adequate to the emergency has already
started for Civita Vecchia.
The article in Proudnon's journal which
led to its seizure implied direcdy that Lou

piuiu-s.
The Commissioners appointed to report
upon the expenses . of the foreign office at
Paris, have proposed to abolish the title of
Ambassador, and substitute, as in the Uni
ted States, that of Minister Plenipotenti
ary, with reduced, salaries. Their num
ber likewise is to be reduced, and the fol
lowing places are proposad as requiring a
regular Minister: At St. Petersburg, Lon
don, Constantinople, Bern, the Hague, and
Canton. By a later resolution, a Consul
General only is appointed at the latter
place. '
Germany is occupied with a gigantic
project, being no less than the junction of
the Baltic with die North Sea. The me

The warlike contest between the States
of the Continent continued with unabated

turning the visit of the French National
Guards to London
The Bank of France will shordy resume
specie payments.
The Sultan of the Sublime Porte has
signified his"non-compliance to bias a part
"f the Egyptian fleet. It is said that this
application was instigated by Russia.
Prince Cavigrio has ordered a levy en
masse on all the inhabitants of the Lom-

years. Those, who do not appear within
five days will be considered refractories.
The Jews in the town of Pesth have
been mulcted by the Austrians in the sum
of SI 3,000; because two of their number
had furnished the Hungarians with army
ciotning and unitorms.
A great number of troops have been
lately tnrougn Cologne, on their way to
ine norm.
Arrangements have been made for re
turning the visit of the French National
Guards to London. Three thousand per
sons nave engaged a flotilla of 8 to 10
steamers, for the purpose of crossing the
inannel trom the railroad termination at
Falkerton to Boulogne. Among them, it
is said, are some members of Parliament.
The National Guard will receive them at
Boulogne, at which town, on their return
from Paris, a grand ball is to be given at
the theatre.
The manifesto of Radetzkv. issued to
the army at Milan, upbraids Charles Al-
oen in tne most unmeasured terms, and in
the latter respect, and the presumption of
lis tone wun regard to Austria, it verges
strongly on the ridiculous. It holds forth
amongst other items, the moderation shown
by the Austrians.
Several of the towns of Piedmont nave,
according to the latest accounts, protested
against the armistice of Novara. Genoa
has been declared in a state of seige by
the Sardinian government, in consequence

would: not deliver up the forts to traitors
or the Austrians.

The RewD." Anderson, who formerly
officiated at St. George's Church, Everton,
has been elevated to the dignity of Bishop
of Prince Rupert's island. We under
stand that he contemplates a translation of
me ocnptures into the Red Indian dialect.
The report of Mr. Guizot's return to
Paris, has not been confirmed. It appears
that it was proposed to put him up as a
candidate of town of Liseux, France; but
many members of the party, in particular,
M. Thiers, vehemently opposed the plan,
lad consequently M. Guizot had concei
ved the idea of himself bounding the pub
lic of that district, as to the chance of his
election. This idea he has not though
fit to put into execution.
Still tforlher Detail.
.ENGLAND. . ..
: In the House of Commons, on the 19th
of April, the Navigation laws bill being
under consideration, Mr. Gladstone moved
a clause, empowering the crown, on ap
plication from any Colony,, to sanction a
conveyance of goods and passengers from
one part of said Colony to another, in
other than British vessels. The proposi
tion was adopted, and the bill ordered to a
third reading.
On Monday in the House of Lords, in
reply to a question, Lord Landsdowne
said that the British Government, though
aware of the intended French intervention
in the affairs of Rome, for the restoration
of the Pope, had taken no part in sugges
ting or prompting it, though he acknowl
edged they did not disapprove it.
It is stated that a Commercial , treaty is
about to be formed between England and
France, the leading feature of which will
be the free admission of brandy, wine and
fruit, from France; coal, iron and twist,
from England. .-.

Jenny Lind was married, at Bath, to
Mr. Harris, and has retired from the stage.
Ihe struggle in Sicily between the
Royalists and Republicans has commenced
wun irightiul lerocity. A desperate bat
tie took place on Good Friday, between
the Neapolitan troops and the Catanians,
in which: the latter were defeated; after
struggle which lasted through the whole
night. Great numbers were . slain, and
the city was afterwards sacked and plun
dered. Under the panic caused by this
defeat, Syracuse surrendered without a re
sort to arms.
HUNGARY.
The Austrians are in as great trouble as
ever, having sustained another defeat from
the Hungarians. The great struggle now
is for the possession of the Hungarian for
tress of Comorn, on the Danube, to which
the Austrians have laid siege for several
weeks. The Hungarians are endeavoring
to relieve it, and if successful, the Austrian
cause will be desperate.
Although unable to resist the army of
Kadetzky; Charles Albert inflicted great
injury on the Austrians, by causing a di
version of 20,000 of their forces to Lom
bardv, which were needed in Gratin.
They are now straining every nerve to
bring up these troops in time to check the
Hungarians, before the beseiging.army at
Uomorn is compelled to decamp. Ihe
latter are exposed to great danger, as the
whole of the surrounding country is in
the hands of the Maygars.
The Vienna papers of the 14th furnish
positive information of the occupation by
the Hungarians, of an important position
in the vicinity of Comorn.
The details of the. action, as given in the
German papers, are to the effect that
Windischgratz, at the head of his best re
giments, opposed the progress of the Hun
garians; but after three several encounters,
the superior tactics of the latter prevailed,
and the Austrians were beaten.
From Brazos St. Jago Depredations of Indians.
By the steamship Globe, from the mouth
of the Brazos, arrived at New Orleans on
the 25th ult., with Col. Webb and others
of his party, the Brownsville Flag of the
11th and 18th of April was received.
The Indians, it appears, are rioting in a
series of lawless aggressions along the Rio
Grande and in New Mexico. A private
letter dated at Rio Grande City, April 8,
says:
They have killed one family of Mexi
cans, of five persons. We had a litde
fight with them a few days since, and un
saddled two of the gentlemen. Our post,
camp Ringgold, is not worth one cent for
protection.
The Flag also mentions the arrival, on
the 14th, of an express from Palo Alto,
with accounts that the Mexicans were
flocking there in numbers for security and
protection, against bands of marauding In
dians. A party well mounted, started
from Brownsvtlle in search of the marau
ders. They met at different points, Mexi
cans robbed and camps-despoiled; and
joining another party of whites in pursuit,
they followed the Indian trail, but finally
had to desist, the Indians (Camanches)
having the advantage with fresh horses
they had stolen. . An escaped Mexican
prisoner stated that the party of Indians
that had taken him ' had thirty odd fresh
scalps, and a large number of horses and
mules.
The Flag of the 1 1th, mentions a ru
mor which we hope will prove unfounded:
"A party of California emigrants, which
left Corpus Christi some four or five weeks
ago, direct for the Paso del Norte, have
perished upon the prairies from hunger and
thirst. We have no particulars, except
that it is said by the family of the guide,
Agapito Martinez, who accompanied the
party, that he has reached Corpus Christi,
and brings the above report. He states,
it is said, that the usual water holes on the
route were found to be dry, and that him
self and another Mexican guide, were the
only ones who survived."

The editor of the St. Louis Union, who,
as an invalid, spent the past winter in
Cuba, states some circumstances in rela-
uon to tne climate oi Havana lor persons
inflicted with the consumption, that will
surprise many. So far from being favor
able he regards the climate as unfavora
ble to invalids. He remarks:
"For many years this Island has been
a favorite resort for persons afflicted With
pulmonary diseases. ' The mild climate
and pure atmosphere during the winter
months, render a residence very useful to
those who can still ride and drive in the
open air. It is somewhat singular, how-
ever, that whilst pulmonary invalids are
. - - - -
sent hither from Canada and the United
States, the Cuban physicians order their
pulmonary patients to Spain for a restora
tion of health. The latter regard the cli
mate here as very deleterious to those
whose lungs are disordered but phthisis
engendered among the natives; assumes a
very different type from that common with
us; it is more rapid and certain m its
effects. The tables published a few years
ago indicate that but few Cubans ever re
cover from pulmonary attacks, nor is that
surprising to persons acquainted with' the
tiabits of the country. 1 he men dress in
lght clothing at all seasons, and the ladies
are always with bare necics ana arms:
even whilst riding. Children run entirely
naked until they are five or six years old,
whilst all young and old are constantly
exposed, with but littie attention to health
or to rapid changes of weather the ther
mometer sometimes falling fifteen degrees
m six hours. " - '
"An American is astoniseed on entering

children naked in the parlor, the older sis
ters playing with and caressing them, as
if there were no violation of modesty, or

morals may be readily inferred; and on
tiealth also, i ne moae oi Dmiaingr nou
ses exposes the inmates to every change
of air, and the thick walls, tile or mud
floors, large windows, open courts, and
absence of fire-places, render the rooms
damp if closed, and if opened, unprotected
rom the piercing nortners. Havana, is
generally the first stopping place for Ajnety
ican invalids, and among the worst Ujat
could be chosen. The attractions are
greater there than at any other place, and
consequendy they remain too long espe
cially as the annoyances about passports
and licenses to travel, induce a dislike to
proceed further.
"The air is damp, except from seven in
the morning to four or five o'clock in the
afternoon, and the northers fresh from the
Gulf play upon the city with undiminished
seventy. More than Jiaii the time a cloak
is necessary, and in the absence of. fire
places, noother method is Jeft for keeping
"in. It is amusing to see" men clad in
white pantaloons and vests, hugging a
heavy cloak around them; whilst the ladies
with muslin robes and bare bosoms and
arms, chat away as, if impervious to the
cold, and the children creep naKea along
the damp tile floors. Strangers, in their)
desire to conform to every thing around
them, are apt to neglect the change of clo
thing requisite and to remain at Havana
until thev can co on further. .,. The latter
city is not much taore" favorable to con
sumptive patients than the southern cities
of the American Union: for more than
half of the time the raw wind from the
Gulf irritates the lungs, and even when not
chilling the frame, produces hoarseness
and coughing. It is better never to leave
home if much affected, than to remain in
that city, or in any of those on the northern
coast., .In this. I believe 1 agree with
most physicians familiar with the facts.

The"Iowa State Gazette speaks as fol
lows of Governor Ramsey s new baui
wick: - - '- -'
The boundary of Minnesota begins at
the Mississippi river, where the line of
43 30 crosses the same, running due
west to 95J west longitude, by Nicollet's
map; tnence m & direct line to the point
where the 100th of longitude crosses the
49th parrallel of latitude; thence along the
boundary of the British possessions to
Lake Superior; thence along said line to
the north east corner of the State of Wis
consin; thence along the boundary of said
State to the Mississippi, and down said
river to the beginning. It therefore
embraces the entire country lying north of
the estates of Iowa and Wisconsin exten
ding clear up to the British possessions.
1 he population of this new Territory is
at present very limited, and is almost en
tirely confined to the east bank of the
Alissisppi and the north bank of the St.
Croix. The town of St. Pauls, on the
brmer, five miles below St. Peters, con
tains some four or five hundred inhabi
tants; and Stillwater, on the St. Croix, is
somewhat larger. These, we believe, are
the only villages worth naming in Minne
sota. 1 he principle settlement is on the
St. Croix, a stream possessing great hy
draulic advantages, and the banks of which
are covered with inexhaustible supplies of
pine. A large number of mills are in ac
tive operation at various points, running
several hundred saws, and giving employ
ment to probably one half of the entire
population of the Territory. Indeed we
are led to believe, from reliable informa.
tion, that the country lying between the
Mississippi and Lake Superior is chiefly
valuable for its lumber, and it may be, min
eral resources. For farming purposes it
is of but litde value, being full of swamps,
lakes, and marshes.
The country west of the Mississippi is
by far the best portion of Minnesota; but
unfortunately the lands all belong to the In-
3 dians, and there is no place to which set
tlers can at present be invited. No time
should be lost by the government in obtain
ing, if possible, a cession of a portion of
these lands. There is a beautiful strip of
country lying along the shore of Lake Pe
pin, owned by the Sioux half breeds,
which would be speedily occupied ifl
thrown open to white settlement. The
prosperity of Minnesota demands that eve
ry exertion be made to induce the owners
of these lands to dispose of them to the
government.
More Trouble in Mexico.
Tha National Intelligencer gives
the
following extract of a letter:
Tammco, April 1, 1849.
The disturbed state of this ill-fated
country is to lamented. The disbanded
officers from the Mexican army, deserters
from the Americans, and a party of Indi
ans who have been in the mountains of
Sierra Madre for some months past, mar
ched against Rio Verde on the night of
the 9 th March. They encountered the
Mexican troops stationed at that town and
soon put them to flight, and afterwards
committed all kinds of excesses and dep
redations.
The troops stationed at this place have
marched against them under the command
ot Uen. de La Vega; but La Vega is too
weak to attack them. This movement has
paralyzed all our commercial relations
with the interior, whilst our northern
neighbors are sending American goods a-
cross the country from Texas and Mata
moras; and, should the town of Browns
ville become a port of entry, all the prin-
- r m .
cipai mercnanis oi j. ampico win oreaK up
here and establish .houses there.
The change of the Mexican tariff, as
anticipated, has proved altogether abortive.
Mexico is determined to keep up all her
restrictions. Gen. Garey remains in com
mand at Tampico, with about seventy
men and many officers.
Another revolution is now openly spo
ken of. Pablo Castillia (who was at the
head of the military from this city) has
returned, and is now endeavoring to get
up an excitement in favor of Santa Anna.
You will remember that Castillia was so
opposed to military rule, and now he is
the organ of the military despot. . Such
is the instability of Mexican character.

Mexican Robbers and Deserters
A letter from the city of Mexico, pub-
ished in the Savanuah Republican, says:
1 he whole route from Perote to this
city is full of robbers, though they will not
attack any party which is armed; but ifi
any one straggles behind, he'is sure to
catch it. There were twenty-five caught
by the Government troops the day before
we arrived at Nopalooke, a small town,
and two of their throats cut, the balance
et loose; the day we arrived at Puebla,
there were four shot in the Plaza. There
is the greatest quantity of deserters scat
tered on the road from Vera Cruz to this
place, and I expect a greater set of scoun
drels never lived. I have understood
from a gentleman here that a band of them
is on the road from here to Guadalaxara,
robbing and plundering everything of val
ue. Speaking of deserters. I saw at Ja-
apa the noted Riley, with the letter D. on
his cheek; he is a Major in the Mexican
army, and a meaner, uglier, drunken
scoundrel, I have never seen; he does not
seem to hide himself from Americans, but
makes himself known. He offered his
services to our party in purchasing horses,
mules, &c, and was requested to travel.?
Intended Visit of the" Ex-King of
Sardinia to America. The unfortunate
Charles Albert, who has recahed Madrid
on his way to Opoito, does not intend, as
some of the papers have given out, to re
side in the latter city. Persons who are
acquainted intimately with his movements,
have stated his intentions to be. to leave
Europe entirely and take refuge in the U
nited States of America a course which
on many accounts presents very desirable
advantages. , We believe that the ex-King,
after a short sojourn at Oporto, will sail di
