      FRANCE . Pabis . — The committee of permanence held a sitting on Thursday which wasnumeroasljr attended , and presided over by M . Dupin . Interpellations were addressed to the Minister of the Interior upon the organiiaiion and proceedings of the Society of the Dix-Decembre , and a vehement debate took place on this subject .

Out of eigh yfive departments ( that of the Seme meets at a latter period ) sixty-four have deliberated on the revision of the constitution . But all the councils in which the question has been brought forward have not decided in favour of the revision . The Courner de 1 ' Isere' publishes the following telegraphic despatch from General Castellane , at Lyons , to the Prefect of the Isere : < Order is re-established in the canton of Loriol .

      The disarming directed with intelligence and firmnesB by Chef-de Batallion Olivier , of the 32 nd regiment of the line , is readily effected . The women themselves bring the arms to the Maine . Some revelations have been obtained . A part of the guilty men have taken refuge in the department of the Ardecbe . The northern cantons of the Drome and the communes adjoining the department of the Vauclnse are now tranquil . '

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

      Dim . M . Leon Faucher has arrived in Paris . At a dinner , given in his honour on the 15 th inst by the Prefect of Limoges , M . Faucher replied to a toast proposing his own health by an eulogy of the President and his government , which is significant as a conspicuous instance of an Orleanist embracing Bonapartism . The Refugees in England . —It is reported that General Lahitte bad addressed a note to the English government on the subject of French refugees , over whose machinations he demands a strict surveillance on the part of the British authorities . Serious damage has been occasioned in Perpignan by an inundation . The bridge over the river Basse has been swept away . Two men have been arrested at Perieueux on a

      charge of incendiarism . A journeyman tanner has been arrested at Barsor-Aube on a charge of having conspired to as * sassinate the President of the Republic at Strasburg . The director of the ' Siecle , was sentenced by the Paris Assize Court on Saturday to three months ' imprisonment and 2 , 000 f . fine for an article tending to excite hatred and contempt of the Government . Saturday . —The main object of attention in the political world to day is a circular of the legitimist party , of which a vast number of copies have been struck off and sent for distribution into the departments , by the care of M . Barthelemy ,

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

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

      M . deLarochejacquelin has addressed a letter to the leading legitimist papers , insisting upon the necessity of recognising the national will as the base of all sovereignty , and showing that this doctrine h not new , but has always been the rule in France . Sunday , —The geromi of the Siecle' was yesterday found guilty of a libel on the President of the Republic , and condemned to three months' imprisonment and a fine of 2 , 000 fr . The libel consisted in stating that the vegetables from the gardens of St . Cloud were supplied to the President for the use of the Elysee without being paid for . It i 3 assarted that the Prefect of Police ha 3 determined to interdict every ascension in a balloon which is not intended for a scientific object , and ,

      consequently , all such dangerous ascensions as are given as a spectacle . Monday . —The press is occupied to day with judging the "Wiesbaden manifesto and the reply of M . Larochejacqaelin . The ' Union ' is anxious to explain away the official character of the first document , which it affects to regard simply as a confidential communication by M . de Barthelemy to the legitimist electoral committees touching the Count of Chambord ' s sentiments on the subject of an appeal to the people . The ' Assemblee Nationale , ' organ of the fusionists , is extremely reluctant to admit the offieial character of the circular , which ,

      if recognised , would operate in cooling the tendencies of that paper in favonr of legitimacy . Sure Orleanist paper , like the Debats / instead of helping the partisans of the elder branch to hide the unlucky tear in their policy which has been revealed by this blundering publication , charitably insert their fingers to make it larger , and insinuate with contemptuous pity the incorrigibility of the old periwi g school of gentlemen-usher statesmen who wait upon the princes of the elder house , and the impossibility of a restoration in that sense . The ministerial press is silent . The chief assailant of the manifesto is of course the ' Gazette de

      France , ' which has advocated the appel au peuple , so strongly condemned by the Count of Chambord's exponent , M . de Barthelemy . The editor of that paper , M . de Lourdoueix , has started for Frohsdorf to gange the amount of official countenance given to the circular at head-quarters . On the whole it is manifest that in the great body of legitimists this untoward publication ha s caused great disgust and vexation , particularly 83 regards the revelation

      of the names destined to figure in the legitimist cabinet , if the cause slouid ever triumph . M . de Barthelemy , whose name is attached to the circular , has been five years secretary of the electoral committee of the Rig ht . Hence the evasion which would pass off the whole affair as an electoral instruction . The name of De Bartbelemy has produced much confusion . It turns out that the signer of the circular is the secretary of M . de St . Prie 3 t .

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

      M . Hocbgesant , the director of one of the numetous joint stock companies for California , called the Californienne , has just been arrested on a charge of breach of trust as regards the shareholders .

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

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

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

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

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

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

      Sep . 15 . —M . Pinelli has obtained , by the intercession of M . de Rayneval , a second interview with his Holiness . He is said to have proposed on the part of his government the following singular arrangement of the differences with respect to the archbishop ' s imprisonment : —The Kings of Piedmont have enjoyed from time immemorial the privilege of presenting a cardinal for nomination at tbe consistories held for electing members to tbe sacred college . Victor Emannnel is to propose at the consistory of the 21 st Monsignor Franzoni , provided his Holiness recall that prelate from the Archbishopric of Turin . This , at least , is the report credited here . An increase of public taxes will soon be ordered by the government . Every individual exercising liberal arts , shopkeepers , &c , will have to pay so much per annum . The duty on salt will also be augmented .

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

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

      over to the competent authorities the regimental funds , consisting of 24 , 000 dollars . His brother , who made interest for him to be allowed to stay at Rome , was assured that he should not be molested , but , notwithstanding this promise from a high quarter , the colonel , who was so unwell as to be unable to fly , was lately arrested as the commander of a Republican Corps , taken to the Castle of St . Angelo , and condemned to twenty years of the gallies . A literary man of great merit , Si g nor Gig li , well known in Italy as the author of tho ' Artigianelle , ' Biblioteoa delle famiglie , ' and other useful popular works , has been placed in solitary confinement for no other orime than that of having

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

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

      'Death to PioNino Mazzini For ever TheBepublieis The mildest government The most infamous government Is that of the priests Sown with Priestly power The dominion of the people Forever . ' Reading straig ht down we find 'Death to Mazzini , ' &e ., but reading through both divisions we have 'Death to Pio Nino , Mazzini for ever , ' and so The Italians rejoice hi the humiliation with which Marshal Haynau met in London , and , mindful of the atrocious horrors committed at Brescia , by his sanguinary orders , regret that the brewers did not inflict still severer punishment upon him .

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

      Untitled Article

      lative to the stamp duty , and that the public records bad been burned by the people . ' Tobin , Sept . 18 . —The' 'Croce di Savoia ' announces that six bishops having assembled at Villenovetta , resolved to adopt an humble address to the Pope , praying his Holiness to sanction the laws of Siccardi . The papers of Sardinia of the 14 th announce that all the prelates in that island , with the exception of the Bishop of Cagliari , were ready to Bubmit to thft orders of the government . . The Archbishop 'has been arrested , and his trial will follow the same regular course followed for that of Franzoni , the Archbishop of Turin . j- > - ^ ^ —

      NAPLES Sept . 11 . —Pnr . iflR Prrsecutions . — Every day continues to add to the number of victims who for the last ten months have been dragged from their homes by the midnight gendarmes andsbirrithrown into prison , and many up to the present day are ignorant of their crimes . Advices from Turin announce than [ M . Pinelli , who had been sent on a special mission to the Pope , had not succeeded in his mission , and was on the eve of returning to the Sardinian capital . LOMBARDY .

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

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

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

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

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

      Sep . 21 . —No change has taken place in the state of affairs at Casael . The peace has not been interrupted for a single moment , and there has been no popular demonstration of any kind tending to authorise compulsory measures , native or foreign .

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

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

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

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

      indictment against whom was dismissed by the general auditoriat yesterday . It is stated that before setting out for Hanover tbe Elector and Hassenpflug exchanged high words ; the former was fain to give way , after Hassenpflug had exclaimed , ' Very well ; then let your Royal Highness pay me , and I will go . ' In front of the Leipsig-gate , through which the Elector passed to go to Hanover , stands a handpost , with the inscription 'To Muenden . ' Some wag has written underneath , ' To Bockenheim , ' in commemoration of the Prince ' s circuitous route . '

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

      The result of the municipal elections has been published to-day , and is in the highest degree important . The Constitutional party has gained a signal victory ; of forty-eight members . A letter from Fulda , of the 19 th , says ;—1 The council and senate of this city have resolved to indict Mackenrodt , the burgermeister , for publishing the ordinance imposing the state of siege , and for issuing , at tbe instigation of Gen . Schirmer , an order suppressing the local journal . ' A letter from Hanau , of the 19 th , states that ' Hassenpflug , Haynau , and Baumbach have taken up their quarters in the Elector ' s palace , in the neighbouring suburb of Wilhelmsbad , Their dwelling is guarded by 100 soldiers . The ministerial bureaux are to be established in the old townhouse . '

      On the 20 th inst ., when Lord Cowley , the British Plenipotentiary , was entering Frankfort , on his return from Wilhelmsbad , it so happened that he was accompanied by a Hessian officer on horseback , who rode at the side of his Lordship ' s carriage . This circumstance caused him to be mistaken for the Elector , and a crowd of people , surrounding his carriage , addressed , his Lordship wjth the most in-

      Untitled Article

      sulting and abusive epithets , shouting , Take the dog out ! Kick him down ! Knock him on the head ! ' But no act of violence of the kind was committed , and the identity of the British Ambassador being established , Lord Cowley was allowed to depart amidst the violent cheers of the crowd . A Frankfort letter , of the 21 st , says : — ' Yesterday afternoon the Elector ventured to show himself here , and spent several hours with the Austrian Ambassador and other members of the Austrian diet , after which he returned to Wilhelmsbad . We are mamm ———""*

      all astonished by a report , which derives a certain degree of authenticity from its origin , that negotiations are in progress for a joint intervention of Prussia and Austria in HeBBe . It is impossible to conceive of Prussia entering into any such proposition without renouncing the idea on which her en'ire foreign and domestic policy has since March , 1848 , proceeded . ' We hear to-day , on pretty good authority , that an Austrian jager battalion is marching from Bohemia to enter Hesse ,

      HESSE-DARMSTADT . Darmstadt , Sept . 16 . —To-day , again , the sitting of the Chamber was ungraced by the presence of any one member of the cabinet . Probably M . Dalwigk is satisfied with the laurels gained by his opening address , and now devotes himself exclusively to foreign affairs . M . Frank withdrew his motion for strengthening the finance committee , very much to the surprise of the Chamber . In the Second Chamber , on the 21 st , M . Muller-Melcbior brought up the report of the finance committee on the resolutions moved by the minister on the first day of the session , prolonging tbe grant of

      taxes to tbe end of 1850 . The report refused the financial measures of the government , denounces a number of abuses , and defends the right of the Chambers respecting supplies , a right which the government bad attempted to under-estiroate . The committee advise the Chamber to decline the government proposition , and not to renew tbe permission to collect more taxes in the present relations of the Parliament and ministry . The committee recommend the Chamber to declare that certain provisions of the constitution have been violated by the acts c ( the government , and to present a solemn protest against those acts , in the name of the nation ..

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

      DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . Hamburg , Sept . 18 . —There has been no renewal of righting since the so-called successful achievements of the 12 th and 13 th . The Holsteiners occupy the same positions which they held prior to their

      advance . A private letter , of the 18 th , gives the follawing particulars of an engagement of gun-boats , which took place on the morning of the 17 th off the Island of Fohr : < We left the Island of Fohr after six Danish gun-boats and a steamer had arrived there and landed 500 infantry . It was about five o ' clock ; and , as a dead calm was prevailing , we were compelled to get the commander of the steamer Kiel to take us in tow .

      ' We had not proceeded far when we perceived the Danish boats and the steamer already making towards us . We made for the other Bide of the shallows , and they were compelled to desist from the pursuit . When we had got about a mile from the shore we saw a second Danish Steamer ,, the Geyser , pursuing us . We prepared for action , and within about half an hour the Geyser was within range of our guns . The fight began about eleven o ' clock . Our gun-boat No . 4 greeted tbe steamer with a bomb . The answer was a broadside , not one ball of which did us the least damage . The six first of our bombs fell into the steamer , and after the fifth it was plainly perceivable that the

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

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

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

      been afloat for some days ; one was that the duke would head a deputation to the Queen on the occasion of the celebration of tbe birthday of the prince royal , insisting upon the removal of the Count de Tliomar from office ; and that , in the event of refusal , a rising was immediately to take place , depose the Queen , proclaim the Empress regent , and a marriage would ultimately take place between the Queen ' s eldest son and the Empress ' s daughter ; thereby cutting the thread of all the Count de Thomar ' s projected notions of the union of the two countries by a marriage with Montpensier ' s daughter . The court was alarmed , and at a council the arrest of Saldanha was debated ; but nothing has been done as yet in the matter .

      The troops have for some time past been ready in their quarters for any emergency ; and it is said tbe King sent for Don Carlos de Mascarenhas , the commandant of the municipal guard , and asked him if he could depend upon them . Don Carlos told him the guard could be depended on as far as the peace of the city was concerned : but if the Duke de Saldanha headed any movement , he could not Bay what would be the conduct of the guard . AU these things are asserted with confidence .

      TURKEY . . - -.. The Hungarian Refugees . —By a letter from Constantinople of the 3 rd , it appears that accordto the convention between the Porte , Russia , and Austria , the Porte engaged to keep under its guard the Hungarian refugees for a year , conceiving that period to begin from the time when they sought refuge in the Ottoman territory , unless the tranquillity of Hungary was anew troubled within that period . But as everything is tranquil in the Austrian monarchy , and as the term expires this month , the Porte has manifested the intention of restoring Kossuth and his companions io liberty . For that purpose , measures were taken to place at the disposal of the refugees a state vessel to transport them to England or even America ; and a sum of 500 piastres ( I 25 f . ) was to be distributed to each

      man at the moment of his landing , to provide for his wants . These arrangements , however , frightened the Austrian government , and within these last few days M . de Klezl , its Chargl d'Affaires at Constantinople , delivered a note in which it pretonds that the term of a year is to commence running from the time when they were removed into the interior , and protests , against tho liberation of the refugees . The Porte replied with energy , and at present negotiations are going on with equal warmth on both sides . In an extraordinary oounoil just held here , it was decided that the pretensions of Austria were ill-founded , and could not be admitted ; so the matter rests . The Chargi d'Affaires awaits fresh instructions from his court ; and , on its side , the divan appears resolved not to yield . It has applied to tho repreaentatiyea of France and England for advice .

      The principal item of general news is the increasing excitement connected with Jenny Lind ' s appearance before the New York public . The first concert was to come off on the evening of the steamer ' s departure , and consequently we have no details but up to the period of her leaving the port . Five thousand tickets had been sold , producing 30 , 000 dols . Some changes have lately taken place amongst the government officials in Canada . The retirement of Mr . Justice Rowland from the bench created a vacancy , which has been filled up by the appointment of the Attorney-General , Mr . Lafontaine , who is succeeded in office by the Solicitor-General , Mr . Drummond . .

      There are later dates from Rio Janeiro m our present advices . These are brought down to the 29 th of July , at which time the greatest excitement prevailed araonjfBt the populace , which was finding rent in all manner of excesses towards British residents . An attack was also apprehended on the part of General Rosas . Troops were being concentrated at Rio , Several foreigners who had been mistaken for Englishmen had been attacked and severely bandied in the public streets . The British cruisers still continued to capture vessels bearing the Brazilian flax and engaged in the slave trade .

      We have political news from Washington of a later date than that given above . The Fugitive Slave Bill had passed the House of Representatives by a majority of thirty-four .

      INDIA AND CHINA . BOMBAY , Aug . 5 . —India continues tranquil throughout . The civil war in the Nizam ' s territory has been terminated by the result of a battle fought at Akote on the 20 th of July , in which the Nizam ' s troops utterly defeated and dispersed those of the refractory Nawab of Ellichpore . Another explosion of an ordnance flotilla occurred on the Ganges , near Chuprah , on the 10 th of July . The fleet consisted of about thirty boats , of which upwards of half were loaded' with gunpowder . Twelve boats are lost—seven with 1 , 800 barrels of powder on board , exploded , and five sunk . The crews discovered the fire in time , and escaped . Suspicion attaches to the native boatmen , from the

      circumstances of their having received their pay in advance at Dinapore , and having all escaped injury . An outrage most disgraceful to the civilised character of the district has occurred at Alipore , in the immediate neighbourhood of Calcutta ; it originated in some Sepoys of the Alipore Militia ( off duty ) having got a well-deserved thrashing from the inhabitants of that locality for insulting respectable women of the place . The Sepoys fled to their lines for assistance , whereon their comrades turned out , and proceeded to treat Alipore and its inhabitants as if it had been an enemy ' s town taken by storm . The court of inquiry appointed to report on the conduct of the Sikh state prisoners at Allahabad have come to the conclusion that a plot existed for the rescue of the Attarree Sirdars .

      There has been another lull in the monsoon , and complaints of want of rain are general throughout Upper , Central , and Western India . The discussion on Mr . Bright ' s motion has excited much interest in India . Tbe local press generally advocate the appointment of a cotton

      commission . CHINA . Hong Kong , July 24 . —Her Majesty ' s screw propeller sloop Reynard , Captain Cracroft , arrived here from the mouth of the Peiho river on the 17 th . She was the bearer of the letter from the Queen , or , as some suppose , Lord Palmerston , to the Emperor , previously alluded to . The letter was delivered to Mandarins , who came down from Teen-Sign , a town about nine miles from tbe mouth of the Peiho ( 100 from Pekin ) , and who gave a receipt for the letter , not couched , however , in the most courteous language . They were told , we understand , that all communications must be made , as formerly , through the Viceroy at Canton , to whom an answer would be sent , and to whom therefore they were referred .

      Sickness among the European troops has been on the increase , as many as 160 men have been in the hospital at one time , and about thirty-five have died of fever .

      PORT PHILLIP Our accounts from Melbourne extend to June 10 th . In addition to the mineral discoveries formerly noticed , we observe that lead ore had been met with .

      Hobart Town journals to the beginning of June notice an improved condition of the financial and commercial prospects of the colony . M'Manus , the state prisoner , has obtained permission to reside in Launceston . Mr . John Frost , the chartist , had been lecturing in Hobarfc Town on the evidences of Christianity . The unpaid magistracy were about to exhibit to the local govenor their disapproval of the steps taken in reference to the system of transportation . The Launceston Examiner gives currency to the rumour that no inconsiderable number of the unpaid magistrates

      are prepared to resign office . It is said they will act in concert , and distinctly declare that they cannot , as honourable men , act longer under a government , whioh has proved recreant to its promises , insulted the entire body of colonists , and degraded the community in the eyea of the world , by _ the continuance of transportation . Nor can this be wondered at . After years of remonstrance against the practice , the colonist have been forced to accept the Neptuno ' s cargo of felons driven from the shores of another country . A solemn declaration and appeal has been made by the colonists to the British nation on this subject .

      The Crops . —The rain which has fallen during tho week has done immense service to the pasture land . Tho green crops have also derived great benefit from it , as they were materially injured by the dry weather . Save in a few districts of the country all the corn is stacked in the haggards , and in the best condition . The dry weather since August has operated favourably on the potatoes , and complaints are not so prevalent as formerly . — Dundalk Democrat . —la the early part of the week we had some heavy rains ; yesterday was beautifully fine , and this day promises a continuance of dry weather . Much rain now would be very injurious to the potato , especially thoee descriptions most susceptible of the disease , such as lumpers , &o . The corn crops are gathering in fast , and new oatmeal becoming abundant . There is an immense failure in wheat . —Western Star .
