A long discussion followed, and on a division the
resolution of the Committee was carried by a majority
of 87; the numLers being, for it, 328; against it,
241.

This result, which must be considered as implying
censure on the Ministry, was received with loud
cheers and clapping of hands on the Left, and with
cries of " Vive la Republique."
The Chamber adjourned at a quarter past one o'clock.
A report was current that General OUDINOT was
about to be replaced by General BSDEAU, such a de-
cision having been come to at a Council of Ministers.
The following appears in the National :
" THE ENVOY OF ROME, IN THE NAME of THE ROMAN
FEUPLE, TO HIS BROTHERS OF FRANCE.
" A sanguinary combat has taken place between the
inhabitants of Rome and the children of France, whom
rigorous orders urged against our homes. The senti-
ment of military honour commanded them to obey their
chiefs; the sentiment of patriotism ordered us to defend
our liberties and our country. Honour is saved, but at
what a price! May the terrible responsibility be averted
from us, wbo are united by the bonds of charity. May
even the culpable be pardoned—they are sufficiently
punished by remorse.
"Health and fraternity.

In consequence of the news from Italy, orders were

THE REVOLUTION IN SAXONY.
The people in Dresden have been completely vic-
torious, and have appointed a Provisional Govern-
ment. The city of Leipsic has also joined the
movement. The civic authorities of the latter city
have placed themsel%es under the protection of the
Central Government at Frankfort, and have dis-
patched assistance to the Provisional Government at
Dresden.

announces, on the part of the Provisional Government,
A proclamation, published by the Dresden Gazette,
the fraternisation of some of the troops with the
the latest accounts was st
people, and the surrender of the arsenal, which up to
ill occupied in common by
the artillery and the insurgent civic guard. ln the Neustadt (the part of Dresden occupied by
the troops) a royal proclamation appeared on the sth
instant, announcing that the KING, in consequence of
the excesses committed on the 3d and 4th instant,
and the dereliction of duty on the part of the civic
guard, had been obliged to leave the capital for the
fortress of Konigstein, in the so-called Saxon Swit-
zerland. His MAJESTY adds, that in refusing to
acknowledge the Constitution for Germany, he is
acting fur the good of fatherland ; expresses the hope
that he may be soon able to return to the metro-
polig, and declares that during his absence mea-
sures have been taken for carrying on the busi-
ness of Government. The
, proclamation is signed
" FREDERICK AUGUSTUS and " Dr. FERDINAND
ZSCUINSKY." To this proclamation was ap-
pended another, signed by two Ministers, and
announcing that they had neither abandoned the KING
nor the Government of the country; that they re-
turned
to their posts immediately after they found
his MAJESTY safe ; and that they protest against the
appointment of a Provisional Government.
Previously to the commencement of the insurrec-
tion in Dresden, the Ministry issued a species of
manifesto, setting forth that the assent of the
Government of Saxony to the decisions of the
Frankfort National Assembly was necessary
for rendering them binding in that Kingdom ; that
Ministers had endavoured to bring about a con-
cordance between that assembly and the respective
Governments that it could not be ex-
pected tht
Saxony Germany; renounce its independence
ashould
whilst other states of Germany, particularly Prussia,
" without which a German empire cannot be ever
thought of," refuses to acknowledge the Constitution
voted by the National Assembly. So soon as Prus-
sia, however, should recognize that Constitution,

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.
We announced exclusively in the fourth edition of
The Sun of last evening, that Hungary had declared
her independence, and had chosen KOSSUTH as Pre-
sident of the Executive.

We now publish in extenso—
THE HUNGARIAN DECLARATION OF INDE

PENDENCE.

The 14th of April, 1849, is an eternal era in the his-
mry of Hungary.
The representatives of the nation assembled on this
day at Debreczin, in their accustomed house of meeting,
to resclve one of the leading questions of their great
mission, and to decide the lot of Hungary, in relation to
the ruling dynasty of Hapsburg-Lorraine. In order,
however, that the resolutions to be taken might be at-
tended with the publicity and solemnity befitting so
great an occasion, the sitting was held in the great
Reformed Church, in presence of thousands of the people.
Ludwig Kossuth, President of the Committee of
National Defence, reported upon the battles won, and the
victorious career of oar brave army. Then he declared
that now the time was come for Hungary to strip off the
shackles which she had worn for three hundred years,
an 1 to take the rank which she deserved among Euro-
pean states. Now, once for all, must she renounce all
submission to the sceptre of a dynasty which had repaid
her services with ingratitude and her allegiance with
treachery. This decree of the National Assembly was
longed for by the nation, who had borne with loyal and
patriotic readiness the burdens of their struggle for
liberty ; it was demanded by the army, which had
poured forth its blood so liberally to save the country;
it was necessitated by circumstances, in order that Hun-
gary might be properly represented at the European
Congress which was contemplated, in order to settle the
new face of things in some more possible shape than the
entirely broken up old one was. In one word, the
country, the world, God, all required from the House of
Representatives this final resolution.
The President of the Government then proposed
the following 'notions :-
1. Hungary, together with Transylvania, and all
parts, lands, and provinces appertaining to the Hunga-
rian kingdom, is publicly proclaimed as a free and in-
dependent European State. The unity of its surfaco is
declared indivisible, and its integrity inviolable.
"2. The House of Hapeburg-Lorraine, through its
treachery, perjury, and employment of armed force
against the Ilung,arian nation, no less than through the
boldness with which it has dismembered the territorial
integrity of the land, by severing from Hungary, Croatia
and Transylvania, shi inked not from the slaughter of
the people with armed forces, has, with its own hands,
torn up the pragmatic sanction, and sundered that bond,
which, upon the base of a mutual connexion, subsisted
between the said house and Hungary with its annexed
lands. This perjured house of Hapsburg-Lorraine is
for ever excluded from the soveignty of Hungary, Tran-
sylvania, and the parts, provinces, and lands appertain-
ing to the Hungarian kingdom, in the name of the na-
tion, deposed, and banished from the enjoymtnt of the
ground and all civic rights.
"a. While Hungary, according to her indefeasible
natural rights, enters into the European family of states
as a semi-dependent, independent, and free "state, she
declares at the mule t4;lle 013 it if her firm renlY9 t 9

On the Left—Nor to destroy it.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs—The sending an
expedition to Civita Vecchia might show the possibility
of resistance, and the use of force. The principle of the
Government is to shield its agents with its responsi-
bility until completely in possession of facts. I repeat
that we have not as yet received any communication
beyond the telegraphic dispatch. It is certain that
General Oudinot had no intention to attack Rome.
He left Civita Vecchia with only 5,000 men, without
artillery, and without the necessary means to take a
city by force. He had no intention of the kind.
On his lancing at Civita Vecchia he had been
received with cries of "Long live the French
nation," " Long live General Oudinot," and a depu-
tation was sent to him from a neighbouring town to re-
quest him to send a detachment of French soldiers to
prevent the excesses of the foreign volunteers which
sought to enter the place. I repeat, we cannot possibly
judge of th• conduct of the general by the shreds of in-
formation which have reached us, and particularly by
the letter which M. Flocon has read. The postscript
of that letter is rather curious. If General Oudinot has
met with more or less resistance, is that a reason to
suppose that 11. has not been called for by the wishes of
thepeople? The conclusion of the committe eis tanta-
mount to demanding that our army should retire to Ci •
vita Vecchia, and that it should give place to the Nea-
politans and the Austrians, and that the Government
cannot order.
