France. The Fukthcoxing Elections.—The D...
FRANCE . The Fukthcoxing Elections . —The Democratic and _Socialist Committee for conducting the elections in t > . e department of the Seine has published the _following , _i s the declaiation demanded by it from the can-Mates on that side : — ' Every citizen , whose candidateship for the national _representation is presented to the Democratic and Socialist Committee of the elections of the department of the Seine , declares in the face of the people ; hy lhe simple fact ef becoming a candidate that he adheres , without restriction or reserve of any kind , tc the six following propositions : —1 . The _Bepublic is above the right of majorities . 2 . If the
constitution be violated , the re presentatives of the people must give the people the example of resistance . 3 . Nation , are mutually bound togetherlike men . The emp loyment of the _^ _c" _f _*™ c _* against the liberty of nations is a cnme-a violation of the constitution ; France owes « - »» " _««» _*; nationalities which combat tyranny ; she _: can now accord it immediately . , 4 . The Drat ca 7 Wis the first of _allrights ; It a the right to hve The aeverest of tyrannies is that of capital . The national representation can and ought to pursue the abolition education
of that tvranny . 5 . ln a free nation ought to " be gratuitous , common , equal , and obligatory for olL 6 . The restitntion of the milliard of the emigres is a measure just , useful , possible . The _candidate declares , besides , to subscribe without restriction or reserve of any kind , to tbe two follow _, ing emfaeements : —1 . He publicly , and in advance , andertakc-s to desist from any candidateship in the department of the Seine , in case he shall not be inscribed is the list of candidates proposed to the people by the committee . 2 . If the candidate obtain a double _diction to the National Assembly , he
consents l ' . 3 i bis right of option shall be exercised in his stead and place by the committee . ' The ' Times' correspondent , writing on Saturday , says ; -- ' Tne Socialists wouli not appear to be discouraged by the partial dispersion of their most noted leaders -, r . or have they desisted irom their attempts to seduc _? the army . A meeting of the delegates from ti . a garrison of Pari 3 is announced for this _evening it the Socialist Hall , in the Rue Martel , to decide " ucon the names of two non-commissioned
officers to he proposed as candidates for the representation of the department of the Seine in the _Legislativ- ' . Assembly . It is ssid that the Socialis s liave succeeded iu effecting a fusion with the troops . Thc terms agreed on are , it is reported , that the Socialists will support the return of two non-commissioned officers ; while the soldiers , on their side , have _agreed , to the number of 6 , 000 , to vote for the Socialist candidates . Some officers are said to have been arrested ill ' s morning on a charge of bavin' ; Liken an active part in these proceedings . *
Mon-iay ' s * _Timea' contained the following : — - A number of persons assembled at seven o ' clock in the evening of Saturday in the Rue Martel , and the _streeis adjacent , to witness the procession of the military _debates to the Socialist Hall to nominate two non-commissioned officers as candidates for the representation of Paris to the Legislative Assembly . About forty soldiers presented themselves , but ou baring been informed by some police agents in attendance that they ought not to attend such a meeting , they withdrew . The Socialists dispersed , expressing their disappointment , and assembled subsequently at the Porte St . Denis , where they declaimed in violent terms against the tyranny to which the troops are subjected . A few sergens de ville , however , dispersed them , and public tranquillity was not furthpr disturbed'
More _Persecution . —Doctor Bonnard was convicted before tbe Paris Court of Assize , on Friday , of having delivered a seditious speech at a Socialist Club , held at Monuuartre . He was sentenced to _imprisonment for a year , and to pay a fine of 500 fr . M . Vasbenter , the former responsible publisher of * Le Peuple , ' who has been in concealment since his sentence of fine and imprisonment , has been traced and taken into custody . Duchene , his successor , on ¦ whom a similar sentence was the other day pronounced , is still in _coaceahnent . M . Eugene Raspail , a representative of the people , was sentenced by default on Friday , by thc Court of Correctional Police , to two years' imprisonment and 1 . 000 francs fine , for striking his colleague , M . Point .
The Court of Cassation declared , on the same day , the law of the 16 ih August , 1790 , applicable to electoral _mtetings _, and consequently sanctioned the right of thc government to appoint ageuts to watch over their proceedings . The Democratic and Socialist journals have appointed a committee to raise subscriptions , to enable them to defend themselves against the persecution of the government . A -secret society , called the Friends of Equality , has been discovered in the Rue de la Bauque . Twenty-one of the members have been arrested ami committed to prison . A quantity of balls and cartridges were found in theirplace of meeting . Amongst the persons arrested are several of the insurgents ol June who had been transported and subsequently set at linerty .
The statement made by some of the journals of M . Brisbane , the American Socialist , having refused to obey the order given to him by the government to leave France , appears to have been unfounded . The Democraiiqus Pacifique' states that he has embarked . The same journal states that M- Golovine , a Russian , whose name has been frequently before the public , has received an order to quit Paris within twenty-four hours . M . Golovine , a Russian refugee , long resident in Paris , has been ordered to quit France by the government . He has been long resident in Paris , and was never interfered with by the government of Louis Philippe . AJ . Golovine is well known and esteemed in Paris , and his removal by the Republican
government excite the greatest surprise . It appears that a great number of other refugees , who have been allowed to remain in France under Louis Philippe , have received notice that they cannot he allowed any longer to pollute the territory of thc free and enlightened Republic . —horning Chronicle . An operative tailor , named Hailbey , who founded a journal called tbe - Sans Culottes , ' was tried before the Court of Assize of the Seine , on Monday , for having delivered a seditious speech at a club on tbe 14 th of December last . M . Hailbey , in his defence , denied that he was a Socialist ; his opinions , he said , were far more advanced . He was a Montagnard of the school of 1793 . He was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for eighteen months , and to pay a fine of 500 f .
An electoral meeting , held at the Socialist Hall , in the Rue Martel , was dispersed hy the police en Monday night . A battalion of troops of the line , in marching order and with fixed bayonets , was at band to enforce obedience in case of resistance . The - Peuple' and the ' Vraie Republique' were seized on Monday , at the Post-office , for articles on the forthcoming elections . Several arrests were made in Paris on Tuesday , in consequence of information received by the 3 o-• _vernment of the existence of a secret society , established for the seduction of the non-commissioned officers of the _s-arrison .
Afraid of the Army !—The 'National' announces that the 9 th Regiment of Light infantry _, and the 52 nd Regiment of the Line , were ordered to quit Paris on Sunday at few hours * notice in consequence of their well-known Republican principles . Thf . Infamous Intervention to Restore the Pope . —M . Frapolli , the envoy extraordinary of tbe woman Republic to the President of the Prench Republic , has presented a protest to the
government against the expedition to Civita Yeccbia . He declares that tbe government which he _represented was willing to accept the mediation of France between it and the Pope , and that its anxiety to do so was made known to the French government , in a note addressed to it by his predecessor , as well as verbally by himself , in an inter _, view which he had with the Minister of Foreign Affairs , on Taesday last . He states that the only answer which he got was , « that France could not
negotiate with what did not exist ; that Rome , as far as France was concerned , wa ) _s the Pope ; that Prance interposed _. in order to prevent tooviolenta reaction , and in order that the principle of secularisation might be applied as largely as possible in the _ad-mnistralioii of the State . ' After snch an answer , M . FrapoHi declares that , ' as the envoy of a government aud of a people which has thas been condemned to death , it only remains for bim to protest against the eventual violation , without any previous notice , of the territory of the Republic which it is his mission to represent . '

The Press .--- -The National Assembly commenced on Friday the discussion of the bill relative to the press , of which the Ministry had demanded the continuance in force until the 1 st of August next . The committee to which the bill had been referred acceded to the demand , but reduced by one-half tbe _coutionnement , or security in money , required from editors of journals , and suppressed it altogether for those published within the forty-five days preceding the elections to the National Assembly . On the first article ofthe bill Messrs . Ledru Rollin and Felix Pyat moved an amendment , to the effect of abolishing the security altogether after the 1 st of May . M . Leon _Faucher , Minister of the
Interior , opposed both the project of the committee and the amendment . The amendment was rejected by 423 to 226 . The President next read the first article of tbe bill , amended by tbe committee , which reduced the cautionnement by one half , when M . Leon Faucher rose aud declared that the government considered it was dangerous as the amendment moved by M . Ledru Rollin , and could not consequently concur in it . A division was then called for , which gave for the article 291 , against it 352 It was accordingly rejected , and the article of the Ministerial project , demanding that the provisions of the decree of the 9 th of August , 1848 , remain in force until the 1 st of August next , adopted hy a
considerable majority . The 2 nd article , added by the committee , and dispensing with a cautionnement every new journal published within tbe forty-five days preceding the elections , was next put to the vote , and rejected by 381 to 261 . The third article , also added by the committee , and permitting the circulation , distribution , and sale of all journals and publications relative to the elections without any municipal authorisation , was likewise combated by M . Leon Faucher . M . Dupont de _Bussac declared the measure the more indispensable as the Minister of the Interior bad lately issued a circular on the subject to the Prefects , containing directions de . structive of the liberty of the press . He would
merely cite the instructions given in consequence to the Mayors by the Prefect of Versailles , who classed among the dangerous publications of which tbey were to prevent the circulation , tws of the oldest journals of Paris , the ' Democratic Pacifique' and Reform © . ' M . Leon Faucher explained ; after which M . Chavoix rose , and denounced the danger of arming the municipal authorities with such an arbitrary power . He then asked the Minister of War if it was true that reactionary journals were distributed with his permission in the military
barracks . The Minister not thinking proper to reply , M . Charras rose and declared that several colonels of the garrison had informed bim that five journals were regularly forwarded to officers of their regiments for distribution among the soldiers . If such was the case , he demanded that the barracks ; be either closed or open to journals of all political parties * M . Leon Faucher replied that if any journals were distributed in the barracks , it was without the knowledge or consent of the Cabinet . Finally , the Assembly voted in favour of the government , and against the freedom of the Press .
Another ' Scene' in the Assembly . — On Saturday a very violent scene took place in the Assembly . —M . Goudchaux rose to exculpate himself from the charge , frequently brought against him out of doors , of . having counselled the Provisional Government to suspend the payments of the Treasury , and to declare a national bankruptcy . He declared that there was no truth in tbe report , but that it was true that he had heen advised to do so by an important personage , now a memher of the Assembly . M . _Ledrn-Rollin called upon M . Goudchaux to give the name , and said that he had also had a similar accusation brought against him hy a newspaper , of which tbe proprietor was the very
person who gave the advice . The person in question was a great banker in Paris , namely , M . Delamarre . M . Goudchaux then stated , that as it was no Cabinet secret , he had no hesitation in saying that the person who gave bim the advice was M . Achille Fould . —M . Fould , thus called on , mounted the tribune , and endeavoured to explain the sense of his conncils to M . Goudchaux . M . Ledru Rollin interrupted him to call upon M . Fould to say whether or not he had proposed a declaration of bankruptcy . M . Fould declared that he had not , whereupon M . Goudchaux rose and declared that
he had . This flat contradiction caused a lively sensation . M . Fould entered into a rambling statement ta show that M . Goudchaux ' s memory played him false . The latter gentleman quoted documents and called upon witnesses amongst his colleagues to prove that his contradiction was based upon the truth . The agitation in the Assembly had now reached a climax . M . Fould appeared confused , receiving the coup de grace from MM . Marrast and Cremieux , who both corroborated the statements of M . Goudchaux . M . Fould reiterated his assertions , and the matter then dropped for the present .
ITALY . horrors of the holt' inquisition unveiled . The correspondent of the * Daily News , ' writing from Rome , March 31 st , says : — I visited this morning the works going on in tbe subterranean vaults of the holy office , and was not a little horrified at what I saw with my own eyes , and held in my own hands . Though I have been familiar with everything in and about Rome for a quarter of a century , I confess I never had any curiosity to visit the Inquisition , taking it for granted that everything was carried on there fairly and honestly , as I was led to believe by people worthy in other respects of implicit trust . Besides , the place itself
it out of the beaten track of all strangers , and in a sort of cul de sac behind St . Peter ' s , where it naturally retired to perform its blushing operations , and ¦ do good by stealth . * I was struck with the outward appearance of civilisation and comfort displayed by the building , which owes its erection to Pius V ., author of the last creed ; but , on entering , the real character of the concern was no longer dissimulated . A range of strongly-barred prisons formed the ground-floor of a quadrangular court and these dark and damp receptacles I found were only the preliminary stage of probation , intended for newcomers as yet uninitiated into the Eleusinian mysteries of the establishment . Entering a passage
to the left , you arrived at a smaller courtyard , where a triple row of small barred dungeons rises from the soil upwards , somewhat after the outward look of a three-decker , ' accommodating' about sixty prisoners . These barred cages have been fully manned , for there is a supplementary row constructed atthe back of the quadrangle on the groundfloor , which faces a large garden . AU these cellular contrivances have strong iron rings let into the masonary , and in some there is a large stone firmly imbeded in the centre , with a similar massive ring . Numerous inscriptions , dated centuries back , are dimly legible on the admission of light , the general tenor being assertion of
innocence' Iddio ci liberi di lingua calumniatrice , '' Io domenico Gazzoli vissi qui anni 18 , ' « Calumnialores mendaces exterminabuntur . ' I read another somewhat longer , the drift of which is , ' The caprice or wickedness of man can't exclude me from thy church , O Christ , my only hope . ' The officer in charge led me down to where the men were digging in the vaults below ; they bad _chared a downward flight of steps , which was choked up with old rubbish , and had come to a series of dungeons under the vaults deeper still , and which immediately brought to my mind the prisons of the Doge under the bridge of Signs at Venice , only here that there was surpassing horror . I saw embedded in old masonary , mwymmetrically arranged , five
skeletons in various recesses , and the clearance had only just begun ; the period of their insertion in this spot must have been more than a century and a half . From another vault , full of skulls and scattered human remains , there was a shaft about four feet square ascending perpendicularly to the first floor of the building , and ending in a passage off the hall of the chancery , where a trap-door lay between tne tribunal and the way into a suite of rooms destined for one of the officials . Tbe -object of this shaft could admit of but one surmise . The ground of the vault was made up of decayed animal matter , a lump of which held imbedded in it a long silken lock of hair , as I found by personal examination as it was shovelled opfrom below . Why or wherefore , witualarge space oi vacant ground ly ing outside

structure , * this * charnel house should be so contrived under the dwelling , passes my ken . But that is not all . there are two large subterranean limekilns if I may so call them , shaped like a beehive in masonry , filled with large calcined bones , forming the substratum of two other chambers on the ground floor in the immediate vicinity of the very mysterious shaft ahove mentioned . I know ' not what interest you may attach to what looks like a chapter from Mrs . Radcliff , but had I not the evidence of my own senses I would . never have
dreamt of such appearances in a prison of the holy office ; being thoroughly sick of the nonsense that has for years been put forth on that topic by partisan pens . But here the thing will become serious , for to . morrow , the whole population of Rome is publicly invited by the authorities to come and see , with own eyes , one of the results of entrusting power to clerical hands . Libels on the clergy have been manifold during the last four months , and have done their work among the masses . Bat mere talk is nothing to the actual view of realities .
Segnius irritant amnios demusa per _aures Quam _quas sunt oculis subjecta fidelibus . The archives ( wanting the very recent ones only ) have been overhauled , and a selection will be forthwith published . The cases are of the most intense interest , reaching from Galileo ' s time down to modern days ; and here most disgraceful letters from the Sardinian and Neapolitan courtB , including a choice correspondence from the Duke of Modena , will be given verbatim , in extenso . Latterly the concern had become almost exclusively political , and only busied itself with * carbonari' and 'freemasons , ' nnder which terms every aspirant after a constitutional form of government was thought fair game , and hunted out secundem artem .
It is quite possible that the Croats of Radetsky may force back on the population of . these territories clerical rulers again ; but no friend of the Roman Catholic church , acquainted with the present sentiments of the Romans , can view such an event without deep alarm . The following interesting letter is also from the pen of the correspondent of the' Daily News . ' Rome , April 14 . —There is no symptom of despondency visible here . Strong in the common sense
of their cause the Romans see no reason to give up as lost the establishment of a secular government for the management of their temporal concerns , and there is not the slightest manifestation of a reaction in favour of clerical rule . Tuscany had no real grounds for revolution , and hence the facility with which the Grand Duke ' s authority has been restored . The case is altogether different here , and it will be tough work for whatever power undertakes to replace gownsmen and Monseigneurs in supreme predominance .
Should Antonelli , Larabruschini , or any of the busybodies who have muffled the well-meaning Pope and alienated his people from him , show in Rome , their lives would not be worth a week ' s purchase . This is a sad state of social feeling , hut it is the plain truth . As to Bernetti , who is one of the same clique , there has been lately published among the documents found in the archives of the inquisition a letter of his in the character of Secretary of State , dated , July 15 , 1828 , in which he tells the father inquisitor that from intelligence diplomatically obtained , certain individuals being suspected of liberalism , and in these investigations it being preferable to employ the holy office of the tribunal
rather than that of the police , the undersigned cardinal begs your reverence to occupy yourself therewith and to communicate to the cardinal the result of the researches which your reverenc _£ : , so well knows how to institute , that we may proceed in concert to the adoption of a timely remedy . Such was the Star chamber that carried on its operations during the whole reign of Gregory . By the way , among the inscriptions on the dungeon-walls , of which a large collection has heen made , there oeeur 3 but one in the English language , but it is pithy
enough , and sufficient to excite curiosity as to the unfortunate John Bull , who got into the clutches of this holy establishment some hundred years ago . * ls this the Christian faith ? 'was all his commentary . At Gaeta all is at sixes and sevens . The Pope has quarrelled with his cousin , Cardinal Gabriel Ferret ti , and taken from him the post of Secretary of Memorials , which he has given to Cardinal Altieri , who is very unwell . Antonelli lets no one to see the Pope , and , to all appearance , keeps him under lock and kev .
It is a sad farce to talk of giving the Pope a throne and sceptre , for the purpose of securing the free and independent action of bis spiritual authority , when , by the very fact , he is made a mere puppet of Austria . His true independence would he found in the heart of a republic , guaranteed by European acknowledgment . FLORENCE . —We have still very meagre accounts of the counter-revolution noticed in our last . The 'Piedmontese Gazette'of the 16 th inst ., pub . lishes the following , dated Florence , the 13 th : —
' The members of the municipality , preceded by a military band , and followed by the National Guard and an immense crowd , proceeded yesterday , with the five citizens they had appointed to assist them , to the Old Palace , of which they took possession , as also of all the public administrations and proclaimed amidst the deafening acclamations of the multitude assembled on the square of the Grand Duke , the restoration of Constitutional Monarchy , and the immediate recall of the Sovereign . The municipality labours to re-establish order on solid bases . All the individuals who had been confined in the Volteria or
in the galleys , and placed by Guerazzi in the Municipal or Public Safety Guard , have been turned out of that corps . It is said that Marraocchi has heen arrested with Guerazzi , and that-Mardini has escaped , dressed as a Roman National Guard . The population of the country , round Lucca , has risen in favour of the Grand Duke . ' Another letter from Florence of the same date states : — ' The brave National Guard , supported by a great number of the country inhabitants , summoned to arms by the tocsin , was sufficiently strong
to effect a reaction in favour of order and the government of the Grand Duke . The provocation of the Livornese produced the spark , which kindled the fire . Guerazzi is now a prisoner in the fortress of Belvedere . The soldiers who guard him were obliged to swear that they would die rather than allow him to escape . The Constituent Assembly , which had declared itself permanent , is dissolved . It attempted a moment to resist the decree issued against it by the municipality , but the majority , dreading the popular fury , having withdrawn , the minority was compelled to yield . '
The new Tuscan Ministry was composed as follows : — ' M . M . Tometi , Minister for Foreign Affairs : Martini , Minister of Finances ; Tabarrini , of Public Instruction ; Allegietti , of Interior ; Duchiquez , of Justice ; and Bell'nomini _, of War . The accounts which we have received from Leghorn describe the agitation there as excessive . Active preparations were in the course of being made by the Republican party , to resist , if possible , the reinstatement of the government of the Grand Duke . The citizens , in fact , are in a state of complete insurrection . Barricades had been erected in several of the streets , and it is feared that it will require a formal siege to reduce Leghorn , as was recently the case with Genoa .
Dy the Marseilles journals of the 20 th , we have advices from Leghorn to the 15 tb . The manifestation at Florence , of the 14 th , when the Livornese volunteers were driven from that city , has excited a strong feeling at Leghorn , and a determination was expressed to avenge the affront . On the 15 th the gates of the city were shut , and the municipality had ordered all the citizens to arm themselves for defence against the Florentines . MILAN .--More Murder . —The ¦ Milan Gazette ' of the 16 th inst ., states that Andre Brenta , a married man and father of nine children ; Villore de Saltrio , an unmarried man ; and Andre Adresti , an unmarried man—all natives of the province of Como , accused of having taken part in the insurrection of the . Val d'Intelvi , have been tried by court-martial , sentenced to death , and shot at _Cnmn .
THE WAR IN SICILY . A private letter from Palermo of the 9 th says : The 3 , 000 regular troops that were at Palermo have been directed on several points without the city , the city itself being confided to the National Guard . It is not supposed that Filangieri can be before Palermo until the 20 th or 25 th of April . Independently of the 15 , 000 men he has under his orders , there is a reserve of 7 , 000 men at Reggio , and a reinforcement of 12 , 000 would be sent to Sicily in case of need . After the surrender of Catania , Mieroslawski retired to the mountains , and no news has since been received of him .
« The « _Saggiatore' of Turin of the 16 th states that Catania , which had been taken by the Neapolitans , has been retaken by the Sicilians . It does not however , give any date of this intelligence ' ? Private letters of the 10 th from Palermo , state that on the : 7 th uut the Commander _Chronica and General Mieroslawski , bating assembled some forces ,

marched on Catania , and recovered it from the Neap _olitans , of whom 7 , 000 are said to have been cut t 0 \ ewsfrom Palermo , of the 12 th instant , have arrived throug h Marseilles , confirming the retaking of Catania by the Sicilians , under _Mieraslowsky , bul on the following day the Neapolitan troopB again attacked it , and after a sanguinary struggle , again succeeded in taking possession of it . The Sicilian troops , amongst whom were a great many French , had suffered severely , and retired towards Palermo completely disorganised .
GERMANY . PRUSSIA .-Berlin , April 21 st . —The Second Chamber has accepted , by a majority of 175 against 159 , the Frankfort Constitution , and repudiates all modes of altering it except that which is laid down in one of its own articles . The ministers have therefore suffered a complete defeat upon the most vital qUe 8 l ° ' THE WAR IN HUNGARY . The details of the late battle at _Waitzen , as given by tbe German papers , are _te the effect that Prince Windischgratz , at the head of his best regiments , oppo sed the progress of the Hungarians in the direction of Comorn , and that he was backed by the corps of Gotz and Joblonowski . A fierce
engagement ensued , in which the superior tactics of the Magyars proved irresistible . General Gotz and many of his officers fell while fighting in the streets of the city of Waitzen . The imperial troops were driven back and partly routed . The siege of Comorn has been stopped in consequence , and part of the imperial army besieging that fortress has marched to Waitzen to the rescue of General Raroberg , who still attempts to stop the progress of the Magyars from Waitzen to Comorn . The garrison of that fortress has meanwhile made a sally upon tbe remaining Austrians , and carried off part of their heavy artillery . The country surrounding Comorn is still in the hands of the Magyars , and Comorn is but twenty leagues distant from Vienna .
The news of the death of the Austrian General Gotz is confirmed . He was hit by a bullet , in the streets of Waitzen , and died at the age of almost seventy years . According to later accounts Waitzen has been reoccupied by the Austrians . It is now evident that the Russians , since their late expulsion from Transylvania , have again endeavoured to enter that province hy the defiles of Rothenthurm . They were again repulsed by the Hungarians , who drove them sixteen miles into the interior of the principality . Further Success of the Hungarians . —The
news from Hungary continues ( says the ' Cologne Gazette' ) to be unfavourable to the Austrian army . The remains of the corps formerly under the orders of General Gotz , and which , with another detachment , both commanded by Jellachich , defended Gran , was attacked by the Hungarian chief Repassy , who had crossed the Danube below Pesth . The Hungarians had , after making a large portion of the staff of the Ban prisoners , occupier ! Gran . Dembinski had passed the Danube at the head of an army numbeiing it is said 50 , 000 , and bad taken up a position before Buda , on the right bank of the
river . Windischgratz , intrenched in the latter town , awaited the reinforcements which were arriving from all parts . Meantime , protected by Dembinski , the Hungarian corps under the orders of Gorgey had marched upon Comern , and obliged the besieging army to retreat before superior numbers . . Gorgey then pressed , on , occupied Raab and Wieselburg , and marched upon Presburg , to prevent the arrival of the reinforcements expected by Windischgratz . In the Banat , Genersl Bem had given eight days to the fortresses of Temeswar and Arad , in which to make their submission .
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . ENTRY OF THE _SCHLKSWIG-HOLSTEII * TROOPS INTO JUTLASD . A letter from Schleswig , dated the 21 st instant , says : —• The first detatchraent of Schleswig-Holstein troops crossed the frontier of Jutland yesterday . Tomorrow I will be able to send you the particulars of this movement , so important for our cause , and perhaps for the peace of Europe . ' PACIFIC INTERFERENCE OF RUSSIA IN THE DANISH SCHLESWIG WAR .
Intelligence was received on Monday at the _Prussian embassy that the Emperor of Russia has sent a severe note to the King of Denmark blaming the Danes for recommencing the war , and strongly advising his royal brother to arrange the dispute and grant a constitution to Schleswig .
SPAIN . Letters from Genoa ( Catalonia ) state that the Cabecillas Planadamunt and Romero had been shot on the morning of the 11 th , at eight o ' clock . The intercessions of the wife of Romero to save his life were fruitless .
UNITED STATES AND CANADA , ( From the ' Daily News . ' ) New York , April 4 . —In my last I wrote you in relation to the probable action of our government in case of any political disturbances in Canada , and that _Guneral Taylor would take care to prevent any breach of our friendly relations with England by acts of sympathy towards those who were found in arms against her . I have reason to know that the
utmost faith will be kept on our part in this matter , and probably the moment is not far off when this good faith will be appealed to . It is said that secret associations are now on foot in this country , not to help the French but the English , and that their movements are upon a large scale . We hear that very extensive arrangements are going on at Boston to this end . And that arms and money are already on their way to Canada . In this state of things we are naturally on the tiptoe of expectation .
We have late news from California by way of Mazatlan , our advices being to the 27 th of February . General Lane , the new governor , had arrived out in theSouthampton . The severity of the weather had prevented the working of the mines , but a crowd of people were _getting ready to begin operations early in the spring . A new city called Breccia bad been founded on the Sacramento ; thirty mile 3 from San Francisco , and a large number of houses was to be erected there as soon as possible . The Americans held a meeting on the 6 th January last to organise a provisional government , in default of any being provided for them by the last congress , and while they expressed their confidence , as ' citizens of a great
and glorious republic , in obtaining a proper territorial government at a future day , they resolved to govern themselves in their own way in the meantime . It was agreed that the several districts should hold elections for delegates to a convention , at which a political organisation should take place . A resolu tion was also passed that slavery should be opposed in every shape and form in the territory . We hear to-day of the breaking up of an overland party , with which Aubabon , a son of the celebrated naturalist was connected , while passing up the Rio Grande . The cholera destroyed a huge number of the party , and they were then plundered of their gold , amounting to about 14 , 000 dols . The survivors returned to New Orleans quite dispirited .
CANADA . On the 3 rd instant , the Governor had not yet si unified his assent to the Indemnity Bill . The Canadian press continues to hold the Ian . guage of excitement which we lately illustrated . The' Toronto Patriot' says , that if the Governor reserve his assent , and send the bill to England , ' the Ministry must resign ; ' but ' if he should sanction it . and it become the law of the land , what tben ?
Why , to hazard a prophetic reply on so fearful a question , I should say , a Convention at Kingston . ' The ¦ Montreal Courier' backs up the spirit displayed at a monster meeting held there ' never to submit to pay rebels ; ' exclaiming— ' Let the Parliament pass the bill , let the Governor sanction it if he pleases ; but while there is axe and rifle on the frontier , and Saxon hands to wield them , these losses will not be paid . '
The journals of the United States comment on these events , and on the tone of the Canadian press ; foreseeing 'troubles' and a speedy raising of the Republican flag . The' Boston Herald' professes to have received disclosures concerning a contemplated revolution in and invasion of the Canadas by Irish patriots , which has been for some time past agitated , as well in the United States as in the nei gh * bouring provinces of the British kingdom . It says that many of tbe officers of tbe volunteers , who served in the United States army in Mexico , are
disciplining and arming a large body of men for this purpose . They are employed by a committee of a Canada Association . ' A large portion of the funds collected during the Repeal agitations in this country , which , owing to the failure of the Irish in their contemplated insurrection , was never sent to Ire . land , is now in the hands of the committee , and together with contributions which are frequently made by those who first projected the movement and those who have since joined it , constitute the means employed in _carrying out this p lan 0 operations .
