FURTHER EXTRACTS.
The intelligence by The Hermann is oil con-
siderable interest, especially for its bearing on
the great question OF peace or war IN Europe,
which seems in great danger Of being resolved
IN favor Of The later. The tide of Anli-Austrian-
ism in Italy appears TO be setting backwafd.-
The ardor Of Italian na;ionalism does not enable
The troops whom il warns 10 make head against
Inc tiscinlined yalor OF The Austrian regulars
intervention by France-armed inlerVention-or
in other words a war Of propasandism against
Aus,ria-seems TO be looked upon as a certainty.
The iron hand Of Austria has been laid also on
The devoted city OF CGacow, where anolher al
tempt al revolt has brought on a destructive bonn
bardmenr, followed by a scarcely qualified SUBJ
mission.
The city of Cracow pledges itself to remove
all Polish and French emigrants, who are mol
Austrian subjects, from The city and territory and
beyond the Austrian frontiers.
The committee now in operation is 10 be bro
ken up and no new committee is 10 be formed.
Ali private individuals, and The National Guard
especially, are 10 lay down their arms, and a full
amnesty is assured TO all concerned in these oc-
curences.
The one days farther proceedings of the
French National Assembly (as stated before by
telegraph include The election OF a presiding ON.
Ger Tor the body-an unknown person, or at least,
one OF liule note, a M. BucheZ-and a somewhat
curious instance of the kind Of control exercised
over the assembly BY The power out OF dooIs.-
The following account is given OF this ceremony:
The PROCLAMATION or THE REPuBLlc.-On
the evening Of the ilh, NJ. Berger, in the name
of the deputies OF The Seine, proposed 1.-THE Ma
lional Assembly, faithful Interpreter OF the sen'l-
menls of the people by whom il has just been

its motto, Liberty, equality, fraternity

agitation. The whole assembly rose in the
midst OF the loudest acclamaiions of approval.
A member.-The heroic population of Paris
requests you, through the commandant Of the
National Guard, to proclaim with it the Repub-
lie in the face of day.
The utmost enthusiasm was then evinced, and
the Provisional Government leading the way,
the whole of the assembly proceeded outside TO
the steps, in front of the building, opposite the
Pont de la Concorde.
A correspondent Of the London Times Of the
5th says:
"Were the most theatrical people in The world

that met The eye Of the observer on reaching The
bridge, the portico, and The immense flight oil
s,eps-the most extensive perhaps in Europe

the qaays al each side of the bridge and on each
side the rive. crammed with people and National
Guards mixed irregularly. Within the railing
the National Guards and staff officers filled the
space that lies between it and The first steps,
Above were the members of The Provisional Go

of the flight of steps beneath them, the 900 or 700
members OF the Assembly. Every man Of them

The Pont Royal on The one side and The Pont des
I~nvalides on The other, and from The church OF
the Madeline in front, if human vision could

The scene that presented itself deies descrip-
tion. The colors Of The National Guards had
been brought within the railing by The time that |
arrived. Something was wanting, but il was
soon forthcoming. The colors ofthe army were
called for in voices OF lhunder. They were
brought forward, and then recommended The pro.
clamalion OF The Republic, The acceptance OF il,
and The ffaterDization Of the Goth of April; but il
would seem that the enthusiasm surpassed that
observable on The day just mentioned, and il was
stimulated by the thunder OF The cannon OF The
Inyalidcs.

Republic was proclaimed and accepted unequiv-
ocally by the National Assembly, in the presence
Of 200 900 OF the people of Paris. 'Woe 10 those,
or 10 any class, who shall occasion doubts OF the

This fortress, which is one of the strongest in
Italy, was the bulwark Of the Republican pro-

The Augsburgh Gazette, of the 3Oth ul.imo,
contains the following letter from Trieste, of the
Goth:
A report from General Nugent, in the Vienna
