STAMPED, SD• noted. The priesthood seems to have frankly adhered to the popular cause. The peasants, we learn, went in masses to vote for annexation headed by their priests. We congratulate the Italian clergy on this tardy wisdom. They have learnt, it seems, that no body of men, however well organised, however sub tle and energetic, can long control the impulses of a resolute people ; and when the folly of resistance is demonstrated the only step is to resign them selves, and endeavour to lead the movement they cannot stem. This acceptance of Italian nationality by the clergy will, we trust, satisfy even Irish Ultramontanes of the uselessness of any further agitation. In no country has tne Catholic laity been so besotted as to refuse their sympathies to the Italian people in this long struggle for freedom, and we may hope that the counsels of the Catholic Powers will finally restore religious peace to the enfranchised nation. A great victory has been won. Napoleon 111., who owes his throne touni versal suffrage, and who is now appealing to it in his design of extending his frontier, cannot but recognise the unanimous vote of the Italians, and aid them in bringing to a settlement this dangerous and long-vexed question.—Times.

ROYAL LITERARY FUND. contained good harbours and were very fertile, they proceeded up Edgecumbe Bay, and at the bottom ofit discovered a fine capacious harbour which has been named Port Denison,and which would contain nearly all the ships in the world, sheltered from all winds, vith a depth of from three to four fathoms of water within a cable's length of the shore, and about seven to ten in the middle. The CHAIRMAN, after some observations on the subject of the papers, called upon Mr. Jukes to offer some remarks. Mr. JUKES then briefly describei the character of the coast of Australia, particularly that of the north east, and the coral reefs that extend along it, and said that those coral reefs, which rise only as high as low water, extend for 1,200 miles, with an average width of thirty miles, and the sea close to the coral rocks has been sounded to a depth of 1,800 feet without reaching the bottom. The coral polypes which have produced that range of lime stone rocks under the sea cannot live at a greater depth than fifteen fathoms ; therefore it is assumed that in the course of the countless ages durin g which the rocks have been forming the land must have been gradually depressed. Mr. Jukes said that the country along that coast is more fertile than on any other part of the shores of Australia. The moun• tams are about 30 miles distant, and tie interven ing seaboard is capable of producing cotton, sugar, or any other produce of tropical climates. Sir EDWARD BELCHER dissented from Mr, Jukes's theory of the formation of the coral reefs, and said he had dredged up the living polypes from depths of 1,000 feet. He mentioned variations in the level of the rocks at different times of observation, which showed that they were subjected to local depres sions not dependent on any assumed depression of the land. Mr. CRAUFURD said he was glad to congratulate the meeting that there had at last been discovered a tract of land in British possessions within the tropics where cotton might be produced in abun dance, with the assistance of Chinese labour. After some observations from Mr. Wilson and Mr. Saunders, the meeting adjourned to the 26th instant. MN TR A L ITALY. Her Majesty's screw steam sloop Osprey, 4, Com. H. J.

We copy the following from the San Francis** end Ocean Mail Letter Never, as journalists, have we been called upon to comment upon so flag rant and inexcusable an act of brutality as is in volved in Gen. Kibbe's last Indian war—a scheme of murder conceived in speculation and executed in most inhuman and cowardly atrocity. If the account of Mr. George Lount, a resident of Pitt River, be true, Gen. Kibbe and all the cowardly band of cut throats who accompanied him should be hung by the law for murder; for murder it is, most foul and inexcusable. Sixty defenceless Indian women and children killed in their own raneheria at night, by an armed band of white ruffians. The massacre of Glencoe does not afford its parallel for atrocity. This band of Indians were friendly, had committed no outrage, were on their own lands, in their own homes, only 10 Indian men with them, unarmed and helpless. Gen. Kibbe's name, if responsible for these acts, should be more infamous than Hay nau or any of the licensed butchers of tyranny. This massacre is not excused even by the common plea of expediency, policy, or neeessity which has palliated the butcheries of history. The Indians have been driven from their hunting gr ound by the white man's stock. Their fishing racks have been destroyed by the caprice or for the convenience of the white man. Their grasshoppers are driven away by the cultivation of the soil. Their acorns are exhausted by the white man's hog, and, driven to desperation by actual want and starvation, they have stolen the white man's ox. When Governor Weller, on Sept. 15, authorised W. J. Jarboe to or ganise a company of 20 men to make war on the In dians who had been stealing stock, every man pro vided his own horse, rifle, revolver, knife, and am munition. In 70 days they had 15 battles (?) with the Indians ; killed more than 400 of them; took 600 of them prisoners, and had only three of their own number wounded and one killed. In 13 of their fights the whites were the assailants, attacking the red men either in their rancheriae at daylight, or encamped soon after having stolen stock. In two cases the Indians were the assailants.' Brave gal lant Jarboe ! Brave and gallant Twenty.' Under the license of law; under the cover of night ; in the safety of your ambush, you have murdered in fold blood more than 400 sleeping, unarmed, igno rant, unoffending Digger Indians, men, women, and children. Listen to the horrible detail of one of the most atrocious massacres !—' The attacking party rushed upon them, blowing out their brains and splitting open their skulls with tomahawks. Little children in baskets, and even babes, had their heads smashed to pieces or cut open. Mothers and infants shared the common fate. The screams and cries of the victims were frightful to hear, but no supplica tion could avail to avert the work of devilish butchery. It will scarcely be credited that this horrible scene occurred in Christian California, within a few days' travel from the State capital. Humanity sickens at the thought. Many of the fugitives were chased and shot as they ran. Where whole families had been butchered was indicated by heaps of bodies, composed of the mother and her little ones. The children, scarcely able to run, toddled towards the squaws for protection, crying with fright, but were overtaken, slaughtered like wild animals, and thrown into piles. From under the haycocks, where some of them had taken re fuge, they were dragged out and slain. One woman got into a pond hole, where she hid herself under the grass, with her head above water, and concealed her papoose on the bank in a basket. She was discovered, and her head blown to pieces —the muzzle of the gun being placed against her scull—and th as e c ov ered with blood, hild was drowned in the pothe nd. The ground w c brushwood ranches, of which there were 50 or 60, were filled with the dead bodies. Old decrepit squaws, young girls, and infants, none were spared. Guns knives, and hatchets were used, but the f a vourite method appears to have been stav ing in the head with tomahawks. The blush of dawn shone upon this fearful spectacle, and still the massacre went on. Some of the wretched crea tures had lived wit this iniquitous deed goesh the veren who now struck un them clown. Yet punished—unpunished did we say? A bill of nearly 70,000 dols. is now before the Legislature await ing payment, to be distributed, in part, among these crimsoned murderers ! Many of the women were found butchered with their children in their arms —the mother's head blown or cut to pieces, and that of the child split in twain by tomahawks. In their blind and insatiate fury they killed one of their own party (M'Elroy) while firing into a bevy of squaws who had huddled together for protection. When the slaughter was over, the shambles were examined, and more than 60 squaws and children and 10 Indian men were found dead on the field.' Let this matter be thoroughly examined. Let 10,000 dole. be expended to ferret out and bring to justice the guilty party. It is due to humanity. It is due to the fame of the State. It is due to the Democratic party. It is due to the Indian." The annual meeting of the subscribers to the Royal Literary Fund was held yesterday at the office, Great Russell-street, Bloomsbury, Earl Stan hope in the chair. There were also present Mr. W. M. Thackeray, Mr. Monckton Milnes, M.P., Mr. Panizzi, Mr. R. Bell, Mr. W. Tooke, the Rev. Dr. Major, Mr. F. Godwin, &c. The minutes of the last general meeting having been read and con firmed, the hon. secretary read the report of the council for the past year, from which it appeared that during the past year they had expended £1,640 in relieving the wants of distressed authors and their families. The total number of grants , was 49, of which two were of £lOO each, one of £7O, three of £6O each, five of £lO each, and the others of smaller sums. Of the applicants 35 were gentlemen and 14 ladies. Among the latter were five authoresses, the other nine being the widows of authors. Several of the applicants were relieved for the seventh time out of the fund. Of the total sum distributed, the gentlemen received £985, and the ladies £655. The corporation commenced the year with a balance in hand to the extent of £205, including which, its total income arising from the fund, house property, subscriptions, and other sources, amounted to £2,246 2s. 4d. ; deducting from which £1,640 paid in grants, plus £76 19s. 7d.—the balance in hand at the termination of the year—it appeared that T report having the cost of the general management of the fund amounted to £529 2s. 9d. his been received and adopted, the thanks of the meeting were voted to the registrar, treasurers , and auditors of the corporation for their services during the past year. The chairman then said it became his duty to read to the meeting a report of the general committee, in reference to an offer that had been made to the corporation through Mr. Charles Dickens and Mr. Elwyn. This report, without stating the nature of the offer —which, according to rumour, was a large and valuable library—merely stated that the committee, after carefully considering the subject, had come to the resolution to_ decline the proffered gift ; whereupon the offer had been withdrawn. Earl Stanhope then went on to say that the meeting would perceive that the report was a very short one, but that he should at once proceed to inform those present why it was the committee did not think it desirable to go into the matter at greater length. It was simply because they did not think it expedient to state anything which might lead to controversy. The general committee did not trouble itself with the nature of the offer, as their duty was merely to consider whether they should recommend the society to accept it, and under all the circumstances of the case they decided that the offer ought not to be accepted. Whereuuon the two gentlemen through whom it came with - drew it, and there was therefore now no question to be brought before the meeting. It had fallen to his lot to take the chair at some of the meetings of the committee while the subject was being considered, and it was hut just to Mr. Dickens and Mr. Elwyn that he should bear witness to the courtesy, kind ness, and conciliatory spirit which they displayed throughout the whole proeeedings. Indeed nothing could have been more satisfactory. (Hear, hear.) There being now no offer before the society, the question was at rest, and it was not desirable by further discussion to re-open the question. It was not, however, the wish of the committee to fetter the freedom of any gentleman present, to whom it was perfectly open to raise the question. The committee thought that such a course was not de sirable' nor did the gentlemen themselves whose names he had already mentioned wish to have the discussion renewed, and he was sure the meeting would agree with him in the sentiment that, while gentlemen think it a duty by all means in their power to improve the society, they were justified in taking for that purpose whatever course they could reconcile to their own sense of justice, but that it was for the advantage of the meeting to avoid everything like controversy, and confine themselves to the literary and benevolent objects for which they had been incorporated. (Hear, hear.) The more they could, coesistently with these objects, avoid all controversies of an angry character the better it would be for the institution in whose welfare they were all concerned. The re port was then adopted, after which the Bishop of St. David's was elected a vice-president of the cor poration in succession to the late Lord Macaulay ; the Rev. Dr. Croly, the Rev. Dr. Russell, and the Right Hon. E. Cardwell were elected to fill three vacancies in the council, and there being one vacancy on the general committee Mr. W. Thacke ray was elected to fill it. Earl Stanhope, in ex pressing his acknowledgments for the vote of thanks for his conduct in the chair, said he had great pleasure in announcing that the next anniversary meeting would be presided over by that distin guished scholar and historian as well as illustrious • prelate, the Lord Bishop of St. David's. The pro . ceedings then terminated. ROYAL GEOGRAPILICAL SOCIETY. A meeting of this society was held on Monday evening, Sir Roderick I. Murchison, vice-president, in the chair. The papers read were-1. " South Australia. Exploring Expedition into the Interior of the Con tinent," by J. Macd ouga ll S tuart. C omm unicated by the Duke of Newcastle, F.R.G.S. Mr. Macdougall Stuart, whose previous impor tant explorations h ave b een b roug h t a t di▪ fferent times under the notice of the society, and were re warded last year by the presentation of a Oa watch, succeeded, accompanied by two persons, in penetrating to a p o i n t a li ttle higher t h an 27 S. lat., and 136 E. long., a di s t ance of a b ou t 300 mi▪ les be yond the farthest point reached by Babbage and Warburton, the r esu lt o f wh i ch h as b een the dis covery of an imme nse t ract of country, excee ding in richness of pasturage and abundance of water any thing that has yet been met with. Mr. Stuart started from the Emer a ld S pr i ngs e arly in Apri▪ l, and reached his farthest poi n t a b o ut the middle of May, and during th e entire journey was ne ver a day without water. The country traversed eon rabbit hillocks, from 1 00 to 150 feet hi g h, sisted of immense pl a i ns, i ntersperse d w ith inrome summits of which gus h e d out spr i ngs o f p ur e fresh water, intersecting th e pl a i ns an d di sc harging them selves into numerou s cree k s an d r i vers , running in an easterly directio n . O ne of the r i vers d i scovered is described as bei ng, i n one part o f it s coars e, three from the miles wide. Mr. Stuart made occasional detours of between 20 and 25 miles, and found the character of the country everywhere, as far as the eye could reach, the same, an d cons i ders the difficulties in the way of crossing the continent to the northern coast in the vicinity of Cambridge Gulf by no means great ; in fact, he proposes penetrating with a hi g hl y equ i ppe d par ty to dis tances of two o r th ree hun d re d m il es f r om the farthest point gai ne d , w h ere h e p ur poses formi▪ ng depots with supplies, and by this weans to cross the continent. If this be accomplished it would form a direct route f or t e l egrap hi c w i res , which might eventually conne c t th e co l on i es o f Australia with India and Europe. A considerable portion of the district traversed is represented as auriferous, and Mr. Stuart reports the probaVe existence of au extensive gold field (about lat. 28 S., long. 133.50 E.), in a basin surrounded by low hills. Col. GAWLER said that the discovery by Mr. Stuart of a fertile, well-watered country to the north west of Port Augusta confirmed the predictions he had made from meteorological observations. He had always observed that when the wind blew from that direction it was charged with moisture ; whilst the wind from the north-east, which had been ascer tained to be a saline desert, was extremely dry and parching. He said that Australia resembled in its physical conformation an immense crater, there being high mountains all round the coast, from which the land inclined inwards, forming a hollow, and he believed that in the centre of that island-continent there would be discovered a large lake. 2. " Discovery of a new harbour on the N.E. coast of Australia ;" communicated through the Duke of Newcastle, F.R.G.S., through Sir G. F. Bowen, F.R.G.S., Governor of Q ueens l and. I n forwarding extracts from the log-b oo k announc i ng thi s dis covery, Sir G. Bowen observes that, northwards of the southern boundary of Queensland (about lat. 29 deg. S.), ranges of considerable elevation, and ex tensive plateaux of table-land, extend northward to the Gulf of Carpentaria and Torres Straits. This territory, though a large portion of it lies within the tropics, enjoys a Comparat i vely coo l a nd salu brious climate. It is i n rap id process o f occ upation by the flocks and herds o f th e sett l ers. B e tween the table land above menti one d and the coas t of the Pacific lie extensive tracts of soil, admirably adapted for the growth of cotton, sugar, &c. ; timber in vast quantities, and gold, and other minerals abound. These facts rendered the existence of capacious harbours a matter of the highest p r actical import ance—consequently, Capt. Si nc l a i r an d his party, anticipating a handsome reward for the discovery of a good and secure harbour, sailed from Rock hampton (Fort Curtis) in search of one, and also of the mouth of the Burdekin r i ver . After visiting various points and islands to the north (some of which As far as depends on the vote of the population the fate of Central Italy is now decided. The result of the elections in all four provinces of Tuscany, Parma, Modena, and the Romagna, is now suffi ciently known. By enormous majorities, by a vote almost amounting to unanimity, the people have de cided for annexation to the Sardinian Kingdom, and,have utterly rejected both the claims of their legitimate Sovereigns and the scheme - which has been lately put forward by the Emperor of the French. So important a political act has not been performed since the autumn of 1852, when the French nation, by a vote almost as decisive, over threw the Republic, which had been founded less than five years before, and established the imperial Monarchy which now rules their country. The present appeal to universal suffrage will, however, have the sympathies of Englishmen more than any 'I former display of the kind. It cannot be doubted that the act of the population is sincere. A nation which has suffered more than any other in Europe, the whole of whose modern history has been a long record of oppression,—a nation which has not only never known public liberty and national indepen dence, but whose private life has been embittered and degraded by all that the petty tyranny of Courts and the bad activity of a police can perpe trate, has at length been able to pronounce in favour iof union and Constitutional. Government. No one —not even Lord Normanby, not even the organs of the Viennese Government—will venture to say that this extraordinary vote does not express the real feeling of the Italian people. There is no ques tion of force or fraud, of terrorized peasants and cheating ballot-boxes. The Pope, the Austrian press, the Ultramontane clergy, and their few sympathizers in this country, will be able to say that the Italian people aro mad, possessed, led away by the teachings of atheists and revolutionaries; but they will be obliged to confess that, right or wrong, the whole mass of them utterly reject the Government under which they have hither to lived, and desire to link their fate to that of the Monarch against whom Austria would willingly let slip the dogs of war, and at whose head the Pope is ready to hurl an excommunication. Where all are so completely in favour of annexation it is impossible to say that one province exceeds the other in enthusiasm. But undoubtedly the vote in Tuscany and in the Romagna has a greater impor tance than in the two minor provinces. The French Government had already assented to the union of Parma and Modena with Victor Emmanuel's king dom, and consequently the voting there may be taken as merely formal. The addition of these small States to Piedmont seems to excite no jealousy on the part of the Power which desires the Alps as a protection against a too powerful Italy. Austria has made up her mind not to interfere, the popula tion is known to be friendly to Piedmont, they have no traditions of provincial rivalry to keep them apart, and their addition to King Victor Emmanuel's domains may be taken as a matter of course. But we own that we have been much relieved by the approach to unanimity in Tuscany and the Ro magna, for the destiny of these provinces still hangs in the balance. Tae French Emperor cannot be considered to have given up his plan of an inde pendent kingdom in Tuscany, and of a Piedmontese regency in the Papal province. If any considerable number of voters had pronounced in favour of these views the destinies of the two provinces might be very doubtful. A party favourable to Papal suzerainty and to a new Duchy of Tuscany would, when disclosed by the ballot-box, have given encouragement to all the enemies of Italian unity. The apparatus for working on continental popular tions had been carried to such perfection in certain quarters that we may be sure that a fourth, or even a fifth, of the Tuscans or Romagnoli, if supported by France or Austria, would have the power to counteract the wishes of the great majority. But, happily, and we should think somewhat to the surprise of the French Government, the proposi tions emanating from Paris have found hardly a partisan in the two provinces. By the telegrams which we publish it will be seen that in Tuscany not one elector in 25 voted for the sepa rate kingdom. The list is made up, with the ex ception of 108 communes, and stands thus :—For the annexation to Piedmont, 259,000 ; for the sepa rate kingdom, 10,729. Now , we do think that this is a moat remarkable and important result. Nothing can show the fixed resolution of the Italian people more than the Tuscan vote. The Duchy and its celebrated metropolis have a long and glorious history. Every Florentine has been accustomed to consider his city as a capital, as rivalling Rome in the presidency of Italian cities, as the pure fount of Italian literature, and the classic home of art. Nor has Florentine jealousy of other cities wholly died out. Many very prac tical politicians have been in favour of preserving the present Italian sovereignties, and being con tent with uniting them in something like a federa tion, and this solely on the ground that neither Milan, Florence, nor Turin would ever recognise the claims of any city but itself to be the capital of the monarchy. This sentiment has been appealed to and encouraged by the manifesto of the French Emperor. Florence has been told that the greatest potentate of the Continent thinks that she should still remain a capital city, and that the banks of the Arno should still be honoured with the resi dence of a Court and the throng of visitors from all parts of the world. To give up, or, at least, to stand the chance of giving up all this, and at the same time to offend the master of half a million e.t men, has been the choice of the Tuscans. Th e y have voted unconditional annexation to PiOniont, and the small minority which has lister; ea to the counsels of M. Thouvenel only serves to show the preponderance of the opposite opinion. Flo rence i s content to take its rank with the oth er c iti es o f Vi c tor Emmanuel's kingdom i n or d er that the gotoewbjoerctthoyf.ltallnianthuantitpyromvainyebee of Bologna, i s s uff th er e e r d es s u o lt m o u f e t h he fr e o l m ect A io u n s s t i r n i the Romagna priestly mischief, th e P ope has rece i ve d a Austrian oppression lesson.

We trust that we now see the end of the Papal pretensions over this province, and that the Ministers of Pius IX. will learn from the loss of this fair region how necessary it is to rule with wisdom, justice, and mercy. But a year ago the Pope felt himself secure from the anger of his ill-treated subjects. Their complaints and the remonstrances of the world, including the first Catholic Power of Europe, failed to move him. " Non possuinus" was the answer to every appeal in favour of justice and good government. Now the retribution has come. The territory of St. Peter is rent in twain ; in a whole province hardly a frac tion of the people can be found to declare in favour of their former ruler, and they leave the spiritual head of Latin Christendom without a regret to find happiness and prosperity under other auspices. Quo remarkable circumstance remains to be 2HE NAVY. In addition to the vessels now in progress at Chatham Dockyard, Admiralty orders have been received at that establishment directing six line-of battle and other ships to be laid down as soon as vacancies occur in the building slips now occupied. The vessels ordered to be built will include one 91- gun line-of-battle screw steamer, to be named the Pitt; one 51-gun screw frigate, to be called the Pomona ; one 22-gun steamer of 400 horse-power, which will be named the Afenai ; and three other ships, including a 22-gun screw corvette of 400 horse-power ; a 17-gun screw steamer of 200 horse power ; and a 4-gun steamer of 200 horse-power, not named. The aggregate of the six vessels or• dered to be built will be nearly 20,000 tons. The Galatea, 26, screw frigate, 800 horse-power (nominal), in the fitting dock at Chatham, is or dered to be niade_teady to bkattaehed to the second division of the steam reserve'in tits Medway. The Plover gunboat, being built at Woolwich, is ordered to be sent to Chatham, when completed, to be fitted for sea. THE ARMY. Lieut. W. S. Masd, of the Royal Engineer Train, who has been appointed to the Staff of the Commanding Royal Engineer at Dover, has been succeeded at Chatham by Lieut. W. A. Slacke, R.E., who his been attached to the Royal Engi neer Train. _ _ A batch of cast iron guns, manufactured at Low moor, for the purpose of being rifled and strength ened according to Sir Wm. Armstrong's principle, were yesterday tested at Woolwich. The erection of the 20-ton steam hammer for the manufacture of the coils with which the guns are to be enveloped is now complete, as well as the arrangements for making the 100-pounder Armstrong guns at Wool wich. The whole of the buildings ordered to be constructed to give full scope to the establishment are in a forward state, and the factories will be in a working condition at the close of the month, as announced, with an augmentation of 300 practical hands, so as to commence the addi tional operations with the beginning of the ensuing financial year, April 1. A new and successful method for remedying the disad vantage and delay hitherto experienced by the necessity of sponging out the guns under a course of constant firing has been invented by the experi mental officers at Sheeburyness—namely, a lubri cating wad, simply made of hemp dipped in a solu tion of beeswax and grease. The wad has been tried in a course of experiments, and has been found to remedy the fouling effectually. The wax, of course, is placed between the charge of powder and the missile, and, on examination after the discharge, the gun has been found cleaned out, ready for being reloaded: REPEAL OF THE CUSTOMS DUTY ON FO.R.EIGN PAPER. nowma:42upfaWayete2u3ar 235. i r e We are requested by the Association of Paper Manufacturers to publish the following observations upon the statements made by the President of the Board of Trade, in his speech on Monday evening, as the condition of their trade : " 1.

The following extract from a letter of one of our ' principal rag merchants will prove this : ''' ' London, March 13, 1860. " ' The rags export e d t o F rance is 1857 were woollen rags only, the greater portion of which were exported by us ; the demand for them sprang up in France in consequence of the high price of wool.' pa " p 3 e . r ile k a e r r e co t u o l l a d refuse a t ff h o a r t d fi t a n x give. m ro n a m y .be Gibson'sexten sively used in the manufacture of paper.

" 4. We are told that it is a mistake to suppose there is any deficiency in the supply of rags, if we take the whole world as the source of supply, in stead of two or three particular countries. We be lieve this to be true, but, unfortunately, we are shut out from free access to all countries, with one or two exceptions. m ay be converted into paper.

Having for many years given the largest circula tion to the fabrication that the Hungarian op presses the German, the Croat, and the Wallachian, the Austrian officials at last believed the calumny' invented by themselves, and were therefore puzzled to see that neither the Slavonic nor the German population, neither Croat nor - Wallachian, were content with the abolition of the Hungarian con stitutions, with the Austrian officials, and with the new territorial divisions, and that the complete uniformity of the Austrian code, superseding not only the Hungarian but likewise the German common law, which in the Saxon land of Transylvania, in some districts in the county Szepey, in all the German towns had peaceably flourished under the Hungarian consti tution, was looked upon as a gigantic injustice. Surprised by such a result, and seeing especially that the Germans in Hungary make everywhere comment cause with the Hungarians, they try now to create an animosity between the different populations of Hungary, and to rekindle the extinguished fires of national hatred which did them such excellent ser vice in 1818 and 1819. A warm lithographed appeal to the patriotic feelings of the German in habitants of Hungary has lately been extensively circulated ; it is anonymous, and comes by post to every man of note or influence who bears a German name ; the papers are prohibited to print or to men tion it, but the Government officials are busy in spreading it. The author is M. Witt, who calls himself Von Dorring—in 1819 a German conspira tor, in 1821 a carbonaro, for eight years a political prisoner, and since a paid member of the Austrian police, lately entrusted with the editorship of the semi-official Donau Zeitung. He advances the theory that descent constitutes nationality, that to give up the ancestral language is akin to the crime of parri cide, and that Germany has therefore the right of claiming the allegiance of her sons even after cen turies of emigration in any foreign country. He upbraids the Germans of-Hungary. for wearing the Hungarian costume, for speaking the Hufigarian language, and for dancing the Hungarian. dance. He reminds them that Hungary can not maintain a separate existence and must be crushed either by Russia or by Germany, and therefore invites the Germans to assist rather the Austrian Government in this work, the' by their opposition to postpone the crushing process to a time when Russia will perform it. This appeal had no influence whatever on the Ger imns ; they receive it with laughter mixed with indignation. Many of them have for centuries past become so identified with Hungary that nothing but their name is German ; others find it rather bold of M. Witt to advocate a theory according to which not only Mr. Buchanan, the President of the United States, owes still his allegiance to Scotland, and accordingly to Queen Victoria, but which actually makes the Emperor Francis Joseph of Lorraine a Frenchman. The German poets, Chamisso and 1)e La Motto Fouque, are, of course, guilty of a crime akin to parricide, and Necker and Guizot have be trayed Switzerland by becoming Frenchmen. The English nation ought to look closely , upon the Bermes, and the Lussians upon the Nesselrodes and Adlersbers, lest they should betray, as they are bound to do by M. Witt's reasoning, their present country to their real Fatherland. It is scarcely worth while to waste time in refuting this absurd circular, which betrays the ignorance and political childhood of the man to whom the semi-official organ of the Government is entrusted. But since I see that the German press in general is apt to misunderstand the principle of nationality, and to restrict it to persons speaking the same language, and being of the same descent, it is not un necessary to say a few words on this ques tion. Nationality means neither community of laiie ° uage nor a common origin, or else the United States and England would be one and the same nationality, and Switzerland would have no nationality whatever ; the Alsatians would feel themselves Germans not French, and the Channel- Islanders, Frenchmen not English. In Hungary we understand the principle of nationality as com prising the identity of interests and community of history and of institutions, within a clearly-defined, well-bounded territory, making it necessary to all the inhabitants to stand by one another, or to be conquered by foreigners, who have interests dif ferent from ourselves; who do not care for consti tutional government ; whose centre of gravity does not fall within our country ; who do not respect our traditions, our historical development, our standing in universal history. Thus was nationality understood with us for all the centuries past. Our nobility is not of exclusive Magyar descent ; we have Germans, and Serbs, and Italians, and Wal lachians, and Poles, and Slovacks, among them. In 1849, when all Europe believed that our war was an exclusively Magyar movement, our Minis ter of Finance, M. Dessek, was a Croat; the Minister of Justice, M. Vunkovich, a Serb ; the commander of the Transylvanian army, General Bem, a Pole ; and among the thirteen generals mur dered by the Austrians at Arad we find a Count Leiningen and Baron PCltenberg, Generals Lanner and Aulich, of German descent, and Daeaianich, a Serb ; but all of them as good Hungarian patriots as the Kiss, Dessewffys, Kazinczys, Nagy, Sandors, Vecseys, &c., who sanctioned the gallows by their martyrdom. All the country, from the Castle of laveny to the Red Tower, and from the Carpathians to the Adriatic, is called fatherland by the Magyar and the Slovach, the Serb and Croat, the Wallachian and German, living between these landmarks ; it :is their home on the Danube as well as on the Save, on the Transylvanian Car pathians as on the seacoast of the Quarnero. It is for this whole country and not for a portion of it, that the Croat Zrinyis and Juarnichs, the Serb Zinizsys, the Magyar Binthorys and Zapolyns, the Hunyedys and Batthyanyis shed their blood—their names are sacred to the Croat as well as to the Mae7;ar. Even when the bigotry and narrow minded policy of the Austrian house led to the tem porary separation of Transylvania, the Princes of that province always listened to the grievances of their Hungarian brethren, and seven times within a century came to the aid of their oppressed fellow patriots, made war for the rights of Hungary against the Austrian despots, and never sheathed their swords before the Emperor promised to re spect the constitution and religious liberty of all Hungary. The bonds which unite Hungary, Croatia, and Transylvania, with all their inhabi tants, have been cemented by a common history for eight centuries, and even now prove more effi cient than the promises from Vienna and the agita tilia fostered by the Jellachichs, Mayerhofers, sad Urhans. A DUEL PREVENTED AT BRISTOL. (From the Western Daily Press.) On Monday afternoon an application was made to Henry Pritchard, Esq., cue of the city justices of the peace, by Mrs. Carter, the wife of a gentle man named Alfred Thomas Bridgen Carter, under circumstances which led to the issuing a warrant for the apprehension of Mr. A. T. B. Carter, of Row land Cottage, and Mr. George Saunders, of Bel grave Hon=e, surgeon, owing to theformer having sent sent a challenge to fight a duel, v which accepted by the latter. One of the mayors ser geants (Derges) was of the parties named in selectedtll for the apprehension warrant, and about five o'clock he, accompanied by another of the mayor's sergeants, named Chapman, went off in search of the would - be bell i gerents, and first introduced him self to Mr. Carter. who was busily engaged in making arrangements for a departure by the seven o'clock train for London, preparatory to a journey to Calais, where matters were to be settled " ho nourably after the manner of gentlemen." Derges, with becoming delicacy, imparted the nature of his business, on which Mr. Carter pointed to a case of duelling pistols on the table, and ironically ob served, "There are the little fellows that were to do the business." Derges gathered confidence and Laconically remarked, " You surely wouldn't kill a man, sir ?" " Wouldn't I ?'' replied he, " I'd do for him," Perges having bagged his game, delivered him into the custody of Chapman, and sought Mr. Saunders, who is a surgeon in the Bengal Civil Ser vice, and in due course apprehended him. It seemed that Mr. Carter and his professional anta gonist had a dispute upon some matters which it would ill become us to place before the public, and the result was that the former sent a challenge to the military hero of the lancet, which was duly acknowledged and accepted in writing. The note conveying the acceptance of the challenge got into the hands of Mrs. Carter, and she at once com municatel with the authorities. Both being in custody, the officers proceeded to the council house with them, and each of them was bound over, him self in £5OO, and two sureties in £lOO each. -•.\- - I,i - , -- . - mu ) ,2: .1" t --4- ,4 trzglia g... , - ..'',i -.,/,, --- fingit%y • )arts r ,rS
