LIVERPOOL, June 8, 10 a. m.
BY the arrival of one of the Dublin steamers
which left that city at late hour last night we are
in possession Of variety Of intelligence from
Ireland.
The State prisoners are still in Dublin-still con.
hned-si.l in daily expectation of being carried of
from the land they loved "not wisely, but too WE'LL
a.
may they expect no mercy from the Government
The accounts from the provinces which reached
Dublin yesterday are of the most alarming char
acter. Starvation is rapidly increasing Pestilence
and death making awful advance upon the
half-iving peasantry.
Various and conflicting rumors are afoat, respect
ing the temperance Of the disease in the potato
crop: The reports are very contradictory; on the
whole, we are inclined to believe that, up to the
present time, the cases which have already shown
themselves are rare, and not of very vrulen,
character.
A very important meeting has been held in Car
low, for the purpose of promoting emigration upon
a pre-arranged and well concerted plan.

PARIS, June 2, 6 p. nm Odillon Barrot pre-
scented himself in the Leg islative Assembly this day
new Ministers, as follows:
M. Odilon Barrot, President of the Council, and
Minister of Justice.
M. Dufaure, Minister of the Interior.
M. de Tocquevile, Minister of Foreign Affairs
General Rulhieres, Minister at War.
M. de Falloux, Minister OF Public instruction.
M. Passy, Minister of Finance.
Nj. Lanluinais Minister Of Commerce.
M. de Tracey, Minister of Marine; and
M. Lacrosse, Minister of Public Works
The reading Of the above list was received by
the Chamber without any marked appreciation or
disapprobation, with the exception Of the name OF
M de Falloux. When this was pronounced, the cry
of abominabls" heard TO proceed from the Noun
tain, while the name of M. de TocqueviIle appeared
to produce slightly disagreeable impression the
benches of the right.
On the whole, with perhaps the single exception
of M. de Falloux, the new Cabinet is regarded as
one Of conciliaton it, indeed, Cancellation is pos
sble with the members of the Mountain.
M. de Lesseps, whose arrival in Paris an
nounced yesterday, left Rome on the I'd inst, at
which date no hostilities had commenced, though
the armistice had been denounced on the LIST. On
the morning Of that day Gen Regnsult de ST. Jean
d'Angely arrived at Civita vecchia, announcing
that the Roman Republic had proposed to NJ. de
Lesseps to treat the following basis: First,
Guarantee to the Romans against foreign invasion.
Secondly, Cantonment Of the French army in d
vers parts of the Romagna. Thirdly, In case OF
refusal on the part Of the French Government hos
tilities only 10 be resumed Is days after notification
Of such refusal.
These proposals were inadmssble, and Gen.
Oud not refused them. IL appears that some diff
ferences Of opinion broke out between the General
and M. de Lesseps, but these were soon put end
to by the arrival Of dispatches recalling the latter,
and ordering the rupture Of further negotiations
and the attack against Rome.
A correspondent sends US the following the in
tentions Of the French Government in Italy As
soon as the French army has taken possession Of
the Eternal City, they mean TO appoint Govern
mental Committee, composed Of Romans, hut
placed under the protection Of France III is not
said how the members to be selected, under
whose auspices Constituent Assembly, elected by
universal suffrage, will be convoked, which viii have
TO be determined whether the Roman Government
is to be Republic or Monarchy, and whether the
Pope is to be recalled and upon what terms. There
can be no doubt that assembly, chosen under
French protection, will adopt French views. From
the accounts received from Gseta, il would appear
that there is still very great doubt II the Pope will
consent to return under French influence 10 Rome
on any conditions whatsoever and that IL IN certain
he will not consent on any conditions which imply
curtailmcnt Of his temporal powers.
