. WC have been politely favored with the perusal
. of a letter addressed to a gentleman in our borough,
, dates Lerma, Mexico, May 4th, 1848, from our
friend Lieut. Welsh. Among the items of news,
'ere The following:—Mr. Welsh's wound, which
had closed before be left us, has again rendered him
'unfit for the service; and he has obtained leave of
absence. Ho saw Licut. T. D. Cochran on the
.2nd, at Toluca, and, to nse his own expression, lie
,•'is well, fat, and hearty, and beloved by all the
'cacers and men with whom he is associated." He
visited the head quarters of the Mountain
liovritzers, where ho found Corporal Morris, (Our
-Pat,) Private's Weaver and Suydam, all of whom
are well, "and all most excellent soldiers." Wade,
of Marietta is also well. Licut. Welsh states "on
the authority of Lieut. Cochran," that George
Duck is dead. No particulars. John Murphy has
escaped unhurt, having borne the brunt of almost
every battle in Mexico—at one time being the only
man left at his gun. Mr. Welsh doubts the indi•
cations of peace, which doubt will of course be
removed.
In view of the reported death of poor Duck, we
measures will be taken to secure to his
widowed mother, who is in indigent circumstances,
the bounty and land to which he was entitled.
Macaw., Tim Inisn Mentz, has been convict.
ed of felony, and sentenced to fourteen years trans-
portation. The sentence will be immediately axe
mated. " i'Vlietn the Gods will destroy they first
make mad;" and the government of Great Britain
is surely ludatic. Let them go on, while the
strength of frenzy lasts, but the time hastens when
the felony of patriotism ‘vin Littlish the divine right
of kings from England, as it has done for France.

Gtar.sam's Mao/amt.—We solicited an exchange
with this splendid and highly popular Magazine,
and instead of favoring ua only with an exchange
from henceforth, we also received the whole of the
last, (X.X.XII) volume, from January to June, 1848.
We will endeavor to reciprocate the favor when
opportunity occurs.
We have seldom, if ever, seen a more splendid
and valuable volume of any magazine. The por
traits of the Army Heroes are superb, as are also
the various other' pldtea. The literary matter of
the volume before us is. the production of some of
ablest writers extant.

SEVEN DAYS LATER
FROM EUROPE.
The Acadia arrived at New York. on Saturday,

May. The intelligence she brings la of import.
anise.
FRANCE
The surface of political affairs Is somewhat more
calm. There is a lull, fora moment, in Paris, but
the disposition is all tending to violence and mob
government.
The Assembly and the Government do not her.
monize. The two powers have exhibited unmis.
takeblo signs of being discordant bodies, and nut
co-ordinate; the two branches can hardly be called
the Legislative and Executive of France, for 'each
contends for the mastery—the National Assembly
insists upon keeping as much power as is compati
ble with its functions in its own hands. The Ex
ecutive Committee requires more power, in order to
mantain order and keep moving the wheels of the
Government.
The first proposed decree regulating relations
between the Legislature and Executive, has not
been carried. The articles authorizing members
of the Executive to sit in the Assembly, and re
stricting the power of the President of Assembly
over the troops, were successively rejected, and
that one especially which proposed to confide exter
nal protection of the Assembly to the Executive,
was unanimously rejected.
Not only dues this disposition manifest itself be
tween the two authorities, bat the Executive is
torn by internal dissensions, and the impression is,
that it must fall to pieces.
It is said that M. Lamartine and M. Ledru Rol
lin will resign, and a new Executive be formed of
Marrast, Arago, and Marie. Some report Avignae,
who has asaumed the Portfolio of War.
Mr. Rush, the American Minister, presented, on
the 22c1 inst., the address to the executive govern
ment, voted by the Senate and House of Represent
atives of the United States, tendering the congrat
ulations of Congress on thestuccess of the late Re
volution, to which M. Lamartine made a suitable
reply.
Lamartine declares unequivocally that Italy shall
not relapse under Austrian dominion, but at the
first call of the Italian ;Patriots, a French army
shall cross the Alps.
In the same breath he admit. reading front the
despatches sent from the Italian States,that they
have no desire whatever for the intervention of the
French. The Italians remember lEsop's fable of
the Porcupine and the Snake, and having felt the
sharp quills, or prickly French bayonets once, they
have no desire to let them into their territory again.
IRELAND
We regret to state that the positiun of Ireland
continues to fill us with deep apprehension. The
excitement of the Government trials now in pro•
greys has found vent in a demonstration of the
clubs and citizens, wins in large bodies parade the
streets of Dublin, Ireland. The obstructions of the
public highways take place by the police end the
multitude, and then contests arise in Police Courts
as to which party committed the breach.
SPAIN
In Spain a singular event had occurred. The
correspondence between the Dulc of Sotorneyer
sod Sir H. L. Buiwer, had led to a. dismissal of that
gentleman from the Court of Madrid. He regained
his passports on the lith inst., with order. to quit.
Madrid in 48 hours, and his Excellency reached
London on Wednesday.
Amid the general speculations on this untoward
ment, the fire is opening in the London journals
upon the subject. The Herald condemns the Span.
isla government, while our own papers are dig.
posed to censure Lotd Palmerston. A full expla.
nation will no doubt be given to Parliament on the
matter.
The insurrection has taken place at Seville; at.
tended by a great loss of life, and the French jour
nals ley all the blame on Sir Henry L. Bulwer.
ITALY.
Terrible Massacre at Naples.—On Saturday, the
13th, in the morning, at Naples, the Deputies were
assembled in the Salle de Monte Olive tto, in proper.
glory seesion, to modify the form of oath to be ta
ken at the opening of Parliament. The oath was
in these terms : swear fidelity to the King and
the constitution of 29th January." The Deputies
were opposed to this form, because it was not in
consonance with the concessions of 3d April. Sat.
urday end Sunday passed in negociations. In the
evening, at eleven o'clock. it was announced that
the King would not modify the form.
The Deputies, to the number of BD, met, declared
Themselves in permanence, and sent a deputation
to the King to treat es to a modification. The King
refused. The National Guard went in great num
bers to Monte Olivetto to persuade the Deputies to
persevere. About midnight another deputation
was sent to the palace, when the King demanded
time. A modification of the oath was then pro
posed, in which a reservation of the rights confer
redsby the decree* of the 3d of April should be
made.
The Kiog pretended to accept this, hut the chem.
ber learned, that the troops had, meanwhile, been
ordered out, and force being thus resorted to, all
conciliation became impossible. Soon after mid.
night the National Guard commenced constructing
barricades. At half.past one, the generate was
beaten, and at two the troops—infantry, cavalry
and artillery—issued from their barracks and on.
copied the space around the palace, the castle and
the market.
The King, being informed of the construction of
the barricades, ordered the soldier, to withdraw,
and consented to the Parliament being opened with.
out any oath; this formality was to have taken
place with explanations on the subject of the stat.
ute.
The National Guard, however, refused to lower
the barricades, except on the condition of the abo.
lition of the Chamber of Peers, the surrender of the
fortresses, and the removal of the troops from the
capital. This being declined, the troops were
again ordered out, and the squares of the palaces
and other places were covered with armed forces,
including a great quantity of artillery.
At o'clock, the Swiss troops were drawn oat
-
around the castle. At half past nine there was en Itelnleton the part of the eitimas the numbers killed

derous fire of musketry by battalions, and the ar.l
finery commenced a tremendous discharge of
grape; the conflict, in fact became general. At
the barricades of' San Fernando and San Bridgida,
the National Guard sustained a fire of musketry
and artillery for three hours, without yielding an
inch of ground.
On the commencement, the lower orders seemed
disposed to take the side of the National Guard ;
but being offered by the King and the troops the
privilege of pillage, they - wok the other side.
Doors and gatesof shops and private houses were
soon forced, and a general pillage and massacre
commenced to cries of "Vire el Rey I" The sig
nal of attack was given by three guns from the
fort, when the red flag was raised.
Unheard of atrocities were perpetrated by the
lazzaroni and - the troops. They rushed into the
private houses, and massacred the inhabitants with
out distinction of age or sex, flinging the bodies of
their victims from the windows. In one house
were shot a father, mother, and four children.—
Other victims were dragged alive through the
streets, to be butchered.struck as they went along,
and insulted by the agents of the police and sol
diers, who compelled them to cry " Vire el Rey."
When they refused, they were pricked in the face . :
by the points of the bayonets. The royal guard
murdered two sons of the Marquis Varianten, in his
own palace; the father went stark mad. The pe.
lace was sacked. The emissaries of Del Caretto,
and according to some account., Del Caretto him
self, were employed in goadiug on the rabble to
those acts of atrocity. Several persons known to I
entertain liberal opinions, were dragged from their
houses and shot,
The massacre continued for eight hours. The
hospitals were filled with wounded. In one Swiss
regiment alone there were 200 killed and wounded,
of which 30 were officers. Government was pro
ceeding to disarm the National Guard.
The aspect of the city wasdeplorable. It seem
ed to be converted into one vast tomb.
THE NORTH OF EUROPE.
Hopes of peace in the North of Europe have not
yet been realized. The Schleswig and Holstein
dispute remAins in statu quo.
The German P{rlianient assembled at Frankfort
on the 19th. The choice of President and Vice
President, Mr, Ihigarne, Hossein Minister, and
Mr. Perron has inspired great confidence.
A PANIC IN VIENNA.
The Emperor and Empress of Austria have quit
led Vienna secretly, and unknown to their minis
tens. It is stated that they have arrived at In
spruck.
On the 18th, Pelliaburg, and his colleagues in
the ministry, issued a proclamation announcing the
fact, and adding that they had despatched Count
Rayne, commander of the National Guatd, a trust
worthy men, with an urgent request to dispel the
apprehensions of the people, either by the Empe
ror's return, or u statement of the reasons which
rendered it impossible.
Wi!musk had been sent to make the same request
to the Archduke. The members were evidently
alarmed, and completely taken by surprise at the
unexpected event, and pledged themselves to 'pre.
serve order, and publish tcs the people whatever
communication they might receive from the de.
parted monarch. Some endeavors were made to
gel up a cry for a Republic; but the National
Guards threatened to hang the rioters, and they
were arrested.
The joyful information was received on the af
ternoon of the 19th, of the approaching return ofl
the Emperor that evening, and the imperial palace
was surrounded by thousands awaiting his arrival.
Subsequent accounts state that all era acting in
concert for the speedy restoration of order, and a
deputation had been sent to the Emperor, express.
ing the universal desire that lie will come back in
medistcly.
THE WAR IN LOMBARDY.
In Lombardy the war continued undecided. The
siege of Fumblers commenced on the 19 of May.
Treviso is invested by Ihe Austrians, but held out
on the 19th.
The combined Neapolitan and Sardinian squad
rons had arrived in Venice.
MISCELLANEOUS.
The Austrian Ambassador has left Rome. The
Pope is asseried to have sent an autograph letter to
the Emperor of Austria, offering his meditation,
on condition of his unconditional abandonment of
Italy.
The Pope invokes the right which nations have
to reconstitute themselves, cites the example of
Germany, and concludes, that, after the late events
in Lombardy, it has become impossible for Austria
to govern Italy.
A private letter from Rome. of the 15th May,
says that much uneasiness prevails there. A vio.
lent re.actiun was feared on the part of the popu.
lace and the neighboring peasantry.
For a considerable time past the Czar of Russia
has been engaged in concentrating forces in the
Black Sea, and extraordinary activity has been ob.
served in the Arsenal et Sebastpol.
LoNDOX, May 26, evening.—The announcement

that from information received by him, he enter.
tained strong hopes of the Schleswig, Holstein al:
lair being arranged amicably has given great sails.
faction, and removed the uneasy impressions which '
the accounts received during the last two days had
produced.
There have been again serious disturbances at
Lyons, Toulon and other large towns in the pro.
vinces. Collisions in various places between the
mob and the Nations! Guard have occurred, but the
general feeling throughout France is reported tube
on the side of order and the deice quo, and by the
last accounts the most disturbed districts formerly,
appear to have been quiet.
Disturbance of Mayence.—On Sunday a collision
took piece between the Prussian soldiers stationed
in the fortress of Mayen= and the citizens, aided
by the regular burgher guard. Siz of the Prussian
soldier. were killed, and about 'ivy wounded.
