THE JOURNAL.

TTEDXE SDA Y MORXIXG, 31 AT 3. AcExowLEDGJtzxT. We tender our thanks to our friend Mr. E. H. Fairchild for procuring us a copy of the Louisville Journal, to which paper we are indebted fur the news irom Europe in to-days' paper. The Foeeigx News. We are compelled to omit a large number of advertisements that should have appeared in to-days' paper,, to give place to the all important news. from Europe brought by the Acadia. Notwitstanding its hjnglh and the late hour on yesterday evening nt w hich it came to hand, we arc not disposed to curtail it, but give it to our readers in detail this morning. It is highly important and will be read by all classes with absorbing interest. The difficulties which are breaking forth in Great Britain, if not soon checked, must lead to civil War, and such we think will be result, for it willle observed that the government persists in forbidding the meeting of the chartists.

W-e publish in another column a telegraphic despatch of ihe news brought by the Steamer America, seven days later than be rore received. It is not so full and satisfactory as is desirable, but shows that the revolutionary spirit has also extended itself over Northern Europe, and that rven at St. Petersburg outbreaks have occurred. It will be several days before we shall receive the derails by this arrival; in the meantime we shall continue cur ex facta of news by former vessels as it comes to hand. , Our readers shall hear the whole story. - SFive or six columns of matter already in type for to-dars' paper, is necessarily crowded out by the more important and iatereitinnr intelligence from Europe. We shall clear our galleys of miscell aneous articles which have been in typs for several diys, as soon as possible, several of them hive been standing so long we fear are growing a little old. jK7The Commercial has ben enlarged and is now now printed on a sheet the size of our iate tri-weckly, and issued as aa Evening Paper. The enterprise will no doubt meet with success from our citizens. John Doxkey. We have received the pictorial Joha Donkey, together with all the numbers of that most excellent paper up to the present time, and we intend to file them away for the benefit of those who -but no matter, we shall file them.

Judging from this we should say he is not Kalf as big an an a j some ottiers we could mention. e are making up a club for the Donkey who wishes to subscribe? BOrFrrHUX, the Daguerreotypist, is again in the city and will remain two weeks. On his former vis it he took quite a number of likenesses, the best ever executed here. He returns at' the invitation of a number of our citizens, and will of course find con slant employment for-the short time he will remain. We tender him jur thanks for files of Cincinnati and Louisville papers. , Numbers of country merchants are now in the city purcaasing their spring supplies rinding this mar ket more desirable and convenient than that of the East. Cincinnati Commzrcial. And numbers of country merchants that formerly purchased their spring supplies in your city, Mr. Commercial, now fiiiJ this market ''more durable and convenient than either Cincinnati or any place East nf that. Notwithstanding the hard times, more goods have been received and sold here the present seasjn eo for, than during the whole of last, and country merchants still continue :o arrive. They will buy where they can buy cheapest. 5"The citizens of Cincinnati, we perceive by the papers, arc luxuriating in iced-iviiionnde (colored of course) and ice-craaiu, while our mornings here make .tires and winter clothing feel quite comfortable. This is just the weather for ague and fever and people fchould take care of themselves, and the doctors. JOSoinebody says "Of all poor devils an ignorant men left alone is the most to be pitied " So we think; and if there are any in this community who are likely to be caught in that fix. if .they have not done so already, we advise thorn to subscribe for the Daily Journal at once. "It is not good f jr Man to be alone,"' and the Journal is a first rate companion. Try it. The greenrst thing we have met with in our market this season was the chap who declined to take our Daily Journal because it was so large he had'nt time to read it! We'll admit our daily is gome, but j it don't begin to be as large as a dune in that man s eyes. EvAJTsriLLE Wharf.

Your petitioners, therefore, entreat your honorable house to create between the representative and the represented that salutary responsibillity indispensable to good government, by the 1 restoration of the ancient wholesome practice of annual Parliaments. That your petitioners complain that a seat in the Commons House of Parliement should be contingent upon the possession of property of any description, as they have yet . to learn that legislative talent is the exclusive prerogative ot any order of men; and therefore pray for the abolition id what is termed the "property qualification." That your petitioners respectfully direct your attention to the document entitled, " 1 he Feo pie's Charter," which embodies the principles and details for securing the full and equitable representation of the male adult population, which document th?v earnestly prav vour hon orable house 10 forthwith enact as the law of the realm. Should the members of your honorable bouse entertain any doubts as to the justice of our demands, your petitioners humbly entreat to be beard at the bar of your honorable house by counsel or agent in support of those claims, And your petitioners, 6cc. Rifle clubs are in course of formition. and target shooting is' practised extensively in ail the Uistuibed districts of of Ireland. The Irish confederation has issued on a broad .sheet, price one penny, the speeches for which Messrs, O'Brien and Meagher are being prosecuted by the government. In this form they are distributed" through Dublin in thou: sands every day by venders of catch-pennys. Extensive importations of pikes have taken place from Birmingham, two consignments alone amotnuiii'T to thirty .thousand. These ! are sold only to persons who can give a certain Lag"t brass guns, tiom s-ven 10 louneen pouu ders. are said to have, arrived in Dublin Italy. Ihe riedmontese Lrazclte puaitsnes the-following from the threa're ot war Milan, March 30. "The accounts of this mormuii, wtuch may oe considered as omciai, state that Gen. Bes. at the head of 4,C00 regular troops, aud 7,000 vol, commanded by oiheers ot our statf, tell in with a strong Dotty oi me enemy near Montecliiari. whom he com pletely put to coute, taking a squadron of cavalry, three pieces of cannon, carriages, &c. . "The Austrian army appears desirous to establish itself near Moiitechiari, and wait a pitched battle. They are very short of provision. "The announcement of the capture of the j Viceroy at Rive de Trento. and of the fill of ( Mantua, has heCu confirmed by the Provisicn- . . r. .... ; sonage would be kept in confinement mere, or whether it would be more advisable. to send him to Milan," An offensive and defensive alliance has been finally concluded between the King of Sardiula, the lvillg ol Copies, auu me uiauu wu luscanv. The Milanese have sent a very remarkable . address to Pope Pius IX. .The following are the principal passages: 1 "The grand cause of Italian In dependence, j blessed by your Highness, has also triumphed in our cit v." Wt have sealed it with our blood, : and we rejoice in it, in ine nope mat oioou wili become the water of regeneration for us, aud for the whole of Italy, - "It is iu your name, most Holy Father, that we are to be prepared to litiht; we have inscrib- : ed vour name on our standards and on our bar1 . a V 1 ricades. Deprived of everything, without any j arms but the holiness of our right, we have in j vour name faced our formidable enemies; in vour name. vouii2 and old, women and child ren, have joyfully fought and joyfully died, and now it is in" vdu'r name that we open the joy of our hearts before God, who has given us the victory. . The address then goes 011 to express the idea which animates the whole of the inhabitants of Lombardy that the war shall not terminate until the last Austrian shall have crossed the Alos. The Nation will then, it says, be called on to choose freely its form cf government. "A letter from Rome, says the same journal, -uescribes the groat enthusiasm which reigns in that c'.'y. A complete warara;nst the. ab.-o-lutism had been declared, and a regular crusade organized against the oppressors ot the liberty t-nd independence of Italy. All the troops had marched towards the froniier, as well as-numerous detachments of volunteers. A subscription had been entered into for the equipment of the lattf r. They were offered 15 bayoques a da.v as pav, but they refused, saying they only wajted bread. The Pope sent 50LOOJ francs to tl e. funds; all the religious orders, the nobility, the merchants, and the cardinals ai.-o subscribcoV The people assembled in the publicsquares where -ubscriptions were received; the men gire ihir watches, the women their ear-rinj;s, and chains, and indeed, every ornament they possessed." The f-sme enthusiasm is said to Teign in the provinces. Gen. Durando, it was expected, would, in a few "days, have 5D,000 men under his orders. These volunteers will be concentrated at Bologna, to be ready to march into Loinbar.lv. Our brothers ol Italy need succor, the banner of Pius IX., will soon float in the fields of Lombardy by the side of thess of Piedmont and Tuscany.- The Jesuits are leaving every day; they will soon all have quitted. Ills said the Austrian garrison has evacuated the citadel of Ferrara. The capitalis perfectly tranquil. The civic guard, in the absence of the troops, do all the duty. The law ministry work admirably. Verona, the great strategic key to Lombardo-Venitian kingdom, appears to have become useless. The people have risen and made, themselves masters of the town. The troops have retired into the forts. The vif-ernv hs been blockaded bV the people in his palace, round which they hive p aced an immense quantity of faggots, threatening to hum hi m and his family if a single shot is fired from the forts against the town. It is probable, however, lhat he has escaped from that place, for other accounts state that he has been taken prisoner at xuva.. The triumphs of Venice cannot fall to have a

powerful "effect"" on the other" provinces of the the State. In addition to the places already mentioned as having risen, all the Frioul has asserted its independence. Venice has declared .that it made no pretensions to its ancient sovereignty, but that in proclaiming a republic it only iu tended it as a provisional measure,

and that it will unite itself to the kingdom of Italy when it shall be duly constituted. - -- -A letter from Naples, of the 22J ult., says: "At the news of the events at Vienna, the crew of an Austrian frigate in our roads mutinied, and compelled the captain to hoist the Italian national flag. All the crew were Venitians. They sent four of their Austrian officers out of the ship. It is stated lhat Prince Swartzenburg when the people at Naples tore down and burnt the Austrian arms over the door of his hotel, placed all his most valuable property on board this ship, where it now remains.' Russia. The following has been published at St. Petersburg and received with the greatest enthusiasm: Manifesto of the Emperor. After the benefits of a long peace the West of Europe finds itself at this moment suddenly given over to pertiibations which threaten with ruin and overthrow all legal powers and the whole social system. Insurrection and anarchy, theofTS rin, of France, soon crossed the German frontier, and spread themselves in every direction with an audacity which has gained new force in proportion to the concessions of the Governments. Thisdevastating plague has at last attacked our allies the Empire of Austria and the Kingdom of Prussia, and to-day, in its blind fury, menaces our Russia that Russia which God has confided to our care. But heaven forbid that this should be. Failhful to the example handed down from our ancestors, having first invoked the aid of the Omnipotent, we. are ready to encounter our enemies from whatever side they may present themselves, and, without sparing our own persons, we will know how, indissolubly united to our holy country, to defeud the honor of the Russian name and the inviolability of our territory. "We are convinced that every Russian, tint every one of our faithful subjects will respond with joy to the call of his sovereign. Our ancient war cry for our faith, our sovereign, and our country, will once again lead us on the path of victory, and then,.wiih sentiments of humble gratitude, as now with feelings of holy hope, we wiil all cry with one voice, God is on our side. Understand this, ye people, and submit. for God is on our side.

" They consistcliietlv ol Cossacks and Circassians. The same pa per also confirms the rumors enrreut of disturbances in the Russian part cf Poland, especially at Warsaw. Poland. Prince Adam Czortoriski and other leaders of the last Polish Revolution were at Cologne on the 2Gth, on their way t-j Poland. A correspondent of the Morning Chronicle describes an enthusiastic butdiguined public reception given to the Prince by the authorities and garrison of Aix la Chapelle." .. The Colonel of the Laudwehr was the spokesman. He expressed his pride and" the happin -ss of all at m-?e.tingthe Polis-fi. veteran on Prus sian ground. He then embraced the' Prince in the name of the w hole Prussian army. - The people oj Cologne and the authorities manifested the greatest delight at the sight of him, and the "uthorilies placed a guard of honor at his hotel. He i3suedan address claiming Poland to be free, un privileged, and. democratic, anddeparted for Posen. . The same writer says thai in the journey by the railway, processions to the churches we noticed in ail parts ot tne country. The whole of the persons employed on the railway were armed with sw ords and muskets. It is stated ia the Breslaw Gazette that 150,000 Russians are already concentrated on the Polish frontier, under command of PrincePaskowitch. It is also represented that 30,000 have suddenly been called to the same frontier from the Caucasus. Spain Attempted Revolution An insurrection occured at Madrid on lh night of the 2Sth ult. A plan had been formed to overthrow the ministry bymeansofau insurrectionary movement, in which it was'expected the military would have remained passive spectators. The leaders of the movement havingsubsequentiy discovered that the troops were det'rmined to resist, countermanded the orders they had given to the people. The latter, however, who had been wrought uptothv hihe-t pitch of excitement, declared that they were betrayed, and that thy. would fight ev-t n without leaders. I hey accordingly assembled about 6 o'clock on tht afternoon of the 2'jih, and commenced erecting barricades, which were completed in an incredible short space of time. The fighting commenced at 7 o'clock in the evening, and continued without intermission until 3 in the morning, when the military were succesful on a 1 sideband a number of the insurgents were captured. Two hundred civilians and military are said to have been killed and a vast number waunied. An -English gentleman named Whiuvelt was said to be among the victims. The Queen Mother quitted Madrid during the disturbances. The Madrid Gazette.of the27th contains two decrees the 1st, suspending the constitution throughout the entire monarchy; the 2d, commanding that the insurgents captured during the preceding night shall be forthwith tried by court martial. The Herald says the loss of the rebels exceeds 150 wounded and 30 kiiIed,althou"gh no official data has yet been published. The prisoners to be tried by the council of war, were 218 in number. The council of war condemned to death two of the prisoners made on the 23th. The Queen has however portioned them. r'-.
