Austria And Hungary. A Letter From Semvi...
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . A letter from SemVin ofthe 22 nd ult ., states that _Gei . Haynau had summoned the garrison of _Petertrardein _, consisting of three battalions of foot and two squadrons of cavalry , to capitulate , with dire menances in case of resistance . 2 , 000 captive Honveds ia the most _dejected state of destitution and misery , had passed _upsn their way from Titel towards Italy . According- to private letters from Arad , tbe
headquarters of Baron Haynau were _transparted thither os the 22 ud . He is expected shortly in Pesth . The garrison of Peterwardein is disposed to brave a seige : the news of Georgey's capitulation produced no desire there to follow " his example . Four Austrian employes in the fortress were turned ou ' . In other respects the fortress was quiet . Prince Lichtenstein & to be the intercessor wiih the emperor for cle-Bency towards the Hungarian army , and is shortly expected .
Of the Stuhlweissenhurg landsturm , who were taken with arms in their hands , six were shot at Pestb , by sentence of court-martial . Comorn has not yet surrendered . Haynan _' s headquarters , on the 22 nd , were at Arad , on his return to Pesth . In a few days march the troops wonld be in ihat city . News from Debreezin siate that Paskiewitch was also returning to Warsaw . Peterwardein was negotiating for surrender , having sent Major Tolh and a captain for that purpose to Haynaifs head-quarters . The Austrian general himself has published aa _arane-ty 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 regulations shall have beea made . The greater part of the Honveds have been dismissed to their homes . Prince Lichten stein has been sent hy the Austrian army to the Emperor at Schonbrunn , 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 "band Paul _Nyary and Csanyi had fallen into the bands of the Austrians , and S 2 emere likewise , with two otber ex-ministers .
A letter of the 23 rd , from Serahn , states that Kossu : b and Bern had arrived in New Orsowa , and put themselves under the protection of the Pasba ; on ths other hand , the * * National' of Berlin positively declares that Kossuth was still at Orsowa , where 100 . 000 (!) Magyars were said to be concentrated . Vienna . —On the 27 th ult theemperor was present at a TeDeum in honour ofthe victories in Hungary he then reviewed on horseback , surrounded with a brilliant staff , the troops of the garrison . August 2 S . —On the emperor ' s birthday , Baron Haynau granted a general amnesty to the Hungarian soldiers , who are to he inserted in the ranks of the Austrian army . All decision with regard to tbe disposal of the officers who had deserted from the Imper ial army , and generally the priuciple personages , civil and military of the Hungarian revolution , he reserved for a future occasion .
_Gjorgey is at Temesvar , and walks at large in the fortress . _Kossnth , with four other chiefs of the revolution , is now said to be at "Widdin , under strict supervision of the Pasha . According to officialintelligence from the headquarters of General Haynau , lhe van guard of the column under Count _Hupcrg , which advanced towards _Birkis , overtook the baggage train ofthe corps of Vecsey at Ha _' alis , and , after some firing , captured if . 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 tb 300 hussars , deserters .
_Comoux . —Up to this date ( the 28 th ult . ) the fortress of Comorn had not capitulated . The truce entered into with Kiapka expires on the 4 th Sep * ember , before which in all probability the Imperial _troaps will have taken possession . "Vienna , August 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 thc occupation of Orsowa hy the Austrian troops . Kossuth , Bern , and Dembinski were still on the left bar . k on the 24 th .
Letters from Bucharest of thel / th ultimo itate ihat _Perci'l 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 fasha agreed , provided all laid down arms , which was done ; whereupon tbe Magyars were ferried over info the fortress . The Russian consul vapoured tremendously ab * ut this . The folio wingis , according to the' Warsaw Courier * the list cf the Hungarian generals , who submitted on the 13 th of August by means of capitulation : —The Commander-in-Chief , General Arthur Georgey ; the
General of Division , Ernst Kisch , Govfnor of Hungary ; the Major-Generals , Aulich ( uncommissioned ;) Alexander Nagy , Corps Commandant ; Baron Poeltenberg , the same ; Count Karl Leiningen , the same ; _"Kntasitsch , of the reserve ; Sshweydel ( uncommissioned ;) Laner , Inspector of Arms . The foUowing members oi the former Hungarian government and of the diet joined the troops which capitulated . Ludwig Tschanyi _, minister ; Franz _Daschf-k , minister ; Siegmund B . Perenyi , supreme judge ; Karl Sass , secre ' ary of state ; John Jesssnak , vice-sheriff , and a number of others .
The Butcher Hatkatj . — 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 the instinct of the butcher . The cause of liberty and of a nation ' s independence has succumbed fo brute violence and overwhelming odds ; henceforth we shall only have to report submissions and capitulations , the burning of Kossuth ' s notzs , condemnations by Austrian drumhead court martial and executions by banging or _sheoting . Even the _memoiyof the inarms to their country ' s independence will live alone in the hearts of their surviving connlrymen . Sis women
have been condemned to several week's imprisonment for trying to get rid of some Kossuth notes , ¦ which the whole nation had equally heen 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 _Auffenbnrg has heen hanged at Arad and CouBt Leiningen shot ; sixteen Hungarian nobles in the same place , seeing no chance of mercy , or feeling despair , are said to have committed suicide ; General Aulich is reported to he of the number . Poor Szemerc , the Hungarian Minister of the Interior has gone mad . Georgey is still with Paskiewitc' _* .
"Lloyd' _gfres news of the 27 th ult . from Raab , according to which Kossuth ' s three children , with their governess , were captured ; as likewise the Baron rss Splenyi , with her three children , and Madame Guyon . _\ l e wonder whether they too are all to be shot ; for the thing is not new , and did not Russia set the example , by shooting women before _regiments , and flogging tbem with the knout ? As for the poar 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 ths 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 the Binat _, for their horrid crime of sympathising
with th- - * Hungarian cause , which be translates into bad _feelln-js and supporting of tbe rebel * * , tbe _contribution of 100 , 000 knapsacks , 10 000 _tfoaks for lhe foot soldi-rs , 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 ol 1 , 000 Austrian _fbrins is held over their doomed beads . The Jews in Arad have not come off scotfree . Hayvau seems to be disappointed of his prey for once - " since the Jews have turned Christians in a body t * ie whole tiopulation has declared itself in--vilvent . _and proved it too , by demonstrating that < rhat money they bad was in Kossuth note ? , which Haynau would fain seize , no doubt , had 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 ' of Se ; t . the 2 nd , writes from Vienna , and says there was a report there on the 29 th ultimo , to the effect that Generals _Aalich and Vetter had been made prisoners by the Austrians , and had been shot _imme-hately ; others say that both had shot _themj-elves . Details have at last reached us respecting au insurrection of the Austrian prisoners of war in Comom , while tbe greater part of the garrison was making its victorious sally as far as Raab . A white flag had been seen to wave for a short time from the "battlements by persons at a great distance even , but tb . 3 signal was not understood . It seems tbat tbe Austrian prisoners , suddenly seized with tbe desire of recovering their liberty , attacked the sentries , and though the small number of troops left behind made

use ol their weap ms in this deadly strife , they were nearly all overpowered and disarmed by men struggling with all tbe energies of despair . The Austrian prisoners triumphed , elected a commander on the spot , took possession of as many important posts as tbey 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 , Kiapka , 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' gires an account of the tragedy at Temesvar , as sent to it by a Honved , and hy which it seems that treachery was at work previous to tbe combat , and that the plans of the commander had been revealed to Haynau . Fkankfoet , Sept . 1 . —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 Hungary , The note in question , which M . de Kisselef communicated to the French government , is to
the effect that the _Csunt N ., foreseeing that explanations would be demanded by the French cabinet , thought it advisable to declare immediately that the Emperor intended to withdraw all his troops to his own dominions as soon us the _itv-uvgeat Hungarians should have all laid down their arms and surrendered the fortresses into the hands of the Austrians . As for Moldavia and Wallaehia , Count N . says that the greater part of the Russian troops would be also withdrawn froa these principalities , and that only such troops would be left as were strictly required for the maintenance of tranquillity . '
( From the' Times . ' ) Vienna , Aug . 29 . —In all probability the permission given by Radetski 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 ia the hands of General Haynau must already have been decided on , as the Emperor ' s aide-de-camp in chief , Count Grunne , who went to head-quarters some days ago , was
doubtlessly the bearer of the monarch ' s will to the Commander-in-Chief . The three fortresses , _Mungacz , Comorn , and Peterwardein , which it will he seen form a complete triangle , have not yet surrendered , but resistance i 3 in vain , and the garrisons must yield or starve . Kiapka , as I have already informed you , is inclined to surrender unconditionally , but it is reported tbat some of the other chiefs who are in the 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 tb , mentions two more executions at Pestb . A Protestant pastor and a printer were shot there because arms had been found in their
pos-. The negotiation for the surrender of Comorn 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 be cut off , and commerce would suffer considerably . Kossuth , Bem , and Dembinski are announced from other quarters to have gone to Constantinople , cia Scmlin ; 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 L ' eut _.-General Berg at 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 ia til thc 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 corquest of Buda hy Georgey was the last beam of the setting sun of the Republic , for
so . _in 2 fter Dembinski was beaten in the north , Perczel in the south , Georgey got fatally entangled at Comorn , and Bem 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 tbe 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 _balhp ); aud I see the grave of so many glorious victories in a tight that is now become dangerous . Our cause is completely lost . The prodigious efforts
made of late have enfeebled my mhd _, 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 . [ Yet 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 . ' Ths news from Vienna is to August 31 . The accounts from Comorn are very conflicting .
According to the' Presse' and ' Wanderer , ' the negotiations with Kiapka have as yet totally failed . Out of 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 hid down tbeir arms . The remaining 6 , 000 were determined on an obstinate defence Kiapka had given every one perfect liherty to retire from the garrison if he pleased , but not a single Honved had availed himself of this permission . The printing press of the " fortress was in full activity , and a newspaper entitled the - Komaromi-lap' appeared daily * .
Tbe condemnations in Hungary contmue . Three more persons have heen shot ia Arad . One of them Count Leiningen who is , or rather was a relative of Queen Victoria ' s . The former commandant of Esseg , the grey and venerable General _Jowieb , 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 Pesth far 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 ov _rehels .-and he bas been sentenced to three months '
hard labour in _iron 3 . The little fortress Deva , in Transylvania , has been blown up by tbe insurgents , 300 strong , rather than surrender . It took place in sight of the Russians , as they were approaching to storm it . The besiegers , on coming up , found only the blackened corpses that had been hurled down tbe rocks , which were here from four to five hundred feet high . Not a man survived to tell the tale and explain the catastrophe , which , perhaps was unintelligible to the horn slaves of Russia . The dislike of Austria towards Russia was increasing h ' jutly . The Austrians , amongst other causes of dislike , are indignant that Georgey ' s corps should have been so imperfectly disarmed , that not only war materials
should have _baen dragged away and secreted , but that even whole ranks should have b : en suffered to retreat into the forests and neighbouring villages , or even to Transylvania , where they may form guerilla bands and carry on the war , heaven knows how long . An c fficer returning from his captivity , met whole trains of hussars on their retreat to Transylvania fully mounted and accoutred . ' Lloyd' says further , that the Kossuth notes have been declared good and valid by Paskiewitch or the Russian officer in coran-and _, and even goes so far as to affirm that Russian officers were buying up and collecting tliese notes . Such an act oa the part of the Russians iu Hungary was naturall y enough regarded by the _Austrtans in a very grave point of view .
According to a Russian courier , who arrived on tlie 21 st ult ., at Czernovitz ( Bukowina , ) General Grosenhjelm bad taken _Klausenburg without opposition , the last city still occupied by the insurgents in Transjlvania . ° A letter from Czernovitz of the 25 th ult ., says that Bern bas been arrested there and was lyi ng severely wounded in the military hospital of Bucharest . Kossuth ' s letter dated Arad , August 11 , addressed to Count Casimir Esterhazy , has been protested against by that nobleman . The name of Esterhazy bad been substituted for that of some otber pe . son . According to the Wanderer , ' the greater part of

the Russian army has received orders to return to Galicia .
FRANCE . Paris , Saturday . _—Gbuman 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 Switzer . land a sort of political trap . ' Not Russian soldiers , but Austrians are gathering on the Swiss frontier . The Vorarlberg is not tbe point threatened , hut 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 m the *• Union ' : _—¦*• According to a decision come to bythe General Democratic Committee , at whose meeting the flower of the Mountain is twice a-week present , the general rendezvous of the exiled democratic party is to take place at Geneva , as being only the distance ofa cannon shot from Lyons and from Chalons-sur-Saone . According to letters rsceived 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 the ** Bien du Peuple , ' a provincial paper , has been sentenced to one month's imprisonment and 200 francs fine for having in a public cafe uttered words grossly insulting to the President of the Bepublic .
More Prosecutions of the Press . —The director of the Journal' La Vraie Republique' has been condemned by the Court of _Assize 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 oue month to one year ' 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 ' Independant' 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 fndre three democrats , Socialists , convicted of affiliation in a secret society ( the Solidarite Itepublicaine' ) , are to suffer six and eight months' imprisonment , respectively .
Paris , Monday . —The President of the 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 _heatd of Vive la Republique' from the Artillery of the National Guard . But otherwise along the line uotbirg was heard but the most joyous acclamations . —• Timrs * 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 oi attention as in London . The President of the Republic , on leaving Meaux , amongst other marks of his munificence , left l , 000 f . to the bishop of Ihat place fer the poor of the arrondissement .
'Itis announced , 'says the * Patne , ' 'that the council of state is engaged in the preparation of a law relative to the transportation to Algeria of the _prisonsrs of June who remain at Belle Isle . The council is also engaged in a general law regarding transpor ' ation . Mayette is still spoken of as the place for persons condemned to be transported for political offences . ' Litters from Marseilles state that the cholera is gaining ground in that town . The average number of deaths is forty per day .
M . Schmidt , editor of tbe ' Volksrepublick , ' has ju 3 t been tried by the Court of Assizes of the Ilaut-Rhin , for publishing an article originally given in the ' Travail Affranchi , ' exciting to civil war . The jury retimed a verdict of acquittal . M . Schmidt then left the court , amidst loud cries from his friends of I Vive la R- 'publique ! ' Vive la Constitution ' . ' The same day the editor of the ' Rbin' was summoned to appear before the court for the same offence . Not having made his appearance , he was sentenced , by default , to three months'impiitonmeat , and 1 , 000 f . 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 Fedeial Council—1 st . to declare null and vcid , in the name of the Confederation , the capitulation concluded with thc 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 Tights 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 i > kept over the French refugees at Geneva . The description of Sergeant Boichet has been sent to all the _hriga ies of gendarmerie . ' The - New Zurich Gazette' of the 29 th ult . states ,
from Ticino , that more Austrian troops have _been ordered to the Swiss frontier , and that a strong column has arrived at Comorn . The while corps is to bc 10 , 000 stron - ; . 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 Piedmonlese infantry , commanded hy the Duke of Genoa , had received the posts at Novara from ihe 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 and English consuls appeared at the _head-quarters of General _Gorzkoivaky , as tbe 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 . _Thirsfcre they retired . On the 20 th ult ., however , there appeared a numerous depu _t ation of Venetians , of all _condifi-ins _, who
declared themselves ready for immediate surrender , but wished to stipulate that their paper money , which circulated to the amount of sixty millions of _zwanzigcrs , should he accepted and continue at seventy-five . The Aiiitrian general , who declined also this proposal , nevertheless notified the same o the minister Bruck and the field-marshal , who immediately set out for Mestre , aad brought the transaction to a termination . It is reported that the parta patriotica of the Venetians . is provisionally rejected , but the possibility of the conversion is honed for . ?
The Risorgimen'o' of Turin publishes a letter from Venice of the 22 d ult stating that , on the I 3 th , Manin 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 _Venice , without concealing any circumstance , and concluded with these words : ' And whatever may happen , say , this man was deceived , but nevsr say , this man has deceived us . I have n ? . ver 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 stale that a great number of those who were most deeply implicated in the insurrection of that city were making their escape by way of the _Adriatic The' Risorgimento' of Turin states from Venice , 27 th ult ., that the cholera hen 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 , the first fixing the departure of the eight vessels destined to convey the refugees to
Corfu , Patras , or Alexandria , to the 28 th instead of the 27 tb ; the second , announcing that the post was to recommence its functions on the 27 th ; the third , declaring the communal paper to have its nominal value for one day more , since the town was not to be occupied till the 28 th by the Aust * ian _troopr 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 by it . These decrees are signed by the members of the government commission , composed of Venetians . The _blorjcade of Venice was raised on the 27 tb ult , _Fw-the-s-reseat the tax upon imported food

bas been suspended , that the city may receive abundant supplies . * Letters from Venice of the 28 th ult . announce that the Austrians were on that day in complete possession of the city , and that _President Manin , General Pepe , and forty persons moBt compromised iu the revolution , had embarked in the French war steamer Pluton for Corfu . General Garzkeivski had been appointed Civil and Military Governor , and M . Mazzini Prefect of Venice . ROME . —The ' Giornale di Roma , ' contradicts 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 purpose 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 _'IMvers' pnblshes a letter from Naples _. dated the 24 th ult .: —* Naples expects the sovereign pontiff ; the royal residence at Portici is preparing for his reception , which is a delightful abode at all times , 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 _Sih , the day ofthe nativity , at the fete di Maria di Pie di Grotta , so dear to the Neapolitans , and at the grand review which thc 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 toivards 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 bead of the church will return to the eternal city .
MlIAN . —In the long list of names of persons arrested lor 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 batter , 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 _effisaeious on that account ; and the difference in thickness is fully outweighted by the absence of any covering , the male victim being alway 9 allowed his shirt .
Accounts from Turin , received this morning , state that the Austrians vacated Novara on the 26 : h 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 th ult ., a provisional credit of 100 , 000 livres was voted for assistance to refugees from aU parts of ltalv . LOMBARDY .-Thc ' Milan Gazette * of the 30 th ult . contains the following : —•
' The Military Governor of Verona bas adopted very severe measures , in order to repress the excesses committed by bands of malefactors in the provinces ofthe Lombardo-Tenetian kingdom . The districts which shall receive them , supply them with _provi-> ions , or apprise thera of the arrival of tbe armed force , are to be babe ) to a fine , the amount of wliich will vary according to circumstances . The inhabitants who shall give them an asylum are to be re garded 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 600 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 _relatiuj to this proclamation are to be dismissed , and otherwise punished if necessary . '
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 the two parties by whom the city is divided . It assumed such a character that resources was obliged to be bud to arms , and several soldiers _werg wounded . A Prussian _pairol cleared the streets at the point of tbe
bayonet , threatening to fire upon the people . Not * withstanding these excesses , the Prussian troops quitted the city to-day . The Danish party broke into several houses and pillaged them . They also broke open the residence of Senator Hunningsen ; the gendarmes , and some convalescent soldiers were sent for , and advanced , bayonet in hand , towards the mob , and , having in vain called upon thera 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 blood . August 29 . —The only event of consequence to note is lhe arrival of about 3 , 000 Sweeds in Flensburg , and 000 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 .
The Landwehr troops ot _Pmssiahave already commenced moving away , and by the 3 d of next month about 6 , 000 men will have left this city . About 3 500 troops of the line , including the 8 th Hussars , will remain here for some time longer , with a battery of 12 . p- * unders . A commission has already been appointed to re-organise tbe civic guard of this citv .
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 frei ght , and 100 pas _senders . With the exception of the excitement consequent upon ihe continued organisation of the exppuitfon to Cuba , the political accounts from the United States arc very uninteresting . President Taylor had _comph'tfly recovered from the severe attack of illness under which he laboured on tbe sailing of the last steamer , and was proceeding on his nonhern tour . General _Avezinua had arrived at New York . Notwithstanding the President ' s proclamation against the secret expedition to Cuba , the project was still being actively carried out —Wc extract the
following from the ' New York Express' : — _'Meetings are _n-ghtly held in this city , some secretly , some more publicly , and organisations of a very extensive character are forming for _sime secret expedition , of which no one engaged but the leaders know anything . . _Saveral 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 . 0 : i Monday evening a large number of these men met at La Fayette Hall , when the meeting was called to order by _Colontl Carr ; a large number enrolled their names on the promise of seven dollars a month , and 1 _, 0 'JO dollars at the end of the year . Next Saturday is the appointed time for sailing , and , while the real destination of the expedition i & unknown , it is given out at a gold hunt to California . * * *
Tho men engaged in this movement are young mm , who are out of employment , but arc good looking , stout , healthy persons , ripe for any exciting adventure ; indeed , many of them are volunteers who have been in Mexico , and who showed as great a relish ( ot this expedition as they did for _thtt . W e therefore wish to caution our citi zens tbat they look on both sides of the picture hefore they engage in this enterprise . In discussing this subject the journals generally indicate by their tone the existence of considerable excitement , and we find it stated that a steamship had been despatched to the Gulf of Mexico with sealed orders , supposed to refer to the intended

According to these letters Sonnso , at the head of 4 , 000 men , had assaulted the city of Nicaragua , destroyed it by fire , and sacrificed ' the lives of its inhabitants . Somoso did not obtain much wealth by this assault ; a small amount only of gold , silver ,
and -jewellery fell into his hands ; hut the total amount of property destroyed exceeded 2 , 000 , 000 . It is not possible that all the inhabitants ot the city were sacrificed , s _iiue must have escaped . This terrible affair had aroused Munos , who had gathered a force of * 7 f _^ regulars , with whom he was advancing tomeet * SoffiQso , anditwas expected that a battle _betvteeu them . would take place on that day—the 8 th ult .

' 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 tbe English Consul Mr .

_Cali ? or * _sia . —Ships wer _j 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 thc 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 matket . The want of warehouses adds greatly to the embarrassment of the times , as the goods must , for the most part , he kept on shipboard . Gold was beginning to come in freely from the mines as the season advanced , and the _ireneral tendency of the population was for the gold region .

RIOTS JN 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 the Parliament house These arrrests were during the day , without opposition , except in one or two cases , but in the evening a large mob assemWed and proceeded to the house of M . Lafontaine , the Attorney General , which they 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 mi 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 troops , who were in considerable force . Tbey made no attack , however , upon the mob . The funeral of Mason was attended by an immense concourse , the 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 tbe most _comnlete account of the disturbances : —
' MoNTREAr ., August 15 . —There has been considerable excitement in the city since last communication , and _fiie persons have been arrested for arson . Tbeir names are Cooke , Orr , Dier , Ewing , 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 , Notre Dame-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 , were fired upon , and one man , by the name of Mason , received ten slugs in his body . This roan died at an early hour this morning . It is expected ihat serious disturbances will ensue in consequence . The military were called out , and paraded the streets tbe 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 , Denegan ' s elegant hotel took fi . _* e , and is now in ruins . In the endeavour to extinguish the flames , one of the city firemen was _kill--d . The inmates effected their escape , with the loss of some properly . The value of the hotel , and other property destroyed , is estmated at .- £ 30 , 000 , on which there was an insurance of £ 1-1 , 000 , £ 2 , 000 of which is in tbe _yE-na . The fire is supposed to have originated accidentally .
' August 20 . — The coroner's investigation relative to the death oi Mason was resumed this morning at the Cyphrus Hotel , and 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 confusioiieiisued ; thesoldiers on guard ran about with fixed bayonets ; and M . Lafontaine was eventually escorted to the government-house in tbe centre of a square of troops . The lire 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 ariivad in townon Friday night immediately left for Monklands . He is said to have been the bearer of important _despatches . ' WEST INDIES . The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company ' s ship Deo , Captain * W .

The troops of this place also joined him , and the only person left tliere on the 29 th of . Tunc , of any authority , was the Collector of Customs . It was further reported , that Samosa intended to march upon the British settlement of Grey Town , but had been hitherto
prevented by the want of boats to convey his forces down a portion ofthe river . Another boat arrived shortly afterwards , and despatches also reached Grey Town on the day of thc Dee ' s departure , mentioning that Samosa , having been defeated and captured by the government troops , had been sentenced to death . General Munoz _, however , the commander-in-chief of the government troops , was preparing to go down to Grey Town with an armed torce .

When the Deo left , tho disease had sensibly abated , although the fatal cases at one timo amounted to 00 and 100 per diem . Tho authorities had ordered the frequent discharge of cannons and other firearms , which was said" to have had thc effect of destroying the impregnated state of tlio atmosphere , and tended , in an extraordinary manner , to abate the disease , which , it was feared , would take off thousands ofthe poople , if unchecked ! The want of provisions continued to be felt . It
was said , thc ravages of the disease had been accelerated hy starvation , the people of tho interior being fearful of going into the town with provisions . Supplies were only , therefore , received by foreign _ves-icls arriving at Carthagena . The Jamaica Morning Journal' of the 7 _ih of August has late , advices from PorLan . Prince , Hayli . by which wo learn that there had be ? n some more bloody work _goinj on in ihat unfortunate _couii'iy . No less than six persons who had hitherto held high offiees under the government had heen ordered hy President _Soulouque to be sho ' , and the order was immediately carried ir . to c-il ' tct . If it had not
been for ths interference of fie Uritish aud American 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 _Shnilien , who had been for some time a distinguished member of the President ' s household , and who was left by him to conduct matters during the march against the Dominicans . It is stated that Genrral Similien
took advantage of _Sjulosque ' s absence in endeavouring to bring about a change of government , bv obtaining the assistance of the remaining poition of the army left in th- ; town and of the people , in taking upon himself the administration of the affairs of the republic .
