ROME.

The last accounts received from Rome, to the
10th inst., by the Castor steam-boat, are of con-
siderable importance. She has brought the de-
claration of principles announced to the Roman
Chambers on the first day of their sitting,
by which the difficult problem of the separa-
tion of the spiritual from the temporal power has been
solved. The deputy Bonaparte having asked whe-
ther the declaration read to the Assembly was merely
the expression of the Ministry, or whether it was the
expression of his Holiness wishing to recognise the
sacred and imprescriptible rights of the people, Signor
Mamiani, the Minister of the Interior, replied as
follows :—" The programme is the introduction of
the entire Ministry, of whom all the members have
participated in its composition, I consequently pro-
claim loudly that the declaration is the unanimous
expression of the Ministry, ratified and approved
entirely by his Holiness."

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool, yesterday, was steady,
with a fair demand. American qualities at 3% per lb. were
rather firmer, but in other sorts there was no change. Sales
5,050 bales, of which 1,000 were American on speculation.
The Railway Share Market was quiet, and prices generally
were lower. _ _

There are various arrivals to-day from east and west.
The report of the mercantile markets in India is very satis-
factory, considering past events, and money was decidedly
easy. The affairs of the unfortunate Calcutta Bank were
still the general theme of conversation, but it is impossible
to say how the depositors will come off. There was a strong
disposition to force the shareholders to pay wherever they
possessed means, to the fullest extent.
We can hardly expect anything favourable from the West
Indies, and are consequently not disappointed at the tenor of
the accounts before us. In nearly all the islands money was
very scarce, and there was a conviction that the expenditure
must be greatly reduced. The weather generally was
favourable, but there were parts in which rain was greatly
needed. The affairs of the West India Bank progressed but
slowly, and the bad debts were found to be heavier than was
expected.
The Ilibernia steamer 'is telegraphed as having ar-
rived off Liverpool, but we shall probably have no letters
to-day.
The Corn Market is steady to-day for wheat, but spring
grain is lower.
In the Funds business is very slack to-day, and prices are
not so good. The intelligence of the reported defeat of the
Italians has an effect in checking business, but the pro-
ceedings of Parliament are not without their influence.
Consols realised 83% 1/2 ex. dividend. The New Three-and•
a-Quarter per Cents. have been 84i to ; Bank Stock is
worth 191. Exchequer-bills are 40s. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been flat again. Spanish

are 62; Mexican Bonds have been 16% to %; Russian are
firm at M ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have fluc-
tuated frona 42',zi to 434.
Railway Shares have been very quiet, and not buoyant.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY

The present week's arrival of English Wheat for our market
coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample, has been but mo-
derate. The attendance of buyers to-day was tolerably numerous;
while the demand for all descriptions was steady, at fully Monday's
advance in the quotations. The best parcels of Foreign Wheat—the
supply of which was moderate— moved off steadily, at full rates of
currency. In the middling and inferior kinds, only a moderate busi-
ness was doing, at late figures. The imports of Foreign Barley con-
tinue large. That article was heavy, on somewhat easier terms.
Malt—the supply of which was moderate —moved off slowly, but we
have no decline to notice in value. Xearly 18,000 quarters of Foreign
Oats have come to hand. Coastwise, as well as from Ireland, very
few cargoes have been reported. The Oat trade was very dull, and
prices receded Gd per quarter. Indian Corn, Meal, and Flour, were
quite as dear.

AUSTRIA.

The Breslau Gazette announces, on the faith of
letters from Vienna, that the Emperor of AUSTRIA.
has decided to restore to the German Diet at Frank-
furt the crown and insignia of CHARLEMAGNE, which
since the invasion of the French in 1796, have re-
mained in the Imperial Treasury at Vienna, having
been transported there from Nuremberg.
The Krakow Gazette puplishes a proclamation
dated Lem'Arg, Gallicia, the 27th of March, which
states that every person having arms in his possession
without special. authorization will be punished
severely. The same severity will be exercised
against all who should call together or provolce po-
pular assemblages for discussing political matters.
Letters from Vienna, of the 6th of April, in the
Cologne states that to prevent any surprise
of
the port Gorta:eifTter'ieste by the ships which have joined
the Italian insurgents, the Austrian Government has
claimed the protection of the English squadron sta-
tioned at the lonian Islands.

A proclamation, published on the 6th of April, at
resignation has been accepted by the EMPRROR, and
Prague, by Count SrenioN, announces that his
Archduke FRANZ Jowl! nominated Governor of
Bobemia.

Vterms, APRIL s.—(Official.)—ln accordance
with the wishes of his MAJasTr his Imperial High-
ness Archduke Cell., feels himself pledged to support
his ISIAJESTT in the present accumulation of business,
and to retain the entire supervision of the affairs of
the Ministry.

Since the appointment of a responsible Ministry
it has assembled daily, to take into consideration the
most urgent affairs, and to decide upon the most
effectual measures to be adopted for the speedy exe-
cution of the project of the constitution accorded by
his MAJESTY.

In consequence of the absence of the newly ap-
pointed Minister of Finance, matters relative to this
department cannot be definitively arranged. Among
the most important of these was the transfer of
a proportionable share of the interest of the
national debt on the kingdom of Hungary, incurred
by the common regiments of the Monarchy with the
maintenance of all securities and bonds.— Weiner
Zeitung, April 7.

ONE OF THE BRAVE CHILDREN OF PARIS.

" A child, one of these admirable enfans de Paris, of
which this capital alone supplies a type, and which the
people have baptized by the name of titis, flew about
the Place, animating the people and provoking the sol-
diers. Etienne saw him alternately to his right, to his
left, opposite him, and, despite the gravity of his per-
sonal situation, he admired, from the bottom of his
heart, the careless courage, the bold heart of the heroic
child, whose shoulder had been cut by a bayonet or a
ball, whose shirt was all bloody, and who in the van, in
the most perilous post, armed only with a sabre, and in
a shower of balls, came to brave new wounds, or an
almost certain death; and all this because he had heart;
because the smell of powder was as a loadstone; because,
in fine, he was an enfant de Paris!"

SOVEREIGNTY OF THE PRINTING PRESS,
" While I was reading, a friend tapped me on the
shoulder. I turned round. It was a joyous Republican,
who dragged me up the dark stairs of the house, and
into the office of the Reforme. At a table sat six
persons writing. They were surrounded by armed men,
who cried aloud for copies of the list. The six men
were writing, as fast as they could, the list, and handing
it to anxious friends, who took copies, and hurried away
to proclaim the names on the barricades. I asked for a
copy.
" ' One for the Place Vendome!' cried one.
" One for the Hotel de Ville!' cried another.
" Leave out that Marrast!' said a third, a short
thick-set man, with a musket in his hand, I know him.
It a perdu la Tribune.'
" The men continued copying in the most imper-
turbable manner.
" A Deputation from the Section of -,' said the
doorkeeper, and 0119 of the six men rose to greet it.
London, England, 1848-04-13

" SECRET EXPENDITURE.

The following is the preface to this document, to I
which we have already referred:—
" The Ministerial departments of the Interior, of
Foreign Affairs, and of War, show that every year large
amounts of money are charged by the Ministers, under
the head of secret expenditure, of which no account has
been rendered to the King. Louis Philippe, however,
during many years, made a collection of these annual
financial papers, which collection was discovered at the
Tuileries, whence it was sent to the Court of Appeal.
These documents, In order to be complete, should also
c.ntain other statements, such as gratuities to artists and
literary men—gratuities which the Minister of the Inte-
rior and of Public Instruction improperly distributed in
secret.

" We shall commence to-day with the Minister of
War, whose secret expenditure may be classified under
two heads—that given away at home, and that distri-
buted in Algeria.
" The first description of these disbursements is almost
entirely included in money placed at the direction of the
commandants of the military divisions, but which does
not at all interest our readers, including also secret fo-
reign missions, which at present it would be attended
with inconvenience to specify, the dry details of which,
therefore, we:shall not relate.
"In the secret expenditure for Algeria, some was
laid out in Africa, and, although more or less equitable
possesses no particular interest, being placed under the
direction of general :officers, or of superiors entrustedd
with commands. But the Algerian expenses, ordered
and paid in France, are frequently of another character,
and we notice among the participating parties a great
number of French Arabs.
" Even up to 1839, the War Minister haccadomunat,hknownn
to the King merely the otals of t e
bore at the same time to gtive a list of the names of the
persons who hid received the money.
London, England, 1848-04-13

NAPLES AND SICILY.

Intelligence has been received from Naples, ac-
cording to which the Earl of MINTo has returned to
that city, and publicly testified his dissatisfaction at
the " versatile" conduct of the KING, who, on his
side, has treacherously withdrawn all his promises to
the Sicilians, and resolved to treat them as rebels.
The people of Sicily, however, will not be put down
so easily as his MAJESTY supposes. They have de-
termined to throw armed corps on the coasts of
Calabria, although it is possible (adds the writer)
that their valiant efforts will be anticipated by a re•
volution in Naples, where the people are equally
exasperated. The display of military force in the
capital is very imposing, but the inhabitants are not
intimidated. They bide their time. FERDINAND
himself is aware of the danger of his situation, and
has already made preparations to flee from his do-
minions, bag and baggage. Steamers are riding in
the harbour ready to receive on board the representa-
tive of deposed Royalty. It is said that the Sicilians
have offered 10,000 soldiers to CHARLES ALBERT and
the Italians.

The Nouvelliste of Marseilles of Sunday says—
" The report, which was spread three days ago in this
city by the captain and passengers of the Lombardo,
of a revolution in Naples, is contradicted to-day by
the news brought by the Capni, which left Naples on
the 4th."
We read in a letter from Naples of the 4th, pub-
lished by a Marseilles journal :—" The new Ministry
is composed of M. TROJA, President and Minister of
Public Instruction ; M. DRAGONETTI, of Foreign
Affairs and Public Worship ad interim; M. DEL
GIIIDICU, War and the Marine ; M. ROBERTI, Pub.
lic Works ; Count FERRETTI, Finances, and ad interim
Agriculture and Commerce. Lord MINTO will
shortly proceed to the Adriatic with the British
squadron."

ONE OF TILE BRAVE CHILDREN Or PARIS.

" A child, one of these admirable exfans de Paris, of
which this capital alone supplies a type, and which the
people have baptized by the name of title, flew about
the Place, animating the people and provoking the sol-
diers. Etienne saw him alternately to bis right, to his
left, opposite him, and, despite the gravity of his per-
sonal situation, he admired, from the bottom of 'his
heart, the careless courage, the bold heart of the heroic
child, whose shoulder had been cut by a bayonet or a
ball, whose, shirt was all bloody, and who in the van, in
the raost perilous post, armed only with a sabre, and in
'a shdwer of balls, came to brave new wounds, or an
almost certain- death; and all this because he had heart;
because the smell of powder was as a loadstone; because,
in fine, he was an enfant de Paris!"

SOYZREIGNTT OF THE PRINTING PRESS.
" While I was reading, a friend tapped me on the
shoulder. I turned round. It was a joyous Republican,
who dragged me up the dark stairs of the house, and
into the office of the Beforme. At a table sat six
persons writing. They were surrounded by armed men,
who cried aloud for copies of the list. The six men
were writing, as fast as they could, the list, and handing
it to anxious friends, who took copies, and hurried away
to proclaim the names on the barricades. I asked for a
copy.
" f One for the Place Vendome!' cried one.
" One for the Hotel de Ville!' cried another.
" Leave out that Marrast!' said a third, a short
thick-set man, with a musket in his hand, 6 I know him.

" The men continued copying in the most imper-
turbable manner.

" SECRET EXPENDITURE.

The following is the preface to this document, to
which we have already referred:—
" The Ministerial departments of the Interior, of
Foreign Affairs, and of War, show that every year large
amounts of money are charged by the Ministers, under
the head of secret expenditure, of which no account has
been rendered to the King. Louis Philippe, however,
during many years, made a collection of these annual
financial papers, which collection was discovered at the
Tuileries,;whence it was sent to the Court of Appeal.
These documents, in order to be complete, should also
contain other statements, such as gratuities to artists and
literary men—gratuities which the Minister of the Inte-
rior and of Public Instruction improperly distributed in
secret.

" We shall commence to-day with the Minister of
War, whose secret expenditure may be classified under
two heads—that given away at home, and that distri-
buted in Algeria.
"The first description of these disbursements is almost
entirely included in money placed at the direction of the
commandants of the ,military divisions, but which does
not at all interest our readers, including also secret fo-
reign missions, which at present it would be attended
with inconvenience to specify, the dry details of which,
therefore, we:shall not relate.
"In the secret expenditure for Algeria, some was
laid out in Africa, and, although more or less equitable
possesses no particular interest, being placed under tho
direction of general :officers, or of superiors entrusted
with commands. But the Algerian expenses, ordered
and paid in France, are frequently of another character,
and we notice among the participating parties a great
number of French Arabs.
" Even up to 1839, the War Minister bad made known
to the King merely the totals
.of the

lieve in the young Hercules. A first article was, how-
over, accepted, and a second, and a third; and, in fine
M. Cauchois-Lernaire made a provisional offer of 1,200
francs to his young assistant. After fifteen days, how-
ever, they placed the salary of Louis Blanc at 2,000 francs,
then at 3,000; and, lastly, the chief editorship was con-
fided to him. The sensation which his articles produced
was immense, and they exercised great influence upon
the democratic party, and helped considerably to asso-
ciate them for a common purpose, by the union of the
theories of the political and social school—the one as the
means, the other as the end."
According to the opinion of the contributor to Tait,
" posterity will place the name of Louis Blanc by
the side of such brilliant names as Lamartine
and Arago, as among the founders of the
new French Republic." We doubt it not, for
we are sanguine that the hitherto impracticable
scheme of the author of the " Organization of
Industry" will ripen into measures calculated to pro-
mote the happiness of his fellow-citizens. Besides
one or two intelligent papers on such subjects as
" Lite Assurance" and the " Scotch Entail Rill,"
the magazine contains its usual " Literary Re-
gister," and its resume of the political occurrences of
the month just expired.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Among those publications which may be classified 1
as miscellaneous, the most prominent is the Eclectic
Review, in the current number of which the criticism
on Lamartine's " History of the Girondists" is con_
eluded_ Having sketched in the preceding month
the careers of the Constituent and Legislative As-
semblies, the reviewer here traces that still more
extraordinary career, the career of the National
Convention. One observation strikes us as being
singularly felicitous, namely, where it is said that
" Roland and his wife were a bourgeois duplicate of
Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette." In the rather
scanty and superficial notice of Tennyson's " Prin-
cess, the Eclectic remarks disparagingly that the
"Medley" resembles grotto-work, "where the spar
aglitterst beside the common pebble-stone, and the
trf:rand jasper are embedded in sand." It cannot

DENMARK•

The King of DENMARK has resolved to grant a
constitution to his people, and has published a
manifesto announcing the fact. In it he declares
that finding it impossible to grant a constitution
based on the principles laid down in his rescript
of January 28, he revokes the said rescript, and
annuls the choice of delegates that may have been
made in virtue of :it. On the other hand he
convokes the provincial states both for Den-
mark and the Duchy of Schleswick, in
order that they may give an opinion—
first, as to the convocation of a general
diet, to which a new charter is to be submitted, and
a reorganization of the provincial states; and twe,
an electoral law, having for its object the formation
of a general diet. He has also called together the
provincial states of the islands for the 26th instant,
and expresses a hope that he may be able to do the
same for Jutland and Schleswick in a week after-
wards. The manifesto is dated the 4th, and the next
day the KING embarked on board the Aegir steamer,
to proceed to Flensburg (Schleswick), to place him-
self at the head of the army. In the province of

deration said,

THE FIRST DREAM OF A REPUBLIC.
" One, a warm enthusiastic Republican, said, 'Mon-
sieur, give me a round sum of money and a dozen reso-
lute men, and I will revolutionize Paris in one night.'
I asked how. The sacristains of Paris, like the priests,
re all Carlists. I would go round to them, and hold-
ing out hopes, that after a revolution Henry V. would
stand a good chance if he had the friends he was as-
serted to have. I would beg or buy admission into
every church in Paris. In each I would place one de-
termined man, who tonight, at midnight, should sound
the tocsin, when all would be over; the rising would be
general; every one would rush to arms, and before dawn
Paris would bo ours. Bonjour, monsieur,' and the
journeyman painter, who had been speaking, walked
away, leaving me convinced of the deep-rooted hatred
of monarchy which had put such notions into the
people's minds."

HEROIC DARING OF A GAMIN.

" A formidable barricade had been erected. A com-

assault, when a lad of about fifteen, wrapping himself
in a red cloth that served as a flag, flew to the top of the
barricade, knelt down, and cried out, Fire now if you
will!' The intrepid example of the gamin was imme-
diately followed by some men, who bared their breasts,
and called on the soldiers to re on unarmed men. The
soldiers raised their guns, and refused to fire, amid loud
cries of. Vice la ligAe !"
