Company, did not contain such clauses as were necessary for the purpose of carrying out their agreement. This was adopted unanimously. The chairman said he would do his utmost to bring about an amicable arrangement, and several shareholders ex pressed their confidence in his exertions.—Finally, —the meeting was adjourned to the Ist of April, at Dee's Hotel, Birmingham ; and the general meeting, which was to have been held immediately after the present one, was also ad journed to the same time and place. The first sod of the Liverpool and Southport Railway was cut on Friday, and the event was celebrated by a dinner at the Waterloo Hotel. The line will be completed in three months. The Lancaster and Preston Railway leave all their mat ters in the hands of the Board, as the canal company have , filed a bill for the completion of the agre emen t f or th e lease. FARES ON RAILWAYS.-Mr. Bankes gave notice, in the House of Commons, on Friday. of his intention to move on an early day, a resolution for the purpose of se curing a diminished rate of charges to the public upon all railways in the United Kingdom. The accounts presented to the half-yearly meeting of the South-Eastern and Continental Steam-packet Com pany enable a dividend to be declared of Bs. per share. The service seems thoroughly adequate for the demands lately made upon it. The report was adopted without comment. THE DUTCH RHENISH RAILWAY .—A meeting of the shareholders in this line was held on Saturday, for the purpose of signing a requisition to the di rec t ors not to persist in the call which they have announced, as they trust that the funds in hand will en a bl e th em to meet any present and pressing engagements. LIABILITY OF PROVISIONAL COMMITTEE -MEN.—An action was brought, at the Leicester Assizes, this week, by Messrs. Baily and Co., the highly respectable adver tising agents of Cornhill, against Mr. Thomas M acau l ay. to recover the sum of .£97275. 6d., the balance of an ac count for printing and advertising for the Midland U n i on Railway Compa n y. Th e trial lasted nearly two days, and resulted in a verdict for the defendant. From official returns it appears that the amount of traffic for the last week, on upwards of 3,668 miles of railway, was 157,8951., thus accounted for :-69,8481. for the conveyance of passengers only, 46,9561. for the carriage of goods, and a remainder of 41,0911. for passengers and goods together, not respectively apportioned ; being an Increase of 21,4661. over the corresponding week of last year, when the mileage was 2,711. The average earnings per mile last week were 431., whilst in 1847 they were 501. The directors of the Liverpool, Manchester, S and New castle Junction Railway request that the shareholders will, for the present, suspend their judgment, and personally attend at the extraordinary general meeting, on the 30th instant, when they will have an opportunity of forming their own opinions as to the proceedings of the board. They add, that they will then be prepared to point out many inaccuracies in the statements contained in the re poit of the committee, and to justify every act which they ,;.ave ,dcue sluce ;..4c boara kas t;:c.t; 44. at owing e 'ould seem letter, written on Friday in feeling has already The people of France are beginning to learn tl are other despotisms be-ides that of kings.

On Friday last a sort of deputation from the concourse had an interview with the director of the community, and declared that its leaving was essential to the peace of the city. After much reluctance the director promised to do so on the next morning. From this time the Ist battalion of National Guards took possession of the college, an in ventory was made of everything, and every portion of the building searched. The next morning I went up to see the finale : an im mense crowd had assembled in front of the college, as also in the streets. The national guard were stationed in the interior, on the roof, and the outside, where they were strengthened by a regiment of Swiss. Every now and then a person addressed the mob, amidst vivas and expressions of disgust ; nor was there less interest mani ',sted by the well-dressed persons who thronged the win - ' argo di Carita.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.- -FRIDAY The railway bills debated on the question of second readings were the Chester and Holyhead Railway (power to purchase, &c.), which was postponed until Monday (yes terday) ; the Great Western Railway (branch from Windsor to Slough), which was read a second time, and the North British Railway, No. 2 (junction with Leith branch of the Edinburgh and Dalkeith Railway, &c.) Bill, which was rejected by a majority of 45, the numbers 105 to 60. Lord MORPETH, in reply to Mr. Cardwell, stated that he should not, in the present state of the public business. think of proceeding with the public Health Bill next week, but as soon after as possible. Sir G. GREY, in answer to Mr. Bright, with reference to the two persons under sentence of death at Durham, for killing one of the Duke of Cleveland's gamekeepers, stated that the verdict of the jury had not been accom panied .by any recommendation to mercy, but he had re ceived many applications to that effect from places in the neighbourhood of which the transaction occurred, and also a memorial signed by the jury. He could not, how ever, consent to lay that memorial on the table, because it would involve the necessity of producing counter state xnents—a course which would be wholly subversive of the proper administration of justice. Mr. BRIGHT gave notice of his intention, after Easter, again to move for leave to bring in a bill for the total re peal of the Game Laws. Mr. Hawes, at the instance of Mr. Reynolds, ex plained the amount and conditions on which a tax was im E osed on emigrants to Canada. _ _ 'the CHANcii.Lon of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Mr. Mackinnon, stated that the - repayment of the balance of the Leeward Islands Loan would be postponed for five years, on condition of interest thereon being paid in the interval. The non-payment of poor rates in Ireland in the Cas tlebar union led to some observations, and a further de fence of Irish landlords. The Property Tax Bill was read a second time, Mr. HUME intimating that on the motion for the committal of the bill he should move that it be referred to a select committee up stairs. Lord J. RUSSELL made a forcible appeal to the house on the subject of the public business, enumerating the different government measures in progress, and calling for the forbearance of lion. members in bringing forward motions on orders of the day ; stating, at the same time, that the Income Tax Bill and the Estimates would, in all probability, take up about two months of the days which the government had at their d isposal. Mr. BAILLIE, in a speech descriptive of the horrors of the slave trade, as carried on in defiance of the efforts of the squadron appointed for that sersice to prevent it, moved an address to the crown, praying her ma jesty to give directions that negotiations be entered into with foreign powers to relieve this cthintry from the engagement under which it labours, of maintaining a squadron on the coast of Africa. Mr. Hmsty seconded the motion, which was supported by Mr. G. Thompson, Mr. Urquhart, Mr. Mowatt, Mr. Disraeli, and Mr. Bouverie : and opposed by Lord Harry Vane, apt. Pecbell, Mr. Hutt, Lord Palmerston, Sir T. Acland, Lord John Russell, and Sir Robert Peel ; the principal objection to the motion being the taking any decisive step of this nature until the committee sitting on the slave trade had made its report. On a division, the motion was rejected by a majority of 136: the numbers, 216 to 80. _ _ Mr. P. SCROPE moved an address for an indictment to be preferred by the law-officers of the .crown against the parties concerned in tho illegal destruction of several houses and the forcible ejectment of their inmates within the union of Galway - , about new year's day last, and which appeared to have occasioned the deaths of several of the unfortunate °Ejects of this ill-treatment.

The Government, far from attempting to do the latter, is greatly increasing the public expenditure by adding largely to the army, and to supply the deficiency in the revenue, it is imposing taxes which threaten the owners of property with ruin. All the four direct taxes —on land, houses, persons, and furniture—are i ncr e ase d _ _ ner cP - and ent., by a single decree, and thus the amount of taxation on real and-personal property is raised to at least 25 per cent. on its full value. According to an account of the taxation of France, contained in a volume of Travels published within the last month, it appears that the first of these four taxes—the tax on real property amounted to £6 5s Od. on a farm letting for £4O a-year ; that the 10d. on every window and door; and the tax on furniture equal from £2 to £3 on every £lOOO of furniture. By the decree just issued. all these taxes are increased 45 per cent., so that in the aggregate they will amount to a bur den of at least 25 per cent. on the full value of every man's property. IMPORTANT FROM LOMBARDY An extraordinary Turin, announces ti following particular left M" an at five o'c supplement to the .Risoryinsento, of Le revolution at Vienna, and gives the from Milan. The viceroy having lock on the morning of the lith, like a fugitive, escorted by 500 Hussars, met at Cassano , with the courier who was the bearer of the latest news from Vienna. The following proclamation was posted up at Milan on the 17th : " The president of the imperial government hastens to announce to the public the contents of a telegraphic des patch, dated Vienna, 15th instant, received at Zilli on the --r:e ' Milan yesterday evening-. His imperial ay, and at and royal rnajesty has decreed the abolition of the censor- ship, the speedy publication of a law on the press, and a convocation of the German and Sclavonic States, as also the central congregations of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom. The assembly will meet, at the latest, on the 3d July next. (Signed) " HARTI." On the 18tri, M. Cassati, chief magistrate of Milan, went at the head of two or three thousand persons to de mand the liberation of the individuals arrested in the course of the latter months. The demand having been refused, the magistrates retired, and immediately the peo ple assembled on the squares, and hoisted the tri-coloured flag of Italy (white, red, and green). Several streets were unpaved, and the tumult increased. A traveller, who left at two o'clock, saw several pieces of artillery drawn out, with lighted matches. At a short distance from Milan he heard the report of cannon. PRUSSIA The struggle has ended, and has been succeeded by universal joy, caused by the formation of a new ministry and the establishment of a Burgher Guard. The past is forgotten, and the . King is incessantly cheered whenever he shows himself. No private property has been injured, and the people exhibit no spirit of revenge ; they even praise the bravery of the troops, and creered them as they left the town with flying colours and the music of their military bands. The " United German Fatherland" was enthusiastically proclaimed by the citizens. The only political motive in the late dreadful excitement was the King's backwardness in taking the lead in that movement. The old Imperial colours are worn along with the Prussian white and black. Thousands and thousands thronged on the afternoon of Monday towards the Palace, and. with one voice, all at once began to sign the German Te Deum, " Now let us all praise God." The bodies of the fallen were carried to the churches in solemn silence, under the intonation of the celebrated popular hymn, " Jesus, my Redeemer, lived'," the King, bareheaded, like every one else, seeing them pass from the balcony. The enthusiasm of the inhabitants of Cologne when this news arrived from Berlin on the 20th was indescribable. The great Imperial standard (black, red, and gold, with the double eagle) was, with the sanction of the Archbishop, hoisted on the top of Cologne Cathedral, and is now proclaiming to the Ger mans on both sides of the Rhine the regeneration of Germany. BERLIN, MARCH 19, At seven o'clock this morning the following appeal from his Majesty the King to the inhabitants of Berlin was published "To MY BELOVED BEELINE as.—By rry patent of convoca tion this day you have received the pledge of the faithful sen timents of your King towards you, and towards the whole of the German fatherland. The shout of joy which Freeted me from unnumbered faithful hearts still resounded in my ears, when a crowd of peace-breakers mingled with the loyal throng, making seditioas and wanton demands, and augmenting in numbers in the same proportion as the well-disposed w thdrew. As their impetuous intrusion to the very portal of the Palace caused a just apprehension of sinister views, while insults were thrust upon my valiant and faithful soldiers, it was absolutely necessary to clear the court-yard by the cavalry at walking pace, and with their weapons sheathed. Two guns of the in fantry went off of themselves, without, thanks be to God ! causing any injury. A band of wicked men, chiefly consisting of foreigners, who, although searched for, have succeeded in concealing themselves for more than a week, have perverted this circumstance by palpable lies. to suit their infamous de signs, and have filled the excited minds of many of my faithful and beloved Berliners with thoughts of vengeance for supposed bloodshed ! and thus bate become the revolting authors of bloodshed themselves. My troops, your brothers and fellow countrymen, did not make use of their weapons till forced so to do by several shots fired st them from the KOnigs.strasse. The victorious advance of the troops was the necessary conse quence. " It now, rests with you, inhabitants of my beloved native city, to avert a greater evil. Acknowledge your fatal error— your King, your truest friend, conjures you by all that is most sacred to acknowledge your fatal error. Return to peace. Remove the barricades which are still standing, and send to me men fill e d w ith t h e genu i ne anc i ent sp i r i t of Berlin, speak ing words which are seemly foryour King to hear, and I pledge you my royal word that all the streets and suuares shall be in stantly cleared of the troops, and that the military occupation shall be confined solely to the most important buildings, to the Palace, the Arsenal, and a few others, and even to those places only for a brief space of time. Listen to the paternal voice of your King, ye inhabitants of my faithful and beautiful Berlin, and forget the past as I will forget it, for the sake of that great future which, under the peace-giving blessing of God, is about to dawn upon Prussia; and through Prussia upon all Germany. " Your lovin i g Queen and truly faithful mother and friend, who lies suffering on a sick bed, joins her heartfelt, tearful supplications with mine. " Written during the night of the 18th-19th of March, 1848. " FREDERICK WILLIAM." The King of Prussia has published an address "to his people and the German nation," in which he says that Germany is threatened with external danger from snore than one side, and that safety can only be attained under the direction of one, by the complete union of the German people and princes. This diroction.T taKe ilrort . riyself (continues the ad dross' duripgf . these times of danger. My' peot•le, who alion o regiment of Swiss, and a squadron of cavalry. The peo ple at this moment observed the most perfect silence. The last carriage was open, and there, amongst others of the padri, sat one, with a countenance that indicated deep grief and anguish. It was a picture well calculated to produce a deep impression. The procession descended by Monte Olive to the Fontana Medina, until they at length arrived at the viola, where the steamer Vesuvio was in waiting for them The crowd here was most dense, and on the steamer leaving the land there was one general shout of joy. On the 16th the Duchess of Orleans was still at Ems with her two children. The mercantile marine of Austria now numbers 5935 vessels, measuring 257,000 tons, including 131 steamers. In Hanover the censorship of the press has been volun tarily abolished by the king. The attempted emeute was a complete failure. The Turkish sultan has ordered a superb manual or vessel for containing a charcoal fire, to be made at the Constantinople mint, as a present to Queen Victoria. A letter from St. Petersburgh announces the approach ing departure of the Emperor Nicholas for Berlin, and of the Empress for the island of Madeira, where she has by her physicians to pass some time. • an extraordinary supplement, or " flvin,,o--sheet," of La Lega Italiana of Saturday last (the 18th inst.,) has been received, which contains a formal (proclamation of the new Roman Fundamental Constitution by His Holi ness Pope Pius IX. been orderec The Princes Joinville and d'Aumale arrived on the 12th at Lisbon, when an interesting meeting took place betweeti the Queen of Portugal and the Princess de Joinville, her sister, after an interval of twenty-five years, or, at least,. since both were children. They received the greatest at tention while in Lisbon. THE ORLEANS PROPERTY IN FRANCE.—A recent sta tistical work on France states that the bulk of the pro perty of Louis Philippe was in forests, and as Duke of Orleans, his income thence was at least £300,000 a-year T' ne crown estates he possessed as king were also princi pally in woods, yielding him £250,000 more. M. Guizot, the ex-French minister, has been seven times in office. In 1830 and 1837, in co-operation with Count Mol6 ; in the four administrations of 1832, April 1834, November 1834 and 1835, in co-operation with Thiers ; and lastly, in the ministry of December 1840 and 1843, in opposition to both Count Mole and M. Thiers. BAVARIA.—On Friday, news arrived from Paris, stating that the French Government had received a telegraphic despatch announcing that the King of Bavaria had abdi cated ; no dates or other particulars were given, the tele graph having been interru•ited by bad weather. Sub sequent avices state that he had retired in favour of his son Maximilian, who had issued a proclamation. Lola Mentes was therefore right, and the late king wishes probably to regain his " ladye faire." THE OVERLAND MAIL.—The intelligence brought by the overland mails of the 15th of February is not of great importance. India was quiet and in general healthy. An attempt at insurrection had been made at Shompore, which had, however, been suppressed. A quantity of treasure, amounting to £230,000, was found buried in a house once the property of Lall Singh ; half of the money has been handed into the British Treasury in payment of the Sheik liabilities. HANOVER, March 19.—His Majesty has this day sent an official notification to the Burgher Guard that he had dismissed Privy Councillor Falke from his post in the Cabinet. Had not his majesty taken this step, it would assuredly have been demanded. The burghers have com pletely maintained the peace of the city to-day. The King has conceded all the demands of his people, and been obliged to submit to the necessity of calling to the Ministry M. Stilbe, the Liberal Deputy of Osnabruck, who, for refusing to abet his Majesty in certain measures which he adopted on his accession, was prosecuted and imprisoned for several years. On the 21st everything was going on as before, and the people were content with what they had got. Dispatches from Milan, to the 18th, have fully confirmed the reports of an insurrection at Milan. A very sharp combat had taken place between the people and the Austrian troops. Much blood had been shed. At two o'clock on that day the insurrection had gained the advantage, The Viceroy, the Archduke Regnier, had taken to flight, but had been seized by the people at Brescia. The Austrian Authorities capitulated on the sole condition of being allowed an unmolested retreat for all the Austrian troops out of the Lombardo-Venetian territory. The tri-colour flag has been hoistedthroughout the whole of northern Italy. REVOLUTION IN CRACOW.—CRAcow, March 17.—The Silesia Gazette says :—" Our political prisoners are free. About nine this morning, nearly 100,000 Polish citizens assembled after learning the news from Vienna. They were joined by many of the native population, and re paired to the residence of Count Deym, demanding the liberation of the prisoners. Count Deym begged for de lay, till he should get special orders from Vienna. This would not do, and the Count was obliged to drive, with Marshal Castiglion, to the prison, and effect their desires. The people also asked the removal of the customs lines and guard, the arming of the people, and of the burgher militia. _ _ AMERICA AND CANADA.—The mail steam-ship Bri tannia, Captain Lott, arr;vcd on Saturday with advices:for New York to the 10th, and Halifax to 13th instant. The political information from America is quite unimportant. The advices from Canada are however of consequence. The Governor-General delivered his speech on the 28th ult., and in the discussion on the speech an amendment to the effect that they did not repose any confidence in his Excellency's administration, was carried by a majority of 54 to 20. The Indian inhabitants of Yucatan were in successful revolt against the whites. They were commit ting horrible massacres and devasatting whole villages, sparing neither age nor sex. SOUTHERN GERMANY.—The peasant riots iu Wurtem berg and Baden, have taken a peaceable turn, owing to the judicious co-operation of the feudal lords, the govern ment, ,attd. the people. The Prince of Hohent?he-• Hechingen, who was revorted to have fled, was quietly residing in that town. 'I he reports of the castles burnt by the peasants, were found to have been greatly exag gerated. The town of Constance was quiet, united with the rest of Germany against a Republic, but demanding with their brethren the United Fatherland. The princi ple of the National Parliament has been acknowledged by the Committee of the Diet at Frankford by a great majo rity, and the chief points of the national project are agreed to. CHINA.—The Journal des Debats says, that it has re ceived their papers and correspondence from• China up to the 29th of January, which is one month later than those previously received in London, namely, to the 30th of December. No event of the least political importance had occurred since the departure of the last courier. The negotiations between the Viceroy and the Governor of Hong Kong were still being carried on, the correspondence up to that time not having produced any satisfactory re sult. Sir John Davis had, in an official proclamation. even announced to his countrymen that, having referred to the British government the question whether or not he should proceed to active measures for ensuring the punish ment of the murderers who committed the assassinations at lioung-chu-ld, he thought that it was absolutely neces sary to warn them, in the meantime, to be prepared to quit Canton at a moment's notice. UNITED STATES AND MEXICO.—The intelligence re. ceived from the United States by the Ivanhoe, is chiefly of importance, as it refers to the proceedings of the Senate, with regard to the Mexican treaty. As the proceedings of that house in their executive capacity are held in secret sittings, their ultimate decision was still uncertain, so that the view taken out of doors must be founded upon mere conjecture. The current report, however, was that a majority of the members, including the whole of the Whig party, would object to some parts of the treaty in the form in which it bad been agreed upon, but as they are known to have been, and still are, decided opponents to the aggressive war on Mexico, it may be taken for granted that their objections will only be made for. the purpose of enforcing a settlement in a more just and effi cient manner. This view of the case is even admitted as probable by the American papers that have been the most furious advocates for ccat4 - x.1:21; ibr the entire conquest of Mexico.
