armed of its anger, and pardoned the misisters by

memorable lades -asset be eousideved deal : fur
pease im never the result of reoipreeal humiliation.
The executive power was humbled by the suppliant
attitude of Berathe as soon es be found that neither
Ideas nor defiance would be stomsehed. The
Assembly is humbled by the impunity of an insolent
attack In a journal under the official patronage of the
government. No sooner had that *Taal received
ratelligenee of the indulgence extended to its efface,
than it addressed the power width forbore to crash it
in these words :—" Your criminal alliances, your in-
sensate outrages are the surest of coupe-d'etat in faros,
of Lads Napoleon Bonaparte. You think to Jaime

ma. Your systematic hostility would be cid*s
snot to range the people on his side, if they were
not there already. You wish to prevent Louis Napo-
leon Bonaparte from becoming Emperor: Your booze
acts would crown him, if he became so." Such is the
language of the Moniteur du Soir of last night, after
the universal reprobation which the articles read by
M. Dupont de Brim= drew yesterday from the house.
The nanos complained of becomes more offensive
than ever. The exclusive privilege of saki is ex-
tended by the cabinet to a newspaper which systema-
tically risotto the supra"e source of authority, while
the whole liberal press is note:dieted en maws.

Such was the sensation produced yesterday by the
Brat speech of Baroche, in which be refused to inter-
dict the Moult-eta du Soir from street male, that seve-
ral foreign envoys sent off immediately special couriers
to notify to their governments the official declaration
of war between the executive and legislative.
M. de Larootejacqoelin was to have moved au
order of the day mofice in this form : the Assembly
disdaining anonymous insults, and wishing not to
place the President of the Republic in an unconstitu-
tional position passes to the order of the day.

To-day the Assembly entered upon the discussion
of the budget of war. The only incident which de-
serves mention arose upon a motion by M. Charms
for the reduction of the salary of General Changer-
nier, as commander-in-chief of the ►rmy of Paris.
The mover said that the commander-in-chief had been
provided with a higher position than that of the
minister of war. Ile alluded to the continual dis-
putes which were arising between General
Changarnier and General d'ilautpoul. He
quoted an order of the day read to the
army of Paris by the orders of General
Changarnier, from which it appeared that a colonel
bad been put under arrest for having sent directly to
the Minister of War some information which bad
been demanded of him, without transmitting it
through the channel of the commander-in•chief. Ge-
neral d'llautpoul opposed the reuction amid the
applan•e of the Right. He said that he knew hi■
duties u minister, and felt satisfied that General
Changarnier was equally aware of those which be-
longed to his poeiuon. The redaction was rejected.
The chapter relating to the remounting of the gen-
darmerie was then diicessed.
The Assembly adopted, after a long debate, the
amendment of General Lantoriciere, moving an aug-
mentation of 46,000 f. for remounting the gendarmerie
with Preach heroes.

The commission nominated by the Minister of Com-
merce to examine the question of the herring fishing
in the Northern Sea has decided theta sub-commission,
consisting of some of its members, shall proceed to
the coasts of England and Scotland, to ascertain whe-
ther French fishing-boats can or cannot fish for her-
rings. The French fishermen pretend that herrings
are only tobe found within three miles of the coast,
which ts the limit reserved to English fishermen by
the treaty with France. On its return the sub-com-
mission will viiit the ports of Calais, Boulogne,
Dieppe, St. Valery, and Ficamp, to collect informa-
tion.

In the rivalry between British and Austrian com-
mercial policy in Italy, the government press at
Turin takes the part of Ergland; and it is said
that a commercial treaty is on the point of being con-
cluded between the English and Sardinian govern-
ments.

Yeeterd: y u the president of the republic drove to
and from the theatre of the Ambigu Comique, where
he witnessed the representation of " Le ltoi de Rome,"
he was anoompanied by loud and general cries of
"Five la republique !" 200 invalids had been invited
and a hundred veterans of the imperial army clothed
in the uniform of that time eat in the pit of the
theatre.

The President is going to take up his residatee at
the Little Trianon towards the end of the month.
Some family parties will take place in consequence
of the recent marriage of Mdlle. Caroline Murat..
Rumours are current that General Memo, who
is regarded u the rival of Changarnier, is about to be
raised to an important post.
The representatives are going to have two grand
banquets before the prorogation. The majority dine
at the park of Avnierev, and the M,untain at Cha-
teaurouge. Suitable toasts will be given at both tables.
A new and sumptuouiparliamentary club has been
just opened at the corner of the Rue Chaussee d'Antin
and the Boulevard.

Not only the isolated forts about Paris are filled
with troops, bat the 10 maison a porta constructed in
the continuous line of fortification are also full.
More unfavourable accounts are received of the
health of Louis Philippe. Since his departure from
St. Leonard's his complaint seems to have returned
upon him.
Several Americans astonish the natives here by
sporting green and violet hate.

BVXDAT EVIWINO.
The papers are filled with polemical discussions
on the incident of the stormy sitting of Friday. The
Assembles Nationale has greatly abated of its hostile
tone against the President. It seems to be agreed
among the moderates that some allowance was to be
made for the press of the Elysee in the face of the
composition of the committee of permanence. On the
other hand, the opposition press, legitimist:and demo-
cratic, open a sharper fire on the executive.
The Moniteur du Soir last night was very quiet.
This lends some colour to the report that Bench* had
sent for the editor Moutferrier to give him a hint on
this subject.
The Monism,- contains an important decree relating
to the quarantine against cholera. Vessels arriving
from ',countries where cholera prevails may be sub-
jected, in the ports of the Mediterranean, to a quaran-
tine of observation of three days at least, and five days
at most. If during the quarantine no case of cholera
shows itself, the vessels shall be admitted W free
pratique. If the contrary occurs, the quarantine of
observation may be prolonged for five days more,
reckoned from the attack of cholera on the last
t.
patien
Another decree transfers the functions of the sani-
tary.intendance at Marseilles to a government com-
mission, in consequence of that body having subjected
vessels to an arbitrary quarantine without consulting
the government.
A third decree appoints Dr. Meier sanitary com-
missioner at Marseilles.
MM. Leon Faucher and Piseatory espoused the
part of the President in the late conflict with the
Assembly.
The motion of M. Cretan relative to the sale of
journals will be conceived in these terms All journals
may be sold publicly; the municipal authority shall

this sale with respect to the reqsisition of order in the
public streets ; the authorisation of sale shall be with-
drawn from journals in ease of condemnation ti,r all
the time which the sentence pronounced against them
will last.

Yesterday the budget of war was voted in a calm
sitting. The ft are assigned to this department forms
the most considerable chirp on the resources of the
state, and amounts to 307 millieee. With this sum en
army of 374,000 men and 33,000 horses may bemain-
tained. The debate was signalised by an attack from
Cieneral Grummet upon the army of Parte, which
be pronounced a wasteful and unnecessary burthen.
The chief result of the sitting was the adoption of an
amendment obliging the gendarmerie end republican
guard to remount themselves with French horses.
Thin was opposed be the government and committee, on
the grounds that France could not furnish horses of
the airs and power requisite, and that, as the gen-
darme is responsible for his horse, he ought to be al-
lowed entire liberty in the selection. -These argu-
ments were taken off by at neral Lamoriciere, and the
amendment passed. The gendarmerie require about
1,200 fresh horses yearly.
' The council of arrondissement of Bergerac has
expressed the wish that the Assembly should, after
the prorogation, decide on the prompt revision of the
constitution.

Several persons charg-d with being connected with
the secret club Le Nemesis, who had been arrested
during the night, were conveyed to the Concitrgerie
yesterday morning. M. Aristide Olivier, son ot
Be-
mostbene Olivier, the constituent, is also said to have
been put under arrest as a member of a secret
society.
Since the arrest of the members of the Nemesis, an
inquiry his taken place; and, in consequence of the
reports which have reached the prefecture, several
domiciliary visits have been made to different houses
in the Fauboargs St. Jacques, du Temple, and St.
Martin. It is positively stated that, in a recent
search which took p:ace in the last-named faubourg,
the police discovered, in the house of a working jew-
eller a great number of medals bearing the effigy of
the republic; a Tway of decorations of the Legion
of Honour, different from those now in use; the effigy of
Henry Iv. or of Napoleon being replaced by that of
Liberty. Instead of the motto " Honneur et Petrie,"
are the words " Libarte, Egalite, Fraternite," and
" Au Patriotiame" replaces the two flags or the three
fleure-de-lys of the Restoration.
A bank for discounting bills, gusranteed by deposits

THE LEVANT.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

GREAT BATTLE BETWEEN THE DANES
AND SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEINERS.
The Schleswirifobiteinere have been completely
defeated in a eanguinary engagement, which took
place at Idstedt, one of the advanced positions of
Osmond von Willisen.

The battle, which was fought on the 25th, was
preceded by a slight affair, of which accounts have
already been given. In this Scat encounter the Dear s
had assumed the offensive. They made their appear-
'since on the 24th, on two different sides, to moo-
' noitre the Holstein position, and, if possible, to
make a combined attack upon their central ad-
vanced position at Jiibeek, shoat Hee English miles
from the town of Schleswig to the west,
and situate on the main road from there to Has-
sum, 04 the left bank of the small river Trees.
The Danes commenced with an attack upon the
Holstein outposts at Helligbeck and Ltabasch, which
they succeeded in forcing with a superior number of
men. The Holstein troops, however, having received
reinforcements, returned with re-animated spirits,
and drove the Danes back upon the position which
they bad occupied before at Stendrup, and thus the
skirmish ended, with considerable logs on both sides.
The Danes had a couple of brigades under fire, bet,
in consequence of the ground being rather unfavour-
able for artillery, they could not bring any of their
field pieces into play, while the Holstein troops had
one 12-pounder battery, from which they could throw
shells with great effect.
On the left the Danes advanced from the western
side upon the
.position of Jiibeck, and with three
battalions of infantry suoceeded in forcing the
passage of the Treen, near Sallibro, which was de-
tented by one battalion of Holstein sager. with great
determination, when late in the afternoon General
Willisen in person made his appearance at the h'ad
of some fresh temps, and forced the Danes to relin-
quish the position, which he retook himself at the
bead of his men in the most gallant manner. Night
fell upon the combatants, with the loss of about 150
men on the part of the lloleteiners in killed and
wounded, including a couple of officers, Captains
Bedew and Abdo. In both actions the Danes could
not use their artillery with advantage, which accounts
for the little loss on the part of the Holsteiners,
compared with what the Danes are said to have suf-
fered—a report upon which very little reliance can be
placed.

The fight wu resumed at daybreak on the morning
of the 25th. General Willisen commanded the cer.tre,
the Prussian General, van der Horst, commanded the
left wing, and C duel voa der Tann, late aide-de-camp
of ti e King of Bavaria, cammanded the right wind, the
artillery bavicg at its head the Hanovrian Colonel
von Wiese!. At ten o'clock the corps of von der Tann,
being earth(' off by the ardour of its commander, was
cut off in i's first attack by a superior body of the
Danes, and never succeeded in rejoining the main
body under Willisen. His fate up to the latest mo-
ment was unknown.

Weakened by the lose of its left wing, the army of
William was vigorously attacked in the centre by the
advancing Danes, who, bringing forward all their ar-
tillery, succeeded, by 4 o'cl,ck in the afternoon, in
completely overthrowing the Schleswig-Holsteiners.
The tnelie and carnage are described as frightful. The
rage showa on both sides by the combatants being
most violent.

General Williaen sought after his defeat to rally
under the walls of Schleswig, but, pursued by the vic-
torious enemy, he was unable to makc good that po-
sition, which was occupied by the Danes, and the
Schleswig Holstein army took refuge under the walls
of Sehestedt, between E:kernforde and Rendsburg,
and on the Eider. The force osid to remain with
WilSeen, at Sehestedt, on the 26th, was 26,000 men.
This amount must be exaggerated, inasmuch as it does
cot contain any of the left wing under Von der Tann,
of whom no accounts are to be had.

The following is from our own correspondent
HAMBURGH, Jrr.r 24.
General Willisen has been defeated, and has retired
with hie army towarde Rendeburg, but in good order
and without further lose. Both sides fought with
great coolness std determination. The Schleswig-
Holsteiners twice repelled the attacks of a very much
greater force, and were finally compelled to retire
solely in consequence of the enormous disparity of
force. The numerical superiority of the Dines was
the more effectual because totally unexpected. ledeed
when they advanced for the third and successful at-
tack, notwithstanding their numbers, it was generally
felt that they would again be repulsed, and if my
eyesight did not deceive me preparations were made
beforehand to advance against them with the whole
force. The Danes have maintained the secrecy of
their preparations but too successfully ; had General
Willisen been better informed, it is probable that the
whole nature of the engagement would have been
changed. It is useless, however, now to speculate on
probabilities. The battle has been fought, and General
Willisen has been compelled to retire with his army.
He has not, however, marched to Rendeburg, as was
intimated yesterday. I am informed that he is con-
centrating his troops at Sebestedt, a village about
eight miles to the eastward of Rendeburt, protected
in front by the Witten Sea, and on the right by large
woods, which render the approach of a large force
from tl.e right impossible. Immediately behind
Seheatedt runs the canal which passes Rendeburg,
and connects the Baltic with the Eider, and thus
secures his road into Rendeburg. The train from
ltendsbnrg, which arrives here in an hoar or two,
will bring further particulars, both with regard to the
position of the whole army and the losses experienced
yesterday.
Yesterday was the first occasion on which I have
seen the encounter of hostile armies, with all the ad-
juncts of modern warfare, of the real nature of which
until then I was entirely ignorant. The heavy rain
and mists which fell from 3 to 8 o'clock in the morn-
ing prevented a thorough view of the scene of action,
but the general movements on both sides, and their
intentions, were tolerably apparent. Having arrived
somewhat late on the ground, I saw first of all that
the swarm of tirailleure on all sides of the Schleswig-
Holstein position, having previously advanced very
elope to that of their enemy, were gradually withdraw-
ing before the superior numbers of a Danish body of
the same kind. Toe sharp, smart, irregular firing
of the Titles and the whistling of the ballets
through the air was then taken up by the more re-
gular peloton fire of the infantry, which proved un-
successful in checking the further advance of the
Danes, who progressed steadily forward, until they
approached very close to the Idstedt position in the
centre, and the chief bodies on the wings. Artillery
wee then brought into play, the deafening roar of
which and the rushing, whizzing noise of whose iron
messengers made quite a different impression both on
the ears of an inexperienced newspaper corresponds at
and the progress of the advancing Danes. Their
movement was changed ; they retreated, followed at
first by cavalry at the charge. The cavalry, however,
had but slight effect, as they were not in enffieient
force. The riflemen and infantry again advanced, and
hastened the steps of the Danish troops, until they in
their turn reached their position, and, supported
by their heavier artillery, compelled the Schleswig
Helsteiners to retire. Twice was this scene renewed,
each time with greater loss on either side, while to
the east and west burning houses and villages added
increasing sternness and grandeur. On the second oc-
casion, while the Danes were advancing, a Danish
bomb struck an ammunition waggon within three
hundred yards of my position ; it instantly exploded
with a tremendous noise, killing two men and
wounding several others. During each advance upon
the Dimon, the wounded men lying in all directions
were carefully collected and carried behind the linos
in wsg,zons at the seat of the medical staff; where
they were temporarily attended to, and thence trans-
ported to Schleswig. Friends and foes were all
treated alike ; no distinction was made. Prisoners,
too, began to make their appearance, brought in twos
and three; and sometimes iel•numbers. One de-
tachment brought in upwards of thirty at one tiros.
Them was indeed much to observe and comment upon,
but similar scenes are unhappily too frequent in history
to require repetition here. While watching them
however the Danes commenced their third attack,
previous to which it became apparent that they ware
drawing up in line a much larger force of infantry,
cavalry, and artillery than had hitherto been seen on
their side. After a short pause on their side, broken
only by the riflemen between the two lines,
their artilli ry moved into position, and the conflict
became at cues most severe and sanguinary. General
William brought op every available man to resist the
great danger; bat as the position which I had oc-
cupied until then, together with other spectators,

became dangerous, we retired a short dim ah
farther behind, not a little startled by the sadclo"ia
appesrance of a Dsn:sh cannon-101 l which lowenta
