AT a Special '.leeting of the Committee and Friends of the BRITISH and FOREIGN ANTI-SLAVERY SOCIETY, hell at 27, New jiroad•street, on Wednesday, the 31st day of May, 1848. George William Alexander, Esq., Treasurer, in the Chair, the folowing resolution was unanimous:y adopted : Resolved,-1 hat this Committee have learned with deep regret the recent public declaration of Lord John Russell, that the Government did not intend to propose any alteration of the Sugar Act of 1846, either to increase, or to continue :or a longer period than that now fixed, the differential duties between British and Foreign Sugars, in asmuch as the effect of that Act has been greatly to stimulate the Foreign African Slave Tra e, and to give extension to the system of slavery. That having always, upon principle, strenuously objected to the S agar Act of 1546, In so far as the introductio.i of s.ave-grown sugars into the British markets was concerned; and looting not only on the dreadful evils it has Already inflicted on multitudes of suffering slaves, but the still greater evils it will inflict, if it remain unrepealed, this Committee deem it once more to be their duty so lemnly to protest against a measure so criminal in the application of its principle, and so baneful in its operation, and pledges itself to use every means in its power to procure its repeal, and to substitute for it a measure which shell wholly exclude slave-grown sugars from the British markets, and allow of the introduction of foreign free-grown sugars only on equal duties with those from the British plantations and possessions abroad.

Never since the memorable ensconcement 0: CHARLES 11. in the oak•tree has the twenty-ninth of Allay witnessed royalty in such an extraordinary and forlorn position as it is at present. The circum stances of the various European Sovereigns are, it is true, extremely diversiEd, nevertheless they all resemble each other in one particular ; the circum stances of all, or of the majority at least, are most embarrassin g and hazardous. The two sovereignties which alone at the present moment appear tranquil and secure are • two which are dissimilar in every other respect, namely, those reigning at London and St. Petersburgh. The one is secure in the enduring power of right, and is strengthened and supported by an unanimous people ; the other is secure only in the temporary strem,th of might, and is only upheld by . the despotic will of one and the servile fear of many. In the one instance the nation is tranquil and the Crown secure, because the battle of popular liberty has been al ready won, and the rights of the people consolidated, In the other there is a calm, but it is the calm which precedes the storm. Excepting, however, in these two instances, the crowns are indeed " uneasy " on the royal heads of Europe. Embarrassing and I hazardous as is the position of the majority, that of the Emperor of AUSTRIA is, perhaps, the most pecu liar and extraordinary. He has endeavoured to recon cile irreconcileable elements. He has endeavoured, as we have already said, to wield the sword of the usurper and the sceptre of the constitutional sovereign. He has, through the instrumentality of RADETSAY, de luged Italy with torrents of blood, and perpetrated, on the plains of Lombardy, horrors and outrages that would have disgraced the darker ages. He has done this in pursuance of his iniquitous reso lution of retaining possession of his Italian usurpations. He has done this, and at one and the same time he has affixed his signature to a constitution for his hereditary subjects—a consti tution more liberal than even the famous declaration of ROBESPIERRE — a constitution as liberal as that which the English people have obtained after years of unprecedented exertion. This liberal constitution FERDINAND has bestowed on the Viennese, even while pursuing his arbitrary policy towards the Venetians. The conduct of the KAISER, from these circumstances, appeared a while ago incomprehensible. But the solution of the mystery is now revealed —it is revealed by the imperial flight from Vienna, and the self imposed exile at Inspruck. The key to the conduct of the Emperor of AUSTRIA is cowardice. That cowardice which tyrannises over the weak and cringes to the strong, and shrinks back in alarm at its own movements. FERDINAND be lieved the Italians to be weak and powerless, hence his ruthless conduct with regard to them. He knew the Austrians to be strong, hence he conceded to them a constitution. But cowardice has not suffi cient courage for concessions. The ESIPEROR will concede no further. He is afraid to give, and afraid to refuse—hence his temporary residence at In spruck. Most assuredly, if the European Sovereigns were called upon to personify the Passions in Collins' Ode, the part of Fear would be unhesitatingly awarded to FERDINAND. He came forward with apparent eagerness to play his part on the Repub lican lyre, but no sooner had he touched the strings than he " Back 'recoiled, he knew not why, Scared by the iound himself had made." The people of Vienna have issued an address, to the EMPEROR earnestly beseeching him to return to the capital, and the members of the Constituent As-' sembly have signed a petition to the same effect. In answer to these exhortations, the EMPEROR has pub lished a very pretentious " manifesto to my people"— a manifesto as truly regal in spirit and form as though it had been penned from the dictation of Merrell,- Mal. In this manifesto the EMPEROR has the gra tuitous kindness to declare that he will neither curtail nor retract his gifts to the people in March, which declaration may be almost considered as the indication of a contrary desire. It is, however, a declaration somewhat tantamount to his expressing a wish to preserve his crown, which most certainly would not long adorn his brow if the constitution of Vienna were abrogated. The ENIPEROR further declares his willingness to listen to the " reasonable" wishes of his people if they come to his notice in a legal way, but he will grant nothing to unauthorised and armed individuals. It was, he adds, in order to impress this fact upon his " painfully excited people" that he withdrew from Vienna. He withdrew also, says the magnanimous but incomprehensible entence which concludes the manifesto, " to remind them of the paternal love with which he is ever ready to receive his sons, even though they be prodigal ones." How the Austrian insur • gents may have enacted the part of prodigal sons, and how the EMPEROR'S flight can indicate his readiness to receive them, we must confess we are totally unable to understand. One thing is, however, sufficiently clear. FERDINAND regards his recent concessions as acts of amazing generosity on his part. The constitution was a free gift of his bounty. But in this supposition he is considerably mistaken. A concession of popular rights such as that which the Austrians have recently obtained, however rm3lb it may reflect honour on the Sovereign who voluntAly assisted in•,its promulgation, cannot be regarded purely as a gratuitous gift on the part of the Sovereign. We talk of restoring people to liberty, not of giving them liberty, for we cannot give them what is theii own. And FERDINAND, by conceding the rights and liberties of the Austrians, did not confer a boon upon them, but only restored to them what was their own. Still that act of restoration covered him with glory—we were almost inclined to forget, or to endeavour to forget, his Italian policy on perusing the articles of the con• stitution, and remarking at their conclusion the signa ture of FERDINAND of Lorraine. Our admiration for his conduct in that particular is, however, consider ably dimiaished by his recent acts ; for by them we are induced to think that, as we have already said, itswas cowardice, and not liberality, which prompted the liberal measure of the EMPEROR. It is to be hoped that the seclusion of Inspruck will awaken him to a sense of the peculiar duties of his position. This is a matter which concerns himself more than it does the Austrians ; for, according as he advances or retro- , grades in the cause of liberalism, it depends whether he shall continue Emperor of AUSTRIA, or follow METTERNICH into perpetual exile. To him, therefore, his future conduct will be of momentous import. To the Austrians it will be comparatively immaterial ; their rights will inelitably be secured, and their liberties established, for when the impulse of liberal ism is once given to an entire nation, it cannot be put down by force of arms, nor arrested by the manifesto of King or Emperor. We have never been amongst the advocates of the extensive and indiscriminating system of emigration so urgently demanded by a portion of the landed proprietors. of Ireland. Those gentlemen, in sub mitting their schemes for the expatriation of millions of their countrymen, appeared to be actuated but by one feeling, viz., an anxiety to clear their respective estates from the hordes of wretched occupants, at the smallest possible outlay to themselves, without the slightest consideration for the future welfare of the miserable outcasts, or of the country to which they might be driven for the shelter and support denied to them in their native land. They would fain cast upon the national Exchequer the greater part of the necessary expenditure, and, as they might be called on to contribute some portion thereof from their private resources in return for the peculiar and personal ad vantages thereby afforded, they prefer the shortest and least expensive voyage, and thus " the United States," or the British dominions in North America, are recommended as the localities to which the flood of emigration should chiefly be directed. In this respect they are influenced by the cheap rate at which the voyage across the Atlantic can be made; but they do not consider that already well-founded complaints have bop put forward by our colonists on account of the multitudes landed on their shores in dis ease and destitution, who, in place of having been found valuable and efficient auxiliaries, only brought pesti lence and famine to the thresholds they had invaded. In fact, the labour market was and is overstocked, em ployment could not easily be obtained, and unless the emigrants brought with them the means of sup port for a considerable period, the scene of distress was only changed, and the unhappy victims endured sufferings at the other side of the Atlantic similar to those by which they had been afflicted previous to their departure from their native land. The autho rities of the United States have already adopted the most stringent regulations by which the debarkation of the class which it would be the interest of this country to send abroad, is practically prohibited; while, as we have already stated, indignant remon strances have been addressed from the Canadas at the cruelty and. injustice of which we have been guilty. If, therefore, (migration is to be at all en couraged by the Legislature, it must be to other lands to which these grave objections do not apply, and where the arrival and settlement of the emigrant will be alike beneficial to himself, to the former in habitants, and to the mother country. These points should all be maturely considered ; if they can be united, then a moderate amount of emigration may be sanctioned, as auxiliary to, but not as a substitute for, the full development of all our internal resources, more particularly of those to be derived from the re clamation of our waste lands. Our Australian colonies undoubtedly possess pe culiar advantages in all these respects. The first cost of sending out emigrants will undoubtedly be greater HE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 1, 11348. in consequence of the distance, but the expense will cease the very moment of their arrival. Immediate employment can be obtained at ample wages, in ad dition to rations on a scale of abundance to which our labourers are unfortunately utter strangers. Food that is now actually wasted from want of consumers may be converted to useful purposes. It is said that in 1847 no less than 64,000,0001bs of meat were lost in New South Wales, while myriads were starving at home ; and with all this superabundance of provisions and every other comfort that could be desired, there is a sad deficiency of the labourers who could so easily be provided for. It is asserted that corn is shed for want of reapers, and wool either lost or greatly dete riorated :in value for want of shearers, and petitions from every part of the colony have called for a sup ply of that labour which is so urgently required, and which can be so handsomely remunerated. It should also be borne in mind that on sending parties to New South Wales, we are creating extensive consumers o f our home manufactures. Australia imports film this country to the value of from 71. to 101. for every inhabitant, while Canada averages but 11. 155., and the United States but ss. 81. per head. The great market that would be created for the productions of our native industry by Australian emigration should not be forgotten in the calculation of its comparative advantages. While Mr. BOYD and others have fairly placed those advantages before the public, the most efficient auxiliary has entered the field to point out the manner in which the transit may be effected. Lieutenant WAG lionN, R.N., the enterprising and intelligent originator of the overland route to India, has vublished a pamphlet appropriately dedicated to Earl GREY, in which that nobleman's attention is directed to the proposition which comes so peculiarly within the sphere of his duties as Colonial Secretary. The Dame of WAGIIORN is sufficient to secure any suggestion emanating from such a quarter for respect and consideration. He is pre-eminently entitled to the national gratitude for what he has already effected in so materially reducing the time within which we can communicate with our Indian dominions. His discovery saved the country very considerable expenditure during the recent wars in Sinde and the Punjaub. Although unrewarded for his extraordinary services, he still applies his vigorous intellect to new projects for the benefit of his native land. We shall not now attempt to set forth the nature of his suggestions. The paper is but a short one, and we trust- that every person interested in the question will make himself fully acquainted with its contents. not excluded.fromtre Ateliers Nationaux, in virtue of the first two measure;, will be deposited and communi cated to the masters. You will have to name two or three employes of your Administration, who will remain permanently in the office to place before the masters the lists of workmen ttey may demand.

You will understand that this measure is one of ex treme urgency, aid that not a single moment must be lost in executing :t. I attach great importance to the clause which re-establishes piece -work as the basis of wages—you stiouil immediately carry it into practice. I will hereafter send you instruction:, on the organiza tion of the brigades of workmen, which ought to be sent to the department;." The Presse says the petition from the Ateliers Na tionaux to the National A.ssemhly was signed by no more than 8,00) or 10,000, out of 110,000 or 115,000. The Courrier de Lyon of Sunday says The men employed in the national workshops of Miribel have, after the example or the Voraces of Lyons, placed in confinement three magistrates, the Procureur of the Republic, the Juge d'lnstruction, and the Regis trar of Ts eroux. The cause of this act was that these gentlewen tad proceeded to Miribel, on a warrant issued from tile courts of law of Lyons, to search for arms. About 500 men assembled, and, preventing the officers from acting, seized on them and locked them up in the guard-house. When this became known at Lyons the Advocate-General set out with a body of troops to deliver them. Nothing more was known when the post loft. SPAIN. Madrid papers of the 26th have arrived. Colonel BRISTOW, after suffering thirty-six hours' close imprisonment, was sent off on the 25th, in charge of the police., We believe that the British subjects in Spain have to thank the mis cniev,us meddling of Lord STANLEY and the stolid, stupid faith of Lord ABERDEEN in the infallibility of M. C.; UIZOT for their present unpleasant position. We trust, however, that Lord PALMERSTON will not suffer an hour to elapse without demanding reparation from the Spanish Government. In such a case, a British Admiral would be the best negotiator, and the explanations and reparations should be made on the quarter-deck of a British line cf-battle ship.

The sub-committee appointed to examine the projet de Zoi presented by the Government for the re-pur chase of the railways by the state, has resolved unanimously that it will report to the Assembly in favour of the rejection of the Government propo sitions. The Committee on the expenses of the Assembly resolved that the salary of 80,000 francs a year, hitherto given to the President, should be abolished, and that the President should henceforth be allowed only 4,000 francs per month. The Questors, who had 10,000 francs a year, are to have 500 francs a month. BOURSE—PARIS, WEDNESDAY, May 31 . THREE o'CLoot.—The fail in the French Renter, which commenced on Monday and continued yester day, made notable progress to-day. Throughout the day the offers to silt were incessant, but 1:0 purchasers Were to be found. This fall is attributed partly to the bud state of the Bank, partly to the general uneasi ness, and in a considerable degree to the realization of profits by those who were speculating for the rise. The depression in the Bank of France is very consider able. The Bens du-Tresor are at 29 discount, which is a considerable improvement on yesterday. Vielle Mon tagnes have fallen to 1,980%, having been at one period of the day at 1,950 f. The response de primes was de clared in the Three per Cents. at 48f., and in the Five per Cents. at 69f. In both they were lifted. After the de claration the Relates again tell. Railway shares kept their ground better than the Renter.

After listening to the explanations, of M. el ULES BASTIDE, the Foreign Miniater, on the subject of the affairs of Naples, to which city a'special agent had been.dispatched to represent the Republic, The PRESIDENT rose and addressed the Assembly as l ft h )l a lo v v : s a : . roost --- important .h;: callvot erieit noznnlaeatnithei communication oitdno tf,rmt attention.) t m er,tr h i hot e iec r oe s nlea. t d), o v o nol ti gti s iai e ciit r tii,: v r:e e ,it tot. the le .ptirsietersiecunt(,tt i s,pttou Assembly,bsilence. mfr—(Movement One of the members of this high Assembly—M.

Fortalis, Procierrur-General at the Court of Appeal at Paris, and by M. Laudrin, Procu reur-Generisl at the Court of Premiere Instance of the Seine, and bears date " Palais de Justice, May 31, 1848." It declares that from the facts which have come to light from the testimony of various witnesses, and from the declaration of M. Louis Blanc himself when examined in that capacity, it would appear that he took an active part in the invasion of the Assembly on May 15, by the crowd. By his own avowal, he spoke twice to the people, once from a window outside when with Barbei and Albert, and again in the Salle des Pas Psrdus. In par ticular he made use of these words, "I congratulate you on having to-clay established your right of petition; now it can never be taken from you. Without his proceeding further, the requisitory of the law officers says, there was strong presumption that M. Louis Blanc had voluntarily taken part. in the invasion and oppression of the National Assembly, which constituted the crime of attentat pro vided for in Art. 87 of the penal code.

" Inspruck, 22d May, 1848." The late Viceroy of Lombardy and the Archduke JOHN have joined, the EMPEROR at Inspruck. It is said that the Court is inclined to side with the Bohemian party, and to favour the recognition of Slavonian nationality in that kingdom, in which case the whole of Germany would declare against the EMPEROR, and his Court. GREECE. We have received Greek journals to the 19th. The insurrection under PERROLIS still continues ; all the efforts of the Government to put him down have proved useless, and he was, according to the last accounts, advancing towards Phylia. The Greek Government, in order to defray the expenses of the civil war, has taken► as a loan 60,000 drachmas out of the funds, arising from legacies left by various per sons for the education of the youth of Greece, and deposited at the bank. The health of M. Mnssnaus is said to be improved. The balls had been safely extracted from his arm. The garrison of Athens had been so reduced by the sending off of troops to the eastern part of the kingdom, that the internal ser vice of the city was performed by the Urban Guard. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday, Paris continued perfectly tranquil, and the deci sions of the Assembly on the previous day, both as regarded the measure for breaking up the Ateliers Nationaux, and that for providing for the defence of the Assembly itself, appear to have given great satis faction. The amendment proposed to the Ministerial project for the defence of the Assembly by M. Du rAuac, which enables the President in every case of emergency to issue his orders to the military force for the protection of the Assembly, leaving it at the same time to the President himself to judge of what should or what should not be considered a case of emergency, was passed unanimously. The adoption of this measure will, we should hope, effectually pre vent a recurrence of the mistakes of the 15th of May. M. Louis BLANC has refused to serve on the Committee on the labour question, on the ground that as it is a question which he perfectly understands he needs no further instruction on the subject, while there are other Political questions which he does not so thoroughly understand, but to the study of which in other Committees he wishes to devote his time. From this it would appear as if M. LOUIS BLANC considered the National Assembly rather as a school for the instruction of sucking politicians than as the legislature of a great nation, composed of men quali theirFof e r l o E w , - theco u c n o t o r k y , m w e h n o have entrust e d n t g h a e g m e d . fied for the p er f ormance of the mission with wh i ch in the conspiracy of the 15th o f M ay, h as been arrested at a house in the Rue St. Honore, and conveyed to Vin cennes. The Executive Commission of the Government has presented to the Assembly a report on the affairs of the 15th of May. It is a mere dry narrative of the occurrences of the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th of May, and throws no light whatever on the authors of the attempt of the 16th of May, or on their mo tives. The instructions of the Minister of Public Works respecting the workmen in the Ateliers Nationaux, which M. EMILB TnomAs refused, it is said, to obey, were as follows : "Sir,—l have the honour to announce to you that the Commission of Executive Government has just adopted the following measures with regard to the Ateliers Nationaux:-1. The unmarried workmen, aged from 18 to 25, shall be invited to enrol themselves under the flag of the Republic, to complete the different corps of the army. Those who may refuse to subscribe voluntary engagements shall be immediately struck out of the lista d'embrigadement of the Ateliers Na tionaux. 2. The number of workmen of Paris shall be ascertained without delay. This measure shall be carried out conjointly by the mairies, and by the employe; of the central bureau of the Ateliers Nationaux, de legated ' fur that purpose. The workmen who can nut regularly prove that they have resided in Paris six months before the 24th of May shall be dismissed, and shall cease to receive wages and assistance. 3. The lists of workmen drawn up by arrondissements and by profession shall be deposited in a special office, established as nearly as possible in the centre of Paris, and shall be communicated to masters by the employeis of the administration ; the masters may require such a number of these workinen as they may deem necessary to the resumption or continuation of their labours ; those who may refine to follow them shall be instantly struck out of the general list of the Ateliers Nationaux. 4. The workmen who may not be comprised in the cases of exclusion proiided for by the preceding articles, and who temporarily may continue to form part of the Ateliers Nationaux, shall be obliged to work by the piece and not by the day. 5. There shall be organized, with the least possible delay, brigades of workmen, which shall be sent to the departments to be employed, under the direction of the engineers des Ponta des Chaussees, in the execution of great public works. I invite you, Sir, to occupy yourseh, as soon as possible, in the applica tion of the measures settled by the Commission of Exe cutive Government. You will cause to be prepared the necessary lists to distinguish the workmen who, on ac count of their age, must enrol themselves in the armies of the Republic ; those whom 'there may be reason to send to their respective departments, in default of their being able to prove a regular residence of six months; those who may be demanded and taken into work by the masters; and, finally, those who can bo in corporated into brigades of workmen destined for the o p f la P co ari i s t; i g rm,e will I m e oatkkes known n t h m e t provinces t - tilt rr b o a: v i lle t e h e e which the lists of workmen of different professions PRUSSIA. On the night of the 27th there were a series of charivaris given in Berlin to the supporters of the Prince of PRUSSIA. The patrols of the Burgher Guard, however, soon succeeded in restoring tran quillity. About two A.M., however, the drums and bugles called to arms, and the whole city, especially in the quarters contiguous to the Linden, was roused. The Burgher Guard hastened to their places of rendez vous ; the windows were crammed with anxious lookers-on, and the doors filled with no less anxious inquirers. At length, after waiting an hour for orders, notice was sent to the different battalions and companies, stating that " the general march" had been beaten, in consequence of a false order, bearing General Ascnorr's signature, brought to the staff officer upon duty, to desire the drums and bugles to sound the alarm. In a word, the whole affair was a hoax practised on the Burgher Guard and citizens, who one and all gladly retired again to rest. A strict investigation will be instituted, and t he author of this. unpardonable practical joke will, if discovered, be punished. SCHLESWIG-I - lOLSTEIN. The Allow Mercury Contains a letter from Cheva lier BUNSEN to the elective directors of the Schleswig district, No. 4, in which he. thanks them for the honour which they have conferred upon him by electing •him a representative fur that district, and urging that, from the present state of the nego tiations on the Schleswig-Holstein question, it will be impossible for him to repair immediately to Frankfort. SCULESWIG-HOLSTEIN, MAY 27.—We have just ascertained from unquestionable authority that, on the 24th of the month, the son of General WRANGEL arrived at 13erlin to present an .armistice which General WRANGEL has concluded with the command ing officer of the Danish troops. The basis of the armistice is said to be, the German troops are to retire beyond the Schlei, the Danes promise to quit North Schleswig, and to restore the ships under embargo. It is generally believed that this armistice will be ratified. The son of General WRANGEL re turned from Berlin yesterday afternoon, and im mediately proceeded by the Kiel Railway to the Prussian head-quarters, being the bearer, as he him self asserted, of amicable dispatches. —ffaniburgh Borsonhalle, May 27. BRUSSELS. MAY 30.—His Royal Highness the Prince of PRUSSIA arrived here about one o'clock by a special train from Ostend. Two of the royal carriages were in waiting to receive the Prince, who alighted at the hotel of the Prussian Ambassador, where a guard of honour has been placed. General CRUYKIZIBOURG, aide-de-camp of his MAJESTY, is in attendance upon the Prince. In the evening there was a grand dinner at the Palitee in honour of the Prince, who wore the simple dress of a citizen. Many distinguished persons were invited to meet his Royal Highness, who intends to quit Belgium for Holland, and will embark for Am sterdam to-morrow. Elitdependance announces the recal from Paris of the Prince DE LIGNE, and his replacement by a Minister Plenipotentiary. Under the reign of Louis PHILIPPE, France was represented at Brussels by an Ambassador ; that office is now delegated to a Minis ter Plenipotentiary and Envoy Extraordinary. SWEDEN. The official journal of Stockholm of the 18th pub lishes the following important declaration made by the Swedish Government on the 9th to Prussia, with respect to the Schleswig and Holstein question " The events which have just taken place in Denmark, s and the entrance of the troops of his Majesty the King of Prussia, and of different other states of the Germanic Con federation into the Duchy of Schleswig have not failed • to awaken the attention and solicitude of H. M. the. King of Sweden and Norway. Considering the impre ,_ .scrinible_right _which . the united kingdoms have to participate in the resolutions which may be taken with respect to the affairs of the North, and, considering the dangers which may arise for the political Equilibrium guaranteed by treaties, in consequence of the attack now directed against Denmark, ' the King thinks right to make known to the Royal Government of Prussia his opinion on the present state of things, and to declare to it openly and frankly the manner of acting which his Majesty, after the de ! sire manifested by his Majesty the King of Denmark, intends to adopt, and which, in the political complica tions of the moment, he considers founded on right. It does not belong to the King to decide the dispute relative to the Duchy of Schleswig. The possession of that country was guaranteed to Denmark by other powers, which have already offered their mediation to remove the differences which unfortunately have arisen,. and it is only in concert with those powers that his Majesty will decide on this question. But in case the dispute should not be confined to the Duchy of Schleswig, if an irruption of troops of the Germanic Confederation in other provinces of Denmark be to be feared, the King could not tee with indifference such an attack on the independence of a neighbouring ally, and his Majesty would consider the perils which._ may result from it to the safety and independence of his own states a sufficient motive for sending a corps crarrsee to Fionia, or any other island belonging to the Danish monarchy, with the order to join the forces of his Danish Majesty, and to act in common with them, with the perfectly defensive object of opposing any dis embarkation of German troops. For this purpose the King is causing a squadron to leave Carle crone., and his Miejesty is causing troops to be assem bled on the frontiers. Circumstances alone will deter mine the instructions to be given to these troops, and to what extent they will be embarked for the states of his Majesty the King of Denmark. These measures, dictated by solicitude for the independence of the united kingdoms, and the justice of which cannot be denied, have no offensive character, and the Royal Government of Prussia may convince itself that • they have only been adopted after events had taken a development which no longer permitted the united king doms to remain quiet spectators of the deplorable strug gle, which approached nearer and nearer their own fron tiers, and influenced their most important relations. The King sincerely desires that the dispute which has arisen between Denmark and Germany may be ter minated by an amicable compromise, and his Majesty has . not lost the hope of seeing the good understanding which is indispensably necessary to the reciprocal interests of the two countries re-established between them. The King will always be ready to co-operate in bringing about a pacific reconciliation founded on equitable bases. To attain this object., it would be necessary that hostili ties should cease on one part and the other, and that ne gotiations should be opened, under the mediation of the powers, which by their demotion ear their political relations might have the desire and the right to intervene to prepare the re-establishment of a reciprocal good understanding. The King, in pausing the present declaration to be sent to the Government of his Majesty the King of Prussia, believes he may express the hope that it'rerill, through j the kind intervention of that Government, be communi cated to the other powers members of the Germanic Confederation. ITALY. NAPLES. Letters have been received from Naples to the 20th of May. The city was in .a completely disorga nized state, and continued in possession of the mili tary and the mob, who were encouraged to plunder the houses of the respectable citizens by the KING and the aristocracy. More than 1,500 persons, who had been massacred by the Swiss and the lazzarcni, have been buried in the Campo Santo. Capua is in revolt. Calabria has declared a Provisional Govern ment, and all the inhabitants of the provinces have refused to pay taxes. The French fleet is still at Naples. LOMBAItDY, PIEDMONT, AND VENICE.
