dents that have occurred on the continent
OF Europe of a more striking character
than any that have come to hand for a
considerable time, among which that of
the successful resistance by the Roman
Republic to French interventionis not the
least striking. Our readers will peruse
the despatch with intense interest:
BALTIMORE, May 26.-England.-The
House of Lords has decided against Smith
O'Brien and McManus; OH the writ of
error, affirming the decision of the court.
They will probably be transported on the
LIST of June. 1t is rumored that the pro-
secution of Duffy will be abandoned.
Germany.--The quarrel throughout
Germany has reached its highest PITCH
A conflict has already taken place in Sax
ony, wherein the people were victorious,
after a fight Of seven hours. Russian
troops then arrived, and the contest re-
commenced, which was still continuing
with deadly energy at latest dates. A bat
tie was also raging at Dresden between
the military and the people, to the disad-
vantage of the latter, and without any inn
mediate prospect of a termination. A
reward had been offered for the heads of
members of the Provisional Government. 4
A disturbance had taken place at Ber-
lin. and in a conflict between the troops
and the peof le the Former were victorious.
An instruction broke out at Breslau ON
the 9th inst. The troops and the people
were fighting in the streets.
Austria and Hungary.-The Austrian
Government is in danger of dissolution,
through the continued successes Of the
Hungarians. Russia in the meantime
was advancing with succor. The Hun
garians declare that enthusiasm is at
such a height among them that it will re-
quire more than Russia and Austria com.
bined to quell them. From Posen TO
Pesth is involved in or on the brinkof hos
%til,ties. The London and Paris papers
state that a joint note had been addressed
to Russia by England and France, init
mating their Interpretation Of interven-
ton by the Gar in the dispute between
Austria and Hungary, and %instructing that
interference be Withdrawn. 70
Haly.-The advance of the French
expedition towards Rome has been check-
ed by the resistance of the Roman Re-
public. The French were driven back in
two encounters, and Capt. Oudinot was
taken prisoner. Gen. Oudinot was un.
prepared for this resistance, and Withdrew
his troops four leagues from Rome, where
he awaits reinforcements and farther in
structions from his Government. Loss Of
the French $50 killed and 400 wounded.
Denmark.-The Danish war continues
very feeble. .=j!5uas a.
France.-The Napoleon quarrel is still
progressing, and a spirit Of discomfort
is evinced by the military, caused by the
lampooning Of the Socialists, threatening
a serious outbreak.
The news of the defeat of the troops at
Rome has touched France on the. ten
derest point-her glory. Hereon, all were
unanimous, and previous difficulties were
soon forgotten. It appears that the General
marched from Cevita Vecchia for Rome,
under the impression that he was called
thither by the wishes Of the people, when
he unexpectedly met with resistance and
was routed. The Roman Assembly re-
ceived a. deputation from the French
army, Inc reques,edthe latterto assign rea.
sons for the armed occupation Of their
country by a foreign power. They re-
piled that the first was to preserve the
Roman States from Austrian invasion;
second, ascertain precisely what was the
sentiment Of the ~populace III relation to
the form Of government they chose, and
to put in train measures to secure q re-
coaciliation between the Pope and the
people. On the 9th ,ult. the Assembly
resolved to adhereto their resolutions to
oppose the French. Cannons were plan
ted in the roads and the gates leading to
the streets. The Central Committee
moreover protested against the invasion,
informing Oudinot that Rome would re
sist his advance by force, and, would blow
up the Quirinal, the Vatican and q. e
tiers, which were already undermined
