BfBuda-Pestn / Of ilia impression which the news of this disaster made at Vienna we have the following account : — This corning Vienna presented an nnnsually excited ziid flurried app ? arance . Four battalions were despaired by railway to Pressbnrg . Among them was a hattalioa of R-fles . They were mere lads . There had been some mutiny among them . I understood they bad refused to march until the Emperor sent to say that they shon'd not be used ag ainst the enemy . At length they consented to do so , bat even then the scene was heartrending . The poor young fellaws moaned and wept aloud . They cried tfcat ' to march against the Hungarians was to go to death . The officers yielded less to their feel-Ings , ' imi they loo parted from their friends and relatioRs r-iih very evident signs of emotion , and then
hurriea the men off . Near the railroad there was a jJeiisc cro ^ d of curious spectators . Here again the young riflemen tarried and bemoaned their fate . They sa' -il . 'We are going to be shot ! ' and , addreasircs- the crowd , they cried— * Farewell for ever . We shall nevfr return '' The effieers intreated them in be quiet and resigned to their fate . They finuafttea at length , it is stated here that fiaynau Suds the difficulties of his march almost insupsraole . There are rumours of his having been forced to fall back upon Ketshkemet . His soldiers an sfcted to lave suffered more than anv army ever did . -Their march from Pesth -was a weary plodding ilifsugh the deep burning sand , The horses and tbe artillery couW scarcel y move along With the exception of Ketshkemet they did not find a single village . There were neither human creatures nor animals . The inhabitants , of those places had

wandered a » ay ; they had burnt their villages and rilled the wells with putrid carcases of men and animals . No water is to be . had , and the soldiers must drink the hot and corrupted water which General Haynau carries along with his army . They mix it with vinegar to make it drinkable . On their weary march they found , as yet , not a trace of the Hungarian army , and it is very doubtful whether that army will oppose them at Szsgedin . But if the Hungarians were to attack antl defeat General Haynau at Szegedin , the probability is that but few of the Imperialists would live to tell the fate of the battle , for the Landsturra would rise up in their rear and prevent their escape . '
The Kolner Zeifung' states , that so great was the terror of the garrison at Pressburg , that barricades were thrown , up to meet the first attack of the Hungar ians , who it was thought would come to Fressburg next . The general consternation was increased by the news of the occupation of Altenbitrg by the Hungarians , and of the defeat of General Pott ' s brigade , the remainder of which , had been driven back to Neutra . Whether the Hungarians who
occupied Raab were , indeed , part of the garrison of Comorn , is still a matter of doubt . The Vienna correspondent of the ' Kolner Zeitung' states , that the Hungarian General , Aulich , has left his position on the Plalten-lake , and that he has marched through the forest of Bakong and appeared at Raab . In other papers it is stated that it is Kiapka who thus scours the country ; but that General Aulich is marching up from the Platten-lake to join his troops with those of Kiapka .
Vienna papers and letters inform U 9 of the continued and painful interest felt at Vienna on the suhject of the late successes of the Hungarians . Tbe occupation of Raab is considered a terrible blow for the Austrians ; indeed , as the time wears on , the details of the loss which they suffered in that affair come to li g ht . AH the artillery at Aatsh and Motsha was taken hy the Hungarians , who tock four batteries to Comorn , and spiked the rest . One battalion of the Regiment Mazucchelli was captured , 40 , 000 f . wt . of copper mon ^ y , 50 000 umforras , and 100 , 000 cwt . of flour were taken at Raab , and at Gyoiio the Hungarians took five vessels loaded with corn and with seventeen cwt . of gunpowder . Near the city of Galanths trip . Hungarians intercepted a Russian transport with 30 , 000 regimentals .
The great losses which the Russian army has sustained in Hungary are strikingly attested by t !> e great quantities of military clothing , arms , and knapsacks , which are brought back to Cracow from the scene of action . On the 25 th ult ., according to a letter from Cracow in the Constitutionflies BlatansBeohmen , ' twenty waggons full of the effects of dead soldiers were brought up from Hungary into that city . .
MOST IMPORTANT !—REPORTED GREAT VICTORY OF THE HUNGARIANS . Paris , Tuesday . — ' La Presse ' states that a letter was received yesterday , by a member of the Commission of the Legislative Assembly , announcing tbat the great Russian army had been completely defeated by the Magyars . It was added that the Russian army of reserve was marching night anil day towards Podolia and Volhynia , which were uncovered by the defeat , and which provinces the Emperor Nicholas feared would be iuvaded by . the victorious Hnngarians .
Letters from Vienna of the 10 th would seem to confirm the above report they state that in the course of the day Prince Orloff arrived here from the head-quarters of Paskiewitcb . Rumours hecamp prevalent as soon as the Prinqp ' s arrival was known that Georgey had been defeated by the Russians , and a bulletin announefng the definitive t riumph was momentarily expected . In a short t ' me , however , it was ascertained that Orloff wa- < Uic me scngor , not of victory , but of defeat . Paskiewitch , it is cnfideutly st : it-d , has been entirely routed . No bulletin was pub ished , and at the time our despatches were sent off the details wens still unknown .
From the western theatre of war we learn that the defeat of the Austrians before Comorn was mo e » n ? l mo > e serious than was at first supposed . The Magyars a e swarming tlrough the whole ennn-ry , far and tvide . They already stand between Wieselburg and Hochtr . 'ss , have ocrupied £ z ? rdahely , in the Scluitt , and northwards by Nenliausel , have tliriwn a bridge over t ); e Neutra . A steamer , with tro ip * and ammunition , is said to have fallen into their hand ^ .
ITALY . PRTESTLT TYRANNY . —EXCITED STATE OF ROME . The ' Ginrnale di Roma * of the 1 st . announces the arrival there of Cardinals Delia Genga Sermattei , VarsniceUi-Casoni , and Altieri , whom his Holiness the Pope has named members of the Commission of Government . ROME , August 2 . —Rome has now de facto returned under the temporal dominion of the church , General Ondinot having formally resigned the provisional authority with which he was invented , and Cardinals Delia Genga Altieri , and Vauniwlli , having establisbed themselves in the Palazzo della
Consult a on the Qnirinal . These most eminent commissioners entered Rome on the night of the 31 st of July , in ordT not to risk an unfavourable reception from the populace by dav , having heard no doubt , that ( he Vicar-General , Cardinal Patrizz , had been Tremendously hissed on his first appearance in public . A proclamation was published yesterday , announcing the triumph of religion by means of the devotion of the Catholic powers , and abusing in the severest terms the * wretches' who had darf d to set
yp a republican form of government , but mentionine neither con $ titution , concessions , amnesty , nor , in fact , any of the points which chiefly interest the public . " Ministers (? he proclamation does not say whether secular or ecclesiastical ) will he named liy tbe commissioners for the direction of the various branches of internal administration , whilst the management of foreign affairs is exclusively reserved to the most eminent pro-secretary of state , Cardinal Antonelli , who , until he arrives in Rome , will perform the duties of his office by means of a
substitute . August 3 . —Rome is this morning in a state of the greatest excitement and discontent on account of the arbitrary edicts issued by the triumvirate of most eminent cardinals . That which is produc'ive of the most immediate effect on all classes of individuals is , the reduction of the value of republican bank notes , which are henceforth to be considered as bparinc only sixty-five per cent of their nominal value . " This measure has been combated as much as possible , not only by the Romans themselves , of whom a most respectable deputation waited on Gen .
Ondinot . and by the English , French , and o ^ hcr forricu hankers anrl merchants , who drew ud and signed a remonstrance on . the subject , but also by the French commander . in-chief himself , who , I am assured , strongly urged the necessity of abandoning , at tost for the present , the prosecution of such an impolitic and vindictive proceeding ; the more unjust as it was not announced immediately on the change of government , and as government employes and contractors have been paid subsequently in republican pappr , even up to the moment preceding the publication of the edict .
The decree was printed and ready for circulation yesterday , but Gen . Oudinot objected so fores lily to its emission that it was kept back , and a courier despatched to Gaeta . This morning the general himself embarked on a river steamer at Ripa Grande , whence in eig ht hours he will arrive at Gaeta , and speak with the Pope himself about the matter . His absence , however , has been tbe signal for the appearance of the disputed edict , and crowds of people are reading it and calculating their lossess , cursine , meanwhile , the cardinal commissioners and the whole Sacrer ! College into the bargain .
The priests sav that it has been a merciful thing to annex any value at all to the paper of such iniquitous ' wretches' as the republicans , and that it is infinitely more tban they deserve ; but whilst t ? iis diminution isjtriade . ft must be observed that no means are taken for abolishing the paper circulation and supplying it with coin ; on the contrary , a new emission oi papal notes is promised to replace the republican notes . It was hoped that notes under a certain value would not b ; diminished on account of the distress
it would produce amongst the poorer classes , but the unsparing hand of power has chastised all alike . Another edict , also published this morning , suspends from their offices all employes who have been appointed since the Pope ' s departure , cancels all promotions , and degrades all those who took an oath of fidelity to the republic ; reserving meanwhile a strict examination into the conduct of all government employes still remaining , in ordsrto decide whether they are worthy of being kept in their respective offices . The edict also formally re-establishes the judicial tribunals in vigour during papal juris diction . Imagine , what a chaos t Besides the ordinary courts of law and appeal , Rome boasts of no fewer than fourteen . exceptional tribunals , chiefly ecclesiastiral ! ¦ August 4 . —This morning public discontent las

. ^^ ties-n nut a Hule aggravated by the price of salt beiiig augmented from one bajocco a pound to three bajoiehi and four bajocchi a pound for the finer sort , besides a report , that the base money now in general circulation will be immediately reduce d to halt its nominal valus . These measures , which were not at all necessary , have excised tbe greatest detestation towards the new rulers , and are considered by the ecclesiastical parly itself to have been a great error . Cardinal Bernetti , who is one of . the cleverest men in tbe caored college , and who was certainly sufficiently despotic when in power as Secretary of S tate , refused to take any part in the present proceedings , and declared his intention not to come to Rom e just now , in order not to witness the blunders oi his colleagues , of which he expected that the fi « . t and the greatest , would be the annulling of the
paper money . Cardinal Antonelli is now the allpowerful Secretary of State . The tone of this man's mind may be judged of from an answer he is said to have made on being informed that the prisons of Rome were so full that they could receive no more inmates , and which I ' am assured by those-who are personally acquainted with the cardinal is perfectly in keep ing with his character : 'If you have no more dungeons unoccupied , ' said this churchman , « you have surely plenty of graves . ' The revelation of such a spirit of course exasperates tbe people very much , and a priest was yesterday insulted and knocked down by some men occupied in reading the obnoxious edict , amongst whom he pushed his way to get a sight of the tariff . Some French soldiers passing down the Corso at the time took no notice of the fray .
The attitude of the city was indeed so unquiet last night that the French thought fit to fill all the piazzas with troops ; artillery , with teams harnessed , was placed at the Piazza del Popolo , Trinita de Monti , and Piazza di Venezia , and other important points of the city , whilst very strong patrols of cavalry and infantry were sent out , an hour before dark , to perambulate the streets in every direction . These precautions , kept up during the whole night , prevented the occurrence of any actual tumult ; but the expression of public opinion cannot of course be crushed by military compression and this was givan way to very freely amongst the groups of discontented citizens .
The notary Gaggiotti , who took an inventory of the furniture of the Pontifical Palaces at Rome for the Republican government ; and M . Mazzachi , appointed by General Galletti chaplain to the Carabineer !; , had been arrested . Prince Gabrielli , to whom the Pope had offered the Ministry of War , had refused lo accept that post . Two persons , charged with the murder of Count Rossi , had been arrested at Leghorn , and given up to the . Roman authorities . In the Concordia ' ' of the 8 th there is a second proclamation of Mazzini , which , notwithstanding the strictest precautions , has been affixed to the walls of Rome . It is as follows : —
• Romans and fellow-citizens , —Your brethren of Lombardy—a land whose sons in 1848 gave the first signal of a victorious insurrection , by abstaining from the use of Austrian cigars , beseech you for assistance , and entreat you to reject the produce of France . May these words , Roman citizens , which have been echoed on other portions of the Italian soil , fall powerfully on your ears , and penetrate your souls with patriotic unanimity , that they may . ' remain a solemn testimony that , among usurpers anrl the oppressed , evtry bond , either moral , material , or economical , is henceforward destroyed , until . the common libertv should again be re-established .
' Refuse , then , m the most determined manner , the employment of the manufactured products , be they wities or books—indeed , everything which comes from France . Let there no longer be any commercial relations with that country ; and when her sons shall effer to you the various objects of their merchandise , point them to the graves of the Republican martyrs , and say to these avaricious men , 'Your bales are blood-stained—they , besides , come from the same land whence at the same time were brought the cannon which have killed our brothers , anil which have endeavoured to destroy our Republic . Corrupted by egotism and love of wealth ,
France is no longer of any importance . ' Yes , Romans , when the people of Paris shall have learned that the French ih ? had , upon heaps of- corpses , in tbe name of Papal Kin ? , been hoisted instead of the flag of God and the people , the security of France is assnled . Strike these avaricious calculators in their dearest interests . Show them that , sooner or later , crime will always cover its authors with misery and infamy . Let faith and constancy be our motto . God will hurry on the' fate of ihose who have trampled under foot the rights of humanity . For the Triumvirate , ' August , 1849 . 'Mazzini . '
The ' Milan Gazette . ' of the 5 th , officially announces the defeat of Garibaldi , near San Mariny , by the Austrian troops . Eight hundred of his men were made prisoners and transported to Rimini . No date is mentioned . The ' Piedmontese Gazette , ' of the 6 th , states from Rimini that Garibaldi ' s troops have been disbanded on the banks of San Marino ; part of his men having taken refuge in the mountains , and 720 of them having gone to Rimini to make their submission . Accounts from Rimini sfate that Garibaldi , after
having escaped from Cf zanatico , on board some fishing boats was attacked by some Austrian ships , and forced to take refuge at Magnavacca , near Commachio where they escaped into the forests , with which that part of the country abounds . Several of Garibaldi's fishing-boats were sunk , ' and great numbers of bis followers perished . Garibaldi himself was among those who escaped . Troops were immediately sent from Ferrara , who succeeded in taking some of Garibaldi ' s followers , and , among othes , the Abbe Hugo Bassi , and a captain of the name of L ^ franghi . Garibaldi is still in flight .
The « Coneordia' contains the following / intelligence frora Venice : — ' On the night of the 29 th ult . the . Venetians surprised a strong advanced post of the Austrians attacked it at the point of the bayonet , killed fifty men , disabled thirty-seven , and seized a large quantity of provisions . About the same time , a Venetian flotilla was escorting a large supply of provisions from the Ionian Islands , when it was attacked off the Venetian Gulf by the Imperial fleet , which , after a most obstinate conflict , was obliged to
take refuge at Trieste . The flotilla then triumphantly entered the lagoons , to the joy of the Venetians , who had already begun to suffer from want of provisions . At present flour , corn , wine , and fresh meat are plentiful The blockade by land is ( says the ' Concordia' ) as good as raised , the Austrians having considerably extended its limits , after their fruitless efforts of the 28 th , 29 th , and 30 th ult . In their retreat they have left a large quantity of projectiles behind them . '
Letters from Rome of the 7 th state that the agi tation produced in ihe city by the first acts of the pontifical commission was very great and was spreading to tbe provinces . The decree diminishing ie value of the paper money was so unpopular , that it was thought thai ,, if not recalled , it would produce disturbances . The French diplomatists have completely failed in obtaining terms from hU Holiness ; and the cardinals who surround him show a decided determination to carrv their vicrory to its utmost limits .
Accounts have been received from Bologns of the 8 th of August , which state that the Austrians have shot the priest Bassi , one of Garibaldi's followers , who was taken on' the previous -day . They have also shot M . Levraghi , one of Garibaldi ' s r-fficers , who was taken at the same time with the Abbe Bassi . The priest Bassi was a native of Bologna , and one of the most eloquent preachers of Italy . He was shot on the pretence that he had been taken with arms in his hands .: M . Levraghi was a native of Milan , and had been in the Austrian army . , He was therefore shot as a deserter . The executions took place on the morning of the 8 th inst . . ¦ ..
Garibaldi has not yet been taken . It is said that he has succeeded in again embarking , and that he has escaped to Cbiogga , and from that place to Venice .
SIGNATURE OF THE TREATY OF PEACE BETWEEN PIEDMONT AND AUSTRIA . SARDINIA . —The treaty of peace between Austr ia and Piedmont was signed on the 6 ihinst . at Milan .

A SCENE IS THE CHAMBER ^ ( The disgraceful scene that occurred in the Legislative Assembly yesterday is the topic of xomment and deserved reprobation from every portion of the press this morning . It is universally agreed that the act of M . Pierre Buonaparte is aggravated by the fact that M . Gastier , the member whom he treated so shamefully , is an old man of 72 , whose grey hairs should have saved him from aggression , even though
he had made use of the term ' imbecile , ' which he denies having applied to M . Pierre Buonaparte . Nor is the conduct of ^ M . Dupin free from blame in this matter , and free comments are made on his causing the aggrieved party , as well as the aggressor , to be placed separately in places of confinement , a measure very unlike justice in the case of M . Gasiier . The prime cause that gave rise to the affair , was the reading by M . Dariste of the article published by M . Sommier , on which was founded the demand to prosecute , This artiale was as follows : —
' Restoration of the Political Scaffold . — They have raised up the guillotine again , which had been thrown down with royalty by the people in February-the prelude lo the restoration of the throne by the restoration of the scaffold . They lean upon eachVther and walk together like twin brothers . The executioner was ever'the friend of the King , his best arid most useful servant . "When the red frock of the executioner was seen , people knew that the King could not be far off . The people knew this when he abolished the scaffold after abolishing the throne , [ t knew well that it was striking the Bccond head of the royal hydra ; and that it was tearing up the foundation of royalty . They have rebuilt this
foundation , solemnly and publicly in the midst of twenty thousand soldiers , escorts of honour , gardes du corps of the executioner , convoked to protect the august ceremony , the laying of the first stone of the monarchic edifice . Two heads have fallen under the bloody knife , which had been deprived of its royal functions hy the republicans of February—two guilty heads , indeed , but which were protected against death by the will of the sovereign people and the law of the constitution . Yes , the moderates ; that debonnair and kind party , wbich calls usred , has trodden under foot the work of the people and tbe constitution , in order to give itself the royal pleasure of causing two heads to fall upon the scaffold . They have
remained faithful to the good and healthy traditions of the monarchy . Way that blood never flow back upon them . May that horrible precedent never rise against them . And yet , how can they justify that cold cruelty , giving the lie to a great and holy revolution / in order to return to the executioner his knife and his prey ? What social necefsity can excuse tbis scandal of murder and blood , tbis homicide coldly accomplished and long premeditated in the silence of the passions and in tbe security of strength . Ever pitiless , these moderate guillotiners , whose revenge is accomplished l > y turns w-lfch the hatchet or the dagger , prevotal courts or courts martial ; these moderates who , deaf to the groans of the poor and
the oppressed , have never shed a tear except on the m ' sfortunes of the high , who danced on the warm bodies of those whom they had massacred , dare by changing parts and by leaving to history and to their consciences , to brand us , to defame us , republicans , as drinkers of blood ! We , who curse these abominable holocausts—these atrocious sacrifices , consummated in broad daylight , in the name of the law and of society ; we , who deny tbat society has a right to dispose of the life of a mart , seeing that it does not give that life , and that it would thereby take that which belongs not to it . We , who have always and everywhere demanded the abolition of the punishment of death—are we to be called drinkers of blood ?
But the purveyors of the guillotine are moderates , More than ever we congratulate ourselves on having nothing in common with these sinister and sanguinary moderates . Let them go and mount guard round the scaffold , the red Republicans are again ready to overthrow it . But what did the President of the Republic , that conspirator , that amnestied convict ; what did he when tbe heads of Lahr and Daix rolled oiv the scaffold ? The president lay reposing in slumber after the fatigues of the ball of the eve , in order to prepare for those of the ball of the morrow . He was dreaming of the GOO . OOOf . which the National Assembly has just granted htm for his menus plmsirs '
This production was dated Salins , the 24 th of March , and signed A . Sommier . Several parts of it were applauded by soraeof the members of the Left . It was immediately on the conclusion of the last paragraph / elating to the president , tbat the scene already mentioned occurred . Many versions are given of the affair ; suffice it to say that all at once a tumujt was heard on the left , just behind the ministerial benches , and then a most violent scene might be witnessed . The members all hurried round an elderly representative , who appeared in the utmost agitation , and on whom his friends were lavishing aid and consolation ; other members rushed from tbe right . The ushers ran up to stop the tumult , but the crowd had in a moment become so compact , that they were unable to effect their . object . A number of members were then seen
all struggling together—several of the left dashed over the seats to reach the scene of confusion—a large stick was handed down , but was seized by a member on its passage , and flung away—the whole ass . embly washy tbis time on foot—the confusion was of the most painful description—and the President put on his hat to intimate that the sitting was suspended . The struggle however went on , without any one at first seeming to know what it was all about , when , at the end of nearly ten minutes , the ushers and some of his friends succeeding in leading M . Pierre Buonaparte out of the chamber , the mem . bers of the dense crowd gradually unclosed their hold , and with disarranged dress , heated faces , and exasperated looks , withdrew to their places . The word . imbecile had been used , and M . Pierre Buonaparte had given a box 0 . 1 the ear to M . Gastier .
The President , acting on one of the articles of the regulations , ordered M . Pierre Buonaparte at once into custody ; hut , with a partiality which created great surprise , he ordered M . Gastier to be also arrested—the insulted as well as the insulter . This untoward incident terminated the discussion on the report above mentioned , and tbe authorisation was accorded by a large majority . After the close of the sitting , M . Dupin seems to have thought better of the manner in which he ought to have acted , for he ordered the release of M . Gastier from confinement , whilst M . Pierre remained in durance vile . He was let out also on Saturday . It seems that the council of state , to which was referred tbe matter of M . Lesseps , has passed a vote of blame against that functionary .
Paris , Sunday . — -The Assembly was prorogued yesterday , de faolo , without any ceremony . The honours of the last moments of the sitting were divided between M . Lagrange , who urged the injustice of keeping political prisoners on the pontoons , and M . Sameyra , whose interpellations on the state of siege were not listened to . A letter from Verdun states that 360 privates of the 4 th Hussars have been dismounted , and have been ordered to march on foot to Toulon , to be embarked for Algeria . This measure is supposed to have been adopted in consequence of these men having manifested extrttne democratic opinions . A letter from Strasbttrg states that a major of Artillery , in garrison inthat . tdwn , had been arrested and committed to the civil prison .
A Socialist , named Jeroy , was sentenced by the Court of Assize of Paris on Saturday last , to imprisonment for six months , for having sold a political song called « The Ball and the Guillotine . ' The penalty of death pronounced against Captain Kleber was commuted into that often years' imprisonment and degradation . Lieutenant and Mrs . Heald ( Lola Montez ) have arrived in Paris . The ' Journal des Debats' states that the indemnity of 75 , 000 , 000 due by Peidmont to Austria , has already been paid by the house of Rothschild , on account of the former Power .
Paris , Tuesday . —The President returned from his journey to'Havre last evening , no doubt highly disgusted with his trip . At the review of the Natwnal Guards the cries . of . « Viva Napoleon . ' « Yive

Ie President , ' were almost drowned . in % cries of Vive la Republique , " Vive la Constitution . ' The great event of the day , however , was the speech of the Mayor of Havre , which has given enormous offence 10 the friends of Louis Napoleon , and which is considered as a direct attack upon the imperial pretensions attributed to the President . M . Bertin said : — ' You have guaranteed to us that insurrections have no chance of success . We hope so . You will not suffer either that ony political party should ,: n ... M ...,.

attempt an impossible dynastic insurrection . Be the first regular founder of the French Republic . Let the love of France be your crown , and your glory will be immortal . Washington had no other , ant his memory will be eternal . Long live the President of the Republic ! ' The President was so angry that ( the * Debats' says , ) instead of the speech which he had prepared for the occasion , he only said a few extempore words in proposing prosperity to the town of Havre . .
M . Lizabe , one of the agents of the ex-Triuravir Mszzini , was arrested on Monday morning in Paris , at the residence of a lady who had concealed him . The ' Reforme was seized in Paris on Monday . RE-APPEARANCE OF THE ' REFORME . ' On Monday last the Refome' re-appeared , we extract the following from its leading article : — On the 13 th of June the ' R « forrae' fell , under the violence of the state of siege ; its offices were searched , seals were placed on its doors , its establishment was militarily pccupied , and for two months it has remained gajg ^ . d . We will not complain today of the savage maiiceuvres , accomplished in the middle of the night , after two successive
seizures , which ' ought to ' , have sufficed to the government as they secured its vengeance . Events have since proved to us the object . and bearing 01 these violent expeditions ; it was desired to turn to account the jonriiee of M . Changarnier , by crushing all the public liberties , and consequently it was nesary to silence all the free voices , and the journals of tbe revolution . We know that the royalist journals , which alone were able to spsak during the intermede of the police , have exhausted all calumnies to cause to weigh on us , . in the opinion and before the justice of the country , . the double res . ponsibility of a long organised plot and of a flagrant
revolt . Faithful 10 their custom of provocation and falsehood , and not having to dread the contradiction ef the proscribed , they have constructed a system of infamous accusations and burlesque calumnies , hoping tlius to poison the public mind , and excite its wrath against us . But whatever may be the ircpudence and cunning of these men , and although preventive justice has collected all their calumnies to form grounds for an accusation , whilst the . go * vernment itself has publicly sanctioned all the monstrous accusations , produced by vengeance and fear , the hour of discussion has at length arrived , and truth makes itself seen . What were the causes and
what the veritable signification of the acts , accomplished by the : republicans in th& . journee of the 13 th ? The constitution was violated in one of its essential articles by the expedition to , Rome ; the resolutions of the . Constituent were brutally disregarded : the government of the republic betrayed both , the fundamental law and its engagements . Well ! in this fearful crisis what did the press of the revolution ? It called public opinion to the succour of the institutions ; it engaged all devoted citizens to make a pacific but powerful protest against the impious war which dishonoured France by the assassination of a people ; and the citizens of Paris assembled in a phalanx , but without arms , at that
demonstration . It was then that with all the fury of his hatred and resentment the General Capta i n Changarnier intervened . This man of war had one hundred thousand ' soldiers under his hand , all his measures of defence were taken , all his forc ? s distributed , ' all his stcitegie points guarded and connected . There was therefore no reason to fear a 15 th May , or a battle of June , or an armed attack of any kind in the capital surrounded with bayonets , and as full of military posts as an enemy ' s town ; but the policy of the government and the glory of the great captain require tbat there should be a victory . Accordingl y M . Changarnier threw himself on the crowd without arms , which protested pacifically ,
in the name of national honour and violated contracts . - The column was dispersed by . chargers / ' officaine , and the rumour of" these acts of violence having spread like flame favoured b y the wind , some deputies , who were menaced by them , proceeded to the Arts et Metiers , accompanied by a feeble escort , to seek shelter against such savage fury . The judicial investigation will soon do justice on all the fables invented apres coup , with respect to this grand attentatt as it is now called in policp language . We are without fear in this respect , and public opinion will see by the facts on what party its disdain and resentment should fall . Such are the principal facts and causes of the journee of June
and if our reader swill examine the results and the conseqaences , they will understand why the ^ ovirnraent has displayed so much passion to falsif y , aggravated and transform them into . state , crimes . Has it not behind this victory , and by means of the state of siege suppressed the clubs , suspended the ri g ht of meeting , enchained the press , decimated the Assembly , proscribed the chiefs of a party , and within eighteen months after February founded a dictatorship ^ which , by court-martial , renders it enemies subject to the executioner ? Was it not under the shade of these easily gained laurels that
it was able to bring to a favourable conclusion tbe attempted assassination of the Roman republic to succeed in the last elections of Paris , and to group at the feet of J ; the presidency a majority which , at its desire , attacks all the public liberties ? In this rapid expose we have only noticed the principal points of the accusation "; for the details we await the marvels of the judicial investi gation ; but as to the principal facts , we affirm that the plot of 13 th June is wholly in the pacific demonstration , and that no other attentat was comraittied than the charges of M . Cbangarnier .
The ' Droit' states that the responsible editor of the' Reforme , ' . which was seized yesterday , is to be prosecuted for its article on the affair of the 13 th of June , for having rendered himself guilty of the double offence of exciting hatred and contempt for the government of the republic , and justifying acts which are designated as crimes by the penal law . The first number of the * Bibliotheque des Enfans du Peuple' has been seized , nnder a charge , of provocation given to the land and sea forces for the purpose of turning them away from the obedience which they owe to their chief .
M . Roubillard , the editor of the ' Revolution Democratique et Sociale , was sentenced by default bv the Assize Court of Paris , on Monday , to imprison ' - ment for three years , and to pay a fine of JEGOOO for having on the 10 th of May published a libel ou the President of the republic . Two Socialist papfirs , ' Eclair , ' of Pau , and the « Republicain du Gard , ' have been acquitted by a jury of a charge of sedition instituted , against them by the Attorney-General . GERMANY .
MORE PATRIOTS MURDERED BY THE ROYAL TiRROMSTS . The Karlsruhe Zeitung' of the 7 th announces the condemnation by ' court-martial and the execution of some of the leaders of the Baden insurrection , The murdered patriots are —Corvia Wierbilzki Major Biedenfeld , a Baden officer on half-pay ; and Elsenhaus , a Radical writer and editor of the ' Rastadt Siege Gazette . ' We learn from the Serman papers that the insurgent chiefs , Neff and Tiedemann , were executed at Rastadt on the 10 th and 11 th inst .
HEIDELBERG , August 6 . - The workmen ' s clubs have been just suppressed , not only here , but throughout the Grand Duchy . They were const , dered equally dangerous , to the existing order of things as the people ' s club , and have consequently shared the same fate . ' STUTTGARDT August , 10 .-The court-martial at Rastadt is proceeding fast with its judgments . Yesterday young Neft , formerly Struve's head cashier , and Major von Biedenfeld , who took upon him the command of the mutinous third regiment of foot , were shot . ¦ ' ¦ •' ..
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . HAMBURG . August 11 . —I have just received notice of serious disturbances which broke out in the town of Flensburg on the 9 th inst ., and which are the more remarkable as this has been hitherto the only town in which some sympathy with Denmark was evinced , and which was under this pretext left on tbe north of the line of demarcation . On the 9 th a Danish war-steamer arrived at Flensburg bringing several Danish officers who were to enter
into negotiations with General Prittwitz . As soon as they lauded an ex-empfoye of Denmark , hoisted the Danish flag , and as soon as this was observed by the people , great crowds began to assemble . hey broke into : the house , and before the ' authorities could interfere they destroyed everything in it . The Danish officers appeared on the streets in the after , noon , and one of them appears to have been so incautious as to irritate the people by some insultine expressions The consequence w « that the pop «

UNITED STATES . New York , July 31 . —The cholera continues its ravages amongst us , and is apparently on the in . crease in this city- On Monday the cases were 189 , the deaths 81 . The greatest anxiety prevails with regard to it . As yet few people of note have fallen victims , these b ? ing generally of the class of emigrants , and Irish in particular . The poor miserables fly from famine and death in their own countries only to find graves here . The political world is quiet at present . It is supposed Mr . Benton intends , if possible , to be the antislavery candidate for the presidency , irrespective of parties . , From Cuba we learn that the cholera had broken
out at San Jago , and the yellow fever was raging terribly at Havana . Apropos to this , I have to state that our government is likelv to have some difficulty with the Captain-General . A few weeks ago , a refugee from Havana arrived at New Orleans . His offence consisted in having liberated from prison two political offenders . This person , \ i has been satisfactorily ascertained , was made drunk , or was drugged through the means of the Spanish consul , put on hoard a schooner ( an American , I am sorry to say , ) and carried back to Havana , where he will be put to death . The circumstantial evidence against the consul is strong : he has been arrested , held to bail , and will be tried for kidnapping . The people oF New Orleans are in a state of fury at the
occurrence , and do not hesitate to ascribe to the same influence the death of another exile in ' tbat city who was obnoxious to the Spanish captain-general . Loud demands for reparation are made , the immediate action of the American government is invoked , and a rquadron is called for , to proceed to Cuba , to demand the liberation of the unfortunate captive . I have no doubt something will be done . - Popular sentiment requires it , and . though the policy of Gen . Taylor Is that of non-intervention , it may suit the temper of the times to make an hostile demonstra * tion on the island . The capture of the Moro castle under any plea , would be the signal for an island insurrection , and after that there is no knowing what might happen ! All the Havanese who come to the United States are in favour of throwing off the oppresive yoke of Spain .
