_FRANCE . ( From the Morning Chronicle . ) Paris , Thursday . —The Electoral Law . —The dull and interminable discussion on the electoral law , wbicb has been _coing on for some days past , was , in the sitting of yesterday evening , enlivened by an amendment brought forward by the well-known M . Pierre Leronx . The seventy-third clause of the bill enumerates the crimes and offences wliich are to exclude citizens from either beiog electors or from _sittiiig as representatives iu the Legislative Assembly . The Assembly had successively adopted tfee different portions of the clause which excludes from seats in we Chamber all individuals condemned at any penoa or
their lives for crimes and felonies , as well as ; those condemned for theft , swindling , abuse of »» JJ _* - »« ( usury , and also those £ ** f _& £ _^ 3 rights—Insane persons . & c - _« - _^ resi uu cu to make an exception in favour of persons * _J , 0 had been afflicted with _>«* _«^ _SJStte contended with great warmth tbat several _otine St honourable and most useful publie men had , at some per iod , of . heir hv « , been confined for a lime _inmaisons _desante , but tbat that was no reason why thev should for ever afterwards be excluded from all participation in State affairs . The Assembly , however , refused to make aay exception , and determined that all parsons who had ever been in . sane should be excluded . Another attempt was
made in favour of those who had been convicted for theft before tbe age of sixteen years , but who , if this law were passed , would find themselves during the whole course of their live 3 deprived of their civil rights ; and it was contended that it was extremely hard that snch persons should be punished perpetually for a crime committed at a period of life when tbey ought not to be held _respons'ble . The Assembly refused te listen to any such reasoning , and at ence adopted the clause . This rigonr on the part of the _Assembly roused M . Pierre Leronx . He ascended the tribune in a
Btate of great excitement . Itwas . ' said he , in hearing yon pass such a series of Draconian laws that the idea came npon me ( to show you how yon are abasing yonr powers ) of proposing that those personB who have been or shall be condemned for the crime of adultery , shall be incapable of being elected members of the Legislature . ' This proposition was received with loud laughter , bat 81 . Leronx contended that if the principle of exclusion in the case of theft was good , it was equally good in tbat of adultery . He then went on to argue that the principle of exclusion was altogether an absurdity . The sovereignty of the people was
absolute , and any attempt to restrict the choice of representatives was a _violttion of that sovereipty . The people was the source of all rights , and of the right of mercy a 3 well as others . With an electoral law , such as the National Assembly now proposed to pas 3 _, Jesn 3 Christ himself could not have been elected a representative of the people . Isaac Newton had been considered as a madman , & c . He concluded by declaring thai , in moving for the exclusion of adulterers from the Assembly , his object was to do for families , by branding them , what the Assembly wa 3 doing for property in branding thieves .
. M . Baze opposed tbe motion on the ground that there were some offences which are condemned rather by public opinion than by the law , and that this was one of them . M . B 11 AAUI . T admitted that adultery wa 3 a crime like theft , but it had not the same character _, nor the same signification . On tbis account legislators had always made a difference between such crimes , and a magistrate was not allowed o fficially to punish the crime of adultery , excepting on the complaint of the injured individual .
M . Leroux made a long reply to this speech , hut he was frequently interrupted by the impatience Of ihe Assembly , wbicb was anxious to come to the vote . Finding * at length that he would not be listened to , he closed his observations suddenly , imeerinijly observing to his interupters , that ' he could understand their haste to come to a vote , for the purpose of giving an amnesty to the vices of the rich . ' The result was , however , very different from what was expected . After two doubtful divisions , par asris et leve , the Assembly balloted on the question , and to the astonishment of every one M . Pierre Leronx _' s amendment was carried by a majority of 57 , th <* numbers being—for the amendment , 288 ; against it , 229 .
The _tssunGENTS of June . —Party of the insurgents of June wbo had been pardened have again been arrested by the Commissary of Police of La Chapelle St . Denis , in consequence of their disturbing the neighbourhood at night and singing seditious songs . Effects ofBtjgeaud _' s Pacificatiox . —Serious affrays broke out on the 19 : li and 20 th nit ., at Lyons . Tbey took place in one of the principal squares of that city , near a statue of the Feuple Souverain , which had been erected some time since , and which , it was reported among the people , the government was about to remove . On ths 19 th , the crowd having broken the windows of the barracks occupied hy the dragoons , a party of the dragoons sallied
forth , with arms in their hands , and attacked the crowd , among whom a great number were wonnded . One man was run through by a sabre , and died on the spot . Ths mob contrived to get one of the officers into a trap , and took him prisoner , but tbe soldiers contrived to recover him just as he was on the point of being put to death . The Prefect of Lyons bas addressed a proclamation to the inhabitants , praying them to aid him in keeping the public peace . The Lyon 3 ( bourgeois ) papers state that the Socialists are doing all they can to irritate the soldiers . It is supposed tbat these disorders are in consequence of the presence of Marshal Bugeaud at Lyons . The Marshal receives every day anonymous letters threatening him with death .
THE _AKSIVBKSAEr OF THB _UEVOLVTIOS . ( From the Times . ) SAT * JH . DAr . —The religious ceremony in commemoration of the Revolution of February , has passed off in the most tranquil manner , notwithstanding the vast crowds tbat thronged the streets . From an early hour the strains of military music were heard from the different corps as they were proceeding to their respective destinations . The -weather was fine , though tbe morning rose in elonds and mist , as if nature had also put on her mourning
for the victims of revolution . The sombre appearance of the heaven 3 passed off , however ; and , though some importance was attached to it by the superstitions , yet it was no less a fact tbat nearly at the moment when the thunder of artillery announced that the funeral wail , the chant of mourning for the victims of February , the dir _^ e for the dead , was over , and that the Te Deum , the hymn of joyous thanksgiving , wa 3 begun , tbe clouds began to roll away , and the sun shone forth frcm a serene and cloudless sky .
At the honr specified in the programme of the ceremonial , the representative ] assembled together in the Salle dela Presidence of the National Assembly ; and exactly at half-past nine o ' clock they , with their president , vice-presidents , and secretaries at their head , put themselves in motion , and , the greater part on foot and decorated with the tricolor sash , edged with gold fringe , which they wore from right to left , and the rosette also , the distinguishing mark of a deputy , worn at tbe left buttonhole , tbey proceeded at a slow pace to the church . The whole of the way through which the representatives passed ,- —namely , the Pont de la Concorde , the Place de la Concorde , and the Hue de la Concorde , was lined with troops and National Guards alternately ; and of whom a considerable number were stationed
towards the Tailene * and tbe extremity of the Rue de Rivoli . From the Place de la Concorde to the Church of the Madeleine , to the right and left , extended a series of lofty pedestals , _supperting each ; a tripod , from wbich shot forth a sombre flame . i Similar pedestals were placed at each of the four ¦ angles of the Pont de la Concorde . The Place de la Concorde had special symbols ( Of mourning . From the centres of the four com-] _partments into which the place is divided sprang i into the air four lofty masts , —from which , but less t than half-way np , Seated , in sip of mourning , the c colours ofthe Republic , but * veiled with amounti ing crape .
The moment the representatives of the peopl : 1 had assumed their places ia the church an express c despatched to the Palais Elysee informed the Presi-* i dent of the Republic of the fact ; and in a few mo-1 ments tbe roll of carriage wheels and the trampling cof horses ' feet in the direction of the Rue St . Ho-1 nore , told that the only one whose presence was * j wanting to complete the assemblage was fast ap ; _jproachiai _* . The troops that lined the streets along 1 tithe Rne Faubourg St Honore and the _Ru * .

The vocal n _dtsSume „ tai music was of the highest merit ; and when the 2 * Deu m was chanted in full choir , accompanied by the whole of the instruments , above _ihich the solemn swell ofthe organ heaved forth billows of sound , the effect was truly electric The d _' ceil was not less striking . The mass of
recoup presentatives whose _sad-coloured raiment was relieved by the tricolour scarf-the glitter of the military uniforms—the speaking sadness of the widows and orphans of the victims of the revolution of Febraary gathered together round the cenotaph- — the gorgeous vestments of the Archbishop and bis assistant clergy ; the meek and venerable aspect of the pastor himself , whose eyes were filled with tears , as his thoughts wandered to the memory of his martyred predecessor—tbe thousand lights tbat blazed upon the high altar , the clouds of incense that floated on high as the light flame was fitfully emitted in an atmosphere ef perfume—the wailing sounds that filled the air as the memory of the dead was chanted , and then , the most glorious of all , the electric burst of triumphant sounds that seemed to
move the very pillars of the edifice , and to be repeated from the lofty roof—the thunder cf the artillery of the Invalides and the removal of the ensigns of mourning , and the simultaneous hoisting , full mast hieb , on all the public edifices , of the Republican flag—all presented a picture as dificult to describe as it would be to tell the feelings excited * The service lasted about two hours ; it began at ten o clock , and at twelve o ' clock the troops and National Guards , whose offices were required only during the service , were on their way to their respective quarters . About ten o ' clock a number of persons , from 400
to 500 , with four or five tricoloured flags , were seen coming from the Boulevard de Montmartre . They moved along by threes , and proceeded towards the Madeleine . On the flags were inscriptions , such as ' Vive la _RepubUque , '' Vive la Liberte , ' and on one was insoribed the words « _Les Yeuves et les Orphe _* lins de Fevrier . ' Around this last banner were congregated a number of well-dressed women and cliildren , all in deep mourning , and some _^ holding the cordons , formed of black crape , depending from the flag which was similarly veiled . As soon as they passed the Rue Lonis le Grand they were met by a Captain of the Staff , sent by tbe General of Brigade , from the corner of the Rue de la Pak ; he
demanded who they were , what they wanted , and whither they were proceeding ? The answer was that they wished to be present at the funeral service at the Madeleine , with the widows and orphans who accompanied thera ; but that if any abjection existed they would not persevere . The officer , with much courtesy , said that his orders were to prevent any groups from proceeding in that direction ; they must return , or remain where they were . They immediately fell back and separated ,. after uttering a cry or two of « Vive la * Re p ublic ' The body was composed , besides the widows and orphans
mentioned _, of the wounded of February . They were all of the better class of workmen , and were well dressed . There were several National Guards in uniform amongst them . Another body , bHt only amounting to abont thirty men , passed along the RueNeuve St . _Augustin . They had also a flag , which wa * borne by a tall black man dressed in militarv uniform , and wearing on his breast the decoration of the legion of Honour and the medal of July . These were the wonnded of July , 1830 . I believe tbey were allowed to pass , owing no doubt , to the _sTTiallness nf their number .
The Ultra-Democratic and Socialist journals of this morning publish their promised address to the people . The document , which is as follows , is signed by _fifty-eig ht members of that party in the Assembly , and by the editors of all their journals : — ' TO THB PfiOPI-E . 1 Citizens , —It is sow a year since the people , in possession of its sovereignty , proclaimed the Republic . The glorious anniversary consecrated by a decree , and become a national fete , will never be effaced from our memory . Our brothers have fallen to achieve the Republic ; let us piously preserve the remembrance of their civic virtues , of their
devotedness to the country ; and let us renounce for this time the religious idea of going collectively to deposit on tbe tombs of those martyrs our tribute of gratitude and of admiration . The enemies of the Republic will hypocritically celebrate this day . Let us give them no pretext in tbeir implacable hatred ; let us know how to resist all their provocations , and confide in the justice of our cause . The distress of commerce has produced frightful misery ; popular manifestations , even the most legitimate and the most pacific , wonld give a fresh occasion for
accusing the Republicans of this universal stagnation . Our resignation will serve to prove that the evil has other sources , and the government will be no longer able to conceal the _powerlessness of its system to re-establish public prosperity . Let us not render ourselves the accomplices of those odious falsehoods which throw on the people the responsibility of the misery wbich exists . Let us , in fine , show who are the friends of order , and who are its enemies . We beseech all Republicans to abstain from any solemn manifestation which may give an advantage to the enemies of the evolution . '
Great _Bakoukt . —On Sunday , a banquet attended by upwards of twelve hundred of the friends of the 'Repuhlique Democratique et Sociale , * took place in Paris . Ledru Rollin , Pierre Leroux , Lamennais , and all the principal members of the Mountain took part in the proceedings , which were characterised by unbounded enthusiasm , and the expressed determination of all present to struggle for the triumph ofthe 'Repuhlique Democratique et Sociale . '
MANIFESTATIONS IN THE DEPARTMENTS . ( From the Daily Neios . ) Tuesday . —Ths anniversary of the revolution has been the occasion of disorders in the provinces , intelligence of some of wbich bas arrived in Paris . The following appears in the Moniteur of this morning : — 'At _Clamecy 500 or 600 men paraied tbe town , preceded by drums and banners , crying ' Vive Raspail ! ' ' Vive le Montague " Vive la guillotine ! ' 'A bas les culottes ! ' 'A bas les tyrans ! ' and did not _discontinue their disorders until they learned that a detachment of troops had been sent for . At Toulouse the Prefect suspended two companies of the National Guard who had defended the bonnet rouge . At Auch , some of the National Guards , with their officers , paraded the to r-n , uttering unlawful cries , but were suspended
by the Prefect . At Dijon , the authorities seized some bullets recently cast , and powder . Tiro persons were arrested . At La Guillotiere the rioters had set up the lonnet rouge and the Prefect had ordered the municipal authorities to take it down . In the department of the Drome the makes having refused their assistance to remove this emblem of disorder , tbe Prefect , attended by some troops , bad effected it . At Carcassone tbe same thing occurred . At Narbonne the members of a club of the republique rouge insulted by an indecent' pasquinade' the President of the Republic . A similar outrage was _inflated on the lieutenant of the Herse National Guard , who is known as an energetic defender of order . Troops were sent into Narbonne , where more disorders were expected on the 25 th , but which were prevented by this demonstration .
The Infamous Government . —Itis stated that the President of the Republic , and the majority of the Ministers , have decided that the envoys sent to Paris by the Roman Republic shall not be received by tbe French government . —Times . No Amnesty . —The Committee of Justice has recommended the rejection of M . La Grange ' s proposition for a general amnesty . The Approaching State _TBiAis . —The Moniteur publishes a notice signed by M . Berenger , the president ofthe High Court of Justice , commanding that the trial of the authors and accomplices of the attack of the 15 th May shall take place at Bourges on tbe 7 th of March next , at ten o clock in the
morning . The Ruling Conspirators . ' — The Citizen D'Alton Shee who was arrested on the 30 th of January , and who has at length been set at liberty , has addressed the following letter , dated the 23 rd , to the' P / esse ' : — 'I was arrested on the morning of the 30 th ult . on a warrant from the Prefect of Police , under a charge of conspiracy tending to excite civil war , distribution of arras , & c . Yesterday , the 22 nd , I was set at liberty , in consequence ol . _tts . being

found that the charge was unfounded . As I have already . stated , the seizure and examination of * all my papers could not furnish the authorities with any document of a suspicious character . After twentyfour days' researches , they have not been able to produce a single witness , or to _discovei a single accomplice . The ministry have announced in the Chamber and in its journals the existenee of a Socialist plot , which had been thwarted by its energy and by the bravery of General Changarnier . The government set on foot a long and minute inquiry , aided by all the resources of arbitrary power . What
has resulted from it ? Three arrests and tbree liberations ; in a word—nothing . The representatives of the people will , in their turn , have a duty to perform . A committee haa under consideration a proposition for aa inquiry into the events of Jan . 29 ih . To-morrow , perhaps , the discussion will take plaee . Let not ths National Assembly be afraid to examine whether there was a conspiracy , and who are the guilty parties . To arrive at a knowledge of the truth , it will neither require preventive arrests nor difficult investigation ; it will only have to ' induce certain of its members to speak , and t he o t hers to listen . '
L . A . Blanqui has addressed a letter to the editor of the' Peuple , ' dated Donjon de Vincennes , ' on Monday , in which he states tbat on Sunday last , the last day allowed by law , he was served with a copy of the depositions taken against him , but he has not received a copy of the indictment on which he is to be tried . The consequence of such neglect , he adds , will be to render all defence impossible . The object of the prosecution , he says , is to enable the Royalists , while they are sacrificing in the name of the Republic its oldest defenders , to overthrow that same Republic against which they are conspiring in th _§ face of the country . It is understood , however , that the copy of the indictment , of the non-service of which Blanqui complains , was communicated to him on Monday night .
GERMANY . FRANKFORT . —After a leng debate tbe National Assembly voted , on the 20 th ultimo , the first and second sections of the law of election . They are as follows . — ' Every German of irreproachable character , who bas passed his twenty . fifth year , is an elector . Persons are excluded from the franchise wheu they stand under guardianship or trusteeship , when they are legally declared in a state of bankruptcy and insolvency , and when tbey are in the leceiptof relief from ' public or communal establishments , or when tbey havereceived such relief during the twelve months preceding the elections . The words ' irreproachable character' were voted by a majority' of 237 to 224 ; but , on the other hand the words' every independent German' were rejected by a majority of 422 to 21 .
. PRUSSIA . —Intelligence bas been received ofthe death of Prince Waldemar of Prussia , at Munster , where he had been residing for a long period , suffering from a painful disease , that left no hope of recovery . The young prince was present at all ths operations of the campaign against the Sikhs , under Lord Hardinge . The prince died at the age of 32 . He was a son of Prince William of Prussia , the uncle of the present king . Berlin . — The new deputies . had nearly all arrived to take their seats on the 25 th ult . The Dem 6 crats . it was believed , would _ propose M . Unruh as their candidate for the Presidency of the Second Chamber . -
AUSTRIA . —The Austrian Parliamentary Committee on Constitutional matters has finished its labours and sent ih its report , with a draught of the plan of the Constitution of the empire . That plan is very liberal , and almost democratic , and has a tendency to federal principles . The empire is to consist of ten ' crown lands , ' with a governor , an administration , and a Diet to each of them . The Diets are proposed to sit for two months in the year , and a general Diet is to assemble at Vienna . That general Diet is to consist of two houses or chambers ; tbe parliamentary duration of the Lower Chamber is fixed for a period of two years , and that of the Upper for six . The draught gives the Emperor the usual prerogative of executive power . Each province is to have a separate financial administration .
Vienna . — The Times correspondent states that the fortress of Komorn was completely sur * rounded on the 23 d ult . General Simunich , who conducted the siege , succeeded in cutting off a party of 2 , 000 Hungarians , who had sallied for a foray , though he could not capture them . As they cannot return to the fortress , they will most likely disperse . Nevertheless , there is little hope of a speedy surrender of the maiden fortress , for even the shutting ber up was a task which it has taken above two months to complete . The lessening of the garrison of Komorn raay indeed counterbalance many of its natural advantages . The fortress is extremely well provisioned , and its situation is such that the besieging batteries can take no effect on its battlements .
ENTRANCE OF THB RUSSIANS INTO TRANSYLVANIA . Vienna , Ffb . 21 . —No slieht commotion was created yesterday , by ths arrival of a courier from Transylvania , reportiug the defeat of Bern ' s army , and the occupation of Croustadt and Hermanstadt by Russian troops . 6 , 000 men entered the former place on the lst , aud 4 , 000 the latter on the 4 th ult . According to their own bulletins the Austrians give no quarter ! Accounts from . Pesth speak of sympathy manifested by the Jews for Kossuth ' s party . Sixty cartloads of forage aad military stores , provided by that people , were intercepted on tbeir road to Debrecsin , aud this subsequent to the edict published by Prince Windischgratz , levying a fine o 20 , 000 florins on all the Hebrew communes detected in making common cause with the Magyars .
ITALY . THE ROMAN REPUBLIC . The Roman clergy having refused to officiate at a Te Deum performed in St . Peter of the Vatican on the llth bit ., mass was celebrated by a military chaplain , assisted by soldiers bearing torches . Tbe representives ol the people were present . The President of the Roman Constituent read , at the sitting ofthe llthnlt ., a letter from M . Mamiani , tendering his resignation of the functions of representative ; wbich waB accepted by tbe Assembly . The Minister of War next communicated a despatch from the Prefect of Bologna , announcing that most
of the Swiss soldiers had adhered to the new convention he had signed with General Latour , and that they would continue to serve the Roman Republic . On the same day M . Armellini informed the Assembly that the Government Committee had accepted the mission confided to it , but demanded to be _assured by responsible Ministers . After some discussion the proposition of M . Armellini was acceded to by 77 votes . On the 12 th ult . M . Tornaboni moved , and the Assembly decreed , that Joseph Mazzini be invited to R me , and that the title of citizen be conferred on him . M . Sterbini next presented the following project of law : —
' 1 . The laws shall be made and justice rendered in the name of God and the people . All the laws and public acts are to be headed in that form . ' 2 . The flag of the Roman Republic shall be tricoloured ( Green , Red , and White ) , with an eagle in the centre . * 3 . All public functionaries , civil and military , are relieved from their oath to the government abolished . ' This decree was voted by acclamation . In the sitting of the Roman Constituent Assembly of the 13 th , the Minister Sterbini , in the name of
the Minister of Finance , presented a bill providing that all ecclesiastical property sball henceforward belong to the State , and that all alienation of the said property , whether real or moveable , shall be considered null and void . A project was moved by Deputy Tantini to the same effect , but directing also that proper provision should be made for the support of public worship , and that the estates ot the Church shah be granted to agriculturists upon a ground rent . The lst . and 3 rd . articles of the Ministerial measure were voted by urgency ; the remainder , with the counter project , _tvere sent to the Committees .
The Executive Committee had accredited M . Boni envoy to Switzerland , M . Torricelli to Sicily , and M . Feliciani to Piedmont . The Committee of the Constituent Assembly to which the proposition of M . Pianciani relative to the convocation of tbe Italian Constituent on the 10 th of March had beeit referred , had agreed to it , but suggested that the appeal be made to the existing government and notto the people , aud that the convocation of the Italian Constituent be postponed until the 15 th of March . The Constituent adopted the following resolution on the 14 th : — « The Roman republic recognises the public debt as national and inviolable . ' M . Bonaparte alone voted against it . .
The new coinage is to issue forthwith , with a helmeted head of Rome and the republic ' s arms . On the obverse , an eagle volant , civic wreatb . and consular fasces .

At Perugia , a popular rising took place , the object of whieh wfl 9 the demolition of the Dominican prison of the Holy Inquisition , the gates of which they fractured and burnt inthe square , the mob having seized and put under seal all the papers or documents of the concern . The National Guard , being called out , highly applauded what was done , and joined in the onslaught . AUSTRIAN INVASION OF THE ROMAN
STATES . Advices from Ferrara of the 18 th ult . state that the Austrians had passed the Po at several points , and that 10 , 000 had presented themselves before Ferrara . The governor of tha town sent to the general in command a deputation to demand explanationa The Austrian general rep lied that he demanded—1 . The delivery up of the murderers of the three Aus _. trian soldiers lately killed at Ferrara . 2 . The delivery up of the gate of the town . 3 . The destruction of all barricades . 4 . The _re-establisment of the arms of tbe Pope . 5 . The payment of 200 , 000 scudi in twenty-four hours . At the same tiros the general added that the end of the intervention was the putting do tvn the Roman republic .
The Patrie * ( Pans journal ) , after reporting the above intelli gence , adds that the Austrians were marching upon Rome . TUSCANY . —Registers have been opened in _eaah municipality to receive the names of volunteers for the national defence . A million of livres , to be raised on the state domains , are to be distributed to the ouvriers and their , families who shall have merited well of their country in the tvar of independence . By a decree of the 10 th ult ., the provisional government of Tuscany has abolished the tax on inns and ale-houses which used to be levied in the
territory of Lucca . By another decree , of the llth , an hospital for invalids is founded , and the Palazzo delta Crocetta is destined for the purpose . A third decree , of the 13 th , orders the _reorganisation of the civic guard , henceforward to be called National Guard , and names a commission for the purpose .

Another decree empowers the Discount Bank of Leghorn not to cash its bills till the 10 th of March next . A proclamation from the governor of Leghorn informs tbe inhabitants that a new dockyard is to be constructed for the purpose of affording work to the people .
On learning that the Grand Duke remained at St . Stephano , Sir Geo . Hamilton , the British Minister , and the other members of the corps dipomatique , joined him there . Three English ships-of-war remain in the roads of St . Stephano , and are placed at the disposal of tbe Grand Duke . It is reported that the Grand Duke has sent a formal request to the King of Sardinia for his assistance to upset the Provisional Government , and to replace him on his throne . By a decree of the 14 th ult ., the Provisional Government of Tuscany directs that Tuscany shall send thirty-seven deputies to Rome for the , Italian Constituent Assembly .
PROCLAMATION OF THE REPUBLIC IN _TUSCANY . A letter from Florence , of the 18 th ult ., announces that the Republic wa ? proclaimed there on that day , and a tree of liberty planted . The streets were filled by the population wearing the red cockade . The government had assumed the title of Pro * visional Cover ** cent ofthe Roman Republic in Tuscany . It is composed of Guerrazzi , Montanelli , and Zannetti , Commander of the National Guard . Mazzini had left Florence for Rome , iu order to effect a fusion of the two states .
The Provisional Government of Tuscany had resolved to despatch special commissioners to the provinces for the purpose of ' awakening the gene * rous sentiments of the nation , securing all the available ways and means , and facilitating the equipment ofthe National Guards and the enrolment of volunteers . ' The commissioners are to receive a monthly stipend of 200 Florentine lire . Their names are as follows : —Dr . Lorenzo Panattoni , Dr . Lorenzo Fabbrucci , M . Lemmi , M . Bartolommeo Trinci , Doctor Girolamo Cioni , and Captain Spinazzi . The following proclamation was published at Leghorn on the 19 th ult . : — ' TO THE FEOPLE .
' The Republic is proclaimed . The people are king . Wo to whomsoever would deprive you of the sceptre which you have purchased by so many tears , blood , and sublime efforts . People fulfil your glorious destinies . Rt fleet that Eame is your capital , and Italy your country . It was your right which gave you the empire , and it was God which consecrated it . Italy for ever I The Republic for ever ' —Leghorn , February 19 , 1849 . ' The Governor , CARLO PIGLI . '
VENICE . —By three decrees of the 9 th ult . of tbe Provisional Government of Venice—1 . The Assembly o f Deputies , convoked on the 3 rd of June , is dissolved . 2 . The new assembly is convoked for the 15 th ult . The popular irritation against the Swiss in Italy has attained a high degree at Venice . On the 29 th January the clubs of that city called on the government to expel all the Swiss , if within a month the Swiss troops had not quitted Naples , and if the measures taken against the Italian refugees by the federal council were not revoked .
NAPLES . —The Alba of Florence , under date of Gaeta , the 10 th ult ., says , ' A secret consistory has lately been held , at which tbe Holy Father and the Cardinals attended . It was decided to demand openly an armed intervention of Austria , France , Spain , and Naples , to the exclusion of Piedmont . The object of this intervention is to'restore the Pope .

THE CONGRESS ON THE AFFAIRS OF ITALY . It appears that the rumours afloat with respect to the determination of Austria to abide by the treaties of 1815 , are correct . Count Colloredo had several non-official interviews with Sir Henry Ellis and M . de Legrene , in which he informed them that he was in possession of full powers to take part in the name of Austria in the Conferences at Brussels , but tbat if the object of these conferences was in any way to liter the treaties of 1815 , it was almost useless to open the Congress , as Austria was firmly resolved to run the chances of war ra'hei than to
allow herself to be deprived of her Italian possessions , which were secured to her by the final act of Vienna . Count Colloredo therefore recommended to M . Lagrene to inform his government exactly of tbe true intentions of Austria , and to aak M . Drouyn de Lhuys for fresh instructions for the moment when the Congress would definitively meet . As regards England , Count Colloredo is now in London , for the purpose of delivering his credentials , as Minister Plenipotentiary at the Court of St . James ' s . He has undertaken to state verbally to Lord Palmerston the intentions of the Austrian Cabinet .
The more the question of the Brussels Congress is examined , with calmness and impartiality , the more clearly will one arrive at the conclusion that the conferences , especially after the recent turn affairs have taken in Central Italy , have become superfluous , and that the mediating ' Powers , so far from contributing by them to tbe union of Italy and the preservation of the peace of Europe , are only preparing for themselves the humiliation of a ridiculous failure . La Presse announces that the Congress at Brussels has been indefinitely adjourned ,. and that in consequence M- Lagrene , the Plenipotentiary appointed to represent the French Republic , had returned to Paris .
MARCH OF THE RUSSIANS-PROBABILITY OF A GENERAL WAR !!! The ' Assemblee Nationale' , of Tuesday , says : — ' The Bourse was alarmed to-day by the official news of the departure of the Russian Imperial Guard from St . Petersburg . That guard is composed of 52 , 000 select troops : they had not quitted St . Peterburgh since 1831 , the period of the great war against Poland . The imperial gnard has already arrived at Wilna , and on the lst of March will be on the extreme frontier . Where are all these immense forces going ?'
SPAIN . The International of Bayonne , of-the 20 th ult ., quotes a letter from Catalonia , stating that General Lersundi defeated on the 13 th , at _Recessens , the Progresista bands , commanded by Araetler , with the loss of ten killed and fifty prisoners . Among the latter were the Intendant Joaristi , the Cabecilla Molins , Moncbini , and six otber superior _officeis . Ametler , closly pursued by the Queen ' s troops , escaped into France . He was arrested at Soredeby the French authorities , and removed to Perpignan _, with thirty of his followers , under a strong escort .
