BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

The National Assembly decided on Monday, and by a majority of 466 againit 288, in favour of the Ministerial proposition for sending the conspirators of the 15th May for trial before the High Court of Justice; Tee election of Colonel for the Second Legion of the National Guard of the lanlieue terminated in favour of M. Napoleon Bonaparte, the son of the exKing of Westphalia. He had 3962 votes, M. Michel, 1951, and Barbes only 137. In France a proposition to name the time for the termination of the Legislative labours was laid before the Assembly, and it was decided by a majority of one that it should have consideration. But the Committee to whom it was referred, have agreed to smother it, and there is very little chance of its coming before the Assembly again. The Vice President of the Republic has been elected, sworn in, his salary assigned, and his place of residence allotted to him. The three candidates were MM. Boulay de la Meurthe, Vivien, and Baraguay d'Hilliers; the first was elected with a salary of 48,000f to be lodged at the public expense. The President ii said to he able to do nothing, io feeble are his Ministers, and so characterless the men who surround him. Thiers and statesman of his stamp will not take office in a state of things so uncertain, and a lortof rival government, the experience of which includes the ablest of the Republicans Rouges, and the ramifications of which extend to the extremities ol Prince, is said to exist secietly and will, ere long, talk openly. The precaution* against surprise or revolt are as extensively and as watchfully made as ever. No one can point out where there is danger, but that there is danger is the general feeling. The expedition which is fittiug out at Toulon excites little interest in France and much in other countries. It is to take part with the Sicilians againat Naples ? It is to assist in the Restoration of the Pope ? His Holiness, it eeems will have no French, Spanish, nor Sardinipn aid, all of whom have voluntpeied assistance; if the sword be necessary, he will leave it in the hands of Austria, but Pius IX n< ver doubts the returning reason ot his subjects., and his own recal to the throne, the elective throne of Rome, His Holiness nnd his court remain at Geata. He has published a warning of ex-commu~ nicrtt'on againitthp adheients of the rebel government, it appears to have pioduced but little effect, and is to be iinmediate'y followed up by an interdict should the ri'bel btill retist. They have forbidden masks, forbidden pr estb to explain in their discounes what excoininuniCttHon is, and have imposed a tax of 600,000 crowns on ecc'esiastiral property, have fired on the people, and the diligencies and carriages are rubbed almost as reguLnly as they travel. Yrt Rome i* intliffejent, The Vopc i« believed in the very hearts of the people, Who will yet not obey him as their prince. Sardinia null talks of matching upon Milan. Tuscany is ready for war, Napki can scarcely be withheld from chastising Sicily, Austna besets Vienna and tlueittena Rome ; the conquest of Hungary increasing daily the strength of Ita'lcizki, physical iiul moral, in lluly ; the Italians laving clung to the hoj>e that the valourom Magyais were to clip the wing* of the double eagie.
