There is now no danger that the perpetrator of :a

['HE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Moniteur du Soir contains an official an-
nouncement of the arrival of King CHARLES ALBERT
in Paris from Bourges, which he left by special train
at half-past ten yesterday morning. This announce-
ment was, however, subsequently stated to be in•
correct.
A letter from Turin, published in the semi-official
Patric, thus explains the views of the new King of
SARDINIA, to a-k advice on which from the PRESI-
DENT of the French Republic is the object of the
mission of GIOBERTI. The letter which is dated
March 30, says—
"We are entering on a new phasis. The king, who
hesitated yesterday, has come to a decision to-day. He
desires peace, but an honourable peace, fur Piedmont.
Every body now expects that the Chamber of Deputies
will be dissolved, and that soon afterwards there will be a
modificatian of the Royal statute in the following sense
—a fixed electoral qualification, a modified liberty of
the press, and the exclusion of Lombards and Vene-
tians from public offices. As to the views of the Cabinet
of Vienna, the following are, if I am well informed,
the basis of the treaty of peace, which will be pro-
posed to the King, and which, it is said, he is dis-
posed to accept. An offensive and defensive alliance
with Austria ; a war contribution of 100 millions
of francs, but, in exchange, the annexation of the Duchies
of Parma and Placentia to Piedmont; a complete am-
nesty for the Lombards and Venetians; an Italian Con-
gress for the federation of all the states of Italy under
the patronage of Austria; the seat of the federation to
be at Milan; and the votes to be as follows with refe-
rence to the extent of territory:—Lonabardy and Venice,
10; Naples, 10; Piedmont, 10; Rome, 6; Tuscany, 3;
Modems, 2; the re-establishment of the Pope and of the
Grand Duke of Tuscany. As to the kingdom of Ve-
netian-Lombardy it will form a separate Government,
with a very liberal constitution united by the bonds of
fraternity with the other states of the Monarchy. The
entry of Gioberti into the Ministry has caused a great
sensation. The demagogical journals are furious; but
the King seems resolved to give him an immense in.
fludnce. He was in conference with him during the
whole of the night, and at the close of the conference
Gioberti set out fur Paris. The troops are returning to
Turin. They know how the Republican journals have
spoken of them, and are therefore full of animosity to
the red party. Antonio Profumo, the Mayor of Genoa,
has applied for troops to keep down the agitation in that
city. The corps of De la Marmora, now composed of
8,000, will be sent to maintain order."
The object of the mission of Chevalier HUBNER, the
Austrian Envoy Extraordinary, is said to be to represent
to the French Government how heavily the yoke of
Russia presses upon Austria, and to request the assist.
ance of France in shaking it off, in order to do which
it will be necessary that France should come to an
understanding with Austria on the Italian question.
He is, consequently, commissioned to urge upon the
French Government the necessity of intervening in
the affairs of Rome while Austria takes possession of
Tuscany. HUBNER, faithful to his old instincts
acquired under METTERNICH, does not hesitate
to have recourse to cunning and misrepresentation
in order to induce M. DROUIN ns L'HUTS to expel
the Lombard exiles from France, which is in all pro-
bability the real object of his mission. He declares that
the administration of RADETZSRY has been of the
mildest possible character—that the Lombards gene-
rally are devoted, heart and soul, to Austria, and he
urges that the exiles should be forced to return with-
out Austria being called on to give any guarantee
for their safety.
Towards the close of the sitting of the National
Assembly on Tuesday, that most unfortunate and
testy of Ministers, M. LEON FAUCHER, suffered
another defeat. Ho moved for a grant of money
to defray the expenses of the political and moral
superintendence of the theatres; but the Assembly
recollecting that the political and moral superintend-
ence of M. LEON FAUCHER had been hitherto not
only to permit, hut to encourage the representation
of pieces ridiculing the Repulic and Republican in-
stitutions, and rigidly to forbid the representation of
all pieces reflecting even in the slightest degree on
Monarchy or Monarchs, or containing the faintest
ghost of a joke against any member of the Ministry,
the " fat, bald. headed Visier," as they call. ODILON
BARROT, refused to sanction a grant of such one-sided,
not to say traitorous superintendence, bymajority of
365 to 332. a majori
Louis BLANC, CAUSSIDIERE, HERMEAU, LAVIRRON,
SEIGEUNT, and NAPOLEON CHANCEL have been con-
detnned by default to transpc..tation for life.
PROUDHON'S journal, Le Peuple, was seised on
Tuesday for publishing an article
asserting
t that the
PRESIDENT of the Republic had
contrace tions of a pecuniary character, by which he wasgsao-
hampered that he was prevented from exercising his
own free will and judgment in political matters.
The Union,, the organ of the Legitimatists, states that
the members of the jury panel of the High Court of
Bourges, which was composed of representatives from
all the Councils General of the Departments of France,
held several meetings previous to the striking of the
jury, on the state and prospects of France, which
were presided over by M. RAVEZ, the celebrated Pre-
sident of the Chamber of Deputies under the Restora-
tion. The conclusions arrived at are stated by the Union
to be as follows :—"France is not yet prepared for any
other Government than that of the Republic. The three
great parties who wish to re-establish Monwhy in

France, the Legititnatists, the Or!eanists, and the
Betnpartists form, when unitNl, the majority of the
c(.untry, but each is in a minority NThen comoted
with the other two, and with the Reoublicans of all
shades. To destroy the Reiublie would therefere be
not to restore the Alonar,hy; hut to precipitate France
into new cat::.s.rophes wLien inta!lioly &liver
her over ,to Demagogus and S(;cialivs. Wisdom
and prudence then command; the maintenance of the
existing Constitution until the period of its revision
shall arrive, when the course of action to be pursued
can be determined on according to the then existing
state of affairs."

The Estafette says :—" On Sunday evening and
Monday two columns of Savoyards, Sardinians,
Piedmontese, and other Italians, left Paris, going to
the relief of Italy. A certain number of old Gardes
Mobiles of Paris and Lyons accompany them."
The Moniteur of yesterday publishes the following
official announcement of the blockade of Sicily :
" The Minister of Agriculture and Commerce has ad-
dressed the following circular, dated the 3d of April, to
the Chambers of Commerce of our principal ports :
" 'The Government of the Two Sicilies has notified
to the Minister of the Republic at Naples, that the Gulf
of Palt•rmo has been placed in a state of siege and
blockade by the naval forces of his Sicilian Majesty.
This blockade will be put in execution from the first day
of the present tn,ntli. M. de Rayneval has been at the
same time informed that the Neapolitan ciuizers have
recuivel orders to watch all the coasts of Sicily, in order
to prevent absolutely the introduction of arms and all
matters fit for war.' "

Although the arrival of CHARLES ALBERT in Paris
was announced in the official Moniteur du Soir, it
appears that there was no foundation for the an-
nouncement. The mother of CHARLES ALBERT, the
Countess MONTLEART, who has for some years resided
in Paris, has received letters from the unfortunate
Monarch stating that he had no intention of visiting
Paris, but intended proceeding without delay to
Pcrtugal.

AUSTRIA.

Vienna letters of the 28th state that the Russians
had entered Transylvania in great force, and bad
driven BEM into Wallachia, having taken five of his
superior officers, whom they had subsequently caused
to be hanged. We trust that this last account is not
true. The Magyars have taken many Austrian offi-
cers of superior rank, on whom th-y could make re-
prisals ; but as the intelligence comes from Vienna
the probability is that the whole account
is merely one of those useful falsehoods
for the fabrication of which the Austrian Chancery
has ever since the advent of METTERNICU employed
a regular staff of forgers.
It is said that Russia has marched 60,000 troops
into Transylvania. The account of the successes of
GEORGY are confirmed. He has broken the Austrian
line, and threatens Buda, Pesth, Losenez, Belassa,
and the Austrian forces besieging Comorn. The relief
of Coinorn is probably the object he has in view.

PRUSSIA.
The Frankfort deputation arrived at Berlin at 5
P.m. on the 2,1 inst. They were received at the
station by the deputations from the tw,) Chambers
of the Town Council, and were conducted in proces-
sion to the Hotel prepared for their reception on the
Linden.

RUSSIA.
The following is the text of the circular of the
Russian Government to its foreign agents, on the
entrance of its troops into Transylvania :
" The news of the entrance of our troops into Tran-
sylvania being likely to give rise to false intepretations,
we send you some explanations on the matter. It is
notorious that great cruelties were committed in Transyl-
vania by the Hungarian insurgents, who, headed by the
Polish refugee Beni, have been recently repulsed by the
Austrian army. The terror which, in consequence of
such revolting excesses, was occasioned in the ens irons
of Hermannstadt and Cronstadt, and the temporary ab-
sence of military forces, which rendered the Austrian
generals unable to detail from pillage those towns
(placed as it were before the eyes of our
advanced posts), caused the inhabitants to in-
voke through the authorities the assistance of
the general in chief of our troops. The
Austrian Generals on their part had, for the same
reasons, expressed a desire to ascertain to what extent
they could calculate it' necessary on support from
us. General Luders, who relate d the matter to the
Emperor, received, I y order of Lis Majesty, the
reply, that in case the towns of Ilermanestadt and
Cronstadt should he seriously threatened by an invasion
of the Hungarian insurgents, at a time at which the
Austrian Government should not possess the means of
protecting them against such great disorder, he was
authorised to send a sufficient force into these two
towns ; that, however, he ought to do that in the
event of inevitable necessity, and only on the
express demand of the Austrian military autho-
rities. When, after, the granting of this cuthoriza-
tion, the danger of the towns became more imminent, in
consequence of an advantage obtained by the insurgents
at Mt diafels, and when tEe inhabitants had renewed
their earnest prayers to our General, with an inviiation
in due furai from the Austiien Generals Puchner and
Schurter, General Luders did not think right to leave
long unaccomplished wishes so expressed. Lie
consequently caused the two towns to be
occupied by detachments of troops, the effective of which
had been previously indicated by the Austrian Generals.
The inhabitants, especially the Germans, who justly
feared the barbarous cruelty of the Sz,klers, saluted the
arrival of these troops with the liveliest marks of joy.
Our soldiers ss ere received with open arms, the population
went out to meet them, and gave them bread and salt;
and a number of German and Wallachian families, who
had been preparing to cross the frontier, abandoned their
intention as soon as they saw that their lives and pro-
perties were assured. Such are the facts in all their
simple truth; they prove that the Emperor, in autho-
rising the entrance of some troops into Transylvania,
was only influenced by motives of humanity, and that
the matter was exclusively local, without any sort of
connexion with armed intervention in the interior affairs
of the empire of Austria. This empire has gloriously
and recently proved by the energy with which it
has crushed four successive insurrections, that it is
too powerful to require our material assistance in
Transylvania. Austria is already victorious in
Hungary, and the insurrectional domination will soon
be at an end. Even if Bern, owing to the insufficiency
of the Austrian forces, had succeeded in taking
Hermannstadt and Cronstadt, that would not hare
saved the insurrection from the complete defeat which
awaits it. But, however brief such an occupation might
have been, it would have sufficed to give up those two
flourishing towns to pillage and murder, and it was this
misfortune that, in accordance with the Austrian autho-
rities, we were desirous to prevent. Such was
the object of the entrance of our troops; it must con-
sequently be well understood that their presence will be only temporary. Already indeed have our generals
received orders to reeross the frontier as soon as the
dangers which threatened the country shall have ceased
to exist."
