FRANCE.
FRANCE. THE ELECTIONS. The most recent intelligence from Paris, says the Patriot, justifies the gloomy statements, if not the despondency, of our correspondent in that city. Success has been divided between the extreme parties; and those who may be styled Constitutional Republicans find scarcely any place in the field. Of 687 representatives returned as elected, 476 are Royalists and Reactionists, classed as Moderates; 149 ex- treme Republicans, classed as Socialists; and no more than 62 constitutional Republicans, classed as doubtfuls. Only 63 more returns remain to be declared. The fight, indeed, has really been betwixt the Reds and the Legitimists; and, although the latter far outnumber the former, yet the differ- ence will be, perhaps, more than made up by the audacity of the Democrats and the presumption of the Reactionists, while the middle party will be far too weak to keep the peace between them. The Socialists have achieved a tri- umph in Paris. Not merely have they returned ten of their men for the metropolitan department, but three of the num- ber stand second, third, and fourth on the poll; while, al- though the Poitiers Club have had a larger success in point of numbers, their leaders, Bugeaud, Thiors, Mole, and others, are among the defeated. Cavaignac and the chiefs of his ministry have been returned, Barrot himself being the only one of the present Cabinet that is so fortunate. More than half the soldiers belonging to the department of the Seine voted for the Socialists; and General Lamoriciere, who stands sixth on the poll for Paris, is said to decline being a member of any coalition ministry Universal Suffrage has proved signally ungrateful to its authors, of whom MM. Lamartine, Dupont de l'Eure, Gamier Pages, and Marrast, are hitherto without seats in the new Assembly.
'DEFEAT OF MINISTERS.
DEFEAT OF MINISTERS. The Ministers suffered some serious defeats on Saturday in the National Assembly. The bill introduced by M. Leon Faucher for the continuance to General Changarnier of the double command of the garrison and of the National Guards of Paris, came on for discussion. The Ministers wished the discussion to be postponed, but on a division the motion for postponement was rejected by a majority of 294 to 254. The discussion was tuen continued. M. Odilon Barrot warmly supported the bill, which was as warmly attacked by M. Grevy. On a division the Ministers were defeated, the numbers being-- Foi- tlae bill 210 Againstit. 293 0 Majority against Ministers 83 General Le Breton, one of the questors, then proposed that the Assembly should adjourn till Thursday, in order that the hall should undergo some necessary repairs. M. Flocon op- posed an adjournment at a moment an armed Revolution was at the gates of Strasburg, and when Russia was march- ing into Austria. M. Le Breton's motion was rejected by a large majority, and the Assembly adjourned to Monday. The Ministry is in the agonies of dissolution. Marshal Bugeaud has arrived in Paris, and will be, it is said, charged with the formation of a ministry preparatory to a COllp d'etat for the destruction of the Republic. He will have all his subordinate ministers military men. Should such a ministry be appointed, we may expect to see Louis Napoleon in London by the close of the season. Several of his best friends have urged Louis Napoleon to send for M. Dufaure, but he refuses to do so. General Lamoriciere and General Cavaignac have both been sounded, but they refuse to join either a Bugeaud or a coalition ministry, although they will join any ministry of which Dufaure shall be chief.
.GERMANY.
GERMANY. FRANKFORT, MAY 13.-Last night the Margrave Maxi- milian, brother of the Grand Duke of Baden, arrived here from Carlsruhe with very distressing accounts. The authori- ties at Rastadt, not considering that fortress a safe place to keep Struve and Blind in (the Republican leaders of the in- surrection of October last), directed a detachment still faith- ful to their oath to transport them to Bruchsal. Thev ful- filled their mission, but spent a few hours in drinking." The 11 consequence was, that they returned through Carlsruhe. nurl oegan a great row mere." a regular ligrtL commenced In the streets, a portion of the Carlsruhe garrison siding with them, whilst the whole burgher guard assisted the rest of the troops, under the command of General Hoffmann, to put down the mutiny. Margrave Maximilian was despatched by the Government to Frankfort, to request immediate help from the central Government. He was on the point of leav- ing the town, when the Grand Duke and his family de- clared they would not stay during the midnight combat, and loined him. Escorted by artillery and cavalry, they left Carlsruhe in carriages for one of the next railway stations. Here, in the bustle and confusion, the Margrave lost the Grand Duke and his suite, and arrived in Frankfort without knowledge of what had become of them.
PRUSSIA.
PRUSSIA. A correspondent at Berlin writes, all the 14th, to the Emancipation of Yesterday, a battalion of the Berlin Landwehr was to be reviewed by the King before moving to Ham, where a repetition of the scenes at Breslau and Dresden were apprehended. His Majesty made a short speech to the soldiers, expressing his regret ut having to send them against the inhabitants of Ham, who, until the present day, had always been the most loyal of his subjects; but lately some French and Polish demo- crats had succeeded in turning the heads of these good people. The King would have gone on, but was stopped by murmurs of indignation from the ranks, some of the men crying out, 'It is not true! it is not true!' while others hissed and when an officer cried, Long live the King!' only about twenty of the men joined him. This bad disposi- tion of 'the Landwehr is increasing. To-day the second battalion of Berlin, having received orders to march to Baden, the men mutinie, and knocked down a major and a lieutenant. Send us against the Russians,' cried a young soldier, but not against our brother Germans.' Another exclaimed, We know against whom to level our muskets.' The battalion moved off singing songs which were anything but in praise of the King." The leader of the Opposition, Waldeck, has ben arresteed.

BAVARIA. Letters from the Rhine frontier announce that two regi- ments of Prussian infantry, which had been ordered into Bavaria, have put their officers to death, and joined the people.
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.-
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY. The Emperor returned to Vienna on the 12th. The Weiner Zeituna of the I9t>i publishes an ovmy nuuetin describing in magniloquent language an advantage gained by the Imperialists over the Magyars at Schutt. erily tne Austrians are tnankful for small mercies, for on looking to the return of casualties we find that the whole loss of the Hungarians amounted to "twelve Idlled, and several prisoners. The Pesther Zeititvg of the 6th contains the following order ;—"The bombardrjient of Pesth, which has been con- tinued from yesterday evening- during the whole night up to the present hour, has been chiefly occasioned, I am per- suaded, by the firing of the citizens from the Pesth bank of the Danube. Shooting either in the town or on the bank of the river is strictly forbidden. Whoever is caught in the fact, or convicted of shooting, will, after trial by court-mar- tial, suffer sentence of death.—STEPHEN PAT A Y, Command- ant of the Garrison. Pesth, May 5." The 4th battalion of the Dcutschmeister Regiment of Infantry, commanded by Major Trenk, at the recent affair at Jablunka lost 200 men killed, besides wounded and prison- ers. The 1st and 2nd battalions of the same regiment, who were to penetrate into Upper Hungary, under .General Barco, lost at Polena the colonel, Count Bubna, 17 ofiicers, and 300 men killed. In South Hungary tilings are not much better. At Funfkirchin the inhabitants rose and expelled from the town the Croat garrison of four battalions, for which deed the Ban has commissioned General Ottinger to chastise them, and to impose a fine of 100,000 florins in silver. By way of Cracow 30,000 Russians have advanced into Hungary, and 20,000 by way of Lemberg.
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN, MAY 18.—Fredericia has been bombarded since three o'clock yesterday morning, thirty bombs having been, in the first instance, thrown into the fortress. The day before yesterday, the Prussians occupied our Aarhims, and they did not encounter any of the men except a few cavalry patrols. Nor is it. known where the northern division of the enemy is stationed. On the gradual approach of the Imperial troops, the inhabitants leaving their property at stake take ships, and leave for Turin. The Danes at Fredericia are indefatigable in daily saluting the German works of fortification with their bombs without, however, causing much damage. When too energetic the Germans make the Jutland peasants, who arc at work upon them, immediately cease their fire. On the 15th they saluted the German entrenchment with nineteen bombs, but only one of them took effect and killed a couple of men. Upon this, General Bonit placed the Jutland peasants in a more exposed position than they generally occupied, and the Danes immediately gave over firing. The fortress of Frede- ricia is now the stronghold, and although the Danes were victorious in the first sally, it is said that their loss was considerable, though the Minister of War at Copenhagen gives the list of one killed and sixteen wounded. The Danes assert that Fredericia will be able to sustain a bombardment for three weeks. The event will prove whether this is so or not.
ITALY.
ITALY. SECOND DEFEAT OF THE NEAPOLITANS BY GARIBALDI. Garibaldi bids fair to be the Bern of Italy. He has de- feated the Neapolitan forces a second time, and this second defeat would appear to be not merely a defeat, but a rout. The following official account of Garibaldi's victory was published at Rome 011 the 10th:— OFFICIAL BULLETIN.—FIRST ITALIAN LEGION OF GENERAL GARIBALDI. Palestrina, May 9, Quarter-past Eight, P.M. A complete victory. The enemy, 7,000 strong, entirely routed. We have taken three pieces of artillery-two mutilated, one good. The firing commenced at half-past four, and finished at dusk. More exact details shall be sent in an hour. Palestrina is illumi- nated. DAVFRIO, Chief of the General Staff."
''OFFICIAL REPORT.--ITALIAN…
''OFFICIAL REPORT.ITALIAN LEGION, COMMANDED BY GARIBALDI. Palestrina, May 9, Nine, P.M. The combat of to-day could not have had a better termina- tion. The Neapolitans, to the number of 7,000, with 800 cavalry, arrived in the evening of yesterday at Valmontone, and were an- noyed by us during the night with a fire of musketry, pushed up to the walls. To-day they attempted to strike a decisive blow at us. Three roads lead from this place to Valmontone, which all meet in one at two musket-shots beyond Palestrina. The enemy divided his forces into two bodies one was directed upon our left, by the road which runs from this to Cave, with a branch to Val- montone, the other upon our right, by Lugano. At the centre a skirmish took place, in which three of the Royalists were killed, without any of our men being hurt. At half-past four the enemy, whose coming we ardently longed for, appeared. All was ready. The fire began from our left, the enemy replying with cannon as well as musketry. None of our men gave ground for an instant, but stood nailed to their post, like lions made fierce by thirst of blood. After an hour's firing, the enemy made a movement in retreat; a detachment of our troops, sent to the left under shelter of the high ground, opened a fire upon his flank, well nourished, and directed with such skill and steadi- ness that we had the satisfaction of seeing the enemy betake him- self to a precipitate flight, leaving many dead and wounded, with three pieces of artillery, two of them disabled. He was pursued for a considerable distance, and though very clever at running, several prisoners were made. Meanwhile another body of troops came upon our left, by the pathway of Zagarolo, to which leads a cf Lugnano they were drawn up in mass, with a vanguard of cavalry; another body of cavalry, deployed upon their left flank, was posted in reserve. This body arrived in good order at the point where the roads crossed each other, and opened a fire from one piece of artillery. Their object was to repair the repulse they had received on the other side, and they attempted to deploy some battalions on this quarter, but our troops were too firm at their posts to allow them to pass thereupon they changed their tactics, and attempted to penetrate to our right flank by descending in single file. The fire with which they were met was too keen they tried a last effort, but unsuccessfully. Our men, encouraged ex- ceedingly by what had passed, met them with ardour, and could not long be restrained in their position. Quitting it on three points, they made a vigorous assault, and forced the enemy to a hurried flight. A single company of ours sufficed to pursue him more than a mile, repulsing and almost destroying a squadron of cavalry. which had in despair attempted a charge. Thus it is proved that the Italians, when they fight, conquer- for those only are Italians who contend for liberty. The Neapo- litans sustained a heavy loss in killed, wounded, and prisoners; of our men few were wounded, and still fewer killed. The particu- lars of the Royalist and our loss will be given to-morrow. DAVEEIO, Chief of the Staff of General Garibaldi." Garibaldi returned to Rome on the 11th, and was received in triumph. Accounts have been received from Bologna to the 12th. The place still held out against the Austrians. The people were fighting desperately, and are prepared to make of Bologna a second Saragossa. The Austrians have been repulsed by the Bolognese in several attacks. Hosti- lities recommenced on the 9th, when the Austrians threw rockets upon the town from the suburb of San Michale, and cannonaded it from the Palazzo Aldini. A combined attack upon the Galliera, Felice, Isaia, and Saragossa gates took place at the same time, all which were repulsed, while the Bolognese cannon did great execution among the Austrians at the Annunziata. The Bolognese have 2,000 troops of the line.
VENICE.
VENICE. A new act of treachery had been discovered at Venice by the confession of one of the conspirators. It was intended to set fire to the arsenal, and whilst the troops in the fort of Malghera should be occupied in extinguishing the fire, the Austriaas were to assault the fortress. General Pepe turned his information to good account. A few minutes before the hour fixed for the fire, he caused all the traitors to be ar- rested, an,d collected near the arsenal a heap of wood and straw, to which he set fire. At the sight of the fire, the Austrians, completely deceived, mounted to the assault, but they were met by a shower of bombs and bullets, which foijced them to retreat with considerable loss. The besieged, taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, made a sortie, captured 8QO Austrians, and spiked tho greater numDer or their cannon. The Milan Gazette of the 12th publishes a proclamation dated the 4th, addressed by Marshal iiadetzky to the Vene- tians, ill which he states that he has come for the last time from Milan with the olive branch in one hand, in the hopes that, they will follow the dictates of rcnson; but, also, with the swOrd in the other, ready to inflict upon them the scourge of war, even to extermination, should they persist in their rebellion. He then demands:—1st. A complete and abso- lute surrender. 2nd. The surrender of all forts, of the town, all materials of war, public treasury, &c. 3rd. Of all arms, whether public or private. He in return—4th. The permission to all poisons, without exception, to leave the town by either sea or land. 5th. A general pardon to all soldiers and sub-officers of the land and sea forces. The answer of Manin, dated the 5th, states in substance that he had already, on receiving the summons of Lieutenant-Mar- 811::1 Haynau, dated the 26th March, consulted the represen- tatives or the Venetian people who had on the 2nd of April decreed resistance to the last, and given him the charge of it and that he can, therefore, give Marshal Radetzky no other answer but that. He adds, that on the 4th of April last, he (Manin) had addressed notes to the Cabinets of En: land and France, praying that they might mediate between Austria and Venice, so that the latter might obtain a suita- ble political condition, and that he hopes soon to obtain com- munications respecting the friendly interposition of those po'-virs, more particularly after the new instructions ho sent to I'ttris OIl the 22nd. He then leaves it to Radetzky to judge whether hostilities ought to be suspended or not. To this answer of Manin's, Radetzky abruptly replies in an- other proclamation, dated the 6th, that the Emperor will never permit the intervention of foreign Powers between himself and his rebellious subjects; and that he regrets being obliged to make Venice suffer the fate of war.
THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA.
THE UNITED STATES AND CANADA. The following dispatches from the United States have arrived by the royal mail steam-ship Cambria, Captain Shannon. j Affairs in Canada were comparatively quiet. The follow- ing are the latest telegraphic accounts:— MONTHEAL, MAY 8, 6 P.M. The Parliament was not in session to-day it will convene on Monday next, and hold its sessions in the new building owned by Mr. Ilayes, called the Freemason's-hal], but it is said that the seat of Government is to alternate four years at Quebec and Toronto. The agitation still continues in the eastern townships. All is quiet in Montreal." MAY 7, P.M. Quebec partook of the general excitement incidental upon the Rebellion Losses Bill having been sanctioned. The Governor-General was burnt in effigy on Friday evening last. Resistance was made by a section of the Irish party who pro- fessed ultra Repeal doctrines, and a fight ensued, which was finally quelled by the police. The military were in attendance, but were not required. One man was weunded, but not seri- ously. On Saturday an attempt was made to burn Sir A. M'Nab in effigy, but the moderate of the Irish party prevented it. On Sunday a mass meeting of the French Canadians was held, aided by the same Repeal followers, and a deputation sanctioned to proceed to the seat of Government to present an address to the Governor-General, offering defence and condo- lence. On Monday large parties again assembled, but all passed off quietly. There is a talk of arming on both sides, and the papers in the Canadian interest talk most loudly." MAY 4. News from all over the country still continues to pour in, both by telegraph and mail, of the monster meeting got up to protest against the Indemnity Bill, and to get up petitions to the Queen to recal the Governor. "We have just received word from Toronto of an immense meeting held there for the above-named object, and the appoint- ment of Sir Alan M'Nab as a delegate to England. There was a fierce debate in the Assembly yesterday even- ing upon a motion of adjournment—bitter criminations and re- criminations passed between both parties. "Mr. Papineau,the old leader of the rebellion, made a furious attack on the ministry, charging them with incapacity, and being the cause of all the disturbances. Mr. Solicitor-General Drummond replied by charging him with the desire of annexation to the United States, and of being the first Governor of the new State. Sir Alan M'Nab raked up recollections of murder and outrage committed during the rebellions of 1837 and 1838. The minis- try deprecated the cause of the argument as being got up for mere party purposes, and said that at a proper time they were deiit of the Council likewise said that one of the causes of the excitement was the desire of annexation, which he deprecated."

Maui ■ O'CONNELL'S LIBRARY. The library of Daniel O'Connell is to be sold by auction on the 22nd, being of no use to any members of his family. It is a very extensive and well selected law library down to 1831, when the reports stop, just at the time he devoted himself to parliamentary life entirely. The miscellaneous library is exactly of the kind which one would anticipate O'Connell to have had. It contains a great variety of the modern works, which would place its owner au courant with the subjects of the day. Few of the books are of a profound or recondite character; they may be described as various, odd, and superficial. Lot 1,146 is the gem of the collection. It consists of four MS. volumes of the cases from 1798 to 1806, in which O'Connell was employed as counsel, with brief notices (some of them sarcastic) of the various judges and barristers, Lords Yelverton, ICilwarden, Curran, O'Grady, and others. Along with them are his cash books of income and expenditure down to 1831. This is certainly a curious lot, and will fetch a high price.I-)ttily News. CHOLERA. This disease has decreased considerably during the past few days. It has quite disappeared from many towns in Mayo, Tipperary, and Clare, where it raged with fatal vio- lence the early part of this month. 0 ARRIVAL OF BREAD STUFFS. DUBLIN.

A. WIFE POISONING HER IIU LID SATURDAY, Considerable excitement and feelings of horror prevail at the present time throughout this neighbourhood, in consequence of he discovery of another supposed case of secret poisoning, und he committal to the county gaol of the alleged murderess. The circumstances connected with the case, as far as they have yet been ascertained, appear to be as follow :—Some few days since, a married man, about twenty-six. years of age, named William Ilornsby, who resided at Haltwbistle, was taken sud- denly ill, and he died shortly afterwards, from what was at first believed to be inflammation of the stomach, produced by natural causes. The man's death having become generally known through the district, a report became current that his wifVy on the day preceding the death, had-purchased some arsenic, for the alleged purpose of poisoning rats. The neigh- bours and oth(T¡ parties at once made inquiries respecting the mysterious affu'r, which satisfied them that the poison had not been used for the purpose stated. Mr. Stephen Bird, the coroner, was therefore made acquainted with the suspicions that were entertained that the deceased had not met his death fairly. The result was, that that gentleman gave the necessary instructions for holding an inquest on the body, when, after the examination, of sundry witnesses, the inquiry was adjourned until Monday, to alloy/ time for a post mortem cxatninat ion of the deceased's body to be made, and also for an analysis of the contents of the stomach to be made. Dr. Glover, and another medical gentleman of this town, have been directed to proceed with this part of the inquiry, and it is stated that they have discovered indications denoting the presence of arsenic. The magistrates have also taken the case up, and the evidence brought before them was of such a nattln: as to warrant them in committing the deceased's wife tc Morj elh gao1, on suiq-h ion of murdering her husband.
DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS BY…
DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS BY THS HUNGARIANS. The Gologne of the 19th (second edition) states, on the authority of one of its Vienna correspondents, that Bern had attacked and disarmed a Russian corps of 30,000 men that a great number of the Russian officers had gone c5 over to his side; that the Hungarians had captured sixty pieces of cannon; and that the disarmed Russians had been driven across the frontier. Another correspondent writes on the 14th of May, that Field-Marshal Paskiewich, with 18,000 men, had attempted to enter Transylvania, but had been attacked by Bern and entirely routed.
TUSCANY.
TUSCANY. Letters from Leghorn, dated 10th inst., state that the Austrians, from 15,000 to 18,000 men, had invested the city on all sides, but had only gained possession of the gate of St. Marc. The defence was directed by thirty-five officers of the ex-Garde Mobile of Paris, lately arrived. The greater number had subsequently endeavoured to take refuge in the ships and in the harbour, but five or six were captured and imprisoned by the insurgents. The port and roads were crowded with merchant ships, full of womlfl1 and children. Subsequent letters, dated the 11th inst., 8 a.m., state that the bishop and the consular corps had in vain endeavoured to obtain a capitulation from the Austrian commander. A postscript, dated the same day, 2 p.m., adds—"The Aus- trians are masters of the city. The insurgents made but a weak defence. Courts-martial are being organised." A rumour that twelve of the chiefs had been shot requires confirmation. Letters from Leghorn, dated on the afternoon of the 12th inst., state that the Austrians, shordy after their entrance into the city, had shot, without any form of trial, every person met carrying any description of fire-arm, or even wearing the uniform of the National Guard.
