It will be seen from the above that Paris has re-
turned ten Socialists and Red Republicans, eight
moderate Republicans of the Cavaignac school, three
Imperialists, and seven supporters of the Ministry.
Of the Ministers themselves, although all were in-
eluded in the list of candidates, two alone have been
successful, M. M. PASSY and ODILON BARROT, M.
PASSY being tenth upon the list, and below LEDRU
ROLLIN, BEDEAII, LAMORICIERE, DUFAURE, and VIC-
TOR II UGO, while M. ODILON BannoT stands only fif-
teenth and below FELIX PYAT, LAMENNAIS, and Burro.
Sergeant BOICIIOT, who was placed under arrest by
General CHANGARNIEn, and imprisoned at Vincen-
nes, because he accepted the invitation to become a
candidate, has been returned. He stands fourth on
the list.
A great number of the most influential Members
of the present Assembly are still without seats,
having failed in their elections. Among others are
MM. de Lamartine, Billault, Dupin, Duvergier
d'Hauranne, Gamier Pages, L'lnjuninais, Dueos,
Jules Fevre, Duclerc, A Marrast, &c. M. Achile
Pould has failed both in Paris and the Upper
Pyrennees.
The Reactionaries have been beaten completely in
the Loire et Cher, the Nievre, the Cher, the Soane et
Loire, the Ain, the Jura, the Upper Soane, the
Drome, the Rhone, the Upper Vienne, the Allier, the
Correze, and the Dordogne.
It is also stated that there is every prospect of their
being defeated in the Haut and Bas Rhin. At Tarn
Marshal Soura's list, which consisted exclusively of
Legitimists, has been rejected. It is calculated that
there will be about two hundred Red Republicans in
the new Assembly.
The Patric of asst night says that the Government
has received telegraphic dispatches from fifty-two
departments, according to which it appears that, out
of 454 returns, 298 belong to the moderate party,
85 to the Socialists, while of 71 the opinions are
unknown.
The Gazette de France says—
" We learn this instant that a grave insurrection has
broken out at Chalons-Sur-Saone. The insurgents are
said to be masters of the town, and to have hoisted the
red flag. A division of the army of the Alps is said to
be marching in haste upon the town."
The. Bourgogne, a Macon journal, gives the follow-
ing further details of the affair at Chalons, under
date of the 14th :
" The day before yesterday, two hussarcls having been
guilty of a riot in their barracks, breaking their beds,
&c.,_ were placed in confinement. ihis act of severity was
made use of to excite the people by announcing that they
had been punished for having read the Pair iote, and given
their votes to the violent party. A mob collected to
set them at liberty. The General was insulted, and was
compelled to draw his sword. Two charges were made
by the cavalry, but the prisoners were at length released,
and cat Tied through the place in triumph, with a red
flag at the head of the procession. A sergent de vine,
who attempted to seise on the flag, was severely handled,
and the fig having been torn to pieces in the struggle,
a collEcticu was made to purchase another, which was
hoisted on the tree of liberty. Yesterday morning an
enormous band of rioters marched about the town with
red flags, and wearing cockades of the same colon:.' and
carrying a bust of Ledru Ruffin, decorated with red
ribbons. According to the accounts received this morn-
ing tranquillity has probably been restored, but a part
of the troops composing our garrison has been neverthe-
less embarked to proceed to Chalons, for the security of
the place from further agitation."
The Government bas received a telegraphic die-

patch from General OUDINOT, dated Castel Guido,
,

;eniburg, accompanied by a liornau superior officer,
lad just brought to head- quarto.s overtures for peace.
We nad in the Semaphore of Marseilles of the 15th

nstiant

" Tim trading packet the Sully entered V;is port
yesterday, having left Civita Vecchia on the 11th, lg-
horn on the evening of the 12th, and Genoa on the
morning of the 13th. The expeditionary corps, com-
manded by General Oudinot, still occupied the same
positions ; but it was salt: that it would soon march on
Rome. At Leghorn, the Austrians had been v.Lry strict
in their repression. We are told thst after the capitula-
tion, the insurgents who wero intrenchcd in the cathedral
find on the Austrian soldiers who were taking their
repast in the principal square. The latter immediately
discharged grape shot into the church, and we are
assured, that such of the insurgents as escaped were
afterwards shot. According to some passengers. by the
Sully, numerous executions had taken place ; the
Austrians having shot, without form of trial, any person
they met bearing arms or wearing the uniform of the
National Guard."

The National says :—" On Wedm,sday, at half-
past five in the evening, General RAOUL, commanding
the artillery of the first military division, went to
Vincennes. He was quite unexpected, but half an
hour after the object of his visit was known. An
orderly officer arrived from Paris with a dispatch from
him, and immediately the Colonel of the 6th
Regiment was told that his regiment must immedi-
ately prepare to start for La Fare. It is usual in
such cases to give regiments some days to make their
preparations ; but it appears that the presence of the
6th was very dangerous for the Ministry of M. 130-
NAPARTE, for this regiment commenced its march at
daybreak 3 esterday. The precipitation with which
they were ordered off by M. RULLIERE was such
that the troops went away without bread. We
are curious to ascertain the cause of the striking dis-
grace inflicted on this regiment. But what will re-
main without being explained is, that its Colonel has
been still more ill-treated. lie received on Wednes-
day evening, at half-past ten, the order to proceed
without delay in the direction of Saint Omer, and to
give up the command immediately to the Lieutenant •
Colonel."

The National and Siecle state that Father VEN-

TUBA, who had bad an interview with General OUDI-
NOT at the camp of Palo, bad just arrived in Paris.
A perfect panic prevailed at the Bourse to-day, and
a considerable fall took place in the price of Government
securities. The Five per Cents. opened at 87f., rose to
87f. 40c., fell to 85f. 80c., :mei closed at 86f. 80c., being
a fall of three per cent. since yesterday in the passage of
the Opera.

SPAIN.

The Altdrid journals of the 13th have arrived.

The debate on the reduction in the budget, pro•
posed by Senor BERUDEZ DE CASTRO, was brought
to a close on the 12th, and his proposition was re-
jected by 144 to 26. n the course of the debate,
Senor MoN, the Finance Minister, made the following
observations on the subject of the Foreign Debt.
With respect to the censure bestowed by Senor PoLo
on the Government, for the answer given to the
foreign creditors, which had produced a rise in the
Spanish funds abroad, Senor MoN said "the Govern-
ment merely replied by manifesting the desire which
it has to pay that, as well as other debts : I declare,
therefore, that no reply of the Government ought to
have produced either a rise or fall in foreign coun-
triec, it having only answered that our desires to
poy everything were so great as the impossibility of
doing so."
On the subject of the public debt, Senor MoN made
the following observations in opposing the proposed
reduction in the property-tax :
" Besides, gentlemen, the Government cannot forget
that we have a debt of 14,000 millions (140 millions
sterling), and that debt proceeds from the constant dif-
ference which there has always been in Spain between
the estimates of expenditure and of revenue. To the
Juros, and other debts, which compose the old standing
accumulation of 7,C00 millions, and which debt we in-
herited, there has heeu aggregated as much more up to
this time, in consequence of loans contracted in 1823, in.
1834, and at other epochs, and of the extraordinary ex-
penses and losses occasioned by the wars; in fine, a debt
has been created which compels us to expenses and
sacrifices which it is not possible for any good adminis-
tration to think of avoiding. Taking into account the
well-understood interests of tEe country, it should pro-
ceed, in consequence thereof, without being deterred by
ephemeral unpopularity, and hoping for justice from its
contemporaries, or at least from history."
The Bolsa was closed on the 13th.

GERMANY

AND

THE NORTHERN STATES

PRUSSIA.

The Berlin State Gazette of the 16th, contains the
following proclamation of the King of Raussil i--
" To my People,—Under the pretext of the German
cause the enemies of the country have raised the standard
of rebellion in the neighbouring kingdom of Saxony and
in several parts of southern Germany. To my great
sorrow, a few blinded individuals have even in our terri-
tory allowed themselves to be seduced to follow that
standard and to overthow Divine and human order in
open rebellion against the legal authorities. In so serious
and dangerous a moment I feel the necessity of speaking
a few sincere words to my people. I have not been able
to consent to the offer of a crown on the part of the Ger-
man National Assembly, because the Assemby had not
the right to give away the crown it offered me without
the approval of the German governments, and because it
was offered me under the condition of accepting a Con-
stitution which was irreconcileable with the rights and
the security of the German States. In vain I have tried
and employed every means to come to an understanding
with the German :National Assembly. I strove in vain
to bring it back to the limits of its mandate and of right,
which did not consist in the absolute and irrevocable es-
tablishment, but in the conciliation of a German Consti-
tution; and even after all my efforts had proved vain, I
did not break with the Assembly in the hopes of a final
pacific solution. But after the Assembly had entirely
abandoned the ground of right, law, and duty by
votes, against which honourable men had struggled
in vain, alter it had accmed us of having broken
peace, because we had given our neighbour in
trouble victorious assistance, alter it had appealed to
open resistance against me and the governments, who,
like me, had refused to accept the disastrous conditions
of the Constitution, it is the Assembly that has broken
with Prussia. Its majority is nu longer composed of
those men to whom Germany has looked up with pride
and confidence. A large number seceded freely when
the path of ruin was begun, and I have recalled, by my
yesterday's ordennance, all the Prussian deputies who
still belonged to it. The same will be done by other Go-
vernments. In the Assembly a party now reigns which
is in coalition with those men of terror, who assume the
unity of Germany for a pretext, but, in reality, excite
the struggle of impiety, perjury, and rapine against
thrones, in order to overthrow with them the protec-
tion of right, freedom, and prop( rty. The atrocities
which have been committed at Dresden, Breslau, and
Elberfeld, under the hypocritical cry of German unity,
give melancholy proofs of it ; other atrocities have
been committed, and are still being prepared. These
enormities have caused the hope of cffeeting the unity
of Germany by the National Assembly of Frankfort to be
lost; but I have not yet despaired of it, as I declare
sincerely and accordirg to my royal conviction. My
Government has taken up, in conjunction with the
plenipotentiaries of the great German states who have
joined me, the task commenced at Frankfort, of forming
a German Constitution. This Constitution will shortly
give to the nation what it has the right to expect and
enact—its unity manifested by an executive unitary go
vernment, representing worthily and powerfully abroad
the name and interests of Germany ; and its liberty
gulranteed by a national representation with legislative
power. The constitution drawn up by the National
Assembly has served as the basis of this, and only the
clauses which, arising from the struggles and conces-
sions of parties were injurious to the welfare of the
country, will be modified. This constitution will
be submitted to the approval of all the States
which shall join the Federation. Let Germany
have confidence in the patriotism and probity of the Prus-
sian Government—its confidence will notbe disappointed.
Such is my policy. Madness or falsehood alone can, in
presence of such facts, have affirmed that I have re-
nounced the cause of German unity, and that I had be-
come faithless to nay former convictions and promises.
Prussia is called upon in these difficult times to protect
Germany against her internal and external enemies. She
is bound to perform this duty, and she will perform it.
I therefore now call my people to arms. We must re-es•
tablish order and law in our own country, and in the other
countries of Germany who have need of our support.
The object to be attained is the foundation of German
unity, and to protect its liberty against the terrorism
of a party who would sacrifice to its passions mora-
lity, honour, and good faith—of a party who have
succeeded in tteceiving and misleading a portion of the
people. The danger is great, but deception will not
sand against the good sense of my people. Old Prussian
fidelity, the ancient glory of the Prussian arms, will re-
spond to the appeal of the King. It my people are with
me as lam with them, with sincerity and confdence,
the benediction of God and a magnificent victory wilt
not fail us.

A Berlin letter of the 13th says :—" It appears
certain that a Constitution of the Empire, to be
granted by Prussia, and other royal Governments, is
already printed, and will be sent to all the Govern-
ments. The preamble is in the following terms :
"lo put an end to anarchical and democratic tenden-
cies, &c.' "
The Cologne Gazette of the 17th contains A letter,

dated Hagen, the 13';), from whirhit.appears that the

peoplc! of TserlOn kore pillaied the tizsf.ual of the
Landwehr, and carried oft the arms. BLrricadeslia‘%:.
ben erected in tl:e ttreets, and all the male population
is under arms, At IL:g,,en and the other environs,
everythirg convertible into weapons was seiz,A, and
the inhabitants rushed to the v.stance of Tseriohn.
A deputation wcs sent to the latter city by the com-
mandant of Monster, commanding it to capitulate :
one of the coodi!ions was the restoration, within 48
hours, of all the arms carried off from the arsemi,
under the threat that Tserlohn would olherv..l:=e be
most rigorously dealt with, and the city declared in a
state of siege.

A popular assembly was immediately held at
Tserlohn, by about 1,000 armed men from 1-1::gon,
Minden, and the other environs. The propcsiti.ns
were rejected, and a declaration made that no arms
should be returned until the KING had dismissed his
present Ministry, and recognised the constitution cf
the empire. _ _

All the defiles were occupied by the Rifle Brigade,
and the country peop!e have risen.

BADEN.

A Provisional Government has been formed at
Carlsruhe, under the name of "Commission cf the
Country," consisting of Messrs. BRENTANO, HEIN-
RICH, liArF, RICHTER, A. GOEGG, WERNER, and
REHMANN. This Commission published the follow-
ing proclamation on the 14th :
" Fellow -citizenst—Thir te( n months of a painful com-
bat, thirteen months of difficult sacrifices have been p:.ssed
through. During that time we have only been sustained
by the hope that our floe country would recover liberty,
and a fraternal bond would unite all Germans. But,
no sooner had the constitution been definitively voted,
than the conspiracy of the Kings broke out, as also their
perfidious alliance with the Czar of Russia, to enslave
the German people, who proved their generosity in the
month of March last year. In a word, the counter-
revolution displays itself boldly and unmasked. Fellow-
citizens! in such a struggle the brave army, our
brethren and yours, could not hesitate to see that their
duty called them to the side of the people. They have
felt that, as children of the country, they ought to com-
bat for the liberty of the people, for the unity of Ger-
many, and the grandeur of the nation. Accordingly,
the army has joined you. It does not combat against
the people, but against the enemies of the liberty of the
country. This union of the army with the people was
not a sufficient motive to induce the GRAND DUKE to
take to flight; but Ministers guilty of treason gave him
the advice to do so; and they have abandoned the Go-
vernment, and given' up the affairs of the country to
chance. Fellow-citizens, in recalling to mind the en-
gagement which we took before the great assembly of
the Feople at Offenburg, and obeying the wishes of the
communal authorities, we have this afternoon entered

the town, at the head of our brave soldiers. We will
employ all our efforts to protect persons and pro-
perty, by establishing a popular form of Go•
vernment. We will do all that may depend
on us to carryon the Government. We will remain in the
place which has been assigned to us by our duty and by
the wish of the people, until the people shall have deter-
mined on the form of Government. Fellow-chimps, our
task is difficult, but we feel that we have the energy ne-
cessary to fulfil it. Second our efforts, and we co not
doubt that liberty will end by triumphing.

Tne Ulowing communication to the communal au•
thorities has also been published :
" Carlsruhe, 14th May.

"In consequence of the late events soldi,rs from
the army of Baden have left their quarters. They are
called upon to return quickly, that they may serve the
cause of liberty. All the communes of the country are
invited to employ all the means io their paver to induce
the soldiers to return to their quarters.—By order of the
Executive Committee,

The following has also been published by the Pro.
visional Government of Carlsruhe:—

" Appeal to the Officers.—The Officers who in conse-
quence of the late events are no longer under their co
lours, are desired to place themselves at the disposal of
the Minister of War, it the liberty of the people and the
good of the great country of Germany are dear to them,
and they feel it to be their duty to defend them. In the
name of the Executive Committee,

EICHFELD."

A letter from Mannheim, of the 14th, states that
no sooner did the intelligence of the events at Canis-
ruhe reach that town than the soldiers refused to
obey their officers, joined the people, and promenaded
the town with them arm in arm, singing revolution-
ary songs, and crying, " Long live HEclcElt, the
Republican chief!"
At Fribourg, in the Grand Duchy of Baden, on the
14th, the soldiers drove away their officers and were
about to proceed to elect others. A Wurtemberger
General, stationed near the town, sent to say that if
they should not make an unconditional submission
before twelve o'clock next day, he would attack the
town. The Committee of Public Safety had de-
' dared itself in permanence. The Governor Mili-
tary Commandant, and several families of the town,
I had taken flight_ The rebels were 3,500 strong with
eight cannon. _ . .

—The Government of Hesse Darmstadt sent a bat.
talion of infantry to Germersheim to protect the
Grand Duke of BADEN, but it was met at Frei-
derschsfeld by a number of armed men, who com-
pelled it to quit the territory of Baden.
