PARIS, Brt4DAY, 5.10 P.Y.
There is news from Lyons of the 15th instant. The
Cbererier de Lynx', of that date, gives a full account
of what took place there on the previous day.
On the evening of the 14th, several men went
to the house of the prefet, to demand the commu-
nication of a telegraphic despatch which that official
should have received from Paris during the dly, and
which he had net published. He answered that even
though he Iral received the communication alluded
to, he thought he had the right of making it known
ke-pinr it secret as he chase; but, besides that, he
could inform them that he had received no transmis-
sion of any kind, as the state of the atmosphere ren-
dered it impossible. The democrats, being little satis-
fied with this answer, retired, raying that since the
authorities refused to tell them anything, it must be
that unfavourable intelligence had been received,
and they instantly spread the news, which ap
in a supplement of the Ripublicails, to
es effect that Ledru Rollin was master of
Paris, and that the President of the Republic and
the ministers were at Vincennes. It was in vain that
the Prefect put up a placard contradicting the news ;
it spread and caused great excitement everywhere.
The agitation, which was great on the morning of the
14th, increased, and numerous groups formed at the
Croix Rsusee at La OuilloWre, and in the Quartier
Perrache. At 7 o'clock in the evening a heed et about
60 individuals descended from the Croix Reenetethe
Place des Terreux,wherea great crowd bed amenabled.
Several compact groups were also eseembled Were
the Hotel de Ville. At half-past 8 the mewl insw-
ing near the 'tape of that edifice throalood to ester
it. It wee then that two summonses wets eerie in
the usual form. Nevertheless the groups ii not
disperse, and in the midst et the crowd rues elms
were beard making speeches, sad reading nema try
torch light. Ow et them proclaimed aloud ems
Republique Demonstie et Societe. The state of
things lasted until 11 in the evening, when a body of
issued from the Hotel de %ilk, and Moeda
mops
which they caught and arrested 150 WM-
dun.
The same journal, in a postscript dated the morn-
ing of the 16th, mys that the Posts' of the Ecole
Viterinairi had been surprised and disarmed by a
band of MO or 800 men, which afterwards went to
the Croix Rouge. A oonfliet had also taken place at the
Porte St. Laurent and Porte des Bernardino,. Severe
men attempted to disarm the military poste there;
the soldiers fired, and several of the suresion were
shot. Subsequently to this the Poste of the Boole
Viterinairi wee re-occupied 17 the troops.
Later news received from yew eves an account
of a tremendous draggle on the 16th. However, all
the barricades were tam by the troops; the key of
life has been very great. It was expected that the
insurrection would again break oat to-dalr.
The elforeileur of this morning contains a deems,
fixing the elections rendered necessary by the option

( f divers members elected in two snd three dif-
urea departments, fir the Bth ot Ju'y. The num-
ber of m misers is 33, of which 11 are for Paris.
These arc to replace Ledru-Rellin, Lucien Murat,
Lutnoricire, Galenite, Hyppolyte Prosy, Felix Pyat,
Bixio, Odilnn Barrett, Theodore Bac,.eavaigoac, and
Reif •r du Nerd.
yesterday the president of the'republic went, accom-
panied by MM. Falloux,minitetr of pub.ic instruction,
and Lacrosse, minister of public works, to visit the
hospitals of the Hotel Dicta, Val de Grace, and Sal-
At the Val de Oros, it happered that the president
met i esters' of the soldiers wcuoded in the disturb-
soces ot the 13th instant. He distributed to them
croisies of the Legion of Honour.
The chamber deliberated its bureaux 7eeterday
on ter, prupositii ne of the ministiy--one fur naming
a CO,lllllllllllOll ot 13 members to prepare the laws re-
lative to piiblie:aseistanc:i. in virtue of article 13 of
the oinstittrion ; the (Ate r relative to the formation
of a deposit bank, fur kit. piog monies rt Weed out of
sa'aries, f.r the purpose of afterwards furoishir g
pensions, and for the ins itution of societies of mutual
succour. The bstreaex were unanimous as to
.the
principle and necessity of these laws. Commissions
were named to minibus both. M. Montalembert his
Owed on the •able of the Assembly a props-evil to
abrogate the 67th ait'ele of the law of the 22nd of
Mareh, 1831, which furbAs juiot commands under
one head in the national guard and the land or sea
forces.
Ye-terlay several a-te-ts and seizures again took
plate in Parir. Ab nit 300 persons have already been
(unfired. I; may be necessary to state that when the
B tden insurre,tienary government was fojnded, they
*mot es env( ye ti Paris Messrs. Behiez, Huge, and
Blind. There envoys presented their cre;entisle,
which were not received. Yesterday, a body of police
entered their demist:lee, and seized everythit g the re.

ROMAN STATES.—The inteligeree from Rome
is of the Bth lust. The President of the Constituent
t ommunic eted to the Avembly, on the sth, a devotes
from th.. prefect of Fermo, stating that the earr'son of
Ancor& had made a sortie, in wh:ch they killed or
wounded 500 Austrians, with the loss rf only 50
wounded and seven killed. The deputy Gajani pro-
jawed that the rerts.ntatives should proceed to the
d &rent quarters to calm the paet: excited by
the cannon balls and rockets thrown int., the city by
the French. " The citizens of the menaced quarter,"
he said, "crowd into the centre in the .•most dis-
order, and it is necessary to in pine the pe3ple with
enabler ce both by words and example."
Mother deputy announc. d that 400 Austrian.,
having entered Loretto, ordered the t•et of liberty
to be cut town, and the Pope'a arms to be restored.
Thy y, howev r, reapeeed the na•ional guard.
The communications with Anew's, he added, were in-
tercepted. The depu y Grillarz ui cave an account
of the 'reveres adopted ter the accommodation of the
woune'ed. Five large halls of the Vatican had been
; opened and ftted out for their reeer.tion. Amorg
tho►e lately removed thi her was Lieutenant Collate!

The follqwing, from our correspondent, will be
found full of interesting details on the engigiments
up to tie 7th inst.:
ROMS, Jura 7, 2 r x.
We are still in the same positioo. Toe French
have us ret made no pro:tress, although they made
several b ld attempts, under the cover of yererday's
storm, to pish sealing parties up to the wells. Almust
the entire toree encamped on Monte Mario has, since
the recommencement of hostilities, been spread across
the plain reaching from that unicence to the city
walls, !Gather for opportunities of firing good long
'hots, and molesting the Its man Ranson without
being in danger of being paid in kind. The main
body of the army, whore principal camp is at the,
Villa Santucci, to the south of Porta Porteee, sends
large bodii s of skirmishers in the same manner, nor
have es as vet had a renewal of the close combat
which tried the courage and perseverance of both
parties for seventeen hours on Sunday last.
1 have just come from the Mount Aventine, whence
the French were plainly discernible on the opposite
bank of the river, occupied in the construction of
a battery for five guns, three of which were
pointed against Monte Testaccio, and two against
the spot on which I was standing. They were quite
within range of the Roman cannon, but the artillery-
men said that they had orders not to fire Lista Monte
Testaccio, whose works were in course of reparation,
should set the examp'.e. The Aventine battery tires
grenades and round shot from 18-pounders; the artil-
lerymen work behind an earthern fort before the
church t f Santa Sabina, and three more embrasures
arebeing added to the fortification this morning, to
that there seems to be a tacit understanding between
the hostile parties not to molest each other's operations.
Yeeterdu the facade of the church was disfigured by
20 or 30 French 24-pound shot. Porta San Pencrazio
is continually receiving additional artillery, and being
strengthened by fresh outworks. Rome is now said
to be defended, in the whole circuit, by upwards of
120 pieces of cannon, betides those of reserve which
are transported rapidly front one point to another,
esserding to the urgency of the attack. Eight
emermons cut•iron guns came in this morning front
Porto d'Anzo, each drawn by three pair of but
end are to be mounted on the walls of the
Castle of St. Angelo.
The feats of Corpus Domini, one of the most
solemu in the Roman calendar, and hitherto annually
celebrated by a magnificent procession of the Pope,
bearing the consecrated wafer, and followed by thou-
sands of regular and secular priests of all denomina-
tions round the majeafc colonnade of St. Peter's, is
today modestly observed, according to the directions I
of the triumvirate, by each parish priest in his own
church, since more extended . and customary demon-
strations of reverence are rendered impracticable by
the battle raging at the gates.
Of the Roman combatants, 336 wounded were
brought into the hospitals on the 3rd, and 42 on the
4th. Of these, 7 died on the sth. 33 were brought
in from the engagement to the nearest hospital at
San Pietro in slontor'o, either dyieg or dead, and
some dead were brought in at once to the cemeteries,
ro that we may calculate the wounded, during the
fleet three days, at about 400, and the dead at
about 80.
Both the people and the government are resolved
to stand firm to the utmost, and hope that the arrival
of M. L•ssepe at Paris may somewhat change the
state of affairs in favour of Rome.
The tare of cannon and musketry continues in the
direction of Poeta San Pancrazio and the walls of the
Vatican, but not very actively; meanwhile the Roman
ladies are taking their accustomed promenade up and
down the Corso, after having attended mass, and no
one would imagine that a besieged and bombarded
city could betray so few signs of agitation or alum.
SARDINIA.—A correspondent writes as fellows
from Turin:

TURIN, JrNs 13.
I did not intend to write to-day, but have just
heard from a source which I have reason to trust to,
that peace with Austria has been agreed upon,
concluded, and signed. This was the secret object
of the journey to Novae and Milan of the
two ministers Pirelli and Dabortaida. The
terms are sixty three millions of francs, and the
occupation of the proving.' at present in the hands of
the Austrians, who would evacuate Alexandria.
What the secret terms are is not said, but of course,
would be the occupation of all the forts and„ miy
positions, indeed, of the whole country, in the t
of a war with France.
When known here the news is very likely to create
an explosion of rpalsx feeling, and if Paris gives the
example a revelation would assuredly break out here.

GERMANY.

PRUSSIA.—Our correspmdent writes :
BERLIN, Tcrin 15.
The disarming of the two refractory comoenit s of
Berlin landwebr at Wolmirst,dr, near Magdeburg,
was effected immediately after receiving tie order
from the war-office on the 13th instant. A battalion
of infantry, four guns, and a squadron of horse were
ready on the spot to suppress on the instant all resist-
ance. None, ho eva, was of ; twenty men out
of each company who had not joked in the demo-
cratic demonstrations of the rest were excepted from
this disgrace, which is said to be unprecedented in
the history of the institution. The disarmed will be
marched, under escort e f two companies of the line
and some cavalry, to Stettin, by a circuitous route, to
avoid the demonstrations of sympithieers at Berlin.
From Stettin they will be conveyed 0 some fortress.
General Hirschfeld has issued the following pro-
clamation:
Inhabitants of Rhine-Savant and Rhine-Erne, —By
command of my king. who has been moved by the request of
your government to grant auxiliary forces in conformity with
the confederation, I cress to-day your bouadarite with my
brave troops, your G. nnso brothers, to restore among you
the peace which has bee, disturbed by sedition and rrmson.
To well-disposed clients I prosier protection, and expect
from them strong support in tee maintenanos of the law and
restoration of order. But the rebels who have precipitated
you into misery and ruin I will put down wick a strung
band wherever I find them.
You, Prussian subject>, who disgrace the Prussian name
with treason and rehellie n, cad fight in the ranks of the in-
surgents agtinst your brothers, you ere forfeited without re-
prieve to the law of wee. You have merited the punish-
ment of death, and it will be inflicted up-in you acme hog to
the law.
T the Tr mps of the 11 mesh!, Army Corps,—By e miten a-. d
of kis majesty the king I have assembled you upon this re-
mota frontier of our fatherland, in order to lead you, in com-
pliance with the call of our confederal: allies in Bavaria,
Hesse, and Baden, into the neiehbouring country, where re-
bellion rages, arbitrary tower commends, and the rights and
freedom (dell honourable people are daily abused.
The glorious arms of Prussia are called to restore right
and law to theme c Writ", and to re-neabli,h freedom slid
peace. With God's help, you will acquit yourselves honour-
ably of this commis-ion, worthy of your brave Prussian
forefathers, to the renown of your glorious fig and the wel-
fare of our common LA eland.
Comrades ref all ranks and arms I—This I expect from your
valour with confidence. But I exact from jou with no less
decides the meet punctual obedience, the strictest madam-
Dance of discipline A l.yel and obedient army is the pride
and honour, an unefiee.pliued host the d'apuce and scourge,
of the Litherhutd. Tart you will see in the unhappy coun-
tries which you will traverse.
And now forward, comrades! You will see whether we
shall be received as deliverers and liberators, or as enemies.
The oppressed will feel your helping hand, the hostile
oppressor the lull weight of your sharp weapons.
With God f king and fatherlaud.
The Commanding General, V. iIIRICHFELD.

Concerning the attempt to assassinate the Prince
of Prussia, we hear further that the ball did not hit
tho postilion of the prince's carriage, but of the one
which followed with Captain Boyce, who was
woon?.ed in the leg. The shot was fired not out of a
house but a corn-field ; and the suspected offender,
Adam Scheider by name, has been takes to
Mayence.
According to the Frankfort papers Hasneken had
a brush with the enemy iu the Vale of Alzey, of which
no details are k•own.
Among other exertises which the garrison are
taught here is the rather novel one of practising how
to storm houses. Ye s'er'ay, for the first time, as far
as I am aware, there edifying lessons were witnessed
in the Chicopee and Invaliden Strasse by a large
concourse of alarm d citizens. The spe t.cle pre-
seated completely a sham repetition of the opera-
tions which the came troops performed in good ear-
nest abut a month ago in Dresden. Part r f the
troops occupied the houses, bestrid the roofs, and
were supposed to be armed with paving stones and
other offensive weapons, while their comrades in the
street aimed at the garret windows, and performed a
mimic storm.
There seems to prevail some doubt whether the
object of the manoeuvre was to instruct the soldiers or
to terriry the poor inhabitants of that quarter.
The Duke of Hem has declared that the Hessi
troops are to act under the chief command of the
Prince of Prussia.

HAMBURG, Jena 15.
The German porta of the North Sea being blockaded,
the wool pumbased on Eogl sh account at the fairs is
hipmd at Wismar, which is cansidered neutral by
tile Dams, and, being in railway communication with
Berlin, it is better situated in that respe.:t than
Lubeck, which is likewise treated u a neutral part.
' The wool shipped at Witmer has to pay Sound dues,
for which of aurae the English manufacturer must
suffer.
The Mecklenburg railroad company has raised a
loan to the amount of 900,000 dollars on our Ex-
change, for the purpose of finishing the railroads built
by a company wno were obliged, two years ago, to
suspend operations for want of funds. The deben-
tures bear 4j per cent. interest, and are guaranteed
by the Mecklenburg government. They want about
u much more, which the government will lend free
of interest, probably in paper currency. The tracts
to be finished are Rostock, Schwerin, and Gustrow-
Butsow. The Magdeburg-Wittenberge Railway will
be opened on the Ist of July. It will afford a direct
communication between Hamburg and Leipaic, and
between Leipsic and the Mecklenburg roads.
We do not learn anything about the peace nego-
ciations which are going on at Berlin ; but a cessa-
tion of hostilities in Jutland seems to have commenced

by mutual understanding.
To night's train has tot brought any news from
the north.

ANOTHER FIRE AT HAMBURG.

The mail-packet Trident, Capt. Morrie, from
Hamburg, reached Blackwell yesterday evening.
We learn that the Trident saw the German steam
fleet at anchor in Cuxhaven roads ; and that when she
passed Heligoland the Danish blockading squadron
wu assembled awe, and was strictly enforcing the
blockade of the Elba and the Weser.
When only a few miles at sea the crew of the
Trident perceived that a conflagration had broken out
in the city or Hamburg, which appeared from its
magnitude to threaten a great extent of damage.

OISTAINIKO GOODS 'INDIA FALSE FRETESCIVI.•
Reyorts relative to the apprehension of "Sydney Jones
