Fnawcz.—Nearly the whole of the late members of the National As- sembly, banished from France by the decree of the 10th instant, have now left the country. The Brussels journals have mentioned the arrival
there, on different days since the arrivals mentioned last week, of Duver- gier de Hauranne, Remusat, Lasteyrie, Madier de Montjau Girardin, Creton, Tourneaux, Esquires, St. Ferreol, Latrade, Noel Pariait, Pascal Duprat, Anthony Thouret, Charassin, and others not named. They say that four hundred refugees have passed into Belgium since the 2d of De- cember. M Michel of Bourges is said to have left Brussels for London; and M. Base has applied to the Belgian Government for leave to be in- scribed on the list of advocates at Liege. Eugene Sue has gone to the Lake of Geneva. Victor Hugo and Alexandre Dumas have written to say that if compelled to withdraw from Belgium they will reside at Ham- burg. Emile Girardin is said to purpose the publication at Brus- sels of his weekly Bien-4tre-Universel, suspended at Paris ; ceas- ing to touch on political topics. The latest reports in the London daily papers, whether founded on French or English information does not appear, affirni that General Leflo has arrived in Jersey, and that Generals Changarnier, Lamoriciere, and Bedeau, are daily expected there to reside. General Cavaignac wrote to the Minister of War, stating that at a moment when his companions are the objects of additional rigours, the new exceptions in his favour give rise to interpre- tations which he disavows, and that the aspect of the country during the last few days is sufficient to render exile supportable; he therefore de- mended to be placed on the retired list„—a position which thirty years' active service and eighteen campaigns entitle him to claim. His request was acceded to. A decree has placed General Ohangarnier, and one or two others of the military exiles, on the half-pay list of the disponabilities. But another decree has "erased from the army-list" the names of the military ex-Representatives, Charms, Cholat, Millotte, and Valentin.' This last act of power is said to have excited a secret ferment in the army. It is understood that some change has come over the President's mind about the further execution of the decrees of transportation to Cayenne, and that orders have been sent to Brest that no more ships shall depart thence with their living freights till further orders.
The general reception of the Constitution by the upper classes in Paris may be inferred from the common reports that Troplong, Baroche, Rou- her, and the others who nominally assisted in framing it, disclaim most of its provisions ; and say they are all the work of Louis Napoleon himsel4 or of Persigny, his most influential adviser and subservient tool. The list of Senators was announced "positively" for Wednesday; but it did not appear. The same difficulty still exists of getting " respectables " to enter it. Numberless anecdotes, indeed, show that the rebuffs given to the Usurpation are mut& more than tacit.
The Usurper is most diligent in attempts to propitiate the Legitimists. For instance' Wednesday last was made a day of black masses in mourn- ing over the fifty-ninth anniversary of the death of King Louis the Six- teenth,—an honour never paid to the memory of the "martyred King' even by " mon oncle" himself. On the other hand, the Paris corre- spondence is much filled with reports, most circumstantial, that the se- questration of the property of the Orleans family has been so seriously agitated in the Cabinet as to threaten its dissolution. The decree had already been drawn up, despite the entreaties of the President's cousins, the Princess 15lathilde and the Marchioness of Douglas ; and it was only withheld on the firm intimation of De Morny and four of his colleagues that they must resign rather than be parties to such an act. Stories are sliest that several attempts on M. Bonaparte's life have been made : one of them is said to have bean by the wife of an ex-Prefect in the Herault, who demanded redress for her husband, and not obtaining it drew a poniard and tried (unsuccessfully) to stab the supreme cause of her wrongs. The election campaign for the choice of the members of the Corps Le- gislatif has been opened by the Government already. M. de Momy has issued a circular to the Prefects, directing them to use their legitimate in- fluence in conquering the element of universal suffrage,—an element easy to gain over to a glorious name, unique in history ; indicating the sort of candidates whom the Government desires returned ; and stating that functionaries will not be eligible. Marshal Excelmans has organized a body under the name of the National Electoral Association, to operate on the election of the Corps Legislatif.
Spam.—The Spanish news indicates a popular fear that a coup d'etat of a despotic character is contemplated by the reigning powers at Madrid. The details of the military riots mentioned last week, with their severe ending, are muffled up or suspiciously glossed over. A decree has ap- peared in the Gazette for the more stringent regulation of the press ; making all periodicals that publish alarming news, or that censure official acts in a manner implying disrespect, subject to heavy penalties, of seizure and suppression, &c. On the 15th instant, the Clamor Public°, the Esperanza, and the Observador, were all seized.
HANOVER.—The Chamber, on the 16th, considered a motion to give Bothmar, the Hanoverian plenipotentiary at the Federal Diet, the most express instructions for supporting the maintenance of the constitution of 1898. Bothmar is one of the knights who protested against the abolition of the privileges of the equestrian order. The Ministers opposed the mo- tion, as a derogation of the prerogatives of the Crown in reference to its diplomatic representatives ; Stave supported the Ministers ; but the mo- tion was carried, by 38 to 34.
GERMAN DENMARK.—It is stated that the Schleswig-Holstein ques- tion has been settled between the Great Powers and Denmark, on these terms, which are called a triumph for Schleswig-Holstein-- " In Schleswig and Holstein, Provincial Estates. Schleswig not to be in- corporated in Denmark, or united with Holstein but the Eider Canal and some minor institutions will be in common for both duchies. A Holstein and a Schleswig Minister will represent the Home and Justice departments. Foreign Affairs Finance, (including Customs and Post-office,) the Army and the Navy, will'be in the hands of the Danish Ministers; who will be re- sponsible to the King and the Diet for Danish questions, but to the King alone for Duchy questions."
AIISTRIA.—It is reported from Vienna, that proposals are on foot for effecting in the foreign market a new Austrian loan!' Another report says, that a secret agent has been at Vienna from the President of the French, negotiating for a cession of the left Rhine bank ; and that Aus- tria declined to sanction any arrangement which should interrupt her good relations with any German power, but declared that the same con- siderations would not influence her in the case of an attempt by the French Government to "secure a greater amount of influence" iii Switzerland and Piedmont. The Vienna Gazette of the 15th instant contains an Imperial patent, dated the 11th instant, abolishing trial by jury throughout the empire.
Mir= Srares.—The latest news from New York extends to the 10th instant.
We now have detailed accounts of the reception given to Kossuth by the Executive and Legislative bodies at Washington. The first day of Koesuth's arrival he spent, as a private individual, with Mr. Daniel Web- ster, the Foreign Minister. Many members of Congress called on him during the afternoon, and he made a speech in reply to the respects paid to him by the Jackson Democratic Association. But the general popu- lation of the Federal capital was very little moved by the arrival of the Hungarian patriot A Washington resident writes—" Whether the blame rests on the weather or on the sluggishness of our population I know not, but certain it is that M. Kossuth's arrival has created no excitement here, and drawn forth no crowds." Kossuth's second day in Washington was marked by a strong debate in the House of Representatives, as to the mode of his reception by that body, which ended in adjournment without a decision. On that day be had an interview of an hour and a half vrith President Fillmore ; to which he was introduced by Mr. Seward "in an eloquent speech," but which was "otherwise private."
In reply to a flattering speech by Kossuth, President Fillmore said— "I am happy, Governor Kossuth, to welcome you to this land of freedom, and it gives me pleasure to congratulate you upon your release from a long confinement in Turkey and your lam arrival here. As an individual, I sym- pathized deeply with you in your brave struggle for the independence and freedom of your native land. The American people can never be indifferent to such a contest ; but our policy, as a nation, in this respect has been uni- form from the commencement of our Government; and my own views, as the chief executive magistrate of this nation, are fully and freely expressed In my recent message to Congress, to which you have been pleased to allnde. They are the same, whether speaking to Congress here or to the nations of Europe. Should your country be restored to independence and freedom, I should then wish you, as the greatest blessing you could enjoy, a restoration to your native land; but should that never happen, I can only repeat my welcome to you and your companions here, and pray that God's blessing may rest upon you wherever your lot may be cast."
Distinguished men continued to call on Kossuth on the succeeding days. On the 5th indent, he was introduced to the Senate by Mr. Shields, Mr. Seward, and General Cass. The Senate received him with silent respect; and adjourned, that the members might be introduced to him individually.
The accounts state that Kossuth had informed the Secretary of the In- terior, that "the opposition which he met from the Congress and the Executive convinced him that his mission has failed "- he was "deeply disappointed at the result of his mission at Washington," which was "wholly unexpected."
The House of Representatives gave him a public reception, at which he was received silently, but more cordially than at that of the Senate. On the 7th instant, a great "Congressional banquet" of three hundred persons, chiefly members of Congress, was given to him at the National Hotel. Kossuth made a "beautiful speech" ; in which former state- ments of the practical object of his mission were ambiguously qualified. " I hoped, and now hope, that the noble-minded people of the United States will feel induced to pronounce in time their vote upon the question of international law violated in the case of my country. I know, and Eu- rope knows, the immense weight of such a pronunciation from such a place. But never had I the impious wish to try to entangle this great Republic into difficulties inconsistent with its own welfare, its own security, its own interest. I rather repeatedly and earnestly declared, that a war on this ac- mount by your country is utterly impossible, and a mere phantom. But I said and say, that such a declaring of just principles would insure to the nations of Europe fair play in their struggle for freedom and independence, because the declaration of such a power as your Republic will be respected even where it should not be liked; and Europe's oppressed nations will feel cheered in resolution and doubled in strength, to maintain the decision of their American brethren on their own behalf with their own lives."
A great feature of the meeting was, that General Case, the Presidential mendidate of the Democratic, party, came out with a blazing profession of Kossuth's nonintervention doctrines. He was ready to do more than 'welcome Kossuth- "I am willing to lay down the great principles of national rights, and adhere to them. I am for the largest liberty to the largest number over the Whole face of the earth. The sun of heaven never shone on such a Govern- ment as this. And shall we sit blindfolded, our arms crossed, and say to tyranny, 'Prevail in every other region of the world' ? Every independent nation under Heaven has a right to establish just such a government as it pleases. And I am willing, as a member of Congress, to pass a declaration tomorrow, in the name of the American people, maintaining that sentiment. ram willing to make that declaration in the name of the American people ; and am willing to leave it, the very moment when it is necessary to act, to those who are to determine the course necessary to take, under proper times ,and circumstances, as the case may require." But the "puffy oratory" of General Cass is declared by moderate American writers to be not the least indication either of the influential opinion of his country or even of what would be the executive policy of a responsible Ministry of his own possible choice. There is no doubt that the Kossuth sympathy has been laid hold of by the Democratic party for electioneering purposes. Kossuth had set out on a tour to the other great cities of the Union— to Annapolis, Baltimore, Cincinnati, St. Louis, New Orleans, Charleston, Albany, Buffalo. He would return to New York, and start for England from Boston.
It is stated that despatches had been received in Washington by which the British Government disavowed the act of the commander of the ship Express, in firing over the United States steamer Prometheus, in the harbour of Greytown, Mosquito.
