      France. Pasis.—The Committee Of Permanen...

      FRANCE . Pasis . —The committee of permanence held a sitting on Thursday which was numerously attended , and presided over by M . Dupin . Interpellations were addressed to the Minister of the Interior upon the organisation and proceedings of the Society of the Dix-Decembre , and a vehement debate took place on this subject . ' A letter of the 5 ib , from Naples , in the ' Evenexnent , ' announces disorders in Calabria , aud says that ihepott of Cotrone was being bombarded by a frigate of war .

      Thr Constitution . —In tbe ' Peuple " of Friday M . Prondhon falls foul of M . Girardin for his readiness to sacrifice the constitution . He says — - I know the constitution of 1848 is but a rag , but that rag covers the na kedness of France , and you would have the country barter it for the promise of a hat . ' . , . ' At present it is impossible to present a complete account of the votes of the councils general on the subject of revising the constitution . Out of eightyfive departments ( that of . the Seine meets at a latter period , ) sixty-four have deliberated on the revision of the constitution ; Bnt all the councils in which the question has been brought forward have not decided in favour of the revision .

      • The 'Caurrierde l' Isere' publishes the following telegraphic despatch from General Castellane , at Lyons , to the Prefect of the IsBte : ' Order is re-established in the canton of Loriol . The disarming directed with intelligence and firmness by Chef-de Batatiion Olivier , of the 32 nd regiment of the line , is readily effected . The women themselves bring the arms to the Mairie . Some revelations have been obtained . A part of the guilty men have taken refuge in the department of the Ardeche . The northern cantons of the Drome and the communes adjoining the department of the Vaucluse are now tranquil . '

      Haykau and his AnvocATES . —The ' Presse ' says , in allusion to the glorification of Haynau in certain organs of the English press which has followed the martrydom of that hero among the vats of Messrs . Barclay and Perkins : — ' If this demonstration' was regrettable , it must be granted that it has been justified by the scandalous glorificaiion which braves this justice of opinion . Whatever may D 3 done er said , if it is a wrong to have struck the butcher of Batthyany , it is a crime to glorify riim . '

      M . Leon Faccher has arrived in Pans . At a dinner , given in his honour on the ldih inst by the Prefect of Limoges , M . r * aucher replied to a toast proposing his own health by an eulogy of the President and his government , which is significant as a conspicuous instance of an Orleanist embracing Bonapartism . The Refugees kt Exglaxd . —li is reported that General L-hitte had addressed a note to the English government on the subject of French refugees , over whose machinations he demands a strict surveillance on the part of the British authorities . Serious damage has been occasioned in Perpignan by an inundation . The bridge over the river Basse has been swept away . " _ Two men have been arrested at Perigueux on a charge of incendiarism .

      A journeyman tanner has been arrested at Barsur-Aube on a charge of having conspired to assassinate the President of the Republic at Slrasourg . The director of the / Siecle , was sentenced by the Paris Assize Court on Saturday to three months ' imprisonment and 2 , 0 U 0 f . fine for an article tending to excite hatred and contempt of the Government . Satuxiday . —The main object of attention in the political world to day is a circular of the legitimist party , of which a vast number of copies have been struck off and sent for distribution into the departments , by the care of M . Barthelemy , secretary of the club of the Rue Monthabsr , of

      which M . Berryer is the president . Tbis document may be considered under an indirect form , as the official manifesto of Wiesbaden , from which watering place it is dated on the 30 th of August . After dwelling upon the numerous adhesions which the prince received at Wiesbaden , and upon the importance of this voyage in a political sense , the manifesto declares that the Count of Chambord repudiates absolutely the system of an appeal to the people , as implying the negative of the great national pr inciple of hereditary monarchy . It repeats , as the main maxim by which the party is to be

      guided , the words of the farewell speech of the prince , —* Inflexibility as to principles , conciliation as to persons . ' Finally , after declaring that the policy of the party is not to be considered as represented by any individual or organ of the press , it names as the personages enjoying the confidence of the Count of Chambord the following persons : the Duke of Levis , General St . Priest , M . Berryer , the Marquis dePastoret , and the Duke of Cars . It is to be observed that M . Berber , of plebian extraction , occupies only the third place in this list of the legitimate ministry in petto .

      M . de Larochejacquelin has addressed a letter to the leading legitimist papers , insisting upon the necessity of recognising the national will as the base of all sovereignty , and showing that this doctrine is not new , but has always been the rule in France . Sunday . —The gerant of the ' Siecle' was yesterday feund euilty of a libel on the President of the Hepubtic , and condemned to three months' imprisonment and a fine of 2 , 000 fr . The libel consisted in stating that the vegetables from the gardens of St . Cloud were supplied to the President for the use of the Elysee without being paid for .

      It is asserted that the Prefect of Police has determined to interdict every ascension in a balloon which is not intended for a scientific object , and , consequently , all such dangerous ascensions as are given as a spectacle . Moxday . —The press is occupied to day with judging the Wiesbaden manifesto and the reply of M . Larochejacquelin . The ' Union' is anxious to explain away the official character of the first document , ishich it afi-cis to regard simply as a confidential communication by M . de Barthelemy to the legitimist electoral committees touching the Count of Chambord ' s sentiments on the subject of an appeal to the people . The ' Assemblee Nationale , '

      organ of the fusionists , is extremely reluctant to admit the official character of the circular , which , if recognised , would operate in cooling the tendencies of that paper in favour of legitimacy . Sure Orleanist paper , like the Dabats , ' instead of helping the partisans of the elder branch to hide the unlucky tear in tlseir policy which has been revealed by this blundering publication , charitably insert their fingers to make it larger , and insinuate with contemptuous pity the incorrigibility of the old periwig school of gentleraen-usher statesmen who wait upon the princes of the elder house , and the impossibility of a restoration in that sense . The ministerial press is silent . The chief assailant of the manifesto is of course the ' Gazette de Prance , ' which has advocated the appel au peuple , so strongly condemned bv the Count of Chambord ' s

      exponent , M . de Barthelemy . The editor of that paper , M . de Lourdoueix , has started for Frohsdorf to gauge the amount of official countenance given to the circular at head quarters . On the whole it is manifest that ia the great body of legitimists this untoward publication ha s caused great disgust and vexation , particularly as regards the revelation of the names destined to figure in the legitimist cabinet , if the cause should ever triumph . M . de Barthelemy , whose name is attached to the circular , has been five years secretary of the electoral committee of the Right . H . nce the evasion which would pass off the whole affair as an electoral instruction . The name of De Barthelemy has produced much confusion . It turns out that the signer of the circular is the secretary of M . de St . Priest .

      Tuesday . —The ' Monitear du Soir' contains an article , which is considered as a sort of manifesto of the Elysee . The following passage is the most important of this document : — ' li the National Assembly should refuse to proceed to the immediate revision of the constitution , Louis Napolacn would not hesitate to make an appeal to the entire people , from whom he received his mandate . ' All the newspapers appsar this morning with signatures attached to the leading articles . In order to avoid the frequent obtrusion of the same name on the attention of the reader , after the first signature , the initials alona are appended to succeeding articles by the same writer .

      M . Hocbgesaat , the director of one of the numerous joint stock companies for California , called the CaHforaienne , has just been arrested on a charge of breach of trust as regards the shareholders . ^ A shock of an earthquake was felt at Algiers on the night of tbe 10 th inst . It lasted fifteen seconds . This makes " the sixth shock which has occurred within sixteeh'dayf . The National Guard of St . Pierre , in the depart-

Three Socialists ( one of them a Bavarian refugee ) were arrested on Saturday last at Valencei in the department of the Drome , by the Commissary of Police of that town , on the charge of attempting to seduce the army .

      The strike of the journeymen carpenters at Toulouse still continues . They have made out a tariff of wages , to which the masters cannot submit . Twenty' members of a new secret society , called LesMutuellists , were tried by court-martial at Lyons on Saturday last . After a trial of four days the accused were acquitted . ' ' A person who had been employed at the Tuilleries after the revolution of February was convicted a few days ago by the tribunal of Dijon ( Basses Alpes ) for stealing articles of ' much value froth the Palace . lie was sentenced to six months ' imprisonment . . A private of the 4 th . Regiment of the Line was sentenced by court-martial iu Paris on Tuesday to six months' imprisonment , for having cried « Vive le Rouge !'

      The ' Constitutionnel' says that the Governments of Austria , Prussia , Bavaria , and Saxony have concluded a convention for the establishment of electric telegraphs . They have further agreed upen a general tariff , by which the price is reduced fifty per cent .

      ITALY AND THE PAPAL STATES . ROME , Sept . 11 . —Two edicts have just been promulgated by the Secretary of State , Cardinal Antonelli . The first contains the announcement of the institution of the council of State , in conformity with the first articles of the Pope's motupropria of . Sept . 12 , 1849 , and settles the number of . persons who are to compose that body , with their functions and privileges . The second edict contains'the new regulations for the ministry , in order , as is set forth in the preamble , that the operations of the ministers may be in harmony with the laws about to be . promulgated in virtue of the motu propria .

      Sept . 12 . —The promulgation of the two edicts of Cardinal Antonelli has produced great irritation . They have been everywhere torn down , trampled and covered with dirt . The paper money has fallen three per cent , in consequence . M . Pinelli is still at Rome , awaiting instructions from his government . Cardinal Antonelli has addressed a note to M . de Spinola , Sardinian charge d'affaires at Rome , on the subject of Consignor Franzoni's imprisonment . The assassin of Count Rossi has been at length arrested .

      British diplomacy in Italy has experienced a severe loss by the recent death of our minister ¦ at Florence . It had been , hoped that Sir George Hamilton ' s health , long in a precarious , state bad been gradually improving during the course of last year , but on the night of the 3 rd inst ., whilst undressing to goto bed , a blood-vessel broke in his lungs , and he vomited blood to an alarming extent . His brother , Mr . Charles Hamilton , was immediately at his bed-side , and the medical aid of Professor Zanetti and Dr . Harding was promptly procured , bnt , in spite of their efforts , Sir George expired at-two in the morning of the 4 th , in the arms of his brother's son-in-law , Count de R . He was interred , according to his express wish , in thb English-cemetery at Florence .

      Another letter horn . Rome , of September 14 tb , says : — 'Signer Diamila , formerly employed in the Vatican library , was condemned on the , 12 th , to the gallies for twenty years , for having stolen a large quantity of precious medals from the collection under bis superintendence . These robberies ,- perpetrated more than two years ago , were detected by the commission appointed by General Oudinot , immediately on his entrance into Rome , to examine the condition of public monuments , and ascertain the damages inflicted upon the works of art and antiquities of the Capital of the Christian world . Diamila belongs to a highly respectable family . '

      Sep . 15 . —M . Pinelli has obtained , by the intercession of M . de Rayneval , a second interview with his Holiness . He is said to have proposed on the part of his government the following singular arrangement of the differences with respect to the archbishop's imprisonment : —The Kings of Piedmont have enjoyed from time , immemorial the privilege of presenting a cardinal for . nomination at the consistories held for electing members to the sacred college . Victor Emannuel is to propose at the consistory of theJJlst Monsignor Franfconi , provided his Holiness recall that prelate from the Archbishopric of Turin . This , at least , is the report credited here . An increase of public taxes will soon be ordered by the government . Every individual exercising liberal arts , shopkeepers , & c ., will have to paysomuch per annum . The duty on salt will also be augmented .

      The result of the communal elections of Florence was known there on the 14 th . The list proposed by the Opposition journals has won the day ; but the most important feature of the election lies in the circumstance that Signer Cosims' Viuni , late President of the Legislative Assembly of Tuscany , is at the head of the list , with 1 , 206 votes out of 1 , 383 . The Opposition journals look upon this fact in the light of a protest on the part of the people of Florence in favour of the existence of the Constitution , which , according to general belief , was seriously menaced .

      A letter from Bologna of the 16 th inst , announces that , in consequence of an order from Rome , the Lombardo-Ven ^ tian journals and the ' Corriere Italiano' of Vienna are no longer permitted to enter the Papal territory . Numerous acts of violence and oppression are daily perpetrated ; anda melancholy catalogue of sufferers and prisoners testifies the zeal of the police agents and their superiors . - A very . hard case is that of Colonel Pichi , who commanded the regiment ' Unione' during the war , and who would not leave Rome until he had given up the military chest in his possession , and shown that his accounts were in perfect order , which he" did satisfactory v , handing

      over to the competent authorities the regimental funds , consisting . of 24 , 000 dollars . ' His brother , who made interest for him to be allowed to stay at Rome , was assured that he should not be molested , but , notwithstanding this promise from a high quarter , the colonel , who was' so unwell ; as to bo unable to fly , was lately arrested as tho commander of a Republican Corps , taken to . the Castle of St . Angelo , and condemned to twenty years of the gallies . A literary man of great merit , Signov Gigli , well known in Italy as the author of the * Artigianelle , ' ' Biblioteca delle famiglie , ' and other useful popular works , has" been placed in solitary confinement for no other crime than that of having

      kept his uncle , Colonel Barba , concealed in his house , at any rate according to the suspicions of the police , who , having made an unsuccessful nocturnal search on the premises for the colonel , declared that he must have been' warned in time , and took off the nephew instead as a hostage . A more serious offence is that of a respectable family residing on the Piazza di Sant Eustachio , all the members of which , ' male and female , ; have just been dragged off to prison on account of a Protestant ' bible having ' been found in the house . The council of censure continues its odious labours , and fresh

      enemies are continually being raised iip against the government by the destitutionand expulsion of employes in the'finance , lottery , and salt and tbbbacco departments . -.-- - .. jfow that it is dangerous to complain , arid impossible to write secret satire alone serve as a safety valve to carry off the ' superfluous bile of the Romans . The last sally of Pasquinb ; which I have remarked posted up on the ; walls in manuscript , is as follows , oh the principle of Zadig ' s poetical effusion . When read straight' through the lines' are treasonable ; when read down , each division ' by itself , they are in the spirit of . ho most exalted papalino loyalty : — ....- - ¦ ••

      'Death to PioXino lUazzrai For ever The Republic is The mildest government The most infamous government Is that of the priests Down with ' ¦ - Priestly power The dominion of the people -For ever . ' Reading straight down we find ' Death to Mazzini , ' <_ c , but reading through , both divisions we have 'Death to Pio Nino , Mazzini for . ever , ' and so on . , ; The Italians rejoice in the humiliation with which Marshal Haynau met in London , and , mindful of the atrocious horrors committed at Brescia , by his sanguinary orders , regret that the brewers did not inflict still severer punishment upon him .

      SARDINIA . The « Croce di Savoia' of the 14 th inst . announces that the Archbishop of Cagliari had actually issued a decree of excommunication' against the authorities of that town , who had adopted coercive measures to force him to give in a return of the revenues Of his diocese . .-According to the « Gazette du People , ' , the lower clergy of Cagliari had secretly excited the population to resist the orders of the government , particularly those re-

The papers of Sardinia of the 14 th announce that all the prelates in that island , with the exception of the Bishop of Cagliari , were ready to submit to the orders of the government . The Archbishop has been arrested , and his trial will follow the same regular course followed for that of Franzoni , the Archbishop . of Turin . i ., ;} , NAPLES Sept . 14 .- —Police Persecutions . —

      Every day continues to add to , the number of victims who fofthelast , ten mouths haye ' been dragged , from their homes by the midnight gendarmes and sbirrithrown into prison , and many up to the present day are ignorant of their crimes . V Advices from Turin announce- than M . Pinelli , who had been sent on a special mission to the Pope } had not succeeded in his mission , and was on the eve of returning to the Sardinian capital .

      LOMBARDY . It was stated some days since , that , at the camp at Sonoma , a Croat regiment had fired on the staff , and that an officer had been killed . Subsequent details , said to be derived from authority , state , that this affair was still more grave , since a Hungarian regiment also took part in the affair , and several superior officers were killed or wounded . It is said that the camp has'been broken up ; that a Croat regiment has been sent beyond the Julian Alps , and ' that the Honved' incorporated in the Hungarian regiments have been committed to the fortress . Desertion is slso said to be making rapid advances in the Austrian ranks .

      AUSTRIA . Advices from Vienna , of the 16 th inst ., from a well-informed quarter , state that the Austrian government has forwarded , to London a despatch , to be laid before the English Secretary for Foreign Affairs , demanding redress for the recent outrage upon General Haynau . ' A decree of the Military Commander of Vienna , of the 18 th inst ., prohibits the circulation of . the ' Cologne Gazette' in Vienna , Hungary , and all parts and provinces of the Austrian , empire in which the

      state of siege has been proclaimed . The military commander of Prague has announced that every person in whose , possession a copy of the prohibited newspaper shall be found , shall be tried by courtmartial , and punished according to the provisions of military law . It is said that the Austrian government intends to exclude in a like manner almost all the better class ' of German . newspapers . The ' Deutsche Zeitung , ' the ' Constitutionelle Zeituhg , ' and the ' Weser Zeitung , ' . are marked for immediate prohibition . ••'• -- ' -

      PRUSSIA . Berlin , Sept . 17 . —The ' SGaats-Anzeiger' of this' day contains the proclamation of the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Scuwerin , by which , in pursuance of the judgment of the court of arbitratibn ' > the constitution is abolished . Looking at the names of the members of that tribunal , nothing was to be expected . The whole proceeding is regarded as a contemptible fraud . . For the sake of a dozen or two of aristocrats in Mecklenburg the world is to stand still ; and the people are to be condemned to ah eternity of feudal institutions ; ' ¦ ¦ ¦

      Sep 19 . —The Prussian troops which stood near Wetzlar are now drawn ,. up on the outside of the Hessian frontier , so that Prussia occupies the great military road , which secures the freedom of her movement through the state in every direction , a power ' which , also secured to her by treaties , she would exercise in case of intervention in Hesse by any ether government . " ' Matiteuffel , who is journeying through the provinces , is received everywhere , with distinguishing marks of popularity . ' He is , regarded as the most liberal member of the cabinet , indeed , as the only one who exerts himself to uphold the constitutional principle in government .

      Sep . 21 . —No change has taken place in the state of affairs at 'Cassel . " Thepeace has hot been interrupted for a single moment , and there has been no popular demonstration of any kind tending to authorise compulsory measures ) native or foreign .

      _ ¦;¦ : HESSE-CASSEL : A ministerial ordinance was published on the , 19 th removing the government to Wilhelmsbad , the court and authorities of which are supposed to be favourable to the government .. ' All persons are warned against resistance to authority , and called upon to obey the ' Prince ' s command . ' The authorities remaining at Cassel having resolved to resist their activity to the administrative measures immediately necessary , the denouement of the present crisis is to be looked for from Frankfort , the present residence of the Elector . ,

      . A letter of the 17 ih from that city , says ;— ' It appears that the Elector is driven to his last wits to find a way out of the present difficulty . Yesterday his eventual abdication was discussed as the only apparent way of escape from imminent danger . The Elector is of . this opinion , but declares that he can only abdicate in favour of the Grand Diike of Hesse-Darmstadt . In this inclination he is supported by his Austrian and Bavarian advisers . ' . Another Frankfort letter , of the same date , says — ' Yesterday evening the Elector set off for Hanau with two loaded travelling-carriages and servants .

      He would not set out till dark , in order to be safe . He felt himself insecure even here ; his adjutant , Lieutenant-Colonel Kellenborn , applied yesterday to the senate for a guard . This morning the Elector received Marshal Schirnding , Colonel Ruff , and Major Czwikowski , a circumstance -which has set the public upon thinking of Bavarian and Austrian intervention . It is expected that the electoral army will be compelled to disband , as there is no money in the military chest ; the officers' have received no pay for September , and the privates cannot be paid after the 15 th . '

      A letter from Cassel , dated September 16 th , says 'We learn that the King of Hanover has decidedly declined to interfere in this state . A guard of twenty-two now stands before the palace just as when the Elector is present : General Bauer maintains two sentinels before ' his door , as if to show that he still considerslhimself Comraander-inrChief . It is , however , well known that he is firmly resolved not . to go to Bockenheim . The permanent committee , of the parliament has . resolved to : . complete the evidence necessary : to convict General Baueri the

      indictment against whom was dismissed by the general auditorial yesterday / It is ' stated-that before setting out for Hanover the Elector and Hasseiipflug exchanged high words i the former was fain to g ive way , after Hassenpflug had lexclaimed , ! Very well ; then letiyour Royal Highness pay me , and I will go . ' In front of the Leipsig-gate , through .. which \ the Elector pas = ed to go to : Hanover , stands a handpost , with the inscription « T 6 Muenden . ' ; Some wag has written underneath , 'To Bockenheim , ' in commemoration of the Prince ' s circuitous route . '

      : Sep . 20 . —All is perfectly quiet . The municipal election ' s are just over . The successful candidates are constitutionalists to a man . vVe have correspondence from Cassel of the 20 th . A letter , dated the 19 ih , says : — . l ' The order removing the seat of government has at length appeared , countersigned by the eternal three , who will , it seems , continue their riaVdy violence n ' ntil the arm of justice reach them ; What is more important ,.- the directors , of ' this arrondissernent . as well as those of-that of Hanau , have ordained the election of a new Chamber in the room of that dissolved . ' . ' . A battalion of . the guards left Cassel this morning for Hanau . The Frankfort arid Hanau railway stationsi-haye been guarded by military for the last two days . : !

      The result of the municipal elections has been published to-day , and is in the highest degree iui portanf . The Constitutional party has gained a signal victory •; of forty-ei ght members . ; " A letter from Fulda , of the 19 th , says : — ' The council and senate of this city have resolved to indict Mackenrodt , the burgerraeister , for publishing the ordinance imposing tho stale of siege , and for issuing , at the instigation of Gen . Schirmer ; ' an order suppressing the local journal . ' A letter from Hanau , of tho 19 th , states that 'Hassenpflug , Haynau , and Baumbach have taken up their quarters in the Elector ' s palace , in the neighbouring suburb of Wilhelmsbad . Their dwelling is guarded by 100 soldiers . The ministerial bureaux are to be established in the old tiwnhouse . '

      On the 20 th inst ., when Lord Cowley , the British Plenipotentiary , was entering Frankfort , on liis re . turn from Wilhelmsbad , it so happened that he ' was accompanied by a Hessian officer on horseback , who rode at the side of his Lordship ' s carriage Thi , circumstance caused him to be mistaken for the Elector , and a crowd of people , surroundZ his carnage , addressed his Lordshi p with the mo ? tin

A Frankfort letter , of the 21 st , says : — ' Yesterday afternoon the Elector ventured to show ^ himself here , and spent . ' several hours with the Austrian Amdiet

      bassador and other members of 'the Austrian . , after which he returned to Wilhelmsbad . We are all astonished by a report , which derives a certain degree of authenticity from its origin , that negotiations are ihprogress for a joint intervention of Prussia and Austria in Hesse .

' , , The report : refused the financial measures of the government , denounces a number of abuses , and dafends the right of the Chambers respecting supplies , a right which the government had attempted'to uiwkr-estim ' ate . ' -The committee advise the Chamber to decline the'government proposition ' ^ an d not to renew the permissipn to collect more taxes in the present relations of the Parliament and ministry . The committee re ' commend the Chamber to declare that certain provisions of the constitution have been violated by the acts , ct the government ,-and to present a solemn protest against those acts , in the name of the nation ;

      Fbankfort , Sep . 24 . — The pretended diet has declared the refusal of taxes in Hesse-Cassel an offence calling for the intervention of the federal power , summonses . the electoral government 'to re-Store the legal situation , and reserves the right of adopting further measures , , In case of , opposition to ' the collection of taxes under the new decrees 10 ; 000 Hanoverian ; and Wurtemburg'troops' are to march into the electorate . ; The chiefs ' of all the government departments have protested against the late ordinance calling upon -them to execute the former decrees .

When we had got about a mile from the shore we saw ., ' a ' .. . second ; Danish Steamer , the Geyser , pursuing us . We prepared for action , aud within about half an hour the Geyser was within range of our . guns . The fight began about eleven o ' clock . Our gun-boat No . 4 greeted the steamer with a bomb .- The answer was ' a broadside , not one ball of which did us the least damage . ' The six first of bur bombs fell into the stealer , arid after the fifth it was plainly perceivable that the

      Geyser was on fire . The steamer now made signs of a disposition to retire ; this , however , we prevented , by placing ourselves in the line she would have to pass for that puraose . Her crew were thus compelled'to defend themselves as best they might , They succeeded in extinguishing the ' fire -on board . arid repeated their' broadside ^ A boinb from" the steamer now struckthe'bbat'No . 4 , 'knocked down several of " the crew , and fell behind the guns without bursting . The fight was kept up for about ore hour and a half ; at its termination the steamer was entirely riddled , the engine disabled , and no one was to be seen on deck . Just as we thought the steamer was in our power and our men were going out to take possession of her , we saw the six gun-boats advancing ^ ' towed by a steamer , and

      with'thcrd a corvette . We now thought it time to retire before this greatly superior force , and had to see the Geyser taken off by another steamer . Our loss was made up of four killed and seven wounded . Our men fought bravely , and a hearty hurrah went up whenever a shot from our boats was seen to take effect .. One of our crew , a native of Altona , had both legs shot off ; notwithstanding this misfortune , lie-struck up the national song , ' Schleswig-Holstein , sea-surrounded , ' -and continued singing it until a few minuteshefore ho died . His last words were , ' Oh , my poor mother . ' Our four deceased comrades-were burled this afternoon , when officers and men paid the last honours to their valour ..-,- The * injury sustained by our boats is unimportant , and may be repaired in about two days .

      PORTUGAL . The only news worthy of notice is that Saldanha has bjen within the last few days dismissed from every office save that of commander of the forces ; and a rumour was in circulation on the morning of the departure of the mail from Lisbon , that he had taken refuge ; in thehoiiseof the British minister . Not a word'had been mentioned in Cadiz relative to the Iberia having bseh fired into ; Alt know the unceremonious ^ way ia which the Duke de Saldaiiha has been deprived of all his places and emoluments for opposing the administration of the Count de Thomar . Most serious rumours have been efloat for some days ; one was that the duke

      would bead a deputation to the Queen oh'the occasion of the celebration of the birthday of the prince royal , insisting u ' pbn the removal of . the Comit . de Tliomar ' from office ; and that , in tlie event of refusal , a rising was iui mediately to takoplace , depose the Queeu , proclaini ; the Empress regent , and a marriage would ultimately fake place between the Queen ' s eldest son and the Empress ' s daughter ; thereby cutting the thread of "' all the Count de Thomar ' s projected notions of the union of the two countries by a marriage with' Mont ' perisier ' s daughter . The court was ajarmed , and at a council the . arrest of Saldanha was ; debated j but nothing has been done as . yet in the matter .

      The troops have for some time past been ready in their quarters for . ; any emergency ; and it is said' . the King sent for Don Carlos de Mascarenhas , the commandant of the municiparguard , and asked him i < he . could depehd : upon them ; Don Carlos told him the guard could be depended on as far as the peace df the city was concerned : but if the Duke de Si ! - dsnha headed any : movement , hecould not say what would be . theiconduct of the guard . All these things are asserted with ' confidence . -
