From the intelligence received by the Steamer Cal
edonia it appears that Europe is in a state of extreme
commoon and disturbance Some of the principal
occurrences will be found below.
The crops in Great Britain and Ireland are highly
promising, and the price of breadstufs is still decln
ing.
IRELAND.
The organization of clubs is proceeding to an alarm
ing degree In Dublin alone, it is stated that there
40 clubs, each consisting of 800 members, making
an aggregate of 10000 men, who are accustomed to
assemble at least week, for the avowed purpose
of being trained and disciplined The county of Dub
lin is about to be organized in the way, and
of the belcose of the old Irish party are taking
active part in this movement In the provinces, un-
der the influence of emssaries from Dublin, the club
movement is rapidly progressing.
FRANCE
The French people continue still in transition
state The same degree Of anxiety and alarm exists
respecting the future, although the threatened aspects
of affairs which prevailed last week has in some de-
gree wore away, in consequence of the resignation ten
dered by Louis Bonaparte of his seat in the National
| Assembly.
In the provinces the most frightul distress prevails
and the peasansin the very heart of the country
well as at the exremities-resst the payment Of the
increased taxes with in their hands and blood has
been split in many of these collisions. The Executive
government throughout all these proceedings gives no
indication Of vigor ready in difficulty, or of
any other attribute which can command the respect
and obedience Off people ike the French, who must
have idol for their hero-worshp. 1t appears to us,
therefore, that Louis Bonapare, by keeping aoof from
the scene for the present, will more eAectuay secure
the obvious aim of his ambition. The brilliant fortune
of Iamartine has sunk at once beneath the bright as
cendant of Lous Bonaparte.
PRUSSIA.
At Berlin the most frghtful scenes have again oc-
Cured. The people not satisfied with the votes Of
their own universal suffrage Parliament have, under
the most imsy etences, seized every opportunity tC
create a tumult. On the 18th inst collision took
place with the Burgher Guard, arising out of an at
tempt to dsperse workmen, who had gone to the
minister to demand work or money. Being refused
the guard attempted to dispense them and five mer
were wounded The news spread like lightning :
barbados were formed, and the people having dscov
cred that the arsenal left unprotected, at clever
o'clock at night made attack upon this building ant
pundered it Of about 1000 stand Of arms and of all the
trophies of war which it contained The crowd kept
possession of the building TILL o'clock and then
tired. The next day was quiet, but one of the depu
ties moved that the Assembly should send away all the
troops and put itself under the protection of the people
THIS vote was carried, and the government resigned.
\ BOHEMIA.
Events of the most atrocious character have occur
red at Prague. The King, having refused to confirm
the Provisional Government, and Prince Wndschgat,
having erected batteries round the town, the mob ant
students rose en- neaSse, and demanded arms A col
lisioD having ensued between the Burgher Guard ant
the populace some assassin seized the opportunity Il
indulge his private malice by firing rifle at the Prin
cess Windschgratz, who was shot in the head. The
victim was the daughter of the celebrated Prince
Schwartzenbourg. One of the princes sons was alst
MORALLY wounded. In these exciting circumstances
Prince Windschgratz, with great caImness and dgni
ty, ntreated the mob to dsperse but to effect the
endeavored to hang him up to lamp by a rope whic
they procured, when he rescued by his grenaders
At five o'clock, the people not having taken down the
barbados he had required, he ordered the heav
guns to be brought into play, and be continued frn
until ten at night The conflict lasted almost withou
intermssion, during the next day; and by the ates
accounts, we hear that Prague heap Of ruins il
consequence of this bombardment, and that Prime
Windschgraz had retreate1 from the city with thu
, garrison, and occupied the heights commanding tn
town.
VIENNA, June 1S.
Intelligence from Prague is of more quiet charac
ter. The city has capitulated. The rebels have give
fourteen hostages; and Prince Windschgradz, has oc
cuped il with his troops.
1t is more probable that these frightfu disorders wi
spread amongst the outlying provinces of Austria,
RUSSIA
. Advices from the Danube announce that Russia
army Of 10000 men had entered Wallachia 1t is as
serted that the Emperor Nicholas contempates enfrar
chising all the peasants in his domnons from persona
servitude. Poland, although invested with 10000
troops, is of much uueasiness to the Empero
. who is said to spend whole days and nights watchin
the telegraphs now established as far as Warsaw an
the frontier of Prussia.
In the Breslan journals of the 10th inst, it is state
that the whole Baltic is covered with Russian mer
It of-war The whole western frontier of the Russia
: empire bristes with bayones. The troops advanc
forward from Lithuana and Vohyna by forced march
es. The chief force of the Emperor Nicholas stand
already on the river Pruth, ready at any moment
e march,
