PARIS, TUESDAY Everrifto.
The trial of the editor of the Pouroir at the bar of
Assembly elicited early an immense audience. The
sitting opened at half-pest twelve. Every part of the
house was crammed, and as usual the ladies were in
a majority. A chair was placed in the hemicycle in
front of the harem for the defendant. A small table,
covered with a green cloth, occupied the usual place
of the first bench of commissionere, at the foot of
which M. Chaix d'Estange, the advocate for the
defence, was to take his defence. Tue high prier
of the cards of admission secti-ed an audience
which contrasted strongly with the blouses of earlier
sittings. The president of the Assembly rose, amid
deep silence, and said that in the sitting of the 15th
51. Bane had called the attention of the Assembly to
an article of the Pouroir, which seemed to him to
attack the rights and authority which it held by the
constitution, and to incur the penalties which were
laid down in the lew of May, 1819, and in the decree
lof the Constituent Assembly of April, 1818. lie
therefore demanded that the responsible editor
of this journal should be cited before the
bar of the Assembly to explain himself
with regard to the substance of the article,
that they might see if there was ground for spplyiog
the penalties in question. The article had been
printed and distributed ; the editor had been sum-
moned, and he was ready to appear with the counsel
which had been allowed him for his defence. But
he (the president) would first read a letter which
had been addressed to him by several representatives.
The president here read a letter, sigred by Michael
de Buurges and some twenty other representatives
of the Mountain, declaring that the Assembly was
not competent to try offences of the press,
which were, by the constitutoin, subject only
to the jurisdiction of juries ; and on these motives
the undersigned abstained from taking any part in
the trial of tha editor of the Pouroir. The presi-
dent said that the abstinence of members of the
Assembly on this occasion, according to his view,
was perfectly legal; bat, at the same time, he looked
upon the Assembly as justified in the course adopted,
sad competent to try attacks upon itself. The
Assembly having decided against the useless delay
of calling over the names of the members present,
the president caused the defendant and his coun-
sel to be introduced. After the speech of M.
Chaix d'Estange, in defence of the accused, the
Assembly caused the defendant and his advocate to
retire. They then voted upon the question whether
the defendant was guilty of offence against the
Assembly. This was affirmed by 273 votes against
154. As to the second question, whether the defend-
ant was guilty of attacking the rights of the Assem-
bly, it was decided that there was no occasion for
deliberating on this. M. de Cronseilhes demanded
that the Assembly should deliberate with closed doors
on the
_penalty to be inflicted. This was opposed by
Jules Pays, but the Assembly decided upon forming
itself into a Secret committee. The public tribunes
were then cleared. After deliberating with closed
doors for an hour and a half the Assembly decided,
by a majority of 273 against 119, to fine the defendant
6,000 fr, but not to inflict the punishment of imprison-
ment.

The plan of the Danish, cn the mitten, seems to be to
attack. Such, at least, is the conjecture, from the het
that the Dense have heavy ordnance with them, which is
oily fit for siege operations. It is mid that they took
French artillery officers in their service to manumit the
skilful German officer, who entered the S. H. service.
The 15th Prussian Regiment of Infantry, which was in-

A letter from Bologna of the 11th, states that the
band of It Panatore entered Fussignano, in the
Roman States, a few days before, and carried off
booty to the amount of 14,000 wadi (70,900 fr.).
Tne Genoa Gazette: of the 13th, contains an an-
nouncement that the demand for shares for the pur-
pose of raising a monument in honour of the passing
of the law abolishing ecclesiastical privileges is so
gnat that the committee has not been able to meet
all applications. The number of shares already taken
amounts to 32,000. The same paper states from
Rome that the pontifical government has demanded
the extradition of Cernuschi, and that his departure
fr.= Civits Vecchia hasbeen suspended in conse-
quence.
