E FRENCH REPUBLIC

, e have received the Paris papers of yesterday.
The Moniteur du Soir announces that the Counci
of State is engaged in devising a project for the settle
ment in Algeria of the convicted of 'Time, 1848, who
are at present imprisoned in Belle Isle.
The official lboniteur publishes an announcement of
the raising of the blockade of Venice by the
Austrians.
The improvement in the health of M. DE-FALLOUry
noticed on Tuesday was not permanent. He had a
relapse on Wednesday, and recourse was again had to
bleeding. The Patrie of last night says, " The state
of M DE Fau.oux continues to be of a rather grave
character; nevertheless we are assured that it is not
of such a nature as to occasion serious uneasiness."
The Committee of the National Assembly on the
Budget met yesterday. It is said that they expressed
an opinion that there was no necessity to have imme-
diate recourse to a loan.
According to the Evenement, the Greek Govern-
ment has applied to the Government of the French
Republic, requesting that no more passports for
Greece may be given to political refugees.
The negotiations at Rome still continue. The
Assemble Nationale boasts that the POPE will make
none but mere formal concessions, and of the nature
of those concessions we may judge from the following
letter addressed to the National, ley its Roman Cor-
respondent
The concessions said to have been accorded at
Gaeta, so far as the amnesty is concerned, amount to
this—that the Pope, on his return to Rome, early in No-
vember, will grant an amnesty, from the benefit of which
shall be excluded all the members of the Constituent
Assembly, the Triumvers, the Ministers of the Republic,
the leaders of the popular clubs, and the chiefs of the
National Guard ; so that the amnesty would, in reality,
embrace only those who have no need of it. As to the
secularization of the Government, it will only admit
laymen to offices that the clergy do not consider of much
importance. In the same partial manner the Napoleon
Code will only be applied in the reform of certain tri-
bunals, acd to matters which do not infringe on the

A number of Poles in Paris, desiring to quit
France and proceed to America, to establish Polish
colonies in that country, addressed a letter to the
Prefect of Police, to be permitted to meet in order
to discuss the means of carrying their plan into exe-
cution. The first meeting was held on Tuesday
afternoon, in the Rue des Poules. The Commissary
of Police of the quarter, attended by several agents,
assisted at the meeting, which terminated by the
nomination of a commission of six members, who are
to occupy themselves immediately with the prepara-
tions for their departure.
There were rumours rife in Paris yesterday of an
impending Ministerial crisis. It has been finally
resolved on that M. Da FALLOUE shall definitively
retire from the Ministry ; and it is said that another
of the Ministers, M. PASS; has also signified his
intention of resigning in consequence of the opposition
which his scheme for the imposition of an income-tax
has encountered; his colleagues have strongly urged
him to withdraw his unpopular proposition, after
the example set by Lord JOHN RUSSELL in 1848,
but M. PAM is of a firmness almost approaching to
obstinacy, and he refuses to hold office except on con-
dition that he shall be permitted to propose his in-
come-tax.

It has been determined to -re-enact :the tax on
potable liquors.
JACINTO MORENO, an aide-de-camp of General
ORME, has arrived in Paris. It is stated that he is
charged with an extraordinary mission relative to the
affairs of La Plata.

The Princess DE LIGNE has arrived in Paris.
Signor DELLA Roca, ex-Minister of War in Pied-
mont, has also arrived in the same city.
The Algiers journals of the 15th announce the

meat :

" 1. There shall be established between the German
Governments, i❑ accordance with the administrators of
the empire, a new ad interim Central Government, which
shall be exercised by Austria and Prussia to the Ist
May, 1850. 2. The object of this is to maintain the
German Confederation as the indissoluble union of all the
German States. 3. During the interim the affair of the
Constitution of Germany is left to the free arrangement of
the States. 4. If at the expiration of the interim nothing
be dine, an understanding shall be come to with respect
to the continuation of the new Central Govern.
went. 5. A Commission of the Empire, composed of
four members, two of whom shall be nominated by
Austria, tw.) by Prussia, shall direct, under the presi-
dency of Austria (which presidency, however, shall be
only an affair of etiquette), the affairs which were attri-
buted to the Special Council of the old Diet; the other
governments of the Confederation shall send plenipoten-
tiaries to the Commission. 6. The Commission of the
Empire shall only be responsible to those by whom it is
nominated. 7. As soon as the Governments shall have
given their assent to the preceding propositions, the
Administration of the Empire shall deposit its dignity
and powers in the hands of the Emperor of Austria and
the King of Prussia."
The Kings of WunTEMITIRQ and BAYARIA have
consented to this.

The Berliner Nachrichten states :—" It has been
confirmed that a new Russian tote has been received,
in which it is proposed that the affairs of Germany
should be regulated by a Royal Congress, composed
of those Sovereigns who signed the Alliance of 1815.
'We have, however, learnt that the Ministry is re-
solved to maintain the policy hitherto preserved, and
not to place the decision of a point of domestic
German character in the hands of foreign Powers."

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, SEPT. 16.--COunt RADBTZZT paid a visit

also to Baron Ilisz and General VON BENEDIC&.
He will attend the theatre this evening, and by his

veteran Marshal has fixed upon Presburg as his future
home, that being the residence of his daughter, the
Countess VON WENKHEIM; according to others, he
will resume his command in Italy.
The Wiener Zeitung announces the sentence of the
Supreme Military Court upon Generals Man. and

Both the generals are deprived of their military rank

The Emperor of AUSTRIA (who appears to resemble
in situation and character CHARLES IX. of France),
acting under the inspiration of his bigotted and vin-

THE INSURRECTION IN THE
lONIAN ISLANDS.
We have received the Extraordinary Gazette of
Corfu of tie 7th, and extract the following :
"Argostoli, Sept. 5.
"Ceehahniots,—ln my Message to the Senate recom-
mending ar amnesty for the events of September, 1848,
I expresses the feelirgs with which my first visit to your
island had :i:ispired me—my sense of the industry and en-
terprise displayed there, and my hopes that the new era,
upon whica we were entering, would be marked, on boil.
aides, by patience and peace. I visit you a second time
under very different circumstances. In the midst of
profound tranquillity, and at a moment when the
whole poptlation ought to have been employed in
securing that harvest, upon which its prosperity, and
even its ex'stence, during the coming winter, depends.
an outbreak has occurred in the districts of Leo, and
Scala, marked by crimes of so atrocious a nature.
that, if I could suppose them to indicate the spirit
of the peasantry in general, I must deem unworthy of
the name of Christians, or of men. Between the 28th
and the 31st cf August, the houses of seven resident
proprietors were destroyed—murders of the moat dia-
bolical character were committed. The Cavaliere
Metaxa, a min universally respected, was burnt, with
four servants, in his own house, while the whole popula-
tion of Scala looked on. Citizens well known to all of
you Were seised and imprisoned, in order to enforce
compliance with the most iniquitous demands; and,
although the actual outrages were confined to the dis-
tricts of Leo, Scala, and Valtes, attempts were deli.
berately made to extend the system of teterrorismthrough-
out the island, there being hardly a family residing upon
its estates that was not warned that its turn was coming,
while the wildest reports were circulatedof intended
attacks upon Argostoli itself. The first information of
these excesses reached Corfu on Thursday, the 30th of
August, at 8 A.m. At 11 A.M. I wrote to his Highness
the President, and proclaimed martial law in the dis
turbvd districts. At 3 1. H. the lonia sailed with the
troops on board who were to carry this proclamation
into t fleet. They reached Argostoli early on Friday,
the 31st, proceeded to Scala at 11 A M., landed at
3 P.m, and, though resisted by the ruffians—
e ho, after disturbing tams ues,i,..;eg their own
—,....e,, Dad the audacity to fire upon her
Majesty's troops—they were in possession of the vil-
lage by seven post meridian, and will now proceed to
inflict upon it the chastisement, which it has so justly
des, rved. Anxious to see the measures resolved upon
by the Government promptly and t ffectually carried out,
I left Corfu on the night of the Ist of September, and
landed in Argostoli on the ed; at nine A.m. I found
you in a state of unprecedental excitement and alarm. ,
The rebels were said to be adv.tncing in large numbers '
upon the districts of Icossimia, Livato, and Ornate,
while a combined movement of the disaffected upon the
town was talked of, in which the mountain villages
were to take part. The ships in the harbour were
crowded with the families of your citizens. All busi-
ness was suspended, and the Custom House closed. My
first care was to ascertain to what extent these appro.
hensione were well founded, and I give you here the re-
sults obtained by inquiries, which, in so grave a case, I
have felt it to be my duty to make personally, as well
as by the concurrent testimony of the military detach-
ments, the primates. and the pollee. I believe that in
Scala the number of robbers and murderers—for I will
not honour them with the name of insurgents—in arms
amounted, at one time, to between two and three hun-
dred. They were beaded from the first by Theodore
Vacco, and the Papa Gregorio Nodaro, justly surnamed
' the Assassin,' who has been unceasing in his efforts to
poison the minds of the peasantry, and to involve them
in a struggle which would have made Cephalonia a de-
sert, had it been possible for it to be attended with sue-
There is ample evidence to prove that secret socie-
ses were connected with this movement—that it has been
many months in preparation, and is countenanced be
persons still resident amongst you, who fancied that they
could guide the passions which they stimulated and let
loose. It was probably in the hope of giving a political
colouring to crime that the rebels, on their marches
during the short period of their impunity, were received
by a flag and a cross—never so horribly desecrated
before. After the occupation of Scala by Major King,
Vlacco and the Priest Nodaro fell back upon Icossimia
and Livato, where they endeavoured to induce those vil-
lages to join them by entreaties and threats. The first
were resisted ; the second they had, happily, not the
rower to enforce, the number of their follow era having
been reduced from 300 to 42, with whom Vlacco arrived
at Pirgi on Sunday morning, Sept. 2. On Sunday even-
ing, it was reported in Argostoli that the insurgents were
crossing the mountains with large messes of men,
and had reached San Liberals, on their way to San
Gerasimo. A strong detachment marched to occupy
the convent of San Gerasimo that night, and was pre-
ceded by Captain Middleton, one of my aides-de-camp,
and Mr. Fyers, the head of the police, who ascertained
at Valsamata that Vlacco, Nodaro, and forty-five men,
had arrived in their neighb)urhood on Sunday after
noon, and invited them to take part in an attack upon
Argostoli, but that the Contadini of Valsamata and
Frangata had refuse to _have anything to do with suchprojects, and had desired Vlacca to leave their district,
which he had promised to do the next day. In order
to satisfy himself that this information was correct,
Captain Middleton proceeded on foot to the spot where
the
party was said to be encamped, and having ascer-
tained that they were actually, at midnight, in the
place, and in about the number stated, Muriel to
meet the troops, who arrived at three A DI, on Mon-
day—just half an hour too late to capture the whole
band.
Having followed the troops to San Gerasimo

route taken by Vlacco in his flight from Valsamata,
I directed the village of Trojanata to he searched
by Captain Nugent, on his return to Argostoli. I
have to regret there the death of the Primate, who
was killed while executing my orders, by a ball fired,

with me near the entrance of the church. He died
most at my feet. al-

of her The two other men were killed,
drew their fate
upon themselves, by resisting the en-
trance Majesty's hoops into their houses, and
firing upon Captain Lawley, while forcing open a

gang of marauders is in the Black Mountain with its
interests
of chiefs, and it being most essential for the
of Cephalonia that an end should be put, as speedily
as possible, to a movement which is not more remark-
able for the smallness of its means than for the great,

vernment, a reward of 1,000 dollars for Theodore
Vlacco or Gregario Nodaro, if brought lb deed of elite;
and the gallant officer who commands her Majesty's
forces has directed a combined movement to be
made, for thn

Your. Excellent archbiVahop has not hesitated to excom-
municate a priest whose garments are steeped in the
tiood of the 'Vetere family, and, if taken alive, he
shall certainly expiate his crime upon the spot
where the bodies of four of his victims are now
buried, as two of his associates will do this day, the
clearest evidence of their guilt having been obtained.
His house has already been razed to the ground, in the
presence of the whole of the inhabitants of Seals, and
one of the men about to be hung is the Abate t ustachio
Zapandi, Nodaro's follower and pupil, who assisted him
in carrying
the cross, and in administering unlawful
oat.
hs- Tho peaceable and well-disposed inhabitants of
Cephalonia, whose lives and properties have escaped a
danger which no efforts of their own could have averted,
will see, by this plain reeital of facts, that the Govern-
ment has done its duty with an energy befitting the

•
DELIBERATE MURDER.
Last night, between the hours of eight and nine o'clock,
he inhabiquits of Princes-road, Lambeth, were thrown
into a state of the greatest excitement in consequence of
a report being forwarded to Lambeth Workhouse to the
effect that a man named Henry Weston, a waiter at the
United Service Club, Piccadilly, who resided in Wood-
street, Lambeth-walk, had deliberately murdered his
daughter, a fine child about eighteen months old.
It appears that the man Weston was a waiter at the
United Service Club, but for some reason he bad not
been engaged at that place for some time past. He re-
turned home in the afternoon and partook of tea, when
he seemed in his usual state of health and spirits, and
after he had sat for a short period, Mrs. Weston stated
that she should leave the child in bed and go intoLanabeth-
walk for a few articles that she required for house-
hold tne. She had placed the infant on the bed, and
having put on her shawl and bonnet she loft the house
for about a quarter of an hour, and when she returned
her hu4band was sty nding at the door. They both en-
tered the front parlour, when Mrs. Weston asked him
where the child was, when he coolly replied, gq have
murdered her, and you will find her in the :water-but." ,
He afterwards added, " You may give me in charge if
you like." An alarm was raised by Mrs. Weston, when
several of the neighbours came to her aid, and a light
having been procured they repaired to the garden at the
rear of the house, end upon looking in the water-but
the body of the poor child was found at the bot-
tom in its night clothes. The child was imme-
diately rescued and carried with all speed to Lambeth
workhouse, and in the meantime messengers were dis-
patched to procure the aid of Mr. John Jebfree, the sur-
geon, of Paradise.street, Lambeth-walk. That gentle- j
