The Emperor will review the troops destined for Sleswig to-morrow. The troops will be forwarded on Wednesday, divided temporarily i:.to 50 separate trains of 1,000 l awn each, by way of Breslau and Berlin. THE AUSTRIAN EXECUTION TROOPS FOR SLESWIG. VIF.NNA, JAN. 18, Evrainra. The review of the Austrian troops destined for Sleswig took place this afternoon, instead of to morrow, as was expected. Field-Marshal Lieute nant Von Galbenz will take the command of the troops, whose strength has been exaggerated. Instead of 50,000 they will hardly number 20,000 man. It is asserted that the Lower House of the Reichs rath will refuse the credit of 10,000,000 florins demanded by the government to cover the expenses sxecu is §ltswg‘.. PRUSSIAN MILITARY MOVEMENTS. BEILLTN. Jax. 18. Prince Frederick Charles, accompanied by his staff, will leave Berlin on Wednesday next. That portion of the 3rd Army Corps which has not been mobilised will be placed on a war footing. The reserves of the Guards and the 4th Army Corps are being called in. The Artillery of the Guards and one-half of the Artillery of tbe 4th Army Corps have received orders to bold themselves in readiness to march. The statement that the 6th Army Corps has been placed on a war footing is entirely unfounded. It was only on the most urgent representations OD the part of his ministers that the King of Han. over sanctioned the march of Prussian troop, through the kingdom. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. THOILV, J. 1& News received here from Warsaw to the 27th inst. announces that 48 citizens have been induced by the Commissioners of Police to proceed to the governor of the city to request him to intercede with the Emperor for his Majesty's acceptance of an address expressing the loyalty of the citizens of Warsaw. They were very kindly received. THE CORPS LEOISLATIF.-DEBATE ON THE ADDRESS. PARIS, JAY. 18. The debate upon commercial reform was conti nued to-day in the Corps Legislatif. Speeches were made by MM. Pagezy,Aucel, Forcade La Roquette, David, Deschamp, and the Duke de Moray. The amendment brought forward by the oppoei`_ Lion was finally rejected by 182 against 50 votes. Paragraph 11. of the address was then adopted. The debate on the paragraph relative to the finances will commence to-morrow. PROCLAMATION OF GARIBALDI. TURIN, JAX. Is. The Diritto publishes an address from Garibaldi, announcing the formation of • committee to promote Italian union. He invites the Italians to rally round this centre, and to recognise its authority. The Dip itto has been seised, and the case will be brought before the courts. A despatch has been published from the Minister for Foreign Affairs to Chevalier Nigro, accepting the proposition for a " restricted" Congress. THE ITALIAN PARLIAMENT. TURIN, JAN. 18. In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the Keeper of the Seals presented a bill for the suppression of religious corporations and the abolition of tithes. Intelligence received from Naples announces the arrival in that city of the Prince and Princess An toine Bonaparte. THE NEW SPANISH MINISTRY. MADRID, JAN. 18. The Ministry hu been constituted to-day as follows: ---- - President of the Council and Minister of State, Senor Lorenzo Arrazola. Minister of Justice, Senor Alvarez. Minister of Finances, Senor Trupita. Minister of the Interior, Senor Benavides. Minister of War, General Lersundi. Minister of the Colonies, Senor Castro. Minister of Public Works, Senor Moyano. The Cabinet is not considered likely to remain long as at present formed. THE AUSTRO-PRUSSIAN ULTIMATUM TO DENMARK. The Oat Deutsche Post, after stating that Austria and Prussia propose to dispense altogether with the action of the Diet in the Danish question, and to occupy Slessig themselves as great powers, goes on to remark : It cannot be doubted after this declaration that the Aus tria, and PINISAILIS troops, which hitherto have been kept r reserve, Lye received orders to march. The prompting* with which this joint declaration followed the voting proves that a complete understanding must have been established bet wean both German governmeets, and perhaps we shall hear to-morrow that a force of 30,000 Austrian sad Prussian Irons hes been despatched to Hamburg by the shortest route. For this step the prepsratioes have Meg beep made, but will they undergo say alteration' The Austrian troops must, at all rents, traverse the territory of the C,oofedera. tioo. Have they the debt to pass through at • time when they are acting oontnu7 to the resolution of the Coot/dere tion, even when by that act the very resolution of the Coo. federation is nullified!

These undertakings are all founded on tbe print* I. of the in terventin of a society, with large subscribed capital and con sequent credit, enabling it to raise money on the m.-rat favoura ble terms, as an intermediary between borrowers and lenders seeking investment on landed security. The di ff iculty. delay, and heavy ante incurred in effecting the I mortgage of even RIM-clam property, are well known - and there are numerous valuable interests arising out of land which are at present elm,-at wholly unavailable as a warm of credit, eye daily In times of lineneal depression.

All the necessary preliminary steps have been taken for apply ing to parliament In the ensuing session for a special act In aid of the Company's operations: and with a view immedisteiy to secure to the Company a field for the commencement of bantams, provisional and remunerative arrangements have been made for operations of an rittailVe character In connexion with securities created for the improvement of land, under the Lands improve merits Company's Acts of Parliament, and which are preference charges on valuable private estates. Upon the basis of the securities than acquired, the Company will issue Mortgage Debentures at Axed rates of Interest, payable half-yearly, for shorter or longer terms. as may suit investors: and such a system of registration will be adopted as will effectively protect the lenders from any over Tao le of deben tures by the Company.

P., at the meeting of t he Mer chant and Traders' Association at Nottingham,on Thursday, in proposing the toast of "Prosperity to the town and trade of Nottingham" said :—" It is natural on an con eon like the present, when on. twelve month has passed since a meeting of a similar kind, that we should take • review of what were our views sad prospects at that time and compare them with what has been the state of the town of Nottingham and the country in general since that period. I think I can say that when we look at oar anticipations at that time, we must say that the year that has passed over us has passed with less difficulty and lees suffering than we, moat of us, expected, and rea sonably expected also. The affairs of the world were thee dark, sad they still retain the same deep and sombre colour. Therms war which we all so much regret is still raging in America, and as far as we cao judge, with no nearer prospect than then existed for its termination. The honzon of Europe is still mere troubled than it was in the former year. bat I treat that the same gracious Providence which has directed our affairs through this year will be with us is the future, and will share in the extreme sufferings which might have to ne endured should this ostion be plunged into war. (Hear.) I see around me so many gentlemen of both political parties that it is but mere common good taste that I should refrain from any topic likely to excite any party feeling whatever, but I think we all, Lord Derby as well u the whole of the liberal party, agree that our foreign policy has been directed wisely sod successfully, end has been attended with the roaintepanee of peace, and I trust that Lord Palmerston, who throughout his hug life has shown how much he values peace as well as the maintenance of the honour of the country, will continue to preserve our pacific relations. The great duff; cults which has been felt in the trade of this country has bees the want of thestipply of raw material for the manu facture of cloth. Now exertions are being made is all parts of the world to supply that want, and with great success, to obtain a supply of cotton from other places than America ; and, therefore, it is to be hoped that the present high prices will decrease still more rapidly. (Hear, bear.) I carnet but look upon this as one of the beuetits of this awfal trial to which human nature has been subjected, as I think that one beneficial result will be that the world will not be dependent ou one country alone for the supply of as article of such general want as cotton. It must strike any one with surprise that this country in its general prosperity his not suffered more eon it has done. I find the revenue is unimpaired, that the exports of the country have rather increased than diminished ; but I think that we cannot hod an explains tire for tbia in the way that some public writers do, because the eoormons enhancement of the price of the raw material has made such a difference is the value of the article that I believe the export of two thirds of the amount of menu featured goods in general clothing would reach to as high • moue amount as the whole quantity did before, and, therefore, although the exports from this country have been equal to what they were before, they have sot pro duced the same employment for the people, or the same profit for the meoulacturer. (Hear, hear.) But still, not withstanding that, and perhaps partly in consequence of the bounteous harvest, which, beyond all precedent, I he. here is the most bounteous that this lend has ever bees blessed with, the sufferings of this country have bees miti gated. We find that the railway tra ffi c hasinereased during the past twelve months. The large quantity of awe which has been sent from the rural districts to the great seats of manufacture and population was one of the causes of this increase, and this can has been consumed instead of °ors having been imported from abroad. But still I think that there is a margin left to show that the country has not, on the whole, suffered in any degree so much as we might have expected it would, and I trust that the supplies of cotton which we have got from other countries than America may Morose, and that the trade of Nottingham may Jerome with it is my most earnest desire. I believe that the very fart of the considerable enhancement is price to which I have alluded prevents customers from coming forward, makes them hold off as long as they possibly can, and that the stock in the shops of the retailers must be very nista rielly brought down before they will come to the maeufac curers for • fresh supply. Bat that is in its nature thee. table, and as those stacks are sow in a great measure ex hausted, the retailers are now applying to manufactures to replenish their stores, and I trust that in the cominisity here we shall have more employment for the workmen, and that our manufacturers will have more customers. (Hear, hear.) I beg to propose to you the town and trade of Nottingham." [Stamped, ld. Additional.) SAXONY AND THE sLESWIG-HOLSTEIN QUESTION. The following further despatches have been ex changed between Mr. Murray, the English Minister in Dresden, and Baron von Beust, the Saxon President of the Council, upon the Sleswig-Holstein question : MIL NOBLY TO DAWN TON NiCST. tomtits, Jul. 8, 1861. I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of the sots which your exisellesey _has addressed to ins under date of the bth inst , and which was banded to me upon the evening of the 6th. I have not failed immediately to forward • copy of it to Earl Russell, Minister fat Foreign Affairs in London. Although it will be the part of his excellency to express himself subsequently upon the obeervations you have addressed to me in the above-mentioned note, 1 moue allow them to pus entirely without reply, for fear your excellency should think I admit their justice sod validity. You will permit me to observe in the first place, that the note I had the honour to address to you did not contain • word attacking "the honour of the Saxon flag" for if the English Government Ina (mod somethieg Mammas in the conduct of the German troops in Holstein, where they are placed in • country making pert of the Confederation, and in which they have encountered no opposition, no at tack is made upon the honour of their flag, for all the re eponsibility for their acts is attributed to the Commissioners charged by the Diet with the actual government of the province where they are stationed. What was, them the motive actuate, Earl Rummell to observe that their conduct in Holstein had been cootrary to the resolution of the atille alma as to Unties l It appoint, me that it is Apt difficult to find. The German troops entered Haste* to any out • Falsest execution ordered by the Diet ; the object of thin formal act was known by all Europe ; it was to take poseessice of this province and to govern it until certain difference* existing between the Kin of Denmark in his quality as Duke of Holstein acd the Cooloderation should be settled in • legal and satisfactory manner. This decree of the Diet imposed upon its officials abused with the administration during the execution the duty of ex ercising their functions with impartiality and rigid equity. sad above all controlling the movements of hot and non e. ..king permits, whose object was, under pretext of main taining German rights, to overstep aU the measures autho rised by the Diet, and to tread under foot the treaty of 1852, signed hy the five great Powers of Europe. Let us see how the Commissioners have fulfilled these duties. The troops of the King of Denmark had scarcely withdrawn from Hol stein and the forces of the Confederation entered that duchy before the Priem of Augustetiburg arrived. and caused himself to be proclaimed legitimate sovereign of the duchies of Sleswig-Holstein is various plum, without any opposition upon the part of the Commissioner-, and (if the reports in the newspapers are to be emitted) the wolainatioas of the Saxon troops were joined to those by which the Prime wan greeted by the population of Hol stein. Ido sot attempt, M. le Minister, to prejudge the find solution which wiU decide the quest ion of tin 'unma sk* in the duchies, but I venture to affirm that the above cited fads give every impartial man a right to say that the Federal execution, as administered by the German authori ties in Holstein, has been not only opposed to the order of the Diet but a lso to justice. I our excellency is pleased to say that the conduct of the Federal troops io • country of the Confederation in which they are stationed in consequence of • decree of the Diet is • subject which in no degree concerns • foreign govern ment. This is • proposition which no one would have dis puted if these troops and the authorities which direct their movements had kept themselves within the limits of their competence ; but when they coffer that under their eyes, • Prince, who without their protection would not have been able toset foot in the country, openly proclaims himself the sovereign of two duchies long appertsioiog to the Leak►h Crown and devolved upon the reigning King by a treaty signed by the five great Powers of Europe, your excellency will excuse me if I am unable to admit that this is • subject which in no degree concerns one of the signitan Powers. As to the phrase in which Earl Russell mentioned Bavaria sad Wurtemberg as sharing with Saxony the respon sibility of the consequences which might result from the manner to which Federal execution has been carried out In Holstein, I ought to inform you that the note which I had the hoooar to address to you on the Mb instant was only the translation of • telegram which I had received from his excelleocy ; and although in manages sent by the telegraph it is the practice to give the outline of an idea and sot to state it in detailed explanation, I found no difficulty in understanding by moms of the coo text the seem of the phrase in which your excellency con ceives you have found a proof of *Donnas of affairs pass ing in Germany. The remendbility . which the phrase (as 1 usderstamd it) attributed to Bavaria, Saxony, and Wur temburg referred to the assistance which these three governments have given to the pretensions of a Prince who has proclaimed himself sovereign of the duchies of Sleserig and Holstein before the question of his right; had been decided by competent audio ride*, by placing himself at the bead of the movement is Germany which exercises • pressure upon the two great German Powers, and the object of which is to compel them to violate the' obligations which they had contracted in signing the treaty of 1832 (to which the majority of the German States have also adhered or sweated). Earl Russell conaiders that tines three goverumeete share • gr ave and when his excellency adds that, 'if the troops of the Cade deletion invade Ellentig before the Powers who signed the treaty of London have been able to make known their opinions upon this subject the most serious consequences may result," there is mist the slightest intention or idea of menace in his expressions. They constitute a simple affir mation of his opinion that this step might bring about con sequences now unforeseeo and dangerous to the repose and well-being of Europa—Receive, Ice, ( , ii8 01 ) Ca A. MURAT. BARON TON DEOST TO OIL =BRAT. Dresden, Jan. 10, 1864. The note which yen did me the honour to address to me upon the sib instant reached me yesterday. I cannot sufficiently express my tbuks for your extremely obliging conduct in thus explaining to me the real subject of the note which you were good enough to forward to me upon the sth instant. It impossible that I should not ex peanut the most lively regret that I was not earlier placed sea position to understand it, that, 1 might bays replied is • manner more satisfactory to you sa well as to myself. If I bed known that your office extended to acquaint , iv, me with the objections that the government of her Mtaosie Majesty believesitself bound to man in relation to the meaner in which the Federal Commusionen execute their task, I should have confined myself, as I do to-day, to requesting your obliging intervention in asking Earl Russel to address himself to the Diet. It is the part of that body to determine what effect it might. in such a ease, think fitting to give to the representations of • foreign power. But, H. Is Ministre, permit me to recall to your recollec doe that you alluded to reprehensible conduct on the part of the German troops, including thereon the Saxon troops, in Haitian. A reproach of this kind strikes at military homier, therefore at the honour of the flag, sad I owe it to the brave army of the King to repel the reproach with eurgy. You oite one single fact in its support. if this fact be comet, which remains to be confirmed, I have oo dorbt it will meet with disapproval, although it would not in soy way justify the accusation of conduct " contrary to justice." It is, nevertheless, my duty to repeat once more that 'bee Federal troops occupy a territory of the Confederation by order of the Diet, we cannot recognize the right of soy foreign government to demand in any quarter an espies*. tion of their ooadocs. I trust I may hope that after having laid my last note Earl Riumell you will have the kindness to pursue the sameemuse with the communication I have the honour to address to you to-dn.—Receive, fie. Plaid) Burr. --- Tan OZBYLN Hciartrar..—The annual meeting of this charity was held yesterday at the Loedos Tavern ; Mr. H. Gaedeckens in the chair. The Rev. A. Walnuts, the seereurr. read the report, which cease...tainted the friends of the hospital os its Meresaing prosperity—the last year being the first for some years past in which the income had exceeded the expenditure. The income for 1863 showed 3,9661. 7s. 3d. against 3,6091. 6s. 2d., in 1862 ; while the ex penditure had decreased, via., 3,581/. in 1863 against 3,6211. In 1862. The new building was nearly completed, and would furnish 100 beds. The memorial store would be ' laid in May seat by the Duke of Cambridge. and the an niversary dinner would take place in February under the presidency of the Earl of Canes vim. The 'lumber of ru patients dories 1863 was 789, of whom 644 had been cured, arid the number of patients remaining in the hospital on December 31 wee 47. The number of outpatients durini the same period was 16,681—a large number of both classes being natives of the United Kingdom. The total number of is-patients sine the opening of the hospital hot been 12,340, of ont-mMente 146,572, independently of 9,022 deals! cues. The financial statement showed the gross receipts of the year to be 3,9661. 7s. 3d., and the expeedi tare 3,5811. 10s. Id, hark* a Warms of 3841.175. 2d. The funded property amounted to about 25,0001.. The building fond now amounted to 10,0001., and a further sum of 5.0001. would be required to defray the cost of erection and fitting up, which it was hoped would be subscribed without touch ing the funded property. The report concluded by a refe. ream to the deaths dories the pest year of several influen tial and zealous friends of the charity. The report having been adopted, Lord H. Vane, Baca Meyer de Rothschild, and Sir A. Rothschild were elected as v ice- presidents, and the oommittee and officers for the sands, year were elected. Votes of thanks to the medical officers and the chairman osoelnded the proceedings. ROYAL Fara HOSPITAL, GRAT's-INS-110AD.—The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending Jan. 16 wee 3,240, of which 983 were new cam. [TWOPENC: AMERICA. Advice' from New York by the Asia are to Jan. 5. There is no news of importance from the army of the Potomac. A reconnsuisanoe made by Grng's cavalry on the 2nd of January, as far as-Warrewn ton discovered no rebel force in that vicinity. The convalescents, conscripts, and volunteers daily arriving equal in numbeis the men furloughed. An order has been issued by General Meade, pro hibiting all newspaper correspondents from pub lishing the number or designation of regiments re , eulistmg or leaving the army, or the number of met, fluioushed. Provost Marshal General Patrichrequirea. rectenrolment to be made of all the civilians within the army lines. This is designed to reach those who have sought refuge within the lines to avoid the draft. _ _ . ilTeilattintu; Sun states that General Meade will soon be superseded by General Hancock. The rebel General Early, with three brigades of Ewell's corps, besides the forces of Imbodeu, Neil, and Fitzhugh Lee's cavalry, at last ac counts, had advanced down the Shenandoah Valley below Newmarket. On the Lt of January the Federal pickets at Winchester were driven as far as Bunker Hill, and it was expected that the rebels would make a further advance. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has not yet been disturbed, and ample preparations are being made for its defence. The Federals there are prepared for any attack. There is no further news from Knoxville or Chattanooga. Charleston dates to the 30th December have been received. At midnight on the 24th the Federal batteries opened on the city, which was set on tire in several places, and much damage is believed to have been done. The Confederates had been erect ing batteries along Stono river, and OR the _pith upon the gunboat Marblehead, doing the vessel serious damage. The steamer Pawnee came up and silenced the battery, four guns of which were captured by a force landed for the purpose. There had been no movement by the fleet. An arrival from Key West brings news of the destruction of the Confederate salt works, worth nearly 3,000,000 dole., on St. Audrew's Bay, by the steamers Bloomer and Restless. The town of St. Andrew's was burnt to the ground by the crews of the vessels. These works were the principal source of supply for salt of the South, and the loss will be irreparable. It is said that the government has despatched a special commissioner to inquire into and report upon the efficiency of the blockade, as rumours of successful blockade running at Wilmington con tinue to be received. Advices have been received from New Orleans to the 27th December. Everything was quiet in the city. The 13th army corps was encamped back of Algiers. It was rumoured that Commodore Porter's gunboats, supported by • force of infantry, were soon to ascend the Red River. In the Teche country the condition of affairs remained unchanged. The 19th army corps guarded the line from New Iberia to Berwick Bay ; beyond that the country was entirely in the hands of the Confederates. In Western Texas the Federal forces were making steady progress. At last accounts they had occu pied Indianola without opposition. General gruder had issued a proclamation declaring that the defence of Western Texas would not be abandoned, but that the Confederate troops were marching to repel the invaders, that San Antonio and Austin were being rapidly fortified, and that the " Van : dale" would be driven back to their ships. He ' urged the minute men, and all capable of bearing arms, to organise at once and proceed to the camp of General Bee at Victoria. There is nothing further from Brownsville. . . A despatch from Leavenworth, Kansas, states that a light occurred on December 14 in the Cherokee country, between one thousand Coefede rates under Quautrill, and the Indian brigade under Colonel Phillips ; the light lasted several hours, and resulted in the defeat of the Confederates, who were scattered in all directions. The Indians in that region are said to have become quite loyal. Five hundred parolled Union prisoners from Richmond arrived a few days since at Annapolis. They were in good health and condition. It is said that the government is determined that the Confederates shall recognise General Butler, and that the exchange shall only be effected through him. All the Southern prisoners in the North are to be placed in his hands, and 30,000 of them are about to be concentrated at Point Lookout to await the result of pending negotiations. President Davis . and Commissioner Ould are said to be in favour of recognising Butler; but Secretary Benjamin, who outlawed him, has secured a majority in the Cabinet vote on the subject, and seems determined that Butler shall not be recognised. The obstacles to an ex change presented by this new difficulty appear to be as insurmountable as the original dispute between Commissioner Ould and General Hitchcock. The examination of three of the Chesapeake pri vateers was commenced at St. John, N. 8., on the 4th of January. The counsel for the prisoners took exception to the form of the warrant,and contended that the case did not come within the provisions of the extradition treaty,as the offence was committed on the high seas, and not within the jurisdiction of the United States. The magistrate reserved his judgment on these points. A letter recently intercepted by the War Depart ment disclosed the fact that W. X. Hilton, a print er in New York, was engaged under contract with the Southern Confederate Secretary of the Treasury, in furnishing notes, bonds, dio., to the South, and that he was about to proceed to Richmond to superintend a printing and engraving establish ment. Hilton was arrested and consigned to Fort Lafayette. In his p sion were found six mil lion dollars in Confederate bonds ready for signa ture. _ . . Major D'Arinsay and Lieutenant Davis, two Confederate officers recently convicted by court martial of recruiting within the Federal lines, were conveyed to Fort Warren last week, and sentenced to 15 years' imprisonment. The Cincinnati Gazette publishes information received from a gentleman recently from Richmond, whom the Gazette believes to be perfectly reliable, to the effect that the Confederate leaders Lave determined upon a desperate concentrated effort to regain possession of Tennessee and Kentucky, even if they sacrifice the coast to do so. The informant also states that the Confederates have received copies of all recorded papers in the War Department at Washington up to last November. They know what regiments will serve out their term in the spring, and are determined to raise by that time a force sufficient to overpower General Grant and L I regain the lost territory. Negroes are to be used for garrison duty, and the new conscription is to embrace every male capable .01 bearing arms.
