AU&TRU . AND HUNGARY . A letter from Semlin of the 22 nd ult ., states that Gen . Haynau had sumnuraed the garrison of Peter , wardelo , consisting of three battalions of foot and two Squadrons of cavalry , to capitulate , with dire me-JUUices in case of resistance . 2 , 000 captive Honveds in the most dejected state of destitution and misery , had passed upsn their way from Titel towards Italy . According to private letters from Arad , the
headquarters of Baron Haynau were transported thither on toe 22 nd . He is expected shortly in Pesth . The garrison of Peterwardein h disposed to brave aseige : the ue . its of Georgey ' s capitulation produced no desire' there to follow his example . Four Austrian employes in the fortress were turned out . In other respects the fortress was quiet . Prince Lichtenstein is to lie the intercessor with the emperor for cleaency towards the Hungarian army , and is shortly expected .
0 ? the Stuhlweissenburg landsturra , vrho were iakoi with arms in their hands , six were shot at Pestis , by sentence of court-martial . Comoro has not yet surrendered . Haynau ' s headquarters , on the 22 nd , were at Arad , on his return to Pesth . In a few days march the troops would he in that city . News from Debreczin sate that Paskiewitch was also returning to Warsaw . Peterwardcin was negotiating for surrender , having sent Major Tothand a captain for that purpose to Hayaau s head-quarters . The Austrian general himseli Las published an amnesty for all the Hungarian
army , ui to a sergeant , inclusive ; the officers retain their rank and duties ad interim , and the private ; , receive their usual pay till other regulations shall liave been mad ? . The greater part of the Honveds have been dismissed to their homes . Prince Lichtenstein has been sent by the Austrian army to the Emperor at Schonbrunn , for obtaining from his Majfstr a general amnesty for the officers . DetnijinsU is said to have reached Constantinople in safeiv , inhere his family was residing . On the other Band Pad Nyary and Csanyi had fallen into the hanrii of the Austrian * , and Szemere likewise , with two other ex-ministers .
A kitsrof the 23 rd , . from Seralin , stateBthat Koivrh and Bern had arrived in New Orsowa , and put themselves under the protection of the Pasha ; on the other baud , the' National' of Berlin positively declares that Kossuth was still at Orsowa , where 100 . 000 (!) Magyars were said to be concentrated . Vxln-xa . —On the 27 th uit the emperor was present at a Te Deum in honour of the victories in Hungary ; he tuen reviewed on horseback , surrounded with a bril !' - 'U staff , the troops of the garrison . A ' . qcst 28 . —On the emperor ' s birthday , Baron Haynau granted a general amnesty to the Hungarian soldiers , who are to be inserted in the ranks of the
Austiian army . All decision with regard to the disposal of the officers who had deserted from the Impetial army , and generally the principle personages , civil and military of the Hungarian revolution , lie reserved for a future occasion .
G ; irgey is at Temesvar , and walks at large in the fortress . Kossuth , with four other chiefs of the revolution , is now said to be at VTiddin , under strict Supervision of the Pasha . According to official intelligence from the headquarters of General Haynau , the van guard of the column under Count Nuperg , which advanced towards Birkk overtook the baggage train of the corps of Vees-iv at Hatalis , and , after some firing , captured It . . More than two thousand waggons , many of which ware laden with munition , and 1 , 000 prisoners among whom is Colonel Cassonyi and a squadron of Karcly hussars , fell into the hands of the Austrian troops . The third corps took on the 18 th 300 hus-Bars , deserters .
Comorx . —Up to this date ( the 28 th ult . ) the fortress or Comoro had not capitulated . The truce entered into with Klapka expires on the 4 th September , fcefore which in all probability the Imperial tronps will have taken possession . Vienna , August 29 . —News from Jassy states that ihe Polish legion of 800 men had laid down arms at the frontier . Letters of the 28 th from Pesth announce the occupation of Orsowa b y the Austrian trcop 3 . Kossuth , Bern , and Dembinski were still on the left bank on the 24 th .
Loiters from Bucharest of the 17 th ultimo state that Perczel had arrived in Orsowa , and seut two officers to the Pasha in the fortress of Adakaleor Turkish Orsowa , soliciting refuge for himself , his men , and officers . The Pasha agreed , provided all laid down arras , which was done ; whereupon tbe Magyars < rcere ferried over into the fortress . The Russian consul vapoured tremendously about this . The following is , according to the' Warsaw Courier ' the list of the Hungarian generals , who submitted on the 13 th of August by means of capitulation- . —The Coinmswder-in-Chief , General Arthur Georgey ; the
General of Division , Ernst Kisch , Goveuorof Hungary ; the Major-Generals , Aulich ( uncommissioned ;) Alexander Nagy , Corps Commandant ; Baron Poeltenfierg , the same ; Count KarlLeiningeir , the same ; Knhsiisch , of the reserve ; Schweydel ( uncommissioned 0 Laner , Inspector of Arms . The following 3 nesni > ers of the former Hungarian government and of Hie diet joined the troops which capitulated ludwig Tschanyi , minister ; Franz Duschek , minister ; Siegmund B . Perenyi , supreme judge ; Karl Sass , secretary of state ; John Jessenak , vice-sheriff , and a number of others .
The Butcher Hatnao . —Haynau ' s amnesty for the privates and non-commissioned officers , is more an id of policy than of mercy . He has shown no magnanimity or forbearance to the leading officers , Jjut g ' . vea full loose to the instinct of the butcher . The cause of liberty and of a nation ' s independence has succumbed to brnte violence and overwhelming odds ; henceforth we shall only haveto repon submissions and capitulations , the burning of Kosiuth ' s note 3 , condemnations by Austrian drumhead court martial and executions by hanging or sbeoiisg . Even the memory of the martyrs to their country ' s independence will live alone in the iieeris of their surviving countrymen . Six women
1 &V . J been condemned to several week ' s imprisonment for trying to get rid of some Kossuth notes , which the whole nation had equally been guilty of , a paor private tutor to two months prison for the sar . se benions offence . A notary has been shot for invi ; i :: g the militia to rise . But this is not all ; Bare * Auffenburg has been hanged at Arad and Ceu ,: t Leiningen shot ; sixteen Hungarian nobles In the same place , seeing no chance of mercy , or feeling despair , are said to have committed suicide ; Cescr-tl Aulich 18 reported to be of the number . Poor Szemere , the Hungarian Minister of the Interior has gone mad . Georgey is still with Paskievrite ' .
• Lloyd ' gi 7 es news of the 27 th ult . fromRaab , according to which Kossuth ' s three children , with their governess , were captured ; as likewise the Baroness Sptenyi , with her three children , and Jia < Jame Guyon . "We wonder whether they too are all to he shot ; for the thing is not new , and did not Russia set the example , by shooting women before regiments , and flogging them with the knout ? As for the poor Jews , it would seem that Haynau does not consider them as men at all , far less as cowing under the terms of his own proclamation ano amnesty to the inhabitants of ' this unfortunate laud , ' as he is pleased to designate it , after having laid it waste with the disposition and savage cruelty of an Attila . " Ha has imposed on the Jews in the Banat , for their horrid crime of sympathising
viili the Hungarian cause ; which he translates into bad feslings and supporting of the rebel • , the cantribntion of 100 , 000 knapsacks , 10 00 . 0 cloaks for Ihe foot soldiers , 10 , 000 pair of Hungarian shoes , and . 5 , 000 pair of half boots . The articles must be delivered within four months . For every day ' s grica ( a la Hayiutu ) after this period a penalty of 1 , 000 Austrian florins i 3 held over their doomed heals . The Jews in Arad have not come off scotfree . Htysau seems to be disappointed of bis prey for once ; since the Jews have turned Christians in a body the whole population has declared itself iu-« -AveDt , and proved it too , b y demonstrating that « hat money they had was in Kossuth note ? , which Haynau would fain seize , no doubt , had he not by his own previous measures rendered them of no vake to himself as well as to other * .
The correspondent to the ' Independence Beige ' of Sept . the 2 nd , writes from Vienna , and says there was a report there on the 29 th ultimo , to the effect that Generals Aulich and Vetter had been made prisoners by the Austrians , and had been shot immediately ; others say that both had shot themselves . . - - ., . .,.. Details have at last reached us respecting an insurrection of the Austrian prisoners of war in Comoro , while the greater part of the garrison was aaking its victorious sall y « far as Raab . A white flag had teen seen to wave for a short time from the feuilements by persons ata great distance even , but thi signal was not understood . It seems that the A-isman prisoners , suddenly seized with the desire of recovering their liberty , attacked the sentries , and tb jugh the small number of troops left behind made

use of their weapons in this deadly strife , they were nearly all overpowered and disarmed by men struggling with all the energies of despair . TheAustriaa prisoners triumphed , elected a commander on the spot , took possession of as many important posts as they could , and hung out a white flag , in the hope that it would be understood by the Austrian besiegers . Before their measures however , were complete , Klapka , informed of the danger by some Honveds , sent back a division of hussars with cannon , and they fortunately came in time to pass over the bridge , that was still uninjured . After a bloody fight , the Austrians were overpowered in their turn , the fortress re-taken , and the white flag hauled down .
The ' National Gazette' gives an account of the tragedy at Temesvar , as sent to it by a Honyed , and by which it seems that treachery was at work previous to the combat , and that the plans of the commander had been revealed to Haynau . Frankfort , 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 Caunt 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 as the insurgent Hungarians should have all laid down their arms and
surrendered the fortresses into the hands of the Austrians . As for Moldavia and Wallachia , Count N . says that the greater part of the Russian troops would be also withdrawn frosa 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 Radetskito those Imperial officers who had taken up arms against their liege sovereign to quit Venice has saved those who are in alike predicament in Hungary , as justice a » d prudence will not allow Haynau . to act differently . The fate of the prisoners at present in tbe hands of General
Haynau must alread y have been decided on , as the Emperor ' s aide-de-camp in chief , Count Grunne ,. who went to head-quarters some days ago , * as doubtlessly the bearer of the monarch ' s will to the Commander-in-Chief . The three fortresses , Mungacz , Comoro , and Peterwardein , which it will be seen form a complete triangle , have not yet surrendered , butresistance is in vain , and the garris 9 ns must yield or starve . Klapka , as I have already informed you , is inclined to surrender un conditionally , but it is reported that 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 onl y extends to the 4 th of September .
The general correspondence of Vienna , dated August 30 th , mentions two more executions at Pesth . A Protestant pastor and a printer were shot there because arms had been found in their possession . _ Thenegotiation for the surrender of Comoro have hitherto led to no result . A part of the garrison refuses obstinately to entertain them , while , on the other hand , the majority have quitted the fortress and laid down their arms at Gran . If a regular siege were undertaken , communications b y the Danube would be cut off , and commerce would suffer considerably .
Kossuth , Bern , and Dembinski are announced from other quarters to have gone to Constantinople , via Semlin ; that the authorities wished to put them in tbe latter place under quarantine , but that the Pasha came himself to the rescue , procured them conveyances , and allowed them to continue their journey . Kiss , the commander of Peterwardein , told the Russian Lieut-General Berg 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 in sll the papers to-day . It is dated Arad , August 11 : —
• Dear Couat , —rhe bearer of this letter , Colonel Count Kilmany , is commissioned by me to acquaint you with my wishes verball y . The forebodings 1 uttered to you June 23 rd , at Szegdin have come to pass . The cocquest of Buda by Georgey was the last beam of the setting sun of the Republic , for soon after Dembinski was beaten in the north , Perczel in the south , Georgey got fatally entangled at Comoro , and Bern was obli ged to yield to the superior force of Luders . The faint hopes I cherished of giving a favourable turn to our cause by immense efforts were totally shipwrecked on the rock of Georgey ' s vile ingratitude ; and the sudden revela . tion and execution of his desi gns , long feared aad seen through by me , was treason to the country .
and gave the death-blow to me and the Republic . Our misfortunes has cost us 200 , 000 cannon balls (?); and I see the grave of so many glorious victories in a fi ght that is now become dangerous . Our cause is completely lost . The prodigious efforts made of late have enfeebled my niiud , 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 ef high e 6 teem and consideration , &c . ( Signed ) 'Louis Kossuth . '
The news from Vienna is to August 31 . The accounts from Comoin are very conflicting . According to the' Presse' and ' Wanderer , ' the negotiations with Klapka have as yet totall y failed . Out of the garrison of 20 , 000 , 14 , 000 had , during the fortnig ht ' s armistice concluded upon the arrival of the news of Georgey ' s surrender , been shipped to Gran , where they laid down their arms . The remaining 6 , 000 were determined on an obstinate defence . Klapka had given every one perfect liberty to retire from the garrison if he pleased , but not a single Honved had availed himself of this permission . The printing press of the fortress was in full activity and a newspaper entitled the Komaromi-lap' ap ' peared daily .
The condemnations in Hungary continue . Three more persons have been shot in 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 Jowich , who surrendered the fortress to the Hungarians , and was their prisoner , has been brought now , as an Austrian prisoner , in chains to Vienna , and many other prisoners of note are to be sent after him . To the poor wretches condemned in Pesth for various offences , a new victim , for a novel offence , has now been added ; it is a journeyman for having dared to sing in a public-house a song in Hungarian , being one sung by rebels / and he has been sentenced to three months ' hard labour in irons . The little fortress Devain
. Transylvania , has been blown up by the 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 blackftned corpses that had been hurled down the 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 born slaves of Russia . The dislike of Austria towards Russia was increasing hourly . The Austrians , amongst other cames of dislike , are indignant that Georgey ' s corps should have been so imperfectly disarmed , that not only war materials should have been dragged away and aecreted , but that even whole ranks should have teen 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 officer returning from his captivity , met whole trams 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 command , and even goes so far as to affirm that Rubsiau officers were buying up and collecting these notes . Such an act on the part of the Russians in Hungary was naturall y enough regarded by the Aus . tnans in a very grave point of view .
According to a Russian courier , who arrived on the 21 st ult ., at Czeraovitz ( Bukowina . ) General brosenhjelm had taken Klausenburg without opposition , the last city still occupied by the insurgents in Transjlvania . 6 ¦ ; . A letter frotnCzemovitz of the 25 th ult ., gays that Bern has been arrested there and was l ying severely wounded in the military hospital of Bucharest . Kossuth ' s letter dated Arad , August 11 , addressed to Count Casimir Eiterhazy , has been protested against by that nobleman . The name of Esterhazy had been substituted for that of some other peison According to the Wanderer / the greater part of

has been suspended , that the city may receive abundant supplies . Letters from Venice of the 28 th ult . announce that the Amtrians were on that' day in complete possession of the city , and that President Manin , General Pepe , and forty persons most compromised in the revolution , had embarked in the French war steamer Pluton for Corfu . General Garzkewski had been appointed Civil and Military Governor , and M . Mazzani 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 ' Univera' publishes a letter from NapleB , 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 Gaetais 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 8 th , the day of the nativity , at the f ete di Maria di Pie di Grotta , so dear to the Neapolitans , and at the grand review which the king usually has on that day It is almost certain that the Pope will hold a consistory during his stay at Naples . The visit of Pius IX . to Naples is a first step towards his return to Rome , for his holiness has promised not to quit the kingdom without visiting the capital . No one , however , can yet say when the head of the church will return to the eternal city .
MILAN . — -In the long list of names of persons arrested for the late riots , on that occasion , two young actresses figure , who had been implicated in some degree in the brawl , and wbo , we may be sure , were led on , by men who should have known bstter , to commit themselves . However , they are , condemned to receive forty stripes a piece from the hands of Radetski ' s soldiers ! The instrument used for flogging women is a cane or rod , rather thinner than that applied to the tough hide of an offending Croat , but not a whit the less efficacious on that account ; and the difference in thickness is fully out weighted by the absence of any covering , the maie . victim' being always allowed his shirt . Accounts from Turin , received this morning , state that the Austrians vacated Novara on the
26 th ult . This was the last of the Piedmontese towns occupied by the Austrians . On that evening the whole of the Piedmontese towns were garrisoned by the troops of the country . SARDINIA . —In the sitting of the Piedmontese Chamber on the 30 th ult ., a provisional credit of 100 , 000 livres was voted for assistance to refugees from all parts of Italy . LOMBARDY . —The 'Milan Gazette' of the 30 th ult . contains the following : — ' The Military Governor of Verona has adopted very severe measures in order to repress the excesses committed by bands of malefactors in the provinces of the Lombardo-Tenetian kingdom . The districts
which shall receive them , supply them with provisions , or apprise them of the arrival of tbe armed force , are to heliabel to a fine , the amount of which will vary according to circumstances . The inhabitants who shall give them an asylum are to be regarded as 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 ( JOOf . is offered for every deserter arrested and delivered to the proper authorities . Passports are to be rigorously examined , and officials neglecting their duties in matters relating to this proclamation are to be dismissed , and otherwise punished if neceBsarv . '
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . Disturbances at Schleswig . —A letter from Fleusburg 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 obli ged to be bad to arras , and several soldiers were wounded . A Prussian patrol cleared the streets at the point of the
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 them to disperse , they fired , a boy was killed , and some others severely wounded . '
The inhabitants have formed a body of security ; but the excesses of the Danes continues , up to this evening , to a very great extent . The Danish troops arrived here towards evening ; they have occupied guard , but they have not inter * fered , 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 the arrival of about 3 , 000 Sweeds in Flensburg , and 900 men of the same force inAlsen , 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 . of Prussiahave 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-pounders . A commission has already been appointed to re-organise the civic guard of this city .
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 sengers . With the exception of the excitement consequent upon the continued organisation of the expedition to Cuba , the political accounts from the United States are very uninteresting . President Taylor had completely recovered from the severe attack of illness under which he laboured on tbe sailing of the last steamer , and was proceeding on his northern tour . General Avezaima had arrived at New York . . Notwithstanding the President ' s proclamation against the secret expedition to Cuba , the project was still being activel y carried out .-We extract the
following from the 'New York Express ' : — « Meetings are nightly held in this city , some secretly , some more publicly , and organisations of a very extensive character are forming for some secret expedition , of which no one engaged but the leaders know anything . Several bodies of men , numbering over 100 each , have organised themselves into regular military divisions , and haye entered with the coalition , which is now assuming a shape too formidable to be overlooked . On Monday evening a large number of these men met at La . Fayette Hall , when the meeting was called to order by Colonel Cart a large number enrolled their names on the promise of seven dollars a month , and 1 , 000 dollars at the end of the year . Next Saturday is the appointed time for sailing , and , while the real destination of the expedition is unknown , it is given out at a cold hunt to California . * . * *
The men engaged in this movement are young men , who are out of employment , but are good looking , stout , healthy persons , ripe for any exciting adventure ; indeed , many , of them are . volunteers who have been in Mexico , and who showed as great a relish for this expedition as they did for that We therefore wish to caution our citizens that they look on both sides of the picture before they eneaee in this enterprise . ' 6 b - 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
invasion . . The deaths by cholera in New York are on the ' Q 6 Cr € ( LfiG % ¦ ¦ * " , '*¦ ¦ - Letters from theVity . Qf Greneda , late Nicaragua , dated the 8 th of July , , had reached New York .

the Russian army has received orders to return to Galicia . FRANCE . Paris , Saturday . —Grqman Refugbbs . —The Reforme' says : — We learn from Berne that the French government continues to refuse 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 ia not the point threatened , but the Tessin . There , as will be seen from the intelli gence 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 .

declared themselves ready for immediate surrender , but wished to stipulate that their paper money , which circulated to the amount of sixty millions of zwanzigers , should be accepted and continue at seventy-five . The Austrian general , who declined also this proposal , nevertheless notified the same o the minister Bruck and the field-marshal , who immediately set out for Mcstre , and brought the transaction to a termination . It is reported that the partapatriotica of the Venetians is provisionall y rejected , but the possibility of the conversion is hoped for . >

California . —Ships were arriving at San Francisco very rapidly during the month of June , loaded with merchandize and passengers . It was reported that there were more than eighty sail in port on the 1 st of July , and they were coming in at the rate of six or eight per day . Many kinds of goods were as cheap in San Francisco as in New York , and much distress would , no doubt , occur to adventurers , who must realize in an over-stocked market . The want of warehouses adds greatly to the embarrassment of the times , as the goods must , for the most part , be kept on shipboard . Gold was beginning to come in freely from the mines as the season advanced , and the general tendency of the population was for the gold region .

RIOTS IN CANADA . Canada has been the scene of renewed disturb , ances . 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 durina : the day , without opposition , except in one or two cases , but in the evening a large mob assembled and proceeded to the house of M . Lafontaine , the Attorney General , which 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 mob . Only one shot took fatal effect , killing a young man named Mason . One or two barricades were thrown up in the Btreets , but they were speedily demolished by the troops , who were in considerable force . They 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 ICth . The dail y telegraphic reports furnish the most complete account of the disturbances : —
' Montreal , August 15 . —There has been considerable excitement in the city since last communication , and five persons have been arrested for arson . Their 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 tbe arrest of several of the British party in the earl y 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 man died at an early hour this morning . It is expected that serious disturbances will ensue in consequence . The military were called out , and paraded the streets 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 ' 3 house on the previous night , have adjourned . ' About midni ght , Denegan ' s elegant hotel took fire , and is now in ruins . In the endeavour to extinguish the flames , one of the city firemen was killed . The inmates effected their escape , with the loss of some property . The value of the hotel , and other property destroyed , is estimated at £ 30 , 000 , on which there was an insurance of £ 14 , 000 , £ 2 , 000 of which is in the iEtna . The fire is supposed to have originated accidentally *
'August 20 . —The coroner ' s investigation relative to the death ot 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 confusion ensued ; tbesoldier 3 on guard ran about with fixed bayonets ; and M . Lafontaine was eventually escorted ' to the government-house in the centre of a square of troops . The fire is alleged to have been the work of an incendiary .
Things have arrived at such a crisis that the bending of a straw may produce a revolution . The Ministry , it is alleged , have split with the military , and intend to resign . An officer who arrived in townon Friday night immediately left { or Monklands . He is said to have been the bearer of important despatches . '

Allen , arrived at Southampton , on Tuesday , September 4 th , at eight o ' clock , with the usual British and foreign West India Mails , m charge of Lioutcnani ; Da vies , R . 2 f .. Admiralty Agent . ; Accounts from Grey Town , ( San Juan Nicaragua ) state , that after an interval of about a month , during which'time no communications had taken place with the sf . te of Nicaragua , a boat arrived at Grey Town on the 20 th of July , bringing intelligence , that the city of Rivas , or Nicaragua , with the adjoining estates , had been destrovRd hv t . hn
rebel chief Samosa , and of his having attacked the toi-tot ban Carlos , and possessed himsolf of all the arms and ammunition . The troops'of this place also joined him , and the only person left there on the 29 th of June , of any authorit y , was the Collector of Customs . It was further reported , that bamosa 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 of the river . Another boat arrived shortly afterwards , and despatches also reached Grey Town ou the day of the 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

Ihe disturbances in the interior had prevented the usual arrivals of cochineal for shipment by the Dee . from Carthagena wo learn , that the miserable state ot that unfortunate place was beyond description , as starvation , filth , and disease , were rapidly thinning the inhabitants . In twenty-nine davsOOO persons out of a population of 10 , 000 had died by cholera . When the Dee left , tho disease had sensibly abated , although the fatal cases at one time amounted to 90 and 100 per diem . The authorities had ordered the frequent discharge of cannons and other firearms , which was said to have had tho ettcct of destroying the impregnated state of tho atmosphere , and tended , in an extraordinary manner , to abate the disease , which , it was feared , would take off thousands ofthei ) eonlfi . if nn « wi «« i
Ihe want of provisions continued to be felt It was said the ravages of the disease had been accelerated by starvation , the people-of tho interior bemg fearful - of going into the town with provisions . Supplies were . only , theveforo , received by foreign vessels arriving at Carthagena . * The Jamaica Morning Journal' of the 7 th of August has late advices from Port-au-Prince , Hayti by which we learn that there had been some more bloody work going on In that unfortunate country . No less than six persons who had hitherto held high offices under the government had been ordered by President Soulouque to be shot , and the order was iramediaJely carried into effect . If it had not been for the interference of the British and Ame . ncan 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 the ferocity of Soulouque was General Similien , who had been for some tim , e 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 General Similien I took advantage of SouloHque ' 3 absence in endeavouring ; to . bring about a change of government , by obtaining the assistance of the remainingportion of the army left in ite town and of the people , in taking upon himself the administration of the affairs ' of the . repubHc .
