THE ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION TO THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES Is TWO GUINEAS PER ANNUM. Ett Agititliern firm MONDAY, JUNE 30, 18,56 WE are beginning to get an insight into the im portant political part the Sound Dues have played in Northern Europe. They gave to Russian manu facturers and ships peculiar advantages, and to Prussia a perfect monopoly of the largest portion `Of the carrying trade of the Baltic. One of the Witnesses examined before the Sound Dues Com• mittee on Friday said, " Prussian vessel's had " certain privileges, by way of exemption, over " other countries, which relieved them ofa portion " of the dues levied on the ships of other countries. " The result was, that the Prussian ships of Ros " took, possessing these advantages, had a mono '.' poly of the carrying trade. He concurred in the " opinion that the imposition of the Sound Dues was a great grievance. They were very unequally " levied." But this is not all—Mr. BOLDERNANN tells us that " since 1839 a transit duty had been " imposed on goods passing from this country " overland." His opinion was, that this transit duty was charged in lieu of Sound Dues, and he was also of opinion that if this transit duty was converted into an ad valorem duty, it would be found to be at a higher rate than the Sound Dues. And he was further of opinion, that " the imposition " of a transit duty had a very injurious effect on " British commerce. In many instances it doubled " the freight of goods from Hamburg to Lubeck. " The overland commerce was increasing every " year. Last year 300,000 cwt. passed into the Baltic by that route, and every year the value of " the goods imported overland amounted. to " 150,0001. The commerce would, no doubt, be " more extensive if no transit duty was charged.'' This, even, does not give us a full view of the impor- tant part these Dues have played in the a• British policy of the North. The detention of vessels passing the ' its influence in keeping hack the ent country. Mr. ROBINSON, a member Shipowners' Association, gave co' on this head ; and Mr. MITCHE exporter of valuable goods, sai which he was a member, sen' way round by Paris to avoio that, "in consequence of " compelled to send goods " to arrive at the Baltic " were very heavy on yr,: " shipped."

HOUGHTON & LEVY, Brokers THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. It is enough that our valuable merchandise has beell driven out of its lawful path for more than a ,qAt ell of a century by exhorbitant imposts, which Oujii s to have been abolished centuries since. The idea of allowing British ships to be detained in Prussian ports, and their papers ransacked for Dues claimed by Denmark, is almost too monstrous to be credited. If such a thing had been generally known it never would have been submitted to. We are indebted to diplomatic secrecy for such a surrender of our independence as a nation. The Committee have not shown us what services, or other species of value, we get from Denmark for the amount she claims for Sound Dues ; whether she has any lights on the shores of the Sound which are not required for the use of her own ports, and how many of the few light houses she has which are not as indispensable for her domestic purpose as they are in the safe navi gation of the Sound. If the Danes have erected those light beacons to give security to the ships of the world passing through that passage, totally irrespective of the wants of any Danish ports, most unquestionably the use of those lights should be paid by all wayfarers; but to think of charging the ships of all nations for port lights which they never see, and need not look for, is a glaring imposition, and one which will not be much longer allowed by England, even if America should consent to the exaction. The Committee have said something about Danish lighthouses, but they have not told us how many are purely port lights, and how many belong wholly to the navigation of the Sound. We may, however, have this point cleared up before the Committee close the enquiry ; and, when the country receives this most necessary information, we shall be better able to judge of the reasonable ness of asking the public to pay 1,000,0001. toward the capitalisation of an excessive tax for which they do not receive fair value. LORD PALMERSTON will -not meet Mr. MOORE. At one tilme this would have been a very serious charge to have brought against any man who had received a challenge. But fire-eating has gone completely out of fashion, and the billicose mortal who now invites another to meet him at the early dawn of morning for the innocent pleasure of shooting him, is looked on as a bedlamite. Society, in fact, appears to be fully convinced of the sound ness of our moral philosophy, namely," it is better to "be a coward than a corpse." And the PREMIER answers his Parliamentary antagonist in pretty much the same strain. The Noble Viscount thinks it better to be a war agitating Minister than a defunct First Lord of the Treasury. Lord PAL MERSTON will not therefore give Mr. MOORS the satisfaction the Honourable Member asks in the name slf the House of Commons on the American question. The Noble Lord confines his defence to that sublime doctrine—armor patrice. Mr. MOORE does not dispute the purity of the PREMIER'S patriotism. All he seeks is a certain amount of information on which Parliament may form an opinion as to the legality and consistency of the conduct of the Cabinet of which Lord PALMERSTON is the leader. The Honourable Member for Mayo only asks what any Minister ought always to be ready to afford, and what the mercantile classes, and the country at large, would, in this instance, be but too happy to hear. The negociakions pending between America and England can scarcely be of such a formidable character as to require the observance of Oriental secresy ! If the past uncertainty as to the probable issue of the difficulties between the two countries is to be renewed by the Government's refusing to give Parliament a candid ex4lanation of what they'have done, and the course they intend: to pursue, what, we would as_ lc, is to become of trade ? The Board of Trade returns for the last month show merely a nominal increase in our exports for the past month as compared with the corresponding period of 1855. With nothing to meet excessive taxation, and a constant threat of war before the public eye, what, we must again enquire, is to be come of commerce ? The aristocracy are unusual prosperous. They are getting good rents for their lands—and may circumstances always favour the landowner as well the merchant—they have an army and fleets, from which they draw millions a year, and it is really not too much to ask, when the trader is t ) have a seed time and harvest. We do this with the greater importunity, as experince has shown that it requires almost supernatural patriotism and tloyalty in a statesman to hold the balance evenly, where a multiplicity of interests are thrown into the scales. And considering the alarming magnitude of the interests at Bolt-, the American question, it iq should see how far " with these inestirr In the wa loyal spirit cau. , Ah Hou a subject Juld be per- 23T exposed to station during the it would be im ses of Parliament There must be some inde both Houses who see the danger a question open, and th 9 effect a out of doors must have on the 'ay interest, and trade and commerce Every s tno man must be aware .c the country has already lost by keeping isgraceful affair alive for so long a time, and we are to have politicians playing their diplo matic airs, or the wretched ministerial rebec for as many months more, we may find that 'that which up to now his ben a miserable farce, tin great disloyal and dastardly tragedy we apprehend. It requi« es perfect unanimity in the public mind of Great Britain, if not of Europe, to carry on a war successfully; and who will dare to giirantee this indispensable union in a struggle against one of the most free and onward countries in Christen dom ? This is a query Which Parliament ought to solve before it rises, and not leave the people to dwell on a topic which will only serve to inflame prejudice, and give unnatural warmth to the torrent of political passion with which it will fill England and the Continent. son, tho Jedingto small num- At class from young fellows, What they are of The fact is, Treland for PROM Ewalt, IS.

Letters from Paris mention that a rumour is current of the probability of a third prorogation of the Legislative Body before the session closes. It is said that this will be necessitated by the mea sure before the Chamber relative to the modifies, tinn of Customs Tariff not likely to be settled, as it receives a very lively opposition, notwithstanding the concessions' already made by the Government. In consequence of the lengthened discussion upon this measure, it appears not possible for the Legis• lature to come to a close on the 2d July, the day to which the Assembly is prorogued ; therefore a new decree is looked for, authorising them to continue their labours until the 15th or 20th of July. Meounts from the wine district of Auxerre, in France, state that the humid weather which pre vailed during the flowering season of the vine has lessened the prospects of much fruit. The plants suffered at night chiefly, and in some vineyards destroyed the new f'ruit. Meanwhile, the return of fine weather has given hopes of the injurious effects of the moisture being checked, and an average vintage resulting from the season. If the weather continues firm until the middle of July, any further damage will be of little consequence. The vino growers are standing out for exorbitant prices, which purchasers are not inclined to give, although they offer a fair advance on last year's prices. . In the London Stock Market, there was extreme buoyancy to-dap We quote the following report from Mr. Aven's circular The reduction in the minimum rate of discount, combined with a plentiful supply of money in the general market, ant the prospect of increased case and further abundance, has produced en extraordinary effect upon our markets to-day, particularly upon the price of railway securities. Contrary to the ordinary practice of recent times upon a Saturday. we have had a most extensive and animated business followed by an advance in quotations almost unprecedented for rapidity and magnitude. It has avenged from 1 to fully 3 per cent. Certainly, compared with the present and prospective value of money, and especially remembering the long period during which railway stock has been depressed, so considerable an improvement is not out of the way. It only attracts attention from its liability to serious reaction in the event of unfavourable weather, or of some threatening change in our political relations, or of some casualty affecting commercial credit. At all events, judging from the speculative disposi tion manifested to-day, and the tendencies which it has already developed, we regard with satisfaction the policy of the Bank directors in abstaining from lowering the rates of discount more than 7 1 per cent. in the first instance ; and we now believe that both prudence and policy dictate the postponement of any further „o ne anie fur a seernieht at least, if not for throe week©. The Bank, however, under the pressure of the formidable competition it has to meat, must have regard to the interests of its proprietors ; still, the interests of the proprietors are not essentially distinct from those of the public, and the public interest would certainly suffer if the speculative tendencies now rife were unduly encouraged. What we most fear is the competition of the monied interests for the profi'able employment of their reserves during the next two months. Tie banks have been so long accustomed to extraordinary profits from the long continued dearness of money, that, unless managed with consummate prudence, they will fall into the error of endeavouring to maintain those excep+ional profits by unduly extending their accommodation, and so create the very evil which, we knew, they are anxious to avoid. To-day's transactions upon the stock exchaege are only a reflex of what is passing outside : and the time is now at hand when we are to see whether joint stock management will equal in prudence the commercial and mercantile management‘during the critical period from which we are now emerging. Consols opened at 95 to 1 ex-dividend, very firm, and wi'h a good demand. -Almost immediately, they improved to 951 to A, still firm; bet before the close they gave way slightly, and finally left off - 1 se , exceedingly strong, The scrip of the new loan closed "Is pm.

The closing quotation of the e'rench three per cents upon the Paris bourse, were 71f 65c, being an improvement of per cent on yesterday's prices. In the Mincing-lane markets this week there has not been much activity, an absence of specula tive dealing being apparent. Of sugar the pur chasers have generally been confined to immediate wants, but buyers have evinced a willingness to operate at the slightest concession in prices. The stock of this staple at the port of London at the end of last week was 57,888 tons against 58,618 in the corresponding period of 1855. Coffee has been dull, and prices have declined 6.1 to is per cwt ; tea at public sale has scareely sustained previous prices, and cocoa is -a trifle cheaper. For rice the enquiry has :.diminished, and a decline of 6d per c. , %1; from the recent high point has occurred. Rum has been in improved request at a slight enhancement. Saltpetre has realised 6d per cwt, and spices have realised full rates. Tallow has been improving. CHARGE OF CRIMINAL ASSAULT ON A GIRL.—OR Saturday a case of the above description was investigated in one of the private rooms attached to the police court, before Mr. Aiken, one of the magistrates. The charge was pre ferred by a smart well dressed girl, named Charlotte Brown, aged 15, against a man named Jams Hill, a cabinet maker, residing in: Paddington. Mr. Pemberton defended the prisoner. Th girl lived as servant with the prisoner, and about a fortnight ago the offence was said to have been committed. From the evi lence of the girl, and a certificate of Dr. Sibbald, there was no doubt about the charge, but in consequence of the conduct of the girl the magistrates said the criminal proceeding failed, and he must dismiss the complaint, at the same time he censured, in very strong language, the conduct of the man, and advised the mother of the girl to seek redress by a civil action. Tn WzaTsiza.—TnE Caors.—The weather, during the past week, has been most propitious in every respect Indeed, it may be said to be the fi,st summer weather of the season—sunny and warm. The crops in the vicinity of the town look vigorous and most promising ; and that useful esculant, the potato, surpasses in appearance anything pre sented for several years past. The vegetable, so far, that is brought to market, is good and dry, and within the last few days the size has greatly increased. The corn crop, too, is fine and healthy, and, with a continuance of the present favourable weather, an early and productive harvest may be looked for. We have spoken with a gentleman who has, within bst week, travelled a considerable prtion of the south coast of Ireland, and he reports that the best prospects are presented as to the crops in that part of the kingdom. LA_ FEST INTELLIGENCE. THE EAST MARSEILLES, JUNE 28. The Carmen has just arrived, bringing news from Constantinople to the 19th inst. The only point of interest is the announcement made by the Presse (1' Orient, of a communication made by the Ottoman Government to the effect that the rumours which have been of late generally circulated are wholly destitute of foundation in truth SWEDEN AND NORWAY. From Stockholm under date of the 27th instant, we learn that the government is prepared to accept the declaration of the Maritime Laws as settled by the Peace Congress at Paris SPAIN We are in receipt of despatches from Madrid. to the date of the 29th inst. The insurrectionists in Valladolid have been brought to trial, and another execution, which it is believed will not be the last, has taken place. THE DUCHY OF PARMA Advices to the date of the 28th instant, men tion that at the period of their despatch, the Duchy of Parma was perfectly quiet. Numerous individuals who had been placed under arrest for supposed complicity in the in surrectionary movement, had been discharged from custody, and hopes were sanguinely enter tained, that the state of siege would speedily be raised. FRANCE. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT PAhIS, FRIDAY EVENING You will remember that a few days back I was able to announce to you, on good authority, that, on account of the very great coolness which has sprung up between France and Russia, the long talked of and often postponed departure of Count do Morny for St. Petersburg had been put off to the 10th July. I learn to-day from an excellent source that this departure, though not exactly postponed sine die, will certainly not take place until Russia shall have made an advance to France, by definitively nominating an ambassador to represent her here—a nomination which, at present, she has shown a reluctance to make. Prince Dolgorouki, who was originally selected by his government for the post, has been d,finitively set aside—and this, as I have already informed you, has caused offence to France. Touching the reported interview between the Emperor of the French and the Emperor of Austria, which I spoke of as probable in a recent letter, I learn to-day that nothing has been definitively settled about it, but that the chances are that it will take place. The place now spoken of for it is Rheinberg, somewhere on the AustrO-Swiss Iron tier. lam assured that the interview will be of a strictly private and confidential nature The French government, I hear, has sent orders to the Crimea that some of the regiments there, instead of coming to France, shall be landed in Greece, and shall take the most energetic measures possible for the suppression of brigandage. The departure of the Emperor for Plombieres is fixed for the 2nd July. It is from that place that he is to go to Switzerland to see the Emperor of Austria. The departure of the Cardinal Legate Patrizzi is to take place on Tuesday. Count Walewski, Minister of Foreign Affairs, is to leave for Wiesbaden on Thursday. The improvement on the Bourse commenced yes terday has continued to-day. People are beginning to hope that the crisis is at an end. It is expected that the Bank of France will reduce its discount. The "great Dallas black-neckcloth question" has excited considerable interest. The following are the terms in which a London letter, printed osten sibly in the official organ of the government, the /V/oniteur speaks of it :—" An incident, which could not fail to cause a certain emotion, occurred at the last levee of the Queen. At the moment at which the foreign ambassadors and ministers were about to pass before her Majesty it was perceived that several members (sic) of the Legation of the United States were attired in a manner contrary to all usages on such occasions ; one of them in particular was in trousers, a frock coat and a black cravat, This negligence having attracted the attention of everybody, General Sir E. Cust, master of the ceremonies, after, probably, taking the orders of the Queen, addressed some remarks on the subject to Mr. Dallas, and begged him to advise the member of his legation not to present himself before the Queen in the dress in which he was. Mr. Dallas choosing rather, as we are assured, to decline the honour of saluting the Queen, retired with his legation. This inci dent appears to have produced a painful impression on the persons present." The Moniteur publishes the first list of the English contributors to the fund for the relief of the victims of the inundations. It is headed by the names of the Queen, Prince Albert, and the Duke of Cambridge. The Bishop of Arras has just published a strange pastoral letter, which is greeted with shouts of derision. He says in it, quite seriously, that having recently been to Rome, he is able to declare that it is quite an error to suppose that the Romans complain of their government, or are anxious to overthrow it, or that they grudge the splendour of the Cardinals and the pomp of the Papacy, or that they complain of being infested with beggars, and kept in subjection by brigands. On the contrary, says the right reverend prelate, they adore the Pope and the Cardinals, love their system of government, admire their beggars, see no cause to complain of their brigands, and are in short the most con tented, happiest, and liveliest people in the world. The man who naively writes such nonsense as this is considered one of the most learned and sagacious of the episcopal bench of France. Judge, then, what comical ideas of good government and popular contentment ordinary churchmen must entertain. P.S.—The same official Patric this evening, publishes a leading article on the " black neck cloth" affair. It is terribly severe on the offending Yankees. FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. THE COURT In answer on Friday to the enquiries of the diploma tic corps and the nobility at Buckingham Palace after the Princess Royal, the following account of her royal high ness's state was given :—" The Princess Royal's arms which was severely burnt a few days ago by her dress having caught fire, is much easier, and her royal highness is able to go out in the garden." The Prince Consort went to Kensington Palace on Friday afternoon, attended by Captain the Hon. D. de Ros. The Queen and Prince Albert, with the Prince of Wales and Prince Frederick William of P ussia, took a drive on Friday afternoon in an open landau and four. The Equerries in Waiting attended on horseba , .k. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, aceompanied by Prince Frederick William of Prussia, honoured the performance of Madame Ristori, at the Lyceum Theatre, with their presence in the evening, BUCKIYGIIADI PALACE, Saturday.—The nobility and gentry called in great numbers at the palace during the day to enter their names on the list of enquirers after the health of her royal highness. The Princess walked this morning in the garden of the palace. The Queen also promenaded in the garden. No written answer was given to-day to the numerous enquirers after the Princess Royal, owing to the improvement that has taken place in the state of the arm. His Royal Highness Prince Oscar of Sweden, attended by Lieut.-colonel Cavendish, groom in waiting to the Queen; and also by Colonel Loven, and other gentlemen of his suite, went yesterday forenoon to Wormwood Scrubs. His royal highness and party quitted Claridge's Hotel at ten o'clock, in two of the Queen's carriages and four, and after wit nessing the military review returned to Londou, and went in the afternoon to pay a visit to Prince Frederick William of Prussia. PRINCE FREDERICK WILLIAM OE PaussLt•—The visit of this young prince to our court terminated this day, when his royal highness took leave of her Majesty and Prince Albert, on his return to Prussia. The prince took leave yesterday of the members of the royal family at their respective residences, and this afternoon, at three o'clock, went out in an open carriage to pay a series of visits pour prendre conge. About eight o'clock this evening, Prince Frederick William took his departure from the Palace. His royal highness and suite were conveyed in two of the Queen's carriages from the Palace to the Lon don Bridge station, where they started by the South Eastern Railway for Dover, on, their way to Aix la Chapelle To—day, his Majesty the King of the Belgians is ex pected to arrive in London, on a visit to the Queen. CABINET COUNCIL.—A. Cabinet Council was summoned on Friday, to meet on Saturday at the Foreign Office, at two o'clock. Soon after three o'clock Lord Panmure, Lord Harrowby, Sir Charles Wood, Mr. Baines, Mr . Vernon Smith, Sir George Grey, Lord Clarendon, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Mr. Lahouchere, Lord Lansdowne, the Duke of Argyle, and Lord Palmerston had assembled. The Earl of Harrowby left the Council about half-past four, having to leave town, but the rest cf the Cabinet remained in deliberation for a ponsiderable time longer. THE QUARTER'S REVENUE. —The returns of the revenue will be made up on Monday night for the quarter end ing on that day._ The accounts will be published, showing the gross revenue, instead of the net as hereto fore. This is carrying out Mr. Glad tone's Act of 1854. But the usual comparisons will, of course, be made upon the year and the quarter, by putting together the gross and net revenues of the respective quarters and years, ending June 30, 1855, and June 30, 1856. The present - re' urns will be satisfactory, as compared with those of 1855. In the great items of Customs and Excise particularly, the resources of the country will exhibit a steady sustainmcnt. In spite of the adverse circumstances - of 'the close of a costly war, the Customs receipts will bear a favourable comparison with those of last year, whilst in the Inland Revenue, the sure test of general prosperity and increasing consumption, there will be an increase of almost half a million on the quarter , chiefly in the Property and Income Tax, and in the year of no less a sum than four millions. These are gratifying results, and will soon, with extended com merce and increased internal prosperity, make up for all the drain that a necessarily heavy war expenditure has produced. There is no other country whose fiscal system would bear such a large pressure, and exhibit such buoyancy as this.—Observer. CORONER'S IN —Oa Saturday the coroner held an inquest on the body of Richard Collier, aped 71 years, who resided with''' THE INUNDATIONS IN FRANCE General de Belville, who has been sent by the Emperor to visit the sufferers by the inundations of the Cher and the Loire, is pursuing his journey of investigation. During the early part of the present week, after stopping a day at Roanne, he went up the Loire and visited the different parts which had been ravaged by that river, and stopped in particular at the dyke of Pinay, which he examined with the greatest attention. The amount of the French subscript Ons in aid of the sufferers by the inundations, as Far as have yet been published, has reached the sum Pf 4,033,500 f. TURKEY. Accounts from Constantinople of the 20th say that the Porte has renounced the promulgation or the Hatti Humayouna, fearing to create fresh dis turbances. Three redments of English dragoons are about to leave Constantinople for Athens, order to reinforce the army of occupation. Russia has demanded that Persia shall regularise the part of her frontier which borders on Turkey. RUSSIA The governments of Cherson, Ekaterinoslafr, and P o d o lia, are declared to be no longer under martial law ; in the Crimea, however, it continues to exist, but will also shortly be dispensed with. The force that is to be permanently stationed in the Crimeani Peninsula after its evacuation by the Allies, is to be the third armee car t s, under General Wran eel, consisting, of about 50,000 infantry, and 8,000 cavalry. A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 17th, says : " It is intended very shortly to fit out a flotilla at Cronstadt to convey men and materials for the construction of vessels to the second Russian port, which is called Nicolaieff, on the Amoor river. It is necessary to send materials for the purpose, as they are only to be obtained with extreme difficulty in the country itself; but the cannon for arming the fortifications will be east in the Siberian foundries Part of the new army of Cossacks of the Lake of Baikal is to be transferred to the Amoon On the occasion of the coronation a long amnesty, comprising most of the condemned poli tical offenders under the preceding government, is expected. It has been proposed to the govern ment to construct railways in such a manner as to be ale to employ horses instead of locomotives cm them, so as not to be obliged to procure the work— ing material abroad, which would be both difficult and costly. This project is supported by some influential persons, but is not likely to be adopted.. Surprise has been felt in Finland at the governor having demanded a large sum to furnish his palace. The application, however, was not granted.' A letter from Warsaw in Spener's Gazette says : " Orders have been sent from St. Petersburg to forward to that city all the petitions of the emigrants and refugees who desire to return to their native land, with reports on the position of the petitioners and on the motives of their flight. A special bureau has been established in St. Peters • burg, under the presidency of Councillor Raehette, charged with the examination of these petitions." The smuggling over the Russian frontier, which the cantonment of such numerous bodies of Rus sian troops in its neighbourhood had very nearly annihilated during the war, is now reviving very rapidly ; in the last four months there have been seizures of smuggled goods on the frontier extend- - ing from Polengen to Georgenburch to the value of 30,000 roubles silver: these seizures seldom take: place without bloodshed and loss of life, the hand of smugglers being well organised, well armed,. and composed of desperate men. Advises from St. Petersburg, of the 18th inst state that very considerable inundations had taken. place in certain districts of the interior; the various Governmental departments had already (at the Emperor's command) despatched commissioners to inquire into the extent and nature of the evil at the spots affected, but no particulars were known at St. Petersburg at that date. THE PRINCiPALITIES The 03t Deutsche Post Vienna of the 23rd. says :—The question of the Principalities appears to have entered on a fresh phase, for it is announced from different quarters that the Anglo- French ideas relative to the union of Moldavia and Wallachia have undergone a sudden change. It appears that the Porte, which, as w,ll as Austria, is opposed to the junction, has transmitted both to Paris and London a memorandum which has net been without effect, GREECE His Majesty Otho, King of Greece, arrived at Vienna. on Wednesday last. His visit to the Emperor, it is said, is connected with the disor ganised state of his dominions, and with his suc cessor to the throne. The governments of England and France have' determined to take most energetic measures at Athens. Instructions have left Paris for the French Admiral which will enable him to employ the forces at his disposal for the immediate occupation of those districts which are still infested 11 brigands, and where the Greek authorities have failed to maintain tranquility and protect the inhabitants. Orders have been given to augment the forces already at the disposal of the allied commanders, which orders have been suggested by the despatches lately arrived in London arid Paris from Athens. General Kale4 , ,is, who is still in Paris, has had several interviews with the Emperor and M. Walewski. THE ITALIAN STATES The following letter from Parma, appears in the Opirtione of Turin, of the 22nd inst. Count Thun's mission to the Duchess of Parma, Pli the part of Radetzky, for the purpose of settling the dispute between the military commission and the ministry, not having succeeded, the Duchess Regent has written to Marshal Radetzky to recall Count Crenneville, the military commandant of Parma. To this Radetzky has not consented, but has merely recalled M. Kraus, the military auditor- The Duchess has declared that she wants no more . military commissions, and that her own ministry and the ordinary tribunals are sufficient to maintain order. Count Crenneville is preparing take his departure rather as a menace than as an act of condescension. Prince Deifebo Soragno has fallen into disgrace, and it is confidently rumoured that the state of siege will cease on the 9th of July, the young Duke's birthday. It is said that on hearing this, Count Crenneville said mysteriously, Before the 9th, something will take place to make the Duchess change her mild.'" There is sore dismay at Rome. The prasence of Garibaldi in the Italian waters has disturbed the slumbers of the Vatican. Garibaldi has purchased a small islet off the coast of Sardinia ; it is entirely in a state of nature, and is reclaiming it. Our Italian Robinson Crusoe makes occasional voya ges from Nice to his tiny dominio, s, and Antonelli and Pio IX. are dismayed at the thoughts of the bold rover ploughing the Tyrrhenian Sea. 10 this was owing that excessive watchfulness at Porto d'A nzio which has given so much trouble to the crew of the Lady Franklin.
