Expected Hostilities In Bologna. It Is S...
EXPECTED HOSTILITIES IN BOLOGNA . It is stated that 8 , 000 men , under the command of General Kalbermatten , have marched towards Cattolica from Pesaro , and that an attack is expected every moment . The Momtore de Bologna of the 26 th , without affirming or denying the fact , calls on the people to be calm and confident , as the Government is prepared to meet any eventuality It appears certain that 2 , 000 Swiss ^ wit h several pieces of artillery , have arrived within a short distance of Cattolica , and the Government have received despatches informing them that these are but the advanced guard of the Papal troops . These troops are said to be composed , not but of Modenesewho
merely of Romans , , are favourable to the pretensions of the duke , Swiss from Naples , who have been engaged by the Pope , and Austrian soldiers , who have been disembarked at Ancona , and dressed like the papal army . Altogether they amount to 10 , 000 or 12 , 000 men . Oil the other hand , the Government of the Legations is adopting the most energetic measures . The troops of Mezzacapo are full of warlike ardour . A messenger is sent off to Garibaldi every other day , and that general is gradually advancing from Ferara , so as to be in a position to give effective aid , if the necessity for it should arrive . Telegraphic despatches have since announced that Mezzacapo lias advanced towards Cattolica at the head of his troops , and that the elections have taken place without the slightest disturbance . ¦
The Conference. The Opinione Of Turin St...
THE CONFERENCE . The Opinione of Turin states that the questions arising out of the annexation cf Lombardy to Sardinia are not settled , although they have made progress . Neither has it been decided by France and Austria to treat the question of the duchies directly . The same journal maintains that the settlement of the duchies , so far as foreign Powers are concerned , must be made by a European congress , the proposition of which now meets with less opposition than it did , and "in favour of which the majority of the . great Powers have pronounced . " A Paris correspondent of Le N ~ oi-d states , with great positiveness , that the Emperors of France and Austria signed at Villafranca a formal engagement Avhich expressly provides that neither shall employ arms to restore the sovereigns of Tuscany or Modena .
Napoleon And The Duchies. The Consiituti...
NAPOLEON AND THE DUCHIES . The Consiitutionnel of this day , in an article on the Duchies , says : — " The Emperor , having agreed at Villafranca to the restoration of the former reigning princes , has caused to be heard words of reconciliation in the Duchies . His Majesty has not yet given up all hope of success , and will fulfil loyally to the end his disinterested mission ; but , if he should not succeed in reuniting the princes and the peoples in mutual accord , it is not his intention to force either
the one or the other . It is not the wish of his Majesty to follow the errors of the ancient Austrian policy , whose armed intervention in the affairs of the Peninsula has ceased for ever . We have given to the Italian peoples advice which wo believe wise and prudent , which if they do not follow it will grieve us , but which we could not press upon them by force . To us Italy owes her independence ; we shall not take away again from her what we have given her yesterday . "
Garibaldi And The Duchies. ¦Generai, Gar...
GARIBALDI AND THE DUCHIES . ¦ Generai , Garihaldi arrived at Parma on the 22 nd ult ., and was received with immense enthusiasm by the people , At Parma the number of suffrages in favour of annexation , known up to that date , was 0 , 718 ; at Placentia , 5 , 560 . Count Limit i , Podesta of Pavma , who had been sent on a mission to Paris , has , on returning to Parma , informed his follow citizens that Napoleon III . said to him : — ' Tell the populations that havo sent , you to mo that my arms shall never do violence to their wishes , and that I will not pormit any other foreign force to commit violence against you . " The Tuscan Government has addressed to fho cabinets of Europe a memorandum on the affairs of the Grand Duchy . Tuscany , it is declared in . this aocumont , regretted the termination of the war , which loft the independence of Italy incomplete , but it coincided in the generous policy of the Emperor of the French . The Tuscan Assombly in uoolarlng for the annexation of the duchy to Piodraont has only exorclsod its right , for tho restoration ol the grand duoal dynasty was impossible , and tho programme of the Grand DuUo Ferdinand illusory , in this state of things tho wishos of tho lusoans cannot bo ropolloU without giving rise
to regrettable consequences . The memorandum concludes by an expression of gratitude to the great , powers and a protest against foreign intervention . - . The deputation , conveying the Vote of the Tuscan people for their annexation to Sardinia , left Florence on the 29 th . Orders have been given at Genoa and Turin to receive the deputation with great solemnity . ¦ In Tuscany and in Piedmont by this time most men firmly believe the King of Sardinia will accept the vote of the Tuscans , Modenese , & c , for annexation .
German Unity. A Few Days Ago A Deputatio...
GERMAN UNITY . A few days ago a deputation waited upon the Duke of Saxe ^ Coburg Gotha to present an address , expressing the hope that the duke would unite his efforts to those of the patriotic party for the unity of Germany . The following remarkable answer was returned : —Gentlemen , —It is with the utmost satisfaction that I learn from the address you have just presented to me that here also in this little land of ours the events of the last months , whioh have pressed so heavily upon us , have been rightly judged . Now that after years of the deepest apathy the wish fbr national strength and greatness , for power abroad and union at home , is once more awakened in the people , every patriot must greet this new movement with joyful hope . By whatever ways we reach the desired end , whatever be the . form of the
future constitution of Germany , this much is certain—that it is only when princes and people are alike ready to make sacrifices for the good of all that anything great can be effected . As for me , long since , both on the occasion of the erection of a central power in 1848 , and again on that of the creation of the union in 1850 . I offered of my own free will , and with joyful heart , to lay my sacrifice on the altar of our country . That my patriotic endeavours have received your approval , gentlemen , and that of the German people , has encouraged me to pursue the course I Iiave ' entered on . Be assured that I not only hail with joy the endeavour to form a great "" national party , but that I shall always be ready to participate with counsel and with deeds in all which conduce to procure for our beautiful country that respect and _ might to which Germany has such just claims .
State Of Venice.—*-A Letter In The Const...
State of Venice . —* -A letter in the Constltutionnel gives a deplorable account of the condition of Venice . The indignation expressed at the unlooked-for conclusion of the peace is now said to be succeeded by a profound sorrow . The City of the Doges is as a City of the Dead . Travellers find some difficulty in entering it . New defensive works are in course of erection on the Lido . It is added that at Verona and Mantua , especially the latter , the system of repression is less severe . Lisbon News . — The Cortes will open on the 4 th of November next , The weather still continues hot , and the accounts of the vine disease are as bad as ever ; little or no wine will be made this year throughout the length and breadth of Portugal . The works of the new Water Company have at
length commenced , after remaining in abeyance about three years . If this company carry out the works as they have been projected they will confer a benefit upon the public . At present the only means of water supply is the barrel of the carrier , and if the company convey it by pipes into the houses a great saving will bo effected , and a more regular and plentiful supply secured . Hostilities between bPAiN and Morocco . — The Correspondantia Autografa announces that orders haev been given for the formation of an expeditionary corps of 10 , 000 men . Tho Spanish consul at Tangiers has withdrawn from that place , after having handed a note to the authorities announcing that Spain is decided to havo satisfaction by arms for tho hostilities against Couta .
Turkish Affairs . —Tho Sultan had been on tho point of death from a sevoro attack of fever , but his health is now restored . Tho Journal de Constantinople says tho rumour of tho modification of tho Ministry is unfounded . Letters . from Syria ' to . tho 18 th instant state that fears arc entertained of an extension of tho civil war in that province . Tho Drusos woro devastating tho country by sotting flro to people ' s proporty . Tho Europeans aro said to bo fiyiug from tho town . Sorao silk factories had hoisted tho French flag for protection . Tho French consul hud sent for troops , but tho Turkish forco was insufficient .
Russia : Financial and . Mimtary Arrangements . —It wotild scorn that tho Russian Government aro about to take control of tho funds in % \\ o various banks of tho empire deposited for olmrltablo purposos by tho trustees of clorical and other foundations , or whioh havo to await a decision of a court of law , Through this orde ^' of tho State Council tho amount of capital uvallablo for tho tumporary use ot
the finance minister will be largely extended , and will aid him in perfecting arrangements which it is presumed he has in view . The Russian Government ( says a Warsaw letter ) has given orders to demobilise the first * hree corps d- ' armee placed under the orders of Prince Gortschakoff . This return ' ja peace footing has not been effected by a ukase , but by special orders from the Minister at War , and it seems to be the present intention only to reduce the number of horses in the artillery and waggon train , which are very numerous in the Russian army , and so far as present information goes , that reduction is to affect only the three corps d ' armee in Poland . StPeters
The Russians in the Caucasus . —A . - burg letter of the 20 th inst . says -. —News of a brilliant success obtained by our troops in the Caucasus has arrived -, namely , of the entire submission of Andia and Itchkeria . The intelligence reached the Emperor as he was passing a review . The Russian troops have made more than one expedition into Andia . The first time they went was in 1845 , when they destroyed the fortified villages of the enemy , and carried by assault Andia and Dargo , the residences of Schamyl . They were , however , subsequently obliged to leave the country after supporting cruel privations . Itchkeria , up to the commencement of the year , was almost a terra incognita . last of Vedenethe
The capture , on the 1 st of April , , last refuge of Schamyl , enabled the Russian army to enter the province . These two countries join Daghestan , and form the most inaccessible part of the enemy ' s -territory . Since , the taking of Vedene , the Russian troops have pursued their success , and the inhabitants of Andia and Itchkeria , delivered from , the presence of Schamyl , have made their submission . The plan of the pacification of the Caucasus , which is being carried out , was inaugurated b } r Prince Woroutzoft " , and has been largely extended by Prince Bariatinskii ; and , from the success that has been achieved , it is thought probable that in five years magnificent roads will be made in the Caucasus , and that travellers can pass through the whole
country ayithout danger . CHINA : PROGRESS OF . THE EMBASSIES . The Overland China Mail of the 5 th of July says : — The British , French , and American Ministers left Shanghae for Peking , via the Gulf of Pechelee , on the 15 th of June ; the Hon . Mr . Bruce in H . M . S ., Magicienne , with the Coromandel as tender ; M . de BourbOuJon in H . I . M . S . Du Chayla , with the steamer Norzagaray , and his Excellency Mr . Ward , the United States Minister , in the Powhatan , with the chartered steamer Tocy-wan . Admiral Hope lef t for the Gulf three days before in the Chesapeake , and a large British force , consisting of seven steam ships , 10 gunboats , and 2 troop and store ships were to rendezvous at Sharlui-tien , about fifty miles from the mouth of the Peiho . Every precaution had been taken to force , if necessary , admission to
Peking , and the proper exchange of the ratified treaties .. Between 5 oO and GOO of the Royal Marines , with 100 of the Royal Engineers and a number of seamen were to accompany the Hon . Mr . Bruce ; while abundance of provisions ready for land package , with 200 of the military train coolies , would render the expedition in great part independent of the Chinese These coolies of tho military train arc all llakkas , and were enrolled for service at the taking of Canton , where" they served us most faithfully , and wore known under the title of the " Bamboo Rifles . " From tho attempt made by the Chinese Imperial Commissioners at . Shaiighae , it may be inferred that obstacles will be thrown in the way of admission to Poking ; but thoso have boon overcome , and it is extremely unlikely that tJjo Chinese will have recourse to any overt acts ot opposition .
News From Javast.—"The Last China Mail, ...
News from Javast . —" The last China mail , ' says tho Dibats , " brings us news from Japan to tho fitn of Juno , The intercourse of Europeans with the country was daily becoming more extensive , and is likely in alow yours to effect acomplete-change in its aspect . Tho Emperor , after tho Jirst experiments with the electric telegraph , ordorod tho construction of linos connecting together tho towns ot Ycddo , Nangasaki , Shnoda , and 1-I . ikodadi .
