Fnafrcz.—The French papers are occupied chiefly with the Roman news. It is understood that General &ideals has been sent to Rome, with a command to be assumed or not at discretion, but not with a commission to supersede General Oudinot at all events. On the afternoon of Tuesday, M. Odilon Barrot announced to the Assembly the receipt of the telegra- phic news that the Roman Assembly had resolved to cease the defence. This announcement was received by the Assembly with solemn silence.

Irszr.—The Italian news is important, but of no bulk. It is corn- raised in a telegraphic report from M. de Courcelles, at Civita Vecchia, to the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, which was read in the Assembly by M. Odilon Barrot on Tuesday—

On the 80th of June, the Roman Constituent Assembly passed a decree in the following terms—' The Assembly ceases a defence, which has become impossible, and remains at its post. It charges the Triumvirate with the execution of the present decree. At the same time, the Commander-in-chief of the Boman army demanded, at seven o'clock, a suspension of hostilities, and announced the speedy arrival at the French head-quarters of a deputation of the Municipality of Rome.' " Nothing later, nor fuller in the details of what occurred on the 30th, has been received. It would appear that the attack on the wall proceeded regularly to the 26th; another bastion had then been breached; and the lodgment made on the night of the 21st was rendered secure and converted into a point of attack; guns had been placed in battery, and the flanking fire of the enemy silenced. It was supposed that a breach in the second wall would be practicable on the night of the 30th; and possibly the preparations for an assault on that day led to the resolution of the Roman Constituent Assembly to succumb. A correspondence between the English, Prussian, and other Consuls in Rome, and General Oudinot, on the subject of the bombardment of the city, is published. The Consuls remonstrated against the injury done to innocent women and children and neutral residents; and hoped, in the name of humanity and the civilized world, that General Oudinot would save from destruction the monumental city, which should ever be consi- dered as placed under the moral protection of all civilized people. Oudi- not replied, that his instructions left him no option. It seems that M. de Conrcelles had sent home letters denying the fact of the bombardment, which General Oudinot justified and did not deny.

Atraznia.—The position of the hostile armies on the Waag and Danube is materially changed. The engagements last week mentioned seem to have been more disadvantageous to the Magyars than was at first clear. In the battle of Pered, the Hungarians, commanded by Georgey in person, were about 30,000 strong, with 80 pieces of cannon. On the side of the Austrians, the whole corps of Wohlgemuth, the brigade of Pott, and a corps of 10,000 Russian auxiliaries under Panjutine, were brought into action. The engagement lasted from five in the morning till eight in the evening. It began favourably for the Hungarians, but the continued reinforcements which their enemy received turned the scale. The Imperialists succeeded in retaining Pered against all Georgey's attacks, and at last obliged him to withdraw his whole force over the Waag bridges at Farkase and Negyed; which he destroyed. The loss was great in killed and wounded on each side—several thousands, it is said. The Russians lost a Colonel and four other officers, and the Austrians a Major. On the 27th June, the Imperial army pressed forward to the number of 80,000 on the rear of Georgey's retiring force; and on the 28th the town of Raab was entered by the Emperor in person, at the head of the Austrian vanguard. The first accounts spoke of fighting and great mutual slaugh- ter before the occupation of Raab by the Austrians; but it now seems rather to have been evacuated by Georgey, as a part of his tactical move- ments, the nature of which is yet to be developed. Perczel has been worsted in some late encounters with the Ban Jella- chich; but he has since joined Bon with a considerable force.

GERMANY.—The announcement of the surrender of Rastadt, contained in our latest edition of last week, turns out to have been untrue. The fortress is still in the possession of a large body of the insurgents, and is well able to stand a hard siege. It is said that Mieroslawski arrived at Bale on the 2d instant, with his staff, and passed on immediately to Limb- fall in the Canton of Bale Campagne.

Frankfort letters of the 2d mention that the Archduke had left Frank- fort with his family for the baths of Gastein. The Minister of War was to countersign anything: so that the Archduke had not resigned the Regency.

One hundred and fifty members of the late Frankfort Assembly—the mass of the Centre party, including Gagern, Soiron, Beckeratb, Dahlman, and Vincke—have met at Gotha, in private and unofficial sitting, to de- liberate on the most practical plan for realizing German unity. After three days' deliberation, on the 29th of June, it was resolved, by one hun- dred and thirty members, first, to contribute with their utmost endeavour to the adhesion of those States which have as yet held off to the ect of constitution prepared at Berlin; and secondly, to participate in the elections for the next Reichstag.

UNITED STATES AND CANADA.—The Europa steam-ship arrived at Liverpool on Sunday, in ten days and a half from New York. The Ame- rican news continues scanty. Mr. James Polk, the former Democratic President, died early in June, at Nashville, Tenessee, of chronic diar- rhasa. More gold had arrived in the States, from California—nearly 1,000,000 dollars worth was landed at New Orleans on the 11th June, by the Crescent City; and more was on the road both to the States and to England. The California steamer arrived at Panama on the 21st May, with nearly a million dollars worth for the States; and the Tay steamer left Panama on the 10th May, with 100,000 dollars worth, for Southamp- ton. Canada was quiet on the 17th June. " The Governor-General of Canada had issued his proclamation, reviving for six months, from the 8th instant, the provisions of ' the act for the preservation of the public health in certain emergencies,' and had organized a central board of health under its enactment, with Dr. Wolfred Nelson as its President." Great fires were ravaging the woods in Nova Scotia and New Bram- wick on the 19th June. The city of St. John was so full of smoke that the sun was almost invisible, and the courts were obliged to adjourn in

consequence of the grey darkness. Vessels could not move in the har- bour of Frederickton. The want of Ainesnua news is more than supplied by the narrative which the Europa brigs of a calamity caused by herself on her way home. On the afternoon of tie 27th Jane, in lat. 50. 49 N. long. 29 IV., during a dense fog, she ran iown and totally sunk the American bark Charles Bartlett, with 163 iassengers and a crew of 14; all of whom except 43 persons perished. Captain William Bartlett, commander of the lost ship, gives the follow- ing account of the fearful disaster.

Had fine weather, with light Easterly winds, up to the 19th. From that time to the 27th bad S.W. and W. winds, and foggy weather. At noon it cleared up a little; all well on board, and everything looking prosperous. Soon after noon a dense fog set in, wind W. by S., ship heading to the N. W.; close hauled, all sail set. At three o'clock ordered a good look-out from the topgallant forecastle; also directed the man at the wheel to look sharp to windward. At 3.30 p.m., being on the weather side of the poop deck, heard a rumbling to windward like distant thunder; turned my ear to windward and my eye to the horizon. The man at the wheel noticing that I was listening, looked to windward, and cried out Sail, ho!' I at once saw what I supposed was a ship about one point forward of our beam, about 400 yards distant. I ordered the helm up, thinking if she did not discover us that we should have time to clear her before she could come into contact. All hands shouted at the same time to alarm the ship; and I ordered the bell to be rung, and called to the ship to 'port her helm,' as I saw that was the only chance of escape. There were nearly one hundred passengers on deck at the time. All was of no use, for in one minute from the time we saw the ship she was upon us, going at the rate of twelve knots, striking us abreast of the after main shrouds. The crash and the terrible scene that ensued I am not adequate to describe. I was knocked to leeward with the man at the wheel. I recovered myself in a moment, shouting for every person to cling to the steamer as their only hope ; I caught hold of a broken chain on the bow, and hauled myself up, shouting at the same time to the Crew and passengers to follow. I had barely time to get on the steamer's bow; and while getting up, I noticed that her bow was into the ship within a foot of the after-hatch, and that she was stove clear to the lee side, and that full twenty feet of her side was stove in. There must have been nearly fifty persons killed by the collision. Every exertion was made by Captain Lott, his officers and crew, and the passengers on board the steamer. The boats were lowered as soon as possible. Unfortunately, only about ten were saved by the boats; the balance, making thirty-three, (more or less,) saved themselves by hanging to the bow. The steamer lay by the scene as long as there was any hope of saving any lives.

. . I will notice that all due exertion was used by Captain Lott, and officers and crew of the Europa, as well as all the passengers. I particularly observed one passenger using the most noble exertions. 1 saw him let himself overboard, and clench a man in his arms, and, finding him dead, let him go. I next saw him on the bow of a boat, hauling a man from under water with a boat-hook, who was afterwards restored to life on board. I afterwards found that person to be Captain 11. B. Forbes, of Boston.

The log-book of the Europa has this entry—

"At 3.30 dense fog ; could not see farther than the ship's length ahead. A sail was reported by the look-out ahead. The helm was put hard-a-port, and the engine stopped; but before we could clear we struck her between the main and mien rigging, and in about four minutes from the time she was first seen she went down. Boats were immediately down In sinking, she took away our head-knees and foretopmast: the boats pulled round the pieces of the wreck until satisfied no more lives could be saved. At 4, thick weather. At 4.30, set on the engines."

A committee of the cabin-passengers of the Europa investigated the case very closely, and drew up a report containing these passages-

" It appears from the evidence tendered, that the officers and look-outs were at their posts ; and the committee are satisfied that all proper vigilance and activity were used, in this sudden emergency, on the part of the steamer. The under- signed having weighed all the circumstances of this painful and unparalleled dis- aster, whereby about 136 souls found an untimely grave, feel bound to report that no blame can be attached to either party."

The same committee ascertained the names, residences, destinations, and immediate requirements of the persons saved, and originated a subscription on their behalf, which had reached 3521. 5s. before the arrival at Liverpool. The emigrants saved seem to be generally poor artisans, with little savings of money varying from 21. 5s. to nearly 1001.—all totally lost by the wreck. One person of the better sort is put down as a loser of " wife, family of children, and all his property, about 8001."
