:•••• The Foreign News.
~. The news which we give this morning is highly
interesting : though it must, in some of its particu
„tars, we doubtliot, be received with considerable
allowance. We think it strange, at least, if any of
the delegates chosen to represent the People in the
national convention are monarchists; and still more
strange if such men as Rollin, Pages, and Marrast,
are dufeated. If, however, this shall have been the
case, there is much more reason to fell that the Peo
..
pie of France will be again imposed upon, than that
they will - enj , ii the blessings of that "Equality,
.Liberty, and Fraternity," to attain which they drove
Louis Philippe from power:
The details which we now give, failed to reach us
in time fur our paper of yesterday.

Oar canals will become a desert: our rail-roads
cease to transport merchandise: our workshops will
ciesea : y our forges and our trip hammers cease
}f.to- give employment to industrious workmen: our
happy country become one vast scene of want and
- su:nl Such was the language of Federal prophets
theryear 'E.46, in view of the passage of the
, * ever memorable! Tariff law of that year, secured to
tie 'country by the manly daring, the true patriot
''.ism, the calm clear-sightedness of a ravel-Re son of
Pennsylvania, the Hon. GEORGE M. DALLAS. And
. ';`knch, so far as one branch of the industry of Penn
is concerned, has been the aspiration rt.
:.the leading Federalor&an of Western Pennsylvania.
our neighbors of the Gazette, look over their
lachrynose article of April Ist, 1848, and
'thenread the following extract from a letter, to the
editors of the Pennsytranion, dated on the 11th of
month, froni the midst of one of the most eaten_
'' 'sive, and productive, and flourishing iron and coal re•
:::4ions 'of the State. Let them read this, and ark
themselves how'much reliance they can expect the
People to place on their statements—such as were
•
made on the
have just returned to my home after a visit to
Witkesharre. The North Branch canal Is in fine or-
C-:_der,;and already' doing a very large coal and iron
business, being an increase over any former Sear.
4. The furnaces in that extensive iron region are
in fell blast—and the proprietors candidly admit that
-limy will shortly be able to manufacture s pigs > as
eheaply ita in any part of the world ; coal, ore and
. ;: - .Bitiestone, are produced in inexhaustible quantities,
! :and are brought to the Works by short conveyance
Ana the North BrAnch Canal.
'U To this flattering prospect in the Mineral world,
"ma be added one equally pleasing to the farmer,
and dßasequentli to the entire community. The
2irbeah, - though rather thin in wet grounds, could not
generally look mine healthy and vigorous, and there
":IS:not.only in valley of the Susquehana, but through
oat :.; ou Pennsylvania, the fairest prospect for an over
: %, , orheiming crop—irye, oats and grass, all promise
xelh as the country has recently been visited by most
7.4efreihing rains.
rr Politically , Oe prospect is equally cheering—
. the late glorious events in Europe having given in
- creased ener g y to the Democracy: which always sym
....psthises with theirights of the people and the cause
'`.of humanity, the world over.
The picture may seem flattering to our State
"trirlq, but the prUsperity of this community cannot
ertoo highly appreciated. Nothing alarms us but
: , --p:thebetasional etplosion of a Bank, which, howev
..,..lrt,being. a natural consequence of the present en

ARRIVAL OF
niE-•
1-qe. •\ SHIP
CAMBRIA!
SEVEN' DAYS LAVER FROM EUROPE.
The British steamer Cambria arrived at New York
on the 14th, in 14 days and 1S hours from Liverpool.
Her dates are, from Liverpool to April 29, from Lon_
don to the evening of the' 28th.
The steamship Hermann was to leave Southamp
ton for New York, Saturday May 6th. The United
States was advertised to sail on Wednesday, May
17th.
LONDON, April 28th.
The very unfavorable state of the weather for ag
ricultural operations for so many weeks past, has
at engthened the wheat market, but there is not
much business doing.
No improvement has taken place in the aspect of
the fields; the wheat plant is very generally of a yel
low and unhealthy color. That there remains suffi
cient wheat in the country to carry us on to next
harvest, we have no doubt.
The state of Ireland attracts just now more than
ordinary interest. It is seen that a critical period
has arrived, when it must be decided one way or o
ther, whether the government has, or has no:, the
po\ver at once, and effectively, to restrain the ille
gal proceedings of a few leaders or the Irish Repeal
party; and whether it be possible to repress the tur
bul'rnt passions of the masses excited by the daring
language of such men as Mr. Mitchell.
The English Stock Market is very quietand steady
this morning, being uninfluenced by the accounts
from Ireland and the continent.
The Danish war with Germany, in defence of the
provinces of Holstein and Schleswig, has greatly
changed the character of mercantile dealings through
out :he countries interested in the subject, and un
less the mediation of England speedily reconciles
the contending states, British commerce must be
vastly benefited by the rupture. The German trade
will, while the war lasts, he carried on in English
bottoms, and must prove of infinite benefit to our
shipowners, who, from the otherwise general stag
nation of trade, must in many cases scarcely know
how to employ their vessels.
At Hamburg, it is announced that all German
vessels will be stopped in Danish ports. and an em
bargo laid on all Prussian vessels. The Danish gov
ernment had already seized on• 30 Prussian provi
sion transport-ships, lying in the harbor of Copenha
gen, and cruisers had captured and brought into port
several other Prussian vessels. With respect to
Hamburg and Lubec their neutrality, however, would
be respected, so long as those states did not side
againsLpenmark. The ships of Hanoier are per
mittedlb pass the Sound without molestation.
THE AMERICAN STEAM-SHIP UNITED STATES.—
This, thefirst paddle-wheel American steamer which
has ever entered the Mersey, arrived on Saturday
afternoon, at half-past four, after a rapid trip from
New York of thirteen days fifteen hours. The Uni
ted States is commanded by Captain Hackstaff, and
she brought over 47 passengers, who presented the
captain with a very flattering written testimonial of
their entire satisfaction with the praisworthy conduct
of himself, his officers, and crew, and with the per
formance of the vessel, which they think cannot be
excelled by any steam-ship afloat. We understand
she is destined for the New York .and Havre line,
her owners being about to conclude a contract with
the United States Government to carry the mails be
tween those ports.—Liverpool chronicle April 29.
IRELAND
THE STATE , TRIAL-I.—The Irish law officers com
mitted a blunder at the threshold; there was a gen
tleman on the grand jury who ought not to have been
on it, and as the law was pretty plain on the subject,
the attorney general abandoned the prosecution by
means of indictment, and filled an ex-officio infor
mation against Mr. Mitchell, who on Tuesday wan
placed under a rule to plead within four days. By

Dublin, IVednesday, April 26.—1 n the Court of
Cueen's Bench to-day, the Attorney General enter
ed a none prosequi to the bills fund by the grand
jury against Mr. Mitchell, and immediately tiled
two ex officio informations, charging him with the
same offences. copies of the information were
handed to Mr. Mitchell. In order to put a strip to
the prevailing excitement, the magistrates-13191e
country of Dublin are about to call upon the gov
ernment to proclaim the metre polls and disarm the
disaffected. The magistrates throogliout the entire
kingdom are recommended by government to swear
in special constables in every parish.
DUBLIN PROCLAIMED.—The following is an ex
tract from a private letter received in London tins
morning:—. We have just heard that the Privy
Council has ordered the city of Dublin to be pro
claimed, and an immediate search to be made for
arms." This wants confirmation.
Dublin, Thursday .—At the sitting of the Court of
Queen's Bench this morning, the Attorney General
applied for leave to enter a nolle prosequi in the
case of Meagher and O'Brien, and tended ex-officio
informations against those gentlemen as in the cane
of Mitchell yesterday.
Alr. W. S. O'Brien being absent in the country,
was allowed until Monday to make his appearance.
Mr. Meagher, being in court, entered an appear
ance at once.
The traversere made application to appear by at
torney, but the application was opposed by the Attor
ney General, and refused by the court.
The parties who have been most active in drilling
and rifle-shooting have had their amusements great
ly interfered with during the week; and some of
them having been arrested will, doubtless, be made
examples of. Mr. W. N. O'Brien and his party have
proceeded to the south for the purpose of agitation.
That they will easily succeed in stirring up a vast
amount of disaffection there. can be little doubt ;
everything throughout the provinces seems ripe for
an outbreak; but what settled scheme of organiza
tion the parties promoting this movement have, is
beyond our comprehension to divize. We can only
contemplate a vast sacrifice of human life, should
any rising take place, without any hope of accom
plishing the ends in view. Government is increas
ing the precautions already taken. Preparations
continue to be carried out on such a scale as p'ainly
to denote that the authorities deem the danger to be
near and imminent. Houses in Merrion and Rutland
squares have been surveyed and are being prepared
for the reception of troops. All the Jegiments in
garrison have been addressed on parole by their com
manding officers, and cautioned to abstain from ta
king any part in any political demonstration what
ever.
The most fearful accounts of destitution continue
to reach us from the provinces. The withdrawals
of depositors of their funds from the provincial Sav
ings, Banks, appear to arise as much from a sense of
insecurity of their funds,as from political distrust;
and indeed they have no Ooubt been swelled by the
requirements of the depositors for emigration and o
ther purposes. Enormous defalcations have taken
place in the Tralee and Killarney Savings' Banks.
THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.
The London Times of April 28th says:
The elections occupy the Paris papers of yesterday
to the almost entire exclusion of all other topics.—
The results were becoming more and more apparent
that MM. Lamartine, Dupont (de PF.ure,) Marrast,
Arago, Gamier Pages, Marie ' Bothmont, Cremicua,
Carnot, Beranger (the poet poet ,)Flastide, Paguerre, and
others of the Ministerial and Moderate patty, would
figure high in the list of elected; while MM. Ledru
Flocon, Louis Blanc, Albert, and Caussidiere
would have little more than the majority, if, indeed,
some of them did not absolutely fail. During the
many weeks of the agitation of the 'question, the
party of order and moderation has been gaining
strength, until it has now reached the pointat which
the best friends of the Republic desired it should re
main; it has produced a feeling of confidence, and a
sense of security and of permanence, provided that
the course whichled to it be persevered in.
The accounts from the departments show that ve
ry many or the former Liberal deputies will be re
turned, with also several whose principles are noto
riously not R-publicnn.
The conduct of the Parisian National Guard in
coining out with such spirit and unanimity on Sun
day, the 16th inst, in defence of the Provisional Gov
ernment, seems to have secured to them the appro
bation of their contemporaries in the provinces.

At a council of the Provisional Government held
April 23d, n decree was adopted definitivelrabolisb
ingi slavery in all the colonies and possessiens of the
French repUblic. The decree is to take effect two
on
mths after its publication in - the colonies. Art in
demnity is to be granted to..the slaveowners, the a
mount and form of which will be fired by the nation
al assembly. All traffic in slaves between proprio

publication of the decree,. Aft introduction by hire

bidden. This clause is especially intended to pre
vent the introduction of negroes front Senegal by
any system similar to that of the Hill-toolies in the
English colonies.
At the same council it was-decided that the term
on which the railways which' are competed and in
full. operation shall be traniffirred from the respec
tive companies to the , eatate,-aholl he - as
The share of the c,ornpaniea will he valued, at the
average of the prices svhielithey bore, according to
the official returns of the Bourse, fur the six months
preceding the revolution of February, and this price
will be paid by the government to the company in
five per cent. stock, to be also valued at its average
price during the same itrerval.
The council of government decided respecting the
remainder of the railways, viz , the unfinished linen.
The shareholders are individually to have the option
either of accepting the same terms as have been de :
tided for the finished lines—that is to say, to receive
five per cent. stock in exchange for their shares, the
value of the one and the other being taken at the
average prices oldie six months before February; or
they may pay up the remainder of their capital and
receive five per cent. stock at par for the whole.
The Moniteur contains a most important decree
of the Provisional Government, ordering, 4, because
of its liability to cause uneasiness to the German
States, and to commit the Republic in war with its
neighbors," the dissolution and the disperSion ofthe
Germans assembled on the eastern frontier of
France.
This has excited considerable surprise, and is said
to have reference to an important negotiation which
is on foot between the French Republic and some of
the continental states. It is said that the Provision
al Government of France has opened a negotiation
for a treaty offensive between the French Republic,
the Italian States, Switzerland, and the portion of
Germany represented in the diet at Frankfort, and
that the negotiations have proceeded so far that they
are on the point of being concluded.
The French army has been enormously increased
since the re,volution. It now comprises 537,000
men. •
La Libertie contains the following particulars re
lative to a grand banquet to be given on the 4th of
May, to the National Guards and the troops of the.
line, in the Champs de Mars Covers are to be

by the Minister of the-Interior for 60,000 bottles of
wine; and 30,000 pounds weight of ham. The guests
are to he chosen by lot from the National Guard
(mobile)."
From Wilmer ¢ Smith's European Times.
In the provinces, great discontent prevails, and
the schemes of the ultras to overthrow the Govern
ment, still caused apprehension in Paris. A plot to
blo sr up t' e Hotel de Ville, and to make the Repub
lic more democratic than is meditated by the Pro
visional Government, has been detected, and a judi
cial inquiry is now in progress into the alleged con
spiracy, which, it is said, will compromise some per
sons in high station. The National Guards would
doubtless preserve order should Vey such bumble
schemes be anticipated.
The position of the Bank of France, which is now
keenly watched as the thermometer of the political
strength of the French Government, has not im
proved during the last week. More than 7,000,000
francs have been retired, leaving the amount to the
credit of the treasury account reduced to.less than
37,000,000 francs. The coin and bullion diminished
3,500,000 franca. The note circulation was still
above 293,000,000, and of the branches 15,000,000
more. The bills overdue have increased more than
5,000,000 ; the bills dishonored remaining nearly as
before. Considerable importations of gold bad been
made from Engla•rid into Paris, and evidently large
banking opera ions were going on. The specie in
the vaults of the Bank of England has decreased,
in a corresponing deg. ee, more than a.million and a
Half in a fortnight, and this drain has been increased
by 'the demand fur gold in Ireland.
SPAIN.
The grea*.est indignation has been manifested by
General Narvaez, at the interference of Mr. Bulwer,
oho, at the instance of Lord Palmerston, recom
mended moderation to the Spanish Government in
their demeanor toward■ the Liberals. The feeling
is carried to the utmost hound that even diplomatic
civility allows; indeed Senor Isturitv has been in•
strutted to apply to Lord Palmerston for the recall
of Mr. Bu:wer, the British Minister to the Court of
Spain.
On the lath of March, shortly after the French
Revolution, and before the Spanish Government had
been induced by the subsequent disturbances at Mad
rid to resort to awy measures of extraordinary vio
lence, Lord Palmerston addressed to Mr. flulvver a
despatch, beginning in the style of the celebrated
massive to M. Glarakis:
have to recommend you to advise the
Spanish Government to adopt a legal and constitm
tional system;" and then proceeding in 'mine 11l nes
of unexceptional brevity and impertinence to "re
.4ommend" the Queen of Spain to turn out her Gov
ernment, and to call to her council. some members
of the Opposition! On the 7th of April, Mr. Bulwer
actually transmitted a copy of this despatch to the
Duke of Sotomayor, Spanish Minister of Foreign
Affairs, accompanied by a note of the Envoy him
self, which endeavored to make out some colorable
ground for ibis interference; a rhetorical precaution
which Lord Palmerston had entirely neglected. The
Duke of Sotomayor replied to this strange admoni
tion in language of great seventy and indignation;
and he returned the intrusive despatches to Mr. Bul
w•er as unworthy to be received by an independent
government; and he instructed the Spanish Minister
in London to demand the recall of the British Min
ister at Madrid.
It is reported, on the faith of a letter from Gerona
that the centralist chief Be , lera, with Don Enrique
has entered Spain at the head of about 1,000 men
Advice, from Lisbon to the 20th have been re
ceived. Portugal may now boast of her revolution,
effected in the centre cf the Chamber of Deputies by
the concession made to the people of the right of
electing the national representatives by the direct,
or English system, inscad of that of indirect elec
tions, which appears to have been resorted to in this
country, for the express purpose of facilitating cor
ruption, and suffocating the suffrage. of the people.
This virtual revolution was effected on Monday, by
61 votes against 36.1
ITALY.
The official bulletin of Milan, of the 19th, states
that the Piedmonte.e are activity engaged in fortify
ing all the most important points of the Mincio,
Goito, Valeggio,
.and Lonsambano, to Peachiera.
General Manno is before the latter place with his
heavy artillery ready to commence the attack. The
King's head-quarters are still at Volta Montavona.'
Charles Albert has ordered that the national na
val flag shall in future be the Italian tricolor—green,
white, and red,with the arms:of Savoy in the centre:
ships of war have a crown over the arms.
Advicos from Milan, of the 20th, quoted by the
Gazetta Piemontese, announce that a corpse of 24,-
000 men, composed of Pontificial,,Tuscan, and Nea
politan troops, are on their march to join the Pied
montese army, and that a part of them had already
effected their junction. 900 Pontificial troops weir: ,
expected at Padua on the 181 h.
The Augsburg Gazette of the 23d states that the
army of the Isonzo has begun its operations. The
insurgents attacked an advanced post near Vino, and
killed eight men. The Austrians marched upon
that place, sad, idler an obstinate resistance, re
mained masters of the field.
Itadetzki, it is said, offers battle under the walls
of Vol one; with a force nearly equal in number to
that of the Piedmontese.
Milan was perfectly tranquil, the public spirit still
unabated, though some murmurs were heard against
the dilatory proceedings of the Sardinian army.
A dispatch arrived at Milan on the 20th, from the
head:quarters of the Piedmontese army, bringing
the news of an attack, directed by the King of Sar
dinia in person, against the Austrians stationed in
the neighborhood of Mantau. The Duke of Savoy,
(the heir apparent to the Sardinian throne) was also
present at this affair. After a very warm engage
ment, and in which the Piedmont troops displayed
the greatest courage and bravery, the Austrians were
obliged to retire, and shut themselves up in the for
tress.
An engagement has likewise taken place between
the Italian corps of General Zecchi and the Austri•
ins at Vino, a village situated on the frontiers of
Illyria. The contest lasted four hours, but ultimate.
ly, though not without great difficulty, the Italians
succeeded in gaining possession of the village.
The Milan Gazette of the 21st inst., contains the
following :—The entire of Southern Tyrol has de
clared In favor of the good cause, with the exception
only of the Valley of the Adige, which is kept in
awe by the presence of the Austrian troops concen
trated at Trentum. Major Trolli, of the.. latedmon
tea° army was taken prisoner in a sortie effected by
the Austrian garrison of Peschiera. The Piedmon
tese forces occupy the most advantageous positions
near Verona. The heavy artillery has arrived. Two
envoys from Parama came to offer Ring Charles Al
bert the co-operation of their troops, which he ac
cepted. General Durando, with the pontifical divis
ion, ~.vas to blockade the fortress of Ferrara..
La Presse of Wednesday, confirms the reported
intention of King Charles Albert to abandon the far
ther presecution of the war of independence. His
Majesty has intimated to the Provisional Government
of Milan-Ist. That he considers the Mincin as the
extreme limit between Lombardy and Venice ; 2d.
That Venice having constituted itself a Itepublic,he
- does not intend to enter the Venitian territories;
and, 3d. That the Austrians having abandoned Lom
bardy, with-the exception of Mantua and Pcschiera
he considers that his mission would terminate when
Mantua and Pesehiera should surrender.
Much anxiety , is expressed in all the letters which
arrive from Northein Italy respecting the result of
the contest now going on in Lombardy.
The issue of that .contest depends,mainly on

King Charles Albert. Without the Sardinian army,-
the Austrians under Radetakey, reinforced as they
speedily must be by the, troops marching from the
north and by those already in the Frioul, would be,
ere long, again at the gates of Milan.
It in announced officially that Chisles Albert, hav
ing ascertained that intrigues weraon foot to induce
the Lombards' to follow the example of the Vene
tians, and to proclaim a republic, has given notice to
the Provisional Government at Milan, that he re•
quires them immedintely to establish definitively
the form of government of the Lombard States, or.
he will withdraw hie army. - The cause of this mea
sure on the part of the King of Sardinia is easily ex
plained. A republican party has been formed at
Milan, and is collecting round it numerous partisans.
The object of this party is not liberty to Lombardy.
Its speculations extend over the whole Italian Pe
_minsula, and-its project is nothing less than to con
stitute a great Italian republic, comprising Naples,
Rome, Tuscany, Venice, Milan, and Genoa.
The city of Brescia has declared for the constitu
tion of a "Kingdom of Upper Italy."
Letters from Botzen state that General Radetzky
has undertaken a survey of the whole line from Ve
rona to Mantua, and is strengthening his position;
the reinforcements from Austria have left Isonoza
and are in full march through the Venetian territory
to Verona.
SICILY
DEPOSITION OF THE RING OF NAPLES mom. THE
THRONE OF SICILY.
The Lega of Palermo, of the 15th instant, con=
tains the following :—" The Sicilian House of Com
mons met, on the 13th. At the opening of the sit
ting, the Minister of Foreign Affairs declared that
Sicily was desirous to join the Italian League, and
trusted that she would be able to defeat the intrigues
of the King of Naples. M. Paternostro observed
that Sicily was bound to shake off her King, and
proposed accordingly to decree on that very day
that Ferdinand of Bourbon and his dynasty had for
feited the throne of Sicily. The adoption of the
decree was then carried amidst the most enthusiastic
applause.”
The town was to be illuminated the three nights
following. On the 14th all the bronze statues of the
house of Borbon were thrown down, beginning with
that of Phillip V. That of Charles 11. alone was
spared, because he was a just and benificent prince.
Those statues were to be cast into cannon.
By advices from Palermo to the 17th inst., being
four days subsequent to the Parliamentary decree,
we obtain the important intelligence that ambassa•
dors or commissioners from the Government of Sici
ly may be expected in London in the course of a
few days, one of the first acts of the Parliament, af
ter proclaiming total independence, having been to
dispatch representatives to foreign Powers to an
nounce the new order of affairs, and to negotiate for
the interests of the country.
At these dates the greatest anxiety, of course, pre
railed to learn the effect which would be produced
at Naples, and also throughout Europe, by the bold
plunge which had been taken.
DENMARK AND HOLSTEIN
By the Hamburg papers we learn that an action
had taken place at Altenhof, between the Holstein
era and 1500 Danes, who advanced from Eckernforde,
and attacked some 400 or 500 Hols.ein volunteers,
who formed an outpost at Altenhof. The fighting
lasted six hours, and the Holsteiners state that they
ultimately repulsed the Danes by an onset with the
bayonet; but add that they were unable., to pursue
the Danes, as the volunteers were unsupported by
troops of the line or artillery.
The Hanoverian General, Hackett, is appointed
commander-in-chief of the allied army, that is of
the Germanic contingent, as well as the Prussian,
Schleswig, and Holstein troops. Prince itadrawil
will command one brigade; and the Prince of
Schleswig, Holstein-Sonderburg the other. The
Duke. of Brunswick will have no command.
By later advices from Harnburgh we learn that
another action has taken place between the Danish
troops and the Free Corps. The bands of volunteers
from Berlin, Cologne, tl amburgh, and other towns,
came into collision with a detachment'of Danish
dragoons and infantry, on the highway between
Kiel and Eckernforde, in the wood of Schnellinark
ter. The conflict lasted till eleven in the forenoon,
when the Free Corps were driven back with consid
erable loss, though its extent iinot yet-known. The
lONS of the Free Corps was reported to be eleven
killed (mostly Berlingera) and twenty wounded; that
of the Danes not known. '
BATTLE BETWEEN TILE DANN. AND PRIPSIANS.—
A supplement of the Schlreteig Holstein Gazette, of
the 24th, gives the following intellig -nee respecting
the first engagement of tic Prussians with the Danes:
"liendsburgh, Apiil 23, 9 o'clock at nighl.—The
Prussian troops marched out of this place yesterday
afternoon at three o'clock. They were followed by
an almort interminable succession of the other fed
eral troops, and of our dragoon., who had been quar
tered in the neighborhood of Remmells to recover
after their five days harrassing fatigue at Readsburg.
It was not till six o'clock to-day that the last party
quitted' the town; and at halfilkt seven several wag
on. arrived, bringing the woiNded and a number
of Danish troops prisoners. They brought the in
telligence that on the approach of the Prussians the
Danes retired from Kropp to SchlMtwig, and that be
tween two and three o'clock a fierce combat ensued
to the west of Bastorf, close to Schleswig.
r. At the first point the Prussians, who had vowed
to conquer or die, without waiting the arrival of the
artillery, stormed the newly fortified Danewirke, and
the enbankmenta thrown up at Bustorf. This corn
bat cost many lives, but terminated in the taking
of Friedrieksberg, and the so called Erdbeerenberg,
while the dykes at Gottorp are still in the hands of
the Danes.
". Simultaneoueily with the Prussians the Ztatrow
corps advanced to Missunde, towards the left wing.
By the first fire they dismounted one of the two bat
teries of the enemy, then the other, and were in the.
very act of taking the Penton. Further down the
Schlei, by the estate of Stubbe, the Weimar free
corps crossed at eleven o'clock, the shippers having
made arrangements to transport one thousand men
aeon at a time. , Thus all probability of retreat was
cut off from the Danes, and nothing remained for
them but to surrender curial& -
The Hamburg Borsenballe of the 24th, dated one
o'clock T. X says:—" A letter from RendsbUrg of
this morning, the 24th, says, 'Schleswig was taken,
by the Prussian' yesterday. The fortress of Gottorf
was still in the hands of the Danes during the night.
Two divisions of the Danes, together with several
dragoons, are said to have gone over the Prussians:,
GERMANY
Hesse Cassel has been restored to tranquility.
In the portion of the Duchy of Baden bordering
on the Lake of Constance, the Republicans had
seized Donianeschingen, where they established a
provisional government ; but they were driven thence
by some Wurtemberg troops, and it appeared that
the troops of Bavaria, Wurtemburg, &c., had already
quelled the Insurrection. The number of the re
publicans, who were headed by Hecker & Struve,
are very variously estimated, and a considerable
portion of them seem toVe'composed of workmen
from France and Switzerland.
Lieutenant General Gagern undertook the com
mand of the tioops at Baden, and went tp Schlien
gen on the 19th, when intelligence had arrived that
the insurgents had occupied Gandern. The troops
were all en route fur Gandern, which, at 5 o'clock,
was evacuated by the insurgents, who had taken up
their position near the city, intelligence was brought
that the insurgents desired to capitulate.
Gen. Gagern accordingly rode to the outposts, ac
companied only by a few horsemen, and exhorted
the rebels to obey the voice of the law, and to re
nounce the civil war, but they refused to follow his
prudent counsels. We remounted his horse, and, at
the same moment he was treacherously shot, and
mortally wounded by three balls, two of which en
tered his back, and the third passed through his head.
Exasperated at seeing their chief assasinated in so
cruel and perfidious a manner, the troops furiously
engaged in combat with the rebels, who were Forced
to take flight, leaving a great number dead upon the
field..
AUSTRIA
It is understood that an arrangement has been
effected between the •governmcnt and the National
Bank, according to which the former are to issue ex
chequer bills, to the amount of 30,000,000 of florins,
which will be received at their full value,
both at
the various Government offices and at the Bank. A
portion of the State property is to be assigned to
the bank as security.
Much excitement has been caused in Hungary by

Another correspondent from Tilsit says there are
about four timesas many soldiers on the Russian side

about Years of age, whose sorrows at the sight

Whether they have acted right or wrong in thispar

Amyx'Ta STEAMBOAT LAticravv.—The steamer
Comet was relieved of a small portion of money yes

went aboard about 11 o'clock, entered the clerk's
office, and opened the tiil with a chilled ; and took
out a few notes, some specie, and a cancelled check
on Wm. A-Hill. The fellow went to Hill's office,
and offered the check. In reply to an interrogatory,
be said he got it from Bagaley St Smith, and after
wards said he got it from a steamboat. Hill, sus
pecting that all was not right, politely asked the
man to sit down till he would examine into the mat
ter. This he declined, and started off, leaving the
check behind. He was pursued, and officers inform
ed of his operation. The Mayors Police arrested
him on the wharf; and after a short examination be
fore His Honor, he was committed for further hear
tng to-day. He gave his name as Hays, but we learn
:that this is only an alias his real name is Struthers,
and he is an old offender.
