FRANcE.-Advices from Paris on Tues
day evening, states that the city was
perfectly tranquil; business on the Bourse
was steady and prices had an upward
tendency On Monday the Ministry in
troduced into the Assembly bill for
regulating the Press. Odillon Barrott
stated that it was intended merely as
temporary measure to regulate the posi-
ton of the Press, until an organic law
on the subject should be passed. The
new law is nearly the same as that pas
sed under Louis Philippe. Powers are
given for the temporary suppression Of
every journal attacking the constitution
or making an appeal to arms.
The chickering's between the President
and the Ministry are rapidly approaching
to a crisis, which it is supposed will lead
to the retirement of some OF the members
of the cabinet; the principal motive of
discord is the anomalous and parricidal
policy i'll Italy.
RoME.-After a severe bombardment
of the squadron of the French army, they
have been successful in establishing them
selves within the outer walls on the 22d.
They have since been occupied with
operation for acquiring possession OF the
inner bastions and defences, but up to the
23d and 24th they had not made much
progress Every inch OF ground was
sternly defended by Garabaldi. who still
continues in command strongly defending
his ground and animating the Romans
to resistance. The latest intelligence
saws Oudinot had so far succeeded that
the city was entirely at his mercy, to
snare which, and the horrors OF frlghtful
carnage, he submitted terms to the Irlum-
virate, which it was thought, would be
accepted. BY rumor it is reported that
Enuland had presented friendly remon-
strances against the bombardment OF
Rome urging upon the French Govern
ment the necessity of coming to accom-
modatlng terms.
The London Globe says that Schles-
wig affairs are rapidly drawing to con-
clusion, and that the first settlement may
be expected in a fortnight.
The Hungarians Were partially defeat
ed by the Austrian troops on the 21st,
and forced to retire beyond Waab, whence,
from the nature of the country, they will
be better able to repel invading forces.
Letters from the Austrian and German
journals state that engagements have
recently taken place between the Aus
trians and Hungarians at ten different
points on the Waab. Some ascribe vic
torv to the Austrians and others to the
Hungarians.
The German Reform which has hither-
to been favorable, says that the Austrlans
have sustained severe checks, and that
the cholera and other maladles are raging
in their camp, that the Maygars are dis
plaving greater enthusiasm than ever.
Kossutt. has ordered the Austrian prison
ers, several Thousand in number, to work

tice to the inhabitants. The lombard
ment of Venice has been suspended in
consequence of proposals for capitulatlon
having been made by the besieged.
Accounts from Central Germany and
Prussia, are of much more specific charac-
ter than hitherto. The Emperor of China

Canton would be open to foreigners.
