Austria And Hungary. Visska, September3....
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . _Visska _, September 3 . —General Haynau . arrived at Perth on the night of the 30 th ult . He * wa 8 received at the terminus by a municipal deputation , headed by the _bu-rgeraiister Roller , -who made a speech of welcome , to which the commander-in-• _cM-i _*! rvjA _\& . & . VrraA rt music _pla-jed the People ' s Hymn . From the _fcrminus to the _Karoly-palace , municipal hussars , with lighted torches , rode on either side of the general ' s carriage . On alighting he -was received hy the officers of the garrison with loudcheers . As if to show thatthe hangman is Haynau ' _s shadow , theofficial journal of Pesth follows that
up the announcement of arrival by stating , on the following day , in the new market-place , Ko & suth notes to the amount of 142 , 071 florins , were burned by the _public executioner . The whole nominal value of this"p _** per which had been destroyed at Pesth was l , 4 J 3 , 043 fl . As this _i-ias the money in which the Pesth tradespeople got paid for their goods , the affection which they bear to General Haynau may be easily conceived . Shortly after his arrival a placard appeared thanking the citizens iu his name for the honour thus designed to show their joy at his return , hut dispensing them from that demonstration ; and adding thatthe best token which they could give of -their desire to oblige him would be strenuously to maintain order .
On the same day on which Haynau returned to Pesth , a military execution took place . _Georg Fulop , notarj of Danaveese , was shot , according to sentence of court-martial , for participation in the insurrection and concealment of arms . According to tbe ¦ _Montags Zeitung , ' _twelve superior officer * of tbe Hungarian army were condemned to be executed at the Austrian bead-quarters at Temesvar ; but on the arrival of the emperor ' s aidede-camp , _Gsn-ral Gruune , their execution was deferred ; and their trial will be transferred from the summary jurisdicrion of a drnm-hsad court-martial to the more formal tribunal of a council of war . Haynau is expected in Vienna on the 11 th .
The Prussian * * Steals Anzeiger , ' of the 6 th Sep . lember , says , in an article dated Semlin , August 27 , ' The day before yesterday the remainder of the Magyar troops stationed between Orsov * and Mehadia were reduced , and laid down their arms unconditionally . T * o legions , an Italian and Poliih , fled to _Servia , where , however , they were received roughly , and obliged to retire further into the interior of Turkey . ' The brother of the late Count Zichy has inierfed an article in several papers , in which he declares that , although government has been pleased to show mercy to Georgey for his political offences , it is not in its power to pardon a murderer , and tbat he , as the next of kin to the deceased , demands tbat George ; be brought to trial for tbe crime committed under his directions .
Venice has lost iis privilege as a free port hy its obstinate refusal to become part and parcel of the Austrian dominions . For the time being the island St . Giorgio Mag-pore is to be the utmost limit of these rights . This measure has long been in contemplation , but no sufficient motive for making the alteration occurred till now . Vienna , Sepiesiber 5 . —The Polish and the Italian legions , under Wysowski and _Benitzki _, have already passed unmolested through the Servian territory , baring previously laid down arms , and they are marching from Fetistam to "Widdin . Kossuth , with his companions , met with no recaption from the Pasha of Ada _Kalesi , below Orsova ; he continued his flight down the Danube ia a very well equipped bark , that held about forty men ; the passengers sailed under the Turkish _fisg .
Coiioas . —The' Press' _sats the negotiations respecting the _sufiemlet of the fortress were broken off . A council of war was sitting in the fortress , at which K ' apka presided , and in which several civil commissioners took part , to discuss the draft of a treaty of capitulation , but which contains conditions such as only a victor might address to his fallen enemy . One paragraph among others declares , A full and entire amnesty is granted to the Magyars . ' Kiapka in vain endeavoured to introduce reasonable amendments to the civil commission above mentioned . The end of all this , we are given to understand , is that tbe Austrian General Esorich , whose headquarters are at Dotis , has ordered his soldiers to occupy their positions round tbe fortress .
The speedy surrender of Comorn is much questioned here , and as a proof to the contrary , it is asserted that Kiapka has caused the fortress to be supplied with food for the winter within the last few days . The * Warsaw Courier' of the 5 th announces tbe submission of the Magyar corps under Kosinsky , composed of 12 , 000 men and 56 cannon . Tbis corps laid down their arms on the 25 th August , before the
Russian General Grotenbjelm , the reduction of the fortress of Munkacz on the 26 th , to the corps ot Gen . Karfo witch ; and , lastly , the delivery up ofall the prisoners of war , and the provisions of Georgey ' s corps by Gen . Rudiger to the Austrian commissioner . The report concludes thus : -At this moment all tbe Hungarian fortresses , with tbe exception of Comorn and Peterwardein , are in the hands of the allies , and all the troops , with the exception of a few small hands . *
VIB . VSA . —General Haynau arrived at Vienna on the 6 th inst ., and it now appears pretty certain that he will not return to Hungary . Various rumours are afloat as to his fnture destination ; some say that he will he appointed Governor of Vienna , others Commander-in-Chief in . Styria , others in Italy , and others again in the Voralberg . The sister of Kossuth , and her husband , M . Kutkay , have heen arrested and taken to Presburg . It is said that important documents , relative tj the Hungarian insurrection were found in their possession . A correspondent in the 'German Reform' pretends to know from authority , tbat Georgey wiil enter the army in the Caucasus as a volunteer . Marshal
Eadelziki is expected to meet the Emperor at CiUi , and to accompany him on his tour , and to return with his Majesty to Vienna . The question of the recognition cf Hungary fully occupied the attention ofthe Cabinet Council . According to the ' German Reforme' they will not decide the question before the arrival of Radetski , Haynau , snd Jellachich . The majority of the council seem disposed to grant to Hungary all the political and administrative concessions that may be compatible with the charter granted oi the 4 th March , and to abstain from any measures in regard to the introduction of the system of centralisation . It is hinted tbat some of the ministers are disposed to accord a distinct _constitu .
tion to Hungary , but this is not very likely to be true . Another patty its . the _covbtcU , among whom are specified the Ministers of the Interior , Justice , and Public Instruction , are , on the contrary , in favonr of the rigorous enforcement of the constitution of March 4 th . The residence of each of the ministers is to be furnished with a telegraphic bureau _, which will communicate with the central bureau . A contract is about to be included for the prolongation of the Prussian telegraph from Oderberg to Kinna . All the Russian troops are expected to leave Hungary and Transylvania , with the exception
of the third army corps under General Rudiger , which is concentrated at Kaschau andEperies . The « Prague _Zeitang' of September 5 th , says : •—• It has now been ascertained upon unquestionable authority that Kossuth , Dembinski , and Mesyaros _*** are at Widdin , under the protection of the Turkish , Pacha . They had previously placed themselves under British protection , and _signiflnd their intention to emigrate to England . The intervention of the British Consul has in consequence been exercised , and the liberty of their persons demanded . Arthur Von Georgey has for several days past been at Gratz , in the fell enjoyment of liberty . '
Viekxa , Sept . 7 th—The neighbourhood of Comorn is still in the hands of the Hungarians - and while on the one hand proportions of the garrison leave the fortress io lay down their arms , on tbe other hand fresh bands of Honveds , flock to supply their place . The truce with the fortress has been prolonged for a -week . Kiapka and other officers have left the precincts ofthe fort , and gone fo the Imperial camp at Dotis , seeing the impossibility of obtaining the ascendancy over a garrison still bent on resistance . Count Paul Esterhazy is spoken of as the present head of the garrison— -a violent advocate of ' no surrender . ' -Nugent is ever drawing closer the ring of besieging troops about Comorn ; and the communication across the Danube is reestablished .
The Hungarian fortress of Munkacs surrendered _anconditionally to tbe Russian general _Karlo-vics on the 27 th ult . The garrison consisted of 32 officers , and 329 soldiers , of the 91 st Honved battalion , 21 cannon , and 520 muskets , while supplies of -muni tion and -victualling were found in the fortress . Colonel Prince Wassitcbikoff is charged witb the _Selnery of the keys of the fortress to the Austrian emperor . * - .-The' Siebenburger Bate , or Tr ansykanian Messenger' states tbat Dembinski , Messaros . and
Austria And Hungary. Visska, September3....
Messiest ( Kossuth ' s brother-in-law , ) with eighteen otber emigrants , chiefly Poles ,. reached Tarnul Severino , through Orsovra , on the 14 th . On the 16 th , Moritz and Nicolas Perczel , with theVicegespann Mackay ; on the 18 th Kossuth , Bukowich , and the dragomen of Kossuth ; on the 19 th the leader of the national guard , Fischer , and Major Count Dembinski , with his wife , arrived at the same place . ; With -the exception of Moritz and Nicolas Perczel , all the refugees called one another by fictitious names , bnt were partly identified by the authorities , to whem personal descriptions of the chief personages had heen sent , and partly betrayed by their servants . Besides these , seventytwo , refugees of inferior rank , hare been brought into Tarnul Severino .
The sister of Kossuth and her husband , M . Kutkay , have been arrested and taken to Presburg . Haynau reached Presburg at _midnight on the oth inst . by a steamer from Raab . He waa received at the landing-place witb great ceremony by the officers of the garrison and the civil authorities , and bands of music played the People ' s Hymn . Haynau has received the grand cross of the order of St . Andrew in brilliants , together with a complimentary letter from Nicholas , Emperor ot Russia .
FRANCE . Paris , SATURDAT .-The President has sent tbe following letter to Col Edgard Ney _, his officer d _' ordonnanceat Rome : — , 1 Q . 'Elysee National , 18 th August , 1849 . My dear Ney , —The French Republic has not sent an army to Rome to strangle Italian liberty ; but , on the contrary , to regulate it , and preserve it from excesses , and on a solid basis to restore to the Pontificial throne the Prince who at first ; placed himself boldly at the head of all useful reforms .
' I learn , with pain , that the benevolent intentions of the Holy Father , aud our own deeds , remain unfruitful in consequence of the influence of passion and hostile feelings . It is wished to bave , as tbe basis of the Pope ' s return , proscription and tyranny . Say , on my part , to General Rostolan , that it cannot be permitted , under the shadow of the tricolour flag , to commit au act derogatory to the character of our abnegation . ' I sum up thus the re-establishment of the temporal power of tbe Pope—a general amnesty , the secularisation of the administration , the Code Napoleon , and a liberal government .
• I have been personally hurt , on reading the proclamation of the three Cardinals , to see that it has not even made mention of the name of France , or of the lufferings of our brave soldiers . Every insult offered to our flag or to our uniform goes right to my heart ; and I beg you to make known to tbem . that if France does not sell her service , she requires at least that she may bave gratitude for her sacrifices and self-denial , 'At tbe time when our armies made the tour of
Europe , they left everywhere , as the traces of their passage , tbe germs of liberty , and the destruction of the abuses of the feudal system . It shall not be said that , in 1849 , a French army has acted in another manner , and brought about another result . 'Desire the General to thank the army in my name for its noble conduct . I have learned with pain that , even physically , it has not been treated as it deserved to be . Nothing should be neglected to make our troops comfortable ,
• Receive , my dear Ney , the assurance of my sincere friendship . Louis Napoleon Buonaparte . ' It seems that for some time a great coldness had arisen between General Rostolan aud the cardinals , on the score of the tribunal which bad been chosen to try all those who had in any way meddled with the revolution . In the proclamation , in wbich this tribunal was announced , the extraordinary pretension had been put forward ofthe reconstitution ofthe
real inquisition , charged to seek out crimes or offences committed against religion , and against the authority of the Pope . The real object was to act with severity against the immense majority of the Roman people , to eHteron a career of denunciations , and to open a great political prosecution , in which every inhabitant ofthe Roman States would have to appear in bis turn , and this at a time when the French government was talking of an amnesty and _forgstfulness of the past .
The coldness arising from this difference was increased by one of etiquette . On being invested with the title of general-in-chief , the French commander had paid an official visit to the Quirinal ; he waited in vain for two days for it fo be returned ; at the end of the time the commission sent for him to make a communication . General Rostolan declared that if the -Jardinals did not return his visit in two hours , he should feel himself compelled to establish the respect due to his uniform , and to his official position . The commission at length decided on returning his visit , but it is said that information was sent off to Gaeta of the incident , remarking that if the commission yielded as lo a question of form , it was
determined not to give way on' the question itself . Such was the state of things when a French general arrived at Rome , bearing the confidential letter to M . Edgard Ney . M . de Rayneval , who read it , thought it most timely , and tbat it should be at once published . But he had no sooner communicated it to General Rostolan than that * officer felt hurt at its not having heen written to him , refused to have it published , and then gave in his resignation . M . de Rayneval then went , at the request of Col . Ney , to the Quirinal , and communicated , in a non-official manner , tbe contents of the letter to the commission of cardinals . He begged them to
authorise its insertion in the official journal . The cardinals at first consented to it , bnt after a few hoars consideration they revoked tbat decision , withdrew tbe authorisation , and formally declared that if that wish was disregarded they would resign their functions and leave the city . During , however , the few hours which elapsed between the granting andthe withdrawal of . the authorisation , the letter had become the subject of general comment ; a few moments of authorised publicity was sufficient for numerous copies to get into circulation * aud an effect as rapid as profound was caused . The army , in particular , read it with avidity .
It is not known what tbe Pope will do under these circumstances , 'La Presse' states tbat General Rostolan has been recalled from Rome , and is replaced by General Randeu . The * Gazette de France" of last evening has been seized ; on a charge of having attacked Republican institutions and the Constitution , in an article signed Alexandre Remy . This journal is strongly Legitimist . Paris , _Monuay . —• _« La Patrie' contradicts the rumour that M . de Falloux had quitted Paris in consequence of hi 3 -disapproval of the letter of the President of the Republic to Colonel Ney .
"Letters from Toulon of the 6 th mention the arrival there of the steamer Cerberus from Civita Vecchia with a number of sick . According to these letters the Pope was as obstinate aa ever in refusing concession . This was said to be owing to the King of Naples , who scarcely ever lost sight of him , and also to the Cardinals . Measures were taken in Rome for the more complete installation of the French army , as if an indefinite occupation were meditated . Paris , Tuesday . —By a decree , of the President ofthe Republic , published ia the ' Moniteur / M . de Falloux resumes his functions of Minister of Public Instruction , which had during his _absence iu the country been performed by M . Lanjuinais , Minister of Public"Works .
The ' DLxDecembre ' states that M . de Falloux approved of the letter of the President of the Republic in the warmest and most explicit terms when it was submitted to the council , and that he _evan said , ' I would sigh such a letter with both hands . ' ' La Presse' admits that it was premature in announcing the recallof General Rostolan * The order for his recall only left Paris on Monday . It adds , that General Rostolan , aware that he was about to be recalled , had transmitted his resignation to the Minister of War .
Tbe Tribunal of First Instance , in virtue of the law of the 10 th Vendemaire , year four , has sentenced tbe coromnne of _Onllins { Rhone ) to pay 398 , 669 f . to the Director of tbe Penitentiary of that place for damage done to the establishment on the 28 th and 29 th of February , 1848 , "when it was pillaged and burned by the Revolutionists . An absolutist correspondence from Gaeta , mentions that Pope _Piusi on the letter being
communicated to him by Cardinal Antonelli , folded his hands , and fell back in mute astonishment . And that he subsequently resolved to persevere iii this mute way of treating Louis Napoleon ' s officious letter . He thus puts tbe French in a sad dilemma . He compels Louis Napoleon to enact the old part bf Napoleon the Great towards the popedom , . that ii , govern it in the absence of the Pope . The pontiff , there' is no doubt , takes up his permanent quartets " atPottici . * .
Paris , Wednesday .- —Letters from Rome of the 4 th inst . represent the state of afiairs there and at Gaeta as of the most- unfavourable kind ,: and a _ropture was regarded as imminent . The letter of
Austria And Hungary. Visska, September3....
the President had given occasion for new recriminations . ' La Patrie' confitms the report of the nomination of -General Rauden to the command of the army in Rome . It is untrue that the retirement of General Rostolan was occasioned by the President ' s letter ; that officer bad determined on quitting the command before the letter was written , owing to the difficulties he met with from the Pontifical Commission . M . Lourion , one of the national representatives , accused of having participated in the insurrectionary movement of the 13 th of June , has written to M . Baroche , the _Attoruey-General , to apprise him of his intention to surrender for trial on the 8 th of October .
Seven Socialists , who were arrested on Monday , the 27 th ult ., at an eating-house , established by the Association oi Cooks , were released from confinement on Tuesday .
ITALY . ROME , August 31 . —A letter from Trieste , in the' Patrie , ' announces that _Gariba'di has succeeded in taking refuge in Daltnatia , among the Montenegrins of the mountains . The ' Giornale di Roma' of the 1 st publishes a decree of the 31 st ult . from General Rostolan , prohibiting assemblages of people in the streets , and manifestations of any kind , threatening transgressors with the punishment prescribed by law . Private letters , published by tbe Tuscan Monitore , ' state , as the reason of this decree , that the Romans wished to make a demonstration in favour of General Rostolan aud the French , aud against the government commission of tbe three cardinals , to prevent which General Rostolan issued the above decree . The « Giornale di Roma' further contains a
decree , signed by tbe French _Prefect of Police , Le Rouxeau , reviving the law of the 9 th June ,-18 * 11 , which has never been revoked , and prescribes certain police regulations concerning passports and permits of residence . The * Piedmontese Gazette , ' quotes letters from Rome of the 1 st , stating that the Swiss , guard is restored , and mounts guard at the Vatican . The finances were in a desperate state ; on the 31 st ult . there was not enough in the coffers to pay the commissariat of the army , and it was not till three p . m . that 2 , 000 scudi were scraped together to pay the contractor for bread , M . Carloni , who bad refused to furnish the troops for that day if he was not paid that sum .
The » Concordia' of Turin , of the 7 th , states , from Rome , 2 nd inst ., that Gen . Rostolan having f estoied several persons to liberty whom the cardinals had got arrested , the latter remonstrated . General Rostolan answered tbat he would do so whenever persons were arrested without a reason being given ; and that , for tbat purpose , he would set French soldiers to guard the prisons , which was accordingly done . Tbe cardinals then threatened to choose other places for prisons . Gen . Rostolan answered , it was their undoubted right to do so , as it was his to send French soldiers there . Letters from Naples of the 4 < h , state that M . de Rayneval had succeeded in exacting some liberal concessions from the Pope , with which he had started for Rome on the preceding day .
VENICE . —The ' Venice Gazette' oi the 31 st ult . contains a notification , dated the 30 tb , by which General Gorzkowski allows coffee-houses and public _placfls to rema _' n open tjUI one p . m . By a decree of the same date the _papee-money of Venice , now reduced to half its nominal value , is to be exchanged for Treasury hills , which ate to he current throughout the _Lomberdo-Venetian kingdom . . Marshal Radetzbi arrived at Venice on the 28 th with Archduke Sigismimd . After reviewing the troops on the square of St . Mark , the Marshal and his suite entered the cathedral and heard mass .
Private advice from Vienna , dated September 6 th , state that Radetski _waf extremely well satisfied with his reception at Venice . On the 30 ih the Marshal went iu a steamer from Malghera to the Canal Reggio , where he entered a gondola which had been prepared for bim . The thunder of the cannon from the land batteries and ( he ships saluted him as he disembarked at the Place of St . Mark , where he inspected the troops , who , as usual , received him ttith the most enthusiastic shouts . The Patriarch and the Common Council afterwards delivered the keys of the city into his hands . ( They have already been brought here by one ot the Archdukes . ) The Place of St . Mark was illuminated in the evening . The
idea of employing _twenty-four-pounders as mortar * was suggested by a Frenchman . When it is considered that from the 1 st of May up to the period of the capitulation 10 S _. 515 projectiles were _employed against Malgbera and Venice , 59 , 300 of which were massive and 49 , 200 hollow , much less damage has been done than might have been expected . — -Times . The last blow has been dealt upon Venice . The privilege of that city as a free port has been withdrawn , or which is the same thing , is confined to the little isle of San Giorgio Maggiore . Thus the only prop which stayed that noble city from ruin , has been snatched away ; andthe sum of what little Commercial prosperity it latterly enjoyed will be swept over to its loyal rival Trieste .
PIEDMONT . —The Turin journals ofthe 4 th inst . announce that the funeral service in memory of King Charles Albert , celebrated on the previous day liy order of the municipality , was attended by an immense multitude of people . All the members of the corps diplomatique were present , and the four legions of the National Guards were toa man under arms . The discussions in both Chambers presented no interest . M . Morosi , president of the National Assembly of Venice ; M . Varre , secretary of that Assembly ; Messrs . Angelo Papadopoli , Comello , Mircoviz , and other Venetian citizens , had arrived at Genoa .
SWITZERLAND . The ' DeutscheAllgemeine Zeitung' ofthe 6 ih inst . says that a collective note had been sent from the three northern great powers , with the approval of the French cabinet , td the Swiss dirt . Its information is derived from Berne , where the _contsnts of the note were discussed in certain circles , and by which it would appear that the principality of Neufchatel is demanded back for the King ' of Prussia .
The French authorities have declared that tbey would not for the future allow any German fugitives coming from Switzerland "to take either Paris or Lyons in their route . The English ambassador also in Switzerland had , in consequence of instructions to that effect , been obliged to refuie passports to several fugitives , such as Itzstein , Sachs , and others ; Raveaux obtained one quite exceptionally , in consequence ofhis previous position as ambassador himself .
GERMANY . PRUSSIA . — Beii-lin , _September 5 .. —The Oldenburg Chamber has rejected , by a majority of one vote * ( twenty-one to twenty ) , the government proposition for adhering to the' Triple' Alliance , The Grand Duke having accompanied his daughter , the Queen of Greece , part of the way to Munich a courier was despatched with tbe news , and it now remains to be seen whether his Royal Highness will dissolve the Chamber , or whether the Ministry will
resign . Tbis rejection has caused considerable sensation , as a contrary issue was expected after the adhesion of Hamburg and Bremen . ' The Chamber of Anhalt , Dessau , and Coethe ' n' have , ou lhe other hand , acceded tothe union under certain reserves . Frankfobt , September ( 3 . —In consequence , of a note sent in by the Prussian government requiring a definite answer , within a limited period , whether the government of this freeeity intends joining tbe three Kings' Alliance or not , difficulties of many kinds bave sprung up . . > ¦ . < ¦ _,, ¦¦ . _•¦ _...- ¦¦ ¦' .
An _account given in the * Cologne Gazette' of the 8 th inst . sayi that tbe greatest' confusion orevails in the councils of the govermnent , in consequence of Prussia s peremptory demand ; that the senate bad appointed a committee to deliberate on the subject , and that it had , forthe sake of preserving its neutrality if possible , sent Schoeff and Dr . Haraier , the syndicus in all haste to Berlin . - ¦ : -B * u ; w , _September f . —Tbe King of Prussia will meet the Emperor of Austria to-day at Toplitz , where these two . sovereigns will hold . an interview , which is expected to exercise great influence over tbe destiny of Germany , and not less over that of their own dynasties . The King of _Prussians
accompanied by General Gerlacb , a personage whose name alone is sbfficient to inspire all but the extreme reactjpnary party with the deepest misgivings . General Gerlacb is , in Prussia , the symbol ofall tbat is most distasteful to the people . In him . the narrowest religions bigotry is united to the most absolutist political principles .. Yesterday and today there has been an animated debate in the Second Chamber on the German question . The resiilt was a striking defeat of the Russian party . The first paragraph' of ttie _*' proposition of the committee ; _« Wc _& ' expresses tbe Chamber ' s consent to the league formed with the governments of Saxony and Hanover ; _andihe second , which declares the readineas of the Chamber to % \ n ita fattest support to
Austria And Hungary. Visska, September3....
the government in the _course adopted on this question , as far as laid down in the documents communicated , were carried by 291 against 3 ( Jungman , Reichensperger , and Ebert . ) The third paragraph , which allows the application of the llltb article of the Prussian constitution of December 5 th to the German constitution to be formed by the allied governments in agreement with the Reichstag , was carried by a majority of 221 against 73 . ln the minority were _KAeist-RecUow , Reichensperger _, GountRenard _, Count Stolberg , Duke of Ratibor , Count _Mons , Bismark Schonbauscn , Count Canitz , & c , and , in fact , the whole strength of the Russian party . It is hence visible that the attempt to bring this party into power , when they only owe the size of their present minority to the fact of the demo * cratic party entirely abstaining from voting , would be little less than madness . .
_ Hesse-Darmstadt bas adhered to the league , of tbe three kings . The ratification of adhesion arrived vesterday . The next events to be looked for in the ' German political world , are the decisions of _thellanovarian and Saxon Chambers with regard to the incorporation of their respective states in the Prussian _Bundestaat . Bebii . v _, Sept . 9 .-The debate on the revision of tbe constitution opened yesterday in the First Chamber . On the first article being discussed , _Potworowski thought it better to wait for the ' proposition of the government before the house came to any decision with regard to Posen . fle Pro _« tested against tbe absorption of Posen into the Bunde 8 . 8 taat , and appealed to articles 1 , 3 , and 22 of the Vienna treaties . Manteuffel held that Posen
had no right to challenge any separate political existence . Bruggemann spoke against the proposed line of demarcation . Articles 1 and 2 were passed unchanged . Tbe windows of many of tbe printshops here are crowded with lithographic representations of the butcheries at Rastadt . The execution of the fine yonng man , Max Dortu , seems to be one of the most moving subjects of this sort . Under the print are tlie words which he is said , to have addressed to his executioners . * ' Aim well , brothers . ' BAVARIA , Sep . 7 . —The land commissary of the Palatinate at Spires has extended the prohibition of political clubs to the so-called Pius clubs , which measure seems to have struck no small . degree of terror into tbe hearts of the _Ultra-mountahials oi the Palatinate .
GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN . —The Augsburg Gazette' of the 7 th is informed from its correspondent , at Rastadt that up to the 31 st ult ., for a week past , not a single person has been shot ; the informant says that even Jansen and Bernigau , both under sentence of death , are actually alive , so likewise _DinkeJ , the latter , iudeed , being permitted to have a draught of fresh air within the walls of his prison . He . says however , that this improved state of things will not last long , slow as the investigations are now progressing . The description of the captives still languishing at the expiration of many weeks , on their couches of straw , the foul air and stench of their dungeons , the sad state of disease among them , their wants of requisite covering—all these things require speedy help ere cholera and typhus make their appearance .
The ' Deutsche Zsitung' of the 6 th inst ., says , great numbers of the captive insurgents at Rastadt attempted on the 4 th to escape by disarming the sentinels and forcing the gates ; their efforts were frustrated by the troops on duty , and measures were taken to _present a recurrence of similar attempts . Two of tls insurgents have lately been sentenced to ten yean confinement , It is noi a little remarkable that whilst the troops
of other states are leaving the duchy , Prussian troops are takiig up important positions , particularly in the vichity of the Swiss frontier . There are grounds for . believing that Prussia will-not demand the repossession of its ex-principality of Neufchatel , provided an indemnity for it be given _; and the Swiss executive pledge itself to put down the revolutionary _propaganda in the confederation . The executive _hasalready charged General Dufour with amission to Prussia .
HESSE HOMBURG .-The Prince of Hesse Hoxburg has just acceded to the constitution . OLDENBURG . —The Diet of this grand duchy was dissolved on the morning of the 3 rd inst . by the Minister of State , Schloifer . The cause was the German question , on which the ministers were beaten by a majority of one . RHINE PROVINCES .-Latest news from Cologne to tbe 8 th inst , Dr . Gootscbalk has fallen a victim to the cholera raging-bore .
RUSSIA .. The following notification has been published in several of tbe governments of West Russia . _*— ' From three to four thousand portions ( ueastok ) of land have been assigned for as many Jewish families in tbe governments of Minsk , Witebsk , Mohilin , and Grodno , and those Jews who shall be willing to devote themselves to agriculture shall raise a sum of money from the crown , according to the law of
March 5 , 1847 . These would have a farther privilege of exemption from recruiting and all taxes for several years . Such persons , therefore , as are desirous to engage in agriculture in any of the above governments , are to send in their petitions to the civil government , stating their income , family , & c , who will carry their wishes into execution , since it is the desire of the government io settle a large number of Jews on these lands during the present year .

MALTA . September 2 . — -On the departure of Mr . More O'FerfaU for England , Colonel Jones , of the Royal Engineers , assumed the civil government , in addition to the command of the troops . A letter from . _Patras , says : — ' We have had a great influx of Poles , Italians , and Hungarians , from Ancona , Civita Vecchia , and other places . The Greeks have behaved most nobly towards them * , two subscriptions , one of 1 , 200 , and another of 1 , 000 drachmas , have been raised , to help them or : their _Wy to Athens arid the levant . The town of Patras found them lodgings and food during tbeir stay , and provisions for their journey . At least 500
of these unfortunate exiles have landed on the shores of the Morea . The Greeks received them with openarras , and in a most sympathising manner ; and considering they are still very poor , tbe amount of their subscriptions was very handsome . The Greeks considered it a duty to make some return for the kindness shown their nation when they were endeavouring ' to free themselves from the Turks , and their present _conductfought to remove the charge of ingratitude under which tbey have been unfairly labouring for many years . Their conduct is that of a nation with free and high-born notions , and contrasts sadly with the difficulty aud refusal to land thrown in the way of the refugees by the governments of Corfu . ahd'Malta /
The " poor creatures who came here from Cevita Vecchia ia . the Maltese barque still remain onboard her ( except some dozen , who have died brokenhearted and of starvation ) in the quarantine harbour , without being permitted any communication witb the shore : Amongst them are several females . We have hitherto looked upon the government of Naples as tbe very aemt ? of intolerance and oppression , but the general and' well-founded opinion here now is , that snore _eruel . ti'eatment than , these poor refugees bave experienced lit tbe hands of the Malta government , could never ha ,, je emanated from any other government in _exietenceV It is , a foul , blot upon tbe flag of Britain , and w"ill require more so * phistry ; than Mr .

intelligence of a very serious / outbreak in Cephalonia . By tbe statements made ! to '; { me'it appears that , as early as th _¥ , 19 ih August , infdrmation was received bythe police ; that thfe no ' toriou ' s Viacco , in conjuiic Hon -with the . brothers / Georgia and Michaele , Pierato , Caralambo ,. _Voiky and other individuals known to have been implicated in the affair of September last year , were collecting arms and ammunition in the district of Leo , that nightly meetings of Contadini were held in the house of Papa Gregona Nodaro , and that attempts were making by him and others to excite the inhabitants of the neighbouring villages to take part in a movement , tbe objects of which are not yet defined , but which appear tb have
partaken of the same mixed character as the movement of September , 1848—a vague political excitement being engrafted upon a desire of plunder , and wish to gratify feelings of personal vengeance , excited by local feuds . Under these circumstances , the police , after searching various houses in the villages of Ranzacli and Scala for arms , summoned , on the 26 th August , the Papa Gregoria Nodaro , and several other persons of bad repute , to attend at Argostoli , undtr the powers of the ordinary Police Act , in order to give an account of their conduct ; and , at the same time , sent down a reinforcement to the police picket at Scata , consisting of a sergeant and two constables , who were _way-laid , and fired
at upon the road by a party of twelve men . " The sergeant was wounded and one of the constables killed . This appears to have been tbe commence ' ment of the intended rising , for the following day , August 27 . All _commanications with Argostoli were cut off , the police reports intercepted , and the police themselves driven out of Scala by a band of armed men , who fired from fifteen to twenty shots at them on their way to the beach , where they were fortunately enabled to take refuge in a Guarda Costa boat . I wish tbat it were in my power to state to your highness that the excesses committed by these ruffians stopped here . Unhappily , it is my duty to add that one of the most respectable and respected
citizens of that district , Cavaliere Metaxan Zannato , having given umbroge to the insurgents , as it is supposed , by transmitting to Argostoli a letter , which was intercepted , and which contained some account of their designs , his house was surrounded , and he himself burnt alive in it with two of bis servants . The life of bis son-in-law , Dr . Demetrio Loverdo _Zuganato _, who was also with him , was spared ; but he is detained a prisoner , and a large ratlSOHi is demanded for his release , The last accounts state that the house of Signor llodoteo Metaxa Zannato , at Scala , bas also been burnt ; that the houses of other Si gnori are threatened ; that the people of Leo , when the packet
sailed , were on their way to burn fhe house of Signore Battista Metaxa at _Valtes ; that the movement of the contadini was gradually spreading , there being between three hundred and four hundred men in arms , amongst whom were many strangers ; and that the well affected were forced to join them by threats of violence to their families and property in the event of a refusal . I need not point out to your Highness the absolute necessity of putting a stop , instantly , to such a state of things _. No matter what tbe cause of it be—be it public or private—be it partly political , and partly , as I am inclined to believe , the fruit of their local feuds , with which the island of Cephalonia has so long
b _» en cursed , —this insurrectional movement must be put down , or the reign of law will be over , and the government will be disgraced . 1 shall , therefore , use at once , all the powers confided to me by the constitution in such cases _; and shall direct the proclamation of _martial-law throughout the district to which the movement has already extended , and in any ether district to whicli it may spread , A strong detachment of troops will proceed to Argostoli this evening , by the Ionia , and your Highness may rely upon it , that no effort will be wanting on my part , or on that of tbe galla ? . t officer who commands her MajestyVforces , to restore , at once , the authority
of the general government , and to give to the well disposed end peaceful population of Cephalonia , that prompt and effectual protection on the part of her Majesty ' s government , which they are entitled to expect . I regret the necessity of these measures , ffutl am confident that your . Highness , and the senate , will feel with me , tbat , as these misguidfid men have disregarded the warning given in the recent amnesty , and construed the leniency ofthe government into weakness , they must now be made to feel its strength . I bave the honour , ' H . G . Ward , L . II . C . His Highness Sp . _Poeca Ste / _ano , President of the Senate . '
The following reply , dated tbe same day , was sent by the President of tlie Senate t « Corfu , 30 th August . ' Excellency , —I have communicated to the senate in its extraordinary meeting of to-day the note which your excellency did me the honour to address to me under this date . A'ld I hasten to inform you tbat the senate fully concurs in the wise , provident , and necessary _mesaur-i which your excellency has adopted to suppress the seditions movements which have unfortunately agiin taken place in Cephalonia *
' The senate trusts tbat your excellency , solicitous for the well being of these states , will not cease to adopt _euph measures as circumstances may hereaiter call for , in order to preserve and _guranlee tranquil - lity , so highly compromised , and restore order to the misguided districts of that island . 1 1 have , & c , 1 Sr .

ATHENS . August 28 . —The principal events in Greece have ; been the arrivals of numerous bodies of Italian , ' Polish , and other refugees frcra Ancona , Civita \ Vecchia , Corfu , and Malta : those from tbe two ! latter places had been refused an asylum . The committee established to receive subscrip- ' tions in favour of these refugees , has nobly fulfilled , its mission . A sub-winruittee has been appointed to look after those men who can obtain a living by i their labour . The Italians resident at Athens have _, also formed a committee , and called upon their ]

fellow-countrymen ,-by a _\ address publish _^ hasten to assist these unfortunates . ' ! About 150 from Matta landed a few day * _--PatraJ , where they were most hospitably \ _efi succoured , and forwarded on to Athens , at th ' pence of the inhabitants . One hundred ' and t * also arrived at Megara on the 22 nd : the _peorA them food and shelter , and even the _iiihabitaJ the island of Salamine , poor though thev be in . diately they heard of their arrival , made up . scription _, and sent ii to tiiem . All those in ! who have been refused at Malta and Corf ., ! found an asylum in Greece , amidst a poor lint L table people , who gladly share their _hard-eamj , with tbe unfortunate . *
All the ministers have subscribed ; and it j . of M . Krestenitis , ihe Minister of the Interior ! when a foreign minister endeavoured to pro , him the necessity for denying these refugees to . ' Greece , he replied , This is not a question 0 f , tics , but of humanity . The people of the wes V world all assisted us during our struggle for _\^ dence . Now these same people , as political retii demand an asylum , we cannot refuse them v _** $ being guilty of the blackest ingratitude : this G >< will never do , -neither does any law authorise to act otherwise .
