France. In The National Assembly, On Wed...
FRANCE . In the National Assembly , on Wednesday , a scene of indescribable confusion took place . M . Dupiu having been obliged to call M . _Barrault to order , the Mountain en masse declared that , the tribune being no longer free , they would take no part in the debate . Paris , Friday . —The report cf M . Boucher , in the name of the committee appointed to examine the question of the duty ou potable liquors , and which was distributed yesterday to the members of the _legislative Assembly , commences by stating that the Constituent Assembly , when on the point of separating , had passed a hill to take off the _vrho ' e
duty , amounting lo Utile less than 100 millions a year . But the financial position of the country fca _3 not by any means improved to such a degree as to admit of that extensive sacrifice . The budget for 1850 , presented by M . Passv , showed a deficit of 320 millions , even when maintaining the duty in question . The present minister of finance adopted in part the estimates cf his predecessors , hut proposingother means of providing for the insufficiency of the ordinary resources—2 nd by him also the duty on potable liquors was looked on as absolutely required by the state of the finances . The committee could not suppose that it ought , under such circumstance ? , to recommend the Assemblv to a < _n ° ee to the
abrogation of the duty , unless very peculiar eircmas ' . auces connected _, wiih its collection and effects absolutely required it . The document thpn proceeds to _shoiv what the amount of duty is in _different foreign countries , and gives an historical account of its operations in France from the organic decree of the 25 _Ventote , year XII . to the bill of May 29 th , 1849 . The report enters into an examination of the different taxes which make up tbe duty on potable liquors , and concludes the catalogue of advantages by declaring that it produces 100 millions a year to tiie state ; furnishes nearly one-third of the octroi revenue , and gives employment to a vast nuiahsr of _peisons in every part of the conntry . The _disadrantae-a of the duty are , that the collection is
attended with a number of anaoyances to agriculture and commerce ; trammels to a certain extent the circulation aud sale of potable liquors ; imposing a tax on twenty-five millions of consumers , whilst it e x emp ts ten millions of producers ; calls on five millions of persons inhabiting the towns to pay an additional duty , wbich tbe thirty millions of inhabitants of the country districts are free from ; and , finally , requires no direct purchases , ma de on a wholesale scale , such as wealthy people alone could m ake , an amount of duty inferior to that pressing on consumption in detail . It concludes by recommending the Assembly not to consent to give up so large a _sum as -was _produced by the duty , hut to authorise ths government to continue to collect it during thc rear 1850 .
Paris , Saturday ;—Tae debate in thc Chamber jesterday was upon a motion made b y s everal Montagnard members , for allowing a sum of three _Toi'lious to subsidise working associations in the capital . Tbe _sabject was treated with indifference by tha Assembly , which , however , was rou s ed from its apathy by M . d'Hautpnnl ascending the tribune to read tbe following telegraphic despatch : — * THE GOVERNOR _GEXERA . L OP ALGIERS TO THE JItSISTES . AT _TTAE . Algiers , Dec . 2—Zaatcha was carried hy Btorm at eight o ' clock , a . ffl ., on the the 26 th ult . _Bouzian and the Scherifi * Si-Moussa-Bou-Amar , aud the 700 or 800 mea of the garrison , defended themselves to the last , and were all put to the sword . Our loss consists of thirty or forty killed , and 150 wounded , of whom six are officers . *
The reading of this despatch produced tee deepest emotion in the _Assembly , _particularl y the part which states that the Arabs dud to a man in defence of their post . It was some time before the agitation subsided . The rest of the day wa 3 taken up with the debate of the proposition _ailuded to . The A s semb ly decided , liy a majority of 399 votes to 18 S , that it should not he taken into _consideration . We read in the ' Pains' and * Moniteur du _Soir ' of yesterday evening : — 'The President of the Republic has recovered from his indisposition , but the state of his health will not yet permit him io be exposed for five or sis . hours to ihe temperature of the season . The review of the national guard and the army cannot , therefore , take p lace mi . iionday next . " The rumours to ths effect that tbe review would not . take p lace arc- -hus verified ; thc dinner at the Hotel de Yille and the hall are to be given .
It was to be expected that the government would attribute the adjournment of the review to any cause but a political one , but the democratic papers are more explicit . * We were prepared , " says the ' National , ' * for this announcement , and we had even previously announced that the review would not take place . It was thought that the dissolution of four legions and the purifications which have been made iu the companies still organised would be sufficient to ensure the _enthusiasm of the National Guard for the project ef the Elysee . The information received by M . Carlier has destroyed these hopes . The review is consequently countermanded . It is a new attempt , which has failed . '
The French gnvernmen ' _j has received , by telegrap hic despatch , © facial news that the Queen of S > ais is encetnfe . The _announcetircnt appears in the official columns of the' Madrid _Gazette . ' According to Spanish eti quette , this announcement was not made until her Majesty had arrived at the third month of her pregnancy . _Qaefii Isabella completed her nineteenth year en the 10 th of October last . Paris , Monday . —M . Dupin , President of the National Assembly , gave his grand dinner yesterday to the President of The Kepnblic . Amongst other toasts given on the occasion by M . Dup ' n ; fce following is one— ' To ihe health of the _President of the Republic , and to the union of ths public _authorities ( or ike consolidation of order at home and the honourable maintenance of peace aud friend !? relations with other nations . '
The President oi the Republic _reiurued thanks in the following words : — ' It is a lucky omen for peace at hcae and abroad that this first anniversary of the 10 th of December is celebrated 5 a the midst of a great number of tbe members of the Assembly , said in Use _jirsss-nce of the Diplomatic Corps . _Between the _National Assembly aad me there is a community of ori gin and a community of interests . _"Boi _' . i are the _isme of popular _suffrage . We both a-. pire to the 5 S ; ne o " : 5 ee '—the _consol'daticn of society and the _prosperity of tbe country . Permit me , theieiore . \ o _Tensat ins toast of your President , — ' To ihe unieu of ihe public authorities . 1 add , * To the Assembly ami its honourable President . ' Both toasts were received with applause .
The President of the Kepnblic rode oa horseback yesterday , aad as ha pissed through the Champs El ysees , w hich , owing to tbe fine weather , made a display of _eyni pages nearly equal to what was seen before the revolution of February , received numerous marks of public satisfaction ( from the mob of aristocrats ) at his recovuy from his recent indisposition-Ths Question of thk Keductiox of the Army was _debated on _Thuriilay _. in the sitting of the Assembly , on account of a bill for the military contingent of 1849 . The contingent w _? s fixed at S 0 , 000 menby the Minister of War , and two amendments were presented to reduce it to 40 , 000 , or at least to 60 , 000 , but the Assembly adhered to the original figure of 80 . 000 . M . d'Hautpoul , the Minister of War , has declared that the political situation of Europe prevented the _government from reducing the
army . Pusishmest of Death . —In the Assembly , ou Saturday , the discussion was continued on the proposition of M . _Salva-ier Larochs for tbe abolitim of tbe penalty of-death . A division took place , when there _appeared , —for the proposition , 182 ; against it , 400 . _Paris , "Wednesday . — The ' Moniteur' contains upwards of sixty nominations and promotions in the order of the Legion of Honour . Private letters from Constantinople of the 25 th olL state that the _iLffrrencs _bettvejn tbe Russian and Turkish governments still _remained unsettled . The Turkish government refuse to expel the Poles who had fixed their residence in Turkey previous to the Hungarian _insurrcc-ion . Major Rawlinfon had arrived at Constantinop le from Bagdad on his way to En gland ,
ITALY . ROME , Nov . 23 . —Soma ladies who , with their families 2 nd friends , were carried off by tbe Roman _abirri and French gendarmes to prison , for attending a funeral service for the men who fell in the revolution , have been allowed to return , but remain under arrest in their houses , aad have been compelled to give a written promise to receive no visitors ; but the men have been sent to the common prison amongst the malefactors , although many of them -were not iu tbe church where the military funeral service was performed .. The surgeons and medical men who assisted the _wouflded atthe hospitals have been dismissed , and

will be prohibited from acting in their profession at the public institutions . The priests also who assisted the dying Republicans bave been put in prison , at the disposal of the Cardinal Vicar . The Protestant missionary , Dr . Giacinto Achilli , who was thrown into the dungeons of the Inquisition , but afterwards removed to the Castle of St . Angelo through the influence and personal exertions of the British Consul , is still there , and although confined for four months has not yet been examined But be is now placed at the disposal of the Inquisi - tion ; and if not liberated before the French quit , be will be doomed , in all probability , to die a lingering death in the prisons of the Inquisition , restored by General Ondinot .
In the order of the day , addressed to the French troops by General Baraguay d'Hilliere , there is an important expression—le ., ' that they must not consider their mission as at an end ; and that if they should be called upon to meet an enemy iu the field , he calculates and can depend upon their courage aad discipline . ' This looks rather warlike . NAPLES , Nov , 24- A gloom hangs over the Pope ' s camarilla , and despatches from France are looked for with anxiety and fear . His Holiness' gaolers have again changed policy—the prisoner is to remain at Portici or Gaeta until the political atmosp here assumes a clearer aspect . Since my last communication his Holiness has again visited churches and convents , nhich events have heen recorded with the usual ecclesiastical
nourish in the journals , that nothing but endless _prosperity and happiness can possibly attend a people wl o have received so many blessings from Christ ' s vicegerent on earth . The state trials are still suspended , and as arrests continue , I suppose so many persons have _been'dsnounced for their constitutional opinions , it is found necessary to net more game before legal proceedings can begin . Several persons have been shot at Palermo for concealing arms . I cannot give the names , but 1 know they belong to the poorer classes . The island is described to be in a discontented state . A regiment of Swiss bas left "Naples on that account .
I have already alluded to the geueral disarming of the population wbicb is now taking plaee , but having witnessed lately something of its operation and e f fe cts , I think some farther notice ofit may be welcome . In the first place , the most remote nooks are subjected to it , and rocks tenanted by hirds aud mariners and a few native sportsman who thur gain their livelihood , are sought out and disarmed by the lynx-eyed police of Naples . This week General Stateila , with a company of mounted gendarmes and several companies of infantry has heen enforcing this unnecessary and detested measure on the coast from Naples to Ma 3 sa . The guns are taken , no receipt riven , and are thus lost to the
owners . If refused the recusants are marched off to prison , as happened , I am told , to the district judge in one place . At Torre del Greco , an Eng lish m a n ( Mr . Drinkwater ) who bas been established in that place for seme time , on heing applied to for his arras positively refused to give them up , and referred the general to Mr Temple as th 3 ouly person who had any ri ght to interfere . A communication was made to Naples of this fact , and instructions were received to deliver up his arms to a Frenchman -who had already consigned them . So that from this I infer that the decree does not extend to foreigners . Consistently , too , with tbe demoralised habits both of people and government , this disarming has offered a
fine opportunity for the gratification of malice and vindictiveness . Persons have been denounced as having arms which they did not possess , and ihe d e nuncia t ion has , as usual , been sucked in with a ready ear , so that the unfortunates in several cases have been compelled to buy guns at a smalljprice , and present them , ia order to escape threatened castigation or imprisonment . Apropos to this is the case of a count , who had a friend whom he treated with great kindness and confidence . As a return , the fr i end robbed hi m , and was immediately dismissed bv tbe court ; but here , so influential is the
_occupation of the informer , that malice has always a ready mode of gratifying itself . Tbe count was denounced by his quondam friend , as having armc and ammunition in his _psssession ; his house was searched , and he himself thrown into prison , where he lay for a long time , and was liberated , I am Hid , only on condition of exit ? . At Amaifi , I was told by an Amalfitano , that , to the annoyance of having their arms taken from them was added , in some cases , the superfluous insult of a kick from one of the commission , and au order to have their beards cut ofr .
PIEDMONT . —The ' _Risorgimento' of Turin of the 3 rd announces that Silvio Pellico , the celebrated author , has come forward as a candida'e at the next elections of Piedmont , having hitherto kepi aloof from all political affairs .
GERMANY . The Acquittal of Waideck . — "We reported in our last the acquittal of Waldeck . On tbe verdict heing given the defendant was immediately surrounded and embraced by his ancient parliamentary friends and colleagues , who had remaiued on purpose to hear the end of the proceedings . Meanwhile the joyful news had spread abroad in the immediate neighbourhood of the court , where a large concourse of respectable persons were waiting for the decision . Preparations were immediately made tor carrying Waldeck in triumph to his home . But the late prisoner , wishing to avoid _anything
that might give offence to the authorities , left the court-house with his friends by a back entrance , and had nearly succeeded iu escaping in a coach ready in waiting for him from the noisy demonstrations which were intended for him , but he was no sooner discovered than the whoie stream rushed after the carriage . The mob succeeded in arresting its further progress when it reached the bridge on which stands the equestrian statue of the great Elector ; the horses were immediately taken off , and a triumphal procession formed , which proceeded past the Schloss and the palace of the Prince of Prussia , and down the _Unter der Linden . Here Waldeck succeeded in
escaping from the honourable ovations -which the thousands assembled were casting at his feet . It was a scene such as Berlin bas not witnessed since the revolution . Very soon , to " , tbe fl ying venders of pamp hlets aud papers made their appearance , notwithstanding the ban under which _Mantenffcl lias placed them and the threats of the constables . A ballad , commenced with the words ' "Waldeck is free , ' was for a short time offered for sale , and the aristocratic street of Unter den Linden , during that s hor t space , bore such an appearance that one mi ght have believed oneself transported back to the days of the revolution . But the dark _sp irit of the great ManteufM still hovered over the merry scene , and it bad lasted barely au hour when a body of constables in close order swept the _streefs clean of all appearance of democratic anarchv .
That I may not insult Waldeck b y passing at once from his trial to the proceedings of the Second Chamber , I will add here that very important and interesting explanations oi tbe proceedings of the extreme rectionary party are expected to result from the new trial of Ohm . Having had torn from his face tbe mask of a martyr , it is hoped tbat Ohm will not hesitate to name thc parties who have employ m him . The scoundrel did not exhibit to-day the same degree of impudence and carelessness which he dis' _played on the previous days ; the workings of a disturbed Conscience was apparent in every feature of his pale face , and he will no doubt prove himself rascal e n ou gh to involve in his own destruction those who bave distroyed him—that is to say , if he is not more clos e l y watched than he was in ihe house of the faithful , careful , and most honourable president of police , Herr von Hinkeldey .
Berlin , Dec . 4 . —The excitement consequent upou the acquittal of Waldeck , and which pervaded the whole city until late in the evening , resulted in some parts in tumultuous disturbances In ihe more distant parts of the city , which are the virtual strongholds of the democratic party , many of the houses . vere illuminated in honour of the result of the trial ; but the constables forced an entrance into all the houses so illuminated , and extinguished the li ghts , w hereb y , o f course , the most violent struggles occurred , aud numerous parties were arrested . In the street , too , in which Waldeck lives , crowds of persons , dtsirous of testifying their respect to the acquitted , though in a somewhat noisy fashion , gradually collected , and several violent scenes occurred , in which the armed power did not hesitate to use tbeir side arms .
Waldeck was presented this morning with a silver civic crown : the parties by whom this present was made are the leaders of the democratic party , of whom a deputation waited upon him for the purpose of presenting him with it . Nothing has yet been heard of the arrest of Goedsche . The impudent vagabond has published a letter to-day in one of the papers , in which he savs tbat be shall not he content witb calmly waiting for proceedings to be taken against hira by the public prosecutor , but that he himself demands an inquiry _SAXOiNY . -The strength of the democratic part

in the Dresden Chamber is a token that the Saxons are by no means inclined to abandon without a struggle the ground which they won in 1848 . The political feeling of the people in that monarchy is not smouldering as in Prussia , nor indifferent as in Austria , but active aud unrepressed . There is in fact no force there on which the government could depend for carrying cut such a system of intimidation as that upheld by the great German powers . The Saxon military do not regird a laced coat and cross-belt as placing an insuperable barrier between them and tlieir families ; and bad not the greater part ofthe army been absent in _Schleswig-Hoistein durinir tbe affair of May , the Prussians would have
been fo r ced , perhaps , to remain on the rig h t bank of the Elbe , and the insurgents have triumphed . In the meantime the Prussian and Austrian governments regard with equal displeasure a fermentation , which cannot fail to spiead beyond the Saxon border into their respective dominions ; and the occupation of tha Bohemian frontier , by an Austrian army shows that , in case of an opportunity for intervention , the task this time will probably not devolve ori Prussia . Of the speedy occupation of Saxony by Austrian troops there can hardly remain any duubt . The Chamber will be dissolved , and the black and yellow Sag be _called in to establish the same regime of terr o r w bich r ei gns-under its auspices in other places .
The snow slill continues without abatement , for the wlKsle week this _unpreecdentsd storm has endured without pause . The watermills are everywhere stopped . A great number of barges laden . vith fuel have been icslocked . All night long companies of workmen are in tbe streets , attended by torchmen , hewing with mattocks at the hardened snow , which is carried off in carts . OLDENBURG . —The Diet of Oldenburg has refu ed , by _twenty-two votes against nineteen , to ratify its adhesion to the Federal State . The ministers have all tendered their resis nations , and the Graud Duke has prorogued the Diet to the 28 tb December .
Berwn , Dec . 3 . —Another note has been addressed to the Prussian government by that of Austria . In it theAustrian government declares that it entertains fears for the public peace of Germany , if the Erfurt parliament should really be assembled , and that it is determined to interfere to preventany such disturbance of the peace . The note , then , is not directed against the assembly of the Erfurt parliament , but against its probable consequences . T am assured that the Prussian answer is worded
equally energetically ; somewhat to thc effect that Prussia sees in the convocation of the Erfurt parliament not merely no source of fresh troubles , but , on the contrary , the best means of preserving lasting tranquillity in Germany ; it declares the fears of Austria to be perfectly unfounded , but supposing even , what is really improbable , that disturbances should arise , Prussia has already shown that it possesses the power of restoring peace and order , oven at a time when Austria was prevented from rendering- it any assistance .
M . Eichler . one of the leaders of the Democratic party , who has long been concealed in Berlin , and has escaped the vigilence of tlie police by an adroit use of disguises and concealed residences , has just been arrested . A letter was found on him , referring to the late trial oi Waldeck , which it is considered contains treasonable matter . The authorities of several ofthe towns in the province of Posen have lately observed , with some surprise , that ; in sp ite of the ravages of the cholera among tbe Jewish population , which it'is known suffered severely bv tbe disease , the male members
of the families did not appear to be decreased in number . This led to some inquiry , and it has been f » und that the vacancies , as they occurred , were filled up by an immigration of Jetvsfrom the Russian territory of Poland , who took the name of the deceased , and lived with the family , of course by a private agreement . They thus become absorbed among the subjects of Prussia , and escaped the severe Russian military proscrip tion , which ths Poluh Jews detest , and avoid by all possible devices . The number of these substituted for persons known to have died nf the cholera is stated at GOO .
Konigsbkrg . —The trials for political offences here hate _brought to light another plot against ihe liberty of the subject . One of the parties accused o f hi gh treason , Herr _Motzkus , a government official , has been acquitted , as it appeared clearly from tho cross-examination of the _witnesses for the prosecution , tbat the indictment ofthe accused , _whois-a wellkuown democrat , was the result of a formal ploi concocted by three members of the Piuasian Union . Prussian Freedom . —The following advertisement appears in one of the Berlin papers : — ' To protect mv fellow-citizens freui injury , I think it right
to pive notice , that for reporting the arrival of ray nephew , J . Stand , from Augsburg , one hour and a half after the legal time , I have been fined five ' ¦ halers , threfi groschen ; and in default of paym e nt eight days ' imprisonment . —J . G . _Staxd _, Berlin . ' Nor is this strictness confined to its relations to the public : tbe oldest and most severe regulations of the police discipline are enforced occasionall y among its own agents . Even words that can be construed into ' disrespect to the _uuifariu " arc severely punished . A constable last week had the good fortune to win 25 , 000 thalers in the lottery ; he was nn ihitv when the news was communicated to him .
' Then , thauk Heaven , ' he said , ' I can throw off this coat ! ' The words were reported , and he is at present undergoing an imprisonment of six weeks as an expiation for forgetting the sacredne ; s of the royal cloth .
AUSTRIA . A telegraphic despatch , dated Vienna , Dec . 6 says : — ' The Minister of War has sent orders by tbe telegraph to the in antry regiment Alexander , quartered at Theresienstadt , iu Bohemia , t o be u nder marching orders for Saxouy within _fonr-aild-tweilty hours .
AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . Fifteen sentences have been condemned by the military court sitting at Arad : two of the political offenders were ¦ sentenced to ten years' fortress arrest , and thirteen lo be shot ; the \ roperty of all was confiscated . General Haynau has commuted the punishment of death into thirteen years ' confinement in a fortress . The unfortunate men were formerly in the Austrian service . The ' Cologne GazMe , ' in an electric telegrap hic message from Vlvnna , dated tbe 5 ib inst ., announces a ministerial crisis in consequences of a misunderstanding between Prince _Scbwaizenberg h and Or Bach , the minister of the interior ; the latter wished to resign .
Snow _Stukms in German _? , —Thc communication between Berlin add Vienna is interrupted , the mail being ' snowe d in . ' The journals from Silesia are full of nothing but snow ; such a fall has not heen known even in the memory of that respected referee , the ' oldest inhabitant , ' whose opinion has as much weight there as in England . The communication between neighbouring towns is stopped , the roads not bf-ing _passable to hoofs or wheels i it is not said whether the people had tried sledges , which bave begun to appear in Berlin . Tha posts are all irregular , some being off for days together . On the Vienna line of rail the irregularity has not been created by the elements ; it is merely increased . In Ratiber and other places the snow has beeen falling for eight day .-. - without cessation .
Adolf riscbhof occupies a rack among the Austrian liberals little inferior to tliat held by Waldeck among the Prussians . This deputy , whose voice was one of ihe most powerful , on the 13 th of M arch , in demanding free institutions for his countrymen , failed not to draw upon himself , in the hour of reaction , the full weight of the court ' s displeasure . Fischhof has been- imprisoned for nine months , and is now at last set at liberty , nothing whatever having been found against biw ' , after no stone has been left un ' turned to implicate bim in some punishable offence . The _members'of Kossuth ' s family , consisting of women and _children , who were in arrest , have been liberated .
THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES . Constantinople , Nov . 15 . —From the contents of a despatch received yesterday from Fai : d Effendi , there is every reason to believe that _diplomatic relations will shortly he resumed between the Porte and the cabinets of Vienna and St . Petershurgh . The only remaining obstacle is whether the Hungarian refugees shall settle in Turkey or not . The English ambassador has had long and frequent interviews with the Grand Viser and the Minister for Foreign Affairs . The ministers for Austria and Russia have also had conferences witb the latter _official .
A letter from Shoumla of tbe 1 st states : ' On tha 28 th ult . 1 , 5000 Poles from Widdin arrived here , commanded by Prince Zamoisky , fbey were very kindly received by the Governor , and supplied with all things necessary for their subsistence They bad suffered greatly during their march , and * three perished on tbe way from fatigue .

_^ op inion here _¦«^ . _^ J _^ 0 J ° C E the _Wrorof Russia intends to allow th difference existing between himself and the lone _ffeman unsettled until the spring , when he wil h / _flbTe to commence hostilities . At present there s no tS slightest prospect of friendly relations beta ; re-established between the Sultan and the Sr It is true tbat the demand for the _extraditZ of the Hungarian refugees has been given up , _S I ?** _^ rian cabinet has even conde = the precip itate manner in which Count Stunner _tended diplomatic relations with the Porte . But iSh demand made by the Russian ambassador
for tbe expulsion of all Polish refugees resident in Tirkev i the revolution of 3830 . is as _littl . _Hkely to be complied with by the Saltan ' s ministers ! s tha made by Prince _Radzivil . The retol of tie Porte to expel tbe Polish refugees , as well as the delav it must occasion , was of course foreseen by the Czar . The note of the Turkish cabinet She subject has been sent to St Petershurgh and six weeks or two months will elapse before M . de Titoff can receive fresh instructions from his government . In the meantime , diplomatic relations continue to be suspended between the allied
_imnerial powers and the Porte . The same irritation and anxiety prevail as before , and the Turks eontinue with the same energy their preparations for defence . As I mentioned in a former letter , M . de Titoff objected strongly to the presence of the British fl _^ et in the Dardanelles . He said it was a violation ol he treaty , and that the renewal of friendly relations between tbe Porte and Russia was utterly impossible whilst Sir Wm . Parker remained in the Straits with bis squadron . The French and English ambassadors have , from the commencement of the present question , advised the Porte to adopt as conciliatory a tone as possible towards Russia , and to avoid all measures calculated to cause
unnecessary irritation . The Turkish ministers , therefore , showed a willingness to make any concessions , consistent with national dignity , __ which would facilitate the renewal of diplomatic relations between this country and the allied imperal powers . In this they met with the concurrence ol the representatives of England and France . As a preliminarv step , Sir Stratford Canning consented to the withdrawal of the- British fleet from the Dardanelles . The British ambassador wrote to that effect to Sir William Parker , and the admiral a few days since sailed from tbe Straits and anchored outside . Sir Stratford has visited the fleet at its present station , and kas bad a long conference with the enmmander-in-chief . Atter every concession
made to the Russian envoy , he raises new ob stacles , which prevent an amicable arrangement . M . de Titoff _' s object , indeed , seems at present to be , to keep up the irritation-caused by Prince _Rad-// mi ' s mission . He now boasts of having driven the British fleet from the Dardanelles , of having forced the English ambassador to consent to his dema n ds , whilst at the same time he treats the Turkish ' government with .. utter contempt . He refuses to re-establish diplomatic relations , and yet when it pleases him he has interviews with the grand vizier and . the minister of foreign affairs , and bas conferences with the representatives of powers in
friendly relation with Turkey , and all this with the ceremony and etiquette of an accredited ambassador in the full exercise of his functions . He made a very angry complaint the other day , beciiuse Kossuth and his fellow refugees had made a sort of triumphial entry into Shumla . The guard presented arms as the refugees entered the town , and the military bands played and _flaa ; s were flying as on days of a " high festival . This enthusiastic mark of sympathy from the garrison of Shumla , for Kossuth and his companions , has given great displeasure to the Russian ambassador , and , though he has not renewed diplomatic relations , yet he demands an explanation . The Turkish ministers do
tiot seem disposed to give any explanation , and here , therefore , is another and not very trifling cause for deepening the already existing misunderstanding . The Porte is justified in refusing the explanation which M . de Titoff demands , as they cannot recognise his official character in the present state of relations ; and the haughty tone in wbicb ths demand was made did not much incline them to adopt a flattering manner towards the Russian envoy . From the conduit of M . de Titoff , since tbe arrival of Fuad Effendi _' s despatches , containing an account of his interview with the Czar , it will be seen that there is good foundation for tbe opinion that the Emperor Nicholas ' bides bi 3
time . The ' Wanderer' of Vienna publishes a letter from Constantinople , dated the 21 st of November , from which we extract the . following : —' Russia now demands that Bern , and all Poles who have turned Mahoraedans , shall not only be sent away from the frontier , and- not admitted to active employment , but that they shall be arrested and treated as prisoners . The Porte , in reply to this demand , states in simple and decisive terms that the above persons , by their converiion to the Islam faith , were not only under the protection of the Turkish government , but . had become subjects
of the Porte , which alone had the right to give orders respecting them . This reply , w hi c h had bsen communicated to the English and French ambassadors , was sent to MM . Titoff and Sturmer , the Russian and Austrian ambassadors . M . de Titoff returned the document , with the following marginal note : — ' The word expulsion and not removal must be applied to the Polish refugees . Aii Pacha refused compliance , and intimated as much to the French aud English ambassadors ; At the same lime he forwarded M . de Titoff ' s marginal notes to Fuad Effendi , the Turkish envoy to St . _Petershurgh , with instructions to state that tbe Porte could not accede to tbem .

RUSSIA AND POLAND . _PoseNj Dec 2 . —We have received the following intelligence from the kingdom of Poland : —The export of grain , with the exceptions of wheat and peas , is prohibited from the kingdom of Poland after the 1 st December . There can be no question this measure is adopted for the purpose of furnishing supplies at a cheaper rate to the large Russian army now in the kingdom . In the empire itstlf ho regulation of the kind has yet been passed . In the second place , the city of Kelesch is to be fortified aud converted into a station ofthe first rank .
NORWAY . The winter has set in , not only early , but very sever ely . The harvest has not been good , especially the potato crops . The merchants and shipowner ' s are not much better off than the agriculturists , The blockade has injured the herring trade with the Russian harbours , and the crisis in France tbe timber trade . The early winter has now closed the navigation , and cut off all communication with
abroad . Our manufactures , which from the absence ofa capital and speculation , are very insignificant , bave however improved . Cotton spinning , weaving hy machinery , iron foundries , and machine manufactures , are slightly increased , and great advantage will accrue from the carrying out of the projected railway from Christiana to Miosen , whereby the best district oi Norway will be brought near the capital .

By the Mary Ann , Captain Darke , arrived off Portsmouth yesterday , we have received intelligence to the 19 th October frora the Cape of Good Hope , at which date the colony is represented as being In a state of great excitement . It is asserted that a reactionary feeling has taken place among the labouring classes , the coolies in particular , induced by there being no work for them , as business was at a complete stand , and every house and store closed . An _anti-convict
association meeting was to have been held on the 18 th outside the town-hall , but as the feeling of the labouring population was going against it , and as danger was apprehended , the Governor forbade the meeting . On the following day ( 19 th ) aa immense mob attacked , at Green Point , Cape Town the house of Mr . Pairburn ( the leader 0 f the anticonvict association ) broke into and completely gutted it , nearly killing Mr . Fairburn . A shot wa 8 1 nv „ T / _rl " .

Nothing could surpass the mournful solemnity of the ceremony throughout . The whole of tbe troops at Peahawur were assembled there , and formed tliree sides of a square , as follows ;—Right Face of Square—Bengal Horse Artillery ; Bengal and Bombay Foot Artillery * , 1 st Bengal Light Cavalry ; 31 st and 70 th Regiments N .

All mounted corps paraded on foot , and the troops were directed to march to the place without music , and in . returning home none to be played till tbe rear ofthe regiment was 200 yards from the scene of execution . The whole had not been-long formed up when the prisoner appeared—a man of pleasing and intelligent appearance , and attired in the usual . undress of the
rciment . His arms were fastened . behind him ; a man was on each side of him . On coming to tbe square , the procession moved slowly along thefront of the whole—the bandof the regiment playing theDead March in Saul—in the following order : —Provost-Marshal ; band of the regiment ; coffin , covered with black , and borne on the shoulders of four men ; half the escort ; the prisoner , supported by a man on either side of him ; and last , the other half of the escort : tbe whole presented a most- mournfully grand sight to the spectator . It was wonderful to see with what firmness he marched , and the fortitude of manner displayed by hira the whole time . Having marched all round , lie took up his station in front of
the gallows , while the . coffin was laid before him ; when the brigade-major proceeded to read his crime and the sentence of the court-martial , in ah audible tone—and afterwards the warrant for . his execution-When all was finished , he was conveyed behind where he ascended the p latf om b y means of a ladder ; the provost-marshal followed , who proceeded , according to bis instructions , and placed a white cap over his face . The prisoner having , with uplift eyes to heaven , breathed a prayer , was launched into eternity .
