      Turkey A8d Russia. The Hungarian Refugee...

      TURKEY A 8 D RUSSIA . THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES . The Paris « Consritutionnel' of the 5 th contained ths following : — ' The governments of France and England are quite agreed in their approval ofthe conduct of their Aubassadors at Constantinople . "We are assured that they h 2 ve sent to St . Petersburg a collective note , a _* id tp . at they have adjourned their answer to the questions oi fhe _Amhassadors as to the case , which is by no means probable , of a violent rupture between Turkey and Russia , until after the answer of the Russian government to the representations addressed to it in favour of the _indepsndeiice of the Ottoman Porte . ' Oa the same subject the Presse' says : —

      4 On the evening of the 3 rd M . de _Tocqueville received from Lord Normanby a communication at the intentions of the English government with regard to the refusal of Turkey to give up the Hungarian refugees . The Minister for Foreign Affairs replied that the French Cabinet would . follow the same line of policy as that adopted by England in the affair . One of the sis questions submitted by the Divan to Sir Stratford Canning and to General Aunick—viz .. what assistance the Porte would

      obtain irom France and England in case of a rupture , was left unanswered , the two ambassadors not conceiving that they could reply without receiving fresh _infractions from their respective governments . Befor *; sending those _instructignii the English Cabinet wished lo act direct on that of St . Petersburg . A nmc , couched , it is said , in very energetic terms , ¦ was despatched by _Lttrd Palmerston to M . de _Kcsselrode . A similar note is to he Eent by M . de Tccquerille . '

      position refugees . Vibbis , Sep . 25 . —The leaders of the Hungarian insurrection are still here ; Kossuth , _Bathyani-Wesjaros , Dembinski , Bem , Guyon , Zsmoyksi , and Perczel , with abont 4 , 590 officers and soldiers , inelnsivo of the Polish and Italian legions , are _nomi--QEiir in the fortress , the city , and the adjacent _ca _*** p _, a 3 the Sultan's guests , but in reality prisoners , _*»?* _:-se fate is being constantly canvassed in the diet , and threatened by the diplomatic notes which come to disturb the equanimity of the divan iu disquieting succession . The refugees , _thon-jh required to surrender np their arms , were received with those promises of magnificent hospitality in wbich , since _todays of CharlesXfI ., it has been the pride of the Sultans to indulge , but of which the munificent intention is too frequently frustrated hy tee corruption of the servants of the Poit * .

      Kossuth would not set foot on Turkish ground till he had received the official assurance on his own behalf and that of his fellow-refugees tbat they were welcome guests , and should be allowed to proceed to any part of the world they might desire . This assurance was freely given , and the refugees were welcome guests , and should ba allowed to _proceed to any part of the world tbey might desire . This assurance was freely given , and the refugees were graciously received by Mehemet Pacha , of Widdin , who observed to them ' that they were row the _Padischa _' s visitors , and must take no further need of sublunary things , but feast , dance aad make merry , ' a peculiarly apt recommendation to people in their sitnatioa . In a very short period

      tit-- refugees were , however , brought to U _16 unplea sant conviction that they sere nothing more than ceremoniously guarded prisoners . The chiefs were lodged within the citadel , of which the gates are shut at sunset ; the officers -within the _Htclosme of tbe town wall , through which the guard prevents aU egress , except towards the camp , where lhe soldiers are provided for in tents , parked in . and gnarded fr- 'm the open country by a line of Turkish posts . AU applications to leave the town were turned a deaf ear to by the Pacha , whose prisoners soon Ioand cause for deep anxiety in the intelligence which reached them from Constantinople as to the _pertinacity of the demands \ msde by the Russian and Austrian cabinets for their extradition .

      At length came the startling intelligence from Stambaul , that a Russian general had arrived with an autograph letter from the Czar , demanding in the most peremptory terms the delivery of tbe refugee Poles , and advising that of the Hungarians to lhe cabinet of Austria . Notes were simultaneously presented by the _Russian and Austrian representatives , making the escape of a single refugee a casus belli , aud Mnting _, most insultingly , at the presence of a hundred thousand men (?) on the Turkish frontier . A cabinet council kad been held

      on these communications , and there ensued a turbulent debate , in the course ot which the effects of tbe cabel against Rechid Pacha and of the lavi-di expenditure of Russian bribes was painfully apparent . The majority of the council was in favour of the extradition , the majority of the ministry against it . Under these circumstances the ministry put to the opposition the hypothesis of the refugees embracing _Islamism _, when , of coarse , all were forced , however unwillingly , to admit that no true _Mahometans could give them up .

      The ministry hereupon despatched a reverend _"Mollab ta examine the refugees separately , and ex-X > D 3 e io them the state of the case , whilst timorous friends in Constantinople recommended thu adoption of the suggestion as the only mean ** of salvation . No words can express the consternation of thi- ! little community at this intelligence . After the first surprise was over , many of the Hungarians exclaimed . * Better the _Russians than the Austrians"better _Maboanedanism than the Ruisians ; ' and there appeared some prospect of the whole camp embracing Islamism . A council of the chiefs was immediately held at Kossuth's , where Bem at once declared ihat his life -was devoted to hostility U ,

      the Russians , and that he eagerly accepted the suggestion . I had almost forgotten to remark that the Mollah promised ai the sane time the maintenance of their rank and the liberal allowance custo . man- in ( he Turkish armies . Generals Kraettet and Steen came to the same resolution , and several personages were for temporising . "When Kossuth ' s turn came to speak , he briefly reminded his companions , in his impressive language , that now , in a strange land , were all _authoritative bonds were sundered , each one was at liberty to act according to his own views , but that , for his part , welcome if needs be , the axe ot gibbet , hut cnrs « 3 on the tongue that dares to make him so infamous a

      _propssition . Onr gallant countryman ; Guyon , fallowed , declaring tbat no human power should induce him to swallow even a bunch of grapes upon compulsion . General Dembinski , and Count Zamoyski , were equally determined . The example of their chiefs "as sc effective , that of about 200 soldiers and forty officers , -who had expressed their willingness to abjure Christimity , the soldiers , to a man , changed their intention , and there remain only three generals , and some twenty officers , fita in tbeir resolve . Bem took immediately a public step , and it 13 said assumes fhe name of Amurath , and becomes a three-tailed pasha with the Turks , who hare an exalted opinion of his military genius .

      All hopes are now turned towards Sir Stratford Canning , and towards England , under whose protection Kossuth has written formally to place his compatriots . ' From my youth upwards I have read and admired tbe English histon , and endeavoured to Mist in copying them in their conduct and institutions — surely Great Britain will nat _abandsn-us now' --said an old emigrant , who addressed me in the street . The Turks , I am sorry to say , have got hold of the story of the conduct of

      O'Ferrall fo the Italian refugees at Malta , cite it as a hind of precedent , and conclude from it that even England is becoming cowed by the despotic courts Tbe intelligence , I am sorry to say , has arrived , that the wife of General Guyon , an English _subjsct , and by birth a countess Spledi , and who bas scrupulously _abs'ained from all interference in politics , has been dragged into an Austrian prison together with her children and the mother and children cf Kossuth .

      Belgrade , Sept . 29 . —The intelligence arrived here last night , from Constantinople , that diplomatic relations are suspended between Austria , Russia , and the Porte . Tbe energetic remonstrance of Sir Str | tford Canning , who was afterwards supported hy General Aupick , in tbe matter of the extradition of the refugees , induced the Sublime Porte to reject the imperious demand-, of the Russian and Austrian cabinets . Sir Stratford , would indeed , have demanded his nassuart if they were given up .

      Nothing could have been more fatal than this _concession , which , if made , it mxy safely be predicted wonld have disservered Servio , and probably Bulgaria , from tbe Ottoman empire within six months . The progress of the Russians in Hungary bas given them au immense prestige , and the Christian populations are on the tip-toe of expectation to see -wbich will prevail—if Russian or if English influence , which they take for granted has heen _exercissd with regard to tbe surrender ofthe exiles . The Bosnian insurrection is uot yet put down . The Turks are said to hare lost fire guns , and some

      score of men , in a recent skirmish . I will send yon details by next . An impression is prevalent amongst the Turks that Russia is about to force a war upon th * m , and hey are eager to accept the challenge . _Latbr News . —We learn from Constantinople tbat , although the Porte persists in _refusing the extradition of the Hungarian and Polish refugees , it is still refused to remove any of them from Widdin , except in the case of some ' French and English subjects , reclaimed by tbeir respective ambassadors . The liberation of General Guyon and Messrs . Langworth and Macdonald , has heen demanded by Sir Statford Canning , and these gentlemen will be set free .

      A considerable number of Polish or Hungarian refugees had been conveyed from Constantinople , on board an American corvette and the French war steamer _L'Averne ; Greece was thought to be their destination . The Turkish provinces of the Danube , especially Servia , had for some time been infested by Russian agents , including a large number of priests , who were making every exertion to foment a rebellion of the Christian tribes against tbe Porte . Bosnia . —Intelligence was received at Belgrade on the 1 st of October , that the revolution in Bosnia was put down ; the disputes between the insurgents and the "Vezir have terminated in favour of the former , the porez or tax imposed upon the insurgents having been remitted , and their petitions granted .

      FRANCE . A letter from Toulon of the 3 d announces the arrangement of the differences between the Emperor of Morocco and the French government . Tbe emperor bad granted the satisfaction demanded . M . Frapoli , envoy from tbe Roman triumvirate fo the French government , but never acknowledged ss such , was arrested in Paris on Saturday , on a charge of being implicated in the affair of the 13 th of June . He had escaped the researches of the police . He was one of the authors of the Appeal to tbe Trench people in favour ef the Republic .

      The Legislative AssEMBtr . — 'At the opening of the sitting of the Legislative Assembly on Friday , M . Mathieu de la Drome laid on tbe table a number of petitions , signed by inhabitants of the _Uppsr Marne , demanding tbat primary instructions be obligatory and gratuitous . M . Desjobert afterwards read to the Assembly the report of the committee , to which the following proposition of M . Napoleon Bounaparte was referred for examination : — ' I . The laws of the 10 th of April , 1832 , and of the 26 th of May , 1848 , banishing the family ofthe Bourbons , are abrogated . * * 2 . The decree issued by the Constituent Assembly on the 27 th of June , 1848 , is repealed . The insurgents of June transported without trial shall be restored to liberty . '

      ' The report stated that M . Napoleon Buonaparte had protested against the idea of assimilatinR the persons , proscribed hy the first laws , with men he himself stigmatised as culpable aud criminal . His intentions had heen misunderstood hut as tbe terms of the proposition remained the same , and might be the occasion of an odious assimilation— ( loud murmurs on the Left ) , — -the committee had been unanimously of opinion to reject it . The report was then ordered to he printed , and a day is ulteriorly to be fixed for its discussion . -

      SIGNIF 1 CANT SCBHE . —mOOB . ESS OF THE ftOYAMST COKSPIltACV . M . Anthscy Thouret rose and asked by whose order the word ' Monsieur' had been substituted for that of ' Citizen' in the report of the proceedings of tVe Legislative Assembly , publishdd in the ' Moniteur . ' Ha could see no reason to justify the change . It was either significant or it was not . If the substitution meant nothing , why have made it ? M . Dupin replied that since February no law or regulation bad ordered the substitution of the appellation of' Citizen' for that of * Monsieur , ' and he knew not why the change had taken place . The word' Citizen ! was _oBnoxious , and what proved it was that the word * Monsieur' had survived it . He had , consequently , acted wisely in restoring this last appellation .

      M . Anthony Thouret next complained of the reporters of the * Moniteur * having altered a note he had communicated to them for insertion , by striking out tbe word' Citizen , ' which hehad written hefore Irs name , and calling him * Monsieur . ' fLaughter . ) M . Dupin , interrupting M . Thouret , _ssid , ' Let us call ourselves Messieurs' and prove ourselves citizens . ' ( Approbation . ) M . Pierre Leroux beheld in the measure an intention to destroy tbe revolution of February , and

      reestablish the feudal titles of count , duke , & c . ( Laughter . ) . ' I cannot , ' he said , - understand that hatred ofthe word ' Citizen . ' Do you wish tobe called subjects ? Many , I know , of those who object to the appelation of ' Citizen' would not desire something belter . ' ( Cries of * * Order ! ' ) Do you wish to dishonour _yourselves ? ' ( Loud interruption on tbe Ministerial benches . ) M . Leroux , ? urning towards M . Odillon Barrot , exclaimed , ' Send for your gendarmes , if you please , and left the tribune amidst rears of laughter .

      M . Mathieu dela Drome said , that the reactionists were _beginningto wage war upon words , until 8 facourable _op--ortnnity offered to wage it upon things . Tbe Ministers of Justice had again received the title of keeper ef the seals . In his opinion the title of President of the Republic was far superior to that of Prince . If the nation conld perish , those who _govern it would have long ago killed it . ( Murmurs . ) When he had concluded , the memhers of the Right demandnd the previous question , which was voted 304 to 155 On Monday the order of the day was the discussion on the report of the committee on tbe preposition of MM . Morellet _. Duche , Raspail , Bac , and other members to ensure good treatment to persons detained in confinement on suspicion .

      The President : The committee is of opinion that it is not advisable for the Assembly to take the proposition into consideration at present . M . Morellet addressed the house at _considerable length , insisting on the -necessity of having tbe present system of treating prisoners detained on suspicion completely changed . At present , he declared , such persons were treated like criminals , contrary to every idea of justice and humanity . M _* . Labordere , tbe reporter , _supported the conelusions of the committee , arguing that it would be dangerous for the purposes of justice to impose any restrictions on the juge _destruction in his mode of acting with respect to prisoners arrested on suspicion . M . Bac supported tbe proposition . On a _divison , the numbers

      were—For the conclusions of the committee 322 Against tbem . . . 212 Majority . . . ——110 Consequently , tbe proposition was declared not to be taken into consideration . Pakis , Tuesday . _—Aniongist the measnres discussed yesterday evening in the Legislative Assembly was one by M . Pelletier , for extinguishing misery and abolishing the proletariat . This is a motion which , like that of Mr . Feargus O'Connor for the Charter in the Ilouse of Commons , is periodically renewed , and always receives the same conclusiontbe shelf . Tbe proposal of M . Pelletierwas considered by the committee to which it was referred

      unnecessaiy to be discussed . But the honourable member submiited his plan to tbe Assembly , notwithstanding tbis adverse decision . According to his scheme , a vast administration is to be established in Paris , witb a branch in every canton , which shall be charged to procure employment for all unoccupied citizens , or in default of work to supply tbem with the means of existence ; to organise credit * , to advance money to agriculturists , to manufacturers , and to proprietors , on a deposit of their merchandise , or ou mortgages ; to discount commercial bills ; to effect insurances against fire , frost , bail , and other casualties . To obtain funds , M . Pelletier proposes , in the first place , to stop 5 c . per fiance from the wages of such

      working-men as may adhere to his plan and then , as thc above plan would not raise enough , to dispose in an arbitrary manner , for the benefit of the bank , of communal property , of the money of the savings banks and of the charitable institutions ; and finally , he woald ' / mposeofl _ihestste the obligation to furnish all tbe sums that may be necessary for this vast organisation until such a time es it 13 able to dispense with its assistance . The Assembly was about to vote against the measure , when M . Ch . Dupin , the reporter on the proposition , pointed out tbat it would be dangerous to allow such attacks to pass by unanswered ; the discussion was therefore deferred until to-day .

      To-day , accordingly , M . Charles made a long speech in refutation of tbe doctrines of M . Pelletier , lie was embraced with much unction hy his brother the president of the Assembly , when he left the tribune .

      M . Pelletier proposed to adjourn the discussion on his project . This was rejected . He then proposed to withdraw his motion altogether , but the Assembly demanded a division , when there appeared for the report of the committee rejecting the project of law 433 , against it 5 . Majority against M . Pelletier 428 . The result of the division was received with loud laughter . The Mountain declined taking part in the vote . The Chamber adjourned at a quarter-past six o ' clock . The accused of the 13 th of June were transferred on Tuesday night from tbe Couciergerie to Versailles . They left Paris at eight o ' clock , and arrived . at their destination at ten o'clock .

      ITALY . ROME , Sept . 27 . —The theatre affords an _amusinj mode of expressing biting satire or conveying covert reproof . There frequent allusions to false protestations , diplomatic duplicity , and national ill faith draw down rapturous encores and thundering applause from the Romans ; whilst the French officers , numbers of wbom are always present , show by their embarrassment tbat truth dexterously applied , must ever ' make the _ga'led jade wince . ' A favourite

      comic actor , named Bellotti , was recently hauled up for saying in his part , at tbe Valle Theatre , ' Such perfidy could only be tolerated at Paris . ' Tiie facetious improvisatore was warned tbat a repetition of such sentences would relieve bim from all imaginary parts for the ful ure , and send him to perform a real and _somewhat monotonous one in a place Of Strict confinement . I have , _bewfiver , beard him again giving way to some very audacious , and therefore very warmly applaitdea sentiments on the stage , since his ominous colloquy with the prefect of police .

      Amongst the lower classes the suaviier in mode is less observed in tbe manifestation of national antipathy , and a lamentable collision took place four or five evenings ago between some French cavalry soldiers and Roman artillerymen iu an alley near the Chiesa Nuova . Some modern Helen appears to bave occasioned the fray , in _<* _-hich two Frenchmen lost their lives , and wliich will ultimately cost still more blood , as some of the artillerymen have been condemned to death by a court-martial for taking a prominent part in the combat .

      Many of your readers are doubtless much interested in the fate of the Rev . Giacinto Achilli ; I will therefore give you such information respecting him as I have been able to collect this morning . Mr . Freeborn , the British consul , waited on the French prefect of police , Le Iteuxeau , yesterday , in order once more to interpose his good offices in behalf of the prisoner ; he , however , learned that anew ground of accusation had been alleged against him , by which he had become _iubjecttothevicar-general _' s tribunal , as well as to tbat of the Inquisition . A romantic story of fourteen or fifteen years ago is now revived , and required to be fully cleared up before the

      prisoner be liberated . It appears that _Acbilli was m his yoath attached to a young lady of Viterlio , with whom , from family motives , an union was declared impossible ; resolving not to endanger their mutual fidelity , the lovers forests-ore the world ; the lady retiring to a convent , and her admirer assuming the priest ' s garb . Here the affair did not end , as the newly-made priest was not slow in presenting himself at the convent , and in obtaining admission , either as confessor or otherwise , within its secluded walls . The intimacy resulting from such habitual intercourse was considered by the ecclesiastical authorities to bsa scandalous precedent , and . Achilli was accordingly ordered to discontinue bis visits .

      and leave that part ofthe country . He was " force" to obey , but before doing so he obtained a final interview , very shortly after wbich tbe lady died ; and he went to Malta , America , and other parts of the world , to dissipate his chagrin . The sudden death of the nun and the sudden departure of the preist are now _Beriously brought forward for tbe first time against Dr . Achilli , after so long a period , and tbepertect of police declares that if acquitted by the inquisition ( which might perhaps be effected ) , he will still bave to encounter the more formidable a'tack ofthe vicar-general . All that the consul has been able to obtain is permiss _i on to visit tbe prisoner in his cell at the Castle of St . Angelo .

      It is certainly a most iniquitous plan to keep an unfortunate wretch languishing in a dungeon for months and months without bringing hira to trialbreaking down his health and spirits , and gradually depriving him of tbe physical and intellectual vigoar _nec-ssary for tbe defence of his cause . In such a way bave the French treated the Deputy Cer , _* _-uschi . He is still confined at Civita Vecchia , but his honourable character and enthusiastic sentiments lately procured him so much sympathy amongst the officers of tbe French garrison stationed there ! that

      they resolved to afford him an opportunity of leaving bis prison . Their connivance at his escape was fully ensured , but the plot was discovered before it could be put into execution . Such strong interest has since been used in his behalf , that tha French fiscal officer has promised to have him brought forthwith to Rome and tried by a court-martial , which cannot fail to acquit him , as he is accused of having attempted to excite a revolt in Rome after the entry of the French troops , where _« 3 he was mainly instrumental in preventing it .

      The priests are in sad odium . Several of tbat fraternity travelling to Naples were lately stopped near Velletri , nothing was taken from them , au contraire , they received a severe drubbing With aticks _* . insomuch that some carriages full of their brethren have deemed it more advisable to take the route of Civita Vecchia , and so hy sea , than to hazard such rencontres . The Unfortunate Patmots . -- letters of tbe 28 th from Venice we learn that six barks

      full of Neapolitans who had left that city , having entered the port of Ancona , were obliged to proceed to Pescara , as they were not permitted to remain . Having met with the same fate at Pescara , and being in want of provisions , they returned to Venice . Tbe Civil and Military Governor did not permit the wanderers to land , but af : er supplying them with what was necessary procured them the necessary passports from the Neapolitan Consul , and once more dismissed them from the port .

      PIEDMONT . —The' Chronicle' says : We have received letters from Turin which state that the Piedmontese government has discovered a formidable conspiracy , in which both the Piedmontese and the French demagogues are implicated , and which was to have broken out at Genoa . It appears that the occasion of tbe funeral honours to have been celebrated iu houour of Chailes Albert was to bave been seized upon for an insurrection . The body of Charles Albert was expected to arrive at Genoa on the 27 th or 28 th ultimo , and upon that occasion the demagogues from all parts of the country were to have congregated and got up a disturbance , and to

      bave _seted upon that opportunity of getting possession of the city . The plot was discovered by the government in time , and some of tbe ringleaders have been arrested . In the meantime great precautions bave been taken to prevent any further attempts . Large bodies of troops have been sent from Turin in the direction of Genoa , which are stationed in all the neighbouring towns . The leaders in this plot are understood to be M . M . Brofferio and Valerio , two members of tbe _Chambsr of Deputies

      at Turin . It appears that the Piedmontese government has given notice to the French Cabinet of the discovery of this plot , and lias assured it that , in the case of any insurrection , it is quite prepared to put it down . This notice has been given ' because , after the recent defeat of the Piedmontese : Minister in tbe Chambers , it was feared , that in the event of an insurrection France would hasten to throw n portion of the army of the Alps into Piedmont to prevent a second intervention on the part' of Austria .

      MoitE French Infamy . *—The 'Concordia' of Turin , of the 29 th ult . states , that when Garibaldi arrived in the port of Tunis the authorities would not allow him to land . This measure was said to have been recommended by the French envoy . The Bey , however , offered Garibaldi a steamer to take bim to Malta if be liked . Garibaldi , after some reflection , declined the offer , recollecting that other Italian refugees had not been received there . The Sardinian steamer then took him back to Cagliari , wltere he arrived on the 22 nd ult . ; and after having heen in quarantine till the 24 th ult ., he was-taken tothe small island of Maddalena , where he now is under the surveillance of Col . Folchi , but free upon

      parole to ramble about at his leisure . The above journal quotes the folio-sing _fetter , dated Maddalena the 25 th , which it 'has received from Garibaldi : — _« Brother , —I have not been received at Tunis . I have been landed here till further orders from the government . Remember me to my friends . 1 have been very well treated by Capt Milleline and tbe officers . Write to me ; yours faithfully , Garibaldi . ' The Paris papers of Saturday slate that ' important news has been received to-day from Turin . It was asserted at tbe Legislative Assembly that the government had received a despatch from that capital informing it of the rejection by the Chamber of the demand ol 15 _. Q 00 _.

' Aeflgiio to dissolve the existing chamber forthwith , and to demand a revision of the Constitution . ' Tu _bHeAPJLITAN QUESTION ONCE MORE . —Copies of two recent despatches on Sicilian affairs have been published by the foreign correspondents of the morning journals . The first , dated * Naples , 16 th September , ' is addressed by Mr . Temple to the Che valier _Fortunate , Foreign Minister at Naples . Historically recounting the facts of the late intervention by Great Britain between the King of the Two Sicilies and the Sicilians , undertaken at the King s

      urgent request , and on the condition that the constitution of Sicily was revived as in 1812 , it reminds the King , tbat tbe surrender of the Palermitans was conditional on a general amnesty , and it expresses a confident hope that the King ' s promise will not be broken . Moreover , the British government cannot refrain from submitting , that the Sicilian people should not be deemed to have forfeited tbeir right to tbe constitution ( of 1812 ) by reason of the efforts which they have made to recover the practical enjoyment of it . The Sicilian Minister's reply is dated Naples , 20 th September . * It rejects the conditional basis of the good offices offered by Great Britain , saying , This subject , and everything connected with

      it , has been already discussed at great length , fully argued , and finally recognised to have no weight or value ; " asserts that the insurgents had yielded before the K _* _ng'a victorious arms ; and claims tbe right of every independent sovereignly to regulate the internal administration of its own country ; but it declares that the King 'is still well disposed , of his own free will , to establish such forms of administration as are suitable to that part of the kingdom , and are desired by the inhabiiants themselves . ' In fine , ' If no foreign agent attempts to disturb the peace now actually prevailing in the island , bis Majesty is certain that all his subjects will be united in an indissoluble bond of love and loyally to their

      legitimate sovereign . ' Private letters from Genoa of the 4 th mention that Garibaldi , on arriving at the island of Maddalena , demanded passports for England , with the intention of proceeding thence to the United States _wbera he intended to settle . Since then , however , he has received proposels from the Montevidean Envoy in Paris , who offered him the command of tbe forces of that Republic , and it is believed he will accept the offer .

      Private letters from Marseilles , dated the 6 th , state that eighteen of the members of tbe late _Homan Constituent Assembly had arrived in that city . Sixty left Rome tegether , aud were accompanied by a part of the population outside the gates , who cheered them as they left . They embarked in different vessels , and some proceeded to Genoa , and others to Toulon .

      GERMANY . BADEN . — -Rastadt , Sept . 29 . —On tbe previous day Professor Kinkel had his sentence read to bin ) , which condemns him to imprisonment in a fortress for life . He was tben taken to the railway to be escorted to a Prussian fortress , under a strong escort —the account says , of a whole battalion of Landwehr . Mannheim , Sept . 2 C—The directors and singers of the opera , also all the actors in a body , hare been informed by tbe governor that he will not permit any piece whatever to be played in which anything occurs , unintentionally or not , calculated to throw the slightest degree of ridicule on the army . ( Fromthe correspondent of tbe Morning Chronicle . )

      Berlin , Oct . 3 . —The congress ot delegates of German booksellers , printers , and publishers , which met some days past at Berlin , terminated its sittings last evening somewhat abruptly . First , some members who have made _tbera-ielves notorious in various parts oi Germany for their ultra-democratic opinions and conduct could not obtain a prolongation of residence permits ; and secondly , one or two members having broached doctrines and proposed resolutions which were considered illegal by the attendant

      _comroissarj * of police , that _functionary rose , and summoned tbe meeting to disperse . The order was obeyed , after sonie delay and much murmuring , and the delegates have , for the most part , returned home . To judge by tlie physiognomy of the assembly , the diffusion of knowledge is a favourite trade with the Hebrew profession of faith . Before separating , the meeting agreed to the following resolutions , which explain the objects of the ' Gutenberg Union .-

      —' Sect . 1 . The object of the Gutenberg Union is the advancement of general welfare , namely , the increase and assurance ofthe material and intellectual well-being of printers and compositors , both principals and assistants ( including , of course , booksellers and publishers ') . ' Sect . 2 . The union declares the chief means for obtaining this object to be' 1 . The foundation and organisation of an intimate brotherhood of printers and compositors for the purposes of mutual and responsible protection of each other _against injustice and necessity . ' 2 . The establishment of a general fund .

      AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . . The dissensions which have long prevailed iu the Austrian cabinet have at length reached a crisis . Scb warzenburg and Bach are said to bave declared their intention of resigning . The questions which have set ministers at odds are the Hungarian and German questions . The portion of tbe cabinet expected to go out « the most liberal , and represents the principles of the March constitution . A courier as started for London , with despatches to Colloredo , who is inviled to accept the ministry of foreign affairs in tbe new cabinet , _Schoierling is talked of as president , The new policy will be to sink the constitution oi March 4 , and to assume a very decided attitude on tbe German question .

      The assassination of Georgey is an unfounded rumour . Radetski goes in a few days to Presburg , and shortly returns to Milan . There is no doubt ( says the ' Daily News' ) of the surrender of Comorn . The way it was managed was tbis . Haynau would not hear of any terras , while Radetski was for granting an amnesty . Haynau apparently carried his point , and set off in triumph to attack the fortress , take it , as he said , and hang all within . But no sooner was he gone , than Radetski exerted himself , and obtained from the Emperor the conditions which the garrison required . These are an amnesty , 800 , 000 florins for the notes within thefortreis , and passports for those who wish to emigrate . Thus bas Haynau been disappointed of his butchery , perhaps ofhis defeat , and the peaceful surrender of Comorn secured .

      The Hungarian generals who submitted at Arad had already been sentenced ( it is said lo the extreme penalty of death , ) and the sentences had been transmitted to Vienna for confirmation . The fatal list included ihe names of Generals Aulich , _Nagy-Sandon , Leiningen , Damjanich , and tbe poet Augustus Bayer . The papers teem with heartrending accounts of the desolation of Hungary and the great destruction of property caused by the civil war . The Russians alone have largely profited by it .

      POLAND . General Rudiger , accompanied by a numerous staff , reached "Warsaw on the 4 th from Hungary . Fuad Effendi , the special envoy of the Porte to the Russian government , passed through Warsaw on the 4 th , and continued his journey with as little delay as possible to St . Petersburg . Paskiewitch , to avoid seeing him , took care to be out of the way . I have beard a trait of this general which shows how faithfully the copy of imperial manners is transmitted by the h « h functionaries downwards . Paskiewitch , as lord lieutenant of Poland , has hia council of ministers , just like an independent prince . One of these having recently displeased him , the prince of "Warsaw , whose advanced age is accompanied with con . siderable bodily vigour , knocked him down , and kicked bim while sprawling on the floor .

      The trial of the Aator-house Opera riotersi was proceeding . Some startling disclosures had been made . It appeared , by unimpeachable _evioe"ce ' that « rowdies' from tbe northern liberties of Philadelphia bad been specially engaged for the not in question , and that a deliberate purpose was formed by some of these banditti to set fire to the theatre whileit was full of people . Preparations bad actually been made by getting a collection of shavings for that diabolical purpose . At tbe Democratic State Convention of Massachusetts held at Springfield on the 19 th of September , resolutions were adopted in opposition to the extension of slavery , but not making it a test question in the party .

      The 'New York Tribune' alludes to the state of affairs in the Mosquito territory , and says , 'We heard from Washington that a pretty sharp correspondence had taken place between the Secretary of State and Mr . Crarapton , the representative of Great Britain , relative to certain rssuniptions of English upon tbe Mosquito territory . ' The press of the United States has for some time past viewed with jealousy the growing protectorate exercised by the British Government over the savages of that territory and the plans based thereon ; and it is not at all improbable that the government have at last taken up tbe subject .

      According to a Washington letter of the 23 d ult . the squabble between the United States Government and M . Poussin had nearly subsided . It is asserted tbat M . Poussin regrets extremely the occurrence which lias resulted so _entirely to his disadvantage , and that he has authorised a friend , a gentleman from New York , to make all necessary and suitable apologies to the President and to Mr . Clayton . The correspondence relative to tbis affair is published in he newspapers . In the Butler divorce case , says the Philadelphia 'North American , ' the Court of Common Pleas of this county , on Saturday last , made a final and absolute decree , divorcing the parlies from the bonds of matrimony . The decree granting the divorce is in tbe following language : —

      ' And now , the Oth day of August , in the year of our Lord 1849 , the return of Thomas Dunlap _, Esq ., examiner of the depositions of the witnesses , taken before him on the patt of the _libelant , was presented and filed , September 3 rd , 1849 , on motion of George M . Dallas , Esq ., rule to show cause why divorce should not be decreed — whereupon the court , on the 22 nd day of September , 1849 , after mature and solemn deliberation , being satisfied therewith , and proclamation being duly -Bade for

      the respondent to come forth , and she not appearing , the court do order , adjudge , and decree , that tbe said Pierce Butler , tbe libellant be divorced and separated from tbe bond of matrimony contracted with the said Frances Anne Butler , the respondent , and that all and every the duties , rights and claims accruing io either of the said parties by reason of the said marriage , shall henceforth cease and determine—and the said parties be severally at liberty to marry again , in like manner as if they never had been _tnatrieii .

      The news from Canada is scanty , though of an exciting nature . It consists in the following telegraphic despatches received at New York ;—Montreal , Sep . 19 . —Intelligence of a bloody encounter between the Radicals and the Tories , at Bytown , bas just reached tbis city . It appears that the Radicals ( or' Reformers' ) called a public meet _, ing for tbe purpose of adopting a congratulatory address to the Governor-General , Lord Elgin , and ihat both parties went armed to the appointed place , where a fight soon commenced . The Radicals were driven from tbe ground , although , it is said , tbe Tories suffered the most . Seven or eight persons were seriously wounded by gun shots , and one or two are not expected to recover . '

      * Second Despatch . —Mootkea _** ,, Sep . 19 . — A public meeting was held at Bytown on Monday last , called by the Ministerialists , for the purpose of addressing Lord Elgin . The opposition men were present iu full force , and succeeded in completely breaking up the meeting and forcing the ministerial president to leave the chair . A resolution condemning Lord Elgin and the Ministry was then carried , which gave rise to considerable disturbance , during which fire-arms were freely used , and several persons wounded or killed . The military were called out , and , after some _difficulty , order was restored . '

      AN EFFECTUAL CUBE FOR PILES , FISTULAS , & c . ABERNETHY'S PILE OINTMENT . "What a painful and noxious disease is the Piles ! and , comparatively , how few of the afflicted have been permanently _tlj cured by ordinary appeals to medical skill J This , no doubt , arises from the use of powerful aperients too _frequentlj , tl _* j administered by the profession ; indeed , stvong internal medicines should always be avoided in all cases of thislm ! complaint . The proprietor of the above Ointment , after years of acute suffering , placed himself under the _treat-iatt tnent of that eminent surgeon , Mr . Abernethy ; was by him restored to perfect health , and has enjoyed it over silicone ' without the slightest return of the disorder , over a period of fifteen years , during which time the same Alwmethianiaii prescription has beenthe means of healing a vast number of desperate cases , both in and out of the proprietor's ciiv . _' nv !! of friends , most of which cases had been under medical care , and some of them for a very considerable time . Aberbcn nethy ' s Pile Ointment was introduced to the public by the desire of many who had been perfectly healed by its _applicalicai tion , and since its introduction the fame of this Ointment has spread far and wide ; even the medical profession , aUvajwayy slow and unwilling to acknowledge the virtues of any medicine not prepared by themselves , do now freely and frankljikl ! admit that Abernethy ' s Pile Ointment is not only a valuable preparation , but a never failing remedy in every stage an < am variety of that appalling malady . Sufferers from the Piles will not repent giving the Ointment a trial . Multitudes of cases of vta efficacy might be pr » pw duccd , if the nature of the complaint did not render those who have been cured , unwilling to publish their names .
