AUSTRIA . AND HUNGARY . A letter from Semlia of the 22 nd ult ,, states that Gen . Haynau had summoned the garrison of Peterwardein , consisting of tbreebattaUons of footand two squadrons of cavalry , to capitulate , -with dire roenances in case of resistance . 2 , 000 captive Honveds in the moit dejected state of destitution and misery , had passed upon their way from Titel towards Italy . Accecding to private letters from Arad , the head , quarters of Baron Haynau were transported thither on the 22 nd . He is expected shortly in Pesth . The garrison of Peterwardein is disposed to brave aseige : the news of Georgey's cEpitolation produced no desire there to follow bis example . Four Austrian employes in tbe fortress were turned out . In other respects the fortress was quiet . Prince Lichtenstein is to be the intercessor with the emperor for clemency towards the Hungarian army , and is shortly
expected . Of tbe Stuhlweissenbnrg landsturm , who were taken with arms in their bands , six were shot at Pestb , by sentence of court-martial . Comoro has not yet surrendered . Haynau ' s headquarters , on the 22 nd , were at Arad , on his return to Pesth . In a few days march the troops would be in that city . 5 iews from Bebieczra s'ate that Pasktewiteb . was also returning to Warsaw . Peterwardein was negotiating for surrender , having sent Major Totb and a captain for that purpose to Haynau ' s bead-quarters . The Austrian general himself has published aa amnerty for all the Hungarian army , up to a sergeant , inclusive ; the officers retain their rank and duties ad interim , and the privates receive their usual pay till other regnlations shall have been made . The greater part of the Honveds nave heen dismissed to their homes . Prince
Lichtenstein has been sent by the Austrian army to the Emperor at Schonbrann , for obtaining from his Majesty a general amnesty for the officers . Dembinski is said to have reached Constantinople in safety , where his family was residing . On the other hand Paul Nyary and Csanyi had fallen into the hands of the Austrians , and Szemere likewise , with two other ex-ministers . A letter of the 23 rd , from Semlin , states that Kossuth and Bern had arrived in New Orsowa , and put themselves under the protection of the Pasha on the other hand , the National' of Berlin positively declares that Kossuth was still at Orsowa , where 100 , 000 ( 1 ) Magyars were said to be concentrated .
Vibsxa . — On tbe 27 tb ult theemperor was present at a TeDeum in honour of the victories in Hungary ; he then reviewed on horseback , surrounded with a brilliant staff , the troops of the garrison . A . 0 G 0 ST 28 . —On the emperor ' s birthday , Baron Haynau granted a general amnesty to the Hungarian soldiers , who are to be inserted in the ranks of the Austrian army . All decision with regard to the disposal of the ' officers who had deserted from the Imperial array , and generally the principle personages , civil and military of the Hungarian revolution , he reserved for a future occasion . Gsorgey is at Temesvar , and walks at large in the fortress . Kossuth , with four other chiefs of the revolution , is now said to be at Widdin , under strict supervision of the Pasha .
According to official intelligence from the headquarters of General Haynau , the van guard of the column under Count Nuperg , which advanced towards Birkis , overtook the baggage train of the corps of Vecsey at Ha ' alis , and , after some firing , captured it . More than two thousand waggons , many of which were laden with munition , and 1 , 000 prisoners among whom is Colonel Cassonyi and a squadron of Karoly hussars , fell into the hands of the Austrian troops . The third corps took on the 18 th 300 busficirs ilcs rt 6 rs CojroR . v . —Up to this date ( the 28 th ult . ) the fortress of Comoro had not capitulated . The truce entered into with Klapka expires on the 4 th September , before which in ail probability the Imperial troops will have taken possession .
Vieska , Accost 29 . —News from Jassy states that the Polish legion of 800 men had laid down arms at the frontier . Letters of the 28 th from Pesth announce the occupation of Orsowa by the Austrian troops . Kossuth , Bern , and Demhinski were still on the left bank on the 24 tb . Letters from Bucharest of the 17 th ultimo state that Perez ?! had arrived in Orsowa , and sent two officers to the Pasha in the fortress of Adakale or Turkish Orsowa , soliciting refuge for himself , his men , and officers . The Pasha agreed , provided all laid down arms , which was done ; whereupon the Magyars wtra ferried over into the fortress . The Russian consul vapoured tremendously about this .
The following is , according to the' Warsaw Courier ' tbe list of the Hungarian generals , who submitted on the 13 th of August by means of capitulation : —The Comm « nder-in-Cbief , General Arthur Georgey ; tbe General of Division , Ernst Kiscb , Govenor of Hungary ; tbe Major-Generals , Aulich ( uncommissioned ;) Alexander Nagy , Corps Commandant ; Baron Poeltenberg , the same ; Count KarlLeiuingen , the same ; Kniasitscb , of the reserve ; Schweydel ( uncommissioned ;) Laner , Inspector of Arms . The following members oi tbe former Hungarian government and of the diet joined the troops which capitulated . Lndwig Tschanyi , minister ; Franz Duschek , minister ; Siegmund B . Perenyi , supreme judge ; Karl Sass , secretary of state ; John Jessenak , vice-sheriff , and a number of others .
The Bbtcuer Hat ? natj . « -Haynau s amnesty for the privates and non-commissioned officers , is more an act of policy than of mercy . He has shown no magnanimity or forbearance to the leading officers , but given full loose to tbe instinct of the butcher . The cause of liberty and of a nation's independence has succumhed to brute violence and overwhelming odds ; henceforth we shall only have to report submissions and capitulations , the burning of Kossuth ' s notes , condemnations by Austrian drumhead court martial and executions by hanging or sliGOting . Even the meraoiyof the martyrs to their country ' s independence will live alone in the hearts of their surviving countrymen . Six womeu
hav 5 bsen condemned to several week's imprisonment / or trying to get rid ot some Kossuth notes , which the whole nation had equally been guilty of , a poor private tutor to two months prison for the same henious offence . A notary has been shot for inviting the militia to rise . But this is not all ; Baroa Aufftnharg has been hauged at Arad and Cauat Leiningea shot ; sixteen Hungarian nobles in tha same place , seeing no chance of mercy , or feeling despair , are said to have committed suicide ; GeneralAuliehis reported to be of the number . Poor Szemere , the Hungarian Minister of the Interior has gone mad . Georgey is still with Paskiewitch .
'Lloyd' gives news of the 27 th ult . from Raab , according to which Kossuth ' s three children , with their governess , were captured ; as likewise the Baroness Splenyi , with her three children , and Madame Gayon . We wonder whether they too are all to he shot ; for the thing is not new , and did not Russia set the example , by shooting women before regiments , and flogging them with tbe knout ? As for the poor Jews , it would seem that Haynau does not consider them as men at all , far less as coming under the terms of bis own proclamation and amnesty to the inhabitants of ' this unfortunate land , ' as he is pleased to designate it , after having laid it waste with the disposition and savage cruelty of an Attila . He has imposed on the Jews in tbe Banat , for their horrid crime of sympathising
with the Hungarian cause ; which he translates into had feelings aud supporting of the rebel-, the contribution of 100 , 000 ksapsacks , 10 000 cloaks' for the foot soldiers , 10 . 000 pair of Hungarian shoes , and 5 , 000 pair of half boots . The articles must be delivered within four months . For every day ' s grace ( a la Haynau ) after this period a penalty of 1 , 000 Austrian Sarins is held over their doomed heads . The Jews in Arad have not come off scotfree . Haysau seems to be disappointed of his prey for once ; since the Jews have turned Christians in a body the whole population bes declared itself in--ttlvent , and proved it too , by demonstrating that ffhat money they bad Train Kmnth notet , which H aynac would fain seize , no doubt , bad he not by his own previous measures rendered them of no value to himself as well as to others .
The correspondent to the ' Independence Beige ' © f Sept . the 2 nd , writes from Vienna , aad says there was a report there on the 29 th ultimo , to the effect that Generals Aulich and Vetter had been made prisoners by tbe Austrians , and bad been shot immediately ; others say that both bad shot themselves . Details have at last reached us respecting an insurrection of the Austrian prisoners of war in Comoro , while the greater part of the garrison was making its victorious sally as far as Raab , A white flag bad been seen to wave for a short time from the battlements by persons at a great distance even , but the signal was not understood * It seems that the Austrian prisoners , suddenly seized with the desire of recovering their liberty , attacked the sentries , and though She small number of troops Jeft behind made
Dfotetgntnttutgenc^
use of their weapons in this deadly strife , they were nearly all overpowered and disarmed by men struggling with all the energies of despair . The Austrian prisoners triumphed , elected , a commander on the spot , took possession of as many important posts as they could , and hung out a white flag , in the hope that it would be understood by the Austrian besiegers . Before their ' measures however , were complete , Klapka , informed of the danger by some Honveds , sent back a division of hussars with cannon , and they fortunately came in time to pass over the bridge , that was still uninjured . After a bloody fight , the Austrians were overpowered in their turn , the fortress re-taken , and the white flag hauled down .
The ' National Gazette ' gives an account of the tragedy at Temesvar , as sent to it by a Honved , and by which it seems that treachery was at work previous to the combat , and that the plans of tbe commander had been revealed to Haynau . Frankfort , Sept . I . —We read the following in the Frankfort French journal headed Paris , Aug . 29 : ' M . de Kisselef , Russian charge d ' affaires at Paris , has lately received despatches from Count Nesselrode respecting the intentions of Russia towards Hungarv , The note in question , which M . Kisselef communicated to the French government , is to
the effect that the Ceunt N .. foreseeing that explanations would be demanded by the French ca binet , thought it advisable to declare immediately that the Emperor intended to withdraw all his troops to his own dominions as soon as the insurgent Hungar ians should have all laid down their arms and surrendered the fortresses into the hands of the Austrians . As for Moldavia and Wallachia , Count N . says that the greater part of the Russian troops would be also withdrawn from these principalities , and that only such troops would be left as were strictly required for the maintenance of tranquillity . '
( FroBi the ' Times . ' ) Vienna , Aug . 29 . —In all probability the permission given by Rsdetski to those Imperial officers who had taken up arms against their liege sovereign to quit Venice has saved those who are in a like predicament in Hungary , as justice and prudence will not allow Haynau to act differently . The fate of the prisoners at present in the hands of General Haynau must already have been decided on , as tbe Emperor's aide-de-camp in chief , Count Grunne , who went to bead-quarters some days ago , was
doubtlessly the bearer of the monarch s will to the Commander-in-Chief . The three fortresses , Mungacz , Comoro , and Peterwardein , which it will be seen form a complete triangle , have not yet surrendered , but resistance is in vain , and tbe garrisons must yield or starve . Klapka , as I have already informed you , is inclined to surrender unconditionally , but it is reported that some of the other chiefs who are in tbe fortress insist on terms being made . In a few days it must be decided how things are to end , as the suspension of hostilities only extends to the 4 th of September .
The general correspondence of "Vienna , dated August 30 th , mentions two more executions at Pesth . A Protestant pastor and a printer were shot there because arms had been found in their possession . The negotiation for the surrender of Comoro have hitherto led to no result . A part of the garrison refuses obstinately to entertain them , while , on the other hand , the majority have quitted the fortress and laid down their arms at Gran . If a regular siege were undertaken , communications by the Danube would he cut off , and commerce would suffer considerably .
Kossuth , Bern , and Demhinski are announced from other quarters to have gone to Constantinople , via Semlin ; that the authorities wished to put them in the latter place under quarantine , but that the Pasha came himself to the rescue , procured them conveyances , and allowed them to continue their journey . Kiss , the commander of Peterwardein , told the Russian Lieut .-General Berg st a Conference , that he was ready to surrender as soon as he received an answer from Haynau to the overtures made by him . The following letter from Kossuth to Count Casimir Esterhazy , appears in ill the papers to-day . It is dated Arad , August 11 ;—
' Dear Count , — -rhe bearer of this letter , Colonel Count Kilmany , is commissioned by me to acquaint you with my wishes verbally . The forebodings I uttered to you June 23 rd , at Szegdin have come to pass . The conquest of Buda by Georgey was the last beam of the setting sun of the Republic , for sonn after Demhinski was beaten in the north , Perczel in the south , Georgey got fatally entangled at Comoro , and Bern was ibliged to yield to the superior force of Luders . The faint hopes I cherished of giving a favourable turn to our cause by immense efforts were totally shipwrecked on the rock of Georgey ' s vile ingratitude ; and the sudden revelation and execution of his designs , long feared and
seen through by me , was treason to the country , and gave the death-blow to me and the Republic . Our misfortunes has cost us 200 , 000 cannon balls (?); and I see the grave of so many glorious victories in a fight that is now become dangerous . Our cause is completely lost . The prodigious efforts made of late have enfeebled my mi « d , and exhausted my bodily powers . I long for repose , and the sweetest consolation I possess , in this critical moment , is the knowledge that those I prize most after my country are removed to a place of safety . [ Tet the papers say Kossuth ' s wife has been arrested . ] To-night I start for Lugos , with Czany and Horwarth , where I shall expect your verbal answer by Colonel Kalmany . In the meantime accept the sentiments of high esteem and consideration , & c .
( Signed ) 'Louis Kossuth . ' The news from Vienna is to August 31 . The accounts from Comom are very conflicting . According to the' Presse' and' Wanderer , ' the negotiations with Klapka have as yet totally failed . Out ot the garrison of 20 , 000 , 14 , 000 had , during the fortnight ' s armistice concluded upon the arrival of the news of Georgey ' s surrender , been shipped to Gran , where they laid down their arms . The remaining 0 , 000 were determined on an obstinate defence . Klapka had given every one perfect liberty to retire from the garrison if he pleased , but not a single Honved had availed himself of this permission . The printing jiress of the fortress was in full activity , and a newspaper entitled the ' Ivomarouu-lap' appeared daily .
The condemnations in Hungary continue . Three more persons have been shot in Arad . One of them Count Leiningen who is , ot rather was a relative ol Qaeeu Victoria ' s . The former commandant of Esseg , the grey and venerable General Jowich , who surrendered the fortress to the Hungarians , and was their prisoner , has been brought now , as an Austrian prisoner , in chains to Vienna , and many other prisoners of note are to be sent after him . To the poor wretches condemned in Pestb for various offences , a
new victim , for a novel offence , has now been added ; it is a journeyman for having dared to sing in a public-house a song in Hungarian , being one sung by rebels , and he has been sentenced to three months ' bard labour in irons . The little fortress Deva , in Transylvania , has been blown up by the insurgents , 300 strong , rather than surrender . It took place in sight of tbe Russians , as they were approaching to storm it . The besiegers , on coming up , found only tbe blackened corpses that had been hurled down the rocks , which were here from four to five hundred
feet high . Not a man surrived to tell the tale and explain the catastrophe , which , perhaps was unintelligible to the born slaves of Russia . The dislike of Austria towards Russia was increasing hourly . The Austrians , amongst other cames of dislike , are indignant that Georgey ' s corps should have been so imperfectly disarmed , that not only war materials should have been dragged away and secreted , but that even whole ranks should have been suffered to retreat into tbe forests and neighbouring villages , or even to Transylvania , where they may form guerilla
bands and carry on the war , heaven knows how long . An officer returning from his captivity , met whole trains of hussars on their retreat to Transylvania fully mounted aud accoutred . « Lloyd' says further , that the Kossuth notes have been declared good and valid by Paskiewitch or the Russian officer in command , and even goes so far as to affirm that Riissiau officers were buying up and collecting theee notes . Such an act on the part of the Russians in Hungary was naturall y enough regarded by the Austnans in a very grave point of view .
_ According to a Russian courier , who arrived on the 21 st ult . at Czernovitz ( Bukowvna , ) General Grasenajelm had taken Klausenburg without oppo-Traps ' lvanif " * ' ^ ^ " ^ ^ the insur eu in A letter fromCzernovitz of the 25 th ult ., says that Bern has been arrested there and was lying severely wounded m the military hospital of Bucharest . Kossuth a letter dated Arad , August 11 , addressed to Count Casimir Esterhazy , has been protested K , y Ja ,-. ? T : The narae of Esterhazy had been substituted for that of some other pe-son Acwdjpg tothe ' Warjiferer , ' the greater part of
Dfotetgntnttutgenc^
the Russian arBy \ bas received orders to return to Gati ' cia .
FRANCE . Paris , Saturday . —German Refugees . — -The ' Reforme' says : — 'We learn from Berne that the French government continues to lefuse passports to the German refugees , who on their way to America are forced to traverse France . The evident object of these odious measures is to make Switzerland a sort of political trap . ' Not Russian soldiers , but Austrians , are gathering on the Swiss frontier . The Vorarlberg is not the point threatened , but the Tessin . There , as will be seen from the intelligence received from Switzerland , the Austrian troops are concentrating on the border ; and fears are entertained that the crushed spirit of the Sonderbund will raise its head , and reaction triumph , under the auspices of Austria , in Switzerland , as at Rome and in Hungary .
We find the following in the « Union' . —• ' According to a decision come to by the General Democratic Committee , at whose meeting the flower of the Mountain is twice a-week present , the general rendezvous of tbe exiled democratic party is to take place at Genera , as being only the distance of a cannon shot from Lyons and from ChaloDS-sar-Saone . According to letters received from the Swiss frontier the number of democrats there assembled amounts to 300 , and it is hoped that the number will be tripled by the arrival of Italians , Poles , & c . The editor of tbe' Bien du Peuple , ' a provincial paper , has been sentenced to one mouth's imprisonment and 200 francs fine for having in a public cafe uttered words grossly insulting to the President of the Republic .
More Prosecutions op the Press . —The director of the Journal' La Vraie Republique' has been condemned by the Court of Assizes of the Seine to two years'imprisonment and 4 , 000 francs fine , for exciting the people to hatred against each other . On the same day the Court of Correctional Police sentenced a number of individuals , convicted of concealing arms and ammunition , to from one month to ene vear ' s imprisonment . At Cahors the editor of
the' Reformateur' was condemned to six months ' imprisonment and 1 , 000 francs » fine ; and at Montpelier the editors of the' Montagnard ' andthe' Independent' were sentenced , the first to one month's imprisonment and 500 francs fine , and the second to two months' imprisonment and 1 , 000 francs . In the Indre three democrats , Socialists , convicted of affiliation in a secret society ( tbe ' Solidarite Republicaine' ) , are to suffer six and eight months' imprisonment , respectively .
Paris , Monday . —The President of tbe Republic returned to Paris at twenty minutes past eight o ' clock on Sunday night from Epernay . His reception in all the towns he passed through was of the most enthusiastic kind . At Meaux some cries were heard of « Vive la Republique' from the Artillery of the National Guard . But otherwise along the line nothing was heard but the moat joyous acclamations . — 'Times ' Paris , Wednesday . —There is no news whatever in the Paris journals this morning . They are occupied much with the Swiss questions , which shares here the same amount of attention as in London . Tbe President of tha Republic , on leaving Meaux , amongst other marks of his munificence , left l , 000 f . to the bishop of that place fer the poor of the urondissement .
' It is announced , ' says the ' Patrie , ' ' that the council of state is engaged in the preparation of a law relative to the transportation to Algeria of the prisoners of June who remain at Belle Isle . The council is also engaged in a general law regarding transportation . Mayelte is still spoken of as tbe place for persons condemned to be transported for political offences . ' Letters from Marseilles state that ( he cholera is gaining ground in that town . Tho average number of deaths is forty per day .
M . Schmidt , editor of tbe ' Volksrepuhlick , ' has just . been tried by the Court of Assizes of the Haut-Rhin , for publishing an article originally given in the * Travail Affrauchi , ' exciting to civil war . The jury retu-ned a verdict of acquittal . M . Schmidt then left the court , amidst loud cries from his friends of' Vive la Republique ! ' 4 Vive la Constitution V The same day the editor of the ' Ithin ' ' was summoned to appear before the court for the same offence . Not having made his appearance , he was sentenced , by default , to three months'imprisonment , and 1 , 000 ! . fine .
SWITZERLAND . The Central Government not being able to come to an understanding with the Cantons , which have signed the capitulation with Naples , the Executive Council of Berne had proposed to the Federal Council—1 st . to declare mill and void , in the name of the Confederation , the capitulation concluded with the King of Naples . 2 d . To relieve the Swiss troops in tbe Neapolitan service from their oath of allegiance . 3 . To supply those troops with the funds necessary to enable them to return to their country ; and 4 th , to deprive of their political rights the Swiss who should continue to serve abroad under the Federal banner .
We read in the Journal de 1 ' Ain ' : — ' A very vigilant police has been established on the French frontier bordering Switzerland . The brigade of Fernay has been reinforced by five gendarmes from the Army of the Alps , and patrols are out every night . As strict a watch as possible U kept over the French refugees at Geneva . The description of Sergeant Boicbet has been sent to all the brigales of gendarmerie . ' The « N ew Zurich Gazette' of the 29 th ult . states
from Tichto , that more Austrian troops have been ordered to the Swiss frontier , and that a strong column has arrived at Comom . The whole corps is to be 10 , 000 strong . Everything , according to this account , announces a military occupation of the Canton at no distant period , a measure said to be taken in accordance with the French government . A letter from Vercello states that the 3 d Regiment of Piedmontese infantry , commanded by the Duke of Genoa , had received the posts at Novara from the Austrians , who proceed to cross the Ticino .
ITALY . VENICE . —The circumstances attending the surrender of Venice are thus described : —On the 19 th ult . the French aad English consuls appeared at the head-quavters of General Gorzkowsky , as the conveyers of proposals to him concerning the capitulation of the city , islands , and forts , which were , however , declined from political grounds by the Austrian general . Therefore they retired . On the 20 ih ult ., however , there appeared a numerous deputation of Venetians , of all conditions , who
declared themselves ready for immediate surrender , but wished to stipulate that their paper money , which circulated to the amount of sixty millions of zwanzigers , should be accepted and continue at seventy-five . The Austrian general , who declined also this proposal , nevertheless notified the same o the minister Bruck and the field-marshal , who immediately set out for Mestre , and brought the transaction to a termination . It is reported that the parla patriotica of the Venetians is provisionally rejected , but the possibility of the conversion is hoped for .
The' Risorgimento' of Turin publishes a letter from Venice of the 22 dult stating that , on the 13 th , Mania assembled the National Guards on the square of St . Marco , passed them in review , and then harangued them from this balcony , explained the condition of VenL-e , without concealing any circumstance , and concluded with these words ; » And whatever may happen , say , t his man was deceived , but never say , this man has deceived us . I have never deceived any one ; I have never held out expectations which I had not ; I have never told you to hope when I did not hope . ' He then retired suddenly to give vent to a flood of tears which choked his voice .
Accounts from Venice of the 26 th ult slate that a great number of those who were most deeply implicated in the insurrection of that city were making their escape by way ol tbe Adriatic , Tbe ' Risorgimento' of Turin states from Venice 27 th ult ., that the cholera has been raging fearfully in that city . Upwards of 400 attacks and 235 deaths had been counted per day . It is now on the decrease . The' Venice Gazette , ' of the 27 th ult ., contains three decrees , tbe first fixing the departure of the eight vessels destined to convey the refugees to
i Corfu , Patras , or Alexandria , to the : 28 th instead of the 27 tb ; tbe second , announcing that the post wag to recommence its functions on the 27 th ; the third declaring tbe communal paper to have i ' ts nominal value for one day more , since the town was not to be occupied till the . 28 th by tbe Austrian troo p * . The last decree further contains a recommendation to shopkeepers to keep their shops open , and not to refuse to sell , as public tranquillity might suffer bv it . These decrees are signed by the members of the government commission , composed of Venetians . t The blockade of Venice was raised on the 27 th » t tyrtopennt tlwjni WummMfyodi
Dfotetgntnttutgenc^
has been suspended , that the city may receive abundant supplies . Letters from Venice of tbe 28 th ult . announce that the Austrians were on that day in complete possession of the city , and that President Mania , General Pepe , and forty persons most compromised in the revolution , had embarked in the French war steamer Pluton for Corfu . General Garzkewaki had been appointed Civil and Military Governor , and M . Mazzani Prefect of Venice . contradicts
ROME . — -The ' Giornale di Roma , the announcement of the arrival of Marshal Radetski in that city , which it had announced by mistake in its preceding number . The triumvirate of Cardinals has instituted a commission , for the purnose of prosecuting the authors and accomplices of the outrages committed during the revolutionary period against religion , its ministers , the majesty of the sovereign , and public security . NAPLES . —The 'Univers' publishes a letter from Naples . dated the 24 th ult . - .- 'Nap les expects the sovereign pontiff ; the royal residence at fortieia preparing for his reception , which is a delightful abode at all limes , but particularly in the autumn .
It is said that the Pope will go direct by sea , for the palace is on the sea side . The day of the departure from Gaeta is not officially known , but there is every reason to suppose that it will be on the 2 nd or 3 rd of September . It is hoped , but it is not yet certain , that his holiness will be present on the Sth , the day of the nativity , at the fete di Maria di Pie di Grotta , so dear to the Neapolitans , and at the grand review which the king usually has on that day It is almost certain that the Pope will hold a consistory during his stay at Naples . The visit ot Pius IX . to Naples is a first step towards his return to Rome , for his holiness has promised not to quit the kingdom without visiting the capital . No one , however , can yet say when the head of the church
will return to the eternal city . MILAN . —In the long list of names of persons arrested for the late riots , on that occasion , two young actresses figure , who had been implicated in some degree in the brawl , and who , we may be sure , were led on , by men who should have known better , to commit themselves . However , they are , condemned to receive forty stripes a piece from the hands of Radetski ' s soldiers ! The instrument used for flogging women is a cane or rod , rather thinner than that applied to the tough hide of an offending Croat , but not a whit the less efficacious on that account ; and the difference in thickness is fully outweighted by the absence of any covering , the male victim being always allowed his shirt .
Accounts from Turin , received this morning , state that the Austrians vacated Novara on the 26 th ult . This was the last of the Piedmontese towns occupied by the Austrians . On that evening the whole of the Piedmontese towns were garrisoned by the troops of the country . SARDINIA . —In the sitting of the Piedmontese Chamber on the 30 ih ult ., a provisional credit of 100 , 000 livres was voted for assistance to refugees from all parts of Italy-LOM BARDY . —The « Milan Gazette' of the 30 th ult . contains the following : —
' The Military Governor of Verona has adopted very severe measures , in order to repress the excesses committed by bands of malefactors in the provinces of the Lombardo-Tenetian kingdom . The districts which shall receive them , supply them with provirions , or apprise them of the arrival of tbe armed force , are to be liabel to a fine , the amount of which will vary according to circumstances . The inhabitants who shall give them an asylum are to be
regarded a ; their accomplices , and shot , in virtue of a sentence of the Council of War . The soldiers sent in pursuit of the banditti are authorised to fire upon all individuals taken with arms . A reward of (> 00 f . is offered for every deserter arrested and delivered to the proper authorities , Passports are to be rigorously examined , and officials neglecting their duties in matters relating to this proclamation are to be dismissed , and otherwise punished if necessarv . '
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . Disturbances at Schleswig . —A letter from Flensburg of the 27 th August says : — 'Yesterday evening a most fearful affray took place on the occasion of singing the national airs by tbe two parties by whom the city is divided . It assumed such a character that resources was obliged to be bad to arms , and several soldiers were wounded . A Prussian patrol cleared the streets at the point of the
bayonet , threatening to fire upon the people . Notwithstanding these excesses , the Prussian troops quitted the city to-day . The Danish party broke into several houses and pillaged them . They also broke open tbe residence of Senator llunningsen , * the gendarmes , and some convalescent soldiers were seat for , and advanced , bayonet in hand , towards the mob , and , having in vain called upon them to disperse , they fired , a boy was killed , and some others severely wounded . '
The inhabitants have formed a body of security ; but the excesses of the Danes continues , up to this evening , to a very great extent , The Danish troops arrived here towards evening ; they have occupied guard , but they have not interfered , and our police has not the necessary means of preventing the further shedding of bleod . August 29 . —The only event of consequence to note is the arrival of about 3 , 000 Sweeds in Flensburg , and 900 men of the same force in Alsen , so that in a few days the whole of the Duchy will receive the portion of neutral troops destined to keep the peace .

AMERICA . The Royal mail steam-ship America , Captain Harrison , arrived at Liverpool , on Monday . She brings accounts from . New York to the 22 d ult ., a small amount of specie on freight , and 100 pas sengers . With the exception of the excitement consequentupon the continued organisation of the expedition to Cuba , the political accounts from the United States are very uninteresting . President Taylor had completely recovered from the severe attack of illness under which he laboured on the sailing of the last steamer , and was proceeding on his northern
tour . General Avezanna had arrived at New York . Notwithstanding the President ' s proclamation against the secret expedition to Cubs , the project was still being actively carried out . —We extract the following from the ' New York Express ' : — ' Meetings are nightly held in this city , some secretly , some more publicly , aud organisations of a very extensive character are forming for some secret expedition , of which no one engaged but the leaders know anything . Several bodies of men , numbering over 100 each , have organised themselves into regular
military divisions , and have entered with the coalition , which is now assuming a shape too formidabl to be overlooked . On . Monday evening a large number of these men met at La Fayette Hall , when the meeting was called to order by Colonel Can- ; a large number enrolled their names on the promise of seven dollars a month , and 1 , 000 dollars at the end of tbe year . Next Saturday is the appointed time for sailing , and , while the teal destination of the expedition is unknown , it is given out at a gold hunt to California . * * *
The men engaged in this movement are young men , who are out of employment , but are good looking , stout , healthy persons , ripe for any exciting adventure j indeed , many of them are volunteers who have been in Mexico , and who showed as great a relish for this expedition as they did for that . We therefore wish to caution our citizens that they look on both sides of the picture before they engage in this enterprise . In discussing this subject the journals gsnerally indicate by their tone the existence of considerable excitement , and we find it stated that a steamship had heen despatched to the Gulf of Mexico with sealed orders , supposed to refer to the intended invasion .
The deaths by cholera in New York are on the decrease . . Letters from the city of Greneda , late Nicaragua , dated the Sth of July , had reached New York . Accordiug to these letters Somoso , at the head of 4 , 000 men , had assaulted the city of Nicaragua , destroyed it by fire , and sacrificed tbe lives of its inbabttante . Somoso did not obtain much wealth by this assault ; a small amount only of gold , silver and jewellery fell , into his hands ' ; but the total amount of property destroyed exceeded 2 , 00 . 0 000 u is not possible that all the inhabitants of the citv S 1 tfBff- C ?

sixteen years to fifty years of age , to arms—first , to quell the anarchical movements of Somoso ; second , to maintain the territorial rights of Nicaragua over San Juan and its dependencies , or , in the language of the proclamation , ' the usurpation of England in the name of the Mosquito King . ' The « New York Herald' says : — * The above intelligence is from one source . We learn from another source that England refuses to continue her subsidy to the Mosquito King , and that the English Consul . Mr . Christy , left San Juan , or what is now called Grey Town , on the 25 th of June , in a British brig of war . '
California . —Ships were arriving at San Francisco very rapidly during the month of June , loaded with merchandize and passengers . It was reported that there were more than eighty sail in port on the 1 st of July , and they were coming in at the rate of six or eight per day . Many kinds of goods were as cheap in San Francisco as in New York , and much distress would , no doubt , occur to adventurers , who must realize in an over-stocked maiket . The want of warehouses adds greatly to the embarrassment of the times , as the goods must , for the most part , be kept on shipboard . Gold was beginning to come in freely from the mines as the season advanced , and the general tendency of the population was for < he gold region . The America , Royal mail steam-ship , brings the following account of
RIOTS IN CANADA . Canada has been the scene of renewed disturbances . On the 15 th the government made several arrests of persons implicated in the riot which resulted in the destruction of tbe Parliament house These arrrests were durins the day , without opposition , except in one or two cases , but in the evening a large mob assembled and proceeded to the house of M . Lafontaine , the Attorney General , which thfy were about to assail . It proved , however , that the house had been filled with men to protect it , and as soon as the assault commenced those inside fired
some thirty shots upon the ra ; b . Only one shot took fatal effect , killing a young man named Mason . One or two barricades were thrown up in the streets , but they were speedily demolished by the trosps , who were in considerable force . They made no attack , however , upon the mob . The funeral of Mason was attended by an immense concourse , tbe coffin being dressed with red . No further outbreaks have occurred . Donegan's Hotel , in Montreal , the finest in Canada , was entirely consumed by fire on the 16 th . The daily telegraphic reports furnish the most comolete account of the disturbances : —
' Montreal , August 15 . —There has heen considerable excitement in the city since last communication , and fife persons have been arrested for arson . Their names are Cooke , Orr , Dier , Evring , and Courtnay . The tumults have ended in the destruction of the parliament . There are other warrants out , and some parties have left the city . The excitement is very great . ' August 16 . —A serious riot occurred last night , consequent upon the arrest of several of the British party in the early part of the day . At nine o'clock a crowd assembled opposite Orr ' s Hotel , Noire Darae-street ; about ten o ' clock the crowd divided ,
one body remaining in Notre Dame-street , and the other , to the number of 300 , proceeded to attack M . Lafontaine ' s house , demolishing the gate . The rioters , upon coming in front of the building , wn-e fired upon , and one man , by the name of Mason , received ten slugs in his body . This man died at an early hour this morning . It is expected that serious disturbances will ensue in consequence . The military were called out , and paraded the streets the remainder of the night . A barricade was erected in St . Gabriel-street , but was' soon taken by the troops , as the mob , having no arms , did not resist .
• August 19 . — Last night the streets presented another scene of tumult and rows . Sham barricades were thrown up in the streets , and numerous lamps were broken , but the rioters eventually dispersed without having done any material damage . 1 The coroner ' s jury , in the case of Mason , who was shot in the melee at M . Lafontaine ' s house on the previous night , have adjourned . ' About midnight , Donegal ' s elegant hotel took fire , and is now in ruins . In the endeavour to extinguish the flames , one of the city firemen was killed . The inmates effected their escape , with the toss of some property . The value of the hotel , and other property destroyed , is estimated at £ 30 , 000 , on which there was an insurance of £ 14 , 000 , £ 2 , 000 of which - is in tbe ; E ' . na . The fire is supposed to have ori ginated accidentally .
' August 20 . —The coroner ' s investigation relative to the death ot Mason was resumed this morning at the Cyphrus Hotel , aad M . Lafontaine was on the point of giving his testimony , when the alarm of fire was raised , and it was found that the hotel was in flames . The greatest confusionensued ; the soldiers on guard ran about with fixed bayonets ; and M . Lifontaine was eventually escorted to the government-house in the centre ' of a square of troops . The fire is alleged to have been the work of an incendiary .
' Things have arrived at such a crisis that the bending of a straw may produce a revolution . The Ministry , it is alleged , have split with the military , and intend to resign . An officer who arrived in townon Friday night immediately left for Monklands . He is said to have been the bearer of important despatches . ' ¦ WEST INDIES . Tiie Royal Mail Steam Packet Company ' s ship Dee , Captain W , Allen , arrived at Southampton , on Tuesday , September 4 th , at eight o ' clock , with the usual British and foreign "West India Mails , in charge of Lieutenant Davics , It .

v . v . ^ J , ^^ - tlgiiil ^ state , that after an interval of about a month , during which time no communications had taken place with the jst' » to of Nicaragua , a boat arrived at Grey Town on tho 20 th of July , bringing intelligence that the city of Hivas , or Nicaragua , with the adjoining estates , had been destroyed by the rebel chief Samosa , and of his having attacked the fort of San Carlos , and possessed himself of all the arms and ammunition . The troops of this place also joined him , and the only person left there on tho 20 th of June , of any authority , was the Collector of Customs . It was further reported , that Samosa intended to march upon tho British settlement of Grey Town , but had been hitherto
prevented by the want of boats to convey his forces down si portion of the river . Another boat arrived shortly afterwards , and despatches also reached Grey Town on the day of the Dee ' s departure , mentioning that Samosa , having been defeated aud captured by tho government troops , had been sentenced to death . General Muuoz , however , the commander-in-chief of the . government troops , was preparing to go down to Grey Town with an armed force . The king of Musquito was at Blucfiekls . The disturbances in the interior had prevented the usual arrivals of cochineal for shipment by the Dee , From Carfchagena wo learn , that the miserable state of that unfortunate place was beyond
description , as starvation , tilth , and disease , were rapidlv thinning the inhabitants . In twenty-nine dars 000 persons out of a population of 10 , OUO had died by cholera . When the Dee left , tho disease had sensibly abated , although the fatal cases at one time amounted to 00 and 100 per diem . The authorities had ordered the frequent discharge of cannons and other firearms , which was said to have had tho effect of destroying tho impre gnated state of tho atmosphere , and tended , in an extraordinary manner , to abate the disease , which , it was feared , would take oft ' thousands of the people , if unchecked . The want of provisions continued to be felt . It was said , the ravages of the disease had been
accelerated by starvation , the people of tho interior being fearful of going into the town with provisions . Supplies were only , therefore , received bv foreign vessels arriving at Carthagcna . The Jamaica ' Morning Journal' of the 7 th of August has kte . advices from Porr-au-Prince Hayti by which we learn that there had been some more bloody work gohrj on in that unfortunate country No less than six persons who bad hitherto held high ofhees under the government had been ordered by President Soulouque to b 3 shot , and the order was immediately carried into effect . If it bad not been for the inference of the British and Ame rican Consuls , who came forward and protested against the sacrifice of so many human beings seventeen other men would have met with the same fate . Amongst those who had fallen victims to tbe
ferocity of Soulouque was General Similien , who bad been forsorue time a distinguished member of he Prestdew ' s household , and who was left by him o conduct matters during the march against the Dominicans . It is stated that General Similien took advantage of SonUwp * absence in eX vojr . Bg to bnng about a change of government , by gaming the assistance of the remaining portion of . e rmyleft m U , town and of the , people , in taking upon himself the administration , of the affairs o the republic . In this he did not succeed , and on the President s defeat becoming known , and his immediate return expected , Similien effected his escape together with other individual ! implicated in the attempt . He and his disappointed followers were subsequentl y captured and shot . The Consuls

having , however , interfered , only six were executed , the order for carrying the President ' s sanguis nary intention into effect not having been received by the executioners when the letters left Port-au Prince , hopes were entertained that the President would , at the instigation of the representatives of England and the United States , substitute soma other punishment for the cruel order he had made . It was reported throughout the West Indies that the insurrection of General Paez was making great head in Venezuela , and that many of his friends were prepared with considerable forces to assist his cause in various parts of the Republic against Monagas .
