We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The official announcement of the returns for Paris
has produced an immense sensation among persons of
every class. The Reforme is full of exultation. It
thus commences its song of triumph :
"The electors of the Seine have worthily raised up
the standard of the revolution, at one moment covered
by the vote of the 10th of December. Henceforth, the
moral ascendancy is secured to the Republic, and the
monarchical factions, coalesced by the directors of the
Rue de Poitiers, remain buried in their numerical vic-
tory purchased at the cost of so much intrigue and
falsehood. What sudden conversions! What a change
of attitude! It appears, in truth, that we are returned
to the 25th of February, 1848.

The Ministers suffered some serious defeats on ,1
Saturday in the National Assembly. The Bill intro-

by M. LEON FAUCIIER for the continuance to
General CHANGARNIER of the double command of
the garrison and of the National Guards of Paris, 1
c .me on for discussion. The Ministers wished the
discussion to be postponed, but on a division the ,
motion for postponement was rejected by a majority
of 244 to 254. The discussion was then continued. i
M. ODILoN BARROT warmly supported the Bill,
which was as warmly attacked by M. GREYY. On a
division the Ministers were defeated, the numbers
being—

General LE BRETON, one of the questors, then
proposed that the Assembly should acle•,ourn till

ment at a moment when an armed Revolution was at
the gates of Strasburg, and when Russia was march-
ing into Austria. M. LE BRETON'S motion was
rejected by a Jesie majority, and the Assembly
adjourned to Monday.
A Cabinet Council was held on Saturday night, at
which many of the members recommended resistance
to the decision of the Assembly, the continuance of
General CHANGARNIER in the command, and the dis-

face, however, of the votes of the army, as recorded, it
was felt that, perchance, the " engineer might

moderate councils prevailed ; and in the .Moniteur of
Sunday appeared an announcement that the General
of Brigade PERROT is appointed ad interim Comman-
der-in-Chief of the National Guards of the Seine.
General CHANGARNIER retains the command of the
troops of all arms stationed in the first military
divison.

The German Parliament resolved on the 17th inst.,

AUSTRIA. AND HUNGARY.

The EMPEROR returned to Vienna on the 12th.

The Weiner Zeitung of the 12th publishes an army
bulletin describing in magniloquent language an ad-
vantage gained by the Imperialists over the Magyars
at Schutt. Verily the Austrians are thankful for
small mercies, for on looking to the return of
casualties we find that the whole loss of the llunga-
rians amounted to " twelve killed, and several pri-
soners."

The Pesther Zeituag of the 6th contains the fol-
lowing order
The bombardment of Pesth, which has been con-
tinued from yesterday evening during the whole night up
to the present hour, has been chiefly occasioned, I am
persuaded, by the firing of the citizens from the Pesth
bank of the Danube. Shooting either in the town or on
the hank of the river is strictly forbidden. Whoever is
caught in the fact, or convicted of shooting will, after
trial by court-martial, suffer sentence of death.
STEPHEN PATAY, Commandant of the Garrison.

_ .

The 4th battalion of the Deutschmeister Regiment
of Infantry, commanded by Major TRENB, at the re-
cent affair at Jablunka lost 200 men killed, besides
wounded and prisoners. The Ist and 2d battalions
of the same regiment, who were to penetrate into
Upper Hungary, under General Thaco, lost at Po-
lena the colonel, Count BUBNA, 17 officers, and 300
men killed. In South Hungary things are not much
better. At Funfkirchin the inhabitants rose and
expelled from the town the Croat garrison of four
battalions, for which deed the BAN has commissioned
General OTTINGBR to chastise them, and to impose a
fine of 100,000 florins in silver.

By way of Cracow 30,000 Russians have advanced
into Hungary and 20,000 by way of Lemberg.
DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS BY THE

HUNGARIANS.

The Cologne Gazette of the 19th (second edition),
states, on the authority of one of its Vienna corre-
spondents, that BEM had attacked and disarmed a
Russian corps of 30,000 men; that a great number of
the Russian officers had gone over to his side; that
the Hungarians had captured 60 pieces of cannon ;
and that the disarmed Russians had been driven
across the frontier.
Another correspondent writes on the 14th of May,
that Field-Marshal PASKIEWICH, with 18,000 men,
had attempted to enter Transylvania, but had been
attacked by BEM and entirely routed.

General CHANGARNIER called the Colonels of the

terday, to bid them adieu. In dOing so he made them
a speech, intimating that the separation would pro-
bably be temporary and of short endurance. It ap-
pears from this that there is an intention of bringing
forward a proposition in the new Assembly for the
maintenance of the double command in his hands.
He passed a high eulogium on General PERROT, so

The Ministry is in the agonies of dissolution.
Marshal BUGEAUD arrived in Paris yesterday, and
will be, it is said, charged with the formation of a
Ministry preparatory to a coy d'etat for the destruc-
tion of the Republic. He will have all his subordi-
nate Ministers military men. Should such a
Ministry be appointed, we may expect to see Louis
NAPOLEON in London by the close of the season.
Several of h's best friends have urged Louis NAPO-
LEON to send for M. DUFAURE, but he refuses to do
SO. General LAMORICIERE and General CAYAIGNAC
have both been sounded, but they refuse to join either
a BUGEAUD or a coalition Ministry, although they
will join any Ministry of which M. DUFAUEE shall
be the chief.

morning
to which recent circumstances seem to lend
no small credit. It is—that the projected marriage
has been broken off, on the ground of settlement. A
handsome annuity was to have been settled on him ;
but it transpired that a still larger amount would
have been
more convenient. This raised doubts
and and doubts are staggerers to begin with in such a
