demanded of him whither be had a written crew to
dislike the amenably ? The melee replied that he
had brought oily a verbal order from General
Wrassel. who had refused to give him a written
order. The presidsat contested his right ; the major
then retired with his lase, while great agitation pre-
vailed in the seemably. The major himself was
visibly agitated, and cooducted the whole besieges
with the greatest delicacy. AB soon ea he had
guided the ball a penal cry was raised, ' Let us
proceed to vete,' and the Assembly, amid great ac-
clamations, proceeded to vote the refusal to pay taxes
after the 17th. The vete was followed by indescribable
et joy, tears and embranngs."

who directed the attempt against the Hall of Assem-
bly, in the Schtitzen Hans, has declared, that after
having taken part in an act of high treason, he consi-
dered that he was no longer worthy to belong to the
oorps of officers. His sword has aooordingly been
taken from him, and be has been gent to Bpandan.
The delegates of the city have adopted an address
to the National Assembly, declaring themselves in
favour of a refusal:to pay taxes.

SAXONY.—We have Leipzic journals of the 15th
inst The population of Leipzic had made a demon-
atration against Austria by tearing down the arms of
the empire from the door of the consulate, and de-
stroying them. Various charivaris had been given
also during the night to obnoxious individuals. The
civic guard was called out, and order was not
seriously disturbed.
At Dresden, on the 13th, the case of Blum was
brought before the second chamber by Tschirner, who
asked ministers what had been done in the matter.
The minister Von Pfordten replied, that when the
Saxon government learnt the state of things in
Vienna, instructions were sent to the Saxon embassy
there to afford the necessary protection to all subjects
of that kingdom. When it became known that Blum
had been taken prisoner, instructions were sent on the
Bth inst. to protect him from further prosecution,
by virtue of his being a native of Saxony.
Before these instructions reached Vienna he had
been shot. The government had since written to
their envoy at Vienna to demand all Blum's effects,
and to see that the necessary ceremonies for his inter-
ment should be attended to; and further to demand
that all the necessary documents concerning the con-
demnation of Blum be sent to the government at
Dresden.—Tschirner then moved that the Saxon
ambassador at Vienna be requested to render a fall
account of his conduct, and that the Central Power
be called upon to take energetic steps to obtain an
atonement for the injury inflicted on the honour of
Germany by the murder of Blum. This motion was
adopted, and was subsequently taken up and passed
in the first chamber.

Frubel, the companion of Blum, arrived at Dresden
on the 14th inst.

AUSTRIA.—The dates from Vienna are no later
than the 12th inst. The Wiener Zeilung of that date
contains the financial survey of the last eleven months,
and shows a deficit of no lees than 60 millions of
florins. The deficit in the receipts aroso chiefly from
Ilin,gary and Italy, and from the expenditure for the
extra disbursements for the military. They have been
chiefly coverzd by credit. If the violently sonvuletd
stale of the monarchy should be again oonsoliwitid,
nothing whatever is to be apprehended respecting the
finances. A great mercantile house has failed for
2.10,000 florins.

LISBON, Nov. 12.

In my last I mentioned it aa probable that notwithstand-
ing the efforts seed by the government to detain the polities'
prisoners emoted on the 17th June last, the high court of
law, the Itasca°, 'mild race, them. On the oth
inst. the prates was brought before the judges, who
moanimoaely declared, after commenting upon its faults and
irregularities, that there had been no cause for such an
arrest, nothing having been proved against the parties.
The civilians were immediately released. The government
being burgs% this decision of the judges, thought of means
to retrial in prison the military men ; they therefore ordered
Colonel Horia to be detained and triad by a court-martial,
for a supposed or pretended desertion.
A plan of some sergeants of the 10th infantry, in garrison
in this town, has been discovered. I have not been able to
ascertain what was their intention, but it seems the wart of
pay, and the lemmas practice of (logging severely without
any court of inquiry, is the reason. The same spirit of re.
volt, and for the same motives, has =sites •ed itself in the
whole army, the government having received communice-
tions from the *aerial generals commanding in the different '
provinces, that if money is not forthcoming they cannot be
for the allegiance of the troops. The 12th Is-
[entry, stationed at Guards, for the reason above-mentioned
has revolted, and the greater part marched into Spain to
join a Montemolinist band. The 2nd Cocottes"' left this '
place on the 30th last by forced marches to occupy their
place. One of the national battalions tDa Carta) was
entreatiel with the garrison of the Clads St. George on the
derherture of the 2nd Cacedores.
government has spread the news that they have
seized a legitimist correspondence from London, brought by
a Mr. Matthew Bally, by which they had become acquainted
with all their plans, and which correspondence compromised
the loaders of that party and their first nobility. If half of
the reports wore trim, this government was quite right in
taking some proceedings. There is so doubt that Mr. Bally
brought a correspondence, which, it is said, fell into the
hands of the government not by a very creditable and con-
ititutional way; that Saldanha laid it before the Queen;
that a council of state was aarimbled; that the Queen and
her husband Undated upon the suspension of indivi-
dual guarantees, and the most severe measures ; that
Saldanha had the greatest difficulty to calm her irritated
temper, and he assured her, upon his honour, that, if left
alone, he would take all the necessary measurers. This mei.
dent is the caws of the reports that legitimist movements are

FRANCE.—PAaIs, Nov. 18.—T8a PARIS CLUI
—Oar correspordentorriting at the above date, mays:—" The
number of clubs nemeses daily, but to conceal their real
purpose, many of them effect to be electoral meetings. Yes-
terday evening meetings of this kind were held in the Salle
Montaquieu, the Salle Enka (Faubourg St. Antoine), the
Rue do Faubourg du Temple, and in a sells at the Berrien
d'ltalis. The most violent of these, which is, in fret, but s
resuscitation of the Club Barbie, was that of the Salle Moat's-
uieu, at whisk a friend of Barbie named Ilene 'presided
Dissamfoas the most stormy, on the most revolutionary
togas, took plots, and a fine debate, attended with vitupe-
reties csaieson, in which the antagonists well not et
all sant In the Shake of terms, occurred on the candidate-
ship of M. Ledru-Rollin and M. Respail for the
presidency. The hinds of, Ledru-Rollin proclaimed
Raspail an Utopist, and the partisans of Angell accused
Ledru Rollin of treason and felony ; they declared that he
could no longer have the confidence of the people, and that
his " opinions orritWes," were unfitted to present cireum-
stances. The only point on which all parties seemed agreed
was their veneration for Robespierre at every mention of
whose name one universal shoot of applause broke from the
assembly. More than 2,000 persons wens present, and the
Rue Montesquieu was so obstructed that the circulation was
forbidden. It would appear from the occurrences at this
meeting that the dimensions between the exialista and the
red republicans which they desired to heal are stronger than
ever. In the Salle Rotel', although the meeting was not so
stormy a. the preceding, the revolutionary doctrines mooted
were not lee. violent. An coveter declared that they did not
want any president, and advised civil war. The people (be
mid) had only to be determined and they would soon be
maiden.

BOULOONE, Nov. 19.—PROCLAMATION OP THE
Co:genet-Hon.—This ceremony took place here to-day. At
the porch of the old church of St. Nicholas a stage and '
canopy had been erected the day previous, the stage pro-
jecting into the church itself. In this recess was erected the
altar on which the ceremony of the benediction was to take
pleat. At II o'clock the soueprefet, mayor, end the whole
of the authorities arrived at the church, and immediately
after the whole body of clergy were seen approaching. On
their arrival the authorities and clergy mounted the stage.
Mks a short address from the sous-prefet, the constitution
wan read, end at the conclusion the cheering was very ge-
neral. The religious ceremony then took place, which occu-
pied nearly another half-hour. The whole of the national
guard with their oxtail ry and the troops of the line then de-
filed before the authorities, and the ceremony ootcluled.
