Mr. Meagher’s trial was proceeded with yesterday, but the foremau announced in court during the evening that there was no likelihood of their agreeing to a verdict.” The same paper says that “ the peace of Ireland continues undisturbed.

The number of the dead was not I known, but it was considerably greater ■ than in the insurrection of the 2Gth of | March. Among the killed was the Captain I General Fulgosio,brother~in-lawofMar»a | Christina. Thirty-four of the prisoners taken— | one-half of them civilians, the other half nilitary men—were tried and sentenced [to death by a court-martial, and were 1 about to be shot when the post left. The Parts papers of yesterday an- I nounce the formation of ihe new Ministry Mr. Mitchell has been arrested, and committed to Newgate for felony, un der the Anti-treason Act, no bail be ing allowed. He will be tried by’corn- mission. With regard to commercial, matters the Times says :— Colton is in improved request. A. fair amount of business is being trans acted, and for the lower qualities of American an advance of otic-eightfi .of a penny per lb. has been obtained. The sales of the week, up till last night, were about 17,000 bales, of which from 2000 to 3000 were for export. The imports are to a fair extent. The reports from Mark lane advise us of a dull trade in all kinds of Grain and Grain produce. On Monday,Wheat receded Is. per qr., but other articles remained much the same as last week. Paris, Monday Evening, 5 o'clock. The club this day marched in pro cession to the National Assembly ; not being opposed by the National Guards they took possession of the Chamber.— Blanqui harangued the*assembly declar ing that if the rappel was beaten it would be treason, and the traitor deali with. Huber, with the red flag waving over him, mounted the tribune, declaring the as sembly dissolved, and the following- provisional government named:— Cabet, Barbes, Huber, Proudhomme, Ledru ltollin, Louis Blanc, Blanqui, Pierre Leroux, Ilaspiel—all Commu nists. • Paris in consternation !!! t There are troops marching up the" boulevards. Half-past Six.—It is just said that the National Guards are protecting the Na tional Assembly and the Hotel de Ville, and better hopes are accordingly felt. The following version of this impor—' tact news was received by the electric telegraph :— Paris, Monday, G P.

Much uproar ensued, and all author ity ceased. The delegates of the clubs spoke from the tribune, and proposed motions, which were carried by accla mation. The Chamber was declared dissolved, and a new government was appointed consistingof Blanqui, Raspail, Hubert, Ledru Rollin, Barbes, Louis Blanc and others. . v The troop3 of the line, infantry, cav alry, and artillery, were called out, and the National Guard and Garde Mobile | con, Duclerc, Bclhmont, Frelat, and ■Admiral Casy. s apprehended that an armed [demonstration in favor of the Poles [would take place in Paris this day. Some of the journals announced that I the Pope had been deposed, and the republic wproclaimcd at Home, but the news seems pre- | mature. Imprisonment ol the Pope* A report prevailed in Paris, yester- |da3 r , that the Pope, repenting his late ■hostility to Austria, had revoked his de claration of war ; that in consequence, |thc people had risen cn masse and depos ed him from his temporal authority— •lacing him under restraint in the Castle! were placed under arms. of St. Angelo. Alter much uproar and confusion, the The Journal dcs Delats confirms the | populace becoming intimidated bv the above. It appears that Rome lias regu- j troops, left the assembly, aud marched larly rebelled against him, and the pro bability is that his Holiness will be de posed as a temporal prince. In fact, the entire executive authority appears to be exercised by the new ministry, without I any control on the part of the Pontiff*. We learn from Borne under date of j the 8th inst., that M. Oehsenbein had resigned the presidency of the directory of the diet and his other offices. This resolution was adopted by him in con sequence of the questiou of the interven tion of" Switzerland in the affairs of Italy, which be opposed. On the 9 th it was to be decided if bis resignation should be accepted; if it were, it would settle the question of inr tervention in the affirmative. Paris, May 11, 10 o’clock.

Meanwhile the Assembly resumed its session. The National Guard have marched to the Hotel de Ville, in order to drive out the populace. The National Guard as well as the troops of the line maintain their alle giance to the National Assembly. • The principal facts are not known at the Bourse, where the Threes were last quoted at 44; Fives, 6G.. The people on forcing tbeir way in to the Assembly, took possession of all the seats they could find. They called for war. The assembly refused' com pliance, saying they would take the mat ter into consideration. The National Guards are marching in columns of tens of thousands on the As sembly. The utmost excitement pre vails. I liave just seen several men ar rested and brought ofFas prisoners who were caught posting jup exciting pla cards. ...... .* A cry that “ treason” has been committed against the government by certain leaders of the National Guards and the Gardes Mobiles is general. Ifthe government be overthrown there is every probability of a civil war, for t , the departments would march on Paris. The people are said to have taken possession oftbejHolel de Ville. The great Democracy of theUnit- ed States have paid a rather leit-handed compliment to the Democracy of Franco in nominating for the Presidency the historiographer and eulogist of the last of the Bourbons. They may think they can succeed in elevating, in the new world, the worn out and exploded Bour- bonism of the old, in the person of its eulogist;—but they will Hnd themselves mistaken. Such an effort is behind the' spirit of the age. The people will endure nothing th it is'tainlcd with Bour- bonism—whether iri the guiso of a Louis rhilhppe'or aLevvis Cass.—Rich. tVkig,
