604.] LONDON, FRIDAY, AUG. 4, 1848.

Orders had been given to assemble the troops in the garden
of the palace of the Assembly; but these troops, no one
knew why or how, retired towards the esplanade of the
Invalides. At length ,he doors of the palace were opened
it is true, hot only to give entrance to 26 delegates, a, d it
was impossible to prevent the whole crowd from /entering
with the delegate e. if you iddreas yourself to the Minister
of War, he wiil my to you, that some one went it toe
Luxembourg to seek orders ; that is, that he had not
sufficient authority to give them. If he advised
the reppm not to be beaten, it was in the fear of
placing the representatives' lives in danger. On his side, the '
general of division replies that he removed the troops by
order of the commander-in. chief. NeiLher in the rep
nor in the peepers of the executive power is anything found
which prove, that the general command was given to
M. Courtais. A massstrate placed at the Prefecture of
Police, according to the executive commission, bas the rare

ment in M. Catessidiere is strange, after his refusal to
take part in the deliberations of the executive commi. lion.
No evidence exists of communication this day betw, en the
Lovemhourer and the Prelet of Police ; only there is a re-
port seems him, in which he says that the demonstration was
directed by men of whom lie was as sure as of himself.
The remainder of the report will be given
morrow.

ITALY.—The Pensiero Italian°, publishes by I
authority, a private letter, dated Milan, July 28 ,
two o'clock, p.m., which is as fodows : ".
am authorised to give you the satisfactory in-
formation which I have just received from Signor
Torelli, an officer of his majesty's staff, that be left
the army yesterday at Goito, amounting to 40,000
men, in perfect order, and only fatigued by the battle
which had taken place, and in want of provisions,
which wire rather scarce at that moment; but that
he (Sig. Torelli) having been sent expressly to Cre-
mona to procure provisions, the necessary measures
were immediately taken, and the army must by this
time be well provided. There was no doubt but that
the offensive would be assumed as soon as possible.
Should rumours be current to the prejudice of our
army, you may fearlessly contradict them on the
ftith of the information I here give you, which has
this moment been read to our anxious public, and
also dispatched to Turin."

O'Donnell was arrested in his own hence at Ballyboe,
within a mile or two of Vievenamon mountain, where
he took the chair for the clubbists at their great de-
monstration a few weeks ago. He is a respectable
man, aged about 26 years, and an extensive farmer.
Thtre 7'.!! &en re men arrested in thn same neigh-
bourhood, for harbouring Dohenv, who has thereby
exposed himself to capital punishment. The late
strong measures of government, as well as their un-
remitting attention to everything that will prevent
the spread of disaffection, are likely to crush rebellion
in its embryo, and bring its instigators to immediate
and summary justice. It is said that warrants have
been leaned against every member of the John
Mitchel Club, which existed here till a few days ago.
K ILK XNN It, WEDNEuDAY.—The rumours which are
flying about here to-day, respecting Mr. Smith O'Brien's
abiding niece, are of the most contradictory character. In a
private Inter from Limerick, which I have seen, it is stated
that he succeeded, late on Saturday evening, in effecting
hie escape from that port, in a vessel bound for
America. This statement is manifestly untrue, u he
was seen at Clonsanto, on Monday last, in the imme-
diate neighbourhood of the coal-pits. Other popular
versions of his movements place him at a village called Ur-
ingford, on the borders of the Queen's County, and in the
neighbourhood of the town of Neniv h. in Tipperary. The
circumstance of his being still at large, is owing, in some de-
gree, to the withdrawal which has taken place of the police
from most of the out-stations, and their removal to head.
quarters in the towns. Detachments of police, however, are
heirs,: sent to Ballingarry to co.ope rate with the millitary, and
give such assic.ance in the course of the search for the
fugitive leaders as their intimate knowledge of
the country may suggest. Even should Mr. Smith
O'Brien continue to evade pursuit, it is improbable that
he will succeed in again inducing any large ni.mber of the
peasantry to place themselves at him disposal. I have been
informed by parties who are well acquainted with their sen-
timents, that they have 10-t all confidence in his capability
for command, and complein bitterly of mismanagement on
his part of the affair at Ballingarry.
The vigorous measures adopted by the government since
the susoension of the Habeas Corpus Act have infused a mast
selutary dread of the penalties to which they have subjected
themselves into the minds of the confederate leaders here.
Since the arre,t of Dr. Cane, they have not ceased to
exhibit the mot ludicrous anxiety regarding the inten-
tions of the executive towards them. Storks of war-
rants yet unixecutcd are trerr blintrly spoken of as
',eine in the hands of the 'tentless functionaries of the
100 ility, and almost every stranger who enters the town is,
by their fears, metamorphosed into a " detective." The
subordinate members of the clubs are intensely distrustful
of each other, and are clamorous in their complaints of
cowardice and treachery on the part of their quondam
leaders. Many of them have been heard openly to avow
their gratification at the punishment infieted on
their generalissimo, Dr. Cane. The tide of disaffection
has not merely been checked—it has been rolled back
from much of the ground of which it possessed ieself, and
the most thoughtless now regard with gratification their
escape from the inevitable destruction which must have been
entailed on them by a perseverance in the course from
which they have been driven.
The rumours of disturbances at Cashel, which prevailed
here yesterday, prove to be without foundation.
Two mechanics beloeging to this city (one of them a gun-
maker) were arrested this evening near the town, on Ms.
pinion of being timed in conveying arms into the rural
districts
