Fncstoz.-The National Assembly is fairly installed in Paris, and ap- pears to be going through its preliminary routine affairs with the order of a regular Parliament.

Pierre Leroux, Communist

D'Alton Sate Horace Say Ney de Is Moskowa Huber Eugene Sue Considerant, Communist Dupetit-Thouars Lagrange Larochejaquelin ........ , Emile de Girardin

Among the men of note chosen in the provinces, are M. Dupin, M. de Tocqueville, M. Berryer, M. Leon sFaucher, M. Mauguin, M. Billault, M. Devergier de Elauranne, M. Lucien Murat son of the late King of Naples, the Bishop of Quimper, and the Bishop of Orleans.

At the head of the rejected names is that of M. Thiers; who seems, un- fortunately, to have been put up as a candidate only initis own department of the Mouths of the Rhone. The Mayor of Marseilles obtained 62,322 votes, mad was followed by M, de Lansartine, and M. Berryer: the quay porter, Astouin, obtained 32,599 votes: M. Thiers, with only 19,696 votes, Om* but aiitteenth on the list, the Deputies of the department being but ten. Emile de Girardin has been rejected at Bourganeuf—to make room, he declares, for a Commissary of II. Ledru-Rollin. Relies somereveugein the rejection of M. Learn-Rollin himself in the department of the Sarthe: in his own' town. of Mans, the last of the successful Deputies obtained 3,406 votes against IL RollhOs 479. At Lyons, -M.Smanuel Arago, the Com- missary of finance ordinance notoriety, was rejected.

Great numbers of double and multiple returns have occurred. IL de Lamartine is returned for nine places—Paris, Dijon, Rouen, Marseilles, Bordeaux, Macon, and three other places. II:Dupont de l'Eure has been elected at Paris and Evreux; M. Ledru-Rollin at Paris and Macon; IL Co Benin et Paris and Laval; M. Marrast at Paris, Pau,and Mont de Ma- san; M. Arago at Paris and Perpignan; M. Aylies at Alenpon and Anch; M.,Bastide at Paris, Idelun, and Macon; M. Cremieux at Paris and Tours; Pagnerremt Paris and Versailles; M. Marie .at Paris and Auxerre. Generally speaking, the "Moderate " Republican party has gained a marked ascendancy in the elections • but every party and sect has representatives. In Paris,- the celebrated Protestant Pastor Coc,querel obtained nearly twice the votes of the famous Abbe Lacordaire, and more than twice those of the nepalar Abhe Duguerre of St. Roch.

The P.rovisional Government issued the following decree regulating the mode of proceeding for the provisional constitution, the permanent con- stitution of the Assembly, and the verification of the powers accorded to the members.

"in the name,of the French People, the Provisional Government decrees— "Article 1. On May 4, at twelve o'clock, the Representatives of the People willassemble in the Hall of Sittings, at the Palace of the National Assembly.

"2. At one-o'clock precisely, the members of the Provitnonal Government and the Ministers will enter the hail.

"3. The President of the Provisional Government will deliver an address -to the Representatives of the People. He will aftffWeene call to the Provisional Bureau—first, the senior member in age, as President; secondly, the six youngest members to act as Secretaries.

" 4. The Assembly, being thus provisionally constituted, shall be required by the President to retire in Committees for the verification of the returns.

"5. The Assembly will be divided in eighteen Committees, each committee' being composed of fifty members; taken from, the general list successively in

alphabetical order of the departments-by which they were elected'. 'M. Each Committee will be charged with verifying .50 returns ; so that the eighteen Committees shall examine the 900 returns.

"7. The returns submitted to each:Committee will be divided by departments, in alphabetical order, so that no Committee shall have to decide upon any elections within the departments in which its members have been nominated. "8. If, by double or manifold elections, some Representatives form part of a Committee called upon to decide upon their returns, the Committee shall decide' without their participation inthe vote.

" 9..lf the distribution of the returns by departments shall reduce to less than fifty, or earryto more than fifty, the elections to be -verified in the Committees, these Committees shall verify the number of returns that shall be referred to them.

"10. Each proees-verbal of an election will be examined. by a Committee of three members, chosen by each bureau by ballot. "11. At three o'clock the sitting will be resumed. The uncontested elections mill he immediately submitted to the Assembly by a reporter, to be named by each Committee. The elections which shall give rise to discussion shall be re ported after the definitive constitution of the Assembly. "12. The Assembly will decide upon the validity of the elections; and the Pre- sident proclaim to be Representatives of the People those whose returns shall be deolared.valid. "13. When the Representatives of the People proclaimed by the President shall amount to 600 at least, if there shall remain no more reports of returns to be immediately made as uncontested, the Assembly, composed of Representatives whose returns have been verified, will proceed to the election of a President.

" 14. For -this purpose, the President will draw by lot nine sections- of scruti- neers, each composed of three members. Each Representative will write his vote on a bulletin, and one of the Secretaries will call on the names. The Re- presentative called will receive from one of the members of the bureau a ball of' control; 'he will place his bulletin in the urn on the tribune, and the ball in another urn on the bureau of the Secretaries.

"15. The Secretaries will ascertain the number of billetins, and check this number by the balls. They will then divide the bulletins in nine baskets, and each section of scrutineers will receive one. The - scrutineers will examine the votes on each section, and transmit the result to the first section, which will take the general account of the votes.

"16. All the operations will take place in public sitting; the result will be transmitted to the President, who will proclaim it. " 17. If. any Representative of the People do not obtain 450 votes, a second ballot-must be bad recourseto.

"18. The Representative who shall have obtained the greatest number of -votes shall be proclaimed President. " 19. TheAssembly shall then appoint by ballot six Vice-Presidents, six Secre- taries, and three Quiestors. "20. In case of an equality of votes, the.preference shall be-given to.the eldest. "21. The President, Vice-Presidents, and Secretaries are named for one month, and the Questors for the whole duration of the session.

"22. The Provisional President will proclaim successively the -names of the persons elected. When this is done, he will call to the chair the definitive Presi- dent; who, in his turn, will call to their.places the members of the definitive bureau-

"23. The 'Presidentmill rise and pronounce the following words—' Represen- tatives of the People, in the name of the Republic one and indivisible, the National Assembly is definitively constituted. Vive la Republique!'

"24. The President of the Provisional Government will then ask to be beard. He will, in-a speech, give an account of the .situation of the state on the 24th of February,- and of its present situation. In the name of the Government, he will resign into the hands of the Representatives of the People the powers which the acclamations of the people had conferred on it.

" 25. Each Minister will give an account of the, acts of his Ministry up to the day of the meeting of the Assembly."

The Government, or rather M. Ledrn-Rollin, had issued a sumptuary decree, ordaining that-

" The Representatives of the People shall wear a blackcoatra white waistcoat with lappets, black pantaloons, and a tricoloured silk scarf, ornamented with gold fringe. They shall attach to- the buttonhole on the left side of their Coat a red riband, on.which shall be embroidered the fasces of the Republic."

Before the meeting of the Assembly, the Provisional Government fixed upon their seats; and the correspondent of a morning paper notices a re- markable fact— "M. Lamartine, DL Gamier Pages, M. Marrast, and the other members, have placed their names on seats close to each other on the one side of the Home. while the names of M. Ledru-Rollin, M. Louis Blanc, M. Albert, and II. Flom', are placed on the same bench on the Opposition side of the House."

Although only about two-thirds of the returns had been received, osse National Assembly was opened, as appointed, on Thursday the 4th May, The ball of meeting-is a temporary wooden structure, externally of a very rough kind. It is 39 metres in length, by 27 in breadth [about 1,47 feet by 102 feet Eitglish measure], there are ten rows of benches up the sides and at the upper end, with banks, and a small panel before each seat by way of desk. The.galleries for the public, including one for ladies, would hold four or five _hundred persons; in all, the building would contain about 1,600 or 1,700 persons. The Pnovisional-Government went in procession from the hotel of the Minister of Justice; the whole route being lined with Na- tional Guards, Moveable Guards, and troops of the Line; National Guards and troops also escorted the members of theGovernment. M. de Lamartine and M. Marrast were singled out for the heartiest cheers. The sound of cannon added to the-effect of the scene.

In the Assembly it was remarked, that hardly one Representative wore the regulation-costume, except the members of the Government; who kept their coats -buttoned, as-if to conceal their singular obedience to M. Ledru- Rollin's ordinance. " On the other hand, the condemned cross of the Le- gion of 'Honour was freely exhibited. In fact, the Assembly was like every other meeting which is composed of staid, respectable men, showing the -usual sprinkling of bald heads and spectacles. An elderly couutry priest in his soutane excited much attention on his entry." There were about forty ladies in their gallery. In the diplomatic gallery were seen Lord and Lady .Normanby, and the official representatives of Tuscany, Austria, the United States, -and certain South American republics. About one o'clock, some officers of the National Guards appeared with their arms; but.they were.called upon to retire, amid loud cries of " No arms in .the Chamber!" they stopped at the door. At one, the members of the Pro- visional Government entered, with a numerous military attendance. As soon as they were seated, Id. Puyraveau, the " doyen d'age," who bad taken the chair invited the President of the Government to address the Assembly. M. Dupont de l'Eure thereupon spoke as follows-

" Citizen Representatives of the People—The Provisional Government comes to bow before the nation, and render a signal homage to the supreme power with which you are invested. " Elect of the People; we welcome you to this great capital, where your pre- sence excites a sentiment of happiness and hope that will not be deceived.

"Depositaries of the-national sovereignty, you are about to found new institu- tions upon the broad basis of Democracy, and to give to France the only consti- tution that can suit her—a -Republican constitution. [Here the whole assembly rase, and arida right hawds,raised, cried, " Roe la. Republique! "J But after having proclaimed the great political law which is about definitely to organize the counts-as yen, likens, Citizen Representatives, will proceed to regulate the pos- sible and efficacious action of the Government in the relations which the necessi- ties of labour establish among all the citizens, and which ought to have for base the sacred laws of justice and fraternity. [Renewed cheering, and cries of " Vire in Ripubligue!")

"In fine, the moment has arrived for the Provisional Government to resign into your hands the unlimited power with which the Revolution had invested it. You know that with regard to ourselves this dictatorship was a moral power exercised in the midst of the difficult circumstances we have passed through. "Faithful to oar origin and to our personal convictions, we have not hesitated M proclaim the infant Republic of February. " Today we shall inanguratethe laboura.of the National Assembly with the cry which ought-always to saluteit, Vivela Republique." The Representatives then separated-in their bureaux, to verify the re- turns.

In many of,the departments the election excitement has risen beyond control, andsviolent outbreaks have resulted. Rouen, Limoges, Amiens, and some other; places, have been in a .state of siege: at the last place a Provisional. Government was installed, which levied contributions on the Ww'filhe Rouen affair began on the 26th. A man cried out against Deschamps, the Government Commissary, and was pursued by a crowd. The National. Guard interfered, .andsraiSed the anger of the pursuers, who assembled next day in great strength, and-tried by all insulting means to provoke a contest. At last, a post was attacked, and for a -moment taken. The Guards -were-reinforced, how- ever, end drove out the mob, who directly began -the work of barricades. The citizens volunteered in great numbers to assist in restoring order. The National Guards and troops already inktbe place were unequal to the task of putting down the general movement, though they were invariably successful in taking each single position that they attacked. On the 28th April, the Fifty-second Regi- ment of the Line and a body of 1;200 of the Garde Mobile arrived from Paris; and more general-and combined efforts being made,. the place was brought under au- thority. During that day the conduct of Citizen Lemasson, one of the "ad- juncts" of the Mayor, engaged at the Hotel-de Ville in the business of the elections, _showed that he sympathized with the rioters; he was placed under ar- rest, and was with difficulty saved from the enraged citizens. Citizen Durand, soother Mayor's adjunct, took an actual lead in the disturbance, and was marked for shooting-by several National Guards. His arrest was also effected, and he was taken to the-Conciergerie. Subsequently, 290 persons have been arrested and confined. Itis said thatthe insurrection was one of a number which were to be made in combination throughout France. The killed on the side of the insur- gents are aome22, if not more; mom of the Guards were killed, but many were severely mounded.

At Limoges, the rising commenced on Thursday week, while the-votes of can- didates far the Assembly were under scrutiny. The election-room was entered by

a greet crowd, who overwhelmed the election-officers, took possession of the prods-verbena and the bulletins of the army, and destroyed them on the spot. Immediately afterwards, armed bands paraded the city and menaced the National Guard. These latter voluntarily assembled at their posts, but were ordered by their Colonel:to disband! The disturbers then formed a committee, which seized into government of the department. No strenuous effort of any sort being made to-oppose-them, they obtained possession of all the military and civil posts, and began to levy a forced contribution of 750,000 frame on the citizens; one great proprietor had to pay 7,000 francs as his. share. Families were allowed to depart from the town without hindrance, and did so in great numbers. It is thought that order will'be restored without difficulty-by the Paris Government; who have despatched a special-Commissary to-negotiate or to wage war, as he may deem

b

At Rochefort, afracas began over the election-totes, and grew into a general contest. The military interfered, but were unable to put down the disturbers till after a night and a day's street fighting; in the course of which five rioters and an officer of the Line were killed: the Commis- sary was driven out of the town.

At Amiens, the disturbances seem to have been connected with disputed questions of labour between the masters and workmen. Order was re- stored by the National Guards unassisted, though barricades were raised.

So at Elbmuf, Ilium, Issoire, and other places, disturbances have been raised.

In most of these places quiet has been restored; but Limoges seems to hold out. The Messager, however, states that martial law is proclaimed at Nimes; where all commercial affairs are suspended.: In Paris, the conduct of the clubs causes some uneasiness. The sub- joined document was posted on Monday: it created a great sensation; not the less so when it was observed that it was universally torn down by order of the Provisional Government. M. Barbes, whose name is among the signatures, is Colonel of the Twelfth Legion of the National Guard of Paris, a legion that numbers in its ranks 28,000 men. " SOCIgTk DES DROITS DE L'HOMME ET LOT CITOYEN:

" This society has for its object—first, to defend the rights of the people, the exercise of which has been restored to them by the Revolution of February; se- condly, to draw from this Revolution all its social consequences. As its points of departure, the Society takes the declaration of the Rights of Man as laid down in 1793 by Robespierre. It ensues, that in a political point of view, the Republic, one and indivisible, comprehends the inalienable laws of the people. In a social point of view, the old constitution is abolished; and that which is called to re- place it must rest on equality, solidarity, and fraternity, the fundamental prin- ciples of the new social compact. Consequently, the social revolution, now at its commencement, places itself between the Patios and the privileged of the ancient state of society. To the first it says—Be united, but calm; for in this lies your strength. Your number is such that it must suffice to manifest your will, and make you obtain all you desire. It is also Bach that you cannot desire anything but what is just. Your voice and your will are the voice and the will of God. To the others it says—The old social form has disappeared. The reign of privilege and exploitation is passed. In the point of view of the ancient social form, if the privi- leges with which you were invested were acquired in a legal manner, do not avail yourselves of them: these laws were year own work; the immense majority of your brethren were strangers to them, and, therefore, are not bound to respect them. Rally, then, together, for you have need of the pardon of those whom you have so long sacrificed. If, in spite of this promise of pardon, you persist in re- maining isolated in order to defend the old social form, you will find in the van- guard, on the day of conflict, our sections organized; and your_ brethren will no longer hold towards you the language of pardon, but that ofjustice.

" The Delegates of the Society, "VITALS, NAPOLEON LOBOS, HUBER, CHIPPRON, BAREkS."

The Central Republican Society has published a furious address on the events at Rouen. The address ,declares that.there has been a preconcerted slaughter of the workmen by the Royalist bourgeoisie of that town; and it vehemently cries out. for justice and " vengeance!" It demands the disarming of the bourgeoise Guard of Rouen; the arrest and trial of the generals and officers who directed the' niassactii;lind of the members of the Cour Royale.' and the dismissal from Rouen of all the troops of the Line, "who are at this very moment preparing at fratricide banquets, for a St. Bartholomew or the Parisian workmen." The address is signed by L. Auguste Blanqui, President, and by the other officers of the society.

Some acts of the Provisional Government remain to be recorded. Gene- ral Cavaignac has been recalled from Algiers, and General Changarnier appointed in his place. The Government hope to induce General Cavaignac to take the Ministry of War when they get him to Paris. The military divisions are reduced to seventeen,—namely, Paris, Lille, Metz, Strasbourg, Besancon, Lyons, Marseilles, Montpellier, Perpignan, Toulouse, _Bayonne, Bordeaux, Clermont, Nantes, Rentes, Caen, and Bastin. The number of subdivisions Leto forty-three.

A decree, dated the 27th of April, abolishes slavery in every part of. he French empire or dependencies. Slaves under sentence of punishment for offences not punishable in freemen are pardoned. No Frenchmen, even abroad, may possess or deal in slaves; and three years are given to those now doing so for conforming to this decree. The colonists are to be in- demnified. The decree is to take effect in two months after its promul- gation in each colony.

The fusion of the banks of the departments with the Bank of France has been accomplished, by a decree of the 27th April. The management of the banks continues unaltered; their notes are now made legal tender, and their circulation is restricted to a stated maximum. Finance inspectors may be employed by the Minister to verify accounts. The Memorial de Rouen states, that the funds of the Municipal Council of that city are so completely exhausted that in a few days the different charitable institutions must be closed.

The Phare de la Manche states, that 700 men employed at the Break- water of Cherbourg have been dismissed for wants of funds to pay them. The manufacturers of Lyons are living on the produce of forced sales. They complain that they have been compelled by necessity to sell to a host of English speculators their stocks of silks and velvets at two-fifths of their value. " The best velvets," they say, " which ought to produce 23 francs or 24 francs the yard, we have parted with for 8 francs."

SCRLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.—The Danes are driven further and further North by the Prussians. It is said that a body of Danes have retired into Alsen, and there maintain themselves; but the Prussians have passed beyond, taken possession of .Apenrade, and are in position before Ha- bersleben. They have also invested Tondern on the Western coast, and are pushing on even to Ripen near the West frontier of Jutland.

Little is known of the Danish forces, or their position. They suffered some losses, but are allowed to have retired Northwards in good military order.

The lOng has recovered. It is said he has gene to Odensee in Fnnen; and sent for Count Moltke, who was driven out of the late Cabinet for his leaning to Schleswig-Holstein. Accounts state that the envoy to St. Petersburg has returned, bearing the Emperor's refusal to interfere till the Prussians overstep the border of Denmark Proper; but offering to mediate jointly with England. The Danish navy is active in its operations against Prussian vessels. The East coast of Schleswig-Holstein is quite blockaded by them.

GERMANY.—The Committee of seventeen at Frankfort have completed their labours, and presented to the Diet their project of a constitution for "I

the German people. These are its main outlines--Geographically, the empire to comprise the countries of the German Confederation, including Schleswig, Posen, and Istria, though a reserve is made concerning the last two. The Confederation to be a constitutional monarchy, with a Diet of two elective Chambers. The " Emperor of Germany " to be hereditary, and inviolable; to have power of making peace and war; a voice in pro- posing measures, a power in affirming them, and the execution of the laws. His Ministers to be responsible, and no edict to be law without the signature of one of them. The Upper Chamber of the Diet to consist of all the present German Sovereigns, and a further number of per- sons, at least forty years old, elected by Sovereigns or Diets from the citizens of any German state; to serve for twelve years—one- third going out each four years by rotation. The Lower Chamber to be elected for a period of six years—one-third retiring biennially: the members to be thirty years of age, to be paid for their servi and to be chosen by the people at 'large. Every man of age an not condemned for crime to have a vote. The electoral bodies to be divided into districts of 100,000 souls. The Diet to assemble at Frankfort-on -the- Maine. A Court of Imperial Judicature to be framed, which shall have cognizance of all disputes between German States and Princes, of disputes between citizens of different states, and disputes between Princes and their State Diets; also of all Imperial fiscal matters. Free municipal constitu- tions to be guaranteed; a national guard; unrestrained freedom of public meeting; and absolute freedom of religion, science, and the press. The Vienna Gazette declares that Austria cannot accept beforehand, se obligatory on her, the resolutions of the forthcoming Parliament at Fm0k- fort. This declaration has produced an immense excitement in the Geri- Man press.

The news from Posen continues to be uncertain, but full of alarms. There has been a bloody fight between troops and the Polish inhabitants of Odelnan, arising out of national antipathies. The troops subdued the citizens, after killing and wounding upwards of 150.

Prince Czartorysky has addressed a letter to Baron Von Arnim on leaving Berlin, in despair of gaining his country's restitution. He declares that none of the promises made to his countrymen by the Prussian Government have been realized. Calumnies have been invented without number to blacken the Polish character in the eyes of the German people; and the narrow interests of the German officials in Posen, whose places were me- naced by a change of governmental administration, have contributed to pro- duce a fatal reaction. He warns Prussia against driving Poland to seek union and confidence elsewhere than in the German nation, but declares he quits Berlin with a heavy heart. The Republicans in Baden were met again, about the 25th April, by the Wurtomburg troops, and routed. The fighters were 900 Germans, under Herwegh and Bomstedn a military officer: 23 were killed, and 200 taken prisoners. Herwegh, with his wife, who was armed and present in -the fight, escaped towards Switzerland. Strove has been liberated by the people of Basle, and, with Hecker, is at Thuringen. The Prince of Leiningen has written formally to the King of Bavaria surrendering his seignbrial rights in Lower Yrancdi and -Wiper Bavaria, on condition that the King forego his forest and patron privileges. By this step he hopes to remove as far as possible all barriers between the property and labour classes, and draw them into a noble union.

liar:.—The news from Milan is to the 28th. Charles Albert is closing in his lines upon Verona. The whole army has now encamped on the left bank of the Minoio, and the head-quarters have been transferred from Volta to Vallegio. Early in the week, it was announced that General. Nugent had forced Ham to capitulate, and had occupied it with his troops —some 17,000 men. It is now stated that the capitulation was made by the authorities against the wishes of the populace, who rose en masse and drove the Austrians out of their town. It is uncertain which account is exact.

The Papal troops ,under General Durando are pushing Northwards and Westwards, in order to join Charles Albert's extreme right, and invest Mantua.

On the sea, itis said, the Austrian fleet has sailed from Trieste, and is now before Venice; and that the Sardinian and Neapolitan fleets have sailed for the same port to.raise the blockade.

Delegates from the Neapolitan Government to the Italian League had arrived in Rome on the 19th.'

INDIA.—The overland mail from Bombay for the 1st of April arrived early in the week. The chief event is the news of the entire abolition of the Indian navigation-laws by the Indian Government, and also of the coasting-trade duties.

UNITED STATES.—The Hibernia arrived at Liverpool on Wednesday, but brought no news of importance. The sympathy with the events in France had 'been strongly demonstrated, but was chequered by the fall of some great houses in the French trade; among others, that of Fox, Living- stone, and Co., the chief owners of the Havre line of ocean steamers.
