Corporations are said to have no souls. The hypothesis is certainly favoured by the well-ascer tained fact that Government, which, under our aristocratic regime, is a corporation trading in place and power, has no conscience—at all events in its dealings with commercial matters. We do not mean to adduce this or that blunder, or graver error in proof of the latter assertion ; that were unphilosophical. The proof is here ; commit what blunder or error Government may, it manifests a sublime incapacity of repentance in the cool in difference with which it disregards expostulation, and persists, as far as it dare, in its misdoing. A case in point is adduced by a respected cor respondent- in mr present impression. It relates to our postal intercourse with Australia. The reader will remember that shortly after the com mencement of the war the imperfect postal system in operation was rudely and un hesitatingly put a stop to, on the plea that the vessels of the contractors were required for the transport service. Untenable as the plea was, the act of itself might pass for a blunder. Time, however, wore on, and no symptom of restoration was forthcoming. It was bad enough to interrupt the regular postal com munication with colonies whose exports amount to some seventeen or eighteen, and whose imports to some nineteen, millions annually, for however brief a period. But it grew beyond a joke when upwards of a year el.ipsed and there was still no regular postal cornmunicatjon. The colonies mur mured—the Anatrali tn merOiaiits at home mur mured—the colonis's held meetings, and, by way of temptation to Government to do its duty by them, offered to c,:ntribute largely towards the expenditure. Cloven:mien; went on " not doing it," until the scanaal became so menacing that it was voted nern. con. " soinethingmust be done." That something resolved on, as a matter of course, fall far short of what was required, supposing it to be duly carried out. What pains Government has taken to as:, , nre its boing so, and what pros pect there is of such a result, will appear from the letter to which we have referred. Mr. SPLATT calk attention to tho fact that though the service to be rendered is contracted for at the very large amount of 185,0001. per annum for a term of five years, Government refuses to test the speed of the vessels prior t o their leaving this" country, and professes itself content to rely on the penalty of 501. a-day for the due execution of the contract ! What can be anticipated but failure? HOT can such a procedure be regarded but with iadiguation ? The interests at stake enormous, the remuneration excessive, the route to be traversed ten thousand —nay, sixteen thousand miles, the time limited, the speed of the packets unknown, the means of asc , :.rtainiug that; speed at baud, no objections on the part of the owners, if acting in good faith, to be anticipated, ally objection on their part a fair ground of suspicion, and Government refuses to apply so simpl e a test! It is satisfied, forsooth, with the penalty. It is content to rely on that, as if one lived in the golden age, and all was primeval innocency. As if such a thin , ' had never been heard of as individuals deliberately incurring prescribed penalties because it was more profitable to them to d o so than honestly to fulfil their engage ment. As if the penalty of 501. a-day could be anything to a nation that expended a hundred millions in the late war—threw them away, in fact, never asking the CZAR for repayment, because the Coburgs did not want to press a foreign friend. As if the exaction of the penalties by Government could meet the justice of the case ? The plea is insult iagly absurd ! Imagine an umpire holding him self justified in pocketing the stakes because the challenger struck below the belt, or otherwise violated the regulations of the ring ! Why, he would be hooted as a knave or a fool. The in jured party, it would be said, is the party en- titled to them. Government, that will suffer nothing, is content with the penalty ; but who or what will content commercial men here and at the antipodes for the losses they will infallibly sustain by tlll failure of the contract ? The injury inflicted on commerce by such failure, as compared with the amount of the penalty, is " all the world to a China orange !" The conduct of Government is so outrageous, that we feel warranted in inquiring—ls there a Scotch electioneering job at the bottom of the contract ? Rumour attributes to Mr. JAMES WILSON the intention to vacate the representation of Westbury, and try his fortune at Glasgow on the dissolution of Parliament. The reader may draw what conclusions he pleases from the fact, if I it be a fact. All we have got to say is, Mr. WILSON is secretary to the Treasury under Lord PALMER STON, the contractors, in whom Government repose such implicit confidence, belong to Glasgow, and the Peninsular and Oriental Company, whose tender was rejected on thefrivolous plea that their vessels were engaged in the Government transport service, from which a stroke of the pen could have re leased them, don't. This much may be taken for granted—Mr. JAMES WILSON has a great deal to answer for in this left-banded contract, and stands a fair chance of being brought to book at the opening of Par liament, and taught a lesson he will be slower than usual to forget. In the meantime, i t may be an act of charity to remind him that the Aus tralian colonies need more than one route, and that by the Honduras Interoceanic Railway pas sages can bo made, at the present rate of speed, in forty-five days. The abortive insurrection at Neufchatel, which could only be classed with the affair in the Bailin prry Cabbage Garden, or the ridiculous invasions of Strasburg and Boulogne, appears to have had more serious foundation than at first was deemed possible. There is but too much reason to be lieve that it was fomented and encouraged by the " Angel of Peace," in order to obtain an excuse for interfering and crushing the liberties of the canton ; nay, more, it is stated, and, we re gret to add, with some appearance of truth, that the good CLICQUOT did not stand alone, but that he had previously received an Imperial ap proval of the project, if not the promise of Imperial co-operation. The scheme was deeply laid, but, fortunately, it broke down, owing to the promptitude and resolution of the patriotic Republicans. Could the insurgents have main tained their position even for 48 hours Prussian troops would have marched to their aid, and it is more than hinted that the Prussian Envoy at Berne would have declared that any assistance rendered by the federal troops would be regarded as a cams belli. As this insolent communication would necessarily have been treated with the contempt it merited, hostilities would follow that might have overthrown one of the few Constitu tional Governments in Europe. It would have been difficult for Switzerland to maintain its position when placed between two such fires as those of France and Prussia. From its peculiar position England could not have rendered much aid to the aggrieved parties, and the conspirators probably considered that it would not have quarrelled with Prussia, while the matrimonial alliance of the heir presumptive to its Throne with our own PRINCESS ROYAL was on the tapis. On this point there might be some slight mistake. The contemplated match is not so very popular in this country as to induce either the Parliament or People to yield a single point in order to promote it. On the other hand, it would be more likely to lead to the complete abolition of the inauspicious connection that may end in the government of the United Kingdom being carried on under a Prussian Viceroy, and an unholy alliance of banded despots to enforce submission to the hated yoke. That Prussia was concerned in the attempt seems certain. It will be in the recollection of our readers that the subject was ventilated by Baron MANTEUBFEL at the Parisian Conferences. But the position occupied by Prussia on that occasion was not such as to allow any great weight to be attached to his requisitions. It is more than probable that he received a hint not to press the matter too urgently, and the assurance that he could better succeed by means of a private ar rangement. It would not do to add to the excite ment occasioned by the lame and impotent conclusion of the war, the ferocious onslaught on the liberty of the Press in Belgium, and the wanton and un called-for surrender of the rights and privileges that consolidated the maritime power of Great Britain, the palpable conspiracy against the freedom of a small but independent State for the aggrandisement of the Royal faineant of Berlin. The introduction of the topic was peculiarly in convenient at the time. It was therefore sum marily shelved. But, the seed thus sown pro duced its (happily withered) fruit in the hoisting of the Royalist fin, and the temporary seizure of the town and citadel. The prompt suppression of the emeute has, however, shown the absurdity of the pretext that any considerable portion of the citizens were tainted by Royalist principles. The insurgents succeeded but for a moment. They gained pos session by surprise ; but they were speedily ejected, with considerable loss, and the chief ring leaders killed or made prisoners. There was, in fact, no response, even of the most trivial cha racter to the insurgent manifesto. The bombastic appeal on behalf of CLICQUOT was universally ridi culed, but a sterner feeling was entertained I against those who disturbed the tranquillity of the Canton, and shed the blood of some of its peaceful citizens by their puny and futile effort. If such an outbreak had taken place in one of the States ruled by despotic authority, the halter, the axe, and the fusillade would be speedily re sorted to. But the Republicans can afford to be generous. They know that their cherished insti tutions cannot be endangered by such proceedings. They can be magnanimous and spare the guilty f ro m the extreme punishment. Any attempt, however, on the part of independent Govern ments to interfere with the domestic arrangements of other States should be regarded as an invasion calculated to disturb the peace of Europe; and meriting the censure, and, if persevered in, the castigation of every other nation. Europe must be preserved from the intrigues of Crowned Despots, who are not contented with the positions they already occupy, but are instigated to impro per acts either by ambition or cupidity. While affairs are in this state we should be careful of reducing either our naval or military force to too low an ebb. We cannot tell at what moment or from what quarter a quarrel may be forced on us. We place not our faith in Prince:', Kings, or Emperors, but depend on our own prowess to defend our rights and privileges, and to prevent wilful wrong from being inflicted on the weak and innocent in any quarter of the globe. THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL CONTRACT& TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —Among the many blessings which this highly favoured country possesses, that which is most highly prized by those who look deeper than the surface is its enlightened, free, and independent press, to whose powerful aid the aggrieved can at 4.11 times appeal ; and if abuses are not always re dressed, they are at least ably exposed, and aro thus deprived of half their malignity. Permit me, then, to call your attention to what is likely to prove a grievance of no ordinary kind —no less than the almost certain failure of the Australian mail contract, owing to the want of the necessary speed of the ships intended for the ser vice, for which the Government of this country have agreed to pay for five years the very large amount of 185,0001. a-year. One would naturally suppose, that when so large a sum is to be disbursed, that every possible pre caution would be taken to insure success ; but, in stead of pursuing this reasonable course, it is understood that the Government intend to rely on the penalties only, and have most unwisely re fused to test the speed of the vessels, prior to their leaving this country for their distant stations; and I do not hesitate to say that, if this refusal is per severed in, the Government will neglect the only real security the public possess for the due perform ance of the contract ; for, as to relying on penalties only, past experience is sufficient to convince all, except those who are wilfully blind, that penalties alone are not only insufficient, but are positively mischievous, inasmuch as they operate as a pre mium on a low rate of speed ; or, in other words, it pays better to forfeit a few days' penalties on each voyage, and maintain only a low rate of speed, than it does to incur the necessary expen sive outlay which alone can secure a high rate of speed. It i.-.: probable that the company who have secured this contract rely with confidence on other ships ; if so, they will not only offer but insist on testing their speed in the most public manner possible, and thus convince all interested that the vessels intended for the service are reasonably qualified for their work ; on the other hand, if the necessary tests should not be afforded, it will be the strongest possible confirmation of the apprehensions already entertained that the vessels will prove unequal to the speed required of them, and the Australian colonists, and also the people of this country, will look upon the contract as certain to fail. But, sir, what will the colonists, what will the public of this country, think of the conduct of the British Government in this matter, who, by timely and obvious precautions, might have secured the fulfilment of the contract in all its integrity ? I will answer for it, that the colonists will justly consider that their interests have been grossly ne glected, and that they will justly and properly re fuse to pay their moiety of the contract. It is, however, most lamentable to think that colonies so valuable as those of Australia are to the mother country, and exporting, as they do, an an nual value nearly equal to the entire exports of British India, should, in the year 1856, be abso lutely without the benefit of steam postal commu nication with this country, and, as far as can be seen, are likely to continue so for an indefinite period. Meanwhile, great and bitter will be the disappointment felt at this last failure, which has been looked forward to, and with reason, as likely to succeed, and succeed it must if the British Go vernment would insist that no ship should be de spatched for the service without previous proof of adequate speed.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, VILLIAM F.

Sig, —We feel it incumbent upon us, as two of the members of the first or City committee of depositors, appointed in the bank, and as the gentlemen introducing to the public meeting held at St. Martin's-hall last Friday the gaiggestion or proposition of paying the creditors of suctrrbank by dividends of ss. in the pound each, at stated periods, to at once apprise the depositors and customers generally that such proposition the directors now repudiate and decline to carry out, sheltering them selves under the quibble, that,-1. The proposition was only a suggestion. 2. The suggestion was made to them by the depositors; and 3. Although adopted by them, was only adopted provided every depositor agreed to it; and that now they do not see any reasonable hope beyond the Court of Chancery. Why these very careful, plain•dealing, straightforward, matter of fact, honest gentlemen should have so suddenly ceased to hope of a settlement without the intervention of the law is a mystery which will require the most rigid scrutiny and investigation, as it is a singular and grave fact that on the Friday, when this committee was sitting nearly the entire day with a view to a proposition, the anxiety and desire evinced by the directors was to pay all claims amicably and speedily ; while now, en the contrary, they tell us, with that graceful coolness which sets so easily if not becomingly upon them, we bad better induce our friends to come in and prove under the Winding.up Act. However, the consideration of this conduct we leave to their creditors at the next meeting. All we crave your indulgence for are the following facts : "1. It was suggested on Thursday last that six months' time should be given, provided they felt that would re l'eve them, and enable them to carry out their plans. A document to that effect was drawn up in the secretary's (Mr. Paddison's) room, and the directors considered and approved the same ; it being at the same time submitted to numerous shareholders in the bank, who entirely con• curred, and expressed their willingness to pay up upon their shares in furtherance of it, when called upon to do so. The depositors then at the doors were invited to step in, and it was submitted to them, but they declined enter ing upon it then, appointing a committee of five to act in concert with the directors and to watch the affairs of the bank. 2. The committee sat on Friday at the bank, and bay ing had notice that a large meeting had been convened for that evening at. St. Martin's-hall, were desirous to go to such meeting with something in their hands ; and in order t.o be enabled to do so, applied by letter to the di rectors and shareholders, then in meeting assembled in an adj )ining room, ur;ing upon them the advisability of making some tangible proposition, upon which Mr. Sheri dan was invited to attend the shareholders and directors ; a statement of assets and liabilities was then handed to him in confidence, and he was requested to attend on be. half of the shareholders and directors at the meeting to be held that night, and make the best terms he could. The committee, however, not being satisfied with this vague authority, requested Mr. Sheridan and Mr. Richardson to wait again upon the directors for something more defi nite, which they did, and were met by several of the directors ; who, after a lengthy discussion, agreed to their submitting to the meeting to be held that night the following terms, as a basis to work upon—viz., 51. in the pound in otne month, ss. in the pound in three months, ss. in the pound in six months, and 54. in the pound in nine months, and which were the grounds upon which the sug;estion was submitted to the meeting ; such be inz now entirely abandoned by the directors, and the prospect of the Court of Chancery held out in lieu thereof. —We have the honour to remain, sir, yours, &c., JOHN SHERIDAN, 4.

AUSTRALIA. Operations at the diggings had been impeded by the heavy rains, but the yield of gold had nevertheless turned out well. The sum total of the gold received at Mel bourne by escort from the beginning of the year to the 19th of June exceeded 900,000 ounces. The shipments of gold to England in the week ending June 9, exclusive of that per Royal Char ter, were 173,000 ounces. In the week ending June 14, the Kent had sailed with 82,000 ounces for London, and the Joseph Tarratt with 21,000 ounces for Liverpool. In the week ending June 19, 58,000 ounces were shipped, chiefly in the Sardinian, to sail for Liverpool on the 25th June. The balance of trade continued to be largely in favour of the colony. In the week ending June 19 the value of the exports was 305,0001.; im ports, 243,0001. Surplus of exports over imports for tie expired portion of the year about 2,000,0001. At Forest Creek, two tons of quarts had yielded 533 ounces of gold. The Shalimar had arrived on the 23d of June, damaged by a gale. The Atalanta, from Liver pool, had arrived in 79 days. The Joseph Baines had not arrived. Agriculture and domestic manufacturers were largely extending. NEW ZEALAND.

The Royal mail ship Sardinian, Capt. Sheridan, belonging to the White Star line of Australian packets, arrived off Kinsale this morning in 75 days from Melbourne, having left on the 27th of June last, and landed her mails. She has on board 130 passengers, and 64,000 oz. of gold, valued at 256,0001. Her mails will most likely reach here to-morrow, and she is likely to arrive to-morrow evening. The Royal mail ship Joseph Tarratt, of the Black Ball line, with the Australian mails of the 10th of June, and which sailed in company with the Kent, from Melbourne, has not yet made her appeal auce. Two new gold fields aro announced. One is is New South Wales, near Wellington. Large quantities of gold hal already been extracted. The other gold field is near Nelson, in New Zealand. The James Baines, from Liverpool, arrived on the 24th. The Ocean Monarch had been released from quarantine. No new cases of cholera bad occurred. The quantity of gold brought down the pre vious week by escort was 54 , 464 oz. ; the quan tity receiv e d for the year ending June 21st was 1 ,329,874 oz. The amount shipped was 1 ,516,464 oz.

The Emperor and Einpress (says the Messagcr de Bayonne) attended mass in the new chapel on Sunday. In the afternoon his Majesty, accom panied by M. Laity, drove into atyonne in a light Americaine. The Emperor alighted at the entrance of the AilSes-Marines, and walked as far as the bar, which ho examined with minute interest, and directed particular attention to that part where the new quays are about to be commenced. The Emperor walked for a distance of upwards of three miles on the sands and on the narrow extremity of the jetties, and then got into one of the boats of the Newton, which was in waiting near the Laza retto, and returned by water to the place where the carriage bad been left. In the evening, after the dinner, there was a reception, and dancing was kept up until one o'clock in the morning. Their Majesties gaily led off in a boulangere and a caril lon de Dunkerque. The Moniteur contains two long reports ad dressed to the Emperor by Count Walewski, the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The first relates to the leaves of absence granted to the heads of di plomatic missions, and regulates the terms and conditions on which they are given. The second report relates to the re-organisation of the person nel of the different embassies abroad. The reports are followed by decrees carrying out the recom mendations contained in them. The Isly, steam-screw frigate, and the Primau guet, steam-corvette, are under orders to proeeed to Cronstadt to await the arrival there of Count de Morny on his return to France.

(From Correspondent of the Times, Second Edition.) In the present inflammable state of Italy, when the slightest spark, if allowed to settle, becomes dangerous, not only for Italy itself, but for the peace of Europe, it is frightful to see the reckless manner in which some people treat the most com bustible materials. M. Landucci, the Minister of the Interior in Turkey, for instance, has just offered another most gratuitous insult to this country by ordering several Sardinian subjects to leave the Tuscan territories within a few hours' notice, and refusing to listen to any remonstrances or explanations on the part of the Sardinian representative, so that his order was literally carried into effect. The case, as far as I have been informed, stands thus :—a M. d'Aste, who is the head master of a most respectable school at Genoa, wished to make an excursion with some of his scholars during the vacation (as is the cus tom in this country and Switzerland, and perhaps elsewhere now), and had selected Florence as the object of his journey, with the view of showing his pupils the galleries of pictures and numer ous other works of art with which that capital abounds. Nothing would appear more natural— few things more praiseworthy—in a schoolmaster anxious to combine instruction and amusement for the benefit of the youths committed to his charge, yet M. Landucci, looking at it from an Austro-Tuscan point of view, detected a revolu tionary conspiracy in the whole scheme, and dealt with it in his brusquest manner. The passports of M. d'Aste and his young friends were perfectly en reyle, having received the visa of the Tuscan Consul at Genoa, and therefore they were allowed to land at Leghorn, and travel by railway to Florence, without any obstacle on the part of the police, and it was only after they had been some hours esta blished in their hotel at Florence that they received an intimation from the Ministry of the Interior that the Government insisted on their leaving the country forthwith. M. d'Aste, of course, imme diately applied to the Sardinian Legation for pro• teotion, and M. Gianotti, the Charge d'Affaires in the temporary absence of Marquis Souli, lost no time in waiting on the Minister of the Interior, and representing to him what he considered to be the true state of the case, but M. Landucci had already made up his mind on the subject, and refused to recall his decision, so there was nothing left for M. d'Aste but to comply with this most arbitrary order, nor for M. Gianotti, but to report the whole affair to his Government. M. Landucci's reasons for acting in this discourteous way are, I am told, because many of the professors in the school of which M. D'Aste Is chief are Tuscan political refugees, and therefore these boys of 12 or 14 must have imbibed revolu tion ary principles. Whether this argument is right . v founded or not, it is morally certain that M. Landucci has now given the youth of Genoa a specimen of the blessings of absolute government that they v ,i/1 not forget to the end of their lives. Count CavOur, as Minister of Foreign Affairs, on receivingM.Gia2lOtti'is report,immediatelyaddressed a strong remonsti• a zice to the Tuscan Government, I believe, and an ansN7er is shortly expected. In the meantime people are tolerably unanimous in as cribingsecret diplomacy and family influences of cribing this irritating poliscY to the Austria, as well as to her r encouraging hostile attitu ‘ lO towa encouraging that is to her satellites the King of Naples and the small sovereig..l6" of central Italy, who would never venture to hold :1;12 e language they have done lately to the allied Gove.rl:ments if they were not secretly urged on by Austri.q. The Armenia to-day ridicules the credulity or Liberals, perversity of the Libertines, as it calls the in believing the story of Ciceruacchio's murder by Austrian soldiers, as told by General Garii:aldi) and by way of setting people right on the subj Out it relates a story tor their credence on its own au-. thority. The Armenia has seen a man—a Roman—who arrived at Toulon from the Crimea in the end of May last. This man had been a soldier in the war in the Crimea, and had seen Ciceruacchio at Kertch, at the head of a rich magazine of provi- L sions, where lie made a great deal of money by his traffic. On the other hand the Armenia has been assurred that the wife of Ciceruacchio, who remains at Rome, has never wept her bus ba tad as dead, nor does she do so now. On this information the Armenia declares the report of Garibaldi one of the usual fables with which th, Republicans are wont to excite the sacred flame of hatred towards the barbarians. " Garibaldi con tented himself with asserting his falsehood, and all the Libertines repeat it by heart as if they were the words of the Gospel. Oh, what innocence !" Another piece of railway from Santhia, on the Turin and Novara rail, toßiella, has been opened to the public to-day. This branch, which is 30 kilo metres in length, brings the important town of Biella into railway communication with Turin and Genoa and the Lago Maggiore. Biella is the centre of a manufacturing district, where woollen and other fabrics are made in considerable quantities, and latterly of a very fair quality. Under the fostering hand of protection it is related that the manufac turers of Biella were content to introduce foreign cloths by contraband, and, after adding their own fringe and stamp to them, send them into the mar ket as domestic manufactures. But the free trade policy of Count Cavour, by lowering tie import duty, destroyed the profits of the contraband trade, and obliged the Biella manufacturers to have recourse to fairer and not less honest competition with the foreign producer. Of c ourse th ere was . no party the country louder in denouncing the unpatriotic policy of M. Bavour than the Biellese selvedje makers; but it is a wonderful thing that notwithstanding their own predictions of certain ruin, they have almost all realized large fortunes within the last few years, and the number of fac tories at Biella are continually on the increase. The branch railway, now open, which cost 4,500,000 f., was made almost exclusively with Biel!a capital. Shares were issued for 5,000,000, but only 4,500,000 were called for, as the Novara Company under takes to work it, and therefore it is not necessary to purchase rolling stock. To-morrow—the festa of the Nativity of the Virgin—the first experiment of excursion trains in this country is to be made on the Turin and Genoa Railway.

A letter from the Lombard frontier, dated the sth inst., iu the Opinione of Turin of the Bth, says : .‘ We were told some time ago that numerous fur loughs were to be granted to the soldiers of the Austrian army. The contrary is the ease. All the absent sol diers and recruits have been ordered to return to their respective corps. It was said at Pavia that the winter garrison would only consist of two companies of infantry. To-day we are informed that it is to be composed of six companies of infantry, two squadrons of hussars, and a battery of eight guns, and that these troops are to oc cupy the citadel, which has been lately repaired. The whole army in Italy has been placed on the war footing," The Genoa Corriere Mercantile of the ith inst., publishes the following letter addressed to it by the Secretary of Murat : " Chateau of Buzenval, Sept. 3, 1356. " Sir,—The juuriial Le Si6cle has extracted from the Corriere Mercantile and translated the following in its ❑umber of this day :—`The report relative to the circu lation of a Muralist proclamation in the kingdom o Naples is confirmed.

" LIZABE RIIFFONI." Letters from Tuscany state that subscription for the hundred guns of Alessandria had been opened at Leghorn, Florence, Pica, Pistoja, and other towns, and that the Government bad taken no measures to prevent them. The reigning Grand Duke was said to have declared, in a private conversation with an influential personage of the Liberal party, that he would abdicate should the least disturbance occur in Tuscany. The Archduke Leopold, director of the Engineer ing Department, left Verona on the sth for Porto Legnago. Si. Luigi Negrelli, Inspector-General of the railways of the Austrian Monarchy, passed through Verona, on the 6th, on his way to Piedmont. The object of his journey is to effect a journey between the Piednaontese and Lombard railways. PRUSSIA. BERLIN, SEPT. 8. The Prince Regent of Baden, who has hitherto exercised the functions of government in the place of his elder brother, whose state of mental derange ment leaves no hope of his recovery, has at length assumed the title of Grand Duke of Baden, doubt less in preparation for his approaching marriage with the Princess Louisa of Prussia. The follow ing is the text of the proclamation that he has issued on the occasion : "We,. Friedricb, by the grace of God Grand Duke of Baden, and Duke of Zahringen, make known by those presents ; when at the decease of our father the Grand Duke Leopold, of imperishable memory, the agnates of our house, in concurrence with her Serene Highness our mother, pronounced that our dearly beloved brother the Hereditary Grand Duke Ludwig, was incompetent to undertake the govern. ment of the Grand Duchy and to conduct it to the benefit of the family and the country,' we, being called thereto by the grace of God and the law of our house, entered upon the government of the Grand Duchy with all the rights and duties attached to and incumbent on the Sovereignty, and at the same time received the homage. Being actuated, however, by fraternal consi derations, we refrained at that time from assuming the title of Grand Duke ; but after the experience of four years we cannot conceal from ourselves that, for the pro tection of the interests of our country as well as for the exercise of our rights and duties, we cannot abstain for any long period from assuming the title of Grand Duke ; and we cannot close our eyes to the consideration that in allowing a right that comes to us by the laws of our house to remain longer in abeyance we ourselves would not be the only person affected by our so doing. In sub ordinating therefore our own personal feelings to consi derations connected with the future of our own family and of our country we find ourselves strengthened by the recent expression of the wishes of our agnates—viz., that we should assume the title of Grand Duke and carry it out to its consequences as though we had acted upon this right earlier. We accordingly declare that we hereby assume the title of Grand Duke, that fell to us with all its rights and privileges at the time of our en tering upon the government. We command all our subjects to conform to this. "Given under our own hand and seal in our capital of Karlsruhe, Sept. 5, 1856. " FRIEDRICH. " VON MEYZENBERG. " REGENALIER. " VON STENGEL.

The following is the text of a note that the Mi nister of Foreign Affairs in Greece has just lately forwarded to the representative of France at the Court of Athens " Athens, Aug, 13 (25.) I , M. le Ministre,—ln a conversation which took place yesterday on a public promenade between M. l'Amiral Bouet Willaumez and M. le Colonel Touret, Commandant de Place d'Athenes, the admiral said in a loud voice, and so as to be heard by a large number of bystanders, who have informed us of the matter, that he would never permit the Government to change its Com mandant de Place at the Pirmus, that it was he who was king of the Pimus, and that if they sent him another officer he would send him babk under charge of gen darmes to Athens. Colonel Touret having been ques- tioned on the subject, confirms these expressions. "As a protest against these expressions, pronounced in public, and which involve a direct attack upon the sovereign rights of, and the respect due to the Crown, the Queen has immediately ordered another destination to be given to M. Melingo, who has hitherto fulfilled the functions of Commandant de Place at the Pirmus. Her Majesty will not permit even the shade of a suspicion to exist that she could tolerate the least infringement on the sovereignty, the sacred deposit of which has been intrusted to her by the King. "In thus fulfilling my duty of communicating to you the preceding, I must at the same time express the re gret which an incident so untoward has caused the Government. " Receive the assurances, &c.

General Dulce had resumed his duty as Director-General of Cavalry. The cholera had broken out suddenly with great violence at the Escurial, and had caused several deaths. M. Escalante, ministerintheUnited Staten, had sent in his resignation, and it was to bo accepted. Several employes of the Minister of Finance had held a meeting to deliberate as to whether or not they should resign, but had resolved to keep their places. The Gazette announces officially that M. Gonzalez, Spanish Minister in London, had an audience of the Queen of England on the 27th ' ult., to announce the termination of his mission to Majesty. He, as usual on such occasions, tha:iked her Majesty for the kindness she had s hown him, and the Queen, on her part, expressed her pleasure at the friendly relations existing be tween Spain and. England. There was a talk of establishing a general discount bank. The Minis try of Public Works was occupying itself with the projected establishment of lines of steamers be tween Spain and her American colonies. General Iriarte had been nominated Captain-General of Porto Rico. The French refugees at Guipuzcoa had, by order of the authorities, been ordered to reside iu the interior of the kingdom. A letter says :—" It has been reported to-day that General O'Donnell is about to resign, and to be replaced. by General Ros de Olano, but the rumour is ab surd. Such is the confidence inspired by the Cabinet, that several capitalists have offered it ad vances at not more than 6 per cent., but none are needed. What has been said about a decree on the press about to be issued is unfounded, but an early promulgation of the constitution is expected. mess of the It is said that the Emperor and Eri;:) r French intend to make an excursion in but this is only a rumour." A letter from St. Petersburg of the 2d says " It is generally reported that tho relations of Russia and Sweden have been of late anything but friendly, and that the Swedish ambassador sent by the court of Stockholm to the coronation could not fail to have noticed the coolness which exists between the two States." The Council of State of Neufchatel has published a proclamation, in which it acquaints the inhabit• ants of the republic that order is again restored, and also thanks them for the patriotism and courage displayed by them during the late events. " The Austrian Government," says a letter from Vienna of the sth, in the Augsburg Gazette, "hav ing in vain offered the most sincere advice to the Neapolitan Cabinet, appears to have taken the resolution, which is ipartly dictated by dynastic motives, of remaining foreign to any ulterior nego tiations, and of awaiting the pacific solution of the Neapolitan question. It is assured that Baron de Hubner has in consequence received orders to ab stain from passing by Naples." The King of Prussia arrived at Sohlobitton on the 4th. The Queen will remain a few clays longer at Bromberg, in consequence of a slight indisposi tion. FOUR MEN DROWNED.—.& most distressing accident occurred In the little seaport of Blyth, OR the Northum- berland coast, on Monday, by which four lives were sacrificed. It is a remarkable circumstance that, though a great portio❑ of the population of this district have to make a living upon the water, scarcely one in 10 of them can swim. So notorious is it that the Duke of Northumberland, at his own cost, has a person engaged teaching the people in the fishing villages this art. Ex- tensive improvements are being made in Blyth harbour, with a view to improve it as a shipping place for coal. On Monday a number of men were employed swinging a barge, which had been taking in mud from the dredger. She was lopsided, from having too much ballast on one side, and, getting into the tide, upset. Thirteen men were plunged into the water, and every effort was made to rescue them ; but, as few of them could swim, 'this was a very hazardous job, and four of them sank ant! were drowned. Their bodies have Lean recovered, and are awaiting the coroner's inquest.—Manchester Guar dian. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC. LIVERPOOL, THURSDAY. This morning the United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Captain Comstock, arrived in th e Money, with the ma il s f rom the United States and British North America. She left New York on the 30th lilt, and has brought GO passengers and $200,970 in specie on freight. The rupture between the Senate and House of Representatives on the Army Appropriation Bill continues. The bill being referred to the Confer ence Committee, composed of Senators Hunter, Begleraust, Crittenden, and Messrs. Campbell, Stephens, and Sherman, members of the House of Representatives, failed, however, in effecting the adjustment. The House, on the 28th of August passed a bill, appropriating $40,000 to purchase .7 and repair the ship Resolute, for the purpose of presentation to the English Government. The senators at the caucus meeting resolved to continuo the session to the 4th of March, unless the Army Appropiation Bill is passed earlier. The Illinois steam-ship, from California, arrived at New York on the 29th August. Her dates are to the sth ult. She has brought 1,500,000 dollars in gold. The Vigilance Committee is still exist ing.

(From the Daily Nem.) The letter of M. Louis Blanc respecting the treat ment of the political prisoners in Cayenne has only been answered by the correspondent of a morning journal whose inspirations are notoriously derived from the Rue Jerusalem. But a document has been placed in our hands which will help the European public to judge between M. Louis Blanc and the organ of the French police. If the French govern' ment is ready to play the part of the cruel gaoler towards the political exiles of other countries, how will it act towards its own ? If the French g°: vernment is guilty of inhumanity towards political exiles in France, what will it be in Cayenne f With these questions we leave our readers to P,"" use, and judge for themselves of, the following communication : ITALIAN EXILES IN FRANCE. Ever since the year 1849 the Italian government ° have been in the habit of making a razzia among .the young men. And as th e p r i sons are constantfi full of the latter, the remanets are shipped off for America. Not knowing the l anguage, left without resource—that, too, in that country where the cur toms are so different from our own—the gr eater part of these Italians return to Europe. gore' finding their native country closed against them, the), turn their steps to th e on ly l an d w h ere they are sure o f finding both freedom and hospitality.

Leaving the Sardinian states, I landed at Morselllo4 on my way to London, through France. But on 1 11 1 10th of March a posse of police agents dragged me 011 of my room , and I was locked up in a hideous dungeon.; Here I was kept till the 10th of May. They t oo k away my money and clothes. During these two m o uths 0 ° kind of legal proceedings, even for form's sake, took place, not the slightest question asked to enlighten' lo as to the cause of my detention, and I began to glrs myself up for lost, when I was suddenly told I was oboe' to start for England: They then handcuffed me, pu t chain round my neck, and h an d e d me over to t h e " " respondence." My travelling companions were Eerie ° Todrani from Rome, Domenico di Dominicis, A 114. man also, and another named Jean Baptiste de Negro, a man advanced in years, who for thirty years had lived constantly at Marseilles, a man W l2° had a Frenchwoman for his wife, and by wh° ta he had several children. This French " Correspon• dance," that is merely used for the conveyance of male' factors, travels by short stages, so that we were more tban three months on our journey. At last, on the 18th of August, we were put upon the English coast at Dover, free, it is true, but without a centime, as far as I raying was concerned, and without our effects, that we might have sold wherewith to bay bread. All that we four could muster amounted to two shillings. Ignorant of the language, having friends only in London, with a garb calculated to excite disgust rather than pity, we resoled to travel from Dover to London on foot. At a village we came to I gave my cravat in exchange for shelter fat the night. We reached London on the 20th, where the friendly reception given us by our fellow-countrytee, rl mule us forget for a few moments the tortures we 11 1 ° been subjected to. (Signed) Lunn GURBZOL.A.
