in casa of the sailing of any further parties to invade Cuha , to search all vessels of a suspicious character , whether sailing under the United States or any other flag . It h supposed that Mr . Webster has already answered this eoiMDiuiiieatioii , and there is no reason to suppose he has not indimantly denied the right of any nation to search a vessel sailing under our flag . It is a fortunate matter for the peace of the world that the threatened course was not put in practice , as hut one reault could have followed . Congress will , of course , call for this correspondence at an early day , and , it baing contrary to mage to make it public till aBked for by Congress , we must only wait patienily . '
In relation to the communications hai . ded in by Mr . Crampton , we hear from ve > y good authority that Mr . "Webster has said , if the English or French claim to exercise the right of search , it will be good cause of war . It is said that a foreign war for many reasons , particularly those connected with excessive immigration , and declining manufactures , would not ba vm unacceptable at this moment to the great masses of the American people . The Chevalier Hnlseman , the Austrian Charge , if we may believe common rumour , hag informed the American government that if Koasuth has a public reception , he will demand his passports . This 6 tory , bowcrer , is contradicted .

DEATH OF THE KING OF HANOVER . At a quarter before seven o ' clock in the morning of Monday last the long life of Ernest , King of Hauover , was brought to a close . The deceased monarch , long known in this country as Prince Ernest Duke of Cumberland , v « as born at Buckingham Palace , then called the Queen ' s House , on the 5 th of June , 1771 , and waa therefore in the 81 st year of his agp . He spent the days of his infancy and boyhood at Kew , t' > £ e > ther with his younger brotherai the Dukes of Sussex and Cambridge , During many years of youth , manhood , and old age , the Duke resided abroad .
In the year 2790 tins Duke of Cumberland , then known as Prince Ernest , entered the army and served in the 9 th Hanoverian Light Dragoons , the command of which regiment he received in L 79 S , being then in the 22 d yeav of his age . Tlie last regiment wbich he held in our service was ' the Blues , ' to which , on the 22 d of January . 1327 , ha was appointed in succession to the Duke of Wellington ; but , when upon the accession of William IV ., all the Horse Guards were placed under the immediate authority of the Commanderin-Chief , the Duke of Cumberland took uvuhvage , resigned his colonelcy , and was succeeded in the command of the Bines by the late Lord Hill .
It was not until he reached the 28 ih year of his age that ( on the 23 d of April , 1799 , ) he became a member of the Kuu . se of Peers , when he was created Duke of Cumberland and Taviotdale In Great Britain , and lavl of Armagh in the peerage of Ireland , with a Parliamentary endowment of £ 12 , 000 per annum . During his residence in England lh-3 3 ) uke was not entrusted to fill any office , civil or military , of the least importance , except the Chsmcellovship of the University of Dublin , to which be « as elected iiiilSGo . George III ., however , occasionally employed him in negotiations connected with the Roman Catholic question . Though thus employed ,
Still the course of his existence was not at this time diversified by any very remarkable occurrence till the ysar 1810 , when on ihe night of the 31 st of May an extraordinary attempt was Ernie upon the life of his Royal Highness . While asleep , he was furiously attacked by a man armed with n sabre , who inflated upon him several wounds in lha head . The Dufcs , not beU \« aWs to form the least conjecture as to whence the blows proceeded , sprang out of bed to give an alarm ; but he was followed in the dark by bis assailant , and cu : across tde thii ' . hs . Upon assisfauce arriving , Sellis , an Italian valet , who ~ ifc is alleged—had thus attacked
the Duke , was found locked in his own room with his throat cut ; and spots of blood were observed upon the floor of the passage leading to the apartment which Seilis occupied . On the next day a cot oner ' s inquesc was held upon the body ' of Sellis , which , after sitting four hours lo bear evidence , deliberated about one hour and then returned a verdic of felo Ac $ e . The Duke of Cumberland soon recovered from the ef / ects of his wounds , but this painful CTent gavs rise to much scandal , and it must be admitted that the Duke ' s contempt for public opinion frequently exposed him to a species of hostility which persons of better judgment might easilv have avoided .
At all periods of his life the Pvske . of Cumberlaud , being a man ot strong prejudices and strong passions , was a violent political partisan ; accordingly we find him , in 1810 , entering with much ardour into the Regency question , and opposing the government strenuously on many of the points at issue . When the power of Bonaparte was nearly destroyed , the Duke of Cumberland again went abroad , and resided chiefly at Berlin , but previous
to settling in that capital , and some time before the close of the war , he joined the Prussian army , then engaged against the French Emperor , was present at several battles , and witnessed the death of Gen , Moreau . Upon the defeat of the enctny the Duke l&st sot a moment in entering Hanover ; and , acting ill the name and on behalf of his failier , resumed possession of the electorate . His lltiyal Highness remained absent from England till after his marriage , which event took place in the year 1815 ,

when he was united to the Prince s Frederica-Can . lina-Sophia , who was third daughter of the late reigning Duke of Mecklenburg Strelitz , and niece to Queen Charlotte , consort of George lit . In consequence of the death of Princess Charlotte of Wales , strong apprehensions were entertained that the throne of England might pass out of the direct line of succession , and immediately thereupon the vnimage * of the Dukes of Clarence , Keuf , Cambridge , &c , took place , and suitable provisions for these Royal personages were made by
Parliament . During the latter part of the reign of George IV ., and throughout the whole of the reign of William IV ., the Duk 3 of Cumberland resided principally in England , and was remarkably regular in his attendance in the House of Lords . Al the Ia 3 t of the memorable debates which took place upon the Roman Catholic claims , the Duke of Clarence declared in favour of the proposed concession , and spoke in support of the Relief Bill . The Duke of Cumberland unn \ M \ . ately rose , a »;\ in a short but forcible speech , delivered with some warmth , condemned the measure , and expressed his unalterable determination to be governed by the principles upon wbich his father aiul the majority of his family had ever acted . He uniformally supported in Parliament the political opinions which guided the Pitt ,
ths Perceval , and tlie Liverpool Administrations ; wni \ e , at tne period which we have now reached , he was a warm patron of the Brunswick clubs , and also held tbe office of Grand Master of the Orangemen of Ireland la reference to his transactions with thu latter body a multitude of reports were at that time circulated , imputing to him political designs and objects of personal ambitiou connected with the succession to the crown which could never have eutered into tbe mind of any man free from ungoverued passions or inordinate ambition . Of the existence of such designs' it may , perhaps , be said that no sufficient evidence has over been produced . But that a large proportion of the puWio belief in them , is attested not only by the Duke ' s many enemies , but by the conduct of the few friends who sought to palliate tbe equivocal proceedings of those clays .
In connexion with these Orange clubs we may State that a Parliamentary committee was appointed in 1335 to inquire into the character and constitution of their lodges in the united kingdom , in the colonies , and in the whole of our army , when it appeared that in Great Britain and Ireland alone they were nearly 300 , 000 men , forming a secret armed society over which the Duke was acknowledged to possess absolute power ; that they bad established lodges in the array , admitting the military without payment of fees ; and that these Orangemen had
considered and discussed the expediency of altering the succession to the throne , in consequence ot the King ' s ( William IV . 's ) presumed attachment tu principles oJ reform . The Duke denied any knowledge of the secret proceedings of the Orange societies , but on that occasion bis memory did not serve him well , and his character for veracity suffered , not in ihe estimation of his friends , perhaps , but with that large portion of the public who con * ceived that the committee of the House of Commons had succeeded in bringing tbe participation in those designs quite home to his Hoyal Highness . .
At the coronation of William IV . he was hooted , and , during tbe debates on the Reform Bill , he encountered several manifestations of popul .-ir dislike . In the year 1 S 33 , as well as fov some time before that period , the temper ' of the people was such that the Duke could hope for no impunity from that desire to depreciate men in high places which usually marks such epochs in a nation ' s history ; and it is worth y of observation that the attacks against him on this occasion , were not purely political . Some charges made in 1 S 10 were now revived . At the time of the suicide of Sellis , to which referenco has already been rande , a statement was circulated to the effect that his Royal Highness had murdered his valet ; that , in order to conceal this enormous crime , ho had invented the story of a pretendud auioido , preceded by an attempt at ' assassination
and that tbe wounds which the Dvke received bad been inflicted . by himself for the better concealment of his alleged offence . These accusations were negatived by tho evidence produced nfc the inquest ; still the force of that evidence , and even the lapse of three-and-twetity years , did not prevent a revival' of such scandal , and tbe Duke , therefore , thought it neoeasavy to institute a prosecution in the Court of King ' s Bench ,, where , though tl \ o whole question of truth or falsehood was gone into , the defendants vseve found guilty .. Upon that occasion tho Duke himself was examined as si witness , and exhibited , not only to the jury , but to tho whoie court , the marks of tho wounds which lie had received in the head , from the inspection of which it was inferred that they could never have been inflicted by his own hand .
Ilia career m this country was fortunately drawing to close , and from the commencement of the present reign ho ceased to reside in England ; for at the death of his brother , King William IV ., to whom he was next male heir , ho succeeded to tho sovereignty of his - paternal dominions . In llanover , aa in many other parts of the continent , females are excluded from succession ; therefore , Queen Victoria , though inheriting the British possessions of her ancestors , did not succeed to the crown of Hanover . On the commencement of the UOff l'Cign , Ilia Majesty , with his family and suite , embarked for thu continent , and in every point of view that event must be regarded as fortunate . Happily for the Duke , it gave him an
opportunity of exercising and displaying the butter qualities of his nature . Not unhappily for this country , since it removed from our soil the most unpopular prince of modem times , the remote possibility of whoso accession to the throne of England has evev been regarded by the people of this country with undisguised aversion . Hanover was thenceforward no nioro to England than Mecklenburgh or- Mennlngen , vrhile the DuKo of Cumberland , ceasing to reside in this country , anil becoming an independent prince , necessarily underwent that alteration of feelings and sentiments trhioh are consequent upon the change of condition from a subject to » Sovereign . In any account of the Duke of Cumberland ,
however brisf , a few words with regard to UlUiOVOr must bo thought necessary . When the continent of Europe was relieved from tbe despotism of Bonaparte , and there was no longer a German Empire , the Princo Regent induced the European powers to consent U \ at HwnoNrar should be treated on the footing of an independent kingdom , as in the case of 'Wurtemberg and Bavaria ; and that the Sovereign of that Sfaito should in future be styled King , not Elector . From that time forward this small German State—hardly the size of two English counties—uas called a " kingdom . " Soon after William IV . ascended the throne ho gave a new constitution to Hanover , upon what were considered Uburrl principles . Tho year 1830 , like 1 S-1 S , was
one of great political change , and , after the dethronement of Churles X ., it was thought hardly safe for any monarch in any part of Europe—excepting , perhaps , Austria and Russia—to resist the almost universal demand for popular institutions . As William IY . was not a . professed i \ . ry , it became so miiel * the easier for him to acceJo to the wishes of bis Hanoverian subjects , and , Accordingly , they wero invested with privileges wbich they hoped would , throughout a long ' futurity , secure liberty to themselves ami their descendant ' s . King Ernest , however , had not long occupied the throne when ho , and perhaps others , ' thought thev discovered that the Hanoverians had not yet been educated in tho exereiso of constitutional freedom . On the 20 th . of June , 1 S 37 , when the Duko of Cumbvrlaml became a King , tho revolution of the bmicnu - es 1 ..-.. I spent its fury ; ho was izi peaceful alliance with neighbouring States ; ho could
confidently reckon on the support of his li ; t ! e army ; ami on that also of many wealthy bui-gJicra and lnridowcera , who , having much to lose , instinctively adhered to the principles of absolutisn ; tho new Sovereign , therefore , though be encountered some resistance , eventually withdrew from his sublets the privileges bestowed upon them l > y William IV . He arrived in his capital , on tho 23 th of June 1837 , anil on tho 8 th of July announced by letters patent his intention of suiting aside tho constitution of Hanover . In tho month of November following ho dissolved the Assembly of Estsites and annulled the constitution , declaring that it nevcv hail been valid . Ilia principal subjects iiad sworn to maintain it , and they held tlwt ' their oath was a covenant with God—not a compact with men Among others , seven professors of the UniversitY of GBttingwi refused to pvoeeed with tiiC election of « representative while the constit . ntinn iraK
suspended ; they were all displaced and three of their number banished , lliots then ensued and military wero called out ; the other small States of Germany expressed their discontent at such proceedings , and at length the King , in 1840 , offered a constitution which the Assembly received with gitthturfo and joy . He was thenceforward comparatively at ease ; hut his domestic life did The political events of 1818 are too recent to issss ^ i rage with which the sovereign of that Hm ^?^

so in good time , with a gooi grace , and " of his own mere motion , " declaring that ao far he would go and no further . If his auhjects insisted on more , he was ready to quit the kingdom . Such was EvneBt Augu&tus , Ring of Hanover . If in earlv life he gave way to violent passions , and fall into ffrave errors—if he betrayed want of judgment and want of political foresight—he made sorae amends forsuch deficiencies by his administration of Hanoverian affairs , and of late years few continental monavoha have quitted this We . move
regretted . In bringing this narrative of his long life to a close , it should not be forgotten tliat tlioujrh he devoted , as waa right and fitting , his best energies to the service of his paternal dominions ,. yet he was not altogether unmindful of the most unhappy portion of the United Kingdom . During the famine in Ireland , he munificently sent £ 2 , 000 . is his subscription towards the relief fund : and with that brief vfetoenoe to one of those noble deeds which atone for aome of his faults , wo commit the cb . ar . ic t « r of the King of Hanover to thoj udgnient of posterity . . .

FRANCE . Tb <* - past has been an «« ttiUi \ and anxious « eek in Paris- First , there was an address by the President to fin ? or six hundred officers oi the regiments recently transferred to the garriSf-n of Paris . ' I / , ' said he , ' the suavity of cwhhos'&ucps should compel me to make an appeal to your devotedaess , I am sure that I should not be disappointed , because you know tha ' . 1 demand nothing that is not in accord with my right , recognised by the Constitution , with military honour , and with the interest of the country ; because I have placed at your head men who have my entire confidence , and who merit , yours ; Uaeause , V ever ihi- day of danger should arrivp , I will do as the gavcwumit which have preceded me Aace ( fone . I will not say to you . " March , and I will follow you ! ' but I will say to you , " I march , follow me V" His Ministers could not explain avay this mrivace to th « Assembly ; out the great Conservaiive majo '' ty seemed cowed by his attitude . When tin Electoral Bill carae on again fur discussion , it was rejected by a majority Of only seven-355 to 348 j and it is doubtful whether a scruHnv would not equalize the votes . The whole of * e Repablican party supported , but n . i ; iinn RiT «\ t ftimftapA thB bill .
The Republicans very wisely put forward only one speaker—Michel de Bourges ; and he proved himself worthy of the selection . An incident in fcis speech gives increasing juo' > aUiUty to the feeling that Napoleon had effected a formal alliance with the Left . M * Michel , speaking of the President , said to the Right , He was yours until yesterday . ' And / replied M . de Tinguy , ' he is yours to-day . ' 'Yes / said the orator of the Mountain , ' he t » mine . ' The leaders of the opposition are described as
having f-U themselves in imminent danger from a coup ( Peat . According to the Times' correspondent , v ' aea the result of the division was announced to M . Mole , he nearly fainted . M . Thiers wa » wen with bis face Vivid , and his frame trembling all over . Ha earnestly urged General Changarnier not tO Quit the Asylum oSereii to them all by 51 , BaZf , the Quaestor : and the General is said to have replied that be was not afraid to go home , as he bad four or five men armed a > his house * The
number that really accepted the refuge offered them by the Quaestor , some fixat twenty or twenty-eight , others a hundred . Whether t-bs panic bo exhibited was real or affected , it is difficult to say . In the agony of suspense it u stated , that entreaties were addressed to some of the Mountain , to protect the members of the Assembly , for the salie of the Assembly itself , against the wraih of a vindictive despot . The Montagnards are said to have laughed , aud gone their way . The proposition of ' -he Qnsstor to invest tne President of the Assembly with power to command
the troops , in case the external securvy ot the Assembly should be threatened , to which we alluded Jast week , it was adopted by tbe Initiative Committee by twenty-ihree to six . But the Minister of War , arguing that this was a decree of the Constiiwnt Assembly only , declared that he would order the article to be pulled down wherever posted ; and a number of military leaders revoked that they owed no obedience to the Legislature . When the project was placed before the Assembly , it wa 3 rejected by 408 against 300 . So the President remains in undisputed command of the armv .
Carlier and Faucher still reign in spirit in the Government of France . Victor Hugo had written some beautiful verses in praise of art , love , and liberty , to be sung at a fete of the Paris Musical Associations . Because the last verse contained an illusion to Italy , Hungary , and Poland , the perforjaance was forbidden ! On Wednesday a committee was appointed in the bureau , on the bill for maintaining tha state of siege in the Cher , Nievre , and Ardeche . Eleven of the committee chosen are in favour of the biil .
The only notable feature of the sitting of the Assembly on the same day was the refusal of the Left to take any part in the debate on the communal electoral law , in accordance with the protest of the five democratic members of the committee , that they held the communal electoral law as perfectly distinct from the political , and therefore abstained , because the majority wanted to make them one and the same . When the debate opened on the order of the day , the whole Mountain rose en masse and walked out of the house .
ITALY . The . Sybil bas reappeared in Rome ! and pronounced , with awful voice , the coming downfall of thfl Papal government . A young peasant girt of Sazza , near the Neapolitan frontier—undoubtedly a psychological phenomenon , alternating between a sort of magnetic sleep and ecstatic manifestations—Las obtained , by local miracles and oracles , the title of St . Catherine . She ha » taken , of late , to prophesying evil to the capita' j and sue *! a sensation has been produced that tbe Pope himself had her brought to the Vatican—immediately after which she was sent back to a convent . The interview was of course strictly private ; but the nature
of the girl 8 revelations was most probably similar to those with which she has already excited the terrors of numerous exalted applicants' —namely , predictions of imminent and sanguinary disturbances , in which , although not of long duration , many persons will fall -victims to popular fury . "Whatever may be the influence under which St . Catherine labours , it c ? n in no way be considered reassuring for the priests , who already look forward to the volcanic year 1852 with sufficisut apur * - her . sion and anxiety and it is assarted that great leViaious cBTeasomes are to be performed in the Colosseum ia the hope of averting the catastrophes so pos 5 iive ! y predicted .
Fio None bad an unpleasant fright a few . Cray * ago at tbe bcspual of the Benfratelli , whither he had gone to pay a visit . A person attached to the establishment had a petition to present to lii- > Holiness , and was anxiou 3 not to miss so favourable an opportunity of placing it in the Pope ' s own hauds . He lost no time , therefore , in running up stairs to get the document , and rushed down again with it post baste , not expecting to fiad the Pope still in the same room in which he bad left him .
The noise wh ; ch he made in scurrying do < rn stairs and hurstinz into the room alarmed the 'Papal cortege , aud made the noble gaards close ronnd the person of the sovereign , who was himself frightened at first , but soon got calm at the fsmiliar . si ft .

AUSTRIA . There tv 28 a regular panic on 'Change on lbs J 4 ; li inst . fmt of a different nature from those financial terrors which frequently manifest themselres ia Visnna as well as elsewhere . Tbe panic had its origin in tbe appearance on 'Change of tbe Kdoubtable Chevalier Weiss von Starkenfels , not in the dssractfr of bull or bear , or of any other animal accustomed lo transact business oa ^ Change ; but as Chief D ? the police , and for the purpose of personally watcliisg the j > rocgedhig 3 of tbe humble bickers aud
assembles to barter in valuables of all kinds , with his eyeglass in constant operation , closely reconnoitring tb-3 faces aad figures of all parlies . Luckily iflS pse . 'CiBg eyts detected no signs of guilty consciences , or , still worse , of ; hnse kinds of clothing , such as hass , &c , which are considered by him to be political demonstrations against tbe government . Having sufficiently scrutinised the assemblage , the wouid-be Fouche of Austria proceeded to the tables of the ' Seasale or sworn-brokers , and personally inspected their book , in order lo discover the names of any parties vrfco may recently have purchased foreign exchanges to any large amount .

crease the price of silver . No excuse has been listened to in any oue case . The individuals on the expulsioh list of the redoubtable Minister of Police have had to cross the frontier without delay , many of them torn from their families and homes without the means of subsistence elsewhere . In several cases the arrests were made in the cafes and other public jdaces ; the gendarmes comforting their prisoners , in repl y to their assertions of innocence , with the remark that if the police had anything particular against them they would have been tried by court-martial . Arnon £ the number of the expellad are seTeral influential merchants Bwon Ktiuss and his agents have the exchange to
themselves . Au eminent house , by telegraph , refused to effect the purchase of a considerabla amount of foreign exchanges on commission / or a distant par y , and even , offered to pay their customers the d fference between the price at Vienna and at ihe spot from whence the order was issued . Not a merchant or banker can venture under these circumstances to transact business on 'Change , Not . withstanding , however , the influential capitalists and bankers of the city submit without a murmur . The dread of a trial by court-mariial , and of a violent death , or imprisonment for life , is too great . Tfcey submit to be trodden underfoot , with the same readiness that tbe Turk accepts the bastinado .
This same wise and humane government has virtually closed tbe harbours of the stormy Adriatic against English and other foreign snips , by the following decree—stress of weather make no exception : — 1 . There shall not be admitted , at any one time , within gunshot of the harbour batteries , more than one large or two small sailing vessels of the same flag , except in case of a previous sanction of the Austrian government . 2 . Each ship or steamer of war shall proceed and anchor in such placa only as shall he pointed out by the authorities . 3 . If the armament of such ship allow of it , such ship should forthwith salate the Austrian flag ,
4 . On the arrival ot a B \ up vi war of a foreign fla ? , ber commander must acquaint the governor of the port of the cause of bis vioit and intended length of stay , which he is not to prolong without leave . 5 . Foreign men of war will not be allowed to fire morning or evening guns in the harbour . Other parts of the Austrian dominions are devastated by flood and tempest . The nccounta of the inundations caused by the overflowing of the rivert ,
in consequence of the bursting of a water-spout in Carintbia , are quite distressing . Many villcges are quite destroyed ; churches and hospitals were broken down by the fury of the water , and were speedily reduced to a mass of ruins . Many corpses have been found in tbe Tyrol ; whole districts have been swept away ; ihe telegraphic lines have been destroyed , partly by the water and partly by the / all of immense masses of snow . The mails have been stoppsd from nearly al ! parts of the country .
Very considerable indignation has been excited by the rudeness of the Emperor on a late visit to the Burg theatre , The audience applauded most loyally on his appearance ; the Emperor contented himself with a short and ungracious nod , sat down in his fauteuil , and . all the nudges of his archducal mother , vjuo wishes to see her son popular , could not induce him to thank his people in a more gracious manner .
Later accounts , dated the 15 th inst ., slate that the numerous expulsions of Wednesday and Thursday were greatly exceeded on the two following days . A Belgian journal some weeks ago praised the monarchy-saving activity of the celebrated Chevalier "Weiss , and boasted that be had expelled 20 , 000 or 30 , 000 individuals from Vienna within a month or two after the city was occupied ny the Imperial troops . This we believe to be a fact .
His doings of the last three days have exceeded everything that an English mind can compass in ( he shape of police interference , not merely with resident foreigners , but with subjects of the empire and citizens ot the metropolis . His expulsions have proceeded for three or four days at the rate of a hundred or one hundred and fi'ty a day . Every five minutes of day-light during that period vtit > nessed some one or two well-dresswi iuflwitiuals led into the Studthauptmannscbafl in the custody of gendarmes , their exit after a short stay with passports , vised for the frontiers . The accusation againat tbe individuals so treated was on the two first days , the mere suspicion of having improperly
trafficked on 'Cuange ; on the two next days the accusation of improper dealings in money has been extended to dealings in grain , and corn speculators , whether bonafide purchasers or forestalled , have been treated with equal tyrannical absurdity . On the 14 ih , however , lhe kind attention o ! the police was chiefly directed to the Polish Jews , who , in their ionz beards and greasy kaftans , we . re treated with much less ceremony iban the cloth-coated gentry of the money market . The cafe in which they are accustomed to transact business was surrounded by gendarmes , ami dozens at a time were hurried off to the next frontier . The officers employed ou the occasion replied , to every inquiry , that they were ac'ing under aulbority , and refused to permit au apiiealto head-ouarters . Fromtheil
method of proceeding , 5 t is evident that the police authorities , with Chevalier Weiss at their head , have no distinct charges ajainat their victims , or else the latter would speedily have been delivered over to the tender mercies of the courts-martiai . Can anything be more absurb or wicked than this despotic interference with the liberty of the subject and the natural regulation of tbe money and grain markets ? The consequence to the latter is , that there is an absence of dealers , an insufficient supply , and that tbe millers and liakecs COJtt " plain that thej will be obliged to go or send into Hungary and Poland , to purchase the grain and meal they require . Of course they will have to pay more for it there than they would in Vienna , especially as the enormous purchases making by government have become known throughout the
empire . Several of tbe most respectable merchants and bankers have represented to the ministerial authorities tbe impropriety and evil consequences * of the eudden police expulsion of many men of business connected with most important commercial transactions . ' This and similar representations are in vain . Government will listen to nothing .
PRUSSIA . The Prussian government intends to increase the severity of the laws against the press , by reviving theoi / 3 stamp duties . The police of Breslau have forbidden the people to applaud patriotic songs and representations at the theatre , and hold the whole audience responsible . The 'Yoss Gazette' of Berlin states , on what rerepresents to be goud authority , that the Prussian zovernmeat intends before the end of the year to negotiate for the loan of 21 , 000 , 000 thaiers , authorised by the Chambers . It adds that Messrs . Rothschild are charged to make the necessary arrangements in England .
ihe municipal authorities of Breslaw have issued a notification , in / orajiug tbe public that loyal airs , when played at the theatre , are received with marks of disapprobation by many of the spectators , whilst any air or word admitting of a revolutionary interpretation is loadly applauded ; nli persons who shall henceforth disturb the performance will be immediately expelled by li ; e police , or arrested , if necessary . HANOVER . The explanation demanded fro m Hanover by the
Diet , touching the appeal of the Kilterschaft against the ' new organisation / has been sent in . It has not yet been publish ? d , hut all accounts agree in stating that it contains the most decided refusal on the part of the Hanoverian government to actnowledge the competency of the Bund to interfere at all m the question . This proceeding had the sanction of the King , whilst be was abl « to give any attention to public affairs . This act , therefore , may be considered as the last political act of his life .
UNITED STATES . By the royal mail steam 6 hip Niagara WC have advices to the 5 th icst . The steamer Cherokee brought a freight of two millions and a half of gold dust from California to New York . It is said that it is now established beyond a doubt , that the yield of gold is becoming larger than ever , that new localities of immense value have recently been discovered , and that as yet we have known but little of the mineral wealth of the country . The democratic ticket has prevailed by a large majority , and the vigilance cammitlee has relinquished its operations . It is said that most of the foreign robbers and convicts bare departed for Australia .
