THE IRISH MERCENARIES AT
TOLENTINO.

Although several papers continue almost daily
to announce the return of large numbers of these
deluded men, it appears that there are still some
of them roving about different parts of Italy. A
.letter from Florence, dated the 9th inst., gives fresh
details.of excesses committed by them, on their
march from Maccrata to Rome, at Tolcntino.
The young and beautiful daughter of a lodging-.
house keeper in that town was being made the
subject .of the most infamous violence by these
mercenaries when, at the cries she uttered in try-
ing to make her escape from them, the priest
who had charge of the wretches ran t' her aid ;
so far, however, from paying any attention to
his remonstrances, they seized hold of him by
the collar, and having taken the chain from
the neck of the house-dog, they put it round the
neck of the priest, and in that manner dragged
him about, striking him at the same time right
and left. Another disturbance took place between
theni and some of the:citizens in a café, and in the
scuffle that followed, two of the Irish were so
severely injured that they had to be. sent to the
hospital. These facts have also been communi--
cated to the Opinione Natior,ale, at Turin.

telegram : PARIS, Aug. 14.

Powers on the affairs of Italy, is positively cOn-
tradieted.

PARIS, Aug. 15.

The 'representatives of England, Austria, and
Prussia, at the Court of the Tuileries, have.
already received the full powers necessary for
converting the protocol of the 3rd instant into a
formal convention. It is expected that before the
departure of the Emperor for Savoy and Algeria,
the Ambassadors of Russia and the Porte • will
have likewise received full powers, and that the
convention will be then definitively sjgne.d.
Prince Metternich and, Count Kisseleff will
immediately afterwards quit Paris on leave.
Prince Metternich will proceed to his estate in
Bohemia, where he will remain during the jour-
ney of the Emperor of the French.
The advantage to France of having a tele-
graphic cable laid down between her own coasts
and those of the United States is pointed out by
the. Constitutionnel in an able article, in which it
says the company' engages, for the guarantee of a
minimum revenue of £40,000 during fifty years,
tolay. down, within three years, a submarine
electric telegraph between the coasts of France
and the United States, with a station at New-
fotindland, and another, if thought desiable, in
one of the Azores. Other lines may be added if
deemed necessary, and on the same conditions.

rupted, on the 11th instant, by the inauguration
of the Salzburg and Munich Railway, will be

-morrow. It is expected that the com-
mittee will finish its labours on Saturday next, by
drawing up the propositions for the reorganisation
of the Austrian Constitution, which, by a majority.
of eighteen against three,ha ve been already agreed
to. Count Clam Martinez will, without doubt, be
appointed to present the report, in the name of
the committee, to the Reichsrath. • The choice of
such a person is a sufficient indication that the
conclusions of the committee are constitutional- . •
The general sittings of the Reichsrath, Which
will commence about the 21st or 22nd inst., will
decide the future destinies of Austria. The Hun-
garian Delegates intend to treat all questions in a

they will retire from the Council of the Empire
if entire liberty
,of speech be not alloWed.
