The Prince Regent of Prussia and the o•,her
Sovereigns and Princes of Germany, all except
Austria—an important and significant excepion
—have met the Emperor of the French, and sat
in Congress with him, at Baden-Baden. rhe
details of the movements of these great ler-
sonages on this important occasion will be foind
in another column. It is stated, on what is ca led
good authority, that at an interview with the
Prince Regent the Emperor Napoleon repeated
his peaceful assurances, and said that he desired
an interview in order to express them verbally.
The Pays asserts that the interview between
the Emperor and the Prince Regent was most
cordial. It is asserted that communications
exchanged between Berlin and Vienna represent
the interview at Baden as a most auspicious
event, and as a token of the general pacifi-
cation of Germany and Europe. It has been
remarked that nothing but an actual appetite
for self-humiliation could bring Prussia, with
a crowd of small sovereigns, to attend the
levee of a French Emperor at Baden. The man
who can destroy them can do them good if he
thinks fit. The map of Europe is disjointed;
landmarks are removed ; there is giving and
taking. A state threatened with absorption
may reasonably plead, not only for existence, but
for a modest degree of aggrandisement. So every
crowned head in Germany, excepting Austria, has
been doing honour to the Emperor of the French.
Would they like another confederation of the
Rhine ? It is scarcely possible to pity those who
invoke their own doom, and commit felo de se in
the act of dishonest expectations.
M. Thouvenel is concerting with Count Cavour
the line of policy to be followed by the Govern-
ments of France and Sardinia in common, in
reference to Sicilian affairs. It is said that des-
patches received in Paris, from Baron Brenier,
state that a revolution is imminent in the king-
dom of Naples. The mission of the Commander
de Martino to the French Cabinet has completely
failed.

The Government of Naples is said to be organi-
sing a military manifestation in favour of the
proclamation of a constitution.

The Secret Committee of Messina is in cor-
respondence with Garibaldi. The insurrection in
Calabria has been denied. Catania has been
evacuated. Several officers and a party of Neapo-
litan soldiers have deserted and returned to
Palermo, whence they have been sent to Calabria.
The state of the soldiers was wretched.
_ .

Advices from Palermo to the 10th state that Gari-
baldi was actively organising his army. Letters
again state that the English did not occupy the fort
of Castellamare during the embarkation of the
Neapolitan troops. The convocation of a Sicilian
Parliament according to the laws of 1848 was
shortly expected, for the purpose of ratifying
the proclamation which decrees the forfeiture of
the rights of the Bourbons and the union of Sicily
to the Itiugcl9r4 of Sardinia under 'Victor
Emmanuel.

Advices from Rome state that an official de-

patch had been received from Naples, giving
details of the-capture of the two steamers with
Garibaldians by the Neapolitan frigate Fulmi-
nante., These steamers,-which displayed the Sar-
dinian and Anterican flags, had on board 25,000
muskets, 32 cannons, 2,000,000 lbs. of powder,

and a considerable sum of money : 800 armed pas:-
sengers were taken prisoners, and, together with
the steamers, conveyed to Gaeta, on the 12th

A letter from Naples of the 12th instant men-

tions, under great reserve, a rumour that 2,000
Garibaldians, supposed to be commanded by Col.
Medici, had disembarked at Catanzaria, in Cala-
bria. It was still rumoured that an insurrection
had commenced in Calabria, and that the Nea-
politan government had sent General Nunziante
there as alter ego. Other letters say that General
Pianelli, the commander of the army in the
Abruzzi, had been summoned to act in Calabria.

A Council of the Royal Family of Naples
assembled on the 12th instant, to deliberate. A'
political demonstration was expected on the 13th.
Great anxiety prevailed among all Classes. Eight
French and two English men-of-war were in the
Bay of Naples.
Garibaldi had opened a national subscription
on behalf of the war. The Archbishop and all
the noble families in Sicily had subscribed.

" Coming events cast their shadow before." It
is a significant fact that General Lamoriciere's
wife and family have left Rome, and returned to
France. General Lamoriciere has despatched

troops to the Neapolitan frontiers. It is asserted

that Piedmont had promised to prevent an inva-
sion of the Pontifical frontier, unless such invasion
was in consequence of a declaration of war by
any Power. This declaration of Piedmont was
said to have been communicated to the Pope.

A report is current in France that Baron
Ricasoli is about to tender his resignation as
governor-general of Tuscany.
Gavazzi is preaching to large crowds of the
lower classes at Florence.

It is worthy of notice that none of the ambas-
sadorial' residences at Paris were illuminated on
the night of the annexation fetes. The diplo-
matic body did not attend the Te Deuin in the

morning.
Messrs. John Foster and Co., private bankers,
of Bilston, have suspended payment in conse-
quence of having discovered; that the manager,
without the knowledge of the firm, has made
advances to a house in the iron trade to an ascer-
tained extent of £lO,OOO. This bank has no
issue of its own. The amount involved is probably
moderate, and a satisfactory arrangement appears
to be anticipated.
A foreign provision broker writes from Liver-
pool to the Times, stating that the United States
of America have supplied us this year with a
double quantity of excellent salt beef. Really
good salt beef of last season's cure can be pur-
chased wholesale at from 20. to sd. per lb., with
a large profit on prime joints. This might be
sold in retail at 3d. to 6d. •
The Pera, with the heavy portion of the Aus-
tralian mails, arrived at Southampton on Satur-
day. Particulars will be found elsewhere.
In consequence of the torrents of rain which
have fallen throughout Scotland in the course of
the last ten days, the rivers have been swollen to
a considerable extent, and in some parts of the
country the damage done is very great. The
Earn in Perthshire flooded the -surrounding
fields all along its course, and swept away large
numbers of cattle. The several stream 4 which
run through Forfarshire were also swollen to an
unparalleled degree, and the consequences in that
county have likewise been serious, as the low-
lying lands were completely inundated. . The Dee
and Don in Aberdeenshire resembled rapids rather
than quiet rivers, and the " spate" was so violent
as to tear up trees from their roots, and even to
undermine extensive buildings. The rain also
fell in large quantities in the south, and particu-
larly in Selkirkshire, but the damage in that
quarter is not so considerable as in the northern
counties. The most disastrous consequences are
'•ikely to ensue from the injury done to the crops,
wiiole fields of young cereals being, in some
instances, litFally torn up by the roots.
