FRANKFORT, NI sY 29. -TilE CONSTITUENT
ASSENIBLY.—A protest was presented from the depu-
ties for Luxembourg, declaring that after the resolu-
tion adopted on Saturday witn regard to special con-
stitutions, they could no longer retain their seats in
the assembly. On the motion of the president, this
document was referred to the committee en the con-
stitution. _ .

SAXONY.—We learn from our Cologne corres-
pondent, that serious disturbances oceurr,d at
Leipsic, on the night of the 27th ult It ap-
',ears that a great nu.nber of mechanics traversed the
main streets, uttering seditious cries. Ia the Wind-
muhlenstrasse a large body of them came into colli-
sion with the civic guard. After several of the latter
had been seriously Injured by stones, they charged the
mob with fixed bayonets and dispersed them. The
rioters, however, reassembled about midnight, and
amidst cries of " Live the Republic," proceeded to
erect barricades in the Catharinenstrasse and the

liable Bosse, chiefly with the wooden booths erected
for the great fair. The entire corps of the civic guards,
and a part of the garrison were called out ; they took
possession of all the gates of the town, and charged the
rioters in all directions. In the Cartharinenstrassc and
the Brohl, the insurgents fired on the civic guard,
who returned shots, and succeeded in capturing
and destroying the barricades. About 2 a.m., on
the 28th, tranquillity was restored. A great number
of persons have been arrested. It was feared that
disturbances would be renewed on the night of the 28th.
Our correspondent says, that the " reorganisation " of
the grand duchy of Posen proceeds very slowly, and
chiefly on the ground that the Poles themselves re-
fuse to take any part in a measure which they con-
sider as tantamount to another partition of their
country. Bohemia and Hungary are still in a very
disturbed state. On the other hand, the negotiations
between Prussia and Denmark are taking a definite
and satisfactory form.
AUSTRIA.—Our latest intelligence from Vienna
is to the 26th of May. The attitude assumed by the
Emperor had occasioned a subdued under-toned ex
pression of distrust and disaffection. The unconsti-
tutional character of his proceedings was complained
of. Representations against them were to be for-
warded to his Majesty both from the Hungarian and
German ministries. A letter from Trieste, of the
2lth of May, states that no attack had been made by
the combined Italian fleets. On the contrary, the
Sardinian admiral had intimated that his ships were
there only for the purpose of protecting Sardinian
merchant vessels from the Austrian men-of-war.
Some suspicious movements by launches along the
neighbouring coast, however, had been interpreted as
attempts at a hostile landing. At Trieste they had been
for some days without news from Illyria, and were un-
certain whether there might not have been a rising
against the Austrian government all along that coast.
The Archduke John had arrived at Innsprock, and the
King of Bavaria was expected there. Throughout
the Austrian dominions the impression was gaining
ground that the court had resolved upon a reaction-
ary movement. The .1//gemcine Zeitung publishes a
letter from Count Bombelles, denying that ho had
used to the deputies from Linz the language attri-
buted to him by a correspondent of that journal.

EGYPT.—We have received letters from our cor-
respondent at Alexandria to the 22nd of May. Mehemet
Ali continued in a very precarious state of health. Ibrahim
Pasha had returned to Cairo from the Delta ; his agents are
at present engaged in making forcible levies for an increase
in the army, and, at the UMW tune, all those men that can
possibly be spared were sent to work at the barrage
of the Nile, or made to dig canals. The country people
fly from the villages to avoid thd government agents,
and many of them go into Syria, and the crops are
ellvved to waste in Pashal for want of hands to take
them Ibrahim seems intent upon exercising
military r,:le in Alexandria. The fortification: are
being menintet; with guns with all despatch, the gates of the
