  AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . "Vizsxa , SEPTfiUBER 3 . _ G eneral Haynau arrived * t Pesth on tbe night of the 30 th ult . He was received at the terminus by a municipal deputation , headed by the bargermaster Koller , who made a speech of welcome , to which the comraander-inchief replied . A band of music played the People ' s Hymn . From the terminia to the Karoly-palace , municipal hussars , with lighted torches , rode on either side of the general ' s carriage . On alighting he was received by the officers of the garrison with lou-i cheers . As if to show that the hangman is Havnaa ' s shadow , theofficial journal of Pesth follows
  
  tip the announcement of arrival by stating , that on the following day , in the new market-place , Ko&suth not 3 s to the amount of 142 , 071 florins , were burned by the public executioner . The whole nominal value of this paper which had been destroyed at Pesth was l , 473 , 043 fl . As this was the money in which the Pesth tradespeople got paid for their goods , the affection which they bear to General Haynau may be easily conceived . Shortly after his arrival a placard appeared thanking the citizens in Ms name for the honour thus desi gned to show their joy at his return , trot expensing them from that demonstration ; and addicg that the best token which they could give of their desire to oblige him would be strenuously to maintain order .
  
  On the same day on which Haynau returned to Pesth , a military execution took place . Georg Fulop , Dofarv of Danaveese , was shot , according to sentence of curt-martial , for participation in the insurrection and concealment of arms . According to the « Montags Zeitung , ' twelve superior officers of the Hungarian army were condemned to be executed at the Austrian head-quarters at Temervar ; but on the arrival of the emperor ' s aidede-nnip , Gfn ^ ral Grunne , their execution was deferred ; and their trial will be transferred from tbe summary jurisdiction of a drum-head court-martial to the more formal tribuual of a council of war . Haynau is expected in Vienna on the 11 th .
  
  Ti !» Prussian * Staa's Anzeiger , ' of the 6 th September , says , ia an article dated Semlin , August 27 , * Tiic day before yesterday the remainder of the Magyar rjop 3 stationed between Orsova and Mehadia were reduced , and laid dimn their arms unconditionally . Tvvo legions , an Italian and Polish , flid to Seiris , where , however , they were received roughly , and obliged 10 retire further iuto the interior of Tu-ke . y . ' Tue brother of the late Count Zichy bat inserted an article in several papers , in which he declares th& , although government has been pleased to show mercy to Georgey for his political offences , it is not in i's power to pardon a murderer , and that he , as the next cf kin to the deceased , demands that Georgey be brought to trial for the crime committed nn : ler bis directions .
  
  Venice has lost its privilege as a free port by its obs -iaalc rental to become part and parcel of the Ak irian d « mh > ions . For the time being the island St . Giorgie Hagc » ore is to he the utmost limit of these ri ghts . This measure has long been in conterapla < on , but no sufficient motive for making the altftiStion occurred till now . ViBxsA , September 5 . —The Polish and the Italian legions , under Wysowski and Benifzki , have alre-dy passed unmolested through the Servian territory , Laving previously laid down arms , and they are marching from Fetistara to Widdin . Kossuth . with his companions , met with no reception from the Pasha of Ada Kalesi , below Oreora : he continued his flight down the Danube in a very weil eqnipped bark , that held about forty men ; the passengers sailed under the Turkish fUg .
  
  CoiTorcf . —The Press' sajs the negotiations respeaiag the surrender of the fortress were broken off- A c-mncil of war was sitting in the fortress , at which Klapka presided , and in which several civil commissioners took part , to discuss the draft of a ts-. ty of capitalation , but winch contains conditions sue' -, as only a victor might address to his fallen ear-: j . One paragraph among others declares , ' A fn " : > nrl entire amnesty is granted to the Magyars . ' K =-. > a in vain endeavoured to introduce reasonable am -ndsents to the civil commission above mentioned . TLo end U all this , we are given to understand , is tin ? the Austrian General Esorich , whose headquarters are at Dotis , has ordered his soldiers to occupy their positions round the fortress .
  
  ^ Thi < speedy surrender of Comorn is much question J here , and as a proof to the contrary , it is asswied that Klapia has caused the fortress to be supplied \ rith food for the winter within the last few days . The ' Warsaw Courier * of the 5 th announces the submission Gf the Magyar corps under Kosinsk y , composed of 12 , 000 men and 56 cannon . This corps laid down their arms on the 25 th August , before the
  
  Sussiaa General Grotenhjelm , the reduction of the fortress of Mankacz on the 26 th , to the corps of Geu . Kartowitch ; and , lastly , the delivery up of all the prisoners of war , and the provisions of Georgey ' s coins by Gen . Rudiger to the Austrian commissioner . The report concludes thus : 'At this moment all the Htis « gar " , an fortresses , with the exception of Comorn and Peterwardein , are in the hands of the allies , and ali ihe troops , with the exception of a few small ban •* »
  
  \ issxa- —General Haynau arrived at Vienna on the 6 ; a iust ., and it now appears pretty certain that he will not return to Hungary . Various rumours are 2 float as to b : s future destination ; some say tha . he wiil he appointed Governor of Vienna , others Commander-in-Chief in Styria , others in Italy , and others again in the Voralberg . The sister cf Kossutb , and her husband , M . Kutkay , have be . - r . vresled and taken to Presburg . It is said thit important documents , relative ti the Hungarian insun-f ction were found in their possession . A corres iondeut in the ' German Reform' pretends to know from authorit y , that Georgey will enter the
  
  arm ? iu the Caucasus as a volunteer . Marshal Radc'zski is expected to meet the Emperor at Cilli , and w accompany him on his tour , and to return with his Majesty to Vienna . The question of the recognition of Hungary fully occupied the attention of the Cabinet Council . According to the German Referee' they will not decide the question before the arrival of Radetski , Haynau , and Jellachich . The toe } . rity of the council seem disposed to grant to fiuugary all the political and administrative concessions that may be compatible with the charter grafted on the 4 th March , and to abstain from any mezsures in regard to the introduction oTthe system of centralisation . It is hinted that some of the
  
  minuter * are disposed to accord a distinct constitu . tion to Hungary , but this is not very likely to be true . Aaoiber party in the council , among whom are-pecifiedihe Ministers of the Interior , Justice , acd Public Iastruction , are , oh the contrary , in favour of the rigorous enforcement of the constitution of March 4 th . The residence of each of the ministers is to be furnished with a telegraphic bureau , whkli will communicate with the central bureau . A contract is about to be included for the prolongation of the Prussian telegraph from Oderbsrg to Kinua . All the Russian troop 3 are expected to leave Hungary and Transylvania , with the exception
  
  of tne third army corps under General Rudiger , which is concentrated at Kaschau andEperies . The * Prague Zeitung' of September 5 th , says : —« It has now b « n ascertained upon unquestionable authority thai Eosscth , Dembinski , and Mesyaros , are at "Widuin , under the protection af the Turkish Pacha . Thry had previously placed themselves under British protection , and signifind their intention to emigrate to England . Tbe intervention of the British Consul has in consequence been exercised , and the liberty of their persons demanded . Arthur Von Georgey has for severe ! days past been at Gratz , in the fall enjoyment of liberty . '
  
  VissxA , Sept . 7 th . — The nei ghbourhood of Comoro is still in the hands of the Hungarians ; and whiie on the one hand proportions of the garrison leave the fortress to lay down their arms , on the other hand fresh bands of Honveds , flock to supply th . : place . The truce with the fortress has been pronged for a week . Klapka and other officers have left ihe precincts of the fort , and gone to the Imperial camp at Dotis , seeing the impossibility of Obtaining ; the ascendancy over a garrison still bent on resistance . Count Paul Esterhazy is spoken of as the present head of the garrison—a violent advocate of « no surrender . " Nugent is ever drawing Closer the ring of besieging troops about Comorn ; and the communication across the Danube is reestablished .
  
  The Hungarian fortress of Munkacs surrendered anconditionally to the Russian general Ktrlowics on tte 2 / ih ult . The garrison consisted of 32 officers , and 329 ioldiers , of the 91 st Honved battalion , 21 Canaan , ar , d 320 nraskets , while supplies of munifao : t ? . sd vscttalling were found in the fortress CoKiel .-Vines Wassitchikoff is charged with the ' del-ve-v f the keys of the fortress to the Austrian emperor .

Besides these , seventytwo , refugees of inferior rank , have been brought into Tarnul Severino .
  
  The sister of Kossuth and her husband , M . Kutkay , have been arrested and taken to Presburg . Haynau reached Presburg at midnkht on the 5 th inst . b y a steamer from Raab . He was received at the landing-place witb great ceremony by the officers of the garrison and tbe civil authorities , and bands of music played the People ' s Hymn . Hayuau has received the grand cross of the order of St . Andrew in brilliants , together with a complimentary letter from Nicholas , Emperor of Russia .
  
  FRANCE . Paris , Saturdat . —The President has sent the following letter to Col . Edgard Ney , his officer d ' ordoanance at Rome : — 'Elysee National , 18 th August , 1849 . 'My dear Ney , —The French Republic has not sent an array to Roma to strangle Italian liberty ; but , on the contrary , to regulate it , and preserve it from excessee , and on a solid basts to restore to the Poniificial throne the Prince who a t first placed himsrlf boldly at the head of all useful reforms .
  
  ' I learn , with pain , - that the benevolent intentions of the Holy Father , and our own deeds , remain unfruitful in consequence of tbe influence of passion and hostile feelings . It 13 wished to have , as the basis of the Pope ' s return , proscription and tyranny . Say , on my part , to General Kostolan , that it cannot be permitted , under the shadow of the tricolour flag , to commit an act derogatory to tbe character of our abnegation . ' 1 sum up tints the re-establishment of the temporal power of the Pope—a general amnesty , the secularisation of the administration , the Code Napoleon , and a liberal government .
  
  'I have been personally hurt , on reading the proclamation of tbe three Cardinals , to see that it has not even made mention of the name of France , or of the sufferings of our brave soldiers . Every insult offered to our flag or to our uuifoim goes ri ght to my heart ; and I beg you to make known to them , that if France does not sell her service , she requires at least that she may have gratitude for her sacrifices and self-denial ; 'At the time when our armies made the tour of
  
  Europp , they left everywhere , as the traces of their passage , the germs of liberty , and the destruction o < the abuses oi the feudal system . It shall not be said that , in 1849 , a French army has acted in another manner , and broHght about another result . Desire the General to thank the army in my name for its noble conduct ; I bave learned with pain that , even physically , it has riot been treated as it deserved to be . Nothiu , ^ should be neglected to make our troops com f ortable ,
  
  • Receive , my dear Ney , the assurance of my sincere friendship . Louis Napoleon Buonaparte . ' It seems that fur some time a great coldness , had arisen between General Rostulan and the cardinals , on the score of the tribunal which had been chosen to try all those who had in any way meddled with th revolution . In the proclamation , in which this tribunal was announced , the extraordinary pretension had been put forward of the reconstitution tithe
  
  real inqu i sition , charged to seek out crimes or offences committed against religion , and against the authority of the Pope . The real object was to act with severity against the immense majority of the Roman people , to enter on a career of denunciations , and to open a great political prosecution , in which every inhabitant of the Roman States would have to appear in bis turn , and this at a time when the French government was talking of an amnesty and forgatfulness of the past .
  
  The coldness arising from this difference was increased by oDe of etiquette . On being invented with the title of general-in-chief , the French commander had paid an official visit to tbe Quirinal ; he waited in vain for two days for it to be returned ; at the end of the time the commission sent for bim to make a comrauuicition . General Rostolau declared that if the cardinals did not return his visit in two hours , he should feel himself compelled to establish the respect due to his unifonr , and to his official position . The commission at length decided oa returning his visit , but it is said that information was sent off to Gaeta of the iacidtnt , remarking that if the commission yielded as to a . question of form , it was
  
  determined not to give way on the question itself Such was the state of things when a French general arrived at Rome , bearing the confidential letter to M . Edgard Ney . M . de Rayneval , who read it , thought it most timely , and that it should be at once published . But he had no sooner communicated it to General Rostolan than that officer felt hurt at its not having been written to him , refused to bave it published , and then gave in his resignation . M . de Rayneval then went , at the request of Col . Ney , to the Quirinal , and communicated , in a non-official manner , the contents of the letter to the commission of cardinals . He begged them to
  
  authorise its insertion in the official journal . The cardinals at first consented to it , but after a few hours consideration they revoked that decision , withdrew the authorisation , and formally declared that if that wish wa 3 disregarded they would resign their functions and leave tbe city . During , however , the few hours which elapsed between the granting and the withdrawal of the authorisation , the letter had become the subject of general comment ; a few moments of authorised publicity was sufficient for numerous copies to get into circulation ! and an effect as rapid as profound was caused . The army , in particular , read it with avidity .
  
  It is not known what the Pope will do under these circumstances , La Presse' states that General Rostolan has been recalled from Rome , and is replaced by General Randeu . The' Gazette de France' of last evening has been seized , on a charge of having attacked Republican institutions and the Constitution , in an article signed Alexandre Remy . This journal is strongly Legitimist . Paris , Moxdav . — 'La Patrie' contradicts the rumour that M . de Fallouxhad quitted Paris in consequence of his disapproval of the letter of the President of the Republic to Colonel Ney .
  
  ^ Letters from Toulon of the 6 th mention the arrival there of the steamer Cetberus from Civjta Vecchia with a number of sick . According to these letters the Pope was as obstinate as ever in refusing concession . This was said to be owing to the King of Naples , who scarcely ever lost si ght of him , and also to the Cardinals . Measures were taken in Rome for the more complete installation of the French army , as if an indefinite occupation were meditated . Paris , Tuesday . —By a decree of the President of the Republic , published in the « Moniteur , ' M . de Falloux resumes his functions of Minister of Public Instruction , which had during his absence in the country been performed by M . Lanjuinais , Mi- , nister of Public Works .
  
  The'DixDecembre ' states that M . de Falloux approved of the letter of the President of the KepuWic in the warmest and most explicit terms when it was submitted to the council , and that be evan said , ' I would sign such a letter with both hands . ' 4 La Presse' admits that it was premature in announcing the recall of General Rosto ' . an . The order for his recall enl y left Paris 011 Monday . It adds , that General Rostolan , aware that he was about to be recalled , had transmitted his resignation to the Minister of War .

It is untrue that the retirement of General Rostolan was occasioned by the President ' s letter ; that officer had determined on quitting the command before the letter was written , owing to the difficulties he met with from the Pontifical Commission . . M . Lourion , one of the national representatives , accused of having participated in the insurrectionary movement of the 13 th of June , has written to M . Baroche , Attorney-General , to apprise him of his intention to surrender for trial on the 8 th oi October .

  ITALY . R 0 ME , Abgbst 31 . —A letter from Trieste , in the * Patrie , announces that Gariba'di has succeeded in taking refuge in Dalmatia , among the Montenegrins of the mountains . The « Giornale di Roma' of the 1 st publishes decree of the 31 st ult . from General Rostolan , prohibiting assemblages of people in the streets , and manifestations of any kind , threatening transgressors with the punishment prescribed by law . Private letters , published by the ' Tuscan Monitore 1
  
  , state , as the reason of this decree , that the Romans wished to make a demonstration in favour of General Rostolan and the French , and against the government commission of the three cardinals , to prevent which General Rostolan issued the above decree . The' Giornale di Roma' further contains a decree , signed by the French Prefect of Police , Le Rouxeau , reviving the law of the 9 th June , 1841 , which has never been revoked , and prescribes certain police regulations concerning passports and permits of residence .
  
  The' Piedmontese Gazette , ' quotes letters from Rome of the 1 st , stating that the Swiss guard is restored , and mounts guard at the Vatican . The finances were in a desperate state ; oa tht 31 st ult . there was not enough in the coffers to pay the commissariat of the army , and it was not till three p . m . that 2 , 000 scudi were scraped together to pay the contractor for bread , M . Carloni , who had refused to furnish the troops for that-day if he was not paid that sum . The' Concordia' of Turin , of the 7 th , states , from Rome , 2 nd inst ., that Gen . Rostolan having restored several persons to liberty whom the cardinals had got arrested , tbe latter remonstrated . General Rostolan answered that he would da so whenever
  
  persons were arrested without a reason being given ; and that , for . that purpose , he would set French soldiers to guard the prisons , which was accordingly done . The cardinals then threatened to choose other places for prisons , Gen . Rostolan answered , it was their undoubted right to do bo , as it was his to send French soldiers theret Letters from Naples of the 4 > b , state that M . de Rayneval had succeeded in exacting some liberal concessions from the Pope , with which he had started for Rome on the preceding day . VENICE . —The' Venice Gazette' of the 31 st ult .
  
  contains a notification , dated the 30 th , by which General Goizkowski allows coffee-houses and public places to rema n open till one p . tn . By a decree of the same date the pape # money of Venice , now reduced to half its nominal value , is to be exchanged for Treasury bills , which are to be current throughout the Lomberdo-Venetian kingdom . Marshal Radetzki arrived at Venice on the 28 th with Arch duke Sigisraund . After reviewing the troops on the square of St . Mark , the Marshal and his suite entered the cathedral and heard mass .
  
  Private advice from Vienna , dated September 6 th , stale that Kadetski was extremely well satisfied with his reception at Venice . On the 30 th the Marshal went in a steamer from Malghera to the Canal Reggio , where he entered a gondola which had been Prepared for him . The thunder of the cannon from the land batteries and the ships saluted him as he disembarked at the Place of St . Mark , where he inspected the troops , who , as usual , received him with the most enthusiastic shouts . The Patriarch and the Common Council afterwards delivered the keys of the city into his hands . ( They have alrcadj been brought here by one of the Archdukes . ) The Place of St . Mark was illuminated in the evening . The
  
  idea of employing tweniy-four-poundew as mortari was suggested by a Frenchman . When it is considered that from the 1 st of May up to the period of the capitulation 108 , 515 projectiles were employed against Malghera and Venice , 59 , 300 of which were massive and 49 , 200 hollow , much less damage has been done than might have been expected . —Times . The last blow has been dealt upon Venice . The privilege of that city as a free port has been withdrawn , or which is the same thing , is confined to the little isle of San Giorgio Maugiore . Thus the only prop which stayed that noble " city from ruin , has been snatched away ; and the sum of what little commercial prosperity it latterl y enjoyed will be swept over to its loval rival Trieste .
  
  PIEDMONT . —The Turin journals of the 4 th inst . announce that the funeral service in memory of King Charles Albert , celebrated on the previous day by order of the munici pality , was attended by an immense multitude of people . All the members of the corps diplomatique were present , and the four legions of the National Guards were to a man under arms . The discussions in both Chambers presented no interest . M . Morosi , president of the National Assembly of Venice ; M . Varre , secretary of that Assembly ; Messrs . Angelo Papadopoli , Comello , Mircoviz , and other Venetian citizens , had arrived at Genoa .
  
  SWITZERLAND . The Deutsche Allgemeine Zeilung' of the 6 ih inst . says that a collective nots had been sent from the three northern great powers , with the approval of the French cabinet , to the Swiss di » t . Its information is derived from Berne , where the conttnts of the note were discussed in certain circles , and by which it would appear that the principality of Neufchatel is demanded back for the King of Prussia .
  
  The French authorities have declared that they would not for the future allow any German fugitives coming from Switzerland to take either Paris or Lyons in iheir route . The English ambassador also in Switzerland bad , in consequence of instructions to that effect , been obli ged to refuse passports to several fugitives , such as Hzstein , - Sachs , and others . Raveaux obtained one quite exceptionally , in consequence of his previous position as ambassador himself .
  
  GERMANY . PRUSSIA . — Berlin , September 5 . —The Oldenburg Chamber has rejected , by a majority of one vote ( twenty-one to twenty ) , the government proposition for adhering to the Triple Alliance . The Grand Duke having accompanied his daughter , the Queen of Greece , part of the way to Munich a courier was despatched with tbe news , and it now remains to be seen whether his Royal Higbftesa will dissolve the Chamber , or whether the Ministry wili resign . This rejection has caused considerable
  
  sensation , as a contrary issue was expected after the adhesion of Hamburg and Bremen . The Chamber of Anhalt , Dessau , and Coetben have , on the other hand , acceded to the union under certain reserves Frankfobt , September 6 .-In consequence of a note sent m by the Prussian government requiring a definite answer , within a limited period , whether the government of this free city intends joining the three Kings' Alliance or not , difficulties of many kinds have sprung up , ' Au account given in the « Cologne Gazette' of the fh * ^ ' 7 ?

In the minority were Kleist-Rectzow , Reichenspeiger , Gunt Renard , Count Slolberg , Duke of Rahbor , Count Mons , Bismark Schonhausen , Count Umtz , &c , and , in fact , the whole strength of the Russian Srtv « « hence visible that the attempt . to bring this party into power , when they only owe the size of their present minority to the fact of the demo , cratic party entirely abstaining from voting , would ho little less than madness .
  
  ... Hesse-Darmstadt has adhered to the league of the three kings . The ratification of adhesion arrived yesterday . The next events » o be looked lor in the Gennaa political world , are the decisions of theHanovarian and Saxon Chambers with regard to the incorporation of their respective states in the Prussian Bundestaat . Bbrmn , Sept . 9 . —The debate . on the revision of the constitution opened yesterday in the First Chamber . On the first article being discussed , Potworowski thought it better to wait for the proposition of the government before the house came to any decision with regard to Posen . He Pro . tested against the absorption of Posen into the Bundes-staat , and appealed to articles 1 , 3 , and 22 of the Vienna treaties . Manteuffel held that Posen
  
  had no right to challenge any separate political existence . Bruggemann spoke against the proposed line of demarcation . Articles 1 and 2 were passed unchanged . The windows of many of the printshops here are crowded with lithographic representations of the butcheries at Rastadt . Tbe execution of the fine yonng man , Max Dortu , seems to be one of the most moving subjects of this sort . Under the print are the words which he is said to have addressed to his executioners : Aim well , brothers . '
  
  BAVARIA , Sep . 7 . - —The land commissary of the Palatinate at Spires has extended the prohibition of political clubs to the so-called Pius clubs , which measure seems to have struck no small degree of terror into the hearts of the Ultra-mountanists of the Palatinate . GRAND DUCHY OF BADEN . —The ' Augsburg Gazette' of the 7 th is informed from its correspondent , at Rastadt that up to the 31 st ult ., for a week past , not a single person has been shot ; the informant aays tbat even Jansen and Bernigau , both
  
  under sentence of death , are actually alive , so likewise Dinkel , the latter , indeed , being permitted to have a draught of fresh air within the walls of his prison . He says however , that this improved state of things will not last long , slow as the investigations are now progressing . The description of the captives still languishing at the expiration of many weeks , on their couches of straw , the foul air and stench of their dungeons , the sad state of disease among them , their wants of requisite covering—all these things require speedy help ere cholera and typhus make their appearance .
  
  The'Deutsche Zeitung' of the 6 th inst ., says , great numbers of the captive insurgents at Rastact attempted on the 4 th to escape by disarming the sentinels and forcing the gates ; their efforts were frustrated by tbe troops on duty , and measures were taken to prevent a recurrence of similar attempts . Two of the insurgents have latel y been sentenced to ten years' confinement . It is not a little remarkable that whilst the troops
  
  of other states are leaving the duchy , Prussian troops are taking up important positions , particularly in the vicinity of the Swiss frontier . There are grounds for believing that Prussia , will not demand the repossession of its ex-principality of Neufchatel , provided an indemnity for it be given ; and the Swiss executive pledge itself to put down the revolutionary propaganda in the confederation . The executive has already charged . General Dufour with a mission to Prnssia .
  
  HESSE HOMBURG . —The Prince of Hesse Homburg has just acceded to the constitution . OLDENBURG . —The Diet of this grand duchy was dissolved on the morning of the 3 rd insfc . by the Minister of State , Schloifer . The cause was the German question , on which the ministers were beaten by a majority of one . RHINE PROVINCES . —Latest news from Cologne to the 8 th inst . Dr . Gootschalk has fallen a victim to the cholera raging here .
  
  RUSSIA . The following notification has been published in several of the governments of West Russia : — ' From three to four thousand portions ( ueastok ) of land have been assigned for as many Jewish families in the governments of Minsk , Witen&k , Mohitin , and Grodno , and those Jews who shal l be willing to devote themselves to agriculture shall raise a sum oi money from the crown , according to the law of
  
  March 5 , 1847 . These would have a farther privilege of exemption from recruiting and all taxes " for several years . Such persons , therefore , as are de . sirous to engage in agriculture in any of the above governments , are to send in their petitions to the civil government , stating their income , family , &c , who will carry their wishes into execution , since it is the desire of the government to settle a large number of Jews on these lands during the present year .
  
  Wahsaw , Sept . 3 . —The ' Kurier Warsawski' of the 3 rd contains the following address from the Emperor to the army : — 'Children ! God has blessed your zeal , your courage , yourunwearied perseverence underdifficulties ! Children , you have done your duty , and the rebellion is extinguished . Wherever the enemy dared to await you , you have conquered him , and , pursuing step by step the fugitives , you have ot length witnessed a rare occurence : the whole army of the enemy has laid
  
  down arms before you , and submitted without condition to our grace . In the course of two months there were taken by us and delivered up to us 150 flags and standards , 400 cannon , and more than 80 , 000 rebels laid down arms . Honour and glory to you ; honour and glory to your victorious leader . You have shown yourselves worthy of the name of the victorious army of all the Russians . I thank you all and each individually . I am contented with you . I am proud of you . Nicolaus . '
  
  MALTA . September 2 . —On the departure of Mr . More O'Ferrall for England , Colonel Jones , of the Royal Engineers , assumed the civil government , in addition to the command of the troops . A letter from Patras , says : — We have had a great influx of Poles , Italians , and Hungarians , trom Aucona , Civita Vecchia , and other places . The Greeks have behaved most nobl y towards them * two subscriptions , one of 1 , 200 , and another of 1 , 000 drachmas , have been raised , to help them or their way to Athens and the levant . The town of Patras found them lodgings and food during their stay , and provisions for their journey . At least 500
  
  of these unfortunate exiles have landed on the shores of the Morea . The Greeks received them with open arms , and in a most sympathising manner and considering they are still very poor , the amount of their subscriptions was very handsome . The Greeks considered it a duty to make Borne return for the kindness shown their nation when they were endeavouring to free themselves from the Turks and their present conduct ought to remove the charee of ingratitude under which they have been unfairlv labouring for many years . Their conduct is that of a nation with free and hi gh-born notions , and contrasts sadly with the difficulty and refusal to land thrown in the way of the refugees bv the sovern montsof Corfu and Malta . ' ' 8 ern "
  
  The poor creatures who came here from Cevita Vecchia in the Maltese barque still remain on board her ( except some dozen , who have died broken hearted and of starvation ) in thequarantine harbour without heing permitted any communication 2 the shore . Amongst them are several females . We have hitherto looked , upon the government of Naples as the very acme of intolerance and oppres sion but the general and well-founded opinion here now , s , that more cruel treatment than these l or refugees have experienced at the bands oUhe fi government , could never have emanated fronTany other government in existence .

  OUTBREAK IN CEPHALONIA i ^ mm high commissioner , Mr . i ^^ SZSlS * , the senate of the Ionian Island , the P » ldent ° * ;

  intelligence of a very serious outbreak in Cephalonia . By the statements made to me H appears that , as early as the 19 th August , information was received by the police that the notorious Vltcco , in cbnjunc . tion with the brothers Georgia and Michaele , Pierato , Caralambo Focca , and other individuals known to have been implicated in the affair of September last year , were collecting arms and ammunition in the district of Leo , that nig htly meetings of Contadini were held in the house of Papa Gregoria Nodaro , and that attempts were making by him and others to excite the inhabitants of the neighbouring
  
  villages to take part in a movement , the objects of which are not yet defined , but which appear to have partaken of the same mixed character as the movement of September , 1848—a vague political excitement being engrafted upon a desire of plunder , and wish to gratify feelings of personal vengeance , excited by local feuds . Under these circumstances , the police , after searching various houses in the villages of Ranzacli and Scala for arms , summoned , on the 26 th August , the Papa Gregoria Nodaro , and several other persons of bad repute , to attend &t Argostoli , under the powers of the ordinary Police
  
  Act , in order to give an account of their conduct ; and , at the same time , sent down a reinforcement to the police picket at Scata , consisting of a sergeant and two constables , who were way-laid , and fired at upon the road by a party of twelve men . The sergeant was wounded and one of the constables killed . This appears to have been the commence ' ment of the intended rising , for the following day , August 27 . All commanications with Argostoli were cut off , tbe police reports intercepted , and the police themse lves driven out of Scala by a band of armed men , w ho fired from fifteen to twenty shots at them on their way to the beach , where they were fortunately enabled to take refuge in a Guavda Costa
  
  boat . I wish that it were in my power to state to your highness that the excesses committed b y these ruffians stopped here . Unhappily , it is my duty to » dd that one of the most respectable and respected citizens of that district , Cavaliere Metaxan Zannato , having given umbrage to the insurgents , as it is supposed , by transmitting to Argostoli a letter , which was intercepted , and which contained some account of their designs , his house was surrounded , and he himself burnt alive in it with two of his servants . The life of his son-in-law , Dr . Deraetrio Loverdo Zuganato , who was also with him , was spared 5 but he is detained a prisoner , and a large ransom is demanded for bis release . The last accounts state
  
  that the house of Si gnor Rodoteo Metaxa Zannato , at Scala , has also been burnt ; that the houses of other Si gnori are threatened ; that the people of Leo , when the packet sailed , were on their way to burn the house of Signore Battista Metaxa at Valtes ; . that the movement of the contadini was gradually spreading , there being between three hundred and four hundred men ib arms , amongst whom were many strangers ; and that the well affected were forced to join them by threats of violence to tbeir families and property in the event of a refusal . I need not
  
  point out to your Highness the absolute necessity of putting a stop , instantly , to such a state of things . No matter what tbe cause of it be—be it public or private-be it partl y political , and partly , as I am inclined to believe , the fruit of their local feuds , with which the island of Cephalonia has so long baen enned , —this insurrectional movement must be put down , or the reign of law will be over , and the government will be disgraced . 1 shall , therefore , use at once , all the powers confided to me by the constitution in such cases ; and shall direct the proclamation of martial-law throughout the district to which the movement has already extended , and in any ether district to which it may spread , A strong detachment of troops will proceed to Argostoli this
  
  evening , by the Ionia , and your Highness may rely upon it , that no effort will be wanting on my part , or on that of the gallast officer who commands her Majesty ' s forces , to restore , at once , the authority of the general government , and to give to the well disposed end peaceful population of Cephalonia , that prompt and effectual protection on the part of her Majesty ' s government , which they are entitled to expect . I regret the necessity of these measures , but I am confident that your Highness , and the senate , will f « el with me , that , as these misguided men have disregarded the warning given in the recent amnesty , and construed the leniency of the government into weakness , they must now be made to feel its strength . I have the honour ,
  
  „ . „ . 'H . G . WARD . L . H . C . His Highness S p . Focca Stefano , President of the Senate . ' The following reply , dated the same day , was sent by the President of the Senate : , _ , „ .. "' ,, * Corfu , 30 th August , ijxcellency , —I ; have communicated to the senate in its extraordinary meeting of to-day tlve note which your excellency did me the honour to address to me under this date . Aidl hasten to inform you that the senate fully concurs in the wise , provident , and necessary met sure which your excellency has adopted to suppress the seditious movements which have unfortunately again taken place in Cephalonia .
  
  ' The senate trusts that your excellency , solicitous for the well being of these states , will not cease to adopt such measures as circumstances may hereafter call for , in order to preserve and gurantee tranquillity , so highly compromised , and restore order to the misguided districts of that island .

  ATHENS . August 28 . —The principal events in Greece have been the arrivals of numerous bodies of Italian Polish , and other refugees from Ancona , Civita Vecchia , Corfu , and Malta : those from the two latter places had been refused an asylum . The committee established to receive subscrip . Uonsm favour of these refugees , has nobl y fulfilled £ mission . A sub-committee has been appointed to look after those men who can obtain a livine bv their labour . The Italians resident at Athens have also formed a committee , and called upon their

  fellow-countrymen , by ai address published , to hasten to assist these unfortunates . About 150 from Malta landed a few days ago at Patras , where they were most hospitabl y received succoured , and forwarded on to Athens , at the ex ' pence of the inhabitants . One hundred and twenty also arrived at Megara on the 22 nd : the people gave them food and shelter , and even the inhabitants of the island of Saltmine , poor though they be , imme . diately they heard of their arrival , made up a sub . scription , and sent it to them . All ( hose , in fact who have been refused at Malta and Corfu , have found an asylum in Greece , amidst a poor but hospitable people , who gladly Bharetheir hard-eatned loaf with tbe unfortunate .
  
  AU the ministers have subscribed ; and it is said of M . Krestenitis , the Minister of the Interior , t hat when a foreign minister endeavoured to prove to him the necessity for denying these refugees to enter Greece , he replied , ' This is not a question of poli . tics , but of humanity . The people of the western world all assisted us during our struggle for independence . Now these same people , as political refugees , demand an asylum , we cannot refuse them without being guilty of tbe blackest ingratitude : this Greece will never do , neither does any law authorise me to act otherwise .

  - WESTERN AFRICA . Letters from Saint Louis ( Senegal ) ef the 25 th . July , give the details of a sanguinary engagement which bad taken place between the French troopg and the inhabitants ef the village of Francyez ( Fonta Tora ) , some distance up the river . The people from the nei ghbouring villages had joined them to resist the invasion of the French , and encouraged by a victory which their countrymen had gained over the French some forty years since , the negroes waited the approach of their assailants with great firmnets , not firing a single shot until the expedition was within eighty yards of them . The blacks were protected behind barricades , and nothing Imt the muzzles of their muskets were visible . At length the firing began , and for twenty minutes
  
  the most determined resistance was made ; at length the caunon having partly demolished the barricades , a charge was ordered , and they were soon carried at the point of the bayonet , when a general route took place ; the blacks throwing away their arms , and jumping into the river to swim to the opposite bank . Several discharges of grape were made at them , and a number of them were killed , after which the village and all tbe fields of maize . were set fire to and destroyed . The loss of the blacks is considered to bave been very great , although only fifty of their bodies were found , the rest having been thrown into the river . The loss of the ex . pedition amounted to four killed and about thirty wounded , seventeen of whom were Europeans . The governor himself was wounded , but not seriously , just as he was mounting bis horse .
