LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Four o'Ctoek.
EXPRESS FROM PARIS.

Our Paris letters of yesterday noon, with the
journals, have arrrived.
A complete stagnation of business in the money
market and on the Bourse has been the consequence of
the agitation which has followed the recent scenes in
the chamber. On Tuesday, the approaching reform
meeting was the subject which pre-occupied all minds.
A report prevailed that a schism had appeared in the
ranks of the opposition, owing to the withdrawal of
MM. Dufaure and Billault, and that consequently
the projected meeting was abandoned. This error
was, however, soon dissipated, by the announcement
of the decision of the committee of the opposition to
hold the meeting, and that the place had been already
settled.
A report is in circulation that two members of the
cabinet, who have committed themselves to extreme
measures in the late debate, must retire.
The Gazelle de France says, in reference to the ap-
proaching reform meeting : "It was yesterday de-
cided by the committee that the banquet shall take
place, not at Mont-l'arnasse, but at Paris, in a private
property, consisting of a large piece of enclosed land,
in the Champs-Elysees, belonging to General Thiars,
deputy. Workmen are at this moment engaged in
constructing a large temporary building." Sunday
was the day named for this manifestation, but it is not
supposed that the necessary preparations can be
conip et. d by that time.
Among the committee of twenty drawn by lot to
bear the address to tho Tuileries, were eight deputies
who bad voted against the paragraph of the address
considered as unconstitutional and offensive to the
minority of the Chamber. Of these eight, five de-
clined to take part in the deputation, and did not go
to the Chateau. MM. Jallivet, Darnand, Fribert,
Count de Villeneuve, Bargemont, Leon Talebot, and
Quatrebarbes, abstained from accompanying the depu-
tation. MM. Abraham Dubois, Duke de Reggio,
and Allard, although voting against the paragraph,
attendeel.
It is stated that those members of the Chamber
who are menaced by the parliamentary reform an-
nounced to be brought forward by the cabinet, arc
highly incensed at being made the ecape-goats of the
occasion. Thirty of these place-holding deputies had
a meeting on Tuesday, in consequence of the article
in the Journal des Darts explanatory of M. Guizot's
speech and the projected change of policy of the
government in relation to the reform question.
A report was circulated on the Bourse, that an
agent of the Grand Duke of Tuscany had arrived in
Paris with posers to negotiate a loan.
The Conslilutionnel says, that all the garrisons
round the capital have received instructions which
will enable government to have 80,000 men in Paris
without delay, when desired. Munitions are sent to
the barracks. Commanding officers, eut of uniform,
are brought to the different points of the capital, to
be instructed in the local dispositions which circum-
stances may render necessary.

PROGRESS OF ITALIAN REGENERATION.
The same mail which brought the letter of our cor-
respondent at Rome of the Bth, has brought advice.
from Florence to the 9th, from Naples to the Btb, and
from Palermo to the sth.
The Grand Duke of Tuscany, soon after the arrival
of the intelligence of the events which had taken
place at Naples, and having witnessed the effect
thereby produced on the public mind in Tuscany,
called together the chiefs of the Civic Guard of
Fier, nee, and expressed to them his sentiments on the
subject of a constitution for the grand duchy, de-
claring that he was favourably disposed towards such
a measure, but that in any proceeding of that nature
he desire 4 to act only after having come to an under-
standing with the King of Sardinia and the Pope. At
this time the news of the proclamation of the consti-
tution at Turin had not reached Florence. There can
be no doubt, therefore, that a constitution, on
equally liberal bases, will be proclaimed in the
grand duchy of Tuscany, and probably has been
published already.
Naples letters of the Bth say that the project of the
new constitution had been prepared, and had been
submitted to the sanction of the king.
Letters from Palermo, of the sth, say that the pro-
clamation of the constitution, and the decree of the
amnesty, were received in that city by the I'alinurus
steamer, on the 3rd. These documents were imme-
diately laid before the provisional government, which,
after deliberation, rejected them, and persisted in its
demand for the constitution of 1812, the populace,
meanwhile, crying in the streets for war.
On the 4th the Junta of Palermo, which had
hitherto acted as a provisional government, published
a proclatuatie a in the new journal, II CiUadino, in
which the general committee of Palermo constituted
itself provisional government of all Sicily, and re-
solved itself into four committees of war, finance,
justice, the interior and commerce and public instruc-
tion. The president of the provisional government
thus formed is Admiral Ruggeri, Settimo.
A report prevailed at Naples that the Pope had
offered his mediation to re-establish a good under-
standing between Naples and Sicily.
On the sth, after an obstinate conflict, Colonel
Gross, who commanded the tort of Castellamare, had
consented to surrender it to the provisional govern-
ment, and was permitted to embark with the garrison
on three steam vessels which were lying in the port.
By the terms of the capitulation the troops were
allowed to retain their arms and baggage, and an
exchange of prisoners was made. These were the
last of the Neapolitan troops which had remained at
Palermo.
The following is the answer returned by the pro-
visional government to the captain of the Palinurus,
who brought the proclamation of the constitution and
the act of amnesty :
Paimiir,,, Feb. 3.—Sir,—The general committee bars
mil the deerce of the 29th Jan., which premises a constitu-
tion for the two Sicilia'.
We have declared that Sicily, represented in a general 'I
parliament at l'alermo, must adapt to the circumstance of
this epoch the constitution which the island has possessed
for ages, which was remodelled in 1812 under the influence
et Great Britain, and which was confirmed by the decree of
11th Dec., 1816, posterior to the act of the congress of
Vienna.
All the towns of Italy have already expressed their assent
to this resolution of Palermo, adopted by the people with
arms in their hands. Several towns of the island have also
Gwowed this resolution by armed force.
We have then only to repeat what we have so often before
declared, to wit—that Sicily will lay down her arms and
!tl-inend hostilities oaly when a general parliament, assembled
in Palermo, shall have adapted to the circumstances of the
present times the constitution which it has never ceased to

?mew.
We have only to add that our wish is still to be attached
to the kingdom of Naples by those peculiar ties which may
be sanctioned by a Sicilian parliament, and, united thus, to
form two links of the fine Italian federation.—The President
at the General Committee, Rroorao Serrate.
The Patria of Florence, of the Bth, announces that
military preparations have been resolved on by the
Tuscan government. The volunteer chasseurs of the
coasts and the frontiers are to be daily exercised. All
the cavalry has been concentrated at Leghorn, Pisa,
and Florence. A garrison is to be established at
Pieta Santa. Artillery is to be conveyed there, as

(71-re3,-,& -to Zer
alao to Lucca and Piet*. the fortifications of Porto
Ferrujo will be completed towards the sea.
The Risorgineento of Turin,of the 11th, quotes a let-
ter from Piacenza of the 6th, stating'that the inhabi-
tants of that town, having determined to offer up
public thanksgivings to Heaven for the promulgation
of the Neapolitan constitution, fixed upon the chinch
of the Franciscan monks for the purpose. The police,
being informed of the project, sent positive orders to
the convent not to change anything in the external
appearance of their church. On the next morning
many inhabitants, informed of the prohibition, ab-
stained from going to the church; still a great multi-
tude assembled, and, after hearing the usual ma-s of
11 o'clock, spontaneously sang-the Ambrosian Hy mn,
in the greatest order, and with suitable solemnity.
The congregation separated afterwards, without mo-
lestation, though the police had assembled in number
before the church.
Don Carlos and his eon have, it is said, resolved to
leave the Sardinian states, and to establish them-
selves at Modena.

Below will be found a full and particular report of
the most extraordinary and discreditable proceedings
which took place at Munich on the 9th, 10th,
and 11th inst., in which the notorious Lola Monte.
figures conspicuously as an actor and a sufferer. The
issue of the affair has been the sudden expulsion,
without a moment's notice or preparation, of the ob-
noxious royal favourite from Bavaria. It is, however,
to be regretted that this object was not accomplished
without loots of life, destruction of property, blood-
shed. and bringing into contempt and derision the
public authorities and the highest functionaries of the
state.

The St. Petersburg Journal, of the sth, announces ;
that Baron Krudener has recieved orders to corn-
nouniente the following declaration to the Helvetic '
Diet:
The courts of Austria, France, and Prussia, having made
known to the imperial cabinet of Russia the declaration
they made under date the 48th January, believe it right to
declare on its part, that Russia gives full and entire adhesion
to the principles of public law which are developed in this
document, to the demands which are therein made in virtue
of the same principles, and to the eventual consequences
which result therefrom; that in the opinion of the imperial
cabinet, as in that of the three courts, the events which have
occurred In Switzerland, and what twat present passing there,
have evidently attacked cantonal sovereignty, thereby injuring
the fundamental principle of the Helvetic Confederation,
such es it was constituted in the general interest of Europe,
a principle to the maintenance of which is attached the gua-
rantee given of the neutrality of Switzerland ; that, in con.
sequence, Rus.ia considers for her part that the is provision-
ally freed from the obligation to maintain the rights of this
neutrality against the !Immures which such or such powers
may consider necessary to take for the temporary preserva-
tion of their own safety. Her guarantee will remain sus-
pended s long es the confederation 811.11 continue to be
placed beyond the pale of the conditions which form the
basis of its recognised ezistence—as long besides as Switzer-
, lend, serving as an asylum to revolutionists of all countries,
shall offer them support and protection to conspire with
impunity against the repose end security of neighbouring
states.
A note in the same terms as those of Austria, Prus-
sia, and France, is appended to the above communi-
' cation.

The Madrid mails of the 10th have arrived. Es-
partero arrived at Logrono on the Gth, and was re-
ceived with great enthusiasm and the customary
honours. A meeting of the progresista party had
been hold, at which it was agreed to oppose the go-
vernment on the cotton question. Orders have been
given by government for the resumption of the
quicksilver works near Aviedo, undertaken by an
Anglo-Asturian company.

EXTRAORDINARY EMEUTE AT MUNICH.
EXPULSION OF LOLA MONTES FROM BAVARIA.
' • • •

We published yesterday a report, which had been
hastily written at the moment of the reaeule, and in
the midst of confusion and alrum ,s of the events which
took place at Munich on the 9111 instant. A corres-
pondent of the Journal des Mbaes has supplied the
' following more detailed and accurate report of these
curious and lamentable events, which have not been
unattended, as will be perceived, with bloodshed and

lose of life
SirNICII, Faa. 9.—To-day, at noon, vociferation' and
hooting' were renewed with more violence than ever against
the Allman's, who sought refuge at a traiteur's of the name
of Rottmanner, where they are in the habit of dining and
holding their meetings. As he was entering this house, one
of the Alemanen, Count der Hirschberg, irritated without
doubt by the cries vociferated by the crowd collected in the
galleries of the Baur, drew a poniard from beneath his
clothes, and fell furiously on the persons around him. For-
tunately a gendarme laid hold of his arm, just he so
about to strike a young man, and disarmed him, but the
gensd'armes dared not venture to arrest him, on account of
bk quality u member of the Alemania association, and he
was allowed to enter the trailetsr's without any further im-
pediment, where his comrades were anxiously expecting him.
Fourteen genil'armes on foot, armed with muskets,
and placed before the !mitoses, protected his house from
the people, who, having already broken several panes of
glass, were endeavouring to gain access into it in order
to attack the Alemanen. Meanwhile the latter had
written to the Counties de Landsfeld, claiming her protec-
tion, and exposing to ler the situation they were then placed
in. It appears that on the teception of their letter, she got
into her carriage, and waited on the director of the police to
give him her orders. On her leaving his residence, she was
surrounded by a throng of people, who followed her all along
the street Des Theatins. which she was not afraid of descend-
ing on foot, leaning on the arm of M. Maninan, commissary
at war, one of her staunchest partisans. On her way, her
feet caught in her dress, and she fell down ; and as the
streets of Munich are now in a very dirty state, on account
of the thaw, she arrived at the Church of the Theatins
covered with mud, where she compelled to seek a refuge, to
escape from the crowd arriving in • contrary direction.
From 60 to 80 persons had also succeeded in getting into the
church with her, where, throwing herself on her knees before
the altar of the virgin, which is on the right hand of the
entrance door, she exclaimed, " May Gad protect my eels
and best friend !" Then rising up, she addressed to the
persons around her a few unintelligible words in French,
English, and Spanish, and on a sudden drew Cross her
pocket a pistol, which she brandished in the air.
She was in a state of extreme agitation ; her face was deadly
pale, and • strange expression marked every feature. One
of her servants, who had accompanied her, then took her
by the arm, and with the assistance of Nome gendarme.,
who had arrived on the spot, succeeded in leading her out
of the church. But it was to find herself in the midst of a
crowd still more exasperated, which no fill
w ed u the
Place de la Loggia. A squadron of cuirassiers. and the
gendarme cavalry endeavoured, though with little success,
to prevent the crowd from insulting her, as they loudly
vociferated cries of death, " Nieder mit der Lola ; nieder
mit der Koniglichen H— !" But it must be said, to the
praise of the Bavarians, that no one ventured to lay hands
upen her ; and I must also say that on this occasion, Lola
Montes displayed unheard-of courage and presence of mind.
She trembled, it is true, but it was easy to see it was with
care and grief. By the assistance of a very energetic demon-
stration on the part of the cavalry, she was enabled to be
withdrawn from the crowd, and conducted by some
gendarmes on horseback to the royal residence,—which she
reached by • mall building which joins the castle to the
theatre, where is a passage through which the court
generally passes to go to the theatre. It was not before five
o'clock that she returned home in a carriage.
The students had not remained inactive. Having all met
at the university in their aula, they had taken the resolution
of waiting oa their rector, M. der fhiersch, to complain of
the arrest of two of their comrades, and they had, in
fact, set forth in silence, crossing a considerable part of the
city. Half an hour after they. turned back, and were return-
ing to the university, preserving the some silence, when the
authorities thought proper to have them followed by a de-
tachment of the cuirassiers, who took their station at the
entrance of the university, sabres in hand. But the presence
of the military irritated the students, who loudly requested I
they should be withdrawn. The rector, who had arrived by
this time, after • parley with the commanding officer, sue
ceeded in obtaining their removal. It was then M. de
Thiersch made known to the students that, in virtue of
superior orders, the university was closed for one year.
The following bill was immediately posted up in the hall
of the university
In
virtue of an ardennanee of superior authority, we make known

what iaiowa :
The university is oloud from this present day, Feb. 9. till the
winter of 1649-49; and all three students who are not reaidente of
Munich are to here left thu tawn by the 11th at noon.
We expect that all oar students will render due obedience to this
superior order, and we request them to return home. wearing them '
that during their cleaner we shall endeavour to defend their interests,
which are so closely connected to the welfare of the university.
The Rectorate and Senate of the Royal University.
Munich, Feb. 9.1848. D. Femme= on TILIZIKII, Rector.
The remainder of the evening was pawed without other
disturbances than a few cries here and there.
The authorities were on their guard. All the approaches
to the palace were occupied by the troops.
Mt'.icw, FeD. 10.—At ten this morning the students,
after having met at the university, left it as they did yester-
day, two by two, anti repaired in silence to the residence of
M. de Thierech, to give him • last tricot ,The rector made a
short speech from his balcony, in which he requested them
to submit quietly
.to the orders of the authorities, and then
requested the seniors (this is the name given to the chiefs of
the associatios) to wait upon him. Be then re
petted the same prayers, and made them promise
to exertevery effort wick their juniors to pre-
vent all further demonstrations, which could but be
productive of still more painful results. After having sung
some airs in Latin, is the chorus of which all the students
joined, bare headed, they withdrew. When they arrived at
the corner ot the Rue du Bar, in which the Countess de
Lsndsfeld resides, some cries of " Let us go to Lola's ! let us
go to Lola's!" were heard, but the seniors interfered, and it
was decided they should repair to the residence of the
minister of public instruction, to give a rivet to the Prince
of Wallerstein. Bat an event, whkh will ever be deplored,
