Six Days Later News.
The Hbernia arrived at New York last
Saturday.
The intelligence from Great Britain is not
of very great moment. The state of Ireland
was apparently more calm and tranquil
From the continent, however, the news con-
tinues to be momentous, important and inter-
esting. Our readers will find full accounts
from the several parts Of Europe under their
respective heads.
ENGLAND.
The English funds had been buoyant dur
ing the wcek,ond the temperate proceedings
of the National assembly of France had
strengthened mercantile confidence, so that
there was n rise in the public securities.

signs ofweakuess and, with limited transac-

IRELAND.
The accounts from Ireland this week are
Of much more pacific and peaceful charnc~
ter than any which have been received for
some time past. The following extracts from
the papers embrace all the items of mpor-
lance:

The military force now in Ireland compri-

of the militia regiments, and the armed pol

. FRANCE. ...
Our French correspondence and files con-
tain little of interest, save the proceedings OF
the National Assembly. The Provisional
Government have resigned their trust, and a
new Quintuple Executive has been appoin-
ted, in which Lamartine stands fourth on the
list. This decrease of popularity was occa-
stoned by his refusal TO become member of
the Executive, if Ledru Rolin was excluded
while a large party wished to eject this
radical from power. Some ofthe papers as
sert that Lamarlne has not the independence
necessary to raise him to the level ofthe po
silion into which the tempest of the 24th of
February has thrown him, and go OH 10 say
that he shrinks from the encounter OF the
fierce opposition, oflhe small but energetic
party of which Ledru Roln would instantly
become The leader,and desires 10 disarm such
opposition. by placing his opponent beside
him iii the Government. Lnmnrtine's friends
contradict ibis, and say that he only wishes
to retain LeClru Rolln in the Cabinet, i'll or
der TO let him share the responsibilities of
power, instead of raising party to oppose II
This appears 10 us to be the wisest course:
for France, and all its elements Of power and
intellect, are not quiet enough yet TO effectu-
ally crush the different shades of organized
agrarianism, ench destructive oflaw and So
y,lhough their creeds may vary. Lamar
tines policy is evidently to leave the ultra
everythings no margin-to give them no reg
ular starting point of opposition, no object of
hostility; to make every characterization
assembly, governnent-as democratic, and
equal, and open as possible; and to defeat,
coitound, and battle them, by the ever vigi-
liant good sense, temper, and moderation ofthei
majority.
One of the English correspondents eX-
presses deal ofjoy at the low estimation in
which the communist champions are held,
aud says that Louis Blanc is eclipsed-his
three legged stool whipt from under him.
The chief danger appears to us to lie in war;
The Ausrians seem not only bent on Defence
but on the re conquest of Lombardy; and
England, it is to be feared, is abetting them
in this aggressive policy. Not only is Nu-
gent marching to reduce Venice and rein
force the line of the Adige, but by the last
accounts an Austrian force is threatening TO
break through the neutrality of Switzerland
and enter the Grisons, in order TO menace
Milan from the Splugen. Should the Aus
TRANS execute such a purpose. or seriously
threaten Milnn,it is not to be expected that a
ny French Minister could resist the inevitable
impulse and vote Of the National Assembly
to march at once to the liberation Of Italy.
Inthe National Assembly long discussion
took place respecting the new Provisional
Government at the close of which the As
scmbly decided unanimously that the nomi-
nation of five members of the executive com
mit,ee should take place by ballot, and by an
absolute majority. lGef. l-E
