COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

NEW YORK, JUNE 19.
Money Market.—Our business and money affairs are
upon an easy footing.
The intelligence last week from California, by the
way of the Isthmus, and the receipt of considerable
sums in gold dust, coming upon a market previously
overstocked with unemployed capital, had the effect of
carrying up the prices of United Sta'es Stocks and
Treasury notes very high.
Treasury notes bearing six per cent. interest, which
were selling at the departure of the last steamer for 114 f,
brought on Friday last 117 f; and although they have
since receded somewhat after so great and sudden a rise,
they were sold to-day at 116. In like manner United
States Sixes of '67, which were at 114 f on Tuesday,
brought on Friday 1161.
To-day the quotations are not so high, but denote a
very considerable rise since the preceding steamer. The
rafatnneesiylaisssktooikeasxrpeeharlatonake measurably, but in no great extent
of this rise.

Since the departure of the steamer Niagara, there
has been a moderate business done in flour, chiefly from
the home trade, without any material change in prices.
The export demand is chiefly confined partly to lower
grades of uninspected and fine, which sell at 4 doll, to
4 doll. 12.1 c. per barrel.
The common and state' may be quoted at 4 doll. 50c.
to 4 doll. 56-4-c., and the straight and better brands at
4 dolls. 62ic. to 4 doll. 75c. Southern kinds are scarce,
and held with sales at 4 doll. 94c. to 5 doll. for Baltimore,
Georgetown, Brandywine, &c.
Rye flour is in demand, at 3 doll.
There is a demand for the best samples of wheat—

OVAL CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.
The thirty-second anniversary festival of this excellent
nstitution was celebrated at the London Tavern on
Saturday evening, when about 100 gentlemen, friends
and patrons of the charity, sat down to a sumptuous
dinner. His Grace the Duke of Buccleugh was to have
taken the chair, but was prevented by indisposition.
Charles Forbes, Esq., one of the treasurers of the insti-
tution, in Highland costume, officiated as chairman in the
Duke's absence, and very efficiently and gracefully dis-
charged the duties of the chair. The chairman, on his
entrance into the room, was preceded by Mr. Angus
M'liay, her Majesty's piper, the piper of the Highland
Society of London, and the pipers of the juvenile band
of the asylum, accompanied by the vice-presidents and
stewards. During dinner, and at intervals afterwards,
the juvenile band of the asylum, under Mr. Byford,
and the juvenile pipers, under her Majesty's piper,
played several spirit-stirring martial airs. !eliss Stewart,
Miss Thornton, and Messrs. Kenny, Charles Cooper, and
Farquharson Smith, sang several glees and songs at
intervals during the evening, accompanied by Mr. G. F.
Taylor on the grand piano. The Scottish airs sung by
Miss Thornton were generally and especially admired,
and loudly encored.
On the removal of the cloth the usual loyal and con-
stitutional toasts were given from the chair, and duly
responded to.

ihe children maintained and educated at the asylum
were then introduced into the room, preceded by the
pipers, and their fine healthy appearance, and their
joyous and intelligent faces, elicited the unqualified ad-
miration of the whole company.
The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the toast of the evening,
said, that was the first occasion that ho had had the
honour of taking the chair at an anniversary dinner of
this institution, in which he had felt always a deep and,
ho hoped, a lasting interest.—(Applause.) Perhaps it
might be expected that he should ~.ter at some length
into the circumstances of the Royal Caledonian Asylum;
but he thought the readiest and best appeal to the as-
sembly would be to look around to those children,—
(Great applause.) In the toast which he had to give
there was a special allusion to the girl,' school. The
girl,' school, as most of them were aware, was a part of
the institution that was established mainly by the kind-
ness of a gentleman whom he hoped to have seen pre-
sent that evening, but who had been prevent
from attending—he meant Mr. Matheson.—(Cheers.)
His (Mr. Matheson's) handsome donation had
enabled them to carry out what was ono of the
most essential parts of the institution, viz., the girls'
school. The girls were that portion of their rising race
whose nurture re quired the most especial care and ten-
derness.—(Applause.) Those little girls were present
that evening to the number of 50, and he hoped shortly
to see their number doubled. He hoped also that every
one of them would become a good member of the com-
munity. It was by the munificent donation of Mr.
Matheson that those little girls were being educated ;
and he (the Chairman) trusted Lthat the result of that
day's meeting would show that their hearts were ready
to respond to the appeals msde to them on behalf of those
children they saw before them.—(Cheers.) The toast
he had to propose was, " The Caledonian Asylum, and
may the offspring i f the brave never want a protector."
Mr. GEORGE LINDSAY, one of the auditors, then en-
tered into seine particulars respecting the institution. He
said there had been, last year, 74 boys and 48 girls main-
tained in the institution. The expenditure during the
year had been 3,7401, and he grieved to say that the
whole receipts last year had scarcely been 1,000/. They
had now reduced their capital stock, so that
if the annual subscriptions and donations did not come in
more rapidly and largely than hitherto in the course of
seven years this asylum must have an end altogether;
and those 122 children would be cast upon the wide
world, and God knows what would become of them.
Several other appropriate toasts were given and re-
sponded to in the course of the evening, and the com-
pany separated about 11 o'clock.
The donations made in the course I.o%h:fir:men:ye
amounted to nearly 600/., including icoge
from the Duchess of

Roxburgh, and 15/.

Judge
of thee
Advocate of thy, Fleet, assembled yesterday morning, at
9 o'clock, on board the Victory flag-ship, in this har-
bour, to try Commander Lewis de Teissier Prevost, of
the Pantaloon, 10, on the following charge:--
" For that the said Commander Lewis de Teissier
Prevost, when in command of her Majesty's slurp, Pan-
taloon, did, on the 10th day of September, 1848, leave
her Majesty's sloop, Ranger in the Porto Grande of the
island of St. Vincent, when such last-mentioned sloop
was in distress, without having rendered all the assist-
anca to the said last-mentioned sloop which was then in
the power of the said Commander Lewis de Teissier
Prevost, and which he ought to have afforded."
Mr. James Hoskins, solicitor of Portsmouth and Gos-
port, acted as the prisoner's " friend."
The evidence in this case was very heavy and lengthy,
and has already appeared before the public in the details
of the trial at Plymouth of Commander Newlacd, of
the Ranger, who was the principal witness in the present
trial.

Commander Prevost, in defence, having made a very
long statement, several witnesses wire called and ex-
amined, after which the court was cleared for delibera-
tion. On re-opening the Judge-Advocate announced
that the Court had declared the charge fully proved, and
adjudged the prisoner to be dismissed from the command
of her Majesty's sloop Pantaloon.
The following officers, Acting-Lieutenant, Mates, and
Midshipmen in the Royal Navy, passed examination in
gunnery on board the Excellent, qualifying for the rank
of Lieutenant, on Saturday:—Messrs. Burdon (Acting-
Lieutenant), Smith, Ward, and Stupart, of the Excellent;
and Messrs. Turner and I'ochin.

Her Majesty is expected at Gosport to-morrow, at
about at half•past four o'clock, P.M., en route to Osborne.

The meeting, which was composed almost wholly of the

andsr r a
friendsl rros—
Chairman, after briefly alluding to the objects of the in-
stitution and the claims which it had upon the wealthy
for support, called on Mr. Watson to road the report.
It appeared from this document that the institution is
now completely organised, and that 81 persons have be-
come members, 24,0 f whom have paid the requisite life
subscription. The expenditure since the commencement
of the institution amounts to 153/. 9s. 3d., and the total
receipts to 2,2241. 13s. 4d. Notwithstanding this grati-
fying statement the directors do not feel justified in
commencing operations until the receipts amount to
5,000/.-a sum which, considering the objects of the
institution and the number and wealth of its patrons,
tin re is every reason to hope will soon be contributed.
After the reading of the report several resolutions were
moved by the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, Mr. Lewis, and
others; and a vote of thanks having been given to the
chairman, the meeting separated.

LONDON, MONDAY, JULY 2, 1849.

The enemies of the existing religious institutions,
and those who desire the abolition of the House of
Lords, could not have selected any circumstance so
well calculated to further the realisation of their
desires as that which the Lords. themselves have
crested by endeavouring to annul the rights and
privileges of the other branch of the Legislature to
admit as Members of that branch whomsoever they
deem Members, and have declared to be eligible to
sit, and by endeavouring to annul the rights and
privileges of the constituencies of England to choose
their own representatives; for the rights of all the
electoral bodies in the Queendom are wantonly vio-
lated by this act of a majority in the House of Lords
interdicting the admission phid4ron ROTHSCHILD into
the House of Commons. ‘ ' 4'
What does the inratuatetract:amount to but this ?
" You, the. `.Low-er House,' most understand that
you are lowly,-flai you site there only by our per-
mission ; tbat we,'the House of Peers, claim the
right to keep the upper, hand, and that no person

shall be a Member of your House except with our
concurrence, which must be first obtained." And to
the electoral bodies it amounts to this :—" If, notwith-
standing the influence which we exercise in every
county, city, and borough in the island, enabling us
in many instances to return our sons and nominees,
as the nominal Members of the constituency, yet in
li
the few places where something more nearly resem-
bling freedom of choice exists, if you shall dare to
elect a person whom we disapprove he shall not be
permitted to take his seat. Ydli may elect certainly,
but you shall elect only such persons as we approve."
Well, if this is to be the practice and to be quietly
acquiesced in, the Constitution is at an end, and in-
stead of living under the boasted system of three
estates, QUEEN, Lords, and Commons, we live under
a simple oligarchy ; elections may be abandoned alto-
gether in future as a mere mockery, and if there is
any use whatever in a Lower House let the Members
of it be nominated by the House of Lords, each
Noble Lord exerci,ing the privilege of appointing a
number, proportioned according to the antiquity of
his title, or according to his capacity in length,
breadth, and thickness, say by the length of his purse,
the breadth of his acres, and the thickness of his skull,
or for any other equally good reason.
Strange, indeed, at a time when all the old insti-
tutions of Europe are crumbling to dust, when
hereditary legislators are abolished in all the conti-
nental states, that our hereditary legislators, the last
remaining—we will not say;the last rose of summer;
some might designate them the last of the Goths,
the last of the Vandals, or the last of the Mohicans—
we will merely say the last relics of :a bygone state
of society, thus provoke a contest which, how ever
unruffled the surface at present, can end only in de-
termining whether the people of England or the Lords
of England are the mightier—and there is not much
difficulty in predicting which of the two must yield.

If the Lords had desired to undergo a defeat the
most signal they could not possibly have pitched
upon a question involving more circumstances of dis-
advantage to themselves and giving Tr.ore striking
advantages to the popular c ause. First, we see it
brings them into collision with the representatives of
the people in the House of Commons. Here is a
breach of privilege. It is a question of internal
arrangement only. " We, the Lower House, seek not
tointerfere with the arrangements of 3 ou, the Upper
House; if new Peers descend, or are created by any other
mode than a descent, such as ascent, we have never
interfered with such intromission of new blood, but
we are now in an altered relationship : you interdict
our Members from taking their seats; we shall not
be long content with acting on the defensive, we
shall act on the offensive. Since you attempt to eject
us, we shall attempt to eject you, and we shall see
who is the stronger." Such would be the course of
events that a contest would necessarily assume if
prolonged by the stubbornness of the Peers.

But, say the Noble Lords, it is a religious question,
and then the bigots, the hypocrites, and the saints
begin to whine. But let us accept it as a religious
question, as one vitally affecting the principles of
religious liberty; and has not every sect and every
denomination of Christians, every believer and every
unbeliever, a deep personal interest in the admission
of Baron ROTHSCHILD ? Once let the Bishop of
EXETER and his clique have the power of determining
upon the true faith—let them decide who
only is the real Simon Pure—let them preach from
the text that " The saints shall inherit the earth,"
and let tiem have the power of saying who are
saints and who are Christians, and it is easy to see
that excommunication would extend far beyond
ejecting the Hon. Member for London. They would
doubtless pronounce that Mr. KERSHAW should be
expelled from the House of Commons, because he is
a Congregationalist ; that Mr. BaoTuEßTox should
be expelled, because he is a Southcottarian ; that Mr.
PETO should not be permitted to sit, because he is a
13.iptht ; Mr. JO/IN O'CONNELL, because he is a Roman
Catholic ; Mr. BRIGHT, because he is a member of
the Society of Friends; Mr. HEYWOOD, because he
is an Unitarian ; nor Mr. W. J. Fox, because, though
he swears on the truth of a Christian, none of the
Christian sects recognize him as one of their body,
and he publicly teaches opinions differing from the
reputed orthodoxy more than even do the Unitarians.
Thus the electors of Stockport, of Salford, of Norwich,
or Limerick, of Manchester, of North Lancashire,
of Oldham, have common cause with the electors of
the city of London ; and, indeed, what constituency
is not interested in the question ? For if the
House of Lori's may set aside the elections as
being unsatisfactory to them on religious, they
may claim to set them aside on political grounds, and
even if they restrict their vote to religious disqualifi-
cation, Hon. Members who belong to the Church of
England, as well as those who belong to the Churches
of Rome and Scotland, and the Dissenting Churches,
are equally interested in resisting the veto, because
numerous recent events shoW that the Bishop of
EXETER and his party would anathmatize and ex-
communicate the heterodox members of their own
Church, treating as heterodox the majority of the
Church as much so as they do the Honourable Mem-
ber of the Church of Jerusalem.

A Sunday paper which always espouses the cause
of the bigots, vindicating the course adopted by
the House of Lords, says—

" To suffer the Jews to dwell in the land, and to trade
in it unmolested, notwithstanding the blasphemous cha-
racter of their creed, is the utmost indulgence which a
Christian Legislature can be expected to show, or they
themselves can reasonably demand."
But if an opinion prevails that even this privilege
exists, it is a mistake. It is little more than a fort-
night since that a Jew, or a person holding some
opinions upon Sabbath observance in common with
the Jews, underwent the ignominious punishment of
being placed in the stocks for two hours, for follow-
ing his peaceable trade or occupation in conformity
with what the Jews hold to be one of the sacred laws
of Gor, a law which, strange to say, is inscribed over
the holy altar or communion-table of almost all our
churches in England, and thus held up to public
veneration at the very time when the unfortunate
Jew or other individual is placed in the pillory or
the stocks by the human law for his faithful obedience
to what he considers to be the Divine law.

We copy the following account of the occurrence
from the Lincolnshire Advertiser of the 23d ultimo:—
" THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENT.—A person named
Dickenson, in this town, Boston, underwent the punish-
ment of being placed in the stocks for two hours on
Friday, the 15th instant, because his notions of Sabbath
observance differ from those of some °Ellis neighbours.
Re had been guilty of the heinous offence of shaving
his neighbour on a Sunday morning, for which he was
eondemned to pay the penalty of five shillings ! Like
the church•rate martyrs who go to prison for
conscience-sake, Dickenson steadfastly refused to
pay the amount, so as his Christian brothers could
lot obtain it from his purse, they compelled him
to pay in person. One of them, in communicating the
fact to a local paper, says that the degradation and suf-
fering to which the poor man was exposed, afforded them
considerable amusement.' There were large numbers,
however, to whom his sufferings afforded no amusement,
but who, on the contrary, sympathised with the perse-
cuted individual; they stood by him in his hour of peril,
and raised a small subscription for the martyr."
All this occurred in a country where we boast of
civil and religious liberty. It did not take place in
the dark, in a corner, or even in a small country vil-
lage, where the parson magistrate and the squire have
the administration of the law. It was in broad
daylight, and in the principal seaport town of
the largest county in England, except York-
shire. If this be the law, the wonder may be that
in such a town magistrates can be found to demean
themselves in being its administrators.
It is obvious that here is a manifest infringement
of the permission of the Jews to dwell unmolested in
the land, and follow their trade or occupation. If he
abstains from labour on the seventh day of the week
in conformity with the fourth commandment,
he has obeyed what he considers the Divine
law. You may tell him he should respect
the Christian Sabbath also, but that Divine
law not only tells him to keep holy the Sabbath-day,
but says, " Six days shalt thou labour." This one
command is as emphatic as the others, but if he is to
keep holy the first day in the week as well as the
seventh, he violates this command to labour six days
'
besides that to prevent his working is a confiscation
of one-sixth, or a proportion equal to nearly seventeen
p3r cent. of his labour.

DICKENSON may or may not have been a Jew, but
it is perfectly clear that his case is precisely that of
the Jews, and that the question of civil and reli-
gious liberty, the rights of the House of Commons,
!"le rights of the citizens of London, and tLa
rights of the electoral body throughout the island,

are all involved in this election and rejection of Baron
ROTHSCHILD. The son of the Duke of RUTLAND,

my Lord JOHN MANNERS, is put forth as the cham-
pion of the Peerage, and affects to be in favour of pro-
tection to " native industry." Is this protecting native
industry, to fine and imprison an industrious man for
following his peaceful occupation ? Lord Jot's
MANNERS professes to belong to the Young England
school, so anxious for the social amelioration of the
people. Is this social amelioration, to compel the po-
pulation to have dirty faces and grizzly beards on a
Sunday ?
Yet these are the results arising from making
religious opinions a test for Legislators. Already
the Duke of RUTLAND nominates his two sons
for two out of the forty counties of England—
Leicestershire and Cambridgeshire, to say nothing of
his influence in other counties. Is not one-twentieth
part of
,the county representation a sufficient share
for this grasping Legislator but that he must seek to
nominate to the representation of the city of
London also? However, the movement will render
it necessary to carry the war into the enemy's camp,
as it is proposed by the Duke of RUTLAND to add the
city of London to his close boroughs, it will be-
come necessary for the friends of civil and
religious liberty to rescue Leicestershire and Cain-
bridgeshire from his nomineeship by the creation of
freeholds. The contest between the Peerage and the
People having been commenced must be proceeded
with in real earnest—and " may GoD defend the
right !"

Her MAJESTY'S proposed visit to Ireland will, we
doubt not, create very. general satisfaction on both
sides of St. George's Channel, and it will, in all pro-
bability, be productive of the happiest consequences.
It is true that the visit of a Sovereign to any part of
her own dominions cannot be regarded as a political
event, nevertheless, under the peculiar circumstances
of the present case, calling to mind the many griev-
ances and heartburnings mutually inflicted and suf-
fered by Englishmen and Irishmen, we would fain
recognise in this movement of their common SOVE-
REIGN the omen of a happier state of things. When,
some years back, QUEEN VICTORIA visited KING
LOUIS-PHILIPPE at the Chateau d'Eu, all the world
rejoiced in such a significant pledge of good under-
standing between two great nations. But if the
friendship of foreign countries be a subject of satis-
faction—if Mr. COBDEN and the Peace Congress are
right in yearning for the advent of that auspicious
time when
" No more shall nation against nation ris?,
Nor ardent warriors meet with hateful eyes."

how much more satisfactory, and how much more
desirable is the absence of all dissension among the
subjects of our SOVEREIGN ! It is well to extend the
hand of fellowship to the stranger, but much more
good it is for brethren to dwell together in
unity." The forgetfulness or the neglect of this
very important truth is the root of much of the mu-
tual grievances of England and Ireland. The inha-
bitants of both kingdoms seem too much to lose sight
of their mutual relationship and their mutual depend-
ence. They speak and act as though their interests
were divided, and their united prosperity incompatible,
The Irish patriot pours forth a tirade of eloquent in-
dignation against the usurpation and injustice of the
" Saxon." He tells you that the wealth of Ireland,
drained from her starving population by the abseetee
landlords, goes to swell the treasures of her rich neigh-
bour ; that in place of the national Parliament which
they desire, the Irish people are forced to submit to
the laws of a foreign Legislature, and compelled to
support a Church to which they do not belong, &c.,
&c. (It would be almost impossible to give a sum-
mary of the grievances, real or imaginary, which
swell the list of the Irish agitator.) On the
other hand, the English philosopher shakes his bead
sadly and despondingly while he dilates on the
errors and enormities of the irreclaimable set beyond
the Channel. He expatiates on Irish idleness and
ingratitude. He points to the fertile lands which
lie waste for want of culture, and to the starving
beggars who die of want rather than live by work.
He extols the generosity with which England poured
forth her charity to relieve the horrors of the Irish
famine, and then he bitterly animadverts on the in-
gratitude with which that same generosity has been
repaid. But why should we pursue the intolerable
catalogue ? The same st ain, with infinite varieties,
has been dinned into our ears iisque ad nauseam.
English injustice and Irish iniquity are become more
wearisome than a thrice-told tale. Let us hope we
have heard the last of both. With the visit of her
MAJESTY to Dublin we look for the commencement
of that "good time," as far as regards the mutual
relationship of the sister countries, which has been
so very long in ." coming." The alteration to be
lasting must be mutual. The English people and the
British Parliament, following the example of the
SOVEREIGN, must bear in mind that Ireland also is
an integral portion of the empire. Queen VICTORIA,
by her visit to Dublin, shows that she feels herself
the Queen of Ireland as well as the Queen of Eng-
land, and, in like manner, the Parliament assembled
at Westminster must evince by their acts that (no
matter the spot in which they hold their sittings)
they are the representatives of the people of the
whole United Kingdom, from Cork to Antrim, as
well as from the Land's End to John e'Groat's.
On the other hand, we feel assured, without
the smallest shadow of a misgiving, that
the generous and warm-hearted Irish people—and,
whatever faults may be laid to their charge, all admit
that they are a generous and warm. hearted people—
will receive her MAJESTY with an enthusiasm and
devotion which will make her ask, with astonishment,
if it is possible that she had ever been told the Irish
were rebels, or that any Minister had ever hesitated
in counseling her to visit one of the most beautiful
portions of her dominions, inhabited by so loyal and
affectionate a people.

CABINET COUNCIL.—(THIS DAY.)--The Members
of the Cabinet, except the Lord Chancellor, assembled
at the Foreign-office to-day, at one o'clock. The
Noble Premier came from Pembroke Lodge to attend
the Council, and Earl Grey from his villa at Datchet.

DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY AND THE COURT
FROM TowN FOR THE SEASON.—The Queen and
Prince Albert, accompanied by their Royal High-
nesses the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal,
Prince Alfred, and the Princesses Helena, Louise,
and Alice, and attended by the Countess of Mount
Edgecumbe, Lady-in-Waiting, the Hon. Colonel C.
B. Phipps, and the royal retinue, including the Rev.
Mr. Birch and Miss Hillyard, Preceptor and Precep-
tress of t.1:19 royal children, left Buckingham Palace
this afternoon, bam. c.-TlsAges andfour, for the Nine
Elms station of the South-Western Railway, eacorted
by a party of the 11th Hussars. The royal party
proceeded * by special train, under charge of Mr.
Stovin, to Gosport, where they embarked on board
the Fairy Royal steam-tender, for East Cowes, and
thence to Osborne. Her Majesty is expected to re-
turn to town early in the ensuing month, to prorogue
Parliament in person.
MAZZIM, THE ROMAN TRIUMVIBdr—We give the
following interesting account of one of the most re-
markable men in our times, from the Inverness
Advertiser :—" In the mingled moderation and dignity
the high and unswerving resolution which
have characterised the councils and proceedings
—and in the eloquence and cogency of argument
and statement, which have marked the manifestoes and
other formal documents of the Roman Triumvirate, may
be traced the hand, and the presiding genius of the Tri-
umvir, Joseph Mezzini, who is unquestionably the man of
the crisis, and a greater or a worthier than whom old Rome
never produced in her hours of peril. This gentleman is U.
•
same whose correspondence was so basely tampered with
some years ago, by Sir James Graham—when, in for-
getfulness alike of his character of a British Minister
and the honour of au English gentleman, he stooped
to become the instrument of . the vile espionage
of Austria and the Pope ; and thus added a
new descriptive phrase to the English language,
not likely soon to die out, the ' Grahaming of letters.'
During many years of exile Mr. Mezzini was a resi-
dent in the British metropolis, enjoying the respect
and esteem of all who knew him, and supporting
himself by his contributions to the leading periodi-
cals and journals. By his industry and ability, he
not only earned an honourable independence, but wes
helpful to many of his less fortunate countrymen;
and the unwearied zeal and labour which he evinced
in behalf of the schools established for the benefit
of the crowd of outcast Italian boys brought aver to
London, will Lot soon be forgotten. Very shortly
before he was summoned
from these peaceful and
beneficent labours, to play so distinguished a part
in the great drama of Italian affairs, he contri-
buted a
sir gular power and justness of view, to Lewe's
_Edinburgh

TUE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and
of yesterday.
On Friday Captain KLEBER, of the 4th Regiment
of the line, was condemned to death by a COANGAR
NlER•appointed court-martial, for high treas,o, the
said treason consisting in his having cried " Vive la
Constitution" on the 13th June ; General CHANGAR-
NIER and Louts NAPOLEON 130NAPARTE having them-
selves sworn to observe that very c.,nstitution for
shouting in favour of which Captain KLEBER (a de-
scendant of NAPOLEON'S friend, General KLEBLR) is
condemned to death.
The National thinks so terrible a sentence cannot
be carried into effect, "for," as it says—

"In the actual state of our manners and in these re-
volutionay times, when a rapid succession of victories
and defeats turns the vanquished of the eve into con-
querors of the morrow, and seems to change law with
power, it appears to us so dreadful a sentence cannot be
executed. Captain Lieber is protected by honourable
services, by the souvenir of the hero of Egypt, so nobly
associated in Egypt with the man of genius whose name
is borne by bl. Louis Napoleon. Besides, there is one
consideration on this subject which is decisive, and must
produce an effect in the region of power; it is this:—
Two attempts were made against the Government of
July which are yet present to the minds of the people of
France, recollecting which they could not comprehend a
military execution grounded on the motives invoked
against Captain Weber, under the administration of the
actual President of the Republic."
The Provisional Government of February abo•
lished the punishment of death for political offences,
and to that abolition many of the men now in power
owe their lives. Now, seeing the precarious tenure
by which power is held in France, it would be lite-
rally suicidal in those at the head of affairs to create
such a precedent as would be created by the exe-
cution of Captain KLEBER.
The Legislative Assembly has authorised the pro-
secution of MM. MARTIN BERNARD, GrAMBON, JAMES
DEMONTREY, and BaivEs.
General CuANGARNIER has appointed a commis-
sion, composed of a I:eutenant-colonel and three
captains, to commence an inquiry into the events of
the 13th, under the direction of the Attorney-
General.

The Moniteur publishes the following dispatch from
General OUDINOT, dated Villa Santucci, June 24 :
" FROM 21sT to 22D.—Monsieur le Ministre,—On
the 21st it was thought that the breaches in front of the
place of attack was sufficiently advanced that the assault
might be made in the evening. Every arrangement
was made to secure the success of this important opera-
tion.

"It had been decided that the two bastions should
be closed at their gorge by gabions, and that the breach
of the curtain, flanked by the crown of the bastions,
should remain free to allow the entry of the reserves.
" At eleven o'clock at night the signal for the assault
was given; the operation was executed agreeably to
previous arrangements. It completely succeeded; a spe-
cial report contains all the details.
" The top of the bastions, and particularly of No. 6,
slopes towards the city, which it commands entirely.
In the day three batteries prepared by the enemy threw
projectiles on the works of the night, and forced the
workmen of bastion C to retire; the guard of the trenches
alone remained during the night. The enemy returned
to a house in which 46 prisoners had been made at the
moment of the assault; but they were immediately driven
out again. The day was occupied in consolidating the
establishment m the bastions.

" The old battery, No. 2, en the right of the parallel,
is again put in a state to reply to the fires of the enemy's
butteries places at Saint Alexis and on Mont Testuccio.
The latter, since the disarmament of battery No. 2, dis-
turbing the interior of the trenches, particu'arly in the
neighbourhood of the breaches. The platforms anti the
epaulet-tient of battery No. 10 were repaired during tie
night.
" Fnom THE 22D to THE 23D.--The night has been
employed in consolidating our position in bastions 6
and 7. During the day the parapets of the trenches
were actively fired on by the enemies artillery.
Covered communications were opened in the rear of
the trenches, and a new approach commenced on the
left, which, starting from the Villa Cursini, closes in
bastion 8, the gorge of which, defended by a numerous
artillery-, is difficult of access from the interior of the
place. This approach is to be united to the salient point
of the bastion.

"From the top of the breach of the curtain
can be perfectly seen, and battered advantageously—l.
The battery of S. Pietroin Montorio, which so much
annoyed by its fire the establishment on the breaches.
—2. The first Aurelian entrenchment. —3. The entire
city of Rome.
" This position is important to be occupied. We
commenced in the night the establishment of a battery
for two 16 and two 24 pounders, which will be desig-
nated as No. 11. In order to have the guns at a suffi-
cient height to produce a good effcct, it was necessary
to form a high embankment.
" At daylight the embrasures which had been com-
pleted remained masked, and the construction of the
platforms and the getting up the guns was proceeded
with. At eight o'clock the enemy unmasked a new
battery on the left, which commanded our works ob-
liquely. Oa the right the position of Alexis was aban-
doned. The enemy has carried his guns more in the
rear on a point out of sight of the embrasures of battery
No. 2. It was necessary to form a defence on both sides
by bags of earth, and the armament of the battery was
retarded.
" Some foot chroseurs established themselves in the
breach of bastion 7. Their fire directed on the newly-
opened battery of the enemy drove them from the em-
brasure, but the enemy removed their guns behind the
flank of bastion 8, and were thus able to continue their
fire, which was, however, less dangerous for our battery
No. 11.

" It appears that the enemy's artillery were taken
along the Aurelian entrenchments, choosing is positions
and changing them as they found themselves annoyed
by the fire of the chasseurs.

" At noon it was discovered that the embankment of
battery 11 was not sufficiently solid, and that in spite of
every precaution taken it was feared, that from the firing
of the guns a fall of the earth might take place. Sumo
additional strengthening was necessary. These different
repairs delayed the opening of the fire of battery 11.
"The mortar battery has directed its fire on the left
flank of bastion 8, the last position of the enemy's artil-
lery. A certain number of shells tell with great preci-
sion on that point, where was alao situated a house,
called the House of Garibaldi, and doubtless also the in-
terior defence of the San Panclarec gate. Battery 10
sought to disturb the enemy in its fire on the breaches;
its fire from the guns on the lei, were also directed
against the left face of bastion 9, and horn the effect
produced we were led to believe, that that part of the
fortification was not very strong.
"'l he casualties during the two days may be approxi•
matively estimated at 20 killed and 60 wounded. Among
the killed are Captains do Jouslard, of the engineers;
Bouvier, of the 31d; and d'Astelet, of the 36th of the
line. Captain Caniuzet and Lieutenant d'flugues of the
36th were among the wounded.

A prosecution by M. CHARLES LAGRANGE, the re-
presentative, against M. de CRUGY, responsible
editor of the Courrier de la Gironde, for a libel,
published in that journal of the 27th January last,
was brought to trial yesterday, before the Court of
Assizes of the Seine. M. CRUGY made default, and
the Advocate-General, M. IVIEyNARD LE FRANC, hav-
ing read the article, called upon the Court to pass
judgment. The article incriminated contained the
following language, applied to M. LAGRANGE:—
" This purveyor of dead bodies, this man, with the
face of a galleyslave, whom all France knows,
prepares his cart and his torches for a new mice en
scene ; while waiting for the expected harvest, this
wretch demands the amnesty with fell pertinacity, in
order to complete his personnel of insurrection." The
Court delivered judgment, declaring M. DE CRUGY
guilty of an outrageous libel and defamation against
M. LAGRANGE, and condemned him to imprisonment
for six months, and to pay a fine of I,ooof.
The Mayor of LIONS has published a letter, declar-
ing that the reports which had been spread of several
soldiers of the garrison having been assassinated
are entirely untrue not a single act of the
kind having been committed. Thee false reports
erceived a more than ordinary attention from the
circumstance of their appearing in the semi-official
journals of the Ministry in such a man ner as to give
them the appearance of authorized communications.
They have served their purpose—they appeared during
the trial of Captain KLEDER, whilst the contradiction
did not arrive until after his condemnation.
The following is the result of the ballot in the
Assembly for members of the Council of State :
Number of voters, 518—Absolute majority, 260.

These gentlemen alone having obtained the requisite
number of votes are accordingly declared to be duly
elected.

Another battery of siege pieces of the lst Regi-
ment of Artillery left Grenoble on the 28th ult. for
Toulon, where it was to be embarked for Civita
Vecchia; and letters from Marseilles, referred to by
the National, state that reinforcements to a consider-
able amount were embarked on the 2Gth for the same
place. The same letters add that negotiations were
still going on between the French and the Roman
Governments.

A division of the army of the Alps has been ordered

The PRESIDENT of the Republic has just received,
at a private audience, the Direc'or of the Museum of

tion from the Association of Industrial Inventors,

venting all ldnds of piracy in intellectual matters.

BADEN.

A letter from Frankfort, of the 27th, says :—" The
great body of the Imperial army is to arrive to day
at Carlsruhe, and join the Prussians. The Prince of
PRUS3IA i 3 to command the united army. General
PRUCLINER resigns his post of General of the Em-
pire, and resumes his rank or Lieutenant-General in
the Prussian army."
According to accounts just received, the federal
fortress of Rastalt, in the Grand Duchy of Baden,
has been evautated by the insurgents and surrendered
to the Prussians. This, one cf the strongest fortified
places in Europe, and the last bulwark of the insur-
rection, has thus fallen into the hands of the Prus-
sians, and the insurrection may be considered to be
completely repressed. It is known that the Archduke
Jotter, as representative of the Central Power, in-
tended to besiege this fortress with the troops of the
Empire and gain possession of it expressly to prevent
its failing into the hinds of the Prussians : but they,
it seems, were beforehand with him.

GOTHA.
THE CON STI FUTION.
A letter from Gotha, of the 221, gives some details
cf what is taking place in that town. It was on
that day that the conferences of the old members
of the Gagern party in the ex-Parliament of Frank-
fort was to open. On the 24th M.T. I3ECKERETII,
MEVISSEN, STEDTMANN, BURGERS, WuRAI, and DE
HAMBOURG arrived there, and were to be followed by
several others. MM. HANs ItAumna from Frederica,
STEINDORFF from Schleswig, ROSELER from Vienna,
MAKOWIESKA from Cracow, &c., were expected. The
serious question of the publicity of the sittings would
be discussed in the first meeting. The deputies from
Schleswig and their adherents were discouraged, in
consequence of the Government Bill not making any
mention of their province, and even disposed to vote
against publicity. This meeting, in which the mem-
bers of the Right and Centre, and it is said, even
some of the moderate Opposition join, has for its object
an examination of the Constitution, lately proposed by
the King of PRUSSIA, and ascertain whether it can be
made the basis of an honourable arrangement between
the Governments and the people.
