Notwithstanding the erasure of a num
ber ol names from our packet book, (hi
ring the past year, our subscription list is
BO larger than it was on the Ist March,
ISSI. During that time but six persons
itave directed their papers to be stopped,
while the number of erasures voluntarily
made—principally persons residing out of
this county—exceeded forty. From litis it
appears that 142 names have been placet!
on our books during the year, without any
efforts on our part to increase the list.
V, oh but few exceptions—a-tttl we hope
these lew will soon learn that it is hcttt r
to pay one dollar in advance, than §2
it the end of the year—our subscribers
are punctual in their payments, and we
believe that we have now the best paving
list in the Juniata valley, vviih a fair share
of advertising. Last year we didn't cre
ate a dollar of debt, but paid off* some old
scores—paid cash for paper, and all other
expenses, whether in the household or of
fice—and at the end of the vear had a five
or two left, and didn't care a button for
l andlord, sheriff*, or constable. So much

EMJLAND —The war fever seems to be sub
siding. Louis Napoleon continues to give the
fullest announcement that an invasion of Eng
land is about the last thing ho thinks of.
Mnzzini, the Italian patriot, addressed the
friends of Italy at Freemason's tavern, in Lon
don, on the evening of the lltli inst. He
thought that if the English capitalists and loun
mongers would hut give a little ot that mate
rial aid they were daily sending to despotic
powers, the cause ol Human freedom would,
ere long, be triumphant.
FRANCE. — We read in-the Courtier de Mar
seille: A commencement of insurrection has
taken place in the department of the Hard, ihe
Herault. and the Ardeche. Large masses of
persons assembled round the prisons to set the
persons in confinement at liberty, and the troops
were obliged to fire on them. The details are
wanting.
A rumor was current this day, which, if well
founded, would be anything but agreeable. It
had reference to the .-tute of feeling in certain
districts ot Belgium, as also some regitt ems of
the Belgian army. If these rumors can be de
pended on they would imply that a feeling un
favorable to their own government, and too fa
vorable to France, is apparent There is rea
son to believe that something not of an ordinary
nature is going on with respect to the relations
of France ant! Germany and the powers gener
ally.
The Queen of Spain has made a present
to our Lady of Atocha of the mantle she wore
on the day she was stabbed, and which was

Alerino, the assassin, declared in the pres
ence of the governor of the prison, and of sev
eral persons, that lie had no accomplices.
SWITZERLAND. —The Swiss journals men
tion that the government of the Republic is in
a state of great alarm on account ola new note
which has keen sent to it by the French Gov
ernment. The latter not only insists on the
expulsion of all the French refugees who are
suspected of plotting against the govern
ment cf their country—te which demand the
Swiss Government at once, and without the
slightest hesitation, gave its consent —but itiu
-ists on the Swiss government closing all lilt
ions, and on its employing energetic measures
against any popular manifestations which have
been got up m that country for the purpose of
forcing the government to hive new elections.
It is said that the French M mister ot Foreign
Affair- lias intimated to the Swiss Minister re
sident in Paris, tiial great as is the interest
which the President feels in the Helvetic re
public, he cannot avoid if his counsels should
not be followed, coining to an arrangement
with Austria and Prussia with a view to their
coming to an understanding with respect to the
adoption of joint coercive measures fbr the pur
pose of keeping down the democractie spirit in
Switzerland.
ROME, Feb 4th.—The night before last, a

tra! part of Rome, when he was stabbed from

He hud not even time to make use of a pistol
with which he was armed, but dmpjed to the
ground almost instantaneously. Tour French
soldiers carried him to the guard house. The
dagger was found broken in the wound, which
passed through the back, and it could only be
extricated by a surgical instrument.
GERMANY. —Great distress prevails, in conse
quence of dearth, in east and west Prussia, Si
lesia, and the neighborhood of Krfurt, where
there lias been an inundation. The Thuringi
an town Suiii, inhabited by very expert gun
maker-, is also in the utmost distress for want
ot work. If Kngli.-h merchants knew that

introduced a hill to organize the local inalitia.
The fear of a French invasion still prevailed,
and was bv no means limited to the lower
(•lasses. The llritish squadron in the '1 agus has
been recalled by Government, and is to compose
part of a fleet to cruise in the channel, consist
ing of 15 ships of the line, Id frigates and 15 or

made, the noble Lord left the House.
FRANCK. —France was perfectly tranquil,
't he approaching elections were the absorbing
topics of conversation and excited great intcrst.
It is still affirmed that President Napoleon
lias designs upon Belgium. He has also made
demands upon the Swiss Government for the
suppression ot the clubs and the banishment ol
the. refugees. The Swiss Government has re
fused to accede and claimed the intervention of
Great Britain.
The correspondent of the London Daily
News states that some great movement may be
expected in Paris on the 22d ot February, atid
orders have been issued to the various Generals
to lie prepared for the emergency.
In Austria, Belgium, Italy and the other Con
