\Ve take the liberty of suggesting to the Committee of Ar
cements, to fix some reasonable price for the admission of

STATE OF AFFAIRS ON THE CONTINENT.

0U ° 1 lc even ts had been neither few nor trifling.
THE FRENCH REPUBLIC—MESSAGE OF LOUIS NAPOLEON.
In France, anew cabinet had been formed by the coalition
e ilillon Barrot and Dufaure. The new ministry is the
B ame as the old, except Dufaure takes the department of Min
mer of the Interior, M. de Tocqueville of Foreign Affairs,
and Eaguinais of Commerce. Both Bedeau and Remusa*:
refused to accept tho department of Foreign Affairs, in consc
ience of the difficulties of the Italian question. Much sur
prise was excited by the omission of Marshal Balgeaud from
list.
The Paris papers generally express disapproval of the com
promise, and predict its failure. The red republicans are.
>iiiy violent in denouncing the new ministry.
The Message of the President of the French Republic to
the Legislative Assembly, was published in the Paris papers
of Tuesday. It is composed in the American, r.nd not upon
the European Model, and fills four columns of the European
Times.
The Paris Journals of Thursday furnish intelligence to the
2d inst. up to which date hostilities hod not commenced,
though General Oudinot denounced the armistice on the Ist.
The English press in their review of the message of the
President, speak of it as exhibiting an unlooked for degree of
ability in its author, and ns being a vigorous and eloquent ex
positsion of public affairs. Tho condensed and energetic style
which characterized the proclamations and addresses of the
Emperor Napoleon is apparent throughout the whole message,
the subjects of which, followidg the American model, are ap
propriately divided, and considered under the several heads of
finance,military establishments,including the native agriculture
industry, and commerce, public works and foreign affairs
The President commences with a recital of his original engage
ments to the country, all which he claims to have faithfully
observed, and to these he promises to adhere.
After reviewing the important events which have transpired
in Europe the past year, the message goes on to say—“ Rome
a revolution was affected which created great emotion in the
Catholic and liberal world In affect, for two years, we were
accustomed to behold in the Holy See, a Pontif who took the
initiative in useful reforms, nnd whose name, repeated in
hyms of gratitude from one end of Italy to the other, was the
symbol of liberty, and the guerdon of all hopes, when all of a
sudden we learn with astonishment that the sovereign who
was lately tho idol cflPliis people, had been compelled secretly
to fly his capital. Thus, the acts of aggression which obliged
Pius IX to quit Rome, appeared to the eyes of Europe to be
the work of a conspiracy, rather than the movement of the
people, who could not have passed in an instant from the most
lively enthusiusm to the most afflicting ingratitude. The
•Catholics sent ambassadors to Gaeta, to occupy themselves
with the grave interests of tho Papacy. Prance ought to be
represented there; but she listened, without committing her
self to a course of action. Bui after the defeat of Novara,
matters took a decided turn. Austria, in concert with Naples,
answering to the appeal of the Holy Father, notified the
French Government that it should take its part, because three
powers had decided upon marching on Rome to re-establish
there tho authority of the Pope, pure and simple. Placed
under the necessity of explaining ourselves, we had but three
modes to adopt: either to oppose ourselves in arms to every
species of intervention—in which case, we would break with
all Catholic Europe for the sole advantage of the Roman Re
public, which we had not recognised —or to leavo tho com
bined powers to re-establish at their will, without any dis
cussion, the papal authority—or to exercise, of our own motion,
a direct independent action. The government of the Repub
lic adopted the last mode—the rest remains to be told, and the
difficulty is still unsolved.”
All accounts received from the French departments repre
sent the appearance of the growing crops in the most favora
ble light, and tho same may be said also of the crops in Eng
land.
THE PRESENT STATE OF GERMANY.
The Frankfort Parliament has transferred its session to Stut
gardt. Its influence will be exercised to foima republic after
the French model—to*be composed of Baden, Wurtemburg,
Rhenish Bavaria, &c.
The plenipotentiaries of Prussia, Hanover and Saxony have
promulgated anew constitution for Germany, in which the
principle of universal suffrage is recognized.
In the present, us in the previous, attempt to form a union
of ihe German States, the King of Prussia is made the prom
inent head. Austria is excluded from the present arrange
ment. All the other States are invited. Very little confi
dence is felt that the present attempt to combine the several
States under one Supreme head will be more fortunate than
the last.
THE PROGRESS OF THE HUNGARIAN WAR.
The war in Hungary presents no new feature; and since
the fall of Buda into the hands of the Hungarians, no event
has occurred calculated to have a permanent influence on the
result of the struggle, though the Hungarians have achieved
farther, apd in some respects, important victories. There is
evidence that the contestants are contracting their forces, and
accounts of a tremendous battle are every day looked for.
The Austrian General, Welden, has been superseded by
Lieut. Haynan. Prince Taskiewitch will command the united
Austrian forces in tho East; and General Haynan in the
W est.
The latest intelligence from Venice left the Austrians under
Marshall Radetsky. The account of bombarding that city,
which was closely invested on all sides, is momentarily ex
pected.
It is reported that the King of Sardinia is at the disposal of
the Hungarians; but the report requires confirmation.
The whole of the Western provinces of Ireland are repre
sented as in the most deplorable condition. Society is dis
organized.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
London Money Market, June B.—The relative position of
the Bank of England and of France ns shown in their
weekly returns, is of the ordinary character. In London
money continues at about the same value, though the rate of
discount is a shade higher.
Liverpool Cotton Market, Jane 9.—Under the influence of
favorable accounts from India, confirmation by the American
packet of the damage done to the growing crops, and
the consequent rise in prices, tho prospect of an abundant
harvest, and the cheerful aspect of the Manchester market,
buyers enme in and operated on a large scale up to the
close of the week, and the market closed at an advance of one
quarter penny per pound for all qualities of American, except
good fair, which is only one-eiglith of a penny dearer. Sea
Island has recovered the decline of one-quarter to one-half
penny per pound, noticed last week. The sales were 77,820
bales, of which there were taken on speculation 21.600
American; 3,300 Pernams, and for expectation, 4000 Ameri
can; 750 Pernams, and 40 Surat. The sales to-day were
12,000 bales. The committee’s quotations to-day for tair
cotton are about 4£d; Mobile. 4|d; and New Orleans 4id.
The estimated stocks are 667,720 bales; same time last year,
511,770 bales.
A PROCLAMATION.
MAYOR’S OFFICE. )
City of Savannah, $
The pestilence which has moro than once scourged the
people of other countries, and which in former years afflicted
so severely the inhnb’tants of our own laud, is again abroad.—
Many of our sister cities already suffering beneath its chastise
ment, and mourning for its victims. The whole Republic is
lamenting over distinguished c tizens who have fallen beneath
its blows.
The mercy of the Almighty has heretofore spared our be
loved city—although, in its last visitation, the dreadful disease
was every where around and about us, yet it came not within
our limits. The protecting arm of God was stretched out
over our dwellings, and the destroying Angel passed them by.
It well became our people to prostrate themselves in deep
gratitude for such a signal mark of sparing mercy.
The danger is again near to us. In the wise dispensation
of Ills providence, the Almighty may yet again permit us to
escape. But it is our duty to humble ourselves before Him,
ns his people of old were taught to do, and in prayer and
supplication to await His will. To the humble cry of a peo
ple in earnest prayer, His ears are ever open. Moved by
theso considerations the Common Council of the City of
Savannah, have appointed To-day, the 28'h inst., as a duy of
humiliation, fasting nnd prayer, and have directed me to issue
my proclamation accordingly.
Now, therefore, I, Richard Wayne, Mayor of the said
City of Savannah, do issue this my proclamation, setting apart
the day above mentioned for the purposes above mentioned.
And I do hereby request the citizens to abstain on that day
from all secular pursuits, nnd I also request the Reverend the
Clergy, and the various religious denominations to observed
the day with the customary aud appropriate solemnities.
Given under my hand, and the Corporate Seal of said City,
this 23d June, 1849.
