Rochefort affirms that the Lyons delegates told him that the Commune would be proclaim ed at Lyons as socn as it was known these that Thiers refused concessions from tho Paris Com mune. Fort Valerien fired upon the American flag, mistaking it for the Commune flag. General Cluseret says a battalion of the line at Asniercs laid down their arms, -meaning to join the Commune squadron. The chasseurs did the same thing, and elsewhere other troops were prevented from doing so. TIic Mississippi Crcvnsscs, New Orleans, April 25.—Chief Engineer Thompson's official report says: By some nn- fortunate misconception of his orders in regard to establishing a line of couriers from Kenner- ville to Bonnet Carro crevasse, nothing official has been heard up to this hour (9 o’clock s. an) from that point. This is sure evidence that no great change for the worse has occurred. Early to-morrow morning a party consisting of Governor Warmonth, Mayor Flanders, Presi dent McComb of the Jackson Road, and other officials, will visit the crevasse. Colonel Wal ton, Engineer of the Mexican Gulf Canal, and Captain Hatch, Assistant State Engineer, went np this evening on the steamer Leo. I have heard that the people at Kennervillo turned out to build themselves a protection of the levee in their rear and around the town. The front levees have been repaired and strengthened, and the new levee on tho Trundan place is rap idly approaching completion. I have heard this evening from the Superin tendent at tho Marcro crevasso just below the barracks. Ho says : “I am happy to tell you we are getting along very well. I think by to morrow we will have tho whole work accom plished.” No direct news has been received from the Poverty Point crevasse, winch is favorable. Yesterday Captain South reported that he had plenty of materials and expected soon to com* plete the work. From tho McDonongh crevasse, in PJaqne- mino Parish, on tho right bank, I have heard as late as 5 o’clock p. m Mr. Decker, in charge, telegraphs as follows: ‘-Just come from the crevasse on Dr. Parmeleo’s place, and find that it can be conveniently closed with the materials there. The materials were sent this morning. In a long official letter from Engineer \^n Pelt, dated 12:30 yesterduy, he says the Grand and Morgan’s Sea levees are safe. I came down by land from New Texas to Hermitage. The Point Coupee levees are safe for this sea son. Tho crevasso at Point Maner is now be tween two hundred and two hundred and fifty feet wide, and abont four feet of water in the bottom in front of Mr. Glynn’s. I commenced work on the levee on the 13th, and the crevasse broke on the lC;h. It has taken all on* foroe and enough more to keep the levee from break ing in other places. I have just passed the Evergeen levee. It will stand. The planters kept it up by hard work. Rumors of n crevasse at Blue Store in Point Coupe and Bayou Sara, are unfounded. Water in Red River is falling. No interruption of telegraph commonication along tho Jackson Railroad has occurred, and no waters from Bon-j net Carre crevasse are nearer to the city than 1 thirteen miles. The river in front of the city is sixteen inches below the high water mark of 18G2, and falling. Monroe, La., April 25.—Another severe hail storm look place yesterday afternoon.

(prepared for the telegraph and messenger.) Affairs in France continue most deplorable. Though the government troops are reported to be steadily advancing, there is no prospect of an immediate collapse of the insurrection. In the meantime, the spirit of anarchy, like a con tagious disease, is spreading over the country. Toulouse has been declared in a state of seige, and several other large cities are on the eve of revolution. The people of Nice still fail to appreciate the blessings of French civilization, and long to be re-united with the kingdom of Italy. Tho news from Algiers is not encouraging. A native chief, said to command 30,000 men, has risen against the French rule. The discip line of the French troops is very loose and th«^ men who volunteered for the duration of the war have refused to march against the Arab Insurgents. Society in Paris presents tho most perfect chaos. The judicial business is perfectly suspended, there being no Judges sitting. Sinc > the fourth of September last .35,000 law oases, comprising the most various interests, have accumulated. In the English House of Commons a resolu tion, discontinuing tho telegraph and postal services on Sunday, was lost, the Government being sustained by a majority of 49 votes. The bill abolishing tho game laws, after an animated debate, was defeated by 123 majority. Peter Alfred Taylor, member for Leicester, having stated that the tenth part of tho surface of Scotland, or two millions of acres had been re served as deer forests, and the population exiled to make room for game, William Brand, member for Cambridgeshire, in the coarse of £ho following debates, said that poachers and thieves only nrged the abolition of the game laws. The House of Lords, for the sixth time, has vetoed the bill legalizing marriage with a deceased wife’s sister, sent np from tho House of Commons. This decision has caused groat indignation in England, and tho Daily News thus begins a leading article : “Oat with the Bishops! The trifling of ecclesiastical dilettanti and spiritual Pharisees with the social and fam ily arrangements of the country has lasted long enough; and a short road will, we hope, be found to a euro of the 6vil.” Wo have several times expressed our bt llcl that the annexation of tho Duchy of Luxem bourg to the German Empire ia only a question of little time. Indeed, present reports aro in sinuating that tho cession in principle is alre ady agreed npon between Holland and the Imperial Government. We think the population of tho Daohy who have either to choose between hav ing tho Zoliverein, which is equal to financial ruin, or entering the German Empire, would have no great objection to the latter course, were it not for the German system of compell ing military service, enrolling alike, high and low, into tho national army. In the meantime the German papers are already beginning to ex press an ardent desire that another Geiman ter ritory, which was lost owing to tho disunion of tho nation, might bo won back to tha Empire. Tho Island of Helgioland, not far from the month of the Elbe, as a dependency of Schles wig-Holstein, was governed by the Danish Crown—tho Kings of Denmark ruling Sohles- wig-Holstein in much the same way as, for while, the Kings of England ruled Hanover. After Denmark had allied herself to Franco in 1807, England took possession of the Island keeping it as a valuable station in the North Sea ever since. Helgioland, protecting the en trance into the rivers Eider, Elbe, Weser and Jade, in the hands of an enemy may prove great danger to Germany in times of war; it is true England has never made an unfair use of her acquisition, but German national pride, so much strengthened since the war, dislikes to sco the English, who similarly hold possession of Gibraltar in Spain, continue their suprema cy over Helgioland. If during the war, the Isl and had been in German koepirg the French fleet would never have been able to coal every fortnight off the ooast of Helgioland. In fact, to blockade the mouth of the Weser, would have been an impossibility. Owing to her Steep coasts and few accessible points Helgioland is easily to be defended against a powerful squad ron. It is said that Count Bemstorff, the German Ambassador in London, remarked in a recent interview with the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, that public opinion in Germany, on account of tho exportation of arms to France, was very hostile, but that England by withdrawing from Helgioland might secure tlialasting friendship of Germany, whereupon he was told that tho pending questions of maritime warfare being settled, there were no objections to take the matter into consideration. The first German Parliament forms such an important epoch in modem history that wo can not help paying its deliberations a more careful attention by citing part of a speech of Bismarck, which forcibly illustrates his own views on the so-called Polish question or tho resurrection of the ancient Kingdom of Poland. There aro about twenty Polish deputies in tie House who proposed that Prussian Poland «nonld not bo included in the Federal territory. Tho Chancellor, opposing this amendment, rose and said: ... “I deny that the gentlemen who propose this motion have a right to apply the words of tho speech from tho throne as they do. Reference is there made to other motions and States, whose independence is to be respected. The gentlemen belong to no other nation and to no other State than that of tho Prussians, of which I am also a member; they cannot include Posen and West Prussia, which have long been por tions of the Kingdom of Prussia, in the other States and nations alluded to in the opening speech. This is one of those actions which dim deny that these gentlemen have a right to speak, in the name of the inhabitants of any district of Prussia, whatever tho language there may be. I will not remind you that, legally, you here represent only tho whole of thq nation, and not any separate district, and that you can have no special, mandate. I will only recall to your minds what, on a former occasion I more care fully proved, (hat those who elected you do not approve of tho declarations you make in their names. Your countrymen have fought for the cause which unites us t here with the same courage and devotion which the inhabitants of every other part of Prussia have displayed, and your oonntrjmen are just as grateful for tho blessings of Prussian culture, as the inhabi tants of Schleswig.” [Cheers.] After having staled that the treaties, referring to the Grand daohy of Posen and West Prussia did not con tain- the provisions-, the Polish members as cribed to them, the Chancellor again continued: “I also wish to request you to teach us toler ance rather by example than by precept. When the Poles were an independant nation, wliat course of policy did they adopt towards those whom they had conquered by the sword ? Do you wish us to imitate the system you followed against the Rutherians, the Russians who lived under your rule, the Lithuarians, and even the Germans? Your existence in this country, gen tlemen, would become perfectly intolerable, if we were to treat you as you treated the Ger mans yon had conquered.” Bismark then al luded to a bloody episode in Polish history, and proceeded: “You need entertain no apprehen sion, gentlemen, that these historical'reminis cences which, against my wish, you compel me to revive, will either serve U3 as an example, or excite any feeling of bitterness.” After several other members had addressed the House, Prince Bismark ro3e again, and taming to the Poles, he said: “You, gentlemen, are really no na tion,mad you represent no nationyou have nothing to rely on, but your factions, and your illusions, ono being that the Polish people have elected you as members of the Reichstag, in order to represent the Polish nationality.” Ho then told them that they had been elected to support the interests of the Catholic Church, and had a full right to aot in accordance with those views,” but you have no mandate to rep resent, in this place the Polish people, or the Polish nationality. No hnman being bas com missioned you to do so—the people in the Grand- duchy of PoseD, and ia West Prussia least of all. They do not share your fiction that the Polish rule would have been a good, or “not a bad thing,” to use the expression of the gentle man who has just spoken. With all impartial ity, and with every desire to be just, I can as sure you it was a very bad thing indeed, and that, therefore, it will never be restored”— [Cheers.] Dr. John Joseph Ignatius Doellinger, the greatest living historian cf the Roman Catholic Church, whosepiety has never been doubted by even the most ardent Catholio, has been excom municated by Pius the Ninth, because he re fused to give bis adhesion to the new dogma of Papal infallibility. Doellinger has defended his deoision by a lengthy argument, the main points of which are these: “The new dogmas are in imical to tho Scriptures, as interpreted by ihe Fathers. The arguments in their favor are principally from forged documents; doctrines precisely opposite were published by two Gen eral Councils and several Popes in the fifteenth century. Tho new dogma is incompatible with the constitution of most modern States, espec ially with that of Bavaria, to whichDf. Doellin ger, as a member of the Reichsrath, has sworn al legiance. The Council was not free. The writer winds up his eloquent protest with this declara tion : “I cannot conceal from myself that this doctrine, the result of which was the destruction of the old German Empire, will, in case it should become dominant among the Catholio portion of the German nation, immediately plant the germ of an incurable decay in the new empire which has just sprung into existence.” Contrary to former reports tho Government commands but a feeble majority in tho Spanish Cortes. Casteiar, the leader of the Republican party, made the startling proposition to dethrone the King; this motion was followed cy the greatest confusion, rendering further debate impossible. Jabno.

PATEIvT FEA DROPPER. Patented May 4tb» 1SG9. T HIS noble little machine was intended by tho in ventor for dropping peas, for which purpose it claims a spe cialty. And even as Com and Guano Dropper it has no equal. As a Pea Dropper, it needs only to be seen to con vince anyone that it is a per fect success. The present season the inventor has drop- ned nearly ono ton of guano with the Dropper, in tho hill, with Ids 00m, and he is now prepared to recommend it for patting guano into the hill with more correctness and rapidity than any otb er mode he has tried. It is light, only weighs one pound and a half, simple, and not liable to get out of order. It ia used in the same manner and with as much ease aa a walking cane. Children can use it with perfect success before they can drop by hand. I wish to establish agents to sell the PEA DROPPER. Price, at retail, $175.
