GENERAL INTELLIGENCE.
The steamship Washington, with Kossuth
and suite, was TO leave Southampton on the
l4th for New York, as before stated. He
continued to receive the most marked respect
from all England. The French Assembly
had met, and the President bad delivered his
message; the chief feature Of which, wasa
demand for the restoration Of universal suf-
frage, with some very slight restrictions. -
The ministry had asked the Assembly TO de-
clare the proposed measure urgent which the
Assembly refused to do, by acclamation.--
Thus the Legislature and Executive powers
We're placed in direct opposition, and the re-
suit was anxiously looked for public tram
quilty remains undisturbed, however, and
confidence mistaken.
Advices from the Cape Of Good Hope, had
been received in England to the frst 0cto-

The health Of the King Of Hanover is stead

LIE Clty dutnOritleS OF Dlrmln8uhm unu
Manchester had refused to receive Koss,ith
formally, upon which the people took up the
matter, and were determined to give him an
enthusiastic reception.
The position the French Minister has as
sumed has met with the most violent opposi-
tion from the Legitamist organs. The excite
ment in the Assembly was Intense, & the Pres
ident was broadly accused with motives Of
personal ambition; whilst on the other hand
the Republic journals are greatly elated with
the prospect of universal suffrage and strong
ly advocate it, as the surest way of avoiding
i civil war. In his message the President re-
presents the financial affairs of the country
in deplorable state. In reference to the So
cialist movement and disorder, he says a for
midable conspiracy exists the avowed OBJ
| ject Of which is, the utter overthrow and up
rooting of society, as at present constituted.
There is but little prospect Of any compro-
mise being effected between the President and
majority of the Assembly. $
