last mediocre administration. Again the warlike
candidates for office have not only secured victory to
themselves in the Eternal City by the elevation of
;Count MAMIAMI to the department of the interior,
Ibut the portfolio of justice has been awarded to
PaseuaLs DE Rossi, that of finance to LUNATI, that
of war to Prince D'OZIA•PANFILI, that of commerce
to the Duke nn RIGLIANO, the command of the police
to Gunmen GA.LETTI, while the supreme dignity
of the Presidentship of the Council has been
conferred on the Count Mkstcsierei. We enumerate
these comparative statistics, so to speak, of the belli-
gerent opposition in the metropolis of the Papal
States and of Republican France, not because we
are impressed for a single instant with any idea of a
resemblance between the situation of Pio NONO, and
that of the pacific majority represented by L ANARTINE.
The citizens of Rome are burning to flesh their 1
swords upon the plains of Lombardy from the holy
devotion of patriotism, from the depth of their alle-
giance to their nationality, from their profound
solicitude to share in the glory and the danger of
beating down the German banners in every city
f southwards of the Carpathian mountains, and ef
1 erecting in their stead the tri-colour of Italian
unity, fraternity, liberty, and independence. With
the clubbists of Paris it is altogether different.
They have no nationality of their own to vindicate ;
they have no foreign foe to expel beyond the frontiers ;
they have no conquerors to punish, no despots to f
de-
grade, no land to purge of the presence of a
show host
for
mercenaries. All the plea which they can
the justification of their demands for battler terro ro is the po-
f
sition of affairs in Italy and the Apo o
tor
Poland, madmen that they are! As if France had
not within the past quarter revealed, by its sublime
maintenance of tranquillity, the omnipotence of
its moral influence on Christendom. As if
the months of March and April, together
with the close of February and the begin{
ning of May, had not been pregnant with emancipai
tion to Europe, precisely because France afforded the
nations of the continent the grandeur of its example,
without impelling them along the pathway of retro-
gression by a military irruption beyond her bounda-
ries. As if the explosion of democracy at Vienna,

policy wisdom
which
characterised the career of the Provisional Govern-
ment. Prussia arose and responded to the liberative
cries of the Parisians—then Austria, then Bavaria,
then Lombardy, then Venice, then Hanover, then all
the subordinate principalities of the Germanic Con-
federation. Denmark received spontaneous conces-
sions from her Sovereign. Naples compelled one of
the last of the Bourbons to yield to the requirements
of the populace. Sicily achieved her emancipation-
Spain and Portugal are beginning to display their
sympathy in the great movement of the surrounding
nations. And now—noto at the eleventh hour—
when the pacific policy of France is proving more
and more triumphant, the insensate clubbists of
Paris are striving to hurl the whole republican sys-
tem into ruin, by drawing the brand of a revolutionary
war, and marching their armies across the frontier!
With those among the population of Rome who
years to mingle in the ranks of the Piedmontese
we can sympathise to the very fullest extent—their
thirst for war is honourable—it is the result of a
national and patriotic instinct. And, while we as
fully comprehend and appreciate the conscientious
scruples of their glorious and immortal PONTIFF, we
are rejoiced to find that those scruples have not been
violated by any overt recalcitration on the part of his
Holiness ; but that he has repudiated bloodshed
in a manner such as admirably became him in his
Pontifical character, while, with the sagacity of a
statesman and the patriotism of an Italian Prince, he
has abstained from any further interference against
the participation of his subjects in the holy war of
independence. After the solemn and beautiful re-
monstrance of Pio Norio, published in a decree of
the 2d instant—wherein he exclaims reproachfully,
" Popule meus, quid feci tibi f What have I done to
you, omy people I"—it is a matter of inexpressible
gratification to find that the Romans and Pio Norio
have been so soon afterwards reconciled—that the ori-
ginator of the liberative movement in Italy is still at
the head of the march of emancipation—and that the
youth of the Papal States will speedily swell the
army which is pressing steadily forward against the
troops of RADETZKT.
Our sentiments towards the warlike party in
France are precisely the reverse. That party is
endeavouring to forward its ruthless and unprincipled
ambition under the humane pretext of carrying
assistance to the Poles and the Italians. They have
either forgotten or contemned that declaration of
M. DE LAMARTINE—" The Government will not
allow its policy to be altered by any foreign
nation, no matter what may be the sym-
pathy which we may experience for that
nation in our hearts." But no ; they have neither
contemned that declaration nor forgotten it—they are
endeavouring to cram it down the throats of the
Executive Committee with the pike of insurrection.
War they are resolved to have—if possible—at all
hazards; at the hazard of morality, of principle, of
Republican fame, of human life, of liberty, and of the
Revolution. Their thirst for war is insatiable—they
must have it or perish. Which will be effected—
war or the annihilation of the clubbists ? Let Paris
reply. We wait for that reply confidently, for we
know that the Parisians will not dishonour the re-
membrance of February.

ticn-laws, and this, which at all periods was a matter I
of policy, became a demand based on equity and

we abolished the differential and protective duties in
their favour, which alone reconciled them to—and
which were regarded as scarcely equivalent for—the
restrictions on their commerce in matters of na-

vigation.
The Right Hon. Gentlemen the President of the
Board of Trade last night communicated the inten-
tions of the Government with respect to the proposed
changesbt in a speech of considerable ability. He
detailed the changes that had taken place in
breiefiy code, from the period of the enacting of the first
navigation-law on the statute-book, in the reign of
King RICHARD the Second to the latest period,
through their different phases of monopoly and ex-
clusion, to that of mere protection by means of dif-
ferential duties, and again their return to the former
system of prohibition, which ultimately settled down
in the present provisions, contained in three statutes,
enacted during the present reign, the 8 and 9 Vic-
toria, c. 88; 8 and 9 Victoria, c. 89; and 7 and 8
Victoria, c. 112 ; the objects of which were to secure
for ourselves, first, the European carrying trade;
secondly, what is called " the long voyage . trade ;''
and thirdly, the entire colonial trade. There are in
addition other provisions, but which are not so im-
portant, and do not afford so much grounds for com-
plaint as the foregoing. It is intended to main-
tain the coasting trade and the fisheries
of this country, and also of our colo-
nies, unaltered, permitting, however, each colony to
legislate, to a certain extent, with respect to its
own coasting trade. With these exceptions the whole
navigation of the country, of every sort and descrip-
tion, is to be thrown open, reserving however to
the QUEEN in Council the power of putting such
restrictions "on the navigation of foreign countries as
she may think fit, if those countries do not meet us
on equal terms, not making it obligatory to do so,
but enabling her to act in the manner that may ap-
pear most advisable for the interests of the nation."
We shall on a future occasion examine fully the
details of the proposed measure, and the mode by
which it is intended to effect the contemplated ob-
jects, and ultimately to lead to the greatest freedom
of commerce. It is a step in the right direction, and
will, we doubt not, be received with approbation
throughout the entire country.

When the great principle of free trade was recog.
nised by the Legislature—when it was decided that
no tax or impost should for the future be levied for
the mere purpose of protecting any particular class
or interest, it became manifest that some great and
comprehensive changes were rendered necessary in
those portions of our commercial code by which our
shipping is regulated, and which have been popularly
known as " the navigation-laws." It was certain
that the present system could not be maintained in
its integrity ; but great caution was necessary
as to the nature and extent of the modifications
and alterations that might be brought forward,
The maintenance of our naval supremacy is dear to
the heart of every Englishman, and no British subject
would consent to any change by which the efficiency
of our " wooden walls," or of their gallant and hardy
crews, might be impaired or even endangered. The
magnitude of the interests involved demanded that
the most attentive consideration should be devoted to
the subject. That consideration has been bestowed;
two years have elapsed since Parliament decreed the
abolition of monopoly, and that trade and commerce
should be unrestricted and unfettered by any useless
and vexatious regulations. And still certain
provisions were enforced which had the ef-
fect of preventing the magnificent results of
the important and beneficial change from being fully
realised. Foreign nations viewed with jealousy our
continued,
although but partial, adhesion to the ob-
jectionable principle of
protection. They might well
doubt the sincerity of our professions when they found
that we still excluded the vessels of other lands from
any. portion of our traffic. Those who were injuriously
affected, or, what was almost as bad, who fancied
that they were injuriously affected thereby, still con-
tinued their own exclusive-system,
but a 'which

for our ewn impolitic enactments, a

subject; while the' Minister Plenipotentiary of the
United States, in a more enlightened spirit, declared
the desire of his country, our greatest rival in com-
mercial enterprise and naval power, to meet as fairly
in removing every existing restriction on interna-
tional commerce, and to establish universal reci-
procity in the widest sense—by which British ships
would be allowed to trade from any port in the world
to any port in the United States and be received,
protected, and in respect to charges and duties,
treated like American ships, ,if reciprocally American
ships might, in like manner, trade from any part of the
world to any port in her MAJESTT'S dominions. Such
a warning on the one side, and so fair and reasonable
an invitation on the other, could not be slighted or
despised. It is due to our colonies also, if we de-
sire to maintain the existing connexion between them
&nil the parent state, that we should remove the
grievances which they sustained under onr naviga-

At this moment a shot was heard from outside, and
the moment alter a crowd of the people, having made
good their attack on the Chamber, rupleed in immense
crowds, and at once went down to the end of the hall
in triumph; the shouts from the tribunes increased, and
the people above let themselves down (perhaps forty
feet) by the pillars, to join their comrades below.
Those who had entered carried flags, and one of them
having "Vive la Pologne" inscribed on it, became an
object of contention amongst some of the new comers,
and the descendants from the tribune. The object ap-
parently was to have the honour of carrying it as an
expression of their wishes to the President's chair. Men
were knocked down,. and the scene became so violent,
that the female part of the audience got at last truly
terrified, and made a precipitate retreat. A few, however,
still remained.
Barbie still remaining in the tribune, the crowd of
poeple, all in blouses, almost collected round the throne,
stretching out their hands to him with enthusiasm, and
looking up to him as if to their deliverer.
Not a word could be heard. The crowd became every
moment thicker. The seats behind the Deputies were
invaded from the doors behind, and some of the crowd
in the body of the House endeavouring to go up the
steps to join their comrades, and being prevented by
the Deputies, the latter were struck and borne down
by the rush.
At this moment the reporters' gallery, which previ-
ously
had been spared, was in its turn entered, and the
door at my right hand being opened, an immense flag
was pushed forward, and the crowd entered.
M. Raspail appeared in the tribune with a paper in his
hand, which he endeavoured to read to the Assembly.
The effort was vain—the voices continued to thunder
forth like the noise of a cataract. The ears were rent,.
but nothing could be heard.
Mary of the people ascended the tribune near him„
and there they stood for some minutes en sLectacle,,,
amidst cries of "Vive la Republique 1" " Viva la.
Pologne 1" Very few of the representatives stirred
from their places during this scene of unheard .of turbu-
lence, which far exceeded, for noise and tumult, the
memorable sitting of Feb. 24.
M. Louis Blanc then got up on the railing close to the,
President's chair, and, after many efforts, obtained a
hearing. Citizens, said he, I propose to you that this
petition of the people, in favour of Poland, be read iti
the Assembly.—(Tremendous shouts from the intruders.)
The people are calm in their force, and the petition ough.t
to be read and discussed at once, that it may not be sat ti
that the people have, by their entering here, sinne d
against their own sovereignty.—(Renewed cheers.)
During the pause which occurred whilst these few
words were uttered, we could hear the sound coming its,
strongly audible, of the people outside.
M. Raspail then read the petition, and at the conch 1-
sion of some of the passages tremendous acclatnatiotss

AUSTRIA.
The Allgemeine Zeitung publishes the following
under the head Verona, May 7 :
" A sanguinary conflict took place in our immediate
neighbourhood yesterday. The enemy, whose numbers
have been considerably increased by numerous free corps,
amounts to nearly three times as many as ours. The
an troops fought like lions, but unhappily to
Austrian
many brave men, among whom was the valiant General
Salis, who was shot through the breast, and Lielltenallt.
Colonel Lenzendorf.
" The 10th Jager battalion, consisting chiefly of Lower
Austrians, suffered the most material loss. Nearly four
times the number of the enemy were disabled. Th°
cannons roared incessantly for nearly seven hours, and
from eleven to two in the afternoon was so close that the
enemy's bslls fell at our gate. The town has been and
remains quiet.
"According to a letter from Verona, dated May 6, ten
o'clock at night, the right wing of the Austrians, cow-
manded by d'Aspre, and the left by Wrateslaw, were
on
the other side of the Etsch. The strength of the Pied-

in the interior, and still more so when the shot was fired,

loud, and universal, like the discharge of a cannon sh.:,t,
only lasting fGr a considerable time.
M. Bart is then mounted on the estrade near the
President's chair, and thus dominating the Assembly,
sueceeded in making himself heard. He said that be
should propose that the National Assembly declare that
the people of Paris had merited well of the coun-
try.—(Tremendous applause from the people.)
M. Blanqui addressed the Assembly in favour 'of
Poland.—(The whole tribune was filled at the same time
with people, whilst others stood in a mass at the loot) of
the tribune, or occupied the seats of the messengers or
ushers down the centre.)—After speaking of the
necessity of having a strong will and a u:ui
versa! determination manifested in France h
favour of Poland (which sentiment was • o
course tremendously applauded), he proceeded , t
speak of the massacres of Rouen, and demanded tie
the prisons of that city should be opened, and the peep)
confined there for the late disturbances set at lines t;
—(Renewed applause.)
M. Clement Thomas, one of the representative.
and colonel of the 2d Legion, here rose in hi
place, sad said—l demand permission to spew
This caused every eye to be turned towards him ; bu
M. Blanqui continued—We want that the Nations
Assembly should at once pay attention to the wants
the peoplo.—(Loud cheers.) The people had been tot
much neglected by the Provisional Government —(Re-
peated cheers.) There must be a special Ministeir of
Labour.—(Reiterated cheers.) The Assembly must,
without intermission, without stop, without manifesta-
tion of fatigue, continuously consult together, to give
work, to give bread to the people.--(Cheering as betthre.)
The people by this time filled the whole house (none,
however with arms, though some bad sticks). All up
the side passages, and the whole of the centre of the
house presented a sea of heads—there appeared not the
slightest chance of the scene coming to a conclusion,
when suddenly a loud cry of " Vive Rollin" arose. A
man was seen forcing his: way through the crowd, and
the moment atter—
Ledru Rollin ascended the tribune, and was received
with universal acclamations from the people. He alhided
to the justice ot their demand in favour of Poland, tcpol-
of the admirable good sense of the people of Paris; de-
clared that the people had set their grievances before
the Assembly with justice, and that without doubt they
would be properly attended to. But he would appeal
to their sense of justice, if it were possible to deliberate
in such a tumult. He called on them to withdraw on
the instant, and allow the National Assembly to do its
duty and decide what was to be done. (He was loudly
applauded, except at the close, when murmurs arose.)
Voices—Let it vote at once! The matter ha. been
sufficiently debated! We have enlightened the As-
sembly!
An irruption of the delegates of the clubs here :burst
into the reporters' gallery, and two of the men, advanc
ing on the bed of the gallery, stood there unsupported,
demanding to be heard. They could not, however„ suc-
ceed in their attempt.
The Polish flag was benesth, with those of the
" Ateliers Nationaux," the Organization de Travaill,'
and others.
A Delegate and a Pompier successively addresse
the crowd from tho tribune ; most probably, r
commending them to withdraw, for almost imu
diately after the tribune was evacuated. A imo:
merit also was perceptible towards the door, t
it was only for a moment. The human tide v
turned back by some exterior force, and again eve
thing was in confusion. A cry was also raised n.
that " the tribune was giving way 1" Every one tools
towards the tribune at the end, from which several
were seen letting themselves down hastily into t
Chamber. No accident, however, took place, Al t
alarm being caused by a cracking noise of some of t
timber work.
The whole Chamber was by this time filled as 4 w:
steam from the perspiration of the crowd.
M. Barbes here again appeared in the tribune, a
addressed the crowd. The first thing heard was—"
fixed tax of a milliard shall bo levied on the rich,
carry on war for Poland."
All the cheers ot the day were mere trifles to a
which now burst forth. Just as it was dyingl awl
Louis Blanc was recognised amongst the crowd, and
being lifted on their shoulders, was borne to the end
the Hall in triumph, amidst the loudest cries of
Louis Blanc."
A cry here arose " They are beating the rappe,
which having been repeated, it was answered by
dreadful exmamation of " Aux Armes 1" This did r
however, meet with much encouragement, " Led th
beat it what is that to us 1 " In the midst. of I
uproar and emotion excited by these exclamations,
M. Barbes again addressed the crowd, and said tl
the people having manifestly merited well of their cot
try, whoever should order the rappel to be I beat
should be declared a traitor to his country, and hors
loisl—(As usual, thunders of applause greeted I
speaker.)
All this time the President (who had made but:a sh.
stay outside) was from time to time ringing his ins
cient bell, but a new orator had taken possession of the
tribune.

M. Hubert, who had been a political prisoner in
time of the former Government—" Citizens," he crick
" I proclaim, in the name of the sovereign people o,
France, that the National Assembly is disiolved."
(What shouting arose here it is useless to attempt to
describe. The estrade where the President's chair was
placed, the tribune where the orators spoke from,
the benches where the representatives were, were
all covered with men in blouses —in their shirt-
sleeves—in the short jacket of the workman. Flags
were waving—men were shouting—a paper on the end
of a pole bore the words, " Francais secours la Po-
logne!" All was a scene of such confusion that at first
the eye could catch nothing: it was an inextricable mass
of the people and their attributes. The representatives had
gone; the seats opposite, where the public had been
seated in gay attire at the beginning of the sitting, were
now held by the men of the people. All was confusion
worse confounded. The Assembly broke up. The
crowd got tired of remaining in so unaccustomed a
position—they gradually lessened in numbers. The
chant "du depart" was sung by some of them: a cry of
" Aux armes! Aux arrnes!' arose amongst othe•
Women flitted about amongst the men; the Delegt
had all disappeared. The National Guard in
greatest agitation were crying out that they had b
betrayed by General Courtais. We met afterwards
first and second legions advancing to the Natio
Palace in great indignation, and crying " Viie
set:abide Nationale.")
The greatest agitation prevailed in the streets, ev
one trying to learn what bad taken place.
