      FRANCE . In the National Assembl y , on Wednesday , a scene of indescribable confusion took place . M . Duprn hawngbeenobliged to call M . Barrault to order , tne Mountain en maSSS declared that , the tribune being no longer free , they wonld take no part in the debate . Paris , Friday . —The report of M . Bencher , in the name of the committee appointed to examine the question of the duty on potable li quors , and which was distributed yesterday to tbe members of the legislative Assembl y , commences by stating that the Constituent Assembl y , when on the point ot

      separating , had passed a bill to take off the whole du t y , amounting to little less than 100 millions a year . But the financial position of the country 1-ad not by any means improved to such a degree as to admit of that extensive sacrifice . The bud get for 1 S 50 , presented by M . Passy , showed a deficit of 320 millions , even when maintaining the duty in question . The present minister of finance adopted in part the estimates of his predecessors , but proposingother me ans of providing for the insufficiency of the ordinary resources—and by him also the duty on potable li quors was looked on as absolutel y re , quired by the state of the finances . The committee could not suppose that it ought , under such circumstance ? , to recommend the Assembly to agree to the abrogation of the daty , unless very peculiar

      circumsiauces couaccted with its collection and effects ab solu t el y required it . The document th < m proceeds to show what the amount of duty is in different foreign countries , and gives an historical account of its operations in France from the organic decree of tbe 25 Ventose , year XII . to the bill of May 29 th 1849 . The report enters into an examination of the different taxes which make np the dut y on potable li quors , and concludes the catalogue of advantages by declaring that it produces 10 ( f millions a year to the state ; furnishes nearl y one-third of the octroi Kvenue , and gives emp loyment to a vast number of persons in every part of the country . Tbe disad . van t ages of t he du t y are , that the collection is attended with a namber of annoyances to agriculture and commerce ; trammels to a certain extent the

      circulation and sale of potable liquors ; imposing a tax on twenty-five millions of consumers , whilst it exempts ten millions of producers ; calls on five millions of persons inhabiting the towns to pay an additional duty , which the thirty millions of inhabitants of the country districts are free from ; and , fin a lly , requires no direct purchases , made oil a wholesale scale , such as wealth y people alone could make , an amount of duly inferior to that pressing on consumption in detail . It concludes b y recommending the Assembly not to content to give up so large a sum as was produced by the duty . ' bnt to authorise tha government to continue to collect it during the year 1850 . 8

      Paris , Saturday . —The debate in the Chamber yesterday was upon a motion made by several Montagnard members , for allowing a sura of three millions to subsidise working associations in the capital . The subject was treated with indifference by tbe Assembly , which , however , was roused from its apathy by M . d'Hantponl ascending the tribune to read the following telegraphic despatch : — ' THE GOVERNOR GENERAL OF ALGIERS TO THE MINISTER AT WAR . « Algiebs , Dec . 2 —Zaatcha was carded by storm at ei ght o clock , a . m ., on the the 26 th ult . Bauzian and tbeScheriff Si-lloussa-Bou-Amar , and tbe 700 or 800 men of the garrison , defended themselves to the last , and were all put to tbe sword . Our loss consists of thirty or forty killed , and 150 wounded , of whom six are officers . '

      The reading of this despatch produced the deepest emotion in the Assembl y , par t icularl y the part which states that the Arabs dhd to a man in defence of iheir past . It was some time before the agitation subsided . The rest of the day was taken u ; j with the debate of the proposition alluded to . The Assembl y decided , by a majority of 399 votes to 188 , that it should not be taken into consideration . We read la the ' Pattk' and ' Monileur 0 u Soir ' of yesterday evening : — 'The President of the Hepublic has recavered from bis indisposition , but the state of his health will not yet permit him to ha exposed fur five or sis hours to the temperature of the season . The review of the national guard and the a r ray cann ot , therefore , take p lace on lioaday next . ' The rumours to the effect that tbe review would not take p lace are thus verified ; the dinner at the Hotel de ViHe and the ball are to be aiven .

      It was to be expacted that the government would attribute tbe adjournment cf the review to any cause but a political one , but the democratic papers are more explicit . ' We were prepared , ' says the ' National , ' for this announcement , and we had even previously announced that the review would cot take place . It was thought that the dissolution of four legions and the purifications which have been made in the companies stil ! orgauised would be suf . ficient to ensure the enthusiasm of the National Guard for the project of the Elysee . The information received b y M . Carlier has destroyed these hopes . The review is consequently countermanded . It is a new attempt , which has faikd . '

      lbs French government has received , by telegrap hic despatch , official news that the Queen of S . jain is eiiceinie . The announcement appears in the official columns of the Madrid Gazelle . ' According to Spanish etiquette , this announcement -reas not made until her Majesty had arrived at the third month of her pregnancy . Quern Isabella completed her nineteenth year on the 10 th of October last . ^ Paris , Monday . —M . Dupin , President of the National Asseinblv , gave his grand diuuer vesterday to the President of the llqiublic . Amongst other toasts given on the occasion by M . Dapni ihi following is cue— ' To the health of tbe President of the Republic , and to the union of the public au . roriti ? s for the consolidation of order at home sad the honourable maintenance of peace aud frieudiv relations v . ith other nations . '

      Th ? President of the Republic reairned thanks in the following words : — ' It is a lucky omen for peace at Lome and abroad that this first anniversary of the 10 th of December is celebrated ia the tnioat of a creat number of the members of the Assembly , and in the presence of the Diplomatic Corp ? . B ? - tween the National Assembly and me there is a comruiisiity of ori gin and a community of imprests . Boiii are the is ? ua cf popular suffrage . We both a : pire so the - ' aine object—the consolation of society end the prosperity cf the country . Permit me , therefore , to repeat Use " toast of your President , — ' To Use union of the public authorities . ' I add , « To the Assssflhly and its honourable President . ' Bath toasts wera received with applause .

      The Prf s : ilent of the Republic rode on horseback yesterday , and as be passed through the Champs Eiyseei , vhkh , owing to tbe fine weather , made a display of etjai pages nearl y equal to what was seen before the revolution of February , received numerous marks of public satisfaction ( from the mob oi aristocrats ) at bis recovtiy from his recent indisposition . Tux Question of the Uedcction or the Army was d-bated on Thur&jar , in tbe s it t ing of tbe Assembl y , on account of a bill " for the military co : itisigent of 1 S 49 . The contingent w ? s fixed at 80 , 000 rasn by the Minister of War , and two amendments wf re presented to reduce it to 40 . QG 0 , or at least to C 0 . O 00 , but the Assembly adhered to the original figure of 80 . 000 . M . d'Hautpoul , t he Minis t er of War , has declared that tbe political situation of Europe prevented the government from reducing the

A division took place , when there appeared , —for the proposition , 182 ; against it , 400 . Paeis . Wednesday . —The 'Moniteur' contains upwards of sixty nominations and promotions in the Older cf the Legion of Honour . Private letters from Cumianlinople of the 25 th tilt , itate that the differences between tbe Russian and Turkish governments still remained unsettled . The Turkish government refuse to expel the Poles who had fixed their residence in Turkey previous to the Hungarian insurrection . Major Rawlinfon had arrived at Constantinople from Bag dad on his way to Eng land .

      ITALY . ROME , Xov . 23 . —Some ladies who , with their families and friends , were carried off by the Roman sbirriaad French gendarmes to prison , for attending a funeral service for the men who fell in the revolution , have been allowed to return , but remain under arrest in their houses , and have been compelled to p ? e a . written promise to receive no visitors ; but the men have been sent to the- common prison amongst the malefactors , although many of them were not in the church where the military funeral service was performed .

      will be prohibited from acting in their profession at \\ A p \ Atic MfittW . MHW . The priests also who assisted the dying Repub . Means have been put in prison , at the disposal of the Cardinal Vicar . The Protestant missionary , Dr . Giacinto Achilli , who was thrown into the dungeons of the Inquisition , but afterwards removed to tbe Castle of St . Angelo through the influence and personal exertions of the Briiish Consul , is still there , and although confined for four months has not yet been examined ! But he is now placed at the disposal of the Inquisition ; and if not liberated before the French quit , be will be doomed , in all probabili t y , to die a lingering death in the prisons of the Inquisition , restored by General Oudinot .

      In tbe order of the day , addressed to the French troops by General Baraguay d'Hilliers , there is an important expression—i . e . t' that they must not consider their mission as at an end ; and that if they should be called upon to meet an enemy in the field , he calculates and can depend upon their courage and discip line . This looks rather warlike . NAPLES , Nov , 24 . A gloom hangs over the Pope ' s camarilla , and despatches from France are looked for with anxiety and fear . His Holiness' gaolers have again changed policy—the prisoner is to remain at Portici or Gaeta until the political atmosp here assumes a clearer aspect .

      Since my last communication his Holiness has again visited churches and convents , rvhich events have been recorded with the usual ecclesiastical flourish in the journals , that no t hing but endless prosper ' r . y and happiness can possibl y attend a people w ! o have received so many blessings from Christ ' s vicegerent on earth . The state trials are still suspended , and as arrests continue , I suppose so many persons have beei / denounced for t heir constitu t ional opinions , it is found necessary to net more game before legal proceedings can begin . Several persons have been shot at Palermo for concealing arras . I cannot give the names , but 1

      kno w they belong to the poorer classes . The island is described to be in a discontented state . A regiment of Swiss has left Naples on that account . I have already alluded to the geiieral disarmi ng of the population which is now taking plaee , but having witnessed lately something of its operation and effects , I think some farther notice of it may ba welcome . In the first place , the most remote nooks are subjected to it , and rocks tenant ed by birds and mariners and a few native sportsman who thur gain their livelihood , are sought out and disarmed b y the lynx-eyed police of Naples . This week General Statella , with a company of mounted gendarmes and several companies of infantry has been

      enforcing this unnecessary and detested measure on the coast from Naples to Massa . The guns are taken , no rece ' p t p iven , and are thus lost to the owners . If refused the recusants are marched off to prison , as happened , I am told , to the district jud ge in one p lace . At Torre del Grec ? , an Eng lishma n ( Mr . Drinkwater ) who has been tstablished in that p lace for ssrae time , on being applied to for his arms positivel y refused to give them up , and referred the general to Mr Temp le as tha ouly person who had any ri ght to interfere . A communication was made to Naples of this fact , and instructions were received to deliver up his arms to a Frenchman who had already consigned them . So that from this t infer

      that the decree does not extend to foreigners . Consistentl y , too , with the demoralised habits both of peop ls and government , this disarming has offered a fine opportunity for the gratification of malice and vindictiveness . Persons have been denounced as having arms which they did not possess , and the denunciation has , as usual , been sucked in with a ready ear , so that the unfortunates in several cases have been compelled to buy guns at a sraailjwice , ann present them , in order to escape threatened castigation or imprisonment . Apropos to this is the case of a coun t , who had a friend whom he treated with great ki ndness and confidence . As a return , the

      friend robbed him , and was immediately dismissed by the court ; but here , so influential is the occupation of the informer , that malice has always a ready niude of gratify ing itself . The count was denounced by bis quondam friend , as having arms and ammunition in his passession ; his house was searched , and he himself thrown into prison , where be lay for a long time , and was liberated , I am t old , only on condition of exib . At Amain " , I was told by an Amalfitano , that , to the annoyance of having their arms taken from them was added , in s u me cases the superfluous insult of a kick from one of the commission , and an order to have their be 2 rds cut off .

      PIEDMONT . —The Risorgimento ' of Turin of the 3 rd announces that Silvio Pellico , the celebrated author , has come forward as a candidate at the next elections of Piedmont , having hitherto kept aloof from all political affairs .

      GERMANY . The Acquittal of Waldeck . —We reported in our last the acquittal of Waldeck . On the verdict being given the defendant was immediatel y surrounded and embraced b y his ancient parliamentary friends aad colleagues , who had remained on purpose to hear the end cf the proceedings . Meanwhile the joyful news bad spread abroad in the immediate neighbourhood of the court , where a iarge concourse of respectable persons were waiting for the decision . Preparations were immediately made for carrying Waideck in triumph to bis home . But tbe lata prisoner , wishing to avo : d anything that might give offence to the authorities , left tbft

      court-house with his friends by aback entrance , and had nearly succeeded in escaping in a coach ready iu wai t ing for him from the noisy demonstrations « fhicti were intended for him , but he was no sooner discovered than tbe whole stream rushed after the carriage . The mob succeeded in arresting its further p rogress when it reached t he bridge on which stands the equestrian statue of the great Elector ; the horses were immediately taken off , and a triumphal procession formed , which proceeded past the Schloss and the palace of the Prince of Prussia , and down the Unter dcr Linden . Hare Waldeck succeeded in escap ing from the honourable ovations which the thousands assembled were casting at his feet . It

      was a scene such as Berlin has not witnessed since the revolution . Very soon , ton , the flying venders oi pamp hlets and papers made their appearance , notwithstanding the ban under which Maiiteuffdl h a s p laced them ard the threats of tbe constables . A ballad , commenced with the words « Waldeck is free , ' was for a short time offered for sale , and t he aris ' ocra ' . ic street of Unter den Linden , during that abort space , bore such an appearauce that one might have believed oneself transported hack to the days of the revolution . But the dark spirit of the great Manteuflvl still hovered over the merry scene , and it had lasted barely an hour when a body of constables in close order swept the streets clean of all

      appearance oi democratic anarchy . That I may not insul t Waldeck by passing at once from his trial to the proceedings of the Second Chamber , I will add here that very important and interesting explanations of the proceedings of the extreme rectionary party are expected to result from the new trial of Ohm . Having had torn from his face the mask of a martyr , it is hoped that Ohm will not hesitate to name the parties who have employed him . The scoundrel did not exhibit to-day the same degree of impudence and carelessness which he d ; splayed on the previous days ; the workings of a disturbed conscience was apparent in every feature of

      bis jia ' e face , and he will no doubt prove himself rascal enoug h to involve in his own destruction those who have destroyed him—that is to say . if be is not more closely watched than be was in ihe house of the faithful , careful , and most honourable president o f police , llerr von Hinkcldey . Berlin , Dec . 4 . —The excitement consequent upon the acquittal of Waldeck , and which pervaded the whole city until late in tbe evening , resulted in some parts iu tumultuous disturbances In the more tfetant parts of the city , which are the virtual strongholds of tbe democratic party , many of the houses •^ ere illuminated in honour of the result of the trial ,

      but the constables forced an entrance into all the houses so illuminated , and extinguished the lights , whereby , of course , t ' . ie most violent struggles occurred , and numerous parties were arrested . In the street , too , in which Waldeck lives , crowds of persons , desirous of testif ying their respect to the acqui tt ed , though iu a somewhat noisy fashion , graduall y collected , and several violent , scenes occurred , in « vhich the armed po * er did " not hesitate to use tbeir side arms . Waldeck was presented this morning with a silver civic crown : the parties by whom this present was made are tbe leaders of the democratic party , of whom a deputation waited upon him for the purpose of presenting him with it .

      Nothing has yet been heard " of the arrest of Goedsche . The impudent vagabond has published a letter to-day in one of the papers , in which he says that he shall not be content with calml y waiting for proceedings to be taken against Mia by the public prosecutor , but that he himself demands an inquiry . SAXONY , —The strength of the democratic part

      Untitled Article

      in the Dresden Chamber is a token that the Saxons ere by no means inclined to abandon without a struggle the ground which they won in 1848 . The political feeling of tbe people in that monarchy is not smouldering as in Prussia , nor indifferent a 3 in Austria , but active and unrepressed . There is i n fact no force there on which the government could depend for carrying out such a system of intimidation as that upheld by the great German , powers . The Saxon military do not regard a laced coat and cross-belt as placing an issuperable barrier between them and tlieir families ; and had not the greater part of the army been absent in Sclileswig-Holstein during tbe affiir of May , the Prussians would hate

      been forced , perhaps , to remain on the ri ght bauk of the Elbe , and the insurgents have triumphed . In the meantime tbe Prussian and Austrian governments regard with equal displeasure a fermentation , which cannot fail to spiead beyond the Saxun border into their respective dominions \ and the occupation of the Bohemian frontier by an Austrian army shows that , in case of an opportunity for intervention , the tabk this time will probably not devolve on Prussia . Of tbe speedy occupation of Saxony by Austrian troops there can hardly remain any doubt , Tbe Chamber will be dissolved , and the black and yellow flag be called in to establish the same regime of terror which reigns-under its auspices in other p laces .

      The snow still continues without abatement . For the whsle week this unprecedented storm has en'lured without pause . The watermills are everywhere stopped . A great number of barges laden with fuel have been icslocked . All night long companies of workmen are in the streets , attended by torchmen , hewing with mattocks at the hardened snow , which is carried off in carts . OLDENBURG . —The Diet of Oldenburg has refu ed , by twenty-two votes against nineteen , to ra t if y its adhesion to the Federal Stale . Tbe ministers have all tendered their resignations , and the Graud Duke has prorogued the Diet to the 28 ih December .

      Beruk , Dec . 3 . —Another note has been addressed to the Prussian government by that of Austria . In it the Austrian government declares that it entertains fears for the public peace of Germany , if the Erfurt parliament should really be assembled , and that it is determined to interfere to prevent any such disturbance of the peace . The note , then , is not directed against the assembly of the Erfurt parliament , but against its probable consequences . I am assured that the Prussian answer is worded

      equally energetically j somewhat to the effect that Prussia sees in the convocation of the Erfurt parliament no t merel y no source of fresh troubles , but , on tbe contrary , the best means of-preserving lasting iranquillity in Germany ; ic declares the fears of Austria to be perfectly unfounded , but supposing even , what is really improbable , that disturbances should arise , Prussia has already shown that , it poasesses the power of restoring peace and order , « ven at a time when Austria was prevented from rendering it any assistance ,

      M . Eichler , one of the leaders of the Democratic parly , who has long been concealed in Berlin , and has escaped the vigilence of the police by an adroit use of disguises and concealed residences , has jus t been arrested . A letter was found on him , referring to the late trial of Waldeck , which it is considered contains treasonable matter . The authorities of several of the towns in the province of Posen have lately observed , with some surprise , that , in sp ite of the . ravages of the cholern among the Jewish population , which it is known suffered severely by the disease , the male members

      of the families did not appear to be decreased in number . This led to some inquiry , and it has been found that the vacancies , as they occurred , were filled up b y an immi gration of Jews from the Kussian territory of Poland , who took the name of the deceased , and lived with the family , of course b y a private agreement . They thus become absorbed among the subjects of Prussia , and escaped the severe Russian military proscri ption , which the Polish Jews detest , and avoid by all possible devices . The number of these substitutedbfor persona known to have died of the cholera is stated at COO .

      Koxigsbkrg . —The trials for political offences here liaie broug h t to li ght another plot against the liberty of the subject . One of the parties accused of high treason , Herr Motzkus , a government official , has been acquitted , as it appeared clearly from the cross-examination of ihe witnesses for the prosecution , that the indictment of the accused , who is a wellkn ow n democra t , wa 3 the result of a formal plot concocted by three members of the Prussian Union . Prussian FiiEEDOM .-The following advertisement appears in one of the Berlin papers : — ' To prot ect my fellow-citizens frcm injury , I think it ri ght to !> ive notice , that for reporting the arrival of ray neph e w J .

      ' balers , thre . fi groschen ; and in default of payment ei g ht days ' imprisonment . —J . G . Stakd , Berlin . ' Nor is this strictness confined lo its relations to the public : the oldest and most severe regulations of the police discipline are enforced occasionall y among its own agents . Even word 3 that can be construed into ' disrespect to the uniform' are severel y punished . A constable last week bad the good fortune t o win 25 , 000 thalers in the lottery ; he was on duty when the news was communicated to him . 1 Then , thank Heaven , ' he said , ' I can throw off this coat ! ' The words were reported , and he is at present undergoing an imprisonment of six weeks as an expiation for forgetting the sacredneis of the roval cloth .

      AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY . Fifteen sentences have been condemned by the military court sitting at Arad : two of the political offenders were sentenced to ten years' fortress arrest , and thirteen to be shot ; the property of all was confiscated . General Haynau has commuted the punishment of death into thirteen years ' confinement in a fortress . The unfortunate men were formerly in the Austrian service . .

In Ratiber and other places the snow has bceen falling for eight days without cessation .

      general op inion here amongst well-informed peop le that the Emperor if Russia intends to allow the difference existing between himself and the Porte to remain unsettled until the spring , when he vrill be able to commence hostilities . At present there is not the slightest prospect of friendly relations being re-established between tbe Sultan and the Czar . It is true that the demand for the extradition of the Hungarian refugees has been given up , and that the Austrian cabinet has even condemned the precipitate manner in which Count Sturmer suspended diplomatic relations with the Porte . But the fresh demand made by the Russian ambassador

      for the expulsion of all Polish refugees resident in Turkey since the revolution of 1830 , is as little likely to be complied with by the Sultan ' s ministers as that made by Prince Radzivil . The refusal of the Porte to expel tbe Polish refugees , as well as the delay it must occasion , was of course fore * seen by the Czar . The note of the Turkish cabinet on the subject bas been sent to St . Petersburg ]] , and six weeks or two months will elapse before M . de Titoff can receive fresh instructions from his government . In the meantime , di plomatic relations continue to be suspended between the allied imperial powers and the Porte . The same irritation

      and anxiety prevail as before , and the Turks continue jvith the same energy their preparations for defence . As I mentioned in a former letter , M , de Titoff objected strongly to the presence of the British fleet in the Dardanelles . He said it was a violation of lie treaty , and that the renewal of friendly relations between the Porte and Russia was utterly impossible whilst Sir Wra . Parker remained in the Straits with his squadron . The French and English ambassadors have , from the commencement of the present question , advised the Porte to adopt as conciliatory a tone as possible towards Russia , and to avoid all measures calculated to cause

      unnecessary irritation . The Turkish ministers , therefore , showed a willingness to make any concessions , consistent with national digait ' y , which would facilitate the renewal of diplomatic relations between this country and the allied imperal powers . In this they met with the concurrence of the representatives of England and France . Aa a preliminary step , Sir Stratford Canning consented to the withdrawal of the British fleet from the Dardanelles . The British ambassador wrote to that effect to Sir William Parker , and the admiral a few days since sailed from the Straits and anchored outside . Sir Stratford has visited the fleet at its

      present station , and bas had a long conference with the Commander-in-chief . Alter every concession made to the Russian envoy , he raises new ob - stacles , which prevent an amicable arrangement ; M . de Titoff ' s object , indeed , seems at present to b « , to keep up the irritation eaused by Prince Radmil ' s mission . He now boasts of having driven the British fleet from the Dardanelles , of having forced the . English , wx&aasft&wr to cwwent to Ws demands , whilst at the same time he treats the Turkish government with utter contempts He refuses to re-establish diplomatic relations , and yet when it pleases him he has interviews with the grand

      vizier and the minister of forei gn affairs , and has conferences with the representatives of powers in friendly relation with Turkey , and all this with the ceremony and etiquette of an accredited ambassador in the full exercise of his functions . He made a very angry complaint the other day , because Kossuth and his fellow refugees had made , a sort of t riump hial entry , into Shumla . The guard presented arms as the refugees entered the town , and the military bands played and flags were flying as on days of a high festival . This enthusiastic mark of s y mpath y from the garrison of Shumla , for Kossuth and his companions , has given great displeasure to the Russian ambassador , and , thoug h he has not renewed di plomatic relations , yet he

      demands an explanation , The Tutkislv ministers , do not seem disposed to give any exp lanation , and here , therefore , is another and not very * trifling cause for deepening the already existing misunderstanding . The Porte is justified in refusing the explanation which M . de Titoff demands , as they cannot recognise his official character in the present state of relations ; and the haughty tone in which th ? demand was made did not much incline them to adopt a faltering manner towards the Russian envoy . From the conduit of M . de Titoff , since t he a r rival of Fuad Effendi ' s despatches , containing an account of his interview with the Czar , it will be seen that there ? s good foundation for the opinion that the Emperor Nicholas ' bides his

      time . The ' Wanderer ' ef Vienna publishes a letter from Constantinople , dated the 21 st of November , from which we extract the following : — ' Russia now demands that Bern , and all Poles who have turned Mahomedans , shall not onl y be sent away from the frontier , and not admitted to active employment , but that they shall be arrested and treated as prisoners . The Porte , in reply to this demand , states in Bimple and decisive terras that tbe above persons , by their convertion to the Islam faith , were not onl y under the protection of the Tmkish government , but had become subjects

      of the Porte , which alone had the ri ght to give orders respecting them . This reply , which bad been communicated to the English and French , ambassadors , was sent to MM . Titoff and Sturmer , the Russian and Austrian ambassadors . M . de Titoff returned the document , with the following marginal note :- « The word expulsion and not removal must be applied to the Polish refugees . ' Ali Pacha refused compliance , and intimated as much to the French aud English ambassadors . At the same time he forwarded M . de Titoff ' s marginal not * s to Fuad Effendi , the Turkish envoy to St . P .: tersburgh , with instructions to state that the Porte could not accede to them . '

Posen , Dec . 2 . —We have received tbe following i n telli gence from the kingdom of Poland : —The export of grain , with ihe exceptions of wheat and peas , is prohibited from the kingdom of Poland after the 1 st December . There can be no question this measure is adopted for the purpose of furnishing supplies at a cheaper rate to the large Russian army now in the kingdom . In the empire itsilf no regulation of the kind has yet been passed . In the second place , the city of Kelesch is to be fortified and converted into a station of the first rank

      MILITARY EXECUTION IN INDIA . Peshawur , Oct . 9 , 1849 The sentence of death passed upon private Benjamin Alexander Mossraan , of the 1 st Bombay European Regiment , Fusiliers , was carried into effect yesterday ; morning st sunrise , on the parade-ground of that regiment . Nothing could surpass the mournful solemnity of the ceremony throughout . The whole of the troops at Peshawur were assembled there , and formed t ' . iree sides of a square , as follows;—Right Face of Square—Bengal Horse Artillery ; Bengal and Borabay Foot Artillery ; 1 st Bengal Light Cavalry ; 31 st and 70 th Regiments N . I ., Sappers and Minners ,

      Bengal and Bombay . Left Face of Square- —Bombay Horse Artillery ; Scinde Irregular Horse ; 13 th Irregular Cavalry ; 3 rd and 19 th Regiments Bombay native infantry . Centre Face—Her Majesty ' s 60 th Rifles ; 1 st Bombay European Regiment , Fusiliers ; her Majesty ' s 61 st Regiment . All mounted corps paraded on foot , and the troop 3 were directed to march to the place without music , and in returning home nene to be played till the rear of the reg iment was 200 yards from the scene of execution . The whole had not been long formed up when the prisoner appeared—a man of pleasing and intelligent appearance , and attired in tbe usual undress of the

      reg iment . His arras were fastened behind him ; a man was on each side of him . On coming to the square , the procession moved slowly along the front of the whole—the bandof the regiment playing the Dead March in Saul—in the following order : —Provost-Marshal ; band of the regiment ; coffin , covered with black , and borne on the shoulders of four men ; half the escort ; the prisoner , supported by a man on either side of him ; and last , the other half of the escort : the whole presented a roost mournfull y grand sight to the spectator . It was wonderful to see with what firmness he marched , and the fortitude of manner displayed by him the whole time . Having marched all round , be took up his station in front of

      the gallows , while the coffin was laid before him ; when the brigade-major proceeded to read his crime and the sentence of the court-martial , in an audible tone—and afterwards tbe warrant for his execution . When all was finished , he was conveyed behind where he ascended the platfora by me ^ ns ' of a ladder , the provost-marshal followed , who proceeded , according to bis instructions , and placed a white cap over his face . The prisoner having , with uplift eyes to heaven , breathed a prayer , was launched into eternity . The drop was not great , and he strugg led a little ; but in two minutes all was over , and life ex t inc t ! The t roop s ma r ch e d past the body , and then moved off to their respective quarters .
