      France. Serious Disputes Have Occurred B...

      FRANCE . Serious disputes have occurred between tbe Minister cf War and the committee presided over by M . Dam , charged to prepare the laws for the organisation of the government of Algeria . The committee holds that tbe moment is come for _introducing civil elements into the government of j Algeria . General Schramm maintains the _exclu-, / 7 give sway of the militarv hierarchy . On which side > the _National Assembly will pronounce i tself seems s at present doubtful . _< The President of the Republic commenced his public receptions for tbe season with a brilliant ..- < soiree at the _Elvs-e on Thursday . 1 he rooms were _* crowded . The British Ambassador , Lady Nor-. manby , and most of the members of the diplomatic / corps were present . . , . _, _„ .. ' The Princess of Capne having incurred in 1342

      :: * " _' ¦ a debt of 18 , 000 f . to Mil ? . Lenornsand , of tbe Rue de la Pa «» for articles of _cres 3 , proceedings were _>* in stituted against her husband for that amount . A _jrerdic- was given against bim ; but owing to his . _^ _/^ gaving Paris , it could not be _carried into effect . / _¦ " j _$ becoming known , a short tine since , that tbe y _S _pn nce bad _arrived in Paris , and was residing in tbe _Cbamps-SiyafCa , au application was made to the courts for leave to arrest him , and even to use ' * " force if necessary . He was taken before President de Belleyme , to whom he applied for leave to be set free on bis own recognizances , assuring that mag istrate ibai lie was in daily expectation of re . ceiving , _thresh the Minister of Foreign Affairs , a _considerable sum of money from Naples . The law / agen t of the adverse party ohj _^ cted to this course , and * \ L dc _Bfclleymf , after _luring the objections , stated that he -vould _alinw tbe case to stand over

      to _ih-s s _* s : day at two o clock , when the sum _oi'g j _aally ore , _z * well as 8 , 000 francs additional fir ici . iieii and costs , would have to he paid ; H not . be would be lodged in prison . The case was agaiu heard before President d = Belleyme of the civil tribunal . The creditors of the Prince demanded that , as be had not paid the amount due within the specified time , ha should be sent to prison ; but certificates were put in , showing the Prince to be too ill to be removed . Eventually it was notified that the Minister of _Foreign Affdirs had _intervened , ami ii . il an arrangement between the parties bad been _ci-me to . The President _acemdliulv _JeeiriVri ihai there was no ground for COr . _vevir _, c she Princa to prison .

      & _sg-w _as « : ; h _:-ci ut telegraphic communication has _bwnioveoirfi by M . A . Bbui , which has received the approval •;•; - i '» e _Legislative Assembly and the goveramer . i . It transmits 1 , 200 letters per minute being ab _» nt 400 _^ _vords . The law throwing open ths electric telegraph to the public will be carried into _effect on the 1 st of March next . The demand which bad been made by the Chamber of Commerce of Nancy , to prohibit the importation -nto France cf _embroidered muslins , has produced _considerable sensation in Switzerland , and instructions bave _bstn given to the Swiss Minister in Paris on the subject . Tbe Minister of _Comment has received several communications during the »¦ £ « cu the _subject of the Great _Exposition of London next _vi-ar . The nua _? b ° r of

      manufacturers _weese names wer _« : inscribed at _tae Hotel of the Minister , as _proposing to send _anScles to London , were , on the lsi ; of _September , 1 , 212 , of whom 793 reside in th-: L _» nartmenr o : the Set ae . They amount at prr _^ v to 2 , 481 , of whom 1 , 730 reside in the same _dapartmeu-. Of the eigluy . six departments of Fiance nine onl y have as yet produced nothing ftr tbe London Exposition . The Minister has , at the request of tbe manufacturers , extended tbe period allowed for receiving their produce in Paris from the 31 st of December to the 20 th of January .

      Accounts from the agricultural _diotrlcis slate r _tiat iiicic _lins i » ccu no chan ge in the price of corn within tbe last weet . Wheat of superior quality finds a ready sale , but the interior kind is _everywhere rejected . The demand for flour for exportation , which was tolerably -brisk in Paris some davs since , ha 3 diminished considerably . Letters from tiie south state that the demand for silk ba 9 bsen more active during the last week . A considerable amount of business was transacted at Acbeuas and at Romans , at an advance of one franc tbe kilogramme . Ths fair at _Joyeuse was completel y

      interrupted by incessant rain . At _Aubenas silk o superior quality was sold at from 65 f . to 65 f 50 _r . the kilogramme ; second quality , from 50 f . to 62 . The demand for silk was good at Marseilles , but ih « Stock in hand was low . Large quantities of wine continue to arrive at Bercy , but the price has not changed since last week . New wine is little sought for in consequence of its inferior quality . Letters from Auxerre announce a decline in price . Gaod wines of tbe year 1849 are sold there at from thirty to thirty-four fraac 3 tbe hogshead . The' Times' correspondent says :

      I stated oa Monday that the notice taken of the new and somewhat formidable plan of the revolutionists to propagate Socialist doctrines by means of tbe Freemasons' lodges bad attracted the " attention of tbe parties at tbe bead of this institution . I _jast learn that the attention of the Central Grant-Lodge has been particularly excited , and measures have been already taken to prevent any invasion _bt surprise of the secondary lodges of Paris and the departments . On Saturday a circular was issued by the Grand-Orient to tbe four grand lodges , earnestly urging them to leave nothing undone to prevent the institution of _freemasonary being changed in its character . The Grand Orient has acted with such energy that the 507 ledges under its orders will rigorously maintain the execution of their statutf s . A few lodges of an inff riur class may require to be watched ; but the surveillance exercised over them

      is so strict tnat even there also the Socialists will very probably be defeated . ' It is stated , oa the authority of private letters from Turin , that _Mazzini has been expected for some time at Genoa , in which citv the danger is believed to be greatest to the Italian Peninsula . A large body of Italian refugees is , it is said , _assembled there . Tbe Mazsini loan is reported to have been successful at Genoa , where the coupons are negotiated on the Bourse . A new manifesto has been addressed to the

      Socialist Democrats of Europe by tbe Association sitting in London , and calling itself La Societe des Proscrits , as distinct from the Central Socialist Committee . The members of the former are chiefly French , German , Hungarian , Polish , and Italian operaiives . The manifesto urges the European democracy to be on the _"atcb _, and declares that the time is coming to strike a blow everywhere to Kings : that the old social and political order of things is about to disappear , ' & c . In the opinion of the Society / it is observed in the manifesto : —

      ' If , on the 24 th of February , in place of submitting to a Government which was the issue of intrigue or of chance , the people of Paris had at once assembled in sections , confided to delegates named by them tbe application of measures conformable to the preceding _programme , the revolution would have followed its ' natural course , and prevented the tempest that we have yet to pass through , but from which our holy motto will yet fasue triumphant . ' M . de Montalemberf _, on Tuesday , presented the report cf the committee charged to examine the proposition of M . d'Olivier , tending to render it obligatory on all the workmen employed in tbe state establishments , workshops . and yards , to refrain from work on Sundays and fete days . Tbe

      report was of extraordinary length , extending to not leis than sixty-four printed octavo pages , and which declares , that all evils , social and moral , under which France is a ; present _lahnuring , are to he attributed to the non-abservance ot the sabbath . These ideas , which were supported by Ling aud energetic arguments , created an immense sensation . The Left received them with loud exclamations of disapprobation , and even the members occupying ; the ministerial benches seemed more than once to be taken b y surprise , by tbe _exeluslwness and intolerance with which the whole report was stamped . When Count _Montalerobcrt bad finished leading , several of tbe _Montagnards cried ' Amen , ' while e thers cried ' aCharenton' ( the lunatic asylum . ) There was very little applause from the Moderate benches .

      Tbe fete , in celebration of the second anniversary of tbe election of Louis Napoleon as President ot ths Republic , which took place o _* Tuesday evening , was exceedingly _splendid , and has passed off without tbe slightest accident . The number of guests at the _l anquet was ISO , includin g the President and _Vice-Pnsidents of the Assembl y , the representatives of tbe European Powers , she Ministers , Judges , Mayors of Par ' s , & c . The only toast was that of the President of the Hepublic , which was given by tbe Prefect of Seine . The speeches of the Prefect in proposing , and of the President in answering , were principally com posed of congratulations on the increasing trail *

      quillitv of France , the improvement of trade , and the embellishments of the capital . The onl y political allu sion was in the speech of Louis Napoleon , when be said that , - * notwithstanding the uncertainty of things , ftey mig ht reckon on , the futurei because it was known that if modifications were to be made in the government , they would be accomp lished without trouble . ' According to the ' Moniteur' this expression created a sensation . Tbe speech was loudly applauded . The ' Eveneraent' announces on the authority of shipping news from Marseilles that an insurrection had broken out at Palermo on the 27 th ult . This rumour remains as yet unsupported .

      GERMANY . The' New _Prussische' says that the resolutions arrived at in Olinutz respecting Hesse Casael , were as follows : — 1 . To solve the constitutional conflict in Hesse by two commissaries , one being appointed by Austria and her allies , and the other by Prussia and her allies . 2 . The town of Cassel to be occupied by a Prussian and an Austrain battalion . 3 . The Prussian troops to occupy the military roads in what strength they please .

      4 . The Austro-Bavarian , so called _bundestag ; army , to he reduced to that number necessary for the occupation of the Electorate . Tbe remainder to retire . That portion remaining in the Electorate to occupy also the districts north of the military road . Herr Ven Manteuffel , indignant at the general opposition which bis interview with Prince Swarzenbprg and its results has roused , writhing under the lash of tbe bitter speech of Baron Vincke , tbe unexpected opposition of the semi-Liberal party , and tbe doubtful suppport of the Left , at this portentous moment persuaded the K ng to adjourn the Chamber . The measure was expected by all but the members themselves , and when Manteuffel with his colleagues entered the Chamber on the 4 th , it was plain , from his agitation , and tbe great care which

      he paid to one sheet of paper , that something of importance was to be expected . The usual formnl proceedings having been got through , be arose , and read the royal decree adjourning the _Chambers until the 3 rd of January next . Great attention was p aid to tbe perusal of this document ; but ere tbe slightest sign of satisfaction or displeasure could be manifested , the President declared tbe sit-\ ing OTer _» and the Chamber separated at once , without any manifestation being made other than a few scattered hisses . In the galleries the decree was received with general laughter . The moment th _« _decree had been read , Manteuffel hurried from the ministerial bench with a rapidity quite unusual to his movements . _Out-ide the Chamber a knot of a dozen persons had collected , but all else in Berlin was quiet as usual . The second Chamber was also adinurned without any excitement being caused .

      The Frankfort papers ot the 7 th inst . corroborate all the particulars of our correspondence of the same date ; but they add that another step has been taken towards the solution of the Hessian question by means of personal communications which have lately been established between the King of Prussia and tbe Elector . No particulars have , however , transpired as to the directions of the negotiations , the conduct of which , it is said , has been confided to Major Boddien . The Elector of Hesse has entirely changed his

      conduct . Since the pact of Olmutz , which bas entire _l y _dissipated his former anxieties , he will hear of no concessions . In consequence of the virtual recognition which Prussia thereby makes of the ' authority of tbe Diet , tbe Elector expects tbe complete servitude of his now quite defenceless electorate , and rlec _' _ares that he will remain quietly here till bis new ally , M . Manteuffel , bas fulfilled the stipulations of Olmutz in his favour . To put an end to tbe street frays of the troops in Frankfort , marshal law was proclaimed by beat of drum for the whole garrison on the 7 th inst .

      The ' Deutsche Reforme contains the following despatch : —* Frankfort , Dec . 6 th . — ' The Olmutz convention reached Count Thun with the _intimarion , that he should procure the consent thereto of tne governments represented at the Diet . But the convention produced , on the contrary , much discord in the Diet . Violent debates have taken place , and th _? most passionate expressions of anger against tbe cabinet of _Vienna are heard from persons from whom such expressions would be least expected . ' Aitoka . —On the 6 th a sharp encounter took place at Geltorf , with a Danish outpost . Among others two Danish officers were killed . Hanover , Dec 4 There is here in preparation , at the instigation of the Ministrv , a plan for the closer union of tbe North German middle and small

      states , with a view to their joint operation at tbe free conferences at Dresden , especially with respect to tbe protection of important relations between this state and Mecklenburg in the Steurverin ( tax union ) and the llansiatic states in their special free tra ie laws . The following is an authorised account of the Olmutz deputation : — ' At the private conferences held this day and yesterday between the undersigned , tbe following propositions were adopted as of a nature to solve the pending differences and to prevent a conflict , and will be submitted without delay to the respective governments for their sanction . 1 . Tbe governments of Austria and of Prussia declare that it is their intention to effect a final

      settlement of the Hessian and Holstein questions by a decision in common of all German governments . 1 2 . To render possible the co-operation of tbe governments who are represented at Frankfort , as also of all other German governments , a commissary shall be appointed with as little delay as possible for each government , as well as of those members of the Diet represented at Frankfort , as of Prussia and her allies . It will be the task of these commissaries to concert the measures that are to be adopted .

      • 3 . But as tbe common interests of all demand that in the Electorate of Hesse , as well as in Holstein , a legal state of things should be established responding to the principles of the Diet , and rendering the fulfilment of the federal duties possible ; _asmnreover , Austria , in its own name , and in the name of the States , Us allies , has given full guarantees for the preservation of the _kiterestsjof Prussia , demanded by the latter with respect to tbe occupation of the Electorate , the governments of Austria and Prussia have agreed upon the following for tbe immediate treatment of the question , without prejudice for the future decision : —

      • a . In the Electorate of Hesse , Prussia is to oppose no obstacle to tbe action of the troops whose aid bas been invoked by the Elector , to which end it will issue the necessary orders to tbe generals there in command to allow free passage to those troops through tbe military roads occupied by Prussia . The two governments of Austria and Prussia w _]}) , with tbe assent of their allies , request his Royal Highness , the Elector , to give bis consent that a battalion of the troops called in by the Electorate government , and a Prussian battalion , shad remain quartered in Cassel for the maintenance of order and peace .

      ' 6 . After consulting their allies , Austria and Prussia will send , with as little delay as possible , commissaries , to call upon the _Stadlholderate , in the name of the Diet , to cease hostilities , to withdraw its troops beyond the Eider , and to reduce its army to one-third of its present numbers , under menace of joint-armed interference in case of refusal . On the other hand , both governments will _induce tbe Danish government not to maintain any greater amount of troops in the Duchy of Scbleswig than is necessary for the maintenance of quiet and order . ' 4 . The ministerial conferences will be held without delay in Dresden . The invitations will be hsued conjointly by Austria and Prussia , and in such gu _se that the conference may be opened in the middle of December . * Manteuffel . ' Olmutz , Nov . 29 _^ ' F . Schwarzenbbrg . '

      The New Gazette of Prussia' of the 6 th says . —* It is said in well-informed cire _' es that the Ba . varian Government has protested against the conventions agreed on in the conferences of Olmutz . It considers them an infraction of the federal trea ies , inasmuch as they establish free conferences , and suspend the Diet . The government has consulted the cabinet of Wurtemburgh on tbe subject ; but , as to Saxony and Hanover , it does not count on them to support its views . It is said that the Bavarian Government openly declares ¦ hat it will invoke the assistance of England and France , in favonr of its rights /

      The ' Deutsche Zeitung' announces the disgrace and the impending downfall of M . von der Pfordten , tbe Bavar ian Premier , in consequence of ' he Olmutz conference . Count Bray is mentioned as tbe only man who has a chance of succeeding that nnpopukr Minister . The letters from / Cassel in the 'Deutsche Zeitun * , are filled with accounts of the ' revolting _Hapreuwa' which the retreat of the _Prasiiu

      France. Serious Disputes Have Occurred B...

      troops is alleged to have made on the inhabitants of the _HesBian capital . It is asserted that these feelings were shared by tbe troops . As to the manner in which the retreat was effected , it is stated that the vanguard , in its positions in Hersfeld and the entrenchments around that place , was alarmed at two p . m . of the 3 rd inst . ; that the troops were informed of the advance of the Bavarians ; and that all necessary measures were taken to oppose and repel the enemy . Great alacrity was manifested by the troops , and the greatest excitement prevailed . The same measures were taken in the Prussian camps at _Schenklengsfeld and Friedsweld .

      A letter from Hamburgh says : — ' The last intelligence which we have received from Copenhagen is to the 1 st . A rumour was then very generally disseminated that the King of Denmark had determined to separate from Mdrae . Rasmussen whom he had not long since married , after having raised her to the dignity of Countess , The motives of this abrupt separation were not very well known . It was , however , said that , as the price of this matrimonial rupture , the Countess Rasmussen had ensured to herself , independently of the property already settled on her , a pension of 35 , 000 f . a year . '

      For a considerable time reports have been rife in Hamburgh and in AUona of an approaching change in the command of tbe army . That which appeared then most unlikely has now come to pass . _General Willisen bas received his dismissal at Rensburgh , and the command has been provisionally conferred on Major-General von Horst . This event betokens a change in the war system . And it may be concluded that General Horst ( formerly a Prussian colonel ) has , as is generally believed , determined to act with a resolution independent of the Stadtholderate .

      The members of the opposition met after tbe adjournment of the chamber , and resolved to resume their places of opposition to the government on tbe 3 rd of January , exactly at that point where they were interrupted by tbe adjournment of the 4 tb of December . Herr von Manteuffel bas bad several interviews with the Prince of Piussia since his return from Olmutz . The Prince is said to maintain his warlike views , and to be extremely indignant with the settlement come to at Olmutz .

      AUSTRIA . Viinna _, Dec 4 . — 'the _engagements entered into at Olmutz , of which the leading features are known to the public , have caused general satisfaction at this place , always excepting with the army , whicb _, as natural with soldiers , and above all with soldiers to whom battles have been familiar during two years , is disappointed at being deprived of an opportunity of adding to its laurels ; and , what is more sensibly felt by officers and men , an oppor . tnnity of replying , sword in hand , to the Scbleswig . Holstein-like _vauntings of the _Prussian journals _.

      The Austrian troops who assist Pio Nono to keep down his people are paid out of the taxes levied by the spiritual head of the Catholic Church from his grumbling subjects . The French troops whom Louis Napoleon lends bis Holiness for the same pious purpose are supported out of the taxes raised by tbe people of _Fraace . The Pope naturally prefers the French mode of doing business , and , therefore , he is endeavouring to get the whole o f his execrable police work done—on the cheap system—by what Michelet calls _« the holy bayonets of France . '

      PRUSSIA . The march of troops caniinues with undiminished activity throughout the Prussian provinces . It would seem that the government is disposed to complete the different army corps to their full amount before an attempt is made to reduce battalions or squadrons —a most costly experiment , and one that seems utterly useless , if , a 9 we are told , peace is secured . If we are to believe assertions made by the . ' Reforme , the Federal Assembly at Frankfort is extremely dissatisfied with tbe results of the arrangements made by Austria and Prussia . It regards these arrangements as au abandonment by Austria of the States drawn by her influence into the league , and subjected thereby to the most hostile assaults of their own Chambers and people , as well as to the danger of a quarrel with Prussia .

      Letters from the Hussian-Posen frontier state that the Russian army bas been , or rather is being , increased . This was tho natural consequence of the mobilising of tbe Prussian army * The Berlin ' _ConstitutionelV is tbe most unfortunate of journals ; it s editor is banished from the capital without any legally pioved offence ; it is seized two or three times a week by the police ; and now it is proscribed in Saxony _; the last number of the Dresden Journal' contains a decree , forbidding it to be published or circulated in that capital ; the reason given is ' that it h « s published matter calculated

      to excite hatred of the Saxon government , and intelligence injurious to the public security of the State . ' On the other hand , the Democratic journals appea r to enjoy an immunity from persecution at present . The ' National' disowns tbe parliamentary opposition , and is not enthusiastic for a war , ' as the Constitutionalists understand it ; ' so far it is on the side of the Ministry , and in the censorship that still exists over the press ( which differs from the old one mostly in the fact that it is exercised after tbe publication instead of before it ) , a considerable allowance is made for the language of articles that on the whole tend to support the policy of the Cabinet .

      The Court of Appeal of Prussia having hud a case submitted to it , in which the validity of the defence in a political prosecution turned on the point whether the penal code of tbe old German Confederation and the Constitution of that body are still _iiiesistence , and decided in the affirmative . The day for the meeting of the Dresden conference is , it appears , definitely fixed for the 18 th inBt ,, and , so far as can be ascertained , business will be pushed forward with all possible celerity , so as to enable the Prussian Cabinet to meet the Chambers upon the 3 rd of January with the groundwork of decisions , in so far , at least , as regards the most palpitating questions .

      The Vienna papers state that the continuance of the Austrian armaments will depend on the results of the crisis which has been created in Prussia by the . prorogation of p arliament . In the interim the directors of the Northern Railway have been commanded to prepare for tbe transport of 25 , 000 troops , weich are now leaving Gallicia for Oatraw and _Hobenstadt , on the frontiers of Bohemia . The advices of the German papers from Cassel confirm the news of the advance of the Bavarian troops . They have entered Zigenbain , and are pre . paring to occupy Treisa . Large masses of Prussian troops have _passed through Cassel on their way back into Westphalia .

      Tbe negotiations between the Elector and the inhabitants of Cassel have as yet bad no result , and the ' Kolner Zsitung' states that the Prince has relumed to his former obstinacy ever since he was informed of the particulars of the Olmutz arrangements . A league is concluding between _Oldenburgb , Hanover , and the Hanse Towns . They engage to support one another at the Dresden Conferences .

      BADEN . The Prussian garrison has been completely withdrawn from _Rastadt , which will henceforth be oc < cupied by a portion of the Baden Infantry contingent , and by the usual detachment of Austrian artillery . Badeu has , it appears , fallen off completely from the Prussian Union ; without , however , breaking with Prussia , or without joining the Frankfort Assembly .

      SAXONY . In the sitting of tbe Second Dresden Chamber , on tbe 2 nd inst ., M . D . Behr , Minister of Finance , stated to the bouse that be had every reason to believe that peace would not be interrupted , and that the free conferences for the re-organisation of the Federal Constitution , and tbe settlement of other collateral questions , would meet in a short time at Dresden--measures that would of course enable the government to reduce its armaments .

      DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . According to the Holstein journals , the Danish army is so reduced tbat it does not reckon more than 40 , 000 men on paper , while tbe insurgents are stated to Lave as many effectives , Should an engagement ensue , and _inieriority of numbers be pleaded as excuse for defeat , or additional cause for triumph in case of _success , these declarations must be borne in mind .

      HUNGARY . Complaints have arrived from the frontiers of Bohemia that the Croatians stationed in the nei ghbourhood come over the boundaries and infest the Prussian villages by begging . The Austrian armament is vigorously continued _; 20 , 000 men are to he collected at Cracow , while _Lemberg will be garrisoned with 27 , 000 Russians . ITALY .

      or sees is under the secret management of the « Pronaeanda Fide , ' and is therefore extremely difficult to penetrate . The impression made , however , both on the clergy and the intellectual part of the Roman citizens , is , that his Holiness has been ill-advised , and that the act is precipitate and imprudent ; indeed , if report is to be credited , his Holiness now regrets the step that has been taken . In the meanwhile , the vatripretre is hig hly offended at the / rolics of the 5 th of November , but feel the _consequence of the meetings and petitions to hei _mje 3 it appears that such is the alarm created in the b _, dy of the Sacred College at the anli-Catbohc demonstrations in England , that the Roman government now clearly sees the expediency of arranging matters with Piedmont . _TT _. - . ,-

      The Roman government has at last given Us consent that the American Protestants of the United States may have a Protestant chapel within the walls of Rome , whilst the English occupy a granary outside the gates , fitted up , and certainly well arranged , as a Protestant chapel . Some years ago the Rev . Mr . Hutchinson and several Peers of England endeavoured to purchase a piece of land to build a Protestant chapel upon 5 and this was not on y refused , but the proprietor of the land was threatened with imprisonment if be sold it without inserting a condition in the contract of sale' tbat no assemblage of persons could be allowed to occupy it , which of course implied prohibition . It is stated that Lord Minta has written a letter to

      a high personage in Rome respecting the Catholic hierarchy in England , with a recommendation that it be communicated to the Court of Home . It is _aaid tbat Lord Minto describes the embarrassment in which the government of her Britannic Majesty is placed , and ascribes to the want of prudence with which the bull , erecting Westminster a diocese , has been _published , tbe painful consequences the Roman Catholics will have to undergo , should the present Ministry not be able to protect them and treat them with the impartiality which characterises the policy of Lord John Russell . Lord Minto , it appears , concludes by expressing a hope that tbe Pope will adopt some measure calculated to remedy the evil and calm the general effervescence of the country ,

      Letters from Naples state that Baron de Riso , wlio was recently decorated by the King , was stabbed with a poignard , as he was leaving the theatre , on the 27 th ult . ; and that M . Sedato had been shot at and wounded . Tbe latter took part in the revolutionary movement , but lately joined the Royalists .

      THE LEVANT . The ' Journal de Constantinople' confirms the intelligence of the pacification of Bosnia by _Oraer Pacha . Mebemet Pacha , the netv Governor-General of Aleppo , left Constantinople on the 17 th for bis post . Additional troops were sent to Aleppo on the same day . The latest intelligence from the latter place is , that after the defeat of the rebels by Kirim Pacha , they attempted to attack Aleppo again ou the following day , their numbers having been recruited during the night by some bands of Arabs . This second attack , however , was not more successful than the first , as ihe insurgents were a second time entirely defeated , leaving about a hundred prisoners in tbe hands of the Imperial troops . Abdulla Bey , whose duplicity since the commencement of the late troubles had

      attracted the attention of the government has been arrested . We learn from the ' Observateur _d'Athenes' that the Senate _assembled on the 21 st ult ., and commenced its labours by some preliminary business . The Chamber held its first regular sitting on the 25 f . ii , under the presidency of M . Metaxa , tbe senior member . The verification of powers and the formation of the bureaux occupied the whole sitting .

      CAPE OF GOOD HOPE . Tbe proposed constitution for tbe Cape of Good Hope sent out by Earl Grey , does not seem to grow in favour with the colonists . The presidency of the First Chamber , pioposed by Earl Grey to be in her Majesty , is rejected even by the Government Commission , and by the municipal authorities totally repudiated . The Governmeut proposals , almost in every article , are far short of the requirements and intelligence of the colony . The inhabitants , as on the convict question , have deliberately made up their minds ; rejection of their suggestion is sure to evoke an _irresistable opposition . A constitution for the Cape will never be graciously received unless it thoroughly embodies the English representative principle .

      Disturbances have again . broken out on tbe Kaffir frontier of the Cape of Good Hope , the native tribes being tbe aggressors . It does not seem that the malcontents wer . ' very formidable in numbers , but still appearances were sufficiently menacing to induce his Excellency the Governor General ( Sir H . Smith ) to repair without delay to the scene of strife , in order to ascertain tbe cause and extent of the outhreak , and to adopt such measures as he might deem necessary for its speedv

      suppression . AMERICA . There is some distress in tbe manufacturing districts of New England . More than 300 , 000 spindles have been recentl y stopped in the cotton manufactories at Lowell and elsewhere in Massachusetts , and they do say 700 , 000 spindles in all the Northern gtates . About half the Maryland cotton factories have suspended , but in Pennsylvania verv few have stopped , if any . Tbe manufacturers attribute all this to the tariff of 1846 ; but the very fai _^ h price of the raw material , and the introduction of cotton mills in the South are probably the principal causes of tbe depression .

      The following news bas been received by tbe Royal mail steam-ship Cambria , Cap . Leitcb , which arrived in the Mersey about noon on Wednesday . The excitement regarding the Fugitive Slave Bill , whice ran very high during the late elections , now occupies but little of public attention in the Northern States . By a comparison of the leading features of the returns made in Massachusetts with tbe previous returns of 1840 valuable results are attained ; among them none are more apparent than the fallacy of the Protectionist doctrine so prevalent there , which supnoses that an increase ot manufacturers increases

      the home demand for agricultural produce . The number of active persons , and of various manufacturing establishments now in operation , show a great and invariable increase over those recorded in 1840 , while , on the other hand , as marked , and almost as invariable a decrease , has taken place in the numbers of farm stock and quantities of farm produce . It appears from returns that in the manufacturing districts the number of operatives have increased thirty per cent ., and the number of _dwellings something more than forty per cent . Every branch of manufacturing industry shows an immense increase , more particularly shipping , and cotton and woollen factories . Tha increase of cotton spindles

      is ninety per cent ., whicb would alone account for much of the depression now existing through competition of the mills . Every description of manufactory shows the same result in a greater or less degree , am ) the towns in which tbey are located are connected by an increase of 800 miles of railroad . Yet , with all this marked augmentation of prosperity , both in manufactures and shipping , it does not appear , as it should do ( if the _Protectionist principle is correct ) , tbat tbe farmers of Massachusetts have built up a home-market of stead y and lucrative demand for themselves . On the contrary , the increasing demand for food has been met b y a decrease of production to almost the same extent , the deficiency having been made up by imports from New York and tbe South .

      The advices from San Francisco are to the evening of the 16 th ult ., and it is said that there bas been a further arrival ol California gold at Panama for the United States , amounting to 1 , 500 , 000 dollars . Great rejoicings had taken place in California , iii consequence of the arrival of the news that Bhe hod been formally received by Congress as a State of the United States . There is no important intelligence from the mining districts , where the usual alternations of good and ill luck prevailed , and quietness and order—a few murders excepted--seemed to be restored . And although there _waB immense grumbling among the majority of the miners , yet

      gold dust was pouring into San Francisco in large quantities . Sickness prevailed in the mines , where the deaths were numerous ; but the horrors on the overland rout have been appalling — thousands , literally thousands , have perished from fatigue hunger , thirst , and cholera , on the plains , particularly in the _Ninety-mile Desert . There had been several skirmishes between the miners and Indian * —the savages having been always worsted . From _Havannah we learn that the new Captain-General Conda has arrived at _Havannab , and entered upon his duties , He was said to be rapidly gaining in public favour .
