LOADP' central power, the Boichavericitar had an oath admi nistered to th e crews of the ships, binding them to the service of that power, which is another circum stance viewed with great suspicion by the ant: -Austrian party. Prussia and those states which have furnished the funds for the equipment of the fleet are interested in maintaining disarmament at their disposal. Them are the grounds upon which Herr von Amnon now comes furward to demand from ministers explanations upon this subject, shaping hie queries thus : 1. What steps have bee taken since Prussia ceased to recog nise the central power to tezure her command over the fleet. 2. What fat's have reached the knowledge of the government with regard to the orders sent to the fleet to hold itself in readiness to sail by the lath of October, and with regard to the object of this mea sure. 3. In how far has the government, in confor mil with its jest claims, teken part in such an ar rangement 4. Whether the ministry have taken, o- I intend to take, any means, and what, in order to op pose that measure with proper energy, and to avert the danger with which Germany is thereby threatened. _ _ Lloyd relates that es the 22ed inst. a council e f war U held in Cowen, when the Austrian ulti matum was rejected. This paper says, also, upon the authoriti of deserters, that hay was pales wares in the garrison. The conditions of the oitilialsen that cowed its rejection were the banialuneet of the shiers sod the oesoation of their property. &asses, the celebrated composer of quadrilles and wall:see, has jest died rere of the owlet fever. It is now odleally contradicted that the plague had broken out in Fiume and Trieste. _ spa thess grounds the sultan's ministers hope that the emperor will forego his demand. This answer, it answer it can be called, did not at all please Prince Rae ; he said he had not come to Cons'antinople to discuss with the Turkish government the justice of the Cs ar's demand ; but that he required a short and explicit answer. To this very insolent note the Porte replied that as hie°. Radsivtl required nothing but a simple cegative or affirmative answer, they would take their own time to consider the matter, and would, aft'r due deliberation, give a reply to the Emperor's letter. This has been construed Into a eoege by the aide de-camp of the Czar. He instantly demanded an audience of the Sultan, through M. de Titoff, to lake leave. The audience has been granted, and this morning Prince Radzivil made his bow to his majesty. It is said that when the Sultan was told that Prince Radzivil was a Pole, he said it was horrible to thick that he should accept a mission to demand the lives of his countrymen. "He is rather," said the Sultan, speaking in French, " a poll same than a Fantail." [THREEPENCE.

He intends to p to London, and has received a French The The former rNacteur of the Rtfinino bas Pee geed his functions to the celebrated Abbe de Lamennais, who commences his editorial duties to-day by some strong asimadversions on the conduct of General Aupick, the ambassador of the republic, who, with Sir Stratford Canning, had been summoned to the Divan. The Turkish govern:a:telt inquired whether they would be supported in their r' fusel to abandon Imeeth and Dembinski to the able vengeinoe of the Czar, by the English and French cabinets. Sir Stratford dinning, according to the Reforms, boldly stated that they might rely upon the support of the British guv.rnment; but the representative of the French republic shuffled off a mortal coil of remarks, observations, &c., and finally. when reminded that Deskinaki applied for a French pimp at, in stead of deav ing at up that France would throw her JEAie over the beroie general, the diplomatic republican raid that he would apply for fresh inr-tructions. Nor does the Re'prias light single-handed against this ants mptible weakness of the representative of the French govern ment.

All in teresting subjetti are suspended until the meeting of the chambers to-morrow. _ _ There is no news from abroad to-day. Things eat tinue in the same unsettled state at Rome, and tle prospect of the return of Pio Nino begins to appear more remote than ever ; perhaps it may soon vanish altogether from the political horizin. General Melchor Pacheco y Obes, minister plenipo- tentiary of the Republic of Uruguay, charged with a special mission to the French guvernment, has had an audience of the President of the Republic, whom be addree Id as follows: . _ Monsieur le President,—The government of the Republic of Uruguay has dme me the hone ur to accredit me to the government of Franc*, over which you so worthily preside, is order to claim that justice which the coaventioa remotly entered into with its enemies refutes to my country.

The Pre s ident of the Republic received the new envoy of Monte Video with the greatest courtesy and kindness, and terminated the interview by - . - • na g ve so other interest than that of the French, in what ever part of the world they may be. and I will do every. q i. that depends on me to 'minutia the honour and the ty of Franco. &Nig mays We are ieferwe ea pod authority that a bit is in prepa ration by the Iliaieter of Coomscree, the object of which will bets astioirial the introdaethis int i F.ance, of fiwediah iron beam h• •he same of aural it ii.

The accused of the 13th of June, who are to appear before the High Court of 'maim, yesterday received espies of the documents which are to figure in the petredings ; but copies of the indictment cannot be ememunicstrd to them befote tomorrow or Monday. The RepubFqam says : " We have ju tbeen informed that oar friend Fells Pyst his written to one of his sorrespondente at Paris, announcing his intenticn to garrotter himself to appeer on the 10th o;obrr before the High Court of Justice at Versailles." Most of the Italian journals come to hand this liming comment era t be papal manifesto and M usty. The view which 'Yea the met moderate of them tube of the ease is the reveres of favourable either to - t he lope or to French diplomacy. Ml* &logo of Florence, which is obliged to be very cir cumspect in its luggage, nevmtheless ventures to say that it does not believe the Roman question to be solved by the manihsto of Pigs IX., the spirit of which is even less ilium' than that which dictated the megarsodum of 1831. It however belidves that the manifesto does sot exclude the possibility of fur ther Depilation on the part of France.

The documents led before the Bavarian Seeped Chamber by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, V. der Prorate°, cowls: of a series of dispatches iater changed between the Prussian and Bavarian govern ments from the 21st of May; of a letter of Prince Etehwarsenbvg, commeeding the diligence of the minister, V. der Pfordten; of a short review of the tra-sactions in the German gasoline between Austria sod Pre ssia from December 1848 to the end ofJuly 1849, when the Bavarian government wee called upon b 7 P,ue,ia tt declare whether she would join the Drat li;Mgebund or not; then of a do-ument entitled, Elucidations up in the . pent state of the German que.tion, perticularly web reference to the speech of Herr von Radowirs before the Second Chamber at Berlin.* Lastly, there is the spceeh of the min.ster, V. der Pfordten, himself. All the., documents ap pear in the New Miinchener Zeitung, the semi official paper of Munich. The pub! cetion of the stole by the Bavarian governm nt has created im mense irritation among the ministerial party at Berlin. Meanwhile this feud between tie north and south German warts has, at least, the advantage of showing the German people what results they are likely to ole Wu as long as their again are conducted through the diplomatic ehannels of rived dynasties. The Premien and Bavarian governments have been spitting firs at oath other through their organs ever since the Ba varian savoy at Berlin, M. Lerchenfeld, refused to set his name to the Dreikdoige-bund. Tom is no doubt mho aje &lousy between the inhabitants of north and south Germany ; but when, instead of appeasing thss jealousy, the governments on either side do all they can to irritate it, they show that their object is not the union, but the disclaim, of Germany. Ministers with common sense and common temper, who were really ministers and not ministerial valets, at Munich and Berlin, could never have set two countries by the ears am the Menteuffel and Pfordten ministries have done Prussia and Bavaria. It is quite dear that the jealousy is at bottom a dynastical one. Neither the protectioniets in Bavaria nor the free trader, in Prussia are so strong as to outweigh the natural tendency to approximation and friendship of two stations who speak the seem language, and re peat with pride the same German names. I repeat, there cannot be a ewer proof of the bad system of go vernmevt, under the present order of things in Germany, than the disgraceful, indecent, diplo matic-Billing/rate squabbling that goes on between the ministate i organs of Munich end Berlin. The Deutsche Reform and the New Mitnchener Zeiteino have a daily boat of quarrel, the tone of which strongly reminds one of that of two sour elderly ladies inspired by the blackest malignancy, which vents itself in rabid acidities. Why sheold some Foot P. union ugh-boys and artisans, who are set with spiked helmets and other warlike accoutrements to garrison the same towu with so many Bavarian plough-bays and &Aimee, who hive helmets without spikes, sod yellow worsted instead of red on their shoulders, shove their bayonets into one another's stomachs, leaving kil'ed and wound, d in a melancholy brawl worthy of the middle ages? Simply because there poor fellows, born to live as the best of terms, know that their masters are at odds, and imbibe on ei.her side the hostile spirit which prevails at head quarters. It is not Preemie and Bavaria that are enemies, bat Wittelbach and Holier:Morn. Pfordten and &him nits, Deutsche Reform and Neve Miinchener Zettung, the spiked helmet wearer and the unapiked are the mere paid instruments through which that dynast:a war has to be waged, either with protocols, types, or b.yonets, and do not in the lead represent the genuine expression of the national feeling on either side. Even if they did, the fact would basil' &proof that the governments were beeletheebjeseef govern& meat being to restrain, and not to instigate such ab stn d and mischievous tendencies to civil war. BERLIN, Barr. 28. I regret to say that the Second Chamber have very considerably weakened their firm and manly vote of the 23'h, which arum the parlament with the right of rerun' g supplies, by admitting in their next sitt two amendments which go a great way towards me derminiog the ground they had won the day before. Thine amendments, proposed by Bodel ohwingh and Moteke, are inserted immediately a ter the 961 article of the constitution, and are se follow : " Whim the settlement of the budget far the next fines dal period is delayed beyond the commencement of this period, the last budget remains in force until the new one is established ; bat the term of delay during which the old budget is valid most not exceed flier months. The receipts and expenses of the state in the new financial year, until the establish ' sent of the new budget, within the term indi cated, are to be inc:uded in the new budget." The amendment of Moecke, appended to Bodelscbwingb's, is vastly more important. It is this : " Should this delay be caused by the want of agreement between b,th chambers on the budget, the taxes hitherto voted are to continue to be levied until an agreement Is tante t." It is inconceivable that an amendment of this stamp should have been pasted by the Sec Aid Clamber after they had thrown out, by so large a ma jority, on the day before, those weeds in the com mencement of the 108th article of the octroyed consti tution which hardly deal a more fatal blow at the right of the peoples chamber to withholc supplies. 'fbe only difference between the two iv, that by the octroyed constitution the crown had the power of railing the taxes without the content of the parlia ment, and be Matches amendment the crown may make use of the First Chamber to defeat the control of the people's house. The principle which arms the commons with the means of checking an unconstitutional government is entirely given up; and this Wu in feet all that wee worth contending far. The constitution of the First Chamber has OW been yet fixed ; bat it is highly pro bable that the crown will have the direct nomina tion of oce-third of its members; the rest will oonsist for the most part of government fttectionaries. That a house se composed will ever unite with the Second Chamber in a vote to mime supplies is out of the question. Therefor* the consent of the people to their yearly taxation ie. by the pessingof Moccks's amend ments satire', dispensed with, and the government is &sanitised tot:ellen the taxes for an unlimited period without the sanction of parliament. In the sitting of the Second Chamber on the 28th, rte bill for postponing the reorganisation of the bureherwehr until the law of Oct. 17, 1848, oe this subject hus been revised upon the hese of the revised constitution, and after the promulgation of the new regulation of communes, was paired and seat up to the Filet Chamber. To-day an interpellatien by HOT von Ammon to the Ministry, on the subject of the German fleet, ex cited much interest in the First Chamber. The news , that the German fleet mentioned in the Weser has re ceived orders from the mistral power to bold itself is readiness to sail by the 16th of Weber, in order to cities in the Mediterranean, and pees the winter is Mediterranean port. has Mined great discontent. Ibis fleet, farmed in the days whim the idea of Ger man unity moved enthusiasm, for the protection of German commerce and the =timid dignity, wee built out of matriculate cent:Radom by German states, and chiefly by Pruade, and patriotic subscriptions of individuals. Austria gave se contsibution wkateme to this tend, bat isolated herself from the rests( Ger many on this question, aid excised herself by referring. to her own fleet, which she had to maintain. There Is no German interest which can be served by the presoak d a German fleet in the Mediterranean; and the salmis* that the ends of Austria are to be Melt by this disposition is highly irritating to the Seth sad West Germans, when thetgefiee utC *Wm which have been socessingty set .

Bsvaeia was 600,000 tholes, in arrears, &agony 198,000, and Luxembourg 41,000.

To the Mediterranean when • Dane sow mends the Ananias fleet; while tie fleet, tot up against the Danes, is ordered by an Austrian mehnski. Meanwhio lissiburg and Bremen, which I with pride hail se Hyman cities (s. er, members of the PIV/10411 Bwwksiaol), have their commerce left unprotected. If the ships ainsot winter where they an, why cannot they go to Ragland, or to the Oder, when they are within an easy reach of the North German ports? Pru•sia has paid low millions of Miners tea wards thia fi et, and has aright tonne a User in its disposal. The minister of foreign affairs replied that the found. ing of • German naval power had ever this near the heart of the government. Is spits of financial dlficultin expense had sot been spared to arrive et this end. Beside the mercy earlier destined fur marine purposes, 100,000 tailors had been laid oat on this object. At th e present no mint tho fie. t is in the Weser, and ite command in the hands lathe mown power, which is no longer by usackrowledged The government not being able to comustaicato Mt longer with that authority, entered into negotiations with Hanover. which transmitted the propwais or Prussia to the centr.

The govern ment hes not yet received no authentic' intelligence that the nest has been ordered to hold keel' in readiness foesailitte. But eo much is certain, that the lien cannot winter in the Weser. ithnold the reports which are current be smarmed, and should it be in contemplation to realise the plans indicated, the Prussian government would see therein • deep violation of rierbt, end a decided breath of faith. Certainly this hasty admiaiwation of an e2th to this crews does give some colour to such reporter ; but the government cannot hallows that the antral power nader•tand its plus so little as to dispose ett freely of German property. Meanwhile it will keep a watch ful eye upon this concern, sad take all the moms at its dis• peen to protest the rights of Peoria and of the allied states Mannteaffel having announced to the committee on the finances that the government had dropped all intention for the present of intrados:fog ea u9nulas ..6ll tion of the land -tax, Harkort hoe gives notice of a motion in the Sorted Okambor for beilg en eltwo 10, one of *lick terepeosts hunMarr to all Prussia, and the o th er a transitory aw for the abolition of exemptions from the land-tax, stet pre liminary discussion and report by the committee for finances. The motive assigned is that the 100th article of the octroyed cot stitution provides that the existing laws with regard to taxation shall be subjected to reviron, opon which emersion all privileges will be abrlisted. The taxation laws wen subjected to • thorough sifting in the sections of the National Amtembly, and in the committee formed out of these sections, and the bil's which Hsrkcrt brings forward were the result of those labour,.

The singing club of t) little town consists of upwards of 400 TOiCOP, who sang in splendid chorea under the windows of the statesman who represents the Prussian League.

It is reported that • diplomatic congress is to take place at Vienna, to deliberate on the German ques tion. Tee day fixed for the meeting of the repre sentatives of the German states is said to be the 27th (yesterday). Count Bernigsen, from Hanover, and Count Beet, from Saxony, have already gone there. The Sn vita general, Knicisamin, has paid us a flying visit, and returned to Vienna. The substitute which has been found for Canits, as representative of Prussia in the Verioalliags-rath, in the person of the old tore-March mini-ter Bodel sehwingh, is a strikirg indication of the lack of earnestness of the Prussian court in the German question. A great deal of irritation is expressed in the minis. terial prints against Austria. The . policy of the court and the ostensible policy of the cabinet are so entirely distine, that no demonstration of this sod deserves mush attention. The Btants-Anzeiger contains an ordinance, ad mitting the public to the use of the telegraphic means of communication, under certain condition', which are defined at great length. The Second Chamber held a sitting to-day, bat nothing of interest turned up. The Neilson el the oonstitution was costianed. The Prince of Prussia will be at Weimar on the 30th, where the princess spends her birth-day. AUSTRIA.—Latest new' from Vienna to Sep tember 26.

HAMBURG, Bars. M. In yesterday's con cent both bills brooght is by the Seeds were serried by large majorities; the opposite Party, having given spelt* game as lost, appeared but in small numbers. The conservati►es had parish meetings the night before, to agree about members to be elected to the mixed committee, 4 senators and 6 citizens, which is to investigate the new constitution, to treat with the Constituent Assembly, and try to get them to accede to mcd , ficatiots as prepared by the senate, and, if not succeeding in that attempt, to propose to the Senate such measures as they thick prop r. They fixed upon members of the corpora Lion exclusively belonging to their own party ; the five commissioners, as well as their deputise, are com pletely reactionary. Toe Senate, too, named its four commissioners; but whether thew belong to the liberal or to the retrograde party cannot be eacertaised, all the members of that body having taken the oath sot to divulge their proceedings or anything connected with them. By the other bill the finance department is empowered to raise, se a forced loan, 430,000 marks bane*, and to give lottery obligations in payment of it. Ttese obligations were left on hand last year, the bankers who had taken the first moiety refusing the second. In July laet, when the Senate propo , ed in cotvent an entrain dinary property and income-tax to cover the deficit of the current year, the motion was negatived and part of the loan in question employed fw that purpose. Last week again the same tax was asked and refused. HOLLAND The deputation of the Second Chamber presented to the Kirg, on the 27th alt., the address in r.ply to the speech from the throne.

No injury was done at the first shots. By the second the count was severely wounded in the shoulder and neck, and Sergeant Boichot received a ball tot tweA2 the ribs of the left side.

Beige: The Levant post b►ings news that great sensation had been excited at Athens by the publication of • (erste. from M. Coletti, in which the most serious charges are brought against M.

The senate bad placed to the order of the day a proposition conceived in the rcu.t energetic terms, to the end that all relations do cease between that assembly and a minister placed in such a situation.

Prince R.Asivil. the Emperor of Russia's aids-de camp, whom arrival I mentioned to my last letter, will leave cernstantinople tomorrow on his rears to Warsaw. Immediately on arriving the prince had an interview with the Grand Visier, and the following day he was honoured, with an audience by the Sultan. Prince Radsivil delivered to his Majesty an autograph letter from the Emperor Nicholas, in which he demands that the Polish end Hungarian refugee now in the Turkish territory Rail be gives int* the power of those governments spinet Mhos they. bed dared to rebel. The Sala was vary much irritated by the brusque tone of the Comb hater, and his words and manners showed how muck he was displeased. Turning towards the minis ter of foreign affairs, the Sultan said, " tell this man that In e, day or two he shall have an answer.' In their reply to the demands of Russia, the Turkish government say that the Czar cannot claim the Polish refugees under any (Ws.' treaty, for *hat they are not and never have subjects, properly speaking, for since the late subjugation of their reentry they have constantly lived in exile, re fin ing to give in their allegiance to the Emperor Nieholas. The Parts also appeals to the prineiplea of humanity and to the common law of nations, and As may be supposed, Sir Biatford Canning and the French minister, General Aupic, have not been idle sines the arrival of the Czar's aide-de-camp. They have been using all their influence to induce the Poi to to resist the demands of Russia, but at the same time, not to adopt such a tone as might lead to serious re sults. The British assbastsdar, it is mid. is my anxious that the matter should be left to arbitration, and has mentioned Loudon se a proper place for a friendly arrangement of the question in dispute. I do not know if the Porte hes agreed to the suggestion of Sir Brarford Canning, but orders have been sent t Food Eff. ndi, the Turkish commissioner in the prin cipalities, to repair to S. Petersburg. Foad Effendi, it is said, is to have full powers to treat with the Russian cabinet on the subject of the Polish and Hungarian is !age's. Prince Radsiviis language in private is very war like. He talks of a Russian army of 50,000 men being ready to c-oss the frontier. The public here are most anxiously looking forward to tl e termination of this affair. Every one seems to anticipate some hostile remonstration on the part of Russia. The Sultan, I know from very rod authority, is deter mined to adhere to his original resolution of not yield iog to the rill:wads of Russia under any circum stances. After to-morrow the Sultan will review the whole a the large army at present assembled in the neigh bourhood of Ca-stahtinople. In cavalry, artillery, and infantry there are more than 100,000 men. A Turkish man-of-war steamer left this yes.erday for the Danube. It is said that the Hungarian and Polish refugees, ht present at Widdin, are to return in her to Constantinople.

Bsrrewnsa 16. The French steamer is not yet gone, nor will it leave for some hours longer. Since yesterday morn ing the question of extradition has taken a still more serious turn. Prince Radzivil, the Czar's aide-de-camp, has re fused to accept an audience of the Sultan ! M. de the Russian minister, ye ott rdsy after noon, seats note to the Porte, statiant that if withhr thirty hours he did not receive a simple answer of yes or no" to the Emperor's letter he would sus pend relations with the Turkish government. _ _ The Sultan had granted an audience of leave to Prince Itadzivil, and it was expected that in that in terview his Majesty would make known to the aide de•camp of the Cur his intentions on the question of extradition. As won as Ali Paella, the Minister of Foreign Affeirs, had communicates to M. de Titoff the intelli gence that instructions had been sent to Foad Effendi to ;raved to St. Petersburg, for the purpose of ex plaining to the Emperor the intentions of the Sultan in the question of extradition, and of removing any irritation from his mind,the Russian envoy sent in the note to which I have alluded in a foregoing paragraph. In this note M. de Titoff intimates that Foad Effendi's mission will prove totally useless, that all thoughts of discussing the subject are absurd ; that it is the will of the Emperor that the Polish and Hungarian re fuzee@ be given up, and that within thirty hours the Porte must answer categorically whether they will obey the Emperor or not. In the history of civil'ee I nations, never did one government attempt such au outrage upon another, and never (I'd an envoy offer such an insult to the rincereign to whose court he was accredited, as has Prince Redsivil to the Sultan of Turkey. Prince Radziva avowed openly that it was the in t otion of the Emperor Nicholas to hang the Hun garian and Polish refugees the instant he got them into his power. A feeling of humanity alone was sufficient to prevent the Sultan and his ministers from being accessories to such horrible atrocity. Upon this ground the Porte wished to appeal in favour of the refuges", but they looked for pity where roue ever existed. There is no treaty which gives Russia a right to the blood of there hapless patriots • and as far as precedent is oosoerned,it is entirely in fa: roar of the Turks. Prince Hangerly, originally a rajah Greek, was with his father implicated in a conspiracy against the government of the Sultan. On the plot being discovered, father and son took refuge in Russia, and when the Porte demanded that they should be given up, the cabinet of St. Petersburg not only refused, but thews was made a Russian 'object, and was sent back to Constantinople as head drago- man to the Russian embassy. Though Austria sometime since rent in a note to the Porte demanding the extradition of the Hungarian refugees, it was a proceeding adopted rather in com pliance with the wishes of Russia then originating solely with the cabinet of Vienna. Austria has of late been nothing more than the cat's-paw of the Czar. In Hungary she is made to do all the dirty work and to bear all the odium. Her triumphs have, indeed, been ruinous, her vic•ories suicidal. She has found out how deadly is the friendship of Russia, now that she lies crushed order the gifts of her ally. It is generally believed that Count Stormer, the Austrian minister, would willingly come to an amicable arrangement with the Torkish meat in the present question, were he not for to yield to Russian dictation. THEILAPLi, Sam 11. SUSPENSION OF RELATIONS.—It was late lest night when the Porte communicated to the Russian and Austrian embassies their final decision on the question of extradition. The fear of a suspension of relations with Rosin has not deterred the Turkish government from remaining firm to those principles of humanity and honour which have distinguished their conduct throughout the whole of the pres•nt proceedings. The Sultan's ministers have unanimously agreed to reject the demand of the Emperor. Prince Redzivil will leave Constantinople within a few hours for St. Petersburg, to communicate to the Emperor the decision of the Ports. M. de Titoff has suspended relations with the Turkish government. I send you this letter by a French man-of-war steamer, which carries the English and Frendh am bassadors' despatches to Marseilles. The French ordi nary mail packet left this yesterday evening without wasting for the decision of the Turkish government. You know in Ragland as well as we do here what is to be anticipated from the fury of the Emperor ' Nicholas when he hear, of the spirited conduct of the Turkish govsloment.

SUNDAY TRAVELLING IN SCOTLAND.—In the report of the meeting of the Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee Railway, which appeared in the Express of Thursday last, it was stated that a motion to discontinue the running of trains on Sundays was met by an amendment, and that the former was carried by a majority of 324 to 81 votes. This was an error. The ameselinene was carried by the majotity of 243. We are the more anxious to notice the unintentional mistake, an this large majority, together with the victories over the indefatigable advocates of unnecessary Sabbath restrictions which have beat lately gained in the North British and Caledonian railways, shows that the great bulk of bosedlade Scotch shareholders are in favour of Sunday trains.
