SAXONY.

Dresden continues tranquil. By a decree of the
15th May the King of SAXONY has recalled the S:axon
representatives from Frankfort.

ITALY.

Letters from Turin announce that the Austrians
have taken Bologna by assault, after an obstinate
resistance.

The conduct of D'AsPaE and his troops at Leghorn
has been that of brigands rather than of soldiers.
Had the city been given up to the power of those
Ultra-Red Republicans, who on the 15th May last
year demanded the pillage of Paris, it would not
have suffered so much. Unarmed persons walking
quietly in the streets were shot down in the mere
wantonness of brutality, the Austrian officers en-
couraging their men in the commission of these
assassinations. Upwards of 200 quiet unarmed
citizens were in this manner murdered in cold blood.
The houses of the citizens have been entered by the
Austrian soldiers, and plundered of everything valu-
able which they contained, and articles which were
too heavy to be carried away were wantonly destroyed.
While the city was in the hands of the Republicans
not a robbery was committed, but no sooner do the
supporters of "order" enter it than murder and rob-
bery reign supreme.
Accounts have been received from Rome of the
12th. GARIBALDI attacked the Neapolitans at Fras-
cati on the 11th, or, more properly speaking, put them
to flight by a military promenade; for on his approach
they fled in all directions, without waiting to receive
his fire.

The following proclamations (the first addressed to
the French soldiers, the second to the Roman citizens)
have been issued, in expectation of a renewal of the
attack by the French.
" Soldiers of the French Republic!—For the second
time you are drive n as enemies under the walls of
Rome, of the Republican city which was once the cradle
of liberty and military glory. It is an act of fratricide,
which is imposed on you; and this fratricide, if ever it
could be consummated, would strike a mortal blow at
the liberty of France. The two people are bound by
mutual ties. The Republic extinguished amongst us
would be an eternal stain on your flag, one ally the
less for France in Europe, one step the more on the
road to a monarchical restoration, towards which a de-
ceitful or deceived Government impels your beautiful
and great country.
" Rome, therefore, will combat as she has already
combated. She knows that she fights for her own
liberty and for yours. Soldiers of the French Republic!
Whilst you are marching against our tricolour flag,
Russians. the men of 1815, are marching into Hungary,
and dreaming of a march into France. At some miles
nistance from you, a Neapolitan corps which we have
attacked, holds the banner of despotism and intole-
rance displayed. At some leagues from you, on your
left, a Republican city, Leghorn, resists at this moment
to Austrian invasion. There is your place. Tell your
leaders to keep their word. Remind them that at M.r -
seines and Toulon they promised you a battle against
the Croats. Remind them that the French soldier holds
at the end of his bayonet the honour and liberty of
France. French soldiers! Soldiers of liberty! March
not against your brethren. Our battles are yours. Let
the two tri-colour flags ally themselves, and march to.
gether to the liberation of nations and the destruction of
tyrants. God, France, and Italy will bless your arms.
Long live the French Republic! Long live the Roman
Republic!
"The Triumvirs—AßMELLlNl, SAFFI, MAZZINI.

" Rome, May 10, 1849."
" Humansl—With inexpressible joy I havo received
and published the bulletin of General Garibaldi relative
to the brilliant feat of arms at Palestrina, performed
yr sterday. Citizens!—Modern Rome is like the ancient
city, surrounded with enemies in the infancy of its
Republican life. But if the first came forth armed and
powerful in war from being so often assailed, the second,
innocent, pure from blood, cleansed from ambition, and
aspiring only to the exercise of human rights, will be en-
couraged in her glorious mission by the sanctity of her
cause, and protectfd by the justice of God. Persevere
therefore, Romans, with all courage. We will over-
' come our enemies; we will guard our rights; we will be
the corner-stone of the rebuilding of Italy.
" The French threaten yet once more to return to the
assault; we will chase them back again in the tracks they
have left from the 30th of April. At the first discharge
of cannon let all the citizens run gallantly to arms, and
fly to defend the walla and barricades. God is with us.
The eternal right of the people shall not perish.
"JosEPII AVEZZANA, the General-in-chief,
Minister of War and Marine.
"Rome, May 10, 1849." .

THE OUTRAGE ON THE QUEEN.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS.
After the examination at the Home-office had been
concluded, the prisoner, John Hamilton, was brought
into an outer room in the custody of Inspector Shaw,
who took the charge, and police-constable Topley, who
apprehended him, when he was exposed to the gaze of a
number of persons connected with the Home-office for
upwards of half an hour, but not the slightest change of
countenance was perceptible. A perfect indifference
marked the whole of his demeanour. Upon the com-
mittal to Newgate being signed, an order was also
issued, directed to the governor of the above gaoafc,cot
rd-
the prisoner should be kept by himself, and,. in
anee with these instructions, the prisoner is, usepeitnogtnhoe

With respect to the punishment in the event of the
prisoner :being found guilty, au erroneous impression
exists to the effect that he can be both publicly flogged
and transported. The clause of the Act, which is as
follows, will show the contrary ;—" And be it enacted

son shall wilfully discharge or attempt to discharge,
or point, aim, or present at or near to the person of
